Our children. When you see our kids, and i truly believe they are the children of our country. I will not let parents come into schools and actually make their own decision. I dont think parents should be telling schools what they should teach. No place is this fight more evident than in virginia where parents have found the vessel to fight for their rights. Governor glenn youngkin. In july youngkins Department Of Education released new School Guidelines to keep parents in charge of their kids. Under these new rules, School Personnel will have to call children by the pronouns listed in their official school record. Not whatever they feel like identifying as that day. Kids will also have to use the bathroom that corresponds with their sex, not their chosen gender. No, these seem like common sense guidelines to keep our children safe. But the states Largest School district doesnt think so. Fairfax county, virginia is defying youngkins orders and parents are petrified of what that means f

William. Reporter trace, were in the harbor about ten miles south of la hind a and this is also where the Police Roadblock is and the check point. People cant get into lahina because theyre still looking for bodies but if you want to go you have to go by boat but thats supposed to be illegal. We heard some incredible stories today from people who were in the water for eight hours or more, waited to be picked up and had jumped to avoid the flames in lahina per se.

Seeing none. A point of clarification. Secretary silva, there seems to be some confusion about from the public about what was actually approved for item 10. 4, can you confirm that the item as approved by the board at our last meeting does not add an additional annual allotment of 200,000 per year, but instead caps the annual disbursement of funds to 300,000 annually for a possible five year term of the agreement. That is correct, the amount you approved was, not to exceed amount of approximately 1. 5 1. 5 million over a three year initial term, with two options of one year each. So that would be five years potentially total. And then in the calculation of charges in the contract, costs are not to exceed 300,000 per year. Okay. Thank you for that clarification. Then, well now open item for Public Comment. Is there anyone that would like to comment on item four. And this is the approval of minutes seeing none. Do we have anybody on the phone okay. Well now close Public Comment, colleagu
