From the transcript
Thank you, Mr. President. Um, I'd like to express how much it meant to me to see the start of public comment. Two teachers coming on a Tuesday night— you got to wake up early tomorrow, and the board needs to know what you're going through. Um, so for the teacher at Tyson and the teacher at Golden View your testimonies meant a lot to me. And then hearing later Dr. Bryant's, um, his, his commitment to ASD Listens, I think I'd like to add a consideration of a plug where ASD Listens can also include case studies by school boards visiting classrooms as we are available and as it could be not disruptive to the school.
