UH, I LOOKED, UH, FOR THIS, UH, FOR THIS DOCUMENT TO BE REVIEWED BEFORE CALLING IN, BUT THERE WAS NOTHING AVAILABLE.

IT'S ON THE AGENDA ARE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE, BUT PUBLIC, THERE ARE SEVERAL BOOKS THAT CONTAIN MATERIAL THAT ARE EASILY CONSIDERED TO BE OFFENSIVE.

THAT'S IN THE BOOK.

AND THIS BOOK IS READILY AVAILABLE IN ALMOST ALL OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS AND HIGH SCHOOLS.

UH, AND I SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO DR.

SO THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE, UH, FIRST OF THE ARS THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT THIS AFTERNOON AND IT IS ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION.

I S NINE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM.

DR.

STRATOS GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR AND OTHER COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

I DO APPRECIATE THIS OPPORTUNITY.

I DO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TOWARDS SOME INTRODUCTIONS AND ESPECIAL INTRODUCTION TO A NEW MEMBER TO BE A COOK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND I'LL MAKE NOTE OF THAT WHEN I DO GET TO THE YOUNG LADIES NAME TONIGHT THIS EVENING, ACTUALLY WE HAVE WENDY CARTILAGE AND WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

SHE'S ONLINE, JULIE , WHO'S OUR PARALEGAL AND LATASHA MIDDLETON, WHO IS OUR NEW MEMBER TO STUDENT SERVICES.

SHE IS THE DIRECTOR OF SCHOOL COUNSELORS.

SO JUST A WARM WELCOME TO MISS MRS. MIDDLETON TO OUR COUNTY AND TO OUR FIRST ACADEMIC COMMITTEE.

SHE WAS STRATEGIC AT HER WORK AND VERY DEDICATED AT THE WORK WITH THE UPDATING TO THESE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS.

WE ALSO HAVE COLLEEN DECCAN BARSKI, WHO'S JOINING US, OUR DIRECTOR OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, KAREN GILBERT DIRECTOR FOR CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION, KAREN MCKINSEY, SECONDARY DIRECTOR FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING.

AND I BELIEVE I DID NOT LEAVE ANYONE OUT TODAY.

SO WITH THAT, IF WE CAN PULL UP THE FIRST AR, WHICH ONE DO YOU WANT THE CLAIM OR THE REVISION? I WOULD LIKE.

SO BOARD MEMBERS JUST UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE WE RECALL FROM OUR PRIOR MEETING THAT YOU WANTED TO HAVE BOTH COPIES, ONE WOULD BE THE FINISHED PRODUCT FOR YOU.

ONE WOULD SHOW YOU WHAT THE UPDATES ARE.

SO MRS. PUSHING BEAR REVIEW CAN SHOW THE ONE THAT IS BLACK AND RED.

UM, WOULD THAT BE THE REVISIONS? YES.

YES.

I DO APOLOGIZE.

IT HAS TWO WEEKS.

AND AS IT'S COMING UP, I DO WANT TO SHARE WITH W WITH COMMITTEE MEMBERS, IF WE, WHAT STARTED THIS PROCESS, AND THERE'LL BE A FEW ARS THAT WE ARE GOING TO BE UPDATING DURING THE SUMMER, BUT STRATEGICALLY, AND YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE UPCOMING TO BE RELEASED DUAL AND DUAL ENROLLMENT MANUAL.

THIS HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY REVIEWED BY DIRECTORS AS WELL AS LATASHA MIDDLETON, R D DIRECTOR FOR SCHOOL COUNSELORS.

WE LOOKING AT AN OPPORTUNITY OF PROVIDING DUAL ENROLLMENT AT EARLIER GRADES IN ORDER TO DO THAT, WE HAD TO MEET WITH UNIVERSITIES, U S CB AND T C L.

THE STATE LAW ALLOWS DUAL ENROLLMENT TO START AT AN EARLIER GRADE LEVEL.

I MEAN, AGE, AND WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO BE PROVIDE SOME OF OUR STUDENTS.

IF THEY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS WITH THESE OPPORTUNITIES, US CB WILL NOT TAKE STUDENTS AT THE AGE OF 16.

THEY WILL TAKE STUDENTS IF THEY ARE 16 AS A JUNIOR.

SO THAT MOA MOA, THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT REMAINED THE SAME.

TCL IS ALREADY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH OTHER SCHOOL IN OUR AREA, TAKING STUDENTS AT THE AGE OF 16, WE HAVE UPDATED OUR MOA TO BE COMPETITIVE AT PRACTICE.

AND THAT'S WHAT STARTED THE UPDATING OF ALL THE MANUAL, AS WELL AS THE AR.

SO I WANTED TO GIVE BACKGROUND FIRST, HIS DOCUMENT THAT'S UP RIGHT NOW IS ONLY FOR INFORMATION.

IT WILL BE RELEASED OVER THE SUMMER AND UPLOADED TO OUR BOARD DOCS.

IT IS THEREFORE A POINT OF REFERENCE FOR YOU.

SO YOU CAN HAVE THE BACKGROUND OF THE WHY OF MAJORITY OF THIS WORK.

AND THEN THE SECOND GROUP OF ARS IS TIED TO LIBRARIES AND IS SHARED BY OUR PUBLIC COMMON TERRY TODAY.

OKAY.

UPDATING OUR ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS TO BE ALIGNMENT WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA LAW, WITH REGARD TO LIBRARY AND SERVICES, AS WELL AS WHEN BOOKS ARE CONTESTED OR REVIEWED.

ALL RIGHT, MRS. CHRISTIAN BAKER, IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO THE M A R THANK YOU.

THIS SPECIFIC ADMIN IS ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION BASICALLY SPEAKS TO WHAT IS WHAT PROGRAMS WE PROVIDE AS A SCHOOL SYSTEM.

YOU'LL SEE THE AREA OF READ THE UPDATES.

WENDY

[00:10:01]

CARLOS MADE SURE WE ADDRESS A NON-DISCRIMINATORY DISCRIMINATION LANGUAGE IN DETAIL.

SO WE ARE ALIGNMENT WITH STATE AND FEDERAL GUIDELINES.

AS YOU CAN SEE THE REFERENCING TO TITLE SIX, TITLE SEVEN AND TITLE NINE, NEXT PLATE PAGE, PLEASE.

THIS IS ALL DIRECT LANGUAGE AND ALIGNMENT AMONGST THE ARS, AS WELL AS A DUAL ENROLLMENT MANUAL, SO THAT YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE TRYING TO HAVE A SINGLE VOICE SINGLE PRACTICE.

SO WHAT'D YOU SEE IN RED IS BRAND NEW.

AND IF YOU GO TO PAGE THREE, THANK YOU, MRS. CUSHION BERRY PAY THREE AND PAGE FOUR, PROVIDE THE CITATIONS OF INFORMATION.

AND OBVIOUSLY THE DATE ABOUT UPDATING.

I WILL PAUSE.

SO BASICALLY THE UPDATES IN HERE AS I HAVE OUR TITLED TITLE LANGUAGE NON-DISCRIMINATORY DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICE AND THE UPDATED LANGUAGE DIRECTLY AS WE HAVE IN OUR DUAL ENROLLMENT MANUAL.

IT WAS NOT IN THE PRIOR AR MRS. CUSHION BARRY.

WE'D LIKE TO PULL UP A R I S 43.

CAN I, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE QUESTIONS? ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON ISDN NINE, MEL? NO.

COLONEL GEIER.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THAT IT HAS TO BE SET UP.

THAT'S A GRANDIOSE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT NON-DISCRIMINATION.

WELL, IT'S NOT A GRANDIOSE ANNOUNCEMENT, BUT IT IS LANGUAGE THAT HAS NOT BEEN IN OUR AR IN THE PASTOR.

I MEAN, DOES IT HAVE TO BE A LANGUAGE OF STATEMENT ON THAT? OR I WILL REFER TO LEGAL COUNSEL TODAY MR. CAMPBELL, BECAUSE IT WAS FELT THAT THIS TYPE OF LANGUAGE SHOULD BE IN PRACTICE BECAUSE WE SHOULD BE FOLLOWING WITH THE GOVERNMENT AND, AND WHAT OUR RIGHTS ARE.

AND SOMETIMES INDIVIDUALS, I AGREE WITH THEM.

I JUST ALWAYS SUSPECT WHEN I SEE THE LANGUAGE WRITTEN.

SO CLEARLY.

YEAH.

SAME TIME.

WE'VE GOT PRACTICES THAT DISCRIMINATE AND I'M FINE WITH IT.

I JUST, I JUST WONDER WHY WE HAVE PRINTED SO BIG AND OPEN THAT'S ALL.

WELL, THE FINAL DOCUMENT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF YOU COULD SEE WILL NOT BE IN RED.

IT WILL BE STRAIGHT IN ONE FONT COLOR, SIR.

YES, SIR.

SAID THE REASON IT IS RED IS IT'S THE UPDATE THAT WAS ADDED TO THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION.

I GOT YOU.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

I GUESS WE CAN GO ON TO IAS 43 AND, UH, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD JUST BRIEFLY WE FOLLOWED, UM, THE, UH, REGULATIONS, THE STATE BOARD REGULATIONS WHEN WE WERE REVISING THIS ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION, AS WELL AS DR.

STRATIS MENTIONED WHAT THE TCL AND US CB REQUIREMENTS, THEY'RE ALL INCLUDED IN THERE.

SO I HOPE THAT CLARIFIES A LITTLE.

THANK YOU, MRS. CARTLIDGE SO APPRECIATE IT AGAIN, MRS. CHRISTIAN BERRY AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

AND I'M SPEAKING TO ISD AS WELL AS MRS. MIDDLETON LATASHA, AS I GO THROUGH TO DOES ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT TO BE SPECIFIC TO BRING FORWARD, PLEASE JOIN IN.

I'M GOING TO HIGHLIGHT THE UPDATES.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

SO WE LOOK ON PAGE ONE OF ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION, INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES, 43, ONCE AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE A PATTERN ON THE FORMATTING, THE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION.

YOU SEE, THAT'S THE LANGUAGE THAT WE'RE USING.

AND IT WAS A GRAMMAR CORRECTION ON THE FIRST PAGE TO SAY ESTABLISHES THE NEXT UPDATE THAT YOU WILL FIND WITHIN THIS DOCUMENT, BECAUSE THIS IS A RATHER LARGE, UM, ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION WILL BE PAID FOUND ON PAGE SEVEN.

THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU.

[00:15:01]

AND WHAT THAT IS, IS GIVING CLARIFICATION TO SAY.

AND I, THOSE OF YOU WHO'VE BEEN AT A SECONDARY SETTING WITH, FOR CREDIT EARNING OR W IN, IN REGARD TO ANY REGISTRATION, IS THAT WE'RE SAYING IN RED THAT'S, THIS IS THE UPDATE THAT BCSD WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO EVALUATE EVIDENCE PROVIDED BY THE PARENT LEGAL GUARDIAN OR STUDENT BEFORE TRANSCRIBING THE CREDIT.

IN OTHER WORDS, WE CAN FOLLOW UP, CALL THE SCHOOL, DO CONFIRMATION.

IS THIS TRULY AN OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT WHENEVER? AND IF POSSIBLE, OKAY.

IF WE PROCEED, THIS IS CUSHION BARRY TO PAGE NINE, AND IT'S IN THE MID PART OF THE PAGE WHERE YOU HAVE ADVANCED LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES.

THAT IS WHAT A L O STANDS FOR ABC ALPHA B.

WE WOULD JUST GIVING CLARIFICATION TO QUALITY POINT BY ADDING CREDIT WITH THE QUALITY POINT.

AND SO AGAIN, YOU'LL SEE, IT'S JUST CLARIFYING LANGUAGE.

AND NOW IF YOU GO TO ROMAN NUMERAL 11, PAGE 10, THERE'S TWO CR ONE ITEM ON THIS PAGE IS HIS ABOVE A LITTLE ON AN ALPHA D THIS, INSTEAD OF REFERRING TO THE DISTRICT, WE'RE REFERRING TO OURSELVES AS THE ENTITY, AS WHO WE ARE, AND WE ARE BCS DB FOR COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE THE ESSENCE OF WHAT WAS THE CORE OF UPDATING THESE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS, DUAL CREDIT.

AGAIN, THE LANGUAGE IS IN ALIGNMENT TO THE MANUAL.

SO THAT ARE WHAT YOU READ IN A MANUAL IS ALSO PRACTICE AT THE SCHOOL SITE.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE ANY AMBIGUITY.

IS THIS THE SAME AD IN THAT YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN IN THE AR WE JUST REVIEW? AND THAT CONTINUES TO THE TOP OF PAGE 12.

THANK YOU.

AND THEN ON PAGE 13, WE HAVE UPDATED LANGUAGE AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AGAIN, TO MAINTAIN A LINE ALIGNMENT OR COHESION, IF WE'D LIKE TO UTILIZE THAT LANGUAGE.

THANK YOU, MRS. CUSHION, BARRY, IF YOU GO TO PAGE 15 COURSE WITHDRAWALS, IT GIVES A TIMELINE AND REQUIREMENTS.

AGAIN, I ALREADY ITERATE ALIGN TO OUR MANUAL.

SO PARENTS WILL KNOW IT'S ALSO IN THE PARENT INFORMATION LETTER.

WE'VE GOT DATA AT OUR LETTERS.

SO PARENTS UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENTS UNDER WOULD ROLL THE ENROLLMENT.

UM, PAGE 17 LANGUAGE HAS BEEN UPDATED, ROMAN NUMERALS, 16 CREDIT RECOVERY.

WE WANT A CLARIFICATION WHAT CREDIT RECOVERY IS.

WE WANTED TO ASSURE THAT THE LANGUAGE HAS DEFINED AGAIN, THAT IT'S TWO CREDITS THAT A STUDENT MAY EARN ON, UM, ON CREDIT RECOVERY FROM PRIOR FAILURES, UNLESS THEY ARE MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES.

AND THE APPROVAL OF THE PRINCIPAL SAID THAT THE PRINCIPAL STILL HAS THAT OPPORTUNITY TO HELP STUDENTS.

AND HAVE YOU LOOK AT ROMAN NUMERAL 19, WE'RE JUST ASSURING EQUAL ACCESS.

THAT IS A NEW ADAGE FOR OUR STUDENTS WOULD AN IEP AS WELL AS OUR, AS ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING STUDENTS WITH EFFICIENCY AND MEETING THE NECESSARY ACCOMMODATIONS FOR CONSIDERATION OF A STUDENT IS NOT DOING WELL IN CLASS.

WILL HAVE WE DONE THE NECESSARY ACCOMMODATIONS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, YOU SEE THE PATTERN OF THE UPDATED OF INFORMATION AND THE CITATIONS

[00:20:02]

I'LL LEAVE US OPEN FOR ANY QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME.

UH, DR.

STRAUSS, I HAVE ONE QUESTION ON PAGE 14, WE HAVE ELIMINATED EMBRY RIDDLE INTERNET, A CLOSED UNIVERSITY, IS THAT NO LONGER AN OPTION.

THEY ARE NO LONGER AN OPTION.

UM, MRS. GILBERT, ARE YOU ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT OR MRS. MIDDLETON? WE'RE NOT IN PARTNERSHIP.

YES.

MS. , UH, IN THE PAST EMERIL USED TO HAVE A SATELLITE CAMPUS ON THE AIR STATION WHEN WE FIRST HAD THE AVIATION PROGRAM UP AND RUNNING IT BATTERY CREEK AND THEY HAD SINCE CLOSED THAT DOWN.

SO THE ONLY CAMPUS IS AT FLORIDA, SO WE ELECTED NOT TO PURSUE, UH, AND WORKING WITH THE SHOE SCB AND TCL.

SO THANK YOU FOR ASKING.

THANK YOU.

THAT MAKES SENSE.

OKAY.

UH, COLONEL GUY, OR DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS MR. MEL CAMPBELL? ALL RIGHT.

LET'S PROCEED MOVING RIGHT ALONG.

I BELIEVE THE FINAL DOCUMENT ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION THAT WE, IT WAS UPDATED AS A RESULT OF WORK EFFORTS FOR DUAL ENROLLMENT WILL BE I AS 49 GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS AND DIPLOMAS.

AND AT THIS POINT YOU COULD SEE THE PATTERN THAT WAS FORMED IN THE UPDATING.

I HAVE TO GIVE KUDOS TO THE TEAM, INCLUDING OUR LEGAL GROUP ON CATCHING SOME OF THE LANGUAGE.

IF YOU LOOK DOWN ON THE BOTTOM ON PAGE ONE, YOU'LL SEE THAT KEYBOARDING IS NO LONGER PART OF THE GRADUATION COURSE THAT IS ALLOWED.

IT IS A COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSE.

PAGE TWO, WE ARE LETTING THE COMMUNITY.

NOW THE REQUIREMENTS WITH THE EOC THAT THESE END OF COURSE EXAMS DO HAVE A GRADE, AND IT HAS AN IMPACT ON STUDENTS' GRADES AS 20%.

WE'VE GIVEN CLARIFICATION WITH REGARD TO THE COURSES ALIGNED WITH THE ELC AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGE TWO.

AND ON THE TOP OF PAGE THREE, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A RE ALIGNMENT OF NEW LANGUAGE.

WE'VE BEEN A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC.

AND AS YOU COULD SEE WITH UPDATING, UM, THERE WAS A TEAM DOES HIT.

THESE ARS HAVE ROTATED PROBABLY THREE, FOUR TIMES AMONGST MEMBERSHIP IN THE TEAM, AND THEN EVEN DEEPER WITH LEGAL CONFIRMING ALIGNMENT TO LANGUAGE WOULD THAT IS TIED TO THE STATE.

SO IF YOU GO TO PAGE FOUR, HERE'S AN UPDATE.

JUST TO NOTE THAT ROTC DOES MEET THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT.

NOW FOR GRADUATION DOES NOT CIRCUMVENT THE HEALTH STANDARDS THAT WE SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED, BUT WE DIDN'T WANT TO LET OUR, OUR PUBLIC KNOW THAT JUNIOR ROTC IS NOW DOES DO PE COMPONENT.

AND JUST TO SHARE, WE DO HAVE A GROUP OF, UM, OUR ROTC TEACHERS WORKING AT CREATING A POTENTIAL HONORS LEVEL JUNIOR ROTC WEIGHTED COURSE FOR OUR DISTRICT.

THAT WAS HIS LITTLE SECRET RIGHT THERE.

AND I KNOW KAREN'S WORKING HARD ON, SO THE BOTTOM ON ROMAN NUMERAL SIX, WE START WITH DUAL CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS.

AND AGAIN, A LARGER AMOUNT OF NEW LANGUAGE WE'VE INCLUDED ADVANCED ON THAT CAMBRIDGE ADVANCED INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATE KNOWN AS ACE.

THAT WAS NEW LANGUAGE FOR US AS A SYSTEM, WE RECOGNIZE THAT BOTH BATTERY CREEK AND MAIN RIVER ARE NOW FULLY ENGAGED AT THESE COURSES.

THE CHART HAS BEEN UPDATED TO

[00:25:01]

REFLECT NEW INFORMATION.

IF YOU GO TO PAGE SIX UPDATES ON THE SOUTH CAROLINA SEALS OF DISTINCTION, WE HAVE WORKED, AND I AM GOING TO SAY KUDOS TO THE TEAM AGAIN WITH REGARD THAT THIS IS WHAT THE STATE SAYS.

THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE FOR DISTINCTIONS FOR, UM, GRADUATION FROM THE DISTRICT LEVEL, BUT SCHOOLS HAVE THE LATITUDE THAT THEY WANT TO DO ADDITIONAL CORDS WITH THESE GUYS, WITH THE DISTRICT LEVEL THAT WE SUPPORTED ACTUALLY PAID FROM THE DISTRICT FOR OUR GRADUATES.

GO AHEAD, PICK SEVEN.

AND IF I COULD PAUSE RIGHT HERE A SECOND, UM, MRS. MCKINSEY, MS. MCKINSEY, COULD YOU SHARE WITH US THIS YEAR, HOW MANY BI-LITERACY, UM, CERTIFICATES WE HAD COMPARED TO THE PAST? UM, LAST YEAR WE HAD 16 BI-LITERACY SEAL GRADUATES AND THIS YEAR WE HAD 40, SO WE MORE THAN DOUBLED IT, EXPECT THAT NUMBER TO RISE THOUGH.

THANK YOU, KAREN.

APPRECIATE IT.

AND IF YOU GO TO PAGE NINE, AGAIN, IT IS THE FINAL UPDATING.

UH, OKAY.

I'M GOING TO, I'M GOING TO ASK THE QUESTION AGAIN.

UM, DO WE HAVE ANY PROFICIENCY BASED CLASSES THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT? OKAY.

SO THAT LANGUAGE, MRS. AND LET, LET ME GIVE POINTS OF CLARIFICATION.

OKAY.

THE STATE DOES ALLOW US TO HAVE PROFICIENCY BASE COURSES WITH THE COMPLETION AND APPROVAL OF A STATE WAIVER THAT IS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PRACTICE.

BASICALLY PUT A LANGUAGE THAT I'LL USE TO CLIP A COURSE.

I'M SURE THERE ARE MEMBERS ON, IN, ON VIDEO RIGHT NOW WHO HAVE HAD THAT OPPORTUNITY TO CLAP.

OF COURSE, I KNOW I DID WHILE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL, UM, THAT DOES EXIST IN ORDER FOR A SCHOOL SYSTEM OR DISTRICT TO PICK UP THAT OPPORTUNITY AND APPROVE STATE WAIVER SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT PRACTICE MUST BE WRITTEN AND APPROVED BY THE STATE.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT DURING THE PANDEMIC, ALTHOUGH WE ARE STILL IN A PANDEMIC, I WON'T SAY WHEN POST PANDEMIC THAT THE STATE DID ALLOW SOME PROFICIENT, THEY WERE A LITTLE BROADER ON PROFICIENCY PRACTICE IN ORDER TO HELP OUR SCHOOLS, ESPECIALLY OUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, BECAUSE WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE WORLD WAS AT THAT TIME, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE PRACTICE OF SCIENCE AND WHAT OTHER MEDICAL ITEMS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, YOU KNOW, THE STATE HAS PULLED THAT LEVERAGE OUR INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES DIVISION.

IT IS A PLAN TO SUMMER TO WRITE A WAIVER TO THAT ACCORD FOR STRAIGHT PROFICIENCY PURPOSES.

NOW, THE OTHER LANGUAGE WITH PROFICIENCY, MR. O'BRIEN DOES ALLOW, RIGHT.

YOU HAVE AN INITIAL CREDIT RECOVERY CREDIT PROFICIENCY CAN BE USED FOR RECOVERY CREDIT.

THAT IS, THAT IS THE WAIVER THAT WE HAVE AND HAS BEEN APPROVED.

WE ALSO HAVE A WAIVER TECHNICALLY FOR PROFICIENCY, BUT TIED ONLY TO OUR LOW COUNTRY VIRTUAL PROGRAM.

THAT WHEN I BROUGHT THAT FORWARD TO THE BOARD, I WANT TO SAY MY LAST, NOT SPRING OF 20, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SPRING OF 21.

I BROUGHT THAT FORWARD THAT WAS TIED TO THE LOCAL COUNTRY APPLICATION.

THAT VIRTUAL PROFICIENCY WAIVER WAS APPROVED FOR OUR STUDENTS WITHIN LOW COUNTRY VIRTUAL PROGRAM.

IT IS GOOD FOR FIVE YEARS.

DID I GIVE ENOUGH CLARIFICATION OR DID I MAKE IT MURKY FOR YOU? I'M SORRY.

UM, I THINK I GOT IT.

OKAY.

SO FOR INITIAL CREDIT, WE DO HAVE TO WRITE ANOTHER WAIVER, RIGHT? I HAVE SPOKEN TO LAURA MCNAIR AT LENGTH FOR CREDIT RECOVERY PROFICIENCY WITH WAIVER DOES COME INTO PLACE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO IF I HAVE I'VE ALREADY STARTED, OF COURSE I HAVE BEEN ABSENT AND THEY NOW WANT ME TO DO SEAT TIME AND I FAILED A COURSE THAT IS NOT INITIAL CREDIT.

THAT IS CREDIT RECOVERY PROFICIENCY MAY BE UTILIZED.

OKAY.

YES, MA'AM THANK YOU.

LET ME ASK MY FELLOW COMMITTEE MEMBERS, IF THEY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, MR. CAMPBELL, I NEED CLARIFICATION ON THAT.

OUR TEAM C IS A COMPONENT.

THINK WHAT I HEARD YOU SAY WAS THEY

[00:30:01]

PLACE ONCE A ROTC FOR PHYS ED, BUT IT DOES NOT CARRY THE HEALTH COMPONENT.

WE HAVE TO SHOW THAT OUR STUDENTS AND I DON'T WANT TO OUTSPEAK ON THE, I BELIEVE THERE IS 16 AREAS THAT HAVE TO BE TOUCHED MR. UH, MR. CAMPBELL.

AND WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SHOW THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE MET THOSE HAVE BEEN EXPOSED TO THOSE AREAS OF CURRICULUM.

NOT ALL PHYSICAL EDUCATION TEACHERS ARE JR.

GO AHEAD.

YES, SIR.

YES, SIR.

OKAY.

AND, UH, WHAT, SO NOW YOU'RE WORKING ON ASSURING THAT THE ROTC PROGRAM DOES THAT.

YEAH.

SO THE SCHOOL COULD HAVE THE HEALTH TEACHER COME IN AND ACTUALLY TEACH THOSE REQUIRED COMPONENTS.

SO IT GIVES SOME FLEXIBILITY THAT REGARD WITH, YEAH.

OKAY.

I JUST WANTED TO KNOW WHETHER THEY HAD TO TAKE ANOTHER COURSE TO ASSUME IT AS COMPONENT, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE, IT'S GOING TO BE WAVED INTO THE ROTC COMPONENT.

IT, IF THE SCHOOL CHOOSES TO TAKE THAT AVENUE, THAT'S GOING TO BE UP TO THE PURVIEW OF THAT PRINCIPAL.

YES, SIR.

ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE THAT TO THE PRINCIPAL? WELL, IT'S AN EASIER AVENUE TO GO THAT WAY, BUT MAYBE NOT ALL SCHOOLS MAY HAVE, THEY MAY TAKE IT ELECTRONICALLY.

THEY MAY HAVE THE KIDS DO A GOOGLE.

THEY MAY HAVE THE TEACHER COME IN.

SO I GOT AS LONG AS THE ROTC, UH, YOU KNOW, THE INSTRUCTORS AND ADMINISTRATION IS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

I, MAN, I, YOU KNOW, THAT'S WHAT I WOULD LOOK AT IT THAT I HAVE LOOKED AT IT LIKE, IT'S THE COURSE THAT'S BEING OFFERED IN OUR DEPARTMENT IS OFF WHEN THAT COURSE, AND IF IT IS GOING TO COVER SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE CREDITED FOR AND NOT CREDITED.

ADDITIONALLY, YOU DON'T GET ADDITIONAL CREDIT FOR HEALTH.

NO, BUT WE WANT CONFIRMATION THAT THE STUDENTS HAVEN'T BEEN EXPOSED TO THAT CURRICULA.

YEAH.

AND I, IT WOULD, FROM THE DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE, I WOULD LIKE TO EITHER BE IN A COURSE THAT YOU'RE EMBEDDING THESE AREAS OF CURRICULUM OR CERTIFIED TEACHER ADDRESSING IT.

DOES IT A TWO POINTS FROM THE DISTRICTS? YEAH.

IT'S SPAM BECAUSE YOU'RE LIVING EVERY SCHOOL WILL DEVELOP THEIR OWN COMPONENT FOR THAT.

AS LONG AS THEY'RE MEETING AT LEAST THOSE TWO QUICK, THOSE TWO COMPONENTS OF REQUIREMENTS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING.

YES, SIR.

COLONEL GUY, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU.

OKAY.

PROCEEDING ON.

THANK YOU, DR.

.

YES.

SO WITH THE NEXT ARS, WE HAVE ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION.

I IS 38 AND I AS 38.1.

NOW I HAVE HELD COLLEEN BECKON BARSKY UM, AND WENDY AND TEAM ON THIS, I WOULD REALLY LIKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LET COLLEEN WALK US THROUGH THIS BECAUSE THEY HAVE DONE UNBELIEVABLY EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND WORK.

YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT.

IS NEW CARLENE.

ARE YOU ABLE TO JOIN IN? SORRY, MY MUTE BUTTON.

WASN'T NO WAY.

YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU.

UM, YES.

SO WE HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF EDITS ON THIS ONE.

UM, MOST BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL AR WAS PRETTY OUTDATED AND IT WAS FAIRLY LONG, SO WE WANTED TO SIMPLIFY IT TO MAKE IT MORE READABLE, UM, EASIER TO FOLLOW.

AND THEN OF COURSE, REFERENCE THE STATE, UH, GUIDELINES THAT CAME THROUGH, I BELIEVE IN DECEMBER OF THIS PAST YEAR, UM, THEY WERE ISSUED OUT TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO REFERENCE.

UM, SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE INCORPORATED THE PIECES THAT IN THEIR MODEL POLICY, AS WELL AS REFER OUR NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, UM, THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION AND AMERICAN SCHOOL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION TO MAKE SURE WE HAD ALL OF OUR COMPONENTS IN ORDER.

SO GREAT DEAL OF RESEARCH DID GO INTO THIS.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE UP I S 38 AND AN ISA 38.1.

SO I, AS 38 REFERENCES THE SELECTION AND ADOPTION, UM, COMPONENTS AND A GOOD BIT OF THIS WAS IN CONDENSING AND WORDING AGAIN, JUST TO MAKE IT EASIER TO BREATHE, UM, AS YOU GO THROUGH HERE.

SO IT DISCUSSES THE, UM, THE ROLE OF THE SCHOOL LIBRARIAN, BUT ALSO THE, UH, SELECTION PROCESS AND THE GUIDELINES THAT AGAIN, THE STATE HAS PUT OUT IN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATIONS ARE REFERENCED THROUGH BOTH OF OUR LANGUAGE WITHIN THE AR HERE, AND YOU CAN KEEP GOING.

AND AGAIN, A LOT OF THOSE EDITS YOU SEE WERE JUST CONDENSED INTO SOME ADDITIONAL WORDING TO MAKE IT SIMPLER FOR THE END

[00:35:01]

USER TO READ.

SO HERE IN THESE TOPICS HERE, AGAIN, WILLS IN THE, UH, STATE MODEL POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD ALL OF THE SAME LANGUAGE WITHIN THE AR PP CONTINUE GOING DOWN THERE.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THE ORGANIZATION OF THE LIBRARY, BUT ALSO THE DE-SELECTION AND THIS WAS NOT CAPTURED IN THE STATE POLICY, BUT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE COLLECTION STAYS UP TO DATE.

SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO CAPTURE, UM, FROM THE STANDARDS DOCUMENT THAT THEY HAVE ON FILE, HOW THE WEEDING PROCESS WITH A DE-SELECTION, UH, OCCURS IN THE DISTRICT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING CURRENT IN THE SELECTIONS THAT ARE IN THERE.

SO WE DID HAVE A WHAT TO INCLUDE THAT ADDITION IN OUR AR AND YOU KEEP GOING FROM HERE ON, IT STARTS TO, TO, UH, TO WHAT HAS BECOME 38.1.

SO THIS IS THAT CHALLENGING PART OF THE SCHOOL LIBRARY REFERENCE.

SO ALL OF THIS HAS BEEN NOW MOVED INTO A NEW, UH, S 38.1.

AND AGAIN, THAT'S JUST TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESSES AND THEN PUT SOME MORE CLARITY AROUND WHAT CAN BE DONE.

IF THERE IS A CHALLENGE AROUND A PARTICULAR SCHOOL LIBRARY RESOURCE.

YOU WANT ME TO GO ONTO 38.1 NOW? YEAH.

SO LET'S JUST QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ONE FIRST.

THEN I CAN ADDRESS THIS OR TALK ABOUT THAT AND THEN MOVE ON TO THIS CHALLENGE.

UH, I HAVE NO QUESTIONS, MR. CAMPBELL GEIER OR QUESTIONS.

OKAY, THANK YOU, PLEASE.

GO ON.

SO JUST ON A QUICK NOTE, AS YOU LOOK AT 38.1, I WANT TO MAKE NOTE THAT IT IS IN RED BECAUSE IT IS BRAND NEW.

SO YOU WON'T SEE UPDATES, RIGHT? IT IS A BRAND NEW AR SO 38.1 IS THE PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING SOME QUESTION OR CHALLENGE SCHOOL LIBRARY MATERIALS.

SO THIS IS A WAY IF, UM, THERE IS A PARTICULAR ITEM THAT SOMEONE DOES WANT TO, UM, CHALLENGE, THEN THIS FOLLOWS THE FULL PROCESS FOR THEM.

SO IT IS NEW.

IT TOOK SOME OF WHAT WAS FROM OUR OLD AR UM, THE ITEMS FROM THE STATE MODEL POLICY, AND BASICALLY CONDENSE THEM INTO THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

UM, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE THAT YOU MAY SEE IS WE'VE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL OPTION FOR PARENTS THAT IF IT'S AN OPT-OUT OF A SCHOOL LIBRARIAN, SO THEY ARE LIBRARY RESOURCE.

SO IF THEY DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO CHALLENGE IF FULL DISTRICT, BUT THEY JUST DON'T WANT THEIR STUDENT OR THEIR CHILD TO HAVE ACCESS TO THAT, IT GIVES THEM THAT OPTION AS WELL.

SO THAT DOES LOOK A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE STATE POLICY, BUT REFERENCING NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, THAT WAS A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE THOUGHT WAS A GREAT OPTION FOR, UM, OUR AR OTHERWISE, AS YOU MOVE THROUGH FOR THE RIGHTS TO CHALLENGE, IF THAT DOES HAPPEN, LIKE, AND TO HAVE THE TWO OPTIONS, EITHER OPT OUT FOR THEIR CHILD OR TO PUT IN A FORMAL, UM, RECONSIDERATION, UM, FORM.

AND THAT CHALLENGE THEN COMES HERE TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE FOR REVIEW, AND YOU CAN CONTINUE.

SO I, UM, ROMAN NUMERAL THREE KIND OF OUTLINES HOW THAT PROCESS LOOKS AND WHAT EXACTLY THAT MEANS.

SO WHEN A REQUEST IS RECEIVED, WHAT DO WE DO? UM, SO IF YOU LOOK AT, SEE HERE, IT SAYS TO EVALUATE THAT THEN WE APPOINTED COMMITTEE THAT WILL REVIEW THAT BOOK.

SO THIS IS TAKEN FROM THE STATE MODEL POLICY AS WELL ON WHO THAT COMMITTEE CONSISTS OF US.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD WHAT THE STATE HAS RECOMMENDED THERE, AND YOU CAN CONTINUE.

AND THEN WHAT THAT COMMITTEE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

SO WHEN THAT COMMITTEE IS DEVELOPED, WHAT DO THEY NEED TO DO? SO IT OUTLINES ALL THE PIECES THAT THAT COMMITTEE FOLLOWS TO REVIEW THAT ITEM, THE LIBRARY, SCHOOL LIBRARY RESOURCE, AND DETERMINE WHETHER IT IS APPROPRIATE OR INAPPROPRIATE BASED OFF OF THE ITEMS THAT THE CHALLENGE HAS COME IN AS, AND THEN THE PROCEDURES FROM THERE, THERE IS AN APPEALS PROCESS IN THERE ALSO.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE WHAT THAT LANGUAGE READS FOR.

IF SOMEONE WANTS TO APPEAL THE DECISION OF THE COMMITTEE, AND THEN YOU REFERENCE POINTS, OH, THERE, SORRY, THERE'S THE FORM.

THAT'S THE FIRST OPT-OUT FORM.

SORRY.

I FORGOT TO INCLUDED THE PORT IS ON THAT ONE.

THAT'S THE OPT-OUT FORM FOR A PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN.

AND THEN THE SECOND FORM THAT'S ON THERE IS THE FORMAL CHALLENGE.

CAN YOU, SO THIS PATIENT, EXCUSE ME, THIS FORM

[00:40:01]

WOULD BE THE FORM THAT A PARENT LIKE OUR CALLER, WHO JUST CALLED IN WOULD BE ASKED TO SUBMIT.

AND THEN ONCE THIS WOULD BE SUBMIT, WHO WOULD HE SUBMIT IT TO THE SCHOOL? THE POLICY GOES TO, IF IT'S A DISTRICT-WIDE RECONSIDERATION, IT GOES TO THE CHIEF INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES OFFICER OR DESIGNEE.

AND THEN IT'S, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR.

WHAT'S FOLLOWED THROUGH FROM HERE, MR. CAMPBELL.

IT'S A COMMITTEE CENTRALIZED FIVE SCHOOL, HIGH SCHOOL, VERY VIEW COMMITTEE CENTRAL OFFICE, THIS OFFICE, OR THEY ARE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS THAT HAVE COMMITTED FOR PROCESS WHEN SOMEBODY COMPLAINS ABOUT A MATERIAL BY COMMITTEE, RIGHT? YES.

ROBIN, IF YOU SCROLL UP TO THE SECOND PAGE THERE, IT OUTLINES TWO WOULD BE ON THAT COMMITTEE.

OH, OKAY.

IS IT, I MEAN, WHO, WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW THAT RIGHT THERE.

SO MR. CAMPBELL, YES.

HERE IS RECORDS RECOMMENDATION FOR REC FOR REPRESENTATION FROM THE SCHOOL SPECIFIC AS WELL.

SO FOR, I BELIEVE HIS LANGUAGE FOR THE SIC CHAIR.

SO IT IS DISTRICT AND SCHOOL PERSONNEL.

IT'S DIRECTED BASICALLY BY THE DISTRICT.

THE DISTRICT DEVELOPS THE COMMITTEE.

YEAH.

THAT'S WHAT I WANT.

UM, AND THE STATE DIRECTS THIS, UH, INITIATIVE, BUT WE GO ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL, WE STAYED WITH THE LANGUAGE OF THE STATE.

WE RECEIVED A MEMORANDUM FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WITH AN ATTACHED MODEL POLICY.

SO WE FOLLOWED THE MODEL POLICY AND THEN WE ADDED SOME ADDITIONS TO, YEAH.

ALRIGHT, THANK YOU.

YEAH, I, UM, I DON'T LIKE CENSORSHIP.

I LIKE, UH, ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE VERY EASY FOR A PARENT TO OPT OUT OR HIS CHILD.

I THINK IT SHOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO HAVE A SYSTEM-WIDE, UH, REMOVAL.

I THINK THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE THE EXCEPTION RATHER THAN THE RULE.

UM, THERE'S A LOT OF, UH, AUTHORS, UH, SALINGER, CLEMENS, CARL, MARCH, OTHERS THAT PEOPLE WOULD SAY WOULD BE, ARE JUST TERRIBLE BECAUSE THEY USE THE N WORD.

THEY USE THE, UM, ANTI-CAPITALIST ANTI FREEDOM, UH, LANGUAGE.

AND I, I BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT LIBRARY IT WOULD BE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL VERSUS HIGH SCHOOL, ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SO ON.

I MEAN, I, I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT, UM, I, I WOULD WANT TO BE VERY, VERY CAREFUL FREEDOM OF SPEECH INCLUDES FREEDOM TO READ AND, UH, THIS, BUT I, IT SOUNDS LIKE THAT THIS WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT THING TO HAVE A SYSTEM-WIDE, UH, CENSORSHIP.

SO I THINK IT'S FINE.

YEAH.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

IT WILL BE UP TO THE DISTRICT.

THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO KNOW THAT THROUGH GAGE THE DIRECTION OF, OF THOSE COMPLAINTS, BECAUSE AT THE SAME TIME WE ARE TRYING TO EDUCATE AND A NON-RESTRICTIVE MANNER.

SO IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE, YOU KNOW, PERTINENT TO UP FOR US THOUGH, TO KEEP A NATIONAL SCOPE ON, IN MIND, AS WE MONITOR ABOVE IT.

THAT'S WHY I WAS WONDERING WHETHER THE STATE WAS SENDING DOWN THE DIRECTIVES OR NOT.

AND HOW MUCH DO WE CONFORM VERSUS HOW MUCH WE PUSHED THE ENVELOPE.

AND THAT'S, THAT'S AN

[00:45:01]

AGE, OLD PROBLEM IN EDUCATION, BUT PARTICULARLY IN BUFORD COUNTY VERSUS THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

SO NOW THAT YOU KNOW, THAT'S GOING TO BE, THAT'S GOING TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF, OF WHO YELLS THE LOUDEST AND HOW WE, HOW WE RESPOND TO IT IN TERMS OF WHERE WE GET IT AND OUR TOTAL PACKAGE OF, OF EDUCATING, IF THAT MAKES EVERYBODY THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU, UH, BY JUST TALKING CRAZY.

UH, YOU'RE NOT TALKING CRAZY, SIR.

OH, OKAY.

YOU UNDERSTAND IF I MAY PLEASE, SO PARENTS WILL HAVE TWO OPTIONS, RIGHT? WE HAVE TWO FORMS. ONE IS TO REFUTE A BOOK BEING ON OUR SHELVES.

THE OTHER IS FOR THAT, MY CHILD, NOT TO PARTAKE WITHIN THIS ASSIGNMENT.

SO LET'S RECOGNIZE WE HAVE THOSE TWO ITEMS TO DATE.

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THAT REQUEST.

I WILL FOLLOW UP.

I HAVE GONE THROUGH MY DOCUMENTS PRIOR AND AGAIN TODAY, UM, ACKNOWLEDGING A POINT OF REFERENCE THAT WAS MADE.

UM, I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH ANOTHER PHONE CALL BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S MY DUE DILIGENCE TO DO THAT AS WELL.

BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO OPPORTUNITIES, UM, THAT COULD BE FILLED OUT THE, AGAIN, TWO PULLING MATERIALS, OR I DON'T WANT MY CHILD TO BEING A PART OF SOMETHING.

AND THAT IS A RIGHT OF A PARENT.

SO, BUT THAT PULLING THE MATERIAL LIKE A DIET IS CONCERNED.

AND I THINK THAT BY LOOKING AT THE STRUCTURE OF THE COMMITTEE, IT'S, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FROM DIFFERENT SCHOOLS.

THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FROM THE, YOU KNOW, PARTICULAR SCHOOL THAT THE PARENT COMES.

I THINK THERE'S, UM, I THINK IT'S PRETTY, THE PROCEDURE'S PRETTY WELL THOUGHT OUT, UM, COULD BE TIME CONSUMING.

UM, BUT I DO THINK THE PROCEDURE AS ILLUSTRATED IN HERE IS WELL THOUGHT OUT IT'S A WHOLE, IT'S A HOLISTIC REVIEW.

YEAH.

THAT WAS GOOD.

THAT WAS EQUILIBRIUM IN TERMS OF DIRECTION.

YOU DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT CAN SLAP THE NARRATIVE PARTICULARLY.

RIGHT.

SO, UM, THAT BRINGS ME TO MY QUESTION TO MY, MY COMMITTEE.

UM, I THINK OF THESE, THESE ARS THAT HAVE BEEN UPDATED, I THINK THAT THIS ONE I ASKED 38 SHOULD, IN MY OPINION, WARRANTS A FULL PRESENTATION TO THE BOARD.

UM, THE OTHERS, I FEEL LIKE COULD BE PUT ON CONSENT AGENDA BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEM, THERE'S NOT MUCH RED.

YOU KNOW, THERE, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN MODIFIED THAT MUCH, BUT THAT'S MY OPINION.

WHAT DO YOU, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? I AGREE WITH YOU.

I THINK ANYTHING THAT WAS DONE EARLIER BEFORE WE GET TO THIS IS MOSTLY DIRECTED BY REGULAR REGULATION.

SO YEAH, I AGREE.

THIS IS ANOTHER STEP THAT THE BOARD NEED TO BE CONSCIOUS OF BECAUSE I THINK WE DO NEED TO GO BECAUSE IT'S THE DIRECTION THINGS MIGHT GO AND WE DON'T APPROVE ARS, ROBIN, WHAT ARE YOU? YOU WERE JUST GOING TO SAY THAT RIGHT.

OR ACCEPT THEM.

WHAT DO YOU CALL? SO THEREFORE I WOULDN'T PUT IT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA BECAUSE YOU'RE, SO YOU, BECAUSE YOU DON'T APPROVE THEM.

RIGHT.

SO WE, UH, W WE SAVED NOTICE RE YEAH, WE COULD PUT, UM, THIS ONE, I, I WOULD LIKE A PRESENTATION BY DR.

STRATUS TO THE, TO THE BOARD, THE OTHERS, WE COULD JUST PUT UNDER THE, UM, UNDER THE COMMITTEE, UNDER THE COMMITTEE REPORT AND JUST SAY, RIGHT.

THAT THEY WERE REVIEWED AND PEOPLE COULD, WHAT DO YOU THINK, UH, CURB MEL, YOU AGREE? RIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

CLOWN DYER.

I CAN CAREFULLY.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

SO COULD I JUST CLARIFY WHEN WE'RE PREPARING THE AGENDA UNDER ACADEMIC COMMITTEE, THAT WE WILL HAVE PRESENTATION FOR THE IAS 38 AND 38.1 LISTED ON THE AGENDA? SO RICE THAT'S CORRECT.

OKAY.

THAT SOUNDS GREAT.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

UM, ALL RIGHT.

DISCUSSION OF FUTURE TOPICS,

[00:50:02]

ANY ANYBODY HAVE SOMETHING? WELL, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, WELL OF FOLLOW-UP OR, OR STATUS OF PROGRESS FOR THE COUNTY, UH, PROFILE, GRADUATE PROFILE, THE WAY WE ARE WITH THAT.

AS WE GO INTO ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR, MADAM CHAIR, I HAVE A TOPIC I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT AND, AND HOW IT RELATES TO A FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS ARE BEING CONDUCTED TO AS A LEARNING TOOL, NOT JUST AN ASSESSMENT TOOL.

AND THIS IS FROM THE RICK STIGGINS MODE THAT I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT.

AND I'M, UH, IT'S A ASSESSMENT TO LEARN, AND THAT'S, UH, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE REST OF THE BOARD EXPOSED, UH, TO THAT CONCEPT.

YEAH, I THINK THAT'S OUR, THEY DO THAT.

I DON'T KNOW WHEN DR.

STRATIS THEN RESPOND TO THAT, BUT THEY DO HAVE THAT DISCUSSING.

SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS UPDATE OUR ASSESSMENT PROPOSED CALENDAR.

YES.

WE DO HAVE A MODEL OF ASSESSMENTS FOR, FOR LEARNING VERSUS ALL LEARNING.

WE ARE RESHAPING OUR FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS AS A RESULT OF THE ONCE AGAIN, THE WRITING WITHIN RUBICON, AND WE ARE PUTTING IN PLACE TO BENCHMARK INTERIM ASSESSMENTS PER GRADE LEVEL IN THE AREAS OF ELA, AS WELL AS MATH TO HELP DRIVE INSTRUCTION.

SO WE HAVE INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO SHARE, UM, WHICH WOULD BE WITH REGARD TO HOW WE ARE UPDATING IN OUR PRACTICES, IF THAT'S IS TO THE PLEASURE OF THE COMMITTEE.

DOES THAT HIT YOUR TARGET FOR LOOK HIGHER? TOTALLY.

YEP.

GOOD.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

DON'T WE HAVE A MARY, YOU SAID IT'S AN E THAT'S DOING IN JULY.

I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET TO WHICH IT IS 12, BUT I THOUGHT, UH, YEAH, THAT'S THE INSTRUCTION ONE.

UM, SHOULD I HAVE THE WRONG BOOK HERE? UM, I BELIEVE IT'S OH, EIGHT, 12, I BELIEVE SO.

YES.

MA'AM YES.

I WAS LOOKING AT WHAT YOU SENT.

OKAY.

SO, UM, DR.

STRATUS, WAS IT YOUR FEELING THAT YOU WOULD PRESENT TO THE COMMITTEE PRIOR TO SUB, UH, PRESENTING IT TO THE FULL BOARD? THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING.

IF NOT, I WILL DO IT TO THE BOARD IF I COULD HAVE IT.

SO TOWARDS THE LATTER PART OF JULY, YEAH.

WELL, LET'S PICK A COMMITTEE AND PROBABLY MY GUESTS IN THAT I THINK IT TALKS ABOUT FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT.

SHE COULD, YEAH, YOU COULD MAYBE A PROPER BACK PART IN THERE AS WELL.

SO GO AHEAD, ROBIN.

OUR NEXT MEETING WOULD BE JULY 27TH AND ON JULY 27 IS THE RETIREMENT RECEPTION THAT IS GOING TO BE HELD AT TCL AND BLUFFTON.

OKAY.

SO DO YOU WANT TO MOVE YOUR MEETING OR DO THE MEETING EARLIER? BECAUSE I THINK THE RECEPTION, IS IT SIX, FIVE OR SIX? OKAY.

I WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO MOVE, MOVE THE MEETING.

OKAY.

UM, WHAT ABOUT THE 26 RIGHT NOW? THAT IS OPEN.

OKAY.

LET ME JUST MAKE SURE THE 26 I'M GOOD FOR THAT.

OKAY.

WE WOULDN'T NEED TO START

YEAH.

AND REALLY, I THINK ON OUR AGENDA FOR THE, OUR JULY ACADEMIC COMMITTEE MEETING, I THINK WE SHOULD JUST HAVE THE ONE TOPIC.

OH, E 12.

UM, BECAUSE THAT'S QUITE LENGTHY.

AND I DO THINK, UM, YOU KNOW, THE, UH, ASSESSMENTS MAYBE, MAYBE FOLDED IN THERE, AND THEN WE CAN GET AN UPDATE AT OUR NEXT ONE ON THE BUFORD COUNTY GRADUATE.

IF THAT ISN'T IN THERE.

IS THAT, DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YEAH, THAT'S FINE, RIGHT BY ME, MRS. ROBOT.

AND IF I MAY, UH, BECAUSE FOR SPORT BOARD MEETING IN AUGUST, IT IS, UM, SUMMER INSTITUTE AND THE TEAM WILL BE A LITTLE ENGAGED.

IS IT POSSIBLE MAYBE AS YOU'RE CONSIDERING THE JULY 12TH BOARD MEETING AGENDA, MAYBE THAT COULD BE A TOPIC, ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T MENTIONED YESTERDAY, SAY THAT AGAIN, SUGGESTING THE BUFORD UPDATE ON THE BUFORD GRADUATE.

JULY 12TH.

YES.
