[00:00:01]
GONNA CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.IT WILL BE, UH, AN INFORMATION MEETING ONLY, UM, BECAUSE WE DO NOT HAVE A QUORUM.
UM, SO, UH, WE WILL NOT, UM, TAKE A VOTE TO APPROVE, UH, THE COMMITTEE MEETING, MEETING, MEETING MINUTES, UH, OR, UM, APPROVE THE AGENDA.
UM, BUT WE WILL STAND FOR THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WILL, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
EVER SINCE WE ARE NOT APPROVING THE AGENDA, NOT APPROVING COMMITTEE MEETING, THERE'S NO PUBLIC COMMENTS AND THERE'S NO PUBLIC COMMENTS.
SO FIRST THING UP IS OUR CONSTRUCTION UPDATE.
SO ALLOW ME TO ISSUE THE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE THROUGH THIS, UH, NOVEMBER 30TH, 2025.
UH, STARTING WITH THIS 2019 BOND REFERENDUM.
THE PROJECT THROUGH THE END OF THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER, WE WERE AT A TOTAL OF NINE PROJECT CLOSEOUTS REMAINING AS A HAZARD DOZEN OF THREE SPOT MEETING.
WE ARE SITTING OUT ONE PROJECT CLOSEOUT, AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE MAY HAVE THAT DONE BY THIS WEEK.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE PRESSING ON AND, UH, LOOKING FORWARD TO JUST WRAPPING UP THE CONTRACTORS.
AGAIN, THIS WAS THE BASE SCOPE.
THERE WERE SOME SMALL COMMITMENTS THAT WE, AS WE DISCUSSED, UH, WERE PART OF PURCHASE ORDERS, FOR EXAMPLE, LIKE THE PURCHASE OF THE WEAPON DETECTION SYSTEM OR THE AEDS THAT STILL NEED TO BE FULFILL.
BUT WE ARE REALLY IN AND START RECONCILE ALL THOSE COMMITMENTS SO THAT WE, WE COULD CLOSE THAT UP TO A TEAM.
FRANK ASKED ME ABOUT, UH, IF, IF THIS COMMUNITY WOULD BE AMENABLE TO HIM NOT COMPLETELY CLOSING OUT THE 2019 REFERENDUM, BECAUSE THERE WOULD STILL WILL BE SOME FUNDING, UH, IN THE, THAT WE STILL HAVE CONTINGENCY FUND AVAILABLE.
BUT, BUT HE SAID HE MIGHT WANT BE LOOKING AT USING THAT MONEY TO PUT IN, UH, THE WEAPONS DETECTORS IN THE, UH, SCHOOLS.
BECAUSE THAT WOULD STILL BE, BE WITHIN THE SAFETY AND SECURITY SCOPE OF THE 2019 REFERENDUM.
SO I, I, THAT, THAT, THAT HASN'T, THAT HASN'T COME DOWN OFFICIALLY YET, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT HE ASKED ME TO MENTION TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY PUSHBACK OR, OR, YOU KNOW, CONCERN ABOUT DOING THAT.
I WOULD SAY THE FUNDS WOULD, I MEAN THE FUNDS ARE THERE, SO YEAH, WE COULD USE THAT.
UM, REGARDING THE FINANCIALS, UH, FINANCIALS AT THE END OF THE MONTH, UH, WE HAD A HIDDEN COMMITTED FUNDS OF 3 74 0.83 MILLION WITH A REMAINING AVAILABLE FUNDS, INCLUDING THE CONTINGENCY OF 883.6 K, UH, CONTINGENCY ACTIVITY IN NOVEMBER.
UH, WE HAD, UH, SAVINGS OF 600, 2,800, UM, AND THEN THE USE OF 633,600.
SO AGAIN, IT'S THE BALANCING ACT RIGHT NOW.
UH, THE CONTINGENCY REMAINING AT THE END OF THE MONTH WAS 747,000.
YOU'LL SEE THE NEXT MONTH AS WE KEEP CONTINUE TO CLOSE OUT, THAT
UM, ANY QUESTIONS ON 2019? RIGHT.
UH, MAY RIVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, WE ARE STILL PROGRESSING ON THE SITE WORK.
UM, WATERING GRADING AND RETAINING BONDS ARE ONGOING.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE THE FOUNDATION WALLS COMING UP.
SO WE ACTUALLY JUST WALKED UP RIGHT NOW AS WE WERE LEAVING THE, UH, MAY RIVER, UH, HIGH SCHOOL CT CEREMONY.
SO THEY'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS OUT THERE.
UH, MAY ROOM HIGH SCHOOL, CTE, UH, WE JUST HAD THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE NEW ADDITION, AND THE CONTRACTOR IS NOW, UM, PLANNING ON TAKING OVER THE INTERIOR SO THEY CAN START BEING, UH, THE RENOVATIONS, WHICH WILL GO ON THROUGH SUB CORRECT.
IT WILL GO THROUGH THE SUMMER OF, OF NEXT YEAR.
UM, THE NEW EARLY LEARNING CENTER, WE HAD THE SD PRICING REVIEWED.
WE ISSUED COMMENTS TO THE DESIGN TEAM.
THEY ARE WORKING ON IMPLEMENTING THOSE.
WE ARE GONNA DO A PRICING, UH, REVIEW WITH THE CONTRACTOR AGAIN, UH, THIS FRIDAY TO SEE WHERE OUR COMMENTS WILL TAKE THAT PRICING SO THAT WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE CAN BRING THIS PROJECT TO THE, UH, BUDGETED AMOUNT FOR THAT SCHOOL.
UH, HILTON HIGH SCHOOL, THE, THE CURRENT PHASE THAT'S UNDER CONTRACT PHASE ONE A AND PARTIAL ONE B THAT IS PROGRESSING, UH, ON SCHEDULE.
THE REMAINING PHASE WERE PRESENTED AS THE BOARD MEETING ON DECEMBER 9TH, AND WE ARE WORKING ON GETTING ALL THE SUBMITTALS IN PLACE, STARTING ALL THE PLANNING,
[00:05:01]
GETTING READY TO MOBILIZE ON WHAT THE INTERIOR RENOVATIONS, UH, WILL BE.UM, BEAUFORD HIGH SCHOOL CTE ADDITION RENOVATIONS.
WE HAVE THE CDS THAT ARE SCHEDULED TO BE RECEIVED THIS WEEK.
SO WE SHOULD BE HAVING PRICING BY JANUARY, FEBRUARY OF, UH, 2026.
AGAIN, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF PROJECTS NEXT SUMMER THAT ARE GONNA START COMING, UH, THAT ARE GONNA BE PUT UNDER CONTRACT.
SO WE'LL HAVE A LOT OF MOVEMENT NEXT YEAR.
UM, THAT INCLUDES THE LADIES ON MIDDLE SCHOOL, UH, REPLACEMENT.
WE HAVE 95% CDS, UH, SCHEDULED TO BE RECEIVED IN JANUARY.
AGAIN, WE'RE GONNA DO AN EARLY RELEASE PACKAGE TO GET AHEAD OF SOME OF THOSE LONG LEAD UH, ITEMS, GET SOME OF THE SITE, UH, ITEMS, UH, ORDERS SO THAT WE HAVE A READY WHEN WE BREAK GROUND AND THAT THEN WE'LL DO, UH, AN AMENDMENT THAT WILL SUPERSEDE THAT SO THAT WE CAN, UH, GO FOR THE FULL AMENDMENT.
UH, FULL GIP AND THAT IS SCHEDULED RIGHT NOW FOR THE SPRINGTIME OF 2026.
UH, THE TECH WAREHOUSE IMAGING CENTER.
WE ARE IN OUR FINAL STAGES OF THE, OF THE PROJECT.
UH, RIGHT NOW THE SCHEDULE IS LOOKING LIKE WE'RE GONNA TAKE THAT PROJECT TOWARDS, UH, JAN END OF JANUARY.
UH, WE'RE STILL WORKING SOME, UH, UH, SOME THINGS OUT WITH CONTRACTOR, BUT THERE'S THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY BEING MOVED INTO THAT WAREHOUSE, JUST TRYING TO USE IT AS SOME, UH, FLEX SPACE STRENGTH SPACE BETWEEN WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE AND WHAT'S GOING ON THERE.
SO, UH, 2023 RIGHT NOW IS PROGRESSING, UH, ON SCHEDULE, NO BIG CONCERNS.
UH, 20, THE FINANCIALS AT THE END OF THE MONTH.
WE HAD A PAYMENT COMMITTEE FUNDS OF 189.65 BILLION.
AND, UH, THE REMAINING AVAILABLE FUNDS, WHICH INCLUDED THE CONTINGENCY, WERE AT 249 POINT POINT 39 MILLION.
WE HAD NO CONTINGENCY ACTIVITY FOR THE MONTH, AND WE WERE SITTING AT THE PROGRAM CONTINGENCY OF 11.43 MILLION, UH, WITH THE PROJECT LEVEL CONTINGENCY SITTING AT 30.6 MILLION.
UH, ANY QUESTIONS ON 2023? NOPE.
UM, MOVING ON TO THE OTHER PROJECT UPDATES.
UH, BIGGEST, UH, HIGHLIGHTS THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IS OBVIOUSLY THE ONGOING WORK HERE IN THE DISTRICT OFFICE THAT IS PROGRESSING.
UH, AS, AS EXPECTED, WE HAVE THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM THAT'S COMPLETED IN THE FINANCE DEPARTMENT, AND THERE'S STILL SOME WORK THAT, UH, IS ONGOING FINANCE DEPARTMENT, HR DEPARTMENT STAFF OFFICES.
SO WE'LL CONTINUE TO UPDATE ON THOSE, UH, LADIES ON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THE EXTERIOR DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS.
WE HAVE THE CDS THAT ARE SCHEDULED TO BE ISSUED IN JANUARY NEXT MONTH.
I WILL CONTINUE TO GIVE MORE UPDATES ON THE 8% AS WE START WRAP UP ALL THE DESIGNS AND THE ONCOMING CONTRACTS THAT WE WILL, UH, PUT IN PLACE FOR SUMMER WORK.
UM, THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, BIGGEST THING WE HAD WAS THE RIBBON CUTTING CEREMONY TODAY FOR J-R-O-T-C-S-C-T EDITIONS, WHICH THAT WAS WELL ATTENDED.
AND IF YOU SAW SOME OF THE CHILDREN OUT THERE AND THE STU THE TEACHERS, THEY WERE ALL JUST VERY HAPPY WITH WHAT THEY RECEIVED.
SO WE LOOK FORWARD AND, UH, CONTINUE TO DELIVER WITH SOME OF THESE, UH, PROJECTS THAT WE'RE DOING THROUGH THE 2023 REFERENDUM.
UM, ALL THE ASSIGNMENT, THE COMPLETED STUDENT ASSIGNMENT, UH, MEETINGS FOR THE OPENING OF BAY RIVER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL HAVE, UH, TAKEN PLACE.
THEY WERE AT, UH, BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL, BRIDGEVILLE, MAY RIVER HIGH T, AND KRATON NANCY RILEY.
SO, UH, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER FOLLOW UP TO THOSE ONCE MORE DISCUSSIONS TAKE PLACE ABOVE THE REZONING OF THESE, THESE, UH, AREAS SO THAT WE CAN BE READY FOR MAY RIVER ELEMENTARY, OPEN, OPEN, UH, THE RFPS AND RF QS.
UH, BIGGEST THING RIGHT NOW WE'RE WORKING ON IS THE A I A AGREEMENTS FOR THE ARCHITECTS FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF SUMMER PROJECTS.
UH, WE HAVE FINALIZED MCMILL, PASTOR SMITHS, THEY'RE READY TO GO.
WE HAVE A NEW CO, UH, ARCHITECT THAT IS BEING ONBOARDED RIGHT NOW, IS MOSTLY INC.
SO WE HAVE SOME COMMENTS FROM THEM, BUT WE'RE FINALIZING THEIR AGREEMENT AND, UH, WE SHOULD HOPEFULLY BE SET UP BY THE END OF THE YEAR, IF NOT THE BEGINNING OF NEXT TO, UH, START WORKING WITH THEM.
SO THAT IS EVERYTHING FOR MY, UH, CONSTRUCTION UPDATES.
ANY QUESTIONS? DO NOT GENTLEMEN, ONLINE, UH, MR. SMALL, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.
UH, MR. CARR, UH, MR. SMALL, THE ONE OF YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? NO, THANK YOU.
ALRIGHT, UH, THAT WOULD BE ME.
UH, THE NEXT CON UH, CONVERSATION OR DISCUSSIONS ON FUNERALS AND SCHOOLS.
UM, THIS WAS A REQUESTED TOPIC AND, UM, SO I'VE JUST GIVEN SOME BASE INFORMATION FOR DISCUSSION.
UM, YOU KNOW, THE THING THAT HAS GUIDED US IS OS 29 USE OF SCHOOL FACILITIES, AND IT JUST, UH, AND SO THAT IS OUR STAFF DIRECTIVE.
[00:10:01]
AND THERE WHERE IT SAYS PRIVATE USE, INCLUDING THE NOT LIMITING TO WEDDINGS, FAMILY REUNIONS AND BRIDAL AND BABY BRIDAL SHOWERS, UH, FUNERALS WILL BE CONSIDERED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE SUPERINTENDENT AND HIS OR HER DESIGNEE.NOW, I'LL JUST SAY AS FAR AS FUNERALS GO, THERE'S BEEN KIND OF A TRANSITION OVER TIME.
UM, INITIAL I'D SAY 10 YEARS AGO, IT WAS NO FUNERALS, NEVER NOT ALLOWED, THAT'S IT.
AND THEN CHANGE TO SUPERINTENDENTS AND POLICIES.
WE STARTED ALLOWING, UM, STUDENTS AND STAFF AND DOING, UM, AS FAR AS, UM, UH, CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE AND THEY NEEDED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE SCHOOL OR HAVE WORK FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
AND WE, WE WOULD NOT ALLOW, UM, ANY KIND OF, UH, BODY TO BE PRESENT.
UH, MORE RECENTLY, I KNOW THAT THE, THE SUPERINTENDENT HAS, UM, REQUESTED, YOU KNOW, SOME GUIDANCE FROM THE BOARD AND HE WAS UNCOMFORTABLE MAKING DECISIONS ON GONNA HOLD OR DO NOT.
SO WE'RE MORE OF AN OPEN POLICY RIGHT NOW THAT IF SOMEONE HAS OF COURSE, HAVE A FUNERAL IN THE SCHOOL, WE WILL ALLOW IT.
UM, WE DO STILL PUSH BACK ON THE CASKET, AND OF COURSE, IT NEEDS TO BE IN AN HOUR WHEN THE SCHOOL'S NOT IN USE.
AND IT HAS TO BE, THE SPACE HAS TO BE AVAILABLE.
SO THE ONLY BOARD POLICIES THAT IMPACT, UM, YOU KNOW, FUNERALS AND SCHOOLS WOULD BE OE EIGHT FACILITIES.
AND THERE'S TWO SECTIONS IN THERE.
ONE IS THE SUPER SHALL, ONE IS THE SHALL NOT AND UNDER SHALL IT JUST DEVELOP, OH, SORRY.
DEVELOP AND CONSISTENTLY ADMINISTER FACILITIES USING GUIDELINES.
DELINEATED FOR PERMITTED USES AN APPLE FEE STRUCTURE, CLEAR USE EXPECTATIONS INCLUDING BEHAVIOR CLEANUP, SECURITY INSURANCE, DAMAGE REPAIR AND CONSEQUENCES AND ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES FOR USERS WHO FAILED TO FOLLOW ESTABLISHED RULES.
AND THEN OF COURSE, THE SHALL NOT UNREASONABLY DENY THE PUBLIC'S USE OF FACILITIES AS LONG AS STUDENT SAFETY, STUDENT FUNCTIONS AND THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM ARE NOT COMPROMISED.
SO THAT'S THE INFORMATION I HAVE ABOUT IT.
WITH THAT, I WILL STEP BACK FOR DISCUSSION.
GENTLEMEN, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ONLINE? I WONDER IF, IF IT NEEDS TO HAVE, THERE NEEDS TO BE A CONNECTION, LIKE A FORMER STUDENT OR CURRENT STUDENT OR FACULTY MEMBER, SOMEBODY WHO'S HAD A, AN INVOLVEMENT WITH THE DISTRICT.
JUST, THAT'S MY THINKING AT THE MOMENT.
MR. SMALL, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING? NO, I AGREE WITH MR. CARR ON EVERYTHING THAT HE, UH, SAID.
MS. FRAZIER, ALL BASE IS BEING RESPECTED.
I WOULDN'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH ANYONE BEING ABLE TO USE IT, ESPECIALLY FOR LARGER FUNERALS.
ONE, UH, THERE WAS SOME CONCERN WHEN THIS WAS ASKED ABOUT, UH, AFTER THE SHOOTING AT, UH, UH, ST.
HELENA THAT A FUNERAL OR EVEN A CELEBRATION OF LIFE SERVICE, SAY ST.
HILL ELEMENTARY WOULD BRING, COULD BRING TOGETHER PARTIES WHO WERE WANTING TO, UH, TAKE REVENGE OR DO WHATEVER.
UH, AND SO THEY THOUGHT THAT, UH, THE SECURITY REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE, UH, BIG AND THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL FOR HAVING A PROBLEM AT THE SCHOOL.
THE SECOND ISSUE IS, UH, GOVERNMENT RESTRAINT OF TRADE.
UM, GOVERNMENTS IN MANY STATES, AND MANY LOCALITIES DON'T WANT GOVERNMENT FACILITIES USED IN LIEU OF PRIVATE ENTERPRISE, YOU KNOW, FUNERAL HOMES AND SO ON, THAT BY DOING SO, YOU ARE RESTRAINING THEIR TRADE.
AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S A POLITICAL THING, BUT IT, BUT IT'S A REAL THING.
AND YOU, YOU REALLY, UH, YOU REALLY HAVE TO BE CAREFUL BECAUSE, UH, THAT, THAT THAT COULD CAUSE, UH, BUSINESSES TO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES.
SO IT'S JUST A COUPLE DIFFERENT, UH,
[00:15:02]
QUESTIONS THAT I THINK NEED TO BE CONSIDERED.AND, AND SO IT GIVES THE SUPERINTENDENT, UH, UNQUESTIONABLY DENY AS LONG AS DUE FOR SAFETY FUNCTIONS IN INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM.
SO, YOU KNOW, THERE, THERE'S SOME VER VERBIAGE IN THERE FOR THESE, THE SUPERINTENDENT TO MAKE A JUDGMENT CALL ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
AND IT'S PROBABLY A GOOD THING.
GIVEN THE, UH, THE SHOOTING, UH, RECENT, WHEN I SAY RECENT, YOU KNOW, RECENT ENOUGH SHOOTING, UH, THAT'S ENOUGH TO, TO CAUSE ME TO GIVE PAUSE.
UM, AS WELL AS WHEN, UH, WHEN I WAS STILL ACTIVE DUTY, UH, WE AS MARINE MUSICIANS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO COMPETE WITH CIVILIAN MUSICIANS FOR, SO WE WEREN'T ALLOWED TO BE SOMEONE'S BACKGROUND MUSIC AT DINNER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
'CAUSE THEY COMPETED WITH MARINE OR OTHER MUSICIAN UNIONS.
UM, SO I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THAT WAS A THING, UH, AND WOULD BRING UNDUE LIABILITY, UM, TO THE, THE, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
BUT, UM, I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW, UH, UNFORTUNATELY, UH, THE PERSON'S NOT HERE, BUT I WOULD ANSWER KNOW, BROUGHT THIS TOPIC UP, HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WE KNOW ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE A YEAR-ISH ARE REQUESTING SCHOOLS FOR FUNERALS? BROUGHT BRANDY WITH ME, BRANDY MAJORS.
'CAUSE OF COURSE SHE, SHE MANAGES THIS PROGRAM.
AND THE ANSWER, PROBABLY THIS QUESTION.
UM, SO I WOULD SAY OVERALL IN GENERAL, LESS THAN 20.
UM, BUT IN THE LAST 60 DAYS, WE'VE HAD THREE REQUESTS.
UH, ONE REQUEST WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AND THE EVENT ACTUALLY WENT FULL CIRCLE AT BUFORD HIGH SCHOOL, UM, IN THE PERFORMING ARTS CENTER ON A SATURDAY OUTSIDE OF NORMAL SCHOOL OPERATING HOURS.
UM, SO, UM, WE KIND OF, IT, IT, WE DO THIS, YOU KNOW, WE GO UP AND WE PEAK IN SOME SEASONS, THEN WE GO DOWN, REALLY DON'T HEAR ANYTHING.
UM, THE LAST FAMILY THAT CAME TO US WAS A PREVIOUS STUDENT OF ONE OF OUR SCHOOLS.
UM, AND WE DIDN'T MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT REQUEST AGREEMENT.
WE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT REQUEST AGREEMENT, UH, BECAUSE THERE WAS A SCHEDULING CONFLICT.
AND OBVIOUSLY IN OUR FACILITY, USE AR SCHOOL, UM, EVENTS ARE A PRIORITY.
OUR STUDENTS ON OUR STAFF AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH OUR SCHOOLS, THEY'RE OUR FIRST PRIORITY.
SO IF, UM, ANYTIME AN ORGANIZATION, WHETHER IT'S FUNERAL BASED OR A STANDARD RENTAL AGREEMENT COMES THROUGH, WE ALWAYS GO TO THE SCHOOL AND MAKE SURE THERE'S NOT SCHOOL CONFLICT.
AT NO POINT IN TIME WOULD WE WANNA, UM, PUSH OUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO SUPPORT OUR STAFF AND STUDENTS FOR THEIR ACTIVITIES.
AND, AND THE LAST REQUEST WE HAD, THAT'S WHAT, WHAT HAP FAMILY CAME, WE MET, UM, HAD A REALLY GOOD MEETING.
UH, WE PRESENTED PRICING TO THEM WHAT COST WOULD BE AND SERVICE SUPPORT WOULD BE NEEDED.
UM, AND UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS CONFLICT AND THE SCHOOL COULD NOT ALTER THAT.
UM, SO THAT, THAT ARE THE, UH, THE PEOPLE THAT IF, IF THERE'S, IF THE REQUEST IS APPROVED, ARE THEY REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SECURITY? IS THAT PART OF THEIR RENTAL AGREEMENT? THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THE ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR SECURITY RELATED TO FACILITY USED RENTALS THAT THE DISTRICT HAS PUSHED FORTH IS ANY ATHLETIC RENTAL EVENTS.
SO THIS, THE ONLY OTHER THING WAS IF IT WAS A LARGE OR LARGER, IF WE KNEW THAT THEY'RE, THEY'RE EXPECTING A VERY LARGE CROWD, THEN WE MAY REQUIRE SECURITY.
WE WOULD MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION BASED ON CROWD SIZE.
BUT RIGHT NOW IN STONE, ANYTHING ATHLETIC EVENT RELATED, THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE PRIVATE ARMED SECURITY.
AND IF IT'S IN OFF HOURS, WE DO REQUIRE 'EM TO HAVE CUSTODIAL.
UH, I MEAN, GIVEN THE, OUR, THE, THE RECENT SHOOTING, I MEAN, I, THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT THE BOARD MIGHT WANT TO ENTERTAIN.
IF, UH, IF THAT'S, IF WE'RE GONNA KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH THIS, UM, I, OUR MAYBE SOMETHING TO ENTERTAIN AT ALL.
ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY, UH, THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT? ANYBODY ONLINE? NOTHING.
UM, FROM, FROM A COMMUNITY STANDPOINT, ONE OF THE REASONS THAT THEY LOOK TO COME TO OUR SCHOOLS IS BECAUSE IF THEIR CHURCH AFFILIATIONS IS A SMALL CHURCH, WHICH A LOT OF THEM ARE IN THIS COMMUNITY, THAT'S WHY THEY, YOU GO TO THE SCHOOLS.
SO A LOT OF IT IS MORE SO BECAUSE OF THEY CAN'T HAVE IT IN THEIR CHURCH OR THEIR CHURCH HOME, WHICH IS, IS ODD TO ME.
I MEAN, I, I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND, I TOTALLY GET IT, BUT I WAS JUST ABOUT TO MAKE THE COMMENT.
GIVEN CON CONSIDERING THE SPIRITUAL CULTURE OF THE LOW COUNTRY, YOU KNOW,
[00:20:01]
I WOULD, I'M SURPRISED THAT AS MANY AS 20 PEOPLE A YEAR WANT TO USE THE SCHOOLS OPINION BECAUSE, BECAUSE THEIR, THEIR FACILITIES IS VERY SMALL.WELL, UH, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? COMMON CONCERNS, UH, GENTLEMEN ON THE LINE, ON THE, ON THE COMMITTEE, MS. FRAZIER? NOTHING.
UM, WELL, UH, SINCE WE ACTUALLY HAVE A, A QUORUM HERE, UH, DO WANT TO GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE, UH, THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING? UM, NEED TO APPROVE THE AGENDA FIRST.
AND, AND THEN GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE MINUTES.
GENTLEMEN, YOU OKAY WITH THAT? YEP.
IS THERE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE AGENDA? SO MOVED.
UM, WE WOULD NOT HAVE NECESSARILY SCHEDULED ONE IN JANUARY BECAUSE OF THE ELECTIONS AND BECAUSE THEN IT'S A POSSIBILITY OF NEW COMMITTEES AND SO FORTH.
THIS TIME WE WOULD NOT SCHEDULE ONE.
THEN WE WILL ADJOURN BY UNANIMOUS CONSENT.
