A
B
I
have
a
pretty
loud
voice
all
right
tonight.
I
would
like
to
provide
some
guidance
and
information
on
what
school,
boards
and
administrators
need
to
start
doing
about
the
use
of
any
csc
sel
castle
or
any
other
related
programs
currently
infiltrating
our
schools.
If
you
do
not
recognize
these
acronyms
research
them
as
soon
as
possible,
dig
deep
enough
to
learn
what
they
really
are
and
open
your
minds
to
the
underlying
goals
of
such
malevolent
programs.
B
These
programs
are
changing
our
children
from
functioning
normal
human
beings
into
disturbed
dysfunctional
brainwashed
and
confused
people,
teachers
and
counselors
use
techniques
and
misinformation
and
the
power
of
their
positions,
abusing
the
trust
that
has
been
placed
on
them
to
further
create
a
climate
of
anger,
chaos,
discontent
and
division.
The
harm
children
are
suffering
in
our
schools.
Now
not
possibly
in
the
future.
B
Teachers
are
either
actively
promoting
this
dangerous
agenda
or
carrying
it
out
to
keep
their
jobs
or
get
along
sometimes
because
they
don't
know
what
they
are
doing
or
would
prefer
not
to
know
what
they
are
doing.
It
all
sounds
so
nice
parents
and
any
school
personnel
willing
to
be
honest,
who
believe
in
christian
values,
morality
and
actually
love
children
for
who
they
are
not
beings
to
be
converted
into
some
mindless
obedient.
Perverted
and
lost
people
must
take
risks
and
develop
courage
to
stop
these
programs
completely.
B
Reject
the
materials
curricula
and
money
and
get
back
to
the
foundational
tenets
of
teaching
basic
knowledge,
skills
and
truth
leave
the
rest
to
parents
providing
other
resources
to
help
children
and
parents
who
can't
don't
or
won't
take
on
their
responsibility,
but
stop
subjecting
everyone
to
this
agenda.
Two
concepts
should
be
driving
us.
One
is
urgency.
B
The
transformation
of
our
children's
minds,
bodies
and
hearts
is
occurring
everywhere
in
our
school
and
is
becoming
a
goal
of
every
aspect
of
the
pedagogy
training
and
resources
provided
to
teachers.
Where
we're
not
done
overtly
in
schools,
including
in
this
county,
it
is
being
done
covertly.
We
might
think
south
carolina
is
not
california,
but
we're
catching
up
in
a
hurry
and
being
targeted
to
catch
up
and
cement.
B
A
catastrophic
change
we
are
witnessing
and
implementing
the
culmination
of
decades
of
preparation,
subtle
indoctrination
and
slow
destruction
of
the
founding
judeo-christian
values
upon
which
our
country
was
founded.
Fortunately,
the
fix
is
not
all
that
difficult
get
back
to
the
purpose
of
teachers
and
education,
which
is
to
help
children,
learn
basic
skills,
knowledge
and
truth,
so
they
can
be
positive
and
healthy
adults
contributing
to
our
society,
culture
and
country.
We
don't
need
action
by
legislators.
We
need
action
by
good
and
courageous
local
school
personnel,
and
that
would
be
you.
Thank
you.
A
Our
next
item
on
the
agenda
is:
any
action
is
required
for
items
from
executive
session.
We
do
have
six
expulsion
appeals,
we'll
hear
those.
A
I'm
sorry,
mr
mccullen,
you
you
said
to
deny
the
appeal.
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
from
mr
mcquillan
to
deny
the
appeal
of
student
number
one
and
seconded
by
mrs
marone
or
ms
tanner.
Excuse
me:
is
there
any
by
the
way
dr
wickfall
will
recuse
herself
from
this
particular
vote?
I
A
C
A
A
C
A
H
A
E
A
We
have
a
vote
of
7.
Excuse
me,
8
1.
The
motion
carries.
We
also
have
some
other
motions
coming
out
of
the
executive
session.
C
A
A
D
A
E
A
A
Introduce
yourself
and
your
lovely
wife
and
anyone
else
that
you
may
have
with
you.
A
Any
and
all
of
you
who
want
to
take
a
picture
with
sean,
that's
fine.
We
have
the
time.
C
A
The
next
item
is
item
number
six,
a
temporary
committee
assignment.
So
there's
no
need
for
this
this
evening,
as
we
do
have
all
of
the
board
members
present
or
on
the
phone.
And
the
next
item
is
item
number
seven.
The
superintendent's
report,
mr
dion
jackson,
good.
J
Evening,
mr
chair
board,
members
cabinet
members,
members
of
the
audience,
those
of
you
tuning
in
at
home
this
meeting
this
update.
The
report
is
relatively
brief,
but
I
would
like
to
announce
that
we
have
a
gate
scholar
amongst
our
students:
goose,
creek,
high
school
student
destiny.
Brown
has
been
selected
as
a
gate,
scholar
and
member
of
the
gate
scholarship
class
of
2022..
J
This
is
a
very
highly
selective
process,
and
destiny
is
only
one
of
300
students,
student
leaders
that
were
chosen
from
his
pool
of
37
000
applicants
from
across
the
nation,
and
so
that's
huge
only
one
of
300
out
of
37
000
applicants
across
the
nation.
So
she
now
has
a
full
ride
to
charleston
southern
university,
and
so
congratulations
to
destiny
and
we're
extremely
proud
of
you
and
your
success
and
your
perseverance
and
I
look
forward
to
all
that
you
will
accomplish
at
the
collegiate
level.
J
So
like
destiny,
many
of
our
students
are
working
on
their
academic
achievements
and
accomplishments,
and
our
students
are
preparing
or
currently
taking
the
state
end
of
year,
state
and
end
of
year
assessment.
Some
have
already
completed
their
testing
and
so
recently
our
academics
and
innovation
department.
They
shared
some
results.
Some
preliminary
data
from
I
ready
and
I'm
excited
to
share
that.
J
J
So
that's
phenomenal.
Also
last
note,
mr
mcquillen,
we
have
a
state
champion
state
champions
in
berkeley
county.
Now,
congratulations
to
the
iron
horses
of
philip
simmons.
They
are
the
the
boys
team.
They
are
the
state
champions
for
tennis.
The
iron
horse
has
captured
the
two-way
state
title
on
saturday,
with
a
win
over
christ.
Church.
A
Thank
you,
mr
jackson,
and

the
board

report.
We
want
to
to
hear
on
the
special
committee
report
for
the
naming
of
the
new
corn's
k-8
school
and
I
will
defer
to
chair
kelly
marone
and
thank
you
and
the
rest
of
the
committee,
ms
tanner,
mr
ramsey
and
dr
wickfall.
A
I
Thank
you,
mr
vera
chairman,
so
the
committee
has
five
names
that
they
would
like
to
propose
to
the
full
board
and
that
the
full
board
will
get
together
at
the
next
school
board
meeting
to
vote
for
one
of
the
names
that
we
would
like
to
select
for
the
new
k-8
school
for
the
corns
crossroads
school.
I
The
five
names
that
were
selected
with
the
survey
that
was
provided
are,
as
do
you
have
them
to
put
up
to

are
just
in
alphabetical

is
a

j
m,

A
A
Excellent,

and
getting
down
to
the
to
the

the
board
will
consider
and
on
the
next
board
meeting.
The

and
I
would

your
schedule

all
of
the
board

and
and
planning
for
those
that
are

A
With
that,
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
the
regular

so
that
the
committee
actually
so
that
the

can
have
their

Is

K
Good
evening
superintendent,
jackson,
chairman
barrow
and
members
of
the
board,
the
office
of
technology
and
the
virtual
learning
department
within
the
office
of
technology
and
the
academics
and
innovate
on
office,
we
have
collaboratively
worked
together
to
move
our
district
forward
in
the
virtual
learning
space.
We
recognize
that
our
world
has
changed,
so
the
needs
of
our
students
and
families
also
have
changed.
K
So
with
this
being
said,
we
are
excited
to
share
with
you
our
plans
for
virtual
high
school
expansion,
and
this
will
expand
the
learning
opportunities
for
our
students
and
the
options
for
the
families
of
berkeley
county.
So
I
would
like
to
miss
driggers
with
office
of
technology,
and
I
would
like
to
recommend
she
thought
I
was
going
to
make
her
speak,
but
I
didn't
would
like
to
recommend,
I
mean,
introduce
miss
jenna
wells
and
dr
kim
mclaren
up
to
share
with
you
our
plans
for
expansion.
L
Hello
good
evening,
thank
you,
dr
dixon.
L
Good
evening,
I'm
superintendent
jackson,
chair
barrow
members
of
the
board,
we're
here
tonight
to
present
to
you
our
plan
to
expand
virtual
programs
into
a
full-time
learning
space
for
students
in
grades
11
through
12..
L
It
started
with
the
pandemic
spilled
over
into
this
past
school
year
and
then,
since
the
beginning
of
this
school
year,
we've
been
accommodating
students
virtually
and
having
lots
of
inquiries
into
ways
we
could
meet.
The
students
needs
right
now
we
have
students
participating
in
both
berkeley,
county's
virtual
programs,
as
well
as
low
country
virtual
with
the
partnership
through
the
country
education
consortium,
and
then
we
also
have
our
virgil
esse
and
our
berkeley
county
students.
L
So
spring
students
total.
We
have
more
than
500
students,
and
this
week
students
are
all
taking
their
finals
and
trying
to
finish
up,
but
the
majority
of
those
students
are
our
11th
and
12th
grade
students.
Those
are
the
students
that
fill
those
spaces
with
both
virtual
sc
and
bcvlp.
So
the
majority
of
those
students
are
the
11th
and
12th
grade
students.
L
So
we're
presenting
kind
of
a
vision,
so
bcvlp
is
our
virtual
learning
programs
and
they
incorporate
bcvlp
as
it
exists
now,
so
students
take
supplemental
courses
virtually
to
supplement
their
school
schedule.
We
also
have
low
country
virtual-
that
is
full-time
fourth
through
eighth
grade,
and
they
were
wanting
to
introduce
a
full-time
program
for
11th
and
12th
grade.
L
What
we
are
proposing
is
50
students
per
grade
level,
so
50
and
11,
50
and
12,
and
these
are
students
who
would
be
able
to
meet
graduation
requirements
through
what
is
offered
virtually.
L
We
would
also
partner
with
the
school,
so
they
would
provide
sped
support.
They
would
supply,
provide
scl
support
and
then
we
would
also
have
required
academic
coaching
for
the
students
conferences
regularly
with
the
students,
with
a
success
team
for
the
students
to
ensure
that
they're
on
track
to
meet
their
goals
and
college
and
career
readiness.
L
L
We
would
have
to
meet
the
alignment
to
the
state
virtual
guidelines,
which
includes
no
less
than
25
percent
live
instructional
time
also.
It
has
to
align
with
our
currently
approved
proficiency
model,
and
we
would
only
be
able
to
offer
certain
electives
certain
cte
courses
and
we're
exploring
more
partnerships
to
expand
those
offerings.
L
We
are
looking
at
having
a
career
certified
counselor,
to
support
these
students
and
then
also
adding
on
a
0.5
science
person,
a
0.5
social
studies
and
then
a
full-time
math
person
who
would
not
only
teach
the
math
but
also
offer
recovery
and
remediation
for
math
students
a
student's
concerns
coach.
This
is
the
person
who
is
staying
in
touch
with
the
students
regularly
following
up
with
the
students.
L
These
are
the
projected
costs
just
for
operating,
so
the
seats
that
are
used
through
virtual
sc
are
franchise
seats.
Those
are
a
hundred
dollars
per
student
and
you
have
the
other
software
integrations
partnership
with
florida
virtual
for
courses.
These
are
all
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
support
our
curriculum
and
make
sure
that
the
students
have
access
to
everything
that
they
need
and
then
also
the
online
teaching
endorsement.
That
is
a
preferred
endorsement
from
the
state
department
for
teachers
who
are
teaching
in
the
online
space
as
well.
L
L
Those
also
have
seats
earmarked
for
any
sped
students.
Then
we
would
have
our
current
bcvlp
budget,
which
operates
offering
courses
for
students
in
grade
7
through
12.
and
then
the
bottom
part
of
the
middle
column
is
where
we're
adding
on
the
virtual
academy,
and
all
of
these
are
utilizing
esser
funds.
So
all
three
together
we're
looking
at
just
at
700
000.
L
I
So
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong
and
if
I
heard
this
wrong
so
we
have
four
through
eighth
and
then
11
and
12.
L
So
we
have
four
through
eight
full
time,
with
our
partnership
through
lowcountry
virtual
and
then
we
have
bcvlp,
which
is
just
supplemental.
They
might
take
a
course
or
two,
and
then
we
have
what
we're
proposing,
which
would
be
50
and
11th
and
50
and
12
for
full
time.
I
C
L
Or
if
they
have
students
who
are
working
or
need
to
fill
in
their
schedule,
they
would
take
it
virtually.
So
that's
the
bcblp
as
it
operates.
I
Okay,
because
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
else
hears
that
because
other
people
could
be
hearing
that
and
thinking,
okay,
four
through
eight
and
then
nine
and
ten
go
back
to
school
and
then
eleven
twelve,
so
I
just
wanna
make
sure
that
we're
talking
about
so
everyone
else
understands.
Okay,
thank
you.
E
E
L
Okay,
so
the
students
in
lcb
they've
done
really
well
90
of
the
students
who
participated
this
year
are
returning
for
next
year.
I
get
a
report
every
week
of
the
student
progress.
I
get
notifications
of
any
students
who
are
failing
any
courses
and
I'm
happy
to
say
I
haven't-
had
to
call
home
any
this
week,
so
that's
been
great
and
with
with
bc
vlp,
our
core
success
is
matching.
L
L
Constraints
that
are
preventing
them
from
fully
accessing
their
curriculum.
We
also
have
a
transient
population
of
students
as
well,
so
we
have
students
who
are
withdrawn
or
students
who
move
from
one
school
and
they
continue
virtually
and
then
they
kind
of
move
around.
So
the
success
rate
is
not
what
it
is
in
the
in
the
brick
and
mortar
school,
but
it
is
comparable
to
the
to
the
state.
C
K
Getting
some
kind
of
education
can
add,
like
the
virtual
academy
addition
and
expansion
is
offering
through
this
application
process,
we'll
be
offering
to
students
who
are
it's.
You
know
interested
in
this
virtual
learning
space
and
we're
recommending
that
it's
for
students
who
can
you
know,
keep
up
with
the
rigor
and
the
independence
and
the
checking
in
on
their
own.
K
With
the
you
know,
the
student
success
teachers
to
make
sure
they
get
the
work
done,
so
it
will
be
a
little
different
than
the
virtual
flex
that
we
have
now,
where
you
get
a
variety
of
students
who
have
to
you
know,
decide
to
take
it,
for
a
number
of
reasons
could
have
been
something
family
related,
or
they
need
a
course
to
graduate
et
cetera,
and
this
one
is
more
so
geared
for
those
students
who
are
interested
in
that
type
of
learning,
environment.
E
Yeah
because
I'm
also
interested
in
the
sped
population,
because
I
know
that
when
we
were
closed
down,
that
a
number
of
sped
children
wound
up
excelling
because
they
were
learning
virtually
so
I'll,
be
interesting
to
see
how
that
works
with
them,
incorporating
them
into
this
program.

A

Good
evening
chairman
mcquillen
board
members
and
superintendent
jackson,
we
are
exploring
an
opportunity
for
a
potential
refunding
on
two
of
our
bonds.
David
cheatwood
from
first
tryon,
is
here
to
provide
that
overview
of
this
opportunity
and
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have
jeremy
cook.
Our
bond
council
can
also
answer
questions
via
phone.
If
we
have
questions
for
him
as
well,
this
is
for
information
only.
We
will
not
be
voting
on
anything
this
evening.
If
the
decision,
if
it's
favorable,
we
will
proceed
and
bring
this
back
to
you
for
a
vote
on.
May
the
24th.
N
All
right,
mr
jackson,
board
members
good
evening
thanks
very
much
as
always
for
having
me
here
tonight,
as
you
may
recall,
asked
in
front
of
you
a
couple
months
back
just
talking
about
the
school
district's
outstanding
debt,
your
debt
service
structure,
going
forward
and
the
capacity
to
issue
debt
for
new
money
projects.
N
Tonight,
as
ms
smith
said,
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
a
couple
of
refinancing
opportunities
that
you
have
and
also
to
reiterate
what
ms
smith
said.
This
is
for
informational
purposes,
only
no
actions
required
tonight,
but
just
to
fast
forward.
To
the
end
of
this,
we
are
recommending
that
you
move
forward
with
a
couple
of
these
refinancings,
in
which
case
we
would
be
back
before
you
at
your
next
meeting
in
a
couple
of
weeks
to
start
on
page
one
just
wanted
to
again
refresh
you
on
the
school
district's
outstanding
debt.
N
As
of
may
1st,
you
have
approximately
480
million
in
outstanding
debt,
that's
in
the
form
of
general
obligation,
bonds
of
which
you
have
about
253
million
special
obligation
bonds.
You
have
just
over
20
million
in
installment
purchase
revenue
bonds
and
you
have
approximately
207
million
outstanding
there.
N
The
highlighted
rows
are
the
potential
refinancing
opportunities
that
we
wanted
to
make
you
aware
of
on
the
general
obligation
bond
side.
That's
your
series
2014
a
the
outstanding
par
mount
right
now
on
those
is
about
88
and
a
half
million
of
which
about
83
and
a
half
million
is
eligible
to
be
refinanced
and
I'll
come
back
to
that
in
just
a
minute
on
the
installment
purchase
revenue
bond
side.
N
The
call
under
the
call
provision
column
that's
important
to
highlight
as
well.
The
call
provision
also
is
to
think
of
it,
like
your
prepayment
provision.
That's
when
you're
eligible
to
refinance
those
bonds
you'll
see
that
those
are
at
a
date
in
the
future.
On
your
go
side,
that's
on
march
1st
of
2024
and
on
the
installment
purchase
revenue
bond
side.
That's
december
1st
of
23..
N
What
we
did
in
order
to
formally
evaluate
the
potential
savings
we
were
running
some
estimated
interest
rate
or
assuming
some
estimated
interest
rates
out
there
to
generate
estimated
savings.
We
wanted
to
get
actual
proposals
in
hand,
so
we
sent
out,
on
behalf
of
the
school
district,
a
request
for
proposals
to
a
list
of
local,
regional
and
national
banks
requesting
and
giving
them
all
the
information
they
would
need
to
provide
proposals
for
a
refunding
of
those
three
series
of
bonds.
N
What
we
asked
for
in
the
rfp
were
two
different
options,
and
this
gets
back
to
the
ways
that
you
can
refinance
debt
that
doesn't
have
a
call
date
until
the
future.
The
first
is
what
we
call
a
forward
refunding.
That's
where
you
lock
in
an
interest
rate
today
on
a
tax-exempt
basis,
and
then
you
close
on
that
refunding
on
or
about
the
call
date,
and
so
again
it
allows
you
to
lock
in
today's
rates
you
don't
close
on
the
refinancing
until
the
call
date
in
the
future.
N
The
other
option
is
called
a
convertible
refunding.
That's
where
you
actually
close
today
on
a
taxable
refunding
bond,
and
then
it
converts
to
a
tax-exempt
rate
on
the
call
date
in
the
future.
The
reason
we
have
these
two
different
options
here
is
because,
under
current
tax
law,
you
cannot
close
on
a
tax-exempt
refunding
more
than
90
days
ahead
of
the
call
date,
and
so
that's
where
these
two
different
structures
come
into
play.
Several
different
issuers
have
done
this
and
continue
to
do
it
in
the
current
environment.
N
N
All
seven
of
those
banks
offered
a
convertible
refunding
option
and
one
bank
offered
a
forward
refunding
option.
That's
was
not
unexpected,
given
the
with
those
bonds
having
a
call
date
of
march,
one
of
24
about
18
to
20
months
or
so
from
now.
Not
all
banks
can
do
a
forward
refunding
with
that
long
of
a
call
period.
So
again,
not
unexpected
that
we
just
got
in
the
one
on
the
forward.
N
Jp
morgan
was
the
bank
that
offered
the
lowest
interest
rate
and
therefore
the
highest
level
of
savings
on
both
the
convertible
and
the
forward
options.
Looking
at
the
interest
rates,
they
provided
the
forward
refunding
option
provided
the
school
district
with
the
most
or
highest
level
of
savings.
The
table
here
summarizes
what
those
savings
would
be.
If
you
look
at
the
bottom,
there
total
cash
flow
savings
just
under
3.7
million
on
an
annual
cash
flow
basis.
N
It's
about
400
000
in
fiscal
year
2024
and
then
about
365
000,
beginning
in
fiscal
25
through
maturity
on
fiscal
in
fiscal
year
2033..
I
should
note
for
all
of
these.
We
are
not
extending
the
maturity
of
these
bonds,
we
are
simply
refinancing
them
within
the
same
time
period
and
taking
our
savings
on
a
level
annual
basis
on
a
net
present
value
basis
that
3.7
million
equates
to
about
3.2
million
or
in
the
industry.
N
N
In
years
past
people
with
the
incredibly
low
interest
rate
environment
we've
seen
savings
at
much
higher
levels,
but
even
though
rates
have
risen
to
start
the
year,
we're
still
able
to
get
3.9
percent,
and
so
a
good
level
in
what
is
in
presumably
a
rising
interest
rate
environment
going
forward
seems
to
make
good
sense
to
lock
that
in
today
and
again
I'll
circle.
Back
to
that,
I
should
note
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
here
the
bullet,
and
this
is
important
because
we'll
come
back
to
you
in
a
couple
of
weeks.
N
This
is
an
indicative
rate
by
j.p
morgan.
They
require
and
other
banks
require,
the
school
district
to
enter
into,
what's
called
a
rate
lock
agreement
to
lock
in
that
rate,
and
so
in
order
to
do
that,
we
need
approval
from
the
board
to
enter
into
a
rate
lock
agreement,
and
so,
when
we
get
to
this
next
steps,
we'll
talk
about
how
we
can
go
and
lock
that
rate
in
so
there
is
still
some
market
risk
if
we
decide
to
move
forward
with
that,
but
this
is
rates
as
of
today.
N
Similarly,
on
the
iprb
refundings
installment
purchase
revenue
bonds,
there's
two
series
out
there,
the
2013
c
and
the
2015a
we
had
three
banks
propose
a
convertible
refunding
and
one
bank
propose
a
forward
refunding
again
jp
morgan
offered
the
lowest
rate
on
both
of
those
options
and
also
the
forward
rate
was
again
the
lowest
of
those
two.
N
The
2013
c
does
not
produce
any
savings
based
on
their
indicative
rates,
so
we
would
not
obviously
recommend
that
you
move
forward
refinancing
that,
given
that
there's
no
savings,
however,
on
the
2015
a
bonds,
there
are
savings
to
be
had
there
based
on
these
indicative
rates.
If
you
look
again
at
the
table,
total
cash
flow
savings
of
about
2.5
million
500
000
in
fiscal
year
2024,
and
about
400
000
for
fiscal
25
through
29,
not
extending
maturity,
just
level
annual
savings
and
on
a
net
present
value
basis,
that's
about
2.3
million
or
3.4
percent.
N
In
order
to
lock
these
in
again,
these
are
indicative
rates.
Here
you
all
would
need
to
enter
into
in
the
corporation
with
respect
to
the
the
issue
of
corporation
for
the
installment
purchase,
revenue
bonds
would
need
to
enter
into
this
rate,
lock
agreement
that
would
formalize
the
rates
formalize
the
conditions
precedent
to
closing
in
2023
and
2024.
N
They
provided
a
form
of
that
rate,
lock
agreement
we'll
comment
on
it.
Your
bond
council
will
comment
on
it,
but
we
would
propose
and
given
those
level
of
savings,
we
would
recommend
that
you
move
forward
with
those
two
refunding
opportunities
and
we
would
propose
to
come
back
to
you
in
a
couple
of
weeks
and
ask
for
your
formal
approval
to
do
those
refundings
and
to
enter
into
that
rate
block
agreement.
N
So
really
no
downside
to
continuing
with
this
assuming
again
you're
comfortable
with
the
level
that
it's
at
right
now
and
so
in
a
couple
weeks.
We
come
back
to
you.
So
here
are
the
actual
rates
that
would
be
locked
in
here.
The
actual
savings
and
then
request
your
approval
to
that
happy.
To
answer
any
questions
you
all
may
have
on
that.
A
Is
the
fed?
Are
they
poised
to
make
an
an
interest
rate
adjustment
in
the
near
future?.
N
So
they
just
acted
last
week
and
increased
their
rate
by
50
basis
points.
They
do
not
meet
again
until
june,
so
you
do
not
have
another
fed
meeting.
Okay,
you
know.
I
would
note
that
the
while,
when
the
fed
moves
its
rate,
it
does
move
pretty
much
automatically
the
market.
The
banks
that
are
quoting
these
rates
are
baking
this
in
they
are
baking
in
the
expectation
that
rates
are
going
to
continue
to
rise.
So
a
lot
of
that
movement's
baked
in,
but
to
directly
answer
your
question.
G
So
moved,
do
we
have
a
second?
We
have
a
motion
to
second
any
discussion.
Hearing,
none
I'll
call
the
question
all
in
favor,
please
respond
by
saying:
aye
aye
motion
passes
three
to
zero.
The
third
agenda
item
is
for
information
only,
and
that
is
the
third
quarter.
Finance
update
ms
smith
you're
again
recognized.
M
Thank
you
tonight
I
will
be
presenting
the
third
quarter:
finance
update
through
the
second
quarter
of
2021
2022.
We
were
showing
an
unbalanced
budget.
However,
at
the
last
board
meeting
the
board
approved
a
budget
amendment
for
revenue
resulting
in
a
balanced
budget.
As
of
331
2022,
we
have
received
261
million
dollars
of
budgeted
of
the
budgeted
339
million
in
local
state
and
federal
funds.
M
Our
expenditures
for
the
third
quarter
are
215
million,
with
another
5
million
encumbered
looking
at
a
year
to
year
comparison,
local
revenue
is
stronger
in
2122
than
2021
as
expected,
and
state
revenue
is
slightly
higher
during
the
same
period
as
last
year.
On
the
expenditure
side,
salaries
and
benefits
are
higher
due
to
new
positions
and
a
cost
of
living
and
step
increase
over
prior
year
and
purchase
services
and
supplies
and
materials
are
also
slightly
higher
than
prior
year.
M
The
district
special
revenue
funds
are
budgeted
at
153
million
and
we
have
received
28
million
to
date.
These
funds
include
all
the
state,
federal
and
local
grants.
In
addition,
it
includes
cares
esser2
and
sr3,
and
those
three
three
will
be
broken
out
on
the
next
two
slides
expenditures.
For
special
revenue
funds
are
26
million,
with
14
million
encumbered
the
cares
fund,
which
ends
on
9
30
2022
had
carryover
revenue
of
1.8
million
through
the
third
quarter.
We
spent
721
000
and
anticipate
having
all
funds
spent
by
the
deadline.
M
The
sr2
budget
is
32.2
million.
We
have
received.
Excuse
me.
We
have
submitted
and
received
4.2
million
for
claim
reimbursement
through
331
total
expenditures
were
6.5
million,
with
11.1
million
in
convert.
The
encumbrance
is
mostly
for
roof
replacements,
leaving
a
balance
of
14.5
million.
If
you
remember
in
february,
during
the
capital
presentation,
without
the
use
of
so3
for
capital
projects,
we
would
have
been
headed
into
2022
2023,
with
27.5
million
more
in
capital
needs
than
actual
funding
with
sr2
and
sr-3.
We
are
still
underfunded
on
our
capital
needs,
but
by
8.6
million.
M
The
sr3
allocation
is
72.5
million,
and
we've
received
3
million
in
claimed
revenue.
Expenditures
to
date
are
4.1
million
because
of
the
overlap
of
sr2
and
sr3.
The
majority
of
the
funds
will
be
spent
in
years
2
and
3.
With
the
majority
of
the
funds
for
learning,
loss
and
capital
projects,
the
eia
budget
is
state
revenue,
only
we
have
received,
22
million
and
expenditures
are
7.7
million.
To
date,
our
capital
budget
consists
of
a
carry
forward
of
34.2
million
from
2021.
M
I
know
it
says
20
1920
up
there,
but
it
should
say
2021
and
the
funds
received
this
school
year
in
the
amount
of
40.9
million.
As
expected,
the
majority
of
the
funds
are
in
capital
outlay.
Total
expenditures
were
26
million,

Thank

The
grounds
department
in
facilities
has
been
experienced
experiencing
severe
staffing
issues
that
have
affected
their
ability
to
maintain
the
district's
standards
for
lawn
care.
A
cost
analysis
was
conducted
to
determine
the
best
option
to
move
forward.
It
was
determined
that
the
district
would
be
able
to
outsource
this
task
by
reallocating
funds
already
budgeted
and
not
fulfilling
open
positions.
M
Grounds
will
continue
to
maintain
all
athletic
fields.
Grounds
crew
will
continue
to
maintain
all
athletic
field
shrubs
and
tree
trimming.
Several
ground
staff
are
being
re-allocated
to
value-added
positions
such
as
pressure
washing
parking
lot,
striping
gutter,
cleaning,
etc,
which
will
enhance
the
overall
aesthetics
of
the
district
properties
and
alleviate
some
roofing
and
gutter
issues.
You
should
have
a
copy
of
the
cost
analysis
for
the
grounds
organizational
chart
that
ms
drueger's
provided
you
this
evening.
M
We
are
awarding
zones
3,
5
and
6
under
solicitation,
639
2122,
and
we
have
rebid
zones,
1,
2
and
4
on
rfp
654.
As
those
came
in
over
budget
the
highest
ranked
offer
for
rfp
639
that
provided
reasonable
pricing
for
zones.
Three
five
and
six
is
artis
landscaping
and
maintenance
for
zone
three
somerville
area
zone.
H
H
000
could
go
away
easily
if
we
make
a
mistake
and
we
invest
a
lot
into
buying
mowers
and
all
that
stuff
I'm
not
opposed
to
who
got
the
bids,
I'm
just
a
little
skeptical
of
going
back
external
again,
we
just
haven't
seen
success
either
way,
and
so
I
feel
like
there's
a
bigger
problem.
We
need
to
try
to
get
to
the
bottom
of,
because
we've
tried
to
do
this
a
lot
of
different
ways,
but
I
guess
this
is
what
we're
trying
now.
A
M
There
must
be
a
typo
in
that
motion
because
it
is
for
654
rfp654
2122
that
is
zone
one
two
and
four,
and
the
one
we're
reviewing
now
for
639
is
zone
three
five
and
six.
A
But,
like
ms
walford
said,
we've
we've
purchased
a
lot
of
machinery
and
a
lot
of
lawnmowers
for
us
to
do
it
ourselves.
Now,
if
we
can't
do
it
with
the
people
we
have
or
the
machinery
isn't
sufficient
outsourcing
is
is
available,
but
why
would
we
throw
the
baby
back
out
with
the
bath
water
and
just
do
away
with
with
doing
all
of
it
and
outsource
all
of
it.
O
A
H
So
so
front
of
school's
side.
That's
why
I'm
asking
like.
If
I'm
looking
at
berkeley
high
school,
we
would
be
maintaining
what's
directly
in
front
of
the
school
and
kind
of
on
the
sides
in
the
parking
lot
and
then
the
soccer
field
and
the
the
baseball
field,
they
they're
crazy,
and
they
do
it
all
themselves
in
the
football
field.
Those
would
be
maintained
by
your
folks,
correct.
O
We
looked
at
this
and
we
broke
it
up
into
zone
so
that
we
could
have
more
competitive
pricing
instead
of
a
big
company,
so
we've
got
smaller
vendors,
and
so
we
were
able
to
lower
the
price,
and
the
other
thing
that
we
were
able
to
do
is
with
the
people
that
we
have
without
displacing
anyone.
The
people
that
are
in
grounds
that
are
currently
maintaining
the
just
the
lawn
care
portion
they
would.
O
We
would
use
some
of
those
people
to
help
with
the
gutter
clean
things
that
we
don't
get
to,
which
are
the
cleaning
the
gutters,
the
parking
lot,
striping,
painting
parking,
lots
and
pressure
washing.
So
we're
going
to
use
those
people
in
those
positions.
P
H
Were
we
able
to
bring
in
any
minority
business
partners
to
win
any
of
these
bids?
Is
this
helping
us
meet
some
of
those
requirements
at
all?
Have
we
given
somebody
a
chance?
Don't.
O
Have
I
know
our
team
says,
I'm
not
sure
I
know
some
of
the
vendors
where
I
don't
know
which
one
I.
H
H
D
I'm
kind
of
like
with
a
chairman
as
far
as
part
of
the
issue
we
had
in
the
in
the
past
was
we
had
large
lawn
care
service
and
then
we
brought
it
inside,
and
I
was
always
of
the
mind
that
maybe
a
couple
smaller
businesses
within
certain
communities
might
would
do
a
better
job
servicing
those
communities
because
they
would
have
more
incentive
because
it's
kind
of
been
an
ongoing
problem,
whether
it
was
quite
frankly
in
my
district,
we
had
better
lawn
care
when
it
was
outsourced
than
when
it
came
in
sourced
and
then
now
just
going
to
a
couple
of
big
companies.
D
I'm
concerned,
as
far
as
and
like
chairman
barrow
said
you
know,
we
did
spend
a
lot
of
money
to
bring
it
in-house,
so
that
kind
of
going
all
the
way
now
back
outsource
when
we
came
all
the
way
in
source.
I
don't
know
if
that's
necessarily
the
right
way
to
go,
but
I
do
support
that.
We
do
need
to
outsource
some
of
it
because
we
have
not
been
able
to
handle
it
as
a
district
efficiently.
J
Mr
mrs
dragos,
do
you
have
the
I'm
sorry,
mr
chair
right
yeah,
do
you
have
the
the
numbers
for
the
equipment
acquisition
or
the
equipment
replacement
equipment
replacement
schedule
that
we've
had
to
deal
with
as
it
relates
to
the
the
lawn
equipment?
I
know
we've
had
some
issues
and
had
to
replace
some
equipment
as
well.
P
So
I
don't
have
the
replacement
costs.
I
do
have
the
repair
costs
annually
and
last
year
alone,
because
we're
having
so
much
turnover
we're
having
to
retrain
people
as
we
come
along.
We
spent
26
thousand
dollars
or
some
repair
lawnmowers
last
year
alone,
because
as
we
bring
new
staff
in,
we
don't
use
push
mowers
or
regular
riding
lawn
mowers,
so
they
have
to
be
trained
in
the
process
of
them
being
trained.
Obviously,
we
have
the
turnover
they're
not
as
confident
as
they
would
be
once
they're
finished
their
training.
P
So
we
have
a
lot
of
repairs
on
that.
That's
not
including
the
man
hours
of
going
back
and
forth,
so
on
and
so
forth.
As
far
as
the
equipment
that
we've
already
purchased,
those
things
can
be
reallocated
to
things
that
we're
already
going
to
be
that
we're
going
to
add
to
like
having
two
athletics
crews.
P
We
haven't
been
able
to
get
around
to
athletic
fields
as
we
should
adding
an
additional
crew
will
allow
us
to
do
so.
So
we
want
also.
We
have
spare
mowers
that
we
use
that
are
outdated
and
have
to
get
constant
repair,
we'll
be
able
to
move
some
of
those
out
and
sell
them
and
then
move
something
more
that
we
have
that
are
newer
in
better
condition.
I
spare
mores
that
way.
We
don't
have
any
down
time
if
we
do
have
a
crew
that
goes
down
with
a
more
issue.
I
Isn't
it
did
he
just
spare
boulders?
Isn't
there
I
mean
there
has
to
be
technology
out
there
that
can
do
things
laserally
for
our
athletic
fields.
I
mean
I
have
a
robot
that
can
vacuum
my
house
for
me,
so
there
there
has
to
be
equipment
that
we
can
use.
It's
2022,
that
we
can
look
into
that
could
line
fields
and
do
stuff
that
maybe
can
save
some
manpower
too
well.
P
I
J
J
C
P
That
it's
not
just
a
berkeley
county
issue.
There
are
a
lot
of
municipalities
in
the
area
they're
having
the
same
issue
and
having
to
outsource
their
departments
for
grounds
we
at
berkeley
county.
We
have
different.
What's
what
I'm
looking
for,
like
our
standards
of
hiring
would
be
different
than
lawn
care.
Companies
would
be
they
can
hire
people
that
we,
we
necessarily
couldn't
hire
to
do
so,
and
we
just
have
trouble
filling
those
positions
so.
A
Let
me
ask
a
question
and
kind
of
sop:
standard
operating
procedure,
type
thing.
So
will
it
be
somebody
at
the
maintenance
level
at
the
district
level,
miss
riggers
to
oversee
this
and
to
make
sure
that
there
that
there
is
a
regularly
scheduled
service
for
each
school
and
also
when
there
are
individual
issues
at
any
of
individual
site?
O
Yeah
we
we're
going
to
use
the
ground
supervisor,
he's
going
to
manage
this
contract
and
we'll
have
the
criteria
set
as
far
as
the
keeping
up
with
the
vendors
and
they
would
in
most
cases
they
could
probably
just
put
a
work
order
in
and
then
it
would
go
to
him
and
he
would
find
out
what's
going
on
and
work
with
the
vendor.
So.
A
How
much
more
is
this
1.1
million
a
year,
gonna
cost
the
district.
I
know
we've
we're
reassigning
some
of
the
some
of
the
people
that
do
different
things,
so
they're
going
to
be
doing
different
things.
So
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
be
cost
effective
in
one
way,
but
it's
not
cost
effective
in
terms
of
paying.
For
this.
O
G
O
Have
now
for
the
people
that
I
mean
there's
vacant
positions
that
we
can't
fill
so
we've
in
anticipation
of
doing
something
different,
we
haven't
filled
those
positions.
A
Well,
I'm
not
opposed
to
it.
I'm
just
saying
that
this
is
kind
of
new
to
me.
I
just
learned
about
this
and
I
need
some
time
to
discuss
this
and
absorb
it
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
protocol
and
a
method
to
our
madness
to
make
sure
that
schools
don't
go
neglected
by
some
big
corporation.
That
comes.
C
M
E
A
I
I
K
P
Trimming
and
bushing
shrubbing,
so
we
can't
get
around
to
doing
tree
trimming
as
we
should
so
that
causes
issues
with
our
building
envelope,
because
we
have
trees
that
are
on
the
building.
Okay
as
well,
so
we're
going
to
keep
that
in
house,
because
we
have
staff
to
do
that
if
we
outsource
the
ground
so
athletic
bills
tree
trimming,
pond
maintenance
as
well.
So
all
the
ponds
in
the
district
will
be
maintained
by.
H
P
H
Gets
and
then
like
shrubs.
P
And
trees
will
take
care
of
maintaining
our
shrubs
and
trees,
so
they
the
we,
are
outsourcing
all
the
cutting
and
and
all
the
cutting
meat
eating
and
edging
of
the
of
the
facilities
and
the
flour
breads
as
well,
and
the
flower
beds
so
and
the
outsource
will
also
handle
all
the
the
chemical
dispersal
distribution
chemicals
to
the
grass
fertilizer
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
P
E
P
H
And
berkeley
elementary
elementary,
so
anything
that
we
have.
But
then,
if
you
go
out
like
towards,
they
would
also
cut
oakley
and
menrif
with
the.
H
P
It's
all
the
facilities
other
than
the
facilities
and
maintenance
shop.
We
maintain
that
ourselves,
which
is
our
shop,
but
all
other
facilities
can
be
maintained
by
this
contract.
J
G
We
got
a
motion
a
second
to
approve.
I
may
amend
it
and
make
a
motion
to
table
until
we
get
additional
information.
Do
I
have
a
second
on
the
motion
a
table?
Second,
all
right.
We
got
a
motion
to
table
until
we
receive
additional
information.
All
in
favor,
please
respond
by
saying
aye
aye
aye
any
opposed.
Oh,
no,
all
right,
we've
got.
It
passes
two
to
one
to
table
we'll
get
some
additional
information
at
the
next
committee
meeting
as
well.
G
That's
right
so
for
the
seventh
agenda
items:
rfp,
654,
2122,
lawn
services
for
cross
goose,
creek,
macedonia.
Amongst
quarter
and
saint
stephen,
I
moved
to
table
the
seventh
agenda
item
to
have
a
second.
Second,
we
have
a
motion.
A
second.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
this
item?
Hearing
none
I'll
call
the
question
all
in
favor
of
tabling
this
agenda
item.
Please
respond
by
saying:
hi
hi!
Any
opposed.
No
motion
passes
two
to
one.
C
C
B
Q
Good
evening,
madam
chair
superintendent,
jackson
and
board
members,
we
are
asking
for
approval
of
revisions
to
the
berkeley
county
school
district
2021-2022
salary
book.
The
salary
book
has
been
updated
to
include
the
following:
an
updated
date
under
the
compensation
guidelines,
added
statement
regarding
summer
travel
for
teachers
upon
principal
request.
Q
Currently,
compensatory
time
is
given
in
not
funds,
so
now
teachers
will
receive
the
stipend
sometimes
in
order
to
keep
programs
going
at
schools.
The
principals
may
request
special
certification.
So,
instead
of
getting
comp
time
now,
there
will
be
an
additional
stipend
given
and,
of
course,
travel
expenses
cover.
H
I
thought
that's
what
it
was
one
and
not
the
other,
but
then
I
was
like
what,
if
it's
both
don't
think
we're
doing
both
so
now,
there'll
be
a
stipend.
Yes,
is
this
stipend
like
per
day
or
per
week?
It's
a
weekly
step,
it's
weekly
are
there
limits
on
where
it
has
to
be
out
of
state.
Q
This
particular
one:
it's
travel,
it's
off,
they
really
it's
based
on
their
contract,
so
these
are
off
contract
requests,
so
the
teacher
contract
is
a
190,
and
so
these
requests
are
outside
of
that.
So
this
this
would
be
to
cover
those
off
contract
days.
I
got
it
good,
I'm
good.
C
H
C
Have
a
motion
by
ms
wofford
in
the
second
by
ms
marone
in
the
discussion
all
in
favor

by
saying

I
any
opposed
the
motion
is
approved
by
unanimous
vote
at
this
time.
I
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
so
move.
Second,
have
a
motion
for
miss
wofford
in
a
second
by
miss
marone,
any
discussion
all
in
favor
respond
by
saying,
aye
