Yeah. So how do you think the year went? I think I I know um we did not get to first per if if I knew that I could have removed a number of you know that were not supposed to be counted we could have tapped it number one but that's all right so that was an achievement reacredititation but well and I know our e scores and I've tracked the proficient can see and I know we have increased you know so I think we did pretty well I I'm privileged to we working with a very hardworking staff from top from from our administrator Dr. So there everyone stepping up like this these three here. Oh these four I'm talking about the the three of them they would step up all the time and they don't so privilege. I I I find myself privileged. So what are the challenges?

We just jot that down and that they're discarded. We write discard on them and then we we usually we ask a hundred people if they want them take them home. home. We send them home with kids, but um they usually will get discarded if no one else wants them. But go ahead. We have a recycle company. They'll just give you um I believe for scrap value if you want me to pass that along. You're right. These these companies are disappearing. Yeah. And we have a hard time uh because the friends of the library uh get the monies that we so I don't know how much it is but they do pick it up. They do they're out of Massachusetts. Y I could send you the the name and maybe that could help you. I definitely I would I would welcome that. We're always looking for for Yeah.
my challenges. I should say that one they've been inviting me to this position for a long time. I always say no because I couldn't imagine facing families like how to work with families. It's it's so important for families to understand partnership and trust is important. Open communication is important, but some families are very closeminded and that makes the work tough. But I care about kids, so I'll just continue whatever I do. That's the that's the toughest for me. And your relationship with the teachers, I think I I work with them well, I should say. If you have worked with me long enough, she has an open door policy. So, everyone feels welcome and comfortable. It's very supportive. Always been a servant leader and I enjoyed serving. So, I think that's a big difference. So, you're happy you took the position that you wish you had?

Yeah. take care of it. The other thing if I could just add and um Mike just uh reminded me this will come up as you continue to go through your um series 3000. There is a reference to discarding of materials such as textbooks in a later policy. Um so we can certainly revise it. Um we'll take the information now for sure but we can certainly add um additional language if we feel needed at that time. Are there any additional questions regarding this policy 3323? I have one more question. Sorry, this is not my committee. Just I'm thinking of I'm just thinking of it now. Mike, does this apply to school activity accounts? I keep I get that question that people know that we were uh working on this and they I've actually heard both yes and no. My my position on it was um was no that this refers to um only monies that were either a coming in through a grant or appropriated through the city.
I like it because there are a lot of things I wanted done before and I'm seeing it now. But there's a lot of things that needs to be done. I think you're doing a great job. Thank you. But there's a lot of things after looking at our data. We still have a lot of things to do. Any further questions or discussion today?

Any questions from committee members or non-committee members about this policy? No, just a comment. I think it's very self-explanatory that we we need to, you know, push it on so we can have it in place. Yeah. The only the only other thought that I had if if it made it as we added more things under the exceptions, if it makes it easier to read, we could list them. There are four different exceptions. I could put a like colon and just one, two, three, four if that makes it easier. I think that's a good idea, Kelly. Yeah, anything for to make it easy. I'll clean up the actual formatting, but it would look like this. Yeah, that's better. I think we can get rid of some of the additionally when we do the numbers. Does that look okay to everyone?
I don't know what it is. Miss September 26th the first time we're ever doing this all the staff will be going to be on so we just wanted to do something innovative.
