001All right. Call the September county board meeting, school board meeting to order. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden once said, "Leaders are interesting are interested in finding the best way rather than having their own way." And even though I love to listen to Elvis Presley sing I did it my way, when it comes to leadership, we all look for the best way. Let's all stand. >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, liberty, justice for all. All right. Next on the agenda, we have um recognitions. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'm super excited for uh our all three of our res uh recognitions this evening. So, uh let's let's do it this way. Uh Miss Haynes,
002will you come up, please? And Dr. Butler, will you assist me at the podium? I'm calling a little bit of an audible on them. Not Not really. I want you guys to participate in this. All right. And now I would like for Miss Anita Gaines and Mr. Kevin Terry to please come to the podium. >> Good evening. It's my privilege to introduce our 2025 assistant principal of the year. An assistant principal's impact is often often behind the scenes, but their leadership is essential in shaping a positive school culture, supporting teachers, and ensuring that every child has an opportunity. Kevin is a leader who's gone above and beyond in building relationships with staff, students, and works hard to improve the school's behavior team, as well as provide strategies and support to teachers. Please join me in
003congratulating Kevin Terry, our CCPS assistant principal of the year. [Applause] And then it's also my privilege and honor to introduce our 2025 principal of the year. The role of the principal, you know, is more than managing the school. And uh Mrs. Gaines has done an amazing job in fostering academic excellence, innovation, and a strong sense of community. Anita has done this gracefully through her vision, her dedication, her hard work, and commitment to her students and her staff. And Mrs. Gaines has not only improved student achievement, she's also inspired our students and our staff to reach their fullest potential. So, please join me in also celebrating and congratulating Principal Gaines, our CCPS principal of the year. Thank you so much, guys. Grab a seat and we're going to get some pictures in just a moment. Dr.
004Butler, if you would stand right there. At this time, I would also like to ask Principal Jones, would you come forward, sir? Christopher Lusk, would you come forward, sir? Go right ahead, sir. Good evening. Uh, it is an honor to be standing before you tonight with Mr. Jones uh and his team. As you know, it has been a banner year at Ringo High School. This past school year, the students and staff have accomplished so much. For example, the graduation rate was 96%, the highest in school history. Dual enrollment increased 18%. And they maintained their five-star climate rating. And this rating is determined by data from the Georgia school climate surveys taken by students, parents, and personnel along with quantitative data like student attendance and discipline records. Five stars is the highest number of stars a
005school can earn. In addition to these outstanding academic achievements, there were several outstanding extracurricular achievements as well. There was a state championship in one act, a final four appearance in volleyball, a region championship in competition cheerleading, three state championship wrestlers, and many other sports teams and programs competing at the state level. However, the one I might be most proud of them is the one we are here to recognize this evening, and that is the Ready Georgia Seal of Preparedness. This seal was created by the Department of Education and GEMA to recognize individual school efforts to safeguard their children, faculty, and staff. Individual schools receiving the seal of preparedness have met specific criteria that include emergency operations planning, drills and exercises, training, security interventions to include a behavioral threat assessment management team, safety technology, and data
006analysis. Under the guidance of Mr. Jones and his safety management team, RHS was the only school in Katusa County and one of only 134 schools throughout the great state of Georgia to receive this prestigious award. We are very proud of their outstanding commitment to the safety and well-being of their students and staff. Go Tigers. So, in this folder right here, we have a certificate of recognition. It is the seal along with a letter from Justin Hill, our deputy superintendent, uh recognizing Ringo High School for this outstanding award. So, congratulations to Mr. Jones and his team at Ringo High. [Applause] >> Thank you, sir. I may need some help to get through this one tonight. Uh Mr. Chairman, with your permission, uh I know that uh there was a press release uh that was sent out
007about an hour ago and uh Dr. Dr. Butler has been my incredible family friend and uh my true uh right hand and I'm so proud of her and I know she is going to do amazing things uh in Okone County. uh we are going to suffer tremendous loss with her, but that's what happens when you have good people. And uh if there's anybody that deserves to to be a superintendent, she is one of them uh for sure. And she's going to be an incredible person in that school system for kids because she has the right heart. And uh in a time when superintendents all across the state of Georgia are having some tough times, uh I'm super honored and proud to know that we have one of our own that has uh heard the call
008and is going to do an incredible job for us. And uh I'm just so proud of her. And I wanted to say that to you as a board because she's one of us. She is our family and uh we hatched her and she's incredible. And uh Dr. I'm not going to ask you to say anything if you can't, but if you would like to say something to the board, I I would certainly ask your permission to allow that, Mr. Chairman. Thank you. >> I just want to say I appreciate um thank you for this, too. These are kind words and unexpected, but um thank you for the opportunity to serve here so many years. Katusa County will always be my home and my family. And I just appreciate um everything that you've done for me.
009The people I've met I will carry with me forever wherever I go. So, thank you. [Applause] It is a loss for us for sure for extremely proud of you. for you and your family you're going to do which will be great things I'm sure thank you for your service and to the other folks who are recognized thank you for your hard work what you do for our kids every day really what it's all about >> I told Dr. I said they would be stupid not to take you and I figured out they're not stupid It'll be bittersweet. And congratulations to everyone um on your achievements. I'm I'm proud to be a part of this and I'm proud to be part of you guys. So, thank you. >> Well, I I think I told you in
010my text that I was actually terrified for you to go interview and so sort of knew what would happen. But you are meant for great things. And so we're so very proud of you. Everyone here, all your accomplishments, everyone works so hard every day and very we're very proud of what's been demonstrated here tonight with the system of Katusa County. Congratulations, Miss Gains, Mr. Terry Jones. so proud of what you guys have done and and and how that you represent not just your school but our county uh with with all the accomplishments and things that you you've been able to to accomplish. And Melissa, we love you. We're going to miss you and but we only hope the best for you down there. And we know that you're going to be successful. Well, can you
011believe I'm gonna say something? Uh, you know, I love you so much and I love your family. We're going to miss you so much. But I do have one at Georgia, so I'm gonna come by and see you when I'm down there. Love you. Yeah. And congratulations to Terry and Anita. I'm really proud of you. And Anita, I'm really proud of you because I've known you for a long time and you've really contributed a lot on that side of the county and we really appreciate you. Mr. Chairman, if we could u take a quick pause and grab a picture. Thank you. If you didn't want to stay and listen to our riveting meeting, you make that. All right. Next on the agenda is item D public participation. Has anybody signed up in advance? Sign up
012at the door. We're going to approve the agenda. We've had it. Agenda is approved. Moving on. Item information reports next. >> Mr. Chairman, the human resources recommendations are on the agenda for your review and approval. services. >> Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, it is attached for your review. education training. >> Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, uh the uh training plan is on the uh agenda for you and it does include the hours necessary for the exemplary board of 12 hours. No sir, Mr. Chairman, no east blast bids. Uh we do have an east blast update for director Lusk. Good evening once again. Uh while there are no major uh eastlos projects to update you all on the east uh project committee has been no less busy. I wanted to highlight a few of the projects uh that
013have been approved by the committee. Battlefield Primary, Battlefield Elementary, and Tiger Creek uh have all received or will receive intercom upgrades. Um this will drastically improve communication between the office and rooms for everyday needs as well as during safety drills. Uh RTC is a fantastic partner for us. Uh they along with our uh own IT department under the leadership of director Purcell do a phenomenal job working together to complete these projects in both a timely and fiscally responsible manner. Uh outdoor speakers, okay, have been installed at Heritage High, LMS, Ringled High, and Ringold Middle. Uh this addition makes communication much more efficient and safer for those in the parking lot and surrounding areas on the campuses during announcements and safety drills. HMS and LFO already had uh exterior speakers, so now all of those secondary
014uh schools have those now. Uh LED signs out front uh have been or will be installed, replaced at Heritage Middle, Ringold High, Ringold Middle, and Wood Station Elementary. Schools are very excited about these approvals. Uh these signs are all located in extremely hightraic areas on each campus and provide a great deal of information for their student, staff, and families. Uh of course, a new sign is planned for Boon Elementary under phase two of the project. Uh there have been several HVAC units uh replaced slashinstalled at uh child nutrition, Gravesville Elementary, Ringo High School, and Ringle Middle. Uh I'll be turning in a request tomorrow for additional units for Cloud Springs and Heritage High. And with some of our buildings beginning to age along with extreme temperatures, East Blast has uh been a tremendous help uh
015when it comes to this specific and important need. And then finally, uh there have been several fence uh and concrete uh projects uh at the um academy at the Barnhard Academy, at Battlefield Primary, at Battlefield Elementary, at Grazeville Elementary, Heritage High, Lake View for North Thorp High, and Ringold High. Each of these projects have improved the overall safety of the design uh designated uh portion of each campus and future projects are slated for Cloud Springs and Lake View Middle School. I know you guys know this, but I think it's worth mentioning uh again that Eastlos allows us to finance these projects, easing the burden on the local maintenance budget and therefore on the local uh property owners. I truly appreciate the hard work and commitment of every member of our East Bloss committee and their
016dedication to uh our students and our staff. So that's this month's update and I'll be back next month for another update. Any questions? Okay. Appreciate you guys. Thank you. >> Thank you, Director Lusk. You such an incredible job with that and I just appreciate you and uh for sharing that with us. policy. Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman. So, state board rule 160-4-9 requires school systems to update uh the policy IBB and uh basically what this does is it uh provides anyone wanting to start a charter school in our area to provide us with a letter of intent. It sets the timelines for that uh and when the board will review and uh vote on that petition. And uh the last thing it does is request or rather require that that timeline be posted uh to the
017district's main website. And uh that is uh on the agenda for your review and later approval. Elementary. >> Good evening. It is a pleasure to be able to stand and share the update on our uh west side with our addition a HSI uh additional targeted support and improvement um that was identified two years ago. This is our third year and I wanted to share some information. Uh we were provided an ATSI budget. This budget was had specific guidelines that we needed to uh follow by the state and it was planning for this year. We worked with the state with their team uh and we decided on what we needed to do. Uh we chose to have ESOL endorsement of seven teachers. We also have additional training for Orton Gillingham reading morphology to support our reading
018literacy. six attended our federal programs conference this summer where we planned for the school year. Uh there was a stop for those teachers as well as a lesson picks were provided for visuals for our EL learners and we were identified specifically for EL but they've asked us to also address our students with disability because those were also low when we were identified as a ATSI school. Um, so also we are working with Benchmark Advance for our new literacy uh curriculum and we've asked them to come in for sessions and coaching to support our EL students. This was our team that went this summer and it was such a pleasure. We were able to uh be able to share all of our story and everything that's been going on at Westside. One of the things that
019we're really really proud of is at Westside our milestone scores. If you look from 23 to 24 uh school year um and then compare it to 2425 this past year, you'll see that there were gains in all of our areas. We were so excited as well as in looking in our cohort groups. Uh they grew from 2024 um to testing in 2025. This is our ELA. This is our math as well. we increased and went up from last year to this year's scores for our milestones in math. And then another thing that we were really excited that focused on our e was our access student growth percentages. Um, and you want them to decrease. And as you can see looking at the blue, we wanted them um to be lower. Uh, we had high growth,
020typical growth and low growth. In 2024, they only had 7.4 for their students with high growth, but we were excited that we raised those scores to 31.6. We also decreased their students with low growth in 2024 from 67.7% to 39.5% in 2025. So, we were very pleased with that and we know it's going to be even better this year. And then with our district goals for Westside, these are the two goals that we have. Um, we've continued these. This will be our third year and hopefully we will be able to uh say at the end of the year we are out of being an identified school and so our district plan of support is continuing those engagement strategies with our e learners to raise our percentage from 5% to 15 on the Georgia milestones as
021well as our second focus even though we weren't identified in SWD we also are working with our special education teachers and co-eing model in ELA to improve the academ ademic performance from 11% to 25% by May 2026. And the next steps we have for our targeted assistance uh support and improvement team, we're participating in a state training that's coming up in two weeks that uh they have a new EL observation tool on how they'll evaluate Westside this year. Um and then we have our instructional awareness walk that's happening September the 22nd where the state team is coming in to evaluate the teachers and the students. And so we're thrilled and as you can see, uh, Principal Gaines definitely deserved her principal of the year and it's just been a fabulous opportunity to work with that
022school. Um, and so proud of all their teachers and their students and their staff. >> If you could hold right there, I want to also brag on Miss Haynes. uh she started doing working on this about three years ago and I remember the first day that she walked into that school and it was a tremendous lift and you have done an incredible job leading that and I I I want to thank you personally for doing that. You've done an incredible job and the data speaks for itself and the award speaks for itself. So congratulations to you as well, Miss Haynes. That was incredible and I appreciate your part in that. >> I appreciate that. We're looking forward to another fantastic year. Lots of hard work on Lake View Middle. All right. Thank you for this
023opportunity to share the focused action plan for Lake View Middle School for the 2526 school year. As many of you know, LMS was recently designated as a school that is eligible for the Georgia Promise Act Scholarship. This designation is based on CCRPI scores from 2022 23 and 242 23 24 school years and identifies schools that fall within the bottom 25% of all public schools statewide. But remember that alternative and non-traditional schools are removed from that formula. Because Katusa County did not operate an alternative school during the qualifying years, all of our students in the alternative program were included in the accountability formula for our six secondary schools. And this will change with the in introduction of Barnhart Academy for the 2526 school year. While we understand the implications of this designation, we are also firmly
024committed to using it as a catalyst for growth. So our I've asked Mr. Colbert to come as we go over the action plan steps because we have three definite um defined action steps for this school year and he's already done a phenomenal job of doing work with those action steps and I want him to share um the boots on the ground knowledge um as we go over each step. So over the past few months school and district leadership have worked collaboratively to create a focused and intentional plan for school improvement at Lake View Middle School. The plan centers around three major goals. We structure these goals around our district level commitments which include the focus on the four critical questions. What do we want our students to learn? How will we know if they've learned
025it? What will we do when they haven't learned it? And what will we do when they already know it? And then we also structured them around our district um PLC collaboration outcomes. So these are commitments that we've made at every school in our district to be tight about to be on the same page about and they're non-negotiables for our district. So all of our goals were structured around those things. All right. Goal number one. Our first priority is strengthening our professional learning communities. Each instructional team will operate under a clearly defined agenda that is submitted in advance and aligned to student achievement goals. Weekly PLC's will be closely monitored by school leaders and real-time coaching will be embedded into these meetings to provide immediate support and feedback. This intentional structure ensures that our instructional teams
026are not just meeting but doing so with purpose, data, and a focus on results. Mr. Culbert's going to share how that's going. >> Yeah. Thank you for this opportunity to present in front of you and and share our progress. Uh I want to first state that thank you to Superintendent Nicks to Assistant Superintendent Butler and our our board for giving us the opportunity. On Wednesday afternoons, we do an a early dismissal and our PLC teams meet during that time and and it's been an an extra time for our teachers to really um innovate the way that they are instructing in the classroom, innovate the increase the rigor that they are providing to our students within the classroom. And so it's been a game changer when I speak to um leaders at at other districts or
027in other parts of the state um that they're always interested to hear about the early dismissal and that ability to truly embed PLC into our day and and allow that for our teachers. So thank you for for providing that to them. Um the other outcome that that allows us to have is it does increase our student achie our student engagement. We have a very structured process for uh our students. they they must be passing all of their classes um as well as turning in a parent permission form. And so um students are very motivated to perform with that early dismissal. They they want to go home a little bit early um on those Wednesdays. And so they are very much motivated to to earn that reward. And so um kind of an unintended consequence from
028from those early dismissals. Um our PLC teams are working very very hard um in you know throughout the day. Uh we have agendas that are posted every Monday to to our academic coach and shared with our administration. Our administration goes in. We have a schedule um for every Wednesday that we are meeting with our PLC teams. Um that's our three administrators as well as our academic coach, our student support specialist um as well as district leaders who come and and visit um our school as well during that PLC time. Um we we also are bringing our PLC teams in uh bi-weekly. So, our academic coach, we call it our academic support team, our academic coach, uh academic assistant principal, and our school uh school support specialist. Um they they're meeting with our PLC teams every
029Tuesday and Thursday, and they'll meet with one subject area per day. Um so, for example, social studies may meet on Wednesday and and each grade level will come in and meet with that academic support team every Wednesday um to to increase and and go over questions and and just make sure that the uh rigor is where it needs to be. So the second action goal that we have for this this year at LMS is to u maximize the impact of extended learning time or ELT that's built into the schedule. We will implement a purposeful data-driven ELT schedule to provide targeted targeted academic support. Students will group based on current performance data and each session will have a clearly defined objective. instructional coaches and administrators will monitor implementation closely to ensure fidelity and to adjust supports
030based on student progress. So, this is not something that's new to our district or new to our school. Um, we have been implementing the the ELT periods through our schedule for the last couple of years, but the one big change that we wanted to make sure that we made for this upcoming year was the purposeful and data driven that we are very intentional about the moves that we are making. We're very intentional about how we are scheduling students and providing the the correct supports for those students um and making sure that it is monitored that that uh what we are providing to those students is being done and being done with fidelity. So we we set forth expectations for what we call our win time what what I need time um and and we consider
031that tier three instruction. That's the instruction that they are giving given below grade level to fill gaps that may have been created over the course of time. And so we we laid forth those expectations to our teachers um during inservice and on the first day of school we explained the expectations to our students. Uh our students do receive a grade for that um for that class and so they they know that there's motivation in that regard and our teachers one thing that we were very um adamant about is that it's not just supervision of program use but actually active supervision and that teachers are monitoring the the work as it's being done not just after it's uh proposably been completed. So teachers are up moving around. They're assisting students um during during that time. We
032also were very um purposeful in how we scheduled our students. So we looked at milestone data from last year as well as uh benchmark data from last spring and we scheduled students who were who needed the most support um in math and ELA. We scheduled those students with our math and ELA teachers. And so we were very purposeful in how we were scheduling students to make up those gaps um when we were able to identify them based on data. The other piece of our schedule that uh we look at is our tier 2 time u what we call e the ELT period um extended learning time. So what we consider uh tier 2 is grade level material that students have uh are lacking um when they have not when teachers are able to identify that
033they are missing um components within their their grade level that they've uh not performed on assessments uh common informative assessments within the classroom. our teachers will quote unquote draft those students during our our seventh period of the day and they have lessons that are designed or that they are designing to remediate and and and retach those uh concepts to those students during the seventh period. U those lessons are being shared with our academic support team uh and being monitored throughout the day as well. And then our third goal focuses on um just a rigorous and engaging tier one instruction because we know if we're not providing that level of rigor and high expectation in our tier one instruction as well as making it actively um engaging for students then everything else we do isn't isn't
034really going to matter as much. So here's what we're doing with that. I'm super excited about the progress we are seeing. >> Absolutely. Thank you Dr. Butler. So tier we we do believe that tier one instruction is the the most critical. Um we we do want to make sure that our level of rigor is where it needs to be so that our students are well prepared for uh college and career. So um one thing that I mentioned is that our teachers are meeting with our academic support team on a a regular basis. They're coming in during their planning periods at least bi-weekly if not more often uh to meet with them. um our lessons are being shared through unit plans so that we they're being um looked at by all teachers within the building that
035I'm sorry by all teachers within that content area and being shared um in that regard. But we also have 22 of our teachers that are signed up right now to receive Kagan training. And so if you're unfamiliar with the Kagan strategies, um as one principal in our district has says, that's the most gamechanging training that um she she has experienced for her teachers. And so um 22 of our teachers are currently signed up for the the Kagen day one and day two training and u that we're hosting within our district. And at this point after after that point all of our teachers will have received at least day one training um at LMS. Um in 2024 we also conducted a full faculty training for capturing kids heart strategies. And so, uh, the teachers that were
036with us during that time, they received training, um, in capturing kids hearts, which taught things such as, um, simp simply greeting at the door, but also social contracts, um, how to communicate with students and how to, uh, run a well-managed classroom. Um, our reading 2.0 strategies, we are teaching to, uh, various teachers on an as needed basis. For example, our eighth grade science teachers um mentioned here within the last two weeks just to the start of the school year that um they're doing a lot of, you know, in-depth reading in eighth grade science. And so they did close reads and implemented some reading 2.0 strategies that they said were made a huge difference. It's something that that they've never seen before. So, uh implementing brand new strategies into our science classrooms as well, not just
037in our ELA. Uh we also at the end of last year we we took a a visit to Dalton schools uh Dalton city schools um observed some of their math classrooms. Our teachers observed those math classrooms and came back and and and started to really uh revamp the way that they wanted to teach. And so uh they they are implementing this year what's called 360 classrooms. They they post whiteboards around the room and it's more of a vertical learning strategy. Um, and they're also really uh diving into and leaning on the uh inspire lessons that are provided by the Georgia DOE and and using utilizing the tasks that are there to really increase the rigor. They're they're still bringing it back in and making it their own and make and adapting it to what our
038students need, but they're they're really upping the rigor in our math classrooms as well. Um, and then as with any good plan, we know that anything that is expected is inspected. And so, um, one thing part of our plan was that we are going to monitor as administration. We're going to be in the classroom. We want to see what's going on. Uh, it's not just being dictated. It's it's it's being monitored as well. So, uh, we we do what's called lows and grows. And we're in the classrooms and just doing five minute observations with our teachers. So, this is beyond what we do in our TESS observations. And, um, so far this this school year, we're averaging about eight glows and grows in addition to the TE's observations, um, for this school year. And so,
039uh, you have an example of of what we're looking for. We're looking for engaging strategies, student engagements, the classroom environment, things that we can praise with our teachers, uh, but also points to ponder, things to think about, and it's creating conversations, uh, among between our administration, our our our support staff, um, and our teachers. >> I just want to end by saying I'm incredibly proud of the staff at LMS and Mr. Culver's leadership. I see incredible things happening every day and I'm confident that the systems and the structures they're putting into place will see results and we know that results don't happen overnight. So, excellence is really just getting a little bit better every day and that's what I see from them. So, does the board have any questions? >> Thank you. Mr. Chairman, the
040East Plus 7 resolution is attached to the agenda for your review and later approval. Are we making a commitment to bonds million? Are we making that commitment? >> That's up to 49, but what are we thinking? I anticipate it'll be similar to previous around around the 40 42 mark. Yes, ma'am. >> You feel comfortable with the 99? >> In what sense? >> That we won't collect more than 99. >> I I do. Um I with our average collections as they are now, if we if if even if they increase slightly, we would still not reach that cap unless it was something drastic like they doubled again how they did in the last 10 years or so. Apologize. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, the resolution uh for the line of credit is on the agenda for the
041board review and later approval. Yes sir. Good evening board. So for July 2025, as I kind of talked about in the last meeting, um you know, we are under the modified acral accounting method. So things are kind of still in flux still at for this meeting. Uh me and my team should have everything closed out for last fiscal year by the end of this week. Um, so and that's the point in time when we'll have our final fund balance for last year and the starting fund balance for this year. Um, and obviously in July there's not been there wasn't a ton of activity because we were still ramping up into this school year. But for July 2025 for the general fund uh year-to date actual revenues were 1,375,349 uh and total expenses were 2,356609. Um,
042one note, one thing I wanted to note was that looking comparison to last July to this July, our revenue was higher this this July than it was last July and our expenses were lower. So, it's a good mix typically uh looking month-to-month basis. Now for the capital project funds July 31 2025 total assets 8,88346 uh for that fund balance of 8 million 808346 as well on the statement of revenues expenditures and changes in fund balance total revenues and other sources 1,467894 total expenditures and other uses 1,785 for that fund balance of 8,88346 six. And then on our debt service funds, you'll see something odd. Um, but this was planned. Um, on our balance sheet, we've got nothing to report right now. Um, since we are utilizing any overcolctions in the current year for capital project
043needs as they come. Um, and we made our principal and interest payment in July for this year. uh for the current bond issue uh the account is currently at zero and we will collect uh you know in the coming months to make the next payment uh in next August. So um nothing to report on the balance sheet but on the statement of revenues expenditures and changes in fund balance total revenues and other sources 1,431892 and then total expenditures and other uses 10,50430 which contained our principal and interest payment in July. Any questions? >> I think it's important to recogize um that our our tax anticipation note is for $1 million less than this time last year. >> Yes, ma'am. >> Progress. >> It's progress. And >> that's hard work. That's progress. >> Yes, ma'am. And
044I you know, the plan, it being a line of credit in nature. Um the plan is to to draw down and utilize as little as possible. So, we have to pay as little as interest as possible. It's what I did last year. That's what I'll do this year. Um, and hopefully it's it's even below that $7 million amount that we actually have to utilize. >> That's correct. >> Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman. Yes, sir. Mr. Chairman, I do recommend the board approve action item H1, the July financial report. H2, the July East BLAST report. H3, the human resources recommendations. H4, the minutes from our East Bloss 7 community engagement meeting and board meeting, and H5, the field trip requests. Next. Mr. Mr. Chairman, I recommend the board approve action item H6 of new policy IBB referring
