you're all set. Bye. Good evening. I'd like to welcome everyone to the regular board meeting for the Board of Education data January 14. We'll do the pledge of allegiance first. I've let the allegiance to the flag. You know, that's the name of the mayor's death. And do you read the public for which it stands? One nation, under your eyes. And there is a liberty and there is a terror. Before we get to public comment, just briefly, we do have a lot on our agenda tonight. So if you're here for public comment, please keep it short and sweet. Less than three minutes and two something on the agenda. Thank you very much.
Um, Alex, that's you guys, right? Yes. Okay. Um, I've had four. If you could also state your name. Okay. Doris. Good evening. My name is Doris Maldonado Mendez and I'm a proud parent of two students at and over elementary. Um, as we know, Connecticut's facing a serious challenge with a hundred over a hundred and nineteen thousand young people about one and five state why that are considered at a risk or disconnected from school, community or both. World towns like ours feel this more deeply with distance and limited services. That's why the work happening here at and over elementary is so important. This year's student and
faculty member family centered enrichment opportunities in literacy, social emotional learning, dance through life, STEM enrichment, the W.A.E.S. News Media now and the upcoming.
