002a lot of talent and I believe a lot of that Talent is is graduating this year so uh even Mr um Hughes was awwesome he he was there for the offer was GRE from the pit talk to him afterwards um I was also yesterday uh I attended the um Wizards game I think we were all in attendant at the Wizard game it was so much fun and the staff that participated it was a trip it was great to watch you guys I mean the Wizards are obviously their own theatrics you know and themselves but it was so much fun to watch the teachers interact and the teachers have fun I'm not to call anybody out I mean you know I'm sure there's video ni shot Lori a smile on their face aw time all the
003kids were so happy and I mean I could find like they just wanted money to go buy snacks and they were otherwise they were totally interactive with the Wizards and the teachings and the coaches teachers was great I'll just I I was at the game it was amazing I mean we got to find a way to get them back here um the community was really really excited um and the PTA was uh really working hard this past few weeks uh I went to We the People um that was a a tremendous event I um I went to the one last year and sadly by the end or by the last hour um some of the food was you know sparse but man not this time it's just those Crepes kept rolling um it was a
004really great event a lot of people were um happy to be there happy to see all the Traditions from all the different um areas of the world uh that we're represented and I'm sure we'll continue with that in the future well I'm sorry I also forgot the basketball team I watch the games I I subscribed to the network I watched i' watch all the games it's it's a hard loss but they played so hard they all did they all played really really well so the coach all his his staff and all the players and their families that I'm sure roove all the way up there to watch them we were uped quite a bit they still played hard they had the heart you can see the heart there everybody has the heart sorry uh yeah
005I wi the Wizards game also I mean I know we're just talking about the same thing but once again great event I think we need more events like that kids fantastic I me he was like hurting cats at one point trying to get off the court but uh the only complaint would have is no defense our home team none not what he tried to stop one of those dunks part of the contract fact K was dancing half the time I don't blame them we pay their insurance no it was it was a great event I hope we have more like that I think that's uh it's a event that kind of encompasses all the different aspects of what makes our district great and how our parents are involved it really was nice to see so
006hopefully more stuff like in the future at least Wizards again so yeah as the one mom who got out there in the court to danc we all was a fun now I think it was great for the kids but I also think it was great for the parents there was the kids were all running around got to see kids they don't always get to see and then also the parents were able to catch up it's a great experience okay uh we can move on to superintendent's announcements all right good evening everyone thanks for all being here so uh for the past couple board meetings we've started with a reading and phonics update from our assistant superintendent Mr aretta and he's prepared to give a a brief update on where we are and with the timeline
007sure sure yeah tonight is very uh brief uh no slides um sorry for you all at home thanks [Laughter] good um a very brief uh update tonight no slides on the last superintendent's conference day uh teams of teachers at Cottage L and William was schaer uh reviewed the materials from three of the reading programs that we are looking at um that we saw vendors with the previous week um so I think I said in the last update they didn't really have a chance to look at the materials when they're heing from the vendor so this really gave them the afternoon to kind of delve into those materials uh just to kind of take notes you know see what some of their questions were um so for next steps so the principles currently at WIlliam Mo
008shaer and Cottage Lane are developing a schedule to get so those materials are still living at the buildings um and so to get more teachers the opportunity materials so um the administration at L schaer and Cottage Lane are developing a schedule through team time where other teachers were not on Ela leadership have a chance to look at those materials and again POS questions uh look at strengths look at weaknesses of those different programs uh my office is reaching out to the vendors of those three programs uh to find out if there are I think we know the answer to this already but we want to do our due diligence of are local schools that are using some of these programs so that either we can go visit um or at the very least have zoom
009conversations with some of the the the the teachers who are using the programs again I suspect based on our previous research that there aren't a lot um so we're we're expanding to look for other similar schools um either in New York state or um other neighboring states where we could have zoom conversations just to hear from teachers who are using these programs um and so those are kind of those are some of the The Next Step that we'll be taking with the the reading review uh and with phonics uh we met with um the representatives from imsc and that was me and the administrators from Cottage L schaer um and we just to hear about the the logistics with the training schedule and then so now um Dr star and Dr page and Miss beg
010Mr galin are developing schedules for their buildings to get uh the training up and running uh in the two buildings um so that is tonight's reading update thanks Mr arietta any questions yes of course I do um what are the three vendors can I ask that question yep so uh Arc is one vendor arts and letters is the other program uh and amplify CK CK is the third so are we utilizing these programs as the main program and then implementing the other programs that some of the teachers have certifications in so this would be when we Mak when we make this decision and fully implemented this will be our reading and writing program specifically so we won't be implementing any extra well I think you know something that I've shared all throughout I think that
011even now you know there are teachers that make adjustments all the time you know using their different training and their different experience and also based on the the needs of the kids that are sitting in front of them right um so I would hope that that would still go on so we they could still utilize programs that they might feel or areas of yeah they feel would meet the needs of their kids that are sitting in front of them and their expertise and their training that they've had throughout the years want them to to be able to have that you know that freedom and that flexibility good and now the like team leaders and are they getting extra training to train new newer teachers that might come into the district or um soers the team
012leader so no uh so a lot of that would fall on the coaches and then the also there'll be training from whatever program that we get there'll be some training um and I think then we'll start to build that capacity as people have experience and then each new teacher that comes into the district gets a mentor um and so Dr Lloyd and I work together to assign those mentors of someone who has a similar experience so they would help with that transition um not necessarily train them like but help them with that transition okay and what and uh what's the training for the uh phonics the phonics is 30 hours and so that's for the phonics at schaer and for the morphology or the word study program at LS 30 hours then if we could
013possibly just get understanding of the schedules that the teachers have to keep because I know we probably go into the summer time at this point yeah we're working on that now and so as soon as we have that hammered out which we expect to by early next week share that okay thank you will there be any way for them to fill the training before the summer say weekends or is it going to be solely Monday through Friday so the the you know the goal is to do it um is to do it before the summer comes okay uh because we can't force anyone at night or on the weekends or even during the summer um so we floated a survey out there just to see who had availability during the summer and who might be
014involved just so that gives us a little bit of flexibility um but we don't want to rely on that we want to get as much done during the uh um the rest of the school year that we have the challenge is obviously the end of the year is a very busy time so and I think that's what um the administrators at each of the two buildings are trying to manage right now is just trying to make sure that they are doing things so that they're also accounting for all those different activities how are we going to handle um say someone has some type of medical family emergency and they're unable to participate how are we going to handle the the training for that particular person yeah so I think then in those special occasions then
015obviously that would if they're available um to to do it during the summer I think also we might have new hires um so then we'll work with Dr Lloyd's office to to get those new hires so I think if if there are special instances of we can't again force them to do it um during the summer but we'll be very you know we'll be as flexible as we can and hopefully that they'll be you know open to getting that training that my next question the new hires I mean they would have to come on board with the new curriculum or they don't receive any of this in college do they they get some background in the science of reading and some of the the you know the Core Concepts of how to teach reading but
016as far as like this program goes they may or may not depending on where they student taught as well um so we get them on to work with Dr Lloyd's office to get them on board as quickly as possible and I think that's one of the other beauties of this program is they have training every single week that you can name so all throughout the summer there's trainings that are uh available through this program so is it safe to say the new hires will be on this program in the summertime and anybody who for whatever reason doesn't get the training done before the summertime will be in with the new hires is that how it's going to work yeah could happen yeah or you know I think also the other thing that could happen is
017that uh that some of our our teachers I think kind of alluding to the question you just asked is that our our coaches and our teachers can get them up to speed and then they can get them into a training like early September um again also a challenging time of the year you know schools are always busy all the time um but again I think one of the benefits of this program is that a the training is very rigorous um and then B the training is available all the time they do have trainings like you could do if you wanted to you could do trainings you know uh every Thursday night to 9 for the next you know until you get the 30 hours you could do trainings on Saturdays you could do trainings you
018know again we can't force people to do those things um but in special situations you know I think that that gives us um another option to have conversation with folks we can get it I would just add anytime a teacher comes into the district from another school or another District as often times they're using different programs and we're we're pretty experienced at bringing them up to speed typically we'd hire before the summer so uh especially with the notification Clause that we know what positions Joe do you want to add something exp team that's pris to being in South we are collaborating try to see if there some people might talk the language try our MH next thanks Dr Lloyd all right thank you all right so continuing on with my superintendent report so this winter
019sports season was the best winter season in tapen high school history the winter season was one for the record books we won four section championships five League championships a county championship in wrestling for the first time in over 40 years and all of our teams will qualify for the New York State scholar athlete team award except for two teams uh and the GPA on those teams was 88.7 and 89.3 all the other teams were over uh a 90 average so we're really proud of our sports program and congratulations Mr pill and to all the coaches and to the kids for an amazing winter season um continuing on with that theme as you heard uh Miss corbel mentioned our boys basketball team won the Regional Championship uh and did Advan the state semi-finals in Bingington last
020Thursday and the team did fall event to the eventual New York state championship Champion Binghamton uh it was a hard fat game it was coincidentally held in Binghamton to Mr pillow's point we were outnumbered in the stands and while the outcome was not what we had hoped for our team had a tremendous season played a great game and they were League section and Regional champions in class daa and made it to the New York State final four so congratulations to our boys basketball team so also mentioned uh in a board report out uh the taeny high school spring musical spring musical the TZ players held three performances over the weekend Joseph and the Technicolor Dream Coat it was an outstanding performance it was one of the best plays I've had the pleasure of attending uh

024you I also want to just highlight this year uh tapen high school did something a little different you know for the past couple years they've been hosting career speaker series and this year they had a different um event they held it on one of our half dayss so that students can choose um and be exposed to different careers so we had more than three dozen alumni parents and community volunteers including board vice president Dave Sansone and uh Jonathan Corel husband of board member Diana Corel thank you guys for volunteering your time that day and coming to the high school and that was on March 14th and it was a tremendous success so as I mentioned it was a halfday event was on a superintendent conference day students had the ability to choose sessions of their

026are faced with the tax cap that's been in place since 2012 we know that we have Rising costs in salaries health care costs uh health care benefits and inflationary increases that are happening across the board every area that we've looked at we've seen increases um and we're we're working hard to make sure that we can meet that demand acoss Ross the board we're looking to close a $3 million budget Gap while avoiding any impact to existing staff programs or services and I know that's something that the board has mentioned in the past and that's what we're going to work through um in our last budget Workshop tonight's budget workshop and we have added a budget Workshop uh for April 3rd so to accomplish this goal um we are uh recommending and have recommended and we've
027talked about in our budget workshops capturing savings through uh normal retirements breakage through attrition uh while also utilizing some unrestricted fund balance and reserves to close the gap so at this time I'll turn it over to Mr Finn and we can adjourn yeah well uh or we have business sorry we have business y um and public commentary do we have any y sorry I got it while we wait for one second I just want to uh add on that career Expo I I could not believe the am amount of presenters we had it was amazing that you know I when I saw the um the graph or whatever you know the the presentation of all the different ones said oh that's the first session the SE oh no they're all the sessions I only got
028to attend the third um but man it's great to see so many people from the community coming in here and really standing for the children to to give them an opportunity to see what's out there um because I know I went to college undecided and I'm sure there's kids there that are still undecided and what their Futures are and and that's a great thing that that you um presented to them so thank you for that all right so uh no P I forgot to mention that I honestly it feels like it was a while ago but yeah I forgot to mention that day thank you for the opportunity I had a great time with Diana's husband um it was much easier as the time went by I kind of understand how teachers have lessons plans
029now um no it was a nice experience and uh I hope they enjoyed the videos we g a little swag and the only time I was actually nervous was my son showed up on announcing the third one I mean I figured that would have been easier but actually it was harder but appreciate the opportunity I'll do it again please let me know thank you all right so moving on from public commentary um board discussion are there any committee reports I don't believe I don't know uh policy committee um I regret to inform the room I left my notes at home so I don't know if uh somebody else can help me out with the policy committee I it's sitting on my desk right now I apologize I didn't bring my notes I think there was
030just some discussion but I don't think there's any policies to put forward yes so we're oh the heat the index policy yeah right but there's no policies coming forward tonight right correct that's correct yes all right so we can have maybe a a a brief update at the next meeting if we need uh we had the Safety Committee want take that that's right got you um we discussed uh technology updates I think we discussed the the possible cameras being introduced this year we discussed uh the different films that could be applied to the exterior of the entrances and the windows that could um create ballistic protection um it was I don't know if anything was agreed upon for certain but I think we discussed there were different um offers made by three different companies we're
031going to get a look at that see which one is a possibility or we might like to talk to them further I think we discussed uh was it the the drill we had in February what's up and we do more moving forward yes yes uh we're hoping to see more um involvement with OPD moving forward I think that that was a good um exercise with them I think they they took it seriously as did we and uh I think hopefully in the future we could get more realistic and maybe you know start farther away from the building could utilize the cameras more maybe some curve balls but I think this was the right direction forward to have proper training so God forbid if something happens you know it's not going to be chaos and confusion
032we hope it's not going to be chaos and confusion I think also we mentioned informing the community when we are doing it to they see what exactly most yeah I think uh DET so we got upstaged by our neighboring School District I think we should have done some type of social media post because unfortunately today's day and age people don't have the attention spans and the emails are abundant and overwhelming so I think we would have benefited from maybe just one picture on social media because Pearl River beat us in that regard I mean we had an email going out telling everybody what we're doing but I think something would have brought the idea home I think even showing the involvement of having AB is there showing how serious we are taking it to make
033sure if it was to God for whatever happened we have every party in play to make sure that and these these are all lessons that we learned and these these are things we can move on from and do the next drill better for you know different pieces of input all the constructive criticism I think that we we heard heard and it'll be only get better and more involved so I think since the first one we did the second one was better so like you said we'll get better each time but I think it's only improving um John I mean it is an overwhelming thing to involve different agencies really appreciate what you did uh I know it's not easy so thank you for putting that together please let us know how the board can help
034you in the future to uh I guess expand thank you thank you all right um we do have one agenda and I don't know if there's anything else that the board wants to discuss on the agenda items before I go over the agendum I mean you can read it if you want but I only saw this at 4 o'clock today so I'm not comfortable approving it okay do you have any questions on it right now or no I think that four o'clock today with a $40,000 price tag is not a good idea I I think with the budget coming up it was uh was not time well and I just don't think it's the proper and professional way to go forward with this so I need I'm not going to vote on it today okay
035is that going to would it be okay if I provided a explanation it we don't work like this we have very extensive Jobs family lives Etc and giving this agenda addendum for $40,000 at 4:00 today is is not okay we've talked about this in the past I can't good faith the budget coming up agree to $40,000 we're talking about potential Cuts it's not an addition to the budget it's existing lines that were earmarked for this purpose they're consolidating the lines to help I see where they are in the book and I'm going to say it again to you I am not going to agree to this today it is unprofessional that we got this when we did we have a lot going on our lives right now everybody's extremely busy and I do not like
036dealing with $40,000 whether it's in the budget or not being dropped on our laps at 4:00 it can't happen like that and the espot team we knew were going to Worlds so they were going to Worlds last Wednesday I believe right is when we found out when when were they going when did we know when we no no but when were we when was it week can a half now okay thank am I don't think the board's against it I think the problem is should have had this Thursday morning cuz I think this trip was anticipated this wasn't just something that came for the moment so I think that's the problem and I understand their line items I understand it's in the budget and I see where it is I match the numbers up but
037this is a substantial amount of money I wasn't aware of and if we're discussing Cuts I think we need to have a hard discussion about this too um I think there's a lot of nuance to this event itself we're not against the Bots at all we support them we love what they do it's fantastic for for many different reasons but getting at 4:00 today is just it doesn't work for us so I think we can approve this or at least come to some type of consensus or agreement but four o' today doesn't do it it's really just a question of we we have a board policy in place for anything over $25,000 and they've been having meetings with the team and with the coaches and trying to figure out how we can get this money
038appropriated with the business office this is something that the board has done in the past these are lines that were earmarked for this purpose in the high school and um in the curriculum office and we're just then why don't you give it to do it why didn't you give it to us on Thursday then line items why did you wait till four o'clock the day of a board of ed meeting of and on that process they lost last and yeah we understand the process that's not the issue the issue is that you guys diligently working on this till 3:30 today and you just happen to print it up right before the board of bed I think that's our issue we have we're consistently and constantly getting stuff thrust at as the day of and it's
039just not okay you know we need we need time to research things we need time to look into things we need time to people questions so we understand what we're voting on I mean we're trying to be fiscally responsible in this budget season and this is $40,000 whether it's built into the budget or not but it's a large sum of money that we're just agreeing to on a whim you know a couple hours before it was presented to us well you have to notify any for the 25,000 correct that is a threshold what if it's like in the work she said would you like to be notified in the works you would have been notified last week because it's in the 100% because I would have reached out with an email right away to ask
040about the expenditures I think the other board members would have done the same would have such a shock coming through yeah this is this is just too much too quickly and it's not that we're against the program but no not at all it's not it's not just this program it's not just this addendum we we we get them all the time and it's over it's 4:00 in the afternoon before me before meeting and you're trying to get your kids fed before you can get get on to the meeting and it's a lot of things yeah the timing of this is tough they had a deadline to register for the competition that they had to meet and this is typical when we have teams go far that we have to support them going the airline tickets
041are a lot more than we anticip saying we're not we're not supportive of the teams going forward we're obviously fully supportive that it's the fact that something's coming through at 4:30 4:00 and I'm trying to get my kids back meeting to not be late and I don't have time to read or even look over numbers to send an email with questions because I'm trying to get to a six o'cl meeting has nothing to do with not supporting them we fully support them I think that's a great suggestion I think that would make you happy as well speaking on behalf of you but letting us know like the week before if you it's going to kind of just giving us a heads up to expect it exp anend and then we can respond with questions an
042hour before the meeting so and that's a good suggestion thank I think it was tough for us having conversations and meetings Friday yesterday and then realizing how this all was coming together pulling money from different lines to make the trip happen for the kids I fulltime job in the district the concern this is our part time absolutely away from our families we're just asking ask for a little bit of courtesy with the scheduling for sure so um so just to think about this as the principal said they're going to they're going to incur more costs is there any questions that we can come up now that might be able to uh resolve this and and still be able to pass it I I don't know what other I'm trying to think of what questions would
043we come up with when we digest these line it meting for shop next week oh okay I I just didn't the issue is going to be if if we don't transfer the money then they're not going to be able to go forward with purchasing um tickets for travel is that what I'm hearing why did you wait till 4:00 today no we get that problem I get that I get that and I do have a question about the Bots team so my oldest was fortunate to go to BC last year and I think I paid about $350 out of pocket what does the Bots team have to pay for the parents or is it there fundraisers how does that work exactly for the past eight years nine years the team has fundraised quite a bit of
044money uh through their fundraising and marketing team to support the competitions the district has committed funds for supplies and some competitions as well as we have for other Youth and government we just sent Youth and government up to almany this past weekend it was the same situation parents to to fill the gap of50 that's now yeah I I think part part of the issue um so I I had the um so Alissa and one of the advisers kind look at last year and this year so I think part of the issue I think this kind of talks about why we're even having the conversation is so the difference in the airfare for about the same amount of kids is $3,000 more this year because of what Melissa just said and then the registration last year
045which is almost $6,000 was paid for by NASA last year um and NASA wasn't paying it this year so I think when you take those $199,000 I think a lot of that is the explanation for you know why we're even asking you see but now I think we have to have a larg discuss and why is this field trip so much more expensive and why is this team of what is it 30 kids receiving such a large stipend essentially for their field trip is their team better than somebody else's that's that's the question we're going to get for Community you know like I said my son went to DC he went on a field trip I paid $350 you had a great time I understand the Bots is is a whole different ball game I
046get that the machine being transferred the people involved I get it but it's a hard thing to convey to the voters um that one team is receiving more money than another and that's how this appears right now yeah I think I'm just doing doing a quick math um you know between the I think Melissa mentioned of of the parents picking up um transportation to and from the airport uh meals and then any all the other stuff that the club picks up I think if you broke it down per kid it would you know probably be in that similar range would certainly come to the numbers um but I think because of the um the number of kids and then there's that's picked up by and just to add on uh to what you're saying the
047conversation we had this morning is do we want to consider a board policy that gives us much more guidance and spells out what we what we are contributing in these different clubs and teams discussing creting a policy I think we just have to get through this sure right now um so we're meeting again next week right third yeah so I mean it might go up a couple but if we have the funds then I can't see but I would like a little bit more of a breakdown of what is being contributed in from the from them from the club from the parents so this way we kind of get a better understanding of price per student like you said but the third isn't session no it's up able to do that then to do it
048yeah Dave said we'll have we could have a public session before we go into there's enough time in between I mean enough time between to make the notification I mean I'm just I'm just spitballing here I'm just trying because I'm not comt miss Luciana will they lose there will they run into the same issue where the airline tickets are going to go up more in price okay we know that when you say understand that when you say these are earmarked for robotics is that what you're saying now if they weren't used for robotics what would they have been used for when funds go Okay so so we're at still pushing it off till the 3D the feeling I'm getting right I make a motion to table it until we meet next Thursday and we have
049plenty of time to make a notification that we can do a public session prior to right I mean 24-hour notice well next Thursday we'll be a public it's still a public board meeting so then there we go I think the issue is then we're putting all of this on hold that's all I feel bad cuz I feel like it's going to be um like she said it's earmarked for this and it's not I feel bad too Steve no one's saying we don't but at the same time getting this at 4:00 in the afternoon for 40 for over 40 Grand did you know about it before 4:00 did you know about it before 4:00 no that's but I I'm I mean it is what it is is what I'm thinking right now and I just didn't
050know know what else we could discuss now that possibly would um answer the questions that you might still have to to be candid I didn't I wasn't aware that we were going to need to consolidate These funds until this morning otherwise I would have told you I knew we were working I knew we were meeting I knew we were talking and then it was oh this is where the money is coming from it's going to Total more than 25,000 to Mr arietta's Point things are costing more and that's the reason the money the money is there for that purpose we're not asking for additional funds and for next year's budgeting process this is one of the items that and along with other clubs and teams that we are looking at in the budgeting process is
051there anything else like this built into the budget are there any other line I looked at the line items on here I mean the one line item is furniture at the high school I don't I'm confused about how that's a item that we can take funds from I'm just asking a question sorry I mean I'm just trying to understand that the last item you know the budget code on here is Furniture TV high school that's his last year's book you gotta go to last year book I'm just trying to understand if we have that much money in there why are we asking for the same amount for this year is that what we do we just put the money in there we like manipul I don't want to say it I mean are we manipulating
052the budget yes for why is it listed as Furniture listed as Furniture in high school and that budget this is last year though we have to go to last year's correct budget so that those funds weren't used that that was about around the same amount that we asked for maybe a couple hundred less so I'm confused as what that money is just sitting there now yes yes so everything in Furniture isn't about furniture basically say reappropriated reapo one of the lines are like that though I mean I'm just I'm sorry I'm just because I'm look I have last year's book and I have with the line items from last year and I'm just we we budgeted for I think about the same like I said maybe yeah no I I understand but I'm saying that
053there's that much money sitting in an account somewhere but we're ask we're asking for that much for next year as well the budget bind the line item on the budget binder that's listed here as taken from that fund so essentially we approved last year's trip because it wasn't combined into the $25,000 threshold but it's still listed as a line item of furniture yes I agree that's why I'm curious I mean in last year we asked for 7594 and this year I believe it's the same 7594 so we're taking 5700 out of that account that's just sitting I mean am I making sense I don't know if I'm making sense am I not making sense tell me I'm not making sense yeah there's there's a Furniture line at tepy high school that has $5,700 in it
054that they're not going to use that they were transferring to help which is common we we do budget transfers often in schools within schools throughout the year it's when it all needs to come together in this one line it was coming to over 25,000 which is why it goes to the board so we approved something similar last year minus the grant through the various line items when we approve the budget this time because it reaches the threshold of 25 Grand we're aware what the line items actually are I don't remember how many budget transfers we did last year for this particular purpose I don't know if Mr arietta went back and looked that detailed into it but I do know that we've supported the team for the last8 nine years um in combination support the
055team stop doing that please stop saying that that's not what we're saying we're asking the question I'm not suggesting that we're not I'm just saying you just said that we've n years so therefore we're breaking you know the the parody I'm just saying that we have supported the team through this this process for many years I'm not saying that we're not I'm not saying anything like that I'm just explaining that we have we're consolidating lines which is why he came to the board and this this board has always supported our teams I'm not suggesting anything otherwise no and I mean in a tight budget season it's it's tough um but this is from last from this budget it's not going to affect next year um it's the same amount for next yeah well we have
056to decide whether we can put it in the next budget well I agree with the tabling it so I don't know what else there's left to to say so I make a motion to table it second please I I mean don't work tonight please go home tonight no offense but tomorrow by the end of the week is fine just so we have it for next week so we can push forward through this even if we have something we only need 24hour notice to for the community to have if we set up a meeting beforehand if you guys have the information tomorrow morning we'll look at it tomorrow morning we just need to know about it right so because we support all the teams okay M are you clear what information the board is asking for
057and like price per student I mean just to kind of get an understanding just way we have perfect all right um so is there any other there questions on any any of the agenda the that's just the unchanged agenda uh I had a question on the consultant the uh what would you call this the chief medical officer I wasn't aware we had this position I'm just curious if someone could explain it in nutshell because it's a lot of lot of red ink hello hello the offic I've been here individual think my first years had different chief officer I this is Dr say this will be his third or fourth year supps T office for PPS and evaluations supports my office for staff evaluations and Coach pH athletes and he's done so a really high communicated
