I THINK YOU'RE READING OFF THE NAMES.
LIKE WE REFLECT, LIKE WE DID THE TEACHER OF THE YEARS AND SO FORTH.
I JUST ASKED BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO GAUGE HOW MUCH TIME THAT'S GOING TO TAKE.
I THINK WE'RE READING OFF THE NAMES, BUT I'LL, I'LL MAKE SURE
[00:05:03]
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT.I, I DID GET FEEDBACK FROM ONE COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBER ON THE LETTER WE SENT ABOUT B FOR HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE.
SO THE TITLE COULD JUST BE FEEDBACK HERE.
UPDATE EITHER ONE UPDATE FROM COUNTY COUNCIL OR, UM, ELLA GOT RESPONSE FROM ONE MEMBER.
SO BANKS HAVE TO MAKE A SINGULAR.
CAN YOU HEAR ME? LET ME BACK UP.
AND WE CAN SAY ON BUFORD HIGH SCHOOL ENTRANCE, THAT'LL BE QUICK.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW, AT LEAST ONE COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBER RESPONDED.
COMMITTEE REPORTS, ANYTHING BIG THERE? WELL, ACADEMICS WERE HAVING OH, E 12 PRESENTED TOMORROW.
IS THAT, YOU KNOW, INSTRUCTIONAL PIECE? UM, IT'S QUITE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S LIKE A PRETTY IMPORTANT INFORMATION, I THINK.
UM, SO I DON'T KNOW THE COMMITTEE, PERHAPS THE COMMITTEE WILL DECIDE TOMORROW WHETHER WE PUT IT UNDER CONSENT AGENDA OR WHETHER WE ASK THAT IT BE PRESENTED TO THE FULL BOARD.
WHAT DO YOU THINK DAVID? UH, THIS LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG MEETING, SO MY TENDENCY IS TO WANT TO PUT IT UNDER CONSENT.
YOU THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS NOW? YEAH.
I MEAN, SOMEONE CAN PULL IT OFF IF THEY WANT IT.
BUT I THINK THAT THE O E REPORTS PRETTY, UM, EXPLANATORY ONCE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE, WE'VE RECEIVED IT AND I HAVEN'T LOOKED AT IT IN DETAIL, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN A FORM.
IS THERE ANOTHER ITEM? THE, UM, THE WAY YOU CHALLENGED BOOKS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S CALLED.
WELL, WE ARE, UM, NO, I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, WE'RE, THAT'S ON OUR AGENDA TOMORROW FOR THAT.
I PUT IT BACK ON THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE AGENDA SO THAT, UM, UH, THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE CHANCE TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
AND THEN IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE WOULD BRING FOR, WE WOULD HAVE TO RECOMMEND, UH, YOU KNOW, IF THE COMMITTEE THOUGHT THAT THE AR NEEDED TO BE MODIFIED BECAUSE WE DON'T, YOU KNOW, WE ACCEPT THEM.
WE WANTED TO GIVE BASED ON THAT IF WE WANTED TO GIVE SOME INPUT, I GUESS THAT WOULD BE THERE.
BUT I JUST, UH, THINK IT'LL JUST BE A REPORT THAT, UM, IT WAS BROUGHT UP AGAIN OR SOMETHING.
I, I JUST PUT IT BACK ON THE AGENDA SO THAT, UM, THERE COULD BE SOME SEMBLANCE OF DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
THERE MIGHT BE AN OPERATIONS MEETING ON THE 28TH.
THEY'RE STILL WORKING THROUGH THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME DOCUMENTS, UM, BUT ARS OR SOME THINGS THAT ARE HOPING TO COME OUT AND COME TO THE FULL BOARD ON TUESDAY.
SO WE, WE ALSO, UM, ARE HOPING THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE BATTLE FIRE SAFETY POLICY THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE BOARD APPROVAL AND WE HAVE TO SUBMIT IT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL BE ABLE TO GO ON THURSDAY POLICY MET AND THEY HAVE A S UM, THEY DO HAVE SOME RECOMMENDATIONS.
SO I'LL PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA TO COME TO THE FULL BOARD.
ALRIGHT, STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, WE GOT 20, 20 IT'S PRE KICKOFF.
IS THAT NEXT YEAR? YEAH, THESE ARE, THESE ARE JUST FOR THE BOARD ON THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON TO KIND OF DRIVE THIS SCHOOL YEAR.
UH, SOME OF THEM, A COUPLE OF THEM ARE THINGS WHERE
[00:10:01]
TRYING TO KICK TO THE NEXT LEVEL FROM WHAT WE STARTED LAST YEAR.UH, AND THEN THIS JUST SOME UPDATES SO THAT YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE PUSHING.
IS THERE, IS THERE ANY UPDATE AVAILABLE FRANK ON OUR SUMMER PROGRAM, LIKE A SUMMARY OF, AND THE, ON THE SUMMER SCHOOL? YOU KNOW, I TALKED TO MARY ABOUT, UM, HAVING THAT ON THERE, UH, THIS TIME.
AND SHE, SHE INDICATED THAT THEY WERE STILL PULLING TOGETHER, UH, THE FINAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SUMMER PROGRAM.
SO I DID HAVE IT ON THERE ACTUALLY.
AND THEN, UH, AFTER I SPOKE WITH HER, SHE, I THINK SHE'D LIKE TO BRING THAT BACK AT THE NEXT ONE.
I'M HAPPY THAT YOU, AND I THINK THE, LIKE, YEAH, I JUST FIGURED WE WERE AGAIN RIGHT TO THE END OF THE SUMMER.
THE NEXT ONE WILL BE AFTER SCHOOL STARTS AND I WAS TRYING TO GET IT IN THERE, BUT, UM, OTHER MATTERS THE BACK TO SCHOOL EXPO.
I WANT TO, JUST THIS SATURDAY WE HAVE THE BACK OF THE SCHOOL APP EXPO.
SO I THOUGHT I'D JUST GIVE YOU, GIVE THE PUBLIC AND THE BOARD, JUST SORT OF A SUMMARY OF HOW IT WENT.
WHEN IS THE TEACHER THING ROBIN DOWN AT THE TABBY PLACE? UM, THAT IS ON THE EIGHT.
I JUST ASKED, CAUSE I'M NOT SURE IF WE SHOULD MENTION, UM, THAT'S THE TEACHER APPRECIATION.
THAT'S UM, FIND IT IN A MINUTE, AUGUST, AUGUST.
AND I JUST MENTIONED THAT YOU WANT ME TO PUT THAT FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS? YEAH, I'M THE AGENDA.
THAT'S A GOOD PLACE TO PUT IT.
NO, THE INFORMATION ON THE, UM, ANYWAY, I'LL PUT IT ON THERE.
IT'S NOT AT MY FINGERTIPS AT THE MOMENT.
UM, CAUSE EVERY TIME THAT WE'VE CHANGED A WORK SESSION MEETING, YOU'VE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE BOARD AND ASKED FOR THEM TO VOTE SINCE YOU'VE APPROVED THE CALENDAR ALREADY.
AND THEN IF, IF IT'S OKAY, CAN WE PUT APPROVAL OF THE FIRE SAFETY POLICY, ROBIN, IF OR DO YOU WANT ME TO WAIT UNTIL AFTER 30? AND WE WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE COMMITTEE MEETING? YES.
SO LET'S LOOK AT OUR LOOSE DOWNS.
UM, THE ONE THING THAT YOU HAD AS A AUGUST, BUT WE DIDN'T NECESSARILY SAY WHICH BOARD MEETING WAS THE UVA CALLED COURT TRAINING, AN UPDATE ON THAT? UM, I THINK I PREFER THAT ONE FOR THE SECOND ONE, MAINLY BECAUSE BETWEEN NOW AND AUGUST 15TH, I MEAN, IT'S KIND OF ALL HANDS ON DECK TO GET SCHOOLS OPEN, YOU KNOW? SO I THINK, UH, UM, UNLIKE THE, UH, IF WE CAN DO THAT ON THE SECOND ONE, THAT'D BE BETTER.
SO PUT THAT OUT ON THE AUGUST 16TH.
THE VERY LAST ITEM THERE, THE DEMOGRAPHICS.
DID WE EVER GET THAT TO NOW? I THINK THAT WAS MEL'S REQUEST.
I THINK THERE WAS AN EMAIL FROM, UH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE ADMINISTRATIVE, UH, DEMOGRAPHICS.
THERE WAS AN EMAIL, I THOUGHT THAT WENT OUT FROM ALICE WALTON.
[00:15:01]
PUT THAT TO EMAIL.THAT WAS JUST CONCERNING THE ADMINISTRATION THOUGH.
WAS HE ASKING FOR THAT OR WAS THE CAUSE THAT THAT ALL PROMPTED FROM, UH, AN INDIVIDUAL WHO DIDN'T GET A POSITION AS AN ADMINISTRATOR? SO, ALRIGHT, WELL WE'LL WAIT AND SEE IF IT FOLLOWS UP ONCE MORE, THEN I CAN GO AHEAD AND TAKE IT OFF.
THE ONE THAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT, THE EFFECTS OF THE RECESSION, THE RECESSION WE'LL GET TO THAT AT SOME TIME.
IF THERE EVER WAS, LOOKS GOOD TO ME, RIGHT? I THINK WE'VE WRAPPED IT UP.
