mr. san der son and he is going to use some of our time to discuss what he found. >> thank you, i'm john san der son, operation's director with the billy transportation which is the broker in san francisco. and we administer the programs including the taxi debit card program. and sorry, basically the evidence that we found consists of a number of patterns that we sao in the transactional record that consists of the transactions that were performed in the taxi cab and mr. murray mentioned a bunch of the data points that are captured in that record. and we noticed a few things and we noticed that there were a number of riders and turned out to be 7 riders when we had done all of the math, who almost exclusively used him and at least three cases there were the riders only ever traveled with him during the period we looked at and they never rode with another cab driver at all. at the same time for the same period, those riders in their travel, never appeared to go home. they only traveled between other places but they never went back to their home address and to us that was very unusual and t

mr. san der son, because i totally believe that we are of that mind, and we have that sort of caviot with these students that fall under this category. >> i would just like to clarify thanksgiving. there is no, we are not denying any students access to the a, to, g curriculum and even if the... so if we, i do think that we should notify students to say, that these are the requirements, and which we do already. and i mean, that we tell the freshman, this is what you are expected and what you need to do and we have meetings with them and we tell them that you are on track and you are not on track and we have been talking about this for years, but certainly this year, quite a lot. and the same thing is true, so i would presume that we are going to say to students, in the situations, that this is what, and these are your requirements for graduation and here is the a, g, requirements and this is what you don't have to do and here is but you have every opportunity to do that so we need to, and i personally, am opposed to us notifying students by saying, this is something that you are not gettin

mr. san der son, i think that this is a good compromise, i have been able to go out and visit with the learning center and i have had a chance to speak to the principals of downtown high school and also wells, and i have been out to log cabin and spoke to them. and also a conversation, a long conversation with the principal at the civic center and i also have a call in to gon sal les who is in charge of the city college. i think that this is recognizing that we did not have a plan of the class of 2015, and the class of 2014, 15, that we could implement it and you are seeing that great, financial crisis that we were under and so we did what we could and now that we have the clean data, and we are so close. and with the teachers and every student. and, i have to come mend the district for getting that close, without having a fiscal plan, without acting on the proposal. i agree that the county, we should modify, and they are in and out, and it is difficult, however, i do at the committee meeting of the whole, i did bring up my interest in implementing some certificate programs and especially at lo
