this is a tough one for me. i did support this petition at the curriculum committee. i felt this was there were some good things happening for kids. i also did not support a petition when the board voted on february 8 because of the deficiencies in the budget. i still continue to see that they want the best for kids. i have got an e-mail from families that believe this is a good program for kids. i was trying to think, i don t remember and the time that i have been on the board that i have seen the staff recommended denying a renewal before this one. it has happened since you have been on the board? [talking over each other] a renewal petition does seem to have a different standard from the staff. it does make me think very seriously when i have recommendation for the nile. denial. i m just sort of talking out loud, i think. i am troubled by some of the budget deficiencies that have identified. i know that we are all facing an absolute terrible budget outlook. this is a v
presentation. is it to clarify those things? did you have any opportunity to have dialogue with edison? as you were making recommendations, it did not sound like that happened. not with edison, certainly. this is the second immediate tim e we ve reviewed their budget. he has certainly been the case that if there was a deficiency identified, where one thing was corrected, it went back and forth. because the petitions are supposed to be complete perfected a, when they come to us, we have not had the back and forth to do that. if we had unlimited time and staff to do that. so the only chance was when a clarification can on the actual verses rounding it out. if i am looking at something like this and looking at an average, it takes away those kind of things. it is not the maximum amount for every individual person. they take into account how many people use their wives health insurance and independent, so what and so forth. this is based on how many people are to the hea

customary is five years for renewal. the next question, was that the provisional question? timeline. it was requested by may 10, only knowing that therir may board meeting was 11 and 12. a fast track to the state board for final decision. this is based on the recommendation of the state charter school division. the final one, i would pass over to legal. it requires a five-year renewal. president mendoza: commissioner maufas and commissioner fewer. commissioner maufas: i don t expect an answer because we are in the process of discussing this. as you can see, we are in the midst of a bit of a struggle with questions and process. because renewal seems inappropriate, it just is. you look like a new entity trying to start off using the same name, but you are doing something different than the previous associations. because this renewal has constrictions, we are restricted by that. the idea of renewing for five years is not something that i would be in favor of. as you are trying
