them
to
come
up
at
this
time.
The
board

from
the

We

the

home
school

specific
employee
or
student
by
name.
A
Virgo
excuse
me
vulgar
or
profane
language
will
not
be
tolerated.
The

A
final
chime

minutes
later,
signifying
the
end
of
the
speaker's
time
at
the
podium.
D
I'll
remember
to
say
home
school
district,
this
time,
devin,
stacchinski,
hmr,
well,
a
lot's
happened
in
the
last
two
weeks
since
the
last
board
meeting
and
jim.
You
know
I
absolutely
agree
with
you.
I
think
this
is
our
first
time
and
you
reminded
me
of
something
along
the
campaign
trail
when
you
said
there
is
no
such
thing
as
a
free
lunch.
D
I
expect
to
see
everybody
who
said
they
would
do
it
on
the
campaign
trail
to
pull
out
all
the
stops.
Also.
I
would
hope
that
all
of
you
who,
in
the
paper
said
that
you
wanted
to
see
campaign
finance
reform
for
school
board
elections
will
sign
on
to
my
legislation
doing
such
and
requiring
financial
reporting
that
legislation
is
being
drafted
currently
I'll.
Let
you
know
when
it
is
done,
something
else
that
also
came
out
and
hasn't
really
been
talked
to,
and
I'm
sure
the
forum
won't
cover
it.
D
E
Thank
you
first,
I
want
to
say
congratulations
to
our
new
elected
school
board
members.
My
name
is
victoria
johnson.
I
often
come
here
and
give
you
a
hard
time,
but
today
I
want
to
talk
about
something,
that's
very
important.
As
a
parent,
not
as
an
advocate
at
the
last
city
commission
meeting
on
june
27th,
a
speaker
brought
up
a
concern
of
issue
that
happened
at
falcon
north
as
a
parent.
E
E
There's
two
places
children
should
feel
safe
in
and
that's
in
their
home
and
in
school,
and
the
only
person
that
they
can
go
to
in
school.
If
it
happens
to
be
the
resource
officer
and
that
resource
officer
happened
to
be
the
person
who's
having
that
inappropriate,
behavior
with
them
or
with
that
student,
who
else
can
they
turn
to?
E
E
It
was
very
detail
of
some
of
the
things,
including
disco
ball,
light
that
was
in
resource
officers.
Office
lights
off
teachers
see
this
people
know
this
was
happening
in
my
opinion.
This
should
never
had
happen.
Something
should
have
happened
way
before
we
seen
this
continue
over
and
over
south
high.
Not
only
one
we
saw
twice.
E
E
When
my
kids
showed
me
the
video
of
what
this
coach
was
sending,
I
could
not
believe
it,
and
then
we
had
carbon
eileson
and
now
north
will
there
be
something
different
on
the
mou
when
you
move
forward,
because
you
consider
the
school
resource
officer
in
one
of
your
policy
ap,
I
believe
it's
360.
I
could
be
wrong,
they're
part
of
administration.
E
A
Let's
see
here,
we've
heard
from
recognition
of
the
audience.
I
did
want
to
mention
that
before
we
move
forward,
there's
there
are
several
special
visitors
in
our
office
are
in
our
meeting
tonight.
Some
have
traveled
from
across
the
country
places
as
far
away
as
new
york
and
nashville
and
closer
in
the
area
and
family
members
of
other
newly
elected
board
members.
So
we
are
so
thankful
that
you
are
here
to
support
just
to
support
our
new
board
members.
A
So
with
that,
I
will
now
turn
this
meeting
over
to
dr
gross,
who
will
preside
over
the
meeting
of
for
the
reorganization
of
the
fargo
board
of
education
for
this
upcoming
school
year.
Dr
gross.
F
G
Was
I'll
just
make
it
short
and
just
report
the
findings
which
are
basically
our
ballots
for
the
evening
for
president
and
for
vice
president
of
the
board
for
this
year
after
canvassing,
the
four
board
members
that
were
eligible
for
office
or
five
members,
sorry
jim
robin
tracy,
myself
and
nikki?
I
found
that
robin
nelson
and
tracy
newman
were
willing
to
put
their
names
forward
for
president
and
nikki
gullickson
and
myself
were
willing
to
put
our
names
forward
for
vice
president.
F
Thank
you,
which
then
moves
us
down
to
the
next
item
on
the
agenda,
which
is
the
election
of
officers
and
we'll
begin
with
the
election
of
the
president.
In
the
canvassing
report,
which
is
on
memo
7.
It
does
indicate
that
two
members
of
the
board
are
willing
to
serve
in
the
position
of
president
robin
nelson
and
tracy
newman
before
we
vote.
I
would
like
to
at
this
time
open
up
to
the
floor.
If
there
are
any
additional
nominations
for
the
role
of
president.
F
F
And
then,
with
that,
I
would
turn
the
rest
of
the
meeting
over
to
our
president.

ventilations
in
