Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Okay.
We
will
now
call
the
board
of
trustees
regular
board
meeting
to
order
at
this
time
now
we'll
entertain
a
motion
for
the
you
have
an
yeah.
I
echo
they
just
suggested.
Oh
yeah.
Thank
you
entertain
a
motion
for
the
adoption
of
agenda
and
approval
consent,
agenda
items.
A
A
I
believe
miss
coakley
is
on
vi
zoom
and
I
believe
she's
voting
electronically
as
well.
C
A
C
And
the
november
meeting,
and
should
I
mean
you,
you
bring
in
the
orientation
minutes
to
us
to
approve
some
of
us
were
there,
and
so
I
mean
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
it.
But
okay,
when
I
saw
all
of
that,
I
just
needed
to
ain't,
have
to
get
it
at
expedition.
A
Okay,
all
right,
so
do
you
want
to
split
out
then
or
explain,
split
out
those
meetings
that
were
obtained
and
we
can
vote
on
them
separately.
C
B
Yeah,
I
think
we
did
approve
the
october
26
minutes.
It's.
D
In
the
meeting
minutes
from
november
november,
16th.
A
Yeah,
the
question
was
also
that
the
border
orientation
was
also
included
as
well.
So
ms
green
question
is
proving
all
at
once
and
those
that
were
not
a
part
of
the
orientation
and
that
we
are
proving
those
as
well
so.
A
Sure
we
have
one
a
very
good
one.
B
I
thought
minutes
were
us
to
approve
actions
of
a
meeting.
There
were
no
actions
at
an
orientation
per
se.
It
wasn't
it
wasn't
a
meeting,
it
didn't
have
a
forum
per
se,
so.
E
You're,
absolutely
you're,
absolutely
right
on
that
there
were
no
action
items
on
the
board
orientation
minutes.
So
you
could
I
mean
you
know
splitting
here
you
could
still
move
to
approve,
especially
since
the
majority
of
the
board
are
new
members,
so
you
can
proceed
and
have
them
vote
on
the
minutes
or
you
don't
have
to
vote
on
those
minutes
because
there
were
no
actual.
E
Yeah,
but
my
suggestion
is
to
do
what
ms
green
wanted
to
do,
bifurcating
and
just
because
for
accuracy
the
the
members
of
the
orientation
may
want
to
vote
on.
The
minutes
is
accurate.
A
E
F
G
A
Right,
I
agree
with
that.
Okay,
thank
you,
so
much
miss
darvey
and
second
thomas
coats
out
any
questions
in
that
motion.

I
moved
that
we
tabled
this
discussion
until
our
january
11th
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
asked
that
the
party
present
to
us
and
prepare
to
answer
some
questions,

we
will
vote
on
this
in
our

Meeting.
A
Properly
move
by
miss

second
by
miss

Are
there
any
questions
hearing
none.
We
ask
that
you,
please
cash,
your
vote,
ms
coakley.
C
A
A
You
motion
carries
item
before

contractual
matter.
It's
their
motion.
F
I
move
that
we
ask
that
the
operations
office
provide
a
list
of
usable
facilities
so
that
we
can
make
a
better
decision
in
the
january
meeting.
F
Thank
you
everyone
good
afternoon,
I
I.
A
A
D
D
So
as
she
mentioned,
I'm
allison
eckerd
and
I'm
thrilled
to
be
here
today
and-
and
I
appreciate
you
taking
time,
given
that
it's
getting
later
and
later
in
the
evening,
so
I
have
a
short
presentation
that
I
was
asked
to
give
and
I'll
go
through
it
fairly
quickly,
but
then
I'm
always
happy
to
take
questions
now
and
and
later
this
week
and
and
at
any
time
if
something
arises
next
slide.
D
So
I'm
sure
all
of
you
are
very
tired
of
the
pandemic,
as
are
we.
I've
worked
very
closely
with
ellen
and
jeff
since
early
this
summer,
and
this
has
been
a
lot
of
sleepless
nights
and
and
worry,
but
we
are
making
progress
and
I
think
you'll
see
some
of
the
amazing
work
that
ellen
and
jeff
and
others
are
doing
within
the
schools
to
keep
things
running
as
as
well
as
can
be
expected
in
this
unprecedented
time
next
slide.
D
So
I
am
a
pediatric
infectious
diseases
physician,
but
I'm
also
a
mother,
and
those
are
my
two
children
there.
So
I
really
do
get
this
on
many
levels.
Neither
my
children
go
to
charleston
county
school
district,
so
I
feel
like
I'm
pretty
impartial
and
really
I'm
just
trying
to
help
everybody
the
best
that
I
know
how
all
of
my
data
and
slides
come
from
scientific
publications,
local
and
national
guidelines
and
my
expert
opinion,
at
least
as
of
12
14,
because
we
all
know
this
changes
every
minute
next
slide.
D
So
I
have
two
slides,
just
I'm
gonna
read
through
them
and
I
like
to
present
it
this
way.
I
usually
present
data
to
support
these
facts,
but
in
the
interest
of
time
I
just
like
everybody
to
sort
of
be
on
the
same
page
when
it
comes
to
how
I
think
about
coved
and
what
we
know
so
that
when
you
see
my
recommendations
or
my
thinking
later
on,
this
is
why
some
of
those
decisions
and
opinions
exist,
so
kovid
really
is
very
serious.
D
This
pandemic
has
caused
worldwide
morbidity
and
mortality,
that's
unprecedented
from
anything
that
we've
ever
seen
so
far
in
history.
D
It
is
true
that
statistically
older
people
and
people
with
underlying
conditions
are
more
likely
to
have
severe
covet
and
to
die
from
coved,
but
many
of
these
underlying
conditions
are
very
common,
such
as
diabetes
and
high
blood
pressure,
and
many
of
those
people
would
have
lived
very
many
decades
had
they
not
contracted
covid
and
to
date
there's
so
much.
We
don't
know
yet
about
the
long-term
effects
of
covid.
So
it
is
important
to
think
about
some
of
these
things.
D
When
we
talk
about
the
implications
for
the
community,
south
carolina
has
been
hit
very
hard
by
covid,
especially
when
you
consider
our
death
rate,
in
our
case
rate
per
hundred
thousand,
we're
not
that
populated
of
a
state,
but
we
have
been
hit
hard
and
in
some
of
the
areas
of
south
carolina
where
it's
more
rural,
the
public
health
facilities
in
the
hospitals
are
just
not
equipped
to
deal
with
such
a
crisis,
and
despite
what
many
people
have
read
in
the
news
or
the
national
news
in
south
carolina,
we
were
really
above
capacity
for
a
lot
of
july
and
august.
D
Despite
what
you
may
have
read,
children
can
get
coveted
and
as
the
number
of
people
in
the
u.s
and
worldwide
increase,
so
do
the
numbers
of
children
who
have
been
infected.
We
are
well
over
a
million
children
who
have
been
confirmed
to
have
co
had
to
have
had
coveted
children
can
transmit
the
virus
that
causes
covid,
even
if
they
are
asymptomatic.
D
There
is
some
evidence
that
younger
children,
particularly
those
less
than
10,
are
less
likely
to
get
infected
or
transmit
the
virus,
but
there's
much
we
don't
know
about
this
and
that's
not
to
say
never
they
they
do.
My
four-year-old
has
it
right
now
and
I
consider
her
quite
infectious
actually,
but
it
is
so
far
true
and-
and
this
has
stood
the
test
of
time
throughout
the
pandemic,
that
coveted
children
does
tend
to
be
very
mild.
Severe
disease
is
rare
and
it
usually
occurs
in
children
who
have
underlying
conditions.
D
Multi-System
inflammatory
syndrome,
on
the
other
hand,
usually
occurs
in
children
who
don't
have
any
underlying
conditions-
it's
very
rare,
but
when
it
happens
it
is
very
serious
and
often
life-threatening
at
musc.
We
have
now
treated
nine
children
and
they
have
all
been
critically
ill
when
they've
come
in,
but
it
is
very
rare
and
not
surprisingly,
the
cases
in
children
parallel
those
of
the
community
at
large.
D
So
this
has
been
very
stressful
for
everybody,
but
I
don't
envy
any
of
the
positions
of
those
making
school
decisions.
D
So
everybody
around
the
country
has
done
things
a
little
bit
differently,
based
on
state
guidelines
and
in
local
areas
as
well.
We
all
know.
I
think
this
goes
without
saying
that
there
are
many
negative
consequences
of
not
having
in
person
school.
D
So
when
we
started
in
person
school
back
in
september,
we
were
at
a
medium
to
high
disease
activity
in
charleston
county.
We
had
just
come
down
off
of
the
the
high
disease
activity
state,
so
there
was
a
lot
of
disease
activity
when
we
started,
which
is
not
too
different
than
what
we're
starting
to
see
now.
D
D
So
the
more
things
we
can
put
into
place
to
prevent
infection
and
transmission
is
what
we
like,
and
that
is
all
across
the
board,
from
an
individual
level
through
a
facility
level
to
a
district
level
to
a
state
level,
and
it's
been
really
amazing
to
watch
people
put
these
all
in
place.
D
D
So
this
is
a
little
bit
of
data
so
far
from
charleston
county,
and
this
is
the
last
four
weeks
of
data
and
so
keep
in
mind
that
within
the
district
there
are
over
49
000
students
and
staff
that
we're
talking
about.
So
you
can
see
each
day
how
many
people
test
positive.
D
In
my
opinion,
these
are
tiny
little
numbers
compared
to
the
total
numbers
of
students
and
staff
and
as
our
numbers
in
the
community
start
increasing
again
so
far,
our
numbers
have
maintained
fairly
stable
levels
that
may
change
a
little
bit
as
our
numbers
continue
to
rise,
but
but
so
far
they've
been
pretty
consistent
next
slide.
D
So
this
tells
you
a
little
bit
of
the
last
four
weeks
the
average
cases
per
day,
and
you
can
see
here
that
the
average
is
going
up
a
little
bit
not
unexpected
to
a
huge
degree,
given
that
our
numbers
are
increasing
in
the
community
and
we
are
testing
a
lot
more
than
we
were
several
months
ago.
D
So
what
is
remarkable
to
me
and
and
what
is
probably
the
most
important
slide
in
my
entire
presentation-
is
that,
while
it's
not
surprising
that
that
people
have
been
positive,
it's
in
the
community,
so
you're
not
going
to
be
immune
just
because
you
go
to
school.
But
it
is
remarkable
that,
given
all
of
the
mitigation
strategies
that
have
been
put
into
place
and
our
contact
tracing
within
the
schools
and
our
testing
and
our
isolation
that
to
date,
there
have
been
only
two
positive
cases
where
those
cases
likely
came
from
somebody
else
at
school.
D
In
every
other
case,
they
appear
to
have
come
from
a
contact
within
the
community
and
most
of
those
are
either
within
the
household
or
close
contacts,
say
at
a
sleepover
or
friends
coming
over
and
almost
all
of
the
transmissions
outside
the
classroom
have
come
from
the
mostly
from
household
contacts
or
from
relatives.
D
That
has
been
another
key
element
in
transmission
among
students
and
staff
and
of
course,
there's
only
so
much
that
you
can
do
in
mitigating
risk.
Outside
of
the
classroom.
There
have
been
a
number
of
transmissions
that
have
occurred
through
sleepovers
and
parties
and
things
that
we
only
have
so
much
control
over
next
slide.
D
So
not
everything
is
created
equal
and
we.
This
is
still
a
little
bit
of
a
work
in
progress
around
the
country,
but
we
know
that
there
are
some
activities
that
are
much
higher
risk
of
transmission
than
others,
and
I
think
that
that
is
part
of
why
the
school
has
done
so
well
within
the
classroom.
You
put
all
these
mitigation
factors
in
play
and
you
don't
allow
things
like
singing
in
inside
and
other
things
that
we
know
are
a
very
high
risk.
D
So
you
can
see
here
it's
delineated
a
little
bit
by
the
activity
and
the
ones
in
red
are
going
to
be
the
highest
amount
of
risk,
not
surprising,
because
those
are
the
ones
where
physical
distancing
is
more
difficult
or
perhaps
it's
a
little
more
difficult
to
wear,
masks
or
in
the
case
of
singing
those
droplets,
spread
much
farther
than
our
typical
six
feet
and
can
end
up
being
the
super
spreader
events
that
that
you
read
about
in
the
news
next
slide.
D
D
D
To
some
extent,
the
florence
region
for
musc
has
been
hit
very
hard,
so
the
low
country
is
increasing
in
its
seven-day
average,
but
not
to
the
extent
of
the
other
regions.
If
you
look
at
the
bottom
left,
that
is
the
disease
activity
by
county.
That
d
heck
puts
out
every
week
and
it
is
based
just
not
on
just
the
number
of
cases
but
which
direction
the
cases
are
going,
the
positivity
rate
and
the
overall
look
of
that
county,
and
so
this
whole
map
was
dark
blue.
D
When
we
started
with
our
surge
in
july
and
august
and
by
september,
many
counties
had
increased,
had
decreased
to
the
medium
disease
activity
and
we
are
back
up
to
nearly
every
county
in
south
carolina
in
the
high
area
of
activity.
D
So
if
you
look
to
the
top
right,
that's
charleston
county-
and
you
can
see
that
this
is
again.
The
the
biggest
thing
that
I
want
you
to
look
at
is
the
green
line.
So
that's
the
seven
day
moving
average.
The
reason
I
included
this
is
because
you
can
see
where
our
cases
were
in
july,
so
we
are
not
there
yet
in
charleston
county,
I'm
hoping
that
with
the
introduction
of
the
vaccines
and
the
increased
testing
around
the
holidays,
that
hopefully
we
will
not
get
to
that
place
again.
D
So
it's
important
to
keep
this
in
mind
when
we're
talking
about
the
increase
in
cases
that's
occurring
now,
we're
still
nowhere
close
to
where
we
were
in
july,
and
this
is
also
reflective
in
the
bottom
two
graphs
on
the
right-
and
I
included
this
to
show
you
these
are
admissions
to
musc
health
across
south
carolina.
D
The
top
graph
is
current.
If
you
look
at
the
dates
a
little
bit
small
but
and
then
down
below
is
july
dates
and
they're,
divided
by
admissions
by
age
group,
so
I
just
want
to
get
give
you
a
little
trend.
So
if
you
look
at
the
bottom
at
the
peak
in
the
19
to
49
year
olds,
there
were
43
admissions
that
particular
day
and
you
can
see
if
in
the
little
graph
above
that
there
were
nine
in
that
same
age
group.
D
So,
yes,
we
are
on
our
way
up,
but
hospitalizations
still
have
not
increased
to
the
levels
where
we
were
in
july,
and
so
I
we
have
seen
an
uptick,
but
but
not
to
that
same
level,
and
hopefully
this
will
not
continue
to
increase
to
that
extent
again
next
slide.
D
This
is
very,
very
complex
with
many
moving
parts
and
it
is
just
not
straightforward
by
any
stretch
and
dr
richardson
and
I
have
been
working
very
closely
with
the
team
at
charleston
county
school
district
to
try
to
help
them
navigate
some
of
these
very
tough
decisions.
D
One
of
those
decisions
is
remaining
in
person
versus
going
virtual
in,
in
most
cases,
we're
trying
very
hard
to
keep
the
kids
in
school.
D
And
so,
when
you
look
at
the
transmission
risk
within
the
classroom,
it
is
still
very
low,
and
so
that
is
important
thing
to
think
about,
and
then
the
other
part
is
sports,
which
has
been
really
a
driver
of
many
of
these
transmissions
and
trying
to
weigh
the
pros
and
the
cons
of
keeping
sports
going
versus
cancelling
or
postponing.
D
So
I
think
that
is
my
last
slide.
I've
lost
the
powerpoint
so,
but
I
think
it
is,
and
I
I
I
will
stop
there.
D
A
You
if
we
can,
I'm
not
sure
if
we've
lost
the
powerpoint
as
well,
we'll
we'll
load
the
powerpoint
into
board
docs.
We
were
at
the
at
the
start
of
the
board
meeting
time
when
we
received
the
final
slides,
dr
eckert,
there
was
a
quote
in
the
slides
that
we
wanted
to
share
with.
You
is
from
dr
david
cole.
He
says
during
this
holiday
season.
I
understand
and
share
the
temptation
together,
as
we've
always
done.
Some
people
have
sacrificed
too
much
for
us
to
falter
now.
Stay
diligent.
A
Now
is
not
the
time
to
let
our
guard
down
make
safe
and
smart
decisions
for
your
loved
ones.
So
it's
it's
critical
as
we
head
into
the
holidays
that
that
the
49
50
000
individuals,
who
are
affiliated
every
day
with
charleston
county
schools,
take
to
heart
the
the
advice
that
we
receive
from
dr
cole
as
we
take
advantage
of
the
expertise
that
we
receive
from
dr
eckert,
dr
richardson,
and
and
others
at
musc
n
d
heck
who
have
worked
so
diligently
alongside
us.
Dr
richardson
was
there
anything
that
you
wanted
to
say
this
evening.
K
I
am
just
happy
to
be
here,
thank
you
for
having
me-
and
I
really
just
wanted
to
be
here-
to
support
using
data
in
the
decision
making
and
these
very
difficult
decisions,
and
let
you
know
that
that
I
too
speak
to
ellen
and
jeff,
often
as
well
as
dr
eckerd,
and
continue
to
share
the
latest
cdc
and
dhec
guidance.
K
There's
new
quarantine
guidance
that
we
have
discussed.
There's
new
interim
school
guidance
on
positive
cases
and
close
contacts,
and
I
just
just
wanted
you
to
know
that
I
was
here
and
and
very
much
involved
and
feel
like
the
school
district
is
doing
a
wonderful
job
from
what
I
know
of
what
they're
doing
and
what
other
school
districts
around
the
state
and
around
the
country.
You're
doing
you've
really
got
a
wonderful
team,
doing
the
contact
investigations,
the
case
investigations
and
and
we're
just
here.
K
If
you
have
any
questions
and
and
know
that
you're
using
good
data
to
to
make
difficult
decisions
and
we're
there
with
you
thanks.
A
L
You,
dr
sweet,
I
I
would
be
remiss
without
once
again
thanking
dr
eckert
and
dr
richardson,
as
well
as
ellen
nitz
who's.
Here
today,
with
with
her
staff,
I
have
the
opportunity
to
speak
with
districts
around
the
country
on
a
regular
basis,
and
they
I
can
guarantee
you
are
envious
of
the
relationship
and
the
and
the
team
that
we
have
put
together
here.
When
we
talk
about
state
health
regulation,
regulators,
we
talk
about
our
hospital
professionals
and
we
talk
about
an
internal
staff.
L
L
It's
based
on
the
information
that
was
provided
by
dr
eckert,
and
when
you
look
at
the
minimum,
minimal
number
of
transmissions
and
cases
within
our
schools,
that's
a
huge
factor
as
well
as
the
fact
that
we
did
successfully
return
after
thanksgiving,
even
though
we
did
see
the
daily
number
of
cases
rise.
It
did
level
out
over
this
over
this
past
week,
so
we're
looking
at
continuing
with
the
current
education
routine.
On
the
on
the
fourth
of
january.
L
L
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
visiting
a
number
of
schools-
and
I
am,
I
walk
out
of
every
school
continually
amazed
at
what
our
teachers
and
what
our
kids
are
doing
to
follow
these
rules,
even
the
littlest
of
kids
following
the
protocols
that
are
necessary-
and
I
think
it's
been
highly
effective
across
the
entire
district
from
a
testing
perspective
ellen,
has
her
turn
a
team
working
with
musc,
have
rolled
out
and
are
continuing
to
work,
the
saliva
testing
that
is
sent
to
musc.
We
get
those
results
back
within
12
to
24
hours.
L
It's
been
highly
effective.
We
are
in
the
process
of
rolling
out
the
state
binax
now
kits
we
have
those
in
place.
We
had
to
get
the
consent
forms
we
had
to
get
the
disposal
procedures
laid
out
and
make
sure
that,
from
a
nursing
perspective,
we
were
ready
to
follow
everything
we
need
to
follow
for
their
safety.
L
We
are
rolling
those
kits
out,
we'll
begin
to
use
it
this
week
later
this
week
and
be
ready
to
roll
that
out
fully
in
january.
What
that
test
gives
us
is
a
quick
result.
So
if
we
get
a
positive
result
from
that
finance,
now
kit,
the
student
or
the
teacher
goes
home,
we
can
begin
contact
tracing
immediately.
If
the
test
ends
up
negative,
we
still
do
the
saliva
sample,
which
has
a
higher
efficacy
rate,
and
so
we
basically
do
a
double
test
on
those
that
are
negative.
L
We're
still
just
testing
symptomatic
individuals
in
the
schools.
At
this
point-
and
we
are,
however,
we
have
been
arranging
for
testing
agencies
to
help
us
whether
it
be
federer
d,
hec
they've
set
up
testing
for
us
this
week.
They've
got
us
lined
up
to
come
back
on
the
week
of
the
fourth
to
do
testing
for
us
as
folks
come
off
of
their
holidays
as
well.
L
For
that
outside
testing,
it
was
mentioned
by
dr
eckert-
we've
had
some
challenges
with
sports
as
far
as
cases,
and
not
all
those
are
within
the
team
themselves.
Our
team
themselves
a
lot
of
times
we'll
find
out
the
day
after
an
event
that
the
other
team
had
a
positive
case.
L
But
when
we
do
the
contact
tracing,
we
can't
distinguish
who
and
who
didn't
have
contact
with
those
individuals,
and
so
we've
had
quarantine
entire
teams
and
at
this
point
as
of
this
second,
because
the
number
does
change
on
a
regular
basis,
we've
quarantined
15
out
of
60
schools,
it's
50
teams
since
the
middle
of
november.
So
that's
15
teams
out
of
60,
that's
about
25
percent.
L
Again
those
teams
were
that
were
quarantined
in
the
middle
of
november,
backed
as
you
know,
back
in
that
plane
again,
but
that
right
now
is
the
the
biggest
risk
we
have
at
this
point.
If,
in
any
of
those
cases,
if
there
was
a
case
on
a
team
and
we
didn't
identify
and
those
kids
got
back
into
the
school
population
before
we
could
quarantine
them,
we
obviously
would
stand
at
risk
of
closing
down
additional
additional
classrooms
in
an
individual
school.
We
we've
had
the
quick
contact
racing.
L
We've
had
a
quick
identification,
but
that's
something
that
creates
a
heavy
burden
on
our
nursing
staff
to
get
that
done.
So
our
discussion
point
with
this
one
is
that
we'd
like
to
talk
with
principals
and
athletic
leaders
tomorrow
to
work
through
some
of
the
details.
We've
already
seen,
two
of
our
high
school
charter
teams,
suspend
their
sports
programs,
charleston
math
and
science
and
jane's
island
charter
is
now
going
suspect,
suspend
their
programs.
L
A
Thank
you,
reverend
mack,
we'll
turn
this
part
of
the
superintendent's
report
back
over
to
you
to
to
entertain
questions.
Okay
at
this
time.
Now,
if
there
are
any
questions
from
board
members,
ask
that
you
say
goodbye
and
we
will
start
the
time
on
your
first
question.
Go
ahead,
dr
french.
B
Hello,
dr
eckhart.
A
B
A
bit
higher-
and
I
just
didn't
know
what
you
guys
are
using
to
determine
contact
tracing
and
how.
How.
D
So
those
numbers
from
charleston
county
cases
came
from
charleston
county
from
ellen
and
the
contact
tracing
team.
D
So
I
don't
know
if
the
discrepancy
may
be
the
difference
between
isolation
and
quarantine
and
keep
in
mind
that
those
were
on
that
particular
day.
So
people
come
in
and
out
of
isolation.
D
You
know
every
10
days,
so
jeff
or
ellen
may
be
able
to
comment
more
on
how
those
numbers
look
compared
to
what
you
are
looking
at.
D
But
your
question
about
under
reporting
is
an
issue
everywhere
around
the
country
and
there
have
been
a
number
of
times
in
other
schools
that
I
work
with
where
the
family
hasn't
reported.
You
know
a
positive
case
in
the
household
or.
D
A
positive
contact
at
a
sleepover
or
whatever,
and
that
is
the
nature
of
this
pandemic,
and
so
it's
one
of
those
things
that
you
just
have
to
consider
in
your
thinking.
But
there's
only
so
much
that
that
we
can
do
you
can
keep
educating
people
and
and
hoping
that
people
will
be
honest.
D
But
the
way
I
look
at
it
is
that
the
contact
tracers
have
taken
each
positive
case
and
see
and
they
look
to
see
if
they
can
be
connected
with
other
positive
cases
in
the
classroom,
in
the
schools
and
to
my
knowledge,
almost
all
of
those
have
had
another
positive
contact
say
at
home
or
outside
of
the
school.
So
I
feel
pretty
good
about
the
transmission
numbers
within
the
school
and
intellectually.
D
A
Okay,
thank
you,
dr
accurate.
Is
there
any
further
questions
from
any
other
board
members?
Mr
green.
L
Mr
screen,
there
there
is
no
automatic,
we
don't
have
any
automatic
testing
plan
for
coming
back.
We
will
continue
to
test
systematic
personnel
and
encourage
folks
to
get
the
testing
we've
published
the
dates
and
locations
for
that
for
that
testing
for
both
symptomatic
and
asymptomatic,
kids.
L
Come
back
correct,
we've
actually
end
of
last
week,
communications
published
dates
for
the
first
week
of
january
already.
L
D
And
I
would
say
too,
musc
is
doing
pre
and
post
holiday
testing
as
well,
in
addition
to
the
testing
that
they're
creating
with
charleston
county.
So
there
is
lots
of
opportunity
for
people
to
get
tested
before
they
come
back.
If
they
choose
to
do
so,.
L
The
the
communication
has
been
very
specific,
with
the
principles
on
who
they
should
be
communicating
and
not
communicating
with.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
protecting
the
privacy
of
our
students
we're
protecting
the
privacy
of
our
teachers
and
ellen.
This
has
been
been
pretty
much
the
the
gatekeeper
with
making
sure
that
the
dialogue
is
with
the
principal
that
comes
to
her,
that
she
does
the
contact
tracing,
and
I
I'm
not
aware
of
circumstances
where
they're
out
talking
to
folks
about
what's
going
on
in
their
school.
L
So
if
anything,
we've
had
some
parents
that
have
been
disappointed
that
they're
not
getting
more
information
from
the
principals,
but
we're
trying
to
be
consistent
with
across
the
district
on,
what's
being
said
and
that's
either
published
through
those
that's
either
published
through
our
website
or
closed
contacts
are
contacted
directly
by
ellen's
staff
to
tell
them
that
they're
quarantined.
A
A
We
don't
really
know
what
the
plan
is
for
how
to
make
decisions
about
specific
schools
that
may
be
having
problems
with
covid,
and
so
I
wanted
to
know.
Under
what
circumstances
would
you
consider
closing
a
school
due
to
covet
and
quarantine
impacts,
and
what
metrics
would
you
use
for
that
within
the
school
population?
A
We
have
exactly
the
right
people
on
this
call
to
come
to
collaborate
or
to
verify
to
confirm
that
this
is
a
validate.
This
is
what
we
do.
Ellen
mitz
works
very
closely
with
dr
richardson.
Someone
told
me
that
she
and
dr
richardson
are
on
the
phone
daily.
I
don't
know
if
that
and
dr
richardson
and
or
dr
eckert
or
someone
on
their
teams,
helped
talk
through
every
single
situation.
A
I
would
ask
if
mr
browey
or
director
of
nursing
ellen
knits
want
to
add
to
that
answer.
They
may
want
to
elaborate
a
bit,
but
it's
a
it's
truly
a
case
by
case
flashy
by
classroom
wing
by
wing
school
by
school
decision
in
collaboration
with
the
health
professionals.
G
L
Because
I
I
want
her
to
have
it
have
an
opportunity
to
explain
to
you
all
those
inner
workings
with
dr
richardson
in
in
many
cases,
dr
record
as
well,
when
there
is
a
case
in
the
district
that
looks
odd
or
that
could
present
a
possible
situation
where
a
classroom
might
need
to
be
closed
and,
as
dr
postwaite
mentioned,
the
the
conversations
between
her
and
dr
richardson
or
daley,
and
it's
probably
even
multiple
times
a
day.
L
But
I'm
taking
up
ellen's
space
here,
I'd
like
ellen
to
just
talk
about
how
she
does
some
of
those
has
some
of
those
discussions
to
determine.
We
can
stay
fully
open.
H
So,
thank
you
jeff.
So
really
and
truly
we
have
to
look
at
every
single
case
and
work
it
individually
and
it
will
be
based
upon
the
investigative
findings
of
who
the
positive
contact
was
whether
it
would
be
a
teacher
or
a
student
and
then
the
interaction
that
they
have
within
their
classroom.
And
so
there
is
not.
I
had
one
principle
that
said:
could
you
put
that
in
a
flow
chart
and
it's
really
almost
impossible
to
put
in
a
flow
chart,
because
there
are
so
many
different
variables
of
how
you
could
do
the
contact
racing?
H
So
after
we
find
our
positive
case,
we
find
out
who
the
close
contacts?
Are
we
go
through
a
dif?
You
know,
through
a
whole
system
of
questions,
trying
to
help
people
remember
what
they
have
done
for
the
past
up
to
four
days,
possibly
because
we
have
to
go
20,
we
have
to
go
48
hours
prior
to
symptom
onset
so
having
to
help
them
jog
their
memory
asking
them.
You
know
if
they
had
any
special
contact
with
students
that
may
have
discipline
issues
with
students
that
have
you
know
like
resources.
H
If
it's
different
kids,
then
we
have
to
find
out
from
the
principal
what
the
seating
arrangement
is
within
the
classroom.
We
have
to
find
out
if
they
rode
the
bus,
if
they
do
kaleidoscope
if
they
do
extracurricular.
H
I
have
the
database
that
proves
that
that
you
can
go
through
and
see
who
that
you
know
with
the
close
contact
who
the
positive
case
was,
and
if
that
close
contact
should
convert
to
positive,
then
you
know
who
that
would
be
linked
to
so
it's
it's
been
a
lot
of
coordination,
but
I
do
have
a
staff
of
seven
other
nurse
managers
that
help
and
assist
with
this.
I
actually
am
going
to
be
bringing
on
another
full-time
contact
tracer
in
january,
because
it's
very
much
needed
and
because
this
is
this
is
our
priority.
H
H
H
H
To
have
people
do
the
right
thing
during
the
holiday
stay
within
your
own
family.
Do
not
gather,
do
not
go
to
parties,
learn
how
to
zoom
and
play
games
and
do
things
with
your
own
family
and
really
help
protect
those
that
you
love
and
those
that
may
be.
You
know
more
susceptible
to
covet.
We
have
lost
way
too
many
lives.
Our
sacrifice
has
been
too
great
and
we
all
need
to
pull
together
to
do
the
right
thing.
B
So
I
really
appreciate
that-
and
I
know
you
guys
are
doing
very
hard
work,
but
I
still
am
just
wondering-
and
this
may
have
to
do
with
what
the
community
incidence
is
more
than
what
the
transmission
rate
is,
what
triggers
closing
a
wing
closing
a
classroom
closing
a
school.
You
know
what
number
of
cases
what
number
of
people
are
out
before
you
consider
that,
because
those
are
the
kind
of
metrics
I'm
asking
about.
H
Sure
and
dr
eckert,
are
you
still
on
the
line
I
am
so?
Would
you
like
to
to
be
able
to
answer
that
for
us
sure
I.
D
I
can
do
my
best,
so
I
will
answer
exactly
you
know
to
the
best
of
my
ability
what
you're
asking,
but
I
I
really
do
want
to
emphasize
our
numbers
in
schools-
are
going
to
go
up.
It
is
inevitable
because
our
numbers
in
the
community
are
going
up.
That
doesn't
mean
necessarily
that
there
is
an
increased
risk
to
the
children
in
the
classroom
on
some
level.
D
They
have
a
higher
risk,
if
they're
not
in
school,
behind
plexiglass
and
behind
a
mask
and
they're
out
with
their
friends.
Thinking
that
outdoor
is
perfectly
fine
but
they're.
You
know
two
feet
next
to
their
friends
or
they
have
a
sleepover
or
you
name
it,
and
that
is
what
we
have
seen
for
the
last
six
months.
So
I
I
really
do
want
to
emphasize
that.
D
D
They
are
in
conjunction
with
with
all
of
all
of
us,
and
what
we
typically
look
at
is
how
many
are
in
a
classroom
who
have
been
positive
in
some
of
the
cases
we
have
seen
multiple
kids
in
a
classroom
who
are
positive,
but
the
common
link
is
the
basketball
team
and
not
actually
the
classroom,
and
so
it
often
looks
a
certain
way,
but
is
not
that
way
when
you
really
talk
to
people,
which
is
why
it
is
difficult
to
have
an
algorithm,
so
dhec
does
not
make
specific
recommendations
about
closing
classrooms
or
closing
schools,
but
what
we
typically
use
is
some
of
the
same
metrics
that
we
use
for
influenza
and
influenza.
D
The
recommendation
typically,
is
that,
if
more
than
10
of
the
students
are
out
with
febrile
illnesses,
you
know
they
have
a
fever,
they
look
like
they
have
influenza
or
people
in
a
particular
school
notice
that
the
absentee
rate
is
above
10.
That
would
be
probably
a
trigger
to
to
close
that
school
in
general.
Dhec
has
offered
advice
about
three
in
a
classroom.
D
D
It's
that
say
two
were
siblings
and
a
third's,
a
cousin,
for
example,
and
I
don't
know
all
of
the
specific
examples,
but
I'm
in
contact
with
other
schools,
besides
those
in
charleston
county,
and
that
has
been
pretty
much
what
we
see
across
the
board
when
I
talk
to
the
school
nurses
or
others
for
these
circumstances.
D
Hopefully
that
answers
your
question.
If
not
I'm
I'm
happy
to
talk
further.
A
Thank
you,
dr
eckert.
Thank
you,
dr
richardson.
Ms
nets.
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
rory
and
the
staff,
and
I
don't
want
to
continue
calling
names,
because
there
are
a
number
of
people
that
goes
into
decision
making
on
the
day-to-day
operation.
A
As
far
as
our
schools
are
concerned,
and
we
are
we're
very
appreciative
of
the
highly
skilled
resources
that
we
have
to
our
disposal
in
helping
us
to
make
these
daily
decisions
as
far
as
covert
is
concerned,
and
dr
eckert,
I
truly
thank
you
for
your
insight
and
and
your
presentation
that
you
presented
to
us
today.
A
It's
been
a
wealth
of
knowledge
and
information
and
on
behalf
of
the
board
that
you
would
just
like
to
say,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
input
and
dr
foleswood
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
you.
If
there's
anything
further,
yes,
sir,
you
all
may
want
to
stand
for
just
a
moment.
You've
been
sitting
for
a
while,
but
in
december,

when
we

I
know

A
Mr
kennedy's
going
to
introduce
them
and
their
presentation,
but
I
am.
I
would
like
to
invite
the
board
just
to
take
a
30-second
stand
break
because
I
know
you
have
to
be
tired
of
sitting
yeah.
Okay,
thank
you.
So
much.
We
will
take
a
one
minute

Everyone,
it's
such
a
great
pleasure
and
honor
to
represent
charleston
county
school
district,
where
students
are
the
heart
of
our
work.
I
am
also
appreciative
and
thankful
of
the
support
from
the
district
school
board
members,
teachers,
students
and
my
administrators
as
I
take
on
this
new
role.
J
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
amazing
educators
across
the
district
who
are
working
so
diligently.
Excuse
me,
it
missed
a
pandemic
to
show
students
tough
times,
don't
last
tough
people
do
I'm
excited
about
where
this
journey
will
take
me
and
I'm
committed
to
working
continuously
to
make
sure
all
voices
are
heard
and
equity
is
achieved
across
the
district
again.
Thank

A
Next
we'd
like
to
ask
the
legion
of
valor
bronze
cross
recipient
angel
simmons
book
negra
of
baptist
hill
middle
high
school
is
angel.
On

was
named
the

of
valor
bronze
cross
for
achievement.
This
award
is
presented
to
top
army
cadets
around
the
world
during
their
senior
year.
This
is
the
fifth
consecutive
year
a
bobcat
cadet
has
earned
this
award
from
the
legion
of
valor
of
the
united

of
america.
A
Incorporated

the
goal
of
working
in
both
fields.
Please,
let's
help
give
angel
a
round
of
applause.
A
A
That
also
means
that
92
percent
of
their
10th
through
12th
grade
students,
completed
at
least
one
college
course.
That
also
means
that
91
of
their
seniors
earned
at
least
20
college
credits.
49
of
their
seniors
will
be
graduated
with
an
associate's
degree
and
there
are
diverse
students
from
throughout
ccsd
who
are
part
of
early
college.
Let's
congratulate
principal
denney.
A
M
M
A
Thank
you,
reverend
collins.
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
acknowledge
you
of
your
years
of
service
that
you
have
rendered
to
the
ccsd
district,
not
only
we
have
served
together
for
the
past.
I
think
six
years
together
on
the
board,
but
it's
highly
noted
that
you
have
served
12
years
on
the
board.
As
a
representative
of
the
north
charleston
district,
you
have
given
your
time
and
your
service
these
past
12
years
not
only
to
north
charleston
but
to
the
entire
district
as
a
whole.
A
I'd
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
you
for
your
service.
Thank
you
for
your
your
passion
that
you
exhibit
throughout
those
12
years,
but
particularly
the
six
years
that
we
shared
together
on
the
board.
A
You
you
expressed
a
heart
and
desire
to
make
things
better
for
kids
throughout
the
district
you,
you
asked
in-depth
questions
that
would
lead
to
answers
to
help
you
better
serve
throughout
the
county
and
believe
it
or
not.
You
know
those
questions
did
not
go
on
answer
or
unheard
of,
but
but
you
expressed
a
desire
to
do
likewise.
A
Those
12
years
believe
it
or
not,
has
made
a
difference
within
ccsd
and
have
impacted
the
classrooms.
It
has
impacted
our
schools
as
a
whole,
and
not
only
that
you
have,
you
have
set
amount
decision
making
and
serving
with
the
leadership
of
this
district
within
a
whole.
A
So
you
have,
you
have
done
greater
impact,
believe
it
or
not
throughout
your
time,
in
your
tenure
that
you
have
served
on
the
board
and
on
behalf
of
of
the
board
of
trustees
and
behalf
of
our
superintendent
and
the
staff
of
those
that
you
have
worked
with
for
so
many
years.
We'd
just
like
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service
that
you
have
rendered
to
the.
A
Thank
you,
everyone.
Thank
you
very
much
and
I'm
gonna
be
I'll,
be
very
brief
for
miss
dobby,
say
my
friend.
A
So
when
I
started
out
50
years
ago,
I
had
all
black
here
all
black
mustache,
I'm
a
little
speckled
now
and
I
remember
father
robert,
I
was
in
the
board
when
I
got
here,
and
I
said
no,
I
was
the
only
the
only
black
man
on
the
board
at
that
time
and
behold
we
had
the
same
thing
today.
A
Lost
some
clothes.
It's
like.
I
got
a
lot
of
things
that
it
started
that
I
didn't
have
when
I
started
out,
but
through
it
all,
god
brought
me
through,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
the
time
and
service
and
support
and
by
the
postal
ways
and
stuff.
They
always
answering
my
questions
and
that's
the
best
of
the
ability
you
know
sometime.
I
have
had
a
little
beast
and
stuff,
but
you
gotta
have
that
you
gotta
have
a
little
fight
and
you're
doing
the
school
board.
A
A
Dobby,
the
most
and
I'll
say
that
I'm
gonna
say
why.
Oh,
we
started
off
kind
of
rough
kind
of,
but
now
like
right
now.
I
think
I
can
just
let
you
out
of
her
hands.
You
maybe
should
be
out
of
mind
so
so
god
keep
turning
things
around.
So
thank
god,
for
all
of
you
remember
mac.
Thank
you
have
a
great
respect
for
you
nowadays
and
try
to
thank
god
for
everybody.
God
bless.
B
B
A
A
Indeed,
honored
to
have
a
in
our
presence
with
us
tonight,
mr
kevin
holland
shed,
who
have
served
with
some
of
us
for
the
past
four
years
and
others
who
know
him
throughout
the
community
a
service
that
he
has
also
given
as
a
representative
of
north
charleston,
mr
holland,
shed.
You
have
definitely
expressed
your
your
desire
and
your
willingness
to
want
to
make
things
better
for
your
community
and
for
the
kids
in
ccsd.
A
I
like
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service
that
you
have
rendered
the
service
that
you
have
given
not
only
to
the
students
and
to
each
school
in
the
areas
in
which
your
representative,
but
you
also
gave
your
service
to
the
support
of
the
staff
and
the
work
that
they
have
been
doing.
Thank
you
so
much.
I
know
that
you
will
continue
to
do
just
that.
A
Your
desire
to
continue
to
improve
your
community,
because
every
time
that
you
you
spoke
at
the
board
meetings,
you
always
talk
about
your
community
and
helping
to
ensure
that
things
are
better
for
your
community.
That
you've
had
a
passion
for
you've,
expressed
that
you've
shown
that,
and
you
have
delivered
that
for
your
community.
We
like
to
say
thank
you
for
the
four
years
that
you
have
given
to
the
ccsd
community
and
to
this
board
and
on
behalf
of
the
board,
we
like
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service.
A
N
N
Well,
thank
you,
reverend
mack,
it's
good
to
see
you
and
the
board
members,
even
though
I'm
healing
from
surgery
and
still
moving
forward,
as
I
told
erica,
I'm
about
114
pounds
lighter
and
still
adjusting,
but
I'm
still
active
in
my
community
with
the
churches
in
north
charleston,
good
people
like
teddy
pryor
and
others.
We
are
working
to
not
only
close
the
achievement
gap
but
to
make
sure
that
we
work
on
affordable
financial
help
for
parents
who
want
to
be
homeowners
within
the
neck
area.
N
So
the
work
is
not
done
to
close
the
achievement
gap.
Parents
have
to
be
comfortable
within
the
household.
It
helps
the
child
and
run
in
closing
and
education.
So
I
appreciate
you
rubbing
mac.
I
know
we
have
talked
extensively
in
the
past
few
weeks.
Look
forward
to
talking
to
you
more
and
thank
you,
mr
frazier
and
other
board
members
that
reached
out
to
me,
and
I
appreciate
it.
God
bless
each
and
every
one
of
you.
G
A
G
M
A
G
M
A
Needless
to
say,
we
know
that
you
will
definitely
use
it
to
the
greatest
of
extent,
given
all
that
you
have
dealt
with
over
the
course
of
this
year,
dealing
with
covet
and
so
forth
on
the
line
we
thank
you
for
you
and
your
staff.
We
know
that
you
have
not
done
all
of
this
by
yourself.
It
takes
a
good
team
of
people
to
make
this
happen,
but
we
like
to
give
you
this
small
token
and
say
to
you
merry.
Christmas
is
what
I
like
to
say.
A
Man
folks
like
to
say
happy
holidays,
but
I
myself
said
merry
christmas,
because
there's
definitely
a
need
of
christ
to
be
remembered
as
we
go
through
these
trying
times.
So,
if
you
don't
mind,
please
sharing
this
as
we
continue
our
social
justice.
Thank
you.
So.
G
F
Okay,
we
have
another
recognition
of
a
staff
member,
as
dr
fosterweight
pointed
out.
F
I
know
the
audience
couldn't
see,
but
she
couldn't
do
this
without
the
support
of
an
amazing
team,
and
while
we
wish,
we
had
infinite
resources
to
give
everybody
we're
going
to
give
a
gift
to
someone
who's
really,
at
least
in
my
my
short
tenure
here,
been
very
supportive
of
me
and
and-
and
I
think
everybody
else
will
agree
and
then,
of
course,
the
older
board
members
will
agree
that
this
person
has
served
very
well
and
we
just
really
appreciate
you
trudy.
A
A
A
You
know
I
called
over
here
about
four
times
today,
one
time
about
three
minutes
before
we
were
supposed
to
be
here.
Saying:

M
Yes

the
district

this
past
friday,
the
annual
financial

for
fiscal
year
20
they

june
30
to
compile
those
statements
and
to
audit
those
is
done
by
our
external
audit
firm
clifton
larson
allen.
So
we
have
two
members
from
clifton
larsen
allen
tonight
to
brief
the
board
on
the
results
of
audit
chris
kessler,
who
is
a
a
partner
with
with
the
firm
and
reid
founder
who
is
the
art
manager
for
the
engagement
with
the
charleston
county
county
school
district?
O
Great
thank
you
don
good
evening.
Everyone
pleasure
to
be
in
front
of
you
this
evening
and
talking
with
you
about
the
results
of
our
2020
audit
and
the
financial
statement
results
that
we
have
in
front
of
you
here.
So
if
you
go
next
slide,
please,
as
don
said,
I'm
chris
kessler,
I'm
principal
with
cla
and
joining
me
today
is
reedbinder
who's.
A
manager
on
the
audit
account
a
little
overview
of
cla.
Just
because
I
know
there's
some
new
faces
on
the
board.
O
We
are
the
eighth
largest
public
accounting
firm
in
the
country.
We
do
specialize
in
the
public
sector
and
we
are
the
largest
governmental
serving
public
accounting
firm
in
the
country
as
well.
So
next
slide,
so
the
the
services
we
performed,
just
real
quick,
you
know
we
are
talking
about
the
year-
ended
june,
30
2020.
So
you
know
five
months
ago.
You
know
you
all
were
getting
preliminary
unaudited
numbers.
O
Those
now
have
been
through
the
audit
and
are
issued
into
the
financial
statements
within
the
packets
and
the
deliverables
that
you
all
have
received.
So
the
services
we
provide
are,
of
course,
the
audit
of
the
financial
statements
and,
and
we
perform
that
audit
in
accordance
with
government
audit
standards
and
then,
of
course,
we
also
perform
what's
referred
to
as
the
single
audit,
which
is
the
audit
of
federal
compliance.
O
So
we
are
testing
grant
expenditures
that
the
school
district
you
know
incurs
and
expends
during
the
year,
and
we
make
sure
that
they're
they're
spent
in
accordance
with
the
programmatic
rules
and
make
sure
that
that
all
the
the
t's
are
crossed
and
the
eyes
are
dotted
as
it
relates
to
those
federal
funds
that
you
all
received
through
south
carolina
department
of
education.
O
So
next
slide
please.
So
you
know,
we've
been
doing
this
audit
for
five
years
and
yeah.
This
isn't
a
surprise,
but
but
2020
was
different
in
how
we
had
to
perform
the
audit.
Obviously,
the
school
district
was
going
through
a
lot
of
things
during
year-end
close
and
trying
to
get
ready
for
financial
statement,
preparation
and
the
audit
with
bringing
the
students
back
to
school,
with
dealing
with
the
local
pandemic
in
the
communities
and
what
was
going
on
so
so
things
were
different.
O
So,
from
an
audit
perspective,
south
carolina
department
of
education
extended
the
deadline.
Typically,
financial
statements
have
to
be
issued
by
december
1st,
given
everything
that
was
going
on.
They
extended
that
deadline
to
january
15th,
so
obviously
the
school
district
you
know
exceeded
that
by
far
this
year
and
we're
really,
you
know
pretty
much
on
the
same
schedule
that
we
would
have
been
in
a
non-pandemic
year,
the
gasby,
the
governmental
accounting
standards
board.
O
They
delayed
all
standard
implementation
by
one
year
due
to
the
fact
that
governments
just
didn't
have
the
resources
to
to
to
to
focus
on
implementation.
This
year,
the
district's
processes
and
procedures
for
your
end,
clothes
were
impacted,
so
you
know
folks
working
whether
they're
remotely
or
maybe
just
not
gathering
in
person
anymore.
You
know,
as
far
as
you
know,
supervision
and
review
and
oversight
and
transaction
processing.
So
you
know
the
school
district's
internal
controls
had
to
change,
so
we
had
to
audit
those
changes.
O
So
a
lot
of
our
audit
procedures
involved
looking
at
things
pre-pandemic-
and
you
know
the
last
quarter
of
the
fiscal
year
during
the
pandemic.
What
were
those
controls
and
what
were
those
processes?
So
so
it
was
a
lot
of
effort
both
on
the
school
district
side
and
from
cla
side
and
completing
the
audit
and
unfortunately,
because
of
technology.
O
The
audit
was
really
able
to
be
completed.
You
know
as
normal
without
skipping
a
beat,
so
the
school
district
has
implemented
an
erp
system
that
has
remote
access,
electronic
internal
control,
workflows
and
things
along
those
lines
that
allowed
for
us
to
complete
our
audit
remotely
and
handling
a
lot
of
our
conversations
and
former
face-to-face
interactions
via
zoom
or
teams
or
whatever
it
was.
So
you
know,
given
all
of
the
the
challenges
that
the
school
district
had
this
year.
O
The
audit
really
was
successful
and
you
know
well
executed
from
from
our
standpoint,
so
just
a
quick
pause
to
to
thank
don
and
jackie
and
their
teams
for
persevering
through
this.
This
challenging
time
and
still
getting
things
done
on
time
and
getting
things
done
well
for
us
to
get
in
and
get
our
work
done
next
slide,
please
so
the
results
of
the
procedures.
We
issued
an
unmodified
opinion
in
our
independent
auditors
report,
which
is
a
clean
opinion
on
the
financial
statements.
O
We
did
not
have
any
findings,
we
did
not
have
any
audit
adjustments
or
anything
along
those
lines
and
then
on
the
single
audit.
In
our
federal
program
compliance
we
had
a
unmodified
opinion,
a
clean
opinion
and
no
findings
in
any
of
the
grant
programs
that
we
tested
as
well
next
slide.
O
Please-
and
so
I
want
to
highlight
this-
this
chart
here
very
quickly,
so
for
those
of
you
that
have
been
on
the
board
for
for
five
years
and
remember
back
to
when
we
came
in
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
the
school
district
had
and
some
of
the
findings
when
we
came
in,
we
had
said
you
know,
if
you
you
hired
cla,
we
are
not
a
firm
that
is
going
to
you
know,
diminish
findings.
O
If
there's
an
issue
we're
going
to,
let
you
know,
because
we
think
findings
are
important
to
resolving
issues
that
an
entity
may
have
and
and
letting
the
public
and
the
board,
and
everybody
know
what
what
challenges
may
be
out.
There
get
them
corrected,
and
so
you
look
at
this
timeline
here
from
2018
2019
to
2020.
O
You
know
there
are
five
findings
in
2018,
one
in
2019
and
now
zero
in
2020,
so
so
that's
a
testament
to
the
school
district
and
the
management
team.
For
what
they've
done
it's
it's
not
just
findings
are,
are
magically
disappearing.
These
are
corrective
action
plans
that
have
been
put
in
place
by
the
team
there
to
to
address
these
findings.
So
this
is
a
a
great
statistic,
a
great
takeaway
from
this
presentation
me
being
the
auditor.
O
My
my
one
comment
on
this
will
be:
don't
take
your
foot
off
the
gas,
internal
controls
and
processes
and
following
those
procedures,
are
always
important
as
as
any
time
that
happens,
you
could
potentially
run
into
you
know
other
things
kind
of
creeping
in.
If
you,
if
you
don't
keep
that
focus,
to
have
no
findings
and
keep
internal
control
strong.
So
just
continuing
that
going
forward
is
the
great
spot
to
be
in
all
right
next
slide.
O
Please,
and
now
reid
is
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
numbers
that
are
in
those
2020
statements.
I
Yup
good
evening,
everyone
this
slide.
We
just
wanted
to
hit
on
some
of
the
key
financial
highlights
from
the
past
year.
We
wanted
to
point
the
board's
attention
towards
the
management,
discussion
and
analysis
section
of
the
financial
statements,
really
that's
management's,
high
level
narrative
of
the
financial
results
and
to
talk
more
specifically
about
the
general
fund
financial
statements.
I
They
ended
the
year
with
a
total
fund
balance
of
145.2
million
as
you'll
see
a
couple
bullets
down.
That's
an
increase
in
fund
balance
of
40.4
million
from
last
year,
the
components
of
that
year-ending
fund
balance
being
within
the
non-spendable
category.
5.8
million
within
committed
41.9,
a
signed
fund,
balance
of
33.9
and
the
unassigned
fund
balance
of
63.6
million,
and
to
talk
specifically
about
the
general
fund
itself.
I
I
So
this
ultimately
was
a
large
factor
in
that
increase
in
fund
balance
of
about
40.4
million
as
compared
to
what
had
been
budgeted,
which
was
a
decrease
of
10.6
million,
and
then
obviously
further
detail
can
be
found
on
the
budget
to
actual
schedule
towards
the
end
of
the
financial
statements.
I
A
G
A
M
A
A
A
G
M
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
kindly
for
that
report
and
dr
frazier
duly
noted.
We
will,
but
we
are
to
to
not
to
overshadow
that.
But
we
are
definitely
elated
to
have
received
a
report
as
such,
and
I
can
remember
when
I
came
on
when
we
came
some
years.
A
Significant
findings
by
and
and
to
have
see
to
receive
a
report
tonight
as
such.
It's
definitely
a
milestone,
and
we
we
thank
you
so
much
for
for
the
work
that
you
and
your
staff
has
done.
Making.
A
Thank
you
for
the
report
cla.
I
believe
it
is,
and
mr
kennedy
is
anything
further.
No
all
right
hearing
now
we're
going
to
move
on
to
miss
waters.
F
Thank
you,
I'm
wanting
to
be
warning,
I'm
here
to
do
the
probably
comments
in
this
moment,
not
that
I
don't
want
to,
but
I'm
also
very
happy
to
say
that
most
of
what
was
what
was
received
in
her
public
comments
were
actually
addressed
during
this
meeting.
G
F
Got
comments
regarding
shared
future,
the
shared
future
project,
the
covet
numbers.
So,
of
course,
we
received
during
the
committee
of
the
whole
meeting
a
report
from
the
shared
futures
project,
and
then
we
also
got
the
covet
update.
F
We
also
got
some
questions
regarding
carolina,
voyager
and
and
the
early
dismissal
and
all
of
those
items
were
covered
between
either
the
committee
of
the
whole
or
this
current
meeting
so
very
happy
about
that
and
hope
that
the
public
feel
that
their
questions
were
answered
appropriately,
but
I
do
know
that
staff
is
working
to
address
those
questions.
F
Any
of
the
public
is
welcome
to
leave
comments
in
the
in
the
board
section
of
the
ccsc
website.
We
do
receive
them,
we
do
review
them,
and
people
who
submit
questions
are
being
responded
to.

They're

A
A
M
A
A
Okay
yeah
so.
A
So
there's
one
thing
and
the

has
already
covered
that,
so
the
superintendent
is

us
her
intent
by
december
1
according
to
contract
and
the
superintendent
did
that
back

So
that
has
been
satisfied.
So
yes,
you,
according
to
her
contract,
she
is
to
report
to
us
by
then
by
december
1,
and
she
has

october
26th.
B
Involved

the
contracts

we
weren't.

All

yes,
ma'am!
So
since
I
was
present
in
executive
session
as
well
as
the
superintendent
we
we,
we
are
aware
of
what
the
discussion
was
and
and
what
your
individual
requests
were,
and
we
will.
We
will
pull
that
together
to
take
action,
as
directed
by
you.
That's
great!
Thank
you.
Yes,
ma'am
all
right,

hearing,
no
more
further
discussion
of
declare.
