The high school knows what the elementary school is, because it's important that when we come to you in January, That we don't have seven or eight master plans that represent the needs of each school. We have one district master plan that represents the consensus that we've built through this process of engagement with the building levels, engagement with the building level community, and engagement with the community as a whole that says this is the Clayton Long Range Facility Master Plan. And that's something that gives this district, your board, that guiding light moving forward to base future decisions off of. So that's our charge is, again, lead you up the mountain and back down. And that's the process that we propose to go through. Thank you so much for that. I'm sure some of us have questions. Jason, I'll start with you. Great. Thanks for being here. Appreciate the overview. Just a couple questions. First, can you talk a little bit about how our facilities plan gets married to our strategic plan and how those play with each other? That's usually the strategic plan is our first filter to get engaged with, and frankly, we're at the starting point of that. So, yeah, so we want to make sure that as we're – the language, the guiding principles help guide some of those decisions that we make. We also want to have that, like I said, that first filter as we're talking through with our subcommittees that is top of mind and is brought together.
