my name is janet clark, and i am a physical education teacher at lincoln high school. after the jrotc article in "the san francisco chronicle" a few weeks ago, a few of us tried to set up an appointment with the superintendent, and when that did not work, we try to meet with board members. we found out there was a june 9 board meeting, and two of us were able to come here and speak. all of this was done in the hopes to address to all of you our significant concerns about how the pe independent studies program was affecting our program, and we believed a look and how it is not working was warranted before voting to extend the deadline. unfortunately, pe does not get the recognition it deserves. we have an excellent position here in the san francisco unified school district. however, each year it gets a little harder to stand up with all of the cuts that our program gets. >> you know, we are credentialed teachers. if i was not credentials, i would not have a job. we gave rotc two years to get a credential, and not one of them did. thank you. >> hello, my name in marilyn.
