We appreciate you. Thank you so much. [applause] hello. My name is celeste. I go to Martin Luther king middle school. I cant believe you guys are trying to cut the budget. It is not right. Because, you guys, we need the teachers and we cant learn without the teachers. Sorry. All of the kids get squeezed into classrooms without the teachers, in one classroom. But, we need that budget, because we need the field trip, and the school supplies, and the pe equipment, and the food for the kids. I have been helping mlk for a long time, and i like helping the teachers. It is not right to take away the budget from mlk. Thank you. [applause] my name is demarcus gray. I am a seventh Grade Students at Martin Luther king junior middle school. In students announcements, in homeroom, when i first heard they were taking away the school budget, or they may be the first thing i did, i yelled what . In the middle of class.

Good evening everyone. My name is sarah clark. My daughter is in eighth Grade Student at mlk. She is also a product, i graduated from balboa high school. I went away, moved away, and actually the School District is what brought me back from houston. Prior to her transitioning over to mlk, we look into a Charter School. The Charter School did not have the Resources Available to her, that is why we chose mlk. Receiving a letter last night, from the school, indicating that the school was going to be losing 300,000 with the possibility of losing resources. To me, that means that my child, as well as other children are going to be losing precious resources that are afforded to them right now. Those resources could be counselors, could be School Nurses could be somebody to talk to at that school. Those resources will be lost if this funding is misappropriated somewhere else. I am asking you, you can tell by the number of individuals that are here from mlk, and the support that we do have. I
