Right. Well, good evening, everyone. We'll go ahead and call the meeting to order. Lindsay is helping us out this evening. So if you wanna go ahead and, do roll call for us, please. Sure. Mister Chavez? Here. Miss Evanson? Here. Miss Hype? Here. Mister Jones? Here. Miss Lima? Here. Alright. We do have a couple of changes we need to make to the agenda this evening. We need to remove, policy j h. We're not quite ready for a second reading and adoption for that one.
And then, we would like to move, the charters, to the last two items if you guys are good with that because we can vote on all the other ones rather quickly, if you guys are okay with that. So do I have a motion? And then we'll just bump everything else up one. So do I have a motion to amend the agenda for this evening and accept it? Motion to amend the agenda. Second. K. We'll go ahead and take the vote, seeing mister Chavez? Yes. Miss Evanston? Yes. Miss Heights? Yes. Mister Jones? Yes. Miss Simas?
Yes. Okay. So first on the agenda, we have policy IHBA. Do a motion to approve policy IHBA. Motion to approve policy IHBA. Second. K. Any discussion? Those were some minor red line corrections in state, basically, things from the state that we have to put into our policies. So okay. Seeing no discussion, we can take the vote. Mister Chavin? Miss Evanston? Yes. Missus Heights? Yes. Mister Jones? Yes. Miss Lima? Yes. K. Do you have a motion to approve policy JEA? Motion to approve.
Second. K. Basically, the same same thing. So mister Chavez? Approved. Miss Evanston? Yes. Missus Heights? Yes. Mister Jones? Yes. Miss Lima? Yes. Alright. Next up, as you remember last week, Dan gave us an update on or the, contract approval for our networking. So So do I have a motion for the LANWAN contract approval? Motion to approve LANWAN contract. Do I have a second? Second. Any discussion on the contract? I think this is great that it'll be obviously longer and more consistent.
And whatever the loop thing means that we won't get disrupted, I think that sounds good. So I don't think anybody likes it when their Internet is disrupted. I know my kids don't, so I think that sounds great. So alright. Seeing no further discussion, we can move for the approval or vote. Excuse me. Mister Chavez? Approved. Missus Evanston? Yes. Missus Hype? Yes. Mister Jones? Yes. Miss Lima? Yes. Alright. Alright. And then next up, we have a resolution to delegate the election official. So we do have, an election this November. So,
Amy Navarette will be the district's, our election official for this fall for the school board election. Do I have a motion to adopt the resolution, to designate our election official? Motion to adopt. Motion to approve. Second. K. Alright. We'll motion Yep. Doctor Evanston second. Alright. Any discussion? K. Seeing none, we can take note. Oh, go ahead, Barb. I would like to say that I had absolutely no idea what in what went into this process until I, filed my affidavit to run for school board,
and the amount of effort that miss Navarette puts into this is absolutely awesome. I appreciate her so very much. She is an asset that without we would be we we would be in not a great place. So thank you so very much for all that you do, miss Amy. Like, you are amazing, and we appreciate you so very much. Absolutely. Well said. Yes. Well said. Director Evanston, thank you so much for that. Yes. It sounds very simple on paper, and a lot of work obviously goes into it behind the scenes. Thank you for that.
Alright. We'll go ahead and take the vote for the election official. Mister Chavez? Mhmm. Missus Evanston? Yes. Missus Heights? Yes. Mister Jones? Yes. Miss Lima? Yes. Alright. Next up, we have the resolution to approve our new strategic plan. Thanks everyone for, stapling it to this week. I know it's been we've had a lot on, our plate this last month. So do I have a motion to approve a resolution for our new five year strategic plan? Motion to approve. Second. Any discussion? I'm pretty excited. I think it's a great plan.
I I think the plan, really gives us a lot of guidance in moving forward. I was at the the, CASB quarterly meeting this last week, and it's amazing how many districts actually don't have a strategic plan. And they seem a little rudderless in their vision and their mission, and I I honestly don't know how you know where you're going as a district if you don't have a strategic plan. So I'm very thankful that for the time and effort that, for our community and for CSI, for c no. CEA. Thank you. I'm like, which acronym am I looking for?
Thank you, doctor Hill. For them working with us. So, Andrea, I'd like to just throw in also just an extra special thanks to all the community members that that were there for all of the all or most, of those committee meetings. They worked really hard on this, went back out into the community to to gather information, and brought back to the community. It it was really a great community effort. Yes. Great. Do I have a motion to approve the resolution for the new strategic plan? We already did that. Oh, sorry. That was discussion. Just go ahead.
Alright. We can take the vote. Moving on. Missus Chavez? Approved. Missus Evanston? Yes. Missus Heine? Yes. Mister Jones? Yes. Missus Lima? Yes. I just wanna, say thanks to the board for approving that real quick. Sorry, for the public, I got pneumonia, so I'm going to turn this one of my cameras off so you don't have to see me hawking stuff up. So but I do appreciate the board approving this. And, you know, think about three years ago, we approved at five o and, all the progress we've made as a district. And I'm really proud of the work of our team, and this board,
and holding ourselves accountable to goals and targets that we've set. And to reiterate what was said earlier, I appreciate the steering committee. I appreciate Colorado Education Initiative for coming in and partnering with us, and they'll continue to work with us. And Jen and and, her team and, really all of our senior leadership members who have contributed to this. It's just as president Haidt said, it's really important that we have a North Star for a district or else we can get sidetracked on a lot of different things. And so I'm excited for the next five years. And I think, you know, we're gonna change the trajectory of,
our county and our community, through the work we're gonna do through this plan. So thanks to everybody who contributed, and thanks to the board for approving this. I really appreciate it. Thank you, doctor Hill. That was well said. Alright. Then next up, we have our licensed and administrative personnel actions. So do I have a resolution to approve those? Or a motion, excuse me, that we don't need a resolution. Oh, I am ready for summer break. Can you tell? Motion to approve. Second. Alright. Seeing no discussion, we can go ahead and take the vote. Mister Chavez? Approved. Missus Evanston? Yes. Missus Hanks? Yes. Mister Jones?
Yes. Miss Lima? Yes. Alright. So then next up, we have, Somerset Academy Scenic View Charter School, resolution. Alright. So we, do we have the motion for Somerset? Doctor Hill, was there anything that we needed to hear from, the district? Yeah. I'd I'll just say, well, one, you know, I do appreciate, the folks who applied, to wanna be a part of the district and and wanna, you know, open up more options in the district. So I do appreciate, the individuals and the organizations that applied. I also wanna thank the, the team that worked on this,
Jen, in particular, who spearheaded there's a lot of work that goes into, the application process and the review and everything for when you have charters. So thanks to to Jen and her team and everybody who worked on that to the DAC as well who reviewed it. And the hours and hours and days that have gone into this. And then also just thanks to the board, for your leadership as well. So you have you have two resolutions tonight, for each, of the the two individual charters that applied. And so based on the scoring, in the rubric and the results from that process, the recommendation for both,
and the resolution state that is to deny both of them at this time. And the resolution mentions the reasons why. Obviously, there's a lot of data behind all that as well. But that is the the recommendation for both of the applicants tonight is, a denial. And so you have resolutions for both of those, this evening. So again, I know that's probably disappointing for some, but I do wanna say we appreciate, everybody who went through this process. And, and so I'll leave it to the board with that. Okay. Alright, board. We can have the motion second and then discussion. So, Second. Oh, sorry. Well So I'm I'm I'm making a motion to,
accept the resolution to design Somerset Academy Scenic View. And I'm seconding the resolution? Yes. Okay. Now do we have discussion? So there is something that I wanna bring forward. I worked in the district as a security officer for several years, And I'm gonna bring this forward now, and I've held this for a very long time. I know that we had a, highway patrolman that came forward, and I believe that his child attended Scenic at the time. And he had quite a few things that he wanted to say. I served six years as SWAT officer. I served sixteen years as a law enforcement officer,
and ten years of that was spent as, an investigator for the police department in Jacksonville, North Carolina. And then I spent two years as a security officer in the district. Now I'm gonna tell you that the second that I set foot in Scenic and mind you, I wanna put this forward right now, that none of this came forward as any kind of a deciding factor for the close closing of Scenic at any point. This is something that I have intentionally held onto until this exact moment. Not because I felt like Scenic View was gonna come forward as a charter, but after knowing that
they were seen as the end all be all facility, the moment that I set foot in there as a security officer, I felt the dread. I saw where those children were hidden in that room. I knew that there was an opportunity for the smallest of caliber of weapon to penetrate those walls. I knew where they were. I could hear them giggling. And there was no way that I could have signed on to that building continuing to be enforced. However, yet again, I wanna make it a point that at no point have I ever made this
known during any process. I kept this to myself because I wanted this to be an unbiased process. And I just I can't just knowing dead set that Somerset Scenic View is so set on having that building back and that we closed it for a purpose. We closed it for a reason. We closed it because not even what I'm talking about, but structurally, that building has so many issues, and it's a financial issue for our district. But to add on to what I'm saying and that it's a strategic issue,
it's literally I don't even know if I wanna say this, but I guess I'm going to. It is an active shooter's dream. You get one door, you get all doors. And there is so much that needs to go into this building in order to make it a safe environment for students, not only students of district fifty one, but any charter school or anything else that might go into that that has children in it. And so while this is something that I haven't said in the past, this is something that I'm saying now. And the fact that this was the dead set all be end it building that Somerset Scenic View was set on,
that that was a huge wrench in my gears. There were a couple other things that I had issues with that I'm gonna leave, I'm gonna leave some open space for the rest of you to talk, but, that would that was a huge problem for me. Thank you guys for giving me an opportunity to say that. I think for for myself, it doesn't denial doesn't dictate, what those teachers do there. We have some amazing teachers at Scenic, and they do a lot of stuff for our students. They have some amazing kids there. I have kids that play softball right now that went to Scenic and come and talk to me. But I just think that in my opinion,
you know, it it I feel like it it was rushed a little bit, And I know we wanna keep that school intact. I know we wanna do things to make that thing to make the school better. But the whole situation was just it seems like it was we push things in there. We push it through. We wanna keep you know, you guys came to us time meeting after meeting, you wanna keep seeing Nicole, keep our group together, keep our family together. And and I get that. But I just think that we need to have some more planning behind it. And that's that's the main thing for me is, you know, it just does it just seems rushed. It just seemed like it's not the time to do it.
But like I said, it doesn't dictate the people that you are because there are some very caring and wonderful people at Scenic. And, so I'm I'm I'm interested to see what happens in the future, but I'm just, you know, for me, that does a lot of reason for me. I guess, when I looked at it, I didn't look at it as Scenic. I looked at it completely separate as a charter school applying to be part of the district, and that's why I looked at it. So I moved I totally removed myself and everything about Scenic and and just looked at it purely as a charter school and what it was providing and reading it. And I just felt that
there were some parts that were not there. And I think when I looked at the work that Jan and her team put in there, it shows that. So, that's where that is where I stood. Director Lima, do you have any comments? For me, it was probably the, the financial piece of it, that stood out the most, from the the the budget that was presented was just very off with the amount of students that it that it appeared there would realistically be, and and no alternate budget even that would that would provide for significantly less students than the number
that was in that that that budget was built around. So for me, it it the budget was just not there, and there were too many undefined pieces, such as the location and what that was going to cost. There were several of those things, and so for me, that was probably what stood out for me the most. Director Evanson, if you if you have more, go ahead and say what you need to say. So I have a couple of friends, to the community that actually work at other charter schools within the district. And I'll agree with director Lima that one of the things that
I struggled with during this process was the budgetary, line items. So I e one of the things was that they looked at what our starting teachers were making. And, I have a friend that works at a district charter school, and she's been there since I've known her. So we moved here in 2020, so that's roughly five years. And, she's not making the starting salary in which one of our starting teachers is making. Steps and lanes aren't guaranteed. If their school doesn't have the budget, they don't have the budget. And I guess that kind of also goes back to some of the guarantees or
some of the things that we, as a board, have made a distinct effort in order to maintain our steps and lanes. And if the money is not there, she said to me today, if the money is not there, then we don't get it. You can't guarantee something that you don't have. And so looking at the budgetary line items that, Somerset Scenic View had set forth, it was in accordance with our current charter schools that are open, unrealistic. We have teachers that have been there for upwards of five years at some of
our other schools that I mean, and that's up to their board. You know? I mean, they maintain their own budget, but the logic that we were going to start teachers off at $50,000 a year, which we have worked so hard as a board to get to, which you I mean, I say me, but really, I mean, I'm I'm sorry. I'm just kinda falling in behind you and, director Lima and director Jones. Like, I I've I've I've been a part of that this year and partially of it last year, but in the years previous to that,
like, that was a decision that you guys made, like, something that you worked hard on. And that's not necessarily happening in in our other schools or or I shouldn't say schools. I mean, in our other charter affiliates. And so to think that we were just gonna be like, yep. That's what you guys are paying them, and that's what we're gonna pay them. That wasn't that wasn't a logical budget. And so after looking at that and having some some conversations, just to figure out, like, what was being paid to some of our other charter schools and without even letting it be known that that was what I was trying to figure out.
You know? Because you you just have to be very cautious about what you're saying. And I'm just like, hey. Just curious. What are you what are you getting? And so, realizing what a teacher at some of our other charters are getting, like, it just wasn't a logical budget. It was just out of out of the realms of norm or logic or reason, I suppose. And so thinking that there may be steps or lanes even available for them later was a struggle for me. And then, just to realize that and like I said, you know, scenic scenic,
elementary was kind of the end all be all, building. And, I suppose that I just expect that there would have been some kind of side facility or at least conversations to have been had for another facility that may have been a potential prospect for, for Scenic View, had the, the Scenic Elementary building not, went the way that they wanted it to. And just to hear that there was no other conversation of another facility was kind of disheartening, I guess, would be the best to say.
Because there are other buildings within our community that would be a great fit for a Somerset Scenic View. So I guess that was an issue for me that it was just kind of all laid down on one building. And this is kind of like our, I guess, I'm not sure what the right word is. Like, this is this is us. Like, this is what makes us. Like, the way that this building is is what's going to be perfect for us. And so I guess I would have just liked to have seen alternative plans or, you know, I mean, a secondary or a third plan, if if if anything.
So there were quite a few things. And then I I would like to say, however, that, you know, I took a significant amount of time to review this data and a lot of the interviews and the, information that was set forth. And I want to give an just a shout out to Somerset Scenic View that so many people came in and they were present and they were there and they were tangible and they were physically in front of the the the board that sat
in front of them. Like, I appreciate that so much because above all things, being present and being tangible and being physically there is an amazing thing. And that is by far one of the greatest things that I saw. Like, thank you for being there and being available to answer the questions and being available, you know, to just I mean, it and it's even harder sometimes I think when you're in person because it's like that face to face interaction. And, I I guess the way I've always put it is you don't get to be a keyboard warrior or you don't get to be, like, separated from the environment. So thank you all for being there for for that.
Like, that was that was a great display of, of showmanship when it came down, to the interview process. But, I think there needs to be a lot more thought process put into the facility. There needs to be a lot more thought process process put into the budget, not just per pupil funding, but, you know, like, understanding the totality of the budget. Maybe some meetings to be had with the district in the future, but, I don't wanna discourage you guys from not being a charter. I think that it was something that was, like, very pushed as director Jones said.
Like, it was something like we want this, we need this. It's important to us. But I think that there were a lot of gaps that could have been filled given the time. And if you had more time, I think that you could have made it, way more solid than what it was this go around. So I think you guys did a good job given the time frame, but I think that it could have been way more, substantial if you had some time to fill in those gaps. Thank you, director Evanston. Anybody else have anything else? Alright. I, I just kinda had to put my thoughts together. I had spent some time,
obviously, watching the interviews, reviewed the emails from the community, and also went through the entire rubric, looking at, you know, the strengths and weaknesses. You know, I know I I believe we all did that. So, you know, so with Somerset Academy Scenic View, there were definitely some encouraging signs. Their team did show up in person for the capacity interview, so thank you for that. We also saw community members attend the public meetings. Those things certainly matter. So, thank you guys for that. The willingness to engage is always appreciated and speaks to a level of commitment.
So, those things, really, like Director Evison said, those things really do make a difference when you're trying to, present your case or present, what you're wanting to bring into the district. Obviously, some of the things that were stated tonight were some concerns. When it comes to charter, obviously, having been on a charter board, the two biggest things where charters fail are finances and leadership. And when the district is putting their seal of approval on a charter, we're what we're basically doing is saying that we're, you know, one,
we're we're approving you and that, we're partnering with you in this and that we, and that we're giving you our blessing. And so in in that, there were some concerns I had. I did not see a level of preparedness that gives me the confidence, in in your ability quite yet to open and operate a school successfully. As director Evanston said, there was no secured facility. It seemed like that kinda changed a lot. The financial plan and the inconsistencies, that lacked contingency measures were concerning, because there was some talk about getting grants afterwards,
which I I understand that that's kinda how that works, but also, the lending from the management organization. There was just kind of a lot of that, I think, that still needs to get worked out. And the academic program really remained unclear to me, particularly around curriculum alignment, and some assessment strategies. And and, unfortunately, the capacity interview did not resolve these concerns for me. Beyond the operational gaps, what kept coming back to me, and I just I kept looking for this, is the unique value of Somerset. The the biggest thing for charters is what what are they offering that we already
don't have in d '51? It has to be a niche. And I really I mean, I just kept looking and looking and looking, and I could not find a clear answer. The instructional model that, you know, that they were excuse me, were proposing honestly, closely mirrored what we already have in many of our district schools. It didn't bring, any distinct innovation or meet any specific unmet need, that I could see in our community that we aren't already doing. You may not agree with me with that, but I just honestly could not see where it was really meeting,
something that we aren't already doing in our district schools. And so, you know, without that, I don't believe, that we were expanding an option. I just felt like we were duplicating an effort, with that. So, for me, that's I just didn't see that there was enough of a uniqueness or a niche, with that charter. And so, those were just some of the hang ups for me, with the with the Somerset Academy. So those were just some of the thoughts that I had to kinda put together for myself. So, alright. So the motion, on the table, just to remind the board, is to adopt the resolution,
you know, for now, at this point, to, deny the the Somerset Scenic View Charter. So, we have the motion and the second, so we'll go ahead and take the vote. Mister Chavez. Yes. Missus Evanston. Yes. Missus Heights. Yes. Mister Jones. Yes. Miss Lima. Yes. Alright. Next up, doctor Hill, did you you you said both, right, when you were talking Yeah. I I figured I would take them one by one, but, yes, same same as I said before. Appreciate folks applying and everyone who went through this process. This is also one that's a recommendation for denial,
so you have that in front of you, this evening. Alright. Do I have a motion for the gateway for success resolution? Motion to accept the relation resolution to deny the, gateway to success program. Second. Okay. Board, any discussion on gateway for success? So I mentioned with Somerset Scenic View that I significantly appreciated them all being in person. And I viewed the documents and interviews at length. I think that something that just my personal my personal perspective is that I would have appreciated someone being in the room.
We also had an opportunity beforehand for anyone that was an advocate of this program to come forward, and no one was present. Secondly, there were no letters of intent. So or at least not a significant amount of letters of intent. And so for me to see a school, I mean and I I know that we've already talked about Scenic View, but Scenic View at least provided some letters of intent. I didn't see any significant letters of intent to justify the,
attendance for this particular charter school. Something that would have I I don't know. Like, when I was running for school board, you know, I knew how many signatures I needed to have. And so my goal was to have 150% of those signatures. And so if your if your attendance level is to be, you know, 300 students, then I would expect way in excess of 300 letters of intent, and that was just not something that we had here. And so to see that there was just not a a community
uprisal or necessity for this for this charter school was something that kind of persuaded my decision, in this process. To also, not have anyone physically show up for the the interviews was also something that I I looked at. Also some of the budgetary things. You know, there were conversations during this about title two, title three, title four. So just conversations that were had during the interview process that just led me to believe that it was not wholeheartedly thought through.
That has been something that has has played a, has played in my decision making process for this. Thank you. Any other discussion, board? Doctor Lima, do you have anything? You just called me doctor Lima, and I really appreciate that. Oh. I'm kidding. Doctor, doctor. I'll just call everybody doctor. I would I I think director Evanston, hit on many of the things that that I found issue with with this, application as well. Doctor Chavez, director Jones. Okay. So I also had an issue with,
facilities, which may be something that you come up with, President Heights, because with your real estate background. I suppose that something that I expected was these are our perspective locations, and and kind of definitive locations. Not well maybe or if or tentatively or anything like that. I mean, even if it was just reaching out to, you know, a commercial realtor and saying, hey. What areas are available? What what could we potentially be looking at? So, again, location,
location, location. That was an issue for me also. I I wanna know where our kids are gonna be at. You know? I wanna know that they're in an environment that's safe. I mean, security was something that has been a concern for me from the beginning and will always be a concern for me. And so to to to not know where, students will potentially be and if the environment is safe and if the building is safe. And if, you know, all of these things are intact that we would require as a district in any of our facilities, are intact are a bit of an issue for me.
So I think that, going forward, it would be important for them to know that they need to have, a little bit more of a definitive ideology of where they're gonna place their facilities at, and having that before the closure date. And not and I probably should have brought this up previously, but it's also important that the if there's any ancillary data that you want us to have about your process, it's important that you give us to it give it to us before the closure date, which I believe was June 9 in this process. So, you know, don't wait until, like,
you see the agenda items to then send us, like, let's clear this up, which wasn't necessarily this, this charter school. But just as a as a bigger picture, if there's something that you feel like needs to be cleared up, clear it up before the closure date of the process. Don't wait until don't be reactive. Be proactive. Thank you, director Vinson. Alright. Yeah. So I, again, on this one, just had to collect my thoughts again. Just went through the interviews, went through the rubric. You know, we've some of us have gone through this before again,
before just looking again through the rubric and, weighing through these things again. You know, I'm always, I always get excited when we see these applications that we're hopeful that this will bring something new and meaningful to, the district. And and, again, I just did not see, preparedness in key areas, for this charter as well. Like our director Evanston said, no facility was even indicated. It's not hard to just even give a general idea, even if it's not necessarily the one that you'll pick at that time. Just even, going and finding, some different facilities to give the board and the community an idea of,
some different areas that might work. You know, just a lack of any kind of idea was, a little disappointing. There was no clear plan for special education or English language learner students. There was vague academic benchmarks. The financial model was, concerning and a little confusing. And then just some major unanswered questions that I just feel they need more time to work on. So there were certainly still some ideas with promise, but the execution plan, just felt incomplete. So, again, if we're giving our blessing and our stamp of approval on this, we need to make sure that everything,
like, every I and every t is crossed. So, every I is dotted and every t is crossed. So, but I'm gonna say that what really stood out to me the most and, frankly, what really disappointed me the most and Director Evanson touched on this was the lack of presence. If you can't show up in person to the interviews and if you have no one come to the community meetings, I'm sorry. As a board member, I took my Saturday, which my time is probably my most valuable asset, away from my family.
And if I can come down here to the boardroom and sit here on a Saturday to listen to community members, which I am very happy to do, but if not one community member wants to come down here and advocate for the charter, And then if the charter school themselves cannot show up here in person, which I will give Somerset, kudos that they came here from Florida. Somebody came from Vegas. I mean, I don't know where y'all came from. But I will give Somerset kudos that they came from all over. But I am highly disappointed that Gateway for Success did not have one person physically
in the room. And I'm sorry, as a board, to tell me that you then value coming into our community when you don't even value showing up to the interview and then you have no one coming to the public meeting to advocate for your school. I'm sorry. It's really hard for me to take that seriously. So, that may sound a little bit harsh, but it it's just hard for me to buy that you really wanna be in our community and that you wanna be a part of our community if you can't even be here,
in person. And I don't think we need to tell you that you have to be here in person. I just you're an adult, and I think you should figure that out, and you should know that yourself. So, beyond the gaps in planning and presence, again, there was a question of purpose. Gateway's proposed model largely duplicates what we already are doing in this very room, in this very school that we're sitting in right now, which we're doing successfully at R5. We already have a high performing state rated alternative program serving this population. Again, I feel there was sort of a lack of,
maybe even research of what we're what we already do in District 51. And so, for me, I felt it was a duplication of what we're already doing, in the program of R5. And so, for me, I just, I don't see the value in duplicating something that we're already doing in District 51. So, it's, again, it's not bringing something unique or different than what we're already doing, in our district. So, for me, it's a no. So again, so we can go ahead and Or does Did anybody wanna share anything else?
Okay. Alright. We can take the vote. Mister Chavez. Approved. Mister Mrs. Evenson. No. It's we're we're the motion Proving. We're approving the motion the the I know it's a little it's a it's a yeah. Yeah. I I It's it's confusing. There you go. Yes. I approve the resolution. Missus Heights? Yes. Mister Jones? Yes. Miss Lima? Yes. Alright. Next step is open board discussion. Board, did you have anything else that you wanted to share before the end of the meeting? The only thing I'd just like to once again thank Jen and her team for
putting everything together and giving us all that information. I really appreciate all the work that they did, so thank you so very much. Yeah. You know, director Chavez, that's a great point. I mean, everybody, Somerset, you know, coming and doing your work. I it's no small task to put a charter together. I've been a part of one. Jen, Dak, Clint, you know, yeah, the whole team, even, the the gal from the charter, authorization district. I mean, I you guys brought a really good team in to do all of it, so I'm very thankful, to everybody. So thank you, director Chavez. That's a great point. So, these are hard,
decisions sometimes and, but, you know, just we have to look at them kinda from this big level. And, anyways, it's just I agree. But thank you to everybody for the work that was done on on all levels on both sides. Thank you. Anything else? I know we have, executive session next week with us, our last public meeting. So just thanks to the board because I know it's a volunteer job, and y'all get the month of July off. So congratulations. That's your bonus. But, hopefully, y'all get some rest because it's a challenging position for y'all as well. So, and we'll be back in August.

And so you go into executive session, obviously, to discuss personnel items, and so the board will be reviewing exec that during executive session just so that everybody's aware. To be here with pneumonia. I don't know about it. I know. Alright. Do you have a motion to adjourn? Motion to adjourn. Alright. Thank you, everyone. Have a good evening.
