You know, we honor
[11:18]

[11:25]
They've given back.
[11:27]
To today and an excellent opportunity do that.
[11:33]
Bill Samaras
[11:35]
and gave me, but it's this whole career.
[11:38]
Just about the Lowell high school.
[11:46]
On in his city, just an involvement.
[11:49]
There and what he's left.
[11:52]
Behind there.
[11:55]
And wonder was time for him to, to ride it
[11:58]
off into the sunset.
[12:01]
With a
[12:03]
very well.
[12:05]
Job. Well done.
[12:08]
He decided he was gonna run for city kill council.
[12:14]
Excellent job during his terms as city council and was.
[12:19]
Mayor for a term.
[12:23]
And provided a great leadership.
[12:26]
To the acidity.
[12:28]
Facility. So naming the
[12:33]
a student Senator.
[12:35]
After bill.
[12:38]
Is certainly a fitting tribute.
[12:43]
Spoke to the city council about the.
[12:49]
Previously
[12:51]
but
[12:53]
for ed Kennedy.
[12:56]
Meaning that
[12:58]
with Senator early served.
[13:00]
Came here 1978 and the city.
[13:05]
Council. I mean, that's a life lifetime ago.
[13:11]
This is a middle six county commissioner.
[13:15]
Like 90.
[13:17]
Two, when you look at middle of six count only
[13:20]
1.6 million.
[13:23]
People that's like a huge.
[13:25]
Huge election. It's a
[13:28]
largest county in all of new England and.
[13:32]
One on the top counties, all of the United.
[13:37]
States and to get elected.
[13:39]
From this side of the county.
[13:42]
R D was quite at a Testment to adds.
[13:52]
Couple, well,
[13:56]
came back.
[13:57]
After years of
[14:00]
being out of public light.
[14:04]
Ron vicinity council serve.
[14:07]
For four terms.
[14:09]
In one term manifest to the mayor.
[14:12]
And then
[14:18]
Eileen left.
[14:20]
And we were blessed to have him there.
[14:26]
During that time, a city counselor in mayor.
[14:31]
And in especially state Senator.
[14:34]
He was the champion.
[14:39]
For law high school.
[14:42]
Especially downtown. I mean, when you get into the states
[14:45]
and he was.
[14:48]
You know, sometimes funding can be.
[14:53]
Little iffy things come up.
[14:58]
Be getting everything you thought you were getting.
[15:02]
But ed was there at the magic.
[15:06]
Sure. There are hundreds of millions of dollars.
[15:10]
Are low.
[15:13]
Was supposed to get
[15:17]
they didn't get
[15:19]
and
[15:22]
he's you know, when you look at that new law
[15:25]
high school.
[15:28]
You think
[15:30]
about him because he was a.
[15:32]
Big part, he was not out of vociferous.
[15:37]
Politician.
[15:41]
He spoke.
[15:45]
With
[15:47]
wide words and an ex from an experienced.
[15:53]
That not enough.
[15:56]
Had, you know, dating back in 19.
[16:00]
78. So when he spoke.
[16:03]
He was well assistant to.
[16:06]
And that that was important.
[16:09]
He didn't seek, seek headline. What, what he saw.
[16:13]
Was a job. Well, all done.
[16:16]
And he didn't do that.
[16:20]
Came to the highest school.
[16:26]
So I, it's only fitting that we name.
[16:29]
The name, the act.
[16:34]
After Edward Buchanan.
[16:37]
Junior of a fine little, well, lady in him.
[16:42]
I believe you view of this at is like a.
[16:46]
Great big.
[16:49]
Beautiful tray.
[16:52]
You know, was many branches.
[16:55]
Branches leaves of
[17:00]
all the different colors.
[17:02]
Colors sizes.
[17:04]
And shapes.
[17:07]
It's strength and advice. Tell comes from former roots.
[17:13]
And in the nose roots to the contributions of lows.
[17:19]
All over the last two, 100 years.
[17:23]
And in settlement of those caught contributions have been significant.
[17:28]
And we remember them.
[17:31]
Like Lucy park.
[17:34]
From the days the mills.
[17:37]
Mills or
[17:41]
the Butler school from a Benjamin and Butler.
[17:46]
During the civil war.
[17:49]
And so many others.
[17:52]
You know, but it's
[17:55]
it's our remembering that, that waters, that tree.
[18:01]
So they continue to flourish.
[18:05]
And it's important for us and.
[18:09]
Archive.
[18:11]
To remember that the people.
[18:16]
Our time that had made these.
[18:19]
Significant contributions.
[18:22]
So today can be added.
[18:25]
To the goal that root.
[18:28]
System. So that is true.
[18:31]
Tree that that is this acidity of Lalo.
[18:34]
will remained.
[18:37]
A tree that I can flourish.
[18:41]
And then live.
[18:45]
Stand for the test of the time.
[18:47]
Over the next 200 years.
[18:50]

[36:28]
two amazing.
[36:30]
Public like servants who
[36:33]
give everything to our facility.
[36:36]
Acidity. I think they get the same time.
[36:39]
Though it's a sad
[36:42]
day, because we can't
[36:44]
can't actually say it to Senator the Kennedy.
[36:48]
Thank you.
[36:51]
But new to think about Senator.
[36:54]
The Kennedy, he never really.
[36:56]
Did anything for thank you.
[36:59]
It was, it was never about.
[37:02]
The thank you. You. So I guess it's.
[37:05]
It's fitting both.
[37:09]
Mr. And the can
[37:14]
who are acidity, they cared about low high school.
[37:20]
They cared about the education system.
[37:24]
And they were Todd everything they could and it wasn't
[37:30]
just low.
[37:32]
Little high school. When you think a greater little.
[37:37]
Tech. I remember, I remember when we were trying to
[37:40]
get.
[37:41]
A football field.
[37:43]
Done and
[37:47]
we had no money to do it.
[37:50]
And I cut out.
[37:55]
Is there any way you can help.
[37:58]
We have a lot of kids.
[38:01]
It's here could really use, is this football?
[38:05]
Failure the phone said
[38:10]
it said, let me get back to you.
[38:13]
Was the only one of the reps that got back
[38:17]
to us.
[38:19]
And he delivered the
[38:22]
millions is a doll is have.
[38:27]
The same thing that everybody else.
[38:31]
He never once.
[38:36]
Promoted it
[38:38]
was like,
[38:39]
Nope, big deal. Let's
[38:43]
let's move on. And I think that.
[38:47]
That's the important
[38:49]
piece of all of us and.
[38:52]
Public serve is
[38:54]
it's more about the outcomes than it is about the
[38:59]
division on the along and the way.
[39:02]
Even in the know you will divide people.
[39:06]
Along on the way, if you believe in something and.
[39:09]
And then that attitude, Senator.
[39:11]
Kennedy was
[39:14]
and I'm just a sad that he isn't inherited to
[39:17]
say.
[39:19]
Thank you. But
[39:22]
and
[39:24]
Ms is the same person. You know, you see someone
[39:29]
who comes out at every day.
[39:33]
And gives up.
[39:35]
Quality time.
[39:38]
To make our facility a better.
[39:40]
Place and today as we look.
[39:45]
To take these votes. It truly is an honor.
[39:50]
To be able to vote for two.
[39:54]
Special people that we've had in the city.
[39:58]
Acidity and how we are to have them here.
[40:03]
So I'm with that.

But they were both.
[41:08]
Gracious and committed.
[41:13]

[1:27:18]
Prevention here.
[1:27:21]
Mediation.

[1:27:31]
Aligning with MCC.

So to
[1:27:53]
minister believe.
[1:27:55]
That one provided
[1:27:58]
provided for by grant.
[1:28:00]
And
[1:28:03]
pure media radiation.
[1:28:06]
Is is something that
[1:28:09]
requires considerable amount of
[1:28:12]
expertise and the expertise exists at middle first community college
[1:28:18]
is very co.
[1:28:20]
Convenient unit.
[1:28:23]
Opportunity for us to provide the service for students.
[1:28:29]
Students were the paying
[1:28:32]
for the correct.
[1:28:50]
Turn to the next
[1:28:52]
page, it says lighthouse.
[1:28:56]
Wellness and health education.
[1:29:00]

art teachers.
[1:30:22]

[1:30:25]
Teachers and PHY teachers.
[1:30:28]
Teachers. So this

Dollars. This is all sort of from.
[1:30:41]
An outside.
[1:30:43]
Sourced the bar foundation.
[1:30:50]

[1:30:52]
you know, we get we weak. And I think it's
[1:30:56]
important that we.
[1:30:58]
Request in these things because.

My fellow colleagues.

In regards to the pay schedule.
[2:04:15]
And on the lack of the payment that is happen
[2:04:20]
September 3rd.
[2:04:22]
Or unfortunately,
[2:04:26]
there's a long.
[2:04:28]
History.
[2:04:30]
Of non-transparent
[2:04:33]
and city between the acidity officials.
[2:04:37]
And it's teachers.
[2:04:40]
Teachers concern concerning our pay sketch schedules.
[2:04:43]
Schedules. This is the man manufactured.
[2:04:50]
Crisis.
[2:04:52]
Built on the backs of an competent.
[2:04:59]
Governance.
[2:05:02]
As a former
[2:05:05]
single mother.
[2:05:07]
I've experienced many hardships.
[2:05:12]
And regardless to finding actual stability.
[2:05:17]
And, and for time
[2:05:19]
I was living.
[2:05:22]
Paycheck to paycheck.
[2:05:27]
And working
[2:05:29]
not one.

But two
[2:05:35]
extra jobs.
[2:05:37]
To make begins, meet.
[2:05:43]
I can
[2:05:45]
can't imagine.
[2:05:47]
Being told that I wasn't going to be able to
[2:05:51]
pay my bills at the beginning of September.
[2:05:58]
But the fact teachers have to.
[2:06:02]
Endure. This is
[2:06:04]
fathom most
[2:06:11]
teachers select the 26.
[2:06:14]
Week paid periods so that we will not.
[2:06:19]
Necessarily picture during the summer.
[2:06:24]
What is happening to us?
[2:06:27]
This year is an unconscious.
[2:06:32]
Not receiving a check on instead November.
[2:06:35]
September 3rd is going to cause.
[2:06:39]
Much financial.
[2:06:42]
Strain for teachers you're putting.
[2:06:46]
You're putting teachers in the position.
[2:06:49]
Of incurring.
[2:06:51]
Debt.
[2:06:54]
Did pay for, for every day.
[2:06:58]
Necessities.
[2:07:01]
Food houses.
[2:07:07]
Childcare clothing.
[2:07:10]
Car payments.
[2:07:14]
And other
[2:07:16]
experiences is, are.
[2:07:19]
Hard enough for families.
[2:07:22]
As it is.
[2:07:26]
We can't
[2:07:28]
can't go to our creditors or something today.
[2:07:31]
Hey, you've waited a bit.

You can't get a
[2:07:38]
yet teachers who live
[2:07:44]
paychecked paycheck or even
[2:07:47]
more strained.
[2:07:51]
And I know
[2:07:53]
many of them.
[2:08:05]
At this
[2:08:07]
exact moment.
[2:08:11]
Like, like
[2:08:13]
that is tap and.
[2:08:15]
Last year or something like that.
[2:08:24]

[2:08:29]
Wouldn't know how to get it by.
[2:08:31]
I did have to borrow money.
[2:08:35]
It's the only way I would be able to.
[2:08:38]
