Um, but we also have a situation where even best case scenario, if if the board votes for a 6% increase, which we can do with the healthcare adjustment, we're still going to be short 11 positions that are necessary at our new middle school, which will impact the class sizes at our new middle school and our other two middle schools because we'll have to take staff from there. So, the reality is it's very simple. The less staff you have, the higher class sizes will increase and most likely negatively impact academic achievement, social, emotional, everything. So it it could have a significant impact. And finally, I would add that it's unfortunate that none of this is the fault of anybody sitting on this deis because this board has been fiscally sound, fiscally conservative, fiscally responsible. But things out of our control like a 30% health benefit increase um is something that is simply killing us.

And so it's one of our maintenance guys and um it we do a great job doing it, but then that's that's work that we can't done get done in our district um for our staff.

And the count is full. Looks like Three balls, two strikes. Two in scoring position. Two out. Here comes. Strike three! Got him looking at a fastball. Second K for Leak and he gets out of the second scoreless. No score between the Clockers and the Panthers going to the third. Jared Grumbom will come out for the third inning here.

I mean, there there's a lot of safety concerns there, too. So, um, you know, I appreciated um the conversation with the the their governing board. Um, all three county commissioners were awesome to work with and just talk through um the challenges. Um, they just like us are being impacted by CA1 as well. So, just saying, "Hey, just give us a ton more money is not an option because they don't have a ton more money." Um, and so, um, you know, they asked for a little time to kind of brainstorm and think what they would maybe want to do, what that might look like for them if we said, "Hey, we're not going to have this facility on our campus anymore, for example." Um, what does that mean for them?

Despite the two errors so far committed by Ashland, no damage done yet. Definitely not a trend you want to keep going in. Tommy Quinn, the third baseman, will lead off and he'll take ball one. He was in the middle of his at bat when Snyder was picked off at third. So, he'll get a reset. 1-0. Checked his swing. Two balls and no strikes. It's 9-1-2 here for the Panthers. 2-0. It's a ground ball to third. Good hop for Conry. He throws long to first in time. Perfect hop, perfect throw. And a quick out number one. So, it's back to the top of the lineup. Cosgrove 0 for 1. First pitch to him. That's a ground ball to short. Treiber comes in on it. The long throw across is not in time. Throw pulled Chris Bradica off of first base. He was late applying the tag.
