Wonderful. Okay. All right. Thank you so much. Appreciate it.
I would ask, I'm sorry, Vice President Wilkes, if you could look to see if trustees are available earlier than 7? Assuming we don't need a closed session, that may make it easier. I like that idea. And, you know, why not welcome some comments from the community regarding what they think we may add to it? Again, I would highlight there is an article in Studies, and we've all received the article because we've received the Leaderboard magazine, but there is evidence that highly effective school boards affect student achievement. Yep. So that's a goal I think the board should aim for.
Later. started a letter and there's a PDF. Will we get that PDF? Okay, I'm sorry. Under the community feedback, we have a list of those who provided community feedback. The last person, it looks like she submitted a PDF. I couldn't, it didn't link for me. So, Mrs., if you could send that to us under a different email, I'd appreciate it. I just didn't want her comments to go unrecognized. Thank you so much.
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
And again, you're very successful at it, team. I so appreciate hearing more and more. As Vice President Wilkes mentioned, the fee waivers are very important. No child is left out. Again, taking the safety town on the road just illustrates, again, we're always thinking of new ways to provide our children with greater access to things. So, again, I just wanted to say thank you. I love the pictures of the kids, as always, and keep up the good work.
I just wanted to say thank you, team. I know it's been a rough time, but you all have been diligent in the work, and I know it's been trying circumstances, but we're here. So, again, we can all smile, take a breath for a minute, and then we know you have to go back to work in the spring on this, but your work never ends anyway. So, again, wanted to say thank you for bringing this forward.
Again, want to highlight the community conversations and say thank you to Trustee Schmidt's leadership on those. I know in the past when we've had them in previous years, they were not as intense with the follow-up. She took a lot of care to get the contact information of anybody who was interested and sent out the relevant information as it follows up. Again, these conversations are not to defend ourselves in any way, but to explain, to address concerns, as well as to hear from our constituents. I do look forward to participating in future ones, but folks don't have to wait. As President…
