1:25:48
Where these schools will located.
1:25:50

Dan Weisberg
1:25:51

1:25:52
Do we put up that map?
1:25:53
We we have a
Rita C. Joseph
1:25:54
Oh, yeah.
1:25:54
Teach him today.
1:25:55
Okay.
1:25:56
Yeah.
1:25:57
Alright, Nathaniel.
Dan Weisberg
1:25:58
We became prepared.
Rita C. Joseph
1:25:59
I see.
1:26:00
Who's teaching?
1:26:02
Let's go.
1:26:03
It's alright.
1:26:06
Okay.
1:26:08
You could present it and let me know.
1:26:14
Okay.
1:26:18
How many heights High need schools have the space today to do this.
1:26:21
So
Nina Kubota
1:26:27
sorry, there was confusion here.
1:26:29
Thank you for that question.
1:26:30
So I think maybe what's not clear on that chart is by district correct.
1:26:36
So the number
Rita C. Joseph
1:26:37
You can go on point to us.
1:26:39
Whatever you need to show us, we're here
Nina Kubota
1:26:40
for.
1:26:41
No.
1:26:41
I'm kidding.
1:26:42
I'm it I don't think it it has the chart that I'm looking at here.
1:26:46
There is another one.
Gale Brewer
1:26:47
The district chart.
Nina Kubota
1:26:48
Can you show the district?
1:26:51
We don't usually do charts.
1:26:53
As you can see,
Rita C. Joseph
1:26:56
I like team effort.
1:26:57
Go ahead.
Nina Kubota
1:26:58
Thank you.
1:26:58
Thank you.
1:26:59
Yeah.
1:26:59
He's next.
1:27:00
So so so the darker shading shows districts 2, 20, 24, 25, 26, 28, 31.
1:27:08
So this is the number of classrooms needed by district kid that that is the darkest red here, meeting 200 to 371 classrooms.
1:27:18
Mhmm.
1:27:18
And then as the shades get later, it goes 100 to 199, 50 to 99, 10 to 49, and then 1 to 9.
1:27:26
And so those districts, and I think Emma mentioned it in her testimony, the the the districts that are most in compliance and need the fewest are 7, 16, 18, and 23.
1:27:40
So I I think this chart tries to reflect it as well.
1:27:45
I think also on this chart, what's what's important to note are the schools that are that need the most number of classrooms.
1:27:54
And you can see that it's sort of Fort Hamilton High school, Francis Lewis, James Madison, Midwood High School.
1:28:01
And so we've analyzed this.
1:28:03
And and of the top 5th the schools needing the most classrooms, I will say that there are only 10 in the that are in the highest need index and only 3 in the highest need index.
1:28:17
So I think that that's sort of the analysis that we're putting together as reflected in this chart.
Rita C. Joseph
1:28:23
No.
1:28:23
That's the area you're also gonna build out of repurpose.
1:28:26
That's what you're saying.
1:28:27
You wanna repurpose some of the space because those are high need performance schools as well that's gonna need more eat.
