[applause] president kim: >i was hoping to talk about the process. >>

horace mann. sylvia hernandez, melissa anderson, alma merlin, david johnson, gayle eagle. >> there should be more that called in today, too? president kim: amy lee, jose ramos, pricilla ameren. i am going to give one minute each. >> what happened to three minutes? >president kim: i can give 15 minutes to the group total. there are 10 speakers. would you rather have 15 minutes for the group or a minute and a half per person? 15 as a group? great. if you can monitor yourself. you have to press a button. >> good evening. thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with you. i am a member of the san francisco chapter of parent voices, longtime resident of the mission district, and mother of two children, one of whom will be entering the h eighth entering theorace mann -- one of whom will be entering the eighth grade, entering horace mann in the fall. we are concerned with the abrupt decision to share the campus with metro high school. everyone in this room can agree that the key to success is pr

i think who are as mann is a great example. it is one of the most trouble middle schools, and it is going to be fed entirely by east side schools. the parents in those elementary schools may have made the devil's choice when their kids were young to send them to a poor-performing but local elementary school, but under this plan, they are going to lose their choice to send their kids to a better performing middle school that might be further away when their kids are older. this plan takes away choice for families. lastly we talked about the sibling preference. it is going to tear families apart. if i may quickly, there is no spanish immersion program at mann. mann lists them of as having. >> may we have a motion and second for a recommitment of students for military recruitment? >> moved. >> refer it though curriculum committee. >> the board members' report. we already got a report on this. our next report is from the augmented rules policy and legislation committee. commissioner norton? >> yes. we did not consider any legislati

an offer was made to co-locate metro at horace mann. a written offer was made by a district staff representative. metro accepted that offer. we then had what was known as a legally binding offer and acceptance. when we received all the information, that offer had already been received by the district. unfortunately, certain members of the executive team were not necessarily involved in all the conversations and negotiations between the two sides. >> thanks a lot. president kim: i want to keep the court at the meeting. many of us are hearing about this for the first time. we will agendize this. i am not sure win, since this is the last meeting of the school year. >> i am sure we cannot discuss this item, but i think it is appropriate to ask questions we could get answers to, which the board could get and the public could get before the meeting. it should also go on the agenda. however, the questions i would like to have answered -- i would like to know if there has been some change to the prop 39 process within the district, because in p
