there are only five public schools in sfusd. they serve a fifth of the percentage of low income students and third of percentage of english language. if what they are asking for it would cap at 33%, one of the most affluent schools in the city. the impact on the students that is new school is not serving. there is another beautiful school community last board meeting mlk facing $300,000 in budget cuts related to enrollment. the board was able to restore that. each class of 60 students if new school were to expand to middle school would take $600,000 of enrollment related funds out of the middle school pool. the board estimates there is a 3 to $4 million impact from the new school in san francisco. there is also prop 39 impact. they are taking space away from sku students. what i heard tonight are similar to what i heard in the public schools. if it is a middle school, the new cool would be a majority white middle school. the only one existing is charter school. the rest of the public schools have 25% white families. thank you. >

we are willing to say, this is a sfusd approved charter school. i am encouraging you to vote your conscience. i am also saying, we do not have enough data on the k-5 kids to say whether they are doing as well or better, because they are not serving the same kids. the information we have been provided, i know our district actually looks at kids with the social economic status, and race, and and we have produced high-tech reports we are able to track kids that are similar. not just a black kid, it is a black kid that speaks spanish from a low income household. we can track those kids across our district and make comparisons between schools. we are not seeing any of that information in this charter petition. we do not have the information for a k-5 to say they are doing any better or any worse. we do not have the information. we are not comparing apples to oranges, we are comparing apples to mangoes. as i a totally different thing, or like a piece of steak. it's a very different thing. i'm just urging you -- we do not have to prove this charter, and

it ignores sfusd's values of prioritizing student needs. we've incorporated all of these amazing systems, and i just want you to know our students really rely on. everything we do is student centered and student focused. we are reflective about the work we do. i feel frustrated that our communities going through this, even if there was somewhere along the way a misunderstanding. i feel stressed that our students are scared that their instability will be gone. i feel stressed that our students are here, on a tuesday night, wednesday night, fighting. i feel overwhelmed that i am a second year teacher of color, i'm spending my time at this board meeting fighting for our community, instead of curriculum planning for my students. i urge you to show our students that organizing has an impact, by keeping our community. i urge you to validate our students and feelings by keeping our community funds. i urge you to demonstrate to our students that they matter. ultimately, we are here for them. thank you.

five years ago, sfusd denied our k-12 predicts addition that we would be unable to carry out that specific plan. at the state level, unanimously approved -- i would like to share testimony from that hearing on march 12, 2015 which is available online. i do this only to clarify that our vision and intent both then and now were the same. at that meeting after acknowledging positive recommendations from the staff, bruce holloway stated,. [reading notes] >> my name is jamie roberts, speaking on behalf of the san francisco families union. i would like to speak to the new school families and staff, as much as to the board. partly because charter lawn san francisco gives our board very little oversight, very little control about which charter schools we approve. that is evident by them and spoken not to be here. it is a comment on the families and educators to recognize the impact that your expansion will have in our district. we heard tonight, from middle school students, who are facing potential cuts at their school site because they're losing enrollment. your expansion to the middle school, es

i think that you probably should share some of your data with sfusd because their policy on how kids are assigned to schools actually makes huge impact on the morning traffic. it is estimated that 25% of the morning commute traffic is actually parents taking kids to school. the san francisco unified school district actually serves two thirds of the school age children in san francisco, so i think the roots were kids is assigned is essential, and also, i just wanted to mention that it would be better to coordinate with munimobile and sfusd because i think that can be perfected so more some more people are taking other transportation. >> thank you. >> commissioner mar? >> thank you. thank you for the presentation. it is really informative and exciting to see this program and the plans to enhance the program ahead. i just wanted to say, my daughter is entering high school in the fall, so i really understand firsthand the challenges that parents face in getting our kids to school and, you know, i must confess that throughout, after eighth grade or middle school, you know, either myself o
