From the transcript

So I want to thank everyone for being here tonight, and, um, you know, I wanted to mention about the culinary program. I'm really excited about that, that our students get hands-on skills that they can take into their future. It's great to see any of those programs in our district. Again, I want to thank the speakers tonight fighting for our school nurses. I think that, you know, we need— I'm just speaking for myself— a committee that we can look into this deeper and come up with the best solutions.
