[00:00:08]
SO I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THIS, UH, MEETING OF THE, UH, BEFOR COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT AGENDA SETTING.
THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IS TO STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, MY PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
UM, MS. MIDDLETON, WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA? YES, MADAM CHAIR.
I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE TODAY'S AGENDA.
IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? OKAY.
ROBIN, DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? NOPE.
SO, UH, THE NEXT ORDER OF BUSINESS IS APPROVAL OF THE OCTOBER 11TH COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES, RABBI, VICE CHAIR, I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THE OCTOBER 11TH, 2022 COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES.
SO THAT GETS US TO THE, UM, PURPOSE OF TODAY'S MEETING, WHICH IS SETTING THE NOVEMBER 1ST, UM, UH, THE AGENDA FOR THE NOVEMBER 1ST MEETING.
SO ON THE, UH, EXECUTIVE SESSION, UH, WE'LL HAVE AN ADULT AT HOMESCHOOL REPORT.
UM, WE WILL HAVE, UM, NEGOTIATIONS FOR PROPERTY ACQUISITION IN, UH, SO IT'S A, UH, BLUFFTON AND THEN PROPERTY ACQUISITION IN OKEE.
UM, SO, UM, I ALSO HAVE ON THEIR EMPLOYMENT MATTER, UM, YES, CATION REPORT.
AND IT WAS ASKED IF WE CAN HAVE A LEGAL UPDATE.
UM, I SPOKE WITH WENDY TODAY AND SHE SAID SHE DID NOT HAVE A LEGAL UPDATE AT THIS TIME.
THIS, THIS WOULD BE ALICE CONCERNING LAST WEEK.
UH, WE WILL HAVE THAT AS PART OF PERSONNEL RATIFICATION REPORT, BUT I JUST WANNA CAUTION EVERYBODY THAT IS A, UH, ONGOING LAW ENFORCEMENT INVESTIGATION.
SO IT WOULD BE, UH, REALLY, REALLY BRIEF AND REALLY LIMITED.
I'LL PUT THAT UNDER PERSONNEL MATTER AND WITH THE PERSONNEL RATIFICATION.
SO DO YOU THINK IN HOURS ENOUGH TIME WITH THE, UH, SOMETIMES LAND PURCHASES TEND TO GET LENGTHY? YEAH, I MEAN, I, I I THINK, UM, UM, I THINK IT PROBABLY IS, UH, I WOULD SUGGEST, UM, BUT IF, BUT I'M, BUT I'M, I'M HAPPY TO GO AT FOUR 30 IF, IF WE WANT THAT CUSHION JUST IN CASE.
UM, ANGELA, DO YOU HAVE ANY FEELINGS ABOUT THAT? YEAH, BECAUSE, UH, PERSONNEL RATIFICATION REPORT ONLY TAKES MAYBE ABOUT 10, 15 MINUTES.
SO THE LAND PERSON STUFF, THEY HAVE 45 MINUTES TO GET THROUGH IT.
I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH TO START AT FIVE.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM ANYONE ELSE WHO'S VIEWING? NO.
SO WE'LL LEAVE IT AT FIVE O'CLOCK.
UH, THEN WE MOVE INTO PUBLIC SESSION.
UM, UH, THOSE THINGS ARE CUSTOMARY.
HANLIN ELEMENTARY, WE'LL BE DOING A STUDENT PERFORMANCE.
THEN WE GET INTO, UM, FIRST PUBLIC COMMENTS, COMMITTEE REPORTS.
IS POLICY COMMITTEE THE ONLY COMMITTEE THAT WILL BE HAVING A REPORT? ROBIN?
[00:05:01]
YES.THAT'S THE ONLY COMMITTEE THAT WILL HAVE MET SINCE OUR LAST REPORT MEETING.
AND THEN THE SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
AND THERE IS, UM, UNDER, UH, SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT, UM, UNDER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, UH, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A TEACHING AND LEARNING UPDATE.
IT'LL BE CALLED TEACHING AND LEARNING UPDATE.
UH, MARY HAS, UH, SEVERAL ITEMS THAT SHE'D LIKE TO JUST UPDATE THE BOARD ON IN TERMS OF, UH, TEACHING AND LEARNING.
AND THEN, UM, UNDER OTHER MATTERS, AT THE LAST, UH, BOARD MEETING, I THINK THERE WAS A FEW TOPICS REQUEST ON, UH, THE, THE LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES AND, AND BOOKS MM-HMM.
AND SO, WE'LL, UH, UNDER OTHER MATTERS, WE'LL LIST, UH, LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES.
LIBRARY MEDIA SERVICES, OR WHAT DO YOU WANNA CALL? I, I, I WOULD, I'LL, I'LL HAVE TO WORK ON THE TITLE OF IT, BUT I'LL THINK IF WE JUST LEAVE THAT RIGHT NOW AS A PLACEHOLDER, IF THAT'S OKAY WITH EVERYONE.
UH, THE INTENT THERE IS TO, IS TO GET AT WHAT THE, UH, FUTURE TOPICS REQUEST WAS.
UM, WE ALSO HAVE WRITTEN DOWN THE COMMUNITY PROJECT REVIEW COMMITTEE FORMAT.
THAT WAS A MISTAKE, BUT WAS THAT ON THERE TO GET, TO GET A UPDATE SINCE YOU EXTENDED THE TIME? UM, I MEAN, I, I, I, I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD SAY OTHER THAN OKAY.
THERE MAY BE SOMETHING COMING OUT OF POLICY COMMITTEE, BUT I THINK THAT WOULD HAPPEN AT POLICY COMMITTEE.
IS WHAT COMES OUT OF POLICY COMMITTEE, UH, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT WOULD REQUIRE A FULL BOARD VOTE? YES.
AND I BELIEVE, UM, RACHEL AND TRISHA ARE BOTH ON, I BELIEVE IT REQUIRES A VOTE, UH, TWO READINGS THAT THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST READING.
MY QUESTION IS, I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU SHOULD, IF I SHOULD PUT IT UNDER THE POLICY COMMITTEE, THE MOTION, OR PUT IT UNDER BOARD BUSINESS AS FIRST READING.
UM, I WOULD PUT THE, PERSONALLY I THINK IT SHOULD GO INTO THE POLICY COMMITTEE REPORT, UM, CUZ I THINK TRISHA HAS SOME GOOD BACKGROUND ON THAT.
AND WE CAN PROVIDE FEEDBACK AND JUST PUT THE, UM, THE LANGUAGE OF THAT, THAT MOTION OR THAT POLICY, UM, AS A SUBHEADING WITH POLICY COMMITTEES REPORT SO THAT EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT IT BEFOREHAND.
NOW, WE DID GET, UH, ANOTHER REQUEST AND I, UM, IT KIND OF TIES INTO A REQUEST WE'VE GOTTEN FROM MR. CAMPBELL BEFORE, BUT WE HAD A, A REQUEST ABOUT, UM, VAPING AND MM-HMM.
I MEAN, ULTIMATELY I THINK WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS, IS, YOU KNOW, YOU, YOU CAN'T HAVE, UH, YOU KNOW, CAMERAS AND BATHROOMS, RIGHT? SO ULTIMATELY WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN IS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, THERE'S JUST STAFF HAS TO CONTINUOUSLY GO IN AND OUT OF THOSE BATHROOMS, YOU KNOW, TO, TO, UH, UH, DETER, YOU KNOW, UH, STUDENTS FROM GOING IN THERE FOR, FOR THAT PURPOSE.
I MEAN, BUT I, I DON'T KNOW WHAT, UH, NOT SURE WHAT, WHAT WE WOULD TALK ABOUT OTHER THAN THAT, YOU KNOW? YEAH.
I, I THINK THERE WAS SOME IDEAS ABOUT EXPLORATE EXPLORING SOME, UM, PROGRAMS THAT OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE USING, APPARENTLY THAT ARE NOT CAMERAS.
[00:10:01]
UM, OKAY.UM, AND I THINK WE ALSO AT ONE POINT DISCUSSED WHETHER THIS WOULD BE A, UM, YOU KNOW, A WORK SESSION.
UM, ITEM ROBIN, WAS THIS ON OUR LIST FROM BEFORE? UM, OR FEATURE TOPICS? LET'S, YEAH.
OH, UH, NO, I DON'T HAVE IT ON THERE.
IT DOESN'T MEAN IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE, BUT I DON'T HAVE IT ON THERE.
UM, EARL OR ALL, WHO, WHO DID YOU TELL ME? YEAH, YEAH, GO AHEAD, EARL.
UM, MY CON MY CONCERN WITH THE VAPING IS THAT I HAVE SPOKEN TO A LOT OF TEACHERS, OTHER STUDENTS AND FOLKS THAT WORK IN SCHOOLS, AND THEY'RE SAYING TO ME THAT THESE STUDENTS GET TO GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST, AND THAT'S IT.
AND, AND I WANNA SEE THAT THEY DON'T STAY IN, IN, IF THEY KEEP CAUGHT IN, IN THE BATHROOMS DOING THAT, THEN THEY SHOULD BE OUTTA SCHOOL, PUT OUTTA SCHOOL PERIOD.
THAT'S WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING ALSO.
UM, I, I THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE A DISCUSSION ITEM.
I THINK THAT THERE, SOME OF THE DIFFERENT POINTS OF INFORMATION THAT WE WOULD NEED TO KNOW WOULD BE WHAT THE PRESENT POLICIES ARE, UM, IF ANY, ON THE DISCIPLINE MATRIX.
UM, IF THIS COULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD WANTED TO, UM, SUGGEST TO THE CITIZEN COMMITTEE THAT'S REVIEWING FOR THE NEXT REFERENDUM.
CAUSE I SEE THAT AS BEING A, A LARGE TICKET ITEM.
UM, IF WE DID NEED TO PURCHASE SOMETHING FOR THAT.
UM, SO I, I LARGELY SEE IT AS BEING A DISCUSSION ITEM, BUT THERE IS SOME INFORMATION THAT WE COULD NEED FROM THE DISTRICT ON THAT.
AND, UH, I WAS THINKING TOO, MAYBE THE STARTING POINT IS TO REVIEW OUR DISCIPLINE MATRIX AND SEE WHERE THIS FALLS IN TR THANK YOU, KATHY.
THEY'RE SAYING, UM, THAT JUST LIKE MR. CAMPBELL SAID, KIDS ARE NOT ABLE TO GO INTO THE BATHROOMS BECAUSE THERE'S VAPING GOING ON THERE.
AND THAT THERE ARE ALL DIFFERENT KINDS OF SUBSTANCES INSIDE THE, THE VAPE PEN OR WHATEVER YOU CALL IT.
SO, UM, UH, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE A DISCUSSION, LIKE RACHEL JUST SAID, UM, WE DID ALL RECEIVE A VERY LENGTHY EMAIL ABOUT THOSE HALO DEVICES THAT, UM, SUPPOSEDLY DETECT THE VAPING.
UM, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE JUST EVEN A CONVERSATION ABOUT, ABOUT VAPING.
UH, WHAT IS THE DISCIPLINE WHEN A STUDENT IS FOUND, UM, AND, UH, YOU KNOW, JUST A DISCUSSION ON THAT.
SO IS THAT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO ADD UNDER, UM, OTHER MATTERS? YEAH, I THINK THAT'S WHERE I, I WOULD PUT IT.
AND, YOU KNOW, I, I THINK THE BEGINNING POINT IS THAT YOU'VE HEARD, YOU KNOW, WHAT PEOPLE WANT INFORMATION ON BASICALLY IS LET'S START AT THE BEGINNING.
WHAT, WHERE, HOW IS THIS ADDRESSED IN OUR MATRIX? UM, AND, YOU KNOW, IF ANYBODY AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL HAS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF, YEAH, IT'D BE INTERESTING, YOU KNOW, DATA, UM, AND HOW PRINCIPALS, YOU KNOW, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT ARE THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS, UM, SEEN AND HAVE THEY HAVE INDIVIDUAL PRINCIPALS MAYBE COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT'S MORE EFFECTIVE THAT COULD BE SHARED, OR JUST SOME GENERAL INFORMATION TO GET THE TOPIC OUT.
NOW, I, I THINK ULTIMATELY WHEN YOU'RE DEALING WITH THINGS LIKE THIS, YOU KNOW, THIS REMINDS ME OF GOING BACK TO, UH, THE 1980S WITH THE SAY NO TO DRUGS AND CAMPAIGN AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
UH, I MEAN, THIS IS ULTIMATELY NOT, I MEAN, WE CAN, WE CAN'T OUR WAY OUT OF THIS, RIGHT? RIGHT.
SO, SO ULTIMATELY THIS DOES HAVE TO BECOME A COMMUNITY WIDE, UH, UH, EFFORT AND
[00:15:01]
THING WHERE PEOPLE ARE MONITORING ALSO THEIR OWN CHILDREN IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR BACKPACKS AND WHAT THEY'RE, WHAT THEY'RE CARRYING AROUND.YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THE KIND OF THING THAT, THAT I THINK A CHILD CAN EFFECTIVELY, YOU KNOW, HIDE AT HOME, RIGHT? I MEAN, IF YOU'RE, IF IF YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE VAPING, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE, YOU'RE, YOU'RE GONNA GET HOOKED ON THAT AND YOU'RE GONNA VAPE ALL THE TIME.
YOU KNOW? SO I THINK, I THINK, UH, WE, THESE, THESE ITEMS THAT WE TALKED ABOUT HERE, WE CAN CERTAINLY ADDRESS, BUT ULTIMATELY IT'S NOT REALLY A, A, A THING THAT WE CAN PUNISH OUR WAY OUT OF.
YOU KNOW, WE WE'RE GONNA NEED, UH, UH, A COMMUNITY WIDE EFFORT AROUND THIS.
I THINK WE'RE DISCUSSING THE TOPIC A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
UH, UH, WE'RE DOING MORE OF A DE MEETING, BUT, BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING THAT RODRIGUEZ YEAH, NO, YOU'RE RIGHT MR. SMITH ABOUT THAT.
WE DID TALK ABOUT IT EXTENSIVELY, BUT, BUT YEAH.
AND I, I THINK THERE WERE SOME OTHER THINGS.
IF WE GO BACK AND REVISIT THE EMAIL THAT MAYBE COULD BE POINTED OUT AS WELL, AND SOMEBODY, CAN SOMEBODY FORWARD THAT EMAIL TO ME, BE HELPFUL? OKAY.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE INCLUDED ON IT.
SO I'LL, I DON'T KNOW WHO IT CAME FROM, BUT I'LL, I'LL, I'LL TRY TO FIND IT TOO.
UM, YEAH, FRANK, I CAN FORWARD IT TO YOU.
TR TRISHA, YOU WERE AT THAT SIC MEETING, SO MAYBE, UM, RIGHT.
YOU HAVE MORE, OR EVEN RECEIVED MORE.
UM, OH, KATHY, HAVE A QUESTION? YES, GO AHEAD.
SO THE EMAIL THAT I SHARED WITH YOU EARLIER FROM PARENT OR CONSTITUENT, WOULD THAT BE COVERED UNDER THE LIBRARY MEDIA UNDER OTHER MATTERS? YES.
THIS COMES OFF MOSTLY EVERYTHING ELSE IS ON THERE FOR THE WORK SESSION.
UM, AND THE LAST, CAN YOU SHARE IT, ROBERT? OH, WAIT, LET ME GO TO MY, UH, UH, SORRY.
IT'S, YOU CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN? I'M NOT SHARING.
WHAT ARE YOU SEEING? LET STOP SHARING.
LET ME AGAIN, DO YOU SEE IT NOW? YES, YES.
YEAH, I THINK EVERYTHING THAT IS, UH, HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP IS ON THIS LIST TO MY KNOWLEDGE.
AND, UM, THE LAST FUTURE TOPIC, SO THIS WOULD BE COVERED AT OUR NOVEMBER 1ST MEETING, RIGHT? THIS WAS RACHEL'S, SO THIS COVERS UNDER THE LIBRARY, UH, UNDER OTHER MATTERS, CORRECT? MM-HMM.
WHAT DID YOU REQUEST, SIR? SCHOOL START TIMES.
UH, WELL, HOW, HOW DID WE, UH, AUTOMATICALLY PUT THAT AT, PUT THAT AT A WORK SESSION? AND WE HADN'T DISCUSSED IT AT, UH, AT A MEETING WHERE WE WANT THAT AT BECAUSE THE OFFICERS DECIDED WHAT AGENDA IT WAS GOING TO BE ON.
SIR, WE DISCUSSED IT, UM, BACK AT ONE OF OUR OTHER, AT OUR PREVIOUS, UM, AGENDA SETTINGS.
WELL, I, I, I THOUGHT THAT THAT WOULD, THAT THAT WOULD, THE INITIAL MEETING WOULD NEED TO, WOULD, WOULD, WOULD, WOULD BE BETTER.
BETTER, UM, TAKING IT AT THE, AT A RATHER REGULAR MEETING AND THEN, AND THEN, UH, POSSIBLY SENT TO THE WORK SESSION BECAUSE I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE JUST GOING, YOU JUST SENDING THAT SCHOOL START TIMES, I MEAN, I, I NEEDED THAT.
YOU, YOU WOULD NEED MORE INFORMATION SO YOU CAN KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT TO GO INTO THE WORK SESSION.
YOU BROUGHT IT UP, MR. SMITH, IF YOU'D LIKE TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SO WHEN WE TAKE IT TO THE WORK SESSION, WE CAN, UM, HAVE A CLEAR, UH, IDEA OF WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU WANT DISCUSSED.
AND THAT'S WHY, AND THAT'S WHY I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE FOR
[00:20:01]
IT, FOR THE, FOR THE INITIAL STARTING OF THAT CONVERSATION WOULD BE, WOULD BE A MEETING.I, I THINK YOU NEED, YOU BROUGHT UP THE TOPIC.
UM, IT SEEMS PRETTY SUCCINCT TO ME, YOU KNOW, BUT IF THERE'S SOMETHING, UH, IN ADDITION THAT YOU WOULD LIKE, THEN PLEASE, UH, LET THE OFFICERS KNOW AND THEN WE CAN REVISIT THAT.
I THINK THIS ONE DISCUSSION ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF DISTRICT STANDARDS FOR LIBRARY, I THINK THAT'S DIFFERENT.
THAT IS, UM, RACHEL, ARE YOU STILL ON, I THINK YOU KNOW, THIS ONE IS, UM, A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HOW WE GO ABOUT SELECTING MATERIALS AND, AND THAT PROCESS VERSUS, UM, UM, WELL, I HAD SPOKE WITH DR.
STRATOS ABOUT, UM, THAT TOPIC.
UM, AND SO I, I THOUGHT THAT WHEN FRANK SAID LIBRARIAN MEDIA AND SAID THAT IT WOULD DR.
STRATOS, I THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS WHAT WAS GONNA KIND OF BE DISCUSSED AT THE NOVEMBER 1ST MEETING.
SO, FRANK, CAN YOU, ARE YOU PLANNING ON ROLLING IN THAT FIRST PART DISCUSSION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF DISTRICT STR STANDARDS? OOPS, HE'S MUTED.
OH, YOU KNOW WHAT, WE CAN, WE CAN ATTEMPT IT AND IF IT'S NOT FINISHED, WE CAN ADD IT TO A WORK SESSION TOO, CORRECT? YES.
WE'RE, WE'RE, WE'RE GOING TO, UH, UH, WORK AT ADDRESSING THIS AT THE MEETING, AND IF THERE'S MORE THAT NEEDS CONVERSATION, THEN, THEN WE'LL KEEP MOVING, BUT WE'LL, WE'LL HAVE A, WE CAN ADD IT TO THE WORK SESSION.
SO I THINK, BUT THAT IS, THAT WAS THE INTENT AS PART OF THIS.
SO I THINK THAT OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING WILL, UM, TACKLE THE SECOND NOVEMBER MEETING AS WELL AS THE WORK SESSION.
SO ANYBODY HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR THIS AGENDA SETTING BEFORE WE, UM, BEFORE WE HAVE ANYTHING ELSE, KATHY? OKAY.
ANY HANDS UP? I DON'T SEE ANY.
IT LOOKS LIKE WE HAVE OUR AGENDA.
WE'LL BE STARTING AT, UM, 5:00 PM IT WILL BE AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE, CORRECT? CORRECT.
AND OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING, OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING SHOULD BE, HOLD ON A SECOND.
OUR NEXT AGENDA SETTING MEETING IS NOVEMBER 7TH AT FIVE O'CLOCK.
I BELIEVE THIS MEETING IS ADJOURNED.
