constituent I told the board that I don't think the state taking over is the right move to take that that's not the right word to take however there are persons who seem to feel that this is the right thing in the in the school buildings and the community feel that this is the right thing to do so I want them to know all who are listening and for any media that may have their if this is what they want then I won't stop it but to go on the record to I don't feel it's the best for our district if this is what they want I'll give it to them but I truly think this is not they're losing their power they're losing their voice they're losing their vote but it's they want then I'm going to let them have it take the monkey off my back so I'm going to vote nay okay and I want this I want this to be noted in any any correspondence for the media I want all that noted as for I've put you down as a no miss me too and please have my reasons why I could go to the media well it's it's being reported so

give up right to be in control of our own School District numerous and this came after the I 95 publication publication that they saw in the TV of a line of people digging shovels into the ground and
