001Good afternoon and welcome to the June 11th uh public hearing regarding the closing of uh Schuman School. Mr. Botra, thank you Mr. Moss and the members of the board as well as thanks to everyone joining us today. We are here to announce the proposed closure of Schuman Elementary School. It is a part of our broader effort to improve facility efficiency and provide better learning environments for all students. After careful analysis of building conditions, enrollment, and long-term planning, we are recommending that Schuman Elementary be closed and its students reassigned to Juliet Low Elementary School, Henderson Forme Early Childhood Center, and AB Williams Elementary School. These schools have the space to accommodate these students. Key factors behind this recommendation include facility condition, capacity and efficiency and minimize disruption. The Schuman facility will be repurposed, helping the district reduce operational costs and consolidate services. This decision reflects our commitment to better facilities and long-term sustainability, and we will support families and staff through every step of the transition. Thank you for your time and support and I will now turn it over to Mr. Moss. Thank you very much. Um, we don't have anyone here to speak today and the since this is a public hearing where we hear from the public. Um, thank you very much and I'll accept a motion to adjourn. All in favor? All right. Thank you.
