 get us started, if that's if that works. So welcome, everyone. I'm going to call us to order at 603. And this is the annual reorganization meeting. Thank you for bumping it up a couple of days so that we could do our business. This is the meeting that I call to order. And the first order of business is I'm going to ask for nominations for chair. Ursula, I'd like to nominate floor DS Smith for chair. Second. Thank you, Ursula and Joshua. Are there any other nominations? Can we hear a speech? Floor. Do you want to hear me talk more? You have the floor. I would be honored to continue to be your chair. I take it really seriously and I see myself more as an aspiring leader, you know, that serves you and I'm trying always my best to lead you the best I can and make sure that that, you know, we are all moving towards what's best for all kids and trying to make sure that, you know, we're all, the wellbeing of you guys is as important to me as the wellbeing of the system and trying to support our superintendent to learn our leaders and I love this district. I love the kids and I'll be honored to serve for another year if you will have me. While we're on the record, I would just like to say that floor your work with the Vermont School Board Association is amazing and your work at the legislature is amazing and your guidance, both how we get through meetings, how we get through tough subjects and your work with the administration is really exemplary, so thank you for wanting to do the chair again. Thank you. Okay, any other discussion? Natasha, we have a nomination on the floor to elect floor as the chair, just so okay. Seeing no hands, all those in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Any opposed? Okay, we do not need to do a roll call since there are no opposed and floor congratulations I will turn it over to you. Thank you everybody. I'm honored and thankful and we have a lot to get through but I'm excited for another year and we'll get through this physical time and come out stronger so we have a lot to cover today and we're just going to jump right into it. I know that we hadn't scheduled public comments today. We have a couple of people here but we're going to wait until the end if that's okay with people unless I just saw that Ellen fell off the call. So let's go. I would hear favoring from people beforehand because it's such an unusual time for us in terms of having a failed budget, which will take up a lot of our time into your public comments before we move on to other reorganizational aspects. I think I'd be happy to hear that. Okay, so are there any members of the public, please raise your hand that want to speak right now that have joined the meeting to make a public comment. Seeing no hands up unless I'm missing something Megan do you see any and I don't see anybody. No, I think we can continue. I think they're mostly observers. I think the only person that might have been dropped. So that's it will continue with our business for right now so the that's the second part of this is to continue to elect our officers. So I'm looking for a nomination for vice chair. So can I raise another point of order here. It has to do with the steering committee. And I know that certain officers are members of the steering committee as well. And the we're supposed to have, I think, representation from all the towns. Without any one being overwaded. And I think when we ended up last year, middle sets was overwaded in representation because of the officers. If I'm wrong about that, then I apologize, but I thought there was an overweight in middle sex representation on the steering committee. And is there a way we could address that if it was act if that's accurate. So would it be okay to address that when we talk about the steering committee because there's ways to either expand the steering committee and let the officers be the officers that the board would want to appoint. Does that make sense. It would provide. I just I'm worried about about the balance and however we achieve it is fine. So. Okay, we'll make sure to balance it and then move into. Nominating a vice chair or Megan, go ahead. Well, this just might help get through the officers. I don't think it's the officers that if it was disproportionate and I'm not sure it was, it wasn't the officers because we had East Montpelier in floor callous and Kari and Joshua. And as clerk, and then the others would have been the chairs of our committee. So it's the chairs of the committees that may be. So I just wanted to point that out. I don't know that the. Officers are what tip the scales. Last year. Yeah, and I'm not aware that it's a chair of a committee that gets on the steering committees. Chris, Chris, I think it was near the end. So it was when Jonah stepped off, I think that there was some shuffling. And I think that was, and we all had acknowledged that that was due to the fact that it was because there was no reason to kind of shift of, you know, a Doty representative in there because we were so close to the election time. So I think that's when it started to might have looked that way. But typically it is pretty balanced. Okay, I'm just. Yeah, thank you. Any other comments regardless, regarding that. Otherwise. Okay, I'm looking for a nomination for vice chair. I nominate or Stanley to vice chair. I can. Thank you. So, Kelly moves that Joshua second set. Any discussion. All right. All those in favor please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed. Hearing none unanimously appointed or so congratulations. Thank you. Okay. So now to the third officer looking for a nomination for Clark. I would nominate Diane if she's willing to serve. Well Joshua had stepped in I just as long as Joshua I mean I'm happy to do that but Joshua if you're enjoying that role. I don't want to. I'd be happy to do that. I'm not sure. I mean to Chris's point. I mean, you know, that means there are two representatives from middle sex. I don't know if you all feel comfortable with that. I know we did. I know I jumped on there at the end, but now as Ursula is the vice chair. I mean, I just thought I would point that out. Any, any other. I am, but I don't know if we need a second before discussion, but if we do a second. Not that I don't think Joshua does a great job. Yeah, okay, so the way it works is that we can have two people nominate it. So if there was somebody else that wants to nominate Joshua and then just count the votes. It's the pleasure of the board or if, you know, if we just have one nomination that's okay too. So, are there any other nominations for Clark. I don't quite know how to do this. Josh, do you, I feel like we need a little bit of discussion. Do we need to nominate Joshua first? I just. So how about this? I'll nominate Joshua for Clark as well. Okay, and I'll second that. I think that's the best yet to make it fair. Okay. And then it gets a little complication in, in the, in the vote and because we're not in person and it's a little bit hard to send, to send ballots. So Megan, I don't know if you have any, any thoughts sometimes what we do at the FBI is that people just send an email with their vote. So it's just easy, you know, like, easier or I don't know if you have any thoughts. So would we do a chat to the host. You can do it. Perfect. Direct chat to me. I also just. You also want to make sure Diane already did that both accept the nomination before you vote. And then, yes, you. And just do direct message to me probably actually would be easiest. So maybe floor to floor. Yeah, yeah, because it'd be easier to count. Yeah. Joshua you accept the nomination. Oh, excuse me. Sorry. I didn't know I had to. Yes. Yes, I accept. Okay, thank you. Okay. So now if you can direct message me on the chat, that'll be great. And if you're, I don't think I. Just give me a minute because I have to go one. Okay, I think I counted right. So Diane is our clerk. Okay. Thank you both. Right. Moving right along. Now we have all of the officers. I'm just going to go with the little memo, and we'll move into committees after. So we'll just go in the order of the memo. So we're going to stay. Are we okay with saying I need a motion for our current board meeting. First and third Wednesday. Go ahead, Ursula. I move that we would continue with our current board meeting schedule of the first and third Wednesdays of the month with the first meeting being an educational meeting at our elementary schools. And the second being that you can second being our business meeting business. All right. I'll second that. Thank you, Michelle. Any discussion? Seeing none. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. And then just, I would like, well, maybe, I don't know if we need to do a motion, but that all our meetings will have a virtual option. And then our board has the ability still through this year to have like today, we did a virtual meeting just to make it able to. So we want to continue to have that, but I don't think we need a motion for that Megan. What do you think it's just a practice. Yeah, you don't necessarily need to practice. I think it's a leftover from last year. You wanted to have that discussion about whether or not you were moving one way or the other and then the law allowed for hybrid for longer. So I think it is just affirming how the board wants to do it. And is there agreement with the board that we would operate, you know, and what is best and continue to have a hybrid, but if necessary, we would have a hybrid meeting when needed. Everybody okay with that? Yeah. All right. I also, I was just going to explain I think my message to Melissa got lost in translation a little bit. We will cross reference the board meeting dates with holidays to make sure none fall. And it's not quite cross referenced here so we won't take time tonight so if any of our established board meetings fall on that did happen, not this year but last year. So, we'll just try to get ahead of that so we will let you know. Yeah. We're just a short list for right now. But yeah, so if you see any please email us. So now we can moving to committees I'm not going to go ahead and because we have a lot of returning board members we all know what committees are. So I'm not going to read what what our committees do but you know they expedite the work of the board. They're really important for us in order to operate properly. We're going to start by the steering committee so right now we have it. We have somebody from East Montpelier. We have some friend buddy from middle sex. And we have somebody from Berlin as our clerk. So we're looking to add somebody from call us and was there. We're looking to to the steering committee. So we'll be looking for nominations for the for the steering committee. Daniel you have been the one posting recently. So you and Michelle get to decide because you're the two who wants to be in the steering committee. I don't feel strongly I guess I have some reservations not knowing when they meet and what the time obligation is. So the steering, the steering committee meets the second. I'm going to get it wrong now it's second Wednesday second Wednesday of the month before our three months it used to be the first Wednesday as well. But we can always depending on the composition of the steering committee we could try to adjust that is usually helpful to have it at least a Wednesday before our meeting so that we can have what we need for the packet and adjust so that we can all look at the agenda together. So it's not just the chair and Megan looking at the agenda. And that has worked really well. So it's that it's at nine. It's and nine to 10. Is that a virtual meeting floor. Yes, a virtual meeting. It's a virtual meeting. Yeah. It's pretty, it's pretty painless. Having done it. Yes. It's not that much time. I have a standing meeting at that time. Okay. So Daniel, you're saying yes. I'm looking for another one and then you somebody can make a formal motion to appoint it to be with their who's going to be. Well, I would dominate because I can't make it at that time. So, I mean, I can't do Wednesday mornings. I don't know how much I can either I've got standing commitments at work at that time. So we might have to look at that. Can we reconsider the meeting time? Based on who's on the board, like who's on that? Yeah, I think. Yeah. So if you guys want to nominate somebody and then we will figure out the schedule. Do we do anticipate another Berlin, another Worcester member. So maybe we leave it open until we have another Worcester members. Yeah, we can do that. We can do that too. If that's what the Worcester representatives right here. That would be the pressure of them right now. Yeah. Is that what you would like to do, Natasha and Michael. What would you rather explore other? I would rather not leave it empty. I'd rather see if we could find another. I mean, if it's. Honestly, putting another meeting on my schedule is really going to be difficult, but. I mean, I could do. I could do earlier on Wednesday. Yeah, that's how we can, we can figure that out with the committee. If one of you decides who wants to do it. So then we're working either with your schedule, Natasha, or with Michael and schedule. So just decide between the two of you. Yeah. Yeah. So Natasha is doing other stuff too. So Michael, do you want to be in the steering committee? Sure. Okay. So, yeah. And now I'm looking for a formal nomination of both Daniel and Michael. I nominate Michael and. And both. You can do both. Oh, and Daniel. Yeah. So Natasha nominated and I think Chris bit you to it. I'm going to defer to the new board member and. We should give her an introduction to our district because I don't know how familiar she is with it. But hopefully she'll be able to learn over the weekend or something. Hey, Michelle. We're going to get to that in a little bit. But just do it. Okay. All those in favor. Of. Michael and Daniel. Appointed to the steering committee. Please signify by saying hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Can I ask an organizational question floor? We have a steering committee on the books. For this coming Wednesday. Does not have to stay on the books. The question is. Do you want Melissa to send a. Hole out. Or maybe just connect. To the steering committee. Maybe Mikaela and you can, you and I can talk. What's the easiest way, or do you want the rest of the steering committee to meet on Wednesday and then have the first agenda item. Schedule a new meeting. Yeah. I think, I think the steering committee. I'm not killing. The steering committee does need to meet this Wednesday because of where we are right now, but we will make sure to connect with you. Regardless of the time and then send a doodle. To the steering committee. So that we can adjust it after that meeting so that we can have. Okay. Meaning that work. For you. How about Mikaela? You and I can connect and I'll copy Melissa. So she has it too. And get a sense of dates and times that do work for you. And then I can bring those to the steering committee on Wednesday so that we can make the change right there. Okay. Right. So now policy committee. You can just volunteer your hand and we can, you know, we have. Continue on the policy committee. So we have Chris. Natasha. Amelia. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And I'm looking for a nomination for the three members of for Chris, Natasha and Amelia for. I moved to nominate. Amelia Contrada, Natasha Eckerd and Chris McVeigh to the policy committee. Thank you, Daniel. I second. Okay. I'm going to give it to SAC that Ursula. Okay. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Moving into the negotiations committee. We won't have negotiations for the next three years, but I think it's always good to have a negotiations committee. We should have one for, because there are some other things that you guys need to do. And I have a question. It says three, but last year we had four. Yeah. It's the three is just a minimum of four members that it's good to have, but we can have as many as, because like the quality committee will have a lot of people. So. I'm happy to stay on that committee. Thank you, Joshua. I am too. And I would hope Diane is. Yeah. I'm sure happy is quite the right word, but yes, I'll be pleased to continue that work. Okay. Joshua, Dan. And Chris. Okay. Any more. Okay. I'm looking for a nomination. I nominate Joshua Savage, Diane Nicole Fleming, and Chris McVeigh to the negotiations committee. I second. Thank you. All right. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed. We have a negotiations committee. Okay. Education quality committee. We're so, uh, yes. So we're so, uh, Diane. McHale. Daniel. Me. In sack. All right. So Lisa, are you with us? So I'm looking for somebody to make a nomination of Ursula, Diane, McHale and Daniel sack. And myself. Yep. So moved. All right. And second by. Second. Amelia. Amelia. Thank you, Amelia. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'm going to go to the next slide. Can you pose hearing none? We have a education quality committee. Excited that. So was the most populated one. Okay. Finance committee, Michelle Ursula. I would like to serve as well. Okay. So Chris, that committee does. The morning. And again, the reason I'm putting myself forward is because of the the reconfiguration, or the configuration study, you know what I mean? So that, I will, I mean, I'll watch the videos again of the meetings, but again, the reason I'm putting my name forward. So if there's a Berlin person on it, then I'm happy to step back. Was there a Berlin? Keely, did you want to be on that, or able to be on that? Okay. Yeah, I'm sorry, I really appreciate you, Diane. Oh yeah, no, no, that's fine. I just want to do it. And I, similarly, I've been on the reconfiguration side of things. I wouldn't mind being on finance in general. I just can't do Tuesday mornings either, but, but. Yeah, we're going to continue to have the configuration committee. I'm raising my hand. Yeah, yeah. We might need to expand the configuration committee anyways, but we, yeah, so, so we have Chris, but just to make sure that. Sorry. It sounded like you were getting ready to review the names anyway, because I didn't, I didn't get them all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I, yeah, I'm just going to review the names, but also make sure that we, that we are going to continue, especially because that next meeting is tomorrow morning. We're going to continue with one meeting in the morning and one meeting that we're doing before our meeting in the afternoons, at least for right now, because we are scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'll be there tomorrow. Okay, so, so we're going to nominate Chris, Zach, Michelle, Diane, and my Katelyn and myself. And I'm going to miss and Ursula, right? And Daniel had his hand up as well. Daniel, I just, yes, yeah, but I was just missing my current. So Daniel, Ursula, Zach and myself are the current members. We're adding Michelle, Chris, Diane, and my Katelyn, right? Did you get that confusing thing, Lisa? I did, thank you. Yep, thanks. All right. And who's making the motion? So moved. I'm nearly out. Thank you. Seconded. Seconded. Okay, my Michelle. Michelle, okay. All right. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Hearing no, the motion carries. Okay. And now we get to the transit officers. Okay. So, what about our representative to the Central Vermont Career Center? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm like, I wrote all over there, so I don't, yes, very important, thank you. And Jody is here. So we need to appoint somebody to the Central Vermont Career Center. I've been talking to somebody in this. I was hoping that Jody is looking now, very intent. Joshua, are you still willing to do it? Oh, I would love to do it. Yes, yes, sure. I would love to do that. It would be, yeah, right. Sorry, that sounded very not committal, but. Yeah, no, no, that would be great. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna nominate Joshua and all of his enthusiasm for this position. I'll second it. Jody's real enthusiasm, I promise. Yes. So nominated by Ursula and seconded by Chris, is that right? Yeah. All right. And I'm staying for this committee, Jody, do not. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Hearing none, the Career Center has a board member. Thank you for being here, Jody. Welcome, Josh. Yeah, he'll be awesome. He'll be happy. All right. Now moving into the trend officers, thank you Ursula for catching that. And so the motion is right there. So I'm looking for somebody to nominate for Berlin, Celia, and on and on. I don't wanna read it twice and I'm assuming you have the packet in front of you too, Lisa. Go ahead, Ursula. Aye. Nominates Celia Guamon for Berlin, Kat Fair for Calis, Gillian Foucault for Worcester, Carolyn May for Middlesex, Alicia LeFord for East Montpelier and JB Hilferty for U32 for Toronto. Thank you, Ursula. Second? Second. For Daniel. Okay. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. All right. Moving right along, we are gonna agree that we will use Robert Rules. Yeah. Okay. And then we included a copy of the board norms in the packet and we can look at that, we'll update them at our retreat. To summer. Okay. Go ahead, Diane. So it's kind of ironic, but don't we have to vote to agree to use Robert Rules? Shouldn't we have a vote? Up to you whether or not you want to vote to adopt them because they are your default. Okay. Yeah, but yeah. It's up to you. Yes, if I knew Robert Rules was a little better, maybe I would have known that, but okay. Yeah, I didn't bother with it because if we did not operate with it, we would be not complying with open meeting law because we're a group bigger than 13 too. And even for a group smaller, we would have to do it, but we like asking the question anyways, but it's just a good question Diane. But I don't think we have to because we better. And I think we'll agree that. But I would like to have a motion to accept our norms. Daniel? Yeah, I'd like to move that we adopt our norms and subject to consensus, change them as needed. But for now, I think they've been great. Serving is great. Second. Thank you. Thank you, Daniel. Second by Chris. Any more discussion? All those favor fixing side by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Can you oppose? Hearing none, the motion carries. Yeah. And then we're moving into our communication practices and we have to agree that the chair is the spoke one for the full board and the superintendent is the spoke one for the district. And best practice is the puppy, the superintendent and the director in communications. This is more of a practice. We are really good at it. Is there any questions on it? Thank you. There was there was vacuuming so that he was closing the door. Sorry. We could have a motion of this, but I don't. It's, you know, it's more of a practice and an understanding really. So I'm okay either way. Megan, do you feel strongly one way or another? Sorry, I couldn't find my unmute button. Nope, I'm comfortable. Okay. Any questions on that? Everybody comfortable with that? Right. So let's move to our schedule annual board session. This year it would be, remember, we keep talking about it since last year and we were trying to keep it on the same date. So it would be either August 6th or August 8th. We could send a poll to see what works best for you guys, but this is what we've had since last year. And I know it's hard to get everybody. We were trying to do it earlier, especially, you know, my kid, I got really strong feedback last year. So I'm trying to keep it within the dates that everybody said. Yeah, so hopefully this works. So should we send a doodle ball or, what did you say, Chris? I would say send a doodle ball. Yeah, a doodle ball would be great. Okay. Yeah, thank you. We'll have Melissa send a doodle ball for... Yep. And then let's move to the locations for our posting our agendas. So this, you know, we've had, trimmed this over the years. So we have each school, the Washington Central website and each town. What do you mean each town? It's town clerk. Yeah, it's get email and each town clerk posted, posts the indoor town clerk's office. So could I have a motion if people agree with that? I move that the meetings be posted at each school in the district and at each town clerk's office and with each town clerk by email. Is that right? Each town clerk, yeah. Yeah, we email them and they post it physically. It's posted in. Yeah. In the district website. In the district website. Second by Ursula, I think. Right. Daniel. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. And then the posting of the minutes, they're posted in our website. Sorry, who seconded the one where you're posting the agendas? It was... Ursula. Ursula. Thank you. So I'm looking for a motion to post their minutes on our website. I'm moving to be close to the minutes of our meeting on the district website. Second. All right. Kelly, was that you? I'm gonna give it to you. I actually was not one of those. Diane, I don't know. I'm like... I'm gonna use Natasha and McKaylin like unanimously. Yeah. Like the same. Yeah. I saw McKaylin, I was just laughing, but I didn't. Okay, so McKaylin. And Ursula, Ursula moved it. Second it. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Good. And now we need a motion to designate our newspaper record. Mr. Dachor is here. I move to designate our newspaper record as the time's up, I guess. Thank you. Okay, second by Zach. So, Kelly and Zach. Or is that right? Two people spoke at the same time. Yeah, let's do it. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Yeah. I'm not sure we're gonna need this this year, but let's just appoint somebody to be the voting delegate for the statewide health insurance. And we need to designate that by April 1st. So, what is this position for? Yeah, we just ratified there's the statewide contract health insurance gets negotiated statewide and we get it one vote. So we have a voting delegate to ratify the vote basically. Who has been our voting delegate in the past? So we did not need it last year. I have been our voting delegate in the past, but it can be anybody. I nominate Floor. In the voting on one in particular? Okay, I was talking that. The ratification of health contracts basically, you know, the ratification of it. And Megan, you can help me here. Yeah. Yeah, if there is a successful negotiation for a successor healthcare agreement then board members from across the state have to ratify it. So she's not our negotiator. No. She's just your vote. We just ratified what they decided on. So we, you know, each site, it's a process that hasn't gone perfect. So I'm a little sarcastic about it. So I don't get into it. But, you know, we need to have a representative. Yes, I'm familiar with the process. We appoint delegates in. So I'm happy to serve. Michelle, you nominated myself. Is there a second? I'll second. Thank you, Zach. All those in favor, please signify by saying aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Okay. And then we included the code of ethics. Obviously, if you wouldn't mind signing it and giving it to me on Wednesday, that would be great. And I understand there's some that don't feel like they want to sign it and that it's okay too. But if you could sign the code of ethics and give it to me on Wednesday, that would be awesome. It's included in your packet. Well, you bring some copies on Wednesday. That's what I was going to ask. Can you bring some copies? Sure. I'll bring some copies on Wednesday. And then on the open meeting law, I was just providing the same link as last year. This is a great little webinar on open meeting law. We do a lot to do professional development as a board. We are also going to talk in a minute about our professional development, but there's some links to that. Then the individual board development, as you know, that is something that is really key and I think has made us a really good board as the state and we do a really good job about using time to learn as a board. So there's a couple of, some of you are familiar with that. I think we just have one new board member and that is you, Michelle. So this is your time to introduce yourself. I think you know everybody, but now you have a different hat. It's the new board. Every time we have a new board member, so please go ahead, introduce yourself. And, okay. Welcome. Thank you. Michelle Sepka, I live in Calis, been here since 1991. Both of my kids have gone through this school. Some of you know my kids. Some of you I know from when you were in school. So yeah, I worked in the district for almost 28 years. So I'm familiar with a lot of things that have gone on or go on in Washington Central over the years. And I'm happy to, I always wanted to be on the board and I couldn't because I worked in the district. So I'm happy to be able to serve this time. Thank you, Michelle. And welcome. So there, we added the two dates, May 6th and May 15th and then you can just like click on that link if you have not to be F and it takes you right there. Even if you can't attend that day, you would get all the documents. Michelle, we will get you a book. Everybody else has their Vermont School versus Association book. If you don't have one, please let me know. But I believe everybody in this call has one. And now, Megan, we talked about two dates for doing board orientation. We originally wanted to do this in our meeting on Wednesday. That was our plan. That's how we did it last year. I don't know if you guys remember, we were in Calis and we had some board learning this year because we had to shift and quickly move into the gears into what we need to do for the budget. We took it out so we have all of that time for budgeting and we were gonna propose two dates to you guys, the 14 and Megan, I'll let you take it from there. So the goal is that this would become a regular part of your meeting, not your meeting, of your schedule for new board members, but any board member is welcome to attend and sort of loosely blocking off 90 minutes. It probably won't be quite 90 minutes. And this year, it feels like virtual would just be easiest. So the two date options, and it needed to work with central office administrators because they will join this to talk about their functional area is Thursday the 14th, meaning this Thursday or next Thursday the 21st, both would be 6 p.m. to 7 30 p.m. Michelle, you get priority to pick and then obviously anyone is welcome. I'm open either of those days. Are there board members who want to join that have a date preference? And maybe that's putting people on the spot. Seeing no preference, it feels like something that should happen quicker. So if it works, Michelle, we'll do the 14th. And I'll just have Melissa send the invite to everyone and then you can make your own decision. It is virtual and it is an electronic handbook so that we'll send that out to everyone so that you have access to it even if you can't attend. Thank you. Sorry, Megan, what was the date? Thank you, Matt. Thursday the 14th, from 6 to 7 30 p.m. Thank you. And all board members have access. We went through the handbook last year and we'll look at it at our retreat too, again. And then the only date that I don't have here, man, and I would love to see if you have the, our board work calendar there is our joint retreat with the staff, I forget, with June 14, I think. Let me look at that. I want to make sure I'm not making that up so that you guys can have it in your, and we'll have Melissa send that out to everybody, but we had blocked it on our work plan last year. Yep, it's June 15th. And you will have access. It's built in as a, the same day a normal board meeting would have been. That's why I'm excited was the easiest. It'll just be a little longer. It would be five to, well, starts earlier, I guess, five to 8 30 location to be determined. So I just want to put that back on your radar. I was going to say currently the calendars has it at four from four to eight. Great, it's four to eight. Yeah, I, yes. Yeah, and I think that's what we have decided so that we can get, so that we can get dinner in this last year was a little, okay. And then the last part is just discuss our local and statewide location advocacy responsibilities is just mainly staying in forum, you know, read your BSBA newsletters and, you know, participate and, you know, Megan and I both try to send you when there's urgent matters and Daniel, you have your hand up. Well, I was just going to ask, and I do so with some ambivalence, but about the transportation committee, because I think I'm the only member of the transportation committee and I've never had any function or activity related to that committee. I was curious if it had a purpose, if we needed to keep it or whether we could just delegate its roles and responsibilities to finance. I think that's what we did last year, Daniel, but I missed it. Megan. I was about to be chagrin to say I don't know about a transportation committee. So that means it preceded me. Or I missed something. Yeah, but last two years ago, we transitioned this. Michelle was part of this and you can speak to it, Michelle. So the only time the transportation committee came together was when we were trying to determine if we were going to be changing bus routes or renegotiating the contract, but when we renegotiated this last time, we pretty much used the same bid specs as in the year before prior, because they were good. I mean, a lot of people in the state took our bid specs to use them and that was it. So unless you're planning on looking at transportation in a different light, I think it's fine to let the finance committee do it. Well, the finance committee reviewed those. Yeah, yeah, and that's where it should be, yeah. Yeah, I think that sounds good. I'll just say, I think we are considering looking at transportation in a different light coming up, but I think the finance committee and its reconfiguration format is also the place for that discussion. Great, good point, Dan. Thank you. Okay, so unless I'm missing something that concludes all of our reorganization, we do have some numbers of the public, so I wanted to ask again if there was somebody that wanted to make a comment before we adjourn if the board is okay with that, I'm gonna open it to the public. If there's anybody here that wishes to make a comment, please raise your hand. I don't see any hands asking one last time, is there any public comment? Okay, hearing none, we can adjourn unless there's anybody on the board that wishes to make a comment. Otherwise, we can adjourn by consensus. Okay. You okay with that? Yep, sounds good.
