SO WE HAVE, CAN YOU SCROLL TO THE TOP? SO WE HAVE OUR USUAL, UM, INFORMATION AT THE TOP.
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE EXECUTIVE SESSION AT FIVE AND THE PUBLIC SESSION STARTING AT SIX AND IT WILL BE A HYBRID MEETING AND THE USUAL THING FOR THE MEDIA CENTER ATTENDANCE AND THEN THE, UM, PUBLIC COMMENT SUBMISSION, ANY, ANY, UH, COMMENTS REGARDING ALL OF THAT.
WE MOVE ON TO THE EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WE HAVE SEVERAL ITEMS UNDER THERE WE HAVE, AND I SEE DR.
SO WE HAVE, UM, AN EMPLOYMENT MATTER REGARDING PERSONNEL RATIFICATION REPORT.
UH, WE HAVE A PERSONAL RATIFICATION REPORT.
THAT'S ONE ITEM, UH, OVER THE WEEKEND, WE GOT A REQUEST AROUND THE HIRING PROCESS AND THAT'S WHAT I'M CALLING A PERSONNEL MATTER BECAUSE, UH, BOOKS TO ONE ADDRESS, SOME SPECIFICS IN THERE THAT ARE PERSONNEL RELATED.
SO IT'LL BE A PERSONAL MATTER.
SO PERSONNEL AS OPPOSED TO PERSONAL, YES, THAT'S RIGHT.
AND THAT COULD BE UNDER THE, UNDER THE TOP HEADING RIGHT.
UH, UH, WENDY, COULD IT BE, IT CAN, WE CAN SAY AND PERSON, WE COULD ADD IT ON AND PERSONNEL MATTER.
AND I'LL DOUBLE CHECK IT FOR Y YES.
AND THAT SAME CODE WOULD APPLY TO BOTH DOUBLE CHECK DR.
AND THEN WE HAVE OUR USUAL, UH, ADULT ED HOME SCHOOL REPORT, AND WE'RE NOT SURE, BUT I JUST PUT IT THERE AS A PLACE HOLDER.
AND THE TWO CONTRACTS THERE SHOULD BE A SPACE OR A HYPHEN IN BETWEEN, UH, IREADY.
AND THEN, AND THEN WE NEED TO ADD, UH, RECEIPT OF, UH, FROM, UH, WENDY.
PUT THE RIGHT LANGUAGE IN THERE.
I NEED TO UPDATE YOU ON TWO MATTERS, SO, OKAY.
I'LL GET THAT LANGUAGE IN THERE AFTER THIS.
[00:05:01]
I MEAN, I'M FINE TO BE AT THE END.WELL, UM, I THINK WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET THROUGH THE CONTRACTS, SO MAYBE WE WANT TO MOVE THEM UP TO THE FRONT AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT, UH, ON THESE CONTRACTS WE HAVE AN EXPECTED, UH, OUTCOME.
THERE WE'LL HAVE DISCUSSION OF CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, ROBIN.
MARILYN DAVID, ANY COMMENTS WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT THERE? THE DISCUSSION IS GOING TO BE ON THE, THE PRINCIPAL HIRING MATTER.
UM, I SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT WHEN YOU MIGHT WANT TO START EARLIER.
UM, TO ME IT'S A VERY BRIEF DISCUSSION, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE GENERAL.
THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF TALK ABOUT IT.
SO 4 37 SOUNDED TO MEL AND DAVID SOUNDS GOOD.
ALRIGHTY, THEN SCROLL A LITTLE BIT.
THE USUAL THINGS TO PLEDGE APPROVAL OF AGENDA, THE PLEDGE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, OR POINTS OF CELEBRATION OR RETIREES THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT.
R USUALLY, UH, THE NAMES OF RETIREES ARE READ OUT.
UM, AND WOULD THERE, ARE YOU GOING TO GO BY, UM, I GUESS YOU'D SAY LONGEVITY, WHO'S THE LONGEST, UM, EMPLOYED INTO IT RETIREES FIRST OR BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA? I'M NOT SURE HOW IT'S LAID OUT.
UM, I'M SURE WE CAN DO IT EITHER WAY.
UH, DO YOU ALL HAVE, I THINK IT'S REALLY GOOD TO GIVE RECOGNITION TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN HERE THE LONGEST AND LET THEM STAND OUT.
THAT WOULD BE MY PERSONAL OPINION.
THE LAST ON THE LIST, RIGHT? WELL, EITHER WAY.
UM, AND WERE TWO, THE FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS, THE CHAIRMAN'S REPORT WILL INCLUDE THE, UM, UH, TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE FOR RIGHT NOW.
FOR COMMITTEE REPORTS, WE'VE GOT AD HOC AND FINANCE.
THOSE WOULD BE THE TWO THAT WE'LL HAVE MET, I THINK IS THAT IT BY THEN ROBIN, ASHLEY IS GOING TO MEET THE DAY BEFORE THE MEETING.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE MEETING THAT MONDAY, SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF TO PUT IT ON THERE OR NOT.
WHAT TIME ARE THEY MEETING? THEY MEET AT, UM, 12 O'CLOCK, 11, 12.
O'CLOCK 12 O'CLOCK ON MONDAY AT FOUR 30.
SO I COULD, BUT IT'S FOUR 30 ON MONDAY, SO IT'D BE TOO LATE FOR THE AGENDA.
HUH? I WON'T BE ABLE TO SHOW ANY EXHIBIT CERTAIN THINGS, SO I DON'T HAVE TO BE A PRETTY BRIEF.
SO DO YOU WANT TO WAIT TILL AUGUST? UH, DAVID THAT'S THE, THAT WOULD BE, THAT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE CAUSE WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY OTHER THAN THAT THAN THE DIRECTION WE'RE HEADED.
BECAUSE LIKE YOU SAID, WE WON'T HAVE THE DOCUMENTS SINCE IT'S MEETING LATE IN THE DAY.
SO ANY OTHER COMMENTS, UH, DAVID OR MIL OR ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY.
WE'RE TO THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT
[00:10:01]
AND I'LL LET DR.CAN YOU SCROLL SO WE CAN SEE ONE.
SO, UH, ON THIS, UM, THE KIND OF FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, THE MONTHLY TRANSPARENCY REPORT.
AND THAT WE HAVE, UH, A S UPDATE.
WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN THOUGH ON THE SECOND MEETING OF ALL THE MONTH AND THIS THERE'S ONLY SUPPLY, SO WE'RE GOING TO HIT IT HERE AND THEN, THEN IT'LL BE THE SECOND MEETING.
ALL RIGHT, THEN WE'VE GOT ANY, ANYTHING JUST RAISE YOUR HAND OR RAISE YOUR MAIL RODRIGUEZ, ANYTHING STUCK WITH YOU? LIKE WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO WITH THEM? I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW I WAS GOING THROUGH WITH MARY.
I MEAN, SHE WENT THROUGH A PRETTY EXTENSIVE, UH, PRESENTATION LAST TIME.
UM, IS THAT ME? YEAH, I THINK SO.
I TURNED IT ON AND OFF AND IT WORKED.
UM, UNDER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, UH, I KNOW MARY WENT THROUGH A PRETTY EXTENSIVE, UH, PRESENTATION LAST TIME, UH, RELATED TO THAT WE HAVE, UH, COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WE HAVE, UH, TWO CONTRACTS OR ITEMS THAT ARE RELATED STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
UM, SO, SO THAT'S, THAT'S WHEN I MET WITH HER IN THE CONTRACTS AND THE PRESENTATION SHE SHARED LAST TIME.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AT THIS TIME.
THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE EARL.
I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK ABOUT, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO START HAVING MEETINGS? HOW'S THAT ABROAD? WELL, ROCK ROCK.
I THINK WE'RE ALL IN SEPARATE PLACES.
SO, UM, ROBIN, YOU GAVE, OR I FORGOTTEN WHO GAVE THE UPDATE AT THE LAST MARK MARK DID.
AND WE KIND OF, WE'RE STILL, IT WOULD BE IN SEPTEMBER, RIGHT? YOU SAID AUGUST.
SO WE'RE, UM, PERHAPS THE SECOND MEETING IN AUGUST WE'RE LOOKING AT, AND THAT WOULD ALSO GIVE US TIME TO GO.
WHO DID THAT FOR? DID THAT? UM, HUH, LET'S SEE EARL.
IT WILL GIVE US TIME TO GO LOOK AT, UM, THE TOWN OF HILTON HEAD BECAUSE THEY SAID IN SEPTEMBER WE WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO MEET OVER THERE.
WE'LL BE GOING WITHIN THIS MONTH, UM, TO GO CHECK OUT THEIR FACILITY AND ALL OF THAT.
UM, DAVID, UM, UNDER THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD JUST GIVE US A HEADS UP ON WHEN, UM, WE'LL BE GETTING SOME DATA AND WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET THIS YEAR? SURE.
JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS IS, THIS IS WHEN WE'RE EXPECTING STUFF.
THEN WE'RE ONTO THE BOARD BUSINESS ACTION.
WE HAVE A BOND RESOLUTION FOR A TAN OF $15 MILLION.
AND WE HAVE CONSENT AGENDA WITH MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING AND THEN THE USUAL FUTURE AGENDA TOPICS, SECOND PUBLIC COMMENTS, ADJOURNMENT.
AND THE DISCLAIMER THAT WE'LL MEET AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, IF WE'RE NOT FINISHED OR WE DON'T EXTEND THE MEETING.
[00:15:02]
SO I THINK WE NEED TO, UM, WILLIAMS HANDS UP WHOSE HAND? OH, WILLIAM MR. SMITH.RICE? YEAH, JUST A QUICK, UH, UH, QUESTION, ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT TAKING ITEMS THAT ARE COMING, UH, THROUGH COMMITTEE AND, AND, UH, PLACING IF THEY'RE COMING THROUGH WITH, UH, CONSENT UNANIMOUS CONSENT FROM THE COMMITTEE, UH, PUTTING THEM ONTO THE CONSENT AGENDA.
SO I'LL ASK DAVID, YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS BETTER THAN I DO OFF THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD.
THAT THAT DEFINITELY WAS IN OUR OLD POLICY MANUAL.
UM, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IN OUR NEW POLICY MANUAL.
UH, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S IN THE NEW POLICY MANUAL.
IT WAS IN THE OLD POLICY MATTER.
UM, BECAUSE THERE'S ALWAYS THE OPTION TO PULL IT OFF WITH THE CONSENT.
I CAN TELL YOU MY PERSONAL THING IS I I'LL PULL MOST THINGS, ADD A CONSENT, UM, JUST BECAUSE OUR, OUR COMMITTEES ARE ONLY THREE PEOPLE.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO THINK OF AN PHASE FROM AN EFFICIENCY STANDPOINT.
UH, YEAH, I'VE HAD THE SAME THOUGHT IT WOULD MAKE THE MEETINGS GO QUICKER.
UM, BUT LIKE THE LIKE ON POLICIES, THE ONLY THING ON YOUR INTERPRETATION, I THINK IT'S TOO IMPORTANT.
UM, NOT TO HAVE THE FULL BOARD VOTE ON THAT.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST ONE OF OUR FIVE GOALS.
SO IF IT'S IMPORTANT, THEN WE REALLY NEED TO DISCUSS IT.
BUT I HAD THE EXACT SAME THOUGHT YOU HAD, IT WOULD MAKE IT SO MUCH MORE EFFICIENT.
THE REASON I WAS THINKING THAT IS BECAUSE STAFF COMES TO COMMITTEE AND THEY DO A PRESENTATION.
AND IT GOES AN HOUR, HOUR AND A HALF, WHATEVER.
AND THEN WE COME BOARD MEETING AND WE DO THE SAME PRESENTATION AGAIN RIGHT.
SO MY THOUGHT WAS JUST RATHER THAN DOING IT TWICE, WE COULD FIND SOME EFFICIENCY IN THE, UH, IN, IN THE REGULAR BOARD MEETING, UH, AROUND THAT.
BUT YEAH, WE HAVE THE SAME DISCUSSION SOMETIMES.
UM, WENDY, I WAS JUST GOING TO MENTION THAT UNDER ITEM 13, UNDER BOARD GOVERNANCE, GC TWO CONSENT AGENDA BOARD, WE USE A CONSENT AGENDA AS A MEANS TO EXPEDITE THE DISPOSITION OF ROUTINE MATTERS AND TO DISPOSE OF THEM ITEMS OF BUSINESS THAT CHOOSES NOT TO DISCUSS B PRIOR TO THE APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.
AN ITEM MAY BE MOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA TO THE BUSINESS SECTION UPON REQUEST OF A SINGLE MEMBER.
AND THEN SEE, ONCE THE BOARD HAS APPROVED THE BOARD AGENDA, MOVING AN ITEM FROM CONSENT AGENDA TO BOARD, BUSINESS ITEMS MUST BE MADE, SECONDED AND APPROVED BY TWO THIRDS.
SO THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT, UH, UNANIMOUS DECISIONS COMING OUT OF COMMITTEE.
SO I THINK ROBIN NEXT, CAN YOU PUT UP ON THE SCREEN, OUR, OUR ONGOING LIST? LET ME SEE.
CAN YOU SEE IT NOW? YES, IT SAYS, YEP.
SO THE ADDITIONAL ITEMS WERE, YOU WANT ME TO START AT THE BEGINNING? NO, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ANY, I MEAN, THEY'RE ALL PRETTY WELL OUTLINED THERE.
UM, THIS ONE WAS THE BOARD TECHNOLOGY DEVICES, UH, MADE BY MR. GOODRICH'S POSTPONE, UM, OH, E
[00:20:01]
17 NINE.UM, INGRID WANTED TO TALK ABOUT THE DISTRESS DISASTER PLAN.
THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO TALK ABOUT.
SO THAT SEEMS, UM, TIMELY FOR THIS SINCE WE ARE IN THE HURRICANE SEASON RIGHT NOW.
AND AS WE HAVE ELSA APPROACHING, ALTHOUGH SHE'S NOT A HURRICANE, HOPEFULLY, UM, THAT DOES SEEM LIKE IT WOULD BE A GOOD, MY THOUGHT ON THAT ONE WOULD BE BETTER SERVED AT A, AT A WORK SESSION BECAUSE IT'S A LOT, IT'S GOT TENTACLES IF YOU WILL.
SO I THINK WE'D BE ABLE TO PROVIDE A MORE THOROUGH EXPLANATION AT A WORK SESSION IF YOU WILL.
DAVID OR MELANIE COMMENTS? I THINK IT BELONGS IN A WORK SEARCH.
THE LAST ONE, THE DEEPER DIVE INTO IREADY, WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE CONTRACT, UM, AT THIS MEETING.
THAT'S THE LAST TWO WERE RACHEL'S.
WELL, I THINK YOU'RE GONNA, YOU'RE GONNA GIVE US A LOT INFORMATION LIKELY WITH THE, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS ARE FROM IREADY FOR DISCUSSING THE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS, CORRECT.
SO I THINK WE'LL PROBABLY REACH OUT TO HER, UM, JUST TO, UH, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, DEEP DIVE COULD, COULD, WE COULD, WE COULD LOOK AT THAT, UH, IN DIFFERENT WAYS, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT IN MIND.
THE OTHER ONE, THE STUDENT TESTING OUT OF IEP.
SO THAT'S ONCE A, UH, STUDENT IS, IS RECOGNIZED AS HAVING AN IEP.
HOW DO THEY, UH, I WON'T SAY GRADUATE FROM THAT, BUT IS THAT CORRECT? YES.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING AT.
SO IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAVE AN IEP, YOU KNOW, IS THERE A WAY FOR YOU TO NO LONGER NEED SPECIAL SERVICES? AND THAT'S THE WAY I ANSWER? IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE A PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD DISCUSSION OR NO, THAT'S NOT.
WHITE PRESENT TO TALK WITH US.
SOMETIMES THE STUDENTS HAVE ACHIEVED THEIR GOALS.
I THINK THE ISSUE THAT WE'RE UP AGAINST IS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO ANYTHING WE ADD TO THIS AGENDA, UM, YOU KNOW, STAFF IS GOING TO HAVE ONE DAY TO TURN AROUND WHATEVER IT IS TO DEAL WITH.
AND IF, IF, IF IT'S OKAY TO DO IT BY, YOU KNOW, FRIDAY OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, THAT'LL GIVE US TWO DAYS.
BUT WHAT, I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO HEAR HER, THE BOARD MEETING, SOMEBODY CONCERNED ABOUT NOT ENOUGH TIME TO READ THE DOC.
I WANT TO SET US UP THIS TEAM.
AND ALSO OUR MEETING AT THE, UM, NOW OUR LAST BUSINESS MEETING WAS SO LENGTHY, I THINK IT'S, AND LIKE YOU JUST SAID, DR.
R I MEAN, HERE WE ARE TUESDAY NIGHT AND THE DOCUMENTS WE'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ON THURSDAY, STONE BY 5:00 PM.
AND THAT REALLY DOES NOT ALLOW YOUR STAFF MUCH TIME AT ALL.
UM, I, I JUST GIVE YOU MY THOUGHTS ON THAT DEEPER DIVE INTO IREADY.
AND IF YOU, IF YOU HAVE A GOOD RESULTS ARTICULATED, WHICH I'M PRETTY SURE YOU WILL, UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT A DEEP DIVE IS GOING TO ACCOMPLISH, UM, RIGHT.
CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO, FOCUS ON RESULTS.
SO IF YOU HAVE THOSE RESULTS CLEAR WHEN YOU REVIEW THAT CONTRACT, I THINK THERE'S NO NEED TO HAVE BIG EXTENDED DISCRETION BECAUSE THAT'S ALL WE REALLY FOCUSED ON IS THE RESULTS.
I'M TRYING TO KEEP THAT CONVERSATION FROM GETTING INTO THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF HOW I ALREADY WORK
[00:25:05]
ON IT ON IEP, UH, ITEM THEY GOOD TENT WAS WHAT WAS THE TRANSITION OF NUMBERS LOOKING LIKE FROM, FROM EARLY CHILDHOOD STAGE TO EIGHTH GRADE? UH, THOSE NUMBERS GETTING SMALLER AND, YOU KNOW, NOT NECESSARILY THOUGH A PROCESS OF TESTING, BUT HOW MANY, AND IS IT HAPPENING AT A RATE THAT AFFECTS THE RESOURCES? I THINK THAT WAS THE INTENT.AND I PROBABLY, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, A GOOD DISCUSSION TO LOOK AT AND TO GET INTO ONE OF THE, ONE OF THE THINGS WE'RE GOING TO FACE IS THAT WHEN I ARRIVED HERE IN 2019, UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF WORK TO BE DONE WITH SPECIAL ED.
AND SO THERE WERE THINGS LIKE RTI, UH, MTSS, THOSE THINGS THAT HELP STUDENTS TRANSITION OUT.
UH, UM, THOSE THINGS WERE NOT REALLY, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S BEEN WORK DONE, BUT IN THE MIDST OF THAT WORK DONE, WE'VE GOT, YOU KNOW, VIRTUAL LEARNING, COVID ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO, YOU KNOW, MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE, MAYBE A GOOD THING TO LOOK AT THOUGH.
UM, THOUGH I, I GET THAT CAUSE WE MIGHT WANT TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE AND ESTABLISH THAT SORT OF AS A, JUST A CURRENT STATE AND THEN, UH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
I DON'T THINK WE CAN GET ANYTHING LIKE THAT DONE WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS.
SO THAT'S A FUTURE ITEM I CONCUR.
UM, SO THAT, I THINK THAT SEEMS LIKE A, A FULL AGENDA FOR, UH, THE MEETING NEXT WEEK.
SO CAN YOU, UM, GO BACK TO THE AGENDA FOR TODAY? TODAY'S AGENDA.
SO THE NEXT THING WOULD BE, UM, SETTING OUR,
[Discussion of any other Board Meeting Agendas]
OUR AGENDA SETTING MEETING FOR THE AUGUST.AND IF WE, SO I THINK NORMALLY OUR MEETING WOULD BE LIKE THE 23RD FOR THE AUGUST 3RD.
IT WOULD BE THE 23RD WE'RE OFF BECAUSE OF SUMMER HOURS.
SO IT WOULD BE JULY 21ST AT FOUR 30, PERHAPS A WEDNESDAY RATHER THAN THE THURSDAY.
DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU DAVID? OR CAN I MAKE A REQUEST? IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO IT ON, UH, UH, IS THE 20TH OF, UH, MONDAY OR THE 19TH? MONDAY? 19TH IS MONDAY NIGHT IS MONDAY AND THE 20TH IS ON THE TUESDAY.
IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO IT ON THE 19TH? I'M LOOKING AT AT A TIME TO TAKE, TAKE SOME TIME OFF AND, AND I'M TARGETING, UH, STARTING ON THE 20TH EITHER.
SO WE CAN DO THE 19TH FOUR O'CLOCK YEAH, THAT'S FINE.
AND IF WE'RE DOING IT AT FOUR, IT'S VERY HARD FOR ME TO GET THERE ON TIME TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE.
SO WE'LL JUST HOLD THE MEETING BY VIA ZOOM.
ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT, DAVID TOO.
SO OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING IS MONDAY, JULY 19TH, VIA ZOOM AT 4:00 PM.
SO WE DISCUSSED A LITTLE BIT HERE OF OTHER BOARD MEETING AGENDAS.
WE DISCUSSED SOME THINGS THAT WE THINK SHOULD GO TO THE WORK SESSION.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER, UH, YEAH, TRISHA KATHY AND WE'LL ON? YEP.
I HAVEN'T, UH, I HAVE BEEN AN ITEM, UH, ALSO FOR THE WORK
[00:30:01]
SESSION, UM, AROUND, AROUND DEBT THAT, UH, WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR PRESIDENT TO, UH, TO MOVE THROUGH.UH, ACTUALLY IT WILL BE REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE BOARD.
THERE'S SOME GOOD NEWS COMING OUT OF IT THAT I'LL THINK THE BOARD IS GOING TO WANT.
UH, UM, SO WE'RE TARGETING THE WORK SESSION.
RODRIGUEZ, CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE ORGANIZATION OF, OF THE CLUSTERS AND TRAVELZOO ADMINISTRATORS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS? YES, SIR.
WE KNOW WHO WAS IN THOSE SCHOOLS AND WE WOULD ADVISE PRINCIPALS ARE, AND EACH CLINIC YOU CAN DO IT.
HOW WILL YOU WANT TO ORGANIZE IT SO WE CAN HAVE KIND OF A HANDS-ON ON WHO'S WHO'S IN CHARGE OF, OF THOSE CLUSTERS AND HOW IT BREAKS DOWN JUST WITH TALKING POINTS OR EVEN FAMILIARITY WITH NAMES.
WE'LL DO WHAT WE'LL WE'LL WHAT I'LL DO IS I'LL START WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS.
UH, SO YOU'LL SEE WHAT SCHOOLS THEY HAVE.
UH, AND THEN WE'LL GO DOWN TO THE CLUSTER AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT PRINCIPALS AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS.
CAN YOU JUST, UM, IN THE PAST, IT'S BEEN DISTRIBUTED TO THE BOARD, LIKE ON A ONE TYPE SHEET, SOMETHING LIKE THAT WITH THEIR CONTACT NUMBERS AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
SO IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING YOU COULD JUST DISTRIBUTE TO THE BOARD.
UM, NOT, NOT NECESSARILY NEEDS TO BE AN AGENDA ITEM ON FOR A MEETING.
UM, I KNOW THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THE WORK SESSION.
I JUST WANTED TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN AUGUST, WE'RE ONLY GOING TO HAVE A ONE DAY WORK SESSION BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL CONFERENCE.
SO, UH, UNLESS WE WANT TO DESIGNATE IT ADDITIONAL DAY FOR A WORK SESSION, I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT TOPICS THAT NEED TO BE DISCUSSED, BUT WE'LL ONLY HAVE ONE DAY AT THIS POINT BECAUSE OF THE LEGAL CONFERENCE.
EXCELLENT REMINDER, KATHY, IS THAT SOMETHING FOR DISCUSSION DURING THE MEETING BOARD MEETING? WELL, WHAT WE COULD DO IS SINCE WE'RE MEETING AGAIN ON JULY 19TH, WHY DON'T WE, UM, HAVE A, A DRAFT AGENDA FOR THE, UM, THE WORK SESSION.
SO PERHAPS THEN WE COULD MAKE A DECISION THAT WOULD STILL BE PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE, UM, YOU KNOW, A SPECIAL AN ADDITIONAL DAY OR WHATEVER IN, IN AUGUST.
ARE YOU GOOD WITH THAT TOO, DAVID? YES.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS TO BE DISCUSSED TONIGHT? ALL RIGHT.
WE'RE ADJOURNED BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT ALL IN FAVOR.
AND THANK YOU EVERYBODY FOR HANGING OUT.
