“Any questions or comments? I'll just echo your sentiments, Board Member Rojas, and thanking our legal department for all the great work that you guys do There's a lot of changes going on in this district. I was talking to the superintendent. We're constantly having to re-look at a lot of our policies, and you guys have done an incredible job in assisting us through that process, so thank you so much. Our next one is G3.”

“Yep. No, I agree, and great point, Board Member Blanco. You know, giving that flexibility, I think it's important, and the word must takes that away. So if we can reward that to obviously reinvest it in where we feel deemed necessary at that moment, I think would be important. Because we know that once we put policy in place, then it makes it a lot harder to make those changes and for staff to be able to use it appropriately. So thank you.”

“Just before we switch over to presenters, I wanted to open up to the board. And first of all, thank you for that great presentation, for all the data you gave us, and ask if there was any questions on the current slides before you shift to the next presenter from the board members.”

“Any other further questions or comments? I wanted to just comment on a couple things. I wanted to congratulate you on the advertising. I have seen the buses and been parked next to some of them at a traffic light and seen the advertising looking for mechanics. My question was going to be, though, we're also looking for students to come to our schools. What type of opportunities, and maybe the superintendent can speak to it, being that he's already advocated for the ability to market on buses, do we have an opportunity to market our schools or even our district website on these buses to be…”

“Okay, thank you. And then my second to last question was around when we're talking about the operational cost analysis and the current two mile. We know that a lot of families, most of the time when they're having that issue of under the two miles, right, they're going to private buses and paying for their children to be transported. Do we as a district have the opportunity to do a transportation service that families would pay for to be able to be transporting and using our buses?”

“but we also want to attract students to come to our schools, so there's a cost benefit to that as well, where we have buses that might be driving through a block that is half empty, and if we can now pick up a few students on the way there. Just throwing it out there for something for us to explore, and I just wanted to kind of lay it out there, see if it was first of all legally possible for us to use our buses that way, and for something to, think through in our enterprise team on can we use this as an opportunity. My last question, speaking of our fleet, I'm happy to see that we have so…”
