SBSD Owl Camera: Is there any public comment in the room. SBSD Owl Camera: Please come up with them. SBSD Owl Camera: So not much in there. Just want them to. SBSD Owl Camera: It's okay. It's like one sentence on his mark gable community member, and I'm just curious. I know you're not supposed to answer questions. But the next meeting is scheduled for July 9.th It's nearly a month away. I'm just curious. SBSD Owl Camera: Is there
003another meeting in the works? Or is that just the way it is in the summertime? SBSD Owl Camera: July 9? th SBSD Owl Camera: We do have a 1 steering committee meeting on June 18, th and there should be information this evening about our next board meeting.

Thank you, I'll say and see if there's any other public comment, and then I'll leave you to you SBSD Owl Camera: any other public comment. SBSD Owl Camera: Hmm. SBSD Owl Camera: Hi! My name is Roman executive, and then I have
004copies for all of you SBSD Owl Camera: dear School Board members as someone who works in Central Office. I feel compelled to speak out against the South Burlington Educators Association. Politically motivated, motivated call for the superintendent's resignation. SBSD Owl Camera: Their actions aren't just disappointing. They are disingenuous. Divisive and deeply harmful to staff and students. Let me be clear. The concerns the Union has raised have been addressed head on the superintendent has consistently responded to every concern used by the Union engaged in open communication, and worked diligently to make tough but necessary decisions in the best interest of our students and staff. SBSD Owl Camera: The path forward cannot be paved with public ultimatums or accusations that do not reflect the reality of these efforts. While others have chosen to focus on public statements. The
005superintendent has been diligently working behind the scenes to address challenging. But budget constraints establish systems that genuinely support and amplify staff input and consistently prioritize the needs of students. SBSD Owl Camera: If leader, the Union leadership directed has the effort currently spent on confrontation toward meaningful collaboration, we could truly begin to make real progress for everyone involved. SBSD Owl Camera: We owe it to our students, our educators, and our community to model how adults resolve differences with respect, transparency, and a genuine willingness to collaborate. Let's set aside distractions and get back to the real work supporting our schools and making decisions that move South Burlington forward. South Burlington deserves better than political games we deserve honest, student-centered leadership. That's exactly what we have in Superintendent Nichols, and she deserves our full support. SBSD Owl Camera:
