A
The
first
thing
on
the
item.
Adoption
of
the
agenda.
B
A
C
C
I'm
Brian
Duffy
I'm,
the
CEO
of
a
Charleston
forum
since
the
mother
Emanuel
murders
across
the
street
in
2015,
the
Charleston
Forum
has
worked
to
provide
a
constructive
Dialogue
on
issues
of
race
and
ethnicity
in
the
Tri-County
region
and
help
identify
solutions
to
these
problems
when
it
comes
to
public
education,
particularly
in
Charleston.
County
dialogue
is
no
less
important,
but
is
not
nearly
enough.
C
We
need
to
work
on
Solutions
for
too
long
Charleston
County
school
district
has
provided
insufficient
and
inadequate
opportunities
for
children
in
low-income
houses
and
children
of
color
too
many
of
our
schools
serving
these
children
are
under
staffed
and
underfunded,
and
a
failure
with
this
of
this
magnitude
lies
squarely
within
its
governance.
Unfortunately,
we
have
you
as
a
new
board
and
we
welcome
you
to
the
challenge.
C
We
applaud
the
chair
for
her
commitment
to
transparency
in
its
actions
and,
as
you
undertake
these
challenges,
we
offer
you
three
particular
recommendations
from
the
Charleston
Forum
number
one
make
explicit
and
then
sustain
your
commitment
to
reducing
the
disparity
Gap
so
that
every
child,
regardless
of
race,
ethnicity,
disability
or
zip
code
succeeds
number
two.
Authentic
local
engagement
is
essential
for
building
Trust.
C
The
local
engagement
must
include
involvement
on
what
is
ultimately
decided
and
closure.
With
those
who
are
consulted,
you
can
begin
by
more
detailed
reporting
on
the
outcomes
expected
from
the
sr2
and
three
commitments
that
are
already
made
from
whom
and
by
when
number
three
decisions
that
deal
with
social
and
emotional
supports
in
our
schools
and
the
importance
of
cultural
competence
among
our
teachers
are
best
left
with
educators.
A
A
C
A
You,
sir,
we
have
nine
comments
that
were
made
online.
I
would
like
to
give
voice
to
those
people
or
the
public
comments
on
our
website
online.
Okay,
I'll,
just
kind
of
skim
through
I,
won't
read
some
of
them
get
a
little
linking
so
I'm
not
going
to
read
the
whole
thing,
but
the
first
one
is
from
Joan
chard
regarding
the
post-inquirial
post
and
Couriers
editorial
defensive,
CCSD
December,
the
8th
she
is.
A
The
posting
Courier
is
defending
CCSD
and
Conservative
Republican
lawmakers
and
I'm
reading
it
as
she
wrote
it
in
Conservative,
Republican
lawmakers,
South,
Carolina,
Freedom
caucus,
lawsuit
against
CCSD
for
implementing
CRT
principles
and
training
of
teachers
and
teachings
of
students.
A
Pnc's
more
see,
I'm
gonna
mess
up
her
last
name:
turricot,
States,
critical
race
theory
is
the
academic
framework
that
looks
at
racism
embedded
in
public
policy
and
legal
institutions.
These
ideas
include
teaching
that
one
race
sets
inherently
Superior
and
that
people
are
inherent
inherently
oppressive
because
of
their
race
sex.
The
lawsuit
focuses
on
El
education
that
provides
curricula
and
training
to
schools,
so
that
I'm
just
gonna
go
to
the
next
one,
because
it
gets
a
little
bit
lengthy.
A
The
next
one,
a
concerned,
parent
hi,
as
we
all
come
back
to
school
and
covet
in
the
flu
or
on
the
rise
I'm
wondering
what
is
the
district
implementing
to
make
sure
the
schools
are
well
sanitized,
especially
the
restrooms
and
cafeteria
I
would
love
us
not
to
go
back
to
masking
at
fall
possible.
I.
Think
an
extra
eye
on
sanitizing
would
be
very
helpful
in
keeping
everyone
as
healthy
as
possible.
I
will
continue
to
do
my
part
and
not
sending
my
children
to
school
when
they
are
sick.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
A
Miss
Huggins
I
know
that
I
had
reached
out
to
you
regarding
the
contract
and
I
spoke
with
Mr
Brigman
regarding
the
contract
on
the
janitorial
services,
because
concerned,
citizens
were
expressing
issues
with
that.
They
are
asking
for
follow-ups
and
I
did
follow
up
with
what
you
had
asked
about,
naming
the
different
schools
that
are
having
trouble
so
for
any
parents
that
are
in
the
audience
or
listening
online.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
also
including
the
names
of
the
schools
that
need
extra
attention,
we
would
appreciate
it.
A
So
we
can
Target
our
efforts,
otherwise
in
a
general
broad
brush.
Let's
ensure
that
we
are
using
the
proper
sanitation
to
keep
viruses
and
bacteria
from
spreading
so
moving
along
Gene
Howard
board
members,
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
goals
and
guardrails
that
were
adopted
by
the
Charleston
County
School
Board.
These
goals
and
guard
rails
develop
over
months
of
Engagement
with
the
community,
and
the
Board
of
Trustees
are
to
be
used
as
a
path
toward
achieving
vision.
2027.,
this
new
school
board
professes.
A
They
want
to
be
transparent
by
listening
to
parents
in
the
community,
I'm
just
going
to
stop
there,
because
that
is
actually
our
strategic
education
has
made
sure
that
that's
entering
into
the
conversation
this
evening
and
as
a
part
of
our
agenda
tonight.
A
Misty
Walsh:
this
is
regarding
the
policy
issues.
It's
extensive,
so
I'm,
just
gonna
defer
to
looking
online
and
Mr
Kelly.
If
you
want
I
can
pass
this
down
to
you
for
you
to
read,
but
it's
it's
she's,
breaking
it
down
policy
by
policy
and
Point
by
point
and
has
multiple
things
to
say.
Regarding
each
one.
D
A
How
about
this
I'll
meet
you
in
the
middle
on
that
I'll
read
two
lines
of
each
point
she
makes
so
you'll
get
the
general
idea
a
visitation
and
board
members
allowing
anyone
to
come
and
go
in
schools
can
be
problematic
board.
Members
should
be
coordinated
with
school
staff
before
board.
Members
show
up
additionally,
as
a
parent
I
am
against
any
adult
having
one-on-one
engagement
with
my
child
when
they
are
a
stranger
to
my
family,
okay,
B
prayer
before
board
members.
A
A
The
chairperson
is
already
able
to
lead
a
prayer
or
moment
of
silence
during
okay,
so
this
one
is
actually
I'm
was
going
to
bring
this
up
once
I
got
to
that
agenda
item
the
agenda.
The
agenda
item
4B
the
one
that's
posted
publicly-
is
there's
an
actually
an
updated
version
of
that.
So
I'll
address
that
one.
Once
we
get
to
that
point.
So
item
C
election
of
board
members
to
positions
on
the
board.
The
policy
excludes
any
elected
board.
A
Member
elected
outside
of
the
regular
November
election
from
being
appointed
to
positions
already
filled
during
a
regular
election.
This
unfairly
discriminates
against
the
newly
elected
board
member
appointments
and
elections
of
chair,
and
vice
chairperson
can
be
held
after
regular
election,
so
business
can
be
conducted
until
a
number
is
elected
or
appointed.
E
A
Oh
sorry,
I
I
skipped
item
D,
allowing
the
board
to
hire
their
own
Council.
Currently,
the
board
already
has
this
ability.
The
board
does
not
have
the
ability
to
hire
a
CCSD
Council
only
to
approve
a
contract.
The
superintendent
holds
the
ability
to
hire.
A
CCSD
council
is
also
added
that
any
outside
Council
used
by
CCSD
cannot
be
involved
in
any
public
litigation.
A
So
the
next
one
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
is
Alan
Morris
and
again
it's
about
policy.
He
says
policy
additions.
I
have
some
concerns
with
the
policy
editions
recommended
by
the
cow
one
visitation
for
board
members.
Engaging
with
kids
in
the
middle
of
the
day
is
interfering
with
their
studies
and
should
only
be
allowed
with
prior
notice
and
scheduling.
I,
don't
want
board
members
randomly
showing
up
to
school
and
engaging
with
children
number
two
prayers
before
board
meetings.
This
is
completely
unnecessary
to
be
forced
by
rule
on
everyone
in
the
room.
A
If
the
board
chair
would
like
a
moment
of
Silent
reflection
before
the
meeting
fine,
otherwise,
who
is
the
faith
leader
going
to
be
again
that
been
revised?
Number
three
election
of
board
members
to
positions
on
the
board?
This
policy
is
unfair
to
the
last
remaining
board
member
elected
in
the
February
7th
election
number:
four,
allowing
the
board
to
hire
their
own
Council.
The
board
does
not
have
the
ability
to
hire
CCSD
Council
only
to
approve
the
contract.
The
superintendent
holds
the
ability
to
hire
CCSD
Council.
A
Lee
Brooks
is
the
next
one
policy
additions
in
today's
meeting
visitation
for
board
members
visitation
of
board
members
should
be
coordinated
with
school
staff.
Unannounced
visits
could
be
should
be
prohibited,
especially
if
they
are
entering
a
classroom.
As
a
parent
and
past
substitute
teacher
I
know
that
this
very
disruptive
to
the
class
and
at
the
very
least,
will
result
in
the
loss
of
an
entire
day
of
lessons
moving
on
prayer.
If
somebody
insists
on
praying
at
a
school
board
meeting,
all
faiths
should
be
represented
at
the
meeting
outside
Council.
A
The
board
already
has
this
ability
do
not
involve
the
board
in
matters
that
are
not
their
job.
Election
of
board
members
to
Physicians
on
the
board.
Appointments
to
position
on
a
board
should
not
be
limited
to
members
who
are
elected
during
the
regular
November
elections.
This
is
discriminatory
policy
toward
newly
elected
members.
Please
note
state
law,
59-19-70.
A
She
also
made
another
comment:
online
Nicole,
Brooks
policy,
a
strangers
I.E
board
trustees
should
not
have
the
ability
to
walk
in
my
child's
classroom.
A
A
The
very
bottom
four.
A
Okay,
I'll
move
on
to
the
next
one,
while
you're
doing
that.
So
then,
the
the
last
one
that
I
have
is
another
one
from
Joan
chard:
finding
curriculum
content
balance
and
necessity
for
public
school
survival
as
a
child,
I
was
fascinated
by
the
ability
of
the
circus
tightrope
artist's
amazing
ability
to
walk
on
wire
while
delicately
maneuvering
the
ballast
bar
to
ensure
safety.
A
similar
task
is
the
job
of
Educators.
Today,
in
balancing
curriculum
content,
so
both
opposing
viewpoints
can
be
fairly
represented.
A
Present
day,
mindsets
consist
of
completely
contrasting
agenda
devoted
to
crushing
their
opponents
to
achieve
Victory.
However,
in
destroying
the
supposed
enemy,
we
also
destroy
the
entire
educational
process,
so
everyone
loses.
The
goal
for
educational
leaders
should
be
the
same
as
for
tightrope
Walkers,
the
goal
of
safety
for
the
public
school
system.
A
What
does
safety
mean
in
its
practical
application
to
curriculum
content
opposing
sides
of
woke
versus
traditionalist
must
allow
each
side
the
right
to
hold
its
opinions,
but
both
sides
must
modify
their
All
or
Nothing
stances
to
allow
adequate
instruction
of
academic
knowledge
plus
sufficient
time
to
study
slavery,
civil
rights
and
gender
issues
to
instill
Pride.
But
not
victimhood,
no
school
subject
is
exempt,
since
even
English
grammar
can
be
completely
neglected
by
time
spent,
in
writing
assignments
for
white
students
to
confess
supposed
guilt
for
a
mistreatment
of
blacks.
A
The
question
remains
of
whether
both
groups
continue
their
quote
my
way
or
the
highway
thinking
or
whether
they
are
able
to
respect
each
other
enough
to
find
and
keep
that
delicate
balance
of
the
high
wire
artist
to
avoid
the
destruction
of
our
American
public
school
system.
There
is
no
safety
net
Joan
chard.
A
A
It's
a
little
bit
difficult
to
read
should
not
have
the
ability
should
not
have
the
ability
to
walk
into
my
child's
classroom
and
engage
with
my
child.
You
are
strangers,
not
educational,
professional
professionals,
enhancing
the
classroom
environment.
You
will
be
a
describe
a
distraction
at
best.
Additionally,
CCSD
employees
do
not
work
for
you.
They
work
for
our
children.
A
F
Good
afternoon
board
chair
Miss
McKinney
Vice,
chair
Miss,
Bailey,
Board
of
trustee
members
and
superintendent
Mr
Kennedy
in
compliance
with
South
Carolina
regulation.
F
We're
able
to
offer
middle
and
high
school
students
access
to
our
Avid
elective
courses
and
a
freshman
Focus
course.
They
both
support,
College
and
Career
readiness,
most
of
the
High
School
courses
on
the
list
that
you
have
are
worth
one
unit
of
credit
and
are
required
to
consist
of
120
hours
of
instructional
time
so,
depending
upon
the
school.
F
These
half
unit
credit
courses
like
the
Freshman
Focus
course,
for
instance,
on
your
list
might
be
scheduled
for
a
shorter
period
of
time
within
a
semester
or
even
within
a
Quarter
Middle
School
elective
courses
do
not
represent
High
School
units
of
credit,
so
these
courses
are
scheduled
as
a
quarter
semester
or
year-long
based
upon
the
purpose
of
the
course
the
needs
of
the
students
and
the
school
resources.
F
F
G
I
would
just
like
to
suggest
in
the
future.
If
you
know
Educators
were
so
into
jargon,
so
if
you
could
just
put
what
those
initials
mean,
that
would
be
good,
because
those
were
some
of
the
questions.
I
was
Fielding
based
on
this
document.
That
would
be
helpful.
We.
F
Well,
every
year
we
actually,
we
actually
submit
courses
for
local
board
approval
based
on
the
criteria
of
the
state.
So
it's
an
annual
process.
F
The
current
courses,
I
they've,
been
well,
we've
got
several
courses
or
at
different
time
periods
or
approved,
but
no
new
course
requests
occurred.
This
year,
everything
has
been
has
been
offered,
at
least
once
in
CCSD
right.
H
So
I'm
Kathy
gear,
the
director
of
school,
Improvement
and
I,
know
what
the
accreditation
and
strategic
planning
and
and
deal
with
this
process
that
essentially
the
state
every
year
provides
us
with
a
list
of
courses
that
we
can
offer
the
activity
coding
system
and
there
are
literally
probably
2,
000
courses
in
that
book.
There
are,
however,
but
all
of
those
courses
are
tied
to
particular
kind
of
certifications,
particular
constraints.
H
It's
a
fairly
typical
process
that
every
year
districts
submit
any
additional
needs
that
they
have
for
courses
to
their
to
their
local
boards
for
approval
and
then,
if
they're,
also,
if
they're
Innovative
courses,
those
would
be
courses
that
carry
High
School
Credit
for
core
area
like
CTE
courses
or
English
courses,
or
something
like
that
they
would
have
to
go
to
this
state
as
well,
but
these
but
most
of
our
courses.
So
it's
the
combination
of
all
those
courses
that
require
approval
that
we're.
H
H
So
I
believe
the
first
year
of
avid
was
the
first
year
that
Saint
John's
had
their
eeda
Grant,
which
I
think
was
seven.
Was
that
17.
was
that
the
first
year.
A
A
Don't
yeah
one
in
particular,
I
like
that
you
have
I,
think
should
be
in
all
the
schools
was
the
life
skills
course
I
would
have
to
go
back
and
actually
open
it
up
to
tell
you
the
specific
name
of
that
course,
but.
F
Well,
any
of
the
courses
that
you
have
on
the
list.
They
become
a
part
of
that
District
course
catalog.
So
any
of
our
schools
are
able
to
offer
them.
You
know,
should
there
be
student
interest
and
availability
within
their
master
schedule
to
do
so.
So
just
so,
you
know,
by
approving
that's
what
you're
you're
allowing
them
to
do.
G
We
would
like
a
motion.
Thank
you,
I
move.
We
accept
the
courses
that
are
have
been
provided
for
our
approval.
Oh.
J
G
All
right,
this
is
a
action.
Our
agenda
item
that
I
submitted
last
meeting.
We
heard
from
the
Greg
Mathis
charter
school
and
received
a
letter
requesting
a
facility
update
from
CCSD,
and
so
this
is
a
request
for
an
update
to
our
board
on
the
status
of
the
request
and
in
this
agenda
item
we've
asked
that
for
additional
information,
I,
don't
think
I
need
to
read
all
the
additional
information
but
anyway,
so
that
the
board
can
make
a
a
decision.
A
That
gave
a
lot
of
the
back
story
and
the
details
and
the
work
that
they're
doing
I
I
think
it
what
they're
doing
is
wonderful
and
when
we
had
our
me
meeting
on
Tuesday
to
go
over
the
agenda,
I
took
the
opportunity
to
prepare
Mr
burrowi
that
we
were
going
to
be
bringing
this
up
and
ask
for
an
update
on
the
situation
with
Greg
Mathis,
and
why
are
they
having
so
much
trouble
with
the
facility
and
you
you
were
kind
enough
to
provide
some
information.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
going
over
that.
K
That's
me
so,
from
a
facility
perspective,
every
year
we
have
principals,
take
a
look
at
the
programmatic
use
of
their
building
when
necessary.
In
this
case,
it
is
necessary
to
take
a
closer
look
at
that
programmatic
use
to
see
if
there
is
a
space
of
it
available
for
any
necessary
uses
other
than
what
it's
being
used
for
at
this
time.
K
So
we
receive
that
information
from
our
principals
in
November
we
took
a
look
at
those
schools
that
had
what
we
believe
to
be
excess
building
capacity,
took
those
schools
and
are
have
compared
it
to
the
programmatic
use
that
the
principals
have
identified
and
we'll
present
that
to
District
staff
later
on
this
month.
We'll
combine
that,
with
the
remainder
of
the
information
that
you've
requested
here.
In
this
request,
it
includes
the
financial
well-being,
Bill,
well-being,
the
educational
outcomes,
the
data
that's
been
put
together
by
learning
services
will
bring
out.
All
of
that
together.
K
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
since
Greg
mathis's
letter
in
July
of
this
past
year,
they
updated
their
quest
in
the
middle
of
December,
so
in
July
they
asked
for
24
classrooms
and
two
labs
in
on
the
13th
of
December.
They
modify
their
request
to
10
classrooms
and
one
lab
they
do
have
as
of
day
10.
They
had
55
students
enrolled
in
this
in
the
school
related
to
funding
every
charter
school
that
is
District,
sponsored
that
uses
District
space
pays
for
it.
K
They
pay
for
their
own
utilities,
they
pay
for
custodial
and
they
pay
for
common
maintenance.
So
every
every
school
that
is
within
one
of
our
school
buildings
is
paying
in
some
form
or
fashion,
based
on
the
agreement
they
had
when
they
came.
They
came
on
board.
We've
been
very
consistent
with
that
over
the
last
several
years,
with
the
last
two
schools
that
came
into
our
spaces,
which
are
actually
the
last
three
Allegro
pace
and
Carolina
Voyager
that
pretty
much
covered.
How.
I
If
I
may
I'm
just
going
to
speak
extemporaneously
now,
are
you
done
wait?
Two
minutes,
though?
Okay
I
think
this
situation
when
we
got
the
email
has
been
going
on
since
2015
and
I
know.
This
is
operational,
an
operations
issue
and
Facilities
you,
you
have
the
expertise
to
handle
this.
My
concern
is
that
it's
been
going
on
for
so
long
that
we
have
nine
Charter
Schools,
that's
under
the
district
and
seven
have
spaces.
I
So
I'm
just
going
to
say
this
in
military
language.
I
don't
want
you
know.
When
we
look
at
aircraft
carriers,
they
get
everything
that
they
want,
but
then
alongside
them
you
have
frigates.
They
get.
The
leftover
I
think
that
we
need
to
be
intentional
about
solving
this
problem.
So
I
look
forward
to
you,
putting
your
information
together
and
presenting
it
to
us
in
February
with
the
solution
so
that
we
can
move
on
and
be
about
the
business
of
educating
these
58
students.
Thank
you.
I.
K
K
Yes,
ma'am
we've
had
a
number
of
schools
that
have
been
made
available
to
all
of
our
charter
schools
for
a
number
of
years,
so
those
still
stand
and
are
still
available.
K
K
Certainly
that
that's
to
the
boards,
that's
the
board's
purview
in
in
the
past.
There
has
been
individualized
exceptions
for
Pace,
Pace
or
Special
Needs
school.
They
offer
a
service
that
the
district
would
pay
much
more
for
if
we
were
to
provide
that
service.
So
we
have
made
exceptions
in
the
past,
but
it
would
still
require
word
approval.
A
K
K
Much
much
of
a
help
from
a
transportation
perspective
and
I
would
say
that
that
that
facility
costs
that
they
have.
Ninety
six
thousand
dollars
doesn't
even
come
close
to
what
the
other
Charter
Schools
pay,
but.
K
A
K
I
I,
don't
want
us
to
put
them
I
know
a
couple
years
ago
in
North
Charleston
had
a
alternative
program
in
their
building
and.
E
I
A
And
we
don't
have
any
vacant
land
where
we
could
put
like
what
she's
saying
some
sort
of
cottages
or
tiny
houses
or
anything
like
that.
K
I'd
have
to
go.
Take
a
look,
but
another
point
with
that:
similar
to
transportation
is
the
cost.
The
cost
of
an
individual
Cottage
is
well
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars,
so
just
The
Upfront
cost
of
a
cottage
is
extremely
challenging.
I
Okay,
my
final
question:
since
you've
not
mentioned
it
I'm
going
to
assume
that
you
have
already
designated
a
use
for
Garrett
High
School.
K
Yes,
ma'am,
that's
a
that's
a
real
good
question.
We
have
Garrett
identified
as
the
swing
space
from
Morningside.
Morningside
demolition
would
begin
this
Summer.
That
school
would
need
to
be
in
there
for
two
years
on.
On
top
of
that,
we
also
have
a
long-term
plan
to
demolish
Garrett
because
of
seismic,
not
seismic
issues,
but
it
was
a
facility
that
was
built.
Two-Story
facility
was
built
before
the
seismic
codes
that
we
have
now
so
all
of
our
two-story
facilities.
K
We've
got
a
long-term
Vision
to
eliminate
them
from
our
from
our
system
and.
G
In
February
I
just
want
I
also
wanted
to
ask
what
what
is
the
schedule
for
chartering
and
rechargering
of
Greg
Mathis,
so.
K
A
G
Right
great
and
on
November
7th
2022,
the
CCSD
Board
of
Trustees
approved
three
student
outcome
goals
and
a
set
of
guard
rails
that
were
developed
through
a
lot
of
community
engagement
and
collaboration
with
the
Council
of
Greater
City
Schools.
G
According
to
the
continuous
Improvement
framework,
the
CCSD
Board
of
Trustees
will
devote
time
monthly
to
monitoring
progress
toward
the
goals
lead
transparently
and
include
stakeholders
in
the
pursuit
of
the
goals
lead
with
one
voice
in
its
pursuit
of
the
goals
and
invest
time
and
resources
towards
improving
its
focus
on
the
goals.
As
I
read
through
the
goals
and
guard
rails,
they
are
smart
goals,
and
so
there
are
times
that
are
attached
to
each
of
these
goals.
G
So
if
we
as
a
board
are
to
be
involved
with
monitoring
them,
then
we
need
a
calendar
that
we
can
use
so
that
we
can
place
a
goal
or
a
guard
rail
on
our
calendar
for
discussion.
One
of
the
things
that
I
did
was
to
prepare
a
draft
calendar
taking
into
account
the
goals.
What
I
knew
about
testing
times.
G
For
example,
we
can't
request
data
if
the
test
isn't
there
at
a
particular
time,
and
so
anyway,
the
intent
of
this
is
to
get
a
calendar
together,
so
that
we
can
monitor
the
goals
and
and
guard
rails,
because
I
think
we're
committed
well
I,
know
I'm
committed
to
us
improving
student
achievement,
and
if
we're
going
to
have
goals,
then
we
need
to
monitor
them
and
and
see
where
we're
making
success
and
where
we're
not,
then
that's
going
to
be
an
opportunity
to
tweak
the
program
and
and
change
things
around.
M
I
ask
you
a
question:
did
so?
Did
you
speak
with
anyone
from
the
Council
of
gray,
City
Schools?
Regarding
this
agenda
item
I
did
okay,
did
they
suggest
any
training
or
anything,
because
I
think
we
need
more
than
a
calendar
I
think
we
need
training
as
a
board
in
the
student
outcome
spoken
focused
government
governance
process
as
well
as
what
exactly
we
should
be
doing
as
we're
engaging
monitoring,
and
there
is
a
district
side
as
well
as
a
board
side.
I
see
Mr
Kennedy
race
is
handsome.
Maybe
you
have
some
additional
Insight
yeah
go
ahead.
L
Yeah,
thank
you
very
much
so
you're
right,
so
there's
there's
a
process
with
the
the
board
of
governments,
goals
that
were
set
up
and
that
process
included
beginning
early
on
earlier
earlier
last
year,
exploring
the
data
that
we
wanted
to
explore
and
share
with
the
community
in
order
to
come
up
with
the
board
goal.
So
we
accumulated
a
a
set
of
appropriate
student
outcome.
L
Data
represented
that
to
the
school
board,
School
Board,
weighed
in
on
it,
took
that
data
to
the
Community
I
think
it's
like,
maybe
23,
Community
engagements
and
then
based
on
that
set
of
processes.
The
board
goals
were
created
in
the
guard
rails
were
created
now,
in
addition
to
the
goals
in
the
guardrail
guard
rails,
the
three
goals
and
the
five
guard
rails,
each
of
those
had
a
series
of
interim
goals
or
interim
guard
rails,
also
smart
type
goals.
So
that's
where
the
process
stopped.
L
The
next
part
of
that
process
is
to
develop
the
the
monitoring
process,
protocols
which
includes
a
calendar
but
there's
a
set
of
that's
a
structured
way
to
do
that,
and
that's
the
training
that
I
think
this
was
talking
about.
So,
for
instance,
we
would
not.
L
We
would
not
monitor
each
goal,
the
goals
of
five-year
goals,
so
the
interim
goals
have
timelines
that
are
shorter,
much
shorter
supposed
to
be
a
year
in
there,
so
that
we
could
monitor
the
progress
towards
those
goals
and
and
but
there's
a
there's,
a
process
to
be
able
to
establish
that
market,
that
monitoring
structure.
There's
a
training
protocol
set
up
to
train
both
staff
as
well
as
as
board
members.
L
And
how
do
we
do
that
that
that
gold
monitoring
steps
within
that
entire
length
of
process
from
data
analysis
to
create
creating
the
goals
and
then
monitoring
of
those?
Oh
sorry,
all.
G
Right
well,
the
Council
of
Greater
City
Schools
recommends
that
we
monitor
one
goal
every.
Let
me
go.
G
That
we
monitor
one
goal
or
interim
goal
per
month
and
that
the
guard
rails
be
monitored
at
least
once
per
year.
So
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
get
started
right
away.
I,
don't
think
you
know
a
lot
of
our
goals
were
set
for
data
achievement
in
May
and
April
April
and
May
and
I.
G
Think
it's
really
important
if
we
have
any
kind
of
interim
information
regarding
either
the
goal
or
the
sub
goals
that
we
get
started
right
away
because
I
I
don't
want
to
see
us
drag
this
process
on
I
I
reviewed
about
three
and
a
half
years
of
strategic
education
agendas
and
I
found
over
and
over
goals
were
set,
but
they
were
never
monitored.
And
if
we
don't
monitor
these
goals,
then
I
don't
think
we're
going
to
get
to
the
achievement
that
we
are
expecting
and
and
again,
if
we're.
G
If
we
have
a
process
in
place
to
monitor,
then
we're
going
to
know
if
what
we're
doing
is
working
and
if
not,
we
we've
got
to
change
course.
So
I've
I've
submitted
a
a
calendar.
I
brought
hard
copies
of
it.
That
I
can
give
to
staff
and
I
think
that
we
need
to
at
least
get
a
tentative
calendar.
If
something
doesn't
work,
I
think
we
have
to
be
open
to
adjusting
it,
but
I
think
we
got
to
get
started.
M
I
just
wanted
to
just
for
the
sake
of
of
one
adding
to
what
you
said
because
I
agree,
but
moving
us
along
that
we
set
or
at
least
bring
to
the
normal
meeting
of
just
some
decision,
some
vote
to
move
forward
with
the
Council
of
great
City
Schools
project
process,
because
I
think
we
all
have
to
have
training.
When
I
say
it's
more
than
a
calendar.
I
don't
disagree
with
the
calendar
idea,
but
we
need
training
and
what
the
process
is
and
exactly
the
you
know.
M
They
go
so
far
as
to
talk
to
you
about
the
types
of
questioning
that
you
should
enter
into
the
conversation
with
to
make
sure
that
the
public
understands
where
we're
really
getting
to
in
terms
of
our
our
goals
and
our
guardrails.
So
I
think
that
the
training,
though,
is
very
critical.
Certainly
let's
put
a
calendar
together,
but
everybody
has
to
be
walking
in
unison
and
I.
Don't
think
everyone
will
have
the
same
level
of
understanding
as
you,
because
the
rest
of
the
board
hasn't
engaged
the
Council
of
great
City
Schools,
but.
G
One
of
the
things
we
might
be
able
to
also
assess
is
that
during
these
Community
engagement
sessions
that
were
going
on
in
the
fall,
many
of
us
who
were
candidates
at
that
time
attended
so
I
think
that's
a
bonus,
but
those
who
didn't
attend
were
just
going
to
have
to
assess
where
each
board
member
is
in
terms
of
understanding
the
goals
and
guard
rails
and
the
in
the
process.
I.
Think
those
of
us
who
attended
several
sessions
have
a
sense
of
what
that
is
all
about,
so
I
think
sure.
M
Months
of
training
since
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
step
over
the
fact
that
we
still
need
to
engage
in
a
full
board.
A
A
It
but
yeah.
A
This
is
for
information,
only
okay,
all
right,
so
we're
gonna
move
on
to
item
four
on
the
agenda,
starting
with
item
a
policy,
Amendment
board
powers
and
duties.
I'm
gonna
hand
this
over
to
Mr
Kelly.
D
There
were
some
edits
after
feedback
from
I,
sent
an
email,
a
copy
this
to
the
whole
board
and
got
some
great
feedback
from
everybody,
Incorporated
a
lot
of
that
feedback
into
edits.
So
on
Friday
we
tried
to
put
the
edits
into
board
docs
that
are
available
to
the
public
as
well.
Some
of
the
edits
got
put
up.
Some
did
not
so
I
believe
we've
got
some
slides.
Is
that
right,
yeah.
O
We
we
do
thank
you,
Mr
Kelly,
for
for
doing
that.
Miss
Erickson,
Miss
Paylor
has
suggested
that
it
will
be
fine,
Miss
Dangerfield,
if
you
pulled
the
revised
iteration
of
those
policy,
changes
up
so
that
the
public
can
see
them
and
those
present
here
can
see
them
as
Mr
Kelly
and
board
members
engage
and
have
discussion
about
the
board
policies,
noting
that
today
there
is
no
action
on
these
policies,
but
instead
the
intenders
for
discussion.
Only
thank
you.
Mr
Kelly,
yeah.
A
D
A
Is
actually
a
copy
of
4B,
because
this
was
the
only
one
that
didn't
make
it
to
board
Docs.
The
other
revisions
are
on
board
docks.
D
Okay,
so
real
quickly,
BBA.
This
is
the
visitation,
as
well
as
the
information
requests
based
on
feedback
in
conversation
with
different
board
members.
We
did
remove
the
line
about
interacting
with
students.
The
assumption
is
that
the
the
intent
is
for
the
board
members
to
be
present
in
the
school
and
interact
with
administrators
interact
with
staff
always
wave
or
something,
but
there
was
no
intent
to
ever
do
one-on-one
sessions
with
a
kid
that
was
never
part
of
it.
D
There's
obviously
or
there's
also
an
introduction,
a
closing
here
to
avoid
inadvertent,
foia
violations.
Where
we're
you
know
creating
a
quorum.
D
So
the
the
expectation
is
that
board
members
do
coordinate
any
visitation
to
schools
amongst
themselves
with
a
shared
calendar
or
some
other
informal
mechanism,
there's
an
expectation
as
well
about
board
members
attire
and
the
Quorum
at
a
school,
nothing
incredibly
abnormal
or
out
of
out
of
the
world
and
then
in
the
event
that
I
can't
imagine
it
would
happen
with
especially
this
board,
but
but
in
the
future,
if
there
were
to
be
any
violations
of
a
decorum
or
a
dress
problem
on
a
school.
D
D
Then
a
group
conversation
in
private,
then
a
group
conversation
public
and
then
a
vote
for
censure
and
in
the
event
that
it
got
to
a
vote
for
censure
the
board
members
visitation
rights
would
be
suspended
for
90
days,
basically
building
in
a
Fail-Safe
a
a
protection
for
the
kids
and
and
for
the
staff,
so
that
nobody
gets
overwhelmed
on
information
requests
again.
This.
D
This
intent
is
not
that
the
intent
here
is
not
to
drastically
overturn
what
is
currently
happening
and,
quite
frankly,
I've
seen
a
number
of
requests
that
have
all
been
perfectly
great,
normal
and
they're
being
directed
as
appropriate.
This
just
enshrines
what
is
already
happening
in
policy
and
so,
rather
than
the
policy
being
violated,
it
says
that
all
emails
need
to
go
to
Mr
Kennedy
or
to
the
to
the
chairman,
I'm,
sorry,
the
superintendent.
D
This
simply
says
that
as
adults
we
can
email
the
appropriate
department.
So
if
you
have
an
HR
question,
you
email
the
head
of
HR.
If
you
have
a
an
accounting
question,
you
email
the
head
of
accounting
Etc
and
then
obviously
you
copy
the
superintendent
as
would
be
appropriate
unless
the
subject
matter
for
some
unforeseen
reason
would
be
something
that
they
should
not
be
dealing
with,
that
the
superintendent
should
not
be
dealing
with
and
then
it.
The
new
policy
also
defines
a
reasonable
expectation
of
a
reply
within
12
working
hours.
D
That
can
really
be
anything
just
trying
to
make
something
measurable
and
then,
in
the
event
that
something
odd
happens
like
a
power
outage
internet
doesn't
work
someone's
on
vacation,
sick,
whatever
the
superintendent
would
just
let
the
board
member
as
well
as
the
board
chairman,
know:
hey,
that's
not
going
to
work
and
then
the
board
chairman
has
the
ability
to
Grant
the
district
a
seven
day
or
up
to
seven
day
extension
on
the
policy
and
if,
for
some
reason,
there's
a
disagreement
about
whether
or
not
the
issue
should
be
have
even
asked
for
then
the
chairman
will
add
that
item
to
the
next
agenda
for
the
full
board
to
vote
on
the
the
information
request.
G
All
right
under
School,
Board
information
requests
one
of
the
things
that
caught
my
attention
was
about
staff
responding
within
the
12
working
hour
within
12
working
hours.
I'm,
like
you,
don't
have
12
working
hour
days.
G
Okay,
well,
that's
a
little
confusing
to
me
and
then
there
was
a
statement
about
employees.
What
employees
are
specifically
supervised
by
the
board.
G
Okay,
maybe
it
would
be
clear
just
to
say
that
then
then
superintendent
or
then
employees
and
then
I
did
submit
to
you
and-
and
you
got
the
email
of
editing
number
one
so
that
it's
just
an
edit.
It's
a
get
the
verb
to
start
the
sentence.
So
it's
parallel
to
number
two.
J
D
Wasn't
for
free?
No,
that's!
Okay!
You
have
to
work
for
it,
so
the
the
the
phrase
that
you're
referring
to
about
the
courtesy,
the
board,
I'm
sorry
as
a
courtesy
to
the
employee,
the
board
supervises.
It
should
also
be
standard
practice
to
copy
the
superintendent
on
any
such
correspondence.
It
read
in
that
context.
Is
that
still
a
confusing
phrase
foreign,
it
could
be
said
another
way
as
a
courtesy
to
the
superintendent
comma,
the
superintendent
should
be.
L
I
do
so
speaking
of
maybe
I
don't
know
if
it
comes
on
the
category
of
being
courteous,
you
know
courteous
or
not,
but
in
the
past
what
we've
discovered
over
time.
That's
when,
when
staff
respond
to
a
single
board
member
on
our
inquiry,
it
sometimes
causes
problems
cause
other
board.
Members
are
not
aware
what
the
information
request
is
and
it
causes
you
know,
lack
of
understanding
when
we
get
to
a
board
meeting
to
to
vote.
L
So
this
is
not
embedded
in
policy,
but
our
practice
has
been.
Is
that
when
we
get
we've
been
staff,
get
questions
from
board
members
and
individual
board
members,
then
we
we
provide
that
answer
to
all
board
members,
the
question
and
and
the
answer
all
board
members
in
the
board
brief
that
goes
out
once
a
week,
it's
either
Thursday
night
or
Friday
or
sometime
Friday.
So
that
way,
the
all
board
members
are
aware
of.
L
So
yes,
and
so
the
question
is,
that
is
the
intent
of
the
policy
to
keep
that
process
in
place
that
practice
in
place.
D
I
would
see
I
don't
think
this
policy
speaks
to
that,
but
if
you're
asking
personally,
which
I
don't
know
that
you
are
I
I,
don't
I
don't
see
why
that
practice
would
change.
Okay.
This
policy
doesn't
speak
to
that.
Nor
does
it
attend
to
okay,
good.
M
I
I
want
to
go,
and
although
I'm
sitting
here
and
you
looking
at
Darlene,
dunmyer
Roberson
I'm,
now
going
to
speak
for
the
constituents
of
District
8
and
the
questions
that
they've
asked
of
me.
So
let
me
first
say:
I
know
that
you've
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
on
these
policies.
I
I've
seen
the
modifications
come
through,
email
I
have
been
probably
out
of
the
loop
after
the
second
third
modification,
but
my
constituents
would
like
to
know
why
these
four,
why
the
urgency
for
these
particular
four
policy
modification
amendments
now
with
us
being
such
a
new
board
and
there's
not
a
sense
of
emergency
there.
It's
not
an
emergency
for
these
amendments,
and
why
could
we
not
wait
until
maybe
we
have
attended
our
boardmanship
training
and
actually
gotten
some
more
training?
I
As
with
the
golden
guard,
whales
I
think
people
are
wanting
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
being
presumptuous
as
a
new
board
and
that
we
receive
all
of
the
proper
training
before
we
start
changing
policies.
D
D
No,
no
I'm
trying
to
pull
out
the
question.
The
question
was
why
these
four
correct
and
so
the
wow
to
be
perfectly
honest,
miss
dunmeyer
or
Roberson.
Yes,
is
it
Robertson
a
real
person?
I'm,
sorry,
roll
person
Roberson?
D
To
be
honest,
it
was
these
are
at
the
top
of
the
list,
as
in
like
when
you
open
up
the
policies.
These
are
the
first
ones
that
that
we
started
tackling
together.
D
But
specifically,
these
ones
for
editing
is
because
this
opens
the
this,
creates
the
groundwork
for
us
to
be
able
to
more
effectively
communicate
with
this
one
specifically
communicate
with
the
district.
So
if,
if
our
goal
is
to
understand
the
district
as
a
whole,
then
a
big
part
of
that
is
going
to
be
able
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
them.
D
I
don't
want
to
violate
policy
and
and
I've
seen
it
done
almost
inadvertently
with
this
one
that
you
know
I
did
it
myself
in
fact
I
emailed
them
the
the
gentleman
in
charge
of
Human
Resources
directly
without
knowing
that
I
was
violating
this
policy.
That
email
should
have
gone
to
Mr,
Kennedy
and
right.
So
this
is
a
matter
of
efficiency.
So
that
we
can
actually
get
familiar
with
the
district
without
violating
policy
and
the
visitation
to
schools
is
very
similar.
D
We
are
all
a
new
board
and
we
want
to
and
I
even
wrote
it
in
I
believe
it
made
it
to
the
final
draft,
but
a
visitation
to
a
school
from
a
board
member.
The
intent
is
the
heart
behind.
That
is
a
genuine
desire
to
understand
how
how
a
school
operates
and
what
what
happens
in
a
school
and
and
what
the
administrators
and
the
PE
coach
and
the
different
people
run
up
against
and
without
being
able
to
talk
with
them.
D
A
I
could
speak
to
that
myself
and
Mr
Kelly,
along
with
Mr
boroughly,
went
and
toured
Lincoln
High
School
in
McClellanville
Friday
yeah
Friday
morning
and
as
a
result,
we
ended
up
also
touring
St,
James
Santee,
and
with
that
tour
we
realized.
A
D
A
Sweet
through
interacting
with
her
we
found
out
what
that
school's
need
was
was
including
that
that
flex
room
where
they
need
some
tables
for
the
middle
school
students,
because
the
tables
that
are
in
there
are
small
for
elementary
age
and
both
Elementary
and
Middle
School
use
that
flex
room.
So
that's
to
his.
P
Now,
if
we
are
elected
by
the
community,
why
are
we
not
visiting
these
schools
to
see
what's
going
on
there
not
to
go
in
and
surprise
anybody
to
catch
anybody
doing
anything
wrong,
but
to
see
where
the
need
is
and
how
we
can
appropriately
affect
change
and
that
need
in
that
school?
So
I
concur
with
what
he
he
has
here.
For
this,
the.
P
From
the
policy
I
can
say
one:
let's
keep
order
that
has
visited
a
school
in
the
past
four
to
eight
years
and
I
find
that
a
problem,
because
we
have
been
entrusted
with
Charleston
County
schools
and
we
need
checks
and
balances
and
we
need
order
and
I
would
never
want
to
go
into
a
school
without
a
principal's
acknowledgment
or
the
superintendent
knowing
but
I've
been
getting
emails
from
schools
wanting
us
to
come
and
visit.
So
you
know
I
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
understand
why
he
has
changed
or
implementing
those
policy
changes.
P
I
D
Permit
permission
but
I'm
sorry,
doctor.
D
Or
but
it
so
I'm,
a
linear
thinker
and
I
apologize
trust,
my
wife
nuts,
but
but
so
I
I'm
stuck
on
a
timeline
here.
So
today
is
January
the
9th,
if
I
decided
yesterday
after
five
in
the
evening
that
I
wanted
to
visit
Wando
High
School,
which
is
near
my
my
I,
couldn't
add
that
to
the
agenda
for
today's
discussion,
which
means
my
desire
to
visit
or
maybe
I,
have
a
good
reason.
There
was
a
some
reason
I
needed
to
want
to
visit,
want
to
high
school
on
January.
D
The
8th
I
have
to
now
wait
until
the
first
Monday
of
February
to
make
that
request
at
Cal.
That
has
to
go
to
the
end
of
no
no
board
authorization.
That's
the
the
the
policy
initially
says
only
under
board
authorization
and
with
full
knowledge
of
staff
and
superintendent.
So
if
I
want
board
authorization
and
the
board
has
to
vote
so
that
means
end
of
February.
D
M
About
a
separate
change
did
that
answer
what
you
needed:
Finance
okay,
is.
M
So
the
question
about
this
policy
is
or
I
guess
the
concern
that
I
have
so
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
visitation.
In
fact,
in
my
experience,
I've
always
felt
we
should,
you
know,
be
able
to
have
a
little
bit
more
flexibility
visiting.
M
However,
I
do
have
a
you
know,
a
slight
concern
about
the
going
to
individual
Chiefs
for
information
and
and
even
going
beyond
the
superintendent
to
a
principal
about
school
visits,
because
I
just
think
that
that
could
become
problematic,
I
think
as
a
manager
I
would
not
want
someone
external
or
you
know,
someone
who
supervises
me
talking
to
people
that
I
supervise
about
any
sort
of
work,
because
I
would
want
to
be
able
to
manage
that.
M
And
so
my
concern
is
that
it
could
become
a
little
bit
cumbersome
for
a
person,
who's
managing
other
folks
to
not
even
know
that
they're
Superior
is,
you
know,
following
up
with
people
that
they
directly
supervise
and
additionally
as
we're
getting
ready
to
embark
on
a
superintendent
search.
You
know
folks,
who
are
really
competent
at
what
they
do
expect
to
be
given
the
professional
courtesy
to
manage
the
people
that
they
manage
and
so
I'm
just
concerned
that
it
could
also
not
look
very
inviting
as
we're
embarking
on
the
search.
M
And
so
you
know,
I
I'm,
not
you
know,
I,
don't
have
an
issue
with
you
know
going
on
school
visits,
but
even
the
idea
that
we
would
demand
a
response
in
12
hours,
there's
so
many
things
that
a
superintendent
is
tackling
yeah,
right
and
I
think
they're
going
to
try
for
the
most
part
to
get
on
it.
But
we
have
to
trust
them
to
do
that
and
to
put
them
on
some
sort
of
time.
Constraint
could
just
appear
to
be
an
unnecessary
hurdle
in
in
someone's
daily
work.
E
A
I
ask
Mr
Kennedy
in
light
of
what
she's
asking
with
you
having
so
much
on
your
plate
already,
do
you
want
to
be
responsible
to
approve
every
single
request
we
make
to
go,
see,
schools
or
go
to
the
principal,
that's
actually
running
the
school.
L
So
the
question
I
want
to
have
is
this,
so
these
policies
have
been
in
place
for
quite
some
time
and
so
have
so.
For
instance,
information
requests
coming
through
the
superintendent
coming
to
the
superintendent
through
the
superintendent
versus
going
to
staff.
I.
Think
I
saw
here
at
least
heard
a
word
or
saw
a
word
that
says:
bottleneck
I
mean
have
there
been
bottlenecks
associated
with
getting
information
to
the
school
board,
so
is
there?
L
Is
there
a
problem
that
we're
trying
to
address
that
we
have
or
not,
let's
say,
I'm
the
superintendent
well
Adamson
intended
and
there's
a
problem
that
the
board
is
has
been
unable
to
get
data
information
I
haven't
heard
that
so
that's!
So
that's
one
question:
are
we
what
what
problem
are
we
addressing
here
and
then
in
terms
of
visiting
schools?
L
I
agree
with
the
the
opinions
here
that
I've
heard
that
board
members
I
probably
should
be
in
schools
and
if
it's
been,
if
some
of
the
the
protocols
set
up
for
that
has
been
sort
of
like
prevention,
prevents
it
from
being
affected,
efficient
and
I.
L
Think
we
should
address
that
and
if
I'm
a
if
I'm
a
school
person
I
mean
I'm,
the
superintendent
I
just
never
show
up
in
a
school,
because
it's
inappropriate
for
me
to
show
up
without
without
some
type
of
protocols
associated
with
the
principle.
Knowing
so
I
think
it's
it's
appropriate
to
figure
out
how
to
be
more
efficient
well.
But
it's
also
I
think
appropriate.
Appropriate
to
address
changes
that
that
to
implement
changes
that
address
specific
problems
that
actually
exist
versus
what
might
potentially
exist
foreign.
D
So
I'm
trying
to
track
the
number
of
questions
so
I
want
to
make
sure
I
answer
them
correctly.
So
this
Waters
I
was
your
concern
in
regard
to
the
the
information
or
the
visitation.
I
wasn't.
J
D
Understood
and
so
I
just
I
I,
you
make
a
good
point:
the
12
hours
I
actually
I
mentioned
I'm
open
to
that
like
we
can
discuss
what
seems
to
be
reasonable,
but
like
what
Dr
Temple
said,
a
smart
goal
has
a
timeline
all
of
them
do,
and
so,
if
we're
gonna
it
in
fact
I
believe.
D
Don't
quote
me
on
this
I
met.
The
initial
policy
may
have
said
a
reasonable
time,
and,
and
one
of
the
feedback
was
well
who
defines
reasonable
what's
reasonable,
and
so
you
do
have
to
have
something
measurable
if
you're
going
to
set
an
expectation.
So
that
was
the
attempt
to
make
it
measurable.
It
could
be
within
a
week
if,
if
y'all
are,
that
would
seem
unreasonable
to
me,
but
but
that's
open
for
debate,
no
problem
on
that.
D
One
and
I
also
included
this
statement
that
that
I
I'm
saying
Mr
Kennedy,
but
the
superintendent
should
be
copied
because
he
is
the
supervisor
as
a
manager.
He
is
the
supervisor
of
that
employee,
but
I'm,
a
manager
myself
as
well
and
and
I
find
it
frustrating
personally
when
I
get
emails
that
should
have
gone
to
one
of
the
people.
I
like
just
ask
him
he's
there,
like
you,
know
I,
so
I,
guess
it
just
isn't
it's
a
preferential
thing,
I
suppose
neither
right
nor
wrong,
but
I
hear
your
concern.
D
I
I
think
the
and
and
Mr
Kennedy
to
the
not
to
move
too
far
past.
That
thought
the
the
problem
that
we're
solving
I'm,
not
sure
that
that
I
have
not
heard
any
complaints
about
you
or
your
office
being
a
bottleneck.
This
was
more
of
a
trying
to
give
the
board
who
is
entrusted
with
the
care
of
the
schools.
I
I,
just
keep
coming
back
to
that.
D
That's
the
state
law
reads
the
ability
to
gather
situational
Awareness
on
the
schools
that
they
are
entrusted
to
care
with,
for
it's
not
a
problem
that
I'm
aware
of
yet,
but
from
a
matter
of
efficiency,
it
would
seem
more
efficient
for
me
to
go
to
the
source
rather
than
an
intermediary,
and
the
term
bottleneck
in
there
is
certainly
not
an
insult
to
you
or
your
or
your
office.
Like
I,
said,
I've
heard
no
complaints.
G
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
happens
with
communication
is
trying
to
get
the
answer
to
a
question
and
having
an
openness
here
to
commute
be
able
to
communicate
so
I
appreciated
this
policy
I
agree
that
it's
good
practice,
if
we're
asking
something
of
a
staff
member
to
copy
the
superintendent
I
think
12
hours
is
a
little
restricted
depending
on
you.
Just
never
know
what
the
circumstances
for
that
particular
employee.
So
that
seemed
a
little
unrealistic
to
me
in
this
policy.
G
I,
really
like
the
freeing
up
our
our
ability
to
visit
schools,
because,
like
Leah
mentioned,
when
you
go
to
a
school,
you
see
a
lot
of
issues
and
problems
that
maybe
somebody
else
didn't
have
the
eyes
to
see
and
and
if
we're
about
trying
to
solve
problems.
G
You
know,
responding
I
send
out
an
email
to
all
the
principals
in
my
district
and
I
know
they're,
not
opening
it,
and
that
bothers
me,
because
communication
is
really
important
and
I
think
that
if
we
can
send
a
message
that
we
are,
you
know,
elected
to
serve
the
schools
and
and
support
the
schools.
But
we
have
to
be
able
to
communicate
with
them
as
well.
D
So
just
I
I,
as
you
were
speaking
Dr
Temple
I,
one
other
concern,
I,
believe
Mr
Kenny
may
have
raised
or
but
in
in
coordinating
with
the
principles,
the
the
revised
policy
or
the
policy
proposal.
Revision
proposal
does
state
that
the
board
members
should
coordinate
with
principles
and
appropriate
staff.
So
it
certainly
is
not
a
an
open
invitation
to
an
open
invitation
to
drop
in
on
any
school.
At
any
point,
that
was
that's,
certainly
not
the
intent.
A
And
also
I
would
like
to
dovetail
on
what
this
Dr
Temple
was
was
saying.
One
of
the
things
that
I
campaigned
on
and
committed
to
was,
and
I
reached
out
to
miss
Huggins
was
to
be
able
to
contact
the
principals
with
an
invitation
to
meet
with
the
principals,
the
teachers
and
the
parents
quarterly,
so
that
I
could
on
the
ground,
listen
to
the
schools
in
my
District
about
what
they
need
and
what
they're
concerned
about
and
then
bring
it
to
the
board
as
an
advocate
for
them.
A
G
D
And
and
the
intent
here
and
I
think
what
Mr
Kennedy
was
getting
at
was
that
that
that's
that
the
or
I
Believe
Miss
Roberson
also
mentioned
it
that
the
policy,
at
least
as
I
I
think
was
originally
understood,
was
meant
to
be
permissive,
but
it's
written
in
a
way
that
isn't
right,
and
so
the
the
intent
here
is
really
to
clarify
what
I
think
the
heart
of
the
policy
was
actually
getting
at
and
and
to
build
some
guard
rails
to
protect
the
students
to
protect
the
you
know
with
the
90
days
to
protect
the
school
so
that
they're
not
overrun,
and
when
we
were
about
halfway
through
walking
through
that
school,
on
Friday
I
thought
to
myself.
D
I
think
I'm
violating
policy
right
now
now
I
know
that
Mr
broey
had
had
coordinated
with
the
principal
I,
don't
know
if
Mr
Kennedy
was
aware,
it
was
actually
Mr.
Broey
suggested
it.
When
we
were
about
to
walk
out
of
Lincoln
High
School,
he
goes
hey.
Why
don't
you
come
see
this
other
one
we're
talking
about
the
should
matter,
rehabbing
versus
new
builds
and
all
that
stuff,
and
he
goes
hey.
D
There's
this
one
down
the
street
that
we
just
rehabbed
and
then
we
walked
in,
he
goes:
hey
Miss,
Dr
principal
is
expecting
us,
and
but
anyhow
as
I
was
walking
through.
There
I
was
like
the
the
assistant
principal
that
was
The
Pride
that
she
took.
D
By
the
fact
that
Lee
and
I
were
in
her
building
was
just
I
and
she
was
the
just
the
most
adorable
like
lady
in
the
whole
wide
world
and
and
wanted
us
to
meet
every
single
teacher.
And
she
was
just
beyond
thrilled
that
we
were
present
in
her
building
and,
and
that
is
really
the
heart
of
what
I'm.
Getting
after.
With
this
policy.
D
J
D
J
L
So
you
know,
ask
you
all
so
again:
I
agree,
100
board
members
should
be
in
school
and
school
buildings
in
schools
and,
as
you
visit
schools,
I
would
ask
you
to
consider
the
things
that
you
look
at.
So
you
obviously
you're
going
to
look
at
what
what's
going
on
in
the
classroom.
Defense
that
you
I
think
you
said
up
at
at
school
and
there
was
a
lack
of
a
music
teacher
and
so
I
would.
L
And
that's
right:
well,
the
tables
we've
got
tables
in
there,
but
the
promise
from
a
system
standpoint.
L
What
are
some
of
the
system
issues
out
there
that
that
result
in
a
school,
a
small
school,
not
having
a
music
teacher
so
and
we've
already
done
a
study
that
shows
across
the
entire
school
system
in
in
the
Middle
School,
the
small
schools
are
able
to
generate
enough
resources
to
be
able
to
have
a
Full
Slate
of
programming,
and
so,
as
you
visit
schools
and
you
think
about
what
needs
to
happen
from
a
system
standpoint
is
what
happens
when
these
happen
in
the
classroom.
What
needs
to
happen
with
the
table?
N
Yes
ma'am,
so
we
do.
We
want
to
ask
Mr
Kelly
to
consider
making
the
edits
that
were
suggested
and
that
you
agreed
with
and
then
bring
it
to
the
board
meeting.
Is
that
a
pro
perhaps
Define.
E
D
B
D
Dr
Temple's
suggestions,
I
I,
think
we
should
remove
the
line
the
about
the
the
employee
of
the
board,
supervises,
it
doesn't
add
anything
or
take
away
anything.
The
other.
The
grammatical
error,
no
problem,
General.
Q
The
best
way
would
be
for
somebody
to
make
a
motion
to
a
man
and
he
can
accept
your
Amendment
as
a
friendly
Amendment,
which
makes
it
easy.
But
if
you
know
what
you
want
to
a
man,
then
I
you
could
make
a
motion
now.
So
then,
when
you
move
to
send
it
to
the
board,
it
has
that
Amendment
already
in
there.
D
So
I
move
to
make
a
motion
to
accept,
accept
Dr
Temple's,
both
amendments,
removing
the
line
about
the
board,
the
employee
supervisors,
as
well
as
making
the
grammatical
change
to
item
one
with
the
verb
and.
A
L
E
L
So
yeah,
but
my
part,
my
my
point
is
that
I
have
a
professional
staff.
There's
a
professional
staff
here,
I'm
a
professional
I,
would
expect
if
and
I
I'm
I'm
I'm
very
comfortable
with
a
inquiry
going
directly
to
a
chief
officer
and
I'm,
also
so
very
comfortable
that,
knowing
that
Mr
Roy
is
going
to
respond
as
quickly
as
possible,
it's
not
going
to
be
drawn
out.
I.
L
Professionals
well,
I'm,
not
comfortable
with,
is
a
a
a
timeline.
Well,
that
timeline
is
12
hours
or
a
full
week.
If,
if
we
put
in
the
policy,
that's
going
to
be
a
week-
and
you
know
an
inquiry
goes
to
Miss
Williams
as
Chief
Financial
Officer
I
expect
her
to
unless
there's
some
really
complex
thing.
Some
extraordinary
situation
I
expect
her
to
respond
well
within
a
week
and
that's
the
same
with
any
any
staff
member
in
the
district.
L
So
to
put
an
arbitrary
timeline
in
whether
it's
12
hours
or
24,
or
a
full
week
it
it
it
it
it
I,
guess
it
it
it
it
it
puts
in
the
question.
For
me
the
the
the
question
about
professionalism,
and
so
that's
why
I
asked
the
question
earlier.
Has
there
been
you
know
a
a
extensive
problem
with
data
coming
through
the.
A
L
Well,
I'm,
I'm
speaking
to
professionalism
which
I've
seen.
A
E
D
Well
so
again
the
the
and
I'll
just
read
it
for
anyone
who
is
such
requests
should
be
responded
to
within
a
with
any
appropriate
information
being
disclosed
within
a
standard
and
reasonable
time.
A
A
Mr
Kelly's
motion
still
stands
so
can
Mr
Kelly?
Can
we
wrap
this
up?
It
would
and
take
go
ahead
and
make
your
motion
and,
in
light
of
Mr
Kennedy's
comments.
J
D
M
J
D
N
D
I'm,
no
problem
with
that
in
here.
Thank
you.
I
was
trying
to
stay
within
the
rules.
So
no
problem
with
that,
but
the
question
to
the
parliamentarian
would
be:
can
we
accept
a
policy
that
does
not
have
that
Define?
So?
Can
we
accept
that
the
policy
written
as
in
with
blank
question
mark
working
hours.
Q
Well,
you
can,
you
could
take
it
out
of
the
policy
and
move
it
on
to
the
board.
If
that's
what
you
want
to
do
and
then
in
the
meantime,
try
to
come
up
with
something
that
you
know
would
be
what
the
board
would
be
more
receptive
to,
because
you
can
amend
it
when
it
gets
to
the
board.
So,
okay.
J
E
N
D
Okay,
let
me
get
back
up
to
it.
E
D
N
G
N
And
then
are
you
suggesting
that
we
eliminate
in
the
under
the
school
board
information
request,
you're,
suggesting
we
eliminate
what
is
in
parentheses?
Yes,
okay,
okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Can
can
is
everybody
comfortable
with
this
extra
Julie
condensing
the
motion
we
all
understand
what
we're
voting
on
is
everybody
comfortable.
Q
With
that
I
think
Mr
Dr
Temple
has
has
it
written
down.
Okay,
I.
J
J
Q
On
other
boards,
I've
served
on
what
they
require
is
if
you
are
going
to
make
an
amendment
which
we're
kind
of
you
know
getting
into
the
flow
here
that
you
do
it
on
a
piece
of
paper,
basically
so
that
it
is
written
down,
and
that
will
help
our
clerks
a
lot.
Certainly.
G
While
we're
waiting
for
that
to
get
processed
should
I
make
a
suggestion
that
when
we
revise
policies
that
we
either
use
track
changes
or
highlight,
so
we
can
quickly
see
the
changes.
I
spent
a
lot
of
time,
trying
to
look
word
for
word
to
make
sure
I
wasn't
missing.
Something
certainly.
D
D
D
E
G
D
A
Okay,
going
forward
before
we
get
to
the
item
4B
when
we
go
to
make
comments,
we're
going
to
follow
policy
and
each
person.
A
N
A
So
try
to
think
of
all
the
angles,
all
the
things
that
you
want
to
say
in
that
two
minutes
going
forward
and
then
I.
If,
if
we
need
to
start
that
round
robin
over
again,
we
will
so
Mr
Kelly
I'm
gonna,
open
it
back
up
to
you
to
take
us
into
item
4B.
A
B
B
A
Okay,
so
here's
the
motion
motion
I'm
just
going
to
revisit
this
since
we
took
that
recess.
A
D
Fault
so.
J
E
D
E
A
J
G
D
A
D
Thank
you,
Miss
Wiley,
all
right,
so
a
brief
overview
of
this
policy.
Amendment
no
language
is
removed
from
this
policy.
We
are
adding
the
second
paragraph
and
the
bullet
points
underneath
that
permit
a
board
member
to
volunteer
to
open
a
board
meeting
in
prayer.
D
Notably
this
is
the
same
language.
That's
found
elsewhere
in
the
Charleston
County
School
Board,
Charleston,
High,
School,
District
policy,
permitting
the
coaches
and
players
to
pray
before
sporting
events.
D
It
also
is
backed
up
by
a
number
of
state
laws
and
Supreme
Court
decisions,
as
well
as
one
Circuit
Court
appeals
decision.
That's
where
most
of
that
language
comes
from.
A
A
G
Comments
well,
I'll
start.
The
question
I
have
is
paragraph
two
in
the
policy
policy
necessary
since
it
precedes
business
and
is
not
part
of
the
public
business.
In
my
opinion,
a
board
member
who
wants
to
have
a
prayer
can
do
that
as
an
individual
opening.
The
meeting
with
the
pledge
in
a
moment
of
silence
and
reflection
is
satisfactory.
I,
don't
believe
that
this
policy
is
necessary.
P
The
microphone
yes
I,
think
if
that's
something
that
the
whole
board
is
on
board
with
that
we
should
be
able
to
pray
outwardly
only
thing
that
I
have
a
problem
with.
Is
this
prayer
of
invocation
May
reference,
God
or
the
almighty,
but
may
not
reference
Jesus,
Jesus,
Christ,
Christ,
savior
or
Peter
Saint,
so
I
don't
understand
why
we're
singling
out
the
Christianity
when
if
a
person
was
Muslim
and
they
wanted
to
pray
to
Allah,
that's
not
struck
out
here
so
I
mean
there's
nothing
to
say
someone
can't
say
Buddha
or
Confucius.
P
You
know
I
mean
you
get
to
just,
but
why
is
Jesus
Christ
singled
out.
M
Miss
Waters,
I
I
would
agree
with
Carol
on
the
necessary
part.
M
I
think
that
what
we
end
up
stepping
into
is
sort
of
personal
conviction,
but
we're
we're
governing
an
entire
system
of
people
who
don't
all
subscribe
to
the
same
Faith
and
the
moment
of
silence
gives
people
the
opportunity
to
pray
to
talk
to
acknowledge
whatever
higher
power
that
they
do
subscribe
to,
and
so
I
think
that
if
this
were
presented
as
an
option,
I
think
my
issue
is
the
language
that
says
a
local
Faith
leader
should
be
invited,
but
perhaps
that
it
could
be
an
option
if
you
are
in
a
sort
of
homogeneous
environment
but
you're
not
always
going
to
be
in
a
homogenous
environment.
D
A
D
Notable
change
and
what's
displayed
on
the
screen,
the
the
preamble's
been
removed
from
the
policy
and
the
notable
change
between
the
draft
that
you're
looking
at
and
the
one
in
your
hands
is
that
it's
a
volunteer
board
member
or
board
member
May
volunteer
not
shall
but
may
volunteer
versus
a
faith
leader
being
invited.
M
Gotcha
gotcha,
okay,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
acknowledge
that
this
district
is
just
not
homogeneous
and
I
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
step
on
anybody's,
toes
and
just
underscore
what
Dr
Temple
said,
which
is
at
the
moment
of
silence,
is
intended
to
cover
that
and
so
I
don't
have
an
issue
with
language
being
there.
That
says
someone
may
volunteer,
but
just
want
to
make
sure
that
if
anything
becomes
normal
practice
of
a
governing
body,
it
has
to
take
into
account
that
it
governs.
You
know
a
non-homogenous
environment.
D
And
notably
on
that
note
as
well,
the
Charleston
County.
D
The
District
I'm,
sorry
the
County
Board.
This
is
the
same
language
that
they
similar
languages
they
hold
because
this
language
actually
comes
from,
and
this
is
to
carlotta's
Point
as
well.
This
language
comes
from
the
fourth
circuit
I
believe
it
is
fourth
Circuit
Court
of
Appeals
those.
Those
bullet
points
are
right
out
of
the
fourth
circuit
brief,
but
but
that
is
the
same.
Charleston
County
as
a
as
a
county,
also
open
to
their
meetings
in
the
prayer.
A
Well,
I'll
also
interject
that
our
Congress
opens
in
prayer,
as
well
as
our
House
of
Representatives.
A
It's
an
individual
board
member
choosing
to,
instead
of
be
silent
to
openly,
say
a
prayer.
D
And
and
your
understanding
is
correct,
that
also
comes
from
the
fourth
circuit
opinion.
A
And
I
believe
Mr
Kennedy
pointed
out
at
a
previous
meeting
that
the
moment
of
silence
is
typically
for
the
Dead.
The
remembrance
of
the
Dead.
A
D
D
I'd
have
to
leave
that
up
to
the
parliamentarian
to
Define
What
official
business
is
to
find
as
but
it
would,
it
would
fall
into.
It
would
fall
right
there
at
the
same
time
or
right
before
right
after
something
like
that.
D
The
order
again
we'd
have
to
probably
seek
legal
opinion
on
that
Miss.
P
So
basically,
this
would
require
us
seeing
just
a
general
prayer.
Not
we
would
not
be
recognizing
any
entity
except
almighty,
God.
E
D
That's
the
way
the
fourth
circuit
opinion
reads:
yes,.
E
A
In
a
in
a
oh,
no,
an
oppressive
manner,
actually
a
restrictive
because
it
only
references
Christianity,
it
doesn't
prohibit
any
other
faiths
from
invoking
their
deity
deity
or
I.
I.
Don't
know
if
I
don't
know
if
Muslims
consider
Muhammad
a
deity
I
believe
they
consider
him
their
prophet,
but
they
I,
guess
I,
don't
know.
Q
Q
G
Why
not
I
mean
if
we're
a
diverse
system,
then
we
need
to
recognize
the
fact
that
we
have
diversity
and
we
have
people
who
have
different
face
and
points
of
view,
and
so
now
we're
restricting
an
individual's
rights
to
be
different.
A
I
think
what
what
it's
doing
is
it's
allowing
inclusion
for
everyone
who
has
is
a
person
of
faith
without
identifying
exactly
what
your
faith
is.
D
So
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
amend,
ready
motion
to
amend
the
second
bullet
to
end
the
sentence
after
the
quote
the
Almighty
and
remove
everything
else
in
that
bullet.
N
I
E
A
N
A
That's
a
lot
to
say:
I'm,
sorry,
Miss
paler,
one
more
time.
A
A
D
D
There's
the
track
changes
on
the
on
the
screen
that
are
accurate,
removed
the
phrase
and
whenever
a
new
member
is
sworn
in,
oh
I'm,
sorry
guys!
That's
an
old
version
too!
That's
I
will
do
better
I
promise.
I
will
do
better.
That's
on
me,
yep,
okay,
I'll,
read
it
the
officer
and
and
of
note
the
public
comments
that
didn't
like
this.
They
were
correct
by
the
way
and
it
wasn't
intended
that
way,
which
is
why
it's
changed
now.
D
So
it
reads:
the
the
officers
of
the
Board
of
Trustees
are
the
chairman,
Vice
chairman
and
secretary
Clerk
secretary
clerk,
the
term
of
the
office
of
the
chairman
of
Vice
chairman
shall
be
one
year
officer.
Elections
take
place
the
first
regular
board
meeting
in
November
in
each
subsequent
November
and
according
to
the
state,
South
Carolina
state
law,
section
59
1970
an
election
for
chairman
shall
be
held
as
soon
as
practical.
After
the
swearing
it
of
any
new
board
member,
all
officers
shall
be
elected
by
a
majority
vote
bacon
season
above
referenced
offices.
D
Shall
be
filled
at
the
board's
discretion?
The
only
changes
here
between
what
was,
and
what
is,
is
that
we
are
clarifying
that
the
state
law
requires
the
vote
on
board
chairman
and
vice
chairman,
and
not
every
committee
actually.
D
Chairman's
in
the
charter
that
created
the
district
from
the
70
1978.
G
Well,
when
I
pulled
this
section,
59
1970,
it
talked
about
the
chairman
and
the
other
is
the
clerk
of
the
board.
So
that's
not
the
same
language
as
in
BD.
So.
D
The
the
clerk
is
and
and
Mr
Taylor
you
could
speak
to
that.
We
had
a
long
conversation
about
that,
because
that
was
my
first
reading
as
well.
Clark.
F
Q
Yeah
taking
the
minutes,
so
it's
one
of
those
things
that
really
over
the
years
has
changed.
So
you
don't
have
a
board
member
taking
notes.
G
And
then
the
other
thing
too,
in
your
revised
policy
Let's
see
we
passed
it
out
from
the
original
to
this
revised
policy.
The
sentence
missing
is
the
secretary
slash.
Kirk
clerk
shall
have
no
vote.
That
was
in
the
original
and
it's
not
in
you're
revised.
G
At
the
very
end
of
secretary.
Q
G
D
G
D
E
N
D
They
the
they
were,
they
were
posted
on
Wednesday
and
are
the
originals
were
posted
on
Wednesday
and
then
after
feedback
from
the
board.
The
updates
were
posted
on
what
Friday
some.
O
Q
I
I
Okay-
and
my
second
question
is
the
original
I
believe
the
current
policy
says
that
and
I
think
this
is
what
the
public
was.
They
were
speaking
to
if
there's
a
new
board
member
you'll
have
an
election.
Is
that
in
here.
J
D
G
B
E
N
I
would
like
us
to
add
back
in
language
and
Mr,
Kelly
and
I
have
talked
about
this
in
paragraph
five.
N
General
counsel
shall
not
have
any
Authority
to
hire
or
fire
any
CCSD
employee
or
to
authorize
any
payments
by
the
district
unless
given
specific
Authority
by
the
superintendent
or
the
board
foreign.
Q
D
G
D
So
much
I
I,
just
I,
didn't
want
to
jump
out
of
turn
here
so
for
item
four
D.
This
is
bdg.
What
this
does.
This
brings
Clarity
to
what
was
a
point
of
confusion,
I
think
among
a
number
of
us
early
on
between
the
roles
of
general
counsel,
staff
attorney
and
in-house
attorney
or
yeah
and
house
attorney,
there's
been
a
number
of
different
terms
thrown
around.
So
this
is
a
an
attempt
to
bring
Clarity
to
roles
and
responsibilities.
D
The
legal
model
that
we're
going
after
here
I'm
not
sure
how
to
I'm,
not
sure,
there's
a
like
a
name
of
a
model
that
at
least
there's
not
one
I'm
aware
of
Dr
Temple.
That
I
could
talk
to
you
about.
But
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
we're
trying
to
define
the
role
of
general
counsel
and
there
is,
and
and
and
I
will
clarify
that
as
we've
gone
through,
this
and
I've
worked
with
a
number
of
different
attorneys,
including
Miss
Taylor,
on
getting
these
these.
D
My
my
intent
is
to
not
change
the
policy
but
bring
Clarity
to
what
I
believe
the
original
writing
was,
and
so
the
original
header
of
this
was
staff
attorney
general
counsel
or
staff
attorney
outside
counsel,
something
like
it
and
there
was
these
ambiguous
terms
used
that
were
used
once
in
one
paragraph
and
then
referencing
the
same
person
were
used
again,
and
so
there
was
this
lack
of
continuity
in
the
in
the
policy
that
made
it
confusing
and
I
and
I
think
that
led
to
some
other
problems.
D
So
the
intent
here
is
to
Simply
bring
Clarity
and
what
we're
defining
here.
The
way
that
this
is
shaken
out
is
the
general
counsel
is
an
outside
vendor.
They
are
a
in
this
case
Miss
paler
and
judge
Seymour.
They
are
a
brought
forward
by
the
superintendent
and
approved
by
the
board,
and
they
are
essentially
responsible
for
the
district's
legal
things
whatever
they
may
be.
D
There
also
may
be
staff
or
in-house
attorneys
that
work
as
CCSD
employees
and
they
coordinate
with
the
general
counsel
the
outside
vendor,
on
what
work
should
be
done
in-house
and
what
work
should
be
done
at
the
outside
vendors
firm.
In
order
for
the
The
General
Counsel
to
have
good
situational
awareness
around
the
totality
of
whatever's
going
on
in
the
district,
legally
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
That
was
kind
of
a
lot
there's
one
more
call
out
I
want
to
point
out,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
I
answer
your.
G
D
Fair
because
it's
taken
me
weeks
to
comb
through
so
the
intent
here
is
not
to
change
what's
currently
happening,
but
to
enshrine,
what's
currently
happening
in
policy.
So
as
far
as
I'm
aware,
Miss,
paler
judge
Seymour
the
other
folks
who
have
looked
at
this.
What
this
does
is
it
takes
what's
currently
happening
and
it
makes
it
legal
policy
legal.
Q
This
allows
the
board,
it
may
not
be
bored.
This
allows
the
district.
If
at
some
point
you
want
to
have
general
counsel
working
for
the
district
as
employee,
you
can
do
that
within
this
policy.
Also,
at
this
point
in
time,
it
was
determined
there's,
there's
such
a
a
critical
need
that
this
gives
you
a
lot
more
leeway
in
the
handling
of
legal
matters
within
the
district.
M
We
as
a
clarification
you
mentioned
that
that
general
counsel
is
outside
council.
Is
that,
did
you
mean
to
say
that.
M
M
And
so
my
question
would
be
what
my
understanding
is,
that
what's
currently
in
place
is
in
place
because
we're
in
a
a
moment
where
we're
looking
for
general
counsel.
So
what
is
the
need
to
enshrine
a
temporary
situation
where
typically,
general
counsel
in
the
in
history
has
been
a
staff
employee
and
in
fact,
the
last
time
we
approved
general
counsel
it
somehow
that
person
became
staff
attorney?
But
when
we
made
the
vote,
that
person
was
approved
as
general
counsel
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
why
we
need
to
enshrine
this
temporary
situation.
M
D
Understand
so,
if
plus,
which
I
thought
the
there
was
a
provision
in
the
original
policy,
I'm
trying
to
recall
what
it
was
that
made
me
believe
that
the
general
counsel
was
designed
to
be
not
a
staff,
employee
and
I
can't
recall
what
it
is
offhand
and
I
probably
should
have
taken
better
notes,
but
there
was
something
that
said:
I
do
with
hiring
and
firing
I
believe,
but
I
I
I
read
that
that
that
line
that
piece
to
say.
Oh,
they
meant
this
to
be
not
a
staff
person.
M
And
I'm
I
will
never
argue
the
sort
of
semantics
of
the
policy,
because
I
I
hadn't
read
in
line
for
line,
but
I
think
my
point
is
I,
don't
know
if
we
should
be
enshrining
what
is
happening
in
a
temporary
situation.
We
have
a
temporary
we.
You
know
a
lot
of
our
staffing
situation
is
very
temporary
and
so
I'm
just
not
quite
sure
why
we
need
to
make
any
of
it
permanent
or
if
we
should
seek
to
get
to
the
place
that
we
were
at
I.
M
Think
that
when
it
comes
to
The,
General
Counsel
being
an
outside
attorney,
you
know
I
I,
don't
know
if
that's
what
the
policy
said,
but
that's
not
what
historically
has
happened
and
I
think
we
should
be
asking
ourselves
why
it
would
even
be
necessary
that
we
have
a
permanent
situation
where
our
our
general
counsel
is
outside.
M
Of
the
district.
I,
don't
see
any
conflict
with
general
counsel.
Being
an
employee
of
the
district.
I
would
actually
see
that
as
a
reason
why
that
person
would
have
the
best
interests
of
the
districts
in
my
and
the
ability
to
have
a
line
of
sight
into
what's
occurring
in
the
district
different
than
an
outside
Council,
which
would
have
many
clients,
and
we
would
be
one
among
the
many
and
so
I'm
just
I'm
just
thinking.
M
D
A
fire
alarm
yeah!
No,
you
make
a
great
great
Point
and
I
I
will
say
the
my
experience
with
the
outside
Council.
It
seems
to
be
beneficial
to
have
the
wealth
of
resources
that
a
team
of
attorneys
can
bring
versus
a
single
attorney
with
law
clerks
and
such
that
are
working
for
them
as
if
we
were
to
employ
just
to
use
a
good
example.
D
If
we
were
to
have
Miss
payler
as
our
general
counsel,
she
has
other
staffers
who
work
with
and
for
her
who
might
be
expert
in
a
particular
piece,
so
I
I
think
it
makes
the
best
sense
for
the
district
to
have
that
wealth
and
that
breadth
behind
our
general
counsel.
But
I
certainly
hear
your
point:
you're
not
wrong.
Yeah.
M
Can
I
in
response,
so
our
general
counsel
has
always
had
the
ability
to
work
with
and
has
always
worked
with
many
outside
attorneys.
And
so,
if
we
needed
a
specific
area
of
expertise,
we
had
that
and
we've
had
many
litigators
that
our
general
counsel
worked
with
and
I
think
what
was
advantageous
about.
M
That
is
that
that
general
counsel
could
see
all
of
the
different
pieces
that
we're
working
for
the
district
and
there's
a
there's,
a
manager
that
again
is
working
on
the
district's
behalf
and
since
we're
in
this
language,
saying
that
general
counsel
outside
cannot
approve
vendor
agreements,
and
things
like
that.
That
actually
is
that
is
that
what
yeah.
M
But
I
think
I
think
in
general.
The
point
in
a
nutshell
is
that
even
our
general
counsel
has
the
ability
to
contract
attorneys,
who
have
some
sort
of
specification
yeah,
absolutely.
M
A
D
The
other
anybody
else
there's
two
other
changes
that
are
noteworthy
here.
The
other
one
is
that
all
accounting
Contra
any
contract,
that's
over
the
value
of
250
000,
goes
through
legal
scrutiny
before
it's
approved,
and
it
also
we
are
adding
the
we
remove.
The
original
language,
I
shouldn't
say
original
the
first
edit
about
the
board,
hiring
a
parliamentarian
specifically
and
adds
the
language
that,
in
the
event
that
the
board
as
a
whole
or
the
suit
or
the
chairman,
think
that
that's
necessary
for
a
board
meeting.
R
N
Like
to
move
that,
we
amend
policy
bdg
paragraph
five
to
include
given
specific
in
the
last
line
given
specific
Authority
by
the
superintendent
or
the
board.
A
I
have
this
is
what
I'm
reading
general
counsel
shall
not
have
any
authority
to
hire
or
fire
any
CCSD
employee
or
to
authorize
any
payments
by
the
district
unless
given
specific
Authority
by
the
superintendent
or
board
with
regard
to
settlement,
just
of
disputes.
D
So
that
there,
that
was
that.
C
D
J
G
A
It's
if
you,
if
you've,
looked
under
Beauty
the
item
4D.
J
J
G
E
J
A
That
that
sentence
on
paragraph
five
to
include
by
the
superintendent
or
the
board,
so
we
need
a
second
for
that
I'll.
Second,
it.
A
E
E
A
A
A
The
motion
carries
before
we
move
on
to
the
next
agenda
item.
Julie:
are
you
able
to
just
refresh
my
memory
of
those
four
policies
which
ones
received
unanimous,
unanimous
approval
and
which
ones
didn't.
H
H
A
D
Yes,
yes,
so
the
message
from
the
message
from
Keith
was
something
to
the
effect
of
tell
the
board
to
pay
attention
to
the
action
items.
I
I,
that's
about
what
I
can
recall
right
now.
D
The
there's
I
think
it
was
58
or
59
pages
that
were
delivered
on
Thursday,
late,
Friday,
okay
and
and
more
today,
and
there
was
there's
little
time
to
go
over
it
all,
and
so
they
because
the
finance
meeting
is
tomorrow
before
after
the
committee
of
the
whole
Keith
was
not
confident
that
he'd
be
able
to
provide
a
a
good
advice
to
the
board.
When
we
go
to
vote
so
pay
attention
to
those
action
items.
D
He
said
there's
about
10
million
dollars
or
something
being
asked
for
currently,
and
so
we
just
got
to
do
our
homework
before
the
board
meeting.
Since
we
don't
have
a
finance
committee
meeting
to
advise
us
before
the
beforehand,
that's
the
gist
of
it.
S
Okay,
so
I'm
happy
to
walk
through
the
items
on
the
agenda
tonight
with
the
committee
of
the
whole
members.
As
indicated
on
the
agenda.
B
S
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
So
the
first
item,
which
is
an
action
item,
is
the
FY
2324
Head
Start
Early
Head
Start
continuation
budget.
This
is
an
annual
submission
and
what
this
is
is
the
district
requesting
for
federal
funding
for
the
Head
Start
Early,
Head,
Start
and
CD
program.
So
our
funding
has
been
flat,
meaning
there
hasn't
been
an
increase
or
decrease
over
the
last
several
years.
So
last
year's
request
was
9.6
million.
This
year's
request
is
9.8
million,
and
what
what
this
request?
I'm?
Sorry,
10.8
million.
What
this
request
does
is
it.
S
It
goes
into
what
Ms
Foxworth
can
Foxworth
had
met
with
you
all
to
discuss
about
expanding
the
early
childhood,
and
so
what
this
10.8
million
dollars
does?
Is
it
allocates
more
resources
to
Early,
Head
Start
and
we're
taking
alternate
funding
source
called
surdep,
which
is
an
alternate
funding?
Source
awarded
forehead
start
to
offset
the
cost,
and
so
this
isn't
anything,
that's
not
an
annual
review.
So
what
Head
Start
budget
covers
is
the
staff
and
the
support
and
supplies
needed
to
run
the
Head
Start
programs
in
the
district.
A
A
Some
things
that
raised
flags
for
him
and
he
wanted
us
to
have
a
little
bit
more
time
to
really
look
at
the
different
action
items
that
you're
asking
us
to
just
approve
so
much
money
for
and
especially
since
there
were,
just
as
he
was
able
to
and
he's
just
glancing
over.
He
hasn't
had
time
to
actually
look
at
the
material
and
I
am
in
agreement
with
him.
A
S
S
Ma'am.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
The
second
item
is
the
approval
of
projects
over
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
This
is
another
standing
item.
This
actually
is
a
component
of
the
policy
that
you
report
that
you
revised
earlier
to
have
legal
counsel,
do
legal
sufficiency
over
this
list,
and
so
this
was
brought
to
the
board
introduced
to
the
district
relatively
new,
this
particular
fiscal
year.
It's
intended
to
give
oversight
and
transparency
into
procurements
over
the
amount
of
250
thousand
dollars.
What
you
approved
tonight
in
policy,
the
legal
sufficiency
review.
S
That's
a
secondary
review
of
all
the
contracts
to
make
sure
the
district's
interests
are
represented
properly
in
each
of
the
contracts.
So
the
list
that
we
are
providing
tonight
there
are
12
items,
totaling,
22.7
million
dollars
and
just
for
historical
context.
What
typically
makes
it
to
this
list
is
most
of
the
construction
and
maintenance
projects
because
of
the
large
dollar
values
that
are
attached
to
it
and
any
large
software
purchases
Etc.
But
this
is
a
comprehensive
list
of
all
procurements
over
250
000
in
this
list.
S
We
also
detail
what
procurement
vehicle
we
used,
whether
it
was
competitive
bids,
sole
source,
emergency
Etc,
and
you
are
able
to
ask
questions
or
deep
dive
into
any
of
those
particular
items.
This
is
another
standard
report
that
we're
offering
for
review
the
fixed
cost
of
ownership.
The
FY
23
budget,
reallocation
I,
would
refer
to
Mr
borowi.
For
this
particular
item.
K
Thank
you,
Mr
Ms
Williams,
so
this
this
item
is
a
reallocation
of
688
000
of
the
51
million
dollar
budget,
it's
out
of
contingency,
so
we
set
aside
contingency
at
the
beginning
of
every
fiscal
year.
In
the
event
of
an
emergency,
we
are
over
85
percent,
expended
of
all
of
our
fixed
costs
of
ownership,
we're
more
than
halfway
through
the
year.
So
we're
simply
looking
at
allocating
a
portion
of
that
contingency
money
to
three
needed
programs,
facility
management,
fixed
Furniture
fixtures
and
equipment
in
the
media
center.
K
S
You
thank
you
Mr
Rory.
The
next
item
is
the
audit
and
finance
committee
Charter.
So
in
the
audit
and
finance
committee
Charter,
there's
language
that
we
will
review
the
charter
on
an
annual
basis
to
put
any
to
revise
it,
make
modifications
and
I'll
give
you
an
example.
Last
year
we
revised
the
charter
to
include
language
about
Gatsby
54,
which
was
a
result
from
our
Auditors,
our
external
Auditors,
coming
in
to
say,
hey,
we
think
you
should
include
additional
language.
S
We
just
Diversified
the
comments
in
that
particular
Charter
in
that
particular
section
of
the
charter
this
year.
What
we
we
are
not
revising
any
of
the
content
except
for
the
deliverables
table.
So
we
take
a
look
at
each
one
of
the
deliverables
that
that
are
due
in
the
audit
and
finance
committee
on
a
monthly
basis.
We
review
them
to
make
sure
they're
it's
an
accurate
depiction
of
what
we
are
bringing
to
audit
finance.
That
is
the
only
change
that
was
made
to
the
Charter.
K
I
can
go
ahead
and
take
that.
So
this
is
a
redistribution,
not
a
reallocation
of
funds.
Once
we
get
sales
tax
money
in
hand,
we
do
not
need
to
borrow
money.
In
this
case.
We
are
starting
this
program
early,
so
we
borrowed
money
to
begin
the
program.
We're
staying
within
each
project
amount
we're
simply
taking
the
the
funds
that
we
receive
this
fiscal
year
and
reallocating
it
as
we
are
spending
it.
K
So
we're
not
asking
for
funding
we're
simply
reallocating
funding
that
we
already
have
within
the
existing
project
amounts
for
the
those
that
are
listed.
There's
23
projects
and
tasks
listed
on
the
attachment.
A
I'll,
just
I
just
want
to
comment
on
that.
I
visited
the
Cs
cas
in
West
Ashley,
which
was
a
part
of
that
program
that
sales,
tax
and
I
have
to
say
what
an
awesome
investment
that
was
yeah.
S
You,
the
next
item,
is
the
monthly
capital
projects
report
and
just
to
give
you
background
on
a
monthly
basis,
we
provide
a
snapshot
of
all
of
the
projects,
the
phases,
this
expenditures
to
date,
where
we
are
with
the
conclusion
of
the
expenditures
for
each
project
and
Ms
Joyce
Costello,
is
on
Zoom
she'll,
be
covering
that
with
you
all
today.
Thank
you.
R
Our
Revenue
collections
for
the
current
month
were
5.1
million
dollars
above
our
model,
which
is
a
two
percent
increase.
Our
expenditures
for
the
2010
through
2016
Capitol
Building
program
were
zero.
Our
expenditures
for
the
2017
through
2022
Capitol
Building
program,
where
2.2
million
the
expenditures
for
the
2023
through
2028
Capitol
Building
program
for
1.2
million,
the
2023
through
2028
Capital
program,
funded
with
long-term
debt.
The
expenditures
were
38
000
this
month.
R
Our
fixed
cost
of
ownership
fiscal
year
23
program
is
in,
has
commenced
and
is
moving
forward
and
next
month
we
hope
to
bring
you
a
fixed
cost
of
ownership
fiscal
year.
24
project
list
for
your
approval,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Anyone
may
have.
I
Okay,
I'm
just
going
to
ask
this
question
in
very
Layman
terms.
This
Capital
project
report
does
it.
It
outlines
all
of
the
capital
projects
for
the
district,
yes
ma'am,
and
how
do
you
determine
which
projects
are
number
one,
two
three
four
and
which
projects
number
100
through
150.?
How
do
you
rate
your
projects.
K
So
ma'am
it
depends
on
on
which
program
you're,
you're
speaking
about
specifically
on
the
sales
tax
Capital
Construction
program.
The
previous
board
voted
on
waves
of
projects,
so
we
did
not
number
the
projects
one
through
a
hundred.
We
numbered
the
projects
in
groupings
of
three
so
that
we
didn't
have
to
get
into
what's
a
higher
party
project
five
or
project
six,
there
was
no
real
reason
to
do
that,
because
they're
all
executed
within
a
a
time
frame
a
reasonable
time
frame,
not
a
one
after
the
other.
K
So
the
the
board
two
years
ago
prioritized
the
projects
that
were
beginning
in
Phase
five
by
wave,
the
previous
sales
tax
was
done
back
in
2015
or
so
along
those
same
lines.
Fixed
cost
of
ownership
projects,
which
is
another
big
bucket
of
projects,
are,
are
executed
within
a
given
year.
So
there's
no
necessity
to
identify
which
price
get
executed
when
the
board
approves
the
overall
projects
list,
as
Ms
Costello
mentioned,
this
coming
list
will
come
up
in
February
for
the
next.
The
next
year
is
that.
I
It
does
so
if
I
look
at
this,
listen
I'm,
looking
at
the
schools
in
my
district
and
they
aren't
in
this
wave
I
need
to
look
to
see
what
wave
they're
in
all.
I
On
what
budget
we're
looking
at
correct.
K
So,
if
you're,
looking
at
the
phase
five
sales
tax,
which
is
the
one
we've
just
begun,
the
projects
are
not
listed
in
wave
order.
I
can
either
give
you
the
reference
to
the
Google.
The
cat,
the
board,
Google,
drive
or
I
can
send
that
document
in
that
shows
the
waves
and
when
those
projects
we
will
be.
A
Done
I
think
I
kind
of
have
it
a
little
understanding
of
what
you're
trying
to
ask.
If
you
don't
mind,
I
think
what
she
may
be
trying
to
ask
is
if
she
has
a
school
in
her
District
that
is
in
need
and
has
perhaps
being
neglected.
How
do
we
get
that
school
included
in
the
the
phasing.
K
So
the
under
the
sales
tax
program,
those
projects
for
Capital
Construction,
are
already
listed
by
School
in
the
sales
tax
reference.
There's
no
adjustments
that
could
be
made
if
the
project
is
not
on
the
list.
If
it's
a
capital
maintenance
project,
what
we
typically
do
for
the
capital
maintenance
projects
is
we
look
at
all
of
the
district
facilities
across
the
board
by
Building,
Systems
and
rate
them
every
year,
so
we
take
a
particular
school
and
rate
it
based
on
the
on
the
situation
at
that
facility
for
roofing
HVAC
flooring
bathrooms,
we
give
it
over
it.
K
K
We
visit
every
we,
we
assess
those
schools
once
a
year.
Our
facilities
leadership
visits
the
school
four
times
a
year,
so
those
items
have
an
opportunity
to
be
presented
by
the
school.
So
if
a
school
on
that
school
visit
says,
we
really
have
multiple
roof
leaks,
we
need
our
roof,
replaced.
That'll
be
taken
into
consideration,
we'll
look
at
the
history
of
that
roof,
we'll
look
at
the
current
condition
of
the
roof,
we'll
look
at
when
it
was
replaced.
A
Basis
to
decide
what
about
the
special
amenities,
like
technology
and
other
sorts
of
things,
that
perhaps
the
schools
in
Mount
Pleasant
have
that
the
schools
in
North
Charleston
don't
have
so.
K
Each
program
is
taken
up
through
the
program
manager,
so
as
an
example,
if
it's
something
within
the
media
center,
we
have
a
media
center
program
manager
that
program
manager
ranks
and
rates
all
of
the
needs
within
the
libraries
and
brings
those
forward
in
the
fixed
cost
of
fixed
cost
of
ownership.
Every
year,
each
program
manager
handles
their
respective
their
respective
discipline
so
and-
and
then
at
that
point,
when
it's
before
it's
presented
in
the
board,
all
of
the
level
leaders
have
an
opportunity
to
look
at
all
of
their
schools.
K
I'm
quite
confident
they
do
that
now
and
any
principle
that
has
an
issue
with
their
school
they're.
Certainly
welcome
to
to
call
me
I
can
let
them
know
where
it
is
on
the
list.
I
can
make
sure
it's
on
the
list,
so
I
would
be.
I
would
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
that
word
from
the
principals.
They
have
an
a.
They
have
an
open
Avenue
to
approach
either
their
level
leader
or
through
me,
or
to
the
respective
building
managers
to
let
them
know
where
they
think
their
need
is.
Could.
K
I
I'm
not
waiting
for
that
at
all
I
believe
it's
a
two-way
street.
We
certainly
take
input
from
the
principles.
In
fact,
if
they
have
an
issue,
they
have
an
opportunity
to
submit
a
resource
action
request.
K
And
my
team
does
that
four
times
a
year
at
each
school?
Okay,
so
if
there
is
a
particular
school,
that's
missing,
something
feels
that
are
underserved.
I
would
personally
love
to
know
that
so
I
can
look
at
it,
assess
it
and
provide
you
the
information
on
where
those
projects
stand.
K
Certainly
I'll
I'll
sh.
What
I
can
do
is,
let
you
all
know
under
Google
Drive,
there's
an
Ops
folder
and
all
of
those
items
have
been
refreshed
and
I
can
point
out
where
those
are.
You
can
have
already
access
to
all
of
it.
The
facilities
assessment,
the
sales
tax
program,
all
that.
B
S
The
last
item
that
we
have
on
the
agenda
is
the
revenue
and
expenditure
report.
What
this
is
is
a
snapshot
of
our
revenues
and
expenditures
to
date,
and
we
compare
it
to
this
point
in
time
last
year.
So
it's
a
comparative
analysis
and
we
do
this
to
make
sure
that
we're
tracking
on
par
with
revenues
or
if
there
are
any
major
anomalies
in
the
data
that
we
explain
those
and
we
understand
why
it's
happening
so
just
a
summary
for
now.
S
Excuse
me,
our
Revenue
collection
from
local
sources
is
down
by
4.3
million
dollars,
and
this
is
due
to
us
receiving
local
tax
revenues
earlier
in
the
year
this
year,
as
opposed
to
last
year.
So
it's
not
a
reduction
in
overall
Revenue.
It's
just
a
timing
difference
regarding
the
state
revenue
sources.
Our
state
revenues
are
up
by
3.6
5
million
dollars,
and
that
is
a
result
of
the
education
formula.
State
formula
changing
in
this
past
legislative
session,
the
district
actually
receives
more
revenues
from
the
state.
S
For
this
particular
item,
skipping
down
to
expenditures,
our
total
salaries
and
benefits
are
up
by
about
4.7
percent.
This
was
anticipated
in
the
FY
23
budget.
There
were
salary,
increases
and
salary
incentives
that
were
approved
for
staff,
and
so
that's
reflective
of
that
particular
approval
total
purchase
services.
This
is
your
contractual
Services
things
we
buy
that's
down
by
3.4
million
dollars
and
that's
a
result
of
a
decrease
in
in
items
that
we
purchase
related
to
covet
for
the
district
and
so
those
savings
there
are
reflected.
S
That
also
is
about
a
five
hundred
thousand
dollar
savings
for
total
supplies.
As
a
result
of
the
same
thing
and
our
transfer
payments
are
a
little
higher
to
Charter
Schools
charter
school
funding.
We
transfer
funds
to
Charter
Schools.
The
funding
is
based
on
enrollment,
so
their
enrollment
increases
their
allocation
from
the
district.
That
transfer
increases,
so
that's
reflective
of
the
revenues
and
expense
chances
what
we
do
starting
next
month.
We
instead
of
us
doing
a
monthly
comparison
year
over
year
for
revenues
and
expenses.
S
We
actually
project
out,
where
we'll
be
where
we
anticipate,
will
land
and
revenues
and
expenses
for
the
Year.
This
gives
us
preliminary
Financial
picture
of
of
how
we'll
fare
in
the
fiscal
year
financially,
and
we
have
discussions
with
the
Committees
and
awards
around
any
related
any
any
questions
that
may
be
lingering
during
those
periods
in
time
when
we
do
the
projections.
S
A
B
N
Yes,
so
I
requested
this
agenda
item
I
want
to
start
by
thanking
Mr
Kennedy
for
stepping
in.
E
N
We
had
a
big
void
and
I
also
want
to
thank
thank
the
rest
of
Staff
who
helped
with
the
shuffling
so
that
the
district
could
keep
operating.
It
did
not
go
unnoticed
and
does
not
go
unnoticed
on
both
parts
and
to
say
that
to
say
this,
the
search
for
superintendent
will
continue
as
started
by
the
previous
board.
It
will
be
done
with
respect
and
consideration
for
our
current
superintendent
and
our
current
staff.
N
We
at
plan
at
the
Board
of
Trustees
meeting
to
appoint
a
three-person
ad
Hawk
committee
as
there
was
before
to
help
go
through
information
for
the
entire
board,
so
the
board
can
make
efficient
decisions.
G
Move
on
to
item
wait:
I
was
gonna,
ask
like
when
are
we
going
to
be
informed
in
terms
of
what
has
been
done
by
the
last
board
in
terms
of
the
superintendent
search?
It
seemed
like
there
were
a
lot
of
presentations.
It
seemed
like
the
board
had
maybe
centered
on
a
few
firms
to
do
that.
So
when
are
we
going
to
discuss
all
that,
the.
