    Thank you for all the effort you have put into writing this statement. As a parent of a 1st grader at Peralta and former public school teacher, I support the statement. I want to especially emphasize #6 and #9. My hope is that through this budget and restructuring process we can create systems that would support and retain more internal highers, like school physiologist. On-sight, local staff members are better able to support our students and school communities as a whole v. contractors who often live in other states.

    I also want to express my support for #12 and any additional language that would center and shield schools with the highest needs from site-based budget cuts.

    At the last meeting, someone asked (of the Board/District) for a criteria of what a good school should have, so we can have a clear foundation of what is needed at a budget level to support ALL schools and their students, recognizing that each school made need additional supports beyond the base level.
