001Good evening and welcome to the Yorktown Central School District Board of Education meeting for March 23, 2026. Can I have a motion to go into executive session to discuss matters pertaining to tenure, Yorktown Congress of Teachers contract negotiations, the employment of particular pedagogical and non-pedagical employees, and to consider a matter related to a specific student and matters made confidential under FURPA. So moved. >> Second. >> All those in favor? I. >> Any opposed? Good evening and welcome to the Yorktown Central School District Board of Education meeting for March 23rd, 2026. Can I uh have a motion to return to public session? >> So moved. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> Any opposed? Can we stand for the pledge of allegiance to be followed by a moment of silence for our armed forces and
002those in the school district community who have lost loved ones, especially the mother-in-law of Mark Pavlla, the mother-in-law of Ronnie Vasquez, and the sister-in-law of Courtney McCarthy. Our community sends it in grief as we our community stands in grief as we also remember Sheridan Gorman, a beloved high school graduate. Sheridan was a shining light for so many and her impact on our students and staff was profound. We hold her family, her friends, and all who knew her and loved her in our deepest thoughts and prayers. Please join us in a moment of silence to the flag of the United States of America to the republic for it stands nationy for Public comment number one. Okay, we go to our exeicio report. Hunter and Luke. >> Good evening. This week, the Yorktown schools will be hosting
003several musical performances. On Wednesday, March 25th, Yorktown High School will hold its annual orchestra concert at 6 p.m. On Thursday, March 26th, Yorktown 5th through 12th grade musicians will perform in the annual Band of Palooa concert. The spring sports season is off to a great start with main teams already competing. I encourage you to visit the athletic calendar on the district website for details regarding all the exciting spring sports events coming up. Finally, I want to take a moment to speak about the incredible tragedy that impacted our Yorktown community last week. On March 19th, the world lost the world lost Sheridan Gorman, a bright, light, and beloved member of our Yorktown community. Sheridan was a kind, compassionate, and full of joy person. She was a scholar, an athlete, and active member of many clubs and
004service projects here at Yorktown High School. She was a joyful presence in our hallways and was always surrounded by her friends. As a 2025 YHS graduate, her journey beyond these walls had only just begun. Sheridan's memory will live on forever, and she will be a lasting reminder to the students and faculty at Yorktown High School to live with joy, purpose, and selflessness. On behalf of the students of Yorktown High School, I want to express our deepest condolences to the Sheron's family. Thank you. >> Thank you, >> Dr. Hatter. >> Well said. Well said, Hunter. This has been such a difficult time for our community. Our hearts are absolutely broken for the Gorman family. Um, there are just no words. There are no words and our hearts go out to the Gorman family. This is just
005so senseless, so horrible. Um, we'll continue on with our with the uh pres budget presentation for this evening. We didn't put out a Yorktown minute today. We we did not put out a weekly newsletter. Um, we we will come back to it next week, but I didn't think it was appropriate to put out our our Yorktown Minute today. Um, and so as we move forward and we move on, we're certainly supporting our students, we're supporting our staff. They uh they were friends with Sheridan and and she will be dearly missed by all members of our faculty, staff, and student body. I'm going to make my way to the podium to deliver our budget presentation. and um it will be the final presentation in our series of budget presentations and I will make my way to
006the podium now to deliver that. Okay, this has been a very long process and it's a process and the screen is not on. This has been a very long process for us. We go off I'll continue as we figure out the technology. We'll certainly have the slides up for members of our community to see. This has been an incredibly long process. Although the community is privy to the presentations that we've delivered publicly, the meetings that we have with our administrative team go back to December, hearing what each department needs, what each school needs, and trying to put everything together within the confines of a tax levy cap and all the other demands and restrictions on our budget. So, I really do believe that the school budget tells the story of a district. We'll just give
007that a minute to restart because it's such an amazing story of our school district that I do think that the visuals are are important for our community to see as I narrate the slides. Okay, the budget of a district really tells the story of that school district. Where do we invest the limited resources that we have? What matters most? What are we proud of? What are our areas of continued growth growth? And so the first chapter of that story has to do with our amazing students. We have over 3,400 amazing students in our school district and our students have done such incredible things. I won't read the slide to you, but members of the viewing audience at home will be able to read this. Our board is certainly well aware. We recently just last week
008had two students qualify for ISF, including a sophomore. That's not something that happens often and everywhere. Our students are incredible scholar athletes. They're incredible musicians and scholars. But that last bullet is the one that makes me so proud because success looks differently for each of our 3,400 children. We are we have children of our own. I have two children of my own. Success looks differently for each of my ch children. And I wanted to highlight an individual student success tonight. and I didn't have to look far down the table to see that I wanted to invite Luke Evangelista to say a few words about his experience in our school district. Hunter gives the presentations on behalf of the board and then Luke gives uh the presentation to the camera and and he's all over social
009media and and many views and and many likes on his videos summarizing the board meetings, but we haven't really heard much from Luke and I wanted to highlight Luke tonight. So, we certainly could have picked Hunter or Luke. They're both very accomplished and and wonderful people. You know that Hunter is the best goalie in North America without a doubt. Um, and we also know that Hunter is very generous with his time. We did a school supply drive giveaway on a cold winter morning. And who showed up to be out there for a few hours with me? It was Hunter. So, it was great to have him there joining me and a couple of other students. And I wanted to highlight Luke because he is equally as impressive and his accomplishments are equally as impressive, very
010different. And that's where individual student successes come in. So Luke, I'd like to invite you to the podium to share a few words with our board and our community. >> Good evening. I am Luke Evangelista and I am currently a junior at Yorktown High School. I appreciate you guys for allowing me to have the opportunity to speak here tonight. This was quite an easy speech to write as there has been so many amazing parts of my time here at Yorktown. Yorktown High School has allowed me to explore my academic interest. I've been able to participate in a wide variety of programs from orchestra to personal finance and science research. All these different classes help build a strong academic foundation for my future. Yorktown has provided opportunity for a wide variety of academic rigor through honors
011classes, college level classes, and AP courses. By the end of my junior year, I will have earned 18 college credits through Sunni U Albany and Syracuse University with a potential of an eight additional credits from the AP program. My guidance counselor, Miss Warren, has helped guide me through academic planning. Last year, I was struggling in math and she had helped me find an appropriate level for that time point. Then this year when I felt I could better handle the course load, she allowed me and gave me the option to rejoin the honored program. This program um and school in general has really helped me find myself and there's no program that I could better show that through it with science research. Um this program has helped me grow and explore my interest in science far
012outside the classroom. Being able to have an internship over the summer at Pace University where I learn directly under a uh in a lab and with a mentor, it helped me grow being able to analyze scientific papers and craft presentations of my own. Teachers in the program have created a structured and supportive environment for students like myself to be able to learn and grow and share in their interest of science. This year's program, as Dr. had said boasts a top 40 STS finalist as well as two uh two amazing uh peers of mine going to ISF this year highlighting the program's excellence. In addition to the strong academic programming at Yorktown, Yorktown fosters quite an engaged student community. Yorktown's faculty is dedicated to providing support to all their students. I have been lucky enough to
013have teachers that allow me to use 9th period as an option to be be able to both connect with them as people, but also use them uh for extra help in all my classes. They also serve as dedicated adviserss to many of the clubs at the high school. These clubs allow for students to explore their interest with other like-minded peers and it helps them develop both leadership and community service skills. I am currently the president of Key Club. This is an organization that assists and creates different events to benefit the community. This year we have sponsored a family for uh Operation Sansa and in the upcoming month or so uh we have both a food and blood drive planned. I have also had the opportunity to start a club with my good friend Alexra. COD
014is a political debate club that allows for open, safe, and educational discussions about current events and politics. A few months ago, we even brought in Councilwoman Susan Spiegel from town to speak to the many students that wanted to hear more about local politics. The process to start a club was easy and it allowed us and many other students to be able to share our own interest. I'm also both a part of the science and math honors societies which allow for students who excel in those areas to share interest and ideas. I want to acknowledge the work of the PTA and how they support all the students and the school district and many activities. I specifically want to highlight the SAT course taught by Yorktown High School teachers that the PTA sponsors in the high school.
015Uh I know many surrounding districts lack this option and this program has saved both my family a significant amount of money while also being a great preparation to tool for my own SATs. Another major part about Yorktown's community is our culture around athletics. Sports have consistently been a major part of mine and many other uh people's childhoods. Playing for Yorktown from a young age invokes a sense of town pride and that is carried all the way throughout the high school and even beyond. Over my time at Yorktown High School, I've been a threeseason athlete every single year. And I've loved being able to participate and attend sports events like the football and basketball sectional games. But I am also grateful to be a part of a town that loves its sports as much as I
016do. I applied to be the position of exeicio because I was proud to be a Yorktown student. Yorktown provides a great balance between academics, extracurriculars, and community. Our students are set up for our future success. And I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to speak here. If you have any questions, let me know. Thank you very much. So, I hate to break it to Luke, but he's not going to be making those videos next year. Um, because Luke will be sitting in that chair giving the updates at the meeting, and Luke will be mentoring the next uh student who'll be sitting to Luke's right. But Luke, thank you. And I think I speak for everyone here in how amazed I was by everything that I heard that you've accomplished and and have done during
017your time here. It's absolutely phenomenal. That was my favorite bullet, the last bullet, individual student successes. And you've heard of one student's individual successes. There are so many examples like that. We talk about educating the whole child and I think Luke's remarks really captured that. Athletics, academics. Did you say 18 credits? >> Wow. Wow. So, we don't just talk about the whole child. It's what we do. Enrollment. That's another factor that we have to consider as we develop our school budget. We have been relatively stable. I'm quite curious to see the impact of the residential developments on our enrollment come September. We've only seen a modest impact at this point, it's been quite modest. But as the units become occupied, there is the likely scenario that if children were attending school in another district and
018just moved into the community that they're continuing in their former school district and then September, we would see an impact on our enrollment. So, we're monitoring that. Nothing definitive at this point, just obviously something for us to monitor. Chapter two of this book is our program. We have an absolutely wonderful program in just about every regard. Our academics are second to none. We have a true UPK program. And I'm not going to go through all of the slides, all of the points on this slide, but we have a true UPK program. Anyone in this community who wants universal prek can have universal prek. And I'll put in a quick plug. If your child is turning four years of age, on or before December 1st this year, and you live within our school district's boundaries, please
019reach out to Patty Sabre in our registration department to register your child for prek. Same thing goes for kindergarten if they're turning five on or before December 1st. Please register. We have so many other wonderful programs from athletics to the fine and performing arts, our worldclass science research programs, special education programming, second to none. We have wonderful, wonderful programs in our district. And when we take our wonderful students and our wonderful programs, we get wonderful results. Our schools are in the top 3% in the country. Test scores are excellent. I often don't measure our success by test scores, but if we wanted to look at test scores, you would see that our numbers are right there amongst the very best. We've had success on the stage, on the playing fields, in the gymnasium. and some
020other things that we might not think about when we talk about a high standard of excellence. Our safety and security is rated amongst the best, the safest in New York State. When we look at our network downtime, just a small metric that is seemingly insignificant is incredibly powerful. Outside of some scheduled downtimes for routine maintenance, I can't think, and I don't want to jinx us here, but our network has not gone down in quite some time. With that being said, I I sure hope that the network does not go down anytime in the near future. Our business office has done an amazing job managing the finances of our district, a double A+ credit rating. Our bond project in this climate to have a bond project still moving on time and within budget is remarkable. That's
021happening. And our special education programming has been absolutely phenomenal. And that's led by Miss Almeida and her department. That excellence has been recognized by organizations all over the state, all over the country. It's no secret that our students are performing well and these are just some of the organizations that are acknowledging the excellent work of our students. Now, where do we go from here? So in the 2026 27 budget based on all of the meetings that I alluded to earlier, we met with every department, every school. In many cases, they were multiple meetings with that department and a school. And we received many budget requests. We considered each request very thoughtfully, very carefully within the parameters of the tax cap, within the parameters of what the state aid increases are, within parameters of what our
022contractual costs are, and I'll get to that in a moment. And this is what I'll be recommending to the board for inclusion in the 2026-27 budget. Again, I I won't go through all of these items, but the current programs remain intact. We want to keep doing what we're doing. the results are excellent. The opportunities are incredible. Luke highlighted just some of those opportunities that are available to students that he's been able to participate in. So, our current programs, obviously, it's important to keep those going, including UPK. That's not a budget driver for us. That's neutral, but that's an important resource. That's that's a really important program to have in our school district. Class sizes obviously will be maintained at or below our board guidelines. Uh, Miss Almeida, you'll recall in her presentation, recommended a decrease
023in flex path seats from 18 to 14. That'll give some more individualized support. It'll give more resources to the students who are in the program and we're going I'm going to accept that recommendation and and bring it forward to the board. There are some positions in the district with regard to our clinical team, social worker at the high school, psychologist at Crompand, some additional tech support. So much of what we do relies on our technology department. When we think about the various parts of our operation, technology seems to be part of every single aspect of our organization. We're looking at an additional section in fourth grade due to enrollment. a boys volleyball assistant coach, something that we have not had. While all of our other varsity teams have a assistant coach, an assistant coach, there
024are some contingency positions. As I mentioned earlier, enrollment is still an unknown for us. We're not quite certain of what the impact will be on the developments from the developments in town on our enrollment. So, we're monitoring that, but we need to be prepared in the event that we have to add positions. We're seeing kindergarten enrollment higher than we've seen it in recent years and that may result in us adding a section. So, it's something that we're certainly watching very carefully. And again, I'll uh just another plug. If your child is going to turn five by December 1st, please, please register. Those are important details for us to have. We want to be able to serve all of our students who come into kindergarten. And that is just one of the big unknowns. Obviously, the
025children who are in first grade will move to second grade and second grade to third grade. So, it's easier for us to anticipate the number of sections we'll need in elementary school. Kindergarten is that number that's just a little more challenging to predict because the students have not necessarily registered in our school district yet. And it's more than just a kindergarten teacher. Each kindergarten class has a certified teaching assistant. And then there's a section of library, art, music, and three sections of fizzad that accompany each se section that we add. So there are other implications on the budget as well. We're also looking at an afterare program that has the potential of saving money in our transportation budget. So again, a wonderful service, but we are sending bus loads of students out and we're paying
026for the transportation to transport children to afterare locations. And so by putting these afterchool care programs within our elementary schools, there's the strong potential that we can save some money on our transportation budget. And then we're looking at new courses, some really, really exciting new courses. Um, so more to come on which of those new courses ultimately make it in, but I'm especially excited by the AP cyber security, the AI work, the AP business and personal finance. Those are those are all really really exciting new courses and now there are some things that are driving our budget. So obviously staffing levels have to align to enrollment and that has to align to student needs and in many instances you've seen enrollment has been relatively stable but the needs of our students have increased and obviously
027we've got to be prepared to meet those needs and whether it's through having teachers in classrooms, afterchool activities, clubs, support staff, clinicians, transportation, we have to make sure that we're prepared to meet those needs. We have 10 teacher retirements to date. There were four resignations, not all instructionally. We anticipate that nine of those 14 positions will need to be replaced. And there are some contingency positions within the budget as well as I referenced earlier. Some other drivers, health insurance increased, teacher retirement system decreased. U so transportation has increased. Our SRO contract has a $68,000 increase. and we use some fund balance to offset some of our increases and we and we've done that annually. With regard to what this all means, we are estimating estimating a 2.11% increase in the tax rate in Yorktown. And
028for reference purposes, the town of Yorktown is about 96% of our tax base. We estimate that there will be a decrease in taxes in Newcastle and that decrease is about 6.9% is what we anticipate and we anticipate in Courtland which again is just under 2% of our tax base. We estimate almost a 10% decrease in the tax rate. So our budget-to budget increase is just under 3% at 2.86%. Our levy changes 2.38%. And the I think the big takeaway here is I'm proposing to our board a 2.11% increase, 2.11% uh tax rate change in the town of Yorktown. This budget is within the allowable tax levy cap. So an override is not necessary. And we believe that it balances and I believe that it balances a profound sensitivity to taxpayers with the best interests of
029our students, giving our students the programs that they need, that they deserve, and that they should absolutely have. When we look historically, we we have been as a school district. I arrived in the 201718 school year, you'll see those numbers were were quite low and then COVID hit and numbers started to inch up a little bit after CO. I think that's an acknowledgement that we have to make. But now, how does this compare to some of our surrounding school districts? I just went back to my first year here, 201718, and just compared the average tax levy percentage increase for school districts. And this data was obtained through the Westchester Putnham School Boards Association, and you can see where we are. We're highlighted as fourth lowest in that 9-year period. And we've been able to do
030so many wonderful things in that period. starting an entire engineering sequence, bringing a UPK program in, bringing in aeronautics, bringing in robotics, and so many other wonderful programs for our students, adding on security, making some substantial investments in security, going to an SRO in every school as opposed to just middle school and high school, putting safety personnel outside and not just inside of each of our schools, leveraging AI to take our security to even greater levels. So wonderful things while demonstrating profound sensitivity to taxpayers. The star program continues. That's a question that I receive uh often. So that program will continue. That is not administered by the school district. The school district has nothing to do with the star program. It's administered by the state and it's generally a direct credit or rebate check. And
031so with that said, this concludes the budget presentation series that our team delivered. I just want to take a moment to acknowledge Miss San Philippo and Miss Ammerling. Um Miss San Philippo's office has done so much of the number crunching and so much of the preparation in in terms of receiving the information, aggregating the information, recognizing the implications on the tax levy. Miss Ammerling and and her team have done just an extraordinary job of looking at the programs and what programs are really essential for us to continue, what programs we might want to deliver differently, what new programs we want to integrate. So this process does not get done and it certainly does not get done as well as it gets done without Miss San Philippo and Miss Hammerling really really um having a seat
032at the table and and making some really strong decisions together. So, I appreciate working with them. They they've just been absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout this process. So, I just wanted to acknowledge both of them. With regard to some upcoming dates, there is a board of education meeting on April 13th. The board I'll give a a shorter version of this presentation on the 13th. If there are any changes to the budget that it'll be discussed at the 13th, then we anticipate budget adoption on April 20th, budget hearing on May 11th, and certainly May 19th, the budget vote and trustee election. The budget vote and trustee election is always the third Tuesday in May for New York State Schools. So, the third Tuesday in May is May 19th. The vote will take place at French
033Hill School, as it has for the last several years. The polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Please come out and vote. We encourage you to come out and vote and make your vote heard. So if you're not registered to vote yet, reach out to our district clerk, Ivet Seagull, and Miss Seagull will be able to ensure that you have the paperwork that you need to register to vote in our school district elections. But again, budget vote and trustee election, French Hill, May 19th, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. And at this point, I'm happy to take any questions if there are any from the board. and Miss San Philippo, Miss Ammerling are also available. >> Any questions? >> Okay, >> no questions. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you. And that concludes my report.
034>> Before we move on, I just want to say thank you Dr. Hatter, Miss Sample, Miss Amarling. I know it's been um a lot of work and we really do appreciate um everything you put into it. Okay, we'll turn to um committee reports. Um, rush me audit. >> Uh, sure. Um, I'll take the, uh, first two. Uh, so the audit committee has a meeting coming up on May 12th. Um, we are going to meet with the internal auditor to discuss the intensive review of the payroll uh, for this school year. And then we're also going to kick off the year-end audit with our external auditor RS Abrams also for this school year. Um on the audit committee in addition to myself we have Lisa R. We also have John Gridley a community member on the
035committee. We're also joined by Dr. Hatter uh Lisa Sanfilippo Alicia Sigvarsten. So we are lucky to have um administrative support on that committee. Um I'll take the next one. AI uh the AI committee. uh that one. We have uh in addition to myself, we have Jacqueline, we have Peter, um and again we have um several administrators on that uh Ron, Deedra, we have Jen Forsber, uh Chris Miller, Pam, Professor Amanda Burns. Um we have a meeting tomorrow morning um to talk about our priorities for the fall. Uh there are several ideas on the table. I know Dr. Patter talked about some of the uh coursework. Um we are looking at um possibly an AI and innovation lab. Uh we're also considering um other non-instructional um um um ideas. Uh we're also looking into starting a
036distinguished uh uh speaker series. Um so we will um disc discuss some more of these ideas uh tomorrow and then for the rest of uh the school year and uh more to come. >> That's all right. >> Thank you, >> Mike. Facilities. >> So facilities um we continue to meet every two weeks. Um there's been regular updates to the community uh in the superintendent updates. Um we are um still on track and on budget uh which is good. Uh looks like I I know Brookside and uh Mohansik are tracking very well. Uh projecting that those additions are going to be um handed, you know, completed by the summer and uh open in the fall. So that's great news. Um due to the weather obviously that we've had in uh in the area, the uh fields
037project um was um delayed a little bit here and there. Uh but uh we're assured that they will be able to make up some lost time as the ground uh falls uh and uh firms up a little bit. So um all all good news um on that front. So we're we're happy. We have a great team. Um I mean Rashmi and I sit on the committee but really that the heavy lifting is uh our administrative team uh Lisa Sanfalippo handles an awful lot of it uh along with Dr. Hatter and his cabinet and our um architects and um construction managers are just top-notch. We've worked with them for a long time and they do a great job for us. So um that's really really important. Um I can switch to fiscal. Um you saw the
038results of that uh so far. But um our last meeting uh was a week ago, the 19th. Uh we met uh we talked about a lot obviously the final budget numbers. Um we talked about year-end fund balance projections. We went through the final uh budget requests uh the budget uh contract negotiations which play a big role in uh our final budget. Uh big piece we talked about was um taxerts um that are pending uh as well as the level of our taxert reserve which um we may need to reconstitute a little bit at the end of this year depending on where we end up with fund balance. Uh transportation costs are always on the table. Um and then there's also been a tremendous increase in the electricity rates that the district is paying. Uh not
039to mention the gas and oil costs right now. Um, but our actual usage is down on electricity, but the kilowatt per hour rate is about 50% higher right now than it was a year ago. So, that's impacting things um at a at a reasonable level. Um, just looking at my notes to see if I missed anything. Uh, final budget is um balanced. Um, we're assured that it's uh meeting the district's needs. Um we're going to monitor reserves and and replenish where need be. Uh the big thing would be state aid final numbers. They're um supposed to be due April 1st. We're hearing that that's probably highly unlikely as usual. Um probably more like an April 20th date. Uh at which point once that's been announced, uh we will most likely have another uh fiscal committee
040meeting to see what the impact may be uh on the final numbers and the final tax levy. uh shouldn't be uh there's normally not any negative surprises there. So, we're uh hopeful that that trend continues. >> Great. Thank you, Cheryl. Policy. >> Sure. Uh we last met on March 5th. Uh some of the items discussed there were we had some recommendations and some changes needed to our headlights policy. We had some NISPA updates. Um and then we always default to some of our older policies so that we can get as um close to present as pol as possible. We reviewed 10 policies at that meeting. Um typically those policies result in first reads reviews, adoption or deletion. And just a quick synopsis, I don't think I've done this in a while. If you hear and
041see these uh terms on the agenda, um I just wanted to redefine them for everyone. First reads are typically we've gone through the policy in a policy meeting. When a first read appears on our agenda, it gives the board the opportunity to um ask any questions that they may have about any changes or anything existing in the policy. Typically, the next meeting that we have, it will be adopted. So, either there weren't any questions, we've addressed the questions, or we had to go back to our policy committee meeting and we'll review any suggestions or questions and then probably bring it to an adoption at uh phase at that point. We also have policies that just get reviewed. They end up on the agenda and there are no changes made. So, we need to document and
042update that we did review the policy. However, there were no changes. So, you'll see that in the form of a review on our agenda. And a deletion is exactly that. It's a policy or regulation that's been deleted um probably because um it's either embedded in another policy or law supersedes our policy. So, we figure why bother having it in two places when we really rely on the law and legal um information in order to guide us. So, I just wanted to review that because it's been a while since we've gone through that and you hear it typically on every agenda. You'll hear one of those terms. Our next meeting date is April 9th. >> Great. Thanks, Cheryl. Thanks for defining those terms. It's helpful. >> Okay. So, we'll turn to policy ab adoption. Motion to
043approve a second reading and adoption of the following policies and regulation. 1120 school district records 4714 parent conferences 5422R student headlice regulation 5500 student records. >> So moved >> second. >> All those in favor? I. >> Any opposed? We'll move on to a resolution resolved that the board of education hereby denies the appeal of the parents of student ID number alt ID9729 and authorizes the president of the board to communicate the board of education's determination to the parents. >> So moved >> second. >> All those in favor. >> Any opposed? Okay, then we'll turn to our consent agenda and that includes uh the board action items, personnel matters, business matters, curriculum matters, special education matters, and gifts, grants, and donations. >> So move second. >> All those in favor? >> Any opposed? >> Uh we'll
044go to board comments. Cheryl, we'll start down there. I really don't I have one comment. Um and Hunter and Dr. Hatter have have said it so well.
