B
M
Okay,
madam
chair,
we
have
believe
11
visitors
that
have
been
signed
up
to
speak
tonight.
I
do
want
to
read
policy
code,
B
E,
which
is
a
reminder.
It's
a
public
comment.
It
clearly
says
board
meeting
shall
be
conducted
in
an
orderly
and
efficient
manner.
Any
individual
who
desires
to
appear
before
a
regular
meeting
of
the
board
shall
sign
in
prior
to
5:15
p.m.
open
session
and
will
be
allowed
a
maximum
of
two
minutes
to
address
the
board.
M
No
speaker
may
use
public
comments
to
discuss
personnel
matters
all
matters,
otherwise
private
or
confidential
speakers
are
to
discuss
issues,
not
individuals.
The
chairmen
are
to
designate
Authority
terminate
any
speakers
time
who
does
not
observe
this
policy,
and
we
have
with
us
tonight:
Christian
French,
Carroll
temple,
George
temple
and
Jesse
Williams.
If
you
would
please
come
in
those
order.
Q
Hello,
Kristen,
French
and
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
vote
to
close
Garret
Academy.
One
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
is
that
I
think
that
there
are
students
who
are
interested
in
these
trade
programs
and
that,
if
even
if
the
ultimate
decision
is
to
move
these
programs
to
a
center
for
academic
studies
are
for
Advanced.
Studies.
Q
Excuse
me
that
there
are
students
they're
going
to
miss
out
if
Garret
is
closed,
while
the
new
building
is
being
built
and
won't
be
able
to
participate
on
term
in
learning
trades
that
might
help
them
and
help
the
economy.
So
I
hope
that,
as
you
move
forward,
you'll
consider
that
it
may
not
be
a
good
idea
to
close
Garret
down
or
stop
students
from
enrolling
during
the
time
that
you're
building
the
new
Center.
A
R
Good
evening,
everyone,
and
thanks
for
your
service
this
evening,
I,
went
and
speak
about
era
in
the
early
90s
I
was
involved
with
the
team
of
educators
in
the
community
to
work
on
developing
Garrett
Academy.
We
worked
on
the
concept.
We
visited
a
variety
of
schools
around
the
country
and
worked
on
developing
this
concept
for
Garrett,
so
I
still
believe
as
I.
Believe
then
that
it
was
a
good
plan
for
us
to
have
Garrett
Academy
for
technology,
then
and
I
think
it
is
still
relevant
today.
R
What
I
would
suggest,
however,
is
that
we
not
close
Garrett
Academy,
that
we
keep
Garrett
Academy
and
that
we
build
the
center
on
the
campus
at
Garrett.
I
think
that
enhancing
Garrett
we
have
already
have
a
community
at
Garrett,
a
culture
for
that
particular
school
and
I.
Think
that
we're
at
the
point
of
it's
been
some
20
years,
since
we've
really
done
a
lot
to
make
Garrett
more
relevant
to
the
kinds
of
careers
we
have
today
and
so
it's
time
to
upgrade.
So.
Thank
you.
Thank.
S
T
Could
even
I'm
here
to
speak
about
the
petition
concerning
Garrett?
First
of
all,
the
the
school
helps
students
attain
their
goals
and
what
I
mean
by
that?
Is
that
the
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
comments,
that's
been
made.
I
read
some
in
a
minute
and
I:
don't
have
I
can't
do
it
in
two
minutes,
but
I
read
a
few
of
them,
but
my
ask
is
that
you
vote
down
this
proposal
to
close
Garrett
Academy
of
Technology
and
to
put
the
CAS
at
North
Charleston
High
School.
T
It's
a
bad
idea
all
together,
I
ask
that
you
vote
that
down
and
I
asked
that
you
vote
to
perpetually
keep
Garrett
Academy
of
Technology
open
right
now
until
the
final
decisions
made
about
the
CIS
to
simple
ass
for
right
now
to
simple
asked.
If
we
could
put
that
in
writing,
that
would
be
great
walk
so
that
the
school
and
the
teachers
and
the
students
and
the
community,
the
neighborhood
everybody
across
the
board
in
Charleston
County,
will
have
assurance
that
the
district
is
not
working
to
close
the
school
as
it
has
been
in
the
past.
T
I
want
to
read
a
couple
of
comments
here
from
students
Jamie
Parks.
We
need
to.
We
need
to.
We
need
great
opportunities,
not
take
them
away.
It
starts
with
you,
our
younger
generation.
This
is
an
alumni
Kathy
Mills
from
Murrells
Inlet
I
have
grandchildren
living
in
Charleston
who
planned
to
go
to
Garrett
and
take
courses.
If
you
close
Garrett,
you
will
be
taken
away
their
future.
This
is
not
dramatic.
This
is
these
are
actual
comments.
My
daughter
graduated
from
this
school.
What
I
do
not
understand
is
why
our
schools
are
the
targets.
T
Every
time
the
Garrett
School
Yolanda
Bostick
from
North
Charleston
I
graduated
from
from
this
school
over
30
years
ago.
It
should
stay
open
to
help.
Kids
are
betrayed,
who
will
not
be
attending
college
Devon,
wolf
I'm
signing
this
petition
because,
as
a
former
Garrett
student
at
Garrett
Tech,
it
has
offered
me
so
many
opportunities.
Thank
you.
T
M
U
I'm
Christopher
Randall
I'm
a
Garrard
alumni
just
here
to
pretty
much
pour
my
heart
out.
Lettin
y'all
know
that
it's
a
bad
idea
to
close
the
school
I
lived
in
the
neighborhoods
in
that
area.
I
chose
that
school,
because
I
felt
that
it
gave
me
a
better
right
to
my
future.
They
provided
me
with
job
assistance.
I
actually
got
a
job
in
my
senior
year,
work
my
whole
senior
year
and
automotive,
and
got
into
manufacturing
right
after
that,
and
now
I
am
a
manufacturing
technician
at
Boeing
I've
been
there
for
almost
eight
years.
U
I
think
if
you
close
this
school
you'll
be
taking
away
a
lot
in
the
community
I
think,
instead
of
closing
it,
you
should
look
at
updating
it,
bringing
in
more
stuff.
We
have
automotive
industry,
we're
manufacturing.
We
have
aircraft
manufacturing.
There
is
so
many
other
things
that
could
be
brought
in
to
make
the
school
better
the
teachers,
some
of
the
teachers,
have
went
out
of
their
way
to
help
me.
My
wife
is
also
a
graduate
help
her.
When
we
had
issues
at
home,
I
mean
some
of
them
are
like
family
now.
U
V
Good
evening
my
name
is
Julia
Eichelberger
I
am
a
member
of
the
Charleston
Area
Justice
Ministry
and
there's
some
other
members
of
this
organization
here
tonight.
If
you
would
just
stand,
and
so
we
could
see
that
you
all
are
here,
it's
nice
to
see
all
of
you
again,
I
want
to
congratulate
the
board
for
taking
the
steps
to
implement
PBIS
district-wide
and
to
do
a
five
school
pilot
for
restorative
practices.
Our
teachers
are
our
most
valuable
assets
and
they
are
worth
investing
in
I
know.
V
You
all
know
that
teachers
and
staff
must
be
supported
in
the
effort
to
change
school
climate,
so
funding
for
training
is
absolutely
necessary
to
back
these
programs.
We
have
parents
and
grandparents
who
have
kids
in
schools
that
do
not
currently
have
restorative
practices,
and
we
believe
that
every
Charleston
County
school
needs
restorative
practices,
we're
surrounded
by
conflict
on
a
daily
basis.
V
We
see
it
locally
and
in
our
world
what
happens
when
individuals
do
not
know
how
to
process
conflict
or
address
it
in
a
healthy
way,
so
restorative
practices
is
something
that
all
of
us
can
benefit
from.
The
trust
marry
justice
ministry
is
going
to
continue
meeting
with
Jennifer
Coker
and
with
mr.
Farrakhan,
who
is
the
restorative
practice
coordinator,
to
ensure
that
these
programs
are
being
implemented
with
fidelity.
We're
very
excited
about
that.
V
We
look
forward
to
sitting
down
with
each
of
you
over
the
course
of
the
next
few
months
to
share
with
you
the
power
of
these
two
programs
and
to
urge
you
to
make
sure
that
the
Charleston
County
School
District,
creates
a
plan
to
implement
restorative
practices
district-wide
and
to
provide
the
necessary
funding.
Thank
you.
Thank.
M
A
W
W
We
need
leadership
that
will
do
four
simple
things.
We
need
leadership
that
will
do
things
right,
treat
people
right,
tell
the
truth
and
follow
the
law
we're
not
even
close
on
any
of
those
we're
not
closed
on
special
ed,
we're
not
close
on
strategic
plan,
we're
not
close
on
evaluation.
We
can't
even
get
FOIA
right,
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
a
monkey
can
follow
for
you.
W
W
W
C
C
More
importantly,
I
speak
for
the
hundreds
of
teachers
and
administrators
who
have
contacted
me
privately
for
fear
of
signing
that
same
petition
who
are
ready
for
positive
change
and
true
leadership,
and
the
superintendent
see
most
of
us
here
tonight
agree
that
CCSD
is
in
a
chaotic
state
and
after
two
years
we've
all
had
enough.
I'd
suggest
that
you
be
honest
with
yourselves
and
ask
what
positive
change
has
truly
occurred
over
the
last
two
years
during
the
superintendent's
tenure,
the
creation
of
an
Early
College,
High
School,
perhaps
a
balanced
budget.
C
C
These
last
two
years,
most
educators
contend
that
schools
have
been
cut,
resources
and
needed
personnel,
while
district
staff
has
grown
while
district
staff
members
travel
for
professional
development
and
while
district
staff
attempt
to
lead
from
the
offices
at
Calhoun
Street
instead
of
in
schools
beside
children
and
teachers,
students
have
suffered
along
the
way,
making
few
of
any
gains
in
student
achievement
and
growth
as
a
result
of
depleted
resources,
lack
of
vision
and
failed
communication.
At
the
same
time,
the
superintendent
has
managed
to
alienate
both
parents
and
teachers.
C
The
two
stakeholder
groups
who
have
the
most
influence
in
the
lives
of
our
children,
while,
ironically
claiming
she's
focused
on
the
children
and
not
adult
issues
top
down
to
find
autonomy,
does
not
work
in
business
and
it
doesn't
work
in
schools.
Instead,
it's
empowering
and
supporting
educators
that
make
a
true
difference.
The
demand
for
change
is
not
going
away,
and
neither
is
the
resistance.
The
district
and
its
children
deserve
better
than
chaos.
X
Chairman
darby
superintendent,
postal
Wade
and
members
of
the
board
greetings
and
thank
you
for
providing
me
this
opportunity
to
address
the
board.
I
sent
the
board
a
letter
earlier
today
that
I'm
going
to
recite
just
for
the
record
I
understand
that
there
are
some
compelling
reasons
for
the
closure
of
Garrett
and
to
merge
it
with
North
Charleston
High
School.
There's
no
question,
as
Garrett
has
suffered
from
institutional
neglect,
leading
to
dwindling
enrollment,
crumbling
infrastructure,
loss
of
teachers
and
the
closure
of
many
of
its
trade
programs.
X
Further,
the
new
CAS
is
slated
to
house
many
of
the
trade
programs
that
Garrett
currently
offers
and
previously
did
additionally
in
North
Charleston
High
School
has
low
enrollment
with
a
facility
that
was
recently
renovated.
Taking
all
of
these
things
into
consideration,
the
practical
decision
would
seem
to
favor
closure
and
the
lifting
shift
that
has
been
proposed
by
the
district.
However,
what
may
seem
practical
is
not
in
the
best
interest
of
the
students
in
North
Charleston.
There's,
no
question
that
the
CNS
will
be
a
tremendous
asset
for
the
city.
X
It
has
done
wonders
for
Mount
Pleasant
and,
if
done
right,
can
do
the
same
in
our
city
of
North
Charleston.
However,
the
primary
argument
that
Garrett
must
close
in
order
to
make
room
for
the
CAS
I
believe
is
a
weak
one.
I
believe
Garrett
can
work
in
conjunction
with
the
CAS,
for
instance,
which
CCSD
ever
closed
the
academic
magnet
high
school.
Since
we
now
have
our
early
college.
Well,
let's
say
we
built
a
Center
for
academic
excellence
in
North
Charleston.
My
guess
would
be
a
resounding
no
for
me.
X
X
Once
again,
we
have
an
opportunity
to
show
this
county
that
it's
committed
to
all
the
communities
and
will
invest
time,
money
and
resources
into
adequately
educating
and
equipping
the
students
in
all
ends
of
our
county,
to
that
in
I
believe
it
would
be
appropriate
to
put
the
facility
at
the
current
site
it's
right
for
redevelopment
with
the
state
of
the
Technology
Center,
with
Garrett
at
its
anger,
there's
more
on
the
letter.
You
all
have
it
in
your
inboxes
and
I'll
be
more
than
glad
to
discuss
it
in
front
of
detail.
X
N
Good
evening,
dr.
post-soviet
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
board,
my
name
is
John
Hale,
a
proud
member
of
the
quality
education
project
and
I
like
to
reiterate
that
my
comments
are
that
of
the
organization
and
not
of
any
state
institutions.
I
want
to
remind
everybody
on
the
board
tonight
and
in
the
audience
that
we're
acting
in
a
very
key
historic
moment
this
evening
tonight
is
that
celebrates
the
day
of
the
60th
anniversary
of
the
attempted
desegregation
of
Little
Rock,
high
school
and
I.
Think
all
the
decisions
made
tonight
will
reflect
where
Charleston
stands.
N
Sixty
years
after
we
attempted
to
desegregate
schools,
specifically
I
asked
three
things:
the
first,
when
you
vote
on
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
being
built
at
North,
Charleston
High
School,
there
is
a
list
of
over
1,500
petitioners
of
people
of
color
and
poor
families
who
are
asking
that
Garrett
remains
open.
Garrett
current
Garrett
high
school
serves
a
very
important
social
and
political
need
to
a
community
to
close
that
and
to
move
it
to
North
Charleston
for
an
economic
imperative
is
an
immoral
decision.
Given
the
community
support
to
keep
Garrett
open.
N
N
When
you
look
at
Elizabeth
Eckford
and
the
eight
other
children
who
sacrifice
innocents
childhood
and
youth
to
desegregate
white
schools,
because
southern
and
federal
law
dictated
that
school
should
be
segregated
school
choice
and
the
protection
of
laws
that
privatized
our
public
schools
are,
in
effect,
segregating
our
schools.
Much
like
they
were
sixty
years
today.
N
I
beg
the
board
to
consider
all
actions
about
school
choice
and
to
consider,
in
this
historic
context
that
we
act
in
this
moment
that
we
abolish
school
choice
and
prevent
any
further
openings
of
public-private
partnerships
in
charter
schools
in
Charleston
County,
in
the
best
interest
of
not
only
students
of
color
and
poor
families,
but
also
white
parents
and
students
as
well.
Thank
you
thank.
Q
L
Good
evening,
dr.
post
awaiting
board
I
want
to
talk
for
a
few
minutes
about
leadership.
I
see
that
that's
gonna
be
the
discussion
tonight.
Leadership
from
the
board
and
I
want
to
talk
about
that
from
the
context
of
Garrett.
My
position
is
that
Garrett
should
remain
open.
It's
a
community
school
people
in
the
community
have
concerns
that
need
to
be
listened
to,
and
my
position
on
that
is
that
I
feel
the
board
has
not
been
open
to
that.
Good
leadership
from
the
board
and
from
a
superintendent
standpoint
is
leadership
that
pays
attention
to
the
community.
L
You
take
the
time
to
invest
in
their
community
and
to
find
out
what
people
want.
As
dr.
Hale
mentioned,
there
is
a
petition
with
names
on
it,
and
people
have
concerns
and
they
voiced
the
concern
to
keep
that
school
open.
My
position
that
the
current
time
is
that
the
board
refrain
from
taking
any
action
until
you
invest
in
the
community
and
find
out
what
those
wishes
are.
What
those
concerns
are
I,
don't
think
you've
really
done
that
as
a
board.
Their
voices
are
important.
They
have
concerns
as
a
community
school.
L
We
have
a
record
in
this
community
of
closing
schools
that
are
important
to
communities
of
color.
We
need
to
refrain
from
those
actions,
so
I
urge
you
tonight
to
strongly
consider
taking
not
taking
any
action
on
Garrett
until
you
invest
the
time
that
isn't,
it
is
necessary
to
hear
from
the
voices
of
people
in
that
particular
community.
Community
Garrett
is
a
community
school,
it's
a
school
that
is
vital
to
people
in
that
particular
community.
L
It's
predominantly
minority
and
those
voices
should
be
heard
and
in
my
mind
my
understanding
is
that
that
is
what
is
reflective
good
leadership,
not
just
leading
from
top-down
actions,
but
taking
in
consideration
what
people
in
a
community
are
concerned
about
and
taking
the
time
to
listen
to
those
individuals
in
that
community.
So
I
urge
you
to
refrain
from
actions
and
to
consider
that
approach
to
leadership
moving
forward
on
the
gare
issue.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.

Chair
Darby
vice-chair
max
superintendent
post
awake
members
of
the
board.
This
updates
a
little
different
than
it
would
have
been
had
I,
given
it
almost
six
weeks
ago.
What
I
want
to
focus
on
tonight
is
how
we
are
still
striving
towards
continuous
improvement
and
some
of
the
strategies
we're
putting
in
place
now.
Ccsd
did
have
teams
of
support
out
and
about
the
first
day
of
school,
and
those
teams,
for
the
most
part,
reported
a
smooth
launch
to
the
2017-2018
school
year.
But
we
are
already
elbow
deep
in
work.
Z
We
have
work
underway,
we're
in
currently
in
the
process
of
data
analysis
for
data
where
the
embargoes
have
been
lifted,
such
as
a
CT
and,
of
course,
for
our
internal
assessments
such
as
math
our
goal.
That's
used
to
replicate
best
practices
within
CCSD
and
take
the
strategies
that
work
to
scale,
and
we
spent
time
at
the
last
principals
meeting
reviewing
map
data
and
we
have
Mitchell
elementary
school
presenting
this
week
and,
yes,
we
are
going
to
focus
on
performance
and
growth.
Z
You
I
heard
you
I
made
note
and
we
will
look
at
performance
and
growth,
we're
also
busy
preparing
for
the
October
student
teacher
conferences
and
for
the
district
constituent
board
presentations
that
our
principals
will
be
conducting.
So
that's
on
our
list
this
week
to
work
with
principals
there,
a
principal
meeting
this
week,
SC
paths,
SC,
ready
and,
of
course,
test
scores
from
the
state
will
be
received
and
the
the
embargo
will
be
lifted
also
for
a
peace
course
within
the
next
week.
Z
Next
week,
a
CT
for
11th
grade
and
WorkKeys
will
be
received
and
that
embargo
will
be
lifted,
so
Laura,
Donnelly
and
Eric
Erica
Taylors
arthas's
will
be
working,
provide
you
with
the
data
as
soon
as
the
state
releases
them.
So
when
they're
received
our
goal,
we
sat
down
to
the
matrix
plotted
it
out.
Our
goal
is
to
give
it
to
you
justice.
It
hits
that
press
so
you're
aware
and
that
you
know
so.
Z
I
can't
recall,
but
we'll
have
two
pieces
to
share
with
you
in
November
we're
also
going
to
be
talking
with
you
and
with
our
principals
about
the
state's
new
accountability
system.
It's
brand-new.
It
was
just
approved
at
the
education
Oversight
Committee
meeting
this
month
and
we
will
be
doing
a
deep
dive
into
what
that
means
for
CCSD.
What
do
we
need
to
know?
How
do
we
need
to
progress,
monitor
our
schools?
How
do
we
progress
monitor
by
grade
level
by
classroom
by
school
and
at
the
central
office
level,
so
we
can
provide
support.
Z
So
we
look
forward
to
bringing
that
information
to
you.
We're
also
working
on
pilots
and
the
strategies
you
identified
last
year's
priorities,
so
the
phonics
pilot,
the
math
curriculum
pilot,
the
blended
learning,
just
to
name
a
few,
the
works
underway
on
those
we're
excited
about
this
upcoming
year.
We
look
forward
to
talking
with
you
about
our
work
all
year,
long.
AA
It's
an
honor
for
me
to
give
you
a
snapshot
of
that
work
for
the
past
several
months
from
the
dedicated
team
that
works
in
operations
for
every
complaint
that
you
may
receive,
occasionally,
there's
hundreds
of
thousands
of
accomplishments
that
go
on
behind
the
scenes,
which
is
where
we
like
to
be
in
this
way.
So
if
you
want
to
put
it
on
presentation
view,
lower
right-hand
corner
I'm,
gonna
call
it
Reggie
McNeal
he's
going
to
cover
all
of
our
granddaughter.
I
So
good
evening,
so
by
no
means
what
I'm
going
to
present
as
really
capture
the
magnitude
of
the
manpower
or
the
material
needed
to
build
a
new
school
at
a
new
school
or
do
an
expansion
or
a
de
Wien
and
all
the
things
that
we've
done
this
summer.
So
the
next
slide,
please
some
of
these
projects
find
hers.
Some
of
these
projects
that
I'm
going
to
brief
you
on
some
were
done
underneath
the
Phase
three
building
program,
and
then
there
was
one
that
was
done
under
phase
four
program
as
a
early-out.
I
The
first
project
is
Pinehurst
Pinehurst.
We
were
actually
able
to
construct
a
30,000
square
foot
addition
wing
addition
at
that
school
where
now
we're
housing,
the
1st
and
the
5th
graders
in
that
wing,
and
at
the
same
time
now
we
are
in
the
process
of
building
out
the
5th
grade
wing
expansion
to
be
completed
at
the
first
quarter
of
this
2018.
I
Let
me
stop
right
there
for
a
second
and
easy
with
Deer
Park
middle
school
expansion.
That's
cool
the
highlight
from
there
is
that
we
were
able
to
increase
the
capacity
of
the
students
there
by
about
300.
So
there's
a
total
of
600
students
at
that
school.
The
capacity
of
that
school
is
about
600.
Now
we
were
also
able
to
do
a
master
plan.
We
already
completed
phase
one
and
phase
two
of
that
master
plan,
so
we
are
now
going
through
design
development
and
going
into
construction
documents.
I
Fourth
phase:
three
phase
three
is
going
to
up
fit
the
gym.
That
is
there
and
also
add
on
a
new
cafeteria
and
an
arts
and
a
Music
Space
Camp
Road
middle
school,
so
in
capital
middle
school.
That
was
a
great
project
73
days
in
the
summer.
To
get
make
it
happen.
We
actually
went
over
from
James
Island
middle
school
and
went
in
there,
and
we
started
to
renovate
some
of
the
spaces
and
also
we
added
some
learning
cottages
at
that
site
to
house
the
students
over
at
the
for
John
Middle
School
for
Johnson
mill
school.
I
Of
course,
you
know
we're
closing
that
site
down
in
order
to
construct
the
camper
old
middle
school
project,
so
that's
going
to
take
place
starting
soon
in
this
fiscal
year
and
then
it
won't
complete
into
the
year
20.
It's
a
great.
You
know:
we've
added
six
learning
colleges
at
James,
Island
middle
school,
now,
Camp,
Road,
middle
school
we've
toured
the
facility
and
right
now
we're
getting
positive
feedback
from
mr.
parlor
and
hats
off
to
him.
I
He
was
able
to
communicate
effectively
communicate
to
all
of
the
parents
and
students
and
people
in
the
community
on
what
we
were
actually
going
to
do
over
the
summer.
So
that
was
a
very
smooth
project
that
was
a
smooth
transition
on
the
start
of
the
school
year.
The
next
one
is
angel
oak
angel
oak.
That
was
the
most
challenging
of
all
of
our
projects
this
year,
but
I
would
like
to
say
one
thing
and
all
the
projects
that
you've
seen
on
the
previous
slide.
I
We
were
able
to
get
these
projects
opened
on
time,
so
the
office
of
school
facilities
gave
us
our
certificate
of
occupancy
at
all
these
locations.
We
had
some
work
to
come
back
and
do
but
this
particular
project
right
here.
We
we
did
a
29,000
square
foot
expansion
to
this
site
where
we
add
a
multi-purpose
room.
We
added
about
10
classrooms.
I
We
we
have
a
drama
room
now:
art
space
we've
also
done
some
work
to
the
kindergarten
in
the
first
grade
and
what's
going
on
right
now,
that's
to
be
completed
at
the
end
of
this
year
is
the
third
and
fourth
grade
pod
renovation.
So
we
picked
out
this
picture
right
here
because
at
first
we
didn't
know
if
it
was
going
to
work
all
that
great,
but
that
out
looks
terrific,
the
kids
loved
it.
I
I
The
next
one,
as
our
largest
project,
it
was
the
Carolina
Park
Elementary
School.
We
open
that
project
again
on
time
and
within
budget,
it's
a
nine
hundred
student
capacity
school
with
the
1200
capacity
core.
So
we
have
it's
a
mirror
image
of
what
you
see
over
there
at
the
jenny
moore
school.
This
was
an
18-month
project.
It
was
a
delivery
method
of
design-build,
so
thompson,
turner
and
jumper
car
seats
were
the
architect
and
the
constructor
that
teamed
up
to
get
this
project
done
great
school
michael
anthony,
he's
very
impressed
with
his
school.
I
We
left
so
again
another
hats
off
to
our
construction
team,
our
program
management
team
to
actually
help
us
put
this
all
together.
So
a
lot
of
work
was
accomplished
again.
This
is
not
a
totality
of
all
the
work
that
we
do,
but
it
was
something
that
we
were
able
to
to
make
happen
within
73
days
of
the
summer.
AA
So
I
want
to
just
quickly
touch
on
a
couple
of
other
missions.
That
operations
covers.
One
is
facility
management,
Reggie,
does
the
new
work
and
renovation
work,
but
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
with
mr.
Crump's
his
team.
You
can
see
over
220
projects
completed,
seven
thousand
plus
work
orders
the
biggest
accomplishments.
There
are
st.
James
Santee
elementary
school,
a
complete
overhaul
that
facility
from
an
infrastructure
perspective
and
military
magnet
got
a
facelift
as
well.
Those
are
the
two
big
projects
that
he
completed
this
year.
AA
I
did
want
to
put
in
perspective
how
much
work
this
group
does
per
year.
Forty-Four
thousand
work
orders
across
the
district.
So
that's
a
lot
of
things
that
happen
that
go
on
behind
the
scenes
and
we
continue
to
remove
and
demolish
trailers
and
get
out
of
those
I
want
to
thank
our
teachers
for
handling
our
HVAC
set
points.
Their
savings
of
energy
in
the
classrooms
has
yield
at
five
point:
five
percent
reduction
and
energy
comes
consumption.
AA
That
brings
three
hundred
forty
thousand
dollars
back
into
the
district
to
be
used
for
other
things,
and
you
can
see
his
total
number
of
flooring
projects
for
the
year
next
slide.
This
is
a
snapshot
of
who
this
work
goes
to.
I
want
to
highlight
our
small
women
minority
business
enterprise
work.
That's
done!
You
can
see
those
significant
numbers,
that's
two
years
of
capital
maintenance
work
and
this
past
summer
of
FCO
facilities
of
well
over
forty
percent
for
swm
be
well
over
thirty
percent
from
minority
work
themselves.
AA
We
had
19
different
contractors,
84
total
projects,
eight
and
a
half
million,
and
we're
proud
to
say
that
the
entire
project
at
Saint
James
auntie,
was
SW
MBE.
That's
over
four
million
dollars
worth
of
work
transportation.
A
lot
of
work
done
this
summer
by
Durham
to
get
the
number
of
drivers
that
they
need
it.
There
were
no
driver
shortages
at
the
start
of
the
school
year.
During
the
process
of
taking
input
from
our
parents.
We
have
a
great,
then
setup
online,
a
one-stop
shop
clicking
on
complaint
complaint
line.
AA
AA
We
managed
those
students
one
by
one,
so
eight
hundred
thirty
thirty
students
get
designated
transportation
whenever
there's
a
change
in
address
a
change
in
school,
a
new
student
added
that
upsets
the
apple
cart
and
we
have
to
go
back
and
take
a
look
at
a
lot
of
things
to
make
sure
all
those
kids
get
to
school.
Three
hundred
changes
have
been
made
since
school
started
for
this
month,
we'll
be
focusing
on
overcrowded
and
late
buses,
and
that
relies
heavily
upon
continued
input
from
our
parents
and
schools,
and
we
hope
to
see
that
get
better.
AA
Next
slide
is
security.
Emergency
management.
This
year
they
held
a
like
they
always
do,
but
they
held
a
five-day
training
for
all
of
our
sorrows
to
make
sure
that
our
school
resource
officers
have
consistent
training
across
the
board.
We
have
four
different
municipalities
that
support
us
in
our
schools.
We
might
want
to
make
sure
things
are
done
consistently
everything
from
our
view
of
mental
health
scenarios.
AA
All
of
that
work
is
done.
A
de-escalation
training
is
done
in
that
training
session,
huge
effort
by
Michael
Ride
box
team
and
then,
when
the
schools
opened,
they
provided
support.
Wherever
we
had
transportation
changes,
the
new
schools
that
opened
Carolina
Park
Camp
Road
middle
school
they're
out
there
making
sure
that
our
parents
get
looped
around
that
make
sure
our
buses
get
looped
around
as
safe
as
possible
and
train
the
staffs
that
are
out
there.
Last
two
slides
and
were
one
is
nutrition
services.
AA
Lunch
participation
is
up
this
year,
I
think
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
so
far
with
the
new
menus.
This
past
summer,
they
held
a
taste
testing
with
students.
They
actually
are
cooking.
The
students
want
that,
while
they
like,
it
is
still
nutritious
and
they
rolled
out
a
new
menu
on
September
5th.
They
put
a
lot
of
new
equipment
in
our
schools,
as
you
can
see
there
and
we're
very
proud
that
we
put
in
for
a
grand
got
more
than
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
worth
of
fruits
and
vegetables
for
our
title.

One:
schools
beyond
the
normal
mealtime,
so
they'll
get
snacks
in
the
day,
fruits
and
vegetables
last
slide
information
technology.
We
started
to
roll
out
our
new
Promethean
screens.
There
are
70
inch
TVs
that
are
replacing
the
smart
boards
provide
a
lot
of
new
support
for
our
teachers
in
the
classroom
that
is
being
paid
for
with
the

The
sales

referendum
that
you
all
voted
for
will
continue
to
roll
those
out.
O
They
two
are
going
to
participate
in
the
strategic
plan
process
and
will
work
with
us
throughout
this
year
to
formulate
ideas,
as
well
as
formulate
solutions
for
ways
that
they
can
be
involved
in
the
work
that
we
do
here
at
the
district
also
want
to
share
with
you
and
you,
may
you
have
this
in
your
packet,
the
dates
for
the
Constituent
Board
annual
reports.
This
is
some
a
report
that
we
do
annually
with
our
constituent
boards,
and
so
we
have
and
I
can
read
them
really
quickly.
O
October
2nd
will
be
a
district
for
October
3rd
district
9,
October
5th
and
district
10
October
10th
district
3,
October
11th
district
20,
October
12th
is
actually
one
of
the
strategic
plan
action
team
meetings
and
that
meetings
held
at
Burke
high
school
October,
17th
district
23,
October,
18th
district
2,
October,
24th
district
1,
October
25th
district
4.
Because
of
the
size
of
the
district.
We
are
breaking
their
their
meeting
into
two
separate
meetings
on
October
26.
We
also
have
another
strategic
action
team
meeting
which
is
held
at
Burke
and
then
on
November
7th.
B
O
The
time
the
time
varies,
but
we
start
between
3:00
3:30,
where
we
have
open
up
open
hours,
office
hours,
where
the
superintendent
is
able
to
talk
with
teachers
at
the
school.
Then
we'll
have
a
community
meet-and-greet,
followed
by
the
principal
reports
and
then
the
Constituent
Board
report.
And
there
is
a
full
schedule
in
your
packets
which
will
and
will
also
be
made
public
so
that
the
community
can
become
aware.
A
Y
A
Y
If
I
know
that
there's
just
so
much
to
process
that
it
can
get
lost,
so
we
will
send
that
out
again.
Each
of
the
sessions
starts
with
open
office
hours
so
that
any
staff
who
work
in
that
area
at
some
point
would
have
time
to
drop
in
there's
a
community
listening
session.
Then
every
school
in
that
area
has
15
minutes
to
present
data,
and
then
we
hear
a
report
back
from
the
Constituent
Board.
So
it's
a
really
busy
month,
but
it's
in
preparation
for
November
13th
sure
we
call.
Y
We
ask
you
to
set
aside
all
day
on
November
13th,
so
that
the
majority
of
the
action
team
leaders
will
be
able
to
come
back
and
present
to
you
their
recommendations.
If
we
Zen
it
on
the
13th
on
the
at
the
November
business
meeting,
then
you'll
consider
approving
the
strategic
plan
and
determining
the
priorities.
Then
in
December
the
budgeting
process
starts
so
that
gets
us
lined
up
the
budget.
Discussions
for
next
year
are
around
the
priorities
that
have
emerged
as
a
result
of
the
strategic
plan.
The
next
board
work
session.
Y
The
next
SEC
session
is
proposed
to
be
held
at
Baptist
Hill
High
School.
The
board
is
going
to
consider
that
proposal
a
little
later
this
evening,
so
I'm
just
reminding
me
that
on
October
13th
from
10:00
to
12:00,
there's
an
Operations
workshop
where
you're
going
to
get
a
preview
of
the
the
next
recommendation,
the
building
program,
and
then
you
ask
for
one
hour
to
look
at
magnet
and
choice.
Y
So
that's
scheduled
after
that
and
then
you
start
your
SEC
meeting
and
one
of
the
things
we
want
to
discuss
at
that
meeting
is
this
document
school
district
leadership
that
works,
which
is
what
a
focused
on
what
research
shows
that
boards
and
superintendents
do
together?
That
creates
a
significant
bumping
in
student
well-being.
So
those
are
the
complete.
That's
the
complete
package
of
the
superintendent's
report.
Tonight,
okay,.
AA
AA
A
J
AA
That,
right
now
it
started
on
segments
we've
got
four,
we've
got
it
installed
in
four
schools
and
it's
over
the
course
of
the
at
least
the
next
10
years
that
they'll
be
replaced
and
it's
based
on
the
age
of
the
existing
smart
boards,
so
the
oldest
schools,
the
schools
that
have
the
oldest
smart
boards
will
go
first.
So.
J
AA
AA
AA
Right,
you
know
that
eight
point
five
million
this
summer.
Some
of
that
is
actually
out
of
Reggie's
program
too.
So
the
eight
point,
five
is
all
the
work
we
did
this
summer.
Those
percentages
below
represent
two
years
of
capital
maintenance
and
this
summer
of
FCO.
So
it's
a
mix
of
it's
a
mix
of
three
numbers.
The
three
things
I
have
on
that
table
is.
AA
What
I'm
saying
is
the
the
bullet
I
have
at
the
top
is
the
work
that
was
done
this
summer
for
all
of
our
programs
right.
The
little
table
below
that
is,
though,
is
two
years
of
capital
maintenance,
which
includes
this
summer
and
one
year
of
FCO,
which
was
this
summer
so
far,
and
what
I
intend
to
do.
Mr.
Hollin
should
ask
for
a
list
of
the
summer
work.
The
past
board
you'll
get
that
and
a
board
update.

It's
literally
depressing
I
see
my
good
friend
Jerry
Cates
in
the
audience,
and
he
and
I
go
back
and
forth
and
emails
about
the
importance
in
what
should
be
done
as
it
pertains
to
education
in
Charleston
County
and
which
strategy
should
we
be
using
I
asked
for
a
lot
of
data,
because
I
think
we
have
to
be
like
doctors.
We
have
to
diagnose
what's
wrong
before
we
can
provide
a
solution.
I.
F
There
is
nothing
more
important
than
that
work,
nothing
and
so
I'm,
hoping
that
moving
forward,
that
on
every
strategic
education
meeting
from
this
day
forward.
We
are
talking
about
strategies
that
can
be
measurable.
That
can
be
duplicated
that
are
not
necessarily
cutting-edge
because
I
don't
think
we
ought
to
be
the
guinea
pig
or
allow
our
children
to
be
the
guinea
pig
of
any
program.
We
should
only
be
using
programs
that
can
be
supported
with
data
and
fidelity.
That's
it
in
my
email
to
dr.
post.
F
Oh
wait:
I
I
left
the
profanity
out
because
my
mom
always
told
me
that
your
vocabulary
is
bigger
than
that.
So
you
don't
have
to
use
those
choice
words,
but
sometimes,
when
you're
so
frustrated,
it's
hard
to
really
convey
how
you
really
feel
without
banging
on
the
table
or
raising
your
boys.
So
I
don't
want
to
come
across
like
the
angry
black
man,
because
oftentimes
that
person
gets
regulated
to
a
corner
and
people
say
he's
just
a
nuisance.
But,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
our
data
excuse
my
French
sucks.
E
F
F
There's
I,
don't
want
to
look
I,
don't
want
to
prolong
this,
but
I'm
really
asking
not
just
this
board
and
not
just
this
superintendent,
but
everybody
in
Charleston
County
ought
to
be
extremely
outraged,
even
if
your
child
is
not
one
of
the
children.
That's
in
the
low-performing
category
in
any
Content
area,
because
my
daughter
is
not
in
that
category,
but
I'm
upset
that
they
aren't
more
children
in
her
category
our
goal.
Our
mission
ought
to
be
not
to
minimally
educate.
F
F
But
what
about
the
children
down
the
street?
What
about
Chris
and
I
were
just
saying
inside
bar
and
I'm?
Sorry
for
I
was
interrupting
somebody
what
they
were
speaking
and
we're
talking
about
the
Garrick
technology
which,
with
which
we'll
talk
about
later.
But
if
we're
not
properly
educating
elementary
and
middle
aged
and
middle
school
children
in
North
Charleston,
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
in
North,
Charleston
won't
matter.
They
won't
be
able
to
take
those
advanced
courses.
F
E
Have
talked
and
I
think
that
what
you're
saying
is
you
agree
some
of
the
things
that
have
been
done
in
the
past
school
year,
weren't
working,
so
change
is
almost
inevitable
and
we
certainly
have
pockets
like
Mitchell
and
some
other
map
scores
I'm,
hoping
that
you'll
support
me
as
we
take
and
expand
those
things
into
schools
where
they're
not
doing
that
voluntarily.
Right
now,.
B
D
Quickly,
we'll
go
over
two
things:
one
is
fun
balanced,
restoration
and
then
the
second
is
the
budget
revision
that
will
be
coming
forward
for
a
motion
to
approve
the
on
the
fund
balance
restoration,
particularly
for
those
in
the
audience
for
you
to
know,
what's
going
on
where
we
were
two
years
ago,
what
we
did
to
make
changes
and
then
what
the
results
have
been
since
then,
I
would
like
to
certain
the
aspects
have
been
described
as
a
chaotic
situation.
Today,
two
years
ago,
dr.
postal
wade
inherited
a
very
chaotic
situation,
two
months
into
her
tenure.
D
She
tapped
me
on
the
shoulders
we
went
to
East,
Cooper
Montessori
or
a
ribbon
breaking
saying
that
she
had
bad
news
and
I
assume
somebody
was
dead,
but
26
million
dollars
were.
We
were
in
deficit
from
the
year
before,
not
only
that,
once
we
had
done
our
once,
we
had
our
forensic
audit
completed.
We
found
out
that
59
million
dollars
in
deficits
had
been
going
on
for
the
three
years
that
were
taken
over.
How
did
that
happen?
Well,
the
year
prior
to
her
arriving,
there
were
twenty
six
hundred
budget
changes
without
Borge
knowledge
or
approval.
D
There
were
situations
in
which
spending
was
out
of
control
at
the
associates
at
all
levels,
including
the
school
level.
In
one
situation,
you
had
a
teacher
point
that
was
changed
for
a
tennis
coach,
no
kidding
in
this
district.
You
had
one
school
that
overspent
in
and
their
overtime
by
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
in
one
year,
you
had
almost
an
estimated
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
that
were
paid
to
teachers
prior
to
their
turn
after
the
termination
of
their
set
of
their
contracts
or
after
to
them
they're
retiring.
D
The
result
was
a
twenty
six
million
dollar
budget
deficit
that
she
inherited
and,
oh
by
the
end
of
the
year,
we
would
be
out
of
money
and
in
the
red
if
drastic
changes
weren't
made.
So
what
happened
after
that?
It
was
a
result
of
the
forensic
audit.
We
made
changes
to
the
budgeting
process
and
to
the
staff
processes
that
went
on.
We
stopped
budgeting
for
lapse
salaries,
salaries.
We
stopped
the
practice
of
shifting
or
adding
positions
without
formal
approval
we
modified.
D
The
teachers
and
principals
in
particular,
participated
in
allocation
studies
to
where
we
went
back
and
said
all
right,
everybody's
going
to
get
the
same
thing
based
on
your
number
of
students
and
what
type
of
students
they
are
that,
particularly
with
you,
get
more
points
for
special
needs.
Students,
teachers
and
principals
came
up
with
that
allocation.
D
But
one
is
to
make
sure
that,
if
you're
showing
up
for
work,
we're
counting
you
as
president
that
day
we're
not
hiring
a
sub
for
a
day
in
which
you're
also
there.
But
as
a
result,
due
to
all
these
changes
due
to
the
superintendent's
leadership,
the
fund
balance
has
been
restored.
We've
got
a
total.
Last
year
we
were
budgeted
five
million
dollars
to
go
back
into
the
fund
balance.
D
Finally,
as
a
result
of
this,
over
the
last
few
years,
our
credit
rating
has
been
hit
twice
and
reduced.
This
should
lead
to
an
improved
credit
outlook
for
the
district
which,
ultimately,
we
we
borrow
millions
of
dollars
every
year,
this
summer
alone
we're
spending,
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
interest
for
the
money
that
we
buy.
D
But
this
will
allow
us
to
save
money
if,
as
we
get
a
better
credit
rating
back,
I
just
want
to
thank
one
teachers
and
principals
who
have
taken
it
on
the
chin
for
the
last
two
years
that
they
have
showed
up
and
done
more
with
less
over
the
last
two
years.
Because
of
the
cuts
that
had
to
be
made
in
which,
in
some
grades,
we
had
to
increase
the
number
of
children
in
the
classroom.
D
I
want
to
take
thank
the
public
for
their
patience
with
the
board
that
it's
and
allowing
us
to
over
the
last
two
years
to
build
this
back,
that
it
has
been
an
effort
from
everybody
on
the
board
and
finally,
to
thank
the
superintendent
for
her
leadership,
because
without
that
at
the
top
it
would
it
would
not
have
changed.
But
thank
you
very
much
and
and
again
thank
you
to
the
teachers
and
principals
for
what
they've
done
for
the
last
two
years
to
to
soldier
on
doing
more
with
less.
B
J
B
J
W
D
Things
one
thing
that
the
last
two
years
we've
done
budget
revisions.
Historically,
we
didn't
do
that.
The
staff
went
ahead
and
made
revisions,
and
we
never
found
out
about.
They
made
him
starting
the
week
after
we
published
a
budget
or
passed
a
budget,
whereas
now
they're
in
this
revision,
they're
coming
to
us
and
saying
the
number
of
students
who
showed
up
aren't
what
we
were
predicting.
J
D
Yes,
the
main
thing
is
our
monthly
reports
at
the
audit
Finance
Committee
meetings.
We
get
a
similar
to
what
we
were
presented
at
night
and
again
these
were
the
unaudited
findings,
but
we
get
a
what
we
budgeted
year-to-date
and
why
it's
different
so
that
anything,
that's
in
red
or
that's
in
black
and
it's
greater
than
we
had
budgeted
that
it's
there
for
us
to
go
through
and
ask
questions
about
all
right.
Why
is
this
this
different?
D
Why
is
that
different,
for
example,
with
I
mean
the
main
reason
for
why
last
year's
budget
was
so
much
to
the
outside.
Was
we
had
revenue
eleven
point,
four
million
above
what
we
had
expected.
Our
expenses
were
18.9
million
dollars
less
than
what
we
expect
expected
and
then
we'd
already
budgeted
five
main
and
fun.
D
D
D
E
E
Instead
of
just
being
the
plus
of
what
we've
spent
this
column
over
here
is
the
total
you
were
allowed
so
you're,
seeing
how
much
is
left
so
that
that
should
what
we
call
checkbook,
where
we
can
say:
okay.
Well,
we
had
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
this
whole
year
and
we've
already
spent
twenty
thousand
of
it.
We
know
they've
not
spent
six
hundred
thousand
of
it.
So
that's
that's
the
other
one.
That
I
like
is
that
we're
going
down
against
the
balance
and.
D
E
Madam
chair,
so
we
can
be
clarified
what
we're
approving
or
what
they're
the
amendment
or
the
emotion
to
approve
is-
is
that
we
have
a
2.3
million
dollar
increase
in
our
revenues
from
what
we
projected
so
we're,
adding
2.3
million
dollars
to
our
budget
and
2
million
of
that
is
going
to
instructional
and
support
services.
Ok,.
B
K
J
It
possible
at
some
point
in
future
we
can
have
some
type
of
software
that
allows
the
board
members
to
better
audit
and
monitor
what's
happening
financially.
Let
me
have
some
things
online.
The
bus'll
thing.
Ok,
before
we
get
that
we
as
Laban
can
understand
I
finances.
We
can
see
it
and
understand
it
when
their
changes
made
that
we
can
be
conceived
right
then,
as
I
said
of
waiting
for
you
baby,
so
the
waiting
for
quality
food,
we
can
actually
monitor
ourselves.
We.

Thank
you
I
like
to
thank
our
audit
and
Finance
Committee
Chair
and
vice
chair
mr.
Garrett
and
Reverend
Mac,
and
the
community
members
who
serve
on
that
audit
and
Finance
Committee.
They
are
tough.
They
are
really
great
stewards
of
the
public
money.
I'd
also
like
to
thank
mr.
Stubbs,
who
is
instrumental
in
helping
us
get
the
refund
from
the
federal
government
for
a
fine
that
has
been
paid
a
few
years
ago
and
finally,
John.
A
B
That
you
all
implemented
tremendous
changes
over
the
past
two
years,
so
thank
you
very
much.
Okay.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
policy
g
d
CF
b,
which
is
clearance
standards
for
classified
staff.
This
is
efficient
our
first
reading.
We
discussed
this
in
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
so
do
I
have
do.
We
have
a
motion
to
madam.

AA
Ma'am,
so
indeed,
back
in
March,
you
asked
us
to
go
out
into
the
community.
We've
held
three
public
meetings,
in
which
many
of
you
were
able
to
attend
and
listen
to
community
input,
much
of
which
was
reflected
here
tonight
from
the
public.
We
also
met
with
each
of
the
three
school
improvement
councils.
I'd
have
run
through
the
options
with
them
as
well
few
of
the
issues
that
I
wanted
to
present
back
to
you
information.
AA
That's
in
the
program
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
every
kid
that
is
at
Garrett
Academy
is
a
completer,
will
figure
out
a
way
to
make
that
happen,
want
to
shut
Garret
down
and
want
to
be
able
to
move
the
program
to
a
new
site.
If
you
approve
it,
the
impact
at
either
the
two
campuses,
whether
it's
at
Garret
or
whether
it's
at
North
Charleston
high
school,
both
campuses
are
the
same
size
they're,
both
a
little
more
than
seventeen
point
five
acres.
So
there
have
been
comments
that
hey
it
fits
easier
at
Garrett.
AA
The
ease
that
it
provides
at
Garrett
is
that
it's
on
the
same
side
of
the
street
at
North,
Charleston,
High
School,
it
would
be
across
Montague
or
Attaway.
Heinsohn
is,
but
if
it's
put
at
either
location,
we
lose
an
athletic
field.
That's
taken
into
account
with
the
project.
That's
coming
on
the
heels
of
this
and
that's
to
build
a
regional
stadium
for
North
Charleston.
We
hope
to
come
back
to
you
next
month
with
a
recommendation
on
where
to
build
that
stadium.
AA
AA
The
consolidation
related
to
the
numbers
and
I
and
I
just
want
to
be
honest
with
the
numbers
and
that's
one
of
the
things
that
has
been
presented
in
the
past
right
now.
We
have
more
than
a
thousand
empty
class
seats
between
North
Charleston,
High,
School,
Garrett,
Academy
and
military
magnet
with
the
construction
of
the
Center
for
Advanced.
Studies
studies
were
adding
600.
Even
if
we
project
our
enrollment
numbers
out
to
2022,
we
still
have
an
excess
of
1300
empty
seats.
Now,
what
does
that
mean?
AA
If
you're
a
budget
person,
it
means
we're
paying
for
an
extra
school
and
that's
certainly
a
factor,
but
I
would
also
add
that,
as
evidenced
by
what's
happening
in
stall
high
school,
the
larger
school
is
able
to
offer
additional
and
more
variety
of
programs.
In
fact,
compared
to
North,
Charleston
and
Garrett
stall
is
able
to
offer
more
than
20%
more
classes
to
the
student
offer
them
more
variety
of
classes,
further
classes
within
a
designated
program.
Again,
the
larger
school
yields
an
opportunity
for
for
our
students.
AA
The
last
point
I
want
to
make
is
if
the
recommendation
did
go,
for
there
is
concern
about
the
disposition
of
the
big
area.
Campus
staff
has
no
intention
of
recommending
getting
rid
of
the
garrotte
campus
for
a
number
of
reasons.
Number
number
one:
is
there
still
a
number
of
programs
in
this
district
that
can
be
better
housed
right
now
we
have
adult
education
out
in
leased
space
Tom,
so
we're
paying
the
pain
to
be
there.
AA
We
have
Clark
Academy
that
is
within
North
Charleston
High
School
that
wouldn't
need
a
home
in
this
option,
but
because
of
the
size
of
Garrett,
there
are
other
opportunities
to
consolidate
functions
at
Garrett
Academy
and
still
holds
that
property.
If
ten
years
from
now
there
is
growth
and
we
need
another
full
up
high
school
on
a
campus.
We
don't
give
up
that
opportunity
so
subject
to
your
questions
that
that's
that's
the
long
and
the
short
of
the
information
that
I
wanted
to
provide.
The
recommendation
for
that
from
the
staff
still
remains.
AA
B
J
AA
No
reason
why
they
wouldn't
partner
I'm,
just
looking
at
it
from
a
proximity
perspective,
then
you
have
an
opportunity
for
kids
to
have
internships
right
across
the
street
from
that
school,
for
those
that
are
part
of
that
community,
that
business
community
can
walk
over
and
be
in
directors
and
provide
that
kind
of
a
capability
if
needed.
So
it's
it's
the
proximity,
not
that
it
could
be
Donna,
Garrett,
I,
agree
with
that
comment.
You.
J
AA
AB
J
North
Rose
is
in
the
percent
of
business
area
when
the
gap
problems
in
a
residential
area
and
has
been
here
for
many
years,
FAC
FAC
I'm
a
product
of
the
trades
that
Garrett
high
school
and
so,
and
so
it
means
a
lot
to
me.
Also
that
we
do
something
that's
going
to
enhance
Garrett,
you
know
W,
do
we
rebuild
that
building?
We
cannot
you
get.
You
can
write.
You
can
retrofit.
J
That
built
in
status
is
right
at
the
Garrick
campus,
even
if
he
even
served
stall
also
same
with
the
same
property
and
so
I
don't
know
if
they're
the
exact
look,
it's
it's,
he
is,
as
was
critical,
but
I
do
not
want
it
on
the
Austin
High
School
football
field
at
all.
I
can't
see
suffering
children
to
lose
a
Sports
Complex
for
us
to
build
a
building,
and
we
already
have
over
a
thousand
seats
empty
in
our
buildings
already.
So
so
it
kinda
doesn't
make
any
financial
sense.
You
you
had.
J
You
have
space
and
Savin
notes
was
in
high
school
already.
Well,
you
can
house
more
students,
yeah
space
inside
of
Gabby
housing,
most
students,
even
military,
might
even
but
God
has
a
lot
open
seats
and
notes
and
Hodgkins
a
lot
of
ins
he's
already
inside.
So
how
do
we
justify
building
a
new
building
when
we
have
empty
buildings
already?
How
do
we
feasibly
say
well
we're
doing
wise
to
spend
taxpayer
dollars
and
buildings
will
have
I?
Have
it
we're
going
to
have
the
the
same
student,
the
same
population?
J
We
don't
have
any
future
commitments
at
all.
The
students
are
going
to
come
and
attend
our
program,
so
so
I'm
concerned
I.
Think
if
we
I
think
if
we
were
to
address
GATT
first,
the
get
is
secured
reveal
that
building
put
the
trays
there.
More
EP
courses,
college,
prep
courses,
dual
credits,
three
bill
guy
at
first
I-
think
it'd
be
a
lot
easier,
then
to
address
the
CAS
center
Advanced
Studies.
M

AA
Remains
in
the
capital
maintenance
program,
so
I
don't
have
the
list
of
projects
but
in
the
out-years
toward
the
end
of
the
sales
tax
program,
I'm,
very
confident
that
there
are
some
projects
toward
the
tail
into
that
program
to
do
recapitalisation
like
you're
doing
at
other
schools,
so
whether
it
be
HVAC
or
a
roof.
It's
not
to
modernize
the
education
program.
It's
it's
to
maintain
that
structure.
I'm
I!
Don't
have
the
list
here
in
front
of
me,
but
I'm
sure
we
we
didn't
delete
it
from
the
list.
It
continues
to
be
in
there.
So.
AA
Up
to
the
academic
side,
they're
currently
analyzing,
the
programs
of
study
that
would
go
into
the
new
facility
working
with
business
working
with
the
chamber
working
with
the
elementary
I
mean
the
middle
and
high
school
principals
to
determine
that.
In
fact,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
and
for
information
was
some
proposed
areas
of
study
to
be
considered
for
that
new
Center
for
Advanced
Study.
So.
M
AA
M
AA
AA
M
E
M
It
I
guess
I
was
I,
was
leaning
toward
the
point
of
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
retain
the
name
Garrett.
If
this
is
a
proof
moving
forward
that
later
on
down
the
road
when
we
get
near,
if
this
part
is
approve
of
it
getting
there
at
the
end,
that's
you
know.
Some
other
name
comes
up
in
the
name.
Garrett
is
left
out
of
the
picture
where
the
history
does
not
continue
in
a
name.
So
so
that's
that's
the
other.
B
F
AA
Y
AA
AA
AA
F
F

If
the
motion
that
Cindy
made
passes,
Garrett
Academy
of
Technology,
which
is
a
high
school
with
the
beds
code,
would
no
longer
have
a
beds
code
if
it
were
to
move
across
the
street
from
North
Austin
High
School,
because
then
it
would
become
a
program
of
North
Charleston,
correct
right.
So
currently
we
have
15
schools
and
one
program
in
our
district.
The
one
program
is
Clark
Academy.
B
B
B
F
One
school
has
already
been
taken
off
the
books,
which
is
Lincoln,
which
was
an
at-risk
school.
It
was
we
have
some
issue
with
that,
so
we
no
longer
have
one
of
those
schools
on
our
list
as
an
at-risk
or
below
average
school
I
have
the
average
AC
T
scores
for
2017
graduating
class
from
Charles
County
School
District
in
front
of
me.

Numbers
Jeff
gave
us
when,
when
Eric
asked
about
living
attendants,
he
gave
based
on
projections
from
last
year,
so
we
could
only
go
off
the
projectors
from
last
year,
I'm
sure
Jeff
has
it
I,
don't
have
that
information
I,
think
it's
in
our
I
think
it's
in
our
packet,
and
so
so
my
question
really
becomes,
or
my
stigma
becomes.
Even
if
this
motion
passes.
E
F
M
E
F
I'm
gonna.
Take
that
off
the
table
for
a
second,
the
issue.
Well,
I
think
the
main
reason
why
we
want
to
have
a
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
is
because
we
believe
that
those
programs
will
better
serve
our
students
moving
forward
in
their
careers.
Correct.
Yes,
mr.
Miller.
Well,
when
we,
when
we
look
at
our
a
CT
data
from
Garrett,
North,
Charleston
and
Stahl,
then
we
look
at
the
composite
scores
based
on
the
four
content
areas,
neither
one
of
those
three
schools.
F
But
we're
not
talking
about
West
Ashley,
we're
talking
about
Garrett
we're
talking
we're
talking
about
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
in
North
Charleston
serving
the
North
Charleston
students,
so
I
am
ultimately
I
am
in
favor
of
us
having
a
Center
for
Advanced
Studies,
but
I
believe
it
is
an
it
is.
It
doesn't
make
sense
for
us
to
in
essence,
focus
on
programming
when
we
have
current
students
now
who
are
in
those
three
buildings
who
are
not
prepared
to
take
the
courses
you're
gonna
bring
to
us
in
the
next
motion.
F
So
before
we
talk
about
building
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies,
it
seems
to
me
that
we
need
to
be
really
focusing
on
vertical
articulation
and
what's
going
on
in
our
elementary
schools
in
North
Charleston
and
what's
going
on
in
our
middle
schools
in
North
Charleston,
which
feed
into
the
center,
hopefully
to
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies,
those
of
us
who
have
been
on
the
board
and
been
in
charge
long
enough.
We
know
that
several
years
ago
Garrett
had
multiple
programs,
I,
believe
ten
or
more
they
were
ranked
in
the
state.
F
F
There
seems
to
be
concerned
about
having
Garrett
staying
on
campus
for
multiple
reasons.
I
believe
some
have
a
historical
context
with
you
know,
african-american
schools
being
closed
and
they
and
renamed
and
then
dissolved
from
the
district
as
if
we're
still
part
of
the
the
construct
from
integration
from
segregation
and
integration.
I'm
not
saying
yes
or
no,
but
it's
a
reality
to
son
I,
do
know
this
we're
not
properly
serving
the
students
at
Gary
currently
based
on
our
scores,
we're
not
properly
serving
the
students
at
North
Charleston
and
we're
not
properly
serving
the
students
at
stall.
F
AA
A
B
F
I
do,
but
I
but
I
think
we
have
to
put
this.
In
my
opinion.
We
have
to
put
this
in
a
full
context
right.
We
want
to
build
a
program,
that's
going
to
benefit
the
student
in
a
location
that
may
benefit
the
students,
because
I
think
the
location
may
be
vital,
but
not
really
the
matter
where
it
is
say.
If
you
build
it,
they
will
come
and
we
can,
in
the
partnership
that
we
build.
AA
I,
just
from
a
timeline
perspective,
I
need
three
years
to
get
it
done,
and
my
only
point
would
be.
A
lot
can
be
done
in
three
years
before
I'm
to
a
point
where
I
can
open
it
open
a
door.
So
we
got
three
years
to
your
point
and
that
is
I
think
an
extremely
important
point,
and
that
is
a
key
to
the
success
of
this
program
and
I
want
to
give
rich
you're
going
to
step
up
here.
AA
AB
Post
awake
good
evening,
board
members
you're
right.
Mr.
Miller,
the
current,
the
CAS
students
are
currently
in
middle
school
right
now.
Okay,
those
are
the
kids
that
eventually
will
populate
the
CAS.
You
discussed
about
the
garret
kids
and
the
North
Charleston
kids,
combining
for
was
it
nine
hundred
students.
You
also
have
to
remember
that
the
district
for
CAS
is
available
to
the
Stahl
high
school
students
as
well,
so
we're
going
to
be
pulling
from
those
over
1,400
kids
as
well.
AB
There's
really
a
couple
of
thousand
students
that
are
going
to
be
populating
the
center
of
Advanced
Studies
in
one
shape
manner
or
depending
on
how
the
scheduling
sometimes
they're
there
in
the
morning,
sometimes
in
there
in
a
afternoon.
So
that's
the
logistics.
That's
the
details
that
we
have
to
work
out
in
regards
to
funding.
Cte
programs
are
supported
by
federal
funding.
We
have
grants
such
as
Perkins.
We
have
state
ie
funds,
we
have
work-based
learning
funds.
Those
types
of
funding
sources
can
support
programs
at
the
center
of
events.
Studies
as
well
so.
F
That,
if
they
get
if
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies,
was
able
to
stay
at
his
current
location
as
a
program
right,
but
us
attached
to
stall
beds,
code
versus
North
Charleston,
that's
code,
which
would
increase
stalls
enrollment,
let's
say
by
200,
so
to
make
it
up
to
1652
that
way.
The
offerings
would
still
be
available
to
stall
students,
North
transitions
and
I
would
assume
military
magnet.
Yes,
sir
students
as
well
wouldn't
that
technically
be
a
better
option
as
it
as
a
pertains
to
funding
of
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies.
E
J
E
F
AB
Miller
also
we're
expanding
our
stem
programs
in
the
middle
schools,
district-wide
specifically
targeting
North
Charleston
as
well,
because
we
know
that
three,
it's
only
a
thousand
days
away
and
that's
coming
quick.
So
we
know
we're
focusing
on
that
vertical
articulation.
We
have
been
and
we
will
continue
and
I
understand.
E
B
AB
K
B
AA
Right
now,
one
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
at
Wando
is
part
of
Londo.
Okay,
the
expectation
when
Beckham
opens
is
that
it
will
be
a
program.
It
will
be
a
standalone
facility
with
administrator
that
doesn't
work
for
either.
You
know
are
the
two
principals
right,
so
they
can
schedule
both
schools
together.
K
K
F
They
what
the
motion
is
to
put
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
at
North
Charleston
right.
The
assumption
is
that
the
students
who
attend
North,
who
are
zoned
for
North
Charleston,
will
attend
North
Charleston
and
be
able
to
take
write
those
numbers.
Those
students
who
attend
Garrett,
they're
assuming
world
mountain,
will
now
attend
North
Charleston
to
be
part
of
their
attendance.
Yes,
their
student
enrollment
that
student
enrollment
drives
programs.
Yes,.
K
F
B
F
On
student,
enrollment
drives
teacher
allocation
and
teacher
points
right
right.
Yes,
all
I'm
saying
is,
if
you
were
to
leave
Garret
where
it
is
until
the
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
on
that
Center
and
have
that
program
associated
to
what
stalls
bed
code
instead
of
North
Charleston
that
code,
we
get
more
students,
more
enrollment
and
therefore
more
more
offerings.
Jeff
already
said
that
stall
currently
has
20%
more
offerings
than
the
North
Charleston
and
Garrett,
simply
because
of
enrollment.
E
F
F
J
J
B
G
Decayed
into
Chris,
especially
a
few
months
ago,
Chris
Dobbs,
yeah
I,
want
you
to
hear
this.
Okay,
sorry,
a
few
months
ago
when,
when,
when
you
collaborated
with
us
to
help
you
out
with
your
stadium
deal
in
Mount
Pleasant,
we
abide
and
listen
to
you.
We
worked
with
y'all
to
try
to
resolve
that
issue.
G
B
S
J
J
J
Be
useful
because
in
Garrett's
door
we're
saying
well
well
now
you're
option
it
is
no
Johnson
house
was
the
only
option,
but
you
can
enroll
in
this
is
when
it's
built.
So
we
said
we
take
away
the
option
what
their
head
is.
If
they
want
to
get
nothing
in
the
high
school
they
be
there
to
begin
with,
don't
be
a
stall
the
bid
again
with,
even
though
there
may
be
engine
stalls
medical.
So
then
what
are
we
offering?
The
children,
then
that
attend
nauseous
in
high
school
mm-hmm?
J
What
are
we
doing
to
improve
those
at
the
high
school
with
what
new
courses
where
AP
courses,
what
color
freckles,
what's
going
to
be
different
than
a
North
Charleston
a
more
attractive
option
for
students
that
don't
want
to
go
to
yeah,
see
that
cannot
go
to
Garret
that
that
came
from
store
that
cannot
go
to
Garrett
again.
So
what
are
we
offering
better
at
anytime
we're
talking
about
changing
the
school
up,
changing
community?
J
We
are
offering
something
better
for
kids
and
what
we're
doing
tonight
is
that
we're
we're
penalizing
make
any
punitive
for
children
that
want
to
go
together
in
order
to
build
us.
He
is,
and
that's
not
right.
We
don't
put
that.
We
look
at
the
burden
on
the
students
a
little
bit
the
burden
on
the
community
and
we're
gonna
go
see.
Is
we
simply
build
a
CAS?
It
has
nothing
to
do
with
closing
Eric.
Yes,
yeah
has
no
bearing
on
that
whatsoever.
The
Center
for
a
studies
has
nothing
to
do
with
closing
a
school
at
all.
J
Wouldn't
go
to
Mount
Pleasant
and
take
one
of
those
football
field
where
the
clay
and
Bill
and
Bill
a
college
college
that
are
the
college
zero
in
the
football
field
or
on
the
soccer
court
I'll
take
the
gymnasium
and
turn
it
a
library.
We
wouldn't
do
that
use
of
the
cookbook,
so
I
was
working
with
wiring
in
the
North
Charleston,
the
kids
doesn't
matter
people
don't
matter
like
the
Fisher's
doesn't
matter
we
do
we
want
to
do
they
don't
matter
into
court,
this
side
of
the
bridge?
J
Why
it's
not
the
case
by
the
way
I
see
it.
We
have
three
officials,
the
represent
north
Ross
and
three
of
us
right
here,
and
the
majority
of
us
don't
want
this
on
authorizing
football,
for
you
shouldn't
reporters
shouldn't
the
board,
respect
that.
Isn't
that
correct
me
to
colleagues
in
their
innate
dignity,
respect
that
these
aren't
they're
requesting
their
colleagues
when
you
guys
work
for
my
question,
I
support
you
guys.
All
the
time
in
my
pleasure,
it'll
ask
me
tonight:
did
not
put
this
Center
for
that
studies
or
nice
kids
football
field.
J
S
Educational
stuff,
the
more
kids
you
have
in
one
school,
the
more
options
you
can
offer.
Kids,
you
can't
offer
three
kids
of
class
we
would
love
to,
but
we
can't
afford
to
do
that.
We
can't
have
teachers
for
three
kids.
So
that's
just
answering
that
question
about
what
North
Charleston
needs.
I,
don't
I
don't
presuppose.
A
S
E
Is
a
countywide
magnet
school
and
we
pay
for
that
transportation.
So
if
we
have
career
centers
in
all
the
other
areas
of
the
county
and
kids,
don't
want
to
leave
those
areas
of
the
county
to
attend
a
career
high
school
because
they
can
get
it
as
part
of
a
CAS
in
Mount,
Pleasant
or
West
Ashley
downtown
with
the
LTA
or
out
on
the
islands
with
the
version.
What
do
we
do?
How
do
we
force
kids
to
come
to
Garrett
so
it
becomes
a
school?
It's
not
an
attendance
on
school.
Nobody
is
zoned
for
that
school.
E
F
E
B
J
B
B
B
B
A
B
J
L
B
K
So
my
question
is:
I
would
like
to
know
the
difference
in
the,
and
this
is
probably
what
we're
going
to
do.
We
probably
should
have
reversed
these
things.
I
can
hear
what
the
programs
are
I
want
to
know.
What
can
I
be
duplication.
I
mean
we
just
gonna
this
my
concern
here
there
were
just
been
a
duplicate
things.
I
need
to
know
the
difference
between
the
programs
that
Garrett
versus
the
programs
that
will
be
offered
at
a
Center.
A
B
S
B
M
AA
Had
we
had
a
legal
with
you
of
that,
the
answer's,
no
okay,
it's
designated
as
a
Center
for
Advanced
Studies.
If
you
want
to
change
the
name
of
Garrett
to
Center
for
Advanced
30s
for
North
Charleston
bingo,
but
we've
looked
into
split
it
spreading
that
money
for
a
designated
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
around
North
Charleston.
Could
you
put
money,
somebody
in
North
Charleston
high
summit,
Garrett
summit
stall
with
this,
and
they
believe
that
there's
there's
legal
risk
with
that,
because
the
in
illegal
wrist
is
around
other
complaints
of
inequities.
AA
E
J
E
I
want
to
be.
Are
we
sure
that
we
know
we've
decided
the
programming
I
thought
the
board?
Is
he
just
let
him
make
his
presentation?
Do
let
me
get
to
the
period
before,
but
what
you
tell
us
and
we've
all
seen
it
every
one
of
you
got
it
in
your
Friday
update,
but
doesn't
the
board
have
some
say-so
in
this.
J
AA
B
F
W
AB
Current
programs
currently
Garrett,
has
some
programs
that,
as
part
of
this
recommendation,
would
continue
at
the
center
of
events.
Studies,
in
fact,
as
per
their
data
from
last
year,
their
top
two
programs,
one
happened
to
be
health
science
technology.
That's
one
of
the
leading
career
clusters
in
the
charleston
metro
areas
determined
by
the
chamber
of
commerce,
we're
certainly
interested,
and
not
just
we
interested.
We
all
have
already
begun
partnering
with
MUSC.
You
know
to
create
a
collaboration
to
have
some
of
their
subject
matter.
AB
Experts
come
to
the
center
event,
studies
in
north
charleston
to
work
with
our
instructors
and
also
to
provide
work
based
learning
opportunities
for
those
kids
where
they
can
have
internships
and
apprenticeships
and
and
in
opportunities
that
are
available
to
them
right
after
they
graduate
from
the
center
of
event.
Studies
along
with
the
certifications
and
the
industry
credentials
that
they'll
receive
so
health
science
technology.
That's
Garrett's
number
one
from
last
year
and
completer
numbers
definitely
going
to
include
that,
but
that's
district-wide
also,
they
have
arts
audio-visual.
That's
one
of
my
recommendations
and
communications.
AB
That's
their
second-largest
completer
data.
As
per
last
year,
they
had
an
instructional
program
called
digital
art
and
design.
They
a
significant
number
of
students,
we're
also
interested
in
bring
that
over
has
more
of
a
creative
and
a
more
of
not
as
much
science
technology,
mathematics
but
more
applying
in
other
areas
of
students
that
maybe
have
a
more
creative
side
of
the
brain.
It
was
mentioned
to
me
by
district
four
principals
when
I
sat
down
with
them.
Mr.
Gordon,
we
want
this
opportunity,
not
just
for
the
eggheads
in
district
4.
AB
We
want
all
the
students
to
find
something
there
that
they
can
relate
to
or
something
they
can
work
with.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
offer
a
program
like
that.
That's
where
that
arts
and
audio-visual
will
come
in
as
well
just
to
answer
those
two
questions.
Those
are
the
two
leading
ones
from
Garrett
that
we
are
interested
in
recommendation
to
lift
and
shift
in
your
packets.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
you'll
see
my
summary
page,
it's
it's
about
eight
or
ten
pages
long.
AB
Basically,
it
just
outlines
the
processes
that
we've
been
going
over
the
last
several
months,
an
exhaustive
process
as
anything
else
that
we
do
in
Charleston,
County,
School
District.
It
begins
with
looking
at
our
mission
and
our
goals
and
our
values.
Mr.
Miller
presented
that
earlier
we're
looking
at
college,
career
and
citizenship
readiness
each
one
of
these
programs
that
we're
recommending
to
you
provides
that
student
with
that
preparation
with
those
knowledge
and
skills
and
abilities
to
be
college,
career
and
citizenship
ready
for
whatever
they
want
to
do.
Post-Secondary
workforce
tried
in
a
four-year
school.
AB
The
military
you'll
see
that
in
all
of
this,
the
State
Department
of
Education,
they
have
blueprints
of
opportunities.
What
what's
possible
in
South
Carolina?
There
are
16
career
clusters
that
are
identified
by
the
state
Department
of
Education
and
underneath
those
16
clusters
there
are
80
what
we
call
majors
or
instructional
programs.
So
we
have
a
selection
sort
of
a
menu
to
choose
from.
AB
So
when
we're
looking
at
all
our
data
points
we're
making
a
decision,
okay,
which
one
of
these
career
clusters
are
going
to
set
up
our
kids
to
make
an
outside
difference
in
their
lives
and
to
transform
communities
every
time
we
answer
that
question.
We
come
up
with
the
leading
career
indicators
and
I'm
kind
of
outlined
as
we
go
through
the
packet
we've
talked
to
industry
experts,
we're
part
of
a
Volvo
workforce
committee.
If
you
saw
the
news
this
morning,
Volvo
is
about
to
add
another
2,000
jobs,
a
half,
a
billion
dollar
investment.
AB
That's
manufacturing,
that's
architecture,
that's
electronics,
technology!
That's
mechanical
technology!
That's
mechatronics!
That's
computer!
Numerical
control!
That's
all!
In
the
new
center
of
Advanced
Studies,
our
kids
will
have
a
direct
stream
line
into
Volvo
and
Mercedes
and
Bosch.
That's
what
BMW?
That's
what
we're?
Looking
at
with
the
center
of
Advanced
Studies
we've
also
looked
at
the
talent
demand
study
by
the
Charleston
Chamber
of
Commerce
I,
provided
that
in
the
packet
you
can
see.
There's
a
nice
picture
on
the
second
page.
They
looked
into
their
crystal
ball
to
see
in
the
next
five
years.
AB
Where
do
we
see
the
expansion
in
the
industry
in
the
local
commerce
and
where
are
the
gaps?
They
did
a
workforce
gap,
analysis,
software
and
IT
information,
technology,
production,
manufacturing,
science,
technology
engineering
and
math
those
STEM
careers?
That's
where
it's
at
our
new
center
of
Advanced
Studies,
we'll
have
those
instructional
programs
and
they'll.
Have
those
career
clusters
want
to
make
sure
I
hit
everything?
AB
We
have
to
take
a
look
at
what's
available
for
them
or,
what's
ready,
so
we
certainly
included
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
work
based
learning
opportunities.
Each
one
of
these
career
clusters
can
be
aligned
with
a
local
business
partner.
We
can
collaborate
with
the
chamber
with
our
advisory
councils.
We
can
align
these
children
to
have
coursework
in
school
and
then
in
the
afternoon,
or
vice
versa.
AB
They
can
actually
be
at
the
worksite
learning
work-based
learning
credit,
dual
credit
in
some
situations
of
preparing
them,
so
when
they
do
step
into
that
job
interview
or
even
if
they
go
on
to
college
they're
prepared
and
in
case
with
science,
technology,
engineering
and
math,
the
engineering
programs,
they
can
seamlessly
go
to
try
that
and
even
in
a
2+2
program
they
can
be
accepted
into
USC
or
at
the
Citadel
from
the
jump,
and
this
is
the
kind
of
opportunities
that
we
want
to
offer.
It's
all
21st
century
college
and
career
readiness
for
the
global
economy.
AB
That's
really
it
in
a
nutshell.
In
five
minutes
and
the
rest
is
in
here,
I
mean
I
can
read
through
all
of
this.
It's
high
wage,
it's
high
skill.
It's
high
demand,
its
industry
focused,
but
it's
post-secondary
aligned
well
K
through
12.
It
supports
the
mission
and
the
goals
with
our
strategic
planning
process.
I
mean
we're
looking
at
making
a
difference
in
these
kids
lives
and
transforming
communities.
That's
what
this
is
about.
J
AB
AB
A
K
AB
There
are
other
careers,
yes,
sir.
There
are
other
instructional
programs
and
career
clusters
at
Garrett
at
this
time.
These
are
our
recommendations
to
continue
into
the
center
of
Vance
studies.
Some
of
those
other
programs
that
are
at
Garrett
are
also
at
other
high
schools
in
District
four,
so
some
of
those
students,
if
they
do
when
they
do
return
to
their
home
school,
if
they're
well,
first,
if
they're
at
Garrett
they're
going
to
complete
their
program,
but
if
they
return
to
their
home
schools.
AB
K
AB
I
can
tell
you
that
the
State
Department
the
office
of
Career
and
Technology
education
in
the
State
Department
they're
focused
on
high
wage
high
skill,
high
demand
21st
century
they're
already
looking
into
the
future,
and
this
is
a
this-
is
a
blueprint
for
us
to
get
there
and
that's
what
I'm
presenting
to
you
this
evening.

give
everybody
time
talk.
My
concern
about
including
elected
officials
on
this
is
that
we
are
the
elected
officials
and
we
should
be
making
this
decision
if
we
decide
to
delay
it
another
month
to
get
some
more
input.
That's
fine!
But
if
we
set
a
committee
with
elected
officials,
then
then
we
better
be
prepared
to
do
that
in
every
single
area,
and
we
can
certainly
get
in
from
elected
officials
without
having
them
on
a
committee
which
is.

Okay,
I'm
gonna
speak
for
Kevin,
but
I
think
the
reason
why
Kevin
may
want
to
do
a
committee
because
he
wants
to
bring
back
a
recommendation
from
those
folks
not
to
sidestep
his
his
Cindy
in
Chris's
responsibility
as
board
members
but
to
but
but
to
give
some
consideration
to
right.
So
they
could
say
look.
This
is
a
recommendation
that
we
have
again
Kay
you're
right.
The
nine
of
us
will
make
the
decision
I'm
not
I'm,
not
even
saying
that
we
got
to
do
it.
F
If
we
do
it
this
time
we
got
to
do
it
the
next
time,
because
this
boys
done
things
in
isolation
before
and
hadn't
done
and
again
so
I'm
not
gonna,
say
just
because
Kate
Sydney
and
Chris
may
entertain
some
conversations
with
elected
aboard
with
elected
officials
in
your
Charleston.
That
will
have
to
do
this
every
single
time.

Them
kid
I'm,
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
send
you
in
jurita
I'm
gonna
send
to
yareta
you
and
Jeff
questions
about
the
same
question.
I
had
earlier
whether
or
not
one
will
this
Center
for
Advanced
Studies
be
a
school.
Will
it
be
a
program
and
if
it
is
a
program,
where
will
those
students
come
from
and
how
will
we
staff
those
programs.
Y
B
I
think
I
have
them
all
right,
any
other
discussion
or
a
prepared
to
vote
Kevin's
motion
that
Mike
and
the
Reverend
Colin
seconded.
Knowing
that
we're
gonna
convene
a
steering
committee.
Community
elected
officials
in
North
Charleston
bring
back
a
recommendation
regarding
in
North
Charleston
period
by
October
19,
three
reps
from
the
from
the
North
three
board
members
from
North
Charleston
will
serve
on
the
committee
and
y'all
will.
Even
if
you
could
send
us
in
the
next
Friday
update,
you
do
you
recommend
and
we
can
okay.

The
quarry
we
got,
let's
get
that
straight
using
the
ghouls
I
got
the
reason
about
the
reason
I
had
requested
in
yes,
I
want
a
real
nderstand.
What
does
this
is
nificant
subjects
that
they
only
go
around
the
country?
Then
boards
are
using
them.
So
what
is
that
we're
missing,
but
I
put
up
the
portlet
when
we
go.
That's
fine
too.
So
that's
where
Chris
came
and
I
really
wanted.
The
same
would
have.
What
are
you
talking
about
the
women
in
business
in.

Only
the
intent
behind
the
whole
committee
of
the
whole
meetings
going
around
the
district
was
to
be
able
to
allow
the
communities
to
come
to
the
meetings
so
that
you
know,
because
we
start
that
early
in
the
morning
and
then
by
the
time,
because
we
do
our
meetings
one
after
the
next.
If
we
get
done
early,
it
continues
on
so
so
that
will
defeat
the
purpose
of
what
the
intent
was
behind
the
whole
thing.
So
that's
why
I
start
to
question.
Why
we're
starting
at
10:00
we're.
