From YouTube: February 23, 2016 Regular Board Meeting
Description
See the agenda here: http://agenda.oneclay.net/publishing/ap-agendas.html
A
So
my
grandfather
before
me
was
an
FFA
and
the
late-night
or
the
early
1960s,
late
1950s,
and
so,
if
a
FFA
and
agriculture,
a
big
tradition
in
my
family
and
in
seventh
grade
I
got
involved
in
FFA
and
I,
never
really
thought
it
would
snowball
into
what
it
is
today.
I
started
showing
a
pig
I
got
all
these
different
essays.
I
work
at
The,
Amazing,
Grace
crop
maze,
I
had
my
community
garden
I,
do
all
those
amazing
things,
and
slowly
over
time
it
developed
into
more
and
more
and
having
leadership.
A
In
my
chapter
being
able
to
exert
more
leadership
over
my
school
just
having
the
opportunity
to
grow
as
an
individual
is
something
that
really
motivated
me.
As
I
continue
to
move
through
high
school,
so
high
school
has
been
a
really
great
experience
for
me,
and
CTE
has
really
changed.
Who
I
am
and
made
me
a
more
well-rounded
individual,
so
the
world
that
we
live
in
today
is
so
crazy.
Information
is
coming
at
us
constantly.
A
Our
food
comes
from
halfway
across
the
world
a
lot
of
the
times,
and
everybody
in
this
room
probably
has
a
cell
phone
on
them
that
they
can
pick
up
and
Google
anything
they
want
to
and
ten
years
ago
it
was
not
like
that,
and
so
that's
why
CTE
is
so
important
to
our
education
systems,
because
as
society
changes
so
do
our
education
systems
need
to
change
with
them
and
as
high
school
kind
of
whines
down
and
I
come
into
some.
My
last
year's
and
said
my
last
experiences.
A
A
I,
just
I'm
really
here
today
to
thank
you
for
having
that
impact
on
me.
Thank
you
for
letting
me
have
that
impact
on
my
community
and
I
think
that
CTE
is
something
for
all
generations
for
the
past,
for
my
grandfather
for
me
today
and
going
into
the
future
where
I
want
to
come
back
and
teach
CTE
and
have
an
effect
on
the
next
generation
of
Clay
County
students,
so
I.
Thank
you
for
everything
that
you've
done
for
me.
A
B
Mean
we
can
go
home
tonight,
can't
we
not
yet
because
I
have
another
treat
for
you
guys.
I've
got
Madison
Moyer
from
Clay
high
school
Madison
is
a
senior
as
well.
She
is
going
to
attend
Florida
Institute
of
Technology.
This
fall
what's
so
cool
about
Madison
as
she
is
in
automotive
maintenance
and
Technology.
Not
what
you're
going
to
think
when
you
see
miss
Madison,
so
she's
got
some
great
stuff
to
share
with
us
and
by
the
way,
her
principal
mr.
Carrie
Dix
is
here
tonight,
and
so
is
her
automotive
teacher
mr.
Frank
Mancuso.
C
C
E
D
Kind
of
goes
through
that
phase,
where
they
don't
really
know
what
they're
gonna
do
that
was
me.
I
started
off
wanting
to
be
veterinary,
I've,
always
been
kind
of
scared
of
what
I
was
going
to
do.
You
know
and
I
just
decided
I
was
going
to
try
something
different
and
I
enrolled
into
the
automotive
program
and
I
realized
that
I
loved
doing
it.
D
It's
just
something
I
enjoyed
and
so
I
stuck
with
it
and
it
kind
of
opened
my
eyes
to
what
my
passion
was
and
it
kind
of
just
I
really
enjoyed,
and
just
this
year
I
built
a
Chevy
350
engine
and
cleaned
it
all
up,
and
it
was
not
even
running
last
year.
So
it's
like
it's
kind
of
crazy
I
started
studying
for
my
first
AC
cam,
which
I
took
yesterday
and
passed
so
I
find
him
take
another
one.
D
I
plan
to
take
my
second
one,
probably
the
end
of
this
year.
I
have
two
periods
of
automated
this
year
and
I'm
kind
of
looked
up
upon
is
from
the
other
people.
I
also
volunteer
in
my
spare
time
at
an
auto
shop
across
the
street,
just
kind
of
to
expand
my
knowledge
and
get
more
experience
with
everything.
I've
definitely
learned
a
lot,
there's
just
something
about
like
working
with
the
machines
that
just
rez
your
heart
up.
You
know
it's
just
fun
to
me:
okay
got
some
laughs
on
that.
D
D
D
E
D
F
That's
great
in
Madison,
Madison
I
just
want
to
say
something
real,
quick,
Madison
mad
at
Madison
I
just
want
to
say
something
a
little
quick
to
you.
First
of
all,
I
am
so
inspired
by
your
story
and
I
will
just
say
for
whatever
it's
worth
when
I
was
a
senior
in
high
school
I
took
auto
shop,
I
was
the
only
woman.
I
was
the
only
senior
and
it
led
me
down
that
same
path,
and
so
you
are
picking
a
great,
a
great
field
to
go
into,
and
it's
all
about,
loving
to
work
with
your
hands.
B
So
I
told
you
all
I
was
giving
you
guys
a
special
treat
tonight,
two
fabulous
students
who
are
very
touched
by
what
CT
does
for
them
day
in
and
day
out
and
and
you
guys
can
see
as
well
as
I,
can
that
they're
going
to
go
off
from
Clay
County
and
do
great
things.
Hopefully,
they'll
come
back
to
Clay
County
done
to
help
continue
and
move
us
forward.
So
thank
y'all,
happy,
CT,
em
up
and,
as
william
said,
happy
FFA
National
FFA
week
have
a
go.
B
F
F
G
You,
madam
chair,
and
just
to
follow
up
I,
was
in
Tallahassee
I
think
it
was
two
weeks
ago
and
I'm
rounding
the
corner
and
I
hear
some
familiar
voices
and
who
do
I
run
into,
but
mr.
William
Donaghy,
the
young
man
that
just
spoke
to
us
and
a
group
of
kids
from
the
Florida
Farm
Bureau,
all
sporting,
their
blue
corduroy
jackets,
all
from
Clay
County,
and
they
were
waiting
to
see
our
senator
senator
Rob
Bradley
and
speak
to
him.
G
G
There
got
done
speaking
and
we're
ready
to
leave
and
Senator
Bradley
is
like
what
do
you
need?
Mr.
superintended?
If
that
didn't
convince
you
I
can't
say
anything
more
to
it.
I
mean
our
students.
These
programs
represent
us
so
well.
It
made
it
really
easy
for
me
just
another
middle-aged
dude
walking
in
like
everybody
else
up
there,
just
to
say
hey,
you
just
heard
it
straight
from
the
recipient,
so
who's
going
to
be
getting
this
appropriation,
so
I'm
that
scream
our
kids
do
what's
proud
every
time
mr.
G
G
Last
month
we
were
able
to
bring
your
little
news
on
our
graduation
rates
and
about
two
weeks
ago
on
Friday
I
think
was
a
Friday
before
Valentine's
Day
district
grades
were
published,
so
this
was
the
first
look.
We
got
at
how
Clay
County
and
all
the
other
counties
fared
under
the
new
Florida
assessment
system
and
next
slide.
Please
I'm
happy
to
report
to
you
that
Clay
County
is
an
a-rated
school
district,
we're
on
a
climb
to
be
a
top
ten
district
and
out
of
the
districts
in
North
Florida
that
are
in
a
school
I'm.
G
Thank
you
and
again
that
that
is
not
anybody
sitting
up
here
on
this
diet,
that
is,
our
teachers
and
our
administrators
and
our
support
staff,
knocking
it
out
of
the
park
every
day
the
people
in
our
instructional
division,
I
was
talking
to
some
teachers.
Today
we
were
talking
supplemental
materials
and
curriculum
maps
and
how
they
enjoy
what's
there
now,
because
it's
embedded
and
they
can
pull
down,
there's
just
so
many
things
that
you
can
pull
into
your
lesson.
G
Plans
now
and
our
teachers
are
really
doing
some
fabulous
work
in
our
schools
every
day,
so
I
thank
them
for
that
effort.
I
thank
our
students
for
their
great
effort
and
we're
moving
through
this
together.
Thanks
a
lot,
please
just
to
recap
where
we
are
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
With
our
graduation
rates
in
the
1112
year,
we
were
a
little
bit
below
the
state
average
and
based
on
the
1415
school
year.
G
Our
rates
have
increased
nine
and
a
half
percent
over
the
last
four
years,
and
what
I'm
most
impressed
by
is
for
the
first
time
in
history,
Clay
County
is
above
the
national
average.
Clay
County
is
over
150
years
old.
We've
never
had
a
graduation
rate
to
exceed
the
national
average,
and
now
we
do
so
again.
Thank
you
for
all
those
that
are
making
it
happen
for
our
students
every
day.
G
As
that
happens,
we
have
several
of
our
businesses
here
in
Clay
County
that
are
supporting
the
academies
of
Clay
their
business
partners.
In
with
these
Academy
coaches,
they
attend
the
Academy
team
meetings,
they're
investing
time
in
mentorship
with
our
kids
they're
doing
internships
and
externships
we've
got
all
kinds
of
business
partnerships
going
and
I'd
like
to
personally
thank
them.
Mr.
G
bill
garrison
with
the
clay
economic
development
council,
he's
worked
with
us,
and
many
of
these
business
leaders
in
Clay
County
are
writing
letters
to
the
governor
and
members
that
chair
Appropriations
committees
in
the
legislature
to
help
us
push
forward
the
board's
legislative
priorities
and
to
try
to
find
a
few
more
dollars
to
invest
in
our
students.
So
we've
built
a
great
coalition
and
that
can
be
the
engagement
part.
G
You
know
we
used
to
just
kind
of
do
it
all
with
the
people
we
had
here
within
the
school
district
and
really
and
truly
in
2016,
that
that,
in
my
humble
opinion
is
simply
not
enough,
we
need
to
engage
those
in
the
community
that
believe
in
what
we're
doing,
and
it's
not
a
hard
sell.
When
we
talk
to
him
about,
what's
going
on
in
our
school
system,
they're
very
happy
to
come
alongside
so
I'm
thankful
for
that
did.
I
did
you
want
to
say
anything
about
mr.
Condon,
you
don't
have
to
I
didn't
know.
G
H
I
went
to
the
FSB
a
legislative
days
in
Tallahassee,
and
it
was
my
first
one.
It
was
very
eye-opening.
We
got
to
see
meet
with
Senator
Bradley,
we
passed
representative
Cummings
on
the
highway.
He
was
headed
back
this
way,
but
I've
spoken
to
him
and
and
then
representative
Van
Zandt
for
the
south
end
of
the
county.
We
also
got
to
meet
with
representatives
Smith
and
Sullivan,
who
are
either
on
education
committees
or
will
be
on
education
committees
right
now.
H
So
it
was
just
really
a
great
experience
and
and
then,
though,
I
guess,
the
last
thing
was
that
I
did
get
to
spend
some
time
with
our
southern
strategies.
People
and
they
actually
got
us
in
to
see
representative
frozen's
aide
did
not
see
well,
I
did
see
frozen
for
30
seconds,
but
but
did
not
know.
One
was
getting
in
frozen's
door
that
that
week,
obviously
with
that
many
school
board
members
running
around
the
Capitol,
but
I
did
get
to
speak
with
his
aide.
H
I
F
F
F
K
Thank
You
Tracy,
Butler
I
represent
both
husband,
see
CA,
and
my
information
is
on
file.
The
Union
provides
legal
representation
for
its
members
in
that
representation
is
for
matters
regarding
employment
accusations
and
certificate
issues.
However,
it
is
not
the
responsibility
of
the
Union
to
provide
representation
to
employees
when
they
are
subpoenaed
to
give
testimony
in
lawsuits
against
the
district
or
testimony
and
custody
issues
regarding
their
students.
That
is
the
respondent.
A
ssin
is
the
responsibility
of
this
district
and
has
always
been
provided
by
the
district's
legal
department.
K
However,
for
about
a
year
now
or
a
little
more,
our
teachers
have
been
calling
our
office
and
stating
that
they
are
not
receiving
support
in
this
area,
and
this
is
a
great
concern
to
me
as
an
advocate
for
our
teachers
and
support
personnel.
I
would
like
for
this
board
to
to
speak
with
mr.
Sykes
about
this.
It
should
give
you
great
concern
that
this
is
happening.
These
cases
have
always
typically
been
handled
by
the
attorney
he
has
always
given
our
teacher
support
and
these
lawsuits
are
filed
against
the
district.
K
F
L
Actually,
this
was
just
discussion
from
last
yeah
to
discuss
what
to
do
with
and
I
think
miss
Butler
has
a
point
there
about
our
legal
services
I'd
like
to
ask
mr.
Sikes.
If
the
employees
do
contact
him,
would
he
follow
up
on
on
it
and
prepare
them?
If
it's
I
think
the
case
she's
talking
about
is
a
deposition
that
has
to
be
given
or
she
it.
M
N
I've
spoken
to
his
teacher
three
different
times
what
it
refers
to
as
a
matter
that
there's
litigation
from
2010
in
which
has
been
previously
settled
by
the
school
board,
and
there
is
no
pending
action
against
the
school
board.
What
specifically
she
wanted
was
a
copy
of
her
statement
that
she
gave
to
mr.
bickerman
mr.
Bergner
didn't
leave
that
file.
Nor
did
he
brief
me
in
any
way
shape
or
form
in
this
case,
I've
looked
into
it.
N
I
have
no
copies
of
any
statements
that
she's
given
and
I
can't
give
that
information
to
her
as
to
the
other
side
of
the
coin,
when
teachers
call
me
up-
and
they
ask
me
about
depositions
if
they
are
being
sued
and
if
they're
being
subpoenaed
in
their
official
capacity,
that
is
part
of
the
function
of
the
school
board
to
represent
them,
but
if
they're
not
being
subpoenaed
in
their
official
capacity
and
they're
being
subpoenaed
as
a
faculty.
This,
this
person
is
a
fact
witness
to
to
a
get-together
that
occurred
off
duty.
F
N
Special
counsel
may
be
retained
to
assist
the
board
attorney
in
any
litigation
or
other
matters
when
specifically
approved
by
the
school
board.
That's
it.
It
says
nothing
about
who
teachers
individually,
when
they're
doing
their
beef
to
be
fact
witnesses
and
in
fact,
I
will
tell
you
that
in
other
governmental
capacities,
it's
the
same
thing
and
that's
that
the
counties
do
other
school
boards.
Do
it
the
same
way.
The
school
board
attorneys
systematically
do
not
represent
teachers,
as
fact
witnesses,
but
when,
if
they
have
a
question,
I
could
give
an
example.
N
The
same
thing
with
this
teacher,
we
spoke
several
times
on
this
issue
of
the
subpoena
they
subpoenaed
her
to
testify
as
a
fact
witness
during
the
spring
break,
so
I
explained
her
I
cannot
as
a
school
board.
Tourney
object
to
anything
in
that
proceeding,
but
she
asked
me.
Would
you
give
me
the
courtesy
of
calling
this
attorney
I
said
absolutely
so.
N
I
called
the
the
attorney
I
told
him
about
the
fact
that
she's
going
to
be
up
in
North
Carolina
on
a
vacation
and
asked
if
he
would
be
so
kind
as
to
give
us
the
Grace
and
the
courtesy
to
continue
the
hearing,
and
he
has
to
coordinate
that
with
other
attorneys.
But
he
promised
me
that
he
would
contact
her
and
see
if
he
could
reschedule
it
and
he's
trying
to
do
that.
But
if
he
chooses
to
go
forward
with
that
deposition,
there's
nothing
legally.
I
can
do
to
stop
that.
So.
L
N
N
L
N
L
I
am,
after
last
month's
meeting,
went
home
and
thought
about
it
and
I
liked
what
miss
Gill
house
and
suggested
that
possibly
waiting
until
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
which
would
be
June
30th
sometime
around
then
to
see
if
our
budget
allows
us
to
look
into
a
full
I'm
attorney.
So
if
the
rest
of
the
board
agrees
with
that,
I
would
be
fine
with
postponing
it.
I
would.
O
Agree
with
that,
but
I
didn't
say,
a
full-time
attorney,
but
I
would
be
interested
in
this
doing
is,
instead
of
having
another
job
description
and
advertising
a
job
description.
Instead,
we
do
an
RFP
and
we
look
into
possibly
hiring
a
firm
to
represent
us.
I
think
there
might
be
an
opportunity
to
honestly
expand
our
legal
services
but
I
just
like
the
model.
We
did
get
one
applicant.
O
That
was
a
firm
and
to
me
that
application
stood
out
among
all
the
rest
and
I'd
like
to
see
a
comparison
of
firms
as
a
potential
hire
and
I
think
that
we
would
get
better
services
if
we're
not
and
we'd
have
a
better
opportunity
to
negotiate
salary.
If
you
know
we
don't
have
an
exact
if
we're
not
advertising
as
a
job
description
with
this
is
your
salary.
You
know
what
I'm
saying
if
we
do
an
RFP
and
ask
for
bids
instead.
Well.
L
F
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you.
Miss
Carrick,
Asst
miss
Gill,
housen,
okay.
The
next
item
up
is
item
C
19.
This
was
pulled
from
the
consent
agenda.
Believe
Miss
Carrick
has
pulled
this,
but
before
we
get
to
it,
we
do
have
a
couple
of
yellow
cards
on
this.
Mr.
otto
I
found
your
card,
and
your
card
did
not
address
the
item
that
we
just
spoke
about.
Your
card
specifically
addresses
football.
F
Let's
see
you
wrote
football
doctors
and
pills
so
whatever
that
is,
there's
nothing
on
our
agenda
that
covers
that
it
will
go
to
the
end
of
the
presentations
from
the
audience.
There's
nothing
written
on
there.
Doesn't
it
doesn't
tell
you
which
item
and
that
so
all
I'm
saying
is
what
you
put
on
here.
We
don't
have
any
item
on
the
agenda
to
cover
that,
and
so
this
will
be
covered
at
the
end
of
the
meeting.
You'll
get
a
chance
to
speak,
it'll
just
be
at
the
end
of
the
meeting
with
the
other
ones.
F
J
Yes,
good
evening,
renly
Paiva
and
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
CCE,
a
the
budget
for
the
CCA
accepted
by
this
board
in
July,
was
339
million
four
hundred
and
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
seventy
six
point.
Twelve.
Our
current
budget
now
stands
according
to
the
what
was
presented
by
Miss
Leggett
Co
at
three
hundred
and
forty-four
million,
one
hundred
and
fifty
eight
thousand
three
hundred
ninety
seven
point:
oh
six,
an
increase
in
revenue
of
almost
five
million
dollars.
J
J
P
Hi,
my
name
is
Victoria
Kidwell
and
I'm,
a
teacher
here
at
Clay
County.
My
address
is
on
file
I
wish
to
address
the
budget
amendment
in
the
third
calculation.
An
additional
I
believe,
6.2
million
was
funded
to
the
district
for
added
students
that
were
in
our
classrooms.
Teachers
have
served
these
students
in
their
classrooms
in
many
classrooms.
Well
over
the
cap
for
the
class
size,
amendment
I
ask
that
you
not
allocate
these
budget
dollars
until
the
hearing
for
the
special
magistrate
has
been
said,
and
people
have
had
a
chance
to
speak.
P
As
you
know,
Clay
County
Board
is
at
impasse,
and
that
was
because
no
common
ground
could
be
reached.
We
called
in
that
third
party
a
specialist
to
recommend
compromise.
A
compromise
has
been
recommended
and
even
though
the
recommendations
of
the
special
magistrate
did
not
favor
teachers
on
all
counts,
the
teachers
feel
that,
given
the
financial
situation,
they
should
all
be
accepted
by
the
board.
Throughout
this
entire
year,
teacher
morale
has
been
really
low.
We
feel
we've
been
treated
unfairly
in
negotiations
and
that
the
district
is
unwilling
to
compromise
in
any
way
with
us.
P
In
fact,
there
is
even
been
a
move
to
silence
citizens
and
teachers
from
speaking
until
after
the
board's
has
made
critical
decisions,
even
though
we
have
not
settled
the
contract,
teachers
have
faithfully
fulfilled
our
responsibilities
to
the
children
of
Clay.
For
nearly
seven
months,
we've
been
working
without
a
contract,
we're
weary,
but
we're
still
hopeful
that
our
County
will
choose
to
do.
The
right
thing
accept
the
compromise,
recommendations
and
settle
last
year's
contract.
It's
almost
time
to
start
again
next
year.
P
I
Q
Q
First
of
all,
my
concern
about
the
quasi-judicial
hearing
and
it's
a
policy
in
the
school
board
and
I
realize
that
we
had
one
of
those
when
we
had
Mike
Ford
incident,
Mike
Ford
incident
with
two
unbiased
judges
in
two
different
hearings.
They
decided
and
made
this
as
the
part
of
their
final
judgement
and
both
of
those
hearings.
One
was
an
unemployment
hearing
and
one
was
a
hearing
for
professional
practices
that
there
was
an
incomplete
investigation
for
a
clip
from
Clay
County
Schools.
In
the
incident,
information
provided
by
human
resources,
inconsistent
with
the
facts.
Q
F
F
F
Q
Right,
the
expense
for
the
legal
fees
for
this
particular
quasi
judicial
hearing
where
people
were
not
allowed
to
speak,
which
was
at
a
school
board
meeting
all
right
and
the
expense
for
the
legal
fees
for
Calais
County
schools
for
this
particular
incident
was
over
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
Okay.
Now,
the
next
thing,
I
would
say,
is
the
cost
to
the
teacher
in
his
career
and
family
for
three
years
on
this
issue.
It
still
hasn't
been
settled,
even
though
the
state
has
reinstated
his
certification.
So
the
term
quasi-judicial
hearing
concerns
me
and
I
know.
Q
You
were
not
involved
in
that.
So
I'm
not
saying
that
about
you
and
I
know
you
weren't
involved
in
at
it
with
the
human
resources
department.
So
this
is
not
a
personal
thing.
That
is
a
policy
that
is
rarely
used
in
the
state
of
Florida
is
a
quasi-judicial
hearing
so
that
that
cost
the
county
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
next
thing,
I
would
say,
is:
there's
fur
there's
two
decisions
of
this
current
school
board
at
the
very
first
meeting
of
this
current
school
board,
all
right
can
I
have
like
30
more
seconds.
K
Q
And
one
of
those
decisions
was
that
lawyers
could
not
introduce
agenda
items
that
was
at
the
very
first
meeting
that
was
voted
on
by
the
school
board.
The
second
thing
was
the
superintendent's
ability
to
spend
the
original
three
thousand
dollars
without
board.
Approval
has
been
raised,
250
thousand
and
I
do
understand
that
a
lobbyist
was
hired
and
actually
I
think
the
lobbyist
is
probably
a
good
idea.
Q
However,
the
last
decision
by
the
school
board
was
not
to
hire
a
lobbyist,
so
in
a
lobbyist
position
in
the
state
of
Florida
is
one
of
the
positions
that
school
boards
are
allowed
to
hire.
Okay,
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
The
other
thing
is
all
these
decisions
were
unbiased
judges
that
made
these
decisions,
including
the
information
in
the
current
impasse
and
there's
6.2
million
dollars.
Q
That's
been
added
and
the
unbiased
judge
suggests
three
things
number
one
that
it
was
not
unreasonable
to
pay
new
hire
or
it
was
unreasonable
to
pay
new
hires
three
years
higher
on
the
salary
than
current
employees.
Two,
it
was
reasonable
to
pay
teachers
at
least
$1,000,
to
raise
the
level
closer
to
the
state
average.
As
long
as
there
was
increase
in
the
budget,
which
there
was
6.2
and
then
the
last
thing
that
the
unbiased
judge
recommended
was
that
Claes
County
Schools
pay
a
portion
of
the
health
benefits
because
they
haven't
done
that
since
2007.
F
F
L
Don't
remember
the
amount
at
the
time.
Somebody
else
probably
does
it
was
like
maybe
12
million
dollars,
and
you
know
if
you
look
at
our
fund
balance
all
of
a
sudden
it
spikes
up
for
two
or
three
years,
and
then
it
comes
back
down
as
if
we
actually
had
that
money,
but
that
money
was
earmarked
for
something
else
that
could
be
used.
L
So
I
just
felt
very
strong
that
before
we
just
approve
this
in
the
consent
agenda,
but
this
is
really
important
to
make
sure
that
we're
all
aware-
and
you
know
we
have
two
new
board
members
on
that-
you
know
you're
you're,
doing
your
understand
that
I
know,
but
just
to
make
sure
that
everybody's
aware
that
this
extra
money
is
going
in
the
fund,
balance
and
and
I
just
felt
that
it
was
something
as
a
board.
We,
the
five
of
us,
the
five
board
members
should
possibly
discuss
or
you
know
it
should
be
our
decision.
L
If
that's
where
we
want
it
to
go
and
that's
why
I
pulled
it
because
I
just
felt
it
was
too
important
to
be
in
the
consent
agenda
and
just
slipped
right
through
you
know
it's
on
January's
financials
nobody's
looking
just
to
prove
it.
We're
done
so.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you're
all
aware,
but
that's
where
this
is
going
and
like
I
said
my
suggestion
would
be
to
maybe
create
an
account
to
put
that
in
to
decide
what
what
we
want
to
use
that
for.
L
If
we
need
to-
and
you
know
our
original
plan
that
was
voted
on
last
year-
was
to
get
to
two
point-
five,
eight
by
the
end
of
this
year,
so
maybe
put
enough
in
there
to
get
to
two
point:
five
eight
and
put
the
remainder
in
another
account
and
follow
our
plan.
The
way
we
were
doing
it
I
just
think
that
you
know
putting
it
all
in
at
this
point,
and
then
you
know
having
decide
what
to
do
with
it
after
that
is
probably
I.
O
O
F
Yeah,
let
me
let
me
let
me
chime
in
on
that.
Actually
I
was
looking
through
the
budget
amendments
myself,
I
had
a
couple
of
other
questions
that
I've
already
spoken
to
dr.
Leggett
Coe
about
on
some
items
on
there,
but
yeah
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
real
sure
about
what
you're
talking
about.
First
of
all,
you're
saying:
2.5
million
extra
dollars
going
into
an
extra
account,
here's
the
thing
whether
when
we
decided
we
were
going
to
when
we
said,
let's
get
to
2.5
8,
we
chose
that
number
because
that's
the
best,
we
thought
we
could
do.
F
Okay.
However,
if
the
tide
be
turned
and
we're
able
to
do
better
than
that,
that's
what
we
need
to
be
doing.
That's
the
right
thing
to
do.
We
need
to
get
to
3%
and
we
need
to
get
this
district
healthy
before
we
start
thinking
about
creating
other
accounts
and
stashing
money
in
other
places.
We
have
to
get
healthy
first,
that
some
excuse
me
could
I.
Please
have
some
quiet
in
the
room.
That's
what
we
need
to
do
that.
That's
just
my
my
take
I
did
when
I
saw
on
this
the
budget
amendments.
F
legato
about
those
already
today,
specifically
a
couple
of
things
that
have
to
do
with,
if
you
guys
go
through.
If
you
look
at
the
line
items
on
there
and
you
go
to
the
third
page
where
it's
under
general
fund
I
was
concerned
about
one
area
where
we
were
look
like,
we
were
saving
money
from
energy
services
and
moving
it
over
to
material
supplies
and
there's
a
lot
of
moving
money
around
which
I
understand.
F
We
need
to
do
that,
but
in
one
of
the
other
departments
they
actually
had
to
increase
their
energy
services,
and
so
it
was
important.
Mister
dr.
legato
had
told
me
that
you
know
we
could
have
used
that
money
to
help
cover.
You
know
energy
services
in
the
other
department,
so
I
just
think
it's
important
that
before
we
do
that
that
we
you.
F
Dr.
liu
gut
co
has
full
line
aside
on
those
kind
of
issues
because
ultimately
it's
impacted
our
expenditures
by
twenty
six
thousand
dollars
which
comes
out
of
the
fund
balance.
So
that's
my
concern.
If
we
are
saying
that
we're
going
to
be
at
three
percent,
which
is,
I
think,
what
we
said
last
month,
then
we
need
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
be
there,
and
so
there's
a
there's.
A
number
of
questions
in
here
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
them
all,
but
dr.
F
liu
gutka
knows
what
they
are
and
she'll
she'll
address
them
appropriately
with
her
staff.
So
that's
what
I
wanted
to
say
about
the
budget
amendment.
So
thank
you
for
pulling
them,
but
I
do
feel
very
strongly
about
that.
We
need
to
get
to
3%.
If
we
can,
we
need
to,
we
need
to
get
where
we
can
and
then
once
we
get
to
3%,
then
we
can
start
talking
about
other
things.
So.
L
H
H
H
And
then,
lastly,
I
would
just
say
that
we
all
received
the
same
letter
from
Linda
champion,
and
it
was
specifically
addressed
to
us
as
board
members
and
the
superintendent
and
expressly
said
that
we
were
not
to
allocate
money
to
any
other
things
beyond
our
budget.
That
was
approved
in
September
outside
of
meeting
our
fund
balance,
and
you
know
once
we
received
that
letter
from
her
I
mean
that
was
I.
Don't
I,
don't
know
how
everyone
else
felt
about
it.
R
R
R
N
Before
I
would
tell
you,
yes,
I'd
have
to
double-check
that
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I,
don't
think
so,
but
I
don't
know
what
I
would
have
to
do
is
I'd.
Do
some
research
and
I'll
be
happy
with
dr.
Luu
gut,
go
and
take
a
look
at
it,
but
I
don't
think
going
and
rating
that
balance
or
that
reserve
is
something
that
we
can
do
just
willy-nilly.
It
there's
got
to
be.
F
R
R
We
all
know
that
we
are
have
been
in
a
difficult
financial
state
here.
Lately,
I
was
thinking
about
this
meeting
that
mascara
kiss
referred
to.
We
had
it
at
the
Professional,
Development,
Center
I.
Think
dr.
Copelan
was
still
here.
Then,
what
knee
you
weren't
you
weren't
here
yet,
were
you
wasn't
not
the
Copeland
still
here
and
you
you,
ladies,
were
on
the
board.
Okay,
because
I
couldn't
I
was
trying
to
think
how
long
ago
that
has
been,
but
at
that
time,
if
you'll
remember
they
presented
to
us
to
get
to
3%.
R
This
is
the
type
of
things
you
would
have
to
do.
Abcde
we
all
said:
no,
the
district
can't
stand
that
we
it
we
would
be
in
terrible
shape.
We
can't
do
this
to
our
to
our
employees.
We
can't
do
this
to
our
students,
so
the
board,
through
that
afternoon,
oonh
came
up
with
a
plan
that,
if
we
tightened
up-
and
we
did
a
and
B,
we
can
get
to
two
point-
five
eight
I
believe.
R
Van
Zandt
on
TV
say
this
gets
us
to
three
percent
would
be
you
know
and
I
thought
well
that
that's
good,
but
then
something
else
came
into
play
over
these
last
few
weeks.
In
my
mind,
we
have
5,000
employees
whose
health
insurance
continues
to
rise,
and
but
we
don't
get
raises
and
they're
actually
making
less
money,
then
they've
because
of
the
cost
of
the
health
insurance
going
up,
which
we
can't
help
I
mean
we've
all
helped
all
the
school
districts
in
the
state
of
Florida
are
held
captive
by
these
health
insurance.
R
We're
doing
the
best
we
can,
but
you
know
gone,
are
the
days
where
the
single
employee,
you
know
was
free,
I
mean,
did
I
wish
it
was
that
way
again,
but
in
my
mind
and
I,
don't
want
to
get
into
the
impasse
situation.
This
is
why
I'm
almost
afraid
to
say
anything,
but
in
my
mind,
I'm
thinking.
You
know
it
kind
of
reminds
me
of
last
month
when
we
were
going
to
move
everybody
everywhere,
and
we
were
just
going
to
do
it.
We
had
a
motion
in
a
second.
It
was
going
to
be
going
away.
R
N
Not
what
I'm
saying
either
there's
there's
there
are
comp
there.
There
are
consequences
of
it
that
I
think
that
we
need
to
talk
to
dr.
lococo.
It
impacts
our
credit
rating
and
there's
other
legal
aspects
of
it
and
it's
broad-based,
and
so
because
my
job
is
to
give
you
guys
conservative
advice.
So
you
don't
go
out
on
the
limb
and
get
in
trouble
before
we
do.
That.
I
would
like
to
talk
to
dr.
G
I'm,
a
little
confused
dr.
legato,
laid
all
this
out
very
clearly
to
you
on
January
21st,
an
email
that
I
have
with
me
tonight,
exactly
where
all
this
money
would
be
recognized
to
include
exactly
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
tonight,
I
constantly
urge
you
offer
invite
you
in
to
talk
to
meet
with
staff
to
come
meet
you
somewhere,
discuss
anything
you'd
like
and
on
the
morning
of
the
school
board
meeting.
G
Our
word
Studdard,
you
sat
in
meetings
with
me
on
conference,
calls
with
Fitch
rating
assuring
them
we
were
trying
to
get
back
to
3%,
trying
to
protect
our
fund
balances
board
chair
two
of
these,
ladies,
were
not
on
the
school
board
at
the
meeting
you're
recollecting
with
dr.
copelan,
and
there
was
a
plan
to
get
back
to
3%,
then
the
board,
the
majority.
The
board
wouldn't
support
it,
which
is
I,
guess
your
prerogative.
G
As
a
constitutional
officer,
I
did
swear
an
oath
to
uphold
the
Constitution
and
that
constitutions
interpret
interpreted
further
to
me
through
Florida
statutes,
which
I
aim
on
meeting
every
one
that
I
possibly
can,
and
since
we
have
the
ability
to
meet
it.
I
think
that
we
should
so
and
I
guess
the
biggest
thing
I'm
confused
about
that.
You
know
it's
February
23rd.
G
L
Van
Sant,
the
plan
for
the
2.58
was
actually
unanimous.
We
all
did
agree
on
that
when
we
approved
that
prior
to
these
two
board
members
coming
on
it
wasn't
it
wasn't
shot
down
and
I
kind
of
take
offense
to
you,
thinking
that
you're,
the
only
person
we
can
speak
to
the
board
here
is
responsible.
You
compile
a
budget,
you
bring
it
to
us,
but
we're
the
ones
that
should
be
discussing
it.
L
So
if
I
pulled
this
because
I
wanted
to
discuss
it
with
my
fellow
board,
members
I
have
every
right
to
do
that
and
that's
why
I
pulled
it.
So
the
five
of
us
could
discuss
it.
If
the
majority
of
the
board
wants
to
go
forward
and
do
put
it
where
it
goes,
then
that's
fine
that
will
happen,
but
it
will
be
our
vote
in
our
decision
and
that's
why
I
pulled
it.
G
Asking
anybody
to
run
to
me,
but
it
is
my
job
to
advise
and
counsel
the
board
and
I
do
that.
I
offer
that
the
senior
staff
is
at
your
disposal
and
there's
no
reason
to
not
have
dialogue
about
this
ongoing
and
continuously.
If
I
was
a
board
member
below
3%
I'd
be
talking
to
somebody
that
could
help
us
get
out
of
it
consistently
and
constantly
and
I'm.
Just
reassuring
you
that
we're
here
to
do
that.
This.
O
R
F
What
you're
saying
no
I
don't
think
that,
but
just
to
kind
of
clarify
when
we
took
that
vote
on
the
2.5
8%
we
didn't
we
weren't
voting
that
we
were
gonna.
We
have
the
ability
to
be
at
3,
but
we
would
only
do
2.5.
That's
not
what
we
were
voting
on.
We
voted
2.5
because
that's
what
we
thought
was
the
best
that
we
could
do
now
and
and
so
no
I,
don't
think
that
the
state's
going
to
come
in
and
nail
us
to
the
wall.
F
R
O
Was
at
the
meeting
when
you
all
were
discussing
the
2.58
and
if
I'm
remembering
correctly
I,
remember
the
plan
to
get
to
3%
at
that
point
involved
severe
cuts.
I
mean
it
was
you're,
taking
things
away
that
that
our
employees
already
had
to
get
to
the
3%.
In
this
instance,
we
can
meet
the
3%
and
not
take
anything
away
that
they
currently
have.
What
you're?
What
we're
talking
about
is
money.
That's
available,
excuse.
F
Me
just
can
I,
please.
Could
we
just
please
get
some
quiet
in
the
room,
we're
trying
to
have
a
discussion
here
and
I'm.
Just
this
is
going
to
be
the
last
warning.
Okay,
we
do
have
a
policy
that
says
that
there's
a
certain
expected
conduct
from
the
people
in
the
audience
we're
trying
to
have
meaningful
dialogue.
We're
trying
to
be
respectful
I
would
appreciate
that
same
due
respect
back.
Thank
you.
F
H
Would
also
like
to
remind
everyone
that
last
year
the
forth
calculation
came
in
and
we
had
not
lost
kids,
but
no
one
else
around
the
state
had
either
and
so
then
they
and
I
don't
I,
don't
remember
the
exact
term,
dr.
lococo,
but
it's
something
to
the
effect
of
proration,
where
the
state
alters
them
or
the
the
legislature
alters
the
amount
of
money
they
send
out
because
they
have
to
send
more
to
everyone
else.
That
could
still
happen
to
us
in
the
fourth
calculation.
H
L
F
M
F
F
F
H
L
F
S
S
It
had
no
grass
and
my
husband
donated
the
picnic
table
for
the
teachers,
and
we
got
the
builders
to
donate
the
sod
we
were
sold
on
the
community's
future
plans
of
incorporating
not
only
another
elementary
school
but
a
high
school
junior
high
and
actually
three
elementary
schools.
Eventually,
these
schools
would
accommodate
the
plan
community's
development
so
10
years
later,
I'm
here
to
petition
your
attention
as
well
as
on
behalf
of
many
many
concerned
parents
regarding
the
overgrowth
and
the
situation
at
plantation
Oaks.
S
Elementary,
specifically
I
witnessed
the
fall
of
the
real-estate
market
and
now
I'm
feeling
the
growth,
and
it
frankly
is
an
answer
to
prayer.
We
all
are
homeowners
and
we're
thankful
for
the
growth,
but
the
question
there
lies:
why
do
we
not
have
the
money
or
why
did
we
not
secure
the
budget
from
the
builders
to
approve
the
third
school
that
we
talked
about
ten
years
ago,
right
outside
of
Eagle
Landing
to
accommodate
the
growth?
S
After
all,
the
builders
and
a
lot
of
them
I
know
personally
are
selling
the
properties
and
the
proximity
of
the
schools
to
their
sellers.
I
mean
it
only
makes
sense,
I'd
love
to
buy
a
home
close
to
my
children's
school
and
along
those
lines.
I
know
that
had
they
been
asked,
they
probably
would
have
committed
so
again
I'm
here
today
with
the
petition
of
several
other
parents,
for
you
all
to
consider
our
children
and
specifically
their
safety
at
BO
next
year.
I
am
told-
and
please
correct
me
if
I
don't
have
the
facts.
S
I
am
told
that
there
are
thirteen
hundred
and
thirteen
children
enrolled
in
plantation
Oaks
Elementary
currently,
and
we
are
expecting
another
three
hundred
and
forty
five
in
the
fall.
I
would
like
you
to
make
it
a
priority
to
look
at
the
safety
of
my
seven-year-old.
Who
is
there
I
challenge
you
to
be
at
that
school?
Please
go
look
at
the
lunch
room.
Please
witness
who
is
monitoring
the
lunchroom?
We
have
janitorial
staff.
Who
is
monitoring
the
lunchroom?
Are
they
trained
if
a
child
starts
choking?
S
Do
we
have
more
than
one
nurse
for
thirteen
hundred
and
thirteen
students,
or
is
she
at
the
front
of
the
building
with
the
where's?
The
AED
I
ask
you
to
consider
when
we
have
inclement
weather
moving
500
to
600
children
in
the
cafeteria
that
is
supposed
to
hold
400
I.
Ask
for
you
to
consider
the
1600
and
50
next
year
and
I
have
to
tell
you
that
I
have
always
believed
in
Clay
County.
S
My
role,
I
work
here:
I
recruit
physicians
to
this
County
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you,
the
last
three
conversations
I've
had
with
physicians.
They
have
brought
up
the
fact
that
they
have
seen,
or
they
have
heard
that
we're
having
issues
I,
don't
that
doesn't
make
my
job
easy
and
we
have
so
much
industry
coming
out
to
Cecil
field.
We
have
so
much
growth
in
Clay,
County
and
everything
that
I've
been
proud
of
and
and
I
know
that
that's
a
big
picture,
but
the
schools.
That's
the
reason
why
you
buy
homes.
S
In
closing,
I
ask
you
to
consider
because
you've
been
entrusted
with
the
decision-making
and
you
have
been
entrusted
to
take
care
of
our
teachers
who
are
stellar
and
I
feel
that
they're
overloaded
in
their
stress,
please
consider
all
avenues
to
make
our
kids
safe.
Please
consider
using
getting
a
budget
to
to
alleviate
the
overcrowding,
build
the
school
or
redistricting
rezone,
as
you
have
been
entrusted
to
do.
Thank.
I
F
F
F
T
Anyway,
I
just
want
to
point
out
again
that
shadow
line
is
not
even
mentioned
in
this
and
right
now
we
still
have
kids
that
live
in
the
walk
zone
for
Lake
Asbury,
elementary,
that's
being
bussed
a
shadow
line
and
I
want
to
know
why
Shadow
Line
is
not
being
considered
for
any
of
the
movement.
Considering
the
last
time,
I
saw
the
core
numbers
for
a
shadow
on.
They
were
like
75%
right
around
there
them
in
Lake,
Ella,
lakeside
or
semi
Lake
Asbury
elementary,
both
and
there's
no
movement
made
to
bring
any
kids
over
to
them.
T
Right
now
you
know
just
I
just
want
to
answer
a
question
that
Miss
Studdard
had
missed
uttered.
You
all
have
been
at
below
3%
since
2012.
So
if
they
were
going
to
come
nail
you
to
the
wall,
they
would
have
already
had
you
in
handcuffs
and
one
of
the
things
I
want
to
cover
that
the
superintendent
said
in
his
presentation,
where
he
was
talking
about
we're
climbing
to
the
top
10.
Well.
Last
year
we
were
ranked
number
17
and
the
issuer
ranked
number
18.
So
unless
we're
doing
fuzzy
math
that's
actually
going
backwards.
Thank
you.
T
F
R
U

F

For
approval
by
miss
Condon
in
a
second
by
Miss,
Gil
housing,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye,
all
those
opposed
say
no
motion
carries
5-0
and
then
lastly
item.
Oh
not!
Lastly,
excuse
me
item
d8
is
attendance,
boundary
realignment
for
Green
Cove,
Springs,
Junior,
High,
School,
Wilkinson,
junior
high
and
Lake
Asbury
junior
high
school
I'll
entertain
a
motion.
I'll
move
approval.
Second,.
O
O
H
What
she
explained
to
me
was
that
over
the
past
few
years,
a
number
of
those
pieces
of
property
were
zone
that
were
zoned
to
light
industrial
and
not
planned
to
have
families
on
them
have
been
raised
owned
as
residential
one
of
the
ones
the
new
ones
that's
coming.
Arbor
mill
was
supposed
to
be
a
town
center
originally,
and
now
it's
going
to
have
a
thousand
homes,
so
mr.
Merrill
does
have
his
work
cut
out
for
him
and
I
echo.
H
O
Also,
just
like
to
add
that
I
think
we
are
all
aware
that
the
housing
market
is
bouncing
back,
especially
in
the
northern
part
of
our
county,
and
this
isn't
a
problem.
That's
going
away,
I
think
we're
going
to
have
more
of
this
in
the
future,
especially
since
we
didn't
do
some
more
drastic
measures.
This
time
around
so
I
think
it's
something
we
all
need
to
be
considering
and
talking
about,
and
you
know,
building
a
consensus
for
what
we
think
is
it
about
a
palatable
decision
right
and.
F
I
just
would
also
like
to
echo
miss
carica
sentiments,
but
I
also
want
to
throw
a
kudos
out
to
Miss
Kornegay
and
Miss
Emily
Weiss
Cobb
for
handling
a
terrific
parent
meeting
out
at
Argyle
elementary
school,
in
which
we
got
all
those
parents
together,
and
it
was
a
great
it
was
a
great
meeting.
It
was
a
war
shop
where
everybody
was
engaged
in
coming
up
with
ideas
and
solutions
on
how
we
could
resolve
this
problem
and
affect
as
few
people
as
possible.
So
they
did
a
great
job
in
leading
that
and
I
know
myself.
F
R
R
We
have
to
show
a
need
to
the
state
and
we
have
other
schools
that
are
underutilized,
and
you
know
the
powers
that
be
would
have
us
put
our
children
on
a
bus
and
bus
them
twenty-five
miles
because
you've
got
available
spaces
there.
So
there's
a
there's,
a
lot
of
things
that
come
into
play
besides,
not
having
any
money,
we
know
the
land
is
there
and
we
certainly
would.
R
If
we
could,
tomorrow,
we
would
say
you
know,
let's
go
break
ground
and
build
that
elementary
school,
because
if
we
had
Eagle
landing
Elementary
there
would
be
no
problems
about
overcrowding
and
one
day.
Hopefully
we
can
do
that.
We
ran
into
a
similar
situation
in
Fleming
Island.
We
still
have
property
here
for
a
junior
high
that
all
the
residents
in
Fleming
Island
have
been
waiting
for
for
years
and
years
and
years
and-
and
you
know
who
knows
when
we're
ever
going
to
be
able
to
build
another
junior
high
but
the
properties
there.
R
We
want
to
build
a
school
there,
but
right
now
we
just
can't
do
it,
but
we're
certainly
and
when
we
were
studying
all
these
maps
and
looking
at
them,
I
thought
boy.
If
we
just
had
that
school
there
at
the
Eagle
and
near
Eagle,
landing
we'd
be
all
set,
but
we
just
have
to
be
patient
and
do
the
best.
We
can
mrs.
H
Mckinnon
I
have
a
question
along
that
same
line.
Mrs.
Gilson
said
that
you
know.
Obviously
this
is
not
going
away.
So
my
question
is:
is
this
something
that
our
advisory
board
that
parent
and
Business
Advisory
Board
could
take,
could
start
to
take
a
look
at
that?
We
have
representation
from
throughout
the
county
on
there
from
all
of
us
business
and
parents
at
elementary
and
high
school
grade
levels.
O
O
And
then
we
have
overcrowding
at
Oakleaf,
I
mean
it's
just
the
population
base
is
changing
and
I
think
that
it's
a
conversation
that
the
board
needs
to
start
having,
and
maybe
we,
if
we
start
you
know
a
year
before
we're
going
to
make
any
changes,
we
can
have
good
dialogue
about
it
and
come
up
with
some.
Oh
you.
R
F
F
V
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
I'm,
Pamela,
Jordan
and
I'm,
a
teacher
here
in
Clay
County
I'm
just
here
to
urge
you
to
please
accept
the
special
magistrates
decisions
on
the
issues
that
were
submitted
to
him.
Each
item
that
we
asked
the
magistrate
to
consider
and
to
make
a
judgment
on
was
reasonable
and
well
within
the
realm
of
possibility.
V
If
any
of
you
doubt
that
teachers
deserve
a
raise
in
pay
and
reasonably
priced
health,
insurance
I
would
challenge
you
to
spend
a
day
teaching
my
classes,
I
challenge
you
to
deal
with
the
behaviors
and
the
myriad
other
issues
that
all
of
us
deal
with
on
a
daily
basis.
I
challenge
you
to
work
my
10
and
11
hour
day,
because
what
we
are
asked
to
do
cannot
be
done
in
seven
and
a
half
hours,
I
challenge
you
not
to
leave
at
the
end
of
the
day
emotionally
and
physically
drained.
V
W
Hi,
my
name
is
Tricia
breasts,
and
my
address
is
on
the
card.
Okay,
several
years
ago,
when
my
kids
were
very
young,
they
asked
a
friend
of
mine
if
their
daddy
was
dead.
At
that
time,
my
husband
was
XO
of
a
u.s.
navy,
s3
squadron
and
a
jet
and
his
squadron
had
crashed.
We
lost
two
men
in
us
in
that
crash
and
due
to
my
husband's
position,
I
knew
I'd
be
having
a
lot
of
people
over
to
my
house,
and
we
would
be
having
conversations
that
were
not
for
young
children's
years.
W
For
that
reason,
I
had
a
close
friend
of
mine.
Take
my
children
to
her
house
as
much
as
my
friend
tried
to
protect
them.
They
heard
similar
discussions
of
her
house
to
my
children,
had
not
seen
their
father
that
day
and
they
weren't
able
to
go
home
and
they
were
hearing
about
a
plane
crashing
being
the
intuitive
children
that
they
were
at
that
age
they
pulled.
My
friend
aside
and
said,
is
our
daddy
dead.
W
I
tell
you
the
story
tonight,
because
I
know
that
shortly
you
will
be
deciding
whether
or
not
to
accept
the
recommendations
for
them
from
the
mediator.
Concerning
teacher
continuing
contracts,
I
would
like
to
think
about
I'd
like
you
to
think
about
those
of
us
who
have
been
part
of
military
families
and
how
that
has
impacted
our
teaching
careers
that
we
may
love
our
jobs
and
art
and
as
teachers
we
often
have
to
choose
between
our
chosen
careers
and
our
families.
W
I
come
to
you
as
a
teacher
who
had
earned
my
professional
contract
while
I
was
teaching
in
Clay
County.
However,
due
to
military
orders,
my
husband
was
relocated
to
California
for
two
to
three
years.
I
had
to
make
a
decision
to
move
to
California
with
my
husband
or
stay
here
in
Florida
making.
That
decision
was
not
made
lightly,
I
had
to
say
I
had
to
think
of
my
family
and
my
role
in
it
I
had
to
decide
between
a
job,
I
loved
and
the
family.
That
was
my
life.
W
W
Unfortunately,
I
was
hired
one
month
after
the
new
regulations
stating
that
newly
hired
teachers
would
no
longer
be
eligible
for
the
continuing
contracts,
because
I
had
moved
away
and
moved
back,
no
matter
what
the
reason
I
lost,
my
professional
continuing
contract
and
I'm
not
eligible
to
get
it
back
tonight.
I
ask
you,
as
you
considered
recommendations
of
the
mediator
regarding
continuing
contract
language
I.
Ask
that
you
consider
those
of
us
who
have
relocated
not
because
of
our
own
choice,
but
those
of
our
military
I.
W
Ask
you
to
please
consider
including
language
that
protect
with
it
would
protect
those
of
us
whose
spouses
have
had
to
relocate
and
give
up
their
positions
of
schools
so
that
we
would
not
lose
our
continuing
contract
status.
That
has
been
earned.
I.
Ask
you
if
it
were
your
children
had
been
that
had
been
put
in
that
situation
where
they
had
to
ask
the
question:
is
our
daddy
dead?
What
would
your
decision
have
been
your
job
or
your
family?
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
X
You
good
evening
my
name's
Donna
Meese
and
my
informations
on
my
card
I'm
here
tonight,
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
families
that
are
choosing
to
opt
out
beginning
next
week
of
the
FAFSA
I'd
like
to
begin
with
this
quote
from
alfie
kohn
high-stakes
standardized
tests
are
not
like
the
weather,
something
to
which
we
must
resign
ourselves.
They
are
not
a
force
of
nature,
but
a
force.
The
politics
and
political
decisions.
X
You
guys
need
to
listen
to.
This
can
be
questioned,
challenged
and
ultimately
reversed
teachers,
parents
and
students
can
turn
their
frustration
into
action
on
the
way
I'm
staking
tonight
and
successfully
turn
back
the
jet
testing
juggernaut
in
order
to
create
classrooms
that
focus
on
learning.
Okay,
now
make
sure
we're
all
clear.
Next
week,
this
corn
again
I,
have
spoken,
and
these
are
her
suggestions.
If
a
perch
I'll
diz,
not
testing,
we
are
being
asked
to
keep
them
home.
X
The
child
will
answer
no
questions
and
then
we'll
submit
the
test
as
completed
third
grade,
students
are
being
offered
the
opportunity
to
take
the
SAT
10
instead
of
the
FAFSA,
or
they
have
the
portfolio
option,
also
tenth
grade
students,
their
parents
know
the
child
will
need
to
take
the
a
CT
or
the
SAT
and
earn
the
appropriate
Concordat
score
in
order
to
graduate
if
they
don't
take.
The
FAFSA
I
think
is
that
what
we
agreed
on
I
think
in
our
conversation,
that's
what
I've
shared
with
the
other
parents
in
Clay
County.
X
Some
of
them
will
not
be
able
to
keep
their
children
home
the
day
of
testing,
and
they
know
their
child
will
have
to
sit
and
stare.
We
understand
for
FAFSA
rights
that
that's
a
state
law
this
year.
They
wanted
to
make
it
a
little
harder
for
us,
so
the
parents
will
be
making
individual
decisions
about
notifying
their
child's
school
about
their
intent
to
refuse
the
test
I'll
be
glad
to
pass
on
any
other
information
that
the
district
thinks
is
important
for
our
parents
and
we
keep
talking
about
the
state
and
their
mandates.
X
I
had
a
whole
nother
ending,
but
first
be
sure.
If
you
haven't
been
that
you
go
to
Florida
Channel
org,
and
you
see
what
the
house
has
been
doing
to
us
this
week.
It's
not
kind
and
here's
what
I've
been
living
by
lately
stop
asking
why
they
keep
doing
it
and
start
asking
why
you
keep
allowing
it.
Thank
you,
Thank.

I
have
been
invited

Society.
The

week
I
received
a
letter
inviting
me
to
stay
after
school
for
tutoring
to
prepare
for
the
FSA.
E
It
happened
because
I
got
because
I
get
low
scores
on
the
standardized
test,
but
high
grades
at
school
I
don't
test
well
because
every
time
I
test,
I
panicked.
Every
time.
I
panic
I
end
up
guessing
answers
on
the
test.
It
would
make
kids
around
the
state
stress,
free
and
teachers
of
preparing
and
taking
the
tests,
so
some
kids
get
so
freaked
out

they
cry

feel
like
a
failure.

Russell

I'm,
a
student
Green
Cove,
Springs
junior
high
I'll,
not
be
taking
fast
this
year,
I
have
a
be
on
Earl
and
I've
been
working
hard
to
keep
it.
That
way
this
year
and
I
was
asked
to
have
fasted
tutoring,
because
I
don't
score
well.
C
I
have
really
bad
ability
taking
tests,
because
I
get
really
nervous
and
second-guess
myself,
and
my
teachers
want
me
to
be
in
high
classes,
but
they
can't
put
me
in
them
because
I
don't
get
good
grades
on
the
sassa
now
I
know
teachers
try
hard
to
make
sure
that
we
are
ready
for
the
test,
but
not
all
of
us
can
test.
Well,
just
imagine
you're
in
a
room,
and
all
you
hear
is
clicking-
and
you
stress
out,
because
you
know
you
can
pass
it.
C
They
know
it.
A
lot
of
teachers
know
we
can
do
this,
but
a
lot
of
kids
have
problems
taking
tests
now,
I
can
understand.
You
want
to
make
sure
we
know
what
we're
doing
in
these
classes,
but
you
don't
have
to
put
such
a
big
stress
on
the
chest,
maybe
like
an
EOC
or
end-of-semester
test,
just
an
easy,
not
really
an
easy
one,
but
a
good
test
help
us
not
this
big
test
that
can
impact
us
in
the
long
run.
I
hope
you'll
take
my
words
into
consideration
for
the
future.

afforded

special

a
bachelor's
degree
in
economics.
He
earned
his
law
degree
from
the
University
of
Miami
and
as
an
FSU
fan,
I
will
forgive
him
for
this.
Egregious
error
in
judgment.
He's
worked
as
a
mediator,
arbitrator
and
special
magistrate
since
2007
he
is
a
former
city
commissioner,
and
vice
mayor
of
North
Miami
Beach.
Y
He
attended
the
Cornell
University
labor-management,
Relations,
Institute
and
I
have
it
on
good
authority
that
he
stayed
in
the
Holiday
Inn
Express
last
night,
special
magistrate
Leonard
Health
and
agrees
with
the
teachers
of
Clay
County.
He
stated
in
this
ruling
that
treating
teachers
as
valuable,
respected
professionals
with
job
security
is
in
the
interest
in
welfare
of
the
citizens
and
families
who
utilize
our
school
system.
We
are
asking
to
stop
hiding
behind
your
rigid
interpretation
of
state
law
and
make
a
bold
move
to
support
your
teachers.
Y
Many
other
counties
in
Florida
have
done
this
and
they
have
not
received
pushback
from
the
state.
The
special
magistrate
also
agrees
that
we
should
receive
seat
time
points
for
in-service
trainings.
If
I
had
an
in-service
point
for
every
time,
a
trainer
said
you're,
probably
already
doing
this
in
your
classroom,
we're
just
calling
it
something.
Different
I
could
re
certify
until
I'm
80
and
that
the
rate
things
are
going.
I'll
probably
still
be
working
here.
The
special
magistrate
also
agrees
that
the
board
should
increase
their
insurance
contribution.
Y
He
also
agrees
that
we
should
have
contract
language
that
prevents
new
hires
from
being
paid
a
higher
salary
than
current
employees,
with
their
same
level
of
experience.
If
you're
worried
that
this
will
hurt
your
ability
to
hire
new
people,
how
do
you
think
they'll
feel
once
they
get
here
and
find
out
they're,
never
going
to
see
a
pay
increase?
It's
a
bait-and-switch
and
it's
not
fair.
Y
Least-Known
president
Benjamin
Harrison
once
said
I
pity
the
man
who
wants
a
coat
so
cheap
that
the
man
or
woman
who
produces
the
cloth
will
starve
in
the
process.
I
would
like
to
congratulate
this
board
on
meeting
its
fund
balance
tonight,
but
you
might
want
to
think
about
who
you're
starving
in
the
process.
Y
J
Good
evening,
I'm
going
to
switch
up
for
you
in
a
second
I'm
going
to
talk
about
concerning
your
board
workshop
on
March
8th
by
this
board's
action
of
agreeing
to
put
the
unbudgeted
monies
of
2.4
million
dollars
into
the
reserve
fund
of
the
District
of
Clay
is
now
above
the
3%
unassigned
fund
balance,
something
that
you
have
not
been
able
to
do
in
three
years.
You've
done
budgets
reflect
priorities.
J
Therefore,
the
CCA
has
no
interest
in
being
a
part
of
any
workshop
concerning
the
raising
of
taxes
in
Clay
County.
In
fact,
the
CCA
does
not
support
any
raising
of
the
property
tax.
Nor
do
we
support
any
raising
of
the
sales
tax.
We
believe
that
raising
sales
tax
will
put
a
huge
burden
on
the
citizens
of
Clay
County
Clay
County
is
not
a
tourist
destination
as
st.
John's
is.
It
is
not
an
urban
county
as
Duvall
is
so
raising
a
sales
tax
would
be
paid
for
over
and
over
again
by
the
citizens
of
clay.
J
Therefore,
let
me
be
clear:
the
district
received
the
second-highest
forth
calculation
last
year
of
4.1
million
dollars
the
second
highest
in
the
state.
It
received
an
8.1
million
new
dollars
in
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
and
a
huge
third
calculation
of
6.2
million
dollars.
We
with
the
added
students
revenue
that
the
board
should
display
better
oversight
as
it
pertains
to
the
expenditures
at
the
district.
The
CCE
a
believes
there
is
no
need
to
increase
anyone's
taxes,
but
rather
a
huge
needs
to
be
better
judgment
and
use
better
insight.
J
J
Z
Z
Z
Other
schools,
like
you,
have
removed
football
because
of
injury
and
death
and
I'm
asking
you
to
do
that.
Remove
football
from
our
schools
that
are
required
by
law.
I
hear
schools
are
a
real
issue
other
than
right
here,
and
you
yourselves
are
saying.
You're
below
the
3%
Oakleaf
alone
is
a
problem.
You
know,
housing
sales
are
up
in
enrollments
down,
you
know,
put
your
staff
first
teachers,
bus
drivers,
cooks
and
the
others.
You
have
money
for
football.
Do
the
right
thing:
League
of
denial
was
given
to
the
school
board.
It's
about
brain
damage.
Z
He
also
read
it.
Doctors
for
every
school
required
by
law
for
people
that
are
16
and
under
should
have
a
doctor
with
the
pull
with
the
pills,
the
suicides
and
the
other
issues.
You
know
who
better
than
a
doctor
to
be
taking
care
of
these
kids
in
schools,
public
record.
We
public
record
request
was
made
months
and
months
ago
on
the
money
spent
on
football
in
the
school
system.
Z
It
was
responded
two
months
later,
but
there
was
no
totals
this.
One
over
here
tells
me
that
she
needed
something
wrote
out
a
little
bit
better
than
that.
I'm
just
saying
the
same
thing
give
me
the
totals
on
how
much
you
spent
on
football.
That's
not
too
dang
difficult.
You
need
to
look
at
gambling
secondary
effects.
The
roadway
in
we're
Orange
Park
is
trying
to
close
over
their
tenants
more
so
the
scratch-offs
that
attract
kids
think
if
you
are
an
addict,
let's
go
online
for
gambling,
remove
it
from

time
we
turn
around,
we
hear
within
the
third
calculation
way
to
the
second
calculation.
Now,
let's
wait
to
the
fourth
calculation.
I
I
All
we
ask
is
that
you
do
the
right
thing.
That's
all
we're
asking!
You
can't
expect
your
people
to
continue
on
this
path
and
keep
good
quality
people
here
working
for
you.
We
represent
Clay,
County
and
I'm
glad
because
I
live
here.
My
grandchildren
go
to
school
here.
My
children
graduated
from
here,
oh
I'm,
very
proud
of
Clay
County,
but
we
need
to
make
decisions.
You
say
live
within
our
means
we
do.
We
cannot
afford.
Not
to
y'all
are
Stewart's
of
the
budget
and
it
does
reflect
priorities
and
your
employees
have
no.
I
L
L
Listening
to
miss
Paiva
today
that
she
doesn't
want
to
have
a
workshop.
We
called
a
workshop
at
the
urging
of
the
teachers
and
our
support
people
and
with
the
intention
of
if
we
were
to
do
something
they
would
be
working
very
closely
with
us
and
if
they're
not
going
to
work
with
us
I
think
we
probably
should
cancel
the
workshop.
I,
don't
see
any
reason
to
have
it
if
they're
not
bought
into
it,
because
it
was
at
their
urging
that
I
asked
to
have
a
workshop
so,
depending
on
what
the
board
wants.
F
L
O
I'll
go
ahead
and
just
say:
congratulations
to
our
science,
fair
winners.
Your
projects
were
so
impressive.
We
have
some
very
talented
students
in
our
district
who
are
going
to
do
great
things
in
their
lives
and
we're
privileged
to
have
so
many
wonderful
students
to
come
into
our
buildings
every
day
and
bring
our
graduation
rates
and
our
scores
up
as
high
as
they
are
I'm
there
to
be
commended
on
many
levels.
But
specifically,
we
had
the
science
fair
last
week
and
it
was
a
great
success.
Okay,
I'll.
H
H
I
wanted
to
kind
of
echo
what
Miss
May
said
about
when
she
was
talking
about.
She
was
talking
about
the
high-stakes
testing,
but
I'm,
not
talking
about
that
and
in
specific,
but
when
I
was
in
Tallahassee
for
the
FSB,
a
legislative
conference
the
the
morning
before
we
went
out
to
meet
with
our
respective
legislatures
was
very
interesting.
H
Lay
it
all
out
on
the
line
and
boy
did
she
ever
and
here's
what
she
challenged
us
to,
and
this
is
what
I
wanted
to
speak
to
with
miss
mace.
She
said
you
know,
we
hear
a
lot
from
school
board
members
and
district
employees
across
the
state
on
all
the
things
we're
doing
that
you
don't
like,
but
we
don't
see
you
in
Tallahassee.
We
need
you
to
be
involved
in
the
process
and
she
said
you
don't
she
and
then
she
used
an
example.
H
As
in
you,
you
guys
don't
like
how
much
money
we
give
to
charters,
but
when
we
have
our
committee
meetings
and
we
look
out
at
the
audience,
the
Charter
people
are
there
they're
filling
out
speaker
cards
but
school
board.
Members
are
not
there
telling
us
why
this
hurts
your
district,
and
so
she
really
challenged
school
board
members
in
particular,
that
was
in
the
audience.
There
were
some
superintendents
there,
but
mostly
school
board
members.
H
She
challenged
us
to
get
involved
in
the
process
and
really
find
the
things
that
matter
the
most
to
our
district
and
and
be
more
involved
there
in
Tallahassee
and
not
just
at
the
local
level.
But
she
said-
and
she
talked
a
lot
about-
respect
of
local
elected
officials
with
the
state
elected
officials
and
that
relationship
and
building
those
relationships,
and
then
the
other
speakers
who
spoke
echoed
some
of
her
sentiments.
H
So
it
was
kind
of
eye-opening
to
me
to
see
that
and
to
hear
at
least
from
one
legislator
that
they
want
our
opinions
and
involvement
in
that
process
in
their
actual
lawmaking
process.
Much
like
we
had
the
public
speak
to
us
on
their
opinions
and
and
what
matters
to
them.
So
I
thought
that
was
very
poignant
and
certainly
with
the
with
the
testing,
as
well
as
a
number
of
other
issues.
We
need
to
be
there.
H
There
are
some
and
I
won't
go
into
details,
but
there
are
some
bills
before
our
legislature
this
year
that
could
change
the
face
of
education
in
the
state
of
Florida,
completely,
one
of
which
is
statewide
school
choice,
and
so
that
could
affect
our
boundaries.
Are
you
know
when
we
need
to
be
planning?
If
you
don't
know
a
whole
lot
about
that
bill?
H
It's
pretty
interesting
and
I,
don't
know
where
it
has
ended
up
this
week.
I
have
not
been
able
to
get
on
and
and
look
but
I
will
so
I
would
just
ask
that
we
pay
more
attention
to
those
things.
I
know
we
do
I
know
we,
you
know,
we
we
give
legislative
priorities,
but
to
actually
be
involved
in
the
process
is
important
and
the
only
other
thing.
R
This
month
has
been
a
busy
month
for
all
of
us.
We
started
off
what
I
know
some
of
you
read
it
comprar
gate
I,
think
you
read
it
comprar
gate,
you
ready
coppa
gate
and
then
went
over
to
towns
and
read
at
times
and
the
kids
go
into
the
schools
and
seeing
the
students
recharges
your
batteries.
That's
what
it's
all
about,
just
love
it.
We
had
the
Clay
County
Spelling
Bee,
a
lakeside
elementary
student
was
the
proud
winner
of
that.
Then
we
had
the.
There
was
a
County
Teacher
of
the
Year.
R
We
had
the
supports
Person
of
the
Year.
Let's
he
won,
he
was
from
w
cherry
and
the
Teacher
of
the
Year
was
from
Ridge
View
liquor.
There
there's
a
proud
bridge,
our
teacher.
We
also
had
a
great
day
from
early
morning
until
night,
at
the
science
fair
those
projects
this
year.
I'll
bet,
none
of
us
could
explain
some
of
those
projects.
R
They
were
outstanding
and
it
was
a
job
well
done,
even
though,
when
we
were
serving
their
lunch,
the
power
went
out
and
they
had
their
cell
phones
to
shine
on
the
cookies
to
see
what
kind
they
were
getting
because
it
was
like
it
was
dark
in
there.
Let's
see
I
believe
that
that
oh
and
then
we
had
the
the
meeting
up
at
our
gal
trying
to
work
through
a
bit
trying
to
find
a
better
plan
for
the
district
lines
for
the
schools
up
there.
R
But
it's
it's
been
an
interesting
month
and
a
busy
month
then,
but
it's
that
time
of
the
year
so
I
know
we
all
enjoyed
it
and
I
tell
you
if
you
ever
just
get
a
chance-
and
this
is
for
people
who
are
watching
on
TV
too.
If
you
get
a
chance,
go
out
to
our
schools
and
see
what's
going
on,
there's
some
good
things
going
on
our
teachers
and
our
principals
are
just
so
proud
and
would
love
to
have
you
come
in.
So
that's
it.
We.
X
F
All
right,
well
I,
just
want
to
echo
every
everything
everybody
else
said:
I
was
actually
out
of
town.
Last
week,
I
was
in
Washington
DC,
enjoying
some
time
with
my
son,
who
I
don't
get
to
see
very
often,
but
so
I
did
miss
the
science
fair,
but
did
get
to
attend
some
of
those
other
events,
and
it
was,
it
has
been
a
busy
month
and
so
well,
that's
all
I
have
just
want
to
wish
everybody
a
great
week
and
be
safe.
