Is there a scenario that you could see at some particular point in time when all of the legal wrangling in reference to all of this is over where you all can get together as one body, although you're two separate bodies, to really address the needs of the school board and our educational system moving forward?
19:32
Yes, like I said, we'll see how the court play out.
19:34
I don't know what the timeline will be when we have a decision, but I do know the elected body was elected and everybody is there for the right reasons to make progress and move the district forward.
19:48
I do know the appointed body, like I said, they're not fully operational yet.
19:51
BUT THE APPOINTED BODY, I KNOW A COUPLE OLD PEOPLE THAT ARE APPOINTED BODY AS WELL, AND THEY'RE THERE FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.
19:58
AND SO ULTIMATELY, IF THEY'RE SUCCESSFUL, I THINK WE MAY HAVE SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO, YOU KNOW, JUST MAKE SOME MORE INNOVATIVE THOUGHTS, INNOVATIVE THINGS INTO THE DISTRICT.
20:09
AND I KNOW FOR US, WE'RE ALWAYS GOING TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOLS AND ACHIEVEMENT.
