Description

March 11, 2019 COW Audit and Finance Committee Meeting

A

But the next item up is audience committee meeting review. The one thing on there was motion coming forward regarding the payment. A salary adjustment, Arthur, Gallagher and company was, is bought the Fox Lawson company that we had used before so we're still using the same individual same company, but they Gallagher bought Fox, Lawson I may be saying it, but the main reason for these the raises they were in particular regarding physical therapists and occupational therapists. Historically, we've been spending way above budget because we haven't what we've been paying, how attractive people.

A

So we had to pay subs in the summer and a more than 100 percent. We had to pay them a premium to get them in there on an hourly rate. So.

B

This was because.

A

We were not paying another, can you rather pants really, and so that's what this is coming forward.

C

Why don't you say to the money and.

A

This the need an action on right now on that, okay.

C

So this is any other questions on that, so this is make it look like.

D

C

Not formation moving, so this is, you know you recommended salary. Okay proposals is recommend what you want to go to do under to the C point, but you're still gonna be behind the only maxim dr., sacani, okay, so.

E

The reason that the reason you're still behind is the classification is correct on the structure but we're still seven percent below market across the total.

C

B

Is that? Because.

E

They would have to be a board decision to move the entire salary structure to the market, so.

C

E

A blessing to me, that's the thing.

C

Instead, instead of sitting, that's what we could be looking at something to bring in correct instead of just get just a bit of increase in it, these two have the same problem again next year. These are those and the people by being the lowest paid. Well,.

E

We've talked to the OT PT group. There they're aware what we recommend it. We do not want to reclassify position simply to address the market issue, so it is properly classified you.

C

Know you have to reclassify it over.

E

It and in it you reclassify it where.

C

F

E

Then they'll be overpay, so.

B

In other words, there's.

G

A reason why you brought it to us in the that you do they're not.

G

H

C

What has to be done to get it current with a really big enough equivalent to what dr. sacani is? Almost they already endorsed our or in the middle, but.

E

Everyone isn't competitive with the districts that are in the tri-county area. We do know that Georgetown, because they have difficulty recruiting talent, they paid a higher salary simply to recruit, and they.

B

E

To retain the HR director said he probably eats the MTP tea for two.

B

C

E

Them to Horry, County or or to the medical so.

B

This saw this last week so.

E

He is slightly higher, he is higher than any.

C

Other submissions less of this watch, so why do these equipment dr. sacani, and you almost even whether you these next days.

E

As far as matching it, it would cause me to cause us to have to leave the structure there at good and another classification. Would you jeopardize the the integrity of the entire structure? It's.

C

A design directly, okay, you know where to get the money from right. We.

G

Got some others just.

C

Did a show on the name Bob under him, darlin so much smoother to these necks when they're, okay, but I'm, saying what you're saying you do talk about classification and not.

I

C

I

I think that we should never say that we're not tied by dollars, given.

C

The dollars I, don't know if you in the books you're not.

A

All right one other questions on this, and this will come up for.

A

Next item up for the auto finance charter, modifications will come forward an executive session at our next meeting. Next item up is purchase cards for board members. Is there a motion to approve that the wants to approve there's motion to approve their sake.

C

Unless, of course, we thought we approved the same language, those have been different, then we.

A

See if we can get a second.

C

Dog's coat the.

A

Second, all right go ahead: River call.

C

Because I see some other language, some other things to do.

I

C

Original language, the gravity PID.

I

C

Adherence I think I think about its own right. We look at a amended viz.

C

The other thing that we're going to beat them in and BRD and DK see also that I didn't sees I didn't see. The original motion of this is a man you, but I'm not see the original motion now that we're working on. Actually, this is just talked about a minute policies here, something that's kind of confusing to me. So.

I

What you want is a copy of the agenda.

C

From the last point, you should be lonely when there is only when we flew back to meeting right and not an everything to these two but beneath the boat. But it is the reason arriving to the entry.

I

Chris she has it for you, okay,.

C

So man, so this that'll be kind of me says of what most is, what own agendas I'm gonna give.

I

Anita no I don't know that it's not the right language, I I would ask you to compare it.

C

No, no, it's not the same thing we both will actually like meaning like.

D

C

Submitted only minute, it's a nothing does not give us a minute.

D

A

You looking for well.

C

I'll have to come up with a blueprint of how they that way what will submit it will be voting on the left side to somebody this leaf. This is this: is a power contained here to be ID and I? Think I had these ones already so.

H

C

Is what I'm saying is I know? This is not me. The second bit of the Pico is this is a Minden policy, these two poems what we're doing that problem into them, but this is not. This is not second me they could be covered.

I

The first reading was motion.

B

I

Revise policies being this is this is from the board meeting of in February motion to revise policies, VI D and D KC for first reading to permit issuance of purchase cards notice.

C

How the second part of the motion for last meeting resume.

I

Only I'm reading the only motion from the last meeting.

C

I advised me the ability to approve the calling them in the senate foreign dollars and also the main. The policies put. The rd indicate see.

C

Someone I said: where's the language of ICT.

C

I

You're saying that you would, rather, instead of it, saying, approve second reading with modification regarding use of P cards. You want it to actually say this at the board meeting.

C

Tonight, other than that is to some, sir, that wasn't listen when the agenda so I'm thinking we're not changing will be voting for me. We're.

I

Not change I think that Eric will make sure the language is I.

C

Presented item approval you voted over last weekend. Mister I would say also that this was the part of the most of it. Also many to policies. The original language have been voted for and proved last meeting, which had five four three hits. It's not here.

B

C

It's only put in here because it not yet we can say that guess we ought to be a building that we're gonna like every one of motion. Second guard would be second meaning for that original language, and they made men in this policy also.

D

We'll clean it up come.

C

A

Alright, what's your question go ahead, my.

C

Question is uh no address.

G

J

I think what is confusing is that in the in the material for today, there's a page called excerpts from to Charleston County School District, our program. That is not intended to be a policy minute. That's.

B

J

Your policies already you.

C

J

Want to make sure, before you vote, that you understand that your policy as written doesn't allow you to do what you, just by numbers in it in the list that I that I summarized out of that out of your procurement manual.

G

J

10, for example, says purchase cards may not be used for food purchase while on travel. That's that's what we live with as boys, but as or members. That would be a good example of when you would want to use. Your purchase card is when you've gone out of the district on travel.

C

J

Pointing out I.

C

J

Additional changes you want, mr.

D

Oliver just got it good. Food, no I talked to miss Darby and we bought for an agreement. Mr. chair I think we do need to convene a policy manual for how the boy uses that Bowens our own policies yeah so how they operate with. So we're just going to get through this motion and then and then we just need to set up at their convenience at a time some riders that we can share back and forth or how it can be used and its compliance with the districts and with the state.

K

C

Sure what we've proven, then, as a language of dkc, amended language right.

C

This will be the protocol details name given at our playback rubbing out over this questions then call their Bible please, but.

C

The things we're going to send a vessel be voting for 24 this one open the door, get the changing policy, so reliable minutes, half Couric's us. It was a banana you're, not willing to prove this this year, that service attendants and that's important in Senate.

D

I

D

Ahead, I don't want to grab that our dad. We do a lot of other stuff.

C

A

All the boots in to you later.

I

G

Sit wherever in that I.

D

Mean re-voted, nobody, yes, alright,.

I

Okay, the internet after I have been free, longing, Christ, Jesus.

C

A

Alright, the next item up is public comment, so there are any members of public here for public comment.

C

A

Please, if you'll step up to the podium, please.

F

As you have been following, the bush activity program for years and I'm here to speak on behalf of some changes, perhaps before they become a budget process, you've changed her seat from traditional school to Montessori. To accommodate parents live across the street under new development. You've changed murder the same from a traditional school to a Montessori School once the predominantly black school. That's forward bears invited 2011 that it did in 2017.

F

Even now, at the sixty two point, five percent of white population they are performing below 2011 standards and 100% of students are on free and reduced lunch.

F

You fought to prevent the establishment of a high tech school at rivers and when he finally gave then you divided the school of the greater usage going to the math-science charter, where their students entered through the front door and the high tech through the back door, Garrett devoted to close Garrett a predominantly black school tech school that was performing high in the you close Lincoln and those students are bused to londo.

F

These are just a few examples of your biased decisions, but, as was very the same and as you can see, you can't hurt one group of students without hurting the others now you're wanting to close press these granite press. These does have problems, but their problems are not insurmountable and not all are self-inflicted.

F

Given the right support from this board, this program can be an exemplary program. When the school came to you with the plans for this all-boys school, she didn't come with the all-black law school. She can't even an all-boys school inclusive of any students who wanted to attend. So when you fail to act responsibly, you become a part of the problem. There are many all-boys school around this nation's. That's performing very, very good and they've saved a lot of boys when any of our students feel we feel as parents. We feel as superintendent.

F

We feel as board members and we feel as this community merging and closing portcullis school is not the answer.

F

What was our problem is that we put aside bias and that we treated all students all right and, as you can see, we're still on the ball and it's time for us to rise to the top and the only way we're going to be able to do that. Is we put aside our biases, we think about our students, because that's what you're charged to do and to keep all students alike. Thank.

A

You thank you Jesus.

B

A

Who else do we have if you please stand and come on up to the podium, if there's any other members of public.

A

Is there anybody else after this, lady, okay.

H

Good afternoon I'm the doc Colston, also representing a speech Preparatory Academy. Let me share some good news with you all. In the winter, our kindergarten students were assessed on the fast-fish assessment, which takes a look at their reading and math skills. Little is known to other students, their age of a new grade levels, and we are very excited to report that 100% of our kindergartners, or than 85th percentile or veteran on your math assessment and on the reading assessment.

H

60% of our scoring 85th, percentile or better for most of them are actually they've already exceeded their a year in growth target and we're only at the luminary assessment. So good can't wait to see what they do in the spring and you hope that they will have a school to come back to next year, the best way to keep on the success train. Thank you very much. Thank.

K

White school or mandatory immunization supports I learned a lot. I learned that what I knew was funneled into the formerly white segregated schools. The high schools got new schools. While black schools receive a useless damage course, there were taught the sponson school, they were allowed more field, trips, math and science, material, a hands-on teaching learning and scientific experiments.

K

A small group about 28 of us went to the predominantly white school before those mandatory and agree, and we had to learn how to survive among people who did not like this, just because of the color of our skin. Until this day, this very day, I still understand why you, the school board and every other board and stuff I, had trouble understanding what needs to be done to me. Education, brown and black people have always known we've always known him. You have to that. You just want to admit the truth.

K

While you are spending, we need is tax dollars on steadiness and surveys. My answers, the solution is very simple. First, each one of you must be honest with yourself. This may be the hardest part of all, because you will have to admit to yourself.

K

While you truly believe that white students deserve at schools, better teachers, their opportunities and better everything than black and brown students who haven't had.

G

K

Level playing field in their lives and desegregation, then the solution becomes easy, provide all students with the same opportunities and stop trying to hide what you're doing and have them do to em trying to dumb down black and brown students. So they will feel less pain, less than powerful, less valuable. Ben placements do stop supporting white flag by allowing the more charter, long story, academic and all different types of school.

K

We had been people who were loving and caring when we were saying the people they were teaching us because they had to because they wanted this to their long strip. Not there is room for all students to soar as long as you don't manufacture, Becky I turbulence football games. Do the right thing. Thank.

C

A

The next item up is the support of the.

A

Okay, is there some.

I

Waiver, so this is for us to approve the superintendent writing.

D

A letter of support.

I

A

All in favor feels now.

A

I

Yes, I just voted by.

A

Only editorial comment, I think. A lot of these things are done so quickly and they're, so secretive I've imagined that it's gonna be very difficult for this to be practical in reality, as far as back briefing us in a timely manner for them to also try to get a deal done so whatever that for yeah.

I

I completely agree, that's why I was pretty and instead at the county level. I don't know that Charleston County ought to be entering into blue and blue with breweries.

B

I'm not talking.

A

About the states competing.

I

For a large scale right.

A

I

Talking about Firefly doesn't pay taxes in myself. You guys County yep, all.

A

I

A

With we have no other items on the agenda, so we will share much new dirt.
