001Could we please have roll call? President Michael Flores, Vice President Linda Heath. Here. Governing Member Chris Gillespie. Here. Governing Member George Arradondo. Here. Governing Member Victoria Quintero. Here. We have quorum. Well, I'd like to welcome you all. It's nice to see a crowded boardroom, and I'm especially excited to be able to give out those awards again. So shall we begin with Pledge of Allegiance, please? Do I hear a motion to approve the agenda? I move we approve the agenda as presented. Second. All those in favor? Yes. Now we do have one person that would like to speak to the board during our public participation, so I have to read this little paragraph first. The Arizona Open Meeting Law allows the governing board of education to hear concerns from parties, but does not allow the board
002to discuss or take any action without the item having been part of the regularly posted agenda. The board may remand the concern to the superintendent for investigation, action, or recommendation at a future board meeting. Before beginning your presentation, please state your name and the organization for the record. Remarks are to be limited to three minutes per participant. The board requests that speakers refrain from voicing complaints against school personnel or any person connected with the district as it may impact due process rights. policies KE, KEB, KEC, and KED are provided by the board for disposition of legitimate complaints, including those involving individuals. So with that, we have Mary Buckman. Hi. My name is Mary Buckman, and I'm a resident here. Heartland Ranch since 2019. Several years ago a group of my friends became interested in learning
003about the Constitution. So we purchased and watched Constitution Alive by Rick Green. At the end of the class, I was encouraged to do my part to pass it on to the next generation or to whoever I could. And so I decided to bring some of the constitution, pocket constitutions for the fifth graders two years ago. Since the class ended right before the Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. which was passed in 2004 for an ongoing commemoration and education in every institution that receives federal funding during the year. And as I said, two years ago, I began by giving the fifth graders the Constitution, and I want to do that again. This year is a little ahead of time. It's not right, you know, the day before September 17th. So I have included enough for all the
004fifth grade students and a couple extras for the teachers. The U.S. Department of Education has a wonderful website dedicated to Constitution Day and Citizenship Day to commemorate the September 17th signing of the United States Constitution. So I've included a handbook, I mean a handout of each of these as well. There's links to many lessons with great questions to help the students think and learn. And I know teachers are very busy, so it's very nice to have a starter. I'd like to read a paragraph from one of the resources. The United States Constitution is the oldest written national constitution still in operation. and many of the nations that have established themselves in the centuries since have turned to this document as a model for their own constitutions. As a document that defines the structure of our
005federal government and delineates the rights of the states within the Union and of individual citizens within the nation, The Constitution has become a symbol to Americans and to the world of our political principles and the democratic way of life that flows from them. So thank you very much for accepting these, and I am very thankful that you were willing to do that and carry on the Constitution's education. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right, now we're going to have our presentations starting with the principal's update with Dr. Matei Ferguson. Good evening. I got a few things here to talk about. I wanted to start with our phone policy, oddly enough. I know we brought up some concern last time as we were heading into school, and I think we had an excellent
006start, especially at the high school. We kind of... We're anticipating a decent chunk of pushback just because of our kiddos and their age, and we know how closely attached they are to their phones. But I think it's really been phenomenal. Kids get them out, but little reminders here and there. Teachers have been on it. Students have been understanding. We made sure they understood exactly the purpose and kind of why we went that path. And so it's been a really great start with very little pushback. So that's been wonderful to see and definitely opposite of kind of what I think everybody thought was going to happen. So definitely a plus for our campus. We've already gotten into our incentives for our state testing last year, a lot of doubles. We talked about last year, 48 students
007were invited to the pool, right, proficient with one section in their state testing, and this year we invited over 160 kids to that event. So just phenomenal. increase in our proficiency. So that was a big one for us as well. We've already started with our benchmarks this year. We kind of did a little change up and really mock state testing in hopes that students know from the very beginning. to model what that state testing is gonna look like and get used to that. So hopefully some of that anxiety can go away when we get to state testing. Teachers are already diving into data and looking at those pieces and making their adjustments. So that's been great too. We added a deer day this year and I wanted to mention that. I think we think deer
008days, which is drop everything and read and we think elementaries. And our students really did have some positive feedback. They enjoyed being able to read some of the things they brought in, identifying books that they wanted to read and talk about. So that was a fun activity for us that we're going to continue through the year. And then lastly, we've got all sports going on. We have over 180 fall students involved in sports right now. And our first games in August are football games. So August 22nd, we'll have our own football game and August 29th. So hope to see you all there. Thank you. Mr. Chapman. Hi, good evening. I wanted to start with highlighting some things that both CVA and CAP, especially some goals that we have for this year. With me being new,
009I thought it would be appropriate to go over that with you now and then also conclude with a few revisions that we've done on campus. But first, I want to tell you guys how fortunate I am to work with an amazing staff. and our staff of teachers, counselors, our custodian, and everyone else that helps us run campus. They're all experts in their field. They love being around students. They're dependable, and they're a great group of people to be around. In addition, our assistant principal, Mr. Gonzalez, who's here today, he's been awesome to work with, and we are fortunate to have him on campus. So starting with the goals of CVA and it's both ELA and math goals. Starting with math, we decided that students will be proficient. measured by the performance on the ACT test,
010going from 0% in 2025 to 15% in 2026. And this is all gonna be measured through Connexus, small group interventions, ALEKS scores, district assessments, formative assessments, and benchmark testing. We just did our first benchmark testing this week, so. Ms. Hodge and I just started going through that data and we're going to be sharing that with the teachers very soon. In regards to the ELA goal, same measure through the ACT testing, we plan on increasing from 22% in 2025 to 35% in 2026. And an additional goal for CVA is to increase our graduation rate. Right now we're at a graduation rate of 45% and our goal is to increase that to 70%. Moving on to CAP, with the same measurements through ACT, with math we want to go from 0% in 2025 to 15% in 2026.
011So it mirrors what CVA is doing. And with ELA, we want to go from 14% in 2025 to 25% in 2026. A couple of revisions that our staff and I did from last year to this year to where it looks just a little bit different. We just made a little shift to try and hopefully boost our attendance rate and our class completion and our graduation rate. First is we're shifting from content area direct instruction to Connexus online classwork with teacher support. The content area teachers are creating small group lessons to reinforce subject matter. Math is a high needs area for our students and it seems to be one of the biggest struggles on our campus. So we created a math intervention position and we were able to do that by shuffling some things around and
012not have to hire another teacher. And we have a math interventionist. and a reading specialist on campus that's also pulling our students daily in small groups. And lastly, Mr. Gonzalez and I are reaching out to former students that have kind of disappeared on us over the last year or so to try and get them back enrolled so we can get them back on course for graduation completion. So the goal for everything is to increase graduation rate and as we move forward through the months, I look forward to sharing more on our progress. Thank you. Thank you. Dr. Dix. So I wanted to piggyback on what Dr. Ferguson had shared about the cell phone policy. It has not been a problem which is exciting. We were fully prepared to have a lot of pushback to have
013a lot of angry students and we just really did not have that. We have a couple of students who've been in trouble. We've had to take cell phones away but they get it and they've got it pretty quickly. So I'm very happy to report that. And I think they were a little like. I mean junior high kids are weird anyway but we had them they were weirded out by it at first coming from summer where they were highly immersed in their cell phones. They had a hard time with that. They were very hyper the first week of school. They have calmed down. They're actually talking to each other at lunch. We're seeing kids having conversations lots of football games and volleyball circles and soccer being played and frisbee and everything at lunch. It's awesome. So
014it has been an amazing change. And so we're so glad that we were able to put that into place. Speaking of athletics and things going on, we actually currently have volleyball, boys baseball, cross country and swim happening on campus. And we have about 100 kids that are participating in that, which is great to see. We also have about 100 students that are part of our 21st century grant clubs that are happening after school. So after school, we have over 200 kids that are staying after and taking part in athletics and clubs and events. And so it's a real happening place to be after school on our campus. campus. We also had student council elections today so I'm wearing my sticker. Our student council kids worked really hard and they created campaign videos that they actually
015recorded and they sent them out today during advisory and so the students all got to watch the campaign videos and then they had a QR code that they scanned using their iPad and they voted for those students that they wanted to have in the different Offices, thank you, I have no word. Offices in there, but. I think my favorite thing today was a student who was running for president wearing a suit to school today. He had all of his pins that he had earned in sixth and seventh grade for honor roll. He had them on his lapel and he walked around over the last two weeks with a poster campaigning at lunch and he wanted to personally introduce himself to students. He didn't want to put posters up. He wanted to go around and introduce
016himself to students so that they knew who he was and he could tell them why it was important to vote for him for student council president. Did he win? I do not know the results yet. I had to tell him today. I said, I voted, but I can't say for who. Like, it's not fair. I will not say, but very impressed with the dedication and the attention that went into their videos. They did a really nice job. And like the other schools, we've got our high stakes incentives coming up. We go to main event tomorrow. We have the pool party next Thursday. And we had about 25 students more than last year that qualified for those. So we had more students take our tests seriously and go up. score proficient or highly proficient. Thank you.
017Thank you. All right Mr. Bruno. Good evening. I'm not used to going towards the end of this. Everybody already stole all my thunder, so I'm going to rewrite a few things. At Heartland, unlike the secondary schools, we don't have that phone issue as much in the elementary level. I think a young man picked up his bag today, and his phone spilled out and saw me looking at him, almost started crying. So we don't have to worry about that in the lower levels. We got that on lock. Heartland had a very successful kinder and first through fifth open house. We had cars parked out. about a mile and a half in both directions. Did not have any parents complaining. They were just super excited and the students are super excited to show the parents around the
018school. So we had a great turnout for that. As my colleagues also alluded to. Heartland just finished up their first benchmarks but we also finished up our dibbles and math screeners and so with that we start we've already created our intervention groups. I was in there today and the math kids are super excited they had all their manipulatives on the table and they wanted me to come in and I was just walking by and I tell them I'll be back tomorrow with that but they're super excited to get learning and improve their scores. Tomorrow West and Heartland will be taking our testing incentive students to for their pool day tomorrow. for our current fourth and fifth graders of last year's third and fourths who scored one of the two main core sections correct and we
019have I want to believe one hundred and three that are going to that that are qualified for that. So we are very excited. I know the students were very excited and we're Gonna be hyping it up so hopefully it'll help motivate students even just a little bit more going into next spring as well And then we like to invite you all out We have our first big family event coming up at the end of August on the 27th. We have our family games and crafts night Where the students get to show off some of the things they might have been making in clubs or some of the things they're working on in their classes That the parents get to participate in so that'll be on the 27th at 5 p.m. Thank you Thank you. And
020Mrs. Ferguson. Thank you. So at West, we started clubs this week. We already actually, our coordinator, we have two coordinators this year that are amazing. They're two of our teachers and they are. doing everything which I love a lot. So she already asked tonight if we could close enrollment for our clubs because we are full. So we have we're about twice as what we as many as we were last year at this time. So we're very excited that our clubs have filled up quickly. The kids are excited. Everybody's really excited for that. We will open it obviously if we have more room. But for now we're full and so we're very excited about that because we did not have as many last year. So we're very excited about that. Next week Mr. Brunner and I
021are taking our students who passed both of their tests, our current fourth and fifth graders, who last year are third and fourth graders. So this year we're taking about 37 to Urban Air next Thursday. Last year I believe we only took about 28. So we're up at least 10 kids, so we're excited about that. So we're gonna share the bus right up there, and so they have a whole day to play on the. jumping whatever they're called. I don't even know what they're called. So Mr. Brunner and I are going to have fun with that. So we're excited to do that next week for our kids to celebrate them. And then we would like to invite you on August 28th. We are having our third annual honors dinner to recognize our students who passed one
022of their state tests last year. The culinary department is working with our student council to host that dinner for us. Just like we have the last two years we'll be celebrating the students and two of their family members who can attend with them. So we hope that you can join us for that. Thank you. And you might as well just stay right there for the governing board outstanding character awards. Okay, so I would like to call up Miss Miranda Gaspar. So Miranda was nominated by her second grade teacher Miss Ashley Coyle. So here's what she had to say about Miss Miranda. Miranda is a new student at West School this year. She is a very bright young lady and entered my classroom ready to learn and help her fellow classmates. Despite being new to the
023school she has gone above and beyond my expectations for a new student making new friends helping classmates when done with her work and taking on any classroom jobs needing attention. She is a true example of the Tiger 5 and I am proud to call her my student. Either one I like to call up Heartland Ranch fourth grader miss Ana y Torres ANAID was nominated by her teacher Miss Adriana Delgado and this is what Miss Delgado had to say. ANAID is a wonderful and outstanding student. She is incredibly kind and always willing to help her peers. If she notices someone struggling with an assignment she's the first to help and she follows through with genuine support. ANAID consistently takes initiative in the classroom. She's often the first to raise her hand to help or to answer
024questions. She always puts forth her best effort in everything she does. Her warm and welcoming personality makes a positive impact on those around her. Anai truly embodies the spirit of our Wildcat roar and lives out all its values every day. Anai Torres. Dr. Dix. Coolidge Junior High is thrilled to be able to nominate Bill Tucker. Bill was nominated by his PE teacher Mr. RJ Ayala and this is what Mr. Ayala has to say. In PE class Bill has shown leadership and displayed what it means to be a Cub. Bill has gone out of his way to constantly encourage students in our class that may not be as athletic as others. He gives advice, he helps them out, he cheers them on. And due to Bill's display of encouragement, it has become infectious in our class.
025Other students have followed suit after seeing Bill's actions and it helped our newer students feel more comfortable about taking PE. It's made for a positive classroom atmosphere. Way to come. Mr. Chapman. Hi, I spoke with Abigail yesterday. She was going to do her best to make it, but I guess she couldn't make it tonight. But I still would like to recognize her. I'm excited to recognize Abigail Holmes as Student of the Month. Abigail is a senior at CAP and on track to graduate. Her academic path has not been easy. but she's risen to the challenge. During our one-on-one meeting to go over her grad plan during our first week, I informed her how close she was to being a high school grad, but she has some challenging classes remaining. To be honest with you, just
026meeting her for the first time, really, I didn't know how she was going to receive this news. She looked at me in the eyes, and she said, okay. And she said, I got this. And I looked over at Mr. Gonzalez because he was sitting with me. I said, I think she's got this. So but just a smile on her face. It just brought total joy to my heart. She has completed a couple classes already just within the first couple weeks. She's already on to her next set of classes and her attitude and determination is amazing and there's no doubt that I know she'll achieve her goal and I know that she will graduate. So please help me congratulate Abigail Holmes. Dr. Ferguson. Constant readjustment here. We had Odin Jackson. I don't think he made it.
027I'll still read through it, of course. So he was nominated by Shaylin Timmons. Said, I would like to recognize Odin Jackson for student of the month. Odin is such a kind and respectful member of my classroom. He is polite when entering the yoga studio and such an open-minded student. He's a student who is willing to learn from both successes and challenges on the mat. While some freshmen struggle to get used to the conscious choice to disconnect in yoga, Odin shows respect for yoga as a discipline, not just as a workout. He honors the class structure and shared space with others. Odin is receptive to all poses and flows in yoga while following cues carefully. His steady demeanor really helps create a more focused and supportive environment. I appreciate that Odin sets a strong example of
028empathy for his classmates. His curiosity and presence in the classroom pushed me to continually improve as a teacher of yoga while challenging his classmates to show up for themselves fully. daily i look forward to seeing everything odin will accomplish during his four years at chs as he navigates high school with a compass aligned to integrity and purpose if you nominated one of these students we'd love you to be in the photo with them please now we're going to do governing board outstanding service awards and we'll start with dr ferguson i know she okay uh chs is cindy hone whatever you choose your best Also nominated by Ms. Shaylin Timmon. She came to me and she said, I got them this month. Don't even bother. I said, all right, let's go. So she says I would
029like to recognize Cindy Honey. Cindy is such a positive member of our campus. She is always workshopping ways to enhance the campus culture. I personally have seen some of the creative things she does in her classroom like having kinesthetic movements for vocabulary words and my dancers always reference that in class. I love how involved Cindy is in getting to know her students interests in sports fine arts and CTE programs. She goes above and beyond to ensure our freshmen feel welcome and supported on campus. I admire that her door is open. always open and she makes sure her students know she is there to tutor, listen, and help them grow into the best versions of themselves. Mr. Chapman. I do believe Melissa is here. I've been waiting on this all week. Yes, I have. It is
030with great pleasure to recognize Melissa Club. Melissa is our administrative assistant and registrar at both CAP and CVA, and she is really, and I'm serious, she is the glue that holds our entire campus together. Her knowledge of systems and procedures, dedication to our students' growth, and connections to our community make her an invaluable asset to our campus. Before I started my new role as principal, Melissa did everything within her power to make sure my transition was as smooth as possible. Not only was Melissa on top of her responsibilities, she also offered to pitch in and help others in their time of need. It was not her job to do that, and no one had to ask her. She just instinctively did it on her own. Her work ethic is unmatched. Her character is second to
031none. Melissa is heaven sent to our campus and an all around amazing person to be around. I can't thank you enough and you couldn't have made my life and transition easier than it has. Please help me recognize Melissa Club. Dr. Dix. The junior high would like to recognize Consuelo Montanez known as Cello. She's always willing to step up and help in any way she can. She coordinates our 21st century grant club clubs and she served as our summer school coordinator doing an outstanding job in both roles. She's highly organized prepared for the new school year and has also taken on the role of mentoring new teachers and she's consistently offering support to those around her. She actually jumped in and started doing lunch duty with us also just because we needed more hands. She volunteered.
032We can always count on her to make others feel welcome and supported, and we're proud to have her as part of our Cub team. And Mrs. Hodge. This is a rare occasion for me, but I would like to recognize Monica Isakiri. And Jess, you could probably come up here with me on that one, right? We're kind of doing this together. But as a district, we are proud to recognize Monica for her outstanding contributions in supporting our district's effort to meet the requirements of a very longstanding agreement with the US Department of Justice. I mean, all of our teachers should know that much of our PD has been focused around supporting our students that are English language learners, and it's because of this agreement. with Monica in the role that she was in, it has alleviated
033a lot of those hours of training. This work began as far back as 2011 with many individuals contributing along the way. In 2021, when a formal agreement was established, Monica stepped into the role as our EL coordinator and embraced the challenge with determination and care. She worked closely with our legal counsel and representatives from the U.S. DOJ to ensure compliance. all while leading professional development that strengthen instructional practices across our schools. Today, Monica continues to make a meaningful impact in the classroom as an English teacher, using her skills and experience to support students directly. Her dedication, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to doing what is best for students truly reflect the heart of our district. Thank you, Monica. Now we go on to our consent agenda. Are there any questions regarding it? I move that we
034approve the consent agenda as presented. Second. All those in favor? Yes. And now we just have governing board and superintendents report and update. We're talking fast meeting. Fast meeting, yes. Lots of recognition and I'll try to be very quick. So we are just about finishing our fourth week of school already. It's hard to believe that we're gonna be in the middle or right at the midpoint of the first quarter. It goes fast. Once we get started, it flies. So I don't know if they all feel that way out here, but I think we're going 100 miles an hour all the time right now. But it's been a great start to the school year. Our leaders have implemented the things that we have decided on as a district with fidelity. I've been in classrooms already this
035year. Kids are already learning. We've looked already at benchmark assessments. Our leaders are taking that back to teachers, looking at the data, making sure that we're making informed decisions on the instruction that is happening in those classrooms. And so we're excited about that. I know there was some conversation about some safety changes we made at one of our campuses. And as far as I know, Mrs. Ferguson, everything is running smoothly, correct? Yeah, it's really important that We are consistently looking at our safety and security measures and when we find something that is not Aligning with our vision for security and safety that we make some adjustments and that that's exactly what we've done and I am appreciative of our parents for working with us and for mrs. Ferguson and mrs. Sheridan Ferguson for making sure
036that they had some things in place that accommodated, especially our littlest learners on going over to where their classrooms are. And so they've made some adjustments there on where that drop off can happen. So we're very, very grateful for that. We have already started our school improvement journey with the Department of Education. We have some of our schools that have been labeled for improvement for specific subgroups that are not testing as well as others. And so West School, Heartland Ranch, Coolidge Junior High have all been labeled for some specific ethnicity subgroups as well as students with disabilities. And then CAP and CVA have both been identified for grad rate and low achievement. Thank you. Goodness, I was thinking, what was that called? Low achievement. So we have a kickoff for Project Momentum, and I would
037like to invite you all at 9 a.m. on August 27th, where we will go through what... this all looks like. And so we have some principal partners that will be working with our principals directly from the Department of Education. on implementing some strategies and things on their campus to increase the proficiency of those specific subgroups. Mr. Chapman has a different principal partner that is specifically aligned to looking at grad rate. And he alluded to this earlier when he talked about the CAP and CVA grad rate. What you need to understand is when a student attends a high school or any of our attends a high school that the clock the clock on them starts ticking right the last school that they attended They are still on our books even if they move away they drop
038out what have you. If they don't enroll somewhere else and request records from us, they are still ours and they count against us as a non-grad. And so when he talks about trying to find those individuals, it's really important that we do. Both CAPs specifically are, we look at the fifth year grad. Right, so if they don't have to graduate on time, we look at those students Well all of our kids they could graduate in four years or five years. And so we're looking at that cohort each year And so while the students that are currently attending the grad rate is higher It drops because of all the students that have either dropped out or are no longer attending So that's where that goes. And so we'll be working on some things strategically to get
039those numbers up. And then lastly, just talking about enrollment, we're up. From the end of last year till now, we're up about 60 kids. If I look at last year, this same time to this year, this same time, we're up about 20 kids. I am going to tell you that is not the norm around the area. Most people are losing enrollment, especially in kinder. And we're actually, and I was a little concerned about kindergarten, but we're actually up three students from last year as compared to the number of students. there second uh first graders and second graders kind of dropped a little bit but we really pick up at sixth grade sixth grade and on we get a lot of enrollment from the surrounding areas and i think that is mainly because of our comprehensive
040programs that we offer throughout the district and so it's really nice to have those things for our kids and so that's helped us maintain that steady enrollment that's all i have Does anyone have any comments they'd like to me yes Thank You Madam Vice President I appreciate all the weekly reports that you guys written out and I was looking for the mobile phone use You know issues related to that but nothing was a found there, but I appreciate you sharing that information I was curious and how that was gonna play out Appreciate the meal planning programs that been put out by Mr. Delbridge. Delbridge, sorry about that. Mr. Delbridge, definitely like the insight of the challenges that may be forthcoming with the cuts with the USDA funding and all that, but definitely appreciate that we
041need to support our students getting fed and so they can do well in classroom and all that. So definitely we'll be tracking the... Your progress there and the challenges there if you can let us know what we can do it from our end Appreciate that as well Lastly, I'm going to put on my VFW hat. I'm a member of the VFW. We have this voice of two Bergerons, Patriots pins for 6th to 8th graders. They write an essay based on a specific topic, as well as a voice of democracy for high school students. The incentive, you know, there's a local incentive of $150 for the one that wins at the local level, and they move on to district and state level. But definitely, I'll send an email out to the superintendent. and I appreciate it.
042You can share this to the students so they can look at it in another venue for them to show where they excel as well as their patriotism. You said sixth through eighth grade? Sixth through eighth grade is Patriot's Pen, and then ninth through 12th is the Voice of Democracy. Two different programs, two different opportunities, and thank you very much for what you all do. Looking forward for the rest of the year. Anyone else? Just one minor comment. Thank you so much for making the the cell phone away for the day system goes so well I I actually sit on advisory board for the tribes tribal Youth Council and The mixed feedback I'm getting from my students that go to our schools and go to other schools who shall not be named So such a nice
043smooth transition on the CUSD side. So awesome. Thank you so much for making that happen. I am telling kids they are not in jail just because they're going to school somewhere else. But if you would like to transition. So just just hold off on the enrollment might be going up for high school and junior high. But. But it's so nice. It's been so awesome to hear my students say that on just that kind of level and know that it's all because of you. So thank you so much for making that happen. And also to Mr. Delbridge, you reminded me, I'm hearing awesome things. about the cafeteria, so hats off to you, dude. But thank you so much for, again, I love this portion of getting to see all the students come up and you all
044acknowledging them. Thank you for all of that and you know that your hard efforts and good work are definitely not falling short. We see it in the students every year, so thank you so much to each of you and to all of your staff. Ditto. And I know how tough this first. I thought we'd only be in two weeks. And my granddaughter informed me no we're four weeks in and I was just floored. I'm like oh where did it go. But I know how tough it is getting started and how hot it is and really appreciate all you do. It's amazing. Thank you. Well I have to agree and I love I know it's not fun to write those reports to the board. I used to have to do it. I remember I didn't like
045it. But we love getting that information because it really helps us get a feel for what's going on. So even though I know it's not your favorite thing, we do appreciate it. And as a governing board, I just want to say we are just so pleased with all of you. for the hard work you're doing, for our parents and our children's reaction to what you're doing. I'm hearing lots of positive things. And I, again, I thought that the first week of school was going to be really hard with not being able to use cell phones. And it went just fine. And as a governing board, we're responsible for the education, safety. and care of all of our students. So anything we have to do to ensure that we're going to do. And I'm one of
046those grandparents who has a grandchild that's a kindergarten student that about the second day of school, he said to his mom, mom, I know where my class is. So I'm just really pleased with what you're doing and the heart that you do it with. Thank you. And do I hear a motion to adjourn? Motion to adjourn. And all those in favor? Yes. Yes. We are adjourned.
