B
Me
in
prayer,
if
you
would
Heavenly
Father
Lord,
we
come
to
you
tonight,
a
thankful
people
Lord.
We
thank
you
for
your
grace
and
your
mercy,
which
is
fresh
and
anew
every
day,
Lord
as
we
approach
Memorial
Day.
We
thank
you
for
those
who
have
given
every
full
measure
of
devotion
so
that
we
can
live
in
a
country
Lord
that
as
great
as
America
the
greatest
nation
on
earth
Lord.
We
thank
you
for
those
who
went
ahead
of
us
and
gave
those
sacrifices
Lord.
B
We
thank
you
for
those
who
are
still
serving
around
the
world
tonight
and
here
in
the
United
States
to
protect
those
freedoms
in
order.
We
thank
you
for
our
students,
their
numerous.
You
know
the
hairs
on
every
head
and
there's
well
over
35,000
of
them
Lord
and
they're
precious,
and
we
thank
you
and
we
thank
you
for
the
families.
They
come
from
an
opportunity
to
serve
them
Lord
and
to
come
tonight,
deliberate
on
policies
and
procedures.
That
would
benefit
them.
B
We
thank
you
for
those
that
were
recognizing
Lord
for
perfect
attendance
and
academic
achievement,
and
so
many
other
great
things
that
happen
every
day
in
the
Clay
County
school
system.
Lord
we're
just
so
grateful
for
your
provision
and
your
mercy
on
us.
Lord
I
ask
that
you
guide
the
selected
body
tonight
as
they
deliberate
and
figure
out
what
they
can
do
to
honor
you
through
our
positions
of
service.
A
Well,
good
evening,
our
school
board
meeting
for
May
21st
2015
is
now
called
to
order
and,
as
you
might
have
guessed,
I
am
NOT,
mrs.
McKinnon.
Let
the
record
reflect
that
mrs.
McKinnon
is
not
present.
Tonight.
Welcome
citizens
of
Clay
County
I
want
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you
for
taking
time
out
of
your
busy
schedule
to
attend
tonight's
school
board.
A
Meeting
this
meeting
is
our
opportunity,
as
your
elected
representatives,
to
collaborate
openly
and
make
decisions
that
will
decide
the
future
direction
of
our
public
schools
and
the
education
of
our
children
here
in
Clay
County.
If
you
wish
to
address
the
board,
there
will
be
an
opportunity
to
speak
for
three
minutes.
Please
fill
out
your
card,
which
you'll
find
located
in
the
back
of
the
room
that
look
like
this
indicating
the
specific
item
number
or
topic
you
wish
to
speak
about
and
turn
it
and
promptly.
A
Now
we'll
move
to
the
adoption
of
these
the
consent
agenda.
The
consent
agenda
has
items
c19
pulled
to
discussion
and
c8
was
withdrawn.
Mrs.
McKinnon
put
C
8
on
the
agenda
before
she
had
to
leave
on
a
business
trip
last
week
and
in
preparation
the
board
back
up:
it's
not
ready,
so
it
was
withdrawn.
I
withdrew
it
as
the
acting
chairman.
A
E
We
go
on
I'd
like
to
say
something
about
items
CA,
since
it
was
on
the
consent,
agenda
and
I
actually
pulled
it
to
discussion.
I,
don't
feel
that
it
have
been
withdrawn
and
Miss
mckennon
is
nowhere
in
the
country
where
she
could
have
done
this.
So
it
seems
odd
to
me
that
this
would
have
been
withdrawn
without
notifying
me
as
the
person
who
pulled
it
to
discussion.
First
I.
E
A
E
B
B
B
Now
I
have
to
just
share
a
story.
You
know
I
mentioned
earlier
that
grandparents
are
a
part
of
the
successful
equation
in
Clay.
County
Dalton's
grandmother
contacted
me
and
his
school
board
member
about
a
month
ago,
because
clay
High
had
their
graduation
senior
awards
night
tonight,
starting
at
6.
Our
meeting
starts
at
7
to
make
sure,
after
all,
the
investment
in
Dalton
get
into
school
every
day
for
13
years
that
he
was
able
to
be
recognized
in
both
places.
B
B
B
And
he
might
have
been
getting
a
scholarship
or
something
after
6:30
or
7:00
tonight,
but
we
will
have
a
makeup
day
at
our
June
meeting.
So
if
anybody
it's
here
tonight
that
knows
somebody
or
here's
the
name
of
somebody.
That's
not
will
be
happy
to
do
this
recognition
again
in
June
for
anybody
else
and
our
final
perfect
attendance
award
for
the
2015
school
year
comes
from
Ridge
View
High,
School,
Alexandria,
Marie,
kron,
four's.
G
Good
evening,
superintendent,
mr.
Kornegay,
probably
now's
not
a
good
time,
but
I
will
be
absent
tomorrow.
I
just
want
to
go
ahead
and
form
you
ahead
of
time
that
everything,
sorry,
congratulations,
those
folks
all
of
you
have
been
attending
one
of
our
great
events,
and
that
is
the
science
fair,
such
a
wonderful
event,
and
it's
that
time
of
year
we
want
to
recognize
those
students,
and
certainly
we
want
to
recognize.
H
Thank
You
mr.
Windgate
I'd
like
to
start
by
thanking
the
Clay
County
School
Board,
the
clay
rotary,
an
Orange
Park
Medical
Center
for
their
continued
support
of
the
clay,
rotary,
Science
and
Engineering
Fair.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
take
17
students,
14
projects
this
year,
went
to
the
state,
Science
and
Engineering
Fair,
and
once
again
our
students
did
spectacular
work
and
and
led
the
way
for
continued
success
in
Clay.
County
I'd
like
to
at
this
time,
recognize
Miss
Jamie
Shaw
from
Orange
Park,
I'm,
sorry
from
Green
Cove
junior
high
school.
H
If
she
attended
with
me,
if
she
could
come
up,
she
can
help
me
and
if
I
could
also
ask
mr.
David
Goldberg
who's
the
director
of
marketing,
who
has
been
instrumental
and
having
us
secure
scholarship
funds
for
not
only
our
students,
but
this
year
they
were
able
to
even
supply
additional
funds
that
went
to
our
schools
and
were
able
to
recognize
our
top
schools,
and
that
was
a
very
big
incentive
for
our
schools
and
also
the
fair,
would
never
have
been
able
to
go
on
in
all
these
years
without
miss
Lillian
Bell
from
clay
rotary.
H
If
she
would
please
come
up
and
and
miss
Lillian
Bell
has
been
the
the
science
fair
chairwoman
for
the
clay
rotary
and
she
gets
all
of
the
rotaries
with
in
Clay
County
to
come
together
and
work
together
and
provide
the
facilities
and
all
the
volunteers,
and
she
coordinates
all
the
judges.
It's
a
spectacular
undertaking
and
I
would
say
it's
probably
our
largest
academic
event.
We
had
the
pleasure
this
year
of
having
some
of
our
school
board.
H
Members
come
out
and
judging
it
was
just
a
really
spectacular
day
and
with
that
I'd
like
to
also
say
you
know,
you
asked
yourself
what
really
makes
this
type
of
student
and
does
this
happened
by
accident.
So
I've,
given
a
lot
of
thought
and
I
had
to
resort
to
quoting
someone
else.
So
in
the
words
of
Thomas
Edison,
he
said,
being
busy
does
not
always
mean
real
work.
The
object
of
all
work
is
production
or
accomplishment
and
to
either
these
ends.
H
There
must
be
forethought
system,
planning,
intelligence
and
honest
purpose
as
well
as
perspiration,
and
that's
what
each
and
every
one
of
these
students
did
with
the
support
of
their
teachers,
their
administrators
and
their
parents
and
their
families
that
gave
them
the
support.
So
if
we
can
take
a
moment
to
just
ask
this,
the
school,
fair
directors
to
stand-
and
these
are
the
ones
that
coordinate
if
we
have
any
fair
directors
in
the
audience-
I
know
I
sum
this
command
I
saw,
we've
got
one,
and
we
have
two.
H
Lots
of
shy
lots
of
shy
administrators
and
parents
with
that
we'd
like
to
recognize
our
students
again
in
no
particular
order,
and
some
of
them
were
unable
to
attend,
but
from
Thunderbolt,
Elementary
and
I.
Don't
believe
in
attendance,
though,
was
a
in
the
junior
engineering
who
took
third
place
in
the
state
in
junior
environmental
was
Gavin
Baker
from
Thunderbolt
elementary
school.
H
H
That
is
6th
grade
4th
place
in
the
state.
Should
I
mention
that
a
student
who
is
unfortunately
moved
out
of
the
district.
We
wanted
to
try
to
keep
him
from
clay.
Virtual
was
mr.
Joshua
Brown,
who
took
junior
medicine
and
health.
He
was
not
able
to
attend
another
student,
not
able
to
attend,
but
Olivia
Evans.
It
was
a
state
finalist
from
Oakley
High
School
in
senior
medicine
and
health,
three
that
are
here
from
Orange
Park
High
School.
If
I'd
like
to
call
them
all
three
up
as
they
worked
as
a
group
was
mr.
H
H
H
From
shadow
LAN
Elementary
Josue,
Jorge
Silva,
he
took
honorable
mention
in
zoology.
He
is
also
opening
up
the
sons
game
in
his
choir
group
tonight.
So
we'll
send
his
certificate
out
to
him
from
clay
high
school.
We
had
a
mr.
Chris
Marion,
who
was
a
state
finalist
from
Fleming
Island
High
School
Bailey
Piner,
who
was
a
state
finalist
and
from
Green
Cove
junior
high
school.
We
had
Owen
Poe
who's,
also,
a
state
finalist.
H
From
Green
Cove
junior
high
school,
we
had
mr.
Michael
Pyle
come
on
it's
going
to
take
a
minute.
He
was
recognized
by
the
American
Association
of
physics
teachers.
He
also
was
recognized
by
Broadcom
Broadcom,
which
is
another
engineering
and
science
fair.
It's
a
national
one,
it's
the
top
top
10%
in
the
country.
He
was
also
recognized
by
the
Florida
Department
of
Agriculture
and
Consumer
Services
and,
as.
H
H
Was
able
to
keep
up
with
the
entire
event
watching
his
Twitter
feed
and
they
were
recognized
by
the
Florida
Association
of
Science
Supervisors
in
senior
chemistry
and
from
Fleming
Island
High
School.
We
are
like
to
recognize
Jose
Rivera
before
he
was
recognized
by
the
United
States
Air
Force
and
recognition
and
senior
engineering.
H
If
we
could
have
the
administrators
and
the
teachers
fair
directors
come
on
up,
see
the
Green,
Cove
administrator
and
teachers
come
on
up,
miss
Kim
I,
see
you
back
there.
Thank
you,
these
administrators
put
on
and
make
sure
these
schools
are
putting
together
fairs.
It's
very
difficult.
There's
a
lot
of
competition
with
this.
G
J
J
J
J
J
He
is
extremely
creative,
very
passionate
teacher,
and
he
really
knows
how
to
get
the
most
out
of
his
students.
It's
really
amazing
all
the
projects.
What
he
does
with
the
kids
is
just
an
amazing
classroom,
and
so
mr.
Fowler
has
been
recognized
as
the
outstanding
social
studies
teacher
of
the
year
for
Clay
County
in
the
middle
school
division.
J
Alright,
next
up
is
mr.
David
fields
and
if
his
face
looks
familiar,
that's
probably
for
a
pretty
good
reason.
He
is
also
our
Clay
County
district
Teacher
of
the
Year.
For
this
year
he
has
been
nominated
as
clay
County's,
outstanding
teacher
social
studies,
teacher
in
the
high
school
division.
He
teaches
US
history
at
Orange,
Park
High,
and
what
really
struck
me
about
his
classroom
and
his
teaching
is
not
only
is
he
incredibly
dedicated,
just
like
all
the
other
teachers
shishi
up
here
he's
innovative.
J
J
All
right
next
up
is
miss
Danielle
Herrick
and
she
has
been
nominated.
As
for
prentice-hall
excellence
in
teaching
history
award,
she
is
a
teacher
here
at
Fleming,
Island,
High
School.
This
is
her
sixth
year
teaching
and
her
room
is:
if
you
walk
in
there,
you
will
see
exactly
what
happens
when
you
get
an
extremely
passionate
teacher
who
knows
their
stuff
and
sets
really
high
expectations.
She
knows
how
to
spark
the
kids
curiosity
and
the
work
she
is
able
to
get
out
of
them.
J
J
Judith
has
she
has
a
passion
for
what
she
teaches
she
is
dedicated
to
their
achievement
and
I.
Think
the
best
thing
about
her
is
that
she
is
so
excited
to
lead
others
on
that
path
and
I.
Think
when
you
have
a
teacher
who's,
excited
and
they're
willing
to
share
it,
it
only
grows
the
profession
and
the
people
who
win
are
our
students
and
Judith
is
a
great
example
of
that.
So
thank
you.
J
And
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
is
sharing
more.
Who
is
clay,
County's,
Warren,
Tracy,
beginning
teacher
recipient,
and
it
was
funny
because
she
was
nominated
I
thought
because
I've
had
experience
with
sharing
before
and
I
thought
no
she's,
not
she
chooses
a
qualify.
You
have
to
be
in
your
third,
you
can't
have
talked
more
than
33
years
and
then
I
thought
wait
a
minute.
Now
this
is
her
third
year
teaching
and
you
would
never
know
it.
J
She
has
the
the
knowledge
and
the
integrity
and
the
professionalism
and,
of
course,
a
dedication
and
passion
of
someone
who
has
been
teaching
a
long
time.
She's
she's
got
the
passion
of
an
early
teacher
with
the
expertise
of
a
seasoned
teacher
and
we're
very
excited
and
very
lucky
to
that.
She
found
her
home
here
in
Clay,
County
I.
C
G
Thank
You
Kelly
outstanding
outstanding
teachers
all
right,
our
our
last
group
is
a
familiar
group
to
you.
Every
year
we
select
some
students
for
the
all-county
academic
team.
They
go
down
to
state
and
compete
in
the
commissioners,
academic
challenge.
They
have
always
represented
the
district
admirably.
They
do
a
great
job.
So
let
me
introduce
their
two
coaches
for
our
County
academic
team,
they're,
going
to
come
up
and
introduce
the
students,
and
that
is
Miss
Susan
McInerney
and
mr.
Ken
remson.
K
Good
evening,
first
I'd
like
to
take
the
opportunity
to
thank
superintendent,
Van
Zant
and
the
school
board
for
their
continued
support
of
academic
teams
in
in
Clay.
County
I
have
the
pleasure
of
working
with
not
only
the
senior
high,
but
also
the
junior
high
academic
teams
and
I'm,
hoping
that
maybe
next
fall
when
they
have
their
competitions.
We'll
have
you
show
up
at
some
of
them?
K
We
would
love
to
have
you
and
support
them,
and
it's
been
my
opportunity
to
work
at
the
county
level
with
all
of
the
coaches,
but
also
to
represent
this
County
team
is
selected
each
year
after
our
regular
season.
We
give
a
test
and
the
students
scoring
the
highest
on
the
test,
qualify
the
for
the
team
and
they
practice
for
about
four
months.
Before
we
go
to
the
competition,
and
this
year
we
were
happy
to
make
it
to
the
semi-final
round
in
the
state
of
Florida.
K
Our
competition
is
called
the
commissioners
academic
challenge
we've
been
very
blessed
to
have
Commissioner
Pam
Stewart
speak
to
us
at
our
banquet
the
last
few
years,
and
she
supports
this
program
very
strongly
and
I
appreciate
your
support
and
hope
that
we
can
continue
to
count
on
that
support
in
the
future.
At
this
time,
I'd
like
to
introduce
my
co
coach,
Ken
Remsen,
who
is
also
the
academic
coach
at
Orange,
Park,
High
School,
and
he's
going
to
help
me
with
some
awards.
K
We
have
six
members
of
our
team.
One
is
not
here
this
evening
because,
as
you
know,
this
time
of
year
would
seniors
they're
at
a
lot
of
different
things
as
you've
heard
already
tonight,
and
one
is
at
her
final
band
concert
at
Richie
high
school,
so
she
will
not
be
with
us,
but
we
will
recognize
her.
C
K
F
B
Many
of
you
know
that
May
2015
is
special
and
it's
a
little
bittersweet
for
many
of
us
in
the
Clay
County
school
system.
This
will
be
miss
Adams.
Our
illustrious
deputy
superintendents
last
school
board
meeting
as
deputy.
Now
she
has
a
grandson
in
kindergarten,
so
I
don't
think
miss
Adams
is
going
to
stray
too
far
over
the
next
12
years.
B
B
L
M
Truly
I
am
speechless,
I
just
have
to
say
for
the
record.
This
has
got
to
be
the
finest
School
District
ever
I
came
here
in
2001.
The
thing
that
struck
me
then
July,
17
2001.
That
strikes
me
today.
May
21st
2015
is
the
high
level
professionalism.
This
County
continues
to
carry
every
day:
administrators
teachers,
staff
support
staff.
Everybody
expects
a
lot
of
everybody
here
and
everybody
measures
up
now.
We
don't
always
agree,
but
we
always
do
get
back
to
work
and
I.
Just
can't
thank
y'all
enough
for
allowing
me
all
the
opportunities
I've
had
here.
M
M
M
You've
been
so
generous
and
just
helpful
in
supportive
and
you've
just
made
this
so
much
fun,
so
I
thank
all
of
you
and
I
think
the
school
board
I
think
the
senior
staff
y'all
have
just
been
great
up
that
group
over
there
they're
great
we're
gonna
have
we
got
five
more
days
of
fun,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
come
by
and
see
me
next
Wednesday
afternoon,
please
come
by
I.
Have
a
book
I
want
people
to
sign
and
maybe
take
a
picture
with
me.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.

The
Healthy
hunger-free
Kids
Act
of
2010
included
the
CEP
as
a
new
option
to
allow
high
poverty
schools
to
feed
students
breakfast
and
lunch
free
of
charge
at
qualifying
schools
with
no
application
process.
Cep
is
a
four-year
option.
Schools
may
opt
in
or
out
each
year,
data
is
collected
through
April
1st
of
each
year
to
determine
eligibility.
O
Eligibility
is
based
on
the
percent
of
identified
students
who
are
directly
certified
at
each
school.
In
order
to
be
eligible,
the
DC
percent
must
be
40
percent
or
higher.
So
we
take
the
number
of
identified
students
and
we
divide
it
by
the
total
enrollment
and
we
come
up
with
a
percent
of
identified
students
I've.
Given
you
three
examples
here:
copper
gate,
Elementary
of
the
539
students
who
are
enrolled.
191
of
those
students
are
directly
certified
which
gives
us
a
percent
of
35,
so
copper
gate.
Elementary
would
not
be
eligible
for
CEP
Middleburg.
O
Elementary
of
the
600
students
who
are
enrolled.
326
of
those
students
are
directly
certified,
so
we
get
a
percent
of
54,
so
Middleburg
Elementary
would
be
eligible
for
CEP.
In
our
third
example,
Charles
E
Bennett
of
859
students
who
are
enrolled
580
of
those
students,
are
directly
certified,
giving
us
a
percent
of
68,
so
Charles
E
Bennett
would
be
eligible
for
CEP.
O
After
eligibility
is
determined,
the
next
step
is
to
calculate
the
reimbursement
rate.
The
percent
of
identified
students
is
then
multiplied
by
a
USDA,
determined
factor
of
1.6.
The
resulting
factor
is
the
percent
of
total
meals
claimed
and
reimbursed
at
the
federal
free
rate,
which
is
currently
2,
dot,
98
cents.
The
remaining
percent
of
meals
are
claimed
and
reimbursed
at
the
paid
rate,
currently
28
cents,
schools
that
fall
below
the
direct
certification
rate
of
60
2.5
percent
that
cannot
claim
100%.
O
Free
reimbursement
must
consider
the
possible
possible
financial
impact
so
again
using
the
same
examples:
Middleburg
Elementary.
We
know
that
they
have
a
direct
percent
of
54,
so
we
take
that
54
percent
and
we
multiply
it
by
1.6,
giving
us
87
percent,
so
87
percent
of
those
meals
would
be
reimbursed
at
the
federal
free
rate
and
the
other
13
would
be
reimbursed
at
the
paid
rate.
In
our
second
example:
Charles
E
Bennet.
We
know
that
68
percent
of
those
students
are
directly
certified.
O
This
is
the
community
eligibility
provision
decision
tool
for
Middleburg
Elementary,
so
I
used
October
participation,
data
and
I
compared
the
traditional
method
of
reimbursement
with
the
CEP
method.
So
with
this,
we
stand
to
lose
revenue
by
participating
in
CEP
at
Middleburg.
Elementary
so
case
in
point
qualifying
for
CEP
doesn't
mean
that
it's
financially
the
best
decision.
O
Districts
participating
in
CEP
who
cannot
claim
100%
federal
reimbursement
risk,
a
financial
shortfall.
There
is
the
option
to
group
schools
together
to
increase
the
DC
percent.
So
by
combining
schools
who
are
lower
than
the
sixty-two
point,
five
percent
threshold
with
schools
higher
than
the
sixty-two
point
five
percent
threshold
you
can
contain
the
combined
average
and
still
receive
a
hundred
percent
federal
free
reimbursement.
So
I've
provided
two
different
scenarios
here.
The
first
box
shows
the
schools
we
can
group
together
and
claim
a
hundred
percent
federal,
free
reimbursement
rate.
O
O
So
some
of
the
advantages
all
students
receive
both
breakfast
and
lunch
at
no
cost.
There's
no
application
process
eliminates
over-identification
issues
for
students,
improves
nutrition
to
students
at
risk
potential
for
attendance
and
test
a
score
improvement,
simplifies
meal,
counting
and
speed
of
serving
lines,
and
also
shown
to
increase
breakfast
and
lunch
participation.
O
F
P
My
name
is
Joanne
Denmark.
My
address
is
on
file
good
evening
superintendent,
school
board,
members,
clay,
voters
watching
via
TV
internet
everybody
here,
I'm
a
proud
product
of
the
Clay
County
school
system,
I'm.
Now
a
parent
of
two
children
that
attend
Clay,
County
public
school
you're
hearing
from
me
as
an
alumni
as
a
parent
advocate
and
stake
holder
in
my
children's
education.
This
is
the
second
year
that
my
children's
education
has
been
compromised
and
I
will
no
longer
allow
this
to
continue
without
speaking
up,
educating
and
informing
others.
P
I
am
so
disappointed
as
a
parent
I
am
so
disappointed
at
the
Clay
citizen,
I'm
so
disappointed
as
a
clay.
Voter
I
have
lost
faith
in
our
school
district
leaders.
I
literally
was
sitting
at
my
computer,
the
other
night.
Nothing
on
the
screen
and
thinking
does
my
voice
really
make
a
difference.
Thinking
does
my
voice
really
continue
to
fall
on
deaf
ears?
Thinking
do
my
efforts
here
tonight
and
on
February
19th
March
24th
April
16th
in
the
special
meeting
on
May
7th.
P
Is
it
worth
my
time
and
effort
and
as
I
felt
defeated
and
trying
to
find
some
inspiration
with
it?
All
of
the
disappointment
I
heard
my
ten
year
old
in
the
background
repeating
to
memory
the
preamble
of
the
United
States
Constitution,
and
what
powerful
words
and
I
found
my
inspiration
and
tonight
the
topic.
My
discussion
is
about
transparency
and
accountability
on
April
16th
during
the
school
board.
P
Another
point
of
transparency
is
with
the
public.
We
party
regarding
the
proposed
allocation
package
presented
at
the
special
meeting
on
May
7th,
and
that
includes
the
four
new
administrative
positions.
80
teaching
positions
have
been
cut,
and
then
we
have
an
urgency
for
a
special
meeting
on
Thursday
May
7th
at
5
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
in
Green
Cove,
to
present
the
package
and
tweak
the
language
of
these
four
new
administrative
positions
all
while
our
district
fund
balance
is
3%
below
the
state
mandated
minimum.
Where
is
the
transparency
in
creating
this
discretionary
administrative
positions?
P
Like
most
hard-working
citizens?
I
work,
we
work,
I,
don't
have
the
luxury
of
sitting
in
front
of
a
computer
on
one
clay
net
24/7
waiting
for
special
school
board
meetings
to
pop
up,
thank
goodness
for
social
media
and
that's
how
I
was
informed.
As
of
the
urgent
meeting,
I
was
able
to
attend
as
a
parent
and
stake
holder
in
my
children's
education.
I
am
so
frustrated,
I'm
beyond
frustrated
my
words,
echo
and
other
parents
and
citizens
that
crossed
my
path
play.
P
So
I'm
going
to
recap
the
May
7th
meeting
special
meetings
since
our
county's
PR
officer
failed
to
bring
adequate
videotape
in
this
advanced
technological
society.
We
live
in
and
by
the
way
the
audio
is
now
conveniently
posted.
It
was
late
last
night
because
I
was
up
till
2:00
in
the
morning,
so
you
can
listen
to
it
in
its
entirety.
According
to
mr.
superintendent,
you
said
the
proposed
allocation
package
that
includes
the
four
new
administrative
positions
will
save
the
county:
half
a
million
dollars.
P
The
administrative
positions
is
part
of
a
restructuring
plan
to
provide
a
stronger
leadership
team
to
provide
support
for
our
teachers
to
reap
reprioritize,
mrs.
Cara
Keys.
You
asked
a
valid
question.
The
current
administrative
positions
are,
they
are
not
already
being
met
with
the
proposed
positions
by
someone.
That's
currently
doing
the
positions
now
I,
along
with
several
concerned
citizens
and
even
school
board
members
requested
for
a
cost
savings
analysis
for
the
allocation
package
proposal,
but
I
have
yet
to
see
one
spreadsheet
or
document.
Providing
such
information
find
the
information
on
the
meeting.
I
sent
text
emails.
P
All
of
you
should
have
received
by
email
ICC
to
all
of
you,
and
still
today,
I
haven't
received
one
response.
Not
one
response.
I
was
under
the
assumption
that
step
two
of
the
two-step
process,
step.
One
being
on
May
7th
to
tweak
the
language
step,
two
then
vote
on
allocation
package,
but
I
don't
see
it
listed
on
the
agenda.
P
Unless
it's
already
been
passed
so
stuttered,
you
commented
about
public
perception
of
these
new
jobs,
no
matter
what
spin
you
want
to
put
on
it,
you
can
say
restructuring
leadership,
keeping
up
with
the
technology
demands
of
the
new
testing
from
the
state,
whatever
the
reason
makes
no
difference
when
my
children
and
the
children
this
county
lose
resources,
classrooms
are
over
capacity,
effective
teachers
lose
their
jobs
and
cannot
find
available
work
in
the
county.
Esc
classes
are
overcrowded.
P
Iep
s
are
out
of
compliance.
The
citizens
and
voters
will
never
ever
ever
buy
into
that
reason
at
the
school
I
work
at.
If
we
have
an
urgent
need
at
8:30,
when
all
the
busses
pull
in
and
kids
need
help
off
the
bus,
we
don't
stop
talk
about
it,
create
an
administrative
position,
hold
a
special
meeting,
tweak
language,
discuss
salary
range
for
the
new
administrator
position
to
help
kids
off
the
bus.
No,
we
immediately
and
gladly
work
together
to
share
our
job
responsibilities
for
the
betterment
and
safety
of
our
children.
P
I
have
a
master's
degree
and
I
can
easily
help
kids
off
the
bus.
I
don't
need
to
be
told
I,
don't
need
a
fancy
job
description
when
it
comes
to
our
children,
we
should
come
together,
share
job
responsibilities.
We
do
not
have
the
luxury
in
our
fund
balance
to
give
new
job
titles
create
new
administrative
positions
when
we
have
just
cut
80
teaching
positions
and
some
are
still
without
a
job.
Today,
I
spoke
to
two
today
and
I
followed
the
two
teacher
friends
and
one
of
them
allowed
me
to
share
her
text.
P
With
her
permission
she
says
no
job,
yet
I
went
on
to
interviews
sweet.
However,
the
first
interview
I
was
told
that
there
are
14
of
us
interviewing.
There
are
not
currently
even
14
regular
elementary
education
positions
available.
There
are
also,
obviously
more
than
14.
Looking
the
principals,
the
principal
said
it
was
the
most
you'd
ever
seen
from
surplus
teachers
in
the
county.
Just
now,
I
got
a
text
they're
in
phase
four,
meaning
that
it's
open
to
all
applicants.
All
the
jobs
are
open
to
all
applicant
types,
new
hires.
Now
they
have
more
competition.
P
We
know
that
our
dedicated
teachers
are
the
driving
force
in
this
County
teachers,
myself
included,
do
not
choose
the
teaching
profession
for
the
money
we
choose
teaching
because
we
want
to
make
a
difference.
We
have
teachers
making
a
difference
in
a
child's
life
every
day,
as
the
school
year
closes,
I
have
been
honored
to
meet
many
of
these
dedicated
teachers
within
our
County
during
IEP
meetings.
The
continued
mantra
is
always
we
will
do
what's
best
for
our
children
or
for
the
child.
Despite
the
budget
constraints,
they
work
for
the
kids.
P
The
students
of
this
county
during
one
of
my
IEP
is
just
there's
this
morning.
I
call
it
divine
intervention.
I
asked
a
teacher
if
her
school
was
affected
by
the
budget
cut,
and
she
said
yes
and
she
went
into
a
rant
about
how
the
budget
cuts
have
affected
the
ESC
population,
which
is
our
exceptional
student,
it
which
covers
autism,
learning,
disabled
gifted
populations
and
by
the
way,
that's
where
the
bulk
of
our
state
funding
comes
from.
P
Now
the
ASD
child
only
sees
one
teacher,
a
dual
certified
inclusion
teacher,
the
mainstream
teacher
takes
a
simple
ESC
exam,
and
now
the
teachers
dually
certified
to
teach
those
ESC
students
in
a
nutshell,
we
are
overworking
and
overloading
our
teacher
while
staying
within
the
parameters
of
the
legal
document
of
the
IEP,
but
we're
giving
our
kids
the
bare
minimum
teaching
instruction
again.
Our
kids
are
on
the
losing
end
when
this
new
allocation
package
is
brought
to
the
table
for
a
vote
during
some
probably
shady
special
meeting
over
the
summer
break.
P
Will
you
vote
for
more
fancier
titles
or
support
the
already
dedicated
teachers
of
our
County
I
want
to
talk
about
accountability
quickly?
Mrs.
McKinnon
is
not
here
she's
on
here,
because
she
took
a
new
job
role
at
her
full
time
job,
and
this
is
the
word
she
used
on
May
7th.
If
a
school
board
job
isn't
her
full-time
job,
then
how
can
you
give
teachers
and
students
a
play?
Your
undivided
attention
I
think
it's
a
logical
question
that
deserves
an
answer.
Our
PR
officer.
P
You
set
the
tone
for
the
relationship
of
the
school
district
to
the
public
you're
accountable
for
responding
to
citizens.
I
sent
an
email,
I
know
we're
busy
I'm,
not
saying
I'm
busier
than
anyone
else,
but
you
can
call
it
accountability,
but
it's
just
plain
common
courtesy
to
return
an
email
myself.
It's
easy
to
point.
P
Fingers
and
I'll
say
that
I'm
accountable
as
a
parent
and
I
have
failed
my
children
by
not
becoming
an
informed
voter
in
2012,
but
I
will
reiterate
again
that
I
have
become
a
very
informed
voter
and
will
challenge
those
seeking
re-election
in
2016.
When
is
this
going
to
stop?
When
are
we
going
to
realize
that
we
are
compromising
our
children
in
our
future?
When
are
we
going
to
be
transparent
and
accountable
for
the
children
of
our
County?
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
You
mr.
Condon
and
thank
God,
we
live
in
a
free
country
where
everybody
can
speak,
we're
all
entitled
to
our
time
to
speak
and
our
own
opinions.
We
are
not,
however,
entitled
to
our
own
facts,
and
although
there
was
a
lot
of
slightly
non
factual
information,
I
would
just
like
to
hit
on
one
thing.
Our
ESC
population
in
Clay
County
is
very,
very
well
served.
Clay
County
is
known
for
our
ESC
programs.
B
The
US
Navy
recognizes
Clay
County
as
one
of
four
special
assignments,
compassionate
assignments,
I
believe
is
the
term
the
Navy
uses
I'm
an
army
guy,
not
a
Navy
guy
for
families
with
kids
with
special
needs
and
make
sure
to
tell
them
about
Clay
County
schools
when
they
station
them
an
NES
Jacksonville
I
heard
the
speakers
say:
we
were
3%
below
the
state
minimum
for
unreserved
fund
balance,
the
state
minimum
for
unreserved
fund
balance.
Basically,
our
savings
account
is
3
percent
and
we're
slightly
below
3
were
between
2
and
3.
B
Q
Thank
You
mr.
superintendent
board
members
inherent
in
what
information
services
does
is
the
collection,
analysis
and
reporting
of
information
of
data
three
of
the
core
values
that
the
hard-working
men
and
women
of
information
services
operate
by
our
commitment,
quality,
professionalism
and
integrity
in
the
spirit
of
those
core
values.
Q
In
the
spirit
of
truth
and
transparency,
in
the
spirit
of
quality
information
with
integrity,
we
feel
compelled
to
clarify
some
recent
statements
regarding
the
accuracy
of
district
data
this
evening,
we'd
like
to
share
for
the
record
some
key
points
for
the
board
and
the
citizens
of
Clay
County.
At
this
point,
I'd
like
to
introduce
and
turn
the
presentation
over
to
mr.
Dwayne
weeks.
Mr.
weeks
is
the
supervisor
within
information
system
who
oversees
the
core
data
systems
for
the
district.
R
Good
evening,
mr.
superintendent
and
school
board,
I
might
be
a
little
bit
nervous,
so
I
guess
just
have
to
sit
through
this,
but
at
the
same
time,
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
be
able
to
speak
on
what
is
really
honestly,
a
very
complex
matter.
It
my
past
life
a
couple
of
years
ago,
I
got
the
chance
to
travel
around
the
country
and
see
how
other
states
do
state
reporting
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
can
safely
report
that
we
do.
R
We
have
in
the
state
of
Florida
the
most
complex
reporting
requirements
of
any
state
that
I've
ever
seen
fact
I
went
to
a
Tennessee
and
they're,
like
you,
won't
believe
our
state
reporting
and
we
have
solved
it
in
35
minutes,
basically
with
about
two
spreadsheets.
So
realistically
we're
talking
about
a
very
complex
subject,
and
we
want
to
try
to
kind
of
illuminate
not
tonight
what
was
going
on
in
the
CV
afte
question
and
kind
of
sort
of
explain.
It.
R
I've
got
a
timeline
on
the
presentation
and
the
first
issue
we're
gonna
kind
of
sort
of
dissect
this
into
a
couple
of
different
issues,
and
the
first
issue
is
an
issue.
That's
actually
been
addressed.
A
couple
of
times,
which
is
an
email
that
Linda
champion,
had
sent
Linda
champion,
is
a
Deputy
Commissioner
kind
of
sort
of
in
charge
of
the
Finance
Wing
of
the
Florida
Department
of
Education,
and
she
had
an
apprentice
by
the
name
of
Sonia
bridges.
Who,
as
of
a
couple
weeks
ago,
is
no
longer
there.
But
Sonia
has
always
been
very
good.
R
We've
had
very
open
communications
with
Sonia,
and
one
thing
that
the
DOB
is
very
very
good
about
doing
is
they're
very
good
about
running
a
program
whenever
we
submit
a
file
that
basically
looks
at
historical
variance
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is
year-to-year
comparisons.
So
they'll
be
happy
or
very
quick
to
tell
you.
R
We
might
have
this
many
more
students,
this
much
more
FTE
and
that's
really
kind
of
sort
of
the
extent
of
their
troubleshooting
to
a
large
extent,
and
so,
when
we
received
this
email,
they
had
reported
that
they
had
actually
seen
that
there
was
a
hundred
FTE
variance
in
one
of
our
virtual
schools.
Now
this
is
where
Florida
will
earn
its
reputation
for
being
one
of
the
more
complicated
States,
our
virtual
school.
In
almost
every
virtual
school,
every
virtual
school
in
Florida
has
actually
four
different
schools,
and
so
what
happens
is
there?
R
We
know
that
it
goes
into
the
classroom
and
again
I'm
a
Clay
County
I
McClain
County
not
only
was
a
resident,
but
I
didn't
have
to
do
vol,
I,
guess
I.
Shouldn't
say
that,
but
long
story
short
is
that
I
did
graduate
from
here
and
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
taught
here
for
a
long
time.
So
I
know
that
right
now
that
money
has
a
real
impact
attached
to
it.
R
However,
with
that
said,
if
you
actually
look
at
the
overall
variance
as
far
as
the
total
number
of
FTE
we're
talking
about
0.3
of
a
percentage
point,
so
if
we
were
not
as
vigorous,
if
we
were
not
cross-checking,
verifying
validating,
to
be
honest
with
you,
we
don't
even
want
to
imagine
what
a
1%
variance
would
do.
That
would
be
a
mess.
But
returning
to
this,
when
we
examine
this
variance,
whenever
we
had
our
database
specialist
go
in
and
take
a
look
at
it,
she
had
actually
determined
that
mrs.
R
champions
office
had
not
actually
accounted
for
the
bump
in
80,
which
is
a
basically
just
kind
of
sort
of
a
move.
It
was
very
simple
for
CVA
to
do,
and
so
basically
we
may
have
decreased
a
hundred
and
one,
but
we
had
increased
eighty
and
another,
and
so
by
the
time
we
actually
did
the
math
and
saw
a
little
bit
of
other
variance.
The
variance
was
actually
determined
to
be
25
FTE.
R
R
Our
system
of
record
actually
handles
the
file,
and
so
we
ran
through
with
the
test,
and
we
wanted
to
make
sure
what
put
into
focus
did
it
match
and
the
answer
was
yes,
it
did,
and
so
we
wanted
to
rule
out
any
systemic,
any
any
any
glitches,
basically
in
the
system,
and
so
at
that
particular
point
where
we
were
with
the
data
that
we
had
available
to
us.
We
had
actually
gone
through
and
closed
the
issue
as
far
as
that
goes.
R
However,
one
thing
I
want
to
kind
of
sort
of
demonstrate
again
to
is
that
I
want
to
kind
of
sort
of
put
some
words
or
some
facts
behind
what
we
were
saying,
and
so
what
you
will
see
is
you
will
actually
see
the
for
school
numbers
that
actually
represent
virtual
the
clay,
virtual
academies,
and
what
you
will
see
is
is
that
that
seven
thousand
one
seven
thousand
four
so
for
two
thousand
twelve
and
seven
thousand
one.
We
had
a
slight
variance
but
nothing
of
real
note
in
seven
thousand
four.
R
However,
you
can
see
the
bump
where
we
went
from
two
FTE,
basically
to
eighty
one
point:
six,
four
FTE
and
then
in
one
forty
five,
you
can
see
the
decrease
that
miss
champion
references
several
times.
I
will
say
this.
Is
that
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
odd
to
some
extent
that
they
never
mentioned
the
positive
variance?
If
you
get
what
I'm
saying
and
so
that
positive
variance
I
think
if
they
would
have
done
maybe
a
little
bit
of
study,
they
would
have
been
able
to
find
that
hey.
Did
this
shift?
R
In
fact,
what
is
interesting
in
previous
meetings?
It's
kind
of
come
back
well,
they
didn't
really
held
us
about
it
that
they
had
sent
basically
one
email
and
they
may
have
done
their
own
internal
study.
To
be
honest
with
you
and
said,
oh
well,
it
moved
from
here
to
here.
So
that's
probably
what
happened
but
again
that
ft
differential
came
out
to
be
twenty.
Four
point:
nine
three,
however,
as
mrs.
R
Adams
has
mentioned
in
previous
meetings,
we
did
have
an
issue,
and
so
I
want
to
go
over
the
timeline
of
that
to
make
sure
that
we're
kind
of
sort
of
clear,
because
remembering
that
the
state
is
actually
looking
at
year-to-year,
historical
variances
or
so
mrs.
Adams
and
some
of
the
folks
at
the
district
and
I
will
say
this
is
that
I
do
firmly
believe
that
the
do
II
would
have
never
caught
the
issue.
R
Their
reporting
is
that
complex
I
guess
we
could
make
that
joke,
but
at
the
same
time
I
would
say
this
is
that
I
think
the
issue
that
we
were
seeing
was
actually
in
projections,
historical,
as
opposed
to
historical
versus
historical,
and
so
what
we
looked
at
is
is
that
we
looked
at
the
survey
for
initial
submission
is
due
in
July
and
then
one
thing
that
is
a
little
curious
about
the
CVA
or
the
virtual
reporting
period
is.
Is
it
takes
place
over
the
summer?
R
So
it
takes
place
at
the
end
of
the
year
and
in
survey?
Two
in
survey,
three,
which
the
vast
majority
of
the
funding
that
comes
from
the
state
is
generated
in
those
two
surveys.
We
have
an
amendment
window
of
almost
four
months,
meaning
that
there
are
four
months
that
we
can
actually
make
an
adjustment,
and
the
state
will
accept
that
adjustment
here
in
the
Edit
window
was
roughly
twenty
four
working
days
and
I'll
talk
about.
R
Why
that's
a
little
bit
of
a
complication,
because
the
state
gets
very
data
hungry
over
the
summer
and
they
have
lots
of
different
surveys
going
on.
But
we'll
talk
about
that
in
a
second
in
August
31st,
the
survey
for
edit
window
closes
and
what
kind
of
sort
of
point
everybody's
attention
to
the
fact
that
that
window
closing
is
probably
the
kind
of
sort
of
end
of
one
of
our
busiest
times
as
the
school
year,
which
is
that
we've
just
had
the
wind
up
to
start
school.
R
We've
had
to
get
ready
actually
to
be
honest
with
you
in
August
late,
August
we're
actually
getting
ready
for
survey
too,
which
is
the
next
big
round
of
surveys.
It's
surveys
all
the
time
and
then
in
mid-september
we
had
actually
discovered.
We
had
actually
discovered
that
there
was
an
issue
and
we
had
notified
the
do-e
as
soon
as
we
had
found
the
issue.
Those
discussions
went
on
very
early.
We
actually
and
I,
don't
believe,
there's
been
any
opinion
that
kind
of
counters
this.
At
this
particular
point,
they
took
a
relatively
hard
line.
R
I
think
is
fair
to
say,
which
is
that
you
missed
the
deadline
by
so
many
weeks
and
there's
nothing
that
we're
going
to
do.
However,
we
had
found
justification
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
we
even
feel
like
legislation
behind
it
to
where
they
could
do
that.
I
would
never
say
that
I
mean
in
the
do
East
case.
I.
Think
one
of
the
things
that
was
a
little
bit
interesting
is
that
we've
tried
to
view
a
relationship
with
the
DA.
R
We
are
going
through
and
we
kind
of
quietly
high-fived
ourselves
because
normally
you're
trying
to
not
go
through
an
audit,
but
we
thought
this
would
be
an
opportunity
to
have
a
conversation
with
the
Auditor
General,
and
so
the
Auditor
General
was
going
to
look
at
CVA
they're,
actually
gonna,
look
at
our
virtual
schools
for
the
first
time,
and
our
logic
behind
that
was
is
that
you
make
negative
adjustments
all
the
time.
You've
got
no
problem
docking
us
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
we
had
a
very
good
and
clean
audit.
R
The
argument,
or
the
rationale
we
were
wondering
is
that,
couldn't
you
make
a
positive
adjustment,
here's
the
thing
that
I
think
is
fundamentally
unfair
about
the
do
ease
stance,
to
be
honest
with
you
is
that
we
educated
the
kids
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
I
think.
The
other
thing
that's
a
little
bit
unfair
is
is
that
there
was
an
issue
that,
in
the
whole
universe
of
state
reporting,
which
is
very
wide
and
very
complex.
We
identified
and
brought
to
them
and
tried
to
have
that
dialogue.
R
R
One
thing
I
also
want
to
kind
of
draw
the
attention
to,
and
this
graph
may
make
sense
to
me
and
no
one
else,
but
nonetheless
this
is
basically
a
graph
of
all
the
survey
that
goes
on
between
all
the
survey
reporting
all
the
state
reporting
that
goes
on
between
July
and
September,
and
so
just
to
rundown.
It
because
you
don't
want
all
the
all
the
details
necessarily
survey,
one
which
is
our
summer
school
survey.
So
we
are
running
summer
school
and,
to
be
honest
with
you,
whenever
we
have,
we
have
serious
data
needs
in
summer.
R
School
and
part
of
that
is
to
report
it.
So
the
funding
that
we
Road
we
get
survey
eight
is
also
another
survey
that
actually
usually
has
to
do
fair
testing
and
the
p.m.
RN
and
a
couple
of
other
things.
Survey.
Six
is
a
relatively
minor
survey
that
the
survey
for
you
can
see
is
nested
in
between
one
and
eight
and
six
survey,
a
which
I'm
not
sure
if
they
did
that,
because
they
ran
out
of
numbers
at
some
particular
point.
R
Actually,
that's
a
CTE
survey
so
we're
doing
what
is
known
as
witness,
which
is
a
totally
different
art
when
it
comes
to
state
reporting,
it
doesn't
play
by
the
same
rules
in
survey,
five,
which
is
no
small
deal,
because
our
school
grades
are
actually
generated
out
of
survey
five
and
that
process
starts
and
in
between
that
district
process,
wise
we're
running
through
summer
school,
we're
running
through
elementary
and
secondary
scheduling
all
summer
and
we're
doing
the
start
at
school.
In
fact,
what's
funny
is
is
that
they
have
eight
major
surveys
and
four
of
them
overlap.
R
This
particular
area
and,
like
I,
said
I,
think
that's
one
of
the
things
that
makes
it
a
challenge
like
I,
said
I
think
we
have
been
very
diligent.
We've
had
a
great
team
scouring
records
trying
to
find
four
survey.
Two
and
three,
our
principals
and
our
administrators
have
been
going
line
by
line
student
by
student
in
order
to
ensure
FTE
is
being
claimed
in
the
right
amount,
and
we
hope,
like
I,
said
in
this
one
variance
that
the
state
sees
our
way.
So,
at
this
point,
I
guess
back
to
Carl
I.
Q
Another
point
here
is
Dwayne
mentioned
complexity,
the
reporting
requirements,
the
data
systems
within
Florida,
the
complexity,
the
formulas.
In
this
case
it
was
so
complex.
It
appears
as
though
do
ii
wasn't
even
aware
of
their
own
formula
and
some
of
the
reporting
that
we
had
done
to
them.
Maybe
they
did
discover
it.
Maybe
they
realized?
Okay,
that's
why
they,
the
ad
went
to
here
and
the
hundred
went
to
here.
Okay,
that's
why
we
don't
need
to
continue
to
contact
Clay
County,
anything
else.
O
K
E
Q
Actually
again,
those
were
two
different
issues.
The
one
issue
dealt
with
the
cost
centers
within
CBA
and
the
change
there.
That
was
a
difference,
variance
issue
than
the
one
that
the
second
issue
that
mr.
weeks
covered,
and
that
was
a
reporting
error.
That
again
was
one
that
was
discovered
literally
days
after
the
amendment
window.
Closed
and
dwyane
was
actually
being
very
generous
with
do-e
I
think
survey
2
ends
in
October
and
goes
through
March,
so
I
mean
you
can
see
the
amount
of
time
that
we
have
to
go
in
and
we
immediately
start
correcting
data.
Q
We
run
verifications
and
validations
and
all
kinds
of
different
formulas
against
it,
and
we
identify
that
we
correct
and
then
by
the
end
of
March.
We
feel
very,
very
good
with
the
governance
model
that
we
have
in
place.
So
the
separate
issue.
The
second
issue
that
we've
gotten
a
ruling
from
the
auditor
on
is
a
different
reporting
issue
and
that's
one
we're
hoping
for
a
positive
of
a
hundred
to
come.
Our
way.
M
M
It's
just
the
right
thing
to
do.
We've
written
letters
we've
shown
data.
We,
the
auditor,
bless
alex
reagan's.
Little
heart
has
spent
hours
with
us
and
has
validated
we
had
a
very
clean,
FTE
audit
and
and
I
congratulate
our
staff
out
there,
our
teachers
and
our
admin
for
all
the
work
that
they've
done.
The
good.
The
good
news
about
this
is
is
that
you
will
probably
continue
to
see
the
most
vigorous
data
governance
monitoring
ever
in
the
future.
M
As
a
result
of
this,
everybody
understands
FTE
and
when
I
say
that
it's
not
used
to
be
in
the
old
days
just
be
kind
of
worried
about
it.
At
the
district
level,
schools
validated
their
attendance,
and
that
was
it,
but
now
that
we're
under
this
FTE
light
and
we're
not
real
sure,
you
know
nobody's
ever
really
sure
what
the
numbers
going
to
come
out,
because
you
have
to
wait
for
the
magic
formula
I'm
in
Tallahassee.
They
were
all
real
paranoid
about
making
sure
every
single
thing
counts
and
every
schedule
is
correct.
M
I
mean
we
were
careful
before
what
were
even
more
super
careful.
Now
we've
got
layer
upon
layer
of
checking,
so
that's
a
long-winded
way
of
saying
yes,
I
hope,
that's
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
sent
them
a
letter.
Mister
gave
me
permission,
was
it
Monday
I
said?
Please
let
me
send
this
one
less
letter
to
miss
champion.
M
E
A
B
B
It'll
function
as
a
small
learning
community
and
it'll
serve
about
44
students
per
grade
level
offers
an
advanced
curriculum,
actually
working
into
earning
high
school
credits
at
the
junior
high
level,
which
will
allow
those
students
to
have
further
opportunity
to
take
ap
dual
enrollment,
a
savvy
courses
and
all
those
advanced
academic
opportunities
as
a
high
school
nine
through
12
students
and
offer
them
some
advanced
opportunities.
So
I
know
mr.
B
Kornegay
probably
didn't
personally
put
it
all
together,
but
she
has
just
a
tremendous
team
over
there
in
instruction
and
she's
built
the
last
several
years
and
they
have
and
I'm
sure
that
you
want
to
drop
in
after
school
starts
and
visit.
Orange
Park
junior
high,
for
you
see
this
for
yourself,
Thank
You.
Mr.
F
N
A
A
E
Is
it
all
right
if
I
open
up?
Yes,
yes,
I
am
I
just
want
to
commend
Oakley
of
high
school
for
looking
the
creative
ways
to
to
find
funding
and
I.
Think
it's
a
great
idea
and
I'm
not
opposed
to
the
renaming
at
all
I
think
it's
it's
really
it's
great
to
draw
the
community
in
and
the
only
reason
that
I'm
questioning
the
McDonnells
is
just
because
of
the
amount
and
mr.
E
E
It's
not
consistent
with
what
we're
doing
for
the
football
team
football
field.
I
should
say
and
I'm
just
worried
that
you
know
somehow
or
another.
This
is
going
to
come
back
to
the
board
for
just
kind
of
arbitrary
discretion
and
there's
not
any
valid
reason
for
further
out
having
it
at
the
same
amount,
at
least
not
that
anybody
could
explain
to
me
so
that
that's
why
I
pulled
the
item.
I
would
love
to
say
yes
I'm,
both
because
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
and
I'm
not
opposed
to
it
at
all.
E
I'm
just
concerned
that
our
policy
reads
15,000
as
a
minimum
and
that's
what
the
Zaxby's
contract
reads
for
one
year,
but
then
we
have
a
McDonald's
contract.
That's
basically
three
thousand
dollars
a
year
for
three
years,
and
it
just
just
doesn't
sit
well
with
me.
But
you
know,
if
that's
what
the
rest
of
the
board
wants
and
I'm
okay
with
it,
just
I
wanted
it
to
be
discussed.
So
anybody
have
an
opinion.
Resides
me
well.
A
I
am
I,
actually
I,
read
it
and
I
thought.
How
can
we
turn
away
money
for
our
kids
because
our
I'm
not
sure
if
a
lot
of
people
are
aware,
but
our
athletic
programs
are
the
coaches
are
given.
They
are
supplement
and
then
there's
a
little
bit
of
money
provided
for
transportation,
not
enough
to
cover
their
transportation
needs
beyond
that.
All
monies
raised
have
to
come
from
booster
kind
of
things,
and
so
we
don't
provide
any
money
for
them.
We'd
like
to
obviously
I
know.
A
Duval
had
an
issue
a
couple
years
ago
with
they
were
doing
away
with
all
sports
if
they
couldn't
get
outside
help
and
where
they
had
their
board
room
packed
with
citizens.
Saying
please
don't
do
that
so
I
have
a
hard
time.
Turning
down
money,
I,
don't
know
where
the
$15,000
came
from.
I
can
say
that
living
in
the
south
end
of
the
county.
There
aren't
any
businesses
that
would
ever
have
$15,000
to
give
to
any
of
the
schools
there.
A
So
maybe
the
policy
itself
needs
to
be
revisited
on.
You
know
on
some
kind
of
basis,
I,
don't
know
it's
just
hard,
it's
hard.
For
me,
philosophical
I,
don't
know
where
the
15,000
came
from.
Maybe
you
all
that
approved
it
a
couple
years
ago
can
shed
light
on
on
where
that
figure
came
from,
because
to
me
I
it's
hard
to
look
at
any
of
the
athletic
coaches
and
and
principal
and
administrators
and
teachers
and
students
and
say
we're
going
to
turn
money
away.
I
think.
E
B
The
time
the
mr.
Windgate
and
you
waved
me
off
or
not,
if
you'd
like
to
address
it,
it's
fine
either
way,
but
the
former
assistant
superintendent,
former
board,
attorney
kind
of
crafted
that
policy
language,
but
literally
that
was
a
stab
in
the
dark.
I
see
mr.
greta
from
rydges
sitting
out
there
she's
got
something
on
her
campus
named
after
a
former
principal
we've
got
a
football
field
house
named
after
a
former
principal,
so
literally,
the
naming
rights
in
Clay
County
went
to
whoever
had
a
bucket
of
paint
up
until
2013.
So
we
got
specific.
B
We
took
a
good,
even
level
swing
at
coming
up
with
a
criteria
and
upon
further
reflection,
I'm
hearing
what
both
of
you
are
saying.
So
if,
philosophically
there's
no
problem
with
the
golden
arches
painted
on
the
floor
of
the
basketball
court,
I
would
feel
a
little
funny
kind
of
holding
McDonald's
out
who's.
B
You
know
long
term
they're
going
to
be
here
after
we're
all
gone
and
trying
to
squeeze
them
for
more
money
and
being
a
resident
of
Keystone
Heights,
not
imagining
the
hardware
store
or
the
one
of
the
two
restaurants
we
have
ever
being
able
to
come
up
with
$15,000
I
think
maybe
that
amount
should
be
adjusted.
I
mean
if
we
don't
have
a
problem.
B
Philosophically
with
the
naming
rights,
then
I
think
the
board
could
give
itself
a
break
and
as
long
as
they
don't
have
a
problem
with
what
the
entity
of
McDonald's
or
Zaxby's
or
whoever
represents
let
each
community
within
the
system
kind
of
have
that
latitude
to
do
the
best
they
can.
What
they
feel
is
moral
and
ethical
for
their
part
of
the
county,
because
hey
in
Fleming
Island
oak
leaf,
you
can
get
a
little
bit
more
sponsorship
than
your
on
Keystone.
The
Middleburg
just
I'm
feeling
like
that.
L
Now
paper
I
want
to
clarify
the
email
that
I
sent
out
and
I
want
to
make
sure
the
board
understands
our
position.
That's
because
I
didn't
write
this
policy,
but
in
its
kind
of
confusing
and
mr.
Merrill
and
I
emailed
back
and
forth,
back
and
forth
back
and
fourth
and
even
I,
he
and
I
don't
entirely
agree
with
analysis
that
I
that
I
just
on
minor
things
but
I.
Think
fundamentally,
he
agrees
in
my
position
on
this
after
banging
my
up
against
a
head
a
couple
times.
But
let
me
read
this
so
you
understand
this.
L
Okay
under
the
six
point,
one
four
D
okay,
it
says
the
following
says:
the
superintendent
/
designee,
with
the
approval
of
school
board,
may
name
significant
building
components,
including
classrooms,
media,
centers,
athletic
fields,
conference
rooms,
common
areas
and
other
components.
Works
are
part
of
the
building
or
site,
including
recognizing,
exceptional
or
significant
non-fan,
financial
or
financial
contributions
of
private
individuals
or
corporate
entities.
Such
naming
shall
specify
any
donor
requests
by
private
individuals
or
corporate
entities
for
a
specific
name
and
shall
be
reported
to
the
board
as
an
information
item.
L
Now
what
that
means
is
under
the
statutory
interpretation.
That's
called
express,
yamuna
salt
rarest
exclusive
for
those
latin
students
out
there.
That
means
the
expression
of
one
is
the
exclusion
of
the
other.
One
of
the
discussions
that
I
had
with
Miss
carica
says
is
that
in
the
beginning
it
says
with
approval
of
the
school
board
and
then,
in
the
end,
it
says,
reported
as
an
information
item,
as
an
information
item
means
that
the
board
doesn't
need
to
necessarily
vote
on
this
item.
The
reason
that
I
recommended
this
go
and
consent
agenda.
L
So
the
board
can
talk
about.
It
is
an
effort
of
transparency.
You
take
a
look
at
the
next
section,
which
is
we
were
talking
about
the
short
term
and
long
term,
and
there's
two
parts
of
that
that
I
want
to
I.
Think
it's
important
for
us
to
read.
The
first
part
of
the
duration
of
name
rights
is
as
follows:
the
duration
name
rights
shall
be
proportionate
to
the
value
of
donation,
endowment
or
other
significant
contributions
to
a
school.
L
The
duration
of
naming
rights
for
athletic
fields,
grounds
and
portions
of
schools
or
administrator
sites
or
other
than
buildings
of
components
shall
be
at
the
discretion
of
the
superintendent
or
his
or
her
designee
for
building
or
components
of
buildings.
The
school
board
recognizes
two
types
of
naming
rights,
short
term
and
long
term
naming
rights.
The
provision
for
each
are
is
outlined
below.
Then
it
talks
about
short
and
long-term,
but
the
problem
with
that
is
over
here.
It
authorizes
the
naming
of
it
and
then
it
defines
short
term
and
long
term.
L
But
here's
the
other
issue
that
you
go
on,
where
it
defines
short
term
so
trying
to
explain
this,
and
because
this
we
have
emails
going
back
for
for
John
and
I
are
talking
about
this
short
term
naming
rights,
short
term
name
rights
applicable
for
donations,
ranging
from
minimum
15,000
to
a
maximum
of
50,000
and
shall
be
valid
for
a
period
of
10
years,
unless
otherwise
specified
by
the
superintendent.
For
the
school
board,
at
the
time
of
the
approval
or
school
board
at.
L
The
time
the
approval
well
in
reading
the
the
two
provisions
in
pari-
materia-
okay,
where
you
read
them
together-
reading
it
in
pari
materia,
basically
I-
would
suggest
that
the
superintendent
or
his
designee
has
the
authority
to
do
it
and
report
it
as
an
information
item.
But
after
the
discussion,
mr.
Maryl
I
thought
it
best
that
we
put
this
out
there,
so
the
board
could
address
it
and
they
had
a
different
view.
It
the
board,
can
do
whatever
steps
the
board
wants
to
do.
L
N
Chairman
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
I,
went
back
after
I
saw
this
on
the
agenda.
I
went
back
and
now
copied
off.
You
know
the
section
of
the
policy
part
of
which
mr.
Sykes
has
just
read,
but
the
language
in
this
policy.
In
my
opinion,
there
are
parts
that
contradict
itself.
It's
it's.
It
certainly
says
on
here
about
the
superintendent,
but
then
it
also
says
upon
the
approval
of
the
school
board,
so
I
think
this
language
is
not
good.
If
we
voted
tonight
to
approve
these
number
one,
this
board
would
be
sitting
here.
Voting.
N
Against
what
is
in
our
policy,
we
will
be
violating
our
own
school
board
policy
if
we
voted
for
this
tonight.
The
way
this
is
written
with
the
15,000
I
think
personally,
that
this
should
come
back
to
us
next
month
and
I
right
now.
I
could
not
vote
for
it
because
it
says
a
minimum
of
15,000
in
plain
black
and
white
English
I'm
not
going
to
oak
I
cannot
vote
for
something
that
violates
our
school
board
policy.
N
Probably
if
we
had
time
the
best
thing
to
do
is:
go
back
and
clean
up
the
language
in
this
policy.
This
is
this
really
is
double-talk
and
the
worst
kind
of
way,
I've
circled
and
underlined
things
that
make
no
sense
at
all,
because
it
talks
about
the
superintendent
doing
this
and
then
it
will
say,
as
approved
by
the
school
board.
N
Well,
we
have
to
prove
it,
but
and
so
I
don't
see
how
you
can
sit
here
and
vote
tonight
on
something
that
violates
your
school
board
policy,
so
either
we're
going
to
have
to
put
off
the
naming
rights
until
we
can
get
this
policy
cleaned
up
and
then
do
it.
But
I
don't
know
how
you
can
vote
on
something
that
violates
our
policy.
I
thought.
L
L
L
N
Under
4d
the
thing
is,
it
says,
under
four
deke
components
of
facilities.
The
superintendent
designee
with
approval
of
the
school
board,
may
name
significant
building
components,
including
classrooms,
media
centers,
athletic
fields,
conference
rooms,
commentary
and
other
components
which
are
part
of
a
built
in
our
site,
including
recognizing
exceptional
or
significant,
non-financial
blah
blah
blah
blah
blah.
But
you
know
it
just.
It
says:
with
approval
of
the
school
board,.
L
Ma'am
that
that
and
I
and
I
understand
this
is
part
of
the
reasons
that
we
had
the
emails
going
back
and
forth.
Then
the
very
last
thing
it
says-
and
this
is
why
I
recommended
that
it
be
put
out
there.
So
the
board
sees
this
knows
about
this.
Such
naming
shall
specify
need
on
a
request
by
private
individuals
or
corporate
entities
for
a
specific
name
and
shall
be
reported
to
the
board
as
an
information
item-
III
I'm,
it's
it's
problematic
and.
A
E
To
approve
the
Zaxby's,
because
I
feel
Zaxby's
completely
meets
the
policy,
but
McDonald's
doesn't
so
what
we
could
do
is
approve
the
one
we
address
this
policy
and
then
approve
it
after
McDonald's
can
come
back
to
us
at
a
later
date,
and
they
can
just
you
know,
work
on
this
policy
or
renegotiate
the
contract
with
with
McDonald's
missus
exact
speech
does
meet
the
policy
requirements.
I.
D
Don't
see
how
we're
violating
our
own
policy
with
the
clause
in
there
that
says,
unless
otherwise
specified
if
you're
saying
it
can
be
minimum
15
max
50
unless
otherwise
specified
so
there's
no
violation
of
a
policy.
I
do
agree
that
the
language
in
the
policy
is
bad
and
we
should
revisit
that.
But
I.
Don't
think
that
we
are
doing
anything
that
violates
policy
by
approving
well
and.
L
That's
the
point
that
I
was
raising
is
that
if
you
vote-
and
you
prove
it
tonight
or
if
you
vote
at
the
next
week-
it's
approved
and
it
doesn't
violate
the
policy
because
the
board
can
approve
it
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
it
was
put
on
this
island
to
make
sure
everything
is
up
there.
For
everybody
to
see.
E
Seems
to
reason
that
there
would
be
a
well-thought-out
reason
as
to
why
one
contract
would
be
$15,000
a
year
and
the
other
would
be
3,000,
and
we
just
can't
arbitrarily
use
discretion
for
one
and
not
the
other,
and
my
concern
would
be
that
there
could
possibly
result
in
a
lawsuit
down
the
road
that
you
know
this
arbitrary
discretion
can
come
back
to
us.
So
you
know
I,
like
mrs.
Stoddard
I
can't
approve
anything
that
I
feel
violates
policy.
Mr.
C
G
I,
do
have
a
few
comments
about
it.
We
talked
about
negotiating
this
I
can
say
Oakleaf
the
admin,
the
athletic
director,
the
coach.
They
spend
an
inordinate
amount
of
hours
with
the
McDonald's
people
after
they
had
negotiated
this
over
several
weeks,
then
I
was
called
in
and
we
met
one
night
for
an
hour
and
we
talked
about
this
very
issue.
I
can
assure
the
board
that
there
were
hard
negotiations.
G
We
we
get
to
a
point
where
we're
talking
to
her
a
business
and
they
have
only
X
number
of
dollars
for
budget
concern
and
advertising
things
like
that,
and
so
we
negotiated
back
and
forth,
and
this
is
where
we
landed.
It
was
this.
Are
we
lost
the
opportunity?
We
lost
the
account
this
being
a
new
endeavor,
and
all
of
you
are
very
we're
well
aware
that
you're
seeing
pro
arenas
you're
seeing
college
facilities
going
into
the
naming
rights
this
around
the
country
has
has
filtered
down
to
the
high
school
level.
G
G
Everybody
was
doing
the
best
they
could
that
$15,000
figure.
We
didn't
know
what
the
market
would
bear
in
this
issue.
We
didn't
know
what
businesses
would
be
willing
to
to
ante
up.
If
you
will
in
something
like
this
and
hindsight,
15,000
was
probably
a
little
aggressive,
and
so
here
we
are
talking
to
a
multi-million
dollar
corporation,
a
multi-billion
dollar
corporation
and
one
of
our
local
French
cheese,
franchise
owners
and-
and
this
is
where
we
settled
so
I-
am
worried
that
we
could
lose
this
if
we
don't
move
forward.
G
E
G
For
three
years
or
three
thousand
per
year-
yes,
the
Zaxby's
folks
will
also,
as
you
know,
you've
seen
the
contract
that
we
using
our
facilities
quite
often
baseball
field,
softball
football
fields
over
a
period
of
a
year's
time,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
other
activities
that
they
will
be
utilizing
versus
the
McDonald's.
Folks.
Okay,
if
you
Pro
rate-
and
this
is
another
way
we
looked
at
it-
is
if
you,
if
you
take
the
9,000
over
to
three
years
and
believe
me-
we
have
had
assurances
from
the
McDonald's
folks.
G
B
Ask
a
question
to
clarify:
would
the
board
be
open
to
allowing
the
principals
in
our
different
communities
to
kind
of
negotiate
in
good
faith,
with
some
oversight
by
our
director
of
secondary
to
and
the
best
thing
they
can
for
their
school
in
their
community,
because
it
won't
be
the
same
amount
in
every
community
I
think
that
would
be
fair.
We
talked
about
site-based
management
and
administrators
and
putting
faith
in
them
and
the
great
work
they
do
and
they
do
all
those
things
I
mean
these
high
school
people
have
worked
with
our
kids.
B
Our
graduation
rates
gone
up,
seven
percent.
In
the
last
couple
of
years,
I
mean
they
they're
dialed
in
they're
professionals
are
educated,
I,
think
they
can
talk
to
the
McDonald's
and
Zaxby's
folks
and
come
up
with
some
good
results
for
their
kids
and
our
athletics.
So
that
would
if
the
board
can
at
least
kind
of
can
in
consensus,
give
me
a
vertical
head
nod,
I'll
kind
of
go
that
way
with
a
revised
policy
that
will
be
more
succinct
than
what
this
is.
What.
N
G
N
What
I
would
be
more
comfortable
with
this
if
we
came
back
with
some
clean
language
on
this
policy
that
we
can
live
with,
that
doesn't
this
seems
very
restrictive
and
in
order
you
know,
I
have
no
problems
with
giving
some
leeway
to
the
principal's
in
the
area,
because
different
areas
of
the
county,
it's
going
to
be
a
little
different,
but
the
the
wording
in
this
policy
studying
it
last
night
and
then
when
I
saw
mr.
Sykes
email.
This
needs
to
be
cleaned
up
badly
and
I.
N
I,
don't
want
to
set
a
precedent
of
voting
against
something
this
I
feel
in
my
heart
is
in
school
policy,
but
if
you
could
just
bring
us
back
some
language
that
cleans
this
up,
this
really
I
don't
know
how
we
got
this
passed.
I
must
have
not
read
it
all
there
and
I.
Don't
know
I,
don't
know
if
this
is
the
biggest
mess
I've
ever
seen.
O
N
L
L
E
E
A
N
N
A
D
Just
don't
see
how
we're
not
living
by
policy
by
proving
both
of
these
contracts
when
that
clause
clearly
says
unless
otherwise
specified.
If
we
specify
that
this
contract
is
okay
with
us,
and
that
fits
perfectly
with
the
policy
that's
written,
even
though
I
agree,
the
language
is
convoluted.
That
clause
protects
us.
I,
don't
agree
with
that.

The
National
Junior
Honor
Society
website
says
the
requirements
are
a
3.0
GPA
community
service
and
leadership.
They
do
allow
schools
to
raise
a
GPA
if
it
is
done
fairly.
Green
Cove,
Junior
High
has
made
a
standard
that
is
set
to
reduce
the
number
of
students
allowed
into
the
society
where
they
are
deserving
or
not.
Green
Cove
has
said
that
students
must
have
a
3.75
GPA
each
nine
weeks
to
be
considered.
This
is
way
above
the
national
standard.
If
my
current
grades
did
not
change.
S
My
keynote
of
GPA
is
a
three
point:
eight
eight
for
the
year
and
there's
no
waiting
in
junior
high
I
take
the
most
difficult
classes
available
to
a
seventh
grader
at
Green.
Cove
I
have
a
98
and
Algebra
one
honors.
A
high
school
course.
I
take
gifted
English
with
a
combined
group
of
seventh
and
eighth
graders
I'm
doing
all
the
same
work
as
eighth
grade
gifted
English
I
take
advanced
classes
for
my
other
subjects.

Within
a

I'm
an
assistant
patrol
leader

a
member
of

arrow,
the
Boy
Scout
Honor
Society
I,
was
in

play
playing
the

officer
I'm
in

jazz
band,
where
I
play
the
alto
saxophone
I
go
to
school
early
every
Monday
morning
for
jazz
band
practice
and
stay
late,
every
Thursday
for
beginning

I'm
on
the
robotics
team
and
go
early
every
Wednesday
and
Thursday
for

I'm
on

TV
news

go

S
As
for
awards
at
school,
I
was
selected
to
go
to
the
school
science
fair.
With
my
project
on
life,
sensors
and
robots,
I
earned
a
superior
on
my
solo
at
district
solo
and
ensemble.
My
robotics
team
won
the
award
for
the
best
robot
at
a
robotics
tournament.
How
do
I
not
qualify?
I've
done
everything
right,
except
I,
got
two
B's
in
one
nine
weeks.
Why
do
I
care
my
twin
sister?
S
Okay,
you
can
finish
any
I'm
almost
done.
My
twin
sister
is
going
to
be
earning
this
honor
and
it
is
hard
to
watch
her
and
my
friends
and
have
people
make
fun
of
me
for
not
getting
it.
I
do
wear
a
hearing
aid
and
little
things
like
a
teacher
turning
their
back
while
talking
sitting
me
behind
someone
tall,
not
making
sure
I
got
the
assignment
or
not.
Giving
me
notes
makes
a
difference
in
my
learning.
S
S
T
T
Did
appeal
the
decision
of
the
NJEA
chess
to
the
school
sponsor
the
principal
I
sent
emails
to
the
superintendent
and
Casey
asked
me
not
to
stop
fighting
for
him
every
time
we
got
a
rejection
or
no
answer.
What
can
we
do
next?
What
can
we
do
next,
so
we're
here
tonight,
I'm
really
proud
of
him.
I
think
he's
going
to
do
great
things.
He
wants
to
be
a
robotics
engineer
when
he
grows
up
and
I
think
he's
well
on
his
way
and
I'm
just
very
disappointed
at
the
attitude
about
recognition
of
students
and
honoring
high.
T
Achieving
students
in
research
I
found
that
Lake
Asbury
junior
high
as
a
requirement
of
a
3.0
3.5
overall
GPA
for
their
National
Honor
Society
Orange
Park
Junior
High
is
all
A's
and
B's
with
no
conduct
or
behavior
issues.
Oakley
Junior
I
is
a
3.5
or
higher
nothing
less
than
a
B.
Unless
it's
a
C
in
a
weighted
course
and
no
discipline
referrals
that
resulted
in
disciplinary
action.
T
T
Really
think
they
should
review
their
policy,
but
I
did
receive
an
email
tonight
at
8:08
from
the
National
Junior
Honor
Society
headquarters
and
I'm
going
to
read
it
to
you,
hello,
miss
Ludlum.
All
chapters
are
required
to
base
the
scholarship
criteria
on
a
cumulative
GPA.
That
is
the
national
policy
to
which
all
chapters
must
adhere.
If
the
chapter
is
operating
out
of
compliance
with
the
NJ
HS
policy,
the
first
step
is
to
bring
that
to
the
attention
of
the
advisor
I.
T
Did
that
and
the
principal
and
request
they
correct
the
and
outline
the
steps
for
reconsidering
students
who
have
been
improperly
excluded.
If
so
effort
is
made
to
resolve
the
matter,
you
can
can
file
a
complaint
with
our
office.
So
I
just
got
this
at
808
tonight.
I
think
this
needs
to
be
changed.
My
son
is
outstanding
and
he's
not
the
only
one.
There
are
many
others
at
Green
Cove
who
have
outstanding
records
and
should
be
recognized
by
the
National
Junior
Honor
Society.
Thank
you.
E
U
Hi,
my
name
is
Julie
Smith
I'm,
twenty
three
twelve
links
drive
in
Fleming
Island
I'm,
actually
coming
for
the
same
reason
that
they
are
coming.
My
son
attends
Green,
Cove
junior
high
through
quarters,
one
two
and
three
his
overall
grade
point
average
was
a
three
point:
eight
three,
my
son
is
in
gifted
and
they
combined
the
seventh
and
eighth
grades
together,
so
he's
basically
taking
eighth
grade
class.
He
is
also
in
all
advanced
classes.
He
participated
on
the
basketball
team
and
the
baseball
team
and
maintain
that
GPA.
Throughout
that
time
he
takes
Chinese.
U
Lessons
on
the
side
has
for
three
years
very
bright
kid.
He
didn't
want
to
come
here
tonight
because
he's
a
little
embarrassed,
but
mom
came
for
him.
I
do
know
that
there
are
several
other
kids
who
were
in
the
same
situation
and
because
of
embarrassment
over
the
policy
at
Green
Cove.
They
don't
want
to
come
forward,
or
else
they
choose
to
tell
their
friends.
Oh
I
was
I
was
offered
to
be
in
that,
and
you
know,
I
turned
it
down
or
whatever
so
I.
Don't
think
that
most
of
them
choose
to
do
that.
U
But
I
do
think
that
Green
Coast
policy
is
a
little
harsh
actually
now
that
I've
seen
her
email
they're,
actually
not
in
compliance
with
the
national
policy,
but
they
changed
the
minimum
GPA
a
few
years
ago
in
order
to
have
less
kids
join,
which
makes
no
sense
to
me.
I.
Don't
think
that
you
should
raise
the
standard
just
because
you
have
you
know
a
lot
of
kids
achieving
that.
U
It
should
be
a
feather
in
your
cap
that
Green
Cove
has
that
many
kids
and
their
their
GPA
requirement
is
well
above
almost
every
other
school
in
the
county.
So
I
think
that
in
future
that
should
be
considered
that
maybe
there
should
be
a
County
policy
versus
the
school
policy
and
a
child
who
is
in
gifted
classes,
who
is
doing
other
stuff
on
top
of
that
and
can
maintain
a
3.8
3
GPA.
And
if
his
grades
hold
for
the
fourth
quarter,
he'll
have
a
3.8
eight
for
the
year.
F
A
A
A
V
My
name
is
Keith
Nichols,
and
my
address
has
been
previously
recorded.
I
want
to
read
this
into
the
record
from
the
funds
and
specific
appropriations.
87
480
million
dollars
is
provided
for
salary
increases,
included,
related
benefits
for
FICA
and
FRS
for
school
district
and
charter,
school
classroom
teachers,
guidance,
counselors,
social
workers,
psychologists,
librarians,
principals
and
assistant
principals
to
be
distributed
in
June
of
2014,
based
on
2013-2014
performance
evaluations,
as
required
under
provisions
of
Senate
bill,
16,
64
or
similar
legislation,
as
verified
by
the
Department
of
Education.
V
I
mentioned
this
because
there's
been
several
occasions
when
mr.
Van
Zandt
has
stood
up
here
and
told
people
that
both
the
support
department
and
the
teachers
should
be
negotiating
their
salary
out
of
the
6.1
million
dollars.
That
was
clay,
County's
cut
of
the
480
million.
Now
what
I
just
read
to
you
was
specific
appropriation
is
87
and
I
hope
you
all
notice
that
nowhere
in
the
language
of
that
law
does.
V
It
include
support
personnel,
bus
drivers,
custodians
teachers,
aides,
cafeteria
workers,
secretaries,
plumbers,
a/c
technicians
and
a
whole
host
of
others
were
specifically
excluded
from
those
funds
by
law
and
in
email.
I
received
from
miss
McKinnon.
She
said
that
there
was
language
in
the
law
that
allowed
discretion
on
the
part
of
school
boards
as
to
the
disbursement
of
those
four
phones
yeah.
When
I
just
read
specific
appropriations
87
to
you,
it
seems
pretty
well
specific
to
me
now
I'm
wondering
if
that's
why
they
call
it
specific
appropriations
87
at
the
special
school
board
meeting
recently,
mr.
V
Van
Zandt
mentioned
in
Miss
McKinnon
agreed
that
several
counties
actually
did
pay
support
personnel
from
the
funds
provided
in
specific
appropriations,
87
and
they
are
correct.
But
to
quote
my
mother:
if
the
other
kid
jumped
off
the
cliff,
would
you,
while
mr.
Van
Zandt
may
be
comfortable
with
violating
the
law
or
feel
that
some
wells
shouldn't
apply
to
certain
people?
I'm
thankful
that
the
school
board
at
the
time
acted
responsibly,
I
fear
that
would
not
be
the
case.
Were
we
to
face
a
similar
situation
today?
Now,
mr.
V
Van
Zandt,
you
told
miss
Denmark
that
she
doesn't
get
to
make
up
her
facts.
These
sirs
are
the
facts.
You
don't
get
to
play
games
with
those.
Those
are
the
facts.
Incidentally,
one
other
thing
I
do
want
to
bring
up
the
comment
that
you
make
about
the
humanitarians
I
took
it
as
a
personal
mission
to
called
Navy
Bureau
personnel
to
Washington
to
see
I
talked
to
the
detailer
that
is
in
charge
of
humanitarian
reassignments.
She
knows
absolutely
nothing
about
what
you're
talking
about.
W
Good
evening,
Renly
private
president
of
CCA-
and
you
have
my
I,
don't
know
what
to
say
to
you.
I
was
going
to
talk
about
something
completely
different,
but
that
young
man
was
just
superb.
So
you
know
my
only
thing
to
Green
Cove
was
that
that
you
know
so,
I
don't
know
if
you
can
read
that,
but
that's
what
what
I
say,
but
these
kids
are
just
marvelous.
W
You
know
really
you
sit
there
and
you
no
matter
what
and
I'm
sure
this
is
gonna
be
resolved
and
I'm
sure
that
you
guys
are
going
to
sit
down
and
sort
this
out,
but
he's
definitely
is
just
blew.
My
blew
me
away
what
he
could
do,
but
anyway,
what
I
was
gonna
talk
to
you
about
is
what
email
I
sent
to
the
school
board
about
your
November
resolution,
because
I
don't
want
you
to
forget
it.
W
This
is
the
last
school
board
meeting
before
summer
and
I'm
I
am
concerned
about
the
third
graders
and
the
third
grade
teachers
have
numerously
contacted
me
and
third
graders
have
you
know
I?
Don't
you
know
what
can
I
say
about
this
testing
that
hasn't
already
been
out
there
and
said
you
know
it's
just
a
travesty.
W
If
you
just
allow
me
to
say
something
about
what
mr.
Nichols
said,
because
as
president
of
the
CCA
I
am
so
tired
of
us
talking
about
the
6.1
and
I,
think
it
said,
teacher
salary
allocation,
it
didn't
say
anything
else:
it's
a
teacher
salary
allocation.
This
is
the
memo
out
of
the
doctor
out
of
dr.
Scott
governor
Scott's
office.
W
That
specifically,
was
the
point
of
inference
and
what
we
are
to
do
with
these
funds
and
what
we're
not
to
do
with
these
funds
and
number
eight
on
it
is
who
is
eligible
and
the
language
is
very
explicit,
classroom
teachers,
guidance,
counselors,
social
workers,
psychologists,
librarians,
principals
and
assistant
principals,
not
as
those
eligible
to
receive
the
funds
from
the
allocations
is
very
simple.
It
was
very
explicit.
This
was
given
to
us
from
the
district
at
bargaining.
That's
where
we
first
got
this.
W
We
took
time
and
it
was
excruciating
because
we
even
asked
for
clarification
from
FAA
and
they
came
back
to
us
and
said
you
could
give
classroom
assistants
because
classroom
assistants.
There
is
some
leeway
and
then
we
had
a
discussion
on
how
do
we
splits
ESPA?
How
do
we
even
give
classroom
assistants
arrays
and
not
anybody
else?
So
I'm
really
am
exhausted.
W
With
hearing
this
constantly
said,
at
this
board
floor
about
the
teachers
kept
it,
you
know
the
teachers
kept
it
because
we
were
told
to
keep
it.
The
teachers
kept
it
because
this
is
the
directed
from
from
governor
Scott's
office.
So
that's
why
the
teachers
did
it.
So
I
would
like
to
just
move
on
worried
about
the
no
money
we
have
right
now
and
where
we're
going
to
go
with
our
teachers,
three
steps
behind
that's
where
I'm
worried
about.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
All
right,
I
feel
like
I
need
to
put
this
in
context
a
little
bit
all
right.
We
have
a
great
system
of
government
here
in
the
United
States
of
America,
the
greatest
country
on
the
face
of
the
earth,
and
we
have
a
couple
of
branches
of
government.
We
have
the
executive
branch,
the
legislative
branch
and
the
judicial
branch
and
all
the
legislative
branches
in
our
system
of
government
that
I'm
aware
of
have
meetings
more
than
once
a
month.
They
have
meetings
during
daylight
hours.
B
They
have
meetings
during
the
business
day,
pretty
much
even
Clay
County.
Now,
with
all
200,000
of
our
people,
we
stream
it
on
the
web.
We
put
it
on
television.
We
do
multiple
things
with
that.
The
room
we're
all
sitting
in
tonight
is
the
teacher
training
center.
This
is
not
Fleming
Island
High
School
we're
all
located
on
Fleming
Island,
High,
School's
campus.
This
money
was
given
to
Clay
County
as
a
specific
appropriation
for
training
for
our
people.
B
So,
last
month,
when
we
are
a
couple
weeks
ago,
when
we
had
a
special
meeting
in
Green
Cove,
which
is
the
county
seat,
which
is
we're,
the
only
Clay
County
school
board,
meeting
room
that
has
ever
existed
resides
we
had
a
special
meeting
and
that's
okay.
Now
our
US
Senate,
our
US
Congress,
our
Florida
Senate,
our
Florida
House
of
Representatives,
our
Board
of
County
Commissioners,
Boards
of
County
Commissioners,
all
over
the
state
of
Florida
and
other
school
boards,
all
over
the
state
of
Florida
meet
there
in
the
day.
B
Florida
Statutes
changed
a
few
years
ago
to
require
school
boards
to
have
at
least
one
meeting
each
fiscal
quarter
in
the
evening
when
it
was
convenient
for
most
community
members
to
get
there.
Clay
County
school
board
has
always
had
at
least
one
meeting
a
month
at
7
p.m.
at
a
annually
agreed-upon
time
and
place
for
that
one
regular
meeting.
B
However,
our
policy
allows
for
special
meetings
and
emergency
meetings
so
putting
that
in
the
context
of
all
that,
sometimes
it
takes
more
to
run
the
largest
employment
agency
in
Clay
County,
with
5,000
employees
and
almost
36,000
students.
Sometimes
the
school
board
has
to
meet
more
than
once
a
month,
so
with
all
that
and
with
the
authority
and
our
school
board
policy
is
superintendent
to
call
a
special
meeting
I'm
calling
a
special
meeting
for
June
8th,
which
is
a
Monday
and
5:00
p.m.
please
mark
your
calendars.
B
We
have
some
items
that
are
not
ready
yet
that
we
are
working
on
lots
going
on
in
the
school
district.
Any
of
these
lovely
people
out
here
the
workforce
moving.
Our
kids
could
tell
you
about
them.
Miss
Bush
had
me
a
little
list
here
somewhere,
but
among
them
our
property
casualty
insurance
race
to
miss
legato
and
her
team
are
working
on
that
are
always
brought
during
this
summer
during
the
daylight
have
since
to
16
17
years
I've
been
participating.
B
The
board
has
asked
for
a
legal
analysis
and
a
recommendation
on
legal
services
I
plan
to
bring
that
at
a
meeting
on
June
8.
You
guys
have
asked
me
to
bring
allocations
to
you
for
administrators
in
the
Clay
County
School
District,
in
a
way
that
of
we've
never
shaped
them
before,
and
we're
working
on
that
and
I'll
have
that
for
you,
June
8th
at
5:00
p.m.
and
it
might
even
have
a
McDonald's
naming
rights
thing
at
least
drafted
by
then
I'll.
B
E
E
Will
it's
been
a
busy
month,
I
think
I
won't
go
into
everything
that
we've
all
done.
There's
been
many
retirements,
there's
been
Tropicana
speech,
competitions,
there's
been
award
ceremonies,
FFA
banquets
we've
had
a
lot
of
stuff,
one
of
the
special
things
that
we
got
to
attend.
You
were
there.
Mrs.
stuttered
are
take
stock
for
children,
our
scholarship
dinner,
which
was
really
nice,
and
we
all
had
a
good
time.
What
I'd
like
to
say
is
just
congratulate
all
our
our
teachers,
our
support
staff,
our
administrators
on
another,
wonderful
school
year.
E
D
I
would
like
to
echo
miss
piya's
comments
about
our
third
grade
students
being
held
harmless
over
this
test.
If
we're
going
to
hold
our
high
schoolers,
why
in
the
world,
would
we
penalize
our
youngest?
So
that
being
said,
I
just
want
to
wish
everyone
a
safe
and
reflective
Memorial,
Day
and
Memorial
Day
weekend
and
congratulations
to
all
of
our
seniors,
graduating
I,
look
forward
to
attending
oakley's
ceremony
and
with
that
good
night,
mrs.
stuttered.
N
It's
kind
of
nice
feeling
this
end
I,
don't
think.
I
got
tired
of
always
having
to
go
first.
Okay,
this
month,
I
got
it
I've
got
to
say:
I
was
so
impressed
at
the
math
field
day.
That
was
phenomenal.
I
mean
it
was
just
wonderful.
What
can
you
say?
Those
kids
were
so
excited
and
that's
nice
to
see.
You
know
people
get
excited
at
football
games
and
so
forth,
but
these
kids
and
the
parents
were
excited
about
math.
Can
you
imagine
and
the
gym
was
full?
N
There
was
standing
room
only
we
we
could
have
used
a
few
more
bleachers.
If
we
could.
It
was
just
a
great
day
we
had
the
Northeast
Florida
coalition
of
school
board
meeting
over
in
st.
Augustine,
we're
all
looking
forward
to
going
to
the
June
conference
of
the
Florida
School
Board
Association.
That
will
be
coming
up
to
June
the
10th
and
11th
12th
in
that
time
period.
So
you
know
with
the
legislature
going
back
into
session
and
we're
just
hoping
that
we'll
know
something
because
they'll
be
keeping
us
abreast
of.
N
Know
that
a
lot
of
the
schools
are
having
their
award
ceremonies
on
behalf
of
rotary
I
had
going
to
do
a
presentation
of
Pitt
Orange
Park,
High,
School
senior
awards
night
I
know
all
the
schools
are
really
having
good
things,
but
when
you
go
to
those,
it
just
makes
your
heart
feel
good.
You
just
want
to
just
absolutely
burst
with
the
excitement
and
pride.
N
We
really
have
some
out
state
students
here
in
this
county
and
our
sending
teachers
and
administrators,
and
if
you
go
to
the
math
filled
days
or
go
to
these
different
of
the
tropicana
speech
contest
these
kids
they're
great
it
just
recharges
your
batteries
I'll
be
at
Orange
Park
for
graduation
day
Orange
Park
half
this
graduation
year
and
then
we've
got
Bannerman
on
Monday
at
1:00
in
this
room.
If
you
want
to
attend
another
graduation
and
I
hope
you
all
have
a
safe
and
happy
Memorial
Day
weekend.
N
A
You
mister
I
may
talk
a
little
bit
longer
than
my
counterparts.
I
am
I
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
take
my
feelings
about
the
things
going
on
in
our
state
with
testing
a
little
bit
further.
Miss
Paiva
and
I
have
the
pleasure
of
sitting
in
the
peanut
gallery
and
the
insurance
committee
meetings.
A
We
aren't
voting
members
unless
it
goes
to
RFP,
and
so
we
have
seen
each
other
more
often
than
just
these
meetings,
and
we
may
not
always
agree
on
everything,
but
this
is
something
that
we
share
in
Broward
County
in
the
Orlando
Sentinel
and
on
May
19th
in
Broward
County
teachers
teachers
will
decide
if
3rd
graders
will
be
promoted
or
held
back
based
on
their
class
performance.
Isn't
that
a
novel
idea
in
Palm
Beach
County
teachers
will
use
district
tests
and
other
local
measurements
to
identify
3rd
graders,
who
are
not
at
the
reading
level?
A
Keith
Oswald,
chief
academic
officer
for
Palm
Beach,
County
Schools,
said
their
district
would
not
use
any
of
the
test
results.
This
year
he
said
the
state
has
rushed
changes
through,
despite
pushback
from
local
districts,
educators
and
parents
in
Orange
County.
The
superintendent
Barbara
Jenkins
reacted
to
the
decision
from
the
Florida
Department
of
Education
to
suspend
the
consequences
of
Algebra
one
two
in
geometry
and
she
decided
to
take
it
they're,
holding
all
students
harmless
from
the
numerous
common
finals
or
district
developed
end-of-course
exams
mandated
by
the
state
to
determine
teacher
effectiveness.
A
A
New
online
testing
has
failed
repeatedly
with
students
unable
to
log
on
or
losing
their
work
mid
tests
throughout
it
all
the
Florida
Legislature
has
been
sluggish
about
holding
teachers
and
students
harmless
to
what
amounts
to
a
testing
experiment,
and
then
she
says
more
importantly,
third
grade
promotion
considerations
will
not
include
FSA
outcomes
which
have
not
been
validated
in
the
sun-sentinel
from
May
20th
I
was
able
to
find
an
article
that
is
called
FSA
scores.
Question
mark
school
grades,
question
mark
here's,
the
release
of
the
Florida
timeline
and
I'm
reading
down.
A
That
concerned
me-
and
it
says
a
no
later
than
the
week
of
June
8th
a
list
of
third
graders
who
scored
in
the
lowest
20%
of
all
third
graders
on
the
FSA
Language
Arts
exam
will
be
delivered
to
the
districts.
This
is
meant
to
help
schools
make
promotional
retention
decisions
for
3rd
graders
in
the
absence
of
an
actual
test
score.
That
was
alarming
to
me
that
we
would
put
students
in
a
low
it,
lower
20th
percentile
and
rank
them
when
we
don't
actually
know
if
those
test
scores
are
valid.
A
Based
on
what
the
legislature
has
told
us
and
then
I'm
almost
done,
Citrus
County
school
board
has
called
on
Governor
Rick
Scott
to
suspend
testing
constant.
This
was
in
the
Tampa
Bay
Times
on
Wednesday
May
13th,
but
then
I
also
believe
that
all
board
members,
as
well
as
all
FSB
a
members,
also
received
a
copy
of
this
letter
that
was
written
to
Governor.
A
Scott
and
I
won't
read
the
whole
thing,
but
the
Citrus
County
School
Board
on
Tuesday
May
12th
reiterated
its
support
for
accountability
measures,
but
insisted
that
measures
be
reliable,
equitable,
valid
and
fully
funded
things
that
it
believes
Florida
has
not
done
accountability
based
on
faulty
data.
A
flawed
assessment
processes
has
no
real
value
and
can
be
detrimental
to
students,
teachers
and
schools.
We
therefore
are
imploring
you
to
use
your
authority
of
your
office.
This
was
to
Governor
Scott
to
immediately
sign
an
executive
order
that
would
suspend
the
use
of
these
assessments
for
student
grades.
A
The
use
of
these
assessments,
for
course,
requirements
the
use
of
these
assessments
for
graduation
requirements.
The
use
of
these
assessments
for
any
performance
pay
requirements
for
teachers
and
administrators
and
the
school
accountability
school
grade
for
the
2014-2015
school
year
and
I
actually
have
the
full
letter
that
was
written
to
Governor
Scott.
A
She
says
to
the
rest
of
her
board
and
her
superintendent
and
her
pub
the
public.
What
are
the
consequences?
If
Seminole
County
says
you
know
what
state
of
Florida
until
you
get
your
act
together?
We're
gonna
set
this
one
out
we're
getting
off
your
crazy
train.
What
happens
so
her
board
attorney
said
just
skipping.
A
What
I
didn't
realize
was
that
exactly
one
month
later
on
5:20,
when
our
students
were
logging
on
to
take
their
civics
biology
in
US
history,
EEOC
s,
there
was
yet
another
cyber
attack.
Leon
County
Superintendent
has
hand-delivered
a
letter
to
the
governor,
asking
him
to
suspend
school
grades.
Miami-Dade
Walton,
Lea,
Charlotte
and
Brevard
have
all
slashed
their
end.
Of
course,
exams
saying
their
students
are
over
tested
and
they
just
did
away
with
them.
A
Brevard
is
using
portfolios
for
retention
and
Broward
Orange,
Seminole
and
citrus
have
all
decided
that
they
are
not
going
to
retain
their
third
graders
based
on
FSA
test
scores.
So
I
would
like
to
ask
my
fellow
board
members
and
the
superintendent
to
look
into
all
of
this.
For
us
in
clay,
because
I
think
that
it's
time
that
we
to
take
a
stand,
I
didn't
find
any
North
Florida
districts,
making
these
movements
but
I
think
we
will
see
more
and
more.
So.
Madam.
X
Chair
could
I
just
address
that,
oh
sure,
I'm,
sorry,
I
just
want
to
say
you
can
add
Clay
County
to
that
list.
Okay,
because
Clay
County
was,
is
always
going
to
make
decisions
in
the
best
interest
of
children
as
long
as
I
am
sitting
in
this
seat
and
as
long
as
I
know,
mr.
Van
Zant
is
in
that
seat
with
that
will
always
be
the
case.
We
have
been
utilizing
with
state
tests
what
state
statute
does
allow
for
us
to
use,
and
that
is
good
cause
exemption.
X
We
will
not
use
the
FSA
or
lack
thereof
for
promotion
or
retention
decisions.
This
year
we
don't
even
know
when
we'll
actually
get
those
quartile
scores
back
you're
talking
June
8th,
that's
a
little
late,
so
we
have
been
administering
portfolio
assessments
to
our
third-grade
students.
We've
also
been
proactive
in
administering
the
Sat
10,
which
is
a
very
reliable
assessment.
That's
been
around
for
years.
Students
who
do
not
pass
this
at
ten
we'll
have
some
remediation
and
have
another
chance
to
take
that
test.
X
We
have
summer
reading
camp
going
on
this
summer
as
well
for
additional
remediation.
We
will
make
promotion
and
retention
decisions
for
those
students
in
question
after
summer
time
when
they've
had
some
additional
remediation,
but
we
were,
we
are
going
to
make
decisions
in
the
best
interest
of
children.
So
please
add
us
to
that
list.
Thank.
B
Thanks
mr.
corn,
again
and
I
was
going
to
bring
that
up
specifically
with
the
third
graders.
We
won't
have
FSA
in
time
to
do
anything
with
it.
It's
neat
living
this
with
a
third
grader.
This
year
they
took
the
FSA,
then
they
took
the
portfolio
exam
and
then
any
of
them
that
didn't
pass
the
portfolio
to
the
sat
ten.
So
even
our
numbers
going
into
what
we
call
summer
reading
camp,
especially
at
the
third
grade
level,
are
very
low
we've.
B
We
do
a
lot
of
data
points
through
the
year
with
all
our
students,
but
especially
those
third
graders,
so
frame
by
this
listening
tonight.
Your
kids,
especially
your
third
graders,
have
been
given
every
opportunity
to
succeed,
and
the
ones
who
we
still
have
concerns
with
will
continue
to
be
remediated.
Like
mr.
Kornegay
said
over
the
summer,
some
of
these
South
Florida
districts
that
you
mentioned
that
did
away
with
law
their
OCS
they're
kind
of
making
a
big
deal
about
not
giving
this
test
or
that
test
anymore.
B
B
B
It
might
have
even
raised
some
schools
from
a
B
to
an
A,
because
we
would
have
put
them
in
the
FCAT
and
made
them
take
too
big
math
test,
but
every
time
we
shove
kids
in
a
computer
lab
to
take
a
test,
we're
shoving
other
kids
out
we're
losing
weeks
of
instruction.
We
don't
like
that.
We
don't
do
it
any
more
than
we
have
to
when
I
talk
to
you
about
thin-client
labs
and
I
bring
mr.
Hendrix
and
mr.
B
One
of
the
things
Clay
County
does
lead
in
throughout
the
state
is
paper/pencil
options:
I'm
not
anti-technology
in
any
way,
but
until
I
can
bring
you
balanced
budget
minimum
fund
balance
and
all
the
technology
to
test
all
the
kids
simultaneously
will
continue
to
fight
for
those
paper/pencil
options
and
then
the
lower
grades
that
just
makes
sense
anyway.
The
whole
reason
that
you
give
an
assessment
is
to
inform
instruction.
B
That's
listening
just
please
understand
that
I'm
we
do
what's
in
the
best
interest
of
kids,
with
the
best
interest,
their
best
interest
at
heart
and
with
the
best
information
we
have
at
the
time
we
have
it,
and
that
is
the
daily
standard
here,
and
if
people
don't
live
up
to
that,
I
encourage
them
to
go,
be
successful
elsewhere.
Okay,
thank
you.
I
have.
N
A
question
before
you
adjourn
and
I
guess:
I
should
ask
mr.
Kornegay.
If
that's
okay,
miss
corrugate,
you
said
that
there
would
be
students
going
through
remediation
and
so
forth
this
summer
and
then
at
the
end
of
the
summer,
sometimes
they'll
decide
if
they're
to
go
forward
or
be
held
back.
Is
that
correct?
X
It's
no
different
than
any
other
summer.
We,
this
time
of
year,
dr.
Herndon,
has
sent
out
emails
to
the
school.
Looking
at
the
numbers
of
possible
retentions
based
on
student
performance
over
the
course
of
the
year,
multiple
data
points,
as
he
was
mentioning
those
who
might
be
in
danger
of
retention,
FAC
FSA
aside
or
FCAT
aside,
we've
never
relied
on
that
as
a
sole
measure,
because
we've
always
had
good
cause
of
exemption.
So
we
we,
we
don't
anticipate
any
more
students
and
we
would
typically
have
in
a
summer
going
through
the
remediation
program.
But
how.
X
I'd
be
guessing
and
I
hate
to
do
that.
I'd,
rather
give
you
exact
numbers
and
and
I
can
certainly
provide
you
numbers
of
possible
retentions,
because
we
have
that
information.
Typically
during
the
summer
as
they
remediate,
our
students
do
very
well.
Our
teachers
are
it's
very
small
numbers
people
to
teacher
ratio.
They
do
take
the
Sat
10
again
after
some
very
intensive
remediation
and
our
kids
do
well.
So
we
don't
have
a
large
number
of
retentions.
We
always
in
our
allocations,
anticipate
no
set
number
based
on
prior
year,
but
I.
L
Basically,
I'd
like
to
remind
everybody
the
moral
day
we
can
be
careful
about
people
drinking
and
driving
this
weekend,
but
more
important
than
that.
I
would
ask
everybody
remember
what
this
weekend's
about.
Memorial
Day
is
about
remembering
our
veterans
that
have
died
in
service
to
their
country
and
their
families
that
that
are
going
through
this
weekend
and
having
this
time
without
that
member
of
the
family.
L
These
people
have
sacrificed
the
ultimate
price
of
the
these
lives
that
lost
so
that
we
can
be
in
here
and
we
can
discuss
and
debate
and
have
what
we're
doing
that
price
that
those
people
paid
is
tremendous
and
I.
Just
would
like
to
ask
everybody
when
you're
having
your
good
time
this
week
and
have
your
time
off
think
about
also
the
price
that
people
paid.
So
we
could
be
here
and
have
this
discussions
this.
M
No
I've
got
mine,
I
have
so
many
things,
I
have
so
many
things.
I
really
don't
have
a
lot
to
say
because
I
know
you
don't
really
want
to
hear
it,
meaning
in
the
interest
of
time,
but
now
I
appreciate
that
mascara
cos.
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody.
Again.
I've
worked
for
seven
superintendents
in
my
39
years.
Every
one
of
them
have
they
brought
each
different.
Their
leadership
style
was
different.
I
learned
something
from
each
one
of
them.
I've
enjoyed
working
for
each
one
of
them
and
again
I.
Just
can't
emphasize
enough.
M
Gum
it
I
have
been
I
have
worked
in
other
counties
and
I'm
just
telling
you
y'all
have
something
special
here.
We
have
something
very
special
here:
I'm,
not
making
it
up
and
you
need
to
be
proud
of.
It,
continue
to
work
at
it
and
and
and
congratulate
each
other
for
it
and
support
each
other
in
it.
Because
Clay
County
is
a
strong
district,
I
heard
Mr
Van
Zant
mentioned
our
graduation
rate
has
gone
up
in
spite
of
the
ridiculous
mess.
That's
come
down
from
Tallahassee
I
mean
that's
pretty
darn
incredible.
M
It
really
is
in
spite
of
all
the
things
the
teachers
are
trying
to
do
out
there
in
the
schools
every
day,
in
spite
of
everything
the
the
principal's
in
the
end,
the
ApS
are
doing.
The
kids
have
continued
to
learn
because
everybody
in
this
room,
everybody
in
those
school
houses,
have
concentrated
on
doing
what
they
need
to
do
to
move
kids
forward
and
I'm.
Just
telling
you
this
is
a
special
place.
You
won't
find
this
in
every
school
district.
You
just
want
so,
please
you
know,
cherish
it
work
hard
at
it
celebrate
it.
