I want to take this time and thank you guys for having us apologize. My voice is going out a little bit, but we I'm proud to grow up in the area in the Maryville area and it's kind of come full circle for me to stand here today and accept this award. So thank you guys for doing that.

E

A little bit about what we like to do is uh since 2012 we've given back to the West Valley, specifically two million dollars this last year alone, we gave out six hundred thousand dollars to West Valley Charities and we hope to grow that to a million dollars per year. It's part of our Five-Year Plan, we're two years into that, and both of these guys I thought it was appropriate to bring him along with me.

E

They actually lead Shop with a cop and it again it all connected for us when we talked about the West, Valley Maryvale area and what we do today so I'll, let them take it away and give a few words. Thank you, foreign.

F

I think I think Robert pretty much said everything um coming in here, I've seen a lot of familiar faces, a lot of the schools, I I'm, a community action officer that works out of the Mary Bell Estrella Precinct anyways, so I have a lot of relationships with some of the folks back here.

F

um But it's great um coming back here like like, he was saying, started school at Harris. My family grew up in the area, so it was good coming back. uh Well, I've never left, but um you know even playing Cartwright little league in the late 70s. You know it's always been a good place. It's always been home. So we appreciate this and the Mavericks. We love what we're able to do for the district and the kids.

G

Same thing, uh my my parents were raised in the Cartwright School District uh I was born and raised myself in this area in Maryville. It is an honor to give back and that you guys continue to. Let us uh you know be part of the the group, and uh you know like not only shop at the cop, that you allowed us to come back and do uh present turkeys.

I

Good evening president Hernandez superintendent Aguilar Lawler governing board executive team members, members in our audience and those watching on YouTube um we've. We are submitting a revision to the 2324 school calendar to add some early release days on two days for parent-teacher conference dates on Thursdays. The early release times would be 11 45 AM for early start schools and 12 30 PM for late start schools.

I

This came up during a teacher, Advisory Group meeting, and it was brought up as a concern that it would be difficult to accomplish all of the Parent-Teacher conferences with the elimination of our Friday mornings. So therefore, they made a recommendation that we needed to add a half to Young, to Thursdays one in October and one in March to accommodate all of our parents and provide our Educators additional conference time in order to ensure all conferences are completed. We took this recommendation to our parent advisory group and our Advisory Group was agreeable to the recommendation.

I

Therefore, we're bringing this action item forward for approval to a revision to the 2324 calendar and our principles also agreed. That is correct.

I

um Are there any questions.
