um some Dr. T, do you have a presentation this evening? >> I'd like to share a few words with the board. >> do. >> Madam President, thank you very much and good evening, Cedar Grove School community. Uh first, I wanted to draw the community's attention to um a blast that we put out as a district
today, this afternoon, advertising four community forums, one at each of our schools, um on Tuesday evenings over the next 4 weeks. Uh that will be an opportunity for all members of the public to come out and learn more about the referendum
vote that's happening on September 15th. Uh the forums will include a presentation by me. The principal of each school will be present and in three of the four forums we'll have our architect team present and then on one of the forums the bond council lead lawyer will also be present to take
any questions that the community members may have. So if you haven't had a chance to visit our website, we have a separate page with a lot of good information about the referendum up there. For those that are interested, I'd like to refer to prefer you to the website. I want to again reiterate to our community all
emails will be responded to. All phone calls will be responded to about any questions that people may have related to the referendum. And so I'm just really doing my darndest to engage as much as I can during these summer months. And I do want to reassure everyone in the community that all of our back to school nights will occur
prior to the vote. So we'll be able to provide information to families on those nights when they're visiting our schools as well. The real goal and priority for us as a district is to just get as much information into the community as possible so you can make an informed decision
come September 15th. And so I wanted to share those comments about our pending referendum and then acknowledge all the hard work of our teachers and power professionals and leaders who have been running our ESY programs these last couple of weeks and our Lego camp
as well. Really appreciate all of their efforts. The programs have been going very smoothly and so we appreciate that. And then lastly just a shout out to our custodial and maintenance staff who have been hard at work the very last day of school
cleaning thoroughly all of our schools, stripping down our floors, and really working tirelessly to get our our classrooms and our schools prepared for the first day of school. So with that I'll I'll end my report and hand it back to you, Madam President. >> Thank you. Thank you very much. I hope
everyone is enjoying the start of their summer. Weather's been pretty cooperative for the most part. Although there is another heat wave coming, so I hope we're all prepared. Um okay, we don't have a lot too much business today, but there will be some
