From YouTube: 05/10/23 Community Input on Rezoning at Santa Fe High
Description
Alachua County Public Schools
A
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
Santa
Fe
High
School
I
am
Lawson
Brown,
the
assistant
principal
for
administration,
here
at
Santa
Fe,
in
the
absence
of
our
principal
Dr
Wright
and
our
other
assistant
principal
for
curriculum,
Mr
Mack
rendak
I
want
to
welcome
you
to
spending
this
evening
with
us
and
sharing
this
opportunity
to
share
your
thoughts
about
the
opportunities
for
Alachua
County.
Now
I'm
going
to
put
it
in
the
hands
of
our
public
information
officer.
Miss
Jackie
Johnson
have
a
wonderful
evening.
B
Thank
you
so
much
and
thank
you
very
much
to
all
of
your
staff.
They've
been
so
hospitable
in
helping
us
get
us
all
set
up.
We
really
appreciate
it.
I
do
want
to
take
a
few
moments
to
introduce
some
of
the
folks
who
are
here
again.
We
are
waiting
on
a
couple
of
people
who
got
caught
up
in
that
accident,
so
we
have
three
of
our
board
members
here:
Dr,
Rockwell
and
Ms.
Certain
could
not
be
here
tonight,
but
we
have
our
school
board
Vice
chair,
Dr,
leonetta
McNeely.
B
We
also
have
our
chief
of
equity,
inclusion
and
Community
engagement
that
is
Dr
Antonique,
Edwards
and
you'll
be
hearing
from
her
in
just
a
moment.
Also
our
director
of
construction
and
planning
that
is
Suzanne
Nguyen.
She
will
also
be
talking
a
little
bit
tonight
before
we
hear
from
you
and
before
we
go
any
further.
I
want
to
turn
things
over
to
Dr
McNeely,
to
make
a
few
comments
really
about.
Why
we're
here
and
why
this
is
happening.
Dr
McNeely
good.
C
Evening,
everyone
and
welcome,
as
you
have
been
shared
with
already
I,
want
to
Echo
Mrs
Johnson,
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
tonight
and
I'm
going
to
keep
my
comments
brief,
because
the
point
of
this
meeting
is
for
us
to
hear
from
you
about
district-wide
rezoning,
it's
something
that
we
haven't
done
in
a
very
long
time.
In
fact,
the
last
time
that
we
did
comprehensive
rezoning
in
our
district
was
in
1983.
C
Wow,
of
course,
A
lot
has
happened
in
the
last
40
years,
with
people
moving
into
and
out
of
and
around
Alachua
County,
but
our
Zone
lines
haven't
kept
up
with
all
the
changes
we
have
done
more
limited
rezoning
in
the
last
40
years,
for
example,
when
a
new
school
has
opened,
we
have
done
this
limited
rezoning,
but
it
hasn't
been
enough.
C
Neither
is
good
for
students,
so
the
board
has
made
the
tough
but
necessary
decision
to
rezone
schools
across
the
district.
Ultimately,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
do
what's
best
for
the
children
in
our
district.
We
don't
know
what
the
new
zones
will
look
like
or
how
many
children
will
be
affected
by
the
rezoning.
That's
because
we
wanted
to
hear
from
parents
and
the
community
before
any
new
maps
or
Zone
lines
are
drawn
already.
C
C
At
this
point,
I'm
going
to
stop
talking
and
let
Mrs
Johnson
share
the
plans
for
tonight,
but
please
know
that
we
are
here
to
listen
and
will
very
carefully
consider
everything
that
you
share.
I
know
I
speak
for
all
of
our
board
members
who
are
here
tonight
and
the
staff
when
I
say
that
we
are
committed
to
doing
the
right
thing
for
all
of
our
students,
Mrs
Johnson.
B
Before
we
start
taking
public
input,
we
are
going
to
have
a
brief
presentation
for
you.
That
includes
current
enrollment
data.
It
includes
a
rezoning
calendar.
It
includes
some
information
about
facility
capacity
at
our
various
facilities
and
then
we'll
begin
hearing
from
you.
So
once
the
presentation
is
over,
I
will
let
you
know
when
it's
time
for
people
who
want
to
address
the
board
to
come
up
and
sort
of
line
up
in
this
area.
Behind
the
the
microphone.
You
will
have
three
minutes
to
share
your
thoughts
with
the
board.
B
We've
got
a
timer
up
here
and
it
will
tell
you
how
much
time
you
have
left
when
you
get
up
to
speak
when
your
time
is
up
or
when
you
finish
speaking,
Dr
McNeely
will
then
ask
the
next
person
to
come
up
and
speak.
If
you
have
input
that
you
would
like
to
share,
but
you
don't
want
to
come
up
to
the
microphone.
That's
absolutely
fine.
We
have
QR
codes,
we
are
recording
this
meeting
and
we
will
be
posting
it
on
our
rezoning
website,
which
is
SBA
ic.edu
rezoning.
B
You
will
also
be
able
to
find
the
presentation
here.
You
will
also
be
able
to
find
the
frequently
asked
questions
and
when
we
do
have
proposed
Maps
proposed
Zone
lines.
Those
will
also
go
on
that
same
website
once
last
point
I
do
want
to
make.
As
Dr
McNeely
said,
no
new
maps
have
been
drawn.
No
not
even
proposed
Maps
there
is,
is
nothing
that
has
been
drawn
at
this
point.
B
The
point
was
to
hear
from
the
Community
First,
and
this
is
the
fifth
Community
input
session
we've
had
in
the
last
I'd
say
about
four
or
five
weeks
over
the
summer
will
be
the
process
for
starting
to
draw
those
plans.
So
what
you
are
going
to
see
tonight
and
what
what
is
in
the
packet
that
you
all
would
have
gotten
those
are
current
numbers.
Those
are
current
enrollment
numbers
and
those
are
current
capacity
numbers.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
part
is
really
clear
that
this
is
what
we
have
currently.
B
D
Yes,
yes,
good
evening,
everyone
all
right,
you're,
wonderful,
I'm,
Dr,
Edwards
and,
as
Jackie
has
said,
as
Dr
McNeely
has
said,
it's
so
important
for
us
to
be
able
to
hear
from
you
as
the
community
as
we
move
forward
in
this
process.
D
One
of
the
areas
that
falls
under
my
umbrella
is
the
zoning
department
or
the
office
of
student
assignment,
and
so
we're
here
today
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
why
we
want
to
rezone.
First
and
foremost
the
last
rezoning
is
Dr
Neely
had
shared
was
literally
40
years
ago
in
1983..
So
it's
really
important
for
us
to
look
at
what
changes
have
taken
place
across
time
in
the
last
four
decades.
D
We
know
that
we
have
changes
affecting
attendance
since
then
to
include
population
growth,
new
developments
that
have
happened
within
the
community
migration
within
our
County
school
choice
options
when
we
start
looking
at
the
differences
between
our
magnets,
our
Charters,
our
voucher
programs.
All
of
those
programs
and
opportunities
that
exist
within
within
our
County
are
really
important
as
they
impact
what
happens
in
our
Public
School
sector.
Also
20
of
our
36
schools
are
what
we
would
deem
to
be
overcrowded
at
90
percent
or
more
of
the
seats
being
filled
at
those
schools.
D
So
it's
really
important
that
we
look
at
that.
4
800
seats
are
empty,
district-wide
and
so
I
know
that
I
saw
a
couple
of
faces
here
that
we've
seen
at
previous
meetings,
and
so
you
may
note
that
that
number
is
different
than
what
we
share.
Third
and
our
first
one
or
two
meetings
and
Miss
Winn
was
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
as
well.
Just
so
that
we
make
sure
that
everyone
is
clear
on
what
the
differences
are
in
the
information
that
we've
communicated
facilities
and
operating
funds.
D
We
want
to
ensure
that
they're
being
used
effectively
throughout
the
district,
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
we
are
focusing
on
operating
funds
being
used
effectively
throughout
the
district
right
and
so
that
we
can
focus
on
our
teaching
and
learning.
And
so
the
question
has
arisen
on
many
occasions.
Why
not
build
more
schools?
If
we
have
overcrowding,
can't
you
guys
just
build
a
new
school
where
the
crowding
takes
place
in
the
process
of
building
a
new
school.
Millions
of
dollars
goes
into
that
process,
and
so
it
is
really
expensive
facilities.
D
Funding
for
us
is
very
limited,
and
so
we
have
to
take
that
into
consideration.
There
are
also
some
limitations
that
are
set
forth
by
our
state
that
we
have
to
bring
into
consideration
the
strain
of
our
course
facilities
and
lack
of
space
with
the
infrastructure.
All
of
these
factors
have
to
come
into
account
when
we're
making
considerations
and
how
we
move
forward.
E
Good
evening,
everyone
I'm
excited
that
you're
all
here
we're
looking
forward
to
hearing
from
you.
One
of
our
main
goals
is
to
provide
high
quality
learning
experiences,
so
I'm
going
to
be
sharing
some
of
our
existing
conditions
in
our
district
as
we
go
forward
with
rezoning
at
this
time,
I'd
like
to
explain
the
change
from
the
5400
vacant
seats
district-wide
to
the
4800
bacon,
seeds
district-wide.
That
was
my
mistake.
E
E
This
chart
represents
the
utilization
of
our
schools,
and
this
first
slide
is
for
our
elementary
schools
I'm
going
to
follow
up
these
charts
with
maps
that
reflect
these
colors
as
well
and
percentages.
This
is
the
percent
utilization
that
we
have
at
our
schools.
Anything
ninety
percent
or
above
is
represented
in
red,
yellow,
is
85
to
90
percent
utilization
and
anything
below
85
is
represented
by
Green
utilization
is
basically
our
enrollment,
divided
by
our
school's
core
core
capacity,
our
permanent
capacity,
not
including
Portables.
E
When
we
have
Portables
at
schools
and
we
have
overcrowded
core
facilities,
we
create
situations
where
we
have
our
children
eating
lunch,
starting
at
9
30.
In
the
morning
we
have
a
difficult
time
finding
space
for
all
of
our
staff
to
be
an
Administration
to
be
to
have
a
home.
Basically,
media
centers
are
overcrowded
hallways
for
middle
and
high
schools
can
be
very
crowded.
Things
like
that.
So
that's
something
that
we
care
about,
or
the
quality
learning
experiences
for
our
children.
E
E
Some
of
our
schools
are
combination
schools,
so
they
are
included
on
one
chart
and
not
the
other,
so
we've
included
Oakview
and
the
Middle
School,
even
though
they
house
fifth
grade,
and
so
we
have
the
same
information
for
Middle
School.
We
have
1
355,
empty
seats,
district-wide
for
our
middle
schools
and
we
have
the
information
for
our
high
schools.
E
That's
940,
empty
seats,
district-wide
for
our
high
schools,
even
though
these
centers
House
special
student
populations,
there's
not
a
specific
zoned
area
attending
these
schools.
We
we
included
these
this
information
as
well.
So
these
are
the
maps
that
I
was
describing
earlier.
That
show
you
basically
geographically
our
utilization
district-wide.
For
the
most
part,
we
have
our
overcrowding
situation
in
the
western
part
of
our
County
and
the
eastern
part
of
our
County.
We,
as
well
as
our
newer
schools,
our
older
schools
and
under
enrolled
schools,
are
typically
more
in
the
eastern
part
of
our
County.
E
And
for
high
school,
so
this
next
set
of
maps
is
showing
you
that
we
have
captured
all
of
our
data
for
our
students
where
they
live
where
they
go
to
school.
You
know
that
that
information
has
been
gathered
on
these
tables
we've,
provided
you
the
information
of
the
total
number
of
students
that
are
zoned
to
that
area,
as
well
as
the
students
that
are
attending
and
to
use
an
example
for
Oakview
Middle
School
on
these
Maps,
we
have
divided
the
numbers.
E
The
number
of
fifth
graders
that
are
attending
Oakview
middle
school
is
on
the
elementary
school
map,
and
that
number
is
133
of
the
974
students
that
are
zoned
to
that
school
and
the
remainder
of
the
students
are
located
on
are
identified
on
the
Middle
School
map.
So
that's
what
we've
done
when
we
have
a
combination,
School
each
student's
address
is
represented
by
a
DOT,
and
this
is
a
very,
very
large
scale,
but
you
can
see
you
know
where
the
clusters
of
our
students
live.
This
next
set
of
maps
are
our
active
development
reviews.
E
These
are
developments
that
are
currently
under
construction
or
projected
to
be
built
out
within
the
next
three
years.
We
work
together,
cooperatively,
with
Alachua
County
and
all
of
our
cities
to
gather
this
data,
and
basically,
every
couple
years
we
have
reevaluate
our
student
generation
multipliers
to
come
up
with
a
prediction
of
how
many
students,
those
developments,
single
family
or
multi
multi-family,
will
generate
so
this
information
has
been
captured
and
has
been
updated
and
is
continually
updated,
and
this
will
be
included
and
captured
in
our
rezoning
process.
E
So
this
is
the
same
information.
The
development,
geographic
location
of
the
developments
don't
change.
The
number
of
students
generated
will,
depending
on
whether
they're
elementary
middle
or
High
School,
the
location
doesn't
change.
This
is
just
showing
the
same
information,
the
same
development
location
with
the
middle
and
the
high
school
zones,
and
then
this
information
that
shows
the
number
of
students
that
we're
expecting
to
be
generated
combined
onto
one
slide
there
from
each
of
the
three
maps
that
you
just
saw.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Just
a
quick
run
through
of
the
calendar
for
the
rezoning
process,
as
you
can
see,
we've
had
four
Community
input
sessions
so
far.
This
is
our
fifth
and
then
we
move
into
the
next
portion.
As
you
can
see,
on
August
16th,
the
plan
is
for
proposed
and
again
I
stress,
proposed
maps
and
Zone
lines
to
be
presented
to
the
school
board
and
to
the
community
on
August,
16th
and
basically
the
next
morning.
We
will
post
all
of
that
information
on
that
rezoning
website.
Then
what
happens?
B
Is
we
have
another
series
of
community
input
sessions
between
August,
16th
and
October
17th,
where
the
difference
is
we
present
to
you
what
the
maps
look
like?
What
the
proposed
Maps
look
like
and
get
your
input
on
those
proposed
Maps
September
19th,
the
process
of
adopting
any
new
lines
begins.
But
again,
even
during
that
process,
changes
can
happen.
Those
plans
can
be
tweaked,
so
that
starts
with
a
regular
board
meeting
on
September
19th.
It's
what
we
call
the
first
reading
October
17th
is
a
public
hearing.
B
The
sole
purpose
of
that
meeting
is
to
get
public
input
on
what
has
been
proposed
and
then
the
goal
is
for
the
board
to
approve
a
new
plan
on
November
7th.
But
again
these
Maps
do
not
take
effect
until
the
2024-25
school
year.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
at
this
point
before
we
start
turning
it
over
for
public
input?
B
F
On
High
Springs
Community
School,
a
couple
of
slides
back,
they
were
included
in
both
the
middle
school
and
Elementary
School.
It
says
in
the
middle
school,
though
concurrency
that
says
it's
k
through
eight
shouldn't
that
read
like
five
through
eight
or
six
through
eight
for
that
for
those
expected
seats
and
then
the
other
one
should
read
K
through
five
or
k-4,
because
it's
being
counted
again
twice,
but
it's
different
numbers,
but
you
didn't
specify
which
grades
you're,
counting
for
which
seats.
F
E
Six
I
apologize
for
the
confusion.
The
High
Springs
Community
School,
as
you're
indicating
is
k
through
eight,
the
numbers
that
are
reflected
there
are
the
elementary
students
in
that
first
chart
that
are
projected
to
be
generated
from
new
development,
so
that
would
be
K
through
five
elementary
students
and
the
middle
school
students
that
are
projected
from
the
new
development
grades.
Six
through
eight
or
twelve
students.
G
E
F
E
Two
different
categories
of
development
there's
planned
unit
developments
that
can
happen
over
a
period
of
20
years,
which
is
what
you're
referring
to
and
then
there's
active
development.
Active
development
is
something
that's
in
construction
now
or
projected
to
be
completed
within
the
next
three
years.
E
This
is
for
active
development
only
because
one
thing
I
think
that
is
confusing
about
planned
unit
developments
that
build
out
over
20
years
folks
tend
to
think
that
all
of
the
students
that
are
projected
from
that
large
development
are
all
coming
at
once
when
in
actuality
we
have
students
migrating
out
of
the
school
and
into
the
school,
and
that's
a
development,
that's
built
out
in
phases.
Does
that
make
sense?
Yes,
yes,
all
right!
Thank
you,
you're
welcome.
Thank
you
for
your
question.
B
All
right,
so
at
this
point
we
are
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
Anybody
who
would
like
to
speak
to
the
board
if
you
would
come
on
up
and
just
line
up
and
you
can
get
behind
the
microphone
and
again
you'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak.
It
always
takes
one
brave
soul
to
get
it
started.
H
My
name
is
Ryan
green.
My
kids
go
to
High,
Springs
I,
guess
a
couple
things
is.
Like
the
other
lady
just
said,
we
got
like
2
000
homes
coming
in
High,
Springs
already
being
planned.
It
won't
take
them
20
years
to
do
it.
I
live
close
to
where
DR
Horton,
just
built
and
I,
think
they
did
500
units
over
there
in
like
four
years
so
anyways
they'll
build
them
quickly.
So
I
guess
my
problem
would
be
with
rezoning.
H
Is
it's
going
to
be
a
short-term
fix
for
a
long-term
problem,
so
rezone
and
then
the
resources
for
bussing
kids
here
and
there
I
know?
We've
had
a
Financial
stress
on
on
that
as
well.
I
think,
a
couple
years
ago,
the
community,
the
commuting
the
children
around
and
the
bus
drivers
and
all
that
had
been
a
major
issue.
H
So
then
the
other
point
would
be
if
I've
got
kids
that
are
multiple
wages,
which
I
do.
The
reason
why
we
live
in
High
Springs
is
because
you
have
an
elementary
and
a
middle
school
connected,
and
so
they
can
go
home
together.
They
can
they're
at
the
same
school.
They
get
out
by
the
same
time,
so
it's
very
convenient
for
us.
H
We
do
have
a
house
in
Alachua
that
we
chose
to
to
leave
to
go
to
High
Springs,
just
because
it
was
more
convenient
for
us
as
parents,
so
the
other
thing
that
I
would
also
raise-
and
there's
probably
others
out
here.
High
Springs
specifically,
is
a
really
good
school,
with
really
good
teachers
and
I.
Don't
I
can't
speak
for
the
other,
the
other
schools,
but
that
would
be
a
major
issue.
I
would
feel
like
for,
for
anybody
going
to
those
schools
or
having
to
be
told
okay
you're
going
to
go
here.
H
The
Mebane
has
43
capacity
right
now,
which
they're
going
to
get
in.
You
know
a
higher
volume
over
a
very
quick
time,
so
they're
not
going
to
be
used
to
having
all
these
new
kids
in
and
stuff.
So
that
would
be
something
that
I
would
I
would
think
you
would
want
to
also
think
about
as
far
as
facilitating
more
children.
So
the
the
other
I
guess
issue
is
that
this
has
been
something
that
you
know.
H
C
I
Thank
you
board
George,
Marlow,
I
appreciate
I
was
going
to
let
everybody
else
go
first,
but
everybody's
a
little
shy
tonight.
So
we'll
help
get
it
started.
I,
don't
really
have
anything
new
to
say,
except
that
I
would
encourage
you
guys,
you're
doing
a
great
job
listening
to
the
community
and
moving
around
I.
I
Think
that,
as
you
get
closer
to
that
date,
where
you
have
some
proposed
Maps,
it
might
be
worthwhile
to
meet
with
Municipal
municipalities
and
those
boards
and
Joint
meetings,
because
I
think
that
we're
missing
some
opportunities
to
partner
together
I
think
that
there
are
some
things
that
the
municipalities
that
might
be
able
to
bring
to
the
table.
I,
don't
know
what
those
are
I'm.
I
You
know
we
have
a
a
Tallahassee
legislature
that
that
is
very
much
about
property
rights
and
I'm,
a
property
rights
guy
myself.
But
that
does
mean
that
when
people
come
to
us,
if
they
have
a
right
to
build,
it's
really
hard
to
to
deny
them
that
right
to
build.
So
we
are
going
to
have
to
look
at
some
new
structures
and
I
still
I
hope
that
Newberry
Elementary
School.
We
can
go
back
to
that
half
cent
sales
tax
and
see
how
we
prioritize
those
and
I
hope
that
we
can
get
Newberry.
I
Elementary
School
moved
up
that
line
because
they
are
the
most
overcapacity
of
any
school
and
they
need
the
most
relief
they
need
it
now,
not
in
2030,
so
I'll
end
there
I
don't
know
if
I
got
one
minute,
but
I'm
not
gonna,
hear
to
use
the
whole
time.
Hopefully,
I
got
somebody
else
with
some
gumption
to
come
on
up
here
now.
Thank.
K
Hi
I'm
Christina
Arvin,
my
kids,
all
three
of
them
go
to
High
Springs
have
been
graduated
through
to
High
Springs
I
myself
went
to
high
Springs
in
1983.,
which
was
I
guess
the
last
rezoning
like
Mr
Green,
stated
this
rezoning
moving
from
here
to
there
switching
it's
just
not
going
to
work
like
they
said.
Houses
can
be
built
fast.
There's
companies
coming
in
there's
stores,
there's
restaurants,
everything
it's
growing.
We
have
to
grow
with
it.
K
So
in
order
to
do
that,
we
need
to
build
a
new
school
I'm,
not
sure
where
there's
plenty
of
trees
and
acres
and
land
along
the
way
I
don't
know
why
it
can't
be
purchased.
I
know
limited
funding
was
mentioned,
but
if
it's
been
40
years,
my
question
is
where's
the
40
Years
of
taxes,
because
Alachua
County
taxes
is
extremely
high.
I
pay
quite
a
bit
there
and
it's
extremely
high.
So
where
are
the
tax
dollars
going?
K
Teachers
don't
get
paid
enough
in
my
opinion,
so
I'm
not
sure
where
the
funding
for
building
has
went
that
High
Springs
Community
School,
that
used
to
be
High,
Springs,
Elementary
and
high
Springs
Middle
School,
we've
gotten
Portables.
It's
probably
the
same
air
condition,
it's
probably
the
same,
there's
so
much
that
has
not
been
put
into
that
school.
So
my
question
is
the
funding
where's,
the
funding,
gone
and
I.
Don't
think
moving
kids
around
from
place
to
place
to
place
is
gonna
fix
things.
K
Part
of
the
reason
High
Springs
I
feel
is
so
successful
is
because
of
the
teachers
that
are
excellent
and
amazing.
The
kids
are
safe
and
secure
there.
They
know
that
they
have
confidence,
they
are
encouraged.
It's
a
great
group
of
teachers
and
I
feel
like
that's.
Why
it's
so
successful
and
on
the
verge
of
being
overcrowded
and
I.
K
I
hope
that
the
shuffling
and
the
rezoning
and
all
can
be
rethought,
figured
out
and
and
not
not
done
in
a
way
to
be
harmful
to
the
students
which
I
know
you
said,
is
your
number
one
priority
to
do
what's
best
for
them,
so
hopefully
everything
can
be
looked
at
and
considered
and
the
best
decision
be
made.
Thank
you
for
your
comments.
L
All
right,
my
name
is
Morgan
Smith
and
I'm,
currently,
a
senior
at
buholz
high
school
and
I'm.
Also
a
four-year
member
of
the
Academy
of
Entrepreneurship,
currently
I
serve
as
our
schools,
our
school
stores,
Spirit
spot
I'm,
the
Chief
Operating
Officer,
which
is
also
run
through
the
academy,
and
the
academy
has
helped
me
find
a
place
where
I
belong
and
has
provided
me
with
a
sense
of
community
when
I
had
not
had
that
in
a
very
long
time.
L
Throughout
my
years
in
the
academy,
it's
clear
that
they
strive
to
improve
school
spirit
and
provide
a
multitude
of
service
opportunities
through
an
organization
called
Deca.
We
compete
in
various
events
and
I've
competed
all
four
years
and
I
can
effectively
say
that
it's
changed
my
life
for
the
better.
There
are
many
different
events,
one
of
those
being
chapter
projects
which
we're
allowed
to
conduct
senior
Year.
My
chapter
project
was
financial
literacy,
where
we
taught
elementary
middle
and
high
school
students,
the
basics
of
important
Financial
topics.
L
We
participated
in
engineer
achievement
at
Rawlings
and
Metcalf,
where
we
formed
special
connection
connections
with
the
children
and
the
academy
is
always
participated
in
Junior
Achievement
and
is
Wonder
opportunity
for
students
to
become
better
at
public
speaking
and
allows
them
to
improve
connections
with
the
community.
Another
project
being
marched
for
mines,
which
is
an
annual
walk
from
mung
to
health
awareness,
along
with
the
food
drive
for
students
at
U-Haul
to
need
this
year
at
ICDC,
our
International
Deca
conference
I
had
underclassmen
approaching
me
about
their
ideas
for
future
chapter
projects,
full
of
optimism
and
ambition.
L
It
would
truly
be
heartbreaking
to
see
my
peers
have
something.
I
was
fortunate
to
be
involved
in
for
all
four
years
of
high
school
strip
from
them
in
the
blink
of
an
eye.
Please
consider
all
of
these
individuals
that
are
involved
with
this
program
and
how
much
of
a
positive
impact
our
Academy
places
on
beholds
and
I
would
not
be
standing
here
today
talking
to
you,
if
I
weren't
for
your
my
wonderful
advisors,
Mr,
Hoffer
and
Mr
Shai,
so
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
C
G
G
Who
are
both
in
Magnum
programs?
I
would
like
to
Echo
the
comments
made
earlier
during
the
previous
sessions
on
the
significant
and
positive
impacts
of
Magnum
programs
on
students,
Active
Learning
engagement
and
achievements,
and
their
contributions
to
diversifying
educational
programs
on
campus
and
creating
vibrant
curriculums,
as
well
as
all
the
teachers,
dedication
and
great
efforts
to
Foster
student
learning,
critical
and
creative
thinking
and
professional
skill
development.
G
Removing
or
distracting
the
current
magnet
programs
will
do
likely
nothing
but
damaging
student
learning
and
teacher
initiatives.
So
just
wish
that
we
could
have
more
diverse,
rigorous
and
enhanced
Magnum
programs
in
more
schools
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
children
and
students.
Well
understand
the
main
reason
for
rezoning
and
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity
for
feedback
on
during
the
decision
making
process.
I
would
really
like
to
encourage
the
school
board
to
consider
carefully
the
core
value
of
quality
education
and
the
future
of
our
school
teacher
student
and
parent
Community.
G
We
all
want
to
see
the
success
of
our
students
and
our
schools,
and
we
all
want
to
reward
our
teachers
for
their
devotion,
passion
and
care
for
our
children
and
their
students.
And
yes,
we
share
the
common
goals
of
providing
better
and
sustainable
learning,
environments
and
resources
for
our
future
Generations.
It
would
be
rather
disappointing
and
disheartening
if
the
rezoning
was
heading
to
a
direction
that
ended
up
being
detrimental
to
Quality
education,
the
spirit
of
our
teachers
and
students
and
the
future
of
our
community.
Thank
you
for
listening
and
thank
you
for
continuing
to
come.
F
Sorry
I
thought
it
was
just
for
questions
earlier,
not
just
commentary.
My
name
is
Sage.
My
daughter,
Goes
To,
High
Springs,
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
point
out,
which
apparently
my
husband
reviewed
the
other
four
meetings.
You
guys
had.
F
No
one
brought
up
the
fact
of
the
reason
why
you're
having
overgrowth
in
the
Western
and
now
the
eastern
part,
and
ultimately
it's
not
necessarily
about
oh
just
growth
in
attendance,
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
really
realize
that
the
reason
you're
having
more
growth
in
the
western
part
is
not
only
are
people
drawn
by.
You
know
what
they
can
afford
for
a
house.
You
know
finances
always
affect
that
they're
moving
into
the
areas
that
are
a
rated
schools.
They
are
not
in
the
schools
that
are
f
rated
schools.
F
When
I
moved
to
this
County
in
2019,
we
picked
High
Springs
because
it
was
an
A
B,
rated
District,
buccal's
being
the
best
Newberry
being
kind
of
tied
with
High,
Springs
and
I
saw
that
the
teachers
were
migrating
North
to
High,
Springs,
so
I
said
I'm
going
to
follow
the
teachers
and
I'm
going
to
move
to
High
Springs
rather
than
Newberry,
and
we
did
not
move
to
Hawthorne
or
anything
on
the
Eastern
side,
because
those
are
horribly
rated
schools.
That
is
why
you
don't
have
people
there.
F
It
might
actually
entice
people
to
move
to
them
to
raise
the
ratings
of
the
schools,
to
do
other
things,
to
get
the
grades
up,
to
invest
in
the
students
and
the
teachers
there
that
might
draw
more
people
to
move
Eastern
into
the
county
because
they
are
moving
West
because
there's
better
educational
opportunities
for
their
children.
That
is
why
it's
happening
and
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
realize
that
and
redrawing
the
lines.
F
Just
because
there's
some
empty
seats
doesn't
fix
the
fact
that
those
F
schools
are
F
schools
and
you're
going
to
have
people
like
me,
and
these
other
parents
who've
got
kids
at
these
great
rated
schools
getting
redistricted
and
redrawn
to
F
schools.
It's
just
going
to
be
dismal.
That's
really
the
big
reason
why
we
are
where
we
are.
They
moved
to
High
Springs
for
the
convenience
of
the
timing
for
picking
their
kids
up
and
like
I
moved
in
order
to
have
my
kid
have
a
great
Educational
Opportunity.
F
We
came
from
South
Florida,
where
there's
actually
quite
a
lot
of
really
good
schools.
We
came
right
from
the
actually,
where
that
Margaret
Stoneman
Douglas
Area,
that
shooting
was.
We
were
living
right
down
the
street
from
that
and
we
moved
right
after
that
happened.
So
we
moved
up
here
because
it's
a
great
area
and
there's
a
lot
of
good
things.
F
You
know
that
are
happening
for
the
schools,
but
if
we're
going
to
re
redraw
the
lines
and
if
we're
inside
the
High
Springs
City
Limits
and
that's
no
guarantee,
we
can
go
to
our
really
good
school
that
we're
districted
for
and
we're
going
to
end
up
being
sent
to
a
school.
That's
not
rated
great.
It's
not
going
to
entice
us
to
stay
so
I
thought
you
guys
might
want
to
think
about
the
fact
that
it's
not
just
the
lines.
It's
not
about
just
empty
seats.
F
Those
seats
are
empty
because
no
one
wants
their
kid
in
an
f
rated
school.
There's
got
to
be
something
you
can
do
to
bring
it
up
and
I
don't
know.
Maybe
you
guys
should
look
back
at
the
old
Miami-Dade
County
things
for
the
way
they
grew,
because
no,
even
though
everyone
denies
it,
every
county
is
growing
the
same
way.
Miami-Dade
County
grew
over
the
last
100
years
and
no
one's
paying
attention
to
those
patterns,
because
that's
what's
repeating
everywhere.

Hello,
my
name
is
far
I
come
here,
the
first
time,
that's
every
time,
so
I
just
express
my
opinion.
So
already
a
lot
of
parents
and
the
kids
talk
about
the
magnet
program
for
the
past
three
times,
I
always
said:
I
appreciate
the
education
board
support
the
magnet
program
in
in
a
larger
County,
and
the
kids
has
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
go
to
the
different
areas
that
their
interests,
such
as
my
my
son
in
the
robotic
program.
They
they
got.
M
M
So
all
this
is
the
worker,
the
education
board,
people,
the
parents
and
the
school
and
and
the
all
the
kids
work
harder
for
those,
and
so
the
point
that
I
I
would
like
to
see
preserve
the
good
magnet
program
in
the
current
schools
like
a
Lincoln,
nice
and
program
and
the
Bill
Hall
and
the
bishop,
and
all
those
good
magnet
programs
and
added
some
some
some
magnet
program
in
the
in
some
schools.
They
need
that
to
increase
the
environmental
rate.
So
that's
my
point.
Thank
you
for
listening.
Thank
you.
N
My
daughter
fortunately,
is
also
a
student
at
High,
Springs,
Community,
school
and
I
just
wanted
to
tag
off
of
what
I
think
her
name
was
Sage,
so
I
actually
grew
up
here.
I
went
to
Hidden
Oak
Fort
Clark
in
B,
Holtz
and
graduated
and
went
to
the
university
I'm
very
thankful
to
be
in
Alachua
County
student.
However,
I
agree
with
her
I
know
all
those
schools
that
are
under
utilized
or
because
they
are
poor
rated
schools.
N
They
have
been
since
I
was
the
early
80s
and
even
before
that,
and
so
I
feel
that
we
don't
want
our
kids
to
have
to
be
shipped
to
schools
that
are
not
A
and
B
rated
schools.
So
I'd
really
ask
you
guys
to
look
hard
at
the
rating
of
these
schools
that
are
underutilized
and
the
schools
that
are
over
utilized
in
their
rating
prior
to
making
those
decisions
for
these
students,
because
I
feel
it'll
be
detrimental
to
their
education
and
also
some
mental
health.
N
O
O
O
If
you
move
my
kids
that
I've
moved
all
the
way
from
South
Africa
to
a
good
school
into
a
school
with
NC,
already
grading
like
sage
and
the
other
lady
said
those
schools
are
empty
for
a
reason
and
the
reason
is
not
because
everyone
is
just
migrating
waste
for
the
for
the
good
of
it.
They
are
migrating
to
get
to
the
schools
that
has
a
better
education
system,
better
teachers
and
where
we
get
the
best
cohesive
environment
between
the
teachers
and
the
parents.
So
your
problem
is
not
in
just
rezoning
everything.
It's
going.
O
It's
going
to
fix
the
problem,
that's
not
going
to
fix
the
problem.
You
need
to
work
on
the
teachers
in
those
schools
when
we
moved
to
High
Springs.
We
specifically
looked
at
where
the
rezoning
map
or
the
zoning
map
is
for
mabane,
because
we
were
very
adamant
that
our
kids
would
not
go
to
that
school
because
it
has
a
lower
grading.
O
So
then
we
also
you
talk
about
rezoning.
I
want
to
find
out
from
you
guys.
How
is
this
going
to
affect
magnet
programs?
Because
there
have
been
some
buzzing
going
around
that
you
try
to
sort
of
get
rid
of
some
of
these
magnet
programs,
which
I
don't
really
understand,
but
will
the
magnet
programs
be
affected
by
the
rezoning,
because
I
mean
some
places
like
the
reach
program
in
Fort?
Clarke
is
specifically
just
for
kids,
that
is
within
the
fourth
clock
zones
at
this
stage.
O
O
Maybe
a
better
idea
to
say
from
2024,
if
you
have
done
the
rezoning
lick,
the
sixth
graders
The
Kindergartners
and
the
freshmen
start
to
go
to
the
new
schools
and
let
the
other
kids
that's
already
in
those
schools
where
they
are
at
that
stage
not
be
moved
out
into
what
should
have
been
the
new
Zoo
Zone
school.
So
that
way
you
don't
get
an
upheaval
in
the
academic
structure
and
they
can
actually
finish
out
the
school
years
with
their
friends.
C
P
This
is
David,
you
guys
possibly
recognized
me
I
attend
all
the
sections
just
to
follow
the
the
questions
you
see.
The
beautiful
students
do
come
here,
talk
about
it.
I
already
told
you
two
times.
What's
the
reason,
all
the
reasons
due
to
that
Workshop
I
think
you
guys
I'll
show
your
opinions,
it's
not
a
rumors!
It's
because
you
know
the
workshop
is
open
to
people.
So
I
talk,
specific
I
talk
with
the
Tina
I
said
about.
Maybe
you
guys
should
make
a
public
statement
regarding
showing
your
support
about
magnet
program.
P
Otherwise,
you
see
every
sections
people
still
come
here
for
it.
Yeah
I
basically
want
to
just
I
think
a
couple.
Parents
really
make
good
points.
It's
like
okay,
for
we
do
resuming
what's
the
purpose.
What's
the
purpose,
it's
really
not
a
simple
draw.
Every
parent
here
really
care
about
like
how
does
this
resume
can
give
our
high
quality
education,
so
the
parents
already
showed
that
and
also
we
also
realized.
P
This
rezoning
is
very
complicated
situations,
but
just
you
know
from
that
magnet
from
a
workshop
and
also
recently
regarding
for
that
one
I
appreciate
all
three
of
you
made
a
wise
decisions
that
keep
Miss
Andrews
as
the
superintendent.
For
for
me,
I
really
don't
know
why
you
guys
put
that
on
the
agenda
like
you,
you
want
to
do
the
resuming
without
superintendent
a
codified,
a
superintendent.
That's
for
me
is
really
hard
to
believe
like
how
we
actually
run
this
process
now.
P
P
Okay,
I,
don't
I
have
time
limit,
so
I
don't
want
to
talk
details
but
I
appreciate
that
I
see
but
I.
Think
that's
not
enough.
The
behavior
issue
is
really
a
challenge.
So
far
we
definitely
see
due
to
pandemic,
but
I
can
give
you
a
couple
examples.
What
happened
to
Lincoln
Second
One
Transportation?
Okay,
we
are
shorter
drivers,
but
the
more
important
we
are
30
percent
short
of
teachers.
P
All
right.
You
know
there
are
schools,
the
student
has
the
sub
for
the
whole
year.
Okay,
so
same
point,
the
resulting
is
not
just
simply
draw
a
line.
It's
if
we
want
a
high
quality
educations,
how
we
actually
to
improve
that
that
can
make
the
the
reasoning
really
reach
to
our
goal.
I
think
the
Border
really
need
to
think
about
that.
I.
Basically,
just
give
us
two
examples
to
want
to
follow
following
work
like
how
we
actually
seriously
efficiently
yeah,
but
thank
you
for
listening.
Thank
you.
C
Q
Q
and
the
school
I
went
to
no
longer
exists
and
when
I
decided
to
build
a
new
high
school,
the
same
thing
was
talked
about
about
having
the
money
to
do
so.
It's
called
a
school
bond
referendum,
that's
how
money
is
raised
in
order
to
build
facilities
and
new
schools
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
I
never
heard
that
talked
about
any
of
any
meetings.
Q
All
right,
I
hear
anything
about
the
budget
and
stuff
like
that
about
school
bond
referendums,
that's
how
you
earn
and
raise
money
to
build
schools
and
facilities,
and,
like
my
wife
just
said,
you
know,
you're
not
building
schools
out
there
in
every
schools
and
you
like
say
the
same
reason
they're
moving
out
here.
My
stepdaughter
has
an
IEP
and
he
and
finally
the
IEP
is
working
and
her
Dell
on
grades
are
coming
up
and
she's
getting
a
better
education.
Q
You
go
rezoning
and
send
her
off
to
Adele
on
every
school
you're
going
to
set
her
education
back
tremendously,
and
it's
just
because
you
want
to
rezone.
So
you
need
to
really
consider
more
about
vamping
up
the
dull
in
schools
that
have
higher
ratings,
and
you
know
and
use
the
school
bond
representative
referendum,
make
money
and
get
money
to
add
to
those
facilities
and
get
the
right
teachers
and
that
sort
of
stuff,
or
do
something
about
the
afraid
of
schools.
Q
You
know
that's
where
your
problem
is
and
you're
going
to
hear
that
you've
heard
that
from
all
these
people,
who
don't
want
their
kids
going
to
that
free
at
school,
because
you
guys
aren't
doing
anything
to
do
anything
about
those
schools.
And
now
you
are
redone
the
lines
and
send
students
that
have
an
IEP
or
whatever
to
an
effort
at
school.
Q
J
J
J
Sorry
I'm
so
aggravated
because
you
sit
here
and
you
guys
have
done
nothing,
nothing
in
the
years
you've
been
in
office
but
mask
and
mask
and
mask
and
and
shoot
people
up
with
shots,
and
everybody
wants
that.
No,
we
don't
want
this
either.
So
please
think
about
that.
We
moved
here
for
a
reason,
so
frustrating
that
not
one
School
Board
member
that
I
know
of
has
ever
stepped
foot
into
High
Springs
Community
School.
Thank
you.
J
B
I
do
want
to
thank
you
all
for
coming
out
tonight.
This
is
not
your
last
opportunity
to
provide
input.
Take
advantage
of
the
special
email
box
that
we
have
to
accept.
Rezoning
input
keep
checking
that
website.
Again,
that's
sbac.edu
rezoning.
We
will
be
updating
that
on
a
regular
basis
throughout
this
process.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
and
have
a
safe
trip
home.
