UH, DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT WANT TO GIVE AN UPDATE FROM THE LAW CONFERENCE? I MEAN YES.
AND IF YOU CAN JUST LOOK UP, YOU KNOW, WHAT, IT'S, WHAT IT'S CALLED, YOU KNOW, WHEN THEY'RE, WHEN YOU REGISTERED US.
SO YOU JUST GET THE TITLE, RIGHT.
FOR RIGHT NOW AS A PLACEHOLDER.
UM, SO THE COMMITTEE REPORTS, IT WOULD ONLY BE THESE TWO.
THOSE ARE THE ONLY TWO THAT ARE MEETING PRIOR TO THE SEVENTH.
WE HAVE MEETINGS GOING ON THAT WEEK, BUT THAT'S THE ONLY TWO PRIOR TO THIS MEETING.

WE'RE GONNA, I GUESS, HAVE THIS SPECIAL CALLED MEETING AFTER THE SOUTH CAROLINA SUPREME COURT, UH, DETERMINES THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE LEGISLATIVE PROVISOR AT 1.108.
UM, SO THAT WON'T, YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING FROM THAT, UNLESS IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S SORT OF CARRY OVER FROM THAT SPECIAL CALLED MEETING, BUT I KIND OF DOUBT IT AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY DONATIONS SCHOOLS, BUT THE SCHOOL HAVE BEEN SYNCING FOR WHAT, THREE MONTHS? THREE WEEKS.
UH, WHAT KIND OF REPORT WOULD YOU LIKE MR. CAMPBELL ON, UH, ON YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON COVID YEAH, I WAS GOING, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE COVID NUMBERS LOOK LIKE TEACHERS AND STUDENTS.
WE GOT, YOU KNOW, WE STILL GOTTA DO THE HOLD ON IT.
WELL, I PLAN ON, YEAH, THAT'S FINE.
UH, I PLAN ON SENDING IT, SENDING REPORTS TO YOU, KIND OF LIKE YOU GOT TODAY, UH, ABOUT OUR NUMBERS WHAT'S HAPPENING.
IT'S JUST BASICALLY, YOU KNOW, HOW YOU GET THE REGULAR UPDATES FROM CANVAS, RIGHT.
SO WE SENT IT TO YOU IN THERE WHERE WE ARE, BECAUSE, UH, REMEMBER I SAID LAST NIGHT, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND THEN MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY CREDIT SHOW.
WHAT NUMBER I GAVE YOU YESTERDAY, RIGHT? DIDN'T HAVE SATURDAY, SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
[00:10:01]
UH, SO THE ONES WE GOT IN MONDAY WERE CREDITED TO LAST WEEK AS WERE SATURDAY, SUNDAY.SO IT CHANGED THE NUMBER I GAVE YOU.
SO WE WANT TO GET OUT, I'M NOT EXPECTING ANYTHING.
THAT'S GOING TO HIT ME BY SURPRISE, BUT I'M JUST LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AS A PUBLIC PRESENTATION IN TERMS OF YOUR, YOUR INFORMATION SHARING WITH THE PUBLIC DURING THE, DURING THE BOARD MEETING.
SO YOU WANT ME TO ADD, UH, TO EVERY BOARD MEETING, LIKE WE DID LAST YEAR, UH, AND EVERY TWO WEEK UPDATE UNTIL THIS THING GOES AWAY AND TELL US THINGS, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'LL BE DOING THAT FOR SEVERAL YEARS, BUT YEAH.
WELL, I MEAN, IT'S HOT RIGHT NOW.
I TELL IT SETTLES IN TO BE, YOU KNOW, I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO GO AWAY, BUT I'M TELLING US NO LONGER ON THE BAROMETER.
I THINK WE SHOULD DO SOMETHING THOUGH, SO THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS THE PUBLIC IS GONE.
SO, SO SOMEHOW, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU, YOU SAY YOU'RE TRANSPARENT, YOU'RE SHOWING THEM WHAT, WHAT, WHAT IT IS.
UM, DO YOU WANT ME TO GO TO THE FUTURE TOPICS SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT'S LEFT ON THERE? YEAH.
CAN I JUST SEE THE CONSENT AGENDA FOR A MINUTE BEFORE YOU YEAH, YEAH.
17 23, 27 AND PROBABLY NEVER RECOVER AND WHATEVER COMES OUT OF, UM, THE NEXT SPECIAL CALL MEETING.
UM, I THINK DAVID REACHED OUT TO RACHEL.
I GOT CLARITY ON WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR.
AND I GOT HER TO AGREE TO THE WORDING OF CHANGING IT TO PROCESS FOR DETERMINING THAT NO PROCESS FOR DETERMINING IEP NO LONGER NEEDED AND FREQUENCY.
AND SHE EXPLAINED THAT HER DAUGHTER APPARENTLY SAID SHE DIDN'T NEED AN IEP ANY LONGER BASED ON SOME TESTING.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S HOW SHE GOT THE TESTING OUT THING.
MR. SMITH, MR. SMITH DID NOT RESPOND TO ME.
SO I, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
YEAH, LET'S SEE THE REST OF THEM.
I'LL TELL YOU, WE'VE HAD, YOU KNOW, FOR, FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE NOT RETIRED AND HAVE SIGNIFICANT OBLIGATIONS OUTSIDE OF OUR, OUR PUBLIC OFFICIAL DUTIES, WE'RE HAVING A LOT OF MEETINGS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
AND, UM, UH, ESPECIALLY IN LONG MEETINGS, YOU KNOW, GIVEN LAST WEEK, IT WAS WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY FOR A LOT OF HOURS.
AND THEN LAST NIGHT WAS LET US SEVEN OR SIX AND A HALF HOUR MEETING.
AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THIS OTHER SPECIAL CALLED MEETING AFTER THE, UM, SUPREME COURT GIVES THEIR DECISION.
I PERSONALLY WOULD LOVE TO KEEP THIS.
SO IT IS SEPTEMBER 7TH IS A ONE DAY MEETING.
SO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL THESE OTHER TOPICS, YOU KNOW, WHAT, HOW LENGTHY THE PROCESS FOR DETERMINING IEP, WHAT DAVID JUST STATED RACHEL'S REQUEST.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WOULD ENTAIL.
R KNOWS WHAT THAT WOULD ENTAIL.
WELL, I THINK IT, IT, I DON'T THINK IT'S THE, I DON'T THINK IT'S THE, THAT IS, IS GOING TO BE A LENGTHY, UH, PRESENTATION.
I'LL THINK IT'S, IT'S THE QUESTIONS
[00:15:01]
AFTERWARDS THAT ARE GONNA MAKE IT A LENGTHY PRESENTATION WHILE SHAKING HIS HEAD.CAUSE I THINK HE AGREES THAT THE PROCESS IS THE PROCESS AND THAT'LL BE PRETTY STRAIGHTFORWARD, BUT IT'S, IT'S, UH, IT'S THE QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS.
PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE PROCESS AND DIGGING INTO, YOU KNOW, TELL IT TO ME.
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TO MA'AM, BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE RIGHT.
WELL, I'LL LET YOU GUYS, IF YOU WANT TO ADD SOMETHING, WE CAN, I INTRODUCED THE LAST THING, UH, LAST MEETING, BUT DR.
STRATUS, UH, SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD ALREADY PLANNED TO DO AN UPDATE WITH, UH, WITH JERRY ANDERSON LEADING THAT PROCESS.
SO WHENEVER SHE'S GOING TO DO IT, UH, WAIT A WEEK FOR ANY, ANY, UH, COMMENTS FROM DAVID OR DR.
R I WOULD JUST SAY, GO AHEAD AND ON A COURTESY STANDOFF HERE, YOU'RE THE BOARD MEMBER, SO WE'LL LET YOU GO FIRST.
UM, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT IF THAT PROCESS FOR DETERMINING, UM, IEP IS NO LONGER NEEDED, I THINK THAT'S KIND OF A RARE THING JUST BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE.
UM, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH AN EMAIL, UM, YOU KNOW, AND THAT MIGHT, THAT MIGHT SATISFY THE REQUEST BECAUSE I BET THAT FREQUENCY IS PRETTY DARN LOW.
UM, YOU KNOW, BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS, IT'S USUALLY A LIFELONG, LIFELONG THING.
I DON'T THINK IT'S VERY OFTEN.
SO SINCE THAT IS SO SPECIFIC TO RACHEL'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, MAYBE IF WE SENT AN EMAIL, THIS IS THE PROCESS AHEAD OF TIME.
WE MIGHT NOT HAVE TO PUT THIS ON A FUTURE AGENDA.
I WOULDN'T PUT IT ON THIS AGENDA, BUT WE COULD TRY THAT, TRY AN EMAIL AND SEE, YEAH, THERE MIGHT BE HAPPY TO DO THAT.
AND IT SEEMS LIKE WE FOREVER WAITING ON THE PORT ROYAL TIF, I GUESS ROBIN, YOU COULD REACH OUT TO THEM AGAIN, BUT I WOULDN'T ADD IT TO AN AGENDA UNTIL WE KNOW THEY CAN DO IT.
MAYBE YOU CAN, THEY'RE GOING TO DO THAT RIGHT AFTER THE PORTS DEVELOPED.
UM, SO THAT COVERED EVERYTHING.
I THINK THAT WAS ON HERE, UH, FOR, FOR MEETING TOPICS.
I WILL SHOW YOU THE WORK SESSION AGENDA.
SO THE CHANGES TO THIS ONE, UM, UM, I'M GOING TO SEND OUT AN EMAIL TO BOARD MEMBERS, ASKING THEM TO MAKE SURE THEIR DEVICES THAT YOU USE ARE WITH YOU SO THAT TECHNOLOGY CAN DO ANY UPDATES AND CHANGING OF PASSWORDS AND SO FORTH.
AND DAVID, IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT NEEDS UPDATED, IF YOU TO DRIVE BY OR JILL CAN DROP IT OFF AND THEN WE CAN GET IT BACK TO YOU IF YOU WANT.
SO THIS IS THE WORK SESSION AGENDA FOR FRIDAY.
SO LET'S JUST GO BACK UP TO THE TOP AGAIN, OR, AND WE'VE GOT OUR USUAL DISCLAIMER THERE.
AND IT STARTING AT NINE AND THE PUBLIC COMMENTS AT THE BEGINNING.
[00:20:01]
AND THEN HERE ARE THE TOPICS THAT PROGRAM PRESENTATION.R DID YOU WANT ME TO TAKE 1 17, 9 OFF AND JUST PUT DISTRICT'S DISASTER PLAN? UH, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE ONE 17.9 OFF AND PUT DISTRICTS, UH, HURRICANE DISASTER PLAN.
ANY, UM, MAILER DAVID, IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD, FEEL FREE TO RAISE YOUR HAND.
AND THIS DISTRICT-WIDE PROGRAMS IS REALLY JUST THE ONES THAT WAS ASKED FOR RIGHT.
BECAUSE YEAH, I MEAN, BETTER PUT, BETTER, PUT MORE SPECIFICATION ON NOW WE'LL BE LOOKING FOR EVERYTHING.
I THINK WE HAD, DO YOU HAVE THAT LIST ROBIN? CAUSE I, IT SAYS, UM, WE WANTED, UM, IT SAYS LIKE ROTC LAW ENFORCEMENT FIRE AND RESCUE WELDING AND OTHER COMPLETER PROGRAMS. SO DO YOU WANT ME TO PUT ALL OF THAT ON THERE? ON THE AGENDA? YEAH.
SO THEY WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE LOOKING FOR AND LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, SO THE OTHER THING, WELL, I'LL LET YOU DO THAT, BUT, UM, GO AHEAD.
THE OTHER THING IS, I GUESS, THINK MAYBE, UM, YOU JUST NEED TO HAVE, I DON'T KNOW, AT THE TOP OR THE BOTTOM OR SOMEWHERE, UM, THAT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE WILL HAVE A, I DUNNO, A BREAK FOR LUNCH.
OH, WHERE IS IT? CAN YOU SAY IT? OH, IT MAY TAKE PLACE ON POTENTIAL.
WE WILL TAKE A 45 MINUTE LUNCH BREAK WHEN APPROPRIATE.
CAN WE GO BACK TO OUR, OUR, UM, AGENDA SETTING, MEETING, UM, AGENDA.
SO NOW WE'VE GOT A COUPLE THINGS.
SO ONE IS, UM, DO WE WANT TO, UM, SO HOW ABOUT YOU, YOU GUYS THAT IS MELLON DAVID.
UM, IT'S LIKELY THAT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO HAVE A SPECIAL CALLED MEETING ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK.
UM, AND I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR.
UM, THAT WOULD BE THE 30TH OR THE 31ST A RULING ON FRIDAY.
NOW, CAN I, I JUST, I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE.
I JUST GOT AN EMAIL AT FOUR 17 FROM MR. REGAL AND IT SAYS, UM, PLEASE SEND THIS THE SCHEDULE SCHEDULING ORDER TO KEEP THEM UP TO DATE.
AND WHEN THE SUPREME COURT IS GOING TO CONSIDER THE CASE AND IT LOOKS, LET ME OPEN.
IT SAYS THAT THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA HEAR THE CASE.
I THINK IT SAYS ON THE 30 ON, HOLD ON, LET ME TRY TO OPEN THIS UP.
I THINK THEY'RE HEARING IT ON THE 31ST.
I'M TRYING TO GET THIS OPEN ON MY PHONE.
I'LL SEND THE SCHEDULING ORDER.
SO YOU JUST SAID TO HEAR THE CASE HERE IT IS, HERE IT IS.
IT SAYS WE, ORAL ARGUMENT SHALL BE HELD ON THIS CASE ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 31ST AT 11:00 AM.
WE GRANT THE PETITION FOR ORIGINAL JURISDICTION AND THEIR CREST TO EXPEDITE CONSIDERATION OF THE CASE.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR IT ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 31ST AT 11 O'CLOCK.
THEY'RE GOING TO HEAR THE ORAL ARGUMENT.
SO THEN, UM, WENDY, CAN YOU, UM, GIVE US, UH, UH, AN IDEA OF WHAT, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK THAT THEN THEY'RE GOING TO, I MEAN, HOW LONG IS, IS THAT I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
CAUSE IT SAYS, IT SAYS HERE ANY, I THINK
[00:25:01]
I TOLD YOU ALL THAT ALL THE REPLIES HAD TO BE, SIR HAD TO BE FILED WITH THE COURT ON THIS PAST MONDAY AT NOON.AND THE COURT IS SAYING HERE THAT ANY FURTHER BRIEFINGS, THE PARTIES WISH THE COURT TO CONSIDER SHALL BE CERTAIN AND FOLLOW THE COURT BY NOON ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 27TH.
SO THIS, THEY, THEY JUST SAID THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE WILLING TO GRANT EXPEDITED REVIEW AND THEY'LL HAVE THE ORAL ARGUMENT.
SO MY QUESTION IS SETTING AGENDA.
SO AT THIS TIME WE REALLY CAN'T PICK A, SINCE WE HAVE TO DO IT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF BEING NOTIFIED OF THEIR DECISION.
SO WE, AT THIS POINT CAN'T REALLY CHOOSE A DATE BECAUSE WE CAN'T KNOW THAT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY MAKE THEIR DECISION.
SO LET'S, SO THAT'S OFF THE TABLE.
THEN THE LAST THING WE HAVE TO, UM, DECIDE IS OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING.
UM, SO, UM, OUR BOARD MEETING AFTER THE SEVENTH WOULD BE THE 21ST.
UM, SO WE CAN, DO YOU WANT TO MEET ON THE 13TH? BECAUSE THERE ARE TWO MEETINGS SCHEDULED ON THE NINTH, THURSDAY THE NINTH.
SO DO YOU WANT TO DO IT ON THE 13TH? YES.
CAN I DO WHAT? MA'AM I'M TRYING TO FIND IT CALENDAR.
OKAY, SO I'M SORRY, WHAT DAY DID YOU, YOU SAID THE NEXT MEETING IS THE, OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING IS THE 27TH.
AND, AND, UM, AND THEN YOU SUGGESTED WHAT DATE? THE 13TH, WHICH IS A MONDAY.
DOES THAT WORK FOR YOU, MELANIE DAVID? THAT WORKS FOR ME.
UNLESS YOU WANT TO DO MORE TIME WITH THE BROTHER? YEAH, I CAN'T.
I W I WON'T BE AVAILABLE THE WEEK PRIOR.
HOW ABOUT YOU, DAVID? THAT'S FINE.
WHAT TIME ARE WE THINKING? A FOUR IS GOOD IF IT'S, IF IT'S GOOD FOR YOU GUYS AND DR.
R IS THAT WORK? YEAH, SO THE 13TH, I MEAN, I'M FINE WITH 4 34, 4 35, WHATEVER, WHATEVER IS FINE WITH ME.
DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY PREFERENCE? I DON'T REALLY HAVE A PREFERENCE.
I'LL STICK WITH FOUR THEN BECAUSE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE, OKAY.
TYPICALLY YOU'RE GOING TO FINISH THEM BY FIVE AND SO ON.
SO THE NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING IS MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13TH, 13TH AT 4:00 PM.
