All right, it's 6 o'clock. Happy New Year. Uh, I'd like to call the meeting to order. We have all board members accounted for besides Joel Lynch. He is going to be gone. And we also have our new student rep, Lily Nelson. So, thank you, Lily. Would all please rise for the
pledge of allegiance. I pledge algiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. There's no we're not going to
call it really any additions to the agenda. We're going to we are going to talk about our uh committee reports right before uh we go to the new committee designations and then we'll also have uh some discussion
over our me ma visit that we did in uh November and then also one thing I wanted to start doing uh this year is right at the very very end just going to kind of call it around the horn that we'll all just go around uh uh with all admin or board
members if there's anything that just want to say of something that's going on in the community or whatever else that you want to have uh people be aware of or whatever else. So, uh if you got nothing, you got nothing. So, uh with that, I will look for a motion to approve the agenda.
>> I will make a motion. >> Pete on the motion. >> Second. >> Luke on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. I >> oppose. Motion carries. All right. Uh first meeting of the year.
This is our organizational meeting. So we will uh elect all of our spots and we will start off with the election of the chair. So I will look for a nomination for board chair.
I would nominate Clinton Chokquist to remain as board chair. Thank you. Luke with a nomination for Clinton. >> I would second that. >> Thank you. Is there any other
nominations for the board chair? Third time. Is there any other nominations for the board chair? All right. Thank you all. I will continue to try to do the best I can to represent all of us in our school. >> I would just note that um and I don't
even want to do this because I don't want his head to get too big, but he's done a great job uh in the short time coming on to the being new to the board and jumping in. You know, I got to see Bob do what Bob did for a long time and was great at it and Clinton has certainly a different style, but um has
been phenomenal. Um I think Jeff maybe there's days where he wears Jeff out maybe, but um that's okay, too. So, uh, thanks for what you do. Clinton is certainly noticed. >> No, no, he doesn't. He is great. >> Yeah, I second that. >> Thank you very much.
>> Yeah, thanks. >> All right. Uh, we'll move on to the election of the vice chairman/treasurer uh delegating statutory duties to the office of business affairs. I will look for a nomination.
I'll nominate Luke, the current vice chair, treasurer. >> I second that. >> Okay, we have Luke nominated for the vice chair and treasurer. Uh, second time. Any other nominations for
vice chairman, treasurer? Third time. Any other nominations for vice chairman treasurer? Congratulations, Luke. You remain my sidekick. >> Also can't wait for that.
>> I'd rather duke it out with on a daily basis. >> Exactly. >> Thanks, guys. >> All right. Uh, next one. Election of the clerk delegating statutory duties to the office of business affairs. I would look for a nomination for the election of
clerk. >> I would just know I did talk to Jolyn. She seems up for it again. So I guess if that >> that would be my nomination is to >> Is that your nomination? >> That is Jolin to continue. >> Appreciate that. >> Yeah. Thanks.
>> Yep. I'll second that. >> Second time. Is there any other nominations for election of clerk? Third time. Any other nominations for election of clerk? All right, Joe Lynn will remain the
clerk. Now, do we have to go through and actually do a motion and second on all those three or we we're good with the >> Nope, you're good. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> All right. We'll move on to letter B. Uh
this will be determining if we have either two meetings per month uh or one meeting per month and when they would all take place and what time. So we have had some discussion on that
uh previously. Currently right now we do two meetings per month on the second and the fourth Monday uh with only one meeting being scheduled during May, June, July,
August, September and December or we will look at going to one meeting per month. Um Jeff and Lori and I have had started some discussions about this kind of I don't know quite a few months
ago just because there is there is certain uh times where it's kind of a struggle to put an agenda together where the pledge of allegiance takes up half the meeting. So um I guess my recommendation would be is
that we look at going to one meeting per month. uh knowing that there might be some special more special meetings which I I think that we can all handle if needed. Uh we just got to make sure the communication's out there for staff if
they have anything that needs to get uh approved that they are well aware that it's a monthly meeting. Uh but if there's definitely if there's ever anything that's in quite important and timesensitive that we can look at doing a special meeting for. So, um, that's
just my thoughts. I mean, >> I I tend to agree. I think as far as the community goes, too, I think it'll be easier for the community to know when our meetings are, you know, if it's always first weekend or first Monday and of whatever it is, I think versus two meetings. Um, I think it makes sense.
And then on top of that, unfortunately for this group, we've had a lot of special meetings for different reasons, but we've had to call those and they've all been able to be, you know, to we've never had a a quorum issue. We, you know, at least to this point things change. But >> to Clint's point, we we do have a lot of
meetings that are 15 minutes and, you know, we could handle those. I think one meeting a month. Yeah. My >> this would go into effect February. So we start >> uh we would start. So here's the the calendar uh proposed
>> board meeting calendar >> uh for the one meeting a month. Uh the other one that we have in the board packet is for two meetings as or what we normally have >> uh currently. So this will be the the one meeting a month. uh we have to have a separate meeting for organizational
meeting uh called the first Monday and then we would start January 26 and it would be seen as the fourth Monday of each month. Uh however in May and in uh I believe December we'd still have it be the third Monday.
>> Okay, makes sense. Lori, for you it's I I know we have to approve certain things at certain times to make sure we get them submitted in time. I I would imagine that would change a few things for you potentially just to make sure we get those done, but that is that an issue or
should >> No. Being the fourth Monday will be a work. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Cool. >> Uh Mr. Strauss, do you have any this affect much? No, I I see what you guys are saying how you had to call on every single person here to give a two-minute
field to make the minute last 12 minutes couple maybe. So, I totally get where you guys are coming from with that. >> All right. If uh there's no more discussion, I guess I'd look uh for a motion on one way or the other, whether it's one meeting per month or two.
>> I'd like to make a motion for one meeting per month. Jody on the motion for one meeting per month. >> I will second that. >> Pete on the second. Any other discussion?
All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. >> Motion carries. And that will be at 6 PM right here at 8:20 East Minnesota Street, Canon Falls. Lori, we got a typo. It says Canyon.
Come on. See if you're right. >> On the agenda. >> On the agenda. >> So, Canon Falls and uh right here in our boardroom unless uh stated elsewhere. Okay. Moving on to letter C, designated
designation of the official newspaper. We have uh one paper in town. Uh I guess I would recommend going with the Canon Falls Beacon. Any other suggestions? >> So I will look for a motion.
>> I'll make a motion to stick with the canfalls beacon as our official paper. Randy with a motion for the Cannon Falls beacon. I'll second Luke on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I.
>> I. >> Oppose. >> Motion carries. The official posting place for the schoolboard meetings uh notices which is currently in the district office. I think we would like to keep that the
same. >> Yes. So, I would look for a motion to approve the official posting place for the schoolboard meeting notices in the district office. >> I'll make a motion. >> Pete on the motion. >> I'll second. >> Jody on the second. Any other
discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose. >> Motion carries. Uh, this next one we already approved back in July, correct? So, we do not need a motion and a second on this one.
>> That is correct. Uh, this was already done in July because work cuts were made prior to the vote and we typically do it during this meeting. So, we'll just skip this agenda item for now. >> All right. Move on to letter F. Designation of the depository in accordance with Minnesota statute
118A.02. >> Uh, we do have a rotation of banks if you're if you remember that from last year. And um we have the district office checking account that is currently at First Farmers
and our activity account is at community resource bank. And so this is the schedule that we that the district came up with years ago. All right. I'd look for a motion to keep
the current depository schedule in place. >> I'll make a motion. >> Pete on the motion. >> I'll second. >> Randy on the second. Any other discussion? >> I just one question. We in finance
committee, we changed this one of these, right? Didn't we too? the student activity account. >> Yeah. And that just went from we just had that in one bank. Now we're >> Yeah. And now we're diversified that as well.
>> Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppos. Motion carries. Letter G, designation of the board's legal counsel and authorized contacts. We use Ratwick, Rosac, and Maloney. The
superintendent, superintendent, district office personnel, and schoolboard chairman are the authorized contacts. I guess I've been happy with our legal counsel. Um, so I would look to continue on with them
and I would look for a motion for that. >> I'll make the motion to continue as is with Ratwick, Roswick, and Maloney. >> Luke on the motion. I'll second. >> Jody on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I.
>> I. >> Oppos. >> Motion carries. Establish the annual salary for members. Currently, we are at $1,250 per year per member. Half paid on June
15th, half on December 15th. negotiators are paid an additional $250 and alternate negotiators are paid an additional $125 per year. So, this is always a fun one to talk
about. Um, I guess I just want to state that I I'm going to recommend that we uh keep that the same this year, but also just bring attention to I don't know if you guys look through some of
the examples and stuff that were uh put in there compared to uh what other districts uh are receiving. I guess I would state maybe possibly looking at this in the future next year,
bumping it up a little bit, just trying to keep up. Um, this I know a lot of us, myself included, didn't know that you even got paid before you got on the board. Um, but your time is definitely worth something or at least your travel
at least to cover expenses to get here. So that's something to uh always consider and I think we are all here for the right reasons and and put our time in accordingly. Uh but something we probably look at in the future is of
upping that just a little bit. So there's anything else anyone else would like to add or else I would look for a motion for one way or the other. I'll make a motion to keep it at the current rate it's at.
>> Okay. Any motion? >> I'll second. >> Luke on the second. >> Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed. >> Motion carries.
Payroll authorization for the use of faximile signature on payroll and voucher checks in accordance with MDS >> Minnesota statute >> there. There you go. >> Good team.
>> Brand new >> 47.41 and 47.42. >> Any other? >> It's basically description. It's a It's basically an electronic signature instead of handwritten signatures. >> Okay. >> Call it auto pen.
>> Careful. >> Careful. >> All right. Look for a motion to approve that. >> I'll make a motion. >> Jody on the motion. >> I have a second. >> Pete on the second. Any other
discussion? All in favor say I. I. Oppose. Motion carries. Resolution for combined polling place. This resolution is no longer necessary on an annual basis basis. It's only recommended or required. I Gosh, this is
a bad one. It is only re required if the school district changes the polling location. The resolution will remain on future agendas for tracking purposes only. I recommend not changing our polling location as it is currently for the
combined at city hall for special elections. >> So, we can just skip that for now. Moving on to K. Authorization allowing the superintendent to approve purchases up to $10,000.
I believe this has been in effect for >> quite a few years. Um, and $10,000 is plenty. I guess I I can't think of any instances where we even come close to that. Can you Josh? >> No. And this doesn't want to be a
nonbudgeted item. So, >> right. With budgeted items that are above the 10,000 that's already budgeted for. So, >> didn't we do Oh, sorry. Go ahead. >> This would be for like emergency. >> Yeah. Didn't we do something different for construction projects though or did we meet every time we did that? Be a separate
>> That'd be separate. Yeah. Since the construction project is done, we won't need to have that schedule anymore. >> So, I would look for a motion for authorization allowing the superintendent to approve purchases up to $10,000. >> I'll make the motion to
continue as is with the $10,000 limit. >> Luke on the motion. I'll second >> Randy on the second. Any other discussion? All in favor say I. >> I. >> Oppose.
Motion carries. Designation of superintendent as the LEA which is the local education agent representatives in the OWA for 2526. consideration to approve the designation of the identified official with
authority for the MDE external user access reertification system. The Minnesota Department of Education, which is the MDE, requires that school districts annually designated an identified official with authority to comply with the MNIT enterprise identity
and access management standard, which states that all user access rights to Minnesota State Systems must be reviewed and reertified at least annually. The identified official with a uh with authority will assign job duties and authorize external users access to MDD
MDE secure systems for their local agency or local education agency which is the LEA. The board recommends to authorize Jeff Samson to act as the identified official with authority which is the Iowa with Lori Anderson or Lori
Hansen to act as the OWA to add and remove names for Cannon Falls area schools uh district 252. >> So this basically gives our employees access to secure systems on the MDE
website to allow them to do that basically. So, and then I have to assign all those out. >> So, I would look for a motion to approve that. >> No, I'm not going to read it. >> I'll make a motion to maintain Jeff as
the designated LEA >> in OWA with Lori >> Hansen. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. >> Laura knew what you meant. Keep her short and sweet >> with Lori Hansen. >> Yes. >> Uh, look for a second. >> I'll second.
>> Jody in a second. >> You should probably run that around resolution. >> Resolution. >> And I don't have my >> You can I'll believe in you. >> So I don't have to read it again. >> Voting. >> Okay. All right. Luke,
>> yes. >> Jody, >> yes. >> Randy, >> yes. >> Pete, >> yes. And I'm a yes. 50. All right. Before we get into committee assignments, then I want to go over just committee reports from uh last month. if
anyone has anything that they would like to add on their committees. We we had our WETAC meeting right before the holidays and it was more just around the funding that was coming into Canon for security. They were doing some project for security cameras. There's a grant that years ago apparently in the
last administration was given and they're now deploying all those funds for security cameras and technology updates to support those. So Ken was sounds like he just wrapped those up right before the holidays. So that was our last update that impact our district.
>> Okay. >> Thank you. >> We go ahead. >> Go ahead. Um we've had a couple edition meetings. Um they continue to raise great funds and support our school
and community, you know, really well. and um teachers are a lot of teachers are given some great things that maybe aren't um in regular budgeted items. So um we thank them for that. They're um a great
supporter of the school. And then we also have had a couple ed community ed meetings and I know our last meeting we went through and approved the survey for um looking at what the community thinks of the possibility of bomber care and
wraparound care. So, I won't talk about that too much because I know we discussed it last meeting, but um that's what's going on with community ed and the ed foundation. >> Thank you. >> Um and I had um a staff development and
um oh, and the district advisory um meeting. And both of them there's really no updates. They're just continuing. They have they hope to have more come Jan this month. So for the next
month so everything's on track. >> Okay. >> I'll add that we had a transport or transportation meeting uh discussing if you remember last year we did not uh we had to cancel our bus. Uh we're
looking at getting back on track with that as uh as well as we have some uh quite a few vans that are uh really getting out of shape uh getting older out of miles. So uh looking over the possibility of getting some more
vans. Uh there's been discussion on whether we get one bus or we get two to get get rate us back to where we're keeping on schedule or uh if we go with one bus and possibly some more vans because uh the vans are what's kind of deteriorating a
lot uh quicker. So, uh there will be another uh there should be for the next meeting there'll be a recommendation coming from the uh transportation committee on how we move forward. So, uh or what we're looking at doing going
forward. Uh and then also just kind of tying that in with some facilities. Uh we a few of us did did a walk through at the bus garage. uh bus garage is in rough shape. So really
rough shape. So whether it's uh the office or if it's the shop or if it's the buildings itself. So we pre preliminarily kind of started looking at uh what some costs would be to
either rebuild portions of it or the whole thing or make some modifications. So uh that will be something that we have a facilities meeting coming up next week. So there will be some more discussion on that. Uh as well as
finance. There's going to be a finance meeting which that will all tie in together because it'll be talking about using those potential data center uh money coming in and how that's going to be used. So but bus garage could be possibly one option uh with how we use
some of the funds. also talked about uh soccer doesn't quite really have just an a good game field. So, we had we've had some discussion about putting a little bit of work into the current practice uh football field out there and
making that a game ready field. So that is also one other thing that's been kind of discussed on the facility level and discussions will continue to move forward. >> Question on if we were may and if we get to this next week that's fine but the or
the next meeting on the bus if we add one back does that bring back the routes then? So does that we're going to add back in a new route? Is that the intent or >> No, I think it's just uh buying that bus to keep us on schedule for making sure
that we're not getting back on leasing because uh as we were getting off our leases that we had with our buses, the idea was to start buying them. >> Yep. >> Individually, if you remember. >> Yep. Yep. I recall that. >> Um and so, uh there hasn't been any talk
about bringing back that route that we cut. >> Okay. right now, but it's just getting back on track with our purchasing for the schedule that we have. >> All right. All right. Anything else want to be added for committees?
Okay. Uh then we'll go to uh a little bit of discussion on our MA visit which was back in November. My fault for forgetting about it for a couple meetings. Uh new membership. We joined there last
year, correct? So this was the second conference that um we've been a part of. I guess MA is kind of more uh up our alley with smaller rural schools and uh
having discussion with uh other schools and other school leaders uh talking through very similar conflicts that we have or situations or whatever else. So uh I don't know if anyone wants to kind of
talk a little bit about what they thought there or what they learned. Yeah, I mean I thought it was a great conference. I uh I I guess I would just make note on one of the breakout uh sessions that I went to was AI in the classroom. I thought because I don't
really understand AI, so I was trying to learn about it and what it meant. And it was interesting because there were some teachers in there. >> You sent me some things that were made by AI. >> Yeah, that's true. Yeah, I'm learning. And um uh it was interesting. And it was really cool because it was I think there
were some teachers in there that were um interested as well as what it meant for them and what it meant for their careers. But the the person put on a presentation was a professor from Winona State and she was just talking about how you can use it as a tool to make your job more efficient. And whether it was
presentations, lessons plans or one example she had was she was using AI or chat GBT to um modify um uh math question like uh what do you
call them? They're spelled like word problems. Word problems, story problems. And it was more so so she had kids that dreaded story problems, couldn't figure them out, was terrified to even start reading them. She was changing the names to Justin Jefferson and Justin Jefferson
catches seven balls and whatever and or he catches, you know, for 10 yards but it's a penalty, whatever. And just different ways to get kids. And then she she found out she was having kids that were actually looking for the problems and trying to like trying to figure them out versus being terrified of of even
starting them, which was really cool. And she would use specific names like the students names or classmates names in the problems too. It got kids to dive in versus putting up a, you know, a barrier. Um, which is pretty cool. Um, but she said, yeah, just a tool to be
more efficient when there was lesson planning, drafting emails to parents, you know, and and she was very clear and said, you know, there's lots of errors that happen in in these programs. But um I thought it was a way of hopefully if our teachers are using it, they can use
it and save some time, get some of their time back that we all know they put in extra time and and uh which I thought was interesting. So >> yeah, I agree. I think it was it was very well aligned to what our district is. So you mentioned that, right? And
even if we were on the upper threshold of the size of some of those districts, I mean, you go into some of those breakout sessions and there's districts obviously much smaller than us, but their needs don't change. They're more aligned to what we're doing and how one of the breakout sessions I went to was around the differentiator of classes
that they get to offer. Right? So, you think about our innovation lab, our shop. So, what I'd consider non-traditional or some some programs that are getting cut at larger districts because they're very it can be very expensive. districts our size and even some smaller ones were gaining attendance because of that. They they
had an uptick in attendance because their kids are more aligned to a shop class, a welding class. Um so it was interesting to hear their take on it and how they are kind of marketed into that and really being similar what we do here. Um so I I agree. I think it was a great alignment with what our district
size needs we have. Yeah, I'll piggyback on that and just say I mean, yeah, going to a conference. I mean, we go to the large MSBA conference each year, too, but it's great to go to a conference with all schools our sizes and kind of talk and
network with other um district leaders. I thought it was interesting there's teachers there, too, and to to get their feedback and stuff. Um, we also sat down with some college grads or going to be college grads that, you know, is just a great informal area to talk to teachers
and stuff and um, new teachers that were coming on and get their um, opinions on some, you know, what's new and upcoming, what they're learning in college and stuff like that. Um, and what they could bring to the table for, you know, a new
perspective for young perspective to our school. So, it's very interesting. >> Yeah, I think you walked away with a dozen applications or so. It was cool. >> That was a lot of fun. It was >> a lot of kind of quick short inter uh
almost like an interview uh with these uh but very informal college graduates and they were very engaging which is great. >> Yeah. Made her more comfortable and spoke more openly. So, that was interesting. >> When we join groups like this, what's a typical do we do? memberships by the
year or what's typically the renewal? >> Yeah, we have a a membership that's renewed is it July 1 usually? >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> And then probably the other one, the other breakout session that I know Randy
and I went to, he was there too, uh was the 4-day school week, uh which we were all interested in because it was part of our potential cuts that were going to happen here. Um it was interesting. um you know their their
school district covered three towns and 350 square miles. So most of their savings was was from cutting that cutting a day out of that transportation essentially. Um and I Pete and I I think we check our area. I don't remember what
the square miles were, but >> it was like a half less than half. >> It was considerably less. So it was pretty easy to see where they were getting the cost savings for. They It was interesting because they were really excited about it. They loved it. Their whole community loved it. >> Um they said the first year was rough. I
think took some time to get used to it. >> Um and they just put an emphasis on if we're doing it, you have to be in school those four days. You can't, you know, unless you're terribly sick or whatever, but you can't, you know, even family vacations are tough when you're when you're taking out a day. Um, I thought
that was interesting >> for students and teachers across the board. You know, they make it important for teachers to know to take make their appointments on that their day off was Monday. So, make your appointments on Monday so that you're not taking uh PTO days or whatever. And then same with
students make, you know, and the town wrapped around that too and um set aside appointment times for students and teachers on those days. >> Yeah. One of the things they said several times were the the nights at home were short because you're going a little later and then you have
activities, but Sundays were great because you had you weren't in school on Monday, so you had time with family. >> Um, and we asked about um why Monday? So, they were off on Mondays and why not Fridays? just
naturally Friday seemed like, but they said attendance would show that Mondays are a bad day for kids to be or they miss a lot on Mondays. So if you gave them the Monday off, >> that was a way to, you know, because a lot of times on Fridays there's events.
So whether it's football or whatever, so they're they're, you know, >> maybe more motivated to show up. >> I'd say in general there's probably a lot less events on Monday nights as well. And they said they don't plan any they do have some events on Mondays, but they don't do any junior high practices,
anything like that. Um, >> yeah, they said the teachers like Monday because it's a prep day, right? And then you get into the week versus keeping it as a Sunday, you go right into the week and Fridays. I thought it was interesting they picked Monday. I mean, it made sense in how they deployed it, but >> Yeah. Yeah. >> because teachers were off a majority of
those Mondays as well. Um, they used some of those days as their staff development days, but teachers were off most of those days as well. and they one of the items they were able to keep or continue to go on with was uh their fax program. So they were saving money, but
they were able to keep programs like that that aren't required by the state but are important and I think we would all love to have it back here someday. But um so to allow them to to do that, which was interesting. >> The other one that I thought was an
interesting one that they talked to that they had to work through was how they do fundraising. >> Yeah. So you they go down to that and so they go down to was it four that's it regardless of the program. So they only do four fundraisers across the across the year. They said it took multiple years to figure out which four are they
going to pick and then how they designate that money. They want the the clubs or or the groups to come to them and ask you need new jerseys, you need new equipment, whatever it is. But I think I don't know how many years they said it took them to figure that out. Yeah. Cornell that one week they they didn't think that that was going to be
an impact and going down to that cut that down was they honestly think it was just >> but it sounded like they had huge community support for those four >> only four. So essentially they would do like a large event like a color run and the whole town or all three towns would show up and it was a great community
event because you had everybody gathered and then you weren't you know every activity wasn't asking local businesses. It was really cool. It's a little bit off base what we're talking about, but it was very interesting. >> Super interesting. >> I mean, again, that's why this conference is good because it's schools
our size, you know, just getting ideas of what would would work and some things of course are not going to work for our school, but some things could and just opens your eyes to things that we maybe didn't think about. >> And then I think the other thing uh Stephen would probably be interested in this there they have a crazy amount of
applicants when they have a opening. So when there's an opening, they get people that want that four day and they get >> Yeah. I don't remember what the numbers were. >> They It was something Yeah. Something like they got four that before four applicants for one position before they
um went to this and then now they get anywhere from 20 to 30 applicants per position, which is great, right, for the school to have that pick of many applicants. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'll just add to um the speaker, opening closing speaker was Joe
Beckman. I know we've all seen him here. Um he's great and he's just reminds us that public schools are important, you know, and they're good for human connection and great for students to attend public schools. And I just love that he um is he does a good job of
sharing that message about public schools and to be excited about public schools and where they're headed and um that they're needed. All right, good discussion. So, we will move on to letter M, committee assignments.
Uh, everything is shown who's on what for this last year. Is there anyone that would like to make any changes? The one thing that I was going to look at doing is removing one alternate for the GCED
position. I'm good with what I got. >> I'm good with what where I'm at. >> I'm happy to drop off. I don't think I've participated in that as an alternate. So, >> I would have to agree. >> Yeah.
Yeah. I'm personally I'm fine with where I fall on here. I um I think there's some things in the work that I would like to continue on with, you know, within that committee. Um, on top of that, I did ask Jolyn about GCED, uh,
because there's travel there. I mean, terribly. But, uh, and she's she was good with continuing, too. So, >> well, I was just going to say now's the opportunity. Joan's not here, so load her up. >> She has brought up for
>> I'm happy where I'm at, too. I um feel like I'm just now finally learned the learned the position. So now I can offer >> That's where like I I think it's good for everyone to move around a little bit, but also at the same time I think it takes probably a couple years to kind of get a full understanding.
>> Yep. Yeah. That's where I'm like I don't think where I at. I'd like to be able to know more and learn more. >> All right. Uh Lori, I don't need a motion or second for that. Right. >> Just making sure I'm following your
rules. >> I'll let you know. Okay. So basically the only one thing we're going to change is we're just going to remove Pete as a alternate for the GCD. Else we will keep everything else as is.
