This
special
recognition
is
actually
for
our
band
director,
dr.
Bobby
Lambert

not
here
this
evening.
He
has
an
ill
family
member,
so
we
ask
that
you
keep
him
and
his
family
in
your
thoughts
and
prayers.
But
mr.
Lambert
has
been
the
director

six
years.

He
led
the
marching

arts

pride,

his
notable

the
town

in
music.
Now
I'd
like
for

the
the

I
I
Now
would
like
to
ask
Alicia
Coquina,
Jennifer,
Coker
and
Lisa
Allison
to
please
come
forward
project
prevent
as
a
grant
that
will
allow
our
district
to
do
even
more
for
children
who
have
experienced
trauma.
The
funding
will
pay
for
more
mental
health
counselors.
It
will
pay
for
teachers
and
school
staff
to
be
trained
to
identify
and
address
trauma.
It
will
pay
for
families
to
receive
wraparound
services.
Only
15
districts
across
the
u.s.
were
awarded
were
awarded
this
competitive
grant.
I
D
J
Good
evening,
CCSD
was
the
only
I
say
only
not
just
South
Carolina
only
in
the
whole
country
k-12

district
to
receive
an
honor
award
from
the
professional

being
the

of
the

Dillinger.
Congratulations

I
Miss
Coates

service
for
Charleston,
County,
School
District,
on
behalf
of
the
officers
and
staff
of
the
South
Carolina
School
Boards
Association.
We
thank
you.
You've
played
a
critical
role
in
guiding
your
district
and
have
invested
countless
hours
to
improve
public
education.
I
The
South
Carolina
School
Boards
Association,
is
happy
to
be
a
part
of
this
recognition
by
providing
you
with
a
lapel
pin
to
proudly
wear
at
school
board
functions
as
well
as
a
certificate.
Your
name
and
years
of
service
will
also
appear
in
the
2020
annual
convention
program.
What
an
accomplishment
the
School
Boards
Association
is
proud
of
you
in
the
Charleston
County
School
District
Board
of
Trustees
is
proud
of
you
as
well.
Thank
you
for
all
that
you
do.
I
Thank
you,
don't
dump
you
all
stay.
We
have
one
very
special
recognition
last,
but
certainly
not
the
least
Governor
Henry
McMaster
has
declared
January
2020
school
board
recognition
month
in
South
Carolina.
The
theme
for
this
year
is
school
board,
strong,
highlighting
the
unique
role
school
boards
play
in
champion
and
advocating
for
quality
education
and
the
ownership
they
take
for
governing
their
local
school
public
schools.
As
the
elected
representatives
of
the
people
in
our
local
community,
you
represent
the
voice
and
vision
for
public
schools.
I
Here
in
Charleston,
we
sincerely
appreciate
your
dedication
and
your
commitment
to
the
students
and
staff,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
tireless
service.
Please
accept
a
small
token,
which
is
at
your
seat
of
appreciation.
Thank
you
for
all
that
you
do.
Let
I'd
like
everyone
to
join
me
in
giving
them
a
round
of
applause.
B
K
So
today
we
have
another
proposal
in
front
of
you
for
West,
Ashley,
middle
schools,
I,
don't
know
enough
about
it
to
either
say
I'm
for
or
against
it.
What
I
am
concerned
about
is
the
continuous
plans
that
are
put
out
into
the
community
without
research,
support
or
community
engagement
in
developing
the
process
in
2014,
st.
Andrew's
middle
school
in
West,
Ashley
middle
school,
they
were
combined
and
similar
promises
were
made
and
they
were
not
kept.
K
K
Please
tell
me
I'm
wrong:
I
want
to
be
wrong.
I
want
to
be
wrong,
so
so
bad
I
want
you
to
show
me
how
your
plans
are
going
to
get
us
from
A
to
B,
to
C
and
under
what
timeframe,
but
just
these
abstract
promises
and
these
random
plans
thrown
at
the
wall
with
equity,
tacked
behind
it
or
just
not
working.
We
have
to
do
better.
I
want
to
get
behind
what
you're
doing
I
really
really
do,
but
you're
failing
miserably
at
getting
public
support
for
this.
Why?
L
L
I'm,
sorry
is
short:
that's
perfect.
My
son
goes
to
hot
gap
middle,
and
these
past
few
weeks
have
been
very
eye-opening
as
of
now,
our
only
deterrent
is
that
the
children
are
policing
themselves.
If
you
see
something
say
something,
this
system
is
flawed.
How
can
we
expect
our
kids
to
protect
themselves
when
the
child
that
does
speak
up
is
ostracized
by
the
students
for
being
the
one?
That
brings
this
to
the
teachers
attention
in
2017-2018
school
year,
West
Ashley
middle
school
had
a
child,
bring
two
handguns
to
school.
L
No
policy
was
put
into
place
in
2018-2019
school
year,
Camp
Road
middle,
had
a
child,
bring
a
knife
and
fought
another
school
with
it
or
thought
another
student
with
it.
No
policy
was
put
into
place
currently
this
year.
We
know
that
the
child
that
brought
the
handgun
to
hot
gap
had
two
magazines
in
his
book.
Bag
and
ccsd's
response
to
this
was
to
change
the
protocol
from
Red
Code
Red
to
lockdown.
L
That,
in
my
opinion,
is
the
wrong
response
that
does
nothing
to
stop
anyone,
let
alone
a
child
from
bringing
in
a
weapon
I'd
like
to
see
metal
detectors,
be
placed
in
all
schools,
not
just
middle
schools,
I'd
like
to
see
clear
book
bags
and
immediately
have
CCSD
security
organization,
organize
random
searches
in
the
middle
schools.
It's
my
understanding
that
they
only
do
that
now
with
high
school
students.
Clearly,
this
needs
to
be
done
in
middle
schools.
L
We
know
that
any
system
can
be
undermined,
but
the
more
systems
we
have
in
place.
The
better
protection
would
give
our
children
times
are
not
like
they
used
to
be.
Whenever
we
were
in
school,
drugs,
violence
and
sex
are
glorified
and
human
life
is
not
respected,
whether
it
be
mental
illness.
A
case
of
bullying
are
just
no
common
sense.
You,
as
a
board,
need
to
protect
our
children
from
these
types
of
types
of
incidents.
Can.
L
M
Name
is
David
Bell,
I'm
district,
10,
constituent
board
member
I'm,
the
secretary
of
district
ANCA
state
or
board
back
in
May
of
2019.
We
had
a
cute
Community
Engagement
session
with
the
residents
of
West
Ashley
at
the
West
Ashley
high
school
and
overwhelming
support
at
that
time
was
against
combining
the
middle
schools
into
a
single
middle
school
for
the
entire
area
of
West
Ashley
I
read
in
the
email
I
received.
That
was
saying
that
this
was
coming
on.
M
The
agenda
tonight
said
that
it
accomplishes
our
goals
that
we
set
forth
back
in
October
when
we
decided
to
do
came
forward
with
a
sixth
grade
academy
and
the
seventh
and
eighth
grade
at
C
Williams.
It
absolutely
goes
against
our
plan,
our
desires
as
a
district
n
board.
Our
desires
were
not
to
put
children
in
trailers
until
win.
When
are
the
trailers
going
to
go
away?
We
don't
know
in
over
crowds
with
no
real
solution
in
progress
or
in
process
to
alleviate
the
overcrowding.
There's.
No
community
engagement
or
community
involvement.
M
M
It
also
stinks
largely
of
an
orange
grove
passing
what's
actually
middle
school
over
to
orange
grove
without
any
community
involvement.
Well,
we
could
use
less
Ashley
middle
school
as
a
campus
for
the
foreseeable
future.
Thank
you.
Oh
and
my
colleagues,
mr.
Louison
and
Miss
Osteen
also
agree
with
me,
and
we
strongly
oppose
this
merger.
N
Evening,
I'm
here
today,
just
to
really
give
you
some
words
of
encouragement.
I
know
right
now
that
you
guys
are
receiving
a
lot
of
backlash
for
a
lot
of
the
decisions
that
you've
made.
Thus
far,
I
understand
that
there
could
be
more.
Transparency
could
be
more
communication.
Yes,
however,
the
courage
that
you
guys
are
taking
to
make
the
steps
to
make
changes
for
all
of
the
children
within
the
district.
We
stand
behind
you
in
making
those
decisions,
so
please
know
that
moving
forward.
Sometimes,
when
you
take
a
stance,
that's
unfamiliar
or
unpopular,
it's
very
hard.
N
Sometimes
you
end
up
standing
alone,
but
you
have
to
stand
strong
and
know
and
be
true
to
yourself
and
the
kids
within
the
district.
So
please
just
remember
that
we
are
behind
you:
police,
move
forward
with
any
plans
to
help
improve
the
schools
for
all
children
within
Charleston
County
school
district.
Thank
you.
O
Evening,
I'm
going
to
be
real
brief
I
asked
that
tonight
when
you
take
a
vote
on
what
happens
with
the
middle
schools
in
West
Ashley,
you
consider
the
plan
that
we
brought
forth
to
the
board.
Previously
there
was
a
lot
of
thought
that
went
into
it.
We
were
really
thinking
about
our
children.
In
that
district
foster
revert
back
to
one
middle
school.
We
didn't
build
a
building
for
one
middle
school.
O
O
What
we
want
to
see
is
you
vote
your
conscience,
knowing
that
our
children
are
getting
the
best
that
they
can
get
in
district
10
and
the
next
time
you
vote
I,
ask
please,
before
you
vote,
visit
the
schools
you're
voting
either
against
or
for,
if
you
know
the
principal's,
if
you
know
the
staff-
and
you
know
the
children
that
are
in
that
building,
you
can
make
a
better
educated
vote.
Thank
you.
F
Good
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
Leonard
Davis
and
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Charleston
Area
Justice
Ministry,
and
a
taxpaying
citizen
of
the
county
in
2018
I
had
the
privilege
of
participating
in
the
Charleston
County
School
District's,
believe,
empowerment,
transformation
event
that
happened
at
Edward
the
event
that
highlighted
the
important
work
happening
through
restorative
practices.
In
our
school
district.
We
met
at
the
North
Woods
middle
school
and
heard
that
principal
share
about
her
incredible
impact
about
the
incredible
impact
that
restorative
practices
was
having
on
student
behavior
and
how
she
expected
to
improve
teacher
retention.
F
Now
that
she
had
a
more
meaning
way
to
address
student
behavior
misbehavior
during
the
district's
event,
my
wife
and
I
got
to
participate
in
many
restorative
practices.
Circles.
Where
we
learned
about
the
diverse
group
of
people
in
the
room
and
began
building
relationships,
we
participated
in
a
problem-solving
circle
where
a
parent
stated
a
problem
she
was
having
with
her
child.
We
then
took
turns
sitting
across
from
her
and
sharing
with
her
what
we,
what
we
would
have
done
had
we
had
a
similar
problem.
F
It
was
easy
to
see
how
relationships
would
be
strengthened
if
these
circles,
these
types
of
circles,
were
used
in
classrooms.
We
all
know
that
relationships
are
easier
to
repair
when
there
is
a
relationship
there
to
begin
with,
and
we
all
know
that
we
all
try
very
hard
not
to
harm
those.
We
care
about
restorative
practices
grow
each
person's
circle
of
whom
we
care
about
after
participating.
F
E
Evening,
I'm,
a
parent
and
a
member
of
the
district
10
task
force
and
I
just
wanted
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
some
of
my
thoughts
at
the
ground
level.
It
cannot
be
argued
that
phenomenal
things
are
happening
in
district
10.
However,
we
are
at
a
critical
point
in
the
history
of
the
district,
when
it
can
certainly
also
be
agreed
that
some
change
is
needed,
no
doubt
that
diversity
and
inclusion
fall
under
that
purview.
In
fact,
in
the
district
strategic
plan,
the
need
for
change
is
highlighted
across
each
of
those
40
pages.
E
I
can
say
that
as
a
parent
of
four,
including
two
district
10
middle
schoolers,
who
have
phenomenal
teachers,
administrators
and
support
staff
and
as
a
taskforce
member,
it's
difficult
for
me
at
this
time
to
understand
how
our
students
are
at
the
heart
of
what
you
are
doing
as
parents.
We
delegate
our
trust
to
you
as
board
members
in
this
process,
but,
as
many
others
have
commented,
our
trust
is
wind.
'old
I
do
believe
that
there's
still
time
to
show
that
students
are
at
the
heart
of
your
work
and
that
this
is
your
guiding
principle.
E
We
once
again
ask
that
you
engage
with
community
and
have
open
and
honest
discussions
prior
to
making
recommendations,
which,
indeed
is
in
line
with
your
strategic
plan.
The
task
force
and
many
other
district
10
community
members
have
phenomenal
ideas
for
engaging
community
at
all
levels
and
truly
making
a
change.
If
you
champion
diversity
and
inclusion,
like
you
say,
you
do,
let's
model
to
the
community,
what
that
looks
like
the
community
needs
to
be
given
a
seat
at
the
table
and
if
not
decisions,
when
decisions
are
made
behind
closed
doors,
everybody
loses.
E
The
survey
results
that
you
all
have
in
front
of.
You
show
that
77%
of
district
10
parents
are
considering
other
options
for
their
students
because
they
simply
don't
know
what's
happening.
Overwhelmingly.
Parents
will
state
that
they
have
knowledge
that
there
are
plans
on
going,
but
don't
understand
what
those
plans
mean.
There
are
a
litany
of
valid
concerns
and
qualitative
feedback
that
need
to
be
considered.
You
see
in
the
words
of
simon
Sinek,
you
lose
your
way
when
you
lose
your.
Why
there
is
still
time
to
show
us
that
children
are
the
heart
of
your
work.
P
Good
evening
my
name
is
kelly
lloyd
and
I
am
the
mom
to
twin
girls
in
6th
grade
at
hot
gap.
I
fully
support
the
administration
and
the
teachers
at
hot
gap
and
the
following
comments
are
not
in
any
way
a
reflection
on
them
or
their
response
to
the
incidents
of
a
handgun
and
bullets
being
fed
at
the
school
on
January
15th,
however,
I
believe
CCSD
protocol
and
response
to
this
situation
is
entirely
inadequate.
P
Other
than
a
call-out
on
the
afternoon
of
the
15th
indicating
that
a
weapon
had
been
found.
Families
received
no
additional
information
on
the
nature
of
the
incident
or
the
type
of
the
weapon.
All
our
information
came
from
television
and
print
news.
This
lack
of
transparency
led
to
rumors
and
misinformation
being
circulated.
A
video
was
shown
to
the
students
three
school
days
after
the
gun
was
found,
but
this
was
a
school
produced,
video
and
included
no
follow-up
discussion
with
the
students.
This
is
unacceptable.
P
The
reactions
on
the
part
of
the
students
who
reported
the
gun
and
the
teacher
and
vice
principal
who
dealt
with
it
are
to
be
commended.
However,
these
are
indeed
reactive
responses.
It
is
now
time
to
be
proactive
at
hot
gap
and
at
all
CCSD
middle
schools.
We
need
to
know
what
you
are
doing
to
keep
students
and
teachers
safe,
better
communication,
recurring
training,
utilizing
evidence-based
training
methods,
perhaps
even
random
Locker
checks.
Something
must
be
done
differently
to
be
proactive
in
creating
an
environment,
to
greatly
reduce
the
likelihood
that
an
incident
like
this
will
happen
again.
P
Q
That
just
short
people,
height
hi
I'm,
here
to
discuss
the
district,
10
merger
I,
say
discussed,
but
I
really
can't
do
that
because
I
don't
know
what's
happening,
I,
don't
know
which
plan
to
discuss
I,
don't
know
what
to
think
and
that's
really
hard.
It's
really
frustrating
I,
don't
know
where
my
child
will
be
in
school
next
year,
and
that's
not
okay
at
this
point
in
the
game.
Q
Q
We
don't
know
it
seems
like
a
campus
with
1,200
students
is
going
to
be
lacking
and
a
lot
of
things
like
that,
like
special
needs,
there's
gonna
be
one
sports
team
for
all
those
kids
there's
going
to
be
one
art
teacher
for
all
those
kids.
As
far
as
we
know,
they
award
that
you
all
just
got
said
that
you
represent
the
voice
and
vision
for
public
schools.
I,
don't
know
how
you're
representing
the
parents.
When
you
don't
talk
to
them,
we
feel
completely
left
out
I'm
a
very
active
parent
at
all
of
my
children's
schools.
Q
I
feel
like
the
fact
that
I
don't
know,
speaks
volumes
for
the
parents
that
aren't
able
to
be
as
involved.
If
we're
gonna
give
the
building
to
Orange
Grove
at
West
Ashley.
We
need
to
know
that
that
needs
to
be
paid
into
part
of
the
decision.
I'm
not
saying
we
have
to
vote
on
every
single
thing.
Your
been
chosen
to
vote
on
these
things,
but
you
should
take
our
opinions
into
consideration.
Q
We
just
don't
feel
like
our
kids.
Interests
are
at
heart
and
that's
hard.
I
love
my
kids
school
right
now,
they're
at
Ashley,
River,
creative
arts.
My
son
is
my
daughter-
is
at
James
Island
it's
hard
for
me
to
let
the
fifth
grader
know.
What's
going
on
in
his
world.
He's
old
enough
he's
asking
me
questions
and
I:
don't
know
what
to
tell
him
and
that's
hard
for
him.
That's
making
this
transition
that
we
were
concerned
about
for
them
harder
and
that's
just
I,
don't
understand
why
it
has
to
be
that
way.
R
R
This
has
actually
been
conversations
among
community
about
how
best
to
improve
the
situation,
not
in
August
but
today
or
yesterday,
or
back
in
December,
really
looking
at
what
are
we
looking
at
with
a
full
deck
of
options
for
West
Ashley
we're
not
just
talking
about
middle
school,
we're
really
talking
about
the
entire
system
from
elementary
from
pre-k
all
the
way
up
and
what
the
community
is
asking
for.
Really.
R
What's
actually
has
to
have
us
to
the
table
and
know
what's
going
on,
but
also
time
all
the
other
areas
in
our
district
have
been
given
years
to
plan
for
murders
or
for
different
programming
coming
in
and
we've
been
given
months
and
that's
really
a
disservice
to
the
community
in
which
you're
really
identifying
as
having
significant
needs
and
significant
opportunity
to
improve.
So
let
us
do
the
work.
R
Let
us
as
a
community's
work
together,
put
all
those
great
minds
in
a
room,
bring
in
all
the
staff
from
CCSD
who
has
expertise
that
is
needed
to
make
this
work.
Take
it
back
to
the
community
and
you
know,
get
their
feedback
because
they're,
the
ones
who
are
gonna
have
to
get
their
kids
to
school
every
day,
get
the
teachers
feedback
because
they're
the
ones
who
are
actually
frontline
on
the
every
day
and
those
classrooms
making
it
work.
R
And
if
we
don't
have
the
opportunity
to
understand
how
our
buildings
are
going
to
be
used,
are
we
going
to
be
using
West
Ashley
middle
school
for
orange
grove
in
another
year?
What
are
we
asking
our
taxpayers
to
fund
in
terms
of
the
building
campaign
in
just
a
few
short
months?
Really?
What
do
we
want
as
a
community
I
think
you've
brought
us
together
and
please
give
us
that
chance
to
come
back
to
you
with
additional
ideas
that
you
can
help
us
implement.
S
Evening
everybody
Jonathan
throw
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
had
on
my
mind
was
diversity.
Now
we
have
had
so
many
conversations
and
studies
and
things
talking
about
diversity
in
the
need
for
it.
So
I'm
really
trying
to
understand
from
some
certain
board
members
Kevin
Chris.
Why
is
it
that
we
would
be
against
certain
changes
when
we
understand
that
it
has
the
ability
to
add
diversity
in
a
district
to
where
we
have
put
so
much
emphasis?
In
you
know,
black
schools,
underperforming,
white
schools
performing
are
over
excelling.
S
Let's
look
at
academic
magnet,
I
have
never
ever
seen,
and
all
my
fight
in
the
district,
a
group
of
individuals
say
you
know
what
we're
going
to
come
to
the
table
and
actually
do
something
to
allow
more
black
children
qualified.
Now,
let's
get
that
straight,
more
qualified
black
children
to
enter
into
academic
magnet.
Why
is
there
a
vote
against
that?
S
Why
is
there
hesitancy
if
this
is
something
that
we
know
our
children
can
benefit
from
I,
don't
understand,
logically,
why
there
should
be
so
much
pushback
and
the
thing
is
provide
solutions
right,
because
if
it's
something
that
you
really
don't
like
provide
an
alternative
and
the
alternative
is
not
just
speaking,
somebody's
racists
are
going
doing
interviews
talking
about
somebody's,
the
head
of
the
Klan
and
slandering.
That's
not
gonna.
Do
us
anything.
S
Let's
talk
about
something
tangible,
something
that
you
can
bring
to
the
table
that
is
going
to
allow
us
to
really
look
at
and
assess
what
can
be
an
alternate
route
instead
of
just
going
on
these
interviews
and
calling
people
names
and
then
not
providing
a
solution
afterwards.
So
that's
just
something
that
I
want
y'all
to
consider
bringing
to
the
table
versus
just
coming
out
with
these
slander
attacks.
We
need
something
tangible,
we
need
something
intelligent
and
we
need
something
that
the
people
can
actually
look
at
engaged.
Whether
or
not
this
can
be
proud
ress.
T
So
I'm
a
follow
up
with
brother
said
the
top
schools
in
Charleston
County
are
majority
white
schools
right.
Even
though
these
majority
white
schools
are
in
black
neighborhoods
they're
still
and
our
neighborhoods
and
our
kids
can't
get
in
so
I
could
do
I,
definitely
loved
that
y'all
have
made
the
way
for
our
children
to
get
in
when
what's
so
funny
to
me
is
this
right:
I
should
probably
turn
to
the
crowd.
Comes
those
who
I
hear
them
say
we
need
more
time.
We
need
more
research
for
20
years.
T
We
knew
black
kids
were
getting
undereducated
for
20
years.
We
knew
black,
kids
wasn't
getting
a
proper
education,
but
you
ain't
worried
about
that
research.
You
want
to
know
about
research
to
make
sure
the
sixth
grade.
Education
is
gonna
work,
so
you
have
no
problem.
What
the
kids
look
like
me,
feeding
another
uneducated
here,
because
what
happens
now
we
go
back
to
the
table.
The
kids
from
West
Ashley
middle
school
go
back
to
West,
Ashley
meadow.
They
don't
get
the
STEM
program,
that's
gonna
be
the
new
Cee.
They
don't
get
the
I'm.
T
Sorry,
they
don't
get
the
tech
programs.
They
don't
get
all
those
things
is
gonna
be
new
Cee.
They
just
get
to
go
back
to
West,
Ashley
middle
and
once
again
they'll
be
behind,
but
we
ain't
worried
about
neither
that,
because
we
don't
got
the
research
that
C
is
going
to
work.
That's
the
problem.
I
have
with
this
forget
all
it
I
hate
the
trailer
idea
too.
I
don't
really
want
the
kids
in
trailer,
but
if
that's
what
we
got
to
do
to
appease
them,
just
so
kids
are
look
like
me:
can
get
a
good
education.
T
Then,
let's
do
it
I,
don't
care
either
I
don't
care
for
it,
but
this
is
ridiculous
and
and
I'm
not
upset
with
Joe
at
all.
I
commend
exactly
what
y'all
doing,
but
this
is
crazy.
The
city's
here
behind
me
all
they
want
is
research,
research,
research,
no
one's
talking
about
the
research.
That's
been
done.
20
years
of
black
children
being
left
behind
I
had
a
posted,
I
was
gonna,
open
up,
I
was
told,
I
couldn't
bring
it
I
wanted
to
show
I
brought
the
posters
for
those
who
don't
believe
me.
T
We
got
plenty
research
showing
that
black
kids
have
been
given
an
unequal
education
for
20
years,
but
you
don't
want
to
talk
about
that.
We
need
more
community
talk
to
see
if
there's
gonna
be
a
sixth
grade
education.
All
of
this
business,
like
this,
our
kids,
going
to
your
schooling,
they'll
kill
you,
that's
it
black
kids,
going
to
your
school
is
not
the
end
of
the
world.
We're
not
gonna,
kill.
U
Thank
you.
Y'all
have
asked
me
to
be
brief.
What
I
attempted
to
do
with
the
communication
teams
help
is
to
place
on
one
page
which
board
members
have
in
your
packets
and
that
under
your
name
plate
on
one
page,
a
summary
of
what
it
is
that
the
board
was
hoping
to
accomplish
so
that
more
children
in
Charleston,
County
Schools
would
leave
our
schools
ready
to
take
advantage
of
what
society
has
to
offer
to
get
living
wage
jobs
to
go
on
to
college
and
to
support
their
families.
U
What
do
we
need
to
do
to
break
cycles
of
poverty
because
the
audience
doesn't
have
that
in
front
of
them?
I
put
this
one-page
on
to
a
few
PowerPoint
slides.
So
basically,
there
are
our
four
levers
here
that
we
have
concentrated
on
for
the
past
two
years:
building
a
strong
foundation,
making
sure
that
our
students
start
school
ready
to
learn,
making
sure
that
whatever
has
to
happen
happen
so
that
we
can
accelerate
the
achievement
of
those
who
are
left
behind.
U
You
recall
that
we
had
an
expert
from
one
of
our
testing
associations
come
and
talk
with
us
about
the
fact
that
it
takes
1.2
years
of
growth
per
year
over
five
years
to
catch
up
a
student
one
year.
So
the
whole
idea
of
accelerated
schools
is
to
make
sure
that
this
district
is
the
best
at
getting
better.
We
may
not
be
the
top
performing
district
in
the
state
when
you
look
at
our
average
test
scores,
but
by
golly
there's.
No
reason
why
we
cannot
be
the
best
at
improving
student
achievement,
but
we
want
an.
U
U
So
the
goal
that's
related
to
that
specific
strategy,
is
that
more
children
begin
school
ready
to
learn.
They
stay
on
grade
level
as
they
move
through
school
and
they
exit
so
that
they
can
get
living
wage
jobs
or
pursue
whatever
dreams
they
aspire
to.
The
second
strategy
is
about
the
wand,
around
accelerated
improvement
and
we've
identified
215
schools
where
support
has
not
produced
the
results
we've
wanted,
even
though
various
people
have
tried
over
the
years
and
we've
created
a
strategy,
we
think
will
work
for
those
schools.
U
We
pulled
back
from
the
solicitation
for
interest
because
that
strategy
did
not
work
for
us
as
we'd
hoped
this
year,
and
we
now
are
thinking
of
those
schools
as
if
they're
part
of
an
intensive
care
unit
in
a
hospital.
We
have
managed
to
attract
some
really
interesting
partners
to
work
with
us.
The
University
of
Virginia
team
is
here
this
week
and
they're
going
to
help
us
learn
how
to
better,
attract
and
retain
leaders
who
invite
include
and
inspire
at
the
school
level.
U
The
goal
there,
of
course,
is
to
break
a
seemingly
endless
pattern
of
low
performance,
and
then,
as
has
been
mentioned
already
this
evening,
the
Boyd's
done
a
lot
of
work
toward
equitable
access.
They've
set
aside
some
priority
seating
in
schools
for
children
who
are
coming
from
schools
with
80%
plus
poverty
who
meet
the
interest
criteria.
U
You've
expanded
gifted
services
ensuring
that
at
least
5%
of
the
children
and
every
school
are
included
in
the
gifted
program
and
then
we'll
continue
our
efforts
to
make
sure
that
every
child
has
a
talented
teacher
with
all
the
resources
necessary
for
success
and
then,
finally,
the
last
lever
is
quality
choices
and
improving
neighborhood
schools.
This
is
the
one
that
has
been
mentioned
most
this
evening
in
that
list
include,
is
included
on
the
district
in
middle
school
merger.
We
know
that
that
needs
to
happen.
U
When
we
look
at
the
percentage
of
students
who
are
exiting
our
schools,
college
and
career-ready,
so
these
these
are
really
important
changes
and
adjustments.
We
have
to
make
they
are
hard,
they're
controversial.
They
take
a
lot
of
work,
they're
messy
and
we're
not
able
yet
to
provide
as
many
details
as
people
want.
U
We
pledge
to
involve
the
communities
just
as
quickly
as
we
get
direction
from
the
board
about
which
of
the
which
of
them
more
specific
options
that
you're
going
to
consider
tonight
going
to
consider
tonight,
but
the
work
that
you
approved
in
December
is
well
on
its
way
through
implementation
processes
and
plans.
I'd
like
to
again
thank
the
staff
who
are
here
tonight
and
others
at
the
school
level,
who've
been
hard
at
work,
as
well
as
the
many
parents,
students
and
community
members
who
have
been
supportive.
U
So
the
end
of
my
report
is
simply
to
say:
we've
tried
to
take
all
the
different
lists
and
messiness
and
recommendations
over
the
few
months
and
reduce
them
to
one
page.
That
is
not
exactly
yet
the
elevator
speech,
but
it
certainly
can
be
explained
to
anyone
in
10
minutes.
So
thank
you
to
the
communication
staff
for
doing
that.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
G
U
G
G
It
doesn't
say
that
all
the
middle
school
students,
but
the
question
is
how
many
Schmitt's,
how
many
second
graders,
what's
the
capacity
at
meminger
and
with
a
max
capacity
of
100
kids
abused,
are
the
remaining
seats
there
if
I
remember
if
I
look
at
this
is
the
question
we
need
interpreted,
there's
no
priority
for
the
remaining
third
grade
seats
abuse.
Is
that
correct
not.
G
That's
entrance
I'm
talking
about
the
fact
that
if
you're
in
meminger
and
you
meet
the
standard
and
if
you're
in
West
Ashley
middle
school,
our
elementary
school
and
you
meet
the
standards,
the
meminger
kid
gets
the
seat
first,
but
for
any
seats
that
are
remaining.
Are
there
any
digit
that
priorities
for
any
of
the
district
20
schools,
or
is
it?
Those
seats
will
be,
are
opened
into
an
enrollment
for
choice,
application
across
the
county?
So.
V
First,
we
haven't
even
established
what
that
new
criteria
will
be.
We've
said
that
by
the
summer
of
2020,
we
will
come
back
to
the
board
with
what
that
Pro
with
that
metric
looks
like,
and
so
what
we
have
said
is,
if
you're
a
student
at
meminger
and
you
choose
at
the
end
of
third
grade,
to
either
stay
at
the
meminger
program
or
apply
abus'd
academy.
If
you
meet
criteria,
you
would
be
eligible
to
matriculate
abuse.
V
We
have
not
yet
defined
what
that
looks
like
as
of
yet
because
our
first
priority
has
been
the
expansion
classes
and
making
sure
that
we
prioritize
schools
who
are
at
the
80%
index
or
higher
poverty
and
performing
at
the
75th
percentile
in
both
reading
and
math.
So
at
present,
miss
Roberts
and
I
were
at
meminger
on
Friday,
with
a
small
group
working
through
implementation
and
abus'd
Academy
this
morning,
working
through
implementation
and
for
the
first
layer.
V
Our
first
priority
has
been
adduced
Academy
the
outreach
effort
to
make
sure
that
families
understand
that
Buse
Academy
will
have
expansion
classes
at
grades,
3
through
6
and
then
again
at
member.
The
first
layer
of
priority
has
been
establishing
what
the
kindergarten
entrance
would
look
like
as
we
build
out
this
K
through
5,
advanced
academic
component,
and
so
to
answer
your
question.
We
have
not
yet
succinctly
said
once
you're
a
second
grader
at
meminger
and
that
new
incoming
class
abuse
is
ready
to
accept
new
students.
What
that
criteria
is
just
yet
thank.
H
G
There
a
priority
for
meminger
students
to
get
priority
seating
abused
in
the
3rd
grade
or
meminger
North
Charleston
elementary
school
West
Ashley
elementary
school
Mount
Pleasant
Academy.
Do
they
all
go
into
the
same
pool
and
there
is
no
priority
based
on
any
percentile
geography
or
poverty
for
students
entering
the
third
grade
abused.
B
A
four
beust
Academy
I
won't
go
through
all
the
bullets,
but
the
bullets
that
pertained
to
your
question
expand
grade
three
four:
five:
six
by
one
class
per
grade
in
twenty
twenty
twenty
one
for
twenty
twenty.
Twenty-One
only
give
priority
to
students
scoring
at
the
75th
percentile
or
higher
on
map
reading
in
math,
who
are
zoned
for
an
elementary
school
in
Charleston
County,
with
the
poverty
index
equal
to
or
greater
than
eighty
percent.
B
So
that's
for
just
next
year
then
develop
prior
to
the
start
of
the
twenty
twenty
twenty
one
school
year,
new
admission
criteria
for
third
graders
and
keeping
with
keeping
the
current
level
of
academic
standards
and
is
the
same
for
all
elementary
school
students.
The
next
bullet
is
entrance
criteria,
we'll
come
back
to
the
board,
so
back.
M
B
Can
say
yeah
you're
right,
it
does
say
for
meminger
Menninger
will
serve
as
a
countywide
IB
program
with
a
k5
advanced
academic
component.
Additional
kindergarten
students
will
phase
in
effective
twenty
twenty.
Twenty-One
the
attendance
zone
will
remain
in
place
unless
future
revisions
are
made
by
the
Constituent
Board
magnet
eligibility
will
be
based
on
kindergarten.
Readiness
assessments
with
students
who
score
ready
eligible
for
admission
class
representation
will
be
as
follows.
B
For
meminger
d,
twenty
students
receive
seating:
priority,
allocate
half
of
the
remaining
seats
to
eligible
students
zone
four
schools
with
the
poverty
index
of
80%
or
higher
and
half
to
eligible
students
own
for
Charleston
County,
Constituent
districts
other
than
D.
Twenty
students
will
matriculate
to
be
used
automatically
if
they
meet
eligibility
criteria
which
will
be
established
by
the
start
of
the
2020
school
year.
The
board
will
review
countywide
academic,
magnet
data
and
entrance
criteria
annually
in
order
to
ensure
changes
are
producing
results
consistent
with
four
goals
of
academic
quality
and
fair
representation
of
student
populations.
B
G
D
X
G
U
So
when
we
come
to
this
summer
with
the
third
grade
interest
criteria,
that's
the
beginning
piece!
When
we
see
what
the
interest
is
in,
how
many
kindergarten
classes
we
create
at
meminger
what
the
capacity
is?
That's
the
second
piece
and
then
the
board
will
have
an
opportunity
once
a
year
to
take
a
hard
look
at
this
and
make
some
decisions.
Some
people
have
speculated
that
a
lot
of
folks
will
who
haven't
been
going
to
meminger,
will
begin
going
to
meminger.
If
they
do,
that
manager
will
lose,
could
lose
its
80%
poverty
status.
U
So
we
one
of
the
things
that's
happened
since
the
decision
was
made
a
few
years
ago
to
change
the
quota
system.
Abused
was
that
we
kept
saying
just
in
the
time
I've
been
here.
We've
said
we're
going
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
then
every
year
that
deadline
crept
up
and
we
didn't
so.
This
will
require
starting
somewhere
and
revisiting
at
every
single
year
to
see
if
it's
having
the
impact
of
the
stated
goal
of
creating
diverse
schools
without
diminishing
the
quality
of
the
offerings.
Reverend.
A
H
H
Public
is,
for
example,
in
North
Charleston.
Those
kids
are
sending
very
little
chance
of
getting
any
penny
for
James
Island
or
not
present,
because
the
the
district,
20,
kids
or
all
will
consume
those
seats
and
though,
even
though
it
has
the
appearance
of
diversity
and
inclusion,
it'd
be
virtually
impossible.
Then
we
don't
identify
the
number
of
years
and
we
look
at
a
percentage.
We
don't
know
we'll
be
really
looking
at
when
it
and
for
those
kids
come
in,
so
look
I
think
we
created
really
a
disaster.
H
A
C
That
sounds
like
a
long
motion,
so
the
first
part
of
the
motion
is
going
to
be
to
support
combining
in
these
schools
on
one
campus
for
the
2020
2021
school
year.
But
the
balance
of
the
motion
is
to
engage
the
public,
the
Constituent
Board
and
the
volunteers
that
have
shown
up
tonight,
an
appearance
between
now
and
June,
and
the
district
to
come
back
with
a
long-term
recommendation
of
how
we're
dealing
with
the
middle
school
population
in
West
Ashley.
That
may
include
a
sixth-grade
Academy.
It
may
include
another
middle
school
whatever.
C
D
A
G
A
C
Your
motion,
yeah,
read
it
slowly
all
right
Julie.
My
motion
is
to
approve
the
merger
of
the
West
Ashley
middle
and
C
Williams
schools
for
all
of
the
students
to
occupy
on
the
new
CEO
Williams
campus
for
the
2021
school
year.
Staff
is
tasked
to
come
back
to
the
board,
with
a
long
term
middle
school
plan
for
West
Ashley,
with
constituent
board
and
other
public
input
by
the
end
of
June,
for
the
board
to
vote
on
an
alternative
for
inclusion
in
the
first
wave
of
the
penny
sales
tax
referendum,
which
must
be
identified
by
August.
C
Mr.
chair,
if
I
may
yes,
I
didn't
vote
for
this
the
first
time
because
I
didn't
feel
like
we
had
fully
vetted
the
sixth
grade.
Academy
I
feel
like
this
gives
everybody
the
opportunity
to
get
into
the
new
school
with
the
programming.
The
trailers
are
temporary,
regardless
of
where
we
end
up
and
we
seek
a
permanent
solution.
C
My
hope
is
that
this
gives
West
Ashley
community
time
to
get
involved
in
the
solution
and
that
when
we
vote
on
it
in
June
or
July,
as
the
case
may
be,
we've
got
everybody
saying
we
got
together
on
this
and
we
support
where
we're
headed
I'm,
not
comfortable,
that
we
have
figured
that
out.
Yet
we
must
do
something
and
to
me
I'm
comfortable
with
where
we're
starting
mm-hmm.
So
that's
enough.
I.
A
G
You
know
I'm,
sorry,
I
am
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
say.
I
have
tried
to
figure
out
how
we
got
from
last
March
to
today
and
while
we're
not
allowed
to
talk
about
the
fact
that
the
most
most
resourced
community
in
our
district
now
has
acts
panda,
Dax
s,
two
more
magnet
schools
than
any
other
area
of
our
district,
because
we
studied
how
to
get
under-resourced,
kids
into
those
schools.
G
14
days
ago,
we
sat
here
in
a
four-hour
board
meeting
with
every
single
one
of
us
here
and
no
one
gave
y'all
any
reason
to
believe
that
the
work
you
were
trying
to
do
with
the
sixth
grade
Academy
was
going
to
get
pulled
out
from
under
you
and
I
apologize.
I
am
sorry,
I
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
say.
We
have
a
group
of
individuals
who
vehemently
did
not
want
this
merger
to
happen
but
went
to
a
table
with
dr.
Williams
to
say
what
do
best
practices
for
sixth
grade
academies.
G
Look
like
we
didn't
like
the
decision.
I
know
some
of
you
in
the
audience
I'm.
Looking
at
you,
you
didn't
want
this
decision.
You
didn't
like
this
decision
and
you
went
to
the
table
and
said,
let's
figure
out
how
to
make
it
work
and
through
no
fault
of
your
own
four
days
ago,
you
were
told
that
wasn't
what
we
wanted
to
do
anymore
and
I
apologize
I
would
like
to
keep
the
current
plan
in
place
simply
because
it's
the
one
you
have
been
working
on.
G
Was
a
motion
that
I
would
like
to
consider
keeping
the
same
system
that
we
decided
in
December
16th,
simply
because
there
has
been
work
done
on
that
and
community
buy-in,
and
it
is
simply
the
other
side
of
the
coin
of
mr.
Fraser's
motion.
Let's
put
the
sixth
grade
academy
and
then
let's
make
that
decision
on
whether
we're
in
and
combine
the
schools
afterwards.
Why
do
we
have
to
change
this
and
include
an
emotion
changing
this
that
we
may
change
it
back?
This.
G
That
we
continue
with
this,
that
we
continue
with
the
same
proposal
that
we
made
on
December
16th
and,
as
y'all
gave
work
mr.
Frazier,
the
latitude
to
explain
it.
I
would
like
the
same,
and
that
is
that
my
motion
is
simply.
The
same
motion
is
mr.
Fraser's
by
saying
don't
make
those
changes
now
continue
with
what
we
promise
the
community.
We
were
going
to
do
and
have
the
discussion
on
whether
it
needs
to
change
on
the
30th
as
opposed
to
changing
it
now
and
having
that
discussion
on
the
30th.
A
Well,
just
to
be
clear,
you
you
received
the
same
amount
of
time
that
mr.
Frazier
did,
but
you
addressed
the
audience
instead
of
dressing
the
board
as
to
what
you're
clear
to
what
your
motion
was
so
for
clarity,
I
had
to
ask
you
what
was
your
motion
because
you
kept
going
on
and
on
and
on
and
on
all.
G
W
W
A
G
U
U
W
A
U
There
are
several
reasons:
the
first
the
first
problem
would
be
a
facilities
challenge,
and
that's
that
we
would
have
to
overcome
on
multiple
campuses
and
then
the
second
challenge
would
be
redistributed.
Teachers.
Sixth
graders
often
start
specializing,
although
an
elementary
teacher
can
teach
sixth
grade.
If
you
start
specializing
in
two
different
exploratory
areas,
one
teacher
cannot
teach
all
those
different
exploratory.
All
the
electives
that
sixth
grade
sixth
graders
often
have
access
to.
W
U
D
U
Is
the
blue
is
the
attendant
zone
for
CT
Williams,
which
is
located
clear
over
here
outside
of
where
the
majority
of
people
live
and
all
the
rest
of
this
map
is
zoned
for
West
Ashley
middle
school?
And
so
when
the
Constituent
Board
started
in
2016
to
try
to
find
a
solution,
they
decided
to
wait
until
as
I
the
record
that
that
I
reviewed
with
staff
today
seemed
to
say
that
they
were
waiting
wanted
to
wait
until
closer
to
a
decision
about
a
new
middle
school.
So.
W
I'm
asking
but
again
I'm,
asking
I
heard
all
these
decent
knee-jerk
reactions
or
why
West
Ashley
has
not.
The
middle
school
has
not
been
given
the
resource
and
they're
not
adequate.
To
see
Williams
again,
I
ask
the
question
again:
why
have
as
board
members
and
staff?
Why
have
we
not
provided
them
with
the
resources
they
need
to
help
close
that
achievement
gap,
I
think.
D
U
W
U
J
H
Q
U
It
if
you're
born
inside
of
seee
Williams,
you
have
to
get
on
a
bus
and
ride
to
West
Ashley
middle
school,
so
the
map
is
gerrymandered
in
ways
that
are
very
difficult
to
understand.
It's
difficult
to
think
about
how
to
redistribute
the
students
inside
that
district
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
if
we
look
at
the
opportunities
that
are
available
in
our
middle
schools
that
are
a
thousand
or
1200
students,
they
are
at
least
twice
as
many
to
fold
as
as
abundant
as
the
opportunities
in
smaller

I,
don't
have
that
in
front
of
me
that
was
in
your
packet,
I,
believe
in
October
and
again
in
November
and
probably
possibly
in
December,
when
the
board
voted
to
on
the
merger
to
start
with
so
tonight's
vote.
You
know
the
boys
already
voted
on
the
merger.
Tonight's
vote
is
just
where
to
locate
the
children
in
this.
What
period
of
time
who
are
in
the
sixth
grade
yeah,
okay,.
B
A
couple
of
questions:
I
I,
do
support
mr.
Frazier's
motion
for
a
number
of
reasons,
but
I
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
A
lot
of
this
is
based
on
the
survey
that
we
got
from
West
the
parents,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
communicating
this
dr.
post,
wit.
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
something
you
or
mr.
Brody
should
answer,
but
I
think.
B
One
thing
is
that
people
are
concerned
that
if
we,
this
vote
passes
that
the
entire
sixth
grade
will
be
in
trailers
on
the
new
middle
school
campus
at
that
opens
in
the
fall.
Can
you
or
somebody
tell
us
how
many
about
how
many
trailers
just
give
us
an
idea?
Are
we
talking?
20
trailers
and
the
whole
sixth
grade
is
going
to
be
in
trailers,
or
is
it
less
than
that
and
just
I
mean
I?
Think
I
was
told
that
elective
courses
would
be
in
trailer.
B
B
J
Many
actual
classrooms
we
need.
We
do
know
that
the
capacity
of
the
new
school
is
greater
than
we
thought
it
was
gonna,
be
we
also
know
there's
a
chance
that
some
of
those
kids
in
upper
classes
might
be
able
to
attend,
wet.
That's
ten,
some
class
at
West
Ashley
high
school.
So
we
have
to
look
at
the
high
end
of
what
might
be
within
the
earth
impossible
and
then
look
at
what
we
can
do
within
that
classroom.
I
combine
them
too.
It
would
definitely
not
be
an
entire
grade
in
class
in
the
trail.
Okay,.
B
So
just
two
real
quick
comments
from
my
experience
of
20-year
25
years
is
that
in
advocating
for
public
schools
is
that
when
we
move
into
a
larger
school
and
we
have
middle
schools
that
are
more
than
1,200,
in
fact,
in
parts
of
the
county,
you
actually
can
end
up
with
smaller
class
sizes.
Your
children
have
so
many
more
opportunities,
but
I
know.
We've
got
to
get
people
comfortable
with
that
also
coming
from
an
area
of
the
community
that
had
brand
new
schools
and
what
I
would
call
a
really
crappy
old
school
that
was
falling
apart.
B
It
just
wasn't
fair
or
equitable
to
to
do
that.
I
wouldn't
want
to
do
that,
while
I'm
on
the
board
to
make
a
choice
to
have
some
kids
in
a
great
new
facility
and
some
kids
in
a
older
facility,
so
I
mean
I
support
this
change
I.
Definitely
this
motion
I
think
we
need
to
get
more
community
input.
I
think
we
need
to
make
sure
parents
know
you
know
what
our
plans
are
and-
and
you
know,
address
these
different
questions
but
I
hope
I'm.
Thank
you
about
the
trainer
question.
Y
Y
Y
J
Students
with
a
1200
person
core
me,
you
can
add
classrooms
and
have
the
large
box
faces
big
enough,
but
in
the
calculations,
as
we
sat
down
and
look
at
the
number
of
classrooms
we
have,
the
capacity
is
greater
than
900
in
the
new
building.
That's
what
I
was
in
my
guess
is:
it
exceeds
a
thousand
okay.
X
I,
we
may
have
said
this
before,
but
when
you
have
a
larger
school
you
can
offer
more
options
to
kids
and
those
of
you
in
education
and
especially
in
middle
school
education.
You
want
a
broad
range
of
it
options
for
kids
to
try
out
maybe
music
art
or
whatever
or
whatever
they
can't
get
in
a
smaller
school
and
there's
nothing
and
that's
what
we
would
be
offering
in
the
one
bigger
school
and
I
think
that's
worth
what
we're
doing
here.
Okay,.
C
J
J
C
So
point
of
my
question
is:
if,
if
the
community
comes
together
on
a
solution
whatever
it
may
be
until
miss
cut
point,
you
may
end
up
with
a
sixth
grade
Academy
again,
I,
don't
know
what
the
answer
is.
This
gives
us
time
to
get
there
and
gives
us
some
funding
to
evaluate
what
that
might
look
like.
Okay,.
H
D
H
She's
pretty
full
so
that
that
concern
that
does
concern
me
somewhat
that
with
meeting
at
any
of
the
options
and
systems-
sometimes
it's
almost
beautiful
some,
sometimes
when
we
combine
skills
like
this,
you
are
said
to
get
the
results
we
want,
but
we
gave
up
a
call.
A
white
flight
I
mean
that
was
the
same
thing.
We
started
out
with
a
circular
school
there's,
no
open,
that's
not
what
we're
doing
here,
but
but
sometimes
we
do
that
the
community-
it's
not
properly
embraced
and
have
full
input
and
have
a
part
of
it.
H
D
A
Heard
comments
coming
from
the
West
Ashley
community
and
believe
mr.
Fraser
has
made
a
motion
that
has
been
seconded
and
has
expounded
on
future
options
that
are
available.
Mr.
Peroni
has
also
indicated
some
items
that
may
be
on
the
current
list,
but
on
the
underfunded
list,
but
nevertheless
the
board
has
the
options
of
moving
things
around
so
desire.
A
So
we
will
ask
that,
as
the
d-10
task
force
continue
to
engage
that
as
as
we
move
forward,
not
knowing
which
direction
this
vote
will
go
into,
but
that
we
will
have
the
options
of
having
more
dialogues
and
talks
about
future
schools
within
West
Ashley.
So
the
question
have
been
called
Julie.
Would
you
please
post
a
motion
and
I'm
asking
board
members
to
please
cast
their
vote.

Make
sure
I
get
my
colors
correct,
that's
correct,
so
this
stuff
in
purple
is
going
over
forward
in
first
reading.
The
information
in
red
has
already
been
presented
to
you
all
for
first
reading
and
is
ready
to
go
for
second
reading,
but
that
would
have
been
confusing
to
bring
first
and
second
reading
of
the
same
policy.
So
we
wanted
to
outline
for
you
that
you
already
had
first
reading
for
the
information
in
red,
but
tonight
the
only
thing
that
you
are
considering
is
the
purple
for
first
reading.

Various
schools
for
things
like
excessively
form-fitting
or
distraction,
so
this
doesn't
this
doesn't
say
that
you
cannot
have
a
visible
tattoo.
So,
as
you
can't
have
a
visible
tattoo,
that
may
cause
a
distraction.
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
some
of
those
fuzzy
languages
that
you're
going
to
end
up
with
a
principal
in
one
school,
saying:
I'm,
distracted
in
a
principal
in
another
school,
saying,
you're,
but
we're
the
ones
that
are
going
to
get
sued.
So.
Z
Dress
code
policies:
this
isn't
anything
that
I
hadn't
told
Reverend
Collins
and
the
rest
of
the
team,
but
typically
policies
are
written
generally
without
very
many
specifics.
For
that
very
same
reason
in
the
Student
Code
of
Conduct
addresses
them
more
specifically,
so
that
the
school
leaders
can
then
you
know,
make
informed
decisions
with
regards
to
how
they
want
to
enforce
things
in
their
school
building.
