Their unique challenges. Two challenges that come up again and again they receive less money than traditional schools and limited access to affordable quality facilities. Theyre Public School students and observe equitable access to facilities and theyre required to provide the facilities equal to other schools. Historical sfusd has offered fair rates on to schools with facilities and allowing them to have a healthy balance between these issues. This proposal in front of you today however would result in a 181 increase in facilities cost for Charter Schools in just two years. These increase expenses will have an significant and detrimental impact on all Charter Schools and facilities. For example a school with a 20,000 square foot facility would experience this much of a increase for expenses. Schools would need to divert funds that are used for teachers and books and learning materials. The proposed increase to 2. 79 would further widen the gap between traditional Public Schools and C
Part of town that sets a lot of sunshine and typically the size of a roof that works for a about a 500,000 installation. The advantage of these installations is that they install it for free. They maintain it for 25 years and we get the power in the school at exactly the same rate we would pay if it came across a wire from hetch hetchy, so its sort of the universal winwin of going green. Now, on the flip side were also doing some of our own installations so were trying both. We have just finished the first one that they did for us at el dorado and the puc subcontracted the work out to their solar provider commissioner. The project was done complete on time and on schedule with the group and in fact the grand opening of the installation, and i think commissioner wynns was due to be one of the keynote speakers happened to fall on the day of the connecticut tragedy and it was canceled so that is still to happen so i cant speak to the particulars commissioner. Can i get you the information

Modernization and need a new roof and target certain places in the city and high profile. So far so good and as with all things we need to stay on top of it. Yes thank you. So i agree that its a really good deal. Its great. We have a Great Partnership with the puc. I think my question is how are we addressing the confusion who will do the work and do we know in terms of the contract who is actually installing the solar panels . Actual name our contract is with the San Francisco puc so they have taken on the contract. They have taken on the liability and they have taken on the job of providing the contractor and getting their bond and insuring that work is done on time. We monitor that what we get works for us, can be intaughted on the building the way it should be and force them to go to the architect and get it approved. We can get you that information but i personally dont have it at hand. Thank you. Roll call please. On 10, 11, 12. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Aye. Thank you and ms. Nor
