021critical to that so you know just five years in the current position have really enjoyed working on um some great projects the aim program our exclusive pathways um all focused on that that authentic learning that that um you know i picked up from mike's vision um early on so just humbled to be working with the ed division over the last five years just an amazing group of uh of professionals and uh always humbled to be part of that group and um i just i don't want to thank superintendent matsuda mike for just being that guiding voice for so many of us um it's it's made such a difference in the lives of students and we see it and uh and we know that's just going to continue on into the future but uh thanks for
