>> IT'S YOUR LIFE. I MOVE. >> WE APPROVED TONIGHT'S AGENDA OF SIR. MR. SMITH SECONDED THIS AUTHOR MR. SHARPE.

YES. GIVE ME A MINUTE. I JUST HAD TO.

I KNEW THERE ARE TWO WORDS MISSING FROM THE COMMITTEE REPORT ON THEIR FINANCE COMMITTEE. IT SHOULD READ RECOMMENDED MOTION TO MODIFY THE FORENSIC AUDIT SCOPE OF WORK BY FINANCE COMMITTEE. I MEAN WE AMEND THE AGENDA TO

INCLUDE THOSE TWO WORDS AND SO SAD TO SAY AS A MOTION PLEASE. >> AND ROBIN AS WELL I KNOW WE AMEND THE AGENDA TO INCLUDE THE TWO WORDS FORENSIC AUDIT. I'M THEIR FINANCE COMMITTEE SCOPE. SECOND. OH SO CAN YOU PUT IT IN THAT FOOT? IT IS NOT. WHAT'S PRINTED HERE ON YOUR SITE? RECOLLECT THOSE WORDS IT WAS WE CAN'T HEAR YOU.

>> YOU FADED OUT FOR THAT. WHERE EXACTLY DID IT GO? WE WAS HERE FOR SOME REASON IT SOUNDS MUFFLED TO GODLIKE LIKE YOU SITTING ON A MICROPHONE OR SOMETHING.

>> NO ONE WOULD LIKE TO MAYBE ON THAT WE CAN HEAR YOU ON IT IS YOUR COMPUTER ON THE VOLUME

ON SIGN. >> I MEAN I HAD A NEW MEETING. >> OH BOY.

>> OH MAYBE THERE'S THIS GIRLS . >> CAN YOU HEAR NOW?

>> YES, MA'AM. SO I'M ASKING THIS FOR A FACT. >> WHERE ARE THE WORDS FORENSIC AUDIT GO IN WHAT'S UNDER FINANCE COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW? THEY PRACTICE THE WORD SCOPE OKATIE. SO DID YOU GET THAT FROM THE MOTION TO AMEND THE AGENDA TO INCLUDE TWO WORDS FORENSIC AUDIT UNDERFINANCED COMMITTEES ?

>> IS THAT CORRECT? >> RAY? I MEAN THAT'S NOT VERY CLEAR.

>> HOW ABOUT THIS MOTION TO AMEND THE AGENDA UNDER FINANCE COMMITTEE AT THIS SCOPE WITH

FORENSIC AUDIT? >> SO IT'S FORENSIC AUDIT SCOPE OTHERWISE THE REST OF IT

REMAINS THE SAME. >> AND YOU'RE JUST ADDING THOSE TWO WORDS IF THAT'S HELPFUL.

WAIT, WAIT. WE DID IT ALMOST APPEARS AS IF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE IS

CHANGING ITS SCOPE BUT WE'RE NOT SO DID YOU GET IT? >> I THINK SO.

I WANTED TO. SO YES, YOU CAN SAY MOTION TO AMEND THE AGENDA UNDER FINANCE COMMITTEE TO ADD FORENSIC AUDIT PRIOR TO THE WORD SCOPE FORMER MOTION TO THE MEMBER AGENDA

[00:10:11]

EVERYTHING ELSE OUT. >> YES. GOOD.

MR. SMITH, YOU SECONDED CORRECT ? >> YES, MA'AM, I DID.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. MISS RESOURCES, LET ME LOWER MY

HAND HERE. >> DR. RODRIGUEZ. >> YES.

>> THANK YOU. I'M SORRY. I'M LOOKING AS I REVIEW THE AGENDA. UH, I COME TO MY ATTENTION AND I NOTICE THAT WE DO FOR THE CLOCK REPORT TODAY AND I THOUGHT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE IN THE AGENDA SETTING. IT MAY BE COMPLETELY MY FAULT IF IF IF IF IT WASN'T AND I KNOW THAT WE DO HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE HERE THE CHAIR FROM THE CLOCK COMMITTEE.

AND SO I'M WONDERING IF IF SOMEBODY ON THE BOARD WOULD BE INTERESTED IN MAKING A MOTION TO ADD IT AT THAT TIME AND IF NOT THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE AND THAT'S THAT THAT'LL BE MY FAULT POINT OF ORDER, MADAM CHAIR, ON THE PAPER WE JUST DIDN'T PUT IT ON BOARD.

>> THAT'S WHAT IT IS ON THE AGENDA THAT I'LL START. >> OKAY.

POINT OF ORDER, MADAM CHAIR. JUST A MINUTE PLEASE. SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A POINT OF ORDER. MADAM CHAIR, IF IT WAS SOMETHING BEYOND THAT IN THIS

COUNTRY I'M TALKING GO AHEAD, SIR. >> MR. DOLLAR, WE HAVE A MOTION

ON THE FLOOR. >> YES. COULD COULD WE ADDRESS THE

MOTION A LITTLE MORE BEFORE WE EXAMINE THE CROC CLOT? >> I DID, SIR.

I QUOTE THE CLOCK. WE HAVE THE MOTION NOW. WE'D LIKE TO VOTE NOW ON THIS.

THE BOARD'S WILL OK, SO THE MOTION IS TO AMEND THE AGENDA UNDER FINANCE COMMITTEE TO ADD

FLUORIDE PRIOR TO THE WORD SCOPE ISRAEL BY YES. >> I HAVE A DISCUSSION.

I'M JUST CURIOUS HOW ADDING THE WORDS FORENSIC AT ADDED TO THE SCOPE COMPORTS WITH OUR REQUIREMENT THAT WE GIVE NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC SPECIFICALLY ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT. YOU KNOW, IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WHEN THIS AGENDA FIRST CAME OUT THAT THAT WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION. I JUST I DON'T KNOW I KNOW BEFORE WE WE TRIED TO ADD WORDS AND YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN SAID THAT THAT'S NOT THE PUBLIC.

WE HAVEN'T GIVEN THE PUBLIC CORRECT NOTICE EXACTLY. WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.

AND I'M SO I'M JUST RAISING THAT QUESTION. >> SO ANSWER.

YEAH, I THINK KATHY ACTUALLY RAISES A VERY VALID POINT HERE. IF WE DON'T ADD THOSE TWO WORDS THEN THE ENTIRE ITEM IS NULL AND VOID BECAUSE WE WILL NOT BE ADDRESSING NOR HAS THE FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSED OUR COMMITTEE SCOPE. SO THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE I BELIEVE A SEPARATE MOTION. KATHY, WE OUGHT TO DISPOSE THIS ONE FIRST AND THEN PERHAPS A SEPARATE MOTION TO REMOVE THE ITEM ALTOGETHER BECAUSE REID THE FINANCE COMMITTEE HAS NO RECOMMENDATION REGARDING OUR COMMITTEE SCOPE. SO I THINK YOUR POINT IS VALID

. THANK YOU FOR RAISING IT. >> MR. DASCHLE WELL, I WAS JUST

GOING TO SAY THAT KANSAS RIGHT . >> NOBODY ELSE HAS THEIR HAND UP. THEY'RE BEING NO FURTHER DISCUSSION.

[00:15:01]

VOTING IS OPEN WIDE. >> NO, NO. THERE'S NO I'M LOVING EARL.

EARL SAID NO, NO, I'M KIDDING. OH NO. IT'S NOT COMING UP FOR YOU

AGAIN. >> NOW IS IN NAP GUEST AT NOW. WOULD YOU SAY NO, THE MOTION FAILS. ONE YES. NO I THOSE THE ONE YESES.

UNDERSTAND RICHARD AND MR. SMITH DID NOT CANCEL. >> SO ARE THERE ANY FURTHER DR.

ROBERT? >> I DO CARE. JUST A MINUTE.

>> I NEED TO SEE YOUR HANDS ON THE SCREEN. SO MR. SMITH, YOU'RE SAYING YOU VOTED ON THIS? YES, MA'AM. AND YOUR VOTE WAS NO.

OK. SO THE MOTION FAILED ONE TENTH THE ONE WAS MIXED FIGURES LIKE THIS OR. YES, MADAM CHAIR, I MOVE TO REMOVE FROM THE AGENDA UNDERFINANCED COMMITTEE MOTION TO MODIFY THE SCOPE OF WORK BY FINANCE COMMITTEE.

>> WE HAVE A SECOND CIRCUIT THE MOTION. OK, MR. OR SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION DISTORTION? YES, DISCUSSION. SO IT'S A BIT IT'S A BIT OF A QUANDARY BECAUSE THE. THIS IS AN ACTION THAT HAS COME OUT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE

THAT WE HAVE RECOMMENDED TO BRING FORWARD TO THE BOARD. >> AND BECAUSE OF THAT TYPO WE ARE UNABLE TO DO THAT THIS EVENING. SO I'M NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED THERE BUT PERHAPS WE CAN ADD AN ITEM TO THIS WEEK'S FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING WHICH MOVES

THIS DOWN THE ROAD FURTHER. >> MR. SCHMIDT WILLIAM, YOU'RE EATING.

>> I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT WE'RE MOVING THIS DOWN THE ROAD.

I WAS HOPING THAT WE COULD BE ABLE TO BRING THIS FORWARD AND TO GO AHEAD AND GETTING AN END IN THIS AND DISCUSS THIS ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CHAIR OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE THIS WILL BE IT WILL BE THERE WILL BE THE CHAIRS LAST MEETING HERE AND I'M SURE THAT I'M I BELIEVE THAT THE IN THE COMMITTEE HAS DONE SOME EXTENSIVE WORK ON ON THIS TOPIC.

SO I I'M JUST THAT I JUST CAN'T SUPPORT IT. I MEAN IF IT WAS I MEAN IT WAS A TYPE. I THINK THAT THAT THAT IS SOME TYPE OF CLARITY.

I MEAN THERE'S SOME THERE'S SOME TYPE OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE WILL BE DISCUSSING AND WHAT WE WERE DISCUSSING. SO I'M JUST UNFORTUNATELY I'M I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SUPPORT THIS MOTION TONIGHT BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED TO DELAY IT ANYMORE.

THANK YOU, MR. DARLING. >> I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY CHOICE BUT TO SUPPORT THE

MOTION. >> THE LAW IS THE LAW. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE AGENDA. IT WASN'T THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO EXCEPT TO SCHEDULE THE NEXT AVAILABLE BOARD MEETING. MR. SENATE. ALL RIGHT.

THE MOTION IS VERY DIFFERENT. THE AGENDA UNDER FINANCE COMMITTEE TO MODIFY THE SCOPE OF WORK BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE. SO THERE'LL BE NO FURTHER ENDS

UP VOTING IS OPEN. YES. >> YES.

IGF AS MR. SMITH COUNTY THE MOTION CARRIES 10 0 1 TO 1 ABSTENTION.

[00:20:18]

>> MR. SMITH, DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER COOPER JOHN THE DR. RODRIGUEZ.

>> YES. SO MY APOLOGIES. I UM YOU KNOW, I DON'T I DIDN'T SEE THE THE CLOCK COMMITTEE ON HERE AND THEY'RE DUE FOR THEIR REPORT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING WE TALKED ABOUT. BUT IF BUT IF IT WASN'T.

THAT MISTAKE IS ON ME AND I APOLOGIZE FOR THAT. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S I DON'T KNOW IF IF SOMEBODY WAS WANTED TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA THEN I GUESS SOMEBODY WOULD HAVE TO MAKE A MOTION AND I GUESS YOU WOULD WE ALL WOULD VOTE.

I KNOW WE HAVE THE CHAIR OF THE CLOCK COMMITTEE HERE BECAUSE IT'S THE IT'S THE FINAL RECORD

OF THE YEAR FROM THEIR WORK. SO THAT'S ALL. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> SOMETHING WE GO BACK TO THE MR.. >> ALL THIS REQUIRED IS A TWO THIRDS VOTE OF NO EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES ARE REQUIRED BECAUSE THE BOARD WILL NOT BE

VOTING ON ANYTHING THAT IS FROM THE REPORT, MR. GUY. >> NOW I'M SURE I MOVE THAT WE HAD TO CLOCK IMPORT TO THE NITROGEN AND LET'S TAKE A SECOND IF YOU'D LIKE TO SUGGEST THE SPOT THE AGENDA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO WE CAN HAVE THE INDIVIDUAL WAITING REQUEST TO

GIVE IT TO US. >> I THINK THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WOULD BE TO PUT IT AFTER THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE BECAUSE I I'M ALSO MAKING AN ERROR OUT OF THE BOARD.

>> MADAM CHAIR. YES, I DIDN'T. ROB SAYING THAT IT WAS ON THE AGENDA THAT WAS POSTED THAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS BUT IT WAS A ACTUALLY.

>> YES, IT WAS NOT. NO, SIR. OK.

>> SO WE NEED A TWO THIRDS VOTE. >> BEEN PUTTING IT OPENS UP AND VOTING IS OPEN. YES. YES.

>> THE MOTION CARRIES 10. THE ONE NO IS DR. WISNIEWSKI. >> ALL RIGHT.

SO NOW WE'RE BACK TO APPROVING THE RESCUE. I BELIEVE THAT THE ORIGINAL

NOTION I THINK WAS CAPTURED. >> BUT THAT WHAT WE WANTED TO PREVENT GENDER WITH THE CHANGES . YES. YOU HAVE ALREADY GONE TO WAS

HAPPY AND WE HAVE MADE THE ORIGINAL MOTION. >> I'M SORRY.

WHO WAS KATHY AND WILLIAM SMITH MYSELF. >> SO DO YOU CAN YOU BRING THAT BACK UP AND MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA WITH THE CHANGES LIKE KATHY AND WILLIAM MOORE?

>> BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL MOTION . AND SECOND, SINCE THE TWO CHANGES HAVE PASSED, THE FOURTH OF BEING ADDED UNDER LEGISLATIVE UPDATE AND THE FIRST ARROWHEAD UNDER FINANCE COMMITTEE IS BEING REMOVED. IS THERE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION

MR. DASCHLE? >> I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR THEM.

>> OK, THERAPY NO HANDS UP. VOTING IS OPEN. YES, YES.

[00:25:05]

>> THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY ELEVEN 0 0 0 NOW. >> AND FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN

[Pledge of Allegiance, Moment of Silence, Statement of Media Notification]

THEIR FRIENDS, THE MEDIA HAS BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED. >> WE ARE NOW READY FOR THE

[Committee Report: Legislative Update – Lynn Stokes-Murray, Burr Forman & McNair]

>> GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. I HOPE YOU CAN SEE ME AND HEAR ME.

IS IT ALL GOING THROUGH OK? >> YES. AT LEAST FOR THIS RELATIVE.

OK. TERRIFIC. WELL, THANK AGAIN FOR ACCOMMODATING ME. I AM OUT OF THE COUNTRY AND I APPRECIATE ALL LETTING ME BE ON THE AGENDA AT THE BEGINNING. WHAT I THOUGHT I WOULD DO IS TALK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE ELECTION. TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE BUDGET AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT 20 21.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ALONG ALONG THE WAY IN THE ELECTION RESULTS.

AS YOU ALL KNOW, WE HAD SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

THE SENATE SAW THREE DEMOCRATS LOSE AND REPUBLICANS TAKE THEIR SEAT WHICH NOW PUTS US AT A 30 16, 30 REPUBLICANS, 16 DEMOCRAT IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE. THE HOUSE REMAINED BASICALLY TO SAYING THERE WERE A COUPLE OF CHANGES BUT THE NUMBERS ARE VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY WERE AND IN THE PAST 81 43. SO ALL THAT TO SAY SOLID REPUBLICAN MAJORITY IN THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. LAST WEEK THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE CONVENED AND ORGANIZED. AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THEY CHOSE THEIR SEATS ON THE FLOOR ,THE HOUSE THEY WERE ORGANIZED BY COMMITTEES WHICH I'M GOING TO TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT LATER IN MY PRESENTATION AND THEY WILL BEGAN PRE FILING TOMORROW ACTUALLY DECEMBER THE 9TH THE HOUSE AND THE WILL PROFILE ON THE NIGHT. THE SENATE WILL ALSO ACCEPT FREE FILES LEGISLATION ON THE NIGHT AND THEN THE HOUSE. I'M SORRY THE SENATE WILL ACCEPT PRE PROFILES ON THE 13TH. THE SENATE IS NOT GOING TO ORGANIZE UNTIL WE RECONVENE IN 20 21 AND SO I DON'T HAVE THE INFORMATION FOR YOU YET BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T MADE THOSE CHANGES TO COMMITTEES AND WHATNOT BUT THEY WILL BE SIGNIFICANT AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT. AND AS I TYPICALLY DO IS SEND A WEEKLY REPORT TO YOU ALL ON WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE SO THAT THE ELECTION IS BEHIND US.

WE NOW MOVE FORWARD TO THE GOVERNING PORTION OF OUR WORLD .

IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING YEAR WITH COVE STILL RAMPANT. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY INTENDS TO MEET THEY INTEND TO MEET LIKE WHEN WE MET LAST WEEK. UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS SOME EXPOSURES AND THERE WERE SEVERAL MEMBERS THAT WERE EXPOSED AND TESTED POSITIVE.

SO WE'RE REALLY NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW THINGS ARE GOING TO LOOK NEXT YEAR.

WHAT I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THERE ARE SOME PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE RULES IN THE HOUSE.

AND AGAIN, THE SENATE HAS NOT ORGANIZED YET SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SENATE WILL DO.

BUT I SUSPECT THEY'LL FOLLOW SUIT TO MEET VIRTUALLY LIKE YOU ARE DOING THIS EVENING AND ALLOWING VIRTUAL COMMITTEE MEETINGS WHICH WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO IN THE PAST.

WE'VE WE'VE DONE IT BECAUSE NO ONE CHALLENGED THE RULES BUT OUR RULES NEVER CONTEMPLATED THE PANDEMIC. SO WE WILL MAKE CHANGES. I SUSPECT WE'LL HAVE SOME SORT OF HYBRID ACTIVITY NEXT YEAR, SOME MEETING IN PERSON COMMITTEE MEETINGS VIRTUALLY AND THAT'S HOW WE'LL MOVE FORWARD AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC.

YOU ALL WILL REMEMBER THAT THE 19 20 BUDGET WAS NOT ADOPTED THAT WE PASSED A CONTINUING RESOLUTION THAT KEPT EVERYBODY AT THE SAME LEVEL THAT THEY WERE.

[00:30:03]

FORTUNATELY NONE OF THE STATE AGENCIES HAVE HAD TO TAKE AGENCY CUTS BUT I DON'T ANTICIPATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF NEW MONEY BASED ON THE BOARD OF ECONOMIC ADVISORS NUMBERS THAT THEY JUST RELEASED. SO IN THAT VEIN WE STILL HAVE ABOUT ABOUT A BILLION DOLLARS ONE TIME MONEY THAT THAT WE'LL EXPECT TO BE APPROPRIATED AS SUSPECT THAT MOST OF THAT MONEY WILL GO FOR FUNDING OF DEFERRED MAINTENANCE ONETIME CAPITAL PROJECTS AND CERTAINLY NOT ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED ON THE LINE AND A RECURRING BUDGET. THE V.A. HAS TOLD US THAT FOR THE 1920 BUDGET THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THIRTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS IN RECURRING MONEY. AND AGAIN, THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION IN WHAT WE ANTICIPATED 1920 TO LOOK LIKE THERE NUMBERS THEY'RE GIVING AND SHARING WITH US FOR TWENTY TWENTY ONE LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HAVE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN NEW RECURRING FUNDING FOR NEXT YEAR.

AND WE HAVE HEARD THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE SAY THAT THOSE DOLLARS WILL BE LARGELY DIRECTED TOWARDS TAKING CARE OF STATE WORKERS STATE EMPLOYEES, EDUCATORS AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING TO CONTINUE WITH THE COVERT TESTING ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE RELATED TO THE PANDEMIC THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL. SO I DON'T ANTICIPATE IN THIS NEW BUDGET THAT WE'LL FINISH WHEN WE COME BACK IN JANUARY WILL BE A LOT OF NEW MONEY ON THE LINE.

IT PROBABLY WILL LARGELY GO FOR COVERT FUNDING WHATEVER THAT MAY BE.

THE DEAC OR THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IN THE 20 21 BUDGET AS I MENTIONED.

WE'VE GOT ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS IN NEW RECURRING DOLLARS AND THE FOCUS AS HAS BEEN PUBLICLY STATED WILL BE FOR STATE EMPLOYEES AND HAZARD PAY AND ALSO FOR EDUCATORS AS WE MOVE FORWARD IN 2021. YOU WILL ALSO SAY AND I THINK ROBBINS GOT UP ON THE SCREEN SOME INFORMATION ON THE CARES ACT FUNDING WHEN WE CAME BACK IN SEPTEMBER OF THIS PAST YEAR WE APPROPRIATED THE BALANCE OF THAT MONEY.

YOU REMEMBER WE RECEIVED ABOUT TWO MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND WE APPROPRIATED A LOT OF THAT IN MAY BUT WE LEFT ABOUT SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS ON THE TABLE. YOU WILL SEE UNDER THIS CARES ACT FUNDING WHERE THOSE KEY ALLOCATION WENT WITH THE REMAINDER OF OF THAT SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT SIX HUNDRED AND SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS. YOU'LL ALSO RECALL THAT IN THE CARES ACT FUNDING THAT OVER 216 MILLION DOLLARS WAS APPROPRIATED DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR FUNDING THAT THEY NEEDED IN VARIOUS AND SUNDRY RESOURCES PARTICULARLY DEALING WITH BROADBAND. I DO ANTICIPATE THAT THE THIRTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS THAT WAS APPROPRIATED FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL FUNDING AS YOU ALL KNOW IT'S STILL BEING LITIGATED.

THE SUPREME COURT SAID BACK IN LATE SEPTEMBER EARLY OCTOBER THAT THAT FUNDING WAS NOT LEGITIMATE FUNDING AND THAT IS STILL BEING LITIGATED. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A FINAL WORD ON WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THAT MONEY. SO MOVING TO WHERE WE ARE AND WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT YEAR AS I SAID WILL RETURN ON JANUARY THE 12TH WE HAVE INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH IN WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE WHICH IS THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE.

WE HAVE THREE NEW MEMBERS AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE A STRONG REPRESENTATION FROM V FOR COUNTY ON THAT COMMITTEE WHICH IS WONDERFUL AND I ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL IMMEDIATELY JUMP INTO THE 1920 BUDGET APPROPRIATION AND THEN MOVE FORWARD WITH WHAT THE 2021 APPROPRIATION WILL LOOK LIKE. ADDITIONALLY ON THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE WHICH WAS ASSIGNED

[00:35:01]

YOU'LL RECALL THAT IN MY PREVIOUS UPDATE THAT THAT LEGISLATION DID NOT PASS LARGELY BECAUSE OF IT. IT PASSED THE SENATE UNDER SENATE BILL FOR 19.

IT PASSED THE HOUSE UNDER THE HOUSE BILL 37 59. BUT THEY NEVER COMBINED THE TWO BILLS AND WERE ABLE TO GET TO A CONFERENCE COMMITTEE AND DETERMINE A FINAL PRODUCT.

SO I ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL BE BACK TO THAT LEGISLATION WHEN WE RETURN.

AND CERTAINLY WE'VE GOT A TALL ORDER IN EDUCATING THESE NINE NEW MEMBERS OF EDUCATION.

>> SOME OF THEM WERE HERE AND SERVED ON OTHER COMMITTEES LAST YEAR.

AND MOVED OVER TO THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE SUMMER ME CASE BRITAIN IS NEW GUILD BATCHES NEW. TRAVIS MOORE IS NEW. ADAM MORGAN IS NEW.

MARK SMITH IS NEW. SO AGAIN WE'VE GOT WE'VE GOT SOME FOLKS THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BRING UP TO SPEED ON THE EDUCATION REFORM LEGISLATION AND HOW WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT ADDITIONALLY. WE WILL SEE SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES AS I MENTIONED ON THE COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP. GREG HANBURY WILL REMAIN AS COMMITTEE CHAIR ON THE SENATE SIDE. BUT AS WE CHOOSE COMMITTEES ON THE SENATE SIDE BY SENIORITY, THAT'S A PROCESS THAT WILL HAPPEN AS I MENTIONED WHEN WE RETURN FOR THE SENATE REORGANIZATION SESSION, USUALLY THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS WHEN WE'RE BACK ON JANUARY 12TH AND 13TH I THINK THAT YOU WILL SEE A RENEWED EFFORT FOR BROADBAND AND THE OFFICE REGULATORY SERVICES, PART OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH A BROADBAND PLAN. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING DILIGENTLY OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST FOUR MONTHS TO PUT A PLAN INTO PLACE TO BRING TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WILL ALSO BRING FORWARD A COST FOR PROVIDING SERVICES TO THE STATE. MOST OF THE PROVIDERS HAVE RESPONDED TO THE ADDRESS THROUGH AN RFP PROCESS ON A PROCUREMENT ISSUE OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE AND OR ADDRESS IS GOING THROUGH THOSE APPLICATIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE POTENTIAL PROVIDERS MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LEGISLATION THAT WAS PASSED DEALING WITH BROADBAND THROUGHOUT THE STATE. SO LET ME LET ME STOP THERE AND JUST SAY I LOOK FORWARD TO US AT OUR NEXT WORK MEETING DISCUSSING WHAT ELSE YOU ALL WANT TO HAVE INCLUDED ON YOUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FOR 20 21 KNOWING THAT BROADBAND AND EDUCATION REFORM AND APPROPRIATIONS ARE GOING TO BE THE TOP THINGS THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH AND THE CONTINUED PAIN THEY MAKE IN MAKING SURE THAT WE FUND ALL THE APPROPRIATE STATE AGENCIES FOR TESTING AND AT SOME POINT WHEN WE'RE READY HOW WE DISTRIBUTE VACCINES THROUGHOUT THE STATE. SO DR.. LET ME STOP THERE AND SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR ME OTHERWISE. THAT'S MY REPORT FOR THIS

EVENING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YOU'RE FOR YOUR REPORT.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS, MR. STRANGER. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. JUST POINT OUT JUST DRAW THE BOARD'S ATTENTION TO A NEW MEMBER OF THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE IS MICHAEL RIVERS.

I THINK MANY OF YOU REMEMBER HIM. HE RELEASED THREE ON OUR BOARD . SO WE HAVE AN ALLY THERE. IT'S GOOD TO SEE THAT NAME IN THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. THANK YOU. YOU HAD A CHANCE WHEN YOU SAID THAT THE LEGISLATURE WOULD BEGIN TO WORK ON THE BUDGET. JANUARY 12TH.

WHEN DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT WE WILL HAVE SOME ANSWERS AS TO WHEN THE BUDGET WOULD LOOK LIKE

. >> WELL, WE'LL KNOW FAIRLY QUICKLY WHAT THE WHAT THE 1920 BUDGET LOOKS LIKE. THEY HAVE INDICATED BOTH THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE THAT THEY ANTICIPATE A VERY QUICK TURNAROUND. SO I WOULD SUSPECT BY THE END OF FEBRUARY WE WILL HAVE APPROPRIATED THE FUNDING THAT'S LEFT IN THE 19 20 BUDGET.

THE 2021 BUDGET WILL BEGIN IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER. AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE TO BE DONE BEFORE WE ADJOURN. SONNIE DE THE FIRST.

I'M SORRY THE SECOND THURSDAY AND MAY BUT WE'LL KNOW THOSE NUMBERS.

[00:40:03]

GOING TO LOOK LIKE TO OUR THANK YOU. >> LINDA, YOU HAVE OUR BONES LEGISLATIVE AGENDA IN FRONT OF YOU RIGHT NOW BY CHANCE. I DO NOT MISS OR CHECK I AM SO

SORRY. >> I DID NOT BRING IT WITH ME. IS THERE I JUST WONDERING HOW

MANY OF THE ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA DID YOU SPEAK TO THIS EVENING? >> WELL, WE HAD SEVERAL THINGS LARGEST PIECE BEING THE EDUCATION REFORM BILL WHICH I THINK I'VE EXPLAINED WHERE WHERE THAT HANDLED. WE ALSO WE'RE FOLLOWING OUR RECALL THAT WE HAD FOUR OTHER MAJOR PRIORITIES AS I CAN RECALL. I DID NOT TALK ABOUT THAT TONIGHT AS WE TALKED ABOUT THE LAST TIME WE WERE TOGETHER. WE HAD MADE SIGNIFICANT STRIDES ON A COUPLE OF THOSE AND THEN WITH THE PANDEMIC AS YOU KNOW, WE SHUT DOWN BASICALLY ON MARCH THE 13TH AND DID NOTHING. THAT COVERED RELATING FUNDING THERE IS IN MY REPORT.

AND ROBIN, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN BRING THAT UP OR NOT, BUT IT'S UNDER THE REVIEW.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY SPECIAL SESSION WHICH WAS SEPTEMBER THE 14TH THROUGH THE 24TH MRS. OR CHECK ON THAT IF YOU TURN TO PAGE THREE IT WILL SHOW YOU THE LEGISLATION THAT PASSED IN THAT LAST WEEK. MOST OF WHICH WAS NON EDUCATION RELATED.

IT WAS BUSINESS LICENSE TAX WE DEALT WITH SOME WIRELESS ISSUES SO THAT WE COULD DEAL WITH THE BROADBAND ISSUE. WE OFFERED AN ELECTRICITY STUDY COMMITTEE BUT AGAIN THE MAJOR EDUCATION REFORMS INITIATIVES THAT WE HAD ON OUR AGENDA WERE NOT BROUGHT UP BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT REPORTED OUT OF COMMITTEE. WE DID NOT GET TO THE FULL WAR WHEN WE SHUT DOWN WITH PANDEMIC ON THE 13TH OF MARCH. WHY DID YOU MAY AS A FOLLOW UP?

>> AND FOR OUR BOARD GOING FORWARD WHICH I WON'T BE A PART OF .

I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO EVALUATE THE VALUE THAT WE HAVE FOUND IN YOUR SERVICE SINCE TO OUR BOARD AND WE GO ON TO MOVING OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA FORWARD.

AND IF I WERE A BOARD MEMBER CONTINUING I WOULD JUST WANT YOUR REPORT PRIMARILY FOCUSED ON OUR AGENDA AND THEN WITH ANY ADDITIONAL TIME LEFT OVER REPORTING ON THE BROADER DEVELOPMENTS AROUND THE STATE. SO I APPRECIATE YOUR REPORT THIS EVENING.

I YOU KNOW, WOULD WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN JUST OVER FOCUS ON OUR LEGISLATIVE AGENDA AS OPPOSED TO GENERAL DEVELOPMENT. THE PRECIOUS MY PERSONAL OPINION AND THANK YOU, MA'AM. APPRECIATE YOUR REPORT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> AND TOTALLY UNDERSTANDABLE. AND I AM HAPPY TO PROVIDE THAT TO YOU.

AND BASICALLY WHAT IS GOING TO SHOW YOU IS THAT WHEN WE SHUT DOWN ON THE 13TH THAT THE MOVE OF OUR PARTICULAR AGENDA WAS CALLED IN THE CODE THAT PANDEMIC AND WE CERTAINLY WERE NOT AS SUCCESSFUL MOVING FORWARD ON ALL THE PIECES OF LEGISLATION THAT WE HAD HOPED NOT TO ANYONE'S FAULT. IT WAS JUST THE NATURE OF THE PANDEMIC AND I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO PROVIDE THAT TO THE BOARD UNDER SEPARATE COVER AND BE GLAD TO DO THAT.

DR. GATZ AND AND ROBIN WRIGHT, WHEN I GAVE YOU SOME OF THE THINGS ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION HAD THEIR LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE JUST WHAT A NUMBER OF THE BOARD MEMBERS ATTENDED INCLUDING MYSELF AND THERE FOR EXAMPLE ONE OF OUR AGENDA ITEMS WAS THE TO NOT HAVE A CAP ON RACE ARE BEING REHIRED AND ONLY BEING ABLE TO EARN TEN THOUSAND.

>> WELL THAT WAS ACTUALLY ALREADY AS FAR AWAY AS OCTOBER SO WE CORRECT.

WE DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ANY FURTHER WORK ON THAT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE.

THE ANOTHER ONE OF OUR AGENDA ITEMS WAS THE TO INCREASE SOUTH CAROLINA TEACHER SALARIES TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE. WELL, THAT'S OBVIOUS. THERE IS NOT A IS A STICKING POINT CURRENTLY WITH THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC. THEY MADE A SIGNIFICANT IS AT THE CONFERENCE THAT THEY DIDN'T THINK THAT THE STEADY INCREASE WOULD PASS THIS YEAR OR THE

[00:45:07]

IF WE'RE ABLE TO DO BONUSES AS OPPOSED RELY ON THAT INCREASE AND THEN THE PRICE BAND EXPANSION YOU ALREADY MENTIONED THAT I THINK THOSE ARE ONES I COULD PICK RIGHT OFF THE TOP

OF MY HEAD. >> YEAH. THOSE THOSE WERE THE MEANS.

AND ROBIN, IF SHE CAN PULL IT UP FOR YOU ALL TO SEE DID INCLUDE IN OUR PACKET OUR END OF YEAR REPORT ON ALL THE LEGISLATION THAT WE WERE TRACKING AND FOLLOWING FOR YOU ALL NOT ONLY INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATOR BUT ALSO PROVISOS THAT WERE IN THE BUDGET WHICH DEALT WITH A LOT THOSE ISSUES THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET. I DID NOT GO THROUGH THAT BECAUSE IT'S VOLUMINOUS. I'M HAPPY TO DO THAT WHENEVER YOU GUYS WANT ME TO DO THAT.

BUT THAT IS IN YOUR PACKET OF INFORMATION STRONG LINE. I KNOW THAT ANOTHER OUR INITIATIVES WAS ASKING FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE PRE-K FOUR YEAR OLD PROGRAM AND THAT THAT'S ADDRESSED IN THE REPORT . BUT I HAVE A QUESTION THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OFF THE WALL. AND IF YOU CAN ANSWER IT, THAT'S FINE.

IF YOU CAN'T JUST SAY SO. I'M WONDERING IF OUR LEGISLATORS DO AS A BODY DO IN

ANNUAL SELF-EVALUATION THEY DO NOT. >> THERE ARE OTHER ENTITIES LIKE THE STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, THE MANUFACTURERS ALLIANCE AND SOME OTHER GROUPS PRIVATE GROUPS THAT PUT TOGETHER REPORT CARDS BUT THEY ARE SPECIFIC TO THEIR ISSUES.

NOW THE STATE CHAMBERS BEEN VERY FOCUSED ON EDUCATION REFORM AND THE EDUCATION REFORM LEGISLATION AS WELL AS INCREASED FUNDING TO TO TEACHERS.

I'D BE HAPPY TO GET YOU A COPY OF THAT IF YOU WOULD LIKE BUT THEY DO NOT SELF EVALUATE.

>> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, ROBIN. THAT IS THAT IS THE BIG REPORT THAT DEALS WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE REPORT THAT GOES THROUGH ALL THE LEGISLATION THAT WE WERE FOLLOWING FOR YOU ALL. AND WHAT HAPPENED TO IT AS A RESULT OF THE END OF THE YEAR REPORT? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SAFE TRAVELS AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT.

AND WE WISH HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON. >> THANK YOU.

YOU ALL TOO. HAPPY HOLIDAYS. AND YOU GUYS STAY SAFE TONIGHT.

NOVEMBER'S STUDENT OF THE MONTH FOR NORTH OF THE BROAD IS TERRENCE THOMAS, THIRD GRADE STUDENT AT SHANKLIN ELEMENTARY .

WHEN ANOTHER STUDENT RECEIVED A BAD GRADE ON A TEST TERRORIST USED HIS KIND WORDS TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER BY SHARING WITH HIM THAT HE HAD GOTTEN A BAD GRADE TOO. AND HOW THEY CAN ALWAYS DO BETTER NEXT TIME. TERRENCE NEVER FORGETS TO SHOW GRATITUDE WHEN HE IS GIVEN THINK THINGS LIKE TREATS OR SCHOOL SUPPLIES. TERRENCE EXHIBITS A WIN WIN ATTITUDE. HE PLAYS WELL WITH EVERYONE IN THE CLASSROOM.

HE MADE A NEW STUDENT FEEL COMFORTABLE BY HELPING AND INTRODUCING HIM TO THE WHOLE CLASS.

THE NOVEMBER STUDENT OF THE MONTH IS DAISY FRANCISCO DE LA CRUZ, A FOURTH GRADER AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND SCHOOL FOR THE CREATIVE ARTS MR. ESSO.

DAISY'S TEACHER SHARES THAT DAISY IS ONE OF THE KINDEST STUDENTS I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF TEACHING. SHE ALWAYS SHOWS RESPECT TOWARDS YOUR CLASSMATES AND HER TEACHER. THERE IS NEVER A TIME THAT SHE DOESN'T SAY THANK YOU.

WHEN YOU GIVE HER A COMPLIMENT OR DOING HER WORK MORE EVER TIME THAT SHE DOESN'T SAY THANK YOU.

WE DO HAVE AN EXTENSION THIS YEAR FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT TO ISSUE BY JANUARY 15TH. SO WE ARE HAVE NOT ISSUED THE REPORT AS OF YET.

AND THAT'S WHY YOU DO NOT HAVE THE REPORT THIS EVENING. WE WILL COME BACK AND PROVIDE THAT TO THE BOARD AT A LATER DATE. ONCE THAT REPORT IS FINAL BUT WE'RE GOING TO I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR YOU AND TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE THIS EVENING ON THE PROGRESS AND THE RESULTS WE HAVE SO FAR WITH SOME MINOR EDITS OF OUR DOCUMENT GOING FORWARD. AND SO WITH THAT I WILL TURN IT OVER TO HOPE.

WELCOME HOPE. >> THANK YOU, TONY. >> AND THANK YOU BOARD FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND SPEAK TO YOU ALL THIS EVENING.

[01:15:03]

WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME UPCOMING GAS VERY PRONOUNCED. BUT GADDAFI IS THE GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD. THAT'S THE AUTHORITY THAT KIND OF SETS THE RULES FOR ACCOUNTING THAT YOU ALL HAVE TO FOLLOW. WE'LL TALK ABOUT SOME CHANGES THAT THEY'VE ALREADY PASSED THAT WE'LL BE IMPLEMENTED IN FUTURE YEARS.

AND THEN I'LL BE GLAD TO TAKE QUESTIONS AT THE END. >> SO FIRSTLY I WANT TO TALK

ABOUT JENKINS. >> WE'RE A REGIONAL FIRM. I DO LIVE IN MACON, GEORGIA BUT I WORK OUT OF SAVANNAH AND MACON AS WELL. AND WE ALSO HAVE AN OFFICE IN COLUMBIA SO WE WORK WITH OVER 500 GOVERNMENTAL CLIENTS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHEAST.

THAT INCLUDES OVER 60 SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND 40 CHARTER SCHOOLS AND THAT INCLUDES OVER 100000 HOURS OF SERVICE EVERY YEAR UTILIZING ABOUT 100 DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH CURRENT GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE. SO WE'RE IN THE GOVERNMENTAL REALM AN ARENA AND WE'RE IN EDUCATION ARENA IF YOU WILL ADVANCE TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

>> SO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT ON THE 2020 AUDIT WE HAVE NOT FINISHED COMPLETELY AND DON'T HAVE ALL OF OUR REVIEWS AND OUR QUALITY CONTROL PROCESSES DONE

AT THIS POINT. >> BUT I DO ANTICIPATE ISSUING A CLEAN OPINION AND UNMODIFIED OPINION WHICH IS THE BEST YOU CAN GET. SO CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU TONYA AND HER TEAM FOR THAT. THEY'VE BEEN EXCELLENT TO WORK WITH.

THEY APPEAR TO DO A GREAT JOB AND WE'RE THANKFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE A TIMELY RESPONSE HELPS MAKE OUR WORK GO QUICKLY. WE ALSO DID NOT AND DID NOT IDENTIFY THE AREAS OF NONCOMPLIANCE THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BE REPORTED AS WELL.

GO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT LINE. THE NEXT PART OF OUR AUDIT YOU ALL ARE SUBJECT TO A FEDERAL COMPLIANCE AUDIT. IT'S CALLED A SINGLE AUDIT THAT'S REQUIRED BY THE UNIFORM GUIDANCE EVERY YEAR FEDERAL PROGRAMS OF WHICH YOU HAVE SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT ON THE PROGRAM THAT WE SELECTED THIS YEAR AND WE USE A RISK BASED APPROACH OF THAT WAS THE CHILD NUTRITION CLUSTER YOUR SCHOOL NUTRITION PROGRAM. AND WE ALSO ANTICIPATE HAVING A CLEAN OPINION ON THAT PROGRAM AND NOT REPORTING ANY FINDINGS IN THAT AREA.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE VERY PROUD OF . YOU CAN CONTINUE.

PLEASE THE NEXT COUPLE OF SLIDES ARE REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS.

>> THESE ARE JUST THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY THE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND THE AUDITING STANDARDS FOR US TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU ALL. I'M NOT GONNA GO THROUGH THESE IN DETAIL. I BELIEVE THERE'S A COUPLE FLAWS THERE SINCE YOU ALL WERE PROVIDED ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT I BELIEVE IN ADVANCE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THOSE THAT'S JUST PRETTY MUCH INDICATE THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE INDEPENDENT.

WE HAD NO PROBLEMS FOR MANAGEMENT. THE STANDARD REQUIRED COMMUNICATIONS. I WON'T GO THROUGH AND READ ALL OF THOSE IF YOU'LL ADVANCE I BELIEVE WE'RE NEXT SECTION IS THE FINANCIAL TRENDS THAT I'D LIKE TO GO THROUGH.

PLEASE ONE MORE PLEASE. OK. ONE MORE AREA.

SAY THIS IS ALL GOOD STUFF RIGHT HERE. YOU CAN READ IF YOU NEED HELP.

GO TO SLEEP SOMETIME. ALL RIGHT. SO WHAT IT DID WAS I WENT BACK AND I DID A FIVE YEAR HISTORY OF YOUR GENERAL FUND BECAUSE THAT'S KIND OF THE THE HEARTBEAT OF ANY ORGANIZATION IS YOUR MAIN GENERAL FUND. YOUR OTHER FUNDS ARE EARMARKED FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES BUT YOUR GENERAL FUNDS ONLY YOUR LARGEST FUND.

AND AGAIN IT'S THE HEARTBEAT OF YOUR ORGANIZATION. AND I COMPARED YOUR REVENUES YOU MIGHT WANT TO FLORIDA JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO YEAH, THERE WE GET THE BLUE AMOUNT. SO YOUR REVENUES AND AGREE AMOUNT OF YOUR EXPENDITURES THIS KIND OF SHOWS A GENERAL KIND OF TRENDING ABOUT EVEN PRETTY MUCH EVERY YEAR.

AND THEN THIS YEAR OF COURSE YOUR REVENUES WILL HAPPEN. YOUR EXPENDITURES ARE DOWN DUE TO YOUR CLOSURES DUE TO COPE WITH 19. SO THIS JUST IS KIND OF INTERESTING TO SEE. TO ME TO SEE THE CHANNEL KIND OF STAY AND LEVEL THAT'S KIND OF WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY. YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE TOO MUCH REVENUE BUT YOU DON'T YOU WANT TO HAVE ENOUGH TO COVER ALL YOUR EXPENDITURES AS HE'LL

CONTINUE ON PLEASE. >> THIS IS YOUR CHANGE IN FINE BALANCE OR IN YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC WORLD. THIS WOULD BE YOUR NET INCOME. SO THIS IS A FIVE YEAR HISTORY ON THAT. AND AGAIN WE'RE NEW THIS YEAR. I CAN'T SPEAK TO KIND OF WHAT

[01:20:02]

ADVANCE TO THE NEXT LARGELY. >> THIS IS KIND OF GIVES YOU A HISTORY.

I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE A POLICY ABOUT HOW MUCH FUND BALANCE YOU ALL WANT TO HAVE ON HAND AT YEAR END. THIS GIVES YOU AN ANALYSIS OF YOUR ENDING FUND BALANCE AS A PERCENTAGE OF YOUR CURRENT THAT CURRENT YEAR'S EXPENDITURES.

SO GOING TO 2016 YOU'RE ENDING FUND BALANCE A JUNE 30 16 WAS 14 PERCENT OF YOUR 2016 GENERAL FUND EXPENDITURES. SO I'M LOOKING AT IT YEAR TO YEAR NOT YEAR TO SUBSEQUENT YEAR'S BUDGET AND I THINK YOU ALL HAVE A POLICY FOR THAT AS WELL.

LIKE HOW MUCH FUND BALANCE IN RELATION TO YOUR SUBSEQUENT YEAR'S BUDGET BUT YOU'LL NOTICE THAT BECAUSE OF THE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT IN INCOME THIS YEAR Y'ALL ARE DOING VERY WELL EIGHTEEN POINT FIVE PERCENT OF YOUR YOUR CURRENT YEAR 2020 EXPENDITURES YOU HAVE THAT AMOUNT SOME BALANCE AT THE END OF THE YEAR. SO THAT'S A STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION TO CONTINUE. PLEASE. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT SOME GASES THAT YOU ALL NEED TO CONSIDER IN MY INFLUENCE YOUR BUDGETING OR YOUR PROCESSES GOING FORWARD . COVID DID ALLOW AN EXPANSION FOR THE FOR SOME OF THESE GUYS THESE MAINLY EIGHTY FOUR EIGHTY SEVEN EIGHTY FOUR DEALS THIS YEAR THE ACTIVITIES OR WHERE YOU ARE HOLDING FUNDS FOR OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR OTHER ENTITIES. RIGHT NOW YOU REPORTER FIDUCIARY FUND FOR YOUR PEOPLE ACTIVITY FUNDS SCHOOL ACCOUNTS THAT AT EACH INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL AND SET THIS STANDARD MAY IMPACT HOW YOU ALL REPORT THOSE GOING FORWARD.

I BELIEVE MISS PROBABLY AND HER TEAM HAVE ALREADY STARTED THINKING ABOUT THIS SO THAT THEY CAN IMPLEMENT IT IN YOUR CURRENT YEAR THAT YOU'RE CURRENTLY WORKING ON IF NOT TWENTY 21 THE NEXT STANDARD IS 80 7 WHICH HAS TO DO WITH LEASES PREVIOUSLY OPERATING LEASES OR THINGS THAT WERE REALLY TRUE RENTALS LIKE WHERE YOU WERE RENTING COPIERS PERHAPS OR OTHER TYPES OF EQUIPMENT THAT YOU DIDN'T INTEND TO EVER PURCHASE.

RIGHT. THOSE ARE JUST EXPENSE KIND OF AS YOU GO AND YOU WERE NOT RECORDING A LONG TERM LIABILITY FOR THAT. WILL GUYS BE EIGHTY SEVEN? DOES THAT YOU HAVE TO PICK UP THIS WOULD NOT APPLY TO ANY AGREEMENT THAT WOULD BE 12 MONTHS OR LESS WITH NO INDICATION OF RENEWALS. SO AS YOU REVIEW CONTRACTS AND AGREEMENTS GOING FORWARD, IF THERE ARE SOME THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO CONSIDER WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANTED THAT TO BE SOMETHING THAT YOU OBLIGATE YOURSELF PAST TWELVE MONTHS OR NOT AND IF IT IS OBLIGATED TO PAST TWELVE MONTHS IT WILL HAVE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS STANDARD AND THAT'LL BE IMPLEMENTED IN YOUR FISCAL YEAR 2022. AND IT IS A PRO IT IS NOT A IT IS A RETROACTIVE STANDARD. SO ANY OPERATING LEASE OR ANY LEASE AGREEMENT THAT WAS IN PLACE BEGINNING IN FY 20 TO 20 22 REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT STARTED EVEN IF IT STARTED IN A PRIOR YEAR WOULD HAVE TO BE PICKED UP IF YOU ADVANCE MAYBE A COUPLE FOR 93 AND 94 PROBABLY WILL APPLY TO YOU ALL VERY MUCH . BUT I DO WANT TO TALK ABOUT NANNY STATE. THIS WILL BE EFFECTIVE FOR YOU ALL YOU'RE IN IT.

TWENTY TWENTY THREE THIS HAS TO DO WITH SUBSCRIPTION BASED INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ARRANGEMENT OR COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE BETAS. THESE ARE WHERE YOUR PURCHASING THE RIGHT TO USE AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS SUCH AS IT MIGHT BE CLOUD BASED SERVICE MIGHT JUST BE A SUBSCRIPTION FOR INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY. SO THIS IS GOING TO REQUIRE YOU JUST LIKE THE STANDARDS TO PICK UP THOSE ASSETS AND POTENTIALLY THERE'S LONG TERM LIABILITIES FOR ANY ITEMS THAT HAVE AGREEMENT PERIOD LONGER THAN 12 MONTHS.

SO THIS WILL REQUIRE YOU TO REPORT THOSE AS ASSETS WHEREAS BEFORE YOU JUST KIND OF PURCHASED SOME OUTRIGHT YOU TOOK THE HIT IN THE CURRENT YEAR YOU YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THESE UP AS ASSETS IN THE OFFSETTING LIABILITY AT THIS POINT WE DON'T.

THIS IS A PRETTY NEW STANDARD. SO WE ANTICIPATE HAVING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT I WILL BRING TO YOU ALL AND SHARE WITH MANAGEMENT GOING FORWARD AS WE GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TO WHAT TWENTY THREE ADVANCE PLEASE OTHER TAMING PROJECTS THAT GABBY IS CURRENTLY LOOKING AT. THEY HAVEN'T ACTUALLY ISSUED A STANDARD YET TO TELL US HOW THEY'RE CHANGING THE RULES PER SAY THEY'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THE FINANCE REPORTING MODEL AND THE CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK. THIS COULD CHANGE HOW YOUR FINANCIALS STATEMENTS ARE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS LOOK. SO THEY'RE KIND OF EVERY TEN OR

[01:25:01]

SO THEY'RE PAST DUE FOR DOING SO THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CHANGE THE WAY THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS LOOK. THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING AT REVENUE AND EXPENSE RECOGNITION AND HOW YOU RECOGNIZE REVENUE AND EXPENSE TRANSACTIONS. COMPENSATED ABSENCES WHICH IS LIKE ACCRUED VACATION AND SICK TIME AND THEN ALSO HOW WE REPORTED PRIOR TO THE ADJUSTMENT THAT'S WHERE YOU HAVE AN ITEM THAT MAYBE AFTER YOU ISSUED THE ORDER YOU MIGHT HAVE TO CHANGE HOW THINGS BEEN REPORTED IN A PREVIOUS YEAR. SO THEY'RE LOOKING PROJECTS SO IN FUTURE YEARS I DO ANTICIPATE AND COME TO YOU ALL AND TALK ABOUT HOW THESE THINGS MIGHT BE IMPACTING YOUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. DO ADVANCE PLEASE.

DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT MOMENT JENKINS OFFERS FREQUENT QUARTERLY CONTINUING

EDUCATION AND NEWSLETTER? >> WHAT ARE THE THINGS BACK IN THE RECESSION? TWO THOUSAND EIGHT. WE NOTICED WAS THAT PEOPLE WERE CUTTING THEIR BUDGET FOR TRAVEL AND TRAINING. AND WE FEEL LIKE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HAVE EDUCATED CLIENTS AND SO WE TRY TO OFFER THIS TRAINING. WE'VE MADE IT TO A VIRTUAL FORMAT. AND SO SIMILARLY ONCE A QUARTER WE TAKE AN EMERGING TARGET OR MULTIPLE TOPICS AND WE TALK ABOUT IT FOR A WHOLE DAY. WE DO TEACH THESE OURSELVES WITH OUR MONIES. JENKINS PROFESSIONAL. OCCASIONALLY WE'LL BRING IN AN EXPERT FROM OUTSIDE BUT THAT IS RARE. AND SO I THINK MISS CROSBY AND MAYBE MR. MURPHY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE AND WE HOPE THAT THEY FOUND THIS TO BE USEFUL. IF THERE'S ANYONE ELSE YOU MIGHT WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE FREE EVENTS, THERE'S NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THESE EVENTS.

THERE IS INFORMATION ON THE SITE ABOUT HOW YOU CAN GET ON THE LIST TO DO THAT.

WE ALSO SEND OUT NEWSLETTERS WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO SEND OUT BLAST ABOUT ALL THE CHANGES FOR CARE FUNDING THAT WE CAN. SO THOSE HAVE BEEN COMING OUT AND THOSE ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE AS WELL. JUST ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO TRY TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND

ADVISORY TO OUR CLIENT EVENTS. THE SLIDE PLEASE. >> AND AT THIS POINT I'M HAPPY

TO TAKE ANY COMMENT OR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL HAVE. >> I DO WANT TO CONCLUDE BY SAYING AGAIN THAT I APPRECIATE THIS CROSBY AND HER STAFF AND THEIR WILLINGNESS TO RESPOND TO US QUICKLY AND MAKE OUR JOB EASY AS POSSIBLE. WE REALLY HAVE ENJOYED WORKING WITH THEM AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THEM AND YOU ALL IN THE FUTURE.

THIS PHOTOGRAPHS RESOURCES I HOPE. >> MY QUESTION IS FOR ROBIN OR TONYA. WE HAVE THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION OR WHATEVER THIS SOFTWARE IS IN BROAD DOCS TONIGHT. CAN WE ALSO HAVE THE FULL REPORT ITSELF FOR REVIEW AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE PRESENTATION TIME IF YOU SENT THAT VIA EMAIL? FORGIVE ME IF I MISSED IT. I'M SORRY I DID NOT PROVIDE THE DOCUMENT TO THE SAVING. IT IS STILL IN A DRAFT FORMAT. WE HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES FROM THE ORIGINAL DRAFT SO THIS EVENING I THINK IT MIGHT BE BEST NOT TO HAVE THIS FOR A VOTE. I CAN BRING IT TO A FUTURE MEETING WITH THE P E AND THE FINAL DOCUMENT TO THE BOARD OR I THINK IT WOULD BE BEST TO HAVE A FINAL DOCUMENT FOR THOSE AT A FUTURE DATE. IF THAT IS THE WILL OF THE BOARD THINGS DONE EARLY AS ARE

THE OTHER QUESTIONS FOR AGGRESSIVE REGARD. >> YES SIR.

SO TO FOLLOW UP ON MR. SHARP'S QUESTION. SO THE FINAL REPORT WE WOULDN'T VOTE ON THIS UNTIL YOU RECEIVED THE FINAL REPORT WHICH HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO THE JANUARY 15TH

DEADLINE, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. >> OK.

AND IF I MISSED PROBABLY OR THE BOARD WILL THAT THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO COME AND PRESENT AGAIN.

YOU KNOW I CAN DO THAT SO MR. STRINGER THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

>> I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE YOU HAVE THIS IN THE RESULTS OF THE 20 20 AUDIT THAT THIS IS NOT AN ASSURANCE OF THE INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE. THIS IS AN AUDIT OF OUR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HOW WELL THEY'RE DOING. AND I JUST I JUST EMPHASIZE THAT I KNOW THAT'S BOILERPLATE. IT'S ALWAYS IN THERE BUT I ALWAYS GET A QUESTION FROM CONSTITUENTS AFTER WE DO THESE REPORTS AND IT'S ALWAYS THAT QUESTION.

SO I'M TRYING TO PREEMPT THEM IF THEY'RE WATCHING TO TO POINT THAT OUT AND YOU CERTAINLY CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG THAT AGAIN I'M JUST GIVING YOU A CLEAR IMPLICATION SCUSE ME,

[01:30:12]

CONNIE. >> CAN YOU PLEASE REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID? I WAS GOING TO ASK HER IF SHE WOULD ADDRESS THE COMMENT ABOUT INTERNAL CONTROLS WHERE WE THEY'RE AUDITING OFFER AN OPINION ON INTERNAL CONTROLS OR WHAT YOUR WORK IS RELATING TO

THOSE. >> WE DO AN ASSESSMENT OF THE CONTROL CONTROLS TOO AS PART OF OUR RISK ASSESSMENT FOR OUR AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

BUT THOSE PROCEDURES ARE NOT SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY ISSUE AN OPINION ON INTERNAL CONTROLS. WE DO ADMIT IF WE IF WE IDENTIFY DEFICIENCIES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS WE DO REPORT THEM BUT WE DO NOT PROVIDE AN OPINION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT INTERNAL CONTROLS ARE SUFFICIENT OR NOT. THAT'S NOT THE OBJECTIVE OF OUR

AUDIT. >> THANK MANAGER. SO HOPE AND CROSBY, YOU ARE SAYING THAT YOU ANTICIPATE THAT REPORT IS GOING TO HAVE NO ISSUES.

IT'S UNMODIFIED AND NO AREAS YOU'RE ANTICIPATING THE FINAL REPORT TO SAY.

>> CORRECT. >> YES, MA'AM. WE ARE NOT IN TO PLAY REPORTING ANY FINDINGS IN THE FINAL REPORT. SO SOME CROSBY THIS WOULD THEN ADD TO HOW MANY YEARS IN A ROW HAVE YOU RECEIVED AND PRETTY MUCH A PLAIN AUDIT 20.

>> THIS WILL BE THE 20TH CONSECUTIVE YEAR. >> CONGRATULATIONS.

CONGRATULATIONS. LOOK FORWARD TO THE FINAL WORD. >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU TO OUR STAFF THE TREMENDOUS STAFF THAT WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS AS WELL.

SO JUST MET FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO DOCTOR OUR RE GUESS WHAT MADE US BRING THIS REPORT IN

FROM THE BOARD TODAY. >> IF THE REPORT IS NOT COMPLETE, WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE

OF BRINGING THE REPORT FROM THE BOARD THAT IT IS MISS CROSBY? >> IT IS ON THE BOARD WORK PLAN AS REPORT IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER BECAUSE IT IS TRADITIONALLY ISSUED ON DECEMBER 1ST. SO I FELT LIKE IT WAS IMPORTANT FOR THE BOARD TO HAVE THAT UPDATE TO BE AWARE OF OF THE STATUS OF THE AUDIT. AND SO WE HAVE MINOR UPDATES TO THE REPORT THAT WILL OCCUR IN THE COMING WEEKS LEADING UP TO JANUARY 15TH.

SO IT WAS IN THE WORK PLAN SO I FELT IT IT WAS IT WAS IMPORTANT TO BRING THE SAVING I I THOUGHT THAT I'VE GOT I MEAN I'VE MIXED EMOTIONS ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I FEEL THAT WE ARE BASICALLY HELD

THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. >> I MEAN WE HAVE UNTIL WE HAVE OUR FINAL PRODUCT.

I DON'T THAT I DON'T THINK THAT THIS WOULD THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BOUGHT MORE FOR THE BOARD. THIS IS THIS COULD BE SOMETHING SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO THAT WE WERE WORKING ON. IT'S ALMOST FINISHED. BUT TO BRING IT OUT TONIGHT, I JUST DON'T THINK THAT I'M GLAD I DID THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT A HALF OF THE REPORT DONE. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT UPDATE COULD BE GIVEN BUT TO HAVE A GUEST HERE AND TO BE SAYING THAT THE REPORT IS PRETTY MUCH DONE BUT NOT DONE THAT TO ME THAT'S THAT'S KIND OF A LITTLE DISTURBING BECAUSE THAT'S THAT'S NOT WHAT THE DISTRICT IS I BELIEVE IS ASKING FOR THE REPORT OR WHETHER IT OR HOW VERY HIGH THE REPORT IS THIS DONE AS A WHOLE? I MEAN THE FINISHED FINISHED PRODUCT IS AS I BELIEVE WHAT I WAS EXPECTING TONIGHT. THANK YOU. WELL, I GUESS I GUESS MY TWO COMMENT YOU AND YOUR STAFF TONYA AND THE FIVE PARAGRAPH COMPLIMENTED YOU ABOUT BEING SO EASY TO WORK WITH AND WE GOT THE SAME COMPLIMENT FROM JAN ACCOUNTING REGARDING THE FORENSIC AUDIT WITH ROBIN COOK AND BARRY AND THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT AND I THINK THAT

[01:35:03]

IT'S I BELIEVE THAT IT'S ALSO FAIR TO DESCRIBE THE GO AUDIT THAT IT DOES NOT COMMENT ON THE MANAGEMENT ACUMEN OR THE EXCELLENCE OF FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT OF THE DISTRICT.

>> IT'S IT'S A COMMENTARY THAT ITS STATEMENTS ARE ACCURATE. THAT SAID, A FAIR WAY TO DESCRIBE. YES, THAT'S A VERY THAT'S A VERY FAIR WAY TO PUT IT.

WE DO OPINE ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE NUMBERS THEMSELVES AND ARE THEY IN FACT TRUE NUMBERS? WE DON'T OPINE ON THE BUSINESS SENSE OR ACUMEN OF THE PEOPLE

PREPARING THOSE. >> OK. THANK YOU.

[Annual Review of Local Board Approved Courses]

DR. STRATOS AND MISS HENDERSON, WILL YOU TAKE THIS ONE? YES.

EASY BOY. MEMORIES IF I COULD TAKE A MOMENT TO INTRODUCE MRS. HENDERSON AS WELL WAS A MEMBER FROM OUR INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES DIVISION WHEN SHE AIRED A MEMORANDUM THAT IS IN FRONT OF YOU REGARDING ANNUAL REVIEW OF LOCAL BOARD CORSETS,

RAMPLING SAYS ELDER HAYES. >> I'LL TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THE REQUIREMENT IN THE FRANK CREDIT SOUTH CAROLINA ACTIVITY CODING SYSTEM STUDENT INFORMATION 20 20 21 ONE THAT THE DISTRICT SCHOOL BOARD IS REQUIRED TO ANNUALLY REVIEW AND APPROVE ALL LOCAL WARD APPROVED COURSES THIS TO PLEASE SEE THE ENCLOSED SPREADSHEET AND RIBAUT IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE POLICY SCHOOL BOARD POLICY SHARES THAT EACH DISTRICT MUST MAINTAIN A LISTING LISTING OF WHAT WE KNOW

AS L.B. A'S AND OUR FOOD FORCES BY SUFFOLK AREA AND SUBGROUP. >> THESE ACTIVITIES MUST BE UNIFORMLY NUMBERED WITHIN EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT OR ALL LOCALLY OR LOCALLY BOARD APPROVED COURSES MUST BE APPROVED BY THE DISTRICT'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES EACH YEAR AND EVIDENCE IN THE

[01:40:02]

ACCREDITATION. >> THE SPREADSHEET HAS PROVIDED THE COURSE NUMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN OUR ACTIVE EMPOWER SCHOOL . THE FINAL COLUMN DETERMINES IF

THEY ARE CURRENTLY BEING USED. >> THIS IS AN ACCUMULATION OF YEARS.

THERE'LL BE A'S THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD. >> I'M OPEN FOR ANY DISCUSSION WITH NECESSARY DOCTOR WAS NOT TO BE. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

CAN YOU HEAR ME OK? YES. >> YEAH.

MY QUESTION IS JUST IN REGARD TO SOME OF THE CLASSES I NOTICE.

THERE'S QUITE A LOT THAT IT SAYS NO THAT THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY ACTIVE IN SOME OF THOSE THAT I SAW THE NO NEXT TO SOMEWHAT SURPRISED ME MOSTLY BEING THAT THE CHINESE AND FIFTH SIXTH SEVENTH EIGHTH GRADE I BELIEVE WAS WHAT I NOTICED AND I RECALL A CONVERSATION WITH A PARENT IN THE DISTRICT BEFORE REGARDING CHINESE EDUCATION MOVING THROUGH MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO I JUST WANTED TO KIND OF TOUCH ON THAT AS WELL AS THE GENERAL REASONS FOR WHY SOME OF THESE ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ARE THEY JUST BEING PHASED OUT OR OR WHAT IS THE GENERAL RATIONALE THERE? MADAM, TO OUR BOARD MEMBERS AS ADOPTIVE STRATAS MENTIONED EARLIER, THERE ARE A TOTAL OF ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE LOCAL BOARD APPROVED COURSES CURRENTLY THERE. FIFTY EIGHT ACTIVE LBJ COURSES.

WHEN THOSE THAT YOU SEE THAT ARE NOT ACTIVE THERE ARE STILL IN POWER SCHOOL AT ANY TIME A SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR CAN CONTACT US THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

THEY SUBMIT A FORM TO REQUEST THAT A PARTICULAR COURSE BE ACTIVATED AND THEY WILL USE IT IN THEIR SCHOOL. AND AGAIN IF THERE IS A LOW ENROLLMENT OR THERE GEORGE W.

BUSH MEDIA LOCALLY. EXCUSE ME CAN YOU HEAR ME BETTER NOW? CAN YOU HEAR ME BETTER NOW, MR. WILLIAMS WITH HIS MOUTH? OH, A LITTLE BIT BETTER BUT YEAH, MAYBE MADE ME MIGHT NEED TO LEAN TO THE MIKE A LITTLE BIT.

>> OK, THEY BE AT THE LBJ COURSES THAT ARE IN ACTIVE. THOSE ARE COURSES THAT ARE NOT BEING USED IN THE SCHOOL. THEY ARE IN POWER SCHOOL AT ANY TIME A PRINCIPAL CAN SUBMIT A REQUEST TO ACTIVATE A COURSE AND POWER SCHOOL TO ADD TO THEIR MASTER SCHEDULE AND COURSE OFFERING. HOWEVER IF THERE IS A THERE IS A LOW ENROLLMENT IN A PARTICULAR COURSE AND THERE IS A THE PRINCIPAL CONDUCT A NEEDS ASSESSMENT OR SURVEY AND DOES NOT SEE THE ENROLLMENT INCREASE, THEY WILL OPT TO USE ANOTHER STATE APPROVED COURSE OR ANOTHER IT'LL BE A COURSE BASICALLY THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL IN REGARDS TO THE STUDENT AND THE PARENTS REQUEST IN REGARDS TO THE COURSE OFFERING HOW EVERY LBJ COURSES ARE OFTEN THE LAST COURSE TO BE USED BECAUSE WE HAVE A ACTIVE CODING MANUAL THAT HAS ALL STATE APPROVED COURSES AND IN ALL THE LOCAL BOARD APPROVED COURSES ARE ONLY ELECTIVE COURSES IN REGARDS TO THE SECONDARY LEVEL. THANK YOU.

THAT'S VERY HELPFUL. YOU'RE WELCOME. ISRAEL GOT YES I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE EARLY DISMISSAL AND LATE ARRIVAL AS LISTED. THIS I THINK PLACE HOLDERS FOR HIGH SCHOOL KIDS TO GO OUT AND WORK. I'M IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY WOULD BE A LOCAL BOARD, YOU KNOW? CLASS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT STATE A FOCUS IS A PLACE HOLDER. EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID.

WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE GO ON TO WORK BASED LEARNING EXPERIENCE THAT MAY NEED TO LEAVE EARLY OR ARE ROAD AND DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES WITH T.C. L OR USC B AND THEY MAY HAVE TO LEAVE EARLY OR ARRIVE LATE. WE HAVE STUDENTS THAT TAKE DUAL ENROLLMENT CLASSES FIRST BLOCK IN THE MORNING WITH THE TWO INSTITUTIONS THAT WE HAVE I AM ALL A WITH WHICH IS PCL AND THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA BEAUFORT.

SO THOSE ARE PLACE HOLDERS FOR THOSE STUDENTS. THANK YOU MR. CAMPBELL OR MS.

>> BLIGH REVAMP AMERICA'S AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY. HE'S TAUGHT IN HIGH SCHOOL.

WHY SHOULDN'T THEY START WITH A GIRL WITHOUT REFERENCE? >> AND AGAIN, LOCAL BOARD APPROVED COURSES ARE INITIATED AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL. WE DO NOT INITIATE THEM HERE AT

[01:45:05]

CAMPBELL CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION? >> QUESTION MR. COMES OUT WITH

RESPECT THE HISTORY YOU HAVE TRADITION. >> AGAIN, THE TEACHER COMES UP WITH THE SUBJECT. I GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE. I RECEIVED A LOCAL BOARD APPLICATION REQUEST FROM WELL-BRED EARLY COLLEGE HIGH LAST YEAR IN REGARDS TO AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES AND WE HAVE THIS LIST. SO EVEN THOUGH AN APPLICATION WAS SUBMITTED WE DID NOT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE PROCESS BECAUSE THERE WAS A BRUTE FORCE ON THE LIST AND WE JUST HAD TO ACTIVATE THE COURSE. THE LIST IS COMPOUNDED OVER A PERIOD OF TIME IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE COME UP WITH. AGAIN, WE HAVE TO HAVE DATA AND INPUT FROM THE STAKEHOLDERS TO WARRANT THE COURSE. THEIR INPUT AND ONCE THAT APPLICATION IS REVIEWED WE HAVE A PANEL UP HERE THAT REVIEW THAT APPLICATION.

IN ADDITION WITH THE MEMBERS OF THE LEADERSHIP MEMBERS OF THAT PARTICULAR SCHOOL THAT IS SUBMITTING THE APPLICATION SO THE LIST HAS GROWN OVER THE YEARS.

THAT'S WHY YOU SEE AGAIN SOME SOME OF THE COURSES ARE NOT ACTIVE IN POWERS BUT WITH SOME ARE ACTIVE IN POWER SCHOOL. SO THAT DATABASE IS MAINTAINED IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

SO IS THE STATE THE STATE DOES NOT HAVE ANY SAY IN THIS? >> NO, THE STATE HAS NO SAY SO IN THE LOCAL BOARD APPROVED COURSES BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY ELECTIVE COURSES AND THEY ARE HERE MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR UNIQUE COMMUNITY UNLIKE ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT MAY WANT TO OFFER OTHER COURSES UNIQUE TO THEIR I. THEY HAVE A LOT OF INDUSTRY AND TECHNOLOGY. THEY MAY COME UP WITH LOCAL BOARD APPROVED COURSES WITH EMPHASIS ON THAT THAT THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITY BASED ON THE NEEDS ASSESSMENT.

AGAIN WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THE CORE START AT THE SCHOOL LEVEL WITH THE CLASSROOM TEACHER AND COLLABORATION WITH THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR. GREAT OF EDUCATION MR. NOW.

>> YEAH I SEE THAT IT'S PROBABLY BETTER TO START A MAN AND SAY THAT LOCAL SCHOOLS INITIATE THE CURRICULUM. I THINK IT SHOULD BE DISTRICT SET THE TONE.

ARE WE EDUCATING STUDENTS IN OUR DISTRICT HAD A CLASS WITH TEACHER DICTATE THAT IT LENDS TO BUNCH OF INDIVIDUAL LIVES ON SCHOOLS. I DON'T THINK THAT'S WHERE WE NEED TO BE GOING DIRECTLY NOW SANDERSON. PERHAPS YOU COULD DEFINITELY GIVE IT BUT YOU KNOW WHATEVER THAT MIGHT BE. HOW WE CHANGE IT IS UP TO THE BOARD TO MAKE A CHANGE. I THINK WE THINK WE NEED TO DEVELOP YOU SOME OPTIONS AND YOU KNOW AND INTEREST RATES TO IF I MAY, MR. CAMPBELL. THIS IS HENDERSON.

WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE A PROCESS BY WHICH WE ARE REVIEWING LOCAL BOARD APPROVED APPLICATIONS IN DETAIL. WE'RE PUTTING OUT A REQUEST TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE AN ALIGNMENT TO THE STATE STANDARDS WHICH REQUIRE A SYLLABUS THERE.

IT'S A SERIES OF SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS THAT WE NOT ONLY POSSIBLE TO THE TEACHER BUT THE ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM OF EACH SCHOOL. AT THIS TIME MRS. HENDERSON AND MYSELF ARE GOING TO DO THAT. THIS PROCESS REVIEWING COURSES AND WORKING FOR REFINEMENT AND IT'S NOT JUST AN OPEN DECISION BECAUSE WE'RE LOOKING AT THIS FROM IF I WANT TO TEACH IT AT MY SCHOOL. WE WANT ITEMS TO BE AVAILABLE TO BE AVAILABLE IN YOUR SCHOOL AS WELL. WE'RE TRYING TO ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING IS ALIGNED AS WELL

[01:50:01]

DOCUMENTS THROUGH THIS PROCESS. >> I'M NOT I MEAN I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS NOT EXACTLY WHAT I'M SAYING BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT WE AS THE DISTRICT NEED TO CREATE A

TEMPLATE FOR HOW WE EDUCATE AND WHAT WE EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS. >> AND I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE LOCALIZED. I THINK IT TO BE DISTRICT WIDE. I THINK ALL THOSE YELLOW COURSE OF THE LOCAL BASE THERE WHEREVER THEY LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD APPROVED, WHATEVER.

>> I THINK WE NEED TO DRIVE THE BUS. AND IN TERMS OF THAT WE NEED TO SET THE DIRECTION ON HOW WE WERE EDUCATING WHAT WE'RE EDUCATING ON.

AND THEN STUDENT TEACHERS CAN PICK FROM THAT SMORGASBORD. IF YOU MAKE OF SUBJECTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE THERE AND IT'S BEEN APPROVED ALREADY BY US, IT'S NOT SENT TO US AS AN INDIVIDUAL TEACHER DEVELOPING A PROGRAM THEMSELVES. YOU CAN MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS BUT I THINK WE NEED TO START SETTING THE TONE OF THE CURRICULUM OTHER THAN WHAT THE

STATE DRIVES WHAT WE DRIVE LOCALLY. >> THAT'S THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING. MR. CAMPBELL, I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE APPLICATION PROCESS DOES INCLUDE THE BOARD. SO IT DOESN'T IT IT'S NOT LIKE A TEACHER BUT AS DR. STRATTON STATED, EVEN AS WE REVIEW IT, THAT'S NOT THE END. WE WE DO WE WILL END THE PROCESS. THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE INFORMED BEING SURE OF THAT APPLICATION WITH WE HAVE FOUR PENDING APPLICATIONS THAT WILL BE SHARED WITH THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE. SO NO, WE DON'T MAKE THE DECISION AND NOT KEEP YOU ALL INFORMED. THAT'S WHY I CALLED LOCAL BOARD.

SO THAT WE'LL BE SHARED WITH THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE FOR INPUT AND IN REGARDS TO THE COURSES THAT WE HAVE PENDING RIGHT NOW, THE FOUR APPLICATIONS IN THERE.

WHAT I'M SAYING IS LET'S GO BACK TO CAMPBELL'S DISCUSSION. LET'S SAY WE AS A DISTRICT DECIDE THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY WHICH PERSONALLY I THINK SHOULD BE TAUGHT AT ALL SCHOOLS FIRST OF ALL WE HAVE TO HAVE THAT LISTED AS A SUBJECT BY THE DISTRICT FOR ALL THE

TEACHERS TO PICK. >> WELL, I'M NOT A TEACHER SUBMITTING IT TO ME.

S. THERE YOU WANT TO TEACH AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY THIS PARTICULAR YEAR, THIS PARTICULAR CLASS I THINK UNDER THE STATE WHEREVER IT IS WE NEED TO HAVE OUR PROGRAM AND WHATEVER THE STATE REQUIRES AS CURRICULUM. OK.

THAT MUST BE DONE THAT THE DISTRICT HAD TO HAVE SOME SOME TITLES THAT HAVE TO BE.

DEFINITELY THAT'S THEN THAT THIRD TIER MIGHT BE A TEACHER INDEPENDENT.

THEY'RE DEVELOPING US WELL AS I GET CLOSE HALF A SEMESTER OF SEMESTER WHATEVER THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY INTERIM. BUT WE HAVE TO DRIVE THE DIRECTION OF OUR EDUCATION AND THIS PARTICULAR DISTRICT. THAT'S WHAT I THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

I DON'T I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. I JUST THINK WE NEED TO READ YOU PROCESS FROM A DISTRICT LEADERSHIP STANDPOINT. MR. CAMPBELL, THIS IS.

SO DR. RODRIGUEZ HERE IN AS I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS THAT ESSENTIALLY THAT THERE THERE MAY BE A CERTAIN SET OF COURSES THAT WE AS A DISTRICT WANT TO MAKE SURE ARE OFFERED AND TAKING PLACE OR ARE AVAILABLE THERE FOR EVERY SCHOOL WITHIN THE DISTRICT? RIGHT. BUT THAT THEN IF IF IF THERE ARE SOME ADDITIONAL COURSES WHERE MIGHT BE SPECIFIC TO TO A PROGRAM OR SOMETHING THAT THAT

A PARTICULAR SCHOOL WANTS TO OFFER OR HAVE, THAT'S FINE. >> BUT YOU JUST LOOKING TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE SPECIFIC SET OF COURSES THAT OR OFFERINGS COURSE OFFERINGS THAT THAT WOULD BE THERE DISTRICT WIDE. IS THAT RIGHT? AND DRIVEN BY THE DISTRICT. YEAH. AND DRIVEN DAVE, I GOT YOU.

WE WANT TO GO TO YOU BECAUSE WE EVENTUALLY EXPECT THOSE COURSES TO BE A PART OF BEAUFORT COUNTY'S SCHOOL DISTRICT EDUCATION GRADUATES. THEY'VE GOT THAT IN THEIR CURRICULUM AND AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY. IS THAT IS IS ONE THAT'S VERY DEAR TO MY HEART AND SHOULD BE DEAR TO THIS DISTRICT AND GIVEN AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY IN THIS COUNTRY AND ITS COUNTY, I CAN'T IMAGINE A STUDENT GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND

[01:55:03]

NOT KNOWING WHAT THE GULLAH CULTURE IS. >> GO ON WORLDWIDE AND SAY THAT THEY'RE GRADUATES FROM HILTON HIGH SCHOOL. OH, RIGHT.

SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, THERE ARE OTHER COMPONENTS TO IT. YOU KNOW THE OCEAN YOU KNOW CERTAIN THINGS YOU KNOW, ACCOUNT IS UNIQUE TO OKATIE AND A STUDENT WHO IS GRADUALLY

SHOULD HAVE A GOOD EDUCATION ON THAT PARTICULAR THING. >> SO THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY I'M PROUD WITH THAT. AND I YOU KNOW, I HAVE A. YOU KNOW, THE REAL CONVERSATION AND I'M SURE OF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DOLPHINS STRADDLES AND I WOULD DISCUSS FURTHER AND ALSO SHARE WITH THE LEADERSHIP WITHIN THE SCHOOLS THIS VISIT.

>> THANK YOU. SO AS I UNDERSTAND SO THIS LIST HAS BEEN COMPILED OVER THE YEARS. AND THEN EVERY YEAR IT NEEDS TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

CORRECT. >> THAT IS STATE MANDATED FROM THE OFFICE OF ACCOUNTABILITY, WHAT IS CALLED UP. SO WHEN DOES THIS LIST EVER WINNOWED OUT OR WHEN IS THIS

THESE COURSES THAT MAY HAVE BEEN APPROVED A DECADE AGO? >> BECAUSE AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE'RE TALKING HERE. WHAT ARE THEY VETTED? WHAT I MEAN WHAT WE WHAT DO WE KNOW IS ACTUALLY IN THESE THESE COURSES? AND IS IT NOT TIME TO MAYBE TAKE THIS LIST DOWN A BIT? SO WHAT'S WHAT? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?

>> DOLPHINS PADDLES AND I HAVE REVIEWED THE LIST AND THERE AND WHAT ACTUALLY HAVE AN ACTUAL MEETING TO REVIEW OUR COURSE OFFERING BECAUSE WE'RE PREPARING FOR NEXT SCHOOL YEAR RIGHT NOW AND IN SOME OF THE COURSES THAT ARE ON THE LIST VERY WELL MAY COME UP.

I WAS HERE WITH YOU AS FAR AS THE COURSE OFFERING. WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN A DATABASE AS IT AND ALSO THE CURRICULUM. SO THERE ARE SOME COURSES ON HERE THAT YOU ARE ASKING ME THAT WE WOULD POSSIBLY REMOVE. THE ANSWER IS YES BUT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE SHARED WITH ALSO WITH OUR LEADERSHIP TEAM AND WITH THE PRINCIPALS. WE'VE SHARED THIS WITH ALL PRINCIPALS TO REVIEW AND LET KNOW WHAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO OFFER NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

I WORKED WITH THE PRINCIPAL TODAY WHO'S IDENTIFIED OF COURSE ON THE ISSUE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER NEXT YEAR. SO THE ANSWER IS DO WE NEED TO REVIEW AND EDIT THE LIST? I WOULD TELL YOU THE LIST WAS LONGER THAN THIS. WE'VE TAKEN OFF PROBABLY 40 OR 50 COURSES THIS YEAR AND THIS WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND REMOVE THEM FROM OUR COURSE OFFERINGS.

THERE WAS MUCH LARGER THAN THIS. >> ARE THERE ARE THERE ANY COURSES ON HERE THAT THAT ARE NEW THIS YEAR? WHICH ONES OF THESE ARE THIS

EXTENSIVE LIST ARE NEW? >> THAT ONE OF THE MOST RECENT ONES IS ADAPTIVE P FOR THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. AND THAT COURSE WAS SUBMITTED TO THREE YEARS AGO TWO TO THREE YEARS AGO MAYBE OF A HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO ADAPT A P E FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WHO COULD NOT WHO HAD MAYBE HANDICAPS WHO COULD NOT PERFORM AS ALL STUDENTS IN THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASS. SO THEY CREATED A ADAPTIVE P FOR SPIRIT STUDENTS BUT ALSO HAD REGULAR JUNIOR STUDENTS IN THERE TO SUPPORT THEM.

>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD CLASS TO HAVE FOR SURE. AND OTHER SCHOOLS HAVE OFFER

NOW OFFERING THAT COURSE AND NOT THOSE BATTLES MAKE IT GROW. >> WHEN WE REVIEW THESE COURSES WITH THE PRINCIPAL WE WILL LOOK AT IT AS A DISTRICT WIDE OFFERING IN ALL THE SCHOOLS NOW

OFFERING THAT COURSE. >> SO THAT'S THE MOST RECENT OR THAT THE MOST RECENT COURSE

OPERATE UNDER HIS RECTITUDE THREE YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW. >> AND NOW WE'VE HAD CREATIVE

WRITING FROM HIGH SCHOOL WAS A YEAR OF CREATIVE WRITING. >> YOU SEE CREATIVE WRITING TOO. AND I WILL TELL YOU ON AN AVERAGE SCHOOL YEAR WE ARE GET MAYBE TWO COURSES. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE FLOODED WITH 10 OR 15 COURSES AND RIGHT

NOW WE HAVE FOUR PENDING FOR THE NEW YEAR. >> ONE FROM BATTERY CREEK, TWO FROM BEAUFORT HIGH SCHOOL, ONE AND ONE MAY RIBAUT HIGH SCHOOL .

>> SO WE SAID MRS. FREDERIC AND JUST ESCAPED YOUR POINT AND THEN PUT TO THEM TO MR. CAMPBELL. WE ARE GOING TO STUDY THE PROCESS IN JANUARY TO REVIEW HAD BEEN THIS LISTING. BUT BASICALLY WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS THAT WE ANY AUDITING WHAT WE'RE UTILIZING SO WE CAN CLEAN UP OUR SCHOOL AND HAVE A BETTER ALIGNMENT SUCH AS WE GO INTO MORE REPORTING SYSTEMS ARE AVAILABLE. OF COURSE WORK HAS TO BE NUMBERS HAS TO MEET THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT UTILIZE LET'S REMOVE WE COULD OBVIOUSLY ACTIVATE THEM. I BRING IT FORWARD TO ACADEMIC COMMITTEE SO I WANT TO BRING THAT WE ARE WORKING ON THAT THEY'VE CONDUCTED THE BACKGROUND INTERNAL AUDIT OF WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE PAID UP AND TO SPEAK AND TO SPEAK SPECIFICALLY TO MR. CAMPBELL ARE THE COMMONALITY OF A GRADUATE OF PEOPLE CAN'T BE FOR COUNTY.

[02:00:06]

>> I BELIEVE HIS ROBOT WAS BEFORE ME. >> SORRY.

WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION? >> THAT'S I BELIEVE THE ROBOT WAS BEFORE ME.

I'M NOT IN THE QUEUE I HAVE. GO AHEAD, MR. SMITH. OK.

THANK YOU. WELL, FIRST ALLY TO TOO EXACT. I WAS I WAS SHY.

I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING THAT MR. CAMPBELL SAYING AND I LIKE TO EVEN TAKE A LITTLE FURTHER.

I REMEMBER BACK WHILE BACK WHEN THE NEWS AND EVERYTHING. NOW IT WAS I WAS ON THE NEWS THAT AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY IS A MAN IS A MANDATORY LAW AND HERE IS A LAW I BELIEVE IN IS A PART OF OUR CONSTITUTION THAT IS A REQUIREMENT.

IT WAS REQUIRED TO BE TAUGHT AND THAT THE CITADEL THE CITADEL IN CHARLESTON WAS THE WAS ONE THAT WE HAD JUST MADE IT A MANDATORY COURSE BECAUSE IT WAS THE LAW AND FOR US NOT TO HAVE THOSE DONE IN ITSELF IS A PROBLEM. SO THAT BRINGS ME TO THE QUESTION ARE WE SURE THAT BY LAW THAT WE GIVEN THAT WE'RE DOING ALL THE MANDATORY COURSES ? THAT BEING SAID, MR. SMITH, IN U.S. HISTORY COURTS OFFERING THAT IS A STATE COURSE OFFERING THERE ARE STANDARDS THAT ADDRESS AFRICAN-AMERICAN

HISTORY IN OUR U.S. HISTORY COURSE AND THEN. >> BUT AS FAR AS EIGHT AS FAR AS A COURSE ITSELF I WOULD DOUBLE CHECK. BUT I KNOW THAT THE STANDARDS ARE A LINE IN THE US HISTORY COURSE OFFERING THAT ADDRESS. AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES FROM

WHAT I FROM THE WAY I DO SOME RESEARCH AS WELL. >> BUT FROM THE WAY I UNDERSTOOD WAS IT THAT IT IS NOT A PART OF U.S. HISTORY, AFRICAN AMERICAN COURSE IS A LAW. IT IS REQUIRED AND THAT'S WHY PSEUDO PUT IT PUTTING UP UNDER ONE OF THE CLASSES REQUIRED BECAUSE IT WAS LAW AND THAT'S WHY DID THE US.

THIS IS PUT IT PUT IT OUT THERE. IF I IF I IF I IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY SO SO SO SO THAT MAKES ME WANT I GUESS THAT MAKES ME WONDER HAVE WE CHECKED OUT MICHELLE THAT ALL THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS ARE DONE OUR COURSES ARE ON HERE AS WELL

AS WELL. >> AGAIN, THESE ARE THESE ARE NOT STATE COURTS.

THESE ARE LOCAL BOARD. I WOULD DEFINITELY CHECK WITH HIS STATE ONE TOMORROW IN REGARDS TO COURSE OFFERING UNDER SOCIAL STUDIES TO SEE IF THAT IS THE CASE.

AND I SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH THE BOARD AT IT. >> ALSO I HAVE ROOMS TO MR. WHOLEHEARTEDLY ABOUT THIS DISTRICT. WE YOU KNOW, HE SHE SAID IT IN A VERY ELEGANT MISERLY WAY BUT BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, JUST TO READ AND WRITE WHAT HE SAID AND TO GIVE IT A LITTLE MORE CLARIFICATION. WE NEED SOME DISH AND SOME ORGANIZATION AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL AND I AGREE BECAUSE I THINK THAT GIVING PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS TOO MUCH AUTHORITY OVER THE CREST AND ALSO WHAT THAT DOES IS THAT EVERY SCHOOL EVEN UNDER THE COVER 19TH WHAT WE FIND IS THAT EVERY SCHOOL IS HAVING IT IS RUNNING A DIFFERENT PROGRAM AND I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE SOME CONSISTENCY ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND WHAT THIS RIGHT AND WHAT THIS MAY MATURE THE CHILD WE ARE THAT WE'RE LOOKING OVER TODAY IT SHOWS THAT IN THE WAY IT'S BEEN PRESENTED IT SHOWS THAT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL THAT THE DISTRICT HAS HAS TURNED OVER THE REINS TO THE TO THE SCHOOLS TO INTRODUCE TO PRINCIPALS. THEY ARE BETTER THAN THEY ARE BASICALLY GIVEN THE PRINCIPALS IN THE TEACHERS THE AUTHORITY TO DO WHAT THEY THINK IS GOOD FOR THEIR SCHOOLS.

AND I THINK THAT'S A PROBLEM BECAUSE TO WHAT DEGREE? MY QUESTION WILL BE WHAT DEGREE ARE WE CONSISTENT IN THAT WE HAVE A WE ARE THE SAME THING GOING ON FAIR AND EQUITABLE ACROSS THE BOARD AND TO MEET MY MASTER WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEERS AND I'VE EXPRESSED THAT TO ME ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AND I WILL LOOK AT MY KIDS SCHOOL AT ONE SCHOOL THEY DO THIS AND MY NEPHEW SCHOOL THEY DO I. THERE'S NO CONSISTENCY IN EVERY IN EVERY STATE EVERY SCHOOL DOES IS BASICALLY DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT WHAT THEY WANT. SO MATTER OF FACT I WENT ABOUT MY QUESTION IS WHEN DID THIS

HAVE TO BE ONE OF THE ONES THAT HAVE TO BE SORT OF FINALIZED? >> THE DEADLINE FOR THE SCHOOLS

[02:05:01]

SO THE PRESS SHOULD JUST GET MORE CLARIFICATION. >> THIS IS MY QUESTION.

SO WHAT ARE YOU WHAT ARE YOU ASKING FOR FROM THE BOARD TODAY?

>> THE STATE REQUIRES YOU TO APPROVE REVIEW AND APPROVE THE LIST AND WE HAVE IT IN THE MINUTES EXCEPT THE LIST OF BEAT TO SAY THESE ARE LBJ COURSES AND IS NOTED IN THE MINUTES.

>> OK. THANK YOU. AT THIS TIME THIS TIME I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SEND THIS TO THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE TO FURTHER TO FURTHER GO THROUGH THIS LIST AND MAKE IT MAKE MAKE IT MADE IT MAKE EDITS AND BRING IT BACK TO

BRING BACK TOWARD TO THE BOARD CHICKEN. >> I THINK THAT'S NOT LET ROBYN

GET EMOTIONAL FROM THE SCREEN. >> SO THE MOTION IS TO MOVE THE DOCUMENT THIS DOCUMENT ON LOCAL BOARD APPROVE COURSES AND ACADEMIC COMMITTEE FOR THE COMMITTEE TO MAKE EDITS AND BRING BACK TO THE BOARD MOTION BY MR. SMITH AND SECOND BY MR. DOWLING.

>> MADAM CHAIR, YES, SIR. I'M GOING TO BE WOWED BY WHAT MADE THIS MOTION TO.

>> OH, PARDON ME RIBAUT OR WE USUALLY LET IN THE PERSON WHO MADE THE MOTION SPEAK ABOUT THE

MOTION. >> OKAY, GO AHEAD. >> I MEAN WHAT YOU GOT WHAT YOU GOT, MS. RABBI? GOOD.

WELL, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I WAS IN LINE TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE BUT I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS MOTION BECAUSE THESE COURSES THAT ARE LISTED ON YOUR I DON'T THINK THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE HAS BEEN KNOWLEDGE TO GO GAMING OUT THESE COURSES. THESE ARE NOT THESE ARE ELECTIVE COURSES AND YOU KNOW, WE CAN SEE WHERE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN USED FOR A WHILE.

YOU LIKE MY QUESTION WAS EVERYTHING THAT'S ON THIS LIST I ASSUME WE'VE OFFERED AT ONE TIME AND HOW WE OFFERED STUDY HALL FOR PRE-K STUDENTS. WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT SEEMS YOU KNOW I DON'T KNOW. I THAT'S A QUESTION I HAVE. BUT WERE THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE TO GO THROUGH AND PRUNE THIS LIST? I DON'T THINK WE HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE TO DO THAT. YOU KNOW, WE WE CAN SEE WHICH ONES HAVEN'T BEEN USED.

EVERY ONE THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED ON THIS LIST EVERY ONE THAT'S ON THIS LIST HAS BEEN APPROVED BY THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY. SO FOR US TO GO THROUGH AND SAY NO, WE'RE GOING TO THROW OUT THE OTHER BOARDS WORK WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHAT WAS PRESENTED. I I CAN'T SUPPORT THAT MR. GEIER.

>> I MUST HAVE GONE TO SLEEP LAST YEAR. >> I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE.

THIS RAISES HUGE LINES FOR ME. I I'M AMAZED THAT SOMEBODY AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY NOT BEING TAUGHT NOT TO BE VIEWED HERE IN GUILFORD COUNTY. COME ON.

BUT I ALSO SEE, YOU KNOW, HISPANIC CULTURE NOT. I ALSO SEE I DON'T SEE CIVICS OR GOVERNMENT OR THINGS SAID ARE IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN. TO HAVE WHEN THEY GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. I SEE. I AM SHOCKED AT THIS.

I REALLY AM. I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING IT IF I HAVE SEEN THIS LAST YEAR.

I WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING THEN. I DON'T REMEMBER SEEING THIS.

MAYBE I WASN'T THERE. BUT THIS THIS IS DISTURBING TO ME REALLY.

THE MOST DISTURBING THING I'VE SEEN IN MY TWO YEARS HERE. >> HOLD ON A SECOND.

[02:10:06]

>> I WAS AT THAT CIVICS AND GOVERNMENT. THERE WAS A STATE APPROVED COURSES THAT MANDATED FOR STUDENTS TO TAKE. RIGHT.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HEARING THIS UNDER SOME I WAS STATING THAT CIVICS AND GOVERNMENT ARE STATE APPROVED COURSE AND REQUIRED AND MANDATED FOR STUDENTS TO COMPLETE PRIOR TO

GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL. >> THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S SOME OF THE CONFUSION.

>> RIGHT. BUT THIS LIST THAT WE'RE SEEING RIGHT HERE BEFORE US IS IS AN

ELECTIVE WHICH IT IS NOT THE RIGHT WIRED COURSE. >> SO I THINK THAT'S THE KEY THING THAT'S GETTING TO YOU FROM THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. SIMPLY THIS IS OUR ANNUAL REVIEW OF LOCAL BOARDS THROUGH PORTIONS THEIRS DOESN'T SAY ELECTED CAUTIONS HAVE MAYBE IT SHOULD MR. CAUSING SEAT GAINS OR BE ON STATE ACTIVITY CODE OF COURSES AND EVERYONE OF COURSE IS UNDER A STATE GRADUATE PROFILE OF A GRADUATE OF THE TWENTY FOUR REQUIRED FOUR STATES AS WELL AS TWO KEY COURSES REQUIRED AT SCHOOL AND AT ELEMENTARY AT THE WORKSHOP I SHARED WITH YOU THAT THE INTEGRATION OF AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDIES IS A STATE REQUIREMENT STARTING AT 4TH GRADE IN SOUTH CAROLINA THOUGH THAT IS TO BE INCREASED EACH YEAR GRADUALLY SOCIAL STUDIES INTEGRATE IS A REQUIREMENT OF SIX AS WELL AS A REQUIREMENT OF CONSTITUTION.

>> SO THOSE ARE SEPARATE COURSES ON THERE AND I WILL USE THE LANGUAGE LET'S SAY THE STATE CODE DIRECTORY OF COURSES SOUTH CAROLINA REFERS TO THAT AS WELL AS THE ACTIVITY CODE THESE CODE COURSES THAT WERE GENERATED AND APPROVED IN THE PAST BY DO AN ALIGNMENT OF STANDARDS THAT THEY SHOULD BE IN PROFILE AND FIRE APPROVED .

>> WHAT I DID WHEN I FIRST CAME ON TO DISCUSS IS I DIDN'T SHARE OR GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS WILL BE GOING THROUGH ALL MY SCHOOL TO KEEP MORE OF OUR FORCES THAT ARE ALIGNED AND BEING UTILIZED SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A BETTER REPORT SYSTEM AS WE THEN GO FORWARD WITH FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS OF TEACHERS COMPLETE FORMATION. IT'S EXTENSIVE.

I'M AN INGREDIENT IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU. COLONEL GEIER I'M GOING TO REALLY MISS THIS FRAGRANCE I THINK WOULD BE A PROCESS BY WHICH EVEN MR. SMITH TO THIN THIS OUT. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE ARE COMMITTEES THE PLACE OLDER FOR THAT SUBJECT TO THE CONTENT AND COMPLEXITY OF VIEW. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK MORE.

WHAT YOU LESS UTILIZE IS ANY OF THE CHILDREN STILL IN OUR SYSTEM? WHY? IF THEY'RE STILL LIVE IN THE SYSTEM YOU MUST KEEP THE COURSE . EMPOWER SCHOOL UNTIL THEY GRADUATE.

THERE'S ALSO WORK TRANSCRIPTS KEEPING THINGS LIKE CHILDREN AND THEN PHOTO THIS PROCESS LEADING LADY AND GIVING I'M JUST MAKING A RECOMMENDATION FOR DISCUSSION.

>> OK. SO SINCE WE I I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR ME IS THAT LOOK WE'VE HAD A BUNCH OF HANDS UP BEFORE MR. SMITH MADE THE MOTION SO I REALLY CAN'T TELL WHO WANTS TO SPEAK NOW ON THE MOTION SO IS THERE ANYBODY WHO HAS NOT SPOKEN THUS FAR AND I THINK I'M ONE OF THEM WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE MOTION ON THE TABLE.

>> YES. >> NOT OK. >> I THINK IT'S ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE FOR THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE TO TAKE THIS UP IN THE FORM OF HEARINGS COOLIDGE MEMBERS EXPRESSED STRONG CONCERN. I THINK IT COULD BE BENEFICIAL TO HAVE IN MAY EVOLVE INTO A BROADER DISCUSSION OF CURRICULUM AND WHAT THE BOARD IF IT SO DESIRES TO INVOLVE ITSELF THINKS IMPORTANT.

IT JUST TAKES A LITTLE IMAGINATION TO CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITIES OF A DIALOG AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL BETWEEN COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND HAVE DR.

STRATOS THERE AS A TECHNICAL EXPERT. I SUPPORT THIS MOTION ENTIRELY.

I THINK IT WOULD BE A VERY USEFUL EXERCISE FOR THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE THAT CAN

BENEFIT THE WHOLE BOARD. >> DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THE MOTION? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I'M SENSING THAT THERE WERE TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS HERE.

[02:15:06]

ARE THERE BEAUFORT COUNTY REQUIREMENTS SO THAT WE PROFILE OH BEAUFORT COUNTY GRADUATE? THAT WOULD INCLUDE THESE TOPICS THAT WE CAN CONSIDER IMPORTANT. BUT I THINK THAT'S A DIFFERENT ISSUE FROM THIS. WE WHICH IS JUST APPROVING ELECTIVE APPROVED COURSES THAT

THAT OUR EDUCATORS CAN CHOOSE FROM. >> AND I'M 100 PERCENT FOR HAVING THAT LARGER CONVERSATION. AND I THINK THAT SHOULD PROBABLY START THE ACADEMICS COMMITTEE. SO I DOWN.

FORGIVE ME IF THIS WAS ALREADY STATED BY JERRY. WHAT'S THE DEADLINE TO HAVE A VOTE ON THIS FOR THE BOARD TO PROVE THIS? THERE IS NO DEADLINE.

THAT'S STATE POLICY THAT THE BOARD MUST REVIEW AND APPROVE EACH YEAR.

IT DOES NOT HAVE A DATE SPECIFICALLY AND THE POLICY EXCELLENT OKATIE OPPOSED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE MINUTES. ALL RIGHT THAT HELPS ME WITH MY VOTE ON THIS MOTION.

>> THE THE MEMO THAT PREFACES THE REPORT IS DATED OCTOBER 26 .

SO OUR SENIOR STAFF HAS HAD THIS FOR SOME TIME. HAS ANY COMMITTEE OR THE BOARD LOOKED SINCE THE ISSUANCE OF THAT MEMO OR IS THIS OUR FIRST TIME HAVING TO HAPPEN THIS TIME AND AND REVIEWING IT AT THIS EVENING'S BOARD MEETING DARK SHADOWS SHOP IT'S A STORAGE SHED WHICH WE SPONSORED AT I BELIEVE IT JUST PART OF BEING ABLE TO GET IT ON ON

AGENDA. >> WE'VE HAD A FEW ITEMS ON AGENDA EARLIER AND SO I THINK WHAT'S MORE THE COMPLICATION THAT PRACTICE MA'AM I DO RECOGNIZE THE DATE ON IT BUT IT WAS WITH REGARD TO BEING ABLE TO GET ON A GENUINE WORK AND THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

>> AND I'M RELIEVED TO HEAR THAT THERE'S NO WE'RE. SO IF THERE ARE BOARD MEMBERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO HASH THIS OUT FURTHER AT THE COMMITTEE AT THE COMMITTEE LEVEL I CERTAINLY WOULD NOT STAND IN THEIR WAY TONIGHT AND WOULD SUPPORT THIS MOTION.

>> SO IS THERE ANYBODY WHO HAS NOT SPOKEN ON THE MOTION THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THE

MOTION? >> I'VE MADE THE MOTION BUT I HAVE NOT SPOKE ON THE MOTION LIKE IN TERMS I THINK THAT WE NEED TO START DRIVING THE BUS NOW ON THIS AND ON THE ON THIS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO START ACTUALLY PUTTING OUR MONEY AND OUR ASHES WHERE OUR MOUTH IS BECAUSE OF THE SHIP THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IS REALLY ONE OF THE BOARD GOALS AND THIS IS SOMETHING TO THIS IS A PLACE WHERE WE CAN START AT AND YOU KNOW, I HEAR PEOPLE SAY THAT WE NOT EXPERT AND WE'RE EXPERTS AND WE'RE NOT DOCTORS AT THIS WE'RE NOT DOCTORS OF PICKING OUT WHAT'S WHICH WHICH OF COURSE MAYBE WE ALL HAVE TO BE EXPERTS.

>> DID YOU BEGIN TO HEAR ME SO FAR WAS WHEN GUYS THAT SOMEONE MIGHT NOT MEAN IT IS NOT BUT WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE TO BE EXPERTS. I THINK THAT ONLY THAT WE THAT IT TAKES IS PEOPLE WITH GOOD COMMON SENSE BECAUSE WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO FOR AN EXAMPLE WHEN SOMEONE GOES TO GO FOR THEIR DOCTORATE DEGREES, THE THEY MAY HAVE A PLUM IN THE ROOM, THEY MAY HAVE A CONFERENCE IN A ROOM, MAYBE HAVE A A DOCTOR OR A TEACHER.

PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT WALKS WHO COME TOGETHER TO ACTUALLY TACKLE SITUATIONS.

SO WE'RE WITH THAT. YOU SAID WE WILL HAVE ALWAYS BE EXPERT TO GET THE CONVERSATION STARTED BECAUSE WE WERE ELECTED TO STILL LIVE THERE JUST TO LEAD THIS DISTRICT AND WHERE WE WHERE WE WHERE WE SEE IT NEEDS TO BE. AND I THINK THAT THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO JUST THAT. MAZURSKY SAID OH SHE JUST ASKED THE QUESTION WHEN WHEN WAS THIS INSTRUMENT CREATED OR WHEN DID THE COMPANIES START AND WHEN AND WHEN IT GOES TO ACADEMIC AND THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO BE THE BOARD MEMBERS WHO SPEAK ACADEMIC.

I MEAN ACADEMIC COMMITTEE PRINCIPALS CAN COME TO THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE MEANING THEY

[02:20:03]

THIRTY THREE SMALL DISHES WITHIN OUR DISTRICT. I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO BE ONE DISTRICT AND EVERYONE COME TO THE TABLE AND START MAKING DECISIONS ■BECAUSE THAT'STHAT'SA

[02:37:40]

[02:37:44]

[02:37:48]

SHE THOUGHT YOU'D LIKE TO ACTIVE OR IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT WITH ELECTIVES BUT I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IS THAT WHEN WHEN WHEN WHEN WE WHEN WE ARE ELECTED AND WE SAID THAT THE EDUCATE THE DEAL THAT THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IS ONE OF THE BOARD'S NUMBER ONE GOALS AND WE ARE AFRAID TO START THE CONVERSATION WHEN WHEN WE KNOW WE NEED TO START THE CONVERSATION AND DO AND DO DO I DO OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND OUR DUTIES TO OUR COMMUNITY? I THINK IT IS A VERY DISHEARTENED FORCE TO PUT OUR RUBBER STAMP RUBBER STAMP AS OUR BRAIN DEAD AND THE DOCUMENTS THAT THE DISTRICT FORCE THIS AFTERNOON AND FOR THE DISTRICT TO CONFORM TO CONTINUALLY ALLOW THE DISTRICT TO SOMEONE MAY TAKE SOME PEOPLE MAY TAKE THEM UNDER I'LL TAKE OFFENSE TO HAVE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS TO THE WAY THIS IS BRAND BROUGHT BEFORE US IN THE WAY OF STUFF HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO US IN THE PAST. I HAVE TO I CANNOT CONTINUE IGNORING THIS ISSUE THAT WE HAVE 30 THREE SMALL DISTRICTS WITHIN THE KIND OF SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT IS A PROBLEM.

WE HAVE CHINESE EMERGING COURSES AND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS BUT WE DON'T HAVE THEM IN THIS IN THE SAME CLUSTER ARE GOING TO 6 AND 7 GRADE. SO WHY DO WE HAVE THEM IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOL? I MEAN THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IF WE'RE EVER THE KIDS I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE LEARNING LIKE THOSE DIFFERENT THOSE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

THAT IS DYSFUNCTIONAL AND THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THAT THAT THAT WAS A PART POLL.

THE BOARD'S JOB. AND SO WHEN WE USE RUBBER ITEMS LIKE THIS RIGHT HERE AND WE DON'T ADDRESS IT AND WE DON'T LOOK AT IT, WE HAVE TO BE THE SMARTEST PERSON IN THE ROOM TO UNDERSTAND AND SEE THAT THERE'S THE ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FORCED TO TAKE OUR TIME AND WORK WITH AND NOT MAKE THE FINAL DECISION ON IT BUT TO UNDERSTAND AND TO LOOK INTO IT UNTIL WE START DOING THESE THINGS. WE'RE THE TEAM THAT WAS GOING

[02:40:04]

THANK YOU. SO I HAVE NOT I'M I'M A DEMOCRAT TO ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT

THIS. >> NO TALKING ABOUT THIS LIST. I GOT SOME QUESTIONS.

FIRST OF ALL. RIGHT. AND HAVE PROBABLY SEVERAL QUESTIONS. WHAT IS THAT? THERE IS NO LEGEND WITH THIS.

LIKE WHAT'S ON HERE? YOU CAN TELL IN HIGH SCHOOL MIDDLE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHAT'S X? LET ME X IS THE CODE EMPOWER SCHOOL THAT STATE THE CREDIT IS

ELECTIVE CREDIT. >> I'M SORRY. >> CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT YOU SAID? YES. THERE ARE CODES THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE IDENTIFIERS EMPOWER SCHOOL. WELL WHERE YOU SEE THE X THAT MEANS THAT IS AN ELECTIVE CREDIT X MEAN ELECTIVE. SO WHY DON'T AN ELECTIVE ALL AT AN ELECTIVE CREDITS ARE ONLY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL OR MIDDLE SCHOOL OR HIGH SCHOOL COURSES.

>> THANK YOU. NEXT QUESTION PPA. YES LAMB.

WHAT'S UP? AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IS NOT ALLOWED AS A LIKE.

OK TRICIA BRING THIS ANDERSON. IT'S LIKE ON THE BOARD. >> IT'S.

IT'S A JOB SKILLS. I USED FIRST. IT'S CALLED A SPACE LAB.

I CAN'T REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT IT STANDS FOR THOUGH. OK.

BUT THAT THAT TELLS ME WHAT'S ADDED API BIG ABBOTT IS A PROBLEM FOR FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS THAT HAVE NOT GONE FAMILY MEMBERS THAT HAVE NOT GONE TO COLLEGE AND TEACH THEM COLLEGE CAREER COLLEGE AWARENESS SKILLS SUCH AS WRITING SKILLS, HOW TO WRITE A RESEARCH PAPER, HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY AND IT IS A NATIONAL PROGRAM.

>> IT STANDS FOR ACHIEVEMENT THE INDIVIDUAL DETERMINATION. >> THANK EXPLAINS THAT IS A

PROBLEM THAT WILL END I THINK DR. SPRATT AS WELL. >> ADD ON IS A PROBLEM THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. BRING IT BACK TO THE DISTRICT. I THINK THERE'S BEEN CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT BUT IT HAS BEEN USED IN THE DISTRICT AND IT STARTED WELL BRANCH SEVERAL YEARS AGO. OK, SO SO EVERYBODY SAID AT LEAST TWICE I THINK THAT THIS

THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT ON THIS. >> WHY CAN'T WE REVISE THIS LIST AS RIBAUT AND HAVE THE ADMINISTRATION COME BACK WITH US WITH A RECOMMENDATION FOR WHAT? WELL, NOW HEARING OUR DISCUSSION TONIGHT AND REALIZING THAT THIS SEEMS LIKE A LIKE TOO MANY THINGS HERE. AND MANY OF THEM MAY NOT EVEN BE USED.

WHY CAN'T WE WORK ON IT THAT WAY AND HAVE YOU HAVE YOU COME BACK AND IN JANUARY AT OUR MEETING WITH A TRIMMED DOWN LIST? IS THAT TOTALLY UNREASONABLE IF

ASKED FOR STRATOS DR. RODRIGUEZ? >> I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S A REASONABLE DOUBT. WELL, IT'S IT CAN'T BE REVIEWED THAT IN AN ATTEMPT TO GAME WITH EMPOWER SCHOOL TO SEE IF ANY OF THESE ARE LIFE STUDENTS FROM US TO THE DISTRIBUTOR.

OKAY. AND THEN GOING TO TRIM IT DOWN. I I RECOGNIZE THAT THIS LIST

HAS BEEN A SERIES OF POSTS FOR YEARS. >> I RECOGNIZE THAT THEY HAVE NOT GONE TO ME EATING OUT THE AS I SAID EARLIER, I DO BELIEVE IT IS NECESSARY.

ALL RIGHT. SO I'M NOT SUPPORT THE MOTION. DOES ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK

ON THE MOTION IS. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. >> I AGREE THAT I THINK THAT THIS NEEDS TO GO BACK TO THE ADMINISTRATION FOR SOME CULLING .

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW BEYOND WHAT WE'VE DISCUSSED ALREADY. I KNOW THERE WAS DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT SOME OF THESE HAVE BEEN ON HERE AND THE AMOUNT USAGE SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN ON HERE FOR. I JUST WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME CLEAR PARAMETERS OF WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO GET BACK WHEN IT DOES COME BACK TO US IN JANUARY.

WHAT ARE GOING TO BE THE IDENTIFIERS AND THINGS THAT ARE GOING TO BE THE ADDITIONAL COLUMNS PERHAPS ON THIS REPORT COME JANUARY JUST SO THAT WE KIND ARE GIVING A CLEAR DIRECTIVE OF WHAT OUR ANTICIPATION IS. IF I MAY WANT CERTIFIED OBJECTIVE OF THE DOG WHO IS MOST USED TO PROVIDE THE FORCES THAT ARE BEING UTILIZED HIS STUDENTS WHO LIVE WITHIN THE HOUSE. OF COURSE IT MAY HAVE THE LIES IN THE PAST. THE WHY I WANT POINT OF CLARIFICATION THE REMOVAL OF LBJ IS AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT IT'S LOCAL APPROVED COURSES THAT LANGUAGES FROM THE STATE. THAT'S WHY WE DID NOT PUT IN THE LANGUAGE TO LET THEM.

I DON'T WANT TO PUT THAT POINT OF CLEAR CUT VACATION WITH MEMBERS.

I KNOW IT'S EASIER FOR US TO SAY THAT THAT'S WHAT'S PREDOMINANTLY DA BUT THAT'S A

STATE TERM THAT IS USED. >> SO WHEN THIS IS RETURNED WE'LL COME BACK TO FORCES THAT

[02:45:06]

WE LEFT ON THE RECORD AND WE WILL NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE ARCHIVED INFORMATION IN THE EVENT THAT IN THE FUTURE WE WANT TO BRING THESE VOICES BACK ALIVE INTO POWER SCHOOL FOR SCHOOLS IF THEY CHOOSE TO UTILIZE THAT WOULD BE THE SYLLABUS AND EVERYTHING THAT WAS REVIEWED IN THE PAX ON PILOT. MADAM SHERIFF I CAN'T.

I ALSO THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE COULD SEE WHEN THEY WERE ESTABLISHED JUST SO THAT WE CAN SEE HOW LONG THESE COURSES HAVE BEEN BEING UTILIZED IN THE DISTRICT AND JUST KIND OF MAYBE AS A POINT OF REFERENCE FOR IF THIS AS EVER GET REVIEWED BY AN ACADEMIC COMMITTEE OR OTHER COMMITTEE OR FROM BE A SUBSEQUENT MOTION UPON THE FAILURE OF THIS MOTION GIVING CLEAR DIRECTION TO DISTRICT STAFF OR TO DR. RODRIGUEZ AS WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DIRECT DISTRICT STAFF, IT WILL BE THE WILL OF THE BOARD.

>> SO LET'S VOTE ON THIS. MR. RIBAUT, DO YOU WANT TO SPEAK AGAIN ON THIS MR. MALCOLM IS THE PROCESS QUESTION IN MY MIND. WE SEND THE ADMINISTRATORS BACK WITH THIS AND HAVE THEM EACH ONE OF THOSE SUBJECTS TO SEE WHETHER WHEN IT WAS STABBED IS WHETHER IT'S BEING USED IN SEPARATE SAID THEN I THINK THERE WILL BE WELL ON THEIR

WAY. >> BUT I WOULD REVISION TO BE THE MOTION OR RIBAUT IS CONCERNED. I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED TO HAVE THEM DO THIS AND THEN DO MORE OR DO MORE. SAME TIME THAT MAKES ANY SENSE TO WHAT I'M SAYING.

I MEAN I THINK THEY HAVEN'T ESTABLISHED WITHIN THEMSELVES THE ADMINISTRATORS OF THE DISTRICT ADMINISTRATOR I MEAN AS THE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS. HIGH SCHOOL ETC. WHICH ONE OF THESE COURSES WE REALLY NEED PERMANENTLY AND WHAT ELSE WE NEED TO SUPPORT THAT KIND OF INITIATIVE ALONG WITH YOU KNOW WHICH ONE HAS TO BE ELIMINATED BECAUSE OF ITS YOU KNOW OBSOLETE OBSOLETE IS MR. STACK AND ALSO JUST TO P BACK OFF MY COLLEAGUE OFF OF MISSES MISSES THAT'S WHERE DR. SCHEME DOCTOR WHAT'S NEXT? OUR WE'D ALSO LIKE TO KNOW A BY WHAT PERCENTAGE OF WHAT HOW MANY STUDENTS ARE PARTICIPATING IN THESE COURSES TO I THINK THAT THAT THAT WILL THAT WILL ALSO BE A QUESTION TOO. WHAT'S THE PARTICIPATION RATE WITHIN THESE COURSES OF KEEPING THEM? ALL RIGHT.

>> READY TO VOTE ON THE MOTION FOR THIS VOTING OPEN? >> YES, SIR.

OK, YES, YES. >> YES. THIS IS.

SO I SHARE THE MOTION FAILED. YES. AND SIX NOSE TO NOSE PREVAIL.

EARL CAMPBELL CHRISTINA WAS DAVID SCAVENGER. RACHEL WAS DEPUTY WHIP SMART RICHARD GEIER. ALL RIGHT. AT THIS TIME I MOVE THAT WE'VE

SEEN THIS DOCUMENT USING THE ADMINISTRATION. >> I MEAN HE'S NOT ALONE.

HE GETS THIS JUST GIVEN THERE YOU HAVE THE FLOOR TO EITHER. >> DAVID, YOUR MEETING IS THERE

A MOTION ON THE FLOOR? >> I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT I WAS NO DIFFERENT.

OK. IS THIS ONE OK? I MOVE THAT THE WORD REQUEST THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE TO DEVELOP A PROFILE OF A BEAUFORT COUNTY GRADUATE AS AN ADJUNCT TO THE PROFILE OF THE STATE GRADUATE. THAT INCLUDES COURSES WE FEEL

[02:50:02]

THINK. >> I THINK THAT COVERS THE INTENT IS THAT WE ALL FEEL THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT. BEAUFORT COUNTY STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND SEPARATE FROM THE STATE. WE THINK THEY SHOULD UNDERSTAND GULLAH CULTURE. WE THINK THEY SHOULD UNDERSTAND OCEANOGRAPHY.

BUT LET'S GET THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY TO HAMMER THOSE THINGS OUT AND THEN WE CAN MAKE THOSE DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE SEPARATE FROM THE STATE REQUIREMENTS AND THEN WE CAN GO THROUGH AS MEL SUGGESTED THEN WE CAN GO THROUGH AND SEE HOW ALL THESE ELECTIVES ALIGN WITH THAT. SO YEAH, IT WAS EARLIER ON CAMPUS THAT HE IS SOMETHING THAT YES. HE VERY INTELLECT WAIT TO GRADUATE.

DAVID LEE AT THE END OF THE SENTENCE THAT WOULD BE NICE. >> STEP BACK PROFILE.

I'LL MISS. THERE ARE ABOUT THE REASON THAT I SUPPORT THIS MOTION IS THAT ALL NIGHT LONG TERM RETREATS FROM IN ISSUES BASED ON FACT THAT THERE ARE ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES. THE BOARD IS I THINK I THINK DAVID WILL AGREE WITH ME THAT THE BOARD IS IS IN CHARGE OF THE VALUES THAT THIS DISTRICT IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT IN THE VALUES THAT IT REPRESENTS DETERMINE TO A LARGE EXTENT WHAT KIND OF GRADUATES

WE HAVE. >> SO THIS IS PURELY ON A UNEQUIVOCAL THE DOMAIN OF THE BOARD TO BE ADDRESSING. SO I SUPPORT THE MOTION WHOLEHEARTEDLY ON THIS.

BEFORE THIS MOTION WAS MADE I MY SHARE MY MIKE WAS MUTED AND I THOUGHT I MADE A MOTION.

I BELIEVE I MADE A MOTION BEFORE THIS MOTION WAS MADE IT. I BELIEVE THAT SOME SCRIPTURE

ASKS THE QUESTION WAS THERE A MOTION MADE NOW? >> FIRST OF ALL, I CAN SEE I I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR MIND WAS NEEDED AND I WAS LETTING I'M LETTING OTHERS HAVE SOME TIME TO ALSO SPEAK. YOU HAVE SPOKEN A LOT TONIGHT AND IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT OTHERS HAVE TO HAVE A CHANCE TO SPEAK AND THAT IS WHY I CALLED ON MR. STRATEGY.

>> NO, I SPOKE A LOT IN TERMS OF THIS SPECIFIC TOPIC AND I KNOW THAT THERE WAS THAT THERE

WAS A I MEASURED A MILE THAT WE COULD TALK. >> LIKE I SAID, I BELIEVE I MADE A MOTION BEFORE THIS MOTION AND MY MIKE HAS BEEN MY MIKE HAS ADMITTED SEVERAL TIMES TONIGHT. SO WHOEVER'S DOING IT WOULD STOP AND REALLY ME MY MIKE.

>> WELL, WELL I WOULD SAY PROBABLY I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH MEETING YOUR MIKE SO HE DOESN'T THINK MAYBE. ARE YOU PERHAPS PUNCHING ON YOUR SCREEN? I DON'T KNOW. BUT LET'S NOT GET INTO AN ARGUMENT.

LET'S GET THE WORK DONE. I'M NOT ARGUING. I'M JUST MAKING MY POINT CLEAR.

>> MR. SNAP. SO DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS REGARDING THE MOTION THAT'S ON

THE FLOOR? >> THIS PREMATURE. >> NO, NO.

>> NOW I THINK I'VE SAID EVERYTHING I NEED TO SAY ABOUT THIS.

AND I AGREE WITH MR. DOWN BUT THE BOARD SETS DIRECTION. THIS IS DIRECTION THAT WE WE'RE WE'RE IN A SET. WE'RE NOT TELLING THE ADMINISTRATION HOW TO DO IT, BUT WE'RE SAYING THIS IS THIS IS WHAT WE WANT. WE WANT THE BEAUFORT COUNTY GRADUATE TO HAVE THESE BASIC AREAS OF KNOWLEDGE AND I AGREE THAT'S THAT'S OUR PURVIEW.

THIS IS THE WAY WE DO IT, NOT GET DOWN INTO THE WEEDS. BUT YOU KNOW, SET THE DIRECTION

WE WANT. >> ALL RIGHT. >> SO NO, NO, WHETHER HE ENDS

[02:55:05]

THE VOTING IS OPEN. >> YES. YES, IT IS.

>> I CAN HEAR THE EVIDENCE LIKE MR. STATE AND JEFF I'M SORRY I DIDN'T PROPAGANDA AT THIS TIME.

>> I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE SEE THIS DOCKET THAT WAS IN THIS DOCUMENT BACK TO THE SUPERINTENDENT FOR THEM FOR HIS STAFF TO FURTHER FURTHER THE WORK OF THE DOCUMENT.

>> SO YOUR MIND DOES NOT READ IT BUT WE CAN'T HEAR YOU, SIR. >> I SAID AT THIS TIME I MAKE THE MOTION THAT WE SEND THIS DOCUMENT BACK TO THE SUPREME COURT.

WE SAID THIS DOCUMENT TO THE SUPERINTENDENT. SO HIM AND STAFF CAN CAN CONTINUE THEIR WORK ON THIS DOCUMENT AND MAKE IT MORE CLEAR WHAT MORE CLEAR OF WHAT THE DOCUMENT ACTUALLY IS. OUR SECOND DISCUSSION ON MEMBERS DEVOTION OR ATTACKS

THAT ANSWER JUST A QUESTION, WILLIAM. >> WHEN YOU READ WHEN YOU USE THE WORD CLARIFICATION, ARE YOU SPEAKING IN TERMS OF VERBIAGE FOR EXAMPLE, THE WORD COLLECTED AND PERHAPS COURSE DESCRIPTIONS AND SOME OF THE QUESTIONS THAT TINA ASKED AND THAT WERE ANSWERED BY DR. STRATOS THOSE SORTS OF CLARIFICATIONS BECAUSE THE REASON I'M ASKING IS IF IT MAY TAKE A MAJOR TURN AFTER THE ACADEMICS COMMITTEE COMES BACK WITH THE PROFILE OF IT.

SO IN THE SHORT TERM IF YOU WOULD JUST CLARIFY IF WE COULD JUST ADD THOSE WORDS IN THE SHORT TERM UNTIL A LIST IS REPLACED SOMEWHERE DOWN THE ROAD OR DO IT AGAIN I DOUBT IT.

>> THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING FOR. OK. THAT'S FAIR.

THANK YOU. A LOT OF HE ADDED IN SHORT COMMENTS KIND VAGUE MOST OF THE

SAID DOCUMENT BACK TO SNAP CLARIFICATION. >> WHAT AM I CHANGING THE MOTION TO ACTUALLY THE MOTIONS IS THE IT IS TO GIVE IT A DIRECT DR. RODRIGUEZ BECAUSE WE

CAN'T WE CAN'T GIVE THE STAFF ANYTHING RIGHT. >> I'LL ASK YOU TO SEND DOCUMENT BACK TO DR. RODRIGUEZ TO DO WHAT CLARIFICATION AND ONCE ARE.

>> SO WHAT ARE YOU FINDING THE DOCUMENT BACK TO DR. RODRIGUEZ FOR ONCE YOU'RE DEFINITION OF CLARIFICATION. OR FURTHER RESOURCE THAT ANY ANYTHING THAT WAS CLARIFIED THIS EVENING BACK REQUIRED YOU ASKED A SERIES OF QUESTIONS REGARDING WHAT CERTAIN ITEMS

MEN AND THEY WERE CLARIFIED. >> WE DISCUSSED THE FACT THAT THE WORD ELECTED WAS NOT PRESENTED IN THE TITLE OF THE DOCUMENT. OKAY.

ANYTHING THAT WAS CLARIFIED TO ME AS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO MAKE THIS DOCUMENT MORE READABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE TO THE BOARD IN PUBLIC, THAT'S WHAT WOULD BE.

THAT'S ALL. IT'S SIMPLE. IT'S ACTUALLY ALREADY BEEN DONE THIS EVENING AND PERHAPS STAFF HAS ADDITIONAL AREAS THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE CLARITY ON.

THAT'S ALL MR OBEID. YEAH. YOU KNOW I I IT HAS TO BE

[03:00:06]

SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS MOTION IS ACTUALLY NECESSARY. >> MR. THOSE ARE REALLY MY COMMENTS THAT MR. OBEID JUST SAID. I DO BELIEVE I HEARD DURING THE INITIAL PRESENTATION THAT THERE IS A PROCESS THAT IS TAKING PLACE TO EVALUATE NEW COURSES THAT ARE BEING ASKED. I I BELIEVE THAT DR. STRAUSS HAS HEARD THAT OUR CONCERNS.

I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GET DOWN TO SO MANY COLUMNS OF INFORMATION AS TO WHAT EACH OF THESE COURSE IS, HOW THEY'RE BEING USED WHEN THEY WERE DEVELOPED AND SO ON.

I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO DO THAT. I THINK WE NEED TO KNOW THE PROCESS BY WHICH THESE COURSES WERE EVALUATED IN SOME WAY CAPTAIN SOMEWHERE OR JUST DISMISSED. SO I AGREE ISRAEL BY I DON'T THINK WE NEED A MOTION TO DO

THAT. >> MR. DOWLING, YOU DID ME MR. GALLAGHER, YOU NEED TO RELEASE

YOUR NEW I'M SORRY. >> I'M GOING TO GO ON FOR AN AMENDED MOTION IN THE NEVER ENDING STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM GOING BEFORE THE HORSE MISS DISTRIBUTOR INTRODUCED A MOTION THAT WAS PASSED TO DEVELOP A PROFILE FOR WHAT WE HAVE.

MY AMENDED MOTION IS THAT WE SEND THE DOCUMENT BACK TO DR. RODRIGUEZ PENDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROFILE FOR BEAUFORT COUNTY GRADUATES SO THAT WE CAN AS MISSOURI CHIRAC SAID IT MAY TAKE A MAJOR TURN DEPENDING ON HOW THAT PROFILE TURNS UP.

SO LET'S GET THE PROFILE DOWN THEN WE CAN MAKE AN EVALUATION AS TO WHETHER THE LIST OF ELECTORS MAKES ANY SENSE. IT MAY CAUSE PEOPLE TO THINK UP NEW ELECTIVES THAT THEY WANT TO PURSUE AND DITCH SOME OTHERS. AGAIN AGAIN YOU DON'T BUILD A HOUSE BY BUILDING THE SECOND STORY FIRST LET'S PUT A BIT FOUNDATION IN WHICH IS THE PROFILE OF A GRADUATE AND THEN WE CAN GO FROM THERE. SO THAT'S MY MOTION TO SEND THE BACKDROP DOCUMENT BACK TO RODRIGUES PENDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROFILE A GRADUATE PROFILE BY THE BOARD.

>> OKATIE FRANKIE ORING THAT WAS CLARIFIED THIS EVENING.

YOU JUST SAID THAT'S A SECOND AND YOU ARE ADDING KENNY DEVELOPMENT.

I'M JUST GOING BY THE BY THE MOTION THAT'S IN FRONT OF ME. OK, WHICH JUST DISAPPEARED.

THE MOTION MR SMITH MADE WAS TO SEND IT BACK TO DR. RODRIGUEZ TO HAVE THE ADMINISTRATION WORK ON IT. I'M MOVING THAT WE SEND IT BACK TO DR. RODRIGUEZ AND PUT THE THING ON HOLD UNTIL THE PROFILE IS DEVELOPED THAT WAY IT WILL FORCE THE BOARD TO TAKE ACTION AND NOT SPEND TWO AND A HALF YEARS DEVELOPING IT. IT'LL PUT THE BOARD TO WORK TO GET THE PROFILE DONE SO THAT THAT LIST CAN BE CLARIFIED AND BROUGHT BACK TO THE BOARD.

SO DON'T SOUND SO. SO WOMEN YOU CAN'T COUNT FOR ANYTHING IN THE MOTION BECAUSE ANYTHING IS NOT DEFINED. OK, SO LET'S JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT.

WHO WAS THAT? WHO WAS THAT? WHAT ARE YOUR CHILD HAVE TO.

I HAVE THE FLOOR. >> NO, I ALREADY TRIED TO MODIFY IT FOR YOU AND YOU IGNORED IT, SIR. SO GO RIGHT AHEAD. THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THAT. >> YEAH. OK.

I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU, MR. DELLA. >> OH, YOU'RE YES.

YOU'RE A BIG HELP. OH, I THINK DOES THAT MEET YOUR SATISFACTION? WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN? YES. OK.

THANK YOU. >> ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? MR. WELL I DEFINITELY WILL

[03:05:06]

THE AMENDMENT THAT I READ IT? >> YES, SIR. >> OK.

DEVELOPMENT AND APPROVAL OF THE GRADUATE PROFILED BY THE BOARD WANT MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE BOARD THIS IS THE PROFILE IS GOING TO BE THE BOARD'S PROFILE .

THAT'S NOT AN OPERATIONAL ISSUE. IT'S A DIRECTIONAL VALUE ISSUE.

SO AMENDED MOTION TO SEND THE DOCUMENT BACK TO DR. RODRIGUEZ PENDING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROFILE AND APPROVAL OF THE PROFILE BY THE BOARD. THANK YOU, DR. JOHNSON.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS MOTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COUNTY

GRADUATE THE PROFILE OF A DIFFERENT COUNTY GRADUATE. >> IS IS A LOFTY AND VERY, VERY GOOD IDEA. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTH, THE PROFILE OF A SOUTH CAROLINA GRADUATE CHUCK QUITE A LONG PERIOD OF TIME TO MAKE SURE IT WAS CONCRETE AND SET AND MAKE

SURE THAT IT WAS INCLUSIVE. >> I AGREE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PROFILE FROM BEAUFORT COUNTY GRADUATE NOT TO TIE THIS STATE MANDATED APPROVAL OF LOCAL OR APPROVED COURSES TO IT. SO THAT'S WHY I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS MOTION.

MISS ROE BY YES, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY. IN ADDITION, I WAS GOING TO

RESPOND TO MR. SMITH. MR. SMITH. >> IT HAS TO COME BACK TO US BECAUSE IT'S A STATE MANDATED FORM. THAT'S WHAT I WAS.

IT'S STATE MANDATED THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THOSE COURSES. THAT'S WHAT I SAID.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT DISTRIBUTOR SAID IT WAS THAT HAS TO COME BACK TO US FOR

APPROVAL BECAUSE THE STATE MANDATES THAT IT DO THAT. >> SO I AGREE WITH WHAT ESPECIALLY WHAT THIS FEDERATION WAS REAL. I JUST SAID I WON'T SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE I REALLY THINK THE INSPIRATION CAN WORK ON THIS ON THIS SOME THE BOARD APPROVED LIST OF COURSES. NOW WE CERTAINLY HAVE HEARD OUR DISCUSSION.

THEY KNOW THE DIRECTION AND AND I THINK RIGHT THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS OF THE THE GRADUATE PROFILE FOR THE FUTURE STUDENT. IT IS AN EXCELLENT GOAL.

BUT I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE QUITE TIME CONSUMING AND I DON'T THINK IT HAS TO BE ONE.

AND THEN THE OTHER I DON'T. I MEAN I DIDN'T THINK THAT THOSE LISTED ALREADY PRINTED

MR. SMITH. >> MR. DOWLING. >> WHY CAN'T THEY BE DONE IN PARALLEL BY THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE? I'M HEARING EXCUSES.

MY MICHAEL MY QUESTION IS A SIMPLE IS IT RAISE YOUR HAND PLEASE.

>> I CALLED MR. SMITH. >> HE'S RIGHT. JUST CALL ME.

THERE MUST BE A DELAY IN THIS FISHNET MUST BE A DELAY AS I SAID.

>> ONCE AGAIN WE WE ARE DRAGGING THIS AND WE'RE NOT WHEN WE'RE NOT MOVING ON THIS.

I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THIS BUT I DO UNDERSTAND THAT IT DID TAKE US A WHOLE YEAR TO GET OUR TO AUDIT. IT TAKES A WHOLE YEAR TO GET IT DONE WITH THE FIRST READING OF OUR GOVERNANCE. SO MAYBE IT WOULD TAKE US A MAYBE TWO YEARS TO GET THIS DONE. SO I GUESS I CAN UNDERSTAND MAYBE WHY SOME PEOPLE MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT MAY TAKE THE BOARD A WHILE TO TO GET IT DONE.

SO I MEAN I DO UNDERSTAND. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD TAKE US A YEAR OR TWO YEARS TO GET US TO GET THIS DONE. I HAVE TO SAY I SAW THE SAME TIME SO I SAY AT THE SAME TIME AS DR. RODRIGUEZ AND HIS STAFF LOOKING OVER THE DATA, THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT.

[03:10:02]

SO I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DRAWS ABOUT. THANK YOU.

>> NO COMMENT. YES, FOR ME YOU CAN GET FAILS 3 7 1 THE NOSE EARL CAMPBELL

CHRISTINA LIVES. >> SHEPARD YOUR CATHY ROWE BY TRICIA DANDRIDGE, RACHEL WISNIEWSKI AND RICHARD GEIER. MR. MAYOR CAMPBELL ABSTAINED. SO WE ARE ABOUT FIVE MINUTES FROM 9 15. WE HAVE NO SECOND PUBLIC COMMENTS.

MATTER. I'M SORRY. DO WE GO BACK TO LAMB'S EMOTIONS? IS THAT WHEN PHIL OK, IT'S A MOTION TO SEND DOCUMENTS OR ANYTHING THAT WAS CLARIFIED THIS EVENING? YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

AND THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME. >> I'LL LET YOU PUT IT BACK UP THERE.

TRY MR. SMITH. >> AND THE REASON FOR ME TO BRING THIS MOTION IS BECAUSE TODAY THE STAFF BROUGHT THIS UNDER OUR REGAS AND HIS STAFF BOUGHT IS WHAT THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE US WAS TO APPROVE IT. AND I HEARD MRS. GILBERT TO MAKE A MOTION BOTTOM HERE IS MOTION TIE INTO THIS AND TO SEND IT BACK TO STAFF. I DIDN'T HEAR ANY ANY MOTIONS OR ANYTHING THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE IT BACK AND WORK ON IT TO BE UNFAIR.

THAT'S WHY I MADE THIS MOTION SO THAT WE COULD SEND IT BACK TO THE STAFF AND LET THEM TIDY

UP THE WORDING OF THE WORDING ON IT. >> THAT WAS ALL THAT WE AGREED THAT WE ALL RESTATED IT SO THAT WE CAN HAVE A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING.

SO IF SOMEONE DOES NOT SOMEONE LOOK AT THIS DOCUMENT THEY CAN SEE EXACTLY OK THAT THIS

DOCUMENT BOUNCES OCTOBER 26 ON 20, 20, 20. >> THEY ARE ABOUT THE YEAR 2020 AND THEY CAN ACTUALLY WHAT IS SAID IS WHAT WILL BE WHAT WILL BE STATED IN THE DOCUMENT.

SO THAT'S A PART OF ME I'LL BE ASKING IS SUPPORT TO GO BACK THINKING I WILL SUPPORT THIS

MOTION BECAUSE TO ME IT'S UNNECESSARY HAVING TO PROVE IT. >> SO IT'S NOT IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO HAVE THIS MOTION. ALL RIGHT. VOTING IS OPEN.

NO, NO. IS IT NOW GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN?

>> YES. AT WHAT? YES.

NO, NO. MOTION FAILS 5:00 6:00. THE NOSE PREVAIL.

EARL CAMPBELL CHRISTINA BY DAVID'S FAVORITE YOU'RE GETTING ROLLED BY EFFICIENT MIDRANGE

AND RICHARD DYER SO YOU'RE ON A MOTION TO WE'RE MR. SMITH. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

I JUST WANT TO GET SOME CLEAR UNDERSTANDING FROM FROM FROM MY COLLEAGUES.

SO AND SO IN THE FUTURE WHEN DR. REGAS AND THE STAFF BRING A MOTION, THEY BRING A REPORT LIKE THIS TONIGHT IN FRONT OF US. THEN MY QUOTE MARK MY QUESTION WILL BE SO IN THE FUTURE WHAT WILL HE HAVE TO ASK FOR HIM FROM TIME TO TIME? ASK US WHAT THE THE BOARD WANT HIM AND HIS STAFF TO TAKE. SO TONIGHT HE DIDN'T ASK THAT BUT IT'S NOT CLEAR WITH JUST LEAVING THIS UNTURNED. WE MADE A MOTION TO WORK ON ANOTHER PROJECT THAT'S ME UP UNTIL A PARTY THAT IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT IT'S BEEN BEFORE US TONIGHT. SO I SO I GUESS HE'S GOING TO HE'S JUST GOING TO ASSUME THAT

[03:15:03]

WE'VE HEARD IT. I MEAN I MEAN I DON'T I'M NOT ASKING FOR HIM TO SAY WELL HE

UNDERSTOOD HE'S GOING TO TAKE YOU BACK. >> HE'S GONNA WORKING WITH HIS STAFF. I'M JUST ASKING BOARDMAN IS NOT THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.

BUT I GUESS I'M ASKING THAT COME OUT OUR COLLEAGUES. IS THIS THE NEW NORM FOR THE BOARD? THIS IS GONNA BE THIS IS A PRESENT PRACTICE.

>> MR. SMITH NOT GUILTY IN A MINUTE. >> BUT I GOT A MEMBERSHIP AND THAT'S WHY MY HAND WAS UP BECAUSE WE HAVE A VERY AMBITIOUS TO PUT IT MILDLY AGENDA. I MEAN THAT WE EXTEND TONIGHT'S MEETING AN HOUR TO 10 15 AND ME THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE MEETING TO MY EVENING AT 6:00 P.M. SCHEDULING PERMITS OR NOTIONS STATE NIGHTS MEETING AN HOUR TO 10 15 AND MR. DARLING, DR. OF THE MAKER OF THE MOTION.

>> MAY I COME IN? YEAH, I'M ONLY I DO NOT APPROVE OF EXTENDING THE MEETING BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THIS AGENDA BECAUSE THE TOPICS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR EXTENDED DISCUSSION AND THE ADDITION OF A OF A AGENDA TOPIC THIS EVENING WITH THE CONCRETE PORT I BELIEVE IT'S WARRANTED TO EXTEND JUST FOR ONE HOUR THIS EVENING.

>> MR. SMITH. ALL RIGHT. VOTING IS OPEN.

NO. YES. >> IT IS THE MOTION FAILS AS

IT'S 5 5 AND ONE ABSTENTION. >> THE THE FIVE ESTIMATES ARE VALID OR SHOP CAMPBELL MELVIN

CAMPBELL, SIDNEY WILLIAMS. >> RICHARD PRYOR. NO, NO.

OH, CAMPBELL. CHRISTINA ONE DRIVEN BY YOUR FRIGID BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS BE

THE OBSESSION SCRAPPING SCRAPPY FLY RIGHT? >> YES, MR. ROBOT.

I THIS ONE SHOULD EXPLAIN MY ABSTENTION. >> I ABSTAIN BECAUSE I AM GOING TO LEAVE THE MEETING AT THIS TIME BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER IN LAW JUST GAVE BIRTH TO A MY GRANDSON AND I NEED TO GET ON THE PHONE AND DO SOME CONGRATULATORY THINGS AND SEE SOME PICS OF THIS LITTLE 5 POUNDER THAT JUST MADE IT INTO THE WORLD.

SO THAT'S WHY I ABSTAINED. SO I AM GOING LEAVE THE MEETING REGULATION.

>> WELL, I GUESS WE'RE ALL LEAVING THE MEETING. >> LET'S START THERE A LITTLE

TURN. >> OKAY. MR. CAMPBELL SECOND ON THE TABLE. HI COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION

BUSINESS MEETING BACK ORDER TODAY IS DECEMBER 9. >> TWENTY FLOODING THE MEETING

[Approval of Testing Waiver for Paper Pencil and Testing Window]

WINDOW. DR. RODRIGUEZ, THANK YOU. >> GOOD EVENING.

WE'LL BEGIN WHERE WE LEFT OFF. AND DR. STRATOS, YOU AND YOUR TEAM TAKE US THROUGH THE TESTING WAIVERS. YES, SIR. THANK YOU.

GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THE LABORS BEING

PRESENTED TO SAVING. >> THANK YOU, MRS. KRISTEN. >> VERY GOOD ARE BEING PRESENTED THIS EVENING ARE BASED ON A MEMORANDUM UNDER STATE SUPERINTENDENT MOLLY SPEARMAN REGARDING SUBMITTING PAPER OR SPECIFIED CLASS BY VIEW FOR COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT

[03:20:08]

FIRST ONE IS WITH REGARD TO GOING FORWARD. AND IF YOU COULD JUST KEEP IT TO THE THANK YOU THEN I'LL HAVE THE SURVEILLANCE TAPE AS WELL. THE FIRST ONE IS YES.

IN SUMMARY REGARDING PROVIDING 10 ADDITIONAL DAYS IN THE FRONT END FOR US FOR TESTING.

AND WITH THAT, MR. BALLON WILL WALK THROUGH WHAT THE WAIVERS ARE, WHY WE WE'RE DOING THE WAIVERS BASICALLY BASICALLY THE WHO WHAT WHEN WE'RE WALKING AWAY FROM THE SO OFTEN POINTS UP OUTLINED IN A JULY FROM STATE DEPARTMENT OF PREVENTIVE SPEARMAN SELF ON PERMANENT EDUCATION AND SEEKING FEDERAL WAIVERS TO WAIVE ALL STATE ACCOUNTABILITY ASSESSMENTS AT THAT TIME THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WAS NOT ACCEPTING WAIVERS TO MEET THIS NEED.

>> SO IT'S OUR DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MUST CONTINUE AS WE ARE WAITING TO ADMINISTER THE ASSESSMENTS IN THE SPRING OF 2012. OTHER STEPS THERE EXPECTS A

WAIVER. >> SO CAN I JUST ASK EVERYONE THAT'S WHY I'M STILL HERE.

>> I'M MR. OCTOBER TWENTY SEVEN. >> TWENTY TWENTY.

ANOTHER STATE MEMORANDUM COMES OUT IN RESPONSE TO THE EDUCATION ACCOUNTABILITY ACT WHICH IS EPA WHICH MANDATES IN SOUTH CAROLINA THAT ALL STUDENTS BE ADMINISTERED OUR

STATE TESTING THE COMPUTER ASSESSMENTS. >> THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO ANY STUDENT TO HAVE APPLIED FOR OR ACCOMMODATIONS EDUCATION PLAN. THE PROVISO ALSO ALLOWS FOR SOME KIND OF RATE THAT SOMEONE PASSED THIS CASE FOR ADDITIONAL PAY.

ITS FIRST ADMINISTERING THE TESTS UNDER LAW. WE HAVE THE LAST 20 DAYS OF THE INSTRUCTIONAL YEAR AND THE CALENDAR YEAR ARE WHEN THESE ASSESSMENTS ARE ADMINISTERED.

SO WE HAVE TO ABILITY TO WAIVE WE WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO WAIVE YOUR BASIC AND WE'D ALSO HAVE THIS YEAR YOU WOULD HAVE THE TO WAIVE ADDITIONAL MISSED INSTRUCTIONAL SORRY ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT DATA EVEN THOUGH DESERVES TO AREAS WHICH COULD BE IN REFERENCE TO COLLEGE 27 OCTOBER POINTS ON A MEMO MUSIC HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS PROPOSED THAT WE SUBMIT RE

WAIVER WE DO IN LIGHT OF CODE 19 PROTOCOL. >> WE ARE ASKING HOW WE WILL ASK THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO CONSIDER ALLOWING US TO USE A TRADITIONAL BASE ASSESSMENT SO THAT 20 DAYS LEFT WITH A CALENDAR YEAR TO LAST 30 DAYS OF CALENDAR YEAR THIS WILL BE FOR A LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATHEMATICS OR A C RATE AND C

PASS FOR SCIENCE. >> BUT WE ARE ALSO ASKING INGRATES THREE TO FIVE OR SOME KIND OF READY ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS WHICH IS A COMBINATION OF READING ASSESSMENT AND WRITING ASSESSMENT THAT THOSE STUDENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE ASSESSMENTS, BE A PAPER PENCIL AND THEN WE ALSO LOOKING FOR A PAPER AND PENCIL WAIT FOR INSTANCE THAT MIGHT HAVE STUDENTS THAT ARE HOMEBOUND OR BASE OR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO BE A RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY MIGHT REQUIRE A PAPER PENCIL AS A RESULT OF LIMITED BANDWIDTH IN CERTAIN AREAS.

>> AND THEN IN CONCLUSION JUST A QUICK SUMMARY OF OTHER NOVEMBER 3RD MEMO WHICH CITE BACK HOME 3 5 WHICH HAS GIVEN STATE PROPONENTS SPEARMINT INCREASED AUTHORITY BURNS ENDEMIC TO AN ACT. ADDITIONAL WAIVERS TO ALLOW FLEXIBILITY IN OTHER STATUTES STATE STATUTES AND SAY YOU CAN SEND IT STILL DOES RESERVE THE RIGHT AT ANY SIGN OF ANY WAIVERS THAT KEEPS THAT UP UNDER THE MEMBRANE. SO A QUICK RECAP IN YOUR PACKAGE WAIVERS OUTLINE ASKING FOR A MATCH SIGN OR FALSEHOOD. PERHAPS PARTS THAT HAVE 10

[03:25:03]

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT PENCIL PAPER OR GRADE 3 THROUGH 5 OR ELI IS BEING USED BY AND THEN A PAPER PENCILS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN WE CAN WE CAN SEE IT PULLED DOWN SOME MARGIN STUDENTS AND CENSUS MADAM CHAIR. PERCENT THIS IS SAVING THE STATE INQUIRY SAID WE HAVEN'T HAD A GESTATION SO WE PUT A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT OF THE WORKFORCE .

SO IT'S NOT A SIGNATURE NECESSARILY FROM THE BOARD BUT IT IS CERTAINLY ABLE TO PRESENT AN UPON AGREEMENT. COME ON BOY AGAIN FIVE MINUTES I'LL KEEP THEM IN THE HOUSE IN CASE THERE'S A MOTIVE FOR SO WE COULD AFFORD NO LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION.

>> DR. STRATOS OR DANIEL, CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR THOUGHT PROCESS BEHIND ASKING FOR A PAPER AND PENCIL WAIVER FOR GRADES THREE, FOUR, FIVE. WHAT MIGHT MY THOUGHTS ON THIS IS THAT EVEN OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE COMING FACE TO FACE TWO DAYS A WEEK STILL 60 PERCENT OF OUR TIME IS ONLINE SO THEY'VE BEEN LEARNING ONLINE SINCE LAST MARCH AND TAKING ASSESSMENTS ONLINE SINCE LAST MARCH. IN A TYPICAL YEAR I WOULD BE THE FIRST TO SAY LET'S DO THIS. A TYPICAL REGULAR SCHOOL YEAR. BUT I'M JUST WONDERING IF THE RATIONALE NOW CONSIDERING THAT SO MUCH OF LEARNING IS ONLINE TEST TAKING.

>> SO WE ACTUALLY TAKE THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT CONGRESS STATION BUT THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE HEAD OF LEARNING GETS WITH THE ONSET OF A 19 ON MARCH 16TH .

WE HAVE SURVEYED PRINCIPALS AND HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR ELEMENTARY PRINCIPALS ON PREFERENCE IN THE AREA OF READING SPECIFICALLY. ARE YOU CONTINUE INSTRUCTION IN

A PAPER MANNER FOR CHILDREN BEYOND JUST VIRTUAL? >> I COULD SHARE WITH YOU ONE SCHOOL IN PARTICULAR LAST WEEK DELIVERED THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY PACKETS READING PACKETS AND ARE COMPLETING READING PRACTICES WITH OUR STUDENTS SO THAT THEY SO HAVE THE TACTILE READING AND THERE'S A RECOGNITION THAT OUR READING TESTS FOR A LITTLE CHILDREN ARE ONE TO TWO PAGES TWO AND A HALF PAGES FOR THE MATH AREAS MORE OF A COMPUTATIONS VERY LIMITED WORD PROBLEMS SO THE FACT THAT CHILDREN HAVE NOT HAD THE SKILL SETS AT SCHOOLS ARE STILL PROVIDING OUR CHILDREN THE LEARN VIRTUAL PROVIDING CHILDREN READING PASSAGES, ATTACK STRATEGIES, READING STRATEGIES TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN ON TRACK WITH HAVING BOTH TYPE OF MODALITY. I CAN LOVE MOST ABOUT SERVICE AND HE'S ALSO CONDUCTING BOTH MEETINGS. I BELIEVE WE SPOKE WITH SOME ALMOST 14 SEVENTH PRINCIPALS THAT I DID NOT REALIZE THAT SOME ANY OR ALL OF THE SCHOOLS ARE STILL PROVIDE SUBSTANTIAL

LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES. >> BASED ON OUR ASSESSMENT AND PROVIDED THIS QUESTION IN THE WEATHER PAPER AND PENCIL READING OR UTILIZING THE ADVICE WAS AN OPTION.

IT WAS ALSO AT ODDS WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PAPER AND PENCIL VERSUS DEVICE FOR READING AND WRITING. I HAVE TO KEEP IN WRITING ON IT IS UNDER COLOR THE SIZE OF THE VOICE FROM THE FIELD PRINCIPAL NORMALLY IN A TYPICAL YEAR WITH THE LEGISLATURE IN SESSION AND

BUDGETS BEING PASSED A KIND OF LAST NIGHT. >> AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR WE WOULD KNOW AND TYPICALLY WE HAVE ASSURANCE THAT THE STATE IS DUE ONLINE PROVIDING THE PAPER. HAS IT GOTTEN RID OF ONLINE TESTING LIKE WE BETWEEN 2020 TO KEEP STUDENT SAFE ONLINE? HAD A PAPER BOOKLET INSIDE AND STILL MANIPULATE THE TEXT.

RIGHT NOW THAT'S NOT SOMETHING PROVEN THE BUDGET SO WE HAVE TO BACK PRACTICE A LITTLE BIT AND SOMEHOW AND KEEP UP WITH THOSE STUDENTS THAT MIGHT NEED THAT TACTILE MUST PROTECT.

IT'S A LINEAR IT'S NOT A BIG IT'S A CONCERN BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE'RE ONLINE WE GET A TO PUT UP AGAINST READING TO LOOK AT THE PAST THIS YEAR THAT IS NOT YET IN PROVIDES NOTES ON.

[03:30:02]

IT'S REAL LIFE. YEAH, I THINK DANIEL JUST ANSWERED MY QUESTION.

>> SO LET ME MAKE SURE I GET THIS RIGHT. IN THE PAST WE HAVEN'T HAD TO ASK FOR A WAIVER FOR PAPER OR PENCIL BECAUSE THE PAPER PENCIL OR MATERIALS WERE PROVIDED PART OF THE PAPER PEN. SO THE PASSAGE WERE THERE FOR THE KIDS TO MARK UP TO DO SO MAYBE STRATEGIES WE TEACH KIDS IN READING COMPREHENSION INVOLVES THEM MANIPULATING THE TEXT SO THIS IS. IS THIS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE HAD TO ASK FOR A WAIVER OR TO

GET PAPER PENCIL TEST? >> WE'VE WAIVED PAPER PENCIL FOR READING.

AND FORGIVE ME I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT YEAR THAT WE DID THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE WERE REQUIRED TO GO ONLINE. BUT THAT WAS FOR OTHER DISTRICTS, OTHER SUPERINTENDENTS. WHAT ABOUT HAVING THOSE PAPER AND SCHOOL READING PACKETS? SO ONCE THAT WAS ADOPTED WE THERE WASN'T THE NEED TO WAIT. WE HAVE TO BANDWIDTH WE HAVEN'T LIKED SINCE. THE REASON FOR US WAVING WAS TO HAVE THAT PAPER HAPPEN.

WHAT A GREAT USE. THEN YOU'D GO BACK TO THE TEXT THEY HAD CIRCLE ON A HIGHLIGHT AND THEY COULD FEEL SO ONCE THAT LET'S OVERCOMPENSATE APARTMENT COMPANY.

WE DID NOT NEED TO WAIT ANYMORE BUT WE DID IN THE PAST. WE FEEL A GREAT STORY PROVIDES

THAT. THANK YOU SANDRA. >> SO DR. STRATUS, I HAD SOME

TROUBLE HEARING EARLIER. >> DANIEL, WE ARE REQUIRED TO VOTE THIS EVENING ON THE BOARD . THE STATE IS REQUIRING A VOTE ON THIS, ISN'T IT?

>> NO, I CHECKED THE RESPONSE TO THAT. YES, HE MUST HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE LOCAL BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THAT IF NECESSARY THE MINUTES FROM OUR MEETING. ALTHOUGH MR. FALLIN WILL BE COMPLETING THE APPLICATION ON SIGNATURE BUT WE MUST HAVE AS WE DO NORMALLY FOR AS OUR BOARD HAVE AN APPROVAL IN THE MINUTES. SHOULD THAT BE WHAT THE BOARD WANTS TO GIVE? PAKISTANIS MIGHT NEED YOUR HELP IN FORMING THIS MOTION. BUT I MOVE THAT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION DIRECTS DR. RODRIGUEZ TO APPLY FOR A WAIVER FOR 10 ADDITIONAL TESTING DAYS FOR SC READY E L.A. AND MATH AS SEEN PASS THE WAIVER FOR GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE.

>> SO I WANT TO SAY THIS. SO THE THE PENCIL AND PAPER COMPONENT WOULD BE FOR READING AND WRITING ONLY NAPKIN MATH. RIFAAT 10 DAYS WAS FOR. YES RIGHT.

AND THEN A WAIVER FOR GRADES THREE THROUGH FIVE PAPER AND PENCIL FOR SC READY L.A..

YES. WRITING AND PAPER AND PENCIL FOR HOMEBOUND AND RESIDENTIAL

TREATMENT OF ALL GRADES. >> SC READY READING AS HE READY MATH AS WELL AS A C PASS SIGN

THIS ROBERT. >> AND UPON APPROVAL FROM THE BOARD GOES TO SHARE IT WOULD MOVE OUR TESTING NAMES STARTED STARTING ON MAY 6TH. SO THE 10 DAYS WE TAKE OUR CALENDAR START TESTING AT MAY 6 WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR MY APPOINTMENT AND TO HAVE CHILDREN FOR A WHOLE MONTH VIRTUAL TO MAKE LENGTH OF THAT TYPE OF BS AS WELL.

SUCCESS. >> THIS NOT ASHLEY. >> OF COURSE SHE BEFORE SHE MADE THAT MOTION UP WAY TO UNDERSTAND IT A LITTLE MORE BETTER.

I WAS MEAN. YES SHE SPOKE I WAS HOPING TO SPEAK BEFORE MY MIND MY QUESTIONS. MY QUESTION IS BASICALLY IS THIS MOTION IS IN REGARD TO BASICALLY ALLOW THE STUDENTS TO TAKE THE TEST AND THEN PLAY IN THE PLACE THAT THEIR HOMES ARE.

COULD YOU FURTHER BREAK DOWN ALSO? ALSO WHAT WHAT IS USE WHEN

[03:35:04]

>> I BELIEVE IT WAS A TREATMENT RESIDENTIAL OKATIE A RESORT WHERE YOU COULD YOU COULD.

>> WELL, FIRST YOU CAN ANSWER THE FIRST PART OF THE QUESTION SIMPLY TESTING SECURITY TESTING IS GENERALLY CONDUCTED ON THE SCHOOL SITE AND WITH PERSONNEL WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAINED

PROTESTS ADMINISTRATIONS EITHER. >> IF IT'S UTILIZED ELECTRONICALLY ON A PAPER AND PENCIL MODEL. SO THIS TESTING SEPARATE FROM THAT TEST YOU WANT TO DO ALLOW THAT DIAGNOSTIC TEST. TO BE ADMINISTERED AT THE HOUSE . THE PURPOSE OF THE 10 ADDITIONAL DAYS IS TO LAND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE HOME ON VIRTUAL AND FAMILIES OF SELECTED VIRTUAL AS A DELIVERY TOOL TO BE COMING TO THE SCHOOLS IN A VERY SECURE MANNER TO MEET ALL OF OUR

PUBLIC 19 PROTOCOLS. >> GREAT. CAN YOU CAN YOU BREAK DOWN WHAT IS RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT SO THERE MAY BE STUDENTS WHO EITHER MEDICALLY HAVE ISSUES WHO ARE IN A FACILITY OR A 24 HOUR FACILITY EITHER FOR MEDICAL OR FOR EMOTIONAL BEHAVIOR TREATMENT. SO THAT WOULD BE A RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY.

>> WE ARE HELD UNDER FEDERAL LAW. IF A CHILD IS A STUDENT WITH DISABILITY. IF THAT IS A REQUIREMENT BY MEDICAL PRACTICE THEN WE STUDENTS BY LAW BY FEDERAL LAW CAN BE PLACED INTO OUR RESIDENTIAL FACILITY FACILITY.

>> GOT YOU. OK. >> THE TESTING COULDN'T CONDUCTED WITHIN THAT FACILITY. SO AGAIN THAT WE WILL BE ALSO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TRAINING OF PERSONNEL AT THESE FACILITIES TO ADMINISTER ANY TYPE OF STATE ACCOUNTABILITY OR HIGH STAKES TESTING WITH THE SAME SECURITY THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN ANY ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS HERE.

GARY, THANK YOU. >> YES, SIR. >> SO I MIGHT JUST SUGGEST ON THE MOTION IF IT'S THREE SEPARATE WAIVERS, CORRECT. SO ROBIN, I WOULD JUST SAY IF TEACHERS OKATIE SHOULD BE FOR WAIVERS IN THE FIRST AND WE CAN.

NO. IF YOU WANTED TO. >> WOULD THAT BE HELPFUL OR DO YOU WANT A NUMBER OF ONE 2 SO. IF I MAY. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. YES. SAY THE FIRST ONE AND I'M JUST TRYING TO CORRELATE I DO APOLOGIZE FOR FIRST WAIVER JUST WITH REGARD TO THE 10 DAYS

MOVING FORWARD. >> AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S UP THERE.

>> CAN YOU BE. YOU WANT TO READ THAT PART OF THE PICTURE THAT INCLUDES EVERYTHING MOTION AT THE BEAUFORT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION DIRECT DR.

RODRIGUEZ APPLIED FOR WAIVERS IF HE REMOVED THE ARTICLE PAY FOR 10 AND I WOULD PUT A CALL WENT OUT THE WAY WE SAID TO APOLOGIZE AND THERE WOULD BE ONE FOR 10 ADDITIONAL DAYS FOR SC READY ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH AND SC PASS GRADES THREE SONGS THAT WOULD BE

NUMBER TWO. >> BUT I NEED A SEMICOLON HERE. >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU MRS. KUTCHER VERY BASED 3 3 5 PAPER PENCIL AS READY L.A. AND EMPTY AS

SEMICOLON NUMBER 3. >> HOMEBOUND RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY STUDENTS MAY REQUIRE PAPER AND PENCIL AS A RESULT RESULT OF POTENTIAL LIMITED ELIMINATED BANDWIDTH.

>> I WOULD. THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION OR

NUMBERS? >> THERE BEING NO HANDS UP YOU CAN OPEN VOTING UP.

>> YES. IT'S YES. >> WITH NASCAR?

>> YES. SORRY I GOT BOOTED OUT AND BOUGHT MOTIONS HEARINGS IN

[03:40:01]

[Discussion of the participation of family members of Board members being sworn in on January 5, 2020.]

IF THE SCHOOLS WILL BE REOPENING IN FIVE DAYS IN PART ON JANUARY 4.

SO THEREFORE GIVEN THAT PRIOR ACTION THIS WOULD BE A MOTION EXCUSE ME THIS WOULD BE A MEETING IN PERSON THE TWO OPTIONS ARE HERE IN THE FOR WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE PROCESS MISTREATMENT OR ON THE ON THE AGENDA? WHAT WE ARE DISCUSSING.

THE THE THE DEEP ON THE AGENDA WE'RE DISCUSSING FAMILY COME AND PERSON, CORRECT? YES. OK. AND OK.

THEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE. ABOUT STUDENTS COMING BACK TO SCHOOL.

>> ACTUALLY IT IS. IF I'M CORRECT, STUDENTS HAVE THE OPTION TO COME TO SCHOOL OR TO STILL BE VIRTUAL. CORRECT. YES.

THAT SOUNDS OKATIE. CAN I FINISH WHAT I'M SAYING PLEASE?

IT. >> OK THIS GREAT. GO AHEAD.

>> SO SINCE WE'RE BEARING THE SCHOOL'S WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE WILL BE AT THE OPTION OF AN IN-PERSON MEETING. AND IF MEMBERS PARTICIPATE BY A ZOO THAT WILL BE AN OPTION TOO.

BUT WE'RE DISCUSSING THAT IN PERSON. COMPONENTS.

CURRENTLY THERE'S TWO LATERAL PUT PUT THIS OR PUTS ON THE AGENDA.

IT WAS TO OPEN UP DISCUSSION TO RATHER WE WOULD WE WOULD MIND. FURTHER THE THE FAMILY MEMBERS FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD BE OKAY TO COME AND TO TWO TO THE SWEARING IN.

I DON'T REMEMBER A LOT OF WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. WELL WE HAD THE AGENDA CITY AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE REGULAR REGULAR. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE FROM THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC COMING IN VERSUS OUT FOR VERSUS OUR FAMILY MEMBERS. THAT WAS WHAT THIS DISCUSSION WAS SOLELY ABOUT.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL CONVERSATION WHEN WE DISCUSSED AS IT WAS SOLELY ABOUT RATHER OUR FAMILIES WERE CUT FIRMS COULD COME IN HERE OR RATHER WE WEREN'T ALLOWED THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO COME AS WELL BECAUSE WE ALLOW OUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND SOME SOME GENERAL PUBLIC MAY WANT TO COME. AND THAT WAS THE THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR THAT IF YOU ALLOW ME TO

CONTINUE TO SPEAK, SIR A MEMORY, MADAM CHAIR. >> THE PROBLEM IS YOU'RE PUTTING TOO MUCH OF YOUR OPINION INTO THE CONVERSATION AND YOU AREN'T ANYONE WITH SO I'M JUST SAYING BASED ON THE FACTS. THAT'S WHERE THE CONVERSATION

THAT'S THE NARRATIVE OF THE CONVERSATION. >> I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.

WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS FOR THE SUMMIT MEETING. WE HAVE THE OPTION OF HERE IN THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND WE HAVE THE OPTION OF AT THE COUNTY COUNCIL CHAMBERS THE COUNTY COUNCIL CHAMBERS WHO HAS BEEN OUT VETTED SO I COULD JUST SAY OUTFITTED WITH SPEECH LAUGHS DIVIDERS BETWEEN THE MEMBERS THAT SET THE DAIS AND THEN THOSE CHURCH PEWS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THE PROBABLY MEETING ROOM AND WE HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH INDIVIDUAL CHAIRS WITH APPROPRIATE SOCIAL DISTANCING. SO IN THAT ROOM YOU CAN FIT ALL ELEVEN BOARD MEMBERS AND TWENTY SIX ATTENDEES ON THE FLOOR AND WE HAVE GIVEN GIVEN OUR ASSISTANTS ROBERT AND MOLLY AND THEN THE SENIOR STAFF THAT WE FIGURED OUT WOULD BE 10 PEOPLE . SO THEN THERE'D BE 16 OTHER SEATS IN THAT VENUE AND THERE'S FOUR BOARD MEMBERS THERE ARE THAT WE'LL BE SWORN IN ON JANUARY 5TH.

SO YOU COULD ALLOW THREE FOUR FAMILY MEMBERS IF YOU AND THEN THERE MIGHT BE SEATS OR JUST A FEW MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. WE DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE CUT OFF WHEN TWENTY SIX

[03:45:02]

YEAH. RIGHT TO OUR CHAT. >> MY HAND WAS UP FROM THE LAST

TOPIC AND I JUST WASN'T RECOGNIZED NOT PUT IT DOWN NOW. >> HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF OR DISCUSSED THE IDEA OF HAVING A SWEARING IN CEREMONY THAT IS BEFORE THE MEETING BEGINS? MR OK YOU ARE AWARE THAT IF YOU LET ONE PERSON FROM THE PUBLIC AND YOU'RE GOING TO LET OTHER PEOPLE. SO THE I GUESS THE QUESTION BECOMES DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT IN A ROOM THAT'S SO SEVERELY LIMITS THE AMOUNT OF PUBLIC PARTICIPATION AND SECONDLY I THINK THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THE STAKEHOLDERS OF THE SYSTEM, THE TAX PAYERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GIVE UP A SEAT TO SENIOR STAFF OF SENIOR STAFF WORK FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT.

THERE. I SEE NO COMPELLING REASON EDUCATIONALLY OR OR CEREMONIOUSLY THAT SENIOR STAFF SHOULD HAVE TO TAKE UP SEATS THAT COULD BE HELD BY

RESIDENTS. >> CITIZEN MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY.

THIS IS THEIR SCHOOL BOARD. I THINK FOR ME A FAMILY MEMBER WILL THEN THAT'S THAT'S IT.

THAT'S ABOUT NO I I RELY VERY STRICTLY ON BUT YOU SHOULD BE THAT SAME MOMENT.

PUBLIC WATER COMPANY IN THEY DON'T YOU DON'T WANT TO BE A DRAWN OUT FIGHT THAT THIS

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IT'S REAL. >> I DID.

IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE STATE LEGISLATORS ALLOWED ONLY THE PUBLIC IN WHEN THEY WERE SWORN IN. I DID A LITTLE BIT OF RESEARCH AND THAT'S WHAT I FOUND.

SO THAT KNOW THAT WOULD BE OPPRESSIVE. THAT WAS SET.

I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE TO. I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT. SO CAN YOU REPEAT WHAT WHAT THEY DID? THEY ALLOWED ONLY FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE MEMBERS OF THE PEOPLE BEING SWORN IN. THEY NOT ONLY FAMILY MEMBERS WERE ALLOWED DOWN.

>> COMMISSION RULE BY POINT. THE LEGISLATURE WAS PROBABLY NOT IN SESSION CONDUCTING A BUSINESS MEETING. THAT'S WHY I ASKED IF THE SWEARING IN WAS GOING TO TAKE PLACE DURING THE MEETING. BECAUSE IF IT TAKES PLACE DURING THE MEETING YOU HAVE A QUORUM ISSUE AND YOU HAVE THE FACT THAT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC HAVE TO BE ALLOWED IN.

IF YOU HAVE IF YOU CAN'T YOU HAVE TO. YOU HAVE TO HAVE ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC AND YOU CANNOT SAY THAT THEY HAVE FAMILY MEMBERS IN A DIFFERENT CATEGORY THAN OTHER MEMBERS PUBLIC BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT JUST TRYING TO BE OBJECTIVE ABOUT THIS.

SO THAT'S WHY I ASKED IF YOU WERE HAD CONSIDERED HAVING A SWEARING IN CEREMONY PRIOR TO THE MEETING OR RECESSING THE MEETING AND THEN HAVING IT WHICH WOULD ALLOW FAMILY MEMBERS AND BOARD MEMBERS TO BE THE ONLY PARTICIPANTS. BUT IF YOU DO ADJOURN THE MEETING YOU ARE BOUND BY THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT RULES ON ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC.

SO THAT BIT OF BOTH THE LEGISLATURE ONLY ALLOWING FAMILY MEMBERS IN HAS NOTHING TO DO. IT'S APPLES AND ORANGES. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE

ISSUE BEFORE US. >> SO AS I RECALL HAVING NOW TWO OF THE SWEARING ENDS THERE IS NORMALLY NO BUSINESS ARE CONDUCTED. HOWEVER TWO YEARS AGO I CAN

[03:50:02]

I TRIED TO KEEP THE CHAIR. I APPOINTED THE ACE REPRESENTATIVES FROM OUR BOARD.

NOW WE COULD JUST SKIP ANY KIND OF BUSINESS ACTION. ROBIN, YOU GENERALLY HELD THE ELECTION OF OFFICE OFFICERS YOU BUSINESS. SO THAT'S HUNDRED DAYS BETTER.

MADAM CHAIR, THAT'S PROBABLY THE ONLY THING WE HAVE DONE THERE.

>> YES, MR. PATRICK, YOU TOOK THE PLUNGE. >> I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE HOLD THE SWEARING IN HERE AT THE DISTRICT THINKING BRANDY'S TABLE IS A LITTLE BIT CLOSER AND FIND OUT THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT ARE ALLOWED BOARD MEMBERS, SENIOR STAFF FAMILIES, FAMILY MEMBERS AND THEN WHATEVER ROOM THERE IS AFTER THAT.

>> WE JUST LIMITED TO X NUMBER SO WE CAN SAVE SOCIAL EXPENSES. I DO BELIEVE THAT THAT'S HOW SOME OF THE COUNCIL MEETING TO RUN AND CAMERA WHICH POLITY. BUT THEY SAID OKATIE THE FIRST 24 PEOPLE THAT WERE THERE AND TO BE THERE WHEN THEY'RE WHEN THEY'RE FAMILY MEMBERS BEING SWORN IN. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT RIGHT HERE.

FIND OUT THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT CAN SAFELY SIT IN HERE AND ALLOW BOARD MEMBERS ,SENIOR STAFF, NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND FAMILY AND THAT X NUMBER WHENEVER IT TURNS OUT TO BE MR. DARLING, WE CAN'T HEAR YOU, MR. DAN. I TOOK MY HAND.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION? MR. KING? NO, THEY'RE NOT AGAINST THEY'RE NOT. WELL, NOW YOU SAID BUT MR. SMITH SO AND SO AND SO YOU SAW

YEAH. >> YOU SAW YOU ARE CONSIDERING MOVING IT TO THE TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE. IS THAT IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING WAS MR. PATRICK'S SUGGESTION AND WE CAN VOTE ON IT. BUT THERE IS NO MOTION ON THE

FLOOR. >> THANK YOU. I NEVER BACKSTAGE FIRST.

BOARD MEETING IN JANUARY BE CONDUCTED AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE FOR PURPOSES OF SWEARING IN NEW BOARD MEMBERS WITH ALLOWING FAMILY MEMBERS ACCESS TO THE CEREMONY.

>> THE TOTAL NUMBER OF MEMBERS ALLOWED WILL BE DETERMINED BASED ON SAFE SOCIAL DISTANCING. SO MR. GEORGE MAKE A MOTION AND MR. EARL CAMPBELL SECOND THOUGH

ANY DISCUSSION? >> YEAH. YEAH.

GO MR. RIGHT. I JUST DON'T WANT TO. PERHAPS THE WAY I SAID IT YOU MIGHT INTERPRET IT. THAT'S THE ONLY ORDER OF BUSINESS FOR THE SWEARING IN. SO AS SOON AS ROBERT HAS A MOTION WITH THE FIRST BOARD MEETING IN JANUARY BECAUSE UP TO PRODUCED WORKED ON THIS YOU YOU CAN JUST SAY MR. PROFITS

WHICH INCLUDES SWEARING IN EMPLOYMENT. >> THAT WOULD BE A CHECK LIST AS I SAID AND I'M GOING LET THAT BE MISCONSTRUED. SO DOES THAT LEAVE THE WORD

EXCEPTIONS? >> IF YOU WANT TO SAY THE TOTAL NUMBER ALLOWED ENTRY THAT'S DETERMINED BY THE MR. CAMPBELL. IS THE ONLY QUESTION I WOULD HAVE.

IS THERE GOING TO BE SOME TYPE OF WHAT CALLING AN ORDER OF PUBLIC ATTENDING? BECAUSE IF THE PUBLIC SAID NOW TO TURN SOME OF THE SEATS NOT LISTEN TO FAMILY MEMBERS THAT DEEDS AND WHAT THEY'RE HEARING SOME OF THE FAMILY MEMBERS NOT HERE THEN WE REACHED OUR CAPACITY. HERE COMES FAMILY MEMBERS SAY THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

[03:55:06]

AND THEN I THINK THAT IN THE JUSTICE AGENDA SET OUT IN THE NOTICE AND EVERYTHING DURING IN THERE THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT THERE IS LIMITED SEATING DUTY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THAT'S REQUIRED. RIGHT. STAY RIGHT THERE.

NO COMMENT. YOU SAID WELL ALONG DIDN'T TAKE THE TEMPERATURE, MR. SMITH.

>> UNFORTUNATELY OUR SUPPORTERS MOTION BECAUSE IT SAYS ALL TO ONLY ALLOW FAMILY MEMBERS ACCESS TO THE CEREMONY. WE DO. WE OPEN IT UP TO ONE AND WE SHOULD OPEN IT UP TO BOTH. YOU KNOW, MOM, THAT WAS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE, GOOD FOR THE GANDER. SO REMEMBER TO OPEN UP TO OUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND ONCE THEY ARE PUBLIC AND WE OPEN UP TO THE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

YOU KNOW, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE EVEN EVIL AND IF WHEN ONE PERSON IS SWORN IN THE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS LEAVE, LET OTHER PEOPLE COME IN. BUT YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SUPPORT

THIS MOTION BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T MISS THIS THING. >> I'M SO GLAD YOU JUST MENTIONED THAT BECAUSE IN REREADING THE MOTION, YOU KNOW, MY INTENT WAS IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER AVAILABLE SEATS CERTAINLY THE PUBLIC NON FAMILY MEMBERS WOULD BE ALLOWED.

SO I'M SO GLAD YOU SAID THAT BECAUSE PERHAPS EMOTION DOESN'T REALLY READ THAT WAY.

IS THAT YOUR CONCERN? YES, THAT IS MY CONCERN THAT I WILL BE UP TO THE PUBLIC AS WELL AS FAMILY MEMBERS. RIGHT. SO SO ALLOWING FAMILY MEMBERS AND LIMITED PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE CEREMONY BUT THAT WORK WHILE TO ACCESS OUR WHILE LIMITED PUBLIC ACCESS JUST BASED ON SOCIAL DISTANCING THAT'S ALL.

>> ROB ROBIN I. >> CONTINUING ON WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF MY MOTION IS LIMITED TO IT BUT IT WAS BOUND WITH ALLOWING FAMILY MEMBERS AND LIMITED PUBLIC ACCESS.

>> I THINK THAT. THANK YOU MR. DISTRIBUTOR. THERE ARE CISCO'S SUGGESTS THAT AND THE MOTION JUST SAY FAMILY MEMBER ALLOWING FAMILY MEMBERS PRIORITY ACCESS AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO SAY RIGHT? FAMILY MEMBERS AND IF THERE'S ANYTHING LEFT OVER THEN IT'S IN

THE PUBLIC, RIGHT? >> THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT. THAT'S JUST PUT THE WORD IN THERE. FAMILY MEMBERS OR WITH ALLOWING FAMILY MEMBERS PRIORITY ACCESS

EVEN. >> YES, I THINK THAT THAT'S MORE PLAYER SO FAR AS ARE NOT

MR. DOWLING. >> I WILL BE I'LL BE ABSTAINING BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT'S I WON'T

BE A MEMBER OF THE BOARD. >> I MADE MY INPUT. IT'S A CAUTIONARY INPUT TO BE CONSIDERED. THAT'S ALL. BUT I HAVE NO PLACE TO VOTE YES OR NO ONE MISS. SO I'LL ABSTAIN. MR. SMITH, DEBBIE, IT MIGHT BE BETTER AND THE PUBLIC LIMITED LIKE THOSE TWO WORDS AND THE PUBLIC WITH LIMITED ACTION

OKATIE THE EXPLICIT PEOPLE'S NAMES TO THE YEAH. >> WE'RE JUST TRYING TO HELP.

I THINK IT'S ALL RIGHT. SO THE MOTION IS MOTION THAT THE FIRST BOARD MEETING IN JANUARY BE CONDUCTED AT THE DFC OFFICE WHICH IS HERE WHICH INCLUDES THE SWEARING.

[04:00:03]

[Discussion of waiving the 2nd and 3rd Reading of Policy GC-4A – Election Process and changing the term of elected officers to serve one-year term.]

[Discussion of waiving the 2nd and 3rd Reading of Policy GC-4B- Election Process to include the sentence that the ballot is comprised of all nominated candidates.]

>> ALL RIGHT, NEXT ON THE AGENDA OUR DISCUSSION OF WAITING THE SECOND AND THIRD READINGS OF TWO SPECIFIC POLICY ITEMS WHAT POLICY C FOR A WHICH IS THE ELECTION PROCESS AND IT WOULD CHANGE THE TERM OF ELECTED OFFICERS TWO TO ONE YEAR.

>> CURRENTLY IT IS TWO YEARS AND THE OTHER POLICY CONSIDERATION OR WAIVING THE SECOND AND THIRD READINGS IS POLICY GC FOR BEING THE ELECTION PROCESS TO INCLUDE THE SENTENCE THAT THE BALLOT IS COMPRISED ALL NOMINATED CANDIDATES THAT WAS PROBABLY BEST TO HAVE TO HAVE SEPARATE MOTIONS AND WE NEED TO HAVE A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY SINCE WE ARE WAITING OF ALL THIS POLICY READINGS IN ORDER FOR THE MOTION TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

>> ISRAEL REAL BY CHANCE I MOVE THAT WE WAIVE THE SECOND AND THIRD READING OF POLICY GC FOR A ELECTION PROCESS WHICH CHANGE AND CHANGES THE TERM OF ELECTED OFFICERS TO SERVE ONE YEAR

TERMS. >> WE HAVE A SECOND DATED TO SECOND.

>> THANK YOU. MOTION TO WHEN THIS ARSHAD MATTER.

>> I'VE ALWAYS SUPPORTED THIS IN FACT I TRIED DESPERATELY TWO YEARS AGO.

TO GET THIS MOTION ON THE FLOOR PRIOR TO THE ELECTION OF OFFICERS I STILL BELIEVE IN IT OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE I THINK I MADE THE MOTION A MOTHER SENT BACK TO ADD THIS TO OUR POLICY MANUAL THINK IT WAS ME. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'VE LONG BELIEVED IN BECAUSE I DO THINK IT GIVES THE BOARD OPTIONS. BUT I AM CURIOUS WHY THE CHANGE

OF HEART IN THE BOARD NOW AND THE URGENCY TO DO THIS NOW. >> I AM CONFUSED BY IT BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN A GOOD DEAL OF RELUCTANCE WITH IT IN THE PAST.

>> IT'S JUST RIBAUT MUCH RIGHT TO VENTURE TO RESPOND TO MR. SHEFFIELD BELIEVES THAT BOARD MEMBERS FELT THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO GET THIS IMPLEMENTED BEFORE THE UPCOMING

ELECTION. >> WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST IS IRRELEVANT.

THIS IS I THINK THE CURRENT FEELING IN THE BOARD BUT WE'LL FIND OUT AFTER THE VOTE.

>> IT'S OUR SHOP. >> I WOULD AGREE, MR. CHAIRMAN. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST IS PAST. BUT IT'S A SIGNIFICANT SHIFT IN THINKING FROM BOTH FOR THE BOARD AND I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT WHAT IS PROMPTING IT. IS IT? WHAT'S PROMPTING IT? WHY WE RUSH IN THE SECOND AND THIRD ON READING OFF ONE POLICY AS OPPOSED TO OTHERS? I MEAN I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS JUST REJECTING MADAM CHAIR.

[04:05:04]

>> I WOULD SUGGEST MAYBE IT MAYBE DR. WISNIEWSKI IS TO WEIGH IN ON THIS.

I THINK SHE IS THE ONE THAT GOT US MOVING ON THIS BUT I DON'T THINK WE REALLY HAVE TO JUSTIFY IT. I THINK WE JUST VOTE ON IT. DETERMINE WHAT THE WILL OF THE BOARD IS TODAY AND MOVE FORWARD . THAT'S FOR AFTERWARDS ASKING

WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK AND I CAN. >> I HAD BROUGHT FORWARD RECENTLY THE CONVERSATION ABOUT ITEM G WHICH IS WAIVING THE SECOND AND THIRD READING REGARDING THE THE BALLOT A BALLOT OF NOMINATE A CANDIDATE. BECAUSE I BELIEVED DURING WHEN I EXPERIENCED AND I HEARD IT FROM A FEW OTHER FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS WHEN WE WERE NEWLY SEATED THAT THE ELECTION PROCESS WAS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING AND THERE NEEDED TO BE SOME CLARITY ABOUT THE PROCESS AND I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A PRIME OPPORTUNITY AND TIME SENSITIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DO SO NOW PRIOR TO JANUARY AFTER ELECTIONS.

>> ALL RIGHT. MR. WILLIAMS, THE I WOULD SAY THAT I WOULD AGREE WITH EVERY WHAT SOMEWHAT WHAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID BUT ALSO WHAT IT DOES IS IT HELPS TO HELP THINGS SHAKE THINGS UP AT TIMES I GUESS IF THINGS NEED TO BE SHAKEN UP OR THE BOARD LEADERSHIP NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AND THIS GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THAT CHANGE.

>> SO I BELIEVE THAT THAT'S WHY THIS WAS BROUGHT FORWARD BECAUSE SOMETIMES SOMETIMES SOME THINGS HAVE TO BE SHAKEN UP A LITTLE BIT. THINGS NEED TO BE CHANGED.

SO THIS IS THE AY AY AY AY MORE AY OF EASIER AND CLOSER A WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO VERSUS 20 FOR THE 12TH. THANK YOU. IT HAS LESS TO DO WITH CHANGE AND MORE TO DO WITH GIVING MORE PEOPLE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE AND IN CAPACITY.

I THINK IT WHEN YOU HAVE ONE YEAR TERMS YOU ALLOW MORE PEOPLE TO SERVE AS OFFICERS.

THAT'S MR. GALAN. JUST ONE QUESTION I APPLAUD WHOEVER DROVE THE ISSUE TO GET TO US. IT'S LONG OVERDUE. I HAVE A QUESTION I WISH CLEAR TO EVERYONE WHETHER OR NOT SOMEBODY CAN RUN AGAIN WHEN THEY'RE FINISHING THEIR ONE

YEAR TERM OR IS IT A TERM LIMIT ACTUALLY. >> I BELIEVE THAT WE WILL DISCUSS TERM LIMITS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON TO PASS POSSIBLY THIS DISCUSS AT THAT MAYBE EVEN AT THIS TIME. BUT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE OUR OUR CALL IS DISCUSSING THAT MR DOWNER OR OUR SAYING THAT THE PERSON CAN JUST CONTINUE TO GET TO CONTINUE.

DANIEL, I THOUGHT I MEAN ACTUALLY WHEN I MADE THE MOTION THAT THE DO IF THE SOUTH ACTUALLY NATIONAL NOT ON SOMETHING AND THAT BALLPARK CAME UP IT ISN'T WELL IF YOU LIKE LIKE A PORSCHE CHAIRMAN THAT'S SERVING EVERY YEAR THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO VOTE FOR THAT PERSON AND I BELIEVE THAT YOU SUPPORT THAT SAID BECAUSE YOU SAID THAT WHAT IF THE PERSON IS A GREAT SPOT THEN WHY WHY WHY MOVE HIM? SO I THIS I BELIEVE YOU CAN AND I STRONGLY SUPPORT BEING ABLE TO RUN AGAIN SHISH WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MOTION IS CLEAR ENOUGH SO THAT THERE'S NOT AN INTERPRETATION ISSUE LATER AT ALL.

I STRONGLY SUPPORTED MR. I THINK ANYONE TO A ONE VOTE VISION AND AIM TO DO THIS.

>> HE DID A NICE SOME BY TWO TO ONE PROPOSITION LET'S GIVE HIM THAT OPPORTUNITY.

>> IF THEY DON'T WIN THEY DON'T GET A GALLON DOWN. I TOOK MY HAND HE JUST PUT IT

BACK UP I GO VOTING IS NOW OPEN . >> YES NO.

[04:10:17]

>> THE MOTION CARRIES OUT A 10 1. MR. CAMPBELL IS NOW NOW IT'S THE BOARD'S DESIRE TO FURTHER CLARIFY THAT THE BALLOTS COMPRISED OF ALL NOMINATED CANDIDATES UNDER POLICY DC FOR BIG ELECTION PROCESS AND WE WANT TO WAIVE THE SECOND AND THIRD READINGS OF THAT ITEM. THEY WOULD NEED ANOTHER MOTION A SECOND AND THIRD READING

POLICY C FOR THE ELECTION PROCESS. >> AND CAN YOU STATE THE REST OF IT TO THE ACTUAL PROCESS TO INCLUDE THE SENTENCE THAT BALLOT IS COMPRISED OF ALL NOMINATED CANDIDATES. I SAID RACHEL LOGIC COULD BE IT OUT AND RACHEL MAKES OUR CHECK

. >> WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BASE POLICY AND OUR

EXISTING ONE? >> THE LINE? >> DURAN IT ISN'T DIFFERENT.

IT JUST CLEARLY STATES THERE WAS CONFUSION. THERE ARE PEOPLE FELT LIKE CLEARLY STATED BY THERE'S REALLY NO DIFFERENCE IN IT'S JUST ADDING THAT THAT STATEMENT

FOR CLARITY PURPOSES. AND KATHY. >> THANK YOU.

I WAS GOING TO RESPOND TO THAT ALSO I WENT BACK AND WATCHED THE FIRST MEETING WHERE OUR OFFICE ROSE WAS SWORN IN AND EVERYTHING AND AND IT WAS DONE IN SUCH A WAY THAT NO ONE BALLOT WAS NOMINATED. OK, BUT THERE WAS QUESTION AHEAD OF TIME WHERE MR. SCHECK

ACTUALLY HAD ASK JUDGE MONTGOMERY SAID RIGHT LATER. >> MACINTYRE THANK YOU.

I APOLOGIZE, MADAM. MR. MACINTYRE FOR EXACTLY WHAT THE PROCESS WAS SO I BELIEVE THAT THE ADDITION OF THIS ONE LINE INTO OUR POLICY WILL MAKE IT WORTH THERE IS NO THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS RAISED SO WE WILL OPEN FOR VOTING THAT IS THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

. >> ALL RIGHT. >> WE'RE NOW DOWN TO THE COMMITTEE REPORT WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE FROM THIS ISLAND STOKES MURRAY

[Committee Reports: ACE]

>> SURE. I THINK DR. WISNIEWSKI IS GOING TO MAKE A FEW COMMENTS AND I'LL BE JOINING ACADEMICALLY ONE NEXT ANYWAY. JUST SPREAD ABOUT DR. IS NEXT

ME THINKING THAT I'M HERE? >> YES. THE ACE BOARD MET ON NOVEMBER 19TH THEN RECEIVED THE AUDIT FINDINGS OF ELLIOT DAVIS FIRM. THEY REPORTED THAT ACS AND SOUND FINANCIAL CONDITION THAT WAS AN UNMODIFIED OPINION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ENDING JUNE 30TH 20 20 THE DIRECTORS EVALUATION HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND HE HAS BEEN PROVIDED WITH THE RESULTS OF THAT AS MR. CAMPBELL MENTIONED, THE CONTRACT IS PRESENTLY BEING NEGOTIATED FOR THE DIRECTOR. AND WE DISCUSSED CO PURCHASES THAT WERE MADE FOR ACE. THERE WERE SOME FUNDS WERE UTILIZED FROM THE CARES ACT I

[04:15:02]

>> THANK YOUNG. THERE'S NO ACTION NEEDED FROM THE THANK YOU PRESENT TO YOU MR. CAMPBELL AND NEXT WE ARE TO THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE MR. RICHARD, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

>> I SHOULD QUESTION FOR THE MEMBERS. GO AHEAD AT IS ACE LOOKING AT

ANY NEW PROGRAM RIGHT NOW THAT WE KNOW OF ? >> YES, YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION IS ACE LOOKING OR LOOKING FORWARD TO PRESENTING ANYTHING NEW TO THE COMMUNITY

FOR THE NEXT FOR NEXT YEAR OR SO? >> WHY IS THIS ALWAYS ACE LOOKING INTO ANY NEW PROGRAMS POSSIBLY COMING TO ACE I GUESS IS THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY

LOOKING AT AN EMT PROGRAM. >> WAS THAT EXACTLY EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN TECHNICIAN.

>> THANK YOU. >> I MEAN I KNEW WAS ABOUT ONE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC THE PUBLIC MAY NOT WHO MAY BE LISTENING, MAY NOT KNOW, MAY NOT KNOW THAT IS ANYTHING ELSE.

>> YOU KNOW, SOME THINGS THAT JUST LIKE JUST LIKE EVERYWHERE HERE ARE SOME CLAMS HAVE SLOWED DOWN A BIT WITH COMMENT BUT THAT THAT REQUIRES A LOT OF COORDINATION WITH STATE AGENCIES TO ALLOW THE SCHOOL TO OPERATE THAT SO SO AND NOTHING ELSE THAT I CAN RECALL RIGHT OFF THE BAT THAT WAS THE BIG ONE THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO GET IN THEIR OK.

WHAT WERE THEY NOT WORKING ON THE DIESEL MECHANIC ANY MORE? I'M NOT SAYING I'M NOT WORKING ON THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE PIPES IN THE PIPELINE. BUT DR. SOMETHING NEW THAT THEY GET. YEAH, OKAY. OKAY.

NOW I JUST DIDN'T HEAR THE WORD BUT I THINK IT WAS TALKED ABOUT IT BUT I WAS NEVER GOING TO BE WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING AROUND THERE WAS TO TALK. WELL I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE WHETHER THEY WERE ACTUALLY BEGAN TO START ME AS WELL. IT WASN'T ACTUALLY OFFICIAL NOT I'M NOT SURE I CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT. I DON'T HAVE THAT IN MY NOTES

[Committee Reports: Academic Committee]

RIGHT HERE. >> THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT, MR. RICH.

THANK YOU. GOOD LUCK WITH THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE.

THANK YOU, DR. WATTS. THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE MET ON OCTOBER 21ST.

I'M GIVING YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND AND WE REVIEWED PERFORMANCE AS EXPECTATIONS ONE POINT NINE AND THAT SAYS ENSURE THAT EACH STUDENT HAS ACCESS TO GUIDANCE SERVICES THAT INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO COUNSELING, APPRAISAL, MENTORING STAFF CONSULTING REFERRAL AND EDUCATIONAL AND CAREER PLANNING. SO WE MET AND GERRY HENDERSON PRESENTED ONE TONIGHT MIKE. WE STARTED WITH THAT ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE MEETING.

SO WE WERE NOT ABLE TO FINISH IN OCTOBER AND PLUS WE HAD SOME RECOMMENDATIONS AND SOME SUGGESTIONS, SOME REVISIONS NOVEMBER 18TH. MISS HENDERSON BROUGHT BACK A REPORT AND I AM SO VERY HAPPY TO SHARE WITH THE WHOLE FOUR THAT THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY UNANIMOUSLY DECIDED TO TO BRING THIS REPORT FORWARD TO THE FULL BOARD FOR ACCEPTING AT THIS TIME. DR. STRATOS IS GOING TO EITHER GO OVER SOME OF THE MORE SALIENT POINTS OF THE REPORT OR A ONE POINT THAT EVENING BOARD MEMBERS.

WE ALSO HAVE MISS HENDERSON AVAILABLE THIS EVENING FOR QUESTIONING.

I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN POSSESSION OF THE DOCUMENTS SINCE LAST THURSDAY.

THEY WERE UPLOADED INTO BOARD. DR. I'D LIKE TO BRING FORWARD SINCE WE HAD OUR ACADEMIC COMMITTEE AND SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT WAS PUT FORWARD BY THE MEMBERSHIP.

WE HAVE PUT IN PLACE SOME CORRECTIVE ACTION REGARDING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR MULTI TIERED SYSTEM WHERE STUDENTS HAVE HAD A TRAINING OR TRAINING FOR PRINCIPALS WAS CONDUCTED ON DECEMBER 2ND. ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR TEACHERS AND COUNSELORS IS ACTUALLY BEING PUT OUT ON THE 11TH WHICH WILL BE HONORED I BELIEVE IT'S JUST AROUNN EVERYTT THOSE TRAININGS HAVE CONTINUED SINCE OUR LAST MEETING IN DEBT. WE ALSO HAVE PUT FORWARD THE

[04:20:01]

DOCUMENTED. >> SO YOUR RECOMMENDATION BOTH FROM OUR ACADEMIC COMMITTEE WAS TAKEN VERY STRONG TO HEART. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS WE'RE HERE FOR SOME SUPPORT AS WELL AS MRS. HENDERSON. I'M SO IF YOU GO TO PAGE 31 OF THE REPORT, WHAT CAUGHT MY INTEREST WAS THE MEDIA FEED AND THE KEY SO THE ACTU I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN BENCHMARKS AND WE HAVE A LITTLE DESCRIPTIVE DESCRIPTOR THERE THAT SAYS YOU KNOW, THIS IS THESE ARE BASICALLY STUDENTS THAT ARE THE BENCHMARK TELLS US WHICH STUDENTS ARE LIKELY TO SUCCEED

IN THE COLLEGE COURSE FOR THAT SUBJECT. >> AND THEN ALL FOUR SUBJECTS WE HAD IN DIFFERENT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. SO TWELVE POINT SEVEN PERCENT OF THE STUDENTS TAKING THE AC CAME HERE, MET THOSE BENCHMARKS FOR EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE SUBJECTS. SO WHAT'S I CURIOUS WHAT'S THE PERCENTAGE OF COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT SENIORS GO INTO A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY? I MAY NOT HAVE ACCESS THAT

IMMEDIATELY. >> MRS. HENDERSON, DO YOU HAVE THAT DATA WITH YOU IGNORE WHAT DID YOU SHARE WITH OR NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE THAT APPLY TO A FOUR INSTITUTION A SIXTY FIVE POINT SEVEN PERCENT OF THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 2020?

>> OK, YOU SAY APPLY BUT THAT IS THAT DOES THAT APPLY AND ACCEPTED TO AT LEAST ONE SCHOOL

OR APPLY TO AT LEAST ONE OR TWO OR FOUR YEAR INSTITUTIONS? >> AND SO THEN WHAT PERCENTAGE

ACTUALLY MATRICULATE? >> IN REGARDS TO THAT THE DATA DOESN'T HAVE WE DON'T HAVE THAT AS FAR AS THE REPORT IS CONCERNED FROM THE STATE I CAN DO RESEARCH AND CHECK.

BUT WOULD WE SUBMIT THE FRESHMAN REPORT? WE IDENTIFY THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE APPLIED TO A TWO OR FOUR YEAR OR FOUR YEAR INSTITUTION. THAT IS WHAT THE INFORMATION THAT'S REQUIRED FOR US TO SUBMIT NINE MONTHS AFTER GRADUATION WHEN IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY SHOW THOSE THAT MATRICULATED. YEAH.

OK. >> SOME OTHER OTHER COMMENTERS UNDER THE S.A.T. SAY YOU YOU DESCRIBE IT NICELY IN THAT PARAGRAPH ABOVE THE LITTLE CHART BUT STATEWIDE SHOULD REALLY HAVE THE DISCLAIMER OF PUBLIC THEIR BECAUSE YOU ARE ONLY COMPARING OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT CHOOSE STATE STATEWIDE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD ALSO HAVE A STATEWIDE. ALL SCHOOLS OR IS THERE ALSO I GATHER THERE THINK KEY AVERAGES THAT WOULD INCLUDE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WOULD MAKE IT CLEARER.

WHAT WE'RE SHOWING HERE. THAT'S AN EXCELLENT POINT. I THINK IN MR. RIDGE, THANK

YOU. >> I'D ALSO LIKE TO DRAW A FELLOW BOARD MEMBER'S ATTENTION TO PAGE 6 OF THE SECOND DOCUMENT LET'S SAY PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSAL.

SO IN OUR DISCUSSIONS IN OUR COMMUNITY MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, WE TALKED AT LENGTH ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT OUR SCHOOLS COUNSELORS ARE OF THE MYRIAD JOBS THAT SCHOOL COUNSELORS

CARE. >> SO IF YOU LOOK ON PAGE SIX YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME RATIOS AND THOSE THAT YOU SEE A LISTING OF ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS AND THEN YOU SEE IN THE SECOND COLUMN A LISTING THE NUMBERS OF STUDENTS PERFORMING LIFE OTHER DOCUMENTS WHICH PAGE SIX OF THIS DOCUMENT A PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL COUNSELING PROPOSAL ADVANTAGEOUS THING TO THEM.

>> IT'S ALSO PAGE NINE IN THIS PACKAGE ALTHOUGH. >> YEAH.

THANK YOU. IT'S ALSO PAGE 9 IN THE LARGER DOCUMENT.

OK, SO BASICALLY WHAT THAT WHAT THIS CHART IS SHOWING IS THE RATIO OF STUDENTS TO COUNSELORS

[04:25:05]

ALSO HAVE TO REALIZE THAT THE NATIONAL STANDARD FOR STUDENT COUNSELORS IS TWO HUNDRED FIFTY

ONE SANDERSON. >> CAN I ASK YOU JUST TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS? YES, THE AMERICAN SCHOOL COUNCIL ASSOCIATION RECOMMENDED RATIO OF STUDENT TO COUNSELOR IS TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO ONE. HOWEVER, THE SOUTH CAROLINA ECONOMIC EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT ACT STATES AND THAT THE RATIO IS 300 TO ONE AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL WHICH IS 300 TO ONE FROM MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL. HOWEVER, THE GUIDANCE FOR ELEMENTARY IS OUTLINED IN STATE REGULATION CHAPTER 43. AND FOR THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL IT ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE TO ONE BASICALLY EIGHT HUNDRED TO ONE AT THE ELEMENTARY.

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOME OF OUR NUMBERS AND YOU LOOK AT THE RATIO YOU CAN SEE THAT THERE IS THERE IS NO WAY THAT OUR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS CAN SERVE OUR STUDENTS WHEN THEY HAVE FOUR HUNDRED THIRTY EIGHT KIDS WHEN THEY HAVE SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY NINE KIDS.

>> IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT HILTON HEAD ISLAND HIGH SCHOOL THAT'S MIGHT BE RIGHT NEXT TO IT JUST

LIKE I GOING TO TELL YOU ABOUT INSTEAD OF JUST AREA FOR. >> YEAH.

SO SO. SO ANYWAY YOU CAN JUST SEE THAT THE NUMBERS OF STUDENTS PER COUNSELOR IN THE TIME TIMES THAT WE ARE IN WHEN SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HEALTH WHEN THEY ALL THE JOBS AT GUIDANCE COUNSELORS DO. I'M JUST ADVOCATING THAT WHEN IT COMES TO BUDGET TIME IF WE CAN'T REMEMBER THIS CHART I SAY MORE ABOUT THAT GOT TO START.

>> THAT IS AN ITEM THAT MRS. HENDERSON MYSELF THAT HAD CONVERSATION AT LENGTH WITH REAGAN OVER THAT BUDGET. WE WILL START OUR BUDGET AN ALLOCATION DATE IN THE THIS CROSBY MR. BENNETT STARTING WITH THE END OF JANUARY AND WE WERE READY HAD A CONVERSATION MYSELF WITH A TONY REGARDING WHAT TO LOOK AT. THIS IS BECAUSE YOU YOU BREAK ME UP WITH REGARD TO MAYBE SOME POSITIONS THAT WE COULD CHIP AND TAKE SOME OF THE LOAD AS WE SHIP INTO FACE TO FACE, RECOGNIZE UPGRADED DEMAND AS WELL IN SCHOOL NOT ONLY FOR

ACADEMIC BUT SOMEONE TO TALK TO RIGHT. >> SO BACK AND PLUMES REPORTED THERE ARE NO MORE QUESTIONS THERE. MR. RIGHT HAVE ED CARTLEDGE

JOIN THE MEETING, DAVID. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. >> JUST A QUICK QUESTION ON OUR STUDENT COUNSELOR RATIO THAT I HAD. WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE SLASH MARK TELLING ME THE FIRST COLUMN IS THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF STUDENTS IN THE BUILDING DIVIDED BY THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE BUILDING THAT'S IN THE LAST CALL THAT'S I'M TRYING TO GET A SINGLE NUMBER THAT TELLS ME THE STUDENT COUNSELOR RATIO WHICH WHICH NUMBER IS THAT LIKE LIST LET'S SAY HELP HILTON HEAD ELEMENTARY IS THE RATIO 771 TO 1 OR IS IT THREE EIGHTY FIVE POINT FIVE TO ONE TOTAL POPULATION SEVEN SEVENTY ONE AND THERE ARE TWO COUNSELORS AND THE COUNSELORS CASE LOAD IS

THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY FIVE FOR EACH. >> OK, SO THAT FIRST NIGHT

BEFORE THE SLASH MARK IS REALLY IRRELEVANT. >> WHAT IS ACTUALLY THE TOTAL

STUDENT POPULATION IN THE BOOK? >> YOU KNOW I HAVE THAT I IT'S JUST THE RATIO INSIDE GOT

THROWN OFF BY THAT TOTAL BEING IN THERE. >> THANK YOU.

SO IF YOU NOTICED HOW HAD CREATIVE ARTS 500 NINETY FOUR TO ONE IT'S A LOT OF LITTLE ONES FOR ONE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR AND FOR THE RECORD TO MAKE NOTE THAT HILL MET HIGH SCHOOL IS AT THREE THIRTY NINE TO ONE RATIO AND THE CORRECT NUMBER SPLITS HIS NASTY THANK YOU MADAM

CHAIR. >> MY QUESTION MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY A SHIFT BUT STILL RELEVANT TO THIS AND MOSTLY HAS TO DO WITH THE COUNSELORS ARE THERE IN THE BUILDING THERE THEY'RE MEETING WITH STUDENTS BUT I'M ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE MENTAL HEALTH OF STUDENTS THAT ARE INCREASINGLY ISOLATED DUE TO CO BID AND THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES SURROUNDING THAT.

SO MY QUESTION IS IS THERE ANYTHING BEING DONE AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL TO TRACK THESE

[04:30:04]

SURE. >> BUT I'M JUST ONE OF THOSE ADDITIONAL MEASURES OR PROTOCOLS BEING TAKEN OR IF WE HAVE ANY TYPE OF PROGRAMS THAT WE'RE UTILIZING FOR THAT PERHAPS OKATIE IF I COULD SHARE WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH COMPONENT AS WE'D LOOK ENTERING

INTO OUR SCHOOLS AND THIS IS WALTON IS ONLINE AS WELL. >> WE'RE LOOKING AT ONE FORM WITH REGARD TO PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO COUNSELORS FOR NOT ONLY OUR STUDENTS BUT ALSO FOR THE EDUCATORS IN OUR BUILDING. WE RECOGNIZE AS A DISTRICT AND AS A SENIOR STAFF THAT MANY OF OUR EDUCATORS IN A PERIOD OF BEING AN ISOLATION OR THE AS WE SHIFT I MAY NEED SOMEONE TO HAVE CONVERSATION WITH JUST TO TALK ABOUT MY ANXIETY AND THAT'S A HEALTHY STATE OF MIND FOR EVERYONE. WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING A PARTNERSHIP OUTSIDE AGENCY TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING, COUNSELING, ACCESSIBILITY TO OUR STUDENTS THAT IS STILL BEING FORMALIZED FOR US.

THIS IS CROSBY HAS BEEN RATHER GENEROUS WITH REGARD TO BEING ABLE TO FIND FUNDS TO HELP WITH OUR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL AND OUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DELICIOUS SAY OR EMOTIONAL BEING OF OUR CHILDREN STAFF. SO IF THIS IS WALTON WANTS TO SHARE THAT AND I CAN ALSO ASK MRS. HENDERSON TO SPEAK TO THE POINT THAT PROFESSIONALLY COUNSELORS KEEP A LOG OF WHEN TO CONTACT CHILDREN. SO IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS A I GO AND TELL MY MOM MOM I DID GO TELL THE COUNSELOR THAT LAW SHOULD BE KEPT. MRS. HENDERSON COULD SPEAK MORE TO PROTOCOL WITH FRANCIS FIRST OF ALL PEEPING UP ON PAGE 13 OF A LARGE PACKAGE OR ROBBY EVEN LOAD IT UP. THOSE ARE A LIST OF PROVIDERS THAT WE HAVE A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH IN TOWN. THOSE PROVIDERS SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS AND COUNSELORS AND SOCIAL WORKERS BECAUSE WE WORK HAND AND CAN MAKE REFERRALS TO PARENTS WHEN THERE IS A NEED FOR STUDENTS IN REGARDS TO A UNIFORM PROGRAM WITHIN THE DISTRICT DURING THE SUMMER.

THE DISTRICT ADOPTED WHAT WE CALL PANORAMA WHICH IS A SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL PROGRAM THAT PROVIDE STUDENTS SERVICES TO ADOPT IDENTIFY THOSE STUDENTS WHO NEED SERVICES IN OCTOBER THE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH WITH ALL STUDENTS IN THE DISTRICT TO IDENTIFY IF THEY NEEDED SOME SUPPORT IN REGARD TO SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COUNSELING.

WE RECEIVED THAT DATA AND WE WILL BE REVIEWING THAT DATA AND SHARING IT WITH LEADERSHIP TEAMS IN THE SCHOOLS RIBAUT IN REGARDS TO THE RESULTS. ALSO THE DISTRICT PURCHASED THE PROGRAM BRABHAM. IT IS AMAZING TOO. IF EACH STUDENT AS.

IF A STUDENT RAT WRITE A STATEMENT OR AN EMAIL AND IN THAT EMAIL THEY TYPE THE WORD SUICIDE AUTOMATICALLY THAT GENERATES AN MAIL TO THE LEADERSHIP TEAM AND THE SCHOOL AND THE DISTRICT STAFF AND INTERVENTION IT OCCURS IMMEDIATELY.

I WOULD TELL YOU SINCE WE ADOPTED THIS PROGRAM AND I APPLAUD ALICE WALTON AND KIKI IN A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT THIS SUMMER TO BRING THIS ON BOARD, I'VE GOTTEN CALLS ON THE WEEKEND WITH THE STUDENT NAME FROM A PARTICULAR SCHOOL AND I'VE HAD TO REACH OUT TO THE PRINCIPAL, THE COUNSELOR THAT ACT IMMEDIATELY DOING THE COURSE OF A WEEKEND.

SO INSTANTLY WE KNOW WHEN A STUDENT MAKE A COMMENT ON THEIR DEVICE.

SO THEY'RE THE NUKE PROBLEMS THAT THE DISTRICT ADOPTED THIS YEAR IS PANORAMA AND GRAB YOU MEAN GAGGLE? YES. NO BROWN GAGGLE.

I'M SORRY. >> YEAH I'M RIGHT THERE WITH GAGGLE AT I'M REALLY PLEASED TO HEAR THAT WE HAVE THAT THAT IS A WONDERFUL GOAL AND HELPS KIND OF TO FILL THAT GAP.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT'S GOOD INFO FOR US TONIGHT.

>> AND DR. WISNIEWSKI, JUST TO BUILD ON THAT ON SENIOR STAFF REALLY WHAT WE SEE IN TRAINING IN PANORAMA AND AS WELL AS IN THE DATA FROM SURVEYS THAT'S GOING TO BE PROVIDED TO US ON A 15TH BY THE VENDOR. SO WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE LOOK SET SO THAT WE CAN MAKE EVEN BETTER DETERMINATION WHAT ELSE WE MAY NEED TO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. KELLY.

>> THANK YOU. COULD WE GO BACK TO THE RATIO CHART FOR A SECOND? OK, THERE WE GO. OK, BUT CAN WE TAKE A LOOK AT BEAUFORT GUILFORD HIGH SCHOOL, BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL IN HILTON HEAD HIGH SCHOOL? IT OK.

[04:35:03]

HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT OF LOAD BALANCING TO HAVE A SOME COUNSELORS WORKING IN MORE THAN ONE SCHOOL SO THAT A SCHOOL COULD HAVE FOUR AND A HALF COUNSELORS AND GET THEIR RATIO DOWN BECAUSE THEIR DEBT IS QUITE A BIG DISPARITY? 241 TO 320 TO SEVENTY TO 378.

THAT'S ALL OVER THE MAP ON THAT ONE. >> HOW HIGH IS ACCURATE?

>> IT'S ACTUALLY FOUR FORTY FIVE. FOR COUNSELORS SIX OF ABOUT

SPORTS. >> SO WHAT IS THE HILTON HEAD? ACTUALLY I THIS TO DOWNING I DO APOLOGIZE. I DID CHAIR AND I WAS NOT CLEAR ENOUGH IN MY EXPLANATION.

IT IS THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE TO ONE RATIO SIR, I DO APOLOGIZE.

ALL RIGHT. THAT MAKES A LITTLE BIT MORE SENSE BUT IT IS THE DISTRICT OPEN TO BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE ABOUT LOAD BALANCING IN TERMS OF THE AMOUNT OF COUNSELORS THAT ARE IN ANY ONE GIVEN SCHOOL. AGAIN WE HAVE BEAUFORT HIGH WITH FIVE AND THEY HAVE AN EXCELLENT RATIO. OK.

AND THEN THE OTHER THREE HIGH SCHOOLS HAVE FOUR AND THEY HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATIOS.

SO I WOULD BE IF WE CAN'T HAVE A GREATER NUMBER OF COUNSELORS ,PERHAPS WE CAN LEVEL OUT

BETWEEN THE SCHOOLS THE COVERAGE. >> SO IT MAKES SENSE.

>> YES, SIR. THAT MAKES SENSE. >> JUST A SUGGESTION IS JUST JUST TO GO BACK TO SOME OF WHAT I MISSED DARYN WAS SAYING LET ME ASK A QUESTION IS THE SCHOOL GIVEN A BUDGET FOR THE COUNCIL BECAUSE I GUESS I JUST KNOWS THAT WE PASSED FIVE OF THEM AS A SCHOOL. ARE THEY GIVEN THE BUDGET FOR THAT? I KNOW I KNOW WE DO COMPARTMENTALIZE. ARE THE PRINCIPALS GIVEN A

BUDGET FOR THAT PARTIES? >> AND MR. MURRAY. YES.

MISS CHRISTOFI, WERE YOU TAKE THAT ONE. >> YES, SIR.

>> THERE IS A FORMULA FOR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS FOR HIGH SCHOOLS.

WE SEEK TO REACH A THREE HUNDRED TO ONE RATIO AND THAT FORMULA IS ALLOCATED ANNUALLY AND ASSESSED BASED ON BUDGETARY ABILITIES TO INCREASE OR REVENUE AVAILABLE.

SO YES OR THERE IS AN ALLOCATION FORMULA. >> OK.

SO CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THEIR PROCESSES THERE IS A FORMULA THAT IS ESTABLISHED STAFFING A BASIC STAFFING ALLOCATION FORMULA. I BELIEVE THAT I PROVIDE IT ANNUALLY IN THE BUDGET INFORMATION THAT I PROVIDE TO THE BOARD.

AND THAT FORMULA IS APPLIED TO THE PROJECTED ENROLLMENT TO COME OUT WITH THE PROJECTED RECOMMENDED AMOUNT AND IF FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE THOSE BROUGHT FORWARD AND IF INCREASES OR DECREASES APPLY THEN THEY WOULD THOSE CHANGES WOULD BE BROUGHT FORWARD TO THE BOARD STRUGGLE THAT WILL REDUCE SHE'S TALKING FUNDAMENTAL BUT I'M TALKING ABOUT THE SIMPLE PROCESS SUCH AS OK THERE IS STILL PALM IS THESE GUYS DEPARTMENT MAYBE GIVING FOR INSTANCE BUT ALLOWS OK IN THERE FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. OK, LET'S SAY FOR INSTANCE YOU'RE SERVING A THOUSAND A THOUSAND THOUSANDS IT'S SO HELLO.

>> I'LL BE HAPPY THAT SO I ASSUMED YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT STAFFING SINCE THIS WAS ABOUT

STAFFING RATIOS. >> SO I APOLOGIZE FOR CONTINUING ON WITH THAT

[04:40:04]

HE'S MATH CORRECT AMOUNT THAT IS ALLOCATED FOR SALARIES FOR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS.

>> CORRECT. >> THEY'RE ALLOCATED THE POSITION OF GUIDANCE COUNSELOR.

RIGHT. RIGHT. DESCRIBES IT.

THAT'S CORRECT. SUPPLIES ARE NOT ALLOCATED BASED ON THE NUMBERS OF STAFF AND THEY ARE ALLOCATED IN A SEPARATE SUPPLY ALLOCATION THAT'S PROVIDED IN WHOLE TO THE SCHOOL ON A PER PUPIL BASIS BASED ON THE ENROLLMENT PROJECTION.

>> SO MY QUESTION WAS THE WHOLE COMMUNITY TO DETERMINE WHICH DEPARTMENTS RECEIVE WHICH BUT

SUPPLY BUDGETARY AMOUNTS. >> IT IS NOT BASED ON THE STAFFING LEVELS WITHIN THOSE

DEPARTMENTS. >> THAT'S NOT MY QUESTION. BUT YES, OF COURSE MY QUESTION WAS BASICALLY ARE PRINCIPALS IN THE HEAD OF GUYS COUNSELORS ARE THEY I THINK GIVEN A TOUR A NUMBER THAT'S ALLOCATES SPENDING TOWARDS GUIDANCE STAFF THAT'S JUST FOR SALARIES?

>> IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO? RIGHT.

NO, SIR. THEY ARE GIVING GIVEN NUMBER OF FTE FULL TIME EQUIVALENTS THEY'RE ALLOCATED 10 FULL TIME EQUIVALENT. NOT WE DO NOT DICTATE THE DOLLARS THAT THEY MUST STAY WITHIN. NO.

OK. YOU WITHOUT NOLS AND I'M PAYING EVERY EMPLOYEE HOURS ARE BASICALLY I KNOW THE PRINT A WHOLE OF THE THAT I'M PAYING THEM AND FOR HOW LONG WILL I

HAVE THEM? >> I CAN'T HAVE GOTTEN HIRED EMPLOYEES, YOU KNOW, BASED UPON THEIR SALARY. SO I'M ASKING FOR EVERY POSITION IS THERE FOR EVERY DEPARTMENT. ARE THEY GIVEN THEY'RE LOOKING FOR GUYS DEPARTMENT THIS YEAR YOU HAVE AN ASSISTANT COACHES WE KNOW THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF STAFF STIPENDS THAT WE GIVE TO EVERY COACH OR WE USE THE 80S. SO AN ATHLETIC DIRECTOR KNOWS HOW MUCH HOW MUCH HE HAS, WHAT BASKETBALL PROGRAM, HOW MUCH HIS HEAD COACH YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HE CAN GIVE HIS HEAD COACH AND HOW YOU AS HEAD COACH CAN THE MONEY AMONG DIFFERENT COACHES. SO I'M ASKING THE SAME THING FOR BEFORE GUIDANCE COUNSELOR.

THERE'S ALSO THE DEPARTMENT. >> HOLD ON. >> NO, I UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU'RE GOING IT. IT'S IT'S IT'S NOT LIKE THAT IT'S NOT A STIPEND THAT'S GIVEN SO SO THEY RECEIVE NO THEY DON'T. THEY DON'T GET THE SALARY.

THEY GET THE POSITION WHEN SHE SAYS FTE FTE IS A POSITION. SO HOW MANY? I THINK YES, THEY GET. THEY JUST GET THE POSITION. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES. YEAH. YES, SIR.

YEAH. THAT DID NOT. OKAY.

THAT'S WHY I WAS GIVING IT. IT'S OKAY. SO BASICALLY YOU JUST GIVE THEM THE AMOUNT OF FTD EVERY YEAR THIS CROWD I COULD YOU REPHRASE THAT I'M SORRY I SAID SO BASICALLY YOU REACH OUT TO THE PRINCIPALS AND YOU GIVE THEM AMOUNT OF EVERY FTE PER SCHOOL

. >> YES. OR WE MEET INDIVIDUALLY WITH EVERY PRINCIPAL AND DISCUSS THEIR STAFFING ALLOCATIONS AND WE DO GIVE THEM THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS THAT THEY ARE BEING ALLOCATED EACH YEAR. OK.

>> SO WE WOULD DO THAT. YOU SAID SO WHAT'S THE PROCESS? IF THEY NEED ANOTHER FTE,

WHAT'S THE PROCESS? >> THEY CAN CONTACT FORGETTING WE'RE DIVERGING FROM WHAT'S WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. YOU KNOW THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS HERE.

IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF YOUR QUESTIONS TO ME. I'M UNDERSTANDING YOUR QUESTIONS WITH THIS MAN ARE RELATED TO THE BUDGET. SO HOW DOES IT RELATE TO THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR DISCUSSION WE'RE HAVING? THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO STAY ON

THAT DISCUSSION. >> BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BASICALLY AS YOU MAKE WHERE WE GO. WE NEED COUNSELORS AND SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S THE PROCESS OF GETTING THE COUNSELORS AND WHERE WHAT'S THE POINT IS THAT WE'VE BEEN USE.

SO I MEAN I MEAN INVESTMENT THAT'S WHY SUE ASSUME BECAUSE I KNOW I HEAR A LOT OF I THINK A LOT OF PHONE CALLS ABOUT THAT GUYS COMES AS A SOMETIMES UNDERSTANDING.

>> NOW IT'S NOT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GUYS COUNSELORS I MEAN THIS HOSPITAL DR.

RODRIGUEZ CAN TALK ABOUT REDUCING. >> CAN YOU PLEASE ADDRESS THAT? YOU KNOW, WHAT'S THE PROCESS HOW A SCHOOL IS ALLOCATED? BUT ACTUALLY THEY WERE IN THE

PROCESS OF TELLING ME BEFORE YOU STOP THE. >> GO AHEAD.

[04:45:01]

>> GO AHEAD. PRESCRIBE. SO I BELIEVE AND I MENTIONED

THIS EARLIER BUT THE STAFFING ALLOCATION IS APPLIED. >> WE COMMUNICATE WITH THE PRINCIPALS PROVIDE A NUMBER IF THEY ARE SEEKING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES IN THE FORM OF PHYSICIANS. PRINCIPALS ARE FREE TO REACH OUT TO MISS WALTON AND I OR ANY OTHER SENIOR STAFF MEMBER ANY DECISION HAS WILL BE DEPENDS ON WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR IT IS.

ARE WE BUILDING THE BUDGET? DO WE NEED TO INCLUDE IT IN THE BUDGET AND BRING THAT FORWARD TO THE BOARD OR IS IT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS AND ISH ADDRESS A NEED MIDYEAR ONCE THE BUDGET HAS ALREADY BEEN CREATED ? BUT WE WILL ASSESS THOSE NEEDS WITH THE WITH DR. STRATUS AS WELL AND THEN MEET WITH DR. RODRIGUEZ.

IF MANY PHYSICIANS NEEDED TO BE ADDED SAY MIDYEAR OR AND THEN WE WOULD IDENTIFY BUDGETARY RESOURCES TO HELP FUND THAT. SO WHETHER IT'S DURING THE BUDGET PROCESS AND WE REQUEST TO BE AN ADDITION TO THE BUDGET OR LOOK FOR FUNDING MID-YEAR IF IF THAT NEED ARISES.

>> THANK YOU. WHAT WAS MOST IMPORTANT FOR YOU ,CAMPBELL?

>> I WAS ON THE SAME LINES AS WELL NOT IN TERMS OF HOW THE BUDGET OPERATES BUT OUR PRIORITIES AS STATED IN THE BUDGET IF IF WE ARE IN FACT GOING TO INCREASE THOSE GUIDANCE CUSTOMERS AND I THINK THIS HOW DO WE DO IT? WELL, WE MORE MONEY WE CAN GET GREATER STATED THAT WE COULD MOVE A POSITION FROM HERE TO THERE.

THAT'S GOT OUR THAT'S OUR GOAL. CONNIE MEAN THE CONSTITUENTS NEED TO KNOW THAT WE'VE GOT TO

IMPROVE OUR PROGRAMS. >> THIS IS THE FACT OF WHAT WE HAVE AND WE NEED THAT FACT TO CHANGE BY NUMBERS AND NUMBERS. THEY HAVE TWO YEARS GOING TO GO UP AND THE BUDGET IS GOING TO GO UP. I THINK THAT'S WHAT WILL WANT TO GET THE NUMBERS CHANGED.

WELL, WE NEED MORE MONEY SO WHEN WE TALK BUDGET, YOU KNOW OUR FOCUS AS THE IS TO BE FOCUSED ON THE NEW PROGRAMS, THE ADDITIONAL STAFF MEMBERS THAT'S NEEDED WHICH IS MAKE THAT IS A GOAL THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING. WE CAN'T HOLD THE BUDGET AND EXPECT THE EXPANSION TO HAPPEN. THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S A IS WAS MY COMMENT ABOUT THIS.

I THINK WE DO NEED TO MAKE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS OUR TITULAR LEADER THIS TIME AND DAVE AND HOW DO WE MAKE IT A PRIORITY NOT TO GET RID OF THE MATH TEACHERS YOU HAVE BOTH.

SO THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S MY JOB AT SAID RIDGE. >> THANK YOU, MR. CAMPBELL.

AND THAT IS WHY I DREW EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS CHART.

AND I BELIEVE I STARTED BY SAYING WHEN IT COMES TO BUDGET TIME, LET'S REMEMBER THIS CHART . I DO WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT. I HAVE A QUESTION MISUNDERSTAND . WHEN WE HAD THE JOINT YES. I SEE IT ON THE OTHER HAND TAX GOT THE GROUP THAT I JOINED. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW ARE WE ADDRESSING SOME OF THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS? SO ONE SCHOOL MENTIONED THAT THEY'RE USING THE PANORAMA AND HOW PLEASED THEY WERE WITH THE RESULTS FROM THE SURVEY BECAUSE THEY WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO HAVE THAT DATA TO DETERMINE WHAT THEIR STUDENTS NEEDED.

AND SO ANYWAY, I THINK THAT'S FABULOUS. I THINK IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY INTERESTING PROGRAM. THE SECOND THE QUESTION I HAVE DR. STRATOS I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS FOR YOU OR PERHAPS MISS WALTON. MARY, YOU MENTIONED THAT

COUNSELING SERVICES. >> WE ARE A LOT OF OUR FOCUS. ABSOLUTELY IS ON THE STUDENTS.

BUT YOU MENTIONED THE TEACHERS. A LOT OF TEACHERS ARE FEARING FEELING ISOLATED.

SO WHAT IS. I HEARD ABOUT THE COUNSELING SERVICES BEING OFFERED TO OUR TEACHERS. BUT WHAT'S THE PROCESS? HOW DOES A TEACHER GO ABOUT ACCESSING THOSE SERVICES IN A VERY PRIVATE WAY AND CAN SOMEONE SHARE WITH US HOW THAT'S DONE? AND THEN THE SECOND PART TO THAT IS HOW DO THE TEACHERS KNOW THEM? WHERE ARE THEY GETTING THE INFORMATION? LIKE ARE THE PHONE NUMBER TO CALL? THEY COULD ONLY SHARE A CURSORY BECAUSE THIS IS WALDEN AND MRS. SWINTON HAVE BEEN VERY ESSENTIAL AT PROVIDING IN

BUILDING THIS RELATIONSHIP WITH A PROVIDER. >> BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE PRINCIPALS ARE GOING TO BE WRITING TEACHERS TAKE INFORMATION AND DISCRETELY WITHIN THE SCHOOL. AND IF THIS IS WALTON CAN COME ON AND GIVE A LITTLE MORE

[04:50:07]

I WASN'T PREPARED NOR DID I JUST ACADEMIC. I'VE SPENT.

SO MISS WALTON, CAN YOU SHARE THE PROCESS OF ALL THE I CAN SHARE WHERE WE ARE IN THE

ENTERPRISE STEPS? >> ACTUALLY MOST REJECT WE ARE. WE BEGAN A RELATIONSHIP WITH OUR OUTSIDE PARTNER TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO. WE HAD THE INCIDENT AT HILTON HEAD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THE TEACHER AND THE STUDENT. AND THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED TO OFFER GROUP SESSIONS FOR TEACHERS AND SOME INDIVIDUALS SESSIONS FOR TEACHERS WHO HAD THE NEED FOR SUPPORT. SO WHAT WE WHAT WE WERE ACTUALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF NOW AND WE DO PLAN A ROLL OUT OF THIS THAT WE'VE TALKED TO THE TEACHER FORUM.

THEY ARE AWARE THAT THESE SERVICES COMING DOWN THE PIKE BUT WE ARE GOING TO DO A BIG ROLLOUT WITH ALL SPECIFICS HOW YOU GET IN TOUCH WITH THE GROUP, HOW YOU KEEP IT PRIVATE IF YOU NEED COUNSELING SERVICES, JUST WHAT THAT PROCESS IS.

AND WE ARE WORKING ON THAT NOW. BUT FOR NOW THOSE TEACHERS WHO KNOW WANT THOSE SERVICES.

THEY CAN ALWAYS CALL ME AND I CAN REFER OR I CAN GIVE THEM THE DIRECT NUMBER TO HELP PERFORM SYSTEMS AND THEY CAN DO IT THEMSELVES BUT THEY WILL KNOW ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WILL BE A ROLL OUT IS GOING TO BE A BIG DEAL AND WE'RE GOING TO EVEN HAVE A HASHTAG TO MAKE IT A SOFT PLACE FOR TEACHERS TO SEEK SUPPORT AND NOT FEEL ANY RETRIBUTION FOR THAT.

>> THAT'S EXCELLENT. AND WHY DO YOU ANTICIPATE THE ROLLOUT?

>> WE ARE WORKING ON IT. WE WERE TRYING TO GET IT OUT BEFORE EVERYONE WENT HOME FOR CHRISTMAS. BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING THINGS TWEAKED.

OUR BENEFITS DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OUR PARTNER SO WE CAN HAVE ALL INFORMATION READY FOR TEACHERS ONCE IT'S ROLLED OUT. SO I'M HOPING IF NOT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR FOR SURE. AND JUST ONE LAST QUESTION, MISS WALTON DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE IT TO BE A SUBSCRIBER OF THE BEAUFORT KIND OF SCHOOL

DISTRICT BENEFITS TO TO USE THIS SERVICE? >> NO, YOU DO NOT.

YOU CAN DO IT AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN. YOU CAN USE YOUR BENEFITS.

BUT WHAT WE HAVE WORKED OUT IS SPECIAL RATES FOR EMPLOYEES IF THEY DON'T WANT TO USE THEIR BENEFITS BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF PEOPLE IN ORDER TO USE THE SERVICE.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH. IT'S REAL. YES.

I JUST WANTED TO PROVING IT TO EVERYONE'S ATTENTION THAT THERE'S ANOTHER POSITION IN THE COUNSELING RANKS THAT WE ARE LACKING IN THAT ARE IT'S ACTUALLY STIPULATED BY STATE REGULATIONS. HOWEVER, OF COURSE LOTS OF THINGS ARE STIPULATED BUT NOT FUNDED. AND IT'S THE CAREER DEVELOP FACILITATOR AND THE CAREER SPECIALISTS. THE LAW SAYS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A CAREER DEVELOPMENT FACILITATOR AT ALL OF OUR HIGH SCHOOLS AND A CAREER SPECIALIST AT ALL OF OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

WE ARE LACKING GREATLY LACKING IN THAT CURRENTLY WE HAVE TWO HIGH SCHOOLS THAT HAVE A FULL TIME CAREER DEVELOPMENT FACILITATOR AND THIS IS FOUND PAGE 7 IN THE REPORT.

I JUST WANTED TO BRING EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS BECAUSE I PERSONALLY THINK THAT THESE POSITIONS REALLY ARE CRITICAL TO SERVING AS THE BRIDGE FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT ARE LOOKING FOR MAYBE GOING ON TO TECHNICAL SCHOOL OR GOING INTO THE WORKFORCE AND AT THE SAME TIME THESE POSITIONS TAKE SOME OF THE WEIGHT AWAY FROM THE GENERAL COUNSELORS.

>> SO I JUST WANTED TO BRING THAT UP. AT SOME ONE, MR. SMITH.

I DO AGREE WITH MRS. ROBOT AND THAT THAT WOULD DEFINITELY WOULD HELP WITH THE NUMBERS THAT WE WERE JUST GIVE IT. WE WERE JUST GIVEN BUT ALSO FOR MOST OF THE CLASSES IS BASED ON THE SAME. THEN WHY IS THERE A DISPARITY IN THE KIT AND THE COUNSELORS

AND THE STUDENT RATIO? >> WELL, I MEAN ONE I HAVEN'T STUCK IN ONE THING WOULD BE

OBVIOUSLY. >> I KNOW THAT. >> OF COURSE FOR OUR READERS

AND HIS STAFF AND AFTER I READ IT THAT'S FINE. >> YOU CAN USE IT.

[04:55:01]

MR. CROSBY, CAN YOU REPEAT THAT QUESTION? >> I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR THE ENTIRE THING IF THE FORMER FOR COUNSELORS IS BASED ON THE SAME.

>> THEN WHY IS THERE A DISPARITY IN THE COUNSELORS AND THE STUDENT RATIO? THERE COULD BE A I BELIEVE ONE OF THE SCHOOLS THAT REQUESTED AND RECEIVED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT DUE TO HEAVY WORKLOADS. SO I BELIEVE THAT BEAUFORT HIGH SCHOOL DID RECEIVE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. I BELIEVE BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOLS RATIO MAY BE INCORRECT ON THE FORM. IT'S ACTUALLY TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY SIX TO ONE WITH THREE COUNSELORS SO THEY ARE. IF WE WERE AND THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE IN LINE THEN IS INDICATED THERE. BUT IF WE WERE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL ONE IT WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER AT SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOLS. SO AS WE APPLY THE RATIO WE BALANCE OUT AND AS THE BUDGET ALLOWS WE MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AND PRIORITIES OF WHAT WHAT IS ABLE TO BE FUNDED IN THE BUDGET. AND SO IT'S REALLY A BUDGETARY

DECISION AT THAT POINT. >> SO SO. SO WHOSE FAULT IS IT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TO IT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR FOR THE FOUR COURSES AND THE LARGER SCHOOLS IF IT'S BASED ON THE PROJECTION OF THE ENROLLMENT IN THE SOUTH AND THE

SOUTH FOR THE BROAD SCHOOLS? >> SIR, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S ANYONE'S FAULT.

>> WHEN WE HAVE STAFFING CONVERSATIONS THE PRINCIPALS OFTEN MAKE HAVE PRIORITIZED THEIR STAFFING REQUESTS AND THERE MAY BE OTHER REQUESTS THAT ARE MADE OVER SOME REQUESTS THAT ARE MADE IN CERTAIN POSITIONS OVER OTHERS. SO ULTIMATELY WE'RE BOUND BY THE REVENUES THAT WE CAN SUPPORT. THIS BUDGET.

AND SO IF THERE IS A PRIORITY FOR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS WE CAN CERTAINLY ADDRESS THAT AND BRING DOWN THOSE RATIOS DURING BUDGET TIMES AND THAT CAN BE A DISCUSSION OF THE BOARD AND WHAT IS APPROVED IN THAT BUDGET TO ME. BUT WE WILL BUT WE WOULD NEED TO BE WE WILL THE BOARD NEED TO HAVE THAT INFORMATION ALL WAY WAY BEFORE THE WAY BEFORE BUDGET SEASON GETS THERE. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN BE PUTTING OUR MINDS ON GOING INTO GOING INTO IT. THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE CAN GET A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THE WEEK BEFORE THE BUDGET MEETING ALSO. ALSO REAL QUICK ABOUT WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT WHAT MRS. MAXIMIZES ROBOT IN QUESTION AND NUMBER AROUND.

I HAVE ONE TALK ABOUT GUYS HOUSES BUT HOW ARE WE INVOLVING GUIDANCE COUNSELORS ALONG WITH SOCIAL WORKERS BECAUSE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS AND SOCIAL WORKERS THOSE ROSE THEY INTERTWINE A WHOLE LOT. AND I KNOW SOME OF THE LOAD THAT WE'RE POSSIBLY SAYING THAT IS FOR GUYS OUTSIDE THE GUIDANCE COUNSELORS EXCUSE HIM SLOWDOWN FOR GUIDANCE COUNSELORS ARE THE SAME THING THAT GOES ABOVE THE SOCIAL. THAT WOULD BE SOCIAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL PIECE OF PARENTING IN THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH OUR KIDS.

HOW ARE WE IN A TOUGH ONE AND HOW WE GET MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK WITH THAT DARK STRATEGY?

>> MISS HENDERSON, IN REGARDS TO SCHOOL COUNSELORS. MR. SMITH THERE ARE STATE AND NATIONAL STANDARDS IN REGARDS TO COUNSELING THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL PLEAS.

SCHOOL COUNSELORS CANNOT DO PRO LONG COUNSELING ANYTHING OVER TWO MONTHS.

SO THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS AND THE SOCIAL WORKERS WORK HAND IN HAND WHEN THERE IS PROLONGED INTERVENTION SCHOOL CAP THAT THE SCHOOL COUNSELORS WORK IN COLLABORATION WITH THE SOCIAL WORKERS. HOWEVER, IF THERE'S A REQUIREMENT FOR LONG TERM COUNSELING AND INTERVENTION THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THOSE OUTSIDE AGENCIES APPROVED OUTSIDE AGENCIES. WE HAVE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT WITH AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT BUT IF I'M CORRECT I'LL SAY THIS IS THEY ARE NOT A PART OF THE DISTRICT BUT SOCIAL WORKERS ARE PART OF THE DISTRICT.

>> I'M SORRY. I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW ARE WE HOW ARE WE USING BOTH OF THOSE POSITIONS TOGETHER TO GET WE'LL GET THE WORK COMPLETED AND GET THERE AND GET US TO SERVE SOME AS I SAY ABOUT A SERVING THE STUDENTS AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT EVEN UNDER THE CLASSROOM THAT WE'RE UNDER. HOW ARE WE SERVING OUR STUDENTS WITH WELL, WITH WHAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A WE HAVE A POLICY IN OUR CRISIS MANUAL FOR REFERRAL OF SERVICES. IF A STUDENT IS IDENTIFIED AND NEED SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL COUNSELING. WE HAVE A SCREENING TOOL THAT IDENTIFY THOSE STUDENTS THAT ARE LOW OR HIGH RISK AND NEED ADDITIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES. THAT'S HOW WE IDENTIFY THOSE STUDENTS IN ADDITION TO THE PANORAMA SURVEY. RIGHT.

BUT TO GET DEEPER NOT JUST IN THEIR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL HOW ABOUT STUDENTS MISSING DAYS

[05:00:04]

I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW DO IT AND WHY AND WHEN DO WE GET IT? WELL, TO WHAT DEGREE DO DO WE GET INVOLVED? IS IT IS THAT CONVERSATION TAKING PLACE SOLDIERS? THAT'S MY QUESTION, ANDERSON, IF I MAY.

MR. SMITH, THIS YEAR WE WERE VERY CLOSELY WITH MRS. SWINTON ON SOCIAL WORK MONITORING STUDENTS ATTENDANCE, MONITORING ANY TRUANCY AND ACTUALLY HAD THIS SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT THE ABSENCES PUSHED DOWN ON A WEEKLY BASIS THE SCHOOLS, THE COMMUNICATION POINT OF OUR STAFF PERSONNEL WORKS UNDER DR. CAMPBELL SHARES ATTENDANCE REPORTS WEEKLY TO THE SCHOOLS AS WELL AS BI MONTHLY ON TRUANCY. AND WE ARE FOLLOWING A VERY CLOSELY THE SOCIAL WORKER IS THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR THAT. SO YES, YOU CAN PUT IN PLACE A CLOSER UNIT OF THE SCHOOLS WORKING WITH OUR SOCIAL WORKERS MAY BE ABLE TO MONITOR OUR ATTENDANCE, BEING ABLE TO FIND OUT IF ANY RESOURCES NEED TO BE UTILIZED OR FINDING OUT ABOUT ANY FORMS OF NEGLECT OR ABUSE HAPPENING ESPECIALLY WITH REGARDS IF KIDS ARE NOT COMING TO SCHOOL ON A REGULAR BASIS. WE DO WHEN THE STUDENTS ALSO COMPENSATORY EDUCATION.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU. BACK TO THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR TO STUDENT RATIO CHART THAT WE HAVE ON PAGE SIX OF THIS REPORT.

I GUESS I'M STATING THE OBVIOUS BUT I THINK THERE IS THERE CLEARLY WERE A LOT OF QUESTIONS ABOUT IT FROM THE BEGINNING OF OUR DISCUSSION. AND THE PROBLEM IS THE CALL ON THE SECOND COLUMN OVER STUDENT COUNCIL RATIO REALLY IS MISLABELED.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE FIRST CALL THAT COLUMN SHOULD BE STUDENT BODY.

NOW THE TOTAL NUMBER COLUMN TO THE RIGHT OF THAT SHOULD BE THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS AND THEN THE NEXT COLUMN OVER SHOULD BE THE STUDENT TO COUNSELOR RATIO. THAT'S FAIRLY OBVIOUS WAY FRACTIONS. AND WE ARE IN THE BUSINESS OF EDUCATING CHILDREN AND SO I THINK THAT'S WHY THIS IS SO CONFUSING BECAUSE GIVEBACKS THE TOTAL STUDENT BODY NUMBER

DIVIDED BY THE STUDENT COUNCIL RATIO IS NOT LABELED CORRECTLY. >> THAT'S MY COMMENT.

MR. DOWLING THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. >> NOT TO BELABOR THE POINT BUT I I JUST WANT TO GET CRYSTAL CLEAR ON ONE THING. NOW THERE IS A FORMULA AN ALLOCATION FORMULA IS THE SAME IN EVERY FOR EVERY SCHOOL. RIGHT.

BUT WE END UP WITH BEAUFORT HIGH SCHOOL HAVING 80 CHILDREN LESS THAN BLUFFTON.

RIGHT. BUT IT HAS FIVE COUNSELORS AND BLUFFTON HAS FOUR.

NOW YOU CAN'T MISS CROSBY SAID THAT BEAUFORT MADE A REQUEST BECAUSE OF THE HEAVY WORKLOAD.

WHY? WHY DO THEY HAVE A HEAVIER WORKLOAD WITH FEWER KIDS? MY QUESTION IS THIS WHO IN DISTRICT SEES THE RED FLAG GO UP THAT SAYS WE HAVE AN IMBALANCE HERE? I'LL TELL YOU MY REAL CONCERN IS IS THAT I DON'T WANT TO SEE EDUCATION BY ZIP CODE . WE HAVE TO BE UNIFORM ACROSS THE BOARD WITH ALL OUR SCHOOLS AND IF A PRINCIPAL HAS A BETTER METHOD OF SELLING GETTING OF AN EXTRA COUNSELOR.

THAT TO ME IS NOT A CRUCIAL ISSUE. IT'S IT'S HARD.

OR EVEN THE BUDGET. IT'S WHAT THE KIDS NEED. IT'S AN 80 STUDENT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEAUFORT HIGH IN BLUFFTON AND YET BEAUFORT HAS FIVE COUNSELORS AND BLUFFTON HAS FOUR SO IT FITS THE SAME FORMULA. HOW DO WE END UP THAT WAY? MS PROBABLY. INITIALLY THE CONVERSATION BEGINS GENERALLY WITH MISS WALTON. ANY HUMAN RESOURCE REQUESTS GENERALLY WORK WITH HER.

I WORK WITH MISS WALTON ON ANY FUNDING OF IDENTIFYING FUNDING ADDITIONAL REQUESTS I MAY HAVE MISSPOKEN. I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT REASON FOR I MADE AN ASSUMPTION HEAVY WORKLOAD BUT I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC REASON OF THE ADDITIONAL STAFF THERE.

BUT ULTIMATELY ANY ADDITIONS ARE EITHER INCLUDED IN THE FULL BUDGET COMMUNICATION BOARD OR APPROVE ULTIMATELY BY THIS WALTON MYSELF AND DR. RODRIGUEZ.

SO THERE ARE ADDITIONAL NEEDS AND CONCERNS AT THAT LOCATION AND ADDITIONAL STAFFING WAS

[05:05:07]

PLACED THERE AFTER A TEAM DECISION. >> IF THERE ROONEY WANTED DISTRICT OF INVOLVED MORE CLOSELY WITH THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESSES LIKE DR. BRADLEY WOULD BE INVOLVED IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS OR DOES IT REMAIN BUDGET SLASH H.R. ISSUE GOING FORWARD? I'LL BE A PART OF THE PROCESS. I THINK DR. STRATOS MENTIONED STARTS FOR US AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SECOND SEMESTER. I WILL JUST SAY AS A SUPPORTIVE ANECDOTE AS A FORMER HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL THERE ARE ANY NUMBER OF SCENARIOS THAT COULD COME UP THAT WERE PRODUCE OR POSITION A SCHOOL TO HAVE MORE COUNSELORS, FOR EXAMPLE THAN ANOTHER SCHOOL. THERE COULD BE AN INSTANCE I REMEMBER SPECIFICALLY WHERE I HAD A POSITION I COULD NOT FIND A QUALIFIED PERSON TO FILL THE POSITION AND FELT LIKE I DID NOT ACTUALLY NEED THAT POSITION THAT I SUPPORT SPECIALISTS TO MOVE MY BUILDING.

AND SO IN A COLLABORATIVE PROCESS WITH A SUPERVISOR AND DISTRICT OFFICE PERSONNEL YOU CAN LOBBY FOR AN ADDITIONAL POSITION THAT YOU FEEL MAY HAVE A MORE POSITIVE IMPACT ON YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY. I THINK WITHOUT KNOWING SPECIFICALLY SOME OF THE REASONS WHY SCHOOLS ARE LOBBYING FOR POSITIONS OR OR OR OR CHOOSING NOT TO ACTUALLY HIRE FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS, I THINK IT IS DIFFICULT FOR US TO ANTICIPATE IN THIS CONVERSATION OR I UNDERSTAND THAT I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE AN ISSUE OUT OF BEAUFORT JR. VERSUS LEFT IT.

>> BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT THE KIDS IN BLUFFTON HAVE MUCH HAVE 80 MORE STUDENTS.

THEY HAVE MORE TROUBLE GET WHICH I WOULD ASSUME THAT THEY HAVE MORE TROUBLE GETTING COUNSELOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE FEWER THEY HAVE MORE STUDENTS AND FEWER COUNSELORS.

SO REGARDLESS OF THEIR CHANCE APPLICATION FOR BEAUFORT, I THINK IT'S A CENTRAL OFFICE ISSUE THAT THERE HAS TO BE BETTER BALANCING THAT IS NOT I'M NOT BEING CRITICAL.

>> I'M JUST TRYING TO GET ME SQUARELY ON OUR RADAR NOW. >> MOST LIKELY INFORM OUR CONVERSATIONS WHEN WE HAVE BUDGET PROJECTIONS NEXT SEMESTER.

>> OK, THANKS A LOT. BACKGROUND CHATTER. I THINK DR. RANDY ALREADY HIT ON MY POINT. STUDENTS HEART ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE UNITS OF MEASURE. AND AND THAT'S WHY A PRINCIPAL CAN SOMETIMES NEED A LOWER RATIO BECAUSE THE NATURE OF THE STUDENT BODY OR THE CULTURE IN THAT SCHOOL THAT'S TRYING TO CHANGE SO THAT THEY'RE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. WE HAVE TO BE KIND OF CAREFUL.

WE LOOK AT RATIOS JUST POINTING THAT OUT. THESE LIKE JUST TO RESPOND BACK TO SORT OF RESPONDING BACK TO WHAT MR. DR. BRAWLEY JUST SAID .

WE CAN CHANGE THOSE POSITIONS BUT AT THE END AT THE END OF THE DAY WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE END SHALL WE SUBSTITUTE AND HOW WE ALLOW PRINCIPALS TO OR STYLE OR EVEN DIS OUR STAFF TO LOBBY FOR POSITIONS BECAUSE WE STILL HAVE A FINITE BUDGET THAT WE HAVE TO GO BY AND AND NOW HAVING A BUDGET. THE PROBLEM IS WE HAVE TO BE MORE YOU JUST HAS TO BE MORE UNIFIED. OUR UNIFORMED BECAUSE JUST BECAUSE IN THE THE PAST PRACTICE AND THIS IS THE LOUDEST MOUTH IN THE ROOM NORMALLY GETS NOBODY GETS WHAT THEY WANT AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT HAS TO STOP.

THIS AND THAT'S WHY I SPECIFICALLY SAID LAST NIGHT IT SEEMED AS THOUGH WE HAVE ALREADY MANY DISTRICTS AND HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS ONE DISTRICT AND SUBDUE A BASE MAY SAY THAT I'M BEING CRITICAL BUT AS A BOARD MEMBER I HAVE TO REALIZE THIS IS THIS. THESE THINGS THAT PARENTS AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAVE BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION IN THAT BOOK TO ME. AND SO AFTER I SAT BACK AND LISTENED. SOMETIMES I DON'T COME OUT I DON'T AGREE WITH THEM AND I DON'T SAY IT BUT YOU KNOW WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE A REAL CONVERSATION LIKE THIS, WE MUST WE MUST STOP CALLING THIS STUFF OUT SO YOU KNOW, YEAH, THEY CAN COME AND LOB AND LOBBY BUT YOU KNOW, AT END OF DAY IS OUR JOB AS DISTRICT LEADERSHIP OR DISTRICT LEADERS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY KID ACROSS THE DISTRICT HAS THE EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES.

THEY ALL THEY ALL HAVE THE THEY HAVE THE TOOLS THEY NEED. HE'S BUILDING AND SOME

[05:10:05]

THANK YOU INDIVIDUALS GET BACK TO THE EPA HERE. >> IT SEEMS THAT IT NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED ESPECIALLY PAGE SIX FOR PAGE NINE. DOCUMENT AND I RECALL WHEN I ATTENDED THAT ACADEMICS COMMITTEE MEETING AND WE DISCUSSED THAT THERE SO I DON'T THINK WE CAN IMPROVE IT TONIGHT BECAUSE IT'S NOT AROUND. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? IT WAS OUR ANTICIPATION THAT THOSE BUT I THINK WE COULD PROBABLY ACCEPT IT WITH THE CHANGES IN THOSE NUMBERS. LET'S FIND OTHER THINGS THAT WOULD DROP OF ACCEPTING YOU KNOW, I JUST ALSO AS I MENTIONED AND I THINK MY FIRST COMMENTS OR WHATEVER IN ADDITION I SHOULD SAY PUBLIC AFTER STATE WIDE UNDER THE SNP BECAUSE THAT'S NOT ALL STATE RIGHT A CASE FOR EXAMPLE ONLY PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THAT'S A FIRST, RIGHT?

>> WELL THAT MEANS THAT WE COULD ABSOLUTELY BRING THIS BACK TO THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY WE'RE MAKING. I JUST I ALSO WANTED TO ADD YOUR MEANING MEETING TOMORROW TO REVIEW SIX, EIGHT HOURS, FIVE OR SIX, EIGHT HOURS AND THEN WE HAVE OUR NORMAL MEETING NEXT WEDNESDAY THE 16TH. SO WE COULD ABSOLUTELY JUST ADD THIS TO THE AGENDA JUST TO MAKE SURE THOSE PETITIONS OR CHANGE THEM BRING THEM UP. THAT PROBABLY WOULD BE BEST TO MAKE SURE IT'S EXACTLY CORRECT. NOT THAT AS I SAID THE CORRECTION ON THE TABLE.

YEAH, YEAH. BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE NEWS IS DIFFERENT.

IT'S CONFUSING BECAUSE I'M NOT ON THE LABEL. I BELIEVE THAT IS INCORRECT.

>> ALL RIGHT. SO MR. DARLING, MR. SMITH, CAN YOU PUT YOUR HANDS BACK DOWN

PLEASE? >> SO IT IS THAT TWO SECONDS WITH YOUR REPORT.

[Committee Reports: Ad Hoc Bluffton Growth Committee]

YES. >> SO NOW WE'RE ON TO THAT AD HOC LOVING GROWTH COMMITTEE.

DR. WISNIEWSKI THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YES, SIR.

THE BLUFFTON AD HOC GROWTH COMMITTEE HER AND WE ACCEPT THAT THE DID YOU HEAR WHAT MRS.

RICH SAID? >> NO, MA'AM. >> I'M MR. OK.

OK. NO, NO. OK.

WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO LOOK THEY'RE GONNA MAKE THE CORRECTIONS AND PRESENT IT TO THE ACADEMIC THIS MONTH AND THEN I'LL JUST COME BACK TO US BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME OBVIOUSLY THAT PAGE SIX NEEDS TO BE WHATEVER PAGE NINE NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED OR APOLOGIZE.

>> I GOT DISTRACTED. I'M SORRY. >> GO AHEAD, DOC WISNIEWSKI.

THANK YOU, MA'AM. YES, WE MET ON NOVEMBER 20TH. WE DISCUSSED THE KEY POINTS DISCUSSED AT THE MEETING WERE THE SURVEY DOCUMENT THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE SHARING WITH THE HILTON HEAD ISLAND AREA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS. THERE WAS DISCUSSIONS AROUND AMENDING SOME OF THE QUESTIONS OR BASICALLY ADDING A DISCLAIMER AT THE TOP THAT SAYS THAT THE OPINIONS THAT ARE GIVEN FROM THOSE REALTORS ARE THEIR INDEPENDENT OPINIONS.

SO THAT WE'LL BE GOING OUT TO THEM. AND WE ALSO RECEIVED AN UPDATE FROM TONYA IN REGARD TO THE IMPACT FEES. I BELIEVE THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS THAT HAD BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE DISTRICT FROM THE TOWN BLUFFTON IN REGARDS THOSE TO IMPACT FEES. YOU CAN SEE THE RESPONSE THAT WAS GIVEN BY THE DISTRICT IN THE COMMITTEE'S DOCUMENTS. AND THE COMMITTEE HAD SOME QUESTIONS THAT CAME FROM THAT RESPONSE MOSTLY CENTERING AROUND THE LIST OF PLANNED PROJECTS THAT WERE A PART OF THE IMPACT FEE. AND SO WE ARE GOING TO BE GETTING THOSE RESPONSES BACK FROM I BELIEVE TONYA AND ROBERT AT OUR NEXT MEETING WHICH IS SCHEDULED FOR THE 17TH OF THIS MONTH. WE ALSO DISCUSSED THE BLUFFING COHORT PLAN AND JUST SOME

[05:15:03]

THANK YOU. >> CAN I PLEASE DR. RODRIGUEZ IS GOING TO COVER THEM FORTY DAY COUNT UNDER HIS RECORD. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

[Committee Reports: Ad Hoc Self Evaluation Committee]

SELF EVALUATION COMMITTEE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING TO BE USED BY THE BOARD TO ASSESS ITS EFFECTIVENESS. WE CONDUCTED FIVE MEETINGS MOST RECENTLY.

>> OUR LAST MEETING WAS ON NOVEMBER 30TH. WE MADE UP ABOUT WE WE FORMULATED A AN EXAM THAT WE SENT OUT TO BOARD MEMBERS TO LOOK AT.

>> SO THAT YOU COULD CORRECT PARASITES OR SUGGEST CHANGES AND WE ANTICIPATE THAT THIS EXAMINATION OR WILL BE ACCEPTED TONIGHT SO THAT WE CAN UTILIZE IT TO MANAGE THEM BY THE END

OF THE WEEK. >> RECOMMENDING A SPECIAL BOARD MEETING TO DO ANALYZING DISCUSS THE RESULTS AND A VERY A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT SENT OUT LAST WEEK.

LAST WEEK WE ASKED YOU TO LOOK AT IT AND COME UP POSSIBLE CONCERNS THERE.

IF THERE IS SOME WE'D LIKE TO HEAR IT NOW. MR. SPEAKER.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. >> WELL, I DID LOOK AT THIS AND I WAS KIND OF IMPRESSED WITH THE COMPREHENSIVENESS. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE SOME ITEMS IN THERE THAT I DON'T THINK ARE BOARD ISSUES LIKE TIMELY GETTING REPORTS IN A TIMELY FASHION.

I THINK THAT'S A DISTRICT ISSUE . BUT THE BIGGER ISSUE TO ME IS ALWAYS KIND HOPING THAT OUR SELF-EVALUATION WOULD BE LINKED TO OUR GOALS.

>> AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A HEAVY WEIGHTING OF WHETHER WE ACCOMPLISHED OUR GOALS BECAUSE THIS SEEMS TO BE FOCUSED ON OUR PERFORMANCE MASON NAMELY IN PUBLIC.

SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE US ADD IN THERE SOME LINK TO OUR GOALS.

DID WE DID WE ACHIEVE OUR GOALS ? DIDN'T WE ACHIEVE OUR GOALS? THAT'S JUST MY MAIN MY MAIN POINT ON THIS YOU SAY. THEY WERE TIED TO GOALS AND POLICIES AS WELL. AND YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T HAVE I BELIEVE YOU CAN'T HAVE TWO TO TWO MASTERS. SO THE POLICY WAS IT WAS THE MASTER.

BUT I BELIEVE WE DID TIE WE DID TIE GOALS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. BUT I BELIEVE I BELIEVE THERE WERE MAYBE MAYBE THE OTHER MEMBERS FROM THE FROM FROM THE COMMITTEE COULD POSSIBLY

COMMENT ON THAT. THANK YOU. >> THANK GOODNESS THAT IS GENERALLY MY OPINION ABOUT IT WHEN YOU SAY GOES WHAT WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE BOARD?

AND A LOT OF IT IS IS DEPENDENT ON HOW THE BOARD OPERATES. >> I.

OUR DISCRETION WAS OUR ASSIGNMENT WAS TO CREATE MEASUREMENT FOR EFFECTIVE FOR EFFECTIVENESS OF THE BOARD. AND I AGREE THAT IT IS YOU KNOW THE RESULTS USUALLY DICTATE WHETHER THE BOARD WAS EFFECTIVE OR NOT. BUT THE INSTRUMENT THAT WE DESIGNED WAS TO CHAIRMAN SOME LOOPHOLES THEN GET INTO THAT RESULTS OF MEASURING OUR PERFORMANCES AS WE GET TO THE RESULTS. AND WHAT I'M SAYING IS IF WE JUST GO FIVE ON ALL ITEMS THAT WE HAVE THERE ONE TO FIVE EVERYBODY GAVE EVERY ONE TO

[05:20:02]

THAT'S WHAT NEW BOARD MEMBERS COME ON BOARD DEFINITELY. >> NOW IF YOU HAVE SOME CONCRETE INFORMATION THAT WE CAN PUT IN THERE QUESTION THAT WE LOOKED AT AT THREE DIFFERENT INSTRUMENTS TO GAGE SOME OF THESE QUESTIONING ABOUT EFFECTIVE BOARDS.

>> MR. DARLING, I SUPPORT WHAT DAVID HAS SAID TO ME THAT THIS IS A SERIES OF DANCE STEPS BUT IT I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT LEADS THE COUNTY DEPENDS ON US TO ACHIEVE RESULTS AND THIS IS A GOOD DESCRIPTION OF THEORETICALLY IF WE DID THESE THINGS WE'D GET RESULTS.

BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN TREAT OURSELVES AS BEING EFFECTIVE OR HIGHLY EFFECTIVE UNLESS THE RESULTS INDICATE THAT NOT THAT WE DON'T DO WHAT WE DID THAT WE WERE ON TIME AND ET CETERA, ET

CETERA. >> SO THE CAMI IT NEEDS WORK ON WHAT ALL THIS ADDED UP TO.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GET WHEN YOU GET A GRADE YOU DON'T GET EVERY TEST TO LISTED THAT YOU TOOK.

YOU GET THE FINAL GRADE. WHAT DID ALL THOSE TESTS RESULT IN IN TERMS OF A GRADE? SO WHAT DID ALL THESE QUESTIONS LEAD UP TO IN TERMS OF THE BOARD BEING EFFECTIVE AND HOW YOU ARTICULATE WHAT EFFECTIVE IS OTHER THAN NUMERICAL NUMERICAL TOTAL BASED ON BEHAVIORS? THAT'S MY DRAWING ON IT TO DO WHAT I SAID, JOHN.

I MEAN YES, THESE ARE BEHAVIORS AND EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS ARE MEASURABLE AND WE GET A TOTAL MEASUREMENT AND A RESULT OF TOTAL MEASUREMENT WILL BE THE RESULT OF HOW WE LOOKED AT EACH ITEM. I DON'T KNOW IF WE IF WE JUST FOCUS ON RESULTS THEN WE REALLY DON'T NEED THIS INSTRUMENT. WE NEED TO JUST LOOK AT WHAT OUR TEST SCORES WERE AND WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT OTHER OTHER RESULTS YOU THE TERM BOARD VIEW AND MY MIND RESULTS IN THAT FORM DOES NOT REFLECT ON BUT OUR 18 FOR EVALUATING OURSELVES .

>> BUT WHAT DAVID SAID IS THAT THE QUESTION IS DID THE BOARD ACHIEVE ITS GOALS? THAT'S HOW IF THE GOALS ARE MADE UP PROPERLY AND THE BOARD ACHIEVES THOSE GOALS, THE BOARD

IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE INVESTMENT. >> SO IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO CLOSE UP, PUT THE GOALS DOWN AND DECIDE WHETHER WE ACHIEVE THEM OR NOT, THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO.

THAT'S WHAT I THINK WOULD BE A MORE EFFECTIVE MEASURE THAN TENDING YOU JUST CULTURES CALL IN SOME OTHER WE. HOW DO WE PROCEED? HOW DO WE EVALUATE IF WE DID ACHIEVE THAT WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH AN INSTRUMENT LIKE THIS AGAIN.

>> WELL THAT'S WHY WE GET TO GET COMMITTEE. >> THAT'S WHAT WE CHARGED WITH.

COME UP WITH THIS INSTRUMENT FROM THE START AND I THINK I KNOW I'VE LOOKED AT IT FROM A

MAYBE I'M LOOKING AT IT FROM THE OTHER ANGLE SO I'M SHOT. >> I I HEARD WHAT MR. STUBBORN JR. SAID AND I THINK THERE'S MERIT TO IT. AND I WOULD ASK IF HE HAS A MOTION IF YOU DON'T. DAVID, I HAVE ONE THAT CAN FACILITATE WHAT YOU WERE

SUGGEST BE ADDED TO THE INSTRUMENT. >> GO AHEAD.

[05:25:05]

OKAY. OKAY. >> BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS WHAT YOU WERE THINKING BECAUSE THIS IS DEFINITELY IN RESPONSE TO YOUR SUGGESTION. OK. I KNOW THAT THE INSTRUMENT INCLUDE WHEN I SPEAK SLOWLY ROB AND LET ME KNOW IF I'M GOING TO FAST AND I MOVE THE INSTRUMENT INCLUDE THE STATED BROAD GOALS AND AND WHETHER THE BOARD HAS MET THEM.

>> USING THE EXISTING SCORING DEVICE SO WHAT WE WOULD BE DOING THERE?

>> WELL, VERY POOR DISCUSSION. UNTIL THERE IS AS A SECOND SECONDED FOR DISCUSSION, OK.

>> I SAID WE WERE KEEPING USING THE SCORING DEVICE THAT'S ALREADY IN PLACE.

>> IT'S A ONE TO FIVE AND WE HAVE EACH OF THE BOARD. THE BOARD'S STATED GOALS LISTED

INDIVIDUALLY AND HAVE WE MET THEM? >> I THINK THAT'S WHAT I HEARD

YOU SAY, DAVID. >> IF THIS WAS NOT A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE COMMITTEE BUT IT CERTAINLY COULD BE ADDED. ANY OTHER BOARD MOTIONS TO MAKE COULD BE ENTERTAINED AND I WOULD ASSUME THAT THE OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS WOULD AGREE.

>> BUT I WON'T SPEAK FOR THEM VARIOUS SEPARATE. I THINK THAT THAT'S AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION. MR. STRANGER AND I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND WE COULD JUST ADD IT TO NUMBER TWENTY FIVE. THE BOARD ESTABLISHED ANNUAL GOALS AND THEY WERE MET OR BREAK IT DOWN THE WAY JOANNE SAID I THINK IT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION TO ADD THAT IN THEIR

REAL BY. >> YEAH I I WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR YOUR WORK.

>> I KNOW WORKING ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS NOT AN EASY TASK. I PARTICULARLY LIKE THE OPEN ENDED PART THAT PART TWO OF THE EVALUATION I'M NOT SO KEEN. I HAVE SOME ISSUES WITH THE 80 TWO QUESTIONS STATEMENTS ON THE OTHER PORTION. MY QUESTION IS WHAT TO LEARN FROM THIS. THERE ARE EIGHTY TWO PRETTY DESPAIR QUESTIONS.

SO TO REALLY LEARN ANYTHING FROM 80 TO SPECIFIC YOU KNOW SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT COMMENTS. I'M NOT SO SURE HOW WE WILL INTERPRET ANY DATA THAT WE WILL GET TO TO LEARN TO MAKE ANY LEARNING I MIGHT MY PREFERENCE IS THAT WE TAKE YOU KNOW THAT WE UTILIZE THE PART 2 OF THE DOCUMENT. I THINK WE WOULD LEARN A LOT MORE FROM PART 2. IT'S MORE SPECIFIC. IT'S MORE I JUST THINK THAT LOOKING AT 82 DIFFERENT QUESTIONS THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

EIGHTY TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. COMPILER ELEVEN PEOPLE'S FEELINGS ON 82 DIFFERENT STATEMENTS. I'M NOT SURE THAT IT'S GOING TO GIVE US THE LEARNING THAT YOU KNOW THE REASON THAT YOU DO A SELF-EVALUATION THAT'S MY MY FEELING ABOUT IT.

>> THAT'S THAT IN MY MIND WHAT I WAS THINKING AND THAT CAME UP DURING THE COMMITTEE MEETINGS WAS WORTHWHILE. THOSE QUESTIONS ON THE DISPARITY AS YOU THINK BECAUSE IF THEY MEET THE CATEGORIES OF BOARD OCCUPATIONS IN THE PROCESS OF POLICY OR MEETING ALL OF IT'S ALL KINDS OF ITEMS ON THE BOARD NATIVE WELL WE CATEGORIZE IT FOR FIVE DIFFERENT TOPICS AND THE REASON I READ SCATTERED ABOUT IT SO YOU COULD NOT ANALYZE IT FROM A CATERPILLAR AND SAY WE'RE NOT DOING THIS PROCESS OR WE COULD WE WILL COMPILE THE RESULTS, LOOK AT THE RESULTS AND THEN LOOK AT THE CATEGORIES WHICH RESULTS TOGETHER AND SAY WE DID WELL IN BOARD MEETINGS OR WE DID ALL THE. AND COMMUNITY RELATIONSHIPS BUT THERE ARE THERE ARE TOPICS AND EACH ONE OF THESE CAME OUT OF IN TERMS OF YOU KNOW,

[05:30:04]

YOUR ANSWERS. >> ALL OVER THE BOARD CONSISTENT WITH THOSE ANSWERS

THAT THAT WAS THEY CAN. >> NOW IT MIGHT BE A BIT COMPREHENSIVELY TWO QUESTIONS BUT A LOT OF THOSE QUESTIONS ARE RELATIVE TO THE SAME THINGS .

>> BUT I THINK SO MANY OF THEM THAT I CAN FIND. ARE YOU GOING TO YOU HAVE 11 DIFFERENT OPINIONS. YOU'RE NOT FACT BASED. A LOT OF THEM ANSWERS WON'T BE FACT BASED. SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, PART OF THE DILEMMA WHERE YOU SAY MY BASE

THAT'S THAT'S WHAT WE TRYING TO GET. >> HOW WE LOOK AT OURSELVES I MEAN IT'S A TOUGH ONE BECAUSE A BOARD WITH GO WELL SOMEBODY WOULD SAY IT'S AWFUL.

BUT IN THE LONG RUN DELIVERED NUMBERS WE OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO FIT SOME KIND PROCESS.

LET'S TO SAY OKAY, THIS IS WHERE WE LANDED. DID IT DID YOU LINE THEM UP

WITH OUR POLICIES? >> THAT WAS ANOTHER. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME.

I SAY I SAY THAT WE DID LINE THEM UP WITH THE POLICIES THAT THEY DID.

THEY ALL ALL ALL EVERY SINGLE ONE THAT WE HAD FAILED FOR TO THANKS MRS. BRIDGES.

SHE MADE SURE THAT THEY WERE POLICY DRIVEN. ANY TIME YOU FORGOT ABOUT IT, SHE REMIND US THAT THEY NEED TO BE POLICY DRIVEN. SO THEY ARE THEY ALL LINED UP WITH THE POLICIES THEY ARE ACTUALLY CURRENTLY COURSE THERE ARE THE PAST POLICIES BECAUSE

WE'RE STILL WAITING ON THE POLICIES. >> I WAS LOOKING I READ IT AND I READ IT TO QUESTIONS AND HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS. BUT THEN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE TWO QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW, VERY FEW OF THEM WERE REDUNDANT AND I SUPPOSE IF THAT WAS YOUR CASE THEN YOU SHOULD ACCESS THE STRIKE NOW WITH SOME OF THEM SOME OTHER POSSIBLE QUESTIONS.

BUT I WANT YOU KNOW, ADDING THE WORD WE MEET THE RESULTS ARE NOT I DON'T THINK IS ENOUGH CHANGE FOR ME TO WHEREVER. THAT'S WHAT WE NEED AND WHETHER THE BOARD MET THE RESULTS ARE NOT YOU CHECK US OFF AND WHAT WERE THE BOARD VOTES, MADAM CHAIR, PUTTING A BROADER YES THERE. I MEAN JEFFREY I'M SORRY BUT OKAY.

>> THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR DEALS VERY SPECIFICALLY WITH THE ADDITION OF THESE POINTS STATED GOAL WHICH WE HAVE NOW CREATED A MOTION YET TO ADOPT THIS INSTRUMENT WHERE ALL OF THESE EXCHANGES WOULD BE VERY APPROPRIATE IN IN THAT CONTEXT.

SO CAN WE. I'M GOING TO ASK PLEASE GET US BACK TO THE MOTION AT HAND.

IT'S BEEN SECONDED. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE IT ON SCREEN.

PART PROBLEM IS EVERYONE'S HANDWRITTEN PRIOR TO THIS. >> THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE HAVE APPLIED. AND SO I DON'T QUESTION RELATED TO THAT.

SO I WANT EVERYBODY PUT THEIR HAND DOWN. AND ANYBODY THAT WANTS TO SPEAK ON THE MOTION. RAISE YOUR HAND AGAIN AND THEN IT WILL MAKE IT MUCH EASIER.

MR. SMITH, MR. SEVEN YEARS. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THIS.

THANK YOU GENTLEMEN FOR THIS. THIS IS CERTAINLY WHAT I'M HEY MIA.

BUT JUST TO CLARIFY, I THINK THAT WE'RE ACHIEVING OUR GOALS HAS TO BE HEAVILY WEIGHTED.

>> BUT I THINK THE QUESTIONS THAT YOU ALL CAME UP WITH ARE GREAT ON LIKE WHAT WOULD BE

CALLED THE SOFT SKILLS KIND CORRECTION. >> ARE WE GIVING A RUNNING GOOD MEETINGS ALL THIS GOOD STUFF. BUT I THINK MUCH LIKE THE SUPERINTENDENTS EVALUATION THE HEAVY WEIGHT HAS TO BE ON WHETHER WE HIT OUR GOALS. SO SO THAT THAT IS MY INTENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE REALLY NEED TO CHANGE THIS BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE HERE WHEN I'M SAYING.

SO IF THIS MOTION PASSES WHEN YOU GO BACK TO DO THE THE GOALS I'D LIKE TO SEE A WAITING WHERE YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROPER PERCENTAGE WOULD BE BUT YOU KNOW, MAYBE 50 PERCENT IS WHAT WE HIT OUR GOALS ALTHOUGH I'D LIKE TO SEE 75. THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.

AND YOU WANT SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE. >> I THINK SO.

I THINK SO. AND TO EXPAND ON IT. YOU KNOW, IF THE SUPERINTENDENT DOESN'T DO WELL ON HIS THING, THERE'S NO WAY THE BOARD CAN DO WELL ON THEIRS.

THOSE TWO PRETTY MUCH HAVE TO TRAVEL TOGETHER. BUT BUT I'D LIKE THAT FORMAT NOW WHERE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR THE BOARD IS TO HIT ITS GOALS, REDUCE THE

[05:35:04]

WHAT IS CORRECT? >> OK. YOU REALLY TELL THAT FROM THE MOTION? I KNOW THAT THAT WAS THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT UP THE OTHER THINGS AND I'M NOT IN MY HAND WAS RAISED PRIOR TO MAKING THE MOTION BECAUSE I I DO HAVE SOME ACTUAL SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT I'D LIKE TO QUESTION. NO TO GO THROUGH BUT I

UNDERSTAND THAT. >> NOW IT'S NOT. YEAH WE COULD.

EXACTLY. SO WE CAN THERE'LL BE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THIS.

BECAUSE I AGREE I HAVE I HAVE QUESTIONS TO MR. SMITH. >> YOU KNOW YOU KNOW, I FIND IT

VERY FUNNY. >> I FIND THIS IS VERY IT'S A VERY GOOD TIME FOR US TO TALK ABOUT GO ABOUT BOARD GOES. BECAUSE THE LAST TIME I REMEMBER HOW I USED TO FIND MYSELF TALKING ABOUT BOARD GOES THIS QUESTION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THE BOND REFERENDUM, SOME OF SOME OF SOME PEOPLE ON THE BOARD SAYING THAT WE HAD AMNESIA AND WE DID THAT WE HAD BOARD GOES AND NOW I'M KIND OF BAFFLED THAT NOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BRINGING THE

INSTRUMENT FORWARD. >> THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT DOES SEEM LIKE WE HAVE SOMEONE BOARD GOES WELL SOMETHING ABOUT A TEAM GUY. WELL I ASK NOT THOUGH THOSE I KNOW BUT WHO CAME WITH THOSE WITH THOSE ON BOARD GOES SO I'M KIND OF I GUESS I'M KIND OF BAFFLED NOW THAT WE'RE SO DRIVEN ON BEING GO ON BOARD GOES WHERE WE'RE NOT EVEN 95 PERCENT IS EVEN 100 OR NONE. SO TO ME IT'S ALMOST LIKE WE'RE JUST SCRAPPING OVER AND INTO PHASE TWO NOT TO NOT DEAL WITH THEM WITH THE REAL ACTUAL ITEM OF OF OF DOING IS OF DOING THIS ACTUAL THIS INSTRUMENT. IF THE BOARD GOES THAT MUCH OVER WITH THE INSTRUMENT WAS CREATED THERE WAS A CERTAIN TEST THAT WAS GIVEN THEN THAT IS THAT'S WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WENT INTO THE THAT THAT THE LEAD TEETH OF OF COMING UP WITH THE AD HOC COMMITTEE THE BOARD GOES HAVE BEEN A PART OF IT. I REMEMBER HEARING THAT WHEN THE WHEN WE WERE GIVEN CERTAIN STRUCTURES TO GO AND TACKLE AND TACKLE THIS TACKLE THIS INSTRUMENT.

SO I'M CALM COME KIND OF I REALLY TAKE HIM BACK THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT BOARD GOES IN AND THERE WERE SEVERAL THAT ONE AND THAT WAS THERE WERE SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS WHO WOULD I WOULD BRING IT UP DURING THE DIFFERENT THINGS ABOUT OUR BOARD GOALS THAT HAVE HAD AMNESIA. LET'S A COUPLE MONTHS AGO ABOUT THAT WE EVEN HAD FOUR GOALS.

SO I'M I'M REALLY NOT FEELING THIS CLOSE CONVERSATION ABOUT ABOUT ABOUT BOARD GOES.

>> I THINK THAT WE DID TACKLE THE BOARD GOES ALONG ALONG WITH TIME TYING THEM TO THE TIME TO TIME THE THE WORK OF THE QUESTIONS TO THE THE TWO OR TWO TO TO TRACK TWO I BOOK OF I BELIEVE I CAN OUR PROCEDURES OF . SO I I'M JUST I'M I'M A LITTLE LOST. I KNOW WE HAVE BOARD GOES THERE TO MAKE A MOTION VERY CLEAR

THAT IT'S NOT THE APPROVING THE ENTIRE INTERNET. >> I THINK IT WOULD HELP IF WE PUT THE WORD DRAFT PRIOR TO THE WORD INSTRUMENT WOULD LET ANYBODY KNOW THAT.

SO AT THIS IT'S RIGHT. >> I HOPE THAT HELPS. >> NO, NO I I HEAR YOU, MR. SMITH. BUT THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS THE COMMITTEE WAS CREATED TO

SERVICE THE BOARD. >> WE'RE HERE TO DO THE BOARD'S WILL.

AND THERE COULD VERY WELL BE A SUBSEQUENT MOTION FOLLOWING THIS ONE THAT COMPLETELY STRIPS THE INSTRUMENT BARE OF ANYTHING BUT THE FIGHT. THE OUR FIVE STATED GOALS AND

[05:40:04]

SO I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE IT'S INPUT FROM A BOARD MEMBER SAYING THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED AND WE NEED TO INCLUDE ALL BOARD MEMBERS INPUT.

THIS EVENING I WOULD ASSUME THERE'LL BE MULTIPLE MOTIONS. >> SO JOY AND YOUR INTENT WAS THAT THIS WAS NOT APPROVED IN THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT SO YOU'RE OK WITH IT?

>> MY SUGGESTION TO ADD THE WORD DRAFT AND THAT'S IN THE OCEAN NOW.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT WITH THAT? ABSOLUTELY. THAT'S FINE BECAUSE THE INSTRUMENT IS AN DRAFT FORM AND HASN'T BEEN ADOPTED YET BY THE BOARD.

OK. OK, SO YOU STILL HAVE HANDS REGARDING THIS MOTION, DAVID

PATCH, RIGHT? >> SURE. I WOULD MOVE TO AMEND THE MOTION TO READ I MOVE THAT THE DRAFT INSTRUMENT BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE THE STATED BOARD CLOSE TO SO TO ADD THE WORD AFTER INSTRUMENT BE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE THE STATED GOALS.

>> I THINK I THINK THAT MAKES IT REALLY CLEAR. >> AND DO YOU HAVE A SECOND? OK. MR. CAMPBELL

MODIFIED EXTENDED. >> ALL RIGHT. NO HANDS UP SO WE CAN VOTE ON THE AMENDED MOTION WHICH IS I KNEW THAT THE DRAFT INSTRUMENT IS MODIFIED TO INCLUDE THE STATED GOALS AND WHETHER THE BOARD HAS MET THEM USING THE EXISTING SCORING DEVICE.

>> YES OR PROBLEM DO WE HAVE ELECTRONIC VOTING? YES, MA'AM.

OKAY. HAS IT COME UP YET OR DID I DID I MISS IT AS IT'S UP?

>> I'M NOT SEEING IT OUT. >> REFRESH. YES.

ON THIS CHART. >> THANK YOU. MOTION CARRIED DATA LIKE YOU

SAID. >> I'M JUST SIT HERE. I'LL BE LISTENING TO SOME OF WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT THE NUMBER QUESTIONS. AND MR. CAMPBELL.

THIS IS DOUG. ACTUALLY I REMEMBER THE WAY WE SAID THAT THE QUESTIONS WERE

WERE NOT WHERE IT WAS THE WORD THAT WAS USED. >> HEY, I I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO MOST OF THE QUESTIONS WERE I DID NOT ANY FRAMING OR THE WORD SORRY I BELIEVE MR. ALLEN SAID THAT THEY WERE DESPAIRING AND SO MR. YOU THANK YOU THAT THEY

ARE ACTUALLY IN THIS FOR RIGHT. >> SO YOU KNOW SOMEONE SAID THEY DID.

I DID. THERE WAS A LOT OF QUESTIONS AND THE QUESTIONS WERE BURIED SPIRIT IN THE YOU KNOW WHAT I SAID AND I SIT BACK AND I WATCH THE WORK THAT WERE NOT JUST THE WORK THAT BECAUSE I'M ON THE COMMITTEE. BUT WHEN YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF TO COME TO COME UP WITH INFORMATION AND TO DO THIS LISTEN, WE CAN HAVE WE ARE ELECTED OFFICIALS. WE CAN HAVE A QUESTION FROM ONE TWO THOUSAND YOU ANSWER THE ONES THAT YOU WANT TO ANSWER THE ONES YOU DON'T WANT TO ANSWER YOU JUST DON'T DO YOU

[05:45:01]

WHO SAID THEY WANT TO ADD MORE QUESTIONS BECAUSE MORE TEETH. >> I REMEMBER SAYING THAT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THE SUPERINTENDENT'S EVALUATION BUT MY MA MA MA MY POINT HERE IS THIS IF YOU THINK THESE QUESTIONS ARE DISPERSION THEN THAT'S YOUR OPINION OF THE

BOARD. >> MAYBE WITHIN THE BOARD IS DISPARAGING.

MAYBE YOU'RE JUST TELLING YOUR TRUE FEELINGS FOR READING BEFORE READING THIS DOCUMENT AND ANSWER THE QUESTION TO YOURSELF IF THAT'S THE OPINION OF THE BOARD AND THAT'S YOUR OPINION, THAT'S OK. BUT TO SAY THAT THESE COULD THESE QUESTIONS HAVE NO MERIT

IS WRONG. >> THESE QUESTIONS NOW DO THEY HAVE MERIT? THESE QUESTIONS ARE. I MEAN I REMEMBER MRS. PRISONERS ACTUALLY MAKES IT MAKING MAKING SURE THAT THE QUESTIONS WERE NOT DISPARATE. SHE THAT WAS A POINT HER AIDE WAS ASKED BROUGHT UP AND ENABLE. THAT WAS MR. CAMPBELL BECAUSE THERE WERE TIMES WHEN WE WON THE ONE WHO WAS TIED AND WE COMPROMISE AND WE CHANGED THE QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY WERE THE SPIRIT. SO YOU KNOW, I'M NOT TAKING IT PERSONALLY BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT WHEN I WAS MOBILE ONLY FROM I MORE LIKE SOMEONE SAID I WANT TO TELL IT THESE QUESTIONS ARE NOT DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY'RE NOT.

>> AND YOU CAME TO THE MEDIA ASKED THAT. BUT I THINK THERE'S ONE TWO LARGER QUESTIONS. JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS, PUT SOME TO EVEN PUT SOME WORK IN THERE. THEY DID HAVE WHERE AFTER THE BOARD WE DON'T WANT TO DO NOTHING. WE JUST WANT THE STAFF OF THE COMPANY FOR SOME BRAND THAT'S ACCEPTABLE FROM OUR STANDPOINT. THIS IS THIS IS REPRESENTS. WE CAN'T PULL OFF STEP ON THIS

. >> I HAVEN'T SPOKEN I THINK CONFUSING TO DISPARATE AND DISPARAGING AND SAYING WELL YEAH RIGHT STUFF HERE IT MEANS DIFFERENT TIME NOT ALLOWING COMPARISON BECAUSE IT'S THERE NOW. CAMPBELL EXPLAINS THAT THEY'RE PURPOSELY KIND OF JUMBLED UP SO YOU CAN'T SORT OF . YES.

RIGHT. DR. SAM. YEAH.

YOU CAN'T JUST VOTE IN BLOCK SORT SPACE OR RANDOMLY BLOCKS. SO I GET THE SAME CONCERN.

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR THEIR WORK. I MEAN OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT AN EASY THING TO DO AS EVIDENCED BY THE DISCUSSION THAT SPARKED BUT I ALSO HAVE A CONCERN WITH THE JUST YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT'S THE PURPOSE OF THIS TO MEET THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS TO IMPROVE THE FUNCTION OF THE BOARD SO WE CAN IMPROVE THE EDUCATION STUPIDS AREA.

SO I AGREE WITH THAT. OK. I LIKE YOUR FIRST SENTENCE.

>> YEAH. THE FUNCTION OF THE BOARD. RIGHT.

SO THESE QUESTIONS THE FUNCTIONALITY QUESTION HANG AND FUNCTION.

RIGHT. SO I THINK FROM A POLICY LEVEL IT'S AN ANNUAL VALUATION.

SO I SAID THIS WOULD BE DONE ANNUALLY. I SEE THIS GOOD DRIFTING A LITTLE BUT I SEE A FACILITATOR BEING HELPFUL. I REALLY THINK IT'S A HARD THING TO DO SINCE EACH OF US, YOU KNOW, INVESTED IN IT SORT OF SPEAKING AND WE MIGHT BE BETTER SERVED BY DOING THE EVALUATION WITH THE USE OF THE FACILITATOR.

AND I KNOW THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION DOES THAT AND ACTUALLY THAT WAS ONE

OF THE SAMPLE INSTRUMENTS THAT I SUBMITTED TO ROBBINS. >> SO A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION IS A TEAM THAT THEIR EXACTLY LIKE OF COURSE BUT DOES THEIR OWN 82 I JUST SEE 82 PUSH SKIMS BURDENSOME TO ME NOW MR. SMITH JUST MADE THE POINT I'LL JUST ANSWER WHATEVER YOU WANT TO ANSWER. AND THEN HOW DO WE. I JUST CAN'T I DON'T PUT MY HEAD AROUND HOW WE'RE GOING TO COMPILE ALL THIS DATA IS THAT TO BE SHOWS YOUR ART?

>> THAT'S HOW IT WHICH IS TO GUESS THAT YOU JUST READ THEM AND THEN SEND IT BACK TO RATHER BY E-MAIL AND IT'S ON A SPREADSHEET ALREADY SO MELLOW EXCEL EXCEL SO WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TABULATE THE FORMULA AND GIVE IT THE SAME KIND OF MERIT TO ME.

>> IT GOT FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT THESE CATEGORY HAVING A NUMBER EACH PARTICULAR BOARD MEMBER HAVING A NUMBER THAT RELATES TO HIS AVERAGE SCORE AND SCORES PARTICULAR ITEMS ET NOW. SO AT THE MOMENT HE'LL BE GRADED THE SAME WAY THE SUPERINTENDENT RAY SULLIVAN WAY BEFORE. SO I GUESS YEAH THAT'S REALLY THE QUESTION EACH PERSON HAS FIVE TO ONE OKATIE. NOBODY KNOWS THAT MORE THAN 20 GROUPS KNOW LIKE OTHER SUPERINTENDENTS. YOU KNOW WE'RE NOT GROUP BE OUR ECONOMY OUR TAXES ARE NOT PAYING THEM RIGHT THE WAY DOWN TO BE OUR JOB AS A BOARD TO

[05:50:04]

I THINK THAT IS ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS WE HAD THAT I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THAT WAY BECAUSE YOU TEND TO GRAVITATE TO YOUR LIKES AND DISLIKES ON THE BOARD RIGHT AWAY.

AND YOU FOCUSED ON THAT AND WE'RE GOING TO HAMMER THIS POINT BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO READ THE DOCUMENTS OR WHATEVER OTHER, YOU KNOW, PET PEEVE YOU MIGHT HAVE. I WANT THAT TO SHOW UP A LONG TERM QUESTIONINGLY.

FIVE QUESTIONS ON THAT. YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY GOOD AND YOU ANSWERING THE SAME WAY EVERY TIME BECAUSE THAT THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S GENERALLY YOU KNOW, THAT'S THE LEVEL OF TESTING. THAT'S THE MORE DIFFICULT LEVEL AS OPPOSED TO HAVING ALL THE FACTIONS TOGETHER AND HAVING FACTS AND SEPARATE AND KIDS THAT COME BACK AND REALIZE THAT'S NOT IT'S NOT ONE POINT ONE. IT'S THIS IT'S NOT LISTED ONE POINT ONE ONE POINT TWO. THAT'S A SIMPLE WAY OF DOING. THANKS.

AS OPPOSED TO ALL BEING GAP THAT SHOWS A COMPREHENSIVE NOW. THAT'S RIGHT.

SO THAT'S THE REASON WE GOT IT ALL. WE COULD CUT IT PROBABLY IN HALF AND LEAVES A LOT OF QUESTIONS OUT. IF YOU THOUGHT THEY WERE RELEVANT WE REALLY LOOKED AT EACH ONE AND SAID THAT THIS IS RELEVANT.

CAN'T RULE IT OUT WITH A LOT OF RIBAUT. >> I GUESS THE OTHER THING.

YOU KNOW IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT HELPED LAST SENTENCE. I MEAN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, TRY ONE YEAR AND IF WE THINK OH YOU KNOW, WE WANT TO MODIFY IT OR CONCERNED IT, YOU'LL BE BETTER IF WE FOCUS ON SOMETHING SO WE CAN MODIFY IT'S NOT LIKE EXCEPT THAT IT'S COMPILING THE RESULTS ,GETTING TO THE MEETING WHERE WE ANALYZE WHAT THE OF US LOOKED LIKE A SIDE WHERE WE GO FROM THERE FORWARD WHAT DO WE NEED TO REALLY FOCUS WHAT WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO GOVERN OURSELVES. WHAT WOULD BE THE NORM? BUT FACT IS IF WE GET SOME COMMON GROUND TO LOOK FOR IMPROVEMENT THEN WE CAN DO THAT.

IT WILL ONE OF THESE EFFECTIVE YOU KNOW AND THAT'S WHAT I GUESS WHAT I ENVISION THIS AMERICA'S GOT TO DO. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONE UP AT MAN IF IT'S NOT IF IT'S DONE AND JUST LOOK AT IT WHETHER BE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE OF OUR RESULTS, OUR RESULTS, OUR RESULTS. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE OR NOT, BUT I COULD GET ANY MORE EFFECTIVENESS. WHAT DID WE DO WRONG TO GET THE RESULTS? I HAD A RULE TO PREVENT THESE THINGS LIKE THAT. THAT'S NOT WHAT I ENVISIONED WAS HAPPENING WITH THIS TOOL. BUT IF THAT IS WHAT IS YOUR VISION AND I AGREE THAT PORN SHOULD MEASURE WHETHER OR NOT THE END RESULTS MAX IF YOU GET TO THE END RESULTS TO BOARD STATED GOALS, THERE IS A PATH THAT COULD EASILY HAVE AND THE ITEMS NETWORK OPTIONAL GRAVY IN THAT WAY. NINE QUESTIONS ON NO TRANSCRIPT 3 3 TIMES 3 I THINK THAT ADDRESSES WHAT YOUR REAL OPINION WAS. TRANSIT WOULD MEAN BETTER.

OTHERWISE YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS ACTUALLY WE LOOK AT THE NUMBERS THAT WE GOT FROM THE RESULTS. I KNOW I WANTED TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT.

I WAS NOT GOING TO BE READY FOR THE ONLY YELLOW LOOKS. >> THERE'S NOT A LOT OF HANDS UP AND I'M GOING TO CALL ON PEOPLE THAT HAVE NOT SPOKEN AT ALL.

MR. GEIER, I'VE GOT A LOT OF WORK DONE ON THIS. AND THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO FIND OUT HOW IT WORKS IS TO DO IT. SO I WILL BE HAPPY.

WE JUST FILLED THE THING AS IS WITH THE BIGGEST MOTION AND SUBMIT IT AND LOOK IT LOOK AT THE PRODUCT WHEN WE GET IT BACK AND IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WE CAN USE OR WE CAN MODIFY IT

[05:55:04]

OLDER GRAND ACCESS. >> IT'S JUST A WASTE OF TIME. LET'S TRY IT.

>> EXACTLY. ALL RIGHT. DARRYL, I WOULD SAY JUST FOR THE SAKE OF BEING WE NEED TO POLICE OURSELVES AT FORT MADE SURE THAT WE DON'T DO A RECKLESS CANNOT BONE FORWARD MAJORITY TO WHAT WOULD INDEPENDENT VOTERS PASS AND

THEN A COUPLE OF WOMAN ONE THING AND THEN FIND YOU. >> I SAY THAT WE NEED THE

BORDER. >> WE NEED ALL OURSELVES. >> WE COULD JUST AGREE BUT WE DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT RUNNING THE BUS BECAUSE WE DISAGREE.

>> UNTIL WE DO THAT WE CHANGE OUR ATTITUDE ABOUT OUR BEHAVIOR THEN NOTHING'S GOING TO CHANGE THAT. NOW YOU HAVE THE SAME SPEED UP YOU SOME OF US ARE NOW AND WE

WILL ALWAYS BE ALWAYS RIGHT AND NEVER WRONG. >> THAT'S CHANGE SWEATSHOP.

>> NOW THE COMMITTEE HAS A RECOMMENDATION. EXCUSE ME FOR THE BOY.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO BRING IT FORWARD IN THE FORM OF A MOTION OR SHALL BILL PURPOSE OF THAT

YOU DO YOU WELCOME IT. OK, HERE I GO. >> MY BOY THE LEFT AND IT'S

ONLY A GENDER SIZED HOST. >> WE HAVE TO TACKLE IT. I MOVE THAT A BOARD ACCEPT AND APPROVE THE WORD SELF EVALUATION INSTRUMENT AND I JUST ASK YOU SECOND THING AS

THE MAKER OF THE MOTION MAY I COMMENT? >> YES, THANK YOU.

THE COMMITTEE TALKED AT LENGTH ABOUT WHAT GEIER SAID. YOU KNOW, USE IT, TRY IT OUT WHEN YOU USE AN INSTRUMENT YOU VERY QUICKLY FIND ITS FLAWS IN ITS STRENGTHS AND THE BOARD CAN EDIT IT FROM THERE. AT THIS LATE HOUR I DON'T SEE HOW YOU PUT A BOARD SELF-EVALUATION INSTRUMENT IN FRONT OF A BOARD COMPRISED NEW MEMBERS AS WELL.

WE EITHER COMPLETE THIS BY THE END OF THIS CALENDAR YEAR AS THE EXISTING BOARD BECAUSE IT DOES HAVE A DATE ON IT. IT HAS A TIME PERIOD ATTACHED TO THE INSTRUMENT.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE NOTICED THAT. BUT WE WE WE WE ARE IN A TIME

CRUNCH RIGHT NOW TO GET THIS DONE IF WE DON'T GET IT DONE. >> BUT I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER YEAR OUT WHICH WOULD PROVIDE A NEW AD COMMITTEE PLENTY OF TIME TO REVISE IT AND TURN IT INTO SOMETHING THAT REFLECTS THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF WHAT THE BOARD REALLY, REALLY SEES. BUT THIS IS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT COMMITTEE HAD FOR THE BOARD THIS EVENING AND THE BOARD CAN EITHER VOTE IT UP OR DOWN OR CAN PUT A SERIES OF MOTIONS ON THE TABLE TO REVISE THE INSTRUMENT AS IT STANDS.

LOOK, THERE IS A LOT OF AGENDA LEFT. ROBIN IS NO MOTION SHOULD BE

EXCEPT A C C EXACTLY. >> ISRAEL BY YEAH. MR. CAMPBELL DO YOU.

I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE QUESTIONS BEING SCATTERED IN GROUPINGS.

DO YOU HAVE THE GROUPINGS THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH US THE CATEGORIES OF BOARDMAN SHIP

THAT THAT THESE ARE COMING TO AN LET'S MOVE ON. >> BUT I CAN RECALL SEXUAL BEING ONE, ANALYTICAL BEING ANOTHER. OK, I DON'T REMEMBER ALL OF THE

[06:00:02]

TOPICS. YES. >> SO IF THIS MOTION PASSES AND WE COMPLETE THESE. DO YOU THINK WE'D BE LOOKING AT THE DATA IN THOSE CATEGORIES? WOULD WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THEM, TAKE QUESTIONS AND GROUP THEM LIKE THAT?

>> YES. >> WE CAN GO BACK AND FIX THEM TO SEEK YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR

RESULTS WERE IN EACH PARTICULAR CATEGORY. >> OK.

I THINK AGAIN MY QUESTION WAS, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO GET DATA THAT WE CAN USE.

I DO HAVE ONE ONE THAT I AM NOT GOING TO QUIBBLE OVER. BUT LIKE IF QUESTION NUMBER 45 THE BOARD WAS PROVIDED THE AGENDA BACKGROUND MATERIALS WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING TO ME INSTEAD OF SAYING WELL IN ADVANCE THE MEETING THAT SHOULD SAY IN ACCORDANCE WITH POLICY BECAUSE WE ALL MAY DEFINE WELL IN ADVANCE TO THE MEETING DIFFERENT BUT OUR POLICY STATES THAT IT NEEDS TO BE THURSDAY NIGHT. SO THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT I YOU KNOW, TO ME IT'S IT'S BUT IT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFORT TO UNDERSTAND I'M NOT

THAT IS JUST LIKE MY FOURTH WOULD BE AS A TEACHER TODAY. >> YOU GRADE ACCORDING TO HOW YOU READ IT AND YOUR RESPONSE. ONLY WOULD DO IT ACCORDING TO POLICY IF YOU PUT NO ONE THINKS

WITH SOMEBODY THAT. >> WELL I SEE I I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH ALSO.

>> OKAY. >> THAT'S JUST IT. >> I WOULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION. USE THAT INSTRUMENT AGAIN. I'M JUST BEING I'M BEING THEN.

THANK YOU. >> AND JUST LASTLY AS A MEMBER OF THIS COMMITTEE, I DO WANT TO THANK MEL FOR HIS LEADERSHIP. BUT A VERY WISE PRINCIPAL ONCE TOLD ME THAT FEEDBACK IS A GIFT AND AND ALL OF YOUR FEEDBACK I THINK WILL MAKE THIS INSTRUMENT BETTER.

BECAUSE THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN OUR MINDS THAT THIS WAS A A FIRST RUN.

WE WE HAVE A POLICY THAT SAYS AN ANNUAL EVALUATION IN IT. AND ACCORDING TO WHAT WE HAVE DISCOVERED, IT'S NEVER BEEN DONE. I MEAN THAT'S THAT'S HARD TO

BELIEVE. >> SO THIS IS THE FIRST RUN OUT AND WE HAVE NO DOUBT THAT IT

WILL CHANGE. >> IT PROBABLY SHOULDN'T CHANGE BUT AT LEAST WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET TWO OF OUR MEMBERS TO BET ON THIS FOR HER WHILE THAT VALUABLE INFORMATION TO SHARE AND FEEDBACK TO SHARE PORTRAYED THAT INTO THE WHOLE INSTRUMENT EVALUATION.

AND THEN NEXT YEAR WE'LL LOOK AT IT AGAIN AND THAT'S BEST. THAT WAS KIND OF OUR THOUGHT PROCESS. THAT WAS MY DRIVING FORCE. THEY'RE GOING TO GET IT DONE.

JOHN JULIANNE, DO IT. DO YOU WANT TO DAY INPUT SO THE CONFLICT OVER ALL TRUE FEELINGS OF WHERE WE ARE? IT IS EVALUATION IN MY MIND THAT MEANS LOOKING AN INTROSPECTIVE STANDPOINT. SO A LITTLE QUESTION ZERO. ARE WE LOOKING AT IT? YOU KNOW YOU SEE IT WELL, I JUST WANT TO GET IT CLEAR FOR CLARIFICATION PROMISES OR SHACK

WITH WHAT DO WITH THE CURRENT MOTION THAT WE HAVE. >> I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A THERE WAS A MOTION BEFORE THIS TO ADD TO THE GOALS. A LOT OF THE OTHER GOALS PART OF THE INSTRUMENT DRAFT. I WONDER WHEN WOULD THAT BE A PART OF IT OR WOULD THAT NEED TO BE INCLUDING YOUR MOTION OR WAS THAT WHAT WE CONSIDER THAT ALL RIGHT TO BE DONE?

>> BEN, CAN YOU HEAR ME OKAY? >> YEAH, I CAN. YES, MA'AM.

SO THE ENTIRE RADIO INCLUDED A MAYOR BECAUSE THE BOARD APPROVED THAT BEING CREATED .

>> SO WHEN WE WHEN WE APPROVED THE INSTRUMENT IT INCLUDED WHAT WE JUST ADDED TO IT IN THE

PRIOR MOTION. >> OKAY. I I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE WAS ON BOARD THAT WE WERE ALL ON THE SAME PAGE. SO THAT SO THAT THAT THAT COULD NOT BE HINDERING ANYONE FROM NOT VOTING AND IN SUPPORT OF IT.

IF IF WE REALLY WANTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND GET THIS DONE BEFORE I TO TWO BOARD MEMBERS ARE. AND THIS WAS IMPORTANT TO THE BOARD.

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFICATION. VOTING IS OPEN. YES.

ROBIN YES. LIKE. YES.

[06:05:16]

>> DID YOU ACCEPT THE INSTRUCTIONS? BUT I WILL SEND IT AGAIN WITH THE CHANGES ON IT. AND THEN ASK FOR WE'LL CONTACT THE BOARD FOR A DATE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT AROUND 15 FOR A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING. YEAH.

>> AND THOSE RESULTS MAY BE ASKING PEOPLE TO DO THIS INDIVIDUALLY AT HOME OVER A THREE DAY PERIOD. RIGHT. SO AT THE CENTER OF THE RESULTS THAT I DON'T KNOW THE TECHNOLOGICAL METHOD, THE ONE SAID THAT ATTACHMENT TO THE

WOULD GO UP AND THE OTHER WAS BY ANY LITTLE ATTACHED. >> BUT I GUESS WHAT I WAS TRYING TO BRING TO THE SURFACE IS THAT YOUR COMMITTEE ASKED THE AD WHAT WE APPROVED AND OH YES WE WILL HAVE TO DO THAT. SO ANSWER AS WILL ACTRESSES JOE PITTS, OUR JACK O.

>> I KNOW THAT THE BOARD RESULTS TO ITS ANNUAL SELF EVALUATION BE POSTED TO OUR

BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT WEBSITE. >> SECONDLY, INCLUDING IN INDIVIDUAL RESULTS BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S RELEVANCE IN EACH OF OUR CONSTITUENCIES, EACH OF OUR POCKETS THAT WE REPRESENT AND IN SEEING HOW WE WEIGHED IN.

>> AND WE WILL HAVE TO EVALUATE IN PUBLIC. >> SO IT WON'T BE ANYTHING IT

WON'T BE ANY SURPRISES. GOT TO BE PUBLIC STATED. >> I KNOW THE BOARD RESULTS TO THE ANNUAL SELF EVALUATION BE POSTED TO THE DISTRICT WEB SITE INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL RESULTS.

>> THANKS, ROBIN. RESTRICTED. I WAS ALL ABOUT SUPPORTING THIS MOTION SO WE GOT TO THAT SECOND PART OF THE SENTENCE AND I DO THINK THE BOARD RESOLVED SHOULD

WE HAVE A STUDENT MADE PUBLIC? >> BUT I DON'T SEE A BENEFIT OF THE INDIVIDUAL ONES.

I'D LIKE TO SEE US SPEAK AS ONE BOARD. SO THESE ARE THE BOARD'S RESULTS. SO I BECAUSE THAT SECOND HALF OF THE MOTION I WILL NOT BE

SUPPORTING THOSE IS. >> THOSE WERE MY COMMENTS. EXACTLY.

>> I WON'T SUPPORT IT EVEN FOR THAT SAME REASON WE'RE NOT. WE ONLY SPEAK AS A UNIT AS OUR

TRACK. >> I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. BUT WHAT YOU KNOW WE CAN'T DISCUSS OURSELVES ON AND AND THE BOARD IN PRIVATE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT DISCUSSION IN OPEN SESSION. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE A CLOSED DOOR SESSION.

AND EACH OF US WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO SPEAK FREELY. SO I DON'T SEE I DON'T UNDERSTAND. YOU KNOW WHY? SINCE IT'S GOING TO PLAY OUT PUBLICLY ANYWAY WHERE THE HESITANCE WOULD BE AND YOU KNOW MY MIND SAYING LOOK I IN THE COMMENTS SECTION LIKE I WOULD LIKE MY COMMENTS TO BE ABLE TO BE VIEWED.

>> THERE'S NOTHING SECRETIVE ABOUT THEM. AND THE WHOLE EVALUATION IS

FOCUSED ON THE BOARD'S PERFORMANCE AS A WHOLE. >> BUT I WOULD LIKE MY

REFLECTIONS ON THAT TO BE ACCESSIBLE BY PUBLIC. >> FIRST OFF, LET ME START BY SAYING IT. I DON'T SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH WHAT MRS. ORSZAG IS PROPOSING

[06:10:03]

YOU KNOW, WE JUST WE THOUGHT WE WILL DISCUSS ME PUBLICLY SEVERAL TIMES.

SO I MEAN WHAT WE DO IS IS PUBLIC IS HANDLING A STUDENT'S WISHES.

I MEAN ARE PUBLIC. YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY FOR YOUR TEACHERS EVALUATION.

SO I MEAN WHAT'S DIFFERENT WITH WHAT WE'RE DOING? WHAT WHY? WHY NOT HAVE IT PUBLIC? WHY NOT? I MEAN I.

I SEE THAT SOMEONE ELSE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ANYTHING TO HIDE. I MEAN THIS IS JUST A PUBLIC DOCUMENT JUST STATING WHAT YOU FEEL AND HOW YOU FEEL. BASED ON A NUMBER SYSTEM.

>> SO I DECLINE TO CHOOSE TO SUPPORT IT. JUST RESPOND.

IF IT'S NOT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIDING ANYTHING I JUST THINK YOU'RE GOING TO POST SOMETHING ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE BEFORE IT EVALUATES WE'D COME UP WITH A SINGLE UNIT I I'M NOT TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING I DON'T YOU KNOW SO DON'T DON'T INFER THAT FROM MY

CHOICE TO NOT FOR THIS MOTION. >> I'M JUST LIKE YES I THINK THAT'S NOT.

BESIDES THE DISCUSSION WILL HAVE TAKEN PLACE PROBABLY WOULD BE NO BIG DEAL.

BUT WHAT INDIVIDUALS DID WOULD BE KNOWN PUBLICLY. NICOLE ALWAYS THE BEATING.

INDEED. YEAH. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW.

THERE'S A NEED FOR THAT ON OUR WEBSITE. THERE'S A NEED FOR IT.

>> IT'S OUR TIME. >> HERE WE NEED IT. I KNEW YOUR UK APOLOGIES.

WELL, I WILL NOW I WILL DEFINITELY ACCEPT THE BOARD'S WILL ON THAT.

IT'S THE POINT. WELL, I'M JUST EXPRESSING MY VIEWPOINT AND YOU'RE RIGHT.

WHEN WE HAVE OUR PUBLIC MEETING TO PRESENT THE RESULTS OF THE SELF-EVALUATION WE CAN CERTAINLY PRESENT OUR THOUGHTS THEN AND IT WILL BE ON VIDEO. SO SO MAYBE TRICIA IS CORRECT.

MAYBE THIS IS REDUNDANT SINCE WE'RE ALREADY GOING TO BE SHARING OUR THOUGHTS AND I JEWISH I DIDN'T MEAN ANY OFFENSE ABOUT HIDING ANYTHING PERHAPS THAT WAS A POOR CHOICE OF WORDS. I JUST YOU KNOW, MAY I? I BELIEVE IN THE GREATEST EXTENT TO TRANSPIRED, NANCY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S ELECTED OFFICIALS DISCUSSING THE BODY OR EVEN THEMSELVES. SO. YEAH, I MEAN I'M FINE WITH THAT WITH THAT M.. DO YOU HAVE A MOTION FOLLOWING THIS IN REGARD TO WHEN THE MEETING WILL BE? WELL, WE HAVE ACTUALLY EXHAUSTED.

>> EXCUSE ME GO A MAJOR A MAJOR MOTION. >> I WANT MAJOR MOTION.

>> IT'S TAKE OUT THE PASSWORDS AND I WANT TO PUT INDIVIDUAL INDIVIDUAL WORDS TO INCLUDE

INDIVIDUALS WHO WANT IT TO BE SEEN. >> SO THAT WAY IF PEOPLE DON'T WANT WHAT THEY WANT. THERE THERE'S TO BE SEEN THAT WAY THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE SEEN

. >> YEAH THAT'S ACCEPTABLE. SURE.

THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD COMPROMISE. SO I WOULD.

SO WOULD YOU. WOULD YOU SECOND OR WOULD YOU SECOND AMENDMENT SECOND AND TO

THE POINT OF ME DOING THINGS THAT WAY. >> BY WAY ANYONE WHO DOES AND WHO DOES NOT WANT TO BE SEEN THEN THERE'S JUST WON'T BE PUT UP.

ANYONE WHO WANTS TO HAS TO BE SEEN IN THE DEBATE AND THEN THERE THERE'S WILL BE THERE'S THIS WILL BE PUT UP. AND SO THIS IDEA THAT WAY EVERYONE GETS WHAT THEY WANT THEN THAT'S RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE . YOU NOT IT'S NOT FAIR.

I DON'T KNOW. >> I'M JUST GIVING THE SHARE. I AGREE WITH WITH HIS FRIEND

RICH THAT THE BOARD OPERATES THE BOARD. >> SO WE SHOULD POST THE RESULTS AS A BOARD. I'M NOT REALLY SURE IF IF WE POST INDIVIDUAL RESULTS IF THAT DOESN'T VIOLATE A BOARD POLICY ABOUT FUNCTIONING AS A BOARD LIKE THIS AND I KNOW THIS GETS TO A FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE THAT WE HAVE ON THE BOARD ABOUT WHETHER WE FUNCTION AS A BOARD OR WHETHER WE FUNCTION AS INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS. BUT I CAN'T SUPPORT IT IF WE

[06:15:01]

>> INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS HAVE NO VALIDITY OTHER THAN BEING PART OF THE BOARD.

SO I FACE DOWN TO THAT. >> I'M TALKING YOU YOU ARE TALKING AND I'M TIRED OF YOU

BUTTON IN. >> LET ME FINISH WILL YOU? I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO HEAR THE TERMS OF SAY A RAMBLING ON WITH YOU MANY TIMES ON OVER AND OVER.

NO. ORDER. JUST SHUT UP FOR A MINUTE AND

LET ME FINISH. >> MAYBE TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE. JUST GET THE THING YOU HAVE THE FLOOR PLEASE. GO AHEAD. I THINK I'VE PRETTY MUCH DONE I'LL SUPPORT IT IF WE TAKE OUT INDIVIDUAL RESULTS BECAUSE I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO PUT OUT THERE BUT I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE A BOARD THING NOT NOT AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBERS THING

IN MY HEAD. >> A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. YOU MAY NOT.

>> YOU'RE NOT. IF YOU'RE NOT RECOGNIZED YET, THE NEXT PERSON IS KATHY ROWE,

BY THE WAY. >> OKAY. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY I DON'T THINK INDIVIDUALS SHOULD EVEN HAVE THE CHOICE TO PUT THEIRS UP BECAUSE I THINK THAT NEGATES THE DECISION OF THE WHOLE BOARD. I THINK THAT YOU KNOW THAT THE INDIVIDUALS YOU CAN FIND OTHER WAYS TO SHARE YOUR INFORMATION IF YOU WANT I GUESS.

BUT IT IS THE BOARD YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S A BOARD OR ONLY OUR ACTIONS AND AS A BOARD MEAN ANYTHING HAVE MEANING. SO WE NEED TO PRESENT THE RESULTS AS A BOARD NOT INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS WHO IS NOT YOU KNOW, NOT BEING AFRAID TO PUT OUR OWN SCORE.

I JUST THINK THAT THE MESSAGE TO BE IT'S THIS IS FROM THE BOARD, MADAM CHAIR.

POINT OF ORDER. THE MOTION SAYS FOR MORE RESULTS.

THIS IS A TWO PRONGED MOTION THAT INCLUDES THE BOARD RESULTS .

>> OK. AT THE END OF PAGE COMPONENTS FOR THOSE WHO WISH IT IS OUR

POINT OF WATER IS FOR THE PROCESS. >> I DON'T SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PROCESS. WE'RE GOING TO VOTE ON THE MOTION.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND US. >> THANK YOU. YES, THIS IS.

NO ONE IS SPEAKING TO THE CORRECT MOTION. THAT'S ON THE FLOOR.

IT SAYS MORE RESULTS. THAT'S THE POINT OF ORDER. WELL, WE'RE GOING TO VOTE SO

WE'LL WE'LL SEE WHAT THE BOARD WANTS. >> MR. DOWLING GESTURES SAID

POINT OF INFORMATION. >> EVERYBODY'S INDIVIDUAL RATINGS ARE FOR YOUR BILL.

SO YOU KNOW, JUST PROLONGING THE INEVITABLE SOMEBODY IS GONNA WANT TO SEE THEM PUT THEM

UP. >> THAT'S MY OPINION. ARE YOU READY TO GO?

NO. MY HAND IS UP. >> AND JUST TO TO TO GO BACK TO WHAT MR. SCRIBBLER JUST SAID FIRST OFF, I I DON'T REMEMBER US TALKING ABOUT ABOUT HAVING I MEAN I'M NOT I MEAN WHAT JUST DO WE BELIEVE THEM RESPONSIBLE SAID FIRST OFF THERE'S A LOT OF INDIVIDUAL GOING ON. THERE'S NOT A THERE'S THERE'S NOT A LOT OF OVERTHROWING DECISIONS. SO WE WISH WE QUIT FRAMING THAT WE ARE BORED AND WE'RE NOT WE ALL WANT TO COURT AND THAT'S NOT TRUE. LET'S FACE THE REALITY.

SOME PEOPLE ARE BORED HUDDLE. SOME PEOPLE ARE BORED ALLOWED TO DO CERTAIN THINGS.

SOMETHING ART JUST IS JUST LIKE OF SCRIPTURE IS THE CHAIR OF SEVERAL BOARDS ON THIS BOARD. SO LET'S NOT JUST SAY THAT WE HAVE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE SPECIAL AUTHORITY ON THIS BOARD. SO TO ME THAT'S NOT ACCURATE.

THAT'S HOW I SEE THINGS SO I CAN SAY WHAT I WANT TO SAY BUT THEY SAY IS THEY GIVE EVERYONE

DECIDED THEY WANTED TO PUT IT ON IT THEN PUT IT ON THERE. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING.

SO WHEN IT COMES TO SAYING THAT WE'RE A TEAM, NOT A WASTE OF TIME, WHAT IS MORE ATTACKS ON MY CHARACTER AND THEY ALLOW CERTAIN PEOPLE TO TAP MY CHARACTER.

>> OH, I ONLY ONLY ALL ON DOWN ON THE MEET DURING MEALS AND NOT DURING MEETINGS.

WOW. >> MR. SMITH, YOU GET A STATEMENT OF MOTION ON THE TABLE. WELL, I'M NOT A LAWYER BUT I'M DONE SPEAKS VOLUMES.

>> NO, NO, NO. YES. PROBLEM OR IN SHOCK?

>> YES. E IF THE MOTION FAILS 3 8 FEEL THE NOTES PREVAIL.

[06:20:07]

>> NO, IT'S CHRISTINA IS DAVID STERMAN DETECTIVE ROW BY MELVIN CAMPBELL FISHER FAVORITE RACHEL

IS ASKING RICHARD GEIER TO GO BACK TO THE NEXT SHOE. >> OK THAT THE AMENDED MOTION TONIGHT GOING TO GO BACK TO THE OTHER END. I'LL SHOOT BACK JOANNA WILLIAMS IS WELL THAT SO NOW THE ORIGINAL MOTION QUESTION WAS JUST STILL WAS THAT THE OPTIONAL PART ABOUT PUTTING THE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS ON THIS SAYS ALL THE INDIVIDUAL RESULTS

RIBAUT. >> ALL RIGHT, MR. DOWLING, YOU DID NOT PUT DOWN YOUR HANDS OR

COULD YOU PLEASE PUT IT DOWN? >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

VOTING IS OPEN. NO. WHAT DOWLING ISH.

OH, I CHECKED. YES, EARL CAMPBELL NO INFLUENCED THE MOTION FAILS A 3

8 THE NOES PREVAIL. >> EARL CAMPBELL PRISTINE OF WHAT'S BEEN DISTRIBUTED.

KATHY RIBAUT MELVIN CAMPBELL FIGURED RACHEL WISNIEWSKI AND RICHARD GARDNER THAT I'M WHERE I MOVE THAT THE BOARD RESULTS TO THE ANNUAL SELF-EVALUATION BE POSTED TO THE DISTRICT WEB

SITE AND ONLY ANY DESCRIPTION GRADED PROPERLY. >> NOW I'M JUST GOING TO SAY SOMETHING TYPE OF QUESTIONS TO SORRY. OK, YOU KNOW I KNOW WHAT'S PUBLIC AND WHAT NOT BUT HOW ABOUT AND WHY YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO WORK.

THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I WANT MY HESITATIONS ABOUT THIS. WELL, YES, IT IS PUBLIC AND THERE IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH. BUT THERE IS FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS NOT UNLIMITED.

THERE'S GONNA BE A YOU KNOW, IF IT'S IF THERE'S DEFAMATION THAT'S GOING TO END VERBALLY.

THAT'S SLANDER OR WRITTEN THAT'S GOING TO BE LIBEL. I MEAN YOU'RE DEFINITELY SOME CONSEQUENCE IS SUPPOSED TO GET ALL OVER THE PLACE. AND I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT BECAUSE THAT THING MAY OCCUR WITH THIS ITS ROLE BY MY QUESTION WAS HOW ARE THE RESULTS GOING TO BE COMPILED? YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THAT THE RESULTS WILL BE POSTED, ARE WE MEANING THERE'S GONNA BE AN AVERAGE SCORE FOR ALL EIGHTY TWO OF THOSE QUESTIONS FOR EACH OF THE QUESTIONS OR ARE WE GOING TO PUT THEM IN THEIR CATEGORIES LIKE MR. COME UP WITH A CATEGORY SCORE TO POST THEM? IT'S JUST A PROCESS QUESTION. EXACTLY. WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE I GUESS?

BUT TO BE IN INSIDE WOULD YOU SAY MEL SORRY. >> BECAUSE SPECIAL MEANING WHAT WE GOING TO POST THE FINAL OUTCOME AFTER WE'VE WHAT WE WERE SAYING WE DIDN'T DECIDE WAS POSTED OR YOU COULD DO ALL THE ANSWERS ALL THE QUESTIONS LIKE YOU SAY.

>> BUT THE AVERAGE SCORE OF CATEGORIES ONE TIME HAD A NARRATIVE LIKE YOU KNOW, I

[06:25:07]

DON'T KNOW. >> I'M JUST I'M JUST TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND WHAT EXACTLY THE REPORT WOULD LOOK LIKE BECAUSE EACH OF THOSE EIGHTY TWO THINGS ARE DATA

POINTS I GUESS IS WHAT WE'RE SAYING. >> YEAH I DID.

THAT IMPLIES TO BE CATEGORIZED AND THEN YOU COULD GET AN AVERAGE FROM THAT RIGHT.

OR YOU COULD GET AN AVERAGE FROM KIND OF BEING INTO THE INSTRUMENT THERE TO ANALYZE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE NEED TO DECIDE. I THINK AFTER WE'VE DONE THAT.

EXACTLY. YEAH SO MAYBE THIS IS PREMATURE UNTIL AFTER.

>> I DON'T KNOW. >> I REALLY HOPE WHATEVER RESOLVES WE HAVE WE SHOULD DO THE SAME THING WE DID WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT, YOU KNOW PUBLICLY REPORTED.

YEAH. BEING IN SOME TYPE NARRATIVE FORM OR SOMETHING.

OK, MR. DARLING I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADDRESS MY COLLEGE. >> MADAM CHAIR, WHAT YOU SAID BEFORE WAS PURE NAKED INTIMIDATION TO THE LANGUAGE THAT PEOPLE USE IN THEIR RATINGS AS POLITICAL SPEECH IS PROTECTED SO DON'T IN TRY TO INTIMIDATE PEOPLE ESPECIALLY THE NEW ONES COMING ON THAT THERE ARE LIMITS THAT YOU DETERMINE WHAT THEY ARE IS RATHER IS FREE SPEECH GOES NO ONE'S GOING TO GET IN TROUBLE FOR DEFAMATION IN POLITICAL SPEECH IN IT IN A RATING IN A SURVEY SUCH AS THIS. THAT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE.

AND I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU GET A LEGAL OPINION FROM THAT FROM THE LAWYER WHO ACTUALLY PRACTICES LAW NOT RUNS AND THE LOBBYING GROUP I ALWAYS WANTED I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS. I'M NOT TRYING TO INTIMIDATE MY CHAIR OUT OF OR OUT OF OR SMITH

ALLOW OTHER PEOPLE TO SPEAK. >> I'M JUST I'M IF I SAID THAT YOU WOULD TELL ME FINE.

>> BUT THIS IS WHY THE BROADER POINT OF ORDER, MADAM CHAIR, YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER.

I'M JUST UNDERSTAND YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE ELSE TO RESPOND.

SO YOU HAVE THE CHAIRMAN. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESPOND?

YES, I DO. >> YES, EXACTLY. YOU WERE GIVEN AND WHEN PEOPLE WERE YOU KNOW, PEOPLE ATTACKING ME, I RESPOND YOU TELL ME I DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESPOND. MADAM CHAIR, THINGS JUST DON'T GO YOUR WAY.

ALL THE TIME. I APOLOGIZE TO PEOPLE ALL YOU WANT TO BE TREATED, MADAM

CHAIR? >> NO, MR. DOWLING, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FLOOR AND YOU MAY NOT

SPEAK. >> MR. CENSURE MOTION WHETHER IT'S TO POSTPONE IT OR TABLE IT. I MEAN I BUT I AGREE WITH MR. IRVINE THAT WE SHOULD PUT THIS OFF UNTIL WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS BECAUSE I DO HAVE I DO BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE POSTED BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW WE'RE GOING TO COMPILE INTO ONE DOCUMENT ALL THE NARRATIVE NINE NINETY NINE DIFFERENT RESPONSES OF NARRATIVE. I CAN SEE THE QUANTITATIVE PART EASILY. BUT I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE NINETY NINE RESPONSES FROM THE QUALITY PART. SO I I SAY EVERY POST COLUMNIST WE BEGIN I MAY HAVE TO POSTPONE THIS MOTION. THIS MOTION IS A SECOND BY SECOND.

MR. GEIER ACTUALLY ALREADY DID HAVE ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS OF WHAT EVERYBODY PUT YOUR HAND DOWN AND NOW WE'RE DISCUSSING THE AMENDED THE MOST COMMON LET'S DISTRIBUTOR POSTPONE

UNTIL WE DON'T WANT TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY. >> WE WANT TO POSTPONE IT UNTIL SOMETHING RIGHT CAN BE DONE EITHER WAY SO WE CAN POSTPONE UNTIL WE'VE COMPLETED THE

EVALUATION AND THEN ULTIMATELY TO RESULT. >> YEAH.

IF WE COULD PUT THAT IN THERE I FIGURE WOULD ADD SOME CLARITY RIGHT.

>> UNTIL FURTHER DISCUSSION DURING THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING MR. DID YOU GET THAT ROBIN WALTON TO POSTPONE THE MOTION UNTIL FURTHER DISCUSSION DURING THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING THE INSTRUMENT SELF-EVALUATION INSTRUMENT RESOLVES THIS TO BE REALLY

CLEAR. >> I THINK IT WAS FURTHER DISCUSSION DURING SPECIAL

[06:30:03]

YEAR? >> YES. AS IS THE COMMITTEE IS YES.

JUST CURIOUS BY THE WAY, MADAM CHAIR, I DID NOT ATTACK YOU. I CRITICIZED YOU.

THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. >> ALAN, I HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESPOND. I HAVE A RIGHT TO RESPOND. AND I DISAGREE WITH YOU AND I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH YOUR SONG THE WAY WE ATTACK PART COMPANY TONIGHT.

>> ARE FOLLOWING THE MOST COMPOSED TELLING. NO.

YES. ALL RIGHT. >> SMACK.

YES. YOU HAVE ME WITH EXAMPLE. THE MOTION CARRIES 10 1.

MR DOWLING IS STILL THE BROADER POINT OF ORDER. >> MADAM CHAIR.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE PROCESS? >> CAN WE TAKE A BREAK?

LET PEOPLE COOL DOWN. >> I'LL LET DR. OZ NATSUKI SPEAK FIRST AND THEN WE'LL TAKE A BREAK. HER HANDS SPIN OUT TO MAKE THE SAME REQUEST.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WE NEED A MOTION TO EXTEND THE MEETING BECAUSE IT'S IT'S.

IT'S LITERALLY 2 MINUTES BEFORE 9 15. OR WE OR WE ADJOURN.

AND THAT WOULD BE THE BREAK. IT'S EXTENDED MAINLY TILL YOU LEAVE AT THIS SECOND IT'S A MOTION MADE BY MR. CAMPBELL AS TO EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL WE FINISH THE AGENDA.

AND IT WAS SECOND BY EARL CAMPBELL MOTION TO EXTEND THE MEETING UNTIL THE AGENDA HAS

BEEN COMPLETED. >> DO YOU WANT ME TO OPEN THE BUILDING?

THEY HAVE NO EMPLOYEES AS MR. DOWLING VOTED YES. >> SAW A SHARK OR A SHARK?

>> YES. AFTER WHAT I'M DEBATING I GUESS SINCE THE GET IT OUT OF FIJI.

SO CURIOUS UNANIMOUSLY. YOU CAN HAVE MY APOLOGIES BUT IT'S JUST ON THE PHONE WITH MRS. QUESTION BARRY IS MY REPORT UP DR. CLOUD YOUR

GENITALS ON THE STREET. >> OUT THERE WHAT I MEAN MY IS MY REPORT UP?

[Committee Reports: Finance Committee]

>> IS IT TIME FOR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE TO PRESENT ON OUR LAST MEETING? OK, THANK YOU. THAT CLARIFIES. WE'RE FIRST GONNA START OFF WITH ONE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE HAVE FOR THE BOARD THIS EVENING AND THEN AFTER THAT IS DISCUSSED AND VOTED UPON WE CAN GO BACK AND REVIEW THE REST OF THE LAST FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING WHICH WAS HELD ON NOVEMBER 12TH. OK.

I'M BRUCE. LET ME GET MY READERS ON. I WILL MOVE BACK TO THE BOARD

[06:35:06]

QUARTER FINANCIAL REPORT. >> OK, MR. DIENSTAG I'M YEAH I'M GOING TO POINT IT OUT TO

YOU IF I MAY OR. >> GOOD EVENING AGAIN IN. SO ON NOVEMBER 12TH WE PRESENTED TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE P E THREE POINT SEVEN MONITORING REPORT.

JUST WANT TO PROVIDE A FEW HIGHLIGHTS FOR THIS EVENING REGARDING THAT REPORT.

AND AGAIN THIS IS THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30TH 20 20 THE GENERAL FUND REVENUES WERE REPORTED FIVE POINT THREE PERCENT. THEY WERE IDENTICAL TO THE PRIOR YEAR. SO REVENUES ARE VERY LOW AT THIS POINT DURING THE.

AND WE AS WE EXPECT TAX REVENUES TO COME IN VERY SHORTLY.

LOCAL PROPERTY TAXES WERE SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN THE PRIOR YEAR.

SO WE'LL KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT VERY SOON. WE DID BORROW A TAM THIS YEAR IN AMOUNT OF 14 POINT THREE MILLION AND THAT WILL HELP TO FUND THE OPERATION DISTRICT THROUGH THE TIME OF THE LOW CASH FLOWS AND THAT WILL BE REPAID AS SOON AS WE RECEIVE SUFFICIENT TAX COLLECTIONS. AND IT SHOULD BE IN THE FEBRUARY TIMEFRAME EXPENDITURES REPORTED AT APPROXIMATELY 17 PERCENT ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THE PRIOR YEAR AS WELL.

AND A FEW MAJOR THINGS THAT HAVE OCCURRED CARES THAT FUNDS OF COURSE WE'RE BEGINNING TO RECEIVE REVENUE REIMBURSEMENTS IN THOSE IN THE FIRST QUARTER. SO WE DID RECEIVE SOME KAZAKH FUNDS AS OUR CLAIMS AND OUR CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES WERE VERY HIGH IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR AS WELL AS WE ROUNDED OUT THE CONSTRUCTION RUBY RIDGE AND CONTINUED ON WITH THE RIVER AND BEGAN AND AND THE SUMMER WORK THAT WE HAD IN MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS.

SO STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND FOOD SERVICE ARE TWO AREAS THAT ARE DOWN BOTH DUE TO COATED THIS

YEAR. >> SO AS YOU CAN IMAGINE OUR MEAL COUNTS ARE DOWN DESPITE OUR EFFORTS FOR MEAL DISTRIBUTION IN THE COMMUNITIES.

AND THEN STUDENT ACTIVITIES ARE MUCH LESS DUE TO LACK OF RENTAL AND OTHER FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES TO DURING THE YEAR. SO WITH THAT I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU OWE ME

IN THIS ON THIS TOPIC GIVEN. >> THANKS RIBAUT. >> I'M.

I'LL TURN YOUR QUESTION ON THE TAIL. AS I RECALL WHEN WE WERE DOING THE BUILDING WHERE WE NEEDED MONEY FOR THE FOR THE BUILDING THAT THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE REFERENDUM WE DREW DOWN FROM OUR RESERVES SO TO SPEAK KNOWING THAT WE WOULD BE

GETTING THAT MONEY BACK. >> AND ON WHY DID WHY DON'T WE USE THAT SAME LOGIC WHEN IT COMES TO THE TAM? IS IT A TIMING ISSUE OR WE ACTUALLY TAN IS IN THE GENERAL FUND. SO WE ARE YOU DRAWING DOWN ALL OF THE FUND BALANCE AS WE WORK THROUGH THE SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER TIMEFRAME. SO WE'RE USING ALL OF THAT FUND BALANCE PLUS WE RUN OUT OF FUNDS BEFORE WE GET TO THE TAX COLLECTION PIECE BEFORE THOSE TAX COLLECTIONS COME IN. SO WE EXHAUST ALL OF THOSE RESERVES.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO USE THE OPERATIONAL FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION BECAUSE IT WAS IN THE JANUARY FEBRUARY TIMEFRAME. IT JUST HAPPENED THE TIMING OF YEAR WAS GOOD BECAUSE OUR TAX REVENUE AND CASH BALANCES HIGH THAT RIGHT NOW OUR CASH BALANCES ARE EXTREMELY LOW AND WE ARE IN DESPERATE NEED COMING OUT VERY SOON OF THE INCOMING TAX COLLECTIONS THAT WE WILL BE RECEIVING. SO WE'VE EXHAUSTED THE FUND BALANCE THAT MAKES SENSE.

>> THANKS TO GUARD. >> THANK YOU. BUT I'M SURE YOU HAVE SOME CONCERN. AS YOU'VE MENTIONED OUR RESERVES ARE DRAWN DOWN.

BUT WITH THE TAX BILL IS NOT GOING WELL, I THINK WE CAN ASSUME THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LAG IN TIME BEFORE WE GET OUR NORMAL REVENUES WHICH WE NORMALLY GET IN DECEMBER.

[06:40:05]

>> WELL, THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE TAM BEING THE SAME AMOUNT AS THE PRIOR YEAR.

SO WE DID DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE KNEW EARLIER IN THE YEAR THAT WE WERE GOING TO HAVE A LARGER THAN NORMAL INCREASE IN OUR FUND BALANCE AT YEAR END WE INCREASED BY 10 MILLION DOLLARS THIS YEAR TO DO TO SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS TO THE CLOSURE IN THE IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF THE FISCAL YEAR. SO WE JUST KNOWING THAT THE UNKNOWN EXPECTING THE UNKNOWN OF A PANDEMIC AND POTENTIAL STATE CUTS MID-YEAR WE CHOSE TO STAY THE SAME AMOUNT OF TAX ANTICIPATION. SO THANK GOODNESS WE DID THAT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO WE'RE NEEDING THOSE AND USING THOSE FUNDS NOW AS WE PREPARE FOR THAT DELAY IN TAX BILLS COMING IN. SO THE COUNTY TREASURER IN A MEETING THIS WEEK DID REASSURE US THAT THAT THAT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COVER ANY EXPENDITURE REQUESTS THAT WE ARE MAKING WITH CASH FLOWS AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. AND SO UNTIL THOSE TAX COLLECTIONS CONTINUE TO COME IN AND THEY HAVE OPENED THE TAX BILLS UP FOR PAYMENT AND WE'LL

BEGIN COLLECTING IN DECEMBER. >> THANK YOU. MY QUESTION WAS PRETTY MUCH ALONG THE LINES OF COLONEL DYER'S TIMEA BECAUSE I WATCHED THAT COUNTY COUNCIL MEETING ON MONDAY WHERE THEY SAID THAT THE PREPAYMENTS ARE GOING TO OPEN UP TO 7 CAVE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ALLOWED TO START PAYING THEIR TAXES TO SEPARATE TEAM ANYONE THAT WANTS TO.

HOWEVER, I BELIEVE THE DUE DATES CAN EXTEND IT TO FEBRUARY FOR PEOPLE FOR THEIR TAX BILLS.

AND SO MY QUESTION WAS HOW MUCH COMMUNICATION HAVE YOU HAD WITH THE COUNTY TO MAKE THIS CASE ANY SHORTFALL? SO I THINK YOU JUST ANSWERED THAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD BE

ABLE TO COVER US IF WE HAVE THAT SHORTFALL. >> YES, MA'AM.

THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THROUGH THE MEETING ON MONDAY. >> OK.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT. THERE BEING NO FURTHER ENDS UP VOTING IN VOTE THE FIRST HALF.

>> YES. TELLING LINEAGE THE MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

>> THAT CONCLUDES YOUR FINANCE REPORT WHILE IT DOES NOT. >> I WOULD LIKE TO RECOUNT THE MEETING IN ITS ENTIRETY IF I MAY. WE WE HAD ALSO ON THE AGENDA A LENGTHY DISCUSSION ABOUT MINORITY AND WOMEN BUSINESS ENTERPRISE AND KILLINGER AND OUR PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT DID A RATHER EXTENSIVE REVIEW OF OTHER DISTRICTS AROUND THE STATE AND EVIDENT WHEN NO ONE IS REALLY DOING ANY BETTER THAN WE ARE IN REGARD TO SURPASSING US IN THEIR CONTRACTS WITH OUR MINORITY AND WOMEN BUSINESS. SO THAT WAS VERY ENLIGHTENING AND CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD HAS DISCUSSED AT GREAT LENGTH AND THAT THE FINANCE COMMITTEE WANTED TO TAKE UP ONE MORE TIME. TONYA, DID YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WANTED TO ADD TO THAT PARTICULAR AGENDA ITEM? I'M NOT RECEIVING NO MA'AM.

OKAY. RACHEL OR? ANYTHING YOU HAVE NOTHING.

>> OKAY. MOVING ON THE OTHER OPTION THE OTHER NIGHT AND WE TALKED ABOUT WAS HE OUT OF A BOARD ACTION DIRECTING THE FINANCE COMMITTEE TO TAKE THIS MATTER AT THE BOARD'S NOVEMBER 10TH BOARD MEETING? THE THE JAG AUDITING FIRM WAS PRESENT TO PRESENT ITS AUDITING ITS FORENSIC AUDITING RESULTS TO THE BOARD AND IT MADE OF A RECOMMENDATION FOR ACCOUNTS AND ACTIVITIES TO BE LOOKED AT EXTENDING THE SCOPE OF THEIR

[06:45:02]

THE AUDITORS AT THE BOARD'S NOVEMBER 10TH MEETING SUGGESTED WE PROVIDE FORENSIC AUDIT PROCEDURES ON THE DISTRICT TAX ANTICIPATION NOTES AND SCAPEGOAT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED ACCOUNTS FROM JULY 1ST 2015 THROUGH JUNE 30TH 2020. THE FINANCE COMMITTEE TOOK THAT AND TWEAKED IT EVER SO SLIGHTLY. WE ALSO HAD THE AUDITORS WITH US OR ONE OF THE MANY WAY MISS IS HOW OUR MEMO AND WE TWEAKED THAT RECOMMENDATION TO SAY THEY HAD THE BOARD HERE WITH ME HERE. WE CHANGED THE END DATE.

WE KEPT IT AS IT IS BUT WE JUST CHANGED THE END DATE TO FEBRUARY 15TH 20 21.

ADD TO THAT THAT WAS THE THE EXTENT OF THAT DISCUSSION AND PERHAPS OF FUTURE FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL TAKE UP THAT RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD. I'M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENS THERE. IN AN EVENT LIKE THIS, WHETHER A SUBSEQUENT FINANCE CAN MAYBE WITH A DIFFERENT COMPOSITION CAN CARRY THAT. SO BUT BUT BUT THAT'S IT THAT'S OUR MEETING IN ITS ENTIRETY THAT THAT WRAPS UP THIS PARTICULAR FINANCE COMMITTEE'S WORK TOGETHER. I ENJOYED WORKING WITH DR. WISNIEWSKI AND MR. GARDNER AND WE'RE JUST MEETING THIS WEEK TO BUTTON UP ANY LAST MINUTES TIME .

THANK YOU. YOU WERE OUR GO TO PERSON HAS FINANCED LIAISONS.

YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION FOR US AT ANY OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS REQUESTED AND YOU ARE MOST APPRECIATED AND YOUR STAFF IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT.

THANK THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. WELL, THIS IS MY LAST MOTION THAT I LUBRICATE TO MAKE BASED BASED ON WHAT WE SAW A SHARE IT IS SAID I MOVE THAT THE BOARD HAVE FORENSIC AUDIT PROCEDURES PERFORMED ON DISTRICT THE ANTICIPATION NOTES PARENTHESES TEAMS AND ON SCALE TRANSACTIONS IN RELATED ACCOUNTS FOR MORE IN JULY 2015 TO 15 FEBRUARY 2021. THAT WAS OUR VIEW FROM THE AGENDA OF THEIR SECOND REVIEW TO THE BOARD RECOMMENDATION WHICH REMOVED I'M MAKING THIS I'M MAKING THIS MOTION AS AN INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBER BASED ON WHAT RESOURCE SHARE

CHECHESSEE I'LL BEING RECOGNIZED IN ORDER. >> I DIDN'T KNOW IF HIS HAND ON

THE ON THE ELECTRONIC BOARD. >> MY APOLOGIES MR. SMITH. I GUESS YOU COULD BE ASKING ABOUT NOW YOU'RE UP. GO AHEAD. THANKS.

>> I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR I AM NOT BRINGING FORWARD OUT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE THE FINANCE COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL BOARD.

THAT WAS TAKEN OFF THE AGENDA YESTERDAY. I JUST WANT THAT POINT OF CLARIFICATION. BUT ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBER IS CERTAINLY FREE TO MAKE ANY AND ALL MOTIONS PERTAINING TO MY REPORT THIS EVENING JUST AS WE DID.

WE HAVE PAST PRECEDENT WITH OTHER COMMITTEE REPORTS. SO THAT'S ALL I WOULD LIKE TO

ADD. >> MADAM CHAIR, SINCE I MADE A MOTION TO SPEAK.

[06:50:09]

SO THAT'S MY LAST GASP HAVING RELIED ON COMMUNITY CAN GET I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS MOTION AT

THIS TIME. >> I DON'T FEEL LIKE I THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH INFORMATION TO MOVE

FORWARD WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS. >> YOU KNOW, I THINK IF SOME EMOTION SUCH AS THIS REQUIRES MUCH INFORMATION, MUCH FACT FINDING, MUCH DELIBERATION AND TO MAKE IT AT THIS POINT IN TIME IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I COULD SUPPORT IS DISTURBING.

>> JEFF FROM ARCHER I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT MEANS. >> SO THOSE OF THE MOTION OFFICE THE MOTION THAT WAS TAKEN YESTERDAY. RIGHT.

OR IS THIS IS THIS THE MOTION FROM JOB TO MODIFY THE SCOPE OF WORK BY THE FINANCE COMMITTEE? I MEAN THAT'S NOT I DON'T THINK I HEARD I DON'T THINK I HEARD

BACK FROM MR. DOWN BUT HE CAN BE THIS MOTION RIGHT. >> WELL, LET ME GET BACK TO SOME WORDING FOR CONFUSING. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE FINANCE MANY WOULD DO.

DO YOU THINK THE FINANCE COMMITTEE IS TALKING ABOUT AMENDING THE CONTRACT AND THAT'S THE CASE THAT I HAVE SEVERAL THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THAT.

>> YES, BUT I NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT THAT'S THE INTENT BECAUSE I'M CONFUSED BY THIS

WORDING WHAT IT MEANS. >> WHAT'S THE WORLD? >> IF I CAN RESPOND TO DAVID ON THAT, I CAN PERHAPS CLARIFY IT. I'M MOVING SIMPLY THAT WE HAVE THE WORK DONE THAT WE HAVE THE FORENSIC WIDER PROCEDURES BEFORE AND ON THE DISTRICT THE ANTICIPATION NOTES IN THE SCAPEGOAT TRANSACTIONS. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SCOPE OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.

>> I'M MAKING THIS AS AN INDIVIDUAL. >> HOW ANGRY ENVISION THAT

HAPPENING WE WOULD GO TO BID. >> THAT'S THE WILL OF THE BOARD .

I MY OWN PERSONAL BENT WOULD BE SINCE THE SINCE JAKE IS THE ONE OR UNCOVERED SOME POTENTIAL AREAS OF RISK THEN IT MIGHT MAKE MORE SENSE TO HAVE THEM CONTINUE BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY DONE SOME LEGWORK ON THAT WAS MY CONCERN BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE CAN AMEND THEIR CONTRACT BECAUSE THAT CONTRACTS CLOSED AND YOU CAN ONLY AMANDA HOME IN CONTRACT AND GOING OUT

TO BID WOULD I THINK BE THE WAY TO GO. >> WELL THEY'LL BE LET'S RED SHIRT AND THAT'S CERTAINLY ABOUT EVERYBODY. I'M JUST HOPING THAT WE GET THE WORK DONE. I DON'T EVEN THINK WE SHOULD GO OUT TO BID TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH BECAUSE I THINK WE SHOULD WAIT FOR WAIT FOR THE LEGAL THINGS TO WORK OUT BECAUSE EVEN IF WE DID AN AUDIT AND SOMETHING WAS WRONG THAT I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE NEXT STEP

WOULD BE. >> I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE TOO ENGAGED IN LEGAL ACTIONS AND I WOULD WAIT UNTIL BERKELEY COUNTY'S LEGAL ACTIONS WERE DONE BEFORE WE WOULD DO ANYTHING. SO WE'D HAVE A STRONGER CASE. SO I WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO WAIT UNTIL BERKELEY WORKS ITS WAY OUT UNDERSTANDING THAT LEGAL PROCESS IS AGE YOU CONSIDERABLY. THEY TAKE SO LONG BUT WE COULD HAVE IT DONE.

WE THERE COULD BE A FINDING AND THEN WHAT WOULD WE DO? YOU KNOW WE WOULD WE WOULD TAKE A LEGAL ACTION AGAINST WHOMEVER WHICH WOULD BE DUPLICATING WHAT I THINK IS BEING DONE IN

BERKELEY BY A WHOLE LOT OF EXPERTS. >> BUT THOSE ARE MY QUESTIONS AROUND THIS IS A GREAT THING. I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THE MOTION PLEASE.

I HAVE MOTION TO HAVE FORENSIC AUDIT PROCEDURE ON THE DISTRICT'S TEST TAX

[06:55:03]

2015 TO FEBRUARY 15, 2021. IS THAT YOUR MOTION? >> YES, YES.

THE GREATER MEDICARE I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS MOTION BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THERE IS PROBABLE CAUSE FOR FORENSIC AUDIT WHOLE WHOLE PART OF THE BERKELEY COUNTY LAWSUIT IS THAT THERE WAS SOME TYPE COLLUSION BETWEEN THIS CFO AND SCAPEGOAT, THAT THERE WAS A KICKBACKS OR SOME PROFESSIONAL CONTACT BETWEEN A SCAPEGOAT MEMBER TO GET THAT BOND ISSUE, BE SKATER AND THAT THE SCAPEGOAT FEES WERE TOO HIGH AND THAT DAVID DIDN'T ALWAYS LOOK AT CHEAPER

ALTERNATIVES. >> SO IF THERE IS ANY RESCUE WE HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN ORTLEY COUNTY'S RELATIONSHIP WITH CHICAGO AND OURS.

I'VE LOOKED AT OUR RELATIONSHIP ,OUR CONTRACTS AND WE'VE DONE AND I I SEE NO WAY THAT ANYBODY FROM THE DISTRICT OTHER THAN THE BOARD APPROVED WHO GETS THE BON WORK AND WE HAVE CHOSEN AND WE DID. A YEAR AGO WE CHOSE WE TOOK A LOOK AT DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVES FOR THE BOND ISSUE. WE CHOSE SCAPEGOAT BECAUSE THEY WERE THE CHEAPEST.

AND SO WHEN I LOOKED AT I ASKED FOR SOME INFORMATION FROM TONYA CROSBY ABOUT HOW MANY BOND

ISSUES ARE WE TALKING ABOUT. >> THERE IS 14 SKATE GO ISSUES LISTED BELOW.

THERE WAS FIVE ISSUES FOR TANZ AND WHAT WE PAID THE TRUE INTEREST THAT WE PAID THOSE AT THE LOW WAS POINT THIRTY FOUR PERCENT POINT THREE FOUR PERCENT THE HIGH THE INTEREST RATE OF ONE POINT FIVE ONE PERCENT. SO THAT'S.

THAT'S PRETTY DARN LOW GIVEN THAT THE TIMEFRAME THAT WE HAD THEY DID SOME GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FROM US. NOW HIGH FOR THE BOOKS LIKE EIGHT DIFFERENT BONDS WAS ONE POINT EIGHT. ONE PERCENT WAS THE HIGHEST RATE WE PAID.

THE LOWEST RATE WAS POINT ONE ZERO PERCENT. SO IF SKATE GOES MAKING A LOT OF MONEY THEY'RE NOT MAKING A LOT OF MONEY ON US AND THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME KIND OF PROBABLE CAUSE BEFORE YOU DO A FORENSIC ON. NOW LET'S SAY WE WE WENT AHEAD AND DID THIS. WHAT THEY WERE GOING WOULD HAVE TO DO IS THEY WOULD HAVE TO DETERMINE THAT WE COULD HAVE GOTTEN A BETTER INTEREST RATE. THAT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFICULT. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DETERMINE WHAT OUR RELATION SHIP IS WITH SCAPEGOAT VERSUS WHAT BERKELEY COUNTY'S RELATIONSHIP IS ESCAPING.

WELL, WE'RE NOT GOING TO FIND THAT OUT UNTIL THAT TRIAL GOES TO TRIAL.

>> BECAUSE THE PLAINTIFF'S ATTORNEY IS NOT GOING TO SHARE THAT WITH US.

THE DEFENDANT'S ATTORNEY IS NOT GOING TO SHARE THAT WITH US. IT'LL BE SHARED WHEN IT GOES TO TRIAL. IF IT GOES TO TRIAL. SO WE HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST WELL, MAYBE WE DID SOMETHING BECAUSE BILLY SAUNDERS AS THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH CHICAGO WITH BILLY SANDERS ISN'T HERE ANYMORE IF THERE WAS A ARREST.

>> IT MAY BE ARRESTED. WE DID SOMETHING WRONG IN THE PAST.

I DON'T SEE THAT WE CAN. WE'RE GOING TO DO ANYTHING WRONG IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE SCAPEGOAT PROPOSAL VERSUS OTHERS AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE

THE CHEAPEST ONE. >> SO I JUST DON'T SEE THE RISK OTHER THAN WHEN A AUDITING FIRM A NEW AUDITING FIRM FROM NEW MEXICO WANTS SOME MORE WORD FROM US.

WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THEY'LL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A PROCUREMENT CODE AND WE'LL HAVE TO PUT IT UP FOR BID. BID WE WILL NOT BE ABLE ACCORDING TO OUR CODE .

[07:00:02]

SAY WHAT DO WE WANT? >> ONCE YOU DO LOOK AT AND WHAT'S IN THAT'S JANUARY 4TH IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ANY FIRM TO COME IN AND DO A FORENSIC AUDIT OTHER THAN TO TELL US.

WELL, WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE BERKELEY COUNTY EVIDENCE IS IN PUBLIC DOMAIN AND THEN WE COULD TALK. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER INSTANCE WHERE WE ARE ABOUT TO DO AN ADDITIONAL AUDIT. IT'S GOING TO COST US MORE THAN WE'VE ALREADY SPENT ON ADDITIONAL AUDITS FOR VERY LITTLE CAUSE. WE'VE SPENT A HUNDRED AND THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ON TWO AUDITS FOR THE TAJ AND THEN THEN THE MOST RECENT AUDIT THAT WE DID WITH J THAT FOUND OH BY THE WAY NOTHING OTHER THAN A DIFFERENCE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS BETWEEN US THE TREASURER AND THE AUDITOR WHICH ALL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE DIFFERENT AND

ALL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE A SNAPSHOT IN TIME. >> SO I JUST CAN'T SUPPORT THIS. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE AND IT'S A FURTHER WASTE OF FUNDS FOR VERY LITERALLY REASON AND IT'S JUST MET FIRST HOW I START OFF BY SAYING I'VE HEARD WHAT SOMEONE LIKE ALL MY COLLEAGUES ARE SAYING AND I HAVE HEARD WHAT THE LAST TWO HAVE SAID

ABOUT HOW WE CAN WAIT ON THE BERKELEY CASE TO PLAY OUT. >> I THINK THAT THAT THAT THAT BUT THAT IS NOT ACCURATE BECAUSE THEY MAY MAYBE YOU KNOW, I'M LEARNING MAYBE MAYBE

I COULD BE WRONG. >> I MEAN I'M NOT MORE. THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM TO BE EDUCATED. BUT LAST TIME I CHECKED I BELIEVE THERE'S A DESERT AS TIME OF STATUTE. THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED STATUTE OF LIMITATION IN STATUE OF LIMITATIONS IS UP. AND WHAT WE WOULD SAY WE CAN'T ASK FOR I OWE YOU A REASON.

CAN'T SAY OH WELL I GUESS WE JUST LEARNED FOR FROM NOW WE'RE MOVING FORWARD.

AND MAYBE MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE MAY NEED TO ASK FOR TO SAY HEY, WELL WE DON'T WANT TO PURSUE ANYTHING BECAUSE I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS THERE COULD BE A STATUTE OF LIMITATION ON THE SITUATION THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE THAT I NEED THAT THAT THAT IS ONE IN QUESTION TWO IS HE YOU KNOW, WE HAD A PART OF A AUDIT LAST NIGHT AND YOU KNOW, DON'T LISTEN TO ELLIS DO THAT IS TO TO TO PART OF PA. ARE WE NOW THE WHOLE AUDIT?

BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S AMAZING. >> HOW WILL YOU LISTEN TO PART AUDIT? BUT WE CAN'T LISTEN TO THE THE AUDIT BECAUSE THEY DID THE JOB WITH THE MONEY FROM JAG BASICALLY TOLD US THAT THERE WAS MORE DEAR THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AND THAT'S WHAT WE ASKED HIM. THAT WAS THAT I HAVE A I'M CORRECT THAT'S WHAT WE ASKED HIM TO DO TO GO IN AND DISSECT IT AND SEE AND COME BACK AND REPORT TO US WHAT YOU SEE THERE. ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU SEE OR ANYTHING THAT THAT COULD POSSIBLY RAISE AN EYEBROW? PLEASE COME BACK AND LET US KNOW EVEN IF IT'S NOT A PART OF THE RFP AND THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JAG DID.

SO I'M JUST WONDERING DO WE DO HERE ARE WE SAYING THAT SOME AUDITORS ARE CORRECT AND SOMEBODY IS I'M NOT CORRECT. IF YOU COME AGAINST US AND TALK THAT TELL US YOU FIND SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T WE DON'T WANT YOU TO MOVE ANY FURTHER. I MEAN I'M JUST TRYING TO I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE RULES WHICH DIRECTION OF THE NET DEBT ME IN MY CAR THAT LET THIS BOY'S BECAUSE JAG BASICALLY TOLD US THAT THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WAS QUESTIONABLE THAT SOMEONE ELSE NEED TO LOOK INTO AND THERE WERE SOME THINGS THAT WAS CONCERNING AND IT RAISED THAT RAISED THEIR EYEBROWS AND THAT WELL, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT WE ASK ALONG WITH OTHER QUESTIONS. BUT FOR THEM TO COME BACK AND SAY THAT IF I SEE EVEN IF A SELF IS ALMOST EVEN TO ATTACK THEM ONCE THEY TOLD US THAT I JUST I'M I'M KIND OF LOST. WOMAN MOVE OVER, MOVE FORWARD. I'M GOING FURTHER.

AND THEN WE SAY WELL WE CAN'T GIVE J THE RFP. WELL, I FIND IT WHERE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT STUFF ALL WE REALLY ARE A PIECE OUT FOR INSTANCE CUT THE CONTRACTS, WE PUT OUR

[07:05:06]

WELL WE KNOW THAT OTHER PEOPLE IN THE AREA AND CERTAIN AREAS OR WITHIN THIS KIND OF AREA THEY DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH BONDED. BUT WE KNOW THE PERSON IN ARIZONA BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF BONDED THAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.

SO THEREFORE WE JACK IT UP TO HAVE THE THE MORAL BONDING THAT THEY THEY THAT THEY MAY WANT.

SO YOU KNOW, I'M JUST QUESTIONING THINGS THAT WE'RE SAYING IT'S TRYING TO BRING IT TOGETHER SO THAT I CAN DO PROCESSING AND UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS THAT WE'RE TAKING THAT THIS BOARD IS TAKING BECAUSE LIKE I SAID FOR ONE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN'T GIVE RFP BUT SOMETHING COULD BE SOMEPLACE IF YOU WORK WITHIN THE AREA OF SOMETHING THE AREA OF SOMETHING POSSIBLY YOU LOOK AT THINGS WITH THE RESOURCE OR COMPANIES OR SOME SUBMIT RFP THERE THEY ARE THEY ARE WARNING THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO POSSIBLY ENTERTAIN CERTAIN PEOPLE OUT THERE AND I KNOWS THAT THERE'S A WARNING WAS WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT FOR CERTAIN THAT IT IS USED IS WAS WAY AS WELL AS WHAT IS WHEN I'M WONDERING YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO PROCESS THAT.

SO YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT OUR PEAK COULD GO AND IF WHO WHOEVER QUALIFIES FOR IT, I THINK WE CAN GIVE IT TO THEM. I MEAN TO SAY WELL WE'RE WAY, WAY OUT.

WE'VE BEEN DOING OUR PIECE BAND SQUARE RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE BUT WHEN WE WOULD THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD THAT BE THAT SAID OH MY GUYS YOU ASKING BUT I BELIEVE THAT I HEARD JAKE SAYING THAT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING THAT THAT RAISED EYEBROWS AND THAT THAT WAS A QUESTION THAT WE ASK AND I'LL BE DONE WITH IT. AND IT IS TIME SENSIBLE.

SO I WILL SUPPORT EMOTION. I MEAN IT IS TIME SENSIBLE. SO I WILL SUPPORT THIS MOTION

SENSITIVE. >> THANK YOU. I JUST WANT TO SAY THIS WE HAVE BEEN DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE NOW SEVERAL MONTHS OR ONE YEAR. SAME THING.

AND. THERE IS NO TIME IN ONE CASE OF THE BERKELEY COUNTERPARTS IN THE COUNCIL. NOBODY CAN CHANGE THAT. AND I DO NOT THINK AS SOME OF US DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. BUT THE KIND OF WE'VE TALKED

ABOUT IT BUT I DON'T THINK WE REALLY KNOW HOW WHAT HAPPENED. >> AND THE PEOPLE HAVE WALLABIES AND HEAVY STONES. SO WE'LL BE WE COME BACK AND WE START TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AGAIN. YOU KNOW, I KNOW THE REASON WHY IN ALL I THINK ALL OF US KNOW BUT I THINK WE SHOULD DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO AND THIS GO ABOUT OUR BUSINESS.

PEOPLE HAVE CAME THEY DIDN'T WRITE A REPORT AND ARE FOUND BE PROFESSIONALLY, YOU KNOW.

SO THAT'S JUST MIKE. THANK YOU. >> I I WANT TO MAKE A FEW VERY CLEAR POINTS. NUMBER ONE JAG THEIR FORENSIC AUDITING FIRM NEVER EVER CRITICIZED OUR FINANCE STAFF OR PUTN THE LIGHT OF QUESTION.

I WANT TO MAKE THAT VERY CLEAR TO THE PUBLIC IF ANYTHING EXTRA SOURCE IS ACTING UPON THE DISTRICT HAVE BEEN PUT IT INTO QUESTION HERE. SO THAT'S POINT NUMBER ONE BECAUSE I'VE SEEN SOME COMMENTS ON SOCIAL MEDIA THAT IT WAS SOMEHOW A NEGATIVE OR A SWIPE AT FINDING ITS PEOPLE. IT WAS INDEED NOT. AND I.

AND YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND ANY COMMENT MADE BY THE AUDITORS THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT IN FACT THEY WERE HIGHLY COMPLIMENTARY OF MISS CROSBY AND OUR FOLKS.

THEY WERE VERY COOPERATIVE WITH THE AUDIT. SO I WANT TO MAKE THAT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR. THE PRESS RELEASE THAT WENT OUT TO FOLKS CLAIMING THE ONE HUNDRED PLUS THOUSAND DOLLAR NUMBER IS ACCURATE BUT IT'S A BIT MISLEADING.

THE BOARD IS REQUIRED EVERY YEAR TO HAVE AN ANNUAL AUDIT AND THAT'S WHAT IS AT 56 GRAND

AND ROUGHLY ANNUALLY. TONYA, DOES ANYBODY KNOW? >> AM I IN THE BALLPARK? YES. FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR.

THAT HUNDRED THOUSAND IS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE ANNUAL EXTERNAL AUDITS.

YES. NOW THERE ARE SOME EXTERNAL AUDITS GUY AND I GOT TO GIVE

[07:10:05]

AND I CAN TELL YOU THERE'S AT LEAST ONE OTHER BOARD MEMBER SEATED HERE THAT DID NOT VOTE FOR IT EITHER. SO NO, I DON'T AGREE TO ALL AUDITS BUT I DO TO THIS ONE.

WHY? THIS IS A VERY UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE.

WE GET CLEAN AUDIT AFTER CLEAN AUDIT AND WE DID THIS TIME AS WELL.

THEY FOUND NO FRAUD. THEY FOUND A DOUBLE POSTING IN PORT COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWNS BUT NO FRAUD. BUT THEY ENCOURAGED JUST TO DIG DEEPER, LOOK AT THESE ACCOUNTS.

I CAN'T REMEMBER ANOTHER ACCOUNTING FIRM EVER GIVING THAT RECOMMENDATION TO US AND IN DOING OUR FIDUCIARY DUTY I BELIEVE I HAVE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT RECOMMENDATION.

AND PUT IT DOWN TO BID IF IT'S IF IT'S THE BOARD'S WILL. >> BUT ONE COULD ARGUE IF YOU LOOK AT THAT LETTER OF AGREEMENT THAT THE CHAIR SIGNED WITH JAG, IT DOES SAY THERE THAT THEY CAN EXTEND THE CONTRACT SHOULD THERE BE ADDITIONAL AREAS THAT THEY WANT TO RESEARCH. NOW THE BOARD NEVER SAW THAT CONTRACT.

WE NEVER VOTED ON IT. THAT LETTER OF AGREEMENT BUT THE CHAIR DID SIGN IT.

SO YOU KNOW, ONE COULD YOU COULD GO THAT ROUTE AND CONTINUE WITH JAG BUT WHATEVER THE BOARD'S WILL ON THAT PARTICULAR MATTER. IT'S A VERY PINPOINT ON IT.

IT SHOULDN'T BE A 60 GRAND AUDIT LIKE THAT RIDICULOUS PICARD AUDIT WAS SOME YEARS BACK. AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE ANYBODY WHO QUESTIONS THE BOATING ON THAT PARTICULAR COSTLY AUDIT TO TAKE A LOOK AT BOARD MINUTES AND YOU'LL SEE HOW HOW THE BOAT WENT DOWN. LESSONS LEARNED. DAVID, I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE TO LOOK BACK SOMETIMES THERE ARE LESSONS LEARNED THAT WE CAN ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE.

I THINK YOU WERE WITH ME AND YOU DID NOT VOTE FOR THAT COSTLY AUDIT IF I RECALL.

SO I WANTED TO MAKE ALL OF THOSE THINGS CLEAR. I'M GOING TO BE ON RECORD AS SUPPORTING THIS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S NOT AN ATTACK ON OUR STAFF. THEY WANT TO JUST GET IN THERE. TAKE A LOOK.

THEY THINK IT'S IN OUR BEST INTERESTS TO TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE TENT THERE IN THOSE FEW ACCOUNTS. AND I THINK GIVEN HOW UNUSUAL IT IS FOR AUDITING FIRM TO MAKE THIS RECOMMENDATION TO US, I THINK WE OUGHT TO HEED IT. AND I THINK WE OUGHT TO FORGET ABOUT BERKELEY RIGHT NOW. THE AREAS OF RISK HAVE SIMILARITIES TO BERKELEY BUT WE DO NOT MOVE TO WAIT TO THAT CASE WRAPS UP MR. I THINK IT'S A RED HERRING AND A LITTLE DISINGENUOUS TO VIEW THIS REQUEST AS SOME BERKELEY OF THIS HAS VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF MATTERS THAT ARE THAT ARE BEING LITIGATED WITH WITH BERKELEY AND AS FAR AS MONEY GOES, LET'S FACE IT WE PAY JAG FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT'S ONE THIRD OF THE MONEY TWICE AWAY WAY EVERY YEAR IN DUES TO THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION.

>> SO IF WE SPEND A THIRD OF THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT AREAS OF RISK ARE IN OUR INVESTIGATIVE AND I THINK WE'RE DOING A GOOD JOB IF WE DO THAT .

>> THANK YOU. IT'S JUST GIVEN YOU YOU MIGHT SMELL IT.

>> KATIE, IT'S NOT HOW YOU PUT IT IN THE THIS YEAR DOWN. YOU PUT YOUR HAND DOWN.

>> I'M NOT GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THIS NOTION. I ATTENDED THAT FINANCE COMMITTEE MEETING WHICH I AGREE. YOU ARE A ROMEO.

HER REASON FOR STAYING IN THE AUDIT REPORT THAT THIS MESS WASN'T AN ADDITIONAL RISK FOR THE BOARD TO ADDRESS WAS NOT BASED ON ANY ANY ANY NUMBERS OR INFORMATION SHE RECEIVED DOING

[07:15:08]

THE AUDIT. >> IT WAS TOTALLY OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF WHAT SHE DID.

AND HER SOLE REASON WAS THE BERKELEY LAWSUIT SHOW THAT ON THE SCREEN SHE HAD NO OTHER REASON FOR RECOMMENDING OBVIOUSLY GIFTS. YOU KNOW, SHE WAS UNDOUBTEDLY HOPING FOR MORE BUSINESS WHEN YOU DO AN AUDIT AND AT A VERY DISCOUNTED COST PROBABLY I SUSPECTED. I KNOW ACTUALLY FROM THE FINAL BILL THAT THE THEY DID MORE WORK THAN 15000 BUT THAT'S WHAT WE ARE CHARGED TO SALAZAR ARE NOT TO EXCEED.

NO, NO. THEY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR ADDITIONAL WORK.

I MEAN THAT'S THAT'S THE NATURE OF DOING BUSINESS. IS NO PROBABLE CAUSE.

SKAGGS SCANDAL HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE EARLY TO THOUSANDS AND I BELIEVE THEY HAVE DONE I BELIEVE TWO THIRDS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA HAVE CAN'T HAVE DONE TAMPERS WITH THEM. SO IF IF IF THESE HANDS ARE PROBLEMATIC WITH SCANDAL WE GOING TO BE DISTRICT THAT'S GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM. AND I THINK THE BERKELEY LAWSUIT NEEDS TO YOU KNOW, WE NEED THE INFORMATION FROM THAT AS IT PLAYS OUT IN COURT.

AND I THINK IT'S PREMATURE AND LIKE I SAID, I WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS.

>> MR. SMITH, OF COURSE YOU WOULD GET A LEGAL OPINION. SEE, THERE IS A STATUTE

OF LIMITATION ON THIS BEFORE BEFORE WE VOTE IN A COURT. >> WE HAVE A COURT.

>> IS MRS. COLLEGE IN THE ROOM NOW WHERE SHE LIVES AND SHE OH, I BELIEVE I SEE MISS COLLEGE

ONLINE ONLINE. >> COULD SHE COULD SHE LET US KNOW THIS STATUTE LIMITATION

BEFORE WE TAKE A VOTE? >> I DON'T SEE HOW THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION OF WHERE IT'S UP THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS DOESN'T APPLY IN A CRIMINAL ACTION.

>> IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, MR. SMITH? I DON'T KNOW.

>> YES. WELL, NANCY, WE ARE WE FIND OUT AFTER THESE ESCAPE GO I MEAN AFTER THE BERKELEY GUY COUNTY'S SITUATION CAN KICK CAN WE PURSUE AT THAT TIME OR WILL THE STATUTE OF LIMITATION BE BE IN PLACE? WE'LL BE ALLOWED PAST US.

>> NO, WE WE DON'T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WHERE THIS HAS TO DO WITH OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT IF WE GET MORE INFORMATION FROM BERKELEY THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON US WE CAN MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE WITH A CRIMINAL WITH CRIMES LIKE THAT WITH THE CRIMINAL SITUATION, MR. SMITH, YOU DON'T HAVE A STATUTE OF LIMITATION LANGUAGE.

>> YOU KNOW, I HOPE I'LL PLAY INTO YOUR QUESTION, SIR. >> YES.

LET ME SHOW YOU. THANK YOU. THAT'S WHAT I THINK.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW. SCOTT? YES, SIR.

RIGHT NOW KEEPS UP ALL OF THAT CASE. I'LL KEEP ON THAT CASE FOR THE BOARD. I WILL. THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THERE'S NO FURTHER HAS ALSO ALREADY CALLED THE LOADING ZONE. NOW WHAT'S GOING DOWLING YES.

>> THE WARSHIP. I'M SORRY. >> YES.

EMOTION FAILS FOR SEVEN. >> THE NAYS PREVAIL. NO, IT'S EARL CAMPBELL.

CHRISTINA WHAT STATE EXTREMITY ATTACK ROW BY MELVIN CAMPBELL. TRES BIEN RICH AND RICHARD DYER

DIRE. >> ALL RIGHT. WE'RE NOW THROUGH THE

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT. >> DR. RODRIGUEZ, THANK YOU. THIS EVENING THE FIRST ITEM IN

[Superintendent’s Report: Goal #3 Fiscal Responsibility]

MS. CROSBY, GOOD EVENING AGAIN. >> SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER TRANSPARENCY REPORTS ARE BOTH AVAILABLE FOR YOU. WE DID THIS ONE MONTH WITH THE REDUCED MEETINGS IN NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. ALSO THERE IS ONE REPORT SEPTEMBER TRENT TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR REPORT AVAILABLE.

THE OCTOBER REPORT WAS NOT QUITE READY YET. SINCE WE ARE A LITTLE BIT AHEAD

[07:20:04]

REPORTS THIS EVENING. >> THERE'S THERE'S NO HANDS UP. OH, MY FAVORITE THIS RACE.

MISS CROSBY, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE TIME TO ASK YOU THIS, BUT CAN YOU JUST GIVE US AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE STAND WITH SPENDING OUR CARES MONEY OUR CARES MONEY?

>> YES. I ACTUALLY MET WITH THE SPECIAL REVENUE DIRECTOR OF GRANT'S MANAGEMENT AND SPECIAL REVENUE ACCOUNTANT TODAY WE HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY ONE AND A HALF MILLION OF THE FOUR POINT NINE MILLION OF CARERS ACT FUNDS AND HAVE SPENT VERY LITTLE APPROXIMATE TWENTY THOUSAND OF THE CRF MONEY THAT WAS ADDITIONAL TWO POINT ONE MILLION DOLLAR ALLOCATION. WE HAVE SEVERAL OUTSTANDING COMMITMENTS THAT ARE BEING ARE HAVE BEEN MADE FOR EXAMPLE ADDITIONAL NURSES WITH THOSE FUNDS CHILD CARE, ONGOING CHILD CARE. IT ETC. AND SOME PURCHASES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ARE PENDING AND OTHERS THAT ARE LOOKING ARE WE ARE LOOKING INTO SO MANY ADDITIONAL COMMITMENTS BEYOND THAT THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT. AND I HAD PLANNED TO PREPARE A BRIEF PRESENTATION ON THAT WITH A SUMMARY DETAILS IN THE JANUARY TIMEFRAME FOR THE BOARD .

>> SO. SO BASICALLY THOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY HAS TO BE SPENT BY DECEMBER 30 FIRST RIGHT?

>> NOT TO MY UNDERSTANDING ON THESE AREAS THERE. THE CRF FUNDS MUST BE SPENT BY SEPTEMBER 20 21. THE CARES ACT FUNDS MUST BE SPENT BY SEPTEMBER 22.

SO I'M NOT AWARE OF A DECEMBER 30, DECEMBER 20 20 DEADLINE BUT I CAN FOLLOW UP WITH MR.

BENNETT AND VERIFY THAT THERE ARE THERE IS ANOTHER. >> WE RECEIVED MEMOS REGARDING HOTSPOT FUNDING AND SO BASICALLY THE THE HOT SOME OF THE HOT SPOTS WERE SENT TO THE DISTRICT. FREE OF CHARGE. SO THAT'S CONSIDERED TO BE A HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR ALLOCATION. THAT MAY BE THE DEADLINE YOU'RE REFERRING TO. BUT I CAN CERTAINLY CHECK ON THAT.

>> I CERTAINLY COULD HAVE GOTTEN IT WRONG. BUT WHEN WE WERE HAVING A LEGISLATIVE UPDATE WEBINAR RECENTLY, I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THEY INDICATED THERE WAS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT HAD TO BE SPENT BY THE END OF DECEMBER.

ELSE WAS ON THERE. I WAS ON THERE. DAVID KATHY.

SO I ALSO REMEMBER THAT IT WAS A SPECIFIC PART OF CARERS THAT HAD TO BE SPENT BY THE END OF DECEMBER AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT SPECIFIC PART THAT WAS WITH THE LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE . JUST LAST WEEK WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION THERE WAS AN EARLIER PART THAT WAS OUR LEAGUE FUNDS.

>> WE DID SEEK REIMBURSED AND RECEIVED IT ALREADY FOR THOSE IT COULDN'T.

SO THERE ARE MULTIPLE POTS OF MONEY. IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE LEAST FUNDS. BUT I'LL FOLLOW UP AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF THAT DEADLINE AND AND OUR MEETING THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

SO CAN I ASK DAVID OR KATHY OR EARL, DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR HEART? IT WAS JUST PART OF WHAT YOU SAID AND MAYBE IT WAS TOO LATE. I CAN'T REMEMBER.

IT'S A BIT HARD. I REMEMBERED AS WELL THAT I HAD TO BE SPENT AND IT DOES ONCE LEAP DOES SEEM TO RESONATE WITH ME THAT IT WAS WAS THAT MONEY. BUT IT'S CERTAINLY WORTH

CHECKING, RIGHT? >> YES. WE RECEIVED A REIMBURSEMENT FOR LEAP FOR TWO MILLION DOLLARS SO THAT WAS SPENT TO RECEIVE. BUT THERE ARE SO THERE ARE AT LEAST FOUR POTS THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED. ALLOCATIONS OR INFORMATION ON AN AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO JUGGLE ALL OF THE RULES ON EACH ONE TO HAVE UNIQUE RESTRICTIONS

. >> IS THERE NO GAMBLE THIS IS FOR MY PERSONAL WORLD.

>> HOW DOES THE COMBINATIONS WITH TERMS OF INDIVIDUAL ACCOMMODATIONS REQUESTED BY

[07:25:04]

TEACHERS WORK IN TERMS OF THE KIDS FUNDS? >> THOSE FUNDINGS THAT FUNDING RUNS OUT DECEMBER 30 FIRST IF IT'S NOT RENEWED BY CONGRESS. SO THAT ALL WORKS IN WITH THE

EMERGENCY SICK LEAVE PAY THE FMLA. >> PORTION OF ACCOMMODATIONS ARE PERMANENT. THAT'S A FEDERAL ACT THAT WAS PASSED BACK IN THE 70S.

I BELIEVE THAT'S ALWAYS IN PLACE BUT A CALL WITH ACCOMMODATIONS WILL END

DECEMBER 30 FIRST IN TERMS OF PAID SICK LEAVE. >> CAN I HAVE MR.

>> I JUST FOUND MY NOTES FROM THAT WEBINAR AND IT DOES INDICATE THAT WHAT EXPIRED TWELVE THIRTY TWENTY ARE THAT CORONA VIRUS RELIEF FUNDS. SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT MISS WALTON IS REFERRING TO. THE OTHER FUNDS WERE FROM THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION GOES FROM 2 9 THIRTY TWENTY ONE AND THEN US TREASURY BROUGHT BROADBAND.

IT GOES LONGER AS WELL BUT AT LEAST THE CORONA VIRUS RELIEF FUNDS THAT EXPIRE DECEMBER

30TH. >> THIS MONTH. THANK YOU, TANYA.

THERE'S NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. >> THANK YOU. OKAY.

ON NEXT PORTION OF THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT IS UNDER OTHER MATTERS AND DURING THIS SECTION WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE 45 DAY COUNT NUMBERS AND THE AT 19.

[Superintendent’s Report: Update on 45-day Count]

THE VAST MISCARRIED CRUTCHFIELD FROM OUR OPERATION DIVISION TO JOIN US.

MISS CRUTCHFIELD, I THANK YOU ALL. >> YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN QUITE THE YEAR AND WITH OUR DELAYED OPENING AS RODRIGUEZ JUST TALKED ABOUT, OUR FORTY FIFTH DAY WAS PUSHED WELL INTO NOVEMBER. SO ANALYSIS IS CONTINUING AS WE HEAD INTO THE HOLIDAYS. I'D LIKE TO REPORT THAT THIS YEAR DISTRICT WIDE ENROLLMENT IS TWENTY ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE STUDENTS A DIFFERENCE OF ELEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THREE FROM LAST YEAR. MOST OF THE DECREASE IS AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL LEVEL WHERE AS YOU KNOW IN SOUTH CAROLINA PRE-K AND KINDERGARTEN ARE NOT COMPULSORY. MIDDLE SCHOOLS SAW A SMALL DECREASE AS WELL WHILE HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS ACTUALLY HAVE INCREASED, OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE SEEING SIMILAR TRENDS WITH THE GLOBAL PANDEMIC RESULTING IN A LOSS OF APPROXIMATELY THIRTY TWO HUNDRED IN GREENVILLE COUNTY JUST OVER A FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND CHARLESTON COUNTY ABOUT 12 15 OR A COUNTY AND JUST OVER A THOUSAND IN DORCHESTER TO SCHOOL DISTRICT AND CONVERSATIONS HAD WITH SCHOOL PLANNERS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY TEXAS, WASHINGTON, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE SEEING SIMILAR TRENDS THIS YEAR AND ARE DISCUSSING DELAYING DECISIONS ON PROJECTIONS, KNOWING THAT THIS YEAR IS AN OUTLIER FROM PREVIOUS TRENDS AND THAT CERTAINLY IS THE CASE WITH BEAUFORT COUNTY ASKING A MAN CARE.

>> DO WE HAVE ANY OF THAT BROKEN DOWN BY NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE BROAD? AS I SAID, WE'RE STILL DOING ANALYSIS WORK ON ALL THAT AND WE HOPE TO HAVE THAT RIGHT

AFTER THE HOLIDAYS TO SHARE WITH YOUR PEOPLE. >> DR. WISNIEWSKI, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU'RE LOOKING FOR WITH RESPECT TO THE BLUFFTON GROWTH COMMITTEE?

>> YES, SIR. MARSHA, MY QUESTION IS. I DON'T KNOW WHO I DIRECT THIS QUESTION TO YOU PERHAPS DR. RODRIGUEZ. TYPICALLY THE BOARD HAS ISSUED A SPIRAL BOUND COPY OF THE PLAY AND THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN BOOK.

MAY I STILL HAVE A COPY EVEN THOUGH I'M EXITING INTO THE MINE? I'M NOT SURE WHEN THE BOOK WILL BE COMPLETED. I DON'T I DON'T THINK IT CAN

[07:30:05]

WE AGAIN WITH THE DELAY IN THE 45 DAY THAT THAT PUSHES EVERYTHING YOU KNOW FORWARD A LOT OF TIMES WE DON'T GET THAT TO YOU UNTIL JANUARY ANYWAY. SO I MEAN WE'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING FURTHER INTO NEXT YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF YOU KNOW, I'M JUST DELIGHTED.

TOM FRAME DO IT WOULD YOU KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE ONLINE WHEN WE AS SOON AS WE HAVE IT

PUBLISHED. EXCELLENT. >> BUT MY REQUEST IS TO HAVE A COPY WITH THE REST OF THIS CURRENT SEATED FORWARD. I KNOW WE'LL BE LATE COMING AND I UNDERSTAND THE REASONS WHY BUT I'M JUST REQUESTING A HARD COPY IF I MAY.

YOU KNOW, I PERSONALLY DON'T DON'T HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU USE WE'VE BEEN HERE THROUGH THROUGH THROUGH THROUGH ALL OF IT. SO I DON'T I PERSONALLY DON'T

HAVE AN ISSUE WITH IT AT SO. THANK YOU. >> DR. RODRIGUEZ WITH THE D DECREASED NUMBER OF STUDENTS ALMOST TWELVE HUNDRED BUCKS STUDENTS PLUS ACTIVES IT'S HAD THERE ARE NUMBERS OF TEACHERS YOU KNOW TYPICALLY TAKE A TWENTY FIVE TO ONE RATIO.

HAVE WE HAD TO USE ANY TEACHING POSITIONS OR WE HAVE NOT CUT ANY TEACHING POSITIONS.

>> MS. MS. CROSBY AND I HAVE HAD SOME CONVERSATIONS AROUND AROUND THIS AND PART OF IT IS WE STILL DON'T HAVE INFORMATION FROM FROM THE STATE ON ON FUNDING THEN AND I THINK THE THE LOBBYIST LAST NIGHT SHARED THAT YOU KNOW, THEY'RE LOOKING AT LATE LATE JANUARY OR FEBRUARY. I THINK SHE SAID BEFORE THEY GET ANYTHING OUT TO THE SCHOOLS . I THAT WITH STUDENTS COMING

BACK FACE TO FACE IN JANUARY. >> TEACHERS ARE VERY SORRY SOCIAL DISTANCING FROM STUDENTS AND THE CLASSES. IF WE USE THAT FORMULA OF A 25 TO ONE, DO WE HAVE SOMEWHAT

ABOVE 45 TEACHER SURPLUS THAT? >> ARE THEY BEING UTILIZED TO HELP DECREASE SOME OF THE CLASS

SIZES? >> WE WILL DO ANY ANYTHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE AVAILABLE OBVIOUSLY TO TRY TO DECREASE THAT, YOU KNOW, ADDITIONAL ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO US THAT WE COULD HANG ON TO. AND STILL BE ABLE TO TO BEAT MEET R. R. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITIES OBVIOUSLY WOULD WOULD HELP LOWER NUMBERS

AND HELP OBVIOUSLY IMPROVE ANY KIND OF DISTANCE. >> SO YES, I KNOW THAT TEACHER STUDENT RATIO, THE LACK OF SUBSTITUTE NEEDS ARE SOME REALLY BIG CONCERNS OF OUR

TEACHERS ESPECIALLY GOING BACK IN JANUARY AND SO GOOD. >> GREAT.

IT'S GREAT TO SEE MAYBE THERE ARE SOME CREATIVE THIS WITH US GETTING SOME OF THESE CLASS

SIZES SMALLER SOCIAL DISTANCING GOING TO BE A PROBLEM. >> YES, MA'AM.

THERE ARE NO FURTHER QUESTIONS. OK, NEXT ITEM IS THE COBURN 19 UPDATE AND I WANT TO BEGIN

[Superintendent’s Report: COVID – 19 “Coronavirus” Update]

THESE FREE MEALS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE US THE A'S EXTENSION OF ITS SUMMER MEALS PROGRAM DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC. I'M HAPPY TO REPORT THAT THESE FREE MEALS WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE OVER THE WINTER BREAK SO WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF COORDINATING WITH SCHOOLS WHICH WILL BE DESIGNATED AS CURBSIDE PICKUP LOCATION.

THIS INFORMATION IS GOING TO BE SHARED WITH OUR FAMILIES ONCE THAT'S FINALIZED AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEALS IS GOING TO BE MADE POSSIBLE OBVIOUSLY BY OUR DEDICATED OPERATIONAL EFFORTS OF OUR FOOD SERVICES PROVIDER SODEXO. THE DISTRICT TRANSPORTATION

[07:35:03]

DEPARTMENT AND SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS AT THIS TIME. >> DR. BRADLEY, WILL YOU TAKE

THE NEXT PHASE FOR. >> THANK YOU, DR. RODRIGUEZ. MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD THIS WEEK'S COVID 19 UPDATE CENTERS ON THREE SEPARATE TOPICS.

FIRST, GOVERNOR MCMASTERS RECENT EXECUTIVE ORDER RELATED TO COVERT TESTING IN SCHOOLS.

SECOND, THE DISTRICT'S INSTRUCTIONAL CONTINUITY PLAN FOR QUARANTINED STUDENTS IN THIRD, ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT THE DISTRICT WILL TAKE AS WE PREPARE TO TRANSITION TO FIVE DAYS FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION. AS YOU KNOW, DURING A COLD NOVEMBER PRESS CONFERENCE, GOVERNOR MCMASTER ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT AUTHORIZED THE TO PROVIDE ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLIC SCHOOLS WITH RAPID ANTIGEN TESTS.

THE ORDER DID NOT ACTUALLY REQUIRE DISTRICTS TO IMPLEMENT A TESTING SYSTEM JUST THAT THEY SHOULD BE SUPPLIED WITH MATERIALS TO DO SO. THE ORDER ALSO DID NOT PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR THE MECHANICS OR EXECUTION OF THE TESTING PROCESS FOR PARTICIPATING DISTRICTS. CONSIDERING THAT BEFORE COUNTY SCHOOLS IS COMMITTED TO EVALUATING EVERY MEASURE THAT MAY KEEP OUR STUDENTS AND STAFF SAFE, WE'VE CONSULTED BROADLY WITH DISTRICT INSIGHT BASED PERSONNEL ON THIS TOPIC. HAVING WEIGHED ALL RELEVANT CONSIDERATIONS, IT IS OUR INTENT TO OPT OUT OF ANTIGEN TESTING AT OUR DISTRICT'S SCHOOLS SITES. THERE ARE MANY FACTORS OUT CONTRIBUTED TO THIS DECISION.

I'LL SHARE A FEW. WE SHOULD BEGIN WITH THE FACT THAT UNDER THE ORDER ONLY SYMPTOMATIC STUDENTS CAN BE TESTED IF STUDENTS HAVE SYMPTOMS THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN SCHOOL ANYWAY. THIS IS THE MESSAGE THAT WE HAVE RELENTLESSLY COMMUNICATED TO FAMILIES STAY AT HOME. IF YOU ARE SICK THE LAST THING THAT WE WANT IS FOR SIX STUDENTS TO COME TO SCHOOL JUST SO THEY CAN BE TESTED BECAUSE IF THEY DO THEY'LL BE PUTTING OTHER STUDENTS AND STAFF MEMBERS UNNECESSARY BARELY AT RISK.

ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE BOTH MANPOWER AND SPACE CHALLENGES. REMEMBER THAT THE TESTS CANNOT BE ADMINISTERED WITHOUT PARENT PERMISSION. IF YOU CAN IMAGINE A SCENARIO WHERE A CHILD EXHIBITS SYMPTOMS IS SUBSEQUENTLY ISOLATED WHILE AWAITING PERMISSION TO TEST TESTS POSITIVE AND IS THEN INHALED AND SUPERVISED UNTIL PICK UP.

THIS CREATES AN UNREASONABLE HARDSHIP AND OPERATIONAL BURDEN ON SCHOOLS TO MANAGE WITH THE LIMITED RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE. IT'S ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT THE ABUNDANCE OF TESTING CENTERS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY MAKES THE NEED TO TEST STUDENTS AT SCHOOL SITES LESS COMPELLING THAN IF TESTING LOCATIONS IN THE COUNTY WERE SCARCE.

I'LL CLOSE BY SAYING THAT IN OUR ATTEMPT TO OPT OUT WE ALIGN OR POTENTIALLY WOULD ALIGN WITH SEVERAL OTHER DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE WHO HAVE CHOSEN A SIMILAR PATH FOR SIMILAR REASONS A PAUSE FOR QUESTIONS DON'T A QUESTION THAT I DO HAVE IN COMMON.

>> ALSO THIS LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE THAT WE ATTENDED VIRTUALLY SAID MEMBERS MENTIONED IN PARTICULAR IS INTERESTING AS ARE STATE SCHOOLS.

WE CAN'T HEAR YOU EXCUSE ME PLEASE. >> OH, I'M SORRY.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE A COMMENT ,NOT A QUESTION. >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> YES, SO AT THOSE AT THE LEGISLATIVE CONFERENCE THAT SEVERAL BOARD MEMBERS ATTENDED LAST WEEK. THAT WAS ALREADY MENTIONED THE STATE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT MOLLY SPIRIT AND SHE MENTION THIS TESTING AND SHE SPECIFICALLY SAID YOU DON'T HAVE TO ACCEPT IT WHICH I THOUGHT WAS INTERESTING THAT YOU MADE MADE ME THINK THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE ALREADY BROUGHT OUT DR. BRADLEY IS SURE IS CRITICAL.

BUT YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO BE TESTING SYMPTOMATIC PEOPLE STUDENTS AND WE DON'T WHAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN THE SCHOOLS THEY'RE SO KEEN ON EXAMPLE IDEA .

>> YEAH, IT ACTUALLY GOES AGAINST ALL OF THE MESSAGING THAT WE'VE THAT WE'VE SHARED

WITH OUR PARENTS AND FAMILIES. >> THERE ARE NO FURTHER ALSO AS WE PREPARE FOR FIVE DAYS OF FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION BEGINNING ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4TH.

THERE IS CLEAR RECOGNITION THAT ON OCCASION SOME STUDENTS WILL NEED TO QUARANTINE AS A DISTRICT WE ARE AWARE OF THIS POSSIBILITY AND ARE TAKING STEPS TO DEVELOP A PROCESS THAT WILL ENSURE CONTINUOUS INSTRUCTION IN LIGHT OF THE COMPLICATIONS THAT MAY RESULT FROM THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC. IN SHORT, OUR GOAL IS TO REDUCE THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING STUDENTS IN INSTRUCTION INTERRUPTED. YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT A COMMITTEE OF SEVEN PRINCIPALS, THREE TEACHERS AND ONE CENTRAL OFFICE ADMINISTRATOR ALL SHEPHERDED BY MYSELF IS CURRENTLY WORKING TO DEVELOP AN INSTRUCTIONAL CONTINUITY PLAN THAT IS EXCLUSIVELY FOCUSED ON MAKING CERTAIN THAT THERE IS NO LOSS OF INSTRUCTION FOR

[07:40:02]

ABOVE ALL, WE ARE PLACING STUDENT NEEDS AT THE CENTER OF THIS EFFORT.

SECOND, WE WANT TO BE PROGRESSIVE AND FORWARD THINKING IN THE PLAN'S DESIGN RECOGNIZING THAT IT MAY PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR HOW WE SUPPORT STUDENT LEARNING FROM HOME PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE LONG TERM ILLNESSES. AND THIRD, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THE PLAN IS PRACTICAL, REASONABLE AND CAPABLE OF BEING FULLY IMPLEMENTED WITH FIDELITY AND CONSISTENTLY ACROSS ALL SCHOOLS. AGAIN, THE PLAN HAS NOT YET BEEN FINALIZED BUT WE FULLY EXPECT IT TO BE BY WEEK'S END. AGAIN, I'LL PAUSE FOR ANY QUESTIONS. A MAY NOT CONTINUE. ALL RIGHT.

I'LL FINISH UP WITH ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT WE WILL TAKE STARTING ON JANUARY 4TH.

SINCE ANNOUNCING OUR RETURN TO FIVE DAYS OF FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION, WE'VE DILIGENTLY REVIEWED INTERNAL SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND EVALUATED OUR READINESS TO WELCOME MORE STUDENTS INTO OUR BUILDINGS AS WE PREPARE FOR THE JANUARY 4TH START.

I WANT TO UPDATE YOU ON A FEW NEW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS THAT WE WILL DEPLOY.

FIRST, RECOGNIZING THAT IN MANY INSTANCES OUR BUS DRIVERS REPRESENT THE FIRST AND LAST CONTACT THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE WITH A DISTRICT EMPLOYEE. I'M PLEASED TO SHARE THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF OUR BUS FLEET WILL NOW HAVE PROTECTIVE PLEXIGLASS BARRIERS INSTALLED EARLY IN THE NEW YEAR. SECONDLY, IN CLASSROOMS ESPECIALLY IN SCHOOLS WHERE SIX FEET OF SOCIAL DISTANCING WILL BE DIFFICULT TO HONOR, WE WILL HAVE A SUPPLY OF PROTECTIVE DESK BARRIERS AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS. I'LL LET MR. ORTIZ SHARE ADDITIONAL DETAILS ABOUT BOTH OF THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. AS FAR AS THE BARRIERS GO BEING PLANNED FOR DIFFERENT STYLES AND BARRIERS AND ALLOWING THE SCHOOLS TO DECIDE HOW EACH STYLE TO USE AND I JUST SAY THAT WE HAVE MORE BARRIERS STUDENTS.

>> SO WE HAVE PLENTY OF BARRIERS. DISTRICT OH THE WORLD WORKS VERY WELL. STUDENTS CARRY IT WITH THEM. ACTUALLY IN SOME IN ONE SCHOOL I KNOW THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE DOING. YOU'RE ASSIGNING THEM STUDENTS BUT MOST OF THEM WILL SIT ON A DESK. SO THE FOUR TYPES WE HAVE A SINGLE BARRIER THAT IS DIVIDED DESKS BETWEEN STUDENTS. WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL CLASS INFERIOR WHICH IS ACTUALLY MAKES AN X THAT COULD GO ROUNDTABLES IS WHERE THEY'RE PRIMARILY USED. AND THEN WE HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRIBAL AREAS WHERE IT HAS THREE LEGS SET ON A DESK OR A TABLE. WE HAVE A LARGER ONE AND A SMALLER ONE. SO THOSE ARE THE THREE OPTIONS. STATE REALLY HAS PROVIDED FOR YOU THOSE THAT WE PURCHASED IN ALL FOUR HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY FOR USE.

>> I'M SURE THAT KUZMA RIBAUT QUESTIONS. >> HOW DID YOU FINISH? OH THIS IS REGULAR. COME ON SAID ABOUT THAT RIGHT? NO.

SO WE'LL RESPOND. ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE? YEAH.

>> I MEAN WHAT? YOU KNOW WHAT OTHER SAFETY CALL CALL YOU PUTTING IN PLACE OTHER THAN WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY? IF YOU I SUPPOSE YOUR JOB IS DOUBLING THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS RIGHT ON THE BUSES. A STEP BE POSSIBLE WITH THE SEEDINGS WE ARE.

ARE WE ALL MADE AWARE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING IN TERMS OF THAT? >> CAN WE SAY BASED BUS THAT THE SIX FEET PROTOCOL MISS RIDING AHEAD? NO, YOU GO AHEAD.

SO WHAT HAS BEEN SAID FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS THAT THIS COULD BE UP TO 70 PERCENT CAPACITY AND THAT IS WHAT WE PLAN TO FOLLOW THAT GUIDANCE. THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT EVERYBODY WILL BE SIX FEET APART. BUT THEY WILL BE SPACED AS MUCH

AS POSSIBLE. >> ALL RIGHT. WITH THOSE NUMBERS GOING IT UP, PANDEMIC NUMBERS GOING UP TO ASTRONOMICALLY 21 PERCENT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, I WOULD SAY YOU KNOW WHAT? WHAT IS THE PLACE IN TERMS OF WHEN WE PULL BACK OUT OF THE SPEED BASE? WELL, THAT'S I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHEN WE'RE

[07:45:02]

AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE INFECTION WITHIN THE SCHOOLS AND THAT'S WHERE I THINK THE FOCUS NEEDS TO BE WE'RE SEEING LESS THAN 1 PERCENT WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAVE GONE FIVE DAYS A WEEK IN HIGH SPREAD AREAS SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR ARE

SEEING LESS THAN 1 PERCENT AS WELL. >> AND SO SO THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS IN THE SCHOOL DOES NOT MATTER WHAT BUT WHAT THE COMMUNITY WIDE SPREAD SEEMS TO BE IN ANY OF THOSE DISTRICTS WITH HIGH SPREAD AREAS. AND CERTAINLY WE'RE NOT SEEING IT IN OUR DISTRICT. OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW THAT WE TOOK A VERY CAUTIOUS APPROACH TO THE START OF THE YEAR AND WE TRANSITION FROM ONE STEP TO ANOTHER STEP INTO THE NEXT STEP. AND AND SO AS AS AS WE'VE DONE THAT, WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO ACQUIRE DATA THAT WAS NOT AVAILABLE IN AUGUST DATA ON HOW OTHER SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE ARE SEEING THE SPREAD OF THE VIRUS WITHIN WITHIN THEIR SCHOOLS.

>> AND SO WE'RE JUST NOT SEEING IT THERE IN OUR SCHOOLS AT THE MOMENT.

AND AND CERTAINLY CERTAINLY NOT THERE IN THE OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT HAVE GONE FIVE DAYS A WEEK SINCE THE BEGINNING IN HIGH SPREAD AREAS WORTH THEIR HANDS UP.

>> I THINK THAT YOU CAPPY RIBAUT. YES, I HAVE A FOLLOW UP.

>> I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS ONE TO FOLLOW UP ON MEL'S QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BUS SO D X 70 PERCENT CAPACITY NOW THAT WE'RE GOING YOU KNOW, FULL FACE TO FACE, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO DOUBLE UP SOME BUS ROUTES BECAUSE I I CAN IMAGINE BUSES BEING FULL AT 100 PERCENT WHEN WE UNLESS THINGS ARE MUCH DIFFERENT HERE THAN THEY WERE IN DISTRICTS WORKED IN BY BUSES WERE ALWAYS PACKED. SO MY QUESTION IS HEAVILY TAKING THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND MADE PLANS ARE WE HAVE WE BEEN PROACTIVE TO PLAN FOR SOME ADDITIONAL BUSES EN ROUTE THAT WILL WE WON'T BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE EVEN AT 70 PERCENT? THAT'S MY FIRST QUESTION. SO TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT.

EVEN FREE ECOFIN. HAD RELATIVES THAT WERE DOUBLE RIBAUT AS WE GO TO FIVE DAYS A WEEK WE STILL HAVE RELATIVES THAT ARE DOUBLE AROUND OUR ROOTS GOING TO BE SAID AT THAT 70 PERCENT CUT MP NPR COMMUNICATING TO THE SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE AWARE OF THOSE THAT HAD DOUBLE MORALITY TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE PREPARED FOR THAT.

SO YES, YOU WILL HAVE NO OUTS. >> OKAY. AND THEN MY SECOND QUESTION IS HOW ARE WE PREPARED WITH SUBSTITUTES? I DO ANTICIPATE A.

BASED ON EVERYTHING I'VE READ NATIONALLY AND CLOSE TO THE AREA, YOU KNOW THAT THAT TEACHERS FREQUENTLY ARE UNHAPPY WITH RETURNING FULL FACE TO FACE AND ARE CALLING IN SICK.

MISS WALTON. MR. O'BRIEN, YOUR QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE ENOUGH SUBSTITUTES TO COVER ? YEAH, WE HAVE. ARE WE PLANNING FOR.

YES. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? I GUESS THIS IS MY QUESTION.

IF WE ARE PLANNING WE ARE PLANNING WE ARE STRUGGLING SOURCE FOR TEACHERS IS STRUGGLING. IT'S A PROBLEM ACROSS THE COUNTRY LIKE TEACHERS SUBSTITUTES ARE LEERY ABOUT GOING BACK IN THE CLASSROOM AS WELL.

SO WHEN WE HAD A POOL WE END AT SCHOOL LAST YEAR WE HAD A POOL OF FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX SUBS LAST WITHIN THE LAST TWO WEEKS THAT HAS GONE DOWN TO FOUR HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX.

WE HAD HOPED THAT WE COULD PAIR WITH ESFS THIS ARM IN SAVANNAH SAYS THEY WEREN'T USING AS MANY SUBS AS WE WERE. AND THEY HAVE MORE SUBS. WE COULDN'T DO THAT BECAUSE THEIR SUBS ARE NOT TRAINED AS WELL AS OUR SUBS AND THAT SYSTEM DOESN'T REQUIRE THE KINDS TRAININGS AND QUALIFICATIONS THAT WE DO FOR OURSELVES.

SO WE COULDN'T SWITCH OUT WITH THAT. WE WERE HOPING THAT THAT WAS GOING TO WORK. BUT WE HAVE OFFERED EXTRA INCENTIVES.

THEY HAVE BEGUN TO ADVERTISE IN A RIOT A WIDER RANGE OF AREA TO TRY TO GET SUBS.

[07:50:04]

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE SOMETIMES DONE WHEN WHEN THERE ARE BIG SHORTAGES OF SUBSTITUTES. SO I'M JUST HOPEFUL THAT WE SUPPORT OUR OUR BUILDINGS THE BEST THAT WE CAN TO TO HELP THEM WITH THOSE ISSUES.

>> WELL, WE ARE. WE ACTIVELY. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, ACTIVELY TRIED TO ADD MORE INCENTIVES TO BRING SUBS IN. WE'VE RAISED THE PAY AND WE COULD DO THAT WITH THE CARES FUNDING SO THAT WE COULD BRING DE SUBS IN.

WE SET ASIDE PERMANENT BILL BUILDING SUBS FOR EVERY BUILDING AND WE STILL HAVE NOT 100 PERCENT FILL THAT NOW EVERY BUILDING HAS AT LEAST ONE PERMANENT SUB IN THE BUILDING.

BUT THEY ALL DON'T HAVE TO. SO WE ARE STILL WORKING ON THAT AS WELL.

SO WE'RE DOING WHAT WE CAN TO SUPPORT EACH BUILDING. THIS IS NOT JUST TO GO BACK TO THAT THAT WE JUST CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT'S THE PROCESS WITH DOM ACCOMMODATING TEACHERS WHO THAT WILL WITH THAT ARE OUR OWN ACCOMMODATIONS RIGHT NOW THAT HAVE TO TURN ON JANUARY 4TH.

>> COULD YOU TELL ME WHAT'S THE PROCESS TO THAT AND HOW WE DEAL WITH THAT, MISS WALTER?

>> MRS. MAC, WE HAVE CHANGED THE PROCESS THAT WE BEGAN WITH AND ALLOW THOSE TEACHERS TO GO OUT ON IS STILL IN PLACE. THEY REQUEST WITHIN OUR PROCESS.

YES. >> I'M GETTING READY TO DO THAT.

THEY APPLY FOR THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS. WE ASK THEM TO GIVE US SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AS TO WHY THEY NEED THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS. AND THAT SHOULD COME FROM A MEDICAL PROVIDER IF WE GET ALL OF THOSE DOCUMENTS IN PLACE, THEN WE PLACE THEM WE PLACE

THEM ON THE ACCOMMODATIONS. >> SO THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT IT WHAT IT IS.

IF IF YOU WALKED INTO A BUILDING AS A TEACHER AND SAID I CAN'T BE IN THE BUILDING BECAUSE I HAVE ASTHMA, WE'RE JUST GOING TO REQUEST THAT YOU HAVE YOUR MEDICAL PROVIDERS LET US KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ASTHMA AND WE TRY TO ACCOMMODATE YOU. NEVILLE, LET'S ADD A LITTLE

MORE IN THERE. >> WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU HAVE ONE? DO YOU HAVE YOU HAVE SEVERAL TEACHERS WITH THAT ACCOMMODATION THEN ARE YOU FRANKLY HAVING TOO MUCH TOO MUCH TEACHERS WITH THE WITH DOCTORS?

>> NO. WOULD ACCOMMODATIONS THEN THEN WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS FOR

THAT? >> WELL, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THE LAW SAYS IN TERMS OF ACCOMMODATIONS, ACCOMMODATIONS AS DEFINED BY THE LAW SAYS AN EMPLOYER CAN OFFER SPECIAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EMPLOYEES AS LONG AS THERE'S A NEED FOR THAT SPECIAL ACCOMMODATION. THE BUILDING AND THAT ACCOMMODATION CAN NOT BE ANY EXCESS UNDUE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP FOR THE DISTRICT. SO IF WE HAVE TEACHERS IN A BUILDING AND THIS IS JUST HYPOTHETICAL AND YOU HAD 20 TEACHERS IN A BUILDING AND ALL 20 TEACHERS WANTED TO BE ON AN ACCOMMODATION THEN WE AT THAT POINT CAN SAY WE CANNOT OFFER THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS BECAUSE WE CANNOT RUN SCHOOL WITHOUT TEACHERS AND WE WILL BE WELL WITHIN OUR RIGHTS TO DO. BUT WHAT WE HAVE DONE AS A DISTRICT IS TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR OUR TEACHERS TO GET ACCOMMODATIONS SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

SO WHEN WE BRING EVERYBODY BACK FACE TO FACE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE WILL LOOK AT IS CAN WE DO THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS IN THIS BUILDING? A TEACHER MIGHT HAVE TO GO TO A ANOTHER BUILDING BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED THAT SERVICE IN A PARTICULAR BILL.

>> SO NOW IF IF THEY OR IF THEY IF THERE WERE 20 TEACHERS WHO HAD IT, THEN WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS TO FIND OUT WHO WOULD YOU WOULD GO WITH? NO, YOU WOULD NOT GO WITH OR THERE'D BE A PROCESS IN TERMS OF ELIMINATING SOMEONE, NOT GIVING IT TO SOMEONE VERSUS

[07:55:04]

PROCESS WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE SEVERITY OF THE NEED. >> OKAY.

OKAY. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU.

I'LL ALSO I WILL READERS CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR THE 70 PERCENT IF THE BUSES GET FULL? WHAT'S THE PROCESS AND HOW WILL THE BUS DRIVER KNOW THAT IS 70 PERCENT? WHAT'S THE PROCESS WITH DEALING WITH THAT, MR. IONIC?

>> YES, WE MAKE SURE MY IMMEDIATE SO YES. ALL BUSES WILL HAVE SEATING

CHARTS SO AWFUL RIDERS HAVE ASSIGNED ON THE BUS. >> AND THEN IF THEY DISCOVER ON THEIR ROUTE THEY'RE THEY'RE GOING TO EXCEED THEIR 70 PERCENT THEY WOULD CALL BACK TO DISPATCH AND ANOTHER BUS WOULD BE SENT TO CONTINUE TO PICK UP THAT RIBAUT.

>> THANK YOU. >> ALSO, DR. REGAS. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS I HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT THE 1 PERCENT. YOU KNOW, THAT DOES CONCERN ME

AS A AS A AS A BOARD MEMBER THAT YES. >> IN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.

NOT HAPPENING BUT I I HOPE THAT WE'RE NOT WAITING ON SOMETHING TO HAPPEN OR TO GET THE YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING TO BE VERY THE 1 PERCENT IS MAYBE AND WAS OUT OF THIS.

>> I MEAN I HAVEN'T BUT YOU KNOW WE DO. I KNOW ANOTHER DISTRICT AND SO GLAD I COULD HAVE SAID THAT WE'RE WHERE I BELIEVE WHERE WE'RE AT WHERE A TEACHER PASSED AND I DON'T WANT US TO GET ON TELEVISION ON ONE PERCENT. THAT IS A CONCERN FOR ME, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE COUNTY HAS BEEN KNOWN AS HIGH RIGHT NOW. SO YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF WHO ARE WALKING AROUND WITH THIS. WELL, WE'VE COVID 19 JUST CARRIERS AND THEY'RE NOT GETTING TESTED. THEY DON'T HAVE SYMPTOMS AND THEY WILL BE INFECTING OTHER PEOPLE. SO IF WE GO THAT ONE PERCENT AS IT EXPLAINED THAT EXCELLENT EXPLANATION, THEN WHAT ABOUT THE WHAT ABOUT THAT THAT PERSON IS WALKING AROUND THAT'S A CARRIER THAT HAS NO IDEA. YOU KNOW, HE EVEN EVEN OF THE TERMS OF NOT TESTING I MEAN THAT SOME PATIENT WHEN THE KIDS GET TESTED I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT YOU KNOW, THESE ARE SOME THINGS THAT THAT DO CONCERN ME. WITH THE WITH THE NOTION OF WISHING 1 PERCENT WELL BEFORE I EVEN GO ON MY SCIENCE FOR FOR THIS LONG NOW WE'RE SAYING THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT ONE CAUSE WHILE ABOUT ONLY 1 PERCENT THAT 1 PERCENT IS THAT 2 CAN BE ENOUGH TO KILL SOMEONE. SO THAT CONCERNS ME AND YOU

KNOW WE'RE SET ABOUT BUILDING TO BUILDING. >> ALSO HOW ARE WE TELLING

PARENTS ABOUT THAT? >> I MISSED THE LAST PART. HOW ARE WE? WHY SHOULD WE LEAVE THE FIRST QUESTION I ASSUME THE SECOND QUESTION.

>> BUT GOD IT. TO ELABORATE ON THE 1 PERCENT AND AND TO ELABORATE MORE WITH WHAT THE POOR. WELL, WHAT'S THE PROCESS OF DIGESTING THE 1 PERCENT? WELL, WHY WOULD WAS WAS THE DRIVING FORCE OF THE PROCESS OF THE 1 PERCENT? OH I'M SAYING IT'S NOT A DRIVING FORCE ABOUT A 1 PERCENT OR NOT ALL.

WHAT I'M SIMPLY STATING IS THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS EVEN IN LARGE EVEN IN HIGH SPREAD AREAS OR COMMUNITIES. RIGHT. ARE NOT SEEING THAT THAT THAT'S SPREAD IN IN THEIR SCHOOLS. RIGHT. IN THE SCHOOL BUILDINGS THEY'RE SEEING LESS THAN 1 PERCENT AND AND ALL I'M SAYING IS WE'RE SEEING THE THE SAME WE'RE HAVING THE SAME EXPERIENCE HERE. RIGHT.

THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING. IT'S NOT ABOUT WHETHER YOU KNOW ,1 PERCENT IS A MAGIC NUMBER

OR NOT. >> I MEAN SAYING IT'S RELATIVELY LOW SPREAD WITHIN THE BUILDINGS. THAT'S THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING ABOUT THAT.

>> OK. SO I SAID. SO WHAT WHAT WHAT WOULD BE THE PROCESS THAT IF WE HAVE TO SHUT DOWN WHAT WOULD BE THE FACTORING? WILL IT BE A 2 PERCENT? WHAT WILL BE THE PROCESS IN FIGURING OUT?

WELL WE WOULD WORK WITH D HECK ON THAT. >> AND THAT'S THE FIRST THING.

AND THE SECOND THING IS WE. WE MAY HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN A CLASSROOM, RIGHT.

WE MAY HAVE WE MAY HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN A GRADE LEVEL. RIGHT.

WE MAY HAVE TO CLOSE THE SCHOOL DOWN FOR TWO WEEKS. RIGHT.

I MEAN I'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR ABOUT THAT. I NEVER NEVER SAID ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT. RIGHT. THAT'S THAT'S PART OF WHAT YOU'RE DEALING WITH WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH A PANDEMIC AND TRYING TO OPERATE OPERATE SCHOOLS AT THE SAME TIME. YOU KNOW, SO. SO THOSE THOSE ARE THE

[08:00:03]

WE MAY HAVE TO SHUT IT DOWN. BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU? BUT YOU SAID THAT WE'RE GOING TO DEAL WITH THESE OTHER AREAS BUT THESE KODIAK IS ALREADY SPOKEN HAS TOLD US THAT THIS

AREA IS THAT IS MARK TAI. >> SO I MEAN TO WHAT DEGREE? WELL, I WAS I'M DOWN TO WHAT'S THE PROCESS OF DEALING WITH THE HEAD AND WHAT'S I LIKE YOU KNOW, CLOSING DOWN OUR CLASSROOM. SOME PEOPLE MAY SAY WELL THOSE KIDS ARE STILL WAS IN THAT BUILDING THAT ENDED A BRIEF WHICH STILL WENT TO THAT SAME AIR THAT YOU CALLED ON EQUALED ON A BUILDING. THE AIR THAT THOSE KIDS MAY HAVE BEEN THAT BAD HAS BEEN TOXIC OR SOMEONE WALKING AROUND A STEEL SPIT. OH, THEY STILL HAVE THAT BREATHED THAT AIR AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE COME BEHIND AND THEY'RE BREATHING THAT SAME AIR. SO THE CLASSROOM THAT'S A GRAY AREA.

>> YEAH. HANK AND AND I BELIEVE THE HECK AND THE CDC HAD BOTH SAID THAT THEY'RE IN FAVOR OF OPENING SCHOOLS. I THINK THEY BOTH HAVE SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, TO TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT STEPS LIKE WEARING MASKS.

YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THOSE HIGH SPREAD AREAS WITH LESS THAN 1 PERCENT INFECTION RATE IN THEIR SCHOOLS AND DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS AROUND WHETHER OR WHETHER THEY HAVE MASS OR THEY DON'T HAVE MASKS. WE HAVE THE REQUIREMENT OF WEARING MASKS WITHIN OUR BUILDINGS. ADDITIONALLY, I THINK THE OTHER PIECE IS YOU KNOW, WE ALSO WE'RE PUTTING THESE OTHER MEASURES WITH THE BARRIERS WE WE HAVE THE TEMPERATURE CHECKS THAT ARE ALSO TAKING PLACE. SO WE HAVE MEASURES THAT WE, YOU KNOW, ARE PUTTING IN PLACE TO TRY TO MITIGATE ANY OF THAT. BUT BUT ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, A LITTLE WORD WOULD BE HACKED AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH D HECK AS WE'VE DONE SO THAT IF THEY SAY YOU KNOW WHAT THIS PARTICULAR CLASSROOM HAS, YOU KNOW, THREE CASES OR TWO CASES ,WHATEVER THEY SAY AND THEY THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED TO PROBABLY SHUT THAT CLASSROOM DOWN THAT THAT WE WOULD DO IT. I MEAN I WAS YOU KNOW, I WAS TO THEM I'LL KEEP SOME MORE QUESTIONS BUT YOU KNOW, I'M. IT JUST AS A REAL CONCERN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE ME MYSELF I'M HERE WE HAVE UNDERLYING CONDITIONS AND YOU KNOW, THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY I'M NOT THERE. BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST IT'S JUST A REAL CONCERN.

AND AS YOU CAN GET A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ABOUT WHETHER WHAT DOES BEING HI, HOW ARE WE GOING BACK? YOU KNOW, PEOPLE HAVE PEOPLE QUESTION ME LIKE WELL, WHAT ARE THE. WHAT WAS THE PROCESS AND HOW DO WE GET FROM NOT GOING TO GOING? SO I'M REALLY JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT AND IF FORGOT TO ASK PEOPLE YOU KNOW, MY DECISION WHAT WHEN AND WHEN I'M ASKED AND FACED WITH THESE QUESTIONS AND I DON'T HAVE TO SAY THAT OR REASSURED I'LL TAKE THIS QUESTION THAT I CAN. YOU KNOW THAT THAT THAT'S THAT'S PART OF WHY I'M TRYING TO DIG IN. DID YOU HAVE YOUR BRAIN?

>> THAT'S ALL I'M DOING. SO YOU MR. SMITH, YOU'VE ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

ARE THERE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVEN'T ASKED ANY SPLIT RIGHT DOWN TO YOU?

>> RIGHT. BUT THAT'S WHY I WAS TELLING THEM I WAS JUST TELLING THEM THAT THE PRICES OF MY QUESTION AND THAT'S NOT TELLING THEM I WAS WELL LET SOMEONE ELSE ANSWER SOME QUESTIONS BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE THE SAME QUESTIONS I HAVE.

>> MR. SMITH, I UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND YOUR REASONING REASONINGS AND YOUR QUESTION IS

THIS LIKE I UNDERSTAND THINKING THAT. >> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. I HAVE TWO QUICK QUESTIONS. >> NUMBER ONE.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF OUR CHILDREN ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO IN A VIRTUAL MODE DISTRICT WIDE? YES. I BELIEVE WE'RE IN. I'M SORRY.

DID YOU SAY VIRTUAL MODE? YES. I BELIEVE THAT NUMBER IS AT 30 TO 35 PERCENT RIGHT NOW. THAT THAT WAS THE THAT'S THE NUMBER AFTER PARENTS CHOSE

DURING THAT WINDOW. >> THANK YOU. AND HAS THERE BEEN ANY TALK ABOUT PRIORITIZING ASIAN TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF FOR THE VACCINE WHEN IT BECOMES

AVAILABLE? >> I HAVE NOT HEARD A LOT ABOUT THAT.

THE ONLY THING I SAW WAS SOMETHING IN THE NEWS AND IT WAS ON NATIONAL NEWS NOT NOT LOCAL NEWS THAT THAT SAID THAT THEY WERE LOOKING AT THE THE POSSIBILITY OF INCLUDING TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS IN THAT IN SOME OF THE EARLY ROUNDS WHENEVER THEY BECAME AVAILABLE AGAIN. THAT WAS SOMETHING I SAW ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.

I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING ON A LOCAL RIBAUT. >> OK.

ANOTHER ITEM WHEN IT WHEN A SPORTS THEY ARE ALL INSIDE THE MOST MUSLIM INSIDE OF BUILDINGS

[08:05:11]

NOT. SEE A GAME. I MEAN THEY'RE NOT STUDENTS.

SO WE'VE GOT REPRESENTS LOOTERS AND THAT WOULD BE GOOD. IT DOESN'T INVOLVE MUCH LARGER VIOLENCE. A MAN VULNERABLE NOW AND NOW. ARE WE MAKING SURE THAT THE SPACE THING IS PROPER WHEN PEOPLE ARE THAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.

>> NOT THAT I I DON'T KNOW WHETHER YOU OR NOT IS WHY I BRING THAT HIGHLIGHT.

ONE ONE OF ONE OF THE INJURIES. BUT MR. CAMPBELL, ONE OF THE THINGS I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT MATTER OF FACT JUST TODAY I ALSO HAD A WE WERE ON A CONVERSATION WITH OUR PRINCIPLES WHERE I STRESSED ONCE AGAIN THE SIGNIFICANCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF WITHIN THOSE TO FOLLOW THE PROTOCOLS WITHIN ARE ANY ATHLETIC FACILITY OR ATHLETIC VENUE.

THE THE SOUTH CAROLINA HIGH SCHOOL, THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS WELL MASKING WITHIN OUR BUILDINGS BECAUSE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE THAT THAT WE WOULD REQUIRE.

SO WE HAVE STRESSED THAT AGAINST AGAIN WITH OUR PRINCIPALS.

MR. HARDING, ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO ADD ON THAT? I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY YOU

CHANGE YOUR QUESTION. >> YES. WE ARE REQUIRING SPACING AND SEATING. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE USE THIS TIME WE'VE BEEN HYBRID KIND OF TO GET OUR PRACTICES IN PLACE. WE MOVED TO ALL ONLINE TICKETING SO WE'RE NOT EXCHANGING MONEY OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

WE REALLY LOOK HOW WE ARE BRINGING PEOPLE IN AND OUT SO THAT WE'RE LIMITING THAT PEOPLE AS THEY ENTER SPACING IS THERE IN THE STAND. WE HAVE A FORM FORMULA FOR XY TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO SPACE PEOPLE OR CONCESSIONS ARE EXTREMELY LIMITED IF THEY'RE THERE AT ALL AND THEY HAVE TO BE AT FREE PACKAGE TYPE ITEMS. SO ALL THOSE THIS HYBRID MODEL HAS DONE ONE TOUR AND IT'S ALREADY GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET THESE THINGS IN PLACE.

WE'LL CONTINUE THOSE DEFINITELY AS WE GET INTO WINTER SPORTS. SO YOU DO HAVE A LIMITED NUMBER OF TICKETS. SO YES. BUT THE CAPACITY TO GET BUT TO YOUR POINT, MR. CAMPBELL, YOU KNOW IT IS SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES CONSTANT MONITORING AND CHECKING RIGHT. SO YOU KNOW, I DEFINITELY MR. CAMPBELL I WOULD JUST SAY THAT I HAVE ATTENDED SEVERAL BASKETBALL GAMES AND LET'S SEE SOME MORE.

VINCENT, YOU CANNOT SIT AND ANNOUNCE ALSO THROUGHOUT THE GAME.

REMIND EVERYONE THAT TO WHEN IT'S THAT SIMPLE IT'S ONLY THE BOTTOM LINE WITH ALL.

>> WITH EVERYTHING EVERYTHING CURRENTLY AND MOVING FORWARD IS THAT WE ALSO NEED TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SUPPORT AND THE ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OF OUR PARENTS IN OUR COMMUNITY AS AS WE GO AND TRY TO TRY TO TRY TO FOLLOW THE PROTOCOLS. YOU KNOW, I MEAN EVEN IF IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT MAYBEEE WIT WE'RE JUST ASKING THAT THAT YOU KNOW, WE ADHERE TO THESE PROTOCOLS BECAUSE OF WHAT WE WANT TO DO AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS IT MAY BE, WHAT WE DO WANT TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN STAY OPEN, THAT WE CAN STAY AND AND AND CONTINUE TO PROGRESS AND MOVE FORWARD AND RETHINK THE PARTNERSHIP IS IMPORTANT IN SCHOOL AND HOME.

PARENT AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS ARE ALWAYS IMPORTANT.

THERE'S THINGS WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT IN EDUCATION AND IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC.

YOU KNOW, IT IS EVEN MORE SO SIGNIFICANT AND IMPORTANT TO HAVE THAT THAT PARTNERSHIP SO

RABBI KATHY SORRY I DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING. >> I THINK I GOT TO TAKE IT DOWN OR SOMEONE ELSE ALREADY ASKED WHAT I CAN ASK. SORRY, MR. JENSEN WAS THE PROCESS WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH NURSES POWER, HOW ARE THEY INVOLVED IN THE

[08:10:03]

PROCESS IN THE BUILDINGS? >> YES, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

MISS WALTON, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE THAT? >> MR. SMITH, THE NURSES ARE ASIDE FROM DOING IT REGULAR DUTIES WITH TAKING CARE OF KIDS ON A DAILY BASIS WHEN AN INCIDENT OF COLBERT TAKES PLACE THEN THEY'RE CHARGED WITH. NOW ON TOP OF THEIR REGULAR DUTIES MANNING TWO STATIONS A SICK ROOM AND THEIR NURSE'S ROOM BECAUSE OF THE CHILD COMES IN SICK AND THERE IS A SUSPECT THAT HE MIGHT BE THE CHILD MIGHT BE INFECTED CALL IT THAT HAS TO BE SEPARATED FROM FROM THE OTHER CHILDREN. PLUS THEY DO A LOT OF WORK WITH CONTRACT TRACING AND IT'S IT'S IT'S A LOT ON THEM BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE TWO JOBS INSTEAD OF ONE REALLY BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY ACTIVE IN GETTING THE KIDS CALLING PARENTS AND DOING THE

CONTRACT TRACING WITH COPING. >> ONE OF THE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT MISS WALTON IS LOOKING AT DOING IS TO SEE IF WE CAN BRING ON A COUPLE OF ADDITIONAL NURSES AT LEAST IN ORDER TO HAVE AS ROVERS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO SEND TO PARTICULAR SCHOOLS OR SITES TO HELP WITH CONTACT TRACING OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE SOME OF THE YOU KNOW, THE THINGS THAT THEY'RE HAVING TO DO EXTRA DUTIES. THEIR EXTRA DUTIES.

YEAH. SO SO THAT'S IMPORTANT. SO ONE DAY THANKS MR SMITH IS ALONG WITH OUR LEAD NURSE THAT'S IN THE DISTRICT OFFICE AND JENNIFER STATE AND OUR RISK MANAGER. THEY ARE THE MAJOR RECORD KEEPERS OF OUR WAREHOUSE FOR KOLBERT INFECTIOUS AND SPREADS AND AND VIEWING AND MAKING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR QUARANTINE.

THAT'S A LOT OF WORK AND IT'S TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR NORMAL DAY TO DAY DUTIES.

SO THAT EXTRA PLUS EXTRA PEOPLE WE'RE LOOKING AT WE WANT TO BRING ON AS KOLBERT NURSES OR AS KOLBERT CONTRACT TRACERS TO HELP US KEEP UP WITH THE CASES WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THAT'S THAT'S A LOT OF WORK. WE HAVE HABITAT HUSBAND OUT THERE NOW AND WE'RE GOING THROUGH APPLICANTS TO TRY TO BRING SOMEONE ON BOARD TO HELP US WORK THROUGH ALL THOSE EXTRA THINGS THAT'S BEEN PUT ON THE PLATE NOW BECAUSE OF CULVERT AND THOSE POSITIONS ARE COVERED UNDER THE THE PEOPLE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MONEY THE COVID 19, CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT. OK. OK.

>> AND THEN THAT'S ALSO YOU I KNOW UNDER THE ARM WHEN WE WHEN WE FIND THAT STUDENTS HAVE COVERED HOW. HOW ARE WE? HOW ARE WE PASSING MORE DOWN

THROUGH THE BUILDING TO LET THE OUR STAFF KNOW? >> SO THERE'S A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT'S YOU KNOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF OF THINGS THAT OCCUR.

SO ONE, THERE IS A SCHOOL WIDE LETTER THAT GOES THAT GOES OUT OKAY.

NUMBER TWO, THE CLASS THAT WHERE THE INDIVIDUAL, YOU KNOW, MAY HAVE MAY HAVE BEEN POSITIVE OR WHATEVER THAT THAT WAS IN THE CLASS. I WAS POSITIVE THAT THAT CLASS WOULD RECEIVE US ANOTHER LETTER THAT WOULD INDICATE THAT THAT THERE WAS AN INDIVIDUAL RIGHT.

AND THEN AND THEN IN ADDITION ANYBODY WHO WAS QUARANTINED AS A RESULT OF THAT POSITIVE CASE . RIGHT. THEY RECEIVE A SPECIFIC LETTER AND THEY ARE ALSO PERSONALLY NOTIFIED THE FAMILIES AS WELL. MISS MISS CANDICE TODAY DID I MISS ANYTHING ON THAT? NO. I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GO.

THANK YOU. OK. AND I SAW BASAL WHEN I WAS ASKED ABOUT THE PROCESS BECAUSE WHAT I JUST DON'T WHAT? OK.

OK, WELL LET ME ASK IS BETTER YET LET'S SAY FOR INSTANCE LITTLE JOHNNY COMES IN A BUILDING IN HELLO JOHNNY HAS COVERED AND HE MAY BE IN THIRD GRADE BUT THAT MORNING HE MAY HAVE WALKED THROUGH THE HALL AND MAYBE WE GAVE UP MAYBE EVEN YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU JUST MAY BE LITTLE JOHNNY IS THIRD THIRD GRADE TEACHER AND HE'S SO USED TO HUGGING ME EVERY NIGHT AND WE GO WE SHALL WE. WITH GABBY AND I YOU KNOW WE BOTH.

HOW WOULD A TEACHER IN THE BUILDING KNOW IF THAT KID'S NOT IN THEIR CLASS WHO HAS IT?

[08:15:01]

>> ONE ONE THING I THINK IS IMPORTANT IS JUST TO REMEMBER THAT WHAT DEAC CALLS A CLOSE CONTACT THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED TO QUARANTINE IS SOMEBODY WHO HAS BEEN BROKEN THE SIX FOOT BARRIER WITH AN INDIVIDUAL WHO IS POSITIVE FOR 15 MINUTES, NOT CONSECUTIVE MINUTES BUT TOTAL MINUTES. RIGHT. OK.

SO SO YOU KNOW, JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA, WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS, YOU KNOW, FIVE MINUTES IN THE MORNING, FIVE MINUTES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY IN FIVE MINUTES AT THE END OF THE DAY THAT'S A TOTAL OF 15 MINUTES AND THAT PERSON WOULD BE CONSIDERED CLOSE CONTACT.

IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE 15 CONTINUOUS, OK. SO OK.

SO THOSE PEOPLE ARE NOTIFIED WHEN THAT'S THE GOTCHA. >> MY LAST QUESTION IS WHAT WHAT WAS THE WHAT WHAT ARE WE LOOKING TO DO AS A DISTRICT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE POSSIBLY WORKING AND WORKING FOR THE DISTRICT IN THE AND THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE TO MFL TO FMLA DAYS THEY COME BACK TO US. ARE THEY COMING TO US TO SAY THAT THEY ARE READY? I REMEMBER MFL EIGHT DAYS I WAS ALWAYS TRYING TO HELP THEM GET I MEAN I WAS TRYING TO HELP THEM STAY EMPLOYED. RIGHT NOW DO THIS PANDEMIC BECAUSE JOBS ARE SCARCE AND PEOPLE ARE FINDING IT HARD TO HAVE JOBS OR WE JUST SAY YOUR TIME HAS RUN OUT.

COULD YOU WHAT WE DID OUR PROCESS ON HOW WE OR HOW WE'RE DEALING WITH THAT AS WELL.

MR. SMITH, ARE YOU ASKING WHEN YOU SAY WE'RE CLOSE TO THE DISTRICT, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT CONTRACTORS OUTSIDE CONTRACTORS OR ARE YOU TALKING TO OUR EMPLOYEES? ARE OUR EMPLOYEES OK? SO WHEN WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO IS ON FMLA AND THEY GO THEY HAVE LEGALLY THEY HAVE 60 DAYS THE DISTRICT CAN GRANT ANOTHER 30 DAYS IF NECESSARY.

WE ALMOST ALWAYS GRANT AN EXTRA 30 DAYS IF THEY NEED THEM. SO IF AFTER 90 DAYS THEY COME BACK TO WORK IT IS WE ARE OBLIGATED TO FIND A PLACE FOR THEM TO GO.

IT MIGHT BE IT'S SAY THEY ARE IN ONE SCHOOL AND WE NEED IT TO IN THAT 90 DAYS HIRE SOMEONE ELSE TO PUT AN ACQUISITION BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO BE COVERED .

THEN THE LAW SAYS WE NEED TO FIND THEM A PLACE THAT'S COMPARABLE TO WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THEY LEFT. SO WE WILL FIND THEM ANOTHER POSITION IN ANOTHER SCHOOL.

THE ONLY TIME THEY CAN'T COME BACK AFTER FMLA IS IF THEY'RE NOT WELL ENOUGH TO COME BACK.

THAT WOULD BE THE ONLY REASON WE SAY THAT YOU CANNOT COME BACK.

>> OK. NOT JUST BUT MY QUESTION IS AFTER 90 DAYS IF THEY CAN'T COME BACK IN THE BUILDING IS THERE A PROCESS FOR US TO FIND SOMETHING FOR THEM TO DO MOBILE OR NOT? HAVE WE THOUGHT IF WE LOOKED INTO THAT IS IS THERE A PROCESS THAT WORK? WELL, YOU CAN'T COME BACK INTO THE BUILDING BUT YOU CAN WORK REMOTELY, OK? THIS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE REMOTELY.

YOU CAN GET THIS TASK HERE AND WE CAN GIVE YOU A SET OF MY HOURS.

IS THAT IS THERE A PROCESS LIKE THAT? HAVE WE THOUGHT HAVE WE PUT ANY THOUGHT INTO THAT TYPE? WE DID ALL THE TIME. WE DO IT ALL THE TIME.

PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSED IN 90 90 DAYS ON FMLA WHO ARE STILL WORKING FOR THE DISTRICT.

>> OH, YES. OH, ABSOLUTELY. YES.

BUT IF THEY CAN NOT COME BACK IN THE BUILDING, WE ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO HOLD THEIR JOB.

>> THAT'S NOT WHAT I'M ASKING HIM IS WHAT I'M ASKING YOU IS THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT THERE WHO WHO ARE PASSED IN 90 DAYS THEY CAN'T COME BACK IN A BUILDING THAT THEY TO FMLA TIME

IS DONE. >> WHO DO WE JUST TELL THEM, OK, YOU'RE NINE YEARS THEN YOU CAN COME BACK ONCE IT'S OVER. OR DO EACH OF THEM LOOK UNITED'S UP? WE KNOW YOU STILL NEED EMPLOYMENT. SO THESE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU POSSIBLY COULD DO. THERE'S A PROCESS THAT YOU COULD PASS THIS ABILITY TO POSSIBLY DO THAT WE CAN ALLOW YOU TO WORK VIRTUALLY THAT PROCEDURE.

THAT'S STANDARD PROCEDURE. THAT MEANS IF THEY COME BACK THEN THEY RUN OUT THERE 90 DAYS. IT IS STANDARD PROCEDURE BY LAW WE MUST FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO DO BUT THEY JUST HAVE TO BE WELL KNOWN IF THEY'RE NOT WELL IF THEY'RE NOT WELL I'M SURE

THAT THEY CAN'T COME BACK IN A LITTLE WHILE. >> I'M SURE I'M SORRY THEY CAN'T COME BACK TO THE BUILDING VIRTUALLY. THERE WAS UNDERLYING ALL OR SO THAT THEY COULD DO FROM HOME. WILL WE GIVE THEM THAT OPTION OR HAVE WE THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING THEM THAT OPTION AND IT'S PANDEMIC TIME IS WHAT I'M ASKING.

YES, WE MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THEM. WE CAN MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS.

YES, MR. CAMPBELL'S NOW DR. COMMEND YOU FOR THE EFFORTS THERE.

[08:20:09]

>> YOU'RE USING WELL, I STILL THINK WE OUGHT TO HAVE SOME KIND OF CEILING IN TERMS OF 1 PERCENT OR 2 PERCENT OR WHATEVER AND MY QUESTION ALSO IS ABOUT THEY'RE TESTING THE ANTIGEN TESTING. WHY WOULD WE BE ABLE TO USE WHEN WE DO HAVE A CLASS OF STUDENTS WHO FLY AT A PATIENT THAT EMPLOYMENT TEAM THEN THEY ARE SENT HOME AND GO ADVISES TO HAVE A TEST RUN RIGHT PAST THE TEST. RIGHT.

SO WHY CAN'T WE DO THAT TESTING ALSO ME AS A PERSON BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO COULD YOU SHOW A COUPLE COUPLE COUPLE COUPLE THINGS ONE BY THE GUIDELINES PROVIDED IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THAT TEST TO ANYBODY? THEY HAVE TO BE SYMPTOMATIC. IF THEY'RE NOT SYMPTOMATIC, YOU YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ADMINISTERING THAT TEST TO THEM BY PROVIDED ADDITIONALLY.

WELL, I THINK THAT'S IT. DR. BRADLEY, WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU YOU WANT TO ADD

TO THAT? >> WELL, THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT WE WOULD NOT ADMINISTER THE ANTIGEN TEST UNLESS A STUDENT IS EXHIBITING SYMPTOMS. ALL RIGHT. JUST LIKE YOU SAID, THE IV ALLERGIST TO ADD TO THAT TO

THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT IN A SUPER RURAL AREA. >> I MEAN HERE THEY ARE IN DIFFERENT COUNTY. THERE ARE MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WHERE YOU CAN GET FREE TESTING . YOU KNOW, AT LEAST FIVE DAYS A WEEK AT NO CHARGE AND TWO PEOPLE I KNOW AND YOU THINK YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS SO SIMPLE JUST A LITTLE SLAP IN THE NOSE.

THAT'S IT IS FAIRLY SIMPLE. >> I MEAN THAT'S GOOD YOU GET RESULTS BACK.

YES. SUPPOSEDLY THE ANTIGEN GIVES YOU A BIT EARLY REALLY TO PREVENT ITS DIAGNOSTIC. IT'S MORE ADDICTIVE THAN ANYTHING ELSE TO TEST FOR THE FOR THE PRO TOOLS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIRUS. BUT IT IS NOT CONFIRMING IT DOESN'T PROVIDE ACTUAL CONFIRMATION OF THE VIRUS LIKE THE PCR TEST.

>> RIGHT. BUT ASSURANCE I IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. I COPY. >> YES.

I JUST WANTED TO CONFIRM MISS WALTON WHEN SOMEBODY IS ON FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE THAT IS AN UNPAID LEAVE, CORRECT? NO, NOT NECESSARILY FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE RUNS CONCURRENTLY

WITH SICK LEAVE BUT ONCE SICK LEAVE RUN RUNS OUT. >> I DON'T THEY CAN'T MAKE PEOPLE TAKE AN EXTENSION WITH FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE AND THEN IT'S UNPAID.

IT IS UNPAID. IF YOU HAVE NO MORE SICK DAYS RIGHT THEN COUNT UNPAID FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE. DOES IS PUT IN A PROTECTIVE STATUS SO THAT YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR EMPLOYMENT. THANK YOU. ALSO OFF I WAS THE PROCESS OF OF CLEANING THE BUILDINGS. HAVE WE CHANGED THE WHAT'S THAT PROCESS LIKE ALONG WITH THE

BUSES SURROUNDING HERE? >> QUESTIONS ABOUT CLEANING BUILDINGS.

BUT AS FAR AS WHEN WE MOVE FROM HYBRID TO FIVE DAYS WE NO LONGER HAVE THE WEDNESDAYS TO FOG. SO WE'VE MOVED TO FOGGING PORTIONS OF THE BUILDING.

EVERY DAY WE HAVE ADDED TO THE CUSTODIAL CONTRACT THAT THERE TO WIPE DOWN ALL FOUR HORIZONTAL SURFACES EVERY DAY, WIPE DOWN TOUCH POINTS. SO ALL THOSE ACTIVITIES WILL CONTINUE, RIGHT? RIGHT. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE BUS? YES, ABOUT THE BUS IS ALSO ABOUT CLEANING. IS THAT THE QUESTION? YES. YES, BUT LOADING A CLEANING HERE.

SO AS FAR AS CLEANING FILLS ALL BUSES ARE PROVIDED WITH THE SANITATION SPRAY DISINFECT AND SPRAY. SO THEY'RE IN BETWEEN ROOTS THERE AND ELECTROSTATIC SPRAY.

SO WHEN THEY COME INTO THE BUS LINE AT THE END OF THEIR MORNING AROUND BUSES BREAK DOWN AND THEN AT THE END OF THE DAY THE BUS IS SPRAYED DOWN IF THEY'RE DOING MULTIPLE ROUNDS DURING THE DAY THE DRIVER HAS THE SANITATION SPRAY AND SPRAY TOUCH POINTS ON THE BUS AND

[08:25:03]

SO ALL BUSES HAVE ARE GOING HAVE ASSIGNED SEATS AS CHILDREN COME ON THE BUS THEY SHOULD LOAD FROM THE BACK OF THE BUS TO THE FRONT. AND AS THEY EXITED THE BUS

EXCUSE ME THE EXIT FROM THE FRONT, THE BACK. >> WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE FOOT FUNGUS, WHAT DO WE DO? WE ACTUALLY HAVE FUNGUS AND DISTRICT OR DO WE HAVE A COMPANY THAT DID THAT? THAT'S WHO WE'RE USING TO FIND CLASSROOMS AT THIS TIME.

>> SO WE WERE ABLE WITH KERRY'S FUNDING PURCHASE FARMERS FOR EVERY BUILDING.

SO EVERY BUILDING THAT WE HAVE HAS VOLUNTEERS AND WE'RE USING FARMERS IN EVERY BUILDING AT THIS TIME AND OH AND TO BE SPECIFIC WHO ARE USING THE FARMERS AND WHAT'S THE WAY AND

WHAT'S THE PROCESS WITH THE FUNGUS YET? >> SO ONE OF THE REASONS

CUSTODIAL DANCE YOUR QUESTION HE'S USING IT. >> PAKISTANI STAFF IS USING HIM. AND ONE OF THE REASONS WE PURCHASED BLOGGERS WERE THEY GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO SET IN A SPACE, LET IT FOLLOW AND KIND OF WALK AWAY.

SO IT DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE SPACE ON HOW LONG THEY HAVE TO RUN THE FOG OR IF YOU'RE DOING SEVERAL CLASSROOMS AND A HALLWAY INSET IN THE HALLWAY RUNNING FOR AN HOUR TEST STRIPS OR PLACE TO SEE WHAT THE AREAS THAT THE FOREIGN COVERS AND DEBATE IS SUPPOSED TO SIT FOR AN HOUR TO AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE IT IS MOVED TO ANOTHER LOCATION.

>> ARE WE FOLLOWING THE BUSES AS WELL AS TO EVERY ROUTE TESTING CENTER?

>> WE AREN'T USING. WE'RE USING A DIFFERENT PIECE OF EQUIPMENT FOR OUR BUILDINGS ARE FATHERS FOR OUR BUSES THEIR ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYERS AT THE END OF EACH ROUND A BUS IS

SPRAYED DOWN WITH AN ELECTROSTATIC SPRAY. >> OK.

I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU SAY THAT AT ONE POINT THAT THE BUS DRIVER WAS GIVEN SOME SUPPLIES

TO USE TO SPRAY THE BUSES DOWN. >> THAT IS EXACTLY RIGHT. SO ON TOP OF THE ELECTRIC STATIC SPRAYER THAT'S DONE AT THE END OF EACH ROUND THE DRIVER HAS CAN'T SPRAY BOTTLES THAT THEY CAN USE. LET'S SAY THEY HAVE A DOUBLE ROUTE AND THEY WANT TO SPRAY DOWN. I TOUCH POINT AREAS THERE. THEY HAVE THAT HAND SPRAY BOTTLE THERE. THEY'RE USE OK. AND THAT'S MY POINT.

DR. REGAN'S I TAKE ISSUE THAT WE HAVE WITH THAT WE WOULD ASK THE BUS DRIVERS TO DO THAT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR. AND IT COULD BE DANGER THAT WE ACTUALLY HAVE BUS DRIVERS TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THEIR BUSES USING IT, PULLING OVER AND TAKING THE TIME TO USE A FATHER OR USE DEAN OR TO USE A FATHERS SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY ARE THEY ARE COMPANIES THAT WILL DO COOK CAN COME TO COME TO THE BUS ON OUR BUS STOP LOCATIONS OR WHO CAN IN THE PROCESS THAT CAN BE AT SCHOOLS AND FOLLOW THIS BUS AND FOUND THESE BUSES AND BETWEEN ROUTES. SO YOU KNOW, I YOU KNOW, I WANT TO BE FAIR A FAIR WITH EVERYONE AND CONCERNED AND CONCERN OF EVERYONE'S SAFETY. SO THAT IS SOMETHING THAT DOES CONCERN ME THAT WE GIVEN THE BUS DRIVER CHEMICALS. I THINK THAT WE SHOULD HAVE FATHERS AT THE EVERY DAY IN BETWEEN EVERY ROUTE AND EVERY DAY IN EVERY BUILDING.

YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THAT CONCERNS ME THAT WE HAVEN'T BUS DRIVERS TO

DO THAT. >> RODDICK IF I COULD SAY PLEASE RECOGNIZE THAT OUR BUSES ARE PRIMARILY OWNED BY THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA. THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IS THE ONE THAT IS PROVIDING THE CHEMICAL AND ALSO THE ELECTROSTATIC SPRAYERS TO BE USED KNOW THIS CHEMICAL IS NOT HAZARDOUS FOR SKIN INHALATION. ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE.

BASICALLY IT'S HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. SO JUST PLEASE RECOGNIZE THAT THEY ARE OWNED BY THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND WE ARE FOLLOWING THE GUIDANCE OF THE

STATE SOUTH CAROLINA ON WHAT WE DO ON THEIR BUSES. >> ALL ALL DUE RESPECT, YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING IT DIDN'T MAKE IT RIGHT. I MEAN DEE DEE DEE DEE ARE THE SPORTS SPORTSCASTER THE SPORTS INDUSTRY THEY'RE DOING THEY'RE DOING SOMETHING.

WE ARE DOING OH ARE THEY DOING SOMETHING THAT THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT? WELL, WE'RE KIND OF SCHOOL DISTRICT. WE ARE.

AND I'M SURE THAT THEY STATE BUSES BUT. BUT WITH WITH THE WITH JUST HAVING A LIE IN A LIE AND GOVERNMENT FUNDED MONEY THAT WE CAN THE SAME WAY HOW WE CAN POSSIBLY EASTERN DISTRICT AND WHO ARE HERE WHO HAVE COME AS A COMPANY SPRAY THE BUILDINGS AND I HAVE COMPANIES THAT COME IN AND SPRAY THE BUSES IS THERE IS NO REASON WHY YOU'VE KIND

[08:30:07]

THE DRONE WENT AND DO WHAT IT NEEDED TO DO AND THAT'S MY POINT WITH THE WITH THE CHEMICALS OR THE BUS DRIVERS OR WHATEVER CHEMICALS OR CHEMICALS THAT.

THAT'S MY POINT IS I'M NOT I'M NOT RULING IT. I WILL YOU GO BACK AND FORTH BACK AND FORTH ON THIS. I JUST NEED YOU TO TAKE MY TAKE MY CONCERNING CONSIDERATION BECAUSE THIS JUST THIS JUST DOES IT SIT WELL WITH ME? I MEAN I NOW I IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT BUILDING LIKE I'M GETTING CLEAN AND I'M GETTING CLEAN AND ALSO THE SAME THING WITH THE BOOKSTORES AND WE CAN HAVE COMPANIES THAT COME IN AND DO SOME OF THE AND DO SOME OF THE SANITIZING AND THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR THEM. WHY NOT? I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD POSSIBLY FROM DAY ONE.

>> THANK YOU. >> TIME TO RUN ON. SO THE LAST THING THAT WOULD GOVERN WOULD BE ARE ANY OF FUTURE AGENDA YOU HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN.

OK.
