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,
I'm
Alice,
Paylor
and
with
me,
is
Margaret
Seymour
and
we've
been
asked
to
come,
give
an
orientation
on
parliamentary
procedures
and
running
board
meetings
and
that
type
of
thing,
because
I'm,
one
of
the
oldest
people
around
I,
thought
I,
would
just
start
out
and
give
you
a
little
history
of
Charleston
County,
School,
District,
Five
Minutes
worth
I
started
representing
the
district
in
82,
and
the
first
thing
that
we
had
to
do
was
defend
a
school
desegregation
case
and
that
arose
out
of
the
creation
of
the
district
in
1967
and
really
what
that
Case
established
was
the
Charleston
County
School
District
was
created
out
of
the
nine
former
districts
into
one,
and
the
purpose
of
that
creation
was
to
equalize
funding
throughout
the
district,
because
there
were
so
many
poor
areas
that
didn't
have
any
commercial
properties
and
real
properties
that
created
that.
A
So
that's
what
actually
happened
and
it
ended
up
creating
a
much
larger
district,
with
much
more
resources
to
provide
services
for
students.
So
I
did
want
to
remind
all
of
you
that
that
there
is
an
act,
it's
called
act,
3
40
of
1967.
and
that
governs
this
school
district.
It's
been
amended
numerous
times.
A
So
all
of
that
came
about
then
so
I
did
just
want
to
mention
that
so
you'd
know
that
if
anybody
ever
did
refer
to
act,
340,
that's
what
they're
talking
about,
because
it
does
create
this
board
and
it
creates
the
Charleston
County
School
District
as
a
body
politic
and
corporate,
which
means
that
the
district
itself
can
sue
and
be
sued.
It
is
a
legal
entity.
A
I
was
just
going
to
go
through
some
of
the
board
policies,
and
if
anybody
has
a
question
interrupt
me
and
then
I'm
going
to
have
my
friend
Margaret
Seymour
talk
about
Robert's
Rules
and
the
Parliamentary
procedure,
and
that
type
of
thing
and
I
will
tell
you
that
I
have
run
meetings
before
and
what
I
got.
Was
this
little
cheat
sheet?
I
know
we
all
when
you
went
to
school
and
you
wanted
to
get
the
skinny
you
bought.
A
One
of
these
so
I
bought
several
and
I
gave
one
to
the
chair
here
and
I'm
going
to
give
one
to
Ms
Watley
also,
so
she
has
one
since
she's
running
a
big
meeting
and
I
know
Miss
Bailey.
If
you
ever
have
to
step
into
the
chairs
roll
she'll,
either
lend
you
hers
or
I'll
get
you
one
too.
You
got
one
okay,
you're
smart!
You
already
got
it
all
right.
So
I've
talked
about
the
active
consolidation.
A
Not
all
of
title
59
applies
to
K
through
12
education,
but
there
are
certain
portions
and
I
will
tell
you
that
Article
19
of
title
59
sets
forth
statutes
that
apply
to
this
board.
So
that's
something
that
it
may
come
up
and
I
say
this
is
governed
by
5919,
whatever,
like
the
teach
and
and
under
other
ones,
are
like
the
teacher
employment.
A
Dismissal
Act
is
in
article
25
of
title
59,
but
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
know
what
those
are
I
just
wanted
you
to
be
aware
that,
in
addition
to
act,
340
title
59
is
going
to
have
a
lot
of
things
that
govern
the
duties
and
responsibilities
of
boards
of
Trustees
of
school
districts.
A
The
other
state
law
that
I
think
you
are
aware
of
is
foia
and
foia
is
something
that
we
all
have
to
be
aware
of.
A
It
means
that,
if
more,
if
a
majority
of
this
board
ever
meets,
that's
a
public
meeting
and
that
can
only
be
done
with
prior
notice-
and
that
has
to
be-
you
have
to
inform
the
public
of
that
and
that
law
sets
forth
how
that's
done,
and
these
two
wonderful,
ladies
up
here,
they
know
all
about
foia
and
they
make
sure
that
your
meetings
comply
with
that
and
I
know
last
summer
that
the
Attorney
General
sent
a
letter
to
this
board,
saying
that
he
had
been
made
aware
of
some
violations
of
foia
and
and
that
had
to
do
with
putting
items
on
the
agenda.
A
So
I
did
want
to
remind
you
of
that.
You
have
board
policies.
Those
are
the
B
policies
in
the
policy
manual
and
they
give
you
the
board's
purpose,
and
these
are
these
policies.
I
understand
were
created
with
the
help
of
the
South
Carolina
School
Board
Association.
A
Some
of
them
have
been
around
a
pretty
long
time
and
I
would
sit,
recommend
that
we
do
some
tweaking
of
these
and
I've
talked
to
Mr
Kelly
a
little
bit
about
about
that,
not
just
the
B
policies,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
them
that
probably
should
be
tweaked.
They've
been
they've,
been
in
a
policy
manual
since
the
early
2000s
a
lot
of
them
without
any
changes.
A
So,
as
we
know
everything
everything
changes
over
time
and
and
actually
that's
what
policy
ba
says,
the
board
will
regularly
and
systematically
monitor
all
policies
in
this
section
and
we'll
assess
the
quality
of
each
meeting
by
debriefing
following
its
conclusion.
A
Bba
gives
the
boards
powers
and
duties,
and
it
discusses
that
the
board
is
the
policy-making
body
of
the
district,
and
it
also
provides
that
there
is
an
executive
branch
in
that
executive
branch
is
our
superintendent
and
that's
the
person
that
the
board
appoints
as
the
executive
and
you
charge
that
person
with
and
hold
them
responsible
for
the
operation
and
management
of
the
district,
and
that's
the
person
who
the
board
should
go
to
if
they
have
concerns
the
board
is
also
can
be
a
quasi-judicial
entity,
because
you
might
have
hearings
that
come
to
you
under
certain
provisions
of
statutes.
A
People
get
hearings
in
front
of
you.
The
primary
ones
are
the
teacher
employment
dismissal
act
and
then
student
disciplinary
hearings
can
come
up
to
you
on
appeals
through
the
levels
and
at
that
point
you
you're,
basically
serving
as
a
judge
and
jury
in
a
quasi-judicial
role.
A
You
do
a
lot
of
things.
You
provide
Financial
Resources,
you
a
pray
appraise
and
approve.
What's
going
on
educational
planning
visits
to
schools
and
making
sure
that
if
you
need
information
that
is
provided
to
you,
policy
BC
sets
forth
the
meeting
protocol
and
this
primarily
deals
with
Civility
and
decorum
at
the
meeting
and
how
that's
to
be
addressed
and
handled,
and
that
everyone
is
acting
with
respect
and
because
courtesy
to
everyone
also
talks
about
use
of
electronic
devices.
A
So
you're
not
supposed
to
have
your
phones
going
off
that
type
of
thing
which
we
as
lawyers
understand,
because
the
judges
do
not
like
it.
If
your
phone
goes
off
when
you're
in
a
hearing
there's
a
code
of
ethics
for
board
members,
I
know
you
have
read
those,
and
you
understand
those
you
are
here
with
the
purpose
of
serving
the
students
and
the
teachers
and
the
whole
Community
here
to
make
sure
that
an
education
is
being
provided.
A
You're,
not
here
for
any
personal
gain
or
to
get
any
personal
benefit
for
any
of
your
friends
or
anyone
else.
So,
and
you
also
need
to
recognize
that
your
Authority
comes
about
from
board
meetings
when
the
board
makes
a
decision.
Individual
board
members
have
no
more
Authority
than
a
citizen
of
Charleston
walking.
Your
Authority
happens
when
you're
in
this
boardroom
and
that's
why
it's
so
important
for
you
to
be
prepared
when
you
come
in
and
for
you
to
always
keep
in
mind
the
best
interest
of
Charleston
County,
School
District
you
want
to.
A
You
want
to
maintain
a
good
relationship
with
the
superintendent
and
his
staff,
that's
very
important
to
making
sure
things
are
run
properly.
Conflict
of
interest
and
I
touched
on
that
a
few
minutes
ago.
If
something
comes
up
say
you
have
a
sister
who's,
a
teacher
and
something
comes
up.
You
want
to
make
sure
that
the
chair
knows
that
you
have
a
conflict
of
interest
and
you
are
recusing
yourself
from
voting
on
anything
with
regard
to
that.
So
those
things
can
happen
and
that's
why
we
have
this
conflict
of
interest.
A
If,
if
the
contracts
being
presented
that
you
have
a
relative
who's
going
to
benefit
from
I
said
all
the
time
you
would
want
to
say.
I
have
a
conflict
of
interest
and
I
cannot
vote
on
this,
and
there
are
forms
I,
think
that
are
used
to
make
sure
the
chair
knows
why
you
are
not
voting
and
that
type
of
thing
the
other.
The
other
thing
that's
very
important,
is
when
you
go
into
executive
session
and
you
receive
confidential
information.
A
B
A
What
what
items
should
be
executive
session?
Okay,
the
easy
one
is
If
you're
receiving
a
legal
briefing
because
all
matters
when
you're
getting
a
legal
briefing,
that's
covered
under
attorney-client
privilege.
So
it's
confidential
if
I'm,
the
one
giving
it
to
you.
I
can
I
tell
anybody.
You
know.
I
would
not
tell
anybody
except
people
and
the
need
to
know
as
far
as
if
it's
a
court
case
and
we're
trying
to
settle
something
that
type
of
thing
and
you
don't.
You
never
take
action
in
executive
session.
Everything
has
to
be
taken
in
public.
A
So
so
what
you
would
probably
do,
or
what
you
would
do
in
that
situation,
is
come
out
and
make
a
motion
to
approve
authority
to
general
counsel,
to
negotiate
a
settlement,
and
you
don't
put
the
amount
in
there,
but
we
we
will
understand
what
it
is,
because
you
don't.
You
also
don't
want
to
undermine
your
ability,
which
goes
to
which
goes
to
the
confidence
of
it,
because
you
shouldn't
tell
anybody
when
you
come
out
either.
A
So
it
kind
of
It
kind
of
goes
both
ways,
other
things
that
are
discussed
or
Personnel
issues
and
most
Personnel
matters
are
confidential
when
you're
talking
about
them
and
not
something
that
should
be
in
the
newspaper
or
discussed
in
public.
So
those
matters
might
come
to
you
during
that
time.
Also
contractual
and
I'll
give
you
as
another
example.
So
if
the
district
is
negotiating
to
buy
a
piece
of
property
or
to
sell
a
piece
of
property,
Mr
burrowi
might
come
in
and
ask
for
Authority
up
to.
A
You
know
to
do
those
negotiations.
So
that's
another
one,
that's
very
similar
to
what
I
was
talking
about
with
the
attorney
client.
But
you
don't
want
to
give
away
what
you're
going
to
do
in
that
type
of
thing.
So
I
think
those
are
things
that
would
normally
go
to
Executive
session,
also
anything
involving
a
juvenile.
A
Since
anybody
under
the
age
of
18
those
you
know
their
names
are
not
to
be
disclosed
in
the
public
session.
So
that's
another
thing
that
you
would
take
up.
So
when
you
take
up
student
disciplinary
matters,
for
example,
you
do
that
in
executive
session
and
when
you
come
out,
you
also
don't
use
the
name
of
the
student
when
you
make
your
motion,
so
it's
just
protecting
it's
protecting
things
that
to
which
you
have
a
right
to
privacy
and
other
people
have
a
right
to
privacy
on
that's
kind
of
the
how
he
gets
there.
C
A
B
A
You
can
caution
them
and
say
that
that
should
be
an
executive
session
item
and
if
you
know,
if
you
don't
have
it
on
there,
then
you
might
have
to
put
it
on
the
next
meeting.
I
know:
there's
also
a
board
policy
where
it
was
an
emergency,
then
I
think
two-thirds
vote
is
needed
to
add
it
to
the
agenda
and
you
know,
and
you
could
have
an
emergency
say
you
know
you
had
a
fire
somewhere
and
you
got
to
really
take
some
quick
action
and
you
want
to
negotiate
a
contract
or
something.
A
While
you
can
you've
got
committees
and
I
think
you
know
how
those
those
work
we
have.
The
committee
of
the
whole,
which
is
the
entire
board,
and
so
that's
also
always
cover
there.
These
are
always
covered
by
foia
and
it's
a
public
meeting
so
and
Margaret's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
those
when
she
gets
to
the
parliamentary
procedures,
because
it
is
the
only
action
can
be
taken
in
a
board
meeting.
A
Board
meetings,
they're
you're,
you
know
what
they
are.
You
understand
that
how
it
works
with
the
second
and
fourth
Mondays
of
the
month,
and
you
have
public
participation,
public
comment.
Everything
is
in
in
here
in
the
latest
edition
of
Robert's
Rules
of
orders,
which
is
not
a
law.
I
want
to
make
sure
you
understand
that
that's
not
a
law.
This
is
a
guide
to
help
meetings
run
smoothly.
A
So
it's
there's,
not
a
parliamentary
law.
It's
basically
a
guide.
We
talked
about
the
agenda
and
the
notice
and
the
policies
require
two
readings.
A
D
Right,
thank
you
good
afternoon.
Everybody,
a
lot
has
been
said
about
Robert's
Rules
of
Order,
and
it's
just
a
procedure
that
explains
the
general
parliamentary
procedures
and
a
parliamentarian
would
be
a
person
who's,
an
expert
in
interpreting
and
applying
the
Rules
of
Order,
but
the
parliamentarian.
If
in
a
meeting
does
not
rule
parliamentary
law
or
procedures
gives
to
the
chair,
the
the
power
to
rule
on
questions
of
order
and
on
proper
application
of
the
rules?
The
role
of
a
parliamentarian
in
a
meeting
is
purely
an
advisory
role
and
a
consultant
role.
D
D
You
can
compare
parliamentary
procedures
to
the
rules
of
the
road,
for
example,
when
everyone
knows
the
Parliamentary
rules,
meetings
run
more
smoothly
and
there
are
no
head-on
collisions
as
ever.
If
everybody's,
on
the
same
page
with
regard
to
the
rules
and
collisions,
can
be
prevented
if
you
follow
the
rules,
so
what
is
it?
And
why
do
we
need
them?
And
why
do
we
want
to
follow
these
rules?
It
would
enable
an
organization
to
take
care
of
business
in
an
efficient
manner,
and
it
helps
the
organization
maintain
order.
D
D
If
you
follow
these
rules,
it
promotes
courtesy,
it
promotes
Justice
and
it
promotes
impartiality
and
ensures
that
the
rule
of
the
majority,
while
it
also
protects
the
minority
and
any
absent
members
that
may
not
be
at
the
meeting
and
there's
some
basic
principles
with
regard
to
the
Parliamentary
rules,
as
I
said
before,
it
allows
the
organization
to
take
up
one
item
at
a
time.
Each
meeting
would
follow
an
order
or
an
agenda,
and
only
one
motion
can
be
pending
at
a
time.
D
D
In
doing
so,
the
chair
will
call
the
meeting
the
members
will
take
their
seats
promptly.
There's
no
cross
talk
and
a
debate.
The
discussions
are
kept
to
the
issues
at
hand
and
not
to
personalities.
Members
listen
while
other
members
are
speaking
and
members
have
the
most
the
right
to
make
a
motion
and
to
vote.
D
It
also
protects
the
rule
of
the
majority
and
protects
the
minority
and
that
members
have
the
right
to
have
notice
of
all
meetings.
Members
have
the
right
to
know
by
previous
notice
when
there
is
a
proposal
to
rescind
or
amend
something
that's
previously
adopted
and
also
when
members
rights
are
taken
away.
Two-Thirds
of
the
membership
must
approve
that,
and
members
have
a
right
to
be
informed
of
the
work
of
the
organization.
D
In
this
we
have
a
in
this
organization.
We
have
the
committee
of
a
whole
and
that
enables
the
full
board
to
give
detailed
consideration
to
a
to
to
a
matter
when
it
goes
into
discussed
by
the
committee
as
a
whole.
D
Any
action
by
the
committee
of
a
whole
as
a
whole
are
not
decisions
of
the
board
and
our
recommendations
of
that
committee
to
the
whole
board
boats
taken
are
not
final
decisions,
their
recommendations
and
which
the
board
is
given
the
opportunity
to
consider
and
vote
on
when
the
committee
as
a
whole
votes
members
cannot
reconsider
the
issues
voted
on,
because
the
votes
of
the
committee
of
a
whole
as
a
whole
are
not
binding.
It
is
only
a
recommendation
on
which
the
board
will
vote
later.
D
D
The
agenda
of
the
board
must
be
in
compliance
with
foia
and
the
superintendent
prepares.
The
agenda
for
the
board
meeting
and
items
for
the
board
meeting
agenda
will
ordinarily
come
from
the
committee
as
a
whole,
if
requested
by
a
committee
or
any
for
board.
Members
and
agenda
items
shall
be
placed
on
the
agenda
and
the
item
must
be
identified
and
described
on
a
board.
Action
item
form
and
the
form
must
be
turned
in
before
the
deadline
for
submission
of
these
items,
and
the
item
must
be
accompanied
by
the
appropriate
backup
materials
agenda.
D
Items
for
which
supporting
materials
have
not
been
received
in
a
timely
manner
shall
be
deferred
to
the
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting
and
once
an
agenda
item
is
posted,
no
items
may
be
added
to
the
agenda
unless
it
is
done
at
least
24
hours
prior
to
the
meeting
and
proper
notice
is
given
at
the
point.
The
meeting
has
been
called
to
order.
An
item
may
only
be
added
to
the
agenda
by
two-thirds
vote
and
Upon
A
finding
by
the
body
that
an
emergency
will
occur.
D
If
the
item
is
not
added
to
the
agenda
with
regard
to
notice,
when
notice
is
required
to
be
sent
unless
a
different
standard
is
specified,
it
can
be
sent
by
postal
mail
or
by
electronic
communication.
D
Alice
has
already
gone
on
gone
over
the
ethics
and
policy
with
regard
to
conflict
of
interest
for
the
board
and
that
any
questions
with
regard
to
the
parliamentary
procedures.
E
A
No
requirement
of
that
and
there's
no
parliamentary
law
and
the
truth
of
the
matter.
If
you
got
this
and
you
got
a
chance
to
look
at,
you
know
when
something
comes
up,
that's
a
question:
it'll
it'll
be
answerable
in
Robert's
Rules.
Now
the
chair
may
not
have
a
chance
to
look
and
she
might
want
to
ask
us-
and
we
will
always
have
the
book
The
book's
about
that
thick-
that
we
can.
C
A
At
if,
if
it's
not
covered
in
this
but
and
I
I
was
telling
you
I've
run
meetings
before
I
was
chair
of
the
House
of
delegates
for
the
South
Carolina
bar
and
I
had
250
lawyers,
making
motions
and
getting
up
and
doing
stuff,
and
they
all
thought
they
knew
everything.
Okay,
so
I
had
to
I
had
to
call,
and
the
chair
actually
makes
a
ruling
and
then,
if,
if
somebody
thinks
it
was
the
wrong
ruling,
they
can
challenge
it.
A
Okay
and
there's
a
procedure
for
doing
that,
but
to
move
things
along
and
that's
why
it's
really
the
chair's
prerogative
to
make
the
ruling
on
what?
What's
before
so
like
it's
I
mean
most
of
the
stuff
is
pretty
simple.
If
somebody
makes
a
motion,
it's
got
to
be
seconded
by
somebody
before
discussion
unless
it
comes
from
a
committee,
so
you
know
a
lot
of
those
things
and
then
you
don't
get
a
lot
of
the
stuff
at
a
small
level
like
this,
where
somebody
wants
to
table
something.
A
But
but
there
is
a
procedure,
that's
pretty
simple,
so
a
motion
to
table.
They
rank
the
Motions
that
you
that
you
rule
on
in
the
order
in
a
certain
order.
Some
motions
take
priority
over
others,
so
you
would
take
those
first
and
then
go
through
I
think
a
motion
to
table
you
have
to
take
first.
If
that
comes
up,
because
that
ends
all
discussion
and
it's
you
know
done
so,
there's
no
reason
for
you
to
discuss
everything
if
you're
going
to
table
it,
but
but.
C
A
I,
it's
not
there's
no
parliamentary
law,
there's
no
requirement
that
a
parliamentarian
be
a
lawyer.
There
are
plenty
of
lay
people
who
are
not
lawyers
who
train
themselves
in
part
being
a
parliamentarian
and
and
they
sell
their
services
so
but
I
think
on
the
level
that
you
all
are
with
nine
members,
you
only
got
eight
now,
then
you
know,
you've
got
a
very
capable
chair
and
vice
chair,
and
you
know
we
can
figure
out
what
what's
going.
I,
don't
think
it's.
A
F
Gonna
be
fine,
I
disagree
with.
Is
that
I?
Don't
think
that
parliamentarian
procedures
is
about
acting
alone
and
how
to
conduct
yourself?
It's
about
order
and
I'm
gonna
just
go
back
to
the
last
meeting
and
then
I
want
to
go
back
to
address
the
reason
you
had
a
parliamentarian
before
whether
it
was
the
board
that
didn't
get
along
I.
Don't
know
any
of
those
things
to
be
true.
F
F
So
if
I
was
misinformed
from
email,
I
think
that
needs
to
be
corrected,
but
for
me,
I
think
it
is
necessary
to
have
a
parliamentary
I
think
that
we
are
all
professionals
and
we
know
how
to
conduct
and
ourselves
in
a
business
meeting.
But
it's
more
for
order.
I.
Think
the
last
meeting
when
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
decide
if
we
should
move
on
if
it
was
time
for
a
vote
or
if
it
was
just
a
recommendation
for
discussion.
F
That
was
very
embarrassing,
so
it
had
to
me
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
whether
we
are
behaving,
but
it
has
to
do
with
the
flow
of
the
meeting
and
so
whether
it's
an
attorney
or
whether
it's
just
a
member
of
this
board
that
is
designated
the
parliamentarian
to
make
sure
everything
is
Flowing.
It's
important
to
me
for
that
reason,
and
I
don't
want
it
to
be
marginalized,
that
you
know
the
the
matter
of
the
business
and
the
size
of
the
boards.
F
A
F
Yeah
there's
my
understanding
that
the
parliamentarian,
the
previous
parliamentarian,
was
a
request
of
the
former
chair
based
on
a
Clemson
equity
and
inclusion
study
that
was
made
now.
Let
me
just
say
that
it
doesn't
matter
to
me
whether
or
not
it's
an
attorney
or
we
don't
have
one
I'm,
just
an
orderly
person
and
I'm.
Just
asking
for
clarification.
Did
the
parliamentarian
come
out
of
an
equity
and
inclusion.
C
Study
yeah,
so
I
I,
don't
know
I'm
trying
I'm
going
through
my
emails
now
to
see.
I
did
brief
the
school
board
that
my
research
I
discovered
that
on
the
board
chair
running
Mack
as
the
superintendent
doctor
supposed
to
wait
to
acquire
a
parliament
area
and
that's
what
that's
what
she
did
so
it
was.
It
was
not
a
vote
by
the
school
board
and
with
a
request
or
instruction
from
board
chair
to
the
to
the
superintendent
I.
Don't
I,
don't
know
why
he
did
that
and
it
may
be
an
email
and
I'll.
C
Look
that
in
fact,
the
first
time
the
first
time
I
saw
the
parliamentarian
was
was
not
at
the
sport
meeting.
It
was
at
the
d23
ad23
board
meeting
that
he
was
requested
to
attend
and
that
was
sometime
I
think
slightly
before
the
pandemic
started.
I
noticed
in-person
meeting.
F
C
F
C
We
have,
we
have
not
engaged
with
that
study
for
quite
some
time.
C
This
study,
I,
think
was
issued
in
I
think
it
was
in
the
winter
of
2019.
C
It
was
it
was
the
presentation
made
to
the
school
board
here
in
a
board
meeting
in
20
thanks
to
2019.
I
I,
don't
recall
in
the
last
time
the
board
actually
engaged
with
that.
That
study.
F
C
I'm,
saying
is
that
the
study
was
presented
to
the
school
board.
The
school
board
took
certain
actions,
I
don't
mean
off
top
of
my
head
I,
don't
remember
what
those
actions
are
right
now
and
the
study
has
not
been
has
not
been
participated
in
the
district
has
not
participated
in
the
study
or
the
recommendations
of
study.
Of
course,
sometimes
I
mean
so
I
mean
in
in
my
in
my
personal
history
here
in
the
in
the
district.
Why?
C
It's
not
as
long
as
Miss
Taylor
I
mean
there's
been
a
number
of
studies
that
have
been
issued
and
we've
taken
actions
on
some
of
the
recommendations
coming
out
of
those
studies,
but
we
don't
keep
the
study,
so
you
know
alive
for
indefinitely.
F
C
So
so
the
study
the
study
was
done
because
of
a
lack
of
academic
achievement
by
minority
students
in
the
district
for
over
a
long
period
of
time.
That
was
the
that
was
the
impetus
for
the
for
the
study,
and
so
there
again
there
were
a
set
of
recommendations
that
came
out
of
that
study
and
in
in
an
email
that
I
saw.
One
of
those
recommendations
about
the
board
chair
was
to
hire
a
parliamentarian
again.
That
was
not
a
based
on
what
what
my
research
shows.
That
was
not
a
board
action.
C
A
G
Yeah
I
have
a
question.
Could
you
also
go
through
like
when
there's
emotion
that
you
talked
about
the
motion
at
the
table?
But
what
about
the
motion
when
somebody
wants
to
make
a
friendly
Amendment?
That's
what
it
seems
like
it
gets
a
little
confusing
to
me.
A
So
that's
when
I
would
advise
looking
at
this
sheet
very
closely
because
it
tells
you
exactly
how
to
handle
that
and
and
I
can
I
had
that
happen
to
me
numerous
times
when
I
was
doing
that
and
you
just
kind
of
have
you
have
to
keep
a
list
of
what
motions
are
are
pending
and
then
they
they
prioritize
the
Motions.
So.
A
A
G
I
just
think
like
we
need
to
know
too,
because
if
we
want,
if
we're,
if
what
there's
a
motion-
and
we
want
to
make
an
amendment-
then
we
need,
as
other
board
members
to
know
the
proper
way
to
make
an
amendment.
And
then,
if
we
want
to
make
a
friendly
Amendment,
then
we
need
to
know
that
because
it's
like,
we
don't
want
it
at
least
I,
don't
want
to
be
out
of
order
because
I
don't
know
the
proper
procedure
to
do
that.
So
that's
why
I'm
asking
the
question.
Would
it
appreciate
clarification.
A
Well,
every
board
member
is
given
an
opportunity
to
speak
on
every
on
every
motion.
So
you
met
you.
If
you
want
to
amend
it,
you
would
make
a
motion
to
amend
and
you
would
of
course
give
the
language
that
you
want
to
insert
and
where
you
want
it
inserted,
and
that's
the
the
importance
of
having
the
agenda
ahead
of
time.
So
you
can
do
that
and
you
can
make
that
motion
and
you
also
need
a
second.
A
A
You
know
that
language
to
like
change
a
word
or
two
or
whatever,
so
it
can
keep
going
for
a
while,
especially
if
something
is
very
contentious
or
you
just
want
to
get
the
language
right,
because
it
is
important
in
policies
to
get
the
language
right,
because
that's
going
to
be
governing
your
procedures
in
the
future
so
did
I
help.
Did
that
help?
Are
you.
G
Still
that
helps
but
I
think
it's.
What
happens
is
that
if
we
get
in
that
situation,
where
somebody
we're
having
discussion
and
want
to
amend
it,
then
they
want
to
change
the
word
that
that's
when
it
starts
to
look
like
the
board
doesn't
know
what
it's
doing,
and
you
know
the
public
may
not
understand
that.
G
A
Well
and
I
think
that
that's
the
importance
of
having
the
committee
as
a
whole
also
because
that's
when
you
talk
through
because
policies
should
be
brought
there
first
and
at
that
point,
that's
when
you're
really
discussing
because
you're
not
making
motions
and
you're
not
taking
action
on
them.
So
you
can
talk
through
things
and
make
recommendations
to
whoever
the
author
is
or
you
can
go
ahead
and
say.
A
You
know:
I
recommend
that
we
change
it
to
read
this
and
then
you
and
you
make
your
notes
to
that
and
because
a
lot
of
it
is
going
to
be
negotiations
with
the
other
board
members
and
you
might
even
want
to
talk
to
them
in
between
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
the
and
the
actual
board
meeting
when
things
are
going
to
come
up.
A
But
I,
don't
think
you
might
feel
like
you
look
like
you're
con
is
confusing,
but
that's
the
way
meetings
are,
and
you
know
if
you
are
thinking
about
what
what
you
want
to
say
you
want
to
you,
want
to
get
it
like.
You
want
it
and
that's
why
you
have
the
extra
opportunity
of
the
committee
of
the
whole
to
kind
of
talk
it
through
at
that
point,
and
then
you
know
you
can
work
on
exactly
what
you
want
when
you
get,
if
it,
if
it
gets
recommended
out,
then
you
can
you
be.
A
You
can
be
ready
to
have
your
motion
to
a
man
or
you
can
make
a
right.
You
know,
because
that
at
that
meeting,
you're
really
not
gonna
amend
it,
because
that's
you
can't
make
a
motion
and
take
action,
but
you
can
also
get
your
arguments
out
there
or
you
know
where
you
stand
and
why
you
want
you
think
it
should
be
different
and
start
thinking
about.
A
You
know
getting
your
votes
lined
up
for
what
you
want,
which
is
you
know
what
we're
seeing
going
on
in
the
grand
scale
in
Congress
right
now
they
can't
get
their
votes
lined
up.
So
so
that's
that's
a
big
part
of
it,
but
I
think
with
with
the
having
that
the
cow
meeting
is
a
great
place
to
kind
of
work
through
okay.
Somebody
says
it
needs
to
be
changed.
A
G
Then
that's
why
I
have
a
question
so
out
of
the
committee
of
the
whole,
we
we
bring
agenda
items
to
the
committee
of
the
whole
and
then
how
how
is
how
are
those
items
then
recommended
to
be
on
the
board
agenda?
Is
that
sounds
like
a
vote
to
me.
D
It's
a
vote,
but
it's
not
action.
A
D
Not
an
action.
The
chair
of
the
committee
of
the
whole,
the
committee
as
a
whole,
will
vote
to
put
certain
things
on
the
gin
and
the
chair
presents
those
to
the
chair
of
the
committee
as
of
a
whole,
presents
those
to
the
chair
of
the
board
as
the
items
to
be
included
on
the
agenda.
But
the
committee
as
a
whole
is
where
you
discuss
it,
and
you
have
latitude
to
go
back
and
forth
and
exchange
ideas
about
what
the
issues
are,
for
example,
with
emotion.
A
A
You
know,
and
you
make
a
motion
to
a
man
to
change
the
word
v
to
a
and
you
get
a
second
and
you
get
a
majority
vote,
then
that's
the
one
that
will
go
so
as
the
recommendation
now
that
doesn't
mean
that
somebody's
not
going
to
come
in
when
it
gets
to
the
board
and
say
you
know,
I
moved
or
we
move
it
back
to
V
rather
than
a
so,
but
but
you
can
at
least
kind
of
figure
out
where
you're
going
and
it.
A
This
is
also
where
the
majority
rules
and
if
the
majority
expresses
where
they
are
with
something
that's
kind
of
the
civility
part
of
it
too.
Where
you
don't
keep
pounding
that
okay
I'm
the
only
one
but
I'm
right.
Okay,
it's
majority
room.
So
you
got
to
remember
that
too.
But
these
are
all
good
questions
and
that
and
to
try
to
clarify
I.
B
A
This
is
going
to
be
a
learning
process
for
y'all
and
it
would
be
for
anybody
who
steps
up
and
runs
for
public
office,
because
basically
every
public
officer
is
like
city
council.
They
got
the
same
issues
that
y'all
have
County
Council,
the
House
of
Representatives.
F
It
allows
the
public
an
opportunity
to
hear
it
as
well,
and
they
can
chime
in
to
their
respective
board
member
to
give
feedback
before
if
it
does
make
the
board
agenda
to
give
their
feedback
so
that
it
is
necessary.
A
I
no
I
agree
with
you,
I
think.
That's
the
that's
the
part
of
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
so
that
the
public
knows
what
you're
voting
on.
What's
going
on
and
and
the
fact
that
you
actually
deliberated
on
it,
so
I
mean
there's
nothing
worse
than
somebody
coming
in
and
somebody
just
says:
move
we
approve
unless
it's
a
real,
simple
thing.
A
So
I
think
that
the-
and
there
will
be
simple
things
luckily,
but
but
I
think
whenever
you're
dealing
with
a
policy
change,
for
example,
I
think
that's
very
serious
and
I
think
it's
something
that
you
need
to
consider
and
you
know
get
input
from
everybody
on.
C
So
I
pulled
out
the
Clemson
study,
so
let
me
just
see
what
it
says:
okay,
so
we
can
have
Clarity
on
that.
C
There's
a
section
in
here
on
on
a
parliamentarian,
so
I'm
gonna
do
two
two
things:
I'm
gonna
read
a
couple
parts
of
the
couple
sentences
rather
other
prologue
and
say
where,
where
it
was
why
the
study
was
done
so,
first
of
all,
the
Charleston
County
School
District,
false
excuse
me
fails
nearly
half
of
his
students.
Those
students
who,
already
at
our
above
great
great
level,
are
well
served
by
the
district.
Those
students
who
are
not
are
not,
in
fact
the
districts.
C
C
Make
School
District
governance
more
efficient,
accountable
and
credible,
and
in
there
it
does
have
a
a
recommendation
that
a
number
of
recommendations
designate
a
parliamentarian
to
oversee
procedures
and
conduct
that
board
meetings
in
accordance
with
board
rules.
So
it
says,
designate
a
parliamentarian
now,
so
that
is
in
the
in
the
report.
The
board
that
my
my
I
went
back
and
took
a
look.
The
board
didn't
vote
on
that.
That
would
say
direction
from
this
board
chair
to
the
superintendent.
A
Just
wanted
to
Broad
last
piece
of
information
that
you
haven't
asked
but
I
think
it's
important
that
you
know
about
as
a
board
member.
You
have
insurance,
so
you
know
everyone
as
we
know,
if
you're
a
public
figure,
you
could
be
open
to
any
kind
of
lawsuit
or
legal
activity,
and
so
the
school
district
has
insurance
through
the
school
board's,
Insurance
trust
and
that
protects
as
long
as
you're,
acting
within
the
scope
of
your
position,
you're
protected.
A
Now
that
doesn't
mean
you
can
come
in
here
and
bring
a
gun
and
shoot
somebody
you're
not
protected
for
that.
So
you
have
to
be
acting
within
the
scope
of
your
position
and
that
type
of
thing,
but
you
do
have
nobody,
would
run
for
public
office.
Otherwise
so,
but
you
do
have
that
so
I
wanted
you
to
to
feel
somewhat
comfortable
about
that.
A
So
anything
else
that
you
can
think
of
that
we
can
clarify
for
you.
