your schedules. With regard to uh public comments on agenda items only, I want to remind the public that the Riverdale Board of Education is committed to encouraging the citizens of Riverville and employees of the Riverdale School District to speak directly to board trustees. In
order to facilitate this communication, residents and employees are requested one to sign in before speaking, two to maintain an appropriate sense of decorum, and three to limit their remarks to no more than five minutes. The board will also take under advisement the written comments and opinions of non-residents that are
submitted to the board secretary being mindful of its responsibility to mean the orderly conduct of meetings. The board retains the right to rule in such matters as the speaker's right to address the board as well as the appropriateness of the subject being presented. The board's decision in such matters is final. The board also reminds
all members of the public while that while it subscribes without reservation to the principle of keeping the community informed by policy and law, it cannot allow public discussion of personnel matters, nor can trustees comment on any current or pending litigation. If a matter concerning an employee of the Riverville public
schools is of interest or concern to a resident, the matter should be referred to the responsible building principal or the superintendent of the schools by telephone, letter, or email. Um, I'm going to just remind the public, too, because I'm not going to read this again later on in the meeting, that this, uh,
same rules apply for non-aggenda items when we get to that later in the meeting. Um, I'm going to open this meeting to public comments on agenda items only at approximately 7:08 p.m., is there anyone who wants to make a comment on agenda items?
Okay, I'm going to close it um at approximately 7:09 p.m. Just changed. Um and um move on to Mrs. Samuri's report, superintendent's report. >> All right. Thank you. Good evening, everybody. I also do just want to um
