have all photos now okay HML I went back and what I had was like their pre-made Flyers okay so you have we have pictures for everybody like high quality good pictures yeah we're good for pictures okay so you're missing I just need bullet points but this is like walk me through it you need a paragraph about the school bullet points I want bullet points the highlights of each program or like programs they have what are you trying to sell each them yeah and and you only have that from gold yes can I interrupt for one moment um this is being streamed right yes because I have someone who's texting me that they can't see it is it let me I was going to double check it now let me see okay yeah I see it here okay do you know where they're watching from have them go through YouTube YouTube always have them okay [Music] thank so we only have so at this point it just sounds like I mean we've already dropped it with the photos we have and with the info from bar um so do you need bullet points from every school no no no no what I'm saying is that nobody is sent it in that's why I'm just um send an email to interal so let me um I don't know what emails I sent them to be honest with you right now but I'll double check if anything I am going to ask you guys to help push if you know any of your contacts that's kind of how we got how I got gold I I I immediately emailed my principal and I emailed the lady that was in charge of the magnet program that's in charge of the magnet program and I got on both of them to make sure they did I have conversations and emails and followup only because with inter governmental it we were contacting it in general I let di okay she's the one that took over it yeah okay because there's someone there called tabi okay you have tab is is let is I let's boss tab is the it's like saying like maybe play so do you I I will reach out you want me to reach out sir or you but yes um and I'll send the email um just yeah just you know I think that most of the schools may have some of that information also on their websites you know as far asies and stuff um we can from there yeah I think we can always take it from them and as I mentioned I know HML kind of has pretty much that in a fer but this is kind of giving the schools an opportunity see what they because the schools have so much it's really more like what they want to highlight but I guess if if we're at a time crunch like that's where I'll get you I'll get you HML Miami Lakes K A Center and I have a contact at Miami Lakes Educational as well oh if you want my I can have my sister she works I'll have her so that we we have it on the website so I don't think it'll be anything different um and yeah I guess at this point we'll have it ready for when we start when they start the new school year okay well okay moving on to um futured leader scholarships do we have any yeah so um if you guys saw my last Emil there was a correction because I originally had sent out five but it 3 four um I have the here you guys need to review them again um yeah you guys just have to go on it and then I did want to mention while we were on the subject that um Andrea did vote you know she wanted to mention that her vot work for applications one and two so these are from the okay her votes are one and two I guess so has everybody taken a chance to take the look at we take like 10 minutes now for everyone to look at absolutely I don't remember them by numbers or anything I don't remember my numbers but I just I remember I just remember yeah's [Music] here um you said Andrea said number one and two yeah that [Music] was [Music] I and then four number four yeah and then number number three number one is number two is do we have the applications I just wanted to see something before I that decision be taking a vot or Jessica if you want I can do it for you guys it's pretty easy with the paper and then I'll you guys cop this do you want to see we have to revote yeah I'll check it if you guys want to move on as I'm doing it that gives you uh senior vanners I know you had said that uh we had a large there's a high demand this year so there's 50 that have been sold W and I have five uh parents on standby so standby it was only a limit yeah limit of PS because we share that with the Veterans as well so we just have to make sure that we have enough space to on the also stay on I thought they would come off and I thought when my daughter was in high school I thought it was like something okay I think they go up at the same time but the veterans stay on a little longer so that's a good that's out to all my son your friends that live here so and I'll let you guys know um but yeah those five parents are all standby and we're going to let them know by end the week we're going to try our best to accommodate them see if maybe there's an area we [Music] can last year I think we had to scramble for for some over to get the budget to started and that we had to raise two years um moving on to e awards of EX nominations so I have copies of those as well you need them I I didn't were there you said there was extras so um I wanted to share something before we get there a couple of things so I went through the applications we received a total of eight correct something like that a total of eight I remember a lot of the ones left um were left un nominated I had three teachers who reached out to me after the deadline and they sent me their nominations so I brought them in case it's up to the committee if you want to consider them these are all um nominees that have currently nobody um so to me I said you know I'll take him and I'll take him to the committee um so you all can decide whether to accept them or not in my opinion it's kind of like a a no-brainer in the sense that you know they did submit it late but we don't have anybody else there nobody there so I'll make a motion to approve the nominations that uh marit has brought like consider to consider them I brought them I redacted them I'm not as good as Aid I like redact them with a marker but and then I have an unredacted copy for a later soorry you guys vote on this yes um so I had already prepared voting sheets so you guys are just GNA have to figure but these are these are like like I said nothing nobody else has come in you write them in but either way like I said these are like nobody else's okay right will original so let's go through the original and then we'll go through the ones that these that aren't on anyway I will say that I will say this is the award of I will say that one of the girls who was nominated for the Fine Arts award in 12th grade the teacher later um later felt that she you have one so one of the girls that's nominated for Fine Arts this is the voting thing correct corre and this is the I only made so you have it's fine you can what I did want to say was that one of the girls that's nominated for Fine Arts under 12th grade is also another teacher nominated her on this one for Community hero so the Fine Arts has two people so if anything maybe just pick the one that well I chose the one that's one I chose right right right so and this is an HML one so that way we don't get the same girl twice we don't have names right right right I'm just saying so we so that yeah no so for Fine Arts but for Fine Arts it wasn't so for Fine Arts since one of the girls is being nominated for it's okay we'll send it down that way so I'm voting for number one number one cuz number two the girl is being nominated for another one's the only one yes so we write in the these in the [Music] back oh [Music] no I guess I guess English and literature that person by for theart well for I will say that's that's really up to you guys that's kind of why I put none next because I know I don't know if it's you guys are another committee that sometimes has felt that just because there's something doesn't mean that that was us because I was a one liner yes I remember the traumatic one but we we we required 100 word minimum this year yeah now now everyone they were enough um okay so how do I know which one want to and for one and two for finals right so the one I brought is an HML girl which is being nominated for something else the same one so I would just put you get what I'm saying put number one you need a they have a copy oh here it is number one number one is okay so that is the one I did put a number one here but I was we just and then educator would take a vote because there was yeah but there's no they only these only have one nomination each right so we have on this list we have a 12th grade Community hero yeah I have it here 12th grade Community eightth grade Community hero so let me just circle it but the motion you guys made was to accept those foundations as last not as winners well their winners there's only one because there's only one that's what they're I think you have to take a vote that's what she's saying she gave the we're going to vote for them on our paper so you Circle and you advocacy eth grade no no no it's eth grade local advocacy and then 12th grade Community hero okay and you got two there there's two grade eth grade Community hero and 8th grade advocacy and e8th grade English wait wait wait hold on let's do it again grade 12age advocacy gr one two let's Circle these advocacy andth grade English grade English English and literature okay two three four there's four 12th grade there's one 12th grade and 3ade here there okay so for e8th grade English how are we going to vote for this do we write it in in our paper just circle circle at the bottom you know the on yeah I see the ones in red just because by default they're way yeah they're so you just circle them okay which I think next year we should tweak the way that they get nominated maybe not leave it open maybe have every school nominate a certain amount of kids for each category yes mandatory yes cuz every school has these it's that I feel like nobody knows about them outside Community they don't do it and just it get I'm gonna be honest I happen to have heard about this because I'm on the board but what I'm saying is I don't think every teacher say so if it's pushed out with the principal saying you need to nominate a kid it'll get nominated so I think next year we need to go school by schol make this is not enough money right exactly so I think it needs to be sent to the schools next year and not of should be through inter governmental or like one making sure that princip that way we'll get more and we can actually so for future leaders the winners are at looking two and four two and four yeah can you pass those scholarships back whenever you have a chance this Y which one yeah I'm going to pass it back so the two winners apps two and four number two was and four was ban okay we turn these in yeah yes I'll show no you did the senior already nobody spoke yeah senior we got 50 we have five more try see we did I'm sorry student member hold on we'll go back to C student members so I and I booked it day for the next student leadership meeting it's going to be before our next EAB meeting in May so if any of you guys want to come in a little earlier that day and what um so that meeting just so you guys know um it's May 23rd because of the federal holiday well I can't be here that wait May 23rd is a th yes because there's a feral holid oh yeah I'm not going to be able to be here because I have my son fa at Mass [Music] graduation so so yeah that's my update so I scheduled that with I um just to keep everything on one day so I think E is at 6 p.m. so the student meeting is going to be at 4:30 yes so feel if anybody wants to join us and that'll be a good way to close off um and then we'll make sure you know we'll follow through and at the main meeting hopefully you all select next year's student rep so I can work with whoever that is um you know and in that transition process um moving moving we vote on that on May 23rd me it's up to you I would assume yes right I think we have a posted deadline of some of time in May for your meetings U but we me we on that date thir yeah by then is okay so that's why oh yeah it was number seven seven U moving on to Old business so we have a couple things for the awards that we have to go over um Alo what are we sponsors at oh wait any

3400 sponsor dollars confir v400 $3,400 sponsor um sponsor dollars confirmed and then possible either 200 or 500 extra coming in from that all right guys we kind of skipped we did not not complete the award of Excell nominations um voting we didn't do the teachers the educators of paper oh man I didn't because oh because I have to on your paper here sorry there you go yes so then I need that with names and everything I need to put on the awards because and so far where are we at on expenses and sponsorship the headquarter Toyota come through yes so the 3,400 I just mentioned is your headquarter Toyota here I'll read them okay so you have $3,400 that's what you have to spend no you have more because you guys have a budget that's we have have anything event we have events yeah $1,000 okay but sponsor money goes first right so so you have 200 from meritz 200 from NHC construction 500 from G Logistics 2 Toyota 500 L Solutions and then epic is going to come in at an extra 200 or an extra 500 that aging so either 3600 or 39 and then we're missing we what have we not calculated in our expenses like know we have the B guys 1500 we already did the yeah okay so you have 1500 for the correct and what else we have the I don't know how much what you get from Amazon the like utensils and stuff like that cor right we still need to order the center pieces we have the here I'm gonna read out what you've sent to me so far 1500 for the B $320 on Amazon which include the plastic pups napkins plastic plates The pre-rolled Cutlery and the round table cloth maybe we already received that $350 for the videographer wait the tablecloths are Pap I mean no you bought them so we can keep them CU last year we rented remember okay but they're nice St yeah yeah they're material uh 350 for videographer a th000 for balloonland the balloon we have to discuss that now yeah did you already get the balloon first no we have to discuss it we have the P um she did you toint that no don't and what are you guys doing the whole Arch the entire AR so she's quoting me I think that we don't need to spend the whole thousand to be hon we still have some of the I'll show you okay so we still have these center pieces right all we need to buy is purchase is the uh the 2024 okay so you where are those 're in boxes they're in boxes oh okay yeah so we need just need to the 2024 Park you could have got that on Amazon correct correct did you get them no we can still order them okay we have to I'll send that to but we have to find I have to see what budget what was it 350 it was 3 oh the video video and then I found for that um the DJ is still going to be donating the DJ's Dona he's going to donate yeah see a pack of 12 8.99 so for for for 17 bucks yeah and then the could do the balloon okay I'm G to show you something this is what she quoted us for the B she put it, including no that's 20 325 for the center pieces and the six something for the um for the arch she's doing balloon center pieces no I asked her just to see what it would come out to but it's it's not worth it so how much is just the arch how much did you say you guys are discussing that I did speak to um the chef over at our school he's already committed to a few other things and does not have time unfortunately to be able to um to work the the event stud it's just yeah it's again we go back to the testing and we go they just you know here I have it here so the breakdown of the ,000 is 650 for the Garland um that's placed around the backdrop and 350 for the balloon basket Center PES $60000 so 650 and it's the complete Arch half an arch what is it a picture of it she says she's because you need to be very very careful when they're doing because you know like graduation it was like just like this and there's like the entire Arch and there's like yeah here back have a backdrop no I know they're expensive because I know that just halfen it was 400 and then we have to also consider that our backdrop doesn't have um is this the person that did it last year no the person that did it last year is no longer doing no but they are charging arm and and leg it okay so when you say Arch is it Arch is the whole thing correct because we sent her like a rainbow an arch is the entire exactly yeah that costs a lot and is she gonna do it just like that okay yeah yeah that that's going to cost oh that's what we did last $600 no no no it does I just did half for have I mean do we have that in how much do we have available picture a minute let me picture just out of curiosity do we have to do an arch can we do like two or something the problem is I don't know what that top is going to look like so the problem is this top here probably like an ugly pull yeah yeah it's an ugly pull because this this thing that we the canopy is really heavy we have to uh maybe rent the uh um The Stand from uh from the vendor that did it last year okay don't rent the stand my sister has that stand one the yeah it's black and it stretches out but this one's really this was too I mean just to have this uh backdrop is really heavy yeah she got on Amazon that's what I'm saying on Amazon you TI the standand and you can even get you know a really nice up for much if we could get something that's just decoration for the balloon KN for to cover it I'm all nothing to cover the top there because you got just send me that picture so I can send it to the so I can get rest we have 4,400 now we need other estimates send it to me the picture so I'm going to send it to her right now can you send me those pictures so I can see I know a couple B AR kind so we can get a couple a couple of estim that's kind of I'm telling you it's very expensive no because it's become trendy yeah now it's become TR super expensive I do them all the time for my my students do them but they do them little balloons big balloons this Tye a little more okay so other than that um I we have the did we the order for Publix that's in the budget again right that's included in there the Public's the food yes so you you guys told me to order the same thing as last year yeah um I can't order it because it has to be a certain days right and that total comes out to so we could just see how much we're at you're because we have less applicants this year too right yeah so that means that we have to see how much the awards are G be we're gonna have less people yeah so I might call the the food guid instead of saying because we have a budget for 150 go down to just 100 or so now okay how many did we have last year 130 okay 130 people that's what and a 10 11 12 12 we have 14 because ytf is also so we want that yeah about that so ytf voted on us me and Miss are both on youth activities they're giving out one award called the Mami dates um youth leadership award which is to one of the volunteers that helps out all of their events like the Easter event the Halloween event so there's this one girl who who was selecting it and they wanted misson I to to ask the EAB if you guys are okay with that one girl one girl and two three people three people for their food I was like actually I was coming out of my budget you know y all the same taxpayer L at the end of the day but if if we have you know but we don't share budgets that's true you have a bigger budget for them yeah man way bigger bring it we can bring it back to present it that award presenting Awards anyway it' be great if you could at least cover the meal you know if you could at least cover the meal how about the a you guys covering the award yeah we're getting the award we presented so it's just the presentation corre cover 14 do we need to vote on that I will no I mean yeah just so that you guys are in agreement uh you want I'll make a motion to accept the Y TF Award of Miami Lakes what is it so it's only going to be you two that are going to be there it's not like the entire YT right right no no just no because I'm on on Jessica's then everybody each one we let them bring two right for each and then the sponsors as well remember they get see and you guys not hosted the retiring teachers that you guys wanted um last year you guys collaborated with the mayor's office so that's something to keep in mind as well there anybody I know we have one retiring in our school but we're still wai don't even you I know the region send an email out today and see if we can get I know the region met with the principles and asked them about the retirees but it's like I spoke to my principal he said that you know the region told all the principles to get the Liz but that nobody's f the yeah because the retirees and this and that so yeah sometimes they don't announce until later on like the last Mo moment or yeah because if they find out where're Goods out some students May believe it or not get upset and then it's testing time so you know you want to keep everything as you know generic and as normal as possible proclamations did we do awards for them I know the proclamations are done by Josh but we don't do any no we don't so I mean we can still a lot of we need we need for the food and the tables you like the chairs and everything and I will say um so for this this this set up here that's 1,000 bucks $1,000 for this and back but no yeah that doesn't include the backr yeah just but we own that back we own the back

office I'll follow so we'll add it to the next agenda as well um award already gone yeah but no that's the parent and child enrichment program oh they yeah no no no no okay moving on to do business U the B gr Educational Center safety school safety and school Trust so after the uh given situations at Bob Graham um I've done some research as we may say uh I do know our limitations are are limited but again I go back to what our statement for the town is and it is to assess the uh the conditions uh the demand and the availability of the schools um my major concern with this is [Music] um just the overall U safety right for the children within the schools not just while around with all the schools right um how do we give them a voice and how do we give the parents a a no not a notion but a a reassurance that our kids are safe within our schools of Miami and that they are being um taken seriously when when certain things are brought to your attention um again I know that our our we're limited to what we could do but again if we could learn from the situation and prevent it and you know that that's the goal um I just wouldn't want to stay quiet with something that I feel strongly that um some of these kids weren't weren't taken seriously or weren't heard or perhaps even parents weren't heard or the situation perhaps more than it handled the way it should again I I don't know the details um but just as far as PR goes you know for for our schools we sit on the education Advisory Board you know it looks bad on the town it does it does look bad on on our on our small town that we have and and the great schools that we do have um I would love to you know hear your thoughts on it how you feel uh again my concern has always been the the the safety of the children and the fact that um how can how can you feel safe if you go to a faculty or an Administration and your voice isn't her all right I'm GNA interject because we're making assumptions I'm gonna wait for him to finish again like I like I said like I said I don't have all the details and I might be wrong we need to be careful as a town committee that we not Express Personal opinions on how it was handled because we were not privy to what has happened I cannot vouch for the parents for the girls nor for administration as to what the accounts of that particular situation you know was I I don't know that so to really go out there and make that kind of statement really does put our committee in a difficult position I I am not going to sit here and assume or just you know this is where the investigative process takes place we need to hear both sides and then that process has to take place now what do we do as a committee we hold hold back and we wait I'm a teacher she's a teacher Mota is a teacher okay we know what those Protocols are we know that if there's something that happens we report it now that being said parents I I I don't think that I need to tell a parent if you think your child is in danger to call 911 or to call someone um we are our best ADV we are as parents the best advocates for our children and if they're are concerns right and let's say just for hypothetical situations because I have seen people fight more for discounts for things or for you know field trips than for anything else okay um if your child is in danger and hypothetically think saying Administration is not receptive there's nothing that proc cludes you from going elsewhere we all know that we live in the world of social media and you can blow this up as big as you want you can have the media out on the sidewalk you know but you can obviously escalate it um especially if you feel that your child's we welfare is at stake or anyone else's right nothing precludes you from that there's a parent student handbook um I know for us okay even as us as teachers it doesn't matter who it is if we see something by law have to report it we have to report it we could lose our licenses okay we could go to jail for not reporting the possibility of something occurring so I I'm just you know I'm cautioning us we don't have to take a position the law enforcement agencies we need to give them time to conduct their investigation and then you know Time Will Reveal what has happened um if in fact there were any Communications and and if not and I you know I think I speak for the three of us we know that if you know something Hasen happen or there have been any lapses there they will be addressed but we have to give time for that investigative process to move forward we cannot jump the gun so if if I and and I and I thank you for your your your knowledge because you do you do work for the system and that's where where where I see that there's a disconnect perhaps with the the public um and I understand that there has to be an investigation done and and there has to be certain protocols for the children and so on and so forth but again um my and it's just my opinion um as as members of the ab and as the town um uh the the the council members didn't know of it or the town wasn't aware of it how do you how do you handle something um I know that we don't have an oversight over the schools we don't have uh any jurisdiction over schools but again the schools do have um we do give schools money we do give you know some kind of money that comes from from you know the public we we do supplement some classes so in some way of another don't you think that um we do deserve the courtesy the town not us you know the town deserves the courtesy and saying well this is the situations that are occurring uh we are handling it just in the sense PR right but obviously remember they cannot speak unless they're told that they can speak so everything is controlled by the region by the superintendent so if they are not told give a statement to the town they're not going to give it until everything's done if they're not told do this they're not going to do it until you know and anybody I guess you can find out if there was a public investigation on this certain individual you can find out he's been investigated before you can find out what happened with that for um everybody gets a background check everybody's cleared you can't work at a school without a background check now in questions that be as someone is not doing what they're supposed to do then there's nothing you can control until the situation happens and fortunately and then that's what happens so if so you you really can't control what's going on in the school until it's brought to your attention because if it's done H if it's done behind you know where there's no cameras unless somebody speaks out nobody's going to know because that individual does not have a background and they don't have a you they're we have let's say this case is over in a month or two right whatever will we will the public have if requested I would think so I me of that investigation any the guess police just to understand because I'm kind of confused and I don't know maybe I feel like everyone else is too what is your action I like what are you hoping to get out of this item on the agenda what is the mo that what is what is it that you're trying to to do well if if in anything I would love to not love I mean let me take that back how can we learn from this in sense how can we provide the schools and and I with any kind of knowledge of uh of you know sexual predators um Tendencies or the the the signs that were perhaps available that that could be given to to Administration anything that we could provide to the schools to local schools for this to perhaps not happen again there's nothing because we already get that we have videos we have um workshops yearly trainings we have trainings that are mandatory that everyone takes on what's appropriate what's it not it's a video on how not to text how not to be friends how not to be on Instagram how not to be on social media how not to be alone with a child how not to it is done everybody has to sign it everybody has to do it it's yearly and it's said over and over at every faculty meeting yeah so it's like you tell a child don't do this don't do this don't do this don't do this you can only hope they're going to follow your rules so yes the re the the school board has you know trainings in place that we take every year and multiple times just like the children have you know a oversight you know they need to be uh there's consequences to there's oversight to the teachers and thecult course and there's jail time for us we lose are licenses we if we fail to report any type of abuse whether it comes from a parent or a staff member okay we have to we have the abuse hotline we have to call it in whether we know if it's true or not so if any child comes to me I've had children that have come to me and say this is happening in my house or this is happening and I have to iMed I've had to report it that's by law we have to do that whether it's we don't know if it's true or not that's our our job our job is just to report D DCF at that point will decide whether or not they have enough probable cause to go out and investigate that is now a County DCF Law Enforcement issue that has nothing to do with Miami Dave County public I know where Mario's coming from he's like how do we prevent these people from being in the schools with the kids in the first agree but my whole my whole thing is and I understand I understand your point of you can't go on on here say you can't go off what the social media says but when you see several comments that's you know you you can't assume they say you say several comments saying the same thing of it was brought up it was brought up um where did this where did where did we go wrong on but did do you not know that social media will turn absolutely absolutely so everybody's gonna pick you up exactly I heard I did I agree with you completely on up but again so PL devils Advocate if they had all that and they reported it it should be on file somewhere because they should have written it somewhere so they might be lying that they reported things because if they were reported somebody was investigated then there obviously was not enough information there was because there's tons of people there's tons of teachers and administrators getting investigated daily daily And if every single one of them would be put in jail without proper investigation without proper you know uh uh through process process then it would be I mean there's tons so they have to go through their process you know um who knows that this individual was already investigated when those came up and nothing was nothing came up there several questions that that I have investigative process but you have to let that process go you're not going to get an immedate result and to go to Jessica's point I can say and I'm just going to use some of the things I the person makes me creepy well I can say well by the way you know full disclosure not this is true I can say You Make Me Feel creepy is that enough at that point to Warrant your removal there has to be something that backs it up now like you said okay all these people claim right that they have said things okay I can assure you that these individuals are going to be spoken to it's not just going to go okay it's on social media okay you spoke to you you you said this who did you talk to what happened but this is part of the investigative process that none of us have anything to do with and it is going to take a while and look at murder trials they take years you know and we don't have proof I mean we're taking what people are saying like she said on social media for Face Value the same way you know we don't know we weren't sitting in the office of the administration nor were we with these individuals so that's why you have to take that neutral kind of stance until the investigative process I just look at it conducted as in a business perspective you do have to do your PR work and if you don't it harms your product they did they arrested him they did arrest him but there wasn't no public comment there was no investigation there was a public you you was absolutely no Bob Graham did not they cannot that's what I but wasn't connected that was releas yes the connected came out and then the region the board they all came out with statements she's not going to come out with a statement to the public I mean she did like she said to a connect dead I don't know what else I mean she's not going to have a press conference she can the board and the region gave their statement as much as they know but as much as much as you say they have to protect the minors I will told by by an individual when name they they told they they brought down the students that and to tell them the invidual had committed suicide so how are you protecting the students then because here's the problem and they are offered mental health you know why because it starts to spread through social media then you get one kid that tells the other kid hey did you hear what happened you're going to have to bring those kids down and you're going to have to address it and I'm sure okay that there was probably conversations with parents again I'm not there correct correct I'm not there so I I can't say what happens but I can guarantee you that Mental Health Services are going to be offered to those students because they have they have an extra staff that is at the school if I my motion is to facilitate Bob Graham with whatever needs they might need to help them um with the students or with faculty to prevent this from ever happening or from learning from this situation I I don't get it I don't get it either what what are we doing you need something specific yeah what are we doing what are the again I can't tell specific because I can't I can't get until the schools decides what because can't go why're jum the gun you can't we can't do anything they already have grief counselors because the reing get that and they provide that um the children have the counselors there which they the teachers have the grief counselors the teachers were provided time if they needed time um I there's nothing else you can do you they do background checks so there's nothing we can't give them extra background check um I don't know I mean besides mental health evaluation which you need to get a doctor for that and you're not going to do that to every single person on your staff have to wait and I understand as a parent a frustration and we all wish it hadn't happened or but there's our hands are tied you know and this is more for people above us as far as police take the police like all that those people have they give footage if they have footage they give um you know the town knows that we support the and what we're doing and this conversation's being you know people are listening they know that we're concerned but there's nothing we can do about it it's like this happens when you have an abusive relationship and the person threatens that they're going to do something the police can't do anything until they follow through with that threat so unfortunately that's we have to wait and see what comes out EX exactly well you know un will something come out they continue investigating then they have to show proof it's a police investigating it's no longer in the hands of the SCH and it's not an opinion matter it's a fact matter because you're you know you're dealing let's say you know we know what happened he is no longer here but that being said if you know that were not the case you have to let the investigative process go through and Justice be served we are opinions really don't matter they at this point they have to handle it if after the fact after the fact something comes to light okay then it can be addressed then but at this at this juncture we can't okay we don't even know what evidence they have we don't know know anything it's on the police's hands because whatever they had they had to hand it over the school police went to arrest him handed him over to Miami day that's it like now they're dealing with it okay I mean I'm sure maybe you can if you as a parent want to contact the school police and ask what information they have that they can disclose to you mi da also because they're the ones that are handling I'm sure from now you know they they transferred over so now Metro is doing it you can call them as a parent insur and ask and say look I'm a concerned parent blah blah blah um I want to know how this investigation is going what's going on because they're the ones with all the information because I know that everything was handed over corre and now they're the ones that a criminal face yeah I think even though he's gone they still are no it's not going to stop they're going to obviously follow through to see but they have to have time to talk to people over and over to get those just don't want to resp to dep it's not you call them call them and find out how it's because you can call the detectives that on the case and ask them how's it going and follow up until you get an answer if they can because they make it's just too soon yeah it's just too soon you got to give them time to work it out thank you thank you again appreciate moving on to announcements any announcements um hold on I want to mention that we have yeah so I have all the winners I'll send it to you guys but for educator um there's a tie between one and two so you guys can between one I know
