As
a
group
of
citizens
Lord
to
steward
the
resources
of
this
district
along
Lord
and
decide
the
direction
that
that
we
should
go
to
serve
the
students,
First
Lord
and
the
people
that
serve
the
students
themselves,
Lord,
we
ask
that
you
be
with
all
that
are
bereaved
and
infirmed.
Lord
continue
to
be
with
those
around
the
world
that
have
been
the
recipients
of
atrocity
and
terrorist
acts
by
the
hands
of
cowards
Lord
and
bring
them
to
justice.
All
these
things
we're
asking
the
name
of
your
son,
Jesus,
amen,
I,.
C
B
B
He
holds
a
master's
in
social
science,
education
and
a
bachelors
in
social
science,
education
from
the
University
of
South
Florida.
This
gentleman
has
held
every
position
in
the
Hillsborough
County
public
school
system,
starting
with
that
of
a
custodian
up
through
classroom
teacher
assistant,
principal
principal,
every
assistant,
superintendent
position,
deputy
superintendent
and
chief
of
staff.
I've
had
the
pleasure
of
hearing
him
several
times
present
on
the
Florida
Education
Finance
program.
At
several
meetings
of
the
superintendent's
Association,
the
School
Boards
Association.
B
Really
and
truly
at
this
point
in
his
life,
he
works
for
the
betterment
of
those
districts
that
he
serves
and
does
private,
consulting
and
I
won't
go
on
any
more
about
him
other
than
he's
a
man
that
knows
what
he's
talking
about.
He
has
helped
lead
our
district
staff
through
a
process,
and
it's
here
tonight
to
illuminate
what
this
year's
budget
coming
out
at
our
high
C
would
do
for
us
and
give
us
some
good
good
information
to
base
some
future
projections
off
of
so
with
no
further
ado.
Dr.
Hamilton,
madam.
A
A
We
will
be
taking
yellow
cards
for
the
second
half
of
this
meeting,
so
you
can
find
those
in
the
back
and
you
can,
if
you'd
like
to
speak
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
or
on
the
special
meeting
item
d2,
you
are
free
to
do
so,
so
you
can
turn
those
cards
in
to
miss
Kornegay.
Thank
you.
Dr.
Hamilton,
good.
E
E
Your
situation
is
no
different
than
theirs
and
is
in
fact
a
reflection
of
their
realities
as
they
who
provide
us
the
resources
to
do
a
work.
I'm
gonna
review
a
few
things
sort
of
in
this
order.
I'm
gonna
go
start
with
what
was
just
past.
The
budget
that
was
just
passed
I
provided
significantly
more
detail
for
your
staff
or
try
to
simplify
things
that
just
focus
on
the
immediate
impacts
on
the
district
as
a
whole.
Here
I'm
going
to
then
take
a
look
at
the
next
year.
E
It's
a
process,
it
doesn't
in
some
respects,
ever
have
a
beginning
and
an
end
and
the
time
to
start
thinking
about
2017-18
is
about
the
day
after
you
adopt
your
final
budget
for
2016-17
in
September,
because
on
September
15th,
the
Legislative
Budget
commission
meats
and
they
adopt
the
three-year
financial
outlook,
which
will
essentially
be
the
basis
for
the
following
year's
budget
and
I
can
already
show
you
some
of
those
outlines
and
I
will,
because
you
should
be
able
to
see.
I
should
want
to
see
as
far
in
advance
as
you
can.
E
The
state
looks
three
years
ahead
because
the
positions
you
make
today
and
tomorrow
will
still
be
around
to
be
addressed
five
years
from
now,
unless
you
take
that
into
account
in
your
decision-making,
I'm
gonna.
Take
a
look
back
then,
at
how
you
got
where
you
are
and
how
the
state
got
where
it
is
and
as
simple
languages
I
can
make
it.
That
gets
a
little
more
convoluted
and
seems
like
when
I
say
it,
but
it
really
isn't.
It's
still.
Essentially
what
your
teachers
are
teaching
in.
E
Third
and
fourth
grade
I
have
a
fourth
grade
dan
granddaughter
so
I
still
know.
What's
going
on
at
fourth
grade
and
I
have
another
granddaughter
who's
trying
to
be
an
elementary
teacher,
so
I
have
two
ways
of
knowing,
so
it's
not
any
higher
math
than
that.
It's
just
decimals,
you
know
and
some
digits
place
values,
but
it's
a
complicated
process
that
got
us
where
we
are
and
it'll
be
a
disciplined
and
complicated
process
that
will
take
you
forward.
If
forward
is
where
you
want
to
go,
I.
E
Want
you
to
understand
that
some
of
the
monies
that
we
speak
of
is
our
monies
that
are
spoken
for
when
they
are
granted
and
point
those
things
out
and
I'll
take
questions
anytime.
You
want,
although
probably
if
I
start
an
end,
you
might
be
better
served,
and
here
this
answers
along
the
way
I'm
gonna
say
something
to
begin
with,
that
I
don't
want
to
forget,
because
I
think
it
is
of
utmost
importance.
E
That's
been
elected
by
the
people
of
Florida
to
lower
taxes
and
restrict
government,
and
that
includes
the
funding
that
comes
to
public
schools.
So
you
are
a
feature
of
that
process:
you're,
not
a
fixture
or
a
target
of
that
process.
That
is,
that
is
those
who
we
have
put
in
power
and
are
doing
exactly
what
it
was
that
they
promised
they
would
do.
But
the
people
who
work
with
us,
folks
that
are
on
education
committees
and
both
the
House
and
the
Senate
in
particularly
some
folks,
don't
have
any
idea.
What's
going
on.
E
E
Sometimes
the
rhetoric
is
problematic
to
me
and
I've
said
this
in
public
enough
times
to
feel
fine
about
sitting
in
public
again.
It
does
not
serve
us
well
when
we
focus
on
rhetoric
on
things
like
the
highest
funding
in
history,
because
while
that
might
be
a
mathematical
fact,
depending
on
which
slice
of
history
you
choose
as
a
comparison,
it
will
discuss
that
it
still
doesn't
leave
us
without
our
challenges,
because
the
resources
haven't
really
kept
up
with
all
that
we
needed
to
have
kept
up
with,
and
that
is
not
just
us.
E
First
of
all,
there
is
no
pile
of
money
in
the
basement
in
Tallahassee.
That's
a
parking
garage
down
there.
The
money
that
you
are
getting
ready
to
work
through
a
budget
for
is
money
that
will
be
collected
during
the
fiscal
year.
Just
like
your
salaries
and
just
like
the
mortgage
that
you're
going
to
pay
in
June
of
2017
is
based
on
the
salary
you
think
you're
gonna
make
in
2017
June.
E
So
is
the
reset
and
the
money
that
you'll
receive
in
the
by
monthly
payments
from
Tallahassee
money
that
is
projected
but
not
collected,
and
that
means
that
that
is
subject
to
change,
which
is
in
fact
what
happened
in
2007/8
and
could
happen
tomorrow.
You
have
a
tragedy
like
we
had
in
2001
on
September
11th.
E
We
went
through
five
special
sessions,
cutting
the
budget
that
here
we
had
to
in
2007/8
when
the
recession
crashed
the
budget.
Those
are
realities,
that's
not
a
guarantee,
and
when
you
plan
you
should
plan
with
some
contingency
in
hand
for
those
unforeseen
circumstances
that
do
occur.
The
state
provides
you
with
a
fairly
minimal
guideline.
In
that
regard,
you
get
below
3%.
The
super
NASA
notify
you
and
the
Commissioner
should
below
3%.
You
really
need
to
indicate
how
you're
going
to
get
back
above
3%
3%
won't
keep
your
lights
on
for
six
days,
more
or
less.
E
E
We
are
I've
been
in
that
position
to
not
on
the
receiving
end,
but
on
the
delivering
end
because
you
get
below
2%,
you
don't
have
a
satisfactory
financial
recovery
plan.
The
Commissioner
of
Education
will
appoint
a
panel
to
come
in
and
take
over
your
financial
operations
and
then
they'll
send
somebody
like
myself.
I
have
served
in
that
role
in
some
districts
and
I'll
come
in
and
tell
you
how
you
can
spend
every
dime
period.
That's
what
happens
it
ain't,
the
most
fun
you'll
ever
have
in
your
job.
E
So
all
the
things
we
do
have
consequences
and
we
just
need
to
run
a
sound
student-focused
frankly
giving
my
background
and
my
granddaughters
orientation
teacher
focused
and
staff
focused
operation
to
deliver
great
services
to
kids
and
do
it
with
the
dollars
that
we
have.
There
are
no
dump
trucks
coming
down,
I-10
with
money
that
isn't
happening
today.
It
isn't
happening
tomorrow.
It
isn't
ever
happening.
E
You
should
assume
that
if
you
look
like
I
do
at
the
trends
over
years
and
I
did
a
little
of
that,
for
you
you'll
see
that
that's
the
reality
of
the
situation.
Last
year
we
got
3%
increase
per
student
this
year,
1%
next
year,
I
project
0%.
Unless
something
happens
in
terms
of
increases
and
I'll
show
you
why
you
have
a
if
you
want
to
do
stuff
for
kids.
If
you
want
to
do
things
for
your
employees,
you
need
to
find
the
money
with
the
money
you
haven't,
spend
it
differently.
E
That's
what
I
spent
there
so
browbeating
your
staff
about,
and-
and
that
is
the
only
answer
there
is
because
you
don't
have
any
authority.
You
know
that
right.
You
have
no
taxing
authority,
that's
not
either
granted
by
the
legislature
or
by
the
people
in
a
referendum.
You
cannot
raise
money
independently
period.
E
E
E
Image
us
Minh,
twitch
has
not
been
restored,
will
not
get
restored
and
the
money
that
was
moved
from
the
employers
contribution.
They
call
it
to
the
employees
contribution
that
call
it
now.
I,
don't
really
argue
with
the
legislature,
but
I
know
that
when
I
go
to
church,
I
give
a
contribution
and
when
I
go
to
the
IRS
I,
give
it
an
assessment.
E
This
is
more
like
an
assessment,
because
I
got
to
do
it
in
church,
where
I
get
to
decide
so
I
call
them
the
employer
and
employee
assessments
that
was
set
in
hospital
five
thousand
five.
This
is
what
you
got
out
of
it.
You
got
an
increase
in
total
funds.
You
want
to
flip
that
switch
on
I,
don't
know
how
to
flip
switches
really
well.
So
we
just
kind
of
do
a
quick
graphic
illustration.
E
Your
total
funding
increased
six
point,
four,
two
million
dollars,
which
was
about
two
and
a
half
percent,
most
of
which
is
tied
to
the
growth
of
students
in
your
district
and
the
student
enrollment
has
increased
716
students,
which
pretty
good
percentage
growth
for
a
district,
your
size,
you
got
to
pay
for
those
by
the
way
they
don't
come
free
back
in
the
really
olden
days
before
I
was
in
these
kinds
of
positions.
It
was
not
uncommon
for
districts
to
take
growths
money
and
just
raise
class
size.
Well,.
C
F
E
We're
gonna
increase
the
Alec
I'll
go
up
to
kids
in
the
class,
and
then
we
got
this
much
money
for
raises
and
that's
what
happened
and
that
happened
and
that
happened.
Then
it
happened
until
the
people
of
Florida
took
the
matters
into
their
own
hands
and
passed
the
castle
and
as
a
class
size
reduction
amendment
some
14
years
ago,
and
now
that
can't
happen
anymore.
E
So
each
one
of
those
students
brings
with
them
a
mandatory
obligation
to
provide
them
with
a
teacher
at
the
specified
ratios
that
you,
as
constitutional
officers,
are
required
to
maintain
and
I'm.
Assuming
that
that's
what
happens
over
the
course
of
the
amendment
being
in
place,
the
students
in
classes
to
which
it
has
applied
has
shrunk.
E
I
have
lobbied
against
that
effort
for
a
variety
of
reasons
and
all
of
which
I
thought
were
sound
having
to
do
with
the
intent
of
the
Constitution
and
the
realities
of
the
budgeting
process,
which
you'll
also
see
in
just
a
moment
so
added
as
students
about
250
of
them
are
projected
to
go
to
the
Florida.
Your
charter
schools,
either
the
new
ones
or
the
old
ones,
but
regardless
you're
going
to
go
down
a
couple
hundred
kids,
and
that
is
a
positive
outflow
of
money
which
you
cannot.
E
We
cooperate,
that's
gone
to
your
competitor
and
that
will
cost
you
about
1.75
million
dollars
in
round
numbers.
So
now
you're
down
to
about
four
point:
six:
seven
million
dollars,
then,
in
addition
to
that,
you
got
to
pay
for
the
impacts
of
the
students
allocations
necessary
to
support
them
new
students,
the
ones
that
are
left
and
your
district
staff
estimated
that
costly
about
2.6
million
dollars
based
on
their
original
allocation
formulas.
E
Anyplace
else,
and
then
you
haven't,
received
an
increase
for
your
digital
classrooms
allocation,
and
this
was
an
increase
in
the
base
from
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
per
district
and
Lab
School
to
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
per
district
in
lab
school,
which
has
created
certain
discrepancies
across
the
state
that
sooner
they
don't
have
to
be
addressed.
For
example,
if
you
were
the
Broward
County
School
District,
the
Lab
School
in
Broward
County
students
will
get
about
$800,
a
kid
for
digital
classrooms
work
and
the
students
in
regular
Broward
schools
get
seventeen
dollars
a
kid.
E
That's
kind
of
problematic
to
me,
but
didn't
ask
my
opinion
about
that.
At
any
rate,
you
also
got
a
few
more
dollars
per
student,
roughly
$0.50,
a
kid
increased
with
all
that
money,
you're
obligated
by
law
to
spend
to
buy
digital
devices
such
that
every
school
will
have
sufficient
devices
to
deliver
the
Florida
standards
assessment
to
a
full
grade
level
at
a
single
sitting,
and
until
you
meet
that
standard,
you
can't
spend
the
money
for
even
any
other
digital
reason.
And
then
you
still
have
other
obligations
in
your
digital
classrooms
planned
for
that
money.
E
E
Your
staff
subsequently
after
we
met
last
week,
went
to
work
and
your
employees
in
that
in
those
positions,
work
to
essentially
neutralize
to
the
largest
extent
possible,
the
increased
cost
of
the
allocations
for
the
new
students
and
that
brought
those
funds
down
that
cost
down
about
2.2
million
dollars
and
that
I
am
concretely
sure
as
I'm
standing
before
you
is
not
a
precise
number.
It
may
be
up
a
few
bucks
from
that
down
and
and
will
certainly
change
this
I.
Don't
think
they're
done
trying
to
do
that.
E
I
think
they
have
a
commitment
to
try
to
double
their
result.
At
the
end
of
the
day,
you've
got
about
3.6
million
dollars
of
new
monies
to
work
with
a
large
part
based
on
their
work
and
and
and
their
commitments
to
your
boys
and
girls
and
your
employees
and
you
as
board
members
in
the
superintendent
and
I've.
Given
that
I've
done
that
work
with
other
districts
and
very
few
of
them
have
jumped
in
with
any
commitment
that
your
employees
didn't
of
that,
you
should
be
proud
and
grateful.
E
There's
a
couple
of
other
things
of
importance
in
the
budget.
That's
not
related
to
your
operating
budget
in
specific
appropriation
or
114,
a
with
a
million
and
a
half
dollars
allocated
for
specific
projects
for
capital
outlay
purposes
for
public
schools
and
Clay
County
got
1
million
dollars
without
for
the
academies
of
Clay,
and
most
districts
are
interested
in
VPK.
There
are
no
increases
in
funding
for
VPK.
The
base
student
allocation
was
maintained
as
it
was.
E
There
were
actually
no
increases
statewide
in
funding
for
your
workforce
development,
money
programs,
either
whether
yours
went
up
or
down
it
just
facility-based,
my
enrollment,
so
proviso.
Language
is
important.
I
point
out
a
couple
of
changes
there
I'm
just
going
to
keep
on
trucking,
because
this
is
not
that
complex
of
stuff
in
one
place,
the
provider
language
now
we'll
have
recalculations
done
of
the
big
categorical
called
the
exceptional
student
education
guarantee
and
the
big
categorical
called
the
supplemental
academic
instructional
allocation.
E
Since
those
two
were
created,
they
were
not
recalculated,
which
means
that
during
the
school
year,
if
what
happens,
you
get
a
fixed
amount
of
money
once
the
Appropriations
bill
passed?
That's
it!
That's
all
in
my
anymore,
more
kids
show
up,
then
the
PI
stays
the
same.
The
slices
gets
smaller,
but
those
two
slices
didn't
change.
That
really
was
moot
in
many
respects.
E
That
was
like
more
show
than
tell
because,
because
of
those
pieces
didn't
get
smaller,
the
other
pieces
had
to
get
smaller
still
to
offset
the
recalculation
of
funds,
that's
the
bottom
line,
but
that
will
be
a
certain
degree
of
uncertainty
there
for
sure
and
they're
both
being
done.
For
similar
reasons,
there
was
a
big
increase
in
the
allocation
for
ESC
students
that
was
subsumed
as
part
of
our
conversation
about
your
total
funding
increase.
That's
not
in
addition
to
that
and
which
mostly
ESD
programs
have
cost
more
than
that
anyway.
E
So
it's
still
essentially
an
impact
to
your
general
budget,
which
the
way
we
treated
it
here.
Okay
and
likewise
the
other
big
change
was
fifty
two
million
dollars
for
the
lowest
300
schools
in
reading
scores,
because
that
has
not
been
funded
for
these
years.
It
has
just
been
a
mandate
to
spend
those
monies
for
those
purposes.
You
don't
have
any
of
those
that
was
fifty
three
million
dollars
you
didn't
participate
in
now,
I
understand,
there's
a
superintendent
up
the
road
to
trade.
You
some
schools
for
some
dollars.
E
If
you
want
to
do
that,
but
I
haven't
seen
anybody
line
up
and
take
deal
offered
it
in
st.
Johns
County
to
me
they
didn't
take
it
either
the
federal
connected
student
language.
You
do
benefit
from
that.
There
was
something
put
in
place
last
year,
mostly
through
the
initiatives
in
Brevard,
Santa,
Rosa
and
Escambia.
County
is
where
I
also
work
and
benefit
through
to
about
five
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
was
sustained.
E
It
was
also
in
the
implementing
bill
and,
more
importantly,
long
term
for
your
planning,
because
that's
a
fair
amount
of
your
freed
up
money
House
bill.
Seventy
twenty
nine
assuming
the
governor
does
not
veto
it.
He
still
has
the
bill
contains
that
being
put
into
language
permanently.
Always
put
that
in
quotes,
because
it's
only
as
permanent
as
the
next
session,
of
course,
but
in
all
likelihood
it
would
be
maintained.
Now,
let's
look
ahead.
First,
let's
stop.
Okay,
so
far,
you're
not
to
glass.
E
During
this
session
there
was
a
change
in
policy
with
regard
to
local
funds
for
the
Florida
Education
Finance
program.
For
many
years
there
was
an
allowance
that
the
determination
they
would
hold
the
millage
rate
more
or
less
constant
for
the
required
local
effort,
and
if
the
school
taxable
value
increased,
then
that
would
generate
more
money
from
the
local
funds.
There
was
a
bit
of
a
dispute
about
tax
cuts
this
year
in
the
capital
and
don
Gaetz,
who
is
a
senate
education.
E
Appropriation
subcommittee,
sheriff
guy
from
my
end
of
the
panel,
was
kind
of
concerned
that
the
governor
was
taking
his
victory,
turf
or
the
tax
cut
budget,
while
he
was
allowing
property
tax
payments
to
increase
and
that
caused
a
bit
of
a
dispute
inside
the
Senate.
Other
senators,
like
David
Simmons
from
Seminole
County,
pointed
out
that
that
increase
had
nothing
to
do
really.
With
my
taxes
going
up,
they
had
to
do
with
the
fact
that
down
the
street
and
I
thought
passed.
Many
places
here
in
Clay,
County
and
I
saw
tons
of
them
over.
E
County
and
even
see
them
in
Leon
County.
You
know
where
there
used
to
be
five
acres
of
trees
on
the
corner
of
Park
and
Magnolia
in
Tallahassee,
there's
now
Starbucks
and
a
hotel
and
a
bunch
of
other
stuff.
Those
trees
didn't
pay
any
taxes.
Those
hotels
do,
and
that
was
what
generated
that
new
money
and
and
Senator
Simmons
argued
that
there
should
be
an
analysis
done
to
show
what
components
might
be
realized
by
an
increase
in
assessments
versus
an
increased
in
value
added
because
of
changes
of
use.
E
You
didn't
win
that
argument
this
session
and
if
that
remains
the
case,
and
we
have
shut
off
what
it
amounts
to
about
a
half
a
billion
dollars
a
year
in
new
revenue
which
which
is
kind
of
odd,
because
we
always
say
growth
pays
for
itself.
You
know
yeah.
Your
urge
to
use
cops
to
borrow
money
against
the
future.
Value
of
the
increase
in
your
property
value
is
caused
by
students
moving
here.
If
those
students
move
here
and
their
new
house
goes,
I
saw
someplace
wasn't
in
houses.
E
That's
one
hundred
two
hundred
fifty
million
dollars
a
year
and
general
revenue,
which
is
all
the
rest
to
state
money,
which
is
about
nine
billion
dollars
a
year.
We
have
to
share
that
pot
with
every
other
need.
There
is
out
there
and
we
are
not
the
only
needs
there
will
be,
for
example,
as
I
point
out.
E
That's
just
a
mathematical
fact,
and
it's
caused
by
the
fact
that
some
of
the
tax
cuts
that
were
put
in
place
a
year
ago
and
two
years
ago
were
back
loaded
and
increase
over
time
and
they're
increasing
more
rapidly
and
their
impact
on
the
budget
then,
are
the
projected
increases
in
collections.
There's
also
a
downturn
of
revenue
in
this
current
projection
that
was
done
on
January,
the
19th
that
funds
the
budget
we're
talking
about
now
for
1617
of
400
million
dollars
that
also
translated
back
and
added
to
that
problem
and
made
that
number
problematic.
E
I'm,
looking
for
my
specific
numbers
and
I'm,
usually
a
little
less
dopey
than
this
you're
going
to
have
several
increases
in
expenditures.
We
take
the
current
budget
and
roll
it
forward
as
it
was
passed.
The
total
general
revenue
budget
is
about
thirty
point:
three
billion
dollars.
You
roll
that
forward.
All
those
things
get
funded
and
then
you
fund
just
two
items
that
will
increase.
One
would
be
the
increased
26,000
students
that
are
expected.
E
That's
about
186
million
dollars
at
today's
dollars
per
student
and
you
roll
forward
the
replacement
of
the
low-income
pool
funds
that
are
going
to
finish
expiring
with
next
fiscal
years
about
forty
million
dollars
in
issues
budget-
and
you
add
those
to
the
budget
and
compare
that
to
the
revenues.
There's
a
fund
balance
of
a
hundred
million
dollars
that
fund
balance
is
normally
1.5
billion
dollars.
That's
what
they
normally
carry
forward.
E
I
am
Not
sure
that
their
policies
will
allow
them
to
appropriate
that
much
of
the
available
revenue
and
clearly
there's
no
money
there
for
other
increases
that
we
had
in
1%
per
student
increase
in
next
year's
budget.
As
we
had
in
this
year's
budget,
which
has
been
a
strain,
that's
about
205
million
dollars,
that's
more
money
than
there
is,
and
that's
not
the
only
cost.
That's
not
there,
not
the
only
cost.
E
That's
going
up
so
they'll
either
be
cuts
in
the
way
spending
is
made
some
where
there
may
be
some
fun
substantial
changes
in
how
health
care
is
delivered,
how
lip
is
dealt
with,
but
we
will
not
be
immune
from
the
impacts
of
these
things
and
I'm
just
telling
you.
You
should
start
your
planning
for
this
year,
assuming
that,
if
you
want
substantial
new
money
to
work
with
going
forward,
then
find
it
in
your
current
expenditure
and
change
the
direction
of
those
expenditures
that
fund
the
things
that
are
higher
priorities
to
you
and
what
they
were.
E
E
E
One
of
those
spreadsheets
is
statewide
revenue,
comparisons
and
the
other
is
Clay
County,
and
you
can
tell
because
the
title
says:
Clay
County
and
statewide
somebody's
looking
around
got
it
you'll
kind
of
want
to
so
here's.
What
we're
looking
at
we're
gonna
try
to
show
you
where,
where
your
budget
got
to
where
it
is
today
and
and
I'm
and
I,
have
a
state
chart
to
show
you
that
you
are
not
unique.
E
Now,
if
you
looked
at
the
state
numbers
for
the
same
comparison,
you'll
see
that
statewide
instructional
materials
are
about
thirty
seven
point:
seven
million
dollars
less
and
there's
about
a
hundred
and
seventy
seven
thousand
more
kids,
statewide,
so
you're,
not
different
you're.
The
same
I
might
believe
her
that,
by
going
over
each
line
item
for
a
minute
but
I
might
not
and
how
tired
you
get
a
hearing
it.
So
what
you
have
is
a
statewide
funding
comparison
and
what
it
says
is
that.
E
Let's
first
talk
about
historical
highs:
the
statewide
chart
shows
you
2023.
If
you
looked
at
the
statewide
chart,
Dunster
filled
in
column
farthest
to
the
left
and
I
put
that
there
to
show
you
what's
happening
since
class
size,
and
the
point
is
that
a
whole
bunch
of
money
has
gone
to
play
for
class
size
about
3.1
billion
dollars
of
all
of
the
money
that's
been
approved
for
the
last
fourteen
years
and
your
sheet
for
the
district
and
similarly
for
the
state.
E
The
next
column
looks
at
the
first
calculation
of
the
f
EF
p
for
2007
eight.
That
was
the
first
budget
passed
by
the
legislature
that
year
it
was
a
real
live
budget.
Marco
rubio
was
the
Speaker
of
the
House
Ken
Pruitt
was
the
Senate
President,
charlie
Crist
was
the
governor
and
they
passed
the
budget
and
they
signed
the
budget
and
you
got
the
budget
and
you
were
told
if
you
were
on
the
board
at
the
time,
give
good
raises
cuz.
We
gave
you
the
money
for
that
purpose.
E
I
believe
Joe
Pickens
was
our
little
chair
in
the
house
at
the
time
and
JD
Alexander
was
a
appropriation
subcommittee
chair
in
the
Senate,
and
they
were
great
advocates
for
public
education
and
they
put
a
boatload
of
money
and
they're
both
for
funding
the
increases
in
class
size
and
for
teacher
salaries.
That's
where
they
wanted
to
money
to
go
and
I.
Think
you
all
did
that
by
the
way.
I
think
you
adopted
the
budget
and
closed
your
negotiations
earlier
that
year,
you
were
done
before
school
started.
E
Only
problem
with
that
that
in
October
the
economy
crashed
pretty
thoroughly
so
that
was
passed
like
April
of
28th
I
think
was
of
2007
in
October
2007
that
legislature
back
went
back
into
special
session
and
they
passed
another
budget
that,
among
other
things,
cut
the
f
EF
P
about
two
hundred
and
sixty
five
or
seventy
million
dollars.
And
then
you
had
to
cut
the
budget
that
you
just
passed
and
deal
with
the
people
you
just
employed.
E
The
raises
you
just
gave
that's
what
you
had
to
do
and
then
that
wasn't
enough
and
when
the
regular
session
started
for
2008
during
the
first
week
of
regular
session,
the
legislature
went
back
into
special
session
and
passed
the
second
budget
for
that
year,
which
was
the
revised
third
calculation
and
that's
the
budget
that
they
have
determined.
It
was
the
highest
in
history
that
happened
to
be
of
the
FE
FP
calculations
that
occurred
that
year
there
were
seven
of
them
that
yield
to
the
lowest
dollars
per
student
average
of
the
seven
I.
E
E
Some
of
that
there
was
almost
600
million
dollars
of
Fe
FP
funds
that
were
cut
from
the
first
of
the
third
calculative
asteroid
calculation
and
you
just
figure
you're
1.3,
3%
of
that
more
or
less
that's
what
you
had
to
do,
and
you
had
to
do
that
at
that
point
as
March
the
8th
yet
like
three
months
left
in
the
fiscal
year.
So
that's
where
your
problems
began
in
making
comparisons,
I
added
some
other
information.
There's
a
third!
E
So
let's
just
look
at
your
chart
and
make
sure
you
know
what
to
look
at
the
first
column,
for
your
chart
is
the
first
calculation
for
2007
8.
The
second
from
the
right
are
left
rather
from
the
left
is
the
revised
third
calculation,
which
has
been
identified
as
the
historical
high.
The
next
column
is
this
current
year's
third
calculation.
E
We
don't
have
the
fourth
calculation
yet
should
be
coming
along
here
in
about
three
weeks,
but
that
was
what
they
had
at
the
time
the
budget
passed
in
the
earlier
session,
and
then
there
is
two
blank
columns
in
between
the
two
blank
columns
is
what
you
got
for
this
year
and
this
year's
budget
that
just
passed
and
then
there
are
three
columns
showing
differences.
One
difference
is
the
comparing
the
budget
that
just
passed
with.
C
E
First,
calculation
of
2007
8,
which
represents
all
the
budget,
cutting
that
this
district
had
to
do.
The
second
column
represents
the
historic
high
number
which
refers
to
the
cutting
you
had
to
do
from
that
point
and
the
third
column,
which
in
some
respects
is
the
least
consequential
for
this
discussion,
is
the
difference
between
the
budget
that
just
passed
and
the
one
that
current
fiscal
year
that
you're
in
the
third
calculation.
E
Ten
million
dollars.
That's
what
you're
done
period.
That's
it.
That's
the
number
I
didn't
make
that
up.
This
is
a
simple
spreadsheet.
I
know
how
to
do
Excel,
that's
good,
not
any
better
than
this
I
can
also
I
got
a
big
old
calculator.
A
number
of
thing
that
I
can
do
that
with
that's
the
number
nine
years
to
go
up,
ten
million
dollars
from
where
you
were
after
they
had
already
cut
an
additional
14
million
dollars.
E
This
means
at
that
point
you're
four
million
dollars
in
the
hole
compared
to
what
you
really
started
with
in
terms
of
your
budget
cut
and
that's
what
that
means
in
American
English,
oh
the
10
million
dollars
that
you're
up
from
their
historic
high.
You
had
1233
students
that
you
had
to
serve
and
it
cost
about
8.6
million
of
that
10
million
dollars.
E
There
was
a
allocation
in
that
process
for
teacher
salaries,
which
we
were
glad
to
provide.
That
was
6.1
million
dollars
and
right
now
we're
already
over
the
10
million
dollars
and
there's
a
1.1
million
dollar
digital
classroom
allocation
has
to
be
spent
for
those
purposes.
So
you've
had
three
had
to
do.
Is
that
were
more
than
a
total
funding
increases?
What
does
that
mean?
What
does
that
mean?
E
If
you
didn't
do
some
substantial
long-term
changing
of
your
budget,
you're
gonna
structurally
be
out
of
balance
until
you
do
and
if
you're,
assuming
that
you're
gonna
get
increases
of
four
or
five
or
six
percent
a
year
to
do
that,
for
you
I'm
telling
you
you
haven't
done
it,
it
isn't
going
to
happen.
I'm
telling
you
that
I
know
how
much
money
is
in
the
pipeline.
I
know
what
the
philosophies
in
the
direction
of
the
people
in
charge
and
who
are
going
to
be
in
charge
for
the
next
six
years.
E
Are
it's
not
going
to
change?
Only
thing
that
it's
likely
to
happen
is
that'll
get
worse,
I
can't
I
can't
conceive
of
the
economy
getting
that
much
better
without
fueling.
Some
kind
of
bubble
that
also
bursts
like
happened
the
last
time,
remember
that
that
bubble
at
burst.
When
some
of
the
money
that
went
away,
we
were
getting
four
and
five
billion
dollars
a
year
in
dock
stamps
in
general
revenue,
general
revenues,
fueled
among
other
things,
by
dock
stamps
that
went
down
or
something
like
five
hundred
million
dollars.
E
At
one
point:
a
billion
dollars
it
was
decimated
and
the
only
money's
were
coming
in
with
people
refinancing
their
mortgage.
They
would
lose
their
house,
but
all
those
houses
that
people
bought
on
suspect
to
flip
they
all
crash.
They
went
away
that
money
went
away
and
it
hasn't
come
back
and
I,
don't
see
it
coming
back,
I,
don't
know
how
many
more
parking
places
they
got
at
Disneyworld.
You
know
I'm
saying,
but
that's
what's
generating
the
economy
right
now
that
and
just
building
through
houses
in
the
villages,
that's
kind
of
what
it
amounts
to
you.
E
So,
let's
see
what
else
this
means
to
you.
If
we
go
back
to
the
narrative,
I
want
to
just
kind
of
use
it
to
help,
explain
some
of
the
items
that
are
on
the
spreadsheet.
You
can
kind
of
refer
the
two
if
you
like,
okay,
I'm,
gonna,
skip
the
very
first
part
of
that
page,
which
is
essentially
all
that
stuff
is,
is
a
narrative
to
the
statewide
chart
again
to
show
you
that
you
are
no
different
than
everybody
else.
You
have
the
same
problems,
the
same
duties,
the
same
opportunities,
the
same
challenges,
everybody
else.
E
E
That's
what
that
tells
you,
and,
and
if
you,
if
you
look
at
either
one
when
you
see
that
you've
got
1233
more
students
than
the
historic
high
64,000
less
dollars
for
Safe
Schools,
2.1
million
dollars
less
for
ESC,
857
thousand
dollars
less
for
transportation,
roughly
five
hundred
thousand
dollars
less
for
instructional
materials,
if
you
do
have
more
money
for
digital
classrooms,
but
you
have
to
spend
it
for
that.
You
do
have
more
money
for
class
size
reduction,
but
you
have
to
spend
it
for
that.
E
You
can
see
that
embedded
in
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
your
operating
budget,
there's
some
structural
shortages
and
you
will
have
had
to
made
cuts
inside
your
budget
to
essentially
reverse
those
negatives
to
restabilized
your
budget.
That's
what
you
have
to
do
and
to
the
extent
that
you
didn't
you
spent
fund
balance
or
you
didn't
provide,
raises
or
whatever.
But
you
can't
do
those
things
without
creating
your
own
money.
E
If
you
go
onto
the
back
page
again,
we're
taking
a
look
at
these
kinds
of
things,
I
tried
to
find
another
way
to
say
this,
so
I'm
gonna
skip
down
to
the
bottom
half
of
the
page
and
as
I
starts
on
the
third
paragraph,
I'm
going
to
semi.
Read
this
to
you,
which
is
insulting
and
I
apologize,
there's
another
way
to
analyze
what
happened
to
you.
E
It's
a
little
different
than
what's
in
the
chart,
I
advise
the
governor's
staff
one
time
that
they
should
be
measuring
their
budgets,
not
based
on
a
comparison
to
the
historical
high
but
the
historical
low,
because
what
he
was
responsible
for
was
filling
the
hole
he
wasn't
responsible
for
what
was
before
the
hole.
They
didn't
see
the
logic
and
that
I
thought
it
was
pristine
myself,
because
it's
true
and
that's
what
this
is
telling
you
right
here.
This
is
taking
you
to
the
deepest
hole.
E
Remember
that
when
I
adjust
when
the
budgets
crashed
when
the
economy
crashed,
we
had
these
temporary
measures
in
place,
the
very
controversial
stimulus
package,
the
American
Recovery
and
Reinvestment
Act.
It's
very
controversial,
but
we
cashed
the
checks.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
cashed
the
checks
so
so
much
for
controversy.
We
took
the
money
it's
about
eight
hundred
and
ninety
million
eight
hundred
fifty
million
dollars
a
year.
The
legislature
spread
it
over
two
years.
The
notion
was:
there's
a
big
hole.
We're
going
to
fall
in,
let's
throw
some
boards
across
the
hole,
but
you
can't.
E
Because
the
hole
is
not
going
away
and
then
the
next
year
there
was
a
teacher
jobs
package
which
we
were
instructed
that
time
Denise
Grimsley
was
our
house
big,
chair,
House,
Appropriations,
chair
and
JD
was
the
big
chair
in
the
Senate.
He
said:
don't
spend
that
money
this
year
is
to
plant
local
dollars,
because
you
can't
care
the
teacher
jobs
funds
forward
because
that's
going
to
be
the
thirst.
E
First,
three
percent
of
the
f
vfp
next
year,
I
was
sitting
in
the
Legislative
Budget
Committee
hearing
when
he
said
that
I
can
already
say
that,
because
it's
logical
that
was
another
board
over
the
gorge
and
the
FRS
rates
were
cut
that
year
and
the
changes
were
made
and
how
our
employees
were
compensated
and
essentially
reduced.
Now
is
another
850
million
dollars
a
year,
but
that
was
temporary
because
one
of
the
things
they
quit
doing
that
year
was
funding
the
unfunded
actuarial
liability
in
the
FRS
unfunded
that
word
unfunded.
E
That
means
they
run
out
of
money.
They
can't
do
that
forever
and
they
only
did
that
for
a
year.
So
then
I
started
to
put
that
money
back
in
place
and
they
didn't
call
it
a
contribution
or
anything.
They
just
said
your
rates
are
going
up
and
they
didn't
put
any
numbers
in
the
FP
FP
saying
you
got
less
money,
although
when
they
took
the
cut,
they
did
put
something
in
the
FDF.
He
says
you
got
more
money,
but
when
they
took
the
money
back,
they
didn't
put
any
money.
E
What
happened
in
2011-12,
you
were
at
about
220
1.7
million
dollars
in
total
potential
funds.
That's
after
the
third
calculation
after
you
had
a
chance
to
actually
count
your
kids,
because
you
lost
them
that
here,
that
is
about
42
point:
1
million
dollars
below
that
budget.
That
started
this
process,
the
real
first
calculation
of
2007/8.
E
So
without
any
bridges
you
would
have
had
to
cut
42
point
1
million
dollars
of
what
was
then
a
263
million
dollar
budget.
That's
why
that's
why
they
put
temporary
measures
in
place
that
was
pretty
traumatic.
They
tried
to
buffer
to
schools,
teachers
and
students
from
those
impacts,
but
that's
what
you
would
have
had
to
do.
Then
I,
don't
know
what
you
did.
I
didn't
go
back,
then
you
didn't
have
enough
money
to
pay
me
that
much
it's
a
lot
of
work
and
not
terribly
relevant.
E
You
know
what's
gone
on
err,
you
can
find
out
easily.
You
know,
but
we
do
know
one
thing
that
did
happen,
and
that
was
that
that
was
the
year
that
they
cut
11.5
million
dollars.
That
was
the
impact
here
on
the
Florida
Retirement
System
rates,
so
that
hole
that
was
43
million
dollars.
Deep
now
became
thirty
point,
six
million
dollars
deep.
That
was
it.
That
was
what
they
did
with
the
hole.
Then
in
the
years
going
forward,
they
begin
to
appropriate
more
money.
I
can
I.
Have
it
with
me.
E
If
you
really
want
to
know,
I'll
tell
how
much
they
did
each
year.
If
you
don't
care
it
didn't
matter,
but
when,
with
that
new
money
came
some
additional
costs,
six
point:
1
million
dollars
to
this
district
for
the
teacher
salary
allocation-
that
was
a
must
spend
four
point.
Eight
million
dollars
has
then
restored
to
your
obligations
for
the
floor
retirement
systems,
and
you
got
about
1536,
more
kids,
which
is
about
ten
point.
E
Eight
million
dollars
in
costs
I
didn't
get
into
all
the
class
size
stuff,
and
so
they
just
rolled
it
all
into
your
growth
Kostis,
simpler
and
for
our
purposes
equally
elegant.
So
what
that
meant
was
you
had
a
hole
it
was
left
after
they
helped
you
with
Florida
Retirement
System.
You
had
a
hole
that
was
thirty
point:
six
million
dollars
deep
and
now
he
added
21
point
seven
million
dollars
to
that
hole.
That's
what
that
did
so
now.
E
Your
hole
is
fifty
two
point:
three
million
dollars
and
in
the
years
since
2011-12
you've
received
about
thirty
nine
point:
nine
million
new
dollars.
So
we
had
a
hole.
We
dug
a
deeper
hole.
We
filled
some
of
the
hole
the
end
of
the
day,
you're
about
twelve
point,
four
million
dollars
short
of
being
at
the
surface
of
the
earth.
If
you
haven't
made
twelve
point
four
million
dollars
where
the
continuing
on
go
reductions
in
your
budget
from
that
period
to
now
then
you're
still
spending
fund
balance.
E
If
you
stopped
spending
fund
balance,
then
you've
sort
of
reached
the
end
of
the
whole.
But
if
you
want
to
stand
on
higher
ground,
you're
gonna
have
to
dig
some
other
hole
somewhere
to
pile
the
dirt
up
to
stand
up
higher.
That
makes
sense.
It's
that
simple,
there's
nothing
complicated
about
that!
That's
the
reality
and
and
I
encourage
you
to
do
that,
because
I'm
just
got
through
telling
you
next
year's
going
to
be
well,
then
I
don't
see
where
they
have
money
for
one
percent.
E
I
hope
I'm
wrong
if
I'm
wrong
and
we
get
a
5%
increase.
I'll
come
back
on
my
Diamond
tail
as
an
idiot
really
and
we'll
all
have
a
good
time
out
party,
because
that's
the
right
kind
of
mistake
to
make
I,
don't
see
anything
in
the
data
to
support
that
as
an
outcome
for
sure
it
can't
happen,
but
it
probably
won't-
and
one
last
thing,
I'll
mention
because
I
think
it's
important
to
you
as
a
board
as
you
work
with
your
employees,
is
what
happened
with
the
flow
Retirement
System.
E
That
was
not
in
the
rate
bill
in
2011-12.
The
language
in
the
floor,
Retirement
System
was
regard
to
the
cost-of-living
adjustment
was
changed,
knowing
by
the
way
that
the
legislature
has
had
as
a
policy
objective
for
many
years,
closing
the
pension
portion
of
the
Florida
Retirement
System.
They
don't
believe
in
sending
government
checks
to
anybody
except
themselves
and
their
friends
I
had
anyway,
they
don't
believe
in
sending
government
checks,
so
they
want
to
close
that
out.
They
think
that's
an
obligation
to
the
taxpayer.
E
E
They
do
understand
the
sanctity
of
a
contract,
so
for
anybody
not
already
retired
each
year
that
you
were
in
place,
there's
a
formula,
it's
kind
of
esoteric
I'm,
not
gonna,
because
it's
boring,
but
the
bottom
line
is
this:
if
you
had
a
30
year
career-
and
you
started
on
July
1st
2011
in
30
years,
you'd
have
no
Cola
because
in
essence
that
reduces
the
Cola
1/10
of
1%
a
year
for
30
years
and
phases
out
completely.
That's
in
essence
what
it
does.
So.
The
new
hires
have
no
Cola.
If
you
were
an
employee
in
place.
E
July
1st
2011
just
make
this
stuff
up
now
like
it
was
meaningful
and
round
numbers.
So
it's
easy.
It's
not
quite
technically
accurate
I
do
know
that,
but
it's
sufficient!
You
were
20-year
employee.
You
work
10
more
years
after
I,
first
2011
you
dropped,
you
were
now
officially
retired.
Your
Cola
would
be
2%.
We've
lost
one
tenth
of
one
percent
for
each
of
those
are
the
10
years,
but
they
can't
take
away
the
portion
of
the
cola
that
you
earn
for
the
20
years
that
you
they
preceded.
The
change
and
I
could
do
that.
E
So
what
did
that
say?
I
went
around
for
about
four
years,
saying:
let's
just
gonna
go
away:
it's
not
what
it
said
is
that
they're
gonna
give
us
the
money
for
it
to
go
away,
otherwise
it
doesn't
expire.
It
says,
subject
to
the
availability
of
funding
and
the
legislature
enacting
sufficient
employer
contributions.
There's
that
word
again
specifically
for
the
purpose
of
funding
the
expiration
of
cost-of-living
adjustment
it'll
expire.
Well,
they
didn't
do
that.
It
isn't
gonna
expire
is
quietly
dead.
I
do
not
anticipate
its
grave
being
reopened.
E
It
is
an
effective
way
of
closing
the
pension
plan
because
you
would
not
advise
I,
don't
think
a
new
hire
anticipating
a
30-year
40-year
career
for
signing
onto
a
pension
that
they're
going
to
have
to
live
on
for
the
next
30
or
40
years,
with
no
adjustment,
although
if
they
were
as
excellent
in
the
stock
market
as
I
am
they'd,
be
better
off
because
at
least
they'd
have
dog
food,
they
wouldn't
have
no
food.
You
know
because
I'm,
not
any
good
at
that
part.
E
E
Think
you
have
an
obligation
to
new
hires
to
just
you
know,
make
it
clear
that
borrowing
a
special
session
to
raise
your
and
by
the
way
that
number
is
a
the
better
part
of
five
hundred
million
dollars
to
restore
it
and
do
all
the
stuff
I
think
it
is
anyway.
The
data
that
was
provided
at
the
time
it
was
cut
was
not
very
clear
and
itemized.
I
know
it's
a
great
big
number.
There
was
about
850
million
dollars
saved
from
the
change.
E
Closing
of
the
cola,
there
was
a
couple
of
things
they
did.
They
moved
the
retirement
age
back
to
33
years
and
62,
or
something
like
that,
but
but
those
were
relatively
minor
way
out
actuarial
kind
of
impacts.
These
were
the
ones
that
were
big,
and
this
would
be
very
expend
of
money
and
they're
not
committed
to
that
policy.
So
that
is
not
going
to
happen.
So
that
being
said,
I
think
that
I'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have.
I.
E
E
Do
you
understand
what
I
mean
by
that?
Joke
is
not
really
a
joke.
It
means
that
those
changes
are
not
easy
and
they're,
not
without
some
consternation
and
and
some
consequence.
But
if
you
expect,
for
example,
you
want
to
pay
your
people
more
you're
gonna
have
to
find
the
money.
If
you
want
a
better
set
of
academies
for
Clay
County
students,
you're
gonna
have
to
find
the
money
you're
doing
some
things
that
you've
been
doing
for
20
years,
that
you
just
keep
doing
for
the
next
20
years.
E
You've
been
doing
some
things
for
a
year
that
you
shouldn't
do
another
moment
unless
you
are
exquisitely
different
from
every
other
organization
in
the
world.
That
is
the
fact
of
life
and
because
we
always
did
isn't
the
only
reason
to
keep
on
doing
it.
I
learned
that,
well,
maybe
I'll
lose
this
weight,
but
I
learn
that
from
my
life
yet,
but
for
you,
there
are
solutions.
I
have
worked
with
districts
who
had
done
this.
E
I
have
worked
with
districts
who
have
not
done
this
and
they
struggle
and
sputter
along
and
their
academic
achievement
begins
to
flatten
and
their
fund
balances
dwindle
and
the
employees
become
problematic.
You
have
not
fully
rebased
your
budget
I'm
telling
you
that
I
saw
some
charts.
I
have
them
here.
Superintendent
can
give
them
to
you,
I'm
sure
that
kind
of
track,
your
your
revenues
and
your
fund
balances
and
so
forth.
E
It's
pretty
clear,
I
mean
there's
just
reiterate
another
way,
looking
what
I
just
said,
I
think
you're
flattened
out,
which
means
that
you
know
if
you,
if
you
you
had
some
cuts
in
place,
I'm
sure
you
did
you
had
to
you
would
really
be.
Would
I
would
have
been
here
and
taken
over
by
now.
You
had
some.
G
E
And
if
somewhat
stabilizing
and
some
of
what
you
did
was
just
simply
imposing
on
expenses,
you
didn't
make
things
you
chose
not
to
do.
The
question
you
have
to
ask
yourself
is:
is
that
the
best
decision
in
the
world
where
I
have
worked
I,
eventually
built
a
near
400
million
dollar
fund
balance
by
not
accepting
that,
because
I
thought
everything
should
be
examined
and
there
should
be
no
sacred
cows.
E
I
know
that,
because
I've
done
it
in
a
number
of
places,
at
least
this
conservative
is
Clay
County
Orange
County
has
had
two
elections,
Sarasota
County
has
done
it
half
a
dozen
times,
and
all
this
guy
has
done
it
for
more
years
than
I
can
remember.
Gulf
County
has
done
it
six,
you
know,
I
mean
I
live
out
there
with
the
Apalachicola
River
I
know.
What's
out
there,
places
like
us
can
be
Kennedy.
Senator
Kennedy
have
voted
sales
taxes
for
their
construction
money
because
they
don't
have
any
of
that.
E
The
point
is
the
voters
will
support
that
which
they
believe
has
been
thoroughly
vetted,
and
it's
pointed
at
the
things
that
they
value.
If
you
ever
wanted
a
windfall
of
money,
that's
how
you'd
have
to
get
it
other
than
that.
What
you
would
have
to
recognize
is
that
since
the
recession
started
in
earnest
and
we
reach
the
bottom
at
the
bottom
most
year,
the
average
dollars
per
student
decreased
seven
point:
nine
six
percent,
as
the
recovery
started,
the
average
dollars
per
student
increased
two
point:
four
one
percent:
that's
the
real
measure.
E
What
your
new
money
is
allowing
for
growth
not
to
be
messing
up
the
calculations.
The
next
year
the
average
dollars
per
student
increased
about
six
percent.
That's
the
year
that
we
got
a
billion
dollars.
Four
hundred
eighty
million
dollars
was
to
the
teacher's
salary
allocation.
Three
hundred
million
dollars
was
the
fr-s
rate
increases.
That's
why
that
was
so.
If
you
took
those
two
out,
the
increase
per
student
for
the
money
that
you
get
to
spend
for
textbooks
and
so
forth
was
zilch.
That's
a
fact.
Okay,
the
next
year
was
two
point
six
one
percent.
E
They
know
that's
bad
policy
and
bad
politics,
but
they'll
struggle
next
year
to
get
one
percent
and
I
don't
expect
see
in
a
year
anytime
that
I'm
still
doing
this,
there
will
be
more
than
three
percent.
So
if
you
want
substantial
increases,
then
you've
got
to
find
the
money.
That's
that's
it!
That's
the
deal,
questions.
H
I
can
think
of
one,
but
I
don't
know
that
he
would
answer
it
politically,
but
it
just
occurs
to
me.
You
know
you
hear
things
about
the
governor
wanting
an
extended
political
career
and
I
can't
imagine
for
the
life
of
me
how
that
could
be
very
lengthy
when
he
comes
out
and
tells
the
public
I'm
giving
more
money
to
schools
than
I've
ever
given
before,
and
this
is
what
we're
really
faced
with.
A
E
Got
your
work
cut
out
for
you,
but
you
know
what
you
got:
employees
working
for
you
to
make
that
happen
and
superintendents
committed
to
continuing
that
effort,
and
you
got
a
nice
community
and
you
got
some
great
kids
and
been
in
places
that
have
none
of
the
above
really
I
mean
just
in
tragic
condition,
and
that's
not
you.
So
you
got
much
to
be
grateful
for
thank.
A
G
A
Okay,
at
this
time,
I
would
like
to
call
to
order
the
special
meeting
of
the
Clay
County
School
Board
March
29th
2016.
This
time
we
have
one
item
for
action,
which
is
the
2016
2017
proposed
staff
allocations.
But
before
we
get
to
that,
we
have
a
number
of
yellow
cards,
so
I
would
like
to
I'll
call
you
up.
One
by
one.
First
card
is,
and
please
forgive
me
if
I
say
this
wrong,
it's
hard
to
read:
John
stell
mezack
did
I,
say
it
right,
yeah,
okay,
you
have
three
minutes
and.
J
Good
afternoon,
everybody
and
members
of
the
board
I'm
addressing
you
today
in
hopes
to
encourage
you
to
reconsider,
cutting
three
career
specialist
positions
in
Clay,
County
I
understand
these
cuts
approved
the
job
duties
that
are
currently
done
by
career
specialists
will
be
absorbed
by
guidance,
counselors
and
Academy.
Coaches
guidance
counselors,
as
we
all
know,
are
already
overwhelmed
with
their
workloads
and
to
the
point
that
they
cannot
necessarily
deal
with
with
that
workload.
J
I
myself
have
dealt
with
this,
as
my
students
in
Clay
County
Schools
in
high
school
have
had
a
number
of
problems
dealing
with
legal
documents
dealing
with
getting
information
to
colleges.
I
have
a
senior
this
year,
where
she's
going
to
be
in
going
to
college
and
hopefully
dealing
with
an
athletic
scholarship.
That
being
said,
we've
had
a
lot
of
back
and
forth
sand
misses
and
communication
that
have
led
to
a
lot
of
struggles
for
my
daughter
and
her.
How
many
deal
with
it
personally
so
just
just
to
make
it
be
known.
J
Personally,
I've
got
a
lot
of
help
from
these
career
specialists.
They've
really
helped
and
provided
the
needed
guidance
where
the
guidance
counselors
don't
have
the
time
due
to
the
fact
that
we
don't
meet
whatever
requirements
that
they
have
for
for
the
given
time.
The
career
special
has
played
an
integral
role
in
the
Academy's
long
before
the
world
wall.
Design
has
happened,
they've
been
here
and
really
helped.
Our
students
stay
on
course,
with
their
graduation
rates
and
have
the
ability
to
gain
valuable,
real-life
experience.
J
J
I'm
personally
active
member
of
the
Academy
IT
board
I
meet
with
the
board
quite
regularly.
Unfortunately,
I
wish
we
could
do
it
more.
That
being
said,
the
the
career
specialists
have
really
brought
to
bear
the
the
abilities
to
deal
with
not
only
us
as
private
citizens.
The
community,
but
also
our
business
partners,
they've
been
our
biggest
advocates
and
in
getting
partners
dealing
with
students
and
matching
students
with
with
a
career
path,
whether
that
be
through
partnerships
directly
or
dealing
with
other
stuff.
J
That
being
said,
they're
only
a
few
allocations
for
these
positions,
but
I
think
they
make
a
world
of
difference
to
our
students,
including
my
own
they've,
touched
and
change
lives
for
the
better
of
many
of
our
students,
I'd
hate
to
see
the
impact
of
losing
them
here
in
Clay
County.
Please
consider
voting
no
for
the
allocation
proposal
on
the
only
one
one
of
only
many
parents
to
feel
the
same
way
and
I
wish
that
this
was
at
a
time
period
where
the
rest
of
the
parents
could
be
here
and
say
what
they
have
to
say.
K
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Diane
cheese
I
met
my
certified
health
specialist
for
Clay
County
Schools.
My
colleagues
and
I
just
recently
found
out
last
Thursday
afternoon
that
the
school
board
would
be
voting
on
whether
or
not
to
eliminate
the
too
good
for
drugs
program
and
the
healthy
choices
program.
Along
with
the
5th
grade
puberty,
ed
programs
from
our
schools
effective
next
year,
I
believe
the
elimination
of
these
programs
were
to
create
a
gap
in
the
vital
education
of
our
students.
K
It's
upsetting
to
know
that
the
students
and
families
will
fail
to
benefit
from
the
positive
education
regarding
drugs,
alcohol
and
sexual
health.
I'd
like
to
read
you
a
list
of
reasons
as
why
they
need
to
continue
the
program.
The
average
teenager
has
been
exposed
to
more
sexually
explicit
movies.
Tvs
shows
games,
alcohol,
tobacco
magazines,
ads
and
materials
that
we
have
in
our
entire
lives
as
much
as
some
Americans
would
like
to
hold
on
the
days
of
Ozzie
and
Harriet
are
over.
Teenagers
are
bombarded
by
sex
alcohol,
tobacco
and
drugs.
K
What
they
are
lacking
is
health
education,
drug
prevention
and
how
to
make
healthy
choices.
Young
teens
are
notorious
from
misinformation
on
drugs
and
sex.
It
is
much
better
to
teach
children
about
drug
prevention
and
sexual
health
in
school,
rather
than
letting
them
use
other
resources,
such
as
peers
or
the
Internet.
K
This
is
important
because
avenues
such
as
these
soar
a
huge
amount
of
information
that
might
be
misleading
with
problems
such
as
teenage
pregnancies,
transmission
of
STDs
on
the
rise,
it's
only
appropriate
for
health
education
to
be
made
accessible
in
school,
where
most
children
can
be
made
aware.
Sexual
health
can
help
the
children,
understand
the
benefits
of
abstinence
and
how
to
be
responsible
adults.
We
experience
health
educators,
have
numerous
hours
of
training
and
are
constantly
learning,
constantly
learning,
researching
and
updating
our
subject
matter.
K
Many
regular
classroom
teachers
who
are
forced
to
teach
sexual
health
to
students
that
are
not
experts,
and
they
may
have
vague
ideas
about
sexual
health
themselves.
This
is
even
more
harmful
as
incorrect
information
is
extremely
lethal,
as
it
can
actually
leave
a
wrong
impression
on
the
students.
Children
have
an
impression
or
mind,
and
incorrect
information
imparted
at
a
young
age
can
actually
transfer
them
into
ignorant
adults.
The
fact
is
that
most
schools
that
that
most
goal
of
sexual
health
and
drug
prevention
is
treated
like
an
extracurricular
course
and
not
a
primary
one.
K
If
the
authorizing
body
is
not
serious
about
it,
then
they
cannot
expect
the
students
or
the
teachers
or
be
interested
in
either.
I
know
that
my
time
is
running
short,
so
I
will
end
with
this.
School
is
not
about
repairing
all
social
evil.
Evils
is
about
repairing
one,
the
evil
about
ignorant.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
educate
our
youth,
I
implore
you
to
fight
for
the
continuation
of
these
programs
and
see
the
value
of
their
services.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
K
L
I'm
a
bit
short
good
evening.
My
name
is
Deborah
Lanier
and
I'm.
A
health
education
specialist
for
the
school
district
I
am
here
tonight
to
I,
really
would
like
for
you
to
list
please.
You
know
we
have
three
health
specialists
in
the
county
which,
right
now
the
proposal
is
to
eliminate
those
positions
for
next
year.
L
I
am
currently,
in
my
24th
year
of
teaching,
I
teach
fifth
grade,
all
seventh
grade
students
at
oak
leaf,
junior
high
and
Green
Cove
Springs,
junior
high
and
half
of
seventh
grade
at
Keystone
Heights
High
School,
the
Health
Education
Department
provides
elementary
puberty
education
for
fifth
grade
students.
The
seventh
grade
too
good
for
drugs
program
in
the
seventh
grade,
healthy
choices,
program
that
correlate
with
the
mandated
health
state
standards.
L
Our
County
health
education
programs
present
clear,
unbiased
information
to
elementary
and
junior
high
students
about
a
wide
variety
of
topics
necessary
for
them
to
make
possible
life-changing
decisions.
This
information
is
up-to-date
and
presented
in
a
nun
threatening
classroom
environment
conducive
to
learning
by
one
by
only
one
of
only
three
health
teachers
in
our
county.
The
fact
is:
health
teachers.
Like
me
present,
the
presenting
the
sensitive
state
mandated
curriculum
in
the
classroom
creates
a
greater
impact
in
students
rather
than
the
students,
normal
teachers.
They
feel
more
comfortable
and
asking
us
questions.
L
Many
of
our
students
come
from
homes
where
their
parents
are
unable
to
sit
and
have
discussions
about
the
topics
covered.
Some
parents
are
not
informed
with
the
up-to-date
information
that
health
teachers
present
to
students.
There
is
also
the
pop.
The
possibility
of
the
students
do
not
feel
comfortable
to
have
discussions
with
their
parents
about
this
sensitive
information
presented.
L
Some
students
unfortunately
get
an
accurate
information
from
the
internet
or
their
peers.
These
health
education
programs
are
necessary
to
present
accurate
information
that
they
most
likely
will
not
get
elsewhere
regarding
drugs
and
alcohol
and
sexual
health.
As
a
health
teacher
I
am
in
the
classroom.
Four
days
a
week
in
the
last
seven
months,
I
have
taught
seventh
grade
health
education
to
949
students
and
spent
eight
thousand
forty
ninth
classroom
hours
working
to
educate
and
promote
health
awareness.
Health
education
is
important
to
the
overall
health
of
all
Clay
County
students.
L
A
F
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Linda
Jorden
Mori
and
my
address
is
on
file.
I
too,
am
a
health
specialist.
That's
my
title.
We
are
actually
more
of
health,
educators
and
I
have
been
a
teacher
and
an
educator
for
Clay
County.
For
twenty
years.
My
compadres
there
did
a
great
job
of
explaining
what
we
do.
You
know
that
now
tonight
you
guys
are
going
to
be
faced
with
a
big
decision.
You
have
to
make
your
decision
on
whether
you're
going
to
keep
health
in
our
schools
we're
not
allocated.
There
are
three
of
us
without
the
allocation.
F
That's
not
just
a
cutback.
Our
program
is
totally
eliminated.
There
will
be
no
health
education
in
Clay
County
now,
I
know
that
our
County
does
have
a
large
number
of
specialist
positions
when
I
look
at
the
list,
I'm
kind
of
surprised
myself
in
the
moment.
Well,
what
do
are
all
of
these
people
doing?
However,
one
thing
that
I
do
know
is
that
we
are
out
in
the
schools
we
aren't
when
we
have
an
office
day.
F
Occasionally,
we're
pretty
happy
about
that,
because
we
finally
get
to
get
some
paperwork
done,
but
for
the
most
part
we
are
out,
we
are
serving
our
children.
We
do
the
two
good
for
drugs
program.
We
do
the
healthy
choices
program,
which
is
abstinence
based
hiv/aids
awareness
program.
We
are
at
all
of
the
junior
high
schools.
We
are
in
every
science
classroom.
We
offer
our
elementary
classes.
We've
just
started
doing
this
the
last
couple
of
years,
a
puberty
program,
so
that
because
the
teachers
aren't
comfortable
with
this,
so
we
want
to
provide
them
with
our
expertise.
F
During
the
2015-16
the
beginning
of
our
school
year,
we
did
the
two
good
for
drugs
program.
We
reached
two
we
reached
two
thousand
two
hundred
and
sixteen
students
total
with
a
total
of
contact
hours,
fifteen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighty-five
hours,
so
we
are
in
the
classrooms
last
year
during
our
healthy
choices,
because
we're
still
doing
that
program.
Now
we
reached
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
sixty-eight
students
with
a
total
of
fifteen
thousand
four
hundred
and
six
d8
contact
hours.
We
are
also
taking
care
of
Florida
State
statute,
one
zero,
zero.

Three
point:
four
two,
which
provides
that
we
need
to
in
our
set
in
our
county,
provide
education
for
alcohol
and
narcotics,
the
benefits
of
sexual
abstinence
prevention
and
control,
control
of
diseases,
and
also
in
grades
7
through

The
state
has
mandated
that
we
provide
information
and
education
on
teen
dating
violence
and
abuse,
and
we
are
covering
all
of
those
areas
for
our
students
in
Clay
County.
Please
reconsider,
allotting
our
program
so
that
we
can
keep
health
for
our
students
without
it.
It's
our
students
that
lose.
Thank
you
thank.
M
Ford
520
southeast
28th
Street,
thank
you
mm-hmm,
but
I'm.
Also
here
as
a
parent,
November
6
2008
was
a
day
I'll,
never
forget
my
16
year
old
daughter
was
killed
by
a
driver
who
was
impaired
on
drugs
and
alcohol.
She
was
13
years
old.
This
young
lady
was
when
she
started
taking
drugs
and
alcohol.
She
didn't
have
a
program
like
this
in
her
school
and
I
know
because
I
checked,
she
wasn't
made
aware
of
the
dangers
of
what
she
did.
Her
life,
of
course,
is
in
prison
now,
but
my
daughter
lives
no
more.
M
She
never
gets
to
graduate
from
high
school.
She
never
gets
to
do
the
things
that
other
kids
should
have
the
opportunity
to
do
so.
I'm
here,
to
beg
you
to
plead
with
you.
Don't
take
this
education
away
from
these
children.
They're
not
getting
it
at
home.
I
can
promise
you
that
and
they
need
this
education,
so
they
can
make
better
decisions
than
the
ones
that
when
young
lady
did
so.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
N
Another
opportunity
for
sus,
but
if
you
can
agree
to
that
on
behalf
of
Rena
leap
IVA,
the
CCA
has
reviewed
the
2016-17
allocations
and
has
the
following
recommendations
and
concerns.
We
would
like
to
see
the
hell
of
the
three
health
education
teachers
remain
in
their
current
positions.
Clay
County
has
spent
thousands
of
dollars
investing
in
these
teachers,
professional
development,
textbooks
and
workbooks,
and
compliance
with
Florida
statute.
One
zero,
zero.
N
Three
point:
four:
two:
the
statute
requires
all
counties
to
educate
our
children
on
alcohol
and
narcotics
and
benefits
of
sexual
abstinence
and
the
prevention
and
control
of
disease.
The
entire
reason
we
have
these
specialized
teachers
is
a
we
need
to
comply
with
the
law
B.
We
wanted
these
issues
handled
consistently
C.
We
wanted
these
issues
presented
uniformly
and
D.
Some
of
our
science
teachers
did
not
want
to
address
these
issues
because
it
is
in
conflict
with
their
religious
convictions.
N
Remember
we
are
the
only
County
in
the
state
of
Florida
that
has
a
special
Pearson
textbook
for
grade
five.
That
does
not
address
issues
such
as
STDs,
HIV
and
AIDS,
because
the
science
teachers
made
a
decision
years
ago
to
remove
these
subjects
from
the
textbooks.
We
are
now
expected
to
believe
that
we
will
put
these
issues
in
the
science
map
and
science
teachers
will
teach
it
I
know
better.
We
should
all
know
better.
Our
children
will
be
the
losers.
N
All
this
does
is
feed
into
the
archaic
belief
that
if
you
don't
talk
about
it,
it
doesn't
exist.
The
CCA
has
removed
numerous
has
received
numerous
complaints
about
the
addition
of
guidance
counselors
not
related
to
the
number
of
students
in
a
school.
In
fact,
we
have
two
concerns
here.
First
counselors
are
being
allocated
with
no
regards
as
to
the
number
of
students
in
the
school.
N
Second,
the
county
has
decided
to
hire
counselors
with
no
master's
degree
in
guidance
and
counseling
that
is
required
by
the
Job
Description
here
in
the
county
and
also
require
an
acquirement
for
the
do
a
certification.
We
would
not
do
this
for
school,
psychologists,
media
specialists,
administrators
or
social
workers,
because
all
these
disciplines
require
a
master's
degree.
Why
does
this
County
believe
they
can
hire
guidance?
Council,
based
on
who
you
know
or
who
you
are
related
to
this,
gives
miss
PI
of
a
no
pleasure,
and
she
did
go
into
mr.
N
barofsky
to
allow
this
and
to
not
allow
this,
and
please
do
not
put
her
into
that
position.
She
has
a
relationship
with
the
people
that
are
impacted
here.
There
are
always
alternatives,
but
that
would
require
collaboration
and,
as
usual,
we
believe
the
district's
idea
of
collaboration
is
they'll,
just
do
it
and
we
are
expected
to
agree.
We
have
filed
a
grievance
on
the
hearing
on
the
hiring
of
a
none
certified
counselor
number
three
year.
We
are
also
concerned
about
the
elementary
schools
are
again
being
made
to
choose
their
resource
subjects.
N
Ceb
has
been
designated
at
d
school.
So
what
do
we
do?
With?
With
this?
We
have
cut
two
teachers
and
added
an
administrator.
Does
that
make
any
sense?
It
is
a
D
school,
we
should
be
loading
it
up
with
instructional
personnel
such
as
teachers
and
I'm,
and
makes
absolutely
no
sense
to
add
another
administrator
and
then
finally,
the
CCA
recommends
a
pre-k
teacher
from
four
year
old
group
for
Grove
Park
Elementary,
and
believes
that
the
parents
would
be
grateful
for
that
in
their
area.
Okay,.
N
Okay,
I
enjoyed
the
discussion
earlier
for
mr.
Hamilton
Fe.
A
actually
has
good
relationship
with
mr.
Hamilton,
but
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
I
get
to
expose
the
elephant
in
the
room
in
Clay
County,
and
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
feel
like
I'm
qualified
to
do
that
is
because
I
grew
up
here.
I'm
the
first
graduating
class
in
Middleburg
high
school
when
I
came
back
here.
N
My
co
classmates,
so
I'm
going
to
tell
you
what
the
elephant
in
the
room
is,
and
the
elephant
in
the
room
is
the
good-old-boy
system
when
I
left
here,
I
had
to
say
how
many
years
ago,
but
when
I
left
here
when
I
was
18,
which
was
many
years
ago,
we
didn't
have
very
many
schools
in
Clay
County,
so
the
good-old-boy
system
worked
for
us.
We
could
between
nepotism
and
cronyism.
We
could
hire
our
buddies
and
keep
everybody.
N
You
know
happy
and
make
sure
that
our
friends
had
the
great
administrative,
high-paying,
jobs
and
and
just
kind
of
perpetuate
that-
and
it's
been
done
for
many
many
years
up
until
just
recently,
whenever
we
finally
started
to
realize
that
maybe
we
are
getting
too
big
for
that.
So
we
have
seen
a
lot
of
new
folks
come
in
and
we've
seen
some
new
names
and
new
faces
and
we're
starting
to
outgrow.
That
idea,
but
one
of
the
problems
that
I
think
goes
along
with
what
mr.
Hamilton
or
dr.
N
Hamilton
was
saying
earlier,
and
that
is,
we
can't
keep
doing
the
same
things.
We've
been
doing
so
the
idea
of
continuing
to
give
your
buddies
jobs
to
make
sure
that
they
are
put
in
your
buddies
or
put
in
positions
to
hold
other
people's
positions,
who
have
to
be
away
for
a
while
to
give
promotions
and
high-paying
jobs
and
raise
people
up
from
lower
paying
coordinator
jobs
to
higher
paying
coordinator.
All
those
things
have
to
stop.
N
We
have
to
base
things
now
strictly
on
what
people
are
capable
of
doing
if
we
are
still
putting
people
in
positions
and
they
can't
do
the
jobs
and
we
have
to
go
out
and
hire
consultants
to
do
them
and
we
have
to
go
and
find
someone
who
can
tell
us
what
we're
doing.
Then.
That
means
we
are
doing
things
incorrectly.
B
Hamilton
still
here,
I
was
able
to
thank
him
earlier
and
I
just
like
to
say
it
publicly,
even
though
it
looks
like
he
slipped
on
out
the
head
back,
West
I
really
appreciated
his
time
with
us.
I
think
we've
learned
a
lot
and
it
set
us
on
a
course
to
do
some
things
financially
that
we've
needed
to
do
for
a
while,
as
your
superintendent
I've
heard
a
common
message
across
this
district.
B
All
of
you
have
expressed
to
me
in
one
shape
or
fashion
that
you
want
to
find
a
way
to
increase
what
we
are
able
to
do
for
our
hard-working
employees.
I
want
to
do
those
same
things
that
you
want
to
do:
I
want
to
increase
salaries,
but
also
have
a
responsibility
to
balance
our
budget
along
the
way
and
get
our
financial
health
recharged.
Before
doing
so,
we've
come
a
long
way
in
the
right
direction,
but
we
still
have
a
long
way
to
go.
B
So
we've
brought
teacher
Lee
leaders
from
across
the
district
with
a
goal
to
reprioritize
our
budget
based
on
two
competing
needs,
one
to
ensure
that
we
have
the
programs
and
services
our
children
need
to
develop.
The
skills
for
college
and
career
success
and
two
to
position
us
for
financial
stability
in
a
sustainable
fashion,
with
85
percent
of
our
budget
going
towards
people.
The
fact
is
we
can
can
is
that
we
can
continue
to
have
more
people
and
pay
them
less
or
have
fewer
people
and
pay
them
more.
However,
we
cannot
do
both.
B
We
can
do
anything
that
we
want
to
do,
but
we
cannot
do
everything
that
we
want
to
do.
I
challenge
these
leaders
to
make
some
tough
decisions
based
on
the
following
questions:
how
do
these
programs
and
positions
directly
impact
and
support
improving
student
academic
performance?
Are
there
any
duplication
of
services?
Are
there
programs
or
services
that
can
be
delivered
through
a
more
innovative,
effective
and
less
costly
means,
and
are
there
any
programs
that
are
no
longer
needed?
Given
the
changes
in
our
instructional
delivery?
B
Last
year
we
were
presented
in
allocation
package
that
cut
almost
a
million
dollars
at
the
district
office.
It
is
from
that
point
that
we
began
this
process
again
this
year.
I'm,
proud
of
the
fact
that
Clay
County
is
one
of
the
top
two
districts
in
the
state
of
Florida
and
the
percent
of
the
funding
we
do
have
being
spent
in
the
classroom
as
we
move
closer
to
being
a
top-ten
district
and
student
achievement.
I
want
us
to
also
be
a
top
ten
in
every
way
to
include
employee
salaries.
B
We
currently
rank
in
the
top
half
of
Florida
districts,
but
I'm
committed
to
repurposing
resources
and
improving
that
position,
and
we've
started
that
process.
As
a
result
will
present
you
tonight
an
allocation
package
that
reflects
some
some
tough
decisions
made
by
a
number
of
leaders
who
are
collaboratively
agreed
that
meeting
the
needs
of
kids
and
doing
more
for
our
employees
would
be
our
primary
two
goals.
This
allocation
package
moves
us
in
the
right
direction,
but
it
is
not
enough
again.
It
is
just
a
start.
B
I
do
believe
that
our
employees
deserve
more,
but
I've
also
said
and
believed
that
we
cannot
spend
money
that
we
do
not
have.
The
only
option
that
we
really
have
is
to
closely
scrutinize
every
dollar
and
aggressively
repurpose
resources
to
meet
those
goals
of
improving
student
achievement
and
improving
employee
compensation.
B
Moving
forward
I
want
to
solicit
input
from
our
stakeholders.
We
have
to
leave
the
us-versus-them
at
the
door.
We
have
to
dispose
of
that
argot
argument
and
come
together
collaboratively
and
move
forward
as
a
school
community
I'll
be
coming
to
you,
teachers,
staff,
school
board,
parents
and
business
leaders
to
hear
your
suggestions
and
to
continue
this
challenging
work
together.
The
work
of
identifying
the
resources
and
redirecting
them
to
better
serve
our
highest
purposes
will
produce
stellar
results
for
our
students,
employees,
parents
and,
ultimately,
our
community
I,
say
all
that.
B
B
Talking
with
these
teacher
leaders,
every
one
of
them
told
me
the
same
thing
and
it's
the
same
thing
I've
heard
across
the
district
for
the
last
couple
of
years
is
that
everybody
does
agree.
I've
heard
every
school
board
member
agree
every
senior
staff
member
agree,
teachers,
school-based
administrators
support
employees.
Everybody
would
like
to
do
more
than
we
currently
do
for
our
employees.
B
We
can't
only
spend
a
dollar
one
time:
apiece,
we
don't
have
more
dollars.
Dr.
Hamilton
was
right:
I
looked
in
the
basement
at
the
Capitol
and
the
Senate
building
the
house.
Building
I've
never
found
the
money
machine
or
the
green
ink
cartridge
to
print
your
own.
So
we
have
to
live
with.
What
we
have
I
want
to
thank
mr.
Kornegay
for
leading
this
process
and
I'm
going
to
start
talking,
stop
talking
and
let
her
continue
to
share
with
the
board
and
the
public.
What
we've
been
doing
the
past
few
days,
miss
Corning
you
Thank.
O
You
superintendent
and
thank
you
as
well
to
dr.
Hamilton,
as
he
I
did,
have
an
opportunity
to
thank
him
and
I'm
going
to
several
of
you
have
sent
emails
and
texts.
Just
and
I
will
certainly
share
that
with
him
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
for
passing
those
along
both
of
you,
gentlemen,
have
given
us
a
clear
message
and
challenged
our
thinking
in
our
practices.
O
You
heard
it
said
and
I
will
repeat
it.
Preparing
the
16-17
allocation
package
was
challenging,
given
our
financial
position
and
our
goals
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
students
and
schools.
At
a
time
of
increased
enrollment,
we
are
required
to
make
changes
in
how
we
allocate
our
scarce
resources.
Having
heard
dr.
dr.
Hamilton's
message,
we
know
that
if
we
are
ever
going
to
put
ourselves
in
a
position
to
do
more
for
our
people,
we
have
to
repurpose
existing
resources
to
create
the
needed
revenue.
O
We
were
driven
by
our
understanding
that
we
can
do
anything
we
want,
but
we
can't
do
everything
we
want.
This
process
began
last
year
with
the
reduction
of
the
nearly
million
dollars
at
the
district
office
and
moving
into
1617.
We
knew
that
new
allocations
to
accommodate
the
student
growth
in
class
size
would
cost
us
a
minimal
estimate
of
2.6
million
I
first
met
individually
with
division
leaders
to
look
at
all
vacant
positions
and
evaluate
student
program
needs.
These
leaders
in
turn
had
conversations
with
principals
in
their
staffs.
O
These
conversations
resulted
in
the
identification
of
1.3
million
in
resources
available
or
repurposing
leaving
us
in
need
of
at
least
another
1.3
million.
Last
week,
you're
leaders
from
across
the
district
met
with
a
goal
to
identify
an
additional
1.3
million.
This
was
tough
because
each
leader
came
with
their
programs
and
positions
that
are
personal
to
them
and
professionally
important
to
them,
and
they
had
to
measure
them
against
those
four
guiding
questions
that
he
just
read:
I'm,
going
to
read
them
again.
How
do
these
programs
and
positions
directly
impact
and
support
improve
student
academic
performance?
O
Are
there
duplications
of
services?
Are
there
programs
and
services
that
can
be
delivered
through
a
more
innovative,
effective
and
less
costly
means,
and
are
there
programs
that
are
no
longer
needed
given
changes
in
our
destruction,
'old
Olivie
model?
Those
four
questions
were
given
to
us
by
dr.
Hamilton
that
he
uses
with
every
district
that
he
goes
into
to
help
them
with
their
allocations
in
their
their
fiscal
positions.
O
Next,
we
shifted
positions
where
we
could,
from
general
funds
to
federal
and
grant
funds.
We
looked
at
every
instructional
position
that
doesn't
have
students
assigned
and
we
reprioritize,
based
on
those
four
questions.
At
the
end
of
two
very
long
and
tiring
days,
we
had
saved
in
district
allocations
the
1.3
million
and
increased
school
allocations
by
1.3
million,
allowing
us
to
dress
address
the
cost
associated
with
student
growth
without
consuming
the
2.6
million
in
projected
new
revenue,
as
originally
budgeted.
Let
me
say
again:
this
was
not
easy.
O
We
have
great
leadership
in
Clay
County
leadership
that
has
made
some
difficult
decisions,
some
unpopular
decisions,
but
the
right
decisions
for
the
right
reasons
and
we're
going
to
continue
in
this
pursuit.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
board
members.
Your
employees
who've
worked
very
hard
to
make
some
hard
decisions
and
right
decisions
appreciate
your
support
of
this
allocation
package,
but
before
I
turn
this
over
to
you,
I'd
like
for
mr.
unball,
to
make
a
few
clarifying
statements.
P
So,
just
to
be
perfectly
clear,
we
will
continue
to
focus
on
student
health
in
Clay
County.
There
was
from
from
several
speakers
there
the
understanding
that
that
the
program
you
know
would
go
away.
Let
me
assure
you
that
we
will
stay
committed
to
school
board
rules,
including
abstinence
based
education
and
our
instructional
division
personnel
will
focus
on
health
education
and
meet
all
legal
and
school
board
requirements.
P
If
you
look,
for
instance,
at
one
of
the
programs
that
we
deliver
to
to
seventh
graders
as
a
as
a
former
junior
high
teacher
I'll,
tell
you,
I've
witnessed
it
myself
and
let
me
be
very,
very
clear
this.
This
has
been
a
good
program.
These
health
education
specialists
are
great.
There
should
be
nothing
about
this,
that
that
leads
you
to
believe.
Otherwise.
These
are
wonderful,
ladies
and
and
they
will
be
offered
other
employment
in
Clay
County.
Let
me
be
clear
about
that.
P
This
is
just
a
case
of
us
looking
and
trying
to
focus
for
any
examples
of
increasing
our
efficiency,
and
we
miss
Kornegay
tells
you
that
that
these
were
difficult
choices.
I
cannot
stress
enough
how
brutal
those
couple
of
days
were,
as
we
were
looking
under
every
Rock
trying
to
find
every
possible
way
that
we
could
increase
our
efficiency
and
stop
hemorrhaging
cash,
basically
to
try
to
build
up
the
reserves
so
that
there
are
other
options
for
you
as
a
school
board
going
forward.
P
We
will
do
everything
that
we
can
from
our
division.
We
have
the
personnel
where
we
can
support
these
programs.
Let
me,
for
instance,
with
the
seventh
grade.
There's
15,
lessons
that
come
into
the
junior
high
happens
in
the
science
classroom
and
of
those
15
nine
deal
with
substance
abuse
and
six
deal
with
health,
HIV
and
AIDS.
We
are
talking.
These
are
all
Florida
standards,
okay
and
the
standards
that
have
existed
for
forever.
These
aren't
the
ones
that
have
changed.
P
These
are
Florida
standards
for
for
health,
as
well
as
for
science
and
I
am
confident
that
we
can
forge
a
path
ahead
from
our
division
to
help
our
people
and
we
will
provide
whatever
support
is
needed.
The
the
5th
grade
puberty
program
that
she
mentioned
I
can
tell
you
Claire
back
I'm,
going
to
clear
back
when
I
was
at
clay
Hill
in
or
Palka
and
I.
You
know
she
went
off
with
the
girls
and
I
had
the
boys
and
we
had.
The
puberty
talk,
showed
the
video
I
I.
P
Please
believe
me
when
I
tell
you
that
I'm
familiar
with
it,
and
we
are
certainly
able
to
continue
to
support
everything
that
we
have
done
in
schools.
It
is
a
small
portion
of
our
schools
that
reach
out
for
the
fifth
grade
that
want
that.
We
will
continue
to
find
ways
to
support
people
if
they
should
be
squeamish
with
any
of
the
content
and
I'll.
Certainly
answer
questions
later,
as
you
may
wish.
G
H
P
I
Think
everything's
been
said
that
you
know
I
would
echo
your
sentiments
that
any
time
there
are
people
filling
positions
that
we
have
to
reexamine
it's
heartbreaking,
I
mean
we
are
like
you
said
in
the
people,
business
and
I'm
very
proud
of
what
we
offer
our
students
in
health,
education
and
and
how
to
help
them
make
healthy
choices.
I
think
that
any
parent
would
appreciate
the
school
system
support
in
helping
their
children
succeed
in
life
in
every
aspect.
I
So
you
know
like,
like
you
said,
these
are
difficult
decisions
and
we're
faced
with
the
prospect
of
how
do
we
meet
students
needs.
How
do
we
show
our
give
our
teachers
that
the
compensation,
the
support
that
they
deserve
and
and
have
a
sound
budget?
And
these
are
not
not
easy
decisions,
and
you
know
I
I
went
through
the
allocation
package
and
detail
made
my
tally,
marks
and
asked
my
questions
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
it's
not
any
easier
to
make
this
decision
than
it
was
when
I
first
looked
at
it.
I
H
B
Thank
you
for
your
question.
You
know.
I
would
just
like
to
echo
what
mr.
on
ball,
miss
Corning.
He
said.
None
of
this
is
fun.
I
talked
CTE
briefly.
In
this
county
talk,
vocational
ed
had
had
a
class
full
of
kids
that
loved
I
had
a
little
girl,
I
hadn't,
seen
I,
say
little
girl,
she's,
probably
30-something,
now
come
up
and
hug
my
neck
last
night
that
I
taught
her
Wilkinson
junior
in
the
90s
great
programs.
B
Every
one
of
these
these
career
specialists
are
people
that
I
know
and
have
worked
with
for
years
right
after
I
got
on
the
school
board
in
1998
and
I
will
get
to
your
question
here
and
if
I
forget
I'll,
ask
it
again,
but
I
just
want
you
to
let
you
know
this
hasn't
been
any
fun
for
me
either
after
I,
he
can't
be
a
teacher
in
Clay
County
beyond
the
school
board.
Right,
so
I
run
for
a
school
board.
B
I
get
deployed
to
the
Middle
East
for
the
first
time,
come
back
as
a
young
helicopter
pilot
and
get
offered
a
job
with
the
guard.
Full-Time
teaching,
the
drug
prevention
program
for
the
Florida
National
Guard,
and
we
taught
it
all
over
the
state.
One
of
you
mentioned
that
beer
goggles,
the
ones
that
simulate
the
alcohol
vision
after
you've
been
drinking
and
the
smoke
lungs
and
the
tobacco
lungs
and
gateway
drugs
and
marijuana,
and
at
the
time
we
taught
life
management
skills
in
the
high
schools.
B
So
I've,
you
know
we
were
new
to
sunshine,
state
standards
and
that's
Kat
and
all
that
good
stuff.
So
I
rewrote
the
guard's
curriculum
to
meet
the
sunshine
state
standards.
Everybody
loved
that
we
flew
helicopters
to
school.
We
did,
the
goggles
did
the
lungs.
We
gave
great
lessons.
I
showed
the
LMS
teachers,
you
know
just
let
captain
Van
Zandt
come
to
class
I'll
handle
the
whole
thing
for
a
week
cover
all
your
standards.
Everybody
loved
it
in
this
good
stuff,
and
it
was
good.
Then
it's
good
now.
B
B
However,
we've
had
to
redesign
everything
to
move
in,
it's
no
longer
1990
something
2002
it's
2016
and
just
like
the
military
had
to
reprioritize
our
budget
in
the
middle
of
two
unpopular
Wars
and
save
all
the
helicopters
for
flying
where
we
really
needed
them
in
the
Middle
East.
We
as
a
school
system
are
finally
catching
up
to
the
things
that
we
didn't
address,
Inouye
to
know
nine
and
ten,
when
it
would
have
made
sense
to
everybody
to
address
all
these
issues.
When
we
were
like
dr.
B
Hamilton
was
talking
bridging
that
gap
with
federal
stimulus
dollars
and
everything
else.
It
would
have
made
sense
to
everybody,
then
so
through
the
addition
of
Academy
coaches
through
the
guidance
counselors
that
are
already
overworked
through
CTE
teachers
that
are
collaborating
with
each
other
in
interdisciplinary
projects,
we
will
meet
those
criterias,
the
very
best
we
can
so
we'll
have
to
give
more
thought
to
this
redesign.
I,
don't
see
a
a
dip
in
services.
Is
it
going
to
be
done
just
how
it
was
absolutely
not,
or
do
we
hurt
and
not
enjoy
doing
this?
B
Absolutely
so
that
that's
kind
of
just
we're
all
still
a
little
getting
used
to
this
idea
ourselves.
But
this
is
the
best
ideas
that
all
the
all
the
best
people
we
could
bring
in
the
room
that
our
teacher
leaders
could
bring
forty
tonight
and
if
I
didn't
address
anything
specifically
enough
on
the
CTE
I
apologize
I
did
see
miss
Stewart
in
the
back
of
the
room
and
now.
B
Have
places
for
them
there's
nothing
in
this
allocation
package
would
take
a
current
Clay,
County,
School,
Board,
employee
and
displaced
them.
Without
a
job,
though
we'll
be
able
to
find
a
place
and
they'll
be
offered
jobs,
they'll
be
able
to
apply
for
jobs,
they'll
be
able
to
be
placed,
but
everybody's
not
going
to
get
to
stay
exactly
where
they
are
doing
exactly
what
they're
doing
the
way
they're
doing
it
will.
Q
Q
D
Was
scribbling
notes
and
it's
not
in
order
here
so
I'm
just
going
to
jump
around
I
guess
as
I
was
thinking
about
things
when
people
said
things,
one
thing
I
do
want
to
ask.
I
had
talked
to
miss
Roth
this
morning
and
she
was
going
to
get
me
a
question.
I
was
at
the
dare
graduation
for
a
Grove,
Park
and.
C
D
A
D
A
D
D
Just
wonder
because
I
think
the
town
of
Orange
Park
probably
helped
it
done
the
Dare,
and
it
just
made
me
think
years
ago,
I
remember
going
to
dare
programs
at
different
schools
and
I
have
not
heard.
Perhaps
if
there
is
an
elementary
principal
sitting
out
there,
could
someone
tell
me,
do
we
have
their
programs
in
the
other
elementary
schools?
We.
D
D
D
D
D
O
Sure
that
it
was
referred
to
as
a
committee,
it
was
all
of
your
district
leaders
like
who
all
the
all
the
senior
staff
all
of
their
supervisors
direct
all
of
those
who
are
directly
responsible
for
the
allocations
and
specific
programs
and
services.
So
it
was
a
room
above
about
15,
ish
or
so
folks
that
gathered
to
do
this
work.
O
Not
on
the
original
conversations
that
took
place
where
individual
conversations
with
principals,
we
do
intend
on
I'm
bringing
principals
together,
we
talk
to
them
super
intent
to
them
today
about
continuing
to
look
at
our
our
resources
and
reprioritizing
those
resources
and
bringing
other
folks
together
to
do
this
work
with
us.
So,
as
we
said,
this
is
just
the
start.
We've
got
a
long
ways
to
go
if
we
truly
want
to
write
this
financial
ship
and
so
we've,
but
we
will
be
working
with
bringing
in
some
other
stakeholder
groups
as
well.
Okay,.
D
And
and
that's
fine
and
good,
it's
just
I
tend
to
move
a
little
slower.
You
know
just
like
when
we
were
going
move
a
neighborhood
and
oak
leaf
overnight,
and
then
it
got
undone.
Thank
goodness.
We
need
to
stop
and
think
what
we're
doing
but
I
understand.
This
is
the
first
start
with
this
group.
If
I
won't
call
it
a
committee,
the
group
that
met
with
you,
but.
D
D
I
would
have
preferred
this
start
a
while
back
to
give
everybody
some
time
to
not
only
meet
with
your
group
that
you
met
with
the
senior
staff,
but
also
to
have
time
to
have
some
input,
maybe
from
some
principals
who
might
have
some
ideas
and
also
members
of
the
public
parents,
businesspeople,
I
as
a
board
member
and
I'm
sure
other
board
members
would
agree.
It
would
have
been
nice
just
to
hear
the
conversation
to
to
be
able,
because
we,
the
more
people
you
have
involved,
there's
some
pretty
smart
people
out
there.
D
I
just
think
that
there
are
ways
to
cut
that.
Maybe
we
haven't
come
up
with
yet,
and
you
know
getting
the
back
up
last
Tuesday
and
then
you
know
with
Good,
Friday
and
Easter.
I
have
to
admit.
I
did
not
study
the
allocations
on
Good,
Friday
and
Easter
weekend
and
then
last
night,
when
I
got
home
from
a
meeting,
the
email
started
and
it
was
throughout
the
night
and
then
early
this
morning
and
then
all
day
today.
D
In
fact,
I've
still
got
about
four
or
five
who
I
haven't
been
able
to
respond
to
because
they
were
coming
in
as
I
was
trying
to
get
down
here
for
the
meeting
and
I
haven't
even
had
a
chance
to
read
them
in
entirety
and
I'm.
Sure
all
of
us
have
been
inundated
with
emails.
I
know
we
need
to
make
budget
cuts.
We
definitely
do
I'm
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
it.
D
They
some
of
the
points
that
were
brought
up
was
that
dia,
the
current
science
teachers
are
already
burned
enough,
with
all
the
testing
and
and
requirements
and
mandates
and
so
forth,
and
then
they
may
not
feel
comfortable
or
even
really
don't
want
to
get
put
into
that
situation
where
they're,
not
really
specialists
in
that
subject,
I
got
tickled
when
I
was
listening
to
mr.
Van
Zandt
talking
about
the
way
it
was
in
the
old
days.
I
can
remember
in
elementary
school
and
I
thought
it's
mr.
D
D
D
D
I,
still
think
that
sometimes
you
know
if
you
may
want
to
save
a
thousand
dollars-
and
you
may
say
I'd
like
to
have
it
by
by
next
March
I
want
to
have
a
thousand
dollars
extra,
take
a
vacation
or
something
sometimes
it
might
take
you
two
years
to
get
to
that
thousand
dollars
in
order
to
have
that
vacation.
Sometimes
you
just
got
to
have
a
little
bit
more
time
to
think
about
things.
D
I
think
one
other
thing
that
I
was
just
going
through
my
notes.
If
y'all
excuse
me,
one
thing
that
I'm
very
concerned
about
right
now
is
the
employee
morale.
It's
it's
in
my
years
on
the
school
board,
I've
never
seen
the
morale
of
our
staff,
our
support
staff
and
our
teachers
as
low
as
it
is
right
now
and
I
believe
I
heard
I
think
it
was
Miss.
D
Butler
said
that
you
know
we're
doing
these
cuts
to
support
and
the
teachers,
but
we've
got
a
point
to
administrator
added
at
one
of
our
elementary
schools
and
that
may
be
well
needed.
I
tried
to
call
today
to
get
some
more
information
and
actually
weren't
able
to
get
all
of
it.
But
it's
the
perception
of
the
of
the
respect
for
our
employees
and
trying
to
do
this.
D
I
know
the
employees
live
within
a
budget,
all
of
them
as
we
all
live
in
a
budget,
but
you've
got
to
get
some
buy-in
from
the
stakeholders
when
you
are
budgeting
and
if
you
do
have
for
lack
of
a
better
word,
a
workshop
or
something
where
you're
really
I
can
show
people
that
you
have
gone
through.
Every
area
you've
looked
at
administration,
you
have
looked
at
support
staff,
you
have
looked
at
the
instructional
staff,
you
have
looked
under
every
Rock
and
let
them
buy
into
this
and
understand
where
we
are.
D
D
This
just
needs
to
stop.
We
have
got
to
work
together
and
you've
got
to
do
that
through
collaboration,
not
deciding
things
and
putting
it
up
here
and
saying.
This
is
the
way
it's
going
to
be.
We
can't
do
it
any
other
way,
and
this
is
the
best
we've
come
up
with,
and
so
this
is
the
way
it
is.
I
mean
all
these
people
that
got
up
and
spoke
tonight.
D
The
career
specialists,
the
health
specialists,
the
parents,
one
of
the
emails
even
came
from
a
former
administrator
who's
now
retired
from
our
district
I,
haven't,
had
a
chance
to
read
the
whole
thing
yet,
but
I
thought
what
he
was
talking
about,
but
he
was
very
instrumental
in
starting
our
career
in
tech,
ed
and
the
academies
and
so
forth.
I
mean
some
of
these
emails
really
made
good
points
and
I
think
we
ought
to
take
it
to
heart.
D
H
I,
do
I
agree
that
the
US
for
system
has
to
stop
and
I
heard
in
your
in
your
insinuation
missed
uttered
that
when
you
said
that
about
the
perception
about
administration,
school
administration
comes
from
the
teacher
ranks
and
they
are
a
valuable
part
of
the
leadership
of
our
schools.
They
handle
discipline
things
they
handle
truancy,
they
handle
issues
with
kids
and
and
I
and
I.
Don't
want
them
to
think
we
don't
value
them
too.
I
value
all
of
our
school
employees.
H
My
seventh
grader
completed
too
good
for
drugs
and
healthy
choices
this
year
and
much
to
his
chagrin.
He
would
rather
have
not
known
about
all
that
kind
of
stuff,
but-
and
he
told
me
and
for
me
of
all
the
different
names
that
you
can
call
marijuana,
but
he
had
no
idea
so
I
guess
he
what
you
were
effective.
He
learned
it
and
I
do
value
that
and
that's
why
I
asked
about
how
we
accomplished
that
in
clay
virtual,
because
I
know
that
those
are
kids,
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
reaching.
H
A
H
Innovation,
one
was
when
I
was
thinking
of
and
we
have
to
find
a
different
way
to
do
things.
I
come
from
the
corporate
world
and
when
you
manage
a
budget,
your
budget
in
the
corporate
world,
you're
handed
a
target
and
you're
told,
go
cut
your
budget
to
this
amount
and
you
don't
get
a
choice
and
not
only
do
valuable
programs
go
away
and
that
kind
of
model.
But
you
end
up
cutting
the
things
that
don't
need
to
be
cut
and
and
because
I
don't
think
that
you
can
go
and
just
across-the-board
cut.
H
So
I
I
don't
want
to
see
us
just
cut
programs
that
we
can't
find
and
I
and
clearly.
The
message
in
this
is
that
employees
are
not
losing
their
jobs
and-
and
that
is
important
to
me,
but
I
also
care
about
employee
morale
and
I've
talked
to
so
many
employees
and
raises
matter,
and
what
I
heard
mr.
Kornegay
say
is
that
in
order
to
fund
the
additional
needs
of
our
additional
students,
we
had
to
find
1.3
million
dollars
from
somewhere
or
it
was
coming
from
that
2.6
million
dollars.
H
And
so
you
were
able
to
find
that.
And
my
assumption-
and
maybe
you
can
clarify
if
this
is
a
valid
assumption,
but
my
assumption
was
when
you
said
you
brought
together
senior
staff.
Those
are
professionals
that
have
qualifications
that
are
pretty
extensive
and
those
job
descriptions
to
be
qualified
to
run
their
programs.
Is
that
true?
And
so,
if
that's
true,
then
we
need
to
trust
them
to
be
the
professionals.
H
I'm,
a
professional
environmental
scientist
I
have
no
knowledge
on
how
you
should
run
a
CTE
program,
because
that's
not
my
chosen
profession
and
so
I
do
value.
The
people
who
you
had
input
from
and
I
would
also
expect
as
things
change
and
you
get
into
the
budgeting
process
that
if
you
find
that
you
need
to
go
put
these
allocations
back
in
as
you
did
in
September
and
October,
you
came
back
to
us
and
said
we
have
allocations
that
we
didn't
have
in
the
original
plan
and
we
can
put
them
back
in
I.
H
Do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
meet
our
standards,
and
so
mr.
Limbaugh,
please
make
sure
that
those
are
met.
But
it's
just
we
have
to.
We
have
to
evolve
and
I
really
heard
miss
dr.
Hamilton's
message
loud
and
clear.
We
have
to
find
a
way
and
I
do
expect
that
you'll
go
back
and
look
at.
You
know
things
at
the
school
level
and
challenge
the
principals
to
go
back
with
their
staffs
and
their
their
teachers
and
their
support
staffs
to
find
other
ways.
H
But
you
know
I,
don't
I
don't
want
to
cut
the
programs
that
you
have
put
your
time
and
effort
and
probably
your
own
money
into
and
I
value
those
programs,
and
so
hopefully
my
understanding
is
that
you're
all
science
teachers,
and
so
hopefully
you
will
be
three
of
the
science
teachers
delivering
this
program.
In
addition,
but
I,
just
don't
I
employee
raises-
are
important
to
me.
H
I
told
the
superintendent
that
we
could
be
at
odds
if
he
didn't
find
a
way
to
get
that
done,
and
that's
about
that's
that's
more
valuable
to
me
than
keeping
doing
things
the
way
that
we
were
doing
them
just
because
we're
doing
them
that
way
as
long
as
our
kids
are
being
met,
and
it's
a
nice
and
I
would
really
like
to
see
these
people
and
jobs
in
our
district,
the
same
kind
of
valuable
job.
So
that's
what
I
had
to
say.
D
I
did
want
to
add
one
thing,
because
I
was
thinking
about
that
I
didn't
mentioned
when
I
had
my
turn.
Is
some
I'd
like
to
understand
more
too
about
the
duplication
between
the
in
career
in
T
and
the
academies
and
with
the
career
after
debt?
I
don't
quite
understand
how,
if
there's
a
duplication
in
those
services,
so
you
know
that's
then
have
to
I.
Don't
have
to
learn
that
today,
but
at
some
point
I
would
like
to
know
how
that
works
with
I
know.
D
A
Okay,
I
just
just
a
couple
things
I
don't
want
to
go
on
and
on
because
I
know
we're
all.
It's
been
a
long
presentation.
I
think
the
big
message
that
I
heard
the
big
takeaway
message
that
I
heard
is
a
message
that
I
also
hear
in
corporate
America
a
lot
too,
and
that
is,
if
you
always
do
what
you
always
did.
A
You
always
get
what
you
always
got,
and
so
it's
time
I
think
if
we
want
to
quit
getting
what
we
always
got,
which
is
at
least
for
as
long
as
I've
been
on
the
board,
a
fund
balance,
that's
below
the
state
required
minimum.
The
inability
to
give
teachers
raises
and
do
the
things
that
we
need
to
do
to
improve
student
performance.
A
I
heard
a
couple
things
about
stakeholder
buy-in,
I,
miss
stuttered,
I
know
you
mentioned
you
were
concerned
about
whether
or
not
all
of
the
stakeholders
truly
had
buy-in.
I
heard
that
I
heard
that
there
was
initial
conversations
between
principals
and
the
folks
at
the
schools
that
and
then
they
came
back
and
met,
and
so
I
heard
that
there
was
stakeholder
buy-in
all
across
the
organization.
A
In
terms
of
collaborative
discussions,
you
know,
I
never
have
a
problem,
picking
up
the
phone
and
calling
any
any
one
of
our
folks
on
the
staff
or
at
the
district
office
to
be
able
to
answer
questions
I
think
there
is
a
lot
of
collaboration
going
on
I.
Think
I'm
not
concerned
about
a
lack
of
collaboration,
so
I
am
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
a
problem
with
that.
A
I
think
that
you
guys
are
doing
a
very
good
job
of
collaborating
with
everybody,
getting
the
buy-in
that
you
need
trusting
the
people
in
the
positions
who
know
those
programs
best
to
be
able
to
come
up
with
the
the
cuts
and
the
you
know,
reorganization
or
whatever.
You
want
to
call
it
that
that
that
you
guys
asked
for
and
still
be
able
to
meet.
Those
four
priorities
that
you
mentioned.
A
I
also
want
to
add
that
our
teachers
are
the
lifeblood
of
this
district
and
as
such
as
a
result
of
what
they
do.
Our
school
system
is
one
of
the
most
sought
out
districts
in
the
state,
and
we
owe
that
to
our
teachers
and
to
our
staff
and
to
everybody
that
works
in
this
district.
Every
employee,
it's
not
one
over
the
other.
A
It's
it's
one,
clay,
team
and
I
value,
I
highly
value,
our
teachers
and
our
staff
and
our
employees
and
I
heard
each
and
every
one
of
you
a
couple
weeks
ago
that
you
guys
need
a
salary
increase
and
so
I
hear
you
I
have
always
been
committed
to
that.
But
in
a
way
that
is
financially
responsible,
we
can't
do
that
and
then
break
the
bank
at
the
same
time,
and
so
that's
why
I
am
fully
supportive
of
this
allocation
package.
I
think
that
it
was
a
lot
of
hard
work.
A
A
We
have
to
be
innovative
with
the
resources
that
we
have
and
I
believe
that
we
have
the
most
innovative
employees
and
we've
already
seen
them
do
incredible,
innovative
things
and
so
I
have
all
the
confidence
in
the
world
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
to
do
what
they
need
to
do
with
this
allocation
package
and
be
able
to
move
us
forward
and
to
be
able
to
meet
the
priorities
that
have
been
set
forth.
So
I
just
wanted
to
those
are
just
my
thoughts
and
I
I.
A
E
B
B
When
Denzel
Washington
was
meeting
his
first
integrated
football
team,
he
said
no
fun,
no
fun,
sir
me
and
my
wife
were
having
that
discussion
last
night,
because
this
was
no
fun,
but
it's
something
we
need
to
do
to
move
forward
and
I
think
it
is
going
to
set
us
and
a
more
financial,
more
financially
sustainable
and
stable
position.
Second
thing
is
every
time
we
get
up
here
and
start
talking
about
dollars
and
cents.
B
We
end
up
talking
about
administrators
most
of
the
administrators
in
this
room
and
in
this
district
vise,
a
few
that
are
experts
to
transportation
or
is
or
finance,
building
building
something
like
that
which
are
just
a
handful.
Our
teachers,
their
teachers,
that
taught
for
five
or
ten
or
fifteen
or
twenty
years
and
then
went
in
to
administration
through
some
kind
of
night
school,
Virtual
School
online
school
got
a
graduate
degree
in
some
kind
of
Education
administration
or
education
leadership
and
put
themselves
out
there
to
lead
our
formations
and
our
schools.
B
Now
you
don't
have
to
look
very
hard
to
realize
that
these
people
do
a
very
good
job
of
empowering
their
actual
faculties,
because
you
can
look
at
your
budget
school
board
and
see
that
there's
only
three
percent
of
your
folks
are
administrators.
You
can
look
just
to
the
north
and
across
the
river
and
see
it
takes
about
5%
of
administrators
in
Duval.
B
While
these
administrators
are
on
the
front
lines,
getting
up
very
early
and
I
know
several
of
them's
patterns,
so
my
phone
starts
ringing
and
texting
about
5:00
or
so
in
the
morning,
and
it
goes
to
some
of
them
are
night
hours
and
I
get
to
work
around
the
clock
with
all
of
them.
When
they're
talking
to
me
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
bring
that
out
and
there's
a
lot
of
administrators
here
tonight
and
a
couple
of
teachers
and
support
people.
We
appreciate
you
all.
H
She
said:
she's
seen
it
in
a
number
of
districts
through
the
years.
If
you
then
go
back
below
three
percent,
once
you've
restored
your
fund
balance,
the
state
will
come
in
and
take
over
your
district.
They
consider
the
first
time.
Okay,
something
happened.
You
went
wrong,
but
the
second
time
it's
egregious,
and
so
that
was
news
to
me-
doesn't
really
clearly
outline
that
in
the
statute.
H
But
apparently
that
is
past
practice
as
far
as
what
she
has
seen
sitting
as
a
school
board
member
for
decades
at
any
rate,
and
that
that
was
my
first
thing
and
then
my
second
thing
is
one
of
our
employees.
Gavin
Rollins
is
being
deployed
to
serve
our
country
for
a
year,
leaving
April
4th
and
I
just
wanted
to
tell
him
publicly.
Thank
you
for
your
service
and
the
content
household,
whether
you're
a
soldier,
a
seaman,
an
airman
or
a
marine.
H
When
you
go
to
serve
our
country
and
defend
our
freedoms,
to
have
meetings
like
this
and
to
live
in
the
greatest
country
in
the
world.
Our
prayers
are
with
you,
and
it
really
is
really
touches,
my
heart
that
anyone
is
willing
to
serve
and
I
know.
We
have
lots
of
military
families
and
our
schools
in
our
communities,
but
Clay
County,
School
District,
is
losing
an
employee
and
and
going
he's
going
to
defend
our
freedoms
and
I
certainly
appreciate
that.
I
Thank
you,
skill
husband.
You
know,
I'll,
just
echo
your
sentiments
that
this
meeting
was
not
enjoyable
any
time
we
have
to
talk
about
difficult
budget
decisions
at
whether
it's
at
home
or
in
a
public
setting.
It's
it's
painful
and
I
am
hopeful
of
where
we're
headed
this
being
behind
us
and
I
look
forward
to
the
opportunities
that
will
be
available
in
the
coming
year
because
of
these
difficult
decisions
we've
made
now.
A
Thank
you
I'm,
going
to
limit
my
comments
because
I
don't
have
much
of
a
voice,
so
I'm
just
going
to.
Thank
you
all
for
good
board
meeting.
Thank
you
for
the
folks
that
came
and
spoke,
and
thank
you
again
for
the
staff
and
the
employees
who
worked
so
hard
on
putting
this
together,
really
appreciate
it.
Any
attorney
requests!
Okay!
Well
with
that.
This
meeting
is
adjourned.
