NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS WE DO SETTING THE JANUARY 31ST, 2025 WORK SESSION MINUTES OR AGENDA RATHER.
PLEASE SHOW THE, UH, DRAFT AGENDA.
SO THE TOP PART LOOKS ALL BOILERPLATES ALL THE SAME.
SO WE START LOOKING AT, STARTING AT AN 8:00 AM START BECAUSE WE GOT AN AWFUL LOT TO COVER.
ANY OBJECTION TO THAT? ARE WE GONNA HAVE BREAKFAST? YES.
AND YOU SEE WE START OUT WITH THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WE HAVE AN EMPLOYMENT MATTER, THE PERSONAL RATIFICATION REPORT, THE ADULT EDUCATION REPORT, A DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED SELECTION OF AN ARCHITECT FOR PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES AT BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL, A DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED SELECTION OF AN ARCHITECT FOR PROFESSIONAL DESIGN AT RIVERVIEW CHARTER SCHOOL GYM EDITION, AND DISCUSSION OF NEGOTIATIONS, INCIDENTS WHO PROPOSED LOBBYIST CONTRACT RENEWAL WITH BUR FULMAN LAW ENFORCEMENT OR NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT LAW FIRM.
UH, IS ANYTHING ELSE THAT WE NEED TO COVER ON THAT? UH, DR. RODRIGUEZ? NO, SIR.
I THINK THAT, UH, UH, WE, WE, WE MOVED THOSE OVER FROM THE, UH, BOARD SESSION AND THAT, UH, FROM THE BOARD MEETING AND THIS, WE CAN GET IT COVERED HERE IN, IN, UH, WORK SESSION.
ANYTHING FROM INGRID OR CARLTON ABOUT THE EXECUTIVE SESSION? NO, SIR.
I PUT A TIME AT NINE O'CLOCK SAYING THAT EXECUTIVE SESSION WILL LAST AN HOUR SO THAT WE CAN START PUBLIC, THE PUBLIC SESSION AT NINE IN CASE WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS SO THAT THEY CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE MEETING STARTS.
IS, IS THAT OKAY, CARLTON INGRID? IS THAT OKAY? THAT'S FINE.
THE ONLY THING IS WE CAN DO EXECUTIVE SESSION AFTER THE STARTING 8:00 AM AND TRYING TO GET IT DONE BY NINE.
I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, BUT IT, IT, YOU KNOW, FOR THOSE OF US COMING FROM SOUTH ABROAD WITH THE TRAFFIC AND EVERYTHING, THAT'S A PRETTY EARLY TRYING TO GET THERE PRETTY EARLY.
I JUST THROW THAT OUT THERE AS SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS WE GO, YOU KNOW, GO THROUGH THIS AGENDA, RIGHT? YEP.
UH, WE'LL HAVE TO PLAY, WE'LL PLAY THAT BY EAR, OR YOU CAN MOVE EXECUTIVE SESSION TO THE END OF THE MEETING SO YOU CAN START.
UM, YOU CAN START THE MEETING WITH PUBLIC SESSION AND THEN DO EXECUTIVE SESSION AT THE END OF THE MEETING.
A LOT OF BOARDS DO IT THAT WAY.
I ACTUALLY WOULD LIKE TO TRY THIS WAY FIRST.
UM, SINCE IT IS UNIQUE THAT WE'D BE STARTING THAT EARLY, MAYBE IT WOULDN'T BE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE.
I LIKE HAVING THE EXECUTIVE SESSION TO BEGIN WITH.
LET'S, LET'S GIVE IT A TRY AND, UH, WE'LL ADJUST AS NECESSARY.
NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF AGENDA, THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PUBLIC COMMENTS, AND THEN THE RIVERVIEW CHARTER SCHOOL ANNUAL REPORT.
ANY, ANY ISSUES THERE, CARLTON OR INGRID? NONE HERE, SIR.
THEN WE'RE GONNA HAVE A COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE.
DR. RODRIGUEZ, CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THAT? NO, YOU HAVE THE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN.
IS THAT THE, IS THAT THE NORMAL ANNUAL ONE THAT COMES OUT? I THINK THAT'S WHEN YOU'LL GET YOUR NEW BOOKS.
THAT'S, WE DID THAT LAST YEAR.
HEALTH, WELL, SILLY'S, MASTER PLAN, THINK COMMUNICATION.
BREAK AND COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE.
[00:10:01]
DR. RODRIGUEZ.UM, IT'S A CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.
IT'S NOT COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE.
IT THREW ME FOR A LOOP THERE, BUT I, I, I, I RAN AND CHECKED MY, MY NOTES QUICKLY.
THEN A HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THAT'LL TAKE? UH, DR. RODRIGUEZ.
UH, I, I I THINK IT'LL PROBABLY BE ABOUT A, A 25 MINUTES AND THEN, UH, WHATEVER DISCUSSION TIME THE BOARD HAS.
SO IS THAT A PRESENTATION FROM THEM OR ABOUT THEM? IT'S NOT A PRESENTATION FROM THEM? NO, IT'S, IT'S, UH, IT'S FROM DR.
STRATOS, UH, AND HER TEAM, UH, TALKING ABOUT THE HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL.
THERE'S, THERE'S, I THINK, PERTINENT AND RELEVANT INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD AND THEN, UH, CONVERSATION FROM THE BOARD.
ANY OTHER, SO I, I HAVE A QUESTION REAL QUICK, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE A TRAINING ON THEIR GOVERNANCE.
SO THE TRAINING IS CANCELED, AND NOW THIS IS PRETTY MUCH GOING TO BE A BOARD MEETING.
WE HAVEN'T SCHED WE HADN'T SCHEDULED A TRAINING YET.
THAT WAS WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE RETREAT, THAT HAS NOT BEEN SCHEDULED YET.
AND WE HAVE ROBIN, UM, I'M GONNA SPEAK OUT OF MEMORY HERE, BUT WE HAVE SEVERAL BOARD WORK SESSIONS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
ONE IN JANUARY, ONE IN FEBRUARY RELATED TO THE BUDGET.
UM, I KNOW WE HAVE ONE IN OCTOBER, BUT THAT'S SORT OF, WE HAVE A STANDARD NUMBER OF BOARD, UM, WORK SESSIONS THAT ARE BASICALLY DEEPER DIVE BOARD MEETINGS.
BECAUSE WE'LL HAVE SOME, WE'LL HAVE ONE IN MARCH, WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER IN AUGUST.
WE'LL HAVE, AGAIN, SO IN OCTOBER.
PRETTY MUCH ALMOST QUARTERLY, EXCEPT FOR THE BUDGET.
I THINK, LEAH, WHAT YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT, WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT, UM, WAS THE COHERENT GOVERNANCE WORK SESSION, THE COHERENT GOVERNANCE.
BUT THAT IS BEING PLANNED WITH A RE WITH THE, THE BOARD RETREAT, NOT WITH THE WORK SESSION.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NONE HERE.
THE BUDGET UPDATE, THAT'S THE NORMAL BUDGET UPDATE WE GET, UH, FROM TANYA.
THAT'S, UH, BE, SO BEFORE THAT, UH, UH, RIGHT AFTER LUNCH IS JUST AN A AR ON THE BOOK REVIEW.
UM, BOOK REVIEWS AND, AND IT, IT, IT'S AN ADJUSTMENT THAT HAS TO BE MADE ON THERE.
AND SO WE'RE, WE'LL NOTIFY THE BOARD THROUGH THAT PRESENTATION.
THEN IT'S THE BUDGET UPDATE WHERE IT'S GONNA BE THE START.
I MEAN, WE'RE, WE'RE BASICALLY TRYING TO KICK OFF HERE THE, THE BUDGET CONVERSATION.
AND SHE'S GONNA, SHE'S GOT A VERY BRIEF, UH, BUDGET PRESENTATION FOR THE BOARD.
UH, UH, BUT THEN WE WANT TO COME INTO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS, UH, ASKING THE BOARD TO MOVE THROUGH THE PROCESS, UH, LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR AND SET BUDGET PRIORITIES, BOARD BUDGET PRIORITIES, COMMENTS.
NO, HAD A, HAD A CONVERSATION WITH, UM, CFO CROSBY TODAY.
SO I THINK THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE WAY TO MOVE FORWARD.
INGRID, ANY COMMENT? NO, I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME.
THE JANUARY WORK SESSION JUST TO START YEAH, AGREED.
GETTING A PICTURE OF WHAT THE BUDGET PRESENTATION IS GOING TO BE.
AND THE BUDGET PRIORITIES, WE'LL DO IT KIND OF THE WAY WE DID IT LAST YEAR.
IT'S EACH, UH, FOR EACH BOARD MEMBER, UH, GIVING IT A PRIORITIES AND CLOUT, YOU GONNA CLOUD IT LIKE YOU DID LAST YEAR.
MA'AM, UH, ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID LAST YEAR THAT WAS, UH, HELPFUL, UH, TO ME AS WELL, UH, WAS THAT YOU, YOU, YOU MADE A RECOMMENDATION FOR BOARD MEMBERS TO SEND IN, UH, SOME OF THEIR PRIORITIES THAT I WAS THEN ABLE TO UTILIZE TO BUILD, UH, THAT, THAT BUDGET PRIORITY EXERCISE, UH, WITH THE INFORMATION FROM ANYBODY WHO HAD, WHO HAD SENT IT IN.
SO, SO YOU WANT US TO SEND IN SOME, SOME INDIVIDUAL PRIORITIES? YEAH.
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT, THAT YEAH.
ARE, ARE, ARE THE PRIORITIES, UH, FOR, FOR EACH OF YOU INDIVIDUALLY.
UH, DON'T SHARE THEM AMONGST EACH OTHER, JUST RIGHT.
JUST INDIVIDUALLY WORK IT OUT AND, AND SEND IT INTO ROBIN.
AND THEN I'LL GATHER THEM FROM ROBIN AND I'LL PULL IT TOGETHER SO WE CAN
[00:15:01]
MOVE THROUGH THAT BUDGET EXERCISE.I'LL, UH, I'LL SEND OUT A, UH, EMAIL TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS ASKING THEM TO DO THAT, UM, BY SAY WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
I WILL GIVE ROBIN TIME TO COLLATE IT AND EVERYTHING, BUT I'LL, I'LL DO THAT THIS EVENING.
UH, STIPENDS, WHAT'S THAT ABOUT? UH, THIS IS, UH, INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD REGARDING, UH, THE ADJUSTMENTS THAT, THAT WE HAVE MADE ON, ON STIPENDS FOR, UH, FOR PERSONNEL THAT, THAT HAVE OTHER RESPONSIBILITIES, WHETHER THEY'RE DIRECTOR OF BANDS, WHETHER THEY'RE, UH, UH, WHATEVER STIPENDS ARE APPROPRIATE WITHIN OUR SYSTEM.
UH, AND WE, WE MADE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE COMPENSATION ON, ON STIPENDS, AND WE WANT TO JUST, UH, TALK ABOUT THAT WITH THE BOARD.
ANY QUESTIONS, INGRID OR CARLTON? I HAVE, I HAVE TWO COMMENTS.
ONE IS, UM, THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE, IS THAT JUST OUR ROUTINE, SORT OF WHERE WE'RE AT THAT WE GET FROM ROBERT? UM, OR IS THAT A SPECIAL CONSTRUCTION UPDATE? OH, THIS IS, THIS IS ESSENTIALLY, UH, A, A A A A ROUTINE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.
UH, BECAUSE IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY, YOU WILL NOT HAVE HAD ONE.
AND IF WE DON'T DO IT AT THIS JUNCTURE, UH, THEN WE'LL MISS THE MONTH OF JANUARY.
SO MY QUESTION, MY, MY, MY REQUEST WOULD BE TWO, ONE TO BOTH ROBERT AND TO RIVERVIEW CHARTER.
THIS IS A BIG AGENDA WITH A LOT OF TOPICS, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A LEARNING EXERCISE FOR OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS.
UM, SO I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT RIVERVIEW IN THE PAST, THEY'VE COME AND THEY'VE GIVEN US SORT OF A MARKETING VIDEO, TALKED ABOUT, YOU KNOW, I I, WE JUST NEED TO KIND OF KEEP THOSE TWO SORT OF, UM, PRO FORMA AGENDA ITEMS EFFICIENT SO THAT WE CAN REALLY FOCUS ON THE BUDGET PRIORITIES AND THE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW, UH, MR. DALLAS AND COLONEL GEIER FEEL ABOUT THAT.
HEY, INGRID, I TALKED TO, UH, DEVONTE SINGLETON YESTERDAY ABOUT HIS REPORT.
HE'S GOING TO HAVE TO DO IT ON ZOOM BECAUSE HE HAS TO BE AT A, A CHARTER SCHOOL CONFERENCE.
AND, UH, I, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
AND IT WILL NOT BE A MARKETING, UH, KIND OF THING.
IT WILL BE THESE ARE, THESE ARE MY, MY PRIORITIES, THESE ARE MY CHALLENGES.
THESE ARE, THESE ARE, UH, HOW, WHAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON AND ACADEMICS.
BUT IT WILL BE A VERY EFFICIENT REPORT.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST THAT FROM MR. OTTING AS WELL, BECAUSE THAT'S A LOT OF INFORMATION, BUT WE GET IT PRETTY ROUTINELY.
UM, SO KINDA TAKE IT TO THE YEAH.
YOU KNOW, AN EXECUTIVE SESSION, A EXECUTIVE, UH, PIECE, ONE PAGER COULD PROBABLY BE SUFFICIENT.
AND I WOULD EMPHASIZE ALSO TO, ESPECIALLY TO, TO ALL OUR BOARD MEMBERS AND SOME OF OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS, IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS TO SEND THEM IN TO MR. ING IN ADVANCE.
'CAUSE IT'S WHAT, 80 SOME PAGES OF SLIDES IS GENERALLY
SO IT'S A LOT TO GO THROUGH, BUT WE GET IT ROUTINELY EVERY MONTH.
CAN I FOLLOW UP ON THAT, MR. CHAIR? GOOD.
SO, UH, WE HAD TALKED ABOUT THERE BEING A FORMAT FOR PRESENTATIONS.
SO THERE WILL BE A, AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY NOTE LONGER THAN TWO PAGES.
THERE'LL BE THE CONTENT, UH, THAT COULD BE AS LONG AS THE PRESENTERS FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE INDIVIDUALLY, WE AS BOARD MEMBERS WOULD DI REVIEW AND DIGEST THAT.
BUT THEN AT THE, UM, THE THIRD PART WOULD BE WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS AND WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THEY ASKING FROM THE BOARD? UH, WHAT'S THE TRIGGER DATE FOR THAT BEGINNING TO EXECUTE THAT? THE, THIS BOARD MEETING THAT JUST GOT CANCELED.
SO, UH, SOME OF THESE ITEMS ON HERE, SO THE DIFFERENCE IN A WORK SESSION AND WORK SESSION AND, UH, AND A BOARD MEETING IS THAT SOME OF THE ITEMS IN WORK SESSIONS DON'T HAVE ANY ACTION.
THEY'RE JUST, UH, UH, INFORMATIVE COMPONENTS WHERE YOU DO A DEEPER DIVE FOR BOARD MEMBERS IN THIS.
SOMETIMES THEY DO A FEW OF THESE, UH, OR A COUPLE OF THESE ARE GONNA HAVE SOME, SOME BOARD ACTION.
UH, BUT LIKE, LIKE, LIKE THE RIVERVIEW CHARTER ONE IS GONNA HAVE, UH, A BOARD ACTION A A VOTE FOR, FOR, FOR APPROVAL AT THE END OF IT.
AND WE, WHAT HAVE WE MISSED FROM, UH, THE MEETING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE HAD LAST NIGHT, EXCEPT
[00:20:01]
FOR THE WEATHER? IS ANYTHING THAT WE MISSED OUT OF THAT, UH, AGENDA? ACTUALLY, TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, I WENT THROUGH THE AGENDA AND I, AND I PULLED OUT, UH, THE CRITICAL COMPONENTS THAT HAD TO COME BEFORE THE BOARD.UH, SO ANY, ANYTHING, YOU KNOW, THE POINTS OF CELEBRATION OBVIOUSLY IS NOT ON HERE.
UH, AND, AND, UH, ITEMS FROM A SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT THAT WERE INFORMATIONAL ITEMS, UH, FOR THE BOARD ARE NOT ON HERE AS WELL.
SO, SO THOSE ARE, THOSE ARE TWO ITEMS THAT CAN GO ON TO THE NEXT BOARD MEETING, WHICH MEANS, UH, UH, WE DON'T, WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO RESCHEDULE THAT, THAT MEETING.
WE CAN ACCOMPLISH IT THROUGH THIS AND WITH, WITH THE EXECUTIVE SESSION.
THE OTHER THING I DID, I LOOKED AT, UH, FUTURE TOPICS, UH, DOCUMENT THAT THE BOARD HAS.
AND, AND THAT'S WHERE I BROUGHT IN THE STIPEND, UH, PIECE BECAUSE, UH, THAT WAS A REQUEST FROM A BOARD MEMBER.
AND I BELIEVE IT HAD BEEN ASSIGNED TO A, TO A FUTURE MEETING, A, A, A WORK SESSION.
SO THIS, THIS COVERS THAT ONE.
IF THERE'S NO OBJECTION BY, UH, TURNER.
UM, UM, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND THE LEGACY EXISTING BOARD MEMBERS, PREEXISTING BOARD MEMBERS, COULD WE SEE WHAT'S LEFT ON THAT, UH, TOPICS LIST? UH, 'CAUSE THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT, UH, IN CONVERSATIONS HAVE COME UP.
UH, THERE'S SOME NEW, UH, THINGS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE, LIKE THE $500 BILLION INVESTMENT IN TECHNOLOGY.
AND SO IT MIGHT BE WORTHWHILE FOR US TO HAVE A VERY RIGOROUS REVIEW OF IF HOW THE SCHOOL DISTRICT MIGHT GEAR UP TO PARTICIPATE IN THAT AND OTHERS.
ROB ROBIN, DO YOU HAVE THAT, UH, HAVE THAT LIST? UM, ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE FUTURE TOPIC LIST? YES.
THERE WAS ONLY ONE, WAS ONLY ONE THING LEFT ON THE FUTURE, UH, TOPIC LIST AND LEGISLATIVE STUFF WAS, WAS NOT STUFF THAT WAS ON IT.
I WILL SAY, UH, MR. DALLAS, I TOTALLY AGREE.
I ALSO KNOW, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE FACILITIES MASTER PLAN IS A BIG BUNCH.
I BUNCH OF INFORMATION THAT WILL GENERATE A LOT OF DISCUSSION.
AND I THINK THE BOARD BUDGET, WHEN I LOOK AT WHAT OTHER BOARDS ARE DOING THIS TIME OF YEAR, THEY'RE STARTING TO GET A ROUGH OUTLINE OF WHAT THE DISTRICT IS GONNA PRESENT.
AND IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO BRING UP PRIORITIES.
IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS SORT OF CHALLENGES.
SO TO ME, I THINK WE SHOULD LOOK AT OUR FUTURE TOPIC LIST, BUT I FEEL LIKE THIS AGENDA IS GOING TO BE CHOCKFULL OF INFORMATION
LIKE I'M MORE, IT'S, IT'S A LOT TO, TO DO IN, IN ONE DAY.
ARE YOU REFERRING TO THIS AGENDA THAT WE'RE REVIEWING? YEAH, YEAH.
NO, I'M, I'M REFERRING TO ADDING THESE TOPICS TO THE LIST THAT ONLY, AH, I THINK AS CUSHING BARRY SAID, THERE'S ONLY ONE THERE NOW.
BUT THE NEW, WITH THE NEW ADMINISTRATION, THERE ARE LOTS OF THINGS THAT ARE DEVELOPING THE $500 BILLION, UH, TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENT.
I'M ALREADY HAVING PEOPLE CONTACT TO SAY HOW, UH, ON THE PRIVATE SIDE WE'RE GOING TO GET INVOLVED.
SO, UH, WE WANT GET TO THE HEAD OF THE LIST FOR THAT, IF POSSIBLE.
ONE THING I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THE, UH, LAST, UH, UH, AGENDA ITEM IS, UH, THE BOARD, THE CHAIR REPORT.
THAT SHOULD BE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MEETING.
UM, WHERE DO YOU WANT IT? LET'S, I, I'D LIKE TO DO IT AT THE END OF THE MEETING.
YOUR CALL, SIR? YEAH, LET'S DO IT AT THE END OF THE MEETING.
ANY, ANY OTHER, UH, ITEMS THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS? NONE HERE.
UH, PASTOR GORDON, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO, TO MENTION? SORRY, I WAS ON MUTE.
UM, NO, NOT, NOT AT THE MOMENT.
JUST, JUST LISTENING AND LEARNING.
UH, DR. CARR, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO COMMENT ON? I THINK YOU'RE MUTED, DAVID.
SORRY,
UM, NO, I'M GOOD, UH, FOR THE MOMENT AND LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 31ST.
[00:25:01]
OKAY.UH, MS. FRAZIER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU'D LIKE TO, TO ADD? NO, SIR.
I THINK THAT'S ALL OF THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS THAT I SEE ON THERE.
MR. SMALL, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO ADD? UH, NO SIR.
ALRIGHT, SIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WELL EXPLAIN THE LAST FUTURE TOPIC AGENDA.
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE FOR ME TO ADD ON THIS? CARLTON, DID YOU WANNA ADD ON TO OH, OH, YES.
A UH, REVIEW OF, UH, THE 500 TECHNOLOGY, BUT THE $500, $500 BILLION, UH, IN TECHNOLOGY THAT'S BEING TRIGGERED BY THE US GOVERNMENT AND THE NEW ADMINISTRATION, UH, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE, UH, ENTITIES ARE ALREADY BEGINNING TO CALL AND SAY, UH, HOW ARE YOU GONNA BE INVOLVED? NOT ME, NOT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PER SE, BUT, UH, PERSONAL PRIVATE CALLS.
AND SO, UM, WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
SEEMS LIKE THERE'S GONNA BE A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY AND IT MAY, IT ACTUALLY MAY FLOW OVER INTO THE ACADEMIC PRESENTATIONS AS TO HOW DO WE PREPARE, UH, FOR THIS, THIS TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF INVESTMENT THAT'S GOING TO, YOU KNOW, TRY TO MOVE THE US UH, SUSTAIN BEING IN THE FOREFRONT.
ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT STARGATE? YES.
HEY, EVEN A BLIND HAWK, AUSTIN PRESS, EVEN A BLIND FINDS ACORN EVERY NOW AND THEN.
IF THERE'S NOTHING FURTHER, UH, WE WILL ADJOURN BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
ANY OBJECTION? ANY OBJECTION, MOVE.
