From YouTube: 04/25/23 Community Input on Rezoning at Wiles Elementary
Description
Alachua County Public Schools
A
B
Thank
you
very
much
to
all
your
staff
for
your
hospitality
today.
We
appreciate
it
and
thank
you
to
all
of
you
for
being
here
for
braving
the
rain
and
the
traffic
to
be
here
and
to
share
your
input
on
rezoning
with
our
District
staff
and
with
our
school
board
members
all
of
our
school
board.
Members
are
here
tonight.
Let
me
introduce
them.
We
have
our
chair,
Tina
certain.
B
C
C
The
board
is
here
to
listen
and
hear
your
feedback
on
this
process
that
we'll
call
it
that
is
called
comprehensive,
rezoning,
we've
pivoted
and
moved
away
from
spot
rezoning,
where
we
were
just
considering
a
few
schools
and
to
now
we're
working
to
and
receiving
input
to,
rezone
all
of
our
schools
in
the
County
K-12
and
the
last
time
this
was
done
was
in
1983
and
then
there
was
a
larger
spot
resulting
done
in
2002..
So
this
is,
we've
had
a
lot
of
growth
in
our
County
and
since
those
years
in
the
past
21
years.
C
Since
we
last
did
this
and
we
have
some
schools
that
we're
dealing
with
that
are
over
enrolled
build
and
we
have
some
schools
that
are
under
enrolled
and
we
have
a
new
bill,
a
school,
that's
newly
built.
So
it's
incumbent
upon
on
the
board
to
consider
how
we
can
improve
our
operational
efficiency,
our
financial
efficiency
and
just
how
we
can
serve
our
families
and
students
to
the
highest
quality
and
that
entails
doing
what's
called
rezoning,
redrawing
attendance
boundaries.
C
B
Rundown
about
how
we
will
be
operating
tonight,
you
will
see
we
have
a
microphone
in
the
center
when
it's
time
I
will
give
everyone.
The
signal
that
you
can
come
up
to
the
microphone.
You
will
have
three
minutes
to
talk
with
the
board.
We've
got
a
timer
here,
I
will
be
running
the
timer
and
you'll
be
it'll
count
down.
B
So
you'll
see
how
much
time
that
you
have
available
and
then,
when
you're
three
minutes
is
up
Ms
certain
will
call
up
the
next
speaker
if
you
have
input,
but
you
don't
want
to
share
it
here
at
the
microphone.
You
can
also
use
the
QR
code
to
email,
our
special
email
box,
rezoning
gm.sbac.edu,
and
that
will
also
be
seen
by
The
District
staff
and
the
board
members
as
they
consider
rezone.
B
We
will
have
a
brief
presentation
for
you.
That
include
includes
current
enrollment
data
current
maps,
but
I
do
stress
that
word.
Current
no
maps
have
been
drawn,
yet
no
Zone
lines
have
been
drawn.
Yet
that
doesn't
happen
until
we
until
we
have
heard
the
community
input
and
we'll
have
a
little
bit
more
about
the
calendar
on
rezoning
in
just
a
couple
of
minutes.
We
are
recording
this
meeting
and
we
will
post
it
in
a
few
days
on
our
rezoning
website,
which
is
www.sbac.edu
rezoning.
That
website
has
quite
a
bit
of
information.
B
It
has
videos
of
all
of
the
previous
meetings
we've
held
on
rezoning.
It
has
all
of
the
data
that
you're
going
to
see
here
tonight
and,
of
course,
we
will
keep
adding
to
that.
As
the
process
moves
forward.
We
have
the
calendar
of
rezoning
meetings
that
will
be
coming
up,
so
we
encourage
you
to
check
out
that
website
and
we
will
be
adding
to
it
as
I
said
so
at
this
Point.
B
What
I'd
like
to
do
is
turn
it
over
to
Dr
Antonique
Edwards,
to
share
some
preliminary
information
with
you,
then
Suzanne
Nguyen,
who
is
our
director
of
construction
and
planning.
She
will
have
a
few
slides
to
share
with
you.
I
will
have
a
couple
of
slides
to
share
with
you
and
then
we'll
start
hearing
from
you,
so
Dr
Edwards.
Thank
you.
D
Good
evening,
everyone
she's
already
introduced
me
as
the
chief
of
equity,
inclusion
and
Community
engagement
and
under
that
umbrella,
Falls,
the
zoning
department
and
so
we're
sharing
today.
Some
of
the
rationale
behind
why
we
are
doing
comprehensive,
rezoning
I
was
thinking
our
board.
Chair
really
took
the
Thunder
I,
don't
have
to
say
much.
She
shared
a
lot
of
it.
Our
last
comprehensive
rezoning
for
our
school
district
was
literally
40
years
ago
in
1983,
and
so
it
is
really
time
for
us
to
look
at
the
zoning
Lines
within
our
school
district.
D
There
have
been
a
lot
of
changes
since
that
point
in
time,
and
we
know
that
more
than
half
of
our
school
schools
actually
are
overcrowded,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
the
capacity
at
schools,
we
know
that
20
of
the
37
schools
are
at
90
percent
or
more
is
how
we're
defining
being
overcrowded
at
our
schools.
And
so
we
need
to
look
at
the
space
in
our
school
district.
D
We
have
5400
Open
Seas,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
capacity,
we're
talking
about
permanent
capacity
of
buildings
was
not
inclusive
of
Portables
that
you
see
on
campus
right.
Those
are
additional
funds
that
we
spend
in
order
to
put
Portables
on
the
campuses
of
schools,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
the
actual
seat
counts
in
our
buildings,
and
we
look
at
our
district
as
one
District,
not
just
what's
happening
on
the
North
side
or
the
south
side,
or
the
east
side
or
the
west
side.
D
So
in
totality
we
have
more
than
5
000
seats
available
for
children
to
be
able
to
go
into
classrooms
in
and
learn,
and
so,
although
we
know
that
there
is
crowding,
sometimes
in
some
areas
we
have
other
places
where
there
is
capacity
to
build.
New
schools
is
extremely
expensive,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
fiscally
responsible
and,
as
we
are
looking
at
rezoning,
that
we
are
utilizing
dollars
that
we
have
for
our
existing
structures
and
to
make
those
structures
appropriate
across
the
district
for
all
students,
regardless
of
where
they
live.
B
Something
because
I
didn't
know
this
is
not
I
do
want
to.
Let
folks
know
that
you
may
have
picked
up
a
frequently
asked
questions
at
the
front
table,
if
not
be
sure,
to
pick
one
up
on
the
way
on
the
way
out,
because
it
does
have
some
more
details
about
things
like
what
are
some
of
the
state
limitations
on
building
new
facilities.
What
does
core
facilities
mean?
B
E
Excited
to
be
here
with
everyone
this
evening,
just
to
to
reiterate
the
some
of
the
whys
that
were
rezoning.
One
thing
that
we
we
want
to
do
is
first
and
foremost,
provide
high
quality
learning
experiences
for
all
of
our
students.
District-Wide
provide
relief
to
overcrowded
core
facilities
and
also
use
our
facilities
in
an
efficient
manner
and
as
well
as
our
funds.
E
I
have
enrollment
tables
in
there
for
elementary
middle
and
high
school.
The
green
zones
are
less
than
85
percent,
and
the
red
zones
are
90
percent
or
more.
We
have
the
percentage
part
of
our
capacity
that
we
have
at
our
schools.
In
elementary
school
district-wide,
we
have
over
2500
vacant
seats
in
our
middle
schools.
We
have
over
1800
vacant
seats,
district-wide
and
in
our
high
schools
we
have
over
1100
vacant
seats
district-wide
following
those
tables
up.
We
have
the
zones
that
were
basically
displayed
on
those
tables.
E
We
have
them
highlighted
in
the
colors
that
were
represented
on
those
tables.
To
sum
up
our
District's
comprehensively,
we
have
a
lot
of
overcrowding
and
newer
schools
in
the
western
part
of
our
district,
and
we
have
the
under-enrolled
schools
in
the
eastern
part
of
our
district
and
the
schools
that
are
in
need
of
Redevelopment
renovation,
such
as
what
we've
been
doing
at
Idlewild
and
Metcalf,
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
that.
E
We
did
it
at
Bishop
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
that
at
Westwood,
Middle
School,
the
walls
just
started
going
up
yesterday,
which
was
really
exciting.
So
this
is
a
graphic
representation
of
of
the
over
capacity
that
we
have.
This
is
the
map
representing
the
middle
schools
and
then
the
next
map
after
that
is
the
high
schools.
E
One
thing
I
want
to
do
is
provide
you
information
that
shows
the
the
data
that
we
we
do
have
going
into
this
rezoning
effort.
I,
don't
want
to
take
a
ton
of
time,
because
we
want
to
hear
from
you
and
what
your
thoughts
are.
We
have
all
of
our
student
addresses
mapped
in
GIS,
and
that's
something
that's
going
to
assist
us
with
this
rezoning
effort.
You
can
see
the
black
dots
where
the
Clusters
are.
We
have
a
lot
of
our
student
population
in
the
western
part
of
our
County.
E
The
centroid
of
our
student
population
is
actually
in
the
vicinity
of
Buchholz
High
School
on
the
western
fringes
of
the
city
of
Gainesville.
So
we
have
this
information
for
elementary
middle
and
high.
This
information
will
show
you
the
the
number
of
students
that
are
enrolled
versus
zoned,
as
well
as
the
capacity
of
the
school
on
these
maps
and
following
these
Maps
we
have
the
active
development.
This
is
something
that
we
work,
cooperatively
with
the
Alachua
County
and
all
of
the
cities
to
gather
development
data
from
them.
E
Active
development
is
considered
development,
that's
currently
going
on,
or
that
will
be
happening
in
the
next
three
years
less
than
three
years
as
you
can
see,
it's
clustered
in
the
western
part
of
our
County,
and
this
shows
you
the
areas
where
we
have
the
active
development.
That's
going
to
be
up
and
coming
coupled
with
the
elementary
school
zones
and
again
the
middle
school
zones
and
the
high
school
zones.
E
This
basically
shows
you
by
Zone
the
projection
of
the
number
of
students
that
are
expected
to
be
generated
from
these
developments
up
and
coming
in
the
next
current
to
three
years.
A
lot
of
them
are
in
the
western
part
of
the
county.
This
is
information
that
we
are
going
to
be
incorporating
into
our
rezoning
process
to
account
for
these
students
that
we're
projecting
that
will
be
coming
into
our
schools.
F
E
Okay,
we
have
statistical
information
that
creates
a
student
generation
multipliers
based
on
single
family
or
multi
multi-family
residential
units,
and
that
what
that's?
What
creates
our
projections
for
students
that
we're
expecting
you
know?
One
thing
that
is
hard
to
model
are
the
number
of
students
that
are
migrating
out
of
our
schools,
as
new
students
from
new
development
are
coming
in.
But
this
is
something
that
will
be
accounted
for
in
our
our
rezoning
process.
C
E
B
Thank
you,
Suzanne
next
couple
of
slides,
we'll
give
you
an
idea
of
our
timeline
for
rezoning.
This
is
our
second
Community
input
session.
We
have
three
more
coming
up.
One
is
coming
up
on
Thursday,
then
we
have
one
on
the
fourth
and
one
on
the
10th.
As
you
can
see,
we've
spread
them
out
throughout
the
district
and
you
are
welcome
to
attend
any
or
all
of
those
sessions
and
again,
I
want
to
stress
that
these
are
sessions
that
we
are
holding
before
any
maps
are
drawn.
Any
lines
are
drawn.
B
The
plan
is
for
proposed
and
again
I
stress,
proposed
Zone
lines,
maps
to
be
presented
to
the
board
on
August
16th
at
an
August
16th
workshop,
and
then
you
can
see
between
August
16th
and
October
17th.
That's
when
we
plan
to
have
what
I
call
our
post
map
Community
input
sessions,
where
we
will
again
travel
around
the
county
and
share
with
parents
and
the
public
the
proposed
Zone
lines
and
get
their
input
on
those
proposed
Zone
lines.
There
is
a
regular
board
meeting
on
September
19th.
That's
what's
called
the
first
reading.
B
There
is
a
process
under
state
law
that
we
have
to
go
through
with
a
very
specific
timeline
to
change
the
Zone
lines
or
really
change
any
policy,
and
that
process
begins
on
September
19th.
Then
there
will
be
a
public
hearing
on
October
17th
and,
ultimately,
the
goal
is
for
the
board
to
vote
on
new
Zone
lines
on
November,
7th
and
again,
these
Zone
lines
would
take
effect
for
the
24-25
school
year.
That
is
our
present
presentation.
B
Again
we
have
more
information
on
the
frequently
asked
questions
page
and
on
our
website,
but
at
this
time
we're
going
to
start
taking
public
input.
So
if
you
are
interested
in
speaking,
please
line
up
behind
the
microphone
and
I
believe
Ms.
Certain
has
just
a
couple
of
housekeeping
items
to
share
at
this
point.
Yes,.
C
G
G
G
We
shouldn't
limit
magnet
programs
to
a
certain
region
that
only
limits
diversity
by
allowing
students
from
all
corresa
to
apply
for
magnet
programs.
We
give
all
children
in
the
county
an
equal
opportunity
to
join
programs.
They
wish
benefit
benefiting
diversity
of
beholds
and
giving
more
opportunities
to
students
that
may
not
be
zoned
for
beholds,
but
to
have
a
special
interest
in
learning.
G
The
school
board
were
to
cut
off
non-zone
students
from
joining
magnet
programs
or
eliminating
managing
programs.
Students
who
wish
to
learn
in
these
specialized
classes
will
no
longer
have
access
to
them.
While
overcrowding
is
genuinely
an
issue
it
beholds
moving.
The
magnet
programs
away
from
beholds
would
hurt
the
students
within
the
program
and
the
school
itself.
G
There
are
already
limits
on
the
number
of
non-zone
students
that
are
accepted
into
the
academies
at
beholds
and
the
numbers
that
were
previously
presented
make
it
appear
that
magnet
students
are
the
root
of
the
other
crowding.
This
is
not
the
case
if
you
take
the
Zone
Zone
students
from
the
Mega
numbers,
their
alternative
solutions
that
fix
this-
that
don't
necessitate
the
removal
of
a
certain
group
of
students
or
the
entire
magnet
program.
G
I
would
also
like
to
speak
of
the
idea
of
a
school
within
a
school
that
I've
heard
of
I
believe
that
this
belief
doesn't
fairly
represent
the
students
of
these
magnet
programs.
Only
one
of
the
six
classes
that
we
require
to
take
each
year
is
an
academy
class,
and
we
have
more
than
plenty
of
opportunities
to
interact
with
other
people
students.
G
G
The
Bobcat
branch
and
the
Spirit
Shop
are
the
special
shops
that
are
run
by
these
magnet
programs,
and
there
are
some
of
the
most
unique
features
of
our
school
moving.
These
programs
would
drastically
alter
the
character
of
our
school
and
I
would
like
to
urge
School
Board
to
rethink
the
repercussions
of
such
a
decision.
Thank
you.
F
Hello:
okay,
good
afternoon,
School
Board
of
Alachua
County.
My
name
is
Neha
I
attended
the
stem
program
at
Stephen,
Foster
attend
the
lysine
program
at
Lincoln
and
we'll
be
in
the
IB
program
at
Eastside
in
the
fall
today,
I
will
be
speaking
about
the
benefits
of
all
of
the
magnet
programs
in
our
district.
Over
the
past
few
weeks,
I've
heard
many
perspectives
about
the
issue
of
rezoning,
Alachua,
County
schools
and
or
removing
magnet
programs
altogether.
F
From
my
point
of
view,
as
a
current
lyceum
and
future
IB
student,
stopping
magnet
programs
in
our
district
will
be
nothing
but
detrimental
to
all
the
students.
Here
to
start,
every
one
of
our
magnets
is
special.
Our
highly
rigorous
magnet
programs
are
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
Alachua
County
receives
the
national
recognition
that
it
does.
F
Every
year
we
have
math
and
science
teams
from
beholds
winning
at
National
levels,
a
high
rate
of
acceptance
at
Elite
colleges
from
all
of
the
Alachua
County
magnet
programs,
and
even
a
lyceum
student
who
is
moving
on
to
represent
North
Central
Florida
at
the
National
Spelling
Bee.
This
year
the
Wall
Street
Journal
has
named
one
of
you.
Holtz's
teams
America's
greatest
math
team
in
2020
2
and
the
IB
Program
had
29
National
Merit
semi-finalists
in
2021..
F
These
are
students
that
have
put
in
the
work
to
stay
in
the
magnet
programs,
learn
at
Advanced
levels
and
apply
that
knowledge
in
everyday
life.
Overpopulation
has
been
a
major
concern
for
students,
teachers
and
parents
alike,
for
one
B
Holtz
is
almost
at
125
capacity.
Many
people
have
used
that
statistic
to
advocate
for
rezoning,
without
really
taking
into
account
that
half
of
the
magnet
program
is
actually
zoned
for
the
school.
Even
then,
students
who
go
to
Eastside
are
assisting
the
district
and
preventing
further
overpopulation
in
Southwest
schools
by
traveling
across
town
for
the
IB.
F
Program
would
estimate
that
about
90
percent
of
the
IB
program
is
not
zoned
for
East
Side.
It
takes
a
lot
to
spend
two
hours
on
a
bus
every
day
just
to
get
to
and
from
school,
but
we
do
it
because
we
want
the
challenge
and
rigor
it
offers.
Some
students
will
thrive
in
a
challenging
accelerated
environment,
whereas
the
same
environment
could
be
stressful
for
students
that
require
a
regularly
paced
education.
F
Different
students,
different
children,
have
different
needs
and
I
would
request
the
school
board
to
consider
every
student's
preferences
if
the
district
were
to
eliminate
our
magnet
programs
entirely,
I'm
afraid
that
we
would
lose
a
good
portion
of
our
students
to
gainesville's
private
and
charter
schools
for
my
class
of
2027.
We
have
had
constant
interruptions
due
to
covet
our
sixth
grade
year
and
then
the
rapid
increase
in
fights
in
our
seventh
grade
due
to
Lasting
behavioral
issues
after
isolation.
F
The
last
thing
we
need
is
another
Interruption,
but
this
time
our
lives
will
be
completely
turned
upside
down,
because
we
once
again
have
to
learn
how
to
function
at
a
new
school
with
little
to
no
guidance.
I
would
like
to
humbly
request
that
no
major
changes
be
made
to
high
school
magnets,
especially
when
these
four
years
are
the
most
crucial
to
forming
a
foundation
for
our
future
careers
with
all
due
respect,
I,
don't
believe
that
eliminating
Alachua
County
magnet
programs
will
have
any
of
the
positive
effects
that
it
seems
are
expected
from
this
change.

Good
evening
my
name
is
Matteo
cavallano
and
I
am
a
sophomore
at
bugles.
I
know
my
voice
may
not
hold
much
weight
here,
but
I
just
wanted
to
humbly.
Thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
listen
to
us.
It
really
means
a
lot
to
me
now
as
a
son
of
two
immigrants
who
worked
hard
day
and
night
to
secure
a
future
a
brighter
future
for
me,
and
my
younger
sister
always
telling
us
to
take
opportunities
every
step
of
the
way.
H
H
It's
also
helped
my
family
avoid
more
cost
in
terms
of
transportation
and
in
terms
of
when
I
took
the
finance
program
in
freshman
year.
But
let
me
tell
you
I,
don't
regret
taking
that,
because
the
magnet
programs,
this
program
has
taught
me
so
many
valuable
things
from
learning
how
to
avoid
debt.
For
instance,
student
loan,
which
is
a
huge
problem
in
our
school
systems,
to
learning
how
to
file
taxes
and
investing
these
lessons
with
all
due
respect,
aren't
just
things
that
you
will
easily
forget.
I
Hello,
my
name
is
Anish
Patel
and
I'm.
A
ninth
grader
enrolled
in
the
Academy
of
Finance
The
Academy
of
Finance,
brings
together
diverse
Minds
across
the
county
United
by
their
interest
in
finance,
whether
it's
accounting
or
personal
finance.
The
academy
allows
students
to
learn
things
that
they
wouldn't
learn
in
a
normal
classroom.
I
In
turn,
these
students,
these
allow
students
to
explore
new
career
paths.
Students
are
even
able
to
do
taxes
for
free
for
their
Community.
However,
if
the
academy
is
only
open
to
those
Zone,
then
these
opportunities
will
be
taken
away
from
non-zone.
Students
like
myself
that
I
have
an
interest
in
finance.
The
Academy
of
Finance
is
already
well
integrated
into
beholds.
Only
buholz
has
a
branch
of
the
Florida
Credit
Union
on
its
campus.
I
Being
the
largest
school
in
the
county
has
the
best
ability
to
hold
such
a
magnet
program
moving
the
economy
could
harm
the
program
tremendously
and
debilitate
its
ability
to
serve
students.
Undoubtedly,
overcrowding
is
an
issue
in
the
county.
However,
it
would
be
irresponsible
to
consider
moving
around
or
removing
Magna
programs
as
a
solution
to
this
problem.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
J
Hello
board
Madam
chair.
Thank
you
guys,
especially
for
picking
Wiles.
It's
a
proud,
so
I
am
the
media
specialist
here
at
Wiles,
but
I'm
also
a
kindergarten
parent.
So,
as
you
were
rezoning,
one
of
my
concerns
is
looking
at.
Where
are
low-income?
Students
are
in
the
district
and
where
they
fall
along
those
lines,
so
schools,
like
Wiles
I,
believe,
are
so
successful,
obviously
I'm
biased,
because
this
is
my
home
but
I
believe
that
the
success
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
balance
of
our
school.
J
J
However,
our
PTA,
our
fundraisers,
our
Book
Fairs
things
here,
are
very
successful
and
not
just
for
students
that
come
from
higher
income
families,
but
we
are
able
to
spread
that
wealth
around
a
little
more
so
I
think
when
we're
drawing
these
lines,
we
have
to
pay
attention
to
where
those
students
are
located
to
williger.
If
you
look
back
at
history
of
Terwilliger
to
williger
was
in
a
school
so
around
the
exact
same
time
that
Meadowbrook
was
finished,
I
didn't
hear
a
mention
of
any
kind
of
spot
rezoning
with
Meadowbrook
being
finished.
J
It
was
around
2012
I
believe,
but
when
that
happened
almost
exactly
a
year
or
two
years
later,
so
realtor
became
a
c-school
and
then
two
years
later
fell
to
a
b
school.
So
my
concern
is
especially
with
the
location
of
our
new
school,
where
terwiller
is
located
now
that
the
domino
effect
of
moving
students
and
where
those
low-income
students
are
going
to
fall,
because
when
those
low-income
students
are
all
segregated
into
one
school,
they
don't
have.
C
K
Hello
respected
board
members.
My
name
is
asmita
Gupta
and
I've
been
a
parent
of
one
farmer
and
one
current
student
in
the
Alachua
County
District,
mostly
the
magnet
school.
So
we
really
haven't
ever
gone
to
a
Zone
school
for
work,
I,
take
care
of
patients
with
marginalized
population
and
with
limited
resources.
K
I
wanted
to
make
a
couple
of
points
in
favor
of
magnet
programs.
I
do
believe
that
educational
needs
for
all
the
students
are
not
the
same,
irrespective
of
socioeconomic
status,
race
or
identity.
Therefore,
Dr
Rockwell's
comment
in
one
of
the
meetings
resonated
with
me.
She
mentioned
that
in
the
National
Conference
she
attended,
they
discussed
the
concept
of
meeting
every
individual
students
needs.
I
hope
that
the
school
board
will
not
lose
sight
of
this.
K
Magna
programs
have
their
place
for
students
who
are
able
to
take
the
rigor,
but
for
others,
a
more
regular
slower
Pace
may
be
the
optimal
way
to
go.
So
please
keep
this
under
consideration
when
you
go
through
the
re
overhauling
of
the
magnet
process,
another
comment
by
Miss
McGraw,
or
was
it
Dr,
McNeely
I?
Don't
remember
who
was
sharing
her
experience
from
another
national
meeting,
and
she
mentioned
that
today,
a
student
is
not
competing
with
the
student
next
to
them,
but
with
a
global
student
who
may
be
thousands
of
miles
away
from
our
community.
K
The
U.S
is
not
particularly
doing
well
in
stem
subjects.
Reading
and
I
went
up
on
the
Pew
trust
and
their
ratings,
and
basically
we
are
not
at
the
top.
You
would
think
that
a
richest
and
the
world's
most
powerful
country
will
be
among
the
top
three
or
five,
but
we
are
not
not
among
the
10
or
20
either.
K
K
I
put
some
best
suited
for
students
from
any
background
really
who
are
driven
and
willing
to
work
hard
and
to
keep
Pace
with
an
accelerated
program,
and
they
can
only
be
best
run
if
everyone
is
in
the
same
frame
of
mind
and
has
a
common
goal.
Having
fights
or
behavioral
issues
will
typically
Be
A
disruption
for
this
atmosphere
of
learning.
K
So
I
also
really
implore
you
to
maybe
have
an
anonymous
survey
for
magnet
teachers,
so
you
can
get
their
input
because
they
know
the
programs
best
and
they
know
which
students
may
be
suited
for
this
program.
In
summary,
I
request
that
no
major
changes
we
made
to
the
magnets,
especially
the
high
schools,
because
it
will
put
more
pressure
on
an
already
stressed
high
school.
Instead
of
thank
you,
ma'am
I'm.
Sorry,
just
one.
C
Second,
I
really
need
you,
I'm
gonna
have
to
go
on
if
I,
let
you
go
I
have
to
let
others
go.
So.
Thank
you
so
much
for
coming.
Thank
you.
L
Hello,
my
name
is
James
Olson
I'm,
a
parent
I've
been
a
parent
of
children
in
the
Alachua
County
School
District,
for
over
20
years
now,
I
have
two
that
graduated
another
one
back
in
elementary
school
and
we've
been
to
multiple
schools
as
well.
One
thing
that
I
noticed
on
the
enrollment
table.
All
the
schools
that
are
under
enrolled
are
actually
some
of
the
worst
graded
schools
out
of
the
the
the
current
grading
system.
L
Why
you
know
I
realize
there's
a
funding
issue,
but
every
other
county
in
the
state
that
I've
seen
has
better.
It
has
better
buildings
and
structures
than
ours,
and
you
know
that's
a
big
concern
that
I
have
with
rezoning
I've
seen
children
seen
my
own
children
succeed
through
our
Public
School
Systems
and
falter
both,
and
it's
a
big
concern
that
some
of
these
overcrowded
schools
are
also
some
of
the
best
performing
schools.
L
And
that's
what
I
see
the
parents
pushing
their
kids
to
there
and
if
we
rezone
it
I'm,
not
sure
how
that's
going
to
help
indefinitely
with
the
parents
that
have
the
means
they're
going
to
pull
their
students
if
they
get
rezoned
into
an
unfavorable
school,
where
it's
gone.
Poor
grades
and
they're
going
to
be
pulling
them
into
the
private
sector,
especially
I,
believe
there's
vouchers
more
available
throughout
the
state
as
well.
L
Now,
so
that's
one
of
my
biggest
concerns
that
the
the
lowest
populated
schools
or
worse
or
the
worst
graded
schools
and
the
highest
graded
schools
are
the
most
populated
schools,
and
it
just
makes
me
nervous
that
I'll
be
pulled.
My
child
will
be
pulled
out
of
a
well-performing
school
into
a
less
performing
school
just
because
of
rezoning.
Thank
you.
M
Hello,
I'm,
riuan,
Chong
and
I'm
from
the
Holtz
Academy
of
Finance,
so
I,
first
of
all,
I
believe
rezoning
is
actually
not
a
bad
idea,
because
some
schools
are
overcrowded
and
some
schools
are
undercrowded,
and
that
is
fine.
However,
I
believe
that
they
should
not
be
touching
Magna
programs,
because
those
are
not
related
as
magnet
programs
are
actually
academies
that
help
students
develop
their
future
careers
that
help
them
develop.
M
The
programs
obvious
can
be
worse
because
there's
a
risk
there's
a
limited
resource
and,
for
example,
at
the
Academy
of
Finance
there's
a
there's,
always
a
laptop
footage
and
the
teacher
is
always
working
hard
and
they
cannot
be
overloaded
even
more
than
they
are
right
now
so
yeah.
And
how
are
you
going
to
find
the
same
teachers
who
are
always
committed
to
the
same
tasks
always
committed
to
over
200
students
and
that's
very
difficult
for
to
find
so
I
believe
that,
though,
resulting
is
good
for
schools,
teachers
and
sorry
magnet
program
should
not
be
touched.
N
Okay
good
evening,
so
a
dear
member
of
the
board,
so
my
name
is
so
I'm
here
to
express
my
support
for
the
comprehensive
result,
while
I
urge
the
board
to
consider
the
magnet
program
and
touch
it,
if
not
included,
so
basically
I
fully
import
indoors
the
comprehensive
result
plan
and
it
helped
to
balance
the
student
population
address
the
change
which
are
called
in
the
in
the
last
two
decades.
We
have
the
population
change
of
student.
N
You
know,
population
is
not
well
aligned
with
a
score
capacity,
and
this
is
a
long
overdue
and
it
will
help
to
reduce
the
overall
quality.
However,
I
strongly
Advocate,
the
marinate
program
should
be
left
untouched.
Here's
some
reason
I
like
to
share
so
first,
the
current
magnet
program
actually
provide
promote
the
diversity
and
also
increase
inclusion
in
the
ecosystem.
So,
as
a
district,
a
wider
program
was
embedded
a
lottery
system.
It
already
applied
the
equal
opportunity
for
the
students
regarding
this
where
they
like,
where
they
live,
so
they
can
all
apply.
N
They
all
have
opportunity
to
be
admitted,
and
also
this
current
magnetic
program
actually
is
provide
a
cultural
awareness
and
also
acceptance
of
diversity.
So
this
is
definitely
is
evident
from
my
personal
experience.
My
kid
is,
he's
a
very
proud
Wildcat,
kids
so,
and
he
said
he
made
a
lot
of
friends,
so
they
lived
in
the
same
roof:
it's
not
school
in
school.
Actually,
it's
a
one
school.
N
Secondly,
I
think
the
marinate
program
also
bring
a
lot
of
Honor
recognition,
positive
impact
to
the
district
overall
reputation.
I
believe
we
should
expand
the
magnet
program
to
include
more
discipline.
We
should
be
Excel
in
the
sport
in
music,
all
kind
of
discipline.
So
by
doing
this,
all
the
students
can
sell
in
the
area
they
enjoy
and
they
are
good
at
so,
which
is
a
true
diversity.
N
So,
finally,
so
dismantle
the
marinade
program
could
cause
many
students
to
seek
the
admission
to
private
or
charter
school
so
which
is
going
to
result
a
significant
Finance
loss
to
the
district
and
further
the
school
voucher
and
school
choice
built
a
recently.
Implantic
can
potentially
roast
this
situation.
So
basically,
in
summary,
so
I
would
like
to
I
strongly
support
the
result.
This
activity,
but
we
should
I
leave
the
mountain
program,
is
as
it
is,
so
to
establish
a
program
with
a
repetition
takes
years
of
effort,
but
to
destroy.
It
can
happen
overnight.
So
thank
you.
O
And
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name-
is
I'm.
A
parent
I
want
to
thank
the
school
board
for
spending
time
and
listening
to
the
public.
Today,
I
want
to
share
my
concerns
and
let
you
know
the
difficulties
and
challenges
my
family
will
face.
If
the
Bluehost
magnet
programs
are
moved
to
the
Lufkin,
High,
School
I
believe
many
other
families
will
have
similar
or
the
same
issues.
O
The
first
challenge
is
the
far
distance
in
transportation
as
school.
Bus
service
is
not
offered
to
the
magnet
program
students
for
a
family
with
both
parents
working
and
siblings,
attending
other
school.
It
is
very
difficult
for
the
parents
to
drop
off
and
pick
up
a
child
from
a
school
that
far
away
plus
the
transportation
to
view
Halls
from
Lofton
for
all
the
US
for
all
after
school
activities.
O
O
O
O
Third
I
want
to
talk
about
the
finance
and
Entrepreneurship
programs.
These
programs
not
only
offer
academic
and
Technical
courses,
but
they
offer,
but
they
also
give
students
opportunities
to
volunteer
and
participate
in
activities
that
truly
help
the
community,
for
example,
helping
families
during
taxes
that
can't
afford
to
do
it
by
using
other
services
or
raising
funds
to
help
return
babies.
O
P
Good
evening,
thank
you.
My
name
is
David
Eckhart.
Thank
you
for
your
time
this
evening,
I'm
from
Florida,
Credit,
Union
and
I'm.
Also
a
parent
of
alachu,
County
Schools,
so
I've
been
working
for
Florida
credit
for
28
years.
Many
of
you
know
we're
founded
by
the
teachers
and
been
around
from
1954
and
spent
all
my
career
in
financial
management
and
serving
electric
County
School
teachers
and
also
I've
been
sat
on
sitting
on
currently
studying
on
the
board
of
the
Alachua
or
the
Academy
of
Finance.
P
As
a
board
member
here
at
the
Buchholz
High
School,
we
have
a
bobcat
Branch
there
and
you've
seen
some
of
the
students
already
that
have
presented
here,
and
we
for
the
past
20
years
plus
have
had
that
program
there
and
we're
very
concerned,
obviously
about
that
program.
Moving
through
the
Journey
over
the
20
past
plus
years.
We've
we've
had
this
discussion
about
overcrowding
at
be
Holt,
and
this
program
has
been
sort
of
brought
up
many
many
times,
and
so
I've
I've
done
this
speech
a
few
times
over
the
years.
P
What's
happened
over
the
years
is
that
program
and
other
magnets.
They
tend
to
get
lessen
and
lessen
in
terms
of
the
number
of
kids
are
allowed
to
accept
out
of
Zone.
Busting
changes
have
changed.
We
persevered,
we've
had
fantastic
teachers,
fantastic
students,
that
program,
as
you
can
see
from
some
of
those
have
talked
about
the
program.
It's
very
life-changing
and
it's
not
just
our
magnet
program
but
the
other
magnet
programs
that
we've
had
as
a
employment
floor,
Credit
Union.
We
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
having
that
Branch
there.
That
Branch
was
specifically
built
there.
P
We've
renovated
It
Through
The
Years
a
couple
times
and
we're
committed
to
financial
education
for
our
students,
we're
committed
to
Growing
those
kids
into
building
careers,
whether
it's
right
out
of
school
or
going
to
college
we've.
We
employ
about
seven
to
eight
of
the
those
kids
every
year,
but
we
also
have
volunteers
at
the
school
that
we
teach
financial
management
skills.
Some
of
those
students
that
started
20
years
ago
are
are
graduated
from
college
mbas
and
now
still
working
for
Florida
Credit
Union
in
high
high
capacity
positions
at
the
credit
union.
P
We
have
some
kids
that
come
right
out
of
high
school
and
go
right
into
into
the
workforce,
so
both
college
preparatory
and
right
out
of
this,
so
my
concern
with
moving
that
program
to
a
school
like
Lofton
or
doing
away
with
it
I
think
it
destroys
really
what
has
been
created
20
plus
years
at
view
Holtz
high
school
I'm,
going
to
put
my
parent
hat
on
my
timer
hasn't
really
run
so
I,
don't
know
where
I
stand
in
my
three
minutes,
but
I
have
two
kids
that
it's
it
it's
gone,
but
I
don't
think
the
three
minutes
started
from
the
top,
but
but
I
have
a
parent
of
two
kids
I'll
make
it
in
10
seconds
here
they
I'm
zoned
for
B
Holtz.
P
Q
Hi
I'm
Eileen
Branham
I'm,
a
parent
here
at
a
unique
situation.
My
oldest
was
a
graduate
of
the
2020
from
the
Cambridge
program
at
ghs,
where
he
was
out
of
Zone.
We
actually
bought
a
house
in
Hale
specifically
so
that
he
could
go
to
buchholtz
when
we
moved
here
when
he
was
in
fifth
grade
and
then
we
went
to
all
the
magnetic
open
houses
and
he
decided
that
the
Cambridge
program
was
the
best
place
for
him
on
the
way
from
our
house
in
Hale
to
bucholtz.
Q
He
said
to
me:
how
much
longer
is
it
going
to
take
to
get
there
because
he
was
used
to
coming
from
hail
right
here
to
Wiles
in
kanapaha
when
I
said
to
him.
This
is
only
nine
miles.
We
might
as
well
not
go
to
east
side,
because
that
Nine
Mile
ride
was
almost
too
much
for
him
to
even
want
to
continue
into
high
school
but
Mike.
So
my
concern
is
removing
of
the
magnet
programs.
My
oldest
son
graduated
from
the
ghs
Ace
Program,
my
youngest.
Q
Q
The
academies
of
new
Holtz
are
unique
and
that
they
have
a
fully
functional
student-run
bank
and
a
student
Cafe
where
the
Academy
students
can
put
their
learning
into
practical
use.
The
Ace
Program
is
one
of
my
oldest
obviously
went
out
of
Zone
to
attend
to
I
cannot
sing
its
Praises
enough.
My
son
has
sailed
through
college
based
on
what
he
learned
in
the
Ace
Program
I
know
when
he
was
a
student
there.
He
had
several
friends
who
were
not
in
the
program
who
were
allowed
to
take
classes,
Ace
classes,
just
certain
classes.
Q
I
would
love
to
see
something
like
that
be
brought
to
the
community
so
that
those
these
programs
can
be
expanded
to
other
schools
and
allowing
more
children
to
have
access
versus
just
moving
them
from
one
school
to
another.
We
should
be
allowing
all
students
these
opportunities
and
finding
ways
that
we
can
expand
their
access
instead
of
just
talking
about
moving
a
program
from
one
school
to
another.
R
R
I
had
to
rezone
him
twice
because
of
school.
He
was
in
elementary.
He
was
zoned
to
I,
did
not
want
him
to
go
there
because
he
was
already
in
one
other
school
and
he
only
had
one
year
left
and
I
had
to
rezone
him
to
another
school
which
the
school
he
was
rezoned
to
was
further
out
than
the
school
he
was
assigned
to
go
to.
R
So
with
this
year,
I
have
to
I,
have
moved
on
the
other
side
of
town
now,
I
have
to
rezone
him
one
more
time
because
it's
closer
to
my
job
because
I
take
him
to
school,
and
my
son
doesn't
ride
the
bus
at
all.
So
I
take
him
to
school.
It's
not
a
problem
with
me,
taking
him
to
school.
It's
just.
My
main
concern
is
just
to
win
zoning
starts.
R
Will
he
be
able
to
go
to
that
school
or
he
would
will
he
be
able
to
go
to
the
school
he's
assigned
to
and
that's
my
main
concern
the
magnet
program
he's
in
four
o'clock
right
now.
They
have
a
lot
of
magnet
programs
there
that
they
offer
the
the
young
kids
there
and
I
try
to
get
him
into
it,
but
he
haven't
already
have
a
full
schedule
himself
with
all
his
other
activities
outside
of
the
school
with
church
and
everything
else,
so
I'm
all
for
rezoning,
wide,
Nationwide
distant
wide.
R
T
Garrett
I
have
three
children
in
the
Alachua
County
Schools,
one
in
elementary
one
in
middle
school
and
one
in
high
school.
None
of
my
children
are
in
the
magnet
programs,
but
I
I
did
come
to
say
that
it's
obvious
from
tonight
and
from
the
other
meetings
where
parents
and
students
have
spoken
that
we
have
extraordinary
magnet
opportunities
in
our
County
and
I
hope
that
you
will
preserve
those
that
you
won't
disrupt
them
for
these
kids
that
have
already
experienced
so
much
disruption.
T
I
also
wanted
to
speak
about
having
a
child,
that's
not
in
the
magnet
program.
Yet
I
still
feel,
like
my
son
benefits
from
having
access
to
the
same
AP
classes
that
some
of
these
other
magnet
attending
children
are
in
at
Buchholz,
High,
School
and
I.
I
really
appreciate
that
I
feel
like
he
really
wasn't
interested
in
finance
or
entrepreneurship,
but
he
still
has
access
to
some
of
those
higher
level
classes
and
once
and
he
can
take
as
many
as
as
he
feels
like
he
can
handle
or
his
view
so.
T
I
appreciate
that
school
choice
that
the
magnets
offer
and
the
opportunities
so
I
hope
that
we
will
preserve
those,
but
I
also
wanted
to
speak
to
the
fact
that
I
recognize
that
we
have
under
enrolled
schools.
It's
a
huge
problem.
We
have
diversity
issues
within
our
schools
and
I
propose
that
we
go
with
our
strength
and
add
more
magnet
programs,
maybe
they're,
not
all
so
academically
focused
more,
maybe
they're
more
like
the
criminal
justice
magnet.
That's
been
very
successful
in
Newberry
to
and
add
more
of
those
magnets
into
the
schools
that
have
under
enrollment.
T
T
Maybe
it's
something
from
the
Arts
I'm,
an
artist
I
wish
we
had
more
Arts
programs
I,
think
that
could
be
something
at
a
high
school
level
that
that
could
draw
students
to
an
under-enrolled
school
I
also
wanted
to
speak
about
sports
I
think
the
sports
could
be
a
huge
way
to
draw
students
to
some
of
these
under
enrolled
schools.
I
would
love
to
see
us
pour
into
these
Sports
for
the
benefits
that
it
gives
to
the
students
in
their
behavior
I.
T
S
S
I
have
a
a
son
who's,
a
currently
a
sophomore
and
in
the
2024
to
20
25
year,
he'll
be
a
senior,
so
my
my
initial
idea
coming
in
here
today
was
to
was
to
talk
to
you
about
making
sure
that
the
seniors
and
Juniors
were
able
had
to
have
that
they
would
have
the
option
of
staying
in
their
schools.
S
So
I
was
relieved
to
see
that
the
seniors
anyway
will
have
the
option
of
staying
at
their
current
school,
but
I
just
wanted
to
strongly
urge
you
to
to
consider
allowing
Juniors
to
also
say
at
their
current
school.
As
we
said,
the
the
zones
haven't
been
changed
for
40
years.
These
kids
have
grown
up
with
each
other
they've
gone
through
elementary
middle
and
two
years
of
high
school
together
and
for
them
to
be
yanked
out.
S
You
know,
like
I
know,
my
son
has
his
close
friend
group,
and
if
one
of
them,
you
know
had
to
go
to
another
school,
didn't
know
any
of
their
kids.
That
would
be
pretty.
That
would
be
devastating
and
I
feel
like
emotionally
mental
health-wise,
with
not
only
with
everything
they've
already
gone
through
with
Covenant
being
separated
and
all
that,
but
just
even,
if
that
didn't
happen,
I
think
to
be
pulled
out.
The
last
two
years
would
be
really
difficult,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there.
Thank
you.
U
Hi
good
evening,
my
name
is
Han
Yi,
so
I'm
here
today
to
raise
my
well
I'm,
not
really
concerned
about
rezoning.
I
was
actually
with
the
expansion
of
the
city
and
also
more
population
I.
Believe
it's
necessary.
However.
I
do
urge
the
community
to
put
more
effort
to
it.
Now
we
always
we're
all
hearing
all
the
concerns.
All
the
community
come
here,
other
people
showing
up
or
not
showing
up
they
don't
care
about
educations
and
I.
Believe
the
sole
purpose
of
the
education
is
to
educate
our
youth
to
the
respectable
and
productive
citizens.
U
So
right
now,
you're
just
telling
us
putting
us
resume
line
there,
but
you
are
not
putting
providing
a
comprehensive
plan,
you're
just
telling
us
a
line.
So
we
need
to
see
that
the
actions
after
you
put
on
the
Zone
there
so
what?
For
example,
you
we
need
to
enrich
our
students
with
more
activities
programs
and
with
all
the
population,
for
example,
if
they
all
move
to
the
Easter
side
right,
A
lot
of
them
will
be
moved
to
east
side,
because
there
are
low
capacity
cities
what
kind
of
resource
it
will
provide.
U
How
do
you
make
sure
everyone
gets
what
they
need
to
educate
the
youth?
We
need
to
make
sure
our
actions
all
should
be
focused
on
what
we
can
provide
them.
The
best
possible
plan,
instead
of
just
saying,
give
us
your
input,
but
you
don't
provide
us
a
plan.
The
actions
and
the
input
should
be
based
on
the
plan
and
when
I'm
looking
at
this.
This
is
my
concern.
U
Now,
when
I
look
at
the
criteria,
it's
all
like
the
financial
efficiency,
the
school
capacity,
the
convenience
of
access
to
the
schools,
not
much
about
the
quality
of
the
education
and
how
to
make
sure
all
our
kids
really
they
are
gifted
in
many
ways
right.
So
we
all
admit
that,
how
do
we
make
sure
their
gifts
are
being
enhanced
and
also
we
provide
them
the
resource?
We
need
to
see
that,
so
you
will
see
less
concern
in
a
less
complaint
because
we
need
actions.
U
I
truly
believe
that
you
guys
have
all
the
good
intentions,
but
remember
the
roads
to
the
health
is
paved
with
good
intentions.
We
need
good
actions.
The
intention
really
need
to
be
paired
with
all
the
planning,
all
the
resources
I'm
sure
other
parents
here
and
also
parents
are
not
showing
up.
They
all
care
about
the
qualities.
If
you
can
put
input
from
all
the
community
and
all
the
help
and
support
from
the
community.
U
U
V
Okay,
good
afternoon,
the
school
board
good
afternoon,
everybody,
my
name-
is
Charlie
Lee
I'm,
a
newcomer
to
to
this
County
I.
Recently
my
family
moved
from
Georgia
to
Gainesville
Florida
I'm,
a
UF
faculty
member
I.
Hope
I
can
provide
a
little
bit
of
a
fresh
perspective
from
a
newcomers
point
of
view.
So
when
we
were
in
Georgia
not
in
Georgia,
actually
we
moved
from
Athens
Georgia.
V
My
two
kids
actually
attended
a
you
know
one
of
the
best
schools
in
Georgia,
maybe
top
five
top
ten.
It
took
them
only.
You
know
5-10
minutes
to
go
from
a
home
to
school,
but
right
now
my
oldest
son
he's
in
Lincoln.
It
takes
him.
You
know
like
30-40
minutes
to
go
from
home
I.
We
live
in
Southwest
of
Kansasville.
It
takes
so
long
to
every
day
to
commute
so
initially
I,
don't
understand
and
later
after
I
attended,
the
school's
open
house.
V
I
I
came
to
appreciate
and
like
the
lyceum
program,
a
magnet
program,
and
my
son
also
gradually
likes
this
magnet
program.
Initially
he
resisted
to
come
to
Gainesville,
but
this
magnetic
program-
I,
you
know
I,
think,
is
very
attractive
because
it
offers
rigorous
and
challenging
curriculum.
So
my
son
can
learn
even
he's
in
middle
school,
high
school
algebra
stuff.
V
It
was
kind
of
a
geometry
news
class,
so
I
think
it's
very
good,
it's
very
attractive
for
for
students,
I,
remember
when
we
were
looking
for
housing
before
we
moved
here,
the
realtor
told
us
the
story
about
Bluehost.
You
know
legendary
Mr,
freezers,
you
know
a
math
teacher,
you
know
Mathis
program,
you
know
he's
from
Wall
Street
Trader
stuff
like
that.
So
that's
also
one
reason
that
attract
us
here,
so
I
think
when
we
consider
resuming,
we
certainly
should
protect
our
Excellence.
V
Our
strengths,
I
think
one
one
parent
said
well
I
mean
we
should
go
with
our
strengths
right
back
then
program
is
our
one
of
our
strengths.
We
should
protect
and
promote
it
instead
of
destroying
it
or
compromising
it.
That's
one
of
my
points.
Another
point
I
want
to
make
is
a
magnet
program,
actually
promotes
diversity.
V
I
also
want
to
show
my
experience
in
Georgia,
actually
Northern
Georgia
who's.
My
kids
attended:
actually
it's
not
very
diverse.
Most
of
them
were
white
kids,
but
then,
when
we
get
here,
I
think
we
like
the
diversity
I,
think
this
diversity
is
from
the
magnet
program.
I
think
we
repeated
research
has
proven
this
Magnum
program
offers
opportunity
and
diversity.
W
W
My
kids
have
all
been
in
magnets,
whether
it's
middle
school
or
high
school,
but
I
bought
my
home
in
Newberry,
so
my
kids
could
go
to
school
in
Newberry,
and
so
when
we
talk
about
the
possibility
that
we
could
have
to
rezone
to
the
other
side
of
town,
the
idea
that
you
put
a
magnet
on
the
other
side
of
town
that
you
attract
people
that
want
to
go
to
the
other
side
of
town
is
such
a
good
idea.
My
oldest
wanted
to
go
to
bucholtz
and
she
wanted
to
go
in
the
magnet
and
I
said.
W
You
know
what
I'm
not
driving
you
to
view
Holtz.
You
need
to
be
in
your
community
school,
where
you
can
do
activities
where
you
can
know
your
teachers
and
grow
up
with
the
same
kids
and
next
month
my
senior
is
going
to
do
a
senior
walk
at
the
elementary
school
and
see
the
teachers
she
had
when
she
was
in
elementary
school.
W
So,
for
me,
it's
a
kind
of
a
little
different
perspective,
I'd,
like
my
kids,
to
go
to
school
where
their
home
is
and
I
do
appreciate
that
they
did
the
magnet
at
Oakview
and
two
of
them
have
done
the
magnet
at
Newberry,
High,
School
and
I
appreciate
all
these
thoughts
that
you
guys
are
listening
to.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Miss
Ellison.
X
Oh
hello,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Tanya
Hua,
so
I
have
a
daughter
who
attend
a
Williams,
magnet
agreement
within
Elementary
manager,
program
and
fruit.
So
I
got
some
sense
of
you
know
her
like
her
class.
Her
classmate
well,
just
like
her
I
mean
some
of
the
residents
already
shared
from
what
I
see
I
mean
I
saw.
I
saw
great
diversity
like
her
class
is
well
presented.
X
You
know
by
every
restaurant,
you
know,
kids
from
all
the
resistance
groups
yeah,
basically,
and
they
get
on
really
well
so
I
do
think,
like
keeping
magnet
program
will
be
literally
important
to
promote
diversity
because,
kids,
you
know
the
gift
kids,
who
you
know,
come
from
the
whole
larger,
County
and
I.
Think
like
just
like
people
said
you
know
they
have
already
experienced
pandemic.
They
have
already
been
negatively
impacted
by
you,
know
academically,
and
we.
The
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
more
disruption
from
for
the
kids
and
about
for
reasoning.
X
One
I
want
to
share
another
experience.
At
the
very
beginning
of
the
class,
the
I
saw
a
big
hole
on
the
wall
of
their
classroom.
So
when
she
is
like
some
of
those
you
know,
school
buildings
are
really
old,
like
literally
I.
Think,
instead
of
reasoning,
one
possible
one
possibility,
it
may
sound
crazy
is
maybe
you
know
moving
some
of
the
school
to
the
West,
because
you
know
the
you
know.
X
Over
the
years
the
population
on
the
west
of
the
county
have
the
grill
grown
tremendously,
but
there's
just
no
enough
schools,
for
you
know
to
to
match
the
fast
growth
of
a
large
County,
so
maybe
I
think
I
feel
like
the
school.
The
location
of
the
school
should
actually
match
the
population
distribution
of
those
counties
rather
than
moving
kids
from
one
place
to
another
and
I'll
cause.
You
know
more
burden
for
the
family
and
more
Transportation
problem.
X
Yeah
I
just
feel
like
it's
I
understand
it's
not
easy.
It's
not
easy
to
building.
You
know
build
new
schools
like
you
know
it
wasn't
and
require
more
funding
a
lot
of
planning,
but
I
feel
like
at
least
that's
a
long-term
thing
that
we
should
consider
yeah.
That's
that's
how
I
have
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Y
Y
Y
I've
been
there
since
1997.
I'm
dating
myself
now
but
1997,
it's
a
roller
coaster.
Sometimes
we
have
a
lot
of
students,
sometimes
the
enrollment's
down
a
little
bit
right
now
in
the
last
few
years.
It's
been
up.
Why?
Because
we're
building
on
this
side
of
town,
you
know,
and
it's
like
Newberry
Newberry
is
not
gonna
like
the
population
in
the
schools
is
not
going
to
die
down.
That's
there's
a
bunch
of
building
going
on.
So
what
do
we
do?
How
do
we
address
that?
Y
Well,
we
don't
take
Class,
Act
programs
and
magnets
that
are
really
building
these
students
up
for
success
in
college
and
in
careers
and
say:
oh,
let's
move
it,
that's
not
the
way
to
do
it.
It's
celebrate
that
we're
fantastic
celebrate
the
honors
and
the
accolades
that
these
students
are.
Are
earning
and
at
B
Halls
we
have
a
lot
of
accolades
and
we
have
a
lot
of
students
that
are
successful,
so
I
would
ask
you
please
come
visit
the
magnet
it
might
not
be
successful
somewhere
else,
just
like
it
wasn't
in
the
past.
Y
Z
Thank
you
for
providing
opportunity.
This
is
a
Victor
Guan
I'm
working
for
Victor
I
work
at
the
UF
I'm,
a
parental
Tucson.
The
first
one
is
at
the
pure
hole
and
the
second
one
I
hope
he
has
a
chance.
John,
Lincoln,
Middle
School,
so
for
things
like
I,
would
like
to
say
is
like,
as
a
parent
I'm,
very
happy
that
my
son
has
a
chance
to
take
the
program
that
he
wants
and
I'm
very
happy
to
deliver
them
to
school,
even
with
them
far
away.
Z
So
in
another
things,
like
my
understanding
as
a
parent,
I
live
here
for
14
years,
when
I
came
here,
one
thing
attracted
me
to
get
here
is
because
the
score
system
here,
because
I
know
from
my
colleagues
that
this
cancer
has
a
very
good
education
system,
especially
for
middle
school
and
high
school
students
and
I,
had
a
chance
to
work
in
California
like
for
Universal
California.
Z
So
my
bottom
line
here
is
I
won't
say,
is
like
I
supported
learning,
but
I
hope
the
magnetic
program
will
be
untouched
and
the
reason
for
that
is
I
talked
to
real
people,
different
people
from
a
country,
it's
very
normal
to
do
rezonium,
because
the
population,
especially
in
Florida
and
Southern
States,
but
usually
for
Most
states.
They
don't
make
the
mac
program
like
a
change,
because
the
purpose
of
medical
program
is
like
they
try
to
get
a
better
source
for
the
you
know
best.
Z
You
know
who
want
to
get
the
rigorous
programs.
Now
they
can
expand
the
program
from
like
a
you
know,
a
stem
field
or
can
be
Sports
and
each
School
how
its
own
criteria
and
own
favor
and
own.
Like
a
speech
specialty-
and
this
is
going
to
be
utilized
space
resource
another
size
like
I'm,
doing
research
and
operation,
let's
say,
I'm
sure
it's
if
it's
a
product
Mission.
As
you
know,
if
we
do
resources,
basically
we
don't
care
about
resource.
Z
Z
They
have
IB
program,
they
have
this
math
programs
and
otherwise.
So
this
takes
time
to
build
and
they
usually
they
make
it's
a
big,
stronger,
stronger.
And
if
you
want
to
expand
it
you're
still
reloading,
we
can
use
resource
to
build
other
problems
like
sports.
Another
thing
for
that
is
diversity,
because
many
programs,
because
have
kids
from
different
learnings
the
the
bad
thing
for
learning,
because
diversity,
because
some
areas
like
for
quite
because
of
housing
price
so
therefore
going
to
be
actually
a
hurt.
The
diversity
people
can
kill
each
other.
Thank
you.
AA
I
think
I'm
so
touched
for
all
the
parents
talking
about
this
and
before
I
come
here.
I
only
want
to
know
what's
the
reason
and
want
to
know
some
information,
but
after
that
I
I
forgot
to
introduce
myself
yeah
yeah
I'm
fun
I
have
a
seventh
grade,
kids
in
the
license
program
in
in
Lincoln
Middle
School.
AA
AA
AA
If
you
think
some
schools
have
the
low
endurance
and
we
can
put
some
like
the
that's-
when
parents
talk
about
that,
each
school
has
the
identity,
and
maybe
you
can
put
one
magnet
program
or
two
magnet
program
in
that
low
enrollment
school
and
and
also
from
the
talk
of
the
those
students
and
I,
didn't
talk
to
my
son
yet
and
he's
in
swimming
now.
So
so,
if
I
talk
to
him,
the
magnet
program
will
will
be
destroyed.
What
he
is
risk
I'm,
sorry,
he
must
say
it's
the
silly
things.
