001Murray City School District board meeting April 2nd. We have all board members present and a room full of nice faces. So, thank you all for coming and we will start with the pledge of allegiance from McMillan Elementary. >> Can we please stand for the pledge of allegiance? >> Now begin. I pledge alce to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Thank you. And I look forward to hearing from you in a few minutes. Thanks. Um, we have an exciting evening. And first off, right off the bat, we have an administrative appointment tonight. >> I was like, I didn't see her. >> Well, good evening. I am excited to um formally make the recommendation that

002we appoint Dr. Clina Reynolds to be the principal of Murray High School beginning July 1st of 2026. We did have an opening at the principal position as principal Lindy, the current principal, is going to be moving to a different district for some new opportunities and we thank him for everything that he has done. So, we engaged in a search and we had a number of qualified candidates and we appreciate the opportunity to sit and visit with them and we made the decision as a a hiring committee that we felt that Dr. Reynolds would be the perfect addition to Lead Murray High School. Couple of things, we know Dr. Reynolds as she four years ago we stood here and we appointed her as the principal of Hillrest Junior High School. and in that time she has

003done excellent work moving the school forward in academics as well as school culture and we appreciate all that she has done there. I know that her her team at Hillrest is very sad to see her leave but we are so grateful to have her going to Murray High. A couple of things, Dr. Reynolds has educa education experience from kindergarten all the way up through the collegiate level. And so she has a wealth of experience in both Utah and New York. So, she originally is from New York and we're grateful for the opportunity to have her transition to Murray High School. So, at this time, I would like to ask for a motion of support from the board to approve Dr. Clina Reynolds as the principal for Murray High School effective July 1st of 2026. >>

004Thank you. Is there a motion? >> I move that we support Dr. Clina Reynolds as the new principal for Murray High School. >> I second. All right. Any discussion? Right. All in favor? >> I. >> All right. Thank you. >> Great. And I would like to give I forgot to tell you this, but hopefully remember from the last time you did it. I'd like to give Dr. Reynolds just a few minutes if she'd like to say Oh. Oh, good. She had a great she had a great support system that reminded her. Um, I'd like to just spring it on and then we get the real stuff. But I'd like to turn the time over to Dr. Reynolds for just a few minutes to address the board. And again, publicly I don't know what happened. There

005we go. Dr. Reynolds, um, who will be leading Murray High School. So, I'll turn the time over to you, Dr. Reynolds. >> Thank you, Superintendent Coington, to the board, to business administrator Reese, President Tali, thank you, Vice President Wade, Superintendent, and the board. I just want to say thank you. It is an honor and privilege to be before you here today. And I want to say thank you for this opportunity. It's an opportunity that I do not take lightly to serve our community. I am very pleased and blessed to be able to serve our community in a different capacity as the principal of Murray High. And what I will say is sparon. Thank you. I love it. >> Thank you, Dr. Reynolds. Um, your choice of glasses is not lost on me. I love that.

006>> Oh, I love it. All right, the next item is the consent agenda. And do we have a motion >> regarding the consent agenda? >> I move that we approve the consent agenda. >> All right. Is there a second? I second. All right. And any discussion of on that? All right. All in favor? >> I. >> All right. And any opposed? I guess I I asked that if I don't hear all of the yeses. Thank you. No opposition. Excellent. We'll move on to the delegations. And first up, we have McMillan Elementary'sries um PTA. So, we welcome you all. Thank you for coming. >> Thank you for having us here, board. We're really excited to be with you. When I received the information of things that we would love to or what you would love to

007hear from us, one of the things listed was our successes. And when I thought of the success at McMillan, I instantly thought of our students and their families. When we ask our families to show up, they do. And I'm really grateful that so many people would make time out of a busy Thursday with basketball and soccer and other intellectual um opportunities that these students like to endeavor in, they would make time to still be here. And so instead of me going over all the things that I love about McMillan, which are many, I would love some of our outgoing sixth graders to come up and talk about something that they've loved since they've been at McMillan. So I'm going to have them all come and stand in a line. They're very good as elementary students

008at lining up. They do this so well every day. None of them are going to hit the sea lion, which is super popular right now. They are just going to tell us something that they love about McMillan and your name as well. Nola, if you'll start. Thank you. >> Hi, my name is Nola Nickerson. Um, I have loved my time here at McMillan and I was in the magnet program and I had some amazing teachers who all challenged me and I love a good challenge. >> Challenge accomplished. Yes, >> that was so good. >> That's amazing. Hi, my name is Cali Peely and my favorite thing at McMillan was probably all the teachers and the students and the moments and memories we've created. >> Thank you. >> Um, hello. My name is Sophia Garner and

009something I love about McMillan is the first grade Nutcracker. Even though the sixth grade class didn't get to do it, I love watching it each year. My name is Max Harper. I like all the My favorite thing about McMillan was all the fun assemblies and activities that we got to do. >> I'm Rob Dunlberger. My favorite thing about school is recess. Uh my name's Owen Hampton and I love field day. I like and I like how they plan it. My name is Pa Peterson and my favorite thing about McMillan is the teachers and principles because they're so supportive and help us with like our assignments or ever if we're ever stuck somewhere. McMillan has been a wonderful school. There is so much heart and soul from both the teachers, the administrators, the parents, especially as

010they volunteer to create memorable activities for the kids through the PTA. As you can see, they've even included me as the PTA president in their faculty shirt, which I thought was very touching and kind. So, I hope that you guys all know that there are amazing things happening in McMillan. We'd love you to put on your calendars um May 26, the day after Memorial Day will be our field day. We're doing it Disney themed this year so that we don't have to impose any inflatable problems. So, we have lots of fun things that the kids will be doing and it would be a great snapshot for you to come between the hours of 1:30 and 3:15 to see some of the fun things that dozens of parents are planning and then we'll execute that same

011day. Thank you for letting us be here tonight and we appreciate what you do as well. >> Great. Thanks, Ashley. We appreciate what you do at all the schools that we see you frequenting and lucky that McMillan has you. Uh, right. and then we'll hear from the MEA and we have um Miss Amy Roberts reporting tonight. Thank you. >> Good evening. Um MEA, we are um in the season, negotiation season, right? So, as a board, we met last night to try to get our package put together. I believe Christy and Scott have a date of April 15th by contract to exchange packages so we can kind of get an idea of where we're headed with that. And then we have a date set uh with the negotiations team on May 7th to go ahead and

012meet and try to knock those out. We hope in a day. We shall see how that goes. So that's about where we are at and um are looking forward to that. Thank you. >> Great. Thank you. All right. And then um we have Earl Kaufman from MA. Excuse. Um and then it looks like Mr. Bernett is here for the MESPA. Mespa is one of my favorite ones to say because it doesn't sound like an animal sound. >> Well, I want to just uh as usual, thank you all for everything that you do. Uh been in with too many of the study sessions and different things and seeing all the heartache and decision, not heartaches, but there's a lot of stuff that you have to go through. You know, people, oh, it's a school board, they

013just make a decision, throw darts. No, that that's not there is a lot that you go through and I appreciate that. Another thing I want that I want to bring up um is this week uh tomorrow is uh paraprofessional day and I just wanted to uh give a little background of what I looked up of paraprofessionals in the 1960s. PAR professionals were the first hired at work to work in schools around the US with the help of President Lyndon B. Johnson great society anti-poverty program. Unfortunate early pro professional prayer professionals were mostly female and were all poor which created a stigma and made them highly discriminated against as they had no choice but to do the jobs that no one else wanted them wanted to do. Paraprofessionals were endorsed in the US in 1967 by

014the American Bar Association and the and first committee of legal assistance was established in 1968. The 1970 was turning point for the prepared professionals. Their job descriptions changed from a dead-end job that barely paid minimum wage uh to to that job that was sought. This all started with Velmo Hill and UNI uh United Federation of Teachers President Albert Shanker who won their first UFT contract in 1970. The contract tripled their salaries and provided benefits that made the people pursue it uh as a career. Just a couple one thing para professionals are trained sta support staff often called para educators or teachers aids who work unlic underlllicicensed educators to assist in classrooms providing cru crucial academic behavioral and one-on-one support for students particularly those with special needs requiring requirements typically include high school diploma. I just

015wanted to acknowledge our pair professionals in our district of the hard work that they do, the many hours that they put forth and uh helping our teachers succeed in in the classroom. So that that's my report that I have for you today. Thank you. >> Thank you. And and I echo um our appreciation for the pair of professionals and and glad that they have a a day to be recognized and hope they feel it every day. Um, next we have the MEF, um, Murray Education Foundation and Mr. Perry. >> Thank you. And I think I've already shared this, but I'm going to go ahead and withh FFRK. >> FFKR, thank you. uh and BHB engineering who are sponsoring that and uh invited us to participate. We really feel fortunate that they've chosen us this year

016uh to benefit from that. Um the other news I have is the uh the giving machine totals. Uh we were pleasantly surprised to get the uh the final results of that this last week and um Superintendent, you want to do a drum roll? Okay. So, um, it was a record total for local charities, um, in the history of the giving machines, which I think they're in their 10th or 12th year. Maybe it's the ninth year, I can't remember. At any rate, uh, we took in a total of $372,416. So, of that, we had five products in the giving machines. Uh, we had coats. That total was $140,880. Socks, we took in $39,536. School supplies, $74,000 75 or $74,75. Athletic sponsorship, so that's like a t a uh a student athlete being sponsored is 38,950. And

017we mostly had anticipated that that would be for unified sports. Um, but we can we have the flexibility to use it for other things as well. Um, and a health care or doctor visit. And that total was $78,975. So, we've got a lot of money to spend and we've got a lot of great things that we've already identified that we're going to use that money for. And so we are really grateful to the church uh for including us as the first education foundation in Salt Lake Valley to participate in the City Creek uh mall uh giving machines and uh felt very honored to do that but also doubly pleased that uh that we did so well obviously. So anyway, if you have questions about that or have suggestions of of different retailers, maybe we could

018consider, I know Kodapaxi was one that we've talked about approaching uh for the coats and the backpacks. Uh please feel free to reach out. We do have quite a bit of flexibility in how we can use that money. Uh for example, for the health care visits, we can use it for specialists. Uh so that could include mental health specialists. We we could use it for dental specialists, vision specialists. Um, for the for the coats, we can use it for coats, winter coats, uh, hoodies. Uh, because we know that the teenagers, older kids don't tend to like big winter coats. They like hoodies. And so, we're going to co more in that direction. Nevertheless, they've given us a tremendous amount of flexibility in how we use the money. They just want to make sure that we

019use it within a year. So, we've got a lot of spending to do, like I said. Thanks a lot. >> Well, that sounds like great news. That's amazing. Um, do we have any patron statements tonight? >> We do not. >> All right. Thank you. And we'll begin the um report of the board and I'll start down with Elizabeth if that's okay. >> Yeah, that's fine. >> Um I don't have much to report. I hope everyone had a spring break. A nice spring break. And we next week we're all going to be heading to San Antonio for our national school board convention. And tonight I started looking at the sessions to attend. So I'm really excited. It looks like they have some good ones. And that's all I have. >> Thank you. Can't me. >> Um

020I don't have a whole lot to report. Doug, what I mean amazing things that are happening with the education foundation. Um that money is going to go right to help kids. It's just amazing. And I love that there is some sports and some medical. It seems like everything was not everything was covered, some a broad array to help a lot of our kids. I I just love that. And it seems like every week there's something new coming from the education foundation that we're doing this and this. So, um, great job. Appreciate that. And I that's all I have. Thank you, Jill. Um, I just I've been very mindful of all the time that's been put in. Sorry about that. been really mindful of all the time that's been put in as we've uh as a

021board have worked to make decisions to better help the district. And I just want to thank everyone that's been involved in all of those processes looking at at enrollments and maps and all of that and putting that all together. What a great deal of time has been spent and and I just am very appreciative of that this particular month >> and looking forward to San Antonio. Thank you, Jared. >> Uh likewise, I've enjoyed our study sessions and kind of looking at that facility plan and what we're trying to do for our next steps. I know it's a difficult decision um to make and looking at less of enrollment over year over year and having to make decisions based on that. Appreciate also the district and they've been able to provide us with data to help

022us make that decision and hope that we forward with that and in the best way possible. Also looking forward to the conference to see what new opportunities we might be able to glean from that as well. >> Great. Thank you. Um and I'll just report back. I'm on the um partners for prevention committee. Um and we had a really great meeting. Um when was that? My days are almost up sometime recently. This week, Tuesday. Um but that is an interesting committee that has um stakeholders from the whole community involved in it. We've got the health department. Um we had our new city planner um what's his title, Kim Sorenson. >> Oh um >> but the the mayor's right-hand guy. >> Yeah. >> He was at the meeting this time. Um and what this committee has

023done um as of recently is taken the sharp data that we have um where the students in the district are asked things about their mental health and habits and their feelings about different things and um all that data is culminated and it makes um decision making much more pinpointed to the need. So, um, one subcommittee from that got together and pulled some of the data. And so, in this meeting, there were some, um, um, priorities set. And so I just wanted to share those out um because we don't all get to go to this meeting, but they looked at the risk factors and um so as a group um the the ones that rose to the tur surface were the depression depressive symptoms and parental attitudes favorable toward antisocial behavior. Those were some needs that

024were found um by the survey. And some protective factors that that committee is going to focus on is opportunities and rewards for pro-social involvement in the community domain. And then in the behaviors um kind of category is a big focus on um mental health. And then there was some interesting data around um drinking at home with parents permission. And so as a community with all those stakeholders, those are some of the priorities that um are going to be discussed. and some action items planned on that. And so, um, just fascinating to see a room full of, um, people with resources gathering together to look at the kids in our community and how they can help. Um, so really appreciate that. And then, um, Sierra Marsh, um, our district prevention specialist, is also doing a really

025great webinar on Tuesday night. Um, and it's about practical tools for parents based on some of this data that was gathered. Um, and so she's put together a cool presentation um, so that parents can come to that and kind of get some hands-on practical resources and tools. Um, and she looked it up real quick and 47 people have already registered for that. So, just a plug that if you um, know anybody or share the information that that's going to be really productive. Um, and so it's a little pre-registration that went out on Parent Square. Um, and then the sources of strength students are also involved in that committee. And it is so fun to watch those guys lead. It's a room full of adults and we have some of those teenage kids from Murray High

026that lead in some of the discussions. They led one of the activities and um it they're amazing. But uh the sources of strength kids at the high school wrote for a grant and they received $2,000 for the Spartan Closet and they were honored at a Jazz game Monday night. So we have some students that are doing some amazing things. So I really am proud to report um about their efforts. Um and then I'm also part of the attendance committee and that again has a room full of people that are gathered with looking at fulfilling needs for families and um just kind of looked at the year and what worked, what didn't and they have fantastic data and it was really fun to see that almost every single school improved in their data. Um, and they

027have all kinds of charts and they color code if they improved and the whole thing was just smattered with color of of improvements that were made. Um, and then um it was interesting to me to note that um when teachers write a postcard and send that home to a student that um is having some attendance or tardy issues that that is one of the most effective things that they found that it really created um some improvement on the pilot schools that tried that. Um, so that was fascinating. And, um, then just want to thank our city. Um, they've really stepped up and done some incredible work behind the scenes as we're looking at data and information and trying to make our decisions um, about our buildings and boundaries and and and what to do. They've

028put in a lot of time um, to help us with geocoding and heat maps and and things that we don't really have the capability to do. So, just really appreciate that. We focus as a district that we are Murray and that I love that our city is part of that and I really feel so grateful that we are a small town disguised as a big city or vice versa. Um and just again want to echo uh Mr. Bernett's words about our parro educators and um I'm really close to that situation now as I have a daughter who's a parrot in the district and just watching her experience and different things has been really eye openening to me and I appreciated Paris before I had that firsthand knowledge and probably exponentially more now that I have

029her anecdotal day-to-day um experiences that I hear of. So we just could not have the success that we have without our pair professionals. So um thank you. Thank you. Um and that is closes the report of the board and so we'll go to the report of the staff. And so first up we have um a recommendation by Director Tagert. Thank you. >> Okay. There's actually um several recommendations but all all connected to uh the Apex Center. Uh following the going through the recommendations, I would request a motion and a vote from the board for approval of of these recommendations. Um, one, we we recommend the acceptance of the uh Murray High master the Murray High campus master plan deliverables from VCBO that we we accept those and we recommend that uh that they be directed

030to start the design of the apex center as described in their document um under option 1B as we discussed in the study session uh last week. Also, um we would recommend um both BDK and the district staff recommend that in the design of the Apex Center that that design include the idea that a fieldhouse could be built next to it at a future time. So therefore, footings and window placement should reflect that idea that that that that would that could be a possibility in the future. Um and in addition that with with um approval that the VCBO contract will need to be executed with the district for actual design work on the IPX center. And as part of this action, BDK is requesting approval to solicit uh for early contractor involvement uh as part of

031that design work and that will be solicited through public RFP. So, I would request a motion to vote for approval from these recommendations unless there's any questions. >> Just for members of the public, if they haven't been involved, just a reminder that the Apex Center is a grant that we have received from the Utah State Board of Education and the legislature. So, we did receive this is fully funded. It is not taken out of district funds. It is a grant-based. It was formerly called the Catalyst Center. And so districts were invited to apply and Murray district was awarded it and our apex center will be focused on healthc care careers. So >> thank you. Is there a motion? >> I move that we um approve the recommendation for Apex Center design future fieldhouse design services.

032Is that what I'm approving? Recommending. >> Yeah, sure. >> Sounds good. Is there a second? >> I'll second. Thank you. And is there any other discussion? Right. All in favor? >> I. >> All right. Any opposed? >> All right. >> Thank you. And next we have um a comprehensive guidance report. >> I was wondering where Scott was. I couldn't see him. And then you just showed up. Jimmy does not need me to hold his hand, but I just thought I'd come up and just remind the board that every year our counselors um as part of their assurances, our comp guidance team does provide a report to the board with uh what's going on in the comp guidance world. And so it's it's my privilege as part of my role to work with our comp guidance

033team. We meet quarterly and we review a lot of the things that they're doing and a lot of the new policies and the implementations that they're doing in each school. And so this year they're under we're under a interim review which the state requires. So our three secondary schools have been able to um share with each other the practices. We're allowed to review each other. So that's nice. So so our our two junior highs in our high school have been sharing with each other um the practices under the comp guidance standards which has been enlightening for everybody to kind of see what what each school is doing. They're all in alignment. And so, um, tonight, uh, Jimmy Leblau gets to, he drew the short straw, I guess, but we rotate through the through the schools.

034It's Hillcrest Junior High. Jimmy's part of the Hillrest Junior High, um, comp guidance team, and so he is going to share with you a lot of the PCCR and the data for each of the schools tonight. Thank you. >> Hi guys. Uh, glad to be here. Only my second year here. Pretty new to this team. So, uh, I'll be happy to present some of the this data that we have. All right. So, we're going to start off with Murray High's data. All right. So, for our PCCR meetings, that's our plan for college and career readiness meetings. Uh, senior students had a 97% participation rate. Uh, 63% parent participation, almost double the rate from last year. Junior students 95% student participation. uh 68% parent participation. That's up about 8% from last year. Uh sophomore students do

035their uh PCCR meetings as small groups. Parents are invited to participate. Uh 100% of students participated in that. Uh Marie High School's data project, they wanted to increase their Hispanic parent participation in their CCRs by 10% of last year. They offered Spanish speaking nights using translators. This year the results they increased their participation by 16%. The juniors uh oh seniors were increased by 16% juniors were increased by 10%. Next year they're going to work with mentors and members of LIIA. That's the Latinos in action. They're hoping to provide dinner and daycare so that more Spanish families can come to those nights. All right. They have a new counseling corner. Uh this is their little like web page, their announcement page. It's a Canvas page for each grade. All information for students are being delivered through

036these Canvas pages. Uh there's lunch and learns for uh join the military or internship opportunities, uh trades and apprenticeships. All right, Hillrest, that's my team. So, of course, we're doing the best. Uh so, our meetings, uh so seventh grade is classroom PCCRs. Uh we're getting students involved in something called youth science. It's our second year. So, uh by the time our next group of students come through, all middle school students will have an account in youth science. This helps them to um discover their aptitudes and their career interests and it's something that follows them all the way through high school and that the high school uses. Uh this also helps them with job application interviewing skills. Uh and just learning how to talk about college and learning about that terminology early on. uh eighth grade

037we had 100% student attendance. Uh 36% parent attendance. Uh we struggled the parent attendance this year. Uh those were a little more focused on students. Anyways, then nth grade we had 100% student attendance. Uh 52% parent guardian attendance, which for uh our middle school was a record high. So all right, for the first time uh Hillrest attempted to take all of our nth grade girls to sheet. Uh 75 out of our 109 nth grade girls were able to attend. This is a conference that empowers girls to build connections, solve problems, especially explore the world of uh STEM careers. Uh we have a career day coming up at the end of the school year. It's going to be Friday, May 22nd at 9:15. Uh we already filled about half of our slots and we're really excited.

038Uh we're really filling it out with military opportunities, trades, nursing, doctors, lawyers. Uh we're really excited for that. Last year we got uh over 30 presenters from the community. There was tons of good reviews. Uh already a good majority of our people returning are people who came last year who just want to come again because they had such a positive experience. Um we had such a good experience with our students. Even our harder to reach students like they got to choose where they wanted to be and they were really involved. So, our data project um was a similar high school. We wanted to increase our engagement with our Hispanic population, specifically with our students in the counseling center by 30% by the end of the third quarter. Um we acquired a Spanish speaking check and

039connect mentor. Uh we have a Spanish speaking school psychologist and a Spanish speaking contract therapist. Uh classroom introductions uh to the counseling center. So, we have those in Spanish so that students know what the counseling center is and what we do and that they can come on down. Um, there's interpreting services offered during these PCCRs. Uh, we also held a registration night specifically in Spanish for the Spanish speaking families which we had a great turnout. Um, and we actually saw almost a 45% increase of visits to the counseling center from Hispanic students. Uh next year we would like to add more liaison and connections not just for our Spanish speaking community but other languages and cultures as well. Uh we would also like to strengthen our small group efforts for all of our ELLL students.

040Right now Riverview our other middle school. So uh they're PCCRs. Um they're working on character strength worksheets. They set goals this year to help them reach future career options. um they fill out employability skills worksheets. They discuss registering for classes for next year and how their choices can align with those goals. Eighth grade PCCRs say they had 100% student attendance. 90% parent attendance. 96% of eighth graders um said that they have a plan to attend some sort of post-secary education. uh individual PCCRs for ninth grade, 100% student attendance, 93% parent guardian attendance, 94% of nth graders plan on attending some sort of post-secary education there at Riverview. Uh so Riverview is also able to take most of their ninth graders over to Sheet. Uh 74 out of their 90th graders attended this. Um yeah, it

041was a it was a great conference and a really big success. And so they're also having a career day. It's a slightly different day because we also have some overlap of people who in the community who want to reach out to both schools. They have theirs on Tuesday, May 19th, uh 8 starting at 8:15. Um they have just a slightly different layout from us. School works slightly differently. Um students will input their preferences and uh they'll be evenly split between all the speakers. All online educationformational meetings. Uh I know as a school district we're kind of revamping our policies around online education. Uh school board and the district have updated these rules. We have a little sheet that we can send to uh families. It's already gone out on um parent square. Uh which will

042this will impact this upcoming summer and then upcoming school year. School counselors are going to host twoformational meetings. Um, these are both at Riverview that parents and guardians can receive this information and talk about it and we can address any concerns they have. One's going to be Friday, April 17th, starting at 10:25. The other one's going to be Tuesday, April 21st, starting at 6 PM. Both meetings will be at uh at Riverview in their auditorium. All right, Riverview's data project. Um, the next slide is going to have a chart uh that shows the number of students taking honors classes. uh disagregated by ethnicity. They saw an increase in all ethnic groups taking honors classes this year. They continue to work on increasing the numbers of students who identify with minority ethnic groups to take honor

043classes. For example, they use PCCRs, course registration presentations, elective presentations, and teacher and counselor advertisements to encourage students to take these classes and so that they know their options. Um as you can see, this chart looks great. um 25 26 especially like that's a very even top there. Um we saw increased engagement across pretty much every single one of those e ethnic groups um which is which is awesome. We don't want to see see big gaps there. So okay that's all I have for you guys. Thank you. >> Thank you. It was nice to hear from you. Thanks for coming. Next we have the bond projects updates by director Tagard again. Welcome back. Um, so update with the bond projects at the high school edition. Things are moving forward. In fact, you know, it probably

044from the outside doesn't look like that there's much going on because the exterior is is by and large a lot of it's finished. Now, there's there are some kind of cosmetic things that will happen along the way, but that's down the road. But the exterior structure is complete. Um, the roof is complete. um except for for a window area on the second floor and a window area on the third floor where they're still putting supplies through until the elevator can be functioning which it's if it's not there it's close. I know that they are working on that. Um they're continuing to to do working on the finishes on the first floor tile paint. They have the T- grid in for the drop ceiling tiles on the first floor and installing some on the second floor.

045um over spring break they they did the electrical switch over and so they um they fed the power from the existing building um into into the um addition. So it it is it does have power at this point and they'll just continue doing that. There's a lot of um work in the mechanical room on the first floor uh putting in the the heat pumps and getting things connected that way and then that will just continue going going up at Riverview. Um there's a lot going on at Riverview. First thing is as um it's not a it's not a an area to be alarmed at because we are still good on the schedule. Uh there is kind of a pinch point in the schedule with with uh steel erection. With that, um Hugh has brought in

046a second erect uh steel erection company to assist with steel erection to to protect. As I said, we're not in a problem with our our critical path, but to protect that critical path so we do not get behind schedule. So, a second uh steel erection company will be coming on site. Uh, so we'll have one working in the in the gym area and one working in other parts of the the building. Um, having said that, the I can't say enough about the masons that are working on site there because they've set up scaffolding in several areas so as steel erection happens in a certain area, they can follow right behind and they don't lose any time picking, you know, setting up and taking down. And so they're continuing they're continuing to do the block area,

047the the block and the locker rooms. In fact, uh I walked through there today and I was realized I was halfway through and I went, "Oh yeah, these are the locker room areas for because for so long it was just an open spot in between the the gym which was tilt up and then the rest of the building. That's all u that has all been blocked in and is really taking structure there. Um, in the classroom areas, there's a portion of the building that's actually dried in, has the roof, and they're they're doing uh sheetrock tape, mud and tape in there, and it's coming together. But, um, there's a lot of moving parts on it. And so depending on where you go in the building, you know, there are some areas that look like some

048of the areas of the high school and then there's other parts of the of the G Riverview. You go, okay. Yeah, we're not we're not near as far as along, but there again, it's a much larger structure. So, um, that's what's going on at both schools. Any questions? >> Had a little heart attack when I saw the whole blue. I was like, we're not blue. Then I was like, "Okay, that's just a, you know, that's just insulation and stuff." When I drove by, I was like, "What is going on here?" >> It shows up. Yes, it does. >> We did that with another building I worked on previously and the instead of it being blue, the outside facing facing was a neon green and it showed up clear up the canyon. You when you look

049down in the valley, you could see it. So, yes, I know what you're talking about, but no, it's it won't stay that color. >> I appreciate that. Yeah, >> I have got some comments about the parking on the the grass and just Okay, that's that's our um the construction workers. >> Correct. Okay. And the and the with that and I'm glad you brought that up because um that area will actually is going to start construction next week where the where that fenced off area is on the grass that's east of the building right now is um there will be underwater retention in that area and so that's where it will start. Now, you may have noticed or maybe not that we have actually entered into a interlocal agreement with Murray City Parks and Recck and

050we've actually fenced off an area and pushed out into the park on the south side of the construction that will be both layown and parking. Um and and in part of it is in is um in response to um when we started the construction um we had to remove the bus loop. Okay. And so we worked out an agreement with Murray City to have the bus because there's only one bus that picks up to pick up in the parking lot in the park. Well, as the as the project uh was gaining more momentum and the weather was so cooperative over the wintertime, there were more and more workers. And so then they were like, "Hey, we're going to start parking in the park." And it created a problem for our bus to get in and

051out. >> And so, um, the the people parking in that fenced off area east of east of the building is a temporary fix. So we could continue moving the bus through there, but it was it was it's going to be start being dug up next week. So that that's what's happening in that area. >> Okay, great. Thank you for that update. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Thanks. >> Thank you. And next is the secondary book recommendations by Dr. Echler. >> Did you want to connect Dr. Echler or do you want me to? >> Um you can show this. Yeah, you can show the the documents the review. >> No problem. >> Um it's that time butterfly in the sky. I can go twice as high. Just take a look. It's in a book or 10 books.

052A lot of books. Okay. Sorry. No more singing. Um >> love it. >> Secondary teachers submitted book considerations um back in mid January. Um we had a lot of books this go around. And so for the last two months, the secondary book committee has been reading vigorously 10 different books um that we're I'll be talking about tonight. Um and given the number of the books, we actually expanded the committee from what it was back in the fall. We had uh it was some some members of the committee read every single book, but not everyone could commit to that. So, but what we did is or what I set up is to ensure that every book had our appropriate ratio of two parents, two teachers, instructional coach, administrator, and myself. Um, so they still met all

053the criteria as you'll see as I highlight the different books that were reviewed. It will indicate which members of the committee voted for which book. Um, so that was one change. Committee members were instructed regarding our instructional material standards as part of our policy IN304. And in addition, I re I shared the sensitive material guidelines from the state with them before we reviewed all the committees. So they or all of the books. So they were aware of considerations that are important as per both state and district policy. Um of the 10 books, nine books received unanimous approval by the committee members. One book did not. You will not see that book submitted this evening. It's been our practice um both at the elementary and the secondary level. If we have a book that doesn't receive

054unanimous, we don't bring it to the board for consideration. So in the board docs for each book you will see a review. So for each book um it includes the title, the author, um the addition if it's relevant, the grade, publication date, I'm sorry, the suggest requested grade, there is a synopsis provided um by Amazon or Goodreads um if you're not familiar with the book. In addition, there are reviews if they're available from school library, Kirkus, and Book List. for seven of the nine books. Um, Common Sense Media did have reviews of those books. Um, this template is something I think you've seen in the elementary. I really appreciate um, director Teao sharing this with me because I let's keep things consistent. So, the books that we review, both elementary and secondary, we have a

055similar sort of format. So, if for seven for the seven books, if there was common sense media review, that is included. For the two books that did not have a common sense media, um, we use rated reads. It's a review, a secondary reviewer that we've used in the past, but every book will have some sort of additional sort of content review for you to to consider. Um, in addition, you will have the um the the names of those members of the committee who voted for each book. And also, again, like I said, all of these nine books are unanimously approved. I'm going to go through each book just and share the title and the grades initially and then if you have different questions or points of discussion. This is a first read and I get

056this is a lot of reading not only for the committee and I want to give a shout out to the committee because again this was this was a pretty heavy lift um initially when um the high school said we've got a lot of books we want to consider I was like okay well then I had we had to do some a little bit like tweaking of some of these dates because we wanted to make sure that we also had enough time for the board to appropriately consider and have two board meetings to consider whatever they produced um as their recommendations But yeah, I again big shout out to that committee and for all those members who who read a lot. I personally want to thank the Libby app and the uh that allowed me to

057um complete some of the books that um and if and and I have copies of all of these books if you have any particular questions. So the 10 books include A Monster Calls which is being recommended for 10th and 12th grade 10th through 12th grades. A thousand Splendid Sons, which is being recommended for tw 11th grade, sorry. Um, all 13, The Incredible Cave Rescue of the Thai Boys Soccer Team, which is being recommended 9 through 12. Before the Ever After, 7th through 8th grades, Hotel on the Corner of Bitter Sweet, 10th grade, Into the Wild, 11th grade, Mexi Kid, a graphic memoir, it's a graphic novel. um 7th through 9th grade, remarkably bright creatures, 10th grade, and The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind 10th grade. So again, this is a first reading. Any questions or

058about the books or the process from the board? >> I do have a question. And so these that are um requ the grade level requested for 10th grade if there's a 10th or 11th grader in the class is is it only recommended for 10th graders to read or how does that work? >> So so typically in our ELA classes um they are very just nth grade English is nth grade English. So it's only graders. I think the only thing where you could see some um difference and this is something I think um I'm looking at and I'm going to bring it up with our committee for next year is as we look at grade reconfiguration I think it's it' be good for us to kind of look at reviewing the entire list in the sense

059of how it's organized because we will have some books where like there you're like like one of these books for example um Mexicid is being currently currently considered 79 N well then is nine since it's at the high school like do we need to like maybe make some tweaks there? There's also some books on our current list that they say AP the high school is looking at including AP Lang as a course. I'm not sure if that has been finalized yet but AP Lang and AP Lit are two different courses. So we may need to do some cleaning up and that's and and the AP classes I think are the only place where you may see in the future >> multiple grades. And I think traditionally, that's a great question and thank you Dr. Ushler,

060you did a great job. It you can always go up, you just can't go down. So it 10th grade is kind of the cut off for this book. So 11th and 12th graders could read it. We just wouldn't have it lower than 10th grade. So >> and and one unique thing about ELA standards in general from um a standards, they banned the grades. So currently according to ELA standards, 78 are the same band. So technically >> seven eighth graders have the exact same standards. 910 are a band. 112 are a band. >> Okay. And then I had one more question on on the book. Can you go back to just any one of these? >> Any one of them? >> Yeah. And then scroll down where the ratings are. >> Yes. >> Um this one

061let's go to this one is cut. >> So those ratings there are not they those came from a book read or not the committee read. Those came from Common Sense Media. >> Okay, perfect. >> Yep. And there's a rating provided for those. Common Sense Media um rates books on a number of different like areas. You'll notice that. So, like this book, for example, includes violence, drinking, language, sex, and romance, positive messages. Not all of their ratings include every single category. Okay, >> makes sense. >> I just wanted to make sure as I look through those where those ratings came from. And it might be good because this is a pretty extensive list and a huge shout out to the committee and to Dr. Echler for organizing this. But perhaps at our April 23rd study session

062taking a little bit of time if you can look at these before then and if you have questions um that might be a good thing and then we can discuss a little bit more if needs be >> and maybe just remind me the process. So if an English teacher is planning their near year next year and they say hey I I want to read remarkably bright creatures. So to do that in class then they have to submit it and go through this process. So that's how all of these >> Yes. >> That's a great question. So in the past we have had kind of two submission periods a kind of fall and spring. Um we communicate with teachers through our educator updates and our secondary communication. Here is the date at which you have to

063submit a book by. Um we it goes through our Cogno I'm sorry I still don't know all of the of the forms that we use. I think it's Cognio. Um where we have a template they fill out. They submit that by a particular date. I then take those applications um I share them with the committee that and then kind of organize based on the number of submissions we have um how long the review process is going to be. In the fall we only had one book for the secondary committee. Um and so then teachers are informed that until the book has been reviewed and then it has also been voted on by the board and and current um instructional materials updates by the state require um consideration in two open meetings and so we've decided

064to make sure it's part of two board meetings. um then they can choose to order assuming that like you know the board approves it then they can order it and teach it for the following year. We're considering given um the director Tam and I have both discussed that we we're considering making this a once a year opportunity given sometimes the number of books given because and also given the fact that now we have to as per state policy have these two open board meetings. In the past, it was kind of just a a first reading. The board could vote and so we to ensure that there's enough time both for the committee to review these books and again a big shout out because again like we initially saw the list and like and I like

065to read and I like you know so like so I'm okay with that but it was a it was it was a lift for some of our committee members and I appreciate all and I appreciate all the parents who are willing to step up you know to read a lot of books and so um does that clarify your question? Thank you. All right. Thank you for that presentation. All right. Next up, we have a superintendent has a list of a few things and here we go. >> All right. So, it's the season. So, the first one is uh school fee requests for the 2627 school year. Prior to this year, these needed to be done by April 1st, but there was a change in board rule and so they are now due by June 1st

066in order for us to um have these published to our public. And so this is a first reading. During our study session, I did give you a copy of each of these. So you should have had all this information that you could look and see. Um, but we do have the school fees for the high school. And on here, we are proposing that there be a total maximum fee of $7,500 per student for the year. And then as we go through, these are all posted on our website. They are also here in board or in our on our board agenda. On each of these, the amount that you see in the right hand column is the the total amount or the highest amount, the maximum amount that can be charged to a student for that

067course or that activity. Each of these then have a spend plan associated with it. And so when you click on one of them, we'll just go right here. it will take you to the spend plan and it will tell you what that is being spent for. So that is a statutory requirement. Um a huge thank you to our schools, our secondary schools who are the ones who can charge fees who have put these together. And so these are broken out even though the state board rule now says we have fee courses and non-fee courses. So a fee course is anything that you can charge a fee course or a fee for. A non-fee course are courses that are they they are the courses that are general courses essentially. They are we can't charge fees for

068math, science, um English language arts or social studies. And so those are in those are not included in here. There is a carveout for AP and concurrent enrollment courses. So you will see AP biology, AP Chem, you will see our concurrent enrollment courses in the sciences that we can charge fees for. >> Yes. basically the ones that are non fee or ones that are required for graduation. >> They they typically are they're the well they're the core classes. So they're that's a great clarifying question. They are the core classes in math, English, science, and social studies. The other thing that is coming for the 2627 school year is we do have to have a path where if a student does not want to pay a fee, um they can meet all the graduation requirements without

069having to pay a fee. And so Dr. Escher has wor and assistant superintendent Wahhungi have worked on that and we will make sure that that is noted on here as well. All right. So I I don't want me to go through all these. You can look through them. They are broken down into I did put them into curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular just because that's how our public is typically knows it so that they can look through that. Um, continuing on, if we the junior high school ones are also on there. Now, because we have two different junior highs and we we don't require that they align. I think we are going to get much better at this in the middle school model. We are going to make sure that, you know, we're going to do

070some alignment of courses, but you will see that there will be a link for this, the spend plan for Hillrest and the spend plan for Riverview. So, that's why there is a link for each of those. Again, those are broken down into the different categories. You can see those on there. And then although we do not charge fees in elementary, there are some what we call discretionary fees, which are non-waveable fees that we do charge in the district. They can be charged anywhere from K through from K through 12. So that is our Chromebook insurance. Uh a late pass due account can be charged and then our non-resident permit fee. So those do need to be specified on our fee sheet. Any questions? This is a first reading. It will come for a second reading

071in May. It will not be on the consent agenda. It will be an an item on the board agenda. But are there any questions that I can answer for you at this point regarding those? >> Do you want to go back to the the secondary >> and then our nail tech? I just wonder if that needs to be clarified a little bit better. I looked at that one. >> Okay. Um, >> let me go back to where that is. It's going to be under curricular. Okay. >> Not the the the one that's this the Neltech advanced. >> Okay. >> I'm just wondering if at the if they need to separate because they have 680 here and then all the way down is the 974. >> So, if they just want to kind of put that

072out. >> That's great. We will we will get that taken care of. I will take a look at that. Thank you for noticing that, board member Anderson Miltech. Thank you. >> I did have a question. I didn't notice this until um I love that all the information we need is on there. Whether we see it or not is another question. Um at the very top where it says um the maximum total fee that may be charged per student in one school year is 7500. I I had not keyed into that before. So, what does that look like? If we have a kid that like qualifies for National Robotics and like HOSA or something, they wouldn't be able to go to the second one. >> Well, we wouldn't be able to charge them a fee. So,

073most of the national competitions are sponsor. A lot of them are through CTSOs and there is some funding that comes through that. So, I will say we have not had that happen, but we can certainly look if if we'd like to increase that. Um I don't love it, but because of the legislation where >> um fee waver students are limited, >> I think it makes sense to have a cap so we're not just having this crazy stuff that not all kids can, >> right? And and we are required by statute to have a cap. And so we have had the 7500 for many years. That's pretty much in line with what the other districts in Salt Lake County do. Um and what this does say though that if it goes over 7500 then it's the

074responsibility of the school essentially would have to pick up that that funding. We can't charge any more than that. So >> okay but it hasn't >> we have not had that there was a cap >> and yeah obviously because it's not an issue. So okay I just was like I'm glad you question >> other questions I can answer. Um the only other question I had is as I look through these there there is very few but a couple of potentials where like robotics it says fall leadership national and state. So really if they go to fall leadership and then state then the national would have to be paid for by the district >> if they are on a fee waiver. Yes. And if it's the the definition, so that's on our overnight travel. The definition

075is um the new the new law says that only two a student can only receive a fee waiver for two overnight travel. And they've defined overnight travel as two or more nights. >> Okay. >> Two or more nights. So we have very few that are two or more nights, which is kind of nice. So yeah, that is in statute. And we will be updating our fee waiver policy. We're just waiting for some additional information from the Utah State Board of Education so we can get started on all of the policies that we need to update. Um but yes, so that that it it is defined as two or more. >> Okay, so that wouldn't be a >> correct >> because most of their camps are generally only one night at the most. Okay, perfect. >>

076That's that's a great recognition of that though. >> Okay, I'll go on to number two. Number two kind of goes along with what we were just talking about, which was the overnight uh educational travel request. again for a first reading. Again, we did look at this and I'm sorry that this is turned this way, but we did look at this at our our study session last time we met, but you will have you have in your packet, it's got all of them listed and what dates they are going. It is a little bit challenging because sometimes they don't know the exact dates, so they put in the month as close as they can. And this year, I I went back a couple of times and said, I need a little bit more specificity because they

077were really broad, like we're going to go sometime in the fall. And I'm like, "No, like pick some months so that we know." And then all of the overnight travel requests are included in here. On the travel request, they have to uh specify who is requesting what group, who the teacher adviser is, the number of students that will involve, the dates, the location, the description, um the connection with curriculum and anticipated educational benefits, and then the method of transportation. As a reminder, as per our overnight travel policy, our students cannot miss more than two school days for overnight travel. So, we did I did check on all of those. We are good on that. For some of them, they will have to leave on a Wednesday afternoon and that's a lot of times what they

078do. And that is maybe an advantage of our Wednesday early out day that sometimes our travel can start Wednesday and then they can be miss Thursday and Friday and get back. Um, they also have to talk about, you know, that they recognize at the very top here that they've read and understood understand board policy and that they've submitted a fee request. So, I did double check and all of the overnight travel requests have an associated fee request on the fee sheets. Any questions on this, please? >> Uh, not particularly on this. I just know that a few of our teams because of the busing being so hard and expensive, they did parent travel, which we allow. We just need to make sure that all of them are completing that parent travel um form prior to

079the travel. >> Well, or is that only if they are driving other students? >> Yeah, if they're driving other students, they have to. If they're driving their own, they don't have to, but if they're driving other students. >> Okay, that's good to know. Yes, that's a that's a great clarification and I do believe I will make sure that we once these are approved we I include that in my messaging. I know that um athletic director Smith I think monitors that pretty closely but we will definitely want to make sure the administration follows up on that as well. So thank you. Okay, anything on overnight travel? All right. Next, it is time for land trust plans. So, the change in the date was great for fees, but now we've got everything colliding at the same time.

080Uh, so you have a a new folder today on your at your station, and the first one is this is a first reading of the 2026 2027 school land trust plans. So, you do have a folder with all of the school land trust plans from each of the schools. I do want to say a huge thank you to our our principles as well as our school community councils who spent a lot of time looking at these. They are um they were asked to make sure they were aligned to our strategic plan as well as to the greatest needs of the school. And so I'm not going to go through each of these. They are all linked here. I do want to say that on April 23rd on our study session, we do have all of

081our administrators along with either their council chair or vice chair who will be coming to present on their plan. And so we've done that in the past. Um, >> it's been very helpful, I thought. So, you also have the TSSA, which we call the school improvement student success plans there as well, and you have them in your folder because they are all coming on the 23rd. In the past, we have just asked you to maybe read a couple of schools. I kind of want to propose so that maybe when these individuals come, there could be a little bit more interaction. Perhaps the board look at all of the plans and maybe just jot down a few notes. I if you're amunable to that, if not, we can certainly go back to the you read a

082couple of different schools. But I do think because we only have 10 schools and I know that's a lot of reading. Not as many books as Bruce. Well, it's as many books as Bruce's book committee read. Um, these are hopefully a little bit quicker. The one thing about these is if you look at the school land trust plan, then you look at the student success plan. The student success plan has the school land trust plan on it as well. So, they have those goals and then they just add to it the additional monies that they have. So, is the board a board president, are you guys amunable to maybe taking a look at all of them or would you like to divide them out? I am open for discussion on it. I think that I

083would prefer for us to pick a couple schools like we've done in the past. Um and if we want to read on beyond that, um that's how I feel about it. >> So make sure that all of laser focus. I feel like that we do it the same that we've done in the past and make our notes on the schools that we are assigned. But if we want, of course, to read all 10 schools, anyone could do that and make comments. >> I'm I'm fine with either way. Um, just now that I mean, back in the day, they were not like this, so they're very easy to read through. >> Um, so I'm good either way. Um I guess uh yeah I'm I mean they don't really change much from year to year you know

084so it is a little bit better to focus on the the two that you are so you don't just skim over them but I'm also open to reading all of them. >> Okay. I don't know that I have a preference um because because you try to read as many as you can. So, I would be okay to read all of them, but but I like the idea of a laser focus on the two. >> So, I'm I'm going >> Okay. Um well with that I think um maybe I'll just recommend that we do split up but with that because I do agree with them coming and taking the time. I do like to be familiar with >> with what's happening and so um so if we split it up typically do we need to go

085through or do we >> Yeah, maybe let's just specify. So typically in the past um Cammy you have read Grant. Let me know if you're okay with this. Um, Kelly, you have read Horizon. >> Elizabeth, you've read Liberty. >> Yes. >> Jiren, you've read Long View. Jill, you've done Parkside. So then that leaves McMillan, Vmont, Hillrest, Riverview, and Murray High. >> I also did Hillrest last time as well. >> Okay. Elizabeth will do Hillrest. >> I can take the high school. >> Okay. Kelly will take the high school. >> Then I'll take Vmont. >> Okay. Um, Cammy will take Vmont. So that leaves us McMillan and Riverview. >> Actually, you know what, Cammy? If somebody else wants the high school, I I go to those meetings, so I'm familiar with it already. So, somebody else

086can >> and then I'll do Riverview >> instead if McMillan. >> Sorry. Okay. So, Jared's going to do the high school. Kelly will do Vmont. Is that what we said? >> Sure. Okay. Uh Jill will do McMillan >> and Cammy will do Riverview. Okay. >> Who's Parkside? >> Parkside is Jill. >> Who's McMillan? >> McMillan is Jill. >> Jill. >> Okay. Great. Perfect. So, yes, I challenge us all to do what we can with with our time with the intent of looking at all of them, laser focus on those ones. >> I love that. I think that's a great plan. Thank you. >> All right. And those are the items I have. >> Okay. Excellent. Then for um we have some board business tonight. Um the first one is the announcement of the business administrator

087posting. So that has gone out and you can find that on the district website and at the USBA.cc website as well. Oh look, there it is. >> So we have a lovely pamphlet that um has good information. Um, so just putting that out there to the public that we are in search and cannot replace Rich, but we're going to try. >> It won't be too hard, I guess. >> Second. Oh, wait. And then the second item of business for the board is um looking at we have been spending a lot of time looking at the elementary closure and boundary realignment. And so we've got a timeline that we wanted to make sure that our public is aware of that um there will be a change starting in the fall of 2027. So that gives us

088the leadway to fill our statutory requirements that we're required to do. Um there will be public input times and and lots of things. Um and so as as we move through the process, I just wanted to make sure that the public is aware that there will be a change fall of 2027. We're in the process. And so this um timeline walks through the process very clearly. And I appreciate the uh the visual of it. So, um, we're still doing our internal planning. So, we're on step one right now of the internal planning analysis, draft scenarios, and discussions. And it's been really fascinating. And I referred to that in my board report that the city's been really helpful in providing um some really helpful data and just really appreciate the district personnel behind the scenes pulling

089together numbers and and the data that we're asking for. Um and so as as we truck along, there's um notices that will go out, recommendations made, public hearings um made. Um and then it's down in no December 10th is when that final board vote will be. Um so a recommendation will be made earlier, but that final v um board vote will be December 10th. and and again that this will be for the fall of 2027. So as our ninth graders move up, our sixth graders move up, we open buildings, um our elementary schools will then be K through five and some changes will need to be made at that point. So we're in the process of all that fun things and I just really appreciate the board that we have. Um I appreciate the collaboration

090that we're able to have, the discussions. Um, I hope that they feel honest and sharing their feelings. Um, and and I think that we are good at that and listening to each other and just appreciate that when these really important decisions are being made that we have the team that we have and um, the strengths that we have to bring to the table for that. Um, so here we go. That is coming. And then um, >> is this something that will be on the website or what's our our communication strategy on this? Um my thought is I thought we would we would send it out in our educator update on Wednesday so our educators are aware and then we will get it on our website so we can get you know information about there is

091going to be an elementary school closure or closures and a boundary realignment for the fall of 2027 and start moving forward. >> If that if if you'd like it any other way, please let me know. We do have some statutory requirements where we have to send things out via mail. There's two we have to send it um the initial notice has to be sent out through both parent square and mail. So we'll already have a big mailing that will go out right at the beginning of the next school year. >> Okay. >> All right. Any other discussion on that? Great question. Thank you. All right. And then I do not we do not have a need for a close session tonight, but we do have a need for the board to stay after and just

092make sure we are planned for our NSBA conference just that we've got kind of everything we need together with that. >> Great. Thank you. So we will dismiss
