          SOLD. 
          KNOWING THAT YOU WILL BE ASKING AND ANNOUNCING WHAT THE PARENTS', UH, UNION ARE ASKING FOR, UM, EXCUSE ME. 
          THE TEACHER'S UNION IS ASKING FOR IT. 
          I WENT TO MY SON'S SCHOOL, AND THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MIDDLE SCHOOLS IN THE AREA. 
          AND THE TEACHERS WERE SAYING THAT IT IS A HUNDRED TO 81% A, B 70 TO 81%, C 60 TO 41%, AND D IS 40 TO 21%, BASICALLY 20% AND BELOW IS AN F. 
          AND I REMEMBER THAT WHEN MY CHILDREN, MY OLDER CHILDREN WERE AT SCHOOL 50% AND BEFORE BELOW IT WOULD BE F THEREFORE, YOU ARE LYING TO OUR CHILDREN. 
          NOW STOP LYING TO OUR CHILDREN AND STOP AGREEING WITH THIS MEDIOCRITY POLITICS OR POLICY THAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR. 
          IN THE CONTRARY, YOU'RE LOWERING THE STANDARDS. 
          WHY? BECAUSE YOU ARE APPROVING THIS OR YOU'RE NOT REALIZING. 
          WHY ARE YOU SITTING HERE? DON'T PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW. 
          HONESTLY, IT SADDENS ME KNOWING THAT YOU'RE LYING TO MY CHILD TELLING HIM HE'S HA HE'S, HE WILL BE, HE WILL BE OBTAINING THE GRADE OF A B WHEN HE'S, AND YOU'RE LYING TO THE COMMUNITY AND THEY'RE NOT PROGRESSING. 
          UH, MS. MARIA DE ORTIZ, I SEE YOU'RE OUT THERE. 
          PLEASE COME ON UP. 
          MS. ORTIZ GONNA SPEAK IN SPANISH, SO IF YOU'RE USING THE HEADPHONES, PLEASE KEEP THEM ON. 
          YEAH. 
          GOOD MORNING TO ALL. 
          MY NAME IS MARIA DEI ORTIZ. 
          AND WELL, YES, OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL ALWAYS HEAR FROM ME, EDUCATION IS NOT A NEGOTIATION BECAUSE THE ONLY THING THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE TO SUCCEED IN LIFE IS TO HAVE A QUALITY EDUCATION IN WHICH YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OF, OR YOU ARE NOT SATISFYING THE NECESSITY AND THE COMPETITIVE NECESSITIES OF OUR STUDENTS. 
          IN THE CONTRARY, YOU ARE DISTURBING THEIR DREAMS BECAUSE OF THE THE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING. 
          HONESTLY, I WANNA TELL EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, ESPECIALLY THE SUPERINTENDENT, THAT THERE IS A GOAL CALLED ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. 
          ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. 
          WHAT IS EXCELLENCE TO YOU? TO HAVE TEACHERS THAT ARE NOT LOCATED THE APPROPRIATE PLACE. 
          HAVING, UH, BAD CAMPUSES. 
          THAT'S ANOTHER DEFICIENCY. 
          AND GRADUATE CHILDREN WITH A D'S. 
          THAT'S ANOTHER DEFICIENCY. 
          IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE CALLING EXCELLENCE OR DO YOU NOT KNOW? WHAT EXCELLENCE MEANS FOR ME IS FA IT'S ACADEMIC FALSENESS. 
          AND YOU CAN'T CONTINUE TO STACK OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION, NEGOTIATE WITH THE UNIONS, BUT WITH RESULTS. 
          BECAUSE TEACHERS CONTINUE TO GIVE A MYTHOLOGY THAT SYMPTOMS DOESN'T ALLOW OUR CHILDREN TO LEARN. 
          IT IS VERY LOW. 
          AND THEREFORE YOU NEED TO HAVE INNOVATION. 
          YOU NEED TO HAVE CREATION, AND YOU NEED TO HAVE A PROJECTION TO WHERE CHILDREN EXPLORE THEIR POTENTIALS. 
          IT IS NOT A GOOD TEACHER IF HE GIVES ENOUGH FS. 
          IN THE CONTRARY, IT'S A TEACHER WHO SHOWS THE CHIL THE CHILD OR THE STUDENT TO HAVE CONTENT. 
          THIS IS WHY YOU WHAT YOU SHOULD NEGOTIATE. 
          WHEN BURBANK WAS A FOCUS SCHOOL, IT WAS A FOCUS SCHOOL BECAUSE IT WAS A TRASH SCHOOL OF L-A-U-S-T. 
          ALL THE TEACHERS THAT WORKED THAT DID A BAD JOB AT OTHER SCHOOLS WERE SENT THERE. 
          THEY HAD TO WORK WITH ELECTRIC AGREEMENT SO THAT EVERYONE CAN REAPPLY. 
          AND 85% WERE NEW. 
          AND ALSO WITH THE CURRICULUM OF INSTRUCTIONS, THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD NEGOTIATE. 
          QUALITY OF EDUCATION. 
          THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT DAY. 
          THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. 
          OKAY, THE NEXT SPEAKER IS MARCELLA GARCIA. 
          MARCELLA GARCIA SIGNED UP TO SPEAK REMOTELY, BUT SHE'S NOT ONLINE.
