Hello:
okay:
now
it's
better
I
think
turning
off
that
mic,
we
are
back
up
so
by
share
I
move
that
we
accept
the
superintendent's
recommendation
for
the
monthly
adult
education
and
home
school
report
for
September
5th
2023.

Is
is
that
is
definitely
some
online
concerns
here,
but
and
and
in
terms
of
Safety
and
Security
is
probably
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
may
be
in
support
of
it.
But
I've
seen
that
this
is
a
lot
of
taxpayers.
Money
and
I
would
just
like
some
more
a
comprehensive
I
got
more
of
a
comprehensive
information,
knowing
that
that
we're
doing
this
with
some
more
a
little
bit
more
guaranteed
on
it.
That
that's.
Why
I'll
leave
that.
I
A
K
A
J
C
Vice
chair
this
is
the
last
one:
I
moved
at
the
board
authorized
the
superintendent
to
issue
an
award
to
Thompson
Turner
Construction
to
provide
construction
management
at
risk
services
for
the
new
pk5
Elementary
School
on
the
May
River
Campus,
as
described
in
RFP
number
23-022.
The
board
authorizes
the
superintendent
to
execute
a
contract
with
the
with
the
contractor
upon
the
expiration
of
the
protest
period.
D
Smith
I
will
definitely
not
support
this.
D
This
this
contract,
due
to
concerns
of
previous
buildings
and
previous
things
that
need
to
be
done
and
I
I
am
concerned
when
it
comes
to
our
facilities
and
I
would
like
more
of
an
understanding
and
I
would
like
some
more
information
in
terms
of
giving
giving
the
this
contract
to
contract
to
any
contractors
at
this
time
until
we
can
understand
the
facilities
and
understand
who's
fixing.
D
What
in
this
District,
we
just
have
some
online
issues,
and
so
until
we
get
those
resolved
and
a
little
more
clear,
then
I
would
definitely
cannot
support.
This
I
cannot
support
this
this
contract
at
this
time.
Thank
you
other.

These
are
the
brave
souls
that,
with
less
than
what
we
have,
maybe
eight
days
of
school
were
able
to
come,
and
we
did
this
last
year
with
our
eighth
graders
that
are
now
at
Winter
High
School.
This
is
pirate,
two,
the
musical
hidden
treasure.
What
do
you
have
a
new
treasure
box?
I,
don't
know,
I
have
any
trusty
Soul
here,
it's
pirate
ninja
for
one,
so
a
wonderful
teacher
who
was
the
original
t-shirt.
Ladies
Island
Middle,
School
Nancy.
H
J
She
started
there
as
an
as
a
music
teacher
in
1984
is
one
of
my
best
friends
she's
in
Greenville.
She
said:
Linda,
you've
always
loved
the
musicals.
These
are
two
musicals.
You
can
do
them
in
one
night.
It's
like
no.
This
is
Middle
School,
so
the
students
last
year
they
added
their
own
comedy
it.
It
wasn't
until
I
watched
the
whole.
M
It
wasn't
until
I
actually
watched
the
video
myself
that
I
realized
that
they
were
improvising
now.
This
was
a
very
new,
it's
very
hard
to
be
flexible.
You
know
the
low
ceilings
you're,
also
close
and
but
I
think
they
did
a
great
job.
I
do
want
you
to
enter
they're
going
to
introduce
themselves
to
you,
but
they
need
to
use
their
pirate
voice
because
we
know
when
we
have
a
costume
on
now.
I
would
normally
have
a
costume
like
this
mating,
but
I
will
hurt
my
voice
for
tomorrow's
classes
and
so
I'm
gonna.

Our
next
item
is
public
comments
and
there's
a
statement
to
be
read
at
the
beginning
of
each
school
board
meeting,
whereas
in
order
to
ensure
the
safety,

and
good
order
of
its

allow
all

O
I'm,
the
I'm,
the
grandson
of
a
South
Carolina
School
principal
the
son
of
a
librarian
and
father
of
a
New
York
City
school
teacher
in
my
own
four
years
of
teaching
and
30-year
career
in
Protestant
Ministry.
Finally,
with
10
years
of
work
with
hospice,
I
learned
that,
rather
than
telling
people
how
to
run
their
own
lives,
I
could
sometimes
be
helpful.
Sharing.
O
As
a
taxpayer
and
a
citizen
I'm
committed
to
individual
freedom
of
learning
and
expression,
always
but
I
will
speak
against
censorship,
even
when
it
does
not
work
for
me
commercially
to
do
so.
My
problem
with
the
board's
actions
around
proposed
censorship
is
not
the
way
you
are
dealing
with
bigoted
sub
subversion
by
an
influential
few.
O
O
It
doesn't
work
for
me
to
tell
my
children
much
less
other
parents
and
children
what
they
may
and
may
not
find
free
in
the
library
Learning
Center,
better
I
find
is
reading
more
alongside
children
and
resourcing
book
groups,
so
that
reading
might
Remain
the
very
best
Avenue
toward
thinking
and
growing.
In
me,
in
my
loved
ones,
and
in
my
neighbors,
my
personal
experience
of
moms
for
Liberty
and
other
authoritarian,
even
bigoted
groups,
is
that
their
effective
goal
is
to
narrow
even
remove
the
liberty
of
their
neighbors.
A
Our
next
speaker
is
Beaufort
County
councilwoman
tabernick.
Please
welcome
the
councilwoman
to
our
public
comment
session.
P
Thank
you.
It's
kind
of
a
pleasure
to
sit
on
this
side
of
the
tables,
so
I
am
Ann.
Marie,
tabernac,
I'm,
District,
Six,
Beaufort,
County,
Council,
so
I
thought
I'd
come
and
say
something
really
nice,
because
usually
you
get
bombarded
with
all
kinds
of
things.
So,
first
of
all
kudos
to
all
the
board
members
for
serving
not
an
easy
job.
I
was
37
years
in
education
and
every
day
you
get
pummeled
kudos
to
all
our
staff
who
work
every
day
for
the
children,
but
I'm
really
here
about
yours,
your
superintendent,
your
CFO.
P
They
have
braved
the
County
Council
meetings
producing
your
budget
and
I
know
in
the
past.
It's
been
quite
a
challenge.
I've
heard
I
wasn't
there,
but
this
time
they
sailed
through
the
three
hearings
for
the
budget
and
then
miss
Crosby
Tanya
Crosby,
your
Chief
Financial
Officer
sailed
through
three
hearings
with
the
resolution
to
redo
the
reassessment
and
the
rollback,
not
one
question
from
County
Council,
so
I
think
that
shows
your
constituents
that
you're
doing
a
great
job
and
the
fact
that
County
Council
has
now
recommended
to
the
legislator.
P
S
Okay,
I'll,
be
here
often
enough:
you'll,
learn
it
on
the
Reverend
Lori
lobbin
and
I
serve
the
Unitarian
Universalist
Fellowship
on
ladies
Island
I've
been
away
quite
a
bit
this
summer
and
one
of
the
things
I
did
was
spend
several
days
with
our
nine
nine
now
nine
month
old,
granddaughter
she
is
an
inspiration
and
her
parents
and
grandparents
are
already
reading
to
her
board
books.
But
reading.
S
We
all
know
how
important
reading
to
children
from
the
very
beginning
is
I.
Look
at
her
and
I.
Remember,
reading
to
her
mother,
our
daughter
and
our
other
children
and
I
also
remember
my
own
mother
reading
to
me
and
convincing
the
local
librarian
back
in.
We
won't
say
when
to
issue
me
a
library
card
early,
because
my
mother
wanted
to
be
able
to
check
out
books
for
herself.
Not
just
me,
I,
remember
my
parents,
neither
of
whom
ever
finished
high
school.
They
didn't
have
the
opportunity
they
never
censored.
S
What
I
read
they
trusted
that
if
I
chose
something
that
was
beyond
me
and
my
comprehension
level,
it
would
be
boring
and
I
would
take
it
back
to
the
library
on
red
I
followed
a
similar
system
with
my
three
children.
Although
I
was
a
little
more
active
about
talking
to
them
about
what
they
were
reading
and
I
learned
a
lot
about
from
those
conversations
and
our
37
year
old,
son,
I'm,
proud
to
say
now
sends
me
books.
He
thinks
I'll
like
and
I'm
going
to
say
something
nice
tonight
too.
S
I
am
grateful
that
I
was
able
to
trust
that
the
school
system
would
have
the
books
our
children
needed
when
they
needed
them
and
I
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
I'm
grateful
that
the
ability
for
parents
to
opt
out
of
specific
reading
assignments
and
books
is
already
part
of
the
Beaufort
school
system.
I,
don't
think
that
system
needs
any
updating.
S
S
G
U
They're
going
to
speak
about
surveys,
surveys
started
up
again
this
year
and
somehow
teachers
are
able
to
put
the
fourth
kids
to
do
the
surveys
by
telling
them
they're
getting
a
grade,
and
students
have
a
right
to
opt
out
of
surveys
and
they
should
not
be
punished
by
having
a
bad
grade
for
not
participating
in
a
survey.
But
I
wanted
to
start
off
by
saying:
congratulations,
you're,
keeping
me
off
the
school
campus
and
you're
keeping
that
out
of
board
meetings,
but
you
didn't
win.
U
You've
decided
to
unlawfully
prohibit
me
from
participating
in
my
children's
education,
but
we
won't
let
this
go
by
and
you'll
never
be
forgiven.
For
this,
my
children
will
not
forget
how
your
decision
has
destroyed
their
lives
by
keeping
their
father
out
of
their
education.
This
is
not
a
threat
nor
harassment,
so
listen
carefully
within
the
law.
I
will
do
everything
I
can
legally
to
make
sure
that
those
involved
in
having
this
trespass
notes,
if
it
against
me,
are
held
accountable.
U
One
of
Dr
Rodriguez
staff
laughed
at
me
when
I
spoke
to
them
about
this
matter.
A
few
weeks
ago,
the
conversation
on
the
phone
started
with
me
asking
them
how
they
were
doing,
and
their
response
was
a
lot
better
than
you
right
now
and
they
laughed
at
me.
I
didn't
think
it
was
very
funny.
It's
not
it's
pathetic
and
it's
childish,
no
Integrity
whatsoever,
but
that's
the
status
quo
and
it's
a
sad
day
when
people
laugh
at
the
unlawful
punishment
of
others.
U
U
A
That
concludes
public
comments.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
chair's
report
and
five
board
members
attended
the
school
board
association's
annual
School
law
conference.
They
were
Miss
Gordon,
Mr,
Dallas,
Mr,
Smith,
Mr,
Campbell
and
myself.
I
want
for
the
public
to
realize
some
of
the
things
that
were
talked
about.
I've
talked
about
Robert's
Rules
and
orders
litigation.
What
school
board
members
need
to
know
student
discipline,
hearings
policy
and
practice
parental
rights
movement?
What
school
board
members
need
to
know
closing
the
deal,
how
to
contract
negotiate
with
superintendents?
A
Knowing
what
you
don't
know,
important
questions
board
members
should
ask
about
school
law
and,
lastly,
addressing
constitutional
law
issues
at
the
schoolhouse
Gates
and
navigating
the
challenge
of
student
discipline
issues
so
Mr
Gordon,
Miss,
Gordon,
I'm,
Sorry,
Miss,
Gordon,
Mr,
Dallas,
Mr,
Smith
and
Mr
Campbell.
Do
either
of
you
have
anything
you'd
like
to
add
about
this
conference.
Mr
Campbell.
V
D
D
F
Very
very
well
done
conference,
I
learned
a
lot
and
that's
that's
all
I
can
say
right
now.
I
Mr
Vice
chair
as
the
new
board
member
I,
found
it
extremely
rich
and
fertile
learning
environment.
Speaking
with
board
members
from
across
the
state
was
very
informative.
We
all
are
dealing
with
some
similar
challenges
and
that
some
have
discovered
opportunities
that
they
passed
around
verbally
in
impromptu
conversations.
I
also
want
to
congratulate
the
board
for
being
so
supportive
of
board
members
and
staff,
and
what
have
you
actually
pursuing
additional
learning?
There's
a
lot
of
learning
that
takes
place
far
beyond
what
I
had
anticipated
as
a
first
time
attendee.
I
So
I
just
want
to
congratulate
the
board
for
being
that
willing
to
help
us
grow.
D
I
would
definitely
also
like
to
thank
our
staff,
who
make
our
transition
down
there
so
elegantly
make
it
possible,
because
when
I
first
got
down
there,
they
gave
us
an
envelope
that
made
sure
that
we
have
information,
that
we
need
and
what's
going
on
down
there
and
one
lady
was
she
said:
well,
did
you
check
it
and
get
your
envelope
and
she
said
because
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
what's
going
on,
I
said:
oh
I
really
I
know
what's
going
to
already
have
those
can
I
see
it?
D
He
said
where'd,
you
get
this
from
I
said
that
so
elegantly
I
said
the
board
secretary.
So
I
would
like
to
thank
the
staff
for
always
taking
the
time
out
and
making
sure
that
we're
already
prepared
when
we
go
to
those
conferences,
just
like
to
thank
you
publicly
for
all
the
work
that
you
do,
that
you
do
for
us
as
well.
Thank.
F
Thank
you.
Mr
chair,
the
academic
committee
met
last
month
in
August,
and
there
were
a
lot
of
ARS
that
we
covered
so
I'm,
going
to
turn
this
over
to
Dr
Stratus,
so
that
she
can,
with
her
team,
can
give
us
a
a
brief
on
what
was
discussed
on
that
day.
W
W
You
could
tell,
by
the
amount
of
administrative
regulations,
that
it
was
a
lengthy
meeting
but
very
thorough
and
very
much
needed.
I'll
go
through
the
titles
rather
quickly
just
for
families
to
familiarize
you

harassment,

and

These
items
fall
under
Title
IX,
as
well
as
our
student
code
of
conduct,
ss24
tobacco
use
by
students,
one
of
the
most
updated
items
to
note
here
is
also
the
use
of
Vapes
electronic
devices.
Anything
tied
with
nicotine,
ss25
student
services,
drug
and
alcohol
use
by
students.
W
W
What
is
most
important
here
is
that
we
also
have
a
backup
of
medical
medication,
distribution
for
students,
ss-47,
individual
health
care
plans,
individual
treatment
plans,
ss48
first
aid
and
emergency
care,
and
I
want
to
note
that
the
medical
administer
administrative
regulations.
The
district
does
have
a
consultant
doctor
in
the
community
who
does
review
all
our
work
to
ensure
that
we
are
compliant
with
medical
practices
is
not
conducted
in
isolation,
ss-51,
child
abuse
and
neglect.
Please
note:
I
want
to
take
a
pause
to
recognize
that
we
are

an
ss-54,
Student

F
No
comments
other
than
this
team
is
awesome.
It
was
very,
very
on
point.
They've
covered
all
of
the
regulations
that
needed
to
be
including
the
additions
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
such
a
thorough
report
and
for
giving
their
time
and
actually
making
sure
that
we
are
up
to
date
on
our
ARS.
So
thank
you
team.
Thank
you
very
much.
C
Dr
Stratus,
thank
you,
you
and
your
team
again.
This
is
gold
I,
like
the
fact
that
you
all
gave
this
update
in
this
format,
and
you
went
over
the
key
points
and
I
think
Ingrid
might
appreciate
that
too,
because
all
we
saw
was
the
stack
and
we're
like.
Oh
it's
going
to
be
all
night.
So
thank
you
so
much
team,
you
all
the
great.
If.
W
D
That's
a
quick
question
and,
and
in
terms
of
the
the
bus
drivers
do
we
know
if,
if
all
our
bus
drivers
are
our
CPR
I
mean
is
for
it's
on
top
of
my
town,
I'll,
basically
not
the
first
date,
CPI.
W
W
D
Cpr
CPR
CPR
do
all
our
bus
drivers.
How?
How
have
we
made
sure
that
all
of
them
are
CPR
are
certified.
X
X
D
I
just
know
that
our
district
does
off
of
those
CPR
classes
and
I,
just
just
we're
just
sitting
there
thinking
and
listening
to
you
when
you
talked
about
the
the
health
plan
and
the
first
aid
medical
I
was
just
thinking.
I
was
just
wondering
in
terms
of
our
bus
drivers
are
they
are
CPR,
because
we
do
all
for
that.
So
I
think
that
that
would
be
something
good
for
for
our
bus
drivers
to
make
sure
that
they
they
take
CPR
no.
W
D
That's
awesome
more,
the
better,
because
the
one
thing
that
Mr
Sanderson
tells
us
that
out
from
understanding
is
that
if
someone
was
to
need
CPR
on
this
side
of
the
broad
versus
the
other
side,
that
this
side
that
we're
definitely
in
troubles
so
I
think
the
more
people
that
we
have
on
that
in
terms
of
all
bus
drivers
will
make
a
difference.
Thank
you.
B
Q
Briefly,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
of
the
brevity,
the
flag,
AR-
and
it
was
just
it
came-
I
was
looking
through
it
at
the
same
time,
all
this
stuff
with
like
the
Gadsden
playing,
and
these
different
things
are
going
on.
It's
another
sort
of
cultural
War
issue.
That's
bubbling
up
in
terms
of
what
flags
are
flown
in
the
classroom
that
aren't
related
to
the
school
or
educational
things.
W
I
will
bring
that
up
to
Student
Services
I
will
say
generally
a
safe
place
to
land
at
flying
a
flag.
It
is
to
store
U.S
flag
and
our
state
flag.
Those
are
the
two
primary
Flags
to
be
utilized
and
with
the
addition
of
when
we
celebrate
military
service,
Veterans
Day,
December,
8th
things
at
a
correction,
December
7th.
The
eighth
is
the
superintendent's
birthday.
He
doesn't
get
a
flag
and.
W
D
I
was
I
was
I
was
going
to
say
well,
I
thought
it
was
kind
of
clear
I
thought
it
was
good,
I
mean
I.
Thought
was
kind
of
kind
of
clear
with
the
policy,
but
I
just
want
to
say,
as
we
embarked
on
that
we
don't
want
to
open
Pandora's
boxing
that
already
yeah
we
I
just
want
to
be
called
cognizant
of
how
we
approach
it
approach.
It
I'm
sure
that
you
know
that,
but
yeah
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
consider
that.
Q
D
Q
A
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you,
Dr
Stratus.
Our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
academy
for
career
Excellence
Ace
for
the
public
and
for
some
board
members
a
reminder.
There
are
six
board
members
on
the
for
the
ace
three
from
Beaufort
County
and
three
from
Jasper
County.
Three
from
Beaufort
County
are
Mr
Dallas
and
Mr
Campbell
and
myself,
and
we
had
a
ace
board
meeting
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
we
have
a
problem.
A
The
problem
is
the
agreement
between
Beaufort
County
and
Jasper
County
on
funding,
and
the
funding
issue
is
that
right
now,
the
agreement
that
we
have
with
Jasper
County
is
that
Beaufort
County
pays
for
two-thirds
of
the
operational
cost
of
the
Ace
Program
and
Jasper
County
pays
one
third
of
the
cost,
but
Jasper
County
only
has
18
percent
of
the
current
enrollment
at
at
Ace.
The
the
remainder
two-thirds
is
from
Beaufort
County,
so
they
feel
that
they
are
paying
an
inordinate
amount
of
money
for
the
service
they
get
for
their
students.
A
There's
also
an
issue
with
capital
funding
in
support
of
Ace
there's
approximately
12
million
dollars
worth
of
capital
upgrades
that
must
be
done
to
the
facilities
at
Ace
and
right
now.
A
The
agreement
has
that
50
of
the
property
belongs
to
us,
and
50
percent
belongs
to
Jasper
County
and
therefore
50
percent
of
the
capital
requirement
comes
to
Jasper,
County
and
50
percent
comes
to
Beaufort
County
and
they
are
having
issues
with
their
capital
in
their
district
and
and
we
obviously
don't
don't-
have
the
money
right
away,
but
we
are
more
able
to
come
up
with
capital
support
in
Jasper
County.
A
So
what
and
what
happened
at
this
meeting
was.
Basically,
we
gave
it
over
to
the
two
superintendents
that
put
their
heads
together,
along
with
the
staff
and
come
back
to
the
ace,
come
back
to
the
ace
board
representatives
of
the
respective
district,
with
a
proposal
of
how
we
should
move
forward
and
then
discuss
it
at
each
of
our
full
boards
and
then
a
suggestion
was
to
have
in
December
a
joint
Ace
or
Beaufort
County
and
Jasper
County
School
Board
joint
meeting
to
discuss
the
future
of
ace,
so
Mr
Campbell
or
Mr
Dallas.
I
Thank
you,
Colonel
Guyer
I
view
this
as
almost
being
a
fundamental
Divergence
of
interest
between
two
Alliance
Partners,
which
happens
quite
often
once
the
economic
Direction
in
the
future
for
Jasper
is
extremely
bright,
and
my
concern
is
that
if
we
look
at
what
historically
has
happened
over
the
last
five
or
ten
years,
Buford
could
be
encumbered
with
some
significant
capital
calls
that
is
supposed
to
be
shared.
I
50
50
by
each
of
the
participants
and
also
Jasper
County,
has
invested
significant
millions
of
dollars
in
creating
programs
that
could
be
very
parasitic
on
the
attractiveness
of
Ace
two
Jasper
County
students.
So
it's
we
review
this
I'm,
hoping
that
one
of
the
options
any
times
you're
considering
Alternatives
is
to
do
nothing.
I
The
other
option
is
to
always
hold
both
parties
firmly
to
what
they've
agreed
to
so
I'm
very
concerned
that,
as
we
come
forward
with
options
in
December,
that
Jasper
is
also
going
to
leverage
their
staff
to
come
up
with
some
proposals
that
we
can
say,
yay
or
nay.
To
so
I
think
that
you
know
it's
a
great
facility
has
some
upside
I'm.
Not
blind
to
that.
I
However,
I
do
want
to
say
just
from
a
negotiating
standpoint:
I
think
we
have
to
look
out
for
our
constituents
in
Beaufort
County,
primarily
and
then
to
both
partners
of
the
alliance.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
chair
Mr.
V
This
this
problem
started
a
long
time
ago.
It's
not
just
lately
and
I
think.
The
other
thing
we
need
to
do
is
that
we
need
to
talk
to
the
legislators
because
they're
the
ones
set
this
up.
V
So
you
know
eventually
I
think
Jessica
want
to
pull
out
and
you
know
I
don't
see.
No,
they
don't
have
the
funds
to
buy
us
out,
you
know
and
we
cannot
buy
them
out
because
the
school
is
the
building
is
located
in
Jasper
County.
Well,
that's
another
thing
to
be
able
to
look
at
so
I
hope
and
we
can
come
to
some
kind
of
agreement
by
December
see
what
what
we
can
do.
C
I,
don't
know
the
history
of
Ace,
so
Mr
Campbell
you
and
I'll
get
together.
So
I
can
get
some
background,
but
in
the
legislate
the
legislative
group,
if
Ace,
is
something
that
we
would
want
to
take
over,
can
Ace
be.
Can
we
buy
purchase
Ace?
Can
they
redraw
lines?
What
can
happen?
Well,
we
can
take
the
school
on
for
ourselves.
C
I
mean
that's
one
of
my
biggest
questions.
I
I
think
that's
always
been
my
question.
You
know
why
didn't
we
own
Ace
ourselves,
because
I
knew
the
numbers
for
Jasper
County
were
low
of
how
many
students
they
were
had
coming
in,
but
I
think
it
would
be
beneficial
for
us
if
we
could
own
Ace
ourselves,
although
it's
in
another
County
and
somehow
I
know
they
redraw
lines
all
the
time.
So
can
that
happen.
E
I
believe
they're
already
exists,
a
a
school
that
pertains
to
one
particular
County,
but
is
outside
of
the
county
lines
in
the
state
of
South,
Carolina
and
I.
Believe
that's
over
in
in
the
Columbia
area.
I
think
it's
Lex,
five
yeah
I
think
you're
right,
I.
Think.
A
C
E
Yep
I
would,
you
know
just
advised,
as
we
have
these
conversations
and
discussions
on
on
possibilities
that
were
we're
just
cautious
about
any
cards
you
throw
on
the
table
in
this
setting
as
opposed
to
what
we
were
able
to
talk
through
and
work
through
and
then
bring
back
to
you
ultimately
for
some
choices
or
decisions.
D
D
You
know
we
we
have
student
staff
from
mug
from
both
districts
and
I,
and
what
I've
learned
out
there
is
that
our
our
kids
build
relationships
with
different
kids
from
different
types
of
different
broad
of
the
of
another
County,
and
they
also
see
how
some
of
the
kids
living
how
they
interact
with
people-
and
you
know
just
it's
a
lot
that
goes
into
ace
aces,
a
not
a
definitely
not
a
one-size
fix
at
all.
It's
just
a
it's
very
complex
people
and
the
opportunities
that
we're
able
to
but
provide
both
counties.
D
I
think
it's
phenomenal
I
think
that
we
need
to
understand
and
visit
Ace
and
see
what
Ace
really
have
to
offer
our
students,
because
we
have
kids
who
have
been
have
been
through
ACE
program
or
not
are
now
on
the
front
line,
doing
EMS
work
of
past
EMS
test.
So
you
know,
and
in
the
relationships
I
just
I
just
powerful.
D
You
know
just
the
other
night
I
went
to
one
of
the
the
football
game
and
there
were
some
kids
who
remember
me
from
Ace:
hey,
hey
how
you
doing
Mrs
Smith,
you
know
so
the
relationships
and
what
we
can
offer
as
a
community
and
having
interaction
being
good,
neighbor,
I,
I,
think
I.
Think
it's.
If
it's
not
it's
phenomenal.
D
R
Thank
you,
Mr
chair,
I'm,
I'm,
gonna,
agree
with
Mr
Campbell
and
in
his
sentiments
and
I
know
that
Dr
Rodriguez
knows
a
great
deal
about
that
history
as
well,
so
I
trust
that
whatever
he
brings
forward
to
us
for
consideration.
R
My
only
request
is
that
whatever
is
brought
forward,
has
the
students
first
and
at
the
Forefront,
because
I
have
seen
a
lot
of
the
great
things
that
Ace
has
done
for
our
students
that
go
over
there
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
at
the
Forefront
of
the
conversation
and
and
the
plan
moving
forward,
and
hopefully
that
there's
some
room
for
Innovation
in
that
space,
because
it's
a
unique
area
and
something
that
can
also
be
an
economic
driver
for
our
area
and
our
district.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you,
I've
been
listening
to
all
of
the
comments
and
they're
all
very,
very
interesting
and
on
point
about
this.
Mr
Campbell
brought
something
up
that
I
know
that
we
should
really
take
into
consideration
and
so
did.
Dr
Rodriguez
I
think
this
conversation
about
what
may
or
may
not
happen
between
us
and
Jasper
County
with
Ace.
We
should
be
very
careful
about
you
know
what
we
say.
I
do
know
that
we
should
think
of
the
children
first,
but
as
Mr
Campbell
brought
out.
F
This
was
brought
up
many
many
times
years
and
years
ago,
about
Beaufort,
County
and
and
Ace,
and
still
no
resolution
and
I
think
that
we
really
need
to
look
at
the
agreement
between
the
two
counties
and
what
the
process
was
at
that
time
and
still
is,
and
the
fact
that
Jasper
County
houses
Ace.
It
is
not
in
in
for
County,
and
so
when
we
start
looking
at
that
property
and
what
we
need
to
do.
F
We
really
need
to
have
our
attorneys
involved
in
the
conversations
with
Ace
and
their
people
and
with
us,
but
be
very,
very
careful
about
what
we're
saying
about
what
we
want
to
do,
because
that
has
happened
before
and
if
you
look
a
still
belongs
to
Jasper
County
and
we
do
not
have
control
over
it.
F
So
that's
all
I
want
to
say
is
just
be
careful
that
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
this
play,
not
just
the
financial
that
was
set
up
because
we
had
money
and
they
didn't,
and
they
recognized
that
back
then,
the
two-thirds
and
one-thirds.
F
I
Thank
you
a
couple
of
points.
This
topic
was
raised
in
an
ace
meeting,
so
I
think
it's
in
the
public
domain.
I
The
second
point
is
I
think
the
general
assembly
is
actually
working
to
consolidate
and
eliminate
some
of
the
school
districts
that
are
in
the
state
because
of
the
efficiency
that
can
be
accrued,
achieved
and
I.
Think
some
of
the
cross-border
schools
are
being
looked
at
by
the
general
assembly
as
well.
So
there
may
be
less
of
comfort
level
with
the
exception
of
situations
such
as
Lexington
5..
I
I
If
you
look
at
the
financial
trajectory
of
Jasper,
County
Jasper
County
is
not
going
to
be,
you
know
less
capable
than
Beaufort
County
in
the
near
future,
so
we
we
have
to
look
at
where
the
ball
is
going
and
negotiate
accordingly.
Thank
you
very
much.
A
Thank
you
all
for
the
comments
that
this
was
brought
up
so
that
Dr
Rodriguez
could
have
a
sense
of
the
board's
thinking
before
he
starts
his
negotiation
with
his
counterpart
in
Jasper
County,
so
I
think
we're
ready
to
move
on
to
the
next
item,
and
that
is
ad
hoc
results.
Committee
and
miss
potright.
Q
Hello
board:
here
we
are
again
so
the
results
we
had
some
results.
Committee
meetings
back,
I
think
the
beginning
of
the
summer.
There
was
a
lot
of
feedback
to
what
the
committee
brought
forward
and
I
thought
that
we
potentially
look
have
a
work
session
or
involve
this,
and
what
I
sent
out
to
the
board
was
looking
for
some
sort
of
guidance
from
the
board
because
and
just
to
remind
everybody
who's
new
and
for
the
public.
Q
The
current
evaluation
instrument
was
put
in
place
when
right
when
Dr
Rodriguez
was
hired,
but
before
we
had
adopted
coherent
governance,
and
it
was
the
end
result
of
a
lot
of
work
of
some
of
the
current
board
members
and
they
ended
up
going
with
the
state
of
Michigan's
Matrix
but
then
sort
of
Beaufort,
county-ized
it
and
and
sort
of
tweaked
it
around,
and
so
that's
what
we
have.
Currently
it's.
What
we've
been
using
when
I
was
first
on
the
board,
I
was
assigned
to
the
results
committee
and
Kathy.
Q
Robine
was
the
chair
at
that
time
and
basically,
what
we
are
charged
with
was
all
of
these.
How
do
we
assess
the
superintendent
during
a
pandemic?
So
we
spent
a
fair
amount
of
time
looking
at
what
we
could
add
or
subtract
to
make
it
fair.
Q
Given
the
fact
that
we're
under
this
pandemic
and
all
of
the
data
was
being
embargoed,
so
I
will
stay
up
front
as
I've
stated
many
times
if
we
are
to
truly
do
coherent
governance,
coherent
governance
is
100
clear
about
how
we
are
to
evaluate
our
CEO,
and
it
is
because
we
should
use
it
is
by
using
the
operational
expectations
that
we
already
give
him
and
his
staff
as
well
as
result,
policies
and
I,
don't
feel
like.
We
have
clear-cut
result
policies
at
this
time.
Q
We
definitely
have
the
operational
expectations
and
Dr
Rodriguez
and
his
staff
work
to
meet
those
operational
expectations
on
a
regular
basis.
Q
The
feedback
I
got
from
the
board
meeting
was
that
we
could
not
change
the
current
evaluation
because
it
was
already
underway.
This
committee
and
I
think
we
need
to
think
about
how
this
committee
as
a
whole
is
restructured,
does
not
really
get
formed
until
late
January,
by
which
time
we're
already
halfway
through
the
school
year.
So
I
guess
the
real
purpose
of
this
committee,
which
I
did
not
really
understand
at
the
time,
is
to
look
at
the
following
years.
Q
So
I
think
we
I
still
would
like
to
do
that
with
the
remaining
four
months
of
this
committee
is
look
at
okay,
the
current
year
we're
currently
in.
Can
we
make
some
adjustments,
but
I
do
think
that's
going
to
require
some
sort
of
a
work
session
or
commitment
on
behalf
of
the
whole
board.
So,
in
the
meantime,
what
we
looked
at
with
the
current
evaluation
tool,
there
were
several
problems
identified
at
the
last
evaluation
that
I
think
the
board
discussed
as
a
whole.
Q
Q
Okay,
so
the
current
evaluation
that
is
going
to
be
coming
due.
We
need
to
look
at
three
areas
that
I
think
that
the
board
discussed
so
Chloe,
Gordon
and
I
met
with
some
other
board
members
to
look
to
talk
about
what
we
could
realistically
do.
The
three
areas
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
is
one
I
think
we
need
to
remove
the
pandemic
response
portion,
because
that
was
not
a
factor
in
this
Academic
Year,
to
the
extent
that
it
should
affect
his
evaluation.
Q
We
identify
quite
clearly
that
there
was
a
problem
with
the
way
we
evaluated
him
on
his
financial
management
because
it
would
not
allow
us,
even
though
we
get
Awards
and
our
budget
and
and
tab
tabernac
comes
and
tells
us
how
great
it
is.
We
were
unable
to
give
High
marks,
because
in
Michigan,
I
guess
in
Michigan.
Q
The
way
this
financial
piece
is
structured
currently,
is
that
a
full
score
of
on
a
4.0
scale
is
two
percent
under
budget,
but
I
believe
in
South
Carolina
you're
not
really
allowed
to
be
under
budget,
so
that
is
a
conflict.
The
third
thing
is
something
that
we
have
been
rolling
around
with
this
thing,
which
is
the
way
we
evaluate
the
academic
achievement
piece.
So
I
think
what
might
be
the
best
way
to
do
it,
I'll,
let
Miss
Gordon,
add
or
any
of
the
board
members
have
any
questions,
but
I
think.
Q
Maybe
we
do
it
as
three
separate
motions
to
address
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
look
at
these
three
areas
of
the
current
evaluation,
so
Ms
Gordon.
Do
you
want
to
add
anything.
Q
I
was
very
grateful
to
have
Miss
Gordon
as
a
former
administrator
and
and
she
knew
exactly
what
happens
in
these
classrooms
and
in
these
evaluations.
So
basically
I
guess
what
I'll
do
then
is.
We
will
start
with
the
first
section,
which
is
the
pandemic
response
and
Rob
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
should
have
teed
this
up
for
you,
but
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
the
Board
of
Education
removed
the
pandemic
response
sections
from
the
current
evaluation
instrument.
Y
You
Mr
chair,
well,
I
was
doing
the
pre-read,
for
this
I
was
going
to
recommend
that
we
change
it
to
crisis
response.
Actually
we
do
have
the
the
occasional
crisis
we
just
had
a
hurricane
I
mean
we
have
the
occasional
lockdowns
due
to
whatever
reason.
Sometimes
you
know
it's
a
scare.
We
had
the
the
scary
last
year
now
we
have
our
a
response.
Y
Our
crisis
response
trailers,
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
so
yeah
we're
not
still
dealing
with
the
pandemic,
but
I
was
going
to
recommend
we
change
it
to
crisis
response.
That's
in
my
comments.
Thank
you.
Q
Yeah
and
I
I
believe
I
was
trying
to
pull
up
my
current
I
think
that
is
covered
in
our
current
evaluation.
What
we
did
because
I
was
part
of
this
team
with
the
pandemic,
was
because
school
wasn't
even
in
session.
We
put
in
some
very
specific
pandemic
response
plans,
sections
I
do
believe
crisis
response.
Of
course
it's
an
OE,
it
is
part
of
our
policy
is
contained
in
the
current
evaluation
instrument.
D
F
No
I'm,
sorry
Miss
Boatwright,
were
you
finished
with
your
thoughts
there
yeah.
F
While
you're
looking
for
that,
I
just
want
us
to
be
mindful
that
whatever
we
do,
we
cannot
change
this
instrument
because
he's
already
been
given
what
he
was
going
to
be
evaluated
on.
I
took
that
class
this
summer
and
basically
on
our
part,
there
would
be
a
breach
of
contract
because
we
did
not
tell
him
that
pandemic
is
now
crisis
which
he
could
have
been
working
on
since
January
and
his
evaluation,
Mr,
nay,
is
due
in
October,
but
we
could
put
it
on
for
the
future,
which
is
not
a
problem.
F
It's
a
great
idea.
We
just
can't
change
it
for
this
period
of
his
evaluation.
Q
And
I
I
would
also
I'm
trying
to
find
the
spot
that
I
think
it
would
fit
in.
Because
one
thing
is
the
pandemic
response.
There
are
I,
think
six
sort
of
what
is
the
domains
under
the
superintendent
did
I
get
that
right.
Miss,
Gordon,
I.
N
U
Q
The
jargon
so
like
community
relations
board
and
board
governance
and
we
put
a
pandemic
sort
of
waiting
into
each
one
of
those
to
make
sure
it
would
make
up
for
any
of
the
shortcomings
because
of
the
fact
that
we
were
in
virtual
school
and
and
those
different
things.
So
I
don't
know
if
we
could
easily
transition
to
a
crisis
management,
so
I
would
support
Miss
Gordon
saying
we
should
look
at
that
for
this.
Q
A
A
C
Q
Q
So
the
weights
would
stay
the
same
because
the
domains
are
weighted.
So
we
just
basically
back
when
added
that
pandemic
response
to
kind
of
plug
holes
that
we
couldn't
evaluate
him
on
and
now
that
that's
not
an
issue
we
just
be
removing
that
and
the
full
weight
of
the
domain
would
stay
the
same
gotcha.
C
D
Q
D
That's
the
first
question
and
then
the
the
the
SEC.
The
second
thing
is
that
I
I
hate
I,
hear
you
I
I,
hear
your
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying,
but
I
am
concerned
that
we
are
possibly
on
the
verge
of
possibly
another
pandemic.
Coming
because
I've
seen
where
some
people
are,
some
states
have
shut
down.
Some
districts
across
the
country
have
shut
down
for
two
weeks
and
I
would
hate
for
us
to
pull
this
out
and
then
this
occurred.
And
then
we
say
well
we
want
to
re-add
it.
D
Q
It's
out
there
what
I
would
say
to
that
is
we're
not
Banning
pandemic
response,
but
I
think.
Would
you
concur
that
in
this
previous
school
year
that
we
just
went
through
where
we
just
graduated
would
that
the
pandemic
was
not
a
wait
on
last
year's
school
year?
D
D
L
I
Starts
in
August,
okay,
so
then
for
22-23,
then
we
really
are
in
month
what
12.
or
pass
August
yeah,
so
I'm
very
leery
about
changing
things
like
because
this
is
a
good
example
of
us
trying
to
be
very
fair,
but
I
could
see.
We
set
a
precedent
where
you
know
future
board
may
say:
I,
don't
like
this,
so
I'm
going
to
take
this
out
and
for
it
to
occur
after
the
end
of
the
year.
I
It
would
make
me
very
leery
of
the
organization,
so
I
I'm
I'm,
more
than
happy
to
allow
it
to
remain
as
is
and
then
to
grade
the
superintendent
on.
That
was
an
issue
that
did
not
flare
up
because
they
are
micro
communities
that
are
having
you
know,
flare-ups
of
the
pandemic,
so
I'm
willing
to
give
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
there
and
then
really
with
this
ad
hoc
committee,
which
you've
done
a
great
job
of
leading
and
trying
to
make
it
more
specific
and
Tighter,
is
to
look
going
forward,
23-24.
I
and
really
sort
of
work
with
the
superintendent
to
see
what
needs
to
be
done
there
and
I
think
changing
metrics
and
results
normally
is
preceded
by
rigorous
strategic
analysis.
K
D
I
want
to
actually
some
some
people
say:
they've
lost
always
got
about
that
they've
lost
audio,
but
when
they've
came
back,
okay.
Q
But
I
I,
Concur
and
I
will
say:
I
think
that
there
are
two
things
that
I
will
put
right
up
front
on
all
this,
because
we're
going
to
have
three
motions
here,
one
I
think
there's
some
structural
problems
with
the
way
we
set
up
results,
because,
if
we're
doing
establishing
the
results
Committee
in
January,
that
doesn't
make
a
whole
lot
of
sense,
we
need
to
figure
out
how
we're
establishing
that
and
be
clear
and
intentional,
so
I
think
that
that
and
then
I
think
we
do
need
to
look
at
putting
our.
Q
This
is
not
really
in
alignment
with,
like
our
OES
and
whatnot.
So
I
think
that
those
are
two
challenges.
I
think
this
is
a
one-off
and
what
I
will
say
to
the
the
new
board
members.
These
discussions
were
had
in
pretty
good
detail
when
we
did
the
last
evaluation.
That's
why
I
feel
somewhat
confident
I
feel
like
it
was
more.
The
ball
was
dropped
as
to
whether
who
which
result
committee
was
in
charge,
but
I,
don't
think
it's
fair,
because
I
think
the
expectation
was
these.
Things
were
going
to
get
removed.
Q
A
B
B
F
X
C
Q
Okay,
so
another
one
of
the
areas
that
were
discussed
at
the
last
evaluation
was
the
financial
piece
and
just
to
review
on
a
scale
of
one
to
four
for
the
Michigan
Matrix.
A
four
was
under
two
two
percent
under
budget,
which
really
is
not
possible.
So
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
to
shift
The
Matrix
so
that
the
highest
achievable
grade
was
actually
the
perfect
score
of
being
on
budget.
Q
So
this
is
not
a
question
of
changing
the
content.
It's
just
a
question
of
adjusting
the
grades
to
reflect.
What's
actually
happening.
Okay,
so
Miss
cushenberg
I'd
like
to
move
that
we
adjust
the
financial.
Is
it
made
no
Financial
domain
of
Dr
Rodriguez
evaluation
to
make
the
highest
achievable
score
to
be
on
budget.
A
Here's
a
second,
exactly
Mr,
Dallas,
okay,
Mr
Dallas
got
your
first
Miss
Gordon,
that's
all
right!
Okay!
T
D
Yeah
I
I
was
asking
I
was
gonna,
ask
her
what
that
looked
like,
so
maybe
maybe
I
would
like
to.
D
Get
your
head
together,
I
like
to
make
a
a
a
a
mended
motion
to
the
upcoming
year
for
for
this.
For
that
to
be
a
part
of
the
evaluation
to
for
the
for
the
upcoming
a
year
if
I
get
a
second
on
that.
I
I'd
have
one
question,
so
this
does
not
preclude
us
as
a
board
saying
that
he
would
have
achieved
the
highest
rating
correct
this
year.
It
would
okay,
it
will
not
preclude
that
or
would
it
no.
I
A
Passes
it
would
stop
getting
a
possible
four
if
we
waited
and
just
shifted
into
next
year.
That's
and
that's
the
problem
when
you
have
a
test
and
100
is
not
possible.
Then
then
a
90
percent
I
mean
that's,
that's
not
good
enough.
You
know
you
have
to
have
a
possibility
of
making
and
meeting
the
objective
and,
under
the
current
thing,
it's
against
the
law
to
be
under
budget,
so
it
was
flawed
and
I
was
on
that
board
to
put
this
out
and
we
just
screwed
that
up.
So
it
has
no
grading
on
a
curve.
Now.
I
C
A
Q
I
will
tell
you
and
I
will
own
up,
because
I
was
made.
The
chair
of
the
results
committee
at
the
end
of
January
I
think
there
was
a
notion
that
the
ad
hoc
results
me
was
was
formed
in
January
and
then
it
completed
its
work
in
August.
You
know
September
October,
when
the
current
and
then
they
would
not
meet
again
right.
So
this
discussion
was
had.
We
just
didn't
vote
on
it.
We
all
agreed
at
the
last
evaluation
like
this
is
crazy.
Q
We
can't
give
him
a
four,
but
there
was
never
a
motion
brought
forward
because
it
kind
of
slipped
through
the
cracks.
Because
of
the
way
we
set
up
the
results
committee,
but
it
was
absolutely
discussed
with
the
board.
It
was
just
a
procedural
issue.
Q
E
You
know
it's
a
fairness
piece
right,
I
mean
you
know
you
can't
be
the
best.
You
can
be
right
with
the
model
right
it
it.
It
precludes
you
from
scoring
maximum
points
right
regardless
you
know
of
what
I
do,
because
I
can't
do
what
it
asks
you
to
do
in
order
to
get
maximum
points.
Well,
this
particular
one
is,
is
one
that
you
know
I
would
be
okay
if
the
board
would
change
that,
because
it
would
allow
for
for
that.
Okay.
R
Chair
well,
I
got
feedback,
Echo,
okay,
I
think
it's
resolved.
Thank
you.
So
I
I
somewhat
disagree
with
this
with
the
belief
or
the
premise
that
the
the
two
percent
is
not
possible
and
that's
simply
from
past
practice
or
past
board
meetings,
where
we
have
had
presentations
showing
that
we
had
slippage
that
year
in
millions
of
dollars
and
also
other
areas
of
savings
that
were
gleaned
in
a
budget
year
and
we
were
asked
where
would
we
like
to
allocate
those
dollars?
R
Because
you
know
we
do
need
to
to
use
it
so
I
I
wouldn't
necessarily
agree
with
that
statement.
I
I
would
be
more
in
favor,
with
maybe
changing
the
percentage
to
be
in
line
with
something
that
is
feasible,
based
on
historical
data
that
we
have
I
I.
Also,
you
know,
as
it's
written
right
now,
I
I
would
support
it
being
put
into
effect
in
this
year,
though,
I
don't
see
a
point
in
waiting
and
I.
R
Think
that
you
know,
if
we're
gonna
essentially
lower
the
bar,
then
we
might
as
well
go
ahead
and
do
it
I
think
our
district
has
been
given
many
accolades
in
regard
to
their
financial,
savviness
and
I.
Don't
see
it
as
being
a
major
detriment
to
the
evaluation
and
I'm
I'm
not
truly
concerned
about
that,
but
I
I,
don't
necessarily
agree
with
the
assessment
that
being
under
budget
is
something
that's
unavailable,
because
it's
happened
before.
Y
Thank
you,
Mr
chair
I
agreed
with
the
the
last
motion
because
it
was
removing
the
criteria
to
not
be
held
against
the
superintendent
I.
Don't
know
that
I
can
agree
with
this
one,
because
we're
moving
the
goal
post
on
this
one
after
after
the
the
the
grading
portion
or
the
grading
period
has
passed.
No
I
I
understand
you
know.
The
superintendent
obviously
is
in
favor
of
this,
and
but
I
I
agree
with
some
of
the
board
members.
Y
This
should
have
been
handled
a
while
ago
and
I
I
would
I
would
fully
agree
with
changing
this
for
the
next
grading
period,
but
for
this
graded
period,
I
I
don't
know
it's.
Even
though
it's
moving
the
goal
post
closer,
it's
it's
still
changing
the
criteria
after
the
period
has
already
ended,
so
I
I'm
conflicted
over
this.
Thank.
Z
Thank
you.
I
just
want
to
speak
on
this
from
another
point
of
view
having
being
on
the
results
committee
and
having
discussed
this
time
and
time
again,
I'm
pretty
sure
it's
been
every
single
time.
We've
met
thus
far.
Z
If-
and
this
is
just
a
hypothetical
if
I
were
in
Dr
Rodriguez's
position
or
anyone
else's
for
that
matter,
if
I
had
a
job
where
I
could
not
attain
a
perfect
score,
I
would
start
looking
for
another
job
year
after
year,
being
you
know,
held
to
a
standard
that
I
can't
meet,
because
it's
out
of
my
hands,
I
mean
I'm,
just
saying
it.
How
I
would
look
at
it
is
I
would
be
looking
for
another
job,
so
I
think
we
need
to
keep
that
in
mind
as
well
when
making
these
decisions.
Thank
you.
E
E
E
Without
going
over,
because
going
over
is
illegal,
I
don't
think
going
under
is
illegal,
going
over
is
illegal,
but
but
what
you
would
be
asking
me
to
do
to
achieve
maximum
score
is
to
put
aside
5.9
million
dollars
every
year,
not
use
it
leave
it
sitting
over
here
and
at
the
end
of
the
year,
go
sort
out,
fund
balance
and
we've
got
a
fund
balance
policy
which
we're
at
I
think
that's
really
the
issue
around
this
particular
piece.
A
E
D
At
this
point,
listening
to
everyone
and
I,
almost
myself,
you
know
this
is
a
bonding
contract,
just
something
to
some
degree
in
that
we're
talking
about
different
things
that
that
do
kind
of
pertain
to
that
and
listening
to
dronesky
said
that
we're
alone
we're
lowering
the
standards
which
we
would
never
want
to
I.
Don't
believe
that
I
definitely
don't
want
to
lower
the
standards.
D
I'm
concerned
that
that
we
possibly
need
legal.
We
need.
We
need
legal
advice,
because
this
is.
This
is
something
that
the
boy
I.
Don't
think
that
that
we
have
that
much
room
for
trial
and
error
for
trial
and
error.
I
would
definitely
definitely
not
like
to
I
would
definitely
not
want
to
violate.
D
Validation's
contract,
so
I'm
I'm
almost
want
to
yield
and
lead
to
legal
advice,
and
in
this
situation
I
mean
I
I
mean
when
you're
talking
about
this
I
I,
because
evaluation
is
a
part
of
the
contract,
so
I
I,
I,
I'm,
I'm,
I'm
real
unedge
about
that
I'm
about
this
whole
situation.
Now.
V
You
know,
since
I've
known
as
board,
we
have
changed
a
different
instrument,
how
we
very
superintendent,
and
tonight
we
are
cussing.
Almost
the
same
thing,
I
think
we
should
leave
take
that
off
and
this
valuable
evaluating
him
on
the
rest
of
the
stuff
and
go
from
there
and
next
year
come
up
with
starting
next
month.
V
G
Q
G
D
G
Victor,
nay,
somebody's
trying
to
connect
in
Elizabeth,
Haye,
nay,.
Y
Yes,
sorry
I
had
to
change
devices.
G
The
amendment
is
to
change
to
make
the
change
for
next
year
for
next
school
Year's
evaluation.
K
G
A
D
A
G
Q
Okay,
so
this,
let
me
just
can
I
just
make
a
little
sidebar
here
since
we're
going
down
this
Rabbit
Hole
anyways
I
just
want
to
point
out
I,
don't
like
the
way
the
Michigan
and
Beaufort
County
feels
like
a
square
peg
and
a
round
hole
or
a
round
pig
in
a
square
hole
and
Roe
on
financial
planning
says
this:
the
superintendent
shall
develop
and
maintain
a
multi-year
financial
plan
that
is
related
directly
to
the
board's
results,
priorities
and
operational
expectation
goals
and
that
avoids
long-term
fiscal
Jeopardy
to
the
district.
Q
That
gives
us
so
many
more
places
where
we
can
talk
about
what's
going
on
and
make
comments,
as
opposed
to
this
really
very
cut
and
dry,
two
percent
five
percent
on
budget.
Here's
your
score.
You
know
it's
the
difference
between
an
essay
and
a
multiple
choice
test,
so
that
in
mind
the
third
section
that
we
have
had
a
lot
of
conversations
about,
because
all
this
data
has
been
embargoed
for
so
long
is
the
academic
achievement
Gap
trying
to
pull.
B
Q
Here
section-
and
that
comes
out
of
our
what
we
might
call
our
results
policies
and
it
says
C
Matrix
and
the
Matrix-
is
a.
Q
Yeah,
it
is
under
so
once
you
get
through
all
the
different
domains,
you
get
down
to
the
measurable
components
of
evaluation
and
one
there's
three
student
achievement
and
it
says,
see
attached
Matrix
and
then
it
says,
and
then
it's
got
some
very
clear,
multiple
choice,
questions
for
financial
oversight
and
teacher
Recruitment
and
training,
and
that
is
because,
in
the
state
of
Michigan
the
achievement
of
the
students,
the
teachers
are
held
accountable
if
their
students
are
not
meeting
achievement,
goals
that
reflects
on
the
teacher's
evaluation.
Q
The
principles
then
are
held
accountable
for
the
school
for
the
teachers
and
so
on
and
so
forth
up
the
line
until
it
gets
the
superintendent
in
South,
Carolina
and
Miss
Gordon
I'm,
going
to
ask
you
to
expand
on
this
some
more.
That
is
not
how
we
evaluate
Educators.
So
to
me
this
is
the
most
glaring
example
of
where
we
are
using
a
metric
that
does
not
really
fit
what
we're
doing
here
in
Beaufort
County
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversations
about
this.
Q
Obviously,
student
achievement
is
one
of
our
top
goals
we
don't
have
to
put
in
the
handbook.
Everyone
knows
that
what
I'm
asking
the
board
to
consider
is
to
use,
rather
than
this
see
attached
Matrix,
which
I'm
not
even
100
sure
where
it
is,
and
we
don't
have
a
good
Baseline
on
these
numbers
that
we
at
least
use
the
coherent
governance
grading
policy
for
the
student
achievement
piece,
because
it
allows
us
to
go
into
more
detail
and
to
establish
a
baseline
for
Dr
Rodriguez.
Q
That
the
way
you
do
in
a
coherent
governance
is
student
achievement,
Gap,
closure,
Etc
are
goals,
I
think
there
are
three
goals:
achievement,
Gap
closure,
college
or
career
ready.
What
I
would
like,
because
he's
had
now
three
years
during
this
whole
horrible
pandemic
time
and
all
this
embargo
data
to
put
in
a
lot
of
policies
that
we
should
start
seeing.
The
fruition
of
I
would
like
to
use
making
reasonable
progress,
making
reasonable
progress
with
noted
exceptions,
meaning
that,
if
you
could
say
something
like
Gap
closure,
making
reasonable
progress.
Q
Q
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
that
under
the
superintendent's
dude
hold
on,
is
it
academic
achievement
student
achievement
student,
achievement
measurable
components
that
we
use
the
coherent
governance
model
of
reasonable
progress,
reasonable
progress
with
noted
exceptions
or
failing
to
make
reasonable
progress
to
evaluate
the
superintendent
in
those
areas.
Q
So,
under
the
stupid,
immeasurable
shoot
hold
on
I
just
had
it
measurable
components
that
we
use
the
coherent
governance
model
of
evaluation,
and
we
can
just
leave
it
at
that.
But
just
so
you
guys
know
that
would
involve
us
looking
at
in
depth
at
student
achievement,
which
would
include
looking
at
the
numbers
and
include
looking
at
the
programs
and
include
looking
at
staff
and
say.
Is
he
making
reasonable
progress,
reasonable
progress
with
noted
exceptions
or
failing
to
make
reasonable
progress?
Q
So
again,
not
looking
at
changing
the
goals,
not
looking
at
moving
the
goal
posts
I'm
looking
at
using
the
coherent
governance
evaluation
criteria
as
opposed
to
the
C
attached
Matrix
criteria.
Q
Think
I
said
I
just
think
that
this
numerican
I
think
it's
a
good
analogy.
This
multiple
Point
sat
style
question
for
student
achievement
does
not
allow
us
to
go
into
kind
of
the
detail
that
our
constituents
want
to
hear
and
does
not
allow
us
to
be
more
wide-ranging
in
our
evaluation,
and
this
is
one
of
whether
we
like
I
said
whether
we
have
the
goals
written
down
every
board
meeting
when
I
first
started.
This
was
was
hammered
in
where
student
achievement
is
our
primary
goal
and
I
can
get
behind
that.
A
C
A
Questions
comments,
Mr
Dallas
and
then.
I
Yeah
this
one
goes
back
to
the
fact
that
his
year
performance
has
ended
and
I
think
we're
talking
about
changing
the
grading.
That
is
very
problematical
for
me.
I
think
he's
done
an
excellent
job.
All
the
metrics
I've
seen
exceed
what
would
have
been
judged
against
the
state
performance.
I
So
I
think
that
what
this
is
saying
or
informing
me
is
that
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
for
us
in-depth
strategic
review
of
what
the
metrics
should
be,
but
2023-2024
and
the
ad
hoc
committee
results
committee
would
probably
be
looking
at
what
they're
planning
and
recommending
for
the
upcoming
grading,
View
and
I.
Think
that
would
give
in
plenty
of
time
to
actually
go
in
and
do
that
so.
Q
I
promise
you
that
Chloe
and
Elizabeth
Miss,
Gordon,
Miss,
hay
and
I
will
will
work
hard
to
making
that
possible
again.
This
goes
back
to
multiple
conversations.
We've
had
because
that
data
has
been
embargoed
by
the
state,
so
we've
never
established
a
baseline
on
which
to
do
the
Matrix,
and
that
was
something
that
has
been
discussed.
Multiple
times
is
that
during
his
tenure
as
superintendent,
which
has
been
predominantly
during
the
pandemic,
we've
never
been
able
to
get
good
and
timely
numbers
that
I
feel
like
we
could
hang
our
hat
on.
Q
So
we
have
talked
about
this
multiple
times.
Is
there
a
better
way
to
do
this,
I'm
proposing
that
we
sneak
a
little
coherent
governance
in
here,
because,
really
to
me,
what
I
want
to
evaluate
the
superintendent
on
is
not
whether
or
not
I
mean
right
now,
there's
so
many
confounding
variables
on
student
test
scores
and
attendance,
and
all
these
things
still
coming
out
of
the
learning
loss
from
the
pandemic.
Are
we
addressing
that
and
that's
not
even
in
our
evaluation?
How
are
we
addressing
learning
loss?
Q
What
programs
are
we
putting
in
place,
and
so
I
do
think
that
the
coherent
governance
has
is
a
pretty
good
model
for
that
which
is
reasonable.
Progress
towards
the
goal
of
student
achievement,
Gap
closure
in
College
and
Career
ready,
as
opposed
to
limiting
it
to
the
numbers
which
I
think
right
now
are
still
fairly
murky.
Foreign.
F
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman,
just
piggybacking
on
what
Miss
Boatwright
just
said,
but
I
I
would
like
to
hear
the
superintendent's
comments,
because
we
talk
about
being
fair
or
talk
about
being
fair
in
setting
his
goals
and
evaluations
for
him.
When
I
looked
at
as
Miss
Boatwright
says
those
three
components
that
we're
supposed
to
be
looking
at
I,
don't
know
what
I'll
be
looking
at
for
Dr
Rodriguez,
really,
what
kind
of
numbers
are
we
looking
at
for
him?
F
We
got
3.0
what's
3.0,
but
I
think
we
need
to
be
fair
and
make
the
goals
that
that
are
attainable.
That
he's
been
working
on.
But
there
are
there's
information.
We
don't
even
have
on
him
right
now
in
order
to
have
those
measurable
components,
that's
fair
to
the
superintendent
to
achieve,
because
right
now,
I
I
can't
tell
you
what
I
would
be
looking
at
if
I
was
looking
at
that
right
now.
F
So
that's
why
I
was
I'm
very
excited
about
making
components
that
are
measurable
and
that
he
understands,
because
we
owe
that
to
the
superintendent
and
then
he
owes
it
to
us
to
give
us
that
information
on
student
achievement
that
we
can
understand
and
if
the
parents
can
understand
and
the
principles
can
understand
what
he
wants
them
to
do
so.
Dr,
Rodriguez
and
I'm
not
trying
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
with
the
student
achievement,
measurable
components
be
something
that
you
can
I
know
you're
already
working
on.
F
E
I'm
Miss
Boatwright
captured
the
issue
around
this,
which
is
something
I've
shared
with
each
of
you
at
different
times.
E
So
you
know
when
you
look
at
the
evaluation
model
and
it's
waiting
a
quarter
of
the
overall
evaluation
on
that
right.
It's
not
to
say
that
I'm
not
about
student
achievement.
My
whole
entire
career,
if
you
look
at
my
track
record,
has
been
about
student
achievement,
but
I
do
come
from
a
system
in
Florida
where
student
achievement
was
a
part
of
each
individual's
evaluation.
Along
the
same
it
actually
wasn't.
K
E
E
My
evaluation
happens
to
be
in
October,
so
that's
typically
when
you
get
it
in
fact
this
evening,
you're
going
to
see
some
results
that
were
released
today
and
Productions
right,
not
projections,
some
results,
raw
data
that
was
released
today,
they'll
do
they'll,
do
some
work
on
it
in
terms
of
the
accountability
score
and
that
kind
of
thing,
but
you'll
see
some
of
that
today
during
the
superintendent's
report
and
presentation.
So
anyway,
that's
that's
the
issue.
I
think
at
hand
for
me
about
that.
That
issue.
D
You
know
I
I,
hear
what
Dr
Rodriguez
is
saying,
but
in
all,
in
all
fairness,
we
still
do
do
evaluations
on
teachers
and
principals.
D
At
the
end
of
the
day,
you
know
the
progressive
principals
could
say
the
could
kind
of
state
the
same
thing
that
they
are
kind
of
farther
away
from
the
classes
as
possible
themselves,
but
at
some
point
in
times,
if
that
building
is
not
successful,
then
something
has
to
change.
Well,
that
should
be
the
district
practice.
Is
that
the
building's
not
successful,
then
something
from
the
stock
from
the
tops
have
to
has
to
happen
to
make
sure
that
building
becomes
successful?
D
So
when
I
say
that
I
say
that
to
say
we
have
to
start
holding
accountable
the
person
at
the
top,
and
you
know,
unfortunately,
wherever
you
hit
the
class
or
not
we,
you
know
we
still
have
to
be
able
to
answer
to
constituents
what
that
looked
like
and
how
are
we?
How
is
that
being
measured?
And
what
can
what?
D
They
expect
me
to
be
able
to
have
that
conversation
with
them
and
be
able
to
have
that
conversation
in
in
length
with
results
and
and
with
with
talk
to
or
with
great
talking
points
to
be
able
to
tell
them
why
I'm
doing
what
I'm
doing
and
if
we,
if
we
don't
put
something
there,
I
think
it
becomes
very,
very
problematic,
because
we
still
have
teachers
that
are
being
put
on
or
who
are
who
still
have
and
who's
who
the
employment
Improvement
plans.
D
So
the
teachers
still
can
be
put
on
Improvement
plans
and
we
are
still
evaluating
principles
and
teachers,
then
based
up
based
to
some
degree
based
off
the
learning
the
learning
The
Learning
Experience,
that's
going
on
in
that
building.
Then
how
could
we
not
evaluate
the
superintendent
of
the
learning
of
the
learning
that's
going
on
in
this
in
this
District.
D
You
know
I
I
would
hate
to
go
out
there
and
people
say
well.
You
know
last
night,
hey
yeah,
yeah
I
said
y'all
didn't
want
to
evaluate
the
superintendent
or
anything
learning
loss
or
anything.
So
hey
next
week,
hey,
hey,
hey,
tell
don't
come
sit,
my
class
and
evaluate
me,
and
you
know
so
so
that
that
that
and
I've
had
that
come
I've
had
that
that
constituents
have
tell
me
that,
so
you.
E
Q
Yes,
absolutely
I
think
the
only
thing
I
would
like
to
change
is
that,
rather
than
using
the
hard
numbers
which
we
don't
currently
use
and
I,
think
that
Dr
Rodriguez
made
an
excellent
point
when
you're
trying
to
do
a
job,
you
are
trying
to
get
feedback
to
know
if
you're
doing
a
good
job.
If
you
need
to
improve
et
cetera,
Etc
whatever
it
is,
the
way
we
release
the
data
doesn't
even
give
him
a
fair
shot
at
knowing
where
this
data
is
that
he
needs
to
improve
on
so.
H
Q
Only
reason
I
said
is
that
when
you
have
a
budget,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
budget
priorities
are
to
student
achievement.
I
mean
achievement
right
right.
All
we
can
use
is
the
numbers
and
the
numbers
are
subpar
at
best
because
and
I'm
a
data
person
I'm
a
data
scientist
they're,
not
great
numbers
because
they
have
been
messed
up
with
all
they've
been
embargoed.
They've
been
turned
around
so
rather
than
limiting
ourselves
to
only
looking
at
the
numbers.
We
look
at
the
numbers
and
then
look
to
see
what
does
the
superintendent
done?
Q
That
has
impacted
these
numbers
and
that's
what
we
evaluate
him
on
it's
going
to
be
more
of
an
essay
on
our
superintendent
and
his
financial
piece,
rather
than
coloring
in
the
bubble.
Saying
that
you
know
you
hit
this
thing,
but
it
doesn't
mean
we
don't
use
the
numbers
at
all.
It's
just
not
the
only
thing
we
use
yeah.
D
D
So
there's
a
support
hit
me
up,
hear
me
I'm,
saying
Miss
Chloe
right,
so
so
with
understanding
that
if
the
principal
is
evaluated
on
that
alone,
then
the
superintendent
under
the
same
line
of
that,
because
the
person
was
only
a
replica
of
the
superintendent
because
he's
not
there
again
he's
only
one
person.
So
that's
the
lineage
of
him.
Q
I
thought
you
were
so
helpful
on
this
piece
because
I
don't
I've
never
been
evaluated
as
an
educator.
Can
you
talk
about
what
the
South
Carolina?
Because
my
understanding
is
the
super?
The
super?
The
principle
is
not
evaluated
solely
on
Gap
closure
and
College
and
Career
ready.
F
You're
right,
the
and
Dr
Rodriguez
can
tell
you
the
principles
have
different
goals
when
they
sit
down
with
the
the
superintendent
and
they
work
out
the
goals
for
that
principal
and
his
or
her
school
okay.
So
those
are
those
are
done
and
then
the
principal
in
well-
and
you
know-
will
take
those
roles
and
objectives
and
put
it
to
the
assistant
principle
and
and
teachers,
but
make
no
mistake,
numbers
data.
We
are
a
data
driven
school.
F
We
just
don't
say
you
know
a
school
did
this
and
b-school
did
that
we
we
put
those
numbers
together.
If
you
look
at
the
achievement
of
our
you
know
celebrating
the
the
principle
of
the
year,
it
wasn't
just
because
she
had
a
school
it's
because
of
all
the
things
that
encompassed
the
grading.
F
The
Gap
closure.
People
is
something
it's
just
not
saying.
Oh
I'll
make
up
a
school,
you
know
vote
right.
School
made
a
one
percent.
You
know
increase
yay,
no
vote
right.
School
made
a
10
point.
Well,
that's
big
big
because
she
had
to
touch
the
Mellow
male
African-Americans
sped.
All
of
those
are
inclusive
and
they
have
different
meanings
to
close
gaps.
Gapses,
you
know
African-American
students,
your
Hispanic
population,
your
white,
all
white,
you
know,
and
each
school's
point
system
is-
is
different
and
so
you're
looking
at
that
Improvement.
F
So
you
cannot,
with
all
due
respect,
Mr
William
lump
all
of
that
into
the
superintendent,
and
you
can't
say
that
the
principles
are
not
responsible.
That's
a
whole
team
and
they're
working
with
the
goals
that
from
what
we
give
the
superintendent
that
he
passes
on
to
his
principles
and
they
all
have
to
work
together
and
make
this
work.
So
when
we
put
up
here
evaluation
interest
instrument
for
him,
we
need
to
be
specific
so
that
he
knows
what
we
want
from
him.
This
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
principles.
F
F
But
what
I'm
saying
is
because
I
can't
hear
you
is
this:
we
have
to
be
fair
to
our
superintendent
so
that
he
knows
exactly
what
it
is.
We
want
from
him
and
evaluation.
I
think
we're
getting
hung
up
on,
but
this
should
have
been
done.
Well,
no,
the
old
board
didn't
do
what
it
was
supposed
to
do.
Forget
that
now
we
are
here
to
fix
this
now,
because
you
would
want
it
fixed.
F
You
would
want
it
fixed
so
that
you
can
go
forward
because
you
cannot
put
all
of
that
on
Frank,
but
he
has
so
many
other
people
working
with
him
to
achieve
this
goal,
but
he
needs
to
know
what
we
want
from
him
and
I
think
that
this
is
what
this
does,
and
this
helps
him
to
understand
and
I.
Don't
want
to
settle
any
superintendent
with
a
goal
that
he
or
she
cannot
meet.
I
would
never
vote
on
a
goal.
That
said,
he
had
to
close
the
achievement.
Gap
I'll,
be
more
specific.
F
I
want
to
see
10
points,
15
points
or
whatever,
but
we
have
to
do
that
to
this
superintendent
and
fix
what
didn't
get
done?
Forget
it.
Didn't
get
get
done
well,
looking
at
it
now
people
it's
a
word,
change
we're
not
adding
any
more
on
his
plate.
He
already
knows
this.
You
know,
but
then
we're
going
to
put
it
off
another
year
in
another
year.
A
D
Order
you
can
do
that
I,
don't
want
you
to
call
it,
because
I
think
that
this
is
a
very.
This
is
one
of
the
functions
of
the
board,
and
if
we
don't
get
you
anything
else,
this
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
while
we're
a
board.
Member
I
went
to
two
funerals
this
weekend,
but
I
mean
I,
mean
one
first
weekend
and
and
talk
to
several
families
who
have
who
have
a
kid.
So
educating
our
kids
are
very
important.
D
This
is
a
component
of
it,
and
this
is
one
of
one
of
our
duties
to
educate
our
our
employees.
So
I
think
it's
very
important
that
we
want
to
talk.
Talk
this
around
I.
Think
that
you
we
should.
You
should
allow
us
to
have
this
conversation.
Some
of
us
may
have
said
have
talked
one
time
and
I
need
to
get
more
more
clarity
on
it
and
also
understand
what
Mrs
Gordon
is
is
stating
because
I
understand
some
of
the
difference.
So
this
is.
D
A
D
A
R
Y
A
All
right
at
six
o'clock
we've
been
at
this
for
two
hours
like
to
take
a
10
minute
recess.
I
would
start
at.
B
B
D
Thank
you,
superintendent,
evaluation
of
the
the
evaluations
committee
I
just
want
to
make
them
make
I
like
the
make
a
motion
at
this
time,
because
I
was
very
uncomfortable,
making
all
these
decisions
based
on
the
superintendent's
contract,
as
well
as
as
well
as
the
changes
that
the
evaluation
tool
being
a
part
of
that
that
we
have
our
own
legal
council
when
we,
when
we
go
over
these
types
of
things.
D
So
at
this
time,
I
like
to
make
a
motion
that
moving
forward
that
when
we
go
over
the
superintendent's
evaluation,
the
same
as
this
contract
that
we
have
legal
counsel.
A
A
Finance
finance
committee
reports
at
the
last
finance
committee,
which
was
held
August
10th.
We
received
the
monthly
board
of
education
budget
and,
of
course,
the
his
career
just
started.
So
there
wasn't
anything
expended
in
that
budget.
We
looked
at
the
100
000
report
for
the
months
of
May
and
June
found
some
small
issues
that
were
clarified
at
them
at
the
committee
meeting,
as
well
as
the
transparency
reports
for
the
month
of
May
and
June
Miss
Denise
Matson
presented
an
executive
summary
for
Esser
funds.
Can
we
have
this
dashboard.
A
A
That
was
pretty
good,
Miss
Crosby
and
Mr
Brian
urick
are
Bond
Council.
Excuse
me:
our
financial
advisor
presented
The
Debt
Service
millage,
Levy
Levy,
summary
report
and
Miss
Crosby.
Would
you
come
up
and
get
that
report?
Please.
A
AA
The
report
you
see
before
you
was
prepared
by
Brian
Eric's
office,
our
Municipal
advisor
or
financial
advisor.
It
just
documents
justify
the
amount
of
millage.
Basically,
the
goal
of
this
report
is
to
justify
the
36.3
Mills
that
is
required
of
our
debt
service
fund,
and
so
those
are
on
the
school
debt
millage,
that
is
on
our
tax
bills,
and
what
comes
in
in
the
form
of
Revenue
is
is
tax
revenue,
Into,
The,
Debt
Service
fund.
AA
What
goes
out
is
principal
and
interest
payments
on
all
of
our
outstanding
bonds,
and
so
this
is
a
8
and
18
month
listing
of
what
those
bonds
will
be.
We
do
have
to
ensure
that
we
are
able
to
cover
both
the
spring,
the
fall
and
the
spring,
and
then
the
next
fall
as
well,
because
tax
revenue
doesn't
come
in
until
January,
December
and
January
of
the
following
year.
So
we
do
have
a
low
fund
balance
at
December
31st.
AA
That
is
the
lowest
point,
and
the
goal
of
our
low
point
is
about
5
million
dollars,
and
so
with.
That
is
the
information
that
you
see
before
you
today
in
this
report
has
been
emailed,
along
with
the
millage
rollback
information
and
the
County
ordinance
over
to
the
county
auditor's
office,
as
of
Tuesday
of
last
week,
this
to
to
to
justify
and
and
verify
the
amount
needed
for
our
millage
on
the
tax
bills
that
we'll
be
going
out
in
the
next
couple
of
months.
So,
if
you
have
any
questions,
I'll
be
happy
to
answer.
AA
AA
Okay,
so
about
every
11
years,
An
Occurrence
happens.
An
issue
occurs
on
our
pay
Cycles
because
we
pay
on
a
contract
basis.
So
if
employees
who
work
10
months
of
the
year
but
are
paid
over
12
months
of
the
year,
so
what
happens?
Is
the
calendar
as
we
pay
a
bi-weekly
payroll?
The
calendar
changes
each
year
by
adding
a
day
and
so
over
an
11-year
period.
AA
Our
employees
on
who
are
on
a
10
month
basis
or
11
month
basis,
end
up
being
paid
before
they
ever
start
work,
and
so
that
actually
did
occur
this
year
before
the
first
day
our
teachers
returned,
they
were
paid
on
Friday,
and
so
that
presents
a
problem,
obviously,
and
so,
and
often
if,
if
folks
work
for
a
few
months
and
then
leave
mid-year,
we
may
be
may
have
overpaid
them
as
well.
So
that
is
an
issue
with
the
26
pay
cycle.
AA
It
is
a
very
common
occurrence
in
the
education
World,
especially
for
those
for
those
who
pay
26
paychecks.
So
what
are
historically,
what
we've
done
is
to
for
each
one
time.
Every
11
years
we
extend
their
annual
salary
over
27
paychecks,
so
that
pushes
adds
an
extra
paycheck
to
the
end
of
the
cycle
and
so
next
year
that
that
will
not
occur.
AA
They'll
actually
work
two
weeks
and
then
be
paid
for
the
for
after
the
first
10
days,
and
so
this
year
we
followed,
along
with
what
has
historically
been
done
and
that
change
was
made
and
those
all
of
the
employees
have
begun
to
receive
their
checks.
In
this
cycle
they
were
notified
by
Ms
Walton's
office.
AA
We
jointly
wrote
this
letter
together
and
displayed
the
effects
that
it
would
have
on
the
average
teacher
and
the
average
classified
employee
and
including
the
pay
rates
pay
raises
that
we
we
were
able
to
provide
both
with
the
I
think
it
was
a
three
thousand
dollar
pay
increase
for
teachers
and
then
plus
a
step
increase
and
then
for
classified
I
believe
is.
There
was
a
South
between
the
salary
study
and
the
two
percent
Cola
or
three
percent
I
can't
recall
and
I.
AA
A
L
AA
Yes,
so,
as
of
let's
see
the
date
of
that
report,
let's
see
as
of
the
most
recent
report
and
that
was
provided
to
the
finance
committee
in
August
early
August,
we
have
expended
of
the
three
grants
for
from
the
Esser
funds.
AA
We've
expended
75
percent
of
the
80
million
dollars,
so
we
typically
spend
about
25
million
dollars
per
year
and
we
are
on
track
to
do
that.
So
a
hundred
percent
of
sr1
funds
have
been
expended.
Sr2
is
99.7
percent
and
it's
maybe
fully
expended.
By
now.
We
just
had
a
maybe
ten
thousand
dollars
or
very
small
amount
remaining
in
that
grants.
That
will
be
fully
expended
by
the
end
of
this
month,
which
is
when
it
expires,
and
then
we
have
Esther
3.
AA
So
as
you
can
see
by
our
graphic
in
the
far
bottom
left,
we
are
on
track
to
fully
expend
those
funds.
We
did
expect
a
little
uptick
in
the
summer
because
of
a
lot
of
the
summer
programs,
summer
Institute
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
then
it's
tapering
off
and
we'll
be
relatively
level.
What
you
see
in
the
blue
is
a
cash
flow
analysis
or
the
quarterly
projection
of
expenditures
will
continue
to
decline
as
we
go
through
the
remainder
of
the
grant.
AA
So
we
do
expect
to
fully
expend
this
and
we
are
on
track
to
to
do
that
and
are
constantly
monitoring
it.
Basically,
on
a
monthly
basis,
do
want
to
mention
that
we
have
the
meetings
to
discuss
Esther
transition,
we're
calling
it
that's
my
terminology
for
the
meetings
that
we're
going
to
be
having.
AA
So
we
do
have
a
meeting
coming
up.
We
had
have
had
a
series
of
meetings,
I'm
working
with
a
facilitator,
to
help
us
to
prioritize
gather
data.
Do
some
program
evaluation,
sort
of
things
to
make
some
decisions
about
as
we
move
away
from
the
federal
funding,
so
we're
working
with,
and
it
won't
be
a
a
one-man
show.
It
will
be
a
large
group
of
people
making
having
conversations
and
really
having
having
some
tough,
tough
decisions
to
make.
So
as
we
move
forward.
R
You
just
to
confirm
in
on
that
note
of
program
evaluation
and
the
the
transition
for
Esser,
I
I,
believe
I
asked
a
while
back
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
still
the
case
that
any
human
capital
that
is
employed
by
the
district
being
paid
for
through
Sr
dollars,
that
it
is
in
their
contract
that
that
is
a
that
is
a
temporary
position
paid
for
through
S
or
dollars.
Is
that
a
correct
assessment?
Yes,.
A
The
next
item
on
the
finance
committee
report
is
how
some
of
how
that
money
was
spent
and
Mr
Smith
asked
this
to
be
presented
and
Dr
Nakia
Campbell
presented
to
the
committee
information
on
the
computer,
Community
engagement
initiative
and
she
reported
that
there
were
12
active
sites
and
this
initiative
has
touched
nearly
600
students
since
January
2022
the
summer
Extended
Learning
Camp
was
held
July
10th
to
August
3rd
and
served
120
students
and
we're
going
to
hear
more
about
this
during
Dr
Rodriguez's
presentation
on
the
Community
Community
engagement
initiative
with
the
end
of
the
financial
report,
any
questions
very
none,
seeing
none
we're
going
to
the
operations
committee,
Dr
Candace
Bruder,
presented
the
second
quarter,
foia
report
from
April,
the
June
2023
Brandy
major
and
Dr,
and
Mr
Robert
otting
provide
information
on
the
grounds
contracted
Services.
A
There
were
some
questions
about
how
that
was
being
evaluated
and
done.
A
review
provided
information
on
the
scope
of
work
for
contractors
and
who
is
responsible
for
what
companies
had
representation
in
attendance
and
answered
committee
members.
Questions
at
that
at
that
meeting,
Miss
Brandi
major
shared
with
the
committee,
the
maintenance
and
custodial
monthly
update,
giving
us
all
the
initial
data
that
she's
been
collecting
and
Mr.
Rob
Corbin
presented
an
executive
summary
for
projects
through
July
1st
2023,
and
there
is
an
update
on
projects
available
for
the
full
board.
Q
I
have
a
question
about
the
foia
report
and
I
do
have
a
question
about
the
Hilton
Head
Middle
School
clean
up.
A
B
Q
Q
There
was
a
foia
request
for
something
called
the
gender
support
plan
and
that
was
sent.
What
is
the
gender
support
plan.
N
That
was
for
a
foia
request
that
was
an
email
search
for
the
terms.
Gender
support
plan
practice.
A
Okay,
yeah
we'll
get
to
that
Mr
odding
and
Miss
Carol
Crutchfield
presented
the
FY
2025
8
project
list.
A
committee
recommended
that
this
list
be
presented
to
the
full
board
and
will
be
presented
at
the
next
board
meeting,
but
it
is
available.
The
list
is
available
on
board.
Docs
I
encourage
all
board
members
to
go
through
that
list,
and
so,
when
we
discuss
it
at
the
next
board
meeting,
you
have
that
you
have
some
questions
and
and
comments
about
that
list.
This
boat
right.
A
A
Well,
it's
it
doesn't
affect
till
2025.,
okay
yeah,
so
we
have
plenty
of
time,
but
you're
right.
We
are
a
little
behind.
Yes,
we
normally
haven't
done
by
then
okay
Mr
otting
provided
information
on
the
vandalism
that
took
place
at
Hilton,
Head,
Island,
Middle,
School
and
Mr
otting.
If
you
want
to
brief
the
full
board,
please.
X
Sir
well,
by
this
time,
I'm
sure
that
most
of
you've
heard
about
the
incident
that
occurred
at
Hilton,
Head,
Middle
School.
At
the
time
of
the
operations
committee,
we
were
just
in
the
middle
of
it
and
letting
the
operations
committee
know
about
it
and
what
occurred.
Basically,
fire
extinguishers
were
extinguished
throughout
the
building.
The
HVAC
systems
carried
the
material
throughout
the
building
and
that
required
a
massive
cleanup.
E
Q
X
Well,
it
was
basically,
you
know,
since
the
the
cost
of
it
was
I
mean
in
the
end,
it
was
1.25
million
dollars.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
the
board
was
aware
that
was
going
on
and
what
yeah,
what
had
happened
and.
Q
X
Come
just
timing:
you
didn't
have
a
board
meeting,
it's
closest
to
when
it
happened,
was
the
operations
committee.
So
we
let
the
operations
committee
know
about
it:
okay,
okay,
because
you
actually
haven't
happened,
yeah
well,
you
had
the
the
work
session,
but
you
haven't
had
a
board.
X
B
Q
And
I,
just
my
thing
is
this
happened
and
I:
don't
think
it
was
your
committee
but
or
your
committee,
but
I,
don't
think
I
think
if
something
goes
to
the
board
for
information
purposes,
we
got
to
make
sure
it
comes
to
the
full
board
because
it's
not
on
this
agenda
either,
which
was
probably
just
an
oversight
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
not
informing
committees
and
not
the
board.
So
that
was.
A
A
Right,
the
last
item
on
the
operations
committee
is:
the
committee
went
into
executive
session
to
discuss
Transportation
routes.
The
board
has
to
approve
the
routes
and
that's
going
to
be
placed
under
for
business
action
at
this
meeting
at
the
next
operations
committee
is
scheduled
for
September
25th
at
5
00
PM.
That
concludes
the
operations.
Committee.
I
have
a
question:
go
ahead,
Mr.
D
Smith
just
to
also
clarify
and
also
bring
up
something
that
you
said
and
I
didn't
mention
it,
because
I
was
pondering.
You
said
in
the
community
engagement,
initial
initial
initiation
and
the
community
engagement
piece
that
I
thought
our
reason
is
going
to
bring
that
up
to
the
board
in
terms
of
the
cost
analysis
and
everything
on
that
as
well.
D
That's
correct,
okay,
let
them
know
also
that
was
initiated
by
Mrs,
boat,
right,
I,
believe
and
so
I
just
kept
kept
kept
it
in
the
air
so
that
when
we
get
to
it
that
the
declarity
would
be
there
just
to
you
said
that
I
bought
it
up,
but
yeah
I
was
just
bringing
up
something
that
Mrs
angry,
but
right
brought
up.
Okay,
thank
you.
E
This
morning
the
State
Department
of
Education
released
some
the
223
for
SC,
ready
and
and
SC
pass,
and
so
Dr
Stratos
has
a
presentation
prepared
to
share
with
the
board
to
provide
an
update.
W
W
I
do
want
to
put
that
out
there
with
that
good
evening,
Madam
chair,
I
know
you
she
had
to
sign
off
this
evening,
so
Vice
chair
tonight,
I
am
sharing
a
presentation
on
this
on
the
school
district's
unembargoed
SC,
ready
data
joining
me
this
evening
is
Nicholas
flowers,
our
director
of
accountability
and
Ashley
Hutchinson,
director
of
readiness,
SC
readies,
a
Statewide
assessment
in
English
language,
arts
and
Mathematics,
and
is
aligned
to
the
South
Carolina,
College
and
Career
ready
standards
it
is.
It
is
administered
in
grades,
three
through
eight.
W
Additionally
reporting
data
points
will
be
shared
on
the
SC
pass
science,
which
is
administered
in
grades
four
and
six
as
I
go
forward
forward
with
this
presentation.
I
want
to
make
note
that
the
state
acknowledges
the
following
reporting
categories
for
their
state.
Testing
does
not
meets
approaches,
meets
and
exceeds
of
these
four
reporting
categories.
Three
have
the
potential
of
earning
points
for
school
accountability.
W
Approaches
is
one
point
meets
is
two
points
exceeds,
is
three
points
in
reality.
There's
a
range
of
one
to
three
points
awarded
for
students
proficiency
levels
I
also
want
us
to
keep
in
mind
commentary
by
the
state
superintendent,
Ellen
Weaver.
This
data
is
a
tool
not
a
weapon,
just
like
a
GPS
app.
It
gives
a
clear
picture
of
where
we
are
on
the
map
so
that
we
you.
We
know
how
to
plot
our
course
to
get
where
we
need
to
go
with
that
Mrs
cushionberry
I'm,
going
to
ask
kindly.
W
What
I
think
is
important
that
in
this
presentation
we
captured
two
types
of
reporting,
the
raw
data
and
the
accountability
data
points
Mrs
kosherberry
Right
Now
is
sharing
with
you
is
giving
you
data
points
of
Who,
We
Are.
We
wanted
you
to
have
an
understanding
at
our
constituents
of
who
we
serve
in
Beaufort
County.
W
If
we
look
on
the
far
left,
it
gets
the
titles
per
row
you
go
to
the
table
on
the
very
bottom
and
I
have
to
share
I
want
to
walk
you
through.
Did
you
note
that
we
did
this
quick
today,
but
I
want
to
walk
through
the
first
bar?
Just
for
you
to
know
poverty,
we
serve
39
of
our
student
population
or
not
students
of
probably
are
students
of
poverty.
Sixty
percent
are
okay,
so
I
just
want
to
give
you
what
the
keys
mean
and
I'd
like
to
go
to
the
next
slide.
W
W
The
orange
are
our
students
of
color
black
African-American.
28.5
percent
are
gray.
Our
students
are
classified
as
Hispanic
29.6
percent,
the
slight
little
gold
bar
0.6
or
American
Indian
or
Alaska
Alaskan
natives
and
the
blue.
All
the
world
population
is
38.9
percent
white
and
are
tested
grades
of
three
through
eight.
Then
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please.
W
W
This
is
a
student
population
that
we've
been
able
to
give
the
most
consistency
to
they
had
breaks,
but
we
were
able
to
give
them
Foundation
at
their
knowledge
and
I.
Want
you
to
stay
with
that
for
a
moment
as
I
give
you
the
example
again
and
think
of
the
students
who
were
kindergarten
in
2019
2020,
who
last
year
were
third
graders
in
accountability.
W
Now
think
it
from
a
think.
From
another
perspective,
if
I
was
a
fifth
grader
in
2019
2020,
these
students
actually
had
a
greater
Gap
and
loss
of
time
and
impact
from
Educators.
Yes,
they
have
the
foundational
knowledge,
but
the
complexity,
knowledge
that
happens
as
you
go
up
at
grade.
Bands
students
going
higher
in
a
grade
level
actually
had
a
greater
up
a
chance
of
falling
backwards
at
academic
achievement.
W
E
Yes,
sir,
just
interject
as
you're
looking
at
that
slide
and
you
see,
for
example,
2122
83.9
percent
of
four-year-olds
qualified
for
pre-kindergarten.
What
that
tells
you
is
that
83.9
percent
of
four-year-olds
or
below
the
50th
percentile
developmentally
or.
E
E
AB
In
the
State
Department
of
Education
identify
several
risk
factors.
It
could
be
free
and
reduced
lunch,
Medicaid,
single
parent
literacy,
level
of
the
mother
and
the
father.
No
prior
preschool.
It's
a
list
of
about
10
to
15
different
indicators,
multi-language
learner,
social,
emotional
development,
at
the
time
of
the
screening
outside
therapy,
whether
you're
in
early
intervention
or
not
in
early
intervention.
So
it's
about
I
can
provide
that
to
the
board
so
that
they
know.
But
it's
a
it's
a
list
of
about
10
to
15.
W
D
AB
So
part
of
and
in
the
article
today
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
our
screening
process
looks
like.
So
it's
a
comprehensive
screening
process.
We
look
at
language,
cognitive
and
motor
as
well
as
social,
emotional
and
self
helps
help
skills.
We
also
do
a
hearing
and
vision
check
for
children
during
those
screenings.
One
of
the
leading
causes
of
preschool
developmental
delay
in
preschoolers
would
be
hearing
and
vision.
So
we
do
that
comprehensive
evaluation.
AB
AB
It's
just
it's
a
yes,
it's
a
Pearson
made
by
Pearson,
it's
the
dial.
Four,
the
fourth
edition.
It's
I
can't
know
the
developmental
of
indicators
of
Young
Learners,
it's
an
acronym,
but
it
is
used
across
the
state
and
Nation
wide
as
a
Readiness
indicator.
Okay,.
V
AB
I
understand
what
you're
saying
there:
there
are
a
lot
of
of
different
risk
factors.
Single
parent
is,
is
also
we
look
at
single
Inc
income,
a
level
of
the
parents,
but
single
it's
something
that
the
state
department
still
names
as
a
risk
factor.
W
Because
Ashley
don't
go
too
far,
we're
at
kindergarten
I'd
like
to
take
that
opportunity
to
share
the
amount
of
students
looking
at
2019
through
2023
and
and
building
on
kindergarten.
This
is
where
students
or
children
are
taking
sounds
and
making
employers
making
words,
making
sentences
from
pre-k
those
fine
motor
skills
to
actually
doing
more
movement.
As.
E
W
W
W
B
I
Thank
you
for
for
being
so
patient
and
allowing
us
to
look
through
there's
some
pretty
precipitous
drops
some
of
this
data.
K
W
W
So
as
we
are
having
outstanding
growth
at
literacy,
we
recognize
that
we
knew
that
nationally
there
was
going
to
be
a
slide
at
math
and
we
know
that
we've
held
our
own
in
math.
We
didn't
have
the
growth
in
math
as
we
had
in
ela,
but
at
that
I
believe
when
doing
analysis
of
the
amount
of
instructional
time
that
was
at
the
loss
of
another
content
area.
E
I
think
when
you're
looking
at
your
Ela
data,
your
Ela
data,
one
is
showing
you
that
the
district
has
scored
the
highest,
that
it's
ever
scored
in
the
state
of
assessment
and
that
it
continued
to
grow
and
move
forward
in
every
grade
level
and
I
believe
at
every
subgroup.
In
ela.
When
you
look
at
your
math
data,
I
believe
that
on
the
math
data
it
essentially
is
flat.
U
E
Steady
right,
but
certainly
science
just
hit
pretty
hard
and
math
was
initially
hard
in
the
pandemic
right
and
and
if
you
look
at
what
the
state
superintendent
put
out
with
respect
to
results,
the
message
was:
we're
doing
great
work
in
in
the
area
of
literacy
and
we're
moving
forward
in
the
area
of
literacy
and
we've
got
some
initiatives
and
some
programs
like
letters,
training
that
the
state
is
putting
out
to
support
that
continued
progress.
E
If
you
look
at
math,
she
basically
says
it's
clear
that
we
have
work
to
do
and
if
you
look
at
science,
it's
not
really
addressed,
because
that's
one
of
the
things
you're
seeing
Statewide
around
science
is
there's
an
impact
there.
But
essentially
in
terms
of
math
they're,
saying
it's
holding
steady
and.
W
W
W
Of
how
the
point
system
of
connecting
that
proficiency
measures,
because
many
times
we
don't
take
to
note
that
approaches
even
in
the
state
when
you
read
their
information
in
detail,
approaches
does
give
accountability.
Points
meets
kids
too
and
exceeds
obviously
gives
three.
It's
a
one,
two
three
model
or,
if
you
think
of
it,
like
the
traffic
light,
if
it
does
not
meets,
we
are
we're
on
mtss.
We
need
to
have
additional
services
for
Mary
I'm,
yellow,
as
approaches
I
need
some
additional
instructional
support,
green
I'm,
doing
good,
but
I'm,
not
green
enough.
W
W
As
you
go,
thank
you
so
here's
some
summary
points
on
English
language
arts
is
Dr,
Rodriguez
shared.
This
is
the
highest
district
performance
ever
88
of
the
schools,
showing
literacy,
increase,
increase
in
meats
and
exceeds
21
schools
are
showing
increase
of
statistically
of
three
percent
or
more,
which
is,
is
a
statistical
significance.
W
W
W
W
W
I,
do
not
want
you
not
to
realize
if
you
go
earlier
in
the
presentation.
Schools
that
are
not
showing
a
great
amount
of
blue
actually
had
significant
growth
this
past
year,
I
think
that
is
important
to
share
and
I
am
going
to
share
at
this
point,
when
we
conducted
a
quick
analysis
of
our
schools
involved
with
Extended
Learning,
they
had
growth.
I
Dr
Stratus:
this
is
a
very
interesting
information.
Is
there
any
overlay
about
socioeconomic
levels,
income
that
could
help?
You
know
reaffirm
what
you're
saying.
W
But
let's
not
leave
out
the
grit
and
fortitude
and
belief
that
you
have
in
your
children
that
could
outweigh
any
barrier.
I
have
to
say
that
as
well,
but
child
has
hope
and
I
believe
in
you
and
I
validate
you
that
takes
away
everything
and
I
have
to
say
that.
So
we
haven't
gone
into
that
analysis
to
that
level.
But
earlier
in
the
presentation
we
do
share,
you
share
the
distribution
of
representation
and
we
do
have
more
information
here
by
subgroup.
If.
I
I
could
just
support
what
you're
saying
growing
up
in
eastern
North
Carolina.
There
was
significant
poverty,
my
dad
fifth
mom
11th,
and
what
we
saw
was
that
in
families
where
education
was
stressed,
no
excuse
was
accepted
at
home.
Kids
performed
regardless
of
the
income
of
the
parents.
So
that's
a
couple
of
generations
ago,
but
it's
pretty
instructive
in
how
I
view
life.
Yes,.
D
Yes,
sir,
oh
just
listen,
I'm
trying
to
hold
my
questions
to
the
end
of
your
analysis,
but
do
we
have
last
year
last
year,
analysis
and
this
PowerPoint
and
anywhere
so,
where
we're
going
to
compare
the
these?
What
would
we
give
what
we've
been
giving
today
because
do
have
some
some
concerns,
and
then
you
know,
I'm
I'm,
also
hoping
that
this
is
not
the
only
time
that
we're
going
to
go
over.
D
It's
been
that
we
just
got
this
today
as
a
board,
and
you
know
I
haven't
had
time
to
digest
this
and
yeah
and
and
I
do
you
know.
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
understand
and
process
this,
and
even
though
we're
going
we're
going
over
tonight,.
W
I
recognize
that
this
these
data
points
we
received.
We've
worked
on
the
file
we've
gone
through
this,
not
maybe
to
the
depth
that
we
would
like
to
comparative
to
to
look
at
longitudinal
data
that
opportunity
we
can
bring
to
the
board
Mr
Smith
I
did
not
bring
comparative
for
the
past
three.
You
know
five
years
data
point
to
the
table
at
this
time:
okay,
I
I
can
I
can
have
that
prepared.
D
Yeah
yeah,
because
that's
also
gives
some
validity
and
some
understanding
just
come
to
the
point
where
Miss,
Dallas's,
Mr
Campbell
is
also
they've,
also
kind
of
elegantly
bought
two
different,
two
different
sizes
to
the
to
this
information
that
you
bought
tonight.
So
just
that
also
helps
us
just
to
process
it
a
lot.
If
you
would
a
little
bit.
W
D
Right
and
also
on
on
Slide
on
slide
six
I
mean
outside
on
Slide
Five
I
noticed
that
you
gave
us
a
for
the
for
the
four
Euros
you
get.
You
gave
us
a
a
basically
a
percentile
on
where
they
were
into
what
the
the
what
the
lower
percentile
is.
D
I
know
she
gave
us
that
only
four-year-olds,
but
I
would
also
like
to
see
that
as
well
on
the
just
for
consistency
as
well
for
the
for
the
for
the
kindergartens,
because
you
know
they,
you
know
they
didn't
audition,
they
they
go
up
and
they
come
down
as
well.
That's
who
like
to
have
an
analysis
on
them
as
well
as
well
and
understanding
where
they
are
in
terms
of
a
year
as
well.
So.
E
To
you
were
talking
about
Slide,
Five
I,
think
when
you
were
talking
about
the
early
childhood
and
the
Pre-K
right
that
bottom
number,
that
51
on
that
first
one,
it's
the
lowest
25,
so
that
that
is
51
of
those
that
are
screened
were
below
the
25th
percentile
right.
So
the
top
number
is
below
the
50th
percentile
right
and
the
the
percent
of
of
the
students
below
the
50th
percentile,
and
the
bottom
number
is
the
percent
51
percent,
in
this
case
below
the
25th
percentile
right.
D
And
I
was
asking
for
that
and
what
I'm
saying
is
that
I,
like
that
same
information
for
the
for
for
the
the
kindergartens?
Because
what
that?
What
that
does
that
begin
to
give
teeth?
And
that
and
that's
that?
That
brings
a
track
record
to
show
us
how
we're
growing
and
where
they
came
from
and
then
when
and
who's
learning
and
what's
being
what's
effective
and
what's
not
because
you
begin
also
to
get
to
begin
to
the
programs
that
the
district
offer
that
that,
at
that
time,
as
well,
yeah.
D
Therefore,
that
just
gave
us
more
measurable
teeth
in
terms
of
what
we
offer.
As
a
district
I.
E
Think
yes,
I
got.
You
I,
think
one
of
the
things
you
can
look
at
and
this
one
of
the
reasons
we
included
this
in
this
presentation
on
the
front
end
is
because
you
can
look
at
and
say
basically
they're
like
82
percent.
If
we
just
call
it
82
percent
right
are
those
Pre-K
that
you
see
there
right
you
because
there's
0.3.1,
but
let's
just
call
it
82
percent
or
discussion
purposes.
Okay
are
below
the
50th
percentile
right
right
and
you
look
at
that.
E
51
percent
is
below
the
25th
percentile
when
you
turn
around
and
you
look
at
slide.
Seven
right.
E
Seven
shows
you
that
in
language
arts
there's
a
significant
amount
of
progress
that
has
been
made
to
get
kids
up
to
you're
talking
two
different
assessments:
okay,
so
that
needs
to
be
noted,
but
but
there's
a
significant
amount
of
progress
made
to
get
that
many
kids
up
to
a
meet
and
exceeds.
D
That
one
year,
because
that
tells
us
to
disregard
a
lot,
not
just
our
kids,
coming
in
learning
versus
knowing
100
words
to
three
or
four
hundred
words
versus
the
kids
being
able
to
read
and
add
and
subtract
at
that
age.
Sure
you
know
so
that
that
tells
us
two
as
a
district
where
we
are
effective
at
it.
And
and
how
are
we,
how
we're
thriving
in
those
different
areas?
Sure
Dr.
W
W
50.6
of
those
kindergarteners
or
at
meets
or
exceeds
the
question
that
lies
in
between
that
is
a
utilization
of
other
assessments.
Kra
is
a
kindergarten
Readiness
assessment.
We
don't
have
standardized
tests
in
for
first
and
second
grade,
so
I'm
I,
don't
know
if
it's
going
to
be
fair
enough
to
say
now.
D
School
right,
because
you
as
a
parent
telling
me
just
from
this
right
here,
yeah
some
parents
would
say
well.
My
kids
were
also
nice,
a
different
movement
when
we
understand
we're
able
to
digest
and
have
that
conversation
just
off
based
off
what
you
tell
me
that
okay,
some
parents
would
think
as
long
as
my
child
is
getting
ready
by
third
grade.
You
know
it
is
what
it
is.
You
know,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
when
that
third
grade
test
comes,
that
my
child
is
ready.
E
E
W
W
So
this
is
providing
a
quick
summary
once
again
when
for
the
tables
that
you
had
prior,
so
the
district
held
a
study
in
math,
as
we
shared
with
you,
64
of
the
students
show
math
increase.
Eight
schools
shown
at
three
percent
increase
or
more
for
math.
Again,
that
is
a
statistical,
statistically
significant.
W
Two
schools
showing
double-digit
increase
from
meets,
exceeds
within
math
District
increased
within
math
for
grades.
Three
and
four
fifty
percent
of
the
schools
decreased
does
not
meet
expectations.
In
other
words,
this
does
not
meets,
goes
down,
approaches
and
exceeds
and
approaches
and
meets
and
exceeds
goes
up.
It's
a
seesaw.
The
fulcrum
actually
is
a
teaching,
but
we'll
go
into
that
another
time
69
of
the
students
are
proficient
approaches,
meter
exceeds
for
math,
so
we
still
have
growth
here,
Timmy
that
goal
of
82.
W
W
W
So
if
we
can
go,
thank
you
and
hold
that
slide
a
second
ma'am.
So
this
is
the
video
to
build
a
little
bit
on
our
Extended
Learning.
It
is
put
together
by
cheese
for
change
and
I
want
to
just
give
you
a
quick
background.
She's
for
change
represents
a
Consortium
of
educational
leaders
from
the
Northeast
to
the
Deep
South
from
the
Midwest
to
the
West
Coast
through
the
non-cons
continuous
U.S.
W
W
E
E
E
AC
J
W
May
I,
sir,
the
work
that
is
done
and
the
dedication
to
the
students.
Everybody
wants
to
be
a
BNA.
Everybody
wants
to
have
a
ribbon.
We
know
we
still
have
work
to
do,
but
I
do
want
you
to
walk
away
with
recognizing
that
we
are
moving.
Our
students,
I
stood
here
in
2020
talking
about
diagnostic
data
in
2021
I
was
like
oh
my
God.
How
are
we
going
to
do
this
and
no
I'm
not
where
I
want
us
to
be?
When
I
look
back
and
that's
why?
W
W
E
Been
asked
on
September
21st
to
go
to
Capitol
Hill
and
talk
about
this
initiative
and
the
impact
that
it's
having
in
terms
of
students
and
and
the
community.
Because
there
isn't.
Y
E
A
effort
to
achieve
for
change,
to
connect
with
policy
makers
and
legislators
at
the
National
level
to
suggest
the
funding
that
was
provided
to
schools.
E
There
are
examples
of
Excellence
that
can
be
replicated,
but
there's
that
funding
needed
to
keep
those
kinds
of
things
going,
and
so
it's
a
it's
an
effort
to
highlight
great
initiatives
and
great
programs
that
they've
found
across
the
country
and
and
share
it
with
policy
makers
and
legislators
at
the
national
level.
I
I
I
There
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
as
I
had
a
conversation
this
morning
with
a
gentleman
who's,
a
business
owner,
and
he
was
talking
about
the
culture
and
I.
Think.
If
we
look
at
the
culture,
we
see
that
there's
some
opportunity
to
you
and
those
young
kids.
What
is
possible?
They
see
what
the
challenges
are
in
life
of
helping
them
understand.
Man,
you
can
do
it
and
we'll
do
it
right.
Q
My
frustration
with
the
communication
piece
is
that
it
is
we're
not
scaling
it
out
into
the
rest
of
the
county.
I,
don't
know
when
we're
going
to
start
doing
that,
but
I
know
I'm
in
the
non-profit
area,
there
are
lots
of
people
in
Bluffton
and
okatee
and
on
Hilton
Head.
That
would
love
to
partner
with
the
school
district
and
they'd
love
to
offer
these
same
things,
these
same
small
family.
You
know
we
have
a
lot
of
big
non-profits,
and
so
everyone
knows
I'm
on
the
board
of
boys
and
girls
club.
Q
E
I
think
we
currently
have
well
we've
got
I
think
we
have
two
on
Hilton
Head
and
you
have
in
Bluffton
as
well
right.
Q
Q
Right
and
it's
been
going
on
for
a
while,
because
I
think
that
the
whole
security
of
the
school,
when
you
call
your
kids
school,
you
know
you
might
as
well
be
going
to
prison.
You
put
your
thing
under
like
the
little
thing
and
they
take
your
picture
and
they
label.
You
know
it.
It
has
kept
the
community
and
and
I
think
what
I
sense
is
that
the
community
would
love
to
get
involved
and
they
loved
all
hands
on
deck
and
they
love
to
help,
but
they
need
a
little
bit.
Q
We
need
to
grow
this
model
out
into
the
rest
of
the
community.
The
other
thing
is
focusing
very
much
on
young
children
is
phenomenal,
obviously
to
have
an
impact
on
the
scores,
but
one
area
that
I
think
is
so
under
rep.
It
seems
like
once
kids
get
to
high
school,
we
kind
of
figure
they're
done,
they
are,
who
they're
going
to
be?
Teenagers
need
to
have
that
same
sense
to
community.
They
need
to
know
that
people
care
about
them
after
school.
A
D
Y
I
I
would
say
that
I
mean
I've.
I've
mentioned
the
length
of
our
meetings
before
and
I've
always
gotten
return
comments
from
other
board
members,
but
I
I
would
say
that,
among
other
things,
but
not
limited
to
were
elected
to
present,
develop
vote
on
policy
in
a
manner
that
represents
the
majority
of
our
constituents
and
I
agree
with
our
fellow
board
members
that
that
does
not
have
a
time
limit.
I
get
that
it
takes
as
long
as
it
takes
to
do
these
things.
Y
I
would
say
that
I
was
not
maybe
elected
to
listen
to
board
members
who
don't
do
the
pre-reads
and
then
ask
questions
of
our
presenters
where
that
information
is
clearly
stated
in
the
pre-reads.
Sometimes
as
many
as
four
days
in
advance,
I
would
say
that
we
were
not
elected
to
to
listen
to
people
that
may
be
late
to
meetings
and
then
ask
questions
from
the
presenters
of
information
that
was
presented
when
they
weren't
there
at
the
meeting.
I
would
say
we
were
not
elected
to
listen
to
presenters.
Y
That
read
word
for
word
off
of
these
PowerPoint
presentations
again
that
were
presented
or
left
for
us
to
read
four
days
as
much
in
advance
and
I
would
also
say
that
we
were
not
necessarily
elected
to
listen
to
committee
chairs
have
presenters
present
all
their
material
twice
once
for
the
committee
and
once
for
the
full
board,
so
I
think
we
are
in
fact
wasting
a
lot
of
our
time
and
I
am
not
going
to
from
this
point
forward.
I'm,
never
going
to
vote
to
extend
our
meetings
ever
again.
Thank
you.
V
You
know
I'm
here
because
I
believe
in
in
in
in
in
in
children
enough
and
however
long
it
takes
I.
V
With
that,
you
know,
and.
V
D
And
I
would
say
that
I
I
definitely
agree
with
what
Mr
Campbell
just
said,
with
Mr
Campbell
being
the
oldest
person,
the
oldest
man
here
and
having
and
having
to
drive
thing
there
just
as
far
as
anyone
else.
You
know
that,
unfortunately,
you
know
and
and
just
for
instance,
just
in
in
terms
of
what
was
just
said,
this
packet
right
here-
that
we
were
just
given.
We
just
got
this
information.
This
is
majority
of
our
job.
We,
our
meeting
tonight,
consists
of
a
lot
of
our
functions
as
board
members.
D
So
maybe
some
of
us
just
ain't,
cut
out
to
be
a
board
member.
Sometimes
you
know
being
a
a
parent
or
stop
being
a
board
member
and
other
things
sometimes
for
some
people
it
just
don't
work
out.
Unfortunately,
you
know,
but
this
is
what
we
signed
up
for,
and
this
is
the
sacrifice
we
make.
D
You
know
and
I
will
continue
to
say
that
I
mean
just
just
as
an
example
of
making
sacrifices,
heck
I've
missed
I
miss
like
May
last
may,
just
last
year,
I
missed
my
business.
My
nephew
graduate
from
graduate
from
high
school
never
do
that
again,
but
that's
the
Blood
Sweat
and
Tears
and
sacrifice
that
some
of
us
make
to
be
board
members
and
that's
what
we
signed
up
for
thankful.
Thank
you
too,
for
here
for
hearing
how
you
how
how
you
definitely
feel
as
our
colleague
but
moving
forward.
That's
that's
still,
my
stance.
Q
I,
don't
want
to
Veer
to
this
conversation
right
now,
except
to
say
that
I
agree
with
Mr,
nay
on
a
lot
of
those
points,
because
yes
we're
here
for
the
kids,
but
there's
a
lot
of
data.
That's
that
meetings
that
go
over
two
hours,
which
most
School
boards
do
not
do
if
you
look
throughout
the
state
effectives
is,
is
an
immediate
drop
in
efficacy,
so
I,
don't
think
necessarily
we're
being
more
effective,
but
I
don't
want
to
get
it,
but
I
also
point
out
to
Mr,
nay.
D
I
just
want
to
point
this
critical
part
out
to
our
board
members.
You
know
we.
We
all
have
to
understand
too,
that
some
people
and
and
I'm
not
throwing
no
saying
this-
is
honest
to
God.
Some
people
learn
different
than
others.
We
get
a
parent.
We
talk
about
all
this
data
tonight
and
about
all
this
about
how
about
the
beginning,
there's
a
reason
why
the
district
gives
the
beginning
of
the
year
testing
and
the
end
of
the
year
testing.
Everyone
learns
different.
D
Sometimes
it
may
take
two
or
three
times
for
you
to
hear
it
and
understand
it.
Just
to
go
back
to
conversation.
We
were
having
early
earlier
tonight
about
the
superintendent's
evaluation.
Sometimes
how
you
perceive
things
I
may
not.
D
I
may
not
understand
it,
because
there
was
a
time
of
night
when,
when
just
right
here
where
Mrs
Mrs
Middleton
Ms
Middleton
broke
something
down
to
me,
so
there
may
be
times
where
somewhere,
some
of
us
learn
different
and
sometimes
they
may
take
for
a
person
to
visually
to
to
talk
to
us
and
tell
us
something
tonight
in
executive,
Session,
One
board.
Member
said
hey
look
here.
I
had
you
gave
you
gave
me
this,
you
gave
me
this
this
document,
but
I
need
to
see
it
drawn
out.
D
A
I'd
like
to
call
the
question:
that's
color
question
Miss,
Christian
Mary.
Will
you
call
the
role
please.
G
Angela
Middleton,
yes,
Earl,
Campbell,
right,
Rachel,
winesky
I
think
she
has
left
Richard
Guyer,
yes,
William
Smith,
yes,
Chloe
Gordon,.
A
A
D
That
one
for
well
I
do
have
a
question
to
concerning
this.
This
package
right
here,
all
right,
ISD,
yeah,
I'm.
Unfortunately,.
D
Oh
yes,
yes,
ma'am,
also,
and
and
with
the
information
that
you've
given
us,
I
I,
do
hope
that
this
is
not
going
to
be
the
last
time
that
we
go
over
this
because
also
I
like
to
understand
the
school
rankings.
What
does
this
put
us
at
in
terms
of
our
of
of
our
schools?.
W
D
Right,
okay,
right
and
and
okay,
because
I
mean
this
is
a
lot
of
information,
a
lot
of
information
to
digest,
to
understand
and
process
it,
and
this
is
this-
is
what
people
people
actually
ask
me
in
the
community.
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
be
a
good,
a
a
good
Steward
of
the
people's
trust,
so
Dr.
W
D
E
Because
what
happened
what's
going
to
happen
is
this
is
just
raw
data
right
right.
So
now
what
the
state
does
is
the
state
will
look
at
that
and
and
transfer
that
into
accountability,
okay
and
and
what
you're
asking
about
so
what
you're
asking
about
really
isn't
going
to
come
out
until
October?
Thank
you
all.
C
Hello,
so
I
don't
know
if
well,
Dr
rodrigue
gets
a
separate
away,
but
let
me
give
some
some
background
information.
Oh
you
want
to
talk
about.
Yes,
please
talk
about
the
first
steps.
Partnership.
Are
you
aware
who's
who's?
Aware
of
that.
E
Yeah
so
first
steps
partnership.
We
have
somebody
that
is
has
a
seat
at
that
table.
Ashley
Hutchinson
has
been
at
that
table
and
come
on,
and
so
every
we
have
I
have
to
sign
that
and
then
I
think
it
comes
to
the
board
for
approval.
Yes,.
AB
So
we,
the
way
it's
been
in
the
past,
is,
is
that
Dr
Rodriguez
appoints
someone
from
the
district
or
himself
as
a
board-appointed
seat
to
the
first
steps
board.
Now
that
Governor
McMaster
has
identified
first
steps
as
their
own
entity,
so
they'll
be
their
own
501c3.
AB
C
So
much
so
so
Vice
chair,
I,
move
that
the
Board
of
Education
appoint
Rebecca
stemple
coordinator
of
early
childhood
and
parenting
education
to
the
Beaufort
County
First
Steps,
local
partnership
Board.
Second,
a
second.
A
G
D
C
The
next
thing
that
we're
going
to
vote
on
is
the
annual
bus
route,
so
we
have
some
information
about
that.
X
Yes,
you'll
find
in
your
packets,
our
inboard
docs
the
the
routes
for
the
start
of
the
Year.
These
are
required
by
the
state
in
order
to
figure
out
the
number
of
buses
each
district
needs.
I
have
to
thank
Dr
wozniewski
for
bringing
this
to
our
attention,
because
we
have
not
done
this
in
years
past,
but
there
is
a
requirement
that
the
board
approved
the
bus
routes.
So
with
that
I'll
take
any
questions
you
might
have
and
I
believe
the
director
of
Transportation
Miss,
moletto
O'brien,
is
on
the
line.
B
B
AC
C
Q
Q
G
No,
the
only
thing
the
only
thing
that
was
changed
is
Tanya
Crosby,
but
everything
else
was
the
same
from
last
year
and
yes,
we
did
follow
the
plan
from
last
year.
The
other
thing
that
was
removed
was
the
TSI
priorities,
because
we
no
longer
have
to
do
that.
Q
So
we
did
oe-9
Construction
in
May
and
we
did
OE
12
instructional
program
in
July
and
when
are
we
doing
the
oe5
financial
planning,
which
is
supposed
to
be
in
the
September
I
guess,
is
that
next
next
one?
Yes,
okay,
so
I
feel
like
we
haven't
seen
OES
in
a
while,
but
I
haven't
I
didn't
have
a
chance
to
go
back.
So
we.
E
Haven't
because
there's
a
there's
a
gap
in
there
regarding
oe's.
C
E
That's
correct:
when
we
we
went
through
an
exercise
in
getting
the
OES
approved
by
the
board
and
timing
of
things,
and
the
board
had
made
adjustments
to
some
of
the
dates
on
those
things
and
then,
when
it
came
back
to
staff,
we
we
connected
it
to
the
calendar
of
when
certain
things
are
available,
and
then
we
had
to
come
back
and
request
that
that
it
get
adjusted
to
to
a
different
calendar
for
some
reason.
So
some
of
the
items
on
here
are
certainly
specific
to
certain
times.
G
K
A
Motion
carries
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
on
the
consent
agenda
and
the
agenda
says
that
each
set
of
meaning
meeting
minutes
will
be
voted
on
individually.
So
do
I
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
August
1st
2023
board
meeting
minutes
so
I
moved
second
by
Mr
Dallas
any
discussion
hearing
none
seeing
none
company.
G
F
A
D
F
D
Yes
tonight,
when
we
went
when
we
went
over
the
the
community
engagement
plan,
I
was
looking
for
the
the
the
cost
of
it
and
how
much
it
actually
is
cost
of
District,
as
in
the
total,
all
over
I
mean
as
a
hold
within
its
entirety.
D
So
I
was
I'm
still
waiting
waiting,
I
still
be
waiting
waiting
for
that
and
as
well
as
also
I
would
like
to
to
I
like
to
understand
how
much
we're
paying
in
league
and
legal
and
legal
representation
fees
as
a
district
as
a
whole
as
well.
Okay,
and
what
that
looks
like
all.
A
Right,
a
finance
committee
will
put
that
and
bring
it
to
the
full
board.
Thank
you.
Okay.
Any
other
future
agenda
topics.
A
Hearing
none
seeing
none
second
public
comments,
we
didn't
get
any
second
public
comments
come
in
correct,
so
the
next
item
of
agenda
is
determined
with.
Is
there
any
objection
to
a
German
by
unanimous
consent?
We
are
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
