[00:00:10]
READING OF THE AGENDA SETTING COMMITTEE TO ORDER FIRST, UH, BUSINESSES APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.
ANGELA, IT'S JUST YOU AND I MOVE THAT.
SECOND, ANY DISCUSSION, ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
IF WE COULD DAN, FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PLEASE, I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
I'M ASSUMING WE HAVE NO PUBLIC COMMENTS, NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS APPROVAL OF THE FEBRUARY 21ST MEETING MINUTES.
WE APPROVE THE FEBRUARY 21ST, 2022 COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES.
THE NEXT THING IS SETTING THE AGENDA FOR MARCH 15TH.
UM, RIGHT NOW THERE, THERE SEEMS TO BE JUST, UM, LEGAL UPDATE, WHICH IS TWO PENDING MATTERS.
I HAVE ADDITIONAL ITEMS. OKAY.
UM, I'VE GOT THREE ITEMS OUT OF OPERATIONS.
UH, THERE'S A BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC EDITION.
UM, THERE IS TILTON HEAD ISLAND, MIDDLE SCHOOL RENOVATION, AND THERE IS, UH, BUFORD MIDDLE SCHOOL, ATHLETIC AND TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS AND TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT WORD IS JUST NOT COOPERATING.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP MOVING, ARE THEY AMENDMENTS? ARE THEY AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACTS OR NEW CONTRACTS? THEY MIGHT BE AMENDMENTS TO CONTRACT.
I'LL GET, I'LL GET WITH ROBERT.
SO WHEN WE DO THE, THE, UM, THE FORMAL AGENDA, THEN WE SHOULD PUT AMENDMENTS, BACKTRACK AMENDMENTS, MAKE SURE THAT WANT TO BE RIGHT TO SAY THE RIGHT THING.
WELL, DO WE NEED TO START AT FOUR 30 OR FIVE? O'CLOCK I THINK FOUR 30, I THINK FOUR 30 JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.
I THINK WE CAN ANTICIPATE A QUESTION ON WHO IS GOING TO BE GIVING THE LEGAL ADVICE.
[00:05:01]
MATTHEWS WILL UPDATE ON THE SMITH CASE.SO MR. SMITH'S WILL NEED TO RECUSE HIMSELF AND THEN MR. DUFF WILL BE DISCUSSING, UM, THE CASE HE'S HANDLING FOR US ON PATEL.
SO MR. MATTHEWS WILL GO FIRST.
AND I THINK MR. DUFF WILL BE IN PERSON THERE, THERE MIGHT BE ONE OTHER LEGAL CLAIM, BUT IF, IF THERE IS, IT'LL BE VERY BRIEF AND I CAN DO IT MYSELF.
I JUST, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW THAT QUESTION'S COMING SO SIX FEET CALLED THE OVER PUBLIC SESSION AND I'M NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TOP PART BECAUSE I JUST TRUST ALL THAT STUFF AT THE TOP.
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT AND MARCH 6TH, GOING TO CELEBRATION, DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE A LOT OF TIME, PUBLIC COMMENTS, CHAIRMAN REPORT.
UM, YEAH, I'LL, I'LL DO THAT REMINDER ONE MORE TIME.
THE LAST TIME I HAVE TO DO THAT, UM, THE ONLY COMMITTEE MEETING BETWEEN, UM, IS THE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING.
SO THAT'S THE ONLY COMMITTEE MEETING WE HAVE BEFORE THE NEXT BOARD MEETING ANDREW EVERY HAD THAT YET, OR IS THAT IT'S ON THE NINTH? I ONLY ASK THAT CAUSE I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS SOMETHING BIG COMING OUT OF THAT, UM, WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR OPERATIONS, THERE'S GOING TO BE TWO OPERATION COMMITTEE MEETINGS.
SO ON THE NINTH IT'LL BE JUST FACILITIES AND CONSTRUCTIONS, UM, UPDATE.
AND THEN ON THE 21ST IT'LL DEAL WITH ARS HR IN SO FORTH.
SO THIS OPERATIONS UPDATE OR INCLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE? CORRECT.
I'M JUST TRYING TO GET A FEEL FOR THE TIME.
THEN ALL THIS IS KIND OF STANDARD.
ANYTHING ELSE TO FRANK OTHER THAN, THAN, UH, I MEAN THINGS STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, OR CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? OKAY, PERFECT.
UM, YES, ACTUALLY FOR STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, UM, I, I D I NEED A PLACEHOLDER THERE.
UH, MARY AND I ARE STILL WORKING ON THE TOPIC AND THE TITLE, UM, BUT IT'S INSTRUCTIONALLY RELATED.
UH, SO IT WILL FIT UNDER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
UM, BUT, UM, BUT I DON'T, I, YOU KNOW, SO I JUST NEED A PLACE HOLDER THERE AND I CAN GET THE SPECIFIC TITLE TO ROBIN.
AND THEN UNDER HIGHLY QUALIFIED TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS, UH, WE HAD A REQUEST FOR AN UPDATE ON THE FEATURE VISA PROGRAM.
THE PROBLEMS. REMEMBER THAT ONE? YEP.
SO WE CAN PUT DOWN UNDER ALI, PROBABLY PAUL, CAUSE IT'S, THERE'S NOTHING CONFIDENTIAL ABOUT THAT.
AM I RIGHT WENDY? UM, I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING CONFIDENTIAL ON THAT.
BECAUSE IT'S AN EXECUTED CONTRACT, SO IT'S PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.
AND WHAT IS IT CALLED? TEACHER VISA PROGRAM.
TEACHER VISA PROGRAM PROBLEMS. OKAY.
MAYBE PROBLEMS. THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
I MEAN, WE COULD PUT THAT, BUT, UM, PROBLEM WAS MENTIONED THE LAST TIME AND THE REQUEST WAS FOR PROBLEMS THAT HAVE GOOD WORK, YOU KNOW, ALLUDED TO EXECUTIVE SESSION.
WELL LET'S, LET'S, LET'S DO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN KEEP THE CONVERSATION FOCUSED ON THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE AND NOT REVIEW THE ENTIRE VISA PROGRAM.
WAS THERE ONE PROBLEM OR SEVERAL? I THOUGHT THERE WAS JUST ONE, BUT IF THERE'S MORE, I THINK I, I KNOW WHAT THE, I KNOW
[00:10:01]
WHAT THE ISSUE IS.UM, I CAN WORDSMITH IT WITH RAMEN IF YOU LIKE TO JUST KEEP IT FOCUSED ON THAT ISSUE.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK WE GOT A HEADS UP ON ALREADY.
UM, AND THEN THE COVID UPDATE, WHICH HOPEFULLY IS GETTING SMALLER AND SMALLER.
UM, HOW LONG DO WE WANT TO KEEP THAT GOING? YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
UM, AND MAYBE THIS COULD BE THE LAST ONE MR. SMITH.
UH, WELL, I, I DO HAVE A CONCERN IF WE STOP IT BECAUSE ALSO IN A MINUTE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SPRING BREAK AND KIDS ARE GOING TO BEGIN TO TRAVEL.
SO, UM, YOU KNOW, TH THAT'S GOING TO BRING SOME QUESTIONING AND I WOULD PROBABLY PUSH IT OFF UNTIL AFTER SPRING BREAK AND TELL WHERE I BELIEVE THAT THAT WILL GIVE US TIME TO BE, UH, MORE, MORE IN DECLARE IT DEFINITELY OUT OF THE RED.
SO WE'LL REVISIT IT, THE NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING.
SO DON'T PUT LAST ON THE AGENDA.
DON'T PUT LAST UPDATE ON THE AGENDA.
LET'S GO TO THE LOOSE SENSE THEN JOINED US.
I STAY, YOU GUYS ARE SPEEDING.
UM, THE LAST THING, THE LAST THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE MEETING WAS, UM, WE VISIT THE POLICY ON MASCOT, THE NEPOTISM, UM, AR VIOLATION S OR FUNDS, AND WE'LL LOOK AT THE PROGRAM, BELIEVE ME, SIT ABERDALE, BUT IT WAS EARL'S.
IT'S WHAT I WENT TO THAT SESSION AT THE SCHOOL BOARD MEETING OUT CORRECTED IN MINUTES AND I'LL CORRECT IT THERE.
AND THEN THERE'S ANOTHER ONE THAT, UM, MISSPOKE, RIGHT.
COMMUNICATED TO US AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS OF THE EFFICIENCY STUDY.
AND BASICALLY AN UPDATED ORG CHART AND JUST SORT OF A, WHO'S DOING WHAT IN THE DISTRICT AT THIS POINT, I THINK YOU'LL GET THE UPDATED WORK CHART TOMORROW.
AND THEN I DO HAVE JUST A QUESTION, LIKE IF THE ARTS COORDINATOR, WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SCOPE OF THAT? NOT BECAUSE I'M CHALLENGING IT, I'M JUST CURIOUS, LIKE FOR MY OWN INFORMATION, WHAT THE JOB DESCRIPTION IS.
SO I'M INCLUDING, UM, THIS IS WILSON SID UPDATE ON JOB DESCRIPTION ON PROGRESS OF THE EFFICIENCY STUDY.
SO WORKING BACKWARDS FROM THAT ONE, UH, FRANK, WHEN, WHEN WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT UPDATE, WE CAN ACTUALLY THROW THAT IN THERE DURING THIS MEETING.
I'D PUT THAT UNDER THE HIGHLY QUALIFIED.
[00:15:01]
LOOKING AT YOU TO, TO EXPAND ON, I WILL, UM, PROBABLY CONTACT THEM THIS WEEK.THEN I SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING BY IT'S TIME FOR A MEETING.
SO GIRLS GIRL FOLLOW UP ON THAT.
I HAD TWO QUESTIONS, UM, OR THE, FOR THE FIRST ONE WAS IN TERMS OF, I HEARD YOU SAY THAT WE PROBABLY WILL GET THE UPDATE AND UPDATE ON THE ORG CHART.
BUT I THINK THAT THE PUBLIC WAS DEFINITELY LIKE TO KNOW THAT AS WELL, BECAUSE I'VE DEFINITELY HAD WHO HAVE, WHO HAVE ASKED ME THAT.
SO, UM, HAVING THAT PROMPT POSSIBLY IF WE COULD GET THAT, IF WE'VE, IF WE GET THAT BACK, DR.
RODRIGUEZ UPDATE, I THINK THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT, THAT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE GOOD SO THAT THE PUBLIC CAN ALSO UNDERSTAND IT AND BE BETTER AS WELL.
WELL, AS PART OF THE UPDATE ON THE EFFICIENCY STUDY, I THINK.
THANKS FOR GIVING DOCS TELLING ME THAT.
I WAS JUST MENTIONING TO INGRID THAT, THAT THE WORD CHART SHOULD BE OUT ON EMAIL TOMORROW AND THEN ALSO, UH, THE, UH, THE POLICY ON THE MASCOT.
WHERE ARE WE? WHERE ARE WE? ARE WE GOING TO PUT THAT AT, UM, DR.
RODRIGUEZ? WELL, I'M GOING TO REWORD THAT TO UPDATE ON THE, BECAUSE THERE WASN'T THE MASCOT, THE MASCOT HASN'T CHANGED.
SO THE LOGO, SO I WOULD, I THINK THAT THAT SHOULD SAY UPDATE ON THE LOGO ISSUE.
IS THAT, IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU MR. SMITH? UH, I THINK IT WAS KIND OF A GRAY AREA, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE SLASHED THE SLASH SLASH THE MASCOT BECAUSE IN ONE INSTANCE IT HADN'T, IT HAS, SO THAT'S A CONVERSATION THAT NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE PUBLICLY BECAUSE, UH, TO SOME DEGREE IT HAS, IT HAS CHANGED.
SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, JUST SO, SO THE, THE DESK SORT OF MIND, I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, UH, I DON'T WANT TO BE THERE IF WE DIDN'T SAY THAT.
TALK ABOUT THE MASCOT, IF THERE'S UNSAVED MASCOT, THAT WE CAN'T DISCUSS THAT.
SO IF, IF, IF, IF B, IF, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SAY THAT WE CAN'T DISCUSS THAT, THEN I WOULD DEFINITELY I'LL HAVE A CONCERN WITH IT.
NOT SAYING MASCOT, WE COULD SAY LOGO SLASH MASCOT.
AND THEN WHEN FRANK KEEPS THE UPDATE, HE CAN SAY THE MASCOT HAS TO CHANGE.
UM, SO FRANK, I'M LOOKING TO YOU, WHEN IS THERE SOME PROGRESS TO REPORT? WELL, I MEAN, I CAN JUST PROVIDE, YOU KNOW, AN UPDATE ON WHERE WE ARE SINCE THAT LAST MEETING OR WHAT'S THAT WHAT'S TAKEN PLACE OR WHAT'S TRANSPIRED SINCE THAT LAST MEETING.
THIS LET'S PUT IT ON THE AGENDA FOR THE 15TH AND WALTZ OTHER MATTERS.
SO WE PROBABLY SHOULD SAY BHS LOGO, MASCOT ISSUE.
SO, SO WE DON'T SPILL OVER INTO ANY OTHER SCHOOLS THAT MIGHT NOT LIKE THE PICTURE.
FRANK, THAT YOU CAN GIVE AN UPDATE.
MY QUESTION IS UNDER OTHER MATTERS.
UM, JUST IN CASE THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE AT THE MEETING, UH, WAITING, WELL, OBVIOUSLY THAT ALONE, I WAS JUST GONNA SAY, CAN WE PUT IT UP? THAT'S FINE.
WHAT ELSE WERE YOU IN CLEAR OFF THAT LOOSE ENDS ITEM OR LOOSE LOOSE SENTENCE LIST.
UM, AND IT'S YOUR FUNDS POSSIBLY USE FOR COVID ILLNESSES? UM,
[00:20:02]
YEAH, I THINK THE ASTRO FUND POSSIBLE USING COVID BONUSES IS A BUDGET WORK SESSION.ANGELA SAID MAKES SENSE TO YOU, KATHY.
BUDGET WORK SESSION THERE, THEN VIOLATION.
CAN WE PUT THAT ON? I WAS GOING TO HAVE, I RAISED MY HAND, BUT, UM, CAN THAT GO ON THIS MONTH BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO BE AN ISSUE BECAUSE OF HIRING THAT WOULD, WE'D BE TAKING THAT TO OPERATIONS NEED TO DISCUSS WITH THIS WONG.
CAUSE I THINK NEPOTISM IS AN HR ARM.
SO WHAT WAS THE ISSUE MS. MS. BELRON, I'LL SPEAK WITH YOU SEPARATELY ABOUT THIS SO I CAN MAKE A CORRECTION THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.
WELL, IT'S GOING TO BE, THE BOARD IS GOING TO HAVE TO DECIDE IF THEY WANT TO, IF THEY FIND IT IN VIOLATION OF POLICY, HAS OPERATIONS COMMITTEE ALREADY LOOKED AT THIS NO OPERATIONS COMMITTEE FIRST? I DON'T THINK SO.
IN MY OPINION, BECAUSE I'M SORRY.
I, MAYBE MR. WANTS TO CALL HIM ME.
UM, I, BECAUSE I THINK IT'S SOMETHING THAT THE WHOLE BOARD NEEDS TO DISCUSS, UM, BECAUSE YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT REALLY SUPPOSED TO, TO VENTURE INTO AAR'S UNLESS IT'S A BOARD WIDE POLICY, SO IT'S NOT SORT OF A, LET'S GET AN UPDATE AND FIND OUT WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
IT'S MORE LIKE HERE'S THE, WHERE I THINK THERE'S A POLICY VIOLATION AND SEE IF THE BOARD AGREES WITH ME.
WELL, WE SHOULD CORRECT IT IF THERE'S A VIOLATION.
WELL, THE ONLY THING IT'S, IT'S BASICALLY THE PART THAT I'M OBJECTING TO IS THAT TEACHERS CANNOT WORK IN THE SAME BUILDING TEACHERS THAT ARE RELATED.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YEAH.
TEACHERS CAN WORK IN THE SAME TEACHERS THAT ARE RELATED CAN'T WORK, WHICH IS QUITE A BIT FURTHER, UM, THAN THE STATE OR OTHER DISTRICTS GO AND IS CAUSING A LOT OF PROBLEMS FOR MY CONSTITUENTS.
UM, AND I THINK IT'S UNNECESSARY.
I'M LIKE MY PREMISE IS THAT IT VIOLATES THE POLICY OF HIRING THE BEST PEOPLE FOR THE JOB.
I MISS THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED AT A BOARD MEETING, UH, VERSUS CAUSE, CAUSE WE'RE KIND OF JUST GETTING INTO THE, GETTING INTO THE DETAIL OF IT RIGHT NOW.
YEAH, NO, I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHERE I WAS COMING FROM.
SO AS FAR AS I THINK IT SHOULD GO, I AGREE, MR. SMITH, I THINK IT SHOULD BE A FULL BOARD, NOT AN OPERATIONS COMMITTEE.
AND I'M JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY IF I'M SUPPOSED TO DO SOMETHING AHEAD OF THE MEETING.
I WAS JUST TRYING TO CLARIFY, WELL, I UNDERSTOOD MR. SMITH CORRECTLY.
HE WAS SAYING, LET'S NOT DISCUSS IT HERE.
IT WAS JUST SETTING AN AGENDA.
I DON'T THINK IT SURE SEEMS TO ME LIKE YOU SHOULD GO THROUGH OPERATIONS AND WENDY'S SHOULD MAKE HER CALL ON IT, BUT I'LL LOOK INGRID.
AND, UH, AND KATHY ON THAT, I, I THINK IT SHOULD GO TO OPERATIONS FIRST AND THEN THEY BRING IT, THEY, THEY VET IT.
THEY, UH, AND THEN THEY CAN JUST SAY, OKAY, IT NEEDS TO GO TO THE FULL BOARD.
BUT I DO THINK EYES, OPERATION EYES SHOULD BE ON IT FIRST.
THERE ARE TWO COMMITTEES THAT ARE INVOLVED HERE.
POLICY COMMITTEE AND OPERATIONS, APPARENTLY OPERATIONS WILL MEET ON OCTOBER.
I MEAN ON MARCH 21ST, THIS AND THEN POLICY WOULD MEET ON THE 31ST.
ANGELA, WHAT DO YOU THINK? OKAY.
SO WE'LL PUT OPERATIONS COMMITTEE, MR. SMITH'S HANDS BACK UP.
UM, SO THIS WILL GO TO OPERATIONS FIRST.
SO ARE WE ALL SATISFIED WITH WHERE WE ARE? ANGELA? ARE YOU OKAY WITH WHERE WE ARE? YES, SIR.
UM, ARE YOU GARY GO ON TO ANOTHER AGENDA?
[00:25:01]
YES, MA'AM.I WANT TO PUT UP THE SIC AGENDA FOR THE 10TH, SECOND STUFF.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CHANGE TO MY MOBILE PHONE.
YOU WANT TO SEE THE AGENDA? UM, SO ADDED ON HERE, UM, FOR MR. STRINGER, THE ISD WANTS ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO DO THE, THE STRATEGIC GRAPH GOALS FOR THE SIC.
CAUSE THEY HAVE TO GET INPUT IN AS OPPOSED TO CALLING A SEPARATE MEETING.
THEY'RE ASKING IF HE, UM, NICK IS ASKING IF THEY CAN MAKE THE PRESENTATION, MAKE A PRESENTATION AT THIS MEETING, AND THEN THEY'LL BE GIVEN A LINK TO, UM, TO ANSWER THE SURVEY, THE QUESTIONS, WHAT MAKES SENSE TO REALLY ANGELA? REPEAT THAT AGAIN.
SO I, AS PART OF OUR PLAN, THEY HAVE TO SHOW, UM, GET INPUT FROM THE SIC ON THE DRAFT GOALS.
SO THEY'RE ASKING THAT SINCE WE'RE HAVING THIS MEETING, IF THEY CAN MAKE THE PRESENTATION AT OUR JOINT MEETING AND THEN THEY'LL BE A LINK GIVEN TO THEM FOR THEM TO ANSWER QUESTIONS OR GIVE THEIR FEEDBACK, THIS WOULD BE ABOUT A 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION.
IT'S A GOOD TIME TO DO IT, BUT, UM, I RECEIVED A CALL TODAY FROM SOMEONE WHO, UH, AN SIC CHAIR WHO SAID SHE DIDN'T RECEIVE THE AGENDA, DIDN'T RECEIVE THE, UM, INFORMATION.
AND SHE SAID, THIS IS THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED WITH THE DECEMBER MEETING.
AND, UM, SO I REFERRED HER TO KRISTIN CASPER AND I I'M JUST CONCERNED, YOU KNOW, IF YOU REMEMBER OUR DECEMBER MEETING, WE DIDN'T HAVE MANY SIC PEOPLE ACTUALLY THERE, WE HAD ADMINISTRATORS AND SOME TEACHERS, BUT REALLY THAT WAS ONE OF OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS.
SO SIC PEOPLE AREN'T ARE, CAN BE TEACHERS IS WHAT KRISTEN TOLD ME.
SO SIC PEOPLE ARE SOME, UM, THEY'RE TEACHERS AND THEN THE COMMUNITY IS APPOINTED BY THE PRINCIPAL.
AND IF THE SIC CHAIR CAN'T BE THERE, THEN THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE COME IN IN THEIR PLACE WHO IS ON THE SIC, BUT THEY'RE SIC MEMBERS CAN BE, OUR TEACHER CAN BE TEACHERS.
WELL, I KNOW THAT THE SIC IS, DO HAVE TEACHERS ON THEM.
UM, BUT I THINK THAT I WOULD LIKE, I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND THE PARENTS WHO ARE ON THOSE COMMITTEES KNOW ABOUT THESE MEETINGS.
SO I THINK THAT'S THE SECOND BULLET POINT UNDER GROUP DISCUSSIONS.
CAUSE I AGREE WITH KATHY, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE'S A LOT OF ADMINISTRATIVES OF PEOPLE WITH PRINCIPALS AND VICE-PRINCIPALS THERE AND NOT VERY MANY COMMUNITY PEOPLE.
SO MAYBE THAT WOULD BE A DISCUSSION ON HOW WE CAN MAKE THESE MEETINGS MORE VALUABLE.
SO IF WE DO THE PRESENTATION OF THE STRATEGIC DRAFT GOALS FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN, WILL THAT BE, UM, UH, RECORDED OR WILL THE INFORMATION BE AVAILABLE TO SIC MEMBERS BEFORE THEY HAVE TO GIVE FEEDBACK THAT AT THIS MEETING? UM, I CAN ASK CHRIS NOW.
I MEAN, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.
CAUSE TO ME THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT.
I MADE THE RIGHT ANSWER TO KATHY'S QUESTION IS YES.
HE SAID BEFORE THEY GET FEEDBACK, THE FEEDBACK MIGHT BE HAPPENING DURING
[00:30:01]
THE, AT THE MEETING.YES, BECAUSE ONLY THREE PEOPLE ARE INVITED TO THE MEETING BECAUSE THE WHOLE SIC IS NOT INVITED TO THE MEETING.
SO, BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID THERE WAS GOING TO BE A SURVEY AFTER SOMETHING.
SO I, THERE IS GOING TO BE A SURVEY AND HOW IT'S DISSEMINATED.
THAT'S HOW I CAN ASK KRISTIN HOW IT'S DISSEMINATED SO THAT IT WOULD BE AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.
THAT'S THE INFORMATION I WOULD FIND OUT HOW IT WILL BE DISSEMINATED.
YOU GOT IT, ROBIN, YOU GOT THE ISSUE.
I AGREE WITH MRS. UH, MRS. ROBOT.
AND, UH, ALSO IN HOW I AM CONCERNED THAT, UM, THAT THAT ONE PERSON OR TWO PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED SIC AND, AND FOR, TO GIVE A STRATEGIC 20 MINUTE PRESENTATION THAT FOR IT TO BE MEANINGFUL, THAT I FEEL THAT THAT WAS ONLY ONE OR TWO PEOPLE FROM EVERY SOC THAT WERE POSSIBLY COUNTING OUT, UH, PEOPLE WHO COULD POSSIBLY WOULD NEED TO BE ABLE TO BE A, BE, HAVE AVAILABLE TO GET FEEDBACK.
AND I THINK, AND I DON'T THINK THAT I'M NOT SURE HOW, UH, AFFECTED THAT, THAT IS, AND THAT DO BRING ME SOME CONCERN, UH, BECAUSE IF, IF IT'S THAT IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THAT FEEDBACK, THEN I BELIEVE WE CAN CATCH MORE WITH ALL OF THEM VERSUS ONE OR TWO PEOPLE.
SO THAT, THAT, THAT IS A CONCERN OF MINE.
UH, WOULD IT BE A DISCUSSION WHERE WE'D HAVE TO HAVE WITH THE CHAIR OF THE SIC, RIGHT? YEAH.
AND AGAIN, I THINK THAT'S, THAT'S A GOOD DISCUSSION POINT.
WELL, WE'D ALL LIKE TO SEE MORE PEOPLE AT THESE WELL, WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS OF US AGREEING TO ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT, THIS MEETING VERSUS AN ACTUAL MEETING THAT, THAT, THAT ISD, UM, BASICALLY CREATE FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
I THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE MORE, IT'D BE MORE FEASIBLE FOR THEM TO MEET WITH DIAS.
I MEAN, TOO, WITH THE, UM, WITH THE, WITH THE, UH, THE, THE, THE, UM, SEPARATE MEETING.
I THINK IT WOULD BE, I THINK IT WOULD BE, I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE EFFECTIVE IN, IN A SEPARATE MEETING, UH, VERSUS THE MEAN THAT WE HAVE SCHEDULED.
I THINK THAT WAS LIMITED TO THEM WHO CAN PARTICIPATE.
I SEE IT ON THEIR OWN, ALONG WITH THE SIB.
I MEAN, WELL NOT WHEN DID THE, UH, THE DOCUMENTED ACTIVE MINUTES, EXCUSE ME.
I MEAN, HOW WE DO IT, THE THING THAT CONCERNS ME IS WHAT MS. CASPER JUST SAID ABOUT THE SIC DOESN'T LINE UP WITH MY UNDERSTANDING OF AN SIC.
AND I JUST KIND OF QUICKLY LOOKED UP, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, PARENTS ELECT THEIR OWN SIC REPRESENTATIVES.
STUDENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A WHOLE PROCESS HERE.
AND I WONDER MY EXPERIENCE ON SIC ON, ON HILTON HEAD IS THAT THEY ARE WILDLY DIFFERENT.
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE WE, IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALL THESE MEETINGS AND START GETTING ALL THIS INPUT.
I FEEL CONFUSED AS TO, UM, WHAT WE'RE, WHO ACTUALLY REPRESENTS THE SIC, UH, WHOSE MEETING IT IS.
I JUST FEEL LIKE THERE ARE MORE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE BEFORE, AND MAYBE IT'S NOT A BOARD ISSUE.
UM, BUT I KNOW PRINCIPALS DO NOT, WE DON'T APPOINT SIC METERS MEETINGS.
UH, AS I SEE MEMBERS, IT IS A, THAT'S AN SIC ISSUE, I BELIEVE.
AND YOUR QUESTION OF WHOSE MEETING IT IS, IT'S THEIR MEETING.
I'VE TRIED TO STRESS THAT ON IT, FOR SURE.
THAT IT'S THEIR MEETING AND THAT'S, THAT'S THE POINT ABOUT LET'S MAKE THESE MORE, MORE VALUABLE, UM, IT'S THEIR MEETING.
UM, I THINK THE AGENDAS IN THE LAST COUPLE OF TIMES, THE AGENDAS HAVE BEEN DOMINATED BY A FEW PEOPLE.
I'M NOT SURE THAT'S A GOOD THING.
UM, BUT YEAH, I, THE SIC IS, I'M NOT SURE HOW WE TELL THEM.
WE'D RATHER HAVE THEY DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY, YOU KNOW? UM, IN FACT, I DON'T THINK WE CAN TELL THEM THAT, BUT I AGREE WITH YOU.
SO ANGELA, CATHY, SHOULD WE REMOVE THIS PRESENTATION OR LEAVE IT ON? I SAY, LEAVE IT ON AND JUST TELL THE, UH, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE THERE THAT THEY WILL HAVE ACCESS TO IT, TO SHARE WITH THEIR ENTIRE, YOU KNOW, WITH OTHER PEOPLE, IF THEY, OR, OR, YOU KNOW, ASK THEM IF THEY WOULD LIKE, UH, AN ADDITIONAL PRESENTATION TO REVIEW THE WHOLE THING.
[00:35:01]
UM, I DON'T KNOW.I THINK THAT THAT MIGHT BE THE WAY TO GO, SORRY, CHIP IN HERE.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, BECAUSE I THINK THE, IN INGRID BROUGHT THIS UP BEFORE THERE'S THE ORGANIZATION OF THIS MEETING IS SO CONFUSING.
UM, THIS WHOLE S I, WE NEED TO, THERE NEEDS TO BE A NEW PLAN FOR THE SIC TO MEET WITH THE BOARD.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A DIFFERENT PLAN BECAUSE IT DOES, IT HAD, IT DIDN'T WORK OUT THE FIRST TIME I ATTENDED AND I DIDN'T GET TO ATTEND THE SECOND TIME.
AND IT JUST SEEMS SO DISJOINTED.
SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT PRESENTATION SHOULD STAY AND IF IT DOES STAY ON THE AGENDA, THEN THEY IT'S GOING TO BE RECORDED.
SO ALL OTHER MEMBERS CAN GO BACK ON THE COUNTY CHANNEL ON THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT, BUT WE NEED TO REORGANIZE THIS MEETING OR HAVE WHOMEVER IS IN CHARGE OF IT TO COME UP WITH A BETTER PLAN.
ANY DISAGREEMENT ON THAT, ANGELA.
AND THAT IS THE WHOLE INTENT OF THAT SECOND BULLET POINT, UM, UNDER GROUP DISCUSSIONS, BECAUSE THE LAST MEETING AND I DETECTED THE FRUSTRATION, PEOPLE JUST WERE NOT INTO IT.
I THINK WE ALL AGREED THAT IT'S NOT REALLY PRODUCING ANYTHING OF VALUE.
UH IT'S LIKE, UH, WE'RE WE'RE LIKE GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS.
WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT, NOT REALLY GETTING ANY VALUE OUT OF IT.
SO THAT'S, THAT'S THAT WHOLE SECOND BULLET POINT.
SORRY, I COULDN'T UNMUTE IF MY HANDS STILL UP.
I'M NOT SURE THERE, I THINK THAT THESE IDEAS IT'S REALLY GOOD WHEN LEAVE IT ON THERE AND THEN ASK IF THE, IF THEY NEED MORE EXPLANATION OR LIKE MORE EXPLANATION.
AND THEN IF THEY SAY THEY WOULD, THEN IT'S UP TO MR. FLOWERS TO ARRANGE THAT, BUT WE DEFINITELY HAVE TO GET SOMEBODY TO ASK, WELL, ROBIN'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF GETTING THIS STUFF OUT AHEAD OF TIME.
MR. SMITH IT'S BEEN SENT OUT SO WE CAN SEND IT OUT AGAIN.
IT'S BEEN SENT OUT, KRISTEN SENT IT OUT TO EVERYBODY.
SHE HAS SAID, SHE'S, THIS IS THE SECOND VERSION SHE SENT OUT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THEM HAVING, BEING UPDATED.
SHE WENT OUT ON FRIDAY WITH THE S WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN ON IT.
THE FIRST ONE WENT OUT WITH, WITH JUST THE QUESTION, THE COUP THE TWO QUESTIONS.
SO SHE SAID THIS ONE UP AS A DRAFT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF IT BEING ON.
BUT DO, DID THEY GET THE DRAFT? LET'S LOOK AT IT AS A DRAFT TO TELL THEM WHAT THEY NEED TO DO AND STUFF.
SO JUST AS A FINAL, UM, THAT YOU ALL BLESSED IT, AND THEN THIS WOULD BE THE FINAL AGENDA.
AND WILL WE BE ATTACHING THE DRAFT GOALS LIKE WE DO IN BOARD DOCS? I'LL ASK.
I'LL GET THAT INFORMATION AND PUT IT IN BOARD DOCS.
YEAH, BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE POINT.
THEY, EVERYBODY WANTS TO HAVE ACCESS TO THOSE DRAFT, TO THAT DRAFT GOALS AHEAD OF TIME.
MR. SMITH, I AGREE WITH, WITH WHAT, WITH WHAT THIS IS, UM, WHAT MRS. ROBIN SAID, I AGREED TO GO AHEAD AND PUT IT ON THERE.
I THINK THAT THAT'S, THAT WILL SATISFY EVERYONE AND, AND, AND, AND THAT'S BASICALLY THAT THAT WILL SATISFY EVERYONE.
I THINK WE HAVE SETTLED THAT ISSUE.
THEN WE GO TO THE GROUP DISCUSSIONS AND THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN ALLUDING TO.
HOW CAN WE MAKE THESE MEETINGS MORE VALUABLE TO YOU? WELL, THE FIRST ONE IS YOU WANT TO KEEP HAVING THEM REALLY HOPE THEY SAY YES.
UM, AND THEN THE SECOND ONE IS, WELL, HOW DO WE MAKE THEM VALUABLE? AND THAT REALLY AN OPEN DISCUSSION.
NOW, THERE WAS A QUESTION AS TO WHY WE WOULD STILL HAVE THE BREAKOUT GROUPS AND MY FEELING ON THAT IS WHEN YOU HAVE BREAKOUT GROUPS, MORE PEOPLE PARTICIPATE.
UM, WHEN YOU HAVE IT IN ONE BIG GROUP, YOU HAVE MORE LIMITED PARTICIPANTS IN THE SAME TIME PERIOD.
[00:40:01]
THAT'S THE WAY TO GO.AND I'LL DEFER TO CATHY AND ANGELA, IF YOU THINK THAT SHOULD BE DIFFERENT.
NO, I THINK YOUR POINT ABOUT PARTICIPATION'S WELL-TAKEN YEAH, I AGREE.
AND THEN THEY COME BACK AND WE GIVE THE GROUP REPORTS AND IT WOULD REALLY BE GOOD IF SOMEONE FROM THE SIC COULD GIVE THE REPORT.
IT SEEMS LIKE IT ALWAYS DEFAULTS TO A BOARD MEMBER.
TECHNICALLY IT'S, IT SHOULD BE A BOARD MEMBER IN A SIC AND WITHIN THE GROUPS, THE BOARD, THE BOARD MEMBER, AND THE SIC DETERMINE WHO'S GOING TO REPORT AND WHO'S GOING TO REPORT OUT.
SO IT SHOULD BE ONE OF EACH IN EACH OF THE GROUPS TO REPORT OUT, THEN HAVE TO BE A BOARD MEMBER REPORTING OUT.
WE'VE HAD SOME TIMES WHEN IT HAS BEEN AN SIC REPORTING OUT.
SO THAT'S UNDER THAT SAME BULLET.
UM, AND THEN FUTURE TOPICS AND FORMAT, WHICH I'M ASSUMING THERE'LL BE A CHANGE PROBABLY TO THE FORMAT AND PROBABLY TO THE TOPICS ALSO, BUT WE'LL SEE, THAT'LL BE, THAT'LL BE KIND OF SUMMING UP WHAT WE LEARN IN THOSE GROUP DISCUSSIONS.
UH, ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS ONE? OKAY.
WE NEED TO SET A DATE TO SET THE WORK SESSION AGENDA.
NOW I DO HAVE A QUESTION ON WHEN MR. NEWARK IS COMING ON THE 25TH TO DISCUSS THAT.
IS THAT A WORK SESSION? YES, THE 25TH, THE 25TH WAS ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR A HALF A DAY, BUT WE NOW HAVE, WE KEEP MOVING THINGS TO THE WORK SESSION.
SO THE 25TH HAS TO BECOME A FULL DAY WORK SESSION.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I HAD A CLEAR PICTURE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA.
SO THE END, IT WAS A BUDGET WORK SESSION DAY.
SO THE TOPICS THAT I HAVE ALREADY, UM, FROM TANYA IS DEBT MANAGEMENT, TIF UPDATE, BUDGET, UPDATE, TEACHER SALARIES, 8% PROJECT DISCUSSION PROCUREMENT CODE REVIEW.
THEN I ALSO HAVE, UM, UM, BC, THE WEBSITE PREVIEW.
SO THOSE ARE THE, UH, AGENDA TOPICS I HAVE SO FAR FOR THE WORK SESSION, NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER THINGS ON THE FUTURE TOPIC LIST THAT WE PUT DOWN THIS WORK SESSION.
SO IT SOUNDS TO APPRECIATE BRINGING A CAR OR GO INTO A SECOND DAY.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE JUST NEED TO HAVE A DATE TO LOOK AT THAT AGENDA.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING? YES.
ARE YOU ALL AVAILABLE ON THE 14TH TO DO IT? IT'S MONDAY THE 14TH.
AND THEN OUR NEXT MEETING AFTER THAT WOULD BE THE 28TH TO SET THE APRIL 5TH MEETING.
NOTHING FOR ME, NOTHING FOR CAFFEINE.
