A
A
B
All
set,
thank
you
Maggie
good
afternoon.
Everyone.
Thank
you
for
joining
this
special
call
meeting.
We
were
asked
if
we
would
meet
to
consider
a
couple
items,
so
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
ask
for
approval
of
the
agenda.
C
A
C
B
So
the
first
item
is
the
approval.
It's
it's
listed
as
the
approval
projects,
250
000.
The
only
item
that
we're
being
asked
to
approve
today
is
the
last
item.
It's
a
security
item
that
the
board
wanted
staff
to
go
ahead
and
try
to
get
secured
out
of
funds
from
this
year
bud
this
year's
budget,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Shawna
and
Michael,
and
they
will
explain
the
particulars.
D
Thank
you,
Miss
green.
So
the
last
item
on
the
list
item
seven
is
for
it's
funded
at
a
general
fund.
Funded
out
of
the
general
operating
fund
is
for
A3
Communications
day
one
the
bid
for
the
weapons
detectors
that
are
going
to
be
installed
in
schools.
I'll.
Let
Michael
talk
more
in
detail
about
that,
but
just
to
discuss
a
bit
of
the
solicitation
process,
we
did
a
solicitation.
D
There
were
two
bitters
bids
received
and
A3
Communications
was
the
firm
selected
through
the
procurement
process,
so
Michael
I'll
deferred
to
you
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
this
procurement
item
actually
is.
E
Hey
thank
you
Miss
Williams
and
Miss
green
good
afternoon.
Everyone,
so
we've
been
engaged
in
discussions
with
our
Board
of
Trustees
about
potential
security
enhancements
that
could
be
considered
for
our
schools
moving
forward,
and
these
discussions
have
been
happening
in
Earnest,
particularly
since
you've
all
the
the
shooting
in
Texas
last
school
year.
One
of
the
potential
enhancements
was
the
purchase
of
weapons
detector
devices
for
all
of
our
high
schools,
and
so
this
is
as
Miss
green
mentioned.
E
This
came
before
the
board
Monday's
committing
the
whole
and
they
approved
the
request
to
allocate
funding
toward
this
purchase,
and
so
I
come
before
you
today
to
approve
the
actual
issuance
of
the
contract
of
the
winner
of
the
solid
station.
E
I'm
sorry
ma'am
I
was
going
to
also
add
the
number
of
devices
per
School
was
determined
based
on
the
geography
of
the
school
and
how
many
entrances
they
have.
So
we
would
want
to
get
adequate
coverage
at
all
the
entrance
doors
and
provide
them
with
adequate
number
of
detectors.
To
do
that.
B
And
so
once
you
have
secured
I
mean
gone
through
the
the
final
process
procurement
process.
How
long
will
it
take
for
installation.
E
So
there's
a
approximately
an
eight
week
lead
time
once
the
order
is
submitted,
and
at
that
point
or
before
that
point
we
we
would
start
working
with
the
high
schools
to
determine
the
best
way
to
deploy
these.
D
A
Who
utilizes
these?
Is
this
existing
security
step,
or
is
this
going
to
be
school-based
non-security
staff.
E
So
initially
we're
gonna
have
to
work
with
our
schools
to
try
to
determine
that.
Our
our
initial
goal
is
to
try
to
do
a
pilot,
if
you
will,
within
the
schools,
to
determine
to
validate
some
staffing
models
that
we've
created,
and
so,
if
you,
if
you
remember
in
the
board
discussions,
there
was
a
recurring
cost
associated
with
a
with
a
full
deployment
of
these
doing
kind
of
a
soft
rollout
will
help
us
validate
some
of
those
numbers
to
see.
E
If
it
needs
to
be
that
high
or
can
we
do
it
potentially
with
less
but
ultimately
determined
based
on
a
full
rollout?
What
would
a
staffing
model
look
like
and
then
are
there
any
sort
of
other
intermediate
options
that
may
be
available
to
lessen
the
Staffing
requirement
for
sustainability's
sake,.
A
So
I
think
I
think
my
question
is:
will
this
affect
contract
gear
like
teachers
they
have
assumed
contracts,
we're
at
some
point
unable
to
fund
the
Staffing
for
this
fully
or
we
can
is
this
staff
that
can
be
reduced
and
expanded,
or
are
they
going
to
be
protected?
Employees
like
other
contract
employees
within
CCSD.
E
So
the
the
full
cost
model
that
we
presented
originally
involved
a
combination
of
using
contract
employees,
contract
security
employees,
in
addition
to
providing
existing
employees
with
a
stipend
or
additional
pay
for
overtime
that
may
be
incurred.
Based
on
that
again,
that's
kind
of
the
I,
don't
say
worst
case
scenario,
but
that's
kind
of
a
full
rollout
scenario
and
we'll
just
try
to
spend
the
next.
E
You
know
a
few
months
over
this
this
school
year
to
determine
what
our
long-term
needs
may
be
and
then
try
to
integrate
any
requests
in
fy24
budget
request.
Thank.
A
E
C
Sorry
to
be
slow
in
this,
but
I
know
we
I
think
Bowman
raised
the
point
last
time.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
follow
what
the
board's
expectation
is
in
terms
of
our
approval
of
this,
because
it
sounds
like
the
board
has
already
approved
this.
So
when
I'm
asking,
if
and
when
we're
being
asked
to
approve
this,
are
we
being
asked
to
approve?
C
Was
the
process
proper
or
are
we
being
asked
to
approve?
You
know:
was
this
in
the
budget?
Are
we
being
asked
to
approve?
You
know?
Is
this
a
good
decision
which
gets
into?
Is
it
appropriate?
Is
it
is
it
fair
pricing?
Is
it?
Is
there
a
top
priority
from
spending
like
I'm
just
trying
to
understand
what
the
board
expects
from
us
so
that
we're
doing
what
the
board
wants
us
doing?
This.
B
Apology
needed
because
I
had
this
question
myself
and
and
I
think
Shauna
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
answer
this,
but
it
it
didn't
happen
through
normal
channels
because
it
would
have
I
guess
come
to
us
first
and
I'm,
not
sure.
Well,
let
me
let
me
ask
Shawna
to
answer
that.
D
F
I
I
see
this
somewhat
of
a
hybrid,
so
I
I
think.
F
Ultimately,
what
we
want
to
get
to
is
that
for
anything
like
this,
anything
over
250
000
goes
to
the
school
board
for
their
approval,
that
it
actually
comes
in
through
the
art
and
find
estimated
for
a
complete
review
and
validation
both
in
terms
of
the
process
and
whether
it
makes
sense
for
for
an
acquisition
for
the
for
the
for
the
district
in
in
this
instance,
though,
because
of
a
couple
of
unique
situations,
one
the
board
is,
this
is
the
last
board
meeting
on
Monday
and
so
because
of
the
heightened
sense
of
the
need
for
Safety
and
Security
in
our
schools.
F
This
board
wanted
to
take
action
so
that
we
can
get
those
things
in
place.
So
what
they
approved
on
Monday
was
the
concept
of
putting
in
these
weapons
detectors.
So,
yes,
they'll
proved
that
and
they
approved
a
funding
source
for
it,
and
so,
when
it's
coming
back
to
the
audience,
finance
committee
for
this
particular
procurement
is
to
bow
date.
C
D
Are
we
are?
We
are
taking
we
set
aside?
The
committee
of
the
whole
request
was
to
set
aside
a
million
dollars
out
of
fund
balance
since
its
current
year
funding
and
the
budget
has
already
been
developed.
That
would
be
the
only
fund
source
for
us
to
use
at
this
time.
It
doesn't
qualify
for
us
or
funding
it.
D
Also,
we
we
looked
at
Donna
Bond
issuance
for
the
entire
package
that
Mr
reinbach
had
submitted,
which
was
50
million
dollars,
in
addition
to
another
100
million
dollars
that
was
needed
by
the
capital
Division,
and
when
we
looked
at
our
cash
flows,
it
just
didn't
make
sense
to
go
to
market
for
that
much
money
at
this
particular
time
with
the
pending
recession,
as
well
as
the
Esser
funding
cliff,
and
so
that
only
left
fund
balance
as
a
viable
resource
to
fund
this
initiative.
B
But
I
thought
we
were
going
to
reduce
the
10
million
that
we
had.
We
had
the
money
that
we
were
going
to
set
aside
to
support
air
sir
initiatives,
the
10
million
that
we
were
not
going
to
put
in
the
fund
balance.
We
were
going
to
put
aside
I
thought
this
was
going
to
come
out
of
that
10
million
it.
D
Where
it's,
how
it's
designated
in
the
fund
balance,
whether
it's
committed
or
uncommitted?
So
essentially,
we
initially
the
board
approved
to
commit
10
million
dollars
to
fund
balance
for
Azure
stabilization,
and
then
the
board
again
took
action
to
to
reduce
that
by
a
million
dollars
to
basically
fund
the
the
security
detectors.
F
But
I
would
also
add
that
I'm
winning
the
10
million
dollars
was
estimated
a
few
months
ago.
You
know
we
said
Sean
and
her
team
said
it
was
an
estimate
and
when
the
Auditors
reported
to
the
art
and
finance
committee
last
week,
I
think
it
was
now.
A
report
to
the
board
on
Monday
about
10
million
dollars
was
was
actually
higher
and
I
think
it
was
closer
to
13
million.
F
G
It
was
this:
was
this
an
RP
or
a
straight
fit
where
the
lowest
bid
vendor
won
the
award.
B
And
I
guess:
Shawna
we
we
didn't
have
y'all,
didn't
have
an
opportunity
to
expand
on.
B
You
know
the
discussion.
We
had
that
Velma
brought
up
at
the
last
meeting
about
a
little
bit
more
information
coming
in
on
each
of
these
I
assume
y'all
just
didn't
have
time
to
do
that
for
this
particular
item,
because
that
was
one
of
the
reasons
I
had
I'd
asked
Michael.
If
he
would
would
be
here
to
explain,
but
I
I
did
want
to
ask
Velma
if
she
had
any
particular
questions,
because
I
I
didn't
see
anything
additional
about
the
the
actual
process
in
in
the
documents.
D
So,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Mr
Green,
we
did
add
detail
to
the
justification
of
solicitation
column
where
we
identified
the
two
total
bids
were
received
and
we
had
selected
this
one
firm.
What
we
plan
on
going
through
in
the
future
is
to
add
more
robust
details
to
these
columns.
We
didn't
want
to
modify
the
entirety
of
the
whole
document
since
the
first
six
items
are
already
approved.
G
What
were
the
weighting
factors
that
that
you
evaluated
the
proposals
against.
D
H
B
If
not,
I
will
ask
for
a
motion.
C
B
Okay-
and
the
second
item
has
to
do
with
some
mid-year
budget
amendments
so
Shawna,
would
you
like
to
explain.
D
That,
yes,
ma'am,
thank
you
Ms
Green.
So
when
we
developed
the
fr-23
budgets
we
left
we,
we
added
a
clause
to
the
narrative
and
discussed
with
the
board.
There
would
be
a
mid-year,
potentially
a
mid-year
budget
amendment.
Once
we
assessed
additional
needs
from
the
operations
there
were
a
few
outliers
that
that
came
in
to
play
in
that
discussion.
One
is
the
FY
is
the
actual
facilities
maintenance
plant
operation
increase
for
new
custodial
contracts?
It
goes
into
effect,
January,
2023,
2023
and
the
other
items
are
for
athletics.
D
They'll
use
an
additional
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
fund
seven
athletic
directors,
in
addition
to
coaching
stipends
will
increase
by
10
percent,
and
so
those
three
items
and
none
of
those
three
items
are
about
1.3
million
dollar
increase
in
the
FY
23
budget.
This
will
come
from
fund
balance
to
fund
these
initiatives
and
we're
asking
for
the
committee
to
review
and
approve
this
budget
amendment.
B
And
this
says
on
information
only,
but
it
does
Google
of
the
yes
right,
yeah,
okay,
I
thought
so
I'm
I
am
I,
I
mean
I,
I'm,
I'm,
okay,
to
fund
I
meant
to
approve
this,
but
I
am
a
little
concerned
and
I
know
we
have
a
little
extra
money
and-
and
you
won't
have
to
listen
at
me-
talk
about
fun
balance
after
the
day.
A
B
You
know
that
that
does
you
know
concern
me
a
little
bit
that
you
know.
We
don't
start
just
you
know
a
little
here
and
a
little
there
and
a
little
here
I
know
you
guys
are
watching
it
and
I'm,
and
so
it's
not
a
matter
of
I,
don't
think
you
are
but
I
I
had
I
have
to
go
on
the
record
by
saying
that
so
I've
said
it.
I
You
want
me
to
take
that
Miss
Williams,
that
thank
you,
Ms
Bellman
good,
good
question.
So
these
are
not
new
positions.
Seven
of
our
athletic
directors,
out
of
nine
are
part-time
teachers,
part-time
athletic
directors.
So
these
seven
individuals
are
at
work
now.
I
What
happens
is
that
their
athletic
Duties
are
extremely
limited
because
they're
teaching
classes,
and
so
what
happens
is
that
the
school
takes
one
of
their
teaching
points,
that
they
should
have
a
full-time
teacher
and
saying
okay,
you're
you're
going
to
be
an
athletic
director,
but
you're
still
going
to
teach
two
classes
because
I'm
paying
for
it
with
my
school
money.
I
This
levels,
the
playing
field
in
all
of
our
schools
and
allows
the
schools
to
take
that
point
back
into
the
teachers
into
the
into
education.
This
lines
us
up
with
all
other
counties
around
us,
Berkeley
Dorchester,
Ori
Georgetown.
They
all
have
full-time
athletic
directors
in
their
high
school.
So
it's
it
allows
our
athletic
directors
to
focus
on
it
products
and
allows
a
full-time
teacher
where
those
are
are
being
used
right
now,.
G
A
I
C
I
This
year
we
funded
academic
magnet
just
after
the
school
year
started
because
of
the
State
provision
of
having
School
of
the
Arts
being
allowed
to
play
at
that
campus,
which
really
added
to
the
complexity
of
academic
magnets.
So
so
three
of
our
schools
had
full-time
full-time,
athletic
directors
with
one
of
them
starting
this
year.
One
of
the
three.
I
That
it
is
to
allow
those
athletic
directors
to
be
full-time,
athletic
directors
being
paid
for
with
this
reallocation,
and
then
the
school
takes
the
allocation
that
they
had
partially
used
for
academics
and
have
a
full-time
teacher.
So
it
to
your
point,
there
would
be
an
additional
person
at
those
schools.
G
I
A
That's
already
going
to
require
a
tax
increase
before
we
ever
go
into
the
budget
season
of
looking
at
normal
increases
in
expenses
and
I
would
just
caution
that
that's
I
I
understand
the
need
for
the
full-time
athletic
directors.
I
understand
the
all
of
that,
but
we
didn't
do
that
in
a
vacuum.
We
did
that
after
raising
taxes
last
year,
we
did
that
after
dipping
into
fund
balance
for
this
or
that
or
the
other
and
I
I
would
just
caution
us
fiscally
to
kind
of
take
a
look
at
that
more
holistically.
F
And
I
I
agree
to
that
point.
This
coach
and
to
the
CFO
Sean
is
just
just
to
acknowledge
that
when
we
started
this
process
actually
months
ago,
there
was
the
the
request
was
much
higher,
so
she
has
been
working
diligently
to
make
sure
that
she
adheres
to
the
fiscal
responsibility
so
that
we
don't
don't
get
into
this
ongoing
budget
creep.
D
Thank
you,
Kennedy
I
was
going
to
mention
that
as
well.
I
diligently
watched
the
fund
balance
in
our
expenses
and
compounding
cost
you
over
here
and
and
then
we
have
very
robust
conversations
around
it
and
how
we
mitigate
risk
in
the
future
around
it.
C
I
I
apologize
but
I'm
going
to
accuse
myself
from
this
item.
If
that's
okay,
I
just
I've
got
two
kids
who
are
heavily
involved
in
sports
and
I
feel
like
it
might
be
inappropriate
for
me
to
be
voting
on
on
this
matter.
F
Well,
I
I
would
I
mean
certainly
I'm
not
going
to
challenge.
We
have
one
the
position
to
recuse
himself
but
to
Jeff's
point
when
you
take
a
look
at
the
athletic
programs
in
our
surrounding
school
districts.
I'm,
not
sure
the
word
I
think
the
word
I
heard
maybe
was
robust,
I
mean
and
if
you
take
a
look
at
across
the
state
of
South
Carolina,
it
is
it's
just
I
mean
the
idea
that
we
don't
have
more
support
for
for
our
young
people
to
get
into
Athletics.
F
A
You
know,
and
and
I
do
appreciate
that
and
I
do
agree.
I
mean
I
come
from
the
upstate,
where
it's
absolutely
unheard
of
not
to
have
these
things.
You
are
correct.
It's
just
that
we
didn't
do
this
in
a
vacuum.
We
did
this
by
adding
other
things
around
and
I'm
just
cautioning
to
take
a
more
holistic
view,
but
I
am
going
to
make
a
motion
to
approve
this
I
think
it
is
a
I
think
it
is
a
worthy
idea
enjoys
if
that's
okay
I'll
make
that
motion.
A
She's
having
okay,
so
she's
having
some
technical
difficulties,
I
believe
this
is
the
last
item
we
have
so
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
approve.
Is
there
a
second.
A
And
so
with
Mr,
Griffin,
abstaining
and
Joyce
is
not
able
to
vote
is
what's
everyone
else?
Do
we
have
them?
Do
we
have
a
quorum
to
vote
I'm
I'm
back
on
all
right?
Thank
you.
So.
G
B
Poses
okay,
I,
don't
care!
Thank
you!
Cindy
I,
don't
know!
What's
going
on,
but
I
kept
going
without
me
and
assuming
anything
else,
Jeff
anything
else,
Mr
Kennedy
anything
else.
You
all
need
to
say
to
us.
D
I
B
Well
with
that
being
said,
the
meeting
stands
adjourned
again.
Thank
you
all
for
your
attention
to
this
meeting
today.
