Why
don't
we
just
we
know,
have
a
lot
of
time
to
talk
about
I
mean
we've
all
had
a
lot
of
discussion
on
this?
Can
we
just
go
around
and
see
if
anybody
has
any
comments
they
want
to
make
for
sale
Lloyd,
you
don't
want
to
share
anything
with
us,
not
right.
Now,
okay,
mr.
Miller,
not
voting
share
and
asking
questions.
Oh
no.

End
quote:
I've
had
some
amazingly
enlightening
and
intelligent
discussions
with
you
over
the
years
and
I
have
learned
much
and
yes,
we
disagree
on
several
things,
but
you've
never
diminished
my
opinion
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
Mr.
Hollin
shed
I,
don't
see
anybody
on
this
day
as
who
blindly
follows
anything
that
they
don't
passionately
advocate
for
or
understand
or
believe
in
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
every
single
that
I've
ever
cast
I
can
proudly
stand
up
and
defend
the
reasons
why
I
did
it.
F
I
also
am
concerned
that
there
were
some
accusations
made
regarding
nine
million
dollars
being
spent
by
the
superintendent
and
I
need
to
make
it
very
clear
that
this
board
does
not
have
any
information
or
anything
that
insinuates
the
dr.
McKinley
or
the
two
district
leaders
who
covered
her
positions
in
the
remainder
of
the
1415
school
year,
when
the
18
million
dollar
shortfall
occurred
were
giving
raises
or
paying
extra
people
in
an
effort
to
create
that
shortfall.
F
I
don't
want
former
staff
to
have
to
believe
that.
We
think
that,
coming
into
today,
I
had
no
husband,
50
conversations
about
policy
B
ID,
mr.
Copeland
of
the
d-10
Board
actually
said.
If
you
rescind
the
board's
pay
policy
without
a
guarantee
from
the
delegation
or
even
a
court
decision,
you
lose
whatever
leverage
you
had.
You
might
as
well
ask
the
delegation
to
micromanage
the
CCSD
board.
F
You
will
prove
to
the
legislative
delegation
and
your
employees
that
your
board
is
ineffective
as
someone
who
obtains
the
first
time
and
actually
use
the
word
leverage
before
I
want
to
stand
here
today
and
apologize
to
you
guys.
I
want
to
apologize
to
the
board
to
the
delegation
in
to
the
public.
This
is
public
education
guys.
F
This
is
not
a
chess
game
and
I'm
a
Christian
I'm,
a
member
of
a
family
that
is
happily
living
in
recovery,
I'm,
okay,
that
we
don't
get
to
be
in
control
of
everything
we're
under
the
purview
of
the
General
Assembly
for
better
or
worse,
they
control
our
purse
strings.
They
control
how
we
deliver
education
in
the
classroom.
They
even
get
to
control
that
day.
We're
allowed
to
start
the
school
year.
So
yesterday,
when
a
reporter
asked
mr.
Miller
and
mr.
F
Hawley
said
they
said,
is
this
what
you
should
be
discussing
with
school,
starting
in
just
a
few
short
weeks?
Well,
the
answer
is
no,
it's
not
it's
important.
It's
necessary.
There
is
an
inequity.
Berkeley,
County
and
Dorchester
are
violating
the
same
things
that
we're
being
accused
of
violating
and
CCSD
is
a
donor
district,
our
tax
money
towards
other
school
districts.
We
only
get
50
cents
back
on
the
dollar
that
we
send
up
there,
so
there
are
districts
being
funded
by
Charleston
County
taxpayer,
money
that
could
well
be
receiving
salaries,
but
I.
C
You
I'm
serving
the
school
board
on
roughly
nine
years
now
and
when
I
came
on
the
school
board
and
it
wasn't
getting
a
paycheck
but
I'm
not
getting
one
now
other
than
$25.
So
for
me,
it's
not
about
the
money.
It's
about
the
legality
of
what
we're
doing
and
as
the
local
delegation
has
the
authority
to
control
the
school
district
and
not
other
school
districts
across
the
state
of
South
Carolina.
You
know
the
schools
and
or
if
the
warden
or
County
or
Jasper,
County
or
Richland
County
have
fiscal
autonomy.
C
What
makes
Charlton
so
proud
and
so
unique,
but
the
school
board
doesn't
decide
if
and
when
it
gets
paid
in
how
much?
What
give
the
state
legislators
the
authority
just
say:
well,
hey
they're,
going
to
control
this
vote
here,
but
not
the
others,
so
I'm
concerned
with
the
legality
of
that,
because
that
that's
help
Nev
yoga.
If
it's
a
state
is
going
to
control
the
board,
the
station
also
be
controlling
happens
in
the
classroom.
Is
we
can
sure
control
in
salaries,
Bennett
and
what's
being
taught
to
our
children?
Is
it
had
more
into
it?
C
But
if
I'm
doing
the
work,
if
I'm
making
decisions,
the
founder
is
easier
to
use
if
I'm
doing
discipline
Appeals
in
passing
policy,
it's
all
over
the
area
did
I
Testament,
say
so
in
that
process,
I
should
be
included
and
not
excluded.
As
for
me,
I
like
to
see
that
that
we
get
a
declaratory
judgment,
the
judge,
the
good
legal
opinions
we
get
Advisory
Council
and
then
at
the
20
times,
when
it's
our
play,
it
up
to
see
what
the
law
says
there.
There
is
no
law.
C
Nowhere
in
the
books
of
soccer
Island
display
is
school.
Boards
cannot
determine
their
fate.
No
such
law
exists.
We
have
definite
from
a
former
attorney
general's
opinion.
Until
someone
can
show
us
one,
it's
going
to
be
the
case.
That's
going
to
be
a
gray
area
still
that
the
size
Revell
out
those
are
physical
autonomy.
So
I'm
disappointed
that
we're
voting
to
rescind
the
policy
to
me
that
kind
of
takes
away
the
merit
of
the
case.
I
might
rather
see
the
case
goes:
go
to
court,
see
it
resolves.
C
You've
worked
out
to
bring
clarity
or
whether
not
the
Charlton
County
school
just
has
been
discriminated
against
or
not
what
other
scooters
have
fiscal
autonomy
and
so
so
I'm
starting
to
sort
of
grieve.
The
second
thing
is
that
if
we
vote
Soros
in
of
this
policy,
it
needs
to
go
back
to
policy
and
have
a
second
reason,
just
like
it
was
created
by
two
readings.
One
reading
does
not
return.
The
policy
alone
has
to
go
back
and
do
twice.
The
same
way
was
crazy
and
it
should
have.
C
D
First
I
wasn't
going
to
say
anything,
but
since
then
dereference
me
in
her
speech,
I
felt
the
need
to
speak.
So,
for
those
who
know
me
and
at
least
know
me
a
little
bit,
I'm
very
delivered
and
what
I
say
and
I'm
very
intentional
in
what
I
say
only
say
what
I
mean
and
so
I
would
say
this
rescinding.
This
motion
still
does
not
provide
the
board
the
state
or
the
school
district.
Any
clarity
on
what
the
law
says
it
doesn't.
D
There
may
be
differences
of
opinion
on
board
compensation.
How
much
compensation
is
warranted
for
board
members?
Should
constituent
board
members
be
compensated
for
their
services
and
alike,
but
again
we
sending
this
policy
policy
be
ID
does
not
provide
us
any
clarity
on
exactly
what
the
members
who
voted
for
the
policy
or
being
accused
of
which
is
violating
the
law,
and
so
my
only
hope
is
that
those
who
are
going
to
vote
to
rescind
the
motion
are
also
going
to
look
to
find
clarity
in
the
law
as
well.
D
E
Want
to
go
same
thing
either
we're
just
going
to
let
it
go,
but
I
tell
you
just
to
clear
things
up.
You
know,
since
I
gather
this
board
certain
board
members
when
they
came
to
me
and
I
won't
call
their
names
talked
about
the
board
paper,
because
I
have
some
friends
or
relationships
with
the
delegation.
I
then
proceeded
back
in
March
to
try
to
get
the
board
pain
straightened
out
with
the
delegation.
I
met
with
several
lawmakers
from
the
North
Area
and
West
Ashley
to
see
what
they
could
do.
E
Now
we
have
one
representative
on
the
educational
committee
that
was
going
to
introduce
legislation
to
give
the
school
district
its
autonomy,
but
was
told
that
at
the
time
the
gesture
did
not
want
them
to
proceed
now
representative,
when
the
Gilyard
thought
that
that
was
crazy
and
he
wanted
the
district
to
have
its
autonomy.
So
Wendell
crafted
legislation
back
tomorrow,
March
and
presented
it
to
the
delegation
and
they
went
to
his
waiting
period.
E
E
So
therefore,
more
discussion
got
to
talking
with
other
board
members,
and
they
were
talking
about
the
gray
area
too
long,
and
then
we
introduced
the
policy
be
ID.
Now
some
board
members
will
not
own
up
to
the
conversations
to
it.
When
the
pressure
came,
they
began
to
flip-flop
and
I
think,
but
Michael
and
I
tried
to
do
was
basically
let
everybody
know
where
we
stood
and
how
we
felt
about
the
particular
issue.
It
wasn't
about
the
beat
the
board
members
down
there.
Anything
like
that.
E
It's
the
basic
state,
how
we
felt
so
here
we
are
today,
as
Michael
just
said:
some
want
to
pursue
the
lawsuit
and
get
clarity,
but
they
don't
want
to
own
up
to
their
parts.
But
then
that's
politics,
but
again
I
think
it
shouldn't
be
rescinded.
I
think
it
needs
to
go
frame
to
a
later
time,
while
the
lawsuit
is
being
weighed
in
on.
Thank
you
thank.
H
It
is
clear
that
when
we
ran
for
the
board,
we
knew
at
that
initial
time
what
the
pay
was.
So
there
is
no
question
of.
Rather
not
we
ran
on
the
basis
of
what
the
salary
would
be.
What
the
paper
meeting
would
be
clearly,
I
would
believe
that
we
ran
because
we
wanted
to
improve
the
quality
of
education
in
Charleston
County.
H
At
some
point,
once
we
have
gotten
elected
to
the
board,
some
of
us
learn
that
it
is
way
more
than
what
was
initially
seen
from
the
Outer
Banks
to
what
actually
goes
on
on
the
inside
the
amount
of
time
and
requirement
it
takes
to
do
the
service
and
deliver
the
type
of
quality
of
education
that
we're
trying
to
improve
in
Charleston.
County
I
strongly
believe
at
this
point
that
at
some
point
a
conversation
needs
to
be
increased
for
board
members
simply
because
of
the
level
of
complexity
that
we
do
find
of
the
scale
of
work.
H
That's
required
should
this
be
that
the
topic
of
the
high
point
when
we're
nearly
the
beginning
of
opening
up
schools.
Absolutely
not.
We
should
be
talking
about
making
sure
that
we're
readily
prepared
for
the
first
day
of
August
17,
but
we
have
spent
an
exhausting
amount
of
time
trying
to
determine
how
much
we
should
get
paid.
H
Teachers
have
complained
about
their
pay
for
a
number
of
years
and
I
believe
we're
put
in
a
budget
somewhere
where
teachers
will
be
given
a
pay
increase
and
to
make
a
long
story
short
I
do
feel
at
some
point
board.
Members
should
be
compensated
more
than
than
where
they
are
at
this
point.
I
do
feel
that
some
type
of
answer
need
to
be
given
as
to
whether
or
not
this
board
have
the
legal
right
to
increase
pay
all
to
give
a
pay
increase.
H
H
The
question
that
comes
to
my
mind
and
then
I
go
back
and
forth
was
when
I
looked
at
the
fact
that
City
Council
County
Council,
even
on
state
lawmakers
of
giving
himself
a
pay
increase,
I,
look
at
other
school
board's
in
Charleston,
County
now
and
not
Charleston
County,
but
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
Berkeley,
County
Greenville
that
actually
get
compensated
for
the
work
that
they
do.
Why
is
it
when
it
comes
to
Charleston
County?
H
It
becomes
being
an
issue,
so
I
think
at
some
point.
Sooner
than
later,
we
need
to
determine:
do
we
have
the
right
to
increase
our
pay
and
if
so,
how
is
the
best
way
to
go
about
doing
it?
Who
makes
that
determination
into
the
delegation
or
do
we
allow
the
lawsuit
that
has
transpired
to
let
it
go
through
so
that
the
judge
can
determine
whether
or
not
we
can?
H
Okay,
not
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
the
answer
to
the
question,
but
I
do
know
that
at
some
point
we
should
be
compensated
for
the
level
of
work
that
we
do
clearly
is
a
job.
That's
never
given
any
thanks,
but
is
required
of
us
to
make
decisions.
That's
going
to
be
in
the
best
interest
of
all
kids,
so
I
hope
that
at
some
point
and
I'm
not
dragging
a
long
time,
but
I'm
really
trying
to
be
very
cautious
and
the
words
that
I
use
and
I
don't
say
much,
but.
H
A
Okay,
Todd's
call
the
question
very
good
cold
good.
If
everybody's
had
a
chance
I'm
just
going
to
answer
this
question
and
we'll
vote
I
think
the
thing
that
sets
it
apart
is
that
we
reform
to
the
act
of
consolidation
and
I
agree
with
all
of
you
guys
that
we
need
to
look
to
find
clarity
in
that
law.
No
matter
how
we
vote
what
the
outcome
is,
we
need
to
find
clarity
in
that
law.
Okay,.
A
A
G
I
think
what
I
would
like
safe.
However,
we
end
up
voting
today.
I
do
think.
We've
had
at
least
four
members
of
the
Charleston
County
legislative
delegation
who
have
basically
stood
up
and
said
that
they
have
an
interest
in
this,
so
if
they
have,
let's
I
want
them.
How
do
we
vote
today?
I
want
them
to
step
forward
and
address
the
1967
act
of
consolidation
that
singles
out
Charleston
County
different
from
the
other
102
school
districts
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
for
special
treatment.
This
act,
consolidation
has
been
around
for
52
years.
G
It
is
antiquated.
It
is
not
representative
the
way
that
people
interact
in
2017
and
it
needs
to
be
addressed,
and
the
four
legislative
delegation
members
from
Charleston
County,
who
have
stepped
forward
and
made
their
voices
heard
on
this
I
issue,
a
challenge
I,
would
hope.
We
all
do
that.
They
now
say
what
waited
into
this,
that
they
need
to
pick
up
the
mantle
on
that
and
look
at
the
1967
act
of
consolidation
and
modernize.
It
that's
okay,.
B
E
D
H
F
Absolutely
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
this
I've
been
talking
about
this
since
2013
I
agree,
I'm,
not
interested
in
not
pursuing
a
court
resolution
to
the
answer
to
this
question.
I
think
that's
something
I
would
ask
the
board
to
continue
to
move
forward
with,
particularly
given
that
they're
say
in
Charleston
County
tax
one
should
not
fund
boards
and
they
are
funding.
Other
districts
so
be
very
clear.
I
I,
don't
know
that
this
was
the
right
amount.
A
F
I
think
you
need
to
write
a
letter
to
the
delegation
asking
them
to
come
to
the
table.
Okay,
I'm,
not
saying
that,
because
we
write
that
letter,
we
should
give
up
for
suing
a
response
in
court
again
right
where
we're
spending
money
in
other
districts.
This
is
not
a
Charleston
County
lost
anymore
and.
D
D
The
word
rescind
rescinding
active
consolidation
that
was
set
in
is
liable,
said
because
chocolate
County
was
the
last
School
District
in
the
state
to
integrate
schools.
That's
why
it
was
in
place,
and
so
in
the
for
the
record.
No,
the
motion
passed,
but
it
does
not
mean
that
the
lawsuit
is
going
to
go
away
either.
So
I
mean
we're
not
out
of
hot
water.
If
you
want
to
call
it
hot
water,
we're
just
back
to
where
we
were
we're.
Just
back
to
women
were
before
with
the
lawsuit
pending.
So.
E
E
A
C
H
G
A
A
Bca
board,
which
we've
read
it
on
the
wall
board
member
code
of
ethics,
purpose
to
establish
the
basic
structure
for
ethical
board,
conduct
the
board
of
trustees
of
the
Charleston
County
School
District,
and
the
boards
of
the
constituent
district
commit
themselves
and
their
members
to
ethical,
civil,
businesslike
and
lawful
conduct,
including
proper
use
of
authority
and
appropriate
decorum.
When
acting
as
board
members,
the
board
shall
have
the
authority
and
the
responsibility
to
apply
these
standards
of
conduct.
A
A
board
member
shall
honor
the
high
responsibilities
that
his/her
membership
demands
by
doing
the
following,
thanking
always
in
terms
of
effectively
meeting
educational
goals
for
all
children.
Understanding
that
the
basic
function
of
the
school
board
is
policy,
making
not
administration
and
accepting
the
responsibility
of
learning
to
Dennis
to
discriminate
intelligently
between
the
two
functions,
accepting
their
responsibility
along
with
his
or
her
fellow
board.
Members
of
budgeting,
so
that
facilities
and
resources
are
provided
for
the
effective
functioning
of
schools,
placing
chilled
interests
above
partisan
or
other
political
interests
representing
at
all
times
the
entire
school
district.
A
Profanity,
threats,
threatening
job
termination
or
abusive
language
is
prohibited
and,
if
used
may
subject
a
board
member
to
public
reprimand
and
if
repeated,
constitute
cause
of
removal
from
the
office
through
the
procedures,
as
provided
in
South
Carolina
Code,
section
5,
9
1960,
so
I've
just
asked
that
we
make
sure
we
are
conforming
to
our
standard
of
civility.
It's.
