001Something I had like to call to order the August 21st meeting of the car police Court of Education. Please Rise for budget. Vote yes and Mark. I pledge to flag the United States of America and to Republic one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Please remain standing. Heavenly Father, we invoke that blessing on all in attendance, uh, here and on those we serve. Help us to bring wisdom and humanity to our deliberations and nice spirit to our work. Welcome to the August 21st meeting of the call place for education and we'll start with comment. So welcome Everyone, and hopefully everyone's continuing to have some in the fun, some in the fun. Some are in the sun. That was a tongue twister. Um, I'd like to welcome three new teachers for our
002district, Caly Fox. Please, Um, just know a few comments. One is, um, the Mary Jo Collins. She works for the town of North Hempstead office of Taxes, and this year they had, um, were very conscious of focusing on us as taxpayers, how they take our money and look how they can invest in risk free ways. So this year, the district is receiving an interest payment of eighty eight thousand seven hundred two thousand twenty six cents. Versus the last two years, we received $46,900 and 52 cents. So this should kind of make us feel good that our elected officials are really being conscious of us as a taxpayer to save our money. I'd also like to be graduate athletes for receiving the All state recognition for the spring of 2025. Elix. Alexa for softball. Madison Lee
003pull lacrosse. Tyler re pull Lacrosse. Tommy Scooch for baseball. And Marissa Na for softball. Congratulations on all the athletes. I'd also like to congratulate our AD Justin Block.

Everyone here really does and their colleagues are not here right now because they were going through earlier. They all rate the place at the table. They're all here and prepared to do well and to do good for our students. We are really genuinely happy to have the place, which I think is a wonderful thing. Um, KE is another step forward and for us, um, to have two classes helps us continue our momentum.
