i have one public speaker on this item, josh davidson. >> hi there. as of two weeks ago, finally have the title of chef, which i've been trying to get for nine years now. so thank you to all the folks that made that possible. so, i'm speaking on item 3514, there is a decimal i don't remember -- .1, thank you. represents the material workers, called asbestos workers. and we used to have 15 of these folks doing safety training, remediation and materials management. we now have three people and two of them are imminently slated for retirement. so in the latest round of discussions about funding allocation, we've presented a proposal to your leadership to develop a training program, because we find that the very specialized needs of the school district make it hard to hire from outside for this kind of work. so when you confer with leadership about implementing this board policy, we hope you mention to them it's important we have advocate staff. we have 141 facilities and one person cannot possibly do all that work. thanks. >> good, thank you very much, j
