[Finance Committee]

[00:00:08]

>> I CAN HEAR YOU FINE. SO I HAVE A QUESTION. NO.

OH GOD, I DID IT. THEN THE SECOND. >> THE SECOND THOUGHT OF IT

WILL. >> WILL PROVIDE FOR THE TERMS THE COUNTY COUNCIL'S WHAT THEY'RE APPROVING OR AND REALLY THEY HAVE A MINISTERIAL ROLE, NOT A SUBSTANTIVE ROLE.

AND WHICH WILL PROVIDE FOR THE BOARD TO CONTROL ITS BUDGET AND THE TIMING OF ITS BUDGET.

AND THE BUT THIS WILL I THINK BE A SOUND ORDINANCE. LEGALLY PROPER.

I'M SURE IT WILL NOT BE WHEN YOU SUBMIT IT. IT'LL TAKE A LOT OF WORK AND DISCUSSION TO GET IT PASSED. BUT THE LEGAL SIDE OF IT WILL BE SOUND AND I THINK THE MOTION FROM THE COMMITTEE IS TO THE FULL BOARD TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO PREPARE THE ORDINANCE AND WHICH WE'LL BE WORKING ON ANYWHERE ANY TIME. NO ONE HAS A QUESTION.

I'D BE GLAD TO RESPOND. OH, MR. MALCOLM, FIRST. FIRST OF ALL, THE BURDEN BEING PLACED STARS OF THIS VENTURE ALMOST STRATEGY. I MEAN DOES IT'S ME, MR. SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES MEAN LEGAL COUNSEL REPORTS TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE BY A LEGAL COUNSEL TO PREPARE A LEGAL OR ORDINANCE AND THAT'S THAT'S WHY IT'S STATED THAT WAY SO THAT HE CAN BE READ MR. CARTLEDGE AND MR. HALLIGAN TO DO THE WORK.

WE WE DON'T HAVE A LEGAL COUNSEL A RESPONSE TO THE BOARD UNLESS WE WANT TO GO OUT AND HIRE ONE SEPARATELY. BUT THAT'S WHY THE MOTION STATED THAT WE SIR ALREADY ALLOW BUT WE WILL APPROVE IT. ALL RIGHT. BEFORE IT GOES TO COUNTY COUNCIL ALSO SIMILAR WHAT WAS THIS? HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WORKS FOR FUTURE DISCUSSING IF YOU HEAR THAT MR..

>> I'M NOT SURE THAT I KNOW I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND AT ALL. I MEAN I UNDERSTOOD PART OF IT.

I WANT TO KNOW SINCE IF APPROVED IF APPROVED HE WHAT WE LOOKING FOR? OH, IS THAT THE ORDER VISUAL THAT THIS THIS IS A PROPOSAL FROM THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT TO THE BOARD IN THE BOARD ONTO COUNTY COUNCIL TO ADOPT THIS ORDINANCE THAT WILL STRUCTURE THE WAY YOU PRESENT YOUR BUDGET TO THEM AND THEIR AUTHORITY AND IT WILL REFLECT WHAT I THINK IS THEIR AUTHORITY UNDER THE LAW WHICH IS ALMOST NONE.

SO IT IS TO REINFORCE YOUR BUDGET CONTROL AND YOUR CONTROL OF THE TAX RATE, THE SAME LIMIT, THE STATE LIMIT. THERE'S A STATE STATUTE THAT ESTABLISHES A LIMIT FOR YOUR PROPERTY TAX RATES THAT APPLIES TO YOU AND TO THE SCHOOL TO THE COUNTY.

SO THAT'S NOT GOING TO BE ANY DIFFERENT BUT IT PROVIDES AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO MAKE IT HAPPEN SMOOTHLY. AND THIS IS THE FIRST STEP. AND YOU TRYING TO WORK WITH THE COUNTY COUNCIL TO ESTABLISH YOUR AUTHORITY OVER YOUR BUDGET AS THAT ALL OF THAT OCCURS.

>> OK HOUSES ITSELF ABOUT MY NEXT BUSINESS PACKAGE. >> OH, THANK YOU.

>> THAT WAS MY QUESTION WAS ALONG THE SAME LINES AS AS MR. CAMPBELL SAID THAT YOU EXPLAINED ABOUT THE PROCESS. SO SO DOES THIS HAVE TO ACTUALLY GO TO THE VOTERS AT ALL? MR. HALLIGAN OR WHAT HAPPENS WAS COUNTY COUNCIL SEES THAT.

CAN YOU JUST EXPLAIN A BIT MORE ABOUT THAT PROCESS? WELL, THERE'S NO PROVISION TO

[00:05:01]

NOW IN SOUTH CAROLINA, THE LOCAL DELEGATIONS HAVE CONTROLLED PHYSICAL AUTHORITY.

AND EVERY SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS SOME TYPE OF STATUTE THAT GOVERNS HOW IT IS WHO HAS AUTHORITY AND HOW MUCH AUTHORITY. AND SO THE CHARGE THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION DOES IS A VERY SUMMARY CHARTER THAT THERE'S A WHY THERE ARE MANY, MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THIS HAPPENS THESE STATUTES. THEY'RE PROBABLY 40 OR 50, 40 OF THEM AT LEAST THAT ARE ALL SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER.

THE AN ORDINANCE BY COUNTY COUNCIL THAT RECOGNIZES IT'S AUTHORITY I THINK IS THE FIRST PLACE YOU START WORK THIS OUT COOPERATIVELY. THE DELEGATION COULD ALSO BE IN WHO'S DEFINITELY HAS A ROLE WHICH COULD BE THEY COULD EXERT THEMSELVES OR FINALLY I MEAN THE LAST RESORT. AND WE DID TALK ABOUT THIS IN THE COMMITTEE SOME SORT OF LAWSUIT BUT THAT'S A VERY DIFFICULT WAY TO GO. IT'S COSTLY.

IT'S TAKES TIME AND THE. AND MY RECOMMENDATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO TRY TO WORK THIS THROUGH AS WE'RE SEEING AS THE COMMITTEE IS SUGGESTING WITH THIS MOTION IDENTITY IS GOING

TO GET. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. EXCUSE ME.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A WHOLE ISSUE WITH THE AUDITOR THIS YEAR AND WILL THIS GET US A ROUND THAT PROBLEM WHERE THE COUNTY AUDITOR AND SAID A MILITARY THAT THEY FEEL IS APPROPRIATE AS OPPOSED TO THE MILITARY? WE FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE.

DOES THIS DOES THIS GET US AROUND THAT OBSTACLE? THIS IS ADDRESSING YOUR OPERATING MILITARY THE IN THE OPERATING VILLAGE, RIGHT. IS THIS WHAT WE'RE DAD'S IS WHAT THIS ORDINANCE IS ADDRESSING? IT WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE ROLES OF THE TREASURER KEN THE COUNTY TREASURER AND THE COUNTY AUDITOR.

NOW THE IF THE I HAVE TALKED TO MISS CROSBY ABOUT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE AUDITOR AND MISS CARTILAGE AND WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT AS BEST WE CAN.

IN THIS AUDIENCE AT RAY, I'M THINKING MY QUESTION KIND OF GOES INTO WHY MR. CAMPBELL IS TALKING ABOUT YOU. SO FROM WHAT I'M NEW ON THE BOARD AND WHAT I UNDERSTAND IS THAT WE HAVE TRIED TO DO THIS BEFORE. I SAID I SAW SOMEWHERE THAT YOU SAID YOU'VE WRITTEN MANY, MANY LETTERS LIKE THIS IN ADDITION TO WHICH I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND BUT I KNOW THAT WE HAD A HUGE ISSUE WITH THE COUNTY AUDITOR TURNED DOWN COUNTY COUNCIL. I'M NOT SURE HOW HE PLAYS INTO ALL THIS.

AND THEN IN ADDITION WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN COLUMBIA IS LESS CONTROL.

RIGHT. AND IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LEGISLATURE SCHOOL BOARDS, YOU'RE RIGHT. THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR THIS VERY CONTROVERSIAL BILL ABOUT COMING INTO TAKING OVER SCHOOL BOARDS. SO IT DOESN'T.

I'M JUST WONDERING HOW ARE THE CONDITIONS GOOD RIGHT NOW TO TRY TO DO THIS? NO ONE AND NUMBER TWO, ARE WE GOING TO WIN? ARE WE GOING TO WIN THIS THIS THIS TIME TO MAKE ALL THIS EFFORT WORTHWHILE? OUR OUR STATE SYSTEM IS SET UP FOR THE STATE LEGISLATURE. YOU KNOW, ACTING BY LAW WHICH MEANS THE GOVERNOR GOVERNOR SIGNATURE AND SO ON. BUT THE STATE LEGISLATURE IS IN CONTROL OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. I MEAN IT'S. THAT'S WHAT ARTICLE ELEVEN THE CONSTITUTION SAYS AND TO EXERCISE THAT AUTHORITY THE STATE LEGISLATURE DIRECTLY HAS CREATED SCHOOL DISTRICTS, COUNTIES HAVE NO FUNCTION IN THE CONSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE OF SCHOOLS THAT THE PUBLIC EDUCATION IS NOT A PURPOSE OF COUNTIES OR OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT. AND THAT'S MY FUNDAMENTAL REASON TO SAY THAT THE COUNTY COUNCIL HAS NO ROLE IN ESTABLISHING YOUR BUDGET AND APPROVING YOUR BUDGET ANY PART OF IT WHETHER IT'S LOCAL REVENUES, STATE REVENUE, FEDERAL REVENUE YOU EVERY DIME

[00:10:02]

>> SO HEADINGS IT EXCEEDS THEIR AUTHORITY. AND SO THIS ORDINANCE WILL RECOGNIZE THAT. NOW HOW HOW FAR IN IT. SO IT IS ACTUALLY VERY CONSISTENT WITH THE LEGISLATIVE YOU KNOW, THE THE STRUCTURE OF SCHOOLS AS AS A STATE FUNCTION DELEGATED TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS CONTROLLED BY STATE STATUTE.

SO THE ISSUE OF , YOU KNOW, THE POWER OF THE STATE LEGISLATURE TO SAY HOW MUCH AUTHORITY TO A LOCAL OVERRULE AN ELECTED BODY ,YES OR NO. THAT'S A DIFFERENT QUESTION.

BUT IT IT'S IT'S THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS THAT CONSTITUTE AUTHORITY TO STRIKE IT TO CREATE AND GIVE POWER TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS? THEY DO NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO DELEGATE THAT TO COUNTIES. AND THAT'S REALLY THE BASIS OF OUR HOLD POSITION HERE.

>> MR. WILLIAMS. NO. DID I ANSWER THE QUESTION?

YES. LIKE A LAWYER. >> I THINK YOU KIND OF CREATE ARGUMENT. GET US I THINK IT'S A GOOD THING TO DO.

I THINK A LOT OF REALLY GOOD ARGUMENTS THOUGH NOT BE SUCCESSFUL.

AND SO WHAT I'M JUST WONDERING IS WHAT THE COUNTY AUDITOR LET'S SAY WE GIVE THIS ORDINANCE PASSED AND IT WORKS OUT AND WE GET EVERYTHING WE WANT.

AND WE'RE STILL FIGHTING THE COUNTY AUDITOR WITH THE SAME ISSUES.

RIGHT. OR I'M JUST WONDERING WHY THE CONDITIONS SEEM BETTER NOW AND YOU STRETCH IT. THAT'S TOO MANY QUESTIONS BUT THAT YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF IF THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME TO DO IT.

AND IT WILL PREVAIL BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THIS FOR MR. WILLIAMS THAT I DO AGREE WITH

WHAT MISS BOATWRIGHT JUST SAID ,WHAT SHE JUST STATED. >> I DON'T KNOW.

THIS IS THE TIME BUT I'VE HEARD THIS QUESTION ASKED SEVERAL TIMES.

FIRST OFF, LET ME LET ME STOP. HOW MANY OTHER SCHOOL BOARDS IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA? BOTH ARE BOTH THEIR OWN. DO THEY DO THEIR OWN BUDGET? WELL, EVERY BOARD DOES ITS OWN BUDGET NOW. I'LL PUT THAT CHART AS IN THE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION

PRESENTED TO YOU. >> WHAT WAS IT? LET ME GIVE YOU A NUMBER.

MOST SEE THIS IS FOR WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR TONIGHT DOUBTFUL AUTONOMY OVER THE BUDGET.

HOW MANY OTHER DISTRICTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA DO THAT HAVE THAT AUTONOMY, YOU KNOW?

>> WELL, LET ME BE CLEAR THE BUDGET IS ALL OF YOUR REVENUE AND ALL OF YOUR EXPENSES.

SO EVERY BOARD HAS AUTHORITY OVER THAT FULL SCOPE. SOME COUNTIES THE LOCAL LEGISLATION GOING WAY BACK SAYS THAT THE COUNTY COUNCIL SHALL DETERMINE THE TAX RATE OR THE COUNTY COUNCIL SHALL DETERMINE THE LOCAL FUNDING THE PROPERTY TAX REVENUE THAT FUNDS THE BUDGET. AND SO YOU KNOW THAT CHART IS A PRETTY GOOD SEE YOU GOT YOUR FIRST ONE IS THE LIMITED AUTHORITY. WELL, THAT'S SORT OF THE BASE.

YOU CAN GO UP BUT YOU HAVE MILLAGE LIMIT. WELL, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT ONE IS IS YOU HAVE A STATE. SO THAT'S NOT RIGHT. THAT SAYS SUBJECT TO THE CAP UNDER ACTOR AAA. AND SEE THERE'S A REAL QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER THESE STATUTORY MILLAGE EXCUSE ME UNDER ACA. HE NOT REALLY ASK TO GET A FISCAL AUTHORITY.

THE TWENTY 27 DISTRICTS MARK MY QUESTION. >> HIS LAST LETTER SAYS FISCAL TIME. TWENTY SEVEN DISTRICTS THOSE ALL.

BUT NONE OF THEM GO TO A COUNTY COUNCIL. OK, THANK YOU.

MY NEXT QUESTION IS HOW DO THIS AFFECTS DEALING WITH THE AUDITOR BECAUSE GO, GO, GO.

WHAT? YEAH. YEAH BUT WHAT? YEAH YEAH. YEAH. HOW DOES THIS AFFECT JUST DEALING WITH THE OUTER. WELL THE AUDITOR HAS CERTAIN AUTHORITY UNDER BY STATUTE

[00:15:05]

THE AUDITOR HAS NO AUTHORITY OVER YOUR WELL. NO AUTHORITY OVER YOUR OPERATING MILLAGE FOR YOUR BUDGET FOR YOUR OPERATING BUDGET FOR OPERATIONS.

NICE TO SAY THAT. BUT UNDER THE OLD A LOCAL EFFORT PROVISION THE AUDITOR USED TO HAVE AUTHORITY TO SET THE RIGHT FOR OPERATIONS AT A CERTAIN LEVEL.

BUT THE STATE LEGISLATURE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED THAT FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS.

IT'S STILL THE LAW. BUT THEY SUSPENDED EVERY YEAR AND A PROVISO.

SO REALLY THE AUDITOR HAS TO DELIVER THE RIGHT AND APPLY IT TO EACH INDIVIDUAL TAX BILL THAT A ELECTED BODY ESTABLISHED AS SUCH AS YOU OR A COUNTY COUNCIL, THE STATE LEGISLATURE CAN ALSO SPECIFY A FAKE MILLAGE ABOUT RIGHT. OK.

BUT LOOK I WOULD SAY. BUT TO SAY I'M ABOUT TO SOME DEGREE THE ORDER STILL HAS THE AUTONOMY TO SET THE MONIES RIGHT. WHEN IT COMES TO CERTAIN THINGS IS THAT NOT CORRECT? THE AUDITOR HAS CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES DEALING WITH

DEBT DEBTOR AND THAT'S IT NOT OPERATION. >> YES.

>> BUT IT'S ALSO THAT THEREFORE WE. WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAT HE WAS SAYING THAT WE STILL OR CAN OCCUR THE SAME SITUATION THAT THAT IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE ARE ACCUSING THE AUDITOR OF OF DOING RIGHT NOW IF IS IF HIS EVEN HIS FAULT WE STILL CAN DO WITH THESE THINGS STILL CAN CAN OCCUR. IS THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT CORRECT WITH REGARDS TO MONEY? WE HAVE. YES.

YOU CAN SAY THE AUDITOR. RIGHT. AND STILL HAVE DISPUTES WITH THE AUDIT. THERE'S NO QUESTION. OK.

OK. AND ALSO I HEARD SOMEONE ASKED YOU WHY DO THE SUPERINTENDENT STAFF. AND THEY SAID BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE AN ATTORNEY NOT NORMALLY READ. WELL, FIRST LET ME CORRECT THAT.

I BELIEVE THAT THE DISTRICT DOES HAVE THAT THE BOARD DOES HAVE ATTORNEYS THAT IT USE FOR CERTAIN THINGS. AND I WOULD THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE A TIME WHERE THE BOARD WOULD NEED TO SEEK LEGAL LEGAL, LEGAL COUNSEL AND YOU KNOW, LEGAL COUNSEL.

ARE YOU I MEAN ATTORNEY YES. I'M I'VE REPRESENTED THE BOARDS OF DIRECTORS NOW FOR 30 YEAR.

OK, SO YOU SO I SAW YOU I YOU REPRESENT THE HEARING TODAY BUT SIR, ARE YOU BUSY? EXACTLY. I REALIZE THE JOB HAVE DONE A BURDEN.

I'M REPRESENTING YOU. I REPRESENT THE DISTRICT. I WORK WITH DR. RODRIGUEZ.

I REPRESENT I WORK WITH MS. CARTLEDGE. I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HER ON THIS ORDINANCE SINCE THE COMMITTEE MEETING. SO.

AND WHAT I THINK I DO IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE BOARD. NOW I'M NOT SURE.

I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN RETAINED AND I THINK YOU ALL HAVE THIS DISTINCTION BETWEEN REPRESENTING THE DISTRICT AND REPRESENTING THE BOARD. AND I THANK Y'ALL ARE UNIQUE IN DOING THAT. BUT SO I THINK I'M I THINK I'M REPRESENTING THE DISTRICT THIS

GALA WHICH MIGHT HAVE TO STRAIGHTEN THAT OUT. >> THANK YOU.

YOU WANT TO LISTEN I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY INTO THE MICROPHONE LEAVES I GUESS I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT THE DISTRICT A CAR OF AND I PARDON ME FOR OUT WE WANT OUR CHILDREN HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES THAT THEY GET THE BEST EDUCATION POSSIBLE AND THEY SHOULD BE THE FIRST WORKING FOR US AND OTHERS. YES.

WE WORK TOGETHER AND WE HAVE TO BE. NEXT IS CAMPBELL.

YES. I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BAD TIME.

BECAUSE JUST THE RIGHT TIME IS IF YOU GO TO RIBAUT OKATIE RALPH, CAN YOU GET ANYTHING DONE? IDEAL BECAUSE ON THIS DISTRICT IS NOT UNDER ANY THREAT RIGHT NOW BEING TAKEN OVER. YOU GOT A COUPLE OF SCHOOLS. BUT I THINK WE'RE AT A POINT

[00:20:07]

YOU HAVE TO YOU. SO I THINK THIS. THANK YOU SINCE I WAS HOPING

I'D ALSO LIKE TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS. >> FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO THANK THE COLLAGEN AND WENDY ROUTLEDGE FOR WORKING ON THIS. I AGREE WITH YOU.

I DON'T THINK THE BOARD NEEDS SEPARATE REPRESENT PATIENT BECAUSE OUR INTERESTS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE. IT'S UNDER RARE CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE WE'D BE AT ODDS WITH EACH OTHER. THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF THOSE INSTANCES.

I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH MR. CAMPBELL. I THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT TIME.

IT'S NOT GOING TO OCCUR WITHOUT OUR EFFORTS. IT TAKES EFFORT TO DO THIS AND IT'S NOT GOING TO JUST MAN IN OUR LAB. WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AND I THINK THIS MEMORANDUM THAT WAS PREPARED AND I GUESS A SECTION OF THIS IS FROM YEARS PAST. BUT IT'S GOT A GREAT HISTORY. I THINK MR. HALLIGAN OUTLINED THE HISTORY AND IS READING THIS A DANCE? I MEAN IT'S VERY CLEAR IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS OUR INDUSTRY AND IT'S IT'S KIND BEEN BOTTLED IN THIS IS IN THIS COUNTY WHERE I LIVE. IT SHOULD SAY ADVOCATED OUR AUTHORITY IN A WAY YOU CAN COUNTY COUNCIL AND I ASSUME THAT THIS WOULD ALSO PREVENT COUNTY COUNCIL FROM CHANGING WHAT THE MILITARY DOES THAT WE'RE REQUESTING FOR OUR OPERATING BUDGET.

AND JUST AS MS. CARTLEDGE SAID, I MEAN OUR GOAL IS WE WANT TO PROVIDE THE BEST PUBLIC EDUCATION TO OUR STUDENTS AND OBVIOUSLY THE BUDGET IS KEY IN THAT.

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO DO IT. I THINK FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS . ONE IS CERTAINLY THE AUDITOR AT IT HAS PUT HIMSELF IN A DIFFICULT SPOT BY A NUMBER OF THINGS HE'S DONE AND THAT'S BEEN REPORTED PUBLICLY.

WE ALL OF US ON THIS BOARD ARE ELECTED BY THE SAME CONSTITUENCY THAT THE COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE ELECTED. WE AREN'T APPOINTED TO BE ONE THING OR A COUNTY BOARD AND THEY WERE AN ELECTED BOARD THAT MAYBE THIS WOULDN'T BE APPROPRIATE.

ALSO WE'VE HAD THIS IN THE RECENT PAST. WE HAD THE FORENSIC AUDIT WITH NO SIGNIFICANT FINDINGS. WE'VE HAD YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR OUR ANNUAL AUDIT THAT ALWAYS COMES OUT. THAT'S FINE. I MEAN WE KNOW THAT WE KNOW THE BUDGET. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES AND THE BOARD MEMBERS BETTER THAN ANYBODY ELSE. CERTAINLY BETTER THE COUNTY COUNCIL BETTER THE AUDITOR BETTER THAN THE ASSESSOR OR TREASURER. SO I I DEFINITELY THINK THIS IS NEEDED AT THIS TIME. AND I THINK IT'S A GREAT TIME TO DO MR. GALLAGHER.

THANK YOU, MANAGER. TO TALK ABOUT THE TIMING VERSUS A COUPLE OF TIMES WE NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS ONE. WHEN WAS THIS PASSED THIS ORDINANCE THAT IS IN EFFECT 19 SIXTY EIGHT. WHAT WAS GOING ON IN 1968? BEAUFORT COUNTY.

IT WAS INTEGRATION. ZEKE, THIS IS THIS IS A LEGACY OF THAT TIME.

THIS WILL NEVER PASS A COURT OF LAW AND IT WOULD BE A PUBLIC RELATIONS NIGHTMARE OR A COUNCIL THAT TRIED TO FIGHT THIS AND ALSO ABOUT THE RIGHT TIME.

WE HAVE AN ACHIEVEMENT GAP. WE'VE TALKING ABOUT AN ACHIEVEMENT GAP.

WE'RE GIVEN THE SUPERINTEND THE RESPONSIBILITY TO OVERCOME THAT ACHIEVEMENT GAP IS GOING TO COME TO US AND HE'S GOING TO ASK FOR RESOURCES. WE HAVE TO GIVE HIM THE RESOURCES, NOT THE COUNTY COUNCIL. WE ARE THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING FOR OUR CHILDREN. THIS IS THE TIME NOW WE'RE GOING TO HAVE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME MONEY FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR CATCH UP. AND THAT'S GOING TO HELP US CATCH UP. BUT IT'S A ONE TIME SHOT THAT IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE OUR ACHIEVEMENT GAP. SO THIS IS THE TIME TO GET THIS STRAIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME BACK IN PROBABLY TWO YEARS AND WITH THE SUPER ATTENDANCE GOING TO SAY THIS IS WHAT I NEED. AND THIS IS WHAT WE'VE GOT TO GIVE IN AND NOT BE SECOND GUESS BY COUNTY COUNCIL WHO HAS NO CLUE ABOUT ACHIEVEMENT GAP ABOUT WHAT'S INVOLVED THE STAFFING THIS REQUIRED THIS IS THE TIME TO DO IT. WE ALSO HAVE REASSESSMENT

[00:25:05]

>> WE'LL BE BACK IN THE REASSESSMENT TIME. SO LET'S GET THIS DONE NOW.

THAT WAS NEVSKY. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I WAS GOING TO I MEAN I GO ABOUT I'LL LET YOU HAVE THAT, MADAM CHAIR AND THAT'S THE THREE MAIN THINGS WITH REGARD TO THAT TIMING. NUMBER ONE, THIS IS A PRACTICALLY A BRANDING BOARD AND BACK WHEN THIS WAS ALL DISCUSSED PRIOR THE IF YOU WILL WAS MUCH DIFFERENT.

THERE WAS A EXTREME LACK OF DISTRUST BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BOARD, THE COUNTY COUNCIL.

I WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT THAT IS MENDING. WE ALSO PASSED A REFERENDUM THE FIRST TIME IN ELEVEN YEARS AND THAT SPEAKS TREMENDOUSLY TO THE PUBLIC CONFIDENCE IN THIS BOARD AND IN THIS DISTRICT WHICH HAS CHANGED I THINK TREMENDOUSLY IN THE LAST FEW YEARS.

AND WE ALSO HAVE A BRAND NEW SET OF BOARD POLICIES THAT HAVE A LOT FOCUS ON FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. SO I THINK WHEN THAT COUPLED AND ALONG WITH EVERYTHING THAT EVERYONE ELSE THAT THIS TIME IS RIGHT AND I THINK THAT WINNING THOSE THINGS OUT THE COUNTY COUNCIL AS WELL AND MAKING THE PUBLIC AWARE OF THOSE THINGS IS IMPORTANT TO SUPPORT BEHIND US IN MAKING THIS LITTLE DEFENDANTS THAT MAY NOT HAVE ANY TANGIBLE AS CARTER SAID, IT'S ABOUT THE CHILDREN AND EDUCATING THEM AND PROVIDING NOT ONLY THE BEST OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE CAN. SO I CERTAINLY THINK IT'S THE RIGHT TIME TO SUPPORT THIS WHOLE HEARTEDLY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

THERE BEING NO FURTHER HANDS OFF. WE'LL CALL FOR THE QUESTION I JUST PUT MY I BELIEVE I ALREADY CALLED FOR THE QUESTION, MR. SMITH IS YES. THE FUNCTION HERE IS 10 1 1 NO KIDS JUST YOU KNOW.

THANK YOU MR. HOW ARE YOU GOING TO THANK YOU IS CARTILAGE AND MR. GALLAGHER, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FURTHER FROM YOUR COMMITTEE REPORT? ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. I'LL SIGN UP. THANK YOU.

I'LL LEAVE THE MEETING. SAY. ALL RIGHT.

[Monthly Transparency Report - Board Monthly Budget]

THANK YOU. WHAT'S THIS DELAY WE HAVE? UH, A FEW SHORT ITEMS ON THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT WILL BEGIN WITH THE FISCAL. AMEN.

IS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY AND MS. CROSBY WILL WALK US THROUGH THE

PARTNERSHIP OR 100 PAGE REPORT AND BOARD MONTHLY BUDGET. >> GOOD EVENING.

IS I WILL SORT OF BUNDLE AS I USUALLY DO TO THESE AREAS TOGETHER.

SOMETIMES THE QUESTIONS WILL DEPEND ON THE VARIOUS REPORTS AND WHEN I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE WERE BRINGING FORWARD FOR THE SECOND TIME TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR REPORTS TO ONE HUNDRED HOURS NOW OF COURSE THE BOARD ASKED FOR I AM A CONSOLIDATED VERSION AND WE CONTINUE TO BRING THAT DETAILED VERSION SO I WOULD LIKE SOME DIRECTION TODAY IF POSSIBLE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO CONTINUE BRINGING THOSE TWO OR IF WE MAY BE ABLE TO CONSOLIDATE DOWN TO THE ONE PAGE VERSION THAT SUPPORTS WILL WILL BE HAPPY TO HONOR WHICHEVER CHOICE YOU DESIRE AND WE'LL BRING THAT FORWARD FOR FUTURE BOARD MEETING.

SO WITH THAT I'LL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. WELL, NO ONE ELSE HAS OPENED UP

[00:30:03]

THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I DON'T KNOW EXACT WORDING OF THE POLICY OR WHICH ONE IT IS. WE CAN CERTAINLY LOOK THE EASIEST CARTILAGE IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND. I'M FULL OF THAT ALWAYS. IF YOU CAN FIND THAT MONTHLY BUDGET REPORT AT LEAST FIVE SIX SEVEN IS ONE OF THEM. HOWEVER IT DOES STATE AND WE'LL BRING FORWARD A REPORT CITING THE ANY PURCHASES AND OR CONTRACTS OVER ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS OR ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT THE INDIVIDUAL LINE ITEM INVOICE SO IT DOESN'T SPECIFY TO THAT LEVEL.

ALL RIGHT, MR. STREET VENDOR THROUGHOUT I'M SURE THE INTENT OF THE MOTION IT WAS MADE WAS IN FACT TO HAVE THIS DETAIL AVAILABLE. WERE BOARD MEMBERS THAT WANTED TO DETAIL. SO I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE CONTINUE TO GET BOTH REPORTS.

THE SUMMARY REPORT IS PROBABLY WHEN I'M GOING TO LOOK AT AND I I WON'T GO TO THE DETAIL UNLESS I SEE SOMETHING IN THE SUMMARY. BUT IF THE ORIGINAL WAS MOTION WAS MADE SO THAT THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO BOARD MEMBERS WITHOUT THEM HAVING TO MAKE A SPECIAL REQUEST FOR IT. SO IF IT'S NOT BURDENSOME. HI.

SO I WOULD SUGGEST WE CONTINUE TO DO BOTH THERE A JUST ONE ADDITIONAL COMMENT THIS DETAIL

IN THIS REPORT. >> THE INITIAL VERSION IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE TRANSPARENCY REPORT AND IN THAT REPORT IS ON ALPHABETICAL ORDER ACTUALLY PROVIDES A LITTLE MORE DETAIL WITH FUNDING SOURCES AND LONGER DESCRIPTIONS SO WE CAN CONTINUE TO BRING THEM ALL.

BUT IT IS WE DO HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THERE ARE SOME RIGHT PROCEED.

THE. SO THIS IS THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR FOUR YEARS THE TRANSPARENCY PORT AND THE BOARD MONTHLY BUDGET REPORT. SO EITHER.

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS IN THAT AREA? IT'S RUN.

>> YES. THANK YOU. I HAVE A QUESTION NEXT ABOUT THE PURCHASE OF INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARDS FROM MULTIPLE SCHOOLS.

I THOUGHT WE HAD COMPLETE DID THAT INSTALLATION BEFORE AND SO CAN YOU UPDATE WHY WE ARE PURCHASING MORE MR. SHAW? WOULD YOU LIKE TO ANSWER THAT ONE?

>> YES. THIS WAS TO COMPLETE THIS STEP. FINAL STAGE OF THE THIRD STAGE OF THE BOX LIKE INSTALLATION. THESE SCHOOL'S WERE THE LAST THAT WERE INSTALLED WITH OUR PREVIOUS INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD FROM PROMETHEAN. WE HAD TO LET THOSE PRODUCTS RUN THE COURSE OF THEIR LIFESPAN WHICH WAS FIVE YEARS. THAT'S WHY WE HAD RESERVED THE MONEY TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT IN THE 8 PERCENT FUND AND WE COMPLETED AS OF THE TIME LINE

AND LIFECYCLE OF THE EQUIPMENT REFRESH. >> THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE

EQUIPMENT FOR OUR ADDITIONS. >> YES, THANK YOU. >> THAT'S GOOD.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I'M YES IT HAS THERE IS AN ITEM LISTED FOR AN ADDITIONAL SRO ADDED AT RPI. EXACTLY. THERE WAS ADDITIONAL STATE FUNDING THIS PAST YEAR FOR TWO ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. ONE WE PLACED ONE NORTH ON BROADWAY AND SOUTH OF BROAD AND THAT IS LOCATION DUE GEOGRAPHICS MULTIPLE REASONINGS FOR PLACEMENT THERE AS THERE WASN'T ONE ON THE CAMPUS AS THERE IS AT SAY BLUFFTON MIDDLE UNTOUCHED OR ABOVE WITH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND MIDDLE SCHOOL BEING CLOSED.

SO THAT WAS PLACEMENT IN THAT WAS OFFERED WITH STATE FUNDING IS AS NEAR A QUESTION ABOUT THE

[00:35:10]

AND SO THE PERCENTAGES ON PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE IS POST IS ABOUT 70 PERCENT.

BUT THE AMOUNTS ARE ALL THERE. SO THAT'S THAT PERCENTAGE IS BASED ON THE REVISED BUDGET.

PERCENTAGE USED I HAVE TO CALCULATE THAT REALLY QUICKLY TO SEE IF IT'S BASED ON THE ORIGINAL OR REVISED WHAT WE HAVE DONE THIS PAST MONTH IS TO DO A BUDGET TRANSFER TOWARDS STIPENDS OR NEARING TO WE ARE APPROACHING TO BE EXCEEDING THE BUDGET.

AND SO WE IDENTIFIED OTHER AREAS OF SAVINGS WITHIN THE BUDGET FOR EXAMPLE TRAVEL AND LEGAL SERVICES AND SOME TECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE THAT HAD NOT BEEN PURCHASED.

SO WE HAD A BUDGET TRANSFER TO MOVE MONEY INTO THOSE FUNDS. WE DO EXPECT SO THE BUDGET IN THE FORM MEANING STIPENDS AREA IS FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND AND AS OF TODAY'S DATE WE'VE SPENT FIFTY ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED SO WE. THERE WAS A NEED I EXPECT AN ADDITIONAL APPROXIMATELY TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS REMAINING TO BE SPENT AT THE PACE THAT ARE BASED ON HISTORICAL MONTHLY SPENDING SO IT WILL BE ABOUT ANOTHER FIFTY SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS A MONTH OR FOR MANY SECONDS SO THAT EQUATES FOR SIX PERFORMANCE TO BE ABOUT TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS OVER BUDGET. SO WE HAVE TRANSFERRED FUNDS IN FROM SAVINGS AND TRAVEL TO COVER THAT EXPENSE. SO THE NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET HAS BEEN HELD THE SAME AMOUNT.

SO WE HAVE A SIMILAR ISSUE GOING FORWARD AS WELL. THAT HAS BEEN ONE OF MOST HELPFUL IS IF YOU COME OUT TO BE IT'S BASED ON THE REVISED BUDGET.

THANK YOU. MR. SMITH. OH, EXCUSE ME.

SO CAN YOU. JUST TO GO BACK TO WHAT I WOULD ASK YOU JUST DISGUSTED.

SO BASICALLY WE'VE HIRED TO JUST GO SRO WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

SEE YOU AS ALWAYS. >> WORK ARE IN A EXTENDED CONTRACT.

SO THE ONE OF THE TOWN BLUFFTON AND I DON'T RECALL I BELIEVE THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

SO THOSE ARE EXTENDED CONTRACTS AND THEY HAVE IN PLACE PHYSICALS.

MR. SMITH, FOR CLARIFICATION THIS WAS DURING THE PRIOR SCHOOL YEAR AND THIS CAME BEFORE THE BOARD AT THAT TIME WE SPOKE ABOUT IT AT THAT TIME. WHAT WAS THAT TIME?

>> DO WE DECIDE WHICH SCHOOLS IF THE S OUR OWN WILL BE GOING THROUGH AT THAT TIME AS WELL?

>> I BELIEVE I'M NOT I DON'T I CAN'T RECALL THAT BUT I BELIEVE THAT I CAN'T RECALL MR. SMITH BUT I THINK THAT WE THAT I DIDN'T MENTION THE SPECIFIC SCHOOLS THAT THAT THEY WERE GOING TO SO THIS MONEY WHAT DID THIS MONEY WAS THE RULES ARE ALREADY BUDGETED CORRECT FOR FOR THESE TWO POSITIONS AND THIS WAS WHAT IT WAS REALLY WHAT WAS WHAT WAS IS WHAT WE'RE

SAYING? >> I BELIEVE THAT IS THE CASE. I HAVE TO LOOK INTO THIS A LITTLE FURTHER TO UNDERSTAND THE BUDGET IN THOSE SCHOOLS THAT PLACEMENT WAS HELD AT OR THAT GET PLACED AT IT. SO I'VE TO GET MORE INFORMATION TO GET A PRETTY DETAILED WITH THAT DISCUSSION TODAY. AND THOSE S OUR RULES ARE LAST YEAR THOSE S OUR RULES ARE CURRENTLY AT THOSE SCHOOLS SERVING THERE AT THIS TIME BUT AT THIS PRESENT TIME.

YES. THANK YOU MR. STRANGER. AND I'M SURE JUST QUICKLY WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BOARD BUDGET AND HOW YOU FOUND MONEY IN OTHER OTHER COST CENTERS TO MOVE IN THROUGH THE BOARD MEETING BUDGET AT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD LIKE US TO STOP DOING. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT THIS REPORT AND SAY HOLY COW, WE'RE 40 PERCENT OVER BUDGET ON THE BOARD MEETING AND THEN WHEN YOU MOVE MONEY IT MASKS. SO I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A BIG DEAL ABOUT IT BECAUSE YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THIS ENOUGH. BUT THIS IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE

[00:40:02]

I HAVE A QUESTION TO LAST ONE IN WHICH MR. SCRIBBLES YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION SO THAT MY LESS LEFT OVER WOULD HAVE TO BE REPORTED BOUGHT TO ANY US WELL SUBSEQUENTLY FINE.

WOULD THAT BE HAPPY BECAUSE THE BOARD I MEAN BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF THAT AND I JUST WONDER IF YOU WOULD WANT TO MAKE A MOTION TO THAT THAT WOULD THEY HAVE TO LET US KNOW ON RESPONSIBLE FOR

THAT? NO. >> I MEAN THE SCRIPTURE WAS ABOUT HIS I MEAN I WOULD KIND OF LIKE TO HEAR WHAT HE SAID FIRST AND THEN YOU GAVE ME THAT

THAT WOULD BE OK IF YOU HAD A PROBLEM WITH THAT. >> I'M INTERESTED IN WRITING A MOTION TO TONIGHT WE ARE JUST POINTING OUT I SAID THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND I DON'T LIKE TO SEE THIS AND PERHAPS WE GET TO THE BUDGET. I COULD MAKE A MOTION BUT I'M

RUNNING ALWAYS BOYS. >> WELL I GET IT THIS WAY THEN .

>> DOESN'T THIS THE REASON WHY I WAS ASKING WHY DID YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? BECAUSE I AM AWARE AND I'VE HEARD YOU SAY THIS SEVERAL TIMES THAT'S THANK YOU.

I WOULD JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE BOARD'S BUDGET THE GRAND TOTAL HERE IS ALMOST FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THAT'S FAR HERE TODAY. MAGGIE IS ABOUT 240 THOUSAND.

SO YEAH, IF THERE IS A WAY TO BETTER ALLOCATE IT. I KNOW YOU TRIED TO DO THAT EVERY YEAR. OBVIOUSLY WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE PANDEMIC IN ADVANCE OF ADVOCATING FOR THIS YEAR. AND SO THAT IS OBVIOUSLY HAD A BIG INFLUENCE BECAUSE MANY OF US HAVE NOT USED OUR TRAVEL BUDGET AND WOULD BE THAT SINCE WE'RE GOING TO ZOOM IN MEETINGS OBVIOUSLY THE STATEMENTS FROM THE MEETINGS IS INCREASED. SO THAT'S I MEAN IN A WAY IT'S A CIRCUMSTANCE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND MR. GRIFFIN, HIS REMARKS THAT YOU KNOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS AS ACCURATE AS POSSIBLE.

AND I GUESS, YOU KNOW, NOT THAT I CAN HELP YOU DEVELOP A CFO BUT IT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S ONE IT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR THEM TO THE BOARD AS A WHOLE. IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE TAKING IT FROM A JAR TO PAY FOR OUR MEETINGS OR WHEREAS YOU KNOW, I MEAN.

SO I GUESS IF I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHERE THIS DISTRIBUTOR IS GOING BUT AT THE SAME TIME TO IT'S IT'S AN ESTIMATE. THAT'S WHAT A BUDGET IS AND I KNOW THIS IS VARIOUS TOLD ME IN THE PAST TO MRS. CROSBY I DON'T WANT TO MISSPEAK BUT YOU CAN'T HAVE MINUS BALANCES.

THAT'S NOT I'M NOT ALLOWED OR THAT'S NOT THE USUAL PRACTICE. AND LIKE I JUST SAID, THESE MEETINGS HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO WAY TO KNOW ABOUT THAT IN ADVANCE.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO RESPOND? SURE. WE HAVE TRANSITION WITH THE STAFF AND OUR DEPARTMENT AND REALLY WITH A FOCUSED INSTITUTE A FOCUS ON BUDGETING AND MONITORING THE BUDGET MORE FREQUENTLY MORE YOU KNOW, IN MANY WAYS AND DOWN TO THE GRANULAR LEVEL ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE PUT INTO PLACE IN PARTICULAR LATELY IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A BUDGET BEFORE WE SPEND IN AN AREA BEFORE WE SPEND IN THAT AREA. AND SO WE ALWAYS TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE HAVE THOSE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR US. AND IF WE'RE EXCEEDING MONEY IN A BUDGET OF OTHER CERTAIN DEPARTMENT, I WANT TO CUT BACK SPENDING IN OTHER AREAS SO THAT I CAN SAVE AND OFFSET ANY ANYTHING THAT MAY BE EXCEEDING I MAY MAY SPENT TOO MUCH ILLEGAL THIS MONTH.

SO I NEED TO SAVE IN SUPPLIES. SO WE DO BUDGET TRANSFERS IN AN EFFORT TO MOVE MONEY AWAY FROM AREAS THAT WE MAY NOT BE SPENDING OR SAVING AND WE'RE GOING TO COVER FUTURE IDEALLY AS FUTURE COSTS NOT COST THAT HAVE ALREADY INCURRED SUCH AS THESE.

SO WE IT IS A CONCERTED EFFORT THAT WE ARE MAKING REGULAR WEATHER TRANSFERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT OVERSPENDING. THE ENTIRE FINANCE DEPARTMENT BUDGET OF THE ENTIRE HUMAN RESOURCE BUDGET. SO WE DO HAVE RESOURCES TO COVER THAT.

SO IT IS AN EFFORT THAT WE ARE INTENTIONALLY MAKING. WE CAN CERTAINLY NOT DO THAT

[00:45:01]

IT'S NOT THERE'S NO ACCOUNTING RULE OR GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARD THAT SAYS WE CAN'T DO IT THE WAY WE'VE DONE OR THAT WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST THAT WE COULD ALLOW OVERSPENDING IN ONE AREA JUST TO SEE WHAT KIND NEGATIVE STATUS FOR YOU.

BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY REVERT BACK. WE HAVE NO BUDGET TRANSFERS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THE BOARD'S BUDGET AND ALLOW YOU TO SEE IT JUST RAW DATA AS IS WITH NO BUDGET TRANSFER. SO WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT. PETER JOHN, YOU'VE SPOKEN YOU'VE GOT DIVORCED MISS CROSBY. OH, MAY HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS AS MR. STERN AND YOUR MENTIONING AND IT IS MY RECOLLECTION THAT LIKE POINT THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL COLUMN THAT WAS IN THIS REPORTING THAT I HAD.

PERCENT USED BASED ON THE ORIGINAL ALLOCATION. I'M NOT A CONCERN ABOUT THE TRANSFER OF BUDGET TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS MONEY THERE WHEN NEEDED.

BUT I REMEMBER THAT WE HAD THE CONVERSATION AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE REPORTING IT OUT THAT THEY SAID YOU USED BASED ON THE ORIGINAL ALLOCATION SO THAT WE COULD SEE WHERE IT WAS OVER 100 PERCENT. AND THEN THAT WOULD INFORM THE DECISIONS FOR NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET MAKING. SO I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSFERENCE OF BUDGETS.

IT'S THE REPORTING OUT OF THIS SO THAT WE'RE NEVER INFORMED WHAT THE ACCURATE IS.

YOU MAY RECALL. AND I I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS MONTH I RAN THIS REPORT.

AND SO AND ROBIN REQUESTED DUE TO SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES FOR ME TO WRITE I MAY RUN INTO IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY. NO, I'M NOT SURE. BUT THERE IS USUALLY AN OPTION FOR COMPARING IT TO THE ORIGINAL OR REVISED BUDGETS AND IF THERE ISN'T WE CAN EASILY EXPORTED IT TO AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET AND PUT IN BOTH OF THOSE COLUMNS INFORMATION.

RIGHT. AND I JUST RECALL THAT YOU BELIEVED YOU WERE GETTING THAT REPORT FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS OR SHOWED AGAINST THE ORIGINAL. SO IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO WHAT I THINK THAT WOULD INFORM THE BUDGET PROCESS FOR NEXT YEAR. THANK YOU.

DOUGLAS DEPUTY, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. IN DISCUSSING THE TOPIC OF TRANSFER OF MONEY. I WAS JUST GOING TO POINT TO OUR NEW POLICY.

OH IT CAN. NUMBER THREE WHICH DOES SPEAK TO THE TRANSFER OF MONEY.

BUT IT DOES HOLD UP THAT THE THOUSANDS OF THAT EARLY APPLY IN THIS CASE AND ALSO SPEAKS ABOUT TRANSFERS OF MONEY TO BETWEEN FUNCTIONS. I KNOW WE DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE THE INTERPRETATION OF WHAT OUR SUPERINTENDENT MAYBE THAT MEANS.

SO AS WE THINK ABOUT THAT IN THE FUTURE, WHAT IS HIS POINT OF MORE MEMBERS TO THAT EASE OF AT LEAST A MODIFICATION CHANGES THE BOOK IS FIRST. THANK YOU.

MISERABLE. >> YES. I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE PRINTING AND PRINTING AND BINDING, NO MONEY WAS TRANSFERRED INTO THAT ACCOUNT AND WE EXPENDED THREE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE DOLLARS MORE THAN WAS IN THAT ACCOUNT.

SO THEREFORE THE AVAILABLE BUDGET IS REFLECTED AS NEGATIVE AND THE PERCENT USED IS OVER 100 PERCENT. SO IT SEEMS TO ME WHAT MR. SCRIBNER IS ASKING FOR WE DID IN THAT ONE COLUMN BUT NOT IN THE OTHER CURVE WHAT JESUS IS I GUESS IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE COULD JUST MAKE IT SO MUCH EASIER THAT WAY. SO ESTIMATE WHAT'S NEEDED FOR NEXT YEAR IF WE OUTLOOK WAS PERCENT USE OF THE ORIGINAL BUDGET BUT FOR THE CAMERA.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANKS.

NEXT ITEM ON THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT IS A SHORT TERM UPDATE TO 9 2 WEEK

TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS HAVE BEEN CREATED AND ENSURING STUDENTS CONTINUE TO RECEIVE INSTRUCTION IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ARTS AREAS.

BUT INSTRUCTION IS ALIGNED TO OUR STATE'S STANDARDS. UNDER THE WORK OF MRS. CARMEN DILLARD HER GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT AS WELL AND THE ADDITION OF MATERIALS IN COLLABORATION WITH OUR TEACHERS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO START A REPOSITORY OF GOOGLE DOCUMENTS FOR LESSON PLANS THAT ARE BEING ABLE TO BE SHARED THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.

DURING THE PANDEMIC YOU BEAUFORT COUNTIES TEACHERS HAD AHEAD OF MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITHIN THE STATE AND NATIONAL AND THE PROVISION OF LEARNING EXPERIENCE EXPERIENCE FOR THEIR

STUDENTS. >> IN NOVEMBER OF 2020 THE PERSON TO HEALTH AND WELFARE PROTOCOLS WERE ESTABLISHED SINCE SINCE THEN INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES PERSONNEL WORK WITH DISTRICT AND SCHOOL AND WITH DR. BRADLEY TO PUT IN PLACE HEALTH AND WELFARE PROTOCOLS IN ORDER TO HAVE OUR STUDENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TO PERFORM AS YOU WITNESSED THIS EVENING.

GIVEN THE CHALLENGES FACED IN THE HEART OF THE PANDEMIC, STUDENTS ARE STILL ABLE TO PARTICIPATE PERFORMANCES AND PRODUCE ARTISTIC PRODUCTS.

KEVIN LA NATIVE AMERICAN WHO OF LIFE BEAT THE CARE CENTER FOR PUPPETRY ARTS.

AMERICAN HIT HEROES SUCH AS TUBMAN AND DOUGLAS THURMAN IS A MODERN BALLET THEATER AND THE ELLINGTON DANCE TROUPE. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR EACH OF YOU FOR IT AS I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THE WORK OF OUR PERFORMING ARTS AND FINE ARTS TEACHERS THEY HAVE AND CONTINUE TO BE AT THE CORE OF THE CREATIVITY STUDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE CARMEN DILLARD FOR HER WORK THIS YEAR WHEN OUR TEACHERS AND THE ARTS.

THIS MAY. SHE'S RETIRING, RETIRING AND I WANT TO SHARE MY APPRECIATION OF HER WORK AND DEDICATION TO OUR SCHOOLS OUR STUDENTS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, DR. STRADDLES AND I. ONE MORE ITEM FOR YOU COVERED IT OR NOT BECAUSE YOU RAN THROUGH A LITANY OF OF PERFORMING ARTS COMPONENTS THAT I BELIEVE MAY RIVER AS A PERFORMANCE COMING UP SOON INTO THE WOODS. YES.

THAT ALSO HAS ONE TAKE PLACE. AND SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE SUPER YES.

WE HAVEN'T MENTIONED THE STAGE . THANK YOU, DR. STRATUS.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT. HARD TEACHERS AND STAFF HAVE WORKED VERY, VERY HARD TO KEEP PERFORMING ARTS VIABLE IN THIS PANDEMIC. SO THANK YOU.

BUT MY QUESTION ACTUALLY DOES HAVE DR. GREGORY. THIS IS FOR THE FIRST PART

[01:00:02]

OF MASKS IN SCHOOL BUILDINGS. >> AND SO AT THE MOMENT WE'RE STILL GOVERNED BY THAT ALSO AS WELL AS IT IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE CDC. AND SO.

SO TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, WE STILL MATH REQUIREMENT IN OUR BUILDINGS ON OUR GOVERNMENT BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION, A STATE WHERE POLICY THAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO THEM BY THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. RIGHT. AND SO THAT I BELIEVE IS CERTAINLY IN EFFECT THROUGH THE SCHOOL YEAR UNLESS THEY CHANGE IT IN IN THE WEEKS AHEAD.

RIGHT. BUT FOR THE MOMENT IT'S INNOCENT.

MR. SMITH, I WAS GOING TO SAY THANKS FOR THE UPDATE AND THE REFERENCE TO THE ARTS BECAUSE ARTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT NOW TO AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THANK GOD THE DOT.

I'D LIKE TO THINK THAT OUR GUEST AND HIS STAFF WILL ALL THAT THEY'VE BEEN DOING BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S BEEN A HEART. IT'S BEEN A VERY HARD TIME TO MAKE ART AS POSSIBLE.

AND I KNOW I DO HAVE A COUSIN WHO JUST GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE OUT FROM FROM ART SCHOOL GRADUATE ON THE ARTS SCHOLARSHIP AND BECAUSE OF ARTS NOW YOU WILL BE AN ARTS PROFESSIONAL AND HE'S ALSO A YOUTHFUL KIND. HE SHOULD BE FOR OUR STUDENT BORN AND RAISED RIGHT HAND FOR CONNIE BECAUSE OF THE ARTS. HE WILL BE.

HE WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE MOVE ON TO ANOTHER VENTURE OF HIS LIFE BECAUSE OF THE ARTS AS WELL AS THE ONE AND ONLY KENNETH GLOVER WHO WAS PUT FROM BEAUFORT COUNTY ON THE MAP AS WELL.

WHEN IT COMES TO THE ARTS AS WITH FIRST WITH HER SINGING GIFT SO I WOULD NICE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT REPORT BECAUSE THE ARTS ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND I KNOW THERE ARE DEFINITE TIM TOMTOM I DID USED TO GO TO SOME OF THESE SHOWS WHERE THAT HAS BEEN EXEMPLIFIED TODAY SO OFTEN CLOSE TO THE ART ARTS DEPARTMENTS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH. >> THANK YOU. THAT REPORT, AS YOU KNOW, WAS BASED ON YOUR REQUEST FOR THAT INFORMATION. BUT IN ADDITION, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR THE ACCOLADES ABOUT IT. BUT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU LIKE YOU, I DIRECT THOSE ACCOLADES TO OUR TEACHERS AND AND TO OUR STAFF HERE IN THE DISTRICT.

AND JUST THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE TO SUPPORT TRYING TO MAINTAIN SEMBLANCE OF OF PERFORMING ARTS FOR OUR STUDENTS. BUT IT GOES BACK TO THE TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOMS AND THE WORK THEY DO WITH THE KIDS AND HOW THEY ULTIMATELY PULL IT OFF.

>> AND MAKE IT SUCCESSFUL. SO THE KIDS ARE DOING A FANTASTIC JOB.

YOU COULD SEE I WAS EXCITED TO SEE THAT VIDEO OF TODAY AND WATCH THE WAY THAT KIDS WERE TALKING ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE THIS YEAR NOW. CAMPBELL, THANK YOU.

IS THERE A PLAN FOR THE PLAN TO THE AUDIENCES BACK LIVES IN SOME OF THESE PERFORMANCES THAT THERE IS IN IN THE PLAN A PROVISION THAT SCHOOLS ARE PROVIDED? THEY THEY DO HAVE THAT OTHER LIMITED CAPACITY LIMITED SEEKING CAPACITY.

THEY HAVE BEEN OPERATING WITH THAT. AND I THINK TO THE SCHOOLS WHEN I DR. BRADLEY ACTUALLY ABOUT THREE THREE WEEKS AGO TO A IN IT HAS GONE TO GET A 67 PERCENT

CAPACITY. >> SIR. OK, YES.

SO I SAW THAT VERY QUICKLY THAT ALTHOUGH THIS IS A CONVERSATION ABOUT THE ARTS, I THINK IT SHOULDN'T BE LOST ON US THAT OUR SIZE BASED ATHLETIC DIRECTORS AND OUR DISTRICT ATHLETIC DIRECTOR PARTICULARLY MR. CARLOS CAVE HAS DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB AND POSITIONING

[01:05:03]

OUR ATHLETIC TEAMS DISTRICT WIDE HAVE DONE INCREDIBLY WELL. WE'VE HAD STUDENTS TO EARN SCHOLARSHIPS ON THE STRENGTH OF THEIR PERFORMANCES THIS YEAR EIGHT NINE MONTHS AGO WE HAD NO IDEA THAT BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN ATHLETICS THIS YEAR.

I JUST WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE WORK THAT ATHLETIC DIRECTORS HAVE BEEN DOING TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE AND TO ALSO STILL POSITION THEM TO BE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN AN ARRAY OF SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. AND WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, DR.

BRADLEY, THAT'S NOT ON THE AGENDA THAT WILL NOT BE IN OUR DISCUSSION TONIGHT.

IS RIGHT THERE WHICH IS PUT THAT BECAUSE I DO I WANT TO THANK DR. STRATOS.

WE TALKED ABOUT HOW WORRIED MASTERING VOCAL PERFORMANCES AND THAT THEY COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE ACTORS CAN SING MASCOTS WHICH IS HUGE, THEY WILL WEAR OFFSTAGE, BACKSTAGE, ET CETERA. BUT WHEN THEY'RE ON STAGE IN A SOCIALLY DISTANT AND THEY'RE IN AN OPEN AND SPACE, THEY'LL BE ALLOWED TO SAY BECAUSE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY WITH A MASK. AND I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE FACT THAT THE DISTRICT IS PLANTING A FLAG SAYING THAT ATHLETICS AND THE ARTS ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT WHICH I THINK IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE AND THAT'S HUGE FOR ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE MR. MEL CAMPBELL TO ACCOMPANY ME TO HILTON HEAD HIGH'S PERFORMANCE OF MATILDA THIS WEEKEND.

I'LL GET YOU TO GET A SLICE OF SOMETHING OUT THAT. >> I THINK YOU'VE QUITE FELT IT'S GOING TO BE GREAT. HI, DR. WISNIEWSKI. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU FOR THAT PRESENTATION AND I AM VERY EXCITED THAT I'M LAPPING SOME OF THE VIDEOS COMING UP IN THE DISTRICT AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE VIDEOS THAT ARE SHOWING LIKE HOW THEY'RE STAYING ENGAGED AND PERFORMING ART THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC.

[COVID – 19 “Coronavirus” Update (Part 2 of 2)]

I NEVER DO. WHAT I HAVE TO DO IS E-MAIL TO YOU THE COPY THAT.

WELL, THE COPY IT'S A LINK SO YOU'LL CLICK ON THE LINK. OK, AND YOU CAN GET IT THAT WAY OR I CAN HAVE MOLLY HELP YOU PROBABLY WHATEVER YOU WISH. YEAH, THAT'S GREAT.

I GUESS I CAN RECALL THAT THERE WAS A SPECIFIC STATEWIDE DIRECTED TO THE DISTRICT SO I WANTED A CHILD. YOU KNOW I LIVE ON A STATE LEVEL NOW.

I THINK YOU KNOW, THERE ARE NO OTHER QUESTIONS ON TERM. MR DOWNER, THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE COLBERT REPORT. I'M GETTING AN AWFUL LOT OF QUESTIONS CONSTITUENTS ABOUT GRADUATION AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT EACH GRADUATE WILL BE ABLE TO INVITE TO THE CEREMONY THAT I'M GETTING. SO ALL THE TIME. SO WE HAVE PROVIDED GUIDANCE TO OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR SCHOOLS BY NOW I BELIEVE HAVE COMMUNICATED THAT INFORMATION.

BUT TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR ANYBODY MIGHT BE LISTENING TODAY.

THE GUIDANCE THAT WE GAVE OUR SCHOOLS WAS EACH GRADUATE WOULD HAVE SIX TICKETS.

BUT BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT MANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE DOING, THEY'RE DOING FOR ALL OF US. SO WE BELIEVE WE CAN WE CAN DO THINGS.

AND AND WE'RE BELIEVES THAT OUR SCHOOLS AND DR. BRANTLY WILL FOLLOW WITH OUR HIGH SCHOOLS TOMORROW MORNING TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT EFFECT HAS BEEN COMMUNICATED.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DR. SCOTT. THERE'S NO NEED TO ANY FURTHER

[Update on Grant Writer]

AND LET ME TURN THE PAGE OVER TO THE GRANT WRITING GRANTS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH US RIGHT NOW AND BE RECOUNTING DURING WINTER 2019. YOU PUT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT COULD NOT GET A REQUEST FOR GRANT WRITERS THE FIRM RESEARCH ASSOCIATES WAS SELECTED NEAR A

[01:10:03]

BEAUFORT COUNTY IS NOW A GRANT RECIPIENT OF A MISSING 3 OR A TOTAL OF 2.8 MILLION DOLLARS TO

[Employee Bonuses]

[01:34:25]

[01:34:32]

[01:34:39]

[01:34:50]

[01:35:02]

MY QUESTION IS HOW COMPETENT ARE WE IN THE PROJECTED EXPENDITURE DOLLAR AMOUNT HERE? ONLY BECAUSE TYPICALLY WHEN WE HAVE DONE ADDITIONAL PROMOTIONS OR ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES BEING ADDED NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT INSIDE THE SITE AND SEE HOW COMFORTABLE WITH THESE FIGURES WITH THE FIGURES OF THE EXACT DOLLAR. RIGHT.

SO CHECHESSEE. >> SO I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT IN THE MOTION ROUND. SO THIS IS A EVER CHANGING COST BECAUSE EMPLOYEES LEAVING AND COMING IN. SO THERE MAY WE CAPTURE THE INFORMATION AT THE TIME OF A PARTICULAR MEETING. SO THERE MAY NEED TO BE SOME WIGGLE ROOM TO BE ABLE TO TO MANAGE THE FULL COST SO I DON'T EXPECT IT TO BE. I WOULD SAY ROUNDING TO THE NEAREST HUNDRED THOUSAND WOULD PROBABLY BE SATISFACTORY TO MANAGE THAT.

AND BECAUSE THAT COMMENT IN THAT REGARD THAT THEY GAIN. YOU MENTIONED THOSE THAT ARE LEAVING AND THEN ALSO THOSE THAT ARE COMING IN. I KNOW THAT THIS WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED BUT THEY GOODWILL GESTURE IF YOU WILL, TO THE STAFF AND TEACHERS WORKING SO HARD THROUGHOUT THE PANDEMIC. SO THE NEW ONES THAT ARE COMING INTO THE SYSTEM, I THINK THAT THAT MAY CREATE SOME ANIMOSITY . I DON'T I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S ACCURATE OR NOT, BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT REALLY NUMBER LOOKS LIKE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE THROUGH THE COMPLEX DESIGNED TO MAKE THAT COMMENT THAT YOU WOULD JUST ADD SHE SHE TO THE NEAREST HUNDRED THOUSAND. THERE IS A HUNDRED THOUSAND UP ON COME ON.

THANK YOU MR. MS. CROSBY. TONIGHT IS FULL OF LOTS OF GOOD NEWS . SO THIS THIS IS FABULOUS AND I CERTAINLY DIDN'T DRAW PROVIDING OUR HARD WORKING TEACHERS AND STAFF AND EMPLOYEES A ON ASSIGNMENT.

GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION. I'M IN THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION.

AUTHORIZE A SUPERINTENDENT OR PAY A ONETIME BONUS TO ACTIVE EMPLOYEES FROM THE GENERAL FUND OF OPERATING BUDGET IN THE FOLLOWING GRADES. WELL TIME TEACHERS AND OTHER STAFF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS PART TIME EMPLOYEES WORKING AN AVERAGE OF FIVE DAYS CURRY PER WEEK. ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOUR DAYS PER WEEK.

EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS. THREE DAYS PER WEEK. SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS TO TWO DAYS PER RIGHT. FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS AND ONE DAY PER WEEK.

TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS AVERAGE DAYS PER WEEK WILL BE CALCULATED FROM A TIME FRAME FROM A TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY ON TO APRIL 16TH 2021. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVES THE BUDGET TRANSFERS NECESSARY TO FUND PAYMENT OF THE BONUSES AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT WILL WILL NOT EXCEED RIBAUT 3 MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. THEY GET IT BUT THE MOTION WAS MADE BY ACTRESS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND A SECOND BITE MENTOR AND AN AWESOME THOUGH HE

MADE THE MOTION VISUALLY WANTED TO SPEAK ANY FURTHER ABOUT. >> I JUST THINK OF THE TWO CHOICES THAT THIS ONE ABOUT ALLOCATE SAY THE BONUS IN A WAY THAT MIGHT REFLECT THE WORK THAT PEOPLE HAVE PUT IN A LITTLE BIT BETTER. SO I THANK YOU FOR OFFERING THE TWO OPTIONS AND I SUPPORT THAT ONE. ALL RIGHT MR. DISTRIBUTOR ROUND SHARE. TANYA THE CHOICE OF AVERAGE DAYS PER WEEK.

IS BASED ON FEBRUARY 20 THROUGH APRIL 16TH. SO THAT ELIMINATES NEW HIRES FROM GETTING THESE BONUSES, RIGHT? YES, SIR.

>> SO THE MOTION IS DISCUSSED ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AND WHAT THAT WOULD BE.

THAT WOULD BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE LAST TWO MONTHS OF SOMEONE'S AVERAGE.

THEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE AN AVERAGE DAILY OR AN AVERAGE WEEKLY WORK PERIOD HAD TO WORK I'M SORRY. BUT ALSO CONTAINED ABOUT THE IF WE DO IT ON A CALCULATION BASED ON THE NUMBER OF HOURS WORK PER WEEK AND AND DAY'S WORK PER WEEK AND THIS WOULD BE VERY SPECIFIC CALCULATION THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO CAPTURE DATA OUT OF OUR SYSTEM AND HAVE NO ROOM

[01:40:04]

NOT GOING TO GET THIS BONUS. >> IS THAT TRUE? I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR IT.

>> SO NEW HIRES AND ELLIE'S LEFT EMPLOYEES ARE NOT GOING TO BE RECEIVING THIS.

SO IF YOU'RE NOT A YOU'RE NOT CURRENTLY EMPLOYED BY THE DISTRICT, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET THOSE GRAND. THE CAR BECAUSE YOU LOOK AT US SURPASS ALL OF OUR CONCERNS.

THANK YOU, MR. TRUMAN. I THINK THE CLARIFICATION MS. CROSBY WAS LOOKING FOR.

WAS AN EMPLOYEE WHO LEFT THE SYSTEM. WOULD NOT BE A PART OF THIS.

I THINK THAT'S YOUR QUESTION RIGHT? PARDON? YEAH. THAT'S THAT'S ONE HALF. THE OTHER WAS FOR NEW HIRES.

SO EITHER ONE OF THOSE GROUPS WILL BE GETTING THIS BONUS OR B PEOPLE THAT STUCK IT OUT.

YES. OK. DURING MY TRAINING AND THAT'S ALWAYS THINKING ALSO THAT THIS IS THE WAY TO ELIMINATING NEW HIRES FROM GETTING IT.

THEY WEREN'T HERE FOR THE WHOLE YEAR. ALL I HEAR IS THAT IT'S DUE TO THE EXTRA WORK THAT HAS TO BE BURDEN ON EMPLOYEES BASED ON VIRUS PANDEMIC AND SO ON.

I ALSO THINK IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT YOU HAVE A SET TIMEFRAME THAT'S ALREADY PASSED THAT'S IMPORTANT. AND I SEE THAT EIGHT WEEKS IT IS LEFT ON A CALENDAR.

AND SO THAT'S ONLY. IT'S KIND LOCALITY SUPPLEMENT. YOU DIVIDE UP YOU HAVE TO STILL BE WORKING FOR THE DISTRICT TO SEE THAT YOU CAN'T RECEIVE IT AFTER YOU'VE LEFT RIGHT.

YEAH. YEAH. THIS PROGRAM.

YEAH. WHICH IS MY QUESTION AS WELL. I GUESS WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS IT'S BEEN SO MUCH CONFUSION BECAUSE WE WANTED TO OFFER THESE BONUSES JANUARY AND THEN WE GOT STRUNG OUT BECAUSE OF ALL THAT FOOLISHNESS AND NOW WE'RE IN APRIL AND I'M JUST TRYING TO PERCEIVE HOW WE DEFINE ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AND MAKING SURE THAT THERE'S NO I CAN'T THINK OF ANY SCENARIOS BUT MAKING SURE THE ANSWERS PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY WERE CHEATED OUT OF BONUS OR THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE. NO, I MEAN NO ONE'S GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT GETTING A BONUS. THEY DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE UNDER ANY SCENARIO THAT WE'RE OVERLOOKING IN TERMS OF HOW WE DEFINE ACTIVE EMPLOYEES RIGHT NOW.

WELL, IN MY SCENARIO WOULD BE THAT AT THE TIME WE WERE RUNNING THE PAYROLL IS WHEN THERE EMPLOYEES HAVE A CODE THAT IS INDICATED OR STATUS CODE IS ACTIVE OR INACTIVE. AND SO THE POINT THAT WE'RE RUNNING THE PAYROLL IF THEY ARE ACTIVE THEY WON'T RECEIVE IT. IF THERE HAD BEEN INACTIVATED FOR WHATEVER REASON THEY WERE NOT. SO IT'S IT'S A SIMPLE CODE INSIDE OUR PAYROLL SOFTWARE THAT WOULD DETERMINE THAT. SO IT'S LIKE IT'S BINARIES YOU'RE EITHER ACTIVE OR WHAT? FOR EXAMPLE, JUST I JUST TRYING TO THINK BIG THROUGH OVER I HAVE A PROBLEM. SOMEONE WHO HAS A BE FOR MEDICAL REASONS.

I WAS WORKING IN JANUARY FEBRUARY DOWN. ARE THEY GOING TO SHOW UP IF ACTIVE OR INACTIVE IF THEY ARE STILL ON SOME SORT OF FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE OR LEAVE OR WHATEVER NEED IS IN PLACE? THEY'RE NOT THERE WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED AN ACTIVE EMPLOYEE. SO WE CAN ALL OF TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A DISCUSSION AND ARE FINANCE DEPARTMENT. WHAT TYPE OF SCENARIOS MIGHT FALL OUT OF THAT? WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THEY ARE ON PAID LEAVE OR OR PROTECTED LEAVE FOR SOME FEDERAL ACT OR EMPLOYMENT LAW ACT THEN WE CAN BE SURE THAT THEY ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THAT AS WELL AS DONE WITH A RECORD OF DISTRICT EMPLOYEES WHO KNOW THAT THEY DIDN'T GET WHAT THEY WERE. IT'S LIKE THEIR MR SMITH. OH NO, NO.

THIS IS A GOOD THING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GETTING IT BUT I REMEMBER WHEN WE FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS FOR HOW WE WERE BORN ABOUT THE METHOD OF PAYING FOR IT.

I REMEMBER I DIDN'T SUPPORT THAT BECAUSE MY MOM ONCE AGAIN TOLD ME IT WAS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER AND WE HAD ABOUT MAYBE 35 EMPLOYEES A COUPLE OF EMPLOYEES THAT WERE LEFT OUT DUE DUE TO CERTAIN DIFF. DOO DOO DOO DOO TO CERTAIN DIFFICULTIES OUR TECHNICAL DIFFERENCES. SO YOU KNOW AND WISH I WAS WHEN I WAS AT IT KIND OF ENDED UP THAT NIGHT WHEN I WAS. IT BOTHERED ME SO MUCH.

IT WAS MAYBE MAYBE ABOUT FIFTY THOUSAND HOURS OR SOMETHING THAT ALL PROBABLY MORE LESS THAN THAT THAT WE WERE NOT GIVING OUT. AND YOU KNOW THAT.

WELL, THAT BEING SAID EVEN THOUGH EVEN FOR THE ONE DAY 200 I'M STILL BALLIN WITH THAT AND AT THIS TIME I MEAN YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO GIVE WE'RE GONNA GIVE THEM EVERY WEEK WE'VE JUST GIVEN THEM WITHOUT US TYPING OR NOT GIVING IT TO THEM. YOU KNOW, SO YOU KNOW, I JUST

[01:45:03]

I'M BALANCING SUPPORT THIS MOTION THAT I DIDN'T SUPPORT. I SUPPORT THE LAST ONE SO I'M ONLY GONNA BE SUPPORTING THIS ONE IS IT? WE SHOULD DO WELL.

I MEAN I MEAN TO ME THIS IS BECAUSE THIS KIND OF PUTTING A BAD TASTE IN SOME MY EMPLOYEES MOUTH. I'VE HEARD FROM SOME OF MY CONSTITUENTS ABOUT THAT.

THANK YOU. >> I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE CROWD. >> KELLY, YOUR MOTION I BELIEVE THE LAST NUMBER SHOULD BE 29 SHOULDN'T HAVE THOSE OTHER DIGITS THERE.

RIGHT NOW YOU SAID TREASURY SECRETARY. YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT TO BE THREE POINT TWO MILLION. YEAH, EXACTLY. AND I I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY AND I WAS GOING TO ASK FOR THE MOTION TO BE REPEATED AND NOW I SEE IT ON THE SCREEN.

SO THESE THESE PEOPLE HAVE THESE PEOPLE HAVE WORKED FROM FEBRUARY 20TH OF TWENTY TWENTY NOT TWENTY TWENTY ONE RIGHT IS IT. THAT'S HOW YOU'RE GOING TO CALCULATE THAT THEIR TIME OK FOR PART TIME EMPLOYEES PART TIME EMPLOYEES.

OK HOURS WORKED DURING THAT TIME AND AVERAGED OVER THE EIGHT WEEK PERIOD.

AND IF WE COME IN WITH A ONE DAY WEEK TWO DAYS FOR WEEK 3 THEY'LL FALL IN THE VARIOUS CATEGORIES OK. SO. AND JUST TO CLARIFY AGAIN.

SO ANYBODY WHO AGAIN MY MY BELIEF ABOUT THIS IS THIS IS A REWARD FOR PEOPLE THAT HAD TO GO THE EXTRA MILE AND DO THE EXTRA WORK DURING COMBAT . SO ANYBODY WHO STARTS TOMORROW ,YOU KNOW, THEY THEY WEREN'T HERE FOR THE DURATION AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ME THAT IT'D BE QUITE FAIR FOR THEM TO GET THE SAME THEM TO GET THIS REWARD BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T PUT INTO THE ENDURANCE TEST. SO THIS IS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE EMPLOYED AS OF TODAY, CORRECT. AS OF THE DAY YOU CAME OUT MAY 14, WE WILL RUN THE PAYROLL AND THEY'LL BE IN AN ACTIVE STATUS AT THAT TIME. SO ANYBODY GOT HIRED TODAY WHICH IS MAY APRIL 30TH AND WE'RE HERE TILL MAY 14TH. JUST THAT SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME WOULD STILL GET THE BONUS. THAT IS ACCURATE IF THEY'RE ACTIVE IN THE TIME OF THE

PAYMENT THEN THEY WOULD RECEIVE IT. >> YES, FRESH I'M GOING TO USE

WE WE WANT TO SAY SOMETHING MORE POPPY. >> WELL, TO ME THAT JUST DOESN'T SEEM QUITE RIGHT. THAT'S YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'D WANT TO SPECIFY THAT THEY'RE EMPLOYED AS OF THIS MOMENT. I DON'T KNOW HOW THE OTHER

BOARD MEMBERS FEEL BUT TO ME IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM QUITE RIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU. I'M SURE. I'M NOW CONFUSED BECAUSE I THOUGHT I THOUGHT WE HAD SAID THAT WE WERE WITH THIS CALCULATION WERE ELIMINATING NEW HIRES. BUT THE ANSWER TO KATHY'S QUESTION MAKES ME THINK THAT'S THAT'S NOT TRUE. NOW SO I'D LIKE TO GET CLARIFICATION ON THAT.

THE OTHER THING IS A KIND OF A SIMPLE QUESTION IF WE HAVE PART TIME EMPLOYEES WHO WORK AN AVERAGE OF FIVE DAYS A WEEK, HOW ARE THEY NOT FULL TIME? THERE ARE I CAN ONLY THINK OF ONE EXAMPLE AND AND I DO NOT KNOW THE PERSONNEL REASONING FOR THE STATUS OF ACTIVE VERSUS HER AND PART TIME VERSUS FULL TIME. SO I WOULD HAVE TO RESEARCH PARTICULARLY EMPLOYER E TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WHY THEY'RE IN THAT STATUS.

DON'T KNOW. YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON IT.

THERE WAS JUST A MATHEMATICAL QUESTION THAT JUMPED OUT AT ME THAT I WOULD REALLY NEED TO CLARIFY THAT. DO HIRES WERE NOT GOING TO BE SUBJECT TO.

[01:50:02]

AND NOT NECESSARILY PROVIDED TO SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN HERE A MONTH WITHIN THAT WINDOW.

RIGHT. SO I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE STICKING POINTS THEY HAVE.

I THINK THE OTHER ONE IN THE SPA MAKE SURE THEY'RE TAKING CARE OF THOSE.

SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT WOULD HELP YOU IF THE BOARD GAVE ME THE DATES RATHER THAN THE WAY IT IS SAID AND DONE. WELL, I BELIEVE THAT THE STEP INCREASE IS OFFERED AND HAS LANGUAGE THAT INCLUDES ANY EMPLOYEES EMPLOYED AT LEAST BY MARCH 1ST THE SCHOOL YEAR.

SO THEN ANY OR OR NO LATER THAN NOW. SO ANYONE LEAVING AFTER MARCH 1ST WOULD NOT RECEIVE A STEP INCREASE I BELIEVE. SO PERHAPS THERE COULD BE LANGUAGE THAT THEY WOULD BE EMPLOYED AS OF A CERTAIN DATE IF WE SELECT GIVING DATE THEN THAT AND PUT A TIMEFRAME THEY MAY HAVE. WE MAY BE PAYING RETROACTIVE PAYMENTS TO FOLKS THAT HAVE LEFT OR MUCH EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND ARE NO LONGER ACTIVE IN OUR SYSTEM. SO IT BECOMES A BIT COMPLICATED BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN WORK WITH IF WE HAVE A EMPLOYEE AS OF MARCH 1ST OR SOME DATE THAT RESPECT THAT THAT WOULD ELIMINATE THOSE THAT STARTED AFTER THAT DATE AND CAME NOW AND IS STILL HERE BUT WE HAVE A DEMOGRAPHIC IN THAT TIME IN AGAIN. IN YOUR OPINION, DO YOU BELIEVE VALUE ADDED AN AMENDMENT THAT STAYS ON THE LAST SENTENCE? I BELIEVE THE SECOND TO LAST SENTENCE FINDING ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AND AVERAGE DAYS PER WEEK WILL BE BASED ON THE TIMEFRAME FROM THOSE SAME DATE. WHAT SORT OF THINGS YOU BECAUSE THEN IT'S GOING TO BE EMPLOYEES. YOU'RE PULLING THE TIMEFRAME FOR A PART TIME EMPLOYEES AS WELL. THE ACTIVITY OF FINDING ACTIVE EMPLOYEES IS THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY BINDING. IT'S DIVIDING INTO A TIMEFRAME AND ALSO A RECENT TIME FRAME AS WELL. IF YOU REPEAT ONE SENTENCE DOESN'T GET ANY LONGER.

>> YES, THOSE SECOND CLASS SENTENCES YOU WOULD JUST ADD ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AND AVERAGE DAYS PER WEEK WILL BE BASED ON THE TIMEFRAME FROM AND GIVES THAT POCKET OR THAT WINDOW.

>> KEEP IT SAME TIMEFRAME THAT SAME TIME. YES.

SO AVERAGE DAYS PER WEEK ACTIVE ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AND AVERAGE DAYS PER WEEK WILL BE BASED ON THAT MIGRATING FROM A DEFINING MOMENT IN MY IN THE PAST MONTH TO IS THAT.

SO THIS IS AN EIGHT WEEK WINDOW AND THIS IS A YOU KNOW THAT'S LIKE ONE QUARTER.

I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD. YOU KNOW, WE'LL GET INTO THE NITTY GRITTY HERE BUT IT SEEMS LIKE IT REALLY SHOULD BE BASED ON AT LEAST, YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

WELL, I KNOW THERE ARE SORRY GUYS. I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THAT.

I JUST I KNOW THAT TOMMY WAS TALKING ABOUT ACTIVE VERSUS INACTIVE IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT'S WHAT CAPTURED THOSE THAT ARE CURRENTLY ACTIVE AND THEN MAKE AN ASSUMPTION THOUGH THAT THEY HAVE BEEN WITH, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT 20 20. BUT I THINK THAT IT KIND OF FROM A PROCEDURAL OPERATIONAL STANDPOINT MIGHT HELP THE PROBLEM.

I DON'T KNOW. SO THAT'S WHY FOR THERE IS A LOT TO RING IN THE SPRING SESSION. SO THAT THIS THESE TIMEFRAMES WOULD CAPTURE THAT IF WE SPREAD IT OVER THE REST OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MUCH FEWER PEOPLE WHO QUALIFY FOR THAT STIPEND BECAUSE THERE ARE SPORADIC COME IN SPORADICALLY

[01:55:03]

THAT SORT OF THING. SO IT MAY ELIMINATED ACTUALLY SOME SOME OF THOSE YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE A SUGGESTION. WE'LL DEFINITELY GO AHEAD. I THINK ONE THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS A MINIMUM LIKE THAT HAVE BEEN ACTIVE FOR 90 DAYS OR A PERIOD OF TIME SO THAT CAPTURES PEOPLE THAT ARE SPREAD. BECAUSE I'M ASSUMING IF YOU'RE IN AND OUT TUTORING WHICH YOU DON'T GO ACTIVE, INACTIVE, ACTIVE ENOUGH TO SAY CAN WE SAY THAT I'VE BEEN ACTIVE FOR A MINIMUM OF 90 DAYS OR SIX MONTHS OR HOWEVER LONG THE BOARD WANTS TO LOOK AT IT. YOU'RE NOT GETTING PEOPLE THAT HAVE ONLY BEEN IN THE DISTRICT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME AS OPPOSED TO DAYS AND I DON'T THINK YOU'VE MET WITH THE WHOLE YEAR

MAYBE SIX MONTHS. >> MR MALCOLM. I CAN FIND A CRISIS RESPONSE.

OH, SARA STERN EMPLOYEES VS. THE PART TIME EMPLOYEES THAT CHRISTIANS AND SO WE JUST DEFINED ONE OF THEM VERSUS A FULL TIME EMPLOYEE ALL ACTIVE. WE CALL IT ELIGIBLE FOR VOLUNTARY KNOW BUT A STIPEND OF 1000 AND THEN THEY REGISTER PART TIME BOYS BECAUSE YOU BROUGHT UP ANOTHER POINT THE TIME THAT DESERTED SOME PART TIMERS OR EARLY DURING THE YEAR VARIOUS RADICAL AND THEY WOULDN'T QUALIFIED AND DOESN'T NUMBER OF HOURS.

>> WELL, SOMEBODY WHO WAS PART TIMERS MAY HAVE PUT IN ENOUGH HOURS THE AVERAGE DAY FOR ME TO GO BACK ON THAT TIME AND ALSO THEY PROBABLY AS ESSENTIAL DURING THE TIME OF SPENT EVERY WEEK SINCE THE LAST EIGHT YEARS. THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE.

SO THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING PERHAPS WE NEED TO FIND LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC.

WHO'S GOING TO GET THESE AND WHO WILL STOP THIS BUILDING IN ? THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. MISS CROSBY, THE QUESTION. I'M OF THEM.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHERE DO YOU GET THE TOTAL NUMBER? WHAT WAS THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES? FROM WHAT? LISTENING TO WHAT THEY IMMEDIATELY SAW THE MEMO. IT WAS ACTIVE EMPLOYEES ASSIGNED A CERTAIN DATE.

WHEN I I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE THAT I CALL THE DATA THAT WAS PRIOR TO OUR FIRST DISCUSSION WHICH WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS. SO THAT IN THE BIGGEST CONFUSION. I THINK THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS NOT IF WE HAVE AN EMPLOYER THAT WON'T EVEN 30 DAYS IN. I MEAN I'M SORRY ABOUT DEFINITELY WANTING THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN SO WE HAVE JUST COME UP WITH THAT TRANSFUSION. YOU KNOW, I WOULD WANT TO LOOK AT ACTUAL PLACEMENTS IN 20 16 AS IT'S BECAUSE WE'RE ALREADY MAKING THAT CALCULATION TO CALCULATION CALCULATING HOW MANY DAYS PER WEEK THERE WAS WORKING.

>> SO WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME FOR DETERMINING WHO'S GOING TO GET ALONG THE STOCK IS SO.

SO TWO SEPARATE THINGS. THE FULL TIME STAFF IF YOU IF WE DON'T IF WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COVERING THOSE FOLKS WHO HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED AS A CERTAIN DATE AND WE'RE HERE BEFORE A CERTAIN DATE, THEN I WOULD RECOMMEND HAVING LANGUAGE TO THE EFFECT OF .

AND WE'RE EMPLOYED AS OF X DATE MARCH 1ST MARCH APRIL 1ST WHEREVER THAT DATE MAY BE.

SO WE WANT TO PUT A BEGINNING DATE ON IT BUT WE PUT AN END DATE THAT THEY HAD TO BE EMPLOYED BY. RIGHT. THEY STARTED BEFORE THIS DATE.

AS FAR AS BEING PART TIME EMPLOYEES GO, I WAS TRYING TO ATTEMPTING TO CAPTURE IN THE MOST RECENT ACTIVITY THAT WAS BEING PRODUCED IN BY OUR PART TIME WORKERS AND SO THAT PROVIDED THE BEST AMOUNT OF INFORMATION THAT I TO ALL KIND PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTIVELY WORKING. AND SO A BRIEF TIMEFRAME, YOU KNOW, RESULTED IN FORTY SEVEN EMPLOYEES WHO WERE ACTIVELY WORKING DURING THAT PERIOD. AND SO MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO PUT AS IT HAS OF DATE ON IT MY ACTIVE FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. AND I ASK ONE QUESTION.

YES. SO WE SEE THE MARCH 1ST CUTOFF DATE.

WILL THAT BE IN LINE WITH THE STEP BEING DISCUSSED? I HAVE INQUIRED.

[02:00:06]

INCREASE AND THE LANGUAGE WITH THAT. >> I HAVE TEXTED FIVE STAFF AND I'M HERE TRYING TO CAPTURE THAT INFORMATION BUT I DON'T. I WOULD LIKE TO ALIGN IT WITH WITH BOTH. ALTHOUGH I CAN CERTAINLY TRY TO GET THAT HAVE A GOOD IDEA OR MAYBE A GOOD IDEA. WHAT WE WANT TO PUSH COMPANIES AND MAKE A VOTE ON IT AND OUR WORK SECTION WHICH IS INVESTIGATING IT IS THREE DAYS. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE'RE ON THE SAME PAGE ABOUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO. BUT THE WORD YES IS PROBLEMATIC AND I THINK MAYBE POSTPONE IT TO THAT SPECIFIC TIME. MAYBE THE THING TO DO POSTPONE THE MOTION THAT WE CAN HAVE THE WORDING WITHOUT ALIGNING WITH WHAT I TEMPERS AND SAME THING MAYBE FOR THE SECOND GRADE EXACTLY WHERE YOU KNOW WHAT THE BOARDS WILL SECOND BENEFITS ABORTION. I DON'T MAKE THE MOST MONEY. SO CAN SOMEBODY MAKE THAT MEETING? I KNOW THAT WE POSTPONE THIS VOTE AND TELL OUR WORK SESSION

ON FRIDAY, APRIL 24. >> ALL RIGHT. SO JAIME BAY, THE MOTION TO POSTPONE THE YEAH. POSTPONE OUR DECISION ON THAT REGARDING EMPLOYEE BONUSES FOR THREE DAYS AND DAVID DIRECTOR SACKING. SO IS THERE ANY FURTHER NEVER PUT THEIR HAND DOWN BECAUSE IT'S VERY HARD TO TELL WHERE WE ARE NOW.

MY HANDS. OK, SO BRIAN WAS MAKING THIS UP OK.

SO IF YOU WANT TO NOW SPEAK ABOUT THE POST COLUMN AND MOTION WE'LL JUST GO IN AND ORDER MISSPOKE. RIGHT. YEAH.

I ACTUALLY I IN MY VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF POSTPONING AND TABLING AND GET IT ALL TOGETHER.

BUT I KNOW THAT PEOPLE HAVE THIS DATE CIRCLED ON THE CALENDAR FOR A WHILE.

OF APRIL 16TH AND I FEEL LIKE I DON'T I THINK WE CAN MAKE THIS DECISION TONIGHT IF IT'S JUST MY AND THEY I THINK WE CAN COME UP WITH A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION AND GIVE THE TEACHERS ARE WAITING TO HEAR THIS ON APRIL 16TH BECAUSE WE KIND OF DRAG IT OUT NOT OUR FAULT. SO I WOULDN'T SUPPORT POSTPONING IT.

IT'S FRIDAY. MR. EARL CAMPBELL TOLD BAR EMPLOYEES THAT WAS EMPLOYED IN THIS DISTRICT IN MARCH LAST UP DRIVE DOWN? I DON'T THINK SO.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS MARCH 1 OF THIS YEAR FROM THOMAS CROSBY TO SAY HE'S CONCERNS IF YOU'VE

GOT SOME CONFUSION AFTER AGAIN . >> I MAY HAVE A SOLUTION BUT GOING TO HAVE THE FAMILY OFF LUKE IF MORE CAN DETERMINE WHAT'S A SET NUMBER WORK DAYS FOR ACTIVE EMPLOYEES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE INCLUDED IN THIS BUT THEN IT'S A TWO STEP PROCESS.

SO THE FIRST THING IS WHAT'S A SET NUMBER OF DAYS THE BOARD IS INTERESTED TO MAKE SURE THAT SOMEBODY WOULD RECEIVE THE BONUS. THE SECOND PART OF THE EQUATION IS THAT TIME YOU WOULD USE THAT TWO WEEK WINDOW TO CALCULATE THE AVERAGES.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? NO, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHAT THAT REALLY OUTLINES LOST JOHN.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING? YES, SIR. I HAVE NEW INFORMATION.

I EVEN THOUGHT IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE STEP INCREASE THE EMPLOYER HAS TO HAVE WORKED 120 DAYS AGO. AND THAT IS WE'RE IN THE TRIAL NO PRIOR HISTORY OR SO POINT THIS OF CANNOT WAIT. NOW THAT'S RIGHT. SO I THINK WE WE NEED TO LOTION . YEAH EXACTLY. ONLY MY POST CALLING IT WAS TRICIA'S NOTION ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE BONUSES TABLE 20 THIRD OR NOT.

SO IS THERE ANY. SO HANDS DOWN PLEASE. DOES ANYBODY WANT TO SAY ANYTHING MORE ABOUT POSTPONING TONY GENERATION? I THINK WE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT

[02:05:01]

I THINK WE ABSOLUTELY CAN. BUT ALSOLARIFY RIGHT TO VOTE ON THIS.

THEN WE'RE GOING TO IF FIRST AND THEN IF WE GO WITH 100 WE'LL NEED AN AMENDMENT TO THE OTHER MOTION AND THEN VOTE ON THAT MOTION. ALL RIGHT.

OKAY. SURE. ONCE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS, THIS WOULD HAVE TO BE THIS WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT WE NEED A MAJORITY FROM THE COAST

PARLIAMENT TO PASS. >> THE NEXT IS MR. SMITH AS I WAS ASKED.

>> I DON'T SEE EYE TO WRITE WHAT YOU WOULD DEFINITELY SAY IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS MODEST PLAN TO SPEND TEACHERS SPRING BREAK. SO I THINK THAT WE CAN MAKE

THIS WORK TONIGHT. >> SUPPORT BY CALLING IT IS WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? OBVIOUSLY FOUR DAYS THREE DAYS WEEK TWO DAYS IN DAYS. WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? I CAN'T WITH YOU THAT THE PROBLEM IS NO BIGGIE. SERGEANT, IF YOU WORK FIVE DAYS YOU CAN PAY FOR IT ALL WEEK. RIGHT. IF YOU DON'T IF YOU WORK FOR

THAT MATTER OUT OF THE CHAIR THERE'S MOTION ON THE FLOOR. >> I DESPISE ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT POSTPONE. THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT NOW. AND THEN WE CAN GO TO YOURS.

SO WE'LL CUT THE BUDGET IN FIRST TO BURROW CAMPBELL ALL KNOW MR. MILLER. I THINK THAT EVERYBODY IS OK.

THE ONE IN MELBOURNE WAS THE NO. CORRECT.

ALL RIGHT. >> SO THE NOTION OF BAIL ONE 10 MINUTE DISTRIBUTOR WAS THE ONE.

YES. NO. FROM WHAT MR. EARL CAMPBELL SAID IS QUITE LEGITIMATE QUESTION ABOUT THOSE TWO THE ORIGINAL MOTION.

SO I DON'T HAVE THAT UP THERE SEEMS TO ME YOUR OWN DESCRIPTION THAT THE WHOLE THE WHOLE QUESTION OF THE WHOLE ISSUE IS WE WANT EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE WORKED A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS THIS SCHOOL YEAR. I MEAN WAYNE 2021 TO BE THE ONES THAT RECEIVED THE BONUSES AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT HAS TO BE DECIDED IS IS A FULL TIME EMPLOYEE HAVE TO HAVE WORKED 120 DAYS THAT WILL BE LIKE FOUR LINES OR I GUESS WOULD ACTUALLY BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TURN THIS

180 180 DAYS. >> OK. SO SOMEONE TWENTY POINT NINETY TWO THIRDS THAT'S ABOUT 230 AND THEN I GUESS YOU'RE PART TIME EMPLOYEES WOULD BE A PERCENTAGE OF THAT. RIGHT. SO FOUR DAYS WOULD BE JUST A FACTOR. EXACTLY. I NEED YOU TO GO FURTHER.

I THINK I'M THAT WOULD BE PART OF THE PLAYS OR STALLED. I'M STUCK ON THIS ACTIVE INACTIVE ALL PART TIME EMPLOYEES ARE ACTIVE. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND.

SO IF WHEN MY METHOD CHECK AND I MAKE AN AMENDMENT THAT I THINK WILL CLARIFY I THINK ALL WE HAVE TO DO HERE IS DEFINE ACTIVE EMPLOYEES. RIGHT.

THAT'S WE'RE TRYING TO DO SO IF WE HAVE AN AMENDMENT. DO YOU MIND IF I DO? NO, GO AHEAD. SO I THINK THAT WE CAN AMEND THE MOTION AND I WOULD PUT IT PROBABLY AFTER THE SUPERINTENDENT TODAY AT ONE TIME GOT US TWO ACTIVE EMPLOYEES. YEAH, I THINK I'D LIKE TO I THINK WE SHOULD ADD IS EMPLOYED AS WE'RE EMPLOYED JUST TERMED ACTIVE ON JANUARY 4TH BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE KIND OF MADE

[02:10:02]

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS OF THE TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY ONE SCHOOL YEAR.

RIGHT. AND THEN THE REST STAYS THE SAME FROM THE GENERAL FUND BUT THE. SO ACTIVE BOYS COMMON DEFINED AS ANY EMPLOYEE WHO HAS BEEN ACTIVE ACTIVELY EMPLOYED FOR A HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS DURING THE TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY ONE SCHOOL YEAR IS GOT A SECOND OK. MR. EARL CAMPBELL SECOND TIME IS NOT SECOND IN ANY OTHER OPERATIONS NOT TRYING TO DETERMINE WHEN THAT 120 A DAY.

IF THEY STARTED THIS SCHOOL YEAR WHEN WOULD THEY HAVE STARTED.

AND IT WOULD BE PRETTY EARLY IN THE SCHOOL YEAR. SO YOU MAY NOT CAPTURE OR SOMEONE WHO SAY HALFWAY CAN TO WHERE THEY STARTED PACKAGING OR WE CAN GO THE JANUARY 1ST ENTRY

OR EVEN SO 120 DAYS IS MORE THAN HALF OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. >> SO IT THINK WE'RE STARTING EARLY OR EARLY. LAWYER THANK YOU. THAT WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE IN THAT SCENARIO. I MEAN SARA IT COULD BE WE'RE ALL TRYING TO JUMP IN.

LA SO I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I MEAN YOU'RE INEVITABLY GOING TO GET SOMEONE IN HERE WHO SAID HUNDRED NINETEEN DAYS, RIGHT? RIGHT. YOU KNOW.

RIGHT. SO WOULD IT BE BETTER TO SAY TO TURN IT TURN IT UPSIDE DOWN RIGHT AND SAY UM PLAY THE REVERSE RIGHT THERE. UH WOULD HAVE BEEN EMPLOYED UM WELL OBVIOUSLY WITH WITHIN. RIGHT. SO.

SO YOU'RE NOT LOOKING TO APPLY THIS TO SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN IN 30 DAYS.

RIGHT. YOU'RE NOT LOOKING TO APPLY IT IS SOMEBODY WHO'S BEEN HERE 60 DAYS. RIGHT. WHAT IS WHAT IS THE OBSTACLE AND WHAT IF THEY HAVEN'T PROPOSED A REFERENDUM? WHAT IF WE SAY SAME ABOUT 20 AND THEN HAVE A SEPARATE MOTION WHERE WE DETERMINE THAT THERE WILL BE AN ARBITRATION PROCESS FOR PEOPLE THAT FEEL THAT THEY DO QUALIFY SO THAT THEY CAN BRING THEIR HOME, YOU KNOW,

WHATEVER TO THE STUDENT, PROVIDE SOME LEVEL DISCRETION. >> NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

NOT I'M SORRY. ALL RIGHT. >> SO LET'S TALK ABOUT IT FIRST . IT'S LIKE I MEAN I AM AM SIX BUT IN THE END OF THIS YEAR WHY

YOU WANT TO COMMENT ABOUT THE THIS GETS. >> I JUST SAY LET'S GO BACK TO

OUR ORIGINAL INTENT. >> OUR INTENT WAS TO REWARD THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WITH US THIS WHOLE TIME. AND WHEN WE FIRST TALKED ABOUT THAT, THAT WAS ON JANUARY 4.

CORRECT. SO MAYBE ALL THE EMPLOYEES THAT WERE WITH US AND OUR CURRENTLY ACTIVE THEY WERE WITH US. ON JANUARY 4TH AND ARE CURRENTLY ACTIVE.

MAYBE THAT WOULD ENCAPSULATE EVERYONE. BUT THAT WAS OUR INTENT.

OUR INTENT WAS TO, YOU KNOW, GIVE TRUDEAU'S ENDS AND FINANCIAL BONUS TO THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY HAD TO CHANGE WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND WORK HARDER.

AND WE MADE THAT YOU KNOW, WE FIRST STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS ON JANUARY 4.

SO THAT WOULD BE MY SUGGESTION . I'M SURE SURE.

THEY'RE STILL CURRENTLY ACTIVE ALSO. SO I'M AMENDMENTS ONE TIME BONUS TO CURRENTLY ACTIVE EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE ACTIVE FOR 120 DAYS. SO THEY HAVE TO CUT THEY HAVE TO BE TURNED DOWN ALSO.

AND THAT ELIMINATES THE FOLKS THAT DID ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY AND THEN LEFT BECAUSE I WASN'T THERE. THERE WASN'T THE ORIGINAL INTENT.

THE INTENT WAS TO REWARD THOSE FOLKS THAT STUCK IT OUT THERE. THAT'S WHY I MADE THE ORIGINAL

MOTION SO IT WAS NEVER ON A LOOP. >> WE NEED TO WAIT A SECOND.

STATED THAT YOU AMENDED THE AMENDMENT IN THIS STATEMENT. I DIDN'T HEAR YOU, MR. AUSTRALIAN CHAIR. OUR HAD ONE TIME BONUS TO CURRENTLY GIVE EMPLOYEES BLOOD

[02:15:06]

QUITE SHORT. >> DON'T CALL BACK VERSUS SAY 10.

DAVID I THOUGHT YOU SAID CURRENTLY ACTIVE AND DETERMINED TO HAVE WORKED 120 DAYS.

>> RIGHT. YEAH RIGHT. YOU GUYS PART OF THE SCOPE PART OF THE MOTION AND I SECONDED IT. ALL RIGHT, MR. SMITH.

>> I'M STILL CONCERNED EVEN THOUGH WE'VE CHANGED THEM THE MOTION THAT YOU KNOW, WE'RE TELLING PEOPLE THIS IS HOW WE ARE. WE APPRECIATE THEM BY GIVING THEM THIS. THIS HAS A BONUS PAY HIGHER. WE WE WE WANT TO CALL THEN HE KNOW IT CONCERNS ME THAT WE GIVE A SUMMARY BUT TWO MORE HOURS VERSUS THREE HOURS FOR AN HOUR PER DAY IF YOU WORK THAT REVIEW REVIEW BRIEF THEN THEY REVIEW PUTS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HAD THEIR AT RISK WHOEVER IS ONE DAY OR TWO DAY OR 40 THE FARTHEST YOU'VE ACTUALLY TOOK THE INITIAL STEP THAT'S ACTUALLY STEP FOOT IN THE BUILDING OR TO DO SOMETHING TO SAY THAT YOU AND YOU CAN PUT ME IN THE GAME. COACH, I I WANT TO SUPPORT SUPPORTED THE SCHOOL DISTRICT SO IT CAN KIND OF WAS STILL TEARING AT ME THAT WE'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT A 2 AND 3 AND 4 OUT VERSUS DURING ONE OF THE SIDE GIVING WITHOUT LOSS.

I MEAN YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT WE WERE THAT THAT'S RIGHT.

THAT'S HOW WE WERE SHOWING OUR APPRECIATION OF THE BONUS. I MEAN TEND TO WANT TO RIGHT.

>> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE AMENDMENT AND I BELIEVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT WAS SORT OF COMBINED WITH THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE BEEN DETERMINED TO BE ACTIVE FOR 120 DAYS DURING THAT TWENTY ONE, YOU KNOW, GLOSSARY.

BUT ONCE WE WERE BORN IN THIS THIS TALKING ABOUT MR. SMITH. >> SO BUT ONCE YOU LEARN THIS IS ONCE WE LEARN THAT THAT'S THAT'S ALSO EVERYTHING, CORRECT?

>> SO I'M TELLING THE PEOPLE OF NATION. >> YEAH.

SO NO IT'S NOT ON THE SCREEN THE WAY IT SHOULD. WE'VE GOT THE ENTIRE THING.

NO NO BLENDED TOGETHER. NO PART OF THAT. IT SEEMS LIKE MAYBE THE BOARD DOCS SOFTWARE. COULD WE PLEASE HAVE. YES.

THE AMENDMENTS TO THE AMENDED AMENDMENT. SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE VOTING ON THE AMENDED AMENDED AMENDMENT. THAT'S IT. YES.

OK. TELL YOU WANT. SO DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE EVERYTHING OUT AFTER ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS DURING TWENTY TWENTY ONE SCHOOL YEAR

AND REPEAT YOUR MOTION ONCE AGAIN HE ADDED. >> CURRENTLY ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AREN'T CURRENTLY ACTIVE EMPLOYEES AT OK SO WHAT YOU JUST WHY DON'T WE JUST A VOTE ON THOUGH THE AMENDMENT THE SECOND AMENDMENT WAS CURRENTLY ACTIVE EMPLOYEES WITH THIS

EFFORT. >> SO FOR CLARIFICATION THIS VOTE IS JUST TO VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT NOT THE ACTUAL MOTION IS TO VOTE OFF THE SECOND AMENDMENT.

>> CORRECT. PRESIDENT AND EVEN AS I'M CORRECT THE WAY ROBIN HAS IT THIS WAY. YES. OK.

SO LET'S VOTE ON THAT. VOTING IS OPEN AND THIS MR. WILLIAM SMITH, HOW ARE YOU

VOTING? >> THANK YOU, KATHY. >> MY GOD.

YEAH, I WASN'T ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ARE HERE. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS.

[02:20:03]

>> THAT'S. THAT'S THE FIRST AMENDMENT THAT'S COMING BACK.

NO, NO, NO. WE'RE CURRENTLY THE RIBAUT 120. YEAH EXACTLY.

ALL RIGHT. SO THIS PASSES UNANIMOUSLY NOW THAT WE'RE GOING TO THE SECOND AMENDMENT. EXCUSE ME THE FIRST AMENDMENT. I APOLOGIZE.

AND ROBIN, CAN YOU PLEASE GO BACK TO YOUR WRITING MOTION A MINUTE? SO I NEED TO ADD CURRENTLY TO THIS ONE. NOW THIS IS PASSED, CORRECT? THAT WOULD BE CURRENTLY ACTIVE EMPLOYEES UNION AND THE REST ABOUT 120 DAYS I THINK FOR THE

EMPLOYEE ONCE IN THE CALENDAR. >> BUT THAT PART YOU DON'T PUT IT IN THE CURRENTLY SO IT WOULD

BE CURRENTLY ACTIVE EMPLOYEES. >> SO I THINK YOU WANT TO END IT WHERE IT SAYS TWENTY TWENTY ONE SCHOOL YEAR FOR RIGHT NOW. OK. RIGHT.

I'M GETTING RID AND OF THE. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS AMENDMENT? IT'S JUST THAT SO ONCE AGAIN THIS IS JUST ANOTHER PART OF THE AMENDMENT.

I MEAN AN AMENDMENT TO THE DUE TO THE FINAL MOTION. RIGHT.

THANK YOU. DOCTOR IS NOW ASKING CLARIFICATION 120 DAYS THAT IS APPLY FOR THOSE FULL TIME TEACHERS AND OTHER STAFF BUT NOT NECESSARILY FOR THE DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEES POPULATION . THANK YOU.

IS THIS READY FOR BOWLING BALL? NO, BECAUSE I'M CONFUSED. OK.

OK, SO NOW WHY? SO NOW HOWARD LIVES IS NOT INCLUDING THE PART TIME PEOPLE TIME EMPLOYEES WOULD NOT WORK 920 DAYS DURING THIS WHERE ARE NUMEROUS SPORADIC DURING THE YEAR ACTUALLY PRESENTED AS A PARTNER MAYBE ONE OR TWO THAT ARE WORKING THAT ROAD DAYS BUT IT'S TYPICALLY IS TUTORING AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT SORT OF THING IS THE OTHER PART COMICALLY YOU'RE GOING TO BE BASED ON THAT EIGHT WEEK PERIOD THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.

OK, WITH AN AVERAGE. YES. ALL RIGHT.

GOING IS OPEN IS MR. SMITH EMOTION HERE IS MAYBE 10 1, MR. SMITH, IF THE ONE LEVEL RIGHT

NOW WE NEED THEM NOW WE NEED THE WHOLE THING UP THERE. >> I HAVE TO GO BACK JOURNAL SHE'S WORKING ON THAT CASE. THE QUESTION OF CLARIFICATION THEN GO AHEAD.

I THOUGHT THAT WE WERE DOING PART TIME ON A HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTIVE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WORK 120 DAYS THERE IN THE SYSTEM IS ACTIVE FOR 120 DAYS AND NOT USING A SEPARATE CALCULATION IN MY OPINION USING A SEPARATE CALCULATION MIGHT PROVE PROBLEMATIC EVEN THIS THAT MIGHT HAVE SOME TO SAY I DON'T KNOW HOW PAYROLL WORKS.

I MEAN AS FAR AS THE SYSTEM UNITS WELL IF IF A TUTOR WAS HIRED SAY IN FEBRUARY AND WAS WORKING IN FEBRUARY MARCH, APRIL, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO WORK 100 DAYS STRAIGHT SCHOOL YEAR. SO THIS PROVIDES AN AVERAGE OF THOSE RECENTLY AND ACTUALLY WORK FOR THE DISTRICT SOMEONE WHO AIN'T LEFT IN A YEAR SOMETHING BUT THE QUESTION I HAVE SO THEY'RE HARD LET'S SAY TEACHERS HIRED IN FEBRUARY AND THEY'RE FULL TIME BUT THEY WILL NOT HAVE WORKED 120 DAYS SO THEY WILL NOT GET A BONUS. BUT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME IS

[02:25:03]

THAT'S CORRECT. AND I THINK THAT'S POTENTIALLY PROBLEM.

I MEAN AGAIN, I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT VERY SMALL NUMBER OF CASES SO I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE A BIG STINK BUT I THINK WE SHOULD STICK WITH 120 DAYS ACTIVE EMPLOYEE IF YOU WERE IN THE SYSTEM FOR 120 DAYS I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A SPECIAL CATEGORY FOR PART TIME.

THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT IT WAS SORT OF WE'RE JUST WE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN HERE THROUGH THE PANDEMIC AS OPPOSED TO RECENTLY HIRED KNOW CAMPBELL YOUR WORKPLACE CONCERN ABOUT

WHAT TIME ARE YOU GO DOCTOR. >> LET THAT GO. DR. WINDOW, YOU HAVE A PERSON THEN ONE DAY FROM SEPTEMBER TO NOW A PERSON REGISTERED. RIGHT.

ONE DAY AT SIMPLY ALLOWABLE AMOUNT OF TIME 100 ANIMAL OVERALL.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO NOW? I'M SUGGESTING THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE OVERALL EIGHT OF THE FIVE PERSON IN THE VIDEO WE DO JUSTICE TO SOMEONE VOLUNTEER FOR THAT LONG PERIOD OF TIME TRAVELING TO VOTE. BUT THEY HAVE ANOTHER RULE THAT'S AS VITAL.

LET'S CERTAINLY THEY HAVE PUT IN HOURS YOU KNOW, OVERTIME WOULD BE REGISTERING HERE BY FOR THAT'S AS FAR AS AN HOUR OBSERVANCE. BOTH JUST WORK PART TIME, PART TIME AND SEVEN PART TIME FULL TERMS WHICH YOU GONNA BE ON? THANK YOU.

MANAGER IS GOOD. PAYROLL. CRAZY BECAUSE YOU'D HAVE TO LOOK EVERY SINGLE PART TIME EMPLOYEE TO FIGURE OUT HOW MANY DAYS WE'VE GOT TO SIMPLIFY AND REMOVE SOME VARIABLES. OTHERWISE WE'RE GOING TO DRIVE A INTO THE DIRT.

SO LET'S JUST FIGURE OUT A WAY GIVE A TIMEFRAME. YOU SAY SAY IT SAVES ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAYS AND END IN 120 DAYS IF YOU WORK IF YOU WORK FOR FOUR DAYS WITHIN THAT HUNDRED AND TWENTY DAY PERIOD BUT YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING? THE NUMBER OF VARIABLES IS IS INFINITE. AND WE'VE GOT TO FIGURE OUT SOMETHING SIMPLER.

I'D LIKE TO JUST TWO SEPARATE NOTIONS FULL TIME EMPLOYEES VERSUS OUR TIME AND WE COME BACK WITH A PROPOSAL AN ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL FOR THE PART TIME.

THAT WAY WE COULD GET THE BULK OF THE FULL TIME EMPLOYEES PAID AND THAT'S THE WORK.

IT'S MUCH SMALLER SUBSET OF PEOPLE AND WE CAN BRING BACK AN ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL, TAKE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR MAKE MORE MEMBERS THINK KIND OF IN BACK FRIDAY WITH A PROPOSAL FOR JUSTICE TIME FOR CHANGE ONLY 47 EMPLOYEES HAVE TO PAY THE VAST MAJORITY OF THEY.

ALL RIGHT. KNOW I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT DELAYING THE CONVERSATION FURTHER TO BE ABLE TO MEET AND MAY 14TH PAYROLL AND ALL THE WORK THAT LEADS TO THAT SO CRITICAL OF THE EMPLOYEE. SO WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT ONE PERHAPS WITH HIM DELAYING THE OTHERS TO HIRE A SMALLER SUBSET OF RIGHT. OK.

SO I NEED SOME SYSTEMS GO. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WE WOULD HAVE TO VOTE THIS MOTION THAT BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY AMENDED IT TWICE. SO THAT'S THE LIMITS FOR ROBERT COOL. ROBERT'S RULES. AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A NEW MOTION WITH UP UNTIL THOSE COVERING THE FULL TIME EMPLOYEES AND THEN THAT'S IT.

THEN YOU'D GO BACK TO THE DRAWING TABLE. THIS IS AT THE CONSENSUS.

THAT'S MY INTERPRETATION OF HOW ROBERT'S RULES OF WORK. WE HAVE NOT AMENDED ANY OR DRAWN WELL. ALSO I THINK YOU YOU CAN'T HAVE MORE THAN TWO AMENDMENTS TONIGHT. BUT I THINK NOW THAT WE'VE DISPOSED OF THOSE TWO AMENDMENTS WE CAN HAVE ANOTHER AMENDMENT. WE JUST CAN'T HAVE AN AMENDMENT ON THE AMENDMENT EQUALLY WELL TO SAY WE'RE STILL WORKING ON SAME.

YEAH BUT AT LEAST IT'S SUPPOSED TO. SO WE SORT OF IF YOU HAVE AN AMENDMENT AND THEN I AMEND GERMAN AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE WANTS TO COME IN AND AMEND MY AMENDMENT TO YOUR AMENDMENT THAT'S NOT ALLOWED. BUT I THINK YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN TWO AMENDMENTS TO A MOTION FOR SURE. I MEAN I CHECKED THIS THIS IS

[02:30:03]

SECOND, WITHDRAWING THE MOTION THE OTHER. SO IT'S OPEN.

I DIDN'T TYPE AT ALL TO PUT IN YOUR IS IT A YES FOR THIS? >> IT'S OPEN SO EVERYONE CAN AFTER WE SEE THE THIS BOY YOU COME OUT MAYBE IN ANOTHER MOTION ABOUT EXTENDING OR

RETURNING. >> YEAH. I MEAN IF WE EXTEND SOMETHING ALL RIGHT. SO THAT THE MOTION IS WITHDRAWN BY MAJORITY GO 10 1 THE ONE IS MR. SMITH, FAMILY MEMBER WELL WE'RE GOING CONTINUE TONIGHT OR ADJOURN THIS.

ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET STARTED. I WANT TO EXTEND IT.

OK. SECOND IF PRESSURE PRESSURE TO EXTEND TO ME IS NOW I MEAN TO

WHAT TIME IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE A. >> THEY DIDN'T PUT A TIME AS LONG AS IT TAKES RELIGION VOTE VOTING IS OPEN UP IN ORDER TO MAKE A LESS HERE.

>> YEAH WE'RE ONLY OPEN VOTING DISTRICTS AND I DIDN'T SEE YOUR HAND UP.

I DON'T THINK YOU PUT YOUR HAND UP THERE. YOU DID NOT OPEN A VOTE.

>> YOU JUST WERE YOU I MEAN YOU JUST WERE SAID THAT WE CAN GO IN AND VOTE.

YOU DIDN'T. YOU ASKED IF I HAD ANY QUESTIONS.

YOU JUST MADE AN ASSUMPTION. AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING TIME.

YOU SAID NO. AND SO THAT SO THEREFORE THAT THAT'S WHEN I WOULD NEED YOU NOW TO ALLOW ME TO AMEND THE VOTE. I'M DETERMINED TO AMEND THE

MOTION THAT YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT TO YOU AND GIVE IT TIME. >> YOU DON'T GIVE A TIME.

>> OH, HERE WHILE USING YOU CALL FOR THE QUESTION WHEN YOU APPLY A YOU APPOINTED ME TO BE

AN MP. >> YOU JUST WENT AHEAD AND SAID YES YOU CALL CALLING FOR THE VOTE. I MEAN CAN WE GET. CAN WE GET SOME CONSISTENCY HERE BECAUSE IT'S A TIME WHEN YOU SAY OK, THERE'S NO QUESTIONS AND YOU MOVE ON TO THIS. I MEAN SAID OK, VOTE. I'M JUST TRYING TO GET SOME.

I'M SORRY BECAUSE THIS WILL COST THE BOARD. >> THAT'S WHY I THE QUESTION THERE WAS THIS NO DOES NOT HAVE A TIME IF WE BOTH IS UP OR DOWN AND YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT WE KNOW ENDED AT 10:00 P.M. YOU CAN MAKE THAT MOTION AFTER THIS.

I DON'T SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THE ISSUE IS THAT I LIKE TO AMEND THE MOTION BEFORE IT EVEN BEFORE IT EVEN GETS OFF THE GROUND. THAT DESTINATION THAT'S THE

ISSUE. >> THAT'S THE ISSUE. PROBABLY THE MORE LIKE TO.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACCEPT THIS AMENDMENT AFTER THE FAMILY? NOW WE WE'VE BEEN DOING BOTH HOPEFULLY YOU'VE GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET'S VOTE HERE AND THEN YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A MOTION IF YOU WANT A CERTAIN TIME OR AMEND THE MOTION EVERYONE IS VOTED BUT MR. SMITH, ARE YOU VOTING RIGHT?

>> THE INCENTIVES A MEETING THE OTHER WAY BY MAJORITY VOTE 10 0 1 TO 1 TO AS BUSINESSMEN WOULD

[02:35:08]

YES, I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE TO MAKE AMENDMENT. I AMENDMENT.

I MEAN I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION AT THIS MEETING AND GO BEYOND 10 30.

>> WE HAVE A SEPARATE WITNESS. DR. WISNIEWSKI, THANK YOU. YOUR NOTION ALL CAN DO AND I'M NOT SURE IF THEY'RE RELATED TO THIS OR NOT. VERY HARD.

ALL RIGHT. PETE, I JUST GOING TO END THE MEETING AT 10 30 WHICH IS ONE HOUR FROM NOW. ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT? ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? YES, THE BUILDING IS OPEN. MR. EARL CAMPBELL.

GO FOR FAILS 5 5 1 THOUGH THERE IS NOT A MAJORITY. THE 1 ABSTENTION IS CONSIDERED A NOT NOT A VOTE. AND THAT WAS FROM MR. GARRICK. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S RIGHT. MISS MIDDLETON. OH, I'M SORRY I MISSPOKE.

I APOLOGIZE, MISS. WE'RE ABSTENTION WAS ANGELA MIDDLETON.

SO THERE IS NOT A MAJORITY SO THAT THE FIRST PRIOR MOTION IS WHERE IT IS IN EFFECT.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE'RE HAVING A MEETING AND UNLESS SOMEBODY DECIDES AT SOME POINT THAT THEY WANT TO ADJOURN. OK, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO ADJOURN MISERY LINE IN THE MATERIAL PRESENTED TO US BY MISS CROSBY. THERE'S A NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES IN EACH OF THE GROUPS. THERE ARE FORTY SEVEN PART TIME EMPLOYEES IDENTIFIED IN THIS MATERIAL. CAN'T WE JUST SAY THOSE FORTY SEVEN PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY WERE OBVIOUSLY WITH US WHEN WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT THIS AND THEY WOULD MEET OUR CRITERIA? YEAH, I WOULD THINK OF BEING THE PEOPLE THAT WE INTEND TO REWARD FOR WORKING WITH.

JUST A QUESTION. I HAVE CAPTURED I HAVE A FILE CAPTURED WITH THAT DATA.

THOSE TWO BOYS NEED I.D. NUMBERS SO IT'S POSSIBLE FOR ME TO.

YOU WITNESS REVIVED. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT BUT IN ORDER TO CAPTURE THE COST OF WHAT I BELIEVE WOULD BE ATTRIBUTED TO JUST THE PART TIME PAY FOR THOSE PART TIME BONUSES FOR EMPLOYEES, I CAPTURED A FILE TO GET AN ESTIMATE OF COST AND NO EMPLOYEES THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED. WHICH EMPLOYEES WOULD BE AFFECTED? I HAVE A LISTING OF EMPLOYEES THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED.

BASED ON THAT SCENARIO NOW THAT IS NOT FOR FEBRUARY 20 AND THROUGH 416 BECAUSE THAT AT A

LATER DATE THAT IT WAS IT WAS ACTUALLY SINCE JANUARY 1ST. >> UP UNTIL THE DATE THAT I RAN

THE INFORMATION WHICH WAS IN MARCH. >> SO THEN IT SOUNDS LIKE WE CAN GO BACK TO THE NOTION THAT WE JUST WENT THROUGH IT AND THAT MEANS THE INTENT OF THE

BOARD TO CAP HAVEN'T HAD SINCE THE EMPLOYEE ACT. >> AN AVERAGE OF THESE DAYS PER WEEK SINCE JANUARY 1ST. WE HAVE A DEAL TO MAKE YOUR MOTION SOME I DON'T KNOW WHAT

THE ADDITIONS ARE. >> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE IS THAT YOU ARE SUGGESTING. SO INSTEAD OF THE TO FRAME TO WE WOULD SAY FROM JANUARY 1ST 1981 THROUGH 416 ONLY FOR THE PART TIME THAT'S THAT'S HOW WE CAN START PROBABLY A LEVEL

[02:40:06]

IMAGINE IT'S GOING TO CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF TEMPS. >> WELL BY CAPTURING CHANGE IN THE DAY FROM JOHANNESBURG 21 IN THIS LANGUAGE HERE IS GOING TO BE A FACTOR OF WHAT WELL IF I'M ABLE FROM IT MAY BE THIS IS A LONGER TIMEFRAME THAN I ORIGINALLY CALCULATED BECAUSE IT GOES THROUGH 60 PEOPLE AND I ORIGINALLY CALCULATED THROUGH MID-MARCH SO IT WON'T BE FORTY SEVEN. IT WOULD MAKE ME SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND MAY CAPTURE WEEKS SINCE IT ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM ISRAEL BUYING CAP AND MAYBE YOU ARE A PROMOTION BUT IF MY STANDING THAT THAT WAS THE CUTOFF DAY THAT IF YOU WERE EMPLOYED BY THE TIME THAT WE HAD WERE OFFERING THIS WEEK IF WE COULD HAVE MADE THIS DECISION IN JANUARY BABY YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S WAS MY UNDERSTANDING WE COULD MAKE THIS DECISION IN JANUARY. WE WOULD HAVE DONE IT RIGHT THEN THAT KNOWLEDGE WE JUST COULDN'T BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW OUR OUR REVENUE WAS GOING TO BE BECAUSE OF THE FOLDEROL GOING ON WENT ON. SO I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS CAPTURES WHAT THIS RIBAUT IS SAYING. THAT CHANGED BY THE EXTENSION OF THE DATE TO APRIL.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A CAST OF HAPPY WHICH WAS WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT JUST LIKE MISS FREDRICK SAID IF WE COULD HAVE IF WE KNEW WE HAD THE MONEY WE WOULD HAVE VOTED ON IT RIGHT THEN. THAT'S PREVENTED US FROM DOING IT.

AND AT THAT TIME THE EMPLOYEE GROUPS THE NUMBER OF PART TIME EMPLOYEES WAS FORTY SEVEN.

AND AGAIN I GO BACK TO THE INTENT. THE INTENT WAS TO REWARD THE PEOPLE IS TO REWARD PEOPLE THAT STUCK WITH US THAT HAVE BEEN WITH US THIS WHOLE TIME NOT TO REWARD THE PEOPLE THAT ARE GOING TO JUMP ON TO DO SOME TUTORING IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS. YOU KNOW, I THINK THE INTENT WAS TO SAY THANK YOU, THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WITH US. SO THAT'S WHY IT SEEMS WE HAVE A DEFINITIVE NUMBER HERE. AND IF WE DON'T HAVE THESE NUMBERS AREN'T THAT DEFINITIVE THEN ARE MATH IN THE AMOUNT THAT WE JUST YOU KNOW, ARE GOING TO APPROVE WON'T BE ACCURATE EITHER. IT MOVES THE BUDGET SO I'M JUST TRYING TO SIMPLIFY THINGS BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S HAPPENING SO IT SEEMS LIKE WE'VE MADE IS WAY I GUESS I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD WITH MY TEAM WHAT IS DOABLE, WHAT MAKES SENSE AND TAKE YOUR COMMENTS TO THEM. LOOK, I DO HAVE A STAKE GUIDANCE ON THE STEP INCREASE BUT THAT DOESN'T APPLY TO PART TIME EMPLOYEES. SO IT REALLY ISN'T APPLICABLE TO THIS COMPENSATION. BUT IF I COULD BRING SOMETHING BACK ON FRIDAY OF THE WORK SESSION ON A PART TIME STAFF THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH FULL TIME BECAUSE WE JUST HAVE.

SO PUT UP THOUGH THE I THOUGHT WE ARE. WE DIDN'T APPROVE THE FULL TIME EITHER. I CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN SO I I'M NOT SURE THE TWO AMENDMENTS EVENTUALLY. ANDREW, IS THAT CORRECT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

>> RIGHT. SO SORRY. WE NEED TO HAVE A YEAH.

SO. OK. AND WE'LL WORK THAT PART TIME.

RIGHT. BUT THEN IT ALSO ISN'T THE AMOUNT MAYBE YOU'RE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT TO BECAUSE WE'VE NOW CHANGED THE THE WINDOW FOR FULL TIME.

YES I HAVE TO GO BACK TO FOR 120 DAYS THAT HE HAS TO GO IN THERE.

WE COULD USE THREE POINT LINE OR THREE POINT TWO MILLION BECAUSE THAT'S THE AMOUNT OF EQUAL TIME COST AND THEN ADD AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT THAT OUR TIME AS A SEPARATE DATE.

>> OK, I'LL GET AS A STAB OF IT. ALL RIGHT.

I KNOW THAT THE BEAUFORT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AUTHORIZED A SUPERINTENDENT TO PAY A ONETIME BONUS TO CURRENT ACTIVE EMPLOYEES DETERMINED TO AWARD A MINIMUM OF 120 DAYS OF SCHOOL

[02:45:10]

GO. >> ALL RIGHT. SO IS THERE ANY FURTHER THIS WELL MEANING PROBLEM? YES. GIVE ME A MOMENT, PLEASE.

YES. YES. THERE THERE'S ONE MINUTE.

LOOK, MR. SANCHEZ, ORDER TWO QUESTIONS ABOUT. OKAY.

LET ME LET I KNOW THAT THE B FOR COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. OK.

I'LL JUST PUT IT UP THERE BECAUSE I GET FEEDBACK FROM MY MINUTE PART TIME COMES OUT EVERYTHING EVERYTHING I DO A THOUSAND DOLLARS I'VE GOT EXCEPT LITTLE MATHEMATICS

REFUND KIM KEEP THE TIME FRAME . >> I WAS NOT ENOUGH BY NOW.

OK. SO AVERAGE DAYS PER WEEK ALL THAT COMES OUT AS WELL.

THAT'S BAD ONES. YES. OK, HOLD ON.

LET ME AVENUE. >> THAT WAS FOR DESCRIBES MAYBE SATISFY YOU GUYS.

YES. OK. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION ABOUT THE NOTION THAT WE HAVE ON THE TABLE? YES, MA'AM.

THERE'S IT'S JUST MATH. SO THIS IS THIS MOST WRITERS TO IS TO BASICALLY TRANSFER THE FUNDS OVER FOR THE FULL TIME BEING A FULL TIME EMPLOYEES. CORRECT.

>> YEAH. CORRECT. YES.

SO SO. SO WE'RE JUST TRANSFERRING FOLK WE'RE JUST TRANSFERRING TRANSFERRING THE MONEY FOR THE FULL TIME EMPLOYEE NOT THE PART TIME EMPLOYEES EXPENSE.

>> I MADE THE MOTION WITH A TOTAL AMOUNT THAT WE HAD USED IN A PRIOR MOTION KNOWING THAT IT WON'T USE UP THIS FULL AMOUNT. AND THEN ON FRIDAY WHEN WE DID A PART TIME EMPLOYEES WILL KNOW THAT THE MONEY IS STILL THERE. RIGHT.

BECAUSE THIS IS THIS WAS NOT TO EXCEED THREE POINT TWO MILLION WHEN IT HAD THE PART TIME EMPLOYEES IN IT. SO NOW BY JUST SAYING AT THIS WE KNOW IT, WE'LL GO OVER BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE'S ENOUGH IN THERE SO WE'LL PASS IT OUT ON FRIDAY.

THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. I CALLED THE QUESTION IS IF YOU CALL THE QUESTION WE HAVE TO HAVE NOW A TWO THIRDS MAJORITY VOTE. IT'S GOING TO BE AN.

SO I'LL CALL THIS QUESTION ANYWHERE. I THINK THAT YOU KNOW THAT NOBODY WANTED TO ASK THE QUESTION ACTUALLY AS WE CAN. ALL RIGHT.

THE QUESTION IS CALL THINGS OPEN. YES.

IT'S JUST LIKE THE MOTION IS A PRETTY STANDARD ONE. THE ONE NO WHICH MR. SMITH THOUGH IS THERE ANY OBJECTION? WHAT IS PROBABLY SUGGESTED AND IF THERE'S OBJECTION WE'LL GO OF ME IS GOING TO BRING FORWARD TO THE BOARD ON OUR APRIL 20 THIRD WORK SESSION WHAT SHE FEELS IS APPROPRIATE OR THE RECOMMENDATION FOR A MOTION FOR THE PART TIME EMPLOYEES WITH AND SHE'S HEARD OUR DISCUSSION THAT WE'RE YOU KNOW, TRYING TO COMPENSATE THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN

[02:50:01]

SO IS THERE ANY OBJECTION TO THAT, MR. SMITH? YES, I DO.

OBJECTION. GATHER EVERY REVIEW PART TIME OR FULL TIME.

HE WAS WITH US. EVERYONE SHOULD GET PAID A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND EVEN THE POINT EMPLOYEES THAT WE LEFT OUT THERE, THEY SHOULD BE ADDED TO ADDED TO THIS.

SO I DO HAVE AN OBJECTION. SO RIBAUT AND JACKIE DOESN'T HAVE AN OBJECTION TO THE MOTION BUT IF PEOPLE HAVE AN OBJECTION TO WHAT IS BROUGHT FORWARD ON FRIDAY.

>> BUT I DON'T OBJECTING TO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YEAH THAT'S WHAT I SEE.

I CURRICULUMS ALL I DO BECAUSE SHE'S WORKING IT OUT AND BRINGING IT BACK TO LIFE FOR HER TO WORK IT OUT TO GIVE EVERYONE ABOUT MILES AND BRING THAT BACK TO US RIGHT NOW.

DID YOU GET SOME MORE TIME TO MAKE BETTER? >> HEY, YOU OK? I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT. OK. SO YOU KNOW OBJECTION MR. FAIR.

SO MAKE THEM SO MAKE YOUR MOTION AND MAKE A MOTION THAT MS. BUT. I JUST COULDN'T MAKE A MOTION THAT YOU FINANCE COULD THE FINANCE THE CHAIR THE FINANCE COMMITTEE BRINGS THAT MISS CROSBY BRING A A DOCUMENTATION OF WHAT IT WOULD COST TO GIVE EVERYONE A DOLLAR LOANS LET UP BY TIME GO FOR TIME.

WE HAVE A SECOND. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT AND THAT'S NOT ENTERTAINED BY THE BOARD.

NO, NO, NO. THIS CAUSED ME TO COME BACK ON FRIDAY WITH HER RECOMMENDATION FOR THE PART TIME EMPLOYEES. ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU READY TO MOVE ON THE A

[Employee Step Increases]

SO A LOT OF LANGUAGE THERE. SO THE RESOLUTION IDENTIFIED SPECIFIC POSITIONS THEY'RE ELIGIBLE AND MANDATED FOR THIS STEP IN GREECE AND THEY ARE CERTIFIED AND PROFESSIONAL CATEGORIES ARE LISTED ON THEIR PROFESSIONAL CATEGORIES. A NEW CATEGORY PLUS ONE OR TWO YEARS AND IT INCLUDES NURSES, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, PHYSICAL THERAPISTS AND FEW OTHER GROUPS OF EMPLOYEES AND THAT ARE MANDATED TO RECEIVE THIS RETROACTIVE STEP INCREASE

RECEIVING I AM. >> WE ARE THE RECOMMENDED MOTION IS THAT WE EXTEND THAT STEP INCREASE TO ALL EMPLOYEES INCLUDING CLASSIFIED AND ADMINISTRATORS.

AND SO THE COSTS OF THAT TOTAL THE TOTAL APPROXIMATELY TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS AND THE ALL ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES MEANING THOSE UP TO THE TWENTY FOURTH STEP WOULD BE ELIGIBLE SO UP TO TWENTY THIRD STEP THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR AN INCREASE IN THIS MODEL.

AGAIN THIS IS NOT A CARER'S ACT ELIGIBLE TYPE OF EXPENSE AND IT IS A RECURRING EXPENSE SO WE WOULDN'T WANT TO PAY OUR RECURRING EXPENSES WITH NON-RECURRING DOLLARS SUCH AS CARERS OR HARBOR OR S OR ALL THOSE THAT IT IS IS NOT ELIGIBLE BEING A PORTION NOW IT BECOMES A BASE PART OF THEIR BASE SALARY. WE WILL RECEIVE SOME FUNDING IN THE GENERAL FUND TO HELP SUPPORT SOME OF THESE THINGS THAT I'M THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THAT ON FRIDAY THAT WE ARE ALLOCATING RESOURCES FROM THESE FEDERAL FUNDS THROUGH A TRANSFER TO THE GENERAL FUND TO HELP SUPPORT THE ADMINISTRATION OF THESE GRANTS SO THAT THOSE FUNDS WILL HELP US OVER A PERIOD OF TIME AND WE EXPECT IN THE CURRENT YEAR TO BE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS EXTRA REVENUE TO HELP SUPPORT.

THAT'S A SMALL AMOUNT COMPARED TO THE TOTAL COST THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT KNOWING EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS. AGAIN, WE HAVE SAVINGS THAT WE'RE EXPERIENCING THIS YEAR AND BOTH THE SAVINGS SHOULD COVER BOTH THE STEP AND THE RETROACTIVE STEP CAN DECREASE.

[02:55:05]

SO AT THIS TIME MY RECOMMENDATION IS THAT TO PAY THE LUMP SUM INSTEAD INCREASED ALL ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES FROM THE GENERAL OPERATING FUND AND ALLOW TO BUDGET THE NECESSARY RESOURCES IN THE PROPER AREAS OF THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF TURNING NOBODY FOR QUESTIONS. RIGHT MR. SMITH? MRS. CROSBY.

OH MY. MY QUESTION IS WHAT WOULD WE BE ABLE TO USE ANY OF THE CORPORATE MONEY THAT WE WOULD DESCRIBE GOTTEN TO PUT TOWARDS A STEP INCREASE? YES. OTHER THAN THE THERE IS A SMALL PORTION.

Q ANY SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IT IS INDIRECT. IT IS A TRANSFER THAT WE CAN MAKE TO THE GENERAL FUND SO WE CAN SUPPORT IT. I ADD UP APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. OTHER THAN THAT WE CANNOT SPEND DIRECTLY FROM THE ANY CARES ACT OR COATED RELATED FUNDS OKAY AT THIS TIME AND TO MOVE THAT THE BRIEF OKATIE BOARD OF EDUCATION AUTHORIZES THE SUPERINTENDENT TO PAY A LUMP SUM STEP INCREASE TO ALL ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES FROM THE GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVES THE BUDGET TRANSFER NECESSARY TO THE FUND PAYMENTS OF THE

STEP INCREASE DURING THE SUMMER. >> SECOND, I WILL GIVE IT TO

YOU MR. RYAN. >> ALL RIGHT. MR. SMITH AT THAT IS NATALIE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I THINK I JUST HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS.

ONE IS IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS RECOMMENDATION IS GOING TO TAKE IT A STEP FURTHER. FROM A STATE MANDATE THAT ACCURATE? YES. THE IS DAY PASSED BY AN ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF THAT'S AN ADDITIONAL 700 HOURS. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT PASSED BY ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF RECEIVED THE SEVEN DEGREES OF THAT TYPICALLY ALL DONE AT THE SAME TIME.

ALL EMPLOYEES WERE ABLE TO EVENT JULY 1, 2019. WE DIDN'T DO IT IN JULY 1 TO 20 OR IT WAS EFFECTIVE JULY 1 AND 19 WAS THE LAST TIME WE ROLLED THE STEP.

AND THEN THAT NEW YEAR THEY WERE ELIGIBLE AND THEY RECEIVED THE HIGHER RATE THAT I TEACH MANY SCHOOL YEAR. SO IT'S BRINGING CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATIVE ALL AND THAT ACCURATE. YES.

TO THE REASON STAFFING WITH THE REVIEW. YES, IT WILL REINSTATE THE MISSTEP THAT WAS WAIVED OR STOPPED BY THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE BACK IN MARCH OF LAST YEAR. AND I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAD IN MIND TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, I WAS THERE BY THAT THIS IS TAKING IT EVEN FURTHER. AND THAT TO MR. BELL CAMPBELL THAT THE STATE STILL SORT OF IN THE STEP THAT MOVEMENT AND SOME INJURIES TOO.

HE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE COST OF LIVING INCREASE AND THE ACTUAL SALARY SCHEDULE THAT IS CURRENTLY EXISTS WILL NOT CHANGE THE EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ELIGIBLE WILL MOVE UP A STEP.

SO IF I HAVE SEVEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE THIS YEAR I WILL I WOULD BE MOVED TO THE EIGHTH STEP OR IF I THE SEVENTH STEP I WOULD GO TO THE EIGHTH STEP AND THEN AS WE MOVE TO THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR AND THE NEW BUDGET AND WE MAY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE ANOTHER STEP IN JULY

TIMEFRAME. >> I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS. SO YOU JUST CORRECTED YOURSELF ON THAT BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK THE STEPS CORRELATED WITH YEARS OF SERVICE.

[03:00:01]

I CORRECTED MYSELF AS WELL BECAUSE WE ARE ONE STEP BEHIND ON TEACHERS.

SO THERE WAS NOT A STEP INCREASE SEVERAL YEARS BACK. AND SO WE ARE STILL BEHIND STEP EVEN WITH THE ADDITION OF THIS. IF THIS WAS WHAT WOULD YOU DO? IT WAS 2011 BLUE THAT TEN YEARS THOUGH. AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS FOR THE THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THIS DEBT INCREASE. ARE THESE ALL FULL TIME EMPLOYEES? YES. THERE MAY BE.

BECAUSE I'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE SPEECH THERAPIST OR OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST OR PHYSICAL THERAPIST OR THEY HAVE SOLD THEIR DISABLED TIMES GOING TO HAVE TO BE FULL TIME.

IT'S NOT REALLY CONTRACTED. YOU KNOW, ONE DAY WE HAVE THAT'S NERVE WRACKING.

THERE ARE OF SMALL NUMBER MARSHALL. WE CALL IT PARTIAL EDGY.

THEY MIGHT BE HALF EMPTY. THERE'S A TEACHER SO THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR A PORTION OF THAT STEP, NOT THE FULL AMOUNT BECAUSE THEY FEEL THEY'RE ONLY A PARTIAL FTE OR FULL TIME EQUIVALENT. SO THERE ARE A FEW OUT THERE SO I WON'T SAY THERE ARE NONE BUT IT IS NOT A NOT PREVALENT EVENT. THAT WAS MY QUESTION OR QUESTIONS THAT GIVE MR. PRO BASICALLY THE BUS DRIVERS WHO THEN GIVE THIS DEBORAH CRUISE LAST YEAR WILL NOW GIVE THIS TRIP THIS DOUBLE PLEASE THIS YEAR.

WELL LAST YEAR THAT I'M UNDERSTANDING WHY THE SCHOOL YEAR THE THESE THE STEP THAT

WAS NOT PROVIDED IN AND BEGAN IN JULY. >> JOE I WANT TO 2020 WILL BE NOW RESTORED AND WILL IT WILL WE SEE THAT RETROACTIVELY BACK TO JULY 1? ALL CLASSIFIED INCLUDING BUS DRIVER. YES.

RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. THAT WAS ABOUT BASICALLY FOR THE CLASSIFIED STAFF AS WELL. ALSO I NOTICED TODAY I BELIEVE THAT TODAY I BELIEVE THAT I SAW THAT OF YOU SAW YOU THAT THEY WERE GIVING THAT THEY WERE PUTTING A THOUSAND HOURS BACK.

I WAS OFF SOMETHING THAT THEY WERE PUTTING ABOUT MILES BACK INTO THE BUDGET.

THAT THAT THAT'S SOME GOOD FOR TEACHERS AS WELL. BUT THAT'S THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

BUT BASICALLY MR. THANK YOU. >> TYLER, CAN YOU HELP ME REMEMBER OUR FIRST YEAR TEACHERS OUR SECOND YEAR TEACHERS? THERE'S NOT A STEP THERE IS THAT THERE IS NOT ZERO FIRST STEP. THERE IS NOT THERE WOULD BE NO INCREASE FIRST AND SECOND. SO IF WE HAVE A FIRST YEAR TEACHER THIS YEAR THAT COMPLETES THE YEAR THEY WOULD NOT BE ELIGIBLE FOR ME IN THE CURRENT YEAR ANYWAY IF THEIR FIRST YEAR. RIGHT. THEY WERE FIRST YEAR IN THEIR SECOND YEAR TEACHERS. THEY WOULD NOT GET THAT WOULD THEY STILL BE LISTED AT THE ZERO STAGE? THEY WOULD NOT GET A STEP. THEY WOULD GIVE 1 JULY 1 FOR NEXT YEAR. THEY WOULD BE ELIGIBLE. ALL RIGHT.

SO. SO I KNOW THIS IS NOT GERMANE TO THIS CONVERSATION BUT I REALLY THINK THAT YOU SOMETHING WHEN YOU DON'T THINK SO. THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

PUT MY ARMS FOR THIS. I DO AGREE WITH YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.

VOTING QUESTION IS PAUL IS THIS MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUS LIKE THANK YOU.

THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. WE'LL HEAR FROM YOU ON A FRIDAY AND OBVIOUSLY RATHER THAT THERE'S AREA THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE AGENDA.
