001E2 Gowanda HS Library: All right. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Okay, not, Jane. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Thank you very much for joining us. We are doing a lead, the candidates forum. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I am Jay France. I'm a member of Kiwanis who is hosting the candidates Forum for those of you who are not familiar with Kiwanis in Rwanda. Our chapter E2 Gowanda HS Library: helps serve children in the community. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Kiwanis worldwide also primarily serves to help children. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and if you want to become a member of our chapter, please talk to Jerry Greenland, we'd be happy to have you as a member. E2 Gowanda HS Library: The candidates arrayed around me in alphabetical order are Brandon, Newell, Brittany, Olszewski, and John Waterman. E2 Gowanda HS Library:
002I want to start by asking each of the candidates to state why it is that they would like to run for the position of School Board member. What they bring to the table in terms of their experience and skills, and E2 Gowanda HS Library: otherwise state what their position for candidacy is. And I'd like to go again in that alphabetical order to start. So, Mr. Rule, if you would. E2 Gowanda HS Library: My name is Brandon Newell. I am running for school to be on school board, because I believe that E2 Gowanda HS Library: if there's anything I can do to help the kids that we have here, which are already as talented and amazing as they are. E2 Gowanda HS Library: And we have, you know, a great budget here, so it'd be nice
003to keep that going. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Allocations of what I do is, I own, 2 successful businesses. I also E2 Gowanda HS Library: on the board of directors for the Guantan American region. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I also am a father of 2 kids, 2 boys, and I E2 Gowanda HS Library: just want to do the best that I can to help my community. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Yeah, my name is Brittany Ulchesky. I E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'm born and raised here in Wanda. I graduated 2,009. The reason I want to be on the board is because I'm really passionate about E2 Gowanda HS Library: this community and helping it thrive. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'm a mom of 3 boys, one of them, my oldest being in the middle school. E2 Gowanda
004HS Library: My middle son is in second grade in the elementary school, and my youngest will be starting up in the fall, so E2 Gowanda HS Library: I would love to join the Board to again. E2 Gowanda HS Library: because I'm super passionate about the community and the kids, but also just to be an informed E2 Gowanda HS Library: decision maker. I have a lot of friends and acquaintances in the community, and I think E2 Gowanda HS Library: I could benefit the Board by getting the feedback from E2 Gowanda HS Library: a lot of people around town to help do what's right, for E2 Gowanda HS Library: sure. Thanks. I'm John Waterman. I've been in the district for 40 years. My family through 4 generations, have gone to Gawanda, starting with my grandmother, who graduated
005from here from 1934. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Yeah, it's a long time. So I graduate personally 92. And I went on to get my dual master's from St. Bonaventure, and I have a master's in business administration and a master's in professional leadership. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I currently work in Hr. For the Seneca Amy Corporation, and have spent the last 4 years on the Goat Central School Board. I'd like to continue that. I think we've made a lot of headway over that time. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and being part of this district and serving this community has been the highest honor. You know. It's something I take a lot of pride in being part of this community. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I am also a firm believer that all students can succeed here, and as
006a board member I'll do my part to support these students in this district. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Thank you very much, and I do want to reiterate my thanks to all 3 of you for offering to volunteer your time to help the community. It really does matter, and it's important to all of us. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Top. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'm going to ask a few questions that I would like all of you to give an answer to, and then, after that, I'll ask some various questions of individuals that you can choose to answer or pass E2 Gowanda HS Library: 1st off E2 Gowanda HS Library: budget for the State has just come out, and one portion of that budget is going to be the districts. E2 Gowanda HS Library: ban cell phones
007in schools. But it's going to be left up to each school district to how they implement that ban. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So I would start with Mr. Warner and ask, what are your thoughts on? How the district should implement that ban? E2 Gowanda HS Library: Well, I think the E2 Gowanda HS Library: through dialogue and discussion, I think getting community feedback on cell phones. These things can be wildly distracting, I think, even during the beginning of this night E2 Gowanda HS Library: I probably should have turned it off, but nonetheless, I think, through dialogue and discussion and talking with Superintendent senior leadership to come down to a E2 Gowanda HS Library: what is a reasonable, feasible solution to this mandate. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Okay, that's all. Trust me. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I
008think I would love to second what John said. I agree with the ban I was when I was in high school. I was kind of on the cusp of when cell phones kind of started. So I can kind of relate to wanting my cell phone on me while I was in school. But also looking back, I realized why it was important for me to not have it at all times. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So I would say, in order to E2 Gowanda HS Library: if the ban goes through, and E2 Gowanda HS Library: students are not allowed to have the devices in class. I think E2 Gowanda HS Library: community survey to get the best way to go about not E2 Gowanda HS Library: allowing the students to have. It would be best. I don't
009know if that's whether they lock it up in their lockers, or if there's some E2 Gowanda HS Library: compartment like compartment that they go to. Whatever the case may be, I'm sure there's going to be many ideas. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Oh, discussions around that. But yeah, maybe a survey cool. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I believe that the community should have a big choice in that, because our parents are the ones that are going to be greatly affected. Besides, you know, the kids, kids, I think, will get over it just like they get over anything else. But I think that the parents are going to be the deciding factor to that. But I think that the Board can, you know, have their discussion. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and, you know, have the educated opinions that
010you know we've had in the last, you know. E2 Gowanda HS Library: 10 years, you know, even longer, but I do believe that E2 Gowanda HS Library: cell phones are a distraction, but E2 Gowanda HS Library: there are reasons to have them in school, but E2 Gowanda HS Library: not in class, so I believe that I think you know. Put them in a locker, you know. Lock them up, or have them handed in when they begin in class. You know what? E2 Gowanda HS Library: When I went to school cell phones were kind of a thing. E2 Gowanda HS Library: you know, still kind of in the beginning, but we had to put them in a slot. E2 Gowanda HS Library: We had like little folders. You put them in every time we walked into
011class. You suck it in there. You got it when you left the class. So E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think that through great discussion and E2 Gowanda HS Library: any feedback, I think that's gonna be it much easier way. E2 Gowanda HS Library: The next question I'd like to ask is, who do you think the largest challenge is for the school district? And what are things that you think that the Board can do to help address the challenge. And Ms, I'd like to start with you. Okay. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I would say. Miss, or disinformation would be probably the biggest E2 Gowanda HS Library: problem in the community. Can you elaborate on what you mean by disinformation? Yeah, I think just E2 Gowanda HS Library: especially with social media these days. People pick up
012a headline, and they'll kind of run with it without E2 Gowanda HS Library: diving in and researching what it is. E2 Gowanda HS Library: It is variety of topics. I don't. It doesn't. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'm not talking about anything in particular, but E2 Gowanda HS Library: people will read a headline and kind of run with it. I think E2 Gowanda HS Library: the way we can better kind of E2 Gowanda HS Library: make it better would be just honesty, transparency sharing E2 Gowanda HS Library: more information and just having, like open lines of communication. When there is some sort of E2 Gowanda HS Library: big thing going on, I think just being able to communicate what it is. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Why, it's happening, how it's happening and just being again super
013honest and transparent, would probably be the best way to E2 Gowanda HS Library: try to avoid any sort of like miss, and disinformation going around. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Mr. Gould. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think I agree, you know. E2 Gowanda HS Library: to that. But also, you know, there is the answer of being honest and transparent, but also E2 Gowanda HS Library: having communicated an effective way to help fix things or have a solution E2 Gowanda HS Library: or possible solutions in the future, but obviously open line of communication and just kind of being very transparent. E2 Gowanda HS Library: because I think honesty is the best policy, and without that E2 Gowanda HS Library: nothing operates the way it's supposed to. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Okay. And. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Mr.
014Waterman, what do you think the largest challenge for the district is? And how would you propose the Board help address that E2 Gowanda HS Library: sometimes for me, it's the funding issues between State and Federal issues that's wildly difficult for administrators to make informed decisions, you know, make budgets, it becomes a challenge, and I think what we can do about it. We, as a board, is to advocate to our State legislators, you know, to get more information, to advocate for the school, to have more timely decisions. So we know how to forecast things out and look for the next. You know the next year. E2 Gowanda HS Library: It's an interesting point. I would note that there were actually multiple things in the district Newsletter about precisely that point. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Certainly advocacy,
015both from the board, and as members of the community, we certainly could stand to do quite a bit more of that, absolutely. E2 Gowanda HS Library: The next question I want to ask is. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I want to preface this by saying, I graduated number 3, and at that point in time, I think there was a significant stigma towards practical education, particularly boces programs. And I think some of that stigma probably still exists. E2 Gowanda HS Library: And I think that those are very important programs for students to consider and go into, and I think they're important both for our community and economy. And frankly, we have a dearth of people going into skilled trades. So I'd like to ask what, in terms of setting tone at the board level you think could
016be done to help destigmatize practical education, particularly trade education. I'll start with you, Mr. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think that is probably the most vital E2 Gowanda HS Library: thing in our schools is, you know, both these programs because trades are going to be what operates our country E2 Gowanda HS Library: moving from this day, and and what it's operated our country on for this entire time. So E2 Gowanda HS Library: not only does it give a E2 Gowanda HS Library: deeper education into more specific field that these, you know the kids want to be in, you know whether it's electrician or welder, or whatever E2 Gowanda HS Library: they have the opportunity to learn a skill that they'll have for the rest of their lives, whether they use it for their job or
017career, or. E2 Gowanda HS Library: you know, just simply as owning it in a home. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Well, there's endless projects, and if you are a trained electrician well, not only can you save yourself money by doing it at home. E2 Gowanda HS Library: you obviously, you know, make E2 Gowanda HS Library: tons of money doing it, you know, in the field. But I think that boces is a crucial, very crucial setup to our kids. Education. Okay, Mr. Water. Yeah. I graduated 92, and you know I was a little bit older than you, but that stigma existed E2 Gowanda HS Library: back then, and since then, you know, I've learned a lot about their programming. I joined their board the Erie, 2 County voices board, and let me tell you that's a fantastic
018resource. And I think from the board level we need to advocate more for kids. At least they'll learn about it, whether it's a career day or a technical thing, or even having the unions come in to see what it's. It's a great way to jump. Start your career. Are those trades. E2 Gowanda HS Library: This will show you, I think I agree. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I will say, I don't think that the both these programs and trades are as stigmatized anymore. I do. I feel like we've made headway in making sure that E2 Gowanda HS Library: kids know that it is a viable option. It's a really great option. E2 Gowanda HS Library: As a college graduate I have my bachelor's in social work. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and I'm still, you know, paying
019on those student loans. And I think many people can relate that going to college and getting a degree while it's awesome. And I, you know no one can ever take that away from you. There are opportunities E2 Gowanda HS Library: to be successful and make money, and do really well in life without E2 Gowanda HS Library: without that, so I think we should encourage trades. I think our Boces program is incredible. My niece is a part of it right now. And I know several others who have gone through. So yeah, I think we should keep encouraging the trades and the Boces program absolutely. E2 Gowanda HS Library: The next question that I ask, and this will be the last one that I ask for all of you, and then I'll do some individual questions. E2
020Gowanda HS Library: One of the difficulties for the board is in balancing a quality programming that comes out of the school with E2 Gowanda HS Library: fair mind towards the taxation aspect of it and the budget, and not making it overly expensive for the community. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'm going to start with Mr. Jewell on this one as well. What what is the balance there? And how would you address the balance? E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think that. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think that our budget's got pretty good, you know, being at 1.1 point 2% is, you know. E2 Gowanda HS Library: it's pretty fair for our district compared to other districts, and you know, having a good budget setting up, for you know the potential E2 Gowanda
021HS Library: hardships that we might have in the near future over the next few years, because of you know anything going on our government, you know. That might be our safety net here, which I think that you know this district has done a great job at planning, for, you know potential loss of revenue coming towards us, you know. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and I believe that you know, keeping a level of where we're at now E2 Gowanda HS Library: will protect us in the future, and always provide or have the funds to provide for our students E2 Gowanda HS Library: backwards. This will trust me. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'll be honest budget stuff kind of intimidates me a little bit. E2 Gowanda HS Library: That's part of the reason I'd like to be on
022the board. I'd like to E2 Gowanda HS Library: be an informed decision maker and kind of get E2 Gowanda HS Library: all the information. However, that being said, I do feel the E2 Gowanda HS Library: school has done an incredible job so far E2 Gowanda HS Library: with the reserve and kind of preparing for impact going forward. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So think I just. I trust that everyone here has the best E2 Gowanda HS Library: interest of the students and the community, and we'll continue to. E2 Gowanda HS Library: We'll do that. Okay, Mr. War. Here. E2 Gowanda HS Library: your thoughts, or your take on the question of balancing your own program with keeping it fair for the taxpayers. Sure there's always the the E2 Gowanda HS Library: long or need to spend
023wildly versus being very conservative. You have to find that middle ground where it makes sense, I think, you know, coming through the budget, you have to find efficiencies, you know, find programs that might be stagnant or not worth continuing to develop new ones. I think that's a constantly evolving process that has to be done over there. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Brandon, you know, mentioned the 1.2 tax hike, you know, which is very modest. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and including in that tax hike, is, you know the purchase of 5 buses, you know, some reserve balance stuff. So it's a pull and a tug, I think, that, you know, working with the superintendent and others. We find a way to, you know. Make the best of it, you know, to make that E2 Gowanda HS Library:
024to make our best experience for our students. E2 Gowanda HS Library: And I just want to note for the folks at home. The E2 Gowanda HS Library: the levy for the tax is only going to go up something like 60 or $65,000, but for a budget increase of over a million dollars. So I E2 Gowanda HS Library: say, the answers that you're giving are excellent, and I think that so far the Board has been doing. What I would say is an admirable job in a very difficult. E2 Gowanda HS Library: very difficult balance. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Now I'm going to ask a very unfair question, and I'm only going to ask this unfair question to one person. But if other people want to chime in you can. E2 Gowanda HS Library: There was going
025to be a mandate that the district have entirely electric buses E2 Gowanda HS Library: and electric buses. 1st of all, are significantly more expensive. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I understand that they don't meet the needs of all of the routes that currently are served by Rwanda, that only I think 2 thirds of the routes, or something, would even be driven by an electric bus and the cost of the bus infrastructure for charging and storing. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I don't believe we currently have a plan for that. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So because it's the most unfair question. I'm going to start with Mr. Waterman. Yeah, I know electric buses that's been kind of the hot button issue that we've been discussing for a while. I think you've seen this in the horizon for the
026last couple of years, and that's something we've been preparing for, and I think it was at the last board meeting, or the one before that, where we came in and did presentation on what it would cost, what it would take. There's still work that's yet to be done. So it's kind of E2 Gowanda HS Library: a work in progress. And absolutely, I mean, there's legitimate concerns about the weather, temperature, the extreme heat and cold E2 Gowanda HS Library: and driving these long distances. So it's certainly something that the Board and the superintendent have taken seriously E2 Gowanda HS Library: the other 2 candidates. Did you want to amplify or add to or E2 Gowanda HS Library: give a different take on anything on that. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Yes. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I believe
027that we definitely don't have the infrastructure for that here yet, you know. Maybe in the future, when all of the you know I's are dotted and t's are crossed. It'd be a. E2 Gowanda HS Library: you know, a good asset to have, in addition to our already, you know. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Diesel buses. I don't feel like getting rid of them is a good idea, just because E2 Gowanda HS Library: if you live in Guando we have tons of power outages quite frequently, and E2 Gowanda HS Library: I don't feel like we're anywhere near that. If we can't fix just our regular power to run electric buses to safely transport our students is E2 Gowanda HS Library: that's that's a whole nother ballgame. E2 Gowanda HS Library: you know. It's it's hard enough to
028keep the buses that we have operational with, you know full A/C in the summer or for sports programs like, I've specifically been on a bus here, you know, transporting students out to like Akron for lacrosse. And and we've sat on that bus, and there was no A/C at 90 degrees going to a turf field, which is another 110, you know, because you're adding additional heat to it. So those all those factors are played into that. But I think that E2 Gowanda HS Library: adding it to the fleet in the future when we have E2 Gowanda HS Library: things, you know, in the setup for it. Sure, completely getting rid of our other buses. No. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'm not. I'm not sure. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Okay. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Did you want
029to hear anything there? E2 Gowanda HS Library: All right. E2 Gowanda HS Library: The next question I want to ask is E2 Gowanda HS Library: whether or not there are any conflicts that you see that you have in terms of your position in the community or with family that would make E2 Gowanda HS Library: a position of oversight on the board something that is E2 Gowanda HS Library: potentially a conflict of interest, and I'd like each of the candidates to address whether that is true. And if it is true to what extent that they're going to mitigate that potential conflict. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Mr. Waterman, I have no conflicts of interest to report. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Okay, it's true. E2 Gowanda HS Library: as obviously, most people know. Recently just got married to
030the high school principal congratulations. Thank you. E2 Gowanda HS Library: As it. That is great. Her and I keep our professional, and you know our our E2 Gowanda HS Library: professional stuff, we keep separate, and when it comes to any relationship, you know, when it comes to E2 Gowanda HS Library: our personal lives. We keep a fine line in that, because if you start mixing that, not only does it cause issues on your personal side. But it can cause issues, you know. E2 Gowanda HS Library: being, you know, in a professional manner. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I definitely will keep things as appropriate where I need to. E2 Gowanda HS Library: If I'm elected, you know, to be on a school board. E2 Gowanda HS Library: you know. Obviously, whatever happens in executive session, or
031between, you know, the board and the superintendent is obviously confidential compared to. E2 Gowanda HS Library: as of you know, my wife may know or may not need to know, so definitely keep that separate. E2 Gowanda HS Library: This no reason to have any conflict there. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chesky. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I don't think there's conflict. My husband is the Sro for the middle school and the elementary school, but he's not employed by the school, so E2 Gowanda HS Library: I guess sort of the no confidence correct. E2 Gowanda HS Library: A board is a collaborative body. It's not run by any single individual, and it requires a degree of communication and sensitivity, different forms of communication that other kinds of positions don't require. So I'm going to
032ask and ask you, Ms. Walshowski, what are some talents that you have in that area that you think you would bring to the table to help the board collaborate. And what are ways that you would de-escalate confrontations on the board? Okay. E2 Gowanda HS Library: well, number one. I don't like confrontation, so I will avoid it at all costs. But I E2 Gowanda HS Library: have to say, kind of my ability to meet people where they are. Is. E2 Gowanda HS Library: and and to make people feel seen and heard, I feel is a really important quality. Are you asking specifically E2 Gowanda HS Library: for the Board, or just in general? Well, characteristics that you have that you bring to a situation. Help with it in general, that you would bring to the board.
033But from your experience, okay. I think I hold a pretty positive E2 Gowanda HS Library: role in the community like I said, I was born and raised here. I know a lot of people. Not only was I born and raised here. But I also work in the community. I work at healthy community alliance as a community wellness, coordinator. I oversee E2 Gowanda HS Library: the congregate dining and the meals on wheels program. So I have a lot of ties to the community. I sit on the executive board for the Little League football. I help my husband with the wrestling program. We're really involved with the Little League baseball as well. So I think my ties to the community being able to communicate efficiently with everyone. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I'm really good at hearing both
034sides of a situation and kind of coming to a conclusion that best E2 Gowanda HS Library: fits everyone. So I think E2 Gowanda HS Library: that's kind of what I could bring to the board. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I am elected all right. Do any of the other candidates want to offer a differing position or amplification on any of what we said. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Okay. E2 Gowanda HS Library: one of the jobs of a board member is also to serve as a liaison between the E2 Gowanda HS Library: faculty and administration of the school and the school district as a whole and community. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So this question we ask Mr. Newell, if somebody comes to you from the community and they have a problem with a specific teacher for something
035that occurred in classroom. How would you handle that? E2 Gowanda HS Library: If it's with a teacher, I would say first, st you know, obviously directed. Direct them to the superintendent. Allow Dr. Anderson to E2 Gowanda HS Library: would help with that off the bat. If it's something that a resolution can't be E2 Gowanda HS Library: brought to, you know. Then, you know, it can E2 Gowanda HS Library: talk about it in executive session or something to that effect. See if there's something that E2 Gowanda HS Library: we can help with. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I know on the board level there's limitations to what we're allowed to do and and things like that. E2 Gowanda HS Library: But obviously, you know, you tell them that we'll we'll look into it and see what we
036can do and and go from there. But obviously, 1st thing is direct them to E2 Gowanda HS Library: direct leadership to the school. E2 Gowanda HS Library: See if we can E2 Gowanda HS Library: mitigate that there first.st Thank you. Do any other candidates want to offer anything different, or amplification on that? E2 Gowanda HS Library: I think, as the voice of the community. I think community members inherently will come to you. They know who the board members are. There's easy access to us. Our information is all posted online E2 Gowanda HS Library: for folks to have our phone numbers and email addresses. And we have that. And that has happened to me where somebody has an issue. And Brandon said the correct answer. We redirect them to the administration. E2 Gowanda HS Library: That's
037helpful. Thank you. Appreciate that right. E2 Gowanda HS Library: If the candidates would now please give a final statement and answer any or not answer. Give a statement as to any other points that you'd like to make, and E2 Gowanda HS Library: we wrap this up like I said, I'm really passionate about the community, and especially our youth. E2 Gowanda HS Library: So I would love to be elected onto the board. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I E2 Gowanda HS Library: like, I said, have a lot of ties to the community. I feel I could bring a great deal of E2 Gowanda HS Library: how the community feels to the board, to, you know. Help make everyone happy. I know that's impossible. But E2 Gowanda HS Library: that is something I would be E2 Gowanda HS
038Library: really excited to be a part of. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Thank you, Mr. Newell, as I've stated before. E2 Gowanda HS Library: kids are. Why we here are here. The kids are what matter the most? So if there's anything that you know I can do, you know, if elected on the board to E2 Gowanda HS Library: help better their education or E2 Gowanda HS Library: ways of getting to their education, or anything that you know we can. I can do to help the community in that aspect. E2 Gowanda HS Library: I would, you know, be an honor to do. Obviously I've only been in this community for a few years, but it has probably been the best community I've been in my whole life. E2 Gowanda HS Library: There's no love, and you know.
039E2 Gowanda HS Library: caring factor anywhere else as much as you get here at Gawanda. So it's a very family atmosphere, and a lot of them have all accepted me. E2 Gowanda HS Library: Obviously, my wife's been here for a lot longer, but E2 Gowanda HS Library: kids are where our kids are. Why we are here, and that's E2 Gowanda HS Library: that's all I got. Thank you. Mr. Yeah. It's it's been a heck of a ride this past 4 years of being on the board. We've accomplished a lot. I think I bring a lot to the table by contributing. I asked the voters to come out and support me E2 Gowanda HS Library: and the district as a whole and E2 Gowanda HS Library: come out and support the budget, too. We have a
040lot of things to discuss. There's a lot of information on there. And E2 Gowanda HS Library: okay. E2 Gowanda HS Library: thank you very much. All right. So I'd like to remind viewers that the election is on May 20, th from 8 Am. To 8 pm. It is in the Middle School Library. There will be 2 positions up for the board with the 3 candidates in front of you. There will also be 4 propositions. Thank you very much for watching.
