The last item on our this agenda, um, we were due to discuss the newly created line item budget for the current fiscal year that we're in 20 fiscal year 24. Um, we allotted 15 minutes for discussion and unfortunately, the superintendent's not able to be here tonight, nor is is, uh, Mr. Kelly. So we're gonna push that into January. But I really want everyone who's watching to know that on our website, which is a lovely new website. Um, if you go to it melrose schools.com, and then you go to district information, go under there. And the third item is budget information and documents. Click into there and you'll get to see our lovely salary budget line item. You can see the whole budget and you can see the categories that the school committee votes on. And then you can go in for those people that want as much data as possible, you can go into each line item or group like Hoover Horseman, Lincoln Roosevelt, all our schools, and then athletics, extracurricular, special Ed Teaching and Learning Administration system-wide grants. So everything you ever wanted to think about in relation to our budget that we're currently in is there. And this is how we will also build out the fiscal year 25 budget. And that's being worked on feverishly by the people in the financial office. And that's all this evening for finance and, and facilities. Happy holidays and Happy New Year.
