As difficult as this is just in terms of the support i have provided to kipp over many years, i am not able to such port new school at this time. I just think that we need to continue to provide the support that we have been giving to our students. I it is in a very unique position in terms of ensuring the city provides the support our families reserve and they get through the city services. My commitment lies there.
