[6. PUBLIC HEARING]

[00:05:02]

THE DISTRICT STAFF ISN'T RELEASING THEM, THEY'RE NOT BEING POSTED ON THE WEBSITE. AND WHEN THE WHEN THE PARENTS AND THE COMMUNITY ARE EMAILING, I DON'T GET EMAILS ANYMORE. THE DISTRICT LCAP WAS POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE BUT NOT ATTACHED IN TODAY'S BOARD MEETING AGENDA, YOU MAKE US HUNT FOR THE INFORMATION. YOU MAKE US HUNT FOR THIS INFORMATION THAT WE'VE BEEN ASKING FOR. FOR BUDGETS, PROGRAM DESIGN AND ALL THESE RUSHED PROGRAMS. AS SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE SAME INFORMATION. THEY GET CUT OFF, THEY GET DISRESPECTED. IT'S LIKE A BIG OLD POWER TRIP. YOU NEED TO ACT LIKE ADULTS. WHY DO YOU MAKE US HUNT FOR THIS INFORMATION? THANK YOU, THANK YOU. PATRICIA. ANITA. HI THIS BOARD VOTED THREE TWO AT LAST MONTH'S LAST MINUTE SPECIAL MEETING TO CONTRACTUALLY BIND P USD TO SEVERAL COSTS RELATED TO THE UNIVERSAL SPORTS INSTITUTE THAT ARE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS AND RECKLESSLY WASTEFUL. ONE SUCH ITEM, ONE SUCH ITEM. ARTICLE TWO METABOLIC TESTING LAB COSTS $61,295.45, WHICH IS A MONUMENTAL WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY. THE SAME RESULTS COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED AT NUMEROUS OFF DISTRICT SITE LOCATIONS IN THE AREA AT A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED COST, USUALLY BETWEEN ONLY 60 TO $90 PER TEST. IS THE DISTRICT PLANNING TO BILL MEDI-CAL OR OTHER PERSONAL INSURANCE FOR THESE COSTS? FOR THAT MIGHT ALSO REDUCE COSTS. ARE YOU HIRING NEW STAFF TRAINED TO RUN THESE TESTS? IF SO, HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY THAT WITH THE IMPENDING TEMP TEACHER CUTS TO BALANCE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET? ADDITIONALLY, THE DISTRICT HAS AGREED IN THE SAME CONTRACT TO PAY THE TRAINING LAB A LICENSE FEE OF $80,000. AND THAT'S JUST FOR THE FIRST YEAR. BUT THAT FEE HAS TO BE RENEWED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT WILL ALSO GO UP EVERY YEAR, OR AT LEAST FROM THE SECOND YEAR ON. EVEN IF YOU CAN MEET AND ENROLL, THE GOAL OF 200 STUDENTS. THAT LICENSING FEE ALONE, DIVIDED OVER SAID 200 STUDENTS, AMOUNTS TO $400 PER STUDENT ON TAXPAYERS DIMES AND PYLUSD FAMILIES WHOSE STUDENTS WILL NOT BENEFIT AT ALL FROM THE UC. EVERY ITEM PRICE IN THE CONTRACT IS GROSSLY INFLATED, AND THAT IS COMING FROM OTHER PROFESSIONAL GYM OWNERS IN THE AREA WHO HAVE LOOKED OVER AND REVIEWED THE PROPOSED CONTRACT SERVICES, CONTRACT OF SERVICES AND ITEMS TO BE PURCHASED. AND BY THE WAY, THE TRAINING LAB REMAINS SUSPENDED BY THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD. AND I ALSO CHECKED IN WITH THE PLACENTIA CITY HALL TO LEARN THAT IT'S NOT EVEN REGISTERED TO DO BUSINESS IN PLACENTIA. WHAT KIND OF DUE DILIGENCE AND COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON SHOPPING DOES ALL THIS REFLECT? NONE.

THANK YOU. JOANNE CHANG. WHY WHY HAS THE RESERVES FUND BALANCE? AS SEEN ON PAGE 39 OF THE PILE USD 20 2324 BUDGET INCREASED FROM APPROXIMATELY $43 MILLION FOR THE YEAR ENDING 2020 21 TO $92.3 MILLION FOR THE YEAR ENDING 20 2223 TO WHAT IS PROJECTED TO BE $122.9 MILLION

[00:10:10]

IN LIGHT OF THIS, THE BUDGET THIS YEAR SHOWS OVER AN 80% REDUCTION IN MONIES GOING. FOR JUST THAT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE WORN OUT EQUIPMENT. WHY IS THAT? THIS IS YET AGAIN ANOTHER BUDGET BEING USED AS A SAVINGS ACCOUNT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE STUDENTS CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN THE DISTRICT. ADDITIONALLY, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE $2,259,752 ENDING 20 2223 BUDGET BALANCE IN THE CHILD NUTRITION, KITCHEN INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRAINING FUNDS, THIS MONEY SEEMED TO HAVE JUST DISAPPEARED. OUT OF THE 20 2324 BUDGET. IT MAKES IT APPEAR THAT THERE IS MONEY BEING HIDDEN. AND WHY ARE WE NOT USING IT FOR PRE-IDENTIFIED DESIGNATED NEEDS? THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. SEEING THAT THERE'S NO MORE SPEAKERS, I'M GOING TO DECLARE THIS PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 5:14 P.M. OUR NEXT PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD RELATIVE TO ADOPTION OF THE 2024 2025 LOCAL CONTROL AND ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCES. I'M GOING TO DECLARE THIS HEARING OPEN AT 5:15 P.M. AND WE HAVE ONE SPEAKER, PATRICIA HONZO. THIS IS REGARDING THE LCAP FOR THE COMPUTER SCIENCE CONVERSION SCHOOL, LOCATED AT BERNARDO YORBA MIDDLE SCHOOL. THE PROJECT TO TEACH COMPUTER SCIENCE BY TURNING ONE MIDDLE SCHOOL INTO A CONVERSION CHARTER CONTROLLED BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, IS ONE FORM OF LOOSENING REGULATIONS AND OVERSIGHT. DURING AN APRIL 2024 VIDEO RANT BY TRUSTEE LEANDRA BLADES ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SHE USED THE TERMS LESS COMPLIANCE AND THEY'LL HAVE FREEDOM TO DO IT OUR WAY. I HAPPEN TO LIKE THE CODE ACCESS TO EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL. I LIKE LAWS AND I LIKE REGULATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH MY TAX DOLLARS. THIS LCAP DOCUMENT EXCLUDES FINANCIAL DATA FOR THE BERNARDO YORBA LINDA COMPUTER SCIENCE SCHOOL. THIS IS POORLY DONE, AND IT'S NOT UP TO PAR WITH WHAT I EXPECT FROM MY SCHOOL DISTRICT. IT'S INSULTING TO US THAT YOU WANT TO ROLL OUT A COMPUTER SCIENCE SCHOOL WITHOUT DISCLOSING ITS OWN BUDGET. TODAY AND HOPEFULLY IN THE NEAR FUTURE, YOU WILL DISCLOSE ITS OWN BUDGET FOR THIS YEAR FOR 20 2425 AND PROJECTIONS FOR THE FUTURE OF THE PLACENTIA SCHOOL DISTRICT OFFICE HAS LET ME DOWN, BECAUSE THESE BUDGETS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED BY PROJECT BY SCHOOL SITE. MOST ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS GET ABOUT 50,000 $50,000 TO OPERATE THEIR EXPENSES BY TOILET PAPER, BY PRINTER PAPER. AND THEN I HEAR THAT BERNARDO, YORBA LINDA'S NEW PRINCIPAL, IS GOING TO GET $1 MILLION TO SPEND ON ONE SCHOOL SITE. THE BERNARDO YORBA LINDA LCAP WAS POSTED ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE AND NOT ATTACHED TO

[00:15:04]

THANK YOU. PATRICIA SEEING WE HAVE NO MORE SPEAKERS, I'M GOING TO CLOSE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AT 517. A PUBLIC HEARING WILL BE HELD RELATIVE TO THE ADOPTION OF THE 2024 TO 2025 PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE. I'M DECLARING THIS OPEN AT 5:17 P.M, AND I'M ALSO GOING TO CLOSE IT AT 5:17 P.M, SEEING AS WE HAVE NO SPEAKERS, THIS WILL MOVE US INTO

[7. PUBLIC COMMENT]

[00:20:03]

THAT'S ON PAGE 608. IT IS SAD TO WITNESS IN THE LAST THREE YEARS, THE EXODUS OF GOOD TEACHERS AND THE EXODUS OF PRINCIPALS, THE PRINCIPAL AT WOODROW ELEMENTARY, YORBA LINDA HIGH SCHOOL, THE PRINCIPAL AT EL CAMINO, THEY'RE LEAVING AND THEY'RE GOING TO NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHICH ARE BENEFITING FROM OUR TALENT. AND SO THIS BOARD NEEDS TO BE RESPECTFUL TO EACH OTHER, CONDUCT BUSINESS IN A TRANSPARENT FASHION, AND HAVE DISCUSSION, HAVE CONVERSATIONS, DON'T JUST SHUT DOWN EACH OTHER AND TELL THEM, OH, WE'LL GET IT TO YOU LATER. AND THEN NEVER FOLLOW THROUGH. THESE TACTICS ARE UNPROFESSIONAL AND POOR ETHICS. SO AGAIN, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BE MORE RESPONSIBLE AT THE CALL. FOLLOW THE BROWN ACT. STOP TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL BOARD BUSINESS ON VIDEO RANTS OR VIDEO PROGRAMS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. LINDA MANION. LINDA MANION, PRESIDENT OF APPLE. AND AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING, I MENTIONED THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE DONATING MONEY TO THE UNIFIED DANCE. AND SO I DO HAVE A CHECK TONIGHT, ON BEHALF OF THE ASSOCIATION OF PLACENTIA LINDA EDUCATORS, I'M PROUD TO DONATE $1,662 TO YORBA LINDA MIDDLE SCHOOL TO SUPPORT THE ANNUAL UNIFIED DANCE. OUR MEMBERS, THE PYLUSD TEACHERS, WERE AWARDED THIS MONEY FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING REPRESENTATION AT THE ANAHEIM DUCKS EDUCATOR NIGHT. THE UNIFIED DANCE INCLUDES MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN SPECIAL AND GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSES ACROSS THE DISTRICT. THIS EVENT SERVES AS AN INITIATIVE FOSTERING UNITY AND INCLUSIVITY AMONG THE STUDENT BODY. STUDENTS ENJOYED THE MUSIC PLAYED BY DJ DIMOND AND ACTIVITIES ARE FACILITATED BY PEER LEADERS FROM ASP WEB YEARBOOK, UNIFIED AND ADVANCED ART AND GEAR UP ACTIVITIES INCLUDE FACE PAINTING, BALLOON ARTISTRY, CARNIVAL STYLE GAMES, AND MUCH, MUCH MORE. APPLE IS PROUD AND EXCITED TO SUPPORT THIS AMAZING EVENT WHERE EVERY STUDENT'S UNIQUE STRENGTHS AND ABILITIES ARE VALUED AND PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHINE IN A FUN FILLED ATMOSPHERE OF INCLUSION. THANK YOU. NEXT IS GLORIA JOHNSON AND THEN AFTER GLORIA WILL BE SAM MILOVICH ANGELA EILERS, AND DAVID PETERSON. GLORIA JOHNSON, SIXTH GRADE TEACHER. I STAND HERE IN DEFENSE OF MYSELF, AND 95% OF THE TEACHERS IN PILL TO SAY WE ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THE MAFIA OR ANY OTHER CRIME SYNDICATES. I QUESTION WHY THIS LANGUAGE IS STILL ALLOWED WITHIN THIS BODY WHEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE A CIVILITY POLICY. WE ARE STILL PROFESSIONAL EDUCATORS WITH MULTIPLE COLLEGE DEGREES, DECADES OF CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE, AND COUNTLESS HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. TEACHERS WHO ARE UNION MEMBERS ADVOCATE FOR WORKING CONDITIONS BECAUSE THEY IMPACT STUDENT LEARNING CONDITIONS. WHEN TEACHERS ARE SUPPORTED, WE PROVIDE BETTER INSTRUCTION AND FOSTER A POSITIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. APPLE WORKS UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF CTA AND NEA IN ALL, THREE ASSOCIATIONS SHARE THE COMMON VISION OF BUILDING GREAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO PROVIDE FREE, UNIVERSAL AND QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL STUDENTS, WHICH IS THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. IT'S BEEN SAID THAT SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE IN DANGER BECAUSE OF US. WRONG THE UNION WAS HERE WHEN WE WERE A

[00:25:06]

TEACHERS PUT KIDS FIRST. IT'S JUST WHAT WE DO. THANK YOU. MY NAME IS SAM REVICH. I'M A RETIRED HISTORY TEACHER AND ACADEMIC DECATHLON COACH FROM VALENCIA HIGH SCHOOL. RECENTLY, ACOLYTES FROM THE CURRENT BOARD MAJORITY ACOLYTES FOR THE CURRENT BOARD MAJORITY, SPECIFICALLY NANCY REICHEL COMPLETELY FAILED IN THEIR ATTEMPT TO USE THE 2018 US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT COLLEGE READINESS INDEX TO SHOW HOW POORLY PREVIOUS SUPERINTENDENTS PREPARED PERFORMED IN PREPARING OUR STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE. FOR ONE, THEY DID NOT TAKE THE TROUBLE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE INDEX IS ACTUALLY MEASURING. MORE DISTURBINGLY, BY THAT VERY MEASURE, SUPERINTENDENT CHERNISS IS PERFORMING ABYSMALLY. IN 2018, THE COLLEGE, THE COLLEGE READINESS INDEX FOR THE PYLUSD, WAS ACTUALLY QUITE GOOD. IN THAT YEAR, THE NUMBER STOOD AT 46.3.

BY COMPARISON, THE CURRENT INDEX NUMBER FOR THE HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IRVINE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT IS 40.8. FOR FULLERTON, IT IS 31.4, CLAREMONT, 30.6 AND TUSTIN 26.9. IN 2018, THE PYLUSD THUS STOOD AMONG THE MOST HIGHLY RATED DISTRICTS IN ORANGE COUNTY . CONTRAST THAT WITH TODAY, THE CURRENT BOARD HAS OVERSEEN A 52% DECLINE IN THIS INDEX. IT HAS FALLEN FROM 46.3 UNDER SUPERINTENDENT ELLSASSER TO 22.1 UNDER SUPERINTENDENT CHERNISS. EVERY INDICATOR POINTS TO A CONTINUED DETERIORATION, AS MANY OF OUR BEST MANAGERS HAVE CHOSEN OR BEEN COERCED INTO LEAVING A DISTRICT IN WHICH THE CURRENT BOARD PREFERS TO FIGHT CULTURE WARS RATHER THAN PROMOTE EQUAL EDUCATION FOR ALL. UNDER THE CURRENT BOARD LEADERSHIP, THE DISTRICT WILL CONTINUE TO GET OLDER, LESS EDUCATED, LESS PRODUCTIVE, LESS DIVERSE, AND LESS ATTRACTIVE TO FAMILIES LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO RAISE THEIR CHILDREN IN OUR COLLEGE READINESS MAY BE IN STEEP DECLINE, BUT A FEW DOZEN HOMESCHOOLED SELF-PROCLAIMED ELITE ATHLETES WILL HAVE AN AWESOME HYPERBARIC CHAMBER IN WHICH TO PONDER THEIR IMAGINARY FUTURES.

AS A MOM OF THREE IN THIS DISTRICT, I'M SORRY, I'M ANGELA EILERS. AS A MOM OF THREE IN THIS DISTRICT, I HAVE SEEN FIRSTHAND HOW MUCH TEACHERS HAVE MADE AN IMPACT ON THEIR STUDENTS. WHEN COMMUNITY MEMBERS CALL TEACHERS STUPID, DUMB, OR CABAL, I'D LIKE TO ASK, HOW IS THIS NOT A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT? WHY DO I CONTINUE TO COME BEFORE YOU AND SAY THE SAME THING WITH MONTH AFTER MONTH? BECAUSE I'M ASHAMED AT THE WAY TEACHERS HAVE BEEN DEMONIZED BY THE MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY, WITH NO PUSHBACK FROM BOARD LEADERSHIP. TO SAY I'M NOT SHOCKED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. ONE JUST NEEDS TO WATCH THE BOARD MEETINGS FROM THE LAST FEW MONTHS TO WITNESS HOW ONE TRUSTEE IS TREATED WITH SUCH DISRESPECT AND CONSISTENTLY SILENCED WHEN SHE DARE ASK A QUESTION ABOUT A PROJECT WITH $1 MILLION PRICE TAG. I MEAN, THAT'S JUST INSANE. THEY DESERVE A VOICE TO WHEN YOU ARE TELLING HER TO BE QUIET AND STOP SPEAKING, YOU ARE SILENCING HER TRUSTEE AREA AND THOSE CONSTITUENTS WHO VOTED FOR HER TO ASK THE HARD QUESTIONS. AS WE WRAP UP THE SCHOOL YEAR, I'D LIKE TO THANK MR. PLUNKETT AT TRAVIS RANCH FOR INSPIRING MATH STUDENTS. HE'S PART OF THE UNION, BY THE WAY. MR. HIPWELL.

MR. WALLS, MISS FERRIS AND MRS. MESSICK AT WILLS, PROBABLY ALL UNION MEMBERS AS WELL. THESE ARE

[00:30:01]

GREETINGS. DAVID PETERSON AND I'M A NEWBIE AT THIS STUFF. I THINK LAST MEETING WAS MY FIRST TIME I TALKED. AND SO WE'RE GETTING ON TO A LITTLE BIT OF THE IDEA OF HOW WE WORK, RETIRED TEACHER, SPECIAL EDUCATION, A TEACHER. WELL, PASTOR 17 YEARS IN YORBA LINDA, AND THEN 46 YEARS RESIDENT IN YORBA LINDA, I'D LIKE TO GO WITH THE GOOD PROPS FIRST. AND AND I WANT TO CONGRATULATE MADAM PRESIDENT, BECAUSE IN THE TWO PRIOR TIMES, AS I WAS WATCHING YOU, AS HE WAS DIRECT CONVERSATION, AT FIRST IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE MARYLAND WAS GETTING ENOUGH TIME TO REALLY HAVE TIME TO EXPRESS. BUT LAST MEETING YOU EXPANDED THAT. I THINK YOU GAVE HER 300% MORE TIME, AND I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'S COOL, TODD, WANT TO GIVE YOU SOME PROPS, WHEN WE WERE WORKING WITH THE BUDGET NUMBERS LAST TIME AND THE IDEA OF UNDERSTANDING THAT THE UC HAS THREE STEPS OF THE BUDGET, DESIGN AND SO THAT UNDERSTANDING THAT THE FIRST ONE IS THE 1.6, YOU KNOW, THAT'S SEPARATE FROM THE OTHER TWO, TWO AND THREE. AND I THINK YOUR COMMENTS WERE VERY BALANCING, AS YOU SAID, YOU KNOW, IF WE COME UP LATER ON AND SAY WE DON'T NEED THE RECOVERY PART, I THOUGHT THAT THAT GAVE BALANCE. I APPRECIATE THAT, IN TERMS OF THE HOMEWORK PART, THE ONE MINUTE, THREE SECOND, THE SOME HAVE COMPLAINED, CAMPAIGNED HERE AND WE TALKED ABOUT THE UNIONS, AS BEING KIND OF THE EVIL GUYS, I RETIRED FROM LAUSD, SO I KNOW, I KNOW WHERE THE DARK SKELETONS ARE IN THE BACKGROUND. YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU COME TO APPLE HERE, IT'S LIKE, NOT EVEN A COMPARISON. SO I, I MY HOMEWORK FOR YOU FOLKS THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH APPLE AND SIT DOWN WITH LINDA, GET TO KNOW HER BETTER, JUST A SIT DOWN AND LISTEN TO EACH OTHER. I THINK YOU'LL FIND OUT THAT IN TERMS OF THE POLICY ISSUES, IT'S NOT THE BIG SCARY THING THAT CTA AND THE OTHER PIECES OF THE UNION THROUGH THE STATE GO ON. AND BECAUSE BASICALLY, I THINK WE'RE ALL HERE TRYING TO FIND COMMON GROUND TO WORK FORWARD AND, AND THEN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF HOMEWORK FOR MADAM PRESIDENT, A LITTLE ON THE ROBERT'S RULES. I NOTICED THERE WERE A COUPLE THINGS. LAST ITEM, LAST MEETING THAT WERE KIND OF A LITTLE OUT OF OUT OF ORDER. BUT I THANK YOU MUCH FOR EACH OF YOU AND WHAT YOU'RE DOING. IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK. AND, I WAS SITTING AT THE CORNER OF, PLACENTIA BOULEVARD AND, AND VALENCIA, AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHY ALL THOSE COPS WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AREA. HOW TO MAKE A LONG ROUNDABOUT. AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A STUDENT AT EL DORADO THAT PASSED. AND, YOU KNOW, I HAD A GUY THAT WAS, WHEN I WORKED IN EAST LA, AND IT REALLY HITS THE HEART OF A TEACHER. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT, NOW WE'RE

[8. CONSENT CALENDAR]

[00:35:03]

PERFECT. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE OH, HOLD ON. SOMEBODY HIT THE MIC. ARE THOSE PROJECTS, THE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS OF VALENCIA ARE THOSE OUTLINED IN THE, FIVE YEAR FACILITIES PLAN? ARE THESE NEW ITEMS? I'D HAVE TO DOUBLE CHECK, THE. IT'S. I'M SURE THAT PART OF IT IS, BUT THERE ARE AS WE GO THROUGH THE YEAR, WE'RE REQUESTED TO DO DIFFERENT THINGS. I PUT UP A SHADE STRUCTURE AND DIFFERENT THINGS. AND SO I KNOW THAT ONE OF THEM'S A SHADE STRUCTURE THAT WE NEED TO HAVE SOME, SOME SERVICES ON AS WELL AT VALENCIA. SO IT MAY OR MAY NOT, DEPENDING ON THE COST OF THE PROJECT, BE PART OF THAT FIVE YEAR THING BECAUSE IT MIGHT BE A SMALLER PROJECT.

OKAY. CAN YOU SEND US A LIST? YES. THANK YOU. OKAY, LET'S TAKE A VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? I AND I'M AND I MOTION CARRIES 4 TO 0. AND SO I KNOW WE HAD A MOMENT OF SILENCE, AND WE'RE NOT REALLY RELEASING THE NAME, BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WE WILL ADJOURN IN MEMORY. OF OUR STUDENTS TODAY WHO, WHO DIED THIS MORNING IN THAT FATAL CAR ACCIDENT AND, ONCE AGAIN, OUR THOUGHTS, OUR PRAYERS, EVERYTHING IS WITH THE FAMILY AND WITH EVERYONE IN THE DISTRICT, OUR STAFF, OUR TEACHERS, HIS FIRST GRADE TEACHER REACHED OUT AND WAS, YOU KNOW, JUST DEVASTATED AT THIS.

AND SO I KNOW IT AFFECTS EVERYONE. SO WE WILL CLOSE IN, IN HIS MEMORY TONIGHT. CAN I HAVE A MOTION, PLEASE? I'LL MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE IN HONOR OF OUR STUDENT. AND EVERYBODY SHOULD HUG THEIR CHILDREN. YES, I'LL SECOND THAT. OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION BY MRS. BUCK, A SECOND BY MRS. ANDERSON. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR OF ADJOURNING, I, I AND THAT IS A FOUR ZERO VOTE.
