Clerk thank you, very much. All right. We have quorum. Thank you. Greetings and welcome for joining todays board of education meeting. Knowing that we all know this, i would like to say these are stressful and strange times, times we never thought would be visited upon us. I thought it was strange enough trying to wait out and resist the person currently occupying the white house.

This is the time for us to pull together collectively to row lie upon one another to make this year as good and meaningful as it can be for our childrens sake. And to continue to find, within ourselves, a sense of grace and compassion and flexibility as we move for
