001called in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 551. We wish to extend a warm welcome to everyone who is present at this meeting. This is a regular meeting and all items that will be discussed or voted on this evening have been posted as required by state law. As the MISTD board of trustees, we are pleased that you have joined us as we celebrate achievements, set goals, listen to reports of the superintendent, approve budgets, contracts, and personnel appointments, as well as make policy for the district. We are not here to make management decisions or to solve the problems of individuals. Management is the responsibility of the superintendent. This is a meeting in the public, not a meeting of the public. You are our guest, and you're welcome to observe and listen.
002If you wish to address the board in the public comment portion of the agenda, please fill out the public comment form found on the back table and return the completed form to the superintendent secretary. We are pleased that you have taken the time to join us this evening and we thank you again for your interest in the Marshall Independent School District. Someone like to open us some prayer as we get started this evening. >> Let us pray. Let us pray. Please bow your head. Heavenly Father, we come this afternoon first of all, Lord, to just say thank you for this day. And Lord, we welcome you to this meeting. We give you thanks for the opportunity to serve this school district and this community. Lord, we pray Lord that our meeting will be humble and
003sincere effort to listen to voices about concerns that affect our school community and as we make decisions about our school, Lord. and may we always hear your voice and be led by your Holy Spirit. May we use the gifts you have given us generously for the good of all. Lord, thank you Lord for the spirit of right judgment, discernment, and courage. And Lord, we ask this afternoon that you guide us in all that we do. It is in the name of Jesus we ask these blessings. Thank God. Amen. >> Amen. We will now have our pledges. Starting with our American flag. 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. >> Now, the
004Texas flag. >> Honor the Texas flag. I aliance to thee, Texas. One state under God, one and indivisible. >> All right. The first item we will have this evening is our public hearing on the optional flexible school day program. Dr. Crane. >> Good evening. [Music] We would like your consideration and approval of the district's application for um MEGS for the optional flexible school day program. Marshall Early Graduation School will provide an innovative opportunity for students who are at risk or have previously dropped out of school. Meg's provides a 4-hour flex class schedule that will allow morning or afternoon classes for working with students, parenting students, and students who have fallen behind their cohort, and students who desire to graduate early through face-to-face instruction and a self-paced technology-based program and explicit instruction embedded into an optional
005flex day. Students must meet the minimum attendance requirement. And the goal of MEGS is to provide an alternative education setting for students who are at high risk for dropping out so that they will have the opportunity to complete their high school diploma with the opportunity to earn an endorsement or a college career military readiness status. We are allowed to apply for this application according to TEC section 29.0822. >> Thank you very much for that. Good. Good. >> Scott, do we have any public comments? >> We do not. >> Okay. Moving along to data review, which is also you, Dr. >> I'm back. >> Quick. Okay. I'm excited to present our 2024 2025 data review. Um, as we continue to build on our success and areas of growth, we will look at um our district trends,
006accountability expectations, and also talk about a strategic road map for the upcoming school year. And so our topics of discussion today will um quickly review our accountability um look at a three-year trend data as well as celebrate our glows and acknowledge things that we need to work on and then review the preliminary ratings by campus and then closing with instructional instructional steps for next year. So first as a reminder um our accountability system consists of three domains. Domain one which is student achievement. Domain two school progress and domain three closing the gaps. So the letter grade scoring for the A throughF accountability ratings consists of the best of domain one which is overall school achievement or domain 2 which is growth or relative performance um in comparison groups at 70% and then that 30% of
007closing the gaps um which looks at the two main subgroups performance at meets and masters and as well as um campuses and meeting their interim targets. Um, so that's just an overview of the accountability system that we're all familiar with. Um, I have charts that show uh our performance over the last three years, 23, 24, and 25. Um, some of these areas show some consistencies and other areas really provide us some insight on where we've made some great strides and where we still have room to grow. And so if we're looking at our reading data over the last um three years, we look at grades three through five specifically and English 2, they are remaining steady and consistent. And we also see a decline in grades six through eight and English one. So that is
008an area that we will focus on. When we look at math over the last three years, we see grades three and five have made some improvements and we see a lot of inconsistencies with growth in some of those other grade levels. Looking at science, we see that science scores are up. So, we made significant growth in science for grade five and then we see grade eight with that consistent decline. Looking at biology, they've ma maintained so they're fairly consistent with their data. Looking at social studies, we see that there has been a decline in grade 8. However, US history continues to remain strong. So, when we look at our overall district um glows, we saw those clear reading gains especially in grade five. Um reflecting on that focus that we've continued to have with early
009literacy. Um we also see US history um how they are continuing to grow and so that credits to our high school alignment efforts um in the social studies department. And then for science particularly uh grade five um they are continuing to have an uptrend. So we hope for that to continue with grade five. So we look at opportunities for improvement. Uh opportunities for improvement include growth in math. So we want to see our math getting better specifically with algebra 1 and grade eight those scores have declined. So that is a area for improvement. Um we see those inconsistent gaps with reading as well. And specifically when we dig into the data that's at approaches um we don't have a clear or a consistent um measure for approaches. It's up and down throughout the years. and
010then um just overall inconsistent growth for most of our content areas which means that there needs to be some tighter instructional routines and coaching support so that we can see that consistent growth. >> The next thing that I want to present in the next data set um is our campus bycampus accountability overview. I want to remind you that these are preliminary um ratings and final data will be confirmed by TEA um around July 22nd which is tomorrow. But we believe that the data that we have right now is a reliable picture of where we stand. And so based on these ratings, we'll use this data um to continue to plan and celebrate and provide targeted support. So, first starting with David Crockett, if we look at the comparison from last year to this year, I
011do want to note the growth that they actually did make even though it is still an F rating. The reason that they received an F rating is because they failed three components. But when you look at the 7030 rule, the actual average of that would be a D at 62 or 63 um is what the preliminary rating would have been. But because if they failed on those three areas, it bumps them down to 59. But from a 53 to 59, they still showed growth. >> And look at that. So look at the closing the gaps. Yeah. For those two that the growth that we see. >> Yeah. >> So we did have a focus on domain three. So they moved from a 56 to a C to a 71 and closing the gap. So that
012meant that more students were getting meets and masters. >> Next we look at Sam Houston. Sam Houston has remained an A, which is very hard to do because it's hard to continue to grow when you're already at an A status, but they did grow um from a 91 to a 94. >> Still got different kids, though. >> Yeah. I mean, >> our next campus is William B. Travis. Last year they were at a D 94. >> Mhm. >> This year they're at a B. >> So they went from a 68 to an 89. Definitely worth the celebration. I want to point out domain one went from a 64 to a 77. Domain 2 with their growth went from a 62 to an 87. And domain three with closing those gaps went from a 64 to
013a 93. >> Congratulations. When when the last time Miss Johnson presented, she said, >> "She sure did." >> What did you say? I promise you, we will not be back here next. >> That's right. >> Stand. Stand and deliver. >> Amen. >> Great job. >> Our next campus is PTY. They went from an F to a C. >> Certainly something to celebrate as well. >> Great. Want to point out domain two for growth, they went from a 57 to a 70. >> And domain three with closing the gaps, they went from a 51 to a 74. >> Congratulations. Good job. >> That's great. Great job. >> Up next, we have the junior high. They were able to maintain their C rating. um we have met with them and they do have a plan in place
014to really put a focus on domain three with closing the gaps with a targeted intervention schedule that Mr. Carter has proposed as well as this year we are building a a true STEM cohort beginning in grade six. So building that STEM cohort so that there is a clear pathway as they enter high school. Um and so for those students they are taking advanced classes. So with that, we um are projecting that their data will have a turn um for next year. >> Up next, we have Meg, who also went from an F to a C. >> Want to point out in domain one for overall achievement, he went from a 59 to a 71. >> His relative performance, which is based on other campuses that are like him, he went from a 55 to a
01577. So that means that he did quite a bit of work to outperform other early graduation schools. And then on domain three, he went from a 37 to a 74. >> Congratulations. >> And I just want to say one thing here, you know, um if y'all anybody on the board hasn't been by Meg's lately, the last couple of years or so, it is a different >> different place than when I first came into there as superintendent. Jerry Hancock's doing a great job over there. >> That's good. >> Thank you. >> It feels different. Feels good. >> Great. >> Good job, Mix. >> Next to the high school, they went from a D to a C. >> Y want to point out that their domain one is now in the 70. So they went from a
01667 to a 71.6, which is 72. Um and so that is something to be celebrated to get overall achieve a achievement to a C status um at the high school level. So congratulations to the high school. [Applause] >> And then districtwide we have moved from a D to a C. And so all of our domains increased. And so the same thing like I explained with Crockett um with our district um because we had three D's um it automatically bumped us to a 69. So that's why we were sitting at a projected D last year. Of course those ratings haven't officially gone out but that was where we would have been sitting. Um but we have moved past that and now we are a C district. So congratulations to all. And so we've had a lot
017of growth this year and so we just want to we've already done most of the celebrations but kudos to everyone who has moved through all of those letter grades. Kudos to our principles for doing the work um and making sure that our students are set up for success. And so we're going to continue with that Maverick momentum. Um, and I want to talk a little bit about some next steps based on this data. Um, and some strategic programs that we will be implementing for next year. Some of these we've already had board approval for, some of them hoping to get approval tonight. And so the first thing um is our lasso 3 grant implementation. So we were awarded the lasso 3 um cycle 3 grant to support districtwide um instructional improvement. So the first grant
018is instructional leadership. And so this is the Texas instructional leadership also known as teal training that we have already started going through this summer. We completed schoolwide should be culturing routines and we also completed the materials internalization. Um we have observation feedback and data driven instruction left to complete. Most of our comprehensive campuses if they've been comprehensive before they've had these trainings um they have revamped it so I guess it's till 2.0. um but we have included that districtwide. So every um principal will be receiving these trainings um this school year. The other part of the grant that we received for cycle 3 is the strong foundations grant. And so this grant supports the high quality instructional materials and PLC structure for the blue bunnet OEER math. So we are moving to Blue Bonnet math
019um for adoption this year. And so that is going to be for kindergarten through algebra 1. Um this curriculum emphasizes alignment um internalization and coaching routines and so a lot of those trainings and coaching opportunities will be provided through our region 7 service center. Um they call them product advisors and so they will be in our district and on our campuses on a bi-weekly and monthly basis to provide that support as we learn this new curriculum. The next thing is I Ready implementation. Um per board approval tonight hopefully we will move to I Ready and that's going to be our diagnostic for beginning, middle, end of the year. Um as well as provide the um support for TIA as we implement TIA districtwide because it provides more diagnostics for those non-ESTED areas. It also provides
020tier 2 and tier three support with those personalized online learn online learning paths and progress monitoring. And for foundational reading implementation um we will look at magnetic reading that should be for grades two and then phonics for grade three which is a targeted intervention um for decoding and fluency. So those are the things that we'll participate for for our ready. And so when we put all of this together, how do we keep this Maverick momentum? It's through um making sure that all of these programs are aligned. Um, we also want to make sure that we're continuing to use our data to inform um for intervention in small group, fostering strong instructional leadership through our PLC's and coaching, as well as keeping that focus on how do we ensure that our foundational skills through lit literacy
021and numeracy across campuses are remaining strong. So in conclusion, we are committed to building instructional excellence through aligned systems. Um that strategic investment that we have with aligning those um highquality instructional materials and diagnostics um support a strong tier one foundation. We want to make sure that we have a continued focus on datainformed decision making and internalization so that our students can grow and together we want to create these sustainable systems. um so that every student in Marshall ISD is set up to succeed. So at this time are there any opportunities for questions or discussion from the board? >> Dr. Crane has finished her first year and I think she's done a fantastic job. >> Thank you. [Applause] >> Dr. Crane, tell me a little bit more about magnetic reading. I may be the only
022one up here that don't know >> magnetic reading. Yes, ma'am. It is only for grade two. a part of our I Ready implementation, we're going to be able to pilot that program. So, it is um just like we would have sax and phonics, which we will still have that for K and one, but it is more rigorous so that those students will be ready for third grade. And so, um it still covers all of those foundational skills with decoding fluency. Okay. And so, it does move into a little bit more with comprehension again so that they can be ready for third grade. >> Thank you. So, what what did we do at Travis or what did you do different >> to to go back to a B? >> Get on up. Say something. >> I
023mean, that's that's a huge that's and deliver >> an 89. So, it's almost an A, >> right? >> I believe in old school. So, >> uh there are a lot of things that work that we kind of dropped the ball on when we got the D. And I'm telling you, doing that walk of shame is horrific. Uh, but the biggest thing that we continued was taking what worked and taking it to the next level when it came to aggressive monitoring, uh, intensive tier one instruction. Um, and I'm going to tell you, I never hardly got to sit in my office. Um, I was in classrooms out in the hallway eating my lunch. I mean, as far as immediate feedback, I even had two teachers that walked out on me in the middle of the year.
024Uh, so I'm not very wellliked, >> but um the hardest job that I found was actually coaching because I could run a play and it didn't work. Okay, come on back. That didn't work. Let's go again. Uh, so it was constant immediate feedback, continue to grow. I was teaching classes. My instructional coaches were teaching classes and it didn't go over too well, but after the end, uh, I will say Miss Callaway told me, she said, "Now, you know, people are really talking about you. They called you a lot of names that I couldn't see in church and and I said at this point it's just about the kids. I I might not be wellliked but we kept the focus on the kids. Any type of adult foolishness we just kept moving. I think HR got
025a lot of complaints about me and they just let me do what I needed to do to focus on the needs of each and every child. I'll say this, praise be to God, our sped uh sped scores >> were amazing. Mhm. >> When you tell me these fat kids can't do it, I'm going to tell you they can. So, they got the same type of intervention. Thank you for the money. We did tutorials 3 days a week. We did tutorials during the school day and we did Saturday school. So, my team is was tired. I was tired, but we kept pushing just to get the best out of the kids and uh parent contact or just anything. I'm telling you, it was it was I'm tired. I'm so tired from last summer. I'm working. >>
026Will you introduce your assistant principal? >> Oh, yes. Mr. Mo, please stand up. >> Um, and I'm going tell y'all now, you know, I Lord, thank you. I always get the ram in the bush, so don't say nothing late. Um, when I interviewed Mr. Mo, uh, he has a master's degree in special education, early childhood education, and he's a certified counselor. And I said, "Okay, wait a minute." like and so I hamper down on them. In fact, no, no, I have an intent to hire for you. And so I love being around smart people, but I will tell you for my administrative team, there's so many things we didn't agree on. >> But the one thing that was consistent was the decision, final decision was always what's in the best interest of the kids. >>
027That's it. That's all. Nobody was going to the office. Nobody's going to sit in the hallway. >> Everybody was teaching. We were. And I'm going tell you I was tired boss. >> Yeah. So I just to be as transparent, we kept the data walls, data walks. I mean the people got so tired of us coming into the classroom. How many walks are we supposed to get till we get tired? We Yeah. You going to see us quite a bit. >> It worked. >> It did. It worked. >> And and I'll tell you at the end Miss Callaway and Miss Van Berska told me she said, "Yeah, >> you you hard to deal with." But I I I get it. She said, "Now I can't argue with the results. You you you crazy, but we got
028you got the result." She said, "I'm going to tell you." I said, "No, we got the results." She said, "If we fought with you in many of days and we don't want to do this and we don't do No, this is what we're going to do. It's for the kids." So, just putting every kid first. >> That is great. >> Good job, [Applause] >> Mr. Langley. Yes. Y >> y'all had a phenomenal year, too. So, >> yeah. Talk and tell us what you did. >> Um, well, uh, a lot of it's going to sound a lot like what Tamika talked about. We, uh, we got the right people into the right place at the beginning of the year. Um, of course, we are now going into year five of till. >> Um, I am tilled
029out, but it's proven successful. Um, we, uh, we had everyone in classrooms. We all taught. We all did tutorials during the day. Um, we made hard decisions midway through the year. We had a teacher that wasn't affected, kicked her out, brought in someone new and she proved off. Uh, we made a hard decision come Christmas as far as RLA curriculum went. Wonders wasn't working for us. So, we went to I Ready and guess what? Those scores jumped up because it works. It was able to provide teachers with a lesson plan that they could implement with fidelity. Um, we have a lot of new teachers at PTY. We always do. Um, well, not anymore. We have a retention rate of 91.25 now. >> Um but uh all that comes from being able to get the right
030people. We had Joy La Point join our team. She has been a huge help. We didn't have a fourth grade math teacher this year. She and Miss Vanuela is my bilingual fourth grade teacher. Jackie Harmon Inc. And Luke came and they poured themselves into those fourth graders and there was significant growth with no teacher because of what they provided and what we provided. And it's all about providing that structure and that's what we're going to get from the blue bonnet. That's what I Ready does for us of providing a McGraw Hill does the same thing of providing a lesson plan. When you have brand new teachers, them trying to learn how to make a lesson plan when they need to be teaching >> is one of the biggest things that we have battled. >> Yes,
031sir. >> And but it it was absolutely a team effort. We sat down every Monday. I our instructional leadership team uh we went through data. We had the individual student data tracker for every teacher to look at theirs from 3 to 5 saying where we at. Millsounded teachers for read to ride for third grade. We had 70 students get three bikes this year which is more than we ever did which means that they grew up a whole year in their reading. I mean it it was just a constant push like Tika was talking about of the the never stopping and when we were frustrated either throwing somebody out of there we cracked down and got in there for ourselves. Well, did a great job. >> It sounds like a common theme. You guys, if it
032didn't work, you didn't stay with it. You went something else. >> Don't keep running the play that doesn't work. >> They stayed both of these and and I mean, you can see the growth at at where we cross campuses. They stayed on it harder this year and longer than I've seen since I've been the superintendent here. They, you know, Christmas, you're tired. You are tired at Christmas. And these groups, they just kept on going and going and going. They they'd uh support each other and they'd fight with each other and then they get back together. [Applause] >> But Miss Eric Camil, >> yes, >> this is our new principal today at Crockett. >> And uh she she's got you all saw the score. She's got some hard work to do, but it is already >>
033you're going to be tired this year, too. >> That's right. >> But it's doable. You should doable. Yeah. She sees that it's doable. been proven. It's doable. You can do it. >> And these principles work so well together. All of them do. >> And and just think where if if you make the just half of the progress next year that you made this year Oh, yeah. where we'll be sitting next time this year. Very good. >> That's right. >> We're going to do it. >> Yes. >> Continuous. >> So, you know, one of the things that Miss Johnson said, you know, speaking to her sp kids and how much they've grown, I think one thing that this data shows me is that we do have students that are ready to learn. So with that being
034said, it's left up to us to provide those opportunities for those students. So excited about the direction that we're going. So thank you all so much. >> Thank you for your >> All right, moving along to administrative reports. Item one is the food service update. I believe we have some people here to speak with us. >> Chartwells. >> Yep. We're thankful for them. >> We do need food. So >> we do. We're glad y'all are here. >> Of course. Good evening. Good evening board, administration, parents, teachers. >> First of all, we want to thank you for the opportunity to serve your district. It's definitely a blessing. So, we really appreciate you putting your trust in us to feed your children. My name is Joan Thorne. I'm the regional director for the state of Texas. This
035is Mike Leonard. He's the regional vice president. And we're just here to answer any questions that you might have in regards to um transitioning to your new food service program. I guess the biggest thing is you y'all are are going to be ready to go if you're not already. >> That is the biggest question. >> We we've already recruited and hired a director of dining services for for Marshall ISD. We're in the process of recruiting a chef currently and we're going to be onboarding all the staff on Wednesday. >> Okay. >> So, we'll be ready. >> I've just been waiting for this meeting tonight. >> We've been working behind the scenes a lot. Anything that you need from us that you don't have >> as of right now? No. We We'll have a better idea
036on Wednesday. >> You have a great haircut, too, by the way. >> Great barber. Great. Last thing to do in the morning. >> I would make a comment, you know, as a past school person. I I would challenge you to feed our kids the very best food that we can feed them. >> Yes, sir. We we've seen and train is what we've seen is you feed the students well, the score scores go up and attitude and behavior goes up also >> and it doesn't end up in the trash. >> Correct. Yes, sir. Yeah. >> And it actually it's interesting too, feeding our kids well also helps not only with academics but also in athletics. >> Yes, it does. >> Huge. >> So, yeah, some very good. >> I mean, it seems like we always run
037with a surplus and so >> Yeah. >> You know, high quality food. >> Yes, sir. >> Yep. That's great. Well, we're glad to have y'all. So, thanks for coming. Yep. Glad to be here. >> Thank you guys. Thank you. Thank you. Appreciate y'all coming tonight. >> All right. Item two is superintendent report, Dr. Langley. >> Well, um what I had on my list was to make sure that I introduced our newest principal, Erica Mills. And it's already been done. Congrat. Um so uh very excited um to have somebody here who has already been in the district and can just uh move up and and uh uh continue the momentum that we already have. >> And uh other than that um you know I had mentioned the other day we're very excited about our Kilgore Collegeou
038with the fire academy and um I guess uh well we do have a few more things. We're doing our leadership retreat next week. New teacher orientation begins on the 30th and all teachers return. All staff returns on August the 4th. >> Coming up fast. It's kids come on the 11th. We have to get them here too. >> Working on that. >> Uhhuh. >> Okay. Well, good. Well, thank Dr. Langley. Does Crockett have an assistant principal? >> Yes. You want to tell them who you hired for your assistant principal? >> Dr. Ramirez. She was our fifth grade bilingual teacher. >> That's Anna Rivera's sister. She's amazing. uh she was one of our uh teacher incentive aotment, one of the highest echelon for that this year and so very thrilled that we have another person moving up
039in the ranks growing our own and also a fabulous teacher who is bilingual. So I think they're going to be a great team. >> Well, good. We're excited about that. >> All right, moving on to the uh action items. Consent agenda is our first item to approve. Those have been available for several days. We have a motion on that. >> Make a motion we approve the consent agenda as presented. >> Second. >> I have a motion by Mr. Palmer, a second by Mr. Huffines. All those in favor, please say I. >> Any opposed? Any abstaining? That motion carries. Matters requiring board discussion action. Item one is the uh policy update 125. We discussed that on Thursday as well. >> We have a motion on that. >> I move that we accept it as presented. >>
040Second. Have a motion by Miss Marshall and a second by Mr. Medina. All those in favor, please say I. Any opposed? Any abstaining? That motion carries. Item two is consider and approve the 2526 MISD compensation plan. You want to say anything else about that? Unless you have any other questions or need to go over anything. >> Does anybody have any other questions about that? We discussed that in detail on Thursday. If not, we'll entertain a motion. >> Does this include the the the different >> second >> plans like the fifth, sixth gonna go ahead and come on up. >> Yeah, go ahead and explain that he might need >> since everybody's here to clarify. So, we presented to you two options. Option five or option six. Option five uh would be the allotment that the
041state is giving us of 4,000 for our 3 to fouryear teacher and 8,000 for our five and up teacher. uh every else everyone else would get 5% for all nine teachers and then our step one and two teachers would get $1,000 each on their step. >> Uh at around year 10 or 12 we would be equal to Long View and above that we would be above them in every category with that option. Option six would be everything remains the same except uh the aotment would increase by uh we would go up to 5,000 for our 3 to fouryear teacher and 10,000 for our five and above step teacher. >> So we would add funds from from our general fund to cover rent >> above the state aotment. Yes. >> The motion I made was for
042six. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> Let me can I just talk to him about one more little thing? I did call um Jud Marshall. He's a superintendent in Mount Pleasant who is also a 5A kind of a sister school district almost to us. Uh they do have a little over 5,000 students there. So they did not get the 4,000 8,000. They got the 2500 5,000 uh for the three and four years for 2500. Uh five plus years was 5,000. Um he has been kind of going through with this with the commissioner because he's on the commissioner's cabinet. Every region has one superintendent that goes to meet with the commissioner every other month and he's on that with that group. So he knew about this back in December. Some more details about it. >> Um he
043did confirm today that this does go off of the previous year's snapshot. So this is from last year's u October snapshot and that's was under 5,000. This coming October there will be a new snapshot date that would be moved forward to next year. I called also Todd Snder who is our executive director at region 7. He said what he has been telling me and here's the problem. It's so recently done that there's nothing actually in writing to guide us. So we're going off of hearsay. But he did say that what he the executive directors of the service centers have been told by the commissioner is that there had to be three years in a row of change in order for us to have to go to that lower amount. So, let's say that this year
044we end up with 5,000 kids. >> It wouldn't automatically go back to that lower number. You would have to show that that were steadily um >> we'd have to stay above >> 500 above 5,000 for three years. >> Now, he said he has it nowhere in writing, but that would be very much a blessing for school districts if that happened. >> Gives you time to when's he going to get that in writing? >> I don't know. Um, we have no idea, you know, because right now our governor is in a whole another session. >> Um, and so we're we're hopeful that that's going to stay there.
