Hearing
none
I'll
Now
call
for
a
vote
on
approval
of
the
agenda.
All
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed
agenda's
approved
first
item
of
business.
I
would
like
to
open
the
floor
for
nominations
for
chair
of
the
school
board.
By
way
of
reminder,
nominations
do
not
require
a
second.
Do
we
have
any
nominations,
Dr.

to
discuss
the
assignment
appointment,
performance,
disciplining
and
release
of
contract
for
specific
School
Board
employees,
eight
for
consultational
consultation
with
legal
counsel,
employed
or
retained
by
the
school
board.
Regarding
the
specific
legal
matter
requiring
the
provision
of
legal
advice
by
such
Council.
E
B
E
H
It's
the
green
one,
okay
good
evening
in
front
of
you
tonight
is
second
quarter
as
of
December
31st,
our
projection
for
how
we're
comparing
to
budget
for
this
year
and
I'll
go
over
the
revenue
expenditures
and
also
the
other
fund
balances
other
than
the
operating
fund.
First,
we'll
touch
on
the
revenue.
H
There
we
go
we're
looking
pretty
good
on
the
revenue
side,
I
I
did
on
the
second
quarter
forecast,
unlike
the
first
quarter,
anticipate
some
supplemental
Appropriations,
which
are
later
on
in
this
meeting
for
information
that
will
build
into
the
budget
for
this
year.
So
this
analysis
is
considering
that
those
supplemental
Appropriations
are
approved
and
goes
forward
on
that.
H
H
I
actually
did
not
propose
a
all
the
all
the
money
I
think
we're
going
to
get
in
on
sales
tax,
because
I
don't
think
we
need
it
on
the
expenditure
side,
but
nine
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
supplemental
there,
and
also
some
on
the
federal
revenue
so
overall
on
the
revenue
side,
I'm
projecting
that
we're
going
to
come
in
1.2
million
over
budget
after
the
supplementals
are
completed
and
in
the
budget
so
very
strong.
On
the
revenue
side.
H
I'd
say
the
majority
of
that
is
really
on
the
state
side,
mainly
on
the
sales
tax
and
we'll
continue
to
monitor
that
on
the
sales
tax,
probably
coming
in
near
seven
percent
over
projection
from
the
state,
we
could
end
up
close
to
1.5
to
2
million
dollars
more
in
sales
tax
than
what
was
budgeted
by
the
state,
so
very
strong
on
that
side.
Any
questions
on
the
revenue
for
me,
members
of
the.
H
Yes,
we
do
we
actually
any
of
the
expenditures
from
the
federal
side
on
covid,
except
for
timing
delays
at
the
end
of
the
year.
If
we
have
any
covid
related
expenditures,
we
reimbur,
we
ask
for
reimbursement
and
we
get
that
back
in
the
following
month.
Is
that
in
these
numbers,
I
did
have
to
make
any
adjustments.
There
was
coveted
dollars
built
into
the
budget
originally
and
I'm,
not
making
any
adjustments
to
to
those
dollars.
H
H
H
My
projection
on
the
cares
coveted
numbers
we're
actually
not
going
to
spend
as
much
on
the
sr2
or
sr3,
maybe
than
what
we
had
budgeted
for.
We
just
didn't
use
as
many
positions,
but
I
accounted
for
that
in
here
really
on
the
federal
dollars,
any
Federal
grant
when
I'm
doing
projections,
whatever
I'm
projecting
in
Revenue
I'm
projecting
in
expenditures,
it's
really
kind
of
it.
It
Nets
out
to
zero.
So
it
really
doesn't
kind
of
factor
in
to
what
I'm
projecting
for
the
year.
H
We
are,
we
are
applying
those
coveted
dollars
for
some
learning
loss.
We
did
apply
it
to
some
positions
this
year
for
teaching
positions,
but
those
are
not
automatically
rebuilt
into
the
fall
and
year
budget.
Okay,
those
are
used
that
money's
going
away.
That
is
not
a
reoccurring.
Long-Term
stream,
we
will
have
some
more
coveted
dollars
available
for
the
operating
fund
and
the
24
budget,
but
that
has
to
be
done
by
the
end
of
24
and
then
it's
done.
Okay,.
D
H
It's
on
a
federal
timeline,
so
I
think
it's
September
of
24.,
where
you
have
to
have
it
encumbered
or
spent,
and
then
you
have
to
get
reimbursed
on
that.
So
really
by
the
end
of
the
24
year,
we
plan
to
have
all
those
dollars
done
and
spent
a
lot
of.
That
is
also
in
the
maintenance
project.
We
have
sr3
designated
for
TJ
and
for
good
view,
because
those
projects
are
being
done
in
this
current
summer.
So
we're
spending
all
that
down.
Sorry.
H
So
very
strong
on
the
revenue
side.
This
is
better
than
the
opposite
way,
where
we
have
a
shortage
of
Revenue
and
we're
having
to
make
Cuts
so
1.2
million
current
projection
on
that,
and
it
looks
pretty
good
the
only
kind
of
uncertainty
there
is
if
the
sales
tax
falls
off
dramatically
and
the
SEC
you
know
second
half
of
the
year.
We
just
don't
know,
what's
going
to
happen
with
that
in
the
economy,
but
it
looks
pretty
strong
right
now
to
come
in
I
had
to
have
had
a
schedule.
H
So
that
leaves
us
a
little
cushion
for
unexpected
things
in
any
of
those
categories
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
But
we
look
very
strong
on
the
expenditure
side.
I
think
the
question
was
asked
yesterday:
what
if
some
things
come
in
and
you
have
to
spend
more
than
that?
773
I'd
have
to
come
back
to
this
board
and
do
more
supplemental
Appropriations
to
get
money
into
the
budget
to
do
that.
But
we
cannot
go
beyond
what
what
the
budget
or
supplementals
do.
At
that
point,
you
can
look
at
each
of
the
categories.
H
H
Some
some
expenditures
really
there.
We
delayed
our
purchases
of
teacher
computers,
so
we
could
go
after
a
grant,
not
in
the
supplementals
tonight,
but
we
are
awarded
a
grant
for
120
000
because
we
delayed
on
that
we're
able
to
go
out
go
after
that
money.
So
we
need
to
build
some
more
money
in
it
because
we
delayed
the
purchases
from
last
year
to
this
year
to
go
after
the
grant
money.
H
And
then
there
were
some.
You
know
some
other
grants
that
we
went
after
and
were
awarded
and
I'll
go
over
that
in
more
detail
in
a
little
bit,
but
on
the
expenditure
side,
we're
looking
very,
very
good
too,
to
come
in
about
773
000
under
budget.
When
you
combine
come
in
an
over
budget
on
the
revenue
and
under
budget
on
the
expenditures
projected
any
bounce
of
about
two
million
dollars
at
the
end
of
the
year
on
the
operating
fund.
H
And
if
that
were
to
hold
or
if
we're
close
to
that,
that
would
come
back
to
the
board
after
the
audit
next
year.
And
then
we
could
reappropriate
that
money,
probably
to
the
CIP
fund
for
maintenance
projects,
so
that
that
would
be
in
the
future
for
one-time
expenditures.
Anything
that's
left
in
the
ending
balance,
so
that
kind
of
covers
the
operating
fund
on
the
expenditure
and,
on
the
revenue
side,
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
and
how
we're
looking
there.
H
H
Go
to
the
last
some
more
details
on
some
of
those
other
pages,
but
now
we'll
go
to
the
separate
funds
other
than
the
operating
fund
nutrition
fund
had
some
discussion
in
the
committee
about
this
too
over
the
last
few
years
that
bounce
has
built
up
because
of
the
federal
programs
during
covid
that
every
kid
was
eaten
for
free.
The
state
does
require
our
supervisor
of
nutrition
to
detail,
how
we're
going
to
spend
that
money
down
they
actually
have
to
approve,
and
they
want
us
to
spend
that
money
down.
H
Three
months
is
about
a
million
dollars,
so
there's
some
money
we
have
to
spend
down
part
of
the
way
we're
going
to
spend
that
down
and
which
was
detailed
yesterday
is
we're
replacing
a
lot
of
old
equipment.
That's
you
know
that
needs
to
be
taken.
Care
of
part
of
the
raises
from
last
year,
and
this
year
in
in
the
24
budget,
would
go
towards
that
and
some
new
software
and
replacing
out
that
and
some
marketing
efforts
to
try
to
increase
sales.
So
all
that's
going
to
go
to
the
state.
H
H
Supervisor
of
nutrition,
who
reports
to
me,
we
go
over
and
say
we're
going
to
do
that,
and
then
we
have
to
submit
that
to
the
state
and
saying
how
we're
going
to
spend
some
of
this
fund
balance
down
over
the
next
year
or
two
to
get
that
down
to
a
lower
level.
They
do
not
want
to
see
balances,
ballooning
out
there.
It
should
be
being
spent
on
the
kids
and
on
equipment
and
maintaining
the
nutrition
fund.
H
I
actually
think
it
should
be
a
little
bit
higher,
because
I
usually
argue
back
to
the
state
that
we
pay
our
employees
over
July
and
August.
You
have
no
revenues
coming
in,
so
probably
where
our
balance
should
be
is
about
1.6
million,
because
that
that
would
allow
the
run
out
of
July
and
August
for
the
previous
year
contract
and
leave
a
reserve
of
a
million
dollars
at
any
time.
So
we
got.
C
H
G
Madam
chairman
I,
would
just
add
that
we
talked
extensively
with
the
supervisor
of
nutrition
and
a
lot
of
our
kitchens
have
very
very
dated
appliances
in
them
service
lines
that
need
to
be
replaced
right
down
to
the
cutlery
and
safety
equipment
that
we
need.
So
a
lot
of
this
money
that
she
has
to
spend
down
is
going
directly
into
replacing
the
appliances,
the
service
lines,
The
Cutlery,
the
safety,
the
the
emergency
kits,
things
like
that
we
are
going
to
take
whatever
appliances
we
can
and
put
them
on
the
gov
deal.
G
G
She
is
planning
on
like
trying
to
Brand
our
cafeterias
talking
to
students
about
what
they'd
like
to
see
and
how
we
can
do
that
so
she's
going
to
provide
me
with
a
specific
list
of
what
she's
going
to
replace
she
had
it,
but
we
were
making
changes
so
she's
going
to
provide
me
with
one
and
then
I'll
get
that
out
to
you
as
soon
as
I
I
get
it
from
her.
You.
D
K
I
G
H
F
H
C
H
H
Moving
on
to
the
textbook
fund,
some
of
those
dollars
were
spent
down.
We
still
have
dollars
reserved
for
an
adoption
that
the
state
has
still
not
given
guidance
on
we're
hoping
for
beginning
of
next
year
on
that,
so
the
current
bounces
there
that
bounce
will
continue
to
grow
the
rest
of
the
year
as
more
State
money
flows
into
the
textbook
fund
and
and
builds
up
for
when
we
have
another
adoption.
H
H
Maintenance
Reserve
fund-
this
is
a
very
interesting
one
to
track,
because
there's
there's
coveted
money
and
from
three
different
grants
under
covid
flowing
in
there's,
accounts
receivable
sitting
out
there.
We
wait
for
the
money
to
flow
through
as
the
state
reviews.
Those
those
are
somewhat
delayed
at
this
time,
but
current
cash
balance
I
see
is
about
four
million
dollars.
Some
of
those
that
money
will
be
committed
to
projects
that
are
already
ongoing.
H
As
at
the
next
facility
committee
meeting
I'll
update
that
committee
on
what
I
think
is
available
to
move
forward
with
other
projects
that
are
not
committed.
So
some
of
that
4
million
is
already
committed
to
ongoing
projects,
but
it'll
be
my
job
to
really
kind
of
how
much?
How
much
further
can
we
go?
H
What
else
can
we
launch
on
and
move
forward
on,
so
the
maintenance
Reserve
fund,
looking
in
good
shape,
it'll,
actually
continue
to
build
up
because
the
state
revenue,
if
you
look
at
that
line
item
it's
at
1.1
Million
by
the
end
of
the
year,
will
be
well
over
three
million.
That's
how
much
the
state
gave
one
time
in
this
year
budget
to
flow
to
that
fund.
H
Just
waiting
to
finalize
that
sr3
is
just
TJ
in
good
view
and
those
should
be
completed
after
this
summer
and
then
that
should
take
care
of
most
of
the
cares
act,
money
for
projects
and
then
it's
basically
local
money
flowing
in
that
will
support
what
we've
got
any
questions
on
the
maintenance
Reserve
fund.
This
is
really
high
level.
Show
you
what
the
cash
balance
is.
The
facility
committee
really
deals
with
the
prioritization
in
launching
on
things
that
are
in
the
in
the
plan.
F
H
Self
and
self
insured,
Health
Fund,
as
you
all
know,
I-
think
I
briefed
last
year
last
year
was
We
got
hit
a
little
bit
harder
and
our
bounce
went
down
Midway
through
the
year.
You
can
see.
Our
Bounce
has
rebounded
started
the
year
about
5.3
million
dollars,
and
now
it's
over
6
million
in
the
first
half
of
the
year.
You
would
expect
it
to
kind
of
go
up,
as
employees
have
not
hit
their
deductibles
yet
later
in
the
year.
H
You
expect
it
probably
to
go
down
as
deductibles
are
met,
and
then
you
know
we're
paying
out
of
that
100
percent.
So,
but
it's
good
to
see
it
going
in
that
direction,
which
will
hopefully
hold-
and
hopefully
we
can
come
out
with
you-
know-
no
increase
on
the
premium
next
year.
Our
loss
ratio
is
about
80
percent.
Right
now,
when
I
talk
to
our
Consultants
last,
which
kind
of
proves
that
our
balance
is
going
up,
more
cash
is
in
reserves
and
so
we're
having
a
very
good
year.
H
So
far,
a
few
claims
can
change
that
so
across
your
fingers.
We're
we're
in
a
good
we're
in
good
shape
on
our
health
fund.
At
this
point
we
did
go
up
five
percent
in
the
current
year,
Budget
on
premiums,
so
you
see
additional
dollars
flowing
into
there,
so
that
was
probably
that
looks
like
a
good
move
to
build
that
Reserve
back
up
any
questions
on
our
health
insurance
fund.
H
L
H
The
maintenance
department,
maybe
in
transportation,
we'll
watch
the
fuel
rates
and
if
those
start
to
come
down,
we
might
go
out
for
bid
on
those.
But
at
this
point,
we're
holding
and
we'll
just
buy
off
the
state
contract
rack
price
and
if
we
see
prices
come
down
quite
a
bit,
we'll
probably
come
forward
to
the
board
to
kind
of
go
out
for
bid
and
lock
in
prices
in
the
future.
But
that's
that's
a
variable.
I
can
I
can
plan
for
what
I
see
right
now,
but
that
might
change.
H
A
A
It's
the
first
conversation
we're
very
early
in
this
and
we'll
continue
to
look
at
this
together
at
the
budget
finance
committee
and
the
board
over
the
next
several
months
and
I'll
bring
you
a
superintendent's
estimate
of
needs
in
March,
so
over
the
holidays,
we
did
get
the
delivery
of
the
governor's
proposed
budget.
Of
course
the
legislature
is
now
in
session.
The
house
will
take
this
up.
The
Senate
will
take
this
up
and
we'll
come
up
with
three
different
budgets
and
throughout
between
now
and
into
February
there'll,
be
lots
of
discussion
in
Richmond.
A
We're
hopeful
that
by
mid
to
mid
February
third
week
in
February,
we'll
have
a
clearer
picture
of
what
the
allocation
is
going
to
be,
and
so
we've
already
scheduled
a
budget
finance
committee
meeting
around
that
date,
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
keep
the
budget
finance
committee
updated
and
then
come
back
to
the
board.
Yes,
Dr
mealy.
G
Thank
you,
Dr
Morgan
I,
just
wanted
to
say
to
the
board.
You
know,
I
did
receive
all
of
your
requests
and
I
did
pass
that
on
what
your
Dr
Bergen
is
going
to
talk
about
are
things
that
were
common.
We
all
didn't
get
everything
we
wanted,
but
I
would
say
that,
based
on
what
I
received,
you
probably
got
three
of
the
things
that
you
wanted.
A
Yeah
Dr,
melee
and
I
talked
right
after
the
holidays
and
prep
for
that
budget.
Finance
committee
meeting,
of
course,
Mr
Hagler
and
I
talked
extensively
in
the
last
weeks,
so
as
he
and
I
were
thinking
about
incoming
projected
revenue,
and
we
wanted
the
feedback
from
the
board
about
where
you'd
like
to
what
direction.
You'd
like
to
point
us
to
so
I.
Think
you're
going
to
be
very
pleased
with
with
this
discussion
tonight.
The
first
handout
is
is
listed
first
for
a
reason,
the
the
LCI
handout
is
what
I
want
to
start
with.
A
We'll
have
a
soft
Landing
when
we
get
to
the
very
bottom
of
the
sheet,
the
2728
school
year
for
the
public,
who
are
viewing,
who
may
not
have
a
clear
understanding
of
what
this
reversion
fund
is.
I
want
to
spend
just
a
couple
of
minutes.
Our
board
members
I
think
you're
you're
fairly
familiar
with
this,
but
it's
important,
you
know
you'll
be
able
to
answer
questions
of
constituents.
What
does
this
mean
so
on
this?
This
first
handout
when
the
governor
proposes
an
allocation
for
us.
A
A
A
What
that
means
is
as
far
as
Richmond's
concerned,
we
can
raise
31
cents
on
the
dollar
and
they
need
to
kick
in
69
cents
on
the
dollar,
and
it's
been
that
way
for
a
number
of
years
now,
and
it
will
continue
to
be
that
way
all
the
way
through
to
27
28.,
if
they
were
to
fund
us
on
our
actual
LCI,
to
calculate
that
you
just
take
0.44,
minus
0.31
is
13
percentage
Points.
Each
of
those
percentage
points
equates
to
roughly
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
So
this
year
we
were
funded
on
our
actual
LCI.
A
It
would
be
almost
8
million
dollars,
Less
in
our
allocation
from
Richmond
than
what
we
are
going
to
be
receiving
through
the
Board
of
Supervisors.
So
you'll
recall
when
we
were
with
the
Board
of
Supervisors,
they
are.
If
you
look
down
this
County
amount
down
here,
the
Board
of
Supervisors
have
been
allocating
a
half
a
million
dollars,
500
000
each
year
towards
the
reversion
fund,
it's
cumulative.
A
So
as
we
go
into
the
next
budget
season,
the
23-24
that
allocation
from
the
Board
of
Supervisors
is
2.5
million
dollars
and
we'll
spend
that
on
Capital
needs,
and
it
will
continue
to
build
until
it
builds
up
to
4.5
million
by
2728
what
we
started
last
year
as
a
school
board
is
we
also
then
started
to
contribute
towards
the
reversion
fund.
Last
year
we
contributed
off
the
top
from
new
Revenue
two
hundred
thousand
dollars,
I'm
proposing
and
I.
Think
the
board
would
agree
with
this
that
that
we
do
better
than
that.
A
So,
if
you've
now
flipped
the
page
you'll
see
what
I
am
early
thinking
is
that
we
would
add
an
additional
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
the
200
that
we
were
already
committed
to,
which
would
take
our
our
our
contribution
towards
reversion
fund
to
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars.
If
I'm
sorry
I
said
flip
the
page.
But
if
you,
if
you
follow
that
line
of
logic
down
through
the
the
first
handout
we
go
from
200
000
in
this
budget
to
eight
hundred
thousand
next
year,
we
keep
adding
800
000.
A
A
H
A
E
E
A
That
that's
what
again
early
thinking
this
is.
This
is
based
on.
You
know
we
don't
have
a
finalized
budget
from
the
state.
I
mean
it's
just
we're
in
the
middle
of
January.
We
have
a
governance
proposed
budget,
we
don't
have
a
house
or
Senate
budget,
but
if
things
hold
to
the
governor's
budget,
this
is
on
this
next
page
is
what
we
might
anticipate,
so
state
revenue
would
be
5.6
million
more.
A
In
addition
to
what
our
current
funding
is
from
the
state
I'm
just
going
to
go
down
through,
then
what
we
might
project
is
some
expenditures
that
would
be
changes
in
next
year's
budget
in
comparison
to
this
year's
budget.
So,
first
of
all
that
transfer
to
the
maintenance
fund,
an
additional
six
to
the
current
two-
would
be
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
the
next.
The
next
four
lines,
I'm
really
really
pleased
I'm
sure
our
employees
who
are
listening
are
going
to
be
very
pleased
and
I
know
that
boy.
This
was
a
high
priority
for
you
as
well.
A
We
compensate
our
employees,
so
in
this
level
of
funding,
we
would
be
able
to
stick
with
our
step
increase
for
all
employees.
So
everybody,
wherever
they
are
on
their
pay
scale,
they
would
see
one
more
year
of
experience.
They
would
see
a
step
1.35
and
a
cost
of
living
adjustment
of
3.65
and
in
the
governor's
budget,
he's
proposed
an
additional
one
percent
increase
in
salary
for
all
all
contracted
positions,
or
is
it
soq
positions.
C
H
They're,
finding
only
the
soq
positions
at
the
LCI
rate,
so
if
you
take
all
of
our
employees
that
are
included
in
SRQ,
we
have
more
employees
than
what
the
standards
of
quality
are.
So
anybody,
above
that
we
pay
a
hundred
percent
for
the
employees
that
are
soq,
we're
paying
31
cents
on
that
they're
paying
the
69..
H
H
A
H
As
a
negative
there,
which
kind
of
seems
weird,
but
there
was
a
bonus
in
the
23
year
from
the
state
that
all
employees
received
a
thousand
dollar
bonus,
the
one
percent
is
cheaper
than
the
thousand
dollar,
so
we're
showing
a
reduction
to
the
overall
budget
because
that'll
come
in
a
little
bit
cheaper.
So
the
overall
cost
of
a
one
percent
is
about
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
The
state
will
fund
I,
think
324
000
of
that
foreign.
A
So
to
our
employees,
should
this
you
know
make
it
through
in
the
next
several
months
into
our
adopted
budget
and
then
our
approved
budget
for
our
employees,
they're
going
to
see
a
1.35
step,
a
3.65
cola,
an
additional
one
percent
bonus,
and
you
know
we
did
a
compensation
study,
and
last
year
we
were
able
to
accomplish
a
great
deal
of
that
compensation
study.
But
there's
enough
funding
here
we
could
finish
the
compensation
study.
A
So
last
year
we
prioritized
our
teachers
our
again
for
the
public
who,
who
may
not
be
aware
we
have
a
lot
of
employees.
Who've
worked
for
us
for
a
long
time
and
in
the
years
of
the
recession
and
the
years
that
followed,
they
didn't
see,
steps
and
colas,
and
then
we
hired
new
employees
at
competitive
salaries
and
it
created
compression.
So
some
of
our
most
veteran
people
in
all
positions,
weren't
making
enough
more
than
new
people.
It
created
compression
in
our
salary
scales.
So
it
also
doesn't
make
us
competitive.
A
So
we
we
rated
that
ship
last
year
for
most
veteran
teachers
for
our
custodians,
our
bus
drivers,
our
nutrition
workers
and
our
our
paraprofessionals.
We
can
finish
out
all
the
rest
of
the
employees
and
make
sure
that
those
longest
serving
employees
who
are
due
for
restoration
pay
would
receive
it.
So
those
those
are
that's
a
significant
part
of
the
state.
The
new
state
funding
would
go
towards
compensation
for
our
employees.
In
addition
to
taking
the
800
000
off
the
top
all
right,
then
the
next
three
sections
again
any
questions
at
this.
I
H
Correct
and
if
I
could
add
that
in
the
state
budget,
we
have
to
certify
that
we
gave
on
average
five
percent
or
you
have
to
turn
money,
we'll
deter,
we'll
turn
money
back
into
the
state.
We
will
not
receive
it.
So
if
we
don't
give
five
percent
I'd
have
to
read
the
details.
If
you
gave
less,
we
probably
wouldn't
get
as
much,
but
we
could
leave
State
money
on
the
table.
If
you
don't
do
the
five
percent
as
it
stands
in
the
governor's
budget,
now.
G
H
H
A
A
The
governor's
taken
a
hard,
hard
stance
and
I
think
he
has
the
support
in
the
legislature
that
students
who
are
taking
a
dual
enrollment
class
within
a
public
school
building
should
not
be
charged
a
tuition
for
taking
that
class.
We
have
lots
of
students
who
take
dual
enrollment
classes.
Inside
of
our
buildings.
A
We
have
been
collecting
from
those
families.
You
know
25
cents
on
the
dollar,
which
we
don't
keep.
We
then
give
over
to
cvcc,
because
they've
been
signing
off
on
the
dual
enrollment
credit.
The
governor's
made
a
an
argument
that
the
community
colleges
also
received
State
funding
and
that
we
should
we
shouldn't
be
collecting
money
from
families
to
give
to
the
community
colleges
for
them
to
certify
those
courses
that
are
in
our
schools,
because
those
are
our
teachers,
they're
already
paid
with
with
tax
dollars
and
those
children
are
receiving
their
education.
A
In
our
building,
but
it's
very
important
that
we
understand
there's
it's
different
when
they
leave
our
building
so
when
they
go
outside
of
the
public
schools
and
they
go
on
to
a
campus
that
is
controlled
by
this
by
the
Community
College
the
tuition.
Those
families
are
paying
we're
the
Fiscal
Agent.
Are
we
even
the
Fiscal
Agent
agent,
or
does
the
family
pay
directly
to
cvcc,
for,
like
early
college
pay
directly.
A
Just
like
you
were
enrolled
in
the
community
college,
so
so
this
is
different
right,
so
so
I'm
all
on
this
line
item
of
dual
enrollment
of
120
000
of
a
reduction
in
Revenue.
It's
because
we're
anticipating,
based
upon
how
much
revenue
we
collected
this
year
from
families
that
we
gave
over
to
cvcc,
that
we
would
not
be
collecting
that
120
000
this
year.
So
our
overall
revenue
is
would
be
decreasing
by
that
120
000
because
we
wouldn't
be
taking
it
from
families.
G
A
A
You
don't
have
to
take
the
test.
I,
don't
know
why
you
wouldn't
you
do
all
that
work.
You
take
the
test
and
you
get
a
three
or
four.
Then
you've
got
portable
college
credit
you
can
take
when
you're
enroll
in
college.
If
you
don't
take
the
test,
you
don't
get
the
credit,
but
it
it.
The
the
cost
of
the
test
doesn't
come
to
us.
It
goes
to
the
College
Board.
So
when
you
go
to
sit
for
that
AP
test,
there's
a
there's
a
fee
for
that.
A
So
we
the
to
the
budget
finance
committee
through
the
administration.
We
want
to
look
to
see
if
we
can
fund
for
students
who
are
taking
an
AP
class
in
in
our
buildings,
we'd
like
them
to
take
the
AP
tests
and
can
we
afford
to
pay
for
their
tests,
so
the
family
is
not
paying
for
you.
That's
not
included
on
this
correct
that
no
we're
still
in
a
fluid
conversation
about
how
we
would
incorporate
what
what
that
amount
of
money
would
be
and
and
how
we
could
bid
that
into
the
budget.
B
G
D
D
G
G
That
has
the
potential
to
really
explode.
So
we
would
have
to
be
talking
about
cutting
other
things.
You
know
and
if
you're
looking
at
this
budget,
maybe
you're.
You
know
these
considerations,
you
might
be
talking
about
sports
or
changes
in
the
Staffing
standards
or
something
but
there's
a
real
concern
about
the
explosion
of
the
amount
of
students
that
would
all
of
a
sudden,
say:
I
can
do
it
and
and
before
you
I.
A
A
It's
can
it's
really
convenient
for
the
camel
kids,
because
it's
on
a
campus,
that's
in
their
backyard.
It's
a
it's
a
hike
for
our
kids,
but
we
had
a
parent,
could
only
speak
to
us
and
said
you
know
Campbell's
paying
for
it
and
bedford's
not
well,
that's
true,
but
they
cap
it
Mr
Hill,
so
I
mean
there's,
there's
a
limit
to
the
number
of
it's
a
budgetary
item.
They
have
a
certain
number
of
slots
that
they
agree
to
fund
and
then
it
can
become
competitive
or
to
your
point,
Mr
Hill.
D
A
D
H
Hear
you
I
I'll
just
add
to
that
one
line:
item
we're
in
control
whether
we
charge
students
or
not.
So
we
can
build
this
in
what,
regardless
of
the
legislation
that
makes
it
through,
but
the
final
legislation
that
may
make
it
through
to
the
general
assembly
we're
just
hearing
about
it,
but
we'll
have
to
read
the
fight
we
may
now
have
to.
We
might
not
have
to
pay
cvcc
this
25
fee,
so
there
might
be
expenditure
savings
on
the
back
end,
but
I
can't
control
them.
H
D
On
in
the
budget,
but
as
a
taxpayer,
I
would
certainly
not
be
in
support
of
the
state
funding
my
kid
to
go
to
early
college
and
then
also
the
state
funding.
My
kid
as
a
number
in
the
public
school
system,
I
mean
that's
called
double
dipping
and
I
I
wouldn't
support
that
so
I
I
guess
we'll
have
to
wait
on
what
the
state
supports.
C
D
K
A
Could
be,
and
again
this
is
this
Governor
has
been
very
aggressive
in
in
I,
mean
that
in
a
positive
way
he's
you
know
wanting
like
you,
like
this
board,
more
opportunities
for
for
students.
So
this
there
I've
I'm
capturing
all
of
your
thoughts
and
we'll
continue
to
work
through
the
whole
board
and
through
the
budget
finance
committee
to
fund
as
much
as
we
can
towards
all
of
these
things,
not
just
College
preparation,
but
Workforce
Development
as
well.
A
A
It
if
it's
on
our
campus
we've
been
we've
been
collecting,
so
we've
already
accounted
for
that
we'd
like
to
expand
on
it
and
there
you
know
at
cvcc,
CTE
Technical
Center.
There
are
some
things
they
offer
that
we
don't
so
we're
we're
looking
to
see
how
we
can
complement
each
other
and
not
compete
so
that
we
have,
you
know
more
options
for
all
of
our
students
in
College
and
Career
Readiness.
Now
this
next
item
I
know
is
going
to
light
the
board.
A
So
we've
talked
about
lots
of
conversation
about
wanting
to
expand
on
Middle
School
sports.
My
concern
has
always
been:
can
we
do
it
safely?
We
only
have
one
athletic
trainer
currently
covering
all
of
the
fields
that
at
any
any
one
time.
So
in
order
to
expand,
we
would
need
to
have
more
safety
personnel.
A
Of
course,
we've
had
a
lot
of
conversation
about
the
expansion
of
school
resource
officers.
This
is
a
shared
expense
between
the
state,
the
Board
of
Supervisors
and
us.
So
in
this
upcoming
budget
we're,
you
know
we're
guessing
at
this
point,
because
we
it's
depend
on
how
many
resource
officers
are
on
the
payroll,
the
sheriff
pays
them
and
then
we'll
invoice
us
and
then
we'll
have
to
reimburse
the
sheriff
for
our
share
of
it,
which
is
25
25
next
year.
25
next.
E
A
A
And
then
it's
handed
off
to
the
locality,
but
but
Mrs
Kirby
yeah,
the
sheriff
is
hiring
you're,
looking
to
be
a
school
resource
officer
or
school
safety
officer,
which
is
also
high
level,
would
be.
You
know
someone
retired
law
enforcement
who
wants
to
continue
to
draw
their
pension,
but
go
back
and
work
as
a
school
safety
officer,
school
security
officer
SSO
either
of
them
are
applicable
to
this
grant.
A
Absolutely
all
right,
then,
the
the
next
set
of
items
on
this
handout,
beginning
with
central
office
changes.
You
see
a
decrease
and
our
overall
expense
of
a
quarter
million
dollars.
That's
in
a
couple
of
positions
that
are
vacant
that
it's
my
intent
not
to
to
fill
I
gave
a
reorganizational
plan
to
the
board
recently
and
that's
reflected
here
in
a
reduction
in
our
overall
budget
line.
Item
for
administration
position.
Changes
due
to
Staffing
standards
is
going
to
be
again
an
evolving
conversation
between
the
administration
and
the
board.
A
We
had
a
lot
of
conversation
and-
and
we
will
continue
to
how
big
is
too
big
on
a
Singleton
Elementary
classroom.
So
you
know
the
feedback
I've
received
months
ago
from
this
board
and
again
through
the
budget
finance
committee
in
our
meeting
yesterday
is
that
that's
a
high
priority
for
the
board
that
we
have.
We
determine
what
is
too
many,
and
we
assign
an
additional
instructional
assistant
to
work
with
that
teacher.
A
All
right
so
I
don't
know
what
the
number
would
be
that
we
would
have
to
budget.
But
you
know
we'll
look
at
what,
where
we
are
today,
where
we
were
last
year,
where
we
were
three
years
ago
and
we'll
come
up
with
what
we
would
be
our
best
educated
guess
how
many
of
those
positions
we
would
need
in
addition,
in
our
staffing
standards,
again
we're
going
to
do
this
in
a
separate
work
session.
A
E
N
B
E
N
To
become
teacher
of
the
year
for
Bedford
County,
Public
Schools
is
no
small
accomplishment.
Each
one
of
our
20
schools
holds
their
own
competition
and
eventually
a
teacher
of
the
year
is
chosen
at
each
of
those
20
schools.
Those
20
winners
are
then
tasked
with
undergoing
a
lengthy
and
cumbersome
process
in
which
they
create
a
portfolio
about
themselves
and
their
career
that
models
the
submission
process
at
the
state
level.
N
Those
judges
then
meet
in
person
to
deliberate
over
their
choices
until
they
can
come
to
agreement
on
three
finalists
for
the
overall
award
finalists
are
notified
in
a
very
short
time
later,
all
judges
show
up
to
one
of
their
classes
to
observe
the
teacher
in
action
before
Gathering
once
again
to
deliberate
on
a
winner
after
visiting
classrooms.
The
judges
sit
down
one
last
time
to
determine
a
winner.
C
N
Get
paid
much
less
if
you
speak
to
a
staff
member
at
Big,
Island,
Elementary,
the
majority
of
them,
or
all
will
tell
you,
there's
one
person
at
that
school
that
it
could
not
operate
without
one
person
who
has
their
vital
hands
in
so
many
areas
on
any
given
day
that
the
school
desperately
depends
on
that
person
in
various
different
ways.
Throughout
any
given
day
recently,
Big
Island
Elementary
was
given
a
huge
honor
in
the
country
being
designated
a
National,
esea
Distinguished
school
for
positive
educational
advances
and
the
outstanding
academic
achievements
of
their
students.
N
With
his
nomination
essay
for
this
person,
School
principal
Andy,
Bliss
stated
quote
realizing
that
many
students
live
in
homes
where
they
may
go
hungry.
This
person
worked
closely
with
the
United
Way
and
our
corporate
Partners
at
Georgia
Pacific
to
build
a
backpack
program
for
students
and
families
that
sends
each
home
one
full
backpack
of
food.
Each

E
E
E
P
Good
evening
I'm
Dave
Dietrich
of
the
fourth,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
doing
previous
school
board
meetings.
We
addressed
the
spirit
philosophies
of
Education
in
Bedford
I
get
the
wrong
one.
Let
me
start
over,
ladies
and
gentlemen.
I
want
to
address
the
overall
state
of
education
in
Bedford,
County
Virginia
foremost,
we
have
school
board
members,
parents
other
concerned
citizens,
teachers,
administrators
and
students
dedicated
to
improving
education.
Thank
you
for
all
you
do
going
forward
in
2023
Perhaps.
It
is
prudent
to
begin
with
revisiting
the
purpose
of
a
school
board.
P
The
education
of
students
for
the
benefit
of
individual
and
Community
is
the
foremost
responsibility
of
a
school
board.
School
boards
are
also
accountable
to
the
public.
They
are
not
accountable
to
educational
bureaucracies
or
special
interest
groups,
including
groups
that
may
push
trendy
group,
Grievances
and
or
socio-political
theories
school
boards
also
help
ensure
that
public
tax
dollars
are
used
wisely.
Of
course,
in
concert
with
overall
student
enlightenment.
P
At
times
the
Bedford
County
school
board
has
seemed
divided
on
matters
related
to
proper
administration
of
Education.
That
division
seems
to
have
focused
primarily
on
the
philosophy
Administration
whether
the
parents
and
communities
should
lead
in
school
board
matters
or
should
professional
administrators.
Both
active
and
retired,
lead.
The
way
both
approaches
appear
to
have
advantages
and
disadvantages.
Yet
an
argument
could
be
made
that
the
professional
administrator
approach
presents
a
full,
far
greater
risk.
Why
I
submit?
There
are
several
reasons:
widespread
professional
acceptance
of
trendy
curricula
and
pedagogy
might
influence
decision
making.
P
In
fact,
we
seem
to
have
witnessed
that
phenomenon
in
Bedford
County,
already
administrators,
May,
diminish
the
voice
of
parents
and
other
concerned
citizens
enhance
diminished
accountability
to
the
public.
Why
risk
the
future
of
our
children
on
such
a
risky
venture?
There
is
yet
another
factor
to
consider
recently
Hillsdale
College
president
Dr
Larry
P
Arn
pointed
out
that
the
growth
in
population
in
American,
public
schools,
from
2000
to
2019
showed
a
modest
increase
in
students
and
teachers,
7.6
percent
and
8.7
percent
respectively.
P
Yet
the
increase
in
administrators
was
a
whopping
87.6
percent.
Although
these
numbers
may
not
apply
to
Bedford
County,
absolutely
the
number
the
general
Trend
seems
to
be
very
relevant.
In
closing
this
opinion
is
not
in
an
attendant
critique
of
honorable
individuals
on
either
side
of
the
argument
who
may
disagree.
Rather,
it
is
about
educational
philosophy
and
what
is
best
for
the
children.
Thank
you.
P
M
M
Tonight,
I
just
want
to
bring
to
you
a
reminder,
and
that
is
to
contend
earnestly
content
for
the
faith.
Those
of
you
who
name
the
name-
that
is
the
standard,
above
all
other
policies,
State
teaching
associations,
if
you
name
that
name
Jude.
Instructs
us
thus
beloved
while
I
was
making
every
effort
to
write
to
you
about
our
common
salvation.
I
felt
the
necessity
to
write
to
you,
appealing
that
you
contend
earnestly
for
the
faith,
which
was
once
for
all
handed
down
to
the
Saints.
M
So
as
he
did,
then
I
feel
a
necessity
to
remind
us
all
and
the
board
of
that.
Why?
Because
of
the
days
we
live
in,
because
evil
education
of
the
masses
is
Paramount
in
order
to
bring
change,
Conformity
and
control,
and
it
has
been
written
that
these
dark
days
of
those
who
oppose
the
Living
God
would
come,
and
so
they
are
here
because
these
are
perilous
days.
M
They
are
being
propagated
by
world
leaders,
media
Etc
and
governments
as
Enlightenment
for
the
betterment
of
mankind
and
the
church
is
swallowing
that
hook
line
and
sinker
the
things
that
happened.
The
new
Ten
Commandments
in
the
ecological
Bible,
which
was
brought
forth
in
the
Sinai
Peninsula
in
December,
Mass
immigration,
climate
change,
Fiasco,
confiscation
of
guns,
drugs,
passports,
RFID
chips,
pandemics,
intentional
supply
chain
shortages
and
but
primarily
education.
Through
all
of
these
things
in
the
realm
of
Faith,
the
rates
of
anti-Semitism
and
anti-christianism
is
higher
than
it's
ever
been
since
the
first
few
centuries
after
Messiah.
M
M
We
are
not
called
to
be
people
Pleasers
Disciples
of
Messiah,
understand
that
the
world
rejects
Yeshua
and
hates
him,
and
if
it
hates
him,
they
hate
us
too.
There
should
be
no
surprise
to
us
and
should
not
daunt
us.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
major
reasons
we
must
contend.
That
is
remain
in
the
constant
struggle
for
the
holy
and
sacred
treasure
that
has
been
given
to
us.
We
are
called
to
please
one
person
that
is
the
Lord
Jesus
Christ
Yeshua,
Messiah,
King
of
kings
and
Lord
of
lords.
M
The
creator
of
all
that
is,
and
to
love
the
Lord
and
others
as
ourselves,
and
remember
these
words
of
Yeshua.
Therefore,
everyone
who
confesses
me
before
men
I
will
also
confess
before
my
father,
who
is
in
heaven,
but
whoever
denies
me
before
men
I
also
will
deny
him
before
my
father,
who
is
in
heaven
it's
our
actions
that
speak,
not
the
words
we
preach,
so
much
so
I
encourage
you
to
hold
fast
and
be
unmovable
and
unshakable
and
for
the
blessing
Lord
I.
M
M
They
also
do
no
one
righteousness,
they
walk
in
his
ways.
You
have
entertained
your
precepts
that
we
should
keep
them
diligently.
Oh,
that
our
ways
may
be
established
to
keep
your
statutes
that
we
shall
not
be
ashamed.
When
we
look
upon
all
your
Commandments,
we
shall
give
thanks
to
you
with
a
brightness
of
heart
when
we
learn
your
righteous
judgments
and
we
shall
keep
your
statutes
do
not
utterly
forsake
us
Lord.
M
M
O
O
I
would
like
to
encourage
you,
superintendent
Bergen,
along
with
each
School
Board
member,
to
promote
the
2023
Virginia
pro-life
day
among
teachers
in
Bedford.
County
I
would
also
encourage
parents
to
participate
with
their
children
in
this
important
event.
This
event
is
scheduled
for
Wednesday
February,
the
1st
2023.
It
is
an
all-day
event.
O
The
Virginia
pro-life
day
provides
a
rich
day
full
of
Civic
engagement
opportunities.
The
day
begins
at
the
Greater
Richmond
Convention
Center
for
Preparation
to
meet
with
legislators
and
continues
at
the
Virginia
state,
capitol
for
advocacy
and
the
March
for
Life
the
day
wraps
up
at
3
pm
with
an
hour
of
prayer
and
praise
in
one
day,
middle
schoolers
and
high
schoolers,
not
sitting
in
the
classroom
taking
in
book
knowledge,
but
they
have
an
opportunity
to
meet
with
their
state
senators
their
delegates.
O
They
have
an
opportunity
to
Lobby
in
Richmond
as
a
student,
they
can
attend
a
rally.
Join
a
peaceful
protest,
Gathering
lots
of
opportunities.
Imagine
the
benefit
of
spending
one
day
of
excused
absence
enrichment,
learning
skills,
understanding
and
experiencing
the
proper
way
to
appeal
to
an
elected
official,
not
to
mention
the
joy
of
coming
together
with
like-minded
citizens
to
affect
public
policy
for
good
now,
I
have
emailed
you
all
two
copies
or
two
different
flyers,
and
also
the
website
if
you'd
like
to
get
some
more
information.
E
E
E
C
E
A
Yes,
ma'am
for
those
that
are
just
coming
in
the
middle
of
this
presentation,
we
are
looking
at
a
very
first
early
look
on
projected
potential
revenue
from
the
governor's
proposed
budget
and
a
very
early
first
look
at
potential,
projected
expenditures
based
upon
feedback
from
the
school
board
and
from
many
constituents
who
the
Administration
has
consulted
as
we
prepare
our
budget
priorities
for
next
year.
So
the
governor's
proposed
budget
is
an
excellent
budget
for
public
education.
A
We
might
anticipate
an
increase
in
revenue
from
from
our
state
budget
of
upwards
of
5.6
million
dollars,
and
we
were
just
going
through
some
of
the
projected
potential
expenditures
of
how
we
might
spend
new
funding.
So
we
were
down
to
transfer
to
textbook
fund
early
this
evening
board
in
the
in
the
quarterly
analysis
that
Mr
Hagler
was
sharing
with
you.
We
do
have
a
textbook
fund.
A
We
contribute
from
the
operating
budget
each
year
towards
that
textbook
fund,
so
we're
building
up
towards
large
adoptions,
and
it
has
an
appropriate
bounce
at
this
time
to
help
with
the
next
adoption
down
the
line.
So
we
traditionally
have
been
putting
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
towards
that
textbook
fund.
That's
what
you'll
see
at
that
revenue
of
a
decrease
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
would
be
a
transfer
to
the
textbook
fund.
A
The
next
item-
Mr
Hagler,
also
mentioned
in
the
quarterly
analysis
that
fuels
up
anyone
that's
been
to
the
gas
station
knows
that
fuel
costs
more.
We
have
been
fortunate,
we've
been
under
a
contract
for
the
better
part
of
the
last
year.
The
contract
came
to
an
end
and
at
this
point,
we're
paying
the
we're
joining
on
the
state
contract
and
paying
a
rack
price,
so
we're
paying
a
lot
more
in
fuel
now
than
we
had
been
when
we
were
under
contract.
A
A
The
next
line
item
you'll
see,
is
a
a
cancellation
out
of
Revenue
in
and
revenue
out
on,
a
DEQ
electric
bus.
Mr
Hager
could
address
further
questions
about
that
for
any
board
members
to
have
a
specific
question
about
that.
We
have
some
technical
adjustments.
Mr
Hagler
will
complete
each
year
as
we
close
out
one
budget
year
and
go
into
the
next
and
true
up
salaries
and
look
at
you
know
what
we
budgeted
and
what
our
actual
expenses
were
as
were
as
we're
looking
forward.
A
A
Lastly,
it's
we're
not
yet
have
an
estimate
available
on
bus
lease,
so
that
is
again
I'm
just
going
to
caution
a
first
look.
We
don't
know
what
the
house
or
the
Senate
version
of
the
proposed
budget
will
be,
but
we'll
certainly
bring
more
information
to
the
board
as
we
receive
it
first
through
the
budget
finance
committee
and
then
in
board
meetings
over
the
coming
months.
We
have
a
schedule
for
for
doing
so
over
the
next
three
to
four
months
that
that
would
conclude
this
report.
E
H
Yes
from
the
forecast,
I
I'd
Place,
some
supplemental
or
recommended
supplemental
Appropriations,
where
we
would
budget
more
revenue
and
expenditures.
This
is
for
information
tonight,
come
back
for
Action
at
the
next
board
meeting,
and
then
it
goes
over
to
the
Board
of
Supervisors
for
their
approval.
There
are
supplemental
Appropriations
and
there's
one
reappropriation,
so
I'll
walk
through
each
one
of
those
very
quickly
here.
So
you
know
what
the
grants
or
what
we're
doing
on
these,
the
first
one
175
000,
State
security
Grant,
was
awarded
to
us.
H
There's
matching
funds
required
with
that,
and
so
those
dollars
are
really
for
badge
access
for
some
camera
hardware
and
some
some
radio
communications
at
several
schools.
So
we're
moving
forward
with
that.
The
state
will
be
sending
us
money
through
a
reimbursement
process.
So
we
need
to
budget
that
Revenue
in
so
we
can
move
forward
with
that.
So
that's
the
first
one
on
the
supplemental.
Any
questions
on
that
one.
Yes,.
H
Included
badge
access
is
Dan,
River,
High,
School,
Liberty,
High
School.
The
cameras
are
at
five
elementaries
I,
don't
have
those
specifically
this
evening.
I
can
pass
that
on,
but
the
cameras
are
Hardware
is
at
five
elementaries
and
radio
communications
at
Liberty
High
School.
To
enhance
the
communications
with
radio
communications.
There.
H
The
next
one
is
174
000
Central
Virginia
computer
science,
integration,
team
cvcsi.
So
it's
a
mouthful.
This
was
a
grant
that
several
localities
with
us
went
in
together
on.
So
we
are
the
Fiscal
Agent
for
this
we'll
be
receiving
all
those
funds,
but
some
of
those
funds
will
flow
back
out
to
the
surrounding
districts,
which
include
Campbell,
Lynchburg,
Appomattox
and
also
I.
Think
that
might
be
it,
but
there
might
be
one
more.
This
is
primarily
for
teacher
training.
H
There
will
be
some
stipends
for
them
to
go
to
classes
and
get
additional
training
and
regarding
computer
science.
So
that's
how
these
funds
will
be
used
once
again,
not
all
the
174s
for
us
some
will
be
going
out
to
the
other.
One
is
Amherst.
Forgive
me
some
of
that
funds
will
come
to
us
and
we
have
to
send
it
back
out
to
them
so
pleased
to
announce
that
we
went
after
that
Grant
and
we're
awarded
that
the
the
next
one
is
thirty
thousand
dollar
State
recruitment
and
retention
support
funding.
H
This
is
primarily
going
to
be
used
for
some
stipends,
but
primarily
professional
development.
This
is
really
paying
for
we'll
help
pay
teachers
back
for
going
and
seeking
additional
credentials
for
classes,
so
they
will
have
to
finish
those
classes,
seek
reimbursement
from
us
and
then
we'll
pay
them
and
then
get
reimbursed
from
the
state
on
this.
So
that's
a
thirty
thousand
dollar
Grant.
H
The
next
one
is
108
thousand
dollars
for
health
Workforce
funding.
This
is
primarily
for
our
nurses,
for
some
training,
some
supplies
and
also
stipends
for
our
nurses.
Through
this
grant,
nurses
that
are
under
contract
with
with
us
will
receive
a
2500
stipend
bonus
through
this
grant.
That's
How,
It,
Was
Written
and
then
also
we're
going
to
be
spending
some
of
this
money
on
supplies
and
training.
Also
so.
H
The
next
is
really
what
I
spoke
to
earlier
is
budgeting
in
and
actually
doing
a
supplemental
appropriation
really
for
sales
tax
as
it
is
coming
in
higher.
We
do
need
that
that
those
funds
to
kind
of
look
at
different
categories
in
our
operating
fund,
to
kind
of
sure
those
up
and
there's
money
going
into
a
lot
of
different
categories
here:
Transportation
maintenance,
Administration
and
also
I
thought
there
was
some
I
might
have
a
typo
there
from
some
for
technology,
so
this
is
kind
of
putting
some
money
aside
and
the
technology.
H
It's
really
some
matching
funds
that
are
required:
maintenance
with
that
State
security,
Grant,
there's
also
matching
funds.
So
that's
under
the
maintenance.
We
need
a
little
bit
more
money
to
make
that
whole
and
also
for
fuel.
So
this
is
budgeting.
Some
of
the
sales
tax
that's
going
to
come
in
and
putting
it
into
different
categories
and
I
spoke
to
that
a
little
bit
earlier.
Any
questions
on
that
one.
Yes,
sir,.
H
Let
me
look
at
that.
One
real,
quick
I
believe
that's
primarily
we're
seeing
under
when
I
do
technical
adjustments
and
I
look
at
the
actual
care
compared
to
budget
under
Administration
is
psychologists
and
nurses.
Some
of
those
salaries
were
coming
in
a
little
bit
higher
than
I
had
budgeted.
So
when
I
set
the
budget
last
year,
I
usually
use
a
December
mid-year
to
set
the
following
year,
budget
and
trip
to
actual
I
believe
what
might
have
happened
there.
H
There
were
some
vacancies
that
I
missed,
and
so
the
budget
wasn't
set
high
enough.
There's
no
additional
positions
there,
but
mainly
under
psychologists.
That
line
was
budgeted
too
low
for
what
we're
actually
experiencing,
and
that
was
due
primarily
to
a
vacancy
and
that
I
had
not
set
that
high
enough.
A
If
I,
just
piggyback
on
that,
we
were
struggling
as
everyone
was
to
keep
our
nursing
fully
staffed
in
the
years
of
the
pandemic.
We
are
today
fully
staffed.
Every
school
has
a
nurse
and
we
have
a
floater
nurse.
So
if
a
nurse
is
out
on
a
on
a
planned
day
or
an
illness,
we
have
a
floater
to
go
and
we
have
a
substitute.
It's
just
amazing,
so
struggling
to
keep
nurses
yeah.
It
was
hard
to
find
them.
Marcus
there's!
A
You
know
they
could
work
anywhere,
so
it's
competitive
field
so
to
be
fully
staffed,
with
nurses
across
all
of
our
schools.
We're
now
fully
staffed
it's
first
time
in
a
while
we've
been
fully
staffed,
I
think
that
goes
to
somewhat
Mr.
Harry
was
just
saying:
when
we
were
budgeting
into
this
year,
we
had
we
were
struggling
to
to
keep
vacancies
up,
so
we
weren't
paying
out
all
of
the
salaries,
because
we
couldn't
find
all
the
people.
H
And
just
for
clarity,
I
mean
some
people
when
you,
when
you
look
at
Administration,
people
have
different
things
that
they
think
about.
Most
of
the
central
office
administration
is
under
the
instructional
category.
All
the
supervisors,
directors
that
oversee
special
education
what's
under
Administration,
is
really
the
office
of
the
superintendent,
the
school
board,
Finance
HR,
psychologists
and
nurses.
So
that's
what
sits
under
Administration
and
that's
the
accounting
code,
how
the
state
asks
us
to
report
it
and
to
designate
it
throughout,
and
so
we
follow
the
state
guidance
on
how
that
is
so.
H
I
would
say
you
know
when
you
think
about
central
office.
Most
of
that
is
under
instruction
and
what
we're
providing
out
to
schools
so
HR,
Finance,
psychologists,
nurses,
You,
could
argue
that
psychologists
and
nurses
and
we're
delivering
Support
Services
to
kids.
Those
aren't
really
belong
there,
but
that's
how
the
state
kind
of
sets
up
their
code.
E
H
C
H
H
And
the
final
one
is
a
reappropriation.
This
is
I
spoke
to
this
earlier.
Our
ending
balance
for
FY
22
June
30th
2022
was
2
117
949.33.
It's
my
recommendation
to
the
board
that
that
money.
We
request
that
the
Board
of
Supervisors
reappropriate
that
money
to
the
school
maintenance
Reserve
fund
for
CIP
projects.
H
H
A
Yes,
ma'am
Mr
blanks,
if
you
have
the
click
very
good.
Thank
you
so
I'm
going
to
tag
team
with
Mr
Blankenship
on
tonight's
presentation,
the
purpose
of
which
is
to
review
school
capacity
concerns
with
the
elementary
schools
in
the
four
Zone
and
to
discuss
some
possible
options
which
the
Administration
has
developed
in
consultation
and
conversation
with
the
facilities
committee.
We
just
had
a
meeting
just
a
couple
days
ago
with
the
facilities
committee,
so
we
are
proposing
some
options
that
we
could
address
the
concerns
with
the
school
capacity
issues.
A
I
want
to
emphasize
that
tonight
the
board
is
not
being
asked
to
take
any
action
only
to
receive
this
information
and
that
next
week,
a
week
from
now
there's
a
special
called
meeting
on
the
19th
of
January
to
be
held
at
Jefferson
Forest
High
School.
At
that
time,
the
board
is
scheduled
to
receive
public
comment
about
the
possibility
of
adjusting
the
boundary
lines
for
the
elementary
schools
in
the
force
Zone.
A
By
way
of
reminder,
the
board
has
also
already
received
comments
in
written
form
from
Individual
citizens
that
were
collected
via
a
link
provided
through
the
school
divisions
website
on
this
matter.
Should
the
board
wish
to
act
on
any
of
the
options
that
are
being
presented
this
evening?
It
suggested
that
you
would
do
so
a
month
from
now
which
you're
regularly
scheduled
February
9th
school
board
meeting
so
just
to
Anchor
this
presentation.
This
is
a
map
that
I
previously
shared
with
the
school
board
at
our
joint
meeting
with
the
Board
of
Supervisors
this
past
October.
A
Conversely,
if
I
draw,
if
your
eye
is
drawn
to
the
green
over
that
same
time
frame,
there
has
been
double
digit
increases
in
population
throughout
that
area
of
the
county
and,
if
you've
ever
driven
through
there.
You
know
it
looks
more
and
more
very
urbanized
in
that
part
of
the
county
as
you're
going
to
hear
in
more
detail
tonight
from
Mr
Blankenship
as
as
part
of
his
comments
in
tonight's
presentation.
A
The
first
option
is
listed.
There
on
the
screen
would
be
full
implementation
of
a
redistricting
plan.
This
plan
was
previously
shared
with
the
board
a
full
six
months
ago
at
the
July
14
school
board
meeting.
It
was
also
shared
in
its
entirety
with
the
community
at
two
public
information
sessions
which
were
held
on
August
17th
and
on
August
18th
at
Jefferson,
Forest,
High
School
and
at
Otto
River
Elementary
respectively.
A
If
adopted,
option
number
one
on
the
screen.
The
redistricting
plan
would
impact
approximately
160
students,
which
is
it's
roughly
two
percent
of
our
overall
population
in
the
school
division
of
those
160
students
about
two-thirds
of
those
students
would
be
reassigned
out
of
forest
elementary
or
New
London
into
one
of
the
other
elementary
schools
in
the
four
Zone,
which
then
would
mean
no
change
in
their
middle
school
or
High
School
feeder
pattern.
A
The
remaining
third
of
those
160
students
were
approximately
50.
Students
would
be
reassigned
out
of
otter
River
to
go
west
to
either,
depending
on
their
age,
Bedford,
primary
or
Bedford
Elementary
or
depending
on
where
they
they
lived
in
proximity
to
Big
Island,
Elementary
School,
those
50
students
being
relocated
to
those
to
the
Liberty
Zone
would
then
matriculate
to
Liberty
Middle
and
Liberty
High
School
as
a
side
note
under
option.
A
One
full
implementation
of
the
redistricting
plan
would
would
then
create
otter
River
to
be
exclusively
in
the
forest
Zone,
whereas
currently
students,
when
they
leave
fifth
grade
to
go
to
sixth
grade
they're
they're
split
between
forest
and
Liberty
zones.
Second
option
is
much
like
the
first
one,
except
it's
just
a
partial
implementation
of
the
redistricting
plan.
So
rather
than
redistrict
160
students,
it
would
redistrict
approximately
100
students
from
either
forest
or
New
London
again,
but
exclusively
to
either
Thomas
Jefferson
or
to
Otter
River.
A
A
The
boundary
adjustment,
the
boundary
adjustments
with
this
partial
implementation
again
would
not
involve
any
change
in
the
middle
school
or
High
School
feeder
pattern
for
these
students,
meaning
they
would
change
their
Elementary
feeder
pattern,
but
they
would
continue
to
be
in
the
forest,
middle
and
Jefferson
Forest,
High
School
feeder
pattern.
However,
that
would
mean
otter.
River
would
continue
to
be
split
with
some
students
going
to
force
and
some
students
going
to
Liberty.
Essentially,
we
wouldn't
be
moving
anyone
out
of
the
auto
River
Zone.
We
would
just
be
bringing
more
students
into
the
outer
River
Zone.
A
A
third
option
would
be
not
to
make
any
of
those
adjustments
in
School
boundaries
and
instead
consider
addressing
the
capacity
concerns
within
forced
Elementary
and
New
London
academy
by
adding
modulars
or
learning
Cottages
to
those
campuses.
As
the
need
is
demonstrated.
This
would
create
additional
classroom,
space,
Mr,
Hagler
and
I.
You
know
looked
at
the
market
today
to
see
if
we
were
to
go
out
and
purchase
a
modular
today,
it
would
be
at
a
cost
of
165
000
for
one
modular.
A
In
addition,
there
would
be
a
one-time,
35
000
acquisition
fee
for
delivery
and
setup.
We
also
looked
at
the
cost
of
leasing
modulars.
The
least
cost
of
a
modular
is
twenty
two
hundred
dollars
a
month
or
approximately
twenty
six
thousand
dollars
a
year.
In
addition
to
the
lease
there
would
be
Associated
infrastructure
costs
of
approximately
one
time
of
approximately
ten
thousand
dollars,
because
we
would
need
to
install
walkways
and
awnings
and
utility
hookups
for
those
police
buildings
and
or
from
potentially
acquiring
modulars.
A
We
could
look
at
the
programs
that
are
offered
within
those
two
schools
where
we
have
the
concerns,
particularly
At
Otter
river,
which
currently
has
three
preschool
programs
about
half
those
kids
who
attend.
Those
preschool
programs
would
matriculate
to
kindergarten
through
fifth
grade
and
not
a
river,
so
that's
their
feeder
school,
but
their
Auto
river
is
also
providing
preschool
opportunities
for
children
in
the
other
surrounding
Elementary
zones.
So
we
could
consider
relocating
the
preschool
programs
out
of
I
I
set
out
of
our
website.
A
New
London
is
what
I
meant
to
say
three
preschool
programs
within
New
London
and
we
could
relocate
them
to
either
Thomas
Jefferson
or
Ottawa.
River,
where
they
have
space
to
absorb
those
children
that
would
free
up
some
classroom
space
for
students
in
grades
K5
in
otter
River.
It
should
be
noted
that
that
would
not
be
an
option
for
Forest
Elementary
School
to
provide
relief,
because
there
are
currently
no
preschool
programs
in
force
to
free
up
classroom
space.
A
So
those
are
the
three.
You
know
overarching
options
for
consideration
and
discussion.
Again.
We've
reviewed
the
option,
one,
the
full
implementation,
with
the
full
board
before
the
community
has
seen
it
it's
been
on
our
website,
but
it
is
before
us
again
and
so
I'm
I'm,
going
to
ask
Mr
Blankenship
to
take
over
the
presentation
at
this
point
and
he's
going
to
take
you
through
how
many
students
would
come
out
of
each
school
and
where
would
they
go
under
a
full
implementation
but
before
I
turn
it
over?
Is
there
a
question?
Dr
mealy.
G
G
A
A
Do
you
need
three
of
a
grade
level
or
four
of
a
grade
level
if
the
numbers
that
difference
broke
evenly
across
all
the
grade
levels,
it
probably
wouldn't
be
a
concern,
but
if
they
all
came
in
at
one
grade
level
or
two
grade
levels
and
created
a
need
for
additional
classroom
space,
it's
much
more
complex.
Well,.
G
A
L
L
L
So
so
before
I
get
into
the
details.
I
want
to
go
back
and
recap
this.
This
is
what
was
presented
in
December.
This
is
our
projected
enrollment,
both
K
through
12
and
pre-k
through
12,
and
you
can
see
there
that
we
are
projecting
to
be
at
about
75
percent
capacity
as
a
division
and
77.
If
you
include
Pre-K,
however,
the
three
schools
that
we
look
and
we're
looking
at
here,
Boonsboro
forest
and
New
London-
are
all
at
85
or
higher
Boonsboro.
L
L
L
There
is
a
development
that
is
a
department
development
that
is
very
similar
to
the
Westin,
actually,
the
same
developer,
same
design
that
has
168
units
in
that
in
that
development,
and
we
actually
went
in
and
looked
at
how
many
kids
we
get
we're
getting
out
of
that
development.
If
you
take
our
multiplier
of
0.13
and
multiply
that
by
by
168
Apartments,
it
comes
out
to
21.84
all
right,
so
roughly
22
students,
we
actually
looked
at
how
many
we
had
coming
out
of
those
apartments.
L
We
have
21
students
coming
out
of
the
department,
so
we
feel
like
our
multiplier.
What
our
projections
are
are
pretty
pretty
solid
and
if
you
look
at
Forest
Elementary
in
particular
on
this
slide,
you'll
see
there
that,
between
that
at
Weston,
Village
Development
Farmington
Apartments
another
one
Corporate
Park,
which
is
I'll,
show
you
on
the
map
in
just
a
second
we're.
Projecting
I
think
it's
51
students
to
come
out
of
that.
L
Those
developments
when
they're
when
they're
fully
built
out,
if
you
add
that
51
to
what
we're
projecting
for
Forest
Elementary
at
346
that
comes
out
to
be
397,
which
is
at
about
102
capacity.
So
we're
looking
at
once.
This
development
is
in
place,
which
some
of
it
I
will
be
honest
with
you,
I
drove
through
the
Western
Village
Development.
There
are
people
already
living
in
the
Condominiums
and
one
of
the
apartment
buildings
is
now
being
leased.
There
are
cars,
and
the
people
living
in
those
and
the
other
ones
are
very
shortly
going
to
be
completed.
L
So
Forest
Elementary
is
probably
in
one
of
the
in
more
rapidly
advancing
in
terms
of
this
development,
so
that
just
is
a
to
show
you.
The
map
on
this
slide,
you'll,
see
the
little
red
dot
or
pointer,
and
that
is
Forest.
Elementary
School
across
the
road
you'll
see
those
white
rectangular
buildings,
that's
Jefferson,
Forest,
High
School.
All
that
cleared
land
in
between
those
two
is
now
an
apartment,
complex
with
condo
complex,
and
that
is
by
actually
right
across
the
road
from
Forest
Middle
School
as
well.
L
But
this
was
a
slide
that
I
got
off
Google
Maps
and
it
is
no
longer
accurate
because
that
is
all
built
up
now
over
in
that
green
area
at
the
far
right
of
the
map.
That's
where
that
Corporate
Park
Townhomes
is
going
to
go
in
there's
a
lot
of
Green
Space
over
there.
That
may
or
may
not
be
developed,
and,
of
course,
if
you
haven't
driven
it,
if
you
go
on
down
Parable
Road,
you
run
into
Farmington
and
the
apartments
and
the
development
there,
which
is
huge.
L
So
that
area
is
just
booming
and
we
know
that
there's
more
coming
soon.
This
next
slide
is
the
map
of
the
New
London
area
and,
once
again,
the
little
red
pointer
is
the
New
London
Elementary.
Our
academy
I
just
wanted
to
show
you
that
right
across
the
road
there,
if
you
go
down
New
London
Road,
there's
some
plowed
Fields
there
and
then
a
lot
of
Green
Space
off
to
the
west
or
right
behind
that.
That
is
where
those
towns
of
New
London
development
Condominiums
will
be
coming
in,
and
that
is
in
very
close
proximity.
L
L
Now
this
map
is
the
original
proposed,
which
we
would
call
option.
One
this
map
is
posted
on
our
website
that
you
can
get
in
our
public
can
go
in
through
a
link
and
look
at
the
shaded
areas
or
just
look
at
wherever
they
want
to
in
the
map
you
can
zoom
in
you
can
zoom
out,
you
can
look
at
roads,
but
this
area
is
what
we
originally
proposed.
Now
I
just
wanted
to
go
over
this
real,
quick.
L
L
Some
of
those
students
would
be
coming
out
of
Otto
River
and
some
would
be
coming
out
of
Forest
Elementary.
The
next
would
be
the
light
blue
area.
Those
students
would
be
redistricted
to
go
to
attend
otter,
River.
Those
would
come
out
of
New
London
and
a
few
out
of
forest
elementary
school
and
then
the
pink
is
a
very
small
sliver,
but
that
would
be
redistricted
to
Boonsboro
from
from
the
Forest
Elementary
Zone
very
few.
There
then
I'll
go
on
to
the
right
side
of
the
map
and
the
what
I'll
call
mint
green.
L
L
The
table
here
shows
you
actually
how
many
students
we
are
one
projecting
for
next
school
year
without
any
changes.
That's
our
projections
for
how
many
students
would
be
at
these
schools
their
capacity
in
the
next
column,
and
then
we
talk
about
how
many
students
we
would
be
moving
in
or
out
of
each
school.
L
L
So
the
next
slide
is
one
that
we
are
using
our
projections
for
grade
by
grade
that
we
also
presented
in
December.
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
option
one
for
redistricting
consideration
would
be
if
we
had
no
change
to
these
schools.
That's
what
we
would
expect
in
each
grade
level
and
as
a
total,
and
if
we
pulled
you
know,
did
the
redistricting
and
everyone
moved,
not
partial.
L
But
if
everyone
moved
then
we
would
see
this
change
in
the
grade
by
grade
totals
for
students,
and
you
can
see
that
I've
included
a
column
there
for
change,
that's
either
adding
students
or
taking
away
students
and
then,
at
the
end,
the
last
column.
You
would
see
what
a
difference
it
would
make
in
the
capacity
just
based
on
the
the
listed
capacity
and
how
many
students
we'd
be
putting
in
there.
L
L
Now
we
would
use
space
at
Thomas
Jefferson,
adding
those
students
would
bring
Thomas
Jefferson
up
to
about
85
percent
capacity,
and
we
tried
to
do
this
so
that
possibly
you
could
see
what
it
would
look
like
grade
by
grade
that
may
or
may
not,
and
it
may
or
may
not
help
the
Staffing
in
these
schools
now
on
a
river
with
this
option
does
not
change
that
much
because
we're
taking
out
just
about
as
many
students
as
we're
adding
in
I
think
they
only
had
three
plus.
So
it's
really
about
70
71
72
percent
capacity.
L
In
this
option
this
is
option
two,
and
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
really
no
movement
into
a
different
graduation
zone,
so
option
two.
You
can
see
that
Bedford
Elementary,
both
primary
big
island
and
Boonsboro,
would
basically
not
be
included.
They
would
they
would
receive.
No
students
from
these
other
schools
and
they
would
stay
where
they
are
in
their
projections.
L
Now
the
four
schools
that
would
be
affected
in
the
option
two
would
be:
Forest,
Elementary,
New,
London,
otter,
River
and
Thomas
Jefferson,
and
you
can
see
there.
If
you
know
the
numbers
are
a
little
bit
different
because
we
we
did
not.
We
only
moved
students
out
of
forest
elementary
into
Thomas
Jefferson,
so
we
didn't
take
those
those
other
students
that
we
had
proposed
in
option,
one
to
go
to
Boonsboro
Auto,
River
and
Big
Island.
We
didn't
move
those
students
in
this
option,
so
they
stay
at
Forest.
L
Elementary
New
London
is
pretty
much
the
same
as
option
one.
We
would
take
students
from
New
London
and
send
some
to
Thomas
Jefferson
the
24
and
some
to
Otter
River
on
a
river
would
not
lose
any
students
because
we
talked
about
earlier.
We
would
not
send
any
students
from
on
a
river
to
the
Liberty
Zone
to
Bedford
Elementary
Bedford
primary,
but
they
would
gain
students
from
New
London,
so
that
would
boost
their
projection.
L
Total
up
to
217
students,
you
can
see
there
Thomas
Jefferson
would
would
go
from
projected
a
480
to
549
after
receiving
69
students,
I
believe
from
the
two
schools
Forest
Elementary
in
New
London.
So
in
this
one,
no
one
would
change
a
graduation
Zone
and
possibly
in
this
next
slide,
you
can
see
that
possibly
the
Staffing
may
be
a
little
bit
easier
at
otter,
River.
L
The
class
size
is
there,
for
instance,
I'll
just
use
second
grade
project
it
to
be
if
with
no
changes
at
27
students
in
that
grade
level,
if
we
move
to
students
in
from
on
a
river
that
would
boost
it
to
35
and
they
would
gain
32
overall
students
and
their
their
capacity
would
jump
from
71
or
percent
capacity
to
83
percent.
I.
L
So,
just
some
additional
notes
on
the
considerations
on
the
plan
we
talked
about
this
earlier
when
we
first
started
developing
this,
but
implementation
for
the
fall
of
23.
I
think
some
some
questions
came
up
over.
Can
it
be
done
in
that
time
frame,
just
our
our
usual
window
for
Zone
transfers
is
March
1
through
July
1st,
so
we
are
obviously
in
in
line
for
that.
L
We
could
start
the
Zone
transfer
process
following
the
school
board
policy
on
Zone
transfers,
which
is
jcd,
and
it
does
allow
exceptions
for
students
who
are
currently
in
a
school
to
continue
attending
that
school
through
the
sequence
of
grades
offered.
So
they
could
request
a
Zone
transfer
stay
at
their
school
and
the
the
big
thing
there
is
they
would
provide
their
own
transportation.
Okay,
so
we
would
be
you
know,
accepting
those
starting
March
1st
bus
routes,
for
these
would
have
to
be
changed.
L
I
will
tell
you
that
in
the
development
of
these
options
are
these
considerations.
We
pretty
much
just
took
a
bus
route
out
of
one
school
and
moved
it
over
to
the
other
school.
Now
it
could
change
in
terms
of
Rider
time.
On
the
bus,
depending
on,
if
you
get
on
first,
you
know
you
may
have
gotten
on
last
before
now
you
might
get
on
First
and
so
that
bus
could
change
the
route,
but
we
did
want
to
wait
until
you
know.
L
If
this
was
approved
or
put
into
place,
we
would
make
sure
we
got
those
bus
routes
and
publish
those
prior
to
the
opening
of
school
as
early
as
possible.
We
put
August
23
on
here,
but
I'm
hoping
that
would
be
earlier.
If
we,
if
we
were
to
implement
this
and
then
the
other
thing
that
I
think
would
be
a
good
idea
would
be.
We
know
some
students
are
going
to
take
us
up
if
we
do
this
on
staying
and
providing
their
own
transportation.
L
L
A
Yeah
Mr
Blankenship
think
the
committee
also
discussed.
It
would
also
apply
to
siblings,
who
aren't
even
in
school.
Yet
so,
if
you
have
a
first
grader
or
fourth
grader
and
you've
got
a
two-year-old
and
they're
three
years
away,
this
grandfathering
would
apply
to
the
family.
As
long
as
they're
resident
residency
didn't
change.
A
You
sell
the
house
new
family
moves
in,
you,
don't
pass
off
the
grandfather
and
it
stays
with
the
family.
So
if
we
just,
we
won't
know
unless
we
adopt
it,
we
just
won't
know
how
many
families
would
accept
the
redistricting.
Some
will
some
won't,
but
it
would
provide
some
relief,
particularly
in
those
two
schools
that
are
most
concerning
to
us
they're.
Concerning
today,
I
mean
we
have
a
lot
of
kids
in
those
two
buildings
today
and
you
saw
in
those
Maps.
A
The
housing
is
coming
in
the
coming
years,
and
so
we'll
need
to
do
something
through
these
all
these
options.
Some
mortgage
board,
perhaps
of
all
the
above
and
the
no
Zone
transfer
request
listed,
would
be,
of
course,
and
unless
your
grandfather,
then
you
would
be
able
to
have
a
Zone
transfer,
Miss
Hairston.
Thank.
R
You
Dr
Bergen
and
Mr
Blankenship
as
well.
One
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
just
share
with
board
members
is
that
Dr
Bergen
had
mentioned
New
London
Academy
and
the
committee
had
talked
about
the
possibility
of
us
considering
the
preschool
program.
Looking
at
perhaps
maybe
making
some
changes
there
to
address
those
issues.
Their
capacity
issues
at
New,
London
I,
would
ask
Dr
Bergen.
R
R
From
the
community
as
well,
it's
it's
a
difficult
decision.
I
I
know
that
last
December,
when
we
had
our
board
meeting
Mr
Blankenship,
had
shared
with
us
information
regarding
enrollment
and
the
decline
in
just
our
enrollment
and
within
the
10-year
span,
and
so
that
certainly
I,
think
is
a
factor
that
we
all
have
to.
Consider
too
is:
where
is
the
growth
and
according
to
the
data
that
was
shared
with
us
and
again,
it
was
all
just
projected
here.
R
It
does
appear
that
there's
going
to
be
potentially
a
decline
in
Bedford
County
in
our
enrollment.
Now
that
certainly
doesn't
mean
that
in
the
forest
area
that
growth
will
not
occur,
there
I
think
it's
pretty
apparent
that
there
is
growth
that
will
take
place
in
the
forest
area,
and
so
that's
something
as
a
board.
We
have
to
consider
as
well.
D
Okay
I
know
previously,
when
we
saw
reports
it
showed
you
know,
over
capacity
at
certain
schools
and
now,
when
I'm.
Looking
at
this
data,
really
based
on
your
projections
for
next
year,
we're
sitting
at
a
hundred
percent
only
at
one
school
and
that's
New,
London,
and
keep
me
honest
here,
because
I
want
to
make
sure
I'm
following
so
really
we're
having
discussions,
and
we
should
be
having
these
discussions.
D
D
0.13,
okay,
so
I
mean
could
that
change
the
following
year?
Yes,
but
to
me
and
again,
I'm
not
saying
yes
or
no
I'm,
just
trying
to
put
because
I
I
mean
we're
talking.
Forest
zone
is
what
we're
impacting
101
students
at
a
minimum,
we're
not
adding
any
students
to
any
other
high
school
zone.
So
all
we're
doing
is
literally
shifting
these
kids
say
from
Forest
Elementary
to
Thomas
Jefferson,
both
great
schools
but
were
impacting
those
kids.
It
sounds
simple
to
us
to
move
them
from
one
place
to
another.
D
Yes,
in
most
cases,
Forest
kids
are
dropped
off
in
a
car,
but
there
are
families
who
are
going
to
now
have
to
provide
that
transportation
and,
frankly,
right
now
is
not
a
good
time
to
be
adding
to
the
bottom
line.
Budget
of
families
and
again
I'm,
not
saying
yes
or
no
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
thinking
through
this
clearly
to
say:
hey.
We
need
to
go
do
this
now,
if
we
could
say
out
of
those
and
believe
me,
I
drive
it
every
day.
D
I
mean
I'm
in
that
traffic
this
morning,
I
was
in
that
traffic
of
these
new
town
homes.
But
if
you
can
tell
me
how
many
kids
are
going
to
be
impacted-
and
it
puts
me
over
100
at
Forest
Elementary,
that's
an
alarm
for
me,
but
basically
all
we're
doing
is
we're
going
to
shift
more
kids
out
of
forest
elementary
to
TJ,
causing
A
disruption
to
those
kids
and
I'm,
not
promised
I'm
even
going
to
get
to
a
certain
percentage
back
at
Forest
Elementary.
D
So
why
am
I
moving
those
kids
and
again
I'm
not
taken
away
from
the
fact
that
we're
looking
at
it
and
understanding
the
data?
It
just
seems
to
me
that
we're
just
we're
playing
musical
chairs
with
our
kids
and
I.
Don't
I,
just
don't
know
that
right.
Now
is
the
right
time
to
do
it.
If
you
guys
feel
strongly
about
I
mean
that.
K
K
You
know,
I,
you
know,
I
I,
don't
think
that
the
the
students
are
being
affected
by
it
being
at
100.
Now
you
know,
there's
no
learning
loss
that
I'm,
aware
of
and
maybe
I'm
wrong,
but
you
know
I
think
you
know
if
it
became
a
bigger
issue
where
you
know
I
know
they're
at
they're
at
capacity,
but
that
may
be
just
for
a
year
or
two
or
three
and
then
it's
back
down.
You
know
like.
D
What
is
this
impact
for
your
kids
and
you
know,
make
sure
you
attend
next
week,
so
we
hear
from
you
and
we
have
a
clear
understanding
of
what
you
want
us
to
do
now
again,
if
we
were
at
110
percent,
we'd
have
to
take
some
action,
but
it's
not
like.
We
don't
have
room
at
these
schools
at
this
point
so
which.
R
Is
why
Mr
Hill?
The
committee
decided
that
we
needed
to
bring
before
you
guys
more
more
areas
for
you
to
consider?
Look
at
some
other
options
here,
I
think
for
me
just
knowing
the
data
that
was
given
to
us
that
there
will
be
a
decline
again.
This
is
just
projected
I
I
realize
that,
but
that's
what
we
have
to
go
on,
that
there
will
be
a
decline
in
the
overall
enrollment
in
the
next
18
years.
R
R
D
G
Let's
fix
what
needs
to
be
fixed
and
let's
see
what
kids
show
up
you
know,
sometimes
kids
don't
show
up
and
that
you
know
actually
I'm
kind
of
a
little
afraid.
I'll
eat
my
words,
because
your
data
is
always
so
good,
Mr
plankinship
so
but
I
just
think
we
we
should
wait
for
them
to
show
up
and
and
see
what
we
need
to
do
before.
We
disrupt
families
and
kids,
but
we
do
I
agree
with
Georgia.
We
do
need
to
address
New
London
I
mean
that
is.
G
That
is
an
issue
and
the
the
preschool
is
a
consideration.
I
think
we
should
give
thought
to.
You
have
a
right
to.
You
know
to
the
preschool
you,
but
you
don't
necessarily
have
a
right
to
it
in
perhaps
your
Zone
at
Stewartsville
I
had
kids
from
Monita
Goodview
every
you
know
different
places,
so
I
just
think
we
do.
We
do
need
to
do
this
because
it's
just
going
to
impact
families
negatively
I,
don't
see
how
this
is
especially
the
kids.
You
know
parents
will
will
do
better
than
the
kids
will
do.
F
I
mean
I'll,
just
Echo,
that
I
mean
I
think
right
now
our
main
priority
is
to
fix
the
the
case
at
New.
London
I've
heard
a
lot
from
the
families
that
are
going
to
be
impacted
by
this,
and
it's
not
good
I
mean
some
families,
like
you
said
they
can't
afford
the
transportation
to
take
their
kids
to
school.
So
I
think
our
main
focus
right
now
needs
to
be
on
New
London
Academy.
Let's
get
it
fixed
and
then,
like
you
said,
let's
wait
on
the
actual
numbers
to
come
in.
J
G
E
Well,
I'm
gonna
be
the
devil's
advocate
here
and
and
I'm
glad
to
hear
everyone
else
speak
negatively
about
modulars,
because
I
thought
my
gosh
I
really
have
been
here
forever
and
watching
things
come
full
circle
because
I
remember
sitting
here
and
listening
to
parents
wanting
to
get
rid
of
those
modulars
and
they
were
talking
about
bringing
them
back.
There's
no
way
that
that
can
happen.
E
L
L
L
E
E
I,
like
the
fact
that
the
first
plan
would
bring
50
more
families
to
the
Liberty
Zone,
which
is
well
needed
and
I
said
a
statement
early
on
when
this
was
first
presented
and
I
will
stick
by
that
statement.
That
I
honestly
don't
think
that
the
initial
redistricting
plan
goes
deep
enough.
We
need
to
fill
up
the
Halls
at
Liberty
and
I
I.
Think
it's
just
a
crime.
E
K
I'd
just
like
to
say
I
believe
that's
I,
believe
the
opposite
of
that.
The
people
that
live
in
these
zones
in
Liberty
and
standard
represents
don't
like
the
growth.
Obviously
that's
where
that's
why
they
live
there
and-
and
you
know
I
can
just
like
say
I'm
speaking
for
myself,
my
opinions
I,
don't
think
there'll
ever
be.
K
E
D
L
And
New
London
has
been
pretty
much
steady
at
that
that
capacity
for
a
number
of
years
there's
a
lot
of
growth
in
that
area,
and
just
we
just
wanted
to
bring
to
your
attention
this.
This
new
growth
that
is
proposed
or
being
done
and
kind
of
you
know,
plan
ahead
for
what
could
be
coming,
and
you
know
hopefully,
hopefully
my
numbers
are
wrong.
L
I
mean
I'll,
be
honest
with
you,
I
I
I
like
having
more
students,
because
it
offsets
our
our
decline
over
the
years,
but
I
just
hate
to
see
a
school,
overcrowded
and
obviously
I
agree
with
everyone
that
modulars
we
just
got
rid
of
those
and
it
looked
good
without
them.
So
I
don't
want
to
put
them
back
there,
but.
I
But
I
do
like
the
wait
and
see
approach
for
making
bigger
changes
only
because
we're
not
exactly
sure
what's
what's
going
to
happen,
and
why
upset
the
apple
cart
and
move
things
around
if
we're
going
to
have
to
just
move
them
back
and
now
it's
just
you
know
a
kind
of
a
mess
you
know.
Ultimately,
a
permanent
solution
may
have
to
happen
in
force,
not
modulars,
but
we
may
have
to
look
at
expansions
of
those
schools
depending
on
what
happens
so
I
think
we
need
to
be.
We
need
to
be
smart.
A
A
Has
moved
the
three
and
four-year-olds
so
we
have
three
classrooms
in
New
London
there
are
25
children
in
VPI
and
ecsc
at
New,
London,
today
occupying
two
classrooms
and
there's
a
third
VPI
ecsc
with
eight
children
inside.
That's
a
third
classroom,
there's
capacity
to
have
preschools
at
TJ
to
have
them
at
Auto
River.
So
it's
a
it's
a
year.
You
know
Marcus
the
this
is
the
board's
decision.
The
administration's
role
here
is
to
bring
the
information
to
you
through
the
committee
and
through
feedback
from
the
community,
and
you
all
make
a
decision.
A
What
you
want
to
do
we're
looking
down
the
road.
That's
why
we
included
in
this
presentation.
The
housing
is
coming,
it's
it's
being
built
as
we
sit
here
and
there
it's
already
been
approved
and
there
will
be
10
more
over
the
next
several
years.
That
just
seems
to
be
in
my
short
time
in
Beaver
County.
That's
where
the
development
is
so
over
time.
A
I
mean
we
have
a
concern
today
and
two
of
these
buildings,
the
the
89
capacity
at
Forest,
Elementary
School,
is
today
you,
you
see
all
those
Condominiums
and
apartments
that
are
built
literally
out.
The
windows
of
the
school
they're,
going
to
have
some
kids
come
out
of
those
out
of
those
apartments,
come
into
that
building
and
so
we're
a
year
or
two
away
from
we
we're
going
to
have
art
on
a
cart.
We're
going
to
not
have
a
room
for
music.
A
We're
not
going
to
have
a
we're
not
going
to
have
space
for
special
education
resources.
It's
remediation,
there's
just
not
going
to
be
space
to
do
programming,
so
we
can
push
it,
but
we
can't
push
it
indefinitely,
though,
in
particularly
those
two
schools.
I
just
can't
emphasize
that
enough.
So
that's
why,
through
the
listen
I'm
not
proposing
modulars
either
there
was
a
request
from
the
board
to
give
us
the
clocks.
What
would
that
be?
It's!
It's!
A
big
cost!
That's
you
know,
plus
who
wants
them?
I,
don't
want
them.
You
don't
want
them.
A
G
I
think
Dr
Bergen
that
anybody's
at
least
I
didn't
understand
anybody
to
say
that
this
isn't
something
we
might
have
to
do.
Yes,
ma'am
I
think
it's
just
it's
not
a
necessity
to
do
it
now,
except
to
fix
the
New
London
issue,
and
when
that
issue
arise
as
they
arise,
I
guess
as
a
parent.
It
would
be
a
lot
easier
for
me
to
swallow
to
say.
Well,
you
know
we're
at
110
capacity,
there's
no
place
for
anything
anymore.
A
G
I
A
A
Well,
why
do
I
misspeak
so
early
childhood
special
education
or
we
are
responsible
for
transporting
those
children?
So
if
we
transport
into
building
air
Building
B
we're
transporting
those
children,
VPI
families,
families
provide,
can
you
come
to
the
microphone
and
if
we
need
to
gather
more
information,
we
can
do
it.
We
can
do
a
follow-up
report,
not.
A
So
there's
there's
25
children
in
in
the
four
and
five-year-old
program:
14
of
them
live
in
the
New
London
zone,
so
we're
busting,
those
kids
out
they're
getting
on
the
bus
with
The
Kindergartners
and
the
first
graders.
So
there's
another
11
kids
that
are
driving
themselves
right
now.
Those
families
they're
coming
from
Boonsboro
Forest
one's
at
Auto
River.
Now
so,
instead
of
those
families
driving
their
child
to
New
London,
they
would
drive
their
child
to
TJ
or
to
Otter
River.
Wherever
the
program
was.
J
I
will
say
with
our
VPI
students:
we
work
really
hard
to
work
with
families,
so
sometimes
parents
are
transporting
because
they're
headed
to
work
or
they're
in
with
a
grandparent
or
because
they
can't
go
to
our
after-school
care
because
they're
too
young,
so
sometimes
they
we
put
them
with
the
babysitter
in
that
school
zone.
So
we
try
to
work
with
parents.
E
A
Madam
chair,
this
is
just
a
an
annual
request
from
the
administration
from
the
board
to
appoint
designees
a
first,
a
designee
for
the
superintendent.
So
in
my
incapacity
or
inability
to
reach
me
I
should
have
a
designee
and
I'm
recommending
the
deputy
superintendent
Dr
Karen
Woodford
agent
of
the
board
has
been
and
I'm
suggesting.
We
continue
to
be
Mr
Randy
Hagler,
our
assistant
superintendent,
for
finance
and
operations.
A
I
am
strongly
recommending
that
we
continue
with
the
clerk
of
the
school
board,
Diana
Johnson,
and
we
would
have
a
change
in
the
deputy
Clerk
of
the
school
board
to
Melissa
Sexton.
We
would
be
volunteering
her
for
this
role,
but
she
would
again
only
serve
in
the
in
the
event
that
Mrs
Johnson
was
unavailable
so
that
that
is
my
recommendation
for
Action
tonight.
C
E
D
B
E
B
And
Madam
chair,
if
I
could
also
say
the
what
is
in
front
of
you
is
their
suggested
template.
That's
what
has
always
been
used.
If
the
board
wanted
to
have
its
own
code
of
conduct,
it
could
be
created,
you
don't
need
one.
You
could
create
your
own.
You
could
use
a
vsba,
which
is
what
has
been
done
before
nothing's
required,
though.
E
E
E
D
H
And
I'll
just
make
a
little
bit
extra
comment
here.
Increasing
in
prices
on
buses
increase
in
interest
rate
is
coming
in
a
little
bit
higher
than
what
we
budgeted,
but
it
can
be
absorbed
by
the
transportation
budget
as
I
presented
earlier.
We
will
look
at
the
budget
for
next
year
on
the
different
buses.
We
purchase
the
amount
of
buses
we
purchase
and
we
may
have
to
adjust
this
line
to
go
up
or
we
may
be
able
to
reduce
how
many
we
replace
each
year.
So
it's
budget
neutral.
H
E
A
Yes,
ma'am
so
boy,
it
was
great
to
see
T
Fox
here
tonight.
That's
our
first
celebration
for
the
viewing
public
who
were
who
were
not
here.
At
that
moment,
Mr
T
fox
has
been
named:
Bedford
County
Public
Schools
teacher
of
the
year.
So
congratulations
again
to
you
Mr
Fox.
He
will
now
move
on
to
the
state
region,
5
competition,
where
we're
confident
he
is
going
to
rise
right
up
to
the
top
yet
again
and
represent
Bedford
County
as
one
of
the
eight
State
finalists
for
Virginia
teacher
of
the
year.
A
A
A
Next,
if
you
weren't
already
aware
dare
the
drug
resistance
education
program
is
back,
this
is
a
class.
These
are
classroom
lessons
led
by
a
police
officer
to
teach
children
how
to
resist
peer
pressure
and
live
productive
lives,
free
of
drugs
and
violence.
So
what
you
see
here
pictured
are
fifth
grade
students
at
Goodview,
Elementary
School.
A
They
recently
held
a
graduation
ceremony
for
completing
their
dare
program
that
had
been
taught
by
Deputy
Glidden
we'd,
like
to
give
a
special
shout
out
to
sheriff
Mike
Miller
for
his
leadership
in
bringing
the
Dare
program
back
to
Bedford,
County,
Public
Schools,
as
well
as
to
Deputy
Deputy
Glidden
and
the
entire
Bedford
County
Sheriff's
Office
for
their
support
of
our
schools
and
speaking
of
law
enforcement.
If
you
weren't
aware
this
past
Monday,
the
9th
of
January,
was
national
law
enforcement
appreciation
day.
This
is
an
annual
celebration
to
honor
everyone,
who's
involved
in
law
enforcement.
A
So,
of
course,
we'd
like
to
show
our
appreciation
for
all
that
they
do
to
protect
all
of
us
and
serve
our
community,
particularly
we'd
like
to
offer
a
special
thanks
to
all
of
our
school
resource
officers,
including
Deputy
Ron,
Clayton
who's
patrolling
in
the
back
of
the
room.
Thank
you,
Deputy,
klate,
for
being
here
this
evening,
all
of
our
SRO
officers
for
their
service
and
support
of
our
student
staff
and
visitors
every
day.
A
Next,
we're
preparing
to
Showcase
some
of
our
best
elementary
school
artwork
and
we
want
to
make
sure
board
members.
You
know
you're
invited
to
come,
see
it
and
anyone
in
the
community
for
that
matter,
the
winter
Elementary

A
And
finally,
here's
this
month's
three
things
to
know.
First
of
all,
number
one
school
will
be
closed
for
students
and
staff.
Next
Monday,
the
16th
of
January
I'm,
sorry,
schools
will
be
close.
Schools
will
be
closed
on
Monday
January
16th
in
observance
of
Martin
Luther
King
Jr
day
number.
Two
students
will
not
attend
school
on
Monday
February
6,
as
that
is
a
professional
development
day
for
our
staff
and
lastly,
interim
reports
are
scheduled
to
be
sent
home
with
students
three
weeks
from
now
on,
Thursday
February,
2nd.
A
F
We
had
our
first
CTE
committee
meeting
and
basically,
we
just
went
over
our
goals
and
ideas
and
everything
we
want
to
see
come
accomplished
out
of
this
new
committee.
Dr
Bergen
may
have
some
things
he
may
want
to
add
to
it.
I
will
say
we
have
568
applications
for
this
upcoming
school
year
for
CTE
programs.
So
we
are
I,
mean
we're
getting
a
lot
of
people
interested
in
CTE
right
now,.
A
Yeah
it's,
it
was
a
terrific
first
meeting.
Thank
you,
Dwayne
for
your
representing
the
board.
The
room
was
full,
so
we
have
a
lot
of
folks
in
this
Lane
here
in
the
county
and
in
the
town
and
in
the
Lynchburg
Regional
area.
There
are
a
lot
of
individuals
and
organizations
who
are
interested
in
Workforce
Development,
we're
partnering
with
all
of
them,
of
course,
with
our
friends
at
cvcc.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
standing
committee.
We
have
another
meeting
coming
up
next.

As
far
as
comments,
okay,
so
I'd
I'd
like
to
begin
by
just
thanking
the
staff
and
all
of
the
members
of
our
School
Division,
who
helped
out
over
the
holiday
break
when
we
had
that
terrible
water
issue.
I
know
that
it
required
a
lot
of
time
from
staff
members
and
I
just
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
coming
out
and
helping
to
resolve
those
issues.
R
It's
unfortunate
that
we
have
the
type
of
damage
to
the
Liberty
Middle
School
to
the
gym,
but
I
know
that
Dr
Bergen
has
assured
us
that
the
insurance
claim
has
been
filed
and
we're
moving
forward
towards
getting
repairs
done
there
and
so
to
our
Liberty
Middle
School
Community.
You
can
rest
easy,
we're
working
on
that
and
we'll
get
that
gym
up
open
and
up
and
running
again.
R
I
too
want
to
Echo
congratulations
to
Melissa
Overstreet,
the
secretary
at
McAllen,
I've,
known
Melissa,
for
a
number
of
years,
and
she
is
so
deserving
of
this
recognition.
She
is
certainly
the
heart
of
that
school.
She
goes
above
and
beyond
what
her
Duties
are,
and
she
has
a
heart
for
the
community
and
the
students,
and
so
Melissa,
congratulations
you're,
just
so
deserving
of
it,
and
that's
all
that
I
have
get.
G
Miss
Harrison
Dr,
Maley
I
just
have
a
couple
of
comments.
I
want
to
welcome
everybody
back
from
their
break.
I
hope
you
did
something
fun.
You
rested
you
ate
everything
that
didn't
eat,
try
to
eat
you
first
to
all
the
staff
and
all
the
students.
Thank
you
for
coming
back
and
having
a
great
start
to
the
second
half
of
our
year.
G
I
too
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
everything
Mrs
Harris
instead,
but
you
know
just
know
that
some
of
our
staff
were
away
on
Christmas
Day
handling
handling
those
water
problems.
So
very
much
appreciate
them
doing.
That
I
also
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
teacher
of
the
year
and
the
rise
Award
winner,
Melissa
Overstreet
I
too,
have
been
up
there
and
if,
if
she
doesn't
know
it
or
can't
fix
it,
it
can't
be
done.
G
K
You
know
wanting
to
make
sure
that
it
was
going
to
get
fixed
and
not
pushed
the
side
just
want
to.
Let
everybody
know
that
it's
not
a
budget
issue,
since
it
is
an
insurance
claim
and
it's
being
it
is
being
handled
so
I
also
want
to
say
you
can
thank
you
to
sheriff
Miller
for
bringing
the
Dare
program
back
because
in
our
rural
community,
drugs
have
become
quite
the
problem,
and
you
know
what
better
way
to
stop
it
than
stop
it
before
it
gets
started.
So
that's
it
for
me.
F
Welcome
back
everyone,
I
kind
of
want
to
Echo
what
Mr
Holbrook
just
said:
I'm
really
excited
to
see,
dare
program
back
and
I'm
going
to
make
it
my
goal
to
attend
one
of
those
dare
sessions,
because
I
remember
that
as
a
kid
that
was
one
of
my
favorite
things
to
do
so
and
then
I
just
want
to
leave
you
with
a
quote
I
found
earlier
today.
This
is
kind
of
reminded
for
all
of
us.
A
little
progress
each
day
adds
up
to
Big
results.
So
I
just
want
to
keep
that.
I
M
well,
as
usual,
I
have
a
couple
things
to
say,
but
the
first
thing
is
I
have
a
question:
I,
don't
know
if
it's
for
Dr
Cornett
with
we
were
talking
about
adding
you
know
additional
trainers
and
and
and
and
I
think
that's
fantastic
I'm
excited
for
it.
It's
one
of
the
things
that
I
I
wanted
to
see
done
with
this
budget.
I
But
my
question
is
with
sports
and
you
know
a
lot
of
us
watch
sports
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
but
they've
seen
the
news
recently
and
with
the
with
the
player
from
the
Buffalo
Bills
and
and
everything
that
happened
there
are
besides
our
our
trainers.
Do
we
have
you
know
as
far
as
staff
as
coaches
or
how
many
people
on
a
team
or
whatever
are
CPR
certified?
Do
we
have
defibrillators?
Do
we
have
training?
Can
I've
got
some
questions
from
the
community?
I
want
to
be
able
to
answer.
I
I
I
R
I
I
I
I
think
is
the
first
time
he
mentioned
it,
but
today
he
went
on
a
field
trip
to
the
D-Day
Memorial
he's
a
junior
at
JF
and
that's
where
they
were
at
today
and
and
the
things
that
he
learned
today,
I
think
will
stay
with
him
forever
and
we'll
teach
him
about
the
responsibility
and
sacrifice
of
this
great
country
that
that
we
get
to
call
home.
This
is
exactly
why
we
we
voted
on
and
passed
the
promotion
of
patriotism.
I
You
know,
I,
think
these.
These
stories
are
important
to
to
carry
on
and
to
and
to
teach
our
kids
about.
He
texted
me
today.
First,
he
texted
me
a
lot
of
pictures
and
then
he
he
sent
two
texts
and
he
said
when
I
was
walking
past
the
plaques
I
prayed
for
the
soldiers
I
hope
that
memorials
like
this
stay
forever,
because
if
we
never
had
the
people
do
what
they
did
and
and
died
for
us.
I
We
would
never
be
here
today
so
I
mean
you
know
his
great
grandfather
that
served
and
and
made
it
through
to
the
Battle
of
the
Bulge.
You
know
if
it
wasn't
for
the
sacrifice
of
everybody
at
Normandy
and
and
the
Bedford
Boys.
He
doesn't
get
there
so
to
see
that
he
was
proud
of
that
and
that
that
the
legacy
of
this
country
can
live
on.
I
think
is
tremendous,
and-
and
this
is
something
that's
right
here
in
our
backyard
and
if
anyone
listening
out
there
has
not
been
there,
you
know
it.
I
On
another
note,
several
District
Seven
families
have
reached
out
to
me
because
of
a
potential
issue
with
a
business.
That's
that
could
potentially
be
moving
in
close
proximity
to
Otto
River
within
about
a
half
mile,
or
so
there
are
legitimate
concerns
with
this
new
business
and
I
just
want
to
let
you
know,
I've
been
talking
to
families,
I've
been
talking
to
other
governing
bodies,
I
think
our
school
system
also
has
been
informed.
I
We
hope
our
voices
can
be
heard
at
an
upcoming
meeting
with
the
Board
of
Supervisors
whenever
the
time
presents
itself.
If
you
have
more
information,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
to
me
and
and
others
if
you
have
any
details,
but
I
encourage
everyone
that
please
make
your
voices
be
heard.
Whichever
way
you
feel
now,
everybody
here
on
this
board
got
involved
for
various
reasons.
I
I
believe
that
when
we
each
were
elected,
we
tried
to
address
those
issues
that
helped
that
got
us
involved.
I
I
You
know
out
here
in
the
public
view
okay
kind
of
like
C-SPAN.
We
saw
that
a
lot
last
week
in
the
House
of
Representatives.
Most
families
don't
agree
all
the
time
and
conversations
can
get
heated,
but
most
families
conversations
are
not
streamed
on
YouTube
like
ours
are.
The
progress
we've
made
on
this
board
is
is
astonishing.
Very
seldomly
is
our
success
broadcast
in
the
same
light.
We
owe
a
great
deal
of
a
success
to
our
our
partners
on
the
administrative
team
and
they
work
tirelessly
and
a
lot
of
times
without
a
microphone.
I
We
owe
a
ton
of
gratitude
to
the
teachers
who
make
all
of
this
possible
we're
in
a
situation
here
where
we
have
lots
of
challenges
you
heard
of
some
of
them
today,
but
I
can
assure
you
that
we
all
do
our
absolute
best
for
for
these
kids
and
their
future,
and
we
work
every
day
to
make
sure
that
our
resources
are
pouring
into
them.
Our
teachers
need
the
same
amount
of
support
and
they
need
to
know
that
their
voice
matters
and
I
think
we're
taking
all
that
into
into
consideration.
I
We
take
our
decisions
seriously
and
we
work
hard
to
provide
favorable
outcomes
and
try
to
bring
on
these
these
problems
that
are
in
the
public
light.
There's
so
much
more
time
and
effort,
that's
placed
by
everyone
up
here
that
when
we're
not
on
the
stage,
a
lot
goes
into
this.
It's
not
just
a
couple
hours
that
we're
up
here
time
and
energy
spent
behind
the
scenes
would
surprise
Everyone
by
watching
both
here
and
also
at
home.
D
Ms
Kirby
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
agreeing
to
be
our
chair
again
this
year,
appreciate
your
service
and
then
also
I
just
want
to
thank
my
peers
for
selecting
me
as
your
Vice
chair
again
this
year
and
I
look
forward
to
serving
you
again
as
we
go
through
another
fun
year.
Thank
you.
That's
it
thank.
E
E
Consider
it
an
honor
to
to
be
here
and
thank
you
to
Mr
Hill
for
filling
in
for
me
last
month,
during
my
absence,
I
am
jealous
of
the
easy
agenda
that
you
had,
however,
but
also
speaking
of
Mr
Hill
I
would
like
to
wish
you
a
very
happy
belated
birthday
and,
as
always,
I'm
putting
in
my
Shameless
plug
for
bus
drivers,
if
you
or
someone
you
know
would
be
interested
in
driving
for
us.
Please

I
also
want
to
extend
congratulations
to

Forest
Jefferson
Forest
Hall
of
Fame
inductees
I
also
want
to
add
that
this
is
Jefferson
forest's
first
year
of
having
a
Hall
of
Fame.
So
this
is
their
inaugural
class
David,
Allen
class
of
1981
inducted
for
his
excellence
in
football
and
wrestling
Jeff
Callaway
class
of
1980.
E
for
football,
basketball,
baseball
track
and
field.
This
was
very
impressive
to
me.
Nancy
Seymour
Matthews
was
inducted
as
a
coach,
but
notably
as
a
Pioneer,
so
to
speak
as
the
first
female
athletic
director
for
Jefferson
Forest,
as
well
as
the
Seminole
district
and
the
entire
state
of
Virginia
Mickey
stenick
class
of
1981.
He
was
inducted
for
his
excellence
in
football,
baseball
and
basketball,
Glenn
Styles
inducted
for
his
tenures
of
varsity
football
coach.
E
E
He
was
instrumental
in
the
development
of
saber
stadium
and
his
strong
supporter
of
girls
Sports,
which
was
a
breaking
Forefront
of
the
time,
he's
also
given
credit
for
the
hiring
of
Miss
Seymour
Matthews
Calvin
white
class
of
1980.
He
was
inducted
for
his
excellence
in
track
and
field,
and
football
Sheila
Branch
Turpin
class
of
1976.
E
The
1988
state
championship
baseball
team,
notably
our
own
Susie
Gibson
principal
Troy,
Doss,
played
on
that
team,
and
they
were
also
coached
by
LHS
Hall
of
Famers,
Jim,
Thacker
and
Eddie
Burnett
I
know
I,
put
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
Sports
and
extracurricular
activities,
but
I'm
a
firm
believer
that
participation
is
in
sports.
An
arts
program
or
a
club
is
vital
to
Student.
Success
Studies
have
shown
that
students
involved
in
school
have
better
grades
and
are
more
successful
in
the
classroom.
E
I've
heard
from
students
that
have
said
involvement
makes
them
try
harder
being
involved,
is
the
difference
between
being
a
student
at
Bedford,
County,
Public,
Schools
and
being
a
minute
man
or
a
golden
eagle
or
a
cavalier,
and
these
Hall
of
Famers
are
are
examples
of
greatness
of
what
can
be
done
for
those
of
you
who
followed.
Those
names
will
note
that
Sheila
Turpin
was
inducted
into
both
the
Liberty
High
School
and
Jefferson
Forest
hall
of
fames
I
would
like
to
add
that
she's
also
known
also
an
inductee
in
the
Radford
University
Hall
of
Fame.
E
E
E
I
want
to
Echo
everyone
here.
I
want
to
thank
Sheldon
cash
and
his
crew,
who
worked
tirelessly
over
the
Christmas
break
even
on
Christmas
Eve
cleaning
up
the
damage
from
the
water
leak
breaks
at
water
line,
breaks
at
Liberty,
Middle,
Bedford,
Elementary
and
Jefferson
Forest
I
want
to
give
special
kudos
to
Randy
Hagler,
who
was
out
there
helping
with
this
effort.
E
I
know
Randy
personally
does
not
want
the
attention
but
I
had
a
principal
contact
me,
because
she
was
so
impressed
that
a
member
of
the
administration
team
was
there
working
on
Christmas
Eve
and
even
sent
others
home,
so
they
could
be
with
their
families
while
he
stayed
and
worked
to
Liberty
Middle
School
families.
This
is
another
echo
of
what's
been
said
previously.
E
E
E
But
the
physical
appearance
is
a
deterrence
and
a
distraction
from
classroom.
Success.
I've
even
heard
the
appearance
of
the
campus
as
a
judgment
call
for
potentially
pulling
students
from
Liberty,
High
School
and
sending
them
to
Jefferson.
Forest
I've
heard
that
it's
a
belief
that
a
person's
property
value
will
go
down
if
their
homes
are
zoned
to
attend.
The
Liberty,
Zone
paint
chips
and
small
pieces
of
concrete
are
falling
from
the
awnings
and
hitting
the
students.
E
E
In
my
opinion,
this
is
totally
unacceptable.
The
Liberty
family
is
working
hard
to
boost
Minutemen
pride
and
we
need
to
help
and
give
them
something
to
be
proud
of.
We
have
to
step
up.
We
have
to
do
right
by
these
kids.
We
need
to
do
what
we
can
to
give
them
something
to
be
proud
of.
I've,
been
here
long
enough
to
understand
the
budget
and
its
priorities,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
liberty
is
a
priority
too.
