want restrooms that are near to our school, that are near to our classrooms. Please let us <br />[inaudible] our school. Mahalo. Fourth grade students of the Volcano School of Arts & <br />Sciences. <br />CLARKSON: Thank you. Any questions for this testifier? <br />RAFFIPIY: I don't have a question, but I want to comment. I'm really glad that she talked <br />about the bathroom `cause I went to that site where they have tents, porta johns, and I can just <br />imagine when it's raining and it's really cold up there, and the kids have to run across the field or <br />at the grass to go use the porta johns, so you know, I really commend you for making that point <br />and hit a home run. Thank you. <br />CLARKSON: There being no further questions, we'll proceed. You may be seated. We'll <br />proceed with the next two testifiers, Julia Williams and Star Carlin. Would you please come <br />forward? <br />CARLIN: Julia is not here, but I could read her written testimony. <br />HALL: No, it's okay. We have it. <br />CLARKSON: Yeah, we have it. We have it. <br />CARLIN: You have it, okay. <br />CLARKSON: Would you raise your right hand, please? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth <br />on this matter before the Planning Commission today? <br />CARLIN: I do. <br />CLARKSON: Please introduce yourself and then proceed. <br />CARLIN: Aloha, my name is Star Carlin. I have been a teacher at the Volcano School since it <br />first began in 2001. When we began, we were in rental housing, and our children sat on carpet <br />squares on the floor and they wrote on clipboards, and that was until we could get into our <br />facility at the Old Volcano Road. <br />Facilities have been a long and constant struggle for our school, and it's not really where I'd like <br />our administrators to have to put their attention. It's not where I'd like to have teachers to put <br />their attention. Some teachers have to keep things in plastic boxes because of their classroom <br />floods on a regular basis. It's, it's time for our students to have a real school, and please do what <br />you can to make that happen for us. Mahalo. <br />CLARKSON: Any questions? If not, thank you. Is there anyone else who would like to testify <br />on this agenda item? If not, Commissioners, I need a motion to close public testimony. <br />RAFFIPIY: I move, Mr. Chairman, that we close the public testimony. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />9 <br />
