And if you look around, I think you'll see a lot of friendly faces, both for and both concerned. And I wanna make sure that we all understand a couple of things.

And then we will share thoughts. And then I will go through this fairly large stack of blue cards, call on everybody who's on here, and you'll all get your chance. But I'm gonna ask you a couple things.…”

“Thank you, Trustee Santamaria. Anybody else on the board here that wants to weigh in briefly? I will share just a couple of really brief thoughts. For 65 years, the school has been there.

Please, as you're speaking, pay attention to the little numbers up there. We're gonna try and get through…”
