November 18, 2019 CCSD Board Meeting
B
A
A
A
Therefore,
we
are
proposing
to
convene
a
select
committee
of
representatives
from
the
district
meet
with
the
Select
Committee
of
the
consolidated
school
board
to
come
up
with
an
amicable
resolution
to
address
this
current
educational
dilemma
and
district

and
at
this
time
I
so

a
second
with
that.
We
recommend.
A
C
E
A
Well,
it's
let's
deal
with
this
motion.
I!
Don't
want
to
get
this
mixed
up
with
anything
else
in
a
week.
Okay,
all
right,
we'll
acknowledge
that
you
have
a
motion
that
you
would
like
to
make.
But
let's
deal
with
the
motion
I
just
made,
it
was
a
second.
Are
there
any
further
questions
hearing
none!
We
ask
that
you
please
cast
your
vote.
E
Phone

today
from
officials
from
the
city
of
North
Charleston
by
representative
sander
Kempton
and
my
house,
members
Mac
and
Pendarvis.
We
would
respectfully
like
to
have
item
6d,
delayed
and
removed
from
the
agenda
for
today
until
we're
able
to
meet
with
city
officials
from
the
city
of
North,
Charleston
House,
members
and
representative
met
with
the
North
Charleston
to
talk
about
the
impact
and
the
situation
deal
with
accelerated
programs
for
our
schools.
F
G
H
G
A
Elevation,
Schools,
6d
acceleration,
Schools

pulled,
and
so
that
a
committee
could
be
convened

further
discussion
affirmed
schools

Typically,
in
our
board
means
we
have
two
sessions
for
public
comment.
This
one
now
is
normally
for
items
that
were
on
the
agenda
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
we
have
comment
for
items
that
are
not
on
the
agenda,
but
since
we
have
lots
of
folks
here
from
many
hues,
which
is
take
it
off
the
agenda,
we're
still
gonna
we're
gonna.
Do
all
the
public
comment
right
now
and
just
as
a
reminder,
no
public
speaker
may
use
public
comment
to
discuss
personnel
matters
or
matters.
Otherwise
private
or
confidential
speakers
are
to
discuss
issues.
B
Not
individual.
The
Chairman
or
designee
is
authorized
to
terminate
any
speakers
time
who
does
not
observe
this
policy
with
two
minutes,
we've
got
like
41
people
to
speak,
so
if
everybody
will
stick
to
their
two-minute
time,
that
would
be
great
and
I'll
call
out
a
few
names
and
y'all
can
line
up
here
behind
the
podium.
So
first
we
have
brand
class-b
charles
glover
rodney
lewis
and
then
dr.
Helen,
Fraser,
so
Fran.
If
you'll
get
us
started.
B
B
D
B
K
Evening,
I'm
Frank
class,
P
and
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
district
20
constituents
school
board
and
first
off
I,
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work,
superintendent
and
board,
and
the
staff,
and
with
that
with
that
said,
I
want
to
keep
it
short
and
say
that
district
20
is
opposed
to
inclusion
of
Burke
High
School
in
the
advanced
academic
program
and
West
Ashley.
Thank
you
thank.
B
M
Need
a
Board
of
Trustees
I
was
just
like
to
say:
we
are
more
than
glad
for
decision
that
has
been
made
to
remove
the
elementary
school
from
being
closed
in
our
district.
A
lot
of
families,
I
could
say,
probably
shouting
right
about
now
because
of
that
removal,
because
it
means
a
lot
to
the
school.
It
has
a
lot
of
history.
M
We
have
a
lot
of
kids
that
have
excelled
an
advancement
all
the
way
through
from
elementary
to
high
school,
that
lawyers,
some
of
doctors,
a
lot
of
officers
that
came
through
the
same
one
school
and
it's
a
privilege
to
say
I.
Thank
you
for
what
you
have
done.
My
understanding
that
there's
a
committee
that
will
be
in
place,
which
I
think
that's
going
back
to
the
consider
board.
M
Four
numbers
taken
for
some
assistant
and
therefore
in
the
future
of
the
district
and
I,
was
like
to
say
thank
you,
because
what
we
were
asking
for
is
not
the
closer
doing
our
face
and
just
to
listen
to
what
the
people
has
to
say
in
our
district.
Just
give
us
a
chance
to
say,
I'll
give
our
opinions
about
what
has
been
done
or
what
needs
to
be
done
in
our
district
and
then
things
would
be
a
whole
lot
more
easier.
Anybody
would
have
a
whole
lot,
a
better
understanding
of
each
other
because
we
live
here.
N
Evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Rodney
Lewis
I'm,
the
chairman
of
district
10,
constituent
school
board,
I'm,
just
going
to
read
to
you
the
letter
that
we
sent
forward
to
the
board
I
read
a
letter.
Read
their
school
board
trustees.
The
district
10
board
members
and
I
are
writing.
Regarding
our
concerns
with
our
middle
schools.
I,
like
you,
want
to
see
all
students
in
our
community
have
the
same
opportunity
to
succeed.
N
Unfortunately,
not
all
our
students
have
been
given
the
same
opportunities
and
I
believe
we
need
to
address
these
concerns
immediately.
Our
board
is
currently
in
the
rezoning
process
for
our
two
middle
schools.
We
have
options
and
we'll
continue
to
work
together
with
as
a
board
to
decide
what
we
feel
is
best
for
our
students.
N
But
the
one
thing
that
we
cannot
overlook
any
longer
is
the
fact
that
one
of
our
middle
schools
is
less
desirable
than
the
other
I
have
had
many
parents
such
reach
out
recently
with
concerned
about
the
rezoning
I
have
read:
I
have
watched,
West
Ashley
middle
school
be
used
as
a
last
resort
for
many
families
it
has
been
the
school
that
you
go
to.
If
you
can't
get
into
any
other
school,
our
board
is
proposing
the
following
for
West
Ashley
middles,
who
middle
school
is
too
has
two
locations.
N
N
The
district
10
board
feels
strongly
that
a
sixth
grade
Academy
and
a
standalone,
7th
and
8th
grade
middle
school
will
be
beneficial
to
the
West
Ashley
community.
This
will
give
every
student
in
district
10
the
equity
they
deserve
from
6th
grade
through
12th
grade.
We
are
willing
to
do
research
on
other
schools
and
can
come
in
the
country
and
6th
grade
only
and
ones
that
are
7th
and
8th
grade
with
your
support
and
assistance.
N
C
O
Evening
I'm,
dr.
Helen,
Frazier
I'm,
former
employee
of
the
district
and
I
serve
on
the
district
23
Board
of
Trustees
I
came
here
tonight
to
mourn
the
death
of
yet
another
black
school
instead
I'm
here
to
thank
you,
we're
so
proud
that
you
made
the
right
decision.
I
also
just
returned
from
Liberia
Africa,
where
I'll
talk
to
my
elders
and
placed
each
of
your
names
in
vogue
so
that
we
could
go
ahead
and
offer
some
solutions
to
the
problem.
I
came
back
with
black
candles
for
each
of
you,
your
name
is
on
the
candle.
O
P
Okay,
good
evening,
doctor
pasa
wait
board
members,
I
am
Joseph
Lee
Matthews,
chair
of
district
23,
I,
retire
veteran
nurse
of
35
years.
I
would
just
like
to
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
to
the
entire
board
for
what
you
have
done
tonight.
As
you
had
a
community
we
are
chairing.
My
heart
is
lifted.
You
know,
I.
We
were
going
through
so
much
with
this.
Our
loss
of
faithful
sure
goes
to
Bethany
and
tears
flow
as
I
was
going
through.
P
Q
Hello
board,
I'm
sure
Quetta.
This
is
my
son
dealing.
We
came
to
express
gratitude
for
removing
it.
I
know
it's
not
over
yet,
but
we
appreciate
the
decision
that
you
made
tonight.
So
with
that
being
said,
I
do
challenge
each
and
every
one
of
you
that's
on
the
board
tonight
to
take
a
trip
to
Young's
island
visit.
Many
Hughes
elementary
school
sit
with
my
son
trip
with
my
nieces
and
my
nephews
see
the
progress
that
they
make
see
the
education
that
they
endure.
I
challenge
you
each
and
every
one
of
you
Paul.
Instead
mrs.
Q
B
R
Evening,
community
members,
families,
parents
and
board
members-
we
are
standing
here
today
as
a
united
front,
asking
that
the
board
delays
their
votes
pertaining
to
mission
critical,
while
some
of
the
suggestions
being
made
could
potentially
bring
forth
some
much-needed
positive
change
to
the
district
CCSD
needs
to
take
a
breath
for
a
moment
and
make
a
real
effort
to
listen
to
the
community.
Ask
yourself
if
you
want
to
go
down
and
hit
the
history
books
as
the
board
that
pushed
through
the
agenda
bought
and
paid
for
by
the
Coalition
for
kids.
R
Or
do
you
want
to
be
known
as
the
board
that
made
a
lasting
impact
on
some
of
our
most
at-risk
schools
and
families?
The
district
will
stand
in
front
of
you
and
say
that
they
made
an
effort
to
listen
to
the
community,
but
the
truth
is
that
many
of
the
parents
at
these
schools
are
just
now
learning
about
these
changes.
We
plead
with
you
to
understand
that
if
you
want
real
meaningful
conversation
with
the
parents
at
a
high-poverty
school,
there
are
multiple
things
that
were
not
taken
into
consideration.
R
These
meetings
need
to
take
place
in
the
schools
that
are
going
to
be
affected.
One
of
the
biggest
concerns
for
neighborhood
schools
is
the
lack
of
transportation.
You
cannot
assume
that
all
of
these
parents
have
the
transportation
to
go
across
town
for
a
meeting.
Many
of
our
parents
also
work
jobs
that
are
part-time,
not
9:00.
To
5:00.
With
these
types
of
jobs,
parents
cannot
just
ask
off
at
the
drop
of
a
hat.
R
They
need
time
to
request
off
I
implore
you
to
give
these
parents
a
true
opportunity
to
first
hear
the
details
of
this
plan,
have
open
dialogue
and
ask
questions
the
listening
session.
That
I
went
to
did
not
allow
parents
the
opportunity
to
ask
questions
and
very
little
information
was
given.
Why
is
this
being
pushed
through
so
quickly,
with
no
transparency
and
very
few
details
being
given
to
the
public?
Well,
I
cannot
speak
for
Hon
Lee
Parker
Lam's
I
am
here
to
represent
Goodwin
elementary
school.
We
are
more
than
just
a
school.
R
We
are
more
than
just
a
community.
We
are
a
family,
we
don't
ever
claim
to
be
perfect,
but
we
have
built
a
family
that
many
schools
dream
of
working
for
a
title.
One
school
is
an
honor
that
I
am
so
thankful
to
have,
but
this
job
is
more
than
just
a
job.
This
job
is
my
life.
These
kids
are
my
life
and
these
families
are
my
family.
R
S
L
Good
afternoon
again,
I'm
Coleman
Jacobson
I
want
to
say
that
real
thankful
for
the
decision
that
you're
rich,
because
the
many
years
family
neighborhood
were
in
tears.
They
do
not
want
our
school
clothes.
I
speak
in
behalf
of
the
many
huge
community,
the
churches
in
the
community,
many
huge
area
and
also,
in
behalf
of
the
Baptist
o
High
School,
Alumni
Association.
We
appreciate
your
support.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
S
T
My
name
is
Laura
Russell
and
I'm.
The
mother
of
three
students
currently
attending
a
West
Ashley
elementary
school.
Our
family
is
firmly
rooted
in
West
Ashley
and
acutely
aware
of
the
necessity
to
affect
positive
change
in
our
schools,
especially
at
the
middle
school
level.
The
phrase
proper
planning
prevents
poor
performance
is
a
favorite
of
my
father's
and
one
that
repeatedly
ran
through
my
head
at
last
week's
meeting
as
I
listened
to
three
of
your
board
members
ask
important
questions
regarding
the
motions
that
you'll
vote
on
tonight.
The
best
answers
they
received
were
vague.
T
The
current
proposal
to
merge
our
middle
schools
is
undoubtedly
well-intentioned,
but
rushed
before
you
vote
today.
I
ask
you
to
consider
the
research
and
data
available
and
if
it
is
sufficient
to
ensure
the
success
of
the
roughly
twelve
hundred
students
that
this
change
will
affect
our
supports
in
place
regarding
budget
transportation,
issues,
teacher
and
student
resources,
Advanced,
Studies
programs
and
special
needs
programs
shouldn't.
T
You
know
how
we
will
merge
these
schools
before
you
vote
yes
or
no,
as
I
was
always
taught
as
a
child
and
I
teach
my
children
now
to
know
the
waters
depth
before
you
dive
in
I.
Urge
you
today
to
pause,
collect
adequate
information
share
it
with
concerned
constituents
and,
most
importantly,
the
educators
that
will
be
tasked
with
carrying
out
this
change.
T
U
Have
one
son
and
three
grandchildren
one
is
not
here,
he's
a
three
old
that
attends
many
who's
I.
We
came
today
to
voice
our
opinions,
but
instead
because
God's
grace
is
sufficient,
we
say
thank
you
for
removing
this
proposal.
My
grandson
attends
a
headstart.
That
program
has
done
wonders
for
him.
He
is
three
years
old.
He
speaks
on
the
vocabulary
level
of
this
five
year
old
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
and
just
leave
many
views
alone.
B
V
Right
good
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
dr.
pol
State
Board,
thank
you
for
being
here
once
again,
I'm
here
imploring
the
integrity.
The
transparency
of
this
process
has
been
unacceptable.
We
must
allow
light
to
shine
on
the
special
interests
at
play.
There
is
a
lot
of
money,
millions
of
dollars
on
the
line,
as
you
well
know,
with
these
privatization
partnerships,
public
partnerships,
as
you
like
to
call
them,
or
acceleration
zones
or
innovation
zones
or
I,
believe
we
began
as
effective
approaches,
and
then
it
became
comprehensive
operations.
V
In
fact,
on
August
5th,
this
board
here
debated
the
timeline
for
proposals,
acknowledging
that
these
drop-dead
dates
our
board
created
constructs.
You
debated
sufficient
time
for
your
bidders
to
prepare
their
proposals.
You
debated
sufficient
time
for
proposals
to
be
brought
individually
before
this
board
for
public
discussion.
V
Mr.
holland's
had
asked
I
believe
that
these
proposals
be
delayed
for
public
input
was
denied.
The
legislation
delegation
asked
that
this
be
slowed
down.
It
was
denied.
There
is
a
sense
of
urgency,
be
not
fooled.
There
is
only
a
temporary
provision
in
the
2019
2020
state
budget
that
allows
for
a
school
district
to
have
more
than
one
partnership
school
labeled
as
a
school
of
choice
in
the
regulations.
V
B
W
Hi,
my
name
is
Monica
Barton
and
I
have
three
children,
two
of
which
currently
attend
a
West
Ashley
elementary
school
as
a
part
of
this
community
I'm
very
aware
of
the
need
for
positive
change
in
our
schools,
especially
for
middle
school.
However,
the
vote
for
a
middle
school
merger
on
the
agenda
today
seems
to
say
the
least,
very
rushed
and
poorly
planned
out,
despite
how
well-intentioned
it
may
be.
15
years
ago,
when
Drayton
Hall
was
converted
to
an
elementary
school
fifth
and
sixth
graders
were
housed
on
one
campus
and
seventh
and
eighth
graders
on
another.
W
This
proved
to
be
a
disaster,
and
after
only
two
years,
it
disbanded
in
traditional
middle
schools
once
more.
What
solid
plans
are
there
to
prevent
this
from
happening
in
the
future?
Again,
what
are
the
statistics
that
prove
this
to
be
a
good
move?
My
oldest
child
is
petrified
enough
of
the
many
changes
that
come
with
middle
school
in
general.
Having
to
start
a
new
school
two
years
in
a
row
is
even
more
intimidating.
How
does
this
scenario
benefit
the
child?
Please
I
implore.
W
The
decisions
of
this
magnitude
should
be
thought
through
with
complete
transparency
to
the
general
public,
especially
to
the
constituents
it
impacts.
The
most
the
letter
read
earlier
by
Rodney
Bell
is
not
how
a
large
portion
of
the
parents
in
West
Ashley
feel
and
I
respectfully
ask
for
more
time
for
research
and
proper
plans
to
be
put
in
place
to
benefit
every
child,
not
just
one
group
or
another.
To
be
honest
as
a
very
involved
parent,
even
I
was
ignorant
to
this
merger
until
just
last
week.
W
X
Currently
at
jana
at
eb
ellington
as
it
stands,
there
is
nine
buses
there
now
that's
merging
into
one
way:
traffic
wit
cars
and
at
three
o'clock,
sometimes
I'm,
sitting
on
17
just
to
pick
up
my
grandsons.
So
we
will
still
have
this
issue
and
as
a
community
grows,
the
issue
will
become
greater,
so
I
need
you
to
consider
in
the
future.
If
we
come
across
this
again
to
do
the
same,
please
and
in
light
of
all
of
the
changing
I,
also
do
ask
that
you
consider
the
same.

Y

J
Name
is
Kenyon
mechanic
and
I
am
a
5th
gear
that
admitted
use
element.
I
have
a
student
council.
President
I
said
before
you
to
represent
my
school
trust
accounting
school
just
fit
closing
millions
down,
won't
impact,
my
classmates
and
I,
and
also
our
school
community,
because
just
has
been
home
to
our
community
for
a
long
time.
Personally,
it
has
been
him
to
miss
his
head
start.
Some
of
my
parents
have
grandparents
that
faithfully
dropped
their
grandchildren
off
to
school
every
day
because
they
want
their
grandchildren.
J
A
part
of
the
family
I
mean
it
is,
and
it's
there
to
pick
them
up.
Many
news
is
really
reliable
for
grandparents
in
the
community
of
Hollywood.
The
board
wants
me
lose
too
much
interest.
In
reality,
we
have
to
think
about
grandparents
who
are
not
able
to
drive
or
transport
their
grandchildren
all
the
way
to
having
them
just
for
their
grandchildren
to
be
educated
and
attend
school.
J
You
have
to
think
about
whether
the
student
go
to
evil
and
saying
don't
see.
Teachers
are
dancing
all
these
years
and
has
it
become
a
part
of
their
daily
lives?
Our
school
is
a
passive
school
which
we
have
worked
hard
for
many
whose
has
been
a
school
and
a
part
of
the
community
for
over
30
years.
I
fear
the
classrooms
that
Ellen
Tate
are
going
to
be
to
over
card
with
students
making
it
hard
to
achieve
success.
It
will
be
so
uncomfortable
for
the
other.
J
J
J
Q
AA
Good
afternoon
board,
I
just
first
want
to
say
thank
you
again
for
making
this
decision
to
pull
many
hues
off
the
table
for
right
now.
I
would
ask
that
you
consider
to
take
many
hues
off
the
table
altogether.
The
closing
of
many
hues
would
be
a
great
would
be
a
great
disgrace
to
the
town
of
Hollywood
these
children
when
they
go
to
that
school.
It's
their
home
away
from
home
they're
very
for
me,
with
the
staff
they're
very
for
me,
with
the
community
it'll
be
a
great
disservice
to
close
many
hues.
AA
I
would
also
ask
that
when
you
go
to
make
these
decisions,
think
about
that
little
boy,
think
about
him
standing
here
and
him
having
to
talk
about
his
school
being
closed.
How
that
affects
him
all
of
us
here,
even
you
guys
in
your
positions,
it's
for
the
betterment
of
the
children,
not
ourselves,
so
I
would
ask
that
you
continue
to
think
about
our
community,
our
children
and
their
future.
Thank
you.
AB
Evening
board
of
trustees
and
superintendent
post
away.
Thank
you
for
your
hard
work
and
endurance
during
this
challenging
time
of
change.
My
name
is
Diane
Takata
Powell
I'm
standing
before
you
today
with
two
of
my
children
who
attend
d20
schools,
to
ask
that
you
all
the
board
and
CCSD
staff
get
on
the
same
page
regarding
acceleration
schools
and
please
communicate
more
clearly
on
your
intentions.
AB
My
understanding
is
one
you're
seeking
waivers
from
the
state
for
flexibility
for
these
acceleration
schools
and
two
you're
seeking
partners
for
these
acceleration
schools.
But
some
of
you
and
many
public
school
advocates
are
saying
acceleration.
Schools
are
equivalent
to
public-private
partnerships
or
charter
take
over
take
overs,
of
which
there
is
very
little
public
support,
especially
by
those
of
us
who
actually
have
children
in
these
acceleration
schools.
I
agree.
We
must
significantly
and
sustainably
improve
district
student
outcomes.
AB
If
you
move
forward
with
the
acceleration
schools,
then
please
allow
representatives
from
each
schools
si
si
or
PTSA
or
title
and
planning
committees
the
community
to
have
a
seat
at
the
table,
so
we
can
be
engaged
and
involved
in
the
process
of
selecting
these
partners
for
our
schools.
Allow
us
to
have
input
into
the
decisions
that
will
decide.
The
fate
for
our
children's
education
include
us.
Engage
us,
re-establish
trust
with
us.
Give
us
a
seat
at
your
table.
Please
it
is
our
children's
lives
that
are
at
stake.
Thank
you.
AC
We
don't
want
to
see
the
same
thing
happening
again.
Two
years
from
now
I
know:
Charlton,
County,
school
district
have
tricks
up
their
sleeves
and
and
if
all
of
that
happened,
you're
going
to
see
me
here
again
and
not
only
here,
wherever
is
necessary-
that
we
have
to
have
to
be
I
came
here
to
argue
but
I
the
proposer
kind
of
took
their
Wedd
out
of
a
seal,
but
we
what
was
going
on
as
we
you're
draining
the
black
community,
no
offense,
but
you're
draining
the
black
community
of
Education,
and
we
love
our
kids
too.
AC
We
love
our
kids
too
many
who
don't
need
too
much
with
no
Evie
Ellington
addition
of
two
four
or
five
our
babies
have
been
said
a
hundred
times
here,
but
we
are
keep
saying
it
we'll
keep
saying
it
I'd
like
to
thank
everyone
for
the
prayer,
because
any
prayer
goes
a
long
ways
if
you
don't
believe
it
for
us.
Prayer
came
ahead
of
us
and
cause
that
proposal
and
I,
and
we
know
it
so
if
you
don't
believe
in
prayer,
if
you
don't
believe
prayer
works,
start
praying
start
praying
many.
AC
Many
use
is
a
good
school
and
we
don't
want
to
lose
it.
Don't
close,
it
I
like
to
have
the
names
of
some
of
the
board
members
on
there.
So
I
don't
want
to
be
your
enemy.
I
want
to
be
friends,
so
we
can
talk
and
I'll
try
to
discuss
these
things.
I
don't
have
a
name
or
a
number
for
any
of
you.
Guys.
Yeah
and
I
would
like
to
hug
that
I'm
going
to
speak
to
one
of
the
board
members
and
see,
could
I
get
to
chain
of
China
commander.
You
got
thank.
AC
AC
AD
First
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you,
tonight's,
a
victory
for
many
hues,
but
our
district
23
community.
We
still
stand
strong
with
every
other
district,
that's
affected
by
your
sweeping
changes.
We
stand
with
the
with
the
Coalition
for
educational
transparency.
For
that
group,
we
thank
you
and
we
will
stand
strong
again
with
other
communities
that
are
affected
by
these
changes
and
I
just
want
to
show
you
share
a
story
with
you:
I'm
a
graduate
of
many
hues,
I'm
a
graduate
of
back
to
Seoul
High
School
in
89.
Roughly
eighty
nine.
AD
Ninety
I
heard
that
John
Graham
Altman
school
board
member
called
students
in
my
community
brain-dead
I
graduated
from
North
Carolina
A&T,
State,
University
I'm,
a
proud
HBCU
grad
of
that
University
I
was
in
the
Air
Force
ROTC
program,
fast
forward
to
my
career
in
the
Air
Force
15
years
later,
when
I
learned
that
I
made
the
rank
of
lieutenant
colonel
I
called
my
husband.
The
second
phone
call
was
to
mr.
John
Graham
almond
I,
told
him
that
this
brain-dead
girl
made
it
to
build
a
tenant.
Colonel
I
wanted
him
to
know.
AD
I
wanted
him
to
know
the
impact
of
not
believing
and
students
in
district
23
and
how
that
motivated
me.
No
child
should
have
to
stand
here
before
you
to
beg
for
their
basic
human
right
to
have
an
education
I
was
that
kid
I
graduated
with
not
only
with
my
bachelor's
degree
but
I
have
a
master's
degree
in
human
resource
management
and
a
Masters
of
Science
degree
in
strategic
leadership
from
the
Air
Force
Institute
of
Technology
that
didn't
come
by
easy,
I
didn't
get
the
foundation.
AE
B
AF
Good
evening,
everyone
it's
been
a
while
and
I.
Don't
relish
the
fact
that
I'm
here
again
to
date
at
all,
let's
make
it
perfectly
clear
that
had
the
voice
of
the
people
been
heeded
when
they
came
here
last
week
and
this
week
again
it
had
that
voice
been
heated
when
these
plans
were
being
made
already,
we
might
not
have
to
be
hear
about
many
use,
but
the
voice
of
the
people
has
not
been
listened
to.
AF
In
the
same
way,
the
disrespect
of
our
legislators
was
just
once
again
shown
by
this
august
body
by
not
giving
them
the
ear
that
they
requested.
These
are
our
state
legislators
who
represent
us
just
in
the
same
capacity
that
you
are
supposed
to
represent
us
just
to
give
them
an
ear
on
the
issue
and
delay
moving
forward.
What's
the
rush?
AF
B
AG
First
of
all,
I
always
told
myself.
If
I
was
ever
given
a
platform
I'd,
let
my
voice
be
heard.
I
grew
up
in
Columbia,
South
Carolina
I
grew
up
in
the
public
school
systems.
I
moved
in
the
Charleston
about
15
a
little
over
16
years
ago.
Coming
through
the
city,
I
came
through
Mount,
Pleasant
I
came
through
Goose
Creek
and
my
eyes
were
wide
and
I
would,
in
the
odd
and
the
closer
and
closer
I
got
to
downtown
North
Charleston.
AG
Listening
to
that
baby
talk,
the
only
thing
I
can
say
is
listen
to
the
kids,
because
I
was
one
of
those
children
that
came
through
that
system
through
the
school
system.
I
do
know
and
I
paid
attention
that
most
of
my
classmates
were
predominantly
white
as
I
looked
and
paid
attention
that
my
black
classmates
I
realized
that
my
reading
material
was
the
same
as
my
white
classmates,
but
not
the
same
as
my
black
classmates.
AG
So,
while
I'm
sitting
in
my
classroom,
I
was
that
student
who
always
raised
her
head
and
I
was
always
on
the
edge
of
my
seat,
because
I
knew
the
answer
and
I
wanted
that
I
wanted
to
have
my
voice
and
I
wanted
to.
Let
them
know
what
I
knew,
and
after
years,
not
days
not
weeks,
not
moments.
But
after
years
of
being
overlooked
by
my
teachers,
I
actually
wondered
if
my
teachers
were
actually
meant
to
teach
me
or
if
they
were
waiting
me
to
fail
by
the
time.
AG
So
when
I
stand
here
today,
I
stand
here
as
a
parent
who
those
transparencies
that
nobody
else
saw
I
picked
up
on
and
I
paid
attention
to
and
I
made
sure
not
to
allow
my
children
go
through
that.
So
yes,
right
now,
I
do
have
a
child
at
a
charter
school,
but
guess
what
it's
no
better
than
the
rest
of
them
and
I
also
have
a
child
at
a
white
poor
school,
but
guess
what
that's
no
better
than
the
rest
of
them
either.
So,
as
he
said,
I'm
not
thanking
anybody
for
not
doing
anything
until.
G
U
AH
We're
here
today
to
say:
first
parents
care
about
their
children,
but
that
statement
does
not
relieve
parents
of
their
contribution
to
the
educational
success
of
their
kids.
Secondly,
there
is
enough
blame
to
go
around,
but
ultimately,
the
responsibility
of
our
children's
ability
to
read,
write
and
do
math
rests
on
our
education
system,
because
parents
are
legally
obligated
to
send
their
children
to
school
and,
lastly,
inequity
has
created
the
achievement
and
opportunity
gap
that
has
to
be
eliminated
not
eliminated
eradicated.
AH
This
is
living
proof,
the
systemic
progress
of
policies
and
practices
which
excuse
me,
which
promoted
racism
and
segregation
set
forth
before
any
of
us
in
this
room
were
born,
are
doing
exactly
what
it
is
not
designed
to
do
and
that's
educate,
affluent
white
children.
We
are
all
victims
of
a
multi-generational
curse
that
brainwashed
us
into
thinking
that
improving
upon
what
we
already
have
will
yield
different
results
for
all
children.
That's
simply
not
true.
AH
AI
Good
evening
my
name
is
Barbara
Middleton
I
come
here
just
to
say
thank
you
for
pulling
it
from
the
agenda
tonight.
We
know
it's
not
going
to
be
finished
here,
but
we
would
like
to
just
say
thank
you.
I'd
come
here
as
a
grandparent
and
how
it
will
impact
young
man
that
spoke.
I
came
in
with
a
whole
new
agenda.
I
had
notes
written
down.
As
you
see,
I
came
up
here
with
nothing
now
I
think
he
said
it
all.
AI
We
I
was
concerned
about
the
our
the
quality
of
education,
the
distance
our
children
would
have
to
commute
and
I
also
was
just
concerned
about
the
heads
thought
program.
Where
would
these
children
go?
I
meet
grandparents
on
a
daily
basis
when
I
go
to
drop
off,
my
three-year-old
I
meet
more
grandparents
than
I
do
parents
because
the
parents
have
to
go
to
work
and
commute
and
with
the
distance
thank
God.
AI
There
are
some
grandparents
that
can
step
in
and
help
our
young
parents
and
I
like
to
tell
you
that
many
huge
and
I'm
going
to
tell
you
this
little
quick
story,
because
I
had
a
five-year-old
that
went
there
in
kindergarten
she
wasn't
reading.
But
when
my
walk
in
that
class
and
I
told
her
what
she
was
doing,
miss
small
says:
don't
worry
about
it.
I
know:
vemma
she'll
be
reading
August
from
August
and
November.
My
five-year-old
was
reading
fluently
and
three
months
she
came
to
this
board
down
here.
AI
S
AJ
Board
members
and
superintendent.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention.
My
name
is
Jennifer
Hays
and
I'm
here
tonight,
as
a
resident
of
West
Ashley
and
a
mother
of
two
children
in
the
district,
ten
schools
I
am
here
to
ask
for
your
support
and
voting
no
on
the
second
vote
to
consolidate
the
West
Ashley
middle
schools.
I
am
not
opposed
to
this
proposal
and
I
certainly
support
the
goal
of
equity
for
all
of
our
children,
but
I
cannot
be
in
support
of
this
action.
AJ
Yet
as
not
enough,
research
or
thought
has
occurred
to
ensure
a
successful
outcome
for
all
of
our
children.
I
attended
the
district,
10
constituent
board
meeting
last
Thursday
in
order
to
earn
in
order
to
learn
more
information
about
this
plan
and
the
board
members
and
the
district
staff
were
not
able
to
answer
my
questions.
This
idea
has
not
been
developed
beyond
the
idea
phase
and
while
it
might
be
the
right
solution
for
our
children,
there
has
been
no
study
of
advantages
and
disadvantages.
No
analysis
of
community
or
teacher
support
among
other
basic
planning
items.
AJ
B

Okay,
good
evening
superintendent
and
chairman
Mac
and
members
of
the
Charleston
County
School
District
Board
of
Trustees,
my
name
is
sherry,
East
and
I'm,
a
high
school
science
teacher
that
has
taught
in
the
public
schools
of
South
Conner
for
27
years
I'm.
Currently
this
the
South
Carolina
Education
Association,
president
and
I'm
in
my
second
year.
We
appreciate
your
efforts
to
provide
quality
education
for
all
the
students
that
you
serve
in
this
district.
While
change
is
hard
to
implement,
major
changes
have
an
increased
need
for
community
acceptance.
S
We
need
to
include
the
parents,
the
teachers,
the
community
leaders
and
their
elected
officials
in
these
decisions.
Success
will
only
come
if
all
these
states
holders
are
working
together
for
the
common
goal
of
providing
what's
best
for
the
students.
It
is
not
only
what
you
do
that
matters,
but
it's
how
you
do
it.
Our
ask
tonight
is
simple
that
you
foster
an
environment
of
collaboration
and
transparency
with
all
the
stakeholders
as
you
move
forward.
Please
do
your
research
on
your
charter
schools
as
you
move
forward.
S
If
you
move
forward
with
that
process,
I
can
tell
you
a
lot
of
stories
from
our
state
affiliates
that
have
went
down
that
road
and
wish
they
hadn't.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
attention
to
this
important
topic.
The
SCA
is
willing
to
assist
in
any
way
possible
and
would
like
to
work
with
you
to
improve
the
academic
achievements
of
the
students
for
Charleston
County.
Thank
you.
Thank.
AD
G
AL
The
plan
is
not
fully
fleshed
out
yet
until
it's
approved
by
the
board,
but
I
would
like
to
say
that
it
does
sound
like
it
could
be
a
good
thing
for
the
meminger
student
body
if
it's
implemented
the
way
that
it
was
described
to
us
in
that
meeting.
But
I
would
like
to
request,
on
behalf
of
the
meminger
si
si
that
we
and
the
teachers
be
involved
in
any
further
planning.
I
can't
think
of
anyone
in
a
better
position
to
describe
exactly
what
is
needed
to
foster
student
success
than
the
teachers.
AL
I
would
also
like
to
request
that
manager
be
removed
from
consideration
for
becoming
acceleration
or
a
partnership.
School
I
think
it's
important
to
focus
on
implementing
the
new
advanced
academic
program
with
fidelity
and
introducing
the
additional
variables
that
would
come
along
with
becoming
an
acceleration
or
partnership.
School
would
only
serve
to
muddy
the
water,
and
can
we
please
have
a
principal.
AL
B
AK
First,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
and
I
want
to
say
that
it
was
a
great
honor
to
be
asked
to
represent
the
community
of
many
use
and
a
wonderful
group
of
people,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
decision
today.
I
want
to
especially
thank
chairman
Mac.
It
takes
a
big
man
that
changes
mind
and
in
many
ways
we
saw
America
working
tonight.
AK
So
please
don't
rush
things
I'm.
Also
here
tonight,
on
behalf
of
representative
Brown
and
I
like
to
say
it's
good
to
know,
we
have
people
representing
us
in
our
legislature
like
him
he's
everything
you
want
in
somebody,
and
he
thanks
you
profoundly
for
what
you
did
in
listening
to
the
voice
of
the
community.
He
looks
forward
to
working
with
you
and
that,
as
you
have
that
committee
to
decide
what
to
do
and
I
urge
you
strongly.
You
heard
very
eloquent.
AK
AM
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
I
was
actually
prepared
for
this
decision.
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
it
again.
One
thing
that
you
mentioned
was
creating
a
collaborative
effort
between
the
board
members
and
the
community
and
in
preparation
for
that.
I've
actually
created
somewhat
of
an
improvement
plan,
basically
taken
from
some
of
the
district
level
standards
and
school
level
standards,
and
some
of
the
things
that
I
would
like
to
work
with
the
community
in
partnership
with
the
district,
is
creating
an
individual
vision
statement.
AM
I
know
that
as
school
board
members
and
a
superintendent
you're
tasked
with
larger
objectives
as
far
as
needs,
but
with
Charleston
kind
of
being
such
a
large
and
diverse
district
I'm
sure
you
all
will
agree
that
we
have
unique
needs
in
many
hues.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
create
our
own
vision,
creating
our
own
climate
and
culture
methods
for
community
engagement.
We
want
to
talk
about
fiscal
management,
also
intervention
and
enrichment
resources
and
activities.
AM
A
lot
of
things
that
we
talk
about
involves
intervention
in
talking
about
low-performing,
kids,
but
one
thing
that's
often
overlooked
is
we
have
high-performing
students
in
that
in
the
district
and
Marsha
and
others
are
examples
of
that
and
I
think
that
if
we
had
resources
and
activities
involved
for
enrichment
activities
for
the
high-performing
kids,
a
lot
of
parents
won't
want
to
take
their
kids
away
from
the
region.
That's
why
the
attendance
falls.
AM
We
want
to
provide
resources
for
curriculum
instruction,
to
empower
all
the
stakeholders
in
the
areas
of
parents,
our
constituent
board
members,
teachers
of
course,
and
everyone
else
so
that
they
can
help
you
help
them.
And
finally,
we
want
to
talk
about
accountability,
measures
and
benchmarks.
Well,
we
set
these
goals
together
we
can
create
benchmarks
for
improvement
and
then,
if
some
things
aren't
done,
we
can
talk
about
different
strategies
moving
forward.
But
that
is
my
time.
Thank
you.
AN
Hi,
as
some
of
you
might
recall,
I've
been
before
the
board
before
asking
for
some
positive
examples
of
some
of
the
partnerships
that
might
come
out
of
these
solicitations
for
interest.
I
still
haven't
received
any
positive
examples
from
the
board
members
when
I
emailed
to
ask
for
them.
So
I
decided
to
take
a
closer
look
at
one
of
the
solicitations
for
interest
under
consideration.
One
from
an
organization
that
I
have
read
very
concerning
things
about
noble
education
initiative.
AN
This
organization
is
essentially
a
spin-off
of
a
for-profit
organization
called
charter
schools,
USA,
which
was
ostensibly
created
to
dodge
the
negative
reputations
at
for-profit
charters
have
gained
across
the
nation.
The
solicitation
is
full
of
many
of
the
same
vague
language
and
euphemisms
that
the
superintendent
has
used
in
past
meetings
to
describe
acceleration
zones
and
partnerships.
AN
Nei
has
a
very
short
existence.
It
was
only
founded
in
in
2017
again,
ostensibly
because
of
a
way
to
sort
of
get
around
the
negative
reputations
of
the
for-profit
organization
that
most
of
its
employees
used
to
work.
For
because
of
that,
because
of
its
very
short
existence,
the
very
positive
statistics
that
it
provides
to
demonstrate
its
effectiveness
in
schools
is
already
partnered
with
our
really
statistically
insignificant.
They
haven't
been
around
enough
to
show
us
that
these
results
are
long-term,
that
they
provide
lasting
improvements
for
our
children
and
for
our
schools.
AN
By
looking
at
this
one
example,
it's
given
me
even
more
pause
about
the
idea
of
partnerships.
I
don't
have
time
to
look
at
all
the
examples.
I
hope
that
you
all
just
slow
down
the
process.
Vote
no
on
the
current
round
of
partnerships,
cut
off
future
solicitations
and
we're
with
the
student
improvement
councils
to
do
things
that
we're
already
doing
and
trying
to
work
on
to
improve
the
schools.
We
don't
need
to
bring
in
people
from
outside
entities.
AN
AO
My
name
is
Reagan
turbos
Morris.
Thank
you
for
being
here
this
evening.
I'm,
the
mother
of
two
children
in
district
10
process
is
the
main
issue
with
the
proposed
merger
and
splinter
of
middle
schools
in
district
10.
While
many
teachers,
parents,
administrators
and
residents
participated
in
mission
critical
discussions
this
summer
rejecting
the
merger
and
attended
the
community
listening
sessions,
this
fall.
AO
Where
conversations
that
occurred
at
two
meetings
in
September
and
October,
without
community
engagement,
when
it
was
determined
that
an
easy
solution
to
rezoning
could
not
be
formulated
mainly
due
to
a
lack
of
a
second
quality
middle
school
building,
a
proposal
was
sorted
on
1031
to
this
board
to
study
the
merger
of
the
middle
school's.
Rezoning
processes
are
not
easy
and
we
are
not
sure
why
this
was
rushed
through
without
community
input,
representing
the
the
support
of
the
parents
of
in
West
Ashley,
and
this
was
not
the
case.
AO
Constituent
district
board
10
could
not
easily
rezone
the
middle
schools,
so
they
are
pushing
the
burden
onto
school
administrators
teachers,
students
and
parents
to
make
it
work
without
a
plan.
The
further
fragmentation
of
the
middle
school
system
in
West
Ashley
will
not
only
serve
to
limit
the
pipeline
of
students
to
the
high
school
level
and
result
in
achievement
issues,
especially
as
CEO
Williams
will
open
at
capacity
or
overcrowded
and
West.
Ashley
middle
will
still
be
operating
in
one
of
the
worst
buildings
in
the
county
for
many
years
to
come.
AO
This
process
has
been
tried
previously,
with
consolidations
of
5th
and
6th
graders,
followed
by
the
creation
of
middle
schools
that
further
inequity
due
to
a
lack
of
infrastructure
investment.
We
demand
a
rezoning
process,
be
conducted
that
accounts
for
the
immediate
need
of
a
new
West
Ashley
middle
school
building,
with
input
from
the
whole
community
prior
to
decisions
being
made
by
the
constituent
board
and
sent
to
this
board
for
implementation.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
B
AP
Listen
I
want
to
I
want
to
say
this
I
hope
the
people
and
I
want
to
say
this
to
the
many
hues
right.
I
want
you
to
watch
what's
going
on
here
in
Charleston
County,
which
what
they're
talking
about
is
combining
two
schools,
we're
talking
about
combining
West,
Ashley
middle
school
and
C
Williams
middle
school
and
you're
hearing
all
these
problems,
that's
supposed
to
come
out
with
studies.
The
only
difference
between
these
two
middle
schools
is
West.
Ashley
middle
school
is
50.
It
has
five
hundred
and
forty-one
kids
at
60%.
AP
Black
C
Williams
middle
school
has
664
at
38%
black,
the
only
problem
they
have
with
these
magnet
and
charter.
Schools
is
if
they
lose
their
magnet
in
charter,
that
the
number
of
black
kids
are
attending.
These
schools
will
go
up.
That's
why
you're
hearing
this?
We
need
more
studies.
Let
me
give
you
some
other
facts
that
you
did
not
know.
Cuz
I'm
gonna
tell
you
the
truth.
The
reason
why
your
school
is
in
danger.
You
have
low
enrollment.
AP
This
is
not
being
picked
on
because
y'all
black,
this
is
any
school
that
has
245
students
or
less,
is
in
danger
of
closing.
But
you
need
to
ask
the
kids
that
the
students
and
the
parents
at
low
country
leadership
why
at
their
school
523-
and
you
only
have
75
black
kids
and
that's
in
a
predominantly
black
neighborhood?
How
does
that
happen?
But
we
got
the
same
problem
going
on
here.
Let
me
read
you
something:
prestige:
schools.
AP
AP
What's
going
on,
these
are
not
commodities
are
being
done
systematically
for
our
kids,
we're
not
getting
the
education
that
they're
being
offering
and
the
problem
they
have
is
if
they
lose
their
magnet
school
guess
what
you're
fighting
for
your
school
if
they
lose
their
magnet
in
their
charter,
they
don't
lose
teachers,
they
don't
lose
a
building,
they
don't
lose.
The
curriculum.
The
only
thing
happens
is
that
they
have
to
have
the
neighborhood
kids
come
to
their
school.
Unfortunately,
the
neighborhood
kids
to
them
are
black.
AP
AQ
And
now
we're
fighting
over
slots
for
Cu
Williams,
because
West
Ashley
middle
school
isn't
supposed
to
be
good
enough.
Well
tell
me
this:
if
West
Ashley
middle
school
is
an
undesirable
school,
how
is
sending
every
sixth
grader
there
gonna
make
it
better
show
me
the
plan
for
that
and
we'll
go
for
it,
but
until
then
you
know
you
all
get
an
incomplete.
You
need
to
go
back.
AQ
You
need
to
do
your
research,
you
need
to
cite
your
work
and
you
need
to
show
us
what
is
gonna
happen,
because
we
can't
accept
a
promise
based
on
a
promise,
that's
vague
and
without
any
detail.
So
we
want
to
work
with
you
in
the
community.
We
realize
that
we
have
two
different
middle
schools
and
we
want
to
make
all
of
those
Middle
School's
good.
We
really
need
three
middle
schools
in
West
Ashley.
AQ
So,
let's
step
back
for
a
second
and
have
the
community
brought
to
the
table,
I
don't
have
anything
else
to
add
with
what
folks
have
added
already
I
just
want
to
leave
with
one
thought
and
the
question
I.
Have
that
haunts
me
every
night
is:
why
is
it
that
we
have
these
incredibly
successful
schools
that
we
fail
to
replicate
across
the
district?
AR
AR
Good
evening,
I
want
to
speak
about
the
acceleration
schools
that
you
all
want
to
vote
on.
First
of
all,
the
acceleration
schools
have
them
put
up.
A
lot
of
those
schools
have
been
put
under
state
supervision
and
clearly
I
believe
North,
Charleston,
High
School,
and
so
the
state
delegation
asked
for
you
all
to
slow
down
and
let
them
look
at
these.
What
these
proposals
are?
You
have
15
schools
and
a
lot
of
those
schools
are
or
under
supervision
by
the
state.
AR
So
I
asked
I
joined
with
the
state
delegation
and
I
asked
that
you
all
the
board
pause
on
the
vote
on
these
items.
Just
as
delegation
ask
you
to
pause
on
these
votes,
because,
ultimately,
the
board
here
is
under
under
the
state
of
South
Carolina.
Ultimately,
so
the
reason
I
ask
you
all
this
to
pause
on.
This
is
because,
once
again,
we
have
some
programs
that
work
in
Southside
school
district,
for
example,
I
remember
when
I
was
going
around
with
Priscilla
Jeffery
and
looking
at
Garrett
Academy
technology.
AR
We
had
a
technology
trade
school
in
Charleston
County
that
got
double
gold
standard
ratings
and
was
it
was
improving
and
and
the
board
members
here
didn't
even
know
why
they
were
closing
it.
It's
still
open
right
now
and
instead
of
acceleration
schools,
let's
look
at
what's
working
and
keep
Garret
open.
I
have
a
petition
here
of
1,200
same
signers
with
comments.
I
want
to
submit
to
the
board
here
why
we
should
keep
Garrett
the
trade
school
open
and
we
know
when
he
trades.
AR
AR
So
I
ask
you
to
pause
the
vote
from
items
items
6d
items
a2
through
K
I
believe
it
is
so
that
the
delegation
can
look
over
this,
and
so
the
community
can
look
over
this
so
that
the
community
members
in
North
Charleston
can
look
over
this.
So
the
community
members
in
downtown
Charleston
can
look
over
this
and
we're
going
to
be
watching
who
votes
on
what
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
AS
Good
evening
board
members
in
dr.
Paul,
su8
I'm
speaking
tonight
for
the
quality
education
project,
whose
purpose
is
to
advocate
for
equity
access
and
excellent
for
all
students.
The
recent
proposal
to
engage
in
partnership
operators
to
improve
public
education
in
Charleston
County
is
a
problematic
and
deceptive
approach
to
solve
our
educational
needs.
Qep
believes
that
supporting
private
partnership
operators
will
result
in
failure
from
the
first
list
of
approved
solicitations.
AS
It's
obvious
that
the
district
is
considering
for
management
companies
for
the
title,
one
schools
in
the
acceleration
district
that
are
intent
on
making
a
5
to
15%
profit
from
our
tax
dollars.
Yes,
we
know-
and
you
know
what
our
best
practices
for
our
schools
and
that's
what
we
need
to
focus
on.
However,
increasing
the
number
of
partners
the
district
works
with
adds
an
unmanageable
layer
of
bureaucracy
and
opens
the
district
to
selecting
partners
who
are
mismanaging
schools
in
other
districts.
AS
As
we
research
the
companies
that
are
submitting
proposals,
we
are
finding
all
kinds
of
instances
where
there
are
problems
in
other
communities
and
other
school
districts
that
are
laden
with
lawsuits.
Finally,
use
the
valuable
resources
to
address
the
deeper
systemic
issues.
New
community
partners
are
it
needed
to
advocate
for
our
students,
but
these
are
community
partners,
not
business
partners
instead
of
the
third-party
partnerships
that
ultimately
privatize
our
public
schools
and
profit
from
managing
our
title:
1
schools,
the
district
should
work
to
lobby
legislators
in
Colombia
to
raise
for
student
expenditures.
AS
B
AT
Evening,
everyone
I'm
going
to
ask
that
all
the
d20
parents.
Please
stand
anybody,
that's
representing
beats
one
and,
as
you
look
around
the
room,
you
see
a
diverse
crowd
of
parents,
and
this
is
due
to
the
work
of
me
and
my
colleague
here.
Mister
and
Jean
Bevers
truly
doing
grassroot
works.
This
is
the
S
I
see
of
Burke
high
school,
the
title
one
committee
chairmen,
which
I
am
inviting
the
community
to
come
and
ask
how
we
can
make
our
high
school,
better
and
I.
Think
of
you
go
into
the
overflow
room.
AT
You
will
see
more
parents
that
are
willing
to
work
with
this
board
in
this
district
or
making
schools
right
ourselves.
We
are
in
the
school's
daily.
We
are
working
in
the
community
daily.
Why
do
we
need
to
bring
in
third
party
operators
that
don't
know
our
kids
that
don't
know
our
parents
will
not
respect
the
board
ultimately
to
run
our
schools?
AT
Please
just
take
a
look
around
the
room.
Do
the
work
talk
to
the
people
we
know
change
is
needed.
We
want
education
better
for
all
kids,
not
a
select
few,
because
when
you
look
at
the
15
schools
on
an
accelerated
us,
I
mentor
a
kid,
that's
not
on
an
accelerated
list.
That's
two
or
three
grade
levels
behind
that's
gonna
take
community
help
getting
our
kids
where
we
need
to
be,
and
we
don't
need
no
Outsiders
mandating
what
we
do
to
make
our
kids
better.
Thank
you.
AU
Evening
the
decision
to
pump
the
brakes
and
closing
and
Minnie
Hughes
and
merging
with
EB
Ellington
demonstrates
a
real
understanding
by
this
board.
The
proposal
would
have
major
unsupported
consequences
and
thus
deserve
more
evaluation.
It
would
be
dangerously
presumptuous,
however,
to
think
that
is
the
case
for
only
the
proposal.
There
are
sweeping
changes
on
the
agendas
for
tonight
and
next
month,
and
some
of
them
might
very
well
be
motivated
by
noble
ideas.
However,
their
import
and
scope
are
precisely
why
solutions
to
these
issues
may
be
worked
out
ahead
of
time
and
not
in
real
time.
AU
AV
Hi,
my
name
is
Netanya
Miller
I
am
a
current
educator,
although
no
longer
with
Charleston
County,
due
in
part
to
some
of
the
decisions
that
have
been
made
by
y'all
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
the
acceleration
zone,
which
is
anything
but
best
for
our
children.
The
number
one,
the
premature
and
non-transparency
to
vote
on
polling,
putting
fifteen
schools
into
an
acceleration
zone
without
vetting
specific
plans
for
schools
one
by
one
within
each
school
community
is
a
problem.
AV
Number
two
segregating
majority
african-american
lower-income
schools
into
a
turnaround
zone
creates
a
two-tier
school
system
that
has
failed
in
other
parts
of
the
country
number
three:
some
of
the
third-party
applicants
are
nonprofit
charter
chain
operators
with
close
ties
to
for-profit
charter
operators.
This
is
no
longer
public
education
number
four.
There
are
ways
that
nonprofit
charter
operators
can
skim
profits
from
our
children.
Number
five
CCSD
has
not
been
transparent
with
its
public-private
partnership
with
Meeting
Street
schools.
AV
Why
would
we
trust
you
to
have
more
I
was
at
burns
when
Meeting
Street
came
in
number
six,
hundreds
of
thousands
of
untraceable
dark
money
dollars
were
pumped
into
our
school
board
race.
Last
year.
We
question
who
will
be
benefiting
from
getting
control
of
millions
of
dollars
in
a
lump
sum
per
pupil
tax
dollars
number
seven.
The
current
positions
of
our
teachers,
principals
and
school
staff
would
not
be
guaranteed
at
a
public
private
partnership
school.
In
fact,
you've
lost
many
amazing
teachers.
Due
to
what
you've
done
already
number.
AV
Eight
teachers
would
have
to
reapply
for
a
job
with
a
third-party
operator
and
would
lose
all
state
rights
and
benefits.
One
of
the
perks
of
being
a
public
school
educator.
Number
nine
instead
of
farming
operations
out
Charleston
County,
should
give
appropriate
support
to
schools,
as
determined
by
the
educators
who
work
there.
The
school
improvement
Council,
the
PTA
PTO
members
and
the
title
one
school
coordinators-
you
you
employ
us.
You
trust
us
to
teach
these
children
trust
us
know.
What's
best.
AW
AW
It
does
ring
familiar
though,
because
back
in
2016,
a
handful
of
billionaire
donors
and
charter
school
advocates
and
lobbyists
pushed
for
a
turnaround
district
statewide.
They
pushed
for
this.
Despite
the
fact
that
similar
efforts
had
done
poorly
in
Michigan
and
Tennessee,
it
ultimately
failed.
It
didn't
pass
into
state
law,
and
so
they
turned
their
attention
locally
to
Charleston.
To
how
will
you
choose
the
partner
organizations
depending
on
the
selection
process
and
the
rubric
you
choose?
This
policy
could
be
a
real
financial
boon
to
for-profit
education
companies
with
a
proven
track
record
of
failure.
AW
Three
full
teachers
in
these
schools
have
to
reapply
for
their
own
jobs.
I
feel
compelled
to
ask
because
I
know
a
lot
of
excellent
teachers
in
the
schools
that
you're
talking
about
for
what
policy
waivers.
Do
you
have
in
mind
the
plan
as
written
would
open
the
door
for
unspecified
policy
waivers
which,
in
the
past
have
been
used
for
things
like
expanding
the
school
day
in
school
year,
which
are
ideas
that
have
some
merit
in
some
backing.
AW
AX
Good
evening
to
our
superintendent
to
our
board
chair
and
our
board
members,
my
name
is
John

I'm,
the
mayor
of
the
town
of
Hollywood
South
Carolina
I,
stand
firm.
Let
me
go
my
glasses,
though.
I
stand
firm
on
many
hues
remaining
open,
standing,
hid
and
night.
Thank
you
all
for
tabling
in
it
and
when
you
go
back
around
that
roundtable
I
like
to
be
there.
Many

not

school.
AX
Many
users
been
up
for
fifty
years

in

we
have
graduates
for
many

that

retired
from

the
rank
of
Colonels

majors
and
being
myself
from
the

Paul

just
retired
from
you
all
22

standing
straight
up.

Question
is
if
we
delay
this
action
once
we
get
all
the
finances
in
place
to
see
where
we're
going,
it
what's
needed
to
properly
fund
the
program
to
make
it
successful,
and
what
can
we
do?
There
benefit
those
children
that
are
in
mary,
Fallin
Shakur
school
down
how
to
be
how
to
be
better
off.
How
would
be
better
served
by
putting
on
one
roof
so.
A
F
X
F
They
don't
know
we
had
we've
had
some
engagements,
but
no
one
understands
that
this
means
merger
and
succour
and
marry
four
schools
make
one
school
out
of
them.
You
just
can't
do
that
with
kids
that
are
struggling
already
and
in
title
one
schools,
you
know
just
as
good
for
our
kids
in
North
trust,
and
this
week
you
should
get
to
the
kids
in
my
peasant.
Also
in
West
has
another
place
to
be
get
kids
ila
problem
Canada
to
get
four
black
ears,
only
so
I'll
a
sense
of
not
your
weight
and
not
approve
this
okay.
F
We
have
one
more
question
so
get
that
motion
passes
the
original
emotion.
Well,
there
are
some
writings
that
the
finances
become
full.
First,
my
December
trying
to
come
to
me
committee
to
hold,
but
the
body
sooner
we
get
a
picture,
the
finances,
what
we
look
at,
what
we
looking
at
for
the
early
childhood
to
work.
F
H
P
H
B
E
L
E
Have
to
work
Christmas,
and
you
know
it's
just
amazing.
You
know
in
your
harmonic
and
when
we
deal
with
North
Charleston,
we
deal
with
North
Charleston
issues.
We
have
North
Charleston
members
that
do
have
no
input
in
this
whatsoever.
You
have
people
in
other
areas
of
our
County,
that's
weighing
in
on
North
Charleston
education.
Again,
that's
again,
that's
why
my
phone
call
today
for
my
mayor,
another
merits
to
talk
to
our
D
consolidation
and
breaking
up,
because
our
voice
isn't
heard
we're
not
at
the
table.
A
F
F
The
previous
motion
we
voted,
two
are
combined
mayor,
fullness
accord,
family
bite
skills,
the
same
we
expand
in
the
early
childhood
was
early,
had
only
fundamentals
for
60%
now
and
I'm,
taking
three
move
predominant
black
schools
to
merge
them
into
one
school
so,
instead
of
having
five
but
already
Tyler,
one
schools
you're
looking
at
two
now
and
a
quick
motion,
but
no
community
input,
no
discussion
which
goes
against
board
policy.
Harbor
the
kids
benefit
in
this
house.
Parents
benefit.
T
F
F
F
A
F
G
B
Just
real
quickly
to
say
when
you
asked
where
these
crazy
ideas
coming
from
Roman
towns
and
I'm
sure
not
everybody
wants
to
hear
this.
But
since
I
was
elected
to
the
board
in
2014,
a
number
of
other
people
were
then
to
others
of
you
have
been
on
longer.
I
have
heard
loud
and
clear
from
all
of
our
constituents.
B
We
all
represent
the
entire
county
that
they
want
to
see
their
schools
improved
and,
and
so
I
look
at
the
changes
that
we're
making
today
as
ways
to
improve
our
schools,
particularly
for
kids,
who
don't
feel
like
our
parents,
who
don't
feel
like
they're
winning
that
jackpot
with
their
neighborhood
school,
we
need
to
have
every
school
in
this
district,
be
a
school
that
can
serve
every
single
student
and
make
every
single
student
be
able
to
achieve.
Go
on
to
middle
in
high
school,
go
to
work
or
go
to
school.
B
F
B
In
the
instance
that
we're
looking
at
today
in
this
particular
item,
we're
gonna
build
a
state-of-the-art
school
that
can
offer
more
to
all
three
they're
the
students
at
all
three
of
these
schools,
and
so
in
this
particular
instance,
I
think
that
makes
the
most
sense
it
and
the
majority
of
the
whoever
will
vote
on
it
and
we'll
see
I,
don't
necessarily
think
that's
the
case
in
every
scenario,
but
in
this
scenario,
I
think
that
it
will
and
will
work
with
the
faculty
and
staff
in
parents
from
those
two
schools
and
I
call
the
question.
If.
F
F
I
And
and
Reverend
Collins
I
was
in
land
elementary
two
weeks
ago
and
what
that
went
through
the
whole
school
with
the
principal,
and
it
is
a
divert
it's
not
100
percent
African
American
kids
you've
got
a
little
Latino.
Kids.
You've
got
two
white
kids
in
there.
You've
got
African
American
kids,
but
you're
you're,
trying
to
stereotype
three
schools.
That
does
not
exist.
A
second
point
was
notice.
F
I
The
year
2000
we've
had
roughly
50,000
students
in
this
district
and
we've
added
a
million
square
feet
of
buildings.
Since
then,
we
cannot
and
should
not
responsibly,
go
back
and
rebuild
a
new
school
for
every
one
of
the
84
that
we
have
in
this
district.
We
have
roughly
the
same
number
of
schools
as
they
do
in
Greenville,
County
and
they've
got
nearly
30,000
more
students
than
we
do.
It
is
those
dollars.
Those
building
dollars
are
real
dollars
that
come
out
of
what
we
can
pay
teachers.
I
D
Reverend
Collins
I
have
something
to
say
about
what
goes
on
inside
schools
when
you
and
I'm
some
people,
like
smaller
schools,
some
people
like
larger
schools.
When
you
have
a
larger
school,
you
can
afford
to
hire
more
teachers
to
teach
more
subjects,
to
bribe
more
programs
to
have
more
guidance
counselor's
and
instead
of
having
something
one
day
a
week,
you
may
have
it
five
days
a
week
you're
giving
the
students
more
opportunities
in
school.
F
D
F
E
Right,
it
is
obviously
it
is
important
to
realize
the
population
in
North
Charleston
is
not
getting
any
smaller.
The
migration
in
North
Charleston
is
growing,
but
you
want
to
shut
down
schools
and
sell
real
estate.
When
you
know
the
population
is
growing.
So
what
why
are
you
gonna
shut
the
school
down?
It
doesn't
make
any
sense.
Population
is
not
getting
smaller
in
North
Charleston,
you
can
do
you
can
look
at
the
numbers
you're.
C
F
B
A
A
C
Voted
no
on
this
at
the
Committee
of
the
Whole
meeting
and
I
haven't
found
a
reason
to
change
my
position,
but
I
want
to
be
clear.
That's
because
I
feel
like
that
if
we
are
going
to
truly
create
streamlined
and
organized
education,
and
we
say
well,
we
have
to
include
one
constituent
district
in
this
area
in
this
school
because
they
don't
have
a
magnet
and
academically
advanced
school.
Neither
does
North
Charleston,
but
we're
not
can
we're
not,
including
that
in
any
of
the
other
magnet
school
changes.

state
board
policy.
Second,.

AY
G
A
AY
Purpose
of
identifying
these
schools
tonight
is
threefold.
First
of
all,
to
make
sure
that
we
include
the
leadership
in
these
schools
as
we
look
at
possible
areas
to
request
waivers
from
the
State
Board.
The
second
reason
to
identify
them
is
that
your
policy
see
in
requires
that
we
take
action
when
we
have
persistently
low-performing
schools,
and
the
third
reason
to
identify
them
tonight
is
to
make
sure
that
our
district
is
putting
these
schools
in
a
sort
of
intensive
care,
a
condition
in
our
school
district.
Mr.
AY
Kennedy
and
the
budget
preparation
committee
are
looking
at
a
differentiated
school
allocation
to
make
sure
that
the
schools
that
need
the
most
care
get
the
most
financial
support
and
that
we
change
the
funding
formula,
if
possible,
to
get
more
supports
to
the
schools
that
have
the
furthest
to
go.
When
you
heard
the
presentation
from
the
nwea
insights
report,
you
heard
them
talk
about
the
connection
between
poverty
and
achievement
that
exists
worldwide.
AY
The
earlier
version
of
this
guaranteed
that
every
teacher,
every
teacher,
every
principal
will
have
a
job
that
we
would.
It
is
not
our
intent
to
displace
any
of
the
teachers
who
are
satisfactorily
performing
in
our
district.
So
these
efforts
to
tie
it
with
privatization
inappropriately
are
simply
not
not
correct
and
they're
not
helpful.
Mr.
L
C
AY
Ma'am
I'm
saying
December
is
the
target
date,
there's
a
lot
to
do
between
now
and
December,
and
if
the
principals
of
these
schools
are
not
able
to
agree,
it
might
be
January
by
the
time
we
bring
the
waivers,
but
we
have
done
some
initial
work
on
that.
We
have
someone
who's
ready
to
meet
with
the
principals.
As
soon
as
the
board
says,
these
are
the
schools
that
we
think
ought
to
go
into
this
particular
effort,
as
we
asked
the
State
Board
for
waivers
and.
C
AY
Could
the
state
just
created
up
a
process
for
applying
for
the
waivers
that
makes
it
more
difficult
than
it
was
they've
just
put
that
process
in
place?
We
received
the
memo
today.
It
makes
it
easier
on
the
schools
if
the
district
helps
them
by
combining
them
and
making
the
rationale
for
why
we're
asking
for
teachers
and
principals
in
these
schools
that
have
more
operating
latitude
reasons
that
they
need
the
opportunity
to
innovate,
because
none
of
them
at
the
current
time
is,
is
averaging
a
1.2
years
of
growth
per
year.
Very
few
of
our
schools
are.
AY
AY
That
is
something
that
the
board
asked
me
to
do
separately.
That
was
a
board
vote.
You
asked
us
to
do
that.
The
solicitation
for
interest
went
out
as
a
result
of
a
board
vote.
You
don't
have
to.
None
of
those
schools
has
been
accepted.
Yet
none
of
the
solicitation
schools
you're
setting
up
a
committee
to
take
a
look
at
what
came
in,
and
the
question
would
be
based
on
the
commitment
of
people
who
serve
on
that
committee.
AY
When
you
analyze
the
data
when
you
went
to
visit
those
schools,
did
you
see
any
school
whose
model
you
think
would
help
us
accelerate
student
learning
more
quickly
than
we're
currently
capable
of
doing
it?
The
answer
may
very
well
be
no
or
it
could
be.
We
found
one
thing
we
think
is
worth
pursuing.
The
answer
could
be.
We
found
something
we
think
we
could
replicate
ourselves,
but
the
point
is
we
cannot
continue
to
do
what
we've
always
done.
AY
E
AY
You
invested
in
that
particular
project
that
that
would
be
doing
the
same
thing
again.
Another
thing
the
district
did,
and
this
is
what
I
think
is
frightening
to
people.
The
district
tried
a
meeting
Street
model
and
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
meeting
Street
is
growing
children
at
a
much
faster
rate
than
we
are.
When
we
look
at
the
numbers,
the
percentages
of
students,
the.
AY
B
AY
Not
in
none
of
our
schools,
well,
teachers
or
principals
have
to
worry
about
their
jobs.
There
is
a
national
teacher
shortage
right
it.
There
are
always
reasons
why
we
might
need
to
work
in
a
different
role,
but
everybody
who's
in
these
schools
is
promised
their
job
at
the
current
salary,
regardless
of
their
current
position.
If
they
have
a
satisfactory
evaluation
and
there
is
no
plan
to
disrupt
teachers,
but
I
don't
want
to
say
that
that
wouldn't
happen
because
I
don't
know
what
the
ultimate
outcome
might
be.
AY
C
F
F
K
A
A
D
F
F
Been
alone
and
Brentwood
only
56
kids
graduate
out
of
fifth
grade,
so
we
say
the
daily
music,
it's
working,
the
data's,
not
reflecting
that
the
kids
just
started
off
in
kindergarten.
The
first
grade
was
over
a
hundred
students
in
one
over
56
panic
about
the
fifth
grade,
with
not
getting
anywhere
we're
losing
ground
board.
F
F
F
A
B
A
F
I
said
before
we're
doing
goes
hand
in
hand
with
meetings.
We
model
what
we're
doing
that
these
schools
and
debating
process.
Sir,
and
even
though
some
disagree,
some
don't
want
to
be
the
understudy
and
that's
their
business,
but
we
are
deceiving
ourselves
but
we're
not
deceiving
the
people
crazy,
but
sitting
here
as
Liars
and
voting
firm.
F
B
H
A
There
will
be
three
board
of
representative
that
will
be
appointed
by
the
board
chair
and
I
will
appoint
that.
If
this
item
passes
tonight,
there'll
be
three
educators
that
to
be
appointed
by
the
superintendent
five
parents,
and/or
community
members,
to
be
jointly
appointed
by
the
board
officers.
District
leader
will
share
this
vetting
committee,
which
will
be
appointed
by
the
superintendent
we'll
announce
that
tonight.
If
this
item
passes
and
then
these
recommendations
regarding
the
next
that's
around,
one,
respondents
will
be
presented
to
the
board
in
December
you're.
A
C
A
The
district
leader
which
will
be
appointed
by
the
superintendent
will
be
the
one
chairing
this
committee
that
will
give
guidance
as
to
how
these
items
will
be
vetted
out
in
the
committee
then,
will
will
come
together.
Doctor
post
wait
if
I'm
understanding
to
be
correctly
and
make
a
recommendation
back
to
the
board.
C
So
they're
not
gonna,
come
back
and
say:
we've
done
the
research
and
there
will
be
an
agenda.
I
excuse
me
I'm.
So
sorry
I,
just
burped
in
front
of
a
thousand
people,
but
there
will
be
I'm.
Expecting
this
to
say,
we've
had
these
discussions,
we
think
you
ought
to
do
the
next
thing
board
and
I.
Don't
think
that
means
we've
had
these
discussions.
We
think
you
ought
to
vote
on
this
item
tonight.
I,
don't
see
us
getting
to
that
between
now
and
January.
Is
that
accurate.
AY
I,
don't
know
what
we
can't
get
done
between
now
and
January,
but
I
know
between
now
and
December.
There's
no
way
that
could
happen
I
whatever
the
next
step
is
it
is
you
know
it
could
be
that
three
examples.
We
we've
proceeded
far
enough
to
know
that
we're
not
recommending
any
of
these
continue.
We
recommend
going
to
visit
one
or
it
could
be.
AY
G
A
AY
Thank
You
Raven
comments.
I
just
wanted
to
explain
two
things
that
amount
of
funds
that
go
to
meeting
Street
are
determined
by
the
media
streets
contract
with
the
board
and
the
contract.
That
meeting
Street
has,
with
the
Board
says
that
the
per
pupil
allocation
for
Meeting
Street
will
be
exactly
the
same
as
the
average
of
the
per
pupil
expenditure
by
the
board
in
between
three
and
five
I.
AY
AY
See
the
burns
children
separated
out.
But
when
you
look
at
the
enrollment
figures,
you're
seeing
burns
and
meeting
Street
together,
the
fifth
grade
class
is
the
largest
class
that
they
actually
have
of
meeting
Street
at
Brentwood.
So
they
retain
children
as
well
laughter
better
than
any
other
school.
But.
F
You've
understood
the
parts
making
is
that,
even
though
would
you
say
that
the
burnished
kids
were
came
in
and
early
going,
but
the
kids
that
were
in
those
four
grades,
they
all
dropped
off
with
time
to
get
the
third
and
fourth
or
fifth
grade
they
dropped
off
tremendously.
We
need
to
see
what
those
kids
are
going
at.
Why
don't?
Why
are
they
still
in
the
school
and
we
just
open
burns
this
year?
F
AS
E
B
AY
The
board
would
have
to
vote
on
waivers
that
takes
a
vote
of
the
board.
That
request
has
to
go
to
this
state
board.
That
takes
a
vote
of
this
state
board
and
you
can
have
several
waivers
without
ever
impacting
a
teacher's
job.
You
can
have
waivers
on
a
certification
of
teachers.
You
can
have
waivers
on
the
start
date.
You
can
have
waivers
on
the
amount
of
instructional
minutes
per
week
that
have
to
be
spent
on
certain
items.
There
are
about
five
different
key
areas
that
you
could
ask
for
waivers
on
that.
AY
Don't
have
anything
to
do
with
teacher
contracts,
that's
entirely
up
to
the
board
and
if
you
decide
to
have
a
vote
on
teacher
contract
waiver
or
if
you
decide
that
you
like
some,
that
would
require
a
vote
like
that.
That
vote
would
have
to
occur
by
February,
so
that
teachers
could
be
informed
and
HR
could
work
with
teachers,
because
we've
promised
every
teacher
a
job
that
that's
entirely
controlled
by
the
board.
Mr.
Hollenshead.
C
AY
A
AJ
F
C
A
S
A
AY
The
the
intent
is
that
students
who
enroll
at
Burke
high
school
could
continue
to
take
the
to
advanced
placement
courses
that
would
be
offered
at
Burke
high
school.
If
they
wanted
to
take
additional
advanced
placement
courses,
they
could
be
bused
to
or
if
they
have
their
own
transportation
to
West
Ashley
high
school
to
take
the
additional
advanced
placement
courses
and
then
return
and
remain
enrolled
in
their
high
school.
The
other
option
would
be
if
you're,
a
d20
student
who's
ready
to
go
directly
into
advanced
placement
on
offerings
full
day.
A
B
AY
E
How
would
that
work
for
us
student,
traveling
from
Burke,
high
school
eating,
my
personal
car
or
by
bus
to
West
Ashley
highest
should
be
about
what
a
30-minute
drive.
So
how
would
that
work
would
phone
that
class?
Guess
you
will
skip
class
schedule
and
then
instructional
time
and
turnaround
time
so.
AY
The
way
it
works
most
places
where
they
have
half-day
programs
and
coordinate
among
high
schools
is
that
the
master
schedules
have
to
be
arranged
to
work
together
to
allow
for
that
travel
time.
We'll
have
to
do
that
at
each
of
the
centers
for
Advanced
Studies,
the
one
that's
the
Mount
Pleasant
area,
the
one
that's
in
the
North
Charleston
area,
serving
multiple
schools
and
the
one
at
West
Ashley
high
school.
So.
G
AY
AY
A
F
G
AY
Now
we
have
to
build
up
the
numbers
of
students
at
Burke
high
school,
who
are
passing
advanced
placement
courses.
We
don't
have
enough
who
pass
advanced
placement
courses
yet
for
the
College
of
Charleston
should
make
it
feasible
to
offer
that
the
whole
contingent
of
courses
here,
but
if
there
are
enough
downtown
students
who
qualify,
that
eventually
could
happen.
I'm.
F
Saying
if
you
put
the
movement
placement
closely
in
the
school,
you
probably
brought
some
another
famous
around
the
school
that
don't
look.
Ten
Berghe
now
refer
to
me
so
I
come
in
I
had
a
family
told
me
just
last
week,
if
you
put
the
programs
in
us
in
our
schools
in
North
Charleston.
If
you
don't
know
where
the
kids
are,
we
coming,
you
put
the
programs,
they
will
come
and
I
know
the
for
the
year.
So
that's
why
I
say:
let's
to
put
the
program
at
Burke
also.
X
B
To
direct
the
administration
to
locate
all
constituent
district
ten,
which
is
West
out
sixth
graders,
on
the
hold
on
motion
to
direct
the
administration,
to
locate
all
constituent
district
sixth
graders
on
the
West,
Ashley
middle
school
campus
or
abettor

which
we've

about
and
create

at

effective
for
the

Twenty

Twenty
twenty

year.
This
action
supports
the
D
10
constituent
boards
request
is.
A
B
B
Can
I
explain
so
when,
when
I've
heard
feedback
from
people
I
think
there
was
concern
about
the
state
or
the
condition
of
the
West
Ashley
middle
school
campus
and
I
talked
with
mr.
Bowie
and
I
think
our
plan
and
then
in
the
past
that
C
Williams
was
getting
a
brand
new
school
on
the
West
Ashley
high
school
campus
next
to
the
high
school
and
that
our
plan
was
to
move
West
Ashley
middle
school
students
to
a
renovated,
st.
Andrews
or
mr.
brownie?
Can
you
refresh
my
memory?
What
that
was
doing
there.
I
B
My
my
motion
would
be
the
amount
of
motion,
and
what
I'm
trying
to
accomplish
is
that
the
7th
and
8th
graders
go
to
the
Middle
School
on
the
C
II
Williams
campus,
and
that
for
next
year
probably
the
sixth
graders
go
to
West
the
middle,
but
that
we
work
in
the
next
capital
buildings
program
to
come
up
with
the
best
location
in
an
in
some
new
space
renovated
space
for
a
sixth
grade
academy.
That's
what
I
want
to
accomplish
them.
Lions
motion
I,
don't
want
to
say
that
have
to
be
a
no.
A
A
BA
BA
BA
AZ
Kind
of
thing
I'm
in
speaking
with
mr.
Lewis.
We
definitely
want
to
wait
to
see
what
happens
tonight,
of
course,
but
next
steps
will
be
involving
something
you
need
members
in
Paris,
because
there
was
something
brought
about.
You
know,
for
instance,
and
what
type
of
program
music
middle
school,
but
also
the
name
of
West
freshman,
there's
an
opportunity
to
possibly
look
at
the
name.
AZ
F
F
Don't
know
how
you
put
together
any
plans
they're
like
a
public
wooden
public
input
spec
if
they
work
so
I.
Think
it's
gonna
hate
see
the
moon
fold
on
that
again
tonight.
Has
it
done
in
the
other,
these
other
items?
Why
don't
we
just
consider
pulling
that
off
the
table
for
now
reconsidering
I?
Don't
know
we
thought
with
the
offering
I,
don't
see
we
offering
academic
playing
that's
better
than
what
the
kids
are
receiving.
Now,
that's
really
the
key
for
me.
I,
better.
A
C
Q
C
So
if
we
want
to
go
another
route
and
put
all
the
arts
elementary
schools
automatically
into
C
Williams,
which
will
take
up
all
the
seats
and
let's
the
D
10
board
rezone,
we
could
go
down
that
route,
but
I
think
we've
got
a
real
issue
when
we've
got
two
schools
that
automatically
take
those
seats
in
that
school
without
having
to
go
through.
The
magnet
process
would
be
willing
to
have
some
discussions
about
making
it
a
true
partial,
magnet
school
at
C
Williams
where
you
apply
or
you
live
in
the
zone
period.
G
B
BA
F
C
A
C
Of
discussion,
but
if
you
read
the
the
action
item,
it
does
I
think
what
the
problem
is.
I,
don't
know
what
to
expect
after
we
vote
for
this,
because
it
says
motion
to
it
to
direct
the
administration,
to
study
the
feasibility,
we're
all
looking
at
that
first
paragraph
that
says,
recommended
action
and
it
says
for
2021
and
then,
if
you
go
down
into
our
background
in
discussion,
it
references
21:25
changed
it.
No,
no!
You
changed,
but
it's
it.
Both
both
dates
are
in
your
packet.
C
A
AY
AY
Don't
know
that
we
could
do
this
by
2021
I
think
that
typo
is
probably
goes
back
to
my
fault
I'm,
just
not
paying
attention
to
the
dates.
If
the
parents
who
are
helping
take
a
look
at
this
can
help
find
a
spot,
we
could
possibly
come
back
to
you
with
something
sooner
but
I.
Don't
think
that
we
could
work
out
the
facility
and
the
transportation
of
the
logistics
for
Montessori
middles,
but
the
idea
would
be
if
we
can
find
a
spot
to
create
a
space
for
monitoring
middles.
C
C
H
B
B
A
report-
that's
all
it
is
and
and
I
would
just
say
it's
the
person
making
the
motion.
A
knowledge
and
I've
been
very
public
about
saying
that
in
the
urban
areas
of
the
community
we
need
to
have
elementary
schools,
or
at
least
500,
but
there
are
going
to
be
exceptions
to
that.
There
are
rural
areas
that
we're
not.
We
cannot
do
that,
but
we
have
too
many
schools
that
are
too
close
that
are
really
close
together
and
we
should
look
at
the
feasibility
of
that.
So
it's
only
the
study.
Mr.
chair.
C
I
would
ask
that
when
we
do
meet
with
the
legislative
delegation
that
we
bring
for
them
the
their
staffing
that
doesn't
allow
staffing
at
certain
levels
so
that
they
can
see
this?
What
we're
up
against
and
have
that
conversation,
because
we
are
a
district
that
is
rural,
but
we
are
considered
by
Columbia
to
be
an
urban
wealthy
district
and
we
need.
We
need
some
sort
of
support
for
rural
schools
that
are
in
lower
population
areas
and
I.
Think
that
we
need
to
bring
that
conversation
to
the
table.
That's.

I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
the
naming
committee
recommended
that
the
new
CAS
be
named
Cooper
River
Institute
of
Technology,
but
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
that
we
named
it.
The
Cooper
River
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
to
match
the
other
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
that
we're
going
to
have
in
the
district.
Second.

AK

When
this
came
to
the
committee
of
the
whole,
we
had
a
lot
of
discussion
and
about
it
and
about
what
the
name
there
was
some
discussion,
and
we
said
we
talked
about
it
again
tonight
and
we're
going
to
have
three
Center
for
Advanced
Study
buildings
or
Center
for
Advanced
I'm.
Sorry
centers,
thank
you.
B
I
couldn't
think
of
a
word
centered,
so
one
is
to
the
Cooper
one
North
Charleston
and
one
West
Ashley
and
feedback
I've
gotten
is
that
it
makes
sense
for
all
three
of
them
to
be
called
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
and
then
whatever
defining
name.
Cooper
River
is
what
d-10
I
mean
d4.
Sorry
d4
has
been
called
for
many
many
many
years.
So
that's
why
I
made
that
motion.

So
mark
so
in
discussion,
that's
exactly
what
I
was
going
to
suggest
that,
since
we
had
established
a
committee,
they
recommended
the
Cooper
River
Institute
of
Technology,
that
we
send
back
to
the
actual
committee
of
a
recommendation
from
the
board
for
consideration
so
that
they
can
in
turn,
send
it
back
with
their
approval.
Since
we've
already
established
a
committee.

Right
right,
so
what
are
the
total
amount
of
outstanding
we're
proposing
to
refund
201
point
8
them
for
2013
and
sixty
eight
point,
eight
on
the
2014
business
and
with
the
stipulation
that
we
have
up
to
a
year
to
do
this
with
in
terms
of
the
market
conditions
being
being
alright,
so
he's
doing
it
all
last
month.
We
should,
though,
I've
refunded
about
23
24
million.
We
stayed
at
one
point:
four
million
dollars,
tanks
about
six
percent,
it
so
at
five
percent
here
and
a
minimum
without
218
million
dollars.
Roughly
this.

Just
as
a
reminder
of
the
upcoming
meeting,
we
will
be
meeting
with
the
local
delegation
on
December,
the
13th
at
10:00
a.m.
we'll
have
a
joint
committee
of
the
hold
and
regular
board
meeting
on
December.
The
16th
and
next
committed
a
whole
following
thereafter
would
be
in
January
2020
and
the
regular
board
meeting
on
January
27th
I
will
entertain
a.
H
Motor
Mac
before
we
adjourn
yes,
I,
feel
like
we
on
the
West
Ashley
merger
I'd,
like
some
more
information
and
while
I
know
it
passed
this
evening,
I
don't
think
we
have
enough
fleshed
out
data
completely.
So
I'd
like
to
ask
the
superintendent
if
she
would
bring
back
a
little
more
definitive
information
in
our
next
meeting,
so
that
we
have
some
more
dialogue
around
it.
Okay,.
