From the transcript
I want to make sure that the community is more engaged with discussions that are taking place on schools. I want the public to, to say, you know, we work for you. If you want to vote this way or not, it's okay. I'm not afraid of these votes, and I don't think we need to get out there and say we, we have to, we oppose this because we don't want the public voice to be heard on this issue. They want to go forward with it with the public.
