Before you start, uh can you time the three minutes? >> Pretty sure >> uh give them uh when there's about a minute left, uh let them know. So >> Sure. >> Go ahead. >> Yeah, it's uh first of all, I'm here to fully support Southwest Texas College and I hope that you also do as well. Most of us in here have have gone to Southwest Texas College, but most of us in here really pay taxes to Southwest Texas. So because of that, we have been involved with the college in and out. They produ they provide a lot of things to us that might not be known to everybody. We have teachers that that work together, of course, dual credit courses.
005uh now that I am uh trying to uh get some classes going for those that have graduated from uh from Crystal City High School. I've put I've put out about four or five classes through the college for the folks from here in Crystal. So those those are the things that are coming that we've always had that good relationship between us and Southwest Texas College that has that has never gone away for years and years and years. That relationship has made a difference for Crystal City, for Sala County, Port Rialdi County. Now, nothing nothing having to do with Sol Los Ross or anything like that. They also provide services to us. Some of our students that go through the education process, they take classes at Southwest Texas College and they move on to uh they move
006on to S Ross if they want to go to S Ross to take their their education classes. However, Southwest Texas College uh offers uh connections to all the other universities around Texas. Their courses are accepted at UT, Texas&M, um uh uh UTSA, all over the state of Texas. So, I don't see any benefit right now at this time that we not take courses through the college. Let me tell you, anything that's being offered through Saul Ross and I I appreciate them, but anything that is offered through Soul Ross can be matched by the college. Here's something else that we might not know. There is a lot of a lot of industries coming to Savala County because of the new bridges coming to uh to Eagle Pass. The college is now investing. They're going to invest
007by next summer. They're going to have a vocational building. They're going to start a vocational building here in Crystal City. So this campus is going to grow. We need to support them with as many classes as we can so that the so that we can bring those classes here because Dmond County, Lasal County, all these students are going to come to Crystal City to take classes here. Skilled labor classes. If we support them now as much as we can, you will see the benefits. The Salah County will see the benefit. De County will see the benefits. Asal will see the benefits. But especially us, all the businesses, everything that's coming this way is is going to be a plus plus plus. So if Saul Ross offers something, I'm sure that the college is going to
008counter that offer. Thank you. >> Thank you, Dr. >> Thank you, Mr. Mr. Gonzalez. >> Anybody else, sir? >> Okay. At this point in time, uh, number five, we're going to go into close action. The board of trustees will meet in close uh section as authorized by the Texas government code chapter 551 and the open meetings act. >> The time is 608. Thick soy.
