At this time, we'll have the swearing in ceremony for Dr. Melissa Butler as a superintendent of Oak County Schools. Dr. Butler, will you step forward? And Judge Huninger, would you please step forward and administer the oath? >> Dr. Butler. I state your name. I will read the entirety of the oath and then you'll make your affirmation. If you'll raise your right hand, I am Melissa Butler. Hope so. You say that, not me. solemnly swear or affirm that I will not that I will truly perform the duties of local school superintendent of the Okoni County School System to the best of
002my ability. I do further swear or affirm that I am not the holder of any unaccounted for public money do this state or any political subdivision or authority thereof and that I will manage the finances of the local school system in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. that I am not the holder of any office of trust under the government of the United States or any other state or any foreign state which I am by the laws of the state of Georgia prohibited from holding and that I am otherwise qualified to hold said office according to the constitution and the laws of Georgia and the final paragraph that I will support the constitution of the United States and of the state of Georgia. [Applause] Some people that's not the [Laughter] [Applause] [Music] Next we
003have the superintendent reports. Dr. Harden, I just thank you, Mr. Ransom. Uh, I wanted to just take a moment and say it's it's truly been an honor to serve as Okone County's interim superintendent, and I um have appreciated your confidence. So, thank you very much. And I want to welcome Dr. Butler. And I want to have a warm welcome for Justin, Natalie, and Luke. Uh you're about to join another family, and that's the Coney County School family. Dr. Butler, you're stepping into a school system filled with extraordinary educators, principles, and staff who are deeply committed to supporting your vision and the work of the board of education. As a former superintendent of this school system, it brings me great joy to see someone of your reputation and stature take the helm. I look forward to
004assisting you in any way I can during the transition. Since our last meeting, uh Craig Ellis, and most of you were there, uh was named our district teacher of the year and uh we were able to celebrate all 12 teachers at the banquet and it was an honor for us and it is an even greater honor to be recognized by your peers. So now we're about some numbers I want to share with you about the district. Our graduation rate for the class of 2025 is 99.7. We were named number one county district for the seventh straight year and the 12th time by niche. Six schools in the top 20. number one county district in Georgia for the 11th straight time and the 13th time overall per school digger. I cannot explain the name. I had
0051158 SAT composite which was number three in the state. There were nine PBIS designations, three title one distinguished schools and 16 commended schools by the national merit scholarship. Now those are the numbers but behind those numbers are the K12 faculty, staff and students who made this a reality and I think we need to uh recognize their effort because without that these numbers would not happen. So, we're still working to let changing subjects e elast uh we are still working to make sure that our citizens are informed and aware of the east uh proposals and uh the one penny sales tax uh will be on the ballot in November. Um, I want to commend the staff. We've been working on social media spots. We've met with every school council of faculties and leadership teams and I
006have uh made information aware to the mayor and councils for the towns in the county. Uh, we've met with the GOP. Uh, tomorrow morning Dr. Butler and Mr. Ransom will meet with the Rotary Club and next week um Miss Parish and I will talk with the Democratic Party at the library. Um, just want to remind everyone that advanced voting will begin October 14th through the 31st. That is next Tuesday and the general election will be November 4th. So that concludes my report unless you have any questions. The early voting will be at the administrative building, the commissioner's office. >> Ardan, we would like to thank you for all the time and hard work and the steady hand on the wheel that you've been the last few months. So, we really appreciate the hard work that
007you've done and glad that you're here for the transition. Thank you. Next we have presentations and discussions. Teaching and learning. Miss Whitaker. >> Good evening board and Dr. Harden. I get to follow up on some of the wonderful news that Dr. Harden shared earlier. Uh we have tonight five items of information and no action items. I'm pleased to share that Colum Ferry Elementary, Okone County Primary School, and Okone County Elementary have been named 2025 Georgia Title One Distinguished Schools. This honor places them among the top 5% of Title One schools statewide based on a combined ELA and math performance from the 2324 school year. Congratulations to these leaders, the faculty, students, and families for this outstanding achievement. The second item of information is our district title three meeting. On September 23rd, Okone County hosted its
008annual Title Three parent night. This event supports and celebrates our multilingual learners and their families. During this event, parents gained a deeper understanding of Title 3 resources, explored strategies to support children's English language development, and received updates on district resources available to them. Families also had the opportunity to connect with teachers, school administrators, and district staff who work together to ensure student success. The third item of information are school improvement visits. During September, the teaching and learning team conducted school improvement visits at all 12 schools. Leaders shared how they developed their school improvement plans, who was involved, and what data informed their work. They discussed key trends, strengths, and areas for growth, aligned professional learning priorities with data, and outlined the use of instructional extension and title one funds. Schools also reflected on survey results
009and resulting actions. These visits promoted district-wide alignment, intentional resource use, and a sustained focus on climate, culture, and instructional improvement. The fourth item of information is our 2025 graduation rate. Okone County Schools achieved a record high graduation rate of 97.7 for the class of 2025 compared to the state average of 87.2%. This success reflects our district's intentional focus on teaching, learning, and student well-being as well as our community's commitment to excellence. I would like to take this opportunity to commend our high school principles, their APS and counselors for their dedication to guiding every student toward success and graduation. And finally, our fifth item of information are our 2025 SAT scores. Okone County Schools earned a composite SAT score of 1158 for 2025, surpassing the state average of 1029 and national average of 996. This achievement
010placed Okone County Schools as number three among Georgia's 165 districts who report data and the only county school system in northeast Georgia in the top 30 statewide. North Okone High ranked number 22 and Okone County High ranked number 29 among 401 high schools together leading Northeast Georgia. Congratulations to our students, teachers, and families on this outstanding accomplishment. That concludes the teaching and learning report unless there are any questions. [Laughter] [Music] There were some great prizes. >> Good evening, Dr. Harden and board members. The October 2025 student services report contains two items of information and four action items. The first item of information is the school choice timeline for the 2627 school year. Applications for school choice will open on Friday, November the 14th at 4 p.m. and the application window will close Friday, January the
0119th, 2026 at 4 p.m. Decision letters will be mailed the following week, Friday, January the 16th, 2026. Applications will be accessible through a Google form link on the main district website as well as on the district social media accounts. This year, all 12 schools will be available for school choice. As in the previous school year, to simplify the process for families and to assist school personnel with planning for school staff allotments, school choice will be be again organized by grade bands K5 and then 612. This means families will make one choice for their child's elementary school and one choice for a secondary pathway for middle school through the completion in high school. The second item of information is the annual is an update on our annual flu vaccine clinics for faculty, staff and their immediate
012families. Each year, Okone County Schools partners with the Okoni County Health Department to provide employees and their immediate families the opportunity to receive the flu vaccine. This year's clinics begin on September the 23rd and will conclude tomorrow. By the end of the clinics, we we will have hosted 14 clinic sites across the district in collaboration with the health department. As of today, we have had 225 faculty, staff, and family members register to receive the vaccine. Student services has four action items for tonight's work session. The first action item is an out-ofstate field trip for North Oak County High School's cross country program to travel to Huntsville, Alabama in December. The second and third action items are out of state field trips for North Oak County High School's girls and boys soccer programs to travel to
013Foley, Alabama in March. And the fourth action item is an outofstate field trip for North Oak County High School's baseball program to travel to Jacksonville, Florida in April. The superintendent's recommendation is to approve the field trips as pres presented. And this concludes student services report unless there are any questions. >> Questions? >> Thank you, Dr. Yansancy. Special education, Miss Cornold. >> Good evening, Dr. Harden and board members. Uh for this evening's uh report, special education has three information items and no action items. Our first item of information is about our preschool mass screenings. Preschool special needs program is a federal amendment to the IDA and it mandates that a range of educational opportunities be provided for preschool students with disabilities ages three through five. Any student or child ages three through five who is experiencing
014significant difficulties or delays in cognitive, communication, motor, social, emotional, or adaptive motor can be referred for services to support our young students in Okone County. We offer these free monthly screenings for children ages three through five to determine what their early intervention needs or supports or therapies would be needed. We strongly believe in early intervention um and early supports for our students. These services are provided within our local community um as well as any students that are transitioning from babies can't wait which is um part C of IDA and that's the early intervention from birth to three. So any students that may be transitioning from babies can't wait can also move into the screening process for us. We advertise these screenings through our local website, through the local newspaper, to um also to child care
015providers and centers within our community. Children are screened on hearing, vision, articulation, and developmental skills. We have parents, preschool teachers, pediatricians, and other professionals that can refer students to our screening. The team consists of uh we have special education teachers, speech pathologists and aiologists also on staff that will help with the assessment process. Following the screening, students then are uh assessed on their scorecard whether or not they need to be referred for a further evaluation. If the children are referred for a comprehensive avow, then they go to an eligibility meeting to determine if they meet state criteria for special education in Okone County schools. The second item of information is our community-based vocational training uh program that we have here in Okon County. Both high schools participate in the community-based uh vocational program. We also
016work within our own schools here in Okone County. Okone Elementary, Malcolm Bridge Elementary are a few of the schools that our students go to, but we also go to Publix. Joe's Joe and Sam's. We work with the Okoni County Resource Council, Yori, um, are just a few of the places that our students go to work. They work with um the custodial staff, the cafeteria, they even work in classrooms um within our school here, especially with the adaptive classes and they work with reading or helping students transition from class to class. Uh they learn a lot of office um skills as well when working in our schools. When they go to Publix, they learn various jobs associated with grocery and retail. They work with stocking shelves, working with um skewing, you know, the skew numbers, matching
017those up, locating them for the shelves. They also do some bagging, um stocking shelves, and they get practice work, you know, talking with customers and employees. Joe's and Sam's is a restaurant and so they get to kind of get the understanding of what it takes to run a restaurant. They clear tables, white tables, stock shelves. They label the bags for Joe and Sam's. And Joe and Sam's actually has a certain dress code which does help our students prepare for employment after uh the Aon County Resource Council is another area that we go to work. We do the uh food for kids program our students and they bag probably 180 um bags of food a week and they work kind of like as a team and in a production line. So they learn a lot of
018great skills there as well. The last item of information is our grad rate to follow up on teaching and learning because our students are a part of the grad rate for that as well. Um here's the grad rate over the past several years. Last year we were 100%. We were very pleased with that and this year we were um very very close with the 98.5. So um as you can see our ranking we were number one in the state of Georgia for uh graduates over 250. We were number four overall. The other three ahead of us had smaller uh cohorts of graduates that um ranked one, two, three. We were number one in our LEA and um we have consistently outperformed the state with over 20% uh consistently. So we are really pleased about that.
019We know that the tapestry of K through 12 for children's education is going from elementary to high school. But when we get to high school, our e our high expectations that we keep for elementary and middle remain, but our administrators and our special education teachers have to kind of personalize that, you know, instruction um more so because the students have to earn credit and they have to be able to earn those credits in order to graduate. So along with the strong co-eing models and the resources that we put into high school and the morning tutoring that the high school teachers provide the titan time the warrior period assisted technology credit recovery CTA courses we work very closely with GVR and high school high-tech the clubs and extracurricular activities really culminate all of this that helps
020our students get across the stage. So, a huge thanks to uh the amount of people that go into helping our special needs students um at all levels but be able to maintain this level of a graduation rate. So, any questions? That's it for special education. >> Any questions? >> Thank go ahead. >> Yes, sir. 14. Thank you. Next we have technology, Mr. McCullers. >> Good evening, board members. Dr. Harden. Carney County Schools technology services report for October 6 includes noformational items and two action items for the October 20th regular session. Our first action item is board policy JCDAF, use of electronic devices by students. My first action item involves revisions to board policy JCDAF, which was developed in response to House Bill 340, the distraction-free education act 2025. The purpose of this policy is to
021ensure that Okone County Schools continues its commitment to fostering a focused and distraction-free learning environment for students. We believe that the academic achievement and student well-being are best supported in classrooms where personal electronic devices do not interfere with instruction, social interaction or student or student engagement. The goal is to minimize distractions, improve academic outcomes, increase meaningful interactions, and focused learning experiences. Superintendent recommends placing the proposed board policy JCDAF, use of electronic devices by students, on the table for public review and comment at the October 20th board meeting. Second action item tonight uh for the next board meeting is the interactive panels pilot. Last school year, we conducted a device pilot at the elementary level where we demoed several different brands and models of interactive panels. The goal at that time was to determine which panel
022best aligns with our instructional model and needs. After gathering teacher and technology feedback, we have decided to move forward with the new line QPRO panels for the second stage of our pilot, the instructional pilot. The focus of this portion of the pilot will be on instructional and innovative uses of the panels in the classroom. Howard Technology Solutions submitted the lowest bid for New Line QR series interactive panels for the instructional pilot project. The superintendent's recommendation is for the board of education to approve Howard Technology Solutions with a bid of $44,144 interactive panels. This project will be paid for using eslass dollars. That concludes the technology services report unless you have any questions. >> Thank you, Mr. Thank you. >> Operations, Dr. White. >> Good evening, board members and Dr. Harden. Operations has four items of
023information for this evening and five action items for this month's regular session. The firstformational item for operations is an update on our energy report. Our kilowatt usage per day for a thousand square feet has been updated for the month of August. The secondformational item is our transportation update. For the previous month, we had 20 uh athletic field trips, excuse me, 20 field trips, 111 athletic trips, 28 special education trips, 216 buses deployed for a total of 11,431 miles. Our third item of information is update on school nutrition participation for the month of September. board members, you'll see that we saw a decrease in participation of breakfast of 49% and lunch participation of 28% as compared to September of 2024. Our fourth item of information is update on ELA East 7 presentations and feedback. staff has
024conducted more than 27 presentations on proposed eastblo 7 projects. School councils, school staff meetings, school leadership meetings, transportation, community organizations, and superintendent advisory groups, which include students, parents, staff, and business leaders. We're grateful for their time, support, and feedback on the proposed projects to maintain our infrastructure to continue student success. North County High School is very excited about their proposed renovation and co-curricular projects. We did have feedback from students, parents, staff, coaches, and administrators that I wanted to update you on. Our original proposal included turfing the soccer field, adding lights to the back practice field, creating a dedicated wrestling room, and expanding athletic storage. However, they identified the need for an auxiliary gym as a higher priority. This need stems from multiple PE classes occurring simultaneously in a single space along with up to 18
025fall and winter sports teams overlapping and sharing the current indoor practice facilities. Aone County High School is also excited about finally having a blue roof on a blue school to proudly reflect their school colors, adding changing rooms and extending the back practice field to a fulllength field with lights, which will allow for multiple team practices on campus simultaneously. Instead of adding a fourth field, the preference is to turf the field near the student parking where we can put in comp where we put in competition lights this last summer. This proposal would provide valuable flexibility, enabling practices to continue even after multiple days of rain and grow their athletic capacity. Operations has five action items for the October 20th regular session. Our first action item is the replacement of six school buses school buses which includes
026three 77 passenger buses and three sped buses as part of our replacement cycle. The superintendent's recommendation is for the board of education to approve the purchase of these buses from Rush Truck Centers for a proposal cost of $937,800 at the October 20th, 2025 regular board session. This project will be paid for using Eastblo and general fund dollars. Operation's second action item for this month's regular session is our vehicle surplus list. You'll see that we have six buses and seven white fleet vehicles that need to be surplused based on our replacement cycle and cost of repairs. We have several buses noted where engine replacement is required which is cost prohibited based on the current price of a bus. Our third action item is a new radio system for transportation. We currently have analog radios and a
027private radio system on each bus. Feedback from drivers, transportation staff, schoolfront offices, and principles is that the current communication systems are not user-friendly and not meeting our communication needs. This new system would replace the existing system with a newer digital system, which does not rely on cell service and continues private channels for communication. This project would include new base stations in each school and a new antenna on our current radio tower. We already have an agreement with Alpha Communications and have compatible radios in our fleet, thus allowing native integration with existing devices. The superintendent's recommendations for the board of education to approve the purchase of a new radio system from Alpha Communications for a proposal cost of $61,290 at the October 20th, 2025 regular board session. This project will be paid for using East Lost
028and general fund dollars. Our fourth action item is a new camera system for school buses. We currently have three brands of cameras on our buses that take four different hard drives. Drivers must physically come to transportation for transportation staff to download the video, analyze, and then share as appropriate. This new camera system will be cellular, integrate with our existing onboard cameras, and expedite video requests. In addition to operational efficiencies, this project will also increase safety in our buses by allowing for real-time monitoring and enhance incident response. The superintendent's recommendation is for the board of education to approve the purchase of a cellular camera system from Rush Truck Centers for a proposal cost of $191,18860 at the October 20th, 2025 regular board session. This project will be paid for using East Bloss and general fund dollars.
029Our final action item is for the repair of the visitor bleachers in North Okone in their main gym. The bleachers are original to the school and each bleacher set contains four banks of bleachers. One bank of bleachers is not operating correctly, which means that bleachers are only able to be fully extended or retract. They are unable to be in any other position or the bank of bleachers binds the remaining three. If the bleachers are not pushed on all the way, North County loses access to two basketball goals in the gym. Without repair, the bleachers could become static and unmovable if repair is delayed. This affects the effic the efficiency and use of that space for instruction and athletics, which occurs multiple times a day. To resolve this, the beacher blank must be disassembled, repaired, and
030then reassembled. This repair will be done in coordination with the school and athletic schedules because we are expecting up to 14 weeks on parts due to retooling of machinery for custom parts and up to a week of downtime. The superintendent's recommendations for the board of education to approve these repairs from Hodgej for a proposal cost of $43,800 at the October 20th, 2025 regular board session. This project will be paid for using East Boston general fund dollars. This concludes the operations report unless there are any questions. >> Sir, thank you. I have a few um one I want to say thank you. I know in our meetings um when you're going through these budget items or these potential items, we always highlight how it will be paid for. Um and do want to to draw attention
031to what you were saying. Also, it is coming from um our east bloss or at least a portion of it will. So, thank you for highlighting that. Looking at uh one other piece on the bleacher repair. I've heard from numerous people about that over the last few weeks. So, I'm very pleased to hear that um is getting attention. Yes, sir. >> But looking at the the transportation cellular camera system >> for those for that camera system, are those existing cameras both um surveilling the interior of our buses and the exterior or is it just one or the other? >> So, we currently have them inside of the bus right now. It does give us eyes outside of the bus in certain areas. >> Okay. And then as we migrate to a cellular system and other
032different bands of cellular systems out there, are we going to have sufficient coverage on each of our bus routes for that cellular system to upload or is it managed >> differently? whether they're here in Aona County or in another county or somewhere else in the southeast, if they hit a dead zone anywhere as far as cell coverage, it actually stores it on the hard drive and then when it hits cell service, it uploads to the cloud from there. >> Excellent. Thank you very much. >> Yes, sir. >> Facilities, Mr. Rickardson. >> Good evening. The Okone County Schools Operations and Facilities October 5th, 2025 Board of Education report contains two items of information and two action items for the October 20th, 2025 board of education meeting. First item of information is the lead custodian meeting. The
033September lead custodian meeting was held on Thursday, September 11th, and was dis was hosted by the team at Rocky Branch Elementary School. The team discussed disease prevention and storm preparedness. Our custodial teams are to be commended for their rigorous work ensuring that our schools are clean for health. I pushed the wrong button. Uh second of information is the construction update. First is districtwide generators. All of the generators are installed and operational. We're currently installing a monitoring system so that we can so that we will be notified remotely if there's any issues with the generators. Second is transportation offices. The design work continues on for the new transportation offices as we um prepare to get everything ready to go to bid. Our first action item is capital outlay project uh application. The capital outlay project application
034is a is a request for state funding for future projects. Board members, I'd like to remind you of a few things related to the application. We are required to make the application well in advance of actually doing the work. Also, the board is also allowed to pass a resolution to amend the application in the future if necessary. The amounts shown on this slide are simply the amounts that are that are eligible from the state provided that we spend the required local funds amount. And lastly, the amount provided by the state is based on their formula for a specific item. That amount usually falls within 20 to 40% of the total project cost. We won't know the total project cost until the design is completed in the future. The superintendent's recommendation is for the board of
035education to approve the FY27 capital application capital outlay application project application in the October board meeting. You'll see here a slide of the North Okone storm water pipe project. If you look in green, that is the area that we repaired last month that was uh related to the sinkhole. We replaced 300 linear feet of storm pipe that related to that sinkhole. So basically with the piping that had to be replaced, we had to go back 300 ft before we found sound pipe to attach to. What we found through this process though is we videoed the interior of all the storm pipes at North Oak County and we discovered that um the area shown in yellow which is 520 linear feet going from the manhole we were working at all the way to the detention pond
036is completely deteriorated. So we need to replace that piping as well. Um through this process we also identified numerous other issues within the storm piping but these issues aren't critical at this time and will likely be addressed in future in the future proposed renovation at North Okone. We solicited proposals from three contractors to replace the 520 ft of pipe. The superintendent's recommendation is for the board of education to approve Smith & Company for the proposal cost of $111,273 and Bree Love Land Printing for a proposal cost of $3,500 at the October 20th, 2025 board meeting. This project will be paid for using East Bloss and general fund dollars. And that includes the facilities report, unless there are any questions. >> Thank you, Mr. Rickson. Human Resources. Mr. K. >> Good evening, board members and Dr.
037Harden. Human resources report this evening contains two items of information and no action items. Our first item of information is an update on our transition to the YAS platform. The first phase of that transition, moving our substitute management operation to YAS, is complete. At this time, all substitute management is being completed through the YOS platform. As with any major system transition, there have been a few challenges uh and adjustments along the way. Change is never easy, but our team has been proactive in addressing the concerns and needs of our staff. To support substitutes through this change, we are offering multiple in-person training sessions here at the ISC, the first of which was earlier today. In addition, we have shared detailed step-by-step PDF guides and instructional videos with both staff and substitutes to walk them through
038the system and how to use it. These resources are available any time for review and our team continues to provide one-on-one support as needed. We are also actively listening to the feedback that we've received from our substitutes and staff and are working closely with Yas to implement several of those suggestions in real time. We intentionally tackled the most challenging and interactive area first, substitute management. Moving forward, the remaining phases of this transition, bringing our hiring platform, personnel documents, and HR processes into YAS will not be as substantially noticeable throughout the district. These changes will largely improve back-end efficiency and streamline operations for staff while m uh minimizing disruption at the school level. While we will continue to work through the natural kinks of a new system, we are already seeing the benefits of a more
039unified platform and remain confident that the move to Yos will serve our staff and schools well in the long term. Our second item of information is an update on our Mark III transition. All benefit selections for the upcoming year have been finalized in partnership with Mark II. This process has allowed us to expand and enhance offerings for staff to ensure employees are well informed ahead of open enrollment. A representative from Mark III is visiting every location in the district to hostformational staff meetings. These sessions will highlight new benefits, enhancements to the current offerings, and provide staff with the opportunity to ask questions directly of the experts at Mark II. In addition to the staff meetings, Mark III representatives will also be on site at each location during the open enrollment period. They will be available
040for one-on-one meetings with each and every staff member in our school district. Our goal is 100% of staff to sit down one-on-one. This transition has been intentionally designed to prioritize education, transparency, and accessibility for our staff by engaging employees directly at their schools and departments. We're ensuring every staff member feels supported and confident as they make these important benefit decisions for themselves and their families. This concludes the human resources report this evening, but we remain available if there are any questions. >> Thank you, Mr. Cover. >> Yes, sir. >> Communications, Mr. Car. >> Thank you, Mr. Ransom. Good evening, board members and Dr. Harden. Communications report this evening contains two items of information. The first is September social media information. Aone County Schools had 38 social media posts in September with an average of 20,741
041views. For the month, 27 posts were viewed more than 10,000 times, including three at 70,000, two at 40,000, two at 30,000, and five at 20,000. The top post for the month was the announcement of the National Merit Scholarship Program. 16 commended students combined with the 11 national semi-finalists we announced earlier. Those two posts combined for 122,000 views. The top 10 post for the month had a great deal of variety, including the National Merit Scholars along with teachers of the year, the September 11th commemoration, the opening of a roundabout impacting North Oone and Rocky Branch, behind the scenes with Dove Creek Middle, and of course, the announcement of Dr. Melissa Butler as our new superintendent. Okone County Schools gained 109 followers in September, giving the district 23,73 followers on social media, including more than 12,000 for
042the first time ever on Facebook. In addition, the OCS newsletter was opened 10,426 times at a rate of 71%. The industry average for education is 35%. We are so appreciative of the parents, students, community members, businesses, and media outlets that follow and engage with OCS on social media accounts. The second item of information is the September highlights video. [Music] And that concludes communications unless there are any questions from me. >> Questions. >> Thank you, Mr. Carwick. We do have a need to discuss personnel and need a motion to enter executive session. I'll make a motion that the board will adjourn to executive session to discuss or deliberate upon personnel matters as described on the affidavit to be attached to the minutes. >> Miss Parish. >> Second. Mr. Hammock. All in favor? Passes 5-0. We are
043return to executive session.
