“If I can just remind you that that part is not really what's changing. It's just really the changes, just whether it's our property or their property. Because right now, that is what happens.

“Okay. Thanks for that. So I'll just say that the majority of the people that I heard from before and after, and by the way, as I mentioned earlier, our two boys went to school there, and right around the time that they put the gates in, because the new part of the school had been built, was when one of our boys was leaving and the other one was just starting.
