>> I just want to congratulate our new board members. Um, our existing board members that were sworn in, but also our two new board members. Congratulations also. Congratulations. Sorry. Still nothing. I don't know. Um, congratulations to uh
to Dr. Scardino and uh Mr. Valvano for president and vice president. But at this time, I'd just like to also address the full board. Um, and just what to to see if at the next meeting at January, there's some HIV training um that I'd like to conduct for the full board. Um,
you don't have to tell me right this second, but since I have everyone as a collective audience, um, if possible, work session normally starts around 5:45, but on the 27th, if you could come possibly 4:30, 4:45, I'd like our
director of special services, who is our HIP coordinator, to do a HI training. I just think it's a good time to start the year off. We do have some HIV cases that we we do have to discuss in January. So, if possible, again, you don't have to let me know right this second. and I will send out an email to everyone, but
I just wanted to mention it so you could start looking at your calendars. Um, Dr. Tum and Miss Russo, I will be setting up your email. Um, I'll reach out to you and show you how to, you know, um, access your email. Um, so I'll reach out to you um, tomorrow or or or early next week. It's very simple process and this
way you can, you know, get all the emails and you'll be put um, on the board email group as well. So um, congratulations to everyone again and um, thank you. You're welcome. Yeah, thank you. And um you know, it's interesting. I I don't know if anybody's been in the position to have to vote for
yourself. It's it's not an easy thing to do. Uh so if I shied away when when that vote came around, it's not easy. Uh the one thing I want to do is thank the board. Um especially for allowing me to serve as president for a second year. Uh
it's incredibly humbling uh to get the full support of the board. Um to be able to work with uh Paul Pasamano as vice president this last year and the rest of the board and now to get a chance to work with uh a young energetic uh man
like uh Michael Valvano. I'm very excited. Uh one of the things and I don't want to bore you with u academic stuff although I think Dr. the tuma would enjoy it. But I uh I just want to want to share with you that one of the things that I've researched in my uh in
in in my past is servant leadership. And I don't know if anybody's familiar with it, but it it I was cleaning my office today getting ready for a new semester and I came across one of the books and one of the articles I've written about it and it inspired me. It was interesting that I actually found it
today as I was cleaning the office and servant leadership is about serving others. it you know people get into positions of power or title and it becomes sometimes it becomes about them. Uh certainly our charge is to create the greatest opportunity for our students
and the people who support them in particular our superintendent our business administrator all this the building uh um uh leaders uh the principles the teachers uh our custodial staff everyone that creates an
incredible opportunity. I used to run Lynhurst soccer for many years and I used to tell the volunteer coaches you could be as comp teach them the skills, teach them um how to be good teammates, teach them all those things, but you have such a short window to create
incredible opportunity. That's what we see here as a board. We're going to do some really great things this year. I'm looking forward to working with all of you and I thank you uh humbly for allowing me to be president again. Thank you. Any other comments from the board?
>> I got a question. >> At this time, can I get a motion to adjurnn? >> All in favor? >> Motion carries. Meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Thank you.
