015doing well you're heading for success in your life and I just applaud you for that because a lot of kids just give up and I'm so glad you did not because we got three Superstars here now so great job yes thank you Joanne thank you I also would like to thank Miss Freo and Miss Baka for helping Us in this journey okay thank you absolutely yes well Adrien Leila and Frankie um first of all I want to say how professional you look you look awesome I think if you were to go anywhere I mean I would hire you in a minute this look awesome and your presentation was perfect um I I love that you shared your story especially Leila um you when you said that that you would never you never thought you'd be
016where you're at thought I'd join ASB it wasn't I was never like really into school or anything like at all all but Slover turned it around for me and I'm really grateful for that wonderful that's a beautiful story and I re I really encourage you to share your story with kids around you that you see is are strung struggling like you were you said you were struggling at first and reach out and grab him and you know bring him in you know you're a great mentor um also I think uh um what I I if I were to describe um Slover uh it's almost like a it's a place where where everybody every student thrives and the reason that happens is because of the staff that that you come that takes care of you every
017day and I'm talking teachers and office workers counselors um security uh it seems like it's a it's uh like a safety net that where every adult in that school school is ready to catch you if you know if you're having a a a bad day or if you're struggling um there's always a safety net there for you so um I would also describe it as a as a puzzle that just fits together perfectly because you know I I watch how how staff members step in and step out and you know as you you know they see the need you know emotionally whe whether it's with assignments academics everybody's there to step in and hold you on that safety net so uh I just want to congratulate you but also uh your principal and um every
018teacher every staff member that works with you so thank you so much thank you yes Dan wonderful job uh again I'll I'll Echo the comments that we love hearing your personal stories because I think more than anything that's what inspires us that's what motivates us and I know that it'll Inspire others and it really is Testament to um the fact that there's really no such thing as a bad student there may have been times where you felt like you know what I'm not really good at this and I'm not getting it it's not clicking it must be me when in reality it was never you sometimes we just need to change of venue sometimes we just need a different atmosphere environment everybody learns differently and so just to feel like we have to do it
019this way even though I'm not good at it I'm struggling sometimes it's like let's let's pull back look at it differently try another environment another approach I heard a quote this week that that really struck me and it's something that I think applies and the quote is you know we need to learn to stop struggling to be mediocre at the things we're not good at and instead work hard to become great at the things we're good at and so you simply with Slover and all the incredible staff that we have stop focusing on the things that wasn't working shifted to a new environment a new approach and you're taken off and that's that's the magic here is it's realizing that we have to create environments for all of our kids because everybody learns differently so
020thank you for being the leaders and and sharing your story and continue to do so all right great job thank you Dan gentlemen first of all I want to say thank you thank you for being ASB leader on your campus uh the importance of the leadership the visibility the role modeling is utmost important not only to you but to all the students there on your campus Because you you show by example now your stories that you you mentioned like my colleagues me uh just said incredible because we have many students in our district who struggle but as you did we have many wonderful staff teachers individuals that will help them when they can't get help from nowhere else now Slover is one of the amazing places that we're able to provide that assistance to students
021and I thank not only you but also the wonderful staff like my colleagues did counseling and everyone who's involved with helping provide these type of educational opportunities for you your part is showing your other staff your other student body where they can take advantage of everything that is offered there at Slover you have the Armed Forces come in you have a variety of different events that can highlight and show interest to some of the students that they may be able to go into a career so and of course the educational opportunities like you mentioned you got a scholarship that's incredible that's great you know anyone who gets a scholarship I take my head off to you but you're more than welcome and opportunities because life is built on opportunities and being able to recognize those
022opportunities and take advantage of those opportunities is something that we as individuals want to teach young individuals like yourselves to be able to go out and explore examine educate and learn so as Role Models you sounds like you're doing a wonderful job taking a look at your presentation even though we fumble now and then and that's okay we you you kept it together you kept your cool so to speak I'm stating my age here keeping your cool and you moved on and you continued so that's kudos to you guys so um what I would like to do at this point is to have you come by and Shake everyone's hand at after that I'd like for you to come up and let's stand behind Miss Thorin NOA and i' like to take a picture where

056cryrop and the programs that are on our [Applause] campus good evening um thank you guys so much for for having us and and we want to share that uh cryp has had a phenomenal partnership with um and unified and and we've had that for over 50 years um one of our strongest uh aspects that that we bring um is our Community Partnerships um one thing that we pride ourselves on is uh knowing that it takes a community to get these students across the finish line and um and boy it's it's more than evident what what you're going to hear tonight with with our graduates of our CNA program just what uh the community's done to support them so with uh let me introduce myself my name is Scott Rain I am the new uh student
057services director uh for Colton Redlands Uka Roop um I have spent the last eight years more on the K12 side and so for the last month and a half I've learned um a lot about our adult programs and our phenomenal partnership with Colton adult school and uh Miss Hatter has taken me under her wing and in supporting me and understanding all of the intricacies of bringing the these programs to life but then also the great work that we've done over the years to build immersive programs um that support our students with eliminating barriers to entry when it comes to employment and ensuring that they are well equipped to put them at the front of the line when it comes to gaining that employment so let's go ahead and go to that second do I have
058it perfect awesome one aspect that that folks don't know too much about us at cry is that we're a testing center uh we partner with Pearson view um this is one of those examples of what we provide to our community to eliminate those barriers um as you know as a testing center that's proctored um we we hold testing opportunities for students to test for their GED the CEST the CET um our CNA programs test through our Pearson Center um it's really nice for our students to be able to not only go through their program but then at the end of their program cross that Finish Line start and finish with cryrop um one great enhancement that we have for our community is that not only do we have the main testing center there at our
059cryrop um District facility in Redlands but then we also have a testing center right here at colon um Adult School right uh we also have one in Yuka which is really welcome by that Community I'm going to talk briefly about our vehicle maintenance technician um program uh this program has been at Colton adult school for some time now it uh is 300 hours um and when I say that it's an immersive program um boy do I mean it they get 180 hours in the class with a um with a teacher that is um professional grade um but then they spend 12 hours in the field um at both Tom Bell Chevrolet and the sardino county Fleet Management Department where they get handson and they're working um in a setting to where they're they're putting Vehicles
060back on the road um it's great to have Testament from these students as to just not only the practicality of what they're learning in the classroom but then immediately in that same week they're able to put their their skills to work and have an employer that's there testing those skills making sure that um that what they're doing is actually industry relevant really proud of our certified nursing assistant program this is our first year going after um the IET uh CNA program and um on the heels of what my my predecessor um director Sandy mortensson um and Miss Hatter have put together it's really something special and it's something that we can all U be proud of and um all of you sitting here with your uh tassels dangling uh it's it's you guys were our
061guinea pigs and beyond that uh the stories and the um the life stories that I've heard not only from your instructor but at your uh your small graduation that we had um was really special to hear so um I'm glad that Noel she is here to to share some of that with you and I'm going to hand it over [Applause] hello good evening my name is Noel Sheley I'm a registered nurse and I also have the privilege of teaching the certified um nursing assistant in the IET um program um we have two paths for um students to become certified nursing assistants the first path is our high school after school program that pre prepares students for employment at nurse assistants in that program we teach patient care skills observations and we do take the students
062out to uh geriatric atric long-term care facilities out in the community our goal is to help them be successful in the workplace by bringing um our industry knowledge into the classroom and then carrying that through in the community um employability skills of course are very important and we set workplace expectations so that we support them through that while they're in um class with us and then when we take them out into the community we help them U meet those workplace expectations that are going to be so important once they start working our programs are also very immersive uh 96 hours of classroom instruction and then 110 clinical hours out in um the community working um directly with uh patients and residents and the um Health Care staff the whole um healthc care team at the
063end of that they take a state certification exam um it's a very comprehensive exam they have to learn um 22 um direct patient care skills and they're tested um on five they have to demonstrate five of those skills as well as take a written exam um to be State Certified um the second path is our newest program our integrated education training program which um incorporates uh ESL and our um for our GED and adult uh diploma students um cryrop is in partnership with Colton joint um Unified School District and it's a free integrated um class it has it does have a few uh very low Associated fees for their uniforms fingerprinting licensing CPR those things are all required by the state for them to start working as a health care provider um 17 weeks and
064that does include the clinical experience there are scholarships and grants available um as well as payment plans it is a $3,000 value out in the community if they were to go to a private school to um receive this training it does cost between 2,000 and $3,000 so it is a great value um and it's just a great um program and opportunity thank you um I just want to say one thing that we when I first started I saw the beautiful lab that was on our campus and it had lots of um equipment for CNA it was the high school program that I saw initially and my reaction was we need this an adult aded we need to create something so um I did work with the previous director and we put together a proposal and
065and now we have graduates from our first cohort of adult students and I'm so excited about this so good so as you can see we have a lot going on in adult education and lots of enhancements great work with our education Partners our Workforce partners and before we recognize our graduates and completers I'd like to provide the board an opportunity to ask any questions about our programs and services okay first of all I just want to say thank you to all the presenters that came today to help celebrate these wonderful students accomplishments uh of graduating is there any questions from any members of the board yes Israel just a comment yes thank you thank you again I'm going to kind of ditto what uh the board president said thank you to all all of you

068is a big deal it is a big deal and um uh because I know uh it takes a lot of work and uh a lot of uh prepping and a lot of conversations to get to a good wasque review um I myself have been on on wasque visitation teams all over Southern California and um and I so I I think I know a little bit about what an excellent program looks like and this is an excellent program as you know uh your team that came to visit and spend time with you um as a drive they did your the report they spent I don't know how many days did they say four days with you you know these this team goes in and talks to everybody looks at every program interviews you know students parents
069I mean it's a very intense program and they spent four days and I can tell you they did their report and they they uh walked to their car and they were like wow they they really did they they were like this is amazing so um I just want to congratulate you and and continue the great work thank you Bertha yes Pat I know we want to get to the graduates U Miss Hatter thank you for everything you've done as my colleagues have said uh a year and five months that's tremendous and uh to the graduates I want to say congratulations um you should be really proud of yourself you are an example to others because of your persistence and not giving up and I think that is something to be Beyond proud of that's all
070I wanted to say thank you Pat can I ask a question yes we have a question thank you thank you I do have a question and and and I'd love to follow up because um in in my work life this is something that we're working with our families and our individuals that are that are looking to graduate from high school and I just curious about the options flexibility is so important in adult education because folks are working folks have families um there's Child Care issues Transportation accessibility affordability what I've seen um and it's wonderful that there's opportunities to learn from home and use online but probably the number one request that we get from the from the residents that we serve who are working towards our high school deploma is they'd love to see hybrid
071formats where of course it's great to be be able to work from home but being in a classroom or at least having some face-to-face time with instructors and teachers really helps because again around this idea that everybody learns differently and sometimes you need to have that do we do we offer that are is that an option at times for folks to have more of a hybrid approach where they can certainly do things at home um but also have some FaceTime and interact with one another and with their instructors or teachers yeah that's something we've talked a lot about um what we have done we do have opportunities for students who to come in and work in a lab so they don't have to work at home they can come and work in our assessment center
072and we do have several who take advantage of that opportunity um when it comes to classes online some of it is space related I'm going to throw that out there um because at night our our classrooms are pretty full so um bringing additional teachers on for the face tace um two things space and funding because those are additional hours but what I have talked with some of our teachers about is is doing workshops so if we have students who maybe there's several students who need a workshop in math on a particular topic bringing the students in person for that and we actually um Mr Davila who's here he actually does do that on occasion bring students in person for specific um workshops that's something that um I do want to expand more because I agree
073not everyone um learns at home the best there are lots of distractions Etc so that's something for us to to look at for the future um if we have more space more funding and just looking at different ways our funding is really tight right so in looking at enhancements my objective has been okay what can we do with little or no funding that can make things more accessible more interesting more um engaging and so that's that's our first approach um and looking at new things in the future is is what we'll be doing moving forward I appreciate that I'm sure it's great to get feedback from our participants and the students because I think the the the more that we can create opportunities and customs design it where it fits where many of our folks
074are at and I love the idea of workshops because really that's what what they're asking for is it's great to do the coursework in the classes I can do that they'll say but be able to take my work and sit with somebody and say did I do it right um what did I miss so the idea of having Workshop or a one day where they can come in with with work from various subjects and talk through it with somebody and work through it with somebody would be would be uh ideal so I I appreciate uh everything that we're doing I look forward to growing and expanding and creating the opportunities because I the need is is really there it really truly is um and I'm so excited that we can present an opportunity for folks
075to complete and earn their diplomas and move on so thank you thank you Dan okay Jo thank you thank you so much for this presentation tonight adult education is always since I've been myself in high school a long time ago um I remember my mom grew up during the Depression and they had to leave school because they couldn't afford to have her stay at the farm she had to go work outside another city and when I was in high school mom got sick couldn't go back to work but she went to adult school and I thought why would you do that I mean you're just getting over being sick and you got a family but you know she works so hard and when I see all of you sitting there I know you've all have
076your own stories and those stories are important to share because the impact that left on me as her daughter and I know the neighborhood kids that when we grew up um you really are role models and a lot of people as our colleagues have said there's a lot of people who would like to be able to go on and continue and let them know that this is possible because you enriching your life you're making a difference not only for yourself and your family but all the community and you're making our community stronger so congratulations I know all the work it's exciting for me because I know Mom just they were was just Basics they taught back then and to see how that our program in in adult has changed and it keeps growing and you
077bring in more and more there's so much opportunity today and grab that opportunity and do something for yourself with it and you've already proven that you can do it so congratulations and thank you so much for the being that thank you Joanne Israel yeah one more I have a question actually a comment again uh have we ever thought of uh having a GED program for Spanish speakers we actually do have a GED program for Spanish speakers great so and um the the thing about Spanish speakers um well everyone's busy and so what we have is kind of a combination GED program ESL so we really do want to promote um learning English so for our ESL students we offer Spanish GED as one of the options um it takes a lot of time though and
078that's the student persistence is one of our goals to really increase that persistence so we're looking at ways to make it um accessible and to really motivate people to stick with it because the GD is not it's not an easy test it takes a lot of time and commitment and um that's one of our goals to really get our students to focus in and to be like that cheerleader to make sure that they can um they know that with the persistence they can they can pass those tests so yeah we do have that and that's great that you're doing the ESL and GED at the same time so they get to learn English they get to do their es the GED at the same time because I remember back in the day when my dad
079took his GED it was in English and my dad was a little bit speaking espanol you know a lot of a little bit of uh English but he was able to uh get it done but uh thank you thank you I appreciate that uh to hear that we do have that program available thanks [Applause] okay just one last comment for me is the fact that uh over the the years that I've been in education and uh working with a variety of different programming you know we learn to understand that and appreciate the other programs that we are able to partner with because the more opportunities for us to bring in in the rops uh you know the The Adult Ed programs and all the other programs that service our our students is just going to
080allow us to provide a greater more stronger program and to our students throughout our whole school district and as we know you know uh the more that we're able to work together the stronger we become so you know I just uh have to say that you know for the benefit of all our students as we go through the years it's important for us to continue the Partnerships that we do have and and to work together with all our partners to help support the success of all our students so you know I just want to say thank you to all our partners out there uh I've been fortunate enough to be part and the representative to cry raford 25 years from from this school board and uh and of course uh I'm a strong strong advocate
081of adult education obviously uh because of what I do for a living so uh with that let's go ahead and let's begin the ceremony thank [Applause] you we'd now like to celebrate our graduates and I'd like to invite Miss ché up to introduce our next speaker our next speaker is Miss Yuri Galindo um she has just finished um in our IET nurse assistant program and I want to just say a few words about Miss Galindo I'm really really proud of her um she did a wonderful job during this program she really approached every um challenge um with enthusiasm during her time in the health care facility she definitely would always say I can do that anything that was asked of her I know she's going to have a wonderful career as a certified nurse assistant
082um she is uh so professional really um Embraces teamwork and um would um with her other uh students um she really worked well with them and anybody that ever needed help she was right there um she's really accomplished a lot um and I'm very proud of her thank you good evening um good evening everybody I'm a little bit nervous as you can tell um I want to start with a quote by Robin kosaki the future is created by what we do today not tomorrow this quote always spoke to me guided me to action and decisions inspire me to begin in my journey of s Improvement starting with my desire to learn English and my second language my first language Spanish you can tell uh from there by chance I attend to El meeting where Miss

086speak but let me grab my guitar and I'll play you a song I was cocky and naive when I dropped out of school almost a decade ago I told myself well my father never graduated high school and he's done well with his life well that was in 1978 things are a little bit different now I did however find a job in the Diesel Industry the same year I dropped out of high high school and it did pay well until it didn't I needed certifications to move into the upper echelons of diesel work 3 years later I was capped and earning 1750 in per hour doing the same job other people in my field were doing but they were making $35 per hour straight out of school this frustrated me because my tools my toolbox my
087Snap-on account were quite expensive each week and I could barely afford to live in my tiny one-bedroom apartment behind the Walmart on Washington Street in col I loved my job but I grew to be very resentful the owner would send Fleet mechanics to special training and other states to obtain information on systems we were working on and receive certificates for training hence more money to be earned I was already the head of the fuel injector department at work and was the first and only Apprentice in 25 years to be training in the fuel pump Department I invested my time and my money in the company so why not invest in me however each year that went by I made my case to send to send me to the trainings I was given excuses each year
088and promised that next year would be different if this world a Hallmark movie you'd probably think that this story had a happy ending and I got my wish unfortunately for me this was when I learned that Not only was I Expendable in my company but it was cheaper to let me go and pay the other guys a little more it was the first lesson in my life that I learned about business if you don't make yourself indispensable you are just another number that can be easily erased after that every job I had became harder and harder to keep and find As I Grew Older and my resume grew more extensive with more and more jobs and less and less time spent at each one I realized I had become someone I did not recognize as
089a child I had always dreamed of being that guy who worked for the same company for decades until he retired I never understood the person who went from job to job what kind of life is that so in January of 2024 this year I enrolled at Colton joint adult education to pursue my GED not realizing the school had offered a diploma program I took my assessment test with Miss Maria Felix a few days later I received an email from Miss Rubio informing me that I was eligible for the program if interested I was thrilled to say the least to be allowed to fix my past mistakes the diploma program was very user friendly and if I had any issues or questions I would have Dr Matthew Southerland or sorry Dr Miss Mr Matthew Southerland Miss
090Felix and Miss Rubio ready to help me through the process so on July 13th I obtained my high school diploma and enrolled at San Rino Valley College the same month I thank Miss bin Rubio and her staff who made everything possible I'm just getting started with my college career and I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do possibly journalism not sure yet but we'll see um still I know that I plan on pursuing a bachelor degree and I will never let myself be in a situation again where where I don't have the education or the expertise to back up my goals I have a loving and supportive girlfriend and family who encourag me every day to chase the dreams I once thought were lost to me it is a blessing to be here it

101time and time again those desires and wants of the community that I brought to you went absolutely nowhere have a great night okay thank you Miss via our next is uh charine Gan Hi how are you ple please state your name and your City please there you go okay my name is Charmaine gon and I live in Victorville California I'm um actually here as an advocate for Mr Brandon Blanding who is one of your parents at Grand Terrace Elementary he's the father of Kieran Blanding who is a first grade student um earlier this morning Mr Blanding did send you um and the superintendent and the principal of grand terce an email regarding an incident and incidences that have occurred with his child um the first incident occurred earlier this year where his child was referred
102to counseling services without him being informed um Mr Blanding has been fighting for five years for his parental rights he does have joint legal custodial rights however the school has faed um has failed to honor his joint legal custodial rights on multiple occasions recently on November 1st his child was um ill his child was supposed to be in his custody the school does have a copy of the custody order that on the first third and fifth week he the child is in the custody of the father however the school secretary decided to called the child's mother instead the child's mother came and picked up the child she then in turn refu sorry refused to release the child to Mr Blanding and Mr Blanding was forfeited his visitation for that weekend that as a result is
103affecting the child's emotional well-being in addition to now they are going to be in court starting tomorrow because of the failure of the school to uphold The Joint legal custody agreement in addition to that following that incident on um I think it was Friday on Friday he received a call from the principal asking him to please not come to the school and visit his son in the morning and tell his son good morning um with which is within his joint legal custody rights um he received a call from the school officer Mr Deputy Rodriguez Deputy Rodriguez did ensure him that he is within his joint legal custody rights that he is not violating any legal orders however when Mr Blanding tried to have a conversation with the school principal regarding this she very rooly asked
104him to not come visit and then hung up the phone in his face um this is a terrible issue because now um this man who has been fighting for his rights who has won and has joined legal custody is being denied his joint legal custodial rights regarding the education and the well the well-being of his son when he is on that campus this is a huge problem I'm an educator if you can't tell I've been in education for the past 21 years that's why I'm standing here for him as an advocate I know the system and this is not what we are supposed to do when it comes to children and what is in their best interest it is in their best interest to have both parents active within their education oh um am I

122I start comment I wanted to ask um see what the board's thoughts are uh tonight's graduation was beautiful it was very moving and um there was a presentation before and then the graduation um Miss Hatter is starting to get more and more graduates from the program and I think they deserve a graduation like um like Slover or you know maybe like Washington's I I believe that they deserve that to you know where they can invite their family members and and have that celebration like the other students do and um I would hope that the board would possibly think about that because I think um I mean while it was beautiful and everything but it was at a board meeting and they deserve better I mean when you listen to what those students have done they
123they deserve better so I I hope we can maybe discuss that and um so I wanted to just mention that um I'm sad that uh the ace pack committee left because I know they were going to speak uh when uh Ace's turn to speak this evening but um um I want to thank ace and I want to thank CSA for everything that they did for our campaigns this year um this is my well it's my sixth campaign the first one I lost but this is actually the fifth one I've done um and this campaign was like no other it was very very very difficult um and I know it was difficult for my colleagues as well it was very difficult um you know signs were disappearing and all these different things were happening and it

134excuse me let me congratulate my colleagues on your re-election we are so excited and happy to have you uh it is not an easy thing to run for office it's certainly not something I think any of us when we started our careers and our lives thought we would do but we felt compelled to typically because there was something happening and we felt like we had to get involved we had to get in the game we wanted to make a difference and so it is it is tough when you put yourself out there you become a Target and it is very easy from the outside looking in to point out what is wrong it's difficult to put your hand up and say I'm willing to do what it takes to help make it right and you
135have done that and the voters have spoken loud and clear that col Unified School District is going in the right direction not only with our leadership but I think with the adoption of measure BB again more than two-thirds of the voters said this is a good investment in a year it was really tough to talk about taxes and the economy right this was not an environment you want to put a bond measure on we did and I think the credibility that we had with the community um came through and in the end they said yes for our kids for our schools we will invest so I I want to thank of course and they're not here but Ace CA um and the committee members for measure BB there was lots of folks working behind the
136scenes we had fantastic support from labor groups those Partnerships will continue but I I'm excited for what's to come and I want to congratulate my colleagues and acknowledge that it is not an easy easy thing to do and I think all of us think long and hard because there's a sacrifice we could be home right now all of us everyone in this room could be home right now with their families having dinner or at the soccer field if it's my case I probably better off at this point given the weather but um it is a sacrifice and and I and I want to say thank you as somebody that has three children in the district that are in school um thank you for making that commitment for another four years so and then lastly just
137an an acknowledgement something on a little bit of a somber note but something I felt compelled to say because he was a good friend of mine and a gradu of the district I attended the services today for a good friend of mine um he was Colton High class of 93 so didn't quite make it to 50 he had some health issues but um we'll be thinking of him him and and his family tonight and so um just wanted to acknowledge that his family is out there and and we're thinking about him of course and and love your you know take the time to hug your family members your friends life is precious life is fragile uh we all hope to live for a very long time but sometimes that doesn't happen and um we're blessed
138to be here so thank you for that thank you Dan as my colleagues mentioned yeah this was an interesting election um but uh one of the things for me is the fact that this was probably the first time I've ever had so much help and I uh I truly appreciate it uh and I learned a lot I'm always looking to learn and you know one of the nice things about going out and meeting people and knocking on doors outside of them having a dog chase you away and and doing some other things uh I had one uh gentleman open the door and say no and just close the door and I go okay I didn't say a word and he beat me to it is the fact that uh as I went to the the
139doors and knocked on the doors in Grand Terrace in Colton in Bloomington in South Rich Richie Canyon out of all the doors I knocked and I there was several hundred I mean because I was I mean I started about a month and a half ago only two only two people that I talked to were disgruntled with our district so the majority of the people that I spoke to loved Co Joint Unified School District they loved the teachers the employees they loved what we were doing uh I ran into many of former students who said oh I went to Bloomington High School or I went to col high school or I went to and they continue just saying you know that they just love our district you know I had wonderful principles I had wonderful teachers
140I had I was inspired by by staff at the district so one of the things that I wanted to bring back to you each and every one of you that's here and those who may be listening out there is the fact that we have something special going here and I think that me just saying it you you you probably know this already but by me going going to each door I got I had the opportunity to hear it time and time again so you know I I felt that it was important for me to share this with our all our our employees that are in this room and those who are not here I want to thank uh both unions csca and Ace for their support and and what they contributed to uh our Saturday
141walks and our encounters out in the streets don't go down this street there's a guy going down there with a dog and he's drunk you know we could hear that uh so we're over there but uh it was it was enlightening and and also uh I want to thank the support and the encouragement from everyone that's up here with us my my fellow board members you know a special thanks to each and every one of you for uh your support uh our superintendent assistant superintendent though they have to be really cool about it uh they were very encouraging to me and I appreciate that and you know every once in a while I got the the the message you got to do this right you got to do this you know so and I appreciated
