If you remember last year, we did this as well, but we then cancelled our approval because we base it on what the

Superintendent report. >> Yes. First of all, uh, piggyback on what, uh, Colleen said, I I do want to say thank you to everyone that put a lot of, um, hours in, um, canvasing, campaigning, um, whatever it was. We we truly appreciate it. Um, I'm going to give a special shout out to our buddy Xander out there who, uh, has just been a force of nature, shall we say, from the student body, and we love to see it when our students want to get involved. And also, yes, Sander, thank
010you. This is his second year or second campaign he's helping us with and just a a real neat person to be around, but um we really truly appreciate it. We understand the hardships with the economy right now. We we are very understanding of that, but we also know that um this is the way schools are funded in the state of Ohio. Um, and uh, I'm going to give you one one piece of data, and I said it over and over today in in many interviews. In 1999, when the first Dalph case was uh, found the way we fund schools unconstitutional, um, the local taxpayers were responsible for about 47% of the property tax and, um, it is now up to 67%. And that just shows you how much more our um is being put on
011the shoulders of our local homeowners or business owners. At the end of the day, we have to find a different way to fund schools and we need true tax reform. But I do applaud everyone that helped and came out and voted. Um we really truly appreciate that. And if you have questions, please seek us out. um it may be something we can talk about or answer and and help you understand um what the whole financial situation of of funding and and everything else is with schools. So again, thank you. Also a reminder, um this weekend the first school play, The Outsiders, um it is at 7 o'clock on Friday and Saturday and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.
