002here at the school and I was in the school district for 25 years with four of my own children I'm here tonight not for this board or for this Administration that ship has sailed I am here for the children that are in Siren School their parents grandparents and for the taxpayers of this County let let me remind you that over 60% of our taxpayer dollar goes to this school it has been approximately four months since the sexual assault incident has occurred where are we at today has the administration faculty or School Board reached out to the parents and children that were assaulted have they sent a simple letter email phone call Etc in regards to the concern to their concern of the child have they acknowledged the obvious facts that we did not do the

003right law-abiding Thing by not mandated reporting the incident immediately to parents and not at all to the police no you have not have you apologized for these wrongful actions have you taken accountability have you directly stated to these parents any of these obvious simple truths know have you taken a verbal stand to ensure to them and others that this protocol you did not follow will never happen this way again and that you are pursuing real discipline for those who did not follow the law no no and no nothing absolutely not a nothing has been conveyed to these parents in any shape way or form I mean the blatant negligence of this faculty Administration and board is off the charts absolutely no empathy oh but wait this is an ongoing investigation of course it is so

004everyone just shut your mouths oh because we've been advised we've been advised to of course you have at least that's a good excuse to hide behind you can't talk to these parents you can't acknowledge the obvious you can't take any accountability by admitting the blatant wrong actions wow people you should be ashamed of yourselves again wasn't your kid though was it that's hard to hear isn't it well at least it should be the thing is you you should feel like it was your kid when you decided to enter this profession every kid becomes your kid not here not at this school you've proven that time and time again there's no accountability here you pass the buck you blame shift deflect and run from the obvious you don't protect our children you don't follow the laws

005you don't respect these parents the Day of Reckoning is Here We the People Are Over putting up with this go ahead hide behind your attorneys get all the legal counsel you need all of that does not matter to parents and kids do you know what does matter human decency empathy care concern compassion help taking responsibility when we wronged someone one saying we're sorry committing to do better committing to be better you've spoken loud and clear by not doing any of those things the heart of this is not a legal matter the heart of this is these affected children and parents families that are hurt the assaults were bad enough weren't they and yet you've made it far worse by neglecting your responsibility and accountability for what you allowed in the first place what if it

006was your kid you would expect nothing different and you would be sickened if it was your kid and this was how it was hand the public now sees it for what it is the parent feels it for what it is and the kids oh don't worry about them wasn't your kid was it from here on out we the parents community and taxpayers are going to protect our children we will see to it at all costs thank you thank you Serena again Wendy I appreciate it sorry about the technical difficulty who would like to go next I can okay I'm pal yumy I am a siren resident in taxpayer along with my husband we have grandchildren and I have nieces and nephews several that come to school here um I came to siren school from the

007time I was in kindergarten until I graduated from high school as salutatorian in my class I came back here on request of the then superintendent to come back and help in my community and I taught here for 33 years I'm here tonight as a concerned Citizen and um I've written this down so that I could stay brief but um and I'm going to lean a little I do have some health issues that have been going on so I was recently at an event in the community it was a family event and there were a large group of people from various local school districts there there was a lot of chatter and some passing the phone around I asked what was going on and was shown several photos of a siren School administrator I initially said

008no way are those real those are like AI generated those cannot be real later that day I was sent a video it was short it was just seconds but in it um it did prove to me the legitimacy of the photos there was a narrator and it was just apparently prior based on what the narrator was saying and saying something regarding is this the Saturday morning dream come true I recognized that voice and that was what gave me no doubt in the legitimacy of what I was seeing I am seriously about as liberal of a person as you can get there's no doubt about it and I could really care less what games people play at home or what happens in the privacy of One's Own home in one's spare time however when someone in

009a leadership position makes a decision that those events are acceptable for sharing with a large crowd I question their motive and their judgment photos tell a story and what story they tell is based on people's perception I have no idea what the intent of those photos were was someone coming out were they mocking other people were they intended to be funny or were they a fantasy I really don't know what I do know is that this same administrator has preached the consequences of such actions has had police officers speak to staff and students about digital consequences has put people on leave for behavior that is less than their own current actions people the hypocrisy is deafening this is from the siren School District website a digital footprint also known as a digital tattoo refers to

010a trail of information and data the individuals create and leave behind online as they interact with digital platforms and services this footprint includes activities such as social media posts online searches website visits and digital Communications it is a permanent and often publicly accessible record that can have implications for one's online reputation privacy and security managing and being aware of your digital footprint is important as it can influence how others perceive you and impact your online presence also from the school district website social media it's important for young people to use social media mindfully and responsibly balancing its benefits with potential drawbacks parents and Educators can play a role in guiding them to make informed choices in their online activities while social media can offer connectivity information education and networking it can also be a landmine

011for potential risks social media platforms provide outlets for Creative expression through photos videos and written content in addition it can raise awareness about social is issues and provide a platform for activism however some of the pitfalls that can be encountered while using social media include privacy concerns cyber bullying mental health issues time wasting negative self-comparisons and low self-esteem it is imperative for children as well as the adults in their lives that they look up to strive to minimize the negative effects of social media those are the Expectations by the way for students in this building um I'm struggling with the fact that our administrators are having an issue with some of those very topics my question to the community and ultimately to this school board is are our administrators above all reproach thank you thank

012you Paulie who would like to go next please come on up hi I'm Kylie Buck um I don't have any children in Siren School District currently but I went to siren for 11 years I am I graduated as class of 22 2022 Salud orian um and my mom and dad are a part of the siren Community um so I have prepared a very brief statement of of of the step as the stepdaughter of superintendent Dr shettler and as a member of the private Facebook group knowing the explicit paness rumors thrown against my stepdad is so disheartening I met Kevin when I was 11 years old I'm sorry if I get emotional never once have I felt he was predatorial the support this man has given to me and my family compared to these words being

013said about him is drastic my stepdad is supportive of my mom's business and that is all I have ever seen to see my father figured being bad mouth for this is so sad in my opinion it's been a shoulder for me to cry on and he's the smartest kindest man I know for a small example helping me write my resume this year that's who he is he's gentle coming from someone who met a father figure at such a young age Kevin was never scary he just UND Ood he was the light we needed and to hear all of this about him hurts I can't imagine how it feels for him I just wanted to emphasize my step bad's character thank you for thank you Charlie go next is there any more I didn't first speech

014this time but I came to reiterate the SCH lunches have sorry Christa Matson I am a taxpayer I a parent I'm a huge member of the community in so many ways uh and I am definitely a voice for so many parents here number one being with that school lunch you guys have not improved my daughter was in lunch asking for fruit she has it absolutely recorded couldn't get any fruit it was empty couldn't get fruit couldn't get bread sticks they won't refill it when you're at the end of the line for the middle school that's honestly not even the biggest thing though um my son was uh expelled in December and the school decided to expel two students from that two students who did not bring the Vape to school the student who brought the

015Vape to school was not expelled the report never made it to Social Services until I brought it there because the Vape originated from an adult in the community and nobody could care less so two students the school until their 21st birthday mind you he did all of his reinstatement conditions he has still not come back to the school and I've sent all the proof a social worker is actually going to be here tomorrow with me to hopefully take care of this but that does not negate the fact that my son's not even safe here he's not safe here he's an autistic student who has offered drugs at this school and you guys have done nothing to address that you did not sit and send the stuff to Social Services or to the de's office nothing

016in all of the times that I've communicated with the board and with this administrative uh the district administrator and the principals John the whole nine yards I get either nothing back currently or for you guys I I literally have gotten nothing from any of you guys nobody's addressing anything nobody's addressing the fact that you guys illegally obtained all of my documentation the state literally tells you you cannot obtain my information any any other way than through the actual safe atome program and you guys just didn't care and you guys didn't care to address it at the last board meeting either I will be making all of the emails all of everything public so that everybody can see just what kind of situation they will have to go through in this situation I've known a lot

017of people sitting before us my entire life for as long as I can remember and this is an outright shame because there's people that come into this situation and they don't know you and for them to be treated like that too I can't even imagine you guys need to do better there's literally like these children are in the palm of your hands you get to choose the direction that they can be helped in different directions thank you thank you Christa anyone else want to speak raise my hand but I down further on the on the oh okay all right any more for public comments sorry no okay uh the conclusion of public comments um there anything any the board to say say the topics brought up no Tom but I have something I want to

025there so everything's as it should be now yeah Can someone say that louder the playround loan had some funds that were taken out to use within the general fund and it is a general fund loan so that money was just being moved back and forth although it's earmarked for the playground it's still in the general fund um we've had some shortfalls and some short-term borrowing as we're waiting for tax dollars to come back in um um from both the townships and from the state and so now it sounds like the money that was taken out that would have been earmarked for the playground loan but still within the general fund has been put back do you know what the balance is of that we haven't spent anything out of the playground loan itself 35 because

026we paid rler so it would have been it was 500 total 600 total I believe I thought you had ordered playground equipment so it it's been signed but nothing has gone out for payments yet thank you anything else Laura just that okay president report um like I said big gig was awesome uh more for kids much appreciated for all they did with the book fair and everything made a motion on that I'm very sorry um requested oh oh you're right they did yeah sorry to interrupt so what's the motion just to redirect the remaining funds just that you redirected them and they're back in just whatever you want to say there so I'll make a motion that we accept the fact that the funds were pulled out and redirected back in I'll second it all

027those in favor I I post okay so like I said thanks again uh more for kids for all they did with the book fair Big Gig was awesome event as always um I hope you had as much fun doing it as we did watching it um just a reminder people are starting to get into playoffs for their Sports so get out there support wrestling and the hockey team and of course the basketball team start their playoffs as well and we got spring volleyball I think starts tonight for some people actually so get out there support the dragons much appreciated from everyone true I just have a quick question I don't know if any of you know is there going to be a send off for Izzy going if so when Mr Carson was looking into

028that that was the last I heard this morning okay thank you I just I'm planning to go to my niece as she's going but thinking what are we doing here it had it hadn't been determined as of 3:30 today so okay no problem I'm sure we'll see it thank you or maybe just like make sure you sharing now yeah sure thank her first match is I thought two o'clock on Thursday to kind of get people right so she they're probably all going down they have to do way in Wednesday thday leaving Wednesday after schol right okay thanks thanks guys okay go ahead all right moving on reports superintendent um just I shared this letter with you before from the Department of Public Instruction in regard to federal funds when all that came out uh in

029terms of the administration saying that they were holding on federal funds the response from the Department of Public Instruction is we're going to continue to move forth all the funds that were approved and allocated are continuing to move forth so those have not been uh diminished in any capacity that's just I've shared that with the budget and finance as well the title 9 update also with the new Administration um as you know in August we had to proove the new 2024 Title 9 RS those no longer exist as if they never did so what we did was we went back and we have our 2020 policies we've shared them with the Wisconsin Association of school boards for review um they have reviewed those they are back in our possession we need to take those to

030the policy committee there are a couple of changes I believe the board would want to make in in that regard once we get uh legal approval on that so basically the 2020 Rags are right back in as if they never left awesome yeah I know that we we're looking to get that back so then we can start working know it to make it uh better which look forward to um so the the summer schools piece is going to be a segue with Miss Herman here um so we had talked with budget and finance we had talked with buildings and grounds due to the fact that we have significant projects happening this summer being the playground the front entrance the roof and the boilers um summer school will be cancelled or postponed this year um set

031to resume next year as planned I think one of the concerns especially building the grounds was the entrances and the access of where the boilers might be coming in and the fact of the playground area and the trucks and that that here during the project so I don't know if you want to add go anything on no just our goal is to of course resume in 2026 are we saving money or losing money um we're saving a little bit of money um we do get uh aid for the we usually get like four students for that the amount that we're saving is what we would pay for staff it's about a wash it's pretty close I think we might make about $5,000 on that say $5,000 I mean it's unfortunate but I mean we also

032don't need any anything more to happen get our projects done and next year yeah the roofers are going to be over here and they're working on the front entrance and the boilers are over by there and again I just yeah it's all right thank you Kevin uh reports from principls Mrs Herman I just wanted to recap our family math night um we had 108 people come to family math night one of our biggest attended and EV events um teachers and classroom teachers um Title One teachers we were all in attendance um our face class made us fancy brownies for for our dessert that night so um Heather O'Brien had kids making desserts for it um the St Cy Casino donated cards and dice so every family was able to take home um a pack of

033cards or more and dice so they can play games at home um teachers had make andake activities there were Math Games there were parent resources for helping with math at home estimation jars tons of stuff going on um it was such a fun night and we were just so pleased with the attendance and all the laughter that came out of families that night so thank you to everyone who who helped and who came and we enjoyed it I have to say I've been to math nights in the past and this was by far a better setup and just how things ran and I think just doing it all in the Commons were they could all float you know around and then you didn't have to worry about families being split up and stuff like that

034it was a way better way of doing it and I think a lot of the kids had fun because of it yeah I agree thank you um AGR report our achievement Gap reduction report I do twice a year mid year and then again at the end of the school year um just some things to note kindergarten students are almost at 100% of knowing their letters and sounds which we haven't had in a very long time so I'm very excited to see how many readers we have in May who are leaving kindergarten so that's pretty exciting um first grade makes the biggest jump in Reading from the beginning of the year to the end of the year um so while it doesn't look like it they are on track right now um to make some great

035progress by the end math at each grade level is showing growth I believe it's due to the fact that we're in year three of our curriculum um so teachers are getting further in their reading and in their math curriculums than they have in the past um they're getting to know what standards they need to pull and and what pieces they can skip in those curriculums so it's gone very well any questions love see progress any question from anyone else so then some of these areas that are low they're continuing to work through this and then another report then this spring correct okay thank you Steve all right nobody else moving on to Miss Campbell all right so you all have the document which has a list of some but not all roles and responsibilities um

036some that obviously are a lot more fun termining Valance cell graduation things like that and then some that are definitely not so fun um disciplined dealing with investigations things like that some of those things which take up a lot of time um on a daily basis we never know what to expect when we come in um and it changes pretty regularly um some of my favorite aspects are things like curriculum development and mapping um and then the development implementation and attending um professional learning communities so the plc's um so so professional learning communities have been around for a very long time they're one of the um most research-based best practice in um improving the collective efficacy of teaching staff uh in a school this size it's a lot of struggles because we have all singl

037tens so in other words we have only one high school math teacher one you know middle school math teacher um we have only one band teacher we have only you know one gym teacher um typically in a professional Learning Community model School model or model school um when you have five people teaching the same subject everyone has regular data meetings on a weekly basis and we look at okay how are the kids doing in your class versus my class um but there's been a lot of research and work gone into how to make this work in a small school so um in the initial implementation stage we've just been working with core subjects so um math and science social studies um Ela or English language art s um but we're starting from the ground up

038and building those norms and routines looking at having guaranteed and viable curriculum looking at research based best practices and then the hope is to expand from there um school schedule for middle and high school as you all get to approve eventually and you know that it is quite complex so that's kind of like a puzzle that we have to put together every year and look at numbers and look at schedules and look at student requests and things like that so any questions uh Jamie I guess I do have a question um I obtained a survey that you sent out safe supportive and collaborative yeah culture um is this something that will be shared with the board so they can see the results and what I guess teachers are saying about how they feel on this

039and I'll give this to Tom that would be great thank you thank you Steve so I I know you like most of uh the administration where I I can't count how many hats honestly um but when you look at the division of your time um what are I mean we would love to all think that you know there's an even amount of time spread across all this but of course some things are more intensive than others um when it comes to the interaction with the faculty or within the classrooms on a regular basis how much do you think you're denoting to that well it kind of comes and goes and it's often on an as needed basis and it depends on what other a major pressing issue so um basically every day we have to

040kind of prioritize based on importance and need and emergency situations which we tend to have a lot of um if we have teachers that are looking for assistance or help or asking for assistance or help those are the faculty or teachers that I obviously am going to put the most time and effort into um and then basically it's whatever we can manage to get done on a daily basis or a weekly basis okay what do you think of uh as far as your uh staff report how do you think they would the staff report yeah how they would view you I mean haven't complain in my face so um I do I do I have been sending out a lot of these surveys and I actually intend to send out a lot more to get

041more staff um inut on things um I ask for staff input a lot and I don't always get staff input and then a lot of times I'll get input but it's not really specific it's just kind of vague or general or that kind of thing um you know the staff very much like the public have often said you know they would like more information on things but unfortunately legally we cannot divulge a lot of the things that happen in our office on a daily basis or we could be sued or held liable or have a fur a complaint against us so no matter how much it might help our staff or our staff would feel like they were able to know things that are happening we simply cannot do so so that's always something you

042know they would like more communication on things but unfortunately we're just legally bound not to in most cases um I think being at the PLC meetings every week is a time where I do get to spend with the core teachers as of right now um on a on a weekly basis so it's um 4 days a week a half an hour a day and I attend I would say 85% of the PLC meetings with the core teachers um and then working with like special ed department and special ed teachers and things like that um you know I am working a lot with staff um if there are um parents that have concerns and I address them with the staff and and work through that with them um work through it with parents so I'm kind

043of a liaison between parents staff and students I guess it's how I would see my SCH and trying to best navigate everyone's best interest in all situations which can be quite tricky okay yeah any of these any more you come up with we'd love to see the results so and they're always Anonymous so it can help us to uh come up with things that might be more helpful either to yourself or to the staff all right um anything else Miss Campbell any other questions for Jamie okay uh report special educations sweet um the last few weeks I've been wearing my um test accommodations coordinator hat um with prea and forward out um the accommodations have been entered for all of those we have um 12 students in the high school that'll be taking the act

044and 44 in the elementary that will be taking State forward test this year gr accommodations have all been entered for and that is both special and those on five four points and state assessments oh sorry gotcha any questions I have a question for Den but don't have to do a state assessment so it's been brought to my attention about kid in the elementary that's had a lot of issues lately behavioral a lot of resources in this kid and you heard another kid I'm just curious when do we suspend the child or what what what do we wait for how much do we put up with before special education so laws for disciplining special education students are different than regular education students um right now I am in conversation with DPI trying to figure out exactly

045where our boundaries are with some of these things um partly because it is a manifestation I believe of his disability and so we have to make sure that we are dotting our eyes and crossing our tees before we can make any at the expense of the other kids we are doing our best to keep everybody safe also be something that we could potentially bring up with policy as well something along those lines address all right anyone else for Denise okay moving on uh Indian education report also quite short and sweet um well halfway through the process of um the title six Grant that's our Federal grant they open it up in three different pieces so the first piece is just saying yes I'm going to apply again second piece is our student count so I

046just submitted that 121 native students um PRK through 12 this year um which is slightly down from last year 129 but last year I have like the biggest graduating class that I've ever had so that's to be expected and it's still right about um where where we usually are um so the next step is getting the parent committee together and kind of um outlining our new plan um because we've been doing multi-year application for the last five years I believe so now it will be a new multi-year application um and then it is so beautiful we are all thinking about Sugar Bush um it's a little bit early yet but um we are ready to go we've got some of the tribal um cultural coordinators planning to come in and talk to our third graders

047about um kind of the historical o way uses um of Maple and um the importance we're excited to get that role ter when's your title six Grant due um I don't have the date for the like they as I said they come in phases so they'll send me an email and say they open it okay and then they close it um and it's usually really close to the end of the school year if not after that they close um thank you okay thank you Tera right now I'm looking for a motion to approve the minutes for regular school board meeting for January 27th 2025 I'll make the motion to approve the minutes I'll second it motion by Katie seconded by Steve all those in favor I looking for a motion to approve the minutes for

048the special school board meeting from February 10th 2025 I'll make that motion to approve minutes for February 10th 2025 motion by Steve second it seconded by Katie all those in favor I right all right on to new business do D tour during Highway construction Eric do you want to speak to that me too uh the stage just came and said they're going to run the detour through the school I not much else to say yeah we're trying to just plan ahead um we'll be in contact be7 possibly unless they get funding could be next year we don't know on a village we try to push back have it go down old 35 but uh because of the condition of old 35 the damage they thought they cause to it they didn't want to replace old

04935 so coming down Fourth Street it's not it's not trucks and it's only Northbound so it's half the traffic but southbound will remain on 35 one side or the other because they'll do one side and then the other and the trucks are being routed a different route have to ask question yeah um I know it says it's going to be in the summer but we're just talking about we don't even know what year it's going to be so it's be hard to tell when it's going to be that is correct do they have anything in it saying that we can't still block our road during those times Well we talked about summer school as the biggest issue and the drop off could be at the elementary doors because we talked about that even for this

050year it's only one bus for summer school that can make the turn um so that would be the first go-to but then if if it turns out it's going to be during a school year time then yeah we'll have to talk to them about when what we said we can't block the road it would be very easy to detour them one block over for the 20 minutes in the morning and the afternoon or whatever so when do they usually when would this project potentially start may it start construction season be over in the summer yeah they claim it will start at the end of the school year and be done by the beginning of school year and it goes all the way through town and not knowing when our school year is that year it's

051really hard to I mean we could I'm sure someone in know I think it could be as soon as they probably can't even find siren on a map I think we just have to keep it on our radar right just because it says 27 doesn't mean that's when it's gonna happen yeah at least you have that middle which most people are probably going to turn on anyways like why go another block when you're going that way just I don't know what that road is it's too bad they're not year have summer school anyways right well thanks for up to it guys well we'll deal with the fun when it comes right all right moving on to sports U app so um one of the issues that came up a while back was um what app

052was allowable for these sports teams to be communicating through and we wanted them to basically settle on one app that was approved that there wouldn't be like private messaging and stuff like that available through um and we kind of never heard back anymore about it so uh Carson came to uh the policy meeting and shared that they he's approved the sports U app as the app of choice for the sports programs uh for communication um and it's a free app unlike some of the other apps that are available and just wanted it to come to the board for for both students and or uh parents and students can both have count on it yes so we just wanted to bring it forward to the full board as to acknowledge it as an approved app um

053because we want to keep a tab of course on which apps are being used we're just really making sure we're getting away from any coaches directly text messaging a student and or using SnapChat we want to make sure that those means of communication aren't happening with an adult that's not a relative I mean I just seems inappropriate that a coach would be Snapchatting players so we wanted to make sure it was more professional and we had some kind of app for communication and so far it seems like it's been doing fine Bren seems confused so well I just want to ask a question those of us in non-sports areas that have used remind are we using that same app and if so that was right that was just brought up to I was asking if

054we had other communication and like we're not against remind it was just it was just a we need a direct right if we should be using something on our trip other than REM use sport VI for spring or for Middle School volleyball I don't know if we had it yet you still your okay I think it was after you guys had started that we he started using the sport too we need a directive because we do use an app we use things when we travel so if there is something that we should be using and I'm sure there's other people in our same boat that are not Sports people and I did bring that did come up as well to be given a directive okay yeah well at this point I'll put forth the motion

055that remind and the sports you app along with email are the only allowable forms of communication between coaches and heads of extracurricular activities wasn't the policy wording just to say approved apps or approved methods so that we wouldn't have to change it well yeah yeah no that that this one is approved but then the wording of the policy is just whatever is of the approved list right because I don't know the applications between this you Jamie you don't think this would work as well for band as I don't know exactly the part reason Carson like the sports you is because they can go coaches can go in and put all the practice they can go in and put all the um like game locations scheduling would all be in there which Maybe can do some

056of it with remind I'm not really sure is it mind one we pay for as well no that one's not it was is remind one of your approved one yeah Tom just said yeah go ahead yeah you're fine with using that I mean maybe going forward yeah this came up no mine came up a while back when there was discussion over multiple apps being used Just For Teacher communication uh in general and remind is the only one that basically was approved as I from I think one that the prek uses um so now we know I mean if potentially there's something else at another later dat that St wants to come and discuss it's just more less we just don't feel Comfort I don't feel comfortable I I don't want to speak for everybody but

057like I don't want St Snapchatting and messaging directly does does it save all the messaging back and for that goes back and forth like if something were to come up is that a pull from the app that allows you to pull back okay and so you know it's like a quick way too instead of having like a text thread like if you're just want to communicate with the coach you can send a separate message instead of it being like the whole you know to all the parents you can just directly message yeah as long as those are able to be yeah I've been using it for multiple students this year and I haven't had any concerns with so I put forth the motion then second second it okay just I didn't think I heard anyone

058just want all those in favor was sure if I missed it so post okay all right um policy 75.3 language updates so this um was the sports one that kind of ping pong back and forth between policy and the full board and when it went back to policy we fixed the wording on it um to not only include uh Mill School cross country and High School cross country but to designate they would each have a head coach uh and if middle school did not have enough children to meet the criteria that coach would default to uh assisting the high school coach so that way we can ensure the two coaches would be present um and then we're going this isn't part of it but we also are strongly encouraging the middle and high school to

059continue to do meets together so as Not to cause an issue where one coach will be left out on their own so to speaka will you make sure to um well you probably will just make sure that date on the bottom of that gets updated because it's until after you approve this so I make a motion to approve the updates on set the policy 75.3 second got a motion by Jamie seconded by Eric all those in favor you can consider that done I just want to make sure I mean I figured just just so it's clear now of the fun part Mee and calendars so March sorry I'm trying to do two Budget Finance Personnel meeting let's see currently on the on this calendar oh they put have it on here twice oh gosh that
