Okay. I wrote, well we all wrote each of you more personal notes so I'll save that for the writing, but to let the community, all the people listening know as a board we underwent training and evaluation of board dynamics and to summarize the Missouri School Board Association representative who works with boards said that we were amazing so I mean that's like the summary and the reason I'm sharing this year is that it really is a very important thing and it is the leadership of Stacey and Kim that has brought us to this place. The legacy, you know the wisdom that you all have cultivated in your six and seven years on the board and the way that you shared it with us will leave a legacy here and I truly believe that you two have changed the way that the Clayton School Board will function moving forward so it's enduring. Thank you. I'm trying to think of something I'll say some other things offline but I just you know in the I'll just say here publicly that you know this is a board and Leo touched on it a little bit and it's a board that really has gone through a lot of almost like eras shifting if you think about the recent past of the school board to where it was five or ten years ago to where it is now.

I'm going to try not to get emotional, but probably not going to work because Pam's emotional, but we've got a whole meeting to go so I'm going to keep it together and maybe later when we cake together again I'll get into the details, but I just want to say that these two women right here are incredibly wonderful role models to me personally, and what I love about that is that you're also incredible role models to all the students. I think about that. I think about if they watch these meetings and if you interact with them, et cetera, you're just fantastic people for our community to know and to be able to be touched by your wisdom and your kindness and your leadership. It's just been phenomenal for me and like I said for the whole community so I will kind of leave it at that for now, but I just want you both to know how much you'll be missed so much. It's going to be really, really hard without you guys, but we will do just fine and only your phone call away, but just know that you're always here with us. You're welcome. I didn't have anything prepared to say. I don't want anyone to feel like they have. No, no, absolutely. That wasn't prepared either. I was off the cuff. All right. You're better at this than I am.

All right. You're better at this than I am. I just think there have been some difficult times in the history of this board and Pam and I came in through a tough race and this has become a really cohesive effective board and I think that's truly a test of it to both of you and I think you handled some things with immense grace and I really thank you for that. It's very impressive. Thank you. I will go now. Kim got me into this whole mess. First of all. No, seriously. I think both of you have shown myself, I think everyone else at this table what it really looks like, what excellence as a board member looks like, leadership, you know expertise, but open to hearing voices and building consensus so that's really what it's about so that legacy you guys bring will continue on. I guarantee that. Thank you. Okay.

You know there's one era and we transition to this era and this is a highly functioning board as the state has told us you know as Pam has reminded us as Leo has said and without the two of you I'm not sure where we would still be here just for the board and it's not clear how effective we would have been and this turned out to be a great group and leaves a high bar for the next folks coming on up so thank you guys for that. Thank you. I have faith in the next ones. So I'm going to turn it over to Nina for our student ref update. I would also really quickly just like to thank the board. It's been such an honor to work with all of you this year and I appreciate all the guidance and support you provided me. You are such great role models. Thank you so much.

You are such great role models. Thank you so much. So I'm going to talk a little bit about the technology studies that we did so on December 11 a group of fellow high school students from principals advisory club had the opportunity to review a potential new device for the upcoming school year. The team was very excited about the session. We spent about an hour and a half asking questions sharing feedback and exploring the device's features. We had a similar opportunity to evaluate a different device on February 11. Both sessions were very enjoyable and informative and the members of the principal's advisory club brought many thoughtful questions and ideas to the discussions. Throughout the process we had several opportunities to share feedback and ideas and the ability to keep multiple tabs open at once and faster loading speeds and a strong battery life. I had a great time getting to know the team at Apple and working with the students on the club and always provide great feedback and have so many ideas and excited to hear about the results. Thanks Nina. I'm so glad to hear about that experience with the students trying out different devices. Thank you. That's great. Okay. Now we're moving on to agenda item 5.1 which is Dr. Garganigo and Dr. Halscher in the social studies curriculum. Good evening. I'd like to first start by introducing a couple of people to you. So first Dr.
