Uh, more specifically, there was one school district that left the agreement with Mckllen ISD. So, their board had to approve it and now we bring it back to the board. Currently we have seven students who attend this program through direct instruction in Macallen ISD on a daily basis.

It's not that there's a change between
013the agreement. It's just that the change was that other school leaving and that's why it has to just be brought up to the board again. That is correct. No, no changes in the overall agreement. Just that if anybody is removed from it or there's an additional school or even a name change, for example, Randy City, CISD changed to Randy City Guru ISD.

What year is the Europe uh cohort at the moment? It's this is part of the 2024 cohort.

Mr. Mr. Cruz is uh Mr. Cruz, if you're you're you've got the floor. Yes. Thank you. Thank you, board members, uh Mr. Gonzalez, for this opportunity to be able to talk to you a little bit and the public about this very important social media litigation that uh about 800 school districts have joined. And the purpose of this litigation is to make sure that these social
036media conglomerates that have cost unnecessary monetary and social cost to school districts such as Roma ISD are are held accountable and hopefully one day in a court of law because I think people that are educators know that social media platforms have been linked to increased issues of anxiety, depression, cyber bullying, sleep deprivation among others. And the exposure of young students to social media has had a result in the education and the ability of educators, including those in Romed that have had to uh endure and and more precisely spend funds. So I think that this hopefully with the approval of these two uh agenda items um uh the school board for Roma ISD the superintendent Mr. Gonzalez uh and our firm could send the message to these social media companies that the safety and mental health
037of te Texas children especially those in Rome ISD does come first. Any questions for Mr. Cruz. Thank you, Mr. Cruz. Thank you. All right.

039the Gha law firm and my law firm would split the fees equally. Any expenses will be borne by the Gha law firm. If there is a settlement or a judgment, then 65% of the settlement or the judgment will be for the school district. 35% will be legal fees and the expenses incurred will be uh reimbursed to the GERA law firm.
