So.
A
F
F
A
B
A
H
I
War
we're
going
to
see
a
massive
change
in
technology.
That's
going
to
revolutionize
the
military.
During
the
Civil
War,
we
had
Ironclad
ships,
we
had
rifled
cannons,
but
they
were
all
made
out
of
iron
and
they
were
not
terribly
effective,
but
it's
technology
is
going
to
change
after
the
Civil
War.
We're
going
to
see
steel
produced
and
steel
is
much
harder.
So
now
we
have
a
new
material
to
make
armor
out
of
for
ships.
So
we
can
have
these
armored
ships
made
with
steel
in
a
much
more
resistance.
A
shot
because
I
have
steel.
I
I
can
make
stronger
barrels
for
my
guns.
I
can
rifle
and
machine
these
much
better
and
the
rifling
is
the
spirals
that
are
cutting
the
barrel.
That
allows
it
to
shoot
further
with
more
accuracy,
and
we
can
also
now
have
breech
loading
guns
that
can
lock
from
behind.
So
I
can
load
my
gun
from
behind
I
don't
have
to
go.
Have
the
whole
black
powder
muzzle
loading
Cannon
head
before
now?
I
I
can
fire
much
more
rapidly
if
I
compare
the
gun
of
1890
to
The
Guns
of
1860
for
the
same
caliber
same
diameter,
gun
of
the
1890
gun
will
be
able
to
fire.
Projectile
is
four
times:
heavier
can
shoot
it
three
times.
Further,
can
put
it
in
with
greater
precision
and
can
put
it
through
much
more
armor
than
anything
we
had
in
1860s
World
difference.
I
A
military
historian,
ER
Lewis
would
say
that
the
change
between
the
Civil,
War
and
1890
in
artillery
technology
was
the
greatest
that
would
be
seen
since
invention
of
artillery
in
the
14th
century
to
the
introduction
of
the
nuclear
projectile
in
the
1950s.
So
there's
been
a
huge
change
in
gun
technology.
At
the
same
time,
it's
not
just
the
steel
but
also
the
powder
that
fires.
These
guns
is
different.
We
have
new
chemical
makeup
and
so
like
cordite
is
invented
now
and
it's
still
a
widely
used
military
explosive.
I
Even
today,
smokeless
power
is
invented
during
this
period
of
time,
and
it's
not
just
chemical
composition,
but
it's
the
details
of
how
you
make
the
grain
how
fast
they
burn.
So
much
like
the
skill
of
firing.
A
solid
rocket,
solid
fuel
rocket,
it's
that
same
kind
of
Technology,
that's
been
developed
in
these
gunpowder
and
this
new
powder.
So
our
weapons
of
this
day
are
much
much
greater.
They
would
be
the
great
killing
machines
of
World
War
One,
most
of
the
casualties
on
the
battlefields,
World
War
one
would
come
from
artillery.
I
I
They
are
now
equipped
with
these
fine
long
range
guns
and
they
now
become
the
dominant
threat
of
the
late
19th
early
20th
century.
This
is
the
threat.
The
French
and
English
would
bombard
cities
like
Cairo
and
reduce
them
to
Rubble
because
they
were
unable
to
defend
them.
So
this
is
how
the
world
was
seeing
the
threat
from
this
new
technology.
Big
battleships,
are
the
threat
of
the
era
and
new
guns
and
fortifications
on
the
ground
or
what
you
have
to
have
to
defend
against
them.
H
One
of
the
most
important,
but
first
things
that
happened
after
the
Civil
War
is
they
built
a
railroad
to
Port
Royal
sound
which
didn't
exist.
It
was
the
first
connection
of
the
sea
Islands
of
the
Mainland,
the
advantage
of
that
railroad
is
it
brought
cold,
Port
Royal
South.
So
when
the
coal
was
delivered,
the
Navy
followed.
I
In
1872,
Robert
Smalls
was
in
the
South
Carolina
legislature
and
he
pushed
through
a
resolution
to
the
Secretary
of
War,
calling
for
them
to
put
a
Navy
station
on
Paris
Island
and
eventually
he
would
go
into
Congress
where
he
would
continue
his
support
for
a
Navy
station.
Here
in
the
Beaufort
Port
Royal
area.
They
eventually
opened
a
Navy
station
here
and
a
cooling
station.
H
They
created
in
the
1890s
on
Paris
Island,
the
largest
Dry
Dock
in
the
United
States.
This
is
the
period
when
the
U.S
Navy
was
switching
from
sail
to
steam.
All
the
Navies
of
the
world
need
the
coaling
station.
This
was
the
principal
coaling
station
because
of
the
railroad
for
the
Caribbean
and
South
American
U.S
fleets.
This
would.
I
Be
the
biggest
Dry
Dock
south
of
Norfolk.
In
fact,
it
is
the
only
Dry
Dock
south
of
Norfolk
Virginia,
that's
capable
of
taking
these
new
modern
battleships
to
these
new
modern
armored
Cruisers.
So
this
becomes
at
this
point
a
strategic
Navy
Basin
that
it
provides
coal
and
it
provides
a
top-line
support
to
the
ships
and
they
can
repair
the
hulls
of
even
the
biggest
ships
in
the
U.S
Navy.
I
Following
the
Civil
War
National
strategy
and
emphasis
in
the
United,
States
shifted
from
to
recovery
from
war
and
all
of
our
Coastal
fortifications
went
into
neglect.
The
military
was
busy
taming,
the
west
and
Coastal
defenses
became
something
that
was
no
longer
important
and
the
rest
of
the
world
technology
is
moving
forward
and
they're
developing
these
battleships
they're
developing
new
high
quality
artillery,
and
this
is
going
on
worldwide
and
in
1885
president
Grover
Cleveland
appointed
the
Endicott
board.
I
This
was
headed
by
secretary
War,
Endicott,
William
Endicott,
and
the
board
would
meet
initial
report
in
1886
and
they
said
the
conditions
of
our
Coastal
defenses
were
just
unbearably
cannot
be
allowed
to
stay
like
that,
and
they
made
recommendations
for
fortification
and
improvements.
They
identified
29
places
that
needed
fortifications
and
11
of
which
were
critical
in
that
list
of
29,
Savannah
and
Charleston
on
the
list.
But
Beaufort
is
not
on
the
list.
H
So
the
USS
Maine
was
here
on
patrol
and
in
the
harbor
and
while
they
were
in
the
harbor
several
times,
they
entertained
the
local
population.
So
the
merchants
and
the
social
leaders
and
the
political
leaders
of
Beaufort
were
invited
to
come,
have
lunch
with
the
captain
of
the
ship.
Captain
sigsby
and
the
officers
got
to
know
the
people.
The
people
got
got
to
know
the
officers.
The
crew,
which
was
large,
would
go
ashore
on
payday
and
make
friends
with
everybody
in
town.
I
At
that
point,
somebody
in
the
war
department
realized
that
we
had
this
big
Dry
Dock,
the
only
Dry
Dock
in
the
South
that
could
take
on
and
repair
these
big
Capital
ships
that
were
in
our
Navy
we're
going
to
start
operations
against
a
power
in
the
Caribbean,
and
this
fort
was
totally
undefended
and
that's
what
put
Fort
Fremont
on
the
map
we
had
to
have
a
fort
here
to
defend
the
coaling
station,
and
especially
this
big
Dry
Dock,
as
well
as
this
fine
Harbor.
That's
here.
H
And,
of
course,
that
event,
which
killed
300
or
more
Sailors
on
the
ship
was
very
much
followed
by
the
local
news
media
and
very
much
lamented
by
the
many
friends
that
the
crew
had
made
here.
The
destruction
of
the
USS
Maine
was
a
personal
matter
to
Beaufort
and
to
Port
Royal
Center
and
of
course
it
was
the
Spanish-American
War
and
the
attempt
to
defend
this
Harbor
again,
which
led
to
the
creation
of
Fort
Fremont.
The
United
States
declared
war
on
Spain
in
in
April
1898
and.
I
By
early
may,
we
had
temporary
batteries
in
place
here,
submarine
mines
were
in
place
and
in
the
summer
they
would
actually
place
the
mines
across
the
Beaufort
river.
Behind
me,
the
temporary
batteries
were
a
temporary
expedient.
They
were
located
to
my
left
about
a
thousand
yards.
They
immediately
began
construction
of
what
would
become
Fort
Fremont.
The
large
batteries
would
House
of
large
guns
battery
four
Nance,
the
rapid
fire
guns.
The
smaller
battery
was
completed
by
June
of
1898.
H
I
J
Well,
Fort
Fremont
was
named
for
a
Major
General
John
Fremont.
He
was
actually
a
local
boy,
so
to
speak.
He
was
born
and
grew
up
in
Savannah
Georgia,
just
south
of
us,
and
went
to
college
in
the
College
of
Charleston
up
just
north
of
us
in
Charleston.
He
served
in
the
Army
and
primarily
initially
as
a
Explorer
as
army.
Forts
were
generally
named
for
army
officers
and
he
was
connected
locally.
J
We
are
sitting
in
the
number
three
gun
position
of
a
three
gun
battery
Jessup,
which
had
three
10
inch
disappearing.
Carriage,
large
caliber
guns
reach
loading
guns.
Their
purpose
was
to
engage
the
more
ships
that
might
be
entering
the
harbor
and
Port
Royal
sound
we're
here
now
at
the
second
battery
that
was
part
of
Fort
Fremont.
This
is
battery.
Four
Nance
was
named
for
Army
officer
that
was
actually
killed
during
the
Spanish-American
War.
During
the
Battle
of
San
Juan
Hill
battery
Finance
mounted
two
British
made
4.72
inch,
Armstrong
quickfire
guns.
J
They
were
called
quick
fire
because
they
loaded
were
loaded
with
a
complete
cartridge
and
it
in
time
of
action.
They
could
fire
four
two
six
rounds
per
minute.
The
purpose
of
battery
Finance
was
to
defend
a
Minefield,
which
was
the
other
component
of
the
Endicott
Coast
artillery
or
or
Coast
defense
system,
a
Minefield
with
controlled
mines
controlled,
meaning
that
they
were
connected
electrically
to
Shore
and
could
be
fired
on
command
from
Shore.
J
That
control
station
would
have
been
probably
shared
with
the
plotting
room
and
in
order
to
protect
the
Minefield.
Obviously,
an
enemy
would
want
to
interfere
with.
That.
Might
send
vessels
small
ships
in
here
at
night
to
try
to
interfere
and
this
battery
would
take
those
vessels
Under
Fire.
If
there
was
some,
there
was
suspected
that
they
were
doing
something
to
interfere
with
the
mines,
such
as
pulling
up
the
cables
and
cutting
those
the.
I
D
The
life
for
the
soldiers
at
Fort
Fremont
was
disciplined
and
regimented.
They
even
had
meal
times
were
specified
lengths
of
time
15
minutes
for
lunch.
15
minutes
at
breakfast,
20
minutes
of
supper.
They
had
to
practice
their
skills.
They
were
training
and
doing
maintenance
constantly.
If
you
can
imagine
with
these
big
guns,
they
had
to
have
skills
in
and
practice
the
skills
in
artillery
mind
laying
signaling,
which
involved,
in
our
case
at
Fort,
Fremont
the
use
of
the
fire
control
tower,
which
was
pretty
sophisticated
and
advanced
signaling
technique.
D
Then
they
also
had
to
practice
the
typical
military
skills
marching
and
drilling
Small
Arms,
fire,
first
aid
and
so
forth.
In
addition
to
that,
they
also
had
participated
in
athletics.
They
had
physical
training
PT
and
they
also
had
sports
teams.
So
this
was
to
keep
them
physically
fit
so
that
they
could
continue
their
their
duties
because
they
were,
it
was
pretty
rigorous
at
Fort,
Fremont.
I
When,
eventually,
the
decision
was
made
to
move
a
dry
dock
and
the
culling
station
in
the
Navy
station
up
to
Charleston,
then
this
fort
no
longer
became
significant.
There
was
nothing
left
here
that
was
to
be
protected.
At
that
point,
1911
the
last
troops
were
transferred
out
and
the
fort
was
closed.
H
In
1901,
the
mayor
of
Charleston
and
the
United
States
Senator
Pitchfork
Ben
Tillman
from
South
Carolina,
wanted
this
to
move
from
Beaufort
County
to
Charleston
County,
because
there
are
more
votes
in
Charleston
County
and
the
mayor
wanted.
The
U.S
Corps
of
Engineers
in
the
Navy
to
dredge
the
harbor
of
Charleston,
because
battleships
in
those
days
required
26
feet
of
water
Charleston's
natural
Harbor
is
15
feet
of
water.
Port
Royal
is
30..
You
know
what,
in
order
for
Charleston
to
sustain
its
Port,
it's
commercial
Port.
It
had
to
dredge
the
harbor.
H
H
I
The
fort
did
its
job
the
deterrent
for
anybody
that
wished
to
attack
these.
It
provided
protection,
in
fact,
the
whole
indicator
system,
although
never
challenged
in
this
era.
Here
in
the
United
States,
provided
some
300
major
guns,
Coastal
guns,
to
protect
major
areas
and
left
the
United
States
at
the
beginning
of
the
20th
century,
with
his
well-defended
Coastline
as
any
place
in
in
the
world,
but
I
I.
H
Would
just
like
to
say
that
it's
a
magnificent
artifact
of
an
era
and
it's
an
era
that
has
been
neglected.
The
turn
of
the
20th
century,
the
naval
station
across
the
river
here,
and
so
it's
a
it's
a
piece
of
History
that's
disappearing
and
the
friends
of
Fort,
Fremont
and
Beaufort
County
have
preserved
it
for
the
use
of
the
public
and
as
a
memorial
to
that
moment
in
history,
Fort.
L
Fremont
closes
at
350-year
story
of
Homeland
Security
addressing
European
imperialism
in
the
19th
century.
It's
a
tale
of
how
geography,
technology
and
National
Security
creates
a
transition
for
America
to
become
a
global
power.
It's
also
a
wonderful
snapshot
of
America.
In
the
beginning
of
the
20th
century,
the
friends
of
Fort,
Fremont
and
Beaufort
County
have
a
valued
partnership,
working
in
tandem
to
preserve
the
fort's
integrity
and
promote
the
historical,
natural
and
cultural
aspects
of
the
fort
most
important.
We
are
always
looking
for
creative
ways
to
enhance
visitor
experience.

Water
east
of
the
Continental
Divide
drains
to
the
Atlantic,
while
water
west
of
the
Divide
flows
to
the
Pacific
and
one
drop
of
rain,
can
cross
many
different
watersheds
along
the
way
as
runoff
flows
into
rivers,
streams

storm
drains.
The

picks
up
trash

creating
a

of
pollutants
that
is
extremely
hazardous
to

Many
cases
people
mistakenly
identify

not
be
the
problem
it
may
be
coming
from
agricultural
runoff.
It
may
be
coming
from
storm
water
runoff
over
parking,
lots
and
impervious
surfaces.
Every
Watershed
is
different
and
you
need
to
look
at
each
Watershed
in
its
own
terms
and
then
think
systematically
about
how
you
remediate
how
you
clean
up
that

The
flood
of
27
massive
levees
were
put
in
place
and
while
they
helped
protect
the
Lower
Mississippi
River
Basin
from
flooding,
the
levees
and
other
human
activities
would
ultimately
harm
the
Watershed
in
unforeseen
ways.
The
gulf
state
of
Louisiana
is
the
Terminus
of
the
Mississippi
River,
the

So
what
exactly
is
causing
this
dead
zone
in
the
Gulf
hypoxia
develops
when
an
area
of
water
receives
excess
pollutants,
primarily
an
overabundance
of
nutrients
which
produce
large
algae
blooms
that
die
off
and
lead
to
low
oxygen,
and
since
the
Mississippi
gets
fed
by
tributaries
that
flow
through
31
states.
That
adds
up
to
a
staggering
volume
of
contaminated

The
way
we
treat
our

because
we
use
them
as
our
garbage
dumps.
We
use
them
to
dilute
our
pollutants
and
things
like
that
and
it
flows.
Downstream
I
believe.
The
statistic
is
that
if
you're
in
New
Orleans
the
water
that
is
going
by,
you
has
passed
through
human
gut,
something
like
three

Reducing

in

the
heart
of
the

It's
an

over

The

it

then
it

to
try
my

to
keep

The

to
the
extent
that

AT
AT
I
thought
that
the
worst
and
most
pernicious
heinous
aspects
of
anti-black
white
supremacy
were
long
gone
and
that
I
was
naive
about
that
and
we've
seen
him
rise
in
hate
speech,
anti-Semitism
anti-gay
attitudes
and
people
when
people
become
frightened,
particularly
about
their
economic
future,
they
look
for
scapegoats
and
the
scapegoats
traditionally
have
been
Jewish
people,
women,
gay
people
and,
of
course,
in
this
country,
people
of
color.
So
it's
a
a
moral,
a
lesson:
let's
don't
go
back
to
what
happened
with
the
roll
back
to
reconstruction.
AS
AT
It
was
one
of
the
greatest
heroes
of
the
Civil
War
and
reconstruction
served
five
non-consecutive
terms
in
Congress
because
he
was
constantly
being
accused
yet
of
stealing
money
and
misappropriating
funds.
They
were.
There
was
a
mythology
sanctioned
by
the
discipline
of
History
located
at
Columbia
University
called
the
Dunning
School,
led
by
historian
Professor
Dunning,
and
they
found
every
way
to
traduce
the
achievements
of
black
people,
and
that
has
only
been
undone
by
historians
since
Dubois
published
black
reconstruction
and
most
notably
under
the
leadership
of
another
Columbia.
AT
Professor
professor
Eric
foner,
with
whom
we
made
a
reconstruction
series.
He
was
our
chief
consultant
plus
we
have
over
40
historians,
doing
modern
Cutting
Edge
scholarship
on
reconstruction
that
whom
we
feature
in
the
series.
So
it's
very
much
a
collective
series
and
it's
very
much
a
Counterpoint
to
the
received
interpretations
of
reconstruction
fabricated
by
the
Dunning
School.

When
Richard
T
Greener
graduated
from
Harvard,
the
first
black
man
to
graduate
from
Harvard
in
the
class
of
1870.
Where
was
the
land
of
opportunity?
Was
it
in
New
York?
Was
it
in
Boston?
Was
it
in
Philadelphia
Charleston,
came
to
Charleston
and
went
to
Colombia
and
served
on
the
faculty
and
took
law
classes
there?
The
a
black
man
from
England
from
Liverpool
England,
Robert,
Brown
Elliott,
came
to
to
Boston
in
1867.
AT
The
British
Navy
could
smell
the
opportunity,
headed
straight
to
South
Carolina
and
worked
for
Richard
Harvey
Kane's
newspaper
then
was
elected
to
congress
very
eloquent
man,
and
this
was
where
it
was
at.
This
is
where
it
was
happening
and
when
I
interviewed
representative
Clyburn
his
office
in
the
in
the
Congress.
AT
I
mean
it's
like
a
museum
you
go
in
there
and
all
these
brothers
are
on
the
wall
and
we
talked
about
the
fact
that
South
Carolina
had
a
black
majority
in
the
House
of
Representatives.
You
can't
imagine
that
now,
South
Carolina,
even
in
the
18th
century,
was
called
negro
country.
It
was
a
black
State
and
very
soon
that
was
dismantled.
So
it's
no
surprise
that
many
of
the
most
vicious
battles
over
race
occurred
here,
because
it
was
an
attempt
to
control
this
black
majority.
AT
AT
The
the
taking
out
events
in
newspapers
to
reunite
families
and
the
fact
that
80
percent
of
the
eligible
black
men
in
the
South
registered
to
vote
in
what
I
call
the
First
Freedom
Summer
the
summer
of
1867
and
500
000
of
them
cast
their
votes
in
the
general
election
of
1868
for
Ulysses
S
Grant.
That's
amazing
and
people
form
schools
historically
black.
What
we
now
call
historically
black
colleges
and
universities
like
Shaw
and
Howard,
but
elementary
schools.
AT
AT
There
weren't
public
Statewide,
Public,
School
Systems
and
the
Reconstruction
governments,
particularly
in
South
Carolina,
particularly
as
designed
by
Robert
Smalls,
established
Statewide
Public
School,
Educational
Systems,
which
hadn't
been
done
before,
which
is
a
shock
to
people.
And
that's
because
black
people
understood
the
value
of
Education.
AS
AS
AT
No,
the
collapse
of
reconstruction
was
a
conspiracy
between
economic
interests
and
political
interests
in
the
North
and
in
the
South
they
said.
12
years
is
enough.
There
was
a
economic
Panic
of
1873,
which
was
called
the
first
Great
Depression
and
people
looked
around
and
said
why
we
spend
all
the
money
on
these
Negroes
in
the
South.
AT
AS
AT
Why
Dylan,
McGee
and
I
made
this
series
and
with
PBS
we'll
get
and
I
am
on
the
road?
You
know
I
flew
down
to
Beaufort
from
Harvard
I.
Did
my
official
duties
I
jumped
on
JetBlue
and
came
down
here,
because
I
wanted
to
South
Carolina
screening
to
remind
people
that
this
is
Ground
Zero?
That,
then,
is
now
and
I
want
to
do
one
in
Charleston
and
I
want
to
do
one
at
the
Pen
Center
as
well.
AT
First
of
all,
I
want
reconstruction
modules.
First
I
want
reconstruction
modules
to
be
created
in
the
classroom,
so
that
reconstruction
is
as
Central
to
a
course
in
American
history.
As
the
Civil
War
is,
or
World
War,
One
or
World
War
II
reconstruction
was
our
first
experiment
with
interracial
democracy
and
it
was
crushed
and
the
only
way
we're
going
to
survive
as
a
society
is,
if
we
fashion
forms
of
interracial
democracy
and
collaboration
that
allow
a
multiplicity
of
voices,
sexual
orientations,
religious
beliefs,
Etc
gender
identities
to
thrive
and
live
in
harmony
and
peace.
AU
The
Old
Town
Master
Plan
was
devised
in
probably
2006
right
around
there.
We
were
starting
to
see
the
growth
effect.
Our
small
town
coming
West
off
the
Hilton
Head
and
moving
its
way
into
Bluffton
and
Bluffton
was
just
this
small
somewhat
of
a
square
mile,
but
growing.
So
we
decided
to
put
some
money
and
a
lot
of
our
efforts
into
what
is
called
the
Old
Town
master
plan.
It
was
adopted
in
2006
and
it
really
is
a
blueprint
for
all
of
our
policies,
improvements
and
improvements
in
our
historic
district.
AU
So
the
garden
house
is
behind
us.
It
is
a
historical
structure.
It's
the
probably
the
last
Friedman's
Cottage
that
it's
on
the
river,
so
you
look
at
it
and
people
think
tear
it
down.
Well
again,
if
you
go
back
to
this
Old
Town
master
plan,
it
would
tell
you,
enhance
your
structures,
put
your
time
and
effort
and
your
money
into
places
that
can't
be
duplicated.
My.
AV
Wife
and
I
live
here
in
Bluffton,
and
this
has
been
a
piece
of
property
that
we've
looked
at
since
about
2008
and
before
the
restoration
and
renovation
started,
and
something
that
we've
been
interested
in
seeing
progress
over
time.
Well,
it's
it's
very
interesting.
The
the
har
the
house
has
been
called
the
Garvin
house
for
just
kind
of
folklore
vernacular
and
as
Melanie
marks,
my
wife
went
through
the
the
genealogy.
It
became
clear
that
his
real
name
was
Cyrus
Garvey,
but
through
transfer
of
deeds
and
other
other.
AV
AW
Know
the
history
says
that
he
built
the
house
in
1870
shortly
after
Freedom
on
property
that
belonged
to
Joseph
Boehner,
who
was
a
plantation
owner
his
summer
home
was
here
on
this
property,
but
his
Plantation
was
near
or
possibly
in
the
bounds
of
Palmetto
Bluff,
the
development
and
somehow
Cyrus
was
able
to
work.
This
land
build
his
house
in
1870,
but
didn't
get
deeded
the
property
until
1880
by
Joseph
baynard.
When
you
think
about
this
house-
and
he
was
living
here
in
the
view
that
he
had
it's.
It's
amazing
my.
AV
AX
Could
we
help
well?
What
brings
us
to
Bluffton
is
This
Magnificent
house
here
the
Garvin
house
we've
been
working
as
as
director
of
the
Palmetto
Trust
I'm,
all
over
the
state,
working
with
municipalities
and
and
communities,
and
this
has
been
on
our
radar
ever
since
I
came
on
in
2007..
This
was
an
amazing
story
of
this
family.
After
freedom
was
able
to
build
their
own
lives
here
in
their
own
property.
This
is
kind
of
a
unique
situation
because
most
of
the
properties
we
work
with
do
get
turned
into
private
homes.
AX
AY
Basically,
when
we
took
over
this
project,
there
was
a
stabilization
project
which
basically
means
where
these
6x6
is.
Cribbing
carries
a
steel
beam
that
pretty
much
runs
through
the
length
of
the
house,
so
you've
got
one
here
and
you've
got
one
pretty
much
that
runs
down
the
center,
and
this
was
basically
to
give
support,
because
you
can
see
the
structure
got
to
the
point
of
where
it
really
couldn't
stand
by
itself.
AY
So
you
can
see
it's
not
too
hard
to
pull
down
it's
almost
completely
off,
but
we'll
take
this
down
photograph.
It
document
it
and
we
put
it
back
in
the
same
place.
This
is
some
of
the
original
old
beam
and
basically
it's
anywhere
from
six
inches
to
six
and
a
half
inches,
because
it's
all
rough
unit,
it
was
all
done
by
ax
and
basically
we're
hand
saw.
So
it's
not
perfect.
AY
So
it's
got
a
little
bit
of
a
stem
or
a
little
bit
of
a
wave
here
and
there
so
we've
interlocked
and
tied
it
in
when
we
dug
the
footing.
We
came
across
a
lot
of
interesting
things,
so
just
various
bottles,
little
baby,
perfume
bottles
and
things
like
that.
Just
you
know
that
would
be.
You
know
precious
to
them
back
in
the
day,
and
these
are
some
of
the
old
original
Lids
from
The
Cannery
from
the
Oyster
Factory
I
kind
of
always
enjoyed
the
challenge
of
looking
at
something
and
trying
to
look
at
okay.
AY
AY
So
as
time
progressed,
they
needed
more
room,
they
basically
just
notched
in
add
it
to
the
foundation,
brought
a
new
roof
out
and
now
this
became
basically
another
room,
bedroom,
living
room
area,
kind
of
a
kitchen
area
here
and
obviously
you're
not
running
down
to
Home,
Depot
and
Lowe's.
You
can
see
they
actually
just
went
down
to
the
beach
got
sand
and
basically
mixed
a
sand
mortar
and
you
can
see
some
of
the
oyster
shell
pieces
in
it,
and
things
like
that.
Just
that's
amazing.
AY
It's
basically
because
of
the
fact
we've
got
a
heavy
duty,
Foundation
like
we
have
now,
and
this
used
to
be.
Basically
what
they
would
do
is
take
a
Cypress
stump,
hopefully
Cyprus,
because
it
would
last
longer-
and
this
is
1870,
but
they
would
bury
this
into
the
ground
and
then
they
would
start
all
of
their
heavy
beam
and
Framing
and
basically
sit
on
top
of
this.
AY
You
have
Milestones
every
day
you
think
after
you
know,
I've
been
doing
it
for
close
to
30
years
that
you
know
it's
different
every
day
and
it's
a
challenge,
so
we
have
a
staircase
that
was
intact.
So,
instead
of
having
to
remove
it,
we
kind
of
kept
it
in
place.
We
worked
under
it
around
it
in
it
and
we
temporarily
secured
this
thing
eight
different
times.
While
we
put
the
floor
system
under
it,
this
basically
is
our
racks.
AY
So
when
we
actually
physically
take
something
off
the
structure,
we
want
to
know
where
it
is
and
what
it
went.
So
what
we
would
do
is
we
would
physically
remove
it
photograph
and
then
we
would
go
ahead
and
just
label
this
piece.
What
side
of
the
house
it
was
on
where
it
was
at,
and
it
basically
gives
us
a
guide
to
put
this
giant
puzzle.
You
know
back
together
again
this.
AX
Is
a
restoration
most
of
the
type
of
things
that
are
done,
a
renovation,
a
rehabilitation
that
allows
them
to
be
modern
use?
We
do
have
modern
codes
that
had
to
be
implemented
here
because
of
its
Public
Access,
but
every
effort
was
made
to
try
to
ensure
it
communicated
what
these
people
had
to
build.
So
we
didn't
put
in
these
big
brick
Piers,
underneath
that
would
have
been
normal.
We
just
using
wooden
stumps.
This
is
what
they
had,
but
everything
has
worked
to
give
the
aesthetic
look
of
the
type
of
house.
AV
Capture
a
point
in
time
to
capture
what
it
would
have
been
like
again.
This
is
a
piece
of
a
broader
picture
to
capture
what
a
family
Cyrus
Garvey
was
living
in
here
with
his
wife
and
children
in
these
reclaimed
wood.
At
the
time
it
was
reclaimed,
it
could
have
been
taken
from
houses
that
were
burned
after
the
war
ended
and
put
this
together
where
he
lived,
and
then
that's
why
the
genealogy
and
the
history
of
him
and
his
family
is
so
important
because
it
isn't
just
a
building.
AX
It
communicates
a
time
and
place
that
not
many
places
do
anymore.
You
know
when,
when
in
the
low
country,
where
you
have
such
development
pressures,
usually
little
wooden
boxes
like
this
get
destroyed
and
lost,
and
so
this
communicates
something
post-civil,
War
post-enslavement.
You
know
it's
about
it's
about
these
people
surviving
and
overcoming
enslavement
into
a
place
of
freedom
and
their
niche
in
property
in
their
own
house,
and
and
that
transitional
story
is
not
told
enough
in
the
state
and
we're
so
glad
it
could
be
done
here.
The.
AY
Now,
where
we're
basically
done
with
the
framing
now
we're
kind
of
putting
the
puzzle
back
together,
you
get
a
feel
for
when
they
actually
put
it
together
and
you
can
see
their
frustrations
when
they
ran
out
of
a
particular
species
of
lumber
or
something
to
use,
and
they
just
change
it
up
and
and
still
kept
going
and
pushed
forward
when
we
get
back
just
the
methodical
way
that
we
put
it
back
together.
My
biggest
concern
was
these
beautiful
oak
trees
that
have
surrounded
this.
AY
That
was
the
scary
part,
because
I
did
come
down
here
three
days
after
the
storm,
and
there
was
trees
and
power
lines
down.
I
couldn't
even
see
the
house
I
got
down
the
road
as
far
as
I
could
and
looked
at
the
house
and
I
was
like.
Oh
my
gosh.
It
just
blew
me
away
that
the
thing
was
still
here:
high
and
dry,
no
leaks,
no,
nothing,
no
damage,
and
that
was
just
you
know,
lucky
very
lucky.
AW
AV
In
this
community
and
in
this
country,
these
days
is
a
very
important
thing,
because
there's
so
much
strife
and
there's
so
much
conflict
and
friction
to
actually
have
a
community
like
this
say.
This
is
important.
It's
important
to
put
our
money
here
and
it's
important
to
show
how
people
over
time
did
work
together
and
respect
each
other
and
we're
resurrecting
not
only
a
house
but
really
a
legacy
for
an
individual
that
Rose
above
a
big
challenging
time.

We're
going
to
begin
our
celebration
tonight
with
our
character
at
student
of
the
month
character,
education,
our
character
education
program
was
formed
to
support
for
to
support
parents
efforts
to
develop
good
character
in
their
children.
Tonight
we
are
celebrating
the
character
ed
student
of
the
month,
exhibiting
the
character
traits
of
courage
and
tolerance.
BD
Courage
is
defined
as
doing
the
right
thing
in
face
of
difficulty
and
following
your
conscience.
Instead
of
a
crowd,
tolerance
is
defined
as
realizing
that
everyone
is
at
a
varying
level
of
character
development.
We
are
happy
to
announce
that
our
character
education,
student
of
the
month
south
of
the
broad
for
October,
is
Crystal
Buck.
An
eighth
grade
student
at
Bluffton,
Middle
School
here
to
tell
us
more
about
Crystal,
is
our
science
teacher,
Miss
Guerra.
BB
BB
BB
So
she
more
than
any
other
of
the
890
students
in
our
school,
exhibits
the
courage,
she's,
fighting
and
she's
getting
through
this
chemo
so
that
she's
able
to
return
to
school
and
she's
doing
it.
With
that
same
smile,
you
see
in
that
picture,
so
we
are
very
thankful
for
Crystal
and
we
are
honored
to
accept
this
award
for
her.
BD
BE
Good
evening
board
members
so
I'm
here
to
talk
about
patty,
shulikoff
patty
is
an
exceptional
educator
who
consistently
demonstrates
Leadership
Excellence
in
both
the
classroom
and
the
community.
She
has
been
instrumental
in
growing
the
arts
program
in
our
school
district
and
fostering
an
appreciation
for
art
in
our
community.
BE
In
addition
to
a
lot
of
you
know,
as
Miss
Walton
had
said,
she
has
been
in
the
district
for
a
very
long
time
and
she's
done
a
lot
as
a
leader
in
art,
education.
She
started
the
the
art
National
Honor
Society
at
Hilton,
High,
School
and
she's
also
helped
Educators
in
other
schools
to
do
the
same.
She
also
is
the
moderator
of
our
quill
and
scroll
Society
Collins
Grove
society,
which
is
the
Honor
Society
for
journalism.
So
she
has
a
lot.
I
can
go
on
and
on
about
our
accomplishments.
BE
Just
in
the
last
year,
our
yearbook
was
recognized
for
its
creativity,
nationally
recognized
and
she's.
Also
through
her
work
with
her
students,
a
lot
of
the
students
work
has
been
displayed
nationally
in
our
state,
fair
and
also
at
the
coastal
Discovery
Museum.
So
for
a
body
of
work,
Ms
showcoff
was
named
in
South
Carolina
art
secondary
art,
educator
of
the
Year.
Congratulations.
BE
BB
BF
BG
It
is
my
pleasure
to
welcome
Katie
Donahue
to
come
forward,
got
to
know
Katie
a
little
bit
and
her
life
is
incredibly
busy
these
days.
She
aspires
to
veterinary
science
in
the
future,
but
if
that
follows
falls
through
or
if
she
chooses
her
alternate
path,
it
would
be
more
along
along
the
lines
of
architecture
where
she
can
employ
her
art
skills.
You
can
see
her
amazing
2D,
drawing
the
flower
that
is
in
the
upper
right
there
and
just
so
proud
of
of
Katie
and
all
of
these
students.
BG
AH
Of
cardboard
with
me
tonight
good
evening,
you
guys
is
my
assistant,
coach,
Laura
Fuller
and
will
be
as
quick,
but
as
congratulatory
as
we
can
with
the
particular
group.
The
Trophy
and
the
girls
already
took
all
their
medals,
but
the
trophies
back
at
the
school
coach
momentair
does
not
know
I
snagged.
The
cardboard
I
did
have
to
get
somebody
to
go
to
his
office.
AH
I'm
coach,
Whitey
camper
I've
been
coaching
girls,
tennis
for
some
time
now,
and
the
last
time
that
we
had
won
the
State
title
was
when
Emily
rucknow
was
a
freshman
she's,
now
a
senior
with
lots
of
accolades,
and
she
is
one
of
our
team
captains
who
is
here
today
we
were
undefeated
in
the
region.
We
were
17-1
for
the
entire
season.
Hilton
Head
Island,
High
School
had
two
All-Star
athletes
invited
to
the
state
singles.
AH
So
not
only
did
we
and
I'm
gonna
call
out
Emily
last
but
I'm
going
to
let
Coach
Fuller
call
out
and
recognize
those
girls
that
showed
up.
Today
we
have
18
Athletes
on
the
team
and
all
18
spent
all
season.
There
are
only
seven
playing
positions:
five
singles
and
then
from
number
six
down
to
number
eighteen.
The
best
two
doubles
players
and
I'm
Gonna
Stand
by
for
the
last
17
years.
The
team
that
wins
second
doubles
usually
wins
States
and
our
doubles
team
cinched
it
for
that.
AH
AH
She
has
played
159
matches
for
Hilton
Head
Island
high
school.
She
has
won
124
of
them.
She
is
a
third
person
in
my
coaching
career
that
has
made
that
100
Mark,
but
never
a
hundred
wins
Emily
rucknow
won
all
state
singles
this
year
and
Haley
poplin,
who
is
not
here
today,
would
have
possibly
had
that
option
for.
Third,
if
she
was
not
put
up
against
Emily
in
that
sense,
so
Emily
had
to
bump
out
her
teammate,
but
we
did
have
two
All-State
athletes.
AH
It
is
not
public
knowledge,
but
she
has
committed,
and
hopefully
in
the
spring
verbally,
hopefully
in
the
spring,
after
her
appointments
and
her
interviews,
she
can
announce
where
she'll
be
playing
and
she
has
not
burnt
out
on
the
sport
and
for
three
years
in
a
row,
the
South
Carolina
coaches
association,
approximately
18
different
coaches
in
those
last
three
years
out
of
the
six
times
she's
gone
to
State
singles
have
voted
her
for
the
third
time.
The
sportsmanship
award
wow.

The
Michelin
Junior
designed
challenge
winner
Kylie
Moore
from
Bay
River
High
School.
A
couple
of
weeks
ago,
Kaylee
Moore
high
school
student
was
presented
with
the
Michelin
design
challenge
award
at
the
Hilton
Head
course.
The
de
la
Elegance.
If
I
could
direct
your
attention
to
the
screen,
we
have
a
short
video
to
share
those
highlights.
BI
Thousand
dollars
riding
into
the
Winner's
Circle,
this
may
River
High
School
student
won
the
sixth
annual
Michelin
Junior
design
Challenge
and
was
given
a
check
for
one
thousand
dollars
at
the
Hilton
Head
Island
conquered
Delilah
Johnson
motoring
Festival.
The
this
year's
challenge
asked
students
to
design
a
futuristic
vehicle
to
take
them
on
an
adventure
of
their
dreams
in.
AB
The
presentation
I
mentioned
that
I
have
dysgraphia,
so
I
have
an
issue
conveying
what
I
think
and
my
dreams
into
words.
So
it's
much
easier
for
me
to
show
people
than
to
tell
them.
So
my
car
is
to
show
people
how
I
dream
and
my
dream
was
to
see
the
aurora,
borealis
and
I
wanted
people
to
be
immersed
in
the
lights
and
not
just
looking
up
at
them.
The.
AB
Like
the
fact
that
I
got
to
meet
some
really
important
people
and
they
were
really
down
to
earth-
and
they
talked
to
me
as
if
like
I-
was
a
designer
on
the
same
level
as
them
and
I
thought
that
was
really
cool
because
usually
when
you
hear
famous
people's
names,
you
don't
think
that
they're
going
to
talk
to
you
like
an
equal.
The.

That
I
know,
but
I
want
to
read
this.
Okay,
all
right
next
on
our
agenda
are
the
first
public
comments
and
I
want
to
remind
you
that
are
that
are
speaking
tonight,
whether
you're
speaking
in
person
or
over
the
phone.
That
speaking
at
our
board
meetings
is
a
privilege
and
not
a
right
I'm,
going
to
read
the
back
of
the
comment
card
by
by
speaking
tonight.
You
agree
to
follow
these.
These
rules.

Several
members
who
otherwise
would
be
here
are
not
able
to
attend
tonight,
but
have
given
me
their
support
for
what
I,
personally
am
about
to
say,
I,
believe
in
the
United
States
Constitution
and
its
first
amendment
protections
I
think
going
down
the
rabbit
hole
of
banning
books
is
a
very
slippery
slope.
Where
is
the
line
drawn
as
to
what
is
acceptable
if
these
books
are
banned?
What
about
the
Bible
I'm
a
person
of
faith
and
have
studied
the
Bible
fairly
extensively
over
the
years?
BJ
But
if
you
want
to
rule
out
books
that
include
murder,
rape,
incest,
treachery
lust
sexual
perversion
and
the
like
the
Bible
might
be
at
the
top
of
the
list.
Yet,
at
the
same
time,
it
has
been
a
cherished
and
uplifting
Survival
Guide,
for
so
many
for
centuries,
I
believe
in
parents
being
aware
of
and
involved
in
what
their
children
read.
Not
the
government
and
I
believe
that
the
values
of
a
few
should
not
be
inflicted
on
the
values
of
the
many.
BJ

A
BK
Good
evening
board
members,
my
name
is
Karen
Garris
and
I'm
deeply
grateful
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
to
you
this
evening
and
share
my
concerns
about
our
lack
of
utilization
of
the
existing
Library
materials
challenge.
Administrative
regulation
is
38.1
in
not
using
that
regulation
from
the
beginning.
We
are
setting
a
dangerous
precedent
and
we
have
opened
ourselves
up
to
not
following
the
process
with
future
challenges.
Considering
the
Consolidated
organization
of
effort
and
the
way
these
challenges
have
swept
the
country,
we
would
be
naive
to
believe
that
this
is
just
the
the
end
of
it.
BK
This,
in
fact,
is
only
the
beginning:
I
am
the
school
librarian
at
Bluffton,
High
School,
where
until
recently
many
of
these
titles
were
available.
I
am
also
a
parent
of
a
bcsd
middle
school
student,
a
member
of
our
school
Improvement
Council
and
a
retired
Navy
Master
Chief,
with
27
years
of
active
military
service,
I
strongly
believe
in
the
Constitutional
freedoms
and
assert
that
the
application
of
those
freedoms
is
not
diluted
simply
because
they
are
students
as
a
certified
School
librarian
with
a
master's
degree
in
education
and
endorsement
in
library
and
information
science.
BK
I
am
professionally
bound
to
perform
my
role
in
a
manner
that
aligns
with
our
core
competencies
and
values
of
equity,
diversity
and
inclusion.
Through
a
multitude
of
narratives
and
experiences,
School
libraries
exist
to
serve
each
unique
student
with
collections
that
support
the
curriculum,
engage,
critical
thinking,
skills,
educate,
inform,
entertain
and
develop
a
lifelong
love
of
reading
and
learning
to
be
effective
in
this
endeavor
School
libraries
must
contain
numerous
books
that
reflect
our
students,
unique
experiences
and
circumstances
books
that
affirm
their
existence
and
books
that
demonstrate
multiple
and
potentially
controversial
points
of
view.
BK
Denying
the
presidents
of
alternative
points
of
view
and
experiences
does
not
protect
students.
It
sets
them
up
for
failure
if
we
engage
in
censorship,
if
we
fail
to
uphold
the
First
Amendment
and
the
tenants
of
the
library
Bill
of
Rights
our
students
right
to
read,
we
are
effectively
stunting
their
education
and
preventing
opportunities
to
develop
empathy
and
making
them
vulnerable
in
their
ignorance.
BK
Those
Family
Values
conversations
are
essential
and
procedures
exist
for
a
parent
to
bring
those
concerns
to
my
attention
as
their
school
librarian.
I
do
wish
to
make
it
clear,
though,
that
I
do
not
support
that
same
parent
or
Community
member
overstepping
their
role
and
deciding
what
other
students
can
read
for
educational
or
recreational
purposes.
BK
If
we
continue
down
this
path
of
allowing
one
person
or
group
of
people
to
assert
dominance
over
intellectual
freedom
to
let
lists
of
books
slide
across
the
table
circumventing
the
material
challenge
process,
we
are
placing
a
heavy
and
unnecessary
burden
on
the
professionals
who
work
diligently
to
ensure
School
library.
Materials
are
suitable
for
the
students
they
serve.
Moving
forward,
I
humbly
request.
BK
The
board
recognize
the
precarious
position
we
are
in
regarding
future
book
challenges
and
understand
that
we
are
not
alone
in
seeking
to
balance
the
issues
of
what
is
morally
and
ethically
acceptable,
while
still
affording
our
students
the
freedom
to
explore
and
understand
the
world
around
them.
Thank
you.

The
truth
is
literature
is
complex
and
the
slippery
slope
of
banning
books
comes
from
the
library
to
the
classroom.
Sooner
rather
than
later,
we
teach
students
to
look
at
the
craft
of
the
author.
It's
a
mission
of
Discovery
investigating
how
authors
write,
not
what
to
believe
other
ideas.
Other
cultures,
other
beliefs,
create
many
ways
to
think
about
the
world
as
to
what
to
believe.
That's
up
to
the
home
front.
We
educators
are
there
for
one
reason
to
help
the
students
reach
the
next
level
of
learning.
BL
Reading,
critically
and
well
from
good
writers
from
all
walks
of
life.
Is
crucial
in
getting
there?
The
truth
is
what
students
might
discover
in
books
in
the
library
just
may
be
something
that
allows
them
to
overcome
a
difficult
situation
or
understand
what
someone
else
is
going
through.
Understanding
is
not
something
to
be
avoided.
It's
to
be
sought
to
say,
I,
see
where
this
person's
coming
from
diverse
authors
create
understanding
Banning
them
limits
it.
The
truth
is
Educators.
BL
I
have
worked
with
in
the
last
30
years,
don't
teach
politics
or
doctrine
or
the
worst
offense
of
all
groom
children
sexually.
Are
there
bad
seeds
in
any
profession?
Yes,
but
there's
a
process
in
place
to
deal
with
them.
Most
of
all.
Teachers
hope
that
students
are
safe,
fed
ready
to
learn,
but
that
isn't
always
the
case.
So
they
work
hard
to
build
relationships
to
provide
motivation
for
students
to
learn
the
tools
they
need
to
critically.
Think
literature
and
available
books
are
a
key
part
of
this.
The
truth
is
our
teachers
and
Librarians
are
worried.
BL
BM
So
as
a
follow-up
to
my
challenge,
I
have
a
Freedom
of
Information
Act
request
that
I'm
going
to
actually
hand
to
the
district
tonight,
rather
than
sending
it
in
through
the
email
system,
so
I
have
copies
for
each
one
of
you
and
I'd
like
to
know
which
point
of
contact
here
tonight
I
should
give
them
to.
You
should
give
them
to
the
executive
assistant.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that,
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
tonight.
BN
Hi
everybody
we
are
vibing
High
tonight
I
mean
what
a
great
presentation
so
far
each
one
of
those
children
is
so
amazing
that
got
recognized.
I
should
come
to
these
more
often
my
children
are
successfully
grown
from
Beaufort
County
School
Systems,
one
graduated
IB
that
was
intense
and
now
I
have
a
young,
niece
and
nephew
who
are
currently
enrolled
in
schools,
so
I
kind
of
have
a
beat
on
what's
going
on,
I
see
people
here
that
I
know
from
years
ago,
and
people
who
I
consider
friends.
BN
The
reason
why
I'm
talking
today,
though,
is
because
I'm
an
attorney-
and
this
is
an
issue
that
is
not
about
banning
books-
it's
about
section
50,
16,
15
305.,
which
is
called
disseminating,
procuring
or
promoting
obscenity,
and
when
you
pull
it
up,
it
says
it
is
unlawful
for
any
person
knowingly
to
disseminate
obscenity.
A
person
who
disseminates
obscenity
within
the
meaning
of
this
article
cells,
delivers,
provides
or
offers
or
agrees
to
deliver
seller
provide
obscene
writing
pictures
records,
digital
or
electronic
files,
or
other
representations
of
description
of
obscene
I'm.
BN
Where
are
we
going
this
isn't
about
book
Banning?
This
is
about
promoting
obscene
material,
and
everyone
here
has
a
duty.
You
can't
delegate
this
to
the
library.
Everyone
here
has
a
duty,
an
individual
Duty.
You
are
elected,
you
represent
constituents
and
more
important.
You
have
a
duty
to
protect
our
minors,
so
I
just
ask
everyone
to
read
the
statute
and
become
familiar
with
the
law,
because,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
law
trumps
policy.
Thank
you
and
God
bless.
BO
Good
evening,
and
thank
you
again
for
having
me
first
I'd
like
to
say
pornograph
pornographic
material
in
Beaufort,
School
library,
books,
there's
no
place
for
this
reading
material.
No
one
suggested
that
these
books
should
be
banned
from
society
they're
readily
available
at
other
sources.
They
do
not
belong
in
public
school
libraries
and
I'm
disgusted,
but
that
my
tax
dollars,
my
tax
dollars,
are
going
to
buy
this
stuff
I'm
watching
my
language.
BP
Good
evening
my
name
is
Ivy
salai
I
want
to
thank
you
again
once
again
for
allowing
me
to
speak
to
you
concerning
the
issue
of
sexually
explicit
books
in
our
school
libraries.
First
I'd
like
to
go
on
the
record
that
the
is-381
review
form
was
submitted
and
it
went
to
the
spam
folder.
The
district
has
acknowledged
that
they
have
received
it
at
the
last
meeting
you
heard
from
a
plethora
of
people
who
believe
that
any
material,
no
matter
its
age-appropriate,
is
acceptable.
BP
It's
hard
for
me
to
imagine
what
kind
of
person
thinks
that
it's
okay
for
an
elementary
or
middle
school
student
to
have
access
to
a
book
that
has
scenes
portraying
anything
from
pedophilia,
rape,
incest,
excessive
drug
use.
Etc
I
truly
do
believe
that
all
children
should
have
access
to
material
that
represents
each
and
every
one
of
them.
However,
books
with
sexually
explicit
excerpts
should
be
exempt.
BP
Somehow
the
moral
compass
of
our
nation
has
begun
to
degrade
and
Society
seems
to
want
to
expose
minors
to
sexually
explicit
topics.
Younger
and
younger
I'm
not
naive
in
the
fact
that
children
do
have
access
in
other
areas
of
their
lives,
but
as
the
parents
Duty
and
responsibility
to
ensure
that
they
have
safeguards,
just
as
it
is
the
district's
responsibility
and
duty
to
ensure
safeguards
for
the
children
while
they
are
in
school,
the
district
does
Place
restrictions
on
electronic
devices.
So
why
is
it
so
far-fetched
that
you
should
Place
restrictions
on
books
for
age-appropriateness?
BP
BP
For
those
reasons,
I'd
like
to
share
some
statistics
from
the
book
list
that
I
sent
to
the
district
one
book
is
anonymous,
so
that
leaves
95
books
out
of
the
95
book
titles
78
percent
are
by
white
authors.
22
percent
of
the
books
are
by
minority
authors
and
11
percent
of
the
books
are
by
black
authors,
also
read
bios
for
each
of
the
authors
and
was
able
to
fairly
confidently
confidently
determine
the
preferred
sexuality
of
68.
BP
BP
When
these
committees
are
reviewing
these
books,
they
need
to
have
the
most
old-fashioned
minded
parent
or
Guardian
in
mind,
because
that's
the
parent
that
is
going
to
have
a
problem
if
this
material
is
given
to
their
child
without
their
knowledge.
This
literature
is
available
in
a
myriad
of
other
places.
BP
BQ
Good
evening,
I
am
a
mother
of
three
ranging
from
10
to
25..
I
have
experienced
a
school
system
from
prior
generation
to
now
and
I
am
concerned
at
first
I
didn't
have
concerns
over
books
in
our
schools,
I
didn't
know
and
I
didn't
think.
The
school
system
would
allow
this
kind
of
material
in
our
schools.
Until
I
heard
two
parents
read
them
at
the
board
meeting
a
month
ago,
I
was
horrified
and
saddened.
BQ
That
a
student,
a
child,
could
check
this
material
out
in
our
schools.
I
thought
this
was
a
no-brainer
that
this
would
not
be
acceptable
until
I
saw
a
social
media
post
and
then
the
board
meeting.
Two
weeks
ago,
24
people
spoke
outraged
over
what
they
called
a
book
ban
and
labeled
parents
trying
to
make
this
a
political,
theater,
honestly
I'm,
not
sure
what
was
more
horrifying
or
what
I
read
or
how
people
were
defending
and
supporting
pornography
content
in
our
schools.
BQ
BQ
BQ
If
my
child
was
to
snap
a
picture
of
the
content
in
these
books
and
text
it
to
a
friend
that
would
be
classified
as
Distributing
pornography,
so
why
would
a
teacher,
librarian
or
school
be
exempt
from
that?
Our
children
have
short
windows
to
be
kids
17
years.
In
fact,
they
have
the
rest
of
their
lives
to
be
adults.
This
is
adult
content.
Let
them
be
I
support,
A
Parent's
Choice
to
allow
their
child
to
read
this
material,
but
they
can
go,
take
their
child
to
a
public
library
or
purchase
the
material
for
themselves.
BQ
I
just
want
to
point
out
these
T.
These
children
can't
even
be
trusted
in
the
bathrooms
at
our
middle
schools
and
high
schools,
but
we're
going
to
trust
these
books
in
our
district
I'm
a
mother.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
my
children
don't
have
smartphones.
They
have
a
pinwheel
phone
I
observe
every
little
ounce
that
my
eighth
grader
does.
I
have
protect
my
child's
innocence
and
when
I
send
them
to
school.
I
expect
you
to
protect
them
as
well.
That's
my
baby.
You
have
him
for
10
months,
I.
BQ
BR
BR
Beaufort
County
school
district
has
allowed
hundreds
of
books
in
the
school
libraries
that
contain
adult
obscene
and
in
some
cases,
pornographic
materials
concerned.
Parents
have
raised
concerns
for
many
months
about
these
books,
and
these
requests
were
largely
ignored
by
The
District
staff.
That
was
until
we
read
those
excerpts
in
this
meeting
a
couple
weeks
ago.
These
books
were
able
to
be
reviewed
and
checked
out
from
the
school
libraries
by
children
in
elementary
schools,
middle
schools
and
high
schools.
BR
BR
Once
the
media
was
informed
that
these
books
were
in
our
schools,
the
district
went
into
cya
mode
and
pulled
the
books
from
the
schools,
then
misled
the
media
to
make
it
seem
like
they
proactively,
reviewed
the
book
or
removed
the
books
on
their
own
without
any
parental
requests.
Prior
to
that,
the
indoctrinators
and
groomers
would
like
to
keep
these
books
in
the
schools
by
making
false
claims
and
attacks
on
parents.
They
call
Parents
book
banners
and
book
burners
concerned.
Parents
have
never
asked
for
these
books
not
to
be
written
concerned.
BR
BR
BR
BR
If
you
were
not
able
to
tell
by
the
school
board
election
last
week,
parents
have
spoke
up.
They
do
not
want
this
material
in
our
in
our
schools
and
we
are
electing
people
that
will
put
Children
First.
Parents
will
also
remember
this
when
it
comes
time
to
elect
our
board
members
in
the
2024
election
cycle.
BR
I
also
want
to
make
reference
to
something.
That
was
a
word
that
was
used
before
and
that's
called
courage.
I
don't
feel
like
this
should
take
courage
to
do
the
right
thing.
Follow
the
law
and
protect
our
children
since
I
do
believe
that
was
also
an
oath
that
our
school
board
members
took
when
they
when
they
sat
in
these
chairs,
but
apparently
I
I,
guess
you
you
do
need
to
show
a
little
bit
of
Courage
here.
You
need
to
stand
up
to
the
woke
indoctrinators
that
are
pushing
for
these
books.
A
A
BT
Good
evening
Dr
Rodriguez,
chairman
Dr,
Wallace
and
school
board
members,
my
name
is
Michael
covert
and
I
reside
in
Bluffton,
South
Carolina
I
appreciate
you
allowing
me
time
to
speak
before
you
excuse
me.
I
find
it
disingenuous
for
people
to
lay
claim
that
there
is
a
collective
cry
for
book
Banning.
What
has
been
suggested
is
not
a
book
ban
nor
a
book
Burn,
simply
a
removal
and
re-address
of
the
96
or
97
or
so
titles,
as
has
been
well
documented.
BT
The
public
still
does
not
know
how
these
books
even
made
it
to
the
shelves
of
a
public
school
and
where
those
approvals
took
place.
What
is
more
important
to
consider
are
these
factors
one
tax
dollars,
public
money
are
used
for
the
purchase
of
the
books.
Therefore,
the
the
type
of
book
must
be
highly
scrutinized,
which
is
usual
and
customary
throughout
most
of
the
school
districts
in
the
United
States.
BT
Next
tax
dollars
were
spent
several
decades
ago
on
copies
of
Bibles
The
Ten
Commandments
Etc
in
some
groups
led
by
the
fanatical
ACLU,
were
apoplectic
in
getting
those
items
removed
from
Public
School
Systems.
Now
the
shoe
is
on
the
other
foot
and
that
same
group
is
now
apoplectic,
because
we
are
asking
for
this
to
be
removed
and
readdressed.
BT
Some
have
said
this
move
is
unconstitutional.
That
is
completely
inaccurate
and
I.
Ask
you
to
recognize
case
law
known
as
CK
by
and
through
her
parents,
TK
and
all
versus
Wentzville
School
District
of
this
August
2022,
where
the
Federal
District
Court
of
the
eastern
district
of
Missouri,
found
that
it
is
perfectly
constitutional
to
remove
said
books
as
it
wasn't
quote.
In
quote
Banning.
Anything
I
also
encourage
you
to
read
and
reread
title
16
article
3
of
the
South
Carolina
of
walls.
These
books
overwhelmingly
violate
article
3.
BT
I,
do
not
believe
the
school
board
nor
any
of
its
members
want
to
knowingly
violate
South
Carolina
laws.
Finally,
I
also
want
to
encourage
you
to
understand
this.
It
is
my
right
as
a
parent
and
grandparent
to
not
subject
my
children
and
grandchildren
to
this
material
in
a
public
school.
Why
are
my
rights
being
violated?
Why
are
my
rights
or
my
grandchildren's
rights,
not
important
as
an
elected
official
I,
completely
understand
that
hard
choices
and
hard
decisions
are
brutally
wearing
on
your
minds.
This
should
not
be
one
of
them.
I.
BT

P

BU
As
always,
I
would
like
to
request
that
the
Board
of
Education
we
advise
their
online
registration
to
require
only
proof
of
residency
and
dates
of
birth
and
to
leave
out
hidden
consent
to
CRT
and
SEL.
I
would
also
like
to
request
that
the
Board
of
Education
create
a
procedure
for
parents
who
want
to
refuse
standardized
tests
for
their
children,
guys
I'm
going
to
say
it
every
other
weekend.
Until
somebody
looks
at
that
now.
BU
Here's
the
main
reason
I
called
I,
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
Board
of
Education,
Dr,
Rodriguez
and
Dr
Stratos
for
reviewing
the
books
that
are
questionable.
I
was
an
educator
for
over
20
years
when
I
first
started
teaching
and
up
to
only
three
years
ago,
I
would
never
discuss
my
politics,
my
sexuality
or
anything
that
was
questionable
with
my
students.
BU
I
could
lose
my
license
three
years
ago
when
I
was
teaching
at
okatee
elementary,
a
mom
came
up
to
me,
while
I
was
working
the
car
rider
line
and
explained
to
me
how
upset
she
was
with
a
book
on
the
shelves
in
the
school
library.
This
book
was
age-appropriate
and
it
was
a
graphic
novel,
but
she
was
upset
because
the
main
character
had
a
crush
on
a
member
of
the
same
sex.
I
saw
nothing
wrong
with
this
and
told
her
so
explaining
that
representation
matters
and
children
identify
with
characters
who
are
like
them.
BU
This
mom
marched
into
the
principal's
office
and
demanded
this
book
and
others
like
it
be
taken
from
the
shelves
and
the
principal
did
just
that.
She
removed
them
from
the
shelves
after
explaining
to
her
that
the
book
was
not
inappropriate
and
showing
it
to
her.
She
understood
and
reluctantly
left
the
books
in
the
library
yesterday,
I
signed
the
permission
slip
because
my
twins
teacher
wants
to
show
the
movie
The
Outsiders
and
because
it's
PG-13,
she
needs
parental
permission.
BU
I
gladly
signed
off
and
as
I've
read
the
book
and
seen
the
movie
I
understand
the
academic
correlation.
Now
we
find
ourselves
in
the
opposite
ends
of
the
spectrum
books
that
include
violent
sexual
interactions.
Descriptions
of
incest
and
rape
and
graphic
descriptions
of
beatings
have
just
been
taken
out
of
our
schools
for
review.
I
was
the
one
who
called
in
and
read
aloud
from
one
of
these
books
two
board
meetings
ago.
BU
I
did
this
because
it
had
to
be
brought
to
parents
attention
and
because
the
board
needed
to
act
since
then,
I
have
been
called
awful
things,
including
Nazi
book
burner.
Bigot
ignorant
I
am
none
of
these
things.
I
am
not
suggesting
these
books
be
banned.
I
am
not
suggesting
these
books
be
taken
out
of
our
public
libraries.
BU
I
am
suggesting
that
books
be
reviewed
by
a
committee
selected
by
the
Board
of
Education
in
order
to
determine
if
they
belong
in
our
school
libraries,
as
I've
said
before,
I'm,
not
naive
to
the
fact
that
children
have
access
to
all
of
this
and
more
on
the
web
as
a
parent
I
do
what
I
can
and
what
I
must
have
set
expectations
and
create
blocks
the
things
I
can
control,
but
the
bottom
line
is
this:
I
do
not
expect
our
schools
to
make
this
kind
of
material
available
to
our
children.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
P
T

P
BV
BV
We've
in
our
schools
have
received
federal
dollars
from
the
the
mandates
and
all
of
these
areas
and
the
mandates
have
caused
irreparable
harm
to
our
students,
and
you
know
shutting
down
our
schools.
This
is
only
knocked
our
students
at
a
lower
rate
and
understanding
and
in
education.
We're
already
ranked
one
of
the
last
in
the
country,
but
I
think
that
the
most
horrific
thing
about
the
hybrid
is
the
hyper-specialization
of
children.
BV
But
when
we
have
children
that
are
being
told
that
they
can
come
to
school
as
a
cat
or
they
can
come
to
school
as
a
boy
when
they're
a
girl
without
parental
consent,
gender,
affirming
care
in
any
shape
or
form,
in
some
cases,
chemical
castration,
which
is
very
it's
it's
not
reversible,
and
sometimes
that
is
happening
without
parental
consent
in
different
parts
of
the
country.
This
is
horrific.
We
should
not
be
allowing
this
type
of
behavior
it
is.
It
has
increased
in
catastrophic
mental
illness
in
our
children.
BV
Most
children,
don't
don't
understand
who
they
are
in
the
sense
of
their
identity
at
Young
ages,
because
they're
going
through
so
many
hormonal
changes.
So
these
books
that
are
in
the
schools
that
are
being
pointed
out
that
by
people
in
Beaufort,
County
and
across
the
state
need
to
be
removed.
They
need
to
and
not
be
in
the
schools.
That
is
not
the
school's
job
to
contribute
to
this
grooming.
It
is
not
the
school's
job
to
contribute
to
the
hypersexualization
of
children,
it
is
child
abuse
and
it
should
not
be
permitted.
Thank
you.
Ma'am.
P
Q
I'll
I,
don't
really
have
a
lot
of
prepared
comments,
but
I
know
that
we've
had
recent
School,
Board
elections
and
I
do
think.
It
is
important
to
bring
to
folks
attention
that
some
of
these
candidates
won
their
seats
with
less
than
33
percent
of
the
vote
in
their
respective
districts,
and
we
do
have
some
folks
who
were
elected
even
with
fewer
than
200
votes,
so
hardly
a
mandate
there.
Q
Given
a
recent
events,
I
think
it's
important
to
remind
the
board
the
district
parents,
community
members
of
our
mission
of
public
schools
and
and
specifically
Beaufort
County
Schools.
So
one
thing
I
did
have
time
to
pull,
was
a
mission
statement
from
the
website.
The
mission
of
Beaufort
County
School
District
through
a
personalized
learning
approach,
will
prepare
graduates
who
complete
and
succeed
in
ever-changing,
global
society
and
career
Marketplace.
Q
Our
vision
is
to
work
with
families
and
our
diverse
Community
to
ensure
that
students
perform
at
an
internationally
competitive
level
in
a
learning
environment
that
is
safe,
nurturing
and
engaging.
Our
core
belief
is
that
students
should
be
prepared
to
compete
and
contribute
in
an
ever-changing,
Global
and
multilingual
society,
and
we
believe
that
every
student
can
learn
using
his
or
her
valuable
and
unique
talents
and
skills
and
learning
takes
place
when
the
physical,
emotional,
social
and
intellectual
well-being
of
all
students
is
assured
at
every
level
and
during
every
transition
there's
more
to
it.
Q
Q
Public
schools
are
designed
to
serve
everyone,
and
that
does
not
mean
that
public
school
is
the
best
choice
for
every
individual.
So
in
a
public
school
people
will
be
exposed
to
folks
who
have
different
faiths
and
cultures
and
abilities
and
belief
systems.
So
I
really
ask
that
each
of
you
remember
that
as
board
members,
School
professionals,
parents,
Etc
I,
ask
again
this
week
that
you
follow
your
own
policy
when
you're
considering
the
challenge
book.
Q
Several
of
these
books
have
been
removed
and
they
haven't
been
appropriately
challenged
and
their
return
is
delayed,
while
you
guys
form
these
committees.
Please
follow
your
own
policy
direct,
the
superintendent
to
return
the
books
to
the
shelves,
so
the
students
can
access
them.
Those
who
wish
to
pose
a
library
materials
challenge
can
do
that
by
filling
out
the
appropriate
paperwork
and
then
we'll
follow
the
process
as
it
was
designed.
Q
P
P
U
Ahead
good
evening,
my
name
is
Leanne
Howard
I'm
speaking
as
a
companion
member
former
student
and
former
parent
of
two
previously
enrolled
students.
I
want
to
save
my
support
for
having
a
review
to
remove
the
books
on
this
list.
I
want
to
First
highlight
some
of
the
content
involved
and
then
the
list,
some
of
the
titles
that
I
had
read
personally
content
from
just
four
of
these
books
included
graphic
sexual
scenes,
including
rape,
molestation,
idealized,
pedophilia,
grooming,
idealized,
Suicidal,
Thoughts,
drug
and
alcohol
abuse,
physical
abuse,
profanity,
profanities
and
derogatory
terms.
U
If
these
were
movies,
they
would
not
allow
miners
to
view
these
in
movie
theaters
as
they
would
be
rated
R
or
mature.
Each
of
these
were
rated
not
for
minors.
Book
39,
identical
by
Ellen
Hopkins
has
an
adult
content
warning
from
booklooks.org,
as
not
for
minors,
shares
a
summary
of
concern
for
explicit
sexual
activities,
including
sexual
assault
and
child
molestation,
and
violence,
including
self-harm
and
suicidal
ideations,
profanity,
derogatory
terms,
drug
and
alcohol
abuse.
U
Any
of
those
things
brought
up
in
the
school
district.
If
one
of
the
students
was
vaping,
they
would
automatically
be
suspended.
If
you
had
students
using
derogatory
terms
or
profanity
again,
they
would
be
an
ISS
or
suspended
yet
we're
allowing
them
to
read
these
things
from
books
and
expect
them
not
to
exhibit
these
behaviors
within
the
school.
U
Identical
was
actually
at
May
River,
High
School
and
you
have
ninth
graders
reading
these
books
Lolita
by
Vladimir
namakova
booklooks.org
also
has
an
adult
content
rating
for
this
book
for
sexual
activities,
including
pedophilia
sexual
nudity
and
profanity
grooming
and
pedophilia.
It
was
a
story
of
a
12
25
year
old
man
obsessing
over
a
12
year
old
girl,
and
yet
we
have
this
in
the
school
district
allowing
12
year
olds
to
read
it.
That's
not!
Okay,
it's
not
acceptable!
U
That
book
was
at
Battery
Creek
High,
School
number
47,
Living
Dead
Girl
by
Elizabeth
Scott,
the
adult
content
warning
for
this
one
was
for
violence,
including
sexual
abuse,
explicit
sexual
activities,
including
sexual
assault,
battery
and
sexual
nudity.
This
book
was
at
Beaufort
High.
This
book
had
a
graphic
graphic
scene
that
I
will
not
even
repeat
because
I
was
so
offended
by
it.
U
It
was
something
that
you
would
see
on
a
horror
documentary,
19
minutes
by
Jody
piccolot,
adult
content
warning
was
for
sexual
activities
and
sexual
nudity,
and
this
one
was
at
Beaufort
High
each
of
these
books.
You
could
let
ninth
graders
read
and
they
were
so
graphic
that
most
of
these
scenes
would
be
censored
on
TV
School
suspended
kids
for
Vaping
yeah,
we're
gonna.
Let
them
read
about
a
book
about
a
girl,
that's
taking
oxy
to
get
away
from
certain
I'm.
Sorry.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
that
did
participate
in
the
first
public
comment
session
for
being
respectful
and
following
the
rules
of
speaking
next
on.
Our
agenda
is
my
report
as
chairman,
so
our
the
executive
assistant,
who
is
the
secretary
to
the
board,
receives
an
annual
performance
evaluation
by
the
board
and
we
are
going
to
do
that
evaluation
in
the
next
two
weeks.
The
evaluation
instrument
and
job
description
will
be
given
to
the
board
members
on
Friday
at
the
work
session.
A
A
A
BX
You,
madam
chair,
the
finance
committee,
met
on
November,
10th
and
reviewed
the
following
monthly
reports:
the
Board
of
Education
monthly
budget
report,
the
September
100
000
report,
the
September
transfer
transparency
report
and
we
had
three
questions
on
that
report
and
we
received
satisfactory
answers
on
the
questions
we
received.
An
Esser
update
and
Miss
Crosby
presented
a
list
of
Esser
learning,
loss
activities
and
descriptions
Crosby.
Would
you
like
to
come
up
and
show
us
the
dashboard
and
talk
about
the.
AO
We
have
three
displayed:
we've
displayed
three
Esser
funding
sources,
grants
separate
grants
that
we've
received
sr12
and
3
and
with
the
first
round
of
Grants,
having
been
completely
expended,
100
percent.
As
of
this
point,
they
were
due
to
be
expended
as
of
September
30
2022..
There
are
two
remaining
sr2
which
has
12
months
of
the
grant
remaining
and
sr3,
which
has
24
months.
AO
So
overall,
we
have
expended
47
percent
about
32
million
dollars
and
we
do
have
some
time
still
and
have
plan
and
activities
planned
expenditures
that
are
budgeted
in
various
categories,
primarily
with
the
focus
on
learning
loss.
So
32
million
total
dollars
are
allocated
to
learning
loss
activities
and
about
half
of
that
a
little
under
half
of
that
has
been
spent
as
as
of
this
point,
and
so,
as
you
can
see
by
the
bar
graph,
the
top
one
is
sr1
with
a
hundred
percent
expended.
AO
as
we
progress
through
the
which
is
actually
the
September
July
through
September
of
calendar
year,
2024,
in
which
we
expect
to
be
at
our
at
zero
at
that
point
in
time.
So
again,
we
are
actually
a
little
ahead
of
schedule
with
a
compa
compared
to
our
cash
flow
projections
and
do
expect
to
expend
all
of
those
dollars
based
on
the
plans
we
have
in
place
and
just
to
note,
sr2
we'll
have
some
our
recruiting
retention.
Stipends
as
well,
will
be
coming
out
and
in
December.
AO
So
that
will
be
an
additional
six
million
dollars
of
spending
an
s
or
two.
So
we
provided
a
list
of
activities
that
provide
some
details.
More
detail,
details
about
learning,
loss
activities
in
the
packet
I
won't
be
going
over
those
this
evening,
but
that
may
give
a
little
glimpse
of
some
of
the
budgeted
activities
that
will
we're
participating
in.
BS
BS
They
may
it's
an
investment
in
our
in
our
students
and
in
our
achievement.
So
I.
You
know
there
are
a
couple
other
items
on
here.
Certainly
teacher
quality,
those
things
address,
learning
loss,
they're
indirect,
but
they
are
a
direct
direct
addressing
learning
loss.
So
I
would
just
like
to
point
that
out
sure.
A
BY
BY
If
we're
addressing
learning
loss,
I'm
sure
you
know
we'll
find
that
those
people
probably
suffer
the
most
in
terms
of
the
pandemic
and
the
losses,
but
we
only
put
a
certain
amount
there
and
and
teacher
professional
development
and
all
that's
other
stuff
is
generally
an
ongoing
process
in
education
and
I.
For
one
think
that
you
know
this
money
should
be
spent
towards
improving
some
of
the
situations
that
were
created
by
the
pandemic,
not
by
us
having
teachers
to
everyone
already
below
those
levels
or
inefficient.
B
I
I
too
agree
with
that,
but
also
in
in
10
terms,
with
the
one
million
dollars
that
we're
spending
in
early
childhood
for
us
to
have
actually
Early
Childhood
programs
in
this
County
already.
How
have
we
've
been
in
concert
with
other
programs
or
inspired,
but
yet
how
we've
been
in
sync
with
other
programs
that
have
been
in
existence
already
and
how
have
we,
you
know
compared
to
what
we're
doing
to
be
able
to
work
with
them
to
what's
taking
place
right
now,
because
that
that's
very
concerning
a
million
dollars.
Yes,
the.
AO
Million
dollars
I
believe
in
Miss
Matson
is,
as
she
comes
up,
she's
the
director
of
special
Revenue
programs
and
is
directly
in
over
manages
the
Esther
programs
in
all
federal
programs
actually,
which
include
Federal
programs,
also
include
special
education,
our
idea
or
individuals
with
disability.
To
do
so.
So
it's
a
team
of
people
and
it
may
be
a
physical
therapists,
occupational
therapists,
psychologists,
special
ed
teachers
that
gather
and
and
identify
students,
and
so
that
is
primarily
what
the
cost
of
that
additional
team.
B
Well,
if
that
is
the
case,
then
I
am
rather
disappointed,
because
once
again,
that's
why
I'm
saying
you
have
groups
like
groups
like
the
Head
Start.
They
have
a
huge
waiting
list,
so
we
don't
really
have
to
go
out
and
find
those
students,
if
I'm
understanding
what
you're
saying
correctly,
because
they
have
large
waiting
lists.
So
we
so
my
thing
is:
we
should
be
in
sync
with
them
to
the
understanding
the
students
that.
B
We
we
can
serve
so
spending
that
money
for
that
kind
of
almost
sounds
like
it's
kind
of
a
a
a
waste.
If
we
already
have
resources-
and
we
already
have
partners
who
who,
where
we
could
get,
there,
still
get
get
their
students
off
of
their
waiting
list
and
we
can
serve
those
students
because
eventually,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
all
those
students
majority
of
those
students
come
to
Beaufort
County
School
District.
B
AO
Dr
White
and
Ashley
Hutchinson
are
two
of
the
critical
people
that
are
very
involved
in
those
areas
and
could
certainly
give
you
some
shed
some
light
on
these
programs
and
how
we're
utilizing
those
dollars
and
the
I,
along
with
the
idea,
dollars
and
other
Early
Childhood
dollars
to
expand
the
services
and
how
these
enhance
and
expand
those
Services
based
on
what
beyond
what
they're
already
doing
so
I
can
certainly
connect
you
with
them
to
help.
You
hopefully
reduce
some
of
your
uncertainty
in
this
area
and
we'll
make
that
happen.
BA
AO
Yes,
sir,
we
are
I
just
want
to
mention
that
we're
finalizing
our
fiscal
year,
2022
audit,
our
annual
financial
report.
We
have
just
a
few
more
weeks
before
that
deadline
is
due
on
December
1st,
so
we're
we
said
would
have
had
an
overlap
here
of
you
know,
working
a
little
bit
in
last
year
and
and
a
little
bit
in
the
current
year
as
well,
and
so
the
first.
AO
This
is
primarily
coming
in
in
December
and
January,
and
so
you'll
see
very
small,
we're
in
the
neighborhood
of
two
percent
of
collections
there
about
three
million
dollars
and,
as
you
can
expect
that
small
trickle-in
of
of
Revenue
does
require
us
to
issue
a
tax
anticipation.
Note
we
we
live
off
of
the
reserves.
AO
In
our
at
our
end
of
year,
fund
balance,
so
as
of
our
our
June
30th
fund
balance,
we
exhaust
those
funds
by
the
time
we
get
to
the
October
November
time
frame,
and
it
requires
us
to
borrow
additional
funding
in
a
short-term
basis.
So
our
tax
anticipation
note,
we
were
able
to
reduce
it
down
to
seven
and
a
half
million
dollars
this
year.
It
was
drawn
down
in
October
and
will
be
paid
back
in
February
of
23,
once
tax
collections
come
in
and
we're
able
to
repay
the
tan
as
well.
AO
State
revenues
are
about
12
million
dollars,
they're
a
little
more
steady
throughout
the
year,
but
they,
and
so
they
are
at
10
percent.
At
the
end
of
this
quarter.
Prior
your
collections
were
at
nine
percent,
so
we're
a
little
ahead
of
schedule
on
both
the
on
the
state
revenues
a
little
behind
schedule
on
the
local
property
tax
collections.
But
that's
it's
too
early
to
really
tell
how
the
end
of
the
year
will
come
until
we
get
to
the
January
time
frame.
AO
Expenditures
in
the
general
fund
are
reported
at
53
million
dollars.
So,
as
you
can
see,
you
know,
we
do
have
steady
spending
in
that
general
fund
throughout
the
throughout
the
year.
It's
18
of
the
Budget
prior
year.
Spending
was
about
17,
so
we're
just
a
little
ahead
of
schedule
of
from
last
year
and
the
other
major
thing
to
note
capital
projects
fund.
We
had
outstanding
eight
percent.
AO
Our
funding
for
Capital
comes
in
primarily
two
ways:
I
ate
our
borrowings
subject
to
eight
percent
of
the
county-wide
assessed
value,
so
we
also
are
they're,
also
known
as
our
eight
percent
projects,
and
so
those
borrowings,
the
projects
relating
to
those
borrowings
are
about
75
percent.
At
the
end
of
this
first
quarter
and
our
2019
referendum
projects
are
85
percent
spent
and
encumbered
as
of
September
30th,
so
things
look
normal
as
of
this
time
of
year
and
things
are
as
on
track
as
expected.
BX
BX
We
took
a
look
at
that
and
we
recommended
that
the
information
go
to
the
academic
committee
and
to
student
services
to
look
at
the
findings
and
we
believe
that
there
are
additional
data
points
needed
for
this.
This
is
a
first
look
at
each
of
our
schools
on
what
it
costs
to
educate
our
our
children
and
you'll
see
that
we
have
average
salaries
and
we
have
the
total
average
salary.
We
don't
have
the
total
salaries
of
teachers
in
the
school.
BX
BX
This
is
a
chart
that
shows
who
does
what
in
the
finance
office-
and
you
remember
that
this
is
a
finance
office
that
has
to
manage
almost
400
million
dollars
a
year
in
operation
funds
and
and
well
over
300
million
dollars
a
year
in
debt
service.
So
this
has
been
looked
at
by
our
efficiency
report
and,
frankly,
I
think
it's
a
little
lean,
but
our
finance
department
has
done
exceptionally
well
on
Audits
and
we'll
talk
about
audits
in
a
little
bit.
BX
BX
Future
topics
for
the
finance
committee
is
the
timeline
for
human
capital
and
that's
the
timeline
for
the
loss
of
Esser
funds
and
when
the
people
that
we
have
hired
with
federal
funds
when
the
federal
funds
dry
up,
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
functions
that
they
are
being
funded
by
and
what's
going
to
happen
to
the
employees.
So
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
that
get
a
initial
timeline
for
that
at
our
next
meeting.
BX
We're
also
going
to
be
evaluating
OE
18
of
food
and
nutrition
services,
and
we
will
also
have
our
first
annual
audit
from
the
auditor
report
and
the
committee
will
get
that
before
the
full
Board
gets
it
at
our
following
meeting.
Our
next
meeting
is
scheduled
for
December
7th
at
5
pm.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments.
BX
Well,
what
we're
trying
to
we're
looking
at
is
what
our
efficiency
rate
is,
we're
also
looking
at
data
and
how
it's
displayed,
for
example,
this
shows
average
salaries
and
so
total
teacher
salary.
That's
something
different!
That's
another
piece
of
information
that
we
need.
We,
we
also
had
a
question
about:
what's
what
determines
level
of
poverty?
What
are
we
using
for
that
data
to
show
we
are
at
such
and
such
a
percentage
of
children
in
poverty
and
that
changes
from
school
to
school?

BA
B
AO
For
example,
procurement
had
in
Richland,
2
or
Richland,
one
or
two
I
believe
that
was
is
our
similar
size
had
significantly
more
procurement
staff
in
the
same
size,
district
and
so,
and
there
are
other
areas
that
we
could
certainly
utilize
additional
Staffing
for.
But
we
will
definitely
be
open
to
doing
some
analysis
and
doing
some
comparisons
and
bringing
that
back
to
the
committee
for
a
knee
discussion.
BX
BX
B
B
A
BJ
E
A
half
hour
operations
committee
meeting
and
that
didn't
even
involve
a
lot
of
questions.
We
looked
at
oe4,
they
human
resource
department
reported
on
the
entirety
of
oe4,
which
is
the
OE
for
personnel,
and
there
are
15
components
to
it.
So,
in
addition
to
that,
for
Public's
understanding,
we
are
a
coherent
governance
board,
which
means
we
govern
by
policy.
We
set
policy
expectations
and
clearly
delineate
what
we
expect
the
superintendent
to
do
and
then,
essentially,
they
report
back
in
a
monitoring
format.
So
that
was
what
the
point
of
that
meeting
was.
E
E
So
we
kind
of
got
both
things
at
this
meeting
and
don't
worry
about
putting
the
stuff
up
on
the
on
the
screen
Robin,
because
I'm
just
going
to
kind
of
Hit
the
highlights
the
meeting
did
get
off
to
a
bit
of
a
rocky
start,
because
Reggie
D's
refused
point
blank
to
sing
the
national
anthem
and
we
had
to
recite
the
pledge.
But
it
was
all
uphill
from
there.
E
So,
first
of
all
in
recruitment,
we
have
several
initiatives
that
our
HR
department
is
bringing
out
for
recruitment
number
one:
we're
building
a
talent
Pipeline
with
schools.
We
have
95
interns
from
College
from
colleges
here
doing
practicums
number
one:
the
is
the
USC
Beaufort.
We
also
have
the
Citadel
Liberty
University
and
a
handful
of
online
programs
and
they're
actually
here
working
in
the
district
and
getting
that
experience,
in
addition
to
which
we
have
a
new
I,
don't
know
how
new
it
is.
E
So
what
you
do
as
a
college
kid
is
you
sign
up
through
your
college
as
a
candidate
with
your
resume,
and
your
interests
and
employers
are
also
kind
of
reaching
out
to
these
colleges,
and
you
can
send
out
so
many
requests
per
day
and
basically
the
colleges
are
allowing
candidates
and
employers
to
connect
online
through
this
handshake,
and
that's
what
I
hear
a
lot
of
college
kids
talking
about.
You
also
get
work,
study,
internships,
other
programs.
E
So
it's
really
trying
to
connect
on
a
national
level
college
students
with
interested
employers,
so
we're
actively
engaged
in
that
program.
We
have
several
International
teachers.
We
have
I
think
if
I
can
get
to
that
number
I
think
we
have
79
International
teachers
currently
serving
in
the
schools
or
at
least
staff.
E
We
also
have
some
alternative
certification
programs
that
we're
using
for
people
who
do
not
have
a
teaching
certification
but
wish
to
teach
they
can
become
a
teacher
and
start
teaching,
while
they're
under
the
umbrella
of
some
of
these
alternative
programs
and
working
towards
excuse
me
getting
their
teacher
certification.
So
we
have
several
programs
that
we're
using
with
that.
E
Additionally,
there
is
an
emphasis
on
teacher
retention,
so
I
would
say
one
of
the
main
emphasis
of
the
district
is
our
professional
development
we're
putting
a
lot
of
new
professional
development
programs
and
options
in
for
teachers
so
that
when
they
we
do
recruit
them
from
the
schools
or
we
do
recruit
them
as
a
new
career.
They
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
continue
to
grow
professionally.
E
We
also
do
a
lot
of
mentoring
for
Stu
for
students,
sorry
for
teachers,
particularly
young
teachers,
because
those
first
couple
of
years
there's
a
high
rate
of
turnover,
and
so
we
have
a
lot
of
professional
mentors
who
are
going
into
to
the
schools
and
working
with
these
young
teachers
and
giving
them
the
resources
they
need.
So
they
feel
that
they
can
be
successful
here,
compensation
and
benefits.
As
you
know,
we
approved
a
large,
raise
and
I
think.
Are
we
still
number
one
in
the
state?
Alice?
E
Okay,
so
we're
we're
the
top
salary
for
teachers
starting
salary
for
teachers
in
the
state,
in
addition
to
which
we
have
several,
you
know,
of
course,
health
benefits
of
retirement,
but
there
were
a
few
benefits
that
Beaufort
County
offers
that
other
schools
aren't
doing.
That
are
a
little
bit
more
Innovative.
We
have
child
care
after
school
for
teachers,
and
we
also
have
that.
Wasn't
me
what
are
y'all
doing
back
there.
E
I'm
wrapping
it
up
all
right
and
we
have
mental
health
services
for
teachers
using
Esther
funding,
because
that
was
obviously
a
big
concern
coming
out
of
the
pandemic.
And
finally
there
we
do.
What
is
it
teach
before
shoot?
What's
the
program
we
do
for
climate
there's
a
program
we're
partnering
with?
Is
it
teach
before
to
teach
up?
I
was
close.
E
E
But
there
is
a
lot
of
interest
in
having
a
further
discussion
on
is
the
part
of
the
OE
looking
at
the
grievance
process
and
just
getting
a
better
understanding
from
HR
to
the
board
of
how
employee
grievances
are
handled
within
the
district.
So
next
month
we
are
going
to
have
a
more
specific
look
into
that
aspect
of
the
OE,
but
the
OE
is
covered
in
the
monitoring
reports,
so
we
felt
comfortable
bringing
it
to
the
board
in
full,
and
so
that
is
emotion
right
Robin.
Do
we
have
it
up?
B
Oh
and
I,
thank
you
for
your
for
your
report.
Mr
Wright
also
just
want
to
put
out
an
awesome
month,
and
some
also
this
adds
a
couple
other
things
that
were
that
we're
mentioning
also
we
talked
about
in
terms
of
of
recruiting
I
I.
Think
I
said
that
I
believe
I
believe
that
I
think
that
was
a
very,
very
important
that
somehow
that
we
make
more
connections
with
universities
in
terms
of
and
being
intentional
and
I
understand
that
they
have
tried,
and
they
they
have.
B
There
was
also
a
highlight
in
terms
of
the
in-house
training
I
thought
that
that
was
something
that
was
very
good
by
the
district,
that
they
worked
to
save
money
and
have
a
lot
of
In-House
training
and
provide
training
towards
staff
members
so
that
they
can
get
trained
that
they
may
not
be
able
to
get
from
other
places.
You
know
they
can
get
it
here
here
at
home.
You
know
versus
that
would
possibly
cost
the
district
a
ton
of
money,
they
send
them
other
places,
but
they
do
that.
B
Do
a
lot
of
that
training,
in-house
and
I
just
want
to
give
just
recruits
for
that
that
it
was
a
shown
track
record
of
also
of
how
many
trainings
that
the
district
has
have
in-house
training
versus
that
probably
would
cost
us
millions
and
other
other
places
and
from
staff
traveling.
So
I
thought
that
was
a
that
was
very.
That
was
a
very
good
thing
too,
for
them
shown
that
they
have
worked
hard
to
save
district
and
taxpayers
and
money.
Thank.
N
A
E
You
and
I
will
say
if
anyone
wants
to
see
the
full
two
and
a
half
hour
presentation,
it
will
be
available
on
County
Channel,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
good
information
and
I
would
also
I
I.
Second
Mr
Smith's
Kudos
I
think
that
the
district
is
doing
a
great
job
with
its
evaluation.
They
are
reaching
out
to
universities.
E
I
also
want
to
say:
I
have
been
a
little
hard
on
the
HR
department
because
of
data,
because
it
is
such
an
error,
we
need
to
really
see
what's
going
on
and
understand,
it's
not
just
a
local
hiring
event
of
old.
It
is
going
out
to
universities,
it
is
recruiting.
I
was
very
impressed
by
the
amount
of
data
that
they
brought
and
the
analysis
that
they
had
done
on
it.
So
I
wanted
to
put
that
in
there.
E
Additionally,
we
coming
out
of
this
committee
meeting.
It
became
clear
that
the
OE
4.2,
which
is
volunteer
background
checks
that
is
going
to
be
under
Dr
bruder's
purview,
and
so
we
would
like
to
move
that.
Oh,
we
would
like
to
have
the
policy
committee
talk
about
taking
that
OE
off
of
the
hroe
and
putting
it
into
something
with
student
services?
I,
don't
think
we
need
a
motion.
I
would
just
like
to
request
that
policy
meeting.
E
Add
that
to
their
agenda
and
then
finally,
we
have
another
meeting
tomorrow,
which
is
a
facilities
focused
meeting
we'll
get
our
construction
update
as
well
as
our
safety
update.
That's
our
annual
end
of
the
year
safety
assessment,
and
that
will
be
at
two
o'clock
here
at
the
district,
and
we
will
have
another
meeting
with
kind
of
an
HR
focus
on
December
14th
time
to
be
determined,
and
that
will
be
we'll
get
that
what
I
talked
about
with
the
grievance
process
and
a
few
other
things
are
coming
to
that
meeting.
BZ
Thank
you,
Dr
Watts,
Miss,
Boatwright
I'm,
going
to
try
to
follow
your
example
to
be
very
concise
seriously.
You
did
a
two
and
a
half
hour
meeting
into
three
minutes
and
and
Alice.
Your
team
did
a
great
job,
great
job,
okay,
so
the
policy
committee
met
last
week
and
we're
bringing
forward
a
couple
things
to
the
board
for
your
purview
and
approval.
BZ
BZ
Mr
Nick
flowers
and
Wendy
Cartledge
have
worked
very
hard
on
developing
the
bylaws
of
the
Beaufort
County
School
District
Health
advisory
committee.
It's
a
mandated
committee
by
State
Statute,
and
so
it
is.
It
was
in
your
board,
docs
last
board
meeting
and
it's
here
for
us
today,
so
I
move
that
we
accept
the
bylaws
of
the
Beaufort
County
School
District
Health
advisory
committee
I.
Second,.
BS
BZ
B
BZ
B
CA
Good
evening,
so
this
committee
has
the
purview
of
three
areas
in
State
statue
of
reviewing
curriculum,
instructional
materials
and
relationships
to
the
reproductive
health,
education,
Family,
Life,
Education
and
pregnancy
prevention,
education,
the
only
other
caveat,
would
be
if
STDs
is
taught
as
a
separate
instructional
unit.
Then
this
would
be
covered
into
that
purview.
Also.
CA
So
it's
just
when
the
district's
going
to
adopt
any
kind
of
curricular
materials
that
address
one
of
those
specific
areas
in
the
law,
then
it
would
go
through
this
committee
to
be
reviewed
and
they're
advising
the
board
then
over
what
their,
what
they
believe
and
then
it's
still
up
to
the
board,
though,
to
take
any
necessary
action
that
they
see
fit.
So
it's
just
an
advisory
committee
on
those
three
topics
so
for
our
district.
F
The
other
thing
that
we
needed
to
add
is
that
by
the
statute
Mr
Smith
and
for
members
of
the
community,
we're
required
to
have
a
13-member
local
advisory
committee
with
with
clergy
and
health
professionals,
teachers,
students,
one
being
the
president
of
the
student
body
and
two
other
persons
who
aren't
employed
by
the
district.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
we
get
this
committee
organized
and
working,
and
the
committee
has
that
option.
F
CA
It's
the
board's
committee,
so
we
will.
What
will
happen
is
and
this
will
it
sets
the
process
forward,
so
we
will
put
out
to
receive
people
from
the
community
and
the
school
district
and
everybody
that
satisfies
the
various
components.
And
then
that
will
go
through
the
academics
committee
then
to
to
select
a
nominee
that
we
brought
to
the
full
board
then
to
be
voted
on
for
appointment
to
the
committee.
CA
Thank
you
and-
and
we
set
it
for
a
three-year
term,
so
it'll
be
on
a
rotating
and
the
very
last
page
kind
of
puts
out
that
I
didn't
want
the
entire
committee
to
go
off
every
three
years.
So
I
went
ahead
and
kind
of
predetermined
as
we
select
people,
then
that
the
committee
would
vote
to
see
which
of
the
rotating
terms
that
they
would
fill.
So
we
would
be
about
three
three,
four,
each
every
three
years.
BZ
Of
course,
I
was
going
to
ask
that
you
come
up
and
share
just
a
little
bit
about
this,
and
so
for
your
edification.
There,
Mr
Smith,
Roman
numeral
3A,
the
SC.
The
states
of
the
HAC
shall
be
appointed
by
the
local
school
board.
Okay,
so
definitely
that
is
a
school
board
job
all
right,
so
call
the
question:
yes,
okay,.
A
BZ
Second
thing
that
we
looked
at
was
our
public
comment
card.
We
did
note
that
there
was
a
little
discrepancy
between
some
of
the
wording
on
the
public
common
card
and
what
is
in
our
policy,
so
we
are
bringing
forward
to
the
board
that
we
change
the
public
comment
card
to
reflect.
What
is
in
policy?
So,
if
you
will
look
at
the
second
bullet,
okay
on
the
public,
what
was
in
information
and
Robin?
If
you
can
call
that
up
please,
the
second
bullet
is
directly
out
of
our
policy.
BZ
Refrain
from
racial
comments,
obscenities
and
vulgarities
shall
not
reference
or
make
derogatory
comment
about
specific
individuals
by
name
and
shall
not
commit
other
breaches
of
respect.
Speakers
May
reference,
the
names
of
specific
board
members,
but
such
Communications
will
not
include
gossip
defamatory
words
or
abusive
and
vulgar
language,
so
that
is
a
change
there.
BZ
A
E
One
thing
with
these
public
comment
cards
that
I
would
like
to
have
personally,
and
this
is
maybe
for
Robin,
but
I
would
like
to
require
that
people
fill
out
their
address
so
that
if
they're
in
my
constituent,
District
I
can
send
an
email
to
them.
If
they
have,
you
know
what
I
mean
like
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
have
that
communication.
E
A
BZ
A
B
Well,
I
was
going
to
say
maybe,
or
we
could
put
slasher
or
slash
representative.
Maybe
that
way
they
can
tell
us
who
they
some.
Some
people
do
know
who
they're
Representatives.
They
can
just
say
you
know
they
don't
want
to
put
that
and
they
can
just
say
I'm
from
District
three
I'm
from
District.
You
know
so
that
your
representative
does
have
that
opportunity
to
reach
out
if
they
want
to
that's
all,
because
everyone's
not
coming
to
put
in
the
address
and
I
understand
that.
BA
J
BZ
So
over
the
past
year,
or
so
long,
we've
been
adding
to
things
that
belong
in
the
handbook,
so
I'm
just
bringing
it
forward
to
the
board
to
suggest
that
we're
going
to
put
into
the
handbook
information
about
foia.
You
know
some
additional
information
we're
going
to
put
in
there
the
rules
and
responsibilities
that
are
right
out
of
the
statutes,
the
rules
and
responsibilities
of
board
members.
In
our
policy.
We
know
what
the
roles
and
responsibility
of
our
board
member
officers
it's
it's
noted,
but
it's
not
noted
necessarily
of
what
it
is
for.
BZ
You
know,
non-officers
of
the
board,
we're
going
to
have
a
a
list
of
things
for
new
board
members
to
know
what
they
sh.
What
kind
of
information
they
should
expect,
such
as
the
guiding
principles
of
coherent
governance
and
also
the
the
other
thing
that
we
talked
about,
is
that
some
of
our
emotions
rise
to
the
level
policy
and
they
need
to
then
be
put
into
the
other
parts
of
our
policy
book.
So
there
was
a
motion
taken
on
October
22nd
2020
that
board
members
badges
will
provide
access
to
district
office.
BZ
Only
We
believe
that
that
air,
that
particular
motion
should
go
into
GC
3.9
when
it
talks
about
members,
shall
make
official
visits
to
schools.
So
we're
just
going
to
it's
already
policy.
It
doesn't
need
to
be
passed
so
we're
just
going
to
let
everybody
know
that
that's
going
to
go
into
the
appropriate
spot
within
the
policy.
BZ
So
that
was
our
second
policy
committee
within
like
two
weeks
and
we've
gotten
a
lot
done.
There
is
not
another
policy
committee
meeting
scheduled
that
will
be
the
new
board
with
new
policy
members
beginning
in
January,
and
the
one
item
that
Ingrid
just
mentioned
all
right
should
make
sure
if
you
Robin,
if
you
can
take
note
of
that
one
for
the
new
policy
committee
members.
That
concludes
my
report.
A
A
BZ
And
you
know-
and
we
discussed
that
I
believe
even
miss
cushaberry
might
have
brought
that
up,
and
so
what
we're
going
to
also
have
in
there
are
links.
Okay
links
to
this
links
to
that,
just
so
that
a
new
board
members,
especially
an
old
board
members,
will
be
able
to
have
it
all
in
one
spot.
Okay,
so
that
is
also
going
to
be
added
to
the
handbook.
Thank.
BZ
BW
A
All
right
there
be
no
further
hands
up
we're
on
to
announcements.
I
know
we're
having
a
work
session
on
Friday
at
the
district
office,
so
that's
November
18th
and
we
are
also
having
it.
The
teacher
forum
is
having
their
annual
legislative
breakfast
on
the
the
day
prior
9
A.M
on
November
17th
out
at
TCL.
Thank
you,
Mr
Smith,
oh
yeah,.
B
E
B
Actually
I
thought
I
thought
I
thought
it
was
taken.
I
thought
it
was
voted
off
all
together.
I
thought
I
thought
that
was
Sid
at
the
agenda,
setting
that
that
it
would
it
was
already
discussed,
and
that
was
that
that
was
over
I
mean
that's.
My
understanding
now
at
the
agenda
said
at
the
agenda
setting
I
thought.
That
was
what
was
said.
That's
why
I
put
it
back
on
the
agenda
because
I
don't
remember
it
even
being
sent
to
operations.
E
B
And
I
believe
I
already
bought
that
up
and
was
said
that
it
was
already
it
was
already
dealt
with,
and
that's
not
wasn't
something
that
we
was
discussing
is
that
my
memory
serves
me
correctly.
So
that's
the
point
of
me
bringing
it
back
up
because
it
was
actually
left
in
operations
when
I
was
on
the
operations
committee.
If
my
memory
assures
me
correctly,
we
we
had
a
task
to
do
and
we
were
doing
that
and
then
covert
hit.
CB
AK
CB
My
background
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
much
but
I
was
a
commander
in
the
Navy
submarine
Force
weapons
officer,
and
it
was
also
a
Christian
minister,
approved
by
the
Navy
on
board
that
submarine
to
provide
spiritual
guidance
counseling
with
with
the
crew,
and
so
you
know,
I'm
old
school.
You
know
back
when
scripture
was
scripture
and
you
know
we
look
at
the
makeup
of
South
Carolina's
example:
you've
got
78
percent,
identify
as
Christians,
so
as
Christians
I.
Look
at
the
word
of
God.
CB
The
Bible
is
the
word
of
God,
and
but
new
churches
have
Arisen
lately
and
they're
kind
of
saying
all
the
things
that
we
used
to
say
that
that
was
forbidden
in
scripture
is
now
saying.
Well,
it's
acceptable
now!
Well,
that's
that's!
Not
the
position!
I'm
taking
and
I
think
this
is
all
a
personal
decision.
Everybody
needs
to
make
and
look
at
themselves,
but
you
know
the
scripture
says
that
God
has
written
his
law
upon
your
hearts.
CB
You
know
you,
don't
you
don't
need
a
lot
of
these
things
in
life,
to
tell
you
what's
right
and
what's
wrong
and
I
strongly
believe
that
what's
in
these
books
needs
to
be
looked
at
again
and
appropriate
decisions
made
for
the
children
and
I
think
you
need
to
follow
what
your
spirit
is
telling
you,
what
God's
talking
to
your
heart?
Not
what
man
is
saying,
what
other
organizations
or
other
churches
or
whatnot
but
God,
speaks
to
your
heart
directly
and
I.
CB
Think
you
need
to
consider
that
and
do
the
right
thing
three
of
the
Gospels
talking
about
Luke,
Matthew
and
Mark
specifically
talk
about,
but
if
you
cause
one
of
these
little
ones
who
trusts
in
me
to
fall
into
sin
now
these
are
the
words
of
Jesus.
Christ
himself
fall
into
sin.
It
would
be
better
for
you
to
have
a
large
Millstone
tied
around
your
neck
and
be
drowned
in
the
depths
of
the
sea.
CB
AU
CB
Might
say
boy,
that's
bully
language.
Well,
that's
got
himself
speaking,
and
this
is
a
truth
that
I
take.
So
we
need
to
be
careful
what
words
are
in
these
books
and
what
children
get
from
that,
especially
with
books
that
they
can
check
out
themselves
and
take
home
and
whatever,
without
even
their
parents,
even
having
a
say
in
it.
AG
AS
S
Evening,
I'm,
Deborah,
Stevenson
and
you've
also
in
10
speaking
on
books,
I
wasn't
expecting
to
be
here.
I
haven't
had
kids
in
the
school
system
for
over
20
years,
but
I
was
at
a
dinner
party
last
week
and
someone
read
an
excerpt
from
see
if
I
get
this
right
me
and
Earl
and
the
dying
girl
I'm
not
even
sure
that's
proper
English,
but
it
had.
S
It
went
in
great
detail
about
eating
a
girl's
body,
parts
and
I'm,
not
gonna,
get
nasty
here,
because
it
almost
took
two
people
that
were
sitting
at
the
table
or
in
their
80s
and
I
honest
to
God
thought
we
were
going
to
have
to
give
the
Heimlich
maneuver
to
them.
But
I
look
at
it
and
I
go.
You
know.
S
They
were
full
of
foreigners
and
then
I
find
out.
That's
because
we
don't
have
the
talent
to
go
out
and
get
there's,
not
enough.
Talent
out
there
and
every
bit
of
time
is
spent
on
smut
or
things
that
are
non-disciplined
and
non-focused
is
actually
hurting.
Our
country
is
hurting
everyone,
because
we
just
don't
have
the
talent
to
be
pulling
these
people
in.
So
we
need
stem.
You
know
the
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math,
and
every
kid
can
learn
that
they
need
to
be
focused
and
and
guided
towards
a
productive
society
and
productive
for
them.
S
Because
they'll
feel
really
good.
I
was
the
first
woman
to
get
a
master's
in
Engineering
in
my
in
Ohio,
University
and
I
feel
darn,
proud
of
that
and
I
came
from
a
low-class
family
and
my
dad
didn't
even
graduate
high
school.
So
it
can
be
done
and
it
can
be
done
to
anybody.
I,
don't
care
your
race,
your
sex,
it
doesn't
matter,
but
it
takes
focus
and
it
takes
discipline
and
we
don't
have
time
for
smut.
BP
Okay,
you
all
have
to
excuse
me,
because
I'm
doing
this
on
the
Fly
I
like
to
have
prepared
what
I'm
going
to
say
but
like
to
refer
to
your
new
board
rules,
saying
refrain
from
racial
comments.
Obscenities
and
vulgarities
shall
not
reference
or
make
derogatory
comments
about
specific
individuals
by
name
and
shall
not
commit
other
breaches
of
respect.
Speakers
May
reference,
the
name
of
specific
board
members,
but
such
communication
will
not
include
gossip
defamatory
words
or
abusive
or
vulgar
language.
BP
A
CC
B,
you
can
wow
already
a
minute
ticked
off.
Well
that
was
fast
I.
Think
of
going
from
when
my
daughter
was
born
to
she's
14
now
running
in
a
state
cross-country
championship
good
evening,
Madam,
chair
board
members,
Dr
Rodriguez
I,
don't
know
see
how
the
online
thanks
for
giving
me
a
chance
to
speak.
CC
Even
in
the
district's
vision
statement,
it
indicates
a
safe
environment
for
children,
so
I
want
to
make
that
note.
I
do
have
to
applaud
and
congratulate
Dr
Stratus
and
Dr
Rodriguez
for
taking
action
as
quickly
as
they
did
and
and
for
getting
the
support
of
so
many
parents
to
do
what
they're
trying
to
do
I
know.
It's
very
difficult.
CC
I
personally
have
been
selected
to
a
Review,
Committee
and
I.
Think
the
key
factor
in
reviewing
these
books
is
looking
at
them
through
the
eyes
of
the
child
that
would
be
reading
the
book,
not
necessarily
Through
The
Eyes
of
a
parent
or
an
adult.
So
if
a
book
is
located
in
a
middle
school,
I
have
to
look
at
that
as
a
middle
schooler.
CC
As
a
parent
I
expect
my
children
to
be
exposed
to
different
faiths,
religions
and
beliefs,
I
don't
expect
them
to
be
exposed
to
this
type
of
obscene
material.
That's
unfit
for
a
minor
I
want
to
start
off
by
saying
I
believe
in
the
United
States,
Constitution
and
I
believe
in
the
freedom
of
speech,
I
believe
in
the
idea
of
the
freedom
to
read,
but
for
children.
That's
with
the
consent
of
a
parent.
The
constitutional
right
to
free
speech
does
not
protect
obscenity,
language
or
pornography
when
being
distributed
to
minors.
CC
You
have
an
attorney
to
pay
for
that.
To
pay
that
you
have
an
attorney
that
you
pay
a
lot
of
money
that
will
share
the
judge
judgments
with
you
in
regards
to
that
matter,
for
the
people
who
think
we're
trying
to
ban
books,
go
educate
yourself
and
take
a
look
at
what's
on
the
list
of
books,
that's
being
challenged,
the
books
that
being
challenged
do
not
Target
any
gender,
sexual
preference
or
race.
They
do
Target
whether
or
not
they're
age
appropriate
and
actually
contain
educational
material
of
any
value.
CC
Some
people
look
at
me
and
say:
why
is
he
fighting
so
hard
for
these
things
as
a
parent
I?
Don't
get
it?
I
have
two
beautiful
children
that
were
a
gift
from
God
and
when
they
were
born,
God
told
me
that
I
had
to
protect
them,
so
protect
them
is
what
I
do
currently
I
have
to
protect
them
from
their
own
schools.
It's
kind
of
disappointing,
because
I'm
supposed
to
entrust
my
children
with
their
teachers
and
right
now,
I,
don't
feel
comfortable
with
it.

Most
recently,
I
was
faced
with
the
issue
of
being
intentionally
defeated
in
a
school
Improvement
Council
election
and
a
big
part
of
it
had
to
do
with
the
way.
I
speak
out
in
regards
to
my
comments
here
at
public
meetings,
I'd
like
the
board
to
investigate
that
election
from
the
Hilton
Head
Elementary
ibsic.

Yes,
there
was
a
phone
call
in
saying
that
they
didn't
they
had
a
shortage
of
people
applying
to
be
on
these
book
committees,
I
sent
in
a
request
I'm
more
than
willing.
You
all
have
my
contact
information
I,
wait
to
hear
from
you
I'm
more
than
happy
I'm,
retired
I'm,
self-employed
I'm
happy
to
be
on
a
committee
book.

And
they
are
welcome
to
those
beliefs
and
they
are
welcome
to
share
those
beliefs
with
others,
but
where
that
is
not
appropriate,
is
in
our
public
school
system.
So
we
don't
use
any
specific
religion
to
choose
books
that
are
for
the
public
schools,
and
so
maybe
some
folks
would
be
more
comfortable
if
their
children
attended
private
religious
institutions.
If
that
is
a
type
of
education
they're
looking
for,
but
in
a
public
school,
we
have
serve
all
students,
as
I
mentioned
before.
So
thanks
again,
y'all
have
a
great
night.
