matt has managed to keep kalw strong throughout all of this. without compromising its commitment to being commercial free. so we're in agreement as we search for the next general manager that a big priority for that general manager needs to include generating the resources necessary to help klaw sustain and grow its educational and community mission. but tonight, on behalf of sfusd i want to thank matt martin for leading klaw in a panther is consistent with our core values of being social justice, diversity-driven and fear less. matt, you have dedicated 16 years to our 77-year-old community treasure that is klaw radio. our community thanks you for your stewardship. >> thank you. commissioner sanchez. >> yes, i'd like to thank you for your commitment and your years of service with klaw. making that link stronger with our district and our students. i think it's so important. i also want to thank you and others who brought us the daily menu for our lunches. which ask us to suspend our disbelief our school lunches are that yummy. it's wonderful to
