I don't think that that's a statute that's going to kind of go away. So, I kind of like D in there.

That is there. So I am resistant to updating the policy in that we are compliant with the law. What I think we should look at is having district come through with procedures and policy or uh procedures to go through those materials. I don't feel as strongly in that it needs to be directed in policy. I think to be fair, I recognize why there could be a world in which you have a superintendent who just does things in a way that's not compliant with what we as a board want. And good news, whomever is on the board at that period of time can make changes at any date. I have respect for the people in this position. And what I am more looking for is what district wishes to do in terms of regulating that policy because again they are in the position to know. So I would like to make a motion that we make no changes to policy JJ.

>> Ir >> the JJR would be false. I'm stopping with the motion. I have a question. Mr. Lotsenheiser or Mr. Bergshire who can answer that because we you guys presented new regulation or is that just old regulations what we have here? >> No. Yeah, that no that the the JJR is the regulation that went along with governing board member Ed's recommendations as I have not brought forth the new regulation. I wanted this conversation to happen first because if the conversation was this is what we're doing then we're good. >> Okay. So that's >> I just provided uh I just provided regulations to match the changes that I made >> just to make it easy so they can see how it moves to the regulations. But >> okay, I appreciate that.

I think I saw that on the >> our uh contract with Everdriven covers are some of our sit students and then it depends. So it varies from year to year. So sometimes if transportation is unable to do a route that meets the needs of the student, we will contact Everdriven. So right now I do believe it's two students. Um but the PO may be for more for that >> because we add kids as the year goes on. >> Okay. Yeah. cuz I think the contract said two students. Um and then 250,000.
