of Is there a safe passage plan in place for these students?

1:23:43

Yay.

1:23:43

Project pivot.

1:23:49

I'm also a big advocate of a sort of justice, which Dan doesn't like.

1:23:52

I love community schools.

1:23:54

Dan doesn't like them, and they work.

1:23:57

Have a conversation with Dan.

1:23:59

Talked to Dan.

1:24:00

Have a conversation with Dan because some of the data say these things work, but Dan don't believe in them.

1:24:16

Shout out to my age, too.

1:24:27

Alright.

1:24:44

Absolutely.

1:24:45

He just texts me.

1:24:54

Shout out to the chancellor.

Khalek Kirkland

1:23:40

Definitely.

1:23:41

And project pivot is helping with just stuff.

1:23:44

Yeah.

1:23:44

But the project I I hope I I know that you're an advocate of project I I know that you're

1:23:56

I'll talk to Dan about that.

1:23:57

Yeah.

1:24:06

Well, I I listen.

1:24:07

We all wanna make sure the first lesson, you know this as an educator.

1:24:10

You've only been working one less year because you look five years younger than I am.

1:24:14

So let me explain something to you.

1:24:17

You and I both know that there are three things that families are looking forward to when they send their child off to school.

1:24:23

The third thing is that they want their child to learn something every day.

1:24:27

The second thing is they want someone to care for their child.

1:24:31

You had a boo boo, you you lost your pet snake, whatever, whatever.

1:24:35

Is somebody gonna care for them?

1:24:36

But you know the first thing that a parent wants when they send their child off to school and you send your son off to school, is that he's safe.

1:24:46

So the project pivot has been helping with that in ways that I I'm just in love with our chancellor for coming up with that idea.
