I would like to also thank the City Council and City Manager Christian Clay for allowing me to take some time here at the beginning of your meeting to express gratitude on behalf of the Kern County Superintendent School's family.

And so the support and the resources that they need is given to them upon whatever they need to ensure that they are safe and that they can get through this. We are also offering services to all of the KC SOS family during this time period who experiences any drama or trauma due to this. But I do want to also commend the efforts of the local city police department, Chief Stratton, Assistant Chief Blakemore, Captain Croker, who led all of the efforts, all of the agencies, the fire department, hall ambulance, behavioral health, you name i [Excerpt truncated on this listing page; use the official record for the full text.]
