SO NOW WE ARE ON TO THE WORK OF TODAY'S MEETING, UM, ADMINISTER TRADE REGULATION, S S R THREE ASSIGNMENT OF STUDENTS TO SCHOOLS.
STRATUS, DO YOU WANT TO GET YOUR TEAM TO, UH, PICK UP, PICK IT UP? YES.
IF I COULD TAKE A MOMENT, JUST INTERVIEW, INTRODUCE A FEW OF THE MEMBERS FROM OUR TEAM HERE.
WHO'VE WORKED DILIGENTLY ACTUALLY AT WE FINDING THE ADMINISTRATIVE REG WITH STUDENT SERVICES, SS THREE, I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE DR.
WE HAVE MRS. SWINTON, CAROL CRUTCHFIELD, UM, FACILITIES AND OPERATIONS ON THE ROBERT, UM, ADDING SHOP.
WE HAVE BRETT FRITZ AT OUR DATA SPECIALIST SHOP, AND WE HAVE JENNY WHO ACTUALLY WORKS IN TANDEM WITH OUR CHOICE PROGRAM AND LETTERS FOR APPROVAL OR APPEALS.
SO AT THIS POINT I WILL PRINT A PRESENTATION WORK OVER TO DR.
WE'RE HERE TODAY TO PRESENT TO YOU.
UM, SS THREE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION, SS THREE ASSIGNMENTS OF STUDENTS TO SCHOOLS.
AND, UM, IN THIS PRESENTATION, I WANT TO START BY SAYING THAT IT WASN'T A ONE MAN SHOW THAT IT WAS A TEAM EFFORT, WHICH WE'RE REPRESENTED TODAY.
AND I AM GOING TO START OUR PRESENTATION WITH BRETT FRITZ AND THEN WE'LL MOVE INTO, UM, OUR UPDATES AND EDITS GOOD AFTERNOON AND, UH, HAPPY WEDNESDAY.
UM, WE FELT IT WAS IMPORTANT TO START WITH A LITTLE, UH, HISTORY BEHIND,
[00:05:01]
I'LL SAY THE PROGRESSION OF, UH, STUDENT SERVICES, UH, THREE THAT, UH, ASSIGNMENT OF STUDENTS.SO SCHOOLS, UM, BACK AT THE, UM, COMPLETION OF THE 2017 18 SCHOOL YEAR WHEN, UM, THE ACTUAL STUDENT SERVICES DEPARTMENT WAS KIND OF, UM, RE UH, DIRECTED AND, UH, KIND OF, UH, THE WORK WAS REALLOCATED AMONGST OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
UM, A LOT LARGE PORTION OF THE SCHOOL CHOICE OF KING TO, UH, INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES, UH, WITH, UH, DR.
CAMPBELL HEADING UP THE, UM, SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE AND WORKING WITH NIKIA ON THE HEALTH HARDSHIP, UH, OR IN WORKING WITH, UH, KIKI SWINTON, MS. SWINTON ON THE, UH, HEALTH HARDSHIP, UM, AND DANIEL FALLON, UM, AND DATA SERVICES INHERITED THE, UH, PROGRAMMATIC NON PROGRAMMATIC AND EMPLOYEE COURTESY OPTIONS.
UM, SO, UM, ONCE WE STARTED THAT, SO THIS IS KIND OF THE THIRD A YEAR THAT WE'VE GONE THROUGH THIS, UH, THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS, UH, IN GOING THROUGH, UH, SS THREE, WE'VE IDENTIFIED SOME POTENTIAL ISSUES AND REVISIONS THAT WERE NEEDED.
UM, SOME OF WHICH WERE ACTUALLY, UH, READ TO THE BOARD OF EDUCATION ON APRIL 2ND, 2019.
UH, SOME OF THESE REVISIONS, UH, MADE IT IN TO THE, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS THAT WERE CAPTURED ONLINE.
AND SOMEHOW SOME OF THEM WERE NOT.
SO SOME OF THE CHANGES WE'RE DISCUSSING HERE REALLY AREN'T CHANGES.
THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN RENTED THE BOARD BEFORE.
UM, WE'VE JUST ESTABLISHED THAT, YOU KNOW, WHERE THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE UPDATED IN THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT.
SO MOST OF THE ISSUES THAT WE DEALT WITH IS WHEN WE RECEIVED SS THREE, THERE WAS A HARD CAP OF 98% CAPACITY WHERE, UH, STUDENTS, UM, COULD NOT BE PLACED INTO A SCHOOL THAT IS AT 98% OF ITS DEFINED CAPACITY BY FACILITIES.
SO THIS MEANS SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
UM, AND AT THE TIME WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT, RIVER RIDGE WAS, UH, GOING THROUGH TRANSITION WHERE THEY WERE GETTING A NEW PRINCIPAL AND BECAUSE OF THE CAPACITY OF RIVER RIDGE, UH, WE IDENTIFIED TECHNICALLY ACCORDING TO THE WAY THAT WE HAD THE RULES WRITTEN, THE PRINCIPAL, WHOEVER WE HIRED WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BRING EVEN THEIR OWN CHILDREN THERE.
UM, WE ALSO FOR KIDS HAVE BEEN, UM, APPROVED, BUT THEN THEIR SIBLINGS COULDN'T COME.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE WENT THROUGH, IDENTIFIED SOME OF THE CHANGES.
AND THOSE WERE THE ONES THAT WERE READ ON APRIL 2ND, 2019.
UM, SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE'RE GOING TO KIND OF GO THROUGH AND, UH, DISCUSS SOME OF THE CHANGES, KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING THEM BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRY TO READ THE DOCUMENT, UH, IT'S, IT'S A RATHER LENGTHY DOCUMENT.
AND, UH, WE WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT AND KIND OF POINT OUT WHERE WE'VE MADE THE CHANGES AND WHY WE MADE THE CHANGES AND HOW THE, UH, BETTER SUPPORT THE SCHOOLS AS WELL AS THE FAMILIES.
SO THE PURPOSE AGAIN, FOR THIS ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION IS TO ESTABLISH THE BASIC STRUCTURE FOR ASSIGNMENT, FOR STUDENTS AND BUFORD COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND I WANT TO CONTINUE BY SAYING THAT THE SPIRIT OF THE EDITS AND UPDATES WAS REALLY TO KEEP IN MIND THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR STUDENTS, NO MATTER WHAT SCHOOL THEY ATTEND.
WE WANT TO THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE CHILD WHEN MAKING DECISIONS EITHER TO REMAIN AT A SCHOOL OR TO GO BACK TO THE HOMESCHOOL.
WE ALSO, IN, IN THAT, UM, SAME VEIN, I W WE WANTED TO HAVE MORE OF A COLLECTIVE DECISION-MAKING RATHER THAN ONE PERSON MAKING A DECISION ABOUT STUDENTS.
SO YOU'LL SEE SOME OF THE EDITS, UM, ARE UPDATES THAT WE MADE TO THE AR WILL INVOLVE HAVING A COMMITTEE OR MAKING A RECOMMENDATION UP TO OUR SENIOR STAFF.
AND SO WE WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT.
SO THE PROCESS STARTED WITH A DISTRICT TEAM DISCUSSING THE POSSIBLE CHANGES.
MANY OF THOSE TEAM MEMBERS ARE ON OUR ZOOM CALL TODAY WITH ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY SERVE.
UM, WE FELT LIKE WE WERE A FAMILY.
WE REVIEWED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE, UM, REGULATION SS THREE.
AND WITH THAT, WE MADE OUR ADJUSTMENTS AND CHANGES AND THEN SUBMITTED THAT TO LEGAL FOR ADDITIONAL REVIEW, AND THEN LEGAL THEN GAVE US THE EDITS.
AND THEN WE SUBMITTED THAT TO THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE.
SO I WANTED TO REALLY EMPHASIZE THAT THIS WAS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT ON, UM, FROM INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES TO HR, UM, LEGAL, UM, WE ALL PARTICIPATED AND PROVIDED OUR, UM, FEEDBACK TO THIS ADMISSION, RIGHT?
[00:10:02]
SO WHAT LET'S TALK ABOUT TODAY ARE THE, THE BOLTS OF THE EDITS, NOT THE GRAMMATICAL PIECES, BUT JUST MADE THE MAJOR CHANGES TO WHAT WE'RE PRESENTING TODAY.SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE DOCUMENT, SO THERE'S THE MARKUP DOCUMENT THAT YOU HAVE, AND THEN THERE'S THE FINAL DOCUMENT.
AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS THOSE DOCUMENTS AS WE GO THROUGH.
SO THE FIRST ONE TALKS ABOUT THE GUIDELINES, WHICH IS IN SECTION FOUR, AND IT SAYS GUIDELINES.
AND THE CHANGE THERE IS THAT, UM, WE WANTED TO BUILD IN THE MULTI-TIERED SYSTEM OF SUPPORT.
SO WHEN WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT STUDENTS BEING REMOVED FROM A SCHOOL TO THEIR HOMESCHOOL, WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT THAT PROCESS WAS TAKING INTO EFFECT BEFORE WE MOVED CHILDREN.
AND SO THE OLD LANGUAGE IN THIS ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE THREE INDICATORS THAT WE LOOK AT FOR REMOVAL OF OUR STUDENT FOR SCHOOL CHOICE OR A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE.
AND THOSE INDICATORS ARE ATTENDANCE, DISCIPLINE, AND GRADES.
SO WE DIDN'T WANT TO SET A STUDENT UP, YOU GET A FAILING GRADE, OR YOU HAVE A DISCIPLINE ISSUE, AND THEN YOU GO BACK TO YOUR HOME SCHOOL, BUT WHAT IS THAT RECEIVING SCHOOL DOING TO, UM, ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE PROPER INTERVENTIONS IN PLACE FOR STUDENTS PRIOR TO THEM GOING OR GOING TO THEIR HOMESCHOOL? SO IT'S, IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY, NO MATTER WHERE OUR STUDENTS ARE TO ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE GIVING THE SAME ACCESS TO INTERVENTIONS, IF THEY WERE A SCHOOL CHOICE, SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE, OR IF THERE'S ZONE.
SO IT'S IN, IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REG, THE PORTION IS THE EXPECTATION, UM, OR EXPECTATIONS.
THIS IS IN SECTION 14 EXPECTATIONS.
WHAT WE ARE SUGGESTING OR AN UPDATE IS THAT WE HAVE A SCHOOL CHOICE COMMITTEE.
AT ONE POINT, THERE WAS THE SUPERINTENDENT'S DESIGNEE MADE THAT DECISION.
WE WANTED A MORE COLLECTIVE DECISION.
SO WE HAVE A TEAM OF PEOPLE THAT WILL SIT AROUND AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO THE SUPERINTENDENTS, UM, DESIGNEE.
AND SO THAT PART WAS ALSO ADDED IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE RICK, YOU CAN CONTINUE ROBIN.
SO THE NEXT IS THE SECTION EIGHT, WHICH HAS HELD HARDSHIP.
AND IN THAT, UM, AGAIN, THE DESIGNEE WAS MAKING THE DECISION TO EITHER APPROVE OR DENY.
SO WE WANTED TO HAVE, UM, A COMMITTEE OF EXPERTS THAT COULD LOOK AT THE HEALTH HARDSHIP TO DETERMINE IF, UM, WE WILL ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION OR, UM, UM, FROM THE PARENTS.
SO BASICALLY THE LANGUAGE HERE, IT SAYS THAT THE BUFORD COUNTY DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES LEADS PSYCHOLOGIST, LEAD COUNSELOR, LEAD NURSE, SOCIAL WORKER, UM, AS WELL AS DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES WILL REVIEW AND MAKE A RECOMMENDATION AS TO WHETHER TO GRANT THE REQUEST TO TRANSFER BASED ON THE HEALTH HARDSHIPS.
SO AGAIN, NOT JUST ONE PERSON MAKING THE DECISION, BUT HAVING MORE EYES AND, UM, PROVIDING THAT INFORMATION TO THE CHIEF, UM, INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES OFFICER, OUR DESIGNEE.
THE OTHER SECTION OF THAT IS THAT, UM, WE DO RECEIVE HEALTH HARDSHIPS AND, UM, A LOT OF TIMES ACCOMPANY WITH THAT REQUEST IS MEDICAL DOCUMENTS.
SO WE WANTED TO PROTECT THE DISTRICT IN THAT WE WILL RESERVE THE RIGHTS TO THAT, TO, UM, SOLICIT OR GAIN AN, A SECOND OPINION REGARDING THE STUDENT'S MEDICAL, PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH, REGARDING THE REASONS WHY THEY ARE APPLYING FOR THE HEALTH HEART.
AT THIS POINT, I'LL GO OVER SOME OF THE EMPLOYEE PREFERENCE WHERE EMPLOYEE COURTESY A LANGUAGE THAT WAS KIND OF EDITED.
SO IN THIS CASE, UM, YOU SEE, WE'VE HIGHLIGHTED A COUPLE THINGS.
THIS IS THE PRIOR CONTENTS OF WHAT WAS, UH, OUT IN SS THREE.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE WHERE A PORTION OF THE EDITS MADE FROM APRIL 2ND, 2019, MADE IT IN.
SO, AS YOU CAN SEE IN, IN, UH, IN NUMBER NINE, EMPLOYEE PREFERENCE, IT DISCUSSES AND I'LL KIND OF HIGHLIGHT THE BIG PART IS, UM, IT SAYS THAT THEY, UH, UH, EMPLOYEE MUST PASS IN ROUTE, UM,
[00:15:01]
ON THEIR WAY TO WORK THE SCHOOL THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THEIR SCHOOL, UH, THEIR STUDENT TO ATTEND.UM, AND YOU CAN SEE DOWN BELOW WHEN IT'S TALKING ABOUT SCHOOL CAPACITY GUIDELINES, WE LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, HOW YOU CAN GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THAT.
UM, SO IT KIND OF CONFLICTED THERE, BUT THE REASON THAT THAT WAS CHANGED WAS IT WAS IDENTIFIED THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY, UH, MAKING IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES TO, UH, CHOICE THEIR STUDENTS INTO A SCHOOL THAT WE DON'T DO FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC.
SO WE STARTED SEEING SOME EMPLOYEES INSTEAD OF USING EMPLOYEE COURTESY OR EMPLOYEE PREFERENCE, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY GO THROUGH AND USE THE GENERAL SCHOOL CHOICE, UM, KIND OF GETTING RID OF THE ABILITY FOR THEM TO KIND OF BE ABLE TO SELECT WHICH SCHOOL.
SO IT DOESN'T, WE REMOVE THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO PASS ON THE WAY THERE BECAUSE SOMETIMES, UM, YOU KNOW, IF THEY HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, THEY MAY DRIVE THEMSELVES OR THEIR SPOUSE MAY BE, UH, IT MIGHT BE RIGHT BY WHERE THEY WORK.
SO THAT WAS JUST, UH, TO IMPROVE, UH, FOR OUR EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM THE SAME OPTIONS THAT WE WERE GIVING, UM, UH, THE GENERAL PUBLIC, ALL RIGHT, THE UPDATE IN DOC, THIS IS KIND OF WHAT WAS, UM, UPDATED WITH IN THE CURRENT.
UH, SO YOU'RE STILL WORKING WITH THE SAME NINE AND 11.
UH, IF YOU'LL NOTICE IN THE, UH, NUMBER NINE, WE'VE REMOVED THE, THE KIND OF GUIDELINES FOR, YOU KNOW, WHERE YOU MUST GO.
UM, BUT WE DID, UH, MAKE SURE THAT WE KEPT IN THE SCHOOL CAPACITY GUIDELINES.
IF A SCHOOL HITS THAT 98% THRESHOLD, THERE IS WHAT, WHAT WE KIND OF REFER TO AS A LIMITED EMPLOYEE, UH, PREFERENCE THAT'S THERE.
SO IN THAT CASE, UM, IT, IT'S STILL THERE THAT, UM, IF THAT SCHOOL'S OVER 98%, UH, THE, UH, PARENT MUST EITHER WORK AT THAT SCHOOL.
THEY MUST HAVE A STUDENT THAT WAS ALREADY APPROVED AT THAT SCHOOL, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO KEEP THEIR SIBLING WITH THEM, OR IT'S THE CLOSEST, UH, SCHOOL THAT OFFERS THAT GRADE CONFIGURATION TO WHERE THEY WORK.
A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT IS, UM, BOTH HILTON HEAD, MIDDLE AND HILTON HEAD HIGH ARE BOTH OVER CAPACITY.
UH, SO THIS WOULD ALLOW A, UH, TEACHER AT HILTON HEAD ECC, HILTON HEAD EARLY, UM, OR, UM, ELEMENTARY OR HILTON HEAD, UH, SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE ARTS.
THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO KEEP THEIR KIDS AT HILTON HEAD AND BE ABLE TO GO TO HILTON HEAD MIDDLE HILTON, HEAD HIGH.
SO THAT'S WHERE THAT COMES INTO PLAY THE NEXT, UM, WHAT IT ON THIS IS JUST KIND OF BULLET POINTS OF WHAT IT, UH, ADDRESSED.
SO AGAIN, IT UPDATES THE, UM, YOU KNOW, THE PARTIAL INCLUSION, UM, FROM APRIL 2ND, 2019, UH, GOT RID OF THE LIMITATIONS, UM, FOR, FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND THEN GOT RID OF THE, UH, WHERE ONE PART SAID THAT YOU HAD TO PASS IT THE OTHER DIDN'T.
SO THE NEXT ONE IS THE REVISED POST DEADLINE APPLICATION.
SO IN THE CURRENT FORM, UM, THE, THE, HOW IT WAS STATED WAS IF A PARENT MOVED, UH, INTO THE DISTRICT OR, UM, WITHIN THE DISTRICT.
SO THIS IS ANY GENERAL PUBLIC, UH, RESIDENTS OF BEAVER COUNTY THAT MISSED THAT OPEN DEADLINE.
UM, OF IN THIS CASE, IT WAS MARCH 31ST.
THEY COULD APPLY UP UNTIL JULY 31ST.
UH, IF THEY MOVED, LET'S SAY THEY MOVED TO ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD ACROSS THE STREET, BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT SCHOOL ZONE.
THEY COULD APPLY TO TRY TO STAY AT THEIR CURRENT SCHOOL.
SO THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE CASE, BUT WHAT WE QUICKLY LEARNED WAS THAT JULY 31ST CUTOFF, A LOT OF TIMES CAUGHT A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS, ESPECIALLY MILITARY, UH, PARENTS, WHERE THEY MIGHT BE MOVING IN SOMEWHERE JUST AT THE FIRST PART OF AUGUST.
SO THERE WAS KIND OF THIS DEAD TIME WHERE BETWEEN JULY 31ST AND THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP A KID AT A SCHOOL UNLESS THEY WENT AND DID A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE APPLICATION, WHICH IS KIND OF, UH, YOU KNOW, NOT NECESSARY, UH, FOR WHAT WE REALLY WANT TO DO.
SO IF WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE, THE REVISION THAT WE DID SAID AFTER THE DEADLINE, UM, BUT NOT BEFORE THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, THEY COULD, UH, MAKE A CHOICE TRANSFER REQUESTS.
SO IN THIS CASE, UM, IF YOU HAVE SOMEONE THAT MOVES THAT FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST, AND, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE, THEY'VE ALWAYS GONE TO THAT SCHOOL.
UM, THEY JUST MOVED DOWN THE ROAD.
THEY'RE STILL WITHIN THE COUNTY.
THIS WOULD ENABLE THEM TO, UH, APPLY TO STAY AS LONG AS CAPACITY GUIDELINES, UH, YOU KNOW, WERE MET AND THAT THEY COULD DO THAT.
SO IN THIS CASE, IT GIVES US MORE OPPORTUNITIES.
SO, AND THEN THE NEXT SLIDE, I JUST KIND OF BULLET POINTED WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT THERE.
IT GIVES MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO REMAIN AT SCHOOL, UH, THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO IT REMOVED THAT PERIOD OF TIME WHERE PEOPLE DIDN'T,
[00:20:01]
THAT FELT LIKE THEY KIND OF STUCK THERE.IF THEY MOVED A WEEK EARLIER, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN FINE.
AND WE ALSO SEE THIS WILL, UH, DECREASE THE NUMBER OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE APPLICATIONS THAT DR.
CAMPBELL WILL RECEIVE, UH, YOU KNOW, FOR ONCE JUST MAKE SENSE FOR STUDENTS.
I WAS GOING TO SAY AT THIS POINT, I KNOW DR.
CAMPBELL AND I WANTED TO BE, UH, ABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
I KNOW SCHOOL CHOICE IS A VERY POPULAR, UH, UH, TOPIC, ESPECIALLY NOW, UH, GOING INTO NEXT YEAR.
SO, UH, WERE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON WHY WE MADE REVISIONS OR, UH, ANYTHING IN GENERAL AROUND, UM, SS THREE? UM, I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.
MY, UM, OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS JUST SPEAK OUT IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, BECAUSE IT'S HARD FOR ME TO REALLY CAN'T SEE THE HAND SO WELL, OR JUST PUT YOUR HAND UP LIKE THAT, THAT, THAT WORKS BETTER FOR ME.
UM, SO, UM, UH, 10 AND 14 EXPECTATIONS.
I DON'T THINK YOU, YOU WENT OVER ANY OF THE CHANGES ON THAT WERE IN A BULLET POINT 14.
THAT'S GOING TO SAY IF WE CAN SCROLL UP TO 14, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ONE THAT DR.
UM, LET'S SEE HERE EXPECTATIONS.
I TALKED ABOUT THE EXPECTATIONS THAT WE WERE GOING TO, UM, LOOK AT HAVING THE SCHOOL CHOICE COMMITTEE RATHER THAN JUST THE DESIGNEE.
THAT WAS THE MAIN PART OF THAT PORTION OF IT.
BECAUSE IT HAS, I SAW IT IF WE GO TO LETTER D ON THE FORM, THAT'S THE CUT UP FORM.
UM, IT SAYS PRINCIPALS MUST NOTIFY THE COMMITTEE IN WRITING BY MAY 1ST, IF A STUDENT IS BEING RECOMMENDED FOR REASSIGNMENT TO HIS OR HER HOMESCHOOL FOR THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR.
SO IT'S, IT'S RECOMMENDED TO THE COMMITTEE.
THE COMMITTEE IS GOING TO LOOK AT IT AND THE PARENTS AREN'T NOTIFIED UNTIL AFTER THE COMMITTEE LOOKS AT IT.
AND I'M WONDERING IF WE SHOULD, AT THE PARENTS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED.
ARE YOU THINKING THAT, EXPLAIN THAT TO ME, TO ME, IT WOULD CURRENTLY THE PRINCIPALS HAVE NOTIFY THE PARENTS RIGHT.
WITHOUT HAVING IT COME TO THE DISTRICT.
AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO NOT MAKE IT SUBJECTIVE, BUT, YOU KNOW, OBJECTIVE DECISION WHY A STUDENT SHOULD STAY.
SO THAT RECOMMENDATION COMES TO US.
WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, THE NECESSARY COMMITTEE MEMBERS REVIEW THE RE YOU KNOW, THE RATIONALE BEHIND HAVING THE KID LEAVE THE SCHOOL, UM, GOING BACK TO THEIR HOMESCHOOL AND THEN NOTIFYING THE PARENT.
SO THAT WAS THE RATIONALE, RATHER THAN JUST HAVING THE PRINCIPAL MAKE A DECISION THAT THE KID GOES BACK.
LET'S JUST LOOK AT ALL FACTORS, DID THE PRINCIPAL, YOU KNOW, EXECUTE, UM, ALL OF THE NECESSARY, UM, INTERVENTIONS, MTSS PROCESS, EVERYTHING WE'RE LOOKING AT, ALL THOSE DOCUMENTS BEFORE WE JUST SEND A KID BACK.
BUT WHAT I THINK IS MISSING IS I'M THE PARENT AND MY KIDS AT YOUR SCHOOL.
AND UNKNOWN TO ME, HE'S BEING LOOKED AT TO BE SENT BACK.
HE'S GOT HIS, INFORMATION'S GOING TO A COMMITTEE.
SO TO ME, I THINK THAT THE PARENTS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED THAT THERE'S SOME CONCERN ABOUT YOUR CHILD STAYING HERE, BUT WE HAVE A PROCESS FOR THAT, AND WE'RE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION TO THE COMMITTEE, RIGHT? SO THERE IS, SO WITH THOSE THREE INDICATORS, ATTENDANCE, DISCIPLINE, AND GRADES, WE HAVE A PROCESS IN PLACE FOR ALL STUDENTS WITHIN OUR DISTRICT WHERE PARENTS HAVE TO BE NOTIFIED.
SO IF A KID FAILS, WE HAVE TO NOTIFY A PARENT.
YOU KNOW, I, I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS JUST THAT WE WERE JUST TRYING TO ADD THE ADDITIONAL LAYER BEFORE WE'RE MAKING IMPULSIVE DECISIONS ABOUT MOVING KIDS.
I JUST AM A LITTLE BIT CONCERNED ABOUT LEAVING THE PARENTS OUT OF THAT, THAT TO CAMPBELL BY MAY MAKE A RECOMMENDATION IN ALPHA D PRINCIPAL MUST NOTIFY PARENT OF STUDENT BEING REVIEWED OKAY.
AND SO THE FINAL DECISION, ISN'T THE PRINCIPAL, IT'S JUST THAT WE'RE NOTIFYING THE PARENT.
[00:25:01]
RIGHT.AND I MIGHT REALLY WANT TO FEEL THAT WAY, BUT TO ME, YEAH.
I, I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
THE PARENT NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THERE'S A POSSIBILITY.
UH, AND, AND I'LL, I'LL ADD WITH THE, THE THREE ELEMENTS THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT, THE ACADEMICS, THE, UH, DISCIPLINE AND ATTENDANCE.
UM, THERE'S ACTUALLY THROUGH MTSS.
AND OTHER MEANS THAT WE HAVE THROUGH PARENT PORTAL AND GREG CARDS GOING HOME, UM, THE PARENTS KIND OF KEPT IN THE LOOP ALREADY WITH THIS INFORMATION WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE LETTERS, UH, FROM US AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR THIS.
AND IT'S TOLD BEFORE THEY EVEN APPLY THAT THE, THE ESTABLISHED, UH, UM, GUIDELINES THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE HELD TO, UH, LIKE FOR EXAMPLE, IF A STUDENT, UH, MISSED A SPREE FIVE OR 10 DAYS, UH, PROCESS, UH, WHERE THE PARENTS NOTIFIED ABOUT THAT, UM, THEIR, UH, THE GRADES THAT THEY GET THE MULTIPLE, UH, UPDATES THERE.
SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
REALLY, THE ONLY THING THAT'S NOT THERE, AND THEY WOULD KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPENSIONS, BUT LIKE, IS THE DISCIPLINE, UH, BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY IN THE PARENT PORTAL FOR THEM TO KNOW A DISCIPLINE THAT THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT POWERSCHOOL PUTS OUT THERE.
SO WE DO KEEP THE PARENTS IN THE LOOP THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
AND SO DID THE, UH, THE PRINCIPALS, UM, IT'S, WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, UM, A STUDENT THAT WAS, UH, WE'LL SAY A SCHOOL CHOICE STUDENT, WASN'T TREATED DIFFERENTLY THAN SOMEONE ZONED THERE, BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A KID THAT HAS ATTENDANCE OR DISCIPLINE ISSUES, UM, NO MATTER WHAT THEY SHOULD BE GOING THROUGH THE MTSS AND LOOKED AT HOW TO HELP THEM, NOT JUST REMOVE THEM FROM YOUR SCHOOL AND PUT THEM BACK TO THEIR HOME SCHOOL.
I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO IS GOING TO BE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT'LL BE ONE QUESTION, YOU KNOW, WELL, MY CHILD IS BEING RECOMMENDED TO THIS COMMITTEE.
SO THE COMMITTEE, UM, INVOLVES MYSELF, BRETT FRITZ JANINA, UM, MS. SWINTON, UM, DR.
BRADLEY MAY CHALK, AM I MISSING SOMEONE? NO.
UM, REPRESENTATIVE FROM STUDENT WITH DISABILITIES.
UH, YOU KNOW THAT DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PRINCIPAL GOING TO THE COMMITTEE? I, I DON'T SEE.
I DON'T SEE WHY THAT COULD GO EITHER WAY.
UH, TELL HER THE DECISION IS MADE.
PARENTS MIGHT HAVE TO BE KEPT IN A LOOP IN MY MIND.
I MEAN, WE'RE GONNA MAKE THAT DECISION THEN WE'RE GONNA, DON'T LET THE PARENT KNOW THEY ALREADY LIKE, UH, UH, MR. FRED SAID THEY ALREADY HAVE INDICATORS TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THAT CHILD SHOULD BE IN THE, IN THE DISCUSSION OF BEING RETURNED.
BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, THE PRINCIPAL NOW FROM MY MIND SAID, WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, THE PRINCIPAL NOW IS NOT MAKING THAT DECISION ALONE DECISION IS MADE BY A COMMITTEE.
AND, AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE, THAT'S THE IMPORTANT PART OF THIS REG THAT, THAT WE NEED TO AGREE TO DISAGREE WITH THEM, MAKE SOME SUGGESTIONS OF IMPROVEMENT.
BUT YEAH, THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE A COMMITTEE MAY SET UP FARAH, FARAH DEAL ALL INVOLVED.
UM, I GUESS I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PARENTS, THE DOTS HAVE BEEN CONNECTED FOR PARENTS.
I, I, YOU KNOW, I, I JUST KNOW THAT THINGS HAPPEN AND YOU TELL THE PARENTS WILL OBVIOUS WAS THERE.
THESE WERE, AND THEY WERE LIKE, BUT YOU NEVER TOLD ME.
SO THAT'S JUST ALL I WAS THINKING.
BUT MAN, YOU DON'T WANT TO GET THEM ALONG TO FOR NO UNNECESSARY REASON.
I, AIN'T GOING TO LOOK THAT A PRINCIPAL SAYS, HEY, IF YOU, YOUR CHILD IS GOING TO A COMMUNITY OUT, A PARENT WANTS TO KNOW SAME THINGS.
YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO ON THE COMMITTEE, WHAT KIND OF CHANCE DOES MY CHILD OUT WHEN THE COMMITTEE IS A PROCESS THAT'S GOING TO BE THERE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE PRINCIPAL SAYS SAYS IT OR NOT, THE COMMITTEE IS A PROCESS THAT THAT'S GOTTA BE BETTER THAN BEFORE THE CHILD IS YOU IMPACTED.
SO I, YEAH, I KNOW THAT'S SIX AND A HALF A DOZEN.
[00:30:01]
AS MRS. MIDDLETON PUT FORWARD, MAYBE THE FINE, THE MAKEUP OF THE COMMITTEE, BECAUSE THAT QUESTION WILL COME UP AND WE DID IT IN ANOTHER PART OF THAT REALLY ARE PART OF THE AI IN THE HEALTH HARDSHIP.SO IN THE HEALTH HARDSHIP, AND I THINK WE LIVE OLD LANGUAGE, UM, THE BCSC DIRECTOR OF STUDENT SERVICES, HASN'T BEEN REESTABLISHED, UM, AS A POSITION FOR THE DISTRICT.
SO I WOULD JUST BE CAREFUL WITH UTILIZING THAT LANGUAGE.
SO WHEN THIS RECOMMENDATION YOU'RE RIGHT, DR.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S LANGUAGE THAT WAS LEFT.
SO I THINK WE, I WOULD WIND THAT OUT.
PLEASE TELL US HOW TO PROCEED WITH THAT, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T WANT TO PUT RIGHT NOW AND, AND OTHER IDENTIFIED, UM, MEM YOU KNOW, MEMBERS, I WOULD LEAVE IT JUST, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE IT NEBULOUS THAT, BECAUSE WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT TITLE SHIP.
I BELIEVE IT WAS IN THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT AND YOU KIND OF REARRANGED THE LANGUAGE.
SO I WOULD JUST SAY BCSD PERSONNEL BAPAPAPAPA IDENTITY ITERATION.
SO NOT TO LIST LIKE THE LEAD PSYCHOLOGISTS DON'T LIST THEM.
I WOULD SAY REPRESENTATIVE OF, UH, BCSD PERSONNEL.
CONSISTING, UH, YOU KNOW, AT A MINIMUM, YOU KNOW, A STUDENT WITH DISABILITY, UM, REPRESENTATIVE OF MULTILINGUAL.
THAT'S JUST A CHANGE THAT I, I DO THINK WE NEED TO CONSIDER BECAUSE IT'S, IT'S NOT AN ESTABLISHED POSITION AT THIS TIME.
THAT, BECAUSE THEY'LL WANT TO POINT TO THAT PERSON AND THAT PERSON DOESN'T EXIST.
AND I KNOW THEY REWORDED WHAT WAS THERE, RIGHT.
AND I SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT, BUT I, I JUST CAUGHT IT AT HEARING AND I LOVE THE, MENTION IT AS BRETT DID ON THE MILITARY TRANSFER TO HOW THAT IS NOW COVERED, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR DESIGNATION, YOU KNOW, AS THE PURPLE SET AT IS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE THAT CONSIDERATION LENS RIGHT NOW WITHIN THIS AR YEAH.
WE WE'RE TRYING TO BE INCLUSIVE.
AND I THINK WITH THE SLIDES, DR.
CAMPBELL, SHOULD WE GO FORWARD? JUST WE'RE OFF HONOR ITERATION.
WE WENT FROM ONE ROMAN NUMERAL, LET'S SAY 11 BACK TO ROMAN NUMERAL EIGHT.
I DON'T MEAN TO BE PICKY AND I APOLOGIZE.
NO, I'LL CLEAN IT UP BEFORE BOARD COM ACADEMIC COMMITTEE SAID, I SHOULD HAVE CAUGHT IT ALREADY ALL OFF TOPIC QUESTION.
DO WE HAVE STRANGERS OR NUMBERS ON SEATS AVAILABLE FOR NO RIGHT PERSON MS. CRUTCHFIELD? SHE'S ON THAT'S BECAUSE AL I THINK BRETT AND I CAN TRY TO TACKLE THIS ONE, CAUSE THIS IS, THIS IS KIND OF WHERE I COME INTO THE CONVERSATION SOMETIMES RIGHT NOW, I THINK OUR PROCEDURE, PLEASE, BRETT, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG IS WHAT, WHAT WE PUBLISH AS BUILDING CAPACITY.
MR. CAMPBELL IS USED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUILDING CAPACITY AND THE, UH, ENROLLMENT FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR.
SO THAT MEANS THERE WERE, YOU KNOW, UH, LET'S SAY A HUNDRED EXTRA SEATS, THE DIFFERENCE WAS A HUNDRED.
THEN, THEN THAT GAVE THEM THAT DETERMINATION OF WHAT THAT PERCENT CAPACITY WAS AND HOW MUCH, HOW MANY STUDENTS THEY COULD ALLOW IN THROUGH THE CHOICE OPTIONS.
ALL OF THEM IS THAT THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.
AND IT'S ACTUALLY, UH, THERE'S A COUPLE OF TIERS THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT HERE.
SO YOU HAVE, WHAT I'LL SAY IS THE BUILDING CAPACITY AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE PART THAT, UH, UH, CAROL AND HER TEAM HELPS US OUT WITH SO MUCH.
UM, BUT THEN THERE'S ALSO THE PROGRAM CAPACITY WITHIN A SCHOOL.
THAT'S WHERE I HAVE A QUESTION.
SO THAT'S WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK WITH EACH BUILDING AND, AND THEIR ADMINISTRATION TO ESTABLISH WHAT'S THERE BECAUSE SOME OF THE, UH, THE SCHOOLS, I MEAN, YOU, YOU HAVE LIKE AMES MONTESSORI AND THE DUAL LANGUAGE OPTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE.
[00:35:01]
UM, THE CAPACITY OF THE ACTUAL PROGRAM THERE.AND YOU ALSO ARE LIMITED TO, UH, THE, WHEN THEY COME IN.
SO SOME OF LIKE THE DUAL LANGUAGE PROGRAMS, YOU COULDN'T JUST GO IN AND A DUAL LANGUAGE JUST IN LIKE THE LAST YEAR, LIKE EIGHTH GRADE, THE KID WOULD BE BEHIND.
THERE ARE CERTAIN GRADE LEVELS THAT THEY GO IN.
SO WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK WITH EACH BUILDING, UM, ON THOSE PROGRAMS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF WHAT'S THERE AND GO THROUGH, UM, YOU KNOW, ANY SORT OF LIMITATIONS THAT WE MIGHT, UH, MEET.
SO THEN I KNOW THAT CAN CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR.
WELL, LIKE, ESPECIALLY DUAL LANGUAGE, IF THEY'RE HAVING DIFFICULTY, YOU KNOW, HIRING ENOUGH TEACHERS WHO SPEAK CHINESE, THEN YOU KNOW, THEY MAY DROP FROM SERVING 60 KIDS TO 45.
SO NOW YOU'VE DROPPED THE CAPACITY OF THAT PROGRAM.
SO, SO THAT'S LOOKED AT AGAINST THE WHOLE TOTAL BUILDING CAPACITY ISSUE AS WELL.
IF YOU GO TO ROMAN NUMERAL 11, ALPHA B, I THINK WE WERE PUTTING THAT TYPE OF LANGUAGE IN THE ACTUAL.IN THE AR ITSELF.
IT WON'T BE ON THE POWERPOINT.
I APOLOGIZE ON BOARD MEMBERS, BUT I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE WERE ADDRESSING THAT LANGUAGE.
BECAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO BE UNIQUE TO MEET THAT PROGRAMMATIC NEEDS TO KEEP PROGRAMS WITH SOME SUS YOU KNOW, SUSTAINABILITY.
I MAY NOT HAVE ANYONE IN IT, BUT WE MAY HAVE A PROGRAMMATIC THAT GOES TO THE PRINCIPAL.
SO MY QUESTION ABOUT THAT IS, UM, OKAY.
HILTON HEAD HIGH SCHOOL, YOU SAID IT'S 98% ABOVE 98% CAPACITY, BUT I KNOW THE IB PROGRAM IS, HAS CAPACITY.
AND I KNOW THAT PARENTS HAVE SAID THEY CAN'T GET THEIR KIDS IN THE ID PROGRAM THAT DON'T.
SO THAT'S A CONCERN BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THAT THAT HAS CAPACITY TO REALLY BENEFIT OUR STUDENTS.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE WERE ADDRESSING WITHOUT ME, UM, BEING ABLE TO ADDRESS THAT TYPE OF UNIQUENESS MRS. ROBLINE, UM, DR.
OF YOU CAN CORRECT ME IF THAT WASN'T THE INTENTION OF THE LANGUAGE.
THAT, THAT IS ACTUALLY ALWAYS BEEN THE INTENTION, EVEN BACK IN 2019 WHEN WE MADE THOSE, BECAUSE THERE WERE SO MANY CASES WHERE YOU COULD BE PRESENTED WITH A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE OR HAVE A PROGRAM THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT HAS SO MUCH VALUE THAT THERE'S NOT AN AVENUE FOR SOMEONE TO GET INTO.
SO THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED TO DO WAS CREATE A WAY FOR THEM TO DO IT WITHOUT HAVING TO VIOLATE AND THEN GO THROUGH A SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE TO COME TO ME, LIKE MAKE IT SIMPLE FOR PARENTS NOT.
I THINK THIS LANGUAGE CLEANS UP THAT FUSION QUITE A BIT.
I THINK YOU ALL HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF MAKING IT A LITTLE MORE AMENABLE TO PARENTS TO BE ABLE TO GET THEIR NEEDS MET FOR THEIR STUDENTS.
AND, AND I LIKED THAT IT'S THE SUPERINTENDENT AND, OR HIS DESIGNEE THAT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO EXPAND, BECAUSE I KNOW I'VE HEARD, YOU KNOW, AN IB STUDENT ALSO DO REGULAR PE CLASSES AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND HE WAS CONCERNED THAT THOSE CLASSES WILL BE, UH, OVER FILLED THEN IF WE LET IN ADDITIONAL IB STUDENTS.
BUT, UM, I THINK, YOU KNOW, TO REALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT PROGRAM, WE, WE NEED TO MAKE SOME OF THOSE TOUGH CALLS.
WELL, I'M STILL CONCERNED WITH THE FIXED NUMBERS FOR EACH OF THE PROGRAMS, FOR EXAMPLE, HILTON THAT IB PROGRAM.
OH, HOW MANY CHILDREN REALLY DO HAVE THE CHOICE TO ENTER THAT PROGRAM VERSUS THE CAPACITY OF THE SCHOOL AND WHAT ARE WE DOING OR PLANNING AND THOSE QUESTIONS, I'M SURE YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWERS TO TODAY TO EXPAND OR ELIMINATE SOME OF THOSE POSSIBLE CHOICES, MAN, IF THERE IS NO CHOICE, THEN THAT IB PROGRAM IS NOT A CHOICE PROGRAM.
WE JUST, YOU KNOW, SPITTING IN THE WIND WITH THE TERM THING IS CHOICE.
AND IF THE, IF IT IS CHOICE, THEN WE HAVE TO MAKE IT ACCESSIBLE TO THE INDIVIDUALS WHO WOULD WANT TO COME.
AND THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'M SAYING, YOU KNOW, IN MY MIND, A PROGRAM SHOULD, SHOULD DRIVE THAT CAPACITY.
ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAPACITY DRIVING THE PROGRAM, WE JUST GOT TO FIX THE PROGRAM.
WE HAD ANOTHER STUDENTS SAW, UH, UH, ENGAGING.
[00:40:01]
I MEAN, I'D BE HIS IDEA.WE GOT A LOT OF SCHOOL INVOLVED WITH IT.
SO OBVIOUSLY THE CAPACITY FOR THAT PROGRAM IS NOT BIG ENOUGH, BUT YOU'RE SAYING THE CAPACITY OR THE SCHOOL WILL ALLOW IT TO BE BIG ENOUGH.
WELL, MAYBE WE CAN EXPAND THE CAPACITY FOR THE PROGRAM.
AND SOME OF THE CHILDREN MIGHT HAVE CHOICES TO GO ELSEWHERE, BUT THEN PROGRAM CHOICES.
THAT'S, YOU KNOW, THAT'S MY THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
UH, ANOTHER LAYER THAT WE, UH, ADDED TO THIS TO KIND OF HELP MAKE SURE THAT WE, YOU KNOW, ARE, UH, ADDRESSING THOSE STUDENTS THAT REALLY WANT A CHOICE, LIKE, LIKE IB AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL IS WE ALSO HAVE BEGUN MONITORING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY PART OF THAT PROGRAM, THAT THEY'RE NOT JUST USING THE, UM, THE SCHOOL CHOICE, UH, APPLICATION TO GET TO A SCHOOL FOR ANOTHER REASON, UM, THAT, YOU KNOW, AND NOT ACTUALLY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IB.
SO IF THEY'RE IN IB, WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE STILL IN IB.
UM, AND WE'VE NOTIFIED THE SCHOOL, HEY, UM, YOU KNOW, YOUR COUNSELORS NEEDED TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS KID, YOU KNOW, IS THIS, IS THIS AN INSIGHT, YOU KNOW, A MISTAKE OVERSIGHT, WHATEVER YOU WANT, BUT IT, IT, IT ENABLES US TO KIND OF HELP THEM MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE PROPERLY USED, UH, UTILIZING THAT PROGRAM.
SO, AND BACK TO THAT LANGUAGE FOR AN, I WILL UTILIZE IB BECAUSE IT IS THE EXCEPTION, BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A BIT ACADEMIC SCHOOL YEAR BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE HILTON HEAD HIGH SCHOOL WILL GO BE RENOVATED TO INCREASE IN, MEET THE NEEDS OF THE POPULATION.
IN CONVERSATION WITH THE PRINCIPAL, WE'D SPOKE, WHAT WOULD BE THE CAP AMOUNT THAT WE COULD LOOK COMING IN AS NINTH GRADERS, BUT HE IB MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAM.
AND WE LANDED ON A NUMBER OF 20 BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE IF IT'S 20 THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR, IT'S 40, RIGHT? BECAUSE EACH YEAR KEEPING INCREASING AND THOSE STUDENTS MUST MAKE A DECLARATION IN THEIR SECOND SEMESTER OF 10TH GRADE TO GO WITHIN THE DIPLOMA PROGRAM TO REMAIN.
AND THAT WAS LANGUAGE THAT WE LAND.
I LANDED ON WITH THE PRINCIPAL AT HILTON HEAD.
SO THAT IS A CONCESSION THAT HAS BEEN PUT IN PLACE THAT IS ALLOWED WITH THE LANGUAGE HERE.
THAT'S IN ROMAN NUMERAL 11, ALPHA B, BECAUSE WE ALSO HAVE TO KIND OF REGULATE HOW MANY KIDS YOU ARE LETTING IN SINCE WE DO HAVE A CAPACITY ISSUE AS WELL, BUT WE RECOGNIZE KIDS ARE GONNA GO OUT.
KIDS ARE GONNA COME IN, SAID THAT LANGUAGE WAS LIGHTLY TOUCHED ON MR. EARL CAMPBELL HAS HIS HAND UP.
MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY CHILDREN, STUDENTS FROM THE BLUFFTON AREA IS IN THE IB PROGRAM AT HILTON THERE AND WANT TO KNOW MR. FRITZ IS GENERALLY PRETTY GOOD ON THOSE DECLARATIONS.
I CAN TELL YOU UP UNTIL THIS YEAR, THEN THE LAST TWO YEARS THERE, WASN'T A SINGLE ONE, UM, FROM OUTSIDE HILTON HEAD, THAT WAS ADMITTED FOR THAT.
I AGREE WITH MELVIN, WE SHOULDN'T BE CALLING A CHOICE BECAUSE, UM, MONEY WAS AT BATTERY CREEK.
YOU HAD STUDENTS FROM, FROM BUFORD HIGH AND BATTERY AND OTHER SCHOOLS ATTENDED THAT PROGRAM.
SO ARE THEY NOT ATTENDING, ARE THERE STUDENTS FROM OTHER SCHOOLS NOT ATTENDING BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN DENIED OR ARE THEY NOT ATTENDING BECAUSE THEY HAVE OFFERINGS AT THEIR HIGH SCHOOLS THAT THEY ARE HAPPY TO TAKE MS. MR. FRITZ.
UM, AS FAR AS THAT GOES, UH, THE ENTIRE TIME THAT I'VE, UH, BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE SCHOOL CHOICE, HILTON HEAD WAS OVER THE 98%.
SO THE ABILITY FOR THE DATA SERVICES DEPARTMENT TO, UM, ADMIT ADDITIONAL STUDENTS WAS NOT THERE.
THE ONLY WAY THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO IS WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT OR THEIR DESIGNEE LIFTING THE ABILITY.
AND THIS IS THE YEAR THAT, UM, THAT THAT'S BEEN ADDRESSED.
UH, SO IN THE TWO PREVIOUS YEARS, WHEN YOU WEREN'T RAN THROUGH THIS, UH, THERE WASN'T ANYTHING PAST THAT POINT.
THAT'S A LITTLE PERCEPTION IS IT'S NOT A CHOICE AT ALL.
MOST OF THE STUDENTS DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THE IB PROGRAM, YOU KNOW, SO THAT'S THE OTHER, THAT'S THE OTHER ELEPHANT THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE TO HANDLE THAT IF IT IS A CHOICE AND WE DO WANT TO ROUND OUT OUR DISTRICTS CHOICES THAT HAS TO BE MADE LEGITIMATELY A CHOICE SOMEHOW, I DON'T KNOW.
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A PROGRAM NORTH OF THE BROAD AND SOUTH OF THE BRA FOR IB MIDDLETON? I'VE BEEN
[00:45:01]
IN THE DISTRICT, UM, YEAH, 23 YEARS.AND AT ONE POINT WE DID HAVE IB AT BATTERY CREEK HIGH SCHOOL.
AND IT WAS, THAT'S ACTUALLY WHERE IT STARTED.
WHY CAN'T, WHY CAN'T WE, CAN WE DO IT AGAIN? I KNOW IT'S EXPENSIVE TO TRAIN.
WHY CAN'T WE DO IT AGAIN? WELL, SOMEONE HAS TO DRIVE THE BUS.
WELL, IF I MAY, I CAN'T SPEAK AS TO WHY IT WAS SHIPPED IT OUT.
I DO NOT HAVE THAT INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY, BUT I CAN SHARE THAT IT WAS NUMBERS OF GRADUATES.
THAT WAS, I REMEMBER THAT PLANE, LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY, IT WAS ABOUT THE NUMBERS AND THE COSTS, AND THEY DIVIDE THE COSTS WITH THE NUMBER OF GRADUATES.
THEY WERE NOT ENOUGH STUDENTS GRADUATING TO THE PROGRAM TO JUSTIFY THE COST IS WHAT DO YOU SAY? OKAY.
AND HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT? YEAH, I WOULD SAY AT LEAST 10 AND LONGER THAN THAT.
NOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED BACK UNDER TRUESDALE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT DOING IT AGAIN.
SO IT WAS ABOUT THE TIME, WELL BRANCH OPEN BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO OFFER THE EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM THERE.
AND I THINK IT'S, THEY JUST SORT OF LET THE, THE, UM, THE IB DISAPPEAR AND STUDENTS HAD THE OPTION OF DOING THE EARLY COLLEGE CLASSES AND TH AND THEY ALSO WANT NEEDED THE CONTINUUM AS WELL.
CAUSE WE WERE TRYING TO INVESTIGATE THE PYP MYP AND THEN THE DIPLOMA TRACK ON THIS SIDE, RIGHT? YES.
BECAUSE THAT'S ANOTHER QUESTION OR STUDENTS AREN'T PREPARED TO, TO TAKE THAT CHOICE.
THEY HAVE A PREREQUISITE FOR IB, YOU KNOW, SO A 10TH GRADER CAN MAKE THE CHOICE THAT HE WANTS TO GO TO HILTON HEAD AND HE DOESN'T HAVE THAT NYP PROGRAM INTACT THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO ADDRESS ACCELERATED MODEL WITH A FEEDER NORTH AND ABROAD, WE HAVE BROUGHT IN CAMBRIDGE AND ACE, ROBERT SMALLS, INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY, WE'LL BE DOING CONDUCTING CREATIVE COURSES.
THEY JUST RECEIVED THEIR APPROVAL.
BATTERY CREEK HAS PICKED UP CAMBRIDGE AES NATION AT THE ENGLISH COURSE WHERE WE'RE UTILIZING, WHICH IS ACE GENERAL PAPER, UM, HAS BEEN INCEPTED FROM THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA TO MEET HIGH SCHOOL.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS IS ONE OF THE ENGLISH CREDITS.
SO WE HAVE PUT IN ANOTHER PROGRAM IN PLACE AND I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET A FEEDER PATTERN IN THERE WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE COURSE OF DOING THE MIDDLE YEARS AND THEN THE DIPLOMA MODEL, BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET THAT FEEDBACK.
UM, WHEN I REACHED OUT REGARDING TO, TO RESTART IB NORTH AT ABROAD, BUT THERE WAS, UH, QUITE AN INTEREST WHEN I BROUGHT FORWARD CAMBRIDGE AND THE ACE MODEL.
AND WE JUST NOW HAVE A GRADE SIX THROUGH 12, BASICALLY GRADES A DIRECT FEED OF PATTERN NORTH OF ABROAD.
WHEN YOU SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE 20, UM, LIKE 20 SLOTS IN THE IB, IS THAT 20 TRANSFER SLOTS AVAILABLE 20 ADDITIONAL.
SO THOSE WOULD ACTUALLY BE STUDENTS THAT, UM, MR.
SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO HOW MANY, I MEAN, I DO KNOW THAT IF FEW, UM, LETTERS HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH FOR CONSIDERATION TO BE ENTERED, UM, I ONLY KNOW A FEW, I CAN'T SAY HOW MANY ADD A ZONE THIS YEAR, BUT IT IS OUR FIRST YEAR, THIS YEAR.
PUTTING THAT INTO PLACE AND HAVING THAT INPUT FROM THE SCHOOL PRINCIPAL WHO HAD SAID, YES, I KIND OF STRETCHED THE LETTERING OF THAT.
SORRY, CAROL OF THAT 98 CAPACITY, A LITTLE MORE BY WHAT WAS WRITTEN ORIGINALLY IN THIS DOCUMENT.
SO THAT WILL GIVE US A STARTING POINT TO SEE HOW MANY KIDS ARE TRYING TO CHOICE IN NOW.
ONCE THE WORD GETS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT THERE ARE SOME SPOTS AVAILABLE, IT, YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD, I WOULD THINK SO.
YOU KNOW, AND THAT WAS, THAT IS OUR
[00:50:01]
INTENTION.AND HAVING THAT CONVERSATION WITH THE SCHOOL.
BECAUSE THERE ARE, THERE ARE FAMILIES WHO WORK ON HILTON HEAD WHO LIVE IN BLUFFTON, AND I WANT MY CHILD TO HAVE THAT EXPOSURE TO THE INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE.
BUT THAT DECLARATION MUST HAPPEN DURING SECOND SEMESTER OF 10TH GRADE IS I'M LEAVING THE MIDDLE YEARS PROGRAM AND THAT UP AND USING, YOU KNOW, YOU START THE PULLMAN AS AN 11TH GRADER, RIGHT? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS, UH, SS RE 0.3 OR WHATEVER IT IS, THIS IS AR IT'S MORE OF A CARE HOME YET AS YOU ALL, UM, PROGRESS THIS THROUGH THE BOARD, BECAUSE IT DOES CONSTITUTE SORT OF CHANGE IN DESCRIPTION OF STUDENT ASSIGNMENT THAT WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE OUR FRIENDS AT THE OPPOSITE CIVIL RIGHTS ARE AWARE OF YOUR POLICY CHANGES, ALTHOUGH, MINOR, UM, BUT SIGNIFICANT IN SOME AREAS WE JUST MIGHT WANT TO KIND OF BRING THEM ALONG IN THAT CONVERSATION SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE AND WILL APPROVE IT BECAUSE AS PART OF THEIR 2010 AGREEMENT, ANY CHANGES WE MAKE, THEY DO HAVE TO APPROVE.
AND THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN REALLY UNTIL AFTER THE BOARD APPROVES IT.
SO, BUT JUST REALIZE THAT'S ANOTHER STEP IN WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN.
IS DON'T REQUIRE BOARD APPROVAL.
SO I'M NOT SURE THAT I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK YOU, AND I KIND OF LOOKED AT THAT DR.
BUT I, AND WE NEVER LANDED DEFINITIVELY BECAUSE IN 2010 WAS THE CAPACITY OF MILTON, THE HEAD OF HIGH SCHOOL AT, OR ABOVE 98%.
AND I WON THAT OCR AGREEMENT WAS PUT INTO PLACE.
I THINK, I THINK THAT CAME LATER.
AGAIN, ANYTIME WE MADE ANY CHANGE, WE WOULD JUST SEND IT TO THEM.
AND IF THEY DON'T COMMENT, THAT'S KIND OF SEEN AS APPROVAL.
SO WE CAN HAVE LI WE CAN HAVE LEGAL SEND, BUT I DON'T SEE A SHIFT IN LANGUAGE, CAROL, BUT I DON'T MEAN, I MEAN, I DON'T, BUT GO AHEAD.
I DON'T THINK WE MADE ANY SHIFTS WITH PER SE.
UNLESS CAROL IS BEING SPECIFIC WITH REGARDS TO THE IMPACT OF THE 20 ADDITIONAL STUDENTS AT THAT 98 PERCENTILE WAS DEFINITIVELY AT 2010.
AND AM I CORRECT? THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE REFERENCING BACK.
AND IT WAS THE 98% WAS THERE IN 2010.
I THINK THE 98% BECAME AS A CHANGE SOMEWHERE AROUND 15 OR 16.
SO WE WILL HAVE TO GIVE AN UPDATE IF THAT NOTIFICATION HAS GOTTEN TO THAT AVENUE.
SO RECOGNIZING THAT I CAN SAY WE CAN GO TO THE BOARD YET.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT WAS BROUGHT UP.
NO, I, THEY, THEY WON'T CHIME IN AND APPROVE ANYTHING.
THE BOARD HAS APPROVED IT OR DOES NOT BOARD DOES NOT.
THE BOARD DOES NOT APPROVE IT, BUT YOU DO.
YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE BOARD TO LOOK AT ME.
SO I THINK AFTER YOU TAKE IT TO THE BOARD, THEN IT WOULD JUST BE A, A NOTIFICATION.
WE DID THIS KIND OF THING, AND WENDY'S VERY GOOD AT HANDLING CAUSE IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY WENDY.
I'M SURE SHE KEPT THAT IN MIND.
I JUST, I ALWAYS ERR ON THE SIDE OF CAUTION AND TRY TO BRING THEM ALONG IN ANYTHING WE DO WELL, BASED ON TO ME, UM, THE CHANGES IN LANGUAGE TO ME, OUR PROCESS IS PROCESS-BASED AS WELL AND DOESN'T AFFECT ANYTHING ELSE REALLY.
SO I WOULDN'T, I MEAN, SENDING IT TO THE OFFICE OF CIVIL RIGHTS IS FINE.
I WOULDN'T ANTICIPATE THAT THEY WOULD REALLY READ IT ANY DIFFERENTLY, BUT IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY LEGAL.
SO MR. SMITH'S DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? ACTUALLY, I HAD A COMMENT.
I WAS, I WAS GOING TO SAY, I WILL SAY IT DON'T HURT TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
UM, I SEE WHERE MS. CRUTCHFIELD, UH, WHERE SHE'S GOING WITH IT.
I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH LETTING OCR ON NO, NO ABAYAS.
SO THEREFORE, LIKE I SAID, IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN, SORRY.
I DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH IT.
SO I THINK THE NEXT STEP IS A PRESENTATION
[00:55:01]
AT, AND I BELIEVE, OH, MR. SMITH.UH, WELL ACTUALLY MY, UH, AND, AND MAKING AN AGREE WITH THAT.
UH, WELL, SO WOULD THERE BE A PROBLEM WITH, UH, SAYING THAT TO THEM? WHERE WOULD WE GO FROM HERE ON THAT DOCUMENTS? MY QUESTION.
WELL, MR. SMITH, IT'S AN AR AND IT'S CHANGED PROCEDURES AND THE AR IS, ARE PRESENTED TO THE BOARD.
SO WE ARE, UM, KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT WHAT CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE.
ARE WE TRADING FROM AR TO OES? NOPE.
HE, HE, THIS IS NOT A PE THIS ISN'T BOARD POLICY.
THIS IS AN ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION.
THE BOARD PRESENTS, I MEAN THE, UM, STAFF PRESENTS IT TO THE BOARDS.
WE KNOW THE CHANGES IN LANGUAGE AND THE CHANGE OR CHANGES IN PROCEDURE, AND THEN THEY TAKE IT FROM THERE AND GET WENDY CARTILAGE TO SHE'S ALREADY VIEWED AT ONCE AND THEN SHE CAN, UH, SEND IT TO THE OCR.
THAT'S A BETTER UNDERSTANDING.
STRATOSE, UM, PRESENT THIS AT TUESDAY'S MEETING.
I'LL COME WITH OUR MEMBERSHIP TEAM WHO WERE PARKED.
WE'LL SUCCINCT THE ON SLIDES, UM, TO STAY IN ORDER.
AND I'D LIKE THE BOARD TO RECOGNIZE THAT IT WAS A COMMITTEE WHO WORKED WITH REGARD TO THE AR THREE.
AND I THINK THE OTHER THING THAT'S LIKE IMPORTANT TO POINT OUT JUST AS A COMMITTEE WORKED ON THIS, IT'S MOVING TO COMMITTEE BASED DECISIONS WHEN IT COMES TO STUDENTS AND CHANGES IN PROGRAMS, RICHEST MA'AM.
WHICH I THINK IS, UM, YOU KNOW, REALLY BROADENING THE, THE, UH, THE WAY OF THINKING.
AND, AND TO ME, THAT'S, THAT'S A POSITIVE STEP.
THAT IS, THAT WAS THE INTENT OF THE TEAM TO BE VERY DREADFUL.
SO THE NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS DISCUSSION OF FUTURE TOPICS.
AND WHEN WE CONCLUDED OUR LAST MEETING, UM, THE CONCLUSION WAS THAT FUTURE TOPICS COME FROM THE, UH, INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES, UH, DEPARTMENT, NOT FROM THE BOARD THAT WE DON'T DICTATE FOR FUTURE TOPICS AND THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, TOPICS COME REVOLVED AROUND THE OAK EAS OR, UM, A R'S.
STRATIS, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THE TIP, YOUR HEAD RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD COME NEXT AT OUR JUNE MEETING? SO I HAD HAD A CONVERSATION WITH DR.
RODRIGUEZ EARLIER, UM, REGARDING BRINGING FORWARD THE ACADEMIC RECOVERY PLAN THAT WE HAD HAD ALL OUR PRINCIPALS WORK ON, ON APRIL 28TH.
IT WAS FORMALIZED TO THE STATE ON SUNDAY.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO BRING SOME OF THAT INFORMATION FORWARD TO THE COMMITTEE.
UM, ANY, SO THEN OUR NEXT MEETING, WE'VE BEEN MEETING THE FOURTH WEDNESDAYS WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH, AND I THINK THAT BRINGS US TO APRIL 20, UH, UH, JUNE 23RD, JUNE 23RD, UH, JUNE 23RD.
IS THAT AN EMERGENCY RAIN DAY FOR GRADUATION? YES, IT IS.
SO THAT MEANS IF, UM, IT'S A ONE EFFECT.
IT WOULDN'T AFFECT BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE AT SEVEN YEAH.
SEVEN O'CLOCK EARLY THAT MORNING, UH, LATE THAT AFTERNOON.
CAN I SAY JUST THAT WE SCHEDULE THE MEETING FOR THE 23RD AND WHERE, WHERE IS THE RAIN DATE FOR WHAT SCHOOL THAT DAY IS FOR ANY, IT WOULD BE FOR ANY SCHOOL THAT WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE UP THEIR RAIN DATE.
SO IT'S JUST THE DAY ON THE CALENDAR HELD FOR ANY SCHOOL THAT WASN'T ABLE TO DO THEIR RAIN DATE.
[01:00:03]
YES, SIR.THESE SCHOOLS HAD A SPECIFIC RAIN DAY OR HAS A SPECIFIC RAIN DAY, BUT IF IT RAINS ON THAT PARTICULAR DAY FOR THEIR RAIN DATE, WE HAVE ON THE CALENDAR, A DATE, WHICH IS THE 23RD, ANY PARTICULAR SCHOOL AS A BACKUP.
OH, IT'S THE BACKUP TO THE BACKUP.
THE 23RD IS THE BACKUP TO THE BACKUP.
OH, I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE FIRST BACKUP SCHOOL IS ASSIGNED THE BACKUP DATE.
AND THEN THIS IS A BACKUP TO THE BACKUP.
WELL FOLKS, WHERE DO YOU SAY, SHOULD WE GIVE IT A CHANCE BACK UP? YEAH.
UM, CAN WE, ANGELA, MS. MIDDLETON, COULD WE START LIKE AT FOUR 30 THAT DAY, JUST IN CASE IT IS A BACKUP TO THE HOUSE? ABSOLUTELY.
THAT WOULD HELP US IF YOU WANT TO START EARLIER, I'LL BE IN AGREEANCE WITH BED SOON, BUT THEN YOU, WILL YOU BE ABLE TO JOIN US? OH YEAH.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT IF WE DID IT? I'M JUST THINKING OUT LOUD HERE, HELP ME COMMITTEE MEMBERS, BUT I'M THINKING IF WE STARTED AT FOUR, WE ENDED, YOU KNOW, AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF, THAT'S FIVE 30.
AND IF WE HAD TO GET TO A GRADUATION CEREMONY, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED A SICK, A SPECIAL PASS TO CUT THROUGH EVERYONE IN THE PARKING LOT, DEPENDING WHICH SCHOOL THAT'S TRUE.
I'M JUST THINKING OF THE LOGISTICS.
WELL MAYBE THE GRADUATES PARENTS, BUT THEN, YOU KNOW WHAT, I GUESS WE COULD, WELL, I WOULD GO TO THAT SCHOOL IN JUNE FROM THAT SCHOOL.
SO I WOULD ALREADY BE THERE, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT MS. MIDDLETON CAN DO THAT.
SO WANT TO TRY FOUR O'CLOCK DID DR.
STRATOS DOES FOUR O'CLOCK ON THE 23RD WORK FOR YOU, ROBIN? YES.
UH, MR. CAMPBELL, DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU? WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.
SO OUR NEXT ACADEMIC COMMITTEE MEETING WILL BE FOUR O'CLOCK ON JUNE 23RD.
IT WILL BE VIRTUAL AND WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT IT'S NOT A BACKUP TO THE BACKUP, TO A BACKUP BACKUP.
ANYTHING ELSE? ANY OTHER COMMENTS? LET ME SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS ANY COMMENTS.
I DON'T SEE ANYBODY ANY HANDS UP TOO IS ROBIN.
IF I COULD JUST SPEAK TO THE MAVERICK WHO WORKED ON SS THREE, BECAUSE THEY HAVE PUT DILIGENT TIME INTO THIS, AND ACTUALLY IT WAS TWO AND A HALF YEARS.
THEY KEPT REFINING AND REFINING TO IT TO COME TO THIS LEVEL RIGHT NOW.
SO I DO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE TEAM.
SO AT THIS TIME, UNLESS THERE IS ANYTHING ELSE WE ARE READY.
