It'll be Carolyn's last official board meeting as the director. So, a little bit bittersweet. Um, so we'll I'll go to Thermont for that tomorrow night. But that's about all I have to report. Carl, not much. It's just uh I started to watch the uh facilities, not facilities, but the recalibration. And I

003got about a third of the way through and then timed out. It's hard to watch. Not so much the people that are speaking, but the people that are running it. That's all. Um had Bochi's meeting last night. We approved the budget. The only change that was wasn't really substantive was to hot springs. They had talked about, you know, raising the mill levy when he when Matt was here and he presented and they talked with the hot board and they said no, they had some money there in their reserves and they felt like they needed to spend that down so they were just going to leave it at a quarter mill. But everything else that he presented to us the other evening is exactly the same. So that's it for me. Okay. Thank you, Lori. I

004really don't have anything today. So Christina, I don't have anything either. Roy, just a a quick note that's on the agenda is a re recommendation or request to accept money from Fremont 38 to run our transition program at the high school. Okay. Uh we received that impact aid money from them because we accept uh district 38 residents in our high school as part of an agreement. We'll be seeing that on the agenda here soon. Ally, you have anything? No, I don't tonight. Thank you. Lynette, we already went Oh, yeah. That's right. Sorry. because you're skipping around. I know it's all good. I wanted to make it different.

007to um after our or after our discussion item. So, during our discussion item, Colton will do the budget update and then we'll do some work session followup. Um, but during that time, if you would like to discuss your thoughts on the firearm part from the you may, but Ally won't present during that time or answer questions.

009spent uh specifically on the transition. It it's restricted, right? It's not whereas impact aid is not a local resource. That's correct.
