G
J
J
K
That's
a
term
that
I
started
using
I
think
about
two
weeks
ago.
It
was
addressed
into
a
team
here
in
the
district
of
Staff
people
that
have
been
working
on
doing
some
extraordinary
work
and
and
as
I
thought
about
this
a
few
minutes
ago.
It's
appropriate
and
that
term
was.
K
It
has
been
an
honor
to
labor
with
you
all,
especially
in
the
last
10
months,
in
the
work
that
you
all
have
done
on
getting
to
the
board
goals
and
the
board
guard
rails
to
position
the
district
for
some
great
things.
So
the
four
years
before
that
as
the
finance
person
working
with
those
of
you
all
that
were
on
the
finance
and
led
the
finance
department.
So
thank
you
all
very
much
for
your
support
over
the
years
and
again
over
the
last
10
months.
K
This
this
is,
is
almost
emotional
for
me
of
what
I've
gone
through
with
you
all
because
of
what
I
want
to
see
what
you
know
what
happens
in
the
district
and
it's
actually
a
a
a
continuation
of
my
mother's
Vision
here
in
the
state
of
South
Carolina
man
that
make
sure
that
all
kids
are
educated.
So
thank
y'all
very
much
for
that.
For
that.
A
F
Just
just
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
acknowledge
all
of
my
fellow
board
members
and
colleagues
that
have
served
with
for
the
past
several
years
and
to
thank
everyone
for
their
dedication,
the
time
and
the
role
that
they
play
in
making
timely
decisions
for
the
students
in
the
school
district.
Thank
you
for
everyone
that
that
shared
different
subcommittees
that
guided
in
various
areas.
F
Everyone

an
excellent

the

of
the

we
have

those

have
work
in
various
areas

help
assist
us
in
making
decisions
as
best

students.
F
Thank

for
everything
that
they
have
done
in
helping
to
guide
us
into
this
next
phase
into
this
next
chapter
and
changing
what's
possible
and
within

F
In

different
departments,
I
don't
want
to
begin
calling
names
that
I
don't
want
to
miss
anyone,
but
you
all
played
a
very
biblical
role
in
helping
this
Board

Trustees
make
decisions.
That's
best
for
students.
I
do

an
issue

the
entire

and
we
have

latched
on
to
that.
But
thank
you
for
the
great
work
that
you're
doing
and
to
all
of
the
others.
I
don't
want
to
keep
calling
names,
because
I
I
may
get
choked
up
just
a
mere
fact
that
I'm
I'm

I
just
want

F
Thank

Thank

F
You

and
making
sure
that
that
we
are
are
making
the
correct

moving
policies
when
moving
agenda
items
when
making
sure
that
we're
emotions
and
our
actions
are
correct
with
in
mind.
Thank

so
much
for
that
and
again
again,
thank
you
to
everyone
for
allowing
me
to
serve
as
your
board

last

A
Thank

Thank

D

I

in-person
public

We
did
receive
two
online
submissions
regarding
inclement,
weather
and
I.
Guess
a
question
around
policy
jka.
A
All
right,
but
all
the
board
members
have
received
those
too,
so
you
can
feel
free
to
review
them
auditing.
Finance
item
8A,
the
screen.
J
H
Ma'am,
thank
you
Miss
green,
so
the
district
underwent
a
payroll
and
HR
audit
for
the
fiscal
year.
2022
our
external
Auditors
are
here
Elliott,
Davis
and
they'll
be
reviewing
the
audit
results
once
they
conclude,
we'll
talk
about
the
corrective
action
plans
and
where
we
are
as
a
district
foreign.
I
I
Well,
I
appreciate
you
all
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
discuss
the
results
of
the
payroll
and
Human
Resources
internal
audit.
I
I
So
I
want
to
briefly
go
over
kind
of
the
scope
of
what
we
reviewed
during
this
project,
we'll
discuss
the
process
for
that
review
and
then
a
high
level
summary
of
what
we
found
so
to
begin.
The
the
scope
as
mentioned
was
primarily
payroll
and
HR
functions
and
that
the
review
period
was
for
calendar
year
2021.
I
So
these
are
just
a
few
of
the
areas
that
were
included
within
the
scope
of
the
review
and
kind
of
to
discuss
the
process
of
that
review.
I
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
are
part
of
the
are
operating
as
internal
audit,
so
our
goal
is
to
hopefully
detect
potential
issues
or
inefficiencies
prior
to
an
external
auditor
operating
in
tandem
with
management
to
hopefully
detect
some
issues
before
that.
So
our
initial
process
is
to
identify
what
the
areas
for
review
are,
in
this
case
in
2019,
I,
believe
or
leading
into
2020
We
performed
a
risk
assessment
for
CCSD
and
outlined
a
three-year
internal
audit
plan.
I
We
have
performed
a
few
of
those
internal
audits
thus
far,
and
for
this
year,
payroll
and
HR
were
one
of
the
key
audit
areas
that
fell
into
the
schedule
for
this
year.
So
that's
how
this
area
was
identified.
I
I
From
there
we
Dove
deeper
to
those
processes
and
did
what
we
call
detail
testing
to
determine
if
things
are
operating
the
way
they
should
based
on
those
District
policies,
best
practices,
Etc
and
upon
completion
of
that
testing.
We
issue
a
summary
report
that
is
intended
primarily
for
internal
management
to
identify
those
areas
that
could
use
additional
attention
or
corrective
action
plans,
and
we've
worked
closely
with
management
to
assist
with
those
remediation
efforts
and
provide
oversight
for
the
corrective
action
plans
that
were
in
place.
I
So
the
results
of
this
audit
again
there
are
more
details
that
can
be
provided
in
the
full
report
to
internal
management,
internal
management
which
can
be
shared
if
you
request
that,
but
overall
the
rating
we
have
here
satisfactory
with
recommendation.
I
That's
our
category
for
what
is
defined
as
not
revealing
in,
in
our
judgment,
any
significant
deficiencies
in
the
design
or
operation
of
the
internal
control
structure.
I
No
significant
lacks
of
compliance
with
internal
District
policies
or
any
process
item
or
element
requiring
a
significant
adjustment,
and
while
internal
controls
appear
to
be
sufficient
to
minimize
risk,
like
this
category
includes
recommendations
to
strengthen
controls
already
in
place.
So
essentially
no
material
issues
noted.
However,
there
are
some
observations
and
recommendations
that
we
made,
which
are
listed
here,
including
observations
and
recommendations
for
the
terminated
employee,
off-boarding
process
and
the
timeliness
of
that
process.
I
And
finally,
as
we
noted
before,
we
worked
closely
with
District
district
Personnel
to
establish
and
monitor
the
execution
of
the
corrective
action
plans.
Those
have
already
been
underway
and
I
believe
most
of
them
are
either
completed
or
are
in
the
final
stages.
So
I
can
let
the
appropriate
folks
talk
to
that.
But
those
are
essentially
the
results
of
this
audit
and
we
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
feedback
that
you'll
have
at
this
time.
A
H
Thank
you
Miss
Waters,
so
the
next
audit
we
have
is.
We
have
Emily
here
our
external
auditor,
from
Green
Finney,
who
did
the
FY
22
Financial
audit.
This
is
an
audit
of
our
entire
Financial
condition
and
Outlook
and
all
of
our
transaction
history,
so
Emily
will
provide
the
results.
I'm
very
proud
of
this
audit
I'm
going
to
just
do
drop
that
right.
There
Emily.
L
Yes,
we
should,
we
should
all
be
very
proud
of
this
audit.
The
district
has
performed
very
well
as
I
will
go
through.
Let
me
share
my
screen.
L
So
again,
I'm
Emily
SOB
check
I'm
with
greenfini,
collie
and
I
oversaw
the
financial
statement.
Audit
for
the
district
for
the
year
ended
June
30th
2022..
L
L
It's
very
important
that
you
are
performing
regular
reviews
of
your
policies
and
procedures
to
ensure
that
they're
best
addressing
the
risks
that
you're
facing
and
that
will
allow
you
to
mitigate
the
risk
of
misstatement
in
your
financial
information,
and
that,
of
course,
is
important
not
only
at
your
end
for
audit
purposes,
but
also
as
you're
receiving
information
throughout
the
year
and
making
strategic
decisions.
On
behalf
of
the
district,
it's
important
that
you
can
rely
on
that
information.
L
So
our
responsibility
as
your
auditor
is
to
audit
the
financial
information
provided
and
issue
an
opinion
based
on
our
audit.
We
are
issuing
an
unmodified
opinion
again
this
year.
That
opinion
provides
reasonable,
reasonable
assurance
that
the
financial
statements
are
materially
correct.
So
it
is
important
to
remember
that
a
financial
statement
audit
does
not
involve
us
looking
at
every
single
transaction
that
occurred
during
the
year,
rather
we're
using
some
professional
judgment
and
considering
materiality
as
we
plan
our
procedures.
L
So
looking
at
your
general
fund
results,
your
total
fund
balance
in
the
general
fund
increased
by
13.7
million,
bringing
total
fund
balance
to
159
million
as
of
June
30th
included
in
that
fund
balance
is
7,
7.2
million
that's
classified
as
non-spendable.
That
primarily
includes
prepaid
insurance
premiums.
So
the
the
funds
have
already
left
the
district,
but
they
are
for
expenses
that
will
be
recognized
in
fiscal
23..
L
You
then
have
committed
fund
balance
of
72.8
million.
This
is
based
on
the
board
policy
to
commit
funds
as
your
operating
reserves
so
for
future
needs.
You
then
have
a
signed
fund
balance
of
41.6
million.
This
is
also
assigned
by
the
board,
and
that
includes
amounts
that
are
included
in
the
fiscal
23
budget
Appropriations,
as
well
as
additional
funding
that
you've
elected
to
set
aside
for
the
SR
stabilization
and
sustainability.
L
Looking
at
your
unassigned
fund
balance,
that
was
37.4
million
as
of
June
30th.
That
represents
six
percent
of
your
2022
actual
expenditures,
so
that
is
in
compliance
with
with
your
board
policy,
which
states
that
you
should
have
at
least
one
half
month
of
operating
expenditures
included
in
your
unassigned
fund
balance.
And
that's
in
addition
to
the
one
and
a
half
months
that
are
in
your
committed
fund
balance.
L
A
number
of
different
reasons
why
it
is
important
to
maintain
a
healthy
fund
balance,
one
significant
reason,
which
is
especially
important
now
as
you're
receiving
the
additional
Sr
funding,
and
you
know
creating
some
new
programs
that
you
may
want
to
continue
after
that
funding
runs
out
having
a
healthy
general
fund
fund
balance
allows
you
to
maintain
some
of
those
Services
as
you
identify
new
funding
sources
to
fund
them.
You
also
need
fund
balance
to
help
you
with
your
cash
flows.
As
you
know,
your
property.
L
So
let's
look
at
your
general
fund
revenues:
revenues
for
588.5
million
for
fiscal
22..
Again,
of
course
the
bulk
is
in
property
taxes
and
state
revenues.
That
was
an
increase
of
six
percent
from
the
prior
year
and
that
increase
is
primarily
related
to
increased
assessed
values
which
led
to
increased
property
tax
revenues.
You
also
came
in
about
two
percent
better
than
budget
and
the
general
fund
reports,
transfers
in
which
is
another
financing
source
of
17.8
million,
including
eia
funding
of
12.4
million
and
special
revenue
and
Food
Service,
indirect
costs
of
5.4
million.
L
On
the
expenditure
side,
we
had
expenditures
of
591.5
million
for
the
year.
That
was
a
three
percent
increase
from
the
prior
Year,
and
that
increase
is
primarily
in
your
salaries
and
benefits.
Personnel
costs,
of
course,
make
up
the
vast
majority
of
your
budget,
and
so
that's
typically,
where
any
significant
swings
are
going
are
going
to
be.
L
Your
expenditures
were
four
percent
below
the
budgeted
expenditures
for
the
year
now.
If
we
look
at
all
of
your
governmental
funds
combined,
so
your
general
fund,
plus
your
special
revenue
and
eia
funds,
Food
Service,
Debt,
Service
and
capital
projects,
you're
looking
at
total
revenues
and
net
other
financing
sources
for
the
District
of
just
over
a
billion
dollars
and
expense
expenditures.
L
Just
under
that,
so
that's
a
lot
to
keep
up
with,
and
you
do
rely
on
your
Finance
team
to
do
that
and
as
we'll
talk
about
in
just
a
few
minutes,
they're
really
doing
an
excellent
job.
But
first,
let's
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
other
items
that
are
included
in
your
report.
L
As
we
talked
about
in
the
past
you're
continuing
to
report,
your
net
pension
and
net
opeb
liabilities
remember
these
are
your
proportionate
share
of
the
unfunded,
Actuarial
liabilities
of
the
state
retirement
system
and
the
state
retiree
health
care
plan.
So
it's
important
to
remember
that
these
are
not
direct
liabilities
of
the
district,
and
so
they
aren't
liabilities
that
you're
going
to
be
expected
to
write
a
check
to
pay
off
the
liabilities
have
no
direct
impact
on
your
cash
flows.
Nor
are
they
reflected
in
your
fund
level
statements.
L
The
reason
they're
important,
though,
is
because
what
what
does
affect
your
operating
budget
and
your
cash
flows
is
the
employer
contributions
that
you're
required
to
make
at
the
state
mandated
levels
those
rates
have
been
increasing
over
several
years
now
you
had
a
rate
of
16
and
a
half
percent
for
the
state
retirement
system
for
fiscal
22.
L
L
But
as
I'm
sure
you
know,
those
one
percent
increases
have
a
significant
effect
on
your
budget,
and
so
it
is
important
that
you
are
considering
those
as
you're
looking
to
the
Future
and
seeing
what
impact
those
will
have
for
future
years.
L
The
retiree
I'm.
Sorry,
the
employer
contribution
rate
for
the
retiree
health
care
plan
is
six
and
a
quarter
percent.
It
has
remained
at
that
same
level
for
fiscal
23,
but
future
increases
should
be
anticipated.
L
Let's
look
at
your
Capital
assets.
You
had
total
Capital
assets
of
1.7
billion
for
the
year.
That
was
an
increase
of
3.1
million
as
your
total
Capital
additions
of
59
million
exceeded
your
depreciation
expense
and
net
disposals.
Some
of
the
most
significant
additions
during
the
current
year
were
the
completion
of
West
Ashley
Middle
School
hot
Gap,
Middle
School,
Baptist,
Hill,
High
School,
and
the
center
for
advanced
studies
at
West,
Ashley,
High
School.
L
L
L
So,
let's
talk
about
compliance.
We
did
of
course
perform
a
single
audit.
This
year
we
perform
a
single
audit.
Every
year
as
it
is
required
for
all
entities
that
have
Federal
expenditures
in
excess
of
700
750
000.
this
year
we
looked
at
three
different
programs.
We
looked
at
title
one
Esser
and
Head
Start
and
I
am
thrilled
to
say
no
findings
to
report
for
any
of
those
programs.
L
In
addition,
we
also
are
required
to
issue
a
second
opinion
on
your
financial
statement,
audit,
that
is,
to
describe
our
responsibilities
in
accordance
with
government
auditing
standards,
and
that
is
another
area
where,
if
we.
D
L
L
L
Also,
in
addition
to
the
financial
report,
we
issue
a
management
letter
each
year
and
that's
primarily
required
Communications
from
us
to
you
and
to
management.
We
do
also
include
any
areas
that
we
think
are
significant
enough
to
be
put
in
writing,
but
that
aren't
findings
for
the
report,
and
so,
as
we
mentioned
last
year,
we
do
believe
that
the
pupil
activity
funds
have
a
higher
level
of
inherent
risk.
As
you
are
collecting
and
receiving
funds.
L
You
know
throughout
your
schools,
and
so
we
do
like
you
to
just
keep
that
in
mind.
I
believe
that
the
district
has
good
internal
controls
and
good
policies
and
procedures
in
place
related
to
your
Student
Activity
funds,
but
it
is
important
to
understand
that
there
is
additional
risk
there
that
that
is
not
going
to
be
mitigated
with
your
internal
controls.
So
with
that
I'll
come
to
the
end
of
my
presentation,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
A
Thank
you.
Any
questions
from
the
board
members.
M
Dr
French
I
wanted
to
ask
Julie
just
can
we
make
sure
that
this
presentation
gets
put
in
board
docs,
because
there
are
a
few
differences
between
that
one
and
the
one
that's
attached.
You
know
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
most
up-to-date
information.
D
J
K
I'll
acknowledge
the
work
that
Sean
and
her
team
have
done,
so
it's
been
incredible.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
H
K
I'm
so
proud
of
you
and
and
I
always
say,
I
find
it
someone
else's
yeah.
K
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
item
eight
C.
C
N
It's
the
fun
presentation,
so
Miss
green
suggested
that
we
give
you
this
presentation.
It
couldn't
be
more
appropriate
on
your
last
meeting
to
give
you
an
idea
of
what
you
all
have
approved,
the
idea
of
kind
of
things
that
you
guys
have
done
and
allowed
us
to
execute
with
your
your
budget
approvals
in
the
past.
This
is
FY
22.
So
this
is
a
year
ago
we
began
planning
this
program
in
the
fall
of
2020.
N
You
all
approved
it
in
February
of
2021
and
now
we're
in
the
final
closeout
of
the
financial
side
of
it.
This
program
is
for
repairs,
Renovations
and
replacement.
This
slide
is
our
scorecard
with
projects
broken
up
across
the
different
constituent
districts.
We
have
14
program
areas
that
represent
these
projects.
N
Each
program
area
has
a
distinct
program,
manager
and
they've
done
a
phenomenal
job
in
planning
and
executing
their
programs,
with
with
your
budget
that
you've
provided,
but
575
projects
across
those
14
program
areas,
just
over
46
million
dollars,
total
first
up
I've
got
several
several
of
the
facility
management
slides.
This
provides
a
snapshot
of
their
overall
program
a
little
over
13
million
dollars.
It
goes
from
the
top
of
schools
to
the
below
ground
inside
and
outside
of
our
buildings.
You
can
see
a
good
representation
of
the
work.
N
That's
been
done
here
with
facilities
Mandarin
across
the
board.
Next
up
are
a
few
slides.
We
got
scoreboard
Replacements
before
and
after
at
Baptist,
Hill
and
St
John's
academic
magnets
weight,
room
Renovations
typical
of
the
work
that's
been
done
on
the
athletic
side
for
this
program.
We
also
take
care
of
our
our
staff,
in
this
case
at
District
nine.
N
This
is
St
John's,
High
School,
what
the
trail
used
to
look
like,
and
we
replaced
that
take
care
of
the
workforce
that
gets
kids
to
school
safely,
each
and
every
day,
canopies
something
that
goes
unsung
as
well
until
you're
caught
in
the
rain.
N
You
know
these
have
to
be
hurricane
resistant,
so
it
isn't
simply
just
putting
up
a
couple
of
pulls
with
a
roof
on
it,
extensive
design
to
make
sure
it
can
weather
the
storm.
In
this
case,
we
install
the
carburetor
car
rider
canopy
at
many
use
in
these
pictures
out
in
the
lobby
behind
us.
You
remember
the
old
vestibule
on
the
left.
Now
we've
got
a
very,
very
smaller,
a
much
smaller
and
safer
vestibule
out.
N
There
freed
up
a
lot
of
the
space
in
that
area
for
the
security
and
improving
our
security
posture
with
getting
guests
in
and
out
of
the
boardroom,
but
another
good
example
of
construction
that
was
taken
care
of
with
this
budget
playgrounds,
which
falls
under
facility
management.
We
keep
it
separate
to
make
sure
we're
putting
the
money
into
the
playgrounds
themselves
1.35
million
this
year,
a
good
before
and
after
shots
have
Goodwin
and
Harbor
View.
N
Our
playgrounds
are
about
a
10
to
15
year
life
span
and
we
spend
about
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
playground.
This
not
only
takes
care
of
new
installation
but
maintenance
of
existing
playgrounds,
installation
of
rubberized
surfaces,
maintenance
of
rubberized
surfaces
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
turf,
installation
and
maintenance
as
well
in
those
after
photos,
Security
emergency
management,
2.25
million
we've
got
our
camera
systems
that
require
replacement,
we're
on
about
a
10-year
life
cycle
between
110
and
200
000
per
system
cameras.
N
We've
got
8
000
in
the
district
that
we
keep
track
of
more
than
2
000
electronic
access
control
points.
So
a
program
that
does
require
substantial
funding.
We've
got
radio
communication
at
our
schools.
Good
thing
here:
we've
installed
the
lightning
systems
at
all
of
our
high
school
Fields,
so
that
we
can
keep
our
fans
and
our
players
safe.
When,
when
games,
we've
got
foul
weather
coming
into
text
lightning
and
allows
them
to
shut
down
the
game,
you
know
until
it
until
the
storm
passes.
N
I.T
huge
programs,
technology
upgrades
program
management
devices.
We
also
have
software,
which
I
couldn't
show
a
good
picture
of
software,
but
a
software
program
essentially
consolidated
by
it.
That's
a
separate
program
as
well.
Good
work
done
for
both
the
infrastructure
and
in
the
classrooms
media
modernization,
1.2
million
spent
there
not
only
takes
care
of
both
hard
copy
and
digital
library
books,
but
all
the
devices
that
are
used
by
our
Librarians
to
produce
products
have
our
students
produce
products
for
the
school,
and
we
also
on
the
next
slide.
N
You
can
see
furniture
replacement
in
our
media
centers
goes
out
of
this
program
as
well.
We
really
work
to
line
up
that
media
modernization
with
facility
management,
so
we
do
carpeting
do
Furniture
do
painting.
So
whenever
we
upgrade
a
library
where
we're
really
working
across
our
silos
to
get
all
that
done
at
one
place
at
one
time,
so
you
can
see
that
one
we
had
Styles
point.
We
got
Curio
on
the
furniture,
fixtures
and
equipment.
This
is
the
other
than
Media
Center

over
500
requests
were
completed.
N
This
goes
from

to
to
the
front
office,

to
outdoor
outdoor
benches
and
bike
racks,

Furniture
across
the
board
next
couple
of
side,
so
some
of
the
things
that
were
paid
for
with
Furniture
fixtures
and
other
equipment,
Fine
Arts,
our
Orchestra
equipment,
our
band
equipment-
is
replaced
in
this.
In
this
program,
nine
schools
receive
string
instruments.
11
schools
received
band
instruments
under
this
program
Athletics
we
start
with
football
helmets
and
other
safety
equipment.
N
We
replace
those
and
refurbish
those
first
and
then
we
look
at
other
needs
of
our
high
schools,
and
you
can
see
the
things
that
were
done
with
this
year's
budget.
It's
about
a
quarter
million
dollars,
250
000.
career
and
Technology
education.
This
was
bumped
up
by
the
board
the
last
couple
of
years
and
we
had
two
substantial
projects.
One
at
West,
Ashley,
High
School,
the
other
military
magnet.
N
This
program
here
completed
the
West
Ashley
project
of
replacing
their
culinary
arts
equipment
really
completely
refurbishing
that
space
and
we're
in
the
midst
of
the
military
magnet
project.
Right
now,
and
the
next
slide
shows
some
of
the
things
that
were
done
at
West
Ashley.
N
N
This
is
taking
care
of
our
radios
and
our
cameras
and
our
district
buses
and
also
pays
for
the
athletic
I
mean
the
activity
buses
we
did.
Do
we
got
six
new
activity
buses
this
in
2022
in
this
program,
nutrition
services.
Second
year
of
this
program,
was
added
to
replace
equipment
in
our
cafeterias.
On
the
far
right,
you
can
see
new
serving
lines
received,
11
of
those
across
nine
schools
and
we
did
have
to
purchase
Vans.
N
We
have
two
Vans
and
nutrition
services
now
and
they
help
us
transport
workers
that
would
not
normally
be
able
to
drive
across
the
county
to
get
the
schools
where
there
are
shortages.
So
it
is
a
great
program.
It
allows
us
to
attract
workers
in
the
places
that
we
have
a
hard
time
getting
workers
and,
lastly,
the
first
year
of
our
nursing
program
a
little
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
N
Here
you
can
see
the
types
of
equipment
that
were
purchased
with
the
nursing
funds,
emergency
bags,
medication,
carts
and
Recovery
cots
to
name
a
few,
so
that
closes
out
FY
22
again,
I
really
appreciate
the
board's
support
for
this
program.
You've
really
made
a
difference
in
our
schools
and
I
also
want
to
thank
our
program,
managers
and
finance
that
that
manage
this
program
great
job
by
them.
Thank
you.
Mr
baroi,.
J
Questions
but
again
thank
you
to
Jeff
and
his
team
for
the
outstanding
work,
it's
nice
to
sit
back
and
look
at
all
of
the
work
that
you
guys
accomplished.
So
thank
you
so
much.
C
C
Thank
you
thank
you
to
Mr
Kennedy
for
that
work
and
also
as
somebody
who
worked
on
the
first
Bond
referendum
campaign
that
was
done
in
this
community,
because
our
schools
were
in
such
bad
shape,
which,
by
the
way
failed
for
the
second
one
passed
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
Mr
broey
and
his
team
for
the
past
eight
years.
C
Well,
as
long
as
you've
been
here
so
I
guess
and
I've
been
here,
eight
on
board
eight
years
and
it's
just
been
fantastic
work
and
and
if
you
look
at
where
we
are
from
a
maintenance
building
fixed
cost
of
operations
technology,
we
have
made
so
much
progress
in
that
time
and
I
really
attribute
that
to
your
leadership.
So
thank
you
very
much.
E
K
No
really
really
it's
great
to
meet
you
at
Urban
school
districts
across
the
country.
Ccsds
is
the
Envy
of
many
many
districts
in
terms
of
our
facilities
so
and
I
think
you've
been
here
seven
eight
years,
so
obviously
you
had
a
significant
impact
on
this
community.
So
thank
you.

J
Madam
chairwoman
I
motion
to
approve
the
projects
on
the
attached
list.
Second,.
M
Yes,
I
do
I'm
concerned
about
the
new
item
that
was
added
to
the
list
after
the
special
call
meeting
is
item
number
seven
security
and
Emergency
Management.
So
we
haven't
voted
to
prove
this.
Yet
we'll
do
we're
going
to
vote
on
that
later
in
the
meeting
and
I'm
one
thing
that
I
am
that
my
understanding
is
after
conversation
with
Mr
reinbach.
M
Is
that
this
system,
we
don't
know
how
much
staff
is
going
to
be
needed
to
implement
it,
and
so
there's
a
a
possible
plan
to
do
pilot
projects
instead
of
implementing
it
to
all
the
high
schools
at
once.
That's
not
necessarily
a
problem,
but
this
this
item
that
we're
being
asked
to
approve
would
buy
all
of
the
equipment.
M
We
would
need
for
all
high
schools
and
if
we
go
through
this
project,
the
pilot
and
find
that
this
doesn't
really
work
for
us,
then
we'll
have
a
lot
of
equipment
that
we
don't
need
and
I'm
just
concerned
that
that
we
may
be
making
a
decision
to
do
something
that
doesn't
ultimately
meet
the
goal
of
safety
of
improving
safety,
so
I
I.
Guess
I
would
like
to
know
whether
or
not
we
could
have
that
item
go
back
and
have
a
little
more
study
before
we
make
a
decision
on
it.
Well,.
A
Mr
burrowi
or
Mr
ridenbach.
Do
you
have
a
a
response
for
Dr
French's
question
about
why
if
it's
in
Pilot
We
would
purchase
all
the
equipment
so.
N
The
board
challenged
us
last
month
to
see
how
much
we
could
do
with
security
improvements,
and
this
was
the
item
that
working
with
Finance
fit
the
budget
from
a
one-time
execution
perspective.
It
is
something
that
can
be
effective
and
it's
something
that
we
wouldn't
recommend
it
to
be
purchased.
If
we
didn't
think
it
could
work,
but
Dr
French
has
a
I
mean
her
point
is
valid.
N
It
is
something
that
we
would
be
purchasing
without
knowing
the
exact
labor
cost
to
operate
it
now,
I
will
say
there
are
schools
out
there
that
manage
it
with
very
manage
these
with
very
limited
Staffing,
and
then
you
know,
we've
looked
at
the
what
we
would
like
to
have
and
it
does
create
a
significant
cost
issue
from
the
general
operating
fund
perspective
for
labor,
so
I
mean
the
point
is
valid:
we've
come
up
with
what
we
think
is,
then
the
next
item
on
the
list
that
could
be
funded
within
the
within
the
budget
and
that's
what
was
put
forward.
M
But
this
is
a
follow-up
can
I.
It
also
seems
that
we
have
received
information
in
the
board
brief
that
that
there's
a
a
very
mixed
opinion
from
this
High
School
principles
about
whether
or
not
this
would
work
well
for
them
and
whether
or
not
they
feel
that
their
staff
can
handle
it,
and-
and
my
impression
is
that
these
have
to
be
manned
all
day.
N
As
an
example
of
how
that
can
be
done,
James
Allen,
Charter,
High
School
has
these
devices
a
similar
version,
and
they
have
it
set
up
at
their
front
in
their
front
opening
of
their
facility
and
they've
been
able
to
figure
out
how
to
manage
that
for
everybody
that
shows
up
at
the
school
during
the
day.
So
it
has
been
done
by
other
schools
with
existing
Staffing.
C
C
So
I
think
those
are
all
things
that
could
be
worked
through
and
I'd
like
to
see
us
move
forward
with
with
this
project,
knowing
that
there
are
going
to
be
some
Kinks
to
work
out
at
certain
schools
that
have,
you
know,
have
more
doors
than
other
schools,
but
I
think
we've
already
got
an
example
at
James
Island,
so
I'd
like
to
see
us
be
able
to
move
forward
with
it.
Mr.
A
J
Mr
Rory,
we
don't
they.
Nothing
has
changed
since
we
met
on
this
last
week,
right
other
than
it
going
back
before.
Audit
and
finance
I
mean
my
conversations
with
you
and
Michael
have
always
indicated
that
we
knew
we
were
going
to
have
to
work
through
what
the
Staffing
situation
would
be.
We
knew
we
weren't
going
to
be
able
to
get
the
schools
up
and
running
the
first
day,
but
that
would
I
mean
that's
information
that
y'all
knew
you
were
going
to
have
to
work
with
right.
Yes,
ma'am,
okay,
Mr.
B
C
E
M
N
N
M
I
and
I
just
noted
that
in
the
meeting
last
Thursday
that
Ms
coats
actually
brought
this
up,
that
this
is
a
security
job
and
none
of
our
staff.
You
know
our
administrative
staff,
our
teachers,
our
counselors
they're,
not
this
is
not
part
of
their
job,
so
it's
it
is
concerning
to
suggest
that
they
would
any
of
them
would
do
this
job,
and
then
we
wouldn't
hire
additional
people
who
were
devoted
to
this.
N
So
I'll
I'll
just
say:
I'll
use
an
example
and
again
Mr
reidenbach
can
steer
me
in
the
right
direction,
if
I
Veer
off
course,
but
prior
to
this
board,
approving
the
the
safety
and
the
security
and
search
team,
the
search
team
that
we
have
now
our
schools
did
the
searches
our
school
staff
did
the
searches
in
the
schools.
So
we,
the
board,
approved
buying
the
extra
resources
to
be
able
to
take
that
off
their
shoulders.
So
we've
had
instances
where
the
schools
have
done
things
on
their
own.
O
The
red
notebook
is
here
so
I
will
just
to
reinforce
Mr
broey's
point.
We
do
have
administrators
who
are
conducting
searches
in
our
schools
every
day
and
as
Miss
harderick
and
others
who
visited
James
Island
Charter
have
likely
seen
these
these
weapons.
Detector
systems
require
very
little
interaction
between
the
the
staff
monitoring
them
and
the
students
coming
through,
because
it's
a
pretty
you
don't
have
to
divest
of
your
materials
coming
through.
If
the
machine
goes
off,
the
staffer
would
challenge
individual
hey.
Do
you
have
anything
in
there
that
might
have
set
it
off?
O
Oh
yeah
I
forgot
my
umbrella
in
there.
Okay,
let's
take
that
out,
walk
back
through
the
detector.
If
it's,
if
they
don't
alarm,
come
back
through
and
they
proceed
on
in
it's
only
when
they
do
alarm
and
don't
identify
anything
that
can
be
setting
it
off
that
an
administrator
particularly
would
step
in
to
do
a
back
search
which
administrators
do
now
on
a
regular
basis.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
ridenbach
board
members.
Please
cast
your
votes.
A
A
J
J
A
A
A
M
B
A
A
M
I
I
want
to
make
a
motion,
but
first
I
just
wanted
to
check
in
with
Ms
Reese
the
the
comment
that
did
come
in
made
a
good
point
and
I
wanted.
I
had
asked
her
to
just
check
in
with
Ms
Simmons.
Do
you
have
any
information
you.
D
Can
share
there's
one
word.
M
M
A
C
C
I
moved
to
him
to
approve
engaging
the
services
of
a
private
security
company
to
assign
armed
security
officers
at
schools,
currently
lacking
a
full-time
school
resource
officer,
SRO
due
to
law
enforcement,
Staffing
constraints
and
approved
the
allocation
of
a
million
to
in
fund
balance
for
the
purchase
of
weapons
detectors
for
all
high
schools
and
programs.
Second,.
B
Questions
and
if
this
isn't
a
question
as
much
as
maybe
a
request,
I
think
we're
up
to
three
items.
We've
approved
that
have
raised
the
bottom
line
of
next
year's
budget
already
and
I
would
just
caution
that
if
you
go
when
you
go
to
present
the
budget,
which
inevitably
is
going
to
require
a
tax
increase,
tie
that
back
to
this
action.
In
other
words,
it
says
here
upon
implementation.
The
weapons
detection
program
will
be
assessed
for
further
ongoing
gof.
B
A
A
A
K
You
very
much
Miss
water,
so
I
want
to
recognize
Miss,
Julie
Erickson.
K
The
reason
why
I'm
doing
it
this
evening,
we
will
do
it
more
formally
in
January,
but
she's
announced
her
retirement
from
the
district,
and
so
this
is
now
she's
worked
with
this
board
and
many
of
you
all
that
are
on
the
board
for
years
and
so
I
just
want
to
do
that
publicly
with
this
board
and
let
you
know
that
we
will
have
something
more
formal
in
in
January
when
her
retirement
takes
takes
effect.
So.
A
The
next
item,
13A,
is
our
upcoming
meetings
at
three
o'clock.
This
Friday.
We
will
have
a
special
call
board
meeting
to
swear
in
the
new
board,
as
well
as
elect
officers
and
December
12th,
we'll
have
a
joint
committee
of
the
whole
and
regular
board
meeting
January
9th
Committee
of
the
whole
on
January
23rd
the
act,
the
business
meeting
to
follow.
A
Thank
you
all
so
much
and
a
motion
to
adjourn.
