A test to what a stand up guy he is: my 15 year old son idolizes him. When he heard AB was coming, he was estatic, except he knew not to ask for tix as his dad has been out of work and we cant afford stuff like this. I wrote AB care of his NY restaurant, letting him know a little about my son. His assistant wrote back they are giving him tickets and he'll meet him after show. I hope he's as much fun to listen to Friday night as your interview. Beyond excited!

several documents have been made available to the public on the CMP website.

This whole thing is a lose-lose situation. I am friends with a family that has a child at CMP, and this next campus will be the 3rd for their child. And she’s only in the 3rd grade. They moved to the Mid-town area because they work there and wanted to be able to bike/take public transport to work/school/home. They will no longer be able to do this because of the proposed new location. This will also limit the number of hours they can volunteer at the school (and CMP is largely based on parent volunteers), because the further distance means it will be harder to volunteer before work, or on their lunch hours. So far, the downtown CMP campus has offered little continuity in their child’s education. My kids in a public school lose too. Someone at SCUSD should have known that Marshall was unsafe BEFORE they allowed the move. Now, the very limited resources SCUSD has will be spent to make amends to CMP parents. My son’s school can’t afford buses for field trips and each year fewer students from other areas are allowed back because there are few buses available to get them to school and home every day. But SCUSD will be paying to transport CMP kids to school and back for the rest of the school year. They will reimburse CMP for money spent on remodeling Marshall. They will be paying to move all CMP belongings to make the transition as smooth as possible. It’s truly great they are stepping up and helping CMP because it appears this was all caused by a poor job done by SCUSD in the first place. But all the same, the school district is falling apart and needs every penny it has for the children it is already supposed to be serving. After this big snafu, it’s not hard to see why the district is in this state.
