completed by mid August, but we will keep everybody looped about the timeline for that, but it is going well. Parts are in stock and seems to be going well. The HVAC project for the 19 rooms of Memorial School are also on track. They've gutted all the rooms. They
cleared everything out and they moved in the units. Uh, electricians are coming this week and next week to start hooking them up. So, that is also on track. So, things are going pretty well. And Liberty School is also going very well. Hoping to be fully enclosed by the end
of summer, which means weather tight to the building. So, if we can get all those things accomplished, we'll be in very good shape. And that report um Good. >> Does the board secretary have lunch? >> Yeah, I do. >> Okay. >> Um, so the profit for food service this
year is 22,6944. Um, for the month of June, we s sold 6,965 meals for breakfast and lunch was 5,646 meals. Um, we are closing out the 2526 school year next year. So the G report
will be on August agenda and the auditors have started the 2526 audit but they will be in starting middle of August to for their field work and that's all I have. >> That's why for the board there were no financials on this meeting. It usually
gets doubled up for yours. >> Um I guess we'll open up to committee reports. This is personnel. There's no report. >> This is Beluso on education. Uh, summer learning academy is halfway through and going well with students
receiving the support to prevent the silver slide. Summer professional learning is underway with grades kindergarten and grade two working with Laura Wood on reading and writing instruction. That's the end of my report. Hey, just to add to that too, uh
