From that point on it was a complete roller coaster. As you know we entered the initial downturn and the number of appeals went from 1000 to less than 2000 year at the assessment appeal board one by dan to ran up to 5000 appeals in 21 201011 could swipe witnessed the actions of the board and don durrant and the Assessors Office under phil tang and no carmen chu and chief appraiser matt thomas as well as the board and the additional board three to accommodate the dominantly homeowners in the evening with their appeals and all of us about to make dramatic changes in how we became more efficient, more knowledgeable andcapable particularly at the Assessors Office coming before the board.

Unacceptable. My parents went to the Placement Center down the hall three times to ask if theres any other option. The response they got was go to private school. What if i cant afford to go to private school. The conclusion i came to is that i would have to drop out of school. Im currently enrolled in holy name catholic school. This cost 7,000 a year. The School District made a mistake of not signing me to a school i couldnt get to. Over 500 students were in the wait school when it dissolved. Its 311 2000000. Is it a mist substantially when you want people in charge of you making. Thank you. Hi. When we applied to school for my son, it would required me to commute more than an hour with my son. The fact that San Francisco unified thinks this is an acceptable solution shows out of touch they are. The district insist that the only middle school is with space.
