 And I'm going to call the meeting to order. My name is Peter Nowland and I am the moderator of the Orange Southwest Unified School District. This is the annual meeting of the Orange Southwest School District. And this year it is being presented both physically in the auditorium and virtually. I will begin the meeting with asking people to join with me in a pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. Under Robert's rules, I should read the full warning before we start the meeting, but I'm going to ask for consent of the meeting to just simply read each article as I come to it rather than reading the whole warning first.

One year from the date they're up. What is the pleasure of the meeting? It has been moved to authorize the school district to so borrow, is there a second? A second. Moved and seconded, is there any discussion on the motion? Just so folks are aware, this is the arbitrage because school districts fiscal year start July 1st and we don't get tax money until generally October. This allows us to pay our bills during that time and then we pay it back when the money comes in from Texas. Thank you. Any other comments?
