And sharing with us tonight are i nodded that was a late meeting and moved outside but you expressed our gratitude were not able to speak we thank you for your patience with us i wanted to because of a lot of the questions and things weve heard and heard leading up to tonight have lead to concerns about both how this program will operate and perhaps what some of the consequences abowill be how students awill react and effect the culture of the middle school i wonder if you might lay out how this in practice we are talking about the misinformation but perhaps specifically because this is the one with Public Meeting were having and talking about the need for more transparency and openness how we communicate if you could explain how this program will operate in practice and why were deciding to step up to the middle school i know were talking about the resear research but not all have that in front of them lay that out and how to address the concerns that were raised around if there were
Time into what looks like a private system with public money so i appreciate the work youve done but not going to be supporting this proposal. Commissioner maufas. Thank you president fewer i appreciate my colleagues comments i in my familiarity with gateway watching the ebb and flow with the San Francisco Unified School District structure i see it to be fluid thats been my experience i know many of the students that have come and gone to gateway i dont hear their families or students themselves saying you know that i feel different about gateway than other sfusd schools your apart of this School System thats the most important thing for me that families see you as an option as sfusd and they can select this school or another school and try to get into gateway since those first names are not expressing themselves and again gateway is one of the choices their famsz has collected on the other hand, slenthd one of many they go to gateway or other schools theyve selected none of them claim
Interesting you think that choice should be about choosing i believe that, too thats why we supported the High School Admission based choice with the priorities for people however, so i and i even though i didnt support the charter when it was granted the argument that were made by the colleagues they were interested in providing more choices for our families and so i find it ironic that now were saying you know we want to people that are a little bit outside of our system we want to give them more opportunities so and i dont think this is what this was supposed to be about personally im not supportive of the charter system at all i think that consistency it is important the principle that some view the charter system as a choice for students if thats the reason it should be a choice for all students for that reason ill not be supporting it and this is something that has evolved over time into what looks like a private system with public money so i appreciate the work youve done but no
