Wet weather doesn’t deter Montross Fall Festival fans Richard Leggitt

After receiving a midweek weather forecast that indicated clearing for the weekend, organizers of the annual Montross Fall Festival decided to stay on schedule for the popular weekend event. Unfortunately, the weather forecast was incorrect, and participants in the festival events were drenched. "The weatherman wasn't particularly honest with us, but we made the best of it," said Montross Town Manager Patricia Lewis. "I know the rain kept some away, but it was so much fun watching the people who embraced it." "We are here and we are going forward," said Montross Mayor Joey King. "Nothing is going to stop us." Town officials noted the festival was postponed because of weather last year and they were determined

Washington & Lee High School history teacher Jacob Inge poses with some students, and a couple of famous faces. Inge has made a big hit as a new teacher at the school.
New teachers have a plethora of activities to address from their first teaching day till the end of the year. In addition to their own classrooms, teachers have responsibilities outlined by the district and school administrators, district guidelines, an incredible amount of mandatory training, state mandated documentation requirements, in-school volunteering, and the never ending curriculum development. It takes a strong soul to become a teacher. Last year’s intense focus on recruiting yielded a new addition of delightful and talented teachers to our staff. See Inge, page 2
Westmoreland Sheriff’s deputies recognized
Four Westmoreland County sheriff's deputies were recognized last week at an awards luncheon at Stratford Hall sponsored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Rappahannock Area Alcohol Safety Action Program. The Friday luncheon recognized regional law enforcement personnel who excel in the enforcement of drunken driving legislation. Westmoreland deputies recognized were Senior Deputy Darrel S. Johnson, Deputy Toni M. Moles, Senior Deputy Robert M. Morris and Deputy Antwan X. Smith. A total of 22 Virginia law enforcement officers were recipients of the prestigious awards including seven sheriff's officers, one police officer and officers from the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and Virginia State Police. "I am extremely proud of the deputies that were recognized at the awards luncheon. Their dedication and commitment to saving lives through their efforts in DUI enforcement doesn't go unnoticed and is to be commended," said Westmoreland County Sheriff C.O. Balderson. Pictured are Moles, left, Johnson, Morris, Diane Williams Barbour of the Rappahannock Area ASAP), Smith, Patrol Sergeant Eric J. Molinares and Jan Withers, National president emeritus of MADD.
Bunche film premieres at college to acclaim Phyllis Cook
A documentary film telling the story of gradual school desegregation in King George drew more than 150 viewers to its first public showing on Sept. 25. at the Dahlgren campus of the University of Mary Washington. The film screening took place immediately prior to a King George School Board meeting whose location had been transferred to the UMW-D auditorium to accommodate the expected crowd. The 26-minute video, “The Road to School Desegregation in King George County,” is the result of a partnership between the Ralph Bunche Alumni Association and King George County Public Schools. That fact, and its premiere taking place in conjunction with a School Board meeting made the screening itself a historic event. That’s because Ralph Bunche High School opened in 1949, after the School Board and then-Superintendent T. Benton Gale were sued by African-American residents. Plaintiffs won their case which fought the ‘separate but equal’ doctrine, allowed under school segregation, resulting in the construction of Ralph Bunche. Kristine Hill, King George division Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction, and Claudette Jordon, President of the Ralph Bunche Alumni Association, introduced the film.
Hill talked about how the film came about and pointed to the eight panels arranged on either side of the stage. They measure about 7 ½ feet high and 32 inches wide, and like the film, provide the historical context of African-American education in King George from early oneand two-room schools, to the legal fights for equal facilities and teacher compensation, and the construction of Ralph Bunche High School toward school integration finally achieved in 1968. Hill related how the panels were unveiled in April 2015 at UMW-D, after their creation by Dr. Cristina Turdean’s museum design & interpretation spring semester class at the University of Mary Washington’s Department of Historic Preservation, at the request of the Ralph Bunche Alumni Association. Turdean’s students recorded oral histories, researched books, articles and court cases about the era and obtained photos from local people, the Virginia State University Library, Library of Virginia and the Library of Congress. All research materials, along with the panels, were turned over to the Alumni Association to preserve the heritage of the Ralph Bunche High School and be incorporated into future displays intended for the former school building when it becomes the Ralph See Film, page 2
W&L High School ends football series with King George after 60 years Richard Leggitt

Washington & Lee High School Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis announced this week that the Westmoreland County school is ending its 60-year long home and home varsity football series with King George high school. "When I played football at W&L in the 70s and 80s, King George was our biggest rival," said Lewis. "We both were District 1 schools and our enrollment was 515 and theirs was 530. Our games were extremely close." "But today King George is District 4 and has an enrollment of almost 1,400, while we are going back to District 1 and our enrollment is 430," Lewis said. "They beat us this year 72 to 0. Because of the size difference, we are just not competitive with them in football any longer." "The way things are now, it is not

doing either school any favors to continue these games," Lewis said. "We will continue to play them in basketball and baseball, and maybe someday if we are able to build our football program back up to a competitive level we might seek to get King George back on our schedule." "I am disappointed that we will not be playing them anymore," said King George Athletic Director Alex Fisher. "We are not happy about it. It's a community thing. We have been playing them since the 60s and our older alumni like that we play each other. It's been our opening game and always drew a good crowd whether we were playing in King George or Montross. I hate to see it end."

Inge: Dynamic presence From page 1
Some of the new teachers timidly face their new classrooms and try their best to calm their fears. Others, charge in, ready to take on the class, the school, the community. One of these eager young teachers is Washington & Lee High School History teacher, Jacob Inge. He described his first day of teaching as a day of many emotions, “ I imagine it was pretty much the same combination of anxiousness, nervousness and excitement that most other teachers feel when they don’t know their students. The first day itself was great, the people I work with are wonderful, and the students are great kids. I couldn’t have asked for much more on a first day.” Jacob has been impressing people ever since he arrived at Washington & Lee High School. His high energy exudes from his inner being. Always smiling, ever pleasant, Jacob shows a maturity far above many of his peers. There are some people who were destined to be a teacher and fortunately for W&L students, Jacob is a born teacher. “In one way, I’ve known my entire life that I wanted to be a teacher; especially, by my third year of college. I grew up around two parents that were both wonderful teachers in their own right. When you’re young, it’s not especially “cool” to follow in your parents’ footsteps. I fought against the urge to teach for as long as I could, and when I finally accepted my career path, nothing felt more natural.” Jacob graduated in 2009 from Beaver Area High School in Pennsylvania. He received both his Bachelors and Masters at Edinboro University in Erie, Pennsylvania. His undergraduate degree was in History with a minor in Political Science. Jacob’s Master’s is in Education. When asked if he had a special teacher who influenced him in becoming a teacher he quickly responded,” Yes, one high school and one college professor. The high school teacher is sort of cheating; it’s my Dad. I had my Dad for all four years of high school, and I have never come across a purely better teacher. I know, really objective, right? My college professor nearly saved my teaching career. Being mesmerized by his storytelling, reminded me on a personal level, how much a good teacher can mean to a student. That impact you can have, those relationships you forge, and that is what teaching is about.” While only in his third week of teaching, Jacob is ecstatic about his new profession. He really enjoys discussing relevant issues with his students. “The wonderful thing about teaching government is that in some capacity, students care about what is being taught, because the subject is all-encompassing. When you as the teacher can facilitate legitimate thoughtful debate, that’s what I have enjoyed the most, thus far.” While trying to accommodate finding time for everything, Jacob laments the days of youth. “I’m a first year teacher, so hobbies are essentially nonexistent at this point of time. Once upon a time however, I remember enjoying reading, swimming, and camping.” He noted that one benefit of the job is the people of Westmoreland County. “While living in the north certainly doesn’t prepare you for how much people enjoy conversation in the south, it has been a welcome surprise.” Jacob’s immediate plans include continue teaching at W&L. “I’m not totally convinced I could handle more than that in the immediate future. Down the road, I plan on going back to school for another Master’s degree, this time in history, with a doctorate to follow, thereafter. After that, who knows?” His excitement about life and teaching is contagious. Jacob has hopes that his students learn life lessons from him. He notes, “There isn’t one way to think about things. Sometimes we get so bogged down in our own way of thinking or “how it’s always been” that we don’t realize or choose not to acknowledge other legitimate opinions and ways of thinking out there. Question things when you’re young, it makes being older a lot clearer.” Washington & Lee High School is a lot brighter place with Mr. Inge teaching there. His students and fellow instructors have found another terrific teacher to guide and inspire them. Westmoreland County Public Schools welcomes Mr. Inge and all the new instructors who are beginning their careers in our district.

Festival: Rain no obstacle From page 1
not to postpone it for a second year in a row. Events like the Kids Zone, sponsored by the Cople and Washington District parent-teacher organizations, and the annual Chandler Three Mile Run were wet, but that seemed to have little effect on the many enthusiastic participants. The fall festival, which was started more than 60 years ago, is held to celebrate the beginning of the fall season, but wet and sometimes cooler weather has often been a problem for the popular event. "I think the weather affected the turnout for this year’s festival and I'm sure many of the vendors didn't get a chance to set up either. It's unfortunate but we still had a pretty turnout," said Montross Vice-Mayor Terry Cosgrove. "The parade went on time and while we lost some participants due to the heavy rain about 2 p.m.'" Cosgrove said. "Those that took part got high marks from the viewers." Parade participants dealt with the rain in different ways, from rain slickers, to umbrellas to a band which traveled the parade route in a school bus playing music with their instruments sticking out the bus windows. "Fall Festival is apparently a tradition that locals are not willing to skip despite obstacles that might dissuade others " said festival organizer Becky Nelson. "It was amazing to watch emotions unfold and morph during the day." "Wary vendors set up in the early morning drizzle, but remained unscathed, even as the precipitation taunted them with downpour and actual deluge," Nelson said. "They stayed and enjoyed the mood of the crowd which only seemed to defiantly embrace the circumstances." "Instead of disappointment there was a childlike delight as the day culminated in a rain-soaked parade that went on as planned," Nelson said. "Montross is obviously a town that loves to gather and welcome others into their celebration of community. And even Mother Nature couldn't break their spirit. It was a fall festival that will not soon be forgotten!"

things right, right, right, until they become right,” Jordon said. She also offered thanks to the many involved, including retired Ambassador Pamela E. Bridgewater, who narrates the film in a clear, expressive manner. Jordon also provided a special presentation to Benson, saying the Ralph Bunche Alumni Association owes him, his staff and the School Board, “a debt of gratitude for your partnership in the creation of the video.” She said they were happy the film will be added to support school curriculum, enabling staff, “to teach from a local perspective regarding the history of Ralph Bunche High School, King George County and the immense efforts of all those pioneers towards equal education.” Jordon praised Benson, reading from a letter of presentation. “With the modern day ‘you’ as superintendent of King George Schools and the bygone era of T.
Benton Gale, we celebrate that you are the antithesis of him. You have been heralded by many as a man of vision — worthy of high praise. Your moral compass guides you to seek out multiple opportunities for historical correctness, equal education for all students, and to do the right thing when the wrong thing surfaces. “Dr. Benson, in appreciation of your vision, dedication, generosity and partnership, it is our pleasure to bestow upon you an ‘Honorary Lifetime Membership’ into The Ralph Bunche Alumni Association. We really are eternally grateful to you and thank you for your continued support.” Following the film, Benson thanked Jordon for her leadership role in the film project. “When the panels were first presented, the story was incredible,” Benson said. “And one of Dr. Turdean’s comments to the community was for
very likely that if the plaintiff is not reinstated that the Westmoreland County voters in the upcoming national elections will not be properly served," Hewitt declared. "It is unlikely that the party appointed to replace the plaintiff has the ability or the experience to handle the upcoming election as she has never before served as an assistant registrar nor a general registrar," Hewitt said. "It is more likely that the reinstatement of the plaintiff, who has
overseen many elections including presidential elections during her 27 year career, will provide the citizens of Westmoreland through her statutory duties a well known election," Hewitt ruled. Judge Hewitt ruled Hick's reinstatement will last until her current term expires on June 19, 2019 or until there is a further court ruling in the matter. "I am very thankful," Hicks said after the court's ruling. "My prayers were answered."

us to keep this story alive and to spread the story to make sure we had a good firm grasp of the importance of the Ralph Bunche School and the story of desegregation in King George County.” Benson said he was further prodded by School Board member Tammy Indseth. “She called me and said ‘can we get those panels into each and every one of our schools,’ and I thought that was a fabulous idea and I shared that with Claudette,” Benson said. “That’s when the idea occurred to capture it in a video so we could get it into all grades of our schools and not just one at a time. I’m just so happy this project came to fruition.
Claudette is a remarkable leader, a remarkable person, and someone who saw this through from beginning to end.” Benson presented Jordon with a certificate excellence for the Ralph Bunche Alumni Association, “for a generous and lasting contribution to the King George community.” Jordon accepted it on behalf of the alumni, then spoke off-the-cuff. “Remember, we’re all products of our time. And George Bush – not one of my favorites – said, ‘a country doesn’t hide from its history and mistakes. You fix the flaws and move forward’,” Jordon said. “And I think, that is what has happened.”

Letters to the editor
Beach Foundation.
Thanks to all who supported ‘Sirens of the Beach’ The Colonial Beach Foundation wishes to thank the citizens of Colonial Beach for their support during the recent “Sirens of the Beach” concert evening held at the Community Center on Marshall Avenue. All reports indicate this was a well-appreciated success and a great introduction of the newly renovated outdoor stage. With the support of the citizens and especially the sponsors of the event, the CB Foundation was able to raise several thousand dollars to be used for worthy local improvement projects including further improvements to the community center. This year’s sponsors include the generous support of: The Law Office of Thomas Y. Savage, Relda Schick of Coldwell Banker Elite and the Union Bank and Trust. Peter M. Fahrney, Colonial Beach The writer is president of the Colonial
Service Authority takes pride in providing clean drinking water One of the primary responsibilities of the King George County Service Authority (hereinafter KGCSA) is to provide a consistently reliable supply of safe drinking water to all public system customers. This is accomplished through the operation of 12 well driven water systems that produce more than 750,000 gallons of fresh water each day. Customers are charged for water consumption on a bi-monthly basis in the form of a utility bill (which also includes sewer and debt service charges). A minimum bill is assessed for water usage up to and including 5,000 gallons. Usage above 5,000 gallons is calculated based on current approved rates (which are posted at: http://www.kinggeorge.va.us/county-offices/serviceauthority/service-authority.php.)
Mr. Ron Bell, KGCSA staff maintenance technician, reads every meter in the county during a three week period, every other month. He typically reads about 300 meters per day, primarily by direct read, touch pad, or radio frequency transmission. Only about 20 of the state-of-the-art ultrasonic meters have been installed to date, but all new installations will incorporate them, and they will gradually begin to replace older meters as they are taken out of service. As a final point, please note that water meters are the property of the KGSCA, and removing or tampering with them can result in a tampering fee being assessed. In addition, homeowners and business owners should be aware that they are responsible for the water service line that runs from the water meter box to the building, as well as all water lines within the building. If you should see sunken, wet, or mushy areas at or near the incoming service line, it could indicate a leak or
break in the line. If you suspect a problem with the service line, you should call Customer Service at 540-775-1657; Repairs & Maintenance at 540-7752746; or for emergencies after hours and on holidays at 540-775-2049. You can find up-to-date information provided by Chris Werle by following his facebook page. Christopher P. Werle, King George This letter is also published as the “Service Authority Customer’s Corner.” The writer is a member of the KGCSA Board of Directors MUCH IS HAPPENING IN OUR COUNTY There has been much accomplished by the current Board of Supervisors and County staff since the beginning of the year and much more is in the works. The new water and sewer lines are being run out to the Route 3 and 301 intersection and with that those along

the route will be afforded the opportunity to become customers of the Service Authority by connecting during construction at a discounted rate. Tractor Supply has broken ground there at the intersection and hopes to be open by the end of the year. With new members appointed to the Economic Development Authority, they are taking on a larger role with regards to spawning more interest in our county which includes the undertaking of a Complete Streets project for our courthouse area. The Supervisors have sent a number of items to the Planning Commissions for consideration. Changes have now been made to ordinances to allow for bee keeping in additional areas of the county.
Another change is allowances for events to be held on properties of 20 acres or more with an event permit without requiring the need to installation of parking lots and stormwater facilties. The Planning Commission is currently considering changes to allow for mixed use developments in certain areas and permitting a crematory in conjunction with a funeral home or cemetary. If you have suggestions for changes to our ordinances that you would like considered, please notify your Supervisor.

OUTDOORS

Outdoor report Mark and Missy Fike Due to the intense rain and flooding of local waters, there is no fishing report this week. Fishing reports will resume next week. However, we have a few reminders for hunters. Important Outdoor Reminders Archery season for turkey and deer began this past Saturday. There are a few things that should be carefully considered by hunters and landowners regarding hunting. Sunday Hunting Sunday hunting may only be done on private lands. Here is what is on the VDGIF website regarding this matter: “Allows a landowner and his family or a person with written permission from the landowner to hunt or kill any wild bird or
wild animal, including nuisance species, on the landowner’s property on Sunday, except within 200 yards of a house of worship or any accessory structure thereof. “Landowner” refers to all private landowners (including persons and entities). Public lands are not included. It also allows for waterfowl (ducks, coot, geese, brant and swans) hunting on Sundays subject to restrictions imposed by the Director of the Department and except within 200 yards of a house of worship or any accessory structure thereof. Continues to allow raccoon hunting until 2 a.m. Sunday mornings.” Anyone hunting on Sunday under the above restrictions MUST have permission from the landowner that specifically states that they may hunt on SUNDAY on that land. If you don’t have a permission slip
that states you may hunt on SUNDAY, you are in violation of the law. Dog hunting and trespassing King George, like many localities, is becoming more and more fragmented. This is making it tough to find a place to hunt. Dog hunting for deer, in particular, has become almost a thing of the past due to lack of large blocks of land to use hounds. Over the past few years there has been quite a bit of frustration by landowners about a few bad apples that have unethically dropped dogs on adjoining lands or even on POSTED land to run the deer off so that some so called hunters could hopefully get a shot. Accusations have flown back and forth about the matter and unfortunately a good solution may be unobtainable as there simply is not enough land to run hounds after deer in our area
W&LHS celebrate Senior Night
without some sort of conflict inevitably arising. As a result, a piece of legislation was passed in 2016 that punishes as a Class 3 misdemeanor the intentional release by a person of hunting dogs on the lands of another to hunt without the consent of the landowner. The bill punishes a second or subsequent offense committed within three years as a Class 1 misdemeanor and provides for the revocation of the person's hunting license for a period of one year upon conviction. Full language of the bill and resulting law can be found at: http://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604. exe?161+sum+HB1329. Clubs or groups that “lease” a few acres next to a large block of land and are caught letting dogs go on that tiny parcel to “hunt” will likely face the consequences. Perhaps we should police ourselves so the public
does not get a bad impression of hunters. A camera to capture bad behavior is very helpful. Trespassing is another growing issue. POST your lands if you want to be able to put the pressure on those that are coming across the line onto your land. Many people are paying good money to have a lease to hunt. A POSTED sign that is clearly visible to a trespasser carries a heavier fine than simple trespassing. Perhaps some hidden trail cameras in areas where trespassing is a problem might be good evidence in court. Also, our local Conservation Police Officer has a four legged partner that is an excellent tracker and back tracker. Let’s work together to make this season a good one and a safe one!

Colonial Beach notches third victory in driving rain Richard Leggitt
Playing in a driving rain at Charles City, the Colonial Beach Drifters managed 201 yards in total offense to notch a 20 to 14 victory Friday. The Drifters of Coach Jeremy Jack are now 3-2 for the season. "I was extremely proud of our effort tonight; the team gelled and winning in tonight's downpour is definitely a highlight of my career," Jack said. "I was proud of our effort to step up and make plays when we needed them most. To win in the rainy conditions took great resolve and focus." "Lamar Lucas, Alonzo Turner and AnaJai Turner all made huge plays offensively for us tonight. On defense, Jeremiah Gibson was frequently in the Charles City backfield," Jack said. Lucas, a senior running back, had a touchdown in the third quarter and a two-point conversion run
in the second quarter; Turner, the team's senior quarterback, had a second quarter touchdown pass, a pass for a two-point conversion and 31 yards rushing; and Lewis, a junior running back, had a fourth quarter score on the ground. Cole Setliff, a sophomore linebacker who also played well on offense, and Gibson, a junior defensive tackle, were part of a strong defensive effort that kept Charles City in check all night, hold them to less than. 20 yards total. Charles City did have a 78-yard kickoff return in the first quarter. "We will host Rappahannock Thursday at 7 p.m.," Jack noted. "This is a change from original schedule. The game was moved to accommodate Colonial Beach's Bikefest activities." Following the home game against the Rappahannock Raiders, Colonial Beach is at always tough Essex on Oct. 14.
One football game played in the driving rain Friday was Colonial Beach at Charles City. Here Drifters quarterback Alonzo Turner is ready to connect on a touchdown pass to receiver Tejahn Whiting. Colonial Beach won in the downpour 20 to 14.

Weather proves to be biggest opponent of KG X-Country Coach Paul Koepfinger Typically the other teams prove to be the challenge to a team; however, the weather has become the greatest opponent of the King George high school cross country team, beginning with the intense heat of August and continuing with the multiple days of rain in September. “With the school year starting a couple of weeks earlier this year, if forced us to move from our normal morning practices in August to midafternoon practices in the peak of the heat”, coach Paul Koepfinger said. In August, the team typically would practice in the early morning before the temperatures rose above 80; but once school started, practice moved to the afternoon and the temperatures could reach as much as 106 with the heat index. “We had to adapt and changed our plans”, said Koepfinger. The team began to have workouts indoors on the hot days, limiting the amount of distance they could run. “This put us behind on our mileage, but we added a good deal of Crossfittype conditioning to help us build the muscle structure, strength and en-
durance that we could not get from being outside” Once the racing season began, things didn’t change for the Foxes. The Foxe’s first meet at the Chancellor Invitational was threatened by possible storms, and had some very high humidity. The men’s team finished 11th of 19 schools, while the women were 10th of 23 teams, with Aubrey Wingeart leading the team with a 7th place finish overall at 20:24. “It was clear that we did not have the endurance we wanted to have coming in to the meet; and then humidity just made it that much more difficult. But we finished about where we expected to and raced tough against some 5A and 6A teams”, said Koepfinger A week later the Foxes traveled to the FUMA Invitational where the temperatures exceeded 103 degrees. The men’s team was 17th of 23 teams and the Lady Foxes finished ninth of 19 schools. The race even featured a middle school race that enabled the Foxes to bring several of their eighthgraders, where Alex Dachos was fifth overall. “This was a difficult race because the temperatures rose quickly and the race management began to

shorten some of the races; at times right in the middle of the race. It’s hard enough to run in heat like that, but to change the course during the race is a huge mental challenge. Our athletes handled it well though, and we are very proud of Alex’s accomplishment.” said Koepfinger. In mid-September the team traveled to Spotsylvania for a dual meet.
As they exited the bus there was a steady rainfall. The course was a modified course because of construction at the school so it ended up being longer than a usual course, and very muddy. At times there were spots where a runner’s foot would sink into the ground. The women’s team won easily, nearly posting a shutout, but the men fell short in a close race, losing 23-33. Since then, the Foxes have had their next two races canceled because of the recent rainstorms the past week; one at home versus Caroline and the other an Invitational. Coach Koepfinger stated “we have been here before; last season we had races at this time of year canceled because of a tropical storm. This is nothing new for us.” However the coach was a bit disappointed. “We were really looking forward to these races to see how we had progressed. We know that we have trained very well the past few weeks and were excited to resume racing.” The Foxes next races are at home against Courtland and Massaponax on Oct. 5 at 5 p.m. and then travel to The Albemarle Invitational on Oct. 8.

Almost 1,000 Westmoreland County Public Schools’ students were treated to a performance by nationally known illusionist and youth speaker, Bryan Drake last week. Visiting Washington & Lee High School, Montross Middle School, Cople Elementary School and Washington District Elementary School, Mr. Drake spoke on topics such as Risky Behavior, Bullying, Right Choices, and Respect. In addition to his message, Mr. Drake dazzled his young audiences with card tricks, a floating table, student participation in a cell phone “trick” and other “mind” games. The students were enraptured by his presence and his magical work. Mr. Drake is from Mobile, Alabama. His wife, Karla, joins him on many of his performances and she and their baby daughter were present at Washington & Lee High School. Mr. Drake’s performance was made possible through the generosity of Oak Grove Baptist Church. Their pastor, Randall Snipes, offered the programs to WMLCPS schools as part of the church’s youth outreach division. Westmoreland County Public Schools is proud to have Oak Grove Baptist Church as an educational partner to our school district.
