Ellis shows generosity in everything she does at home, in school, and with her teammates. While choosing a gift for the giving tree, she didn't hesitate to pick the biggest plushie she could find, wanting to give the very best. Her giving spirit shines in all she does.
Congratulations, Ella. [applause] Uh, from Robert Earl Horbell Intermediate School, we have Aaron Celeste. >> [applause] >> Aaron is an exceptionally generous student. After visiting the book fair, he realized that the cashier had mistakenly returned all his money instead of charging him for the books he
bought. He was immediately concerned and insisted on returning right away to correct the mistake. He went back to the book fair and ensured the proper payment was made. Aaron continues to show kindness during lunch meetings with his teacher by offering snacks and parts of his lunch to other students who join them. When he received Halloween candy
from his teacher, the first thing he asked was what kind of candy she liked so she could bring back some for her while trick-or-treating. Aaron consistently demonstrates generosity in his everyday actions and he is truly deserving of this award. Congratulations, Aaron. [applause]

From the Celeste Collins School, we have Emanuel Papier Tua. [applause] Emanuel was chosen as the upstander for generosity this month because he freely and willingly helps and offers what is needed to both his peers and teachers.
Emanuel is highly aware of others needs and consistently makes an effort to assist. Whether it is cheering someone up with his huge smile or offering a helping hand, he is a generous student who can always be counted on to help, share, and support his fellow students. Time and again, he offers classmates
pencils, crayons, markers, and other supplies without being asked. Emanuel immediately volunteers to help when someone gets hurt, needs a friend to play with at recess, or loses or drops something. In addition to his classroom contribution, he serves as a second grade safety patrol, assisting students
throughout the school. His generosity and kindness make him a pleasure to teach. Congratulations, Emanuel. [applause] From the Lilian M. Dumpy School, we have Theodore Cheramante. [applause] Theodore is exceptionally generous with both his peers and teachers. He often

>> Oh, yeah. Whereas Kelly MSA did faithfully and conscientiously serve the Barnagut Township District as a member of the Barnagut Township Board of Education representing Barnagut Township. And whereas Kell Misca has served as a member of the board of education from January 2025 to December

cheer once again. uh with the backing of our community partners, the Friendly Sons of Chile and Gary Brown of Patriot Financial, they were able to provide Thanksgiving meals for seven families. So, that's very exciting. Uh Pause for Causes had a very uh busy start to the year supporting our community. From
September through December, the program provided school supplies, winter coats, and donations to each of the school's carrying closets to help the students and families in need. And in addition, the Pause for Cause hosted several community events, including the spooky Halloween tour, holiday family fun night, and the holiday lights bus tour.
The program also gave back to the wider community with donations to the local first responders as well as the Barnagut Nursing Home. So, thank you to the staff, the community uh for all the generosity and the gifts and donations that allow Pause for a cause to continue giving back to our Barnagut family. Uh I
would read off the Barnagot uh girls bowling. However, that uh thunder was already stolen, pardon the pun. Um, also shout out to the BHS guidance department for hosting FAFSA information night uh where a lot of the students and families were able to come out and understand a little better about the financial aid
process and college applications. And with that being said, I will turn it over to Mr. Fantino who's going to give an update on the state of special education. Okay. So, I have a Oh, too close. Sorry about that. Wake everybody up. >> You're welcome. >> Look us up.
>> So, if you you look up front here, uh I've put a number of different aspects in regards to our special education programs in this uh brief Google slide. And just to give you an overview of what we're going to uh I'm going to share with you tonight um its recent progress
and developments um particularly in the ASES program but also overall in our special education programs. Some of the key focus areas will be about the improvement of the ASES program and strategic uh development of the strategic planning um that we had in May
and followed up this fall in regards to developing a five-year action plan. And in that action plan, I will share with you tonight what the major points are. The key points being the mission and goals and some of the actionable steps to uh work towards over the next 5
years. What I'd also like to do is thank everybody for their support. Um not only the board, but uh especially uh the team that I have, you know, in this new role that I've stepped into. Um I've been able to get to see firsthand even though
I've been here for 20 years in Barnagot. uh Britney and Stacy, you know, my supervisors of the department uh just do an incredible amazing job and everything I'm here to speak of tonight, I want to make sure is clear and understood that um all of this from them and from what
Mr. Gunderson has done in the past has led to what we're going to talk about here tonight. So [clears throat] in regards to missions and goals coming out of the strategic planning, uh the mission that we had written was to nurture and educate children percurricular standards
to prepare for responsive citizenship and life success. And we identified five goal areas and those very brief independent um goals are parent and community involvement, student achievement, inclusion,
communication and information resources for special education. So the first goal under parent community involvement, we came up with a written statement goal that you can see there says to continue to increase parent and
community awareness and improvement. The actual steps that we're going to take to ensure that we are able to do this is to create surveys to send out to parents regarding the support needed for their children. Multilingual options also will be provided and we will
analyze those results and share them with the community as well as the parents that participate on our committees. We're going to develop family fun events that will include also sensory friendly time slots at building events, special education family events,
develop a district-wide resource directory for families to be able to uh utilize at their convenience. invite community agencies to also present and provide information to families at these events and continue to strengthen the partnerships of course that we have
going so well with the local community businesses and particularly through our community- based instruction that's the CBI and work-based learning WBL. The second goal is in regards to student achievement
and that goal is written as to develop academic, social, and emotional skills to increase independence. Actional steps. We're going to continue to enhance and strengthen our work-based learning and community based instruction experiences for our students K to 12
plus age appropriate classes to increase peer mentors during inclusion opportunities and increase buddy and inclusion opportunities. And the next goal is to continue
communication from the school to parents and increase feedback from all parents. So this we're going to do in the following actionable steps. Create surveys again to send out quarterly to parents regarding supports needed for their children. We're going to make sure
that we gather their feedback and their insights as well as to what their needs are. Parent newsletters to continue to be developed um and send out to parents to keep them informed not only what's going on with events but also what the students are learning.
continue to involve special education parents and parent groups. We already have developed PTA liaison and we have some parent advisory committees also that are working on specific aspects of this action plan that I'm going to get to a little bit more in in a moment.
We're going to continue to communicate with the families regarding district happenings or events via email newsletters and aptagy. Aptto being the new platform that we've been using to communicate has been received very well. some confusion initially as expected but
parents have been really praising that and I think you know I should share that with the board as well um how well they like the the communication via apttogy we're going to continue to communicate with families also um through daily worksheets and different types of communication sheets that we continue to
revise as well to make sure that we're giving them the type of feedback that they're looking for. And goal number five related to resources for special education is written simply as to increase awareness of all available resources to ensure that our families as well as our
educators all are aware of all of the resources available to them to help support the program support their children and specifically with the unique needs that they may have. We'll do this through these actionable steps, creating special education resource guides for families to draw that
information upon, including outside uh organizations, and continue to incorporate life skills into the daily curriculum and classes such as financial literacy, basic cooking, transportation planning, daily living, etc. We will continue to strengthen partnerships with
local community businesses and groups through our CBI and WBL and invite community agencies to present and provide information at family events. So, some of those things are repetitive because they cross over um each of those goals, but those are the ones that we
developed in the strategic planning. And as far as a 5-year action plan, the structure of it looks like this. Year one is the planning stage where we're gathering a lot of baseline data through our committees um through surveys and getting feedback from uh the community
as well as from our staff. We're forming subcommittees during the first year and piloting uh partnerships and creating resource directories and standardized communication. We continue to revise as well in years 2 to four. We will build
upon all of these actionable steps and as we build upon those we will also as we get into year five continue to reflect on them, evaluate them and hopefully continue to build upon in future plans as well.
[snorts] I thought maybe we skipped three. Somehow that slide got uh inserted differently. I apologize. Inclusion is one of our other strategic planning goals. Number three, that's the number that was. Sorry, I missed it, but
this is a very important one. It's to increase awareness and understanding of the unique differences within the student community. And actionable steps that we'll take here are to plan integrated family events, inclusive performances, activities for all families, and specific training for all
our staff to foster a more inclusive environment across all settings. Here I want to show you a timeline of some of the actionable items that we developed starting in May and what we've done since then to this point now. So
this first slide shows you back in May. May 22nd was our first strategic planning meeting. After that we had our first parent advisory committee meeting in June a couple weeks later. developed an AS's Facebook page to help share more of the
information that we want to in another platform. Besides sending out newsletters and communicating via email and aptagy, we want to also take advantage of social media. And then further in June, uh, we began to develop a plan for the courtyard with our Bman
and our high school art teachers as well as with the supervisors and the staff to help make the courtyard look more uh, aesthetically pleasing for the kids, make it safer, and give them more in the courtyard in terms of
different um, devices that they could utilize safely. in the summer starting in beginning of July, we developed um the ACES signage that we have outside the front as well as one that we have on the inside uh to
show that you know ACES is actually here in Brackman and a school within a school. That was something that a lot of parents said, you know, we come in and we enter the side door here, but there was nothing to kind of identify with this being, you know, their their wing, their program. So that's something that
we did at the beginning of the summer. And then we also had throughout the summer for handle with care. HWC there's a lot of uh acronyms. Handlewood care is the specific training that we give our staff
all our staff including substitutes or paras or teachers to ensure that they understand how to safely deescalate situations when particularly students uh with special needs may have triggers and um they have crises. they become over uh
stimulated etc. We want to make sure that we know how to do those safely. And so those trainers took trainings took place over the summer and there were four of them with about 20 staff members in each of those and they were two-day trainings. And then later in July, we
had our first specifically ACSIS parent meeting to prepare for our orientation that we had as well as uh the school year and opening up in August. We relocated and enhanced our
sensory room and our special area classroom. We have nine classes in the ACS wing at Bman that are all contained together and able to function together and support each other. And we had to take one of those classrooms that was
the sensory room and build that out into another classroom. And we were able to utilize with the help of Mr. Toddings um find a classroom to utilize for the sensory room that's bigger, safer, and able to handle a lot more students in there more comfortably. as well as a
classroom dedicated for the specials when the kids go to music and go to art. Um that's where they will go. We also uh partnered with ESS that is our uh substitute system that helps us provides us with a lot of staff sometimes to fill
in for teachers when they're out as well as uh power professionals. And so they had helped us with the onboarding process with this training video that was created by our staff from our behaviorist particularly to ensure that anyone who comes in also to substitute
or work as a PAR professional on a regular basis or even uh a short basis understands the particular needs and different types of environments at different types of classrooms and different programs they might uh be involved in and how to understand how to
manage those situations safely. At the end of the summer, we received a lot of new equipment um and and storage sheds to store equipment in the ASUS courtyard and we set those up. We also had tours for AC as students
that were coming to us from Duny from our preschool disabled students classrooms and families came out to see the classrooms, walk through the hallways, walk through the courtyard. and those that came, some of them had come also in the spring and were very
happy with some of the enhancements that were taking place in the beginning of the school year uh in September. Uh we I skipped a step here. We we welcomed also um a certified dog uh that we now have as a dedicated
therapy dog in the ASUS wing, Ryder. Ryder is a dog that was trained and certified specifically for that purpose of one of our speech, Mrs. is Cooney's um dog that she had this summer certified. And then we met with all of
our staff also at the beginning of the school year regarding cameras in the classrooms. That was something that was new with all of our preschool disabled classrooms and our ACES classrooms and the courtyard and the special area and sensory rooms where we had cameras
installed to make sure that they understood what where they were, why they were there and making sure that we had them in the the best place within the classroom so that we get the best access of being able to monitor the classrooms if we need to need to look into those.
In the beginning of September, the art teachers after we had developed the plans and began to uh develop some of the work in the courtyard, they got the students involved as the year started painting uh several different aspects of uh 3D
plywood panel boards that uh were decorated by the students as they designed them to cut out to form different shapes, paint them, and now to be hung in the courtyard. They also assisted with painting uh different types of sea creatures and things to go along with the theme in the courtyard.
In October, ACES had their first trip uh to Story Book Land, which was amazing. That trip um was a tremendous success. We had several pamphlets come on the trip as well, and we're just super excited about it. The kids had a blast. We weren't sure, you know, just how well
they would do, but they did great. The students had a wonderful time. There's nothing negative to say about it. [snorts] In October also, we had a book fair for the ACES students that the students went to at the Duffy School.
And later uh in October, we had our third ACES parent advisory committee meeting. And we also had our second strategic planning meeting, our final meeting um for special education to develop those goals that I spoke of earlier and the action plan. In regards
to Halloween, we had a couple different things that took place. ACES had their own Halloween parade and a trunk or treat out in the in the uh parking lot and they also were able to do that with the Colin students as well. Then in December, we've had a holiday fe
holiday fair at um Darthy also where the ASUS students were able to attend that. And there are several events that are up and coming too that are being planned to ensure that the students at their typical peer age level are able to integrate with the students also of the
other schools and some different events at Donahghue as well as at Collins. some additional areas that I don't have in the timeline that are certainly noteworthy to talk about as far as some progress um in regards to communication. Again, we we worked on week weekly
newsletters that um are sharing with the the parents, the progress of their children, also what the classrooms are learning and what they're doing as well as other events. Parent committees. We have um some parents that have been very involved in coming to all of our
meetings and some parents that have been able to come to a few of them, but they are more than willing to participate in the PTA meetings and help ensure that our students also in the special ed programs are not left out and also help coordinate some events. There are a
number of inclusion opportunities that were developed as well. reading buddies at Horbelt. Uh a playground schedule at Collins to um be out there when the Collins students are also using the playground. And at Bman, we have student
mentors that are also helping to facilitate some activities particularly in art class and gym classes with the Brackman students and our students at ACES. And as I mentioned earlier, at the end of the timeline with some of the trips that are taking place, there are
several grade level trips and assemblies that are planned uh throughout the school year. One of the other aspects of our reflection was to develop some better supervision um in a collaborative way that is going to give us a snapshot
of what's going on in all different programs. also be able to stay in touch with administration as well as the staff uh to make sure that we're identifying any particular needs and supports that might be needed. Mrs. Short's office is one key thing that was um changed for
this school year. She's relocated in the ACES wing. We reallocated some of those duties and those specific job descriptions between her and Mrs. Jackalow to allow more presence in ACES in addition to weekly reviews with um each building's administration. Um, I
regularly visit the different schools, talk with administration and try to visit all the classrooms and they're doing that just as well. Monthly department meetings are taking place and the supervisors are doing regular department building check-ins all the time as well. So, there's been a lot of
opportunities for us to speak with the staff and stay in communication with them to ensure that we're listening to them, getting their insights, their feedbacks, as well as offering strategies or suggestions. So through some of our communication as we've been working as a team meaning
myself with the supervisors with our child study teams um some professional suggestions that you know we have developed somewhat some wish list or things that we want to try to really strive for certainly within budget constraints but we want to make sure that we put everything down on paper and
do all that we can. One of those things that we recognize is um a need for an increase in specialized support staff be needing another behaviorist, special education coaches. These things will help give more support to our students as well as our staff to ensure that
we're giving them the best expanding our ERI. Um again, a lot of acronyms that's uh emotional regulation impairment uh formerly known as BD or behavioral disability programs in the district. We need to ensure that we're also uh making
these programs be expandable more so so that we can um specifically create cohorts in each building, each school that are going to meet the needs of the those specific age level students. And we want to uh certainly enhance the academic focus to our work-based
learning program to expand that not only just be about u career-minded opportunities in adult life in that sense, but to continue to work on the academic aspects of that as well. some of the challenges that we've been facing uh that we've identified. It's important
for us to also reflect and look at the barriers that you know we're having to contend with. Staffing is one of the main ones and we're not the only district. Um there have been a lack of applicants unfortunately as well as the quality sometimes of those applicants that we're seeing currently presently um
particularly with PAR professionals. But we're continue to try to you know work through these barriers. Um we have some increasing behaviors regarding aggression that is not something particular to bonet by the way that is something that's just become more uh notable and seen throughout the county
throughout the state throughout the country is spoken about all the time. So this is a big focus of ours to really address the mental challenges that are facing our students and in future planning for program expansion to address those mental health needs. Uh,
we want to include older level autism programs and expand those ERRI programs. As I mentioned, those behavioral disability programs. And I kind of put a little chart up here just to make sure everybody understands the very basic uh template in understanding the different
programs from top to bottom. In special education, we know we have general education classrooms which can contain also uh special education students. Often those will be students um that are mainstreamed into general ed classrooms
known as in-class resource. And then we have those special education classrooms that are specifically small groups which we refer to as pullout resource but also could be smaller classes with students with more severe disabilities like
multiple disabilities MD classes or LLD learning a language disability classes or the ERI the emotional uh regulation impaired classrooms. So typically that progression is the general ed classroom and then pull
out uh the ICR, the pullout resource, the LLD and then the MD and the ERRI classes. We want to try to move towards the least restrictive environment. That's a key expression that's talked about all the time. We want our special education students to be challenged as
well as we want our general education students, but appropriately. We want them to be able to have success and be in the right program to find the challenges that they need that are not uh too much of a burden for them but challenge them nonetheless. So we try to
kind of progress upwards in that chart towards a general education setting. um students who we may not be able to meet the needs for in our programs. They might have more specific um or greater uh disabilities might need some specialized help and specialized schools
out of district placements, but we're trying to keep those students if we can in our programs and find ways to support them better here. Again, that's working towards that mindset of the least restrictive environment and try to get those students the help that they need, but then bring them back in district.
And that's why I have those little arrows there to bring them back. Um, homebound instruction would be a situation where we have students maybe that are um, maybe not suited for a specialized school already for a school itself or any program and we might need
to provide them homebound instruction and we would do that. We try to also set that up so that there's a plan so that they will ultimately be able to move back into the classroom, come back into the school. And in some cases, there are more serious cases where students need to be hospitalized or in a residential
facility, but that you see there template pretty much goes from the most restrictive, the residential facility up on to the general education classroom. Finally, this is the last slide. Um, this is our now 18 to 21 uh year old
program. So, students may finish their high school, their senior year, so to speak, but not quite graduate yet, be able to stay with us until they're 21. Um, if they are not quite uh capable of, you know, graduating and on their own,
getting into the workforce or being able to uh support themselves. So, we have a work-based learning program that is outstanding. It's I have the picture of Mr. Durac and Mrs. Seattle as superheroes up there and they rightfully so should be recognized as that for a
number of reasons. I know it's kind of hard to read that small print. Um but I know that there was an email that's a couple uh parents had referenced them as superheroes for what they have achieved. And just to point out a couple things at the bottom of that, if you can't read
the last two bullets, Mrs. Seattle herself um was asked to present uh at a uh the bottom one at the 10ount K to2 annual summit on successful uh techniques for secondary transition
programming for this particular program at other schools and a lot of these other schools have come here to our school now to see what we're doing um because they're so impressed and amazed by all of that. In addition to that, Mrs. Dialo also was uh presented the
transition educator of the year award at um the facing the future conference October 10th in New Brunswick by the New Jersey Association of People Supporting Employment. She is just there's not enough I could say to kind of uh really
build her up. She's just amazing. They work extremely well together uh Mr. Durac and Mrs. Seattle because of their personalities. um they are just great compliments to each other and do a wonderful job with that program. Can't say enough about it. But obviously we
are preparing our kids from prek uh all the way on up. And this program here in itself is getting kids out into the community and really helping them to be able to get off on the run. If you some of those bullets, I won't read them all, but I the one in the middle of the
picture there is actually the student waving was a former student of ours that went through the program like the student in the vest and is now training one of our students. So, he's been successful to maintain that career, that
job, and now is training our students. So, that was just an amazing thing in itself why I thought that was an appropriate picture of what the program is doing. Um there are other things to where students are super excited about getting their FICO score up for applications to try and get apartments
on their own and live on their own. Uh there are other students that are uh getting internships and hospitals as well as being able to go out into the community and work in the workforce and other types of agencies of blue collar and white collar jobs as well. So, it's
just an amazing um program and I think overall our special education programs are doing tremendously well. Yes, there are some things we need to continue to build upon, but there always will be. But I'm very proud of it and I'm super proud certainly of Mrs. Short and Mrs. Jackal, all that they have done and I'm
glad to be a part of this team. So, with that being said, I don't know if anyone has any questions with all that I presented tonight. Okay. Well, then thank you very much and thank you again for all of your support as well. [applause] >> All right, with that just uh want to
close out by wishing everybody a merry Christmas, happy holidays, and a happy new year. With that, I will turn it back over. >> Thank you. Um just checking. Do we have to officially do the election results? I know it's number five. It's just as long as it's supposed to, we're good. Okay.
All right. Um, next is president's remarks. Again, uh, few things I just wanted to touch upon. Um, I guess I'll start off. I just again on behalf of the board of education, want to thank you, uh, Miss MSA. Again, um, serving on the board of education is
not, as you know, a simple task. Um, it's rewarding in a lot of ways. Um, you came in this year and right from the get-go can say you were not afraid to ask tough questions. You were not afraid to jump into things. Um, you spoke your mind. You worked well with the group.
Um, and I honestly think every decision and thought that you brought forward was looking at the best interest for not even our students, our staff and our community. Um, so again, I know I know you had a lot going on in your life as we all do, but I know there's a lot of changes in your life this year. And
again, you you were here. You you you know, we had a lot going on. You helped out. And um again, I want to just tell you how appreciative uh the board, myself, um for everything you've done this past year. Greatly appreciated. Um and you know, thank you. Thank you again. Greatly appreciated.
>> Thank you. Am I allowed to say something? >> Absolutely. >> Awesome. Okay. I was like, I don't know if I have to get a public session or I don't know. >> No, absolutely. Um, I just wanted to say thank you to all of you. Um, and also for, I guess, the residents of, um, Barnagget for the opportunity to serve on the board, um, this past year. It's
really been a pleasure working alongside everyone to, um, you know, move the district forward in a positive way. Um, and I I really commend all of you. I commend all of you for the countless hours that you um dedicate to um the
students, the district, and you know, really putting your heart and soul into to moving everything forward for the for Barnagate. Um and I just, you know, I wish you all success in the coming year and I'm sorry I won't be here for it. Um but, you know, you guys are all doing a great job
and um I like everything that I'm seeing and it's um you know, it's been a it's been a really fun year. I appreciate it. >> So, >> all right. Thank you very much. Appreciate it, Kelly. Um, next I wanted to
um I know Dr. Lowis had mentioned this. I I know during the holiday seasons a lot of uh people in Barnagate um companies, individuals, and I know he mentioned a lot of them and I think uh Mr. Towski did that. Again, that's what makes Barnagate to me. Barnagate makes us a family that we are. um people
stepping up, donations, helping out other families, um helping those in need that doesn't, you know, don't have the access that um some of us do. Um again, that that's to me is a is is a great thing to see in your community when people are doing that, organizations are
doing that, um businesses are doing that and I know whenever we need something as a board or you know within the district, um there's always people willing to step up, businesses willing to step up. So again, um greatly appreciated for all those that uh you know, both of you had mentioned. So again, thankful on behalf
of the board. Um I want to thank um on the Christmas cards. I love that. That's that's great from the Collins students. I know we we all got them. That's really cool. So again, thank you on that to to you and your staff and the students there. That was really cool. Um
the Mr. Furantino with your special ed uh presentation and your staff. I know you know we've kind of said in behind closed doors and and stuff and on different committee meetings and different things um
about you know last six seven months we shared it with Dr. Latis as a board um where this program is you know kind of was and where it is now. And again, I I think it's important to, you know, you praise in private sometimes, sometimes you praise in public. Um, again, from
and I I like we said as a board, it starts at the top and give praise to Dr. Iawis working all the way down to Mr. Fantino and his supervisors and the staff and I know there's been a lot of turnover in in the ASUS program specifically. Um, and back last year at
the end of the school year as a board and as a and different committees, I know we put a lot on your plate and your your department's plate as far as um, you know, as well as Dr. La was things that we would like to have seen change, things that we'd like to implement. And you went through a lot of them there
that we kind of brought out and I know a lot of parents brought out. Um, and I could say you you you and your team have hit the nail on all of them. um things are going in a um incredible direction in that department um and and we're greatly appreciative of everything you
and and again administration all throughout because I know it's a team effort. I know each school has their own you know um special ed in it and everyone has their input and so again thank you to everybody that's stepped up that's that's uh you know moved things forward and really made a big change
over the last six seven months. It's it's greatly appreciated and um doesn't go unrecognized. So again, greatly appreciated from the top down um everything that's been done. Um do that and just again as the board um
you know this is the end of the year for the board even though it's not the end of the year of the school. Um you know our terms end um becoming beginning of January. Um again I just want to thank the board members here. I think we have a great group you know people working
together. Um, you know, we it's it's not easy. It's it takes a lot of time. Um, not everybody agrees. We don't always, you know, see things the same way, but it's great. And I, like I said, I I hate going, but I've been on many boards that haven't got along and been in constant
fights. I can tell you this board even though at times we don't agree on things the discussion is respectful is polite is not um you know in any way everyone respects everyone's opinion and which makes it nice it makes it good to to feel hey you know you get to a point
sometimes where you don't want to come to these meetings and sit here and deal with scrutiny and deal with other people but again it's been a great group and again I appreciate it um this is my seventh year serving in the seat um And you know, again, having the right people
with you makes it a lot easier. Definitely a lot easier. So, I appreciative of um this past year and everything with it. And lastly, just want to say thank you to all our staff, our administration, um staff throughout the district on behalf of the board.
Everything you do for our district is greatly appreciated. Um you know, this time of year with the holidays, you know, wish you the best of the holidays. And I want to just point out that I think Mr. Barbieri has the best holiday attire tonight. I love that jacket. Um,
[laughter] you know, enjoy the holidays with your families, with your friends, your loved ones. Um, you know, the New Year's. Um, it's a special time of year and, you know, it's you guys deserve the break, deserve to have some free time to enjoy,
