Good evening. This meeting is now convened at 5.07 p.m. I would like to ask everyone to please silence all cell phones. A quorum of board members is present in the auditorium. I'm board vice president Angela Lamont Flowers. I will preside over tonight's meeting. I'm joined by board members Marty Goosen and Karen Duffy. Our first order of business is to hear from speakers to agenda items. We have three registered speakers who will be limited to two minutes each per board policy. Please come to the podium and state your topic. Ms. Smith, please call all speakers. I'd like to call Donna Garner followed by Ruth Kravitz followed by Tanya Wells. Donna Garner. Ruth Kravitz. Time to speak for two minutes. Non-NES schools are being cut $200 per student and NES schools are being cut $100 per student. Principals are being told to cut staff even when they can meet the target by cutting other expenses. That's bad for kids. The June budget you approved assumed a $4,000 student enrollment drop, but that loss had already happened since snapshot. For that budget to work, HISD, you guys, would have had to assume that not a single student would have left between last June and this coming October. The budget was out of date when it was written. And that's wrong. Another 4,500 kids have left since then. How many more before snapshot? And very dear to my heart, and I hope to some of you, I'm concerned that you're closing a park when you did not have to. Just three years ago, Grimes Park was renova …

They sign families up for SNAP, Medicaid, and one of our newer endeavors is signing up for health care assistance. Yeah, yeah. And already, I'm going to talk a little bit with you next. So, I've heard of 2-1-1 and I know Uniteway. Can you tell us a little bit about how 2-1-1 and Uniteway are connected and how you all work to serve our whole community? Of course.
