That was good. Go ahead Chris. So what I want to say is that if I was not on the board and hadn't been able to ask you guys why in the world this doesn't say specific building names you know it would you know I want us to make sure that we are really doing in our PR work and in our campaign effort for this bond to pass that we are being as specific as possible. This is just a little a little yes we're being specific in the way that they want us to say you know you know what I'm saying though the fact that we had to take the school names out I think is hard but I want to make sure that every voter that goes into that voting on April 7th knows actually what that really specifically means and actually has possibly had pictures of what those mean. That's what I want to make sure that if we can do that that it's not going to be vague you know they're going to be there's going to be real concrete understanding. Yeah. Our informational campaign has to make sure all that data gets out there. Absolutely. And on the flip side I think it's important to keep the ballot language vague in case I don't know what happens and we are not locked in to very specific projects. Yeah I think that makes sense but it's almost good to educate the public that it won't say on their XYZ. Exactly.

One thing we still have to do is name the proposition and make sure you may want to talk about our proposal. Yeah the communication team which just a reminder for the public includes Gina Tartt our chief communications officer and we're working with Donovan Group as well as an individual who was a chief communications officer for the do that helped them with their recent campaign Susan Downing. So they came up with a few ideas and one of the ones that rose to the top would be proposition O for our schools our community our future. For zero tax rate. We talked about that. It could also mean a zero tax rate increase. Proposal proposition. Proposal is O our schools our community and our future. So I just want to add a couple things so we are not voting on this tonight. We will be voting on this. Officially in January the end of January between now and the end of January I would expect that as a board we receive additional information about exactly how we are triaging and prioritizing. All of the things that we've seen tonight and been talking about over the last year as far as the needs that have been identified structurally systems wide educational programming wide within the long term facilities range plan. So I think we're all very well kind of aligned on that between the board and the district.

All of the things that we've seen tonight and been talking about over the last year as far as the needs that have been identified structurally systems wide educational programming wide within the long term facilities range plan. So I think we're all very well kind of aligned on that between the board and the district. Then the only other thing is that I wanted to add to what John said and John looked this up last week on his own and then sent it to me so that everybody would have it and I want to make sure everybody listening at home as well as everybody here at the board hears it too. We are currently indebtedness our current bond indebtedness is twenty eight point six million dollars. So that is the amount which will fluctuate a little between now and when we would retire that indebtedness in twenty twenty nine. But that is gives you an indication of the additional borrowing capacity that we have that we would have in addition to any appreciation that have that occurs between now and then when we might go out again and ask for an increase in our in our capacities. So that's it. Yeah. So any questions from the board for John or I or anybody else on anything I just said. No you explained that very well. That was good. Go ahead Chris.

Yeah I think that makes sense but it's almost good to educate the public that it won't say on their XYZ. Exactly. So I just want us to know that we that even though it doesn't call it out in the ballot language I want every voter to know what they're going to get when they go to say yes or no to this. Yeah. There are things that are not on here like it doesn't say we're going to buy school buses. We're not going to buy school buses but it is vague enough that you know if for some reason we were fortunate enough to have money left over. It can still be spent in these categories. Right. It's just incomprehensible the way ballot language is always. I mean always. And we're going to have to go out and explain what we're doing. It's always very confusing. Voters need to be educated because it is always confusing. The one thing though that I noticed is there's a question mark in there which however you continue to massage language we don't want to be questioning whether or not we really want this money. So that should probably be a period. No it is a question. Shall we borrow the money. Shall we borrow money. Shall we borrow money. It is a question. It has to be a question. I had another grammatical though question. I know that career and technical education is a title of a CTE is a title of a program.

I had another grammatical though question. I know that career and technical education is a title of a CTE is a title of a program. In this case I'm not sure it needs to be capitalized because to me it reads just like fine and performing arts. I wasn't sure it's like a general career and technical education not specific. It's a macro not a micro. Yeah. Does it even need to be there. CTE classrooms can't see CTE is a defined right. But can't we just say classrooms which were already there. Why do we need to say this. Right. So I think we can take that whole thing up but I'm not a lawyer and we'd be more specific. I think that's why I'll discuss it with legal counsel. Well if we're going to get to that level if we're going to get to that level they're not using the Oxford comma. I just want to point that out. I guess we could probably call libraries just media centers. I guess that is doesn't need to have the word library but I guess the public knows the word library. John that was the thrust of my initial comment that anything you can do to simplify this language will make it more comprehensible and reduce the number of phrases that are in there.
