Torques the majority of the staff here, im reaping that sometimes. But again, i have an investment to give the kids, what was given to me. As a former beacon student, i had many, many different Staff Members continue to invest their time in me, treat me like a little brother and even like a cousin. However they wanted to do me, but though, sometimes i was being rude, sometimes i was an obnoxious student, they still loved on me. And i decided that, ok, i have to go ahead and give back. I never thought i would be in this position im in now, but im honored to give them what was given to me. To hear were going to be receiving 377 million over the next five years, to invest in our children, the youth and their families . It literally touches my heart. Because now i know for a fact that San Francisco is definitely invested in our young people. And want to see them grow. Its a beautiful into beautiful young adult. So again, i would love to give honor to everyone else in the rightful places an
Design. One thing that occurs to me, a benefit from it, the course of implementing a bond various adjustments are made and as those adjustments are made, did that divert from what people expected was going to happen. So you end up saying well, you guys made a bunch of changes and suddenly were in this park over here instead of this one over there and did you go back and let people know thats what was going to happen.

Its hard for the fire engines to get out of there. So theres always a question about is this where you really want to do more on the fire station or do you want it to be moved off of the pier

I see many examples across the city of where schools are really working much harder to do that. A lot of what i focus on the last four years has been helping both leaders who may not be from here but actually have good intentions figure out ways they can bridge more effectively within their community. Walter you have been a critic a times mr. Perry at times. Walter you always have Something Interesting to say. You are critical of two things. One, the expulsion policy which is if you are in one of these types of schools, you have an incentive to expel the back kids so that your scores go up and you dont the deal with it.
