so kris, talk a little bit about how deep these cuts may go. you know, these cuts go really deep here in this alum rock community, laura. and if or when those seven schools close next fall, this is going to impact where thousands of children go to school and how their parents aim to get them there. i want to show you the schools that are on the final list. that will be recommended to the board today by the superintendent. it's cherrywood for elementary schools. toyon, lakeview, summerdale and ruskin on the middle school list. serramonte, piedmont and morrill. though the superintendent may request that one of those middle schools be converted into a k through eight school rather than close it. now, families have been pushing back ever since the closure plan was announced, but no amount of public pressure is going to change the fact that the alum rock school district has nearly 3000 fewer students than it did about ten years ago, and a $20 million budget deficit. you can cut every program. you can cut as many district positions as possible. you'r
