I'd like a moment of silence since it is 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/68-2 911 and also for Charlie Kirk. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/71-0 All right.

002a problem. Does anybody have problems? OK, 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/152-1 he's on extensions. Sorry, I don't think we have to vote on this, 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/152-2 do we? And then I we are doing our SBA projects 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/152-3 and I do not know who has been appointed to the CEFP committee. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/157-0 And he would like to continue to serve on that there's one. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/181-0 I don't know if anybody's been on it. It's required to have a board member on. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/181-1 What's the name of it? It's the Comprehensive Educational 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/181-2 Facilities Plan. And I think it's just when you have to 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/181-3 work on it, yes. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/183-0 Then you. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/218-0 Since we're submitting a project now and we're going to submit a project in the 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/218-1 spring, we will probably have to have a a meeting 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/218-2 and meet a board member.
003Does that mean we have go to Charleston 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/218-3 again? No, it means you have to meet here at me with 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/218-4 me at the stage and I'll take it to Charleston. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/221-0 OK, we would like to do that. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/251-0 I would suggest Morgan because he knows more about the schools and the way 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/251-1 they're run. I mean, seriously, that was who I'd be. I would suggest. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/251-2 You got any problems at Frosted?

It may help if whenever you go to present, 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/294-2 he goes because he knows all about the schools and worked there for years. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/294-3 And OK, because I can get somebody to go with me. 8222ec50-006b-4031-bb68-1cdba65da1e5/294-4 I'll have to
004do one of you to go with me.
