[Setting the August 2, 2021 Board Meeting]
AUGUST 3RD, A BUSINESS MEETING, THE AGENDA, TRYING TO CATCH UP.AND SO YOU CAN PUT UP THE DRAFT.
UH, LET ME JUST, UM, ALL RIGHT.
SO THE BEGINNING IS ALL THE USUAL RHETORIC.
SO OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION, WE MAY HAVE TO ALTER THE TIME WE HAVE, UH, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ITEMS UNDER THAT, AND THE WORDING WILL BE, UH, FINALIZED BY WENDY CARTLIDGE.
UM, SO WE HAVE JEAN MATTHEW, HAVE YOU HEARD FROM HIM ON ROBIN AND HE DOESN'T NEED ANY MORE THAN 30 MINUTES AND THAT INCLUDES QUESTIONS.
UM, ALL RIGHT, SO THAT'S AN ESTIMATE, 30 MINUTES, THE, UM, PERSONNEL RATIFICATION REPORT AND THE ADULT EDUCATION HOMESCHOOL REPORT.
R WHAT ABOUT R WHAT ABOUT 15 MINUTES FOR THOSE TWO? YES.
UM, I THINK I WOULD BE, UH, SHARING WITH TWO PRINCIPAL POSITIONS AND JUST DEPENDING ON HOW ONE OF THEM GOES, UH, IT COULD REQUIRE A VOTE FROM THE BOARD.
THEN WE HAVE, UM, LEGAL ADVICE.
I ASSUME THIS IS FROM WENDY OR ANOTHER ATTORNEY REGARDING A PENDING MATTER.
AND THE COUNTY LAWSUIT WITH THE AUDITOR.
THOSE TWO ARE WENDY'S WENDY'S WHAT'S THE TIME ESTIMATE FOR THOSE TWO? I WOULD SAY AT THE MOST 20 MINUTES.
SO IF, IF WE, UH, ADD THE 30, 15 AND 20 SO FAR, WE'RE 2 65 MINUTES.
UM, AND THEN WE HAVE THE, UH, ROBERT SMALLS, STEEL PACKAGE AND WHALE BRANCH, MIDDLE PHASE TWO TECHNOLOGY.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE AN HOUR AND A HALF IS CORRECT.
WOULD YOU AGREE WITH THAT? UH, DAVID.
AND ALL RIGHT, SO MALWARE, WE'RE JUST DISCUSSING THE EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEMS AND WE'VE COME TO A TOTAL OF ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF.
I THINK IT GIVES US A GOOD AMOUNT OF TIME AND THEY HAVE TO BE REWORDED.
SOME OF THEM, ANY COMMENTS ON THAT SECTION NOW? NO.
MOVING ON PUBLIC SESSION SIX WITH ACTION COMING OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION, IF NECESSARY THAN OUR USUAL AGENDA APPROVAL PLEDGE, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH POINTS OF CELEBRATION.
WHAT DO WE HAVE THERE? ROBIN MOLLY
[00:05:01]
OR DR.R DON'T N UH, KRISTIN HASN'T GIVEN ME ANYTHING, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS OR NOT.
SO WE'LL HAVE THAT AS A PLACEHOLDER.
THERE MAY WELL BE SOMETHING THERE.
UM, NUMBER TWO, THE FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS TARYN'S REPORT.
I'LL DETERMINE IF I'M GOING TO ADD SOMETHING THERE.
RIGHT NOW, DOES DAVID OR MEL HAVE ANYTHING THEY THINK WE SHOULD COVER? I SHOULD COVER.
NEXT IS THE COMMITTEE REPORTS AND WE'LL HAVE ACADEMICS AND AD HOC, BLUFFTON AD HOC RESULTS AND TECHNOLOGY WE'LL HAVE ALL MET BY THEN.
UM, SO I GUESS WE'LL KNOW WHAT WILL BE COMING OUT OF THE COMMITTEES ONCE THEY MEET.
ANY COMMENTS FOR THAT SECTION? UM, DR.
GWADAR FOR OPERATING COMMITTEE, THERE WILL BE A SPECIAL MEETING ON JULY 29TH AND THE AFO I, A QUARTERLY REPORT ALONG WITH THE O E WILL BE, UM, PRESENTED TO THE BOARD ON AUGUST 3RD.
SO FOYA AND THE REPORT AT THE FOIL AND THE QUARTERLY REPORT? YEP.
SO ROBIN WE'LL ADD THAT WE DID NO POLICY REPORTED IN THE LAST WEEK.
UM, FROM MY TWO COMMITTEES, WE COULD HAVE QUITE A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE AD HOC RESULTS.
WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT, UM, WHAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO THE BOARD FOR DR.
AND THERE MAY BE SOME, UH, DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.
STRATOSE IS GOING TO BE PRESENTING TO THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE ON THE 28TH, THE, UH, SOME BONES TO THE PLANS THAT HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED.
SO WE WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, THE FUNDING TYPE PLANS.
SO I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A HEADS UP THERE MAY VAPING CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IN BOTH OF THOSE, BUT WE WILL, WE'LL BE, UM, UH, MAKING SURE THAT THEY GET PUT IN BOARD DOCS.
KATHY, I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY THAT IN THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT, UM, THAT, THAT INFORMATION THAT'S GOING TO BE SHARED AT THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BE UNDER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
UH, AND IT'LL BE, UH, IT'LL BE A HIGHLIGHTED, UH, APPROACH FROM THAT MEETING.
SO YOU GUYS, IN THAT MEETING, UH, MANNED UP WITH A LOT OF DEPTH IN THERE AND, AND AT THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT IS GOING TO BE, UH, PROBABLY A HIGHER LEVEL, UH, REPORT AT THAT TIME, BUT COVERING, COVERING THAT SAME INFORMATION.
SO THEN THE ACADEMIC REPORT WILL JUST BE THAT THINGS WERE SHARED WITH US AND THERE IS GOING TO BE A REPORT LATER IN YOUR REPORT.
AND I WAS THINKING ALSO FOR THE AD HOC RESULTS, THERE'S A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT, ABOUT THE INSTRUMENT, ET CETERA.
WE COULD THINK ABOUT IT AND THEN BRING THE VOTE BACK AT THE NEXT BUSINESS MEETING OF AUGUST, WHATEVER IT IS, 13TH OR 15TH OR SOMETHING AROUND THERE.
IS IT, IS IT THE 17TH THE NEXT WEEK? 17TH.
ANY, ANY FURTHER COMMENTS, UH, ON THIS SECTION, THE COMMITTEE REPORTS.
WE'LL MOVE ON THERE BEING NONE.
WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
RA ARE YOU, CAN YOU SEE THE AGENDA? OKAY.
SO WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD WITH YOUR SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT COMMENTS? YEP.
SO IN THE SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT UNDER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, UH, WE'RE GONNA, UH, IT'S GONNA BE CALLED DIVING INTO 2021.
[00:10:01]
AND, AND THEN, UM, UM, THAT'LL BE, AS I MENTIONED, UH, UM, ALSO COVERED IN THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE, BUT, UH, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA, WE'RE GONNA PRESENT IT HERE.AND THEN UNDER FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY, UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UH, UH, THE REQUEST FROM THE BOARD WAS ON THE SR APPLICATION, I THINK, AT THE LAST MEETING.
SO WE'RE GOING TO COVER THAT, UM, IN THAT SECTION.
ANY COMMENTS ON THAT SECTION? UH, WELL, YEAH.
UH, ARE YOU GOING TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT NEXT YEAR'S SCHOOL ENTRY? I MEAN, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT LIKE, UH, UH, ANY KIND OF PROTOCOLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
PROTOCOLS, UH, ADAPTABILITY POSSIBLE ADAPTABILITY, IS THAT, UM, WELL WHAT WILL TRIGGER CHANGES, BUT WHAT, WHAT YOU EXPECTING TO BE THE OPENING? YES, I CAN, I CAN DO THAT.
UM, WE'LL LIST THAT UNDER OTHER MATTERS AND WE'LL, UH, UH, UH, LET'S JUST CALL IT, UH, UH, SCHOOL OPENING AND, UH, UH, SCHOOL OPENING.
AND THEN WE'LL TALK ABOUT PROTOCOLS UNDER THAT.
DOES THAT WORK? YEAH, THAT'LL WORK.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, KNOWS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AS YOU, AS, AS WE OPEN.
R DID YOU, I SENT YOU A ARTICLE ABOUT THAT TODAY.
I SAW THAT, BUT HERE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, WE'VE GOT AN EXECUTIVE ORDER.
SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE CAN, WE CAN, WE CAN DO, WELL, THIS IS INAPPROPRIATE HERE.
SO SORRY, BUT THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO TALK ABOUT.
WHAT, OBVIOUSLY WHAT WE HAVE IN PLACE IN SOUTH CAROLINA, WHAT WE HAVE TO FALL OFF.
SO UNDER BOARD BUSINESS ACTION, UM, WE HAVE BASICALLY TWO ITEMS, BUT THERE'S TWO BONDS THAT WE HAVE TO DETERMINE, UH, UH, THAT THOSE WERE PRESENTED ALREADY AND FINANCE COMMITTEE ABOUT, UH, REFINANCING FOR COST SAVINGS.
SO, SO BRIAN NORICK OF COMPASS, WE'LL BE HERE FOR THAT PART.
AND THEN THE DISCUSSION OF THE AUGUST WORK SESSION.
WE HAVE TO DETERMINE IF WE NEED ANOTHER DATE FOR THE WORK SESSION, BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE, I BELIEVE IT'S FRIDAY, AUGUST 27TH, THE RESERVED AN AUGUST 28TH IS A SATURDAY.
AND A NUMBER OF US ARE ATTENDING THE, UM, LAW CONFERENCE THROUGH THE SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION.
SO THAT WILL NOT BE A GOOD SECOND DAY FOR THE WORK SESSION.
SO WE JUST NEED TO DETERMINE IF A SECOND DAY IS INDICATED AND THAT WE MIGHT DETERMINE ACTUALLY, I HAVE A GOOD IDEA ABOUT THAT AFTER YOU SET THE AGENDA, WHICH YOU WE'RE GOING TO DO IN JUST A MINUTE.
UM, SO I MIGHT SUGGEST SWITCHING THE ORDER THERE, SINCE THE BONDS ARE GOING TO BE AN OUTSIDE, UM, PRESENTER AND DO THE WORK, THE DISCUSSION OF, UH, AUGUST WORK SESSION AS THE THIRD ITEM.
AND I WOULD RECOMMEND ALSO THAT WE PUT BRIAN NORICKS NAME AND COMPANY THERE.
SO PEOPLE, THE PUBLIC KNOWS, YOU KNOW, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SPEAKER THERE.
SO WE'LL GO ON TO THE CONSENT AGENDA.
UH, WE'VE GOT MEETING MINUTES TO BE APPROVED AND THEN EVERYTHING ELSE AFTER THAT IS OUR STANDARD USUAL, UH, ITEMIZATION.
SO, UM, ANY FURTHER COMMENTS ON, ON OUR AGENDA FOR AUGUST 3RD? DO WE HAVE ANY LOOSE ENDS THAT WERE REQUESTED FOR THE SPEEDING? OH YEAH.
WELL ACTUALLY, UM, WE DO, LET ME JUST QUICKLY LOOK AND YOU CAN BRING UP A HINT OF FUTURE AGENDA TOPICS.
UM, WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE AD HOC RESULTS STUFF.
[00:15:02]
UM, AND THE ONLY OTHER, OTHER, UM, TOPIC WAS ONE THAT TRICIA JUST SUBMITTED A FEW MINUTES AGO, ASKING FOR AN UPDATE ON THE EDUCATIONAL REAL ESTATE CONSULTANT.R THAT COULD BE SOMETHING UNDER OTHER MATTERS ON THIS MEETING, BECAUSE I SUSPECT THAT'S GOING TO BE A REAL QUICK UPDATE.
SO RA I HAVE TWO UNDER OTHER MATTERS WHILE SCHOOL OPENINGS, AND WE'LL HAVE, SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE EDUCATIONAL LAND CONSULTANT.
SO THAT WILL GO ON THIS AGENDA AS YOUR SECOND ITEM UNDER, UM, OTHER MATTERS AFTER THE SCHOOL REOPENING.
I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ONLY ONE WE REALLY HAVE OUT THERE FOR RIGHT NOW.
SO YOU HAVE YOUR IREADY UPDATE, OPERATING LEVY, FISCAL AUTONOMY, VIRTUAL SCHOOL FOR NEXT YEAR, STILL TESTING THE, I DIDN'T SEE THE, I DIDN'T SEE THAT THERE WAS A BACK TO THIS.
UH, I NOTICED THAT YOU SAID THAT, UH, THAT THEY WILL BE ALSO, MOST OF THEM, THERE WILL BE A SCHOOL UPDATE, AN OPENING AS IN VIRTUAL SCHOOL AS WELL.
IS THAT CORRECT? WE DIDN'T SPECIFY WHICH TYPE OF SCHOOL, BUT YES, THAT WOULD BE INCLUDED.
AND I JUST ASKED, BECAUSE I HAVE GOTTEN A LARGER PART OF PARENTS ASKING ME QUESTIONS ABOUT THE REOPENING OF SCHOOL.
AND WAS THAT, WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? YEP.
SO THE OTHER THINGS THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY BE INCLUDED ARE THE SECOND PAGE HERE.
UM, LET'S SEE, DAVID OR, UM, MALE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT ALL THESE? WELL, YOU SAID THE AGENDA IS PACKED FOR NOW.
SOME OF THOSE THINGS HAVE BEEN ON BEFORE AND WE'VE DISCUSSED IT.
SO I DON'T HAVE ANY COMMENT ADDING ANYTHING ELSE ON NOW.
I THINK A COUPLE OF THOSE THINGS WILL BE ADDRESSED DURING THE MEETING.
UM, KATHY, UM, I, THAT WE HAD TALKED BEFORE ABOUT PUTTING FISCAL AUTONOMY AND OPERATING LEVY ON WORK SESSION AGENDA.
UM, I KNOW WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FISCAL AUTONOMY A COUPLE OF TIMES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEP IS, BUT I THOUGHT THAT WE HAD INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED SOME DISCUSSION, MORE DISCUSSION AND MOOD GO ON TO WORK, WORK SESSION TOPICS.
SO I'M JUST A RECOLLECTION, FIRST OF ALL, TOM WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED AND I WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT IT UP AGAIN, AND IT DOES NOT NEED TO BE ON THE AUGUST 3RD AGENDA.
WE GOT PLENTY ON THERE ALREADY.
UH, MY SUGGESTION WAS THAT GO ON A WORK SESSION.
OH YEAH, I THINK SO, BECAUSE I THOUGHT, YEAH, YES, MR. SMITH, YOUR HAND IS UP.
[Discussion of any other Board Meeting Agendas]
MOVE ON TO OUR WORK SESSION AND THIS WE KNOW ONE DATE IS FRIDAY THE SEVENTH 27TH.AND DO YOU HAVE A, YEAH, HERE WE GO.
SO THESE ARE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAD, RIGHT? THOSE ARE THE THINGS I ALREADY HAD ON THERE.
SO SOME OF THESE ARE ALSO ON THE FUTURE TOPICS SHEET.
WELL, I DEFINITELY THINK WE NEED MR. BRIAN NEURO PROGRAM PRESENTATION.
[00:20:02]
AND I BELIEVE DR.ART, DIDN'T YOU TELL ME, YOU THOUGHT THAT WOULD TAKE MAYBE 90 MINUTES? UM, UH, FURTHER CONVERSATION IT'S JUST AN HOUR.
SO, UM, THAT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD THING TO START WITH, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT'S AN OUTSIDE SPEAKER AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT REQUIRES, YOU KNOW, A CONSIDERABLE ATTENTION FROM THE BOARD MEMBERS.
SO WHAT ELSE DO YOU THINK? I MEAN, TO ME, ABSOLUTELY.
THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN IS CRITICAL AND WE WE'VE GOT DR.
HE SHOWED US A AS I RECALL A PAGE WITH HIS DATES AND WHATNOT, BUT THAT WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, MAYBE TWO OR THREE MONTHS AGO.
SO I HAVE IT AS A DRAFT IF YOU WILL.
SO THAT'S SOMETHING I DEFINITELY THINK SHOULD BE ON THIS DAY.
I JUST WANT TO ASK QUESTION ABOUT ROTC, HAVE ANYONE, UM, THOUGHT ABOUT THE DISCUSSING WHEN, UM, ROTC PROGRAM.
THAT IS SOMETHING THAT, UH, FIRST OF ALL, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S IN THE WORKS ALREADY.
UM, SO, SO THAT CAN BE PART OF THIS.
I THINK THIS WAS A REQUEST FROM MS. MIDDLETON, UH, ON THE, UH, UH, SORT OF, UH, CAREER AND TECHNICAL ED TYPE OF, UH, TYPE OF OVERVIEW FROM THE DISTRICT.
AND SO IF WE DID THAT, THAT WOULD BE CERTAINLY SOMETHING WE WOULD COVER.
IT DOES TAKE SOME TIME TO GET THOSE PROGRAMS IN PLACE SO THAT THE BALL HAS ALREADY BEEN PUT IN MOTION ON THAT.
SO IT'S JUST, UH, UH, IT TAKES TIME.
IT TAKES ABOUT, UH, UM, ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF ACTUALLY WITH THE, WITH THEM.
SO, SO THAT BALL'S ALREADY PUT IN MOTION.
MR. DISTRIBUTOR, UM, ON THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN, UM, MOST OF THEM ALWAYS HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED YET.
SO WOULD THIS APPROVAL INCLUDE, UH, APPROVING ALL THE OES THAT WOULD BE IN THE, THERE WOULD BE IN THE WORK PLAN BECAUSE IF THAT'S THE CASE, THAT'S GOING TO BE A LONG TOPIC.
UH, IF THAT'S NOT THE CASE, I'M NOT SURE HOW WE COULD IMPROVE THE WORK PLAN WITHOUT HAVING APPROVED, UH, THE MEASUREMENTS.
WELL, I'LL JUST RESPOND TO THAT.
I WAS THINKING THE WORK PLAN IS, IS, YOU KNOW, WHEN THE, WHEN THE, UM, OES ARE GONNA COME FORWARD AND I DIDN'T THINK IT NECESSARILY HAD TO MEAN THAT ALL OF THEM WERE APPROVED AT THIS POINT.
I WAS THINKING, THIS IS THE, THE TIMELINE FOR WHEN WE'RE, WHEN DR.
R WILL BRING FORWARD EACH OF THEM.
I MEAN, I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO, WE MAY NEED TO HAVE SOME SPECIAL MEETING IF WE'RE GOING TO TRY TO APPROVE A LOT OF OES AT ONCE.
I THINK THAT DOES TO APPROVE THE SCHEDULE.
SO ANOTHER TOPIC THAT SEEMS TIMELY WOULD BE THE OES 17, NINE, THE DISTRICT'S DISASTER PLAN, CAUSE THAT INCLUDES HURRICANE AND STORMS AND THAT THOSE HAVE EFFECTED US, UH, IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, MANY IN ACTUALLY SEPTEMBER EARLY SEPTEMBER.
SO THAT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD BE A GOOD TOPIC TO COVER.
UM, I JUST BROUGHT UP THE WORK PLAN IF YOU WANTED TO SEE WHAT THE WORK PLAN LOOKED LIKE.
IF I DON'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS, BUT EXACTLY.
THAT'S YEAH, THAT REALLY, WE COULDN'T AGREE THAT THAT SCHEDULE SHOULD LOOK LIKE THAT.
UM, SO NEXT IS WHAT ELSE DO YOU GUYS, OR ANYBODY, I MEAN, ANY OF THE NON COMMITTEE MEMBERS DO YOU THINK NEEDS TO BE COVERED ON AUGUST 27 FRIDAY? RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THREE ITEMS. WE HAVE THE DEBT PROGRAM
[00:25:01]
PRESENTATION COMPASS, THAT ANNUAL WORK PLAN DRAFT DR.R THE 1 17 9, THE DISTRICT DISASTER PLAN.
UM, TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE ANOTHER GOOD THING WOULD BE THAT KATE OVERVIEW, UM, OR THE, OR WE COULD TALK ABOUT THE OPERATING LEVY, UM, OR THE FISCAL AUTONOMY WITH THE NEXT STEPS.
OH, ALONG WITH THIS, THE THINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW, HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE? WELL, WE S OKAY, SO THE DEBT WE HAVE ONE HOUR, UM, THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN.
R THE GENERATED A LOT OF DISCUSSION LAST TIME.
I MEAN, I'M GOING TO GO BACK AND REVIEW THE MINUTES AND, AND, UH, AND THE VIDEO OF THAT SESSION, BUT IT DID GENERATE A LOT OF DISCUSSION.
SO IT WAS ABOUT A TWO HOUR CONVERSATION.
WELL, HOW ABOUT IF WE GIVE IT ONE HOUR? YEAH, YEAH.
AND THEN HOW ABOUT THE 17 NINE, THE DISTRICT DISASTER PLAN? YOU KNOW, I WOULD SAY, UH, PROBABLY LIKE A 30 MINUTE A PIECE AND THEN, AND THEN SOME QUESTIONS.
SO, YOU KNOW, WHAT I MAY TRY TO DO IS, IS, UH, GET TOGETHER WITH, UH, SOME OF THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS, TWO NEW BOARD MEMBERS, AND JUST TRY TO BRING THEM, YOU KNOW, TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT SO THAT, UH, UH, THAT MIGHT HELP THEM, UH, AT THAT JUNCTURE.
SO, SO THERE MAY NOT BE AS MANY QUESTIONS.
SO THEN, ALL RIGHT, WELL, IF WE DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT, CATO OVERVIEW, THE TOP, UM, ITEM THERE, AND MR. EARL CAMPBELL ASKED ABOUT ONE OF THE ITEMS LISTED THERE.
SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU GOT TWO HOURS AND 45 MINUTES ALREADY.
SO WE COULD DO THE, WE DON'T REMEMBER ON THE AGENDA.
WE DON'T WANT TO SPECIFY SPECIFIC TIMES BECAUSE THEN WE CAN'T JUST TRYING TO GET A GAUGE.
SO MAYBE THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST THING AFTER LUNCH, BUT WE WON'T PUT IT THAT WAY.
AND WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WOULD BE AN HOUR? YES, I DO.
UH, MR. CAMPBELL, UM, WHEN YOU MENTIONED TWO, UH, TWO HOURS AND 45 MINUTES, YOU WERE REFERENCING, UH, THE DEBT PROGRAM, THE DISASTER PLAN AND THE ANNUAL WORK PLAN.
AND THEN, AND THEN THIS WOULD BE, UH, UH, SO PROBABLY ANOTHER HOUR AND THIS ONE WOULD BE AFTER LUNCH.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? OKAY, GOT IT.
SO I DON'T KNOW, TO ME, IT SEEMED LIKE IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ALSO OPERATING LEVY AND FISCAL AUTONOMY, FISCAL FISCAL AUTONOMY.
WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED A FEW TIMES.
SO I REALLY THINK WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH WHAT'S THE NEXT STEPS.
I THINK I KNOW WHAT THE NEXT STEPS ARE, BUT, UM, AND THE OPERATING LEVY, I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT.
THAT'S WHAT, UH, I BELIEVE RACHEL BROUGHT IT FORWARD.
DOCTOR, UM, I THINK WHEN SHE'S REFERENCING OPERATING LEVY, SHE MADE A, UH, A REFERENCE TO FLORIDA AND, AND IN FLORIDA, THAT WAS SOMETHING LIKE A PENNY SALES TAX THAT WAS DONE AS AN EXAMPLE.
UH, BUT, BUT IN FLORIDA, WE WERE ABLE TO DO THINGS WITH IT THAT WE CAN'T DO HERE.
IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING WE CAN'T DO HERE.
UH, BUT IT BE THAT THAT MAY BE THE DISCUSSION, RIGHT.
I MEAN, ALL RIGHT, THAT WE, UM, YOU KNOW, VOTE AND APPROVE AND WRITE A LETTER TO OUR, OUR DELEGATION OR WHATEVER.
WHICH I ALSO THINK FISCAL AUTONOMY.
SO I THINK THOSE ARE TWO GOOD THINGS TO INCLUDE TOGETHER.
WHEN WE DO FISCAL AUTONOMY, CAN WE MAKE A
[00:30:01]
FISCAL AUTONOMY NEXT STEP? THAT WAY WE CAN AVOID THE LECTURE, YOU KNOW, WHY WE NEED IT AND JUST FOCUS ON THE NEXT STEP.HOW MUCH TIME? I WOULD SAY THE TWO TOGETHER, MAYBE AT MOST AN HOUR.
SO THAT'S TAKING US TO ROUGHLY, I'M JUST EASIER JUST TO ESTIMATE.
SO THAT WOULD BE, LET'S SAY, UM, WE HAD LUNCH FROM QUARTER OF 12 TO 1230, SO, OR, OR LET'S GIVE IT A WHOLE HOUR.
UM, SO WE HAVE TIME FOR ANOTHER TOPIC OR TWO WHAT'S ANY, UH, PREFERENCE BY, BY ANY THAT ARE IN ATTENDANCE OR DR.
R I THINK I REALLY UPDATE WILL CERTAINLY, IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO GENERATE A CONVERSATION.
UM, SO WORK SESSION WOULD BE A GOOD PLACE TO HAVE IT SET UP A BOARD MEETING.
EVERYBODY HAS, HAS SOME IDEA ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT OUT OF THAT.
SO HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU THINK AN HOUR? YEAH, I WOULD, I WOULD SLOT AN HOUR FOR IT.
UM, YOU KNOW, I WAS LOOKING AT THAT, I READ THE UPDATE AND I THINK IF WE'RE GOING TO PUT IT ON THE AGENDA, THAT THERE SHOULD BE SOME GUIDANCE GIVEN, WHAT EXACTLY DO WE WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IREADY? WE JUST HAD A PRESENTATION ON IREADY.
THERE WAS DATA PRESENTED IN THAT PRESENTATION.
SO IF WE WANT AN UPDATE, THERE'S NOT, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE BACK IN SCHOOL YET WELL WEEK.
SO I JUST THINK THAT, UM, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO SPECIFY WHAT EXACTLY WE WANT TO KNOW.
I CONCUR ON WAS YOU PUT IT IN FUTURE TOPICS AS A DEEPER DIVE.
DAD, I THINK INCLUDED THE DISCUSSION ON THE, ABOUT EVIDENTIAL, UH, INFORMATION CATEGORY, LIKE DEMOGRAPHICS AND GROWTH AND STUFF LIKE THAT IN TERMS OF THE HISTORY.
I KNOW THAT KIND OF STARTED THE DISCUSSION ABOUT A DEEPER DIVE.
SO I, YOU KNOW, I, FOR INTUITION AND DR.
STRADDLES IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY CAN ADD TO WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW.
RODRIGUEZ? UH, NO, NOT REALLY.
OTHER THAN I DO AGREE WITH KATHY THAT, UM, THAT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL RIGHT.
TO, TO PINPOINT, UM, YOU KNOW, THE SPECIFIC OF WHAT THE BOARD, UH, IS LOOKING FOR OUT OF IT.
UM, YOU KNOW, SO, SO I CAN REACH OUT TO DR.
WAS NEVSKY AND, AND HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH HER AS TO WHAT HER INTENT WAS WHEN SHE, WHEN SHE PLACED IT ON THERE.
AND, UH, SO THAT WE CAN TARGET, UH, THE QUESTION THAT WAS POSED AROUND IT.
I THINK IF I RECALL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT SHE'S INTERESTED IN IS THE SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS THAT COME WITH, UM, IREADY AND, AND, UH, UH, IF YOU REMEMBER, HE REFERENCED A BOOK RELATED TO IREADY AND, AND, UH, THE TOOLBOX, THE TOOLKIT, I'M SORRY, THE TOOL KIT THAT COMES WITH IT.
SO, UH, BUT I WILL CONFIRM, YOU KNOW, SPECIFICALLY WHATEVER IT IS SHE'S LOOKING FOR, UH, AND THEN GO FROM THERE, BUT THAT'S HELPFUL.
KATHY'S HANDS UP, KATHY, GO AHEAD.
UM, I THINK THAT WHAT MEL SAID IS ALSO TRUE THAT SHE WAS INTERESTED IN SOME DEMOGRAPHIC DATA.
UM, WE JUST HAVE TO REMEMBER THOUGH, THAT I READY HAS ONLY BEEN USED WITH SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS UP UNTIL THIS POINT.
SO ANY DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WE HAVE WOULD BE REFLECTING
[00:35:01]
THE STUDENTS AND MAYBE IF, UM, IF IT'S THE TOOL BOX AND THAT TYPE OF THING THAT RACHEL'S INTERESTED IN, MAYBE WE HAVE A DEMONSTRATION WHERE WE ACTUALLY, THOSE THINGS ARE SHOWN TO US WHAT'S AVAILABLE IN IREADY.THOSE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS, DAVID.
THIS COULD BE A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY WHEN THIS TOPIC COMES UP FOR RITA RE-EMPHASIZE THAT WE FOCUS ON RESULTS.
NOW, CHRIS, THE DEEPER DIVE INTO HOW HIGH READY WORKS IS REALLY, WE ALL WANT TO KNOW THAT OUT OF CURIOSITY, BUT THAT'S NOT OUR MISSION.
UM, SO I MEAN, I WOULD CERTAINLY PREFACE THIS WITH A REMINDER OF THAT.
UM, BECAUSE WHAT I HEARD WAS IN A REVIEW OF SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIALS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, I'M JUST NOT SURE THAT THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE USE OF OUR TIME.
UM, MALE, UH, I DON'T THINK THAT WAS THEIR INTENT AT ALL.
I THINK HER INTENT WAS WHY ARE WE SPENDING THESE DOLLARS A MONTH FOR, FOR IREADY? AND IS IT A PROVEN TO, IS IT A PROVEN TOOL, ESPECIALLY THE DIRECTION THAT WE'D LIKE TO GO IN AND IMPROVING THE, THE, UH, DIFFERENT SUBGROUPS AND THE RESULTS OF THOSE DIFFERENT SUBGROUPS.
AND WE WANTED SOME EVIDENCE THAT THESE SUBGROUPS HAVE BEEN SERVICED NATIONALLY, WHICH DR.
STRATAS ALLUDED TO THAT IS USED NATIONALLY IN OTHER AREAS WE ARE GOING INTO, AS OPPOSED TO THOSE SPECIAL NEEDS INFORMATION OR DATA BASE THAT WE HAVE CREATED.
THERE ARE OTHER DATABASES THAT SHE CAN YO, THAT MAKES IT A GOODBYE.
THAT WAS, THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING OF THAT EXCHANGE DURING THE MEETING.
SO WHY DON'T WE, IT SEEMS LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, I THINK DR.
HE'S GONNA REACH OUT TO RACHEL.
UM, WE WANT THE, THE DISCUSSION, YOU KNOW, UH, LIMITED TO, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE WE GONNA, YOU KNOW, SEEM FOR C FROM THIS AND THE RESULTS AND THE, UM, AND THE COST, ET CETERA.
IT SEEMS LIKE, UH, THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE BOARD.
YOU HEARD WHAT WAS DISCUSSED? YES, I HAVE.
I THINK MEL HIT IT RIGHT ON THE HEAD.
THIS WOULD BE A DISCUSSION OF THE RESULTS WE WANT TO SEE AND WHERE WE WANT THOSE RESULTS STRATIFIED.
THAT WOULD BE A LEGITIMATE CONVERSATION FOR US.
SO WE HAVE PROBABLY ONE OTHER, YOU KNOW, THIS IS NOW THREE 30, SO, UM, WE HAVE PROBABLY TIME FOR ONE OTHER TOPIC.
WOULD THE DISCIPLINARY MATRIX, I'M NOT SURE WHEN THAT CAME OFF.
THAT'S BEEN, THAT'S BEEN ON OUR FEATURE TOPICS FOR A WHILE.
AND WHAT WOULD THAT BE LIKE AN HOUR? THAT'S THE FOUR 30 MR. MEL CAMPBELL, WHAT WILL IT BE ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
I UNDERSTAND POSSIBILITIES ABOUT IT, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH IT, ALL THAT WE MAY BE BETTER SERVED, BUT THAT BEING PRESENTED AT A FUTURE TIME WHEN WE GATHERING NEW DATA FOR THIS YEAR, IT'S GOING TO BE HARD TO, TO GAIN ANYTHING FROM INFORMATION FROM LAST YEAR OR THE LAST TWO YEARS, EVEN IN TERMS OF THIS MATRIX.
I AGREE, MEL CAUSE LAST YEAR WAS SO BARREN.
SO THAT'S WHY I, YOU KNOW, I GUESS THIS WOULD BE ENOUGH TIME TO LIMIT THE DISCUSSION TO SOMETHING, IGNORE IT.
BUT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT REALLY THEY'RE LOOKING FOR WITH THAT.
RODRIGUEZ, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ABOUT THAT? I AGREE WITH MEL.
I MEAN, ANY KIND OF, YOU KNOW, DISCIPLINE DATA OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT FROM, UH, FROM THE, UH, 20, 20 SCHOOL YEAR IS DEFINITELY SKEWED WITH THE LAST QUARTER.
AND THEN ANYTHING LAST YEAR IS DEFINITELY SKEWED WITH
[00:40:01]
HALF OF THE YEAR, YOU KNOW, AND, AND EVEN MORE SO THE FACT THAT MANY STUDENTS, EVEN UNTIL THE END, WE'RE STILL, UH, VIRTUAL.SO I, I AGREE WITH WHAT HE'S SAYING.
SO WHY DON'T WE WAIT, NOT HAVE IT ON THIS AGENDA AND DO IT DOWN THE ROAD, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO IT SEEMS LIKE WE GOT A GOOD FIT AGENDA HERE.
ANY, ANY OTHER, UM, INPUT FROM ANYONE THE STUDENT TESTINGS OUT OF IEP IS, DO YOU WANT ME TO TAKE THAT OFF OF THIS ONE AND JUST LEAVE IT ON FUTURE TOPICS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ENTAILS.
I WOULDN'T AGREE WITH THAT TAKING IT OFF.
I HAVE A QUESTION, MR. SMITH, MR. SMITH, YOU SAID STUDENTS.
W WHAT WAS THAT? UH, W W WHAT, W WHAT WAS THAT TOPIC WE WERE TALKING ABOUT TICKING OFF THIS.
NOW IT WAS LISTED AS TESTING OUT OF IEP.
UH, YEAH, I THINK THAT'S BASICALLY, I BELIEVE THAT, UH, THAT, THAT WAS UPDATE.
UM, RACHEL, RACHEL HAD REQUESTED THAT THE PROCESS OF HOSPITAL TESTING OUT OF IEP, THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HANDLED ON THIS BOARD SESSION.
I DO WANT TO SAY, AND I'M, I'M JUST SAYING, STATING THAT I THINK THAT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SHOULD HOLD OFF, BUT I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, THAT COULD BE, UM, COULD BE, COULD BE ON THE, UH, ON POSSIBLY EVEN THE SECOND DAY.
SO, UM, DAVID, DO YOU WANT TO COMMENT? WE MIGHT NOT HAVE A SECOND DAY, RIGHT.
WE DON'T HAVE A SECOND, CORRECT.
LET ME CLARIFY THAT THE SECOND DAY IS, UH, IT'S, UH, A LOT OF US ARE GOING TO THE, UM, UH, LAW CONFERENCE IN CHARLESTON, KATHY.
UM, YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE GONNA HAVE THAT ON THEIR STUDENTS TESTING OUT OF IEP SHEET, OR REALLY DON'T TEST OUT ABOUT UPS.
UM, SO THAT'S KIND OF A MISNOMER IT'S MAYBE THE IEP PROCESS OR, UH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BUT IT REALLY DON'T TEST OUT OF IEP PIECE.
WELL, THAT, THAT IT'D BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE GOOD TO BRING, BRING FORTH AS WELL.
UM, AND ALSO, UM, MAYBE IF, IF SOMEONE, IF SOME PEOPLE WILL BE GOING TO SOME OF US, WE'VE GOT A LOW CONFERENCE, THEN MAYBE WE MIGHT NEED TO SWITCH, SWITCH A WEEKEND FOR THE, FOR THIS MEAN THAT MAYBE WE DIDN'T REALIZE THAT THE LAW WOULD BE THAT WEEKEND.
MAYBE THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING TOO, THAT THE BOARD WOULD BE OPEN, OPEN SO THAT WE CAN MAKE GOOD USE OF OUR, OF OUR TIME, MR. EARL CAMPBELL.
UM, HOW WILL SUGGEST THAT THEY'RE TESTING FOR SUICIDE? UH, SOME OF US DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT, HOW, HOW THIS WORKS.
MAYBE WE CAN HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE DISTRICT STAFF COME AND GIVE A PRESENTATION.
SOME WILL HAVE TO BE DISCUSSING THIS.
SO, UM, IT LOOKS LIKE JUST SO THE THREE OF US THAT ARE THE VOTING MEMBERS OF THE CURRENT OF THIS COMMITTEE, DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR, UM, HAVING THIS ON OR OFF THE AGENDA? PERSONALLY? I AGREE WITH THAT EARL AND THAT MOST FOLKS DAWN ON US THAT LINE, KATHY, MOST FOLKS DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS OF HOW THE IEP WORKS.
[00:45:02]
AND I THINK THAT TAT HAVE THIS CONCERN FROM RATIO, AND I'M NOT SPEAKING FOR HER, BUT I'M TRYING TO JUST RECOLLECT.SHE WANTED TO KNOW HOW SPECIFIC DISABILITIES WERE CHANGED FROM A DISABILITY OF SUPPORT SYSTEM, TO SOMETHING OF A LESSER SUPPORT SYSTEM AND HOW THAT IMPACTED OUR USE OF RESOURCE OVER THAT TIME PERIOD.
AND I, YOU KNOW, I KNOWING A LOT ABOUT THAT AND KNOWING THAT THAT INFORMATION WILL PROBABLY JUST BE A KIND OF, UH, UH, SUPERFICIAL, YOU KNOW, INFORMATION IN TERMS OF HOW WE CAN USE IT, UH, MAY NEED THAT AS IN A BOARD MEETING PRESENTED BY US BY THE SPECIAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT.
THAT'S WHERE I LOOK, THAT'S WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS TOPIC, BUT, YOU KNOW, IT'S UP TO YOU.
I ASSUME THAT IF WE ARE GOING TO GET ANYTHING OUT OF IT, IT'S GOING TO TAKE MORE THAN, THAN AN HOUR TO DIVE INTO ALL THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF IDPS AND WHICH ONES, YOU KNOW, CAN CHANGE AND TRANSFER.
SO IT'S A LOT OF STUFF THERE TO GET WHAT RACHEL REALLY WANTED TO KNOW FROM THE START ONE, HOW SHOULD I LABEL? I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU SHOULD LABEL HAVE A BETTER CATHETER IF YOU WERE GOING TO LABEL IT.
I, I WOULD, UH, I WOULD LABEL IT AROUND THE MTSS AND RTI PROCESS, UH, BECAUSE, BECAUSE, UH, YOU KNOW, IN TERMS OF SHIFTING SUPPORT LEVELS, THERE'S TYPICALLY DATA COLLECTED AND IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROCESS.
CAUSE RTI IS A RESPONSE TO INTERVENTION, RIGHT? SO YOU'RE PROVIDING A CERTAIN LEVEL OF SUPPORT.
AND THEN YOUR DATA IS TELLING YOU THAT IT'S EITHER WORKING OR NOT WORKING.
AND THEN YOU, THEN YOU MOVE TO THE NEXT STEP OR, OR WHAT HAVE YOU.
R AS BEING SOMETHING, I MEAN, AS, AS DAVID IS VERY GOOD ABOUT, UH, HAVING US FOCUS ON RESULTS? I MEAN, I MEAN, I THINK IT'S OKAY TO HAVE AN OVERVIEW MAYBE, BUT I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO GET INTO ALL THE LITTLE LAST DETAILS.
I DON'T THINK THAT'S FOR US TO, WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE MAKING DECISIONS.
I DON'T THINK ON THOSE LAST LITTLE DETAILS UNLESS I'M MISSING SOMETHING.
NO, BUT, UH, I UNDERSTAND WHAT MEL IS SAYING.
UM, MEL IS NOW IS I BELIEVE MEL IS, AND CATHY ARE, ARE BOTH CORRECT IN WHAT THEY'RE SAYING.
AND I THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, IT, IT WILL SPAWN INTO DIFFERENT QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE AROUND SPECIAL ED AND, UH, AND MTSS AND RTI, UNLESS WE'RE VERY DISCIPLINED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE ASKING ABOUT TO STAY FOCUSED ON THE RESULTS AND, AND THAT KIND OF THING.
SO DOES EITHER MEL OR, UM, DAVID WANT TO MAKE A MOTION ABOUT WHETHER TO INCLUDE IT OR NOT? IT WOULD BE THE THREE 30 TO FOUR 30 TIMES BLOCK.
CAUSE WE STILL HAVE THAT ON THIS AGENDA.
I'M MOVING, MOVE IT OFF OVER THE AGENDA.
ANY DISCUSSION MR. SMITH, CAN YOU PUT YOUR HAND DOWN AND THEN BACK UP IF YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ON THIS TOPIC, PLEASE.
SO NOW YOU'RE GOING TO TALK, TALK ABOUT WHAT'S ON THE MOTION ON THE TABLE.
WHEN DID YOU MOVE IN THE MOTION, MR. CAMPBELL? YOU SAID YOU WERE MOVING OFF.
ARE YOU PUTTING THIS ON THE AGENDA AT THE WORK SESSION OR USED TO, I USUALLY YOU TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE WORK SESSION.
I TOOK IT OFF BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WHAT THAT 10TH OF THE CONVERSATION OF RACIAL WANTED WOULD BE SUFFICED AND THE SHORT TIME OF THE WORK SESSION.
BUT I ALSO THINK THAT THERE'S SO MUCH INFORMATION THAT WE DON'T REALLY NEED AND THAT PRESENTATION UNTIL WE NEED TO HAVE RACIALLY DEFINED WHAT INFORMATION WOULD BE PREGNANT.
AND I THINK HER MIND AND HER MINDSET AND SHE CAN SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
AND SHE WANTED TO KNOW THE, SOME OF THOSE CATEGORIES, HOW MUCH CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THE TIME PERIOD AND NOT NECESSARILY KNOW
[00:50:02]
TO GENERAL SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN THAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, THE OCCUPATIONAL HANDICAP, THOSE ARE FOR THE MOST PART.AND THAT'S, THAT'S A DIFFERENT, YOU KNOW, CATEGORY.
WELL, I THINK THAT WHEN IT COMES TO, I THINK THAT THE WHOLE KITTEN CABOODLE WILL BE VERY INFORMATIVE TO THE COMMUNITY.
AND I, I THINK THAT WE SHOULD DO THAT EVEN IF AN HOUR IS NOT.
I THINK THAT WE SHOULD, THAT WE DID THAT WE COULD GIVE IT MORE TIME, UM, TO, UH, I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GIVE THAT, TO GIVE THAT A LITTLE MORE TIME IF THEIR TIME IS WHAT WOULD BE NEEDED.
UM, I'M DEFINITELY, UM, CONCERN IF WE PULL IT OFF BECAUSE, UM, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE PROCESS OF EVOLVE, BASICALLY THE PROCESSES OF ALL OF, ALL OF THAT IS A, IS A CONCERN OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE, IN THE, IN THE, IN THE PROCESS WILL BE ALSO A PART OF OUR JOB AS EDUCATORS EDUCATING FROM REGINA, EDUCATING OURSELVES AS WELL.
SO, UM, I'M DEFINITELY NOT IN SUPPORT OF TAKING IT OFF.
I AGREE WITH TAKING OFF ON OF OUR LOOSE ITEMS, COULD WE LEAVE THE ORIGINAL WORDING AND FRANCIS WERE CHANGED AT THE MTSS AND RTI PROCESS THAT WE PUT BACK RACHEL'S ORIGINAL WORDING JUST IN CASE WE MISUNDERSTOOD WHAT SHE WANTED TO REMEMBER, WHAT IT WAS.
IEP IS TESTING, TESTING OUT OF IEP.
THAT'LL GIVE US THE LINK BACK TO THE SHORT.
RODRIGUEZ RODRIGUEZ GAVE US, CAN WE, UH, CAN WE PUT THAT UP ON, ON THE, UNDER, UH, UNDER THIS AS WELL? YES, THEY'RE BOTH THERE NOW.
UM, SO MS. CAMPBELL, SO, SO YOU, SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT IF I'M HEARING THIS CORRECTLY, YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD WANT THIS TO BE SHORTENED WITH THE INFORMATION IS WHAT IS THAT? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? I'M SAYING I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK FOR HER, BUT I THINK SHE WANTED TO KNOW INFORMATION OTHER THAN THE PROCESS AND ALL THAT.
SHE JUST WANTED TO KNOW THE NUMBER OF TRANS FORMATION FROM A CHILD ENTERING KINDERGARTEN WITH A CERTAIN DISCIPLINE, A DISABILITY.
AND HOW MANY OF THOSE SHARES ARE PERCENTAGE WISE BY THE TIME THEY ARE LEAVING THE SEVENTH OR EIGHTH GRADE, THAT'S WHEN CHANGED OR BY THE TIME THEY ARE GRADUATING, THAT'S BEEN CHANGED.
AND, UH, AND YOU KNOW, THOSE ARE ALL FACTUAL NUMBERS, I SUPPOSE, THAT SOMEBODY CAN GET THE STATS, BUT WHEN YOU, YOU WOULD WANT TO, AND, YOU KNOW, AND WHAT THE PROCESS WAS, IT WAS NUMBERS TOO, THAT SHIFTED.
I'M SAYING THAT TOPIC WILL TAKE MUCH LONGER THAN AN HOUR, MUCH MORE ON UNDERSTANDING.
AND I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEEDED AS BOARD MEMBERS, THE COMMUNITY MIGHT NEED IT, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THE PROCESS IS AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO LEARN IT AND, YOU KNOW, AND THE BRAS AND WHAT THE SPECIALIST SERVICES DEPARTMENTS OFFER.
UH, LIKE I SAID BEFORE, I THINK THAT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THIS FOR US AND THE COMMUNITY, MAYBE ONE OF OUR BOARD MEETINGS, WE HAVE SOMEONE FROM THE DISTRICT COME IN AND EXPLAIN, AND THEY REALLY WILL TO DEAL WITH THAT ANYMORE, BECAUSE IF YOU PUT IT IN THE WORK SESSION, IT'S GOING TO TAKE UP TOO MUCH TIME.
AND I'M, I'M NOT SAYING THAT THIS SHOULDN'T TAKE TIME, BUT, UH, FOR ONE, FOR ONE DAY, YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE UP A LOT OF TIME.
UM, WE'RE READY TO VOTE ON THE MOTION.
CAN YOU PUT THE MOTION BACK UP? UM, ROBIN, THANK YOU.
IT WILL NOT BE ON THIS AGENDA.
SO, UM, THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS, MELON AND DAVID, UH, IT SEEMS LIKE
[00:55:01]
WE'VE GOT A PRETTY GOOD FULL AGENDA.MOST OF THE TOPICS WE HAD OUTSTANDING HERE FOR THE WORK SESSION HAVE BEEN COVERED.
DO YOU GENTLEMEN HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS? NO, I THINK THAT'S SO FULL PLATE THERE.
SO THEREFORE I DO NOT SEE THE NEED FOR A SECOND.
YOU KNOW, US NOW HAVING THE BOARD VOTE ON A SECOND DATE, THAT WAS BASICALLY WHAT WE WERE HAD TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.
THERE, TAKE THAT OFF THE AGENDA THEN.
AND I CAN MA I CAN MENTION IT UNDER, UM, I WILL UNDER CHAIRMAN'S REPORT.
I CAN MENTION WHAT WE'RE DOING.
UM, NEXT WE NEED TO SET OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING, MEETING, WRITE A DATE AND ROBIN.
UM, SO DO YOU, OUR MEETING IS AUGUST 3RD.
SO DO YOU WANT TO MEET ON THE FOURTH 56? SOMEWHERE IN THERE? NOT THE WORK.
WE MIGHT STILL BE HAVING THE MEETING, RIGHT.
HOPEFULLY, BUT DO YOU WANT TO START EARLIER? HOW SO? UM, HOW ABOUT SCHEDULES FOR, UM, MEL AND DAVID AND DR.
R PLEASE START, GO FROM FOUR TO FIVE ON THE FOURTH.
THAT WOULD BE MY REQUEST, RIGHT? BECAUSE WE'RE CARRYING ON YEAH.
WE'VE ALREADY GOT, WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE THAT NIGHT ANYWAYS.
SO DOES THAT SUIT YOU, MEL AND DAVID? IT'S FINE WITH ME.
IT'S UP TO YOU GUYS, BUT I DON'T LIKE THE FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T COMPLETED THE OTHER MEETING BEFORE WE SET THE AGENDA FOR THE NEW 80.
WELL, DO YOU WANT IT THEN MAKE IT THE FIFTH? THAT'S, THAT'D BE BETTER IN MY MIND.
AND DOES THURSDAY, AUGUST 5TH, FOUR TO FIVE WORK FOR YOU GUYS.
SO THAT WILL BE OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING THURSDAY, AUGUST 5TH, FOUR TO FIVE.
DO WE WANT TO JUST HAVE VIRTUAL OR DO WE ALSO WANT TO HAVE IN-PERSON IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME.
I, WHICH WAY I'M FINE WITH EITHER WAY UP, IF YOU WANT THE PERSON, WHAT YOU GUYS DECIDE.
GIVEN THE TIME OF FOUR TO FIVE, IT'S A LITTLE EASIER FOR ME IF IT'S, IF I JUST DO VIRTUAL LIKE TODAY, SO LET'S DO VIRTUAL AND YOU'RE GOOD WITH THAT, DAVID.
DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER BUSINESS TO ADDRESS REGARDING THE SETTING? UM, AN UPDATE.
SO WE DID GO, UM, FOR, UP FOR THE OTHER BOARD MEMBERS, WE DID GO AND VISIT THE HILTON HEAD TOWN HALL, AND THAT'S NOT GOING TO WORK FOR US.
UM, BUT WE COULD HAVE, WE COULD BE READY TO HAVE OUR SECOND MEETING IN AUGUST AT THE SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF CREATIVE ARTS.
SO IF YOU WANT TO ANNOUNCE THAT AT THE AUGUST 3RD, THAT SOUNDS GREAT.
SO THAT CAN BE ANOTHER ITEM I'LL TALK ABOUT.
SO, SO YOU CAN PUT WORK SESSION AND THEN, UM, LOCATION OF AUGUST, UH, UH, MEETING AUGUST, WHATEVER DATE IT IS AGAIN, 17TH, I THINK AUGUST 17TH.
THERE BEING NO FURTHER BUSINESS.
UM, WE'LL ADJOURN BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT ADJOURN.
