The only action item was a new School Petition to renew the charter for the second reading and it was sent by a committee to the full board with no recommendation. Thank you. Do you have updates for budget . I also wanted to say that the new school was presented, we put it forward with no recommendation and also wanted to let the public know that, at that meeting, the Budget Office shared a lot of helpful information about the timeline for the year, and i encourage folks, budgets are important, and i encourage folks to come out to budget meetings.

I think this is a great opportunity to be part of the community and be part of programs like this. I get to run around with my other teammates and pass the ball. This is new to me. Ive always played basket
