Let
us
join
together
in
prayer,
Almighty
God,
we
gathered
this,
offers
our
children
the
opportunity
to
enlighten
their
minds
and
to
learn
to
live
and
grow
together,
and
we
give
you
thanks
for
these.
We
are
grateful
for
a
nation
where
our
children
can
attend
school
and
relative
peace
and
where
opportunities
abound
for
nurture
and
enrichment,
as
we
gather
this
evening,
we're
mindful
of
our
school
board
and
our
superintendent
and
the
services
they
render,
and
we
give
you
thanks
for
these.
E
E
We
pray
for
our
economy
and
for
the
havoc
you
can
play
in
the
lives
of
our
children,
and
our
families
enable
us
to
teach
our
students
the
value
of
their
talents
and
abilities
by
revealing
to
them
the
difference
that
one
person
can
make
for
the
good
enable
us
to
teach
our
students.
The
ways
of
love,
by
rising
above
the
pettiness
of
personal
differences,
for
the
common
good,
enable
us
to
express
to
our
students
our
appreciation
for
what
others
have
done
for
us.

The
Clay
County
School,
Board
monthly
meeting,
will
come
to
order
June,
27th
2019
I
want
to
welcome
all
of
you.
Citizens
of
Clay
County
I'd
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
out
of
your
busy
schedule
to
attend
tonight's
school
board.
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.
D
D
You
may
turn
it
into
any
of
the
deputies
there's
one
over
here
in
the
back
and
chief
Wagner
on
the
my
right.
If
you
will
give
your
card
to
one
of
the
deputies,
then
they
will
get
it
to
me.
No
additional
cards
will
be
accepted
once
the
board
moves
to
the
public
comment
section
under
presentations
from
the
audience.
Your
participation
is
welcomed
and
appreciated
under
our
recognitions
and
awards.
Tonight
we
have
the
recognized
the
2018-2019,
retirees
and
I
see
a
lot
out
here:
Kathy
Richardson,
oh.
D
And
let
me
state
for
the
record:
miss
Bella
is
in
Wisconsin
on
a
longer
goal
plan
like,
but
we
have
made
arrangements
for
her
to
participate
in
the
board
meeting
tonight
electronically.
So
this
is
something
new
now
Mary.
We
can
see
every
every
speck
on
your
face,
so
you
know
don't
put
your
nose
or
do
anything
nasty,
okay,
okay,.
F
There's
a
certain
amount
of
angst
as
some
of
our
retirees
start
thinking
about
retirement,
but
once
they
cross
over
that
threshold
they
kind
of
get
a
little
pep
in
their
step.
They
get
a
little
smile,
they
start
relaxing
you
start
seeing
them
really
enjoying
life.
And,
yes,
you
look
out
a
lot
of
those
who
have
this
big
ol
smile
all
over
their
face,
so
retirement
is
going
to
be
very,
very
welcoming
to
them
and
we
just
want
to
acknowledge
them.
F
F
When
I
read
your
names,
if
you'll
come
forward
and
the
number
of
years
that
I
am
explaining
or
sharing
with,
you
are
the
years
that
have
been
in
Clay
County.
A
lot
of
them
have
come
from
different
districts
or
different
states
as
well,
but
this
is
for
the
years
that
they've
dedicated
to
Clay
County,
so
the
first
one
that
I
would
like
to
acknowledge,
which
was
one
of
the
first
ladies
I
met
when
I
came
to
Clay
County
is
Charlene
kelis
and
she
has
28
years
to
Clay,
County
and.
A
D
D
H
H
All
right
so,
every
year,
the
Florida
Council
for
social
studies
provides
us
the
opportunity
to
recognize
our
outstanding
teachers.
This
year,
teachers,
administrators
and
staff
members
were
invited
to
nominate
social
studies,
teachers
from
kindergarten
up
through
12th
grade
who
inspire
student
learning
and
creativity
in
their
classroom
Israel.
So
these
teachers
competed
for
three
different
awards:
a
beginning
teacher
award
excellence
in
teaching
history
award
and,
as
the
outstanding
social
studies
teacher
award
for
elementary
junior
high
or
senior
high
this
year,
we
had
over
50
teachers
nominated
across
a
district.
Tonight.
H
I
would
like
to
introduce
you
to
the
five
teachers
who
were
selected
to
represent
our
district
all
right
and
for
the
first
one
carry
arm
again.
She
teaches
at
swimming
pan
Creek.
She
has
a
passion
for
history
and
a
passion
for
kids.
She
runs
a
dynamic
classroom
where
third
graders
have
the
opportunity
to
immerse
themselves
in
history,
geography
and
civics
through
student-led
projects.
Social
studies
comes
to
life
through
primary
source
projects,
living
museums
in
real-world
simulations,
for
example.
H
We
know
that
her
kids,
when
they
learn
about
the
Constitution
there
are
so
many
different
ways
to
teach
it,
but
she
has
the
kids
write
their
own
constitution
and
they
serve
as
delegates,
and
they
take
turns
signing
that
very
creative
colleagues
and
parents
and
students
say
they
just
so
much
appreciate
her
soft
spoken
kindness,
her
compassion
in
the
mutual
respect
that
she
establishes
in
her
classroom,
as
one
of
her
colleague
puts
it,
she's
at
the
forefront
of
the
next
generation
of
great
teachers,
so
Kari
arm
again
from
sump'n
Creek.
Congratulations.
H
Mr.
David
Bradley,
he
teaches
social
studies
at
oak
leaf
jr.,
and
there
are
so
many
things
that
you
can
say
about
mr.
Bradley,
but
we
know
that
he
is
a
true
mentor
to
the
students
that
come
through,
not
just
those
that
come
through
his
door,
any
of
the
students
on
his
campus
when
he
sees
a
child,
he
doesn't
just
see
who
they
are.
He
sees
what
they're
gonna
be.
He
believes
in
the
very
best
of
every
single
one
of
them
and
those
students
they
rise
to
it.
Mr.
H
Bradley
has
been
a
mentor
to
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
students
over
his
career.
You
know
that
as
a
child,
you
will
leave
your
club
leave
his
class
better
than
when
you
arrived,
not
just
as
a
student
but
as
a
person.
Mr.
Bradley
has
proudly
served
in
the
Marines
and
he
continues
to
serve
our
children
and
our
community.
So
mr.
Bradley,
thank
you
for
everything
you
do
for
our
community.
He
is
our
outstanding
social
studies
teacher
of
the
year
in
our
middle
school
division.
H
Jeanna
Abbot
teaches
world
history,
both
just
a
world
history
and
AP
World
History
at
Orange,
Park
High
and
when
you
become
a
student
in
her
class,
just
be
prepared
to
be
inspired.
She
engages
her
students
every
day
in
rigorous
academics,
while
Oster
also
fostering
really
strong
relationships
with
every
single
one
of
her
students,
if
you're
a
child
in
her
class.
H
You
know
that
you
have
a
champion
in
her,
and
this
gives
these
kids
the
confidence
to
believe
in
themselves
and
ultimately
find
their
own
voice,
which
we
know
is
so
important
in
social
studies
and
just
in
life
in
general,
she's,
humble
she's
kind,
and
we
are
just
incredibly
grateful
that
she
is
part
of
one
play
so
Jenna.
You
are
our
outstanding
social
studies
teacher
of
the
year
and
our
senior
high
division.
Congratulations.
H
H
He
teaches
like
a
seasoned
educator
every
one
of
his
lessons
is
well
planned.
He
knows
he
has
the
end
goal
in
mind.
He
knows
what
every
single
one
of
those
students
needs
and-
and
he
meets
those
needs,
he's
a
mentor
to
his
his
students.
They
look
up
to
him.
They
respect
him
and
those
kids
will
do
anything
he
asks
because
they
know
that
he
believes
in
them
and
he
believed
there's
a
mutual
respect
and
they
believe
in
each
other,
while
our
data
has
not
come
out
yet
I
know
we're
all
anxiously
awaiting
it.
H
No
doubt
his
kids
are
gonna
be
celebrating
because
they
achieve
in
his
class
they
achieve
as
humans
and
they
achieve
as
students.
He
pushes
them
to
be
their
very
best.
I
know
I,
don't
know
what
the
future
holds
for
mr.
Jones,
but
I
know
that
it
is
gonna,
be
bright
for
him
and
for
his
students.
So
I'd
like
to
recognize
him
tonight
as
clay
County's,
Warren
Tracy,
beginning
teacher
award.
H
And
Julie
McCree
Julie
McCree
teaches
at
Middleburg
high
and
she
teaches
social
studies
any
adult.
Probably
any
kid
will
tell
you
that
change
is
hard
and
Julie
is
being
recognized
tonight
because
she
has
not
only
accepted
change.
She
has
completely
embraced
it
for
the
betterment
of
her
students.
So
last
year
and
I'm
not
telling
you
anything
that
she
wouldn't
tell
you
right
here,
miss
McReady
decided
to
make
sweeping
changes
in
her
instructional
practices.
She
saw
her
data
and
while
we
were
very
proud
of
it,
we
were
excited
we
were
excited.
H
She
just
knew
that
her
kids
were
capable
of
more
so
she
made
big
decisions.
Rows
of
desks
were
moved
into
groups,
textbooks
were
turned
into
Chromebooks
and
teacher
talk
moved
into
student
talk,
it
was
a
big
risk
and
any
teacher
will
tell
you
in
a
high,
accountable,
subject
area.
It's
scary.
When
you
take
these
big
changes,
it
wasn't
little,
it
was
drastic
and
she
welcomed
support.
She
worked
with
the
teachers
on
her
campus.
She
formed
a
great
team
and
she
worked
with
her
kids.
She
monitored
to
see
where
they
were.
H
What
did
they
need
and
is
it
working
and
I
will
tell
you
again
why
our
data
doesn't
come
back?
We
were
monitoring
throughout
the
year
and
her
student
achievement
the
number
of
kids
who
are
successful,
shot
up.
These
kids
were
succeeding
like
they
never
have
before,
and
it
was
phenomenal
and
it
was
because
she
put
those
kids
first
and
what
their
needs
first
and
it
was
super
exciting
to
see
so
Julie
I
am
so
excited
tonight
to
recognize
you
as
our
excellence
in
teaching
history
Award
for
Clay
County
this
year.
D
D
A
D
Talked
about
losing
your
pets
in
a
hurry,
miss
bolos,
it
they're
all
gone
except
we
do
have
the
lawyer
list
here:
okay,
okay,
we
we
do
not
have
any
presenters
tonight.
We
do
have
a
school
showcase,
none
other
than
Argyle
elementary
school.
Miss
Angela,
ward
Angela
word
is
the
the
illustrious
principal
and
now
after
she
finishes
I'll,
give
her
a
chance
to
escape.
Okay.
Oh
look
at
those
thumbs
up.
J
All
right,
Nathan
gave
me
a
quick
tutorial
on
this
thing
and
then
Kemp
touched
it.
So
if
it
doesn't
work,
it's
his
fault,
but
anyway
thank
you
tonight
for
inviting
us
to
showcase
our
school
mr.
Davis
and
school
board
members.
It
is
my
honor
to
serve
as
the
principal
of
Argyle
Elementary
I.
Don't
consider
that
a
job.
J
J
So
at
Argyle
we
try
really
hard
to
instill
and
I
did
not.
That
did
not
come
out
right
now
when
I
look
at
it,
wheeze
instill
pride,
and
that
is
our
character
based
program
that
we
work
through
our
students.
All
classrooms
have
an
argyle
pride
poster
that
stands
in
their
room.
The
teachers
teach
it
they
do.
We
do
assemblies
at
the
beginning
and
as
a
result
of
all
of
that,
hard
work
that
our
teachers
and
staff
put
in
from
the
beginning.
We
do
not
have
the
discipline
issues
that
other
schools
might
would
have
I.
J
Think
last
year,
I
looked
at
it.
Yesterday
was
54
referrals
in
the
entire
year,
because
our
teachers
are
instilling
the
pride
and
having
children,
respect
their
school
respect
themselves,
and
so,
as
my
bottom
quote
says
as
a
school,
we
strongly
feel
that
if
we
spend
that
time
building
the
social
and
emotional
parts
we
set
them
up
for
success.
That
was
my
brownie
points
from
Akali,
strengths
and
accomplishments.
The
bottom
part
says
we're
looking
forward
to
our
school
grades.
J
We
were
only
four
points
away
from
an
A
this
past
year
and
today,
if
we
hit
refresh
one
more
time
on
the
FSA
and
I
think
my
refresh
button
is
probably
broke
and
I
said
if
it
comes
out,
while
we're
talking,
that's
gonna,
be
bad
news,
so
we
have
I
ready
results,
that's
what
we
can
go
on
and
if
you
see
at
the
top,
we
had
the
I
ready.
Reading
our
typical
growth
was
a
hundred
and
thirty
six
percent,
and
we
made
a
stretch,
growth
of
forty
two
percent
and
our
fifth
grade
was
the
top.
J
J
J
We
had
150,
we
had
148
and
106
stretch,
so
we
had
three
grade
levels
that
excelled
and
met
their
growth
for
the
year
and
for
those
of
you
who
do
not
understand
I,
ready
or
what
means
that
means
they
made
their
year
growth
and
some
during
the
school
year,
and
then
we
also
have
some
results
for
achieve,
and
you
can
see
there.
We
went
up
at
least
100
plus
points
in
every
grade
level
that
used
achieve
are
all
of
our
data
is
exciting,
but
the
science
data
in
particularly
our
baseline.
J
So
the
way
we
improved
our
teaching
and
learning
we
had
PLC's
last
year
on
small
group
implementation,
we
used
the
PLC's
to
focus
on
data.
We
had
tensed
teachers
who,
on
their
own
participated
in
a
rigor,
is
not
a
four-letter
word
just
to
build
the
beginning.
School
year
we
had
a
meeting
and
everybody
had
a
different
definition
for
rigor.
So
after
we
compiled
as
a
school,
what
rigor
meant
to
argyll,
then
we
went
from
there.
J
The
next
one
was
placing
teachers
in
the
right
positions,
and
that
was
not
administration
running
in
and
saying
you
will
teach
this.
This
was
talking
to
our
teachers,
of
where
your
skill
sets
are.
So
you
are
the
best
for
your
school
and
moved
several
teachers
so
that
they
could
fit
that
we
work
through
the
content,
focus
that
comes
out
by
mr.
J
Conner,
and
we
would
pass
that
out
to
our
teachers
and
then,
as
we
were
doing
walkthroughs,
if
we
noticed
they
were
ahead
or
behind,
we
would
work
individually
with
those
teachers
to
make
sure
that
they
got
back
onto
the
pacing.
There
was
consistency
among
our
grade
levels
and
we
did
lots
more
data
talks
this
year.
J
These
are
just
some
of
the
ways
that
we
tried
to
build
that
pride
within
our
students
and
our
teachers.
We
have
already
achieved
and
I
mean
I
already
in
achieve
competitions.
They
have
recognition
for
citizenship
with
students,
we
have
recognition
and
classroom
successes
and
the
picture
there
is
Kate
Ray's
class,
and
that
is
the
second
time
she
was
been
recognized
by
achieved
3000
for
her
growth.
So
that
was
a
great
of
course.
We
deal
with
normal
things.
J
The
honor
roll
party
resource
awards
student
ownership
and
we
have
a
teacher
staff
board
and
that
teacher
is
with
me
tonight,
miss
Jess
treaty.
Will
you
stand
wave
something
this
young
lady
took
it
upon
herself
to
help
build
morale.
She
made
a
board
and
our
teachers
lounge
and
every
month
she
updates
it
with
a
different
theme
and
a
different
cutouts
and
people
write
random
nice
things
about
other
teachers
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
month
she
goes
around
and
blesses
each
of
the
teachers
that
were
written
with
that.
So
she
does
that.
J
In
fact,
I
told
her
I
said
we
got
to
start
working
on
next
year.
I
asked,
could
I
do
the
first
one
and
she
said
no,
no
I.
That
was
my
nice
version.
Parents
in
education
is
our
PTA
and
this
is
the
Argyle
community,
and
this
is
just
what
they
work
on.
Throughout
the
year
we
have
boardwalk
bash,
which
is
in
September
you're,
always
welcome
to
attend.
J
They
do
a
Monster
Mash
at
on
October
31st,
so
the
kids,
because,
if
you've
never
been
to
Argyle,
where
the
from
the
farthest
north
Clay
County
school,
that
you
have
to
go
travel
all
through
Duval
before
you
come
back
into
a
sub
on
clay,
we
are
the
only
large
structure
in
Clay
County
in
our
area,
so
we
don't
have
lots
of
opportunities
to
go
out
into
the
community.
We
have
to
bring
the
community
to
us,
so
we
are
the
hub
of
the
community
and
a
hardship.
J
Sometimes
are
the
half
days
the
early
release
days,
so
our
PI's
try
to
do
either
socials
or
all
you
have
to
do-
is
turn
music
on
and
have
popcorn
and
those
kids
love
it.
So
we
try
to
do
that
as
often
as
possible.
We
also
hi
military,
so
we
recognize
our
military
families
when
they
come
and
go
and
did
polo
and
that
if
you,
if
you
ever
watched
a
Publix
commercial
and
cry,
that's
what
it's
like
watching
the
kids,
because
they
like
to
Surprise
them
and
it's
just
as
good
night.
J
We
have
family
nights,
we
have
steamed
night,
we
have
book
fairs
and
our
girls,
Girl
Scouts
and
Boy
Scouts
meet
with
us
at
our
school
and
I
put
this
slide
in
here,
because
this
is
an
activity
or
a
project
that
our
local
Girl
Scouts
are
actually
working
on.
If
you
have
ever
worked
at
Argyle
or
you've
ever
even
talked
to
me
about
Argyle,
you
know
about
the
tree.
I
know
dug
an
amen
back
here,
so
the
tree
is
the
meeting
place.
J
That's
where
we're
gonna
meet
and
take
care
of
whatever
we
didn't
agree
agree
on
during
school.
So
our
Girl
Scouts
came
to
me
and
said:
if
we
call
Clay
County
Sheriff's
and
we
with
somebody,
will
you
stay
with
us
and
help
explain
so,
of
course,
I
cannot
I
mean
I,
can't
deny
Girl
Scout,
cookies
and
I
can't
deny
helping
a
little
Girl
Scouts.
So
we
stayed
and
we
got
all
the
data
ready
for
them,
and
then
those
young
ladies
went
to
each
homeowners
association
meeting
and
presented
to
them
so
that
they
could
help
designate.
J
K
J
J
Eggs-
and
these
are
just
our
extra
opportunities
and
there's
a
most
common
in
every
school
robotics
and
drama
and
Safety
Patrol.
We
have
pioneer
helpers
and
my
teacher
that
runs.
That
is
also
with
us,
Miss
Jessica
Ayers,
and
that's
a
little
spin
on.
So
she
takes
applications
and
takes
about
40
students
and
those
students
are
teacher
helpers.
J
They
either
come
early
in
the
morning
and
help
teachers
get
ready
for
the
day
or
they
stay
later
in
the
afternoon
or
they're
on
the
news
crew,
or
they
might
be
the
ones
helping
us
with
walking
the
little
ones
to
the
parent
pickup.
So
she
does
an
excellent
job
of
corralling
them
up
and
getting
them
to
work
and
then
areas
of
opportunities
for
Argyle.
We
don't
have
our
scores
yet.
So
this
is
just
going
off
of
the
data
that
we
have
looked
at
through
I
ready.
J
We
certainly
need
to
continue
working
on
ela
proficiency
and
learning
gains.
We're
excited
that
we
get
the
laughs
program
from
second
grade
through
six
from
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
We're
gonna
look
at
gains
in
our
lowest
quartile
in
math.
We
are
a
100
percent,
school-wide
Eureka,
that's
new
for
this
coming
year,
we're
going
to
continue
working
with
small
groups,
implementation
and
data
talks
and
and
discussing
high
quality
material
that
stuck
in
front
of
students
and
then
we're
also
wanting
to
increase
our
parent
involvement.
So
in
a
nutshell,
that
is
Argyle
Elementary.
G
D
D
D
G
G
G
And
and
through
the
chair,
I'm
gonna
have
to
get
some
of
those
stories,
mr.
Bullock,
but
nonetheless
miss
Ward.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership.
We
appreciate
you
and
what
you're
doing
at
our
going
on
your
teams
here.
Thank
you
all
for
as
well
miss
Dixon
and
welcome
aboard,
and
we
know
you
did
great
things.
There
you're
great
things
here,
so
I
look
forward
to
a
great
2019
2020
school
year.
So
thank.

A

M
Bergner
10
of
those
from
mr.
otto
when
I
read
the
topic,
one
of
them
looks
like
it
has
something
to
do
with
donating
money
to
the
fairgrounds
from
the
County
Commission.
The
other
looks
like
it
has
to
do
with
public
dumping
and
toxic
waste,
both
of
which
those
things
look
like
they
should
go
before
the
County
Commission.
They
have
nothing
to
do
with
anything
on
our
agenda.
So
that's
why
I
wrote
County
Commission
question.
A
N
D
D
Wait.
Excuse
me
not
you
yet.
Okay
on
public
comments.
Mr.
otto
James
I
do
miss
Toronto.
You
filled
out
four
cards
on
items
that
are
related.
It
looks
like
to
County
Commission
business,
which
has
nothing
to
do
with
us.
So
if
you
would
be
so
kind
as
to
just
kind
of
combine
what
you
wanted
to
say
into
one
three-minute
topic,
because
we
don't
have
anything
to
do
but
toxic
dumping
and
I.
O
D
N
All
right,
thank
you.
Yes,
ma'am
I
can
clarify
that
stuff.
I
apologize.
Your
cards
are
a
little
more
to
do
than
the
county.
Commissioner
said.
I
was
a
little
confused
on
still
confused
on
how
to
exactly
get
filled
out.
But
that's
okay,
you
know
I,
would
appreciate
you
know,
encouraging
the
citizenry
to
stay
here.
Instead
of
you
know,
pushing
them
out
the
door
I'd
like
them
to
be
encouraged
to.
N
You
yes
ma'am
I
understand,
so
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
say
is:
you
know:
Rollins
kicked
me
out
of
a
public
meeting
at
the
Board
of
County,
Commissioners
and
I.
Appreciate
y'all,
not
kicking
me
out
here.
I
go
to
a
lot
of
meetings
and
they're
open
to
the
public
and
you
should
be
able
to
come
and
speak
and
not
be
bullied
around.
So
I
appreciate
that
by
the
board
2020
mr.
Davis
2020.
N
N
If
people
please
look
into
that
reference
to
the
fairgrounds,
we
don't
need
to
spend
$500,000
off
Fairgrounds
one
the
streets
for
our
school
buses
are
the
way
they
are
and
other
issues
in
this
county.
The
toxic
dumping
issues
like
easy
bass,
where
the
ladies
on
YouTube
saying
that
our
child
sick-
and
you
know
when
you
get
to
the
bottom
of
this,
we
had
a
business
dumping
on
art
on
top
of
our
aquifers,
chemical
waste
and
the
Board
of
County.
N
Commissioners
needs
to
bring
this
to
the
forefront,
and
these
are
our
kids
that
are
drinking
this
water
bathing
in
it,
and
you
know
they
had
to
approve
alcohol
just
to
get
money
into
the
fairgrounds.
So
I
would
say
just
strike
that
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
issues.
Green,
Cove
Springs
is
a
beautiful
place
and
it's
being
taught
to
Eric.
You
know
it's
not
looking
good
in
the
paper
right
now
and
that's
unfortunate.
We
got
green,
we
got
the
spring
there.
N
The
pool
the
volleyball
court
and
all
that
we
need
a
set
of
good
light,
not
bad
light
on
this
county
likes
been
done
right
and
recently.
So
I
just
has
people
to
look
for
that
book
about
the
kids.
They
got
cancer
from
chemical
dumping
and
ask
yourself:
do
we
really
need
to
spend
a
half
a
million
dollars
on
a
fairground
when
we
got
this
chemical
dumping
in
Clay,
County
and
you'd
have
to
tell
yourself
now
we
really
don't.
We
need
to
fix
this
dumping
problem.
N
N
N
A
D
D
A
D
P
P
I'm,
sorry,
and
on
the
discussion
agenda,
if
I
should
wait
for
those
comments
or
present
my
thoughts
now
go
ahead.
Okay,
okay,
well,
I
really
wanted
to
talk
about
the
issue
of
the
the
vote.
That's
going
to
take
place
tonight
on
whether
to
put
the
the
tax
referendum
on
the
ballot
and
I've
had
a
lot
of
deep
thought
about
it
and
tried
to
understand
it,
and
let's
face
it,
no
one
likes
taxes.
No
one
does.
However,
they
are
a
manner
in
which
we
pay
for
our
public
services.
P
These
services
that
that
we
all
enjoy
as
a
community
taxes
pay
for
our
roads,
our
infrastructure,
our
police
and
other
emergency
services.
They
provide
a
means
to
keep
us
safe,
healthy
and,
yes,
they
pay
for
public
education
of
our
citizens.
Without
taxes
we
would
all
face
the
lack
of
these
services
and
the
obliteration
of
our
community.
P
As
we
know
it
now,
like
you,
I'm
sure,
I've
reviewed
the
budget
I've
looked
at
it
and
I've,
also,
along
with
that,
looked
and
considered
the
fact
that
our
Florida
Legislature
has
continued
to
chip
away
at
the
contributions
to
our
local
public
school
systems,
which
educate.
Ninety
percent
of
our
students.
They
continue
to
mandate,
unfunded
or
underfunded.
P
P
Not
just
for
some
of
our
children,
though,
for
all
of
our
children.
They
all
deserve
to
be
educated
in
buildings
that
are
safe
and
sound.
I
find
myself
very
frustrated
by
the
sight
of
unnecessary
beautiful
charter
school
buildings
paid
for
out
of
public
funds
for
a
relatively
few
number
of
students,
while
the
majority
of
our
students
sit
in
aging
buildings,
with
ceilings
falling
in
and
then
I
hear
questions
like.
Why
would
these
repairs
not
budgeted
for?
Well?
Maybe
because
there
was
not
adequate
funds
to
make
these
repairs?
P
Maybe
past
administrations
kick
the
can
down
the
road?
Maybe
impact
fees
and
merges
were
not
properly
imposed
due
to
the
few
votes
that
they
might
have
cost.
Some
of
our
elected
officials,
apparently
for
some
reelection,
is
more
important
than
the
needs
of
our
children.
I
also
read
many
blogs
varying
opinions,
most
of
which
are
found
to
be
loud.
P
Obnoxious,
exaggerations,
pummeled,
with
inaccuracies,
half-truths
and
downright
lies,
and
some
I
mean
where,
in
the
county,
do
our
students
pay
$25
for
a
locker
key
fefe
I
can't
leave
some
of
this
stuff
and
I
can't
believe
that
people
believe
some
of
this
stuff.
Yet
it's
often
these
loud
obnoxious
exaggerations
that
get
the
attention
as
this
type
of
manipulative
sensationalism,
entices
people
to
jump
on
a
boat
going.
P
As
a
30
year,
employee
of
Clay
County
school
system,
a
citizen
of
this
county
for
more
than
50
years,
an
active
and
engaged
voter,
a
tax
payer,
a
homeowner
and
an
additional
property
owner,
a
grandmother,
a
mother
and
a
great-grandmother
of
students
who
have
been
and
continue
to
be
provided
an
exceptional
education
within
the
walls
of
Clay
County,
Public,
Schools,
I
implore.
You
do
what's
right
for
the
students
of
the
Clay
County
public
school
system.
P
Again.
I
hear
all
the
wrong
believes
that
public
education
is
failing
our
students,
but
I'll
tell
you
adamantly
I,
do
not
agree.
Public
schools
are
not
failing
our
students.
A
state
government
that
refuses
to
provide
for
the
needs
of
the
public
schools
are
failing
our
students,
taxpayers
that
balk
at
the
thought
of
paying
a
half
cent
sales
tax.
P
Homeowners
that
do
not
understand
that
their
property
values
are
directly
affected
by
the
quality
of
the
public.
Schools
surrounding
them
are
failing
our
students
community
members
that
want
to
keep
their
heads
in
the
sand,
thinking
that
they
can
prevent
our
sleepy
community
from
growing
by
discouraging
taxes
to
provide
for
the
children
or
failing
our
students.
All
this
to
save
a
few
bucks,
and
until
we
recognize
these
is
juice
and
determined
to
change
them
will
continue.
P
This
is
not
a
Republican
or
Democrat
issue.
This
is
not
a
religious
right
issue.
This
is
not
a
policy
issue
and
it's
not
a
matter
of
poor
budgeting
on
our
current
school
boards
part.
This
is
a
question
of
being
able
to
continue
to
provide
for
the
basic
human
right
of
a
quality
public
education,
a
safe
quality
public
education
for
every
child
in
Clay
County.
P
As
the
elected
school
board
members
members
who
have
all
sworn
an
oath
to
perform
your
school
board
duties
in
the
best
interest
of
Clay
County
public
school
children
today,
you'll
decide
if
Clay
County,
Public
Schools
will
be
able
to
continue
being
at
the
top
of
the
school
system
in
the
state.
You
should
make
that
decision
based
solely
and
completely
on
your
belief,
your
knowledge
and
your
understands
of
what
the
needs
of
this
county
and
its
public
school
system
are.
P
After
watching
the
agenda
review,
as
well
as
being
present
at
the
last
school
board,
meeting
I've
heard
all
of
you
all
five
agree
that
a
half
cent
sales
tax
is
needed.
The
only
question
that
was
what
was
when
to
place
it
on
the
ballot
due
to
legislative
changes.
You
know
that
if
it's
not
done
now,
it'll
have
to
wait
until
November
20
20
foot
in
Clay
County
behind
the
eight-ball.
P
Getting
things
done
honestly,
though,
the
reason
some
of
you
are
hesitant
is
because
you've
heard
complaints
from
some
of
your
voting
constituents
that
want
it
pushed
to
2020,
let's
be
even
more
honest
and
I'm
gonna,
be
really
blunt.
Let's
talk
about
the
intent
you
and
I
both
know.
Truly,
it's
not
because
they
think
the
general
election
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
voters.
It's
certainly
not
because
they
think
that
waiting
until
2020
is
gonna,
be
both
for
the
public
school
students
in
Clay
County.
In
reality,
it's
because
they
hope
that
it
will
fail.
P
There's
a
small
but
vocal
section
of
citizens
who
hate
everything
about
Clay
County,
Public
Schools.
They
have
no
interest
in
contributing
to
the
quality
education
of
clay,
County's,
public
school
students,
again
90
percent
of
the
students
that
are
educated.
In
essence,
they
want
the
public
school
system
to
fail,
but
if
this
is
indeed
an
urgent
need,
as
all
five
of
you
have
said,
why
wait
is
it
to
appease
that
small
percentage
of
your
voters?
P
P
G
For
my
summer,
gift
to
the
board
and
everybody
else
watching
this
month,
I'm
going
to
defer
my
time
too
to
dr.
Kemp,
who
will
speak
a
little
bit
to
one
of
the
gen
and
discussion,
but
nonetheless
than
when
I
can
graduate
all
the
congratulate
all
the
retirees
who
had
over
2000
years
of
experience.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
efforts
to
our
children.
We
will
miss
you.
The
door
will
always
be
open
to
you.
G
In
addition,
congratulations
to
the
five
individuals
who
were
selected
and
identified
as
the
social
studies
teachers
a
year
and,
lastly,
Congrats
to
all
of
the
the
graduates
know
that
we
care
for
you.
This
do
what
we
will
always
be
there
to
support
you
as
well.
If
you
need
us
we're
only
a
phone
call
away
so
there
it
is
Hey.
D
Ok.
Now
we
were
moved
to
the
discussion
agenda.
The
I
do
have
11
cards
on
this,
but
before
I
recognize
these
cards,
I
have
asked
dr.,
Kemp
and
doctor
and
that
doctor
got
to
go
to
make
a
presentation
to
kind
of
set
the
stage
and
so
I
believe
that
we
look
like
oh
you're
going
first.
This
is
our
assistant
superintendent
for
finance
and
then
she'll
be
followed
by
Michael.
G
D
Q
My
presentation
is
really
going
to
go
over
the
differences
between
our
operating
fund
and
our
capital
fund,
but
I'm
going
to
really
speak
about
our
budget,
a
Reader's
Digest
version
of
just
the
two
funds,
but
I
am
going
to
say
a
preface.
All
of
my
information
that
I
present
today
is
that
everything
is
tentative.
Q
Nothing
is
final
at
this
point
because
we're
still
closing
our
books,
we're
still
trying
to
you,
know
finalize
the
budget,
but
pretty
much
the
capital
and
the
operating
the
numbers
that
I'm
going
to
present
a
pretty
fair
to
what
we
believe
it
will
be
at
the
tentative
budget
on
July
23rd,
okay,
all
right.
So
what
I
wanted
to
say,
of
course,
is
we
have
four
major
funds
that
actually
represent
our
overall
budget.
Q
Our
total
estimated
budget
for
our
operating
funds,
which
again
our
operating
fund,
is
the
primary
fund
that
accounts
for
all
of
our
financial
resources
of
the
school
district,
except
those
required
to
be
accounted
for
in
another
account,
for
example,
our
debt
service.
It
is
specific
we
are
required
to
budget
for
debt
service,
though
the
debt
service
fund
is
primary.
We
used
to
repay
debt
on
borrowing
related
to
our
construction
or
our
capital
expenditures.
Q
Capital
projects,
of
course,
are
the
major
governmental
fund
that
accounts
for
the
acquisition
and
construction
of
major
capital
facilities,
maintenance
of
Phylis
maintenance
of
our
facilities
and
pretty
much
equipment
purchases
and
other
capital
assets.
Just
so
you
know,
with
our
florida
school
finance
statute
statutorily,
we
are
required
to
budget
certain
funds
in
certain
budget
for
certain
expenditures
in
restricted
type
of
funds.
Capital
funds
is
one
of
those
where
we
are
only.
We
can
only
spend
those
dollars
for
certain
items.
Q
General
fund,
you
can
spend
it
on
pretty
much
everything
that
related
to
education
or
instructional
or
operating
the
school
system,
but
capital
you've
got
to
spend
it
on
capital
projects
and
equipment
and
is
very
specific
okay.
So
let
me
just
talk
about
a
little
bit
about
our
general
fund.
Our
total
estimated
budget
for
next
year
is
approximately
299
million
dollars
of
that
299
million
dollars.
234
million
represents
our
Fe
FP
f.
Ef
P
is
Florida
Education
Finance
program.
Those
are
the
dollars
that
we
received
from
the
state
to
fund
education.
Q
In
addition
to
that,
we
receive,
we
are
required
to
levy
X
amount
of
dollars.
It's
called
our
required
local
effort
in
that
it's
about
55
point
1
million
dollars
that
we
will
levy
for
potentially
next
year
for
for
for
the
general
fund.
In
addition
to
those
two
numbers,
there's
10
million
dollars,
that's
local
miscellaneous
revenue.
Q
What
represents
that?
It's
about
interest
in
direct
cost
pre-k
our
best
and
brightest,
that
is
recorded
in
our
miscellaneous
revenue.
It's
not
part
of
our
your
general
fund,
it's
part
of
our
miscellaneous
dollars
and
that's
about
four
million
dollars
and
that's
restricted.
As
you
know,
best
and
brightest
is
specific
for
a
particular
purpose.
Q
This
year,
the
district
stands
to
receive.
Approximately
288
million,
which
is
approximate,
is
about
eight
point,
five
million
dollars
more
than
last
year.
That
is
not
significant
to
to
take
into
consideration
any
increases
to
utilities
to
general
operating
increases.
It's
about
eight
point:
five
million;
okay,
our
that
equates
to
about
per
student
funding
of
seven
thousand
five
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars
per
student
and
about
a
$75
more
per
student
from
last
year
in
our
BSA
we're
receiving
about
seventy
five
dollars
more.
In
addition
to
what
we
received
last
year,.
D
Little
girl,
let
me
interrupt
this
because
I
want
to
emphasize
that,
because,
as
Miss
Dixon
referred
to
some
of
the
comments
that
have
been
made
on
some
of
the
social
media
pages
for
some
reason,
there's
thinking
that
we
have
received
two
hundred
and
forty
seven
dollars
per
student
and
you're
saying
it's
seventy-five
dollars
and
I
believe
use
Tony,
seven
cents.
Yes,.
D
Was
right,
and
so
you
know
I,
don't
know
where
these
numbers
come
from,
but
you
have
the
numbers
and
you
are
on
finesse
person.
The
numbers
from
Tallahassee
say:
I
just
want
people
to
understand
that,
just
because
you
read
it
on
Facebook.
Does
that
make
it
the
truth?
If
they
have
a
question
about
how
much
we
are
receiving,
they
need
to
call
you.
Okay,.
D
Q
D
Q
Q
No
you're
fine!
Thank
you.
Okay.
So
again,
this
is
pertaining
to
our
general
fund.
Missy
state
funding,
categoricals.
In
addition
to
that,
two
hundred
and
not
in
addition,
part
of
the
299
million
I,
wanted
to
stress
that
a
lot
of
these
dollars
that
we
do
receive
and
may
seem
to
be
quite
a
bit.
However,
part
of
approximately
sixty
eight
million
of
those
dollars
are
considered
as
categoricals.
Q
What
that
means
is
that
those
funds
are
specific
for
a
purpose
just
like
they
said
about
the
general,
the
miscellaneous
revenue
such
as
best
and
brightest,
which
is
specific
for
a
the
for
specific
specific
for
a
reason
to
be
spent.
You
know
there
are
some
some
other
areas
that
we
are
required
to
spend
our
dollars,
such
as
safe
school,
safe
schools.
We
must
spend
it
on
certain
expenditures,
that's
related
to
safe
schools,
our
instructional
materials.
We
can
only
spend
those
dollars
on
purchasing
books,
materials
for
the
classroom,
instructional
materials
for
the
classroom.
Q
Teach
a
lead,
as
you
know,
that's
our
supply
dollars.
Those
dollars
are
specific
for
classroom
supplies
for
our
teachers
and
it
goes
directly
to
our
teachers
to
purchase
those
supplies
and
I
think
that's
about
it.
Okay,
I
just
wanted
to
bring
out
those
types
of
thing
and
of
course,
you'll
hear
all
this
at
my
July
23rd
tentative
budget
meeting,
so
I'll
go
into
more
detail
with
that
and
as
far
as
the
other
funds
I'll
say
debt
service,
we
will
spend
about
five
million
next
year
to
repay
our
debt
capital
projects.
Q
K
Q
Okay,
now
the
net
did
I
miss
something:
okay,
okay,
so
again,
I
wanted
to
dive
into
the
use
of
our
funds.
The
general
fund,
primarily
the
majority
of
funds
as
one
of
the
largest
employer
in
Clay
County,
the
majority
of
our
funds
targeted
towards
compensation
to
our
employees.
As
you
can
see,
eighty-one
percent
of
those
dollars
go
to
what
salaries
and
benefits
ten
percent
of
those
dollars
go
to
purchase
services
purchase
services
are
categorized
as
professional
services,
contracts,
travel
repairs,
rental,
communications
and
charters
charter,
schools,
doctors.
S
J
S
A
Q
Q
Q
Okay,
I'm,
sorry,
no
I,
okay,
again
purchase
services,
that's
about
thirty
two
million
dollars
and
it
goes
to
contract
professional
service
contracts,
regular
contracts,
travel
repairs,
rental
communication,
everything
you
can
think
of
that
we
need
are
funds
to
operate
energy
services.
Of
course,
that's
about
nine
point,
two
million,
which
is
three
percent
of
the
total
budget,
and
of
that
7.8
million
represents
our
electricity
heating
oil.
Diesel
fuel
gasoline
is
about
1.3
million.
So
again,
these
are
all
estimated
numbers
at
this
time.
Q
I
want
to
reiterate
that
materials
and
supplies
includes
about
eight
point:
seven
million
in
adopted
textbooks,
five
point:
seven
million
in
repairs,
parts
tires
tubes
and,
let's
see
no
I'm,
sorry
let
me
go
back.
My
materials
and
supplies
includes
about
eight
point:
seven
million
for
materials
and
supplies
our
adopted
textbooks
are
considered
as
part
of
materials
and
supplies.
So
that's
about
eight
point:
seven
million
repairs
tires
tubes,
so
those
things
are
about
nine
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Q
There's
a
lot
of
other
things
detail
and
if
they're,
if
there's
an,
if
you
all,
would
like
to
get
more
detailed
information,
I'll
be
happy
to
share
that
with
you.
I
can
provide
that
to
you.
Our
capital
outlay
is
about
four
point:
nine
million,
which
represents
about
two
percent
of
the
overall
budget,
and
that
includes
library,
books,
AV,
building
and
fixed
equipment,
motor
vehicles
and,
of
course,
our
litigation.
We
are
required
to
budget
for
litigation,
it's
about
a
million
dollars
and
it
represents
about
one
percent
of
our
budget.
Q
Oh
can
I
move
on
okay,
okay,
okay,
now
part
of
our
general
fund
is
the
one
mill,
but
it's
not
represented
in
the
to
the.
That
number
is
not
represented
in
the
total
revenue
of
the
299.
This
is
totally
separate
from
our
regular
revenue.
So
our
one
mill
you,
which
is
a
general
fund
dollars,
is
primarily
going
to
be
used
for
safety
and
security.
As
you
can
see,
51%
of
those
dollars
will
go
directly
to
the
police
department.
Q
Q
And
our
total
projected
revenue
will
be
about
12
point:
1
million
dollars;
okay,
okay,
our
use
of
capital
funds
again
trim
requires
that
the
district
advertise
a
notice
of
tax
for
capital
outlay,
so
funds
that
are
generated
through
the
capital
must
be
recognized
through
the
trim
process.
Truth
in
millage,
so
we
will
be
advertising
how
we're
going
to
spend
those
dollars.
Q
Primarily,
it
provides
for
the
complete
listing
of
projects
to
be
funded
and
they
are
restricted
to
capital
projects,
as
defined
by
our
statue.
Allowable
expenditures
are
advertised
as
required,
which
includes
again
our
debt
of
about
five
five
million
yeah
about
five
point,
one
which
is
which
capital
contributes
about
2.4
million
of
the
of
those
dollars.
Sorry,
that
service
is
12%.
Q
It's
a
repayment
of
the
cops
issue
for
Lake
Asbury,
Junior,
Fleming,
Island,
High,
School
and
Oakleaf
High
School
our
leases.
We
have
several
leases
in
our
that
we
are
required
to
continue
to
pay
and
then,
of
course
we
we
do
me.
We
have
a
school
bus
lease
about
nine.
Nine
percent
will
go
towards
Lisa's
district-wide
capital
equipment,
which
is
about
one
percent.
Q
It's
it's
just
it's
dollars
that
are
used
to
pert
to
support
our
leases
for
copying
machines,
radio,
purchase,
radio
purchases,
computers,
Chromebooks
those
types
of
things
that
we
place
in
the
classroom,
our
property
and
casualty
insurance
statutorily.
We
are
allowed
to
pay
for
those
for
that
expense
out
of
our
capital
budget,
and
it's
about
1.1
million
for
next
year
projected
our
technology.
We
do
use
our
capital
dollars
for,
of
course,
that
is
about
1.7
million
of
which
is
there
arm.
Our
BCC
is
constant.
Q
So
it's
sort
of
restricted
directly
for
that
our
school
wide
facility
projects,
which
is
about
10.5
million.
It
includes
some
of
the
safety
hardening
of
schools
dollars
and
again
you
will
see
that
project
list
when
it's
ready
to
be
written
and
will
be
presented
at
the
July
23rd
meeting
and
then
finally,
I
put
it
I
put
this
kind
of
summary
of
operating
versus
capital
funds,
our
general
fund.
Q
Our
LCIF,
which
is
local
capital
improvement.
That's
1.5
old
mills.
The
statutory
authority
is
section
101,
1.71
its
legislature
and
required
to
be
approved
by
the
board
and
that's
estimated
to
generate
about
18
point
1
million,
and
we
are
going
to
use
just
it's
strictly
for
fixed
capital
improvements
and
additions.
Q
Q
We
have
typically
received
Pico
dollars
and-
and
the
legislature
provides
those
dollars
for
us
for
next
year
they
have
decided
to
cut
us
a
hundred
percent,
so
we
will
receive
zero
dollars
for
maintenance
and
repeat
renovations
and
that
those
dollars
are
strictly
for
maintenance,
renovations
and
repairs,
and
we
have
zero
dollars
this
year
and
we
typically
receive
about
a
million
dollars
in
that
fund.
I
think.
Q
And,
of
course,
I
might
place
the
sales
tax
there
just
so
we
can
get
a
feel,
for
it
will
be
capital,
it
is
strictly
for
capital
purchases,
it
is
through
a
referendum,
and
the
expected
amount
to
generate
is
about
13.5
million
dollars
in
it's
strictly
for
fixed
capital,
cost
for
construction,
reconstruction
improvement
and
technology,
and
then,
of
course,
our
BCC
sales
tax
that
we
do
receive.
It's
about.
1.7
million
I
believe
this
was
voted
many
years
ago
through
a
referendum
and
through
the
BCC,
and
it
will
it
start.
Q
This
tri-county
has
targeted
those
funds
specifically
for
our
technology
purchase.
It
is
why
we're
able
to
put
some
of
our
Chromebooks
into
the
classrooms
purchase.
You
know,
and
some
of
the
software
that's
out
there
in
the
classrooms,
for
our
students
and
with
that
I
am
done.
Unless
you
all
have
questions
the.
O
O
A
D
A
Q
B
Evening,
madam
chair
board,
members
I'm
superintendent,
okay,
the
first
thing
I
want
to
do
because
I
really
don't
get
an
opportunity
to
do
it
very
much
is
to
actually
recognize
I'm,
not
our
team.
The
operations
team,
I'm
gonna
start
our
slide.
Going
back,
going
back,
I'm
gonna
start
the
deck
going
back
to
2017
and
it's
kind
of
preface
what
we're
doing,
but
is.
This
is
a
collective
effort
all
the
time
everyday.
It's
a
collective
effort.
They've
had
the
opportunity
to
work
to
serve
with
me
now
since
2017
and
we've
had
it.
B
We've
had
a
great
opportunity
to
learn,
but
I
want
to
introduce
them
and
I
want
to
thank
them
publicly,
because
we
don't
get
a
chance
to
do
what
do
that
on
a
regular
basis
and
what
they
accomplish.
What
they
accomplish
on
a
daily
basis,
with
the
challenges
that
they
face
is
amazing
and
they
do
it.
They
do
it
willingly.
They
do
it
without
without
fail,
and
we
figure
out
ways
to
make
that
work.
But
I
do
want
to
introduce
the
copper
relations
team
because
they're
a
critical
part
we're
always
in
this
together.
B
First
of
all,
direct
our
directive.
One
for
maintenance
is
mr.
Phil
Hans.
He
does
an
outstanding
job.
Thank
You
mr.
Hans,
our
director
of
code
enforcement,
mr.
Todd,
sweat,
Lenoir.
He
handles
all
the
safety
security.
All
our
code
issues,
Thank
You
Todd,
one
of
our
senior
project
managers,
miss
Brice
Ellis,
who
helps
us
with
the
facilities
project
planning
one
of
our
newest
project
managers.
Mr.
Jeff
marks.
That's
helping
us
to
try
to
execute
some
of
the
projects
that
work
we
can
get
done,
are
coordinated
for
planning
planning
and
intergovernmental
coordination.
That
y'all
seen.
Mr.

fossa
he's
done
a
lot
of
the
growth
presentations,
but
that's
mr.
Jim

and
bless
his
heart.
That's
mr.
Darryl,

transportation,
and
he
has
a
great
opportunity
to
serve
every
day
and

services
and
she
they
worked
on,
but
all
of
them
work
diligently
every
day
against
unbelievable
odds
and
and
I
want
to
publicly
thank
them
for
what
they
do
every
day
and
because
you
you're
the
ones
making
the
difference
make
the
stakeholders
make
it
make
it
work
in
the
schools.
B
All
right
so
I'm
gonna
get
right
on
it.
You
guys
know
I'm,
not
shy.
You
have
heard
me
talk
before
you've
heard
me
here
in
the
workshops.
This
is
my
opportunity
to
to
tell
you
a
few
things
in
my
first
two
and
a
half
years
here.
So
let's
go
back
to
2017
upon
my
arrival
of
February
2017
I'm,
going
to
I
want
to
preface
this
with
saying.
B
I
was
shocked
when
I
came
in
and
in
kind
of
a
disbeliever
and
not
in
and
not
in
the
way
that
you
might
think
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
in
different
places,
have
an
opportunity
to
serve
in
different
organizations
and
run
different
ways,
but
I
was
really
shocked
and
in
disbelief.
Regarding
some
of
the
issues
and
the
challenges
that
we
were
facing,
we
went
through
about
a
three
month
period
and
y'all.
Can
you
cannot?
We
went
through
about
a
three
four
month
period.
B
Where
was
I
helped
me
understand,
help
Mike
under
help
Mike
Kemp
helped
me
understand.
What's
going
on
with
that?
Why
do
we
not
have
the
capacity
to
do?
We
need
to
do
what
we,
what
stood
in
with
the
funding?
How
did
the
conditions?
How
did
the
facility
condition
get
to
this
point?
Those
were
issues
that
we
we
had
honest
converse
is
about.
We
call
it
scrimmaging
in
operations
we
scrimmage
all
the
times
to
find
out
what
we
got
to
do
to
get
a
solution.
B
We
talked
about
operational
capacity
and
when
you
learn
things
in
the
first
three
months,
for
example,
we're
operating
with
the
same
team,
same
number
of
team.
Now
with
43
schools
and
50
facilities,
support
in
central
office
and
ancillary
forces,
the
same
number
of
team.
Now,
then
we
have,
we
had
20
schools,
so
the
system
has
doubled
with
growth
in
time
and
and
but
the
support
for
that
has
never
happened.
So
I
really
wasn't
shocked
in
disbelief.
B
Now,
when
you
work
with
for
a
guy
like
Addison
Davis,
the
superintendent
immediately
charged
us
with
the
and
the
team
in
task
and
task
us
with
the
needs,
as
he
went
out
and
looked
to
schools,
he'd
call
me
and
say:
Kim,
you
know
what's
going
on,
can't
what
we
had
in
the
world.
Did
this
happen?
Kim,
so
of
course
that
translates
to
the
operations
team.
B
So
you
know
he
charged
us
with
looking
at
the
needs
and
creating
a
needs
assessment
and
what's
the
plan
he
always
asked
to
question
it
doesn't
matter
whether
it's
finance
HR
curriculum
instruction,
climate
culture,
whatever
he
always
had
number
one?
What
is
needed?
What
do
we
got
to
do?
What's
the
strategy
to
fix
it,
how
do
we
begin
to
reverse
it
so
immediately
and
20?
This
is
all
the
way
back
in
2017
now
2017.
B
We
immediately
started
looking
at
the
needs
assessment
for
the
school,
but
I
can't
I
can't
tell
you
and
emphasize
enough
I
want
to
say,
forget
Houston
for
a
second
when
it
comes
to
the
facade,
the
facilities
and
what
we're
dealing
with
on
a
daily
basis.
Clay
has
a
problem,
and
then
no
one's
been
shy
about
saying
that
all
along
I
mean
this
is
this
is
not
something
that's
happened
overnight.
This
has
happened
over
time.
We
have
had
deferred
maintenance
issues,
you're
talking
about
old,
outdated
facilities.
They
absolutely
have
to
be
renovated
and
upgraded.
B
Now,
I'm
going
to
talk
more
a
bit
about
how
we
came
up
with
the
300
million
dollars
in
the
master
plan
project,
but
we
have
approximately
300
million
at
318
million
dollars
an
identified
need
as
of
right.
Now
that
is
subject
to
change
every
day,
because
every
day
something
breaks
every
day
our
average
facility
ages
practicing
with
38
years
old,
unique.
Oh,
that's,
not
bad!
You
don't
think,
but
remember:
we've
got
some
approach
in
91,
I!
Think
Orange.
B
Park
Elementary
is
91
years
old
this
year,
25%
of
the
schools
that
we're
trying
to
support
every
day
or
fifty
years
or
older,
think
about
that
original
stuff,
never
been
when
there's
never
any
preventive
or
replacement
cycles,
because
the
funding
just
was
never
there
to
do
that.
So
the
deferred
maintenance
over
tom
has
just
compounded
the
problem.
So
you
heard
dr.
legato
talk
about
the
funding
and
our
restrictions
on
funding.
We've
had
state
funding
cuts
over
time.
We
used
to
get
picot
new
growth
money
we're
used
to
getting
around
2008.
B
They
cut
that
to
eight
seven
eight
was
the
last
year
we
got
it
cut
it
to
zero.
You
heard
her
say
and
I
learned
at
the
last
workshop.
If
you
saw
my
face
I'm
not
responsible
for
what
my
face
does.
Sometimes,
when
people
talk
but
I
can
tell
you
20,
you
know
they
cut
us
to
zero.
Last
year
we
got
eight
hundred
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
in
picot
maintenance.
The
state
cut
us
to
zero
that
eight
hundred
fifty
five
thousand
dollars
divided
over
our
schools
is
about
seventeen
thousand
dollars
per
school.
B
If,
if
we
everything
broke
equally
now
a
school
like
lemon
island
uses
that
and
toilet
paper
every
year,
so
think
about
seventeen
thousand
dollars
per
school
for
it
for
the
maintenance.
Now
now
our
director,
mr.
pond
testa,
we
had
to
go
back
and
look
and
see
what
projects
have
to
be
cut
or
bumped
again
this
year
to
make
up
for
the
loss
of
funding
impact
fees,
are
low,
people
think
oh
gosh.
We
have
impact
fees,
impact
fees
are
restricted
to
new
growth.
You
heard
her
say
could
only
be
used
for
new
growth.
B
We
get
about
five
million
dollars
in
impact
fees,
I'm
going
to
go
over
that
in
a
minute,
I
mean
about
five
million
dollars.
A
year
in
impact
fees,
that's
a
restricted
specifically
for
new
growth.
Portions
of
that
is
used
for
ssin
of
that
G's
for
debt
service
portion.
That
has
to
be
on
new
growth,
local
capital
improvement
fund.
B
She
mentioned
the
approximately
18
million
dollars
this
year
when
you
take
away
the
LCIF
and
all
the
the
reclassification
all
the
things
that
we
have
to
do,
we're
going
to
end
up
with
about
eight
million
dollars
so
to
try
to
support
50
facilities.
That's
about
160
165
thousand
dollars
for
the
year
to
try
to
support
the
school
system
with
the
capital
projects.
So
really
what
I'm
saying
they
didn't
forget?
Houston
clay
has
a
problem.
It's
been
reactionary.
It's
we
were
in
a
reactionary
mode
all
the
time,
because
it's
a
crisis
management
mode.
B
It's
what
broke
today.
Every
morning
at
7:30
a.m.
any
of
you
are
welcome
to
join
me
every
day
at
7:30
a.m.
we
have
stand
up.
They
don't
always
like
it.
We
have
a
stand
up,
I
call
it
a
stand
up
meeting
because
I
know
we
don't
do
meetings.
We
don't
have
time.
We
got
to
work
so
sit.
Stand
up.
Tell
me
what's
wrong:
I
find
out
every
morning
at
7:30
a.m.
what's
what
broke
last
night,
what
chillers
down
what
handlers
down?
What
do
we
got
to
do?
B
What's
the
crisis,
so
you
know
I'm,
gonna
I'm,
going
to
shock
you
here
in
a
minute
with
some
photos,
but
I
just
want
you
to
understand.
This
is
the
challenge
and
the
opportunities
when
I
say
clay
has
a
problem
with
the
existing
facilities.
We
really
do
and
I
understand.
I
have
a
greater
understanding
how
we
got
there
now
other
problems
challenges
opportunities.
What
did
you
ever
like
to
call
them?
We
have
over
900
when
I
got
here
was
nine
hundred
and
eighty
plus
portables
I.
B
Don't
tell
you
about
that.
980
portables,
they're,
inefficient,
unsightly
impossible
to
harden
from
a
safety
perspective.
They're
issues
we'll
talk
more
about
it,
where
we
third
most
in
the
state,
miami-dade
Orange,
County
Orlando,
and
by
the
way
they
have
three
times
four
times
the
student
population,
and
we
have
you,
know
nine,
and
we
had
nine
hundred
eighty
plus
portables
I'll
talk
about
that
concern
in
a
minute.
Do.
B
You
know
the
issue
is
when
you
look
at
Miami,
we
were
second,
we
were
third
miami-dade
was
first
and
Orange.
County
Orlando
was
second
as
a
matter
of
fact.
I
was
speaking
to
a
reporter
who
happened
to
call
after
this
information
got
out,
and
you
know
she
said
she
went
to
Miami
Dade
and
she
spent
her
whole
whole
time
in
portables
in
Miami
Dade.
So
it
is
not
the
most
optimal
situation
for
our
students.
Tom
has
changed.
We
have
to
address
that.
B
You
know,
there's
a
need
for
five
to
seven
schools
in
the
next
next
ten
years,
fifteen
thousand
five
hundred
plus
new
homes
coming
in
in
the
next
ten
six
thousand
six
hundred
students
coming
in
you
know
the
new
growth
is
coming,
so
we
have
those
additional
needs
as
well.
For
a
new
growth,
so
let's
talk
about
reality,
I'm
not
here
to
talk
just
about
Clegg
I
mean
we
have
the
same
challenges.
All
other
districts
face
they're
facing
the
same
thing:
old,
worn
out
facilities
in
need
of
renovation.
B
They
face
the
same
state
cuts
we
fade
face.
You
know
they're
losing
funding
as
well.
Some
of
them
are
facing
new
growth.
I
can
tell
you
we're
projected
to
be
the
number
one
growth,
the
highest
growing
county
in
the
state
in
the
next
five
to
ten
years,
because
of
that
first
coast
expressway
coming
through
and
what
that's
going
to
do
for
South,
Clay
and
Southwest
Clay.
All
you
have
to
do
is
take
a
look
across
the
river
and
see
what's
happened
with
River
town
you'll
find
about.
We've
talked
about
that
growth.
B
That
growth
is
coming,
that
growth
will
not
be
stopped
unless
we
hinder
it
ourselves
in
the
sense
that
people
will
choose
possibly
choose
not
to
come
here
because
of
because
of
the
condition
of
facilities.
So
the
reality
is.
We
have
the
same
challenges
of
all
the
other
districts.
No
funding
I
got
it.
We
have
limited
funding
and
the
funding
we
have
is
restricted
for
specific
purposes
and
we
can
only
use
it
for
X.
So
there's
a
no
saying,
y'all
heard
me
say
it
authority
without
capacity
is
futility.
B
You
know
we
have
to
have
that,
even
though
all
of
us
in
here
in
positions,
we
got
to
have
capacity
to
be
able
to
execute
the
mission
and
solve
some
of
these
problems.
Now
I'm
gonna
be
the
first
one
to
tell
you
no
one
likes
to
have
these
difficult
conversations
required
to
meet
the
current
needs.
I
got
it
I
got
it,
there's
never
a
right
time.
B
There's
never
going
to
be
a
right
time
to
discuss
this,
and
it's
probably
one
of
the
reasons
it's
never
been
addressed
because
it's
never
the
right
time,
but
I
can
promise
you
this.
The
challenge
remains,
the
challenge
is
going
to
happen.
I
mean
the
challenges
will
be
there.
It
doesn't
matter
it
doesn't
matter,
I
mean
if
the
whether
you're
for
it
for
against
it.
What
I'm
for
a
solution,
whoever
sits
in
the
chair,
whoever
sits
in
this
chair
behind
me,
whoever
sits
in
the
chairs
behind
you.
They
can
vote
you
in
vote.
B
B
Davis
spoke,
the
county
spoke
CCU
a
talked
about
their
challenges
with
infrastructure,
AT&T
and
the
infrastructure
with
what
we
have
to
do
to
set
up
infrastructure
to
deal
with
the
growth
that
growth
is
coming,
it's
not
going
to
be
stopped
and
while
we're
doing
that
the
facilities
get
older
every
day,
something
is
breaking
every
morning
and
I
found
out
at
its
stand
up.
So
let's
take
a
look
at
some
of
this.
So
remember,
I
told
you
with
the
cap.
B
Would
we
end
up
with
about
8
million
dollars
and
about
160
hundred
seventy
thousand
dollars
per
school
for
the
year?
What
you're
looking
at
is
you'll
see
a
bunch
of
pictures.
Now.
I
am
not
showing
these
pictures
to
shame
our
team
I'm
showing
you
the
pictures,
because
crisis
happened
every
morning
that
bump
projects
that
force
us
to
go
take
care
of
HVAC,
plumbing
and
roofing
issues
that
are
just
failing
here.
B
You're
looking
at
rooftop
units,
we're
gonna
fly
through
a
bunch
of
pictures,
very
quick,
so
just
miss
bola
hang
in
there
with
me
we're
gonna
we're
gonna,
we're
gonna
be
flying
through
some
pictures
here.
This
is
the
rooftop
unit
at
Orange,
Park,
High,
School,
and,
and
there
you
go.
That's
that's
the
other
part
of
that.
Just
that
project
alone
is
over
$1,000,000
1.2
million
dollars.
Now
that
there
you
go,
there's
there's
more
than
25
percent
of
what
we
have
for
capital
available
for
for
that
particular.
B
If
you
take
106
10
of
60
$70,000
of
school,
that's
1.2
million
dollars
just
for
the
chillers
to
try
to
replace
the
Orange
Park
High
School
rooftops
our
facilities,
our
agent
they're
rusted,
the
compressors
on
the
ground,
the
art
to
use
or
original
the
arti
user
rooftop
units,
the
rooftop
units
are
old.
None
of
the
HVAC
and
mechanical
systems
were
replaced
on
the
schedule
that
they
should
have
been
replaced.
People
think
Fleming,
awning,
implement
Island
is
brand
new,
this
one.
Oh,
they
think
this
is
a
Taj
Mahal.
B
You
understand
you're
in
2003
we're
coming
up
now
where
all
the
mechanical
systems
should
be
replaced
coming
up
15
to
18
years.
This
should
be
replaced,
they
start
failing.
They
wear
out
their
old.
We
can't
get
parts
for
them,
you're.
Looking
right
there,
the
boiler
at
clay
Hill
elementary
school,
the
boiler
it
burned
up
last
week
by
the
way
it
burned
up
last
week,
and
it
just
just
this
piece
right
here
is
50
grand
and
you
can't
get
parts
for
it.
You
can't
fix
it.
B
You
can't
find
it
and
if
you
do
you're
putting
band-aids
on
band-aids
take
a
look
at
the
RT
units
here,
additional
RT
units,
there's
the
air
handler
at
clay
Hill.
You
know
old
companies
don't
exist
anymore,
can't
get
the
parts
very
expensive
to
replace
rusted
out
motors
are
to
use
actually
falling
apart,
rusting
out
at
the
bottom.
As
you
can
see,
you
can
see
just
from
the
evidence
of
these
pictures
are
our
facilities
are
in
dire
need
of
assistance,
water,
fountains
throughout
schools.
You
know
we
try
to
fix.
B
We
repair
these
as
they
as
they
are
reported
in
work
orders
and
we
keep
working
but
we're
putting
band-aids
on
band-aids
and
and
after
a
while,
you
run
out
of
band-aids.
When
you
talk
about
the
portable
City
and
you're.
Looking
at
right
now,
you're
looking
at
the
the
overhead
Walt
waives
the
covered
walkways,
they're
rusted
out
they
leak
to
create
drainage
problems,
safety
issues
we
have
all
of
the
all
of
the
gutters
and
gutter
systems
that
are
failing
us.
B
You
have
I
mean
just
things
that
are
falling
apart
miles
and
miles
of
fencing
that
need
to
be
replaced,
not
in
addition
to
we're
talking
about
this
with
safety
and
security,
but
we
also
have
the
existing
fences
that
we
have
to
go
back
and
and
take
a
look
at.
You
know
lockers.
We
talked
about
lockers
while
ago.
I
think
we
somebody's
mentioned
those
well
I.
Go
I
mean
these
things
are
just
old
outdated.
You
know
we
need
that.
We
need
to
replace
them.
B
That's
the
intercom
system
on
the
left,
you're
only
missing
two
cups
and
a
string
I'm
pretty
sure
I
mean
that's.
That
was
probably
the
first,
that's
probably
the
second
rendition
of
talking
to
somebody
long
distance
and
look
at
look
at
our
classrooms.
I
mean
our
classrooms
are
old,
outdated.
We've
tried
to
address
these
things,
bathrooms
original
plumbing,
think
about
going
to
a
91
year
old,
bathroom,
okay,
some
of
you
went
and
attended
those
restrooms.
You
know
so
these
restrooms.
That
was
not
meant
the
way
it
came
out.
B
That
was
not
knit
the
way
it
came
out,
but
some
of
you
understand
what
I'm
talking
about,
but
our
kids
deserve.
You
know,
restrooms
that
that
are
clean
and
inviting
and
updated
and
relevant.
We've
got
holes
in
the
bottom
and
things
things
wearing
out
things
that
are
out
of
order
and
we're
in
you
know.
People
say
why
don't
you
just
fix
it?
Why
didn't
y'all
where's
the
priority?
The
priority
has
always
been
there.
It
gets
bumped
because
of
another
critical
crisis,
here's
more
arty
use
and
another
another
compressor
on
the
bottom.
B
You
got
facades
that
are
falling
apart.
You
know
one
of
the
things,
the
superintendent.
You
know
we
one
of
our
principals.
They
want
it
to
look
good.
They
wanted
to
look
nice.
The
facades
are
falling
apart
over
time,
they've
just
aged
out
original
windows
that
are
that
are
really
need
to
be
replaced
and
broken
in
some
situations.
Cafeteria
floors,
you
really
can't
see
it.
I'm
gonna,
try
to
I'm
gonna,
try
to
point
it
out
here,
but
we
have
cracks
without
killin
Terry
Dennis.
B
We
have
foundational
cracks
and
there
you
can
kind
of
see
it
right
there
if
there's
foundation
with
cracks,
taking
place
all
in
the
facilities
and
are
in
the
older
schools
that
we
have
it's.
It's
just
a
challenge.
There's
some
carpet
for
you
that
it's
probably
older
than
the
majority
of
the
people
in
this
room,
and
then
we
have
outdated
facilities,
their
roof
leaks.
That's
our
reality!
Everyday
erosion
problems.
B
There
is
an
unintended
consequence
for
being
so
cheap.
When
we
build
schools
up
front,
we
might
value
engineer
up
front
and
we
put
the
cheaper
stuff
in
the
ground.
We
put.
We
had
what
16
17
storm
drain
failures.
Last
year,
unexpected
from
those
tropical
storms
and
the
Hurricanes-
and
you
got
pictures
here
where
you're
looking
at
some
of
these
pictures,
where
you
know
our
storm
drains
are
above
grade
above
ground,
there's
their
sink.
There's
you
know
little
holes
or
failing
they're
kind
of
little
sink
holes
that
happen,
you're.
B
Looking
at
the
long
jump
at
Fleming,
Island,
High,
School
right
here.
It's
a
water
feature
at
this
point.
Maybe
you
can
use
it
for
rowing
or
something
else.
This
is
the
track
at
Orange,
Park,
Elementary
School.
This
I
mean
Orange
Park,
High
School.
This
happened
to
us
this
year,
unexpected.
You
know
the
damage
from
what
we
experienced,
and
you
know
this
kind
of
stuff.
It's
not
you
know
we.
B
Don't
get
reimbursed
for
this
stuff,
we
have
to
go
fix.
This
physical
education
course
classes
use
this.
It's
a
safety
issue,
it's
a
security
issue.
That's
our
reality!
Look
at
some
of
the
drainage
issues.
That's
my
man
I'll
an
elementary
school
on
the
bottom
there
within
the
any
time
it
rains
anytime.
We
have
issues,
we
have
drainage
issues
all
over
the
all
over
the
place,
our
courts,
the
surface
courts,
our
original.
They
need
to
be
resurfaced
just
for
safety
alone.
Our
risk
management
person
sees
that
sees
that
middle
slide
and
trust
me.
B
D
B
B
But
the
strategy
of
thinking
that
portable,
that
the
neighborhoods
would
age
out
and
you
wouldn't
need
the
brick
and
mortar
space
anymore,
and
we
didn't
want
to
invest
in
there-
that
it's
not
I,
mean
we're
91
years
in
our
oldest
school
is
still
is
still
going.
We're
not
into
a
situation
where
we
need
to
close
any
schools
for
enrollment,
so
the
maturity,
the
maturity
neighborhood.
B
The
maturing
neighborhood
strategy
did
not
compan
out,
but
we
have
hundreds
and
hundreds
and
hundreds
and
portables,
and
what
we'll
talk
more
about
that
in
just
a
second
and
the
rally
of
the
Oporto.
The
reality
of
the
portables
are
they're.
Just
they're
high
they're
high
maintenance
they're
hard
to
maintain
they're
inefficient
they're
there
they're
just
difficult
there
might
have
been
a
convenient
strategy,
but
it's
a
different
time
now
and
the
one
thing
that
concerns
me,
the
most
about
the
portables
is
no
matter
how
hard
our
team
works
and
I
did
not
mean
to
miss
mr.
B
John
Ward
for
safety
and
security.
But
one
of
the
things
that
concerns
me,
the
most
about
our
portables,
is
that
you
can't
is
very
difficult
to
harden
them
or
secure
them.
You
know,
god
forbid,
you
know,
got
God,
god
forbid.
You
only
have
to
come
on
the
campus
and
and
could
do
some
significant
damage
we
have
to.
We
have
to
do
portable
word.
We
have
to
do
portable
reduction.
B
We
have
to
get
rid
of
the
poor,
you
have
to
start
getting
rid
of
the
portables,
so
the
reality
is
here's
some
of
the
you
know,
here's
some
other,
embarrassing
photographs
and
I'm
not
doing
this
is
not
just.
This
is
real
bathrooms
that
are
broke,
ceilings
that
are
falling
in,
and
you
know,
there's
a
shop
suman's
and
when
you're,
how
in
the
world
did
it
get
that
bad?
How
did
it
happen?
B
It
was
always
an
intent
to
try
to
do
something
with
it
and
a
air
conditioner
broke,
plumbing,
Berg
roof
and
leaks,
and
some
something
bumped
it
out-of-date
hallways
talk
about
is
for
a
second
mr.
Buckley
and
his
team
and
mr.
McCauley
until
what
they've
done
an
unbelievable
job
in
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
correct
in
some
of
the
issues
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
they
faced
but
providing
met.
The
problem
providing
network
when
in
2017,
when
we
got
here,
we
didn't
have
Wi-Fi
in
all
of
our
schools.
B
B
Thanks
to
mr.
Buckley
and
his
team
and
our
team,
we
teamed
up,
we
got
together,
we
combined,
we
do
what
we
need
to
do.
The
school
dinner
the
system's
lit
up
today,
I
mean
they
should
have
Wi-Fi.
Other
schools.
Districts
had
Wi-Fi
in
2000.
For
goodness
sake,
you
know,
there's
no
excuse
for
us
to
have
been
in
that
situation.
So
we
correct
these
issues
as
we
go.
So
here's
the
reality,
I
mean
that's
just
a
sample
of
the
pictures.
Same
challenges,
other
districts.
B
We
have
the
same
challenge
as
other
districts
and
for
anyone
to
think
that
we
don't.
If
anyone
thinks
that
you
know
we
don't
we,
you
know
they're
just
unbelievably
in
denial
and
I,
encourage
them
in
a
respectful
way.
I
encourage
them
comes,
come
walk
with
mr.
Han's
or
spend
the
day
in
maintenance
or
come
start
at
stand
up
and
find
out,
what's
broke
and
find
out
what
what,
how
his
day
gets
shifted
from
crisis
to
crisis.
Now
we're
not
alone
24.
B
Other
districts
have
had
to
have
the
tough
conversations
that
we're
starting
to
have
regardless
of
strategy.
You
know
those
24
districts
have
already
walked
down
this
path:
Alachua,
Bay,
Brevard,
Calhoun,
Escambia,
Flagler,
Hernando,
Highlands,
Hillsborough,
Jackson,
Lee,
Leon
liberty,
manatee,
Martin,
Monroe,
Orange,
County,
Osceola,
Polk,
st.
John,
st.
Lucie,
Santa,
Rosa,
Volusia
and
Washington
counties.
B
They've
already
been
down
this
road
they've
all
had
they've
all
had
to
have
these
tough
conversations
about
what
we're
going
to
do
and
I
can
promise
you
as
hard
as
those
pictures
were,
to
show
about
the
reality
of
our
existing
facilities.
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
a
person
I've
run
into
that,
doesn't
agree
that
our
kids
deserve
better.
Our
teachers
deserve
our
employees
deserve
relevant
facilities.
Are
that
that
are
that
are
dependable
and
reliable.
So
you
know
our
job.
Our
goal
every
day
is
to
go
out
and
try
to
execute
that
mission
boy.
B
My
mission
is
almost
unobtainable
and
they
have
to
live
it.
Everything
works
every
day,
boy
just
think
about
that.
We
could
get
to
that
point.
So
let's
talk
about
the
possibility
of
what
a
half
cent
sales
tax
or
what
a
revenue
stream,
whether
it's
this
or
any
other
stream.
We
looked
at
mr.
mr.
sue,
the
superintendent
Davis.
He
looked
at,
he
showed
you
all
the
options.
What
our
options
we
looked
at
general
fund.
General
funds,
not
an
option.
You
can
bond
out
yeah
when
I
last
checked
with
you
know,
dr.
B
lococo,
the
most
we
could
probably
bond
out
would
be
one
hundred
and
hundred
hundred
million
to
bond
out
to
build
new
schools.
The
problem
with
bonding
out
to
build
the
new
schools
is
you
have
to
repay
that
debt
and
debt
service,
that
debt
service
comes
a
lot
of
the
time
from
impact
or
new
growth
or
LCIF
or
other
areas
that
impact
our
ability
to
take
care
of
existing
schools.
So
let's
talk
about
edie
first
for
a
second,
the
needs
assessment
that
we
put
together.
B
B
I'm
all
fine
with
people
saying
we've
been
on
anti
this
anti.
We
can't
do
this,
can't
do
that
can't
do
that
can't
do
the
bonding
can't
do
can't
do
the
general
fund.
We
do
not
have
enough
capital
dollars
to
state
cut
us.
They
don't
want
to
do
the
hiset,
the
milk
them
the
millage
is
limited
and
and
what
it
can
be
used
so
for
and
it
doesn't
meet.
The
need.
I
need
a
solution.
B
What
would
we
call?
What
would
we
do?
We
called
it
IDI
first
education
first,
because
it's
Fi
R
as
a
facilities,
infrastructure,
restricted
sales,
tax
districts.
24
districts
have
done
this
because
it's
a
more
equitable
way
to
share
the
responsibility.
What's
coming,
you
know
in
providing
safe
and
relevant
facilities
for
eligible,
since
it's
the
five
dollars
for
eligible
thousand
dollars
is
the
one
of
the
best
ways
to
get
it
done.
Other
reasons
that
they
pursued.
B
It
is
because
of
the
impact
on
local
development
and
what
it's
going
to
do
for
the
schools
we
put
that
back
in
our
schools,
local
development
and
local
business.
Parte
participation
is
also
a
win,
so
twenty-four
districts
before
us
have
seen
this
as
a
possible
solution,
not
a
popular
one
got
it
understand,
it's
not
the
most
popular,
but
we
need
the
local
that
school
district
could
receive
the
local
support
that
it
needs
to
fix
these
existing
issues
and
address
new
growth.
Main
thing
is
it:
doesn't
it
would
not
burden
further
property
owners?
B
You
know
it's
not
just
about
property
owners
being
carrying
the
load
and
revenue
reinvested
in
like
local
economic
development.
I
want
you
to
think
about
something
when
we
go
across
the
bridge
and
you
go
to
the
sentox
teen
outlet
malls
and
you
go
to
the
beach
for
the
day
and
you
go
and
you
stop
and
you
go,
spend
any
dollar
anywhere
you're
supporting
your
support
in
that
school
district
with
the
First
Coast
Expressway,
coming
in
with
the
first
coast
expressway
coming
in.
Why
would
we
not
consider
as
a
option
after
we
review
all
the
others?
B
Why
would
we
not
consider
as
an
option
setting
up
a
revenue
stream,
that's
going
to
support
our
children
and
our
facilities
and
give
us
the
opportunity
to
compete
and
be
relevant?
The
power
of
a
penny
I
pass
been
asked
the
question:
what's
the
value
as
of
right
now,
what
is
the
value
of
one
cent
in
Clay
County,
this
construct,
which
directly
from
the
Florida
Department
of
Revenue,
and
when
you
take
a
look
at
it?
One
penny
generates
twenty
six
point:
nine
million
dollars.
B
Now
this
was
the
estimate
as
of
the
end
of
September
30
2019
every
year,
Florida
dlr
gives
another
one,
but
a
half
cent
is
13
would
be
thirteen
point
four
thirteen
point:
four
million
dollars
a
year
for
thirty
four,
however
long
the
term
would
be.
We
were
looking
at
a
thirty-year
because
of
the
needs
over
six
hundred
million
dollars
and
needs.
So
a
capital
development
project
was
a
thirty
year
plan
development
validations.
We
did
a
survey,
this
team,
our
team-
wasn't
just
me
our
team
did
surveys.
We've
got
school
administration
to
give
us
surveys.
B
I
met
with
each
one
of
you
on
the
needs
assessment
and
we
looked
at
what
what
the
problems
were.
What
was
reported
each
one
of
my
team
Phil
had
all
of
the
trades
all
of
our
existing
trade,
individual,
our
certified
trade
as
individuals,
HVAC
plumbing,
roofing
carpentry.
We
looked
at
the
facility
school-by-school
and
we
made
an
assessment
based
on
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
currently
fix
our
facilities.
B
O
O
O
A
B
So
when
you
take
that
figure,
that
was
the
figure
from
Ford
&
Associates
we
receive
from
last
year,
and
you
look
at
a
thirty
year
plan
development.
We
went
through
those,
then
that's
where
we
came
up
with
the
308.
We
went
school
by
school
and
looked
at
that
and
on
what
our
current
facilities
and
the
facilities
need
was
as
a
matter
of
fact,
Bryce
Todd.
If
you
would
just
did
you
just
I,
know
how
much
you
love
spreadsheets,
miss.
B
But
I
want
you
to
see,
we
went
to
school
by
school
and
we
looked
at
needs
and
if
people
said
well
how'd
you
come
up
with
this
need.
You
know
for
first
of
all,
we
went
through
there,
it
wouldn't
fit.
You
wouldn't
see
it
if
I,
if
I
tried
to
provide
it
to
you
on
the
screen,
it's
too
small
to
see,
but
we
went
school
by
school.
Looked
at
age
of
facility
number
of
instructional
units.
What
needed
to
be?
B
You
know
what
what
needed
to
be
looked
at,
what
funding
source
did
we
have,
and
as
of
now,
we
have
318
million
dollars
that
we've
identified
now,
there's
a
big
asterisk.
Next
to
that
and
look
at
the
it's
based
on
the
the
current
need,
it's
subject
to
change,
because
every
day
something
else
breaks.
Okay,
so
that's
the
current
facility
need
versus
the
revenue
stream
at
a
fixed
thirteen
point.
You
know
four,
six
million
that
you
saw
over
there.
We
did
generate
four
hundred
and
three
million
dollars.
That's
no
growth!
B
Now
we
know
that
that
that
revenue
stream
is
going
to
grow
over
time,
but
four
hundred
and
three
million
dollars.
Thirty
years
is
what
that
would
develop.
So
when
you
take
what
we've
identified
currently
our
teams
identified
in
needs,
and
you
look
at
the
new
growth
you're
at
a
six
hundred
and
eighteen
million,
so
so,
regardless
of
the
asterisk
in
the
figure
and
the
current
needs.
B
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
everybody
understands
that,
even
with
this
revenue
stream,
it
doesn't
cover
the
needs
that
we're
going
to
have
to
address
over
time
and
remember
we're
talking
a
long
period.
Things
will
have
to
be
replaced.
That's
good.
Y'all
did
a
great
job,
so
so
said:
how'd
you
get
the
318
million.
What
did
it
mean?
The
proposed
projects
in
that
master
on
that
spreadsheet
or
safety
security
upgrades
all
of
the
proposed
projects
have
to
fall
within
a
four
bucket
area,
so
to
speak.
It
has
to
either
be
a
safety
security
issue.
B
It
has
to
be
a
new
construction
issue,
renovation,
repair
or
technology
by
referendum
by
referendum.
Those
are
protected.
It
has
to
be
that
the
projects
that
generate
that
318
million
our
safety
security
upgrades
by
school
capital
improvement
classroom
a
determinant
classroom
additions,
portable
reduction
by
the
way
eight
classrooms
cost
us
approximately
two
million
dollars
to
build
a
permanent
structure.
So
to
think
about
that,
so
portable
reduction,
new
growth,
construction,
seven
schools,
classroom
technology
improvements.
Folks
as
hard
as
the
is
team
is
trying.
B
Every
I'm
going
to
every
school
deserves
to
have
the
newest
technology
that
our
newest
schools
have
and
to
be
prepared
to
engage
kids,
a
viewsonic
projector
and
a
pulldown
white
screen.
It's
not
a
20,
it's
not
the
21st
century
technology
that
we
want
to
provide
our
kids
energy,
the
efficiency
improvement
building
envelope,
building
envelope,
that's
roof
ceiling,
lining
anything
that
envelopes
the
building.
So
you
got
building
envelope
mechanical
HVAC
controls,
everyday
HVAC
control
failures,
plumbing
upgrades,
you
saw
the
pictures,
food
nutrition
service,
upgrades,
you'll,
see
it
educational
program,
improvements,
classroom,
furniture,
replacement,
I.
B
Help
me
understand,
a
person
will
help
me
understand
was
I
could
not
understand.
While
we
were
purchasing
equipment
off
of
deals
to
save
money.
But
it's
you
know:
I
got
I'm
all
about
saving
money,
but
we're
buying
other
district
stuff
they're
getting
rid
of
surplus
and
getting
rid
of
old
wasn't
good
enough
for
their
kids
and
we're
and
we
were
taking
it
I.
Just
that's
not
that's!
Not
gonna
I
can't
be
a
part
of
that
so
educational
program,
our
kids,
deserve
better
educational
program
improvements,
classroom
furniture
replacement,
our
transportation
facility
out
there.
B
It
was
value
it
was
valued
engineered
when
it
was
bought
way.
They
cut
it
down,
we've
grown
the
fleets
grown,
they
work,
outta
portables
as
well.
You
know,
so
these
master
projects
all
fall
within
the
four
areas
of
the
referendum.
Now,
when
I
say
facilities,
infrastructure,
restricted
sales,
tax,
its
restricted
to
those
four
areas
and
can't
be
touched
very
quickly,
go
back
over
this
again
new
schools
needed.
You
know.
We
know
we
got
to
do
school
a
to
Creek
school
are
at
315
within
two
years,
based
on
the
new
growth.
B
B
The
immediate
and
immediate
need
growth
South
with
the
governor's
Park
coming
in
that
knockety
and
how
it's
gonna
change
the
South
we're
looking
at
one
elementary
school
down
there,
if
not
two
so
five
to
seven
schools
in
the
next
ten
years,
you
saw
how
we
developed
it
now:
I'm
not
going
to
go
school
by
school.
I'm
gonna
save
you
that,
but
I
will
tell
you
the
feeder
pattern,
investment
that
we're
looking
at
and
the
average
age
of
the
feeder
pattern
I'm
prepared
if
the
board
directs
the
superintendent.
Mr.
B
Davis,
you
direct
our
team,
you
know
I'm
prepared
to
show
how
this
needs
assessment
impacts
every
school
individually
and
how
it
impacts
the
feeder
pattern.
So
take
a
look
at
this
slide.
Keystone
Heights
has
two
feeders
McCrae
and
Keystone
Heights
Elementary.
The
number
of
a
number
of
instructional
units
I
use,
instructional
unit
class
157
total
projected
upgrades
just
for
those
that
those
157
classrooms
just
about
25
million
dollars,
an
average
of
8.3
per
school
average
age
at
Keystone
Heights.
Those
facilities
is
44
years
old
and
they're.
All
original
it's
falling
apart,
stuffs
falling
apart
and.
B
Is
falling
apart?
You
know
it's
it's
just
this
just
the
way
it
is
clay.
High,
School,
48
years
of
average
age,
Orange,
Park,
54,
average
age,
Middleburg,
32,
Ridgeview,
34
years
of
age,
Fleming
Island,
is
an
average
age
of
thirty
oak
leaf
is
an
average
age
of
19,
and
you
talk
about
the
feeder
schools
that
feed
it.
So
the
Elementary's,
the
junior
High's
that
feed
the
high
school's
that's
what
came
up
with
feeder
pattern
investment.
So
what
does
that
look
like
from
it
from
a
pie
shape?
Let's
look
at
it
differently.
B
You
can
kind
of
seed
based
on
the
number
of
instructional
units,
the
number
of
classrooms
you
have
to
upgrade
and
impact
your
figure
average
investment
need
per
school.
When
you
take
a
look
at
what
the
cost
is
per
school,
you
can
see
it
works
out
relatively
equitably,
based
on
the
number
of
classrooms
that
have
to
be
upgraded.
Okay,
so
I'm
enclosing
I'm
about
to
close.
B
We
call
it
education,
I
coined
education
first,
for
a
reason,
we
really
we
really
need
to
put
education
first,
the
kids
first,
the
teachers
first,
our
environments.
First,
we
really
want
to
create
the
ideal
teaching
and
learning
environment
referendum
protected
projects,
first,
facilities,
infrastructure,
restricted
sales
tax
by
statute.
If
it
was
supported-
and
we
were
blessed
enough
for
it
to
be
supported
by
the
community-
it
cannot
be.
It
can't
be
touch.
It's
it's
referendum
protected
it's
for
capital
projects.
Only.
It
cannot
be
used
for
salaries.
It
can't
be
used
for
operational
expenses
business.
B
There
will
be
the
only
way
I
would
be
involved
with
it.
I've
done
it
in
other
states,
but
the
only
way
I've
been
involved
with
it
would
have
an
external
citizens,
Oversight
Committee,
an
oversight
committee
that
validates
that
the
projects
that
we
bring
forward
are
a
directly
line
to
the
referendum.
B
That's
the
oversight,
it's
about
being
above
the
line
it's
about
having
that
Oversight
Committee,
and
for
me
it's
about
trying
to
position
to
help
this
leadership
team
position
clay
to
be
relevant
and
competitive
for
the
next
50
years,
so
also
about
promises
made
promises
kept
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
know
me,
that's
fine!
Some
of
you
do
I.
Do
we
execute
the
mission?
We
execute
what
we
said
we're
going
to
do.
We
make
those
promises
and
we
keep
them.
But
I
will
say
this:
you
can
have
the
best
plan.
B
I
can
have
the
best
spreadsheet
I
can
have
the
best
plans
available.
I
can
look
at
the
best
projections
based
on
the
data
that
I
have,
but
vision
without
implementation
is
hallucination.
I
can't
explain
why
the
tough
conversation
hasn't
happened
till
now.
I
just
know
that
this
team
is
not
one
that
it's
going
to
accept
that
as
excuse
I
work
for
a
no
we've
worked
for
no
excuses
leader
that
how
can
we
fix
it?
What
do
we
ought
to
do
to
make
it
happen?
B
So
we
can
have
the
best
visions,
but
at
some
point
we
got
to
look
at
capacity
and
whether
it's
this
revenue
stream
or
if
it's,
if
it's
something
different
fine,
but
what's
the
solution
and
I
welcome
the
scrimmage.
What's
what
else
can
we
do
you
heard
doctor
you
heard
dr.
lococo
say
you
know
it
were
limited
on
what
we're
allowed
to
provide,
but
instead
of
those
ugly
pictures,
I
want
to
leave
you
some
good
ones,
safety
and
security
upgrades.
B
Imagine
if
you
talked
about
vision,
all
new
firearm
systems
we're
working
on
surveillance
when
I
got
here
in
2017,
not
even
40
percent
of
the
schools
had
surveillance.
I
can
tell
you.
100%
of
our
schools.
Right
now
have
some
some
type
of
surveillance.
When
I
first
asked
how
come
we
do
not
have
surveillance
in
our
schools
in
2017.
When
I
asked
that
question,
you
know
the
response
was
we
don't
have
those
problems
here?
B
B
B
Safety
and
security
upgrades
is
a
problem
HVAC.
This
is
what
your
chillers
and
your
handlers
and
control
should
look
like
brand
new
ready
to
go
relevant
efficient
to
provide
in
vile
teaching
and
learning
environments,
technology
and
classrooms.
Upgraded
safe
equipment
resurfacing.
The
courts
to
set
those
facilities
up
to
take
take
care
of
our
community's
children
for
the
next
50
years.
Plumbing
upgrades,
you
know,
redoing
every
bathroom,
every
bathroom
in
the
district,
okay,
what
water
conservation
filtered
filtered
water
stations
at
every
school
and
what
we're
working
on
with
that
kitchen
and
cafeteria
improvements.
B
Every
every
school
deserves
to
have
this
type
of
environment.
As
for
cafeterias,
I'll
and
with
information
services,
information
services,
you
know,
they've
done
a
great
job.
Technology's
done
a
great
job,
but
we
have
had
we
have
to
go.
We
have
to
have
them
been
a
former
CTO.
We
have
got
to
understand
that
we
have
to
be
a
reliable
and
efficient
organization
and
be
able
to
provide
a
network.
B
That's
robust
with
redundancy
that
can
withstand
redundancy
redundancy
right
hand
pitcher
with
the
children
that
everything
works
every
day
from
an
infrastructure
perspective
as
well,
and
that
the
the
main
customer
is
not
impacted
when
it
comes
to
the
opportunity
to
learn
so
our
ed
first
team.
It's
not
just
been
me.
It's
been
multiple
individuals
that
are
involved
and
had
input
as
well
as
board
members
that
have
saw
saw
the
master
project
plan.
B
It
was
a
needs
assessment
that
turned
that
has
now
turned
into
a
pasta
into
a
possible
opportunity
to
look
at.
How
do
we
start
solving
the
problem,
so
I
figured
I'd
go
ahead
and
close
with
the
questions
that
I've
had
just
in
the
last
week.
So
let's
just
go
ahead
and
just
just
go
ahead
and
address
them.
You
know
I,
keep
hearing,
you
know
what
is
the
rush?
B
You
know,
I'll
keep
hearing
that
I
hear
it
well,
the
existing
facilities
are
breaking
every
day,
so
you
know
and
people
say,
oh
so
what
they've
been
breaking
for
50
years
they
can
break.
You
know
they
can
break
another
year,
got
it,
but
there's
existing
facilities
are
breaking
every
year
and
it
knocks
another
project.
The
growth
needs
that
we're
going
to
know
we're
going
to
have
in
the
next
ten
years.
Those
problems
compound
daily,
you
know,
and
the
problems
not
going
to
correct
itself.
B
So
if
this
is
not
the
solution,
what
is
please
somebody
can
can
smarter
than
me
can
educate
me
on
what
other
options
we
have
I
get
this
one.
Well,
why
is
the
bay
up
the
board
or
the
superintendent
and/or
the
board
or
in
San
superintendent?
Why
do
they
want
to
tax
the
community
I'll?
Keep
it
why
they
just
want
to
tax.
The
community
I
can
promise
you
the
24
districts
that
I
just
mentioned.
B
Nobody
wants
to.
Nobody
wants
to
have
that
conversation
and
I
just
want
to
remind
the
public
that
neither
the
board
need
none
of
you,
the
superintendent.
Mr.
Davis,
not
you
BCC,
not
the
BCC,
they
don't
tell
you,
don't
tax
the
community
we're
a
we're
at
a
state
where
the
community
needs
to
decide
whether
or
not
we
they
want
to
help
us
provide
relevant
and
up-to-date
and
safe
facilities
and
get
rid
of
portables
and
in
position
us
for
the
next
50
years.
The
board,
the
board
in
the
superintendent
or
the
BCC
doesn't
decide
community
can
decide.
B
If
the
community
supports
us,
we
will
execute
it
like
we
say
we're
going
to
execute
it.
The
commune
doesn't
want
to
support
us.
That's
you
know
that
we
will
continue
to
my
team.
This
team
will
continue
to
find
a
way
to
put
the
band-aid
on
the
band-aid
on
the
band-aid
on
the
bandana
and
the
band-aid,
but
I
feel
formed
because
it's
tough
and
we
can't
do
it.
I
get
this
one.
Why
don't
we
use
existing
funding
sources?
You
just
heard
dr.
lococo
and
she
just
spelled
our
ear.
There
is
no
secrets.
B
There
is
no
stash
of
money
anywhere.
There
is
no
extra
money
anywhere.
The
state
cut,
limited
capacity,
we're
limited
Authority
without
capacity
is
futility.
What
about
impact
fees?
Oh?
They
have
impact
fees.
What
about
that?
Folks
only
generates
five
million
dollars
annually
right
now:
okay,
five
million
dollars
annually.
We
have
some
of
the
lowest
impact
fees
around
that
that
can
only
be
used
for
new
growth.
You
cannot
use
impact
fees
for
maintenance
and
repair.
B
We
have
six
hundred
million
dollars
in
need,
so
since
I
can't
use
them
on
maintenance
and
repair,
we
have
three
hundred
million
dollars
in
new
school
need
right.
It
takes
60
years
five
days
of
math,
five
goes
into
600
million
three
hundred
million
scuse
me
five
goes
into
three
hundred
million.
Sixty
years,
can't
use
it
further
repair
at
sixty
years.
It's
just
not
it's
just
not
it's.
Just
not
it's
not
doable.
A
B
They
go
I
get
this
one
well,
I
heard
they're
not
use
I
mean
this
is
the
you
know.
Are
we
using
existing
funds
responsibly,
I
challenge
anyone
who
says
that
we're
not
that
we're
audited
every
year
the
doc
doctor
lagakos
team
is
audited
every
year
we're
audited
it's
there,
it's
there
at
for
everyone
to
see
we're
restricted.
They
think
we
have
dollars
that
we
don't
because
we
can't
use
those
dollars
for
that
reason
by
statute,
so
CCD
I,
say
we're
audited
annually
I
would
I
would
encourage
anyone
to
that.
Has
that
concern
like
contact
dr.
B
lococo,
look
at
the
audits.
It
would
be
there.
Why
can't
you
use
the
millage?
Do
the
math
millage
would
only
generate
48
million
dollars.
We
have
six
hundred
million
dollars
in
need.
Six
hundred
million
is
greater
than
48
million
dollars
and
that's
a
limited
revenue
stream.
Can
the
school
board
redirect
this
revenue
source
this
all
the
oh?
They
just
want
to
get
their
hands
on
it.
They
want
to
chain.
Let
me
tell
you
what
no
you
can't
and
if
I
had
to
put
my
MC
Hammer
pants
on
and
dance
around.
B
I
did
okay
once
again,
it's
referendum
protected
for
capital
projects.
Can
the
school
board
get
their
hands
on
a
redirect
the
revenue
source
once
a
pack?
No,
we
execute
the
mission.
Can
Union
I've
heard
this
I've
heard
this
canned?
Oh,
the
Union
just
wants
it,
so
they
can
do
and
reduce
salaries,
and
no,
you
can't
do
it.
So
it's
set
that
the
red
canopies
for
operational
expenses,
no
we're
just
going
about
higher,
they
might
give
about
it.
No,
you
can't
its
capital
projects.
Only.
Will
oversight
be
provided?
B
Want
I
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
some
type
of
solution,
so
when
we
walk
through
schools
and
teachers
and
kids
and
parents
know
just
the
parents
that
have
contacted
me,
but
our
principals
say
you
know
say
you
know
we
need
help.
Can
you
help
us
fix
this
I?
So
much
want
to
be
able
to
help
help
that
problem
and
they
deserve
it.
Our
kids
deserve
the
same,
the
same
opportunities
that
all
these
other
districts
are
having
to
look
at
these
tough
things.
B
So
with
that
I
hope
that
I've
been
respectful
if
I
didn't
like
I
want
to
apologize,
I
apologize
up
front
if
anyone's
in
did
anyone,
but
for
us
of
how
it
got
this
way.
My
team
is
awesome,
their
teams
are
awesome
and
they
tried
their
best
every
day,
but
we're
getting
to
a
point
to
where
the
band-aids
on
band-aids
on
band-aids
I.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
be
prepared
to
execute
whatever
mission
the
superintendent
directs,
because
that's
what
we
do
every
day.
Thank
you.
Thank.
N
N
You
could
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
it
has
to
do
with
the
total
issue
of
the
monies,
the
the
one
bucket
of
money,
the
hundred
dollars
per
property
assessment-
I,
don't
think
that's
fair
to
landlords
and
the
people
of
the
community
I
think
we
need
to
look
at
a
personal
property
tax
for
things
that
are
titled,
like
other
states
do,
and
that
would
help
in
this
matter
that
you're
speaking
of
now,
to
fix
these
problems
in
the
schools.
Anybody
that
has
a
boat,
an
ATV,
a
car.
N
Everything
is
assessed
every
year
and
you
pay
a
tax
on
the
things
that
you
own
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
the
county
is
stepping
over
the
line
and
building
parks
and
not
taking
care
of
their
due
diligence
in
the
safety
of
this
community,
like
when
the
little
girl
got
killed
in
Fleming
Island,
because
there's
not
enough
lighting.
You
know
these
are
serious
issues.
A
Q
N
Gonna,
how
you
gonna
get
this
money
and
it's
up
to
the
people
to
do
so
and
I
would
ask
the
legislators
to
look
seriously
at
a
personal
property
tax.
You
know,
if
you
own
a
new
Lincoln,
then
you
pay
more
than
the
guy
that's
driving
a
20
year
old
car.
You
know
that's
just
a
fair
tax
for
the
community.
N
Running
our
kids
in
each
other,
and
you
know
the
parkland
shooting
that
was
to
football
rooms
that
were
targeted.
You
know
we
got
a
look
at
the
overall
health
of
our
schools
if
we
need
to
get
rid
of
football
so
that
we
can
have
Safe
Schools
and
spend
the
money
the
right
way,
then
that's
what
we
need
to
do.
I
put
in
a
public
records
request
two
months
ago
and
I
have
yet
to
receive
it.
You
know
anything.
K
More
important
than
our
education
of
our
children
in
clicking
on
a
school
bus
driver
of
13
years,
a
Clay
County
property
tax
payer
of
23
years,
the
grandmother
of
two
granddaughters
who
graduated
from
Ridge
View
High
a
grandson
Curtin
currently
enrolled
in
Lakeside,
Jr
and
great-grandmother
of
a
five
year
old,
who
is
about
to
start
kindergarten
in
our
district
at
lakeside
elementary,
as
you
can
see,
I
have
some
skin
in
this
game
from
multiple
fronts.
When
it
comes
to
the
decisions
the
board
makes,
it
affects
my
life
and
the
lives
of
my
family
members.
K
We
need
to
act
now.
It
has
been
put
off.
It
has
been
kicked
down
the
road
time
after
time
after
time,
and
all
that
results
in
is
more
problems,
no
solutions,
regardless
of
what
people
have
done
in
the
past.
You
all
are
here
now
think,
please
of
why
you
ran
for
school
board.
I
have
spoken
to
many
of
you
individually
over
the
past
few
years
and
I
know
that
in
your
hearts,
you
all
want
to
help
the
children
of
Clay
County.
K
K
K
K
I'm
not
a
big
football
fan,
but
I
have
watched
a
few
football
games
over
my
lifespan
and
to
make
a
kind
of
simple
analogy:
we
all
cheer
with
yard
gain
yardage
gains
and
first
downs,
but
it's
the
follow-through,
the
consistent
long-term
effort
that
wins
the
game.
That's
what
we're
in
folks
a
very
important
game.
Let's
put
Clay
County
on
the
road
to
the
championships.
Thank
you
thank.
T
My
name
is
Rebecca
Smith.
My
addresses
on

All
you
know
me
I
speak
from
the
heart.
This
is
about
our
children.
It's
about
our
children.
Are
you
gonna,
stand
up
for
our
children
and
give
them
decent
schools
to
go
to
listen.
We
understand
that
we've
lost
funds,
but
I
think
we're
aiming
a
little
low
I
think
we
need
to
get
one
cent
tax.
After
seeing
his
presentation
of
how
much
money
it
was
going
to
bring
in
daddy,
hitting
bucket.
T
A
T
Got
to
do
what's
right
in
nobody
likes
taxes,
I,
don't
like
them,
but
I'm
willing
to
pay
it,
because
it's
a
need
here.
You
want
to
be
proud
of
our
school
system.
We
are
proud
of
our
school
system.
We
can
do
better.
I
like
takes
time
to
think
mr.
Addison
Davis
Michael
camp
for
our
school
buses
and
it's
board.
We
got
air
conditioners
coming
praise
God!
Thank
you.
T
T
D
T
These
are
that
money.
If
the
citizens
of
clay
Canton
won't
be
upset
about
this,
you
need
to
talk
to
people
in
Tallahassee.
They
put
us
in
a
spot.
We
didn't
ask
for
this,
but
we
have
an
obligation
to
do
what
is
right.
It's
not
always
possible,
but
you
need
to
do
what's
right
because
weed
voters
we
watching
yes,
mr.
Kemp,
to
do
a
job
and
his
team
give
him
the
stuff
to
do
it
with
dispatching
up
business
is
insane
it's
a
waste
of
money.
R
Okay,
good
evening,
my
name
is
Mary
holt
camp
and
I
live
at
1562,
Lynx
I'd
Drive.
A
number
of
you
know
me:
I
am
a
retiree
of
the
district
and
I
am
coming
to
you
tonight,
not
to
say
what
we
should
or
should
not
do.
I
am
bringing
to
you
the
questions
that
I
have
had
to
field,
and
some
of
them
I
have
answers
for
some
I.
Don't
I
know
that
if
this
group
could
make
the
decision,
the
decision
would
have
already
been
made.
R
The
problem
is
that
there's
an
uphill
challenge
with
the
voters,
the
voters
not
on
whether
they're
going
to
reelect
you,
but
whether
they're
going
to
vote
for
this
tax
increase.
So
I
came
tonight
to
share
some
of
the
of
the
concerns
that
I
have
had
brought
to
me
and
miss
Dixon
I'm,
one
of
those
frustrated
voters.
So
a
number
of
your
issues
kind
of
hit
home
among
the
things
that
I
that
I
have
had
to
try
to
answer
are,
if
we're
in
such
bad
shape.
R
R
Agree
with
with
all
of
the
statistics
that
have
been
mentioned
tonight,
but
that's
in
this
room-
that's
not
out
in
the
public,
among
the
things
that
I've
had
questions
posed
to
me
are
and
I
completely
respect
the
gentleman
here
in
uniform,
but
a
lot
of
people
are
asking:
how
can
we
afford
to
pay
first-year
employees
more
than
we're
paying
a
lot
of
our
teachers?
I?
Don't
have
an
answer
for
that
and
you
all
are
the
ones
who
can
get
this
out
to
the
public.
I
can't
give
them
a
good
answer.
R
The
other
issue
that
I
have
tried
the
field
and
I
don't
have
an
answer
for
is
why
do
all
of
these
new
police
officers
need
vehicles
when
they're
going
to
a
school?
Just
like
our
teachers
go
to
school
they're,
not
on
they're,
not
on
patrol
I.
Don't
have
an
answer
for
that,
nor
does
most
of
the
voting
public.
R
D
A
I
Would
like
to
say
that
I
have
been
the
recipient
or
in
working
in
a
lot
of
the
things
that
dr.
Kim
addressed
a
lot
of
the
buildings.
Seen
a
lot
of
the
things
going
on
I've
been
in
the
trenches
and
that's
basically
a
lot
of
times
what
I
would
call
I.
My
last
19
years
was
spent
at
clay
high
school,
which
I
loved
working
at,
but
it
was
I
think
there
in
nineteen
from
nineteen
seventy
and
our
programs
moving
over
to
another
part
of
the
building
that
still
had
carpet
from
that
time
frame.
I
I
Unbelievable,
not
the
fact
that
we
have
to
teach
in
it,
but
the
fact
that
our
students
are
there.
Children
are
there
and
the
ones
that
we
teach.
So
my
another
thing
that
I
would
like
to
address
that.
You
know
I
hear
these
things
that
come
through
over
the
you
know
things
that
people
just
say
that
they
just
don't
even
know
what
they're
talking
about
so
and
it's
outrageous.
They
don't
know
they
just
say
it.
Our
students
are
very
successful.
I
My
children
graduated
from
these
schools
I,
can
tell
you
nuts
to
anybody
who
thinks
that
they're
not
prepared.
My
son
graduated
from
Orange
Highschool,
one
of
the
oldest
schools
in
1994
and
has
just
received
in
March
his
second
master's
degree
from
Princeton
University,
so
I
know
for
a
fact.
We
prepare
these
students.
My
students
are
out
there
every
day.
You
see
them
in
jobs
in
this
county
that
you
are
not
aware
of,
because
I
have
students
who
have
graduated
on
our
paramedics.
I
teach
them
the
health
science
program,
your
nurses,
your
CNA
s.
I
We
are
out
there
and
they
are
back
in
these
communities
giving
back
and
they
are
employable
and
ready
to
go
to
work,
but
without
the
new
technology
which,
in
our
field
of
medicine,
is
required,
we're
not
sending
them
out
as
prepared
as
we
can
be.
So
those
that's
a
real
serious
concern
to
see
that
there's
no
money
you
know
coming
in,
we
were
making
do
and
things
are
coming
along
and
along
and
along,
but
I've
been
here
so
long.
I
I
U
Ken
willie
I
live
at
308
chase
lane.
I
was
reminded
of
a
story
earlier
today
about
someone
calling
the
office
of
that
I,
believe
it
was
the
Diocese
of
New
York
City's
school
to
find
out
how
many
administrators
they
had
and
the
woman
on
the
phone
said
I'm
not
really
sure
hold
on
a
second.
Let
me
count
and
she
stood
up
and
counted
and
I
believe
the
number
was
eight
eight
I'm,
pretty
sure
it
was
okay
and.
U
How
does
a
school
district
that
size
survive
with
that
small
of
an
administrative
staff
and
I
couldn't
find
the
story,
but
maybe
I
will
and
I'll
email
it
to
you,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
did
find
was
a
chart.
This
said
that
we
already
spend
more
money
on
taxes
than
we
do
on
food
and
housing,
combined,
I
think
it's
time
for
the
school
district
and
the
county
and
sheriff's
the
office
and
all
of
these
departments
to
find
ways
to
tighten
the
belt.
U
It
said
someone
earlier
that
if
you
float
a
bond,
you
have
to
pay
that
back.
Well,
taxes,
you
don't
have
to
pay
that
back.
Do
you
you
just
take
it
from
the
people
who
actually
earn
it.
That
money
belongs
to
the
people
of
Clay
County
they
sweat
for
that
money.
They
earned
that
money.
That
money
belongs
to
them.
D
V
V
V
D
D
V
V
We
need
this
half
cent
sales
tax.
Excuse
me
if
the
state
will
not
take
care
of
us,
it
is
our
responsibility
to
band
together
and
take
care
of
our
schools.
If
you
don't
have
students
in
the
system,
you
still
benefit
from
these
schools,
because
our
students
are
the
ones
that
are
going
to
be
employed
at
your
business.
V
Their
life
skills
start
with
us.
This
is
a
long
term
investment.
We
are
helping
them,
build
their
portfolio
and
they're
going
to
take
those
skills
on
to
a
vocational
school
onto
a
secondary
education.
Post-Secondary
educational
experience
into
the
workforce,
a
half
cent
sales
tax
is
nothing
compared
to
the
payoff
at
the
end
of
the
road.
V
This
is
their
school.
It
is
our
schools,
it
is
the
Community
Schools
it
takes
a
village.
Lena
I
would
also
part
this
with
you
you're,
not
making
the
decision
to
impose
the
tax.
Now
what
you
are
making
the
decision
on
tonight
is
to
start
the
process
and
have
the
discussion.
The
decision
is
made
down
the
road
at
the
voting
booth.
You
are
giving
the
voters
the
right
to
voice
their
opinion
at
the
ballot
box
and
whether
or
not
they
will
agree
or
not.
W
My
name
is
Victoria
Kidwell
and
my
address
is
on
file.
Speaking
as
a
resident
tonight,
I've
been
a
resident
of
Clay
County
for
more
than
four
decades
I'm
a
homeowner
and
my
husband
and
I
have
raised
three
amazing
children
in
Clay
County.
All
of
them
were
educated
and
inspired
in
clay.
County's.
Wonderful
public
schools,
like
everything
Clay
County,
has
changed
through
the
years,
but
one
thing
has
remained
the
same.
People
want
to
come
here.
They
want
to
make
their
home
here.
They
want
to
raise
their
children
in
Clay.
W
County
people
recognize
the
quality
of
our
school
system.
Just
like
I
did.
Quality
schools
are
an
essential
factor
when
people
decide
to
establish
a
residence.
24
districts
have
voted
to
tax
themselves
to
better
support
their
local
schools.
That's
how
important
schools
are
to
districts.
It's
no
secret
that
florida
ranks
45th
nationwide
and
educational
funding.
That's
been
going
on
for
a
while.
W
So
we've
been
in
a
budget
shortage
for
a
long
time
like
the
majority
of
public
schools
who
struggle
yearly
with
lack
of
funds
are
necessary
and
costly
repairs
have
continued
to
accumulate.
I
was
a
little
astounded
by
the
figure.
318
million
I
thought
it
was
more
like
300
million,
but
it's
understandable.
W
So
why
is
this
happening?
I
went
online
and
I
looked
on
the
do
a
website
and
I
found
the
little
PDF
that
explains
the
budget
about
the
Pico
funds
and
found
out
that
last
year,
Tallahassee
appropriated
145
million
two
hundred
and
eighty
six
thousand
two
hundred
dollars
from
Peco
funds
to
charter
schools.
Ten
percent
of
our
children
in
Florida
go
to
charter
schools
that
same
year
they
budgeted
50
million
to
all
the
public
schools
of
those
Peco
funds.
Ninety
percent
of
the
children
in
Florida
go
to
public
schools,
so
50
million
to
us
this
year.
W
As
you
said,
zero
to
us
zero
funds
for
Pico,
which
it
clearly
says
right
there
on
the
PDF,
which
I
felt
like
I,
was
getting
an
education,
remodeling
renovation,
maintenance,
repairs
and
site
improvements.
Well,
everybody
needs
those.
If
you
have
a
home,
you
know
you
got
to
do
it.
You
can't
just
let
the
roof
leak.
So
what
do
we
do?
Tallahassee
does
not
care
if
our
roof
leaks.
W
If
our
air
conditioning
is
broken,
if
our
wood
is
rotted,
if
our
schools
continue
to
deteriorate,
but
we
should
care
the
presentation
laid
out,
the
repair
needs
that
doesn't
even
include
new
schools
as
citizens.
We
all
want
to
control
where
our
hard-earned
money
goes,
but
local
taxes
for
local
schools
is
a
good
way
to
do
that.
It
stays
here
and
it's
all
been
laid
out
exactly
what
it's
going
to
be
used
for.
X
Smitty
Huffman,
you
have
my
address
on
the
card
pretty
much
about
3/4
of
what
I
was
going
to
say.
He's
already
been
said.
So
I'll
highlight
a
few
things.
My
statistics
are
close
to
what
I've
heard,
but
not
exactly
I
thought
we
were
47th
and
teacher
pay
in
this
in
the
United
States
in
Florida
and
I
thought
we
were
46th
and
per
pupil
expenditures.
I
do
know
that
the
pupil
expenditures
is
equivalent
to
what
Florida
did
in
2008,
okay.
X
So
when
you
have
a
nine
percent
drop
in
funding,
it
has
to
come
from
somewhere,
I
teach
it
affordable,
I'm,
one
of
the
nine
hundred
and
change
my
portable
also
I
think
they
have
it
all
the
time
where
I've
tried
to
figure
out
how
to
go
around
it
but
I
get
80
degree,
weather
or
80
degrees
in
my
portable
before
the
end
of
the
day
as
well.
Of
course,
I
have
third
grader
little
linoleum
lizards
running
around
and
basically
400
million
was
given
to
charter
schools
right
and
zero
in
Pico
funding
total.
X
X
X
We
won't
ever
have
time
to
establish
a
police
department,
Clay
County,
that's
a
myth,
also
you're
going
to
go
to
jail.
If
you
don't
do
it
right,
that's
for
all
you
school
board
members
there's
over
900
years
of
experience
in
that
Police,
Department
and
I've.
Had
people
come
to
me
and
say
they
don't
want
rent-a-cops,
they
don't
want
mall
cops
and
they
don't
have
a
clue
that
everybody
in
that
police
department
are
certified.
X
Law
enforcement
officers
and,
like
I,
said
I,
think
the
lowest
has
at
least
five
years
of
law
enforcement
experience
out
of
the
47
that
have
been
hired.
So
that's
an
urban
myth.
One
of
the
school
board
members
is
driving,
oh
by
the
way
I
heard
the
same
one
except
you're,
driving
a
car,
a
brand
new
charger
with
tinted
windows.
So
you
can't
be
seen.
X
A
X
Are
people
that
are
lying
about
what
the
school
system
does
I
respectfully
can
disagree
with
you
if
you
have
a
different
philosophy:
I,
don't
respect
for
you
and
I
actually
lost
some
people
that
I
thought
were
friends
because
they
lied
about
me
and
I
won't
associate
with
them
again.
So,
hopefully
you
guys
can
approve
putting
on
a
referendum,
so
the
sentences
of
Clay
County
can
decide
themselves
whether
they
want
to
do
an
increase
and
I
think
some
of
them
are
confusing.
X
This
underfunded
state
mandate
that
you
had
to
use
the
one
mill
for
basically
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
a
politically
knee-jerk
reaction
to
put
school
security
into
schools,
which
honestly
was
needed,
but
probably
not
in
the
manner
by
which
it's
done
by
the
Florida
legislators.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
and
I
appreciate
everything
you
do.
Hopefully,
you'll
go
for
the
half
set.
Thank.
D
M
D
O
Right,
thank
you.
I
move
approval
of
the
resolution
regarding
a
school
capital
outlay,
1/2
cent
discretionary
sales
surtax
requesting
the
Clay
County
Board
of
County
Commissioners
call
a
special
referendum
election
to
submit
the
question
to
the
voters
of
the
county,
authorizing
an
expenditure
of
funds
paid
to
the
Clay
County
Supervisor
of
Elections
to
cover
the
cost
of
a
special
election
and
directing
the
school
board
attorney
and
superintendent
to
notify
the
Florida
office
of
program
policy,
analysis
and
government
accountability
of
the
action
taken
here
tonight
and
immediately
beginning
the
required
audit
process.
L
O
That's
great,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
say
thank
you
to
dr.
legato
and
dr.
Kemp
for
these
presentations.
We
saw
tonight
and
thank
you
to
dr.
Kemp's
team
for
what
they
put
up
with
every
day,
with
all
of
the
things
that
are
literally
falling
apart
in
our
County
I
mean
we
see
it
when
we
walk
through
the
schools
and
we
hear
complaints
from
employees
when
they
reach
out
to
us.
You
see
it
on
a
day-to-day
basis
constantly
and
so
you're
keeping
us
together
and
keeping
us
operating,
and
we
really
appreciate.
O
We
know
it's
a
lot
of
work
and
a
lot
of
band-aids.
So
thank
you.
You
know.
We've
talked
about
this
now
last
month
at
our
agenda
review
and
our
meeting,
but
we've
been
talking
about
it
for
two
years.
I
think
it's
probably
one
of
the
first
things
when
mr.
Davis
and
dr.
Kemp
came
and
we
they
realized,
like
dr.
Kemp,
said
wow.
What
have
you
been
doing?
You
know
the
disbelief
of
the
condition
of
our
district,
and
you
know
we're
so
blessed
to
be
in
a
district
and
mr.
Davis.
O
So
you
know,
we've
talked
about
it
and
we
need
to.
We
need
to
be
proactive
about
it.
I
personally
have
been
out
in
community
just
doing
my
day
to
day
things
and
I've
had
people
come
up
to
me.
I've
received
phone
calls
and
emails,
and
like
tonight
the
support
is
there
and-
and
we
are
not
going
to
be
raising
the
taxes,
we're
asking
the
voters,
we're
asking
the
voters
to
support
public
education
and
I
believe
it's
the
right
thing
for
school
board
to
do
school
board.
O
I
really
believe
now
is
the
time,
because
the
need
is
there.
We
can't
just
keep
ignoring
it
and
try
to
fix
it
and
hope
that
it
holds
out
for
another
six
months.
So
we
need
to
be
proactive.
As
dr.
Kemp
said
tonight,
there's
20
something
24
districts
that
have
already
gone
out
for
an
increase
to
their
sales
tax,
five
of
them
just
last
time-
and
you
know,
I-
have
a
list
of
notes,
but
he's
touched
on
all
of
it
already
about
the
peak
of
funding
that
we're
losing.
You
know
that's
$900,000
last
year,
but
dr.
O
Luke
Oh
every
year
they
seemed
to
whittle
a
little
more
off
of
it.
I
think
when
I
first
got
on
the
board,
it
was
around
three
or
four
million
dollars,
Pico
dollars
that
we
received,
so
it's
gradually
gone
down,
and-
and
that's
just
one
thing
that
they're
not
funding
like
they
used
to
or
when
the
legislature
does
fund
it,
they
mandated
for
specific
things.
There's
unfunded
mandates,
there's
partially
funded.
We
just
can't
seem
to
do
it
anymore
and
we
are
really
really
doing
more
with
less
and
we're
at
the
point
where
we
need
help
now.
O
So
there's
never
a
good
time,
as
we
all
know
and
I
feel
like
this
is
the
best
time
for
us
to
go
out,
and
it
would
be
the
last
chance
to
do
a
special
election
I
think
a
special
election
is
really
important
for
us
to
go
out
on
as
opposed
to
waiting
to
do
it.
In
a
general
election
said,
people
who
really
care
are
gonna,
come
out
and
they're
gonna
put
public
education
first
and
they're
gonna
vote
to
approve
this
so
I
feel
like
we
can't
wait
any
longer.
O
O
L
Little
statement,
just
so
wouldn't
leave
things
out
first
of
all
good
evening.
Thank
everyone
for
your
passionate,
our
schools
in
our
district.
Regardless
of
what
side
you
might
fall
on,
in
fact,
if
the
county
were
to
currently
have
the
sales
tax
tonight
alone,
we
would
have
generated
revenue
from
each
of
you
went
out
to
eat,
purchased
a
new
shirt
or
the
countless
other
expenditures
that
you
might
have
made
I
to
impassionate
about
our
district
and
I.
L
Believe
everyone
expects
the
best
education
possible
from
the
Clay
County
School
District
I
also
believe
would
want
our
students
and
staff
to
be
able
to
attend
safe,
clean
and
up-to-date
schools,
issues
that
are
sometimes
voiced.
Our
first
stay
within
your
budget.
I
have
no
children
in
school,
and,
finally,
timing
I
would
like
to
address
those
through
three
items.
L
First,
I
have
one
home
in
Clay
County
than
the
most
house
three
people,
a
district
has
42
schools
and
at
the
least
houses
403
students
and
at
the
most
2495
students-
and
this
does
not
include
the
staff
when
I
needed
to
upgrade
fire
safety.
In
my
home,
I
went
out,
purchased
a
new
fire
extinguisher,
bought
new
and
upgraded
smoke
detectors
and
for
less
than
$200
I
was
done
tonight.
We
just
approved
approximately
a
million
dollars
for
parking
lot.
L
L
Second,
great
schools
make
great
communities,
they
raise
property
value,
reduce
reduce
the
crime
rate
and
make
our
neighborhoods
a
place.
People
want
to
live.
There
are
certain
roads,
I,
never
drive
on
certain
Clay
County
fire
departments
that
would
never
be
dispatched
to
my
home
because
of
where
I
live,
but
they
are
there
if
I
need
them.
We
are
all
in
this
together.
L
I
came
to
this
County
for
the
great
schools
and
lake
in
the
Keystone
area,
and
many
of
you
might
say
the
same
thing:
I
moved
off
of
the
lake
because
of
their
fluctuation
put
in
a
pool
and
added
water
with
my
garden
hose.
If
it
goes
down,
then
that's
what
happens.
The
schools,
however,
didn't
fluctuate.
They've
stayed
great
all
the
time.
Third
and
last
timing.
When
is
a
good
time
for
a
tax
increase,
I've,
never
heard
anyone
say
wow.
The
second
Thursday
would
be
a
great
day
for
a
tax
increase.
L
I've
also,
never
heard
anyway,
say
tomorrow.
I'm
going
to
be
next
door
to
a
tire
store
should
would
be
a
great
time
if
I
had
a
flat
tire,
never
heard
anybody
say
that
either.
So,
when
is
a
good
time,
Keystone
Heights
Elementary
is
getting
a
paved
parking
lot
this
year
for
their
employees.
It
is
school
that
sits
on
about
eight
acres
with
about
800
students,
not
counting
to
staff.
They
have
been
parking
on
an
empty
dirt
lot
for
decades
that
previously
even
didn't
even
belong
to
the
Clay
County
School
District.
L
It
recently
has
been
purchased
repurchased
from
st.
William's,
Catholic,
Church
and
now
was
being
paved
or
how
about
Keystone
Heights
junior
senior
high
school
that
opened
in
1974,
with
students
aged
12
to
18
or
19
years
of
age.
On
the
same
campus,
when
the
school
was
built
and
then
open
the
residents
were
told
next,
you
will
be
getting
a
junior
high
45
years
later,
the
residents
are
still
waiting.
So
you
see
we're
right
about
timing
and
we
are
way
past
time
at
least
45
years
past
time.
A
half
set
is
money
well
spent.
Thank
you.
C
Not
necessarily
whether
we
need
a
half
cent
sales
tax
or
not,
we
are
all
in
agreement,
perhaps
in
sales
text.
The
greatest
question
that
I've
had
in
considering
this
for
quite
literally
we've
looked
at
it
for
two
years,
your
absolute
great
mascara,
because
dr.
Kim
shared
his
his
visions
and
his
needs
with
us
two
years
ago,
when
they
first
did
their
analysis.
My
greatest
concern
is
the
fact
that
we
are
going
to
be
spending
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
to
do
a
special
referendum.
C
What
could
we
use
that
180
thousand
dollars
for
well
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
boiler
that
still
needed?
We
could
definitely
cover
the
cost
of
that.
We
could
cover
the
cost
of
possibly
maybe
repaving,
one
of
the
cafeteria
floors.
I'm,
not
certain
I,
don't
know
what
everything
costs
in
that
respect
and
they're
all
incredibly
huge
expenses
I
believe
it
was
miss
Boatwright
if
I'm
not
mistaken.
Who
mentioned
the
fact
that
we
need
to
take
our
time
in
educating
everyone,
who's
involved
with
this.
The
people
who
make
the
decision
for
this
mr.
C
Trahan
said
are
the
citizens
of
the
county.
We
are
putting
this
forward
to
the
citizens
of
the
county.
They
will
make
that
decision.
I,
don't
want
to
kick
the
can
down
the
road
we're
looking
at
30
years
of
a
half
cent
sales
tax,
we're
looking
at.
If,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
we
were
looking
at
possibly
the
end
of
August,
beginning
of
September
or
the
end
of
September,
beginning
of
October
for
this
referendum,
that's
a
few
months.
Yes,
we
will
be
able,
we
were
able
to
form
a
police
department.
C
In
a
few
months
we
were
able
to
get
our
millage
passed.
That
was
a
knee-jerk
reaction,
as
mr.
Hoffman
said
from
the
legislature
for
our
safety
and
security
needs,
and
we
got
it
done.
We
have
yet
to
see
the
millage
for
that.
We
have
yet
to
see
any
income
from
that
No
and
we
have
indicated-
and
we've
already
set
everything
up
and
we're
ready
to
go
and
personally
I
think
we're
spending
that
money
wisely
with
integrity
and
following
up
on
everything
that
we
said
that
we
were
going
to
be
doing
with
that
knowledge.
C
I
am
definitely
for
the
half
cent
sales
tax.
If
the
board
this
evening
decides
to
go
for
the
special
referendum,
I
will
be
behind
it.
A
hundred
percent.
My
concern,
however,
is
that
we're
continuing
to
talk
safety
and
security
and
something
that
we've
got
we've
established
with
the
millage
and
we
need
to
come
back
to
that
I
mean
that's,
that's
that's
a
probably
a
minor
part
of
what
we
would
be
doing
with
all
of
the
building.
I
also
had
a
question
for
dr.
Kemp
regarding
the
K
through
eight
school
in
Pawnee
and
Island.
C
I
was
not
aware
that
we
had
the
growth
necessary
for
that
particular
school
at
this
time
or
if
that
was
a
suggestion
for
a
change
to
Green
Cove
middle.
At
some
point
in
the
future,
I,
don't
recall,
seeing
that
I
recall
seeing
the
five
schools,
not
the
seven
schools,
Clay
County
is
going
to
be
facing
some
critical
changes
in
the
next
number
of
years.
C
With
the
first
coast,
expressway
coming
through
I
went
to
the
meeting
and
heard
from
all
of
the
participants
about
the
growth
that's
going
to
be
experienced.
There
are
a
lot
of
Clay
County
residents
that
don't
want
to
see
that
growth
with
the
first
coast
expressway
we're
going
to
have
a
choice.
It's
coming
it's
there.
C
We
anticipated
the
growth
quite
some
time
ago,
a
channel
on
and
when
we
first
opened
shadow
on,
we
have
students
there.
Now
it's
full
we're
planning
ahead,
but
I
want
to
do
it.
As
I
said
earlier,
with
integrity
and
with
thought
with
forethought,
I
don't
want
to
kick
the
can
down
the
road
we
need.
This
half
cent
sales
tax.
The
question
is
when,
when
can
we
do
this,
to
the
best
of
our
ability,
spend
the
money
to
have
the
special
referendum
or
wait
until
the
November
election
Thanks.
S
S
My
concern
is
the
timeline
and
that's
been
my
concern
since
we
started
having
this
discussion.
I
remember
talking
about
the
potential
for
a
sales
tax
in
my
first
term.
That
was
a
point
of
discussion.
We
had
at
one
point,
but
there
was
no
appetite
from
the
majority
of
the
board
to
go
forward
with
it
at
that
point.
So
the
need
has
has
been
there
since
I
ran
for
office
five
years
ago,
and
it
was
something
that
I've
talked
to
constituents
about
then
and
I've
never
stopped.
I've
always
seen
the
need
for
that.
S
I
just
really
strongly
feel
that
when
you
set
up
a
special
election,
there's
a
certain
amount
of
distrust
that
that
creates
with
the
community
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we
have
the
capacity
for
that
right
now.
As
far
as
I
really
think
that
we
need
to
be
working
towards
building
that
trust
with
our
community
and
educating
them
on
everything.
We
just
saw
I
would
love
to
see
some
town
hall
sessions,
not
just
in
our
schools
but
out
in
the
community,
showing
them
the
need.
S
O
Before
you
speak,
I
just
want
to
clarify
a
couple
of
speakers
did
say
it
I'm
miss
bola
did
also
about
a
full
one-cent
going
out
on
that.
We
can't
do
that,
as
the
max
you
can
do
is
a
half
cent,
so
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
out
there
and
clarify
that
and
there's
one
other
thing
we
lost
six
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
earmarked
for
copper
gate
Elementary.
Also,
it's
didn't
even
think
of
that
one
tonight,
but
just
made
me
think
of
that.
D
D
Having
served
on
the
school
board
for
many
years,
there's
you
know
been
criticism.
Why
didn't
y'all
do
this
earlier?
You
know
why?
Don't
you
ask
Miss
Studdard
why
the
schools
are
in
such
disrepair?
She's
been
on
the
board.
You
know
since
time
began.
Well,
that's
her
that
we
didn't
have
the
money.
Then
either
we
have
kicked
the
can
down
the
road
year
after
year
after
year,
we
went
out
for
the
millage
instead
of
a
sales
tax
because
of
parkland
we
had
to
do
something
is
every
other
district
in
the
state
of
Florida?
D
Did
the
beautiful
thing
about
a
sales
tax?
Is
that
it's
not
just
the
Clay
County
citizens
who
are
paying
it?
People
who
come
in
buy
automobiles
in
Clay
County
who
shop
at
Orange,
Park
Mall,
who
come
into
our
County
for
to
see
the
movies,
whatever
the
reason
they're
gonna
help
us
be
able
to
do
things
for
our
schools.
I
know
it
at
the
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollar
cost
I
think
that
was
Mitch
about
miss
Bella
that
she
was
concerned
about
that.
D
But
I'm
gonna
tell
you
if
I
could
spend
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
dollars
and
see
the
kind
of
return
that
we
could
get
for
our
school
system.
I.
Think
that's
a
small
price
to
pay.
There's
too
many
things,
those
those
pictures
that
dr.
Kemp
showed
are
absolutely
horrifying
and
we
don't
have
the
money
he's
told
me
all
year.
Let's
just
pray,
a
chiller
doesn't
break
at
Orange
Park
Highschool,
because
it
was
what
1.2
million
dollars
for
one
of
the
three
chillers
up
there.
We
live.
D
D
They
seem
to
be
taking
a
lot
of
pride
in
their
schools
and
they're
facing
a
lot
of
growth
over
there.
We're
gonna
have
a
lot
of
growth.
With
this
outer
Beltway,
we
have
318
million
dollars
and
this
isn't
paying
the
sky
dreams.
We
hope
we
can
do
this.
These
are
needs
that
we
have
in
our
schools
today.
Anybody
who
doesn't
believe
that
goat
about
the
Kemp's
office,
he
could
point
it
out
line
by
line
by
line.
D
O
Go
ahead
and
talk
for
a
bit
I'd
be
happy
to
so
some
of
the
reasons
that
I
had
put
together
as
to
why
I
felt
the
sales
tax
was
really
important
is
supporting
public
education
is
supporting
our
children.
We
know,
as
mrs.
stutter
just
said,
we
want
to
take
pride
in
our
schools.
Buses
were
mentioned
tonight,
we'd
like
to
have
buses
that
all
have
air
conditioning
and
video
cameras
in
them
and
we're
working
towards
that.
O
O
You
know
it's
more
equitable.
As
mrs.
Studdard
said,
everybody
who
shops
in
Clay
County
will
pay
that
additional
and
support
our
schools.
Instead
of
going
to
you
know
when
we
go
to
the
outlet
malls
were
supporting
st.
John's,
their
schools.
So
mr.
Davis
back
to
the
copper
gate
thing
the
governor
vetoed
that
six
hundred
and
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
Performing
Arts
six.
M
G
Know
that
was
here
that
was
additional
funding
that
we
were
going
to
to
put
into
copper
gate
to
expand
the
visual
Performing
Arts
from
a
structural
standpoint.
So
right
now
we
do
have
additional
teachers
going
in
for
the
1920
school
year.
Well,
I'll
have
some
visual
performing
arts
offerings
from
our
teachers
before
dinner
after
school,
and
we
will
look
and
look
at
facilities
plan
to
see
what
we
can
do
to
address
those
needs
to
expose
our
children
to
those
types
of
practices.
G
However,
that's
funding
that
that
we
won't
be
able
to
do
to
have
in
order
to
create
some
some
real
nice
structural
efforts
to
help
our
children,
especially
with
equipment
as
well,
so
back
to
the
drawing
board.
We're
gonna
have
some
meetings
next
week
or
the
next
two
weeks
with
the
school
choice
office,
see
if
there's
additional
grants
to
go
out
and
seek,
but
you
know
it's
it's
unfortunate.
G
A
O
D
D
G
A
H
D
D
You
always
see
these
statistics
about
Florida
and
how
low
its
funded,
how
poorly
our
teachers
are
paid.
You
know
we
are
making
great
strides
in
Clay
County
word
we're
back
up
into
the
what
number
eight
in
the
count
and
the
state
we're
able
to
realistically
now
look
at
things
like
insurance
and
pay
for
our
employees,
air
conditioning
on
buses,
there's
so
many
things
that
we
are
doing
this
that's
good,
but
we
have
had
to
prioritize
and
squeeze
and
squeeze
and
squeeze-
and
you
know
this
is
about
our
kids
when
I
got
on
the
school
board.
D
But
a
few
years
ago,
I
got
on
it
because
I
cared
about
the
kids
in
Clay
County
by
George
I
still
care
about
the
kids
in
Clay,
County
and
I
will
go
to
my
grave
caring
about
the
kids
here
in
Clay
County.
My
job
is
to
try
to
provide
adequate
facilities,
good
teachers,
a
fine
education
for
the
kids
in
Clay
County
Schools,
and
that
is
my
job
and
I'm
gonna.
Do
everything
I
can
to
help
our
kids?
That's
what
it's
about
the
kids?
D
We
can't
get
lost
in
all
this
political
double-talk
and
people
getting
on
Facebook
and
saying
the
things
that
are
outright
lies,
and
then
they
don't
understand
the
difference
in
capital,
budget
and
millage
and
what
it
can
be
used.
For.
You
know,
with
this
sales
tax,
there
will
be
an
oversight
committee
and
I
guarantee
you,
those
four.
D
D
We
cannot
use
this
money
for
anything
other
than
what
it
is
stated
in
law
that
we
must
use
it
for
this
Oversight
Committee.
If
you
don't
trust
us,
go
for
it,
but
first
Oversight
Committee
we'll
make
doggone
sure
that
every
nickel
of
that
sales
tax
is
spent
the
proper
way
that
is
supposed
to
be
spent
and-
and
and
it's
for
that
matter,
the
millage
that
we
will
be
getting
in
by
George.
Every
nickel
will
be
accounted
for.
There
is
no
money
being
wasted
and
are
you
taking
any
trips
anywhere
soon
I
mean.
D
C
Having
to
I
started
my
career
in
Clay
County
at
w/e
cherry
we're
setting
up
all
of
the
children
to
make
a
big
four.
Oh,
when
we
celebrated
our
40th
anniversary,
the
fight
and
the
children
at
some
of
our
oldest
schools
is
incredibly
strong
and
it's
just
as
strong
I
will
throw
out
there
as
the
pride
and
the
students
that
don't
buy
a
new
school.
The
money
that
we're
talking
about
for
copper
gate
was
going
to
be
creamed.
C
It
was
that
was
going
to
help
us
be
help
us
build
a
school
of
the
Performing
Arts
and
unfortunately,
that's
one
of
those
things
they
don't
mind
putting
off
for
another
year
to
be
able
to
think
about
it
and
replant
and
go
to
Tallahassee
and
keep
asking
for
that
money.
That
was
the
first
attempt
I
generally,
when
we
asked
them
for
money,
it
has
to
happen
once
or
twice
or
three
times
in
three
years.
The
student
pride
in
our
community
is
huge.
C
I
mean
I've
spoken
with
teachers
recently
who
said
well?
How
can
you
do
this
when
you
ended
up
going
spending
all
of
that
money
on
a
brand
new
logo
and
I
had
to
stop
and
say
wait
a
minute.
Wait,
wait!
Wait
that
money
was
donated
specifically
for
advertising
that
logo
and
for
replacing
some
of
our
things
we
didn't
take
any
we
didn't
take
use
money
to
do
that.
That
was
that
was
specified
for
that.
There
is
misconception
out
there
and
I
just
being
an
educator.
C
I
I've
lived
it
I
walk
the
walk,
I
spent
I
wanted
to
say,
I,
think
three
years
I've
been
sitting
here,
counting
in
my
mind,
I
think
it
was
four
years
actually
on
the
second
floor
of
the
WH,
sherry
building
and
every
other
year
that
I
taught
I've
been
in
a
portable
and
I've
talked
to
each
of
you
about
what
a
lockdown
and
a
portable
is
like.
I've
talked
to
each
of
you
about
what
it's
like
being
in
a
portable
during
a
horrendous
rainstorm
or
having
heavy
weather
drills
and
it's
heavy
weather.
C
D
A
S
D
D
S
S
A
D
M
I
have
a
couple
of
things
that
I
need
to
talk
to
you
about.
Just
briefly
before
you
get
away
from
me,
number
one
I
have
a
resolution
that
needs
to
be
signed.
There
was
a
vote
that
was
three
to
two
against
passing
the
resolution
and
sending
it
over.
There
is
still
a
choice
to
be
made,
even
though
you
voted
against
the
resolution
now
that
it's
bad.
O
M
They
voted
against
it.
My
point
is
mrs.
stuttered.
You
still
can
sign
the
resolution
if
you
choose
to
or
you
can
refuse
to
sign
it
so
if
I'm
going
to
pass
this
around
because
it
needs
to
be
signed
before
you
get
away
from
me,
miss
bola.
If
you
choose
to
sign
it
since
you're,
not
here,
and
since
this
is
going
to
the
county
tonight,
drusy
oh
I'm,
sending
it
myself,
you
can
authorize
mrs.
stutter
to
sign
in
your
stead.
M
C
C
Mustard,
please
sign
it,
my
name
by
consent
and
I'm,
going
on
public
record
that
I've
consented
to
this.
When
we
make
a
decision
as
a
board,
we
made
the
decision
as
a
board
whether
I
voted
for
against
it.
The
board
has
made
the
decision
and
that's
where
my
decision
will
go
so
please
in
my
stead,
I
guess.
D
M
There
are
three
copies:
I
have
three
originals
for
this,
and
the
reason
is
because
I'm
going
to
send
an
original
to
the
County
Commission
I'm,
going
to
send
an
original
over
your
signature
to
Oh
paga,
and
we
have
one
original
it's
going
to
be
maintained
in
the
county
office.
The
second
thing
is
you've.
Just
voted
on
number
2d
to
Human
Resources,
to
terminate
an
employee
that
employee
through
an
attorney
is
requested.
M
A
hearing
my
recommendation
is,
is
that
you
conduct
the
hearing
with
the
board
chair
as
the
hearing
officer,
rather
than
send
it
to
Doha
it's
less
expensive.
It
saves
money.
You
come
out
in
the
long
run,
with
more
more
personal
attachment
to
the
case.
It
would
then
follow
the
same
process
where
a
final
order
would
be
entered,
tended
to
final
order
Buner
by
the
board
chair
and
then
brought
back
to
the
full
board.
M
M
C
C
L
You
first
of
all
I'd
like
to
thank
the
public,
really
it
because
we're
we
take
one
of
the
funding
things
that
we
use
as
our
FASTA
conference,
and
it
was
wonderful.
They
had
a
workshop
about
the
Marjory
Stoneman
Douglas,
some
shooting
and
it
was
a
it-
would
stop
your
heart.
I
was
so
glad
that
we
got
to
see
it
because
it
was
reminded
I've
brought
us
back
to
reality
of
how
important
that
is
so
I
appreciate
that
also
I
went
to
Special
Olympics
banquet
had
a
great
time
and
they
are
doing
a
fundraiser
we're.
L
You
can
actually
sponsor
a
student
for
a
certain
amount
or
you
can
a
sponsor
a
piece
of
equipment,
all
kinds
of
things
so
I
encourage
you
I
know
a
lot
of
you
go
to
the
tip
of
cop
and
all
the
different
things
for
Special
Olympics
I
encourage
you
to
help
in
their
fundraiser
with
that
and
finally
I'd
like
to
thank
Ami
they.
Actually,
we
have
six
students
that
are
currently
attending
from
Keystone,
and
they
were
one
of
the
employees
at
the
high
school
received.
L
O
Don't
have
very
much
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
community
for
listening
to
us.
I'm
excited
that
our
board
is
moving
forward
with
going
forward
with
the
sales
tax
increase,
because
I'm
so
excited
to
think
that
we
can
finally
start
repairing
some
of
these
schools
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
citizens.
Please
consider
it
when
we
get
out
there
and
and
advertise
and
market
it.
Please
listen.
If
you
have
questions
call
any
of
us
we'd
be
happy
to
answer
so
just
wish
everybody
a
safe
and
happy
summer.
D
I'm
very
proud
of
the
board
tonight
and
and
I
want
to
thank
dr.
Kemp
and
dr.
lococo
for
your
presentations.
I
appreciate
the
comments
from
those
who
filled
out
cards.
It
takes
time
and
effort
to
come
down
to
our
meetings
and
speak
and
I
really
do
appreciate
y'all
caring,
so
much
and
state
sticking
with
us
and
chief
wagner.
I
want
to
tell
you
the
the
officers
Mills
and
Romano
and
the
back
look
very
distinguished
in
their
new
uniforms,
I'm
very
impressed
and
so
I
with
the
sounds
from
what
I
hear
everything
is
all
systems
go.
