up and do the next presentation. >> good evening, commissioners and superintending garcia. i am honored to be here to present this special service award to our guru of student assignment, archie. he is our director of the student center. i think he started with the district as a teenager. we are talking about whippersnapper. he was a teenager when he started with the district. he was still in college. and working in student assignment has not scared him off yet. he stuck it through and has been very dedicated to this work. i truly am honored to be here giving him this recognition. it is not just the assignment. it is out reached, workshops, language verification --

language, address verification, student assignments. there is so much working edges. and i'm so grateful that when i came to work there we could work in partnership together. we have a great team he has built up of people from the epc that are just as dedicated as he is. we have worked through some hard work and a lot of difficult conversations. but he has always approached it with compassion and dedication and with a fair sense of equity and making sure that we implement this process with fidelity. he has always stayed true to that. i am very honored to recognize archie fokken from the epc.
