BILL THAT PASSED BOTH CHAMBERS

CONSIDERATION AT THIS TIME.

01:47.066 --> 01:52.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
WE NEED TO HAVE A FUNDING

01:48.600 --> 01:53.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
FORMULA PASSED SO THAT OUR

01:50.366 --> 01:55.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
DISTRICTS CAN ACCESS THOSE

01:52.266 --> 01:57.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%

>> BRUCE LAW SHOULD HE SIGN IT?

01:55.466 --> 02:02.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%

01:57.100 --> 02:04.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
IS ADEQUATE AND EQUITABLE.

02:00.400 --> 02:05.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
AND DISTRICT 86 WE CAN MANAGE

02:02.633 --> 02:07.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THROUGH WHATEVER THE STATE DOES

02:04.566 --> 02:09.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR

02:05.900 --> 02:11.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE STUDENTS OF ILLINOIS THAT WE

02:07.666 --> 02:13.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
FINISH THIS.

SHOULD SIGN SB1 OR NOT, YES OR

>> HE SHOULD SIGN SOMETHING THAT

02:15.666 --> 02:22.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IS ADEQUATE AND EQUITABLE AND IF

02:18.500 --> 02:25.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IT PASSES THE TEST WHAT WE DO IN

02:20.766 --> 02:25.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
DISTRICT 86 WE LOOK AT THE

02:22.333 --> 02:27.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IMPACT OF LEGISLATION ON OUR

02:25.166 --> 02:29.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
STUDENTS.

02:25.533 --> 02:31.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
AND WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT

02:27.500 --> 02:32.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
SENATE BILL 1 BECAUSE WE

02:29.933 --> 02:35.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
ESTIMATE IT WOULD BE A REDUCTION

02:31.300 --> 02:36.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IN THE MONEY WE GET FROM THE

02:32.633 --> 02:38.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
STATE AND IT'S INADEQUATE TO PAY

02:35.100 --> 02:38.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION AND ALL

02:36.566 --> 02:40.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THE THINGS WE ARE REQUIRED TO

02:38.133 --> 02:42.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
PROVIDE.

02:38.666 --> 02:45.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS SOME

02:40.933 --> 02:47.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
SUPERINTENDENTS SAY THEIR

02:42.100 --> 02:50.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
FUNDING WILL GO UP SLIGHTLY?

02:45.466 --> 02:53.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
NOT IN YOUR CASE?

02:47.833 --> 02:56.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> ONCE THE LEVEL FUNDING IS

02:50.766 --> 03:00.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OVER, AND WE GO ON TO A MODEL IN

02:53.033 --> 03:01.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
WHICH THERE'S DIFFERENT

02:56.800 --> 03:02.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
VARIATION, WE WOULD HAVE ABOUT

03:00.166 --> 03:03.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
$1.4 MILLION LESS FROM THE

03:01.533 --> 03:04.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
STATE.

03:02.066 --> 03:06.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> JEFF CRAIG HOW MUCH OF YOUR

03:03.366 --> 03:07.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
BUDGET COMES FROM THE STATE?

03:04.633 --> 03:09.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> WE ARE ABOUT 45%.

03:06.866 --> 03:13.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
>> ABOUT 45%.

03:07.833 --> 03:15.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THAT IS HIGH BECAUSE THE AVERAGE

03:09.233 --> 03:18.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
IS ABOUT 25%.

03:13.266 --> 03:19.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
>> WE'RE 67% LOW INCOME.

03:15.766 --> 03:21.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
AND WE ARE ROUGHLY 13,000

03:18.400 --> 03:22.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT AND WE

03:19.700 --> 03:24.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
HAVE STUDENTS WITH A VARIETY OF

03:21.900 --> 03:27.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
NEEDS.

03:22.200 --> 03:28.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
SO WE ARE DEPENDENT ON THOSE

03:24.233 --> 03:31.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
NEEDS AND THOSE CATEGORY CAL

03:27.033 --> 03:31.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE BEEN

03:28.466 --> 03:32.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
ABLE TO REALIZE.

03:31.200 --> 03:34.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%

BRUCE HOW MUCH OF YOUR FUNDING

03:32.800 --> 03:40.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%

YOUR ENTITIES ANY MONEY?

03:48.633 --> 03:54.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
>> YES.

03:49.033 --> 03:55.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
ABOUT $1.6 MILLION.

03:52.233 --> 03:56.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%

HOW LONG WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO

03:56.700 --> 04:04.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
OPERATE WITHOUT A FUNDING

03:58.433 --> 04:06.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
AGREEMENT JEFF CRAIG?

ANY OF OUR WORKING CASH BONDS WE

04:09.633 --> 04:15.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%

OUR LOCAL TAXPAYERS.

04:42.900 --> 04:47.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
AND WE HAVE SOME MONEY IN

04:44.266 --> 04:49.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
RESERVE BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN

04:45.400 --> 04:50.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
ABLE TO MANAGE OUR MONEY.

OF BORROWING TO BANKS AND SCHOOL

05:15.266 --> 05:22.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%

05:39.466 --> 05:45.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IN A DIFFERENT POSITION THAN

05:40.966 --> 05:46.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
JEFF CRAIG'S.

05:41.966 --> 05:49.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WHAT KIND OF BUDGETARY CONCERNS

05:45.266 --> 05:50.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
DO YOU HAVE FOLLOWING PUBLIC

05:46.600 --> 05:53.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
DEBATE ABOUT THE STATE BUDGET

05:49.000 --> 05:54.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
AND EDUCATION FUNDING?

05:50.500 --> 05:56.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> WELL, DISTRICT 86 HAS A HIGH

05:53.466 --> 05:58.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
STANDARDS FOR EDUCATION.

05:54.500 --> 05:59.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
SO ALL THE MONEY THAT WE GET

05:56.533 --> 06:02.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
FROM WHATEVER SOURCE WE SPEND IT

05:58.300 --> 06:04.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
ON STUDENTS.

05:59.533 --> 06:06.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
SO ONE OF THE CONCERNS ANY

06:02.600 --> 06:07.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
REDUCTION WILL HAVE A

06:04.600 --> 06:09.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
CORRESPONDING CUT IN

06:06.933 --> 06:10.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
EXPENDITURES.

06:07.366 --> 06:12.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> WHY WOULD THAT BE IF YOU HAVE

06:09.733 --> 06:13.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
ENOUGH MONEY TO GET YOU THROUGH

06:10.866 --> 06:15.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
THE YEAR?

06:12.500 --> 06:16.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
>> WELL, FEW REASONS.

06:13.433 --> 06:18.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
FIRST OF ALL, ONCE THE RESERVES

06:15.300 --> 06:20.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
ARE SPENT THEY ARE SPENT THERE

06:16.500 --> 06:22.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IS NO PUTTING THEM BACK AND THAT

06:18.500 --> 06:24.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
CAN ONLY GO SO FAR.

06:20.233 --> 06:25.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND WE WOULDN'T I THINK IT'S BAD

06:22.366 --> 06:27.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
MANAGEMENT FOR US TO ENGAGE IN

06:24.533 --> 06:29.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
DEFICIT SPENDING WHICH IS WHAT

06:25.900 --> 06:32.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
WE HAVE TO DO TO SPEND OUR

06:27.900 --> 06:33.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
RESERVES THAT WOULD MEAN THAT

06:29.200 --> 06:35.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
OUR REVENUE IS NOT MATCHING OUR

06:32.133 --> 06:36.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
EXPENDITURES IT'S BETTER TO MAKE

06:33.233 --> 06:38.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SURE THAT OUR EXPENDITURES AND

06:35.933 --> 06:40.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
REVENUES MATCH.

06:36.766 --> 06:42.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
IF WE HAVE LESS IN REVENUE WE

06:38.733 --> 06:44.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HAVE TO HAVE FEWER EXPENDITURES.

06:40.933 --> 06:45.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> AND JEFF CRAIG YOU ARE HOPING

06:42.366 --> 06:46.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
NOT TO SPEND RESERVES.

06:44.300 --> 06:49.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
HAVE YOU CUT COSTS?

06:45.800 --> 06:52.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
>> WE HAVE.

06:46.866 --> 06:52.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
IN TWO YEARS WE REDUCED 5.7

06:49.333 --> 06:54.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
MILLION IN OUR DEPARTMENTAL

06:52.100 --> 06:57.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
BUDGETS.

06:52.433 --> 06:59.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
BUT WHEN WE HAVE TO REALIZE TENS

06:54.933 --> 07:00.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE CANNOT

06:57.633 --> 07:02.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
CONTINUE TO DO THAT THROUGH

06:59.433 --> 07:03.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
DEPARTMENTAL COSTS WITHOUT

07:00.933 --> 07:04.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IMPACTING STUDENTS AND STUDENT

07:02.933 --> 07:06.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
PROGRAMS.

07:03.300 --> 07:09.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN

07:04.600 --> 07:11.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT OR TO

07:06.300 --> 07:13.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IMPROVE TEST SCORES WITH THESE

07:09.300 --> 07:15.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
FURTHER SPENDING REDUCTIONS IF

07:11.600 --> 07:17.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
THEY WERE TO BECOME --

07:13.966 --> 07:18.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IF THESE WERE TO COME TO PASS?

07:15.766 --> 07:20.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> HERE IS HOW I WOULD RESPOND

07:17.166 --> 07:22.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
TO THAT.

07:18.600 --> 07:25.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WE NOT TO PAT OURSELVES ON THE

07:20.500 --> 07:27.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BACK BUT I THINK WE HAVE HAD A

07:22.500 --> 07:29.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
VERY STRONG PHILOSOPHY AND I

07:25.433 --> 07:31.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
THINK BRUCE HAS A SIMILAR

07:27.933 --> 07:33.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PHILOSOPHY THAT ANY CUTS WE WANT

07:29.633 --> 07:35.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
TO KEEP AS FAR AWAY FROM

07:31.800 --> 07:36.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
STUDENTS AS POSSIBLE.

07:33.100 --> 07:38.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
THAT IS WHAT WE WOULD DO AS

07:35.233 --> 07:40.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
DISTRICT LEADERS.

07:36.533 --> 07:43.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
IF THIS BUDGET IMPASSE OR

07:38.700 --> 07:45.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
FUNDING FORMULA IMPASSE

07:40.333 --> 07:45.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD WE MAY

07:43.466 --> 07:47.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
NOT BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO DO

07:45.233 --> 07:48.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
THAT.

07:45.533 --> 07:50.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
WE MAY HAVE TO MAKE DIRE

07:47.300 --> 07:52.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
DECISIONS ON PROGRAMMING THAT

07:48.866 --> 07:53.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
MAY IMPACT OUR STUDENTS IN A

07:50.300 --> 07:55.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
NEGATIVE WAY.

07:52.000 --> 07:56.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> AND YOUR SITUATION BRUCE LAW

07:53.366 --> 07:59.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ARE YOU CONCERNED ABOUT THE

07:55.033 --> 08:00.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
POTENTIAL IMPACT ON STUDENT

07:56.633 --> 08:03.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
ACHIEVEMENT?

07:59.833 --> 08:05.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%
>> ABSOLUTELY.

08:00.400 --> 08:06.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
BECAUSE IN SCHOOLS WE WANT TO DO

08:03.166 --> 08:08.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
AS EDUCATORS EVERYTHING WE CAN

08:05.033 --> 08:08.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
TO HELP STUDENTS FIND THEIR

08:06.766 --> 08:09.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
IDEAL FUTURE AND THAT COSTS

08:08.433 --> 08:11.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:15%
MONEY.

08:08.733 --> 08:12.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
THE QUESTION THAT WE ARE

08:09.966 --> 08:14.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
STARTING TO HAVE WITH OUR BOARD

08:11.200 --> 08:15.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND COMMUNITY IS WHAT IS IT THAT

08:12.566 --> 08:16.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
THE SCHOOLS THE COMMUNITIES WANT

08:14.200 --> 08:18.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
FOR THEIR SCHOOLS?

08:15.200 --> 08:20.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR US TO

08:16.566 --> 08:22.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
OFFER THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE

08:18.066 --> 08:24.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
TO STUDENTS IF WE HAVE LESS

08:20.933 --> 08:25.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
REVENUE TO DO IT.

08:22.000 --> 08:27.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT

08:24.400 --> 08:27.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
THERE'S NOT IN YOUR DISTRICT

08:25.966 --> 08:29.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THERE IS NOT A LEVEL OF CONCERN

08:27.366 --> 08:30.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
ABOUT IT.

08:27.900 --> 08:31.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
HAVE YOU BEEN RECEIVING CALLS

08:29.200 --> 08:33.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
ABOUT THIS ISSUE?

08:30.433 --> 08:35.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
>> I DON'T KNOW THAT PEOPLE

08:31.766 --> 08:37.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS AT STAKE.

08:33.766 --> 08:38.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WHEN THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT

08:35.500 --> 08:41.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
PROPERTY TAX FREEZE NO ONE WAS

08:37.133 --> 08:42.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
TALKING ABOUT A PERMANENT

08:38.800 --> 08:44.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
REDUCTION IN REVENUES TO SCHOOL

08:41.066 --> 08:45.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
DISTRICTS IF THERE WAS A

08:42.500 --> 08:46.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
PROPERTY TAX FREEZE.

08:44.033 --> 08:47.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
I DON'T THINK PEOPLE UNDERSTAND

08:45.933 --> 08:49.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
THAT.

08:46.433 --> 08:50.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
AS I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE

08:47.733 --> 08:52.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
PEOPLE THERE IS A LOT OF CONCERN

08:49.233 --> 08:53.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME WE

08:50.933 --> 08:55.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WANT THE LEVEL OF SCHOOL AND THE

08:52.533 --> 08:57.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
LEVEL OF EDUCATION THAT YOU HAVE

08:53.966 --> 08:59.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
BEEN PROVIDING IN THE PAST.

08:55.466 --> 09:01.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND MY POINT IS I DON'T KNOW HOW

08:57.166 --> 09:02.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT IF OUR

08:59.133 --> 09:04.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WE HAD THE REDUCTIONS FROM THE

09:01.200 --> 09:05.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
PROPERTY TAX FREEZE.

09:02.500 --> 09:06.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
>> AND ARE YOU HEARING SUPPORT

09:04.066 --> 09:09.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
FOR A PROPERTY TAX FREEZE?

09:05.833 --> 09:11.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:32.5%
>> OF COURSE.

09:06.700 --> 09:13.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WHO WANTS TO PAY HIGHER TAXES?

09:09.200 --> 09:14.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IF YOU ASK PEOPLE DO YOU WANT TO

09:11.166 --> 09:16.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:40%
PAY FEWER TAXES.

09:13.666 --> 09:17.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:50%
>> THE CONNECTION --

09:14.833 --> 09:18.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
>> THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE

09:16.300 --> 09:20.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
SCHOOLS WE ARE WILLING TO

09:17.400 --> 09:21.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SUPPORT AND THE SCHOOLS WE WANT

09:18.700 --> 09:22.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
AND HOW WE ARE GOING TO DO THAT.

09:20.566 --> 09:23.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> JEFF CRAIG WHAT ARE YOU

09:21.633 --> 09:25.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
HEARING FROM PEOPLE IN YOUR

09:22.866 --> 09:27.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:25%
COMMUNITY?

09:23.266 --> 09:28.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
>> YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE

09:25.566 --> 09:30.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
EXPECTATIONS LIKE WE DO FOR ALL

09:27.066 --> 09:31.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
OF OUR DISTRICTS.

09:28.333 --> 09:34.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
OUR PARENTS WANT THE BEST FOR

09:30.300 --> 09:35.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
THEIR KIDS.

09:31.600 --> 09:37.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
AND THOSE SERVICES AND THOSE

09:34.633 --> 09:38.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
QUALITIES OF EDUCATION THAT WE

09:35.600 --> 09:40.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
ARE ABLE TO OFFER THEY DO NOT

09:37.433 --> 09:42.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
WANT TO SEE THAT DECLINE.

09:38.933 --> 09:45.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SO I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS TO

09:40.400 --> 09:47.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
BE ABLE TO SHARE WITH THEM WHAT

09:42.333 --> 09:49.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE POLICIES AND THE LAWS HAVE

09:45.833 --> 09:51.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BEEN ACTIVE IN SPRINGFIELD AND

09:47.833 --> 09:52.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
HOW THOSE SPECIFICALLY IMPACT

09:49.933 --> 09:54.700 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THE WAY WE ARE ABLE TO FOSTER

09:51.400 --> 09:56.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
EDUCATION IN OUR DISTRICT AND

09:52.566 --> 09:58.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THAT IS A TOUGH CONNECTION TO

09:54.700 --> 10:00.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
MAKE BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE IT'S

09:56.233 --> 10:02.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
SO FAR AWAY AND LEGISLATORS WILL

09:58.866 --> 10:03.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
DO THEIR THING AND WHETHER IT

10:00.100 --> 10:05.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
COMES TO THE BRINK OF CRISIS AND

10:02.100 --> 10:06.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
MAKE THEIR DECISIONS THAT SEEMS

10:03.600 --> 10:09.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
LIKE IT'S SPRINGFIELD IT DOESN'T

10:05.200 --> 10:11.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
IMPACT OUR COMMUNITY.

10:06.233 --> 10:11.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
AND PART OF OUR CHALLENGES AS

10:09.066 --> 10:13.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
DISTRICT LEADERS IS TO MAKE THAT

10:11.366 --> 10:13.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:27.5%
CONNECTION.

10:11.766 --> 10:15.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> DO YOU THINK YOU ARE IN

10:13.233 --> 10:16.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:17.5%
CRISIS?
