A
And
that
was
miss
fidrich,
yes,
yep.
Any
discussion.
A
Next
order
of
business
is
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
A
A
Meeting
and
we'll
we
will
go
to
lynn,
stokes
murray,
because
she
is
under
a
time
constraint
this
evening
and
we'll
come
back
to
the
committee
meeting
minutes
approval
so
lynn,
we're
so
glad
you
can
join
our
committee
today.
It's
very
kind
of
you-
and
I
know
you-
you
have
limited
time
tonight
as
well-
and
we're
just
interested
in
hearing
your
thoughts
and
getting
us
up
to
date.
D
Sorry
you're
going
to
hear
the
house
in
the
background
I've
got
a
bill
being
debated
on
the
floor.
So
if
I
seem
discombobulated
it's
probably
because
I
am
but
there's
a
lot-
that's
happened
today
and
a
lot
that's
happened
since
the
last
time
we
talked
so
let
me
start
with
election
results.
First,
we
had
in
the
primary
last
night,
six
incumbents
defeated,
none
were
in
beaufort
county,
but
one
of
those
was
the
chair
of
the
house.
Education
committee,
rita
allison.
D
So
that's
going
to
mean
some
major
shake
up,
probably
ray
felder,
who
is
a
first
vice
chair
of
the
committee.
Will
wind
up
taking
over?
None
of
that
will
happen
until
we
reorganize
in
december,
but
just
know,
we've
got
a
leadership
change
coming
in
and
it's
a
huge
loss
that
representative
allison
won't
be
back
with
us
know.
D
Y'all
know
gubernatorial
race,
the
governor
mcmaster
one-handedly,
joe
cunningham,
won
over
me
and
mcleod
pretty
significantly
the
other
interest
I
think
interested
race
is
the
superintendent
of
education
and
there's
a
runoff
between
kathy
manus
and
ellen
weaver.
I
think
probably
the
most
interesting
thing
about
that
is
that
ellen
still
does
not
have.
D
Has
not
met
all
the
qualifications
to
be
sworn
in
as
the
superintendent
of
education,
so
we
don't
know
how
all
that
will
shake
out
if
she'll
wind,
up
with
her
master's
degree
before
the
election
or
before
inauguration,
should
she
win
the
runoff,
but
anyway,
that
primary
runoff
will
be
held
in
two
weeks,
so
the
28th,
so
that's
kind
of
quickly.
What's
going
on
with
the
elections
budget
stuff,
we
have
adopted
on
both
the
house
and
the
senate
side.
D
Today
the
conference
report
for
the
appropriations
bill,
the
tax
cut
bills,
all
that
was
left
out
there
hanging.
So
I
really
wanted
to
highlight
a
little
bit
about
that
and
thank
you
robin
for
putting
this
up.
It's
going
to
be
my
talking
point
for
you
all.
The
tax
cut
bill
1087
was
adopted.
D
This
is
the
billion
dollar
rebate
that
was
proposed
by
senator
peeler.
He
was
very
adamant
about
that
being
done
this
year.
He
they
said
today,
they'd
expect
delivery
of
those
checks
at
about
800,
as
he
said
just
in
time
for
christmas
and
then
the
additional
piece
of
that
is
the
house
proposal
which
reduces
income
tax.
D
This
was
really
done
in
an
effort
to
try
to
bridge
the
gap
competitively
with
north
carolina
and
georgia,
who
have
lower
income
tax
rates
on
the
book.
People
argue
all
the
time
about
whether
that's
really
accurate
or
not,
but
nevertheless
they've
adopted
that
proposal
and
it
drops
down
over
this
five-year
period
of
time.
D
So
that's
about
a
600
million
a
year
cost
with
a
million
dollars.
Ultimately,
when
it's
fully
implemented
now,
they've
talked
about
ramping
it
up
depending
on
what
growth
will
be
and
what
surpluses
we
may
have
in
fiscal
year,
23
24.
so
we'll
see.
But
right
now,
that's
where
we
are.
D
The
manufacturing
property
tax
cut
also
is
dropped
from
nine
to
six
percent
and
that's
about
100
million
dollar
cost.
We've
increased
our
reserve
fund
bills,
so
the
general
reserve
fund
bill
the
capital
reserve
fund
bill
and
we
are
able
to
use
the
capital
reserve
fund
for
any
offset
revenue
reductions.
D
The
highlights
that
you
probably
care
about
most
of
all
is
that
teachers
will
receive
a
4
000
a
year
raise
and
the
minimum
salary
will
also
be
increased.
I
am
unclear
if
it's
going
from
36
to
38
or
36
to
40.
I
haven't
seen
the
language
on
that
yet
so
I
have
to
send
that
back
to
you,
but
the
four
thousand
dollar
raise
is
for
sure
included,
but
whether
or
not
the
minimum
forty
thousand
dollar
a
year
salary
is
in.
I
don't
know
the
answer
that
yet,
but
I
will
find
out.
D
It
essential
all
the
provisos
and
you'll
see
in
one
in
the
in
the
ones
in
section
one
and
again
through
section
three.
All
of
those
are:
are
education
provisos,
mostly
k
through
12..
D
It
tells
you
what
house
or
senate
version
was
adopted,
and
I
have
got
the
full
list
which
I'm
happy
to
send
to
you
all,
dr
g.
If
you
all
want
to
go
through
the
provisos
line
by
line,
it
was
a
banner
year
for
education.
D
We
we
have
just
done
a
great
job
and
I
I
think
that
there's
plenty
of
money,
there's
school
bus
money,
12
million
dollars
for
new
buses,
there's
money
for
in
the
lottery
also
for
new
school
buses.
So
I
think
we've
just
about
gotten
to
the
point
where
the
fleet
is
about
to
be
totally
updated.
D
So
I
don't
know
if
y'all
have
any
specific
questions
about
the
budget.
I
know
that
summary
control
document
is
huge.
It's
about
36
pages,
long
again,
you're
going
to
be
interested
in
sections
one
and
two
and
then
again
on
the
lottery,
which
is
the
very
last
page
of
that
document.
D
I
want
to
take
you
to
any
questions
on
that
before
I
go
to
the
esa
bill.
A
Yes,
we
have
a
couple
hands
up
and
thank
you.
Lynn
first
is
colonel
guyer.
E
Thank
you.
Madam
chair
last
night,
at
the
county
council
meeting,
senator
tom
davis
spent
about
a
half
hour
briefing
the
county
council
on
all
the
budget
state
budget
that
he
knew
about.
One
of
the
statements
he
made
was
that
state
funds
for
school
districts
will
be
less
restricted
this
year.
Didn't
expand
on
that.
I
wondered
if
you
could
expand
on
that.
D
Yes,
they
have
what
they
under
the
new
funding
formula,
which
we
talked
about
kind
of
at
length.
The
last
time
I
was
with
you
all,
obviously,
two
different
versions,
and
they
basically
took
a
mix
of
them
both
and
what
they
did
was
provide
much
more
the
senate
language,
which
provided
for
more
flexibility
for
how
those
funds
could
be
spent.
So
I
think
heretofore
you've
had
money
rolled
up
in
a
line
and
it
could
only
be
used
for
that
specific
purpose.
D
D
And
I
can
get
you
the
exact
language
on
that
from
the
education
funding
formula
legislation
if
you'd
like
that,
would.
C
Miss
fidrich.
Thank
you,
dr
guads.
My
questions
along
the
same
lines
regarding
what
senator
tom
davis
said
last
night.
He
did
say
that
there
would
be
280
million
dollars
of
recurring
funds,
but
he
also
indicated
out
of
the
3.7
billion
dollars.
Non-Recurring
funds,
305
million-
would
go
to
schools.
C
D
So
if
you
look
at
the
summary
control
document
it
it
gives
you
everything
where
it's
all
going
what's
in
the
base,
what's
an
eia,
what's
in
the
non-recurring
and
then
what's
in
the
lottery,
what
you
have
to
do-
and
I
know
it's
complicated-
is
you
have
to
match
the
provisos
that
are
in
part
1b
of
the
budget,
so
you'll
know
how
they're
directing
those
funds?
D
I
should
have
that
piece
of
the
document
I
mean
this
was
just
adopted
today,
so
I
should
have
that
piece
of
the
document
and
all
the
language
which
I
can
share
with
y'all.
I
think
when
I'm
I'm
going
to
meet
with
y'all
again
in
july,
but
I
can
send
it
to
you
before
then,
but
those
provisos
that
are
attached
to
the
dollar
lines
tell
you
where
that
money
is
directed.
Does
that
make
sense.
C
D
I
know
it's
it's
crazy
and
I
what
I
told
robin
and
dr
g
was
the
bad
thing
about
doing
this
today-
is
that
I'm
only
half
prepared?
I
can
tell
you
what
the
money
is,
but
I
don't
have
all
the
language
that
fits
with
it
since
we
just
adopted
all
this
truly
about
three
hours
ago.
So
whatever
you
want
us
to
do,
madam
chair,
in
terms
of
an
analysis
of
the
provisos
and
the
money,
we're
happy
to
pull
all
that
together
between
now
and
when
we
get
back
together.
F
Yeah
I
just
my
question
is:
is
I
heard
today
that
the
legislature
is
thinking
about
passing
a
bill
to
have
school
board
members
run
as
republican
and
democrats?
Is
that
true.
D
So
that
was
a
question
on
the
primary
ballot
and
I'm
sure
when
you
voted
if
you
voted
earlier,
if
you
voted
yesterday,
you
saw
that
was
on
on
the
ballot.
There
were
three
questions,
and
that
was
one
of
them.
It
overwhelmingly
passed.
So
I
suspect
there
will
be
legislation
forthcoming
to
to
deal
with
that.
I
think
it
was
really
sort
of
a
pulse
of
what
the
temperature
was,
but
you
know
for
for
voters
whether
or
not
they
wanted
to
see
that
delineation
of
school
board.
D
Members
typically
running,
as,
as
you
know,
non-partisan
races,
whether
they
wanted
to
run
partisan-
and
it
was
you
know
overwhelming.
So
we
are
done
for
this
year,
so
it
can't
be
introduced
until
we
come
back.
It
could
be
pre-filed
in
december
and
it
would
be
considered
in
2023..
D
D
D
You
so
the
one
other
thing
that
I
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about.
If
you
got
more
questions,
you're
sitting
there
looking
through
the
stuff
y'all,
just
just
shoot
them
to
me.
The
other
thing
we
took
up
today
was
the
senate
bill.
935,
which
is
the
education
savings,
account
legislation
robin.
I
don't
think
I
sent
you
anything.
I
know
I
sent
you
dr
mathis's,
slides.
D
Yes
on
esser
funding,
which
y'all
are
just
peruse
at
your
leisure,
but
I
I
just
got
the
conference
report,
so
I
didn't
have
it
to
send
you
a
copy
of
it,
but
I
will
so.
The
house
and
senate
have
adopted
the
education
savings.
Account
legislation,
they've
renamed
it
to
the
education
scholarship
act.
D
It
will
include
k-12,
it's
five
thousand
dollars
per
child
for
the
first
three
years
after
three
years
it
can
be
increased
up
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars.
Any
child
that
is
medicaid
or
chips
eligible
can
participate
in
the
program
and
they've
reserved
500
slots
for
active
duty.
Military
children,
enrollment
date-
and
this
is
public
or
private
enrollment
date
will
be
january
15
through
march
15
of
2023.
D
The
education
oversight
committee
will
do
an
annual
report
and
the
program
will
begin
school
year,
23
24.,
so
that
was
just
adopted
today
and-
and
it
is
a
little
different-
the
senate
had
k-12
the
house
had
k-8,
they
had
differences
on
qualifications
and
numbers
and
money,
but
that's
where
they
landed
on
on
that
piece
of
legislation.
This
afternoon.
A
So,
can
I
ask
you
a
question
about
that?
So
what
are
they,
those
those
the
money?
What
is
what
can
it
be
used
for
tuition
or,
or
you
know,
a
computer
or
you
know
a
virtual
class
or
do
you
know
the
kind
of.
D
As
I
understand
it,
all
of
the
above
I
did
have
one
other
hang
on
one
other,
more
detailed.
D
D
A
So
a
follow-up
lin
would
be
the
independent
schools.
Would
that
include
your
like
parochial
schools.
D
I
think
it
is
across
the
board,
public
and
private
yeah.
Okay,
once
the
the
conference
report
and
the
language
is
up
on
the
system,
I'll
go
through
it
and
highlight
it
and
try
to
answer
those
specific
questions
it
should
be
up
tonight.
Okay,.
D
The
house
is
still
in
the
senate
still
in
they're
waiting
on
a
conference
report.
One
last
conference
report,
I
think
they'll
adjourn
sunny
die
they'll,
be
back
the
week
of
the
28th
to
deal
with
gubernatorial
vetoes
on
the
budget.
D
The
governor
has
five
days
excluding
sundays,
but
including
saturdays
to
to
issue
his
vetoes,
so
the
clock
starts
to
tick
as
soon
as
the
bill's
ratified
and
I'm
assuming
that
they
will
ratify
tonight
before
they
go
home.
So
we
should
get
a
veto
message
about
midweek
midnight
tuesday
first
thing
on
wednesday
morning
and
see
what
he's
vetoed
in
the
in
the
appropriations
bill
we'll
come
back
and
deal
with
that
and
then
we'll
be
done
until
july.
D
When
we
come
back
for
there's
a
opportunity
to
come
back
to
discuss
roe
versus
wade
depending
on
what
the
supreme
court
decision
is
and
and
if
they
don't
issue
an
opinion,
then
we
won't
be
back.
If
they
do,
then
we
probably
will,
but
that
session
in
july
is
limited.
D
Then
we'll
come
back
in
december
to
reorganize
it's
the
beginning
of
a
new
two-year
session.
So
we'll
have
all
new
house
members
looking
like
we're.
Gonna
have
probably
about
30
new
house
members,
so
that's
about
a
third
which
is
pretty
significant,
of
course,
as
you
know
the
senate's
not
up,
so
they
will
remain
the
same.
D
D
I
think
that's
most
of
what
I
got
for
y'all
and
I'm
sure,
once
you
look
at
this
appropriations
budget
document
that
you
may
have
more
questions
for
me,
I
am
happy
to
make
myself
available
next
week
or
next
time
y'all
meet
prior
to
the
board
meeting
in
july,
since
I
can't
be
with
y'all
on
tuesday
night.
D
A
So,
thank
you,
lynn.
Before
you
go.
I
just
want
to
ask
the
other
committee
members
that
have
been
quiet
if
they
have,
if
they
have
any
questions
for
you
and
that
would
be
miss
middleton
or
dr
wisniewski.
I
do
not
okay,
thank
you
and.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
I
did
have
a
question.
I'm
not
sure
if
miss
stokes
murray
can't
answer
it,
but
the
question
is
on
in
regard
to
the
next
topic
that
we
were
going
to
discuss
because
there's
some
things
that
I
was
just
a
bit
unclear
of
and
I
wanted
to
see
if
she
might
have
some
answers
on
it.
But
if
she
has
to
go,
I
totally
understand.
D
Yeah,
I
think
that
that's
largely
what
senate
bill
935
is
that
I
was
just
talking
about
and
if,
if
you
need
me
to
go
through
that
again,
I
can
but,
but
that
is
dubbed
the
the
voucher
bill,
public
private
institutions
up
to
five
thousand
dollars
per
child,
but
they
must
be
medicaid
or
chips
eligible.
D
D
A
So
lynn,
before
you
go,
what
do
you
see
at
in
the
in
the
you
know,
next
year's
general
assembly?
A
What
do
you
see
is
in
terms
of
education
since
obviously
that's
what
we're
interested
in
as
where
they're
headed
or
if
you
have
suggestions
for
our
input,
we're
going
to
be
working
on
a
a
legislative
update
here.
It
is
our
legislative
priorities
that
we've
we've
done
this
for
a
few
years,
although
we
have
not
changed
it
really
in
the
last
year
or
two
and
we've
put
forth
our
legislative
priorities.
A
These
are
you
know,
I
mean
I
think,
we're
very
focused
on
these
things
and
have
been,
and
I
don't
think
much
is
new
with
any
of
these
really
other
than
a
lot
of
you
know.
We've
had
a
lot
of
emphasis
this
in
this
past
year,
especially
after
the
pandemic
or
during
the
pandemic,
with
with
mental
health
care
for
for
students
and
staff.
D
D
I
will
tell
you
that
we're
not
done
on
the
conversation
of
the
education
funding
formula,
the
education
funding
formula
was
adopted
as
a
compromise
for
a
year
with
those
districts
that
were
impacted,
particularly
on
efa
funding.
D
Saying
hey
we're
just
going
to
see
how
this
goes
and
you
know
we
want
to
revisit
this,
so
I'm
I
feel
really
confident
that
we'll
be
back
at
education
funding
reform.
I
think
also
mental
health
has
been
discussed
ad
nauseum.
D
The
budget
is
chock
full
of
behavioral
health
services,
not
only
through
the
department
of
health
and
environmental,
not
not
health
and
human
services,
but
also
at
the
school
level
and
with
school
resource
officers
and
and
behavioral
health
centers
around
the
state
trying
to
be
able
to
reach
to
these
children
that
have,
you
know,
suffered
trauma
through
the
pandemic.
D
I
think
that
will
continue
to
be
topic
of
conversation.
Opioid
addiction
will
continue
as
well.
I
think
that
we
have
sort
of
a
new
wave
of
conservatives
coming
into
the
general
assembly.
I
think
you
will
probably
see
more
conversation
again
as
it
relates
to
funding
formulas,
expanding
voucher
programs
and
this
esa
program
once
it
gets
off
the
ground.
I
I
suspect
that
there
may
be
some
efforts
to
try
to
further
open
that
up
for
discussion.
D
I
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
senator
hembry
about
his
agenda
for
23,
but
I'm
actually
going
to
be
with
him
in
a
couple
of
weeks
to
to
kind
of
get
a
sense
from
him
of
what
he
wants
to
tackle
next,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
that's
going
to
depend
on
who
our
superintendent
of
education
is
I'll,
make
a
prediction.
I
I
don't
anticipate
that
the
democratic
candidate
will
win.
D
I
think
it
will
be
ellen
or
kathy
and
they
have
some
pretty
different
philosophies
and
how
they
go
in
and
change
the
department
from
what
has
been
molly's.
All
these
years,
it'll
be
interesting
to
see,
so
I'm
paying
really
close
attention
to
what
they're
talking
about
on
the
campaign
trail.
D
So
we
might
get
a
sense
of
you
know
what
their
priorities
are
and,
and
I
think
it
would
make
a
lot
of
sense
in
the
fall
once
we
see
after
november,
who
wins
the
election
to
to
get
our
questions
together
and
go
sit
down
and
and
talk
with
the
department
about
where
they're
headed
and
make
sure
that
we're
aligned
and
that
that
we
are
working
in
conjunction
with
them
to
make
things
easier
for
you
all.
So
that's
a
bit
of
a
rambling,
but
that's
kind
of
what.
A
I
see
that
was
very
helpful
to
me
at
least
I
I
appreciate
that
very
much
do
we
have
any
other
questions
or
comments
by
those
in
attendance
tonight.
G
Yes,
I
had
just
one
go
ahead:
it's
in
regard
to
our
priority
of
sros
and
mental
health
initiatives,
and
we
state
from
there
that
you
know
we
are
looking
for
the
sros
to
be
funded.
G
I
think
part
of
the
conversation
that
might
be
missing
from
that,
and
I
don't
know
if
the
conversations
are
being
had
up
in
colombia,
but
is
that
the
issue
we
found
a
few
years
ago
when
we
decided
to
move
forward
with
the
private
officers
in
the
elementary
schools
was
that
we
were
told
they
weren't
going
to
be
able,
even
if
we
wanted
to
have
that
staffed
by
sros,
that
they
didn't
have
the
capacity
they
didn't
have
the
the
employees
or
the
officers
to
do
that.
So
funding
is
almost
the
cart
for
the
horse.
G
We
don't
have
the
officers,
and
so
I
wonder
if
that's
a
conversation
up
in
colombia
and
is
there
a
way
to
incentivize
an
sro
program
somehow
up
there.
D
Yeah
that
I
think
you're
right
I
mean
there
there's
so
many
vacancies
and
lack
of
trained
professionals
and
and
people
that
meet
the
qualifications
that
it's
you're
right.
It's
not
so
much
the
money.
I
think
we've
got
the
money
now,
it's
just
do
we?
How
do
we
find
the
right
people
and
my
understanding
in
the
provisos
that
are
in
part,
one
they've,
given
a
great
deal
of
flexibility
to
what
heretofore
have
been
some
pretty
stringent
requirements
on
what
those
folks
have
to
have?
D
So
I
think
it's
the
will
of
the
general
assembly
to
provide
flexibility
back
to
the
locals.
That
gives
you
the
opportunity
to
fill
some
of
those
slots
that
you
may
not
necessarily
have
been
able
to
do
in
the
past.
D
Thank
you
so
much
the
topic
of
conversation,
flexibility
locals
know
what
they're
doing
they
know
what
they
need
in
their
own
budgets.
They
know
what
kind
of
people
they
need,
let's,
let's
send
the
money
to
them
and
let
them
make
the
decisions.
I
I've
heard
that
has
been
the
constant
of
the
conversation.
G
A
H
Thanks,
it's
just
a
comment:
pj
tanner
as
part
of
his
campaign.
He
said
that
he
was
going
to
have
an
emphasis
on
training
sros
and
that
he
was
going
to
create
a
program
so
that,
if
you
just
wanted
to
be
an
sro,
you
wouldn't
have
to
do
all
the
rest
of
the
stuff.
So
I
think
that's
probably
where
we
need
to
focus
is
on
pj
and
getting
him
to
deliver
on
that
commitment.
I
don't
think
we
have
to
go
to
columbia.
For
that
one.
I
think.
That's
a
local
thing.
A
G
A
It
very
good
so
lynn,
we
very
much
appreciated
your
attendance
tonight
and
your
the
information
you've
provided
and
you
will
provide
in
the
in
the
near
future.
As
you
mentioned
in
your
remarks
and
then
we'll
see
you
again
in
july
at
our
regular
scheduled
board
meeting
and
then,
as
the
committee
has
our
discussion
tonight,
we
can
also
decide
if
we,
you
know,
want
to
have
a
another
meeting
with
you
either
before
or
after
that
meeting.
A
A
All
right,
so
robin
can
you
scroll
up
on
what
you
have
there.
A
Yeah,
so
I
was
I'd
like
to
hear
from
the
committee
members
and
also
the
others
that
are
board
members
that
are
here
in
attendance,
non-committee
members.
A
I
was
thinking
before
even
lynn
made
her
remarks
tonight
that
we
might
want
to
just
wait
on
determining
how
we
want
to
tweak
our
legislative
priorities
until
as
she
mentioned,
you
know,
we
know
who
the
next
state
superintendent
is
going
to
be.
You
know
they're
now
finished
for
the
summer.
We
really
won't
be
promoting
our
priorities-
legislative
wise,
certainly
at
the
state
level
until
until
the
end
of
this
year
or
the
beginning
of
the
of
the
new
year.
G
I
was
gonna
say
I
agree
with
that,
madam
chair.
In
addition
to
the
you
know,
once
the
budget
gets
finalized
at
county
council
and
we
start
to
see
the
effects
of
any
changes
to
the
funding
formula,
I
think
that
we
do
need
to
maybe
press
process
for
a
bit.
A
Okay,
david.
H
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
I
agree
with
you
completely
the
the
next
state
superintendent.
The
two
candidates
are
dramatically
different.
One
is
big
time
public
school
and
the
other
one
is
big
time
charters.
H
So
that
is
really,
I
think,
going
to
be
a
big
influence
as
we
see
that
shake
out
on
what
our
priorities
are
going
to
be,
because
if
it
starts
tilting
too
much
toward
diverting
public
school
to
charter
schools,
we're
going
to
have
to
make
some
kind
of
a
statement.
So
I
think
delaying
it
is
probably
really
important.
I
A
Let
me
just
see:
are
there
other
hands
up,
I'm
looking
at
the
screens?
Okay,
so
I
don't
think
we
really
need
a
motion
for
this
because
we
didn't
necessarily.
A
B
You
can
have
action
on
in
on
the
agent
on
your
committee
agendas.
It
says:
there's
action
taken
on
any
item,
so
if
you
wanted
to
you
could,
but
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
since
you're
all
in
agreement.
A
A
No
okay,
soon
dr
wisniewski.
G
G
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear,
we
have
a
charter
school
in
our
district
and
they
they
may
operate
by
a
different
board,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
becoming
a
day
versus
us
conversation,
because
I
don't
think
that
moves
anything
forward
for
children
and
I
think
we're
all
here
to
do
what's
best
for
the
kids.
So
I
just
wanted
to-
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
a
fair
characterization
to
say
that
one
candidate
is
pro
charter
or
pro
public.
A
Okay,
thank
you
all
right.
So
robin
could
you
go
back
to
the
agenda.
A
So,
dr
wisniewski,
your
topic
of
request
was
f
here
on
our
agenda:
the
discussion
of
the
tuition,
tax
credits,
credit
and
vouchers,
which
we've
already
discussed
tonight,
do
you
or
do
you
have
any
further
questions
or
or
comments
or
do
any
of
the
other
board
members.
G
Yes
ma'am.
This
was
in
regard
to
the
scsba
conversation
that
we've
had
a
couple
times
it's
in
their
legislative
priorities
and
there's
was
some
specific
language
that
was
added
to
the
21
revision
that
called
into
question
the
constitutionality
of
tuition,
tax
credits
and
vouchers.
It's
my
understanding
that
the
voucher
conversation
was
decided.
I
think
in
2020,
when
it
had
to
do
with
cares,
act
or
gears
money
that
was
being
allocated
through
a
grant
and
that
was
found
to
be
unconstitutional
for
the
south
carolina
state
constitution.
G
But-
and
that's
why
I
asked
that
question
of
miss
jokes
murray,
because
it's
my
understanding
that
the
exceptional
needs
tuition
tax
credit
program
has
been
found
constitutional.
So
I
feel
that
the
current
language
that
is
in-
and
I
know
we've
already
not
we're
not
changing-
we
haven't-
sent
anything
up
to
scsba.
G
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out,
because
I
did
notice
that
there
had
been
a
change
to
the
the
statement
and
that
I
think
that,
on
its
face
it's
it's
perhaps
disingenuous
to
say
that
you
know
that
it's
as
intended
by
the
constitution,
because
that
was
found
constitutionally
viable.
G
Additionally,
in
the
rationale
they
list
out
that
there's
absolutely
no
accountability,
which
is
untrue
for
that
program
as
well.
There
is
financial
accountability
as
well
as
states
testing
standards
that
are
applied
to
that.
So
I
think
it's
something
that
perhaps
I
know
wendy
had
worked
before
to
try
to
get
a
statement
from
scsba
to
get
their
official
stance
on
that
particular
program,
because
that
one's
been
around
for
quite
a
while.
G
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
when,
when
I'm
voting
on
whether
or
not
I
I
don't
want
to
make
a
change-
or
I
don't
want
to
make
a
suggestion
to
scsba
on
specific
things
like
this-
especially
those
that
are
assisting
exceptional
needs
students
in
our
state
that
I'm
not
playing
something
out
there
or
putting
a
seal
of
approval
on
something
that
I
don't
agree
with.
So
that's
my
statement.
I
don't
know
if
there's
any
action
necessary
from
that,
but
I
know
that
there
had
been
conversation
and
board.
A
So
wendy
do
you
have
any
remarks.
I
I
I
had
spoken
with
the
school
board
association,
doc
doctors
nevsky's
right
about
with
the
special
need.
You
know,
vouchers
being
constitutional.
I
have
to
go
back
and
get
my
notes.
I
I
think
this
was
much
broader.
This
new
proposal.
I
C
G
Particular
into
that
exceptional
needs,
it's
a
tax
credit,
not
a
voucher.
G
Is
on
it
that
program,
I
think,
is
very
important
for
a
lot
of
kids.
So
I'd
like
to
know
their
statements.
I
A
And
as
we've
mentioned
at
the,
I
think
it
was
at
the
last
legislative
committee
meeting
and
then
I
I
at
the
the
most
recent
board
business
meeting.
A
We
submitted
our
our
legislative
proposal
regarding
char
public
charter
schools
and
traditional
public
schools
like
bcsd,
of
having
the
same.
A
Requirements
or
restrictions
on
hiring
non-certified
teachers,
and
that
was
due
on
june
13th
and
that
that
did
go
through
to
the
scsba
and
and
robin
copied
me
on
that
correspondence.
So
I
don't
think
yeah.
I
think
the
next
step
with
this
from
what
you've
just
said
rachel
would
be
for
wendy
to
reach
out
to
them
and
and
and
get
the
specifics.
A
The
other
way
we
can.
You
know
how
should
I
say,
initiate
our
our.
What
the
board's
will
is
regarding
all
these
different
resolutions.
Since
this
june
13th
deadline
has
passed,
we
can
also
do
it
when
we
have
the
delegate
assembly
that's
in
early
december
every
year
and
but
the
board.
You
know
that
we
send
delegates
to
that
to
that
assembly
and
they
have
to
represent
the
will
of
the
board,
not
their
own.
You
know
feel
you
know
their
own
opinions
or
whatever.
A
So
probably
the
board
would
have
to
vote
on
changing
the
language
or
we
we.
You
know
we
would
have
to
have
some
kind
of
modified
language
and
then
we
could
see
what
the
will
of
the
board
was.
But
I
don't
think
we
have
to
do
anything
right
now,
other
than
having
wendy
follow
through
on
that
and.
G
A
A
So
I
think
we
on
our
agenda.
We
skipped
over
our
committee
meeting
minutes,
so
we
can
go
back
to
that
and
robin
will
display
those,
and
do
we
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
may
19
2022
legislative
committee
meeting
minutes.
A
Okay,
trisha
fidrich
made
the
second
the
motion.
Any
discussion.
A
So
our
next
order
of
business
is
deciding
when
our
next
meeting
will
be
and.
A
I
don't
know
from
what
we've
discussed
tonight.
It
seems
like.
Maybe
we
could
skip
july
skip
the
summer
month
or
the
subcommittee
has
the
will
that
no
we'd
like
to
meet
in
july
and
bring
you
know,
lynn,
stokes,
murray
back,
I'm
I'm
that's
fine.
Whatever
the
committee's
will
is.
A
Miss
dr
wisniewski.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
was
good
yeah.
I
agree
with
you.
We
should
take
july
probably
off
to
allow
for
some
time
to
digest
what
comes
out
of
session,
and
perhaps
I
was
going
to
also
make
the
suggestion
is
after
we
have
time
to
gather
that
and
have
a
discussion
that
we
try
to
set
up
meetings
well
in
advance
with
the
delegation
to
discuss
our.
You
know
what
our
what
our
conversation
is
gleaned
from
that.
A
That
sounds
good
I'll.
I
know
robin
can
address
this
too
in
the
past
and
as
recently
as
literally
a
few,
what
a
month
ago,
a
month
ago
or
two
months
ago,
they
were
not
willing.
You
know
they,
the
legislative
deal
our
county
legislative
delegation
and
did
not
how
should
I
say,
acquiesce
to
our
request
to
meet
with
them,
and
so
that's
when
actually
I
and
miss
fidrich
went
to
their
local
delegation
meeting,
which
was
in
bluffton,
and
we
and
we
provided
board
input
to
some
degree,
although
they
were
our.
A
We
were
speaking
as
individuals
with
some
information
to
the
delegation,
but
I
think
would
be
really
helpful
if
we,
if
we,
you
know,
had
a
had
a
meeting
where
we
exchanged
ideas
and
perhaps
the
one
to
broker
that
would
be
actually
lynn,
stokes,
murray.
G
I
I
agree,
I
can't
recall
was
that
it
supposed
to
be.
Were
we
requesting
a
meeting
with
the
full
like
our
full
board
and
the
delegation,
because
perhaps
they
would
be
agreeable
to
meeting
with
the
legislative
committee?
And
I
also
think
a
lot
of
that
had
to
do
with
the
timing,
because
they
were
in
session.
G
A
Well,
if,
if
the
committee
and
those
also
the
others
in
attendance,
why
don't
I
reach
out
to
lynn
stokes
murray
and
see
what
she
thinks,
what
would
work
best
and
and
then
we
can
go
from
there?
Whether
we
need
to
have
the
board
vote
on
it
or
she
comes
back.
You
know,
I'm
not
sure.
I
just
think.
Let's,
let's
try
to,
I
just
think
she's
our
she's
a
good
go.
You
know
good
go-between
for
us
and
she
might
be
very
helpful
for
us
that
way.
A
So
then
we're
likely
gonna
go
into
august
for
the
next
committee
meeting.
A
I
agree
with
all
this
as
well.
Okay,
thank
you
angela!
So,
let's
see
any,
we
haven't
really
had
a
regular
scheduled
day
of
the
week,
robin
writer
or
we.
G
A
Yes,
so
would
we
like
to
go
after
that
or
before
that
or.
G
And
I
know
I
think
we
have
a
do.
We
have
a
meeting
on
the
16th
as
well
a
regular
board
meeting.
B
G
A
B
So
the
23rd
and
then
you
have
the
school
law
conference
over
the
weekend,
so
maybe
tuesday,
the
23rd
or
wednesday,
the
24th
yeah.
A
How
what
with
the
wendy
and
the
other
committee
members.
B
C
A
Right
so
this
could
be
a
tentative
right,
yeah,
placeholder.
Okay,
does
that
work
for
you,
dr
wisniewski,
and
miss
middleton?
Yes,
ma'am.
A
Yes,
yes,
because
that
works
best,
I
know
for
some
of
us
our
work
schedules,
yeah.
A
All
right,
so,
let's
tentatively,
have
that
as
a
as
a
date
and
then
as
as
trisha
pointed
out,
let's
see
if
we,
if
we
have
a
business
that
we
need
to
address
or
not
all
right
do
we
have
any
other.
