We are definitely stronger together. We are not only members of the Board of Education, we are also parents of your students and residents of the Clayton community. From our school board perspective, as well as from our parent perspective, we have seen firsthand your incredible flexibility, kindness, and collaboration during this unexpected challenge, and we are extremely thankful for your efforts and contributions. With gratitude, each of us on the board. So I just thought reading that publicly to the community would be an easy way for us to recognize our administrators, faculty, and staff who have been outstanding in the aftermath of this tornado. So we recognize you and thank you. And now we will move to our action items. The first one is John Brazeal. Proposed 2025-2026 budget. Thank you. Good evening, everyone. Tonight I'm presenting the proposed budget for the upcoming 25-26 fiscal year. Last meeting, I presented a preliminary budget, and we went through that fairly quickly. Spervantage, and I indicated that there was possibility of some changes, and indeed we have made change both to revenue and expenditures in this budget. But at this point, I do believe it is ready for board approval. It does not vary significantly in strategy from the past year or two. Spervantage, Proprietary, and Proprietary. The budget is a year round process. It is intended to acknowledge the revenue and project the revenues that we expect to come in and then have a spending plan that meets the district's objectives. I believe that this plan does that.
