any board of education member received schoolboard related emails and/or correspondences that have not yet been shared with the superintendent? >> All right. And with Dr. Zuckermanman, if you'd like to give your superintendent report, please. >> Absolutely. So, just for everybody, we
just have a a few business things to take care of and then we're going to get to our our recognition. So, we appreciate all your patience and in waiting for us. Uh to start my report, I'm going to turn it over to Mr. Dagley for the student representative report. >> Yeah. Hello. Uh good evening. Uh uh the
BBSA club has currently held their door decoratoring project in honor of Black History Month, showcasing uh influential black leaders. Uh in addition, the club has already made a strong progress with their food drive successfully collecting donating uh a growing number of non-p perishable items to support families in need. Um all clubs in the school have
successfully taken their yearbook photos this year as well. Uh these photos represent the wide range of student involvement, leadership and activities across the community. Uh MSA has recently hosted hijab trion day giving the students opportunities to learn about the experience and cultural religious significance. Uh in addition,
MSA has successfully organized a food drive collecting donations to support those in need as well. Uh the debate team had a strong showing last week earning several w uh impressive wins throughout the week uh and wellprepared arguments. Uh their success reveals the team's hard work, dedication, and effective collaboration. Uh the student
council has also recently held their meeting with around 25 students in attendance all showing strong enthusiasm and eagerness to participate. Uh the high turnout reflects the students uh engagement in for the upcoming elections for this year as well. And thank you.
>> Thank you very much. Um, first to start, I wanted to thank our custodians, our maintenance staff, and our mechanics for all of the hard work that they exhibited in clearing the snow and to make sure that our facilities were ready to open after the most recent storm. I often say
that no one employee in the district is more important than another and that we all play a vital role in educating our students. This is a perfect example of that. Without the efforts of our maintenance custodians and mechanics, our our students would not have been able to get to school with just one day
out for the recent snowstorm. So, it's a huge thank you. I know the students would have rather another day, but but their efforts, as I know from shoveling my own driveway, it was hard enough, let alone obviously the size of our property. So, certainly a huge thank you to them. Last week, we launched an
interest uh we launched an interest form asking for volunteers to participate in our Northern Burlington 2030 project. The selected participants will help develop our goals for our next strategic plan. It is anticipated that committee will be approximately 20 people and will
meet four to six times between the end of February and the end of April. The administrative team will then work to develop the action plans for the next three years which will be presented to the board realistically at our June meeting. If you're interested in participating, please let me know. You
can complete the link that's uh that's on our district website or just send me an email for the board, the participants for the the students, the parents, and the teachers. Please fill out the fill out the form or you're also welcome to email me as well. On this evening's agenda, you will see
uh an agenda item for Chromebooks for the 202627 school year. This request is is part of our regular replacement plan. We are requesting this a little bit earlier earlier than we normally do to make sure that we can get the Chromebooks and and
distribute them to the students in time for the 202627 school year. Mr. Lee and Mr. Figs at at the recent text expo received information that the prices and the demand will be increasing in the next few months. So, we're looking to get ahead of the projected challenges.
on the 202526 school calendar is also on this evening's board agenda for you to for your review. The calendar has the following adjustments. February 13th, this coming Friday, is now a full day of school for students and staff. This is
to make up for the school being closed from the recent snowstorm on June 26th. Since February 13th is a prof since the February 13th professional development day has been postponed, I am also requesting an early dismissal day for
the for the district on March 6th. This will allow us to cover some of the time-sensitive topics that were scheduled for professional development with staff on that were previously scheduled for February 13th. Any questions from the board?
That concludes my report. Thank you, Dr. Zuckerman. Um, I'll give a minor f followup to the the Chromebooks. Um, at Texo, there was a lot of talk that even in the first month of the year, the Chromebooks were going up on average at $10 a Chromebook. Um, and that the that Intel had announced
they could not provide the number of processors that were being requested because all the processors were going towards AI farms. Um, and that the existing stockpile of Chromebooks was depleting quickly. So, uh, we kind of thought in best interest of the district
was, um, getting that order in to save funds, but also on the fact that, uh, some Chromebook deliveries were having 18 to 22 week lead times. So, even getting the order in now, um, helps us to secure them for the next school year with next school year being our large
Chromebook purchase. So, uh, it seemed in our best interest to get it on this agenda, um, as quickly as possible. Uh, can I just ask a real quick question? And, uh, I agree with what you're doing. Uh, my only question is, are we losing out some capabilities with
getting the Chromebooks now, or does it really matter because everything's in the cloud anyway? All the software they're going to be using. So, it doesn't really matter that it's got any more or less functionality. I'm not saying that that they're not going to have a slightly faster processor or a
slightly faster something, but I mean the the the Chromebooks that we're purchasing are certainly more than capable for our current needs that we have. >> And we were scheduled to purchase them next month. They would would have been on the March agenda with the the budgetary uh meeting and presentation.
Um we basically knowing it was going to the budget anyway, moved it up the month to if even if it's $10 a week, we look at saving ourselves 50 bucks a Chromebook for one month. it was well worth the the just moving it from March's order to February's order just to secure the price now versus
potentially waiting and having it go up. So, it's the same Chromebooks we would have ordered in in a month's time or so. >> Mike, I have a question for you. Are these the Chromebooks going mostly to our incoming seventh graders? >> I know it's the eight 800 Chromebook order. It's
>> so the um every the Chromebooks typically last four years. So every ninth grade when the students enter in ninth grade then they get new Chromebooks. Mr. Lee, you can correct me if I'm wrong in this. I think I'm I'm right in that. And then it's also a replacement of a year in the middle school because then they they they
recirculate once in the middle school. >> Okay. >> Any other questions regarding the superintendent's report? All right. U Mrs. Williams, if you could please give the business administrator's report. Sure. I'd just like to echo the thoughts of
the superintendent and thanking the um maintenance and facilities staff on managing the weather that we have had. Um today Jason Vickers, our new director of facilities started. Um he jumped right in um addressing some HBAC challenges that we're having. Um so we
appreciate it and we're h I'm glad to have him here. Just a reminder to the board that um financial disclosure statements are due April 30th. So, you'll receive an email from Miss Markley um getting you started for filing those forms. If you have any questions, just please let us know. Um
and just a note about um budget planning for 2627. Um with the new governor coming on board, there was an extension approved for the budget timelines um well for the governor to give her budget address which could push things out till March 10th. As of right now, um the
district's timelines have not changed. So, we may be asking for some flexibility in March to have a special meeting to go over the budget. Um because of our um board meeting in March is March 9th. Um with the superintendent and the board president traveling for Nath meetings, um we may need to adjust
probably keep the March 9th meeting and have a special meeting to go over budget. And lastly about the auditorium construction. Um obviously we've had some weather difficulties which makes it difficult for um the masons to work but con construction continues. Um major
steel structural work has been completed. Roof decking has been installed. Um masonry and electrical work is being done. Inspections have all been in place. So the project remains um um on time and is progressing well.
>> Quick question. >> Yes sir. Are you suggesting a full board meeting or just a building and grounds finance meeting? >> We'll have to do the full meeting because we have to have the budget to the county by uh March 19. So, we have to have a special meeting. Yes.
>> Okay. >> So, from a date perspective, it's realistic that the governor is going to uh share the um state aid on uh March 10th or 11th, which would have been after our board meeting on the 9th anyway. the following Monday, the 16th, we're scheduled to be in DC. So, we're
looking and it has to be approved by the by the 19th of March. So, they're giving us a whole lot of time to be able to kind of like like make this happen. So, we're we're looking to have a special meeting that we'll probably pull the board just on on some dates and just to make sure that the majority of the board
uh will be able to be there. >> Uh, any other questions for Mrs. Williams? All right. Uh, Dr. Karns, if you'd like to give your middle school principal's report, please. Thank you, Mr. Figs. Members of the board, it's my pleasure to uh provide an update on middle school activities. Just
a quick note, I'm really nervous tonight. My mom is in the audience, and if I I mess up, she can be pretty harsh. So, do the best I can. Uh, first, I just want to give a shout out to our first Lego League uh team in the um in the middle school. If you can see from my report, we have a couple teams. One of
our teams qualified to go to the the state uh finals at Rowan University. Um they won a an award in robot design um at the recent competition at Salem Community College. And also shout out to one of our coaches, Dr. Andrula. She was recognized as an outstanding coach and
mentor. So kudos to our uh first Lego League team and best wishes to them as they go into the the state finals. South Jersey All Region Chorus. We had two of our students who were selected as middle school students, Lauren Deo and Tade Wisnarski. So, congratulations to both of them and to Miss Allen, their
teacher. As Mr. Dagley talked about door decorating in in the high school for Black History Month, the middle school is also um you know just just finished up on that and it's really fascinating watching 12 and 13-year-old kids try to negotiate how to get that piece of construction paper up over top of the uh
the door and just the teamwork that they have to show. and it's it's it's fun to see them and and what they develop and and create. So, we're looking forward to their displays being up for the month of February. It is just the beginning of February, but we're already starting to talk about our course selection for next year. We anticipate very soon that the
the high school counselors will be over meeting with our our students that are going on to the to the high school. And obviously, we'll be meeting with our eighth graders and getting them ready for next year. And and very soon our our incoming seventh graders, the class of of 2032. Our middle school musical um is coming going to hit the stage March 20
and 21st. It's a uh show that perhaps you've heard of called Singing in the Rain. And we're looking forward to our our middle school thespians bringing that to life in our our school. Winter sports just completed a variety of success levels. Our our seventh grade girls um team did very well as did our eighth grade uh boys basketball team.
So, congratulations to them and to all of our students who were out for winter uh winter sports. And right now in the middle school, we're in the midst of our blue gray competition. Um, you know, it's modeled on the high school uh blueg gray competition. We divide our students up into a blue team and a gray team based on their the letter that their last name begins with. We have a variety
of of dress themes, different competitions during the the week. And then that concludes on on Friday. We have a uh session about 30 40 minutes at the end of the day on Friday where a uh you know variety of fun games and stuff like that to to wrap it up and get us through this uh the winter doldrums. And that concludes my report. Do you have
any questions for me? >> No questions. But if you need a letter of recommendation or support for to mom, please just let me know. >> I can't turn my back on her. All right. I appreciate that. Thank you very much. >> Thank you, Dr. Kurts. Dr. McCann, if you'd like to give your high school
principal's report, please. >> All right. Thanks for having me. Uh, a handful of things. So, just looking back, we moved our open house this year. So, we used to have open house in October. We tried it out in January this year um to see if we could have some additional conversations with parents and families about new courses that would be offered in addition to showcasing all the things that have been
happening around the school. We felt like it was very successful. We had a lot of folks come and hear about what the new courses were just kind of transitioning to high school for some of our eighth grade families moving up. Um and that seemed to be a really uh good experience. And so we're hopeful that we'll continue to move that to January in the future so that we can kind of
share the upcoming information as well as what's going on now. Um you heard from Dr. Karns that there has been some success in our arts program. So, we've had band students, choir students, and theater students all recognized for various accolades. Um, if you don't follow me on Instagram, that's the best way to find out the accolades. So,
shameless plug. Um, you heard from Yousef that we have door decorating going on. We've had some really great um doors and some have made entire, you know, doorways into beautifully decorated works of art. They all got judged today, so winners are forthcoming. Um, but they do get a a
breakfast catered by us. So, I'm sure they'll be excited for that. Um, blue verse gray is also coming up in the high school. Uh, this year we've really tried to build the excitement throughout the year. So, it's not just one event, but a culmination of ways that students can earn points. Um, so I am the lone gray team member in the main office.
Everybody else is on the blue team. Their last names are A through L. Mine is M through Z. Um, and so we are down right now 145 to 148, but progress is coming. Um, we do have opportunity period competition. So students have played tugof-war and various other games during opportunity period to build the excitement. There's also been class
competitions where they can do like do now questions and earn points for their team and then share those. Um so that's been really exciting. Uh scheduling has also started at the high school. So right now all of our counselors are meeting with our juniors to get all their course requests and get all of that in and then they'll work their way through the sophomore as a freshman and
then head over to the middle school and talk to all of our eighth graders so we can have a finalized idea of what courses to run by spring break time uh to be able to start building the schedule after that. And then finally in terms of sports, our swim team made it to the playoffs and had a great first
round victory. Um our bowling team was bowling this week. Both boys and girls made it to playoffs. So we're excited to see how that goes. and the rest of the rankings for our sports teams. Pretty much every team we're hoping is going to make playoffs, those don't happen until this weekend. So, we're on the lookout to see if we can maybe get a few home seeds. Um, but I think all of our teams
will be competing somewhere in the next few weeks. Anybody have any questions? >> Great. >> Thank you so much. >> All right. Uh, item 2.05 is consent agenda item for the approval of the HI
reports. 2.06 6 is consent agenda item for the approval of the superintendent reports. Um we have no new committee reports tonight. Um the curriculum committee met tonight but we will give a report with the minutes uh during the
March meeting. Um >> the finance buildings grounds and finance meeting will meet on uh committee will meet on virtually on the 18th and the policy committee on the 23rd. >> Yes, correct. um for delegate reports. Um Mr. Bucks is
not here to give any NJSBA report. Mr. Aente, do you have any updates from BCSBA? >> Yeah, we had a we had a virtual >> virtual meeting and um there's the normal setup with all the different groups, but the biggest thing they had was the district readiness presentation.
Um they also talked about partnership readiness. Um you really need to look at the presentation. I have it if anybody wants to see it, but um trying to go into details. That was like the whole meeting was that. So um pretty good pretty good work that they've done on their end. Um and the next meeting is
live. So >> right, >> thank you. >> Thank you. Um I don't have a legislative update this evening. I'm having a little challenge with getting on the email list now that I'm a reelected board member. So Mrs. Williams is working on that for me. Um at this time, uh are we doing the
uh governor's educator of the year first? >> Yes, we are. >> All right. if we can proceed to the presentation. >> Absolutely. So, as Dr. McCann is making her way up here, um we are thrilled. We have we have so many talented ed educators in in our district. Um we are very fortunate tonight to recognize the
the two staff members who are recognized at the high school as governor's educator of the year. We do also have two middle school representatives. Um unfortunately, they were not able to be here, so they will be recognized in another evening. Um and then we also have a support professional um of the
year, Miss Deb McMullen. Um this is a this is a recognition that the district started um just because again as we know everybody is equally as important um in our district. So we have a support staff member that we recognize every year as well and she will be recognized in in
the future as well. So Dr. McCann. >> All right. First up we have Mrs. Katherine Farley who is the teacher selected this year for governor's educator of the year. Uh so Mrs. Farley is an exceptional educator who brings out the spark of joy in every student she meets. Her classroom is a place where all students of every background
and ability feel valued, supported, and inspired to learn. Her lessons are engaging, thoughtful, and rooted in compassion. And she works closely with her team, students, and families to build a culture of respect and shared success. I will say one of the ways she engages students is she has this William Shakespeare head that she like might or might not carry around the classroom.
Um, so that's pretty cool. I think kids think it's cool. She also teaches freshmen, so like what's cool is varied. Um, beyond the classroom, Miss Farley uh does a ton of other leadership things for us. She's a class adviser. Um, so she works with our students all the way up through going on their senior trip and getting them all the way through uh
the process and has started with the new freshman class this year, which is really exciting for us. She helps with decorating for homecoming. She's been on the Disney trips as a chaperone. She also is part of our sunshine committee, so she's frequently baking cookies and bringing them in to bring spirit to the staff. Her dedication and her humility have earned her the admiration of our
entire school community. And she truly embodies the heart of the teaching profession, and we're proud to recognize her. Come on down. All right. And I do list. Do you want to talk? You don't have to. You could just run back to your share.
Okay, great. Okay, perfect. All right. And next we have Miss Casey FA, who's the educational services professional of the year. Mrs. Spouse is an extraordinary advocate for our students. Uh for those of you that don't know, she is one of our school counselors. And so she advocates for students. She helps them feel seen, supported, and valued. Her commit
commitment to student success, well-being, and equity is evident in everything she does. Not only does she did the academic planning portion, but she also does social emotional support for so many of our kiddos that really need it. Um one of her greatest strengths is her deep deep expertise both in college and post-secondary planning. She really helps students
navigate with clarity and confidence whether they have career interests, whether they're looking to go to post-secary education, whatever the pathway is for them. Uh she works to help them complete applications, understand financial aid and scholarships, um and make sure that they really feel supported in that process. Beyond her work with students, Miss FA
is a collaborative leader who supports staff, strengthens our system, and advocates for resources that help students thrive. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication make her have a lasting impact on our school community. Miss Fast Okay, great. >> So, Miss
Congratulations to both, but Miss FA and Miss Farley, if I can, you can keep them today. I can take them tomorrow, but we do actually have picture frames that we ordered. Unfortunately, they didn't come in yet, but we want to also put those in in nice frames for you to be be able to display. So, if I can kind of have the
certificates back and then give them back to you. A little sorry for the awkwardness, but I appreciate it. I promise I'll give them back. Thank you very much. Congratulations. So, uh we also as as you know from some of my my previous reports, uh we have
had uh quite deal a great deal of success with with a number of our sports teams as Dr. McCann was was just mentioning. Uh the girls soccer team certainly brought the the district and and the school much uh joy and and kind of celebration this past season. So, I'm going to bring our uh our athletic
director, Mr. Frank Crigliano, up to uh introduce the the soccer team. >> Thank you uh all for having us here tonight. Appreciate you taking some time out of the board meeting to recognize athlet athletics. It is uh extremely important to us. Um I was not here
obviously at the beginning of the year. So I was not on the entire journey with this team but I did get the better half of the journey obviously. Um but I will tell you a quick story about this group. Uh my first week being here um I had to deliver some bad news to this team. Um I
hadn't met any of them yet and here I go on this golf cart. But I go up to the soccer field to tell them that the team that they were supposed to play was not coming and their parents, some of them were on the sideline already. And I was like, I have not even introduced myself to these girls and I'm going to go up here and and tell them this news.
They're like, "Oh, are you the new AD?" And I'm like, "Yeah." I'm like, "Girls, you're the team's not coming. I'm so sorry." They're like, "Yeah, no worries. We'll just figure it out." Right? That so that was the the mentality of this group. Um, luckily the turf had been finished so I kind of coached them to go practice on the turf for our, you know,
the the problem. But, um, sportsmanship, the way they they they played, you know, the pride they had, the camaraderie they had. Um, obviously they they brought a title home, but I think that was that was more important, right? So, we always want to um respect our opponent, and I
think this was this group was did, you know, no one better than this. So, I'll bring up coach Yznar and she can talk a little about the team. Thank you. That's a little tall for me. Um, first I just want to say thank you so much for uh having us here tonight. We're so grateful to be here. Um,
secondly, I just want to say how proud I am to coach and know these girls and this team. Uh, they really have had such a great year. We knew quite early on that it was going to be a special year. So, we were very very excited for the
season. Uh before our sectional championship, I actually took him into the West gym and we kind of had a moment to reflect on the past of the soccer program, the girls soccer program here at Northern Burlington. And we kind of
realized and recognized that journey to get here. and we knew that we had the opportunity in front of us to do something not only for themselves but for the Northern Burlington community as well, something that had never been done
before in girls soccer. And so they had a great season uh and they were the invited to the coaches cup. That was the first time in school history that they were invited to that. Uh they had the winningest season in girls soccer history with a 165-2 record. uh they
were the number one seed going into playoffs which again had never been done and then ultimately that culmination was winning the Central Jersey Group Three Sectional Championship and that again was something that had never been done in history. So, they have made their
mark in Northern Burlington history and I couldn't be more proud of them. And so, I again just want to thank you guys so much for being and having us here and um just want to, you know, say how proud I am of all their accomplishments for the season. Uh just briefly, I'm going
to call up our captains for this year. Uh, first captain is senior Charlotte Kora, and then senior captain Leazola, senior captain Emily Sarno, and then we do have a fourth captain who's a junior, Giana Hamp. She
unfortunately, well, I don't know if it's unfortunate, but she couldn't be here tonight because she's currently playing for team USA in Spain and playing in the Mima Cup. So, that's awesome that she's there. Very good reason to miss. Um, as a program, we just had a few
words to say to the board of ed. Uh, we just want to thank you for your continued support throughout the season. Obviously, we were very successful and I don't think we could have done that without like the school behind us. So, we just want to thank you guys and the entire administration. >> So, at times we first of all, we're we're very proud of you as well. At
times we do kind of break for a picture. I know that you just took a lot of pictures down in the gym. So, if I can ask you to share one of those with us and then we can kind of post that on social media obviously just as part of the recognition, we're we're happy to do so. >> Thank you.
Thank you for coming tonight. Uh, you know, being on the board, it's always a great highlight both to girls soccer team, the educator of the year. We we appreciate all of all of the constituents of our district. So, um, these moments are are special for us as a board. So, thank you all for coming

All right. Um with that, are there any other questions or comments for section 9? All right. Um I guess so. The reason I asked that is that it's in your superintendent report that way. So >> or yes, you have you have Andrew Kinsler
as the as the uh officer, not Jason Vickers. >> So your super report has uh Andrew Kinsler being a taking the place from Will McKe. So when we approve your superintendence reports, is that what we're approving as item 2.06 or is that
what gets approved next month? Just so we don't approve the wrong thing in your superintendent report. I signed out after I signed out after 12 hours. I got to sign that in again. So just >> just to review that I or actually I can look at my superintendent's report in the agenda. I
>> think it may be in the VA. >> Yeah, it's in personnel. So you have appointment of integrated pest management officer. Drew Kinsler will replace Will McKe who was in the role till his last day, but we're saying that should be Jason Vickers. >> Correct. >> Yeah. Drew got appointed in January at
reorg and so to be appointed now. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Okay. So >> understood the agenda supersede. >> Yes. Yes. Okay. >> Right. >> But when we do your official superh for >> future publication, it should be revised to state the correct name

>> All right. I don't believe we have any public comment at this point, but we will confirm. All right. Thank you, Mr. Lee. >> Sure. and it was very crowded earlier so you never know. Um so for future dates um we
have as Dr. Suckerman mentioned earlier we have buildings grounds finance transportation meeting virtually on the 18th. Um we have the policy meeting virtually on the 23rd. Um the policies have gone out. So those who are on the committee please take a chance to review
them. Uh and really the full board um have a look at them. Please you know any comments as I mentioned please forward them to myself, Dr. Zuckermanman or Mrs. Williams. Um we have a personnel meetings committee meeting scheduled prior to the regular board meeting on March 9th. Um the regular meeting March
9th and as we mentioned a tenative uh special meeting for the budgetary purposes um sometime a after the 10th but prior to the 19th. So um as Dr. Zuckerman mentioned he'll reach out with some some date options to try to get the
the best attendance of the board. Um, is there any uh old business um that anyone would like a requested update from Dr. Suckerman or Mrs. Williams or any new business to refer to committee or or Mrs. Ms. Williams and Dr. Suckerman?
Um Kevin, I did put the moment of silence on the policy committee agenda to discuss um because it is in policy 164, so we can't just remove it. So, um it is on there for discussion. So, I know it's still on the agenda, just so you know. It's not like we forgot about it or just skipped your comments.
>> And it's I want to be clear. It's not that I'm completely opposed to it. I just want to know why we're doing it. >> Yeah. Some reason to be added if it's going to continue. >> And if you just even want I was, you know, talking to Susan earlier, you know, if you just want to say for whatever you want to keep in mind, you
know, I I just think there should be a reason behind it. >> Yep. Some purpose. No, totally understand. Um, all right. If there we have no executive session tonight, right, Dr. >> I have one other question. So, thinking about what you and Jamie talked about with the Chromebooks, are there any other opportunities for us to
pre-purchase any technology to avoid future expenses given the outrageous nature that it's been and and is continuing to be. Maybe that's something to think about. >> Um, Mr. Lee has also discussed that
there are some um laptops for admin staff that are now due for rotation. Um the Chromebooks were worried about them not being available, so we wanted to make sure we ordered those. If these came in a couple weeks late, not such a big deal, but the Chromebooks were the right um priority. Mr. Lee, you are
here. Do you have any concerns about any other technology at this time? Okay, cool. I just think it's some if if something comes up, bring it up to us because it's a big savings if you do it now as opposed to waiting. So, >> I I get it.
Mr. Lee had some uh impressed colleagues uh at Texo that I was discussing it with him that we are a proactive board. So I know Mr. Lee appreciates it and I think it's for the best of the district. Like I said it saves us money and make sure the Chromebooks are here for the students one time. It's well worth it.
So >> all right. Um mentioned we have no executive session this evening. >> I have a question real quick. >> Yes. Would it be possible for the excuse me finance committee meeting to get a list together of all capital wishes for
the next three to five years? Uh we used to have that u but like you know the Chromebooks or Mr. Lee needs more technology new switches or something that we have an idea of what's coming up down the road. >> Absolutely. We can put that together
from a not only from a technology but also just as we've been talking about the updating the long-range facility plan as well. Yep. >> Yeah. Did did M uh thank you Mr. McKen giving you guys any perspective there? I know it was discussed a little bit about on his way out him providing some
perspective. >> Yes, he worked with the architect to kind of give me an updated idea of you know the condition of the buildings, replacement schedules and things like that. So he was able to share that information. >> Which architect? the one who did all the work previously, I guess, for dates and stuff is what I would uh correct.
>> Not that they're doing the work. They're just as far as just the as far as timing on when rooftop units were. >> They have the they have the knowledge of what's happened in the building in the past. >> All right. Um there's nothing nothing else. I'll call for a motion for
adjournment. >> Motion second. Second. All those in favor? >> I I All opposed. Abstensions. Right. Have a great night, everyone.
