And as you know, school board members are volunteers. They put in a tremendous amount of time, both here in person and behind the scenes. It's a very, very important job. It's a very difficult job. So I wanna say personally thank you to all of our school board members right now, present and past. Let's always remember too that this room is named for one of our past school board members. They do an important job hearing Carl Place and around New York State. So thank you all for that. Um, on that note, we have
