Susie, before we adjourn to close session, do we have anyone here who would like to speak to an item on the close session agenda? >> Yes, Elsa Grahova. Hello. >> Good afternoon, governing board. Uh my name is Elsa Graalo. I'm here on behalf of my son. He wanted to speak here tonight, but he's on he's a firefighter and he couldn't get off duty, so I came on I'm speaking on his behalf. Um to whom it may concern. My name is Matthew Dick and I a former player of Coach Hower. I want to let you know he was far more than a football coach. He was a mentor who instilled in me the values of accountability, discipline, and high standards. He held us responsible for our
004actions both on and off the field. And he made it clear that true success came from effort, integrity, and respect. His influence extended beyond the game, shaping my character and molding me into the man I am today. The values I gained from Coach Hower continue to guide me in my professional career as a fire captain where accountability, leadership, and service to others are essential. The high standards he set on the field translated directly into the expectations I now uphold in the fire service. I can confidently say that his coaching played a pivotal role in preparing me to lead others in high pressure situations. On a personal note, coach Howser made us made such a profound impact on my life that I looked forward to the day that my own son could play football for him.
005I knew he would be in good hands under the same guidance and mentorship that helped shape me. Few people have the ability to inspire and influence across generations the way he does. Coach Hower is not only an outstanding coach, but also a man of integrity and character. His influence is lasting and his dedication to building young men into leaders is evident in the countless lives he has touched. I am forever grateful for what he has done for me. Sincerely, Matthew Dick. >> Thank you. >> There are no more requests to speak. Okay, with that we will adjourn to close session.
