I MOVE, WE APPROVE THE MEETING MINUTES OF AUGUST 29TH.
DISCUSSION ALL THOSE IN FAVOR.
I, I MIDDLETON I THAT IS UNANIMOUS.
AND THEN WE GET TO THE MEAT OF THE MEETING SETTING THIS SEPTEMBER 20TH AGENDA.
WHAT TIME SHOULD WE START EXECUTIVE SESSION? I DON'T BELIEVE THAT OUR EXECUTIVE SESSION ITEMS ARE, I MEAN, THERE'S NOT TOO MANY OF 'EM.
I'VE GOT THREE OF 'EM ON HERE RIGHT NOW.
UH, I DON'T KNOW IF WENDY HAS ANY LEGAL UPDATES OR NOT, BUT, BUT, UH, THE FIRST ITEM I HAVE IS A, A PROPOSAL FOR ST.
HELEN, A JIM THAT'S OUT OF 8%.
UH, THE SECOND IS, UH, BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL, UH, GMP FOR PHASE TWO TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE.
THAT'S REFERENDUM, THERE'S RAT WENDY I THE, UH, LEGAL UPDATES WHEN YOU'RE MUTED.
UH, I MAY HAVE ONE LEGAL UPDATE SO WE CAN PUT IN ONE ROBIN FOR PENDING LEGAL MATTER.
UM, I WAS GONNA ASK, COULDN'T GIVE US AN UPDATE ON THE GUN THING AT WHEEL BRANCH ON EXECUTIVE SESSION.
COULD BE, I GUESS, A SAFETY AND SECURITY THING, RIGHT.
AND I CAN ADD THAT LANGUAGE ROBIN FOR YOU.
SO IS THAT FIVE O'CLOCK OR FOUR 30? IT LOOKS LIKE FIVE O'.
UM, B HIGH SCHOOL IS DOING A VIRTUAL, UM, SO THAT WOULD BE VIRTUAL FOR STUDENT PERFORMANCE.
AND THEN WE HAVE STUDENTS OF THE MONTH.
WELL, OPPONENTS CHAIRMAN'S REPORT.
I DON'T THINK THE CHAIRMAN HAS ANYTHING.
THE CHAIRMAN MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING HERE BECAUSE THE CHAIRMAN GOT A LETTER FROM SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION ABOUT DELEGATES, UM, THIS YEAR.
[00:05:04]
WHO DELEGATES, SO GET SENT IN ASSOCIATION THAT NEEDS TOMORROW.THAT BRINGS US TO YOUR SECTION.
UH, I'VE GOT REALLY, IT'S LIKE, UH, A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT WE'RE TOSSING AROUND, UH, FOR THE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT PIECE, BUT AS A PLACEHOLDER, I THINK WHAT I'LL JUST PUT DOWN IS, UH, TSS.
UM, AND THEN, AND, AND IT, IT MAY BE THAT ONE, OR IT MAY BE SOMETHING ELSE IF THAT'S OKAY WITH YOU, THAT'S RELATED TO STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
UM, AND THEN FURTHER ON DOWN WHERE IT SAYS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
UH, MY UNDERSTANDING WAS THAT ON THAT ESSER UPDATE, I THINK IT'S GONNA BE TALKED ABOUT IN THE FINANCE COMMITTEE PIECE.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THAT THE ESSER UPDATE WOULD GO TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE AND OUT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE, AS OPPOSED TO IN THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT IT, UM, THAT'S THE MOTION UP UNDER THE FINANCE.
THEY'RE RECOMMENDING IT TO GO TO FINANCE, LET THEM VET IT AND THEN MOVE TO THE NEXT AVAILABLE MEETING.
UM, SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF WE WERE GOING UNTIL IF WE ARE PUTTING, YOU STILL HAVE TO HAVE IT ON THERE IN CASE THE MOTION DOESN'T PASS.
IF THE MOTION PASSES, THEN WE, THEN THIS IS VOID.
SO YOU'RE REALLY LOOKING AT IT REALLY FOR THE NEXT MEETING THE NEXT TIME.
I CAN'T IMAGINE THE MOTION, NOT PASSING BUTTON.
I DON'T, YOU KNOW, MM-HMM
I WAS THINKING THAT, UM, THE, THAT WE WOULD JUST STILL HAVE THE SR UPDATE, SO WE WOULDN'T GET BEHIND.
I MEAN, AS OPPOSED TO NOW WAIT ANOTHER MONTH FOR THAT TO GO TO THE YEAH.
SO I WOULD LEAVE THERE AND DO BOTH.
WHAT'S THE ISSUE OF THAT? NO, I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S AN ISSUE.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT DAVID WAS SAYING TOO.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE SAYING THE OPPOSITE.
I THINK DAVID WAS SAYING LEAVE IT THERE.
BECAUSE WHAT IF THE MOTION DOESN'T PASS? WELL, I WAS THINKING IF THE MOTION DOES PASS, LEAVE IT THERE AND JUST DO IT, THIS, THIS, UH, AT THIS MEETING NEXT, ANOTHER MEETING FOR IT TO GO TO THE FINANCE COMMITTEE.
UM, AND I THINK CHAIRMAN'S REPORT.
YOU WANT JUST PUT SCS B DELEGATE ASSEMBLY.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD TO DONATION AGENDA.
UM, SO WE COULD HAVE ANOTHER BOARD BUSINESS ACTION ITEM.
I BELIEVE DAVID, YOU AND I, AND, AND FRANK, UH, GOT THE NOTIFICATION FROM, UH, THE, FROM DEBBIE ELMORE THAT THEY ACTUALLY DID NOT ACCEPT THE LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL, UH, REGARDING, UM, BASICALLY, UH, ALLOWING, UM, IT WAS ALLOWING, UH, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, YOUR TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO HAVE 25% OF THE STAFF NON-CERTIFIED THEY DIDN'T ACCEPT THAT SHE, SHE WROTE
[00:10:01]
US THAT WE CAN BRING IT FORWARD TO THE DELEGATE, DELEGATE ASSEMBLY, BRING IT ON THE FLOOR.UM, SO WE COULD VOTE ON IT ON THIS MEETING.
I DON'T THINK IT REALLY HAS TO GO BACK TO LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE BECAUSE WE ALREADY BROUGHT IT OUT OF THE COMMITTEE AND BROUGHT IT FORWARD.
THIS MEETING IT'S FAR FROM THE, UM, FAR FROM THE DELEGATE ASSEMBLY, WHICH IS TYPICALLY IN EARLY DECEMBER, WE CAN WAIT ON IT.
UH, DEBBIE ELMORE DID SEND ME AN, I THINK SHE DID NOT COPY YOU OR DR.
IF WE BRING IT TO THE FLOOR OF THE ASSEMBLY AND YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT IT IN ADVANCE, UH, THAT'S REALLY THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IF WE'RE GONNA BRING IT TO THE FLOOR.
SO THE SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION, UH, BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS NOT GONNA PUT IT ON THE LEGISLATIVE AGENDA.
I THINK ONE OF THE REASONS THEY MAY HAVE VOTED IT DOWN IS BECAUSE AFTER WE HAD SUBMITTED THAT, RIGHT, OR THE BOARD HAD SUBMITTED THAT AS AN, AS A TOPIC OR AN AGENDA, UM, THE GOVERNOR HAS CONVENED A TASK FORCE ON, UH, CERTIFICATIONS, REALLY, BASICALLY TEACHER CERTIFICATIONS, UH, AND POSSIBILITIES AROUND, AROUND THAT, UM, RECRUITMENT EFFORTS AROUND THAT.
SO THAT MIGHT BE A REASON THEY DIDN'T TAKE IT ON BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THEY'VE GOT A TASK FORCE, THAT'S GONNA BE REVIEWING IT AND, UH, BRINGING RECOMMENDATIONS FORTH TO THEM.
AND SO THEY MAY JUST BE WAITING TO GET THAT, BUT IT'LL BE A WHILE BECAUSE THAT TASK FORCE WAS JUST RECENTLY CONVENED.
AND I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GONNA MEET AT ALL UNTIL THE NEW STATE SUPERINTENDENT, UH, IS, IS, UH, ELECTED.
SO, SO THAT WOULD BE IN A WAY TOO LATE.
I MEAN, WE'RE TALKING THEN, YOU KNOW, OUR NOVEMBER MEETING AND, AND WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA NEED TO MAKE A DECISION ON IT BEFORE THEN, SO YOU WANNA PUT IT ON AND I'M HAPPY TO, UM, BRING, WE CAN LOAD IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT, UH, DEBBIE ELMORE SUPPLIED AND, UM, CUZ I HAD HER PUT IT IN WRITING.
SHE FIRST CALLED ME AND I SAID, WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE IT IN WRITING.
UM, AND UH, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THAT IT WAS THAT THEY DID, DID NOT ACCEPT IT.
THEY ACTUALLY INITIALLY DID ACCEPT IT AND THEN THEY DECIDED NO WITH MORE DISCUSSION AND THEN, UM, AND THEN THE PROPOSED LANGUAGE AND, AND WE CAN DECIDE AT THIS MEETING WHETHER WE WANNA DO IT OR NOT.
LET'S LET'S WAY, LET'S IT WAY DISPOSE OF IT.
WHAT IS IT? THE LEGISLATIVE, UM, WE CAN JUST PUT, UH, SV SBA, UH, UH, PROPOSED, UM, LEGISLATIVE LEGISLATION PROPOSED OR MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT THAT THEY, UH, WHY DON'T ME JUST SAY, UH, DISCUSSION POSSIBLE VOTE ON, UH, LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED TO SC S B A DISCUSSION ON POSSIBLE PROPOSAL DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE VOTE ON LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL SUBMITTED TO SCS B A AND YOU CAN SAY OUR BOARD'S LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL.
ARE YOU GONNA SAY ON EDUCATOR CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OR WHAT TINA? NO, BECAUSE THEY, THEY BROADEN IT'S BROADER THAN THAT.
THEY BROUGHT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN, WE COULD BE BROADER THAN THAT.
SO I THINK WE SHOULD LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS AND EVERYBODY CAN LOOK AT THE DOCUMENTS AND, AND ROBIN I'LL FORWARD YOU THE DOCUMENTS FROM DEBBIE.
UM, SO YOU, SO YOU, THOSE WILL GO ON BOARD DOCS.
SO IT SHOULD BE DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE.
LET'S UH, LOOK AT OUR LOOSE SENTENCE LIST.
SEE, UM, SO THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT WE SAID WORK SESSION, BUT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN TAKING PLACE AND I DIDN'T TAKE OFF LIKE DISCUSSION
[00:15:01]
ON SPECIFIC TRANSPORTATION ROUTE.WAS THAT GIVEN TO YOU EARL DIRECTLY? OR IS THAT A, WAS THAT A NO, I, I, THE LAST TIME I SAID HE COULD TAKE THAT OFF.
YEAH, THERE THERE'S SOME THINGS I WASN'T SURE.
SO I'LL DELETE, DELETE THAT THE PROGRAM AT WILLISTON SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WHAT I I'M PRETTY SURE MRS. UM, WALTON WAS GONNA CHECK ON THAT.
UM, UPDATE ON ANY BLANKET EASEMENT IN THE DISTRICT, WAS THAT INFORMATION MR. SMITH ONLINE, WAS THAT INFORMATION PROVIDED TO YOU, MR. I WERE WORKING ON THAT.
DON'T MR. SMITH ON, ON THAT ONE ON THE, UH, BLANK, ANY BLANKET EASEMENT, UH, YOU YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, UH, VIEW FOR JASPER WATER? UH, NO, THAT, THAT WAS JUST, THAT WAS DISTRICTWIDE.
BUT, BUT, UH, I, YEAH, I UNDERSTAND YOU MEAN DISTRICTWIDE, UH, BUT, BUT WE'RE, WE'RE REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE BEAUFORD JASPER WATER, RIGHT? THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT, THAT COME LOOKING FOR EASEMENTS.
WELL, REALLY ANY EASEMENTS THAT WE'VE GIVEN ANYONE OKAY.
DAYCARE ISSUES FOR STAFF, IS THAT NOT, I MEAN, KEEP THAT, OR DO I TAKE THAT OFF OR WHAT I WOULD SAY LET'S KEEP IT ON THERE FOR THE NEXT WORK SESSION.
AND THAT'S PART OF, I KNOW FRANK, YOU AND I TALKED ABOUT THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND THAT WOULD BE LIKE ONE, ONE PART OF A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR STAFF RECRUITMENT AND POTENTIAL.
I MEAN, WE DO IT, I'M NOT SURE.
I, I KNOW WHAT THE SPECIFIC ASK IS ABOUT THAT ITEM.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? I, I UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT ABOUT THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE DO IN THE PLAN, BUT, BUT ON, ON THE PARTICULAR ITEM, UM, YEAH.
I'D LIKE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND SEE WHAT SHE'S ASKING ABOUT.
I THINK WE REMOVED THE EFFECTS OF THE RESECTION ON THE DISTRICT.
I'M NOT SURE IF THAT'S AN OVERVIEW, I'M NOT SURE.
SO LET'S JUST LEAVE IT FOR THE NEXT WORK SESSION.
EXECUTIVE SESSION FOLDERS, UH, IS MR. SMITH'S I GUESS WE CAN ADD THAT TO MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, THAT ME, THAT IS THE POINT IS WHAT, WHAT STAYS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION FOLDERS AFTER THERE'S A PUBLIC VOTE MAYBE TAKEN OUT OF THOSE FOLDERS? I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ISSUE IS THAT, UH, THAT'S, THAT'S A QUICK CLOSE, RIGHT? I MEAN, WE COULD PROBABLY PUT ON, ON THIS AGENDA.
WHERE SHOULD WE, WHERE SHOULD IT GO? UM, I GUESS BUSINESS TO
[00:20:02]
DISCUSSION LET'S PUT DISCUSSION PUBLIC WOULD VOTE.CAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE ISSUE DR.
I THINK, UH, WENDY'S GONNA HAVE TO WEIGH IN BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A FOYA, UM, A FOYA ISSUE.
FOR EXAMPLE, THE PERSONNEL RATIFICATION REPORT, UH, IS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC WITH MODIFICATIONS.
UM, UH, LIKE AS I RECALL, LIKE YOU, RIGHT ROBIN, LIKE REDACT IT'S REDACTED.
SO SOME OF THE STUFF IS ALREADY, BUT I THINK, UH, UH, ALMOST NOTHING LEGAL IS GOING.
I MEAN, SOMEBODY, I WOULD ALMOST, WELL, I THINK IT'S A, IT REALLY SHOULD BE A, A WENDY DISCUSSION SUPERINTENDENT BECAUSE OF THE LIABILITY.
UM, BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT MATTERS THAT INVOLVE ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGE.
SOMETIMES WE HAVE PROPOSED CONTRACTUAL MATTERS.
AND IF THAT INFORMATION GETS OUT OF THE PUBLIC FORM, POST NEGOTIATIONS ON THE CONTRACT PROBABLY WILL RUIN OUR CONTRACT.
SO WE HAVE CERTAIN ITEMS THAT ARE NOT PUBLIC INFORMATION AFTER PUBLIC VOTE, BECAUSE THERE ARE ITEMS THAT ARE NOT VOTED ON.
SO WE CAN'T REALLY HAVE IN THIS.
THAT'S WHAT, SO WE CAN HAVE THAT DISCUSSION.
THAT WAS THE LAST FUTURE TOPIC ITEM.
ANYTHING ELSE? ANYBODY ELSE HAVE? UH, NO, NOT AT THIS TIME.
SO I THINK WE'VE DONE OUR JOB MOVE TO ADJOURN.
