Thank Thank you, Mr. Shadow. It's great to see everyone. I I do have to say this is probably somebody help me out. This could be our largest board of education meeting my tenure and the first my tenure I think that we've had in the auditorium. And I'm getting a lot of board members that actually like having it in the auditorium. So talk about that a little bit. So this is how it's going to work. Mrs. Cortto is going to come up and talk about you children. And um what I promise you is you'll definitely get your picture that you want. We will not leave here till you get that picture. We know how important that is that you get that picture. So when we turn it over to Mrs. CTO. She'll tell you what to do and Mr. Shidler and I are going to come up and we're going to shake your hands and take some pictures with you and then we'll take some pictures at the end and then the whole board will take some pictures with you.
And uh as you know, at the state level, things have been busy in the time since. uh they um the legislative session toward the close they allocated uh roughly $1.5 million to Cheshure uh after our budget closed about half of that was ECS money and basically initially they had said that you know you you have to allocate all this above and beyond what's already been allocated if you already have a budget. Then they kind of pivoted back and said this entire amount that the state is giving to uh communities for ECS has to be allocated. If you already have a min if you've met your minimum budget requirement, then you're okay. So, long story short is the town allocation is well and above and beyond the minimum budget allocation. Um, in talking to Sean, they have no uh plan to allocate more than has already been allocated in the budget process.

I I was going to ask dad Mark. I was going to ask how big this closet is full of costumes, but we'll we'll save that for another time. All right. Uh Dr. Johnson. >> Hello everyone. Um the student of the month for the junior high is Bryson Goss. Do you hear Bryson? I don't see him. Something must have came up, but I'm going to say nice things about him. Anyway, um and uh one of the things I want to mention about Bryson, um in case you haven't noticed, uh one of the things we do at the junior high is we try to pick students of the month who are those really high achievers, but also try to pick those kids who are making, um huge gains. And and I think it's important that we recognize students who engage in our after school programs and, you know, get involved and want to do extra and they they make these huge gains um and get that real growth and you can just tell it's they're on a totally different trajectory in life.
