A
I,
don't
have
very
many
words
to
say:
I
was
going
to,
but
I've
been
walking
around
apologizing
for
my
attire,
we're
doing
an
ABC
countdown
to
the
last
day
of
school
and
today
was
C,
so
I'm
wearing
my
camouflage
in
support
of
our
students
and
staff.
So
excuse
my
attire
but
I'm
just
here
again
to
welcome
you.
Thank
you
for
coming
out
I'm
going
to
introduce
Jackie
Johnson.
She
just
sat
down
but
I'm
about
to
be
done,
so
Jackie
Johnson
is
going
to
come
up
and
take
over.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
Christian
and
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
staff.
Your
hospitality
today,
thank
you
to
those
of
you
who
have
come
to
share
your
input
with
the
school
board.
Three
of
our
school
board.
Members
are
here
tonight
that
includes
our
chair,
Tina,
certain
our
vice
chair,
Dr,
leonetta,
McNeely,
and
one
of
our
board
members
Dr
Sarah
Rockwell,
our
other
two
board
members
could
not
be
here
tonight.
B
They
had
family
situations
that
they
had
to
deal
with,
but
we
are
recording
tonight's
meeting,
so
they
will
be
able
to
review
everything
that
happened
at
tonight's
meeting,
and
so
will
you
we
will
post
a
video
of
tonight's
meeting
and
of
all
the
meetings
that
we
have
with
the
community
about
rezoning
on
our
rezoning
website
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
A
little
bit
later.
B
Our
superintendent
Shane
Andrew
is
here
our
Deputy
superintendent,
Donna
Jones
is
here,
and
we
have
a
number
of
District
staff
here,
and
that
includes
our
chief
of
equity,
inclusion
and
Community
engagement,
and
that
is
Dr,
Edwards
and
you're
going
to
hear
from
her
in
just
a
little
bit
at
this
time.
Ms
certain
has
some
words
that
she'd
like
to
share
with
you,
so
miss
certain.
Take
it
away.
Thank.
C
Whenever
rezoning
comes
up,
it
elicits
a
lot
of
fear
and
anxiety
in
people,
but
I
just
want
to
take
just
a
few
minutes
just
to
kind
of
reassure
you
and
why
we're
here,
I
understand
that
this
topic
of
rezoning
evokes
a
sense
of
fear
and
anger
for
some
of
us,
but
I
urge
you
to
hear
me
out
and
understand
that
this
is
this
decision
has
not
been
made
has
been
made
with
the
best
interest
of
all
of
our
students
in
mine.
Our
schools
have
been
facing
some
challenges
with
enrollment
in
recent
years.
C
Some
of
our
schools
are
overcrowded,
While
others
are
under
utilized.
We
also
have
a
responsibility
to
ensure
that
all
students
have
access
to
the
same
opportunities
and
resources,
regardless
of
their
zip
code.
In
order
to
address
these
issues,
we
have
decided
we
meaning
the
board,
have
decided
to
implement
a
comprehensive
rezoning.
This
means
that
we're
looking
to
reassign
some
students,
some
students,
may
stay
at
the
existing
schools,
but
it
is
likely
that
a
number
of
students
will
be
moved
around
during
this
process.
C
I
also
want
to
assure
you
that
we're
considering
all
the
factors
and
we're
considering
your
feedback
that
you
give
to
us
in
these
sessions
here
we're
going
to
be
hearing
from
our
staff
with
recommendations
and
we're
just
general
overall
listening
to
our
community,
but
just
know
that
we
have
to
make
some
changes
so
that
we
can
adequately
use
our
existing
facilities
that
we
have
and
that
we
can't
leave
everybody
where
they
are.
That
is
what
we've
been
hearing
a
whole
lot
of.
C
Is
that
a
lot
of
people
love
their
school
and
they
don't
want
to
change.
But
I
do
want
you
to
know
that
we're
we
are
considering
a
lot
of
feedback
from
you
all
and
options
that
will
are
on
the
table
for
utilizing
our
existing
facilities,
as
well
as
the
new
facility
that
was
recently
built
out
on
Parker
Road.
C
We
understand
that
change
can
be
scary,
but
we
want
to
reassure
you
that
we're
committed
to
providing
support
and
resources
to
families
and
students
during
this
transition,
we'll
work
closely
with
the
schools
and
community
members
to
ensure
that
all
students
will
indeed
have
a
smooth
transition
when
the
24
25
school
year
starts,
and
these
changes
go
into
place,
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
decision
to
do
rezoning
was
not
entered
into
lightly.
It's
one
that
said,
has
not
been
addressed
comprehensively
since
1983.
C
Our
daughter
and
son
did
just
fine,
so
we're
really
going
to
try
to
be
deliberate
in
the
things
that
we
do
and
the
decisions
that
we
make,
that
they
won't
be
on
just
haphazard
and
there
will
be
some
disruption
to
what
your
normal
routines
are.
But
we
ask
that
you
be
patient
with
us.
Trust
the
process
and
feel
free
to
provide
feedback
and
input
by
one
of
the
many
ways
that
Miss
Johnson
will
outline
shortly.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
Miss
certain
I'm,
just
gonna.
Let
you
know
how
tonight
is
going
to
go
down.
We
have
a
brief
presentation
for
you
that
share
some
information.
Some
of
the
current
data
that
we
have
about
where
kids
are
living,
where
they're
going
to
school,
which
of
our
schools,
are
overcrowded,
which
are
undercrowded
and
all
of
that
information
is
also
included
in
the
package
you
have
here.
B
We'll
also
share
with
you
the
calendar
of
how
the
rezoning
process,
when
certain
major
steps
in
the
rezoning
process
are
going
to
happen,
then
we
will
begin
hearing
from
you.
You
can
see
the
microphone
we
have
up
front
if
you'd
have
something
you'd
like
to
share
just
come
up
and
line
up
at
the
microphone
when
I
give
you
the
queue
we
have
a
Time
Clock
here,
I'll
be
keeping
time.
B
You'll
have
three
minutes
to
speak
to
the
board
and
when
your
three
minutes
are
up
you'll
be
able
to
watch
how
much
time
you
have
left
and
then,
when
your
three
minutes
are
up,
you'll
hear
a
beeping
and
it'll
be
time
to
let
the
next
person
speak.
We
also
have
a
QR
code.
So
if
you'd
like
to
email
your
input,
that's
another
thing
you
can
do
and
that
in
information
also
gets
to
The
District
staff.
That's
working
on
rezoning
and
to
our
school
board
members.
B
We
also
have
that
on
our
rezoning
page
and
we'll
keep
adding
to
that
as
we
get
more
questions
from
parents
that
need
to
be
shared
with
all
parents
and
with
all
the
rest
of
the
community,
I
do
want
to
stress.
No
maps
have
been
drawn.
No
Zone
lines
have
been
moved,
yet
there
isn't
a
plan
at
this
point.
Our
goal
was
to
get
public
input
first,
before
the
staff
starts
working
on
drawing
any
new
lines.
Right
now,
the
plan
is
for
the
board
to
get
a
proposed.
B
Some
proposals
sometime
in
August
and
I'll,
get
the
details
to
you
in
just
a
few
moments.
But
again,
I
do
want
to
reassure
you.
No
decisions
have
been
made,
yet
no
plans
have
been
drawn.
We're
waiting
to
hear
from
you
first.
So
at
this
point,
I
would
like
to
turn
things
over
to
Dr
Edwards
who's,
going
to
share
some
information
with
you
about
why
we
are
doing
rezoning
and
some
of
that
you
heard
from
Ms
certain
as
well,
but
she's
got
some
additional
information
for
you,
so
Dr
Edwards.
D
When
we
talk
about
capacity,
we
are
talking
about
our
permanent
structures,
we're
not
talking
about
Portables
that
are
on
campuses,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
being
fiscally
responsible
with
what
we
are
addressing
when
we
are
looking
at
those
those
structures.
So
our
schools.
We
want
to
ensure
that
we
can
invest
finances
into
those
building,
things
that
we
already
have
and
schools
that
have
already
been
built.
D
But
we
have
within
our
district
5400
seats
that
are
unoccupied,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
meeting
the
state
guidelines
in
terms
of
addressing
the
capacity
to
put
students
in
those
seats,
as
you
can
see,
on
the
slide
that
20
of
our
37
schools
are
at
90
percent
or
more
capacity.
And
we
have
some
that
are
over
a
hundred
percent,
a
hundred
and
twenty
percent.
And
so
there
is
some
very
significant
crowding
that
is
taking
place.
D
This
is
a
nice
facility
that
we're
sitting
in,
and
it
would
be
great
to
be
able
to
have
this
type
of
facility
in
every
school
for
all
of
our
students,
but
this
costs
money
and
it
it
takes
money
to
have
this
happen,
and
we
want
to
ensure
that
we
can
have
these
opportunities
for
all
kids
across
the
district.
It
costs
much
more
and
we
have
state
guidelines
and
requirements
as
to
what
kind
of
spending
can
come
in
order
to
build
new
schools,
and
so
we're
not
prepared
to
do
that
at
this
time.
D
So
as
we
listen
to
your
feedback
and
make
preparation
for
how
we
move
forward,
we
really
hope
that
you
would
take
some
of
the
constraints
that
we
have
before
us
into
consideration
and
know
that
we
are
listening
to
you
as
well
as
looking
at
how
things
are
outlined
both
by
the
state
and
what
we
need
to
do,
what
it
for
what
is
best
for
all
kids
in
our
County.
Thank
you.
B
E
Good
evening,
everyone
I'm
really
glad
to
be
here
and
I'm
excited
to
to
see
everyone.
One
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
is
to
just
reiterate
some
of
our
goals
for
rezoning
primarily
involve
creating
high
quality
learning
experiences
and
facility
facilities.
Do
play
a
role
in
creating
high
quality
learning
experiences,
as
do
our
staff,
our
people,
our
community,
our
curriculum
and
programs.
So
I'm
really
glad
to
see
you
all
here
tonight.
E
We
intend
to
provide
relief
to
our
overcrowded
core
facilities
which,
when
we
have
overcrowded
schools,
they
stress
our
core
facilities
and
we
have
situations
that
our
children
have
to
eat
lunch,
starting
at
9
30.
In
the
morning
we
have
overcrowded
hallways
situations.
We
have
media
centers
that
aren't
sufficient
to
meet
the
needs
of
all
the
students
in
a
school
Etc.
So
that's
something
that
we
really
care
about
is
Safety
and
Security
and
and
quality
learning
experiences.
E
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
using
our
facilities
efficiently
and
our
funds
efficiently,
which
equates
to
using
our
funds
in
a
manner
that
doesn't
just
involve
creating
new
facilities.
It
also
involves
renovating
and
redeveloping
Facilities,
like
we've
done
here
at
Metcalf.
Elementary
School,
we
have
our
older
facilities
in
the
eastern
part
of
our
County
and
we
have
overcrowding
in
the
western
part
of
our
County.
So
we
have
both
of
those
challenges
in
our
district
to
deal
with,
so
the
table
that
you
see
basically
shows
our
capacity
and
enrollment.
E
So
the
permanent
capacity
of
our
buildings,
which
includes
our
core
facility
capacity
as
well
as
the
enrollment
and
the
red
highlights,
represent
90
percent
or
above
that's,
90
percent
of
our
capacity
is
enrolled.
Currently
85
to
90
is
the
yellow
and
anything
below.
85
percent
is
green.
One
thing
I
wanted
to
mention
that
we
have
over
2500
seats
available
and
open
in
our
permanent
capacities
within
our
elementary
schools,
and
then
the
next
slide
represents
the
middle
and
high
schools.
We
have
over
1800
open
seats
in
our
middle
schools
and
over
1100
in
our
high
schools.
E
E
The
next
maps
that
I've
provided
are
the
student
population
maps
to
show
you
that
we
have
all
of
our
student
data
mapped
in
GIS,
and
this
is
going
to
allow
us
and
help
us
as
we
go
through
this
rezoning
process.
Again,
you
can
see
where
the
concentrations
of
the
black
dots
are.
That's
where
our
highest
concentrations
of
student
population
reside.
E
Then
we
have
middle
schools
and
we
have
high
schools.
We
work
closely
with
Alachua,
County
and
all
of
the
city
planners
to
try
and
capture
development.
That's
up
and
coming
so
one
thing
that
we're
doing
through
this
process
is
capturing
the
current
active
development
development
that
will
be
happening
in
the
next
one
to
three
years.
E
We
have
student
generation
multipliers
that
we
apply
to
single
family
and
multi-family
units
to
try
and
predict
the
number
of
students
that
will
be
generated
from
these
developments,
and
these
Maps
show
the
concentration
of
developments
in
our
County
and,
as
you
can
see,
they're
all
clustered
pretty
much
in
the
western
part
of
our
County
in
High
Springs
City
of
Alachua,
a
City
of
Newberry
in
the
western
part
of
the
county.
So
this
shows
the
development
as
it
relates
to
the
elementary
school
zones.
E
This
is
the
same
development
with
the
middle
school
zones
and
high
school
zones.
So
all
this
development
is
happening
in
our
areas
where
we
have
our
overcrowding.
This
will
be
taken
into
account
as
we
go
through
our
rezoning
process.
Are
there
any
questions
related
to
this
information?
This
chart,
basically,
is
a
summary
of
the
students
we're
projecting
from
those
developments
I'm
in
the
process
of
updating
this
information.
So
it's
most
current
as
we
go
into
this
process
of
rezoning.
Yes,
ma'am.
E
What
we're
going
to
be
accounting
for?
Are
these
numbers
that
you're
seeing
up
here
with
the
projection
in
the
next
three
years
with
active
development?
We
capture
plan,
review
information
as
well.
Those
are
plan
unit
developments
that
could
be
built
out
over
a
period
of
20
years.
They
may
or
may
not
happen.
E
You
know,
so
we're
not
we're
not
really
considering
those
through
this
rezoning
process
and
that's
something
that
every
year
we
do
a
concurrency
report
and
we
track
that
information
and
as
development
is
happening,
we
also
have
children
kind
of
outgrowing
the
schools
that
they're
in.
So
that's
something
that's
an
ongoing
Dynamic,
but
we
will
be
capturing
this
active
development.
C
Would
you
give
her
the
percentages
that
we
we
attach
like
when
you
go
to
the
plan
unit
development
and
if
it
has
say
a
hundred
houses
in
it?
The
elementary
factor
is,
you
know
the
0.14,
the
middle?
Would
you
give?
Would
you
give
her
that
so
that
I
think
that
would
help
her
know
how
we
came
about
with
those
numbers
there.
E
This
year
we're
using
this
the
factor
of
0.12
so
for
every
100
units
of
single-family
units.
We
predict
that
there'll
be
12
elementary
students
generated
six
middle
school
students
generated
and
nine
high
school
students
generated,
and
then
for
multi-family
units
we
predict
there
will
be
nine
Elementary,
School
students,
three
middle
school
and
three
high
school
students
generated
multi-family
units
tend
to
generate
less
students
than
single
family
units,
and
we
do
update
those
every
two
every
couple
years.
So
we
did,
we
just
updated
those.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Last
thing
we
want
to
share
is
the
calendar
for
the
rezoning
process,
as
you
can
see,
we've
had
this
is
our
third
Community
input
session
and
again
these
are
pre-map
Community
input
sessions.
We
have
another
one
scheduled
for
next
week
at
Norton,
Elementary
School
on
the
fourth
and
then
May
10th
at
Santa,
Fe,
High
School.
As
you
can
see,
we
tried
to
spread
them
throughout
the
entire
District.
B
Then,
as
I
mentioned,
the
plan
is
for
opposed
maps
to
be
presented
to
the
school
board
at
a
school
board
workshop
on
August
16th,
and
all
of
these
meetings
you
see
up
here
are
open
to
the
public
and
the
public
has
an
opportunity
to
speak
at
each
one
of
these
meetings
as
well.
Once
those
maps
are
produced,
we
will
of
course,
post
them
on
our
rezoning
website,
but
we
will
also
be
taking
them
on
the
road.
So
we'll
have
another
series
of
community
input
sessions
like
these.
B
The
difference
will
be
we'll
actually
have
maps
and
propose
Zone
lines
to
share
with
you
and
we'll
be
getting
your
input
on
those,
so
that
will
happen
between
August
16th
and
October
17th.
We'll
have
a
couple
of
months
of
those
September
19th
is
the
first
step
in
the
process
for
the
board
to
change
Zone
lines.
But
again
that
is
not
a
vote.
All
that
is
is
the
first
step
in
the
process
and
again
the
public
will
have
an
opportunity
to
speak.
Then
October
17th
there
will
be
a
public
hearing
on
the
proposed
rezone
line.
B
But
again,
these
new
Zone
lines
would
not
go
into
effect
until
the
fall
of
24,
so
they
would
be
for
the
2024-25
school
year
at
this
time,
we're
going
to
turn
it
over
to
you.
So
if
you
would
like
to
speak,
if
you
would
begin
lining
up
behind
the
microphone
and
I
will
start
getting
the
timer
going,
so
just
keep
track
of
how
much
you
time
you
have
there
and
when
your
three
minutes
are
up
Ms
certain
we'll
call
up
the
next
speaker.
So
just
give
me
a
moment
to
get
things
started.
B
G
Richmond
I
am
a
sophomore
at
B
Holtz
High
School
I
am
zoned
for
Gainesville
High
School
and
I
read
a
wuft
article
that
gave
a
couple
quotes
from
you
guys
on
the
magnet
programs,
so
I'm
here
to
really
talk
about
the
magnet
programs
and
kind
of
the
uncertainty
that
was
given
around
the
magnet
programs.
So.
G
First
of
all,
I
really
just
want
to
say
that
despite
me,
being
zoned
for
Gainesville
I
really
am
glad
that
I
chose
bucholz.
That's
because
I
attend
the
Academy
of
Entrepreneurship
and
around
this
whole
rezoning
thing.
You
mentioned
over
capacity
and
all
of
these
things
well
about
the
magnet
programs.
I've
read
in
the
wuft
article
from
you
guys
that
you
would
be
really
driving
beholds
the
academies
either
away
from
you,
Holtz
or
into
the
ground.
For
these
overcapacity
measures.
G
I
just
want
to
talk
on
behalf
of
our
teachers,
Mr,
Hoffer
and
Miss
Roche
on.
Why
I
think
you
guys
should
not
even
touch
the
academies.
The
Academy
of
Entrepreneurship
is
a
member
of
deca.
An
organization
with
over
200
000
members
across
the
world
is
the
ninth
largest
chapter
in
the
world
for
Deca
54
of
us
just
attended
the
international
Career
Development
conference,
where
we
will,
where
we
were
able
to
meet
and
network
with
20
000
other
Deca
members
from
across
the
world
and
from
other
states
and
prepared
for
that.
G
We
spent
months
preparing
10,
page
20,
Page
papers
studying
for
college-level
marketing
and
decision
making
exams
practicing
for
career
simulation
role
plays.
These
are
all
skills
that
many
people
and
other
Generations
wish
they
had
access
to
in
their
schools
and
stuff
that
I'm
grateful
that
I
have
access
to,
and
you
know
the
uncertainty
going
forward
that
if
you
guys
were
to
move
it
or
to
eliminate
it
for
overcrowding,
reasons
or
other
reasons
that
you
said
that
magnet
schools
were
not
beneficial,
I
kind
of
fear
for
upcoming.
G
G
We
serve
our
whole
school
through
our
academy
by
offering
branded
clothes
food
items
at
our
store
year
round,
and
you
know
hot
dog
cookouts
in
the
fall.
The
spirit
spot
at
bucholtz
in
our
academies
are
really
the
heart
of
beholds
and
it'll
be
a
shame
to
see
it
leave
or
be
eliminated
altogether.
So
in
this
rezoning
efforts,
just
I
would
ask
to
preserve
our
Academies
for
future
generations
of
students
who
might
have
access
might
not
have
access.
Thank.
G
F
Hi
good
evening,
my
name
is
Monica
Frazier,
first
I
just
want
to
say
I'm
in
favor
of
the
reason.
I
believe
that
children
who
are
in
walk
zones
should
remain
in
a
walk
Zone,
but
I
am
in
favor
of
diverse
schools,
and
that
may
cause
a
little
bit
more
busting
than
what
we
currently
have.
I
am
not
in
favor
of
magnet
schools,
magnet
programs
being
used
to
diversify
schools
if
the
magnet
program
operates
as
a
school
within
a
school,
because
that
is
fake
diversity.
F
F
I
would
like
to
say
when
you
are
finally
all
said
and
done
ready
with
the
maps
I'd
like
at
that
same
time,
for
there
to
be
an
explanation
of
the
policy
of
what
are
the
disowning
exemptions
and
what
the
process
is,
because,
inevitably
somebody's
not
going
to
be
happy
they're
going
to
want
to
remain
where
they
are
and
I.
Think
if
that
information
is
right
up
front
explained.
This
is
the
process
of
how
you
can
apply
to
stay
where
you
are,
or
to
go
somewhere
different.
F
That
would
calm
a
lot
of
parents.
Also
on
your
website.
Right
now,
I
can
put
in
my
address
and
it'll.
Tell
me
all
three
levels
of
schools
where
my
children
are
zoned.
I
would
like
to
see
that
available.
At
the
same
time
when
these
maps
are
for
the
new
so
that
it
I
won't,
have
to
call
or
send
an
email,
I
just
think
as
simple
as
we
can
make
the
process
of
dissemination
of
information
for
the
parents,
the
best
that
that
we
can
do
that.
C
You
Miss
Frazier
for
coming
and
the
when
we
were
looking
at
this
when
we
were
trying
to
rezone
first
school
I
for
the
new
school
that
was
built.
We
had
that
capability
where
there
was
you
could
go
in
and
put
your
address
in
and
you'd
see
the
impact
of
it
so
that
we
are
planning
to
roll
that
out,
but
it
won't
become
live
until
maps
are
actually
generated.
C
H
Hi,
my
name
is
May,
yes,
so
I'm,
the
two
kiddos
mom
and
I.
Consider
myself
as
an
educator,
because
I
put
my
whole
heart
for
supporting
kids
and
I'm
staying
in
campus,
my
whole
life,
it's
my
career,
so
I'm,
the
professor
at
UF
as
well,
so
I
I,
think
the
the
mission
innovation
of
the
alachu
County
Public
School.
It's
really
the
way
to
support
in
the
program
more
resources
and
to
bring
our
kids
to
the
future
success.
Do
you
agree
with
me
right?
H
So
that's
what
we
want
to
do,
so
we
always
think
about
what
we
can
do
best
for
our
kids
and
putting
the
thing
hard
to
think
about.
If
the
point
of
the
consequence
going
to
make
the
school
far
away
from
there
to
travel
and
more
Community
time
and
more
difficult
to
access
the
program,
that's
actually
not
a
good
plan,
so
I
know
it's
now
the
uncertainty
of
the
magnetic
program,
where
you
guys
going
to
do
other
reasons.
The
Line
is
now
drawn
yeah,
but
just
think
about
the
consequence.
H
H
H
We
should
promote
it
and
because
this
hour,
where
excellence
and
we
need
to
promote
more
program
like
this
and
then
increase
net
in
the
different
school
and
for
increased
enrollment,
it's
not
just
because
resulting
can
help
with,
because
they
actually
associate
a
lot
since
that
you
couldn't
control,
because
how
the
people
live,
the
migration,
the
job
harvesting
economy.
So,
but
if
we
keep
the
good
quality,
that's
the
way
to
attract
the
kids,
enrollment
I
think
the
good
resource
is
good
facility,
good
teaching,
good
education
environment
that
actually
can
keep
your
enrollment
always
go
up.
H
So
that's
why
I'm
thinking
we
should
think
more
positive
way,
how
we
can
promo
program,
provide
more
resources
to
support
them
and
then
diversify
more
different
programs
like
magnetic
program
and
have
more
than
in
each
of
the
schools
that
increase
the
enrollment.
That
probably
eventually
solved
the
problem,
but
just
for
thinking
about
how
to
balance
most
students
from
other
areas
to
the
other
area.
It
will
not
eventually
solve
a
problem
so
so
that
that's
my
stuff
here
to
share
with
you
I
hope
you
really
listen
to
the
students
and
community
and
the
students.
Thank
you.
I
I
If
it
will
solve
the
issues,
because
it's
not
more
or
less
the
amount
of
students,
it's
it's
kind
of
like
a
whole
Collective
thing
of
you
know
outside
family.
You
know
everything
just
kind
of
involved
in
regards
to
how
the
schools
are
operate
and
how
they
function,
and
things
like
that
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
and
everything.
Thank.
J
Hope
you
guys
really
enjoyed
getting
to
see
the
Academy
of
finance
and
also
getting
to
see
a
lot
of
seniors,
get
recognized
for
the
work
they've
done
the
past
four
years
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
you
guys
for
the
comments
you
made
there
supporting
the
magnet
programs
and
I'll
just
I
hope
that
you
guys
will
hold
your
commitment
to
maintaining
the
magnets
at
buchholtz,
yeah
I.
Guess.
One
thing
is,
as
a
student
I
understand
like
I'll,
just
talk
more
about
the
school
and
the
school
idea.
J
I
think
Bill
holes
as
a
magnet
program
is
really
the
opposite
idea,
because
again
the
magnet
programs
that
but
holds
you
only
take
one
class
per
year
there
and
the
other
five
or
six
classes
are
with
other
students,
like
the
regular
students
at
view
holds
so
it's
there's
very
little
like
you're
completely
like
intermingled
with
the
rest
of
your
holds.
This
is
definitely
different
from
some
other
magical
players.
I've
been
at
I.
J
Remember
when
I
was
in
Middle
School
at
Lincoln
there
was
a
very
Stark
difference
between
being
in
the
lyceum
and
being
in
the
mainstream
classes
like
we
were
even
fit
in
a
separate
Halls.
So
there
was
almost
no
interaction,
and
that
was
definitely
like
a
very
concerning
point
for
me
and
I
do
remember
as
like
time
went
on
at
Lincoln.
They
did
start
trying
to
mix
the
classes,
but
there's
still
a
very
big
just
like
barrier
there.
J
C
K
K
Thank
you
Catherine.
Thank
you.
The
only
thing
I
can
say
is
I.
Do
really
like
fall
in
the
same
category
as
the
lady
that
was
speaking
previously
we're
new
to
Gainesville.
We
just
got
here:
it's
been
two
years,
so
we
still
like
trying
to
find
the
actual.
You
know
you
know
to
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
everything.
K
She
was
not
doing
so
well
in
the
previous
school
that
she
was
in,
but
she's
doing
so
much
better
now
and
she's
getting
great
grades,
she's
coming
home
happy,
so
I
do
want
her
to
continue
being
in
that
in
the
school
and
I
know
that
it
might
not
be
the
case
after
the
rezoning.
So
that's
why
you
know
I'm
kind
of
nervous.
M
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Lena
Chui,
so
I'm
very
happy
that
you
are
hosting
a
few
sessions
here
and
I'm
thanking
you
for
this
opportunity,
I'm
speaking
here
as
a
mom
of
a
first
grader
and
also
I'm,
also
an
educator
at
UF,
same
thing
as
my
colleague
who
just
spoke.
So
that's
why
I
think
we
have
been
on
the
same
Common
Ground
the
whole
time
we
want
to
give
our
kids
the
best
education.
We
want
to
train
the
Next
Generation.
M
We
want
to
provide
everything
we
can
to
them
to
our
own
kids
and
also
to
children
for
others,
so
I
believe
equal
opportunity
is
very,
very
important.
So,
as
a
professor
at
UF,
we
also
promote
this.
We
want
to
give
equal
chance
to
all
kinds
of
children
of
different
backgrounds.
Different
talents,
so
I
totally
agree
with
that
and
I
think
magnet
program
is
providing.
This
type
of
opportunity
for
sure
depends
on
the
type
of
magnet
we
have
in
the
school.
M
Kids
from
different
locations
or
different
backgrounds
apply
to
the
same
program
that
they
think
they
will
fit
in
well,
and
then
they
get
great
education
there.
So
our
magnet
programs
in
the
district
has
been
the
best
part.
Probably
I
mean
the
great
part.
If
it's
not
the
best
part
of
the
school
district,
the
kids
are
doing.
M
M
That's
why
I
want
to
request
you
to
preserve
the
magnet
programs
we
have
so
we
know
the
paths
we
type
which
type
of
programs
we
can
go
for,
I'm,
afraid
of
uncertainty,
because
my
kid
we
live
in
Oakmont.
So
my
kid
had
a
few
uncertainties
while
attending
the
K
and
first
grade
and
second
grade
every
year.
There
is
something
showing
up.
M
C
Thank
you,
Mrs
Chow,
I,
hope,
I
said
that
correctly,
I,
I
and
I
probably
should
have
said
this
I
forgot
when
I
first
sat
down
here,
the
board
is
not
thinking
of
discontinuing
magnets
I'm,
not
really
sure
like
where
that
came
from
I'm.
Just
like
was
really
we
keep.
We
started
getting
all
of
those
a
lot
of
emails
about
that.
C
We
did
have
a
workshop
where
staff
bought
Ford
and
shared
information
with
the
board,
because
we
have
three
new
members,
so
Dr
McNeely
and
myself
have
been
here
and
we
had
three
members
who
were
who
came
on
in
22,
November
22.,
and
the
purpose
of
that
Workshop
was
to
share
existing
magnet
programs
that
we
have,
where
they're
located
the
number
of
students
enroll
their
impact.
You
know
if
the
students
are
enrolled,
they're
attending
a
magnet
that
they're
zoned
for
that
school
or
if
they're,
Their,
Own,
Zone
and
exemption.
C
Those
are
all
things
that
we
have
to.
We
have
to
account
for,
but
the
discussion
is
not
to
get
rid
of
magnets.
You
know
I've
suggested
that
we
have
have
special
programs
in
every
school
and
that
will
likely
help
the
transportation
challenges
that
we
that
we
are
experiencing
in
this
current
school
year.
But
we
have
to
like
consider
everything,
because
you
know
we,
the
the
district
is
like
it
was
said
earlier.
C
We
have
schools
that
are
severely
overpopulated
and
we
have
schools
that
are
severely
under
enrolled,
and
this
school
is
one
I
mean
when
I
first
came
on
and
when
we
first
bought
this
school
here
online.
It
only
had
188
students
zoned
for
it
188
students
and
the
capacity
as
we
go
to
the
table.
You
can
see
it's
a
lot
more,
so
that
just
did
not
make
that
you
know
that's
not
good
Financial
fiscal
sense
to
have
a
school
with
that
high
of
a
capacity
and
they
have
so
few
students.
C
C
You
know
that
that
is
not
the
case,
but
there
may
be
some
changes
in
location.
It
may
be.
We
may
add
additional
programs,
you
know
it,
there
may
be
some
changes,
but
we're
not
eliminated
them
or
that
that
has
not
been
the
discussion
with
us
to
give
to
staff
and
staff
hasn't
brought
that
to
the
board,
as
a
recommendation
come
to
the
mic.
Sir,
come
to
the
mic.
N
So
as
a
speaker
to
the
Oak
View,
you
you
possibly
remember
I
think
that's
all
the
information
is
like
the
community
got
from
the
workshop.
Okay.
Regarding
the
question
you
just
see
like,
why
do
people
think?
Because
it
was
talk
about
the
get
rid
of
magnet
program,
relocate
the
magnitude
program
yeah?
So
yeah?
That's
actually
that's
a
draw.
The
people's
concerns
on
that
I.
C
N
D
What
happened
in
our
meeting
was
that
we
brought
before
the
board
several
items
according
to
how
rezoning
must
occur
according
to
policy
5120,
and
when
we
brought
that
before
the
board,
we
were
asking
for
direction
and
which
things
would
need
to
be
prioritized.
As
we
looked
at
to
what
what
factors
we
would
consider
when
we
would
do
rezoning.
One
of
the
questions
that
came
up
during
that
time
was
magnet
programs.
It
was
not
what
they
were
doing
in
that
moment.
It
was
a
question
that
was
just
posed.
D
Would
you
want
to
move
magnets?
Would
you
want
to
keep
magnets?
Would
you
want
to?
It
was
just
really
very
broad
considerations
that
might
be
shared
with
us
from
the
board
as
to
what
they
want
to
do.
There
has
not
been
an
answer
to
that
and
so
I
think
in
the
discussion
that
has
occurred
when
the
word
magnets
came
up,
and
there
was
talk
about
what
kinds
of
things
to
consider
that
people
heard
that
and
were
very
concerned
I.
D
Think
some
people
became
frightened
and
I
think
that
there
were
people
who
were
within
magnet
programs
and
lead
them.
Who
then
went
on
and
had
additional
conversations
outside
of
what
has
happened
with
the
board,
and
it
has
led
to
the
belief
that
there
has
been
direction
to
remove
magnet
programs.
What
the
board
asked
in
response
to
that
question
of
them
is
what
we
want
to
prioritize
is.
Can
we
have
a
workshop
that
highlights
what
magnet
programs
we
have
in
the
district
so
that
they
can
make
a
more
educated
decision
about
the
direction
we
should
take?
D
D
C
N
Great,
actually,
that's
the
purpose
for
this
community
input
right,
although
Sarah
possible.
Remember,
we
also
have
the
personal
Communications
last
time,
yeah,
that's
actually,
but
but
I.
Just
let
you
know,
because
the
community
talk
after
a
workshop,
we
read
newspapers
just
Frankly
Speaking
because
they
said
why
the
board-
and
they
don't
like
magnet
program-
why
the
the
heat
excellence
that
doesn't
make
sense
right,
because
we
are
parents,
we
are
all
parents
here,
we
care
about
case
education,
I,
think
the
reason
why
the
main
purpose
is
actually
to
improve
the
education
quality.
D
N
Yeah
David
father
for
three
kids:
that's
possibly
you
know
why
I
care
I
not
only
carry
my
own
kids,
I,
really
care
about
the
whole
education
environment.
For
here
that's
actually.
My
first
question
I
want
to
ask,
and
since
we
talk
about
like
expensive
about
the
buildings
about
the
large
unoccupied
space
here,
but
over
across
there,
but
what's
the
long-term
goal,
because
we
cannot,
are
we
going
to
keep
this
forever?
N
Like
you
know,
the
people
leave
like
15
miles
away
from
the
East
and
then
come
here
for
school
I,
mostly
talk
about
the
high
schools.
If
we
see
that
I
think
in
a
high
school,
possibly
the
most
I
know,
that's
a
history
reasons.
You
know
the
state
possibly
refuse
us
to
build
new
schools,
but
when
we
look
at
a
map
like
there's,
definitely
a
urgent
need
for
a
new
high
school
at
Southwest
area.
N
C
Last
name
so
I'm
having
to
refer
to
you
by
that
okay
Mr
David,
we
are
in
the
process.
We
just
started
our
process
of
strategic
planning,
so
we
this
stuff,
has
to
be
done
in
stages
and
I
can't
give
you
we've
heard
the
community
say:
there's
a
need
for
a
new
school
in
the
west,
a
new
High
School,
but
I
can't
tell
you
what
our
long-term
plans
are,
because
we
haven't
we're
really
trying
to
take
things
incrementally
rezoning.
C
What
we
have
now
and
we'll
work
with
the
to
get
our
strategic
plan
I'm
completed,
and
hopefully
things
will
clear
out
as
to
where
we
are
and
and
we
use
these
seats
and
with
growth
and
looking
where
money
is
and
all
of
that
type
of
stuff.
But
we
it's
incrementally
what
we
do
here.
We've
heard
the
community
and.
N
I
thought
this
will
be
a
very
wild
idea,
but
will
there
be
a
consideration
since
we
have
a
you
know
some
unoccupies
here,
but
we
have
three
High
School
actually
accumulated
in
this
area.
Right
since
today
we
are
on
this
size.
Will
there
be
a
possibility?
Just
you
know,
combine
three
into
two
and
use
the
resource
actually
really
develop.
One.
N
C
N
C
We're
hoping
that
this
board
here
is
hoping
to
get
a
strategic
plan
done
and
to
really
start
thinking
about
things
really
long
term.
That's
part
of
that
and
putting
together
a
plan
so
that
we
can
position
our
County
to
to
have
state-of-the-art
educational
facilities
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
community,
and
we
really
do
have
to
have
a
strategic
facilities
plan.
We
don't
have
that
now,
but
it
is
something
that
we
do
need
to
look
at
and
develop.
Okay,.
N
Oh
kind
of
my
seconds
since
nobody
here
since
we
have
communication.
The
second
question
is
more
like
it.
So
well,
I
heard
several
parents.
Actually
they
have
a
concern.
It's
like
okay,
I,
don't
know
the
uncertain
about
resume.
We
are
here
next
year
will
be
the
other
schools.
I
want
to
specifically
ask
what's
the
policy,
especially
for
the
high
school,
you
know
we
all
know.
High
School
is
very
different
from
middle
school
from
elementary
school
high
school.
N
When
you
enter
into
a
year,
you
already
have
a
four-year
plan,
very
strategy
plan
for
like
how
you
build
your
strength,
develop
your
interests
yourself,
your
career,
that's
very
important.
So
that
means
the
ninth
grader.
If,
after
resume
next
year,
they
will,
if
they're
already
in
a
school
next
year,
they
have
to
go
to
B
school
or
there
will
be.
Considerations
is
okay,
since
you're
already
in
you'll,
be
here
fulfill
all
your
career
path
here,
but
then
for
the
coming.
N
C
Board
policy
does
not
permit
that
unless
you're
in
a
magnet
program.
It's
my
understanding.
So
if
you're,
a
ninth
grader
in
a
magnet
program,
you
would
stay
at
that
school
and
I.
Probably
should
let
staff
speak,
but
if
you
a
rising
senior,
you
would
get
to
stay
at
your
current
school.
It's
like
if
you're
a
rising
fifth
grader.
You
would.
You
could
stay
at
your
current
school
or,
if
you're,
a
rising
eighth
grade.
C
Highest
grade
is
that
you
would
be
in
there.
You
could
say
that's
what
current
board
policy
is,
but
Mr
David.
If
we
allow
all
the
ninth
graders
to
stay
at
their
existing
school
like
I.
Don't
have
this
chart
with
me
now
in
front
of
me,
but
that'd
be
a
lot
of
students
that
would
still
stay
there
and
it
still
would
kind
of
defeat
the
purpose
of
us
trying
to
redraw
the
lines
we
we
can't
leave
everyone.
C
C
K
G
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
guys
for
the
clarification
on
the
magnet
schools.
I'll
have
to
pass
that
on
to
my
advisors
at
Deca,
just
because
there
was
some
misinformation
there.
It
seemed
like,
but
I
did
have
a
question
about
the
buses,
because
you
guys
haven't
mentioned
really
buses
with
this
rezoning.
So
would
there
really
be
any
policy?
This
doesn't
affect
me
because
I
drive,
but
for
the
elementary
middle-
and
you
know
9th
and
10th
graders,
or
maybe
those
who
can't
afford
the
car
in
high
school.
G
C
I
I
kind
of
had
maybe
a
question
comment,
but
I
guess
and
I
I
hear
a
lot
of
parents
focusing
on
the
magnet
programs
which
are
fine,
and
it
just
seems
like
a
lot
of
the
mainstream
students
are
the
one
are
the
ones
that
are
going
to
get
affected
more
than
anybody.
That's
just
what
I'm
it
sounds
like
to
me
I'm
kind
of
penalized
for
not
being
in
a
magnet
I'm
all
for
Education.
I
That's
a
high
priority
in
my
household
and
my
daughter
was
actually
in
a
magnet
program,
but
due
to
other
things,
personal
things
I
mean
death.
We
had
a
lot
of
things
going
on
and
mentally.
She
just
was
not
there,
so
I
put
her
in
the
mainstream,
but
my
overall
concern
for
her
is
not
just
the
quality
of
education,
but
also
her
growth.
Personally,
you
know
mentally
spiritual
and
putting
her
in
an
environment
that
will
facilitate
that
will
help
that
to
grow
and
I.
I
Guess
it
just
kind
of
bothers
me
in
a
sense,
because
if
we
start
there,
she
she
has
on
that
pathway,
we
get
rezoned
and
she
snatched
from
it.
So
how
will
that
affect
her?
You
know
in
the
long
run
if
she
comes
through
I
mean
at
the
end
of
the
day
it's
on
the
parents,
they've
got
to
come
home.
We've
got
to
be
that
support
system
help
them
get
through
those
other
years
in
between
there.
So
I
guess,
that's
my
concern
and
I
know
just
out
of
the
buzz.
I
C
C
It's
been
a
long
long
time
and
so
we're
here
and
we're
here
having
to
work
through
these
challenges
and,
as
we've
said,
we
just
started
these
Community
input
sessions.
You
know,
last
month
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
them,
we're
listening
to
the
community
and
going
to
consider
you
know
existing
policies,
State
statutes,
I
mean
there
are
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
doing
this
before
we
make
a
decision
and
we're
going
to
really
try
to
put
forth
a
good
product.
I
tell
you
the
same.
C
That
I
have
is
that
I
would
like
for
Alachua
County
to
be
known
as
a
very
good
school
system,
a
school
system
of
Excellence,
not
that
we
have
several
good
schools.
I
want
every
single
school
system
to
be
a
high
quality
learning
environment,
where
every
parent
would
not
have
any
hesitation
about
putting
their
child
here,
because
everybody
doesn't
have
the
resources
to
pick
up
and
to
move
to
a
certain
area
that
has
a
good
school.
I
C
Thing
well,
it
is
more
economical
to
to
run
a
a
full
School
makes
more
sense
to
run
a
school.
That
is
that
that
has
the
number
of
students
that
it's
built
for
the
capacity
than
it
is
to
run
a
half
in
rural
school,
because
a
school
that
has
200
students
that,
with
a
capacity
of
600,
we
have
two
schools.
You
got
to
have
a
principal.
You
have
to
have
full
service
staff
janitors
and
think
a
librarian.
C
You
have
to
have
a
guidance
counselor,
so
if
you've
got
200
students
or
600
students,
which
is
more
economical,
it's
better
to
run
the
school
at
its
capacity
versus
one
that's
law
on
general
of
the
200
right.
So
we
have
limited
number
of
dollars,
that's
coming
from
the
state,
and
it's
really
imperative
that
we
use
those
in
the
most
efficient
way
so
that
we
can
spend
money
I'm,
not
operating
half
full
buildings.
But
we
can
invest
that
money
in
programming
and
high
quality
staff
so
that
we,
the
children,
would
benefit.
Okay,.
I
C
C
Academic
growth
and
we
have
mental
health
supports.
We
have
school
counselors.
We
have
things
of
that
nature
there,
but
I
can't
I
I.
Don't
have
that
type
of
capacity
to
predict
that
or
to
to
know
the
impact
of
the
school
to
be
able
to
to
have
an
impact
on
that.
But
hopefully
we
put
a
group
of
students
together,
we
have
Karen's
staff
and
all
that
are
around
and
everyone
is
is
really
pouring
into
students
and
they
have
a
really
good
outcomes.
C
C
Ask
that
everybody
trust
the
process
and
know
that
we
are
really
trying
to
do
a
good
job
I'm
speaking
for
myself
and
my
colleagues
and
and
for
the
staff-
and
you
know
they
I
kind
of
give
some
of
them
a
hard
time,
but
I
think
that
we
are
really
all
of
us
are
on
the
same
page
and
wanting
to
do
this.
It
hasn't
been
done
in
a
long
time,
but
we
want
to
do
it
and
do
it
well
and
serve
our
community.
Okay,.
I
K
C
L
Because
yeah,
my
name
is
Savannah.
Last
time
I
come
I
went
to
the
wow,
yes,
I
have
one
child
in
magnetic
program
in
Lincoln
middle
school,
he's
in
seventh
grade
and
he
loves
that
program
and
what
my
point
is
not
to
talk
about
it
I'm
so
happy
today
to
to
hear
that
you
will
not
get
rid
of
the
magnitude
programs.
That's
the
Zumba
I'm,
so
happy
to
hear
that
now
so
the
but
the
other
things
I'm
concerned
is
relocate.
The
magnitude
program
so
I
understand
that.
L
Now
we
are
discussing
this
and
the
just
the
proposed
the
resume
and
how
to
resume
the
school
to
benefit
the
a
lot
of
kids
education,
and
when
we
talk
about
that
I'm
thinking
about
the
ifs
resume,
can
we
keeps
originally
magnet
program
in
each
school
like
in
Lincoln
Middle
School?
That
the
magnitude
program
is
very
good,
includes,
increase
the
diversity
and
the
kids
love
that,
and
especially
my
my
son,
is
in
the
robotics
teams.
L
They
will
go
to
the
world
competition
this
weekend,
so
so
I
just
said:
keep
the
original
magnet
program
in
each
school
and
the
increase,
add
or
some
new
magnetic
program
to
like
us,
music
or
Sports,
and
to
the
other
reason
school
and
the
yeah
attract
the
the
enrollment.
That's
the
of
that
school.
So
that's
my
point
very
simple.
Keep
the
thank
you.
