Whythe High School, last year, our football team won the state championship, but we were remiss in failing to get Mr. Jacobs a championship ring. And a superintendent should always have a championship ring when he offers the support that we received um for our football team. So, I came here today to present him with a championship ring.

And as always, we appreciate the hard work she does in with our finances. And at this time, we'll turn it over to the superintendent. All
005right. Number six, review of the revised auxiliary bus driver description and salary schedule in vote on it in May. Um you know, when we do something like that, we have to present it and let it sit for a while. And what we're trying to do is for our teachers and and our staff that have bus license, uh to help encourage them to drive more and help us out. And this would allow them to be able to, you know, run a morning route or an afternoon route or you know, receive payment if they're going to ball games and things like that. It just just a way to help our employees out because we need all the help we can with our bus drivers. So, that's that is the gist behind why we're doing this right here.
006So, we'll vote on that in May. So, if you have any questions, you can call me or or Dr. Kelly, either one, about that. Okay.

Number nine, along that same line, uh we've always provided uh some financial support for summer maintenance needs to our schools. And you're going to see
008there's a discrepancy in the amount between schools. So, what we have what we did, we took We did this last year. We took the square footage of every school and allotted per school depending on their square footage so that it's it's more equal than just giving a flat amount to everyone.
