our public comment. The board of education recognizes the value of public comment on educational issues and the importance of allowing members to the public to express themselves on school matters of the community interest. Complete copies
of policy 0167 which govern this portion of the meeting are available to the public at the auditorium entrance online or by contacting the board office. To permit the fair and orderly expression of comments, we ask that participants be

remaining. All statements shall be directed to the residing officer. No participant may address or question board members. No discussion between the participant and respondent shall extend a threeminut time limit. It is our plan to listen to each member of the public.
Once all questions and comments from all members of the public are made, the board of education may respond or respond via email in the most timely and efficient manner available. All questions and comments will be noted. Mr. Palowski, do we have anybody pre-registered? We have no
pre-registrations. Do we have anybody in the audience that would like to speak? Not at this time. We're really nice. Okay. Well, with no comments, uh
we will close this portion of uh of the meeting. We will move on now to our consent agenda review. Mr. Palowski. Uh ladies and gentlemen, the only thing we have on our consent agenda review is a reaffirmation of our uh final budget
adoption with all other resolutions readopted. The rationale for this is a decrease in the tax levy incentive aid that will have a decrease uh will decrease the impact on the average assessed home uh by about $8 a year. So
it goes from 325 to uh 318. Um, other than that, everything pretty much stays the same. Uh, like I said in our update, I'm going to look to ensure that the south roofing project um has a contingency left over, some funds left
over from kind of like the emergency uh account to uh replenish the deduction that the um Department of Education imposed on us uh just last just two days ago. So, that's where we're at. Okay. That's our only motion. Any questions
