001Okay, welcome back everybody. Hope we're enjoying the summer such that it is. Um, if I could please have a moment of silence for Dale York, one of our own who passed away earlier in the summer. Uh, our condolences to the entire York family, including his son Anthony, who also works for the district. Thank you. Uh, y'all set with attendance, Laura? Uh, no adjustments to the agenda. Um, I will accept a a mo a motion uh to approve the board me from June 26. Seconded by Elaine. Any adjustments, errors, emissions? All those in favor? Opposed? Anybody abstaining? Okay. Um, we'll accept uh the resignation for Tonnie Condan, special education teacher, Spurs Mountain Middle School. Do I have seconded by Elaine? Tina. Um, any discussion? All those in favor? Opposed? Okay. Uh, public comments. Chris Bowden. uh
002put on the um put on the Moose River trip and put a ton of time into that above and beyond his job. Uh and then I know that uh we want to try to expose kids to outdoor activities, get them off of their phones and maybe uh kids that aren't into sports but do something active and that sort of thing. and uh get a stipended position for a coordinator for that who's not Mark, it's someone else. Uh it was uh Chris Dooka this past year. And I know that Chris put in a ton of time. It's not an ordinary advisory position and uh getting the kids out there ice fishing, hiking, and kids that you know may not be exposed to this sort of thing ordinarily, but really give them opportunities. And like I said,
003it uh creates maybe a lifelong pursuit of the outdoors, and it's it's really cool to be able to offer that type of programming here. So, I'd hate to see that go away. Thank you, Chris. Linda Dean, good evening. My name is Linda Dean. I live in Livermore. I'm here tonight to speak about the vote this board took on June 26 to recognize only two sexes. That vote was taken despite clear pleas from students, community members, the superintendent, and the district's law firm to follow Maine state law until and unless that law is changed. Instead, the board chose to follow recommendations from an outside political group, Maine People's Rights and Education. This group is not from our community, and it didn't even originate in our state. It's part of a national well-funded effort to push extreme
004ideology onto school boards and now RSU73. Let's be honest, this decision wasn't based on concerns raised by local families or students who would actually be affected. There was no outreach, no testimony from affected students or their families, and no real attempt to understand the harm this decision could cause. The law firm the board relied on, recommended by this outside group, was not the district's own legal counsel and directly contradicted their advice. This firm is also known for represented representing individuals in highly controversial cases, including those involving sexual abuse and pedophilia. That raises serious questions about judgment and who is influencing these decisions. What's also troubling is how much of this conversation has been driven by fear, especially the claim that this is about protecting our girls. But who are we protecting them from? Transgender girls
005are girls. We don't hear the same concern when transgender girls are forced into boys locker rooms where they may feel unsafe or humiliated. Aren't they worthy of our protection, too? And here's the thing. We don't even have a transgender student playing sports in our school system. To my knowledge, there's one in the entire state. So, what exactly is the problem being solved here? This isn't about a real issue in RSU73. It's about reacting to fear driven by outside pressure and using that fear to justify policy that harms students who already face enough challenges. This vote doesn't just target transgender students. It sends a chilling message to all LGBTQ plus students that they are not protected, not welcome, and not equal in this district. This isn't about biology. It's about power. And the board chose to
006pu use that power to marginalize students who are simply trying to live and learn in peace. I urge this board to reconsider. RSU 73 should be led by values of our community, the laws of our state, the needs of our students, and not by outside influence. Thank you. Thank you. Board comments, Elaine. I've already spoken to the chair and with your permission, I'd like to read a statement from Director Brian Riley, who can't be here because of his illness right now. And I had it right here. This is these are Brian's words. When I was elected to the board of directors last year, I was hopeful that I would get some experience in local issues and support the school system that supported me. However, due to changes in my health and recent actions by the
007board that I feel to be unnecessary and reckless, I must resign from the board effective immediately. Fishing for a legal opinion that matches one's personal beliefs is a good way to waste taxpayer money and erode the trust that exists between faculty and the board. Seeing board members leave hostile comments on official district social media pages has been deeply embarrassing. The constant unprofessional behavior of the board has been quite frankly disturbing to witness and I can't stay silent anymore. It's my hope that this letter and my resignation will do something to change this trend and reestablish a basic level of respect within the district. I appreciate the voters who chose me to represent them and I am saddened that I couldn't finish out my term. I hope to find a way another way to serve my
008community in a way that is compatible with my well-being. from Brian Rally. I can get a copy of that to Laura. To Laura, please. Thank you. Uh, thank you. And, um, Tina, please pass on our, um, hope for his good health. Any other board comments? Holly? I'd like to um ask for people to keep Tasha Perkins in our thoughts and prayers. Her husband, I guess, is missing and I'm not sure of the circumstances, but if we keep her in our our thoughts and excuse me, prayers, I would appreciate it. Other board comments superintendent report. Nothing. Administrators. I have nothing. Uh committee. All right. Uh take a motion to enter into executive session to discuss personnel matter pursuant to one MRSA 4056A. All those in favor. Laura, we're back at 620. Okay, I would like a
009nominee um yeah motion. Thank you. My brain is not working today. Uh, a motion to accept the nomination for the high school math teacher, Eric Taylor. Uh, wait, I'm gonna do it. I'm going to do them all same time. Um, sixth grade math Lori Slovak, alternative Ed, Alex Wilbur, and second grade teacher Joshua Wilcox. Do I have a second? Second. Any discussion? All those in favor? Opposed? We're unanimous. Okay. If you want to send those down. Okay. Uh discussion on authorization of lease for the bleachers. This is just a dot your eye, cross your te. We've already voted for the bleaches, did all that, but since it was up over $100,000, the bank needs it to be a motion of a resolution. So, we have the resolution that we can read. It's everything that you
010guys have already approved, nothing's changed that way. But because it's over $100,000, the bank says we need to have a resolution vote instead of just a regular vote. So, motion. And I move that the resolution entitle resolution to authorize lease purchase of new gymnasium bleaches in the principal amount of 154,000 be adopted and form presented to this meeting. I am the secretary to the board as superintendent. I'm actually the secretary of the board. Luckily, I have Laura who does all that stuff, but I'm officially the secretary. So, move. Well, she made the motion and seconded by Don. Any discussion? All those in favor? All those opposed? Motion carries. a uh authorization on purchase of the new school van. Um this is in the budget. this the transportation uh subcommittee approved that earlier and said that
011actually it was Michelle that suggested that we get another van because of the use of so many kids that we've been taking through special ed that we have to take in a van that takes them off the regular buses and gets some of the behaviors better on our overall busing. Um, so the transportation dire uh transportation subcommittee brought it to the overall committee and um it passed in the budget, but we actually have to have a separate vote saying that we're now going to purchase the van. It's just a regular it's just a regular uh let's see, she's getting a 2025 Chevrolet Traverse 7 passenger. Um it costs less than the other one that she had been looking at. It's $45,56. Do I have a motion? Elaine, I recommend that we approve the purchase of
012the new school. Second. Seconded by Dawn. Any discussion? All those in favor? Opposed? Motion carries. Um, I'd like to have just a little bit of a discussion on removing um the outdoor club uh stipened. Um, not removing the outdoor club, just the stipen. Um, we have I have a two pages here of different clubs that we have in our schools and none of them are tied to stipens. Usually what happens with a club is that uh fundraising is done to pay for the coach andor um person who uh watches over the the kids uh and any uh fees that might be associated with that club. Um that's the way it's been done in the past. Um, like I said, the only exception is the outdoor club, which was approved um last fall. Um, so I'd
013like to have a discussion about removing that that stipen. Like I said, not the not the club because I think it's a it's a wonderful club, but just the the stipen. Question. How much is that? Do you know what the to what is it? And if I recall, if I'm looking at the minutes, we took one less track coaching position and turned it into that because we hadn't been filling all the track coaching positions when the vote took place in September. Okay. I guess my question is Did you hear my question? My question was is if we take away this stipen, are we going to find somebody that's going to be willing to lead that club? Maybe. Um the issue is it's not like most of the clubs and I don't have the list in
014front of me to know what ones you're talking about but um the outdoor club is different than the majority of the clubs here at school. The majority of clubs here at school they will meet you know an hour or so after school a couple times a month max. You know that kind of thing. When you're an outdoor club adviser when you're taking kids skiing it's not an hour it's a five six hour trip. when you're taking kids ice fishing, it's not an hour. You know, when you're taking kids hiking, it's not an hour. And a lot of times it happens on weekends because those that's the time when you can get kids away and you're dealing with darkness, especially in the winter. So, it's not your typical club, per se. Um, and this was created
015because we have been doing the the Moose River canoe trip for several years. And for several years, board members had said, "We'd like to get this to be a more yearround thing." Um, so we did that. We, as mentioned, we took away one of the um, track stipens and we so we moved that money to this position. Um, I just did a breakdown on on what that advisor has done between the trips that they've taken and the canoe trip, which if you look, it was myself, my wife, and our outdoor club adviser that did that trip. And when you think about, okay, you know, it's a canoe trip. Well, we put in over 250 hours on that canoe trip, you know, because you're talking we get up at 5:00 in the morning. we're chaperoning those
016kids until 10 o'clock that night. You know, there's a full day that's there the week before. So, um it's not just your typical we we counted it out. The number of staff hours that have been put into the um outdoor club program this year is about 325 hours. So, you're paying an outdoor club advisor right around $10 an hour, $12 an hour to do that club. Um, it's just not as easy as, hey, you want to stay after until three o'clock this afternoon to do this club. So, how many kids? This year we had uh we had a small number. We had nine. Um, over the past um I just kind of did a breakdown over the past four years that we've done the trip. Um, we've done 56 kids. Um, if that were like
017if we were to go out and we were to hire Cryalloon um or some other guided trip, it's going to be $5 to $700 per person. If you take, you know, them out um take that advisor out, we're we're paying, you know, over the past four trips, $42,000 is what we would have paid for that trip. The kids pay $75. So, they're paying 4,200 of that 42,000. So, we're trying to do more. I've been in touch with the main huts and trails and going up there and spending an overnight. And, you know, we're continuing to do things like hikes and fishing. And we'd love to do an outdoor skills weekend in the winter where they can learn outdoor, you know, outdoor skills. Um, I before I came to Spruce Mountain, I was a member of
018the Mount Abram Club. That club has gotten to the point where um on our way Well, let's go back. On our way up to the trip this year, I met with um the owner of Northern Outdoors in Keratunk. Um and he allowed us to borrow a satphone to take with us. So in the event of an emergency on the way back, I met with him again. He was talking about how the Mount Abram Outdoor Club has then graduated three kids who are now working as outdoor recreation guides. So, it's it's an introduction into a lifetime and a and a a business and a job opportunity. So, we want to provide those opportunities just like any other. It's just it it's not doesn't fall in the same category as most clubs. I don't know, but I'm
019just wondering the town is sort of looking to rejuvenating just I don't know what a way of integrating that community. Yeah. Yeah, and I I think that's a great idea. I think this is a fledgling group right now. You know, we've done the trip, but now we're expanding into more opportunities and more uh more things for kids to do and varied interests. You know, some kids might not like to ski, but some kids like to ice fish and some kids like to camp and you know, things like that. So, we're looking for more opportunities, but it's like I said, it's hard to do this stuff after school. It's just not the same. You said you had nine students this year. What would be your optimum number in the program with the existing resources? The most
020we've the most I've taken on a trip is 24 total including counselors which is a huge trip and it's it's optimum for the program with the with the existing resources with the existing resources. I think a lot of the stuff that we do can be done very inexpensively. You know, we received a grant through um Teens to Trails and we've in the past um I've we've done cribage nights, we've done fundraising. So, we can do that. It's tough to put an optimum number on it. I'd love to see it 30 35 really but you know not every kid's going to be involved in everything but if you can get a wide variety of activities going right so I guess my question is mostly aimed at you know you're telling me that you have room with
021the existing resources that you could be serving more kids if they become aware of it and decide to join or whatever are you doing outreach to among the student body to to find those kids you know I mean I I'm I'm Not I'm not trying to suggest that anything. I'm just looking for information there. Yep. And in our our first three trips, we took 16, 15, and 16. And this year just happened to be nine. Um so we're we're working on it. We're trying to get as many kids involved in the outdoors as we can. There is. Yep. Yeah. No, I was what I what I I'm sorry. I don't mean to interrupt. May I Oh, I was just thinking like that's a nice bridge for employment and growth and just looking into maybe that
022as a career path to kind of off what you were saying perhaps. Yeah. No, my my question there was really just about, you know, is there room do you have room for more kids than what you're what you're currently seeing? Yep. Absolutely. And if you look that nine kids went um there were several other kids involved in some of the other programs that didn't necessarily go on the trip. So, Right. Thank you. I think one of my hopes for the district is to try to get more parents involved. Have we looked into maybe some parent volunteers who I know my husband loves ice fishing. I mean, I'm assuming there's some dads out there that maybe would like to help out. Yeah. And and that's Chris had had reached out and one of the kids' parents
023was um was the one who brought all the traps and met them there and had dug all the It just seems like drilled all the holes and all connect the community. Yep. Which I think is important. And we use volunteers. the kids that are going with us on the trip. A lot of times we'll have a parent volunteer that will help to shuttle a vehicle so that they can kind of um you know we get the benefit of of the volunteer as well. Um does the outside outdoor club have a budget outside of of that stipen or is it all kind of you know uh driven by you guys? Um, as far as within within my budget itself, there's no there's nothing else. So, everything else is either fundraised or grant driven. So, it's just
024the advisor. Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. at I I would let me just backtrack if there have been times in the past where we did purchase some canoes, some secondhand canoes that we that we brought in because there was a especially around COVID because there was a little bit of extra funding that like we didn't spend on baseballs for the year because we didn't have a season. So, but other than that, no. Well, just to clarify, I guess I was think Um, does the adviser have to be certified in CPR and first aid and all of that? Yeah. So, the um when when I do the trips, I'm a registered main guide. Um, so I have all all that stuff. the um our adviser has to be certified as an educational trip leader through the
025main department of inland fishers and wildlife, which means they have to go through, take a course, become certified, have wilderness first aid, which um we did uh we did put him through a course this spring to make sure that he was certified. Um so there's, you know, a couple things there, but not much. Thank you. If I can just make a comment. I think the existing stipend is money extremely well spent for the return that we get on it, the kids, community, the school, and the involvement. I've never heard an unkind word about any of these uh events or outings. Obviously, has developed a lot of character and kids getting involved in the outdoors. I know we're trying to get a grant or we've got a grant for drug education resistance and this kind of
026thing. I think the outdoor club certainly is the should be a part of that and get kids out and involved and I would like to keep the stipend in place especially since it's already a budgeted item or there's money within the existing budget. Motion. We didn't revote. Well, no, but we didn't have a motion to resend the existing stipend. So, why should we have it? another motion right to add it. So essentially we're not doing anything so we don't need a vote on anything. We're just we'll just keep things as they are or not change anything. Correct. Correct. No harm, no foul. Very supportive. All right. Yeah. Thank you very much. And it doesn't mean it doesn't we normally approve the handbooks. We make sure that they align with policy. It doesn't mean at some
027point in time during the school year if there's something in the handbook that the board is concerned with or whatever that that can't be discussed and then changed as well. I mean, it's not locked in for absolutely from day one until the end of the time. If there's something in that handbook that people are concerned with and want to have a discussion on during the school year as well, that can happen. So, I was just going to ask, are there any significant changes to any of the handbooks? TJ zero zero zero. I I said I I probably have the most and I can go over it real quick with you if you'd like to. Um like one of the biggest things is we added more clarification of student pickup drop off. Um and we talked
028more about academic eligibility and summer school. Kind of tighten that up a little bit. some of that language. Um, talked about not having students bring in energy drinks. Um, we just made a comment in the personal dress and personal grooming that parents please be aware what your child is wearing to school. I'm just asking that we talked about um Chromebooks and tighten them up because we had some damage last year at the middle school and uh it's very expensive. So, we kind of put in some consequences for picking off your keys or sticking pieces of metal into the charges, trying to do your Tik Tok trend. And um then we talked about some social um functions, eligibility, like adding in suspensions if you tied like not being able to go to a school dance. Um
029because when we had an issue, it was usually tied there's usually a direct correlation between there. um added in bus expectations because that's something that we noticed at ad team that we were missing u with the transportation department. I think that um we added in about false accusations we believe it or not it does happen. Kids make up stuff about other kids. So in so we put it in in writing so when we teach our lesson about the handbook we can actually talk to them and do some restorative stuff with how does it affect somebody before become more preventive with that. Um other than that we talked about bringing in outside food um such as McDonald's Subway other than stuff like that parents dropping that off uh during lunches. Um, and then we talked about
030lockers. Um, and just as the lockers, u, the locks actually suck and broke over years. Believe it or not, they don't last forever. A mechanical device. So, we talked about bringing in padlocks, replace them with padlocks. Well, then kids lose them. So, I just said, you know, you could be charged like seven bucks for, you know, that if you're not taking care of them. There's no reason really lose lose a padlock when it's sitting on your locker. So, that's all I questions for Chris about the handbook. Michelle Yeah. unclear. Well, usually it means automatic retention. Um, but you know, that's not the goal. You know, it's it's how can we help the student in any ways. So, I mean, obviously this when we meet as a committee, we look at all the extenduating circumstances when
031it when it comes to it. I mean, is it Did they try? Were they had some family problems? Were they ill? You know, things like that. Or were they just come in and sit down, say, "You can't make me do anything." type of, you know, between those two type of two things. And then you try to get the help from there. But to you wouldn't be able to make it up. I mean, you get so far behind at that point. You're, you know, during summer school, you're taking You know, you can take like a whole trimester worth of work and some of these kids would get that done in four weeks. It's pretty hard to do it for a whole year, you know. So, you do you still do have to do the work, you
032know. Good. Okay. Okay. Looking for a motion regarding approval of the school student handbooks for 2526. Don and Tina. All at once. Um discussion. I did have a question. I thought you were going to bring other people up. TJ who my question was for not Chris. Okay. Go ahead. Um TJ, I was reading in the uh in the thing about u parking and driving. Um why are ATVs, snowmobiles, and stuff not allowed? Great question. My you know when my kids went a lot of kids took them when I was in school. A lot of people took them. Ever since I've been here, they haven't been allowed. When I was in school here, they weren't allowed. Yeah. Reason something. Yeah. the the issue comes down to is one more student that we have to worry about
033on the back road behind here. And if those of you went to school here, kids like to speed a little bit on the backside. Um, and I possibly wouldn't be so hard on it if it was kids that were 16 years old and older who would have gone through the uh the requirements. I think I if we needed to, we can make some changes, but I want to talk with the game warden uh to make sure that the distance from the uh trail system down here by the tire store or the automotive uh garage uh that it's within the limits. It's 1,500 ft. Um, or I think it's 500 yards I think you're supposed to have and that's it. So, it I'd like to see what Mr. York would have to say. All right. Now,
034I was just wondering because to be a snowmobile trail that came Yeah, we don't own those and and the came came through the Yeah. down through the wreck and through Yep. Absolutely. That way. Absolutely. Yes. Yep. Yeah. That's how a lot of people used to come, right? A long time ago. Yeah. Use the I I lived right over here on London Drive and I wanted to drive my snowmobile so much up here I couldn't and I had to park over in the little trail over here because that's what I did instead. I don't think so. But I agree with the 16 and the but I would like to just have some some way for them to either register it um and go through what the requirements are. I think that would be safe safer. Um
035because you're going to get kids with a two-stroke out here, you know, just getting on that that that wideband and just, you know, winding it, you know. Well, I know where my kids went to school, they had if you were caught like with a four-wheeler doing donuts or anything dangerous, you lost your privilege. Yeah. Oh, and we do that with drivers, too, you know, like that's a normal thing. But they've gone through the the actual requirements to have a license and, you know, so if we could get some type of requirement, you know, that would be up to you guys. Um, and I don't I don't want to make that decision uh and then give it to you. I think if you guys want that I can prepare something. Wondering why it was not allowed
036at all. That's I didn't know something happened at some point here or No, I just ever since I've got here, that's how it was. Okay. Thank you. Yep. I know my last school that I was at, they they were allowed to um but the uh uh railroad beds go through their property. So that's up to Carbeck. And the same thing with Scout Eaggan. It's on their property that they can get on the school grounds. Yep. Yep. Thanks. Is there an insurance liability at play here as well with driving 18? I actually checked into that when it's I thought that question might come up. I reached out with Crystal and Crystal reached out. No, it's just like anything else. I mean that you have your own personal insurance that would cover that. Would we require We
037probably if you were going to allow this to happen, that would probably be something that you would put in your rule saying they have to show proof of insurance that they have, which is no different with a driver. Yeah. You know, who is 16? Yeah, cuz I was wondering the same thing. And like, all right, if these vehicles are on, what's that going to mean for the school liability? And it's personal liability. There could be a spot that they could park to, like instead of putting them, you're putting a two-stroke next to a car. It could scare a lot of new drivers in a vehicle. Um, a two-stroke is pretty loud. It might scare them and they might end up hitting something. So, we got to teach them how not to gun it. Yeah, I
038know. Yeah. I deal with them all the time. Um, I'm looking at the uh, elementary school handbook on um, appendix A. It's page 28. It's a minor thing and it's kind of I I hate to pick on you, Pat. I know I I found it after we talked. Um, but where it says student drop off and pickup procedures will be identical this year. And for the parents who weren't there last year, that's baffling. If I just really love it when people are writing stuff like this, if they just kind of avoided referring to last year without saying what last year was like, identical, right? But if you weren't there last year, there's no information. That's cool. pick up and drop off, right? If you can just put that in there so that instead of saying
039it that it will be identical. You've got you've got that map in there. That's wonderful. But just I would I would be I would I would prefer to have the information than to have a reference to something that I don't have any experience of. This is actually kind of for all the principles. Um I I didn't get a chance to look at these really close, but with I'm assuming they all have a dress code in them. Do we enforce that dress code? I' I've heard a lot of complaints about spaghetti straps and certain things especially in the middle school and the high school shorty shorts. So yes, we do address it. I will say it is the toughest thing for kids because quite often we'll see it. We tell them, hey, you need to change
040because we give them an option. You know, we don't want to send them home for dis for insubordination or anything else like that. Um, but if they flat out choose not to change, then we're going to have their parents come in. We're going to have them bring their clothes in. They're going to be out of that clothes. I can tell you with the busyiness of the day, there's times they go missing. like we miss it. We We're walking through the halls, my eyes are going this way and I don't see it and I have some teachers that don't see it and it's really it's hard sometimes because that you got 420 kids in the hallways at one time. But if I see a kid in the hallway that they're by themselves and I'm like, "Oh,
041that that's a little rough." I'm going to send you to the office or the guidance office. And if it's a female, we usually have one of our secretaries address it with them so they don't feel uncomfortable. Um the same thing with the guidance office. We'll also because we have a male and female in there, they'll address it with them. Um and I'm sure that's how everybody, you know, the middle school must do it with their uh social worker and and things like that. Um but yeah, it is one of those tough things. It is definitely one of those tough things. Yep. They can't do that here either. Yeah. Nothing with alcohol. Yeah. Mushrooms are a big one right now. So, if you're wearing because there are mushroom shirts um that are a psychedelic. It's considered
042a drug. So, we have those conversations with these kids. like I know that this doesn't totally fit the mushroom. Um but that is what it's trying to portray as and we're not allowed to wear that. So yeah, it it's hard. It is really hard and there's hidden messages. I've I've seen like, you know, a paragraph of something and it may have the f-word in it and I barely ever saw it. And then somebody says, "Hey, um so and so has the F-word on there." I'm like, "Oh, I didn't see that." So yeah. [Music] Yep. Yep. Absolutely. Yep. And I know it seems like it's a small thing, but I feel like with kids, if we can get away with this, well, let's try something else. Absolutely. I feel like Yeah. It's the broken window thing,
043you know, back in New York. If it's a rule, it's a rule. And one of the things I know at the middle at the middle school And I'll speak to the spaghetti straps and the short shorts. And I've got a daughter. It's what they go by. You know, you how can you put in a 4 inch inseam and a 4-in inseam on one kid is totally different than a 4-in inseam on another kid. So then you open up a whole another can of wardens. I've compared our dress codes to others around the area. We're pretty much spot on. Um we're very similar to everybody else around. Um, and that's why I put in there, parents, be aware of what your kids's wearing. Because sometimes when we do call home, they're like, "Oh, I know they
044had those shorts, but they're not weren't supposed to wear them. I'll begin to bring some." Or you get the parents are like, "Well, I don't see what the problem is. You know, I bought them. You shouldn't care about that." And that's what they say. And I and we have to be respectful and and work with those parents to say, "Hey." So, yeah. And we do. And we And we do. And it's an uphill. It's an uphill battle. It's It's a fight. It's a fight every warm day, you know, and we go and we go through it daily and it's the same same people, but we keep doing it. And you don't want to suspend the kids. You just want them to change. That's that's it, you know. Right. Yeah. We do. Yep. Usually ends. Yeah.
045Yeah. Yeah. Very much so. Mhm. And that's Mhm. and and no matter what you you no matter what you might hear like oh they don't do we try we try very very hard to enforce it it's it's something that we take very very serious so at both I know at the middle school and I know at the high school too so Okay. So, what we'll do is approval of the handbooks with the requested uh changes that Tina has asked for. Does that work? All those in favor? I opposed. Motion carries. Okay.
