My dad and my mom. Thank you for coming. Scarlet was selected by our staff working with freshmen, and their glowing recommendations truly speak volumes about Scarlet's character. Mr. Gado shared that Scarlet not only excels in the classroom, but also highly active in extracurriculars, working with both the fall 1X and the basic client.

And then we have the students that are graduating that'll be going into the military here. I do not see Jorge or Isaac. I can kind of introduce them. Um Isaac Shane here is going to be going into the uh National Guard and he will be doing tactical maintenance and uh Jorge Perez will be going into the Army and I left my notes in the back so I don't exactly know but it's it's an impressive uh military career that he'll be pursuing through the US Army. So, thank you for that. Thank you. [Applause] Next up will be Miss Fatali with the Wisconsin Seal of Biiteracy. Hi, I'm Alan Spatali, one of the Spanish teachers here
011at Jefferson. Uh, and this since we don't have any of our recipients present, many of my students have other activities and sports and things that they're doing. Um, I'm looking at it more as an update and honoring these students. Um, first, for people who might not be aware, the seal of biiteracy is the only designation the state of Wisconsin places on a student's diploma and transcript upon graduation. The seal of bi literacy means that the student is not just bilingual but can read and write at an intermediate high level of proficiency in two or more languages. Um our two languages for this year's recipients are Spanish and English. In addition to the 12 recipients we had last year, we have eight more qualifying this year, which is extremely unusual for such a small and new
012program as we have. Um, I keep kind of monitoring how many schools the state of Wisconsin has authorized to award the seal. Right now, it's about 21, which is 5% of all the districts in Wisconsin. Um so when students take this test they have to qualify at an intermediate high level of proficiency in four skills listening speaking reading and writing. So among those recipients we have four students graduating this year whom you will see with the white honor cords on their gowns. The recipients who are graduating seniors are Emanuel Ernandes who goes by Manny, Peter Kleski, Ashley Osorio Ramirez, who actually qualified to receive the seal last year as a junior, and Quinn Run. So, if you wouldn't mind giving them in absentia a round of applause. The accomplishment is pretty big. [Applause] Thank you.
013Thank you. And then we have our youth apprentices program students. Uh we have Miss Wallace here. Excellent. Hi there. My name is Amanda Wallace. one of the school counselors at Jefferson High School and the youth apprenticeship coordinator. Youth apprenticeship is a schoolto work initiative where students are doing both classroom instruction and relevant on the job work experience. Um students take this as an elective in addition to their coursework that's required for graduation. Um and it can be either a one or a twoyear program. We have students doing both. But tonight we're honoring our seniors who have finished um the program. Um this chart kind of shows some of the responsibilities. So we are very grateful for our employers and mentors who agree to take on our apprentices who often are very um green in their
014field and don't have many skills as they're getting started and they're learning in the classroom as well as on the job. Um and our mentors have quite um uh an extensive list of of skills and competencies to make sure that our students are checking off throughout the year. Our youth apprenticeship staff um these are students or staff members who are working with our students in the classroom in those relevant elective areas. Corey Groomer teaches business, marketing, and finance. Kim Hart teaches our healthcare and education pathways. Uh Mr. Gary Olsen and Lauren Fel uh teach agriculture, plant and animal science.

The total for the month is $8,425.33. And for the year-to-ate total, we have $116,614.78. Thank you. Very thankful. Yeah. Excellent support from the community there. So, we certainly appreciate that. Next topic is going to be our first reading of the Jefferson Education for Employment Plan. Miss Greg, it's Um, this plan is a state requirement. Um, and it's not that we haven't had it. We just haven't brought it to the board. And it was brought to our attention that we need um certified in order for um it to be officially following state um laws. Uh so we wrote the plan actually thinking two years ago, maybe three um
024in development and then continually updated. So this will come to you yearly for updates just like um any other plan. It's quite lengthy in itself. Um so I put it in a memo for you. Um and I'm just going to highlight a few of the things. E for E stands for education for employment. Um so part of that is actually youth apprentichip that we offer here. Um so um if you click on the link um it will take you to uh the actual plan that's on live on our website. Um it's part of our ECP processes and currently we started in sixth grade and roll it all the way to sixth grade. It's not that they're looking into specific um careers and starting that adventure. They're just exploring and understanding their interests at that age
025level and then it goes up every year. Um so it's each of the tabs um below it in the yellow there. Um you'll see the market information in our local area. Uh you'll see um the ACP curriculum and support services. That's one that I do want to talk about because that goes through what happens at each of the grade levels. Um, so if you look through sixth through 8th grade, that's really around career exploration, identifying your interests, those types of things, identifying um how your class learnings maybe connects to possible careers that you'd be interested in. And then in 9th through 10th, um, we start actually planning what that could possibly look like, what you want to do in your junior and senior year to take classes, especially related to your electives that are going
026to align to possible career choices, um, college pathways, understanding what you would need if you want to go to a four-year college versus two-year college, um, completely into a career. Um if you remember it was um maybe two years ago as well. Part of this plan actually was your approval as a board of a portfolio that is a requirement for graduation that starts with I believe the class of 2026. um so that we started with a freshman year um so that they could build their portfolio up of what they've done all 9 10 12 and 12th grade in preparation for their um career or for their graduation and um their adventures beyond school. Um so each of these links will take you to what they do in each of those grade levels. Um the next
027part of the plan that I wanted to kindly go over is uh the family engagement piece. Um know that we do and some of you are parents and have probably participated in these um ACP planning meetings. Um but we have face-to-face parent meetings um with counselors in both 8th grade and 11th grade. And then in between the counselors connect with individual students but specific family meetings are happening at 8th and 11th. Um in we are constantly building our community partnerships. There's a link with a spreadsheet that's constantly under construction as to who we're partnering with. You saw within the youth apprenticeships um some of our partnerships that we have already developed there. But we also have people coming in and giving guest speaker being guest speakers or connecting with um our staff. I just talked
028to Kyle Fast in the math department and he brought a whole class over to I forget the company name, but it's a 3D printing company, a small one here in Jefferson and they're printing something for the Smithsonian and the kids all got to see it happening. Um, so just things like that to like peak interest and understand the different career opportunities that are out there. Um the last one that I want to bring your attention to is the individualized ACP support and access for all students. Um so know that um our special ed students uh students with IEP, our atrisisk students, non-graduate and their English learners are all have their own individualized plans that are also developed and um adapted in order to meet to their needs, their interests um in order for them to
029have successful opportunities um beyond high school. Um and so there's little drop down tabs of what we do in each of those areas. Um, I'm just going to leave it open to questions because this is a lengthy plan and it is a first reading. Um, so your opportunity to ask anything um is open. Any questions from the board at this time? Just comment. Um, just a comment. There was a lot of information on this website, so I just wanted to compliment all the team members that put this together. I I'm curious, does it need to per policy be on our website or is that an added bonus? So, interesting. We originally had it I built it on our website with the work of the counselors and Josie um and the CISA 2 guy who's in
030charge of like checking to make sure we're all following state statute like I don't think you're following all the expectations. I was like well I think it's all there and we got a little um argument about compliance and then we rebuilt it and like put out each of the buttons on it. Um, so this was a couple months ago and um, now he's like, I love the website. Can I use it as an exemplar? Everyone else has about a 20page document. If you go on everybody else's website, I did review a couple of surrounding districts. That's why I was asking if it was I didn't find it nearly what the work the visual of what our website looks like. So, so we wanted it to be something that a was appealing and b um so
031like the ACP curriculum like we're going to that and using it. It's not that is this like PDF document sitting on a shelf. The other thing that we added um which I think is really really cool is the career maps. So DPI put out these career maps. I actually brought them home and use them for my own children um because they're really cool. You can pick out of the career clusters and then it says like if you want this degree or if you want to if you want to go to school and get a master's degree, here's all the careers in healthcare that would be possible with master's degree. You click on it, it tells you all about that. Or if you want to be in healthcare, but you're going to graduate from high school
032and just get a certificate or whatever, it's like here's all the careers that could go with that and they have them for all the different clusters. and it opened up the eyes to a bunch of careers that like my own child was not even interested in. So we we're using as a house for us to then like hook into Google classroom and say oh you go here and start searching this right so it can be a living upbringing thing besides the actual scope and sequence of what we're doing 612 labor market was interesting as well so I mean I spent a fair amount of time just looking at that the community information and and all that so I just was really impressed so I just wanted to make sure I commented and thank Any other
033questions or comments from the board? Thank you very much. Nicely done. And this is a first reading. We'll take a look at this at our next meeting. Another first reading is going to be updated custodial maintenance position descriptions. Good evening. Um so, uh myself, Dr. and Mr. Graphin here just to uh bring some uh edited revised uh position descriptions for our custodial uh service staff members. Um along with some additional ones uh a further kind of clarification on our C2 role um currently that's um by Miss Riddle who is our supervisor of custodians um just in conversation with all those team members with our building principles um really through the leadership of Mr. draft and looking at adjusting just some of the model with which we deliver that that supervision but also that coordination within
034the building um and just making sure we include all those parties. And um so this recommendation is going to maintain some of those same job descriptions just as we as we look at a future transition um but also approves just uh some refinement to that C2 that custodian to uh lead daytime and custodian position. Um, Miss Graphin shared too, just uh, given the realities of what it is to be a C2 daytime lead. Um, a lot of the time they're they're uh, supporting the building in so many ways that a lot of the the I guess some of the the maintenance pieces sometimes um, just have to take a secondary nature because of their response. And so you'll notice that those pieces are edited as well to reflect the the duties of of what it
035means to be a daytime lead uh, C2. Um, so we're asking just as a first read just for your consideration, questions, feedback. Um, as we just envision kind of a uh delivery method a little bit different than what we currently offer and um again I know our administrative team has been involved in those conversations as well as well as the staff members impacted um and just what this means over time. Um so welcome any questions or feedback based off the updated job descriptions. questions from the board. Uh, as far as scope goes, how many Did I turn my I'm sorry. As far as scope goes, how many in general right currently without a new custodian 2 lead time? How many custodian ones does the district have? How many custodian twos? And do we currently have
036a ground building and grounds assistant as well? We do. So, those are our maintenance individuals that are officially titled under the job description of of buildings and grounds assistance. Um, but as far as the C2s right now, um, we have a couple different classifications. Our current general C2 role is all of our daytime people. There's one at every elementary, the middle school, and then there's currently two at the high school as well. Um, our C1s are typically our our PM people. Um, they end up being a little bit more of that. um they're coming in after school and being able to support the classrooms with leaning and all those efficiencies. Um so they they're a combination of 8 hour, 5h hour, and then also we have some rotating uh positions just to support athletic events
037and things like that. Again, primarily at the high school. Um and so there are I think I'm going to get it right here. Hopefully there's four or five hours I believe. Uh there's three rotating positions. They have three different schedules to accommodate the various events throughout the week. Um, and then I believe we have it's five or six fulltime se C one eight hour positions uh that typically are I think it's 2 to 10 if I remember correctly for their time frame. So the the primary job description here, these changes will impact our again, it's more of our daytime lead C2s at all of our buildings um that we're we're calling our lead custodians for some of that increased responsibility um and and changing responsibilities. Just clarification. Will all those C2s then currently the six
038move automatically to a new custodian 2 or would they reapply and have reooked at? Great question. know that they would just they do not need to reply or anything like that. Good clarification. It's more of a a job description. Uh I guess realignment. They're just more getting a different title to match some of the duties that they have. um taking away just a little bit of some of the maintenance elements that they don't do and just adding with the uh kind of increased with the reduction eventually of a supervisor custodian position that that supervisory element uh which wasn't present in their current C2 model. Um the the C2 position description will still maintain for for right now because the high school does have two um so you don't really have two leads there. Um, one
039of those individuals is a little bit more of a almost akin to the assistant, uh, building and grounds assistant. Um, they do a little bit more maintenance here at the high school. And so, we thought to maintain that C2 job description. So, they won't all switch from being a C2 and that'll become null and void and they all become a C2 lead. That's not going to happen. All but one that has the high school that has the two is that second person. Yep. Good question. Any other questions? Again, first reading. So, we'll come back to this at our next meeting. Thank you. Thank you. Another first reading is going to be the SDOJ student handbook for 2025 and looks like uh mostly it's just a date change on a lot of it and then just
040getting the formatting set for all three being the same. Any other questions? Were there any other comments on the handbook? Oops. I just know that there are minimal u changes. The middle school has a couple of things with regard to smart watches and a few other um things just keeping up with the times, but we were able to switch the formatting all to be the same last year. So, moving forward, hopefully when you glance at them as a parent, if you have kids in multiple schools, you'll see that the formatting is is the same, too, which was But look it over. If you have any questions, uh, please say so, ask, and then the second read asking for action will be at June 9th. Any questions at this time? I just had one question regarding
041um the bullying section on all of them. I saw that we had the um sus suso on there, but I'm just wondering if it would bear any benefit to have the stopbullying.gov located there, too, because the handbook is a resource for the students. Correct. It's just a suggestion or a thought that I had when I was going through it. So adding that like hyperlink stopping.com. Yep. Any other comments or suggestions? Again, just 26. Sorry. Oh, go ahead. 26. I'm on the middle school one. All right. Again, just another minute. First reading. So, it looks like we'll be busy June 9th. And again, first reading. This will be for uh new policy of a cell phone allowance. Dr. so you can speak on this one. Yes, happy to. Um, so this is a first reading of
042a proposed new policy. This is a policy that some districts um our size have in place. So the proposal will be brought to the board under the recruitment and retention language and our week two. Um and just a reality for um for administrators that 247 365 access is a uh an expected part of the job within reason of course um and I mentioned their server districts in our conference provide the stipen opportunity for the administrators. Uh the proposal and the language is budget neutral or even budget friendly. I've got my two phones right here. It cost Jason I love circuit. It cost Jason $60 a month for um the phone that I use, administrators use as far as the plan is concerned, and he gets cheaper free phones whenever they're updated. Uh but uh so
043this proposal then is to give a $50 per month stipen to administrators who choose that uh to um get that incent so it would be budget friendly uh switch. A lot of employers do this type of thing. The one thing that we've always wanted to make sure that we're covering ourselves with this is open records. And I've been the pilot of using a Google voice number. So, for example, um all of my um school business, I would use that Google Google voice. You can text and call on that and that would keep a records retention of any correspondence if there was ever an open record request. uh probably the superintendent's the most um likely for that to happen to uh it's just a good idea for other principles and other administrators to have that as
044well. So this is a first um as I mentioned there we'll add Google voice numbers for administrators who choose this option and if people choose to have a it's called our board policy calls it a boardowned communication device if they choose that option they certainly can choose that option because we have board policy that requires them to have access. Um, so a little bit of a choose your own adventure type thing for administrators if they like to take the $50 per month instead. Any questions or comments on this? Yeah, I guess I'm confused. I I don't understand the difference. So the the difference instead of having two phones, you just have you just keep your own personal phone and you get a stipen $50 a month to help pay for your bill, your plan for
045having that phone. um instead of the district giving you a phone and then the district paying $60 per month. Nice. But and then the one differentiation that I wanted to mention about the Google voice is having that separate line is important so you're not giving up your personal number so you're able to use that that dedicated number for that might be sensitive information. Yeah, I've actually I've actually done that for years, probably a decade at work before I work stuff through there and it works pretty good. I think this option we're a little bit behind the time so that's why we're bringing it to you now give people the option. Any other questions or comments? So for like the school phone that you have, is there mobile device management on these? Are they um is
046there security on those or how does that work? I can see them already. So we do have some of the phones we do have um MBM on them. uh not all yet. Um it's just because they're older phones. So as they up as we upgrade phones, we've been adding that. Um it is a little bit of a pain. Um it is addition um Android phones are free. We've got the software. Um iPhones is an additional five $5 a uh a year um to do. So for those who choose to use their own phone, how do you manage those phones or do you not? We don't um the goal is it's just Google voice app on the device um and then every all the calling everything would be done through there you know you do need
047to have a data you can't to make sure it works so so my only concern is with personal devices and there's nothing wrong with bringing your own device but it's like do we have 2FA as a standard mandatory for email and stuff like that my my issue is crossing line a compromise on a personal device and all of a sudden now you're emailing ing those kinds of things on like your work. You know what I'm saying? Like y so so Google is everything Google is MFA. Okay. So even if you on a personal device you want to log in with Google voice you got to log in using your school email account which would then be MFA. Okay. So there is MFA you know to get the device up and running you know then it's
048it's set for but it's just is it just an email MFA? It's not like authenticate or anything like that. Um but we're using the text message authenticator app. Um are the the two options with text messaging probably going away within the next year. Okay. Any other comments, questions, concerns? All right. Again, that'll be June 9th. Next up is going to be our review process for the final evaluation and superintendent for the 202425 school year. And Dr. uh you can see the note there and the link. Is that link live yet? Right. Um so you have between now and June 13th to complete that please. And then we'll go over the results. So this is the final. If you remember back in December we did the midyear. So we'll go over the V the results close
049session on June 23rd June 23rd questions on that. All right, finance and operations topics. We have a lease agreement for the sore classroom. This one is an action item or an annual action item. Mr. Vant, you going to discuss this one? Yes. Um, so this begins the uh renewal of many contracts and leases over the next few meetings. So, um, I'll feel free to ask me questions, but I'll be as concise as possible. Uh, this one is just an updated, uh, lease agreement for our Soore location for alternative school, uh, alternative alternative space, I should say. Um, and so the the functional changes really are shifting from a three-year just to a yeartoyear. Um, the price increase just reflects the realities of the market. Also, um, they were able to provide some utility data that
050we share with the building as well. really just sharing the cost. Um, so all things considered, very minimal changes. Um, but we just talked, Miss Nissan and I uh talked with uh Sherry Merlin and uh just had a conversation just about our current realities as we continue to face uh just differing uh student needs, right? What does that look like and how maybe is adaptable and we think this is a good solution for us and for them. So recommending your approval for that site starting July 1 through next June 30 and continuing your job. Any questions from the board? Does Does soore meet does Soar meet during the summer months using this location or are we just paying rent? No, we still pay rent for it though. Okay. So, we're paying rent even though it's
051not being used for is that June, July, and August? July and August. Just a um I guess I wasn't clear when I first read this. So, this is just a really a change from a three to a one-year contract. Same location. Same location. And how long have we been in this location? I think the current lease, I think, was the preliminary. This this is year three. This is year this is year three. But yes, I believe that was the first uh cycle through where we occupied that space. Okay. So, we're coming to determine that. Something said that. So, what's the reason behind why we're moving from year to year instead of just doing it three year? I think it just as we've kind of discussed it too just with the different like program needs more
052and so for for students is if um there's years where all of a sudden we're seeing changing demographic and we decide to change our service delivery. It gives us the flexibility to change that. Is there anything built in on how much notice we have to give if we aren't going to do that? Yeah, I'd have to look back at the terms that I didn't see it but I just wondered [Music] That's a good question actually. I'm just wondering if we if if we needed to change in December our role our service model, let's just say. Sure. Um are we then still paying for the entire year? There's no not so no sign of notice that we have to give we have to pay the whole year if we're to vote on this contract. Correct. Any
053other questions? Is there a motion to approve the 202526 lease agreement between the school district Jefferson and Merlin Lane is presented. Motion in a second. Any further discussion on this? All in favor of the motion say I. I. I. Any oppose say nay. The motion passes. Thank you. And then next up is going to be our 2025 26 articles of court with the Ford Atkinson Community Theater. Yeah. Yep. I'll take that again here. So, uh ran into Miss Reichoff and she's working along with Mr. Clarks and the other high school team members just on coordinating this. Uh they are very excited to bring uh in cooperation with Finnorf for some of the finishing touches in the theater, the Sound of Music. I believe it is July 18th. Uh so this is just a again a
054renewal of something we've taken annually. Um just off the request last year we made the accommodation to span it to the end of July just in conversation with our staff and also um I think it's Mr. Wilson the president of the fact um they had shared that that August 1 to July 31st tends to work better for them just based off their show schedule. So um instead of reverting back to July 1 to June 30 just recommending that we maintain that cycle for this coming year. Any questions from the board? Is there a motion to approve the 202526 article of court with the Fort Atinson Community Theater is presented? Second. There's a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Otherwise, all in favor of the motion say I. I. Any oppose say nay. And that
055one passes. Next up is going to be our 202526 youth tackle football agreement schedule of usage coordinating with Mr. Mailing and uh Mr. Peterson uh bringing back again the football dates for 2025 season. So again there signed first party is from any questions or comments from the board on this one. Is there a motion to approve the 202526 youth tackle football agreement and usage schedule is presented. Second with a motion and a second. Any further discussion? All in favor of the motion say I. I. Any oppose say nay. And that one passes. Next up is going to be the agreement between the school district and kids space learning center for the 2025 summer program. All right. These two all kind of tackle together, but obviously I know you'll need to take independent action. Uh so
056working with Mr. Co. uh Miss Wendy and also our our JMS team. Um one of the the kind of the nuances I guess of the summer agreement is just with our earlier back to school for certified staff on the the 20th and the 21st. Um the team just worked out together that they could still provide continuity through that August 22nd date. Both willing to be flexible as we're still determining our back to school in service. um they typically just occupy that in the middle I guess typically now is not not the right because I know eventually they'd like to move back to west one day but uh using the cafeteria uh occasionally the library and I don't think too much classroom space so both parties are going to be flexible to be able to carry
057that through that 22nd date um so both of those um again in conjunction working with them just based off of our CPI increase 2.95% uh for your consideration questions, comments, concerns from the board. Just one quick one. Uh on the agreement for number one, it still says 2024 summer like right above where it's already highlighted and changed on the summer. Okay, it says just uh for summer day here during the 2024 summer updated. Thank you. Valer with that one. Thank you. Any other comments? Is there a motion to approve the 2025 kids learning center summer program agreement is presented with the one correction? So move. Second motion in a second. Any further discussion? All in favor say I. I. Any oppose say nay. That one passes. Sort of the same topic. We have a uh
058202526 kids based learning center K4 wraparound after school daycare program agreement. Any questions or comment from the board on this one? Is there a motion to approve the 202526 kids based learning center K4 wraparound after school daycare program agreement is presented. So move second. Any further discussion? All in favor of the motion say I. I. Any oppose say nay. And with that, thank you. Thank you. Go to future agenda topics. Does anybody have any suggestions for that? I just had one. Um I I think it was like six somewhere between six and eight weeks ago. The NA NIH came out with some changes. And the only reason why I'm bringing it up is I did overhear some parents talking about it. Um, so I just wanted to see if we could get maybe Mark or
059somebody in here that could give us some insight on that mostly with the and I I don't quite understand it myself, but it sounds like sponsorship. Is that the right word? So is it NIL naming? Yes, NIL. So I'd be happy to give an update on that. I can throw it in my report. You just probably got something. I got it today here from the WD talking about NIL. Wisconsin was a little late to the game name image lightning, but it will change things in the future. Um, I just the reason why I'm asking is I don't have a good understanding of it and some of the talk on the outside wasn't all that positive. So, I just kind of wanted to It's doing great things for college football. It's a little uncharted territory. I
060I did ask my husband who was an athlete in high school like would I can't even tell you what I'd be happy to give a rundown of the on my That would be great. Thank you. Mr. Peterson also added a section to our website. If you go to the high school athletics page, there's a page directly on NIHL now and it links to WIA information as well. Any other future agenda topics? All right. Uh, board president, superintendent announcements. Um, my only announcement is someone remember your sunscreen. [Music] Dr. uh have a couple good and loud ones. Uh, you can click on see community connections. So kudos to our communications department Schmidt for putting together community connections. And it's based on a couple of things. Number one, just just being really happy that the east roof
061is now complete. And then also u I shared a um email with you last time from Jill Seno uh saying the chimney steps are going really well. Um so that's one good thing for East. Another good thing for East is I shared a parent kudos with you and uh she just had a lot of good things to say about a lot of people at East highlighting the office, highlighting Mr. Wickman. Uh so I wanted to share that with you. Uh and we we're we're sharing that with all the individuals named in there as well. There's and there's a lot of people to be appreciative for in our district, but I really appreciate it when a parent takes the step to reach out to me and say that their child is having a good experience in
062school. So, thank you to Sarah Giles uh for that note, passing that on. And then last but not least, I did share the executive summary for East. Um we have the debt date to have East ready for staff to come back on August 20th when they return. So, it'll be a great relief for them, everything works out correctly, that they'll be in their classrooms to be ready for the 25 26 school year. So, thank you to all the people that are uh doing that hard work now and going to do that hard work this summer to make that goal a reality. Excellent. And with that, is there a motion to convene into close session pursuant to Wisconsin statutes 19.85 credits 1, C, E, and F to discuss the support staff salary, personnel issue, and approval
063of the 202526 crisis plan? It's a move. Second. Got a motion in a second. May we have a roll call vote? Mr. Condan? Yes. Mrs. Fox? Yes. Mr. Eagle? Yes. Mrs. Mc Williams? Yes. Mr. Noling? Yes. Mr. Pelier? Yes. Mrs. Swankton? Yes. All right. With that, we are in close session. Thank you everyone for coming out
