001I'd like to welcome you to this meeting of the Granite Falls School Board. Um the Oh, I already said that. Please stand for the pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance 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. Okay, tonight in attendance we have director Gaulner, director Dne, Director Leoo, Director Terry, and myself, Director Kate, as well as our superintendent Diesel. Um, that moves us on to item number 2A, board comments. Start down with Director Gawkner. Move, please. I don't have anything now. Okay, Director Dave. Yeah. Uh well, I I want to say I apologize for all the the absentees I've had. Um just had knee surgery and I'm back um here looking forward to this

002end stretch of the year. A lot of hard work that we have to do over the next couple of weeks, make sure that our budgets are in line and that we're ready for the 25 26 uh year. So, um not going to be easy, but I know that with this board will be what we need to do to get um our system moving in the right direction. Uh yeah, from a WIAA perspective, uh no major updates there. Um, as far as comments though, um, piggybacking and elaborating on Director Dayne's comments, um, you know, this this coming year and coming years, um, we all have to address kind of a that the student population, at least for the first first time in a long time, first time since I've been on the board, um, is actually

003getting smaller. And that's that's through a number number of reasons. Um, you know, there's the sewer moratorum. There's also the fact that, you know, our co-op with Lake Stevens, uh, the students that are going to Crossroads, many, if not all, uh, will eventually be making their way back to Lake Stevens. Um, and so I I know that there are strong feelings within the community on both sides of growth, right? Some greatly oppose it, some greatly want it. Um, fact of the matter is less students means less funding. Um, that's just how the model works. Um, but I did want to say, you know, I'm confident in our district's administration, um, that we will act in a manner that best serves the students because at the end of the day, that's why we're all here, students,

004their outcomes. Um, and so we'll keep moving forward with that. Um, and then on a happier note, I know we're still, what is it? We're still like a month and a half away from graduation stuff, but that's by far the favorite time of year, and you'll probably hear it in my board comments here until we actually go through and then you'll hear it after about how much fun it was. Um, it's great to, you know, shake everybody's hands and and see all the success and hard work that's been put in and see all the all the family members that are up in the crowd and all the teachers that are there that have supported them along the way. So, I'm really excited for that hearing. But that's me for this week. All right, Mr. Carrie.

005Um, yeah. First off, congratulations to grandma and the wonderful addition. Thank you for sharing the picture. Gorgeous, gorgeous addition to your family. Um, it's also uh admin day. So, thank you to all the admins we have in the district. I tried to grab flowers, but I didn't have time. I was struggling in from Tug Willis. So, I I'll get you guys next time or later, I should say. Um uh the other I just wanted to talk real that that's all on comments just to go into the legislative report. Um uh there is some certainly some good news out of what is certainly a tough um session um that they're having right now. Um uh Senate 5263 was passed um which does a couple of really good things for sped. Um the biggest which is it

006removes the cap on sped um and gets quarterly payments which Marshall I'm sure will tell you is amazing. Now we don't have to essentially write a interest free check to the state and then um and then wait till the end of the year to be able to get paid some portion of that interest free check back. So, um, all of that doesn't start till the 2025 school year, but, um, that'll certainly help, uh, school districts like us that are currently above the, um, artificially determined, uh, sped cap. So, um, I uh, I I do applaud um the the Washington state for making that step forward. Certainly didn't do everything that we were hoping for, but um, it's certainly a big step forward. Um, and I believe it passed um on a 970 vote, too. So,

007it's it's good that everybody was kind of aligned and um that's all I've got. Okay. Um I wasn't going to address this. I never intended to address this and then it was thrown out into the community this last week. So, now is my opportunity to address this. Um it was brought into question um myself and our my entire boards um whether or not we should be on the board because some of us don't have children in this district. Um I did have children in this district. Um when I joined the board I had children in this district. Um because of my being on the board and being so involved with my kids in their schools I found a love of education myself. I went back to school and I got my master's degree in elementary

008education and I am now a teacher. I brought my kids with me to the private school that I work at. Um, is it anyone's business that I did that? No, it is not. I brought them there because it was what was right for my family. And I don't speak for the board on where their kids are. We have board members who have students in our district. But I will say that we are all very active in our community and we love this community and we love the kids in this community. I have an amazing neighborhood that I've lived in for 15 years. It's longer than I've lived anywhere in my life but here in Granite Falls. And I have tons of people in my neighborhood who have kids in this district. And I'm here for

009them. And my kids might be back. My school only goes to 8th grade. So they might be back. It's a strong possibility. But for right now, they're with me. And that's the most important place that they need to be at right now for them for their for their growth in education. So, I just wanted to address that and because it's out there and whether or not we should be here or not and are we vested in this uh school board, I wouldn't be here. Why would I be here if I didn't care? My kids are not here. Why would I be here? I'm here because I care and because I love this place and I love this community. And so, I just wanted to address that. So here my thank you. Okay. Um moving on

010to item number 3A, district reports. Superintendent T. Thanks. And if anybody gets whether she was a teacher or not, you just have to look at her hands and they have paint on that she um hands up. Dr. Concaid. Oh, I'm sorry. What? Paint. Oh, my paint. I would I I teach an art class I teach an afterchool art class for kindergarten through second grade that All right. Um we'll go to the superintendent report. Corey, could you hit um I think it's a couple of slides ahead. Yeah, perfect. And one more. All right. I wanted to take a little little bit of time tonight to talk about the rationale for the reduction in force uh the resolution. And thank you board members for, you know, kind of already speaking to this a little bit. I won't

011spend a ton of time here, but we have a legal requirement um if we anticipate that we could have a reduction in force and the RCW is is noted there that requires a board approval of a reduction in force if there's going to be one. Um and then written notice to any affected certificate of staff by May 15th. That's certificate of staff that are administrative or certificate of staff that are are teachers or ESAs in our system. Um and so by having this on the board meeting tonight, it gives us enough time to then hopefully get more budget information um from the state and the federal government and other entities. And then you know while we're while we're engaging in the projected enrollment um you know discussions uh the prototypical model um that we have

012from the state and all the work that's being done by everyone at the back table um to work with our building administrators on how many kids we project that we're going to have and what that staffing looks like. it doesn't always fit nicely in the little box with a bow. And so I think all of our building leaders and um and cabinet for the ongoing work around that. Um the rationale for the riff um is we have uncertain state funding. Uh Director Kerry spoke to to one component, but there's still several things out there that we are not sure about. Um the session is supposed to end on April 27th. It could go to an extended session. That generally doesn't bode well for districts. So, we hope that they they're able to to wrap it

013up by then. The federal funding um is at risk. Um I I was having a discussion with our some of our labor partners and you know, we we hope that if that does happen that the state, you know, has has some some things that they might do, but we don't know what the the um the feds are going to do. And so, that is 2.1 million um for us. Those are everything from all the title programs that we have. Um and then uh special education, a portion of special education is funded from the federal government. And then uh child nutrition, declining birth rates um across the the nation actually there are fewer incoming kindergarten students. Um this year we have 142 uh kindergarteners. One is sitting in the audience today. Um and in this school

014year and we projected about 160. You don't know how many kinders you're going to have even with the work that we do with our early learning providers and things. Um in past years it's been between 165 and 185. So you can see that there's um just less kiddos coming to school. Um there's a suns setting as u director Leoo talked about the sun setting of the interlocal agreement. Um we knew that would happen someday but uh we've been working with Lake Stevens School District. Um next year there will be less students at Crossroads High School and the following year there will the the agreement will sunset. um they will have their students back and so we're really working try to work closely with them so we can get some firmer numbers but um it it's

015looking to be 40 to 50 less students at Crossroads next year and then the overall enrollment decline and we've done some work on that but um in November we um had 56 more kiddos in the whole system K12 um than we do today so 75 less than projection and so we are trying to be really financially responsible in this RIFF resolution in case we have to to make some really difficult choices. Um we do have some attrition. We do have you know some resations and retirements and things. We will absolutely um take those into consideration as we make those as we make those decisions. And next slide. Our strategy is um again in prior years the enrollment shifts and the changes were smaller and absorbed through attrition. So if we maybe needed to reduce a

016couple of positions, which we have done, we even did it, you know, when I was coming on last spring. Um, but that was generally at the district level in some TOSA positions and those kind of things. Um, we don't have as many retirements and resignations yet. Um, and then lastly, if it becomes necessary, we will work uh with our labor unions um and ensure that everything we do aligns with CBA. Um, there's a reference there in the contract. In fact, we were working um Emily and I had a call with GFA. I had a call with them this morning and then another call this afternoon um really getting some um as we've dug into the the CBA and some clarification on section 8.6. So, um we'll work closely with them. These decisions are never never

017done um in isolation and um we will make sure that we follow the CBA and thoughtfully look at next year also being you know financially and fiscally responsible. Any questions on that? Okay. And then on to some good news. We had last Friday night uh next slide please. Um last Friday night the pink panther did strike again and last Saturday night as well and it was um a good success and there was um there's a picture of that. I was able to be there because again the grandbaby was being born and in true you know you know tribute to one of our directors the grandbaby's name is Dne so you know obviously named after director D um but Pink Panther and thank you to to Trudy Sullivan and all the work she did to to

018prep for that and to all it takes all people right all all there was a curtain that didn't get hung the week before the the the thing that lifts the curtain wasn't working and our grounds crew and our maintenance department dropped everything and whatever over and hung the curtains so it could get unrinkled over the week. Like it is just kind of all hands on deck when you pull something like that off. So such a good production. Um and then huge track meet last Thursday night um at Granite Falls High School and we have such a beautiful facility. So a huge thank you to our community um for continuing to support our our schools and things. Um if you haven't come out to watch a track meet, you you need to get there. It's it's

019special and the view is is I think unmatched. Um, lots of spring sports going on and those kind of things, especially with this kind of weather, making of games and and lots of playing going on. SBA testing is here. Emily, anything on that? Besides the fact that the site was down yesterday for an extended period of time across the state, the schools have done a great job getting everything scheduled for testing. We are all compliant. We just hope that OSI can get their repairs done so that we can access all the things that we need to access in order to actually get to the test. Um, but special thanks to Don Mun who is my administrative assistant who has been burning the midnight oil to to try to get some problems solved there. So, thank

020you. And then again, reminder, we have four um positions um on the board that are up for reelection. So, get that filing in. And then the graduation events, pay some special attention to that. And um there's the schedule that Paris sent out to you. And if you have any questions on that, let me know. Okay. All right, that's all I have. Oh, okay. Thank you. Um, moving on to items from the floor. Do we have anything? Nope. Okay. Uh, item number five, a new business that, uh, FCCLA National Conference, uh, presented by Stephanie Fento. Stephanie, if you come on with that way, they can see. So, our national qualifier is not here. She's actually at state SBALA today. Okay, that's what I was asking. Yeah. So, but that we brought her project so you guys

021could see um she did a recycle redesign project and this was her final her end piece. Um and she also sent her her medal. She's pretty proud of that. But this is what she won and this is what we'll be taking to nationals. Um if you want we can move it closer if you guys want to see it. There we go. Vanna White. Yeah. So, the B the premise of her project was she's concerned about all of the waste, all of the trash. You walk around our community and you see trash everywhere. She wanted to find a way to do something positive with that. And so, this was her project. That's what she came up with. Um, and she made it to nationals. Outstanding. Um, so that's kind of where we're at. Um, the next

022slide has our schedule. Um, so this is kind of We'll actually fly out July 4th. Um, yeah, I know. I'm so sorry. That's okay. Last year I spent fourth of July last year on the road coming home from nationals. So, um but um this is kind of our our schedule. Um him will compete on the seventh. Yeah, she competes on the 7th. Um so, we'll spend the evening of the 6th getting her board reput back together, all of that. Um I don't have a lot of faith that this will make it from here to Florida in one piece. So, we're going to recreate it when we get there. Um, but nationals is it's just an awesome experience for these kids. Um, Bri will be going with us. She'll be our she's going as a chapter

023officer and as our second student. Um, and so she's going to get all kinds of opportunities to meet kids from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, um, all of that, which will be pretty awesome. Um, the next page is just who or the next slide is just who is going to be attending. Um, and then the next slide I've actually gotten our expenses down quite a bit. Um, they are now down to $4,978.37. Um, I was able to get our flights in significantly cheaper. Um, we've got a couple of layovers and we're flying overnight, but it's worth it for the we're saving about $200 doing it that way. Um, and then I was also they added another hotel to our block which was a lot cheaper. So, I was able to book us into the

024cheaper hotel. So, we're paying about $911 per room and we're getting two rooms. Um, and then they have reserved parks. um Universal, Aquatica, and Disney. They've got days where those parks are blocked off just for our SECLA kids. So, we'll be doing some of that. And then transportation, we're going to use the bus system. Um I've taken kids to Orlando before and the bus system is very well laid out. It's very easy to use. And so, that's going to be our main mode of transportation around. And we can get passes. It's 36 basically $37 for each of us for the six days that we'll be there. Um our fundraising plan, we are doing track concessions on for the both middle school meets at the high school and then the big district meet the 22nd and

02524th of May. We're also going to be selling we've made some tiger keychains. We're going to do cookies, Italian sodas, and popsicles at the trackmates as well. Um, we're doing several dinners with the Eagles Club. Um, the auxiliary has asked us to or has invited us in to do dinners. Those have been we make anywhere between $500 and $900 a dinner kind of depending on what what we cook. Um, and so we've got we did one on the 8th, we've got another one on the 29th, we've got two in May, and we have two in June. Um, we're just waiting to see what those days are going to be. The Eagles Aries gave us a $1,500 sponsorship. We've also received two what is it 2000 with Eco-AR closing down. Eco-ar decided that what they had

026in their account they were going to split between FCCLA and FBLA which is 200 and something. That was that was her. She's the one that figured that out first. Um so that also helps significantly. And then my classes are also going to look at doing some take and bake dinners. We've done enchiladas and lasagna in the past um to the district and those have gone over really well. So we're looking at doing that as well. And Mrs. Viva, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't PM design the t-shirt for FBLA state that she's at right now? Pim won the t-shirt design contest for FBLA. Very talented. She is a very very talented young lady and involved in everything. That's fantastic. So yeah, that's awesome. Do you have like a QR code or something if someone

027just wanted to give a donation I could share on like my social media and stuff? Um, we are working on that. That is not my strong suit. I was kind of waiting for Trudy to get done with the play so she could help me figure that out. Um, but yes, we do plan to get something like that together. Perfect. Yeah, if you can share that with us, that would be great. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, we will definitely do that. Okay, so Eagle Car is gonna give each FBLA and FCCLA 2,191.78. Awesome. So, you're close. You're $363,700 bucks. Yeah, we're really close. Yeah, that's awesome. Oh, yeah. So, we should be able to get there and even have a little bit left in our account when it's all said and done. At least that's our hope. Yeah.

028Thank you. Oh, thank you very much. Great. You take a picture. Let me send her out so that way she want to get a picture of it. I'm gonna let her get a picture of the front side of her bag. It's not her project. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you guys very much. Thank you. Okay. Item number 5B is the first reading to amend policy 3142, admission of non-immigrant J1 and F1 exchange students. This is our foreign exchange student. Um, and I I didn't see on the um on our board docs, is this a WASDA thing or it is copied from WASA? um it hadn't been updated since oh Paris was it 2002 I I it had been a number of years and we didn't have limits um and so I checked with all of the superintendents

029in the region to see kind of what everybody was doing and they they generally have you know some limits on how many we get no funding from the state we it's a rich cultural experience it's amazing for our kids all of those things and we get no funding from the state so if we have a lot of kids you know we're um we're expending a lot of resources in a reduction cycle And so we want to have a nice balance there. So um most um Sultan is a perfect example. They have a limit of two. Um and I think our so it's WAS's policy and we just decided let's just go with that and then we'll put a limit there and still allow for a couple of kiddos and then how we approve them um

030will come through district office as well. Okay. How does it affect any current students or would this No, it's for next year. Yeah. So, we have some exchange students right now, but this would go into effect in effect starting the 2526 school year. Okay. Yeah. Great question. Okay. Um, and so are we in discussion? I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, so just speaking of as someone who I hosted two exchange students for an entire year. Um uh and it was probably one of the most cool, enriching things that I've done just with my kids. I think even Miss Barth in the back met them and stuff like that. And it it was I still talk to them to this day and absolutely love them and and so in that I kind of got um involved

031with uh different organizations to sponsor people and um one they definit there's one of the reasons why um Granite got so many exchanges is because we didn't have a cap and I I certainly understand the balance between you know the the costs and the enrichment piece and stuff like that but um And to make it clear, I I the financial side of things and and my responsibility to be make sure that we're always, you know, keep the money in mind. This is certainly something I'm going to support, but it does make me sad because, you know, one of the things I love most about when we do graduation is those six or so kids that are usually at the end of the line where they're from all over the world and and they're getting to

032experience America and, you know, and certainly a significantly different culture than they have. So, it doesn't come with, you know, without a certain amount of sadness that I I understand the reasons why, but that we're needing to do something like this. So, there's there's my two cents. Um, I make a motion that we pass the first reading to amend policy 3142, admission of non-imagreement, non-immigrant J1 and F1 exchange students, or exchange students. I'll second. Motion has been made and seconded. All in favor? I. All right. Moving down to item number 5C, resolution number 24/25-05, reduction in educational programs. Um before we have discussion, I have a little something that um I'd like to read. This is just because it is our goal and passion to be as transparent as possible. So, um, as we prepare

033for the 2025 2026 school year, the Granite Falls School District is facing several key challenges that are impacting our staffing outlook. First, we are projecting a decline in student enrollment due to a combination of factors, ongoing decreases in birth rates, the current building moratorum within the city of Granite Falls, and the conclusion of the Lake Stevens Crossroads AL agreement. Together, these conditions contribute to a smaller anticipated student population across our schools. In addition to enrollment related impacts, we are also navigating significant financial uncertainties. At the state level, there remains considerable concern about the adequacy and stability of K12 education funding in the upcoming bienium. Federal grant funding, which has been instrumental in supporting key programs, also faces potential reductions or discontinuation. While we are hopeful that the that natural attrition will allow us to align

034staffing levels with enrollment and budget realities, we must also plan responsibly in case further reductions are necessary. In our continued effort to meet the district's 7% minimum fund balance target and ensure long-term financial health, we are recommending the following reductions for the 2025 2026 school year. up to 10 classified positions, up to 10 certified positions, up to one certifi certificated administrator position, potential reductions in classified hours and or work days as appropriate. Please be advised that due to seniority and layoff procedures outlined in our current collective bargaining agreements, the number of initial RIFF notices issued may exceed the final number of reductions implemented. However, the total number of staff reductions will not exceed the figures listed above. We remain committed to supporting our students, staff, and community throughout this process, and we will continue to

035communicate transparently as we work through these necessary adjustments. So, discussion. Um, I guess I just want to say kind of hearkening on your comments earlier, um, I I love this community. It's been the the people in this community have been the the best things for me and my family um that I've ever had the opportunity to experience. And I've lived a lot of different places. And just like you, I've lived in Granite longer than any place I've ever lived before. We moved every two or three years as a kid. And um I this community is so entrenched in, you know, every into so much of my life. It breaks my heart. And I know that this impacts real people, real people in this community that um are employed by the district that use um the

036what their paid from the district to put food on on on the their table. And um it absolutely breaks my heart that we're in a place to have to do this and um but unfortunately I I understand the financial side of things and the and the wise and that um we have to be fiscally sound. I mean, nobody is going to uh ride to Granite on the white horse with a huge check and and continuously save us. So, um I know that these numbers are big. Um but the hope is is that we don't even have to use it or and or that if it does, it's the number is much smaller than that. This is just allowing the superintendent to do up to these. Um, and I'm hopeful that, you know, maybe something does

037happen that allows us not to have to be able to move forward with this riff notification. So, um, that's what I have. No, I will I will say this is this is not I know it it we feel it the most in granite because we're in granite. This is not however unique to granite. Um, you know, I I'm a huge analogy guy and um it would be one thing if there was poor spending habits and and lack of oversight and stuff like that, but that that is I I can say as as a representative for the community as well from within my district, um like that is just not the case. When I bring up the analogy piece, it is it is having your job and being very pennywise with your money and then your

038employer says you have a 20% pay reduction and now you have to go make things work. Well, if we're at home when you have to do that, you know, cable goes, maybe going out to dinner isn't as often. maybe like choices have to be made um for the long term, right? And that that short-term comfort of keeping things in place will really harm us in the long term if we if we don't plan accordingly. Um, and again to to reiterate Director K's points, the hope is right that that not any of this would need to be in, but it's just it has to be voted on. It has to be something that there there's a process behind it. Um, and and I have all the trust in the world in the administration that that we

039have within uh within our admin office, within our buildings. Um and so this is yeah it the hard part about being on the board is what for for better or worse right all of our meetings are in public eye so you see all of the hard decisions you see all of those um and it is really hard too to see the positive when if you just observe board meetings because a lot of really tough decisions are made within these the positives though if we can realign on those. We are we are not a faltering school district. We are not we are quite the opposite. We are we are we are doing better in many areas that other districts are not. Um and again I go back to my call I I call back to my

040comments earlier about graduation right those graduation if you come to graduation if you come to success in ed nights like that is that is what we are here for and that is what we we really thrive upon and that sort of continued success is not possible without the hard decisions that have to be made. So um I'll leave it there. No, nobody I'll try not to speak for the board, but I think it's pretty safe that like nobody on this board is looking for a reduction in force just for a reduction in force, right? It is, like I said, an employer saying, "Hey, you're we're going to pay you this much less much being the federal government." Um, and you know, just the the funding from the state that comes from having, you know, potentially

041less students attending our schools. So, yeah. Um, I would uh encourage anybody that is listening on YouTube um that uh doesn't understand how our schools are funded and and has trouble grappling with the idea that we have to look forward and anticipate uh less funding in the near future. Um take the time to get a hold of our administration, talk to them about what the funding is. There were some videos put out by our former administration um which included Marshall uh describing how schools are funded. There's a lot of people in the community that don't understand the funding models for the state of Washington and the challenges that school districts face um every year uh trying to get adequate funding for our schools. Um when I started on the board, I'm in my third year

042on the board. Uh the first year uh I I can remember director Kerry concerned because our balance our fund balance was dropping um uh incredibly fast. Uh uh the special education um costs were rising um at an unanticipated rate. We couldn't we couldn't get a in front of it. Um and with this board we have gotten in front of most of it. We are trying to be fiscally responsible to the entire community. There are hard choices that we have to make every day. Um, in regards to that, I think that we have an amazing administration that is keeping the board informed and and making sure that um, we have options put out in front of us that support the school district as a whole going forward. Our goal is to provide the best education possible

043for the funding that we get and and I think that the integrity of the word stands that we are doing and unfortunately be because of that we have to make hard decisions in preparation and again along with my colleagues here I'm hoping I know hope's not a strategy but I'm hoping that we don't have to use it but We have to be prepared and and actually too I I would yeah would strongly encourage if you're if you're unaware aware of the school funding model yes definitely dive in further figure out all of that but even just like a quick cliffnotes on it as well is the district's money and this this was a huge shock for me when I came in the district's money is not like your this is not like your personal money

044you receive a paycheck, that money can go wherever you want it to, right? You get a paycheck, you can buy a car, a house, a boat, food, whatever that you want. Districts have buckets and there will be capital funds which can only go towards buildings and resources and structures. There will be the general fund which pays towards employees and and and other circumstances like that. There's a transportation fund which pays for buses and we cannot take money from a transportation fund to pay teachers. We cannot take money from the capital projects fund and pay teachers. Um and so it is it's very limiting and that was a huge eye openening experience for me honestly when I did get onto the board is realizing that money is not money. It is it is bucketed areas in

045which you are allowed to spend. Um, and so I will put that as the cliff notes, but again dive deeper if you're so interested to figure out like where is all of this going, where does it come from, how does it all work. Okay, any more discussion? Then I move that we approve resolution number 24/25-05 reduction in educational programs. We'll second. The motion has been made and seconded. All in favor? I. Okay. Moving on to item number 6A, unfinished business. There is none. Moving on to item number seven, the consent agenda. Is there any discussion? No. Okay. Uh without discussion, that means it passes with unanimous consent. And that concludes this meeting of the grant. Hold on. We are going to You want to announce the executive? Yes, we are going into an executive session.

046We'll take about a 5m minute break and then head into executive executive session at about what six say 650. Yep. And then we need to tell them what time we're going to be done and if there's going to be any action. Um how long are we thinking? I think 30 minutes. 30 minutes. Is that too much? We'll start with 30. Okay, we'll start with 30 minutes. So um at what would that be? 7:20. Yeah. Yes. 720. And there's going to be no action. Oh, and no action will be taken. Okay, so that concludes the Gren Falls Schoolboard meeting and it is 6:38. Thank you.
