sitting in the front row
of those classes,

:29:02
and wearing a tie on game day.
:29:05
I see. Mr. Carter,
:29:07
does the lockout include
practices and games?

:29:10
And do you have
a set period of time?

:29:12
There will be no basketball, ma'am.
:29:16
Please. Quiet, please.
:29:19
That includes practices and games,
:29:21
until we as a team
reach the agreed-upon GPA.

:29:24
Please, quiet.
:29:26
Please, quiet.
:29:29
Quiet.
:29:31
Thank you, Mr. Carter.
:29:32
In the interest of time, I'd like to open
this board meeting up for comments.

:29:36
As a teacher, I was offended
when asked by a coach

:29:39
to provide progress reports.
:29:41
Nowhere in my contract does it say
that I have to do so.

:29:44
It creates more work.
:29:46
This lockout has brought
negative media attention

:29:49
that questions our abilities
as educators.

:29:51
End this madness. End this lockout.
:29:57
I'm Jason Lyle's uncle.
:29:59
That boy lives to play ball.
:30:01
Comes to school every day now.
:30:03
You take away basketball,
:30:05
God knows what he'd be into.
:30:08
Yesterday, he canceled
the Fremont game.

:30:12
Now, that's the biggest game
of the year.

:30:14
I have scouts coming
to watch my boy play.

:30:16
- Me too.
- These boys are 16-0.

:30:20
This whole school, this whole
community, is behind this team.

:30:26
Everybody goes to every game.
:30:28
Basketball is the only thing
that these boys have got.

:30:31
Are we gonna let Carter come in here
and take that away from them?

:30:34
- No!
- I don't think so.

:30:37
Not gonna happen.
:30:45
- I'd like to make a motion.
- Yes, Mr. Walters?

:30:48
I move that we remove Mr. Carter
as head basketball coach.

:30:56
Order, please. Order.
