Mrs. Chester here, Dr. Permentor here, Miss Laria, Mrs. Avery here, Mr. Dace here, Mr. Gentiel here, Mrs. Hermanel, Dr. Basher Blau here, and Mrs. Carmen. Can everyone please rise for the flag
salute led by Mr. face. We have approval of the minutes from April 14th, 2025. This is a regular meeting. Can I have a motion to approve the minutes? Some moved. Second. All in favor? I. Any abstensions? Any
opposed? Okay, moving on to presentations. The student council represent. Okay, so we have Amala Isa here, our representative from the GTMS student council. Do you have an update for us?
So, I will be giving a yearly summary of what the GTMS student council has accomplished for the 2024 and 2025 school year. So, I was elected as the student council president for the 2024 2025 school year for GTMS. And we will
start off with September. So, for September, um, we did a lot of 911 memorial events such as the salute to veteran ceremony and me and the vice president both read a poem for that. And for October, we did breast cancer awareness week, spirit week, and we
basically brought together the community to learn more about breast cancer and have fun dressup days like pink out or team up against breast cancer. Moving on to November, we led a canned goods food drive and collected donations to support families in need. It was a great way to bring the GTMS GTMS community together
through kindness. In December, we had another spirit week which was winter spirit week theme and we had fun days like winter wonderland Wednesday and tinsel Thursday. Moving on to January, we hosted a Martin Luther King essay contest and we had
first, second, and third place winners. Moving on to February, we had our Black History Month museum and we also had our Black History Month slideshow which played in the GTMS morning announcements. We also did Candygrams for Valentine's Day. Moving on to March,
we had our student council trip to the New Jersey state capital and it we also had the hands-on lawmaking program which a lot of the people in student council enjoyed. We also had a St. Patrick's Day spirit week with fun days like lucky day and mismatch day. In April, we organized
our Earth Day cleanup which was postpo was postponed to May and we also had our very successful diversity night which we have done for the last six years. It was a favorite tradition that brings our GTMS community together through food, music, and culture. Moving on to
May, which we are in, we are getting ready for our end of the year trip, which basically celebrates all of the things that student was able to do during the school year. And we throughout the year, we've also been able to sell pretzels on Tuesday, which raised money for our school. And that concludes what the
student council has done so far for this year. You've had a very, very busy year. Is there anything that you need from us? No. No. Well, at any point if you have any questions, you can get Mrs. Chester's attention. Okay. Thank you. Okay, moving on to
presentations. And Ammya, I just want to also say thank you. Uh I know you've been very involved at, you know, during your time here in Goway, especially at the middle school. We're going to be recognizing you from what I understand again yet again tonight. Um so, thank you for your leadership and we wish you all the best as you get ready to
transition to uh high school. And um again, thank you for your leadership here at GTMS. It's been greatly appreciated and it's been a pleasure having you here on the board. So, thank you. Thank you, Mr. Valver. All right, so we have a variety of different student
recognitions tonight. And, you know, I think it's safe to say that we're going to be closing out the year here um with some a variety of different recognitions. Um the first person that we're going to bring down uh to assist me with this is is Miss Debbie Summers. Um first and foremost, congratulations
to you, Debbie. Um because let's face it, uh even as a former district employee, as I've I've joked before, I think you've been putting in more time volunteering your time with us now more than ever. And for that, we're greatly appreciated. And most recently um on
Friday night we had an opportunity to celebrate uh Debbie as well as executive director of the education foundation Debbie was also chosen as the person of the year or friend of education uh and we had the opportunity to celebrate uh her and all the work that she does. This
is just a small example of that. Uh and what I can say is that unlike uh oftentimes what we choose to give to our recipients of friend of education, Debbie's also very involved with Stockton University and the maple tree project. And what we've chosen to do here in Goway Township to recognize her
as a friend of education. We're going to be actually purchasing a maple tree uh and planting that on her behalf here um near Mr. bees is where I understand uh it will go and I'm sure that you know we will have the students involved in that as well. Um but you know again
congratulations Debbie. Now I know it's not about you tonight but I felt it is important to share with the public all that you do here. So please give Debbie a big round of applause. So, without further ado, I want to turn it over to you so you can explain a little bit about the Go Green initiative
and uh the students that we're going to be um actually uh recognizing tonight. And we have certificates. Students, when you come down, if you can, you can receive your certificate after Miss Summers um shares that information with the uh with the crowd. And we're going to have everybody after they receive
their certificate, please just stand under here and we're going to grab a quick picture when we're done. Okay. Oh yeah. So we have our reusable bags. Do you want me to do you want me to hold that up for you? I'll be your Vanna White
here. We'll trade. Um so uh I'm on the Galloway go green team. I call it the envir uh adult environmental club. I started environmental club at Gallowway Township Middle School in 1989.
and um and then when I retired I joined the um adult Galloway green team and I'm also the liaison for the environmental club at the middle school. So we jointly do things with the Galloway Township uh
students at GTMS. So the reusable bag contest we did. This is one that was precoid and a Smithville student had won the competition and the design is going to be put on the bag. So uh this year
it's Ruie Patel and I'll have her come up in a minute. Uh but her design is going on the bag and um there's some postcards up on the table on the side. uh Galloway uh green team does the farm
market at Smithville on the village green and it starts June 26 and runs to September 4th. It's on Thursdays from 4 to 7. So the bag is supposed to be ready for our first uh green market and Rui
Rui and her family can come and get her official bag her own and um and anyone in Galloway comes out to visit us at the green uh market. So we picked um we had over 400 entries from third through
sixth grade uh from Arthur Ran Smithville Roland and Reeds Road. And these are the honorable mentions uh that we selected. Um it was hard to choose as you can imagine. Um and then we'll have
Ruhi come up. So um also um Lindy Hops donated a certificate certificates for each of the kids for ice cream cone. Um, so, uh, the honorable mentions, you're going to get
your drawings and your certificate and, uh, honorable mention and your, uh, Lindy Hop certificate is in the back. So, we have Sarai Gerald, want to come up if you're
here. I'm gonna lay the pictures across the top here and you can pick up yours because it'll be hard to coordinate which ones which and then pick up your and then we'll have you guys hold your drawings
with your certificate. Not yours yet. Which one's is that one yours? All right. Good. All right. And next is Olivia Torcha. Torsche is that Maddiey's sister and then
congratulations. Pick up your certificate. Yeah. And then stand over by. All right. And Tyler Resmeronski. Tyler. No
tripping. Tripping hazards. We probably stand over the tripping hazard. And which one was yours? Yeah. Awesome. All right. And Allison Gonzalez Chavez. She here. Not here. Maybe she's
not here. Elizabeth Hendri. Henrich. Congratulations. And Olivia Hterwitz. I know it's Wait. Congratulations. I remember this one's
yours. And Stella Moretta Moratus. Stella. Awesome. I thought that was yours. and Harper Chamberlain. and Hudson level
see it's not here and Juliana Smith. All right. And then our winner is Ruie Patel. And this is her uh drawing that's going to be on all the bags that will get made. We wanted to do all the honorable
mentions, but it costs a lot of money to do the the original whatever you call them things. So, uh but everyone can come and get a bag. All right, get get
close. Hold your pictures up if you can. All right, let's give him a big round of applause. Congratulations. Thank you very much. And Miss Summers not only gave you your Lindy Hops treat, but the board of education gave you a cookie, so we
really are spoiling dinner tonight if you haven't had it yet. Steve, would you mind passing the bag around so we can just All right. Next up, we are going to have Miss Trippin come down from the GTMS Science Club and we are going to be
presenting some recognitions to our Delaware Valley Science Fair winners. If you had an opportunity and got here early um out front, they are v variety of different um projects that the students were presenting. I think it's I think we were joking when we got in here a little earlier. I think it's fair to
say that they are all smarter than me. Um but at the end of the day um some great projects. My biggest question all the time for the kids when they go through all the information is my my one and only question, did you have fun? Right? Because that that's what it's all
about. If they're passionate about this work and they had fun doing it, that's what's meaningful to them and there's purpose behind it. So that's that's the most important piece and and every single time it's always Yep. It was hard but we had fun. So without further ado,
good evening. Hi everyone. I am Miss Terson. I am the middle school science club adviser. Um I had another great turnout this year. I had over I had over 33 kids that signed up for the club and I had 19 that went all the way through. So I'm super proud of the numbers that have increased over the years. Kids really showing their interest in science
and wanting to apply those skills they're learning. It's been a really great showing. So, it is a long list. I don't want to hold anyone up too long. So, I'm going to go through tell you the child's name, their category, as well as what they won both uh Jersey Shore and Delaware Valley for those that advanced. So, starting in the behavior and social sciences category was Jamie Nen. Her
category, her topic was concentration chaos. How do different sounds affect our ability to concentrate? She won first place at Jersey Shore, went on to compete at Delra Valley, which is a much more competitive competition with over 300 kids, and she got herself an honorable mention for that. So, congratulations,
Jamie. Uh, next up in the biochemistry category was Jordan Kelly. Her project was entitled I See You, a comprehensive look at eye color among a family tree. And at Jersey Shore, she placed third place. Come on up, Jordan. In the botney category was Tatiana Rio
Sortiz. She had the title of thirsty plants. Do different liquids affect the growth rate of plants? And at Jersey Shore, she received honorable mention. Come on up, Tati. In the chemistry category was Kish Patel. His topic was unveiling the rainbow, analyzing different light
sources with a homemade spectroscope. and he received third place at Jersey Shore. In the computer science category, uh Jared Dennis and his project was entitled, "Did you see that? Sensing objects with code and he also received honorable mention at Jersey Shore.
Also in the computer science category was Morgan Kersam. Hers was the struggle is real. Can you tell the difference between real and fake? Uh she's not here with us tonight, but she also received honorable mention at Jersey Shore. In the Earth and Space Science category was Sophia Troening with her
topic of beneath our feet, deciphering soil's pH altering effects on water, where she received a third place at Jersey Shore. In our engineering category, Amore Isa. She has a title called determining the effectiveness of an ultrasonic,
auditory, and tactile feedback systems for the blind and visually impaired. She received first place at Jersey Shore. Uh went on to Delore Valley to get honorable mention as well as three significant special awards. She received the award for the engineering engineers club of Philadelphia for the middle
school division as well as the Lemlson early inventor prize as a top inventor and the society of women engineers Philadelphia second place there. So huge success for more. Congratulations. Contin continuing in the engineering category Sophia Bu. Her topic was which wood you use testing the
strength of wood types and bridge bridge construction. She received second place at Jersey Shore, went on to compete at Del Valley where she received a special award for the Society of Women Engineers in Philadelphia for honorable mention. Come on up, Sophia. Moving on to the medicine and
health category. Ayanna Lua Ayani uh was her topic was steady vibe, revolutionizing Parkinson's through the study of rehabilitative rehabilitation therapy glove. She received second place at Jersey Shore. Went on to compete in Delaware Valley where she received third place. Coming
up, also in the medical and medicine health category, Maya Millio, rapid relief. How fast do pain relievers really work? And she received first place at Del, excuse me, at Jersey Shore. In the microbiology category, Tessa Dalisandress, uh, light it up. Do
different light variations affect bacterial growth? I do want to call Tessa out because she was a three-year participant in Jersey Shore and Delaware Valley. She had the same category of microbiology, did very well, and received second place at Jersey Shore. Congratulations. Had to call you Al
because uh microbiology again was Bryce Dunn. He did the 5-second myth. Does bacteria follow the clock? Uh he is not here with us tonight but did receive third place at Jersey Shore. In the physics category, Heat Bramot uh his title was investigating
the impact of magnet arrangement on Goss rifle velocity. He received honorable mention at Jersey Shore. I have to say on a side note, the titles are impossible to come up with and it takes us about how long to get our titles? I don't know, weeks. But they get good ones and they're really good. All right, in zoology we have Rita
Escado. She uh competed in a category in zoology with magnetic marbles unlocking the secret behind planer's magnetic regeneration. She received second place at Jersey Shore and also went on to Delaware Valley. Lily Voss also competed in zoology and her topic was racing hearts.
Daphany has heart rates versus energy drink exposure. She did not let her animals survive, but did a great job with that testing and received first place in her category. Congratulations. That was fun. They all died. And rounding out the crew in zoology again was Aliana Rios Ortiz with
her topic, Lights On, Lights Off. What do guppies prefer? Getting an honorable mention at Jersey Shore. So great big congratulations to the crew. They did great. She's fine, right? All right. Thank you. parents, come on down. If you want to
grab some pictures, feel free to come down. Hang in there, kids. Got a few more pictures. All right, everybody. I think we're clear. Thank you. Congratulations. Big round of applause. Well done. Way to
represent Goway Township Schools. very proud. At this time, Miss Fernandez, will you come down? Our Smithville Science Club advisor who's going to be recognizing also our Jersey Shore Science Fair winners as
well. I'll take I'll take At Smithville in sixth grade, we introduce our students to the scientific method and to science fair. We have a Smithville science fair um in February and the winners of that science fair we
take to Jersey Shore with us. So, it's their introduction to the Jersey Shore Science Fair. This year we had three students get honorable mention at that fair which is quite an accomplishment because they are the youngest students in the science fair at sixth grade. Um
so we are very very proud of our sixth grade students that are here with us tonight. We have Tommy Keading with his chemistry project Melty Melty Metal. Good job Tommy. And we have Jasmine Shell with
her project musical marolds. We had a third honorable mention. She could not be with us tonight. Love Ayani. She also received an honorable mention. That's the room to bring back. All right, congratulations. Big round of applause. All right, and that in that
concludes our student presentations. Great job by everybody and certainly proud uh that you are representing Goway Township Schools. great job and a special thanks to all the parents for your continued support of our students as well. At this time, we're going to
transition, if that's okay, um into the budget hearing. Um so, fiscal 26 budget hearing. Um basically, this is uh our time of the year. If you recall back in March, we did discuss myself and Mrs. Nixon, we discussed the budget we
submitted um to the county and now this is our formal budget hearing um for the following year for fiscal year 26. First and foremost, as always, we want to start with a thank you. There's a lot of work and you're going to see in a timeline in a minute. A lot of work goes into the preparation of our budget. Uh
special thanks to our board of educ board of education members. um they we continuously have conversations and committees leading up to the budget into March, April, now even May. And ultimately um you know their support and continued support of all of our
initiatives here uh within the district is greatly uh appreciated. Also special thanks to our business office staff. I can tell you that my right hand, Mrs. Nixon, this wouldn't even be possible without her and her staff. Um so special thanks to to you for your continued
support. Uh, of course, our central administration directors and staff as well as our building principles and assistant principles. Every year they're tasked with um me throwing them in a room saying, "Let's figure this out." Mr. Regazi has that still has that look
of of awe on his face right now. Um, but it's a process. I have to tell you, it's it's definitely a process, especially over the past three years um with some of the limited funding from the state of uh state um in terms of state aid. So, as you can see, when I talk
about a process, you can see how this process plays out. Um to be honest, this even begins well uh much earlier in fall, but January 24th, you can see how that process started. We had some uh formal meetings on February 3rd and 4th. governor's budget address got dropped on
the on the 25th and then state aid was released on the 28th. Um but once it was released on the 28th, so you figure basically by the time we unpack that it's March 1st. Um ultimately we had to have everything ready by March 17th. So there's a lot to unpack in a very short
amount of time. Um as we continue to talk about there is no true funding formula. So, it's not like any business out there. Um, we're coming into this quite often blind in terms of what we're going to be getting in terms of ether whether it's equalization aid or state
aid. Um, no matter what it what category would fall into, and you'll see that in a minute. Um, but we're trying to make sure that we make ends meet because we have a job to do and make sure that we provide a balanced budget to the board with recommendations by uh March 17th in this case. and we made sure that budgets
were submitted on time by March 19th to the county office for review. You can see here um just a quick snapshot and this is going to be a brief overview from our March U presentation, but you can see here fiscal year 25 to fiscal year 26 and the percent change.
One of the things we were told across the state early on was that there was not one school district in New Jersey was going to have a reduction of state aid more than 3% this year, which that memo uh I know everybody in the state was was, you know, certainly
appreciative of. However, the one thing that they uh were were really quiet or silent on was the fact that we were going to have 6% cap as well. So nobody lost more than 3% in terms of state aid, but also no matter what the funding formula shared, districts were to be
capped at 6%. Even if you were underfunded and you can see here that we had a reduction in equalization aid, but an increase in both special education aid, security aid, and transportation aid, which we really historically hadn't haven't seen in the past seven to nine
years. So you can see the increase uh was a net effect of $1.6 6 million of state aid that we got, which we're absolutely appreciative of. But what I can say is that we put the note in there that that was a 6% cap for us if we were
fully funded. In this particular slide, we we discussed if we were fully funded based off of the formula they provided this year, when you take a look at adequacy budget and local fair share, if we didn't have a 6% cap, we would have
received $3.1 million. So in essence, we were the state aid was about half of what it should have been. Again, we're appreciative of what we received. We definitely, you know, put it into um effect for all the right reasons, but we still had to figure things out in terms
of where we were going to find uh this deficit because you can see where we were underfunded by about $ 1.5 million if you recall. This is something else that we talked about last month. So, this wasn't in March because it wasn't something that the state prepared. I know this is
hard to read, but ultimately what the state said was that depending upon the school district, we had a one-time opportunity to be able to basically use what they kind of equated to the simple fact that here is your expenditure uh
request amount, right? And in our case, I can tell you that the maximum additional expenditure request that's listed here is $7.5 million. Well, you may be thinking, well, what does that mean? Well, what that means is that the state through the funding formula and
based on when you take a look at our adequacy budget and local fair share when it all flushes out, they're saying that we could have taken advantage and presented to the board that we could use a portion of this $7.5 million to be able to help our
budget. We discussed that. Okay? And ultimately what it comes down to is that we chose last month not to take advantage of this because this wasn't free money. This was hey you could use the rest of your bank cap in addition to $7.5 million because in essence they're
saying that our current budget is net effect lower than what they think it should be. But that would have to go on a tax levy. And I can tell you that being fiscally responsible and in conversations with the board who agrees that is not something that we were going
to take advantage of because we were charged administratively to have a balanced budget by the end of March. And we did that with just really going with 2% and some portion of our bank cap. Not going out and trying to get an additional
seven and a half million dollars or even a portion of that. That is not something that I think that I would recommend to this board. Um, and nor did they agree as well because we don't want to do that to the local taxpayers in terms of increasing that tax levy, what they
called incentive. Some things to consider that we talked about previously. When you take a look at the left side, those are the revenues. So, you have your state aid increase. We did make the recommendation to go to 2% which was our tax levy cap, the normal cap. And then
we also had the ability to use some of our bank cap. We didn't use all of our bank cap, only a portion of the bank cap. And when you take a look at the expenditure side, you can see where our expenditures increased. Everything from salaries to benefits and of course
transportation went up. And one thing that was unusual for us this year, and we've all been feeling the effects at home as well, is utilities. and we were told to increase which is not the norm but 15% for utility increases moving forward. So when you take a look at the
recommendation that was presented to the board when we had to kind of offset and we still had to figure out about $600,000 but we did that through efficiencies. That's where I talk about the hard work of our business office, the central admin, especially building admin, trying to find efficiencies,
taking a look at enrollment, taking a look at our programs, making sure that we are operating as efficiently as possible. So ultimately what it came down to was that we proposed to the board in March the tax levy increase of 2% a partial use of bank cap of 315,000,
which was a total a little bit more than a million dollars. So that in essence would equate to an averaged $200,000 assessed home about 20 under $30 a year or about $2.40 additional uh increase
per month. Um so that would be the recommendation. That is what we submitted to the county office of education. And again here we are tonight proposing this to the board in a final budget hearing um to be able to approve this tonight. Here is the resolution.
Um, so you can see the difference between the budget as well as the local tax levy. And that concludes my presentation. Turning it back over to you. There any comments or questions from the board? I know it's been said um many times and
it was said tonight, but Mrs. Nixon and the business office, thank you so much. I commend you, Mr. Santilly, the administration and staff. I know it's not easy to turn around the budget in the way that you do in such a short time frame um especially as we have continued to be underfunded. So, thank you for all of your hard work. Are there any
comments um from the public at this time related to the budget? Okay, seeing none, can I have a motion to approve item 4.2? So, move second. Any board
comment? Roll call. Mrs. Chester, yes. Dr. Permentor, yes. Mrs. Avery, yes. Mr. Dace, yes. Mr. Jensen, yes. And Vice President Basher Blau, yes. Moving on. Um, at this time, we will
open it up for public comment for agenda items only. Is there any public comment for agenda items only? Okay, moving on to superintendent report. So, at this time, we have our attorney's report from our solicitor, Miss Amy
Halco. Good evening, everybody. Um, it's great to be here. I enjoyed all the presentations and since the last time we talked, I've worked about with the district about some contractual matters, some personal matters, and some student matters. Thank you.
All right, moving on. We have items 6.2 through 6.4 as listed and attached. They areformational items only for the board and no vote is needed. Moving on to curriculum and instruction. So, at this time, we're looking for

Roll call. Mrs. Chester. Yes. Dr. Permentor. Yes. Mrs. Avery. Yes. Mr. D? Yes, Mr. Gentiel. Yes, Vice President Basher Blouse. Yes. Moving on to personnel.
So, at this time, we are looking to um approve items 10.1 through 10.4 as listed and attached. Have a motion to approve items 10.1 through 10.4. So, move. Second. Board comments.
Roll call. Mrs. Chester. Yes. Dr. prementor with regret on Dr. Paul. Yes, Mrs. Avery. Mr. D. On item 10.2,
appointments, I must uh abstain on personnel supplemental curriculum and reappointments. Yes. On everything else, Mr. Jentiel? Yes. And Vice President Basher Blau? Yes. Prior to uh moving on to policy, I just
wanted to publicly recognize um the public and also the board may have seen a resignation uh this evening um for Dr. Jennifer Paul's. Um she has been with the district for probably close to a decade. I've worked closely with her for
um actually quite quite a long time, a good portion of my career. Um and I think that congratulations are in store um for Dr. Paul. she's actually been appointed uh as the new superintendent in Mullica School District. Um so, you
know, our loss is of course going to be their gain. Um but ultimately, we wanted to wish her the best and I wanted to be able to share that that positive note with the uh public and the board. Uh I still have an opportunity obviously to work with her in the county uh superintendent meetings and so on. Uh
and also she's one of the districts in our consortium still. Um so I'm sure our paths will still cross. um but ultimately um is certainly welld deserved and we wish her all the best. Yeah, Mr. Santelli, if I can say I I agree with everything you said, she's
going to be a great loss for us and a great gain for Mulliga. I eu I echo the congratulatory sentiments as well. Uh moving on to policy, I believe you did not hold a meeting recently. Not
this. Okay. So, uh, tonight we just have second readings for policy. Uh, with the quick turnaround from the two board meetings and spring break thrown in the mix, um, I think it was going to be hard to to get a meeting together. Um, so I certainly didn't want to do that to our our committee over the break. Um, but
ultimately we have items 11.1 through 11.5 um, as listed and attached for second reading and final approval. Can I have a motion to approve items 11.1 through 11.5 for a second reading? So moved. Second. Board comments. I have one
question for you on uh item 11.5 policy 5533 of student smoking. I may have missed it or misread. Is there one for uh yeah staff smoking on ground sites? I may have missed it. I'm I'm
sure there's got to be a policy about it. It's a good question. And I think I we can double check. Uh Mr. Dace, I do believe that there's something under possibly under um the 2000 series. Um we take a look for facilities. Um there may not be something specific to teaching
staff and support staff, but I do believe there is a policy. There's a policy 7434 smoking on school building in school buildings and school grounds. That's from the old or this new one? No, the new one. The new the new one. Okay. We approved it in February of 24. Okay. Sorry. And that's where all of your signage takes place when you're entering
the building and so on. Any other board questions or comments? Roll call. Mrs. Chester, yes. Dr. Permentor, yes. Mrs. Avery, yes. Mr. Dace, yes. Mr.
Gentiel, yes. And Vice President Basher, yes. Moving on to old business. Uh action to approve uh old business item 12.1 the uh to affirm the HIB determination reports as attached. Can I have a motion to approve item 12.1? So
move second for comment. Roll call. Mrs. Chester, yes. Dr. Penture, yes. Mrs. Avery, Mr. Dase, yes. Mr. Jen Thiel, yes. And
vice president Basher blouse. Yes. Next, we have uh our board calendar uh as listed and attached uh for information and our special events 13.2. There are variety of different events here. As we mentioned last month, uh the end of the year is uh packed with a variety of
different events. Uh everything from spring concerts to final multicultural nights uh as listed here. Also, NatureFest in Mr. Be's backyard is going to be taking place on May 29th. So, save the date for that. And then of course the promotional ceremonies are listed in
here for each of the teams. Uh we have four different teams here that'll um take place over two different days. Um so please feel free to let us know uh which events our board members uh you may be attending and uh we'll certainly save seats uh as needed. Yes, I highly
encourage board members um to let Heather know if you're able to attend any of the GTMS promotional ceremonies. It's a great time to celebrate our students. Okay, at this time we'll open it up for public comment. Is there any public comment this
evening? Okay, seeing none, we do not have executive session this evening. So, can I have a motion to adjurnn? So, move. All right. Ajourned.
