Charter schools as Public Schools. The difference between the autonomy and the ability to make different kinds of decisions as an operating charter versus the systems that we are trying to build as a district are very different.

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. That doesnt discount the work and efforts that you all put into building the community. I think one of the things that is difficult for me despite my support for some of the really high performing Charter Schools is that when we
