CALLING THIS THING TO ORDER.

THIS IS THE DECEMBER 8TH, SEPTEMBER 6TH OPERATIONS COMMITTEE MEETING, UH, MYSELF, MEL CAMPBELL, PATRICIA FEDRICK, UH, DR.

BRER AND WENDY CARTLEDGE AS WELL, RIGHT? YES.

OKAY.

CANDY CHANNELS INVOLVED.

SO, UH, IF YOU GUYS WILL RISE WITH ME TO SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND TO THEIR PUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.

OKAY.

UH, ANY, LET'S SEE.

WE NEED TO APPROVE THE AGENDA.

SOMEONE COULD FIND MEL CAMPBELL.

OKAY.

MISS FIT MOVED.

I MOVE THAT WE APPROVE TODAY'S AGENDA.

MR. CAMPBELL, YOU A SECOND BACK? I'LL SECOND.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

UNANIMOUS.

DO WE HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS? NO, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT.

SO LET'S JUST GET STARTED AND WE'LL GO IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.

OE ONE.

ALL RIGHT.

SO, CAN YOU GUYS HEAR ME OKAY? YEP.

OKAY, PERFECT.

SO, OE ONE IS GLOBAL OPERATIONAL EXPECTATION, UM, AND IT IS THE, UH, TO TAKE REASONABLE MEASURES TO PROTECT THE BUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT'S PUBLIC IMAGE.

UM, AND SO I'LL GIVE YOU A QUICK SUMMARY HERE.

I THINK ONE OF THE, UM, MAIN THINGS THAT WE DID THIS YEAR THAT HAS HELPED THIS IS WE LAUNCHED 30 NEW SCHOOL WEBSITES AND THE NEW DISTRICT WEBSITE, WHICH, UM, DRASTICALLY INCREASED OUR ONLINE PRESENCE.

UM, WE ALSO, WE'VE CONTINUED TO PARTICIPATE IN NUMEROUS MEDIA INTERVIEWS.

WE DO THAT MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK.

UM, WE TRY VERY HARD TO BE TRANSPARENT, AND IT'S VERY RARE THAT WE WILL TURN DOWN A NEWS INTERVIEW.

UM, ON THAT SAME NOTE, WE DISTRIBUTE OUR NEWS RELEASES AND OUR MEDIA ADVISORIES.

UM, DR.

RODRIGUEZ HAS HAD NUMEROUS SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS FROM A WIDE VARIETY OF GROUPS AND ORGANIZATIONS.

UM, HE FREQUENTLY ENGAGES WITH MAYORS, COUNTY COUNCIL MEMBERS, UM, TOWN COUNCIL MEMBERS, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND EMERGENCY FOLKS.

UM, WE ALSO THIS YEAR, HAVE ENGAGED A LOT WITH OUR COMMUNITY AND OUR ECO ECUMENICAL PARTNERS, ESPECIALLY WITH OUR EXTENDED LEARNING PROGRAMMING.

UM, STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL MEETINGS WERE HELD AT EACH HIGH SCHOOL IN THE SPRING AND FALL.

WE MET WITH PARENT ADVISORY GROUPS AND TEACHER REPRESENTATIVES.

WE MAINTAINED CONSISTENT COMMUNICATION THROUGH ROBOCALL AND EMAILS TO DISTRICT FAMILIES AND EMPLOYEES.

UM, AND WE HAVE, UH, THE CLOCK, OBVIOUSLY, WHICH IS, UM, I THINK THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PIECE THIS YEAR FOR OUR PUBLIC IMAGE.

UM, THEY OBVIOUSLY REPORTED THEIR OWN MEETINGS AND AT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS, AND THEY HAVE A VERY HEFTY SECTION ON OUR WEBSITE.

UM, AND THEN WE, AS WE ALWAYS DO, UM, PROMOTE OUR DISTRICT WIDE INITIATIVES ON, ON OUR WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE, MISS FID? UM, NOT A QUESTION AS MUCH AS A COMMENT.

UM, DR.

BROODER, I THINK THAT THIS, UH, LAUNCH OF THE NEW WEBSITE, UM, HAS, HAS REALLY, I AGREE, DONE AN AWFUL LOT TO CAPTURE WHAT IS GOING ON IN OUR SCHOOLS AND THE DISTRICT, THE FACEBOOK PAGE, THE, THE, THE VIDEOS OF OUR LOCAL SCHOOLS AND ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THERE.

UM, AND, UM, IT, IT, IT DOES APPEAR TO ME AT LEAST, THAT YOU ARE VERY OPEN TO, AND AS IS DR.

RODRIGUEZ, UM, SPEAKING TO THE, THE LOCAL MEDIA AND TRYING TO, UH, GET THE, THE CORRECT INFORMATION OUT THERE.

SO I ABSOLUTELY WOULD, UM, MOVE TO ACCEPT OPERATIONAL EXPECTATION ONE, GLOBAL OPERATIONAL EXPECTATION.

MR. CAMPBELL, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO SECOND THAT MOTION? WAS THAT A SECOND? YES.

ALL RIGHT.

UM, AND I'D LIKE TO MAKE A BLANKET STATEMENT, UH, MISS, UH, FED, IF IT'S OKAY, CAN WE PUT ALL OF OUR ES THAT WERE COMING OUT OF OPERATIONS COMMITTEE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA? OH, ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK ESPECIALLY, YEAH, THIS, THIS ONE'S GOOD FOR THAT, AS ARE THE OTHER ONES THAT I'VE ALREADY PREVIEWED.

SURE.

OKAY.

PERFECT.

ALL RIGHT.

SO MOTION SECONDED.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE, MEL.

I SAID I ALREADY DID.

YOU.

OKAY,

[00:05:03]

SO THAT'S UNANIMOUS.

AND, UH, GONNA QUICKLY MOVE ON TO OE NUMBER TWO.

GIVE ME A SECOND.

ALL RIGHT.

I'M CAUGHT UP.

OKAY.

SO OE NUMBER TWO, DR.

BRER, DO YOU WANNA GIVE US JUST A LITTLE SUMMARY? THIS ONE, I BELIEVE, UM, WALTON IS PRESENTING AND SHE IS ON HER WAY BACK TO HER OFFICE TO LOG IN, SO SHE NEEDS A FEW MINUTES.

OKAY.

WELL, WE CAN, UM, DO YOU WANNA GO TO THREE? YEAH, WHY DON'T WE, UM, JUST TABLE THIS FOR A MOMENT AND GO ON TO OE THREE.

PERFECT.

GET A MOTION.

SO, YEAH.

SO YEAH, OE THREE, THE TREATMENT OF STAKEHOLDERS.

UM, THIS IS THE SUPERINTENDENT SHALL MAINTAIN AN ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE THAT TREATS ALL PEOPLE, INCLUDING PARENT, CITIZENS AND STAFF WITH RESPECT, DIGNITY, AND COURTESY.

UM, THE FIRST THING IS THAT WE DO MANAGE INFORMATION AND WAYS THAT CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROTECTED.

UM, AND MS. WALTON IS ALSO ABLE TO SPEAK TO THIS, BUT WE HAVE PURPA AND ETHICS TRAINING COMPLETED BY ALL EMPLOYEES.

UM, DISTRICT EMPLOYEES SIGN THEIR ANNUAL CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT.

UM, TECHNOLOGY HAS AUTOMATED FILTERS THAT PROTECT DATA.

UM, OUR FO REQUESTS ARE REVIEWED TO MAKE SURE NO, UM, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS SHARED.

EVEN WHEN WE POST TO THE WEBSITE, WE TAKE OUR REQUESTERS PERSONAL EMAILS OUT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

UM, AND WHEN RESPONDING TO MEDIA REQUESTS, WE ACTUALLY DO GET A LOT OF MEDIA REQUESTS WANTING INFORMATION ABOUT EMPLOYEE MATTERS OR, UM, STUDENT DISCIPLINARY MATTERS.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS DECLINE TO COMMENT ON THOSE THINGS TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY.

UM, IN TERMS OF HANDLING COMPLAINTS, COMPLAINTS, UM, OR CONCERNS THAT WE RECEIVE VIA, SOMETIMES WE GET THEM VIA SOCIAL MEDIA.

WE MIGHT GET TELEPHONE.

UM, THE REPORTED CONCERN FORM ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE IS UTILIZED FREQUENTLY, AND THAT IS ROUTED TO THE DISTRICT STAFF MEMBER OR SCHOOL PRINCIPAL BEST SUITED TO RESPOND.

IF A COMPLAINT IS NOT RESOLVED AT THIS LEVEL, UM, IT GETS DIRECTED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OR THE SUPERINTENDENT'S DESIGNEE.

LET'S SEE HERE.

IN TERMS OF, UM, HAVING A CULTURE THAT VALUES INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES OF OPINION AND INCLUDES ALL PEOPLE AND DECISIONS, UM, AND HAS OPEN AND HONEST COMMUNICATION WITH WRITTEN AND INTERPERSONAL INTERACTION, UM, IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE BOARD'S RESULTS, POLICIES, UM, IN MAINTAINING AN OPEN, RESPONSIVE AND WELCOMING ENVIRONMENT, UM, ONE THING WE ADDED THIS YEAR WAS THE NEW PLATFORM VCS D ENGAGED, UM, WHICH IS A VERY GOOD PORTAL FOR PARENTS AND STAFF TO BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN, UM, KIND OF EXPRESSING THEIR OPINIONS ABOUT INITIATIVES AND THOUGHTS.

UM, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE STUDENT ADVISORY COUNCIL, UM, PARENT ADVISORY GROUPS, TEACHER REPRESENTATIVE GROUPS, AND COMMUNITY GROUPS.

UM, AND WE WORK REALLY HARD TO, YOU KNOW, KEEP OUR INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL, UM, KEY STAKEHOLDERS INFORMED, UH, VIA THE WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA, NEWS RELEASES, MESSAGING, OF COURSE, OUR ROBOCALL AND OUR, UH, YOUTUBE VIDEOS.

ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? UM, I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

OH, SORRY.

MS FI, JUST GO AHEAD.

OH, UM, I JUST WANTED TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT B C S D.

YEAH.

BCS NO BS C D, YOU'VE HEARD V CS D, UM, ENGAGED.

HOW DO PEOPLE, SO HOW DO PEOPLE GET TO THAT WEBSITE? IT IS, IF YOU GO TO OUR MAIN WEBSITE, YEAH.

NOW I'LL, THIS, WHEN WE POST SOMETHING TO THAT, WE WILL TYPICALLY PUT OUT A MESSAGE TO PARENTS, RIGHT? MEMBERS, OR NOT COMMUNITY MEMBERS, I'M SORRY, EMPLOYEES, AND SEND THE LINK AND SAY, HEY, WE HAVE THIS NEW PROJECT UP, UP HERE.

WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.

SO, BUT YEAH, IF YOU LIKE, YOU'RE ON THE, UM, IF YOU GO TO THE HOME PAGE OF THE WEBSITE, IT IS THEN CAN YOU SEE IT? I HAVE IT UP ON THE SCREEN.

YEAH.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GET TO IT FROM THE MAIN WEBSITE.

SO YOU GO ON COMMUNITY ON THE MAIN WEBSITE MM-HMM.

, AND IT'S IN THE DROPDOWN MENU THERE, AND IT'S ENGAGED WITH BC S D.

OKAY.

LET ME GO HERE.

DO WE HAVE ANY DATA ABOUT HOW MANY, UH, CLICKS AND SITE VISITS AND ENGAGEMENTS WE'RE GETTING OFF OF THIS ONE? WE DO.

I DON'T HAVE IT HANDY, BUT WE DO.

OKAY.

YEAH.

AND I CAN GET THAT FOR YOU.

YEAH, I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT GO THERE.

AND THEN YOU SAID GODA COMMUNITY? YEAH.

AND THEN IT'S ENGAGE WITH BCSD, RIGHT?

[00:10:01]

IT'S LIKE NUMBER FOUR ON THE LEFT, I THINK, RIGHT HERE.

CAN YOU SEE IT? INGRID? MM-HMM.

.

YEAH.

OKAY.

YEAH, I FOUND IT.

UM, I JUST, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I THINK THIS IS A REALLY COOL THING, AND SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET TWO OR THREE, YOU KNOW, MENUS DEEP, IT CAN BE HARD TO FIND.

AND IF PEOPLE DON'T ALREADY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR, SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE KIND OF THE USAGE AND THE CLICKS AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT, UM, YOU KNOW, IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COMMUNITY I CAN MAKE PEOPLE MORE AWARE OF.

SURE, SURE.

YOU HAVE THAT DATA.

I'D LOVE TO SEE IT.

YEAH, SURE.

I CAN TOTALLY GET THAT FOR YOU.

AWESOME.

THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

MISS FIDT, YOU HAD A QUESTION AS WELL? I DID.

UM, ROBIN, COULD YOU GO BACK TO, UM, THAT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WHEN YOU GET A SECOND, PLEASE.

UM, AND DR.

BRUTER, MY QUESTION WAS, UH, ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS.

AND THE COMPLAINTS ARE IF, IF SOMEONE SENDS ONE, IT'S ROUTED TO, UM, EITHER YOU KNOW, THE APPROPRIATE PERSON AND SO ON.

UH, UM, AND IF IT'S NOT RESOLVED, THANKS, ROBIN.

YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

NUMBER TWO, UM, COMPLAINTS OR CONCERNS ARE RECEIVED ROUTED TO THE APPROPRIATE MEMBER IF IT'S NOT RESOLVED, DIRECTED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OR DESIGNEE.

HOW, HOW DO WE, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT, THAT THERE ALWAYS IS FOLLOW UP? I MEAN, IS THERE, IS THERE A CHECKLIST ON THERE THAT SAYS, YOU KNOW, RESOLVED OR, OR, OR THE CONCERN HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY SO AND SO? HOW DO WE CLOSE THAT LOOP? I WILL SAY THAT, UM, 95% OF THESE, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL IS COPIED ON ON THEM.

SO IF WE GET A, GET A COMPLAINT, IT GOES TO LIKE, IF, IF IT'S APPROPRIATE FOR IT TO GO TO THE PRINCIPAL, IT WILL GO TO THE PRINCIPAL.

BUT THE ED IS COPIED ON THERE AS WELL.

AND THEN WE TYPICALLY WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE EDS.

HAVING THE EDS HAS BEEN SUCH A GREAT THING FOR THE DISTRICT, AND IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN VERY, VERY HELPFUL.

UM, SOMETIMES THE EDS WILL TALK WITH THE PRINCIPAL OR, AND OR THE TEACHER INVOLVED, AND THEN THE EDS WILL MAKE THE PHONE CALL TO THE PARENT.

SO THE EDS HAVE BEEN VERY GOOD AT STAYING ON TOP OF ALL THAT AND WE'LL FOLLOW UP WITH THEM, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY IF THERE'S SOMETHING EXTRA SENSITIVE THAT COMES THROUGH.

OKAY.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW.

CAUSE I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW, YOU KNOW, MANY EMAILS OR PRINCIPALS GET A DAY.

UM, BUT HAVING THAT ADDITIONAL LAYER, SO THANK YOU.

YEAH.

NO, THANK YOU.

MR. CAMPBELL, DID YOU HAVE SOMETHING? I CAN ONLY SEE LIKE THE TOP THIRD OF YOUR HEAD, PART OF YOUR SHOULDER.

YOU'RE GOOD? OKAY.

WE LOST? YEAH, SORRY.

UM, WE NEED A MOTION FOR, TO, UM, ACCEPT OPERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS.

OHE THREE STILL MOVED.

THANK YOU, MR. CAMPBELL.

SECOND? SECOND.

AM I MISS FRICK? ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

UM, I THINK MEL SAID AYE.

YES, THAT'S THREE, UH, UNANIMOUS.

DO WE WANNA GO BACK TO OE TWO OR, UM, IS MS. WALTON ON NOW? YES.

OKAY, PERFECT.

I AM, I'M MS. WALTON.

TRISHA.

HELLO EVERYONE.

I'M, UM, APOLOGIZE FOR MY LATENESS, BUT I HAD, UH, EMERGENCY HR ISSUE AND GOT THOSE, UM, THIS AFTERNOON THE SUPERINTENDENT IS BRINGING FORTH O E TWO AND THIS IS JUST HIS PLAN FOR SUCCESSION.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HE'S NOT IN THE BUILDING, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE? AND I THINK HE, UM, WE HAVE ALL THE KEY COMPONENTS OF THIS AS WELL AS, UH, WE HAVE PROVIDED AN ORG CHART FOR YOU SO THAT YOU CAN LOOK AT WHO FALLS WHERE, WHEN EITHER ONE OF THE EXECUTIVE LEADERS OUT OF THE BUILDING.

SO IT LOOKS AT HIM AS THE SUPERINTENDENT, IT LOOKS AT THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT, AND THEN IT LOOKS LIKE, LOOKS AT ALL OF HIS SENIOR STAFF.

SO THERE'S SOMEONE TO COVER WHEN EITHER ONE OF THOSE MEMBERS ARE NOT IN THE BUILDING.

OKAY.

QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? YEAH.

IS THAT SOMEONE GONNA DO OF THAT? I'M SORRY, MR. CAMPBELL? I, I DIDN'T HEAR YOU CLEARLY.

SOMEONE YOU SAID THAT HE'S GOT, WHERE SOMEONE IS GOING TO COVER TO HIS RESPONSIBILITIES IS THE, THE, THE, THE CHART THERE AND NEGATIVE OF HOW THAT COVERAGE IS GOING TO BE.

IF, FOR EXAMPLE, THE SUPERINTENDENT IS NOT THERE, THERE'S NO DEPUTY, THEN YOU WOULD BE JUDGED.

THAT IS, THAT'S

[00:15:01]

TANYA OR, OR DALE? NO, IT JUST WOULD BE ME.

IT WOULD STOP AT ME.

UM, DALE COVERS FOR ME AS THE HR OFFICER.

SO WHAT YOU HAVE IS YOUR SENIOR STAFF, AND I'LL USE MYSELF AS THE EXAMPLE AS HR.

AND THEN MY, UM, DROPDOWN PERSON IS DALE CRAWFORD.

AND SAME WITH TANYA.

HER DROPDOWN PERSON IS REGGIE MURPHY.

SO THOSE, YOUR SENIOR STAFF ACROSS THE BOARD, THE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT ONLY DROPS DOWN TO ME.

I UNDERSTAND.

I DUNNO WHO DROPS DOWN FROM YOU? IF, IF YOU CAN'T COVER WHO'S NEXT AFTER YOU? I GUESS IF YOU WANT GO A DOWN, IT WOULD, UM, GO TO TANYA.

OKAY.

IT WOULD GO ACROSS THE SENIOR STAFF THAT, THAT'S, I WANTED, THANK YOU, MS. FIT.

DID YOU HAVE A QUESTION? UM, WAS THERE NOT A PAGE TWO TO THIS ALSO A NARRATIVE? AND I, WAS THERE ANOTHER SECTION TO THIS? THERE WAS A NARRATIVE THAT I SAW.

YOU SHOULD HAVE AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY IN FRONT OF YOU.

YEAH.

OKAY.

UM, SO THE ONLY QUESTION I HAD IS THAT WHEN WE GO BACK TO OE TWO, ALICE, IT DOES GO DOWN TO NON-EMERGENCY PLANNING.

AND OE 2.2 SAYS THE SUPERINTENDENT SHALL MAINTAIN A SUCCESSION PLAN FOR ALL KEY POSITIONS, WHICH YOU SHOWED RIGHT THERE.

UM, THE ONLY THING I DON'T SEE IN THERE THAT IS IN THE OE IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ELEMENTARY AND OF SECONDARY.

UM, SO WHERE DO THEY FALL ON THAT ORG CHART? WELL, WE LOOK AT THOSE, UH, POSITIONS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE, UM, IF THOSE PEOPLE ARE OUT OR THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT HERE, THE SCHOOLS MAINTAIN AND FUNCTION WITH THEM ANSWERING TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AS THE, THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE DISTRICT.

AND IF THEY'RE GONNA BE GONE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN WE ADVERTISE FOR THOSE POSITIONS AND REPLACE THOSE PEOPLE.

OKAY.

SO, UM, I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE OE 2.2, UM, MISS BOAT, RIGHT? I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S EVEN A NEED TO HAVE IN THERE, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY.

I WOULD YOU, UH, RECOMMEND MAYBE POLICY TAKING A LOOK AT THIS ONE AND REFINING IT A LITTLE BIT? WELL, I, I THINK THAT THE SPIRIT OF THIS IS EXACTLY AS MS. WALTON ANSWERED AND PRESENTED THE SPIRIT OF A SUCCESSION PLAN.

AND I THINK OE 2.2 KIND OF MUDDIES THE WATER A LITTLE BIT.

LIKE WHAT IS IT REALLY LOOKING FOR? SO, UM, AGAIN, I MEAN, WE'RE KIND OF MAKING A LIST HERE OF THINGS THAT POLICIES SHOULD LOOK AT, BECAUSE I MEAN, THIS IS REALLY THE, THE FIRST, YOU KNOW, POST COVID WHERE THAT WE'RE DOING A LOT OF THESE ES IN DEPTH AND, UM, SO YEAH, I, I DO THINK THAT MAYBE IT WOULD BE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR POLICY TO LOOK AT OE 2.2.

OKAY.

UM, WOULD YOU STILL BE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE CURRENT MONITORING REPORT AS STATED WITH A FOLLOW UP IN POLICY? ABSOLUTELY.

YES.

I'M, CAUSE I THINK THE SPIRIT OF IT WAS ABSOLUTELY PRESENTED AND WE KNOW EXACTLY THE SUPERINTENDENT SUCCESSION PLAN.

RIGHT.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT TOO.

MEL, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS, RYAN? GOOD.

OKAY.

SO, UM, WE'LL I DON'T THINK WE NEED A MOTION TO SEND IT TO POLICY COMMITTEE.

I'LL JUST, WE'LL MAKE A NOTE OF IT AND I'LL MENTION THE REPORT, BUT WE STILL NEED A MOTION TO ACCEPT OE TWO OH.

EXCEPT WE TWO JUST, OKAY.

MR. CAMPBELL.

SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

NOW, NEXT ON THE LIST, I'M GONNA GIVE ROBIN A CHANCE TO CATCH UP.

WE HAVE OE 10 AND I HAD A LITTLE BIT OF, I SENT OUT AN EMAIL.

OE 10 IS AN ODD OE.

UM, IT HAS A LOT OF BITS AND PIECES AND TO ME, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF IN HERE THAT DOESN'T NECESSARILY, IN MY OPINION, FALL UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE COMMUNICATION, UH, DEPARTMENT.

UM, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY DESIGNED OE 10 COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD.

SO IT ABSOLUTELY MAKES SENSE THAT, UM, DR.

BIRDER WOULD BE, UH, SPEARHEADING THIS OE MONITORING REPORT.

BUT I HAD SOME IDEAS AND I THOUGHT WE COULD DO IS GO THROUGH WHAT WE HAVE HERE.

UM, WE'RE NOT, IT'S, IT DOESN'T COVER EVERYTHING IN THAT OE THERE'S SOME OTHER ODDS AND ENDS THAT I DON'T REALLY THINK THE COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT HAS A WHOLE LOT TO DO WITH.

SO WHAT I THINK, IF YOU GUYS WANT, WELL, LET'S GO THROUGH THE OE 10 AND IF IT'S AMENABLE, I THINK TREATING IT SIMILAR TO OE TWO AND SAYING, OKAY, LET'S ACCEPT THE COMMUNICATION PART

[00:20:01]

OF THIS AND THE SPIRIT OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE BOARD AND THEN ASK THAT POLICY COMMITTEE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

CUZ THERE'S SOME STUFF IN HERE THAT I THINK NEEDS TO BE EITHER REROUTED OR ADDRESSED A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY.

SO, UM, IF THE, WE CAN KIND OF SEE HOW, UH, YOU GUYS FEEL AFTER CANDACE PRESENTS.

BUT THAT'S JUST KIND OF MY, UM, THOUGHTS ON OE 10.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OBJECTION? NO, I THINK IT'S A GOOD PLAN.

OKAY.

SO, UM, DR.

BRER PRESENT WHAT YOU'VE GOT ON OE 10, AND THEN WE'LL, UH, WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

SURE.

THANK YOU.

SO YEAH, THIS IS, UM, OBVIOUSLY COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD.

UM, AND YOU'RE CORRECT, THERE ARE A LOT OF LITTLE PIECES HERE THAT EVERYBODY CONTRIBUTES TO, UM, TO MAKE SURE THAT THE BOARD IS FULLY AND ACCURATELY INFORMED ABOUT MATTERS RELATING TO BOARD WORK AND SIGNIFICANT ORGANIZATIONAL CONCERN.

SO THE FIRST THING ON HERE IS, UM, YOU KNOW, YOU GUYS GET THE, MY DAILY EMAIL UPDATES, UM, THAT ARE USUALLY ABOUT SIGNIFICANT MEDIA INTERVIEWS AND PUBLICITY, UM, INCIDENTS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS AND ATHLETIC FACIL ATHLETIC FACILITIES ARE ON OUR BUSES.

UM, THAT INCLUDES STUDENT OR STAFF ARRESTS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS AS PART OF A SCHOOL RELATED INCIDENT.

THERE'S ALSO, UM, DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE DISTRICT THAT REPORT TO ON BUDGET TRANSFERS GREATER THAN $50,000.

UM, ANY SORT OF, UM, ANTICIPATED OR ACTUAL NON-COMPLIANCE WITH BOARD OPERATIONAL EXPECTATIONS POLICY OR ANY ANTICIPATED ROADBLOCKS TOWARDS REASONABLE PROGRESS ON A RESULTS POLICY.

UM, ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS AND DECISIONS THAT ARE DELEGATED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMMING, ATTENDANCE, BOUNDARIES, AND DISTRICT-WIDE INITIATIVES THAT IMPACT STUDENTS, EDUCATORS, EMPLOYEES, PARENTS AND OR COMMUNITY PARTNERS.

UM, INDIVIDUAL BOARD MEMBERS WHO MAY HAVE INTRUDED INTO AREAS ASSIGNED TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OR WHO ARE NOT COMPLIANT WITH BOARD COMMITMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITY OR ACCOUNTABILITY AND MONITORING POLICIES.

UH, ANY, ANY EMPLOYEES ARRESTED OR SUSPENDED FROM THEIR DUTIES TO INCLUDE THE CHARGES.

INDIVIDUALS CONSIDERED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE OR GENERAL CONTRACTING POSITIONS WHO ARE IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM OR PRINCIPALS, ANY INDIVIDUALS EMPLOYED WITH A MAJOR CONTRACTED SERVICE OR CONSTRUCTION VENDOR WHO WERE IMMEDIATE FAMILY MEMBERS OF THE SUPERINTENDENT, EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TEAM, PRINCIPALS, FACILITY PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OFFICER, OR PROCUREMENT OR CONSTRUCTING PERSONNEL.

UM, AND FINALLY, ANY PROPOSED REVISIONS TO ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS, UM, WERE PRESENTED TO THE RESPECTIVE BOARD COMMITTEES, UM, FOR REVIEW AND DISCUSSION.

YEAH, THAT'S A, THAT'S A, THAT'S A BIG BITE THAT OE.

UM, AND I THINK THAT IN THIS, THE, THE MISSION CRITICAL PART OF THAT OE THAT, UH, I THINK WE'VE, THE DISTRICT'S DONE A GREAT JOB OF, THERE WASN'T A TON OF SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, BUT I THINK WE ALL KIND OF KNOW SOME OF IT'S DIFFICULT TO COME UP WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ON IT.

UM, BUT I DO THINK THAT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE POLICY LOOK LIKE OE 11 REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CHANGES IN ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES.

UM, OE SIX, PRESENTING INFORMATION IN SIMPLE AND CONCISE.

THERE'S A FEW IN HERE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT AS A CAVEAT HA ASK POLICY COMMITTEE IN JANUARY TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

UM, BECAUSE I, I THINK SOME OF THIS STUFF IN HERE IS A DIFFICULT TO REPORT ON AND B, VERY MUCH NOT IN THE PURVIEW OF THE COMMUNICATION DIRECTOR, BUT I THINK TO THE SPIRIT OF WHAT THIS OE 10 DOES, THE MISSION CRITICAL STUFF, I THINK WE'RE IN GOOD SHAPE.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE? WELL, MY QUESTION WOULD BE YOUR CONCERNS.

CAUSE AS YOUR CONCERN, WHO IS DIRECTING THE NARRATIVE FROM SUPERINTENDENT'S RODRIGUEZ, UH, PROVE YOU ALL YOUR CONCERNED? WHAT IAN'S DOING? HOW HE INTERPRETS? YOU HEAR ME? YEAH, ARE YOU TALKING TO, I CAN'T TELL CUZ IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE TURNING AND TALKING TO DR.

BRER.

IS THAT CORRECT, MEL, OR WERE YOU TALKING TO ME? I'M TALKING TO YOU.

OKAY.

WELL TURN.

SO I THOUGHT YOU WERE TALKING TO, SORRY.

SO YOU'RE ASKING IF I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE SUPERINTENDENT'S INTERPRETATION? YES.

NO, I, HOW HE INTERPRETS IT? YEAH.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT WE DID WITH THIS ONE LAST YEAR.

IF THIS WAS PART OF THE COMMUNICATION REPORT OUT, DOES ANY TRISHA, YOU HAVE A MUCH BETTER MEMORY THAN ME.

OKAY.

[00:25:01]

UM, SO WHEN I DUG INTO THIS OE OVER THE WEEKEND, I REALIZE THAT THERE ARE THINGS THAT REALLY ARE NOT, UM, PART, I SHOULD NOT BE PART OF COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD.

THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY, SOME OF MIGHT ACTUALLY BE BETTER SERVED UNDER, UM, GCS, YOU KNOW, UH, GOV, WHATEVER THEY CALL THAT, THE GOVERNING COMMITMENT.

WHAT'S THE C STAND FOR? GOVERNING CULTURE.

RIGHT? GOVERNING CULTURE.

UM, BECAUSE IT'S REALLY MORE ABOUT HOW THE BOARD AND THE SUPERINTENDENT INTERACT, WHICH IS A LOT OF WHAT THE GCS ARE FOR.

SO, BUT I DO THINK THAT WHEN YOU SAY POLICY OE 10 COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD, I THINK WHAT THAT OE IS TRYING TO GET TO IS HOW DO WE, HOW DOES THE SUPERINTENDENT KEEP THE BOARD INFORMED OF THESE SPECIFIC AREAS? AND I DO FEEL LIKE THERE'S A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION OF WHEN THAT'S BEEN DONE.

I MEAN, WE'VE ALL GOTTEN CALLS ON WEEKENDS, ON EVENINGS, YOU KNOW, DAILY EMAILS UPDATING US ON THINGS THAT ARE IMPACTFUL, UM, TO OUR COMMUNITIES.

SO I FEEL PRETTY COMFORTABLE THAT THE OE 10 IN, IT'S WHAT I THINK IT WAS INTENDED TO BE, UM, IS WELL SERVED.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I THINK SOME THINGS HAVE GOTTEN STUCK IN HERE SORT OF AS A CATCH ALL BECAUSE IT EITHER INVOLVED THE BOARD OR INVOLVED COMMUNICATION, SOME METHOD OF COMMUNICATION.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO PULL THOSE OUT AND HAVE THOSE ADDRESSED A LITTLE BIT SEPARATELY.

BUT I DON'T, I HESITATE TO HOLD UP BECAUSE THE OTHER OPTION WOULD BE TO LIKE, HAVE THE OE TOTALLY REWORKED, BRING IT BACK IN A COUPLE MONTHS.

I FEEL LIKE THEY'VE MET OE 10 COMMUNICATE WITH THE BOARD.

SO I JUST KIND OF WANTED TO PUT A CAVEAT ON THAT AND JUST SAY, LET'S HAVE POLICY COMMITTEE LOOK AT IT.

AND THERE'S SOME THINGS IN HERE, LIKE I SAID, YOU KNOW, JUST DON'T SEEM TO REALLY BELONG IN THIS OE.

SO I DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS THAT ABOUT THE JOB THE DISTRICT IS DOING, COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD.

YOU JUST HAVE CONCERNS, BUT PURPOSE AS COMMUNICATION.

WELL, FOR FLAT OUT, WE DO NOT ANNUALLY REVIEW AND RECOMMEND CHANGES IN ATTENDANCE BOUNDARIES.

I MEAN THAT SHOULD, BUT THAT'S NOT A COMMUNICATION THING THAT'S EITHER OPERATIONS OR ACADEMICS OR, YOU KNOW, SOMETHING ELSE.

I'M TALKING 10 PARTICULARLY, RIGHT? 10 10 TALKING.

YEAH.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM.

I MEAN, DOES HE COMMUNICATE THAT WITH THE BOARD? YOU KNOW, I DON'T CARE WHAT THE SPECIFICS.

WELL, I MEAN, LET ME, LET ME ASK.

I HAVE MY OPINION.

DR.

BR DO YOU WANNA ANSWER THAT, UM, SPECIFICALLY AND THEN MAYBE, UM, YOU MEAN IF YOU'RE ASKING IF DR.

RODRIGUEZ UM, UPDATES YOU ON THE INSTRUCTIONAL CHANGES? NO, I'M ASKING IF YOUR INTERPRETATION OF HIS INTERPRETATION COORDINATED.

YOU AGREE THAT THAT'S WHERE THIS SHOULD BE IN TERMS OF HOW HE INTERPRET, HOW HE INTERPRETATE COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD, PART OF COMMUNICATING WITH THE BOARD AS FAR AS HE INTERPRET WHAT WE THE BOARD MEANT WHEN WE SAID INTERPRETATION.

MR. CAMPBELL, EARL CAMPBELL HAS HIS HAND UP.

SO DO YOU WANNA WEIGH IN MR. MR. EARL CAMPBELL? ASK THE QUESTION.

YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU HAVE SOME STUFF IN, IN THE, THAT YOU DON'T AGREE WITH.

OH, WHO WOULD, WOULD IF YOU TAKE IT OUT, YOU WOULD HAVE A CLEAR ANOTHER, UH, OE NO, I, I MEAN PERSONALLY I JUST THINK THERE'S SOME THINGS IN HERE THAT PROBABLY BELONG EITHER IN A DIFFERENT OE SOMEHOW.

OKAY.

THANK ANCHOR.

BUT THEN I NEED TO KNOW SPECIFICALLY THAT I WON'T BE AROUND.

SO IT'S GOING MATTER.

YOU YOU'LL ADDRESS THAT.

I WAS GOING KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING.

IF YOU DON'T THINK IT BELONGS THERE, THAT'S BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY HE, THAT IT BELONGS HERE.

OKAY.

MS. FIT.

SO WHAT I WAS REVIEWING THIS, I THOUGHT THAT, UM, SOMEWHAT ALONG THE SAME LINES, BUT MOSTLY REGARDING 10.3, 10 POINT 10 AND 10 POINT 11 AND YOU KNOW, FOR CANDACE, FOR DR.

BRUER TO SPEAK FOR, FOR THE, YOU KNOW, ANNUAL MONITORING REPORT TO THREE ABOUT FUNCTIONS, UH, WHEN SUCH THERE'S AN INDIVIDUAL TRANSFER EXCEEDING $50,000.

THAT IS SO SPECIFIC THAT I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BELONG BETTER IN FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION.

OKAY.

SO THAT WOULD BE OE SIX.

I WAS THINKING THAT, UH, OE 10 POINT 10 ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS, YOU KNOW, WOULD, WOULD BETTER FIT UNDER AN INSTRUCTIONAL, UM, I DIDN'T, I DIDN'T LOOK RIGHT NOW TO SEE

[00:30:01]

EXACTLY WHICH ONE THAT WAS.

BUT FOR THE POLICY COMMITTEE TO LOOK AND SEE THAT THOSE THAT ARE SO SPECIFIC TO OTHER AREAS LIKE ATTENDANCE TO OPERATIONS FOR THE POLICY COMMITTEE TO SAY, OKAY, WOULD THIS REPORTING OUT THAT THIS OPERATIONAL EXPECTATION HAS BEEN MET BE BETTER REPORTED BY THE OTHER DEPARTMENTS.

AND SO THOSE WOULD BE THE THREE THAT I THINK WOULD BE MOST LIKELY TO BE LOOKED AT.

THREE, 10 AND 11.

I THINK IT'S WORTH, I THINK IT'S WORTH IT.

INSTEAD OF EXPECTING DR.

BRER FOR COMMUNICATIONS TO SAY YES, EVERY INDIVIDUAL TRANSFER EXCEEDING $50,000 WAS MET WHEN I THINK THAT PROBABLY MS. CROSBY COULD SPEAK TO THAT BETTER IN, IN THAT OE THAT'S TRUE.

I DON'T, THAT'S NOT, I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE INTENT THOUGH.

THAT'S TRUE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.

BUT THE INTENT IS THAT WE ARE INTERPRETING THAT HE DOES COMMUNICATE THESE THINGS WITH THE BOARD.

THIS IS WHAT THIS OE ADDRESSES.

HIS COMMUNICATION HAPPENS WHETHER ACADEMICS IS DOING IT OR TANYA IS DOING IT, OR WHOEVER IS DOING IT.

DOES THE SUPERINTENDENT COMMUNICATE WITH THE BOARD THESE THINGS? I AGREE WITH YOU MEL.

I AGREE WITH YOU.

TOTALLY.

AND SO I JUST THINK THAT TO HAVE A FINANCIAL, UH, TRANSACTION THAT MS. CROSBY WOULD BE, UH, YOU KNOW, MORE ABLE TO PRESENT THAT TO THE, TO THE BOARD AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE BOARD HAS BEEN INFORMED OF THAT TRANSACTION.

I I I THINK IT'S WORTH FURTHER DISCUSSION.

YEAH, FINE.

I IS HOW HE INTERPRETS WHAT HE DOES IS, IS IS A DIFFERENT THING THAN IF HE GETS IT DONE.

I THINK THE COMMUNICATION IS DOES HE COMMUNICATE THIS WITH THE, AND THE ANSWER IS YES TO ALL OF THESE.

HE COMMUNICATES IT WITH THE YES.

THAT'S THE QUESTION IS WITH THE THING BEEN, IS THIS ADEQUATE? YES, IT IS.

HOW HE DOES IT, THAT'S NOT SPECIFIED HERE PARTICULARLY.

THAT'S HOW I'M SEEING THIS NOW.

I I NO, I AGREE.

AND I, OH YEAH, SO I, THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING.

I THINK THAT THE, THE SPIRIT, THE, THE CRITICAL MISSION OF THE OE, WHICH IS DOES THE, DOES THE SUPERINTENDENT KEEP THE BOARD INFORMED ABOUT BIG THINGS? UM, BUT WHAT I WILL SAY ALSO LIKE TO THE EXTENT THAT THIS IS HOW WE GOVERN, RIGHT? THIS IS HOW WE PROVIDE POLICY.

THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN HERE THAT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR TO ASK THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS TO OWN.

UM, AND JUST TO SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT THE INSTRUCTIONAL POWER PROGRAMS, OE 10 10, THERE IS OE 12 EIGHT, ENSURE THAT ALL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS, INCLUDING BOTH CONTENT AND PRACTICE ARE REGULARLY EVALUATED AND MODIFIED AS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THEIR CONTINUING EFFECTIVENESS AND THEN JUST ADD AND COMMUNICATE IT TO THE BOARD, YOU KNOW, OR SOMETHING THAT, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE, CUZ I DON'T THINK THAT THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATION CAN MONITOR THAT AS MUCH, BUT I DO THINK THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATION CAN MONITOR, UM, HOW WELL THE SUPERINTENDENT COMMUNICATES WITH THE BOARD, WHICH I THINK IS WELL REPRESENTED HERE AND ALL SHE'S ASKED TO DO YEAH.

SHE SHE HAS OWNERSHIP OF WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND SHE DOESN'T HAVE OF THAT, RIGHT.

SHE HAS OWNERSHIP OF THIS COMMUNICATION BEATS CORRECT.

OTHER PART SOMEONE ELSE HAS ON, THAT'S WHY IT'S IN 12 BEAT IN OTHER AREAS, RIGHT? SO, SO THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING I DON'T WANNA, I THINK THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY APPROVE THIS, NOT APPROVE, SORRY, ACCEPT THIS MONITORING REPORT.

BUT I DO THINK IT'S WORTH AFTER REVIEWING IT, HAVING POLICY COMMITTEE TO LOOK AT IT AND SEE IF SOME OF THIS STUFF BELONGS IN THE COMMUNICATION OE.

BUT I MEAN, HOWEVER YOU GUYS WANNA MAKE A MOTION OR NOT MAKE A MOTION, IT'S UP TO YOU.

UM, A MOTION TO TO, TO DO THAT.

OKAY.

THANK YOU MEL.

SO, UM, I DON'T THINK, WHAT I THINK WE'LL DO IS WE DON'T NEED A MOTION ON, UM, POLICY, BUT I THINK WHAT WE'LL DO IS JUST MEL'S MADE A MOTION TO ACCEPT OE 10, AND THEN I'LL MAKE A REQUEST SIMILAR TO THE OTHER ONE.

UM, THAT POLICY.

TAKE A LOOK AT OE 10 FOR 2023.

SOUNDS GOOD.

IS THAT A SECOND? THAT'S A SECOND, YES.

AWESOME.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT.

ALL IN FAVOR? UH, AYE.

UNANIMOUS.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS, MR. EARL CAMPBELL.

UM, ALRIGHT, SO THAT BRINGS US TO OUR FINAL OE FOR THE DAY.

OE 11.

GREAT.

SO OE 11, COMMUNICATING WITH THE PUBLIC, UM,

[00:35:01]

THE SUPERINTENDENT SHALL ENSURE THE PUBLIC IS ADEQUATELY INFORMED ABOUT THE CONDITION AND DIRECTION OF THE DISTRICT.

UH, SOME OF THESE THINGS, UM, IN THE SUMMARY YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD EARLIER TODAY, SO I'LL TRY NOT SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON THEM.

UM, BUT TO ENSURE THE TIMELY FLOW OF INFORMATION, APPROPRIATE INPUT AND STRATEGIC TWO-WAY DIALOGUE BETWEEN THE DISTRICT AND THE CITIZENS THAT BUILD UNDERSTANDING AND SUPPORT FOR DISTRICT EFFORTS.

AGAIN, WE LAUNCH LAUNCHED THE NEW, UH, SCHOOL WEBSITES AND DISTRICT WEBSITE.

UM, AND WE CONTINUE TO PROMOTE INITIATIVES THROUGH OUR, YOU KNOW, THE WEBSITE, SOCIAL MEDIA, AND OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL.

UM, I WILL SAY WE ARE EXCITED THAT WE DO HAVE OVER 25,000 FOLLOWERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

UM, AND THE NEWS VIDEOS REVIEWED MORE THAN 700,000 TIMES.

UH, AGAIN, WE HAVE THAT NEW PLATFORM, B C S D ENGAGED FOR PARENTS AND STAFF, UM, WHICH I AM EXCITED WHERE I THINK WE'RE GONNA BE USING THAT MORE AND MORE.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE COMMENCED TO COMMUNICATIONS AUDIT, SIMILAR TO THE TECHNOLOGY AUDIT, UM, WITH AN OUTSIDE AGENCY.

WE HAVE, UM, HAD TO PUT THAT ON HOLD JUST A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN BUSY, YOU KNOW, WITH OTHER ITEMS RIGHT NOW, SUCH AS THE LIBRARY MATERIALS REVIEW, THAT KIND OF THING.

SO, UM, IT WILL KICK OFF AGAIN IN THE SPRING AND YOU WILL GET AN INVITATION TO BE PART OF THAT.

UM, AGAIN, WE HAVE A LOT OF MEDIA INTERVIEWS, UM, ON OUR NEWS RELEASES.

DR.

RODRIGUEZ HAS MANY SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS AND INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY.

UM, AGAIN, ARE INCREASED INVOLVEMENT WITH OUR COMMUNITY ECUMENICAL PARTNERS AND OUR STUDENT ADVISORY GROUP MEETINGS.

UM, OUR ROBOCALLS, UM, THE CLOCK AGAIN, AND THEIR COMMUNICATION EFFORTS, UM, AND THEIR SECTION ON OUR WEBSITE.

UM, AND MY DEPARTMENT HAS, UM, BEEN RECOGNIZED BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA INSPRA WITH, UH, FOUR AWARDS THIS YEAR AND I'M VERY PROUD OF THEM FOR THAT.

UM, IN TERMS OF OUR ANNUAL, UM, PROGRESS REPORT, UM, WITH DATA INDICATING STU STUDENT PROGRESS TOWARDS ACCOMPLISHING THE BOARD RESULTS, POLICIES, UM, DISTRICT STRATEGIES, PROGRAMS AND OPERATIONS, UM, REVENUES, EXPENDITURES, COST OF MAJOR PROGRAMS, AND THE REVIEW OF OUR DISTRICT'S FINANCIAL CONDITION.

UM, I WILL SAY DR.

RODRIGUEZ PRESENTS A LOT ON THESE TOPICS TO VARIOUS COMMUNITY GROUPS.

UM, AND OBVIOUSLY AS YOU KNOW, AT THE BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETINGS, WE, UM, DO HAVE OUR COMMUNITY REPORT CARD THAT IS CURRENTLY IN PRODUCTION.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT IT DID GET DELAYED THIS YEAR BECAUSE, UM, KEY MEMBER OF DATA SERVICES, UH, IS NO LONGER WITH US.

SO, UM, THAT'S THE REASON FOR THE DELAY, BUT WE ARE MOVING FORWARD.

AND THE, UM, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THOUGH, THERE IS QUITE A BIT OF INFORMATION ON OUR NEW WEBSITE.

THE FINANCIAL SECTION OF OUR WEBSITE IS VERY, VERY ROBUST.

UM, AND WE'RE VERY, WE MAKE DEDICATED EFFORTS TO, YOU KNOW, PUT OUT NEWS RELEASES ON ACADEMIC RECOVERY AND FISCAL MATTERS AS WELL.

GREAT.

MI ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

UM, WELL I, YOU KNOW, I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE KIND OF A FAST MEETING AND I JUST WANNA SAY IT'S BECAUSE I THINK THAT THIS IS VERY MUCH A STRONG SUIT OF OUR SUPERINTENDENT COMMUNICATION, PUBLIC IMAGE.

EVERY, IF I EVER AM ANYWHERE WITH HIM, HE MEETS, HE RUNS INTO PEOPLE, HE KNOWS EVERYBODY.

UM, THE FEEDBACK I GET IS THAT HE'S VERY MUCH IN TOUCH WITH STUDENTS AND I HAVE SEEN THAT DEMONSTRATED MULTIPLE TIMES IN CANDACE.

I THINK YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB.

I ALWAYS FEEL INFORMED, UM, AND YOUR EMAILS ARE CONCISE AND, UH, GIVE THE INFORMATION WE NEED, UM, SO THAT I CAN RESPOND TO COMMUNITY CONCERNS.

SO, UM, AS PREDICTED, THIS WAS A PRETTY FAST MEETING TO GO THROUGH FIVE.

OH, BUT I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE CONFIDENCE THE BOARD HAS IN, UH, THIS AREA.

SO WE JUST NEED A FIFTH AND FINAL MOTION UNLESS THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR CONCERNS.

I MOVE TO ACCEPT OPERATION EXPECTATION 11, COMMUNICATING WITH THE PUBLIC AND TO BE PLACED ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

ACCEPTIVE.

EXCELLENT.

ALL IN FAVOR? AYE.

AYE.

AYE.

OKAY, SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UH, ROBIN FIVE OE ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AND I DO BELIEVE THAT WE, THE OE WE DID LAST WEEK ALSO, WE PUT ON THE CONSENT AGENDA, RIGHT? SO, UM, I HAVE TO GO BACK AND LOOK.

YES.

OKAY.

OKAY.

SORRY.

SOMEONE'S COME TO THE DOOR.

UM, I DON'T, WE DON'T NEED ANY FUTURE TOPICS CUZ WE HAVE FUTURE MEETINGS.

UM, OUR NEXT MEETING DECEMBER 14TH, RIGHT AT FOUR O'CLOCK.

RIGHT.

UM, LET ME VERIFY, MAKE SURE

[00:40:01]

I VERIFY THAT TIME.

I BELIEVE THAT WE DID FOUR O'CLOCK AT THE DISTRICT OFFICE.

YES.

EVEN THOUGH CLOCK IS MEETING IN HILTON HEAD, CORRECT? CORRECT.

OKAY.

I MEAN, IS THAT STILL I DON'T, UM, I CAN DO EITHER WAY.

I, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

MEL AND I WOULD HAVE LESS FAR TO DRIVE.

I MEAN IT'S UP TO YOU ALL.

IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER.

OH, IF WE CAN DO IT ON HILTON HEAD IF THERE'S NOT A STRONG OBJECTION.

I MEAN MEL AND I ARE BOTH ON HILTON HEAD AND SO IS MS. WALTON.

UM, SO FOUR O'CLOCK ON THE 14TH AT HILTON HEAD IF POSSIBLE, THAT'D BE AWESOME WITH ME.

OKAY.

UH, WHERE IN HILTON HEAD? INGRID'S HOUSE? YES.

MY HOUSE.

I WILL QUICKLY CLEAN UP.

NO, THE MEDIA CENTER AT THE, UM, HILTON HEAD HIGH SCHOOLS WHERE WE DID IT LAST TIME.

OKAY.

AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

THEY MIGHT BE AT HILTON HEAD MIDDLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF HILTON HEAD MIDDLE IS, BUT I MEAN ALL THE HILTON HEAD SCHOOLS ARE JUST RIGHT THERE NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

SO.

WELL, ARE WE MEETING WHERE CLOCK IS MEETING OR WE'RE MEETING AT THE HIGH SCHOOL? EITHER ONE.

HIGH SCHOOL? IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID MEL? I DON'T THINK CLOCK'S AT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

ARE THEY ROBIN? I'M SORRY, SAY THAT AGAIN.

THAT'S THE CLOCK MEETING.

UM, THAT I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE AT THE MIDDLE SCHOOL OR IF THEY'RE AT THE HIGH SCHOOL, BUT WE'LL FIND OUT AND LET YOU KNOW.

OKAY.

SO TENTATIVELY WE'LL PLAN, WE'LL MEET, WE'LL MEET WHEREVER CLOCK IS.

SO, BECAUSE THEY WILL ALREADY HAVE A, SO WE NEED TO HAVE THIS, THE SETUP.

OKAY.

SO FOUR O'CLOCK, SOMEWHERE ON HILTON HEAD, WHEREVER CLOCK IS.

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE HR PORTION AND TITLE IX, IS THAT CORRECT? CORRECT.

THAT'S WHAT I HAVE.

WENDY, ARE THERE ANY OTHER THAT WE NEED TO ADDRESS BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR? IS SHE STILL THERE? WE, UH, HR, UM, HAVE THE TITLE IS THE BIG ONE, RIGHT? WENDY? DIDN'T WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE? DID WE HAVE STAFF CONDUCT ON THERE AS WELL? I HAD THE, UM, ONE SECOND.

IS THAT THE ONLY ONE OR YOU DON'T HAVE STAFF CONDUCT? WELL, I'LL, I'LL GO THROUGH THAT WITH MS. WALT, MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE UP TO DATE ON EVERYTHING.
