In my book right now for the school. Also, it had a positive staff recommendation for renewal as well. This school board, in earlier inkarnation approved the original charter. Do i do want to reiterate there are problems with Charter Schools. Whether you want to phrase it as pushing out students. Students do leave Charter Schools.

That is fu fundamentally different to me. Students in the high school, youre getting an up front view on how your local government work, and i invite you if you dont like the way we make the choices, to also run to be up here. That future is as available to you as it was to me. That was i

I want you to feel you have not aagency for improving schools in your community, for those reasons, i plan to support the staffs recommendation to approve the charter. President Walton Commissioner sanchez, then Vice President mendozamcdonnell. Commissioner sanchez thank you, president. Thank you, Kipp High School college prep. Youre awesome.
