From the transcript
And so I would say that while I am willing and happy to participate in this committee, I would respectfully bow out of participating as a committee chair of this committee if the deadline were to remain December 31st, because I, I worry that, um, that would come across as feeling pretty disingenuous to the community if we're trying to complete an entire listening effort by December 31st. And that is my feedback on the duration component. Thank you, Member Blakeslee. Um, did you have a suggested replacement duration? Yeah, I would propose having the committee be, um, be able to complete its work until the next reorg of the next school board.
