 schedule retreat retreat um what do you call that agenda thank you add that to we could add it to schedule retreat and agenda just so I know I also talked about we can get to that yeah so would it just be like it's in addition to schedule I think we just added in you know any other justice agenda nice we have any public comments you have public comment at the beginning? I know I was my first question was are you going to make any public comments? sure okay um um um um normally when it is related to the approval of your minutes um um due for um probably want to wait till we approve them I don't know how the logistics of it work well you motion to approve and there should be discussion why don't you say your point now yeah and then we'll get it thank you I need help with that that's really disgusting right now what I should do yeah I was saying when there's a you'll have discussion after you make a motion to approve then there's discussion and then you can make your comments and if they're happy with those comments they can amend it based on what we're asking alright great and you're not going to have to wait long I'll wait till we're ready yeah that's great then the consent agenda and um looking for a motion to approve the minutes of May 28 I make a motion to approve the minutes for May 28 motion to approve the minutes of June 4th meeting so we'll move it second it and then discussion discussion before you go right okay so I move to and if there is discussion you'll need to ostensibly um you know move that we call the question so we're looking for a motion to approve the minutes of June so moved seconded I need discussion June 4th correct yes on June 4th the meeting I would like to encourage that Orca is considered where she's moving where are you at the very beginning number one Orca was not included and neither was I um and also moving to 4.10 I would think that Orca should be included in that 4.10 are you a newspaper? we had to designate it well you're a designated media service and now we need to change it no I'm just saying maybe it's instead of media outlets instead of newspaper and radio we need to start saying media outlets and then list them yeah I think that makes sense now that media is more than just yeah and that way then that would be in there so designate media is there something though this reorganization is this um like a state statute state statute special or like way we've gotten into a habit of just doing it this way we can add or okay I uh and the reason for that is because the newspaper report you know didn't include you know that Orca was even there so consequently people it didn't help people from even knowing that they could go there you know because it was taken from the draft minutes right I think it makes sense to add um a media outlet that's made of media outlets um and I'm not sure though how we could right at this point in the meeting we can designate a media outlet you know these are all amendments that you're discussing okay so at some point somebody's going to have to make a motion to include these amendments we're amending the minutes but we're amending we're also adding to the minutes we actually don't want to I don't think we want to change the minutes because we want to approve the minutes as a record of what happened that day correct what we want to maybe add is in our in our um agenda today is that action items I don't know 8.2 change listings of media of you know to media outlets something like that yeah so that then when we get there we'll we'll then say from now on we're designating media outlets and include Orca in there is that oh is that take care of it yeah I mean that's right and it also hopefully this will take care of the thing because it should be in the news article that Orca was there so that people know that they can watch right that that should be instructed does that commit um Orca to be at every one of our meetings I don't know I don't know Orca is committed uh for select more movies and this yeah yeah now we're not your minutes right we mess up and miss one we're not your official minutes no no no but it's just that it's a little different one's one we're sending out announcements to Orca is coming in to film we don't send announcements out to Orca unless they're at a meeting right right so it's a little media outlets is probably the right term because it's a little different one seems to be we're aggressively putting stuff out there the other is kind of a passive they're doing this as a service just a little different I don't know it's just as it says designate newspaper radio station for official notices so it's um have we at any time I don't remember um uh designated Orca to be our thing we have they just volunteer to show up it's right so I see I'd get to your point that it's it's different than what those designations are then maybe what we're designating is that we want every every time we put a news outlet it should say and the meeting is on Orca if they were there for that meeting it should be yeah I think I think that because I because I don't I don't know it's different I actually add a notice of audience well it should I would say that it should be somewhere on the minutes that it was video and I don't know if I noticed you saw that you were in the call to order you know in the minutes it doesn't say call to order on the June 4th it doesn't say in attendance school board members Carl Graf the administrative and Orca media should be there so that everybody know and as a public member yeah that's amazing way to yeah yeah yeah yep yep yep so the question though is about designating yeah so I don't think we do want to designate right I don't think I think it's a matter of getting the information out and I think it needs to be part of the minutes and a call to order that Orca is present yeah whenever we do a call to order that a nascent weight is present so I don't know if we need to designate that but we should put it in the minutes I would see like Bruce is saying this is Orca coming in yeah providing us a service and if we in the future we're looking to get official notices out then we might want to designate a so a another type of media to get our messages out and that time we want to designate maybe out on Orca form as our designated place that we're going to you know like the newspaper what is the other media outlets we're going to use to get stuff out I think it's good to the name change I agree with what you're saying about Orca and call to order I think I'm making sense but I think it's good to change the name anyway because it is going to be more social media it is going to be the stock which connects you know Facebook stuff like that we're talking about more than just a traditional we'll advertise or send out something to those so I think this is a more up to date kind of designation anyway so in our reorganization so there's two things we're talking about sounds like we're talking about always making note when Orca is present and whether it's you or Desmond you know that they're present as members at the meeting and I don't know if we have to designate that but but the other one is coming in but no I'm just saying whether we need to say that all the call to orders need to include video video and I don't know do we just we just say yeah here with and for to right call to orders so that should be an action item then we want to put that 8.2 because we're we're still in approving the minutes of Tuesday we want to get that done now that so instead I had 8.2 is to set up what should always be included in the reorganization change reorganization and 8.3 would be change rules of call to order does that make sense it's the not really call to orders is there any action is it just something that you can clear contact address for work you could put at the bottom of our agenda recording it's just making sure that whoever does it 10 makes that note so the public doesn't even on the bottom of the anything cool so do you have something else to say about the minutes yes 4b which is public comment board b b yes actually I had waited at that time and I was under other and during other the conversation was quite lengthy and you can speak about transparency I seemed like that was a pretty big statement others is kind of blank but when it comes to 4b it's understanding what was written it's referring to electric tools that's wasn't what I was talking about was talking about the electric tool usage and landscaping of the school properties you know so when you read this you have no idea what is going on in the conversation so later tonight in public comment I will go back to that because I have found out some interesting things in that in our history of our usage so you want just so we stay on the topic of the agenda because we're just approving agenda do you want us to change that I'm just making a comment that I had waited at that time and went to the section of other at the time because I don't think we had public comments back in the last the very end of the meeting under other there was the agenda wasn't really as clear to have all normal things in it so what do you want right now as far as the agenda do you want it to reflect I'm just hoping in the future there could be more detail I mean I don't find that for being really explained what I was talking about I mean there was there was this actually if you watch Orca during that section you could probably regain the conversation but I definitely understand we you know the minutes are to be as have all the important information and if but not to actually really forward the entire meeting because you know so it's not going to be comprehensible what we're doing okay we'll leave it there thank you so I move that we call the question of approving the minutes some some moves yeah and you can you can just do it all in favor and now we approve the minutes okay as now we now we we're looking for a motion to approve the minutes we already have it's already been moved all we have to do is just put it on with the the addition to the and actually oh I see we're going to add that into that yes there was a yep got you there was a modification for the minutes okay um I think that's a surprise that was my comment no just a question for then are you still needing to make sure I do need to get home around 8 because okay you're all conscious of how it needs to be able to be out of 8 yep type your style your email said 7.5 so is there's a there's a there's a there's no more comment we'll move on to super superintendent report we're going to have a whole lot to report I will tell you that we did as you know more client are tech director has left resigned and yeah and we have had interviews for a new tech director I made the offer last Friday to someone and I don't want to announce the name because I need to get the executive board together in order to do the approval but somebody who is well known in the state very well known in the state has applied and we're going to move forward with that but I need to get the executive board to approve it okay and that will happen hopefully in the next couple of days for the July kind of gets in the way but as soon as I can because Mark is actually left now he left Friday so so we shouldn't be without the tech director for very long and I think Mark has done a good job in trying to get equity among all the schools we used to have the haves and the have nots and now pretty much everybody's have been brought up the speed is somewhat equal you know not without cost to the districts of course but I think we have a system now that is been equalized and the kids all have opportunities with Chromebooks and things like that that they all have pretty good handle on technology we've got a lot of new things in the schools like the interactive boards that we use and various other things so he did a nice job and he's how long has it been three years is it a surprise he was reading those I knew he was looking he took a position in New Hampshire down in the southern part of the state of Wilton and Weinberg which is a very rural district somewhere between Keen and Salem or Keen and Nashville put right down on the Mass Border I think they probably he's probably got more resources there so I'm not I wasn't completely taken up guard the problem is there was an executive board meeting last night and I didn't have his he didn't call me and tell me it's a job until this morning so I couldn't really do it last night no we're still hiring teachers here and in all the districts around the SU expect that to go on for a couple more weeks or another week or two but it's coming to the end of that season now that we're into July I like some of the people that we've gotten back there's a bunch of us going to Leslie University to take a class in literacy leadership for four days and we will we're going to stay at the Leslie housing to try to make it affordable in dorms so I have to go to a hotel or whatever it is I just think that's more fitting they did tell me they have air conditioned rooms so I'm happy about that but the room rates in Boston are four nights three nights four days and those dorms Mary Ellen Amy Toth myself the principal from Tumbridge the principal from Chelsea principal from Royalton Elementary I think there's Senate Deb Matthews although she's staying with a relative so the housing's pretty cheap and this time of year in Boston we're looking at 300 bucks a night rather than for people and that's not I mean we'll pay about which is I think pretty reasonable it's like a well-in-skeleton well that's where we ought to be staying not in $300 hotels anyway so we're gonna go down and work on this and hopefully that'll help we have a new principal in Newton she's an interim her name is Tracy Thompson she comes from Hartford a new principal in Sharon Keenan Halley and he was on the staff there and promoted up to principal so we're happy for those two issues of new principal everything else is pretty stable actually so we're happy about that okay okay principal's report so thank you it's pretty a little bit about what we did on the 18th and 19th with staff we had Amy talk here on the 18th to work with all staff literacy training and other professional development around literacy training and it was a good jumpstart I would say she also set up individual and group times with teachers to work on different strategies for their classroom and implementation of parts of the kits and things that they should be doing before so it's not just a free for all of everybody going their own way she described the coaching model that we'll be using as well as let them work together to kind of start to decide for all the information that goes with what should be in a lesson every teacher that participated in that for the most part what I can see on my learning plan has signed up for the one credit course that goes with that so they have to create a classroom action plan as well as part of that class and then the next day how was that received? very well I think they were excited about it because it's kind of been these materials that they haven't all gotten into and you still barely scratch the surface on it but it was a good opportunity to just talk about like and the reformer they need very good yeah philosophy like what is the must haves what are the what's the coaching model then how does she work? so some coaching in terms of my understanding is that she'll go in and observe as well and then talk about how meet with different teachers as well as teachers starting to meet with teachers to observe do you model anything for the teacher she doesn't do an interactive coaching um I think at the beginning like we're still working all that out in terms of what that will look like for both doctors and what to that's something you've talked about telling isn't teaching I mean it's not the same as showing and leading something especially if you see something that's incorrect right away you need to intervene right so that's it concerns me that it's not an interactive coaching yeah that's I think there's I think there's room for us we have not sat down meeting myself Bruce Bonnie Amy and Mary Ellen so that's definitely something we can talk about how that works because I remember that from your presentation so I think the interactive coaching hopefully could be right and she kind of divided people up by like primary immediate grade and worked with them in that setting like what does this look like in your classroom what do you need and when I say just scratch the surface we probably could have spent five weeks and still not even gotten through everything we need to but it was a good positive step in the right direction and then the next day we met through the boarding and it was an opportunity for teachers to work in grade level pairs to talk about some curriculum and some background design planning and the way Bonnie and I put that is we have a lot of great people but they've kind of been off doing their own thing without any clear direction so now that we've gotten through a lot of other things we can really focus on some instructional needs so we presented I say we Bonnie got a flat tire on the top of the mountain that day so I presented this backward model that we had come up with as well as a lesson plan template and we've asked to see that and what we're seeing in mathematics moving forward. Can you just explain what backward design means again? So it means that you look at your whole year and you kind of map out your year. The year you just finished together. Well, no. Oh, looking forward, okay. Moving forward, yes and you should be mapping out your different units so you shouldn't be spending three months on something that's really you know. So just the term backward meaning that you're sort of okay this is my goal and now how do I get there? More backwards in the terms of here are the student's learning objectives. What is it going to take to get them to meet those learning objectives? Oh, okay. So you have what the outcome is and then you work backwards as to how you would build up to that. So that's also in the design of the lesson play. Right. That coordinates with that. Absolutely. It's kind of all in one and that seems and then we let them go and work on that and just rotate it around and ask questions and yeah. Just back to my you know my harbinger open curriculum. These lesson plans are some edited down version of them going to possibly be available someday in a three-ring binder that parents could look at and say oh this is what the fall is going to be for my kid. This is because there was more of that happening in the with Linda toward the end of the year she was sending home stuff about what they're actually working on and I just mean that is something I just have been around you know pushing for quite a while it's just the idea that so that it's transparent because you don't know are we working on learning about mountains or are we learning about Africa or are we learning about and and are we we're we're all generally starting at the division you know in second grade we're going to be starting in division and working up through so some of it's already we can easily share and the reason I say that is some of it's all the proficiencies have already that your second grader needs to know by that into second grade in math and writing but so that would definitely be easy to share out but we have talked about a more how to share that out we haven't quite figured that out there is the newsletter right that that's a little bit but I think better for something a little more kind of this was to say I brought it up several months ago this idea of curriculum transparency the idea that it's literally in a book at the front that anybody can walk into the office flip open the book and look at the goals and I know that Bonnie sort of said well we're working on that so we'll get there right and sounds like you're saying we've got some of it already's got to do that yeah so I I just thought to see next year I don't know that it'll be a whole year comprehensive even if you just said fall term here's what fall term and you can look because I'd like to be able to look and see what the third grade is doing for the third second grade it's just so I can be looking ahead we're very active parents here this is the kind of stuff I think some teachers are better than others I know there's certain teachers here that have always done that very clear about what what they're where their goals are certainly can enhance their relationship with your kids you can build on what you're learning you know what you know what you're learning and if it's something that's available that we're not necessarily shipping to every parent all that paper but it's available can you find it or it's sitting there it sits in the office and anybody can ask for the curriculum book you know and I just you know because transparency is one of our biggest things and the more the more parents are aware if they want to be about what kids are doing the more engaged they can be and then they share with their friends hey you know that we're working on this stuff really would you see that that's like you have yours and I have mine fair enough we have our flags sorry I'll let you get to number 3 no you're good just go to now so we've been interviewing for the fourth grade position for Rochester first started interviews I would say was a failed search that happened failed failed search yeah failed search meaning we brought some candidates in we had five scheduled jobs other places and then we brought two in and they just weren't a fit for various reasons so we held the interviews again last weekend we have a candidate in mind and Bonnie is working on checking their references right now because the references are on the west coast so there's a whole time difference in working on that so hopefully soon are you actually excited about the person or is it like yeah I think so that person has interviewed yes has interviewed after we had her nice nope she's local that was the woman who was here the other day well there's a yeah there are a couple candidates I am excited I think there's a lot of potential and an interview doesn't tell everything right but the first thing I'll say some people are just better at it than others just fine so we'll which is why we're really keen on what the references say to make sure they line up with what we think yep okay that's the best way to put that members from both doctorate and Rochester campuses attended the best institute last week which was an opportunity for teachers and principals both Bonnie and I went to attend different strands social-emotional trainings and then come back to the table and work within your team on what that means for your school and your campus and it was really productive and pretty powerful that's where you said you had sent yes that was did all the teachers from both schools go? no everybody had the opportunity from Stockbridge to teachers and our guidance counselor went and from there our guidance counselor and three teachers went very good thank you yeah absolutely we do think that we will probably a lot comes out of it meaning like you plan how you're going to roll out your school-wide expectations and how that implements discipline or impacts discipline and things like that so we are going to present to the faculty that you should come next year it's the same same week every year and worth it gentle suggestion gentle suggestion yes Stockbridge is looking for a custodian and we've received several applications and we'll begin interviewing next week when Janet Whitaker gets back from vacation because she's definitely wearing the ins and outs of a web app person let me pass this around while you're talking about this this is a letter from Francis Brown who's been our custodian retiring and you know he's been here for this I've used since five years here and then Randolph for a much longer part yeah we're going to miss him yes he knows a lot of things and then last week both Stockbridge and Rochester had the asbestos visit it was exciting we don't have like the results of what they found about the asbestos other than what they'll be put in your plan including people being trained and notification of asbestos things like that what else Rockbridge is underway here which is I saw him yesterday morning summer camp as well as tutoring is included in that too we have a resignation from the Zed teacher which you want to read back this is the one here yes just I'll put that into the minutes when we are after these searches you want to say something I did for you and it's completely gone after this too be careful with us almost 60 years from now don't even say it yes that's I remember the whole office because I remember I talked to you about the Lisa Blair and it's now that's official going to be talked about right that's official Bonnie put an ad to go it should be in this week's paper and have we your question I'm getting we are sharing Lisa now yeah I'm just it was sort of presented to the board that there was going to be sort of dynamic change in terms of who was going to be taking care of what and if somebody might be taking care of two things here from here and then I'm just wondering how that's going and what's being advertised the plan the plan right now so the plan right now is Janet Whitaker is doing all of the ordering all the P.O.'s all the accounts payable for both campuses and that's just to keep consistency and then and that will stay she's not been doing that or she is she's now doing that so that's just to keep Lisa from that from the Rochester right so that has allowed us to expand her we think 10 days well it'll be a little bit of trial and error her contracts like 200 days right now but it'll end up being more more with this additional work because Lisa's was more right Lisa's was more Lisa's was year round I believe yes we're not 260 right so that's year round 260 is year round so Janet will 260 hours this will be a 260 F days this will be a little bit of trial and error how long it actually takes her to get through everything that needs to be done and so the position being advertised is the position being advertised right now is for a 200 day person which is X number a day it has to be what like five days at the end of this school year and what to do what what is that what is so that's all the stuff that happens in building you know supplies come in they've got to figure out where they go right and just answering orders right in front of office like registration and kids records and getting all that paperwork to parents and back right we're going to keep her position as far as I know okay yeah no I just wasn't that was changing okay so it's a cost savings opportunity some of it will very much depend on what that applicant pool is in terms of what those responsibilities can be I think what we found is Lisa is a wealth of knowledge but in terms of the need we're now that we're both through K through 6 there's probably not necessarily a need and we may be proven wrong when we try this model but that's what we're going to go yeah that makes sense and in the interim like Bruce said Bonnie and Lisa sat down and figured out a schedule she'll be there like three days a week for just a couple of hours and out train whoever the new person is and that is kind of it's been worked out but again it's going to depend on the person and you know what is a system for one person may not be a successful system for the other person so right okay good thank you yeah oh that's what I'm looking for oh great on the 19th we're both faculty we're together we're going to be getting registered too that's about it oh no worries um uh yeah okay yeah so that's the end of the possible report yes okay discussion items we'll try to be conscious of the time as we're discussing I mean I almost think the retreat yeah I think that's a big issue I think we really want a real vision on that and that's a a real vision that could be part of the retreat agenda so okay okay um so update on the sacrifice generator um and last week we were going to find out a little more when I didn't see out of it I didn't go to the select me okay so I have to do that okay so that's good that's why I put back on the agenda so we can make sure uh where we are so um right it's awful and terrible no it's okay it's no big deal so Jeanie is gonna um speak with the go to the select board to talk to them about um because it's a uh emergency shelter shelter and and such and then I believe also Lindy you are going to I reached out and the woman that is in terms of that was so hopefully so when that was you know more clarity on what possible grant help they they were gonna help us with the grants but we wanted to know a little bit more specifically you know are we talking you know a thousand dollars are we talking you know what really is out there because we just don't know they have all this experience working with getting grants and stuff and then I had also giving you um the Rochester shelter teams um McCann's number just isn't a resource if needed to um uh because she they have um created a Rochester shelter team and they might just be a good resource for for us okay great sorry guys no not at all that's trust me I've got my project I've been working for three months it's uh it's uh um okay so then the um moving on to the next steps after the lack of a design report um and I guess I mean part of this is sort of retreat topic but is there obviously the next step is the asbestos would get inserted into that yeah so the next step is really we're going to get a physical report right but I don't know one the one that's in your email is everything that they presented to us priority wise um should be 95% which is right is 95% of what you're looking for but is it like a written is it it is written I haven't read it because you didn't know that's the thing just dive into what exactly are they saying about this portion right I think it's written I I didn't read it but I I haven't yeah so that you can you can coordinate with the part that she gave us right so you can then go back and just get a little more information about what that could be right so there's going to be an asbestos add on to it yeah okay and then do you think you'll have that before don't know yeah okay they've been paid do we know I believe the bill was submitted so yeah how was their budget like do they still like their budget yeah is that what you're asking I think so I would have to I haven't seen the bill Tara would know that I don't know can we instruct you to ask Tara and let us know just to I just got a big bill that was beyond what I expected or something and it's not fun we don't want to take a shock because that is sort of one of the reasons we picked them I think so they did a good job okay so we'll get to report and the next step is that we're going to have a retreat that we're going to discuss overall vision and of our district well and like as Bonnie said what do we want for our kids and where is the best place to have that happen okay that's I think that's the way to go okay so in some ways we've done the next step with the next step is for us to use the information use the information as I think yeah for our retreat and probably I mean I haven't done any stuff but probably all of us should get familiar with it yes that we all should be wait wait we should so that we can come with questions I mean maybe the next retreat if there's anything if we could all look at it questions for well maybe black river yeah because I'd hate to be this was sort of Carl's thing at the emergency meeting was he'd hate to be held up at the retreat by something significant that we don't have that we could have had if we knew and not that we're of course we're going to come up with stuff so I'm just thinking if we could all jot down a question or two obviously Jenny you you know this material how to read these things really fast so I'm going to put it all on you and then I guess we'll follow that through Wendy and Bonnie yeah if there's questions for black river design yeah clarify anything yeah that would be my suggestion for the next step before the retreat okay to come up with our if there are any maybe not read material and clarify anything that needs to clarify so that we go in really well informed okay and then I assume at right and then part of our retreat agenda will be the next step after that yeah it will use the material so that the what can you know where they're involved in it it would be great to have printouts of the final report for the retreat can we ask them to do that for us well we can print out what they e-mailed they won't send hard copies until that asbestos right once it's final and or they won't finalize it if you guys have other questions too okay so possibly the the week before the retreat is when we should ask somebody you know to print out copies for us that'd be great because at that point maybe just to well I'll talk about when we get the schedule okay good do we know does it cost more if we ask them questions at this point not if we ask them clarifying questions if it I think if it requires them to go back in and do regular answering questions they shouldn't turn they also we ask them about that and they said that they wouldn't mind taking some quality right and they'll definitely let us know they've been really easy to work with right they seem like it yeah okay good so I'll let's change to save that for the agenda um what's happening well I've selected prior to our um okay like what well like would they take a building or to you know basically I worry you do that too early right that that is going to set the tone that there's some plan that none of us really have thought about I agree there's also a lot of suspicion around oh yeah what right right and I think I think it works I think it works yeah exactly and it works against Bonnie's you know I think very valuable information which was to say put the kids first because if we sell it as this is the best thing for the kids look at this we can have this this if we make this choice and then if we have yeah we're making the choice positive choice right from what right yeah okay yeah no I remember that too so I I think that's a very good very good point okay I should move on with them okay 7.4 the Rochester Marquis was brought up at last meeting and also meetings prior to that and so Bonnie had yeah that's about it he wanted to clarify we took the sign down carefully it is behind the high school relocating it will be difficult and perhaps not at all practical its original location was on a flat surface on the dandelion property in order to have it relocated on school property it would have to be put across the driveway the problem there is that the bank slopes sharply towards the parking lot it would require a significant footing to be placed there and then it is in a location that makes it difficult if not impossible in the winter to actually put any messages on it there are also there are also some line of sight concerns that would have to be dealt with plowing a root with 100 would also impact then she notes let's meet at school one day and I can be more specific about the challenges of relocating it she wants to show you what she is talking about if maybe she can definitely clear I think I am going to get to your issue but maybe not so I think what we are actually this to me is pretty clear about that marquee that marquee that we have and I think Mason I may be anticipating you but maybe not how are we going to get public information out is the question to ask because I think Mason's point that it is the public notice board correct for the school to that point I had no idea when Rochester was going back to school until I dropped by and saw this exactly I saw it here first day of school exactly so I am just saying there needs to be a plan for having a notice board some now all know but also but I am just saying but I am just saying so that is an instruction that I hear you know this is problematic with that time so what is the plan there needs to be a plan and you don't have to have one I know it is on our list for her and I when she and I meet next week it is important I think there is a couple pieces to it we are not going to win is the first thing to understand each and the reason I say that is each family each person expects the information to come to them in a different way and I think that is great about a small town but I don't have the right answer I don't know that we ever will that we will get everybody to it I agree that we need to have a more consistent one I would also say when looking at marquee boards that is the biggest pain in the blood I have ever dealt with in my life it doesn't even open all the way you are getting hit it is very time consuming but it is definitely on our list to talk to I think we would be open to suggestions but I don't know it sounds like the line of sight would be the first question I don't know that there is going to be an actual replacement that would be in the line of sight every 100 based on her email without that but I don't know sure here yes coming in front of the camera you are doing it correct another location is about coming in front of the camera so you see it we don't correct no I love education there is a whole different world in town okay functioning so the last painted barrier with a fence on it we have barriers for the school buses the thing is painted why can it be part of the last barrier so on that chain link fence well take the part of the chain link out or even chop off some of the concrete put it I mean come on we can do these things I was just thinking the same thing no no no it's not but I don't know I think it's I think we can look I'm just trying to think can you see it from both face yes it's what I'm asking it's even better than the old location well the old location I was looking at that is a good because we but the bus the right hand bus isn't that on property we don't own crap there's a right there's a right of way no no no I don't know where the property line the property line is actually in them somewhere in the middle of the bus lane where they park but the concrete things I think are on our property but we don't we need to clarify that but that is a good suggestion you're welcome and you know maybe we have to look at moving forward to save labor by looking at the new technology of a sign that the person does it from inside but like like yeah beckle I mean we just move forward yes and what's critical you were speaking of different people's needs right the taxpayers who are not parents that's a big one for them right how can that information get to them we have had complaints about the one in Beckle let's move in and it's you know it's fashion things and people great this is a possibility let's and I would be happy to meet with you when you would like and I'll actually show up as opposed to the future and this now I'll just talk about yeah okay talk about it good great so moving on to action items treasure new treasure oh your own 10 okay so as we know Kathy Brown's right precious and stayed on with us but she's going to be leaving August 30th as treasure so do we know what the treasure does we have the description sure and it's not a paid position anyway right it is it is a paid position well I do have by from the state the the statue of what a school treasurer does but it is the handbook for municipal treasurers where this came out of but in layman's term no I do not have I get the warrant science science the checks after Jamie says yes right you have to go and then she mails them all out well there is some type of financial reporting she's supposed to do as I've been diving into the funds and endowments that we have there are specific reports that she's supposed to be providing to the board and to a terror as well we do a lot of the leg work in our office right she takes all the deposits like we drop all our deposits does it make sense to have it connected to the town clerk or does it necessarily have to be it does not have to be it's by default that if the school does not it's not able to like the town a school treasurer the town clerk has to do it's they have to have we I don't think we have a new one yet I don't think town has a new one yet we have approached our Rochester I have spoke with Julie who's our current town clerk she really would not like to at this time just because she's so learning the whole town clerk position which is why I'd like not to have it default on somebody new in Stockbridge they have a lot that they have to figure out just there maybe I mean do we literally put out an article in the paper and saying that would be a good stuff to put out say we're looking for because it's a part time position correct some pay I mean would you be able to write up a description for no what I would like to ask is if our business office has one what type of support they would be able to give to a new treasurer because I had one lined up for previously desperate from the SU it was a bad time in the office up there but she said I don't even know what I'm supposed to do I don't know so she might actually be interested where are we to give her a probably if she could get a like a training and a definition she could possibly be interested again I was also thinking that Becky Klein was is the what vice assistant assistant clerk thank you the assistant clerk and so she was our assistant treasurer so she knows the ins and outs I don't know if she'd be lying to her or not but I think I think publicizing our need but soon yeah yeah that's why yeah yeah no I think this is happening fast for any due to why next meeting can tell together a little thing that says and what do we do put it in the hell I think so because it's that goes to both our communities that is our designated people yeah and maybe we put it out on Facebook too I don't know but I think once we have it yeah and once we have the link that it's got support correct that'll make a big difference because it sounds like it's not something we want to just no because I'm diving into the project I've been diving into you know handed this box normally but this is just a box papers and here I am trying to go you know trying to organize and put just the yeah yeah so yeah it's it's actually a pretty important job so we want like a paragraph saying duties of a treasurer this is applicants will be told maybe if you don't put the salary in there but maybe you say part-time pay or something like that yes mostly volunteer this is public service with a little renuminary right something like that perfect and if she wanted to write it up and I approved Deadly and Rebecca Klein absolutely absolutely yeah okay and obviously if anybody yeah if you think of somebody anybody who no public service minded people yeah um okay well then we will move on to action items and we are going to start with our scheduling of the retreat now um do we have a confirmed day for the retreat well everybody who was at the emergency meeting they could do August 2 except well no I sent that out and then I talked with her afterwards and she was like at the farmers market and she was like I could make it work so right now obviously what is that August 2 is a Friday okay and the idea oh I'm sorry possibly if we started a little earlier that's what I suggested to her um they talked about 10-6 and Carl was like ooh you know maybe 10-4 um I think you know the idea that it's a lunch meeting and I personally could start especially because it might be right down the road for me um I believe as far as I know that my house that I have available is still available August 2 okay um it's a great place to meet um yeah I think that's yeah and then 4-6 was a board meeting our actual annual board meeting and maybe we the annual monthly monthly our maybe we don't want to do that to be able to keep the time shorter for I mean her her concern was you know missing her Friday market which she does very well at in Rochester um but she also felt like when she started to make it work so I think we should obviously when her child is out of danger um we approach but as far as I know and I don't we had you weren't there but as far as everybody who was at the emergency meeting we were all good do we know Bonnie she was good and you were good correct so um I'd say we go forward with that then um with the hope I think yeah I will um is anybody what do you tend to for that well we were thinking maybe starting earlier right oh why no you do wake up in the morning don't you not early oh really well 10 to 4 is is 6 hours with a watch I think that's probably but but are we also doing a our August meeting because we weren't I mean because that would have been not just I mean think about it if we've talked about our big topics basically we're just asking for principles report there's always other I don't know it just seems like we always have so much to talk about you know we have a literacy um thing that she could do for us you know we would spend some time on that so I I don't want to I'd like no I agree um well because that's that was the tenor of the uh that I got at the last meeting Mason sorry what are you um yes yes correct but it's gonna not be it will be in an alternate location yes it won't be in one of the two schools it will be in an off site and we are now discussing about our we're gonna no our meeting if we're going to tack that on about because that would be a meeting the next Tuesday right and the idea was that we just met that so we weren't gonna do that but that wasn't anything set in stone so I think we did ten to four ten to four I think personally we should keep I think it was like somebody's going away though right after that I'm gonna be patient the third I'll be gone on the sixth you'll be gone on the sixth I'll be married by that point you'll be married so you made one all the excuses you can't know just kidding it's going to be a separately worn time right meeting so even if we're not done discussing discussion of the retreat we could probably have the meeting that has been worn to a specific time can we have a meeting a scheduled meeting in an offsite location of course of course you've worn it and everything tell everybody where it is public what you do right so okay so it's the time what time do we want to so when so the meeting will the meeting be worn for four or will the meeting be worn for three or two four because then you're now you've right now you've extended it they're going to be there for another hour to five well but I don't think you want to cut short what you have during the retreat those are bigger items somebody go wake up three God and go one day nine to three and then we do three to four is the schedule board meeting and that way we're still out of there I'm down with whatever you guys want but just know that we need to nail it down because I said nine to three nine to three oh no board meeting is the second after nine to three and then thank you for asking so I was trying to be polite who is going to get that information to miss miss Christy miss Christy I will tomorrow tomorrow so we get location I just I'll I'll confirm because we don't have if it's not available because I knew it was available in end of July when we first thought but I will confirm let me make sure tonight that I have day care for that day because she doesn't usually work on Friday but she's usually convenient just to make sure we don't have a meeting on the right because we get a little tougher work but yeah we could probably have a solar attachment we can do mine okay so I'm sorry we do need to keep going because she's leaving soon so now coming out a little bit of an agenda well we obviously know the Black River design before and the next steps can we start first with like vision what's your vision what's your goal I've got a big black rolling board that's what this needs to be it's just big agenda items we just so the big agenda items is the future future of the school nothing less than the future of the school and there's a bit of information that I would sort of like to have there and I was going to ask you if it's um can we have a potential budget three years out five years out for this SU the SU I mean the things that we know are going to be marching for our for our district the expenses that are going to be going up that we have no control about they did do that for re-emerging there was projected budgets yeah I think we have a lot better idea we're looking at just a something increased two percent increase in spending and a three percent increase in spending two percent decrease in students or something like that right yeah something so that we're dealing with concrete numbers at one point because one of the biggest questions I want to talk about is at what point does it doesn't get too expensive to have two places two campuses two campuses we need to know this we need to have as best it's the big question that everything's out there that everybody's freaked about and we need to have some way to look at this in a rational way so it isn't just well I want a great school and I want it to be in this building that's why I'm wondering what can we get from the our business office that can help us with that question um I've got a new business manager well no I'm just saying you know I'll ask and certainly Marilyn is working with her we're working together on this and so you're you're looking at your look at student numbers and you're looking at um well I just remember when when we were emerging we were provided with some type of budget with a matrix that had to do with for cost of living increase or you know trajectory salary increases also with what the projected like decreasing or what you know historical decrease in population in schools I just see it as the biggest question we've been facing ever since the murder even got talked about buildings you know as where are we gonna be in five years and we need to be thinking about that um the projection of students is not something that's difficult it's not a difficult thing based on what we already have in the building just projecting out what the average classes have been we've just gone out a few years that's not a problem what about teacher salary in the same uh well I mean all that so there's a couple variables there's the health insurance the state's trying to do now with everyone and we don't have agreements that go beyond this next year I mean both the teachers one will sunset which we just approved the sunset beyond that I mean I I think it's been 3% you know per year maybe if we had but that includes you know that includes we usually get that handed down on I mean this year the health insurance increases huge and that adversely affected your budget because we had to figure that in there I don't have any way of knowing what health even if we're conservative conservative estimates for the fixed costs fuel salaries health care and if we took conservative estimates and play that out 5 years what does it look like even I just like to see it just to see because because I get these sort of whispered comments that this is this thing that's out there that's going to get expensive and we need to have some sort of numbers to talk about because I really don't know other than that it's just making it up right well I'll work on it I just you know that's a month from you know gone on vacation no I understand and if it's too much then we'll just have to no but if you were if it's too much any portion of it even like you just told us like 3% health care 3% you know even if we had those basic things for salaries health care was 11% okay well then that's great I mean whatever number we can at least have a list of that type of information and if you could just literally we don't need actual hard data we just need percentages so that then we can sit there and go look at our own budget and say this is going to go out every year this is going to go down 2% whatever the student population is okay you're right you're able to do student projections pretty easy okay does that make sense that's all we're living for that'd be great thank you because it seems to me that's the huge elephant and then of course we're going to put the annual meeting and report review that'll be a nice break actually right from the big I would say in the same the calendar we talked about like a calendar yes oh yeah yeah what should we have ready for what body and I need to do it's just easier to map out the whole year as I said I'll ship my big private race board up to this thing so we'll have a big double sided board I think while there's time line for the meeting absolutely like time paper yeah we could just spend on 9 to 10 whatever 10 to yeah it's a good idea so we're not going to bring any time right exactly because we we chat we're going to look at like well we don't get to that today if we have if we have right now how many agenda items three we have three future of the school there's an annual meeting and report review calendar so are we saying that the future of the school includes that Black River design report yeah okay so that's a tool right there that's a tool that we have to get to the point of using first but either way if we're going to review that that's going to be at least an hour I think there would be two parts to it some of it might be some action steps to start thinking it out that we have to do anyway and some of it might and then we have to make a choice in those that's right there's a lot of components to it and then there's stuff that we have to do right away so we should make that decision should be first right so we sit down and start talking about regular start getting stuff off all the books start getting what we see for the future and so for one hour and then maybe we dive into the Black River design looking at studying action items looking at just like what is it saying there you know what well and yeah and what are the action items and what are studying action items and what are you setting and I don't know what I do like apart for you for literacy are we gonna do like presentation stuff like do we want like projector or are we just doing like handouts I don't think we're gonna know anything more than we know right now about literacy effort until it really starts rolling generalizable knowledge so that we all we all can judge so you have an agenda in mind well I've been basically I know you've been doing it yeah so but what you're talking about is for our the agenda for our meeting not for the retreat however you want it right we were just saying should that be included in the retreat or the meeting I don't care but I think Jenny was referring to should it be part of the retreat or okay so right now I have I think it should be part of the regular meeting and because I'd like to continue that I think it would be on every agenda so I wouldn't yeah I was surprised she wasn't on the last day well because she just came back from Copenhagen Copenhagen okay so my adoptive son I would just come home oh my god that would be so black rubber design that's 10 to 11 right do you think an hour do you think it's just an hour 10 to 11 and then well let's figure out all the things we have and then we'll figure out what are the priorities yeah I just kind of an hour down I'm going to force myself yep you do you do go if you want I can after come up with a agenda I can put it in put it in okay media I'd like to talk about okay okay thank you okay so what else so let's not even worry about time so we've got future future well vision will be an hour we'll dive into the study the study for an hour and spend and then spend an hour on like the action items reviewing the action items let's put it there for now yeah that would be 11 to 12 break from 12 to one one an hour break because when I'm taking the break I'm going to no that's fine thanks Jenny I think an hour is too long personally but that's me I also think but you want to start at 9 and I'm doing it so okay fair enough fair enough 12 to 1 lunch and we don't have this summary well how many do we know how many do you meet either am I a meat eater yeah oh yes okay good my brother grows very good hamburger perfect that's and there's a grill at this spot so I could grill hamburgers for people perfect perfect and I'll make a potato salad yeah if we could do then potluck sort of fillers around first side that would be great I'd love a big salad alright we've got one to two and two to three so we've got two more hours and I think so that's your annual meeting and annual report for you and calendar I think we're going to need more time diving into block ever but that allows us to calendar isn't going to take we have two hours calendar won't take that long we did put two hours to the block ever design and it was breaking into two one hour so like you know wow it just feels like a big one isn't the first one that it sort of informs everything else but people prep that in my opinion you can have everybody come to the table with like do you think needs to be included in the vision and that keeps it so you're not starting from scratch that's a good idea so if we get the agenda out now should we not worry about time yet no I think we should because we could spend we could go walk and not get out I think we need to put time on it all right good then we're done I think you ought to put times next to your agenda yeah I think we are I have a time keeper and keep it yeah good then I think we're filled I thought I did pretty good you're doing great we're doing pretty well and I think we're done I think we've got our agenda okay so then the annual meeting and then and then two to three the calendar yeah and how about may I suggest we leave the last half hour open yeah just if we want to return to some subject okay so calendar are you up an hour open yeah because calendar is only going to take I think an unorganized thing a calendar for a discipline half hour and then just a half hour of whatever in regards to the four mentions okay okay and then at three is the meeting August regular meeting right gotcha good that sounds good I think that's great I think we should get that out to okay so the members yes yeah correct August 6th is canceled the meeting will now be on August 2nd I think a lot of people vacation will appreciate that all our fans as we come to our meeting on we will get the the agenda out once we have determined the location yes because we need to have the location the agenda now do you have a grill I have a grill is the agenda something that like Jenny's just going to put together we're going to put together it's not going to have Christy put together right I'd like you to feed Christy whatever you want have Christy actually put it together okay okay but I do think we should send it out to Carl and to Megan and Bonnie as soon as possible just so they can have the input yeah it's tentative okay and then that way it can be we really too much time there you know Carl and Bonnie both and Megan may have okay so maybe when I'll have Jenny I'll ask her to put this almost like as a separate email with the minutes please review this and you can and then we should make it clear on the minutes that this is the tentative agenda yes this is a tentative agenda for our retreat I'm very glad we're doing this okay I'm so happy you're doing this this is my stuff I'd like big revision stuff great the second part of that I'm so sorry do you want me to do a little thing at the meeting at the meeting at the proper meeting from three to four the literacy because I'm going to start something that's going to take longer a friend of mine who's a long time principal anyway I'll talk to you about it the idea of phonetics and phonetics no what's the other phonemes phon it's the idea of sounds phonemes yeah she was like that's the thing that's the thing that comes before phonetics absolutely and it was so great to talk to her I wanted she's such a she's been an elementary principal for what should be like Bonnie like 30 actually anyway yeah she said it was really great you'll see it when I do I'm going to do a little piece of probably a two hour well it's probably a two and a half hour presentation all total I would love to do some of this stuff if that's possible is it is it just something well I'll be teaching this summer oh you mean I oh I'm teaching kids oh no no I was just saying I would love to do some of it we're going to see what they do okay cool then maybe they haven't before cool good let's keep going okay so E2 was media we're going to change the directions for the organization they can do that without a corn oh you're right we can't do anything with that corn I just wanted to make comments no we can make comments we can do other comments but we can't I passed out sorry I was like before you take action I passed out the calendar and this was something that we labored with where the professional development days were going to be where the vacations were looking to Randolph we had to be in cooperation with Randolph with this the vocational center that we are designated are the ones that set those dates right this took a long time because the professional development days we negotiated days and where they were going to be and everything but there's also a rule that we only can have one calendar and anything else would have to be an appeal from the state to the state basically we have one calendar per SU and in other words it's used to be that Rochester could set Rochester's calendar it's not like that anymore and so immediately after this came out one of my districts asked for a waiver because they wanted to do their own thing and we're waiting for them to hear I've asked for waivers for districts for the last three years and nothing's been proved I don't expect this will be approved but they wanted me to do it and I did it and they didn't like when the vacations were because some of the kids don't go to Randolph and they thought they ought to be able to be more linked to Hartford I'm not I'm not mentioning who it is because they don't want it out there it's not necessary that it's out there but so you said that our SU's designated tech center is Randolph and we have to and we have to follow their their calendar not with everything not with every professional development day or things like that but with vacations but with vacations and starting date end date it has to be pretty close so so I'm giving this to you I don't want you to approve it I'm not going to ask you to do it but I I do want it out there and I do want you to understand how it's different now than it used to be how was it different okay you used to be able to sell your own calendar oh yeah so this is the first one no the last couple of years it's been like this as we've been what is the first vaccination that they I mean what could be I don't understand well April vacation April vacation and February vacation we're a week earlier or a week later I got it whatever I actually went to the Randolph folks and I asked them to change one of them I can't remember which one because most of we got consensus here that we wanted it to be at a certain week and what the principals usually do is they look at the February vacation and the April vacation and they try to judge the amount of time between them as instructional time so that it's not too short to be able to just get started then we got another week off so they try to make it so that it's a number of weeks in between and you can get some good teaching time in that time September and October are really good teaching time that's really setting routines and getting kids into swing of things but to have time without a lot of interruptions is really what we try to do so I just I'm giving you this I want you to have it can I just ask a question oh no that's good okay is it happening again just the thing about the February no the yeah the town meeting it's on there so but what is is that the second the third so the third is actually there is only in Rochester and the rest of them use their buildings as polling places and you don't compromise between you two that's why we have the earlier projected last day of school because we have correct when is everybody else projected last day one day more those with snow right you know I had to put the five days in there even though if we don't have them we don't have we had four days this year you had I think it's better to think that it's going to be later and then when you get out earlier hopefully we won't have a generator day or a lack of generator day next year so anyway there it is there it is it was really a lot of work really ok so sausage making is what it was so literally where are we right now now we take public comment now that yeah I think that's what we can do that's what I'm saying we have to table actually we can't act on it but we actually did we scheduled the meeting before she to cancel the meeting and change the meeting did we? I don't think we actually voted on to... Okay, call her up. They're on the phone. I don't need to... We just need to set, because otherwise we haven't officially set the meeting as August 2nd. Good. I'm glad we've got you. You're good. Do you have her phone number? Do you have service? Okay. I don't have service, but I have her phone number. Do we have a phone here? Oh, which actually reminds me. I wanted everybody to look at this and update their information to make sure it's correct. I would like to... I definitely want to update it and then send it back around. Good for you. And I do think we should have, like... Yeah, please contact on this line, but it would be an emergency go ahead and contact through this med line. Oh, that's a good sign. Yeah, that's not her. It should be on... Uninfection. Yeah, uninfection. You got a bad infection. Bruce got an infection. He's in the hospital in South Carolina and here. Oh, you're kidding. Yeah. Jenny, it's Wendy. Can you call me back on my cell phone so we can make a motion? Thanks. I mean... I think we could try calling Carl and see if he's on his phone, but... What do you think of that? I think it's otherwise. Well, meanwhile, why don't we get the public comment from Lisa? Yeah. Do you have something more to say? Oh, yeah. Information about... Goodie. Goodie. We might interrupt you. Let's try these calls for a sec first. And then... Because we have your undivided... Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Hi, Jenny. Hi. Hi. Jenny, well... No, it's okay. Anyway, I'll let you... Okay. So we need to... We need to entertain a motion to schedule the annual retreat for August... Second. Second at 9 a.m. on the location to be announced and to move the regular scheduled August 6th meeting to August 2nd at 3 o'clock at location to be announced. And we need you present to actually vote so we have a quorum. Yeah, I just realized that, yeah. Good for you. I entertain the motion. So move. Seconded. Second. Jenny, seconds. All in favor. Oh, any discussion? Hi. Oh, no question. All in favor. Hi. Hi. Hi. So move. So move. So move. Okay, thank you. Sorry. Thank you, Jenny. Yep, no problem. Good. That's good. Okay. That's good we got that done. Okay. Thank you, Lady. You're welcome. Okay. Now you have our undivided attention because we can't do anything else. Yeah. I'll be coming. Okay. This is the meeting. There was one area where you were talking about the treasure and the town clerk connection there. And as I understand right now, the minutes, the only location that they're kept is at the SU. Is that correct? The file of the records of the minutes? Hi. Is that different than where they're posted, you mean? They're just on the website too. Yeah, they're on the website. Which website? The WRBSU website. So what I'd like to suggest just to talk, you know, it's about the admission statement and everything else, is that between Stockbridge and Rochester with an older crowd of voters and so on. Maybe it's okay to have the minutes in a book in each town. Okay, that's really... They are posted out of... No, not in a book. But in a book. That's a draft. Historical. Historical minutes after they've been approved. Correct. That are sitting in a three-ring binder at both town offices. Where are they kept now? At the SU. And on the website, which is... But the website is... At this stage again, we're still dealing with paper for official records. You know, when the internet goes out. But anyhow, it's just a suggestion. Is this a suggestion to talk about? I mean, it's easy for a lot of townspeople to go to the town clerk's office or more familiar with it than the SU. And more familiar with it. And it's just a binder. It's not that the town clerk has to do a lot. Just hears the binder. Okay, you know. It's something to think about. Okay, I'll be kind of quick because I know we're all on to home. I want to share this article. And maybe it can be shared among you between now and the retreat. It's about sterling colleges anticipation of the future of education. And whoever thinks this, maybe you can share it with the others. Make copies and let's get it. The critical mission. And as a taxpayer for me, as I've spoken at the last meeting, I feel there's a lot of need to bring this issue of climate change into the mission. And even here in this school, we have the Earth flag up here. And I just hope that, you know, what we're doing isn't just lift service to our kids, you know, that we're being very serious about this. And higher education is looking at this very seriously now. My next one is that since last meeting, I had the opportunity, I was driving by Rochester and our maintenance, one of our maintenance individuals, I'm not sure his name, was out weed whacking with the fossil fuel weed whacker. Basically, Bonnie was suggesting we can't put the sign. So I pulled over and I said, hey, how's it going? And so, you know, you do have an electric weed whacker. I had no idea. I've never told me. There's a real disconnect between what our policies are because we went around and around and around. It's called the amnesia of this program. Is that it was finalized, it was purchased, it was to be part of the program of the maintenance. The tool is most likely walked up. I have no idea. You know, I mean, so how do I have faith after someone who has been on a school war a long time ago and witnessed all these things and now it's just amnesia? You know, so in this whole conversation of climate change, how do we follow the amnesia? I gave you that information on electric lawn mower. You know, for a taxpayer looking at kids all out there all summer with fossil fuel lawn mowers, pushing them around. Well, on the school property, this is where those young kids are going to be educated about tools. And they're going to probably have a lawn mower before they have a car. They'll probably drive it before they have a car. So there's a lot of education now that we can be doing. And it is critical. So just disconnect of what happened to our old tools or even our staff, the kitchen staff, the maintenance staff being educated of your desires or the community's desires or where we want to go with this and because back then, when this particular trimmer got purchased, I think before it was all over, the big head maintenance person wound up leaving or being, I don't know what happened, fired or whatever happened. But, you know, it was like, who runs the show, the public or the staff, you know? So, you know, I think... Thank you. I think that's worth more of a discussion amongst us to figure out what is... Is that what part of our vision and what part of our mission where did that fit in? I scanned this and that's exactly what they're saying that it should be part of the central vision of education. And that came out after I actually talked last time about this whole thing about it. Yeah, no, no. This is a very clear model of how we could invest this with our students and how we educate them. But it's... Yeah, not just paying... Thank you. Well, note to Bonnie, check and find out where that tool is. Well, it's part of the policy. You know, it wasn't the tool. It was the desire to make these things happen. Well, I'd like to know where the tool is. Not that we're ever going to find out, but why don't we check? Yes, great. Thank you. But, also, I need to talk. If we do contracts with outside people to do things we do as a public, we can say, well, these are the type of tools we want you to use to do the job. You can take a letter from the board to a bank and then go get the tools. You know, I mean, this is how change happens in the bottom part. Oh, you're right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Is there any other business that... We can't even make a motion to adjourn, cabinet. We can make it. I don't know whether it's official, but good. We have to stay here. Good bye. However, we have to stay here forever and just look at each other. You guys can all leave, but we can't. 8.15. Call her back. No, no, just kidding. Okay. We're going to do without a form. Okay. Make a motion to adjourn. I make a motion to adjourn. Second. Third. Second is third. All favor. All right.
