children in a school room should have automatic sprinklers and additional safety devices <br />available, it has to for public schools. If this learning center or tutoring center operates from 8 to <br />4 and has a full-time staff for students, then it’s a school and must be under the authority of the <br />Board of Education or the State Board of Education. When you have 16 students who are <br />ostensibly being home schooled, home schooling means that the parents are responsible for <br />educating their children and that they will teach them a minimum of three hours a day. That’s on <br />the Board of Education’s website. If you take your kids to a tutoring center, drop them off and <br />allow them to be taught there, it’s a school. I believe that this is, in effect, a school rather than a <br />tutoring center. I have no objections whatsoever Ms. Campbell tutoring students in her home, <br />but the hours of her operation preclude public school students from being able to attend most of <br />the time, and the public schools do not support private tutoring centers by sending students to <br />them. It was my understanding as well that the Board voted to have this matter referred to the <br />Planning Commission. Was that incorrect? <br />WATANABE: This is the Planning Commission. <br />MATLAGE: I mean, but the Use Committee, never mind. <br />WATANABE: I’m not certain I understand. <br />MATLAGE: Did the Board not earlier vote to refer this to someone other than the <br />Board as a whole for review? <br />WATANABE: No. <br />MATLAGE: No, okay. <br />WATANABE: No, we decided to work it on our own. <br />MATLAGE: Okay, that’s the end of my testimony. <br />WATANABE: Do we have any questions for Mr. Matlage? Yes. <br />IWASHITA: Can you just clarify for me again where you live in proximity to this <br />property? <br />MATLAGE: I live in the property directly adjacent to the home, directly behind it. <br />IWASHITA: Okay. So you’re Mr. Kaiser’s neighbor? <br />MATLAGE: I’m Mr. Kaiser’s neighbor and Ms. Campbell’s neighbor, yes. <br />IWASHITA: Okay, thank you. <br />WATANABE: Any further questions? Okay, thank you for your testimony. Okay, it’s <br />approximately 12 o’clock. Why don’t we break for lunch and say we’ll be back at 1:30. <br />PUBLIC: Was it 12:30? <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />25 <br /> <br />
