this briefly because it's the last week of school and our graduations begin tomorrow so we are very excited and um celebratory of our students that have worked so hard and so looking forward to seeing you all at graduations and I also want to mention because we have Memorial Day on Monday we are very grateful for our military families that have have had the um ultimate sacrif to our country to protect our freedom so thank you to all of them and including all of our employees families that have been impacted thank you thank you Dr g board member Campbell Dr Garett couldn't have said it better I'll pass but say ditto to what she said and I Echo the same um the only little housekeeping item I had was um this is in regards to the special board meetings that we have just for expulsions and just as we all know they're not televised so uh something that I think that we need to be careful of is having board comments after those uh after those non-televised uh situations have been concluded um because there's really no way for the public to participate and so I just kind of wanted to make that clear and make sure we had full consensus on that that we won't be seeing those on the scripts at all moving forward we just won't have comment um after those non-televised but they are special board meetings but because they're off air are we good with that good okay all right good deal all right there being no further business to discuss may I have a motion to adjourn motion to adjourn all right all those in favor uh motion by board member Cummings second by board member Campbell all those in favor say I I I motion passes 5- Z I think this probably wins the award for being the shortest board meeting we've ever had we are adjourned at 9:09 a.m. thank you [Music]
