Good morning once again, and welcome to the August 17, 2026 School Board Workshop. As I stated earlier, I believe there's an echo. We'll pause for a moment. Testing, all right, that's better. As I stated earlier, the echo's still there. Testing, testing, all right, let's see if it works this time. As I stated earlier, I gave it 10 additional minutes to see if any of my colleagues arrived for the workshop. At this time it is 10 11 a.m. and the only board member present at this time is myself. So therefore I will like to address that This meeting was supposed to take place today for a workshop t

thank you and I would be happy to take a vote at any point in time if I have another colleague I will make a motion to allow board member Santos to participate if I do have another colleague of mine present for the required number to be able to proceed accordingly. So I'm going to have to ask Board Member Santos as Chief of Staff or a member of her team if they would like to follow up with a presentation. Mr. General Counsel, sir, is there anything else you would like to say?

Okay, well then, there's the response, so therefore, at this time, and it is right now, 10.16 a.m., the workshop that had been originally scheduled for today is now canceled, and as advised by my colleague, Board Member Santos, she is preferring to bring another board item to the actual board meeting, and proceed accordingly based on the outcome of that item for an additional workshop to take place in the future. Thank you, everyone, and have a wonderful day. Thank you.
