I wonder if we are at one of those inflection points now. \r\n\r\nSo, thank you for supporting young people. Thank you for supporting public education. Thank you for supporting teachers that work hard every day to support children in public schools. I, and the other stakeholders in my building, are so grateful for your investment in our work.
