congratulations uh by formality there is a president statement although I didn't draft anything formally I'd like to point out that there are two very important components to a board of bed uh they may be obvious to some but it took me quite a while to learn them and uh I think I'm still learning them the most obvious is the the Simplicity and the awesomeness of the fact that this is a board of nine people no one individual not the president not the vice president has control or sway over the board that is the Perfection of a board of ed in New Jersey the other side of that the maybe not so obvious side is uh it can be uncomfortable there's politicking there's decisions that are made uh not easy ones a lot of them are easy and awesome I I I'm not ashamed to say that I've left here TI eyed because I was proud of the decision that we made and on the flip side I'm not ashamed to say that I left Ty ey because of a decision I made that scared me believe it or not uh they are two important components the fact that it's a body of nine and the fact that the people up here in conjunction with the administration make some pretty big decisions uh I think it's one of the few times I can speak for the entire board when saying we take that very seriously that's it that's my statement uh by normal course I'm asking if there's any visitors business uh visitors are permitted to comment on agenda items only at this time and we just ask that you clearly state your name and your street [Music] address yeah Mr reer I would like to say something real quick uh hello uh I'm Liam
