From the transcript
Um, the only thesis I can come up with is distributing board power to school-level autonomy will achieve what the community is yearning for. Um, and really the best way we can do that is by retaining 7 at-large members. We are not going to compete over geography But if we make resolution in a long-term plan to shift power to the school level, that will get what I believe Member Handeland thinks he wants, and what I know a lot of the community says they want. So, um, that's kind of all on my, my, my speech here. But thank you to so far those who support.
