lot of Cindy hairstyle pictures last year usually people the students are good about participating and the teachers who okay which teacher had the best costume missal or Miss they usually do pretty good English
English any questions for him before we let him go for the night okay thanks for coming ladies appreciate it okay um with that down to 3.3 a comprehensive U achievement and Civic readiness
presentation thanks for joining us tonight yes yes of course okay thanks um so we actually usually have the world's best work force report this time of year um we have changed this
to voting sorry I could have done a different format so there's a couple changes We Now call it the comprehensive achievement Civic Readiness report and some of this information is the same there's a couple new pieces I just want to highlight this year and I'll share with you the work
that we did last year and then our goals for this coming school year so you are not new to the world quest Workforce I don't think anybody up here is new to that report um two things I want to highlight is that all third graders can read at grade level that's
been removed now with the read act the expect is that every student at every grade level is reading so that has been removed um what's been added at the bottom there for this year is prepare students to be lifelong Learners so that is a new goal Target that we set this
school year for last year um in the category of all children are ready for a school we set the goal of 75% of preschool students being ready for kindergarten based on the core Advantage School Readiness assessment in the results were 80% of our students so we did meet that
goal so thank you to Jenny and her team for all that hard work they do a really great job with the new assessment the core which has a lot of components to it they've done a lot of work around that the last couple of years the next goal all third graders can read at grade level we did not meet
that goal we are at 63.5% based on our MCA scores um I'm very excited about the work that we're doing with the Rea this year as far as literacy I think it's wonderful for our teachers to have that common language around the science of reading so we are
looking forward to having students reading at grade level every grade level there's a lot of time that's being spent this year on just the training and then it'll be implementation for the next few years as we make sure we're putting that science into practice so stay tuned for
a lot of information around that as we get going um with the implementation process actually is that when you say this is the compreh is this a Statewide requirement or this is our own saying we want every student to be no this is at
the state level and de is ask for these for the goal setting process another thing that you'll see as part of this also is that that's one of the reasons we have PLC leaders come in and present every year they're sharing their building goals and those need to be public meetings as well closing the student achievement Gap
um we had a lot of progress last school year the previous school year 22 23 when we set that 75% goal we saw a lot of growth in that area last year we didn't see quite the growth that we wanted when we look at our our special population special education free and reduced
students and then our Hispanic students or our multilingual students um we did not see what we usually shoot for is that 5% growth from year to year based on where they were the year before we did not hit that in these areas again I'm really excited about the work we're
doing this this school year especially with our um English language learner program the Staffing we've increased there is going to be really beneficial to our students we've added an additional um English language learner teacher at the secondary level and a par so there's always that support person
there um when one is at the middle school then the other staff is at the high school and then they switch throughout the day so we're we're increasing our support for our multilingual Learners which is wonderful special education we have a lot of new things in place as well well this year
Nicole Kat and I worked last year to get a new middle school math curriculum we just had a kind of a checkin with those teachers and I would like to quote jod because she put it really well in words and it made me excited about what we have for our kids now she said this is the most personalized curriculum we've
had for students on IEPs ever jod Smith has been here a long time so that SP fallings to me that we're we're making a lot of progress in that area and then last week we also met with the Middle School specialed PA team to look at their literacy curriculum because now that they're doing the rap training
they're seeing okay we want a curriculum that aligns to these things that we're learning as far as best instructional practices so we're making progress in that area I feel really good about what we're doing the teachers are putting in a lot of time in work to move that learning forward for those kiddos as
well and then track attendance against um the achievement Gap as well do we we do track attendance in redefining ready um so that is something that we're not required to track for this but that would be interesting information to have
as far as that correlation to but no not for this report we don't and then our last goal would be uh college and or second last goal College and Career Readiness which we do um track with redefining ready so our
outcome we were very close uh we set the goal of 70% of our seniors being col already that was an increase from the previous year we're at 65% at both so we're increasing that by 5% and then 70% of seniors will be career ready so we were very close almost 70% of our
seniors College ready 73 almost 74% for career ready so partially meeting that goal and then graduation um our goal for that is 90% And we had a 96.2% graduation rate which we usually typically fall around and do a really
great job of of helping our students um be prepared for what's next actually around the graduation rate um does some of that um you actually see that increase of points throughout the
summer as students catch up with those credits and graduate yes so this is the most recent data I pulled from the fall so yes that has some kids finishing up as well um um I can't remember what the number was for previously but um we do
have a couple stragglers that will will work really hard to get there yes thank you yeah and moving forward for this year the new comprehensive goals that we've set um like I said there's that lifelong
learning goal that Su us kindergarten the goal has been set for 78% of students being ready using the core Advantage test we want 100% of children ready we know that students with special needs are not always going to meet all the qualifiers but we're getting them ready to walk in our our door and be as
prepared as they can be and continue to have those supports for those students um as far as closing the achievement Gap I think when you saw buildings present data this fall we talked a lot about that kind of 8% everybody landed it wherever we were last year having that
kind of incremental growth and growing um proficiency by 8% so that is the goal that we've set for closing the achievement Gap this year is 8% as measured by MCA math and reading and then College and Career Readiness we're just building off of where we landed
this year so we're going to shoot for 75% College ready and 80% career ready that's growing about 5% for each of those and then our new goal this year if you could scroll up a little bit Cur just think or the other way sorry down thank you I just can't see that b
lifelong learning goal um for this one I worked with Mr scoffield at the high school because this one is really based on our high school students and so they are giving a survey for students um and we'll measure that from Fall to spring
so by the end of 24 to 25 95% of our students will indicate High engagement in their learning as measured by their desired daily experience survey so that's a new survey they built we picked one of the indicators that will help that us measure engagement in Le
learning can they keep moving that forward after they exit high school so that is a a new goal for us this year we're excited to see um the growth from Fall to Spring in our students getting them to 95% um to measure lifelong learning so
that was a tricky one to figure out uh how we're going to measure right once they leave our door how do we measure that but I think this will be a good starting point for us to see how that looks this year and we'll keep moving forward with that so that is where we're at for the school year here um I'm happy
to answer any questions you might have for me I have a question um the desire daily experience survey are will they do that every year then so we can see the the okay that is what we had planned yes
awesome awesome and then one more question did we have the graduation rates the other ones from the the slide just before this for the subgroups I just I do not have that now okay Ashley quick question how do you
determine um College ready and career ready so yeah if you remember we spent a few years in the redefining ready cohort and so there are several indicators both for college readiness and career Readiness and so what we do and when I
say we lindsy H and I um in Ed climber our student Warehouse as we go ahead and put in those indicators so attendance in nth grade was an indicator of being college or career ready um there's the ACT scores being ready in all four of
those areas um AP enrollment college and the school's enrollment there's lots of different indicators career Readiness also has some other things as far as um activities engagement to or more activities in your college career community service and so we use those to
build a report that then shows us based on those qualifiers who's College ready who's career ready and that's a National Standard that's been set by the superintendent Association has kind of those um metrics that they've laid out that there's research behind if you meet
these qualifiers you're more likely to be College of career ready thank you for the graduation rate with our transitions to program coming back into the school district is that factored
into our graduation rate so we've counted people that start with us and then also are with us when they leave at their senior year so those I don't think are counted as part of that that cohort in the administrative board
reports this week there month there was reference to a lot of the other testing happening this week I don't remember yes NWA or the math test it has two names so we like to keep it confusing how does that with MCA these are yes so
um we give the NWA or the map test in grades six through 10 there are correlation standards as far as 6 through eight that says if you meet this score you're most likely to meet or exceed on the MCA so it's called the
linking study there is not a linking study for the high school that's done with Min soda but what we've done is kind of use the increments to do our own predictors and actually I just gave um that today at the high school I get to sit in and give one of those assessments today so I put on the board what kind of
their goal is and um that number lets them know that they're on track to meet the reading assessment or the the math assessment for the MCA and then we use that information to determine if students should be placed into intervention programming at the high school so students know I need to hit
this level or I'm behind and then I'm going to get work to get caught up so it's pretty motivating I have a lot of students showing me their score and they don't really know me and interact with me on a daily basis so it it does help them to see if they're on track questions for
Ashley okay Ashley thank you very much thank you and the word okay so with that we are to 3.4 um consider the approval for resolution for the acceptance of gifts and grants Richards I Andrew Richards

M grads um that are in it field so and I know Ashley's intimately aware and leads um a lot of that so um anyhow just those comments and um and then the uh again the committee incredibly generous but uh
um castle and Laser Graphics giving back and Legion the community certainly supports the uh this District so we thank them again for that we have a motion a second um anything
else before we go all those in favor um for approval of the resolution for acceptance of GIF Grant State I I app the same sign the motion carries and we are on to a board committee
reports uh public input there was no public input today and there was no uh nobody here for truth or taxation um and Facilities uh did meet on the
12th anything for us Mr M uh so yeah L facilities met last week um and discussed a couple LTL um items uh there's been a couple maintenance items and stuff that have kind of climbed up the priority list
here recently and one being U um re Roofing the Community Education roof um that was one section of that was not touched during the addition back now
2014 um it does have a older basted roof it's like 20 years old or so now um and it's essentially at the end of its or nearing the end of its life and definitely out of warranty and looking at replacing that particular roof with
with a garar roof um we have most of our most of our R across the district RS that have a 30e warranty on them and looking at replacing Community Ru here in the next in the next
summer and potentially around that $400,000 Mark which will come from the fund uh the other the other item and stuff and you know there's a few large items hanging on the horizon as far as
spoiler issues and things but the field Turf has been one of them and it's been one that's kind of ens slated even from a few more years out and hopeful that we can essentially get it down we've already gone past the life expectancy of the current field surf um and it looks
at this point in time and stuff that maybe now would be the best time to do it here this next summer knowing that there's going to be greater increase in PR here um after the first of the year um you know we could potentially maybe
right this another year or so um uh the first tests on the fields had failed this year they had added additional pellets and um and at that time and stuff it passed but the biggest issue not so much the the pet content and
stuff it's actually the grass itself um so looking at essentially doing a replacement of the field Turf between the gold po stuff for this next year as well um now with that would come fully out of the ltf fund um
the ltf fund would essentially get down to about 22,000 in 2425 um and with those two big ticket items and stuff would be um uh more deficit in 2526 this is a funded stuff that we can
deficit spend out of um we've been down you know 500,000 in the past and stuff during the um maintenance and building project in 2014 um and it's a fund that you can go below but as long as you have a plan to get out of and in the coming years and
stuff it definitely recoups pretty quickly and stuff adding about $750,000 per year so get to quickly Back in Black for which we then have some other bigger items as far as the the boiler the high school boiler Middle School boilers and
stuff that also be attended to but those were those were discussions and questions for Branded or LM land facilities okay thank you brand um with that we move on to
Personnel they have not met nor has Finance nor policy uh Student Activities has not me nor that anything any of those um that we should talk about before we get to community okay then we have Miss
Richards with Community Education heads met right uh Community Education met last week there was a lot of conversation about um Child Care rates and so Jenny and her team have been actively working on that with Bob they received feedback from some of the
advisory council members that were an attendance both staff and parents and so they're through May some feedback and um how that might impact families in the future but more to come on that it was
uh a great meeting and um I think that was probably the biggest thing that came out of it we've talked a little bit about some of the Staffing changes that Community is making maybe the last or two meetings ago to make sure that they are growing along with uh Community
Education as it's grown over the years so some of that restructuring um and putting staff members in new roles Orting them to different roles as questions Z will be meeting on Thursday night thank you
Angie with that we also have legislative but Mr torlon is not here I don't know if Mr do you have anything for legisl again um last week um the safe State safe committee met and it was really
just a breakdown of what's coming up the new legislative session there were two um legislators that spoke um one that was a Democrat one that was a republican talking about hopefully this will be more of a cohesive uh group moving forward because I all
what's best for everybody and uh they just talked about you know that impact of the legislation and the Surplus that was there a couple of years ago may not be there this time around so they're going to have to do some very creative um ideas on how they're going to give out money throughout the state moving
forward especially this bium and uh you know there was a lot to be determined moving forward so they were really kind of I don't want to say evasive but we're very generic with their conversation overall any questions on that I think it's right back to you then
for uh superintendent y Communications thank you well thank you um since November board meeting I've had the opportunity to attend two great cohort Finance Academy sessions um those are hosted by the Minnesota associ Association masasa uh these cover these
sessions cover various topics around school financing and options in Minnesota special education financing budgeting enrollment forecasting tools benchmarking against other school district to make sure that you're pretty much in comparison what the school district's doing and you're not 12
landish in different areas um demographic studies and running different types of school district elections whether it be Bond or referendum or operting L and things like that um on December 3rd the district's strategic planning leadership team meant to review the input and draft clear
statements of the desired daily experiences that went out with our students staff and families the team then worked in small groups to refine these stat which were finalized and incorporated into a survey um the survey was sent out on the 11th of December and
it was distributed students in grades 5 through 12 all staff and families and it remains open until December 20th our goal is to gather as much feedback as we possibly can from all stakeholders as we move forward with that process of what
is it that families and students and parents want when their students enter the buildings at C medical schools on December 6th I met with the three newly elected school board members that have never been on the board before we had a very brief two-hour orientation if
you can call that brief and uh I wanted to answer any questions they might have had ahead of their first meeting in January get feedback and um just kind of give them what are the goals and what does it mean to be a school board member as a student representative shared earlier December has been a busy
month with numerous activities sporting events B in Choir concerts and it's been really wonderful to see our students participating but more than anything else the strong Community the strong Community attendance at these events to support all of our students whether it be on the
stage at the rink on the court on the mat whatever it may be you know and we talked about last Friday night you want to get there early to get a seat for wrestling and things like that but it's been it's been a pleasure to watch our students perform in the TR support on that um that concludes my update does
anybody have any questions for me if not at one one thing okay um those of you know that uh director Tolson isn't here this evening but he wanted me to share
this um I want to take a moment tonight to recognize three of our board members who are completing their terms each of these individuals has made significant contributions to our school district and their dedication and service deserve our gratitude first I would like to
acknowledge Angie Richards Angie strong leadership and work experience unal un qualify un qualify her for this role she has been a strong utility player often filling the role of where we needed her her contributions to Our Community
Education Department and her unwavering support of our extracurricular activities are clear next we have Brandon m during the pandemic Brandon's medical background was crucial to our success in navigating the unknown one his vision and unwavering passion for Senor high
school expansion through were unmatched thanks to his efforts we now enjoy beautiful spaces in our Commons a state of-the-art reforming Arts Center and a modernized construction tech department his contribution have truly transformed our facilities and enriched the educational experience for our
students last I want to K I want to honor Kent Harman not only did Kent Mentor me as I joined the board his dedication to seeing all students succeed in life is evident and every and evident in everything that he does his focus on keeping our kids success at the
center of every decision has been instrumental in leading our district to become a high performing one his commitment to Excellence and student achievement has set a standard that will guide us for years to come Angie Brandon and Kent thank you for your service your passion and your commitment to our
school district your contributions made a profound impact and we are deeply grateful for your time and dedication I personally want to thank you for always valuing my perspective even when we didn't agree As you move on please know that you leave behind a legacy of
excellence and you will be missed and I would just like to add to that a little bit stole a little bit of my thunder add something but his is better than mine um I would just say thank you for the work you've done it has made a real
difference not just for today but for the future of cassid Manville you've helped shape the direction of this district and we're all better off because of your service thank you for your time your energy and your heart we appreciate all you've done and we wish
you the very best in whatever comes next you will always be part of the Comet family thank you and at a token of appreciation um a lifetime pass I guess it comes out you would you guys like having a picture
taken I picture [Applause] okay thank you um Mr TR he not here Mr Mr Y and um everybody's been a part of the last last uh number of years um so
thank you um we do have um uh a consent agenda item but then if You' please stay um because we do have superintendent 's evaluation that we're going to go through um after um the admin reports
and the consent agenda here I think it's probably the most impactful thing as a board member that we do is to um to hire a superintendent and and invest time um collaborating with them and um and then doing that
evaluation which is a significant uh work by board members um to do that so um I would encourage you to stay around for that even after the U the admin reports if you would so with that we are
on to the admin reports um any input for um for our staff for our staff that is here I see Mr L uh made it back in so thank you Mr Lang thank you everybody um board reports
anything ad I noticed in the um was elementary and middle school that we've had student teachers is that new and developing or is that something that we've always had and we're just highlighting it in the board report think we we didn't have any
last year but we had two great ones from Davis this year that reached out from the area and they did an amazing job one of them actually a long term sub position lined up in
Wilmer so um yeah they're doing they doing great I don't know for Josh I think he's had him off and on before as well it's really up to the university to reach out and then we try to find a good fit and these two were great fits for what we looking
for it's also a great um Talent option or opportunity for us to expose our school district to Future um staff as well yeah one of them has already told us that we have an open position she's coming back so and they both also are
doing some coaching and things so they understood how important that is one hockey and one gymnastics on the behavioral d there was a 3 to one ratio like what what does that mean for every one negative we
register we want to see three positives so when the the teacher gives out a stop and think there should also be three positives and for each child we should see three positives to every negative that they get so that's just kind of our challenge but also the data shows that that you know helps build resiliency in
those things Mr Lal can you talk a little bit about the Beyond substance that you mentioned um and you have okay thank you yes I wish Nicole KU was here she could share also because she did some of the leg
work of securing um some Grant dollars through Dodge County Public Health but what we have always wanted to provide students is uh especially in the situation where there's discipline involved in a chemical violation uh we've always wanted to offer support and
positive change moving forward and by way of of some help therapy counseling and that we that's kind of been a hurdle for a long time but things kind of came together and there's uh a service in town stage by stage with some licensed
chemical chemical dependency counselors and we reached out to them and we did some scheduling work and so it comes uh somebody from their agency licensed comes once a week Wednesdays and they meet up here actually it's kind of private um kids know about it uh they
can either self refer through that would usually come through a counselor sometimes parents contact us and and are just reaching out for some help not knowing about this program then we can connect them to that or the other way we refer students there is through uh
violation here at school or through State High School violation outside school so um it's been well received it's it's growing in numbers and we have a nice brochure that I decided to put in the agenda this month so thanks for
noticing that thank you Mr I also noticed both um in community ad and the teaching and learning we talked about grants that we are awarded the school districts I think it just continually shows the success that we've
had by being creative and thinking about other opportunities and how that can impact kids so just say Kudos and congratulations thank you for doing that and for continuing to look for those opportunities for kids I have a question uh for Community
Ed um it looks like the average in day per month are going down um what is that attributed to I hope is some um consistency and longevity of staff that we're starting
to turn that corner a little bit where we've had some more stability um so that would be one thing and then just attesting to um our like Behavior plans and interventions and things that we're trying to do which will be a big piece of J's job now that Rook is gone so we're excited to put her in there but um
having those in place um and then also just the beginning of the year is kind of like a little bit crazy for kids as they're trying to understand the routine some of them transition three to four times a day it just depends on the programs that they're attending so it's usually High Times during transitions outdoor play
those a little bit more unstructured activities so yeah and then we continue to train staff as well as as the year goes on so yeah we're excited to see that it could be interesting come January after winter break so we'll see it could be so far though it looks really good so good
job for activities how did the girls wrestling meet versus Chatfield go we just had three matches our girls actually went there to Chatfield the next day for tournament we
had one to begin and two to end jch sure uh we worked out and they were able to bring a couple of their girls that were pretty close to the same weight so worked out pretty good nice but they're they're off to a good started just absorbing all the knowledge they're all
seventh graders so they have that experience uh in the youth wrestling but also you know they're they're pretty pretty raw in terms of some of the new they learning and getting exped to these girls JV
experience yeah it's been it's been good Amy's doing a great job her husband helps out all the time awesome forunate to have Kratos is a nice Avenue for them to train through and have kind of their own little homec never mind that
um I just wanted to comment on that $15,000 um was it a grant for the computer science program yeah we're excited we applied for um we are a little more ambitious me
like for $50,000 expansion Grant there was $1,000 grants for new programming 50 um for current programming so we thought we we'd go for the bigger one we didn't get it this was due September 15 we didn't get it and then we cired back
they Circle back to us last week or two weeks ago and said well actually we found some more funding and you are right next to on the list so we are able to fund some of our wish lists which is really exciting so um if you remember we took several teachers on a little field trip last spring they made their wish
lists and had kind of a really great plan for implementation and so we're going to be able to fund some of that and we're actually going to use some of Ryan kma's donation dollars that were slated for something else and it's a project we can't do for a few reasons and we're going to try to fund as much as we can of the remaining with those
dollars so we're going to get robots in every grade level and integrate those into our our gen classrooms um which is really exciting teachers already have a vision for it so we're just kind of ready to go with that so very exciting
that's awesome thank you for your work in that just one more for Mr Lango and um it won't be a Vikings question although you're perfectly um yeah clothe for it um and so you've had maybe even a little experience now with Pathways to college
credits with your daughter maybe I don't know about that but um can you talk about that program just a little bit because I think um anytime we get an opportunity to talk about it so such a benefit and I know um M Richards was talking about it earlier
tonight with her daughter and so if you talk about that program just a little bit would be great yeah Pathways to college credit is what we rebranded what formerly was known as before I arrived the the PSO meeting which by Statute you have to have an
informative meeting for parents and students um to make them aware of the traditional PSO model which is students leave campus and go to a different institution um and we just flipped it around and we frontload it all with the ways to get college credit by staying
right here uh long been uh offerings here we've expanded carefully each year um not just through concurrent enrollment we have four different partners for a concurrent enrollment um the AP is also a very legitimate way
students can um sit down and take one test in the spring and transfer college credit we have some articulation agreements and all of our Project Lead the Way classes have an endof course assessment that can be carried to a few different highered institutions so uh
very clear about uh all of the opportunities we have here and with that being said we recognize that for some families and some students they are most interested in how they um access opportunities off offsite here through
most likely uh rctc so that is the other part of that evening's presentation and I can tell you this genuinely each year when we share the considerations that families and students should make um
there are there's more each year that I and I just share them I said these aren't Scare Tactics I obviously have a vested interest in keeping students here but my my experience each year leads me to need to share with you all of these things to consider you know we talk a
lot about uh seniors when you go and you take required for km graduation classes through rctc and it doesn't go well those are some tough meetings because if you don't meet the grad requirements um you don't participate in the ceremony and then we have one of those about
every year and so I share that um I think that I would have this microphone for a long long time if you wanted me to talk about uh the the balance we make about making our environment our offerings um rigorous we hold kids accountable here for behavior and
attendance and we work just super hard to engage all kids in all Pathways um with that being said it's it's it's a tough fight sometimes because of what PSO can offer kids that are looking for mainly flexibility in their schedule with courses online uh we have seen a
decrease in full-time PSO students and we've seen an increase in part-time PSO students it's come and go all day they all aart education kids want to take certain classes here and they also want that flexibility in their schedule to take often times online classes to rctc
but they don't ever have to leave city of cast rille so that's that's the the world we live in at the high school and it's certainly one where we are watching Trends and always looking to offer things that keep our students here and I think the district uh and the
high school does an incredible job of offering opportunities and the number of credits that students can get right here without leaving um these hallways is uh is a credit the work that happens at the high school so thank you for
that other comments for admin team okay um thank you admin team for coming you certainly um stay around if you'd like um and we will continue we will continue on but I do
understand that they have um few minutes too so with that we have uh we're moving to the consent agenda we have um do we have a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented some thank you Andie and a
second thank you Brandon any discussion on the consent agenda hearing none all those in favor of approval of consent agenda stay I I same sign the motion carries and we are on to discussion
items so um our one discussion item again tonight is superintendent y's um evaluations um we will go through that summary um I think Carlin will have that up there for you when we get start as we
get started here but as I mentioned earlier um the um biggest single impact I think uh as a board we can have on the academic success of of the students in this um
Community is finding the right um leader to lead the district collaborating with them and then um the big part of that is the evaluation process um as we go through that and it's a significant amount of work um the board goes through
um to do this and so we have that for Mr in tonight um any other comments before I walk through this from board members okay okay so um a little background how
this works um at C mville over the years is um we've developed a questionnaire of 18 questions um that go to each board member and then um they can respond there's two ways you respond you respond one with a numeric um number um
equivalent to um uh the quality of um the quality you believe the superintendent is um providing in that to that question and then there's a comment section to that correspondingly
and um we as we go through those we put those into a number of different categories um seven of them the first is instructional leadership policy and governance planning and assessments organiz AAL management communication and
community relations and um professionalism so um and then at the very end we have the um goals uh for the year so as each board member goes through and
does this the evaluation um those get summarized by the board chair and um get sent out will get sent out to each board member at the end of the meeting tonight um but then um there's a summary that uh the board chair puts together and we
will go through that tonight and I will pick off a few of the um answers to some of the questions as we go through so it'll um uh this is uh board centered so it will uh it will it will be a few
minutes here so just so everybody's aware um and interactive if as board members have um have other input as we walk through and would like to share um certainly feel free to that but um very
