From YouTube: July 16, 2015 Regular Board Meeting
Description
See the agenda here: http://agenda.oneclay.net/publishing/ap-agendas.html
A
I
would
like
to
call
to
order
the
regular
school
board
meeting
of
July
16th
2015
I
want
to
welcome
the
citizens
of
Clay
County
I.
Take
this
opportunity
to
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
out
of
your
busy
schedules
to
attend
tonight's
school
board.
Meeting
this
meeting
is
our
opportunity,
as
your
elected
representatives,
to
collaborate
openly
and
make
decisions
that
will
decide
the
future
direction
of
our
public
schools
in
the
education
of
our
children
here
in
Clay
County.
If
you
wish
to
address
the
board,
there
will
be
an
opportunity
to
speak
for
three
minutes.
A
B
Name
is
Keith
Nichols,
and
my
address
is
on
record
in
one
of
my
first
presentations
before
the
school
board.
I
pointed
out
that
over
30
percent
of
our
support
staff
draw
any
last
salaries
that
place
them
below
federal
poverty
levels.
I
have
noticed
that
several
board
members
have
taken
to
quoting
that
statistics,
and
so
I
will
consider
it
vetted.
B
B
The
paper
I
handed
out
is
the
update
from
the
data
obtained
from
the
free
database
at
the
Florida
times-union
website,
based
on
these
numbers
from
2014
twenty
three
point:
six:
nine
percent
of
all
employees
working
for
the
Clay
County
school
board,
draw
salaries
below
federal
poverty
guidelines
for
a
family
of
four
most
twenty
percent
could
not
support
a
family
of
three
again,
that
is
for
all
employees,
so
I
think
it
would
be
safe
to
assume.
If
you
examine
just
support
employees,
they
would
easily
top
the
30
percent
mark
again.
B
My
hope
is
that
tonight,
each
member
of
the
board
will
pledge
to
address
the
issue
of
poverty
among
your
employees.
Growing
up
my
father,
saying
in
the
gospel
group
with
the
superintendent
of
our
school
system,
who
once
told
my
father
and
us
nobody
should
get
rich
in
education.
I,
however,
also
believed
nobody
should
be
expected
to
starve
serving
the
public
good.
B
With
that
being
said,
the
most
disturbing
part
of
the
research
project
for
me
was
the
links
I
had
to
go
to
to
find
reputable
data.
This
information
should
be
freely
accessible
from
our
own
website.
People
should
be
able
to
view
it
and
break
the
data
down
easily
right
from
our
own
site.
Our
track
record
on
data
access
is
horrible
and
I
hope
you
will
consider
every
opportunity
to
improve
this
area.
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
mr.
C
He
bought
him
a
soda
and
sat
and
talked
for
a
few
moments
until
the
student
could
calm
himself
and
go
to
class.
Then
I
recall
talking
to
the
same
custodian
a
few
days
earlier
and
hearing
how
upset
his
wife
was
because
the
roof
was
leaking
again.
He
had
to
rush
home
and
patch
it
because
he
had
no
money
to
replace
it.
I've
seen
a
cafeteria
worker
pay
for
a
student's
lunch
and
then
recall
this
same
worker.
Commenting
that
rice
and
gravy
is
a
great
way
to
extend
your
grocery
budget
says
she
can
only
afford
meat.
C
C
You
have
here
I
challenge
you
go
home
and
ask
your
own
child,
the
name
of
their
cafeteria
worker,
their
bus
driver,
their
nurse
custodian,
etc,
see
if
they
can
tell
you
chances,
are
they
can
they
can,
because
these
people
make
a
difference
in
the
daily
lives
of
these
students
and
impact
their
ability
to
learn.
Please
consider
these
things
as
you
prioritize.
Your
budget
support
employees
have
not
had
an
increase
in
their
pay
scale
since
before
2007,
though
the
cost
of
living
and
the
minimum
wage
has
continued
to
rise.
C
Please
understand
also
that
the
employees
dismay
when
they
see
a
district
supervisor
receive
a
promotion
to
increase
a
salary
by
$8,000.
It's
upsetting
to
them.
Considering
$8,000
is
about
the
same
as
some
employees
total
annual
salary,
that's
before
taxes
and
insurance.
No
employee
should
make
so
little
that
they
ever
have
to
write
a
check
to
the
district
to
cover
their
insurance
deductions,
but
unfortunately,
this
is
the
reality
of
many
of
your
support
employees.
Thank
you.
Thank.
D
D
After
all,
my
deductions
of
a
ten
day
pay
I
have
$130.
If
you
divide
that
by
the
20-day
pay
I'm
only
making
$13
a
day,
I
have
fuel
expense
I.
You
know
this
is
unreasonable,
we're
not
asking
for
the
moon
and
the
stars,
we're
asking
for
a
fair
wage,
and
we
should
be
able
to
have
that
fair
wage.
When
I
Drive
my
school
bus
I'm,
a
bus
driver
I'm,
a
counselor
I
am
also
if
a
child
gets
sick.
I
got
to
clean
up
after
that
child.
D
If
that
child
gets
hurt,
I
have
to
address
through
wound.
You
know
we
hold
many
titles
driving
that
school
bus
I
am
a
professional
I
have
to
get
certifications
every
year
to
be
able
to
drive
the
school
bus
and
I
do
not
feel
that
we
are
appreciated.
I,
don't
feel
appreciate
it.
Would
you
feel
appreciated
making
thirteen
dollars
a
day,
I
mean
come
on?
Get
real
I
just
want
y'all
to
really
see
what
we're
going
through
here.
Not
only
is
that
affecting
me,
we
just
got
an
increase
in
our
insurance.
D
Let's
look
at
that
for
a
second
9%
increase
on
my
medical
expenses.
That's
30
something
dollars
added
to
me.
Then
you
got
vision
that
went
up
with
dental.
Hey
I
got
to
have
dinner
either
like
try
to
keep
my
teeth.
You
know
it's
not
that
I'm
asking
for
something
unreasonable,
so
I
mean
you
know.
Y'all
really.
D
The
decisions
to
this
board
is
making
is
affecting
our
lives,
it's
affecting
our
lives
and
is
pushing
good
workers
out
of
a
job,
because
we
can't
keep
going
on
like
at
the
last
school
year,
I
had
to
write
365
dollar
check
for
my
insurance
at
the
end
of
school
year,
I
mean
you
want
to
keep
good
workers.
Y'all
got
to
do
better
and
I
just
asked
for
a
fair
wage.
It's
not
unreasonable,
so
you
need
to
decide
you
think
about
what
you
are
doing
here
is
affecting
our
lives.
D
F
E
What
again
my
name
is:
Kim
Stacy
I'm,
a
school
bus
driver
I'm
here
tonight
express
my
concerns
for
us
drivers
and
monitors
that
are
living
below
poverty
level,
while
employed
by
the
school
district.
I
feel
the
Board
believes
that
the
workweek
consisted
with
37
and
a
half
hour
a
week.
This
is
far
from
the
truth.
E
Some
of
us
work
six
hours,
some
work,
five,
some
work
for
and
some
fewer
than
that
at
the
last
meeting
a
few
meetings
ago
that
I
attended
it
was.
It
was
said
that
the
reason
why
there
was
a
administration
positions
open
that
they
were
going
to
appoint
because
the
other,
the
people
that
were
doing
that
at
that
point
in
time
we're
doing
two
to
three
people
different
jobs
at
one
time,
so
they
needed
to
have
some
of
it
left,
let
off
of
them
and
I
believe
that
was
quoted
by
mr.
E
Van
Zandt
I,
don't
know
if
any
of
y'all
have
ever
ridden
a
bus
on
it,
and
even
just
as
it
shift
maybe
one
school.
We
do
more
than
just
drive
that
bus.
We
do
a
lot
of
positions.
We
have
a
lot
of
workload
on
us,
but
we
don't
get,
we
don't
get,
we
don't
get
paid
for
it,
which
we
don't
mind
doing
some
of
the
stuff
for
the
emotional
and
taking
care
of
the
kids
and
things
like
that.
It
is
part
of
our
job.
E
E
If
you
work
at
30
out
6
hours
a
day,
30
hours
a
week
for
$12
now
it's
360
a
week
which
is
720
every
2
weeks
with
a
paid
period
of
a
month
at
14:40,
with
taxes,
retirement
you're,
looking
at
about
$400
coming
off
the
check
right
at
the
top,
which
leaves
about
$1,100
a
month
on
a
good
day
for
9
months
now
we
only
get
paid
9
months
and
the
national
poverty
for
one
in
a
household
is
1177
a
year
we
are
owed.
We
are
two
thousand
four
hundred
and
something
below
that.
E
With
that
said,
more
thanks.
I
can
get
this
out.
We
have
to
understand.
We
not
only
do
we
not
get
paid
but
nine
months,
but
through
the
school,
the
school
breaks,
Christmas
Thanksgiving
teacher's
day
of
conference,
whatever
they
have
to
do.
We're
not
getting
paid
for
this.
So
there's
days
that
we're
only
getting
two
days
a
week.
E
A
G
G
That
is
why
I
left
the
county
I
do
not
no
longer
work
with
all
because
of
that
I
felt
unappreciated,
I
I
know
what
these
ladies
in
these
gentlemen
feel,
like
so
I,
know
what
they're
going
through
and
I
see
what
they're
going
through
so
y'all
need
to
really
sit
back
and
see
what
they're
going
through.
You
need
to
sit
and
think
of
what
your
janitors
your
cafeteria
workers,
all
of
them.
They
are
on
the
low
totem
pole.
G
You
got
to
think
of
them
and
all
I
can
say:
y'all
increasing
their
insurance,
that's
even
making
it
a
harder
in
on
them
and
as
a
now
account
and
as
a
voter
and
everything
like
that,
I'm
not
happy
because
it
hurts
because
they
treat
your
students,
they
treat
them
really
good.
They
bend
over
backwards
for
your
students,
I
seen
it
when
I
drove
I
loved
my
job
I
really
loved,
my
kids,
I
loved
it,
but
I
felt
unappreciated,
and
that
is
why
I
left.
So
you
that's
why
you're
losing
bus
drivers?
G
H
We've
seen
some
big
dollars
handed
out
over
the
last
few
months
raises
in
it
promotions
and
raises
elsewhere.
Is
it
our
turn
yet
I'm
a
school
bus
driver
for
Clay
County
happened
for
a
couple
years
couple
many
years.
The
support
personnel
has
not
received
an
increase
to
the
salary
scheduled
in
many
many
years.
We
need
a
raise
this
year,
not
a
bonus,
but
a
raise
that
I
that
I
can
budget
on
for
the
future.
Did
the
tentative
budget
you
reviewed
earlier
include
a
raise
for
the
person
support
personnel.
A
I
I'm
wearing
my
CCA
out
right
now,
Tracy
Butler,
my
address
is
on
the
card,
normally
rental
League
comes
in
and
she
talks
about
the
things
that
are
going
on
with
the
allocations.
She's
out
of
town,
so
I
told
her
I
would
handle
it
for
tonight.
I
wanted
to
remind
everyone
that
we
have
displaced
annual
contract
and
PSC
teachers
that
are
still
sitting
out
there.
Teachers
have
been
in
that
have
been
in
the
system
and
they
know
the
clay
way
and
we
and
they
have
highly
effective
and
effective
evaluations.
I
The
teachers
of
an
that
we
have
invested
money
in.
We
currently
have
principals
that
are
hiring
anybody
that
they
wish
for
open
positions.
They
may
hire
their
neighbor,
their
niece,
their
friends,
etc.
I've
said
many
times
that
any
corporate
heads
going
to
tell
you
that
there's
a
cost
associated
with
turnover
training
new
folks
on
how
to
do
it.
The
way
we
want
them
to
do
it
is
there
is
a
cost
associated
to
that.
This
district
can
no
longer
afford
to
operate
with
the
good-old-boy
attitude.
The
nepotism,
the
cronyism
has
to
stop.
I
We've
outgrown
that
and
there
are
AC
teachers
out
there
that
I
want
to
say
to
them.
If
you
have
that
non
reappoint
letter
in
your
hand,
you
are
entitled
to
unemployment,
and
if
you
haven't
received
it,
you
need
to
go
down
and
do
it
and
that's
what
we
tell
our
members.
If
they
got
that
a
non
reappoint
letter,
they
need
to
go
and
claim
unemployment,
so
there's
another
cost
of
the
district.
So
we
need
to
think
about
that
before
you
put
new
people
in.
Oh,
ok,.
I
Wearing
my
CC,
my
sis,
behat
now
I
want
to
tell
you
that
I'm
looking
at
a
report
here
that
was
submitted
by
the
office
of
program
policy
analysis
to
a
their
group
out
of
Tallahassee
and
apparently
a
management
of
America,
also
out
of
Tallahassee,
actually
was
the
ones
who
did
the
investigation
or
the
the
review
and
it
states
in
here.
It
talks
often
about
how
we
are
top-heavy.
This
was
done
in
March
30
on
March
31st
of
1998.
I
So,
whenever
we're
talking
about
changes
that
have
to
be
made,
I
think
that
if
they
came
to
us
in
1998
and
said
that
this
had
to
be
done-
and
we
still
haven't
done
it-
and
we
still
continue
to
do
things
that
we've
done
in
the
last
two
months,
we've
watched
a
lot
of
people
gets
raises
a
lot
of
people
got
promotions.
Okay,
so
I
think
we
need
to
revisit
that.
A
A
Okay,
with
that
I'm
going
to
I
want
to
note
that
one
item
was
pulled
from
the
consent
agenda
to
discussion
and
that's
item
C
19.
So
we
will
get
to
that
item.
Excuse
me,
as
we
get
to
the
discussion
agenda,
so
I
will
entertain
a
motion
for
adoption
of
the
can
sent
agenda
item.
C19
move
approval.
Second,
sorry:
oh,
that's!
Okay,
I,
have
an
approval.
Bye,
miss
stuttered
in
a
second
bye,
miss
Gil
housing
motion;
I'm.
Sorry
I
have
a
motion
by
mr.
dirt
in
a
second
by
Miguel
housing.
A
J
Good
evening,
I'm
proud
to
be
here
to
represent
Human
Resources
this
evening
and
some
recognition
of
some
of
our
employees.
Hr
is
a
very
small
group.
In
a
couple
months,
I've
got
to
figure
that
very
hardworking
group
of
individuals
up
there
I'd
also
say
that
we've
had
some
turnover
in
HR,
also
a
bunch
of
new
faces
myself,
as
well
as
a
whole
new
team
up
there
and
I'd
like
to
kind
of
introduce
them.
This
evening.
J
First,
our
director
of
support
personnel,
Jackie
Torre
who's,
going
to
be
coming
up
in
a
minute
to
recognize
our
retirees,
followed
by
following
her
as
Miss
Brenda
Troutman
who's,
the
director
of
instructional
personnel,
who
is
going
to
give
recognition
to
those
folks
that
have
already
with
principal
certification.
So
our
future
principal
leaders,
in
addition,
miss
Cathy,
Richardson
who's.
Also
here
is
the
new
Terry,
standalone,
Asst
supervisor
of
instructional
personnel
and,
of
course,
dr.
Saylor
is
part
time
HR
and
Sam
Wright
and
I'm
just
going
to
tell
you
15
of
the
hardest-working.
J
K
K
K
At
this
time,
we'd
like
to
honor
a
few
retirees
that
are
with
us,
we
actually
had
a
hundred
and
forty-four
individuals
who
have
retired
since
this
time
last
year
and
those
144
people
served
the
school
board
of
Clay
County
for
3082
years
Wow,
that's
a
long
time
when
I
call
your
name.
If
you
kindly
just
come
up
front,
mr.
Van
Zant
is
going
to
come
down
and
if
you'll
just
stay
up
front
so
that
we
can
get
a
picture
of
the
group.
K
L
Good
evening,
ok
I'm
here
to
recognize
the
following:
Clay
County
administrators,
who
have
successfully
completed
the
human
resource
management
development
program
and
they've,
fulfilled
the
requirements
for
their
level
2
principal
certification.
All
the
recipients
have
successfully
demonstrated
mastery
of
the
Florida
leadership
standards
and
represent
clay
County's
future
school
based
leaders.
L
L
M
Well,
madam
chairman
board
members
and
Clay
County
family
in
the
audience,
I
can't
tell
you
what
it
means
to
lead
a
district
with
the
kind
of
people
that
we
have
running
it
on
your
behalf
every
day,
some
of
the
retirees
already
slipped
out,
but
a
great
great
group
of
people,
miss
Wanda.
The
lady
sits
standing
here.
Next
to
me,
I'm
actually
worked
with
one
of
my
own
children
and
this
group
of
people
that
just
completed
the
principal
HRM
D
process.
M
Absolutely
just
a
phenomenal
group
of
people.
I
was
able
to
stick
my
head
in
once
or
twice
as
they
were
going
through.
Their
training
I
know
most
of
them
very,
very
well.
A
couple
of
them
are
already
principals.
As
of
July
1st
this
year,
we,
as
you
know,
we
had
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
retirements
this
year
and
that
can
make
you
pause
for
a
second
say,
take
a
deep
breath
and
say
wow
we're
losing
a
lot
of
experience.
M
A
N
Good
evening
we're
proud
to
recognize
the
2015
West
wooden
scholarship
recipients.
Tonight
we
all
remember
Wes
as
an
outstanding
student
and
member
of
our
community.
This
scholarship
was
created
in
his
honor
and
is
awarded
each
year
to
deserving
students
to
give
a
little
more
information
about
the
scholarship
and
to
announce
the
students.
Please
welcome
the
principal
from
w
cherry,
miss
Angie
wooden
and
the
athletic
director
from
Orange
Park
junior
high
mr.
Robert
Worley.
O
Wingate
called
me
and
asked
if
we
wanted
to
recognize
the
recipients
at
the
board
meeting
I
realized
we
had
never
done
it
before
and
so
just
to
inform
you
on
May
14,
2008
I
lost
my
oldest
son,
and
we
have
a
scholarship
in
his
memory
that
we've
given
away
since
2009
and
as
of
this
year,
we've
ordered
41
different
Clay,
County
kids,
with
his
scholarship
breath',
has
had
all
this
planned
out
of
what
I
was
going
to
say.
It
I'm
upset.
O
Excuse
me,
so
one
thing
that
makes
this
very
unique
is
that
the
scholarship
is
only
for
Clay,
County
kids.
You
have
to
attend
Clay,
County,
Schools
and
so
obviously
that's
one
of
the
first
criteria
and
then
you've
had
to
have
played
a
sport
in
either
junior
high
or
senior
high,
and
you
have
to
be
accepted
to
college,
which
you
know
I'm
very
thankful,
but
it's
also
unfortunate.
O
A
lot
of
our
recipients
have
already
left
for
college,
but
we're
happy
to
have
a
few
of
them
here
with
us
tonight
and
the
third
one
is
probably
the
most
important
part
of
the
scholarship
requirements,
and
that
is
the
students
have
to
write
an
essay
that
say
how
they
made,
how
they
make
a
difference,
and
I
can
tell
you
my
child
was
not
perfect.
He
was
not
perfect
by
any
means.
Mr.
Bronski
had
him
in
junior
high,
hey
he's,
not
perfect,
but
I
can
tell
you.
He
made
a
difference.
O
I
had
a
mom
come
up
to
me
shortly
after
he
was
killed
and
she
goes
you
don't
know
who
I
am,
but
my
child
was
friends
with
your
son
and
I
said:
oh,
you
know,
I
mean
I'd
heard
that
law
and
she
goes.
No,
you
don't
understand.
Your
child
was
my
son's
first
friend
ever
she
said
my
child
has
Down
syndrome
and
he
had
never
attended
school
and
the
first
school
he
attended
was
swimming
on
high
school
and
Wesley
took
him
under
his
wing
and
he
would
come
home
every
day.
O
That
I
have
read,
and
you
know,
is
it
because
of
these
books
to
get
me
fight
to
get
me
to
fight
to
be
like
I
am
thank
you
for
all
you've
done
for
me
and
in
the
end
he
says
the
last
thing
he
says
I
hope
one
day
to
be
a
reflection
of
you,
mom
I
love
you
and
that's
so
special
to
me,
but
honestly
I
hope
to
be
a
reflection
of
my
son.
So
without
this
gentleman
right
here,
this
is
what
happened.
He
never
met
my
child
didn't
know
him.
O
He
had
his
younger
brother
in
the
seventh
grade,
which
was
the
year
after
Wesley,
was
killed
in
May
and
I
had
to
ask
him
I
said
coach
Marley.
Why
would
you
do
this?
You
didn't
know
Wesley,
you
never
saw
him
playing.
He
goes
after
coaching
Heath
if
Wesley
was
anything
like
Heath
and
he
deserves
to
be
remembered,
so
I'm
gonna
hand
it
over
to
coach
Worley,
because
he
really
deserves
a
lot
of
this
and,
most
importantly,
it
makes
my
child
never
forgotten.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
D
P
How
you
doing
my
name
is
Robert
Worley.
As
miss
Whitten
said,
I
founded
the
scholarship
in
2009,
with
the
simple
goal
of
trying
to
help
some
kids
go
to
college.
A
little
backstory
I
played
high
school
football.
My
high
school
football
coaches
did
a
similar,
don't
similar
thing
and
I
figured
I'd
pay
it
forward.
Now.
By
trying
to
do
the
same
idea,
our
little
motto
is
your
life.
Is
your
message
to
the
world?
Make
it
count
quick
little
story?
Young
man
named
Lorenzo
Ferguson
was
one
of
our
first
recipients.
P
Recently
last
May
he
graduated
from
the
University
of
South
Alabama,
and
he
contacted
me
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
he
said
coach.
He
goes
I've
got
one
more.
You
know
favor
to
ask
and
I
said:
what's
that
Lorenzo
he
said
I
want
to
be
a
teacher.
He
said.
If
you
could
help
me
get
a
job
and
I
said
absolutely
manis.
I'll
do
everything.
I
can
I
said,
but
why
do
you
want
to
be
a
teacher?
He
said
I
want
to
help
kids.
The
way
you
and
your
foundation
have
helped
me.
P
So
that's
basically,
you
know
just
a
little
backstory
of
what
we're
trying
to
do,
trying
to
help
kids
better
their
lives
through
education,
kids
that
work
hard
and
do
the
right
thing.
We've
got
to
hear
today
that
I'd
like
to
recognize
Megan
Hanlon
from
Orange
Park,
High,
School
and
Bryce
in
total,
from
Fleming
Island
High
School
y'all
come
up
here.
Take
a
picture.
O
I
just
wanted
to
say
all
the
recipients
were
recognized
in
a
public
ceremony
at
the
junior
high
Jamboree
in
May,
and
so
maybe
next
year
we
can
recognize
them
in
May
so
that
you
all
can
see
all
of
them.
Every
High
School
has
had
a
representative
every
single
one,
I
think
this
year
we
had
nine
yeah.
We
had
nine
recipients,
and
this
year,
especially,
we
did
one
recipient
and
memory
of
Gianna
as
sincere
the
little
girl
who
would
passed
away
here
at
Fleming
Island.
O
So
we
made
sure
that
we
included
her
family
because
I
know
how
they
feel,
but
thanks
big
time
to
Fleming
on
high
school,
they
have
a
golf
tournament.
They
sponsor
one
entire
scholarship
every
year
and
what's
very
cool
is
it
Wesley
was
number
42,
they
retired
his
jersey
and
the
first
recipient
next
year
will
be
the
42nd
recipient.
So
thank
you.
A
M
Have
just
two
things
for
you:
the
first
one
we've
been
the
recipients
of
an
opportunity
to
have
a
new
program
that
focuses
on
working
with
at-risk
junior
high
age,
young
teenage
boys
to
keep
them
in
school
and
miss
Francis.
Ellis
has
worked
as
our
point
person
on
this,
so
I'd
like
to
her
to
come
up
and
tell
you
guys
a
little
bit
more
about
it.
M
F
N
N
The
initial
concern
was
the
loss
of
FTE
to
support
the
program,
however,
because
the
program
provides
an
invaluable
service
to
the
children
of
Clay
County,
our
local
representative,
senator
Bradley
and
representative
Cummings
fought
hard
for
us
in
Tallahassee
and
received
a
$750,000
grant
to
support
the
program
here
in
Clay
County
Senator
Bradley
stated
last
year
we
were
able
to
provide
state
funds
to
establish
a
pay
Center
for
Girls
in
Clay
County.
This
year
we
saw
an
equally
successful
program
for
the
at-risk
males
in
the
community.
N
This
is
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
help
kids
in
Clay
County,
who
otherwise
are
likely
to
end
up
in
our
juvenile
or
adult
correctional
systems.
Representative
Cummings
has
stated
I'm
very
excited
to
help
bring
ami
kids
to
Clay
County.
We
are
now
able
to
offer
quality
alternative
school
programs
to
both
boys
and
girls
locally,
and
any
intervention
to
benefit
at-risk
youth
is
a
great
investment
in
our
community.
N
Some
of
the
benefits
of
the
program
are
listed
here,
go
ahead
and
just
click
through
typically,
students
who
are
at-risk
do
not
finish
high
school
and
end
up
dropping
out.
Not
only
does
this
affect
school
and
district
accountability
but,
more
importantly,
it
affects
our
community.
We
have
students
who
aren't
able
to
successfully
support
themselves
and
their
families
by
providing
specialized
services
to
students
for
12
to
18
months.
These
students
are
more
likely
to
stay
in
school
and
graduate.
N
N
And
my
kids
has
agreed
to
a
15%
administrative
fee
as
opposed
to
the
standard
five
percent
and
mid
administrative
fee
associated
with
most
of
the
programs.
They
will
pay
a
rental
fee
back
to
the
district
for
the
space
they're
going
to
use
on
our
campus.
They
will
also
pay
the
cost
of
maintenance,
custodial
fees,
modifications
to
the
portables
that
will
that
they'll
do
at
clay
high
school.
N
They
will
also
be
providing
transportation
for
these
students
to
attend
the
program
and
finally,
lunch
will
be
provided
by
the
district,
but
that
will
be
reimbursed
to
the
appropriate
rates.
As
with
any
program
in
a
public
school
system,
this
school
will
collect
the
FTE
for
the
students
that
it
serves:
anticipating
20
students
for
the
first
year
with
a
maximum
student
capacity
of
44.
The
financial
impact
of
this
program
once
all
costs
are
factored,
is
minimal.
N
The
grant
that
has
been
secured
for
the
program
will
cover
a
range
of
services
for
the
students
from
behavior
intervention
to
individual
counseling,
family
counseling,
drug
treatment
and
prevention,
social
services
and
psychological
counseling.
Again,
with
the
projected
enrollment
for
2015-16
being
approximately
20
students
and
pace
started
out,
there
max
is
15
this
year,
they've
gotten
to
about
20-25
students,
so
that
first
year
there
aren't
they
aren't
anticipated
to
hit
the
forty.
For
this
final
graphic
is
simply
meant
to
show
the
investment
on
a
whole
scale.
N
Jungmann
twenty
to
forty
four
students
that
we
can
keep
in
our
schools
equates
to
roughly
500,000
and
FTE
that
the
district
will
retain
over
the
next
four
years.
If
these
students
graduate
high
school
and
become
productive
citizens,
as
I
stated
in
the
beginning,
the
minimal
investment
far
outweighs
the
benefits
for
the
students
and
their
futures
in
Clay,
County
I
hope
you
will
join
me
in
thanking
our
Clay
County
legislative
delegation
for
making
this
program
possible
and
that
you
will
welcome.
Am
I
kids
to
our
district
any
questions.
E
F
M
Last
year,
the
first
day
of
school
I
tried
to
push
out
all
of
the
district
office
administrators
into
schools,
and
we
had
a
few
more
boots
on
the
ground.
If
you
will
the
first
day
or
two
a
school
all
over
the
district,
it
was
very
appreciated
by
the
schools
and
I
think
the
district
level
administrators
got
to
feel
a
little
more
engaged
than
they
do
just
reporting
down
to
900
Walnut.
It
was
a
chance
for
them
to
make
make
some
impact
there.
M
Our
next
board
meeting
would
be
scheduled
to
be
that
third
Thursday
the
same
week.
The
students
would
come
back
and
if
all
of
you
have
your
vacations
over
I,
don't
miss,
go,
have
thousands
got
her
first
child
starting
the
school
so
she'll
be
here.
I
know
me
and
miss
Conlon
will
be
around
if
it
would
please
the
board,
if
I
could
gain
consensus
to
move
that
meeting
one
week,
my
emphasis
would
be
to
have
my
district
staff
focused
on
opening
schools
that
we
versus
preparing
for
a
board.
M
Q
Q
A
M
G
A
R
A
M
A
The
next
item
up
is
item
d2.
We
need
to
appoint
one
board,
member
and
one
private
citizen
to
serve
a
one-year
term
on
the
value
of
Jeff
adjustment
board
for
a
one-year
term,
beginning
August,
1st
2015
and
ending
July
31st
2016,
and
we
also
need
to
approve
an
alternate
as
well.
I
know,
in
the
assignments
that
we
had
put
out
this
year,
I
believe
it
was
mrs.
stuttered
who
was
given
that
assignment,
and
so
we
need
to
vote
on
that
and
then,
if
there's
anybody
that
would
like
to
do
the
alternate
on
that
do.
S
A
A
A
M
A
Q
A
A
S
A
A
S
The
reason
I
pull
this
is
I
pulled
it
because
it
was
on
the
consent,
agenda
and
I
felt
that
it
needed
to
be
explained
to
the
public.
What
we
were
doing
since
there
was
this
huge
particle
in
the
clay
today
last
week,
saying
that
we
had
this
program
coming
to
clay
high
school,
but
I
have
talked
to
Senator
Bradley
and
miss
Ellis
mr.
Kornegay,
and
got
most
of
my
questions
answered.
One
thing
I
want
to
know
is
that
85%
it
says
if
the
FE
FP
is
it
that
or
is
it
they
FTE
I.

L
A
U
Liz
Crain,
you
have
my
address
on
record
good
evening
when
she
was
5
years
old
when
she
was
five
years
old.
She
entered
kindergarten,
Sally
wasn't
too
sure
about
school.
She
wanted
to
continue
to
play
in
pre-k
at
first
we
began
with
alphabet
review
and
Sally
at
that
time
could
not
identify
more
than
50%
of
her
letters
or
sounds.
The
letter
n
gave
her
particular
trouble.
I
was
worried
that
we
were
going
to
have
to
start
the
MTS
s
process
with
her.
After
about
30
days,
we
began
word.
U
Building,
take
two
letters
build
the
word
at
at
at
at
first
Sally
had
some
success
with
this,
but
as
the
lessons
progressed
and
got
harder
and
harder,
she
started
to
falter
and
she
got
frustrated.
She
cried
and
eventually
she
would
shut
down.
At
this
time
the
class
was
beginning
with
their
guided
readers
in
reading
and
but
not
Sally.
At
this
point,
we
were
still
working
on
the
alphabetic
principle,
but
sadly
began
to
notice
that
her
classmates
were
progressing
and
succeeding.
U
She
also
began
to
notice
that
it
wasn't
100
talent
but
5%
talent
in
95
percent,
hard
work.
She
demonstrated
this
one
day
when
another
student
bot
was
bothering
her
and
she
said,
leave
me
alone
I'm,
trying
to
get
it
right.
Eventually
she
did
begin
reading
and
she
would
practice
and
practice
and
practice
in
her
running
record
check
outs
for
near-flawless.
She
also
noticed
that
some
of
her
classmates
were
moving
on
and
doing
accelerated
reader
and
passing
quizzes
and
I
noticed
a
new
to
hunger
develop
in
Sally.
She
came
to
me.
U
Miss
crane
I
want
to
do
a
are.
When
can
I
to
do?
When
can
I?
Do
it?
I
said
honey?
We
got
to
continue
with
the
guided
readers
first.
So,
but
if
you
want,
we
could
do
two
books
a
week,
but
you
got
to
practice
and
you
got
to
continue
to
rock
your
running
records.
Oh
I
will
miss
crane
I
most
certainly
will
and
she
continued
and
she
progressed,
and
she
still
confirmed
that
it
was
about
the
hard
work,
not
the
talent
soon
she
wanted
to
know.
When
can
I
start
mr.
U
crane
she
came
to
when
can
I
start
miss
crane,
so
we
got
out
of
calendar
and
we
looked
at
that
calendar
and
she
was
going
to
be
able
to
start
right
after
Easter.
She
was
so
excited.
She
told
every
kid
in
my
class
she
told
the
kids
in
the
hallway
she
told
the
kids
on
the
playground.
She
went
home,
told
the
kid
told
her
whole
family,
which
is
quite
large,
I,
even
got
a
text
message
from
her
mother,
saying
oh
she's,
so
excited
can't,
wait.
Well,
Easter
came
and
she
started
a
our.
She
started.
U
Taking
quizzes
we
had
her
ups,
we
had
our
downs.
Some
of
the
other
kids
wanted
a
word
count
goal
for
the
end
of
the
year.
She
came
to
me.
Miss
crane
I
have
to
have
a
word
count
goal
no
Sally
I,
don't
want
to
put
too
much
pressure
on
you
you're
doing
great.
No
I
have
to
have
one
okay,
so
we
gave
her
a
count
of
15
thousand
words
by
the
end
of
the
year.
She
not
only
passed
that
goal.
It
was
seventeen
thousand
two
hundred
words
now
remember.
This
is
from
April
sixth
through
June.
U
Fourth
she's
five
I
was
so
proud
of
her.
We
all
were
its
students
like
Sally,
that
inspire
us.
It
students
like
Sally
that
remind
us
what
it's
like,
that
it
comes
down
to
the
work,
not
necessarily
the
talent
if
students
like
Sally,
that
we
teach
for
its
students
like
Sally
that
work
through
the
clouds,
so
they
can
shine.
Thank.
G
M
I'm
still
excited
about
the
1516
school
year.
Coming
up,
we
have
so
many
great
things
going
on
in
just
blow
your
mind.
So
I'll
tell
you
about
a
couple
of
them.
As
you
know
this
year,
we're
moving
into
our
second
year
of
our
water
law
Academy
program,
so
every
ninth,
grader
and
10th
grader
will
be
in
an
Academy.
We
have
worked
diligently
with
our
high
school
administrators
guidance.
Counselors
we've
had
some
special
training
with
them.
M
With
some
Academy
experts,
we've
been
able
to
cohort
the
majority
of
our
high
school
students
schedules
to
where,
in
three
of
the
six
classes
they
have
every
day
they're
in
the
classes,
with
basically
the
same
kids
and
as
we
build
out
over
the
next
couple
of
years.
The
administrator
for
your
son
that
goes
into
ninth
grade
will
be
consistent.
The
guidance
counselor
it's
just
really
coming
together
very
well.
M
The
collaborative
classroom
effort
that
we
have
going
in
the
elementary
school
is
paying
huge
dividends.
I
I
talk
to
teachers,
they
they
get
to
go
look
and
they
see
what
quote
right
looks
like
it's
modeled.
It's
coming
back
out:
I
dropped
in
on
a
PLC
training.
Today
that
dr.
Weiskopf
was
doing
with
some
of
our
administrators
and
I
saw
some
teachers
that
want
to
be
administrators
there
in
the
room.
M
That's
very
encouraging
they're
not
being
compensated
for
that,
but
they're
trying
to
figure
out
how
are
the
best
ways
to
do
some
things
if
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
go
by
Orange,
Park
High
School
put
that
on
your
calendar
for
the
first
month
or
so
of
the
school
year,
we're
creating
or
have
created
and
they're
busy,
implementing
and
Advanced
Studies
degree.
The
community
loves
that
there's
a
huge
waiting
list
will
mr.
M
DeJesus
do
here
will
probably
have
to
expand
that
by
this
time
next
year,
there's
just
a
real
hunger
for
it
there
so
that
that's
a
great
thing:
I
went
by
the
transportation
yard
this
morning
there
in
Middleburg
next
to
Middleburg,
high
school
and
was
talked
in
talking
with
mr.
warm
berg
and
looking
at
our
our
bus
fleet
and
just
kind
of
catching
up
on
some
things.
We've
been
able
to
through
routing
and
really
some
intentional
groundwork,
be
able
to
collapse.
A
few
more
routes
gain
some
more
efficiencies.
M
If
you
go
back
to
where
the
administrative
offices
are
on
that
property
and
if
you've
been
there
more
than
six
months
ago,
you'll
notice,
just
the
way
it
looks,
is
that
area
has
been
really
cleaned
up.
We've
dropped
some
millings,
we've
moved
part
of
our
maintenance
department.
You
know
Green
Cove
is
the
county
seat
of
Clay
County
and
used
to
kind
of
be
the
hub,
but
really
most
of
Clay
County.
Is
that
way?
M
So
we
have
some
of
our
maintenance
workers
that
report
there
and
it's
a
whole
lot
quicker,
more
efficient
to
get
out
to
Oakley
front
up
to
Orange
Park
SBJ
those
those
kind
of
areas
so
we're
gaining
some
efficiencies.
There
I
received
a
letter
today,
Fleming
out
on
high
schools
banned
in
Oakley,
High
School's
band
have
been
invited
to
go
to
Washington
DC
our
nation's
capital
and
marching
the
4th
of
July
Independence
Day
parade
next
year,
I
sent
out
a
fourth
of
July
message.
M
S
Start
with
me,
okay,
one
thing:
I
was
remiss
and
saying
while
ago.
Well,
I
hadn't
really
had
a
chance
because
it
was
on
the
consent
agenda,
but
I
wanted
the
public
to
know
that,
with
the
allocations
that
we
passed
tonight
that
mr.
Kornegay
and
staff
heard
the
board
as
far
as
our
wish
that
we
could
get
music
and
back
into
the
schools
and
we
have
one-
we
have
we're
going
to
have
some
strange-looking
people
next
year,
we're
gonna
have
half
a
teacher.
S
In
several
schools
know
we
do
have
a
split
arrangement
where
we're
going
to
have
a
point
five
at
a
point:
five,
so
that
two
schools
can
share
a
music
teacher
and
I
believe
mr.
Kornegay
tell
me
that
all
of
our
Elementary's
will
have
music
except
one,
and
that
one
is
going
to
reevaluate
next
year
because
they
have
to
Pease
and
no
music
right
and
then
we
also
have
art
and
we
added
2.5
art
in
the
allocation.
S
So
there
is
a
move
towards
making
sure
that
our
students
are
exposed
to
the
resources
such
as
music
and
art,
and
we
want
to
have
it
equalized
throughout
the
district.
So
I'm
real
tickled
with
that
with
this
as
a
you
know,
we've
got
to
the
point
5
and
hopefully
one
of
these
days
we'll
be
able
to
get
hold
people
back.
R
E
R
Our
household
is
very
excited
to
be
a
real
part
of
Lake
Asbury
elementary
next
year,
and
it
was
such
a
privilege
to
watch
these
retirees
this
evening.
Mr.
green
ogre
was
one
of
my
teachers
in
junior
high
school
and
anyway,
I
just
I'm,
so
appreciative
to
be
a
part
of
this
community.
It's
such
a
tight-knit
family
and
I'm
excited
for
the
next
month.
R
F
L
F
S
C
F
A
Q
I
would
also
like
to
echo
my
congratulations
to
the
retirees
and
to
the
administrators
who've
passed
that,
and
it
was
interesting
to
note
that
the
smiles
were
different
on
the
faces,
the
smiles
that
the
retirees
were
very
relaxed
smiles
and
the
smiles
of
the
administrators
were
happy
but
pensive.
So
I
guess
that's
good
for
all
those
retirees
that
we
wouldn't
want
them
to
be
pensive
about
retirement.
Q
But
congratulations
and
and
our
heartfelt
gratitude
for
the
years
of
service
that
was
3,000,
28
or
28
years
of
service
as
many
many
lifetimes
and
then
the
only
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
clarify
ahead
of
time
of
next
week's
workshop
for
our
legal
services.
Is
that
I
understand
from
multiple
sources
that
some
of
my
comments
in
our
last
meeting
were
missed,
either
misinterpreted
or
not
clear
and
so
I
wanted
to
clarify
those
and
and
that
those
were
my
comments
about
mr.
Sykes
and
mr.
Q
Sykes
is
a
very
well
recognized
accomplished,
attorney
both
in
our
United
States,
military
and
in
our
civilian
and
so
I
have
the
utmost
respect
for
his
work.
I
would
also
like
the
public
to
know,
because
you
probably
don't
know
this-
that
there
is
probably
only
one
or
two
other
people
in
our
County
who
know
more
about
esa
law,
because
mr.
Sykes
has
personal
experience
in
that
arena,
and
that
makes
a
difference.
So
if
what
we're
looking
for
is
ESA
law,
then
we
may
have
an
expert
right
in
our
midst.
Q
But
what
I
said
that
was
not
clear
was
my
feelings
about
when
I
said
and
I
can't
I,
don't
remember
exactly
what
I
said,
but
something
to
the
effect
of
healing
that
I
thought
needed
to
go
on
and
move
on
and
when
I
came
on
the
board.
Mr.
Bittner
was
our
attorney
and
I
spoke
to
mr.
Bruckner
two
times
and
I
asked
him
for
his
opinion.
Q
One
time
a
legal
opinion
one
time-
and
it
was
my
exchanges
with
him-
were
less
than
Pleasant
and
I
felt
very
awkward
and
I
understand
that
he
was
well
supported
by
my
seat
in
the
past
and
that
that
was
the
person
that
I
had
ran
against
and
so
I
understood
how
he
felt
and
then
I
I
feel
the
same
way
with
mr.
Sykes
coming
in
I.
Think
some
of
our
board
members
felt
like
he
was
mr.
Van,
Zant's
guy
and
so
no
matter
how
good
his
legal
opinion
could
be.
Q
It
would
not
be
pure,
and
so
all
I
was
trying
to
say
when
I
was
asking
us
to
consider.
Maybe
an
outside
firm
would
be
that
I
think
with
multiple
people
giving
us
legal
opinions.
Depending
on
the
issue,
we
might
have
less
likelihood
to
have
some
kind
of
personal
connections
where
all
of
us
could
not
feel
comfortable
with
the
legal
opinion
given,
and
that
was
all
I
just
want
to
clarify
what
I
said
in
preparation
for
next
week's
workshops,
so
that
my
comments
hopefully
now
are
clear.
Okay,.
A
A
the
workshop
will
be
for
the
purpose
of
discussing
the
district's
legal
services
and
then
the
special
meeting
will
be
for
the
purpose
of
approving
the
tentative
1516
budget
and
the
required
advertisement,
and
that
was
basically
the
workshop
that
we
had
today
and
then
the
fall
going
to
x'
day
july
28th.
We
will
have
another
special
meeting
at
6
p.m.
and
this
will
be
for
the
purpose
of
holding
the
first
public
hearing
on
the
budget
and
the
adoption
of
the
millage
and
the
tentative
budget
for
1516.
A
So
those
are
the
upcoming
meetings,
the
next
two
Tuesday's
in
a
row.
The
other
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
mention
is
that
I
am
going
to
be
serving
on
the
athletic
Appeals
committee.
So
that's
something
that
I'll
be
doing,
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
echo
miss
Condon
on
congratulations
to
the
retirees
and
to
all
of
the
new
administrative
personnel
who
got
their
certificates.
A
It
was
wonderful
and
his
identical
twin
brother
who's
serving
in
the
United
States
Navy
overseas
in
Guam,
got
married
13
days
later
and
brought
his
bride
home
to
meet
the
family
and
all
her
family
came
and
I
mean
we
just
had
a
wonderful
4th
of
July.
So
it's
been
a
whirlwind
for
me,
and
things
have
finally
calmed
down.
The
McKinnon
household
and
I
can
get
back
to
work
and
kind
of
focus
on
other
things.
