CALL THIS MEETING OF COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION TO ORDER IS THE AGENDA SETTING MEETING OF MARCH 28TH, BEING CONDUCTED BY REMOTE CONFERENCING.
AND IT'S ALSO LIVESTREAM BY THE COUNTY.
OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS APPROVAL OF THE AGENDA.
MR. CHAIR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE TODAY'S AGENDA.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO REPLAY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THE REPUBLIC, WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL THE MEDIA HAS BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED.
THE NEXT TIME OF BUSINESS IS THE APPROVAL OF OUR LAST MEETING.
WE APPROVE THE MEETING MINUTES FOR APRIL 5TH.
OKAY, LET ME GO BACK AND GET THIS.
NOW WE GET TO THE MEAT OF THE MEETING, SETTING THE AGENDA.
ALL THE BOILER PLATE STUFF LOOKS RIGHT.
YOU HAVE SESSION, LET'S SEE, UH, PERSONNEL RATIFICATION REPORT.
THAT'LL ADD REPORTS, SCHOOL FOR CREATIVE ARTS.
NOT SURE IS THAT A BUDGET TYPE THING I WOULD GUESS.
I JUST HAVE TO GET THE WORDING OF IF, UM, WHAT IS, IF IT'S A AMENDMENT OR WHAT IT IS.
IT'S FIVE O'CLOCK AND THEY GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO COVER ALL OF THAT.
UM, SO DO WE NEED BEFORE FIVE OR FOUR 30, I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE RFP SLASH OR FOR FOOD SERVICE COULD ENGENDER STRONG CONVERSATION.
I THINK MAYBE FOUR 30 WOULD BE, WOULD BE.
AND WE HAVE, WE HAVE NO LEGAL UPDATES ON THIS ONE.
IT'S NOT WORKING FOR SOME REASON ON MY OFFICE, BUT I'LL DOUBLE CHECK, BUT OKAY.
SO WE'LL DO THAT AT FOUR 30 AND OTHERWISE, OTHERWISE LET IT STAND AS IT IS.
AND WE HAVE ALL THE BOILER PLATE STUFF, THE STUDENTS, A PERSON.
DO YOU THINK? UM, I'M NOT SURE KRISTIN.
DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE TIME WASTES? I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS OTHER THAN SHE JUST TOLD ME IT'S FROM ROBERT SMALL.
SO I DON'T KNOW AT THIS POINT WITH WHAT THE PERFORMANCE IS, UM, CHAIRMAN'S REPORT.
I DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO REPORT OR ANY WORDS OF WISDOM OR ANY ADMONITIONS TO GIVE I'LL JUST LEAVE THAT POINT.
I MEAN, I HAVE AN ITEM, BUT IT DOESN'T BELONG THERE.
[00:05:01]
OKAY.A LOT OF COMMITTEE REPORTS AND I, UM, THE ACADEMICS COMMITTEE HAS A BIG PRESENTATION.
STRATO SINCE, UM, UH, SHOP IT'S LIKE KIND OF AN OVERVIEW OF INITIATIVES.
UM, I GUESS WE CAN DECIDE AFTER WE SEE IT, WHETHER PARTS OF IT SHOULD BE PRESENTED TO THE WHOLE BOARD AT THIS TIME.
IT LOOKS PRETTY LENGTHY WHEN I LOOKED AT IT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANGELA THINKS, BUT YEAH.
WELL MAKE A JUDGMENT AFTER YOU'VE SEEN IT.
YOU KNOW, THOSE LENGTHY PRESENTATIONS AT THE BOARD MEETINGS ARE NOT OPTIMAL.
AND I, I THINK THIS ONE SEEMS LIKE IT'S INFORMATION IT'S AVAILABLE TO ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS.
YOU SEE, YOU WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT WITHIN A BOUNDARY, UM, SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT.
FRANK, CAN YOU HEAR ME? OKAY, PERFECT.
SO ON THIS SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT, UNDER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, WE HAVE, UH, UH, INFORMATION ON FOR THE BOARD ON EXTENDED LEARNING.
UH, AND THEN WE HAVE SOME, UH, JUST, JUST SOME INFORMATION FOR THE BOARD ABOUT ADDITIONAL APRIL'S INTERVENTIONS THAT WE'RE, THAT WE'RE DOING.
UH, AND THEN UNDER OTHER MATTERS, UH, THIS INITIATIVE CALLED PILLOW HEROES.
UH, WE NEED TO TAKE ROBIN IF YOU CAN TAKE THE WORD TRAINING OUT OF THERE.
UM, AND IT'S THIS, UH, HELLO BUREAUS, BUT A HYPHEN AND IT'S RELATED TO, AND THEN MENTAL HEALTH IT'S RELATED TO MENTAL HEALTH.
WE HAVE ABOUT DONATION AND WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE SUPPOSED FISCAL AUTHORITY BILL.
IT'S A PROPOSAL THAT'S A DRAFT HAS BEEN GIVEN TO US AND THE BOARD IS GOING TO HAVE TO VOTE ON WHETHER THEY APPROVE IT OR DISAPPROVE IT.
SO THAT IS ALL I'M GOING TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
THAT TAKES US TO THE LOOSE, LOOSE ENDS.
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT I DON'T, BUT YOU KNOW, AT ONE POINT IT'S SAID YOU HAD TO PUT THESE IN AHEAD OF TIME AND COULDN'T MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT, UM, THE MAY RIVER HIGH SCHOOL CAME IN SECOND PLACE IN THE ACADEMIC WORLD CLASS COMPETITION.
IT'S ACADEMIC WORLD QUEST ROBIN.
YEAH, THAT, THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN STICK TO THAT IN THE FUTURE.
THAT'D BE, THAT'D BE GOOD HAVING IT ON THE AGENDA.
YEAH, BECAUSE I DECIDED THAT BEFORE, BECAUSE I MADE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, PEOPLE GET ALL UPTIGHT AND SOMETIMES THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AREN'T REALLY ANNOUNCED.
WE HAD, WELL, WE HAD TWO REQUESTS FOR AGENDA ITEMS COME UP THIS WEEK.
ONE WAS THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE, UH, WITH LYNN STOKES MURRAY AND THE OTHER WAS A STAFF RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PLAN.
SO I THINK IS ROBIN CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG? IS IT LYNN GOING TO TALK TO US TOMORROW AT THE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE MEETING OR SHE'S NOT NOW.
NO, I JUST SAW, SAW AN EMAIL FROM TINA ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE UPDATE.
I THOUGHT THAT HAD TO DO WITH OUR MEETING TOMORROW.
NO, SHE SAID THAT TO YOU ALL AS THE OFFICERS.
[00:10:01]
IT ON THE AGENDA.SO DOES THAT FOUR, ARE WE GOING TO PUT IT AT THIS AGENDA OR FIND OUT A BLENDS AVAILABLE TO PUT ON THE AGENDA, PUT IT ON THIS AGENDA? I MEAN, I SAID, WHAT DID SHE SEND US? WHICH, AND SHE WANTED IT PUT ON THE AGENDA AND TINA WANTS AN UPDATE.
YOU KNOW, HOW, UH, LYNN STOKES MARIE HAS REPORTED TO US BEFORE.
SO TINA JUST REQUESTED THAT, UM, WE HAVE AN UPDATE FROM HER.
UM, I'LL, I'LL TEXT HER, EMAIL HER TOMORROW AND SEE IF SHE IS AVAILABLE FOR NEXT TUESDAY.
AND IF SHE HAS PULL, PUT IT ON, CAUSE THERE'S A LOT GOING ON, COUPLE OF THINGS HAVE CAUGHT MY EYE.
AND WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE CATHERINE? UH, THAT INGRID STAFF RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION PLAN.
I THINK REALLY THAT I SHOULD FIRST GO THROUGH THE, THE HR COMMITTEE OPERATIONS COMMITTEE.
IS IT, WOULD THAT BE A, WOULD THAT SATISFY YOUR REQUEST? INGRID IF IT WENT THE SHIRT.
IT WAS MOSTLY BECAUSE I WANTED TO MAKE IT CLEAR.
WE POSTPONE OR WE, I FORGET EXACTLY WHAT WE DID.
WE POSTPONED THE RETENTION BONUS PLAN AND I WAS JUST MAKING A POINT THAT I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE FOR IT.
YOU KNOW, EVEN IF I DIDN'T WANT HER TO DO A BUNCH OF CLARIFICATION COME BACK AND YOU KNOW, I WAS JUST SAYING, I STILL HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH IT BEYOND LIKE THE LEGAL CLARIFICATION.
I THINK WE NEED THIS, BUT THERE'S NO RUSH.
SO WE'LL PUT IT ON OPERATIONS CREDIT AND YOU CAN SCHEDULE IT WHEN YOU FEEL IT'S APPROPRIATE.
UM, WE HAD DISCUSSION ON SPECIFIC TRANSPORTATION ROUTES SCHEDULE FOR THE APRIL 5TH MEETING, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S WHERE THAT SHOULD GO ON THE AGENDA.
RODRIQUEZ TALKED TO HIM ABOUT A SPECIFIC ROUTE AND THAT IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF, BUT I'M NOT SURE.
ONE OF THEM, YOU CAN SAVE IT FOR WORK SESSION.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WORK SESSION.
WHAT WAS THE OTHER TOPIC THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ON FRIDAY THAT YOU WANTED TO ADD MAYBE TO A WORK SESSION? OH, THAT WAS, UM, THE, UM, ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
AND, UM, WHAT WAS THE OTHER ONE? I CAN'T REMEMBER THE OTHER ONE OR WE CAN DO IT IN A WORK SESSION, ACHIEVEMENT GAP PROGRAMS, AND MORE LIKE, MORE LIKE AN UPDATE ON WHAT PROGRAMS ARE BEING IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP OR TO ELIMINATE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
SOME OF THEM MAY BE COVERED IN THE PRESENTATION, THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE.
WELL THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT CAME UP DOING THE MEETING WITH THE SIC MEETINGS MEMBERS.
AND THERE WAS A PROGRAM, ONE PROGRAM THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT A COMMUNITY ACADEMY.
AND I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.
WELL, MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT THAT ON THERE TO GET A MORE SPECIFIC SPECIFIC PROGRAM.
IT WAS UM, THE COMMUNICATOR ACADEMY.
SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT THAT IN A WORK SESSION.
[00:15:02]
SENT AN EMAIL REGARDING GUARDING THE WILLIS WILLISTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.I GAVE A COPY OF THE, UM, INFORMATION REGARDING THAT PROGRAM TO DR.
STRATOSE, UM, BECAUSE I ATTENDED THAT SESSION AS WELL.
UM, I THINK THAT SHOULD GO TO, UM, HR.
SO, YOU KNOW WHAT, I, I THINK I KEPT A COPY FOR MYSELF AND, UM, I WILL TRY TO GET IT TO MAKE, UH, MR. CAMPBELL, MAYBE YOU AND I CAN, UH, GET IT TO ALICE ON TUESDAY BEFORE THE MEETING STARTS OR OKAY.
RACHEL HAD THE CT PROGRAMS AND PARTNERS THAT SHE WANTED.
IS THAT A WORK SESSION? I THINK THAT MIGHT BE A WORK SESSION TOPIC BECAUSE I THINK CT IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING BIG COMING UP JUST TO PRESENT TO US BECAUSE I'VE ASKED THE QUESTION ABOUT WHEN MAY RIVER IS GOING TO, UM, GET ROTC.
SO THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, WAITING ON MORE INFORMATION BEFORE THEY DO A PRESENTATION TO US ON THAT.
WAITING TO GET APPROVAL ON THAT.
AND WE HAVE A TON OF WORK SESSION THINGS WE NEED 10 WORK SESSIONS.
WE DEFINITELY NEED TO IN APRIL AT THIS POINT, UM, IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ONE IN APRIL, TONYA SAYS THAT SHE JUST NEEDS THE MORNING FOR BUDGET.
AND SO THERE ANYTHING ELSE, UM, YOU KNOW, YES, MA'AM, WE'LL TAKE THE AFTERNOON FOR SOME OF THESE LOOSE ENDS.
BUT SHE SAYS SHE ONLY NEEDS THE MORNING, UM, TO DO HER FOR ANY BUDGET INFORMATION.
THEN THAT'LL GIVE US, GIVE US THE AFTERNOON TO CLEAR OFF SOME OF THESE.
DO I NEED TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE I'M NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING ELSE? I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE.
WHERE DOES THAT FRANK, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU'RE IN A HORROR MOVIE.
FRANK, CAN YOU PUT SOMETHING IN CHAT? I CAN'T UM, IT'S NOT COMING.
YOU WANT ME TO PUT YOU ON SPEAKER? OKAY.
OR YOU CAN RELAY THE MESSAGE AND YOU WON'T HEAR THEM.
AND IT'S KIND OF AN ECHO, BUT YES, YES.
SO JUST WANTED TO JUST LET MR DISTRIBUTOR KNOW TWO THINGS.
IF I CAN MAKE ENOUGH PROGRESS ON THE BUFORD, UH, UH, ALL GO SITUATION THEN WE'LL, YOU KNOW, WE MAY ADD THAT UNDER A SUPERINTENDENT.
AND THEN, AND THEN THE OTHER THING IS, UM, IF I CAN TAKE CARE OF, UM, WHAT EARL IS LOOKING FOR ON THAT OTHER TRANSPORTATION ROUTE PIECE, THEN, THEN WE CAN SATISFY THAT ONE AS WELL.
I DON'T SEE ANYTHING ELSE FOR US TO DO.
[00:20:01]
OKAY.WE CAN'T JUST CHIT-CHAT BECAUSE THAT'D BE A FOUR YEAR VIOLATION.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO ADJOURN.
