Okay,
well,
we
will
all
have
a
moment
of
silence
like
we
always
do
to
contemplate
the
work
we
do
collectively
on
the
board
and
as
a
community
on
behalf
of
our
children
and,

have
a

of,
silence
want

Alvarez,

Matthews,

F
We've
got
several
things
in
celebrations
tonight
and
would
love
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
doing
a
lot
of
I
think
Community
work
and
work
across
the
state
really
having
the
opportunity
to
celebrate
the
work
that
we
do
here
in
Chatham.
County
first
thing
I
want
to
share
with
you
is
we're
so
very
proud
of
our
students.
100
of
our
students
participated
in
the
development
of
a
video
for
the
my
future.
Nc
work
that's
being
done
across
the
state.
F
This
is
the
college
attainment
work
that
says
that
by
the
year
2030
we
need
2
million
individuals
in
the
state
with
credentials
of
value
and
or
college
degrees,
and
that
means
Workforce
credentials
all
through
our
students.
They
came
here
and
we
did
the
video
at
Seaford
High
School,
but
it's
represent.
It
represents
students
from
all
of
our
high
schools
and
our
students
who
have
speaking
roles
if
you'll
move
it
up
just
a
little
bit.
F
Those
students
were
able
to
go
to
the
launch
at
downtown
and
were
able
to
meet
the
the
governor,
the
speaker
of
the
house
and
the
president
of
the
Senate
at
that
meeting,
and
we're
really
featured
as
as
students
across
the
state,
so
Chatham
County
was
very
engaged
in
that
process.
We're
very
proud
of
that
work.
Next
slide.
F
I
was
also
given
the
opportunity
to
really
share
the
work
at
the
the
eggs
and
issues
session
across
the
state
where
we
generally
have
a
lot
of
individuals
who
come
to
speak
of
educational
issues
and
advocacy
around
those
issues
across
the
state.
Next
slide.
I
was
also
invited
to
support
and
share
with
the
bipartisan
host
housing
legislator,
legislators
Retreat
to
really
talk
about
the
Recruitment
and
Retention
of
teachers
across
the
state,
and
if
you
see
there
you
have,
this
was
actually
I'm.
F
Sorry
speaking
on
the
academic
achievement
and
the
new
accountability
system
across
the
state-
and
so
you
have.
This
was
a
discussion
with
Dr
Mike
Marr
and
Dr
Diana
Elise
from
UNC
around
what
the
legislators
as
they
begin,
the
work
of
looking
at
the
new
accountability
model
and
what
they
could
do
to
to
strengthen
it
and
support
schools.
So
it
was
a
great
event.
F
Just
go
on
next
slide.
Just
had
the
ability
again
had
the
opportunity
to
share
the
work
of
Chatham
County
at
a
university
recently
just
trying
very
hard
to
recruit
teachers
from
all
over
the
country.
So
this
is
a
one
of
the
opportunities
that
was
provided
next
slide.
Please,
the
spelling
bee.
F
We
were
so
very
excited
to
again
have
our
second
spelling
bee
I
think
we
had
double
the
numbers,
it
not
double
close
to
double
the
number
of
participants
and
so
we're
very,
very
excited
for
Ryan
Sarah,
a
student
at
Margaret
Pollard,
Middle
School,
who
was
our
winner
and
he's
going
on
to
the
I
believe,
Regional
and
hopefully,
State
and
National
Beast
I'll
be
excited
for
him
and
excited
for
the
work.
We're
getting
better
at
the
B
is
getting
bigger
and
we
were
really
excited
about
the
turnout
and
the
students
on
their
work.
F
That
went
into
it-
it's
not
just
that
night
at
the
B.
Many
many
folk
are
spending
a
lot
of
time
in
cars
and
carpools
and
halls
and
doctors
offices
at
the
dinner
table
practicing
these
words,
and
so
this
is
a
celebration
of
all
the
work
that
goes
on
in
the
connection
with
our
families
next
slide,
please.
F
We
also
the
board
approved
that
school
Justice
partnership
and
we
had
the
official
signing
at
the
courthouse
and
really
was
a
was
a
great
day
for
us
to
cement
the
Partnerships
that
we
have
with
the
the
juvenile
court
system,
as
well
as
with
our
sheriff's
department
and
our
County,
and
really
the
relationships
have
always
been
in
place,
but
the
school
Justice
partnership
was
just
a
formal
indicator
of
that,
and
so
we
were
excited
to
have
everybody
there
and
to
have
the
the
heads
of
each
of
those
organizations
sign
that
document
next
slide.
F
Please
I
we're
doing
something
with
our
foundation
and
each
throughout
the
community
we're
offering
opportunities
to
come
out
and
share
the
work
of
the
school
system.
We
found
that
it's
very
helpful
to
get
out
and
and
at
least
answer
questions-
ask
from
our
constituents
in
the
in
the
community
stakeholders
who
either
have
children
in
the
school
system
or
who
don't
they're,
they're
all
taxpayers
here,
and
they
have
a
right
to
know
what
we're
doing.
F
We've
been
doing
that
with
our
the
Chatham
Education
Foundation
and
our
first
one
was
with
the
women
coming
up
Arrington.
That
was
a
very
nice
well-attended
meeting
and
we
had
good
dialogue
back
and
forth
with
them.
So
we've
got
some
others
that
are
planned
and
so
we're
going
forward
with
that
building
support
for
the
work
that
we
do
in
our
school
system
for
our
children
next
slide.
Please.
F
We
attended
the
state
of
black
entrepreneurship
conference
that
was
held
and
led
by
our
County
here
at
the
AG
Center,
in
terms
of
looking
at
ways
that
we
might
be
able
to
get
more
of
our
students
engaged
in
all
of
the
businesses
that
are
involved
in
our
community.
We
had
it
was
well
attended
by
a
lot
of
the
business
folk
in
our
community,
and
so
we
were
able
to
look
for
opportunities
to
support
our
students.
F
Next
next
slide,
we
had
lunch
with
our
new
Senator,
Senator
Murdock
and
really
just
as
she
goes
into
the
session.
She
wanted
to
sit
and
and
talk
with
us
about
the
needs
of
the
school
system
and
get
to
know
the
school
system.
Since
Chatham
is
new
to
her.
F
So
it
was
great
to
just
get
that
started
next
slide.
Please
we
had
our
pan
advisory
meeting
this
this
month,
which
was
very,
very
well
attended.
We
really
did
a
lot
of
work
around
school
safety.
We
talked
a
lot
about
the
lockdown
drills
vaping
things
of
that
nature,
really
giving
them
participating
in
activities.
That
would
give
them
a
sense
of
what
we
have
to
do
on
the
ground
when
these
things
happen,
and
so
we
were,
we
were
real
pleased.
I
have
invited
the
parent
advisory
members
to
attend,
I
believe
the
May
meeting.
F
So
hopefully
they
we
will
have
them
come
in
and
meet
you
then,
and
we
have
our
margin.
April
meetings
are
coming
up
and
we'll
we'll
share
that
things
out
as
we
as
we
have
throughout
next
slide.
Please
we
had
our
educator
advisory
meeting
this.
This
meeting
was
really
focused
on
the
new
licensure
pathway
for
our
teachers
and
Dr
Diana
Elise
from
UNC
who's.
Also,
a
Chatham
County
Parent
who's
on
that
committee
was
very
gracious
to
come
and
share
with
our
teachers
and
to
answer
their
questions.
F
As
you
know,
that
is
going
through
the
state
board
right
now.
She
was
very
gracious
to
just
update
us
on
where
we
were
with
that
next
slide.
Please,
and
then
we
had
the
asdd,
which
is
the
association
of
curriculum
instruction
conference
day
conference
over
at
Pinehurst,
that
we
had
some
really
really
good
instructional
work
around
the
work.
That's
going
on
around
the
states
and
models
that
are
going
on
that
really
are
going
to
be
helpful
to
us.
So
next
slide,
please
and
that's
it
for
my
report.
F
There's
a
lot
going
on.
January
was
the
longest
year.
I
mean
the
longest
month
I've
had
in
in
a
while
there's
a
lot
to
go
on,
but
we've
got
a
great
story
to
tell
here
in
Chatham
and
and
every
day
that
we
can
do
that
I
think
we
should
take
advantage
of
that
and
so
I
celebrate
those
things
with
you
and
and
Elevate
them
for
your
attention
this
month.
Our
next
item,
Mr
chair,
will
be

She
and
her
staff
have
raised
and
contributed
funds
to
provide
additional
educational
opportunities
for
students,
including
helping
expand
our
college
readiness
program
Abbott.
She
has
helped
share
accurate
and
timely
information
about
activities,
initiatives
and
operations
in
the

Miss

partnered
with

10
years

not
mentioned
here,
is
also
her
work
in
co-leading
Chatham
reads:
our
literacy
focused
Community
Partnership
and
that's
with
other
community
agencies
as
well,
but
her
leadership
in
this
effort
brought
heel,
wrap
training
for
teachers
summer
reading
books
on
break
for
students,
tutoring
support,
school
supplies,
little
libraries
throughout
our
community
and
so
much
more
she's
a
phone
call
or
a
text
away.
We
know
she's
always
willing
to
roll
up
her
sleeves
and
help
get
all
of
the
work
done.
So
congratulations
and.
C
F
H
Good
evening,
Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
I
am
back
another
month
to
celebrate
some
of
our
great
folks
in
the
district
for
the
month
of
February,
our
parent
advisory
Council
recognized
Mrs
Jeanette
Horton,
who
is
the
instructional
program
facilitator
for
our
extended
content
standards
classrooms
across
the
entire
district
and
Miss
Heather
McDaniel?
Who
is
our
high
school
transition
coordinator?
H
So
Mrs
Horton
is
our
long-standing
district
level.
Ec
person
she's
been
with
us
for
a
decade
or
so
and
has
always
gone
above
and
beyond.
One
of
my
favorite
things
is
to
get
text
messages
from
her
late
at
night
on
my
work
phone,
which
is
the
only
one
I,
actually
leave
the
ringer
on
of
her
engaged
in
community
activities
with
students
who
we
serve
in
her
classrooms.
H
She
provides
support
and
materials
models.
Lessons
when
we
have
vacancies
in
the
classrooms
she's.
The
first
one
there
to
set
everything
up
for
the
students
make
sure
they
have
their
visual
schedules
and
often
takes
the
initiative
and
is
a
creative
Problem
Solver,
which
means
it
takes
a
little
bit
of
a
load
off
me
and
she's
really
passionate
about
what
she
does.
If
you
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
see
her
with
students,
I
encourage
you
to
come
in
and
spend
some
time
so
Mrs
Horton.
H
So
miss
McDaniel
was
a
good
steal
from
a
district
next
to
us
that
we
won't
name
she's
been
here
since
September
and
in
that
short
amount
of
time
she
has
expanded
Our,
Community
Partnerships
for
our
occupational
course
of
study
students.
She
goes
into
the
businesses
to
visit
the
students
models.
Coaches,
you
might
have
seen
some
pictures
of
our
students
tweeted
out
where
they're
working
in
Willy's
bakery
or
Carolina
cravings.
H
The
list
goes
on.
She
supports
all
of
our
high
schools.
She
has
also
stepped
up
to
support
in
areas
where
we
have
vacancies,
stepping
into
facilitate
IEP
meetings,
work
directly
with
students
and
provide
coaching
to
teachers
who
are
new
to
our
district
as
well.
She
recently
helped
us
bring
the
TPI
3,
which
is
a
transition
assessment.
It's
a
formalized
transition
assessment.
We've
not
had
one
in
our
district
before
and
she's
helped
us
Implement
and
launch
that
as
a
required
part
of
students
IEPs
once
they
reach
high
school.
H
I
Her
assistant
principal
Dr
Heath,
who
nominated
her
said
Miss
adlu,
is
very
proactive
in
building
a
media
collection
that
supports
and
reflects
students
of
all
backgrounds.
She
creates
a
welcoming,
inclusive
environment
for
all
students
and
a
learning
area
in
which
all
students
can
feel
comfortable.
She
recently
joined
the
site-based
equity
team
at
Northwood
and
has
made
a
positive
impact
daily.
Congratulations.
A
You
and
Miss
Guthrie,
you
said
there
were
no
public
comments:
okay,
we'll
move
on
to
information
items;
item
a
exceptional
children
program
updates,
Dr,
Moran.
G
Good

Mr
chairman
members
of
the
board,
the
presentation
we
have
for
you
this
evening
is
an
overview
regarding
our
CCS,
exceptional
Children's
Program,
and
this
program
currently
serves
13.75
of
our
district
students.
The
presentation
will
share
with
you
the
types
of
programs
that
we
offer
types
of
students
that
we
serve
the
types
of
supports.
G
We
provide
schools,
some
strengths
and
areas
of
growth
for
our
overall
program
and
also
some
areas
of
Celebration
presenting
tonight
will
be
Miss,
Sarah
self
Maddox,
our
EC
director
and
I'll,
just
Begin
by
saying
a
bit
of
praise
for
her,
as
well
as
her
team
who
many
of
them
are
here
this
evening.
If
they
would
just
you
guys,
stand
they're
here
to
support
her
in
the
presentation,
but
this
is
also
her
one
year
anniversary.
G
She'll,
be
sharing
with
you
quite
a
few
accomplishments
of
this
program,
but
I
also
wanted
to
share
a
couple
of
feedback
that
we
received
from
staff
and
from
some
of
our
administrators
noteworthy
things
that
we've
heard
is
that
the
increase
of
communication
with
our
principals,
as
well
as
staff
they've
shared
that
that
has
been
particularly
helpful.
Also
staff
have
shared
that
they
appreciate
her
structures
and
procedures.
G
She
likes
lists.
She
likes
checklist.
She
likes
things,
color
coded
she's,
very
organized
and
that
helps
them
in
the
work
that
they
do
as
well
and
then
from
our
parents.
I've
heard
quite
a
bit
of
feedback
about
the
efforts
that
she's
taken
to
involve
parents
and
also
the
level
of
care
that
she
gives
in
meetings
that
she
often
has
to
attend
as
well.
So
I
can't
think
of
anyone
better
to
lead
this
effort
in
our
district
and
she'll
share
with
you
a
little
bit
more
about
the
program.
Thank
you.
H
So
I
don't
know
if
you
notice,
but
our
hashtag
is
see
the
possibilities,
and
that
was
on
my
first
day
with
the
team.
I
had
gone
and
had
t-shirts
made
on
my
own
and
I
put
that
hashtag
on
it,
because
that's
the
message
I
wanted
to
bring
when
I
stepped
into
the
role
was
see
the
possibilities
every
child
every
chance
every
day.
H
So
and
we
can,
we
can
go
past
this
one
I
wanted
you
to
see
the
why.
This
is
why
we
do
what
we
do.
These
are
students
from
a
across
all
of
the
Continuum
that
we
serve
from
pre-k
up
at
the
top.
All
the
way
at
the
bottom,
with
Miss
Horton
is
a
successful
story
of
a
post-secondary
student
who
graduated
from
us
and
is
now
employed
with
our
nutritional
Department
and
our
OCS
students
in
the
community.
So
these
are
our
whys
and
for
me,
it's
about
the
kids
every
day.
H
H
H
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the.
Why,
behind
that?
These
are
all
the
areas
we
currently
serve
in
our
district.
All
the
categories
recognized
by
idea
and
one
thing
that
we've
noticed
in
our
district
in
particular,
is
increase
in
the
areas
of
students
identified
under
autism,
hearing
impaired
and
multiple
disabilities.
H
This
is
just
an
overview
of
our
staffing,
allotments
I
think
we
have
the
best
department
with
the
best
staff,
with
the
best
sense
of
humor
in
the
entire
District,
as
you
can
see,
but
these
are
the
people
who
come
together
to
grow.
Our
kids.
H
So
currently,
these
are
our
allotments
versus
our
vacancies
across
certified
classified
and
related
service
providers.
We
have
been
able
to
fill
some
positions
with
contracted
staff
and,
while
that
comes
at
a
slightly
greater
cost,
it
benefits
our
students
and
we're
grateful.
We've
been
able
to
fill
in
some
of
those
holes.
H
In
the
presentation
that's
linked,
you
see
there's
some
hyperlinks.
If
you
want
to
read
more
about
the
programs
that
that's
what
we
have
on
the
website
that
breaks
it
down
a
little
bit
more.
But
to
summarize,
we
serve
students
in
cross-categorical
resource,
so
those
are
students
who
need
a
little
bit
of
extra
support.
They
may
receive
some
inclusion
or
they
may
be
pulled
out
into
a
separate
classroom
and
we
serve
them
across
content
areas
as
well
as
social,
emotional,
Behavior,
extended
content
standards.
H
You
might
have
heard
it
previously
referred
to
as
self-contained,
but
the
difference
is
our
extended
content
standards
classrooms.
Those
students
are
taught
on
the
extended
content
standards,
not
the
standard
course
of
study.
Self-Contained
refers
to
the
number
of
hours
of
special
education
services
that
a
student
receives.
So
we
may
have
students
who
are
served
by
a
resource
teacher,
but
due
to
their
needs,
they
may
be
considered
self-contained,
even
though
they're
not
on
the
extended
content
standards.
C
H
We've
tried
to
grow
opportunities
for
feedback,
not
just
for
parents,
but
for
staff
as
well,
and
so
we
offer
parents
an
IEP
meeting
feedback
form
after
meetings,
so
that
when
we
know
better,
we
can
do
better
and
so
with
their
feedback.
We're
able
to
learn
about
opportunities
for
growth
and
Implement
things
that
can
support
our
parents
better.
In
those
meetings,
we've
also
started
Dr
with
Dr
Moran's
support
and
guidance.
We
have
started
an
EC
parent
advisory
Council.
H
We
are
taking
slow
steps,
but
they
are
about
to
hit
the
ground
running
with
some
events
that
I
can't
wait
to
share
with
you,
and
we
also
put
out
surveys
as
far
as
staff.
We
make
sure
that
they
have
an
instructional
program
facilitator
on
campus
at
least
weekly.
We
offer
our
EC
chairs
a
monthly
meeting
where
we
share
updates
with
them,
but
it
also
gives
them
the
opportunity
to
give
us
feedback
about
their
needs
and
we
send
out
surveys.
So
those
are
some
examples
of
the
ways
we
seek
feedback,
so
we
can
continue
to
grow.
H
I
truly
have
the
best
leadership
team
around.
They
are
passionate
Educators
and
they
are
committed.
Lifelong
Learners
and
I
think
they
form
a
foundation
that
the
rest
of
our
EC
Department
across
the
district
is
able
to
grow
on.
H
Just
on
our
leadership
team
alone,
we've
had
folks
work
with
ncdpi
committees
to
draft
updated
curriculum
present
to
the
State
Board
of
Education.
We
have
an
adjunct,
professor
folks,
with
multiple
degrees
and
certifications
and
who
continue
to
pursue
their
national
board
certification,
even
though
they're
out
of
the
classroom
I've
already
referenced
our
EC
parent
advisory
Council,
the
weekly
communication-
that's
linked
in
there.
If
you
get
a
chance
check
it
out,
that's
what
I
send
out
to
EC
staff
and
school
administrators
every
week.
H
Here's
just
another
little
window
into
our
world
with
examples
of
some
of
the
new
things
we
have
going
on.
I
was
able
to
write
a
grant
for
that
focused
on
the
retention
and
recruitment
of
school
psychologists.
I
give
Mike
Thomas
the
coordinator
for
ecnaig
full
credit
for
the
first
time.
In
probably
a
decade
our
depart,
our
psych
department
is
fully
staffed
and
for
the
first
time
in
probably
20
years,
we
have
an
intern
coming
on
board.
H
H
H
This
is
probably
the
part
I'm
most
excited
about.
We
have
some
new
events
coming,
but
we've
also
been
able
to
bring
some
events
back
that
due
to
covid,
we
couldn't
participate
in.
We
couldn't
offer
and
they're
coming
back
this
year,
so
mark
your
calendars
on
March
9th,
we'll
be
at
Pittsboro
Elementary
School.
Our
parent
advisory
council
is
hosting
a
community
info
and
feedback
evening
to
gain
information
styled
after
the
listening
sessions
that
Dr
Jackson
did
to
help
guide
what
we
do
in
the
coming
year.
The
Special
Olympics
will
be
coming
back,
April
4th.
H
We
haven't
had
that
since
before
covid
and
our
parent
advisory
Council,
like
I,
said
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
slow
start
and
they
are
literally
often
running
on
April
22nd
at
Northwood
High
School.
They
are
hosting
a
5k.
It
is
officially
named
now
it's
exceptional
strides
for
exceptional
students,
and
they
are
doing
this
as
a
fundraiser.
They
want
to
buy
some
more
curriculum
and
so
I
look
forward
to
seeing
all
of
you
lace
up
your
shoes,
9
30,
Northwood,
April
22nd,
our
very
special
arts
festival
will
be
May
5th
Mrs
Horton
has
been.
H
Our
high
schools
host
Unified
sports
events,
we've
been
recognizing
two
staff
members.
We've
also
been
having
a
monthly
student
Spotlight
to
raise
awareness
about
the
stories
of
our
students
and
their
families
in
our
parent
newsletter
twice
in
the
year,
we're
hosting
an
EC
and
AIG
family
night
in
collaboration
with
communities
and
schools,
and
that
night
is
offered
in
Spanish,
specifically
targeting
populations
that
we
have
not
historically
been
able
to
engage
in
IEP
meetings
with
as
much
consistency
and
then
the
via
community
resource
Summit.
H
Just
like
any
good
organization,
if
we
don't
identify
areas
for
growth,
we
become
stagnant,
so
one
thing
that
we're
really
looking
at
is
recruitment
of
Highly
qualified
EC
staff.
That's
not
just
a
here
thing,
that's
a
nation
thing
growing
or
consistency
with
data
collection
and
that's
supported
through
having
those
ipfs
in
the
building
supporting
our
teachers,
transition
planning
growing
our
parent
input,
our
EC
instructional
assistance
have
expressed
a
desire
for
professional
development.
So
last
month
we
were
able
to
offer
our
first
targeted,
EC
instructional
assistant,
professional
development.
H
Cpi
is
the
only
area
that
we
have
trainers
in
District,
all
of
our
academic
programs,
we're
having
to
Source
out
for
someone
else,
and
we
want
to
build
our
own
expertise
and
then
just
like
any
District.
The
funding
needs
related
to
staff
specialized
equipment,
contract,
nursing,
new
classrooms,
we're
growing
and
we're
going
to
keep
serving
these
kids
foreign.
H
So
this
was
kind
of
an
aha
moment
for
me
when
I
started
and
worked
with
our
leadership
team
and
said:
okay,
what's
new
since
February
of
2022.,
this
is
my
last
day
of
my
first
year,
and
these
are
some
of
the
things
that
our
leadership
team
has
accomplished
in
the
last
year.
I
really
want
to
highlight.
As
far
as
retention
goes,
we
have
a
new
EC
teacher
onboarding
process
that
provides
really
targeted,
one-on-one
support
to
new
EC
teachers
to
our
district.
H
I
reference,
the
EC
weekly,
that's
the
communication
that
we're
sending
out
regularly.
It
also
has
little
bits
of
professional
development,
professional
development
and
easy
to
implement
strategies
in
it,
and
the
EC
process
manual
is
something
that
I
started
working
on
as
a
program
facilitator.
We
launched
it
this
year
and
it
is
the
go-to
for
our
EC
staff
and
administrators
for
processes
and
protocols
to
follow.
If
you
have
a
question,
that's
the
place
to
go
to.
H
I
thought
it
was
only
going
to
take
one
slide
and,
as
we
brainstormed
all
the
new
stuff,
we
realized.
Oh,
my
goodness,
look
at
everything.
We've
done,
I
referenced
the
alternative
programming
we
currently
have
across
categorical
kindergarten,
class
or
kindergartners,
and
a
targeted
behavioral
support
classroom
for
our
first
through
fourth
graders
I
had
an
ipf
check-in
today
and
was
asked:
can
we
have
another
cck
class?
That's
going
really
well
and
I
said
we're
gonna
talk
about
that
some
other
time.
H
I
also
want
to
highlight
our
high
school
transition
coordinator,
Miss
McDaniel,
who
you
just
got
to
meet.
She
has
done
a
tremendous
job.
It
was
a
halftime
position
previously
this
year
it's
been
full
time
and
we're
really
seeing
the
impact
of
that
and
the
time
she's
able
to
give
to
our
high
schools
to
support
our
students
and
planning
for
life
after
us
and
the
other
fun
highlight
and
Miss
Dorothy
Watterson
is
here.
H
We've
also
really
focused
on
the
supports
provided
to
schools,
it's
great
to
have
a
district
level
department,
but
it's
meaningless
if
we're
not
in
the
schools,
with
the
teachers
and
with
the
children,
and
so
our
program
facilitators
are
in
the
schools
providing
direct
support
not
just
to
teachers,
but
they
also
provide
direct
student
support
as
appropriate,
whether
that's
because
maybe
we
have
a
friend
who
has
some
really
special
needs
and
their
teachers
out
that
day
or
because
we
want
to
coach
and
model
in
the
environment
that
the
teacher
is
in.
H
Social
position
and
power
dynamics,
we're
having
quarterly
ECS
and
OCS
meetings,
as
well
as
providing
additional
training
for
CPI
and
then
have
ensured
that
we
have
an
EC
staff
portal.
The
process
manual,
the
EC
weekly,
as
well
as
providing
reading
and
math
curriculum
to
every
K-8
school
in
the
district.
High
schools
receive
different
types
of
supports.
H
H
H
They
haven't
been
outside
the
house
when
parents
make
a
referral,
we
are
obligated
to
hold
a
referral
meeting,
and
so
it
has
increased
the
number
of
meetings
that
we're
holding
and
then
also
since
Cova
that
increased
need
for
mental
health,
supports
and
services
we're
able
to
access
mobile
crisis,
but
sometimes
it's
a
lengthy
response
time.
So
we're
we're
thrilled
to
have
Miss
Watterson
with
us
and
then,
with
the
increase
in
medically
fragile
students.
H
We
are
looking
at
spati
spacing
and
specialized
equipment
needs
because
we
have
to
make
sure
students
can
access
what
they
need
to
at
school.
And
you
see
some
of
our
friends
in
the
pictures.
One
is
an
ECS
classroom.
One
is
a
our
cck
classroom,
so
our
students
who
are
in
wheelchairs
also
need
to
be
positioned
and
moved,
moved
into
gait
trainers,
standards
and
we
want
to
make
sure
they
have
everything
they
need.
So.
A
Back
on
the
February
twister
just
just
says,
it
said:
no
parent,
equal,
no
meeting
protocol
help
me
out
because
I've
been
in
IEP
meetings
before
help
me
out
on
that.
H
So
by
policy
we
are
required
to
give
parents
10
days
prior
written
notice
and
then
a
reminder,
and
typically,
if
they
don't
show
up
to
a
meeting,
schools
can
legally
go
ahead
and
hold
the
meeting.
But
in
an
effort
to
increase
parent
involvement,
we
have
asked
schools
that
if
a
parent
doesn't
show
up
to
a
meeting,
you
halt.
You
don't
proceed.
You
try
to
call
the
parent.
If
you
can't
get
them.
H
E
Hamm
one
question
and
one
request
all
your
special
dates.
Olympics
and
can
you
add
I,
don't
want
an
extra
email?
Can
you
add
us?
No
I
mean
I,
don't
want
you
to
do
an
extra
email.
Can
you
add
that
add
us
to
the
list
to
know
when
these
things
are
because
I
I
have
fond
memories
of
going
to
the
field
days
at
Northwood
and
one
time
was
tackled,
To
The
Ground
by
a
student.
He
was
so
happy
to
just
see
me
I
guess
or
he
thought.
A
E
Back
in
prehistoric
times,
we
have
13.75
percent
of
the
students
that
are
identified
as
EC
that
in
my
old
calculations,
that
means
the
County's
paying
for
3.75.
Does
the
state
and
federal
government
still
take
care
of
10
percent,
or
do
they
pay
more
I.
C
G
B
You
don't
understand,
done,
I
just
wanted
to
commend
you
for
everything
that
you're
doing,
because
you
know
exceptional
children
really
need
extra
attention
and,
unfortunately,
around
the
nation
they
often
short
changed
so
I'm
very
happy
to
Chatham
county
is
you
know
trying
to
do
the
best
they
can
do
so
all
I
want
to
know
is
of
everything
that
you
said
that
you
need
the
growth
challenges,
whether
you
need
the
most
and
how
can
we
help.
C
B
D
With
all
the
I
mean,
this
is
true
school-wide,
but
it's
also
really
I'm,
especially
aware
with
your
presentation,
with
all
the
challenges
that
you
have,
that
the
motivation
is
so
high
and
your
dedication
is
so
high
and
the
ideas
and
the
momentum,
and
just
really
appreciate
that
energy
infusement
and
all
the
work
and
that's
really
contagious
energy
and
I
applying
for
Grants
and
all
that
that's
extra
stuff.
So
just
thank
you
to
you
and
everybody
in
the
program
that's
been
doing
that
extra
stuff.
H
K
Good
evening,
Mr
chair
members
of
the
board,
what
I'd
like
to
do
this
evening
is
give
you
some
information
about
the
work
of
the
district
calendar
committee,
a
bit
of
a
status
of
where
we're
at
this
is
an
information
item
and
give
you
a
sense
of
where
we
think
this
will
be
a
month.
From
now.
C
K
One
things
we
realized
in
doing
this,
so
there
are
two
key
components.
When
we
speak
about
any
public
school
calendar,
it
has
a
student
instructional
calendar
in
addition
to
a
teacher
or
staff
employment
calendar.
So
what
we
start
with
each
year
is
just
a
reminder
about
the
current
Public
School
requirements
for
the
calendar.
You'll
see
here
on
this
slide.
It
just
highlights
the
student
side
of
things:
okay,
the
start
date
and
end
date.
K
We
go
to
the
next
slide.
This
reviews,
the
employment
calendar
and
so
often
we'll
get
questions
questions
on
the
survey.
Just
you
know
why
can't
we
have
a
different
start
during
day.
We
also
have
to
keep
in
mind
a
total
number
of
215
days
in
the
full
calendar.
It
includes
at
least
nine
teacher
work
days,
the
minimum
10
annual
leave
days,
the
required
state
holidays
and
then
Veterans
Day.
So
again,
these
are
two
key
components
we
take
into
account.
K
When
developing
account,
in
addition,
Chatham
County
schools
has
board
policy
3300,
and
that
includes
all
elements
of
the
state
calendar
requirements
and
then
over
time.
As
a
school
system,
we've
identified
several
local
priorities
and
with
the
district
calendar
committee,
these
are
Revisited
each
year.
What
you'll
see
up
here
are
our
most
recent
iteration
of
this
first
and
foremost
protecting
time
for
student
learning.
It's
accurate
assessment
of
student
achievement,
including
protected
days
for
work
days,
you'll,
see
mentioned
in
that
third
bullet
point
that
mandated
science
of
reading
training,
the
letters
training
that
you've
heard
much
about.
K
What
we've
worked
with
them
is
being
able
to
use
the
schools
as
polling
sites
and
having
the
schools
not
be
in
session
for
those
dates.
The
final
thing
just
includes
being
able
to
promote
well-being
for
students,
staff
and
the
community
and
how
we
approach
our
work
days.
Winter
break
spring
break,
and
we
can
even
add
to
this
now
that
K-12
all
schools
are
on
a
nine
weeks.
Grading
calendar
I'm
wanting
to
take
advantage
of
that
appropriately
as
well.
K
So
as
far
as
the
draft
calendars,
our
task
this
year
was
develop.
Two
calendars.
We
wanted
to
be
able
to
develop
for
2023-24
and
also
2024-25.
The
value
that
provides
us
is
greater
transparency
with
the
community
and
also
the
work
of
the
calendar
committee
each
year
will
then
be
to
develop
a
draft
for
the
second
year.
So
we
just
needed
an
opportunity
to
start
on
this
path.
With
the
calendar
committee,
we've
met
since
the
end
of
November
reviewing
what's
working
getting
feedback
from
each
School.
The
representation
includes
members
from
all
schools.
K
They
devised
two
options:
option
A
and
option
b
will
refer
to
them
throughout
the
presentation:
option:
A,
that's
our
traditional
Chatham
approach
in
terms
of
the
calendar
dates
the
alignment
of
work
days
with
option
b.
The
calendar
committee
took
a
more
laser,
focused
view
on
1025
instructional
hours,
and
what
does
that
look
like
when
we
follow
those
State
requirements?
Option
b
also
focused
on
balancing
the
instructional
days
for
each
semester.
K
K
We
had
representation
from
every
school
included
in
that
770
responses
and
overall
in
terms
of
the
feedback.
As
you
see
I've
listed
on
the
screen
here,
option
b,
there
was
more
favorable
feedback
for
both
years.
To
give
you
a
sense
of
what
kind
of
feedback
we
receive,
the
balancing
of
the
semesters
was
a
recurrent
theme
throughout
the
feedback
from
parents
from
staff.
There
were
some
students
that
participated
in
the
survey
as
well.
K
The
other
thing
that
was
important
to
them
also
was
access
to
more
work
days,
spread
throughout
the
year
to
support
staff
development
and
to
support
breaks
for
students
with
spring
break.
The
feedback
regarding
spring
break
was
just
to
avoid
what
what
the
survey
respondents
identified
as
a
late
spring
break,
so
mid-april
right
mid
to
late
April
was
considered
a
late
spring
break
so
impossible,
avoiding
a
break
that
was
that
close
to
the
eogs
that
close
to
the
advanced
placement
test.
So
those
were
some
valuable
pieces
of
feedback.
K
We
did
this
so
here
based
on
questions.
There's
not
a
strong
degree
of
interest
in
more
early
release.
Dates.
There's
not
currently
a
strong
degree
of
interest
in
delayed
starts
for
professional
development,
so
those
are
some
topics
we'll
continue
to
explore
and
get
feedback
through
focus
groups
or
Community
Information.
K
What
they're
prepared
to
be
able
to
do
is
bring
back
option
b
for
both
years
with
the
one
modification
that
in
2024-25
the
option
b
calendar
that
was
originally
presented
spring
break
would
be
moved
up.
So
it
is
not
a
quote
late
spring
break,
but
rather
aligned
with
the
end
of
the
nine
weeks
in
2024-25.
K
E
A
comment
something
that
has
come
up
in
the
last
month
and
it
happens
to
hit
today
this
specific
day.
E
Some
states
are
considering
making
Super
Bowl
Monday
a
holiday
because
in
the
work
world
they've
seen
over
the
last
umpteenth
years,
some
bad
attendance
on
by
their
employees
and
I
didn't
know.
Maybe
as
before
my
time
30
some
years
ago,
I
thought
why
can't
we
have
Super
Bowl
Monday
off
you
know
and
just
throwing
that
out
that
I
don't
know
if
our
state
legislator
is
going
to
go
that
way.
I
don't
know.
E
There's
some
states
are
looking
at
trading
Columbus
Day,
which
is
a
Federal
holiday
more
of
a
northern
thing
than
it
is
a
southern
thing,
but
just
a
thought,
as
you
start
looking,
and
even
if
you
make
it
a
work
day,
I
mean,
but
it
would
be
great
to
have
that
as
a
is
timely
with
today
being
that
day,.
A
And
while
you're
thinking
that
you
might
as
well
just
tap
ACC
basketball
tournament
week
and
I,
don't
know
what
else
we
would
need
to
add
to
that.
So
just
wanted
to
mention
that
too
that's
more
legislative
thing,
I
know,
yeah
I,
understand.
K
Even
even
with
the
option
b
calendars
we
have
right
now
we
would
still
have
some
banked
instructional
time,
not
as
much
as
we've
had
in
years
past.
The
thing
to
also
remember
is:
we've
moved
into
this
era,
and
my
own
children
are
quite
dismayed
by
the
ability
of
a
school
system
to
now
use
remote
learning
on
an
inclement
weather
day
right
if
conditions
are
available
and
we
still
have
our
guidance
for
schools,
our
guidance
for
administrators.
So
that
is
a
tool
in
our
toolbox
that
we
did
not
have
three
years
ago
four
years
ago,.
K
Those
are
they're
specifically
there
for
remote
as
far
as
remote
Implement
right,
the
inclement
weather.
D
K
You
remember
there
had
been
many
districts,
including
Chatham,
that
did
use.
We
used
basically
a
wellness
day
and,
and
there
were
other
districts
around
us,
the
general
assembly
certainly
provided
some
Stern
feedback
related
to
that
practice.
E
And
I
noticed
in
her
last
week's
legislative
update,
there
was
a
pretty
decent
list
of
school
systems
that
are
asking
for
their
own
calendar
process
and,
and
the
list
seems
it
longer
and
longer
do
we
have
any
desire
to
do
that.
F
There's
only
each
bill
there's
a
maximum
of
10
okay,
and
so
we
can
definitely
bring
that
up
with
our
local,
because.
F
C
A
Representative
reasons
done
that
before
but
I
know
sir
too
was
it
elements
and
then
Moore
and
Randolph
I
think
in
particular,
so
I
know,
along
with
others,
but
I
know
those
were
some
that
that
touched
us
anyway
yeah
or
get
got
close
yeah.
K
When
we,
when
we
started
parsing
through
it
option
b,
hip
emerging,
the
I,
would
say
the
biggest
questions
we
had
around
option
b
was
when
people
looked
at
January.
There
was
comments
like
oh
there's,
there's
too
much
time
away
in
January
and
the
difference
between
the
two.
If
you
looked
at
2023-24
option,
A
versus
option
b,
it
was
a
day
and
a
half
that
was
the
total
difference
between
the
two
as
far
as
work
days
and
then
with
2024-25.
K
The
definite
themes
we
saw
were,
first
and
foremost
the
balance
of
instructional
days
for
each
semester,
particularly
as
the
schools
are
all
moving
to
a
nine
weeks
grading
period
so
that
that
kept
being
repeated,
kept
being
repeated.
Having
that
balance
between
the
two
we've
had
some
years,
our
option
A
so
that
traditional
approach
we
may
have
anywhere
from
a
five-day
difference
to
over
a
10-day
difference
between
the
two
semesters.
K
So
one
of
the
Strategic
things
the
calendar
committee
identified
was
trying
to
place
a
work
day
immediately
after
the
end
of
the
nine
weeks,
and
we
haven't
had
that
kind
of
consistency
in
the
past
or
that
opportunity
for
it,
because
high
schools
were
on
six
weeks,
K-8
or
nine
weeks.
So
where
were
you
going
to
put
the
end
of
the
grading
period
work
day?
So
that
was
also
seen
as
a
very
valuable
piece
to
have
that
kind
of
opportunity.
D
K
More
questions,
I,
would
say
the
biggest
thing
that
came
up
as
far
as
what
people
identified
as
missing.
It
were
suggestions
that
are
not
currently
supported
by
the
general
assemblies,
Public
School,
calendar
law,
so
a
lot
of
feedback.
Why
can't
we
start
earlier
and
have
exams
before
winter
break?
That
was
probably
the
biggest
one
that
would
come
up.
K
People
would
say
why
are
we
going
to
be
out
on
November
7th
and
that
again
is
just
more
of
a
PR
thing
so
that
we
wanted
to
include,
as
we
did
tonight,
that
we
have
a
relationship
with
the
Board
of
Elections,
and
so
we
want
to
use
election
day
as
a
non-school
instructional
note,
those
are
the
biggest
I
would
say
the
biggest
things
that
came
up
Facebook.
A
Any
other
questions.
Thank
you.
Dr
Matt
appreciate
that
very
much
and
we'll
move
to
action
items,
S2
door
badge
upgrades
from
safer,
School
grant,
funding,
Ms
Brighton.
J
I
am
here
this
evening
to
request
your
approval
to
purchase
an
expansion
of
our
current
S2
door
badge
reader
system
in
the
district.
This
would
allow
for
an
additional
door
badge
readers
at
16
of
our
19
schools.
It's
funded
through
a
safer
schools
Grant
from
the
center
for
safer
schools,
where
we
were
awarded
funds
for
training
for
staff,
these
door,
badge
readers
and
then
cameras
in
our
schools.
But
tonight
I
share
with
you
the
quote
from
Brady:
it's
a
company
that
we
have
used
for
many
of
our
systems
in
the
district
for
school
security.
J
In
this
way,
these
locations
were
identified,
collaboration
with
principles,
conversations
with
Mr
Blitz
and
what
we
know
of
standards
for
building
security,
these
door
badge
readers
are
important
to
our
physical
safety
in
the
buildings,
because
it
helps
us
reduce
the
number
of
keys
that
we
use
indoors.
It
keeps
a
log
for
us
and
helps
us
manage
who
is
getting
access
into
our
buildings,
and
it
also
helps
us
to
reduce
the
time
needed
for
emergency
responders
to
access
our
buildings
as
well.
A
Second,
that
a
motion
to
Second
any
questions,
comments,
I'll
make
one
I
was
visiting
a
school
of
the
day.
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
an
athletic
contest
or
something
and
Dora
one
of
the
doors
were
locked
and
one
of
the
employees
told
me
to
use
my
badge
I
said:
I,
don't
trust
the
board
to
have
the
entry
badges.
So
that's
how
how
particular
we.
A
Know
I
understand
that
any
other
comments
questions
all
those
in
favor
with
an
I
aye
any
opposed
like
you
Son.
Thank
you.
