Any questions, comments, or concerns? >> Yes, ma'am. >> I am just curious as to why the board approves these. I can understand the first group as it impacts school days, but this seems odd to me. Um it's it's board policy that they that the board has to approve any overnight um >> field trips and these are overnight. Um >> but it's still a school sponsored event. So anything school sponsored um it's the same as if uh when the band maybe goes to New York City or if they go to different places as well. Uh the board has to approve those. That's why I think you'll see the music on the first group. Um so yeah, it it just uh it's part of the policy just so the board is aware that these are the trips that we're taking and that they are okay with it.

They liked the process, >> but the appointment the reappoint process was something that we hadn't pushed through further. Okay. >> One of the things we had talked about was asking people >> to reapply. Not necessarily Susan going out and saying to them, "Do you want to do it?" But she says, "Your your appointment's up at the end of August. If you want to do it, reapply." And the hope with that was that we could potentially get some new people, right? So, we get 10 people, but because we've also re we've instated that you need to attend a couple of meetings before you can even apply, the idea of potentially getting new people without them having been in a meeting hasn't really doesn't really mesh with the idea of attending two meetings and then applying. Um, >> so I yeah, I think I'll just echo like what you said.

So, so basically I think that that a couple things that we did accomplish this year were to like first off get feedback from from uh from boards and committees. We got the leaison piece launched. That was something that I'm getting actually a lot of positive feedback on. Um so I think that's good. I think that you know one thing that like Yolanda said we did bring up the proposal of some boards and committees to have people attend at least two sessions before they uh apply. I don't know how evenly that's been followed at this point because we didn't really go back to the boards and committees and check in and find out how that was going for them. So, that being said, you know, I do know that there are a couple boards and committees like they stopped meeting in June for the summer. So to Leon's point, if people are trying to apply right now and they they they want to attend they want to attend two meetings like they're not going to get appointed in August because there are no meetings to attend, >> right?

So that's that's that's one potential glitch that we did not discuss with committee chairs. So I I I think you know one thing that we could do is ask the you know for we we can take a look at everybody who's up and ask them to reapply. I don't think that is ownorous right now like you know >> I just wonder if because we haven't put it in into policy. So Susan Susan has uh put her camera on and I think she has some feedback. >> I'm sure she has thoughts. I see the notes going back. >> She helps us manage it. I mean I I do see and too I do see like you know the notes going back and forth with people you know inquiring about you know all the positions and such. So I don't know if if what we're observing or what we're reporting that we're observing here aligns with what you've been seeing.

So I'm very curious to hear what your thoughts are. >> Well I appreciate you giving me an opportunity to step in here. So one of the things I think you guys now having the liaison is helpful. I think part of the concern before was did we have people sitting in seats but not necessarily participating >> right >> and taking up a space that maybe another person interested couldn't get in there because of that. So I think with having liaison sitting on those committees hopefully that avoids that happening. If you have somebody that's inactive then it gives us an opportunity to replace them. As far as having people reapply, it does create a lot of extra work for me because now I have to process all of those submissions, so to speak. Um, I guess that's my job. So, if that's what you decide to do, I will certainly make it happen.
