001[Music] in a reverse. virtually. I'm Luke Jackson, vice president of the school board. President Heather Stags is not in attendance. To my left is Dan Conway, secretary Jackie Deckard, member and Matt Henkins, member. To my right is Superintendent Eric Bolan and Assistant Superintendent Susie Lips. If you would please join me by standing for the pledge of allegiance, followed by a moment of silence. >> I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. You may be seated. Proper decorum. Very important. >> Very important. >> Okay. You have something to read there? >> Yes. Um, this meeting is a meeting of the school board in public for the purpose of conducting the
002school district's business and is not to be considered a public community meeting. Opportunity for public participation will be permitted in accordance with policy 0167.3. Uh Courtney, do we have anyone who wishes to speak on any item of this? >> Okay. Okay. We have uh this is our budget hearing, special hearing um that we have to do annually and we have a guest speaker, guest presenter. Uh Whitney Kuzmol is our district treasurer. Uh we are blessed and lucky to have Whitney working with us taking care of our finance and she's going to give an overview of the budget and if there are any questions after she's done or while she's going through she's willing to take those uh questions and do the best we can to get them addressed. Okay, >> perfect. Welcome to the hearing.
003You might have to pull that up for yourself there, Whitney, because that's diffic. Yeah. Can you hear everything? Okay. Over that, Courtney, for the audience out there in >> online land >> presentation, >> please. All right. This is the 26 budget hearing. So, we're going to do a brief uh mile high 30,000 foot view, I guess I should say, of the 26 proposed budget. So the uh next slide Courtney that's all right. So we are um in broad terms going to discuss the budget process as well as principles the 26 budget estimates and then kind of the next steps for the school district and the board after that. The budget cycle is 18 months in all. So essentially we are reviewing the last six months of data expenditures and revenue. We are collecting data and
004collaborating with our um excuse me with our admin teams and our directors and defining our needs for 2026. That is an ongoing process all of the time. And then we are projecting for calendar year 2026 revenue and expenses. So there's where we get that 18 months, the past six as well as the future 12. It's a fairly straightforward process. The budget hearing, which we are in attendance, the board adopting the budget will be next. That is October 9th. And then we will look for the state's approval sometime in December. And um from now to then they will be reviewing and modifying our budget as needed. and then they will issue us a 1782 notice by December 31st per statute. The budget process is very important. Um we are working to ensure our resources align with
005the community um and academic priorities. So we set that high threshold for spending. Uh we also look at the tax levies for the school funds and the subsequent tax rates. And then we receive the appropriations for the major operating and debt service funds for the school district. Uh for the MSC of Martinsville that's the education operations debt service and occasionally rainy day funds. Some of the principles. So when we are uh budgeting we estimate our expenses high. It's an 18month cycle, like I said previously. So, a lot can happen in that time frame. And so, we don't know what we don't know. Um, we like to try and predict as much as we can for inflation, any insurance increases, salaries, obviously, facility needs, and then of course uh we tend to see utility increases as
006well. And then there is always the uncertainty with state mandates, any changes in enrollment affects our budget, and then possible litigation as well. So all of those are expenses that are taken attempted to take into consideration when building our budget. On the uh adverse side, we like to project our revenue low. Um there are always changes to revenue streams unfortunately. So um ADM is our biggest source of revenue, which is our enrollment number that's calculated twice a year, February and October. It determines the majority of the funding for our education fund as well as some of our operations fund. The net assessed value and the levy set our annual tax rate and fluctuations in our NAV affect circuit breaker losses which affect operations fund revenue. Um and then debt issuance capacity as well. Miscellaneous revenue
007is kind of always a moving target. uh we can pretty well narrow down on interest revenue um some facility rental non-traditional revenue and then we currently receive um excise and vehicle and license excise tax from Morgan County as well and local income tax as well. So the appropriated funds for the MSE of Martinsville are currently the educations operations and debt service funds. And so the educations fund is strictly instructional. Um it is all instructional expenses as well as teacher compensation. That funding is pretty much ADM. It is all of our enrollment. Enrollment fluctuates. We we gain revenue or we lose revenue. Uh there is minimal miscellaneous revenue included in that fund as well. Circuit breakers are not tied to the education fund because property taxes are not tied to the education fund. We have the
008operations fund. Um that is all school operational expenses. The revenue source for that fund is property taxes as well as transfers from our education fund. We set that amount based on need. We typically transfer um anywhere from 12 to 14%. Per statute that's capped at 15%. um circuit breakers. Uh due to circuit breaker losses, which is a um countywide um calculation, we do experience minimal losses. That hits our operations fund. Debt service is our third fund. Um that fund is strictly for repayment of debt. Um whether geo bonds or lease rental. Uh the main revenue source to that fund is property taxes. the flow of some of the funding. We'll start with the education fund. Like I already said, it's strictly um student enrollment based and therefore can fluctuate. The formula is set by the
009state by excuse me bianial state budget excuse me which is set by the legislator legislature and um we can transfer up to 50 15% if needed into the education fund um education to operations fund excuse me and so then moving on to the operations fund revenue could be transfers from ed to ops but is typically um operations levies are limited to the MLGQ which is 4% for 2026. Property taxes cannot be shifted between funds. And so again, operations collections uh or revenue is capped by circuit breakers and then strictly absorbed in the operations fund for the MSD of Martinsville. And then you'll see the property taxes are strictly in the debt service fund as well. So, some of the actual numbers to our budget for 2026 proposed the total budget 58.8 million. Um, you'll see
010we advertise that rate high. So, please don't look at that number and think that's where we're going to end. We like to advertise that number high knowing that there are changes at the DGF that we can't control. U, but also changes to levy and NAV. So, again, we advertise that high. we let them bring us down to where we need to be because if we do it the opposite, we don't get to come up and we lose out on revenue. So you'll see that the education fund is approximately 57% of our budget at 33.6 million. The operations is approximately 28% at 16.3 and then the debt service 15% at 8.8. And again that proposed um or advertised rate is high. We are actually seeing uh that that estimated rate for us will likely come in
011at about that 79 cent mark where we have been in years past. Some of the actual breakdown of how the education fund appropriations would be spent. Uh typically, like I said, education fund salary and benefits. So you'll see the majority of that pie salary and benefits. um minimal other instructional things, supplies, travel, PD, registration, those kind of things. And then the operations fund, any and all operational needs of the district. It does house some salaries and benefits for operational staff and then um pretty good chunks for utilities as well as contracted services. So again, our next steps, we'll do the hearing this evening and then you guys will adopt uh hopefully the the budget on October 9th and then from October to December, DLGF will review and hopefully approve as submitted and issue that 1782
012notice by December 31st. Any questions? I think for public consumption October 9th the reason it's the 9th remember the next week which is the normally our school board third Thursday is during fall break so that's why we'll be uh adopting on the 9th. >> Thank you Whitney. I appreciate it. >> You're welcome. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Having no public comments I would like to entertain a motion to adjourn this special session budget hearing. >> I'll make a motion L to >> I'll second it. All those in favor >> I >> oppose meeting is adjourned. We will now move into our regular session uh September board meeting. Reminder, this is a meeting of the school board in public for the purpose of conducting the school's district's business and is not to be considered a
013public community meeting. Opportunities for public participation will be permitted in accordance with policy 0167.3. Courtney, do we have any one? Nope. Having no one registered for comments over an agenda item, I will hand it over to Superintendent Bolan. >> Okay, we have the consent agenda. I think actually you were supposed to cover the consent agenda for passing. Okay, it says Eric. >> He's new. He's filling in. >> He's filling in. That's okay. It does say Eric. And it does say that in nice blue letters and and bold. So, just to pass it back to you, I'll say uh acting president. >> Very well. Heather set me up on that one. >> She did. >> All right. >> We'll blame it on her since she's not here, but she'll probably watch on video and send us
014a text here shortly. >> Yeah. Do I have a motion to pass the consent agenda? I'll make a motion we approve the consent agenda. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor? >> I motion passes. >> Now I get a move on. Don't >> It's still It's still in blue, but I can do it if you want. >> Okay. We do have a field trip here. Uh the MHS cross country overnight in Evansville for the IHSA regionals and I recommend approval. Do I have a motion to approve the MHS cross country overnight? >> I'll make a motion to approve the MHS cross country overnight. >> I'll second that. >> All in favor? >> I >> Okay, the next one is an orchestra overnight November 7th and 8th. It's at Western Kentucky University. Um they're going
015to have violin, viola fest, and no district expenses will be used in this. I recommend approval. >> Do I have a motion to approve the orchestra overnight? >> I'll make a motion to approve the orchestra overnight. >> I'll second that. >> All those in favor? >> I oppose. Motion passes. >> Good evening everyone. Tonight, um I will start the curriculum po report with a quick update on Well Wednesday's program for 2025. Well Wednesdays stands for weekly engagement in leading and learning. Well Wednesdays provides teachers with time for collaboration with professional learning communities and with training and professional development that will positively impact student learning. The PLC's give teachers an opportunity to review student work and data, identify best practices, and learn new strategies to ensure students are on track to meet that goal. A sampling
016of well Wednesday school activities for teachers include confidentiality training, goal reflection, test security and integrity training, deescalation strategies, and Alice safety training with I'm sorry anti-bullying artisians choose kindness campaign with during October 2025, all schools in the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville will be will be participating in a district-wide anti-bullying campaign with the focus as Artisians choose kindness. The purpose of the campaign is to educate all students about the various forms of bullying and the steps students and staff can take to help stop bullying. The long-term goal is to eliminate bullying from our schools and to better provide a learning environment where students respect and treat one another with more kindness. During the district's anti-bullying artisians choose kindness campaign in October 2025, every school will use educational activities, projects, displays, announcements, special presentations, guest speakers,
017social media, and various curricular activities to help educate inform our school community. And we will start with a roll out newsletter um at the end of September which will be next week. We'll be going home to families and staff and during the anti-bullying campaign with kindness as our focus. they all of the students will have an opportunity to sign an anti-bullying contract and um that is something that the schools take very seriously and and follow up on throughout the year. So that in concludes my report for this evening. Thank you very much Mr. B. >> Okay, the next item we have is the financial report that's been presented to you. It is report only. no uh action to be taken by the board but we annually have to present that to the board in report
018format. The next item is a first read. No action to be taken tonight but it is the first read for compensation for the school board. Uh as you know the general assembly passed new guidelines and guidance uh for 10% of the lowest teacher pay scale. So that's what we recommend to follow is state guidance and this will be voted on at the next meeting secondary. So that's all we have there on reports. >> Old business. We want to invite everyone to our groundbreaking for the new elementary that's going to take place next Wednesday. Uh that's the 24th at 5:00 pm. Uh the Church River Valley has been gracious to allow us to park at the parking lot there and we have couple shuttle buses the from the transportation that will bring people just around the
019corner. We don't want people having to walk along the side of the road um walk along the ditch and it might be rainy. So we'll we'll see. Only only sunny sunny and 72. always sunny and 72, but we'll provide the transportation to get there because there's not a lot of parking on the construction site. And then we'll have um a few words from a few individuals and have the groundbreaking at that point. An exciting time uh for the district. And while we're on the old business, I just I wanted to reiterate, we've talked about this for what, a year, year and a half, two years, whatever it's been. Wow. That we're at this point is amazing. Uh to say the least. And to dispel some of those vicious social media rumors out there, your taxes
020did not go up because of the school project. This was all part of the capacity that we had. It was all part of debt service. We did not raise taxes to do the school. Your school t or your taxes. If your assessed value goes up, it's not because we raised any taxes for this. So, just state it again, we did not raise taxes for this. It all came within our budget. And I think I want to commend the board again. This is what was not easy. It is not easy and it will not be easy moving forward because we got a lot of big decisions still to make. We got to make decisions on um the staffing at the new school, which buildings are going to be closed and how that's going to be done.
021We do have some plans and ideas for the buildings that are impacted. Um our footprint will look different, but our fiscal stability will be insured and our operations fund will be protected, which also protects our education fund. As you heard uh Whitney speak, we historically transfer 12 to 14% from ed to OP. We want to use as much in ed for teacher salaries and the more we can protect operations, the more money we have in education fund spend on teacher salaries. Uh we have old facilities and I will state this and I've stated it before but sometimes we have new members in the audience uh virtually that maybe have not heard. Whenever we did the feasibility study, we were going to spend 90 plus million dollars on old facilities just to bring them up to
022speed. And what we would have had at that point would have been 50, 60, 70, 90 year old buildings that we spent the same amount of money on and we still have 50, 60, 70, 90 year old buildings. In this case, we're how we're going to have a brand new building and we'll not have to expend those funds for roofs and plumbing and some of those things that you don't even see on the old buildings. There not very many old 19 or 80 90 year old buildings that don't require a lot of upkeep out there, right? So, school buildings are no different. So that's why this board I commend you for taking the the big step in improving our footprint and what it's going to look like uh for the future. So invite people to
023come out. You'll be able to see some renderings of the new building, what it looks like, be able to ask some questions. We'll give more guidance on the buildings that we're that are going to be impacted. We said our goal was going to be in December, but we hope to be able to do that quicker. Uh we're going to get some public input, some families involved. Uh we were at a good conference the last few days about redistricting and get some input from families on some of the redistricting discussions. So be looking forward uh to hearing more about that and we will need your input. So there'll be some of you will be asking, hey, let us know if you'd like to participate in uh that discussion. So you'll be able to have a voice
024in what the district district boundaries look like here in the very very near future. Did I miss anything group as a board for touching on that topic for old business? >> Thank you, Mr. Mullen. Our next item on the agenda will be action items. Okay, we have an agreement here that adds Ed Edward Jones as a financial um option for teachers and staff in the MSD of Martinsville for the 403b plans. I recommend approval of adding Edward Jones. >> Do I have a motion to approve the adoption agreement 403b plan? >> I'll make a motion to approve the 403b plan to add Edward Jones. I'll second it. >> Any discussion? All those in favor >> I >> oppose. Motion passes. >> The next one is the budget optimization proposal. I recommend approval. >> Do I
025have a motion to approve the budget optimization proposal? >> I have some questions on that. >> Sure. I'd like to know why we can't do this inhouse, why it needs to go through Baker Tilly. Just had some questions because we are spending quite a bit of money to do this. >> Well, the expertise that they provide, number one, um they do this. This is something that is outside of our realm or scope of expertise to be able to analyze. They have the they have the footprint. They have the programming. They have uh these questions. They already have that housed. They do this. This is an area that they if you ask me, hey, can you go do this? No, I can't. You know, I would not even try to venture down that path because it's
026too important for us for being able to make the budget sound and uh make good fiscal decisions. There's There's no way. How long's it been in place with them? >> With them? Well, we've been using Baker Tilly for what, three years now? >> Yeah. And they're the ones that has helped us, for example, with our budget, with the the premium, and with the interest. They have saved us a lot of money with their expertise. Something that we didn't have in the normal budgetary process. And with the project, for example, uh they've paid for themselves over and over. And I will say anytime you deal in professional services, it's a lot of money. Whether it's attorneys, uh, financial advisors, architects, you go down the list, I got in the wrong business. You know, I will say
027that that's that's the fact of life. But I can tell you that every district uses these people, the professionals on it. Even the ones that have their own um business office or they have a superintendent over, they all have an advisor they use. Whether it's performance services or Baker Tilly, they all use them for a reason because one thing you don't want to make a mistake on is money. Just like uh Whitney mentioned in her presentation, like the advertising to the DGF, if you make a mistake advertising to the DGF, they will not correct it for you. you can never make it up. You you just live with that mistake. That's why they do these things by budgeting high and uh advertising revenue low so that if there's a a mistake or an area, you
028have it covered because there have been districts who didn't they made the mistake, didn't have the protection, didn't have the professionals, and they didn't have any money. and then they got to go out and do some really jumping through some hoops to try to make themselves whole again. So, I can just tell you I would recommend an expert that's done this so that we are the best fiscally sound decision makers that we can be. That's what I would say. I appreciate I understand what you're saying, but it is something that um I think is totally necessary to be able to make good decisions. And Mr. Bolan, uh, just to be clear, like we would be providing the information to Baker Tilly. I mean, >> yes, we we provide they'll be asking us the questions. They'll
029be crunching the data. They'll be uh looking at how we're utilizing uh all of our budgetary expenditures. You know, they're going to be looking at here's our assets, here's our expenditures, here's our revenue, here's some areas that you can be probably better and more efficient. You know, we've we've not had one of those efficiency things. We've not had anything like that in the years I've been around. And I'm not talking about as superintendent. I'm talking about even before that I've heard of. So, it it's we are in just so the public knows the SB1 is a big big hit against public schools and we are no different than anybody else. And I think it is prudent upon us to be able to make the best decisions that we're not going to miss something because if
030we miss it right now with the tight uh restraints we're going to have, we're going to have some problems and we don't want to be in that. I don't want to be in that. I don't want to be sitting in this chair and say wh we missed that. Sorry. Bad day. >> So you definitely think the return on investment >> Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. the money that they will help us save will well pay for themselves. And that's how you have to look at it is look I would it's almost like buying insurance you know I would rather know I just have a car taken in and had to buy the warranty you know extended warranty I don't know how many of you get those deals older vehicle extended warranty wow just Monday $4,200 was going
031to be the charge nope you had bought the extended warranty cost us nothing, right? It's very similar to that. We are using their expertise buying theirs. They guarantee what we're doing and that they're they stand behind their recommendations and we will have good information. We'll have good recommendations and we'll be able to make good decisions because this board's been doing that. That's how we were able to get a project for a new elementary school without raising tax dollars because we've been fiscally sound. And I think Baker Tilly uh along with Whitney has been a big reason that we were able to do all of those things. We've done a nice job. Um I was just at this conference and talked to a few superintendent. They still can't believe that we have been able to do
032what we are doing with the tax rate that we have. they don't have any idea how we do it. So, that's a compliment to this board and uh previous um boards for making some fiscal decisions, being frugal, and staying within our budget. So, I'm very proud of that. So, I do think uh Mr. Hanks, I think it's a great question because it's it's a lot of money anytime you talk about something like this, but that's professional cost. It's like our attorney professional cost. We wish we didn't have to do it, but I think it pays off in the long run. >> Okay. >> I appreciate that question. >> Is there any more discussion? >> I'll make a motion we uh pass the budget optimization proposal. >> I'll second that. >> All in favor? >> I
033oppose. Motion passes. >> Okay. Items three through 17 are donations. Um, as we have done, my goodness, the community is so generous and just for the public to hear these uh we like reading them and announcing their names and giving them public credit uh for for their generous contributions. Uh we could probably just pass and say, "Okay, all the donations, do you approve?" Say yes and then not read them. But our community deserves this because they help us and we want to uh read through that. So I'm going to go through and then we'll pass all in one like we normally do. Donation from Delta uh Theta Tall Sorority to the MSD of Martinsville, the shoe closet. Um shoe closets. Then we have donation uh from Patricia Moy to Smith Fine Arts, $1,000. Donation from
034Northshore Animal League to MHS Applied Skills, $500. Donation from Morgan County Pork Producers to MHS FA FFA for 2400. Donation from Calen Foundation to Bell Intermediate Academy staff 2500. Donation from Dan Cen Foundation Incorporated to Bell Intermediate Academy 2500. Donation from Candy Kitchen to MHS Athletics 250. donation from Borne, Oliver, and Coffee to MHS athletics 500. The rest of them are going to be to MHS athletics. So, I'll just go down through them. Um, donation Don and Susie Lips, $500. Donation from Foxcliff Golf Course, $500. Donation from Super Sports, $500. Donation from Clear Creek, uh, for $500. Donation from Chapman Ortho for $1,000. donation from Flow Source, $4,000 and donation from Shelter Insurance to MHS athletics, $4,000. That's a lot of donations. Very, very generous. And I recommend approval for accepting these donations. >> Do
035I have a motion to accept the donations as presented? >> I'll make a motion, Lou, to accept the donations placed before us. >> I'll second. >> All those in favor? >> I oppose. passes. Courtney, do we have anyone signed up for? >> Having no one signed up for public comments, I will hand it over to Superintendent Bolan for superintendent comments. >> This will be quick, believe it or not. Jackie, you watching the clock. >> Are you watching the WNBA playoffs tonight? >> Okay, there we go. MHS homecoming this weekend. Uh tomorrow night, we're hosting Franklin. um hope you can come out and support uh the football team and watch the the band and uh the dance group. They put on quite a show, all of them out there. So, we hope everybody has a good
036safe homecoming and an enjoyable time. Unified Track Meet that's going to take place. This event will be October 9th, which is that Thursday that we'll be approving the board uh the budget. That's October 9th. That's a great event. That's during the day. You are welcome to attend. Public can come out and watch that. It'll put a smile on your face to watch pure sport in action. That's a lot of fun. Uh grandparents nights are taking place at elementary schools. It's that fun time of year. It's that time where we're getting close to chili and uh I don't talk about chilly weather. I'm talking about chili food because for me it's always about the food. Look forward to that. Check your school newsletters and calendars for those dates. And then we have the Marching Artisians. They
037kicked off competition last week placing fifth and they compete this weekend at Greenwood. So we wish them well. So a full swing on activities and sports here this fall and uh it's this is a fun time of year. So go Artisians. Do we have any board comments? >> I'd like to make a comment. I was really impressed. I went to see the auto shop last week. They're going to put a headlight in one of my old cars. Uh it's great to see it up and running. Uh the new instructor, kids are really a lot of new equipment we've got. It really looks nice see something like that achievement and the students really enjoy it too. >> That's a great point, Mr. Henkins for the public out there that they can contact the school. >> Yeah.
038>> And see about getting their vehicles in and and uh the kids are they learn these things and they are eager to put it to practice. So if you you have a vehicle you want to take out there, contact the high school. >> Couple things. Uh, like Eric mentioned, we went to the state meeting earlier this week for the Iowa Schoolboard Associations downtown Indianapolis and it's it's just neat to see the best practices from across the state, some things that, you know, others have found that were worked well and some things that didn't work well and what they did to kind of address that. We saw quite a bit of different modules and for two days I thought it was very beneficial and I think it was something that I know a lot of us
039enjoy when we go down to and are able to attend delegate assembly was positive as well as just as far as legislation different things that we're we're working towards as a state. Uh it was it was just a good time. So I was glad to go to that. Uh a couple other things I had and as we see more public interaction hopefully we continue to see that. And I know Daniel Ponds is here often and I just appreciate anyone standing up and sharing what you see or sharing your beliefs in different parts of the school or different parts of the community. And I think it's important to have that feedback. So hopefully folks continue to do that. I know it's challenging times in our culture and society today, but I think it's it's now more
040than ever as I think folks need to be very more very much more sharing, you know, certain things with board members or uh the school itself or what issues you have. I think we don't know what we don't know until we have an opportunity to have those conversations. And I hope that never stops. I think that's always going to be the power of what we do and a power lot of what we what we believe. I know a lot of folks up here go to similar churches, different masses or different uh different things that are out there. And I think the faith in what we do is it makes us who we are and what we're trying to accomplish. I think I can't leave that outside this door. I believe we are strong people and
041we have to bring that strength into what we're trying to accomplish here. And then when we look at the children, it's we're a lost society in some areas and it's very concerning. So, whatever we can do to keep building that, I don't think it it can't stop. I mean, we have to find better ways to do it. U I just that absence, you feel it. I I graduate 1990 and I see it today going we're lost and we have to find better ways to do this and hopefully we can continue to do that. And I it's police officers, it's it's general, just civil human beings is just not what it used to be. So hopefully we can be a part of that and get these kids ready for the reality and be good stewards of
042that. I know the school does a great job with religious education. I know they do a great job with supporting different groups inside of the the school to help these kids find their way in a positive way and and build that future for them. I mean, that's the most important thing we have. I I want them to learn reading, math, all the fun stuff, but I want them to be good people and good society members that do the right thing no matter who's watching every single day. And it's it's been a rough couple weeks on different things. When you look at the news in Pennsylvania recently, this last couple days, it's gut-wrenching. So, we have to find that strength and continue to push that direction. I don't know what else to say. Maybe that's not
043a thing for a board member to say, but it's it's at that time. If I frustrate some people, I'm I'm up for election next year. I mean, I'm do the right thing no matter what it is or who's watching. So, hopefully that makes sense. I appreciate the support from the staff and everyone inside the school district. I know there's a lot of internal struggles you're battling with and trying to be that beacon for these children. Sometimes you are the only strength out there and you heard that from a couple people uh speak this last week down in uh downtown Indianapolis of just what they meant, the teachers met or the direction came from or someone stood up for somebody at one time in their career when they didn't have nobody else. I think it's important
044to realize that we have to be that light in many cases. So, uh definitely appreciate the time and everyone up here. I know there's a ton of time put into this.
