004a lot as uh as far as having special meetings But at the end of the day, we have to do what's best for our kids and make sure that they are getting to school to and for in a safe manner, and that's to have transportation, period. And I would just like to say thanks to Miss Leaddress, Miss Dr. Joseph, and whoever else I know that put forth the effort to make this happen because I know um the last week has been very stressful for y'all. So kudos to y'all and thank you very much. Keep up the good work because at the end of the day, it's about the children. It's not about adults, it's about children. And if we can't put children first, then something is wrong. Cuz that is our sole purpose. I know
005I'm one that said it's a lot. But guess what? I'm here. And I was the first one to agree to having another meeting. So it's about the children and that's why I'm here. If I can't do anything positive for the children of St. Helena Parish, not just the third district, I say Sangelina Parish, correct? Then I'm defeating my purpose. Right. >> So that's all I have to say. >> Any other board members have any comments? No comments? And lastly, uh motion this meeting is a join.
