[Chairman's Report]

LINDA STOKES MURRAY, OUR LOBBYIST GAVE A LEGISLATIVE UPDATE AND WE DISCUSSED A POSSIBLE LEGISLATE PROPOSALS THE BOARD WOULD LIKE TO SUBMIT FOR THE 2022 LEGISLATIVE SESSION. ELIMINATING THE SALARY CAP ON TEACHERS EMPLOYED TWENTY FOUR YEARS OR MORE WAS BROUGHT FORTH BY EARL CAMPBELL AND MULTIPLE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS VOICED THEIR SUPPORT. NO OTHER LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE BOARD OFFICERS TODAY AS REQUESTED AT THE LAST MEETING. MS. STOKES MURRAY REACHED OUT TO ME AFTER THE LAST MEETING IN MAY TO SUGGESTIONS FIRST WAS TO SUBMIT OUR LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS TO THE SC SBA. THAT'S A SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION AND TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY THIS YEAR. LAST YEAR WE ADJUSTED THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION. HER SECOND SUGGESTION WAS IN THE INTEREST OF EXPEDIENCY AND EFFICIENCY. SHE WOULD LIKE TO WORK WITH HER COLLEAGUE SHANNON BRUNING KATIE M. JUST WHO IS SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ASIAN STAFF LEGISLATOR LIAISON AND ONE TO BOARD MEMBERS TO CRAFT THE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS WHICH WILL THEN BE BROUGHT TO THE BOARD AT THE JUNE 1 MEETING FOR APPROVAL BY VOTE.

I WAS GOING TO RECOMMEND EARL CAMPBELL, OUR LEGISLATIVE LIAISON AND KATHY ROWE BY WHO HAS WRITTEN OUR LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES LETTERS PREVIOUSLY BE THE REPRESENTATIVES FOR THIS

[00:15:01]

NOW REPORT ON THE JOAN JOINT MEETING WITH COUNTY COUNCIL ON MAY 13.

REPRESENTATIVES FROM THE COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION AND COUNTY COUNCIL MET FOR AN INFORMATIONAL DISCUSSION. A VIDEO OF THE MEETING IS POSTED ON THE COUNTY CHANNEL.

THE TOPICS COVERED WERE FISCAL AUTONOMY FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S BUDGET AND TAX RATE THE FISCAL YEAR 2021 2022 SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET IMPACT FEES THE LITTLE BIKO BRANCH LIBRARY HEADSTART PROPERTY AND THE SECURITY FEE FOR HILTON HEAD POLICE SERVICES.

MOST DISCUSSIONS CENTERED ON FISCAL AUTONOMY AND THE BUDGET THE COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT WERE IN SUPPORT OUR PROPOSED BUDGET AND NOT OPPOSED TO FISCAL AUTONOMY FOR THE DISTRICT WITHIN THE LIMITS OF STATE LAW. TONIGHT THE BOARD WILL BE VOTING ON THE BUDGET ON APRIL 20. THE BOARD DIRECTED THE SUPERINTENDENT EXCUSE ME ON APRIL 20. THE BOARD DIRECTED QUOTE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO WORK WITH LEGAL COUNSEL TO DRAFT PROPOSED ORDINANCE REGARDING FISCAL AUTONOMY UNQUOTE. AT A JOINT MEETING WITH COUNTY COUNCIL ANOTHER AVENUE SUGGESTED WAS PURSUING FISCAL AUTONOMY THROUGH THE COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION.

THE DELEGATION WOULD APPROVE AND INTRODUCE LEGISLATION FOR ADOPTION BY THE 2022 GENERAL ASSEMBLY WHICH MAY BE THE BETTER LONG TERM SOLUTION. THE LEGISLATION WOULD GRANT AUTHORITY TO THE COUNTY BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO ADOPT THE DISTRICT'S ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AND TO ESTABLISH THE PROPERTY TAX MILITARY FOR SCHOOL DISTRICT OPERATIONS WITH WITHIN THE LIMITS OF STATE LAW IN ORDER TO GAIN SUPPORT OF THE DELEGATION, BOARD MEMBERS NEED TO CONTACT THE DELEGATES. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED MY REPRESENTATIVE ON THE DELEGATION AND WE HAD AN EXCELLENT CONVERSATION. I WOULD ENCOURAGE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS TO DO THE SAME. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS ARE ALL ELECTED AND THE BOARD IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EDUCATIONAL RESULTS OF THE SCHOOL BUDGET.

SO WE SHOULD HAVE THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORITY TO SET THE BUDGET AND TAX RATE.

>> THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT. >> MR. VAN. >> YES.

[Committee Reports]

>> OK, THANK YOU. WE WILL NOW GO MOVE ON TO THE COMMITTEE REPORTS.

OUR FIRST REPORT IS THE AD HOC RESULTS COMMITTEE THAT MR. OBAMA WAS UP JUST BECAUSE I

KNEW THAT IT WAS COMING. >> I REALLY HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT AT THIS TIME.

WE CONTINUED TO WORK. WE HAVE ANOTHER MEETING. YES, I THINK YOUR MICROPHONE

JUST WENT OFF. >> I'M JUST CURIOUS ABOUT THE NEXT MEETING OF THE AD HOC RESULTS COMMITTEE. IT'S JUNE 2ND OR 11:00 A.M. ET. I HAVE NOTHING TO REPORT AT THIS TIME CASTRO. THANK YOU. NEXT IS THE FINANCE COMMITTEE CHAIR. MR. GEITHNER THANK YOU. MANAGER OF THE PRIMARY POINT OF BUSINESS TODAY IS TO IMPROVE THE QUARTERLY REPORT THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

THEREFORE I HOPE THAT THE BOARD APPROVE THE CURRENT FINANCIAL STATUS OF THE DISTRICT'S OPERATIONS AND ONGOING REFERENDUM 90 PERCENT CAPITAL PROJECTIONS FOR THIS THIRD QUARTER IN THE PERIOD ENDING MARCH 31, 2021. SECOND, THE MOTION WAS MADE BY MR. GALLAGHER. AND SECOND, I MISSPOKE. RIGHT.

ESPECIALLY TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE LOOKED AT THE AUDIT REPORTS REVENUES AND EXPENDITURE ARE WELL WITHIN THE TARGET LIMITS AND 8 PERCENT AND DEBT SERVICING IS WELL WITHIN THE TARGETED LIMITS AND WE FOUND NO OBJECTION TO THE REPORT.

MR. SMITH SAYING. SO YOU GOT THIS AT THE AT THE LAST FINANCIAL FINANCE MEETING? YEAH, IT'S REPORTED HARVEY AGEE NET YOU KNOW, ANONYMOUS I MEAN, YOU KNOW, UNANIMOUS VOTE SEND

[00:20:03]

CAN I SEE THAT THE YOU. ON FEBRUARY 17 WE SWITCHED FROM P E E AND THIS STILL HAS BEEN TIED TO SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE. EASY BUT IT THIS IS GOING TO GUESS AT AND GIVE ANY NAME THAT EVENING WE ARE STILL IN CONVERSATION AND IN PREPARATION OF THE OPERATIONAL EXCUSE ME THE SUPERINTENDENT INTERPRETATIONS OF THE

OPERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS. >> SO I BELIEVE THE FILED VERSIONS OF THOSE ARE BEING WORKED ON THROUGH THE END OF JUNE AND AS SOON AS THOSE ARE PREPARED AND WROCLAW TO BOARD AND ACCEPTED AND THEN WE WILL BE BRINGING FORWARD THE OFFICIAL OBESE GOING FORWARD FROM AFTER THAT POINT. SO AT THIS POINT WE'RE STILL IN LIMBO.

WE'RE STILL SORT OF IN BETWEEN THE TWO POLICY TYPES FEEL HEAT PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS AND THE NEW OPERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS. SO AS SOON AS THOSE ARE FINALIZED WE WERE READY FOR AND THEN BEGIN TO USE THE NEW MONITORING REPORTS THAT IT WAS

ASKING. >> THANK YOU MADAM. I JUST WANTED TO ADD A POINT OF CLARIFICATION. MR. SMITH ASKED IF IT WAS UNANIMOUS.

I BELIEVE THIS WAS AT THE MAY 13 JOINT FINANCE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING AND I WAS NOT IN ATTENDANCE AS THE FINANCE COMMITTEE MEMBER. I WAS IN DC FOR A FUNERAL.

SO I DID NOT VOTE ON THIS. IT WAS UNANIMOUS THAT THE CUBAN MEMBERSHIP FOR THEIR THOUGH NO

ONE ELSE REALLY HAS ISSUE WITH IT. >> SO WE SORRY FOR THAT MATTER

TO BE NO FURTHER HANDS UP. >> WE WILL LOOK AT THE OFFER. THE QUESTION

THE MOTION CARRIES 10 0 1 1 ABSTENTION. >> I'VE ALREADY MADE MY POINT WHY I'M SAYING ALL RIGHT. WE'RE NOW DOWN TO THE OPERATING COMMITTEE AS REPORTED BY CHAIR THIS VILLAGE. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. FROM THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE HAS MET SEVERAL TIMES TO DISCUSS THE 8 PERCENT PROJECTS. I BELIEVE EVERYBODY AS HAS RECEIVED THEIR VOLUMINOUS BINDER THAT SHARES IN GREAT DETAIL WITH VARIOUS 8 PERCENT PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE TO WIN DOWN. SO THIS EVENING AFTER HAVING GONE LINE BY LINE AND UP TO THE VIRGIN FIVE I WORKED TO BRING FORWARD THE FORWARD MOTION.

>> SO I KNOW THAT THE BEAUFORT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 8 PERCENT CAPITAL PROJECTS LIST AS PRESENTED IN THE AMOUNT 21 MILLION TWO HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS FUNDING SHALL COME FROM THE FOLLOWING SOURCES 20 MILLION FROM 8 PERCENT CAPITAL BONDS FOUR HUNDRED NINETY THREE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SIX DOLLARS IN FISCAL YEAR 2016 AND FISCAL YEAR TWO AND 17 COMPLETED 8 PERCENT FUNDS AND SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR DOLLARS OR TWO FUNDS WHERE WILD BRANCH ELEMENTARY WILL REACH MIDDLE SCHOOL REMEDIATION PROJECTS.

>> ADDITIONALLY, RATE REIMBURSEMENTS DID NOT ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND WILL BE USED TO SUPPLEMENT THE FISCAL YEAR 20 COUNTY THREE NETWORK ELECTRONIC PROJECTS THAT THANK YOU. THANK YOU. APPRECIATE THAT.

SECOND MISSPOKE, RIGHT? SO JUST TO FILL IN SOME MORE OF THE GAPS HERE.

TO THE WHOLE BOARD I JUST WANT TO REITERATE THE NUMBERS OF TIMES THAT BIG PROJECTS YOU SEE IN THIS FINAL VERSION HAVE BEEN REVIEWED. THEY WERE REVIEWED OVER AND

[00:25:04]

WE ALSO HAD SOME VISUALS APPLICATION OF THESE PROJECTS WHICH REALLY WAS A FABULOUS DETAIL REAL SEE THAT WHICH IS BEING RECOMMENDED FOR A PERCENT PROJECTS.

SO WE ARE VERY PROUD THE FACT THAT THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY OF THOSE PRESENT IT WAS 2 0 AGREED TO BRING THIS BOY VERSION FORWARD TO THE FULL BOARD.

>> MR. WILLIAMSON. I DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH THIS WITH THE WAY HOW WE BROUGHT THIS BEFORE THE BOARD THIS AFTERNOON. TODAY MR. SCRIPTURE LEARNED IN THE MEETING HE PASSED WITH GRACE AND PORTION AND THAT WAS THAT THE FIRST MEETING.

SO IT KIND OF ANSWERED MY QUESTION IN THE LAST MEETING WHEN I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WE GOT HOW WE GOT THIS. THE TO THIS PROCESS THAT WE HAVE NOW VERSUS THE PROCESS THAT WE'VE HAD IN PAST PRACTICES AND WISH AND WISH THAT THAT IS OF THE WE WE VOTED ON THE ACTUAL FUNDING OF EACH PROJECTS, NOT JUST THE PROJECTS.

AND YOU KNOW THE WHERE WE CAN GO FROM A TO Z. AND YOU KNOW, YOU WERE NOT REALLY EXACTLY SHOT. HOW ARE WE NOT SURE HOW MUCH MONEY THE PRODUCT IS GOING TO ACTUALLY COST VS.. WE KNEW EXACTLY HOW MUCH THE PROJECT WAS GOING TO COST AND WHERE WOULD MAX OUT AT. AND WE KNEW WHERE THE OVERFLOW OF MONEY WOULD GO IF THERE WERE ANY MONEY LEFT OVER IT WOULD GO TOWARDS THE NEXT 8 PERCENT PROJECTS.

AND THAT'S NOT WHAT TOOK PLACE . AND SO YOU KNOW, IT GOES OFF A LITTLE BIT OF TRANSPARENCY TO THE PUBLIC. SO AT THIS TIME THE WAY WE HAVE WE CURRENTLY HAVE IT BECAUSE OF THAT I CAN'T SO I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS MOTION.

I MEAN MAYBE MR. MYSTERY, MR. MAY, MR. SCRIBBLES YOU CAN TALK TO THAT A LITTLE AS WELL BECAUSE IN THE AD THAT'S AFTER I THOUGHT ABOUT IT. IT'S A GREAT CONCERN.

THANK YOU, MR. SCOTT AGAIN. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. >> YEAH, I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS. MY POINT IN BRINGING THAT UP WAS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THAT THERE WAS A SUBTLE DIFFERENCE THAT DIDN'T JUMP OUT BETWEEN THIS YEAR AND

LAST YEAR 8 PERCENT. >> I'M NOT OPPOSED TO IT BUT I'M WANTING TO MAKE SURE WE WERE ALL AWARE OF THAT DIFFERENCE AND JUST DIDN'T SLIDE BY.

AND THEN A COUPLE OF YEARS WE SAY OH JEEZ I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE DOING THAT.

IT ISN'T DIFFERENCE AS AS MR. SMITH POINTED OUT WHERE WE USED TO APPROVE A SET NUMBER OF PROJECTS AND ANY MONEY LEFT OVER WOULD BE ROLLED FORWARD TO THE NEXT FUNDING CYCLE.

AND THEN THE BONDING AMOUNT REDUCED AND THIS ONE WE'RE VOTING FOR A SET AMOUNT AND IF THERE'S MONEY LEFT OVER FROM THOSE PROJECTS ABOVE THE BLACK LINE THEN THEY START GETTING

APPLIED TO THOSE PROJECTS BELOW THE BLOCK BY KIND. >> SO THERE IS JUST KIND OF A SUBTLE DIFFERENCE. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY NOTICED THAT THE EPA MOTION IS LIKE THAT. SANDUSKY HAVE A QUESTION SAYING I'M SORRY THAT MY HAND WAS UP.

>> I JUST HAD A QUICK QUESTION AND PERHAPS PATRICIA OR FOR ROBERT IN REGARD TO HOW B IS THIS APPROVED LIST WAS MATCHED MARRIED AGAINST ANYTHING THAT WOULD QUALIFY TO USE FOR S OR AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN FUNDS BECAUSE IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING SOME THINGS RELATIVE TO AGE BACK AND ROOFING AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I ACCEPT SO NEARLY YES. SO AS FAR AS S ARE TWO FUNDS I'LL START THERE THAT MONEY HAS ALREADY BEEN SPENT AND DEDICATED. THERE IS A REFUND WE ARE GETTING THAT WE'RE NOTING IN HERE OF COURSE IN THIS BITTER TENDER OCEAN FOR THE MOTOR MEDIATION THAT WE HAD DONE THAT TO WILL GRANT SCOOT AS FAR AS S OR THREE FINDINGS THERE IS A

[00:30:03]

WE HAVE NOT DEDICATED ANY PROJECTS OR FUNDING FOR THAT PURPOSE AT THIS TIME BUT WE COULD INCLUDE ROOFS, FURNITURE AND ALSO HUAC AND OF COURSE. AS A SENIOR STAFF WORKING ON THAT AND I HAVE A LONG WE DON'T KNOW THE EXACT AMOUNT OR HOW WE'RE GOING TO DISTRIBUTE THAT FUNDING AT THIS TIME BUT I HAVE A LONG LIST OF PROJECTS THAT ONCE WE DO GET TO THE AMOUNT I AM SURE THAT I CAN FIND PROJECTS THAT HAVE BEEN THAT. SO IT'S UNDEFINED AT THIS TIME.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH MONEY IS SPENT TOWARDS FACILITIES BUT I CAN SEE THAT.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> THAT LAST TAIL END OF THAT. WHY DOES THAT TONY WANT TO ADD ANYTHING TO THAT? SHE SAID NO. THAT PRETTY MUCH AUSTRALIA

WHERE WE ARE. >> OK. SO TO ASK HER TO FIND IT'S BEEN SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND FOUR WHALE BRANCH ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE ARE THOSE THE ONLY ANSWER TO FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED AND TYPES OF FACILITIES REPAIRS? YES, THAT IS RIGHT. OK, AND THIS MIGHT BE A QUESTION FOR TANYA.

DO WE KNOW ABOUT THAT AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN HOW MUCH THAT WAS AGAIN?

>> YES. WANT TO ADD ON THE TWO FUNDS THAT WE RECEIVED APPROVAL OF THAT ALLOCATION THIS WEEK AND SO WE DO HAVE APPROVAL THIS WHICH INCLUDES THE SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND OF THOSE MEDIATION FOR WORLD

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS. >> AS FOR US AFTER THREE FUNDS THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN PLAN.

WE WORK WE ARE RECEIVING FIFTY POINT NINE MILLION. WE JUST RECEIVED THAT ALLOCATION I BELIEVE. LAST WEEK OR THE WEEK BEFORE. AND SO WE'VE ALREADY ALLOCATED OR SUBMITTED REQUEST DOCUMENTATION REQUESTS TO OUR SENIOR STAFF MEMBERS.

WE'VE ASKED THEM TO COMPILE LISTINGS OF THEIR REQUESTED ITEMS AND SUBMIT THAT BACK TO ME AND TO THOSE SPECIAL REVENUE OFFICE AND THEN WE ARE PLANNING WE HAVE A MEETING MY END TO DISCUSS THE PRIORITIZATION OF THOSE FUNDS AS WELL. SO WE'RE IN THE VERY BEGINNING STAGES. THE ACTUAL APPLICATION PLAN IS DUE TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT IN

ALL THIS MEETING. OK, THANK YOU, MR. SMITH. >> AND JUST TO ACTUALLY GET TO GO TO MY SECOND POINT, I JUST WANT UNLESS YOU TOUCHED ON A LITTLE BIT BUT ALSO I ALSO DO CONCERNED THAT WE ARE THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD AND I WAS TOLD EARLY AT THE END OF LAST WEEK THAT THESE THAT WASHINGTON D.C. WAS SENDING MORE MONEY DOWN FOR FOR THE FOR THE FUND

FOR BUILDING. >> SO THAT THAT WILL BE ALL BUT THAT THAT THAT MONEY COULD BE ALLOCATED TOWARDS LIKE PROJECTS LIKE A PERCENT. SO I'M I'M CONCERNED THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THE 8 PERCENT PROJECTS AND THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE PUSHING MONEY FOR EXACTLY THINGS AS AS TEDIOUS AS THESE ARE HERE AS THESE PROJECTS.

SO I'M LOOKING TO SIGN THAT THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO WAIT AND THAT WE'RE USING THIS MONEY OR BORROWING MONEY TO DO THIS AND WHEN WE SHOULD NOT BE THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO BE IS GOING TO PROVIDE SOME MONEY FOR US TO DO THIS. SO THAT'S THAT THEN THAT'S ANOTHER CONCERN THAT I HAVE MOVING FORWARD. THANK YOU, MR. OKATIE.

THANK YOU. THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION IN THE COMMITTEE ABOUT HOW DO WE USE FUNDS OTHER THAN 8 PERCENT TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE REALLY EXTENSIVE LIST OF ITEMS THAT NEED TO BE DONE. AND AS MANY OF YOU GET AROUND TO OUR SCHOOLS THIS PAST WEEK HONORING OUR TEACHERS OF THE YEAR AND OUR STAFF OF THE YEAR, WE HAVE SEEN THAT THE NEEDS IN THE SCHOOLS IS VERY GREAT AND THIS IS REALLY THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG FOR THESE EIGHT PERCENT PROJECTS. I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT THAT WITH MISS CROSBY'S PERSISTENCE WE DID IDENTIFY ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF FUNDS THAT ARE GOING TO ENABLE US TO KEEP WORKING DOWN THIS LIST OF 8 PERCENT PROJECTS. MS. CROSBY, IF YOU WOULD. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING. WE HAVE NO GUARANTEE OF REIMBURSEMENT OF THAT FIFTY POINT NINE MILLION DOLLARS AT THIS TIME.

SO IF WE SPEND MONEY RIGHT NOW. AND COUNTING ON GETTING THAT REIMBURSEMENT, IT HAS TO GO THROUGH AN APPLICATION PROCESS ,RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.

SO WE DID NOT WANT TO IDENTIFY PROJECTS WOULD SOLELY BE KEPT IN THAT FIFTY POINT NINE MILLION DOLLAR CATEGORY IN THE ANTICIPATION. JUST WHY WOULD WE IGNORE

[00:35:04]

WE FEEL IT'S BEEN EXTREMELY WELL VETTED. WE THINK WITH THE IDENTIFICATION OF ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF FUNDING IS APPROPRIATE.

AND SO I AGAIN AM PROUD OF THE COMMITTEE'S WORK AND AGAIN THIS FINAL VERSION THAT WE'RE PRESENTING THIS EVENING. THE OTHER MOTION WAS A UNANIMOUS OF THOSE PRESENT AT

THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE IS RIBAUT. >> YES, I ATTENDED SEVERAL OPERATIONS COMMUNITY UNIONS AND I DO WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THE DETAIL THAT YOU SPENT THAT YOUR COMMITTEE SPENT GOING THROUGH LINE BY LINE. EXCELLENT QUESTIONS WERE ASKED . I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT EXERCISE IN LOOKING TO MAKE SURE WE'RE SPENDING THE MONEY WHERE IT REALLY NEEDED TO BE SPENT.

AND I THANK YOU. >> THERE'LL BE NO FURTHER HANDS UP.

THE QUESTION WAS CALLED YES, THE MOTION CARRIES 10 0 1 1 1 ABSTENTION IS MR. SMITH.

MR. WILLIAM SMITH THE STUFF YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MY NEXT GUEST WE KNOW I MEAN I HEAR THE FOOTAGE THAT BY NO ALSO THAT WILL BE CORRECTED IN THESE PROCEEDINGS.

THANK YOU. THE NEXT ITEM ON THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE AGENDA IS TO HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE. IS MR. CORPORATE ON LINE WITH YOU?

>> OH, THAT'S RIGHT. UNFORTUNATELY MR. COURTROOM IS UNDER THE WEATHER THIS TIME SO I'LL TAKE. I'LL DO MY BEST. WHAT I WOULD HIGHLIGHT IS WHAT I WOULD SAY IS THAT WE HAVE 24 SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW WITH PROJECTS GOING ON OF THOSE 24 SCHOOLS.

WE HAVE THREE LINES. SO I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH THOSE YELLOW LIGHTS ON THOSE.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE YOU'RE INTERESTED IN PILLSBURY WHEN I GET THROUGH THE YELLOW LIGHTS WILL COME BACK ADDRESSING THE QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE. SO ON PAGE 8, ROBIN, THE FIRST ONE THAT'S FILLED IN ON SCHOOLS FOR CREATIVE ARTS THIS ONE WE DISCUSSED I THINK AT THE LAST MEETING HAVING TO DO WITH THE TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE WHERE I'D BE IN SCHOOL FROM CREATE OR HOLD THAT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO BE CREATIVE ARTS ARE CONNECTED IN CONCERN WITH GIVING BOTH OF THOSE SCHOOLS COMPLETED THIS SUMMER. SO WE ARE FOCUSING ON THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL WHICH IS THE HUB AND WE ARE NOT DOING SCHOOL FOR THE CREATIVE ARTS AT THIS TIME. SO THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE YELLOW LIGHT.

WE ARE PROPOSED POSTPONING THAT UNTIL NEXT SUMMER AT BLUFFTON ELEMENTARY WHICH IS THE NEXT PAGE. PAGE NOT IN THE BOTH IN EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER THAT IS ALSO THE YELLOW LIGHT FOR THAT SAME REASON THE HUB ON THAT CAMPUS IS THAT 18 MCCRACKEN.

IN OTHER WORDS THE NETWORK COMES UP THE RATING THE CRACK AT AN INFORMATION CRACK AND IT GOES TO BLOCK THE ELEMENTARY. WE GOING TO AGAIN FOCUS ON A CHEAPER CRACK AND GET THAT DONE THIS SUMMER. AND WE WILL HAVE TO ADDRESS BLUFFTON ELEMENTARY AT A LATER SUMMER HOPEFULLY MAYBE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR MOST LIKELY NEXT SUMMER.

>> IF YOU GO TO PAGE 14 YOU HAVE A YELLOW LINE AT BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL.

NOW THIS IS AN EIGHT PERCENT PROJECT HAVING TO DO WITH PAINTING.

THIS WAS TO PAINT THE ENTIRE BUILDING OF BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL.

THAT MEANS CLASSROOM OR FIRST JUST A LARGE SCALE PROJECT. WE HAD A PLAN IN PLACE TO BEGIN ACTUALLY NOW STARTING TO WORK NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS BUT THE PRICE WAS ESCALATED DUE TO ALL THE OVERTIME THAT WE WERE LOOKING AT DOING TO CONDENSE IT INTO THAT SCHEDULE AND WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT JUST GETTING IT DONE ON THE TIMELINE. WE ARE ONLY GOING TO DO HALF OF THAT THIS SUMMER. WHERE DO THE CLASSROOMS AND THEY COME BACK NEXT SUMMER AND DO THE CORRIDORS EXPECTING YOU TO GET A A BETTER PRICE AND DOING THAT AND NOT HAVE SUCH A SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS ON GETTING THAT PROJECT DONE A HIGH SCHOOL.

IT'S JUST A MASSIVE PROJECT TRYING TO GET IT DONE IN SIX WEEKS.

THIS IS A LOT. SO WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON COMPLETING OR OTHERS AND DIVIDE

[00:40:05]

THAT PROJECT IN. >> IF YOU WOULD GO TO 19 THIS IS A YELLOW LIGHT BUT I'D JUST LIKE TO SHOW WE HAVE SOME PICTURES THERE OF BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL WEIGHT ROOM CONSTRUCTION THAT STARTED TO RECOGNIZE THAT THAT PROJECT IS UNDERWAY AND MOVING FORWARD IF YOU WOULD GO ON TO OKATIE. SO THAT WAS ALL THE YELLOW LIGHTS AND AS FAR AS PROJECTS GOES, IF THERE ARE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON PROJECTS, I'LL JUST STOP FOR A SECOND.

>> HEARING MARILYN I'M GOING TO GO ON TO THIS PICKET FENCE ON BOTH SIDES.

>> MR. ALI, I APOLOGIZE FOR INTERRUPTING. IT'S NOT A QUESTION AS MUCH AS I REALLY JUST WANTED TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD ABOUT ONE OF THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THAT'S GOING I HAD THAT GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO BE A BEAUFORT ELEMENTARY WHERE THEIR TEACHER OF THE YEAR AND STAFF MEMBER OF THE YEAR CEREMONY AND WHILE I WAS THERE THE PRINCIPAL WAS OVER THE TOP IN HER COMMENT ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT SHE REYNOLDS WAS PROVIDING TO BEAUFORT ELEMENTARY. I ALSO TOOK A TOUR WITH BOBBY CONSTRUCTION.

HE IS ONE OF THE PROJECT MANAGERS JOB SUPERINTENDENT, JOBS SUPERINTENDENT.

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT AREA AND TOURED AND HAD 80 TO 90 WORKERS THERE DURING THE SCHOOL DAY.

THEY DID NOT DISRUPT THE SCHOOL DAY AT ALL AND JUST THE GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE LOVE TO HEAR WHEN THINGS ARE GOING WELL.

SO IF YOUR LITTLE PIECE 34 JUST REAL QUICK TALK ON THE CLOSEOUT OUT.

WE RE BACKS CCL LIGHTS THERE. THEY'RE CLOSING OUT SOME PROJECTS AND THEN I KNOW COLONEL GEIER IS ONE OF HIS THINGS AND I'M TELLING HIM WE'RE WORKING ON BUT WE HAVE SOME THAT FALL BEHIND IT BUT WE'RE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE I HOPE WITHIN THE NEXT MONTH THE MAJORITY OF THOSE YELLOW LIGHTS WILL BE TURNED WILL ACTUALLY GO OFF THE PAGE BECAUSE WE'VE CLOSED OUT. BUT WE ARE BEHIND ON A FEW OF OUR PROJECTS FOR BUT WE HAVE CLOSED OUT FROM ONE WHICH WAS A SMALL PROJECT TO SEE IF YOU GO ON TO PAGE 37.

THIS IS THE CASH FLOW AGAINST OUR PROJECTIONS. AND I WOULD JUST LIKE TO NOTE THAT IN THE MONTH OF APRIL, WHICH WAS THE LAST MONTH THAT WE FINISHED UP, WE MET OUR PROJECTION DEBT ON A THREE POINT FIVE MILLION. SO FOR APRIL WE WERE PROJECTED

TO BE FIFTY NINE POINT FIVE SEVEN. >> AND WE'RE AT FIFTY FIVE POINT TWO SO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THREE OR FOUR MILLION UNDER WE ARE TRACKING NICELY AND I'M

SEEING ALL THE PROPOSALS AND PAYOFFS COMING THROUGH. >> I FEEL CONFIDENT WE'RE GONNA

BE CATCHING UP HERE PRETTY QUICKLY. >> SO THE LAST THING IF I CAN POINT OUT IS PAGE THIRTY NINE, THIS COMMUNITY OUTREACH. I'D JUST LIKE TO NOTE THAT WHERE I THINK I REPORTED TO YOU LAST TIME ABOUT THE MEETING IN APRIL WITH A SMALL ASSOCIATION WE HAVE ONE THAT WE'RE SCHEDULING IN JUNE AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH THE ALUMNI GROUP AND I HAVE TO THANK MR. CAMPBELL.

HE GAVE US SOME CONNECTIONS AND WE REACHED OUT TO A LOT OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH AIDING HISTORY AND PICTURES. ROBERT SMALLS AND MAKING SURE THEY'RE INCORPORATE INTO THE FINAL PRODUCT OF THE BUILDING ITSELF. VERY EXCITED ON HOW THAT'S GOING TO TURN OUT. I'M LOOKING AT PROBABLY BRINGING THE GNP FOR YOU, ROBERT SMALLS AND THAT'S SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO. AND ALSO NOTE I THINK WE NOTED

THIS LAST TIME AS WELL WAS ASIC MEETING WITH YOU FOR. >> SO IN FACT THAT LEASE MY CONSTRUCTION UPDATE REPORT. AND I'LL LICENSEE HE AND HIS TEAM ON.

>> THANK YOU, ROBERT. >> HANDS UP. >> CONTINUE ON.

>> AND LASTLY, I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD THAT WE HAD A PRESENTATION SHOWN PROMISE WALTON AND HER TEAM REGARDING THE COMPENSATION STUDY.

THIS IS FOR THE BOARD'S INFORMATION ONLY AS THERE IS NO ACTION REQUIRED.

THIS WILL BE AN INTERNAL H BAR PROJECT AND THEY WILL DO FUNDING HERE THROUGH A CHARGE GO OUT FOR IT FOR THIS COMPENSATION STUDY. SO IN YOUR GET WORK OPS EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO SEE SOME OF THE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR THE STUDY AND THIS WHOLE IS AVAILABLE. ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS? I DO NOT WANT TO POINT OUT

[00:45:01]

SO MISS WALTON, HER TEAM IS HERE. ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT H. RS COMPENSATION STUDY WISNIEWSKI?

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I JUST HAD A QUESTION IN REGARD TO THE THINGS THAT WERE CONTEMPLATED DURING THE CREATION OF THE SCOPE FOR THIS AND THAT DELIVERABLES WAS THERE DISCUSSION HAD REGARDING OTHER TYPES OF COMPENSATION OR COMPETITIVE BENEFIT PACKAGES, THINGS LIKE THAT BEYOND JUST THE SET SALARY SCHEDULE? WAS THERE CONVERSATION ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF BENEFITS AND THINGS LIKE THAT THAT COULD MAKE EVEN MORE COMPETITIVE AGAINST OTHER DISTRICTS THAT MIGHT NOT OFFER THOSE INCENTIVES? WE THAT'S WITH MESQUITE WE DID NOT INCLUDE THAT BECAUSE TYPICALLY A COMPENSATION STUDY DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH SALARIES THAT WE PAY. WE GET INTO OTHER BENEFITS THAT WE WOULD CONSIDER AS PART. BUT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO INSTITUTE.

AND IF THAT'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO LOOK AT OUTSIDE OF THIS STUDY WE CAN CERTAINLY DO THAT.

>> YES, MA'AM. I THINK THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR US TO LOOK AT WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS MIGHT BE DOING TO INCENTIVIZE PEOPLE COMING INTO THEIR DISTRICT AS OPPOSED TO JUST THE SALARIES BECAUSE I DO KNOW THAT BENEFITS ARE ATTRACTIVE TO A LOT OF PEOPLE AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE DO ALSO NEED TO LOOK INTO.

SO I'M NOT SURE ABOUT MY OTHER FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS BUT I THINK THAT THAT WOULD

DEFINITELY BE SOMETHING WE SHOULD CONSIDER DOING. >> RIBAUT I'M SURE.

I AGREE COMPLETELY WITH DR. WISNIEWSKI THESE TYPES OF JOBS THAT HAVE USUALLY FACT BENEFIT PACKAGES AND THAT'S ONE OF THE INCENTIVES AND AS WE KNOW SALARY IS JUST ONE COMPONENT OF RETAINING TEACHERS. SO AT SOME POINT WE'VE GOT TO GET THE WHOLE THING PUT TOGETHER BUT JUST FOR COMPENSATION THOSE BENEFITS HAD QUITE A BIT TO IT.

SO KIND OF NEED TO GET THAT FULL PICTURE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS BUT WE REALLY SHOULD TAKE IT SO THAT WE CAN PROJECT THE PROPER PICTURE OF OF COMPLETE COMPENSATION PACKAGE. I KNOW AN INDUSTRY WE JUST ALWAYS DO THAT.

YOU'D HAVE A PERCENTAGE THAT YOU ADDED TO YOUR BASE SALARY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR TOTAL COMPENSATION PACKAGE WAS, BASICALLY WHAT YOUR CONTRACT WAS WITH THE COMPANY.

SO I THINK THAT'S A REAL GOOD IDEA. I THINK WE SHOULD DO IT AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE STEP WOULD BE TO DO THAT MISS THE

STRATEGY. >> WE CERTAINLY CAN DO THAT AND I WILL BRING TO THE BOYS ATTENTION THAT IN TERMS OF OUR BENEFIT PACKAGE THE DISTRICT DOES TAKE UP A PORTION PORTION OF EMPLOYEES HEALTHCARE THAT WE PAY A PART OF . WE PAY AN EXTRA PORTION OF HEALTH CARE. I'M LOOKING FOR MY WORD HERE HEALTH CARE COST FROM THE DISTRICT WE TAKE AND I'M NOT SURE IT MIGHT BE TIED TO YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUMP IN ON THIS.

IT MIGHT BE 2 PERCENT OR 3 PERCENT THAT WE TAKE ON AS DISTRICT THAT MOST DISTRICTS DON'T TAKE ON. SO WE HAVE SOME THINGS ALREADY IN PLACE.

I AGREE THAT WE DON'T TELL THEM ENOUGH THAT WE PROBABLY NEED TO DO THAT BUT WE WILL CERTAINLY BE ABLE TO OR HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THE THINGS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ADD TO MAKE A

COMPLETE PACKAGE RESPONDED WHICH IS TO BE DETERMINED. >> I WAS GOING TO SAY I AGREE

[00:50:01]

AND WE DISCUSSED WITH THE COMMITTEE THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSET YOU GET THE WHOLE THING STRAIGHT, NOT JUST PART OF IT. AND SO WE WANTED TO LOOK AT TEACHER SALARIES AND LOOK AT THE WHOLE SPECTRUM OF COMPENSATION AND REALLY WE'RE IN A COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR ATTRACTING WORKERS AND WE'RE A DESIRABLE PLACE TO LIVE AS THOSE CHARLESTON. SO SAVANNAH.

AND I THINK I MAY BE WRONG I'M SPEAKING FOR DR. WISNIEWSKI HERE BUT I KIND OF GOT THE IMPRESSION YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT LIKE MAYBE SOME BALLOT BOX BENEFITS NOT JUST HEALTH CARE AND RETIREMENT BUT MAYBE I KNOW SOME PLACES IN HEALTH AND NURSING SHORTAGES THEY'RE PAYING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THEY'RE YOU STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS. THERE'S A LOT OF CREATIVE THINKING THAT PEOPLE ARE DOING TO ATTRACT TALENT. SO I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND APPRECIATIVE OF HER BRINGING IT UP. I THINK MAYBE MR. OBAMA'S MISFIRES CAN SPEAK TO THIS.

YOU KNOW, THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE WITHIN THE NEXT STAFF TO START TALKING ABOUT WHAT

WHAT THE NEXT WOULD BE PERCENTAGE THAT WAS EXACTLY. >> SO I WAS GOING TO SUGGEST TO THE BOARD I SEE THIS AS A PROCESS WE'RE STARTING WITH THIS COMPENSATION STUDY WHEN THOSE RESULTS COME BACK. WE'VE ALREADY EXPRESSED THIS WILL 10:00 THAT DURING AN OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING WE WILL BE DISCUSSING WHAT YOU KNOW, WHAT IS IT GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR A TEACHER STUDY? YOU KNOW HOW JUST COMPARING TO SAVANNAH, CHARLESTON AND SO ON.

AND IN COMMITTEE WE ALSO DISCUSSED ABOUT THE LOCALITY SUPPLEMENT IS THE LOCALITY SUPPLEMENT KNOW THAT WE AGREE ON OVER YEAR. IS THAT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD JUST BE ROLLED OVER? SO I SEE IT AS IT IS A STEP BY STEP PROCESS FROM START WITH THE RESULTS OF THE COMPENSATION STUDY PARALLEL TO THAT IS GOING TO BE AS H.R. LOOKING INTO PRESENTING TO US WHAT OTHER DISTRICTS DO POLLING AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS LIKE WHAT I JUST MENTIONED I KNOW THAT TEACHERS EVERY YEAR GET A OUT MISS WRONG REPORT.

IT IS THEY STILL DO AND IT TALKS ABOUT THOSE UNSEEN BENEFITS AND ACTUALLY GIVES A FINANCIAL ALLOTMENT TO WHAT THOSE BENEFITS WOULD EQUAL. SO TEACHERS RECEIVE HOW MUCH MORE THAN JUST WHAT COMES HOME TO THEM IN THEIR PAYCHECK. SO WITH THE BOARD'S CONSENT I WOULD LIKE THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE TO KIND OF DEVELOP A PLAN, A PROCESS OF HOW WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY TO INCLUDE THAT WHICH MISS THE DOCTOR WAS NEVSKY JUST

MENTIONED AND SO ON. >> MR. WILLIAMSON MY CONCERN IS THAT I DO I DO SHARE HERE WITH

THAT THAT THIS WAS BROUGHT TO ASSIST TO GIVE US AN UPDATE. >> BUT I FEEL THAT WE CAN GET MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK THEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FILM WAS FINISHED SAYING THAT THIS IS A PROCESS AND A STEP BY STEP. BUT I THINK WE CAN PUT IT AND WE CAN PACKAGE IT ALL IN ONE.

I THINK THAT WE WILL POSSIBLY EVEN SPEND SPEND LESS. IT'S THE SAME THING WITH THE COMES IN CHINA. AND IN TERMS OF OF BRINGING PROPOSALS OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION TO TALK TO THE FULL BOARD AND INTO IN TERMS OF BUYING, BUYING, BUYING A MATERIAL, I THINK WE WE CAN GET MORE BANG FOR OUR BUCK. I THINK THAT THAT THEN WE SHOULD PACKAGES AND DO THIS AT ONE TIME VERSUS WAITING AND DOING IT STEP BY STEP.

WHAT WE GET A WE GET THE ANSWERS THAT WE NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

THANK YOU. A LONG STORY SHORT. THANK YOU.

MR. CAMPBELL, MY SON LIKE MY END GOAL BUT THIS CONVERSATION HERE AS IT IS TO RETAIN TEACHERS THEN WE ALSO HAVE TO PHASE IN THE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERS AND THEIR IDEA OF HOW WE CAN GET THE TEACHERS TO TRY AND KEEP ON YOU KNOW, BACK THE SITUATION FOR OF INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY NOT WANT TO HANG TOO AFTER ALL BECAUSE THEY'RE SITTING IN CERTAIN KIND RESTRAINED THE JUST RACE THAT IT IS OUR BUILDS OR OUR WHAT IS RETENTION?

>> YOU KNOW, STRUCTURE STRUCTURE THAT LEADERS HAVE TO BUILD WHAT IS GOOD AND YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOOD RETENTION TENSION THE TALIBAN IN EVERY WAR NEW EFFORT.

>> HOW ARE WE GOING TO RETAIN THOSE AS MY BEST MIND BEFORE YOU KNOW WE WENT TOO FAR IN ONE DIRECTION AND LIKE YOU KNOW, FOR ME TO GO AND AND NOBODY NEEDS DARYL KIMBALL.

>> YEAH. >> AND ALSO WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING TO CAUSE

WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT DISTRICT AND SEE WHAT LOOKING AT DOING. >> BUT TOM, WE HAVE TO MAKE

[00:55:06]

THINK ABOUT SOME TIME LIKE YOU JUST MAKE A FEW COMMENTS TO ME COMPENSATION STUDY IS A MISNOMER TO BE COMPENSATION INCLUDES YOU ASSETS AND I JUST LOOKED UP THE DEFINITION OF COMPENSATION WHILE I'VE BEEN TALKING COMPENSATION IS A TOTAL CASH AND NON-CASH PAYMENTS THAT YOU GIVE TO AN EMPLOYEE IN EXCHANGE FOR THE WORK THEY DO FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

>> IT'S MORE THAN AN EMPLOYEES REGULAR PAID WAGES. IT INCLUDES MANY OTHER TYPES OF WAGES BENEFITS BEYOND BASE PAY TO BE THEIR HOURLY SALARY WAGES.

I DO THINK THAT AS PART IS WE ABSOLUTELY MUST DEFINE WHAT EACH EMPLOYEE AND MAYBE IT'S STANDARD FOR ALL THE EMPLOYEES THEY ARE RECEIVING IN BENEFITS BEYOND THEIR BASE PAY.

AND THAT SHOULD INCLUDE EVEN YOU KNOW THOSE DISTRICTS COMP CONTRIBUTION TO THEIR HEALTH CARE IF WE HAVE SOME KIND OF ONE OF THE HEALTH CARE ACTUALLY HAS A SMALL DEATH BENEFIT WITH IT. IT WOULD INCLUDE ACTUALLY SICK DAYS.

WHAT? YOU KNOW HOW MANY SICK DAYS THEY ARE ALLOWED OR VACATION DAYS? HOW MANY DAYS THEIR CONTRACT IS THAT ALL ADDS UP TO REALLY WHAT THEIR WHAT THEIR COMPENSATION IS. AND TO ME THAT SHOULD DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED JUST A STRAIGHT BASE PAY SALARY OR HOURLY WAGES.

YES, THIS IS PORTION OF THEIR COMPENSATION THAT NEEDS TO INCLUDE WHAT WHAT THE I GUESS YOU GET A LOT BETTER TERM WOULD BE BENEFITS INCLUDED. SO AND I'M NOT SURE.

I JUST THINK THAT REALLY HAS TO BE WELL DEFINED WHERE A STUDY IS DONE WHAT WHAT IS INCLUDED

IN BEYOND THEIR BASE PAY. >> MADAM CHAIR, CAN I ADDRESS THAT? CERTAINLY. EVERY YEAR EMPLOYEES RECEIVE THEIR COMPENSATION PACKAGE IN TERMS NUMBERS, THERE'S THEIR BASE SALARY. THERE ARE SICK LEAVE IS ADDED IN THERE ANY BENEFITS THAT WE PAY OVER AND ABOVE THEIR COST IS ADDED IN THERE AND THEY GET A TOTAL NUMBER FOR THEIR COMPENSATION IF AN EMPLOYEE EARNS SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR THERE'S GONNA BE ABOUT 30 PERCENT MORE ADDED SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WHICH WOULD INCLUDE THEIR BENEFITS PACKAGE WHAT WE PAY FOR SICK LEAVE AND ANYTHING WE'VE PUT IN EXTRA OUTSIDE OF THEIR BASE PAY SO I MIGHT GET SEVENTY THOUSAND IN BASE BUT ONCE I ADD AND ADD IN THOSE BENEFITS IT'S GONNA BE ONE HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS AND EVERY YEAR WE SEND OUT THAT INFORMATION TO EACH EMPLOYEE BASED ON THEIR BASE PAY.

SO THEY DO SEE THAT EVERY SO I THINK THAT THEY GIVE ME YOUR EXPLANATION.

YEAH IT THIS INDUSTRY STANDARD IT SEEMS LIKE IN MOST FOR MOST EMPLOYERS TYPICALLY BENEFITS AT TWENTY FIVE TO 30 PERCENT. SO THE TWO TO THE EMPLOYEES BASE PAY.

SO I JUST THINK WE NEED TO HAVE A GOOD HANDLE ON WHAT IS THAT PERCENTAGE.

FOR THE DISTRICT FOR I HOPE IT VARIES BY BY JOB DUTY OR BY YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT OR HOW THAT

VARIES. >> THAT IS CORRECT. AND TONYA YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF I'M I HAVE MY NUMBERS WRONG HERE BUT WHEN WE CALCULATE HIRING A STAFF MEMBER WE FIGURE THIS BASE PAY AND WE ADD ABOUT 33 PERCENT MORE TO THAT TO INCLUDE BENEFIT.

I RIGHT. TONYA ACTUALLY IT'S MORE LIKE FORTY ONE PERCENT WE COUNT THAT INCLUDES HEALTH INSURANCE, RETIREE HEALTH, RETIREMENT, ALONENESS 21 PERCENT SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE IT'S ABOUT 8 PERCENT AND ABOUT ANOTHER 10 PERCENT IS OUR HEALTH INSURANCE

BENEFIT. >> SO WE ARGUE IT'S ACTUALLY ABOUT AN AVERAGE ACROSS OUR

BOYS ABOUT 41 PERCENT. >> LET ME GUESS I BET THAT'S PRETTY GENEROUS COMPARED VERY, VERY GENEROUS. BURIED THERE WE WERE HAPPY. WE WILL BE HAPPY TO BRING BACK WHAT WE ALREADY OFFER EMPLOYEES ALONG WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS AS WHAT WE COULD POSSIBLY ADD INTO THAT AND THE COST FOR THAT WORK OR MAYBE IT NEEDS RECONFIGURATION.

>> YOU KNOW, I GUESS YOU CAN FIND THAT OUT AS WE LOOK AS WE LOOK AT SOMETHING CUTE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS. MR. CAMPBELL, WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS TO YOUR PARENTS AND EACH TIME QUESTIONS FOR THE CARE. WE DON'T WANT TO PAYING OUR

[01:00:08]

CORRECT WALTON? >> THAT'S CORRECT. THIS COMPENSATION STUDY REALLY IS GEARED FOR CLASSIFIED STAFF THAT WOULD INCLUDE ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT STAFF AND YOU WERE ADMINISTRATORS IF YOU WILL GO TO THE LAST BULLET AND OUR GOALS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING AT THE VERY BEGINNING.

ROBIN, JUST GO TO THE TOP AND THE LAST BULLET IN THE TOP THAT IS THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING AN INCREASE IN THE STARTING SALARY AND EXTENDING YEARS OF SERVICE FOR TEACHERS.

THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDED AND WE WILL BRING THAT TO THE BOARD ALONG WITH THE COST.

BUT THIS COMPENSATION STUDY WILL TAKE ADMINISTRATORS AND CLASSIFIED STAFF LOOK AT THEIR CURRENT SALARY, LOOK AT THEIR CURRENT JOB DESCRIPTIONS AND DETERMINE BASED ON THE MARKET IF THEY'RE WHERE THEY NEED TO BE IN TERMS OF SALARY RANGES. SO IT INCLUDES EVERYONE IN THE DISTRICT EXCEPT FOR TEACHERS. AND IF WE ADD THE RECOMMENDATION FOR STEP INCREASES FROM BEGINNING DOWN TO THE TWENTY FOUR A WHEREVER THE DISTRICT WANTS TO LAND ON THAT THEN IT DOES BRING IN TEACHERS. BUT THAT'S WHAT THE LOCAL BOARD WOULD HAVE TO DO. IT DOESN'T COME FROM THE STATE OR THE LEGISLATURE LIKE YOU, MISS WARNER. I JUST WANT TO BRING THAT TO THE ATTENTION JUST BECAUSE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT THE IDEA ABOUT TEACHERS NOT WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT IN COMMITTEE WE TALKED ABOUT OTHER STAFF MEMBERS AS WAS AS BUS DRIVERS AND OTHER POSITIONS AS WELL.

AND I WILL SAY I DO AGREE WITH WHAT THAT WAS THAT I WAS SHE TALKS ABOUT THE EQUALITY.

EQUALITY IS VERY IMPORTANT IN THIS DISTRICT AND MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE GIVING OUR TEACHERS THE BEST AND THE BEST SUPPORT WE'RE PUTTING IN THE BEST OF THE BEST FINANCES US POSITION AS PARTNERS AS POSSIBLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES.

THANK YOU, NANCY. I JUST GOING TO ADD A SUGGESTION THAT WHERE IT SAYS OFFER AND COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION FOR ALL POSITIONS THAT WE ADD SOMETHING IN THERE ABOUT INNOVATIVE COMPENSATION BECAUSE COMPETITIVE COMPENSATION MIGHT JUST MEAN THAT EVERYBODY THINKS THAT IT'S A HIGHER SALARY THAN THE NEXT GUY IN THE DISTRICT.

>> BUT LIKE INGRID MENTIONED ABOUT OTHER TYPES OF COMPENSATION THAT WE CAN BE DOING THAT MAKES US ATTRACTIVE . I THINK THAT WE NEED TO THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX ON THAT. AND WRAP THAT INTO WHAT OUR GOALS ARE FOR WHAT WE OFFER OUR EMPLOYEES. NO FURTHER ACTION ITEM TO GO TO POLICY COMMITTEE DONE THOSE

NASTY. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THE POLICY COMMITTEE REALLY ONLY HANDLED TWO ITEMS AT OUR LAST MEETING. THE FIRST BEING THE DIRECTIVE OF THE BOARD TO LOOK AT THE POLICY REGARDING ELECTRONIC USE OF DEVICES BY BOARD MEMBERS IN MEETINGS AND THERE WAS A SAMPLE DIRECTIVE OR A SAMPLE POLICY THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US AND WE REALLY HAD A ROBUST CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT. A LOT OF THE MEMBERS FELT THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO ENFORCE AND PUT TEETH INTO AND WE ALSO FOUND THAT THERE WAS REALLY ONE SENTENCE THAT STOOD OUT TO US THAT COULD BE USED IN THE HANDBOOK UNDER OUR I BELIEVE IT'S TITLE THE GOVERNANCE COMMITMENT AREA IN OUR HANDBOOK AND ROBIN HAS PULLED UP TO WHERE WE'RE ADDING THAT SENTENCE. BUT THE SENTENCE READS BOARD MEMBERS WILL NOT COMMUNICATE ELECTRONIC DURING MEETINGS WITH MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

OTHER BOARD MEMBERS OR DISTRICT STAFF REGARDING OFFICIAL BOARD BUSINESS AGENDA ITEMS OR OTHER BOARD MATTERS THAT ARE PROPERLY DISCUSSED PUBLICLY DURING BOARD MEETINGS.

AS SUCH, COMMUNICATIONS MAY BE SUBJECT TO PUBLIC DISCLOSURE UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT. SO WE THOUGHT THAT IT MADE MOST SENSE TO HOUSE THAT HERE IN THE

[01:05:04]

ANY OTHER COMMENTS TO ADD, I'D WELCOME THEM AT THIS TIME. >> OR ANY OTHER BOARD MEMBERS IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AS SO THIS IS OUR GOVERNANCE MANUAL.

>> SO DOES THIS NEED BOARD APPROVAL AND. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING AND I BELIEVE THE OTHER I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THEM BUT THE OTHER MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE IS UNDERSTANDING THAT IT DID NOT REQUIRE BOARD ACTION OR READINGS.

>> THE HANDBOOK IS KIND OF A GUIDING POST, IF YOU WILL, OF HOUSING DIFFERENT OTHER TYPES OF EXPLICIT EXPLANATIONS FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE MY

ASSESSMENT AS WELL. >> ALL RIGHT. IT'S DISTRIBUTED FRANK RIBAUT MATERIAL I AGREED WITH THE HANDBOOK DOES NOT GO NEED TO GO THROUGH THE SAME RIGOR THAT POLICIES TO YOU KNOW, READINGS AND APPROVAL BUT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO KNOW THAT THE ENTIRE

BOARD AGREES WITH THIS ADDITION TO THE HANDBOOK. >> SO I WOULD NOT BE OPPOSED AT ALL TO TO THE BOARD EITHER ASKING IF THERE ARE ANY OBJECTIONS TO IT OR ACTUALLY HAVING A VOTE THAT WE APPROVE. PUTTING THIS IN THE HANDBOOK JUST GETS EVERYBODY'S BUY.

I THINK THAT'S A GOOD THING. >> YEAH I CERTAINLY WOULD ASK IF ANYBODY OBJECTED TO THIS BEING INCLUDED IN THE HANDBOOK. PLEASE DO SPEAK UP AND LET US KNOW WHEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT MR.

WILLIAMS. >> MR.. >> I WILL SAY THAT I OBJECT.

BUT ONCE AGAIN I WILL ASK HOW WILL THIS BE POLICED? BECAUSE EVERY IF YOU'RE PUTTING IT THERE YOU'RE PUTTING IT THERE FOR THE REASON OF POLICING.

AND HOW WILL IT BE POLICED? HOW WILL YOU PLEASE PEOPLE'S PERSONAL CELL PHONES AND HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT THAT THEY ARE WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS IS ABOUT THE TOPICAL WAS GOING ON THE BUTTON IN THE BOARD MEETING. SO I MEAN THAT'S THE ME THAT ONCE AGAIN. THAT'S MY THAT'S MY QUESTION. I MEAN I'M JUST GONNA PLAY DEVIL'S ADVOCATE FOR A SECOND. HOW HOW WILL WE HOW WOULD THAT BE DONE?

>> THANK YOU, MR. SMITH, FOR THAT QUESTION. AND THAT WAS PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD IN THE POLICY COMMITTEE AND WHY WE DECIDED THAT THE HANDBOOK WAS MOST APPROPRIATE BECAUSE I THINK IT WAS CONSENSUS IN THE COMMITTEE THAT POLICING IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND CUMBERSOME IF WE EVEN TRIED TO ATTEMPT THAT.

SO PUTTING IT IN THE HANDBOOK REALLY SAYS THAT THIS IS DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE EFFECT A POLICY PER SAY BUT MORE SO THIS IS APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR THAT WE FEEL BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD CONDUCT THEMSELVES UNDER BECAUSE WE W WE WANT INDIVIDUAL INFRINGED INFRINGES ON PEOPLE'S

RIGHTS AS WELL. >> AGREED. AND THAT IS SOMETHING TOO THAT WAS MENTIONED AND THAT IS COVERED IN OUR POLICY MANUAL THAT NOTHING IN THE POLICY MANUAL IS MEANT TO INFRINGE ON ANYBODY'S RIGHTS. SO I JUST WE TALKED A LITTLE

BIT ABOUT THIS. >> HOW ARE WE GOING TO ENFORCE THIS POLICY? I DON'T WANT TO ENFORCE POLICY. I AND I SAID THIS IN THE MEETING.

WE ARE 11 EDUCATED ADULT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SELECTED BY OUR COMMUNITIES TO REPRESENT.

I EXPECT EVERYONE WILL ADHERE TO THE POLICY. SO I'M NOT PARTICULARLY INTERESTED. IT'S AN ODD TEST TO ME TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN ENFORCE IT OR POLICE BUT I STILL THINK IT'S VALUABLE TO BOTH THE PUBLIC AND TO OURSELVES TO SAY THIS IS WHAT WE READ TO. THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO CONDUCT OURSELVES AND THERE'S NOT SOMEONE TRYING TO. THIS ACTUALLY STOPS PEOPLE FROM POLICING THEMSELVES BECAUSE I DID I HAD TO TEXT EARLIER AS MY SON WAS LANDING AT THE AIRPORT. HE COULDN'T YOU KNOW, THERE WAS SOME STUFF GOING ON. I DON'T NECESSARILY WANT PEOPLE ASKING ME WHY I'M ON MY PHONE BUT I'M COMMITTED TO THE FACT THAT I WILL NOT DISCUSS MORE BUSINESS OR THINGS THAT SHOULD NOT UNHEARD OF IN PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OR THINGS THAT ARE ACTIONABLE UNDER FIRE ON MY PHONE. THAT'S MY COMMITMENT AS A FULLY FUNCTIONING ADULT.

[01:10:03]

ENFORCE. >> MR. OCAMPO, I DON'T THINK WE DID AT ALL.

>> SOMETHING YOU CAN ENFORCE LIKE WORKING IF YOU'RE A BOARD MEMBER, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DO. AND YOU KNOW IT'S NOT GOOD FOR A GOOD SHIP TO DO THOSE THEN THAT SHOULD NOT DO. YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE A POLICY OF SENDING MINORS BECAUSE AGAIN A FALSE NUMBER. SO THE WASTE OF TIME. IT'S LIKE SEX MIGHT BE LOOKING IN THE POLICY MANUAL PUT IT IN THE HANDBOOK BECAUSE ALTHOUGH WE CAN ENFORCE IT, I THINK WE ALL AGREE THAT THERE ARE STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR THAT AS BOARD MEMBERS WE AGREED TO

ABIDE BY. >> AND BY PUTTING MAYBE IN THE HANDBOOK WE'RE NOT SAYING WE'RE GOING TO ENFORCE IT BUT WE'RE SAYING THIS IS A STANDARD OF BEHAVIOR, SOMETHING THAT WE AS ADULTS BULLY THEM AND WE'RE YOU KNOW, IT'S A PUBLIC STATEMENT.

IT'S A STATEMENT TO THOSE OF US THAT ARE ON THE BOARD. THESE ARE OUR POLICE.

WE'RE NOT REPLACE EACH OTHER BUT THIS IS A STANDARD THAT WE'VE SET FOR US JUST LIKE STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR ARE SET IN EVERY WORKPLACE AND EVERY YEAR.

THAT'S WHY WORKPLACES HAVE EMPLOYEE HANDBOOKS BECAUSE THEY OUTLINED STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR AT WORK EXPECTATION AND THAT TYPE OF THING. SO THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED TO PUT THIS IN THE HANDBOOK. IT'S IMPORTANT. IT'S A STANDARD THAT WE FEEL IS

A STANDARD OF BEHAVIOR. >> I WOULD I WAS THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY BROUGHT THIS FORWARD TO HAD TO GO TO THE POLICY COMMITTEE AND THAT GETS PLACE VERY APPROPRIATELY IN THE IN

THE HANDBOOK. >> YOU KNOW, I'M I'M ALSO NOT OF THE MINDSET.

HOW DO WE POLICE AS PROFESSIONALS WE NEED A CERTAIN LEVEL.

SO PROFESSIONALS AND CERTAIN STANDARDS OF BEHAVIORS CAMP IS JUST POINTING OUT EXPECTATIONS . AND THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THEM BECAUSE IF FOR EXAMPLE, A BOARD MEMBER IS COMMUNICATING WITH A MEMBER OR TWO OF THE PUBLIC THROUGHOUT THE MEETING ON THEIR PHONE, THAT'S NOT BEING IMPARTIAL. THAT'S NOT A THAT'S ADHERING TO ARE THE THE THE WAY PEOPLE ARE ARE TO INTERACT WITH OUR WITH OUR BOARD DURING MEETINGS, PUBLIC COMMENTS. SO THAT'S YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST IT'S IT'S A LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALS, A LEVEL OF STANDARD BEHAVIOR. EXACTLY.

I MEAN BUSINESSES ALL HAVE AN EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK HAVE THESE THINGS I MEAN FOR EXAMPLE, WE DON'T HAVE A HAVE A POLICY ON HOW WE SHOULD DRESS BUT NOBODY COMES IN HERE WITH THEIR PAJAMAS, A BEDROOM SLIPPERS. I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S A GIVEN AND WE HAVE A LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM. AND SO WE DON'T NEED EVERYTHING AND POLICY AND I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PLACE TO PUT IT. SO I APPRECIATE IT AND I THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, SIR. AND THAT MADE THE GROWTH AND THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

IF IF THERE IS NO FURTHER CONVERSATION AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REPORT.

SO MR. YOUR HAND IS OFF. YES. I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY.

THOSE IN THE POSITIVE IN THE PREVIOUS PREVIOUS WE WE WERE STUFF THAT WAS DUPLICATED IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE HANDBOOKS IN THEM INTO POLICIES. I BELIEVE THAT THAT WE GOT RID OF IT BECAUSE IT WAS BEING DUPLICATED. SO THAT'S JUST WHY ONE OF MY CONCERNS OUR CONCERNS AS WELL. AND THEN THE SECOND THING IS THIS.

SO WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU A BOARD MEMBER LOOKING AT THE EYE TO EYE THE THE HEAVY BOARD AGENDA AND ARE CALLING THE SUPERINTENDENT'S STAFF MEMBER OR SOMETHING AND DISCUSSING DISCUSSING IT PRIOR TO THE MEETING AND ASKING AND GIVING MORE CLEAR CLEARLY OR OR BRINGING UP SOMETHING THAT THAT THEY READ AND OR VERSUS TALKING TO SOMEONE TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT

IT. >> WHY ME? OH OH.

I MEAN I'M SORRY I FORGOT WHAT THE DEAL WHAT'S WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? THE AND I'M DOING THEM VERSUS NOW VERSUS LATER ROE VERSUS AT THAT TIME.

I MEAN IT WAS STILL WAS STILL DONE. SO I MEAN SOME OF THE STUFF I MEAN ONCE AGAIN I THINK THAT ONE BE CAREFUL YOU KNOW HOW WE INFRINGED ON PEOPLE'S RIGHTS AS WELL AS WE ARE ALL ELECTED BY THE PUBLIC NOT BY EACH OTHER. SO I MEAN THAT'S JUST YOU KNOW I MEAN I'M. THOSE ARE THOSE JUST LIKE A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I MEAN KNOW I MEAN I GUESS I WAS WOULDN'T ASK YOU EVER RIHANNA THEY WERE SAYING GIVE ME

[01:15:01]

THAT'S NOT PART OF THE THE BUSINESS MEETING. THAT'S THAT'S TOTALLY OUTSIDE.

AND THAT'S VERY APPROPRIATE. IF THEY DO NEED AN EXPLANATION OR UNDERSTANDING, YOU JUST HAVE TO YOU KNOW, THE PUBLIC HAS TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE CONDUCTING BUSINESS WITH THEM BETWEEN OPENING GAVEL AND THE FINISHING GAVEL. THAT'S THE ONLY TIME THE BOARD HAS POWER AND AUTHORITY. MISS, GO RIGHT AHEAD. THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY.

THIS POLICY SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSES DURING THE MEETING WITH.

>> ALL RIGHT. IF YOU PLEASE LOWER YOUR HAND, MR. SMITH, THANK YOU.

[Superintendent's Report]

>> THANK YOU. AND FIRST TIME FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT IS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY. WE HAVE THREE ITEMS THERE ITS MONTHLY TRANSPARENCY REPORT THAN THE MONTHLY 100 PAGE REPORT. AND THE BOARD'S MONTHLY BUDGET.

AND SO ON. THIS PROBABLY WILL WALK US THROUGH THESE SOME RIGHT NOW

WORKING AT RIGHT. >> RIGHT NOW IT'S VERY CLOSE TO MY BROTHER.

THE MEDIAN AGE IS. SO THERE ARE THREE REPORTS IN OUR ANNUAL OUR MONTHLY BOARD BUSINESS OR SIX SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT UNDER FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR REPORT ON LEAVE OR BUDGET REPORT. AND THE TRAINS MONTHLY TRANSPARENCY REPORT. ACTUALLY WE HAVE TWO VERSIONS CONTINUE NEW VERSIONS OF THE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR REPORT WITH THE DETAIL CONSOLIDATED AND THE NEW DETAILS THERE FOR YOU. I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS, ANY PARTICULAR AREAS. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT WE DID MAKE ONE CHANGE ON THE BOARD MONTHLY BUDGET REPORT TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL COLUMN ON A PERCENTAGE USE.

SO WE HAVE A PERCENTAGE OF ORIGINAL BUDGET USE AND A PERCENTAGE REVISED BUDGET USED AS WELL. HER BOARD REQUEST AND WE'D BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY COMMENTS QUESTIONS IN ANY OF THESE AREAS. THE SEEMING I'LL JUST SAY I

THINK IT'S REALLY HELPFUL. >> ON THE ON THE BOARD BUDGET REPORT THAT YOU'VE GOT THOSE TWO COLUMNS NOW. WHAT WAS THE PERCENTAGE OF THE ORIGINAL BUDGET AND THEN THE PERCENT OF THE REVISED BUDGET THAT WILL ALSO HELP IN MAKING ENOUGH THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR TO WHICH I KNOW YOU HAD YOUR ENEMY AS DEEP AS ROBIN BRAXTON. NOT EVERYBODY DOES SPIN.

>> THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. I GUESS I WAS I THOUGHT I COULD GET MY. I DID HAVE A QUESTION. GO AHEAD, MR. SMITH.

I'M UNDER THE UNDER THE BOARD BUDGET REPORT. I SEE TECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE THERE . THERE WAS MONEY SPENT ON TECHNOLOGY AND TO ME THAT'S THE NINE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS YOU REFERRING TO I BELIEVE THAT IS MORE DANCE BACK THAT'S THIS 14 YEAR BEFORE DANCE IS MORE THAN DAVE AND I SHOULD WORK WHERE MY MICROPHONE

GONE OUT. >> ROBIN IF YOU TOLD ME WHY WERE REFERRING TO IT'S 5 3 4 5 0 0 IS TALKING YAHOO RIGHT BELOW RIGHT WOULD BE A COULD YOU I APOLOGIZE THAT MY DAD AND

[01:20:07]

JUST A MOMENT. >> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THE DETAILS OF THAT ARE.

CHEER UP HERE IN DADDY'S BOARD DOCS THERE IS A MONTHLY FEE THE BOARD DOCS THAT IS A FEE.

IT IS A PURCHASE AS A TWENTY SIX POINT TWENTY ONE I SEE ONE TRANSACTION SO FAR THIS YEAR AND THAT AMOUNT IS TWELVE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY DOLLARS.

>> I THINK WE ALSO PAY YOU I WANT TO SAY IN SEPTEMBER THAT RIGHT NOW WE I MEAN ROBERT DON'T WE PAY FOR DOCS ALSO IN SEPTEMBER PER SE? I HAVE NO IDEA.

IT'S ABOUT TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND IS BECAUSE I THINK YOU MAY BE SPLIT INTO TWO WE HAVE AN ANNUAL FEE SO IT IS SPLIT TWICE DO YOU REMEMBER OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD IF I HAD AN ACCIDENT LOOK AT THE DOLLAR THAT MIGHT BE HALF THE PAYMENT .

>> I ONLY SEE ONE PAYMENT IN THE PRIOR YEAR OF TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

THE OTHER PART OF THE BUDGET IS FOR PRODUCTION SERVICE FOR BAKER COUNTIES THE BAKER COUNTY CHANNEL SO SEE A HISTORY OF MORE ONE UNIT IN THAT CATEGORY BUT I COULD DO SOME FURTHER RESEARCH IN AND BRING BACK INFORMATION NEXT TIME SO THAT'S ONLY TRANSACTION I SEE

FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS MAC SOFTWARE CATEGORY. >> THANK YOU DOCTOR REPRESENTATIVE. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. I KNOW ON THE BOARD MONTHLY BUDGET THAT WE SKIP OVER THAT TRANSPARENCY REPORT IT CAN I SPEAK ONE CURE FROM ANY ANY

OF THEM ARE AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT. >> PERFECT.

>> YEAH I JUST HAD A QUESTION ON THE LAST PAGE THERE WAS TWO FRAUDULENT DISPUTED CHARGES AND I JUST WANTED TO ASK ABOUT THAT. LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THEM WAS AN UNAUTHORIZED FROM A VENDOR AND I SEE THAT'S GOT AN ADJUSTMENT PENDING AND THEN THE OTHER ONE WAS IT LOOKS LIKE IT CAME FROM. MAYBE THAT MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT AND I JUST WANTED TO SPEAK TO THAT AND ALSO ABOUT PERHAPS HOW WE CATCH THOSE AND PREVENT THEM IN THE FUTURE.

>> THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS IN WHICH WE CATCH THEM. >> OFTENTIMES BANK OF AMERICA, THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY WILL CATCH THEM ON OUR BEHALF AND WILL NOTIFY US AND DISPUTE THE

TRANSACTION ON THEMSELF THEMSELVES. >> THE OTHER WAYS WE REQUIRE OUR BOOKKEEPERS TO ON A DAILY BASIS MONITOR THE SPENDING ON OUR CARDS ACTIVITY ON THE BANK OF AMERICA WORTH'S WEBSITE AND THAT THEY HAVE A TRANSACTION THAT THEY HAVE NOT CANNOT MATCH WITH THEIR TRANSACTION LAWS. THEN THEY SHOULD DISPUTE THE ITEM AND NOTIFY DIRECTLY TO THE WORKS PROGRAM THROUGH THE SOFTWARE SYSTEM THAT THEY ARE DISPUTING THAT AND IT PUTS A HOLD ON THAT TRANSACTION UNTIL IT CAN BE INVESTIGATED TO THE BANK OF AMERICA BROAD

DEPARTMENT. >> SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THAT.

>> WE ALSO DO A MONTHLY AUDIT. SOME OF THE DISTRICT OFFICE OR PURCHASING CARD ADMINISTRATOR DOES A MONTHLY AUDIT AS WELL AND MONITORS TRANSACTIONS TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY ABNORMAL

ACTIVITY. SO IT'S A MULTITUDE OF WAYS. >> I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT DETAILS OF THE MAINTENANCE ADJUSTMENT HERE BUT I CAN CERTAINLY GET AN UPDATE FROM THE PURCHASING OFFICE AND WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION OUT TO THE FULL 48.

I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT, MR. SMITH. I WAS LOOKING ON THE REPORT.

THOSE IN THE HOUSE. I SEE THERE'S A TECH PURCHASE SERVICES AND LICENSE BOARD DOCS

WOULDN'T GO INTO THAT. >> YES. FOR DOCS IS UNDER THE OTHER PAGE TO CHECK FOR KEY SERVICES AND LICENSES THE EXPENDITURE AMOUNT THERE IS TWELVE THOUSAND

EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY DOLLARS THAT IS FOR DOCS. >> OK.

SO MY QUESTION IS ARE TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE SUPPLIES?

WELL WHAT WHAT IS THAT? >> OK, SO THAT IS DOWN IN THE 4 4 5 0 0 CATEGORY THERE SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY DOLLARS WHEN I'M SPENDING AND THE MOMENT YOU LOOK AT THAT

[01:25:13]

BOARD MEMBERS. >> YES, FOR SURE I. >> COULD YOU REPEAT THAT? I APOLOGIZE. THAT IS OUR TECHNOLOGY DEVICES FOR BOARD MEMBERS.

AND OR STAFF MEMBERS. I BELIEVE THERE WERE TWO. THERE ARE TWO NEW BOARD MEMBERS THIS YEAR SAID THEY WERE LIKELY TO BE TWO PURCHASES FOR EITHER I HAVE A LAPTOP DO NOT APPEAR

TO BE ANY OTHER BANDS. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MISS CROSBY.

THANK YOU. IN THE LAST PORTION OF THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT OF THE COTA 19 UPDATE THIS EVENING BEFORE I SHARE WITH YOU OUR CURRENT NUMBERS OF POSITIVE CASES IN 14. I'D LIKE TO DISCUSS THE EVENTS OF LAST WEEK REGARDING MASS REQUIREMENTS IN SCHOOLS GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER TWENTY TWENTY ONE TWENTY THREE PREEMPTION SUPERSEDES ANY LOCAL ORDINANCE RULE REGULATION OR OTHER RESTRICTION.

THE GOVERNOR HAS DETERMINED THAT ANY REMAINING MANDATES ISSUED BY COUNTIES IN THE SPAN OF THESE OR OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE RELATED TO FACE COVERINGS ARE NO LONGER NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO ADDRESS AND MITIGATE THE EXISTING PUBLIC HEALTH THREATS AND THAT CIRCUMSTANCES SUCH AS SOUTH CAROLINIANS CAN MAKE RESPONSIBLE CHOICES TO TAKE APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THEIR COMMUNITIES. THE ORDER GOES ON TO SAY THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS DETERMINED AND DECLARES THAT ANY SUCH ORDINANCE ORDER OR OTHER MEASURE IS INVALID AND PREEMPTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ORDER. FURTHERMORE, THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION POLICY THAT WAS IN PLACE REQUIRING MASKS IN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES WAS LIFTED THE DAY AFTER THE GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDERS. HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER ALLOWS PARENTS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEIR CHILDREN SHOULD WEAR A MASK WHILE THEY ARE IN PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITIES. THE GOVERNOR WENT ON TO DIRECTLY HEAD AND SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO FACILITATE HIS EXECUTIVE ORDER BY DEVELOPING A CONSENT FORM FOR PARENTS, GUARDIANS, LEGAL CUSTODIANS, FOSTER CARE PROVIDERS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE AUTHORIZED TO PROVIDE CONSENT FOR OR ON BEHALF OF A STUDENT IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO USE REGARDING THEIR DECISION OF WHETHER OR NOT THEIR CHILD SHOULD WEAR A MASK. WE RECEIVED THAT FORM THE FOLLOWING DAY FROM FROM AND OUR SCHOOLS PROVIDED TO PARENTS. THE FOLLOWING DAY THAT IS A FORUM THAT IS NOT A SCHOOL DANCE BUT THAT IS WHAT WAS SENT TO US AS A RESULT OF THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER.

WE CONTINUE TO REQUIRE MASKS ON SCHOOL BUSES BECAUSE THAT IS A PART OF AN ACTUAL ORDER FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IT REMAINS IN EFFECT IN ACCORDANCE .

I SENT OUT A ROBO CALL TO PARENTS AND EMPLOYEES INFORMING OF THE GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE ORDER IN THE CURRENT TWO WEEK EXIT WINDOW WITH POSITIVE CASES.

WE HAVE 21 STUDENTS SIX PACK POINTING NUMBERS ONE HUNDRED NINETY THREE STUDENTS AND

TWELVE STAFF. THAT CONCLUDES THE REPORT. >> THANK YOU, INGRID BECAUSE I FAMILY SOME PARENTS AND WHEN THAT CAME OUT EVERYONE SAID OH WHAT'S THAT GOT TO BE THIS GUY? HERE'S ORDER. AND THEY SAID THAT YOU MEAN THEY GOT A ROBO CALL CLARIFYING IT AND THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT. THEY WERE REALLY IMPRESSED THAT WE GOT RIGHT ON THAT. AND I JUST WANTED TO SEND THAT COMPLIMENT ON TO DISTRICT STAFF BECAUSE THE PARENTS WERE ALL THE PARENTS BUT A LOT OF THE BULK THE PARENTS I THINK WE'RE REALLY HAPPY WITH HOW FAST WE RESPONDED TO GAVE THEM AN OPTION.

[Board Business Action]

CROSBY RACHEL SANSA CHECHESSEE. IF YOU HAVE A HANDLE ON SORRY I HAD PUT MY HAND UP.

I TOOK IT DOWN. I WAS JUST GOING TO ECHO WHAT INGRID SAID.

A LOT OF PARENTS ARE JUST VERY HAPPY THAT THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO OPT OUT AND THAT WE RESPONDED AS QUICKLY AS WE DID . I DID HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT.

AND I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR TEACHERS WHO WERE DILIGENT IN DEALING WITH THE MASK ISSUE WHEN IT CAME DOWN. I KNOW THAT WAS A SHOCK TO EVERYBODY BUT THE DISTRICT RESPONDED QUICKLY AND RESPONSIBLY I THINK AND MAKING SURE THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THAT.

[01:30:04]

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU. >> JUST SHOW THAT EVENING THE MEETING WITH SENIOR STAFF AND THEN I'M MEETING WITH WITH OUR PRINCIPAL IN ORDER TO COMMUNICATE AND ENGAGE WITH THEM TO LET THEM KNOW I WOULD BE PROVIDING ALL EMPLOYEES AND TO ENSURE PARENTS. AND SO I CONCUR WITH WHAT YOU SAID THAT WE DO WANT TO MAKE SURE OUR TEACHERS AND OUR ADMINISTRATORS AND OUR SCHOOLS FOR THE MANNER IN WHICH THEY RESPONDED REALLY KIND OF TRY AND KEEP A MOMENT RIGHT IMMEDIATELY.

SO THANK YOU. THEN I CONCUR WITH MR. WILLIAMS SPENT WAS GOOD TO US.

>> I WOULD SAY EXACTLY WHAT I WOULDN'T ASK YOU SAY TO THAT I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOUR WHOLE ALL DISTRICT STAFFS FOR FOUR REALLY FOR TO STILL COME WORK AND SACRIFICE AND AFTER MAKING A SACRIFICE SELF-SACRIFICE THAT THAT ANNOUNCEMENT WAS MADE DEFINITELY TO TELL THAT TELL STAFF STAFF STAY ENCOURAGING THAT. THANKS FOR THANKS FOR THIS.

THANKS FOR THEIR CONTINUED SUPPORT TO OUR COMMUNITY. THANK YOU SCOTT, IT'S GREAT TO

SEE YOU. >> GOOD EVENING. THIS EVENING'S DISCUSSION IS THE FISCAL YEAR 20 ONE POINT TWO PROPOSED GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND PROPOSED DEBT SERVICE BUDGET FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. THIS EVENING IT'S A

CONTINUATION OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE'VE BEEN HAVING. >> WE HAVE HAD A SERIES OF THREE OTHER DISCUSSIONS PLUS THE JOINT COMMITTEE WITH A COUNTY COUNCIL TO GIVE THE FIRST GLANCE AT OUR BUDGET. WE ARE AT AN IMPORTANT POINT THIS EVENING IN THE DISCUSSION AND THAT IS THE CERTIFICATION AND APPROVAL OF THE BUDGETS. I WILL NOT BE GOING THROUGH EVERY DETAIL OF THIS PRESENTATION THIS EVENING. YOU SEE GOP SLIDES IN THE PAST BUT I WILL TOUCH ON SOME HIGHLIGHTS, SOME VERY IMPORTANT POINTS AND THERE ARE A FEW NEW ITEMS THAT I BROUGHT OVER THIS MORNING INCLUDING THE COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET WHICH IS ALL FUNDS AND SOME OF THE CARES ESSER AKA FUNDS SPENDING AND BUDGETING THAT WE HAVE PLANNED SO FAR. SO ONE DIFFERENCE THIS YEAR IS OUR VIRTUAL PUBLIC BUDGET FORUM AND I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. THIS YEAR WE ACTUALLY TOOK THE LEAD FOLLOW THE LEAD SCUSE ME OF ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT IN A STATE IN THE NATION ACTUALLY I SEARCHED AROUND TO SEE WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING THROUGHOUT THE STATE IN TERMS IN LIEU OF THE PANDEMIC AND HOW THEY WERE COMMUNICATING AND BUDGETS TO THE PUBLIC AND FOUND A AMAZING EXAMPLE IN DES MOINES, IOWA OUT OF VIRTUAL PUBLIC FORUM AND THEY HAD DONE THERE'S MANY MONTHS TO GO.

SO I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY INTERESTING. I BROUGHT IT FORWARD FOR THE COMMUNICATIONS GROUP AGREES. AND YOU THOUGHT I COULD USE THIS IN LIGHT OF THE CURRENT CONDITIONS WERE STILL EMERGING FROM PANDEMIC. IT FELT LIKE IT WAS THE BEST AVENUE TO CONVEY THIS BUDGET TO THE COMMUNITY AND ACTUALLY ALTHOUGH WE WERE ABLE TO RECORD IT LAST WEEK AND PLACE IT ON YOUTUBE ON FRIDAY AND THEN WE HAVE POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER AND DISTRICT WIDESPREAD EMAILS SINCE THEN AND WE HAVE HAD SO FAR A 90 USE THAT FAR SURPASSES MOST OF OUR BUDGET TOWNHALL MEETINGS THAT ARE IN-PERSON SO IT IS ABLE TO REACH MORE PEOPLE AND WE'VE ALREADY GOTTEN QUESTIONS FROM THAT AND PROVIDED RESPONSES BACK TO MANY OF OUR TEACHERS OR INVOLVED. AND SO IT GIVES THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO THE FORUMS THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY BE CLOSE BY TO THEIR HOMES OR THEIR SCHOOLS AND THAT GIVES THEM A CHANCE TO WATCH IT AT ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT THAT

THEY MAY WANT. >> SO I'M I'M VERY AS EXCITED ABOUT THAT AND ALL THROUGHOUT THIS PRESENTATION WILL BE I'LL BE UPDATING YOU ON A FEW OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM SOME OF THOSE VIEWERS. SO I WANT TO START THE PRESENTATION THIS EVENING WITH OUR TO JUST THE BASIC THAT NOTION THAT WE HAVE PLANNED THIS BUDGET WITH THE BOARD'S EXPECTATIONS, THE POLICIES AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE RULES IN MIND.

>> WE'RE MAINTAINING A FINE BALANCE WITHIN 15 TO 17 PERCENT.

>> WE'RE PREPARING A BALANCED BUDGET WHERE PROVIDING A MULTI-YEAR PERSPECTIVE, WHERE WE'RE PROVIDING IT REFLECTS MULTI-YEAR SKEWS. WE ANTICIPATED EMPLOYED STATION INFORMS YOUR BUDGET ASSUMPTION AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND IT SHOWS AMOUNT SPENT BY CATEGORY 4.

[01:35:05]

ITEMS AND SUPPORT TO BE LINKED WITH OUR STRATEGIC GOALS. >> THEY ALLOWED US TO FOCUS ON OUR STRATEGIES AND ALIGN THEM SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO CONVEY THEM TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE BOARD AND TO BE ABLE TO JUSTIFY THE INCREASES POTENTIAL INCREASES IN THIS BUDGET.

ON SLIDE 7 WE'RE SHOWING A PROPOSED BUDGET OF TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR FOUR POINT THREE MILLION DOLLARS. THIS IS A TOTAL INCREASE THIS YEAR 20 MILLION IT'S ABOUT 8 PERCENT INCREASES AND WE'RE SHOWING INCREASES IN MAJOR CATEGORIES.

IF WE COULD GO TO SUPPLY 7 IF YOU AND SO OUR MAJOR INCREASES INCLUDING STATE AND FEDERAL MANDATES WHICH ARE ABOUT THIRTY NINE PERCENT OF THIS BUDGET EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS THAT ARE OUTSIDE OF THE STATE MANDATES ARE FOUR POINT TWO MILLION OPERATIONAL INCREASES OF THREE POINT FOUR MILLION STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT THERE ARE ITEMS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED ONE POINT FOUR MILLION DISTRICTS SUPPORT AT ONE POINT TO SAFETY SECURITY OF A MILLION ITEMS POSITIONS TO ADDRESS THAT ARE ADDRESSED IN THE EFFICIENCY STUDY OF EIGHT HUNDRED FORTY THREE THOUSAND FOUR PROPOSED BUDGET. AGAIN TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR KNOWING DOLLARS SO ON THE NEXT SLIDE IS A SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION INCREASES.

>> THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CATEGORY THAT WAS REQUESTED OR QUESTIONS WERE POSED UPON IN OUR BUDGET FORUM RESPONSES AND WE DID ADDRESS THOSE. ONE OF THE MAIN QUESTIONS WAS IS A LOCALITY SUPPLEMENT IN THIS BUDGET. AND SO THE ANSWER IS YES AND IT IS NOT ON THE SLIDE CURRENTLY BUT WE HAVE CONTINUED THE PRACTICE OF PROVIDING THE FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR TEACHER SALARY SUPPLEMENT THE LOCALITY SUPPLEMENT FOR TEACHERS FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THEN FOR CLASS OF MY ADMINISTRATORS IT IS FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS.

>> THERE WAS ALSO IN THE REQUEST A RESPONSE TO CONSIDER IN FUTURE YEARS AN INCREASE IN THAT SUPPLEMENT. SO THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS I WANTED TO CONVEY TO YOU AND WE WILL CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WE WILL PUT ON PRIORITY LISTS FOR ANY CONSIDERABLE

FUTURE CONSIDERATION. >> SO IN THIS BUDGET FOR TEACHERS IS A STATE MANDATED DATA TEACHER STEP INCREASE A STATE MANDATED THOUSAND DOLLAR INCREASE TO THE BASE TEACHER

SALARY. >> SO EVERY STEP WILL HAVE A ADDITIONAL THOUSAND DOLLARS AND WE WILL RESTORE A STEP INCREASE THAT WAS WAIVED IN 2012. SO THEY ARE ACTUALLY TWO STEP INCREASES AND A THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR TEACHERS. IT IS A OF AN APPROXIMATE 6 PERCENT INCREASE FOR THOSE THREE AREAS AND WE'RE ALSO RECOMMENDING TO RAISE THE MAX TEACHER STEP FROM TWENTY FOUR TO TWENTY FIVE YEARS. SO THIS ALONG WITH A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND THAT MAX SAID THOSE TEACHERS THAT ARE TWENTY FOUR PLUS YEARS WOULD ALSO RECEIVE A PAY INCREASE THIS YEAR. SO THAT IS VERY FAVORABLE FOR US UPPER CLASS WHITE ADMINISTRATORS. IT WOULD BE A STEP INCREASE ANY TWO PERCENT COST OF LIVING APPROXIMATELY 4 PERCENT INCREASE IN TOTAL FOR THE BACKER OF EMPLOYEES AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE IS DISCUSSING A MANDATED 5 PERCENT INCREASE FOR BUS DRIVERS.

SO THAT WOULD BE AND CONTINUE IN DELIBERATIONS WITH THE STATE AND POSSIBLE APPROVAL IN THE JUNE. SO SLIDE 9 IS A SUMMARY OF THE REVENUES IN THE DISTRICT.

>> OVERALL STATE REVENUE INCREASES ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT SEVEN POINT FIVE MILLION

[01:40:01]

ACTUALLY AND TO DEMONSTRATE WHAT WE OFTEN HAD AS A CHALLENGE IS THAT THE MANDATORY RETROACTIVE STEP INCREASES OCCURRING THIS YEAR COST THE DISTRICT ABOUT ONE POINT NINE

MILLION DOLLARS. >> WE FUNDED IT IN THIS BUDGET THAT'S BASED ON AN ESTIMATED MILLION DOLLARS. WE HAVE NO INFORMATION AT THE TIME OF WHAT THAT REVENUE THOSE REVENUES WOULD BE. ON MAY 14TH WHICH WAS ON FRIDAY, WE RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF WHAT THAT WOULD BE. AND WE ARE BEING FUNDED AT ONE MILLION ONE HUNDRED SIXTEEN THOUSAND SEVEN THIRTY. SO IT'S ABOUT FIFTY NINE PERCENT OF THE ESTIMATED COST OF THAT RETROACTIVE INCREASE. SO OUR ESTIMATES WERE SLIGHTLY UNDER THAT.

SO THAT'S VERY GOOD. BUT THAT'S WHY I'M ALWAYS BEING CONSERVATIVE ON OUR STATE AND OUR REVENUE ESTIMATES BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO COME IN AND BE SHORT ON THAT.

ONE OF THE REASONS AND REASONS FOR THAT ESTIMATE IS ALSO THAT THE STATE HAS A MAX TEACHER STEP INCREASE OF TWENTY THREE YEARS. SO THEY ONLY FUND UP TO 20 30 YEARS AND ANY INCREASES PROVIDED BEYOND THAT OR ON THE DISTRICTS ARE MUST BE PROVIDED THROUGH LOCAL TAX TAX REVENUES OR OTHER SOURCES. SO THERE IS NO INDICATION WHETHER THIS FUNDING WILL BE RECURRING FOR THE NEXT YEAR BUDGET.

>> SO I HAVE BUDGET AGAIN VERY CONSERVATIVELY TO TO ESTIMATE THAT THAT WOULD NOT BE RECURRING FUNDING BECAUSE THE STATE INDICATED EARLY ON IN CONVERSATIONS THAT IT WAS A

NON-RECURRING FUNDING SOURCE. >> SO THAT THAT'S A CHALLENGE WE WOULD FIND OFTEN WITH OUR STATE REVENUES AND WE'RE REALLY UNSURE AT THIS POINT EVEN THOUGH THE NEED IS MOVE FORWARD AND BUILD THIS BUDGET AND APPROVAL BEFORE JUNE 30TH AND IMPLEMENTED IS JULY 1, WE REALLY ARE UNSURE OF MULTIPLE SOURCES. SO WE DO OUR BEST TO MAKE THOSE ESTIMATES ON A CONSERVATIVE BASIS. AGAIN, THE PRIMARY STATE FUNDING FORMULA FOR SCHOOLS IS THE EDUCATION FINANCE ACT ALSO KNOWN AS EFA.

YOU'VE RECEIVED THE LOWEST PERCENTAGE OF STATE FUNDING AT TWENTY OF ANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE STATE AT 24 PERCENT OF THE BASE STUDENT COST ALLOCATION FOR EACH DOLLAR ALLOCATED TO THIS THROUGH THIS FORMULA BEFORE IT RECEIVES ABOUT SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS PER STUDENT. THE FORMULA IS DESIGNED TO REQUIRE THE LOCAL TAX BASE TO PROVIDE A GREATER SUPPORT FOR THE VIEW FOR COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AND AS A RESULT WE MUST SEEK ADDITIONAL REVENUES THROUGH LOCAL TAX INCREASES. SO SLIDE 10 ILLUSTRATES THE PROPOSED MILLAGE INCREASE IN THE ANOTHER QUESTION THROUGH OUR FORUM WAS WHAT IS PROPOSED TAX MILLAGE THIS YEAR THAT AMOUNT IS ONE TWENTY ONE ONE HUNDRED TWENTY ONE POINT SIX MILS. THE INCREASE PROPOSED SEVEN POINT SIX MILES.

WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 114. SO OUR 114 MILLS IS VIRTUALLY THE SAME AS THE TWO PRIOR YEARS

AS SEEN ON THE NEXT SLIDE. >> SO WE'VE HELD AT VIRTUALLY THE SAME RATE IS TWENTY EIGHTEEN AND HAD NO TAX INCREASE FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS SO YOU'LL SEE THAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR TO COMPLY AND MAXIMIZE THE MILEAGE CAP THROUGH STATE LAW AND ACTUALLY RADIATE AND IMPLEMENT THE VALUE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN SUPPORT OF THE

NEEDED INCREASES IN THIS BUDGET . >> SO IN THE NEXT SLIDE IS THE IMPACT ON THE TAXPAYER AGAIN TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLAR NON OWNER OCCUPIED HOME ASSESSMENT RATIO OF 6 PERCENT WOULD BE AN ANNUAL COST OF ELEVEN EXCUSE ME FOR ONE

HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN DOLLARS AND OVER TWELVE MONTHS. >> I THINK THAT'S JUST UNDER TEN DOLLARS A MONTH. AND SO IN THE SECOND SCENARIO FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND ARE NOT OWNER OCCUPIED 6 PERCENT RATIO THAT WOULD BE IN EIGHTY TWO DOLLARS AND THAT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY I BELIEVE THAT IS JUST OVER FIFTY DOLLARS A WEEK PER MONTH AND SO ADD ONTO THE

NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. >> THANK YOU. AND THIS IS THE SUMMARY OF THE GENERAL FUND BUDGET. OUR REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES CHANGES FROM THE PRIOR YEAR AND THE FUND BALANCE IS GOING TO HAVE NO CHANGE. IT WILL BE AT SIXTEEN POINT

[01:45:03]

THREE PERCENT. IT WILL. >> THE THERE WILL BE NO ACCESS AND THERE'S A BALANCED BUDGET AND 64 3 PERCENT OF THE NEXT YEAR'S EXPENDITURES FALL RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE 15 TO 17 PERCENT BOARD POLICY AND ALLOWS TO HAVE A STABLE FUND BALANCE AND WHICH WILL BE VERY FAVORABLE TO OUR RATING SEES WHEN IT COMES TIME TO BORROW

BORROW OUR NEXT YEAR BOND ISSUES WILL BE COMING UP. >> IN FACT AS A FOLLOW UP TO THE CAPITAL PROJECTS CONVERSATION HOW ARE WE COMING ON THE BOARD ON JUNE FIRST? WITH AN 8 PERCENT FUND BOND RESOLUTION AND ABOUT 4 DOLLARS AND THIS RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE CONVERSATION I WOULD WANT A GREAT BOND RATING WHEN IT COMES TO OUR BORROWINGS AND A FUND BALANCE IS ONE OF THE STRONGEST COMPONENTS MAKING SURE THAT THAT CREDIT RATING IS IN GOOD STATUS AND REMAINS AT A DOUBLE A WIN RATE. SO AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE IS A

SUMMARY OF OUR DEBT SERVICE FUND. >> IN THAT HANDOUT I PROVIDED A NUMBER OF DETAILS REGARDING THE DEBT SERVICE FUND. AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN DOING THE BUDGETS THAT WE HAVE PROVIDED SUCH DETAIL AND THE DEBT SERVICE CATEGORY THAT IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY OUR BOND COUNCIL TO PROVIDE THOSE DETAILS AND HAVE THE BOARD CERTIFIED APPROVE THE DEBT SERVICE BUDGET AT THE MILLAGE THAT WE'RE PROPOSING WHICH IS NO INCREASE AND VILLAGE IS THIRTY SIX POINT THREE MIL VALUE FOR SCHOOL DEBT SERVICE WHICH IS APPLICABLE TO ALL PROPERTIES INCLUDING OWNER OCCUPIED PROPERTIES OUR PRIMARY

RESIDENCE. >> AND THERE IS AS YOU SEE IN THE BUDGET HERE IS IN OUR HANDOUTS OUTS AND THERE IS NO THERE IS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN FUND BALANCE BUT THE REVENUES ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THIS BUDGET INCLUDES THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO SUPPORT THE THIRTY SIX POINT THREE MILES OF DEBT SERVICE ONES AND WE MAINTAIN A

FUND BALANCE AT JUNE 30TH OF ABOUT 21 PERCENT. >> WE DO FOLLOW PAYMENTS IN INTEREST PAYMENTS THAT BRING OUR DEBT SERVICE CASH BALANCE DOWN TO THE LOW POINT DECEMBER 30 FIRST AND THAT IS IT BRINGS IT DOWN TO A POINT OF ABOUT NINE MILLION DOLLARS.

SO THAT IS NOT THAT SOMETHING SOMEWHERE WE WOULD NOT WANT TO GO ANY LOWER THAN THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL COVER OUR 5 MILLION DOLLARS OF INTEREST PAYMENTS. IT'S ABOUT A 12 PERCENT FUND BALANCE IN THE DEBT SERVICE FUND AT THAT IN DECEMBER 31. SO IT'S CERTAINLY CONSERVATIVE.

NO, WE DON'T WANT TO KEEP ALL OF THE EXCESS IN THESE FUNDS BUT WE ALSO DON'T WANT TO FALL SHORT IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY AND WE NEED TO BORROW ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR JUST THAT FOR THESE FUNDS AS WE DID THIS PAST YEAR WITH THE 80 MILLION DOLLAR CAMP.

SO CERTAINLY THESE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS AND IT WAS CERTAINLY A LEARNING PROCESS THIS YEAR AS WE DEVELOPED THIS. THESE CASH FLOWS AND AND SET ENSURING THAT THEY SUPPORTED THE MILLAGE AND THE BUDGETARY INFORMATION MATCHES THE INFORMATION GIVING THIS TO THE COUNTY. JUST WANT KNOW THAT THIS DEBT CASH FLOW IS AN ESTIMATE AT THIS POINT. IT DOES ESTIMATE THE FUND BALANCE AT THE END THIS FISCAL YEAR. SO THESE NUMBERS COULD CHANGE AS THE ESTIMATE AS THE ACTUAL TAX REVENUES COME IN THEY COULD BE MODIFIED AND UPDATED TO REFLECT THOSE ACTUAL NUMBERS.

>> AND SO WE WILL BE PROVIDING THESE AFTER THE 8 PERCENT NEXT 8 PERCENT BOND ISSUE IS COMPLETE. THIS DOCUMENT WILL BE UPDATED AND IT WILL BE SENT TO THE AUDITOR COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICE FOR INCLUSION AND THE REVIEW OF OUR DEBT SERVICE KNOWLEDGE.

>> SO IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS DEBT SERVICE SHOULD BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD BUT NOT BY COUNTY COUNCIL. BUT THE DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE IS INCLUDED IN COUNTY COUNCILS

ORDINANCE. >> AND I WILL BE PROVIDING THESE DETAILS TO THE COUNCIL AS

WELL FOR INFORMATION. >> BUT IT'S MY SAYING AGAIN THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE CRITICAL

OF THESE OF THIS BUDGET. >> SO SO IT WILL BE FOR INFORMATION AND THEN MOVING ON TO THE COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET. SO THIS IS A NEW ITEM AND BRINGING FORWARD THIS EVENING.

[01:50:03]

WE DO HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE THIS YEAR BE COMPREHENSIVE BUDGET IS GOING FROM FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY NINE THOUSAND MILLION TO SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN MILLION I BELIEVE

THAT NUMBER IS STARTING TO SEE THAT FOR SIX MONTHS 619. >> OK.

AND THE REASON FOR THE INCREASE IS WE HAVE THE INCREASE IN THE GENERAL FUND OF 20 MILLION EST PROPOSED. SO SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS INCLUDE ALL OF OUR CARES.

YES SIR. AND YOU COULDN'T CANCEL HALF OF FUNDING THAT WILL BE SPENT THROUGH THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR. FUNDS ARE DOWN A LITTLE AND OUR DEBT SERVICE FUND REFLECTS THE ADDITIONAL INTEREST PAYMENTS DUE TO. THERE'S NOT.

THERE IS NO THERE'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENCE ON THE SERVICE MONTHS BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BUILDING FUND DOES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE BECAUSE OF INCREASED REFERENDUM SPENDING AND 8 PERCENT SPENDING. SO THE FOR THE MOST PART THE

OTHERS ARE RELATIVELY THE SAME. >> SO THOSE DO REFLECT THE CHANGES IN THE VARIOUS FUNDS OF THE DISTRICT. AND AGAIN SEVEN POINT SIX NO INCREASE.

ONLY GENERAL FUND OR OPERATIONS AND NO INCREASE ON DEBT SERVICE SO IT WON'T SEE THE NEXT SLIDE.

>> SO THE NEXT SECTION IS ALSO NEW TO YOU THIS EVENING AND ALTHOUGH WE PROVIDED JUST A LISTING OF THE VARIOUS FUNDS THIS THESE SLIDES WILL PROVIDE ACTUALLY MORE DETAILS.

>> AND IN THE INDIVIDUAL FUND. >> SO COULD YOU GO TO SLIDE 18 ? THIS IS THE CARES ACT FUNDING A THREE POINT SIX MILLION. AND AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS A CHART ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THAT SEEMS TO BE CUT OFF ON THE POWERPOINT HERE.

YOU CAN JUST THERE'S A LITTLE BIT BUT THEY'RE BROKEN DOWN BETWEEN FIVE MAJOR CATEGORIES.

>> THE PRIMARY AREA OF SPENDING THERE ARE TWO MAIN AREAS. AND THE CARES ACT WHICH WE RECEIVED EARLY ON AND WE BEGAN SPENDING IN JULY ON JULY 1. THESE ARE TECHNOLOGY DEVICES FOR OKATIE 2 MILLION DOLLARS. OUR ACADEMIC CAMPS FOR THOSE CAMPS IN THE SUMMER.

AND SO THOSE WERE AT ONE POINT TWO MILLION. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THESE EARLY ON FUNDS HAD A LARGE PORTION OF PPE OR PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND ENHANCED SANITATION. THAT WAS IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE PANDEMIC.

NINE HUNDRED SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND. WE HAD ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR NURSING ADDITIONAL HOURS THAT WERE WORD OF CONTACT TRACING FOR CHILDREN.

EIGHTY THOUSAND AND THEN HOT SPOTS AND ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX THOUSAND THOSE WERE PROVIDED BY THE STATE. BUT WE HAVE RECEIVED OR RECEIVED FUNDING AND IF YOU HAD TO PAY NET PAYMENT TO THE STATE. SO AS AN ON TRANSACTION BUT THOSE DO ARE REFLECTED THAT CARES ACT FUNDING ON THE NEXT SLIDE IS AS ONE AND FOUR POINT NINE MILLION YOU CAN SEE AGAIN TECHNOLOGY DEVICES. THE BUDGET WAS 2 MILLION DOLLARS ACADEMIC RECOVERY CAMP SO AS ADDITIONAL FUNDING THEIR FORCE WORK IN OUR CAMPS EXTENDED SCHOOL YEAR AND COMPENSATORY SERVICES ONE HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND TEACHER TRAINING ON VIRTUAL PROGRAMS AND OTHER OTHER NEEDED PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PPE SANITATION, VEAL DISTRIBUTION AND AFTER SCHOOL AND VIRTUAL SCHOOL PROGRAMS AS WELL AS

PRIVATE SCHOOLS AND INDIRECT COSTS. >> PRIVATE SCHOOLS WERE ELIGIBLE FOR WON FUNDS. AND SO WE DID HAVE A NUMBER OF SCHOOLS THAT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT AND WE HAD WE DID PURCHASE THE ITEMS AND THEN DELIVER THEM OR MAKE.

THEY CAME AND TOOK POSSESSION OF THEM FROM THE DISTRICT OFFICE.

ALSO INDIRECT COSTS IS REALLY A TRANSFER TO THE GENERAL FUND. IT HELPS SUPPORT THE GENERAL FUND OPERATIONS WHEN THEY ARE ADMINISTER CROSS USE COSTS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO ADMINISTER THE GRANTS. SO THAT WAS AN INDIRECT COST I GUESS DEFINITION WOULD BE ON HER TWO FUNDS TWENTY TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION YOU'LL SEE IN THIS CHART THAT WILL OF THE FUNDING IS ON THE BUDGETING IS OUR LEARNING LOSS. THIS IS THE FUNDING SOURCE THAT WAS APPROVED THIS WEEK. SO THAT APPLICATION IS MADE AT LEAST A MONTH AGO AND WE HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO SPEND PARTICULARLY THE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMING THEY 2.0 IS IS THE

[01:55:04]

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE PREVALENT IN THIS BUDGET AS WELL AS PPE AND SANITATION. THERE IS SOME TECHNOLOGY FOR WEB STORAGE AND ADDITIONAL JUST ITEMS TO SUPPORT AND ENHANCE THE STORAGE CAPABILITIES RESUME MEETINGS WE HAVE ALL OF THESE RECORDED MEETINGS ARE BEING STORED. AND SO THERE'S NEED FOR ADDITIONAL STORAGE IN THAT AREA AND OTHERS FACILITIES. THERE IS A BUDGET FOR FOUR HUNDRED AND ELEVEN THOUSAND THE INDOOR AIR QUALITY SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND IS THE MOLD REMIDGE MIDDLE SCHOOL D ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REIMBURSEMENT .

>> SO FOR A TOTAL OF TWENTY TWO POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS. SO THOSE ARE SOME OF THE MAJOR CATEGORIES ARE FUNDS WERE JUST APPROVED, ALLOCATION WAS RECEIVED AND WHEN I SAY ALLOCATION THE DOLLAR AMOUNT WAS RECEIVED AS AN AWARD LETTER WAS RECEIVED APRIL 30TH THE DEADLINE FOR THE APPLICATION IS AUGUST 24TH AND WE HAVE BEGUN TO BUILD THE APPLICATION AND GATHER INFORMATION FROM SENIOR STAFF MEMBERS IN OTHER AREAS AND AND AND AGAIN THESE FUNDS

ALL OF THEM ARE EXTENDED FIRST. >> REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT IN A QUARTERLY BASIS.

SO WE ARE INCORPORATING WE'RE ALREADY BUILDING OUR CASH FLOW STATEMENT FOR OUR CASH FLOW REPORT FOR POTENTIAL TO SEE IF WE REQUIRE A TAN THIS YEAR OR TAX ANTICIPATION NO SHORT TERM FOR FOLLOW UPS, SHORTER CASH FLOWS AND WE'RE INCORPORATING ALL OF THESE FUNDS IF SPENDING IN THOSE CASH FLOWS TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN OUR FUNDING THAT WE

MUST ADVANCE FOR THE DISTRICT. >> AND FINALLY I BRING THIS UP BECAUSE I WANT TO BRING

ATTENTION TO YOU KNOW, THESE PAY INCREASES. >> AND MANY OF THE NORMAL OPERATIONS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT CANNOT BE USED WITH THESE FEDERAL COCAINE RELATED FUNDS. THE SPECIFIC CATEGORIES THAT ARE ADDRESSED AND ARE ALLOWABLE ARE LISTED HERE AND WE MUST SPEND THE BULK OF IT LEARNING LOSS.

AND WE HAVE EVERY BUDGET WE HAVE PREPARED SO FAR HAS DONE THAT AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT WITH THE NEXT ROUND OF ARPA FUNDING. IT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. SO IN SOME CASES WHERE WE HAVE REDUCED GENERAL FUND BUDGETING FOR EXAMPLE IT WAS A QUESTION ON THE PRIOR BOARD MEETING OF WHAT WAS WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO REDUCE IN OTHER DEPARTMENTAL FUNDING? AND THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAVEL. SO WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WE WILL BE ABLE TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THAT PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT INTO OUR ASR 3 OR ARCA FUNDS BECAUSE WE HAVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE HERE.

WE'RE ABLE TO PURCHASE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY. WE HAVE REDUCED SOME FUNDING IN THE GENERAL FUND THIS YEAR FOR LICENSES FOR SOFTWARE AND BECAUSE WE ARE ABLE TO ADDRESS THIS SPECIFICALLY WITH TO ADDRESS LEARNING LOSS. AND WE MAY NOT HAVE HAD THOSE FUNDS OTHERWISE HAD WE NOT HAD THESE ADDITIONAL FUNDS. IT ALLOWS US TO RETURN TO FACE TO FACE SAFELY THOSE WITH THE INTENTION OF THE FUNDS WE CAN PLAN AND IMPLEMENT OUR LEARNING AND AVERAGE SCHOOL PROGRAMS WHICH WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF TO DEVELOP THOSE PLANS FOR THE SUMMER AND POTENTIALLY CONTINUING OUR ACTIVE SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT WE'RE UNDERGOING RIGHT NOW MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, SANITATION EFFORTS AND ADDRESSING AIR QUALITIES OR OTHER ISSUES THAT ARE SPECIFICALLY ADDRESSED WITH

THESE FUNDS. >> SO AGAIN THOSE CANNOT PAY FOR COMPENSATION INCREASES FOR EXISTING STAFF, NOT PAY FOR THE POWER BILL, THE ENERGY BILL, THE PROPERTY INSURANCE, THOSE NORMAL OPERATIONS OF THE DISTRICT. WE MUST USE THESE SUPPLEMENTAL SERVICES ON SPECIFIC AREAS. SO IN CLOSING I HAVE PROPOSED TWO MOTIONS THIS EVENING WHICH

[02:00:06]

>> DOCTORS ASKING. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU TANYA FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I APPRECIATE. I WAS GOING BACK THROUGH OUR APRIL 3RD MEETING SLIDES AND LOOKING AT WHAT THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION WAS AT THAT TIME. I WROTE DOWN THAT WAS ON SLIDE TWENTY NINE.

I APOLOGIZE IF THAT'S INCORRECT. BUT AT THAT TIME THE RECOMMENDATION WAS FOR SCENARIO 2 WHICH WAS A FOUR POINT FOUR MIL INCREASE AT A BUDGET AMOUNT OF TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE MILLION. BUT NOW TODAY THERE'S A PROPOSAL ON SLIDE 20 FOR OF THIS PRESENTATION FOR SEVEN POINT NINE PERCENT INCREASE FOR A TOTAL OF TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR MILLION. SO CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE JUNK I GUESS THAT OCCURRED IN LESS THAN A MONTH'S TIME? YES, SURE.

>> SO THE INITIAL BUDGET IT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD WAS A VERY CONSERVATIVE BUDGET WITH STATE MANDATED INCREASES AND REQUIRED OPERATION INCREASES OF ENERGY COST CONTRACT AND OTHER

CONTRACTUAL SERVICES THAT HAVE AN ANNUAL CPI INCREASE. >> SO THEY WERE BASICALLY A STEP INCREASE FOR TEACHERS. THE THOUSAND DOLLAR INCREASE AND A STEP INCREASE FOR CLASSIFIED STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS. ADDITIONALLY, THE STANDARD AS I MENTIONED THE SERVICE INCREASES REQUIRED CONTRACTUALLY WITH OUR SERVICE VENDORS LIKE CUSTODIAL MAINTENANCE AND GROUNDS AND SO THAT BUDGET WITH THE CURRENT ESTIMATES OF TAX REVENUE AT THAT TIME REDUCED AND THE FOUR FOUR POINT FOUR MILLS WHICH WAS IS OUR CORE PORTION OF THE MILLAGE THAT WAS ALLOWABLE AND AND KNOWN AT THE TIME WHICH WAS I LOOKED BACK TWO YEARS SO WE KNEW AT THE TIME THAT PRIOR TO READ PRIOR YEARS WE HAD BANK MILLAGE OF FOUR POINT FOUR MILS AND WE DIDN'T HAD I NOT KNOWN EXACTLY WHAT THE NEW YEAR'S MILLAGE CAP WOULD ALLOW.

>> SO WITH A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE OF THE STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION BROUGHT FOR A VERY CONSERVATIVE BUDGET WITH REALLY BASIC NEEDS OF THE DISTRICT IT IS NOT ADDRESS AT DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR THE BOARD BUT AT THAT TIME THE SENSE OF THE DISCUSSION WAS THAT IT WAS THE BASIC NEEDS ONLY AND WE FELT LIKE THAT OR THERE WAS DISCUSSION THAT THERE WAS A NEED FOR MORE AND NOT A NEED TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES OF THE EFFICIENCY STUDY TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORTS THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO OPERATE AND ADDRESS ACHIEVEMENT GAP AND LEARNING LOSS. SO THE REQUEST WAS THAT DISTRICT STAFF COME BACK WITH A BUDGET THAT SUPPORTS A MAXIMUM AT THE MAXIMUM M. RIGHT AVAILABLE TO THE DISTRICT AND AS A PART OF THAT WE FOCUSED MOSTLY ON COMPENSATION FOR TEACHERS AND THIS BUDGET ACTUALLY PROVIDES ABOUT 7 MILLION DOLLARS OF INCREASES FOR TEACHER SALARIES ALONE.

SO THAT WAS THE BULK OF THE FOCUS AS WE CAME BACK. AND SO WE ALIGNED WITH STRATEGIC GOALS WE PROVIDED THE DISTRICT SUPPORTS THAT WERE REQUESTED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE ACHIEVEMENT IT OR TO MOVE THE NEEDLE ON ACHIEVEMENT AND TO PROVIDE A COMPETITIVE. I'M NOT SURE IF THE WORDS INNOVATIVE BUT COMPENSATION PACKAGE SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST THE BARE MINIMUM FOR OUR STAFF.

>> SO I BELIEVE I HOPE THAT I CONVEY THAT AS THE WORDS WISHES WERE AT THAT TIME BUT THOSE WERE THE THOSE WERE THE BASIS OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS WE BROUGHT FORWARD TODAY.

[02:05:02]

>> MANTRA IF I CAN JUST FOLLOW UP. >> YES.

THANK YOU. AND ANOTHER THING THAT I FREQUENTLY GET ASKED BY PEOPLE WHEN THEY HEAR THAT THE BUDGET WOULD BE INCREASING, THEY WANT TO KNOW THINGS ABOUT STUDENT OUTCOMES. YOU KNOW WHAT IS WHAT IS THE DISTRICT LOOKING LIKE, HOW WE POSITION THAT THOSE PEOPLE THAT DON'T NECESSARILY HAVE KIDS IN SCHOOL AND THEY WANT TO KNOW HOW OUR KIDS ARE DOING AND I THINK THAT THAT SHOULD BE INSERTED SOMEHOW INTO THIS PRESENTATION AS WE MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I JUST PULLED SOME SC READY AND OF COURSE DATA OFF OF OUR REPORT CARDS AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT WE ARE SEEING GAINS IN OUR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW AS WE ASK FOR MORE FUNDS. BECAUSE I THINK THAT THAT'S THAT'S IMPORTANT PART OF THE CONVERSATION AS WELL. SO THAT'S JUST MY OWN SUGGESTION. IF THERE'S A WAY TO GET THAT INTO THE CONVERSATION, I THINK, YOU KNOW, TOOTING HORN A LITTLE BIT ON THAT WE'RE SEEING GAINS AND SUCCESS IN OUR STUDENTS.

I THINK THAT TO GO ALONG WITH THIS CONVERSATION. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. LET'S GET THE OTHER THING TO REPORT THOUGH THAT IS RELEVANT IS THAT THE NETWORK IS HAVING UNPRECEDENTED IMPACT ON STUDENTS AND STUDENT OUTCOMES.

AND SO THE STATE HAS ALREADY PROJECTED THAT 7 10 STUDENTS IN GRADES THREE THROUGH EIGHT ACROSS THE STATE ARE GOING TO BE BELOW GRADE LEVEL BASED ON PROJECTION FROM THE STATE.

SO SO EVEN THOUGH OUR KIDS HAVE TAKEN THE ASSESSMENT YET THAT'S THE PROJECTION THAT THEY'RE SEEING AND THE IMPACT ACROSS THE STATE THAT THEY'RE SEEING. SO.

SO I THINK THAT'S THAT'S ALSO SPEAKS TO YOUR POINT TOO THAT WHILE WE'VE MADE PROGRESS OVER TIME WE KNOW THIS IS PANDEMIC IS ALSO HAVING AN UNPRECEDENTED IMPACT AND WE NEED TO WORK ON ADDRESSING THAT TO MULTIPLE THE WAY THAT YOU SPEAK CLOSER MICROPHONE.

>> THESE ARE ALL LOOK THE WAY IT DOES. YOU SAID MY 17 PERCENT IS GOING TO FLOW THROUGH IS 7 PERCENT IS THE INDIRECT CONSTRAINT. YES.

YEAH. WELL WE'VE SHIFTED TERMS OF WHAT COULD GO TO JOURNALIST

1. >> NO, SIR. IS AS FAR AS.

OK, SO WE HAVE NOW IS THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF 27 PERCENT IS ALLOWABLE TO BE TRANSFERRED TO THE GENERAL FUND. ONCE THEY ARE IN THE GENERAL FUND IT'S AT THE DISCRETION

OF THE BOARD TO UTILIZE THOSE FUNDS. >> NOW THOSE THOSE 27 PERCENT

IS UP AS A PERCENTAGE OF THE TOTAL. >> NOW THOSE SPENDING IS OVER MULTIPLE YEARS. SO BREAKING THAT DOWN INTO THE YEARS THE ARPA FUNDS WILL ALSO HAVE THE SAME INDIRECT COST OPPORTUNITIES AS THIS WILL AS THE OTHER FUNDS HAVE.

SO WE WILL WE MAY HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO MOVE A PORTION OF THOSE LINES AS WELL.

>> THE FOR USE OF THOSE FUNDS IS THAT THE SS TO FUND THE PLAN JUST APPROVED THIS WEEK.

THE ANSWER 3 PLAN HAS NOT FINALIZED YET AND SUBMITTED TO THE STATE WOULD JUST RECEIVED

THE ALLOCATION OF WEAKER STAFF APRIL 30TH TO OKATIE. >> OH HERE I GO TO HAVE SOME KIND OF PLAN OR ELSE YOU WOULDN'T OR EXISTED WITH A SEPARATE SET OF .

SO I THINK OF THAT. YES. OH THAT'S IS THE THANK YOU 50 SOMETHING SO ARE YOU SCARED? PUT A LOSS. LOSS TO 7 PERCENT THEN YOU LOST SOME YOU ALREADY. MAYBE THERE IS A PLAN. YES SIR.

A OF THOSE LEARNING LOSS. YES I JUST FOUND I UNDERSTAND IN RECOVERY BASIS THE PRESENTATION YOU'RE GIVEN THE VIRTUAL BUDGET FOR IT IT IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.

[02:10:04]

THE ONLY PART OF THIS LAST TIME TOO AND THE REASON I'M BRINGING IT UP AGAIN IS BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT'S JUST THE ONLY WHOLE THIS BUDGET THAT'S EARLY CHILDHOOD AND UNIVERSAL PRE-K BECAUSE THE BOARD HAS TALKED ABOUT THAT AND THERE'S A LOT OF MONEY HERE AND NONE OF IT'S GOING TO THAT. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S OF ANY VALUE.

YOU HAVE NO SUGGESTION HOW THIS MIGHT OCCUR BUT AS WE CERTIFY THIS BUDGET TO HAVE SOME SORT OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT I KNOW THERE'S SOME POLITICAL STUFF COMING DOWN THE PIPE ON THAT EARLY CHILDHOOD. SO IF THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT IN THIS BUDGET TO IF THERE IS A WAY TO SORT OF ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WERE ASKING FOR THIS MUCH MONEY BUT WE STILL ARE GOING TO BE TAKING CARE OF EUROPE, YOU KNOW, EXPANDING EARLY CHILDHOOD IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES, ABSOLUTELY. KATHY RIBAUT? YES. I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT KIND OF IN RESPONSE TO DR. MESQUITE

WHY THIS BUDGET CAME BACK. >> I IF YOU REMEMBER WE GAVE THE STAFF A LIST OF THINGS WE WANTED TO SEE IN THE BUDGET. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL BUDGET WERE THE SECURITY OFFICERS RIBAUT ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. THAT'S ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS. SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, IT CAME WITH THAT KIND OF A BARE BONES TYPE THING AND OUR RESPONSE WAS IF WE NEED MORE WE NEED BETTER FOR OUR STUDENTS.

WE'VE GOT THIS LOSS. YOU KNOW, WE WE CAN'T DO BARE BONES ANYMORE.

WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD. SO I THINK THAT'S FROM MIKE POINT.

>> GOOD POINT. YOU KNOW WHY IT CAME BACK HIGHER BECAUSE WE ASKED FOR

THINGS TO BE ADDED. >> MR CARR. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

WHEN I'M ASKED ABOUT THAT DISTRACTION INCREASE, I HAVE A VERY SIMPLE RESPONSE.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FOUR POINT FOUR MILLION INCREASE IN THE SEVEN POINT SIX MILLION INCREASE WE GOT FOR GOING FORWARD WILL INCREASE. WE ASKED THE SUPERINTENDENT IS THAT SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS THAT THE BOARD HAS PLACED ON YOU OR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT? THE ANSWER TO LOOKING AT SO COME BACK AND TELL US WHAT IT WILL TAKE. WELL THE MAX YOU COULD ASK FOR WAS SEVEN POINT SIX AND HE ASKED FOR SEVEN POINT SIX. IF YOU LOOK AT OUR MILITARY AND YOU LOOK AT THE OF INCREASES WE HAD A YEAR OF FLAT DR. RODRIGUEZ WHEN WE HIRED HIM, WE HIRED HIM PRIMARILY BECAUSE OF HIS SUCCESS IN TAKING AND IMPROVING ACHIEVEMENT GAPS IN HIGHLY DIVERSE SCHOOLS.

>> HE SPENT A YEAR EVALUATING OUR DISTRICT AND THEN CALL THE KIDS AND THEN THE AMOUNT OF MILLAGE WAS FLAT BECAUSE WE HAD A CONTINUING RESOLUTION. HE WAS NOT ABLE TO ADDRESS WHAT WE SAID. MOST IMPORTANT INHERITED THE RESOURCES NOW HE'S GOT.

>> IT'S LIKE HE'S HAD A YEAR MORE IF HE'D BE FRUSTRATED ABOUT TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE HAVE TOLD HIM TO DO. WELL NOW IT'S TIME TO GIVE HIM THE TOOLS AND WE WILL HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE AND HE'S ACCEPTED THAT. SO THAT'S WHAT I TOLD THESE VOTERS AND THAT'S WHAT I TELL THEM. CAN WE COUNSEL WE CAN NOT DO WHAT WE'VE ALWAYS DONE BECAUSE RIBAUT ALWAYS GET MOBLEY ALWAYS GOTTEN AND THAT'S AN ACHIEVEMENT GAP. AND SO IT'S TIME TO PUT US ON A TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS AND SUCCESS IS NO RACIAL ACHIEVEMENT GAP PERIOD. AND IT'S TIME TO START THIS FISCAL YEAR. THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FOUR POINT FOUR AND SEVEN POINT SIX. MR. SMITH MR. WILLIAMS THEN IRRITATING UP.

[02:15:02]

>> MY QUESTION WAS WHICH BUDGET NOW WOULD THE COMMUNITY SEEN TWO THE SENT FOR ME OR OUR CONVERSATION THE ONE THAT THE BOARD HAS THE WAR WAS PRESENTED IN WHICH IN APRIL GAVE TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY POINT NINE COUPLE GRAND BUT HEY IT WAS THE TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET THAT WAS THE SAME PRESENTATION AND SAME INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED ON OUR MEETING LAST TUESDAY THE 11 SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS INCORPORATED WHICH INCLUDED THESE HAIRS AND AND SIR ACT FUND SLIDES AS WELL THE SAME INFORMATION THE SAME DOLLARS OF TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY FOUR MILLION WAS PROVIDED IN THE VIRTUAL BUDGETING PROGRAM PRESENTATION AND I THINK WE DID A PUBLIC RELEASE PUBLIC PRESS RELEASE EVENING AND SENT THAT

OUT TO ALL EMPLOYEES. >> YOU MAY HAVE THAT IN YOUR INBOX AS WELL.

SO THERE'S A LEAK A YOUTUBE LINK THAT ALLOW YOU TO VIEW THAT.

SO I'LL FOLLOW UP TO MAKE SURE THE BOARD MEMBERS ACTUALLY RECEIVE THAT AS WELL.

ON THE WEEK YESTERDAY AND SO WE WILL THAT HAS INFORMATION IN THIS BUDGET PRESENTATION.

>> TOM, WHAT DO THE KIDS WOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE INPUT INTO THAT AT THAT TIME?

>> WE HAVE RECEIVED THE YOUTUBE VIDEO WAS POSTED NOW ON THE WEB ON FRIDAY DESCRIBED I WAS

ASKING. >> I'M NOW NOT REFER TO THE YOUTUBE VIDEO ON FRIDAY.

BUT PRIOR TO THAT WAS THE COMMUNITY ABLE TO GET INPUT GIVE INPUT ON THE BUDGET DURING

PUBLIC COMMENT? >> THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES MORE AVAILABLE BUT WE DID NOT DO A

FORUM PRIOR TO THAT DATE. >> OK GUYS. OK.

THANK YOU. YES. YES.

MY QUESTION. I JUST GOING TO SAY I'M I CANNOT SUPPORT IT AND FIND THIS BUDGET WITHOUT COMMUNITY INPUT. MY VOTE SHOULD NOT REFLECT ON THE WORK BY THE DISTRICT STAFF ON THE BUDGET BOOK IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT. BUT OUR COMMUNITY DESERVES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INPUT. FOR THAT REASON I WANT TO VOTE NO ON THIS TONIGHT.

THANK YOU. I GUESS I WAS JUST GOING TO ADD THAT THROUGH THAT YOUTUBE VIDEO FORUM THEY ARE PROVIDING INPUT. CURRENTLY AND AND THAT CONTINUES TO REMAIN OPEN AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO ADDRESS COMMUNITY QUESTIONS ARE IN PLACE THROUGH THAT AS WE

CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. >> IF I MAY ADD ONE LAST THING THAT WE DO HAVE THREE MEETINGS WITH COUNTY COUNCIL TO THE SECOND AND THIRD READING TO HAVE PUBLIC REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARINGS AS WELL. SO THERE WILL BE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE COMMUNITY TO JOIN AND

TWO COUNTY COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR PUBLIC INPUT AS WELL. >> RIGHT.

BUT YOU'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO CERTIFY THE BUDGET TONIGHT THAT WILL BE OUR STATE ARE OUR STANCE TONIGHT AND AS ELECTED OFFICIALS WE ARE ELECTED BY THE KEY BY THE COMMUNITY.

AND SO COMMUNITY INPUT IS ONCE AGAIN I WILL SAY THAT THAT'S WHY I MADE A STATEMENT I JUST MADE AS WHY I CAN'T I CAN'T I CAN'T SUPPORT IT BECAUSE COMMUNITY DID NOT HAVE PRIOR PRIOR PRIOR ENGAGEMENTS AND CONVERSATIONS WITH THIS BUDGET. SO I UNDERSTAND YOU I PUT SOMETHING OUT FRIDAY BUT WE'RE WORKING ON IT TODAY AND WE DIDN'T PUBLICLY DISCUSS WITH

THE COMMUNITY. THANK YOU, DR. IRENE. >> I HAVEN'T JUST HAD THAT.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS PROBABLY CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. RIGHT.

BUT SINCE FRIDAY WE HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED MORE INPUT AND IT'S BEEN VIEWED BY MORE PEOPLE THAN ANY OTHER PUBLIC FORUM THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD PRIOR TO KILL IT ON THE BUDGET.

BECAUSE I THINK YOU SAID WE HAVE 90 ALREADY AND AND I THINK YOU SAID WHEN YOU HAVE BUDGET FORMS IN THE PAST PRIOR COVERED YOU CAN GET THAT KIND OF TURNOUT.

IT'S PUBLIC BUDGET FORMS ARE TYPICALLY NOT WELL RECEIVED. NIGHTLY NEWS WAS VERY FAVORABLE COMPARED TO MOST YEARS WE'VE DONE BUDGET PRESENTATION THIS BOAT.

>> I DON'T THINK MR. CAMPBELL'S SPOKEN YET. DID YOU? YES. GO AHEAD, MR. CAMPBELL CROSSROADS RAZAK WHERE WE HAD PUBLIC MOST PEOPLE THE LARGEST CROWD WE EVER HAD. IT WAS A CHIMERA.

SO PUBLIC IF YOU LOOK AT COMPANIES WE SHOULD THE NATIVE .

YES. THAT'S BECAUSE A WHOLE LOT BETTER THAN I WOULD CONSIDER

[02:20:04]

BEEN RECEIVED ELECTRONICALLY TO THAT LAKE ABOUT? >> I HAVE SAID THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY YET BUT I I EXPECT THAT THEY WE WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE THOSE WE ARE ABLE TO RESPOND SOONER IF IT IS RIGHT. LIKE. NOW I ACTUALLY KIND OF WANTED TO RESPOND TO WILL'S POINT ABOUT PUBLIC COMMENT BECAUSE HE SAID SOMETHING THAT INTRIGUED ME WHICH IS YOU KNOW, WE ARE REPRESENT AS OF THE PUBLIC. RIGHT.

SO MY DISTRICT OF LEBANON I TALKED TO PEOPLE IN MY DISTRICT ABOUT THIS BUDGET.

I'VE DISCUSSED WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT RAISING THE BUDGET. I'VE BEEN DISCUSSING AND I TELL YOU THE SOUTH AND HEAD ISLAND WANTS TO DISCUSS THE BUDGET. A LOT OF CONVERSATIONS I GO OUT, I ASK PEOPLE AND NOT JUST IN GENERAL WHAT THEY THINK OF THE SCHOOLS, WHAT THEY THINK OF THE BOARD. AND SO I KIND OF FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO IS REPRESENT OUR PUBLIC AND WE SHOULD BE HAVING SOME OF THESE CONVERSATIONS AND THEN WE ARE ELECTED BY OUR CONSTITUENTS TO COME HERE AND REPRESENT THEM.

SO I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED A WHOLE SEPARATE PART. I THINK THEY TRUST US TO CERTIFY THIS BUDGET IF IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR US AND WE'VE GONE OUT AND WE'VE ENGAGED OUR

OWN CONSTITUENTS. >> I DON'T SEE WHY THAT'S A PROBLEM AT THIS POINT, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE THERE AREN'T MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

BUT I'M SURE, MR. SMITH, THAT YOUR COMMUNITY TRUSTS YOU TO MAKE A DECISION ON THIS.

>> MS. >> NOT JUST ABOUT JUST IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT CHOICE.

>> IT'S ALSO THAT WE HAVE IS ABOUT PAST PRESENT PRIORITIES THAT WE'VE GIVING THE COMMUNITY THE TIME TO PROCESS THE BUDGET AND THEY HAVE TIME TO PROCESS IT AND GIVING ME CALL IN THE PAST AND THIS TIME I'LL OFFER THAT WE'VE DONE THAT. SO IN THE COURSE OF BEING TRANSPARENT WHEN YOU CHANGE A SYSTEM THAT PEOPLE ARE USED TO THEN THERE ARE STEPS THAT YOU TAKE SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE CHANGE. SOMETHING WILL UNDERSTAND CHANGES SOMETIMES CHANGE MUST HAPPEN AND ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE PANDEMIC AND I THINK THAT I DON'T WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I'M CAREFUL THAT I GIVE MARKET TOURS A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET IN. I'M SURE THEY DO TRUST ME AND WE'LL GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO LOOK AT THE BUDGET BEFORE ME BEFORE CERTIFYING AND VOTE ON THE BUDGET AND WE HAVEN'T TIME TO CALL ME ON IT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS GOING ON IN LIFE RIGHT NOW.

SO I THERE JUST PAST PRACTICES WE'VE DONE IT A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY AND WE WERE WHEN WE WERE I FIGURED THAT WE THE TRANSPARENCY WAS A LITTLE MORE DIFFERENT.

>> SO WE ARE FIVE MINUTES LATE TO MAKE PROMOTION OR ANOTHER BOARD MEMBER OUT.

>> MADAM CHAIRMAN, I KNOW THAT THE BOARD AND I MOVED THE VIEW FOR COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVE AND CERTIFIED IN FISCAL 2021 2022. GENERAL FUND BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR THOUSAND SIX DOLLARS WITH AN OPERATIONAL MILLAGE RATE OF 1 TO ONE POINT SIX ACTIVE AND AND THAT WAS EXTRA SPENDING. THAT WAS THE SECOND NOW I'M SORRY EARL CAMPBELL.

ALL RIGHT. ANY DISCUSSION? MR. MAYOR CAMPBELL, YOU'RE HERE

DOES THAT. >> YES, I YOU'VE MADE IT THIS LONG.

OK. THANK YOU, DR. WISNIEWSKI. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

AND I APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS. MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS AND I CERTAINLY RESPECT EVERYONE'S OPINION I'LL BE VOTING DOWN ON THIS TODAY. I WAS MORE IN LINE WITH SCENARIO TWO THAT WAS PRESENTED TO US ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THIS IS GOING FULL BORE AND I CERTAINLY AGREE THAT THERE ARE AREAS SUCH AS THE SECURITY OFFICERS THAT WERE ALREADY IDENTIFIED BY THE COMMUNITY, THE PUBLIC PARENTS AND THE BOARD AS A PRIORITY.

I RECOGNIZE OUR TEACHERS ALSO ARE DO APPROPRIATE COMPENSATION BUT AT THIS POINT IN TIME WITH A POTENTIAL REFERENDUM STILL AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN FACILITIES NEEDS BETTER TO OCCUR AND ALSO THE THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON IN OUR COUNTY AND OUR COMMUNITY OUTSIDE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT HAVE TO DO WITH AN INCREASE IN TAXES COMING DOWN FROM COUNTY COUNCIL AND REFERENDUMS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE POTENTIALLY FLOATING.

I CAN'T SUPPORT IT AT THIS RATE INCREASE. SO I'LL BE VOTING DOWN.

[02:25:01]

THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE NO FOR AN ANSWER.

THE QUESTION IS CALLED YES. YES. THE MOTION CARRIES THE THREE WITH ZERO SANCTIONS. SO THE THREE THOSE ARE MR. STRANGER DR. WISNIEWSKI AND MR.

WILLIAM SMITH. >> MR. GEIER MADAM CHAIR, I KNOW THAT THE BEAUFORT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION APPROVED AND CERTIFY THE FISCAL YEAR TWENTY TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWENTY TWO DEBT SERVICE FUNDED BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF SEVENTY FIVE MILLION THREE HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND FORTY SEVEN DOLLARS WITH A DEBT MILLAGE RATE OF THREE SIX POINT THREE SECOND SECOND MR. OCAMPO ON ANY DISCUSSION MR. SMITH THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO HAVE DISCUSSED WITH THE AUTHOR WITH THE PUBLIC PRIOR TO DOING THIS.

>> SO FOR THAT HOW MUCH I CAN UNDERSTAND I KNOW THEY TRUST ME BUT YOU KNOW WE'D LIKE I WOULD ASK YOU JUST SAID WE HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON AND KIND COUNCILS CAN BRING SOME DIFFERENT THINGS IN SO I THINK THAT WE WANT TO BE CAREFUL HOW WE DO THIS SO I CAN'T SUPPORT TONIGHT ON THE FUTURE MAYBE BUT TO THAT THAT THIS AT THIS JUNCTURE I JUST DON'T SEE THAT HAPPENING. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

I HAVE TO THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK BACK IN BUSINESS.

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. TANYA, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF APPROVING AND CERTIFYING THE DEBT SERVICE FUND BUDGET? IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS KIND OF RECENTLY APPROACHED CHANGED TO A RECALL THAT THERE CONVERSATION ABOUT IT AND I'D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH.

PERHAPS LAST YEAR WHEN THE WAR APPROACHED WE DISCUSSED THE FUNDING FOR THE REFERENDUM.

THERE WAS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL MILLAGE TO SUPPORT THE INCREASE IN THE REPAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS ON THE 75 MILLION DOLLAR ORIGINAL 75 MILLION DOLLARS BONDS AND THE SECOND AND THIRD BOND ISSUES THAT WE WOULD BE REQUIRED TO FUND THREE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR BOND REFERENDUM PROGRAM. SO AS A RESULT OF INCREASED BORROWINGS WE HAD INCREASED PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS AS WELL.

>> SO SO THERE WAS DISCUSSION WITH THE COUNTY AUDITOR LAST YEAR AND THEN EVENTUALLY FORENSIC AUDIT WHICH RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD BE INFORMED OF THE DEBT SERVICE REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES ON AN ANNUAL BASIS AND ACTUALLY THERE IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE RULE THAT INDICATES THIS AREA AND DOES STATE THAT THE BOARD WOULD APPROVE AND CERTIFY A BOTH A

GENERAL FUND AND A DEBT SERVICE BUDGET. >> SO IT WAS RECOMMENDED BY ATTORNEYS AT THAT TIME THAT WE WOULD MOVE FORWARD IN THE FUTURE WITH IMPROVING A GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND A DEBT SERVICE FUND BUDGET. SO THAT DEMONSTRATES THAT THE BOARD HAS BEEN INFORMED OF WHAT REVENUES WOULD BE REQUIRED. TO PRODUCE FOOD TAX KNOWLEDGE FOR DEBT SERVICE AND THE SPECIFIC EXPENDITURES THAT WOULD BE EXPECTED TO BE SPENT

WITH THE REPAYMENT OF BONDS. >> AND SO AS A RESULT OF THAT RING OR THE FULL DEBT SERVICE INFORMATION, ALL OF THE DETAILS OF THAT INCLUDING CASH FLOWS TO JUSTIFIES MILLAGE RATE THAT WOULD BE PROVIDED ULTIMATELY TO THE COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICE ONCE THOSE FINAL NUMBERS ARE IN FILE TAX COLLECTIONS ARE IN. SO IT ALL CAME FROM RECOMMENDATIONS THAT AS A

[02:30:02]

RESULT OF THE ADDITIONAL AUDIT FROM LAST YEAR. >> THANK YOU.

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOU GOING THROUGH ALL THAT BECAUSE THAT PART WAS THE ONE THAT WAS NEW TO ME AND I THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR THE PUBLIC TO KNOW IN CASE THEY SEE THIS AND ARE WONDERING THAT LOOKS NEW AND ALSO THE DEBT MILLAGE RATE IS SET BY THERE IS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE FINANCE TEAM COMES FROM OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND THAT IS THE RECOMMENDATION ACTUALLY THE DEBTS THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR RECOMMENDED THIRTY SIX POINT SIX MILES LAST YEAR AND THAT AMOUNT WAS LOWERED TO THIRTY SIX POINT THREE BY A COUNTY AUDITOR WHO IMPOSED A LOWER MILLAGE THAN WAS WHAT WAS PROVIDED IN THE COUNTY

ORDINANCE AND APPROVED BY COUNTY COUNCIL. >> SO IT'S ACTUALLY SITTING AT THIRTY SIX POINT THREE MILES. AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING NO CHANGE THIS YEAR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I APPRECIATE THAT. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> THE QUESTION IS CALLED YES,

THE MOTION CARRIES 10 1. >> THE ONE NOTE IS MR. BEN WE ARE NOW DOWN TO THE THIRD ITEM

UNDER BOARD. >> THIS IS ACTION. THANK YOU GUYS.

BIG DR. STRATOS IS GETTING A WAIVER FOR A VIRTUAL PROGRAM. >> GOOD EVENING, EVERYONE.

>> BETWEEN SO GOOD EVENING BOARD MEMBERS AND MADAM CHAIR TONIGHT I WANT TO BRING FORWARD THE FIRST SEGMENT OF A TWO PART PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU PUT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT VIRTUAL

PROGRAM. >> THIS PRESENTATION WILL HIGHLIGHT POINTS ADDRESSING REQUIREMENTS OF BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT TO APPLY TO THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR A VIRTUAL WAIVER AND WILL ALSO ADDRESS THE NEXT STEPS. I WANTED TO RECALL THAT IN NOVEMBER 2019 YOU PUT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT OBTAIN A STATE APPROVAL FOR SC VIRTUAL FRANCHISE. HOWEVER, WITH THE ONSET OF OCTOBER 19 WE ENGAGE IN A DISTRICT WIDE VIRTUAL MODEL TO ADDRESS STUDENT LEARNING. THIS IMPACT ME MY COWORKER COBY RESULTED IN A NATIONALLY HIGH NUMBER OF STUDENTS ENROLLED INTO VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION AND MANY STATE GOVERNMENTS REALIZED A POTENTIAL SHIFT IN DISTRICT COSTS.

>> THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA WAS NO DIFFERENT. >> HAD THIS REALIZATION AND THIS YEAR DEVELOP THE LEGISLATION PROPOSAL OF PER STUDENT FUNDING CUTS TO DISTRICTS WHO WERE EITHER PLANNING OR CONTINUING VIRTUAL PROGRAMS FOR THE 2021 2022 ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR. HOWEVER, LATE IN APRIL SOUTH CAROLINA, CAROLINA LANDED ON THE DECISION OF PROVIDING SCHOOL DISTRICTS UNO PER STUDENT PENALTY IF THEIR VIRTUAL ENROLLMENT DID NOT EXCEED BEYOND 5 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL DISTRICT'S STUDENT ENROLLMENT. IT WAS JUST NOT A VACATION THAT WE ARE NOW ENGAGING AND GROWING . BCSE VIRTUAL PROGRAM TO START THE PROCESS.

WE'RE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT STATE WAIVERS SO I WILL GO THROUGH A FEW OF THE STATE WAIVERS FIRST AND THEN A FEW OF THE SLIDES BECAUSE WHEN WE GET TO THE OPPORTUNITY OF COMING BACK TO YOU AS BOARD MEMBERS THEN I WILL CONTINUE WITH A FEW SLIDES IN THIS PRESENTATION.

>> I'D LIKE IT UP TO SOME OF THE WAIVERS THAT OBAMA DID TOUCH THAT TO BE 43 STASH TO 31 WHICH IS ABOUT INSTRUCTION IN THE SUBJECT AREAS 43 TO THIRTY ONE FORTY THREE TO 32 TO 32 A.

AND TWO THIRTY FOUR. SO I'M GOING TO ASK IF POSSIBLE IF YOU CAN GO BACK TO THE PRESIDENT'S I APPRECIATE HIS WRITING TO THE THANK YOU. SO WE COULD JUST START RIGHT

[02:35:03]

MAYBE YOU CAN PROCEED TO THE NEXT SLIDE PLEASE. >> THIS HERE JUST SPEAKS VERY BRIEFLY REGARDING SOME OF THE INNOVATIONS THAT ARE SOUTH CAROLINA HAS RECOGNIZED WITH SHIFTING THEIR IDEA OF PUTTING A PENALTY AND ALLOWING SCHOOL DISTRICTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO FORWARD WITH A VIRTUAL MODEL WITHOUT SHIFT IN OUR PREFERRED STUDENT COST WITH THIS.

>> WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE IT IS A CHANGE IN MINDSET. LOCAL POLICY AND PRACTICES AND ABOVE ALL RIGHT NOW THE STATE POLICY AND REGULATIONS WE'RE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THE VIRTUAL

RATIONALE OF PRACTICE. >> THIS NEXT SLIDE GIVES US INFORMATION SLIDE FOR MEETING THE NEEDS OF DIVERSE LEARNERS PROVIDING CHOICE OF STUDENTS AND FAMILIES AS TO HOW THEY WANT TO LEARN PROVISION FOR A COMPETITIVE EDGE IN THE CHARTER AND WHOLE SCHOOL MARKET

MARKETPLACE. >> AND THE POTENTIAL MEETING CHANGES IN THE EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE SUBJECT TO EXTERNAL INFLUENCES AND CHANGES. I'D LIKE TO SKIP SLIDE 5 6 AND 7 AND 8 HERE WE CAN GO TO SLIDE 9 TO BE LEGISLATION PLUS SO THE LEGISLATURE'S LEGISLATION RULING IDENTIFIED IN THE WAIVERS ARE 43 BAGHDAD TO 31 WHICH IS INSTRUCTION IN THE SUBJECT AREAS SHALL BE SCHEDULED EACH STUDENT FOR MINIMUM WAGE.

>> EIGHTEEN HUNDRED MINUTES OR THIRTY HOURS PER WEEK INCLUDING LUNCH OR EQUIVALENT TIME ON A YEARLY BASIS. THE NEXT LEGISLATION IDENTIFIES THE SCHOOL DAY MUST BE AT LEAST SIX HOURS INCLUDING LUNCH LEGISLATION FOR FORTY THREE DASH TWO THIRTY TWO INSTRUCTION IN SEPARATE AREAS THAT SHALL BE SCARED OF BEING EACH STUDENT A MINIMUM OF 18 OUT OF ME

EIGHTEEN HUNDRED MINUTES OR 30 HOURS PER WEEK EMPLOYEE 1. >> AND THAT'S THE SECOND AREA.

SO IT'S ELEMENTARY AND WE RECOGNIZE SECONDARY ONE TWO THREE DASH TO THIRTY TWO THE SCHOOL DAY MOST FAMILIES SIX HOURS INCLUDING ONE BODY FORTY THREE DASH TWO THIRTY FOUR A SCHOOL MAY AWARD ONE UNIT CREDIT OF AN ACADEMIC STANDARD BASE FOR COURSE THAT REQUIRES A MINIMUM OF ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY HOURS THIS WEEK FOR WHAT WE KNOW IS SEAT TIME THE LINES LEGISLATION IN THIS WAIVER IS 43 TO 34 FOR THE INSTRUCTIONAL DAYS THE SECONDARY STUDENTS MUST BE AGAIN AT LEAST SIX HOURS DAYS INCLUDING LUNCH AND EVER AGAIN AS A SECONDARY STUDENT. THESE WAIVERS ARE NECESSARY AS WE RECOGNIZE IF WE GO WITH A VIRTUAL PROGRAM OUR STUDENTS WOULD BE MORE HONORABLE A WOMAN'S BASED MODEL NOT SEATED IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTERS FOR A TOTAL OF SIX AND A HALF HOURS A DAY.

AND THESE ARE THE KEY ONES THAT ARE TIED TO A SHIFTING WHAT WE GET FROM A TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM INTO A VIRTUAL CLASSROOM THAT WE CALL EXPERIENCES PASS HERE.

>> SO I'D LIKE US TO KEEP IN MIND WE ARE LOOKING FOR FUN PARTNERING FOR SERVICES IN GRADES K THROUGH PAIN AS THE PROGRAMING IMPLEMENTATION DEMONSTRATES AND GROWS WE WILL LOOK INTO HAVING OTHER OPPORTUNITIES GROWING FOR OUR STUDENTS.

>> I THINK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO RECOGNIZE IS THE LIFTING OF THAT POTENTIAL PENALTY TO SCHOOLS OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT 5 PERCENT OF A THRESHOLD ALLOWING A 75 CENT SCHOOL ENROLLMENT WITHOUT BEING PENALIZED ON A COST PER STUDENT ABOVE THINK THE SAFE IS A SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY FOR US. SO AT THIS TIME WE GO TO THE LAST SLIDE PLEASE ON THIS PROFIT PROCESS WHERE BASICALLY IT'S STEP NUMBER ONE A WAIVER

OF THE GOOGLE RULE OR LOOKING FOR A WAIVER. >> THIS LEGISLATION POINTS THAT I SHARED WITH YOU AS WE GO FORWARD WE WILL LOOK INTO JOINING A CONSORTIUM.

WE WOULD SIGN AN AGREEMENT. OH, OF COURSE. AND IF THE NATION BEHIND IT OF COURSE AS WELL AS THE DELIVERABLES. BUT IN ORDER TO GO FORWARD I FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO START THE WAIVER DELIVER THAT HAD NOT GO TO THE STATE.

I'VE BEEN IN CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH THE STATE. DAVID, ONCE WE IDENTIFY THE AREAS TO ADDRESS AND THEY'RE JUST WAITING FOR OUR OPPORTUNITY TO SUBMIT THE APPLICATION. SO AT THIS TIME I AM OPEN FOR QUESTIONS.

>> MR. MAYOR CAMPBELL HAVE YOU LEARNED TO FACE WOULD YOU SAY IF ONE OF THE OPPORTUNITIES

[02:40:10]

>> I YOU SUGGESTED THAT WE PARTNER WITH WHAT'S AVAILABLE FOR YOU A PROGRAM THAT IS OF PERSONAL PROGRESS. YES, SIR. SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO STILL HAVE OUR STUDENTS WHO DO IT TO SEE ACTUAL NOT WITHIN OUR FRANCHISE.

>> THAT OPPORTUNITY WILL STILL EXIST FOR US AND WE CAN OPEN THAT KEPT COMMUNICATION OPEN WITH VIRTUAL I RECOMMENDING THAT WE MAINTAIN OUR VIRTUAL STATUS OUR FRANCHISE STATUS AS WELL BECAUSE AS WE LOOK FUTURE INTO GROWTH THAT FRANCHISES THEY LIMITED AT THE STATE BEING RELEASED BE RECOUNTING WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE PERCENT VISITS FROM SOME TO PLATFORM 0 7 OUTSIDE OF THE I'M NOT EXPECTING 5 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS TO ENROLL SEE DIRECTLY.

>> THAT WAS IS NOT THE TREND THAT WE'RE SEEING WITH NUMBERS NOR HOW WE'RE WORKING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL. AS YOU RECALL THOSE WERE AS YOU KNOW 1912.

THANK YOU, SIR. MR. BY. THANK YOU.

>> MY QUESTION WAS AROUND THAT 5 PERCENT AS WELL. AND THIS IS PROBABLY WAY TOO EARLY TO ASK THIS QUESTION. BUT DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE IF WE HAVE 6 PERCENT 7 PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO DO IT, WE DETERMINE WHICH 5 PERCENT DO WE CAN GIVE IT BACK PERCENT.

WELL, THERE'S TWO POINTS THAT YOU BRING. WELL, WHAT THIS IS REAL LINE ONE IS WE RECOGNIZE THE STUDENTS ARE VERY INVOLVED IN VIRTUAL OR MEDIA WRITING ESTABLISHED WITHIN THE CONSORTIUM WE'RE ACTUALLY TO WHERE WE NEED THAT 5 PERCENT THRESHOLD. SO WE HAVE WORK THAT DOESN'T LOOK AT THOSE NUMBERS TO GIVE A SAFETY NET ALTHOUGH WE'RE NOT LOOKING BY ANY MEANS TO START AT LAUNCH.

WE WANT TO BE SAFE AND LOOKING AT A CERTAIN GRADE BAND AND THEN AS WE GO FORWARD AND GET A READING SUCCESS LET'S KEEP ADDING AND ADDING. BUT RIGHT NOW AS WE LOOK AT THE

CRITERIA WE ARE A SAFETY NET WITHIN THAT 5 PERCENT. >> INGRID, DON'T WRITE.

SO I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. ONE GOES TO EQUITY DOES A WELL BRANCH HIGH SCHOOL AND ACCESS CAME UP QUITE A BIT. AND I WOULD ACTUALLY FOLLOW UP AGAIN.

WELL, RENTERIA HAS ALMOST NO BROADBAND ACCESS. SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERY CHILD IN THE DISTRICT WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY IF THEY DON'T HAVE BROADBAND ACCESS? MARY, I'LL TAKE THAT.

SO. SO CURRENTLY WELL, BRANCH IS ONE OF THE ONE OF THE AREAS OF OUR DISTRICT THAT IS ACTUALLY MORE HEAVILY INVOLVED IN VIRTUAL PROGRAMING THAN THEY ARE IN FACE TO FACE PROGRAM CURRENTLY. RIGHT NOW WE ALSO HAVE MY FIVE DEVICES THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE THAT WE CAN HAND OUT TO STUDENTS AND MAKE SURE THAT

THAT THAT WORKS THROUGH CELL PHONE TOWERS AND CELL SERVICE. >> SO.

SO IF THERE BROADBAND OUT THERE THEY CAN CONNECT THROUGH YOU THROUGH MY FIVE DEVICES CAPABLE OF GOING. SO SOMETIMES THAT'S A BAND-AID SOLUTION.

>> I MEAN THESE FAMILIES NEED BROADBAND ACCESS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO BE PROPOSED BUT I WAS LOOKING WE SPEND ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH COVERING CAN WE NOT LIKE SORT OF GET WITH THEM AND SAY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT BECAUSE TO ME WHAT THIS PANDEMIC HAS BEEN HAS SAID PROVIDENCE NECESSITY.

IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL SERVICE. AND IF WE HAVE TO GET IT TO ALL THE KIDS AND BE FOR CARRY AND SOME OF THEM AND I KNOW THAT ONE BRANCH HAD I DON'T KNOW HOW SUCCESSFUL IT'S BEEN BECAUSE WE DID HEAR FROM STUDENTS SPEND A LOT OF TIME FIGHTING WHAT THEIR DEVICES.

SO THAT WOULD BE ONE ISSUE. I THINK THERE'S AN EQUITY ISSUE AND I THINK WE SHOULD GET WITH OUR GRADE AND WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE GIVE THEM. SO WHAT CAN WE DO TO FIX LIKE AN ACTUAL WIRED CONNECTION TO THE HOME OR TO A COMMUNITY CENTER OR SOMETHING?

[02:45:01]

LOOK, YOU'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL FULFILL YOUR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND THEY DID THE KIDS ARE GETTING THE SAME EDUCATION THAT THEY WOULD IF THEY WERE IN SEATS SAY YOU'RE LEADING INTO MY PART TWO IN THIS WAY SUMMARY AND YOU THE SLIDES AND THE POWERPOINT ADDRESSED ADDRESSED THE ELIGIBILITY ONE AND THAT GIVES SCHOOL RECOMMENDATION BY SCHOOL COUNSELOR AND THE PRINCIPAL WHICH IS SIGNIFICANT. I HAVE TO SHARE THAT AS WELL AS MEETING A GPA REQUIREMENT THAT WE ARE ABLE TO CANDIDLY AT THE ELEMENTARY.

SO I'M LOOKING OF PEOPLE LOOK AT THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN VIRTUAL.

WE'VE ACTUALLY READY ESTABLISHED A TABLE THAT WE THEY CONVERGENCE ON GPA ELEMENTARY AND OBVIOUSLY IN HIGH SCHOOL BUT THAT WHEN HE SAID THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS THE RECOMMENDATION FROM THE SCHOOL SITE, THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR THAT PRINCIPAL THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WORKING EVEN CLOSER THAN US. WELL, WHEN WE MOVE FROM THAT AND REALLY HAVE A CLOSE CALL IN THE ATTENDANCE OF YOUR INVOLVEMENT, WHAT OUR CHILDREN THAT'S THAT'S GREAT NEWS BECAUSE I WAS BORN SO THERE'S REALLY MINIMUM GPA THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE. YES. MAYBE FOR ME, MR. CAMPBELL.

EXCUSE INSTEAD OF JUST FIRST. WOULD YOU HAVE ACCEPTED MY WAS VERY GREAT.

I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING MORE ABOUT THE CONSORTIUM AND WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THAT.

BUT MY COMMENT IS THIS IS PROBABLY THE NUMBER ONE TOPIC I'M HEARING IN MY COMMUNITY.

YES. WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED FROM THIS PANDEMIC AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO TAKE WHAT MIGHT BE WORKING FOR SOME OF OUR FAMILIES AND WE KEEP MAKING MORE THAN YOUR SO THAT'S WHY I FIND THIS VERY EXCITING AND LOOK FORWARD TO MORE.

APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU. RIGHT NOW IN THE STUDIO, KIMBERLY, AS ALWAYS IS I AGREE WITH WHAT THE STRUCTURE GRANTS GO.

>> WE'RE GOING TO TRAVEL TO BACK AND GET SOME TEACHERS OUT IF YOU KNOW OF WILL PROBABLY WANT TO USE MORE AND I WAS. WAS THIS A PART OF OUR PLAN WHICH YOU ALREADY PUT UP BIG RED FLAG IN MY MIND WHEN YOU SAID GPA BECAUSE THAT ALONG CARA CREATES A SEGREGATION OR D DONE TO THESE STUDENTS SUPPOSEDLY AND BADLY NEEDS ETC. YOU KNOW DISABILITIES OUT THERE I'LL BE FIRST AND AND I'LL LET THE STATE WORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT HOW DOES THAT.

I WAS OUT THERE FIVE PERCENT STUDENT THAT'S DOING VIRTUALLY A CERTAIN GPA IMPACT.

ALBERT MOHLER RIBAUT READING THE REST OF US STUDENTS WHAT WOULD WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN SOME FORM OF VIRTUAL EDUCATE? THAT SOMETHING THAT WE'VE GOT A PHONE CALL OR A FACE SAID NOT JUST DROP ALL THOSE CONFUSED ALL THOSE BROADBAND MANOLO THINGS THAT WE HAVE LEARNED ALL OF THIS ARCHIVE BECAUSE STUDENTS WHO ARE REALLY GOOD AT I'VE GONE TO 5 PERCENT AND NOBODY ELSE TO SEE THEM NEXT PANDEMIC CATCHES FLAT FOOTED AGAIN.

>> I DON'T WANT TO KILL THE IDEA OF A BEAUTY. >> I WAS THINKING THAT JUST AS A GOD I'M HUNGRY AT NIGHT. AND I THINK THAT IT'S FROM YES SAID DR. IS NASTY.

>> THANK YOU, MADAM SHARON. THANK YOU, DR. SHADOWS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I DID SEE IT KIND OF AS IT AS A PAIN POINT AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH THE VIRTUAL PROGRAM AND KATE, HOW DO WE SUSTAIN THAT FOR THE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES THAT NEED IT? I JUST HAVE TO COMMENT BRIEFLY AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THEM BUT JUST SOMETHING TO GET THE BALL ROLLING. I DO ALSO KIND OF HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DPA REQUIRING AND THAT'S SIMPLY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT FOR SOME STUDENTS BULLYING IS AN ISSUE OR YOU KNOW, THEY DON'T LEARN WELL IN THE CLASSROOM ENVIRONMENT AND VIRTUAL HAS BEEN REALLY GREAT FOR THEM. SO I JUST WOULD CAUTION US IN HAVING THAT AS BEING A SET REQUIREMENT AND NOT HAVING A TYPE WAIVER IF YOU WILL OR A GUIDANCE COUNSELOR OR SOMEONE THAT CAN MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ON THAT REGARDLESS OF GPA THOSE STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO BE SERVED IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT. AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS IN REGARD SPORTS SOME OF THESE KIDS MAY BE INTERESTED PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS AS WELL

[02:50:01]

I THINK IT'S A GREAT INITIATIVE AND I'M EXCITED TO SEE HOW IT PANS OUT.

>> YES. >> SO THERE IS A CRITERIA WE WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT THE ELIGIBILITY FOR MOVING THE WE UTILIZE LANGUAGE MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES, DISCRETIONARY PRACTICE. THAT IS ONE OF THE POINTS THAT SCHOOLS WILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. WE'D LOVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY EXPAND EXCELLENCE, EXPAND THIS WITH REGARD TO OUR HOMEBOUND EXPAND THIS WITH REGARD TO OUR STUDENTS WHO DECLARED TO BE HOMES WHO WOULD BE IF COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT WHERE THEY WOULD FALL UNDER GUIDANCE AS YOU JUST DROVE THAT CONVERSATION OFF THOSE NEVSKY SAID COULD EQUAL TIME VIRTUAL AND STILL THAT OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE THE SPORTS MY HOME SCHOOL.

>> SO THOSE OPTIONS WILL EXIST WITH THIS MODEL. ALL RIGHT.

MR. WILLIAMS MATT, THANKS FOR DOING THIS FOR DOING THE PRESENTATIONS.

>> A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION ON BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DO QUESTION IS, YOU KNOW, WOULD I TO STAY HERE? HERE SHE IS ON TO ONE OF WAS ABOUT THE OF THE GPA IS THAT KIND OF A CONCERN OF MINE BECAUSE YOU CAN HAVE IT AS A STUDENT OF A LEARNING DISABILITY OR SOMETHING AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE GUESS ABOUT THE QUESTION ON LAND WOULD BE WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD THEY STILL HOWARD? HOW WOULD YOU PUT THEM INTO THE FOLD? EVEN I KNOW THAT AND AN IEP HAS CERTAIN RULES THAT WOULD BASICALLY PUT THEM AND PUT THEM PUT THEM UP ABOVE WHATEVER THE PROGRAM SATISFIES IS MORE BUT MORE SLOWLY. ALSO I DO HAVE OTHER CONCERNS THAT THIS COULD THIS IS NOT BEING A PROGRAM WHERE WE WILL WE WILL PUT MISPLACE MISBEHAVED KIDS IN AND INDICATED THAT WE DON'T WANT INTO THE DISTRICT INTO THESE TALENTED INTO THIS THIS ARE THESE THESE VIRTUAL CLASSES AS WELL BECAUSE THEN I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN WE CAN BE ABLE TO BE BE STARTING TO LOSING STUDENTS WAS I SO I GOT MY LAST SENTENCE WAS FROM FEARFUL FAILURE.

SO I MEAN THAT ACTUALLY IS I OUR AT ANY TURN WE DEFINITELY AS A DISTRICT DON'T WANT TO DO THAT. BUT SOMETIMES IF THIS IS NOT MANAGED AND WATCH VERY WITH OUR MICROSCOPE THAT IS THAT THAT CAN EASILY HAPPEN ALSO. THAT IS ONE OF WHAT ONE OF MY CONCERNS AS WELL AND ALSO A MODEL MY MY LAST QUESTION IS THIS HOW DOES THIS TIES INTO

THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP AS WELL? >> I WOULD SAY FIRST OF ALL I LIVE COMMON OKATIE.

NUMBER ONE, THAT MUCH IS BEING ASKED HIM BE HE BEHIND THE KANSAS STUDENT CENTER IMMEDIATELY BOARD MEMBERS IS PROBABLY ONE THAT WAS COMMENDABLE ITEMS AND I HAVE TO SHARE. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SECOND UTILIZATION OF THE GPA OF GOLDMAN HAVE OUR CHILDREN. I HOPE WE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE WE'VE GONE THROUGH 16 17 MONTHS OF LEARNING LOSS AND WE WANT TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO WILL EXCEL.

WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOT EXCELLED IN VIRTUAL BUT NO ONE AMONG US I THINK EVERYBODY IN HERE WHO IS STUDENTS CENTRIC IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CHILDREN TO CROSS THE STAGE AND GRADUATE AND THEY'LL BE ON. SO WE HAVE TO BE CASH CAREFUL AND MONITOR THEIR 100 PERCENT ON POINT. THIS IS NOT TO BE A PROGRAM THAT WE TAKE OUR CHILDREN WHO WILL MAYBE IDENTIFY AS DISCIPLINARY AND PUT IT INTO VIRTUAL TO GET THEM OFF CAMPUS THAT IS WANT TO BE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AS WELL. WELL LOW LEVEL WHAT I CALL PARKING TICKETS ARE RIGHT. IT'S NOT THE KIND OF RISK BEHAVING IN CLASS CHILDREN DO THAT. BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT LEVEL TO A LEVEL THREE, THIS IS NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT CHILDREN UNLESS IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE SERVICES AND THE COMMENTARY FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH AN IEP. THE CONSORTIUM AND I DON'T WANT TO GIVE THAT MUCH OF DETAIL THAT THE CONSORTIUM DOES HAVE A COMMITTEE WITH REGARD TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS WITH KIDS ARE STUDENTS WILL STILL BE SERVICE FROM OUR HOME SCHOOL TO OUR RESOURCE TEACHERS. SO THESE OPTIONS WILL EXIST.

WE IT IS INCLUSIVE INCLUSIONARY MODEL AND AGAIN IT IS THAT A RECOMMENDATION AND IF A KID MAYBE BETTER SERVED ON VIRTUAL AN IEP TEAM COULD I WOULD SAY THAT RECOMMENDATION IS NEVER REMOVE SECTION MR. EARL CAMPBELL BUT TO SAY WE TAKE SOME IDEAS OFF SOME PARENTS WHAT OUR CHILDREN NEED TO BE THE CLASSROOM FACE TO FACE TEACHERS WE TALKING ABOUT CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT THOSE TWO EXAMPLES IN THE VIRTUAL PAIR HERE NONE OF THEM HAVE FAILED.

[02:55:03]

>> SO HOW SUGGESTS THAT ALL OF US TO BE FACED LATERAL ONE THE CHAIR AND SHE'S READY TO

MAKE A MOTION. >> I DO SEE THIS AS THE FIRST STEP AND YOU KNOW, CREATING A PROGRAM THAT WAS RUN FOR SOME APPARENT STUDENTS TO CONTINUE TO EDUCATION.

I MOVE THAT THE DUPAGE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD OF EDUCATION DIRECTS THE SUPERINTENDENT, DR. FRANK RODRIGUEZ TO SYDNEY A WAIVER REQUEST IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IN SUPPORT OF BEAUFORT COUNTY IMPLEMENTATION OF A VIRTUAL

PROGRAM SECOND BY MISS VILLAGE . >> TELL MR. SMITH THAT MR.

OBAMA PUT YOUR HANDS DOWN AND THEN PUT HIM BACK UP. >> IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT YOUR DOWNWARD IT'S ABOUT MR. SMITH. MY QUESTION IS MAYBE SHE ADVANCES THE RIBAUT I WILL GIVE HER A HOW WILL THIS BE IN LINE WITH THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP AND HOW WILL THIS HELP STUDENTS WITH THE WITHOUT OR WITHOUT GOALS OF CLOSING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP?

>> SO MR. SMITH, THAT THE AND I TO RECOGNIZE THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT QUESTION BACK UP . I THINK BY BEING ABLE TO BE DEFINITIVE REGARDING ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA AND HAVING STUDENTS WHO MEET THE ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA THE CONCESSIONS OF SCHOOLS BEING ABLE TO GO TO COMMUNITY BY MYSELF FOR AN IEP, I THINK BY HAVING SOME GATEWAY INTO MAKING POINTS IN THE FRONT END AND RECOGNIZING THAT WE NEED THE BEST PLACE FOR A LOT OF OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT MEETING PROFICIENCY IS TO BE IN THE FACE IN THE HANDS. OUR EDUCATORS ARE HIGHLY SKILLED.

SO YES, WE RECOGNIZE WE MAY HAVE STUDENTS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE GPA WHO MAY BE MAKING INTO

THE PROGRAM. >> THAT IS THEIR REASONS THAT WILL EXIST.

>> I'M SURE WE CAN FILL THAT IN. BUT THE BEST PLACE RIGHT NOW DRIVING OUR CHILDREN LEAVING THE I GUESS I DON'T IDENTIFY THAT WE OBJECTION OF SEVEN OUT

OF TEN CHILDREN WILL NOT MEET PROFICIENCY. >> I LIKE THAT THOSE SEVEN KIDS IN SCHOOL WITH AN EDUCATOR AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY FACE TO FACE OUR HISTORIC QUESTION.

>> I CALL THIS QUESTION WHEN I. WHEN WE TO TO CALL THE QUESTION AND END DEBATE.

WE NEED A TWO VOTE SYSTEM UNANIMOUS CONSENT RIGHT. AND WE CONTINUE TO ASK IN FACT BECAUSE ANYBODY OBJECTS TO CALL INTO QUESTION AND THEN THE QUESTION WOULD YOU CALL THE

CALL ON THE QUESTION AND TURN TO GO AND CALL THE VOTE YES. >> YES, I DECIDED ON IT AND ACTUALLY I DO BECAUSE I MEAN AS SHE CALLED IT, I WAS CAUTIOUS. I WOULD THE PERSON WAS MORE I WAS CALLED ON I WOULDN'T I WAS NOT THEN I AM I AND MY QUESTION BUT SO YES I DO OK SO LET'S HAVE A ABOUT TO END DEBATE AS THE THAT'S THE MOTION SO MANY DIFFERENT TEN SECONDS MR. BELL

. >> ALL RIGHT. MAKE A MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION AND DEBATE MR. GEIER SECONDED. SO NOW WE TAKE THAT VOTE THAT

TAKES PRECEDENCE OVER THE MOTION ON THE TABLE WOULD BE. >> YES, IT WAS LATE THE MOTION

[03:00:02]

TWO THIRDS. >> THAT'S DEFINITELY EIGHT OVER ELEVEN RIGHT NOW I'M ONLY JUST PEANUTS PASSES THEN. YES. YEAH I'M SEVENTY TWO PERCENT.

OK, SO YES THE AMENDED DEBATE EIGHT THREE THE THREE NO'S ARE STRIPPING THERE.

DR. WISNIEWSKI MR. SMITH SO NOW WE'LL GO TO THE MOTION ON THE TABLE WHICH WAS THE ONE THAT MR OBEID MAY I SAID VOTING IS NOW OPEN TO THIS KIMBALL ON NO NO NO REASON MY VOTE.

>> THE REASON I AM BECAUSE FIVE SO WHO'S LOSE MAKE THAT DECISION IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS

GETTING INTO BANKING. >> SO THE MOTION IS FOR TO FOUND AND IT'S NINE YESES AND TO THOSE THE TWO THOSE ARE PRO CAMPBELL WILLIAM SMITH. THANK YOU, MR. ADAMS. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. IT'S A LITTLE PAST 9:00 AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY SECOND PUBLIC COMMENTS. WE HAVE A FEW MORE ITEMS ON OUR AGENDA. SO WE OCEAN TO CONTINUE THE MEETING OR WE'LL BE ADJOURNING 950. I KNOW THAT WE GO AHEAD. NO, GO AHEAD.

I LOVE THAT WE CONTINUE THE MEETING TO FINISH WHAT IS ON THE AGENDA.

OK. IZRAEL ONE SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION?

ALTHOUGH I HOPING I'D GET BACK THERE. >> I'M TAKING MY HAND DOWN JUST AS MY MOTHER. YOUR COMMENTS REGARDING CONTINUING THE VEDIC THAT'S A

MOTION ON THE TABLE I THINK YOU TO GO TO IS NOW OPEN. >> YES, YES.

IT SEEMS THE MOTION CARRIES 10 1 TO 1. NOW IS MR. SMITH NEXT AGENDA ITEM IS THE WE NEED A MOTION TO APPROVE RESCHEDULING OUR BUSINESS MEETING OF JUNE 15 20 21 TO JUNE 29 BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY VOTED ON AND APPROVED THE CHANGING GRADUATION DATES WITH ACCOMPANYING RAIN MAKE UPDATES AND THOSE WE WANT WE HAVE OUR BUSINESS MEETINGS ON TUESDAY NIGHTS AND THOSE CONFLICT. WOULD YOU DEFEAT IN JUNE 27? SO THAT IS WHY THE PROPOSED DATE IS TO SAY JUNE 29. WOULD SOMEBODY LIKE TO MAKE THAT MOTION, SIR? MRS. CONTRACEPTIVE AND SAY IT'S NICE TO SEE BOOTS ON THE GROUND ON GOOGLE EARTH LOOKING FRANCIS ? WELL, I THINK THAT I CAN MAKE A

MOTION FOR TWENTY NINE POINT TWENTY NINE. >> THE DEFICIT IS TWENTY NINE.

I'LL MAKE IT CORRECT LATER. OKAY. PLEASE GO AHEAD.

SEE IF I CAN PULL THIS OFF. I BELIEVE THAT THE BEAUFORT LOCATION RESCHEDULE ITS REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING ON JUNE 15 20 21 TO TUESDAY JUNE 20, SEP SEMESTER 2021 DUE TO

GRADUATIONS AND REINVIGORATING ZACHARY 0 7 0 0 0. >> OKATIE SKETCHED OUT A SECOND ABOUT TO THIS THE REGULAR BUSINESS MEETING TUESDAY JUNE 15 20 21 TO TUESDAY JUNE 29 20

21 50 GRADUATIONS AND READINGS THEY GOT IT. >> SO CAN YOU POST THAT? GIVE ME YOUR OK. THERE WE NO HANDS UP SO YOU NEED TO GET A POST TO BEGIN, MR. SMITH. I GUESS MY QUESTION IS SO WHAT IF WHAT IF IT DON'T RAIN IT IN

[03:05:01]

CAN GO AHEAD AND HAVE THE MEETING. >> WELL, THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE AGAIN AND I THINK IT'S LIKELY THAT YOU GIVE A MORE ADVANCED

WARNING TO A CHANGE IN DATE. >> PERSONALLY IT'S MY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY JUNE 29.

YEAH, JUNE 22ND WOULD BE MUCH BETTER BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOOD FOR THE PUBLIC.

SECOND, BUT THAT'S WHY I SAID THAT WE CAN PUT A CONTINUED IS IF THE DATE IS NOT THE DATE IS

GOOD THEN WE CAN USE IT. >> IF THE DATE IS NOT GOOD THEN WE WILL USE THE TWENTY NINTH.

>> THAT'S NOT AN OPTION ON THE TABLE. >> WOW MADAM CHAIR THIS TIME I WILL I WILL NOT I'D LIKE TO AMEND IT. I'M IN THE EMOTION LECTURE.

I'M IN THE MOTION AND HOW TO AMEND THE MOTION THAT THAT IF THE DAY OF THE 15TH IS FINE THEN WE DONE WE WILL STILL MEET ON THE 15TH IF THERE'S EVERY REASON IF THERE'S COMPLICATIONS ON THE 15TH THEN DAY WE WILL USE TWENTY NINE FIFTY IS TAKEN UP BY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION EITHER SAID OTHER WHETHER THERE WAS A RAIN MAKEUP OR A RAIN DAY 20 SECOND IS A RAINY DAY OK.

>> WELL OK WELL ALL ALL ON THE AGENDA WHEN I'M BRINGING THE FRONT OF MY SKULL IN FRONT OF MY SCREEN IT HAS THE 15TH AND I RESPOND TO THIS MY IT'S WELL THERE'S A GUEST TO DISCUSS MR. THIS AMENDMENT. IT NEEDS A SECOND ONE AND THERE'S NO DISCUSSION ABOUT OH SAY IT'S OK NOW IT'S ALL RIGHT. YOU WANTED TO SAY YES. SO I THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS YOU SAID I CAN'T I THINK IT'S MADE RIBAUT HIGH SCHOOL IS SCHEDULED FOR THE 15TH AND THEN THE REASON WE DIDN'T POSTPONE IT JUST A WEEK BACK TO THE TWENTY SECOND IS BECAUSE

THERE'S A POSSIBILITY OF USING THAT AS A RATING. >> SO TO BE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT SAFE THAT YOU KNOW WE WEREN'T GONNA BE AFFECTED BY GRADUATION WE JUST MOVED IT TO THE TWENTY . WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO MOVE IT OFF THE 15TH BECAUSE WE CAN'T AVOID THE SAME TIME OF SCHEDULE GRADUATION BUT THAT'S WHY THEY TAKE THE TWENTY NINTH OF THE

TWENTY SECOND OK. >> RIGHT. SO I SOLD MY QUESTION WAS IF IF IT DIDN'T RAIN THROUGH WE ARE THE 22ND WOULD BE FINE IT WILL BE A FINE DATE IF IT DIDN'T RAIN THAT'S WHY I WAS SAYING IT'S ALL THE SAME KAREN I JUST GOING AND GOING AND USE THE 22ND AND THE TWIN THAT HAS THE ALTERED END DATE IF IT DID RAIN SO THAT WE THE PUBLIC WOULD BE INFORMED THAT IF IT DOESN'T RAIN THAT WE WILL USE YOUR TWIN A TWENTY SECOND ALARM AS THE OFFICIAL DATE BUT IF IT RAIN AND WE WILL USE JUNE 20 KNIFE AS THE ACTUAL DATE THAT'S GIVEN TAMAKI THAT'S ALL I WAS ASKING SO THEN WE'RE GONNA MAKE THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE ON IS THAT WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE BUSINESS MEETING OF JUNE 15TH TO THE TWENTY SEVEN IF IT

DOESN'T RAIN CORRECT? >> YES. DR. JUNE 29 IS COUNTY COUNTY COUNCIL THIRD READING IT'S TUESDAY OF COUNCIL'S THIRD READING ON RIGHT NOW I THINK I TRY AND MAKE MOST I THINK IF I'M JUST IN SHAKES AND KIRST I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A SIMPLE

THAT NEXT TUESDAY INSTEAD OF MONDAY. >> WHAT TIME IS THAT WORK?

>> WE'RE OUT OR VERIFIED BLOWBACK FOR WINTER IN THE WEATHER SORTING THAT WE OPPOSE A TABLE IT ON THE TABLE TEMPORARILY GO TO THE NEXT BANK AND THEN COME BACK TO IT.

>> SIR, PLEASE GET OUR DAYS ALL AROUND SO THAT NEXT TIME I MAKE A MOTION MAYBE I'LL MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE TABLE. HOW FAR THE TWENTY EIGHT COUNTY COUNCIL ON MONDAY THE TWENTY EIGHT YOU MADE THE RIGHT MOTION FOR OTHER. ALL RIGHT SO WE'RE VOTING ON WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN NEAR US SO WE'RE CHANGING A METHOD TO CHANGE THE REALLY GATE FROM THE 15TH TO THE TWENTY SEVEN IF IT DOESN'T. SO AS VOTING OPEN

[03:10:25]

>> OH OK. THE AMENDED MOTION FAILS FOR SEVEN.

FOUR YESES CAN YOU SCROLL OR MR STEWART EXCUSE ME SHOULD THE SEVEN NO'S?

>> BECAUSE THAT'S THE PREVAILING SIDE. THE SEVEN THOSE ARE EARL CAMPBELL CHRISTINE ONCE DAVID STRIP INJURE TRICIA FED WHICH KEEP SWELLING RICHARD GEIGER DID YOU BUY INTO TEMPT ANGELA MIDDLETON ANGERED ABOUT BALGO TO EMBRACE MOTION AND NO MOTIONS? ONCE I HAVE THIS NO NO IT'S A TWENTY NINE.
