So we have six submissions for public comment this evening. The first comment this evening is from Lynn Quarter. Lynn writes, I wanted to write a note of appreciation for the detailed information that Cameron Poole presented at the last board meeting and for all the work he and others are engaging in to create a more equitable district for our students and families at Clayton. I was especially excited to hear about the Equity and Excellence Master's Certificate Partnership and also love seeing the data on percentage of new faculty diverse hires. I believe that hiring and retaining a diverse teaching staff is beneficial for all of our students in Clayton. I also appreciated Jason Wilson directing our attention to the discontinuation of the VIC program and to the question of what our plan will look like as we move forward without that program in place. I look forward to hearing more in the coming months. Diversity in our schools is something that I value immensely as a Clayton parent and alumni. Thank you to the board for your continued commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and A-bar work in our district. Second comment is from Amber Kempf. It reads, I see Mr. Poole is constructing a solid plan to build upon the equity and inclusion initiatives of our district's strategic plan that this school board, our past and current administration, students, teachers, parents, and the greater Clayton community has been advocating for and working towards the past several years.
