I know what you did.

Sent Wes, LeSean, and them
to give Taylor a beat down.

I never told them
to do anything.

That's why he came back
with the gun.

[ Gunshot ]

Becca sold drugs
to the kid who shot Wes.

Who do we call?
We're not calling anybody.

We can't hide this.

They want my resignation?

When a tragedy
like this happens,

of course there's gonna be
a transition.

If you tell me to,

there are things that I could
find out about that school.

My son's not crazy.
He's not a killer.

H-He was -- He was pushed
to do something.

I need people
to understand that.

Taylor: Tell my mom
it's over.

She should move on.

Esposito: She's not gonna do
that, you know?

She'll listen to you.

But why would I deliver
that message?

She needs to hear it
from somebody.

My whole life's been nothing
but a problem for her.

She would be way better off
if I'd never been born.

That's self-pity.
No, that's how it is.

Every extra thing
she's had to do for me,

to give up
because of me...

Having things wouldn't have made
her life better.

All I'm doing --
I'm taking responsibility.

You can't take responsibility
for your mother's choices.

I'm taking it
for my own.

For stealing the gun?
Yeah.

For shooting the boy?

Responsibility and guilty
are closely linked here.

Do you feel guilty
about this incident?

What I feel...

Do you feel guilty
about anything else?

You know how, um...

my mom gave me up once?

I know why she did,

but I, um,
never really got it.

Now I do.

It's hard,
but if you care about someone,

you don't want
to drag them down with you.

You got to --
You got to let go.

How are you going
to do this?

Just tell her I get it.

Anne:
What did he say?

He says he gets it.

[ Sighs ]

He's giving up.

He's trying
to be brave.

That's not brave.

Not talking to me,
not talking to a lawyer --

That's just gonna put him
in jail.

Taylor's not a shooter.

Taylor's not just
a shooter.

People need to know that.

[ Keyboard keys clacking ]

[ Computer beeps ]

Mia:
We're hungry, Daddy.

We're gonna get some pizza.

Just give me
one minute, hon, all right?

What are you doing?

[ Sighs ] I told you
I was helping people.

Daddy's helping.

What is it?

Here.
Come here.

See that?

That's --
That's justice.

[ Computer chiming ]

Michael:
Want something to eat?

No.

You got time.

I'm good.

I'm good.

[ Door opens ]

They reopened that school
too soon.

[ Door closes ]

Michael: Just got to get
back to normal.

That's all.

They're kids.

They had a classmate
that was killed on campus.

Doing algebra doesn't
make things "normal."

[ Refrigerator door opens ]

I don't feel well.

I'm not going
to school today.

Oh, yes, you are.

But I don't feel well.

You're going to school.
Now, get dressed.

We're leaving
in five minutes.

Go.

You know, you don't even know
if she's sick.

She's not.

You're just making her go
to school.

Look, we're living
our lives.

We just -- We got -- We got
to go about our business.

[ Drawer opens, closes,
silverware clatters ]

You're torturing her.

What do you think
jail is?

Hey, look,
I know you feel guilty.

[ Sighs ]

[ Silverware clatters ]
I know --

I know you don't know
what's the right thing to do.

What's the alternative? That's what we
got to think about -- the alternative.

And we got to show Becca

that we're working together
to protect her.

Now, I'm gonna take her
to school,

and I'll check in on her
all day.

Come on, Becca!
Let's go!

[ Toaster clicks ]

[ Ringing ]

Sebastian: Hello?

Anne: Sebastian.
It's Anne.

Thank you.

Yeah, you're welcome.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone beeps ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Kevin: Hey,
something's not right.

All right,
something happened.

I'm hearing you, Wes,
and a bunch of others,

uh, jumped Taylor.

LeSean: Who's saying stuff?
It doesn't matter who.

Did you beat him up?

Did you beat him up?

Yeah.

Are you for real, man?
That's --

That's why he came back?

Wes is dead because
you went at Taylor.

You realize that.

Dude, we did
what you told us to.

What I told --
I never told you a --

I never told you a thing. What
are you -- You sat there talking

about how bitches need
to act correct

and how bitches
can get handled.

So, yeah.
We handled it for you.

[ Scoffs ]

I mean -- I mean --
I mean, the boy was crazy.

He had something
against this whole team

since way back when,
so he was gonna get a gun,

and he was gonna do what he was
gonna do no matter what.

Wes is dead.

Man, look.
Look!

He's gone, man.

He's dead.
He's not coming back, man.

That don't mean nothing
to you?

Man, we did it for you.

For you.

For me?

So you just need to chill,
all right?

Leave it alone.

For me.

Just for me, hmm?

I shouldn't care
as much as I do.

I know that,
but I can't...not care

even when I know
it doesn't make any sense.

Sometimes, giving yourself
a new start

in the wake of a trauma
is the smartest thing to do.

There is a difference
between walking away

and getting shoved aside.

I was in a system
that made the mistakes,

but the board wants to put
those mistakes on me.

They want me to...

sink with them
to the bottom of a river.

I tried to do good things
with my position,

and for them to use that

as an excuse
to get rid of me, I...

Giving in is just admitting
they're right.

I'm a lawyer.

I can only give you
legal advice.

That's what I'm asking.
I'm asking legal advice.

Have you spoken to anyone
since the shooting?

About what?

About the shooting.

About how you might be feeling
under the circumstances.

How I feel is like
I'm being scapegoated,

and what I'm asking is your help
in doing something about it.

Look, if that boy had shot me,
what would I have died for?

If it was something
of merit,

then I need to make sure
that something survives.

This is...

[ Scoffs ]
This is me dealing.

My advice, legal or otherwise --
[ Sighs ]

Settle for a good exit package
and move on with your life.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Monica

¿El muchacho te tocó?
EVY: Sí.

¿El Señor Dixon sobre lo
que pasó?

[ Sighs ]

No.

¿Por qué no le dijiste
a alguien?

Vi lo que le pasó
a mi amigo.

A nadie le importo,
y las cosas empeoraron,

así que...

Yo no iba a decir nada.

All right, let's take two.
Two out! Two out!

Come on! Come on!

Go!

Let's go. Come on, D.
[ Whistle blows ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

There you go.
Right, right, right, right.

There you go. Quit fouling me.
Quit pushing in.

Quit fouling me!
All right, shake it off.

You can't guard me without fouling me!
Shake it off. Shake it off.

I want to see some passing, now.
Come on, find your teammate.

[ Whistle blows ] Give me
the -- Give me the ball.

Let's go. Pass it now.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

-And one.
-Do the play.

-And one!
-Do the play.

-And one!
-You can't do the play.

Switch out. Switch out.
Switch out.

Stop, all right? Enough.
Shake it off. Let's go.

Off, off! Come on.
Let's circle the wagon.

Circle the wagon.
Circle the wagon.

[ Whistle blows ]

Here we go.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Hey.

Hey, hey!

[ Groans ]

Get off me.
Get up off me, gay boy!

Hey, hey, hey. What'd you say?
You heard me!

Hey, hey, hey.
You can get this, too!

Kevin: It ain't your fight.
LeSean: I don't need this.

I don't need y'all.
To hell with y'all!

Come on, man.
We're all backing the same team.

[ Sighs ]
Dan: Eric!

Hey.
Where you going?

I'm out.

If you leave,
you're done.

You think I care?

Oh, come on.
LeSean was a dumbass.

Oh, I don't give
a...about him.

There's nothing here.

This team is a joke.

The...team is a joke.

This whole joint is just --
It's --

It's like a show
that rich people put on.

They can act how they want
and say what they want,

but it's not real.

[ Sighs ]
This isn't real to you?

You walk away, think you can
tell me none of this is real?

[ Sighs ] You -- [ Sighs ]

You -- You don't know
what it's costing me

to make this team work.

And you see me asking?

[ Sighs ]

This is my life
you're talking about.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Telephone chimes ]

Mike, it's Leslie.

O'Brien: Leslie,
we've got a problem.

Yeah.

It's serious.

The school servers
have been hacked.

They've been -- Documents
have been posted online.

What kind of documents?

E-mails, internal memos

relating to the whole
Taylor Blaine incident.

Where?
They're on a TOR server,

and it's already flying
around social media.

Have you called our I.T.
manager? I called you.

What's been posted
is pretty ugly.

It makes the school look -- Let's
not discuss this on the phone.

Let's meet face-to-face
right away.

[ Ringing ]

Jake: VonnerTech.
This is Jake Marston.

Jake, it's Leslie Graham
from The Leyland School.

I have just been told
we've been hit

with some kind
of cyber attack.

I need you to close
the firewall,

shut down the server,
and deny access system-wide.

I'm here.
It's done.

Review
the server access logs.

Find out which accounts
have been accessing the data.

Yeah, we're gonna scan
the servers.

We need to do
a full breach review.

Find out exactly
what was compromised

and let me know.

Jake, call me first.

What happened?

Hey.

W-What's going on?

A fight --
The basketball team,

they're fighting
each other.

[ Door closes ]
Something's going on,

and Dan's not doing
anything about it.

Or -- Or he won't
do anything.

Michael: Okay,
I'll take care of it.

No, don't.

Well, if it's a problem,
I will handle it.

Michael, we can't
just handle things anymore.

His friend is dead,

and acting like we can buy our
way into making that bet--

We just need
to talk to Kevin.

[ Sighs ]

We can talk to him
all day long.

We need to get him
to start talking to us.

[ Knock on door ]

Hey.
You got a minute?

I'm in the middle
of some things.

[ Sighs ]
I-I just need a minute.

Dr. Lewis says you're going to
make a statement at my review.

Yes.

Is there anything in particular
you're going to talk about?

That's for the board.

[ Sighs ]

Dr. Lewis keeps telling me
this review is, uh --

It's just standard.

They're just going to tick
some boxes, and that's that.

If that's
what she's telling you...

If -- If -- If there's any other
thing I'm being set up for,

I would really appreciate it
if you'd let me know.

I don't want
to be caught off-guard.

I mean,
I-I'm asking you.

Please.

What happened
in that fight

between Mateo
and the black student -- Tre?

[ Sighs ] Mateo got
a three-day suspension

for attacking Tre --
by the book.

And nothing for Tre?

Tre was the victim.

You wanted to do what was right
for the victim.

Yes.

You know, I do outreach
with Hispanic students.

One of the young girls I see
is Evy Dominguez.

She told me
Tre not only bullied her

and used racial slurs,

but also touched her --

aggressively.

That's sexual assault.

She didn't --
She didn't say anything to me.

Did you ever follow up
with her?

I've got
nearly 2,000 students, Monica.

I can't follow up
on every one of them.

Mateo told you
what happened.

He told you
Evy was being harassed.

He didn't tell me
about her being touched.

When you broke up the fight,
Mateo called Tre the "N" word.

Maybe after that, you didn't
want to hear anything else.

Look, I think
you're a good person,

I really do,
but you got it wrong,

and a lot of people
got hurt.

I think you need to go
into that review, admit fault,

and admit
to your own bias.

Say I'm a racist?
Say you made a mistake.

[ Scoffs ]
It's not true.

There is truth in it.

There is.

You can be rigid
and deny,

or you can bend a little
and keep your job.

If that lets you keep doing

the things that are important
to you, just bend, Chris.

I wasn't wrong.

I didn't know
what happened to Evy.

I can't solve a problem

if a student
won't say anything to me.

Well, she said something
to me.

What does that tell you?

[ Indistinct talking on TV ]

Mia, Mercy, Daddy's gonna
get you something to eat.

Daddy's gonna go
for a little bit.

[ Smooches ]

Leslie: The reality is,
the damage is done.

The school looks culpable
and complicit.

Well,
w-w-we'll fight this.

Fight it how?
The information's out there.

From here on in,
it's just water torture --

leak by leak.

The board looks
reprehensible.

You know, I-I-I look at all
this, and you -- [scoffs]

You have managed to keep
yourself out of the dirt.

This is a moment
for very difficult decisions.

You've been the school's

strongest supporter
and advocate.

For the school's sake,
one more time,

you're going
to have to be a leader.

Y-You want me
to -- to resign?

More than that --

Other members were implicated,
as well.

We need to dissolve
the entire board

and appoint a trustee
for an interim period.

For the sake of continuity,
I will stay on as headmaster.

W-W-Wait a minute,
though -- It's important

for the donors and
the families to know

that although changes are coming --
You were part of this at every step.

O'Brien: As you noted,
Dr. Graham comes across

as unsoiled
on the record.

Officially, she lobbied
for transparency

with the authorities,

counseling and assistance
for the alleged victim,

and inclusion
of an openly gay athlete

on his return
to school.

I've put together
a transition plan

which I've
already distributed

to the parents, donors...

and the press.

Retired Senator Robert Butler
has agreed to act as trustee

and fiduciary caretaker.

He's a respected alumnus,

and the hope is his presence
will calm everyone,

including law enforcement
and state athletic officials.

You must really be taking
some pleasure in this right now.

Change is here
because a student is dead.

You really think
that's pleasurable?

That's not what I meant. I
know, but the problem is

you and the board
consistently say stupid things.

I simply wasn't stupid.

Trina: They're okay
alone like that?

Sebastian:
Yeah, they're fine.

Yeah, it's easier
than finding a babysitter.

It's a little creepy.

Just a little bit.
[ Chuckles ]

Single dad making do.

I mean...you know?

I-It's all good.

Do you work
with computers?

Yeah, you ever have anybody say
stuff about you online --

nasty stuff?

People say stuff
all the time.

How does that
make you feel?

Makes you feel helpless?

When stuff like that happens,
I do something about it.

Like what?

[ Sighs ]

Everybody got things,
you know?

Stuff they just want
to keep hid,

except it's not hid.

It's -- It's
on their hard drive,

or it's in an e-mail
somewhere.

You hack people?

Isn't that
against the law?

Who's to decide that?

Used to be against the law
for blacks to vote.

Gay --
Gays couldn't get married.

Okay, that's --
that's not the same thing.

You have my information.

What are you gonna do,
hack me one day?

No.
You don't get it.

You got
all your information online.

You don't know
how vulnerable you are.

It's people like me --
We're the ones who protect you.

Anne: This information coming
out, it's good for us, right?

That relates to your son's
allegation on sexual assault.

It doesn't really have
any bearing on the shooting.

But they --
T-The school forced Taylor

into a bad emotional space.

They did nothing.

They did everything
to make us go away.

Taylor got a gun
and shot a boy.

I thought you said we needed
to change the narrative.

The facts are the facts.

The best we can hope for
is that he's charged

with involuntary
manslaughter,

that it's
an accidental killing.

And then we --

That's where we need help,
is in the sentencing phase.

If we can show mitigating
circumstances there --

state of mind
or emotional distress --

Taylor might get off lightly,
maybe a 10-year sentence,

and he'll serve half that.

Or he could be
institutionalized.

If we can't?

Then...

Just say it.

25, 30 years.

Anne: Sebastian, it's Anne.
I talked to my lawyer.

That stuff you put online,
i-it's not doing any good.

Now they know
what kind of school it is.

Doesn't help
with the shooting.

I need something else.
I-I need more things.

I need --
I need something else.

Okay.

I-It has to be more.

You understand?

There's gonna be more.
That --

That's just
how it starts.

Okay.

[ Cellphone beeps ]

[ Sighs ]

Dan:
The boys are spinning out.

They're lost and bitter,
and I can't help them.

Well, you've done more for them
than they deserve.

And...

I'm telling Eric
that, uh...

the school, the team,
they're my life.

My family is my life.

And I'm fighting
for every part of it.

And that kid, he --

he just stares at me
like he doesn't get it.

Like -- Like
what matters to me...

doesn't matter.

And, uh --
And, y-you know...

you see that
in somebody...

[ Clears throat ]
It's ugly.

It, uh...

[ Chuckles ]
It really hurts.

[ Knock on door ]

Anne.

I'm Steph Sullivan,
Dan Sullivan's wife.

Anne:
Where did you get these?

Steph: Oh, I take photos
for the school.

I-I just thought
you'd like them.

Why would I want these?

They're your son.

They're pictures.
I have a son.

He's in jail.

Your husband said some very
hurtful things about him.

I don't know what happened
the night of that party

with your son
and that other boy.

I know.

I don't.

But I know that...

kids have been hurt.

And it's got to stop.

You know that your son
was on drugs

at the time
of the shooting.

From what I understand,
Taylor still hasn't said

where he got
the drugs from.

Do you know?

My -- My husband doesn't know
that I'm here.

I just wanted
to talk to you, just...

just one mother
to another.

See, our daughter, she's --
she's just like your son.

At -- At heart,
she's such a good person.

Your -- Your daughter
gave him drugs?

She sold drugs to him.

Your daughter messed up
my son,

and you want what?

I want you
to talk to Taylor

and help me to keep her
from being arrested.

Why would I do that?

It wasn't her fault.

She got them from me.

So you're an addict?
Is that what this is?

It was just marijuana.

They're drugs.

You want to be responsible,
go to the police.

No, I'm trying
to protect my daughter,

and you understand that.

I know that you do.

Please leave.

No, I-I'll beg you.
Do you want me to beg?

Get out of my house.

If you force us to,
to protect Becca,

she'll testify
that she sold drugs to Taylor

the night of the party
and that he lied to the police

about being drugged
by one of the players.

That's not true.
I don't know what's true.

But I know
what I'll say.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Chris.

Chris: After much thought
and reflection,

I see that I was wrong.

I see that I could have handled
the situation

with Mateo Alvarez better,
sooner,

and with more sensitivity.

What I did not know
at the time

was that the altercation
was not instigated merely

because a male student was
flirting with a female student,

but because that male student
had...

had touched a female
in an inappropriate manner.

I believe
my judgment was influenced

by the fact
that I could not look past

a racial slur directed
by Mateo towards blacks.

Mateo's actions
were unwarranted,

but as an administrator,

it was my responsibility
to be more thorough.

I would like the board to know

that I understand
my mistakes and...

...and my biases

and will adjust my responses
in the future.

McCarthy: Thank you for
that statement, Principal Dixon.

We appreciate
your candor.

[ Sighs ]

We'd like to ask you --

How long was Taylor Blaine
in attendance at Marshall

before he shot another student
at The Leyland School?

I think --
[ Sighs ]

I-I'm not certain.
Um...

I can check my records, but
I think it was about a month.

During that period,
you were aware of his situation?

I-I was aware from his mother

that Taylor was involved
in the allegations of assault

at Leyland.

You knew that he was involved
in an assault.

You knew that he had mental-health issues.
I-I didn't know he had mental-health --

What was your follow-up?

I did not know that he had
mental-health issues.

His mother spoke to you.

You didn't get him
into regular counseling?

[ Scoffs ]
What counseling?

You all have cut my budget.

I have one counselor
for almost 2,000 students.

I can't get them all through
mental-health evaluations,

and even if I could,
we can't do regular follow-up.

Did you consider Taylor Blaine's
case extraordinary?

No.

I-I was concerned,

but at the time, as I said -- Leslie
Graham, the head of The Leyland School,

gave a statement
to the police

that you personally came
to visit her

regarding Taylor Blaine.
Yes, yes, I-I did.

2,000 students -- You
claim you don't have...

T-that's not a claim.

...the budget to follow up
on all of them,

and yet you personally
follow up on Taylor Blaine.

What made him special?

Was it the fact
that he's white?

[ Chuckles ]

His race didn't matter to me.

You just stood there
and admitted bias.

How are you going to say
race doesn't matter?

I really appreciate that you
were willing to be honest and --

Good. Okay.

I've got
your appreciation.

Look...

I-I'm not mad at you.

I'm just whipped.

I go in there
[chuckles] ready to crawl,

and they hit me up

over something that happened
at Leyland.

Nobody cares what blacks
and Hispanics do to each other

at a public school.
I care.

But you're on your way
out the door.

So what does that matter?

You're a smart man
at a school in transition.

You could have used
this situation.

"Used"?
For your agenda.

I didn't have one.

Funding for classes,
teachers, counseling --

You didn't want
any of that?

Everybody's got
an agenda.

Me getting pushed aside --
Was that part of your agenda?

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

Peter.

Peter: Hey.

I need you
to come get me.

Are you okay?

It's Mom.

She keeps talking about you
and talking about Dad --

how we're gonna go away
and things are gonna be better.

It's not better.

We don't have any more money.
She spent it all already.

I want to come home.

Why'd you take Peter?

I didn't take him.

He's my son.
He needed to be with me.

It just wasn't working.

He got scared of being
away from home,

scared of me.

I-I just got tired of it.

Bringing him back seemed like
the best thing.

You gave up.

Your father's got custody.

I wasn't supposed
to have Peter anyway.

You were supposed
to be here with us.

You gave up on that, too.

You don't know
how hard it is --

Having a gay son?

Having all the people at church
whispering about me?

Must be so hard.

This isn't
the life I wanted.

I didn't choose this.

But I...

I deal with it.

How do you deal with it?

I see how you act tough
all the time.

How you talk about women
so people won't think you're --

You did whatever you did
to that boy at that party.

Curt told me about those
random...dates you go on.

That how you deal
with your life?

So I got
all that from you.

I got an ex-husband
who's nearly broke.

I got no job.
I just wanted --

I just...

[ Voice breaking ]
I just wanted one of my kids.

I don't even have that.

I never wanted to --

That's not
what I'm talking about.

I don't care about that.

What happened
the night of the party?

You lied
about being gay.

You lied
about taking drugs,

and those texts
and e-mails.

I heard you took a settlement
from Leyland.

Y-Yeah, I did.

I took money for my mom
and for my dad.

You were protecting your family.
You don't have to defend it.

It's not even
about my parents.

It just got the point

where somebody comes along
and says...

"That boyfriend
who lies to you"...

[ Inhales deeply ]

..."That boyfriend
you keep covering up for"...

"That boyfriend
who treats you like..."

"All you got to do is step back
and get paid."

So, I got paid.

I'm taking care of me.

So, what really happened
that night?

If you need to know...

...he did it.

I lied a-about a lot,
but not that.

What's gonna happen
to you now?

I thought
you were done with me.

I know you don't care,

but I just went
through my own stuff.

Had nobody
who'd listen to me.

Couldn't dump it
on my parents.

But I found one person
who believed me.

Well...

I'm all out of people
who believe me.

That's the thing --

I believed in myself.

Mom, I know some things.

About?

I know why Wes got shot.

But I don't know
what to do, you know?

You tell me the truth.

That's what you do.

Tell the truth.

Kevin: It was LeSean
who told me.

So, I guess him, Wes,
and a couple of others,

they found Taylor Blaine
and they got physical with him.

Ken: They beat him?

Yeah.

Trying to teach him
to be correct, I guess.

Why did they feel they had
to teach him anything?

[ Inhales, exhales deeply ]

We were out after a game
one night, and I --

I just kind of went off on him,
you know, on how he's a bitch

and how somebody needed
to put him in his place,

but I never said
go beat anybody -- ever.

I just wasn't --

It's the truth.
I know it is.

And if it comes to it,
he'll testify to that.

Yeah.

I need to --
[ Sighs ]

I just have to figure out
the best way to handle this.

Michael: [ Scoffs ]
Yeah, c-can we get a minute?

I-I-I'll be out.

Yeah, just give us
a minute.

[ Clears throat ]

What do we do?

Ken: Could turn it over
for investigation.

But people's trust
on any of this, it's done.

Your son
implicates himself,

and nobody's gonna care
if he meant what he said

or if he was
just thinking out loud.

Kevin confessed.

He got it out.

Probably be good
if it ended with that.

[ Keyboard keys clacking ]

Sebastian: I know
there are people who think

the kind of stuff I do --
It's --

It's against the law.
It's -- It's criminal.

Yeah, technically.

But I'm a white hat --

hacking for justice.

What's your relationship
to Taylor Blaine?

I got no relationship.

I followed the case
in the media,

and I could see
that this kid

and his single mom
were getting railroaded.

That school needed to be called
on it and held accountable.

Know what I'm saying?

You see, that first round,
that was just a warning.

Now things are gonna
get serious.

Serious how?

Further devastation
for The Leyland School --

exposing individuals for
who they are and what they did.

Justice for Taylor Blaine.

I told my girls
I was gonna do great things,

and I'm gonna do them.

Yeah.

Pay attention.

You're gonna know me.

Financial
and legal repercussions

from the online breach
could be catastrophic.

They expose the school
to potential lawsuits

and jeopardize
not only the future

of the school's
capital campaign,

but actually threaten
the money we have in hand.

Unless we take
immediate action,

The Leyland School is in danger
of having to close its doors.

To mitigate the damages
and to show the wider community

that we understand the breadth
and depth of our missteps,

I advise this board
to vote to dissolve itself,

according to Section 4B,
Paragraph 7 of the Bylaws.

Upon dissolution,
the school will go

into receivership
under the care of a trustee

who will oversee
all financial matters

under my continuing guidance.

Do I hear a motion to dissolve

the Board of Directors
of The Leyland School

and adopt the Transition Plan
as outlined?

I so move.

Seconded.

All in favor,
raise your hand.

Against?

♪♪

This board is hereby dissolved.
