EVENING. THIS IS THE BUSINESS MEETING OF THE BEAUFORT COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR SEPTEMBER 1 TWENTY TWENTY. THE MEETING IS BEING CONDUCTED BY A REMOTE VIDEO CONFERENCING AND THE MEETING IS ALSO BEING LIVE STREAMED BY THE COUNTY CHANNEL. THE BOARD HAS NOW COME OUT OF EXECUTIVE SESSION AND WE ARE

[6:00 Public Session]

REGARDING MATTERS DISCUSSED AND EXECUTIVE SESSION, MR OBEID? >> YES, MADAM CHAIR, I MOVE WE

[Action as Necessary or Appropriate Regarding Matters Discussed in Executive Session]

AUGUST 30 FIRST TWENTY TWENTY PERSONNEL RATIFICATION REPORT. >> SECONDLY, MR. SPRINGER ANY

DISCUSSION MR. SMITH YOUR MUTED WILL. >> GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU. >> I WOULD LIKE TO ACCESS DR. RODRIGUEZ.

WHAT IS THE PROTOCOL? WHAT WHAT PROTOCOL DOES THE DISTRICT UTILIZE FOR ADDRESSING

ADMINISTRATION OPENINGS? >> SO MR. SMITH, WE HAVE YOU REFERRING TO ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS. ARE YOU REFERRING TO PRINCIPALS AT THIS TIME? I'M REFERRING TO BOTH BOB. BOTH THE QUESTION IS THE QUESTION IS WHAT'S THE WHAT THE WHAT PROTOCOL DOES DISTRICT USE FOR DRESSING ADMINISTRATION ADMINISTRATIONS OF OPENINGS OKATIE AND ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS? WELL, OK, I'M GOING TO ASK MISS WALTON, OUR H.R. CHIEF TO GUIDE US THROUGH EVERY STEP OF THAT PROCESS.

>> OKAY. MR. SMITH, WOULD YOU LIKE ME EXPLAIN THE THE PROCESS HIRING

FOR ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS AND PRINCIPALS THAT ARE THAT'S. >> THAT'S ONE OK.

THAT'S I SUPPOSE A QUESTION ALL PRINCIPAL POSITIONS ARE ADVERTISED UNLESS THE SUPERINTENDENT DECIDES THAT HE WANTS TO DO AN INTERNAL PROMOTION TO A PRINCIPAL SHIP JOB ADVERTISED AN INTERVIEW TEAM IS PUT TOGETHER WHICH CONSISTS OF PRINCIPALS, TEACHERS, STUDENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PARENTS.

THAT COMMITTEE SELECTS THE TOP THREE AND THOSE TOP THREE FINALISTS WILL GO TO THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE SUPERINTENDENT AT THAT POINT WILL SELECT WHO HE BELIEVES WOULD BE THE BEST FIT FOR THE VACANCY AT HAND FOR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL POSITIONS.

THERE IS A POOL PROCESS EVERY SUMMER OR EVERY END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

THE DISTRICT CREATES AN APPLICATION PROCESS AND INTERVIEW PROCESS TO CREATE A POOL OF ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS THAT PRINCIPALS CAN SELECT FROM DURING ANY TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THEY HAVE A VACANCY. SOMETIMES A PRINCIPAL MIGHT BE PROMOTED TO AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL MIGHT BE PROMOTED TO A PRINCIPAL AND A PRINCIPAL HAS A VACANCY.

SO THAT POOL IS THERE FOR THAT PRINCIPAL WHO HAS A VACANCY TO SELECT AN INDIVIDUAL TO BRING TO THEIR SCHOOL. THIS YEAR WE DID THAT PROCESS THAT INTERVIEW TEAM CONSISTS OF PRINCIPALS ON THAT PRINCIPAL TEAM WOULD BE ANY PRINCIPAL WHO AT THAT TIME HAS A VACANCY FOR AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL AND THEN WE SPREAD THE REST OF THE OF THE OPENING FOR THAT INTERVIEW TEAM TO ELEMENTARY MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL SO THAT WE WILL HAVE A VARIETY OF LEVELS THERE.

SO ONCE WE DO THAT WE RANK SCORE THOSE CANDIDATES, RANK THEM AND PLACE THEM IN A PORTAL IN OUR APPLICATION SYSTEM. THAT ONLY IS VISIBLE TO PRINCIPALS TO SELECT AN

ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL FROM THAT LIST. >> THANK YOU.

ON YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO PROCEED?

>> GO AHEAD. ALSO CAN YOU EXPLAIN IN THE POSTINGS OF THE OF THESE POSITIONS HOW LONG WAS THE WORST THE LONGEST IN THE SHORT HISTORY OF IS THERE IS THERE

TIME FOR THE OF THE POSTINGS? >> I'M NORMALLY BY PRACTICE WE'D LET A POSITION STAY POSTED

[00:05:04]

MOST OF THOSE POSITIONS ARE POSTED UNTIL THEY ARE FILLED AND WE DON'T CLOSE THE POSITION UNTIL WE ACTUALLY SELECT THE CANDIDATE AND THAT CANDIDATE SAYS YES, I WILL TAKE THAT

POSITION AND THEN WE CLOSE THE POSITION. >> SO IF I MAY STANDARDS I'M UNDERSTANDING YOU WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THAT STANDARD PRACTICE IS THAT ALL POSITIONS ARE OPEN FOR ME. OPEN OR MANDATORY OF FIVE OF OUR FIVE DAYS AT LEAST AT LEAST FIVE DAYS IN A STANDARD OPERATE AND OPERATING PROCEDURES, A STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE.

>> THE EXCEPTION TO THAT IS IF THE SUPERINTENDENT DOES NOT WANT TO POST A POSITION BUT HE WANTS TO MAKE AN INTERNAL PROMOTION OR AN INTERNAL MOVE TO FILL THAT POSITION.

>> AND ALSO THERE'S DECENT WE HAVE TO HAVE WE CHANGED ANY PRINCIPALS, ADMINISTRATORS HOW WE MOVE ANY WE MOVE AROUND AND WE HAVE TRANSFERRED ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

PRINCIPALS FROM ONE SCHOOL TO OTHER SCHOOLS. >> YES, WE HAVE.

AND WAS THERE ANY WELL, WHAT WAS THERE WAS THEY ANY PARTICULAR REASONS OR ANY

PARTICULAR I'M SORRY I DIDN'T HEAR THE END OF YOUR QUESTION. >> WHAT WERE THEY? WELL, THERE WERE THERE ANY THINGS THAT WHAT THESE CHANGES UP UP ABOUT OR INTEREST JUST YOU KNOW OR OR DOES IS IT IS AS IN OUR COMMON PRACTICE THAT IT IS COMMON PRACTICE FOR

DIFFERENT REASONS. >> SOMETIMES AN ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL NEEDS NEW LEARNING.

SOMETIMES A PRINCIPAL NEEDS A NEW BLOOD AND SOMETIMES WE WANT TO CREATE A BETTER FIT AND A BETTER MATCH FOR SCHOOL TO HELP THE SCHOOL GROW AND TO HELP THAT ADMINISTRATOR GROW.

>> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. VOTING IS NOW OPEN.

YES. YES. >> ROBERT, THE MOTION CARRIES

UNANIMOUSLY 10 0. >> DO WE HAVE ANY FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE REGARDING MATTERS DISCUSSED IN EXECUTIVE SESSION, MR. SMITH? DO YOU WANT TO TAKE I SHALL HAVE IT. I'LL HAVE IT OK. MADAM CHAIR, I MOVE.

WE APPROVED THE SUPERINTENDENT'S RECOMMENDATION FOR THE MONTHLY ADULT ED HOME

SCHOOL REPORT. >> AND DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I THINK THAT WAS MR. STRINGER.

ANY DISCUSSION VOTING IS NOW OPEN? >> YES.

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY 10 0 . I THINK THAT CONCLUDES THE

[Pledge of Allegiance, Moment of Silence, Statement of Media Notification]

[00:10:04]

>> WE WILL NOW STAND A PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. >> I PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE UNITED STATES. MARTIN AND TO THE REPUBLIC LEADERSHIP.

THE ONE NATION NATION UNDER GOD. INDIVISIBLE CIVIL LIBERTIES AND

JUSTICE SERVICES. >> PLEASE BE SEATED. >> WE'LL NOW HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR TIM HOLSINGER WHO IS A RETIRED TEACHER FROM BLUFFTON HIGH SCHOOL, WAS AN ART TEACHER AND HIS LOVE AND PASSION WAS POTTERY AND HE PASSED AWAY A FEW DAYS AGO.

>> THE MEDIA HAS BEEN PROPERLY NOTIFIED. WE ARE NOW DOWN TO OUR FIRST

PUBLIC COMMENTS. >> PUBLIC COMMENTS. >> I'LL TURN IT OVER TO YOU.

CAN YOU STATE YOUR NAME? AND SO THEY CAN HEAR YOU. >> YES.

[First Public Comments]

AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TREE. WHILE I TRUST THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT ARGUING FOR WOMEN'S EQUALITY IN THE ARMED FORCES, ATTORNEY DAVID GINSBERG TOLD THE JUSTICES AND I QUOTE ALL I ASK OF OUR BRETHREN KATE, TAKE YOUR FEET OFF OUR NECKS.

CLOSE CALL OR SUGGEST THAT HER STATEMENT WAS OVER THE TOP CHILDISH ANTAGONISTIC RECALLING AN AUGUST 22ND DISCOURSE SQUANDERED AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN A MEANINGFUL WHEN MR. EARL CAMPBELL BEGAN HIS HYPOCRITICAL ADMONISHMENT OF CURRENT BOARD MEMBERS BEHAVIORS. HE FAILED TO MENTION THAT AS BOARD CHAIR HE CALLED PUBLIC SPEAKERS THAT BY CRITICIZING THE BOARD THEY WOULD DIE AND GO TO.

HE WAS SILENT AND UNRESPONSIVE DURING AN EXCHANGE WHEN MISS CORDRAY SAID THE DOCTOR WAS EITHER YOU DON'T HAVE THE PROOF OR YOU DON'T HAVE THE. NEITHER GAVEL REQUESTS FOR RECESS WAS HEARD. MAYBE WOULD AGREE. THESE EXAMPLES QUALIFY AS OVER THE TOP CHILDISH, ANTAGONISTIC AND BULLYING. THE WASTED OPPORTUNITY CONTINUED WHEN OTHERS CHOSE TO CHERRY PICK AN IDIOM THAT HAS BEEN REFERENCE FOR CENTURIES BY ICONS ACTIVIST AND SOCIETAL CHANGE AGENTS SUCH AS ROOT BEER AGAINST THE QUORUM HAS BEEN PROBLEMATIC. YET REMEDIES REMAIN ELUSIVE. SOME MEMBERS APPEAR INDIFFERENT AND JUST SIT QUIETLY. SOME SUGGEST CALLING ON THEIR BETTER ANGELS.

SIX MEMBERS IN COURT ENCOURAGE DR. WAS TO BE LESS HUBRISTIC AND SUGGEST THAT IMPLEMENTING THE ESCALATING GRAVITY'S SOFTENING HER TONE AND MINIMIZING HER DESIRE FOR EXPEDIENCY. THESE SUGGESTIONS WILL REQUIRE ATTITUDINAL CHANGES IN PERSONAL COURAGE. RESPECTFULLY, I SUGGEST THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE CHANCELLOR CHALLENGING TIMES AND MANDATE INDIVIDUALS WHO CODDLE CRITICISM, DEMONSTRATE PATIENCE, EMBRACE SELF REFLECTION, ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY, REACH OUT AND ENGAGE. EVEN THE SO-CALLED CRITICS, CONTRARIANS AND GADFLIES AFTER MORE THAN 18 MONTHS THE CHAIR MUST RECOGNIZE THAT NEITHER SMASHING THE GAVEL NOR HAVING THE LAST WORD ENSURES POWER'S PERFORMANCE OR CANDOR. A RHETORICAL QUESTION.

OH REACHED OUT TO MR. SMITH AFTER THE AUGUST 4TH MEETING. FEEDBACK IS WELCOME.

I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST MY COMMENTS ARE ATTACHED TO THE BOARD MINUTES.

THANK YOU AND AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. LAST PUBLIC COMMENT.

>> OK. THANK YOU. WE ARE DOWN NOW TO THE APPROVAL

[00:15:01]

I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE AUG. 14 15 20 20 OR WORK SESSION MINUTES.

[Chairman’s Report: Update on Fiscal Autonomy]

AND CURRENTLY BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT HAVE ANY AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.

THAT IS DONE BY COUNTY COUNCIL IN OUR IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT AND COUNTY.

SO THERE ARE ABOUT 80 DISTRICTS SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND THERE DIVIDED

BASICALLY INTO. >> WE CAN DIVIDE THEM INTO THIRDS A THIRD HAVE NO AUTHORITY LIKE BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, A THIRD. HAVE FISCAL AUTONOMY WHERE THE SCHOOL BOARD VOTES BY MAJORITY TO SET THE OPERATIONS MILLAGE RATE AND THEN ABOUT A THIRD OF THEM HAVE SOME LIMITED AUTHORITY SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN COMPLETE AUTHORITY AND HOWEVER

[00:20:06]

CAP UNDER ACT TO A ACT 388. >> SO BASICALLY FISCAL AUTONOMY IS LIMITED AND IT'S IN AN

OVERSIMPLIFIED MATTER. >> THE LIMITS ARE BASED REALLY ON INFLATION AND POPULATION

GROWTH SO ON. >> EXCUSE ME ON MAY 15TH WE HAD A JOINT COUNTY COUNCIL AND BOARD OF EDUCATION MEETING WITH THREE MEMBERS FROM EACH OF THE RESPECTIVE BOARDS MEETING TOGETHER IT WAS THE CHAIR, THE VISE CHAIR AND THEN THE LIAISON FOR EACH RESPECTIVE BOARD MEETING AND SO FOR OUR BOARD IT WAS MYSELF MAESTRO VINE AND MR. GEIER AND FOR THE COUNTY COUNCIL IT WAS JOE PASSIM AT PAUL SOMERVILLE AND ROBERT AND STU RODMAN AND ONE OF THE TOPICS DISCUSSED AT THAT MEETING WAS FISCAL AUTONOMY AND THE THREE COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT ALL WERE SUPPORTIVE OF THE BOARD MOVING TOWARDS ACTION FOR FISCAL AUTONOMY IF THE

BOARD CHOSE TO DO SO. >> SO THE BEAUFORT COUNTY LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION IS THE ONE THAT WOULD HAVE TO APPROVE AND INTRODUCE LEGISLATION FOR ADOPTION BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE COUNTY COUNCIL PLAYS OUR LEGAL ROLE IN ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY THERE YOU KNOW, THERE'S POLITICS INVOLVED AND I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF WE DECIDE THAT AS A BOARD THAT THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO MOVE TOWARDS FISCAL AUTONOMY THAT WE SHOULD GET THE SUPPORT OF COUNTY COUNCIL AND THEN THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND THE COUNTY COUNCIL A APPROACH THAT THE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION FOR INTRODUCING LEGISLATION THAT'S KIND OF THE THE BASICS ABOUT IT.

>> AND I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION AT A FUTURE BOARD MEETING OR WORK SESSION SO THE BOARD CAN DECIDE AS A WHOLE WHETHER OR NOT WE WANT TO

PROCEED IN THIS DIRECTION. >> THE NEXT ITEM UNDER THE CHAIRMAN'S REPORT IS THAT

[Chairman’s Report: Update on SCSBA Law Conference]

[Committee Reports: Ad Hoc Results Committee]

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. AS YOU RECALL, WE PULLED OUT RESULTS COMING BACK TOGETHER TO LOOK AT THE EVALUATE DR. RODRIGUEZ'S EVALUATION FORMS IN LIGHT OF THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC. THE COMMITTEE MET AND WE LOOKED AT FIRST WE LOOKED AT 10, 20, 19, 20, 20 EVALUATION WHICH IS DUE THIS OCTOBER AND REALIZE THAT WE DO NOT HAVE THE METRICS FOR ACADEMICS AND LIKEWISE WE CAN'T REALLY PUT MUCH CREDENCE IN THE METRICS FOR FINANCE OR TEACHER RETENTION BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC HAS HAD AN IMPACT ON THAT.

[00:25:01]

SO OUR RECOMMENDATION TO THE BOARD IS THAT WE DO NOT USE THE METRICS PIECE OF THE VALUE WHERE EVALUATION AND JUST USE THE PROFESSIONAL PIECE WHICH IS THAT THE TOP PART WITHIN THAT THERE ARE CATEGORIES SUCH AS FISCAL RESPONSIBLY. BUT WE JUST DON'T THE METRICS SO THAT THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION FOR 20, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20 AND 21 WE SUGGEST USING THE METRICS THAT WE WERE GOING TO USE FOR 1920 AND 5TH THOSE OUT A YEAR THERE'S AN ASSUMPTION THERE THAT WE WILL HAVE THOSE METRICS WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE A QUALIFYING STATEMENT THAT IF THE PANDEMIC AFFECTS OUR ABILITY TO COLLECT METRICS WE'LL HAVE TO REVISIT THIS AND FOR THE 20 20 ONE TWENTY TWENTY TWO EVALUATION THOSE WOULD BE THE STATISTICS THAT WE ORIGINALLY HAD FOR 20, 20, 21. SO WE JUST SHIFTED IT OUT A YEAR RECOGNIZING THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE METRICS FOR THIS YEAR BUT PERFORMANCE IN THOSE AREAS IS STILL AVAILABLE IN THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PART. SO THAT'S OUR RECOMMENDATION. AND AGAIN THERE'S THE CAVEAT IN THERE. WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT IMPACT COHORT 19 IS GOING TO HAVE ON THIS. SO THEY HAVE TO GO BACK AND REVISIT THAT.

WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GET DR. RODRIGUEZ'S AGREEMENT ON THIS, BUT IT PROBABLY WOULD BE BETTER TO GET HIS AGREEMENT AFTER THE BOARD'S AGREED. SO THAT'S WHAT'S IN FRONT OF US TONIGHT. KATHY, YOU ARE COLONEL. YOU CAN CERTAINLY KICK IN IF YOU ADD ANYTHING ADDITIONAL YOU CAN CAN I? I'M GOING TO RAISE MY HAND.

>> CAN I GO AHEAD? YES, GO AHEAD. OK.

I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THERE ARE FIVE CATEGORIES IN THE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE GOVERNANCE AND BOARD RELATIONS COMMUNITY RELATIONS STAFF RELATIONS, BUSINESS AND FINANCE INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP. SO THOSE CATEGORIES ARE STILL BEING ADDRESSED IN THAT PORTION OF THE WE EVALUATE. WE JUST AS MR. DISTRIBUTOR SAID WE DON'T HAVE METRICS.

WE DON'T HAVE STATE TESTING. WE DON'T HAVE MAP TESTING. WE DON'T HAVE THE METRICS THAT WERE IN OUR PLAN TO TO YOU. SO WE THOUGHT WE'D COME UP WITH A NUMBER OF THEIR MR. GUY, I

WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. WE WANTED TO USE THIS YEAR TO ESTABLISH A BASELINE AND WE SAID TO DR. RODRIGUEZ WHEN WE NEGOTIATE THIS INSTRUMENT THAT WE DIDN'T WANT ANY SLIPPAGE IN ACADEMIC OR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE, WE WANTED YOU TO

AT LEAST MAINTAIN WHAT YOU HAD WHEN YOU ARRIVED A YEAR AGO. >> UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE TESTING, BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE A REALLY EXTENSIVE BUDGET

. >> WE KNEW WE WOULD HAVE EXACTLY WHAT WE HAD LAST YEAR.

>> AND WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO GET FROM THE STATE COULD NOT ESTABLISH THIS YEAR AS A BASELINE. SO THEREFORE WE'RE HOPING THAT THIS YEAR THIS COMING YEAR WILL BE ABLE TO GIVE US SOME DATA. WE WILL BE ABLE TO LOOK AT OUR BUDGET AND MUCH MORE DETAILS FOR THE NEXT DURING THE NEXT BUDGET CYCLE THAT WE WILL HAVE HOPEFULLY TESTING DATA THROUGH AGAIN ESTABLISH A BASELINE AND AGAIN WE DISCUSS THAT THAT WE'VE FEEL THAT THE PERFORMANCE ON THE METRICS SHOULD NOT INCREASE BUT SHOULD STAY THE SAME AND MAKE THAT A VALID

[00:30:06]

BUT WE ESTABLISH THE BASELINE. WE CANNOT ESTABLISH GOALS FOR IMPROVEMENT THOUGH THAT'S WHY WE HAVE DONE MAKING THIS RECOMMENDATION TO THE FULL BOARD TO USE MORE SUBJECTIVE EVALUATIONS. NOW IF YOU LOOK AT THE METRICS THAT ALL OF THE FORMS YOU WILL SEE THAT WE DO HAVE SUBJECTIVE EVALUATIONS ON HOW THE SUPERINTENDENT HANDLED FINANCIAL MATTERS, HOW WE HANDLED INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP, HOW WE HANDLED PERSONNEL ACTIONS. SO THERE ARE STILL WAYS FOR EACH BOARD MEMBER TO EVALUATE YOU HAVE DIFFERENT CRITERIA THAT YOU CAN SELECT AND YOU GIVE A NO SCORE FOR EXAMPLE POLICY DEVELOPMENT IF HE MAKES DECISIONS WITHOUT REGARD TO ADOPTED POLICY YOU COULD TREAT HIM AS INEFFECTIVE AS A ONE POINT OR IF HE IS MINIMALLY EFFECTIVE THE PROVIDES CORRESPONDENCE AND FOLLOWS AS WRITTEN YOU COULD SAY MINIMALLY EFFECTIVE IF HE'S ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT RECOMMENDATION ADMINISTRATION THE DISTRICT HOURS AND YOU'D SAY EFFECTIVE AND GIVE HIM THREE POINTS AND THEN IF YOU SAY HE'S HIGHLY EFFECTIVE HE'S PROACTIVE. THE TERMINATION OF DISTRICT NEEDS AND POLICY PRIORITIES AND HAS A SYSTEM IN PLACE TO ENSURE TIME TO ADMINISTRATION OF DISTRICT 8 HOURS YOU GIVE HIM A FORKLIFT. NOW THIS IS SUBJECTIVE SO EACH BOARD MEMBER WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A JUDGMENT AND PUT A RATING A NUMBER RATING IN EACH BOX.

THOSE BOXES WOULD ALL BE ADDED UP AND THEN EACH BOARD MEMBER WOULD HAVE A TOTAL RATING FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT. THAT TOTAL RATING WOULD THEN BE COMBINED WITH A TOTAL RATING FOR EACH OF THE BOARD MEMBERS. AND THAT WOULD THAT WOULD COME TOGETHER AND THAT WOULD GIVE THE OVERALL EVALUATION OF DR. RODRIGUEZ'S PERFORMANCE AND HE WOULD GET THAT NUMBER PLUS HE WOULD GET COPIES OF EACH INDIVIDUAL'S BOARD MEMBERS EVALUATION.

SO IF HE HAD A QUESTION IF A BOARD MEMBER SAYS I DON'T BELIEVE YOU WERE EFFECTIVE IN THIS AREA AND THEN THE SUPERINTENDENT WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW WHO SAID THAT AND BE ABLE TO CONTACT THAT PERSON AND SAY PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHY YOU GAVE ME THAT RATING. SO IT'S NOT THIS IS NOT A FREE TICKET.

HE'S STILL GOING TO GET A SUBJECT EVALUATION BY EVERY BOARD MEMBER.

WE JUST DON'T HAVE THE HARD DATA SCHOOL THAT'S PERFORMING ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OR THE BUDGET PERFORMANCE DATA OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT WE KNOW WHAT WE GOT LAST YEAR AND WE KNOW WE DIDN'T SPEND IT ALL. SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE'VE GOT.

THAT IN A NUTSHELL IS WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. IF A FELLOW COMMITTEE MEMBERS HAVE ANY DIFFERENT, PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. CAMPBELL. >> YES.

APPRECIATE THE EFFORT FROM THE COMMITTEE GOING FORWARD. LET'S SAY WORST CASE SCENARIO WE NEVER GET OUT OF THIS PANDEMIC POSITION AND WE'RE YOU KNOW, GRASPING FOR FOUR STATISTICS OR METRICS AS WE GO ALONG AND I YOU KNOW, FROM ALL I'VE READ AND BEGAN TO UNDERSTAND THOSE METRICS ARE BEGINNING TO BECOME YOU KNOW, VOID IN AND EFFECTIVE ANY WAY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. SO THE PUSH IS TO GET TO INTRODUCE METRICS FROM THOSE STANDARDIZED POSITIONS LIKE STATE TEST AND FEDERAL TESTS. WHAT CAN WE DO IN-HOUSE TO CREATE OR DEVELOP METRICS THAT WE CAN YOU KNOW, EXPECT SOME TYPE OF OF THE MIRACLE NUMBERS FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT. WE'RE IN THIS THING FIVE YEARS. HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT KIND OF PROGRESS WE'RE MAKING OR NON PROGRESS? I THINK SOMEHOW ASIDE FROM

[00:35:01]

MAYBE WE CAN X DANIEL THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE CAN DO IN-HOUSE THAT WE CAN COME UP WITH ONE STANDARDIZED POSITION, YOU KNOW, FROM ONE YEAR TO THE NEXT.

BUT YOU KNOW I CAN'T SEE US WAITING AT THIS YEAR'S STATISTICS BUT I'LL ALSO BE HAZY BUT IS A AND IF WE DON'T GET ANYTHING FROM OUTSIDE WOULD WE HAVE SOMETHING FROM INSIDE? I SUGGEST WE CREATE SOMETHING FROM INSIDE AS A BACKUP. THAT'S MY THAT'S MY OPINION ON THE WHOLE THING. BUT OTHERWISE YEAH. YOU KNOW, SUBJECTIVITY IS IS WELL ALL WE HAVE. THANK YOU MR. SMITH. I WAS THAT MR. COWEN.

>> CAMPBELL I DO AGREE I DO AGREE WITH YOU. SO MY PROCESS QUESTION WILL BE TO MR. SCRIPTURE IS I THERE'S JUST THIS IS JUST A UPDATE, CORRECT? YOU JUST JUST UPDATING THE BOARD ON WHICH I CAME OUT WITH WELL, WE WERE LOOKING FOR THE BOARD TO APPROVE THIS BECAUSE A 19 1920 EVALUATION IS DUE IN OCTOBER AT THIS TIME.

>> I MOVE THAT WE TABLED THIS DISCUSSION TO OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING.

YEAH. AND THIS TIME I MOVE THAT WE TABLE I WOULD THINK THAT WE

TABLE DISCUSSION. >> MR. SMITH, I WOULD SUGGEST YOU USE THE WORD POSTPONE

BECAUSE TABLE REALLY MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK OFF. >> OKAY.

>> WHAT WHAT THIS AT THIS TIME. AND I I WOULD I WAS I WOULD MAKE A MOTION THAT WE POSTPONE THIS THAT WE POSTPONE THIS TOPIC UNTIL THE NEXT NEXT BOARD MEETING WHICH IS SEPTEMBER 15TH. WHAT DO I DO UNTIL WE POSTPONE UNTIL SEPTEMBER 15TH? ALL RIGHT. DO WE HAVE A SECOND? I'LL SIT IN FOR DISCUSSION.

>> OK, MR. ASH EXEC, DO YOU WANT TO TALK FURTHER, MR. SMITH, WHILE YOU'RE MAKING THAT

MOTION? >> NOT NOT NOT NOT THIS TIME BUT YOU GRAMMAR SCHOOL THAT NOT

THIS TIME. NO, NO, OH, I'M SORRY. >> I'M SURE WHAT HAD I WOULD ASK MR. SMITH WHAT WHAT? WHAT DO WE EXPECT TO CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THE 15TH? I SEE NOW IN BETWEEN 9 AND 15 I WILL BE ABLE TO DIGEST THIS AND DALI READ IT AND BE ABLE TO SEE POINT AND MAKE A DECISION BECAUSE OUR POLICY STATES THAT DID NOT THAT THE INFORMATION WILL BE WE'LL BE PUTTING THEM ON THURSDAY. AND THIS WAS PRETTY ANNOYING.

OH YES. YES. LAST NIGHT LATE LATE LATE YESTERDAY EVENING AND I NEED LO I NEED SOME MORE TIME TO MAKE A SOUND DECISION BASED ON THIS BECAUSE THIS IS THIS IS A LOT KIND OF KIND. A LOT OF CHANGES IN IT.

LIKE MR. CAMPBELL SAID THEY NEED TO BE OTHER. I THINK THERE'S SOME OTHER THINGS THAT NEED TO BE THOUGHT OUT VERSUS JUST MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON EMOTIONS AND WHAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US. I'D LIKE SOME TIME TO THINK THINK THINK MORE ON IT.

>> MR. DARLING, I THINK WE'VE GOT TWO SEPARATE ISSUES HERE. I'M INTERESTED IN GETTING THE EVALUATION FOR THIS YEAR ON THE BOOKS AND AS UNLESS I HEARD MR. GREER WRONG, THE EVALUATION PROCESS FOR THIS YEAR THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS LAST YEAR.

AND WE ALL DID IT LAST. SO WE ALL HAVE HAD TIME TO DIGEST THAT PROCESS.

SO I WOULD I WOULD NOT SUPPORT DELAYING THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS YEAR INSTRUMENT.

DR. RODRIGUEZ EVALUATION AT ALL. THE SECOND THING IS GOING.

WHAT TO DO GOING FORWARD. I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE TACKLE THAT AFTER WE'VE DONE THE EVALUATE FUNCTION THIS TIME TO SEE HOW IT WENT. AND THEN WE CAN DO A POSTMORTEM ON THE EVALUATE AND TRY AND DECIDE HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT TO MISS OUR SHACK AND THE

MIGHT LAST ON AUGUST 20TH. >> WAS THAT YOUR LAST MODEL FOR THE RESULTS COMMITTEE? WELL, I DO THAT I DON'T REMEMBER THE DATE WE HAVE. WE MET ONCE.

THIS IS THE RESULT OF IT. OKAY. THANK YOU.

SO I I HEAR WHAT MR. SMITH IS SAYING. WE DID RECEIVE THE DOCUMENTS YESTERDAY. I WOULD SAY THAT A LITTLE MARKUP MAY BE APPROPRIATE GIVEN

[00:40:07]

RODRIGUEZ FIRST TO UNDERSTAND HIS POSITION ON THIS VERY WATERED DOWN VERSION OF HIS

FIRST YEAR AND EVALUATION OF HIS FIRST YEAR. >> SO FOR ME IT'S MORE OF A SEQUENCING ISSUE. I WOULD RATHER NOT SEE THE BOARD GO AHEAD AND PUT ITS STAMP ON THIS TONIGHT TO WE HAVE HAD AN ADEQUATE EXCHANGE WITH DR. RODRIGUEZ.

SO THAT'S JUST MY INPUT FOR THIS EVENING. MR. M. CAMPBELL.

>> YEAH. LET ME CLARIFY. THERE ARE NO FORMAL FASHION TAXING THE COMMITTEE TO GO BACK AND REVISIT WITH DID BECAUSE I KNOW OUR HANDS ARE TIED FOR THIS YEAR AND I'M WILLING TO DO YOU KNOW HOW THIS PROCESS GO FORWARD? I'M JUST SAYING WE KNOW IT WAS DISCUSSED WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE NEXT TWO YEARS.

AND I SUGGEST WE LOOK BACK AT WHAT WE DO BEYOND THIS YEAR. I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY LEVERAGE THIS YEAR IN TERMS OF THE BOARD AND WE BASICALLY AT THE MERCY OF WHAT FRANKS ALLOW US TO DO. AND IN MY MIND I THINK I THINK WE GO ALONG WITH.

BUT WHAT WE HAVE BEFORE US AND DO THE CHECK OFF IS BASICALLY THE SAME THINGS EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE TANGIBLES AND THEN START A NEW IN TERMS OF DEVELOPING A SYSTEM THAT WE CAN

GUARANTEE MEETS OUR METRICS NEXT TIME. >> I'M ROBIN.

COULD YOU PLEASE POST THE DISPLAY THE MOTION THAT'S ON THE TABLE, MR. SHAQ.

>> I GUESS MY QUESTION THEN IS JUST DIRECTLY FOR DR. RAD MAYBE IT'S TIME TO RODRIGUEZ.

DO YOU AGREE? DO WE HAVE YOUR AGREEMENT ON THIS OF THE THE INSTRUMENT TWO THOUSAND NINETEEN TWENTY TWENTY SCHOOL YEAR THAT IS IN BROAD DOTTED MINUS THE MINUS THE ACADEMIC METRICS I GOT FOR MY COMFORT LEVEL AND I NEED TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO GIVE HER DIFFERENT EVALUATION FOR YOU DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT IN SUBSEQUENT YEARS I WON'T BE HERE FOR SUBSEQUENT YEARS BUT IT'S IT'S IT'S MUCH MORE SUBJECTIVE PERHAPS AND SO I NEED TO UNDERSTAND YOUR COMFORT LEVEL. I MEAN YOU KNOW I UNDERSTAND WHY THE COMMITTEE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO METRICS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE NO METRICS THIS YEAR. SO SO I'M COMFORTABLE WITH THE NINETEEN TWENTY EVALUATION THAT THEY'VE PUT FORTH HERE WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE ONE THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH FROM

BEFORE MINUS THE METRICS SO WELL HERE. >> THANK YOU.

IT'S ROBIN SINCE YOU HAVE NOT SPOKEN. YES I I WOULD WOULD LIKE TO GO FORWARD WITH THIS 1 4 4 THIS YEAR 2019 20 SCHOOL YEAR AND THE ONES THAT WE PUT FORWARD FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR HAD AN ASTERISK NEXT TO THEM ABOUT DEPENDENT UPON WHAT DATA IS AVAILABLE. AND I AGREE WITH NOW I THINK THAT AS WE PROGRESSED INTO THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO START THINKING WHAT OTHER TYPES OF DATA MIGHT WE COULD COLLECT? WHAT OTHER KIND OF ACADEMIC DATA MIGHT WE WE COLLECT? I KNOW THAT THE STATE I PARTICIPATED IN THIS SURVEY I DON'T KNOW WHERE CAME FROM ASKING ABOUT WHETHER WE SHOULD HAVE STATE TESTING NEXT YEAR. YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT NOT HAVING STATE TESTING AGAIN NEXT YEAR. SO IF THAT'S THE CASE, YOU KNOW, WE NEED TO LOOK DEVELOPING SOMETHING IN CONJUNCTURE WITH DR. STRADA OLSEN.

AND DR. BRADLEY AND DR. RODRIGUEZ, HOW ARE WE GOING TO MEASURE THE GROWTH OF OUR

[00:45:01]

AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE SO RELIANT ON THAT THAT TYPE OF DATA THAT WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST. SO IF I THINK THAT THE OTHER OF THE FOLLOWING YEARS ARE ONES THAT ALREADY HAD ASTERIX AND CERTAINLY WE COULD GO BACK IN AND LOOK AT THOSE BUT THAT'S SO THAT'S MY INPUT. MR. EARL CAMPBELL. YES.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE REPORT COMES OUT EVERY DAY.

I HAVE ABOUT THE VIRUS AND IT'S NOT GOING DOWN MAYBE AS MANY OF US THINKING MAYBE NOW WHEN BEAUFORT COUNTY HAS SOME DAYS WE 40 NEW CASES, SOME DAYS WE HAVE 60 SOME DAYS WE GO DOWN TO 30 AND IT GOES BACK UP AND I DON'T THINK ANYTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND OCTOBER. SO I THINK WE NEED TO GO AHEAD AND DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO WITH

WHAT THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS. THANK YOU, MR. DALLY. >> HIGHWAY AND MR. SCHMIDT'S MOTION. WHY MOVE THAT? THE TOPIC OF THIS YEAR EVALUATION INSTRUMENT BE VOTED ON TONIGHT AND THE TOPIC OF THE NEXT YEAR EVALUATION INSTRUMENT

BE POSTPONED UNTIL THE FIRST MEETING IN NOVEMBER? >> YOU WANT TO TYPE THAT INTO THE CHAT? I'M JOHN. I'M MARK ADLER.

>> I THINK I HAVE IT. I KNOW THAT THE TOPIC OF THIS YEAR'S EVALUATION ME TONIGHT WHEN LET LET ROBIN READ IT BACK TO YOU IS TO BE SURE SHE'S GOT IT CORRECT.

I KNOW THAT THE TOPIC OF THIS YEAR'S EVALUATION BE VOTED ON TONIGHT AND THE TOPIC OF NEXT

YEAR'S EVALUATION BE VOTED ON SEPTEMBER 15. >> NO.

OK, NOVEMBER WAS OK. >> TO BE VOTED ON IN NOVEMBER ON THAT WAS THE FIRST MEETING I BELIEVE YOU SAID. WELL I THOUGHT YOU SAID DISCUSS DISCUSS IT DISCUSSED ON WOULDN'T IT. YEAH. MADAM CHAIR CAN I EXPLAIN WHY I MADE THAT AMENDMENT? YES YOU CAN. OKAY.

SECOND THE MOTION I'M SORRY MR. EARL CAMPBELL GOT IT. I'LL PUT IT UP TO MAKE SURE.

THANK YOU. THE REASON I DON'T WANT TO KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD ON THIS AS AN INSTRUMENT IS BECAUSE WE'VE ALREADY USED IT. WE USED IT LAST YEAR.

THERE'S NO LEARNING CURVE WITH THAT. WE'RE GOING TO GET THE EVALUATION DONE. IF WE IF WE POSTPONE THE DISCUSSION UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF SEPTEMBER, WE'LL GET THE DOCUMENTS THREE OR FOUR DAYS BEFORE THE EVALUATION IS DUE AND WE'LL BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THAT. LET'S GET THIS EVALUATION NAILED AND THEN WE CAN HAVE MORE FROM PROBLEMATIC AND AND COMPLETE DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT TO DO WHEN THE FUTURE IN THE FUTURE. BUT LET'S GET THIS AT THEN TO GET THIS DONE AND OUT OF THE WAY. WE ALL KNOW WHAT IT IS.

WE ALL USED IT LAST YEAR. >> MR. STRANGER. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I WOULD JUST MAKE ONE SUGGESTION TO THAT MOTION. I AGREE WITH MR. DOWLING COMPLETELY. BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE TWENTY ONE EVALUATION.

WE ALSO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT 21 22 BECAUSE THAT IS ALSO DUE BY THE END OF OCTOBER.

>> BREAKING UP CAN YOU HEAR ME AT THIS TIME, MR. SCRIBNER? I WOULD JUST SUGGEST WE ADD TO MR. DOWNEY'S MOTION SUBSEQUENT EVALUATIONS AS OPPOSED TO NEXT YEAR'S EVALUATION WHICH IS

SATISFIED THAT WE'RE EXPANDING. >> SO BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DEAL WITH BOTH THOSE YEAH.

THE 20 21 AND THE 21 22 BECAUSE WE ARE OBLIGATED TO HAVE THAT 21 22 IN PLACE BEFORE DR.

RODRIGUES DEVELOPS HIS BUDGET. >> SO WE HAVE TO DO BOTH OF THOSE SUBSEQUENT GOES WHERE IN THE TOPIC OF NEXT YEAR'S EVALUATION. CORRECT.

YES. SO I WOULD SAY SUBSEQUENT YEARS EVALUATION IN PLACE STRIKE NEXT YEAR AND CERTAINLY SUBSEQUENT YEARS IS JUST NOT I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT WE'VE CHANGED A

[00:50:16]

MOTION. >> BUT HERE HERE HERE AGAIN, I FEEL THAT WE'RE WE'RE MAKING DECISIONS THAT NOT WITHIN OUR BALLPARK. OUR POLICY IS BECAUSE WE'RE DISCUSSING SOMETHING THAT GIG OUR MARGIN ON OUR LAST LOOK GOOD YESTERDAY EVENING AND THAT'S NOT ACCORDING TO OUR BOARD POLICIES. SO THAT THAT REALLY CONCERNS I MUST PUT THAT OUT THERE FOR MY COLLEAGUES TO THINK ABOUT BECAUSE LEADERSHIP STARTS AT THE TOP AND WHERE WE'RE TAKING ACTION ON SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN PUT ON OUR AGENDA AS OF LATE YESTERDAY EVENING. THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME. MOVING FORWARD.

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE READY TO VOTE ON THE MOTION.

>> MR. STRIP AND MR. SMITH, I THINK YOUR HANDS NEED TO GO DOWN.

I'M SORRY. ELECTRONIC HANDSET THAT VOTING IS NOW OPEN.

YES. >> YES. AS YOU MR. MELVIN CAMPBELL I

DON'T SEE HOW I CAN VOTE FOR ANY OF YES. >> IF YOU CAN.

I CAN HEAR YOU. DR. WHAT? YEAH.

>> IT WAS FUNNY BECAUSE I. IT POPPED AWAY LIKE I MADE TO VOTE YES.

OK, MIGHT HAVE TO REFRESH BUT WAS DEVELOPING RIGHT. SO THE MOTION CARRIES 10 1 WITH MR. SMITH VOTING NO. SINCE THIS MOTION PASSED ON IS RIGHT RIGHT NOW RIGHT.

>> JUST THERE THAT WAS TO HERE. OK. YES.

SO THIS MOTION CARRIED 10 1 MR. SMITH VOTING NO. >> AND CAN YOU JUST PUT HIS MOTION MR. SMITH'S MOTION UP BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S NULL AND VOID.

NOW GIVEN THAT THIS PASSED, JUST LET'S BE SURE SEE LET'S SEE IF IT COMES.

YEAH. OK. >> SO WE HAD A SUBSTITUTE

MOTION THAT PASSED. >> SO THAT GOES AWAY. ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER MOTION OR OR ACTION? MR. STRIP GINGER AND YOUR

COMMITTEE REMEMBERS THE RESULT OF OUR COMMITTEE'S WORK. >> OK, MISS ROE BY THE LAST MOTION THAT WE HAD SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO VOTE. I'M I'M THIS YEAR DO WE HAVE TO ACTUALLY VOTE ON IT NOW SAY THAT WE ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION I MOVE THAT.

YES, THAT WOULD BE SMART. >> OK. ALL RIGHT.

SO I MOVE THAT WE ACCEPT THE AD HOC RESULTS COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION TO EXECUTE THE TWENTY NINE TEEN 20 TWENTY SUPERINTENDENTS EVALUATION AS PRESENTED IN THE CIRCUIT.

>> MR. SCRIBNER OK. AND OKATIE A SECOND TAKE A SECOND.

AND ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS MOTION MR. SCHECK? >> DR. RIGHT.

>> BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'VE COVERED ALL CONTRACTUAL REFERENCES HERE FOR YOU THAT YOU'RE A GOOD VERBAL AGREEMENT THIS EVENING FOR THIS MODIFIED EVALUATION INSTRUMENT

MEET ALL LEGAL REQUIREMENTS. >> SO WHAT I CAN ANSWER TO YOU IS THAT I I AGREED TO THIS

MODIFIED AGREEMENT. >> YOU KNOW ANYTHING SPECIFIC TO LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? I'M YOU KNOW, I CAN'T ANSWER BUT I CAN ANSWER THAT I AGREE WITH THIS UPFRONT BECAUSE THE LAST TIME WE WE HAD IN THE VIOLATION FOR YOU IT WAS YOUR 90 DAY EVALUATION YOU WERE, YOU KNOW, BRAND NEW AT THAT JUNCTURE SAID THIS IS A LITTLE MORE SIGNIFICANT MR. SMITH, JUST TO PIGGYBACK OFF WITH MRS. OR SYKES QUESTION OR BE USEFUL

[00:55:06]

FOR CLARIFICATION. >> WELL, WE HAD THIS AGREEMENT IN WRITING.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING, SIR. I MEAN A YOU KNOW I DON'T

UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING BASED BASICALLY. >> YOU SAY YOU'RE SAYING THAT YOU DO AGREE BUT I'M ASKING YOU ARE YOU KNOW, JUST TO BE ADMISSION THAT NOW THAT WE ARE NOT IN VIOLATION OF YOUR CONTRACT BY CHANGING THE RECOMMENDATION INSTRUMENT? I MY MY QUESTION IS WILL YOU PUT IT IN WRITING THAT YOU'RE FINE WITH THE CHANGES THAT THAT

WE'RE MAKING TONIGHT? >> IF YOU'RE GOING TO ASK ME TO PUT IT IN WRITING I MEAN I'M NOT I'M NOT CERTAIN OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF IT. I MEAN I'VE SHARED WITH YOU THAT I'M IN AGREEMENT WITH IT. IT'S NOT A VIDEO RECORDING. IT'S NOT A PUBLIC INSTRUMENT HERE. I THINK THAT SUFFICES FOR YOU AND I DO I DO UNDERSTAND THAT.

>> HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS AND IT WAS NOT IN BLACK AND WHITE AND IT DOES IT DOESN'T MATTER AT THE SAME TIME. I MEAN I WOULD JUST SAY MR. SMITH AT THE SAME TIME IF IF THAT'S WHAT YOU KNOW I WAS ALSO TAUGHT THAT IF YOU'RE GOING TO PUT SOMETHING IN WRITING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A LEGAL COUNSEL REVIEW IT. SO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO, THEN I HAVE TO SEND IT TO A LEGAL COUNSEL TO REVIEW AND I'M NO JUSTICE AND I

RESPECT YOUR RIGHTS. >> WELL, THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO THEN.

THEN I MEAN I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. >> I WOULD JUST SAY THAT THEN AS A BOARD THAT THAT THAT WOULD BE WHAT YOU DIRECT ME TO DO IF THAT'S WHAT YOU ALL WANT.

IF YOU THINK MY MY ACCEPTANCE OF IT TO SUFFICES THEN I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN I'M SURE WE HAVE THE CARDS TO WEIGH IN ON THIS. IF IF THAT RULING IF HE DID MY AUTOMATIC I CAN ALSO BEFORE SHE WEIGHS IN JUST SAY FROM HAVING REVIEWED HIS EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO WHEN WE STARTED DISCUSSING THIS AS I RECALL THE WORK SESSION IT

DOESN'T REQUIRE A TEST REQUIRES THAT HE AGREES TO IT. >> THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THAT.

IT HAS TO BE PUT IN WRITING, MISS. AND MS. CARTLEDGE, SHE MAY I'M NOT SURE HOW FAMILIAR SHE IS WITH HIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT THE ATTORNEY FOR THAT EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. BUT MISS CARTLEDGE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS DISCUSSION OF MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD? I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE NEGOTIATION OF DR. RODRIGUEZ AGREEMENT WITH THE BOARD AND ACTUALLY I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF IT. I WOULD BE GLAD TO LOOK AT IT.

HOWEVER, DR. DRIGGERS HAS GIVEN YOU HIS WORD THAT HE IS FINE WITH THE AMENDMENT TO HIS EVALUATION TOO SO YOU CAN HONOR HIS WORD. IT'S WHATEVER THE BOARD

DIRECTS. MR. DISTRIBUTOR. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I WOULD ASK THAT THE MINUTES SHOW THE DR. RODRIGUEZ AGREED. SO WE WOULD HAVE IT IN WRITING . I THINK THAT MIGHT SATISFY. I UNDERSTAND, SIR.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT MR. SMITH'S SAYING. THERE'S VALIDITY TO HIS POINT.

BUT THE MINUTES I THINK WILL SERVE SERVE THAT FUNCTION. >> THE MINUTES REFLECT WHAT YOU SAID. YES. WHEN WE WHEN WE DID THIS THE FIRST TIME DR. MARCUS, DID WE HAVE SOMETHING IN WRITING THAT HE ACCEPTED THE EVALUATION INSTRUMENT THE FIRST TIME? I DON'T RECALL THAT WE HAD ANYTHING IN WRITING.

DID DR. RODRIGUEZ KNOW? I DON'T BELIEVE SO. >> MR. DOWLING GAVE IT BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH. I BELIEVE TO I BELIEVE THAT A SENTENCE IN THE MINUTES WHICH WE WILL PROVE THAT DR. RODRIGUEZ APPROVED TO APPROVE IT APPROVES OF THE UPPER THE COMMITTEE AND THE BOARD'S ACTION. I THINK THAT WILL BE MORE THAN THAT. THE OFFICIAL STATE RECORD. I AGREE WITH YOU.

I AGREE. MR. AND MRS. RUBAIE AND I HATE TO SAY THIS BUT I DON'T THINK THAT TWO WRONGS MAKE IT RIGHT. YOU KNOW, UPON BEING BOARD MEMBERS IT IS OUR JOB TO BE GOOD STEWARDS TO BECOME BETTER AT OUR JOB. IF WE HAVE HAD A HICCUP THE FIRST TIME AND WE'VE BEEN. WE'VE BEEN GIVEN GRACE AND MERCY TO CORRECT.

I JUST THINK THAT WE SHOULD IN THE NEAR FUTURE. SO THANK YOU TO MR. SMITH.

>> I WOULD SAY THAT IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION RIGHT NOW. IF YOU'RE NOT EMOTIONAL MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

OH YES SIR. >> HEY, THANKS. SORRY.

LET ME DO THAT AFTER IF HE WANTS. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

ALL RIGHT. MR. SMITH, COULD YOU PUT YOUR HAND BACK DOWN?

THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE READY FOR VOTING IS

[01:00:04]

OPEN. >> YES. IS ROUTE MELVINS YOURS WAS YES . HE SHOWED UP DR. QUADS? YES.

OK, THANK YOU. I'M LOGGING BACK IN. SEE IF THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

>> MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY ELEVEN 0. ALL RIGHT, MR. SMITH, YOU WANT TO MAKE A MOTION? WHAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT PREVIOUSLY OR ARE YOU GOOD NOW

I'M SURE. >> AS LONG AS WHAT MR. SCRIBBLERS HAS SAID.

AS YOU SAID IS THAT THE THE NOTES WILL REFLECTMENT THAT I'MI OR I I'M ALL RIGHT WITH THAT.

OTHER THAN THAT I'M I'M DONE I'M DONE WITH THE SUBJECT SOMEWHAT WITH THIS TOPIC.

[Committee Reports: Academic Committee Recommended motion to approve revised Committee Scope]

THANK YOU. >> YOU'RE WATCHING NOW NOW DOWN TO THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE REPORT. MISS TRICIA FREDERICK. THANK YOU, DR. WOODS.

TONIGHT THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE WOULD LIKE TO BRING FORWARD TO THE BOARD A RECOMMENDATION FOR A REVISED SCOPE. WE HAVE WORKED ON THIS SCOPE SINCE WE BROUGHT IT TO YOU LAST TIME AND THERE WAS SOME OBJECTION. SO WE HAVE REWORKED IT.

WE WORKED ON IT ON JULY 15TH AND WE WORKED ON IT AGAIN ON AUGUST 26.

SO TONIGHT WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING FORWARD FOR THE FULL BOARD'S APPROVAL OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE SCOPE OF WORK. AND THAT SCOPE OF WORK.

I HAVE IT IN A FORM OF EMOTION IS THAT I MOVE THE ACADEMICS, ACADEMIC COMMITTEES, CURRENT SCOPE WORK BE REVISED TO THE SCOPE OF WORK THAT FOCUSES ON THE PS 1 6 OTHER TOPS TOPICS AS ASSIGNED BY THE CHAIR OR BOARD . I SECOND THAT WAS KATHY.

OK THANK YOU. MS. FREDERIC MADE THE MOTION KATHY ROBOT SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? MR. STRANGER RIBAUT I'M SURE.

I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE CHANGE IT TO OTHER TOPICS AS ASSIGNED BY THE BOARD.

AND ELIMINATE ASSIGNED BY THE CHAIR. I A MOVE THAT WE WOULD AMEND IT TO ELIMINATE STRIKE THE WORDS BY THE CHAIR HERE OR SO THAT IT READS OTHER TOPICS AS ASSIGNED

BY THE BOARD. >> YES KAREN OR THIS IS ADDED AMENDMENT I'LL SECOND FOR

DISCUSSION OF THAT LESSON AMENDMENT. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> SO DID YOU HEAR THAT ROBIN GIVING GETTING THERE? >> OK, I KNOW.

ALL RIGHT MISS. >> OR CHECK. DAVID IS DEAD IN CONFLICT WITH ANYTHING IN OUR POLICIES. DOESN'T IT SAY THE CHAIR CAN ASSIGN DON'T WE HAVE THAT'S ALL THAT SAYS THAT WE WE HAVE A POLICY THAT SAYS THE CHAIR ASSIGNS TASKS TO THE COMMITTEE.

>> YEAH, OH YEAH. IF WE GO THROUGH IT ON THURSDAY AND THAT'S IN THERE THEN WE CAN

TALK ABOUT IT. >> OKAY. WELL IT'S CERTAINLY FAIR.

THANK YOU. I THINK I REMEMBERED SOME THING YOU THAT I DO.

ANOTHER QUESTION IF I MAY. THAT'S MY HAND WAS UP FOR THAT MRS. FREDERIC CHECHESSEE.

YES, MA'AM. IS THIS IS THIS YOUR ENTIRE SCALP OR IS THIS IN ADDITION TO

YOUR SCOPE? >> THIS IS THE ENTIRE SCOPE. >> OKAY, SO CAN YOU DEFINE FOR EVERYONE WHAT P E 1 P IS 6 OR 2 THAT W O P 1 HAS ELEVEN I BELIEVE DIFFERENT AREAS TO IT

AND THEY ARE ALL INVOLVED WITH THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM. >> SO AGAIN THERE ARE IT'S BROKEN OUT INTO 11 DIFFERENT SUBSETS ACTIONS HAVING TO DO WITH INSTRUCTION P SIX IS BROKEN OUT IN TWO I BELIEVE THERE ARE SIX. NO I'M SORRY.

THERE ARE EIGHT AND P SIX IS THE TREATMENT OF STUDENTS IN THE DISCIPLINE AND OUR CURRENT WORK PLAN INDICATES THAT THESE TWO AREAS ARE PRESENTED BY THE CHIEF INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES

OFFICER OR UNDER THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE. >> SO IT'S AN ALIGNMENT WITH

OUR CURRENT WORK PLAN. OK. >> THANK YOU MISFIT RICK.

[01:05:03]

>> BUT OK, I CAN. I'VE ALREADY FOUND IT. IT'S DEFINITELY IN OUR CURRENT POLICY. IT'S THREE POINT TWO ROMAN NUMERAL 9 LETTER B IS IN BABY.

I THOUGHT IT WAS SO THAT THIS WAS MR. STRAUB INJURE IF WE COULD LEAVE THE MOTION AS

SUGGESTED BECAUSE IT WAS IN POLICY. >> I READ THAT SECTION.

>> IT SAYS ITEMS MAY BE ASSIGNED TO A COMMITTEE BY THE BOARD CHAIR AND THIS IS UNDER THREE POINT TWO WHICH IS OUR BOARD COMMITTEE. SO THIS IS OUR CURRENT POLICY,

THIS DISTRIBUTOR. >> YOU WANT TO RESPOND? >> WELL, I WOULD JUST SUGGEST THAT MY AMENDMENT IS THAT THE POLICY IS CHANGED BY THIS MOTION.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO DISCUSS THIS THE VERY FIRST THING WE'RE DOING DISCUSSED ON THURSDAY IS THE CHAIRS THING AND I GUESS I'M ANTICIPATING AN ACTION THERE AND WE COULD CERTAINLY PUT THAT BACK IN THEN HAVE A DISCUSSION ON THURSDAY AND THEN REVISIT IT.

BUT MY MY MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE POLICY SAYS.

MY PREFERENCE WOULD BE THAT THINGS ARE NOT ASSIGNED BY THE CHAIR, THAT ALL THINGS ARE ASSIGNED BY THE BOARD. THAT'S SO THAT'S WHY I SUGGESTED THIS AMENDMENT

REGARDLESS WHAT OUR CURRENT POLICY SAYS. >> OKAY.

>> RIGHT HERE IN MR. LET'S SAY I THINK MR. DARLING'S NEXT.

I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED THAT WE FURNISH TO BE ONE OR SIX BEFORE BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON WHETHER THERE SHOULD BE THE SCOPE OF THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE AND I MOVE THAT TO THIS TOPIC.

POSTPONE UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER 15 MEETING SO THAT WE CAN BE ISSUED THOSE PIECES AND SEE IF THAT'S WHAT WE WANT THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE TO DO. SECONDED.

OK. >> SEMESTERS DARLING MADE A MOTION TO POST PONE THIS.

THIS DISCUSSION UNTIL THE SEPTEMBER 15TH MEETING AND MR. WILLIAMS HAS SECOND THAT MOTION. SO NOW CAN YOU PUT THAT MOTION UP ON MR. MR. SMITH MOUNTAIN?

>> WHY DO YOU ACTUALLY WHY YOU CALLED ON ME? MY QUESTION IS REALLY WHEN WHEN THESE MOTIONS ARE BEING AMENDED ,DO WE SHOOT? DO WE NOT STILL HAVE TO VOTE ON THESE ON THESE MOTIONS? BECAUSE OF THIS NO AMENDMENT. I MEAN A FRIENDLY FRIEND, A FRIEND, A MEMBER BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE MOSTLY STILL JUST SITTING OUT THERE.

COULD YOU KNOW SO WE HAVE TO VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT FIRST AND THEN WE GO BACK TO VOTE ON THE

ORIGINAL MOTION. >> BUT SOMETIMES THE ORIGINAL MOTION NO LONGER STAND LIKE YOURS DIDN'T BECAUSE WE ALREADY POSTPONE OR WE DECIDED WE WERE GOING TO VOTE ON THE THE CURRENT EVALUATION TOOL AND POSTPONE THE SUBSEQUENT TOOLS TO ANOTHER MEETING.

RIGHT. >> BUT RIGHT NOW I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS AMENDMENT BECAUSE MISSES IF MY MIND WAS UP BECAUSE THIS IS A FEDERAL CASE MADE AN ADDITION OR MADE IN A MODE EMOTION AND THEN ALSO MR. SCRIBNER AMENDED THAT MOTION AND THEN BEHIND THAT MR. DOWLING AMENDED THAT MOTION. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE AND I THINK THAT'S WHERE WE ARE AND YOU CAN POSTPONE SO WE'LL JUST GO BACK IN ORDER OF THE OF THE WAY THE

MOTIONS CAME FORWARD. >> OK. THANK YOU.

I'M JUST LOOKING TO YOUR SHIP TO GIVE GIVE US SOME UNDERSTANDING.

OK. MR. MR. SCHECK? WELL, I'M GOING TO SUPPORT THE

COURT'S NESS. >> IT'LL GIVE US AN OPPORTUNITY AS MR. SHEPARD, YOUR SAID, TO LOOK AT OUR POLICIES AND NOT HAVING THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE PERHAPS BASED ON THE WILL OF THE BOARD GO BACK AND A HALF YEAR. IT IF THERE IS SCOPE ONCE AGAIN SURVIVALS PUT THIS I THINK MR. DOWLING AND MR. SMITH YOUR HANDS NEED TO GO BACK DOWN

[01:10:01]

OK. MR. DRAKE. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND OUR FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS, MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS THAT WE ALL HAVE COPIES OF THE PIECE AND THAT THIS IS THE PIECE ARE DOCUMENTS THAT WE HAVE IN ONLINE.

WE HAVE THEM IN PAPER COPY AND ALSO TO REMIND MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS THAT THIS SCOPE IS THE P E TO INCLUDED IN OUR ORIGINAL SCOPE P E 1 AND PUT U 6 AND THEY'RE NOW JUST THIS SCOPE IS WHITTLED DOWN TO JUST THOSE PIECES. SO IT'S NOTHING IT'S NOTHING NEW THAT THE ACADEMIC COMMITTEE WILL BE LOOKING AT. IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE

ALREADY BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST ALMOST TWO YEARS, MR. DARLING. >> WELL, MY ANSWER TO THAT IS THAT WE HOPEFULLY BEING LIFELONG LEARNERS NO MORE NOW THAN WE DID TWO YEARS AGO AND WE SHOULD BE. I'M NOT A RESEARCHER SO I WANT TO I WANT WHAT I'M GOING TO BE VOTING ON DELIVERED TO ME. THE OTHER THING I'D POINT OUT I'D LIKE TO MAKE IS THAT I THINK IT WAS ESTABLISHED WITH THE PARLIAMENTARIAN AT WORKSHOP THEY REDUCE ACTUALLY NO SUCH THING AS A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT AND AN AMENDMENT IS AN AMENDMENT AS AN AMENDMENT AND THAT WE AS YOU SAID, MRS. MADAM CHAIR, WE DEAL WITH THE MOST CURRENT ONE FOREST AND THEN WORK OUR WAY BACK. BUT ANYWAY, HEY, WE WE HAVE TO DO ENOUGH RESEARCH.

SO IF YOU TELL ME YOU WANT ME TO VOTE TO LET YOU DO P 1 GIVE ME T ONE TO LOOK AT.

THAT'S THE PURPOSE OF MY AMENDMENT. >> YEAH I'LL SUPPORT THE MOTION THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE ON THE TABLE. I HAVE I TAKE ISSUE WITH THE FACT THAT THE OTHER AMENDMENT WAS TO REMOVE THE CHAIR FROM ASSIGNING TOPICS TO THE COMMITTEE AND I THINK TO DO THAT IT'S NOT REALLY AN EMERGENCY AND IT WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN PRINTED ON THE AGENDA AHEAD OF TIME. AND I DON'T REALLY CHANGE POLICY IN BASICALLY ONE READING I BELIEVE WOULD TAKE A NOTIFICATION PRIOR NOTIFICATION A TWO THIRDS VOTE. SO I WOULD GO FOR THIS BECAUSE THEN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE POLICY DISCUSSION AS YOU SAID, DAVID, ON SEPTEMBER 3RD. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YES. YES, MR. SMITH. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED BECAUSE I SIT ON MY COMPUTER. LET'S TALK ABOUT PROBLEMS ABOUT ME ABOUT POLICIES.

ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE NEW POLICY OR THE OLD POLICIES? WHICH POLICIES ARE WE ACTUALLY

USING OLD? >> BECAUSE WE'RE STILL IN OUR FIRST.

WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE FIRST READING OF THE NEW POLICY. WE'RE ONLY LIKE TO PAGE 20 OF SIXTY NINE OR WHATEVER WAS IN EXISTENCE NOW IS WHAT WE HAVE ON THE COUNTY.

WELL IT'S ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE THAT POLICY. THAT'S RIGHT.

>> TONY JONES THAT'S BECAUSE THE TIMES WERE REVERTING TO NEW POLICIES AS WELL.

SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WITH THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION WHICH POLICY WHERE WE ACTUALLY ARE LOOKING INTO TO MAKE THIS DECISION. THANK YOU, MR. DOWLING.

YOUR HAND REMAINS UP. THANK YOU. NOT ANYMORE.

THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND VOTE ON THIS AMENDMENT. PLEASE OPEN BANK. YES, YES.

>> YES. THE MOTION CARRIES NINE TO THE TWO NO'S MISFITS RICH AND KATHY WOODBINE. SO ROBIN, CAN YOU NOW GO BACK TO THE AMENDMENT THAT WAS JUST PRIOR TO THIS AND JUST BE SURE THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO ADDRESS IT TRYING TO GET IT UP.

>> OK. THANK YOU. OK.

IT WAS THE REMOVING STRIKING THE CHAIR. SO THAT GOES AWAY SINCE WE'RE NOW POSTPONING IT TO SEPTEMBER 15TH AND THE ONE PRIOR TO THIS WAS THE ONE THAT HAD BOARD CHAIR AND BOARD. SO THAT ALSO GOES AWAY. ALL RIGHT.

>> MISS GOODRICH, DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION TO REPORT ?

[01:15:10]

>> NO, MA'AM. >> ALL RIGHT. THAT CONCLUDES YOUR COMMITTEE REPORT. YES, THANK YOU. WE'RE NOW DOWN TO THE

SUPERINTENDENTS REPORT. DR. RODRIGUEZ, THANK YOU. >> JUST MAKE SURE OK, OK.

THANK YOU. AND OUR FIRST ITEM THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT THIS

[Goal #3 Fiscal Responsibility • Debt Service Millage Update]

SO AS YOU AS A RESULT OF THAT WITH WORK FROM OUR OF OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR AND BOND COUNCIL AND FINANCING TEAM IN GENERAL, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A TAX RATE OF THIRTY SIX POINT SIX MILS ON DEBT SERVICE WOULD WOULD BE THE AMOUNT NEEDED OR REQUIRED TO HONOR THE MILLAGE TO PAY OFF THE PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYMENTS. SO THAT MILLAGE RATE REQUEST WAS SENT OVER TO THE COUNTY AUDITOR'S OFFICE ON JUNE 2ND AND AN UPDATE IS THAT AS OF AUGUST 24TH WE RECEIVED A RESPONSE AND THE RATE HAS BEEN SET AT THIRTY SIX POINT THREE MILES A THIRD OF A MIL LOWER THE ADJUSTMENT. IT REPRESENTS ABOUT A LITTLE MORE THAN A HALF MILLION DOLLARS AND IT IS IT IS A RELATIVELY MINIMAL.

IN REDUCTION IN THE MILLAGE IT REPRESENTS ABOUT EIGHT TENTHS OF A PERCENT OF OUR TOTAL BOND PROGRAM. OUR TOTAL BOND PROGRAMS ABOUT 70 MILLION DOLLARS.

SO REALLY IN CONCLUSION I'M SATISFIED THAT THIS RATE WILL BE ABLE TO COVER THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE DISTRICT AND THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO ABSORB THAT REDUCTION IN THE DEBT SERVICE FUND BALANCE. WE WILL KNOW MORE IN THE MARCH TIMEFRAME AS TAX REVENUES ARE RECEIVED THROUGH DECEMBER JANUARY AND WE'LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT THE COLLECTIONS WILL BE AT THAT TIME AND SO THAT CONCLUDES MY UPDATE. I'LL BE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY

QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE THERE BEING NONE. >> DR. RODRIGUEZ WE CAN'T GO TO

THE NEXT TOPIC. >> THANK YOU. THE NEXT COMPONENT IS THE OVER

[Superintendent’s Report: COVID – 19 “Coronavirus” Update]

THREE KEY POINTS FROM THAT DATA ARE THE FOLLOWING THAT AS A COUNTY WE DROPPED TO THE MEDIUM CATEGORY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE METRICS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED.

OUR INFECTION RATE PER 100000 DROPPED TO THE ONE NINETY NINE POINT NINE WHICH IS JUST BARELY BELOW THE TWO HUNDRED AND ONE THAT IS THE HIGH DESIGNATION. THE PERCENT POSITIVE RATE IS THIRTEEN POINT NINE WHICH IS STILL IN THE HIGH CATEGORY. I'M EXCITED REALLY TO SEE THESE NUMBERS CONTINUING TO DROP AND HEADED IN THAT DIRECTION THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND IS CLEARLY AN IMPORTANT ONE FOR ALL OF US AS A COMMUNITY. WE'VE SEEN THE IMPACT AFTER MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND AND FOURTH OF JULY LABOR DAY WEEKEND IS UPON US AND WE'RE HOPEFUL THAT AS WE CELEBRATE OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND THAT WE WILL WEAR MASKS AND SOCIALLY DISTANCE TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF THE VIRUS ON OUR COMMUNITY. WE'RE ANXIOUS TO GET OUR STUDENTS BACK TO SCHOOL AND OUR HOPEFUL THAT WE CAN PRESERVE THE PROGRESS THAT HAS BEEN MADE

[01:20:02]

REGARDING LEAP WEEK. DR. BRADLEY SOREN THANK YOU. >> DR. RODRIGUEZ.

MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. GOOD EVENING TO YOU ALL.

AS A PART OF THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT THIS EVENING, I WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO UPDATE YOU ON LEAVE. YOU'LL REMEMBER THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THIS STATE MANDATED PROGRAM LAST WEEK AND REALLY FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS.

AS A REMINDER LEAP WAS INSTITUTED BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION REALLY AS AN EFFORT TO OFFSET ANY LEARNING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN LOST DURING LAST SPRING'S SHUT DOWN AND REALLY TO BETTER POSITION SCHOOLS TO SERVE STUDENTS.

AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS SCHOOL YEAR, ALTHOUGH OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS, THE PROGRAM WAS AIMED AT SERVING AT RISK HIGH NEED STUDENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE STATE PROVIDED VERY CLEAR GUIDANCE FOR THE KINDS OF ACTIVITIES THAT COULD AND SHOULD BE CONDUCTED DURING FLEET WEEK WHICH IF HONORED WOULD ENABLE DISTRICTS TO REIMBURSE TEACHERS FOR THEIR TIME. IF YOU'LL REMEMBER LEAVE WAS MANDATORY TO BE IMPLEMENTED.

BUT TEACHER PARTICIPATION WAS VOLUNTARY. I'M PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT EACH OF OUR ELEMENTARY AND KATE SCHOOLS WELCOMES STUDENTS AND STAFF INTO THEIR BUILDINGS LAST WEEK. ALTHOUGH WE ARE STILL COLLECTING FINAL DATA, WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT TRUE PLANS MULTIPLE ASSESSMENTS MOSTLY DIAGNOSTIC WERE GIVEN TO STUDENTS. WE HAD THE KRG WHICH IS THE KINDERGARTEN READINESS ASSESSMENT THAT WAS GIVEN A VARIETY OF MATH AND LAY EVALUATIONS WERE COMPLETED.

WE TESTED OVER 2000 STUDENTS ON THE MAP ASSESSMENT. WE CONDUCTED THE DIAL ASSESSMENT FOR PRE-K STUDENTS MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE STRONG PRELIMINARY DATA ON OUR YOUNGEST STUDENTS DIE OH BY THE WAY STANDS FOR DEVELOPMENTAL INDICATORS FOR ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING. A HOST OF SPECIAL EDUCATION EVALUATIONS WERE COMPLETED.

THERE WAS A CONTINUATION OBVIOUSLY OF DEVICE DEPLOYMENT .

AND OF COURSE SEVERAL HUNDRED OF OUR TEACHERS PARTICIPATED IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

AS THE SECOND LAYER TO OUR LEAD PROGRAM DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS NUMBER BUT AS I WAS TRYING TO CALCULATE THE FINAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT WE SERVED, I THINK THAT NUMBER IS SOMEWHERE JUST SOUTH OF A THOUSAND TOTAL STUDENTS. SO OBVIOUSLY THAT REPRESENTS A LITTLE BIT OVER A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN A THIRD OF OUR TOTAL STUDENT POPULATION FOR THE ENTIRE DISTRICT. SO THAT WAS ENCOURAGING. I THINK IT INDICATED A LOT OF THINGS THAT WERE REALLY ENCOURAGING AND PROMISING FOR US AS A DISTRICT FOR THE PURPOSE OF REIMBURSEMENT. OUR SCHOOLS WERE ASKED TO KEEP GOOD STRONG DATA ON THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT THEY SERVE, WHICH TEACHERS WORK WITH THOSE STUDENTS AND THE TIME COMMITMENTS THAT THEY ALL FULFILLED. AND WE WILL SUBMIT THAT DATA TO THE STATE NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 15TH. LASTLY, JUST FOR OUR OWN DISTRICT RECORD KEEPING, I PERSONALLY LAUNCHED A PERCEPTION SURVEY TO PRINCIPALS YESTERDAY TO COLLECT DATA ON THINGS THAT WERE IMPORTANT TO OUR EFFORTS TO FACILITATE AND MANAGE LEAP FROM THE DISTRICT PERSPECTIVE AND I THINK IT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO THIS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT SURE WHETHER OR NOT THE STATE WILL COMPEL TO IMPLEMENT LEAKED PROGRAMING NEXT YEAR. BUT IF THIS WAS BUT IF NOT IF THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT WE FELT LIKE WE WANTED TO APPROPRIATE MONEYS IN OUR BUDGET TO DO ON OUR OWN.

AT LEAST WE WOULD HAVE SOME DATA AND INFORMATION FROM THE PRINCIPALS WHO IMPLEMENTED EARLY. SO THE SURVEY CONSISTED REALLY JUST EIGHT QUESTIONS.

THEY WERE QUESTIONS LIKE HOW WOULD YOU RATE THE 20 20 WEEK PROGRAM? DID STAFF MEMBERS FIND VALUE IN THE OPPORTUNITY AND TO ENGAGE STUDENTS PRIOR TO THE START OF THE YEAR IN THE FUTURE WILL YOU BE BETTER POSITIONED TO SERVE STUDENTS THROUGH A CONTINUATION OF LEAP? HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE VALUE OF LEAD TO AT RISK STUDENTS? HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE VALUE OF LEAD FOR TEACHERS AND OR INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF? AND THEN A COUPLE OF OTHER QUESTIONS AROUND THE ABILITY TO IMPLEMENT AND ADHERE COVE AT 19 SAFETY PROTOCOLS. ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS RECEIVED FAVORABLE RESPONSES WHICH CONFIRMED A FEW THINGS FOR US. ONE THAT LEAD WAS A SUCCESS TOO THAT IT WAS RECEIVED FAVORABLY BY OUR TEACHERS AND PARENTS. AND 3 IT WAS A WORTHWHILE INVESTMENT OF TIME. SO AGAIN FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES ALL OF THE DATA THAT WE HAVE AND ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT WAS MADE ACCESSIBLE US.

[01:25:02]

SO I'LL PAUSE THERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS BUT THAT IS JUST A BRIEF SUMMARY OF LEAP FOR 2020.

>> MR. EARL CAMPBELL I GUESS THE STUDENTS THAT RICK PERRY IS GOING TO PICK UP ALL THE INFORMATION I MEAN DEVICES AT THE SCHOOL ARE THE THEY FORM OF WHAT IS THOUGHT TO BE TAUGHT IN AND AT THE TIME THEY WILL BE TAUGHT THIS BECAUSE SOME PAIRS OF SAME THEY WERE NOT.

>> WAS TOLD TO JUST GO ONLINE. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY. >> I'M SORRY.

ARE YOU ARE YOU REFERRING TO THIS? THE PARENTS OF FAMILIES THAT

WERE SPECIFICALLY INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN ELITE. >> YES.

>> SO WE SO WE GAVE OUR OUR SCHOOLS GUARDRAILS AND GUIDELINES.

WE TOLD THEM SPECIFICALLY THAT BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY COULD NOT SERVE ALL OF THE KIDS BECAUSE OF THE PROPORTION OF TEACHERS THAT WE HAD TO SIGN UP. AND THE FEAR THAT WE WOULD BE THAT WE WOULD HAVE MORE STUDENTS THAT WE COULD ACTUALLY ACCOMMODATE WHAT WE GAVE BROAD LATITUDE TO PRINCIPALS AND SCHOOLS TO DO WAS TO IDENTIFY BASED ON WHATEVER DATA THEY HAD ACCESSIBLE. WHICH OF THEIR STUDENTS WOULD BEST BENEFIT FROM COMING IN FOR LEAP? AND SO THEY ENGAGED IN STRATEGIC OUTREACH EFFORTS.

AND I'LL TELL YOU THAT THE STATE SPREADSHEET THAT WE ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT ON THE 15TH ACTUALLY REQUIRES US TO NOT ONLY DOCUMENT WHAT STUDENTS ACTUALLY PARTICIPATE IN BUT ALSO THE PARENTS OF FAMILIES THAT WE SPECIFICALLY INVITED. SO I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER THAT WE SERVICE ABOUT JUST SOUTH OF EIGHT THOUSAND STUDENTS.

I CANNOT SO YOU OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD HOW MANY WE ACTUALLY INVITE IT.

BUT I DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE THAT DATA. >> OK, WHAT ABOUT TURN DOES NOT INCLUDE SO THE STUDENTS THAT WERE NOT IN THE LEAST MOST OBVIOUSLY MOST OF THE ASSESSMENTS THAT WE GAVE ARE ASSESSMENTS THAT WE GAVE THAT WE GIVE DURING THE YEAR.

ANY WAY. SO THAT WILL BE A PART OF A MAJOR PART OF THE WORK THAT OUR SCHOOLS WILL BE DOING OVER THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF SCHOOL .

OK. >> MA MA THE QUESTION IS THIS. THERE IS A COMPREHENSION SO KIND OF THE REGULATORY HAS FUNDS FOR FREE AND SERVICE. HOW YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THAT?

>> I AM NOT PERSONAL. >> IT IS BASED IS BASED ON FAMILY SIZE ON A YEARLY INCOME.

AND MONTHLY INCOME. >> GOT IT. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THAT.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THE PLAN THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE.

IN TERMS OF OUR ABILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR PARENTS AND FAMILIES AND STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO INTERNET AND ALSO OBVIOUSLY A DEVICE. BUT IF WE FIND THAT AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS THAT WE HAVE NOT ADEQUATELY MET ALL OF ALL OF THOSE STUDENTS NEEDS WILL OBVIOUSLY SEARCH FAR AND WIDE FOR WHEN ANY OTHER ADDITIONAL SUPPORT OR RESOURCES THAT WE CAN. BUT I WILL TELL YOU IN UNCERTAIN TERMS WE FEEL REALLY

GOOD ABOUT WHERE WE RIGHT NOW. >> NOW WHAT ABOUT THE COULD STILL BE RUNNING THE BREAKFAST FOR LUNCH WHATEVER THEY'VE BEEN DOING IT CAN STILL BE DOING THAT.

>> THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY ASSERT . OK.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> YES, SIR. DAVID, STRIP IN HERE.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. MY QUESTION REALLY IS ON DR. RODRIGUEZ'S PART OF ON THE DIRECT METRICS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE DROPPED DOWN TO A MEDIUM.

WHAT EXACTLY IS GONNA BE THE TRIGGER FOR US TO MOVE OUT OF THE ALL VIRTUAL.

AND AND HOW WHAT'S THE LEAD TIME TO DO THAT? SO YEAH.

SO. SO YEAH, I THINK I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION.

SO THE LEAD TIME IS REALLY GOING TO BE ABOUT TWO WEEKS. RIGHT.

AND THEN ADDITIONALLY I THINK WHILE WE'VE MOVED INTO THAT MEDIUM CATEGORY WE'RE JUST

[01:30:01]

I JUST WANT MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE TRIGGER. YEAH BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE GOING TO BE QUESTIONING WHAT YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS IT WE'RE LOOKING ARE WE LOOKING AT THE OVERALL BE A MODERATE OR AS YOU JUST SAID IF WE HAVE ONE OF THOSE THAT'S HIGH IS THAT IS THAT GOING TO DELAY IT? AND THEN IS THERE LIKE TWO OR THREE WEEKS THAT WE EXPECT TO BE LOW? AND THEN ANOTHER TWO WEEKS TO ROLL IT? I'M TRYING TO GIVE EVERYBODY A SENSE THAT JUST TURN OUT A

SWITCH WE'RE GOING TO BE FLIP. >> NO, I MEAN WE WE WE NEED WE NEED SOME CONSISTENCY.

I THINK, YOU KNOW, WE DIDN'T MAKE THAT DECISION TO START VIRTUALLY JUST OFF OF ONE WEEK'S WORTH OF DATA. RIGHT. WE THERE WERE THERE WERE ABOUT FIVE OR SIX WEEKS OF CONTINUOUS INCREASES ON ON THAT METRIC. SO WE'RE WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT PERCENT POSITIVE IS CERTAINLY AN IMPORTANT ONE. AND THEN OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE WILL MEET WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION EVERY TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING THE OPENING

SCHOOL. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, MR. MELVIN CAMPBELL.

>> DR. BRADLEY LEE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. YOU SAY THAT? YES, COACH AND YOU OUT WITH 8000 STUDENTS. YES, SIR.

SO UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU PRESENTED EARLIER WHEN YOU HAD VERY LITTLE METRICS ON HOW YOU GOT TO SIDE WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL OR NOT, I ASSUME YOU'RE JUDGING A NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS AS A PARTNER OF REASON YOU YOU THE A HUGE SUCCESS.

>> MY QUESTION IS HOW DID THIS SERVE THE INTENT? AND THEN OUR ORIGINAL INTENT OF THE STATE'S DOLLARS AT IS THAT WE GET A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF TALENTED STUDENTS TO THAT A THOUSAND STUDENTS OR WE GET THE WRONG STUDENTS. YEAH, I THINK THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I THINK WE ACTUALLY WERE BETTER POSITIONED AS A DISTRICT TO BE RESPONSIVE TO THE GENERAL EXPECTATIONS OF LEAD PER THE STATE GUIDELINES BECAUSE WE SPECIFICALLY TARGETED STUDENT THAT OUR SCHOOLS KNEW WERE AT RISK OR IN OR IN HIGH NEED.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE KIND OF THE OUTLINE OF WHAT THE WHAT THE STATE PROVIDED FOR WHAT THE PURPOSE OF LEET WAS, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY ASKED SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO DO IS TO INVITE ALL STUDENTS WELL NOT ALL STUDENTS AT OUR DISTRICT ARE AT RISK OR HIGH NEED AND SO WHEN WE GOT RELIEF FROM THAT EXPECTATIONS I THINK THAT WE WERE BETTER POSITIONED AS A DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO REALLY HONOR THE SPIRIT OF WHAT LEAP WAS SUPPOSED TO DO WHICH WAS TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF HIGH RISK AND THE STUDENTS. AND SO BECAUSE WE SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFIED THOSE STUDENTS AND COMPEL THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE TO COME IN AT THE DISCRETION AND THE CHOICE OF THEIR FAMILIES. THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I HAILED IT AS A SUCCESS.

THE OTHER REASON WHY I PERSONALLY HAILED IT AS SUCCESS AND I'LL TELL YOU THERE WERE NO OBJECTIVE PERFORMANCE METRICS TO DETERMINE SUCCESS. I THINK OBVIOUSLY WHEN WE SUBMIT OUR DATA AND WE GET REIMBURSED FOR THE TIME SPENT BY OUR TEACHERS THEN THAT OBVIOUSLY WOULD BE A MEASURE OR A FUNCTION OF SUCCESS AS WELL. BUT THE OTHER IS THAT WE ARE TEACHERS PARTICIPATED AND GOT THE BENEFIT OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN SETTING OR AT A TIME THAT THEY ORDINARILY WOULD NOT. SO THEY HAD MUCH MORE LEAD TIME TO ENGAGE IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PREPARE THEMSELVES FOR THE YEAR IN A SPACE AND OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY OTHERWISE WOULDN'T HAVE. SO I OBVIOUSLY AM SPEAKING FOR MYSELF BASED ON SOME OF THOSE CONSIDERATIONS AS HAILING IT AS A SUCCESS.

AND WHEN WE HAD IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC IN A TIME WHERE WE SAID THAT WE WERE GOING TO START THE YEAR IN A VIRTUAL FORMAT ONLY THAT WE HAD ROUGHLY A THIRD OF OUR OVERALL STUDENTS COMING IN SOME OF WHOM HAVE SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL THIS YEAR IN A VIRTUAL FORMAT. THAT'S THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS RESPECTFULLY SIR THAT I CALLED OF SUCCESS. THAT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE NUMBER WAS BOTH THE STAFF, THE TEACHERS WHAT PERCENTAGE OF TEACHERS RESPONDED TO THIS? I MEAN YEAH, I DON'T WANT TO

GIVE THE WRONG NUMBER. >> I DO KNOW THAT WE HAVE THAT DATA.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT I THINK THE NUMBERS OF TEACHERS THAT WE HAVE PARTICIPATE EACH DAY

[01:35:03]

AND THEN I THINK ON THE THE LOWEST DAY WE HAD I DON'T KNOW SOMEWHERE AROUND FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT I WILL TELL YOU WE HAVE VERY ACCURATE DATA THAT ACTUALLY GOES BEYOND WHAT THE STATE ASKED US TO PRODUCE BECAUSE WE WANTED TO GET A GENERAL SENSE OF THE LEVEL OF INTEREST OF OUR TEACHERS IN

PARTICIPATING IN PD AND ALSO IN GETTING STUDENTS TO FREDERICK. >> THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.

DR. BRADLEY, WHAT DID WE LEARN FROM LEAP THAT'S GOING TO HELP US WHEN WE DO GO BACK FACE TO

FACE? >> YEAH, GREAT QUESTION. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WE LEARNED INFORMATION ABOUT OUR STUDENTS THAT WE NORMALLY WOULD BE DELAYED IN GETTING LATER ON HERE. SO MOST SCHOOLS OBVIOUSLY OVER THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS ARE FACILITATING PRE ASSESSMENTS OR DIAGNOSTICS ON THEIR YOUNG PEOPLE WHICH MEANS THAT THEY HAVE TO DELAY THE INTRODUCTION CONTENT TO THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE. THE INFORMATION THAT WE GOT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE FIRST OF ALL WAS WHEN THE SCHOOLS ARE ACTUALLY CRUNCHING THE DATA.

NUMBER ONE, IT TELLS THEM WHETHER OR NOT THERE WAS TRULY SOME LEARNING LOSS THAT OCCURRED DURING THE SHUTDOWN LAST YEAR WHICH OBVIOUSLY WOULD INFORM THEIR INSTRUCTIONAL PLANS GOING FORWARD. THEY GOT VERY SPECIFIC DATA ON SPECIFIC KIDS AS WELL.

AND SO WHEN YOU BEGIN TO SHARE THAT DATA OUT TO THEIR TEACHERS THAT INFORMS THEIR INTERVENTIONS, THEIR LEARNING PLANS, THEIR APPROACH TO TEACHING AND LEARNING AND THINGS OF THAT SORT. BUT TO YOUR QUESTION, IT ISN'T NECESSARILY DATA THAT WE WOULD NOT ORDINARILY RECEIVE AT SOME OTHER POINT DURING THE YEAR. IT'S JUST THAT WE GOT IT EARLY MUCH BETTER POSITIONS US TO MEET THOSE YOUNG PEOPLE'S NEEDS.

THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS. AND WHAT DID WE LEARN ABOUT THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT AND THE

INTERACTION OF FACE TO FACE? >> YEAH, I MEAN I THINK WHAT I'M SAYING THIS ANECDOTALLY I THINK THAT WHAT WE DID WAS WE CREATED A MEASURE OF COMFORT FOR OUR FAMILIES THAT SCHOOLS ARE TAKE UNDER THE DISTRICT QUITE FRANKLY NO ONE HAS EQUIPPED OUR SCHOOLS WITH THE APPROPRIATE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SO THAT WHENEVER WE TRANSITION BACK TO A FACE TO FACE ENVIRONMENT WE CAN PROTECT THEIR STUDENTS, THEIR CHILDREN THAT WE CAN ALSO PROTECT OUR ARE OUR PEOPLE THAT WE CAN WITH DISCIPLINE IMPLEMENTS SAFETY PROTOCOLS AND THAT WE CAN BE OPERATIONAL IF EVER THERE WAS A TIME WHERE THERE WAS A DECISION MADE THAT WE WOULD BE TRANSITIONING BACK INTO THE BUILDING, IT WAS REALLY ENCOURAGING PERSONALLY TO SEE TEACHERS CREATING SPACE AND DISTANCE IN THEIR CLASSROOMS, REALLY PREPARING TO WELCOME THEIR STUDENTS NOT JUST AN ELITE BUT ALSO YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN THEY'VE BEEN LIVING IN THIS DUAL ENVIRONMENT DUAL READINESS FOR SO LONG NOT ONLY PREPARING FOR FACILITATING INSTRUCTION IN A IN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT BUT ALSO TO BE ABLE TO PREPARE BE PREPARED ON A DIME TO BE ABLE TO SWITCH. SO WE JUST DID NOT HEAR ANYBODY SCOFFING OR COMPLAINING OR WORRYING ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO DELIVER ON THE EXPECTATION THAT HAD BEEN PLACED IN FRONT OF THEM. AND SO I JUST THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS REALLY ENCOURAGING.

BUT THAT WAS CERTAINLY A LEARNING FROM. >> THANK YOU.

MR. SMITH. OH, MY MOM OF COURSE IS WHAT STUDENTS IS AT HIGH RISK?

>> YES. >> SO WE DID NOT WE DID NOT GIVE ANY SPECIFICS ON WHAT THAT ACTUALLY MEANS. THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY A LOT OF DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS THAT SCHOOLS COULD LOOK TO. THOSE WOULD BE STUDENTS WHO ARE UNDERPERFORMING ON THEIR READING LEVELS OR DESIGNATED READING LEVELS OR EXPECT AT GRADE LEVEL READING LEVELS SAME THING FOR MATH THINGS OF THAT SORT. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER THERE WERE A NUMBER OF DIAGNOSTIC FOUNDATIONAL EXAMINATIONS THAT WE GAVE TO STUDENTS AS WELL THAT DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WHATSOEVER WITH THEIR ACADEMIC STANDING.

FOR EXAMPLE, KINDERGARTEN READINESS ASSESSMENT THAT JUST SIMPLY EVALUATES YOUR ABILITY YOUR READINESS FOR KINDERGARTEN WORK THE DIAL ASSESSMENT WHICH BASICALLY JUST TELLS US WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL THINGS THAT YOU KNOW AS A PRE-K STUDENT. SO ON ONE HAND THE RELATIONSHIPS AND THE THE THE WHATEVER DATA THAT IS ACCESSIBLE TO SCHOOL LEADERS AND SCHOOLS ABOUT INDIVIDUAL KIDS PROVIDING DETERMINATIONS FOR WHETHER OR NOT THEY THOUGHT

[01:40:05]

VIRTUAL PART OF IT? >> YEAH THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

UNFORTUNATELY THE STATE DID NOT PRESCRIBE LEAP FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.

IT WAS ONLY FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE. SO THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A LIMITATION THAT WAS PLACED ON US. OH ALSO WITH REGARD TO SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WE WE INVITED STUDENTS WITH EXPLICIT DIRECTION TO OUR PRINCIPALS AND OUR SCHOOLS TO COVER A WIDE VARIETY OF STUDENTS. SO NOT JUST SPECIAL ED SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WERE OBVIOUSLY IN THAT MIX GRADE LEVEL PERFORMING STUDENTS OR REGULAR EDUCATION STUDENTS WERE IN THAT MIX ESL WELL STUDENTS WERE IN THAT MIX.

SO WE HAD A VARIETY OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO CAME TO PARTICIPATE FOR LEAD WHO NOT ONLY WERE INVITED BUT ALSO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT AS WELL. AND SO WE GAVE EXPLICIT DIRECTION TO OUR TO OUR SCHOOLS TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS A BROAD SWATH OF STUDENTS WHO WERE INVITED IN ARE OK AND THE MEASURES THAT ARE ANY PLANS TO ADDRESS THE HIGH SCHOOL NEEDS

AT THIS POINT TIME WILL NOT UNDER THE MANDATES OF LEAP. >> I MEAN I THINK HIGH SCHOOLS OBVIOUSLY ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENTS.

THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY COMMON PRACTICE IN HIGH SCHOOLS BUT OBVIOUSLY THE THE PROCESS OF GETTING SOME SENSE OF HIGH SCHOOLERS ABILITY TO PERFORM AT THE LEVEL OF RIGOR THAT HIGH SCHOOL STUDIES REQUIRE WILL BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE LEFT TO THE DISCRETION OF THE SCHOOLS THEMSELVES, NOT SOMETHING THAT WE SPECIFICALLY DICTATE FROM THE DISTRICT LEVEL AND JUST

COME IN AND MOVING FORWARD. >> I'LL GIVE OTHER PEOPLE A CHANCE TO ASK QUESTIONS.

I HOPE THAT WOMEN WHEN YOU WHEN YOU WHEN YOU'VE DONE IT HOPEFULLY A JOB, A AFTER ACTION REVIEW AND WHEN YOU DO DO THAT EVERY YEAR YOU GUYS PUT A PROCEED PROCEEDING MOVE FORWARD THAT YOU UPDATE THE BOARD BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE WHAT IS WHAT THE LEAK LOOKS LIKE AND WHAT WE DO WHAT THEY REALLY WHAT WHAT WHAT QUALITY OF MONEY THAT WE HAD ON THIS PROGRAM AND WHAT GOOD WHAT GOOD TAKEAWAYS WE GOT THAT WE GOT FROM POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE BECAUSE WITH EVERYTHING IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO DO GOOD. YOU HAVE GOOD, BAD NOTHING THAT YOU HAVE TAKE AWAY FOR IT. SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KIND OF JUST SEE WHAT WHAT BASICALLY WHAT WE OFFER THIS DISTRICT GUYS AS A WHOLE. IF IF YOU WHATEVER YOU CAN PUT THAT ON PAPER AT SOME POINT TIME IN PRESENTED TO THE BOARD, I WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO SEE

THAT. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. WE WERE ACTUALLY CONTEMPLATING THAT EVEN PRIOR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION AND ROLLOUT OF LEAP THE STATE PROVIDED A SPREADSHEET TEMPLATE THAT REQUIRED THAT WE IMPLEMENT CERTAIN INFORMATION RELATIVE TO OUR IMPLEMENTATION OF LEAP. WE IN-HOUSE CREATED A DOCUMENT THAT WAS MUCH MORE EXPANSIVE AND MUCH MORE COMPLEX AND MUCH MORE INVOLVED AND MUCH MORE DETAIL THAN EVEN WHAT THE STATE PREPARED. AND SO WE HAVE BOTH SETS OF THOSE DATA SPREADSHEETS THAT REALLY TELL A COMPLETE FULL AND COMPLETE PICTURE OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY DID DURING THAT PERIOD OF TIME. I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE THAT WITH THE BOARD.

THANK YOU. THANKS, DR.. YES, SIR.

MR. DON MR. DOWLING, NICE. GOOD REPORT. THANK YOU, SIR.

I'D LIKE TO ASK DR. RAKESH A QUESTION OR TO I'LL MAKE A QUICK MY OWN OPINION AS YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THINGS. BUT THERE'S A WORD MISSING FROM ALL THE DIALOG THAT I'VE HEARD AND SEEN USED CONSISTENTLY IN ALL OTHER ADVISORIES.

AND THAT'S THE WORD SUSTAINED. I KNOW WE'RE ALL LOOKING FOR A DROP BUT ALL MOST OF THE DIRECTION THAT I GET TO SEE IS THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR A SUSTAINED DROP.

[01:45:04]

>> IF I DIDN'T I DON'T THINK I USE THE WORD SUSTAINED. I THINK I USED CONSISTENCY AROUND IT. BUT I THAT'S WHAT I MEANT. AND AND SO YOU KNOW, I THINK I'LL OWE A ONE SHOT DEAL IN TERMS OF DROPPING INTO A MEDIUM CATEGORY.

FOR EXAMPLE, IS IS THE WE NEED WE KNOW WE REALLY NEED TO SEE ABOUT THREE WEEKS OF OF THAT CONSISTENCY AND STABILITY THERE. OKAY.

MY NEXT QUESTION IS GOING FORWARD. YOU SAY YOU NEED TWO WEEKS LEAD TIME TO GET BACK TO FACE TO FACE. IS THERE A LINE OR A GAGE BEYOND WHICH GOING BACK FACE TO FACE WILL BE MORE DISRUPTIVE THAN WE GAIN FROM IT? HYPOTHETIC. LET'S SAY THERE DO WE ACHIEVE A SUSTAINED DROP IN TWO WEEKS THAT WOULD PUT YOUR WAY INTO THE MIDDLE OF NOVEMBER SIGNAL STAT FACE TO FACE BACK UP FOR A MONTH AND YOUR BREAK FOR CHRISTMAS. IS THAT THE LAW OF DIMINISHING

RETURNS? >> YEAH. I MEAN THAT'S THAT'S SOMETHING PARTICULARLY WHEN WE'RE DEALING WITH THINGS LIKE THIS. MR. DOWLING THAT I WOULD I WOULD SAY I WOULD YOU KNOW TAKE BACK AND LOOK AT AND SPEND SOME TIME THINKING ABOUT THAT.

I'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN MEASURED AROUND THIS. I'VE GIVEN ALL OF THESE THINGS ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF THOUGHT, A LOT OF DIALOG AND A LOT OF DISCUSSION WITH THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM WITH YOU KNOW, OTHERS AS WELL. AND I JUST ANSWER ON A HYPOTHETICAL OFF THE CUFF I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DOING THAT. I THINK I NEED TO GIVE IT ITS MERIT AND AND SOME ADDITIONAL THOUGHT AROUND THAT. WELL, WHEN YOU'VE GIVEN ENOUGH ADDITIONAL I CAN LET US KNOW. YES, SIR. THANK YOU RESOURCE.

THANK YOU, DR. RODRIGUEZ. DR. STRAWBERRIES HAVE MENTIONED THAT SHE WAS WORKING ON A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF OPTIONS THAT SHE MIGHT SHARE WITH PARENTS WHO HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK AGAIN AND ARE SEEKING HELP FOR THEIR SCHOOLING, THEIR CHILDREN AT HOME THROUGH THEIR VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE. HAS THAT BEEN POSTED OR COMPLETE ANYWHERE YET? YEAH, ESSENTIALLY HER TEAM HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH DIFFERENT COMMUNITY PARTNERS JUST ENGAGING AND SEEING WHO'S OFFERING WHAT AND JUST SORT OF A BUILDING I GUESS LIKE A

REPOSITORY. >> SO THAT IF WE GOT ANY QUESTIONS FROM FAMILY, FROM FAMILIES THAT IF WE KNEW OF ANY PLACES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT WE'RE NOT ADVOCATING FOR ANY ONE PLACE. WE'RE NOT MAKING A RECOMMENDATION FOR ANY PARTICULAR PLACE. WE'RE JUST TRYING TO ANSWER A QUESTION OR OR POINT PEOPLE IN A DIRECTION. SO I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE A LIST AN ONGOING LIST WITH THAT, DR.

STRADDLES. HAS YOUR TEAM IS AT POSTED OUT THERE OR IS IT JUST SOMETHING THAT WE'RE RESPONDING TO PEOPLE AS THEY MIGHT HAVE QUESTIONS? WE'VE ACTUALLY DEVELOPED A LESS IT WILL BE POSTED GOING OUT YESTERDAY WAS A FOLLOW MEETING WITH COMMUNITIES DR. RODRIGUEZ AND BOARD MEMBERS AS WELL AS IN THAT MEETING YESTERDAY UNITED WAY HAS OFFERED AN OPPORTUNITY AND HOW WE MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN 60 TO 70 AMERICAN AMERICORPS VOLUNTEER TO COME IN AND WORK THAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW THAT JUST GOT RELEASED TO US.

AND WHEN THE PROCESS NOW HOW TO DISSEMINATE AND WORK WITH UNITED WAY ON HOW TO GET PEOPLE INTO THESE COMMUNITY PROGRAMS ACTUALLY ASSISTS AS TUTORS AS WELL.

SO I'M SURE PEOPLE WILL BE HAPPY TO HEAR THAT AND TO FIND THAT LIST.

>> HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE POSTED PROMINENTLY SOMEWHERE ON OUR WEB SITE.

I KNOW I'VE CERTAINLY HAD QUESTIONS. AND YOU WOULD BE BOMBARDED.

DR. STRATTON SO THAT'S THE BEST OPTION THE BOARD HAS A FEW MORE MEETINGS UNTIL SCHOOLS ARE OPEN. BUT TO MY BELIEVE THIS IS THE LAST AGENDA ITEM PER PIRKO THAT I'M AWARE OF THAT EVERY GUEST WE HAVE OUR FAMILIES WATCHING PERHAPS THIS EVENING OUR BOARD MEETING. DO YOU HAVE ANY TIME SENSITIVE MATTERS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH OUR FAMILIES WHO MAY BE WATCHING ANY ADDITIONAL ONES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED THIS

[01:50:02]

EVENING? YES, MA'AM. >> WE'RE GONNA FINISHED WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT REPORT. THIS WAS ONE SEGMENT ON LEAP AND WE WILL AS SOON AS YOU KNOW WE'VE ANSWERED ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MIGHT HAVE PERTAINING TO LEAVE.

THEN THEN WE'LL KEEP MOVING FORWARD AND TACKLE SOME OTHER ONES IN THE AGENDA.

GREAT QUESTION. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE READY FOR YOU TO MOVE ON . >> ON THAT NOTE, THIS WEEK IS OUR PRESCHOOL WEEK FOR OUR TEACHERS TO RETURN TO SCHOOL EITHER ON A VIRTUAL OR IF THEY WERE COMING INTO THE BUILDING. AND OUR TEACHERS HAVE BEEN ENGAGING IN PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN PREPARATION FOR OUR SEPTEMBER 8TH OPENING. YOU DO? YOU DID HEAR DR. BRADLEY TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME OF THAT. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT LAST WEEK. AND THEN ADDITIONALLY THERE'S MORE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT THIS WEEK. I'M GOING TO ASK DR. STRATOS TO DISCUSS THE CURRENT WEEK AT THIS JUNCTURE AND AND ENGAGE SOME OF THOSE ITEMS THAT THAT SHOW SHE'LL TALK ABOUT AND

NOTIFY PEOPLE STRADDLES. >> THANK YOU, DAD . I GUESS MADAM CHAIR AND BOARD MEMBERS. SO I WANT TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY PROVIDED NOT THE UPDATE TO THIS WEEK'S AND THE UPCOMING WEEKS AS DR. BRADLEY HIGHLIGHTED.

LEE, WE PROVIDED TIME FOR STUDENTS, FAMILIES AND TEACHERS TO RECONNECT WITH OUR SCHOOLS.

THESE HIGHLIGHTED ACTIVITIES CONTINUED. WE STARTED THIS WEEK AND WILL CONTINUE THE TEACHERS TO SEE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREAS OF ONLINE TRAINING FOR GRADES 9 312 WE'LL BE IN VIRTUAL SC TRAINING FOR GRADES K THROUGH 8 HAS BEEN PROVIDED THROUGH K 12 LEARNING SOLUTIONS PLATFORM. WE'VE HAD SOCIAL EMOTIONAL TRAINING THAT HAS ADDRESS SUPPORT FOR OUR ROLLOUT OF AN SDL RESOURCE CALLED PANORAMA WHICH WOULD BE AN ONLINE SURVEY THAT COULD BE UTILIZED WITH STUDENTS AND THAT WOULD BE UP AND DEPLOYED IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND THROUGH THE ADAGE OF ADDITIONAL ACL SUPPORT IN THE AREA OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE PRACTICES TRAINING FOR A STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT.

WE'VE ALSO HAD TRAINING AND STARTING TO WE'LL GO FOR TWO MORE DAYS IN TRAUMA INFORMED SCHOOLS WHERE THIS IS THE WORK JIM SPOILT LEADER AND THAT HAS BEEN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND KIM STABLER WHO HAS REACHED OUT TO OUR DISTRICT TO BE A PARTNER IN HELPING US DEVELOP ACL PROGRAMS HERE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY TEACHERS HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE TRAINING IN SHELTERED INSTRUCTIONAL OBSERVATION PROTOCOLS.

MANY OF YOU KNOW THIS IS PSYOP DIGITAL TOOLS FOR VIRTUAL CLASSROOMS HAS BEEN ANOTHER AREA OF TRAINING AS WELL AS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF LEARNING LABS FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH INDIVIDUAL EDUCATIONAL PLANS. SO AS YOU CAN TELL, THE LIST OF TRAINING CAN BE EXTENSIVE AND I WILL LIMIT MYSELF IN GOING ANY FURTHER BECAUSE I WANT TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE PREPARATION AND MAPPING OF THE UPCOMING WEEK WHICH WERE SCHOOLS, ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS HAVE BEEN PREPARING FOR A WELCOMING AND RETURN OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.

NEXT WEEK BRINGS GREAT EXCITEMENT TO OUR SCHOOLS EVEN WITHIN A VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT CLASSROOMS ARE BEING PREPARED. HOUSEKEEPING ROUTINES, PERFORMANCE EXPERT TATE EXPECTATIONS AND MOST OF ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT WITH STUDENTS ARE BEING ESTABLISHED NEXT WEEK ALSO BRINGS THE WEEK WHERE SCHOOLS WILL CONTINUE AT REACHING OUT TO FAMILIES AND DOING CHECK INS. SCHOOLS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO SET CALENDARS AND ACTIVITIES AND PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS TO WORK TOGETHER AS THEY LEARN HOW TO NAVIGATE THE LEARNING PLATFORMS. WE ALSO HAVE DR. BRADLEY BROUGHT FORWARD. WE WILL CONTINUE ON MAP TESTING FOR STUDENTS ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH GRADE 9 BUT WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE AS WE GO FORWARD MANY OF OUR KIDS WILL BE GETTING READY FOR VIRTUAL NORMS AND LEARNING HOW TO NAVIGATE SCHOOL THAT THEY MAY NOT BE WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH. SO I WANT TO BRING FORWARD THAT AS WE GET OUR SCHOOLS READY AND OUR ENVIRONMENT AND OUR VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS READY. MANY OF OUR TEACHERS WILL TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE CONTENT AS WE GO TO THE LATTER PART OF THE WEEK AND STILL BUILDING UP BUILD THE FOLLOWING INTO INTRODUCING MORE CONTENT TO OUR STUDENTS.

SO AS YOU COULD TELL IT'S BEEN A VERY BUSY PAST FEW DAYS AND A BUSY SUMMER AND WE'RE DEDICATED

[01:55:02]

ANYTHING LIKE THAT AT THIS TIME FROM THE BOARD. >> NO SIR.

>> HANNAH MISS FREDRICK. YES. THANK YOU, DR. GRANT.

DR. STRATUS, THANK YOU FOR THAT. YOU KNOW, THE THE THE WEEK BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS THERE'S ALWAYS LOVE DIFFERENT TRAINING AND IT'S, YOU KNOW, JUST DEDICATED TOWARD WHAT THOSE TEACHERS NEED. YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE A SPECIAL ED TEACHER AT NIGHT AND YOU SAW A TEACHER OR PSYOP IS GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.

BUT SO I JUST HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS. WHEN SCHOOL DOES START NEXT MONDAY SORRY TUESDAY DOES ARE SOME OF THE TEACHERS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE TEACHING FROM THEIR

CLASSROOMS? >> THEY LEAVE WORK AT A. MRS. FREDERIC AND OUR PRINCIPALS ON FIRST WEEK. YOU KNOW, WE DO HAVE THE TEACHERS WHO HAVE BEEN ABLE LOOK, WE SEE ACCOMMODATIONS. SO THOSE TEACHERS UNDER THE ACCOMMODATIONS WILL BE WORKING FROM THEIR HOMES. BUT WE ALSO HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF WATER WHAT OUR SCHOOLS SHARE. IF A TEACHER IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, BE HOME AND TEACH BUT WE WANT OUR TEACHERS TO NAVIGATE TO THEIR SCHOOLS IN A TIMELY MANNER SHOULD THERE'S THE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP NEED THEM TO BE AT THE SCHOOL SITE, OK?

>> WE ARE OUR TEACHERS. I THINK THAT GET TO THE QUESTION THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION THAT YOU'RE I THINK YOU'RE GETTING IT IS THAT OUR TEACHERS HAVE THE OPTION TO DELIVER INSTRUCTION EITHER FROM HOME OR IN THE BUILDING IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO.

AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING IT RIGHT LIKE I'M THINKING OF A SCIENCE TEACHER THAT MIGHT WANT TO DO A LAB FROM HER CLASSROOM AND DEMONSTRATE SO IT IS AH AH AH

THE CLASSROOM GOING TO BE AVAILABLE SCHOOLS OPEN. >> SO TEACHERS CAN TEACH CLASSROOMS IF THEY WANT TO. YES. OK.

OK. EXCELLENT. ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S GOOD FOR NOW. THANK YOU, MR. EARL CAMPBELL. >> OH, YES.

DR. RODRIGUEZ, HOW I WILL CHECK TOMORROW AND FIND OUT FROM THE OFFICE OF REGULATORY AND SEE WHAT YOU SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR ASSISTANCE. SO I WILL LET YOU KNOW.

>> PERFECT. SURE I WILL. WE'LL TOUCH BASE TOMORROW.

I'LL MAKE SURE I CONNECT WITH YOU AS WELL. SO LET THERE BE GOOD.

THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR CAMPBELL ASSIST SYSTEM AS IS A PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE DISTRICT IN TERMS OF WHAT'S EXPECTED FROM ONE PARTICULAR SUBJECT TO ANOTHER DO IT WITHOUT RITUAL PRESENTATION THE TEACHERS AND SCIENCE ALL AGREEING TO DO THE SAME KIND OF PROGRAMING OR A RELATIVELY ON THEIR OWN IN TERMS OF BUILDING BY BUILDING YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT BECAUSE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW WHAT KIND OF DIFFICULTY IT WOULD BE FOR A TEACHER TO PERFORM. AND THE SECOND QUESTION IS WHAT KIND OF ADDITIONAL TRAINING DID YOU PROVIDE TO THE NEW TEACHERS TEACHERS WHO ARE COMING IN FOR THE FIRST YEAR AND REALLY

DIDN'T EXPECT THE PANDEMIC TO IT? >> OKAY.

MR. CAMPBELL, I'LL TAKE THE LATTER OF THE TWO QUESTIONS FIRST.

WE THINK TO TRAINING WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE ONGOING TRAINING THAT WAS SCHOOL WIDE.

WE'VE DONE EXPERT TRAINING OF TRAINED TRAINER MODEL. SO WE GIVE PRINCIPALS KEY AND KEY PERSONNEL IN THE SCHOOLS TO BE A LEAD PERSON AS WELL AS ALL AT EDTECH COACHES HAVE BEEN TRAINED ON BOTH PLATFORMS AND THEN WE'VE SET UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE ON I WANT REFERRED TO IT AS COOL SITES. SO DOING THE INITIAL OPENING UP AS WE ROLLOUT CONTENT THAT TEACHERS WILL BE ABLE TO HAVE NOT ONLY THE EXPERTS IN THE BUILDING BUT WE'LL HAVE CALL CENTERS SET UP SO WE COULD HAVE REACH. AND WE ARE WORKING ON HAVING ADDITIONAL ONGOING TRAINING PROVIDED SO IT'S NOT WE HAVE NOT DONE A ONE SHOT DEAL.

WE ARE TRYING. WE'RE MOVING CHEESE RIGHT IN THE SENSE OF HAVING A VIRTUAL WORLD RIGHT NOW SUBJECT TO PANDEMIC, THE PANDEMIC. SO WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HAVE

[02:00:02]

BECAUSE MY SCHOOL MAY HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS THAN YOURS. >> SO FOR ME TO TURN AND SAY I WANT EVERYONE TO BE AT POINT X WE HAVE KIDS WHO HAD GAPS. WE HAVE STUDENTS WHO HAVE WHILE WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE HAVE TO PRESS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EDUCATORS TO HELP BUILD US UP SOME SO WE CAN GO FORWARD. ONCE WE GET POLYGON THAT I WAS REFERRING TO THE DEGREE THAT WILL CHILDREN I REFERRED TO SUBJECT MATTERS LIKE CHEMISTRY AND CHEMISTRY.

>> AP IS SEPARATE. HOW DOES THAT RELATE FROM ONE SCHOOL TO THE OTHER? JUST IN CASE WE CAN'T SERVICE SOME CHILDREN WITH THEIR WITH THEIR PROGRAMS THEY PLAN TO TAKE ONE SUBJECT AND IT'S NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE IT'S A LIMITED RESOURCE. NOW YOU KNOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR THAT CHILD TO TO TAG INTO ANOTHER TEACHER AT ANOTHER SCHOOL CENSUS RITUAL? YOU KNOW, ALL THESE DAYS COULD BE MADE POSSIBLE. SO THAT'S MY QUESTION. HOW CONSISTENT IS IT? DO I? IF I TAKE CHEMISTRY BEING BATTERY CREEK AND CHEMISTRY BEING HELD THERE, IS IT THE SAME THING? SO THAT IF I CAN'T TAKE IT OUT TILL DEMAND AND CAN DIG IT A BATTERY CREEK WILL IT BE COMPATIBLE? AND RELATIVE TO WHAT I NEED. THAT'S WHAT I THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW.

AND WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT THE GAPS? SO WHAT WHEN A STOOL CAN'T BE SERVICED, IS THERE IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT YOU CAN BE CROSS DISTRICT ACROSS THIS STUDENT VIRTUAL NODE AS A POSSIBLE FACE TO FACE THAT ARE VIRTUAL?

>> I WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S POSSIBLE AND I WANT TO KNOW IF IT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

WHY NOT? >> WELL, MR. CAMPBELL AND I APOLOGIZE I DON'T HAVE THOSE ANSWERS. ALL RIGHT. I ACTUALLY THOUGHT MAYBE I MAY HAVE SOME INFORMATION BECAUSE YOU'RE SPEAKING TO ONE OF THE BEAUTIFUL THINGS THAT HAS HAPPENED WITH KOLBERT. IT HAS BROUGHT A GROUP OF PEOPLE SO MUCH CLOSER TOGETHER.

RE RECOGNIZING THE RESOURCES AND WHAT I MEAN IS NOT THAT PEOPLE HAVEN'T BEEN TOGETHER BUT THEY'RE REALIZING THROUGH VIRTUAL I CAN SHARE WHAT I HAVE WITH YOU AND YOU'RE SPEAKING TO SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY MADE A RESOLUTION FAMILY TODAY. SO I'M A STUDENT AT SCHOOL EX.

THE SCHOOL IS NOT PROVIDING A SPECIFIC BIOLOGY COURSE ADVANCED LEVEL FOR ME.

THE PRINCIPAL AT SCHOOL Y IS SAYING WELL WHY NOT LET THEM COME TO ME AND WE ARE HAVING THAT TYPE OF COLLABORATION JUST STARTING AMONGST OUR SCHOOLS ESPECIALLY AT OUR HIGH SCHOOLS WITH THAT RECOGNITION. SO IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PART OF WHAT'S HAPPENS TO ISOLATION.

YES. YES. AND IT'S BEEN MUCH BETTER.

BELLFLOWER WE RETREAT. YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH. >> SPEAKING OF SPEAKING OF WHICH YOU WASN'T WHAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT TRAININGS. MY QUESTION IS WHAT TRAINING HAVE WE DONE WITH SOME OF THESE CERTIFIED POSITIONS AS IN AND SPECIFICALLY MADE MAYBE AS AN TEACHES TEACHERS ASSISTANTS,

SOCIAL WORKERS, BMX. >> WHAT TYPE OF TRAINING AT THOSE POSITIONS HAVE THERE IS

THIS ONE THING. >> AND AGAIN AND I'LL BUILD ON MY RESPONSE TO MR. CAMPBELL ANOTHER BENEFIT OF WHEN YOU'RE FACED WITH CHALLENGES IT BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER AND IT MAKES YOU SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY. MR. SMITH, OUR K12 TRAINING HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO SOCIAL WORKERS. IT HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO BE A. WE ARE PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RESTORATIVE TRAINING HAS BEEN HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO OUR BMX.

OUR BILINGUAL LIAISONS ARE BEING POSTURED TO HAVE ACCESS TO ALL TRAINING AS WELL WHERE RECOGNIZING IT IS A COLLABORATION, NOT AN ISOLATION.

[02:05:02]

CAN YOU GIVE ME SOME EXAMPLES POSSIBLY OF WHAT TYPE OF TRAINING HAVE HAD THE ONGOING

HAVE A ON TAKE OR HAVE THE TYPE OF INTERNATIONAL EVENT SO. >> CASE IN POINT OUR BILINGUAL

DESIGNS. >> WE'RE IN TRAINING AND SET UP ADDITIONAL TRAINING TOMORROW FOR A K12 COLLABORATION LEARNING PLATFORM SO THAT IT'S NECESSARY AND SAID THAT WAS WORKING WITH YOU OR WITH THE FAMILIES TO HELP TO HELP HAVE THAT KIND OF INFORMATION GOING BACK AND FORTH. IS THAT FAMILIAR WITH AS A BILINGUAL LIAISON? WE ARE PROVIDING ACCESS TO A BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT. THEY WERE SIGNED UP RESTORATIVE JUSTICE, RESTORATIVE PRACTICE TRAINING THAT WAS CONDUCTED LAST WEEK FOR TWO DAYS.

SO WE'VE OPENED OUR TRAININGS ACCESSIBLE IN MY LEARNING PLAN PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER FOR THE TRAININGS AND ATTEND AND ON CAMPUS THROUGH VIRTUAL WE HAVE PROVIDED THAT ACCESSIBILITY AND LASTLY DO DO THOSE POSITIONS HAVE THE OPTIONS THE SAME OPTIONS THAT TEACHERS DOES STAFF HAVE THE TEACHERS HAVE AS WELL AS EYES AS A WORKING VIRTUAL THAT WOULD

BE SOMETHING I MAY HAVE TO ASK MORE. >> I NEED TO HEAR MORE IF YOU CAN GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE BECAUSE IT'S IT'S A VERY LARGE QUESTION AND I DON'T WANT TO MISS BEING MISS IN THE SKY. MY RESPONSE MY QUESTION IS DO DO DO THEY HAVE THE SAME OPTION

TO WORK VIRTUALLY AS TEACHERS HAVE IN THOSE POSITIONS? >> SO IF WE'RE TALKING PEOPLE

RIGHT. >> IF SO, I MEAN. I MEAN IF NOT THEN WHY NOT JUST JUST JUST TELL THE FAMILY LEAVE ACT AS IT IS AND I AND MRS. DALTON'S ON LINE SO SHE SHE COULD SPEAK MORE DIRECTLY TO THIS BUT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CLASSIFIED END CERTIFIED PERSONNEL IN ORDER TO PUT IN FOR MODIFICATIONS THAT HAS EXISTED FOR PERSONNEL WITHIN THE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT WHERE EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.

>> SO WE DON'T SAY IT'S FOR YOU AND NOT FOR ME, OK? SO SO BASICALLY JUST TO GET CLARIFICATION. BASICALLY EVERYONE TEACHERS ASSISTANTS ALL THOSE WAS THE OPPOSITION'S IBM NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS. THEY HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO

WORK FROM TWO OR VIRTUALLY AND THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT THEY. >> LET ME CLARIFY MY STATEMENT TO YOU. ALL RIGHT. BECAUSE MRS. WALTON IS IN LINE AND WE DO NEED SOCIAL FOR US SO EVERYONE HAS A ROLE AND A JOB DESCRIPTION.

MR. SMITH SO IF I COULD ASK CHARD, YOU KNOW, TO BE A LITTLE MORE SPECIFIC ON YOUR EXPECTATION BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GIVE HER A RESPONSE TO ANOTHER DEPARTMENT, SIR.

MISS WALTON, CAN YOU ASSIST MR. SMITH IN LIEU OF THE RESPECT OF TIME?

>> I WILL REACH OUT TO MISS WALTON. GET SOME SPECIFIC INFORMATION

FOR YOU, SIR. >> MISS WALTON WAS SHE WAS JUST ON SO I THINK I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DISCONNECTED. SHE MIGHT BE IN THE WAITING ROOM RIGHT NOW.

>> WELL, COULD WE HAVE THE HOST OR DO I CHAPLAINS AND I WOULD JUST SAY THERE QUICKLY I'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH WITH MISS WALTON THAT THERE ARE NO CATEGORIES OF PERSONNEL THAT WE HAVE MANDATED COME INTO BUILDINGS TO WORK OTHER THAN ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL LIKE THOSE WHO ARE PROVIDING FOOD SERVICES ARE OBVIOUSLY OUR ARE OUR BUS DRIVERS.

>> THOSE WHO MANAGE THAT FLEET OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO TO COME IN FROM WHERE THEY FROM WHERE THEY LIVE FOR THEIR PLACES RESIDENTS TO ACTUALLY EXECUTE ON THEIR JOBS.

BUT THOSE WHO ACTUALLY SERVE STUDENTS WE HAVE MANDATED WE HAVE NOT MANDATED FOR ANY CATEGORY OF PERSONNEL THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COME INTO THE BUILDING.

SO THE SHORT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION, MR. SMITH, BARRING CERTAIN CATEGORIES OF PERSONNEL

IS NO, IT IS YES THERE IS FLEXIBILITY TO WORK FROM HOME. >> THANK YOU, SIR.

ALSO BASICALLY ONLY EXTENSIONS ARE MANDATED. EVERYONE ELSE HAS OPTIONS.

IS THAT CORRECT? >> RIGHT. THAT'S MY TERMINOLOGY.

THERE MAY BE A MORE APPROPRIATE OR ACCURATE TERM OR DESCRIPTION FOR THOSE CATEGORY OF PERSONNEL BUT I AM I AM PERSONALLY CALLING THEM ESSENTIAL PERSONNEL THOSE WHO WHOSE JOB FUNCTIONS CANNOT BE EXECUTED OUTSIDE OF COMING TO A PLACE OF WORK.

[02:10:02]

>> MISS WALTON CAN CAN DID YOU. WERE YOU ABLE TO HEAR MR. SMITH'S QUESTION?

>> MR. WALTON, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I YES SIR. HER BACK ON.

>> YEAH SHE. SHE SHE'S ON SHE JUST MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HEAR US RIGHT NOW.

YES, SIR. I'M SORRY. OK.

CONNECTION. WERE YOU ABLE TO MISS JUST WHAT WAS YOUR QUESTION MR. SMITH IS ASKING IF FOR EXAMPLE WITH FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT OR WORKING FROM HOME WAS WAS AN OPTION OFFERED TO TO ALL THE EMPLOYEES NOT JUST NOT JUST OUR TEACHERS?

IS THAT RIGHT, MR. SMITH? >> CORRECT. CORRECT.

YEAH. SO THE QUESTION IS ARE ALL EMPLOYEES GIVEN THE SAME RIGHTS

IN TERMS OF WORKING REMOTELY VERSUS WORKING FACE TO FACE? >> THE ANSWER TO THAT IS YES.

YOU CONSIDER YOUR JOB POSITION THERE OUTSIDE OF THE ABILITY FOR YOU TO WORK FROM HOME OR TO DO FACE TO FACE OR BE IN THE BUILDING IS FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. SO SINCE WE BEGAN VIRTUALLY WE ARE BEGINNING VIRTUALLY FOR ALL EMPLOYEES. SOME ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES MUST BE IN THE BUILDING AND THOSE EMPLOYEES WILL IF THEY CANNOT BE IN THE BUILDING FOR WHATEVER REASON OR THEY HAVE A HEALTH REASON FOR NOT BEING IN THE BUILDING THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO APPLY FOR AN ACCOMMODATION AND THEN WE CAN MAKE PROVISIONS FOR THEM.

BUT YES, IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOU'RE CLASSIFIED CERTIFIED YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO VIRTUAL OR NOT MISSES WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME WHO DETERMINE WHO DETERMINES WHETHER THEY ARE CENTRAL IN WHAT IS ESSENTIAL TO ACTUALLY THE GOVERNOR HAS MADE HAS STATED WHO WERE SENT A CENTRAL EMPLOYEES BUT WE WE IN THIS DISTRICT USUALLY LOOK AT SOMEONE WHO MANS THE BUILDING, SOMEONE WHO ANSWERS THE PHONE, SOMEONE WHO IS ACTUALLY THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE'S THIS

OPERATES SO THAT THEY'RE NOT THERE. >> THAT BUSINESS HAS TO CLOSE SO WE'D HAVE TO CLOSE THE SCHOOL. WE HAVE SOMEONE TO ANSWER THE PHONE, SOMEONE TO BE THERE TO SERVICE ADMINISTRATOR MAKE SURE THE TEACHERS HAVE WHAT THEY NEED TO HAVE. THOSE WOULD BE THE ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES SOMEONE IN THE DISTRICT OFFICE THAT MUST MAKE SURE PAYROLL GETS TAKEN CARE, MAKE SURE A STAFF BENEFITS ARE TAKEN CARE. THOSE ARE INSIDE THESE CENTRAL EMPLOYEES TEACHERS ARE ALSO CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL EMPLOYEES AS DESIGNATED BY THE GOVERNOR. SO THANK YOU.

>> OBVIOUSLY WE'VE WE'RE WE'RE FOLLOWING THE OUTLINE OF THE GOVERNMENT.

>> YES. WE ARE. YES.

AND I WILL SAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF OUR STAFF WHO HAVE SAID THAT THEY HAD AN UNDERLYING CONDITION OR DID NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY NEEDED TO BE EXPOSED IN THE BUILDING AND OUT OF TWENTY NINE HUNDRED EMPLOYEES. WE'VE ONLY RECEIVED ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE APPLICATIONS FOR COMMENDATIONS. THANK YOU.

>> HAVE THE BEST GRADES AND BEST RIGHT TO KNOW. THANKS FOR BEING.

THANKS FOR CLARIFYING THAT. AND I JUST WANT TO LEARN THE PROCESS AND TO UNDERSTAND HOW WE OPERATE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

DOCTOR HIS NETSCAPE CARE. YESTERDAY WE I WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN MY DAUGHTER'S VIRTUAL ORIENTATION AND SOMETHING THAT WAS GLEANED FROM THAT WAS THAT WE WOULD BE GETTING THE K12 VIRTUAL LOG INS FOR STUDENTS SOMETIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

AND SO NOW WE'RE ABOUT A WEEK OUT. I WANTED TO ASK BECAUSE I'M SURE A LOT OF PARENTS ARE WONDERING WHEN THOSE WILL BE FORTHCOMING.

I JUST KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE SOME TIME. AND THEN ALSO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE ELSE IN THE DISTRICT HAS EVERYTHING THEY NEED WITH REGARD TO THAT

PLATFORM TO GO AHEAD. >> THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. DR. MEADOWS, GO AHEAD AND THEN I'LL JUST SHARE WE HAVE SOME REPRESENTATIVES HERE FROM K12 THAT CAN SPECIFICALLY ADDRESS THOSE QUESTIONS. BUT DR. STRATOS, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW WE BEGIN THE WEEK. FIRST OF ALL, WITH RESPECT TO THE TYPICAL START OF THE YEAR PROCEDURES WITHIN SCHOOLS AND THEN TRANSITION INTO THE RESPONSE FOR THAT QUESTION AND

K12 IS ONLINE TO RESPOND TO THAT SNAPS. >> AS WE WORK THAT ONBOARDING

[02:15:07]

SO AS WE START ROLLING INTO NEXT WEEK OUR GOAL IS THAT OUR PARENTS AND STUDENTS WILL HAVE ACCESS THAT I'M GOING TO LET K12 SPEAK TO THAT IN A MOMENT TO THEIR SIGN ONS.

WE'VE PREPARED A PRESENTATION THAT IS SPECIFIC TO BEAUFORT COUNTY THAT COULD SUPPORT INFORMATION ON HOW TO DO SOME NAVIGATION. AS A PARENT AND AS WE BAD GETS ROLLED OUT, WE GET TO NEXT TIER OF SCHOOLS STARTING ON THE 8TH. WE'RE LOOKING TO ENABLE TO UTILIZE TUTORIALS WITH OUR STUDENTS. SO THE SIGN ONS AND ACCESS FOR STUDENTS OR MORE SO TO LINK THEY'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU THE TEACHER THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE STUDENTS TUTORIALS IN BOTH THE CONTENT AREA AND WITHIN WHAT IS CALLED NEURO WHICH IS THE DELIVERY SHELL OF K12 THAT WILL START AT THE ONSET OF NEXT WEEK AS WE'RE ALSO WORKING THROUGH THE BUILD FAMILIARITY AND ROUTINES OF THE NEWNESS OF SCHOOL ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY GOING THROUGH GETTING THE ROUTINES OF DOING ATTENDANCE, GRADING THE BEE HELO, THE SCAVENGER HUNT, ALL THE NUANCES THAT WILL HAPPEN AS WE'RE ROLLING INTO THAT ENVIRONMENT AT THE START OF NEXT WEEK. OUR GOAL HAS ULTIMATELY BEEN TO HAVE SIGN ONS FOR OUR EDUCATORS AND THE GOAL HAS BEEN TO HAVE THOSE THOSE SIGN ONS IN A TIMELY MANNER SO THAT I CAN UTILIZE THIS WEEK AS AN EDUCATOR TO BUILD MY CAPACITY IN NAVIGATING CONTENT AREA NOT ONLY NAVIGATING WITHIN THE COMMUNICATION SHELL OF K12 WE'VE HAD EXTENSIVE CONVERSATION WITH K12 UNDER RELEASE OF BOTH WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TAKE GET AT A CHRONIC ACCESS TO THE COURSE, THE STANDARDS, THE PACING, THE MATERIALS THAT WE USE IN SUPPORTING WHAT COURSE TO TEACH BUT THE OPPORTUNITIES STILL FOR THE SIGN ON FOR ME MARY SPECIFICALLY TO GO AND NAVIGATE LET'S SAY 8TH GRADE U.S. HISTORY THAT HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED YET AT THIS TIME. AND IF WE COULD HAVE I BELIEVE I HAVE MR. SAMPSON ON RIGHT NOW. HE CAN GIVE A RELEASE OF THE CALENDAR AND I CALL IT.

I MEAN NOT UTILIZE THE RIGHT LANGUAGE WHEN I SAY A TASK CALENDAR OF BEING ABLE TO BREAK OUT RELEASE OF THAT IS ALSO ALIGNED TO WHAT IS BELIEVED WILL GIVE A SECURE LEARNING OPPORTUNITY. SO MR. SAMPSON, ARE YOU ONLINE? I AM DR. STRUTHERS.

CAN YOU. CAN YOU SPEAK TO A CONVERSATION FOR AMANDA WITH NFC PLEASE?

>> SURE. I WILL. AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN YOU TONIGHT. GOOD EVENING, CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. FIRST OFF, I WANT TO COMPLIMENT AGAIN DR. STRATUS, DR.

RODRIGUEZ. DR. BRADLEY, YOUR TEAMS AND THE WAY THAT THEY HAVE COOPERATED WITH OUR TEAMS STARTING WITH PROBABLY THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE LAST BOARD MEETING WE ATTENDED WHICH WAS AUGUST 5TH. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER ON ON TEAMS TO NOT ONLY GET YOUR YOUR TEACHER'S INVOLVED IN SOME TRAINING BUT ALSO GET THEM SANDBOX CREDENTIALS AND DEMO ACCESS TO THE COURSE. CURRENTLY WE'VE GOT OUR I.T.

DEPARTMENT WORKING TO WITH ALL OF THE PROVISIONAL DATA THE STUDENT DATA THAT WAS PROVIDED LAST WEEK REGARDING ENROLLMENTS OF COURSE MAPPING LINING UP YOUR STUDENTS WITH THE COURSES THAT THEY ARE GOING TO BE ENROLLED IN WITH ASSIGNED TO THE CORRECT TEACHERS AND WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF PREPARING THAT WITHIN YOUR ENVIRONMENT AS WE SPEAK.

THE PLAN FROM THE BEGINNING WAS TO HAVE ALL OF THAT DELIVERED NO LATER THAN 9 8.

AND SO THAT YOUR TEACHERS CAN BE IN THE SYSTEM ON THE SYSTEM WITH THEIR STUDENTS AND HAVE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. SO WE ARE CURRENTLY TRACKING TO THAT DATE.

WE DO HAVE UPDATES BOTH DAILY SEVERAL TIMES A DAY RIGHT NOW WITH DR. STRATUS AND HER TEAM.

WE'VE GOT A CLIENT SERVICE TEAM THAT'S BEEN WORKING EXTENSIVELY AS WELL AND THAT WOULD BE KIND OF WHERE WE STAND RIGHT NOW WITH THE PROVISIONING OF THE COURSES AND THE LOGGING

CREDENTIALS ASSOCIATED WITH THAT FOR THE STUDENTS. >> WHAT I'M GATHERING IS THAT

[02:20:05]

DO YOU STAFF MEMBERS EVERYBODY HAVE YOU SAID A FULL ACCOUNT? THEY HAVE OBVIOUSLY A PRELIMINARY ACCOUNT BUT DO THEY DO THEY HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE DATABASE SO THEY CAN GET IN

THERE AND DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO? >> SO CURRENTLY THE CREDENTIALS THAT THEY HAVE NOW ARE SANDBOX DEMO CREDENTIALS AND THEY WILL BE GETTING THEIR FULL ENVIRONMENT ACCESS OR OUR ANTICIPATION IS 9 AS I WAS SHARED WITH DR. RODRIGUEZ AND DR. STRATUS AND DR. BRADLEY. IF THERE'S ANY WAY POSSIBLE THAT WE CAN DELIVER AHEAD OF THAT DATE, WE ABSOLUTELY WILL. THE MINUTE IT'S AVAILABLE TO SHARE WITH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IT WILL BE SHARED AND OUR HOPE IS THAT THE TRAINING AND ALL OF THE THE WORK THAT WE'VE PUT IN WITH YOUR TEAMS AND WITH THE TEAMS IN BEAUFORT COUNTY ARE ON PACE SO THAT THEY

ARE READY FOR NEXT WEEK. >> THANK YOU FOR THAT. MY NEXT QUESTION IS GOING TO BE WITH REGARD TO THAT TIMELINE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WHERE IT'S BEEN AGREED UPON AT THE 9 8 DATE WAS THE DATE. I'M WONDERING IF THAT IS EXPLICITLY IN THE CONTRACT AS THAT TIMELINE REFERRED TO IN THE CONTRACT. BECAUSE FOR ME AS A BOARD MEMBER AND ALSO AS A PARENT THE DAY THAT SCHOOL STARTS TO RECEIVE A LOG IS DISTRESSING.

IT'S ALREADY STRESSFUL ENOUGH THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, NAVIGATING THIS WHOLE NEW WORLD AND THEN GETTING THE LOG AND I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT THAT WOULD BE LIKE FOR OUR EDUCATOR.

SO I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD ANSWER THAT QUESTION BUT I'M WONDERING IF THIS INFORMATION IS DELIVERABLE DE WAS MEMORIAL MEMORIALIZED ANYWHERE THAT THE BOARD PREVIOUSLY SAW WHEN WE APPROVED THE CONTRACT OR SAID THAT TO A SNAP SCAPE ON THAT DEPLOYMENT DATE WAS NOT A DATE

THAT WAS MEMORIALIZED WITHIN THE CONTRACT. >> SO I DO UNDERSTAND THE DIRECTION OF THE CONVERSATION SIGNIFICANTLY. I ALSO NOTE THAT AS WE OPEN UP THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK OF NEXT WEEK THERE IS GONNA BE SO MUCH TIME JUST IN THE ABSENCE OF GETTING ROUTINES, GETTING OPPORTUNITY OF GETTING OUR KIDS BACK TOGETHER AFTER BEING SEPARATED FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THAT NO I'M NOT SATISFIED WITH THE DEPLOYMENT DATE OF SEPTEMBER 3. COLBY I WILL SHARE THAT IT HAS BEEN A PUSH AND PULL.

IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS CONTRACTED. IT WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS DEFINED TO THE POINT OF CLARIFICATION FOR CLARIFICATION.

BUT I ALSO RECOGNIZE IN ORDER TO DEPLOY WHAT SHOULD BE A SUCCESSFUL ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR KIDS AND OUR TEACHERS AND I UNDERSTAND THAT IF THEY'RE THE ENGINEERING THIS MAY TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME THAN WAS INITIALLY ANTICIPATED IN MY MIND.

I WOULD WANT TO HAVE MY TEACHERS RIGHT NOW NAVIGATING THE SOFTWARE BUT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ACCESSIBLE TO ALL THE SCHOOLS AND I HAVE TO SHARE THAT FROM THAT ON THE PACING CALENDARS STANDARDS TIED TO EVERY COURSE THAT DOWN TO THE AVAILABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY ELECTRONICALLY TO ALL THE TEXTBOOKS THAT WILL BE SENT OUT TO THE SCHOOLS AS WELL THAT WE JUST RECEIVED THIS MORNING.

SO IT IS AN ESSENCE CONFIDENCE, A NAVIGATIONAL TOOL, NO DIFFERENT.

AND WHEN WE ALL STARTED WITH ZOOM I AND I THINK WE'VE ALL DEVELOPED SOME TYPE OF PROFICIENCY IN THAT DOMAIN IN MY MIND. SO I WOULD ON ALL MY TEACHERS AND THIS HAS BEEN STRESS FROM THE BEGINNING. I WANT MY TEACHERS HAVE ACCESS NOW BECAUSE THIS IS MY COMFORT LEVEL AND I WOULD ADD TO THAT JUST THE CONCEPT OF ALL THOSE

TEACHERS DEPLOYING ON TO A NEW PLATFORM AT THE SAME TIME. >> I'M WORRIED ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGICAL SUPPORT BEHIND THAT AND THERE BEING ISSUES YOU HAVING TO TROUBLESHOOT THINGS AND NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO DO THAT PRIOR. THERE'S NOT BEING A TEST PERIOD OF THAT THAT CONCERNS GREAT. IF ANYBODY WAS READING THE HEADLINES WHAT HAPPENED IN MIAMI-DADE THEY DEPLOYED THEIR SYSTEM AND HAD SOME MAJOR TECHNOLOGICAL ISSUES AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO EXPERIENCE IF ANYTHING LIKE THAT THAT WE HAVE SUPPORTS IN PLACE AND THAT WE'RE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PUBLIC KNOWS WHAT THEY SHOULD CONTACT IF

[02:25:08]

SO I'M JUST GREATLY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT DATE AND I'M GOING TO STOP MONOPOLIZING THE TIME, LET OTHERS ASK QUESTIONS. BUT I LIKELY WILL BE BRINGING FORWARD A MOTION AT THE END OF THIS TOPIC REGARDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT THAT INCLUDES DELIVERABLES AND DATES THAT ARE CLEARLY DEFINED FOR THE FUTURE USE OF THIS PLATFORM THANKS TO OUR OWN MR. DOWLING,

GO TO STRATEGIES. >> IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT IF WE WERE DOING FACE TO FACE THAT IT TAKES A FEW DAYS? TO FOR A TEACHER AND THE KIDS TO GET OUT OF FIRST HERE AND GET ROLLING? I MEAN A TEACHER DOESN'T WANT TO SAY I'D OPEN UP YOUR BOOKS TO PAGE 10. THEY SPEND THE FIRST COUPLE OF DAYS GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER EXPLAINING WHAT THE RULES ARE AS YOU SAY, GETTING BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

SO I'M NOT TRYING TO MINIMIZE THIS SITUATION WHICH CAUSES GREAT CONCERN BUT I ALSO KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT A A PLATFORM ROLL ALONG VERY, VERY RARELY ENDS UP TO BE A DURING KEY OPERATION. SO I. IS IT FAIR TO SAY THAT AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS OF GETTING UP TO SPEED WILL YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SORT HIT THE DECK RUNNING AND ACCELERATE THE LEARNING SO THAT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD TO THE BUSINESS HAPPENING? IS THAT FAIR TO SAY? SAID MR. DOWLING. YOU SPEAK AS IF YOU'VE BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM AS AN EDUCATOR AND YOU ALSO SPEAK WITH REGARD TO HOW I LEFT STANDING.

HOW HAVE NEVER I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CLASSROOM AS AN EDUCATOR BUT I WORKED FOR THE SECOND LARGEST COMPUTER CORPORATION OF THE COUNTRY AND I ALSO HAD THREE KIDS SAT INTRICATELY TO A SCHOOL THAT WAS GOING TO BE MY SECOND COMMENTARY TEACHER.

>> THAT YOU SPEAK WITH EXPERIENCE OF UNDER A PROGRAMS. SO YES, NEXT WEEK WE RECOGNIZE THAT THEY ARE VERY FAR FEW FEW AND BETWEEN TEACHERS WHO START IN DAY 1 2 AND 3 WITH REGARD TO THIS IS PAGE 10. LET'S GET TO THE TEXTBOOK. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE WITHIN STATE GUIDELINES THAT WE MUST COMPLETE MAP TESTING WITHIN THE FIRST 10 DAYS OF SCHOOL OF STUDENT TEACHER CONTACT CONTACT. SO THAT INFORMATION HAS BEEN ALREADY SHARED ON HOW TO DO TESTING VIRTUALLY TO ALL THE TESTING COORDINATORS.

WE ARE DOING ANOTHER UPDATE TO THAT TO OUR PRINCIPLES THAT WILL BE HAPPENING TOMORROW AT ABOUT 3 O'CLOCK REGARDING PROTOCOLS IN PRACTICE BECAUSE MAP TESTING HAS TO BE COMPLETED AS WELL FOR ALL STUDENTS. AND THAT MEANS RECOGNIZING WE'VE LOST SOME STUDENTS DOING SOME MATH TESTING. WE DIDN'T HAVE SPRING LAB TESTING LAST YEAR.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TEST DEPLOYMENT FOR MAP FOR US TO GET SOME BASELINE DATA.

SO THAT'S A B I'M A STRONG BELIEVER THAT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME TYPE OF STRESS TESTS.

I WILL NOT SPEAK FOR K 12 BUT I RECOGNIZED WITH A K 12 TAKING THE ROLLING OUT OF KIDS, ROLLING OUT OF MORE INFORMATION, ROLLING OUT A MORE TAX ALLOWS THEM TO MANAGE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ON THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE. SURE.

I AM BY NO MEANS AN ENGINEER BUT I UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT OF WHERE YOU WERE DRIVING YOUR

COMMENTARY, SIR. THANK YOU, MR. SMITH. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM.

SURE. SO IF THERE'S A CHANCE THAT WE WILL NOT WE WILL NOT BE IF THERE'S A CHANCE THAT WE WILL GO BEYOND 9 8 THEN WHEN WOMEN GO.

SO WE EXPECT SPECTATORS THAT THIS THAT THESE OUR PASSWORDS AND THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION

FOR BANDRA OUR DEALER. >> I THINK THE ONLY ANSWER I WOULD HAVE TO THAT IS THE THE ABSOLUTE FIRST AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE TO SHARE.

LOG IN CREDENTIALS AND AND I'M STILL HOPEFUL THAT IT CAN HAPPEN BEFORE 9 8.

IT WILL BE SHARED WITH BEAUFORT COUNTY AND WE WILL BE IN VERY CLOSE COMMUNICATION WITH THE

[02:30:04]

LEADERSHIP TEAM. >> EVERYDAY LEADING UP TO IT AND THEY'LL HAVE A SOLID

UNDERSTANDING WHERE WE ARE ON THAT. >> AND I DO UNDERSTAND THAT MR. MR HOWARD, BUT HOPE DOES NOT GIVE MY PARENTS AND MY CONSTITUENTS AN ANSWER AND I WAS HOPING THAT YOU COULD GAGE A POSSIBLE TIME THAT COULD HELP ME TO UNDERSTAND WHEN WE COULD POSSIBLY HAVE DELAYED DELIVERIES DELIVERANCE THIS CONTRACT FROM LAST YEAR AS I SHOWED EARLIER, WE DO HAVE A TEAM RIGHT NOW THAT'S WORKING THROUGH AND REVIEWING ALL THE PROVISIONAL DATA THAT WAS PROVIDED FROM YOUR I.T. DEPARTMENT WHO AGAIN HAS BEEN

FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH. >> THEY ARE INCREDIBLY RESPONSIVE AND AS WE WORK THROUGH THE COURSE MAPPING THAT'S BEEN DONE FROM THE BEAUFORT COUNTY SIDE AND ARE ABLE TO THEN CREATE THE FINISHED PRODUCT OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY BE SHARED WITH FIRST WITH THE LEADERSHIP TEAM AND THEN DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE

DISTRICT. >> WELL, WHAT RESOURCES WOULD YOU NEED TO EXPEDITE THE TIMELINE? YOU KNOW, IT'S REALLY JUST A MATTER RIGHT NOW OF OUR I.T.

TEAM WORKING THROUGH ALL THE DATA AND THEN ALIGNING IT WITH YOUR PARTICULAR ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER ON YOUR END. OKAY.

DR. RODRIGUEZ, ARE YOU ABLE TO TELL US WHAT ARE THE ISSUES ON THIS MATTER AND IF AND HOW IT

WILL IMPACT OPENING OUR OPENING OF OUR SCHOOLS? >> WELL, ESSENTIALLY FOR US AS THE DOCTOR STRATAS HAS SHARED, WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS WE HAVE DEVELOPED OUR PLAN IN ORDER TO MEET OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR OUR CHILDREN AND AND AND TO SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS IN DELIVERING OF THE INITIAL WHAT IS TRADITIONAL TYPICAL FIRST WEEK TYPE OF ENGAGED THAT TAKES PLACE WHERE YOU ARE SETTING EXPECTATIONS, WHERE YOU ARE SETTING UP SYSTEMS AND ROUTINES, WHERE YOU ARE GETTING A CHANCE TO CONNECT WITH THE STUDENTS WHICH YOU KNOW OUR TEACHERS HAVE IT

HAVEN'T BEEN WITH FOR SOME TIME. >> SO THEY'LL GET A CHANCE TO MEET THEIR NEW TEACHER. TEACHER GETS A CHANCE TO MEET THEIR NEW STUDENTS.

THEY GET A CHANCE TO TALK AND DISCUSS THEIR ACT JUST TO CHECK IN A GENERAL CHECK IN AROUND HOW THEY'VE BEEN AND HOW THEY'VE BEEN DOING. THOSE ARE ALL TYPICAL THINGS THAT HAPPEN IN THE SCOPE OF A FIRST WEEK OF OF ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION.

AT ANY RATE. AND SO WE WE WILL BE UTILIZING OUR TRADITIONAL PLATFORMS TO ENGAGE THAT SUCH AS SEE SAW FOR EXAMPLE SUCH AS ZUNE DURING THE COURSE OF THAT FIRST WEEK TO GET THOSE THOSE COMPONENTS IN THOSE CRITICAL PIECES ACCOMPLISHED DURING THAT FIRST WEEK AND THEN AND ALSO GIVES OUR OUR TEACHERS A LITTLE BIT OF TIME OR ADDITIONAL TIME THERE TO PLAY AROUND WITH THEIR SYSTEM AND FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH IT BEFORE THEY ENGAGE IN THE ACTUAL DELIVERY OF CONTENT WHICH IS WHERE WE WOULD WE WOULD DO IT BY UTILIZING THE INSTRUCTIONAL PLATFORM FOR THAT PURPOSE. SO SO THOSE ARE THE THINGS WE WOULD BE ACCOMPLISHING TYPICALLY DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL DURING ANY KIND OF ANY GIVEN YEAR IS THAT CONNECTION WITH WITH STUDENTS. SO ESSENTIALLY FOR US WHAT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO IS MAKE SURE THAT OUR TEACHERS HAVE AMPLE TIME TO PREPARE THEMSELVES UTILIZING AN FAMILIARIZING WITH THAT PLATFORM SO THAT WHEN THEY BEGIN TO UTILIZE IT IN THE DELIVERY OF INSTRUCTION THEY'RE COMFORTABLE.

ALSO COULD THIS HAVE BEEN ANTICIPATED BY OUR STAFF OR DOES THIS PHOTO FALL? DOES THIS FALL SOLELY ON THE VENDOR? NO, SIR.

WE DIDN'T ANTICIPATE IT. AND MY QUESTION IS DOES THIS FALL?

DOES THIS FALL SOLELY ON THE VENDOR? >> YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THE VENDOR HAD AN INTERNAL PLAN FOR DELIVERY ON THEIR END AND THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH IT TO TO GET THERE ON OUR END. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY EARLIER SO THAT OUR TEACHERS HAVE A CHANCE TO ENGAGE AND FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES.

THEY'VE GONE THROUGH TRAINING BUT I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM SPEND A LITTLE BIT OF TIME WITH

[02:35:08]

SCHOOL. >> RIGHT. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.

BUT YOU KNOW, MY QUESTION IS I'M JUST TRYING YOU KNOW, LET THE PARENTS KNOW THAT WHILE WE'RE TRYING TO GET OUR CLEAR OK, CLEAR FOR CLEAR SOME CLARITY THAT BASICALLY WAS THIS BASICALLY A THE A.. SO HE'S A A GLITCH DUE TO BUT DUE TO THE WHAT I'VE BEEN THE BY THE BY THE VENDOR IS JUST AS MISERABLE AS MY QUESTION. SO YEAH.

>> AND DR. STRADDLES YOU CAN YOU CAN FILL IN AS YOU'VE SPENT THE BULK OF OF THE TIME WORKING WITH THEM. BUT BUT ESSENTIALLY FOR OUR FOR OUR STAFF TO MOVE FORWARD OUR STAFF AND FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES MORE SO WITH THE PRODUCT THAT THEY NEED THAT THAT LOG IN COMPONENT SO THEY CAN FAMILIARIZE THEIR DAY. THEY HAVE SEEN US AND I THINK DR. STRADDLES CAN TALK MORE ABOUT THIS SOME COMPONENTS THAT THEY CAN THEY CAN LOOK AT AND DELVE INTO. BUT IN TERMS OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF THE PLATFORM, I BELIEVE THAT'S SOMETHING WHERE WE WOULD HAVE WANTED SOME ADDITIONAL TIME FOR THEM.

DARK SHADOWS. SO MR. SMITH, I DON'T WANT TO SAY IT'S A MATTER FAULT BECAUSE

I WANT TO SAY IT IS A MATTER IF WE DEPLOY EARLIER. >> MY QUESTION THAT I HAVE TO REALIZE IS THAT WITH EARLIER DEPLOYMENT WILL WE BE SUCCESSFUL AND WOULD WE HAVE CRASHED NOW BECAUSE THE VENDOR NEEDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENGINEER THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT IS GOING TO BE TIED TO BEAUFORT COUNTY? I RECOGNIZE THAT WE CAME FORWARD. YOU KNOW, APPROVAL ON ALL OF THIS FIF.

SO AS I START MAPPING FORWARD GOING BY THE TIME WE COMPLETED CONTRACT I WE'RE INTO THE FOLLOWING WEEK OF THE 12TH WE START LOOKING AT COURSE MAPPING WHICH IS A TAILED COUNT OF ALSO HAVING ALL OUR SCHOOLS COMPLETE. NOT ONE BUT TWO MASTER'S SCHEDULES ONE THAT IS GOING TO BE FACE TO FACE A SECOND AND THAT WOULD BE VIRTUAL WE COULD NOT CONDUCT MAP MAPPING OR A LINEMAN OF COURSES UNTIL ALL SCHOOLS HAVE COMPLETED THEIR MASTER'S SCHEDULES AND THAT IS ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE SCHOOL. ONCE THAT IS COMPLETED THEN IT'S ON THE MAP BECAUSE WE'RE NOW INTO FROM THE 5TH TO THE 12TH INTO THE NIGHT TEAM THE WEEK 19. SO HINDSIGHT IS 20 20. AS I SAID EARLIER, I AM NOT AN ENGINEER BUT THE EXPECTATION THAT A COMPANY NOW THAT I CAN LOOK BACK AND SEE COULD BE ABLE TO DEPLOY MY EXPECTATION TO HAVE MY TEACHERS RIGHT NOW WITH FULL ACCESS AND THE SHELL MAY

NOT BE AS CAPABLE. >> WE MAY NOT BE THAT CAPABLE TO DO THAT AND HAVE DONE THE WORK WE DID AT THE FRONT END TIMELY ESPECIALLY RECOGNIZING THAT WE HAD TO TAKE SCHEDULING NOT ONE BUT TWO MASSIVE SCHEDULES PER SCHOOL. THOSE SCHOOLS HAD TO CONFIRM THEM IN ORDER FOR US TO PULL A COURSE HAD TO BE MARRIED TO THE COURSES IN K12.

SO WE'RE TELLING THEM FROM THE WEEK OF THE 19TH TO NOW ALMOST 11 DAYS TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO ENGINEERING WISE AGAIN I'M NOT AN ENGINEER BUT I I HAVE PUT A LOT OF WORK INTO OUR TEAM HAS AND DISTRICT INTO PUTTING INTO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT BEING ABLE TO ASSURE THAT WE'VE MARRIED WHAT OUR SCHOOLS HAVE THE SCHEDULING.

AND YES, IN A PERFECT WORLD I WANT. I WANT THAT INFORMATION NOW FROM MY TEACHERS. BUT WE DO HAVE ALTERNATE OPPORTUNITY OR CALENDAR FOR NEXT WEEK. WE HAVE RELEASED HIS CALENDAR READY TO PRINCIPALS.

THEY HAVE SHARE THE INFORMATION AND IN REALITY AS AS MR. DOWLING SHARED WITH SHARED DAY ONE IN DAY TO REALLY IS THAT OPPORTUNITY OF ME GETTING TO KNOW YOU RIGHT.

MUSIC EDUCATOR YOU AS MY STUDENT THAT IS THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS. SO I CAN'T SPEAK TO THE ENGINEERING AND STRUCTURE.

[02:40:01]

RIGHT. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT FROM YOURSELF AS WELL, SIR.

THANK YOU. >> ON NAZIR'S BOARD YOUR MEMBERS ARE STRONGLY REMOVED GIVEN TRYING TO LEARN AT THESE KIND OF THIS CONTRACT. BUT ACTUALLY DR. REID JUST MIGHT. MY NEXT QUESTION IS JUST THE LAST QUESTION.

THIS IS WHAT IS THE TIME LINE FOR THE RESOLVE OF THIS MOVE FORWARD AS WELL? WHAT ARE WE CAN EXPECT BECAUSE AT ONE TIME. WE DO HAVE TO I'M SURE WE I'M SURE THAT YOU HAVE A PLAN B IN AN. AND THE PLAN BUT ALSO YOU KNOW, JUST WAS OFFERED AND WAS OFFERED THIS. WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE TIMELINE

FOR THAT BEFORE THE RESOLVE THAT THE DISTRESS SITUATION. >> SO MR. SMITH, THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. WE WE HAVE A PLAN B THAT IS GONNA OPERATIONALIZE THAT IS THAT IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT OUR TEACHERS IN DELIVERY OF WHAT ARE THOSE WHAT THOSE TRADITIONAL FIRST WEEK ENGAGEMENTS ARE WITH OUR STUDENTS.

AND SO THAT IS FINE. YOU KNOW, IS IN PLACE AND WE'VE SPOKEN WITH OUR PRINCIPALS ABOUT THAT THIS MORNING. ADDITIONALLY, I THINK THAT WHAT WE NEED IS THAT INFORMATION THOSE LOG INS AND AND ACCESS TO THAT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT OUR TEACHERS CAN HAVE TIME TO FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES AFTER THEIR TRAINING THAT THEY'VE HAD FAMILIARIZE YOURSELVES WITH IT AND THEN AND THEN BE PREPARED TO UTILIZE IT WHEN THEY'RE READY TO ENGAGE IN IN THE CONTENT DELIVERY OR THE INSTRUCTIONAL CONTENT DELIVERY WHICH WHICH TYPICALLY CALMS IN

THAT SECOND WEEK. >> SCHOOL. SO.

SO ESSENTIALLY, YOU KNOW, WE NEED IT AND WE NEED IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

THAT WE HAVE SCHEDULED WITH THEM DAILY CONVERSATIONS WITH THAT THAT WE WILL HAVE TWICE A DAY. I'M SITTING IN ON THOSE CONVERSATION BECAUSE I'M MONITORING CLOSELY THE STATUS ON THAT NOW AND I AM FOLLOWING UP ON ON THAT ON A DAILY BASIS AND I'M ASKING THEM, YOU KNOW, QUITE FRANKLY VERY DIFFICULT QUESTIONS THAT WE WANT, YOU KNOW, RESPONSES TO AND THEY ARE YOU KNOW, ROLLING UP THEIR SLEEVES AND AND PUSHING ON THAT ESSENTIALLY THEY THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR NEED IS. THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT OUR EXPECTATIONS AND WHAT OUR ASK IS. AND WE HAVE SCHEDULED MONETARY CHECKS TWICE A DAY. THANK YOU, DR. RODRIGO. THANK YOU.

I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO HOPING THAT YOU WOULD PUT A TIMELINE TIMELINE DATE STAMP OF LEAD TIME WHERE I I WHAT I GATHER THAT YOU KIND OF YOU DON'T WANT DO EXACTLY THAT BUT I UNDERSTAND. WELL, I THINK THE ISSUE IS YOU SORT OF ASKING ME TO PUT A TIME

DAY ON IT BUT IT'S NOT MINE TO DELIVER. >> RIGHT.

I MEAN THEY HAVE TO DELIVER AND AND THEY UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURE THAT I'M PUTTING ON THEM TO DELIVER IT. AND I THINK WE'RE ALL WE'RE ALL CLEAR ON THAT AND THEY'RE WORKING TOWARDS TOWARDS MEETING THAT. BUT THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT TO SIT HERE AND TELL YOU I WILL HAVE IT ON SUCH AND SUCH A DAY BECAUSE I I'M NOT THE ENGINEER.

I CAN'T BUILD THAT PIECE OF IT. SO I DO TOGETHER. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. >> WE WE NEED TO MOVE ON THIS OUR SHACK NUMBER IS I WOULD YOU SAY AS WELL I DO APPRECIATE YOUR FRUSTRATION AS WELL THANKS TO MR. CHECK YOUR MEETING.

>> THANK YOU. I'VE MADE A FEW REQUESTS BY A CHAT.

I'D ALSO LIKE TO MAKE IT PUBLIC. IF WE COULD HAVE THE CONTRACT IN QUESTION, UPLOAD IT TO BOARD BOX THIS EVENING FOR ME. THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF DR. WISNIEWSKI COMMENTS THAT SHE WILL LIKELY HAVE A MOTION AT THE END OF THIS DISCUSSION FOR THE CONTRACT. BEST NUMBER ONE, I BELIEVE A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS BOIL DOWN TO ACCOUNTABILITY AND IT WAS THE BOARD WHO MADE THE DECISION TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT FOR OUR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS EVEN THOUGH IT CAME WITH A VERY STRONG RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF. IT IS THE BOARD WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE HERE BECAUSE WE DID IT AND WE DID MAKE THE DECISION.

SO I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK CONTRACT WHOEVER HAS IT AT THIS JUNCTURE IF WE COULD LOAD THAT

INTO PORT THAT'S I WOULD CERTAINLY BE APPRECIATE, SIR. >> MELVIN CAMPBELL THAT YOU

[02:45:13]

>> JOHN DOE HIT IT ON THE HEAD FOR THE MOST PART, FOLKS. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YOU BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM BUT A WHOLE WEEK CAN GO ALONG WITH DOING A LOT OF OTHER STUFF THAT COULD GET YOU MESS ONE FOR ME RIGHT FOR YOUR STUDENTS. THEY'RE LOGGING IN, GIVING THEM A LOG IN NUMBER AND A LOG IN NAME BECAUSE YOU'RE PROBABLY NOT REALLY BE ONE TO GET OFF OR GO TO THE TECHNICAL ASPECT OF EDUCATING. THERE'S SO MANY OTHER THINGS THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AND A LOT OF STUFF ARE TRANSFERABLE THAT YOU NEED TO RECORD.

AND A LOT OF STUFF THAT THAT ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE, NOT PERMANENT.

THERE ARE RECORDS KEEPING IS IS NOT PREVALENT. THANKS SO YOU KNOW, I THINK WE BE WE'RE MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLEHILL THERE IN TERMS OF THAT DELIVERABLE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, I KNOW YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT CONTRACT SAYS IS YOU KNOW, IS WATER OVER THE DAM RIGHT

NOW. >> WE'RE NOT GONNA GET THAT LOW AGAIN UNTIL DELIVER THOSE SLOGANS AND HOW FRANK CAN THE DISTRICT AND THE EDUCATORS GO FORWARD FROM THERE IS REALLY NOT OUR BUSINESS. LET'S HOPE THAT THEY GOT THESE IN PLACE.

THE TEACHERS, YOU KNOW, OPERATE WHAT IF THEY DIDN'T HAVE A K12 PROGRAM UP? SO I YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW. I THINK WE'RE BEATING A DEAD HORSE.

MISS PATRICK. >> THANK YOU, DR. BOGGS. MY CONCERN IS A LOT WHAT DR.

RODRIGUEZ ALREADY MENTIONED THE TEACHERS AND THE TEACHERS PREPARING AND BEING READY.

I AGREE THAT THE FIRST WEEK IS TYPICALLY A LOT OF GET TO KNOW YOU BUT I THINK THE VIDEO CONFERENCING, THE ZOOM THAT IS GOING TO IT'S NOT GOING TO TAKE A WHOLE WEEK.

IT'S GOING TO BE VERY DIFFERENT. ON THE ONLINE THAN IN PERSON.

SO I TRULY BELIEVE KIDS ARE HUNGRY. THEY ARE SO HUNGRY FOR LEARNING RIGHT NOW. TEACHERS ARE HUNGRY TO TEACH. SO THAT COMMENT I WOULD JUST LIKE TO MAKE IS THE SOONER WE CAN GET THESE LOGGINS SO THAT THE TEACHING AND LEARNING CAN START. IT WOULD BE SO APPRECIATED. COLONEL GEIER.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. >> I AGREE WITH ALL IT'S BEEN SAID ABOUT THE DIFFICULTIES OF GOING ONLINE AND DOING LOGGINS THROUGH THE PEOPLE FROM K12. YOU SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED HATED THAT TEACHERS NEED THEIR LOG INS EARLIER SO THAT THEY CAN GO IN AND LOOK AT THEIR COURSEWARE. NOW I UNDERSTAND THE DIFFICULTY HAVING RUN A VIRTUAL PROGRAM BEFORE OF GETTING LOG IN CREDENTIALS FOR OVER 10000 K THROUGH 12 OR K THROUGH EIGHT STUDENTS THAT K12 IS SUPPORTING BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HUNDREDS OF LOGGING CREDENTIALS FOR OUR TEACHERS AND I FIND THERE'S NO EXCUSE WHY THAT CAN'T BE DELIVERED IN TIME FOR THE TEACHERS TO GET IN TO THEIR COURSEWARE SO THAT THEY CAN START TO WORK ON THAT.

SO ON THE 8TH THEY'RE READY TO GO EVEN THOUGH THE STUDENT FOR YEARS UNTIL THE 8 BUT THE TEACHERS TO HAVE IT TO PLAY AROUND IN THE SYSTEM AND K12 YOU NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AND YOU NEED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN QUICKLY. AND I DON'T THINK THAT THERE'S ANY EXCUSE OF WHY OUR TEACHERS CAN'T GET A LOG PAY OR TWO AND IF YOU CAN'T DO IT, THEN I HAVE

REAL QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR PRACTICES SO MAKE IT HAPPEN. >> KATHY RUBIN, YOU'RE MUTED.

KATHY. >> SORRY I WAS GOING TO ECHO WHAT COLONEL GEIER SAID.

I THINK WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE OUR TEACHERS. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT THERE'S

[02:50:04]

AND I DO WISH THAT THE TWO THAT THE INSTRUCTOR LOGGINS WERE NOT TIED TO THE STUDENT LOGGINS THAT ARE BEING MAPPED WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND THAT WE CAN DELIVER THE THE CLASSROOM CREDENTIALS FOR DAY ONE TO THE INSTRUCTORS TODAY. WITHOUT QUESTION.

UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE TIED TOGETHER AS PART OF THE COURSE MAPPING AND SO FOR FOR RIGHT NOW THEY WILL HAVE THE SANDBOX CREDENTIALS AND THE TRAININGS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK

. >> MR. EARL CAMPBELL. >> YES.

HI. HI. I AGREE WITH WHAT MELVIN SAID.

I THINK BEATING A DEAD HORSE BUT I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT. I REALIZE THAT ARE PARENTS AND SOME EVEN SOME BOARD MEMBERS WANT FACE TO FACE. BUT WE HAVE 30 NEW CASES IN BEFORE COUNTRY TODAY. HE DIDN'T SAY WHAT SECTION OF DIFFICULTY BUT WE HAVE HAD 30 MORE CASES. SO I THINK WE SHOULD SHOULD SHOULD DO WHAT WE WILL SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO AND THEN GO FROM THERE. MAYBE I'LL DROP DOWN AND YOU HAVE ZERO AND THEN WE CAN GO FACE TO FACE. THANK YOU, MR. DOWLING.

>> I HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF COMMENTS AND I'LL MAKE IT QUICK.

THERE'S A MISMATCH IN STATEMENTS HERE. MY OUR SUPERINTENDENT SAYS THEY DID NOT ANTICIPATE THIS AND DR. STRATOS SAYS IT IS NOT THE CASE WAS NOT MEMORIALIZED IN THE CONTRACT. MR HOWARD SAYS IT WAS ALWAYS THE PLAN WHICH THAT COMMUNICATED TO WAS THAT IT WAS NOT GOING TO BE UNTIL THE EIGHTH AND WE GET THE INTERVIEW IN TIME TO DO BETTER THAN THAT. AND THEN THIRDLY TO ECHO MR. BYERS COMMENT.

HOW DID YOU EVER THINK THAT IT WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO DELIVER IT ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL? NOW I'M ASKING THESE QUESTIONS ONLY BECAUSE I'M GOING TO GET ASK THEM TOMORROW WHEN MY PHONE IS RINGING OFF THE HOOK. SO PLEASE INDULGE ME. SO ONE LAST THING.

ONE LAST IS THE AGE THE GOAL OR IS THAT A COMMITMENT? THERE'S A DIFFERENCE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO MEET GOALS. YOU HAVE TO MEET COMMITMENTS COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.

>> LAST QUESTION AND LIKE DR. STRATUS, UNFORTUNATELY I'M NOT A SYSTEMS ENGINEER BUT I WORK DIRECTLY WITH SYSTEMS ENGINEERS AND THEY'VE SHARED WITH ME THAT THE TARGET IS 9 4 DELIVERABLES . I WILL START WITH YOUR LAST QUESTION BECAUSE I'M I APOLOGIZE BUT YOUR SECOND QUESTION WAS A BIT GARBLED. I DIDN'T CATCH THE SECOND QUESTION BUT RELATED TO THE TIMING OF IT WE AGREE IT'S NOT IDEAL FOR FIRST DAY AND IN THE CURRENT PACE AND VOLUME THAT ARE BEING PROCESSED IS PROBABLY CREATING THE TIGHT TIMELINE.

HOWEVER, THAT BEING SAID, IT'S THE REASON THAT WE MOVED FORWARD WITH AS MANY TRAININGS AS WE MOVE FORWARD WITH FOR THE INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF. IT'S THE REASON THAT WE GOT SANDBOX CREDENTIALS IN THEIR HANDS AND DEMO CREDENTIALS FOR THEM TO GET FAMILIAR WITH IT.

AND WE ARE CONTINUING TO WORK WITH DR. STRATUS TO MEET OTHER NEEDS AND HELP FILL THOSE GAPS FOR THE LEARNING PLANS NEXT WEEK INCLUDING WHAT WE HAVE. I IDEALLY LAID OUT AS A WEEK OF WELCOME THAT HELPS STUDENTS FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH ONLINE LEARNING, FAMILIARIZE THEMSELVES WITH THE PLAN THAT INSTRUCTOR IN PLACE ANYWAY IN THAT CLASS BUT ALSO ON OUR

PLATFORM. >> OKAY. THAT HELPS ME.

[02:55:01]

WHEN YOU DROP THIS BOMB ON THE SYSTEM. >> IF THE DISTRICT GIVES ME MR GARLING SAID THE LANGUAGE HAS BEEN PRESENTED IN CONVERSATION WITH STUDENT LOGGINS DEPLOYMENT ON SEPTEMBER 8TH AS THAT WAS FROM MY SEAT SIR, I WOULD SAY IT WAS A DEPLOYMENT ON SEPTEMBER 8TH. YES, THAT'S THE FIRST DAY FOR STUDENTS RELATIONSHIP OF THAT LANGUAGE TO INCLUDE MY TEACHERS WAS NOT EMBEDDED TO ME TO TO THE DEPTH UNTIL LAST WEEK AS I HAD A CONVERSATION WITH K 12 IN DEPTH AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK CONTINUED THAT CONVERSATION WITH THEM ON FRIDAY, CONTINUED DECLINE AND EVEN OUR STUDENT LOG IN AND THAT WAS MY INTERPRETATION OF LANGUAGE WAS THAT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE THAT I WANTED TO GIVE OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO BE IN THE VIRTUAL I AGREE.

I AGREE. I AGREE WITH YOU. THE I THINK YOU GOT SURPRISED

DESPITE ALL THE BUZZWORDS AND ALL THE WORK AROUNDS. >> I THINK I SURPRISED DR.

WISNIEWSKI. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. YES, I PUT A STAMP MOTION OR EMOTION IN THE CHAT BOX HERE. HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY CAN SEE IT .

BUT FOR THE PUBLIC WHICH I DON'T KNOW IF THEY CAN SEE THE CHAT BOX STATES I MOVE THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT BRING FOR BOARD CONSIDERATION AN AMENDMENT TO THE K 12 A CONTRACT TO INCLUDE DELIVERABLES AND RESPECTIVE DEADLINES A SECOND FLOOR DISCUSSION.

>> GO AHEAD DUFFERS NOW SCOOT. YES, I'M SURE I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO BE THE AMENDMENT WOULD LIKELY BE AVAILABLE PRIOR TO THAT 9 8 DATE.

HOWEVER, I DO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT MOVING FORWARD SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE THIS IS A YEAR LONG CONTRACT WE ARE IN ESSENTIALLY A PILOT PERIOD OF USING THIS LEARNING MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ALSO WHEN WE APPROACH OTHER PERTINENT DATES SUCH AS TESTING DEADLINES YOU KNOW THE THE TESTING THAT'S GOING TO OCCUR FOR ALL OF OUR STUDENTS WITH THIS PLATFORM. SO I THINK THAT WE NEED TO HAVE DELIVERABLE DELIVERABLES AND DEADLINES PUT INTO AN AMENDED FOR THE CONTRACTS AND THERE ARE NO MORE SURPRISES IN THE FUTURE

. >> MR. CHECK. SO OUR REQUEST THAT THE BOARD RECEIVE THE COPY OF THE CONTRACT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING FOR DOGS.

IS SOMEONE ABLE TO AT LEAST RESPOND TO MY REQUEST? >> DR. RODRIGUEZ, ARE YOU ABLE

TO. >> WE'LL HAVE TO WE'LL HAVE TO UPLOAD A OR E-MAIL IT OR GET IT TO THE BOARD. I DON'T HAVE IT TANGIBLE WITH ME TO DELIVER THAT TO MR.

DISTRIBUTOR. >> THANK YOU, MA'AM. SURE.

IT'S FOR MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT EXPECTING OUR TEACHERS EVEN THOUGH THE FIRST FEW DAYS ARE GETTING TO KNOW THAT THE STUDENTS I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT EXPECTING THEM TO TO WORK THAT FULL DAY AND THEN LEARN HOW TO WORK THE K 12 IN THE EVENINGS.

I JUST GOT AN UNEASY FEELING WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT THAT YOU KNOW, THEY THEY DO THEIR WORK DAY AND THEN IN THE EVENINGS THEY COULD PLAY AROUND WITH K12 THINK IT'S KIND OF UNREALISTIC TO EXPECT THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY'VE SHOWN THEIR DEDICATION THEY'LL PROBABLY DO IT. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE DON'T EXPECT THAT THAT'S

CORRECT. >> I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT I HAVEN'T SAID HARDLY ANYTHING TO THIS NOTION I ASSUME WOULD REQUIRE AGREEMENT ON THE TWO PARTIES TO AMEND THE CONTRACT.

NORMALLY YOU DON'T JUST AMEND UNILATERALLY FROM ONE SIDE. SO AND ALSO WE'RE GOING TO BE NEGOTIATING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONTRACT THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT PERHAPS DR.

RODRIGUEZ WILL WANT TO COME BACK TO US IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.

THE CURRENT CONTRACT WOULD BE PUBLIC OBVIOUSLY, BUT AMENDING THE CONTRACT WOULD BE SOMETHING

[03:00:06]

>> SO AT THIS TIME I BELIEVE WE WE WE NEED TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT TO I MEAN A MOTION TO EXTEND OR WE WANT NEED TO COME BACK TOMORROW AND RESUME THE BOARD MEETING.

>> MR. SMITH, THAT THE MOTION WAS TO END THE MEETINGS AT 915 .

WE DO NOT HAVE ANY PUBLIC COMMENT. SO WE STILL HAVE 15 MINUTES TO GO. SO I WOULD SUGGEST WE CONTINUE OUR DIALOG UNTIL WE GET TO 50 UNTIL WE GET TO THAT TIME. SO. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY FURTHER COMMENTS THAT ARE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED QUITE A FEW TIMES BY

EVERYBODY IS OK. >> MR. DOWLING, I WOULD SUGGEST THAT WE MOVE ALONG BECAUSE ANY CONVERSATION BEYOND THE MOTION ITSELF IS GOING TO BE CONSIDERED NEGOTIATION IF WE TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS AND THAT HAS THERE IS GOING TO SOUND STRANGE COMING FROM ME

BUT THIS IS DEFINITELY EXECUTIVE SESSION MATERIAL. >> SO I SUGGEST THAT WE ALL THE MOTION REQUIRES THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT BRING TO THE BOARD FOR CONSIDERATION AN AMENDMENT. THAT'S IT. SO LET'S VOTE ON THAT AND THEN CARRY ON. I GET A LOT HANDS OFF THAT HAVE NOT GONE DOWN.

>> SO DOES STILL TALK ABOUT THE MOTION ON THE TABLE? >> MR. FRANK, THAT'S A QUESTION

BEFORE YOU GO AHEAD, SIR. >> ONE CONTRACT WE TALKING ABOUT FUTURES CONTRACT KNOW THE

K12 LEARNING SOLUTIONS CONTRACT . >> OH, OK.

ALL RIGHT. MR. STRIP UNDER THE MUTED I'M SORRY I'M I'M TRYING TO GET MY

HAND DOWN BUT FOR SOME REASON IT WON'T COME DOWN. >> OK.

TAWFIQ, DO WE NEED TO DISCUSS HERE? WELL, BECAUSE SHE PUTS THE BOARD TO CREATE THE CONTRACT IS IT AVOIDS DECISION HERE AS YOU NEGOTIATE? OR IS IT. ARE WE LEAVING THAT TO DR. RIBAUT GETS DR. WISNIEWSKI MADE

THE MOTION. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY CLARIFICATION?

DR. LASKY I'M NOT NECESSARILY. >> I FIGURED THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT WOULD GO AND SPEAK WITH THE SENIOR STAFF ABOUT WHAT WOULD BE DELIVERABLES AND REPORT BACK TO US AND WE WOULD EITHER, YOU KNOW, ADD OUR INPUT AND IT UP OR DOWN.

THAT WAS THE WAY I SAW IT. OK. >> ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE READY TO VOTE UNLESS SOMEONE WANTS TO MAKE AN AMENDMENT.

SO DAVID, YOUR HAND IS DOWN, CORRECT. >> BUT IT WON'T GO DOWN.

YEAH. >> I CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT DOWN. I'M SORRY.

MAYBE MOLLY OR ROBIN CAN. SO LET'S OPEN. OK.

VOTING IS NOW OPEN. >> YES. MR. EARL CAMPBELL.

NO. >> NO. OK.

>> IT'S TACTICAL AT I'LL SAY YES. NO DIRE.

>> YES. >> IT'S ALWAYS EMOTION CARRIES 6 4 1 6 YESES DARLING GOD'S GIVEN JR KWASNIEWSKI WILL SMITH AND GAIA KNOWS. EARL CAMPBELL.

KATHY ROWE BY MELVIN CAMPBELL AND FED RICH AND THE ABSTENTION IS MISERY SHACK.

[03:05:05]

>> DR. RODRIGUEZ NO. >> I HAVE ONE MORE ITEM TO SHARE WITH THE BOARD.

OK. I JUST WANT TO LET THE BOARD KNOW THE PUBLIC KNOW WE ARE SCHEDULED TO END THE MEETING IN 10 MINUTES AND SO IF WE'RE GONNA GO BEYOND THAT, WE EITHER NEED TO TAKE A VOTE. WE CANNOT RECONVENE TOMORROW NIGHT BECAUSE WE'RE HAVING THE INTERVIEWS FOR THE FORENSIC AUDIT FIRMS. AND SO THE NEXT TIME THAT THE REMAINING AGENDA ITEMS WOULD BE DISCUSSED WOULD BE AT THE SEPTEMBER 15TH MEETING AND THAT IS PER WENDY HAVING DISCUSSED THIS WITH HELEN MCFADDEN. YOU CAN'T JUST LOCK THEM ON TO SOME OTHER LIKE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING OR WHATEVER. SO YOU GET 10 MINUTES.

LET'S ROCK AND ROLL. GO AHEAD. OK.

WE SPENT SOME TIME LOOKING INTO HOW BEST TO SERVE OUR LOW INTEREST IN STUDENT IN SPECIAL EDUCATION AND DURING THE FORWARD OPENING OF SCHOOL. AT THIS TIME WE'VE GOING TO TURN OVER TO DR. BRADLEY TO SHARE INFORMATION WITH YOU IN A CONCISE MANNER.

>> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, DR. RODRIGUEZ. MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'LL TRY TO BE BRIEF BUT THOROUGH.

SO IS DR. RODRIGUEZ MENTIONED SINCE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WE WOULD START THE YEAR IN A VIRTUAL FORMAT, WE'VE REALLY BEEN THINKING ABOUT WHETHER THERE WAS A GROUP OR POPULATION OF STUDENTS THAT WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SERVE? WELL, IN THAT DESIGN, ALTHOUGH WE'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THAT FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION IS WHAT WE DESIRE FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE'VE AT LEAST HAD THE CONFIDENCE THAT A VIRTUAL PLATFORM WOULD ALLOW US TO REACH MOST KIDS BUT NOT ALL. SO IT'S NOT ALL THAT WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP TEAM QUICKLY REALIZE THAT STUDENTS WITH SEVERE PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES WAS A GROUP THAT WE NEEDED TO THINK DIFFERENTLY ABOUT HOW BEST TO SERVE. AND SO TO BE CLEAR WHEN WE SAY SEVERE WE MEAN STUDENTS WITH SIGNIFICANT INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY, PHYSICAL DISABILITIES, STUDENTS WHO ARE SERVED IN AUTISM FOCUSED CLASSROOM STUDENTS WHO REQUIRE INSTRUCTION RELATED TO VISION IMPAIRMENT AND STUDENTS WHO ARE MEDICALLY DECLARED AS DEAF ARE HARD OF HEARING.

OUR FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IN EVALUATING HOW BEST TO SERVE THESE STUDENTS WAS TO GO BACK AND REVISIT OLD PARENT DATA. WE FOUND THAT ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH SEVERE DISABILITIES ACTUALLY SIGNED UP FOR FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION WHICH QUITE FRANKLY WAS FAIRLY PREDICTABLE. THAT'S ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX FAMILIES OUT OF ABOUT 220 WHICH IS A LITTLE OVER 60 PERCENT. WE THEN POLLED OUR TEACHERS TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS SOME COLLECTIVE WILLINGNESS TO WORK IN BUILDINGS TO SERVE THESE CHILDREN. TWENTY THREE OUT OF TWENTY FIVE EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO DO SO.

THAT'S OBVIOUSLY A LITTLE BIT OVER 90 PERCENT. SO THESE FINDINGS ALTOGETHER HAVE GIVEN US CONFIDENCE THAT WE COULD AT LEAST MOVE FORWARD WITH THE EFFORT TO TRY TO SERVE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE AT INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL SITES. NOW WE'VE ALWAYS MAINTAINED THAT VIRTUAL LEARNING IS NOT AS IDEAL AS FACE TO FACE INSTRUCTION AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY EVIDENT WHEN IT COMES TO MEETING THE NEEDS OF OUR PHYSICALLY AND INTELLECTUALLY CHALLENGED STUDENTS. SO WHEN WE SAY THAT WE WANT SUCCESS FOR OUR KIDS, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE MEAN AND AS A CONSEQUENCE WE ARE BEGINNING TO TAKE STEPS TO POSITION OUR STUDENTS WELL REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY COME TO US WITH CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. SO IN ESSENCE WHAT WE'RE SAYING IS THAT WE ARE THINKING THAT WE WOULD SERVE THESE YOUNG PEOPLE A BIG IN A FACE TO FACE SETTING BEGINNING IN WEEK TWO ON SEPTEMBER 14TH. OF COURSE WE WOULD PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION BREAKFAST GRABBING ALL LUNCHES FOR THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. AND WE WILL LIKELY SERVE THEM IN A BEEBE HYBRID SCHEDULE FOR HALF DAYS ONLY. THE REASON THAT WE'RE BRINGING THIS TO THE BOARD THIS MORNING THIS EVENING IS WE THINK THAT IT IS OBVIOUSLY DESERVING OF CONVERSATION BECAUSE WE HAVE CLEARLY SAID A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT WE WOULD BEGIN THE YEAR IN A VIRTUAL SETTING FOR ALL STUDENTS.

BUT LIKE I MENTIONED A LITTLE BIT EARLIER, THERE IS A SMALL POPULATION YOUNG PEOPLE THAT WE ARE NOT CONFIDENT AT ALL THAT WE COULD BE ABLE TO MEET EVEN THEIR MOST BASIC ACADEMIC NEEDS. NOW VIRTUAL SETTING AND THAT IS AGAIN THOSE STUDENTS WITH SEVERE AND SIGNIFICANT INTELLECTUAL AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES.

SO WE ARE HOPING AND PLANNING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SERVING THESE YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS SETTING AND WANTED TO BEGIN TO MAKE THAT INTRODUCTION TO THE BOARD FOR DISCUSSION IF

NECESSARY TO EVENING DOCTORS AND NETSCAPE. >> YES.

[03:10:03]

AND I'M JUST VERY GRATEFUL. FREDERICK DID DITTO TO A DR. WISNIEWSKI SAID NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. THE TEACHER REPORTS SAYING HOW MANY WILL GO INTO THE CLASSROOM WORK WITH OUR OUR NEEDIEST STUDENTS AND EXCELLENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

MR. MARQUIS WOULD BE WELL FIRST OFF TO THINK THANK YOU FOR YOU WOULD THINK IT CONSIDERATION BECAUSE THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT I THOUGHT I WAS VERY WAS VERY IMPORTANT MOVING FORWARD.

BUT WHY MY QUESTION WOULD BE WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEFORE THEY YEAH.

>> SO YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER THAT THESE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH SEVERE PHYSICAL AND INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES. SO IT'S ACTUALLY VERY DIFFICULT TO ROLL OUT AN ACADEMIC PROGRAM THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THESE YOUNG PEOPLE GIVEN THEIR LIMITATIONS IN A FULL DAY SETTING. DR. WHITE CAN PROBABLY SPEAK A LITTLE BIT MORE TO TO TO THAT

QUESTION THOUGH. SO I HAD A LITTLE BIT TO THAT. >> SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE REQUIRE WHEN THEY'RE IN SCHOOL WE USE A MAINSTREAM A LOT OF THESE KIDS INTO SPECIAL RELATED ARTS PE AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT ENVIRON WITH THE OTHER KIDS, THE TYPICAL KIDS.

THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY NECESSARY TO KEEP THEM THERE FOR THOSE SERVICES.

THEY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THOSE CLASSES IN A VIRTUAL MODEL BECAUSE REMEMBER WE ONLY BRING BRINGING THEM IN TWO DAYS A WEEK FROM EIGHT TO ONE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT TRANSITION TIMES. ALL THOSE OTHER THINGS THAT USUALLY EXTEND THE DAY FOR THIS FOR THAT PURPOSE. ONCE ALL STUDENTS ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN TO CAMPUS THEN THAT DAY WITH THEM BECAUSE THEY'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO INTERACT MORE WITH TYPICALLY DEVELOPING PEERS AS REQUIRED BY A ALSO.

WELL WHAT ABOUT CARE? I'M SORRY. >> SO THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

DR. RODRIGUEZ, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO RESPOND TO THAT? ARE WE.

YEP. YEAH. SO WE HAVE BEEN REALLY FOR THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS IN AN EXPLORATORY PROCESS RIGHT. NOT MAKING ANY GUARANTEES THAT WE COULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE CHILD CARE FOR OUR STAFF MEMBERS.

BUT AT THE VERY LEAST WE FELT LIKE AS WE WERE MONITORING THE METRICS AND WE WERE SEEING THAT THEY WERE COMING DOWN THAT AT SOME POINT OR OR ANOTHER WE WOULD BE TRANSITIONING TO A FACE TO FACE OR HYBRID MODEL. AND IF WE WERE GOING TO DO THAT, WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE COULD LAUNCH OR COMMUNICATE TO OUR STAFF MEMBERS THAT WE HAD DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE AROUND EVALUATING ASSESSING OUR CAPACITY AND ABILITY TO PROVIDE SHY CHILD CARE. THE STATE IS ACTUALLY PROVIDED SOME GUIDANCE FOR WHAT DISTRICTS NEEDED TO DO. THERE ARE A LOT OF SURROUNDING DISTRICTS THAT ARE PROVIDING CHILD CARE. SO WE'VE NOT MADE A COMMITMENT TO THAT END.

BUT I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY BEGUN HAVING CONVERSATIONS INTERNALLY AND COLLECTING DATA TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE CHILD CARE FOR OUR STAFF AS WE GET CLOSER TO THE POSSIBILITIES OF EITHER FACE TO FACE OR YOU KNOW, OPPORTUNITY AND AND A HYBRID MODEL IN ORDER FOR OUR TEACHERS TO BE ABLE TO DELIVER THE INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES AND DELIVER INSTRUCTION TO ALL STUDENTS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

>> THAT IS SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO TO BE AVAILABLE TO DO IN ORDER TO DO THAT THAT CHILD CARE COMPONENT BECOMES A FACTOR. THAT'S WHAT DR. BRADLEY IS

TALKING ABOUT. >> RIGHT. BUT ALSO ARE WE ASSURED THAT THE PARENTS HOME TO WE SEE THESE KIDS AS WELL. THAT'S A GREAT CONCERN AS WELL

HOW WE PROCEED. >> I'M SORRY. >> I'M NOT SURE I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE ASKING. YOU MEAN YOU MEAN AFTER THE HALF DAY?

IS THAT YOUR QUESTION? YES, SIR. >> RIGHT.

I HAVEN'T SPEAK TO THE THINGS THAT WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE TO DO AS REQUIRED BY LDA IS WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO MEET WITH THESE PARENTS AND DISCUSS WHAT THOSE OPTIONS ARE.

AND MOST OF THEM WOULD BE WHERE I WILL TELL YOU A LARGE NUMBER OF THE PARENTS WE'RE REFERRING TO HAVE ALREADY REACHED OUT TO ME ABOUT WANTED SOME OPTION FOR THEIR KIDS IN SOME SHAPE, FORM OR FASHION. SO WE WILL WORK WITH PARENTS TO TRAIN TEACHERS BEGINNING TO ALL

[03:15:01]

WE EXTEND THE MEETING TILL 10:00. >> CAN I GET A SECOND SECOND BECAUSE OF IT? AND THE REASON WHY I'M ASKING TO SO NOW ROBIN, DID YOU HEAR

THAT? >> YES, MA'AM. OKAY.

MR. SMITH, TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 10:00 P.M. AND MR. DOWLING SECOND AT ANY

DISCUSSION CAMPBELL. >> NO. I WANT TO I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THE ABOUT THOSE SPECIAL LEESBURG. OK, HOLD ON.

FACE TO FACE PROGRAM. BUT I DON'T NEED TO MAKE IT. I MEAN I WOULD JUST COMPLIMENT THEM AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY NEEDED FROM US. WELL, I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T THEY DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING FROM MY SON. IN FACT, YOU KNOW, I JUST BLOOD EFFORT. WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WOULD SAY VERY QUICKLY ON MCDONALD WHEN I WENT DOWN THE STAIRS MOST ON THE FLOOR IS TO EXTEND THE MEETING TO 10:00 AND I WOULD JUST SAY THE REASON WHY I'VE ASKED TO EXTEND THIS MEETING BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS TOPIC AND I DOESN'T DISCERNIBLE WHY WOW. WOW.

WE'RE ON THIS TOPIC THAT IT NEEDS TO BE DISCUSSED TONIGHT AND ALSO THIS WOULD BE THE SECOND TIME THAT WE'VE STOPPED ONE OF DR. BRADLEY'S IMPORTANT IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS AND I THINK THAT. AND I THINK THAT WE CAN GET IT DONE BY 10:00.

AND THIS IS VERY WE HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE ASKING ABOUT BACK TO ME ABOUT WHAT HE'S

TALKING. SO THAT'S MY NEXT MEETING. >> ALL RIGHT.

VOTING IS NOW OPEN. SO I'M NOT ALLOWED TO DISCUSS ANY MORE THAN YOU DID BEFORE

WITH OUR REPORTING. >> LAURA. >> MR. CAMPBELL, I MISUNDERSTOOD YOU BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU DIDN'T HAVE IT.

>> I DIDN'T SAY THAT BUT I DID MADE MY COMMENT DUE TO THIS MOTION.

AND WHAT ELSE WAS GOING ON PRIOR TO IT? ALL RIGHT.

I'LL GO. YES. MR. EARL CAMPBELL.

>> OH, THAT'S GOT A TURN, RIGHT? YES.

OK. I HOPE IT DOESN'T IF IT GOES PAST EVERY LITTLE VOTE AGAIN.

>> YES. OH YES, MR. MR. DOWLING.

>> YES. THE MOTION CARRIES 10 1. NO, NO.

IT'S MR. SCHACHER. OK, SO CONTINUE. DR. BRADLEY, I WAS JUST GOING TO COMMENT TO MR. CAMPBELL THAT ON THE QUESTION OF WHAT WE NEED FROM THE BOARD, WE WANTED TO WE HAVE NOT YET ACTIVATED OUR OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT PLAN RELATIVE TO SERVING OUR SEVERE

AND PROFOUND OR LOW INCIDENT STUDENTS. >> YES.

YES. AS A MATTER OF RESPECT TO THE BOARD.

SO WE JUST WANTED TO JUST SO WE WILL BEGIN THAT PROCESS FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING.

BUT WE JUST FELT LIKE IT WAS WORTH BRINGING TO THE BOARD TO EXPRESS OUR INTENTIONS.

GOING FORWARD. SO WE JUST REALLY SIMPLY WANTED TO TAKE SOME TIME TO DO THAT THIS EVENING BEFORE ANY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT WITH REGARD TO THIS EFFORT.

>> GOOD. I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT. WE APPRECIATE IT. WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE ROLL OUT

. >> WELL, I DON'T. WE DON'T HAVE TO VOTE ON ANYTHING. THAT'S ALL I WAS IMPLYING. TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT FROM THE BOARD, DR. RODRIGUEZ AND ESSENTIALLY YOU REALLY CONCLUDE OUR SUPERINTENDENT REPORT.

SO. ALL RIGHT. AND THIS IS DATA.

OBVIOUSLY THIS TOPIC IS REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT TO TO ALL OF US.

[03:20:05]

>> THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. I JUST HAVE TWO QUICK QUESTIONS.

ONE IS DR. AGAINST OUR CURRENT ENROLLMENT NUMBERS. YES, MA'AM.

WE ARE RIGHT NOW APPROACHING 20 TWO THOUSAND. WE'RE AT ABOUT TWENTY ONE

THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY I BELIEVE. >> RIGHT.

DO YOU HAVE WHAT WE WERE PROJECTED TO HAVE? I DON'T HAVE THAT WITH ME.

I'M SORRY. CHECK IT OUT. YEAH, WE WE CAN GET THAT TO AND THEN THE OTHER QUESTION IS REGARDING SCHEDULES. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE'S SOME DISPARITY BETWEEN RIVAL SCHOOLS AND IN THAT SOME ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS ARE OPERATING ON DIFFERENT SCHEDULES THAN OTHERS. AND IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM A PREVIOUS CONVERSATION WE HAD THAT OUR LAST MEETING WAS THAT ALL THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WERE GOING TO BE THE SAME ALL THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS WERE GOING TO BE THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL.

I WANTED TO INQUIRE ABOUT THAT. >> DR. BRADLEY, DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO CHECK INTO THAT TODAY

OR IS THERE A COMMENT YOU WANT TO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS THAT? >> SO FIRST OF ALL, WE HAVE REALLY BEEN CLEAR WITH PRINCIPALS THAT 4 PER GRADE LEVELS ALL OF THEIR DAILY SCHEDULES SHOULD BE THE EXACT SAME. MY SENSE IS THAT THERE HAS BEEN A BIT OF A GLITCH OF COMMUNICATION WITH PERHAPS OUR SCHOOLS THAT HAVE KINDERGARTEN THROUGH EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS. HAVE THEY BOTH THEY HAVE BOTH ELEMENTARY AND MIDDLE GRADE STUDENTS. WE HAVE A CONFERENCE CALL SCHEDULED FOR THEM TOMORROW SO WE CAN RECTIFY SOME OF THAT. SOME OF THOSE MISCOMMUNICATION OR MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND WE WILL CLARIFY PUBLICLY FOR OUR PARENTS AND FAMILIES SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONFUSION GOING

INTO DAY ONE. >> OKAY. WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU. YES. SMITH ONE OF MY MY CONCERNS MOVING FORWARD. I THINK THAT DOING A HALF DAYS THAT WE'RE DOING AN INJUSTICE TO OUR PARENTS BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THEM TO HAVE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT NOW IF THEY DO GET TO WORK OR THEY DO CHANGE A SCHEDULE AND HOW AND HOW AND WHO AND WHAT WILL THEY HAVE TO DO TO GET SOMEONE TO RICHIE WE TREAT THAT KID OFF OF THE BUS.

I THINK THAT GIVING A KID A WHOLE A HALF DAY VERSUS A WHOLE DAY IS AN INJUSTICE BUT ALSO IN THE PROCESS OF EVEN HAVING A KID IN A HALF A YOU CAN'T CRAM EVERYTHING WITHIN A MATTER OF FOUR OR FIVE HOURS IF YOU DO WITHIN A WHOLE DAY. MY QUESTION IS WILL IT BE BETTER FOR THE KID BECAUSE YOU CAN BREAK IT DOWN AND THAT KID CAN GET A BREAK IN THE MIDST OF BEING THERE IN A FULL DAY VERSUS HALF A IS IS BASICALLY YOU CRAMMING EVERYTHING IN AND I'M NOT SURE AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'VE FELT WE THOUGHT ABOUT JUST WHY QUESTION SOMEONE TALKED TO ME ON THAT, DR. WHITE.

YES. >> A ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE TO CONSIDER IS THE IEP INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PROGRAM DRIVES THE SERVICES FOR THE STUDENT.

>> SO BASED WAS EACH STUDENT'S IEP IS WHAT'S GOING TO DRIVE THAT DAY.

THE OTHER SMALL PART OF THE GROUP THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ARE THE KIDS THAT SPEND THE MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME WITH A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER FOR MOST OF THE DAY AGAIN AS PART OF THE IEP. THEY ARE MAINSTREAM AND WE DO NOT HAVE THE LUXURY OF THOSE STUDENTS TYPICAL DEVELOPING STUDENTS COMING INTO THE BUILDING AT THAT TIME.

SO IT'S FROM 8 TO 1 WHICH IS A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN HALF A DAY YOU KNOW, 8 A.M. TO 1.

I MEAN WE CAN ADJUST THE TIME IF WE NEED TO BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A PROPOSAL RIGHT NOW.

BUT I DON'T THINK THAT WE ARE DOING A DISSERVICE THAT GEE, I THINK WE'RE IN A REALLY GREAT JOB AND BRING THEM IN. WHAT YOU ALL HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE JUGGLING WHAT IS PRESCRIBED IN THE IEP ALONG WITH WHAT WE HAVE IN THE GENERAL EDUCATION SATCHER THAT SOME OF THESE KIDS GO TO SO THEY WON'T BE TRAVELING FOR IT WHEN YOU MANUFACTURE THAT AND A WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FIVE HOURS AND WE SOME OF THE TIME IS SPENT TRANSITIONING FROM ONE LOCATION TO THE OTHER TRANSITION AND TO RECESS TRANSITION INTO THE LUNCHROOM AND WHEN YOU CALCULATE THOSE TIMES ABOUT AN HOUR, HOUR AND A

HALF SOMETIMES OF JUST TRANSITION SURFACES. >> THE OTHER THING THAT THEY'LL BE GETTING TO IS NOT ONLY THE ACADEMIC SERVICES BUT THEIR THERAPY SERVICES THAT THEY MAY HAVE OUTLINED IN THE IEP. SO JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND. THAT'S WHY THE TIME FRAME WAS AS SUCH. AND REMEMBER THAT ALL THOSE KIDS OPTED FOR FACE TO FACE.

SO WE STILL HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT SOME OF MY TEACHERS STILL HAVE TO DELIVER SOME VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION ON OTHER DAYS AS WELL. SO IN RECOGNIZING THAT AND

[03:25:02]

>> AND THAT'S YOU KNOW, THAT THAT THAT THAT THOSE SOME OF JUST SOME OF MY MAIN CONCERNS

ON THAT UNDER THIS AS WELL. >> I UNDERSTAND. THANK DALLA.

MR. DOWLING, DR. BRADLEY OR DR. STRATOS MANY OR SOME OF OUR SPECIAL EDUCATE STUDENTS OR WHEN YOU TAKE CARE OF THERE IS A STRONG CHANCE IN LIKELIHOOD OF THE TRANSMISSION OF BODILY FLUIDS THE TEACHERS THAT TAKE CARE OF THESE KIDS TO BE HAVE EXTRA REPEAT P E EQUIPMENT LIKE HOSPITAL GOWN OR SOMETHING WIFE DID. TWELVE YEARS AT BLUFF AND A SEVERE AND PROFOUND GROAN AND SHE WAS THROWN UP ON AND SHE WAS COUGHED ON VIRTUALLY EVERY TYPE OF TRANSFERRED BODILY FLUIDS THAT YOU CAN IMAGINE AND AND THAT TYPE OF PRECAUTION I THINK WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. YES, SIR.

YES, SIR. DR. WHITE SO CORRECT. >> SO WE HAVE ALL SCHOOLS WERE GIVEN THE STANDARD P P E FOR EVERY TEACHER IN THE BUILDING IN ADDITION TO SOME OF OUR POPULATION OF KIDS. WE WENT AS A TEAM AND DEFINED THE ADDITIONAL PPD THAT WILL BE NEEDED FOR ITS UP PICTURES THE GOWNS WE DEFINED THOSE WE WORK IN WITH SEVERAL OTHER DISTRICT PARTNERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THOSE FOR THEM SO WE HAVE LOTS OF THAT JUST RATTLES.

BACK IN MARCH IN ANTICIPATION FOR THIS COMING OUT WE HAD ORDERED A BUNCH OF ADDITIONAL PPE. AND WE GOT SOME ASSISTANCE FROM THE STATE IN SUPPLEMENTAL IDEA DOLLARS TO HELP THE STATES WITH THOSE THINGS AS WELL. SO YES.

AND WE HAVE MAPPED OUT EXACTLY WHAT WE SHOULD DO IF I SAT IN A TOILET, AN AREA AUTHORS AND A LIFE SKILLS AREA OR A SENSORY ROOM AREAS ALL THE DIFFERENT CLEANING PROTOCOLS THAT WE NEED TO EMPLOY FOR THOSE AS WELL AS WELL TEACHING THEM AND USING MARKERS IN THE CLASSROOM TO DEFINE SOCIAL JUSTICE AND FOR KIDS AS WELL. SO THE TEACHERS ALSO HAVE FACE MASKS WITH CLEAR CUT OUT BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO SEE THEIR MOUTH AS A SPEECH THERAPIST. YES, DEFINITELY WANT THEM TO SEE MY MOUTH.

THEY ALSO HAVE FACE SHIELDS WHERE THEY CAN DO THAT. AND WORKING WITH MR. OUT AND HIS STAFF, WE HAVE SOME PORTABLE PLEXIGLAS LIKE DEVICES FOR STUDENT DESKS.

BUT GETTING SOME A LITTLE BIT MORE STURDY ARE ONES FOR CERTAIN SETTINGS LIKE A SPEECH THERAPIST OR A PHYSICAL THERAPIST OR SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST WHO MAY NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT SOCIAL DISTANCING AS MUCH BECAUSE OF TESTING THAT WE HAVE THAT IN PLACES. SO ALL OF THAT HAS BEEN THOUGHT OUT AND PUT IN PLACE AND READY TO GO FOR TEACHERS AND THEY ASK ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS BEFORE THEY READ DESERVED.

>> THANK YOU, DR. WHITE. >> I'M SURE THAT YOU REALIZE I WAS NOT EXAGGERATING.

>> OH NO, NOT AT ALL POTENTIAL? NO, NOT AT ALL. I DO UNDERSTAND THIS MYTH.

>> THANK YOU. MY QUESTION IS DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT THE DAY WILL LOOK LIKE AND IN THE LENGTH OF THE DAY AND WOULD START TIME IN EXCESS OF SO YES, A LITTLE

START AT 8:00. >> WE HAVE SOME SAMPLES SCHEDULED TODAY.

OBVIOUSLY SOME OF IT WILL BE INDIVIDUALIZED BASED ON THE SETUP OF THE KIDS BUT THERE WILL BE SOME KIDS THAT WOULD CONTINUE THE WHOLE GROUP INSTRUCTION WHILE OTHERS ARE SET ASIDE FOR THEIR THERAPY. WE HAVE A PARENT RESOURCE GUIDE THAT WE ARE GETTING FINAL APPROVAL FROM THE STRATUS AND BRADLEY TO PLACE ON OUR WEBSITE THAT SHOW SAMPLE SCHEDULES AS WELL FOR PARENTS AND I'LL BE DISCUSSING THOSE AS PARENTS CALL ME.

THE TEACHERS WILL REALLY BE MEETING WITH THE PARENTS AND GOING THROUGH WHAT THAT DAY WILL LOOK LIKE. BUT YES, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY STRUCTURED AND THE ONE THING IS WHEN WE CLOSE IN MARCH, APRIL AND MAY. THAT WAS AN EMERGENCY.

WE HAD TIME TO PLAN AND TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR INSTRUCTION AND OUR SERVICES ARE GOING TO BE SOLID AND GOING TO BE GOOD AND PARENTS EXPECT THAT FROM US AND WE AND I EXPECT THAT US TO DO THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO FREE KIDS. SO YES, WE'LL HAVE THOSE SAMPLE SCHEDULES THAT YOU CAN SEE BECAUSE IT'S SO GOING TO BE INDIVIDUALIZED BASED ON

[03:30:01]

THE SPECIAL STUDENT. >> SO ALL THE OTHERS WILL ALSO BE GOING TO BE RECEIVING VIRTUAL TRI INSTRUCTION. WE WENT THROUGH SPECIAL INSTRUCTION WITH K12 PLATFORM TODAY FOR A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER TEACHERS AS WELL TO SEE IF WE CAN USE THAT PLATFORM MORE EFFECTIVELY TO MEET THE NEEDS STUDENTS.

IT IS MY HOPE AS THINGS CHANGE. AND DR. RODRIGUEZ CONTINUES TO UNVEIL HIS TRANSITION AND PLAN THAT WE CAN START LOOKING AT SOME OTHER OPTIONS THAT'S WELL SO I'VE HAD I HAVE A PLAN A B, C, D AND E READY FOR EVERY POSSIBLE CONTINGENCY I CAN THINK ABOUT.

SO FAR I DO BELIEVE THAT IN CLOSING I WILL SAY THANK YOU AND I WILL SAY THAT YES, I'VE HAD A LOT OF PARENTS THAT HAVE STOPPED ME AND TALKED TO ME IN THE STORE.

>> I HAVE TALKED AND THEY BELIEVE THAT ONE OF THE BEST IN THIS DISTRICT TO HAVE DONE IS HI DR. WYATT MRS. WHITE BECAUSE SHE IS VERY EDUCATED AND THIS PROGRAM AND THAT SHE DOES RETURN PHONE CALLS AND THEY DO THEY DO APPRECIATE BECAUSE SHE TAKES THE TIME TO DO IT.

AND SO I JUST DO WANT OF MY MOM SAID IF YOU HAVE YOU BEAT YOU PUBLICLY I PRAISE PUBLICLY.

SO I WANT TO GIVE THAT GIVE THAT PUBLICLY. THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT AND AND I AGREE WITH YOU AND HER DEDICATION IS OUTSTANDING AND HER DILIGENCE ABOUT HER WORK IS AS WELL. AND SO GRATEFUL THAT SHE'S ON

STAFF. >> THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

WE'RE DOWN TO BOARD BUSINESS ACTION CAN WE HAVE A MOTION TO ASK YOU ONE MORE QUESTION BECAUSE WE'RE NOT IN REFERENCE TO THAT ABOUT THE HOTSPOTS ON THE RECOVERY UPDATE BECAUSE

THIS IS ABOUT HOTSPOTS IS JUST A QUICK QUESTION. >> GO AHEAD.

YES. MY QUESTION WAS NOT THE DISTRICT AFTER THE HOTSPOTS THAT YOU RECEIVED FROM THE COUNTY. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH THIS AND THEN HOW WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH THOSE HOTSPOTS THAT WE RECEIVE FROM DIFFERENT FROM THE COUNTY? YES, SIR. MARK SEAN IS ON THE CALL.

I BELIEVE ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD TELL YOU THE HOT SPOTS CAME FROM THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. THERE WERE TWENTY FOUR HUNDRED HOTSPOTS AND WE HAVE BEEN ACCEPTING REQUESTS FROM PARENTS TO QUALIFY FOR THOSE TWENTY FOUR HUNDRED AND MORE I CAN TELL YOU. MARK CAN YOU SHARE WITH THEM? ONE WHERE THEY WHERE THEY APPLY FOR IT JUST SO WE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY HERE TO SHARE THAT OUT.

SO WHERE THEY APPLY FOR IT. AND NUMBER TWO HOW MANY APPLICATIONS OR REQUESTS YOU'VE ALREADY RECEIVED? YES. FOR ANYBODY WANTING TO APPLY FOR THESE HOT SPOTS. WE DO HAVE THE WAIVER FORMS ON THE DISTRICT WEB SITES UNDER STUDENT AND E-LEARNING. AND THOSE ARE PROVIDED FOR YOU IN ENGLISH AND SPAIN'S AS FOR THE HOT SPOTS YOURSELF. WE HAVE RECEIVED THEM FROM THE STATE.

WE ARE GOING THROUGH THEM RIGHT NOW. INVENTORY I'M PUTTING OUR ASSET TAGS ON THEM AND GETTING THEM PREPARED. WE'VE JUST GOT THE INFORMATION FROM THE STATE TO DO THE CONFIGURATION ON THE HORIZON INDIAN SIDE.

SO WE'VE CURRENTLY RECEIVED ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY APPLICATIONS AND WE THOSE APPLICATIONS THAT WHEN THEY'RE PUT ONLINE THEY FIRST GO TO THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL, THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SCHOOL GETS THE FIRST LOOK AT THEM ONCE IT'S APPROVED THERE IT COMES UP TO THE DISTRICT OFFICE TO STUDENT SERVICE WHERE DR. NIKKI CAMPBELL'S GROUP HAS A LOOK AT THEM ONCE IT APPROVED THAT STEP . THEY THEN MARKET APPROVED TECHNOLOGY TAKES OVER AND WE WILL BE ASSIGNING THE DEVICE TO THE STUDENT AND THEN TAKE IT TO THE SCHOOL THAT'S LOCAL TO THAT FAMILY FOR THEM TO PICK IT UP SO THAT SALES WHILE THAT SOUNDS

LIKE A LENGTHY PROCESS, IT'S NOT ALL. >> YEAH, I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. I KNOW IT'S NOT REALLY IT'S NOT REALLY A LENGTHY PROCESS.

IT'S ELECTRONIC APPROVALS THAT MOVED THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND SO THEY GET IT AND THEN THEY MOVE THEM WITH THE DEVICE TO THE SCHOOL. SO IT'S NOT REALLY A LENGTHY PROCESS BUT I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING BECAUSE BECAUSE IT SOUNDED TO ME TO SIR.

[Donation from Fire and Pine in the amount of $24,500 dollars of Face Shields for District’s Use.]

THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. >> DOWN TO BOARD BUSINESS ACTION. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE DONATION AS LISTED ON THE AGENDA? IF SOMEBODY WOULD GIVE THAT MOTION A COMMOTION THAT WE

APPROVED DONATION FIVE ON TIME TOMORROW. >> TWENTY FOUR THOUSAND FIVE

[03:35:05]

HUNDRED DOLLARS OF FACE MASS. I MEAN RATIO FOR DISTRICT USE. >> YOU HAVE A SECOND.

OK. EARLE MADE THE MOTION AND THAT WAS NASCAR'S SECOND.

ANY DISCUSSION? >> KEEP DR. RODRIGUEZ. >> YEAH.

I JUST WANT TO BRIEFLY SAY THAT I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM RYAN MAR WHO WORKS WITH FIRE IN PINE AND WHEN COVE IT FIRST HIT THEY TRANSITIONED THERE. THEIR THEIR BUSINESS AND THEIR ORGANIZATION DEVELOPING FACE SHIELDS AND NOW THEY'RE TRANSITIONING BACK TO THEIR REGULAR WORK. AND AS SUCH HE FOUND HIMSELF WITH AN INVENTORY AND CALLED AND SAID, YOU KNOW THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO WE CONNECTED AND HE WOULD LIKE TO DONATE 7000 FACE SHIELDS TO BEAUFORT COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND SO IT'S JUST A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY SUPPORT WHO HAS DECIDED TO DO THIS. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT BACK STORY WITH ALL OF YOU ABOUT THAT. SO THANK YOU.

AND I JUST WANT TO SAY IT'S LIKELY THIS MOTION WILL PASS AND I I VERY MUCH THINK THE FIRE AND PINE COMPANY FOR THIS VERY GENEROUS DONATION IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

FREDERICK, YOU SAID IT. >> I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS SAID ALSO.

ADDITIONALLY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ALL RIGHT.

VOTING IS NOW OPEN. YES. YES.

[Future Agenda Topics]

SO MR. SMITH, THEY DON'T REQUIRE THAT IT'S REQUIRED THAT THEY HAVE INTERNET AT HOME IN ORDER TO USE THOSE MY FIVE DEVICES SO THAT MY DEVICES ARE DESIGNED TO BE USED BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS AT HOME. MARK THAT I CAPTURE THAT.

YES, I THINK HE'S ALSO LOOKING FOR IF THEY HAVE NO INTERNET ACCESS TO BEGIN WITH.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY ON SOME KIOSK MACHINES LOCATED IN THE FRONT OFFICE OF OUR SCHOOLS WHERE WE ALLOW PARENTS TO COME IN AND DO OUR ONLINE REGISTRATION AND INFO SNACK.

AND WE'VE ALSO ADDED THE ABILITY FOR THE ONLINE FORMS TO BE ON THERE TO MAKE IT

CONVENIENT FOR FAMILIES. MARK, THANK YOU FOR THAT. >> THAT'S TRUE.

BUT MY QUESTION IS HOW DO PARENTS KNOW THAT NO, THAT WAS WHAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS NOW. HOW DID THEY KNOW THAT THAT INFORMATION IS BEING COMMUNICATED ON OUR WEB? IT'S BEING COMMUNICATED BY OUR PRINCIPLES.

OK, THANK YOU, MARK. >> THANK YOU FOR FOR RECOGNIZING THE QUESTION MR. SMITH WAS ACTUALLY ASKING TO ONE THAT I ANSWERED. MR. DOWLING, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

NO PROBLEM. NO PROBLEM, MR. DOWLING. MR. DOWLING, YOU HAVE YOU.

>> THANK YOU. YES. YES.

THANK YOU. TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU IN A FUTURE AGENDA TOPIC EVENTUALLY. THE LEGISLATURE IS GOING TO LET US KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE GETTING. WE HAVE TO DO A BUDGET. WE HAVE TO APPROVE A BUDGET PROCESS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE CFO COME IN VERY. SO WE WITH A SWAG AS TO WHAT THE BUDGET APPROVAL PROCESS WILL BE BASED ON SOME HYPOTHETICAL DATES OF US KNOWING HOW MUCH MONEY WE HAVE

. >> ALL RIGHT. THERE ARE NO SECOND PUBLIC COMMENTS AS I ALREADY MENTIONED. DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOURN

MR. EARL CAMPBELL SECOND SECONDED. >> MR. WILL SMITH AND ALL THOSE

[03:40:04]

IN FAVOR. >> I I ADJOURN.
