. >> thank you, laura fair. i'm a statewide elective with statewide council and would like to thank you for all the work with the council and we are disappointed that the chief did not agree to the amendments that were very strong and we were very appreciative of the board for taking those extra steps to try to make certain that happened. we are verien encouraged that he is very much committed to see the intent of the mou carried out and the provisions become a reality and looking forward to work with the superintendant to make sure that in that mou is shared with staff. the promises of the mou in terms of reducing arrest and citations and disproportionality for our youth that come in contact with police become a reality. we look forward to ensure that those who work on the police department side also become a reality and staff and officers are trained. we look forward to working with everyone who has turned now words on paper and something that is meaningful for our students and makes it better safer plague --
