In this election. So, the answer is yes and regarding demographics and when people register to vote, dem demographic information is optional. But when it comes to knowing where the high turnout parts of the city are, we know that each election because we provide by default, extra support for those locations every year, every election cycle. And so, we still expect people to go to polling places and we still expect them to want to capacity a ballot, but i think covid is going to also reduce the number of people that go to polling places. And i think the ballot lanking g in peoples mailboxes are reducing the people in polling places. But having i voted sicker on the insert will reduce the number of people going to polling places. Thats one of the largest statements is that they want their i voted sticker. Thats why they go and drop off ballots. Now they can get the sticker and mail it back to us. I know a lot of voters, my family included, tend to drop off or ballot on election day and t
Between the union and the school board and the School District, it feels like from those those other entities, and i want to say that the purpose of this meeting was to figure out how the city can best support families and the School District and educators. Because i agree with the comments of Susan Sullivan that the caste that the educators have in front of them is so monumental. And it is difficult to roll out distance teaching and learning, which is what you are doing, and also at the same time to simultaneously provide for the needs of families to do what needs to be done in households to make that education work and meaningful. So what i see the role of the city is and i want to take my at off to maria sue and her staff and the mayor who stepped up and are trying to play a useful role in in the in one area of where families need help. And it is the area that is most complicated because how to provide safe child care so that theres an adult, you know, helping the teachers to teach
