So next up we have communications and first and, most importantly, we have recognition of our safety and security specialist. Pete? Tassie? Tassie. I was gonna say. You're gonna have to pronounce that last name for me. Tassie. Well, if you wanna go around, I'll just say a few words. We are are very pleased to have an amazing security team, and that became very
evident on a day before the winter break when Pete had to jump into action to support a student who was choking. Parents, parents were there, and brought the child into Pete, who had stopped breathing, had blue lips. And, Pete, is a former police officer, obviously, highly trained, and, just went into action. And so, Pete, we're extremely proud and thankful for you, and, obviously, our district owes
you that gratitude as do all of our students. So thank you. Yes. Thank you so much. I kinda made you and, I'm a partner I kinda made you and, my partner back here. I promise when you hired me that the teachers are there to teach kids and send them home with more knowledge. And our job is to make sure that anything else goes on when we deal with it. Yeah. That's what we're there for. And you and you proved it that day. Yeah. And going into action was perfect. I mean, that was exactly you just you just did what you had to do. So thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Makes us feel better knowing you're there. Yes. It does. That's that's that's our goal. Right? Yes. Well, Pete, thank you very much. Thanks. We appreciate it. Yeah. Well deserved. I did not have the next one on. Yes. No. You didn't. January is board appreciation month, and it is really important that we recognize, the hard work of of our board and board members across the state. It is a, thankless job, and to, serve as a board member because of needless
to say, very few people come forward when you're doing great things, and, not many people come forward when you're not or when you're doing good things. So, I think it's, just really incumbent that we pause for a moment and just thank you, all of our board members. I'm sorry that Nicole is not here tonight, to hear. We have a resolution that's passed every year, which I'm trying to find and probably won't put my hands on it, and you're probably happy for that. I do not like you. Yeah. I and I meant to print it. But, anyways, there is a resolution that the governor signs every year that outlines, all
of the things that school board members are responsible for and how thankful we are to have people across our state who serve in that capacity. So we have a little token of appreciation for you. We'll Very customized, token of appreciation for you to thank you for the work that you do each and every day, and I'll spare you reading the resolution. But thank you. Yes. Thank you. And thank you, Dave. We'll we'll save your your, gift until you come back. Here's I don't know. Let's see. Oh, is that a pony? No. That is not a pony. No ponies. Sorry.
Thank you. You don't have to clean up after it. It. Anyways Yeah. Even better. So thank you all for all that you do for our districts. We certainly are much better off as a result of your leadership. So You know what? The kids and the families in our district are cool. I completely agree. Yep. And we have great team. Yes. We absolutely do. We appreciate you. It's about you. The coolest. Sorry. It's non staff appreciation. Yeah. It's a great appreciation. Alright. So thank you. Thank you, Jeff. Yes. Alright. So, you know, since we're under communications, why don't we just take a minute if
anybody has anything they'd like to bring up? I just wanted to, point out that we have another fundraiser for Elizabeth Education Foundation tomorrow night or tomorrow during the day. It's at, the Parker Chick fil a and so if you go in just say that you are there for, the fundraiser for Elizabeth Education Foundation, and then they will credit part of the sales of your thing to, to to EEF. And EEF does, I've said it before, but just to as a reminder. So they, fund things for the Elizabeth schools such as the teacher grant program and
the, senior scholarships and also the STARS Awards, which, will be, you know, will be looking for nominations from teachers very soon on that. So, the the Stars Banquet this year is gonna be on April 11. And, so we'll begin working on that soon. But anyway, so that's one of the fundraisers that helps to support all that, and so we will appreciate you eating at Chick fil A tomorrow. Who needs an excuse? Yeah. Really. But don't forget to tell them that you're there for that because they usually have
several fundraisers going on on the same day. Thank you. I will just say, it's been a busy start of of this calendar year. We had teacher training last Monday and, had teachers, spend time looking at direct explicit instruction and how to plan effectively for that. And so we had two trainers that Zach Rochelle, sent in his stead. He was unable to be here, but he sent two of his colleagues to, provide that training, and it was extremely well received. So So we're very fortunate. We also had some training for our social studies teachers at the secondary level, middle
and high school, from doctor Kranwitter. Doctor Kranwitter, has put together a collection original documents from history Mhmm. And has provided that to our, high school and middle school, social studies teachers so that they can actually use original documents in their education. Documents. Actually, exposing students to original documents in their education. Actually exposing students to what original documents said versus what a book might summarize them. So we were excited, to be able to offer that. And, while it was really taking up, almost the whole day for our social studies
teachers because they then left that and came to our, planning session. Really heard some good things from our social studies teachers about the resource and how it's going to really support them. So That's exciting. So we were excited, and it was a a busy day of training, but, we're off to a good start. Our I Ready data has come in. We should have our high school math, I Ready data, hopefully, by the end of day to to Thursday or Friday, and we'll get that to you as well to review. But we are starting to meet with teachers. So we had a whole day. Today at Running Creek where, the iReady folks were here with our staff and with
our principals to really dig into the data, look at what it's what it's showing us, what we're doing well at, what we need to do better at, how we can support students who may have some learning deficits. And, so that was a great day today, and that's happening across the district in all of our our schools where teachers are are really digging into the data with the experts. That's good. So So they're here pretty much all week then. They're here they're here certainly in the next few days. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. So but anyways, I'll keep it short. Alright. Just a reminder, we have our spelling bee.
Tomorrow night? Mhmm. Tomorrow night at the middle school. District spelling bee. It's four to eight. Is it? I think they just I think that much time, and that's all the information I was given, but I don't know. Because I'm pretty sure it's not till eight. It won't. I'm sure that's where it's still the old purposes for cleanup. Yeah. You know, it might be that last year, they I mean, the students just rocked it. They went on for quite a while. Yes. It did. Is that a sandwich? Yeah. Pretty much. Yeah. Pack a lunch. Bring your own lunch. Yeah. So I'm gonna be there tomorrow. Alright. With that, next up, we have public comments.
And it's not a topic on the agenda, so if you wanna move it out from now. That's fine. We don't have any other public comment. Okay. Misty? Sugar Ridge. Okay. It won't let you say that. Misty, when you come up, if you would just push the button down until the lights light up, that'd be great. Hey, everybody. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Sends everybody an email as well. So Yes. You're gonna have to hold the button down for a minute, I think. Just until you see numbers. Yeah. Okay. I see numbers. Yes. There we go. Okay. Perfect. Thank you. Alright. You know, you you guys had made a comment at the at the beginning of this meeting about, you know, being, you know, appreciated.
And, you know, I I put this at the end of my my conversation or at the end of my speech here, but I I just wanna thank you guys so much for for everything that you guys do on a daily basis. You know, my my sister is on a school board in a in a small town here in Colorado, and and, you know, I I've she also doesn't get thanked enough as well. And and so thank you guys from the bottom of my heart as a parent for what you guys do. Like, it it truly, truly means it means the world. So thank you. Thank you. Each and every one of you. So I'd like to start by reading, hello and good evening, members of the school
board. My family and I moved to Elizabeth just short of two years ago. We moved here to get our young daughter out of the city life. We love the schools, our tight knit community, and the morals and values the schools have upheld. I hope and pray that never changes. This letter is written to the organization and to the individuals suing Elizabeth School District. As an American Christian family, hearing of this lawsuit was incredibly disheartening and disappointing. What right do you have as parents to have filth in our schools for our children to read? How dare you?
If you want your kids to have access to a diverse array of reading material, do in your own home. This is inappropriate smut. When did kids stop being able to be kids? Why can't we just have books in schools like doctor Seuss, Where the Wild Things Are, Magic Treehouse to name a a few, age appropriate material? For the folks in the community here tonight that haven't heard what books are being thought to be allowed in our schools the last two years or need a refresher, please allow me to give you one. I would also encourage everybody on this call and watching our video to check the
updates on the Elizabeth School District website. I would like to read a couple of the paragraphs from these books. One of the book is one of the books is called The Hate You Give, pub published in 2017 and inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. Fooling around isn't new for us, and when Chris slipped his hand into my shorts, I didn't think anything of it. Then he got me going, and I wasn't really thinking at all. For real, my thought process went out the door. And right as I was at the moment, he stopped, reached into his pocket, and
pulled out a condom. The next book. The Bluest Eye contains themes like rape, incest, racism, and self hatred. Google says this book is recommended for older teens 17 and older. The confused mixture of his memories of of Pauline and the doing of a wild and forbidden thing excited him, and a bolt of desire ran down his genitals, giving it length and softening the lips of his anus. Surrounding all this lust was a border of politeness. He wanted to f her tenderly.
This is what is being fought to stay in our schools and our libraries. And as a parent, I say no. Where do these books contain educational value? How in any way is any parent okay with this? Can we continue to just let our kids be kids? Period. I will continue to speak up every month in support of our school district and for parents everywhere. I stand by the district in their motto that says students are at the heart of everything we do. This cannot be allowed to happen. Thank you again so much to the board for your time, and thank you for
doing what's right for our kids and protecting our kill kids. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I really appreciate you joining tonight. Do you want me to turn this off? Sure. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. So next up, we have the consent agenda. Items eight one through eight five. I move that the board approved consent items eight one through eight five as presented. Can I get a second? Second. And no discussion here. So can I get a word call? Director Callahan? Aye. Director Fletcher? Aye. Mister Olson? Aye. Mister Powell? Aye.
Okay. So now we're moving on to action items, and the first item on our agenda is the classified salary schedule updates. Do you wanna talk about this? Do a motion first, or do you want me to talk first? You know what? Let me do the motion first. Okay. So I move that the board approve the newly updated classified salary schedules. Second. Okay. So we caught, we've had we've had some pretty significant turnover in our preschool ranks, over the last couple of months. And and most of it's been because of people finding jobs that are are much higher paying. It made us, take a step back and look at our salary scale and and
realize that, we are requiring two, similarly, certified individuals in the room even though we paid one as a teacher and one as a teacher assistant. They both have to meet the teacher preschool teacher certification requirements, for early childhood, and realize that why are we paying them differently when both of them have to have similar certification. And so we also looked at jobs in the area where we were losing people
to, who were leaving us to make 3 and $4 more an hour, doing things that didn't impact kids, that didn't impact, you know, shaping and planning for preschoolers. So, we made a decision that we really wanted to improve those salaries because we don't want, revolving door at our preschools. We really want to keep that. Our children deserve that stability. We really want to keep that. Our children deserve that stability. And so this scale, moves our preschool staff up, into a higher range, that is far more competitive with the jobs that we know that we've lost people to.
We've already had very positive outcome from just communicating with our staff about this desired change. So that's that's part of the the change that you see here. We also had some positions, that, were left off. And so we've tried to clean up and make sure that every position was on this, salary scale. So, financially, the impact is minimal, but it's the right thing to do for our staff, and we believe this will lead to some stability in our preschool classrooms. The preschool, I mean, they work hard.
Yeah. They put their heart into it. It's, you know Yeah. I mean, you're stuck with dealing with kids. Used to be you could have one certified and one not. Licensure has changed. When you have somebody out, you have to have a licensed teacher in the room. So we really have shifted our practice to say why would we have two one unlicensed person in the room? Because you want somebody who's familiar with children to continue to lead the learning for the day. And and so that's when we changed our expectation, but we didn't change our our scale to meet it. So this is the right thing to do, and and, like I said, financially, Justin
has analyzed this. It's it's a minimal impact, but we do feel it will have a a major impact on the stability of our preschool classrooms. That's good. So any further discussion? Alright. Can I get a roll call? Richard Feldman. Bart. Richard Fletcher. Aye. Richard Wilson. Aye. Richard Paul. Aye. So next up, we have the application for the Buhl Foundation early childhood grant. So I move that the board approved the grant application of the Buhl Foundation early childhood of grant? This is a grant that we've, received multiple times.
This is the Buhl Foundation has really, been very supportive of our infant toddler program. This is a grant that we have the opportunity to apply again for to continue to expand on our services and improve our, facilities. This particular one, we're looking at, increasing some security cameras in our preschool and toddler area, as well as some playground equipment, for that program. And so it's a $25,000 grant that's very mission focused, and supportive of the the
mission and vision of the district. So I urge, approval of this application. One second then. Alright. Any further discussion on this one? No. It didn't take it. It's a no brainer. Yeah. Alright. Can I get a roll call? Alright. Next up, we have our second reading of revised policy KB, parent engagement and education. And, I know we've looked at this a couple meetings now. So, I move that the board approved the second reading of revised policy KB, parent
education engagement and education. Second, Mary, I must say I really like I really like what you brought to the table on this one. The edits that you suggested. Thank you. Thank you. So this particular policy, it is a standard policy that we would have regardless of our federal programs. We'll talk about our federal programs, in the next policy, but, I do think, the suggestions of Mary, and I think Dave made some suggestions as well on this, are are really sound and and really aligning this with our district's mission and vision.
So, I I don't know if we're ready to adopt this, if there's, any additional look that you want to do, on this particular policy. I think, it does capture, the changes that were required, which is adding kind of expanding that role of a parent. Sometimes it's an adoptive parent or legal guardian. So I think that's, added, some of that language in here as well. So, I'll leave that to the board whether you want to make the second reading
and do one final reading, and just catch any last minute things, or if you're ready to go ahead and approve it tonight and put this one to us. K. Well, I would like to since Nicole can't be here tonight, I would like to give her Give her a chance. Yeah. One last opportunity to get some info. I think that's great. Yeah. Would you feel better if I cleaned it up and added the ideas you had or kinda followed up? Like, I know you had some questions as a sack or PTCO so I could
find out the exact answers to those. Yeah. Do we do we need to research further that the because I had said so let's in well, it does say, paragraph one, consult and encourage, families to share in district planning and the setting of objectives through participating in school and district accountability committees. So, as I reread that, I was not sure why I wrote my particular comment. But is that both the DAC and the SAC?
It's a DAC and the SAC. Yeah. So that is true. So I just wanted to confirm that. And then, so you want those names in there, though? Well, the it does say district accountability committees, and I think that's probably fine. I just kinda wanted to know from a practical standard when it comes to actually applied. Well, we have parents who love the we have to be on a set. That's true. That's true. And then, let's see if there's another place. Oh, there was kind of the on page three, I guess, the district will identify
an employee of the district to act as a point of contact. You know, I know, Dan, you had said that that Jeff. But does he and and he gets to report to the deck and the sack pie and all those things. Does that mean he has to be part of it or just he just gets stuck and he's the transmitter of the information? It really and the way it's written is if there were a need to communicate with those, that it would it would typically go through the PIO. We've not had any situation, and we've not necessarily found those organizations aligned with our vision either. So, so, you know, that that's in there should should there ever be something that
we as a district want to take to those organizations, and we would have Jeff as our as our designee. But, and, again, just because he's designated doesn't necessarily mean he'd have to do it. He would we just need to be the one who we'd work with to make sure it got done. So So what kind of a thing would we ever, if anything, would we ever ask the SACI? I would say if we had issues with state policy, state rules and regulations, if we had things that we felt like our voice needed to be heard, we can
that would be something. I I did I don't know that the effectiveness is there for us to actually do that. I think if we had feedback, we'd probably go directly to state board of education. So, but, again, there are districts who send someone to give comments and feedback on state direction and things like that. Again, if if we ever felt it was a value. Okay. So that is sort of like is that like an advisory committee to the CDE? Yeah. Okay. Somebody is is Okay. Supposed to be representatives of the individual congressional districts Uh-huh.
And ours is not, but that's supposed to be. Okay. Yeah. The person who represents the region should have a voice and and should be active in the region. That person is not. But so that's where we have some challenges. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I just need to understand it there. So, yeah, we as far as I'm concerned, we can on this one, especially, we can, if if, I guess, maybe the ones that are about the edits that we want Nicole to look at, like, in paragraph four and that comment and maybe the
comment related to what I struck in paragraph eight. Maybe leave those in so that Nicole can kinda look at those. But the the question ones that, you know, I've been I've been satisfied at least. I think don't you think just to clean up as much as possible? I think we'll we'll give the track change copy, but let's do a clean copy too just just so you can read it through. It's easier. I think it's easier without all of that cross throughs and stuff. Yeah. I can We'll do both. In your packet. Okay. Through it, I didn't see anything that I would Yeah. Be more a final then. Yeah. Okay. We'll bring it back next next meeting and hopefully put this one to rest.
So I think I'm in backwards. Okay. So can I get a roll call? Director Kallenyan. Aye. Director Fletcher. Aye. Mister Olson. Aye. Mister Powell. Aye. Okay. And next up, we have the second reading of revised policy KBA district title one parent involvement. So I move that the board approve the second reading of revised policy KBA district title one parent involvement. Second and, again, I appreciate all the all the works and the edits. Yeah. This is a policy that I still would like to, and I know we're we're
trying to plan a retreat. I think this is a that would be a good time for us to talk more. This policy is only required if we accept federal dollars, and we've talked about whether we, want to continue to do so. Some of the requirements and the strings that are attached really are not helpful, and for the benefit that we receive from it is in question. So, this policy, my recommendation to Rhonda when we're doing agenda setting was that we just do second reading, but that, since we're trying to find a a retreat, that they would have some time to talk more about that long term desire.
Have Justin talk a little more about what that would mean budgetarily Yeah. To the district. And then if, we decide that that we're not gonna continue to accept that for dollars, then then this could actually go away. Go away. Yeah. And just to confirm, we will not be discussing policy on our retreat. Yeah. We will be discussing Yeah. Federal. Yeah. Yeah. Federal law. Direction. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. When people Overall worked up. Yeah. No. No. Yeah. Just a real question. Because we had talked about that, I think, last time, but, you know, we gotta
we gotta analyze if this is worth doing for all the Yeah. Groups and Well, and once we once we have a chance to really look at our our our vision and direction, then we'll know Mhmm. Is that necessary? Yeah. So Okay. So if you need further discussion on this one? Alright. Can we get a roll call? Okay. And next up, we have education reenvisioned BOCES resolution. Do you wanna talk first or Yeah. Yeah. So so education revision BOCES is a unique BOCES here in the state of Colorado.
It is a BOCES focused on creating choice and options for families across the state of Colorado. It's not a it's not a typical BOCES like one might join for special education services, which is generally what drives, BOCES, formation here in the state. This particular BOCES has been, one that has, continued to to look for innovative practices to expand options for parents, both in homeschool, as well as online programming, as well as, some unique, bricks and mortar schools that that exist across the state.
My recommendation in our joining them is because they share a mission and vision that we that we have, which is really continuing to ensure we empower parents, that parents have full control over their child's educational, choices, and and that, this this organization has done that outside of the boundaries of Elizabeth. We actually have some BOCES programs that operate within our district and and are successful in options for families, which I think is a good thing. So, my recommendation to join the BOCES is really, recognizing that we share a common
mission and vision, and that our membership can continue to strengthen them and and and the work that they're doing across the state of Colorado. One of the specific things I'm looking forward to to to working with the BOCES on is, exploring online options and and trying to get an online option. We have a lot of children in online mega schools across the state. I'd love to have parents have an online option that that Elizabeth School District could more aptly support and support children when they encounter those challenges along the way.
And the BOCES is the largest authorizer of online programs across the state and have some very innovative options that we could certainly partner with. So, obviously, that's a that's a residual of our our becoming a member of the BOCES, but I think overall, it's just, you know, aligning with with, organizations that that share your values and share your mission, I think, is a good thing to do. It allows us to to really support each other in the work that we do. So I urge approval of of this resolution.
So what are there any negatives for the district? There's no cost to the district. There's no money. There's no membership fee. It truly is just, continuing to support the work of this organization. And and and obviously, our district now gains a voice. So we gain a voice at the board table, to to help, deliberate and and think about what are what are needs in our state and how can we further support filling those. And so, there's no downside to us because it it truly is not it's not
a cost to the district. It's just, again, supporting supporting work that's happening similar to what we're trying to do in our district, but happening in districts where there's not that innovation occurring. Okay. There have been, and I just I I don't I'm sure that this is not the case, but I would just like maybe a a clarification because there have been some online statements that this would mean that they're gonna take away local control from us. Absolutely not. There there's, you know, there's gonna be, you know, eventually, it's gonna kinda take over
us and and we aren't I mean, I just want clarification out there. It's not the way the BOCES work. BOCES are run by districts. So districts are members, have a seat at the table to make decisions for that organization. Mhmm. Those organizations don't make decisions for us. Right. So it would be the it would be the programs and the opportunities to expand innovation, that comes before them. But now we gain a seat at the table to help guide, to help think about, to help deliberate. And, obviously, districts I've worked in have been a member of ES, education reenvision BOCES.
And and some of that has allowed incubation of thoughts and ideas within the district, but that's under our control, not under theirs. So And it won't affect our charter schools at all. Absolutely not. And and then if we have students in within our school district who do join, to do enroll in one in the online school under the ER Voces, then is it we get the the student count for that. Correct? Potentially. Again, we don't have a we don't have a plan yet. That's something I hope to be able to work with with the multiple providers.
One size doesn't fit all, and there's so many different online schools. So I think for us, we asked for an online school a couple years ago. We were denied that. I think this gives us that avenue to say, well, let's look at those existing online schools. Let's look at who can we best partner with to have an Elizabeth online option. And so ideally, long term, those students would be ours. Right now, there are students from our district who are in their online programs, that that obviously we have no say in, no control over. So I think, being able to ensure that all of those programs continue to be
high quality. Again, having a seat at the table gives us that oversight of those programs that are already serving our children. We have, I think, 700 students in the Elizabeth boundaries, which is not uncommon and proportionally to districts across the state who have families who are in online programs. This gives us the ability of providing some oversight, providing some ability to ensure that they're high quality, and then sharing, obviously, with our community what we learned through that process. So And so how how will we have this seat at the board?
We we actually get to appoint a representative who who becomes part of their board of directors. So, so that can be someone in the district. It can be someone in a community member that we want to represent That would be something that you'll have the opportunity to weigh in on. We're asking for membership. They then have to act and say, yes. We'd like you to be a member. So that's the next step. And then once that occurs, then there'll be conversation about who would be our representative on that board. Doesn't have to be a school board member.
And one district I served in that capacity, I don't see that in this this case. I've got plenty of other things that I'm doing. So I think we would then at that point determine who do we wanna be our voice on that on the basis. Okay. And that person would come in and, if it's not a board member and and not a district administrator, that person would then come and update you on here's the things happening in the business. Okay. And and so when we eventually get to that point, there will be an agreement that we enter into with that? Yeah. Yeah. There will there will there will be a document.
Like I said, we're asking for membership. They've approached us about membership. We ask for membership, then they act on that membership request. And then at that point, then we work out the we work out the the written agreement, which which officially names us as members of the bosses. And there have been statements also that these difficult these agreements with the ER BOCES or just any BOCES, I guess, are very complicated. Is that No. I do. No. Just bringing up the things that I've heard, and I just want answers to them.
So Yep. Yeah. Yep. So great. Okay. I think the same people who oppose us joining this proceeds also oppose us opening an online auction within our district. And oppose us with the charter school, which chose us in so many other ways. So Oh, yeah. The reality is this choice allows when when the tide rises, all boats rise. When there are choice options for families to look at and ensure that they're getting the best educational option for their children, all schools improve. I believe our schools are great choices too.
But the one size does not fit all, and and this mentality of we just have to keep everyone. The reality is is it's not happening. They're leaving us to look for other options. Let's be a part of finding great options for our kids. And we can order them. Yes. That's that goes right along with our Mhmm. We want choice for our parents. Yeah. And, you know, like you said, one size does not fit all for every student. But I will I will I will probably blow your mind by saying, if a child finds a school in Douglas County to be the best fit for them, that's
okay. Yes. They deserve that. They just parents deserve the opportunity whether it's a charter school, a school in another district, one of our schools of online school and homeschool enrichment program. That's what we're about. We're about parental rights, and we're not about limiting choice. We're about expanding choice and really providing families that opportunity. So, not not being a part of something like this and not having charters and not having online schools doesn't keep your kids. No. They just go elsewhere. And and the reality is is I wanna make sure that we offer great options
for our families in the district. Agreed. And I believe our schools are great options. I do see. Alright. Any further discussion on this one? Okay. Okay. Can I get a roll call? I don't know if that will be a roll call. I thought I did. No. I didn't. I move that the board approve the attached resolution to join the education revision proceeds. Now can I get a second? Second. There we go. Okay. Can you repeat that? Discussion. You wanted it before the motion. I get it. Yeah. I know. Okay. So can I get a roll call? Fletcher Gallahan.
Alright. Judge Fletcher. Aye. Director Olson. Aye. Director Powell. Aye. Alright. And with that, we have, board planning, new business. Our next board of education meeting is actually scheduled on a Monday this time, 01/26/2026 here in the boardroom. And just, so you know, we will have an executive session here that we're working to schedule. We do go before the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, in a week, a week from Friday. And so our attorneys would like the opportunity of, briefing and updating the board on
the legal case. And so, just know that that is that is something we're working on on our agenda. So So if you could carry, if anybody wants to come, we'll probably have it 7675. Yeah. We're we're and and it probably it it will probably be off-site just because we do need our attorneys, and and we've got a number of attorneys involved. So so if as soon as we have a date and location, we'll certainly get that shipped out. Got you. Got you. Got you. Got you. Okay.
Alright. So with that, I adjourn this meeting at 06:42PM. Wow. That's a fast one. It was.
