A
C
Madam
chair
a
point
of
privilege,
I
see
just
one
thing
that
I
want
to
speak
on
just
for
a
quick
second
about
the
agenda.
I'm,
not
sure
I,
think
I
spoke
about
this
several
months
ago.
A
few
months
ago,
I
would
like
to
see
on
the
agenda
moving
forward
under
student
outcomes
and
strategic
education
committee,
some
things
from
the
board
as
it
relates
to
board
board
goals
and
student
outcomes.
C
If
we
could
have
our
new
specific
education
chair
to
start
working
on
our
board
goals
and
moving
forward,
have
something
on
the
agenda
that
represents
the
board.
Everything
from
strategic
education
is
coming
from
staff.
A
Thank
you
if
you'll
make
the
the
write
up
the
form
with
your
folks
and
pass
it
over
to
me,
I'll
be
happy
to
make
sure
it's
on
there.
Thank
you
sure
anything
else.
A
A
D
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I
think
we
just
have
two
in-person
comments.
E
Hello,
I'm
Francis,
balot,
parent
of
a
middle
schooler
and
a
high
schooler
lucky
for
you
guys,
I
travel
a
lot
for
work
now,
so
I
don't
get
to
make
it
to
a
meeting
I'm
so
excited
to
have
two
whole
minutes
up
here.
I've
spoke
last
time
about
vaping.
Vaping
is
still
a
serious
problem
in
Middle
Schools,
okay
in
2018
I
met
with
several
principals
who
said.
Vaping
was
a
serious
problem
at
high
schools.
Now
it's
a
serious
problem
at
middle
schools.
E
So
are
we
going
to
take
action
when
it's
a
serious
problem
at
elementary
schools?
Are
we
going
to
do
something
now?
I
need
to
remind
you
that
from
2011
to
the
present
vaping
among
teams
increased
by
1,
800
percent?
Okay,
my
greatest
challenge
to
maintaining
abstinence
from
vaping
from
nicotine.
For
my
daughter
and
my
son,
my
greatest
challenge
this
is
going
to
sound
harsh.
My
greatest
challenge
is
putting
them
in
a
CCSD
building
every
day.
E
That
is
where
they
are
exposed
to
the
most
amount
of
vaping,
the
most
amount
of
anything
associated
with
vaping
and,
as
you
may
have
noticed
this,
the
statistics
during
covid
for
teen
vaping
actually
went
down,
and
that
doesn't
mean
the
CCSD
is
responsible
for
my
children.
Vaping,
that's
my
responsibility,
but
you
need
to
work
with
me.
You
need
to
help
me
out
and
you
need
to
implement
a
program
that
is
comprehensive.
E
G
Hello,
my
name
is
Rainey
forsberg
and
it's
dismayed
that
I
am
before
this
board
yet
again
regarding
the
controversial
El
curriculum
I
want
to
read
to
you
the
response
from
one
of
the
school
board
members
to
a
person
who
is
a
teacher
and
voice
your
opinion
about
that.
G
G
Coming
up,
I
will
move
on
now.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
start
over.
G
The
letter
basically
said
that
that
she
felt
that
the
school
board
was
had
already
made
up
its
mind
about
the
curriculum
and
was
not
responsive
to
what
the
teachers
and
parents
many
teachers
and
parents
were
saying.
We
did
have
a
large
group
of
people
who
came
here
and
spoke
in
favor
of
the
El
curriculum,
but
we
had
a
lot
of
people
who
were.
F
G
To
come
forward,
who
voiced
their
opinions
to
many
many
people,
including
members
of
the
school
board,
that
they
were
afraid
for
their
jobs,
and
so
I'd
like
to
take
this
time
to
read
a
few
of
those
comments
that
came
from
the
teachers
themselves.
I
have
not
taught
the
Euro
El
curriculum,
because
I've
served
as
a
coach
during
this
curriculum
rollout.
However,
I
can
say
that
it
has
not
helped
students
on
top
of
this.
I
don't
want-
and
this
is
someone
else.
G
G
And
the
teachers
Mo
for
the
most
part
all
said
this
curriculum
is
ridiculous.
It
doesn't
meet
the
needs
of
my
students,
lessons
take
longer
than
the
allotted
time
and
are
literally
literally
running
over
small
group
instruction,
I'm,
not
even
able
to
teach
my
kids
how
to
read.
Also
we
keep
losing
planning
peers
that
are
greatly
needed
for
the
planning
of
this.
The
current
and
another
teacher
said
the
curriculum
is
not
teacher
friendly
at
all.
The
material
materials
are
unorganized
filled
with
errors,
and
it's
very
confusing
to
put
together
lesson
plans.
G
Several
teacher
manuals
are
needed
just
to
plan.
One
lesson
and
kittem
has
not
proven
any
easier
when
trying
to
find
things.
Another
teacher
said
the
El
program
for
kindergarten
is
absolutely
horrific.
If
teachers
were
given
an
input
on
a
curriculum
before
CCSD
decided
to
change
a
perfectly
great
phonics
program,
which
was
open
court,
the
El
curriculum
would
never
have
passed
to
be
taught
at.
F
G
That
is,
as
it
is,
expected
brand
new
to
El,
but
so
far
we
hate
it.
E
G
D
I
Thank
you
very
much,
Ms
Watley.
So
in
superintendent
report
we
have
two
items.
As
you
indicated,
the
legislative
update.
We
have
Mr
Daryl
Campbell
on
the
zoom
he's
going
to
give
us
an
update.
Mr
Campbell
is
from
the
Campbell
Consulting
Group
and
they
monitor
the
legislative
proposed
legislative
about
statues
that
that
are
debated
in
Colombia
at
the
state
capitol
during
the
legislative
session
and
he's
going
to
give
us
an
update
of
you
all
an
update
on
the
on
that
work.
This
this
year,
Mr
Campbell.
I
J
J
First
I
want
to
talk
about
the
legislative
priorities
that
was
set
forth
by
the
governor,
the
South
Carolina
general
assembly
and,
of
course,
the
superintendent
education
and
those
were
teaching
Recruitment
and
Retention.
Expanding
school
choice,
options,
career
Readiness
and
Workforce
Development,
as
as
well
as
reducing
red
tape
for
school
administrators
and
teachers,
and
all
that
through
those
priorities
to
develop
legislation.
And
then
the
key
piece
of
legislation
that
passes
each
year
is
the
general
appropriation
bill,
House
Bill
4300,
and
this
would
be
for
fiscal
year.
23
and
24..
J
The
fiscal
year
starts
on
July
1st,
and
this
is
just
a
highlight
of
some
of
the
funding
priorities
from
the
general
assembly.
You
will
see
number
four
to
27
million
to
hire
180
88
additional
school
resource
officers.
This
will
ensure
that
each
School
building
has
an
SRO
office.
The
general
assembly
went
further,
both
the
House
and
Senate
to
add
3.5
million
to
develop
a
center
of
school
safety
that
will
be
housed
at
sled
to
train
Educators
and
school
Personnel
on
School,
Safety
and
Security
next
slide.
J
These
are
budget
provisos
here.
These
are
temporary
Provisions
that
are
in
the
budget
which
carry
the
force
of
Law
and
they
remain
in
it
for
one
year.
It's
what
we
call
a
temporary
provisos,
but
they
direct
agencies
with
the
state
department,
education,
local,
school
districts
or
local
government
on
how
monies
should
be
spent
or
various
policies
that
have
to
be
complied
with
in
order
to
receive
funding.
J
And
so
if
a
particular
advisor
is
serving,
the
state
is
purpose.
It
comes
out
of
the
budget
or
if
the
house
I'm
saying
it
can't
agree
with
a
particular
provider,
it's
deleted,
and
then
you
do
have
some
provisos
that
that
remain
constant
in
the
budget
like,
for
example,
teacher
supplies
and
again
this
is
only
a
a
list
and
we
have
in
our
legislative
updates.
We
provide
each
provides
of
to
you
in
more
detail.
K
J
This
is
just
a
caption
of
the
budget
timeline,
so
when
the
general
assembly
convenes
in
January,
the
house,
Ways
and
Means
Committee
begins
this
budget
deliberations
and,
of
course,
there's
a
jurisdiction
for
each
subcommittee
and
for
K-12
there's
a
subcommittee
and
that
process
goes
through
the
committing
process
in
terms
of
deliberations,
full
committee
and
then
the
house
passes
their
budget
and
you
start
that
process
over
in
the
senate.
J
In
their
version
and
of
course
the
education
budget
goes
through
the
k212
Senate
Finance
subcommittee,
the
Senate
is
already
passed,
their
version,
the
budget
back
to
the
house,
and
this
week
on
tomorrow
the
board
of
economic
advisors
will
be
meeting
to
give
a
revenue
forecast
update.
We
anticipate
it'll
be
additional
revenues
that
they
will
certify
and
that's
when
the
house
will
then
amend
the
budget,
send
it
back
to
the
Senate
and
there's
no
more
part
of
the
course
that
the
Senate
will
not
incur
which
triggers
the
process
of
the
conference
committee.
J
And
so
we
anticipate
that
the
accounts
committee
will
probably
start
meeting
next
week.
This
is
when
you
have
three
housewarms
and
three
Senators
who
then
deliberate
on
the
difference
of
each
budget
before
they
send
it
to
the
governor's
office.
J
In
most
cases,
the
government
will
have
some
vetoes
and
so
therefore,
we'll
have
to
come
back
and
deal
with
the
budget
details
as
well,
and
just
to
note,
we
also
the
house
passing
a
concurrent
resolution
to
ensure
the
state
government
and
local
governments
operate
at
the
current
fiscal
year
budget
until
the
budget
passed.
It
was,
hopefully
you
know
which
I
think
is
happening
on
time
before
June
30th
we'll
have
a
budget
done
then.
K
So
I
will
review
some
of
the
key
pieces
of
legislation
that
have
been
moving
through
the
state
house
during
the
session.
We
won't
touch
on
all
of
the
pieces
of
legislation
that
you
have
in
your
packet,
but
we
will
hit
a
lot
of
the
key
items
so,
starting
with
the
bird's
eye
overview.
There
were
about
200
and
201
bills
that
were
filed
during
this
legislative
session.
Regarding
K-12
issues,
15
house
bills
have
crossed
over
to
the
Senate
chamber
and
9
billion
nine
Senate
bills
have
crossed
over
into
the
house
chamber.
Mind
you.
K
K
Starting
with
the
educational
scholarship
trust
fund
bill,
this
is
the
piece
of
legislation
that
the
governor
signed
into
law
last
Thursday.
This
is
a
really
big
priority
for
the
general
assembly.
School
choice
is
so
this
bill,
creates
education,
scholarship
accounts
and
will
distribute
public
funds
through
a
payment
system
to
Public,
Schools
or
or
two
public
schools,
and
will
be
able
to
be
received
to
students
who
are
attending
private
schools.
K
Charter
Schools
will
not
be
eligible
for
this
funding
under
the
current
bill,
so
this
bill
will
also
allow
six
thousand
dollars
to
be
allocated
to
5
000
students
right
now
it
is
only
five
thousand
students
who
will
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
this
program
next
year,
ten
thousand
and
then
the
following
year,
15
000,
the
general
assembly,
will
reevaluate
this
piece
of
legislation
in
2027
to
make
sure
that
this
funding
and
the
amount
of
students
receiving
the
funding
is
the
appropriate
number.
K
Again,
school
choice
is
a
really
big
priority
for
the
general
assembly,
so
there
is
a
second
School
voucher
Bill
and
it
is
the
academic
choice
and
education
Bill
known
as
the
ace
bill.
So
this
bill
is
a
little
different.
The
LA
s39
is
going
to
be
over
is
going
to
be
ran
by
the
Department
of
Education,
and
this
s285
bill
will
be
ran
by
the
treasurer's
office.
So
this
bill
will
allow
tax
credits
to
be
collected
for
non-profit
organizations
to
fund
private
school
and
home
school
options.
K
Those
non-profit
organizations
will
be
over
will
have
oversight
by
the
treasurer's
office.
K
Scholarships
may
be
awarded
by
the
pro
by
the
scholarship
funding
organizations
to
an
eligible
student
for
the
school
year,
so
there
are
three
categories
of
Eligibility:
there
is
the
general
Child
eligibility,
the
disadvantaged
child
eligibility
and
the
exceptional
needs
child
eligibility.
The
general
Child
eligibility
will
require
a
student
to
be
from
a
family
that
is
400
percent
below
the
federal
poverty
guideline
and
must
be
eligible
to
attend
a
public
school,
whether
it's
4K,
ranging
all
the
way
to
senior
year
of
high
school.
K
Like
I,
said
each
of
those
three
categories
will
receive
different
levels
of
funding,
regardless
of
the
level
of
funding
they
will
be
able.
The
funding
will
be
able
to
cover
tuition,
textbook
fees,
Transportation
or
any
parent
engagement
program.
As
long
as
the
service
is
provided
by
the
school
that
will
be
receiving
the
funding.
K
One
thing
to
note
a
student
that
receives
funding
through
this
Voucher
Program
through
the
tax
credit
Voucher
Program,
may
not
receive
any
funding
that
is
established
through
s39.
The
education
scholarship
trust
fund,
which
would
be
using
general
fund
dollars
this
bill.
Last
week,
last
Thursday
actually
did
receive
a
hearing
in
the
house.
Ways
in
need.
Subcommittee,
chairman,
Bruce
Bannister,
who
chairs
the
house
Ways
and
Means
subcommittee
Committee
did
state
that
he
is
a
proponent
of
school
choice,
but
they
just
want
to
fine-tune
the
bill
a
little
bit
before.
It
goes
to
the
Full
House.
K
Open
enrollment,
so
this
is
another
key
part
of
the
school
choice
priority
that
was
established
by
the
general
assembly.
This
will
direct
school
boards
to
adopt
the
policy
using
guidance
from
the
South
Carolina
Department
of
Education,
to
provide
an
open,
enrollment
policy,
meaning
that
people
and
students
will
be
able
to
cross
district
lines
to
attend
a
public
school.
The
Open
Enrollment
policy
must
adhere
to
Federal
desegregation
guidelines.
K
It
must
have
a
clear
application
process
and
a
clear
application
requirements,
and
it
must
incorporate
a
lottery
system
if
a
district
does
decide
to
charge
a
student
who
is
outside
of
the
attendance
Zone.
If
the
district
decides
to
charge,
they
may
not
charge
anything
above
the
local
per
pupil
expenditure
amount.
J
And
so
let
me
add
to
this
superintendent,
Kenny
and
members
of
the
board
I've
spoken
to
Chairman
Greg
Henry
of
senior
education
committee
from
Horry
County.
Of
course,
this
bill
will
not
pass
this
year,
but
it
would
be
a
priority
of
his
coming
back
into
on
January
when
his
session
reconvenes
and
I've
talked
with
staff.
They
potentially
have
some
hearings
this
summer
in
the
fall
and
I
know,
CCSD
has
a
robust
school
choice
program.
K
Next
bill
is
Workforce
housing.
This
is
s284.
This
bill
will
allow
municipalities
and
counties
to
use
revenue
generated
by
the
local
Accommodations
Tax
they'll
be
able
to
use
that
Revenue
to
develop
Workforce
housing.
Of
course,
there
isn't
income
requirement
here.
It
must
be,
it
must
accommodate
a
person
or
a
family
whose
income
Falls
within
30
and
120
percent
of
the
median
income
for
the
local
area.
K
K
This
bill
was
recently
amended
in
the
house
Ways
and
Means
Committee,
and
it
is
currently
on
the
house
calendar
for
this
week.
Since
it
was
amended
in
committee,
it
will
be
returned
to
the
Senate
with
those
amendments
for
concurrence.
K
Paid
Family
Leave
This
Bill
mimics
this
the
bill
that
came
up
last
year
that
gave
state
employees
paid
family
leave,
so
it
will
grant
District
employees
six
weeks
of
paidfully.
They
leave
upon
the
birth
of
a
newborn
child
or
adoption
right
now.
There
is
not
a
line
item
that
will
fund
this
program,
meaning
that
districts
will
be
responsible
to
fund
this
program
once
it
is
implemented.
K
Eliminating
red
tape:
this
is
a
priority
that
Daryl
mentioned
earlier
in
the
presentation.
This
is
a
priority
that
was
outlined
by
House
Education
and
Public
Works
chair
lady
representative,
Shannon,
Erickson
and
she's
doing
this
through
the
educator
assistance
Act.
This
bill
will
make
professional
teaching
certificate
permanent,
meaning
that
teachers
will
no
longer
have
to
re-certify
every
five
years
with
the
Department
of
Education.
K
The
second
piece
of
this
bill
is
teachers
who
submit
their
contract
prior
to
May.
11Th
will
have
10
days
to
withdraw
their
contract
after
publication
of
the
employing
district
salary
schedule.
If
a
teacher
does
withdraw
their
acceptance,
they
will
not
be
penalized
and
it
will
not
be
considered
a
breach
of
contract.
K
Workforce
Development
is
a
key
priority
for
speaker
of
the
house
representative
Merle
Smith.
This
is
being
done
through
the
educational
Workforce
Readiness
bill
h46v.
This
bill
will
develop
a
Statewide
Workforce
Development
plan,
but
I
want
to
point
out
two
key
things
that
are
really
relevant
to
the
K-12
education
system.
The
first
being
the
Department
of
Education
shall
produce
online
documents
to
help
guidance,
counselors
and
administrators.
Explain
the
benefits
of
the
courses
to
students,
parents
and
Guardians.
K
Also
High
School
seniors
will
be
required
to
submit
a
FAFSA
application
prior
towards
prior
to
graduation
in
preparation
for
higher
education.
One
of
the
driving
forces
behind
this
bill
is,
of
course,
we've
seen
a
lot
of
Economic
Development
Investments
come
into
South,
Carolina
and
speaker.
Smith
wants
to
ensure
that
students
are
prepared
to
take
those
jobs
upon
graduation.
J
No
I
think
that
covers
it.
Chair,
McKinney,
member
of
the
board.
Are
there
any
questions
that
you
may
have
for
us?
We
certainly
like
to
ask
answer
those
at
this
time.
I
will
say
this
this
week
is
the
last
week
of
the
session.
We
adjourned,
sign
and
die
on
Thursday
at
five
o'clock.
Of
course,
there's
a
lot
of
business
that
needs
to
be
accomplished
before
then.
J
Of
course,
adopting
the
budget
is
one
of
those
major
issues,
but
before
Thursday
at
five
o'clock
there
will
be
a
sign
of
that
resolution
and
fortunately,
for
some
of
us
we'll
return
back
to
Columbia
for
extended
session,
but
we
will
definitely
keep
you
a
prize
on
The
developments
as
we
we
get
a
further
along
the
extended
session
foreign.
B
J
A
We
I'll
open
up
the
let's
do
this
in
order,
so
I'm
going
to
actually
start
with
Dr
Temple.
If
you
have
a
question.
L
Yes,
thank
you.
I
have
a
question
and
I
have
some
comments
as
well.
The
question
I
have
is
I
just
want
to
know
how
we
in
CCSD
and
the
board
in
particular,
influence
the
legislation.
That's
going
on
I'm
reading
through
a
lot
of
this
legislation
and
I
have
concerns
about
it.
L
I
know
that
these
bills
are
90
minutes
or
90
million
dollars
and
in
South
Carolina
we
have
51
800
teachers
and
when
I
look
at
the
fact
that
the
state
is
going
to
give
teachers
twenty
five
hundred
dollars,
I
look
at
this
90
million
divided
by
the
51
000
some
teachers,
and
that
would
add
another
1737
dollars
to
the
teacher
salary.
I.
Think
if
we
value
public
education
in
South
Carolina
and
we
support
teachers,
we
have
to
look
where
we
are
spending
our
money.
L
Until
we
support
fully
support
public
education,
we
do
not
need
to
divert
any
funding
to
private
schools.
That's
my
opinion.
I
feel
very
strongly
about
that
and
then
also
I
was
looking
at
the
dollars
for
the
lunch
program.
We
in
South
care
in
Charleston
particular
have
some.
When
we
discussed
about
the
lunch
program.
We
have
some
needs
here
in
our
schools
to
be
Equitable
and
fair
to
all.
So
that's
another
bill,
but
anyway,
I
have
my
question.
I
have
my
comments.
Thank
you.
I
I'm,
sorry,
so
in
response
to
your
question
about
the
representation,
two
things
one,
the
skaza
as
well
as
scde,
South
Carolina
Department
of
Education.
They
are
constantly
in
contact
with
the
legislators
during
the
legislative
process
to
understand
and
potentially
influence
the
legislative
process
on
bills
that
are
impact
Statewide,
all
school
districts.
So,
for
instance,
you
talk
about
the
voucher
Bill,
that's
that's
an
example
in
the
presentation
that
was
made.
It
talked
about
the
essentially
the
lifetime
certification
about
teacher's
certificate.
I
So
that's
something
that
the
sky's,
the
folks,
as
well
as
the
superintendo
Weaver,
hurt
her
staff.
Will
that
will
but
I
actually
do
discuss
with
the
legislators
and
then
and
on
many
of
the
bills
that
come
out
that
may
have
a
fiscal
impact,
a
fiscal
impact.
I
Then
the
scde
finance
department
will
contact
School,
District
Finance
departments,
for
instance
our
CFO,
and
when
we
would
do
it,
we
we
do
an
analysis
of
the
fiscal
impact
that
made
a
potential
Bill
to
us
and
that's
happening
across
the
state
with
other
districts
and
those
things
are
taken
into
consideration
and,
of
course,
with
the
camel
group
Consulting
Group.
They
also
are
in
constant
contact
with
staff
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
what
the
potential
impacts
are
to
us
locally.
L
Great
thank
you
for
that.
But
I
think
one
piece
is
missing
and
that
is
awareness
of
this
board
of
awareness
of
these
pieces
of
legislation
and
how
we
might
View
and
have
input
into
them.
I
I
know
as
someone
who
follows
the
legislation
I
personally
respond
to
calls
for
Action
that
I
get
from
the
various
organizations,
but
I
see
here
that
our
school
board
doesn't
have
input
into
this
legislation.
C
That
was
my
yes,
but
that's
going
to
be
my
comment
and
is
there
some
type
of
follow-up?
How
do
we
connect
to
you?
I
had
no
idea
about
your
consulting
company
being
a
lobbyist
as
a
school
board.
I
think
that
that's
something
that
should
have
been
told
to
us,
so
you
know,
are
these
presentations
going
to
be
regularly
updated?
I
just
need
to
know
a
little
bit
more
about.
How
are
we
as
a
board?
How
do
we
engage
with
this
company.
I
Yes,
certainly,
we
can
have
accountable
group
presented
on
a
regular
basis
during
the
legislative
process
and
at
the
beginning
of
the
legislative
process,
what
we
do
each
year
we
certainly
did.
This
year
we
invited
the
local
delegation
to
come
in
and
meet
with
our
staff
and
and
school
board.
I
Members
I
came
from
the
date
we
had
that
we
had
it
in
this
room
and
so
so
that
we
could
actually
have
an
opportunity
as
a
district,
to
talk
to
us,
let's
say
about
what
our
legislative
Pro
priorities
might
be,
so
so
so,
yes,
we
can
continue
to
have
these
these
presentations
by
Mr,
Campbell
and
his
team
and
then
and
then
we
can
have
dialogue
between
the
staff
and
and
and
the
board
members
about
your
priorities.
M
Yes,
I
got
two
questions.
Excuse
me
and
I
you
kind
of
just
touched
on
this
Mr
Kennedy,
but
can
we
forecast
how
many
students,
or
how
much
funding
we
will
end
up
losing
because
of
s39.
M
Yes,
sir
and
I
guess
this
would
be
for
Campbell.
Do
you
believe
there
will
be
any
more
legal
challenges
to
s39
coming
forward?
M
J
J
M
If
everything
goes
through
and
it
makes
it
through
all
the
legal
challenges,
when
do
you
for
Sibly
see
it
being
enacted.
J
J
M
D
F
A
N
Waters,
nothing
additional
just
want
to
underscore
what
my
colleagues
have
shared
about
the
board
being
able
to
engage
and
be
knowledgeable
about
how
we
can
get
active
just
because
Charleston
County
is
such
a
large
one
of
the
largest
school
districts.
I.
Do
think
that
we
should
leverage
that
when
possible
and
want
to
underscore
the
request
for
the
financial
analysis
on
the
revenue
we're
going
to
lose,
with
students
exiting
and
not
just
a
revenue
analysis,
but
also
a
talent
analysis,
because
we
know
that
you
know
bills
like
this.
N
Take
the
brightest
out
of
our
system
and
then
and
so
I
would
love
to
know.
You
know
the
qualitative
impact
to
our
schools
that
comes
from
this
and
so
I
know
we
wouldn't
have
that
today,
but
in
future
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
think
about,
especially
as
we
position
ourselves
to
advocate
for.
What's
going
to
be
helpful
to
the
district.
I
As
Miss
Waters
said,
I
mean
it's
premature
on
the
so
on
that
type
of
analysis,
and
so,
as
Mr
Kellman
said,
this
is
going
to
go
through
the
courts
and
so
at
some
point,
I
would
anticipate
that
the
state
department,
they
will
do
a
Statewide
analysis
and
then
we
on
the
local
local
level
we'll
get
involved.
At
that
point,.
O
Yeah
I'm,
actually
really
I'm
quite
excited
to
see.
Thank
you
for
this
I'm
very
excited
to
see
that
parents
are
going
to
be
in
charge
of
their
kids
education,
which
is
the
way
it
should
be
so
I'm
grateful
for
that.
The
there
are
two
questions
is
the
six
thousand
dollar
marker?
O
Do
we
have
any
insight
as
to
where
that
was
picked
contextually?
The
reason
I'm
asking
is
because
I
believe
our
out
of
District
tuition
is
10
000,
some
change.
So
obviously,
if
there
were
a
student
in
right
on
the
link
of
a
brink
of
like
Berkeley
and
Charleston
County,
that
would
be
unable
to
afford
Charleston
County
with
just
the
six
thousand
dollars.
So
do
we
know
how
that
was
chosen
and
I?
O
Guess,
secondarily,
would
we
except
the
six
thousand
dollars
if
it
was
coming
from
this
State,
rather
than
the
10-5
or
whatever
else
it
might
cost
so.
I
So
I
don't
know
so
in
these
types
of
bills
that
take
that
have
impact.
Statewide
I
mean
it
once
once
the
bill
is
is
is
passed
so
the
government
has
already
signed
this,
so
the
state
department
is
doing
the
analysis
and
they
will
give
each
of
the
school
districts
guidance
and
then,
in
terms
of
the
six
thousand
I
mean
I
mean
I,
have
no
idea
how
how
that
number
was
thrived
but
but
I
think
I
heard
Mr
Campbell
say
that
over
a
period
of
three
years
that's
six
thousand
will
increase.
O
I
So
anyway,
I
asked
ask
the
State
Department
of
Education
gets
involved
in
doing
this
analysis,
along
with
the
the
department
of
economic
advisors,
Bureau
I
think
it's
called
economic
advisors,
then
school
districts
we
will
come
on
board
and
then
we'll
be
able
to
provide
additional
responses
and
Analysis
to
you
all.
O
Okay
and
the
the
other
question
is
on
the
it's,
the
PDF
page,
four,
so
I'm
not
sure
what
slide
number
it
is,
but
under
the
Proviso
is
it
the
number
two?
It's
stating
a
fact
that
teacher
average
salaries
has
increased
is
that
is
there
now
a
Proviso
that
requires
that
that
we
meet
that
or
what
action
do
we
have
out
of
that
information?.
K
So
in
committee
that
Proviso
was
amended
just
so
the
state
knows
what
the
now
Southeastern
teacher
salary
is.
They
do
it
every
year.
Just
so
it's
listed,
there's
not
a
requirement
to
reach
that
as
of
right
now,.
P
Q
J
So
this
week
is
the
bill
is
back
in
the
house
and
they'll
get
to
amend
that
bill.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
board
of
economy
advisors
will
do
a
revenue
forecast
or
update
a
revenue
forecast
and
certify.
What
additional
revenues
are
there
before
the
house
amends
to
build
and
sends
it
back
to
the
Senate,
and
we
anticipate
there'd
be
some
additional
revenues.
Q
J
Said
what
were
the
negotiations
on
that?
That's
correct,
yeah,
I
think
this
is.
It
was
just
a
priority
from
the
leadership
house
leadership.
The
governors
to
try
to
you
know
improve
its
retention,
so
I
think
that
was
really
the
main
driver
for
that.
Q
And
I
appreciate
my
fellow
board
members
Mr
Calhoun's
statement
on
the
analysis
that
we
do
on
the
potential
losses
on
s39
I.
Think
you
also
need
to
do
it
on
the
family.
Leave
it's
pretty
substantial
and
I
think
you
can
pull
from
the
history
of
everything
to
come
up
with
the
potential
funding
that
we
better
have
in
reserve
to
cover
those
expenses
for
a
well-deserved
payment.
Yes,.
R
Q
R
Q
Finally,
on
on
the
read
to
succeed,
I
think
I'm,
just
not
up
to
speed
as
to
that
there's
something
that's
actually
prohibited.
I
mean
the
legislature
has
actually
made
a
step
in
making
a
statement
like
that.
K
So
for
read
to
succeed
it's
just
shifting
to
the
scientific
model.
It's
just
tweaking
a
little
bit
of
the
legislation
that
already
exists.
K
They've
noticed
that
children
aren't
up
to
par
with
reading
by
third
grade,
so
it
shifts
the
focus
from
just
K
through
12
to
K
through
three
and
then
it'll
mandate,
districts
to
provide
summer
camps
for
students
who
are
not,
who
have
not
quite
reached
that
the
requirement
that
it
is
to
move
on
to
grades
past
the
third
grade.
So
it's
just
shifting
that
Focus
to
focus
heavier
on
the
K
through
K
through
third
grade
reading.
Q
K
A
Thank
you.
No
problem
is
that
everything
I
will
just
Echo
what
the
other
members
have
also
said
in
terms
that
I
was
not
aware.
I
I
am
familiar
with
going
to
representatives
and
speaking
with
Representatives
about
things
that
concern
the
district,
but
I
was
unaware
that
we
had
an
advocacy
group,
so
engagement
with
you
would
also
I
I
just
agree
with
them.
That
would
be
good
and
then
I
think
Mr
Kelly
touched
on
one
of
the
other
questions
that
I
had
under
the
budget.
A
Proviso's
item
number
two:
does
that
imply
that
the
state
is
going
to
assist
us
and
financially
in
raising
teacher
salaries
up,
or
is
that
just
going
to
be
a
mandate
on
the
district?
A
A
Right
are
they
gonna?
Are
they
gonna
a
lot
funds
to
help
us
get
to
that
that
level.
K
Right
now,
no
so
it'll
just
allow
funds
to
get
to
EV
to
the
starting
salary
to
be
the
42
500
number.
They
just
include
this
in
the
Proviso
every
year,
so
it's
been
in
there
before
they
just
adjust
the
number
to
reflect
the
current
numbers.
So
it's
just
for
knowledge
in
that
particular
Proviso.
A
And
then
my
last
piece
of
feedback
would
be
on
especially
these
things.
As
legislation
comes
through,
that's
getting
passed
just
a
comparison.
I
know
you
guys
read
a
lot
of
the
language
and
everything
on
the
changes
in
legislation,
but
I
would
also
like
to
see
a
comparison.
We're
going
to
go
from
this
to
this
and
how
maybe
that's
going
to
play
out
real
time.
L
Doctor
this
one
more
thing
because
I'm
aware
we
have
you
all
as
a
lobbyist,
but
we
also
have
MS
Claire
heinson.
So
how
do
you
all
work
together.
I
He
said
how
do
we
work
together,
yeah
so
so,
but
for
the
camera
group
they
have
a
Statewide
perspective,
so
they
understand
all
of
the
the
bills
that
impact
education
across
the
state
and
Miss
heinzen
has
her.
Her
primary
job
is
to
understand
the
local
legislative
delegation.
She
has
relationships
with
them,
and
so
she
is
able
to
connect
us
with
individual
legislators
that
represent
this
region.
I
You
know
the
local
and
so
Mr
Campbell,
and
this
group
Statewide,
you
know,
impacts.
Obviously
those
Statewide
impacts
have
a
have
impact
here
locally
and
with
Miss
heinzen.
She
has
the
relationship
with
the
legislators
and
so
we're
able
to
have
that
connection.
L
Question
does
the
Campbell
group
here
does?
Do
you
work
with
other
school
districts
or
are
you
just
with
Charleston.
C
I'm
sorry
I'm
Madam
chair
so
is
Miss
heinson
going
to
be
presenting
to
the
board
as
well.
I
So
again,
when
we
had
the
legislative
delegation
at
the
beginning
of
the
legislative
cycle
when
to
engage
with
the
school
board,
Ms
heisen
was
here
was
president
to
have
that
to
to
kick
that
off,
and
so
we'll
have
her
come
back
in
front
of
the
board
here
and
and
make
sure
that
she
does
the
same
type
of
report.
Well,.
D
Miss
Bailey
I
have
a
question.
This
might
be
more
geared
towards
auditing
Finance,
but
I
would
like
to
know
what
the
state
School
voucher.
D
If
a
parent
chose
to
take
a
child
out
of
Charleston
County
School
District
and
put
him
in
a
private
school
and
use
their
own
money,
the
money
allocated
to
that
child
in
Charleston
County.
Where
would
that
go.
D
I
Well,
so
my
understanding,
Mr
Campbell,
can
correct
me
I
think
the
bill
is
already
passed,
Miss
signed
by
the
governor
correct,
so
the
bill,
the
voucher
bill
has
already
been
passed,
and
so
the
question
now
is:
when
will
it
actually
take
take
effect?
Because
there
is
an
anticipation
that
will
be
some
legal
challenges
to
that
bill
and
then,
as
Mr
calma
said,
it
would
go
through
the
the
court
system,
and
so
we
won't
know
it
bad
until
it
gets
through
the
the
system.
I
Well,
yes,
we
will
and
I'm
saying
also
we
don't
know
what
that
impact
is
right.
Now,
right,
okay,.
I
I
Thank
you
very
much.
Daryl
I.
I
I
All
right,
so
so
this
the
second
and
last
superintendent
part
of
the
superintendent
report,
is
the
an
update
on
the
budget.
We've
met
with
our
finance
committee
last
Tuesday.
We
have
this.
This
information
that's
come
in
since
then,
so
miss
miss
Carl
is
going
to
go
through
that.
R
R
The
following
priorities
are
included
in
the
budget
scenarios
that
are
being
presented
today,
increase
in
teacher
salaries,
requests
from
school
data
reviews
and
then
student
data
clerk
alignment
of
their
job
duties.
Next
slide.
Please
so
proposed
24
millage,
fy24
millage.
R
We've
talked
many
times
over
the
last
several
weeks
about
the
value
of
a
mill
on
the
operating
side
of
millage.
It's
about
three
million
dollars.
We
haven't
really
talked
about
the
debt
service
side,
so
we're
we're
going
to
go
over
that
today.
So
the
value
of
a
mill
on
the
operating
side
is
3
million,
and
the
value
of
a
mill
on
The,
Debt
Service
side
is
5
million.
R
Our
current
millage
rate
for
operating
is
at
130
and
our
current
millage
rate
for
debt
services
at
28.,
so
staff
is
recommending
for
fy24
a
proposed
increase
on
the
operating
side
of
7.1
Mills,
which
is
equivalent
to
about
21
million
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
then
on
The
Debt
Service
side
staff
is
recommending
a
decrease
of
two
meals,
which
would
be
a
a
decrease
of
about
10
million
dollars.
R
So
the
net
would
be
about
11.3
million
dollars
in
revenues
for
taxpayers.
You
know:
Going
On,
Through,
To,
FY
24.,
based
on
the
pfm
group
projections
that
they
sent
us
last
week
on
May
3rd
The,
Debt
Service
millage
can
be
reduced
by
two
males
without
any
issue,
and
this
will
result
in
a
two
mil
decrease
in
owner-occupied
properties
on
The
Debt
Service
side.
Remember
on
the
general
side.
Owner-Occupied
properties
are
not
are
not
factored
in
for
debts
for
excuse
me
for
millage
because
of
vac
388..
R
So
overall,
this
proposal
would
reduce
The,
Debt,
Service
portion
of
all
tax
bills
for
owner
occupied,
non-owner
occupied
homes,
commercial
World,
property
and
all
personal
property,
and
so
later
in
this
presentation,
there
are
examples
of
how
this
will
impact
the
taxpayer,
with
these
proposed
milk
proposed
villages
next
slide.
Please
so
I
know
we've
seen
this
these
budget
scenarios
before,
but
this
is
these
are
two
new
scenarios
scenario.
A
R
R
Both
these
scenarios
expenditures
we're
still
looking
at
our
base
expenditures,
it's
the
same
number,
which
is
651.9,
so
our
variance
is
higher
our
variance
to
be
able
to
or
excuse
me,
our
funds
available
for
available
for
the
allocation
is
now
at
42.2
million,
and
so
a
lot
of
these
numbers
are
going
to
look
the
same.
Our
required
increases
are
still
the
same,
except
for
we've
increased
the
teacher
salary
piece
to
include
the
the
step
plus
a
five
thousand
dollar
salary
crease
in
every
cell,
for
every
teacher
across
all
the
salary
schedules.
R
R
S
R
A
It
was
s
39,
and
then
there
was
also
another
one
that
could
impact
us.
Even
more
was.
A
Something
the
s39
is
the
one
that
the
students
have
to
qualify
for
Medicaid,
but
there's
another
one
that
doesn't
have
that
requirement.
So.
R
R
Out
and
they
won't
reach
out
to
us
directly,
they'll
actually
reach
out
to
the
state
department
and
they'll,
take
it
from
our
state
revenues.
If
we
may
not
even
know
it
until
it's
said
and
done,
and
so
there's
just
a
lot
of
things
that
have
to
be
worked
out
and
I'm,
not
sure
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
provide
an
analysis,
but
we'll
definitely
take
a
look
at
it
and
see
what
we
can
provide
the
board.
R
Okay,
where
was
I?
Okay,
thank
you.
So
the
required
increases
are
for
this
particular
scenario:
are
51.4
million
the
school
data
review
recommendations
have
not
changed,
so
that's
still
at
6.8
million
learning,
Services
expansions
have
not
changed
the
net
positions
gained
due
to
FY
24
enrollment
projections.
That
number
has
not
changed
and
the
other
considerations
for
this
particular
scenario
has
not
changed
it's
about
7
million,
and
so
when
we
take
in
consideration
all
of
the
expenditure
requests.
R
Just
for
this
particular
scenario,
it's
about
a
little
over
71
million
dollars
and
then
starve
a
meeting.
Our
remaining
funding
balance
is
28.9
million
and
we
use
the
same
strategies
to
balance
as
we've
used
before
I
know.
You're
familiar
with
these,
but
the
mid-year
spending
freeze,
elimination
of
positions,
non-salary
budget
deduct.
Excuse
me
reductions.
The
potential
local
Revenue
increase,
that's
factored
in,
and
the
use
of
fund
balance
using
about
5.3
million.
R
31
is
approximately
3.2
million
dollars
and
we
were
advised
by
our
audit
and
finance
committee
to
put
this
number
back
in
our
budget
to
keep
this
group
of
employees
at
the
97
market
value,
and
so
we
keep
going
down
the
fy24
expenditure
request,
for
this
particular
scenario
is
a
little
over
74
million
dollars
and
the
remaining
needed
to
balance
is
a
little
over
32
million
there
again.
The
strategies
to
balance
are
all
the
same,
but
in
order
to
completely
fund
this,
we
would
need
to
use
an
additional
4.5
million
dollars
in
fund
balance.
O
R
O
O
R
Q
We're
going
to
talk
about
all
the
wonderful
fund
balances
later
in
your
presentation.
R
G
Q
No
I
I
think
we'd
rather
see
your
presentation
on
it.
Knowing
how
you
know
in
how
the
committee
was
looking
at
that
very
closely,
so
I
think
it'd
be
better
to
wait
until
you
see
that,
but
the
Board
needs
to
know
that
this
is
a
serious
issue:
the
use
of
fund
balanced
numbers
because
we
are
required
to
keep
it
at
a
certain
level.
So
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
as
to
trying
to.
A
R
I
So
what
also
let
the
boy
know
to
understand
better
the
requirements
of
the
fund
balance,
both
the
state
statutes,
around
South
Carolina
state
statutes,
around
requirements
for
the
the
quantity
of
fund
balance,
and
so
well,
that's
the
recommendation
from
the
the
national
agencies.
We
have
a
fund
balance
policy,
I
think
it's
dfac,
and
so
you
take
a
look
at
that.
It
talks
about
in
details
of
the
fund
balance
requirements
and
what
what
our
strategies
are.
R
R
Is
oh,
like
your
cash
account
balances,
you
know
we.
We
have
an
operations
account
that
takes
care
of
all
of
our
accounts
payable
payments.
We
have
a
payroll
account
that
takes
care
of
all
of
our
our
payroll
payments
right.
So
what
do
you
use
the
cash
balance
for?
Oh,
that's.
Our
cash
account
balances,
like
your
checking
account
it's.
R
I
Cash
balance
is,
for
example,
jacket,
said
payroll,
so
it's
the
day-to-day
operation
to
pay
your
expenses.
So
payroll
comes
every.
You
know
twice
a
month,
so
we
have
cash
on
hand
to
pay
that
we
have
to
pay
vendors
who
have
to
pay
for
the
buildings
that
we
build.
So
that
comes
from
our
cash
balances.
The
fund
balance
it
can
be.
I
You
can
compare
it
to
a
home's
emergency
fund.
So
it's
it's
something.
That's
on
the
balance
sheet.
It
stays
there
for
specific
reasons
or
for
for
emergencies.
I
I
So
so
our
policy
follows
the
the
the
national
national
standards,
which
is
two
months
and
state
law
requires
one
month,
and
so,
if
we
were
to
drop
below
the
the
National
Standard,
then
then
we
have
to
come
according
to
policy
and
we
would
have
to
come
up
with
a
plan,
develop
a
plan
to
get
it
back
into
those
requirements.
F
C
Have
a
question:
yes:
ma'am:
okay,
okay,
so
Mr
Rory,
don't
jump
over
the
table,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
this
question
your
fund
balance
that
you're.
It's
look
like
it's
about,
6.7,
that
you're
gonna
you'd
be
using.
R
For
when.
L
C
The
first
scenario:
yes,
okay
here
it
goes-
Mr
Ferrari
said
over
there
coming
up
we're
going
to
have
a
presentation
for
reallocation
and
I.
Don't
know
if
we
co-mingle
funds
or
how
you
move
from
one
fund
account
to
the
next
you're
already
shaking
your
head.
No,
you
know
what
I'm
going
to
say:
there's
seven
million
dollars,
that's
going
to
be
reallocated
from
The
District
4
Stadium,
so
we
can't
use
that
money
instead
of
using
the
fund
balance.
Everyone
is
saying
no.
Why.
I
Accounting
rules
that
govern
governmental
funds
and
how
and
how
you
account
for
those
and
so
one
one
of
the
requirements
is,
you
cannot.
L
L
F
L
R
When
they
first
look
at
it,
I
can
imagine
why
they
say
that
and
we
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
training.
Our
board
on
what
the
fund
balance
represents.
Some
of
the
numbers
that
are
that
are
in
the
fund
balance
are
are
inventory
items
that
you
can't
really
do
anything
with
whether
it's
food
service
warehouse
but
there's
other
things
that
are
are
included
in
fund
balance
that
we
just
we.
R
We
need
to
work
on
explaining
that
to
y'all
when
we
were
at
our
excuse
me,
sir
I
know
I'm
going
in
the
weeds
here,
but
we
were
at
the
Finance
Round
Table
a
few
days
ago.
One
of
the
things
they
talked
about
was
what
the
legislators
were
telling
school
districts
about,
fund
balance,
and
one
of
the
recommendations
that
came
out
of
on
that
meeting
was
basically
doing
a
one-pager
on
explaining
what
represents
your
fund
balance
and
Mr
grabowski's
laughing.
R
But
one
of
the
things
we
have
to
do
is
you
know
we
don't
get
our
revenues
like
the
book
of
our
revenues.
You
know
between
July
and
November,
but
we
still
have
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
of
payroll
to
cover
we're
still
operating.
You
know
paying
utilities
and-
and
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
we
need
to
be
able
to
explain
that
to
y'all,
so
that
you
see
that
fund
balance
fluctuates
all
the
time.
L
Know
that's
why
I
really
think
we
ought
to
our
legislature,
and
maybe
our
lobbying
team
can
work
with
the
legislature
to
fund
our
schools
three
years
in
advance,
because
this
it's
a
roller
coaster,
I've
been
on
the
other
side,
where
I've
been
programmatically
trying
to
plan
for
something
and
it's
a
roller
coaster,
and
it's
very
there's
unstability
instability
there,
that's
really
problematic.
Anyway,
that's
a
conversation
for
another
day
is.
C
I
just
want
to
ask
about
this
object.
Code
object.
Code0127,
that's
designated.
Various
schools
is
that
commingling
you
started
this
year
with
279
million
784..
How
much
do
you
have
in
that
account
now
and
can
we
use
monies
out
of
that
account?
We.
R
Can
definitely
took
a
late.
Take
a
look
at
it,
so
zero
one,
two,
seven,
it
is
called
district-wide
and
normally,
when
we're
not
sure
where
we
need
to
put
that
budget.
Let's
say
if
it
covers
20
schools,
but
not
the
whole
school
rather
than
budgeting
it
at
20
different
schools,
we'll
put
it
right
there
until
we'll
put
it
in
zero.
One.
Two.
R
C
R
Doesn't
we
have
depleted
a
lot
of
127
this
year
because
of
different
requests
that
have
come
from
schools
and
things
like
that?
But
we
can.
We
can
take
a
look
at
one
two,
seven
and
and
give
you.
H
Mr
did
you
wanna.
R
I
understand
it.
These
meetings
help
us
get
prepared
to
start
working
on
budget
documents.
The
more
the
earlier
we
can
get.
Some
budget
decisions
made
the
more
information
we
can
provide
so
that
you're
not
looking
at
just
an
Excel
document.
You're
looking
at
you
know
more
more
detailed
financial
information
and.
A
Q
But
I
think
you
all
have
to
understand
that
we're
only
talking
about
salaries,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
other
factors
that
go
into
this
budget,
that
we
are
not
talking
about
exactly
so.
That
is
my
biggest
concern.
The
other
thing
is
I
asked
recently
is
that
we
really
need
to
start
the
model
we
start.
Thinking
about.
Q
Q
I
understand
that,
but
if
I
see
the
state,
they
want
us
to
at
least
start
our
selling
salary,
no
matter
what
we
pay
twenty
five
hundred
dollars
and
that's
just
for
starting
salary,
so
I
think
that
would
be
the
model.
You
start
with
that
we
look
at
and
then
we
determine
what
we
can
obtain.
We
can
bear
with
to
increase
without
cutting
without
because
we
are
not
looking
at
anything
else,
we're
only
looking
at
salaries
and
there's
a
lot
more
in
this
budget
and
I
just
get
concerned
that,
especially
with
a
new
board.
Q
We're
going
to
look
at
this
huge
document.
This
book
a
week
before
it's
due
and
I,
talked
to
a
lot
of
other
disc
school
districts,
you're
looking
at
10,
12,
13
14
hours
of
negotiation
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
get
this
budget
balanced.
So
when
we
look
at
millage
rate
increases,
I
mean
I
think
we
still
need
that
model
showing
what
is
really
required.
Q
You
know
you
know
other
than
what
staff
is
recommending
or
what
staff
may
have
promised
or
may
have
been
discussed
because
I've
heard
so
many
so
many
statements
about
what
happened
in
October
and
what
was
stated
in
October
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
seeing
and
we
came
in
in
November.
We
should
see
start
at
the
foundation
and
move
up,
but.
M
Our
require
everybody
to
take
a
pay
cut.
If
we
were
oh
excuse
me
if
we
were
to
look
at
something
like
that,
like
what
the
state
requires
us
to
look
at
we'll
be
talking
about
people
taking
a
pay
cut
before
we
even
start
looking
at
how
we
can
get
them
up
to
where
we
visibly
want
them
or
need
them
to
be
right.
Now,
I
think
we
can
look
at
the
model
that
we
have
right
now,
as
opposed
to
going
back
to
the
state,
because,
where
we
four
thousand
for
about
the
state
right
now,.
M
We
we
need
to
start
and
go
on
to
where
you're
saying
we
need
to
start
where
we're
looking
at
right
now,
where
our
teachers
are
right
now
and
then
move
forward,
think
about
how
we
can
move
them
up,
be
it
with
a
7.1,
millage
increase
or
a
9.1
military
increase.
We
don't
need
to
be
looking
backwards
for
any
of
our
teachers,
because
then
we
would
not
have
any
teachers
inside
the
school
district
right.
Q
Q
I
Yeah
75,
so
let
me
show
at
least
on
the
piece
of
salaries.
Let
me
make
sure
that
and
staff
understand
so
think
what
I
hear
you
saying
is
that
you
want
to
see
a
model
one
of
these
scenarios
that
shows
what
the
state
is
required
on
the
increases
2500
per
teacher.
Q
And
it's
not!
This
is
not
to
say
that
we
aren't
going
to
raise
salaries.
I
don't
want
anybody
to
take
that
I.
Just
think
when
you
look
at
this
logically
and
then
you
take
in
what
we
start
to
hear,
hopefully
in
the
near
future,
the
other
operational
expenses,
it's
going
to
have
a
direct
relation
into
what
we
do.
That's
all
so.
I
So
so,
let's
plan
on
our
finance
committee
put
it
in
scenario:
23.
that
has
the
2500
so
that
that
those
numbers
can
be
seen.
C
While
the
chair
is
gone,
I
see
from
last
year
that
this
wasn't
ready
until
June
27th,
so
I'm
nervous
as
well.
I
Salaries,
I
think
I
think
that
they
do
looking
at
Miss.
Miss
Roberson
is
the
date
of
the
bullet
meeting
where
the
second
reading
took
place.
It's
not
the
date
that
you
received.
I
R
Proceed:
okay,
so
next
slide,
so
we're
looking
at
this
is
a
new
slide
where
we're
looking
at
the
five
thousand
dollar
flat
increase
across
all
of
the
teacher
salary
schedules.
R
I'll
just
go
through
a
few
of
these
subsets
of
data.
So
to
answer
I
think
it
was
you
Mr,
Kelly,
you'd,
answer
or
asked
about
a
bachelor
of
Step
Zero.
What
would
they
go
up
to
so
they're,
currently
at
forty
three
thousand
one,
forty
six,
so
they
would
go
up
to
forty
nine
thousand.
Seventy
four
dollars
about
a
14
increase,
the
second
set
of
data.
R
Looking
at
a
master's
step,
five
to
six,
the
teacher
would
go
from
fifty
three
thousand
three,
ninety
one
to
fifty
nine
thousand
four
forty,
the
next
subset,
looking
at
a
doctorate
step,
10
going
to
11.
they're,
currently
at
sixty
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy,
and
they
could
possibly
go
up
to
73
986.
R
I
won't
go
through
all
of
these,
but
but
the
on
the
right
side.
The
last
subset
of
data
I
always
like
to
go
over
the
the
doctorate
level,
the
doctorate
going
from
a
step
35
to
a
36
they're.
Currently
at
101
430.,
and
with
this
particular
scenario,
they
could
possibly
go
up
to
107
843.
U
I
just
want
to
make
sure
and
clarify
when
we
look
at
the
zero
to
one
and
how
Mrs
Carlin
points
that
out
that
the
teacher
is
going
from
Step
Zero,
so
their
induction
first
year
to
step
one.
So
we
see
that
increase,
because
they're
stepping,
but
a
first-year
teacher
would
be
at
forty
eight
thousand
one
forty
six
next
year,
so
that
zero
step
teacher
would
be
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
was
clear
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
whether
it's
gonna
be
50
or
55
or
58.
U
So
for
first-year
teachers
as
part
of
our
Esser
funds,
we
have
what's
called
jump,
start
your
career.
That
includes
the
signing
bonus.
It
also
includes
funds
to
help
pay
for
their
certification
practice
exams
and
some
other
things.
Q
Foreign
I
know
this
will
be
discussed
again.
You
know
the
possibility
front
loading
so
that
we
can
get
the
starting
salaries
up
and
you
know
reducing
you
know
the
other
salaries
on
the
levels
going
up.
I
know
you've
gone
straight
across
just
with
the
five
thousand
dollar
raise,
but
when
I
talk
to
principals-
and
they
all
tell
me
100
that
we're
losing
them
on
the
three
to
four
year,
you
know
period
of
time.
That's
the
greatest
number,
so
I
know
we've
discussed
it.
I
know
we'll
discuss
it
more,
but.
U
Thinking
about
the
teachers
in
the
first
three
years,
we're
having
fewer
teachers,
fewer
Young,
Folks,
considering
the
profession
and
so
part
of
when
the
board
decided
to
go
to
step
40
is
to
really
make
sure
that
our
experienced
teachers
stay
in
the
classroom
and
even
the
teacher
that
may
be
at
step.
17
18
20
now
sees
that
Charleston
County
School
District
goes
beyond
the
state,
which
only
requires
goes
to
step
23.,
so
we
really
need
to
retain
our
experienced
teachers
as
much
as
possible.
U
A
Have
a
question
for
you:
Mr
Bergman,
when
we
do
sign-on
bonuses
like
you're,
saying
out
of
the
Esser
funds
and
the
other
perks
that
we're
giving
and
and
we're
talking
about
them,
not
staying
with
the
job
and
and
leaving
early
is.
Is
there
some
sort
of
hook
in
that
to
where
okay?
If
you
take
these
perks,
then
you
have
to
stay
for
x
amount
of
time,
or
can
they
just
take
three
thousand
dollars
off
the
top
and
then
leave
after
a
year?
So.
U
In
most
of
our
so
for
Praxis
and
some
of
the
other
things
we
pay
for
could
be
reimbursed,
but
we
disperse
the
money
winter
time
as
you
get,
let's
say
winter
winter
break
and
then
again
in
the
spring.
U
Do
not
we
we
would
certainly
if
someone
broke
their
contract,
we
would
consider
bringing
it
to
the
board
to
then
report
to
the
state
department.
U
B
U
Ma'am
we
can't
we
don't
have
a
way
to
really
control
that.
Certainly
they
could
decide
to
go
to
another
District.
Q
Because
I
think
that's
my
biggest
concern
that
we
have
this
new
legislation
out
there.
That's
talking
about
giving
them
salary
classifications
are
posted
that
they
can
drop
their
contracts.
I
mean
I
heard
from
too
many
principals
talking
about
people
coming
from
out
of
town,
getting
in
town,
signing
a
contract
and
the
next
day
walking
away,
and
then
they
were
at
alerts
because
it's
August
I
think
it's
something
we
really
need
to
pay
attention
to,
but.
N
It's
but
just
to
add
just
for
from
Context
in
the
field.
One.
The
three
thousand
dollars
is
not
like
a
lot
enough
money
to
be
doing
something
like
that.
You
know
it's,
not
fifteen
thousand
dollars,
I
think
most
most
of
what
we're
talking
about
also
just
needs
to
be
addressed
beyond
the
HR
department
and
in
operations,
because
experience
is
what's
going
to
get
you
to
the
retention
piece,
what
experience
you're
having
when
you're
in
the
classroom.
N
So
it's
beyond
money
at
that
point,
it's
having
strong
principles
in
the
building,
it's
having
the
resources
that
you
need,
and
so
we
need
to
look
at
some
of
these
other
funding
categories
as
well
in
terms
of
how
they
support
teachers.
But
we
I
mean
it's
general.
You
know
standard
practice
to
recruit
and
give
those
bonuses,
and
most
people
aren't
just
going
to
hop
around
for
three
thousand
dollars
if
they
fall
if
they
like,
where
they
land
and
they're
supported,
they'll
stay.
L
Yeah,
okay,
I
mean
I've,
received
a
lot
of
feedback
from
teachers
wanting
to
see
the
flat
increases
and
and
the
way
that
our
experienced
teachers
are
thinking
about
and
the
way
I
think
about
it
as
well
is
that
the
salaries
have
been
low
and
unreasonable
for
a
long
time,
and
so
our
veteran
teachers
have
been
losing
along
stayed
with
us
when
they
could
have
been
we've
gone
somewhere
else
and
I
think
that
this
will
seem
fair
to
them
and
give
them
the
Boost
that
they
need,
because
we
we
do
want
to
keep
our
veteran
teachers,
because
our
new
teachers
will
do
well.
L
If
we
have
our
veteran
teachers
there
to
Mentor
them.
So
you
know,
one
of
the
things
I
saw
when
I
was
working
in
the
district
is
if
I
could
get
involved
in
my
program,
teachers
who
had
10
12
13
years
of
the
experience
working
with
helping
with
professional
development,
helping
support
the
teachers.
L
R
So
these
are
the
examples.
I
talked
about
earlier,
showing
an
impact
to
a
taxpayer
with
the
recommended
or
excuse
me
yeah.
The
recommended
millage
increases
and
decreases
so
for
an
owner
occupied
property
tax
bill
with
a
sex
assessed
home
value
of
435
000.,
the
7.1
mil
increase
would
I'm.
Sorry
I
lost
my
train
of
thought,
so
it
would
be
a
35
reduction
overall
to
this
particular
taxpayer.
R
R
All
right
so
non-owner
occupied
homes
just
slide.
Please
thank
you
on
an
assessed
home
value
of
435
000,
this
particular
tax.
This
particular
impact
to
taxpayer
would
be
an
increase
of
133
dollars
and
11
cents.
So
I
want
to
draw
your
attention
to
The
Debt
Service
piece
so
prior
year
on
on
this
particular
impact.
They
were.
They
were
charged
seven
hundred
thirty
dollars
and
80
cents,
so
this
amount
would
go
down
for
FY
24
because
of
the
two
mil
decrease,
so
it
would
go
down
to
678.60.
R
R
Nothing
to
answer
your
question:
Miss
watley's
on
the
next
slide
on
the
commercial,
real
property,
so
assessed
value
of
1.6
million
dollars.
The
operating
increase
would
be
approximately
714
dollars.
The
Debt
Service
decrease
would
be
approximately
201
dollars,
and
so
the
impact
to
taxpayer
will
be
approximately
513
dollars.
A
Have
we,
or
is
there
some
sort
of
way
that
housing
is
such
an
issue
in
Charleston
County?
That
I
think
that
it
would
be
prudent
to
hear
from
these
Property
Owners,
especially
when
we're
seeing
people
experiencing
a
400
jump
in
their
rent
every
month,
because
we
know
that
this
is
probably
going
to
get
passed
down
to
the
renters.
A
R
Q
R
Two,
so
when
we
were
working
on
The,
fy24,
Debt
Service
budget
that
we
presented
at
audit
and
finance
committee,
we
noticed
that
a
couple
different
things.
We
noticed
that
we
were
continuing
to
carry
a
high
debt
sinking
fund
balance,
which
is
is
taking
into
consideration
our
early
payments
and
what
August
September
October.
R
We
still
were
carrying
a
high
balance
and
we
didn't
want
to
do
that,
and
so
I
had
reached
out
to
well
Mr
Kenny
reached
out
to
me
about
a
couple
things,
and
we
talked
about
that
and
then
I
reached
out
to
pfm
group
and
we
started
running
different
scenarios
on
what
we
could
do
to
actually
bring
it
down
two
meals
and
also
use
some
of
that
debt
sinking
fund
balance
to
bring
that
balance
down.
N
What
is
this
going
to
do
to
the
debt
repayment
is
this?
Is
it
still
I
know
you
had
presented
like
by
the
year
2030
or.
I
Something
yeah
2013
I
think
it
is
so
so
the
the
ask
of
pfm
financial
advisors
is
to
take
a
look.
So
the
the
sinking
fund
is
a
balance
that
that
we
carry
every
year
to
help
pay
a
part
of
the
debt
down,
so
that
balance
that
sinking
fund
fluctuates
and
so
over
the
last
several
years
and
that's
steadily
increased,
and
so,
instead
of
allowing
that
second
fund
balance
to
remain
at
that.
I
At
that
current
level,
we're
able
to
take
10
million
dollars
out
of
that
to
pay
to
to
apply
to
The,
Debt,
Service
and
so
pfm's
charge
was
to
do
the
analysis
would
have
without
impacting
the
long-term
debt
payment.
Yeah.
F
I
The
to
the
point
about
to
admit
to
the
valid
point
about
the
the
taxpayer
having
an
opportunity
to
to
express
their
concerns.
So
there's
a
state
requirement
that
we
have
to
meet
that.
There's
a
public
hearing
before
between
the
first
reading
and
the
second
reading
to
make
sure
that,
once
the
board
votes
on
the
first
reading,
the
public
has
has
an
ability
to
see
what's
been
proposed.
And
then
we
will.
I
I
So,
on
the
first
reading,
so
there
will
be
a
first
reading
budget
book.
I.
Think
I
saw
a
budget
book
that
Miss
Roberson
had.
That
was
the
second
reading.
You
have
something
similar
that
lays
out
by
a
type
of
expenditure
line
by
line
so
you'll
see
that
sometime
this
month
this
month,
yeah,
let's
say
I-
have
to
make
sure
prior
to
the
in
time,
for
this
first
reading
of
the
budget
book.
O
I
I
At
well
I'm,
not
let
me
see
so
so
it's
you
know
it's
like
if
you
take
a
look
at
all
between
The
Debt
Service
fund
and
and
this
funds,
your
operating
fund
you're
talking
about
close
to
a
billion
dollars.
So
you
won't
see
every
transaction,
but
you
will
see
government,
it's
just
hundreds
of
millions,
millions
of
transactions,
but
categorically
that's
right.
So
you
will
see
my
program
about
types
of
expenditure
line
by
line.
I
Okay,
thank
you,
and
so
you
will
see
that
in
the
first
reading
of
the
budget
you
bought,
it
will
vote.
Let's
say
you
will
vote
to
approve,
what's
being
presented,
you
know
you
might
you'll
you'll
have
a
we'll
make
a
recommendation.
You'll
say
well,
I
want
to
make
adjustments
here,
make
adjustments
there
or
you
approve
it,
and
then
we
make
the
make
those.
I
You
know
further
analysis,
further
presentations
to
the
art
and
finance
committee,
another
budget
Workshop
the
public
hearing,
and
then
you
guys
vote
that
down
in
the
in
the
end
of
June.
Okay,.
Q
I
just
think
it'd
be
very
helpful
to
the
board
like
electricity.
We
all
know
that
electricity
is
going
up.
Food
costs
are
going
up,
you
know,
there's
got
to
be
something
else
other
than
salaries
which
are
70
percent.
So
there's
got
to
be
something
within
that
30
percent
that
this
Board
needs
to
know
may
be
coming.
You
know
so
when
they
make
the
consideration
for
the
salaries
appropriately.
I
I
So
if
you
take
a
look
at
some
of
our
contracts
like,
for
example,
that
I'd
like
to
give
is
the
transportation
contract,
so
we
have
a
what
is
the
jail
for
five
year
contract
and
there's
a
escalation,
cost
escalation
requirements
in
the
contract,
so
those
who
those
those
are
non-salaries
that
would
increase
that
would
be
captured
at
10.7
million
dollars
as
an
example.
O
Reading
the
room,
it
seems
that
I'm
of
the
same
boat
that
I
am
uncomfortable
making
a
decision
about
one
portion
of
the
budget
without
seeing
the
totality
of
all
of
the
other
pieces.
Just
to
put
that
really
plainly
so
so
for
me,
and
my
vote
and
I
I
think
that
sentiment
is
also
felt
around
the
the
board.
I
I
I
do
I,
understand
and
agree
so
process
wise.
We
we
have
budget
workshops,
we
meet
with
art
and
finance
committee
so
that
we
can
present
different
scenarios.
Like
I
said
we
up
to
22
scenarios,
get
feedback
from
you
all
see
what
it
is
that
you
are
comfortable
with
in
terms
of
a
potential
change
and
then
it
it
is.
It
is
impossible
to
take
the
size
of
a
budget
and
do
a
line
item
presentation
for
the
entire
budget
multiple
times.
I
We
can
only
do
it
a
couple
times,
one
for
the
first
week
of
the
budget
and
then
the
second
reason
of
the
budget.
So
that's
why
I'm
saying
we're
getting
feedback?
We
will
meet
we'll.
Have
our
financial
estimated
meeting
this
Thursday
get
additional
feedback
based
on
that
we
will
create
what
I
talked
about
a
few
minutes
ago.
This
line
item
that
shows
by
the
types
of
expenditures
of
what
you
would
be
weighing
in
on.
R
Something
you
just
want
to
know
more
information
about
it.
You
know
once
we
you
know,
provide
that
data
to
you
that
information
to
you
I
mean
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
us
with
questions
and
we'll
start
a
document
of
all
of
your
questions
and
answers
and
share
it
with
everybody.
Q
R
I
C
I
C
Okay
and
so
I'm
not
going
to
repeat
member
Kelly,
but
would
it
include
the
gof
special
Revenue
eia,
not
just
dof?
We.
R
It
is
too
early
for
us
to
even
project
special
revenue
and
eia.
At
this
point,
if
we
were
to
put
something
together
for
you,
it
would
be
a
a
very
raw
projection
and
I
would
I
would
not
want
to
put
us
in
that
position.
General
operating
fund,
yes,
Debt
Service
fund,
yes,
Capitol
Buildings,
yes,
but
the
special
Revenue
piece
Lisa
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
it's
too
soon,
we
don't
have
anything
from
the
state
yet
telling
us
what
those
future
projections
and
allocations
look
like
and.
F
R
And
so
on,
the
operating
side
for
an
automobile
would
assess
the
value
of
20
000..
The
operating
side.
Taxpayer
will
see
an
increase
of
8.52
cents
and
then
see
a
decrease
of
2.40
on
The
Debt
Service
side
for
a
total
impact
of
six
dollars
and
twelve
cents,
and
then
next
slide.
Please
and
then
for
personal
property.
With
an
assessed
value
of
ten
thousand
dollars.
R
R
You
know
we
will
be
presenting
additional
budget
scenarios
and
and
get
some
feedback
from
audit
and
finance
committee
on
steps
forward
and
then
we'll
have
a
May
22nd
board
meeting
where
we
anticipate
to
do
the
first
reading
of
the
budget
and
then
on
June
26th,
a
board
meeting
we'll
have
our
public
hearing
where
we
will
present
the
second
reading
of
the
budget
and
the
board
will
adopt
the
fy24
budget.
R
Are
they
always
the
same
time?
Oh,
oh
I'm,
sorry
about
the
ones
after
that.
R
And
if
there's
no
other
questions
that
concludes
this
budget
Workshop
presentation.
Thank
you.
M
I
really
want
us
to
think
about,
particularly
we
started
looking
at
The
Villages
and
raising
raising
them
and
whatnot,
but
we
were
to
go
ahead
and
raise
it.
We're
talking
about
7.1
right
now,
you
haven't
heard
me
talk
about
raising
it
to
9.1,
because
that's
some
of
the
models
that
we
saw
that
will
help
us
reduce
on
down
on
the
using
the
fund
balance
correct.
M
So
that
would
take
us
down
but
yeah,
so
that
basically
put
us
back
over
to
scenario
21
if
we
were
to
do
the
9.1
as
opposed
to
7.1,
but
then
also
I,
know.
Miss
Waters
is
talking
about
the
long-term
Deb
when
that
and
I
don't
really
want
to
get
into
the
weeds
with
this,
but
with
the
bridge
funding
coming
down
on
phase
five,
but
then
also
the
one
okay.
As
far
as
the
10-year
plan
correct.
I
Well,
so
so
these
two
things
that
I
think
in
in
your
statement
there,
so
the
the
sales
tax
for
the
for
phase
five
that
those
those
buildings
that
those
buildings
are
funded
through,
that
the
sales
tax,
the
long-term
debt.
That
is
the
result
of
bonds
that
we've
issued
in
the
past
right
going
back
a
couple
decades
right,
and
so
so
that's
completely
separate.
That's
not
paid
for
by
the
one
cent
sales
tax,
that's
paid
for
the
Debt
Service
millage.
I
So
essentially,
if
one
says
sales
tax
itself
pay
as
you
go,
whereas
they,
the
debt,
is
the
result
of
how
we
used
to
fund
School
construction,
which
was
going
into
debt.
M
Yeah,
that's
what
I
would
have
really
wanted
to
get
to
was
you
know,
let's,
let's
consider
9.1
as
opposed
to
just
the
7.1,
because
that
way
we
can
keep
our
fund
balance
where
we
are
currently
without
depleting
it
too
much.
But
then
you
know
we're
raising
up
to
7.1
right
now.
We
might
as
well
take
that
extra.
M
I
And
Mr
camel
when
he
was
briefing
he
he
mentioned
that
the
Board
of
economic
advisors
is
going
to
provide
their
revenue
projections,
their
update
and
I.
Think
I
heard
them
say:
I,
don't
know
what
the
finance
team
is
hearing
from
the
Columbia,
but
I
think
I
heard
him
say
today
that
there's
anticipation
that
revenues
may
be
coming
in
higher
than
what
the
last
the
last
projection,
which
could
could
in
fact
have
a
positive
impact
on
us
good.
When
we,
when
we
get
that
analysis
when
we
get
it.
A
D
Good
afternoon
first
item
up
for
a
Early
College
High
School
academic
calendar,
2023,
2024
Miss
Denny
Miss
Simmons.
Do
you
have
any
discussion.
S
S
The
calendar
is
to
accommodate
the
needs
of
students
who
come
early
and
start
try
to
Tech
courses,
and
it
also
allows
for
a
May
Master
session
for
students
to
work
towards
their
associates
degree
degree
which
we're
proud
many
students
accomplish
over
the
course
of
their
time
at
the
Early
College
High
School,
but
annually
we
bring
this
proposed
calendar
for
those
students
to
the
board
for
reviewing
questions,
I'm,
proud
to
say
we
have
Mr
Barrett
Breeze
here
who's,
the
interim
principal
of
the
Early
College
High
School.
If
you
have
any
specific
questions.
D
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
to
move
this
to
the
May
22nd
Board
of
Trustees
meeting.
Okay.
M
S
S
X
Q
X
Biology
one
two
and
AP
biology:
we
brought
it
as
a
package.
The
background
information
was
presented
as
a
package.
We
prepared
a
board
brief
on
last
Friday
with
more
information
for
you,
and
so,
if
you
would
vote
as
a
package
that
would
be
helpful.
Y
M
D
Motion
to
advance
it
to
the
May
22nd
meeting
removed.
X
B
Well,
Ms
Watley
is
chairing
this
meeting,
but
I
would
ask
I.
Think
part
of
the
concern
is
terminology.
That's
used
in
the
textbook,
and
so
my
question
would
be:
what
are
there
other
AP
textbook
options
and
do
does
the
AP
biology
exam
address
terminology
that
might
be
social
versus
scientific.
P
It's
a
good
question.
So
when
you
look
at
the
AP
standards,
I
try
to
provide
those
AP
standards
for
you,
so
I
think
the
terminology
that
was
on
page
1031
and
phase
298
of
the
text
and
advanced
placement
Biology
book
the
reference
gender
identity,
those
types
of
questions
as
it
relates
to
social
sciences.
But
if
you
look
in
the
standards
that
I
provided
you
again,
the
textbook
is
used
as
a
supplemental
resource.
But
if
you
look
at
those
standards
from
the
advanced
placement
knowledge,
of
course,
those
terms
are
not
referenced
inside
of
their
academ.
P
P
We
do
have
a
second
option
that
I
could
bring
that.
Actually
we
do
have
the
book
that
was
that
was.
That
was
the
second
option.
That
was
the
most
second,
the
second
highest
recommendation
from
the
teachers.
I
could
present
that
book
that
one
of
the
nation,
if
we
could
put
present
another
option,
not
the
ones
that
we
that
we
talked
about
earlier,
but
Dr
Berkeley
to
present
the
second
option
that
the
teachers
recommended
I
won't
be
a
problem.
X
There
are
five
textbooks
considered
vetted
researched
by
the
panel,
and
so,
if
that's
the
will
of
the
board,
we
can
bring
forth
the
second
highest
rated.
H
N
N
C
X
I
remember
up
top
of
my
head:
I.
Do
all
of
the
members
voted
in
favor
Miss
Whatley
abstained,
I!
Think
Mr
Grabowski
put
it
no
okay,.
M
H
M
Q
And
I
appreciate
you
trying
to
expedite
things
by
bringing
it
as
a
package,
but
when
you,
when
you
bring
four
books,
three
or
three
books
and
then
when
I
talk
to
teachers-
and
you
know
they're
weren't
even
involved-
you
chose
the
panel
but
I.
Don't
we
don't
need
to
go
over
this,
but
I
just
think
it'd
be
easier.
Sometimes
you
know
I
know
it
sounds
crazy,
but
it's
just
keep
it
to
one
book.
Instead
of
putting
it
as
a
package,
each.
P
F
P
Up
for
adoption,
usually
six
year
rotation,
and
so
what
happens
there?
They
recommend
a
number
of
books
based
off
of
his
biology.
There
may
be
three
or
four
books
that
are
approved
by
the
State
Board
of
Education
and
then,
which
goes
on
to
the
State
Department
of
Education,
so
for
biology
it
was
I
think
it
was
30
books
for
a
basement.
P
It
was
five,
and
so
these
books
are
generated
across
the
state
for
all
86
districts
to
take
a
look
at
and
pick
the
ones
that
they
think
this
Dean
supports
the
student
at
least
the
needs
of
the
standard,
particularly
advanced
placement
biology.
So
when
I
did
check,
I
do
want
you
all
to
know.
P
There
were
several
other
districts
about
30
other
districts
that
selected
this
particular
textbook,
because
it
was
the
one
that's
most
highly
recognized
by
the
College
Board
as
well
as
one
of
the
ones
that
most
colleges
use
as
and
as
I
stated
in.
The
brief
is
that
it
gives
our
students
an
advantage,
because
one
many
of
the
major
colleges
also
use
this
book.
P
So,
in
the
event
that
there's
not
a
three
or
four
examination,
then
they
would
have
accident
will
have
already
had
the
course
content
from
the
particular
from
this
particular
text
to
carry
on
at
a
higher
ed
Institution.
C
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
hear
from
anybody
regarding
this,
so
I
feel
at
a
loss.
So
how
do
we
get
this
moving
so
that
we
can
have
our
books?
Would
it
be
better
if
we
voted
one
book
at
it
individually?
Is
it
just
one
book
that's
causing
concern,
I
think
as
a
board.
I
C
I
I,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
from
a
process
standpoint,
so
we
have
three
textbooks
one,
that's
the
board
as
far
as
you
have
concerns
on
so
the
other
two
in
terms
of
the
logistics
of
getting
textbooks
into
the
hands
of
students
when
school
starts
in
August.
I
So
my
my
assumption
is
that
we're
going
to
go
back
with
this
AP
textbook
And
Delay,
the
biology
textbooks,
that's
going
to
impact
a
significant
number
of
kids,
the
number
of
kids
in
AP,
probably
far
less
than
the
number
of
kids
in
with
the
standard,
the
regular
biology
and
then
the
number
two,
the
you
know,
one
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
have
in
the
district
and
for
for
too
many
students,
even
the
ones
that
are
on
grade
level.
I
We
should
be
providing
instructions
to
them
above
grade
level,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
beginning
to
address,
and
so
Dr
Davis
talked
about
preparing
our
students
going
into
various
colleges
with
the
most
Advanced
textbook
that
we
have
so
not
only
if
we,
if
we
not
about
this
particular
textbook,
you
know,
are
we
going
to
do?
Do
our
kids
a
disservice
and
when
they're
going
in
and
compare
the
nature
into
whatever
universities
that
they're
going
into
so
it's
tuitions.
I
Once
we're
trying
to
accelerate
their
learning,
then
I'll
be
doing
them
with
this
service
because
for
one
issue
in
one
textbook,
okay,.
X
Waters,
we
got
a
question
about
the
term:
the
concept,
the
idea
of
gender
fluidity
in
our
research
and
our
examination
of
the
text.
We
could
find
two
singular:
let's
not
single,
if
it's
two,
we
saw
two
instances
where
those
terms
were
utilized
and
very
basic
general
terms
and
and
context
almost
no
deep
analysis
or
such,
and
so
we
address
the
concerns,
the
the
board
brief
on
Friday
and
did
not
receive
any
additional
questions.
Thinking
we
had
satisfied
the
question
at
hand,
but
nevertheless
we
will
take
the
matter
up.
M
X
D
X
We
will
make
available
the
textbooks
for
the
board,
have
them
on
or
preview
in
the
superintendent's
conference
room
or
somewhere,
where
it's
easily
accessible
for
you.
Thank.
L
I
want
to
speak
to
this
textbook.
Adoption
process
and
I
have
a
lot
of
ownership
here,
because
I
am
a
Scientist.
L
The
textbook
adoption
process
that
the
district
uses
with
teachers
is
very
thorough
and
the
state
process
is
very
thorough
as
well,
and
these
books
align
with
this
state
standards.
The
book
that
seems
to
be
of
concern
here
is
the
AP
book
which
aligns
with
the
College
Board
courses
that
are
being
offered
the
book
that
the
teachers
have
selected
is
the
number
one
book
that
is
used
and
when
you're
teaching
AP
courses,
you
want
to
have
the
best
book
possible
because
there's
a
lot
of
high
stakes
here
with
an
AP
course.
L
Students
have
to
score
well
three
or
more
on
their
AP
exam
in
order
to
get
college
credit,
and
so,
if
they're,
if
we're
using
resources
that
aren't
the
best,
we
put
our
students
at
risk.
Now.
The
topic
that
you're
talking
about
the
gender
fluidity
issue
is
is
my
is,
is
not
a
South
Carolina
standard
or
a
college
board
standard,
but
I
think
we
have
to
put
in
perspective
here.
What
we're
talking
about,
and
so
I
want
to
talk
to
you
now
as
a
biologist
and
as
a
science
educator.
L
L
When
we
study
the
history
of
science,
we
know
that
there
are
controversies
that
arise
based
on
an
individual's
understanding
of
the
science,
as
well
as
historical
societal,
religious
and
cultural
factors
that
get
mixed
into
the
debate.
So
we
have
several
examples
from
history.
If
you
just
Google
it,
you
will
find
them.
L
Galileo
created
a
stir
with
his
theory
about
the
Earth
that
the
Earth
revolves
around
the
Sun
Mendel
created
a
stir
with
his
genetic
studies.
Even
Einstein
questioned
himself
about
the
equations
he
he
predicted
about
the
expansion
of
the
universe.
If
you
Google
controversies
in
science,
you
will
see
this
interplay
a
fact
with
historical
societal,
religious
and
cultural
factors
in
our
society.
So
it's
about
the
very
nature
of
science,
where
students
get
to
ask
questions
and
explore
scientific
discoveries
at
the
upper
level
classes.
We're
talking
high
school
here.
L
So
when
you
think
about
students
and
having
been
a
teacher
in
the
classroom,
looking
at
a
lot
of
studies,
that
students
will
be
doing
with
genetics,
we
we
opened
up
a
whole
new
realm
of
biological
signs
when
we
discovered
DNA
and
now
we
have
people
getting
kits
to
figure
out
their
ancestry
and
we
use
DNA
to
solve
crimes.
L
Our
students
are
seeing
things
that
are
emerging
in
our
society
that
we
didn't
talk
about
before,
and
they
are
asking
questions
about
it
and
I
believe.
There's
an
Integrity
here
that
we
cannot
just
shove
something
under
the
carpet
so
to
speak
and
not
address
the
fact
that
there
is
science
behind
some
of
the
things
that
students
are
observing
and
that
I
I
would
be
glad
to
give
some
of
you
who
seem
to
have
a
problem
with
with
the
science
behind
the
gender
fluidity
concept
that
is
emerging.
But
the
science
on
this
is
real.
L
We
are
finding
a
lot
of
evidence
that
you
know.
We
didn't
know
that
there
were
X
and
Y
chromosomes
for
humans.
We
know
now
there
are.
We
knew
that
there
were
double
X
chromosomes
for
females
and
X
and
Y
for
males,
but
guess
what
we
are
finding
in
the
research
that
that
some
individuals
have
triple
X
and
some
of
them
have
double
X
and
Y,
etc,
etc.
A
M
O
O
D
N
So
well,
a
question
for
clarification.
First,
is
that
where
are
we
in
this
process
because
now
I'm
just?
Are
we
going
to
try
to
split
and
vote
for
the
books
one
by
one
and
then
at
the
next
meeting?
We're
going
to
have
something
come
back.
Is
that
where,
where
you
all
I
just
want
to
know,.
X
Yes,
we
will
do
that
and
we'll
make
all
the
information
and
applicable
information
available
to
you
so
that
we
can
move
forward
with
ordering
the
materials
for
the
start
of
the
Academic
Year.
Thank.
N
You
and
then
I
do
want
to
make
a
comment
just
to
the
board
in
general,
and
you
know
you
forgive
me,
you
know.
Y'all
are
some
of
y'all
are
real
serious.
You
know
real
meticulous
about
policy,
so
I.
N
If
this
comes
from
Robert's
Rules
or
if
this
comes
from
our
policies,
but
somewhere,
it
does
say
that
we're
expected
to
not
take
a
vote
or
a
position
until
we've
heard
all
inputs
and
what's
becoming
very
clear
and
I
think
clears
mud
to
everybody
or
clear
as
day.
Excuse
me
to
everybody
is
that
several
folks
are
coming
into
this
with
preconceived
notions
and
very
little
information
about
what
is
really
at
stake
for
children.
When
we
make
decisions,
we
cannot
keep
coming
to
this
day
as
to
make
ideological
decisions.
N
The
notion
that
we're
even
splitting
this
as
a
package,
because
somebody
between
March
and
now
got
together
in
a
room
and
said.
Oh,
my
goodness.
Two
of
these
Pages
have
words.
We
don't
agree,
they're
words
who
cares
whether
you
agree
with
the
words
or
not?
They
exist.
They
are
things
they
are
phenomena
and
if
our
students
are
going
to
be
made
better
because
of
their
experience
with
material,
then
we
need
to
be
affording
it
to
them.
N
And
12th
graders,
not
even
the
10th
grade.
These
are
17
and
18
year
old
people
who
have
to
be
ready
to
go
out
into
the
world
and
make
decisions
and
we,
as
their
Elders,
are
supposed
to
be
making
wise
decisions
for
them.
But
we
are
we're
we're
losing
votes
on
biology
textbooks
for
two
mentions
of
a
concept
that
actually
exists.
Regardless
of
your
ideological
position.
You
cannot
negate
that
the
data
exists.
M
Y
X
What
I'll
do
is
I'll
create
a
new
board
action
agenda,
outline
all
three
textbooks
one
by
one
by
one,
so
you
can
vote
on
them
individually.
D
All
right,
thank
you.
Next
item,
4C,
alternative
schools,
pragmatic
changes.
S
Thank
you,
Miss
Bailey
Dr
Williams
and
Dr
Apple
Sean
we're
going
to
present
a
proposal
regarding
Liberty
Hill,
Academy
and
Daniel
Jenkins,
on
which
they
work
with
those
school
principals,
Dr
Williams.
T
Great
day,
everyone,
how
are
you
all,
hopefully
great
all
right?
So
you
all
should
have
some
background
information
about
the
request.
That's
being
made
back
in
February
of
2020,
then
executive,
director
of
alternative
programs,
Jennifer
Coker,
putting
put
in
a
requests
to
have
all
of
the
eighth
graders
that
were
at
Liberty
Hill,
move
to
Daniel
Jenkins
for
a
number
of
reasons.
I
think
you
have
them
in
front
of
you
discipline
the
facility
sizes,
attendance
Etc.
T
T
They
had
one
teacher,
so
they
were
missing
a
science.
A
social
I
mean
a
science,
a
math
and
a
dla
teacher
this
year.
So
we
had
to
kind
of
piecemeal
what
we
provided
to
them
at
Liberty
Hill,
which
also
has
Middle
School,
Scholars,
sixth
and
seventh
graders.
T
We
did
have
certified
teachers
for
the
core
content
area,
so
we
don't
want
to
take
a
gamble
on
next
year
for
backup
for
lack
of
a
better
term
and
I
want
to
move
those
eighth
graders
back
to
Liberty
Hill,
where
we
have
the
certified
teachers
that
can
provide
that
instruction.
That's
it
in
a
nutshell,
and
if
you
have
any
questions,
I
can
definitely
answer
them
for
you
to
the
best
of
my
abilities.
O
T
Absolutely
yes
and
I,
don't
know
if
that
was
provided,
but
they
have
already
met
with
their
faculty
members
and
The
Faculty
at
Liberty.
Hill,
of
course,
is
on
board,
with
the
scholars
coming
back.
Mr
Shaw
has
done
a
really
great
job.
You
know
preparing
them
and
helping
them
understand
why
it's
important
and
I
also
speak
to
some
of
the
things
that
were
mentioned
in
the
original
request.
Like
discipline,
for
instance,
we
actually
see
based
on
some
data
that
we
currently
have.
T
The
discipline
at
Liberty
Hill
is
down
it's
up
a
bit
at
Daniel
Jenkins,
but
this
is
Miss
Middleton's
first
year
as
the
principal
at
Daniel
Jenkins,
it's
Mr
Shaw's
second
year
and
they're
both
implementing
the
restorative
practices.
So
this
is
his
second
year
doing
that.
So
that's
why
we
see
a
decline
in
his
discipline,
so
we're
not
concerned
about
that.
As
far
as
attendance
concern
is
concerned,
that
was
one
of
the
things
that
Miss
Cooper
highlighted
as
well.
T
It's
really
difficult
to
get
that
attendance
right
now,
because
the
communities
they
transition
so
much
both
the
alternative
campuses
and,
like
I,
said
the
facility.
As
far
as
that
was
that's
learned,
that
was
one
of
the
things
they
put
in
as
well.
The
hallways
are
big
enough
for
for
8th,
graders,
sixth
graders
and
seventh
graders
to
transition
at
Liberty
Hill.
So
to
answer
your
question,
I
digress.
We
did
meet
the
teachers
and
spoke
to
them
about
it.
T
D
Any
other
questions
some
motion
to
move
this
to
the
May
22nd
meeting
for
consideration
to
return
the
eighth
graders
Scholars
back
to
Liberty
Hill.
D
A
Q
As
we
know,
we
will
have
a
special
called
meeting
to
expedite
some
of
the
Mr
burrary
the
chance
to
move
forward
on
some
of
these
capital
projects
for
the
summer,
so
that'll
be
help
at
another
session
as
to
the
key
things
that
have
been
asked
to
move
forward,
or
one
of
the
interesting
ones
is,
is
obviously
the
Moody's
rating
update,
which
I
would
ask
all
board
members
to
read
very
carefully
when
we
come
for
consideration
on
that.
Q
Q
So
with
that
being
said,
I
would
like
to
just
basically
go
through
the
items
and
have
them
I.
Guess
it's
really
just
to
move
them
on
by
motion
to
the
board
meeting.
M
No
I
think
we
could
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and
move
things
forward
with
move
things
forward
with
the
actions.
Q
I
Just
clarification
so
awesome,
which
which
four
are
you
you
you're
referencing.
A
Q
Q
A
A
Y
A
W
Q
And
that
was
the
seven
million
dollars
I
think
that
Miss
Roberson
was
discussing
and
the
the
committee
recommended
that
we
go
ahead
and
and
spend
that
money.
So
I
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
to
move
the
motion
to
approve
the
reallocation
of
funds,
as
shown
on
the
attached
resolution.
We
just
push
it
forward
to
the
board
to
the
board
yeah.
M
G
A
C
Go
ahead,
please:
okay,
thank
you
who
Am
I,
who
am
I
speaking
with
Jasmine
or
Mr
burori
I'm,.
C
I
think
I
asked
this
a
few
months
ago.
Jasmine.
So
forgive
me
if
I
did
but
I'm
gonna
ask
again
so
this
was
the
proposed
approved
budget
of
21
million
539
and
proposed
proposed
budget
was
28
million
28.5.
So
you
have
a
savings
so
that
you're
going
to
reallocate
so
we
use
words
I
guess.
My
question
is
and
until
I
feel
comfortable
with
this
I
probably
continue
to
ask
when
the
construction
managers-
don't
you
have
estimators.
Was
this
project
overestimated?
Why
is
there
a
difference
of
seven
million
dollars.
Z
AA
Because
I
was
here
for
the
construction
of
the
DeForest
Stadium,
the
budget
was
21.5
million
and
we
completed
the
project.
We
now
have
an
opportunity
to
build
a
track.
We
developed
an
estimate
of
seven
million
dollars,
we're
asking
for
funds
to
be
utilized
as
part
of
a
reallocation.
These
are
excess
funds,
not
moved
from
another
project.
To
supplement
that
DeForest
Stadium
project
to
build
the
track.
The
schools
that
had
used
the
track
in
North
Charleston
have
lost
that
track.
It
was
Danny
Jones
outside
of
Park
Circle
North
Charleston
is
renovating
their
entire
complex.
Q
Q
Q
Since
the
audit
finance
committee
meeting,
this
has
been
a
big
discussion
throughout
the
district
at
least
has
been
posed
to
me.
I
don't
know
about
other
board
members,
it
definitely
affects
the
Mount
Pleasant
schools,
and
it's
really
kind
of
interesting
of
what
what's
happening.
Q
Staff
is
definitely
trying
to
work
to
get
free
meals
for
all
students,
but
that's
the
goal
at
some
point.
Is
it
achievable
at
this
point?
No,
it's
it's
not.
Unless
we're
going
to
go
in
I
think
the
last
number
I
think
you
sent
me
was
it
was
like
4.8
million
dollars
is
what
we
would
have
to
spend.
AA
Q
I
and
I
think
what
really
has
to
be
clear
is
that
we
haven't
raised
the
meal
prices
in
in
10
years
and
if
you
look
at
what
there
is
a
federal
fund,
the
cep
which
we
are
reimbursed
a
certain
amount
and
then
there's
this
amount
for
free
lunches.
My
only
concern
was
that
Style's
Point
obviously
qualifies
it
is
not
qualified
under
the
cep
program
towards
the
argument.
We're
making
with
all
the
Mount
Pleasant
schools
is
that
they
aren't
part
of
the
cep
program
either.
Q
So
sales
point
is
which
has
I
think,
as
it
was
pointed
out,
a
high,
a
lower
rating
than
used
Academy
on
on
the
accountability
as
to
free,
and
you
know
lunches.
So
it
does
seem
unequitable
that,
if
we're
going
to
exclude
all
schools
that
aren't
cep
that
I
don't
understand
why
we
just
don't
do
that
across
the
border.
But
I
know
there
are
arguments
to
be
made.
H
L
L
All
the
schools
so
I'm
certainly
not
going
to
vote
to
have
Sal's
point
be
removed
from
the
cep
program,
but
I
will
argue
this
I
think
all
of
our
students
deserve
breakfast
and
lunch
and
I
think
it's
up
to
us
as
a
district,
to
figure
out
how
to
balance
that
Equity.
It's
it's
not.
L
If
you
look
at
the
whole
issue,
there
are
people
all
across
the
schools
that
are
in
the
cep
program
who
would
have
income
levels
and
that
are
on
par
with
Mount,
Pleasant
and
Houston
and
academic
magnet,
but
I
think
the
equity
issue
here
is
that
our
kids
are
important
and
it's
important
for
them
to
be
fed.
Well,
so
they
can
learn
well
and
I.
H
C
It
I
I
agree
that
I
don't
think
that
we
should
just
raise
tax
food
prices
on
Mount
Pleasant
students.
I
wouldn't
want
that
to
happen
to
my
students
in
District
8..
So
what
I'm
going
to
propose
to
the
audit
and
finance
committee
is
for
them
to
maybe
hire
an
outside
consultant
to
see.
Let
me
let
me
let
me
back
up
and
say
this:
if
we
always
do
what
we
always
did,
we
always
get
what
we
always
got.
So
maybe
it's
time
to
look
at
something
else.
Maybe
we
should
Outsource
you
Outsource
Transportation.
C
Maybe
you
should
Outsource
Food
Services
and
see
if
you
know,
if
there's
a
savings
once
you
Outsource,
Food
Services,
the
labor
costs
that
you
are
worrying
about
in
regards
to
labor
450
000
benefits
will
all
be
on
the
shoulder
of
the
contractor
and
the
food
service
management
company.
So
I
think
that
you
know
it's
time
for
us
to
look
at
what's:
Best
Practices,
Beaufort,
County,
Outsource,
dd2,
Outsource
and
Richland
2
Outsource.
H
M
I
would
just
say:
Mr
Brooke
we
get.
This
just
came
up
to
me
since
we
had
all
of
them
financed
a
few
last
week
or
so.
Can
we
get
a
list
of
each
school
and
where
they
fall
within
the
the
funding
model
bid,
whether
they're
going
to
next
year
at
5
24
will
be
getting
free
lunch
and
free
breakfast
and
lunch,
or
whether
they'll
be
paying
and
then
the
percentage
of
how
many
students
inside
the
school
qualify
for
the
pre-launch
program.
F
M
List
of
each
school
and
see
where
they
fall
within
the
entire
program,
I
think.
M
I
wouldn't
say
it
would
change
much
I
would
just
say
it
would
look.
It
would
give
us
a
better
understanding
of
which
schools
fall
under
the
free
lunch
program,
because,
as
of
right
now
and
I'm
sure
Walter
speak
to
this
a
little
bit
more
about
the
schools
over
in
Mount
Pleasant.
What
now
they
are,
the
ones
who
basically
fall
out
of
the
out
of
that.
M
So
we
just
have
a
breakdown
of
each
school
where
they
fall
within
the
program
and
then
also
how
many
students
within
the
schools
actually
qualify
for
the
qualify
for
free
lunch,
a
free
breakfast
and
lunch,
and
it
will
give
us
a
better
understanding
of
why
Mount
Pleasant
was
being
I
was
saying.
F
C
That's
why
you
have
someone
to
do
the
con
the
work
to
do
Consulting
and
then
they'll
bring
a
presentation.
It
doesn't
mean
we're
going
to
do
it,
but
it
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
look.
F
Q
And
I
was
really
surprised
out
of
all
the
issues.
I
think
you
know
you
get
faced
with
how
little
feedback
I
got
on
this
one.
So.
Q
Y
E
Q
So
presently
the
at
225
we
still
get
87
cents
back
with
their
government
for
low-page
students
that
brings
up
up
to
about
3.12
13
cents.
So
the
the
difference
is
a
dollar
something
from
there
versus
a
you
get
reimbursed
free
and
when
a
student
needs
to
remove
and
and
really
most
of
the
pushback
I
got
was
from
teachers.
They
were
driving
an
hour
into
Mount
Pleasant
from
Goose
Creek
that
had
to
bring
their
kids
in
and
they
had
to
eat
lunch
too.
So
that
was
yeah
in
the
last
census
was
proposed.
Q
Really
that
was
it
wasn't
the
parents
that
were
coming
after
me,
it
was,
it
was
every
teacher
I
talked
to
that
was
teaching
in
Mount
Pleasant,
because
it's
going
to
affect
them
and
they
couldn't
understand
how
it
was
affecting
them
because
they're
coming
from
Goose
Creek,
but
because
that's
where
they
were
working
and
they're
bringing
their
kids,
it
does
affect
them.
So
it
does
affect
teachers.
AA
To
meet
me
for
their
meals
to
do
to
learn
about
the
teachers,
kids,
the
teachers
kids,
that
they
bring
in
school,
yeah
yeah
Walter's
answer
was
related
to
paying
for
teachers.
One
teachers
themselves
launches
that's
been
calculated
before
requested
by
the
last
word
and
I
want
to
say
that
cost
was
over
four
million
dollars
to
provide
teachers
free
lunch.
So
I,
that's
where
Walter
was
thinking.
Q
And
I
just
think
it's
just
so
clear
that
we
haven't
done
anything
in
the
rate
increase
for
10
years.
I
think
so.
The
amount
seeps
kind
of
amazingly
small
when
you
take
in
that
factor
and
what
we're
faced
with
is
just
not
regular
people
pretty
impressed
that
how
low
the
increase
is,
but
at
the
same
time,
I
think
it's
just
the
equity
argument
that
you
hear
about
anyway.
Q
The
last
one
is
the
well
we're
going
to
be
handling
the
approve
of
the
budget
projects
250
in
a
special
meeting.
It's
the
first
reading
of
the
FY
24
budget
and
I
think
we've
already
done
that
through
the
workshop,
pretty.
F
I
Thank
you
ma'am,
so
this
is
Carrio
from
last
month's
on
board
meeting
in
the
calendar
that
we
had
last
month
for
the
months
of
July,
December
and
April.
We
had
a
single
meeting
phase
for
those
months
because
of
all
the
July
4th
holiday,
the
the
holidays
in
December,
as
well
as
spring
break,
so
we've
modified
the
calendar
to
add
for
April
during
the
spring
break
week.
I
A
The
on
the
background
in
the
administrative
content,
that's
the
same
correct.
This
was
this:
is
the
these
two
calendars
I
pulled
up
that
there
they
read
the
same.
That's
what
you
intended
right.
A
Everything
was
uniform
on
them.
Like
I
said
we
had
discussion
at
the
last
Cal
meeting.
Lots
of
different
ideas
were
being
thrown
around,
but
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
wasn't
an
error
that
both
of
those
are
supposed
to
be
the
same.
Okay,.
Z
L
I,
looked
at
the
calendar
and
I
I
didn't
see
that
I
didn't
feel
it
reflected
the
discussion
we
had
main
concern
I
have
about.
It
is
if
we
combine
the
Kyle
and
the
board
meeting
in
one
session
that
issues
of
public
concern
in
the
cow
meeting
can
be
carried
over
to
the
board
meeting
without
public
input.
So
I
don't
like
to
just
identify
problems
without
Solutions.
So
when
I
looked
at
the
calendar,
I
thought
of
a
couple
of
scenarios,
one
the
in
July
there
are
five
Mondays.
L
So
if
we
had
the
fourth
Monday
in
July
as
Cal,
then
the
fifth
Monday
could
be
the
board
meeting,
and
if
we
keep
the
calendar
as
it
exists,
then
the
third
Monday
in
July
could
be
the
cow
and
the
fourth
Monday
in
July
would
be
the
board
meeting.
The
first
scenario
I
presented
the
fourth
Monday
in
July
being
cow
in
the
fifth
Monday
in
in
July
being
the
board
member
is
that
staff
and
board
I
mean
one
of
the
advantages.
They
would
have
a
little
bit
more
time
for
vacation
and
I
think
they
deserve
it.
L
So
so
that
was
my
thoughts.
I
I
would
really
like
to
see
the
calendar
be
changed
that
way,
and
then
the
December
run
as
well.
The
first
Monday
in
December
could
be
cow,
and
the
second
Monday
in
December
could
be
the
board
meeting.
A
I
just
want
to
ask
a
clarification,
you
said
actually
would
apply
to
both
July
and
December
you're,
saying
having
splitting
it
up
and
having
two
Mondays
taken.
Each
of
those
months
gives
more
opportunity
to
travel
and
have
vacation.
L
Well
in
July
it
does
I
mean
it
extends
it,
but
the
main,
let
me
just
back
up
the
main
reason
for
separating
the
two.
Is
that
I
think
it's
very
important,
because
I've
seen
this
historically
with
with
the
board,
is
for
the
cow
meeting
to
be
separated
from
the
board
meeting,
so
that
there
is
a
period
of
time
for
public
input.
L
C
I'm
particularly
concerned
about
July,
just
having
a
forethought
with
just
possibilities
that
we
really
need
to
look
at
changing
our
July
date
and
not
having
one
meeting,
but
maybe
two
meetings,
July
17th
or
31st,
or
the
24th,
and
the
31st
and
I
just
think
this
Board
needs
to
concentrate
on
the
month
of
July
with
some
forethought,
so
I'm,
okay
with
December,
if
it
needs
to
you,
know
everyone's
concerned
about
the
holidays
and
then
for
April
spring
break
is
April
1st
to
5th
and,
let's
see
believe
they
have
it
combined.
M
I
Oh
I
do
want
to
say
that
that
the
staff
did
take
the
take
the
feedback
from
the
board
last
month.
Based
on
that
feedback,
we
modified.
We
looked
at
all
three
months.
We
modified
through
April
to
make
it
two
two
meetings
and
then
we
did
stay
with
the
July
and
December
as
one
meeting
again
because
of
the
holidays,
and
so
so
we're
getting
feedback
again.
A
Thank
you
is
Roberson.
C
You
have
no,
that's
it.
I'm
done
so
July
I
highly
recommend
the
board
consider
two
dates:
fifteen
Seventeen,
twenty
fourth
or
31st,
and
then
April
just
the
correction
on
the
draft
calendar
for
the
15th
being
the
third
Monday.
B
The
so
I
don't
remember
off
the
top
of
my
head.
What
are
the
dates
of
spring
break
for
next
year?.
I
Tough
question
staff,
so
when
Anita
is
the
two
and
a
half
day,
Symposium
in
educated
Symposium
in
July.
I
Yeah,
okay,
so
so
so
there's
a
lot
that
takes
place
in
July
for
staff.
So
three
things
you
know
I
I
heard.
Thank
you
unless
you're,
maybe
Dr
Temple
mentioned
staff
vacation
so
I
understand,
that's
not
the
top
priority,
but
in
that
week
of
July
traditionally
many
many
staff
in
the
district,
including
principals.
That's
when
they
take
the
vacation
because
they
know
coming
up
a
couple
weeks
later.
I
Actually
we
got
to
get
back
there's
this
huge
push
for
professional
development
for
teachers
and
other
school
staff
moving
into
August,
and
then
the
third
thing
is
when
school
starts
teachers
come
back,
I
think
the
about
the
second
week
of
August.
So
that's
a
lot
of
prep
that
takes
place
in
July,
getting
ready
for
teachers
to
return,
because
school
opens
kids
come
back
a
week
after
kids
come
after
the
teachers
come
back,
so
the
week
of
July
24th
is
going
to
be
problematic.
I
L
N
I
think
that
one
I
actually
think
the
vacations
are
a
priority.
It
should
be
a
high
priority
of
the
board
because
everybody's
working
extremely
hard
in
this
moment
and
it
does
take
a
lot
to
get
school
going
again.
The
other
piece
is
rather
than
trying
to
to
force
the
situation
where
you
know
the
staff
has
already
gone
back
and
looked.
N
There
was
another
option
on
the
table,
which
is
that
we
can
address
the
issue
of
the
combined
meetings
through
policy,
and
so
there
is
another
what
a
third
way
that
we
can
handle
this.
We
can
make
it
so
that
you
cannot
discuss
or
pass
new
business
that
just
came
up.
You
know
an
hour
ago
in
the
meeting
by
creating
a
policy
to
deal
with
the
situations
when
we
have
to
combine
meetings.
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
us
to
think
about
that.
I
I
understand
we're
really.
N
You
know
honing
in
on
separating
the
meetings,
but
if
the
issue
is
is
really
transparency,
I
think
we
can
come
at
it
another
way
and
make
sure
that
the
the
Community
doesn't
feel
like
we're
trying
to
circumvent
them,
but
really
trying
to
honor
the
activity.
That's
going
on
in
some
of
these
months
and
I
do
appreciate
you
guys
splitting
up
the
April
ones.
A
Q
Q
Don't
even
have
board
mem
meetings
in
July
I
know
we
don't
have
it
with
the
state,
but
nevertheless
I
think
the
schedule
is
good
and
mainly
just
to
get
the
staff
a
break
and
I
know
even
for
board
members
I'd
be
amazed
to
see
it's
just
it's
easier,
so
I
do
appreciate
the
work
you
did.
A
And
I
actually
concur
with
Mr
krabowski
I'm
in
favor
of
keeping
it
the
way
that
you've
proposed
it
and
I
feel
like.
You
did
a
lot
of
work
to
try
to
meet
us
in
the
middle
and
for
me
personally
it.
It
works
out
better
for
me
to
lose
one
Monday
out
of
the
month
from
my
where
I
have
actually
pay
my
bills
to
rather
than
have
missing
two
Mondays
out
of
the
month.
A
From
being
able
to,
you
know,
get
a
a
decent
livable
wage
for
myself,
so
I'm
in
favor
of
keeping
it
this
way
in
recognizing
the
fact
that
you
guys
definitely
tried
to
meet
us
in
the
middle
and
I
think
it's
also
better
for
the
staff
with
the
school
and
or
the
the
staff
here
at
the
district
that
that
put
these
meetings
on
for
them
to
have
more
opportunity
in
July
to
be
able
to
enjoy
their
families
for
the
summer,
because
you
guys
do
so
much
the
rest
of
the
year.
L
Well,
can
that
we,
if
we
stick
with
the
combined
meetings,
can
we
really
ensure
that
we,
as
Ms
Courtney,
mentioned
that
we
will
not
move
items
of
new
business
from
one
meeting
to
the
other
I.
X
A
A
All
right:
are
we
ready
to
make
a
motion
to
move
this
forward,
or
are
we
gonna
direct
the
District
to
go
back
and
revisit.
N
Yes
and
that
so
I
won't
discuss
an
interest
yeah
so
that
so
I
I
want
to
make
a
motion
that
we
move
the
item
forward
and
that
the
board
will
look
at
its
policy.
Look
at
developing
a
policy
to
create
increased
transparency
on
days
when
we
have
combined
meetings.
Q
F
A
A
A
Does
that
need
a
second
Mr
Kelly
seconds.
A
A
A
Ty
and
make
sure
that
your
vote
is
accurately
represented
in
it
passes
unanimously.
So
we
will
now
move
on
to
item
seven,
which
is
closing
items
item
a
upcoming
meetings.
Our
next
board
meeting
will
be
May
22nd
at
5
15
and
then
our
next
Cal
meeting
will
be
June
12th,
and
with
that
we
do,
we
have
a
motion.
B
A
No
problem
is
there
a
motion
to
adjourn
all
right.
We
will
take
a
15-minute
recess
and
then
we
will
reconvene
and
then
go
into
specialty.
B
We're
called
to
order
the
May
8th
special
call
meeting
for
Board
of
Trustees.
Is
there
a
motion
to
adopt
the
agenda?
Hi
Sumo
moved
by
Ms
Whatley?
Is
there
a
second
Miss
Bailey
seconds.
F
Y
W
O
Miss
Jackie,
while
they're
working
on
that,
would
you
mind
the
250
contracts
that
it
says,
there's
an
attachment,
but
I
can't
see
an
attachment
in
board.
Docs.
Do
you
have
it
handy?
You
could
email
it
to
the
board
by.
O
B
B
G
A
B
To
approve
the
projects
on
the
attached
lists
that
will
soon
appear.
Is
there
a
second.
B
A
C
D
AB
Yes,
so
each
year
we
try
to
upgrade
at
least
50
buses.
These
buses
already
have
existing
camera
equipment
on
there.
However,
it's
old
equipment
and
electronic
equipment,
especially
cameras
on
a
17
ton
vehicle-
that's
a
big
Tin
Can
vibrating
over
time,
definitely
takes
away
from
the
quality
of
the
video.
So
each
year
we
try
to
upgrade
a
number
of
buses.
So
this
year
our
goal
for
fy24
was
to
upgrade
50
buses.
B
AB
Q
AA
So
in
February
we
brought
forward
the
fixed
cost
of
ownership
budget,
it
included
multiple
programs
from
Transportation,
Facilities,
Management,
playground,
security
and
each
of
those
programs
had
a
list
of
projects
underneath
it
that
was
approved
by
the
board
in
February,
and
this
is
essentially
the
execution
of
that
program.
Some
of
it.
Thank
you.
Yes,
sir.
O
Mr
broey
pardon
me,
the
one
that
jumps
out
at
me
is
line
item
17.
I've
seen
a
lot
of
items
having
to
do
with
roof
repairs.
Do
we
have
particularly
leaky?
Roofs
am
I.
Imagining
that
this
comes
up
pretty
frequently,
and
the
other
thing
on
on
that
topic
is
it.
It
is
only
listed
for
11
days.
Is
that
is
that
standard?
That
seems
relatively
short
to
me,
but
perhaps
perhaps
you
can
educate
me.
AA
So
I've
got
Mr
hammer
on
the
line,
but
I'll
cover
the
larger
portion
of
the
program.
So
you
know
we
have
more
than
80
schools
in
the
district.
For
those
of
you
that
own
a
house,
you
replace
your
roof
once
every
20
years,
and
so
every
year
we
have
some
number
of
roofs
that
are
prepared
for
a
replacement
because
of
the
size
of
our
roofs.
AA
So
how
we
work
at
doing
our
roofs
in
the
summertime
as
much
as
possible
unless
we're
just
doing
a
build
up
on
top
of
an
existing
roof,
and
so
that's
that's
why
it
appears
that
there
are
roofs
all
the
time
because
of
the
frequency,
the
phasing
and
the
fact
that
we're
we're
doing
this
all
the
time
for
the
number
of
schools.
As
far
as
the
time
allotted
for
the
are
allowed
for
the
advertisement,
I've
got
Mr
hammer
on
the
line.
AA
If
you've
got
any
anything
to
add
to
that
Mr
Hamer
related
to
that
I
know
that,
because
this
is
an
Omnia,
we
went
through
this
before
Omnia
contract,
it's
already
state
approved,
so
that
limits
the
amount
of
time
we
would
have
to
put
it
on
for
for
bid,
because
we
already
have
contractors
lined
up
and
it's
narrowing
that
list
down
to
just
the
select
vendor
so
Mr
aimer.
Anything
to
add
to
what
I
just
answered
no.
AC
Sir,
that's
that's
pretty
accurate
and
I
think
that
amount
of
time
for
the
Omnia
contracts
is
pretty
much
what
you
will
see
for
a
job
this
size
for
a
roofing
and
again
I'd
just
like
to
also
add
the
reason
that
you'll
see
a
lot
of
roofing
above
250
000.
Is
it's
among
the
most
expensive
work
that
we
do
in.
P
C
AC
Well,
we
do
do
our
Roofing
with
the
omnir
contract
that
tends
to
get
us
the
best
practice
and
the
best
quality
of
of
contractors.
But
you
know,
depending
on
the
work
and
depending
on
the
the
schedule
that
we're
doing
we
will
use
other
types
of
procurement.
You
know
we
might
be
able
to
go
directly
with
one
contract
going
out
on
their
contract
again
depending
on
the
size,
depending
on
the
schedule
that
we're
up
against
so
omnius,
most
likely
the
one
that
we're
going
to
use
for
roofing
these
other
contractors.
C
Correct
but
my
question
is:
like
Mr
Kelly
said
they're
14
days,
11
days,
11
days
three
days,
when
you
look
at
a
small
company,
they
may
not
have
an
opportunity.
Large
companies
can
get
packaged
together
for
solicitation,
but
not
a
smaller
company.
So
I'm
just
you
know,
concerned
that
we
are
running
right
back
into
the
5230
situation
where
we
are
using.
AA
See
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
address
item
number
15.,
so
item
number
15
we
have
a
contract
awarded
for
construction
management
of
capital
maintenance.
Every
year
we
modify
that
contract
depending
on
the
value
of
the
fixed
cost
of
ownership
program.
So
every
year
when
we
bring
the
fixed
cost
of
ownership
program
in,
we
look
at
the
amount
we're
going
to
be
spending
in
that
program
and
we
change
over
to
the
existing
Capital
maintenance
contract.
AA
That's
a
process
that
we've
used
for
several
several
years
here
and
that's
why
that
one
is
moving
forward
as
a
as
a
change
order.
Bringing
construction
management
contractors
in
one
at
a
time
for
short
periods
of
time
is
to
me
not
a
good
service.
As
far
as
the
product
provided,
as
well
as
the
use
of
the
taxpayers
money.
Construction
management
needs
to
be
on
the
ground
for
a
period
of
time
and
managing
over
the
course
of
years,
not
one-offs.
AA
We
have
two
general
contractors
that
manage
our
construction
management
and
one
is
handling
the
sales
tax
Capital
program.
At
this
point.
Construction
and
the
other
one
is
handling
Capital
Capital
maintenance.
AA
The
other
change
order
on
this
Contra
on
on
this
list.
That's
mine
is
eventworks.
That's
item
number
two:
that's
an
existing
contract
to
provide
services
for
events
at
schools.
The
requests
from
our
schools
exceeded
our
current
contract
and
we
chose
the
the
contract
modification
to
handle
that
increase
above
the
existing
amount
and
then
the
other
item
on
there
is
transportation.
That's
item
number
five
and
that's
adding
to
the
existing
camera
system.
AA
We
use
mobilecom
for
that
work
and
this
is
adding
that
number
of
cameras
with
the
funding
that's
provided
for
their
work.
So
in
all
three
cases,
chain
doors
were
determined
to
be
the
most
effective
way
to
get
the
work
done.
Most
cost
effective
way
to
get
the
work
done
and
make
sure
that
it's
consistent
with
what
we
have
in
the
district
now
with
the
existing
products.
AA
Correct
to
change
order,
so
it
exceeded
the
existing
contract
amount.
In
this
case,
Mr
Hamer
can
comment
on
eventworks.
Again
we
had
a
set
amount
of
work
in
the
contract.
The
amount
of
work
demanded
by
our
schools
exceeded
what
was
awarded
and
we
modified
that
contractor
to
increase
the
quantities
of
those
items
that
are
that
are
listed
there
for
rental
tables,
chairs
stages,
Etc.
AC
Yes,
sir,
that's
absolutely
right.
When
we
started
the
school
year,
we
had
a
contract,
a
purchase
order
for
an
amount
of
I
believe
it
was
something
under
200
000.
Once
we
understood
how
much
work
we
had
to
do
to
do
it
to
schools
and
then
also
have
some
estimation
of
what
we
have
to
do
at
the
end
of
the
school
year
that
necessitated
Us
increasing
that
purchase
order,
in
which
we
use
a
change
order
to
do
that.
R
Actually
have
the
list,
it's
part
of
our
South
Carolina
procurement
code.
It's
an
it's
at
the
back
of
our
our
district
procurement
code,
yes
ma'am,
and
so
these
exemptions
have
been
into
exist,
have
been
in
existence
for
several
years.
R
So
anytime,
we
were
to
add
something
we
would
have
to
get
approval
from
the
South
Carolina
procurement
office
and
then
once
we
got
approval
from
them
and
then
the
board.
We
would
add
it
to
this
particular
document
and
something
I
will
I
will
do
as
we
move
forward.
There's
been
a
lot
of
questions
on
these
exemptions,
so
moving
forward
when
people
reference
that
board
exemption
I'm
going
to
ask
them
to
state
which
one
it
is
like.
H
H
B
But
thank
you.
B
Is
there
a
motion
to
reconvene
the
Open
session
all
right,
so
move
Miss
Watley
moves?
Is
there
a
second
second.
Q
B
B
W
B
Q
F
V
O
To
clarify
like
to
make
a
motion
to
uphold
the
district's
original
decision
in
regard
to
this
employee.
N
O
Right,
I'm
not
sure
how
much
we
can
discuss
this
right
now,
so
I'm
being
cautious,
that's
correct,
I'll
hold
the
decision.
B
C
Okay,
I
moved
to
overturn
the
ruling
of
the
hearing
officer.
F
A
H
W

B
Mr
Calhoun
voted
I.
If
you
heard
that.

A

A
You
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion.

O
The
the
other
members
of
the
board
are
not
going
to
care
for
this
much,
but
are
we
now
adding
an
item
to
an
agenda?
That's
not
been
posted
for
24
hours.
Oh.
