No. Um I believe increasing engagement increases everything. Like when a student is engaged then they have fun learning and so they become you know en they enjoy attending class and they learn better just because they feel connected to the lesson and feel engaged in the classroom. So when we increase engagement we increase their proficiency. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you. The if if I can just add a little bit.

So, that's why I kind of wanted to have an update because I was like, well, we haven't heard for three years if we're still doing that. Are we still paying that? Like, how is that going? like just to check up on it. But then when we were at the Yellow conference, um all the high school students were like, "Oh yeah, no, there isn't even a the magnetic locks like aren't even out anymore."

Um the specific things that we're asking for is to fully fund Prop 98 in Beressa. As Dr. Fontes mentioned, it is $4 million ongoing that we would get um as a school district. And that would be huge. As you all know, in the past, we had a $6 million deficit. And so $4 million ongoing can be ch like changing for the district. and also getting the proposed block grant from the um governor as well. That would provide us almost $3 million a year. And so that funding can go towards salaries. That money can go towards hiring new folks, adding programs for our schools. So I know there's uh a lot of folks in the audience who do advocacy at the school district level, which is amazing. But we also need your voice at the city level, city council meetings, and also appealing to our um state legislature as well.

I'd like to look into it because I having gone to the award ceremonies the other night with the CTE and then to see the kids in the arts and the sports and how important that is. And considering we're looking to draw people to the district and not send people away, I'd like to give a little more consideration to that. But I'm I'm ready to go on the other things on 10 10.2. >> Looks like you have two requesting to take a look at the 16. >> What I'll do is this.

Um but you know, part of that is to to set an example for them. And part of it is obviously because of of how much it did for me. But um I think that when that the fact that my kids can sit here as adults and see that all that time I spent hopefully had even if it had the smallest amount of impact, then like game over. It's I'm good. It's That's all I care about. So, thank you to the people of Ashland. Um thank you to anyone that ever voted for me or didn't vote for me or whatever.

Do you guys like the direction that it's going? Do we pay $12,000 a year um or not? So, so we do not pay a subscription fee. Okay. >> At all for yonder. We do pay if we need new pouches. >> Yes. Right. $30 a pouch. >> Um the high school I was I called the other day to touch base and I couldn't get Mr. Browning the other day in the afternoon ended up talking to one of the secretaries to reaffirm that in the front hallway and at the back whether or not the students use them.
