We

I

E
Meeting
this
meeting
is
our
opportunity,

to
collaborate
openly
and

the
future

of
our
public
schools
and
the
education
of
our
children
in
Clay
County.
If

promptly.
No
additional

agenda.
E
G
All
right
good
evening
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
here
tonight
to
recognize
some
of
the
young
artists
of
Clay
County
Schools.
As
you
may
recall,
we
celebrated
founders
week
the
last
week
of
September
this
year,
this
year
seemed
centered
around
the
role
of
the
presidency
in
our
American
democracy.
During
this
week,
multidisciplinary
activities
took
place
in
classrooms
across
all
41
schools.
Many
in
conjunction
with
our
community
partners
before
I
introduce
these
young
artists
I'd
like
to
share
some
of
the
highlights
with
you.
H
I
I
I
J
G
Thank
you.
One
of
the
district
activities
that
took
place
that
week
was
a
k5
art
contest.
After
learning
about
the
different
presidents,
students
had
the
opportunity
to
think
about
how
they
would
improve
our
world
in
our
country.
If
they
were
president,
they
then
Illustrated
their
ideas.
Each
school
then
submitted
one
piece
of
artwork
per
grade
level.
A
district
panel
narrowed
it
down
to
one
piece
of
artwork
per
grade
level.
They
are
now
hanging
in
our
back
case,
which
you
can
see
on
the
back
wall.
G
The
panel
was
very
impressed
with
the
students,
creativity
and
their
overall
introspection.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
meet
some
of
these
young
artists.
Tonight
and
I
will
say
I
know
not
all
of
them
could
make
it
tonight,
because
it's
just
a
busy
evening
with
holiday
activities
of
the
schools.
Alright,
so
in
the
kindergarten
was
Ellen
Morrison
and
she
comes
to
us
from
copper
gate
Elementary
and
here
is
Miss
Ellen's.
G
G
All
right,
fourth-grade
I'll,
stick
that
one
back
here.
Fourth
grade
Maile
Godwin,
so
in
thinking
about
what
she
would
do.
If
she
were
president,
she
said
she
would.
If
I
were.
President
I
would
give
a
speech
that
everyone
is
the
same,
no
matter
what
their
skin
color
is,
because
no
one
should
be
treated
different
for
the
color
of
their
skin.
G
And
miss
Annie
leach,
also
from
clay
Hill
Elementary,
is
not
able
to
be
with
us
tonight.
She
is
attending
a
choir
ceremony
at
Clay
Hill,
but
Annie
said
that
if
she
were,
president
I
would
communicate
with
children,
teens
and
adults
to
have
better
life
plans,
because
the
better
our
people,
the
better
our
country
and
I,
think
that's
something
we
can
all
agree
with.
G
E
K
Proud
to
be
able
to
recognize
miss
Amy
bachelor,
who
has
tried
to
hide
behind
me
and
I
might
add.
She
is
the
recipient
of
the
2016
Florida
Council
for
children
with
behavior
disorders,
Eleanor
gutzler,
outstanding
service
award,
Miss
bathra
was
selected
for
this
award
by
the
Florida
Council
for
Exceptional
Children.
K
She
was
chosen
based
on
her
continuous
service
to
students
with
emotional
behavioral
disabilities
and
for
the
tremendous
outcomes
that
she
achieves
achieves
with
these
students.
Throughout
the
years
she
began
her
career
as
an
assistant
with
us
in
one
of
our
classes
for
students
with
emotional
and
behavioral
disabilities.
She
went
back
and
got
her
teaching
credential
to
become
an
ESC
teacher
and
began
with
us
in
2009.
As
a
teacher
at
swimming
Penn,
Creek
Elementary
School,
she
had
a
very
nurturing
environment
in
her
classroom.
Eventually.
K
She
did,
however,
transfer
to
the
junior
high
school,
and
that
is
where
she
has
really
found
her
true
niche
and
her
passion
for
working
with
our
youngsters
and
she's
currently
employed
at
Lake
Asbury
junior
high
and
is
also
a
teacher
for
students
who
are
working
on
their
GED.
She
excels
in
the
classroom.
She
has
fabulous
rapport
with
her
youngsters
and
really
is
a
support
to
the
other
students
on
campus.
She
is
also-
and
she
tries
to
keep
this
quiet.
She
has
also
been
piloting
a
program.
K
That's
a
very
comprehensive
show
social
skills
program
with
the
University
of
Florida,
so
miss
Batchelor
has
a
master's
degree
in
exceptionalities
and
elementary
ed
from
the
University
of
West
Florida,
and
please
join
us
in
recognizing
miss
Batchelor
for
her
contributions
to
students
with
disabilities
in
Clay
County.
Thank
you.
This.
E
E
L
All
right,
I'm
here,
I'm
Tom,
Pittman,
principal
Fleming,
Allen,
high
school
and
just
I'm
gonna
take
up
a
couple
just
a
couple
minutes
of
time,
but
these
four
young
men
there's
approximately
500
high
schools
in
the
state
of
Florida.
They
compete
in
swimming.
They
compete
in
4a,
which
is
the
highest
level
of
swimming
and
there's
approximately
120
teams
that
compete
that
for
that
level.
Here
in
the
state
of
Florida,
this
group
of
boys,
they
start
off
the
way
it
works.
Is
you
have
a
swim
team?
You
compete
during
the
regular
season.
L
You
move
onto
districts,
so
many
swimmers
qualified
because
the
times
of
moving
on
to
regionals
they
continue
to
move
on
from
regionals
into
state,
and
these
four
young
men
represented
Fleming
Island,
High
School
at
the
state
meet
and
when
you
get
to
state
a
lot
of
the
teams
that
compete
down
there
or
have
ten
11
12
13
14
swimmers
competing
for
their
teams
and
that's
how
their
teams
rank
so
high.
But
these
four
guys
took
on
all
of
those
teams
that
were
down
there
and
earned
enough
points
and
all
of
their
events
to
finish.
L
L
They
also
finished
second
in
the
400
meter
relay
so
the
each
I
had
to
swim
four
legs
and
they
also
received
an
all-american
time
of
three
minutes
and
six
seconds.
Then
the
next
one
Nick
Hackett,
who
is
a
junior
here,
raishin
Nick?
He
won.
He
won
the
individual
state
title
and
the
200
free
lei
relay
with
an
all-american
consideration
time
at
school
record
of
139.
He
also
won
the
100
butterfly
all-american
time
in
48
88.
So
that's
four
laps,
and
so
that's
12
seconds
going
down
the
pool
and
back
doing
the
butterfly.
L
The
Jack
Neely
raise
your
hand
Jack.
He
was
second
in
the
state
and
the
50
freestyle
John
Hutten,
our
lone
senior.
He
was
third
in
the
200
IM,
with
an
all-american
time
at
150
and
fourth
and
100
breaststroke
and
then
drew
heightened
our
foot
loans.
Sophomore
was
fourth
in
the
50
freestyle
and
seventh
in
103.
So
so
they
finished
state.
They
represented
Clay
County.
Well,
they
represented
Fleming
Island
well
and
the
the
one
thing
I
will
say
about
them:
they
put
so
much
time
and
effort
into
their
swimming.
L
They
said
all
swim
on
club
teams
and
all
that,
but
they
they
love
to
represent
Fleming
Island,
High
School,
but
as
a
principal
I'm,
proud
to
say
that
they
have
a
combined.
They
can
not
only
do
it
in
the
pool,
but
they
can
do
it
in
the
classroom,
and
these
four
young
men
combined
have
a
3.8
GPA
overall
between
the
two.
E
M
Good
evening,
everyone,
this
is
really
an
exciting
evening
tonight,
I'm
glad
we
could
be
here.
As
you
said,
I'm
Karen
Robinson
I
am
the
instructional
media
services
specialist
from
the
instructional
resources
department.
Joining
me
are
dr.
sandy
Rohan
supervisor

and
the
school
media

attending
tonight's
school
board
meeting
as
we
come
together
to
honor
our
media
festival
honorees.
M
The
annual
fame
conference
is
always
an
exciting
time
for
Clay
County
media
specialists.
Not
only
is
the
conference
a
time
for
us
to
develop
professionally,
but
it's
also
a
time
that
our
Clay
County
students
are
highlighted
during
the
gym.
Harbin
state
awards
ceremony
that
occurs
on
the
final
day
of
the
conference.
This
year
was
no
exception.
Six
of
our
schools
had
local
injuries
in
the
2015-16
competition
that
advanced
from
first
place
at
the
local
level
to
first
place
at
the
regional
level
which
qualified
them
to
advance
to
the
state
level
of
competition.
M
Final
judging
took
place
last
June
and
then
the
top
three
entries
statewide
in
each
of
eleven
categories
were
recognized
at
the
state
awards
ceremony
in
October
tonight
we
honor
the
sixth
Clay
County
Schools
34
Clay
County
students
who
advanced
to
state
finals.
Most
of
the
schools
are
represented
tonight,
but
we
do
have
a
few
conflicts
as
I
call
the
name
of
the
winning
entry.
Unlike
for
the
students,
the
sponsors
and
the
media
specialists

He

a
combat
engineer,
working

in
Operation
Iraqi
Freedom.
He
served
18
months
and
got
injured

roadside
bomb.
When
he
returned
home
he
was
suffering

and
then
Toby

Q
March
is
national
youth
art
month
and
comprehend
Elementary's
our
club
decided
to
do
a
school-wide
art
project
based
on
Dale
Chihuly's
artwork
Dale
Chihuly
is
an
artist
who
specializes
in
the
art
of
blown
glass.
He
changed
the
art
by
combining
small
pieces
of
glass
and
a
beautiful
masterpieces
of
large-scale
sculptures
using
the
team
approach.
One
of
his
goals
is
to
create
environmental
art
where
the
art
reflects
the
beauty
of
nature.
His
artwork
is
found
all
over
the
world.

Want
to
recommend
that
you
go
on
the
website
to
see
the
full
story,
because
you
couldn't
get
the
full
story
of
some
of
those.
It's
Florida,
Media

go
to

Jim,

We
are

and
I
hope

them.
The
deadline

they're
supposed
to

they
better

Okay

and
school
board
members.
M
E
S
S
S
Our
teachers
return
this
school
year
in
1617.
They
were
challenged
to
advocate
and
take
responsibility
for
all.
So
that's
where
the
all
means
all
came
from
I'd
also
like
to
recognize
tonight,
just
because
we
have
that
hometown
feel
I
do
have
my
vice
principal
mr.
Williams
assistant,
principal
Miss,
Stephanie,
Palmer
and
assistant
principal
Scott,
Thomas,
so
I
think
it
means
a
lot
to
me
that
they
came
to
support
Middlebrook
high
school
tonight
as
well.
So
thank
you,
I
think
that
shines
in
our
school
culture
as
well.
Another
one
of
our
strengths
is
a
common
message.
S
This
year,
I
began
the
year
by
meeting
with
every
cohort
group
9th
grade
through
12th
grade
and
showed
a
video
about
the
importance
of
graduating
and
continuing
to
learn
beyond
high
school.
After
four
days
and
24
presentations,
all
students
heard
the
same
voice.
Conveying
the
same
message.
It
has
often
said
that
kids
will
live
up
to
expectations
and
high
expectations
if
we
expect
it
from
them
this
year,
when
a
meeting
with
all
the
students
I
set
the
expectation
of
best
effort
each
day
and
describe
exactly
what
that
looked
like.
S
As
a
Middleburg
high
school
student,
we
hold
students
accountable
for
these
behaviors
each
day.
The
motto
has
gone
viral
with
students
and
they
use
the
motto
as
motivation
to
do
their
best:
students,
tweet
the
motto
and
if
we
know
what
tweeting
is
but
I'm
I'm
getting
some
more
familiar
with
it,
but
students
do
and
I'll
send
pictures
of
examples
of
their
best
effort
and
they'll.
Stop
me
in
the
hallway
and
say
mr.
S
Bronco
nation,
is
an
innovation
innovation
way
that
Middleburg
high
school
has
tried
to
tackle
some
of
our
opportunities.
We
leverage
time
we
leverage
people
and
we
leverage
of
the
curriculum
while
a
culture
of
belonging
is
certainly
outstanding.
The
new
rigor
of
the
Florida
standards
still
challenges
our
students
performance
on
state
assessments
using
a
collective
process
with
the
staff
MHS
has
become
the
first
school
to
get
100%
buy-in
for
the
implementation
of
a
schedule
that
provides
both
remediation
and
acceleration
support
for
students
during
the
school
day.
S
During
this
time,
teachers
are
available
for
tutoring
and
support
student
learning.
Every
ninth
graders
assign
a
2020
time
in
2020
sa
year
of
the
graduation
freshmen
students
scoring
below
grade
level
and
the
FSA
ela
assessment
are
placed
in
our
achieve
3000
reading
labs.
During
this
time,
data
is
analyzed
to
ensure
students
are
making
learning
gains
to
date.
60%
of
these
students
have
continued
to
make
reading
learning
gains.
How
do
we
leverage
people
building
on
all
means
all
culture?
S
We
have
worked
hard
to
build
buy-in
and
take
a
collective
responsibility
for
all
students,
no
matter
if
they
are
assigned
to
you
or
not
during
our
2020
time
or
enrichment
time.
You'll
find
coaches
support
staff
teachers
if
they
don't
teach
them
they're,
still
tutoring
them
and
working
with
them
a
personal
relationship
or
a
professional
relationship.
Students
want
to
get
help
from
anybody
on
our
campus.
S
So
during
this
time
we
have
a
school-wide
lunch,
we're
1,750
students
eat
at
one
time
for
60
minutes,
30
minutes
we
require
students
to
get
that
extra
help
with
pease
student
you're
finding
that
time
and
they
do
they
want
it.
They
love
it.
They
need
it.
Our
students
that
maybe
are
struggling
winners
or
need
the
extra
time
for
support
and
assistance.
They
have
that
time.
It's
fantastic
to
be
able
to
sit
in
a
parent
conference
and
say:
do
you
understand
two
days
a
week?
S
You
don't
need
transportation
we
haven't
built
in
that
they
can
find
any
teacher
on
our
campus
anytime.
They
can
get
help
it's
nice
when
you
see
a
parent.
Look
that
child
in
the
eye
and
say
Johnny.
You
know
where
you
need
to
be
alright,
so
they
want
that
child.
With
that
teacher
for
those
two
days
a
week,
how
do
we
leverage
our
curriculum
at
Middleburg
High
School
we've
created
a
working
Bell
schedule
that
operates
on
a
blended
block
schedule
two
days
a
week
where
students
are
provided
opportunity
to
dive
deeper
into
the
curriculum.
S
Our
commitment,
c2g
MHS,
was
the
first
high
school
in
Clay
County
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
our
twenty
twenty
students
to
participate
in
a
commitment
ceremony.
It
was
a
precursor
to
graduation
on
September
30th
2016
during
the
ceremony,
which
mirrored
a
graduation
ceremony.
I
asked
each
student
to
commit
to
put
forth
their
best
effort
during
the
freshman
year
and
beyond.
The
end
result
in
four
years.
Graduation
and
many
of
you
were
there
and
took
part
and
observed
in
witnessed
what
took
place
on
September
30th
2016.
S
We
made
a
decision
to
stop
talking
about
transitioning
from
ninth
grade,
but
to
start
talking
about
graduation
the
minute
they
walk
through
our
doors
and
focus
on
that
that
piece.
We
want
graduation
in
four
years,
so
we
provided
each
ninth
grader
student
with
a
reminder.
Wristband
with
c2g
2020
commit
to
graduate
in
2020
I
will
provide
one
of
those
for
you
as
well
ownership
opportunities.
We
have
great
partnerships
with
local
businesses
in
our
area.
Our
academies
are
two
that
we
would
like
to
highlight
tonight.
S
We
have
many
more,
but
the
two
that
we
highlight
are:
we
started
a
partnership
with
vice
tower
this
school
year
with
a
ribbon-cutting
ceremony
on
September
27th.
Our
new
vice
tower
branch
has
open
52
new
accounts
that
support
our
students,
our
staff
and
our
teachers.
Also,
our
medical
program
has
partnered
with
another
strong
community
member
at
st.
Vincent's
Medical
Center
students
have
opportunities
to
log
clinical
hours
each
day.
Last
year
we
had
100%
pass
rate
in
both
CNA
and
EKG.
Certifications
and
EKG
was
the
first
opportunity
last
year.
S
So
what
does
it
all
mean?
It
means
Middlebury,
High
School
is
where
all
really
does
mean.
All
I
would
like
to
believe
that
Millbrook
high
school
is
a
trendsetter
and
the
fact
that
they
are
the
first
to
establish
a
blended
schedule
where
students
can
accelerate
their
learning
and
be
supported
to
walk
the
doors
committing
to
graduate
and
having
opportunities
to
partner
with
strong
businesses.
I've
said
this,
and
since
the
day
that
I
walked
in
Middleburg
doors,
it
is
the
best
kept
secret
in
Clay
County.
S
B
Through
the
chair,
mr.
Felner,
you
thank
you
so
very
much
for
being
the
first,
but
I
want
to
tell
you
tonight.
You
set
the
bar
your
professionalism,
your
energy,
your
focus
is
is,
is,
is
really
excited,
exciting
opportunity
for
Clay,
County
and
I'm
excited
to
learn
and
lead
next
to
you
in
order
to
be
all
in
and
in
order
to
grow
and
create
great
things
within
your
school
within
this
county.
So
thank
you
for
being
the
first,
but
also
thank
you
for
setting
a
high
bar
for
this
organization.
Thank.
S
E
E
Well,
she
would
be
sitting
down
there
in
for
at
miss
Gila
house
ins,
already
got
it.
Okay,
so
I
think
you've
probably
noticed.
We've
changed
up
our
agenda
a
little
bit.
We've
started
out
with
some
really
bright
spots
in
our
district.
You
know
the
the
cherry
pickers
and
and
some
presentations
and
awards
and
recognitions,
and
we
decided
to
have
our
presentation
from
the
audience
at
the
beginning
of
our
meeting.
Instead
of
at
the
end
where
people
would
have
to
wait
all
night,
and
we
know
some
nights,
it
was
pretty
late.
T
Elementary
students,
myself
and
other
parents
feel
that
transportation
does
not
take
us
serious.
When
we
bring
our
issues,
complaints
to
them.
It
goes
in
one
ear
out
the
other.
When
we
have
documentation
proof,
it's
ignored
supervisors
make
assumptions,
make
lies
on
things
instead
of
really
investigating
the
problem
too
many
cover-ups
too
many
favors
too
many
buddies
parents
complain
until
they're
blue
in
the
face
it's
time
for
someone
to
really
hold
transportation
responsible
for
their
actions.
In
conclusion,
mr.
T
U
That
aggravates
me
anyway.
On
a
lighter
note,
my
name
is
Wanda
climber
and
my
address
is
on
file.
Last
year
we
fought
tooth
and
nail
transportation
issues
this
year.
I
have
a
new
agenda.
We
have
school
bus
loops
that
need
to
be
addressed.
We
have
schools,
speaking
Charlie
Bennett
I'm,
a
bus
driver
in
Green
Cove,
the
school
bus
loop.
There
is
horrible
if
one
bus
breaks
down
every
bus
behind
that
bus
is
stuck
until
the
first
bus
is
moved.
U
It
is
hard
to
get
in
and
out
of
that
bus
loop,
and
so,
if
you
would
please
come
visit,
look
at
what
we're
talking
about
and
help
us
to
get.
This
matter
changed
at
Clay
high.
You
can
get
out
in
the
afternoon
because
we
have
an
officer
escorting
us
out
letting
us
out,
but
when
you
get
in
in
the
mornings
to
drop
your
students
off,
you
can
barely
get
out
without
having
an
accident.
That's
a
big
problem.
We
have
issues
that
we
need
addressed.
U
There
are
other
schools
like
Oakley
Oakleaf,
hi
I've,
heard
drivers
over
the
radio
complaining
about
not
being
able
to
get
out
because
cars
are
going
in
front
of
them.
Thunderbolt
Patterson,
so
we've
got
issues
with
our
bus
loops
that
we
really
really
need
to
have
fixed
one.
So
our
children
don't
get
hurt,
so
we
don't
have
accidents
with
children
on
them
and
the
buses
have
to
sit
there
for
an
hour
while
reports
done.
So,
if
you
would,
please
help
us
with
that,
the
other
thing
is
we
have.
U
There
are
two
routes
out
on
16
East,
which
is
better
known
as
Leonard
C
tailor
Parkway.
We
need
some
bus.
Stop
sign
ahead.
Signs
out
there
on
that
road.
The
speed
limit
goes
from
45
to
55
right
we're.
Both
bus
stops
are
at
that
speed.
Limit
increases
to
55,
you
know
as
well
as
I.
Do
drivers
exceed
that
speed
before
they
even
get
to
the
speed
limit
sign.
We
need
some
signs
out
there
flashing
light.
U
Next
thing:
phone
numbers
for
principals:
for
schools
for
nurses:
you
have
drivers
that
I'm
not
asking
any
principal
any
teacher
to
be
at
a
school
at
five
o'clock
in
the
morning
when
I
leave,
but
to
at
least
be
there
by
six.
So
is
that
when
somebody
needs
you
and
need
your
attention,
you
can
be
there.
Somebody
can
get
a
hold
of
you
and
in
the
afternoons
when
a
parent's
not
there
to
pick
up
a
kindergartener,
we
can
get
a
hold
of
that
school
and
say
hey.
U
Our
driver
is
having
to
bring
this
kid
back
because
you
know,
or
if
we
have
a
big
fight
on
a
bus,
we're
not
pulling
a
bus
over
one
side
of
the
road,
we're
heading
back
to
the
school
and
we
need
administration
there
and
then
the
last
thing
we
need
more
than
one
dispatcher.
If
you
can
see
your
way
clear,
because
one
dispatcher
for
every
driver
in
Clay
County
is
not
enough
in
the
mornings.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
E
V
V
She
brings
home
her
homework,
her
schoolwork
and
I'm,
going
through
with
it
and
I'm
one
of
those
parents
I'm
on
her.
She
knows
she
has
to
have
good
grades.
She
tries
her
hardest,
but
when
she
brings
home
work,
that
is
the
vision
and
she
has
not
even
done
multiplication
yet,
except
for
up
to
three
x'
and
she
brings
in
multiplication.
I
mean
division
when
they
haven't
even
learned
that
she
brings
home
division.
They
haven't
learned
multiplication.
That
is
an
issue.
V
How
do
you
expect
our
kids
to
be
able
to
exceed
and
division
if
they
haven't
learned
what
the
location,
when
my
daughter
had
asked
the
teacher
about
that,
because
I
sat
at
home
going
through
with
her.
How
did
you
division?
She
asked
her
teacher
why
they
were
already
doing
division.
Her
teacher
said
because
they
have
to
get
teach
both
of
them
to
be
able
to
get
at
the
end
of
the
year,
for
them
to
be
able
to
pass
that
test.
V
V
W
My
name
is
Becky
Smith.
My
address
is
on
file,
but
I
know
you're,
seeing
it
look.
Probably
you
haven't
seen
before.
I
am
frustrated.
I
am
at
Clay
County
school
bus
driver
and
proud
to
be
one,
but
when
I
hear
tea,
parents
been
flicked
off
it's
embarrassing
and
for
that
I'm,
sorry
that
that's
happened
to
you.
W
It's
very
unprofessional
when
I
hear
kids
with
Common
Core
I've
spoke
to
y'all
before,
concerning
with
children
get
on
my
bus
I've
said
about
this
Common
Core
we're
setting
our
children
up
for
failure
can't
expect
them
to
do
division
if
they
haven't
had
multiplication
and
as
I
always
say
what
the
crap
seriously
you're
setting
them
up
for
failure.
That's
unacceptable
we're
supposed
to
elevate
our
children.
We
need
to
start
elevating
our
children,
let
our
teachers
teach
and
get
rid
of
this
comic
or
now
far
as
transportation
goes.

Good
evening
Renly
pi,
the
president
of
the
CCE,
a
there's,
a
couple
things
of
concern
for
us
when
I
first
came
to
this
school
district
19
years
ago,
we
used
to
have
a
notary
at
every
school
and
I
thought.
That
was.
That
was
great
because
it
was
a
community
thing.
So
if
people
couldn't
afford
to
get
something
notarized,
they
knew
that
they
had
to
go
to
the
local
school
and
they
could
get
it
done.
AA
We
don't
have
that
anymore
and
we
don't
have
a
notary
at
every
school
and
we
also
have
a
lot
of
faculty
members
who
have
been
very
sick
lately
or
needed
days,
and
in
order
to
transfer
days
over
to
them
it
has
to
be
notarized
for
payroll.
So
a
couple
times
it's
been
kind
of
an
emergency
situation
and
I
called
it.
One
instance
I
called
three
schools
in
the
same
area
and
none
of
them
had
a
notary,
so
I
would
like
if
mr.
Davis
could
see.
AA
If
we
can
put
that
I,
don't
know
if
it's
in
somebody's
job
description,
it
used
to
always
be
the
principal
secretary
and
I'm
I,
kept
forgetting
to
ask
you
if
we
could
have
a
look
at
it,
because
parents
come
into
the
school
I
know
as
a
guidance
counselor
parents
used
to
come
in
and
say:
can
I
get
a
notary?
No,
we
don't
have
what
aren't
spark
Junior.
We
always
had
one.
So
it
was
really
great
and
I'm
concerned
that
we
seem
to
have
a
lack
of
notaries
and
I.
AA
AA
We
have
a
new
requirement
that
we
hadn't
been
doing
before
we're
kids,
where
the
we
couldn't
sell
snacks
anymore
during
the
school
day
or
I'm,
not
sure
that
is,
and
apparently
it's
a
it's
a
loss
as
a
statute,
so
I
think.
Maybe
we
should
have
some
sort
of
a
roundtable
think
about
this,
because
we
have
clubs,
we
have
yearbook.
We
have
class
sponsor
and
they're
all
kind
of
throwing
their
hands
up
going.
AA
How
am
I
going
to
earn
this
money
because
they
used
to
sell
all
sorts
of
muffins
in
the
mornings
donuts
or
whatever
so
grab?
You
know
graduation,
all
that
stuff
and
every
one
of
them
all
these
sponsors
are
calling
me
and
if
we're
gonna
take
it
away,
we
kind
of
need
to
have
to
think
about
what
we're
gonna
do
for
these,
because
I
would
hate
to
see
kids,
not
drama,
kids
can't
go
to
state,
they
can't
afford
it
and
we
used
to
sell.
AA
They
sell
things
to
be
able
to
send
these
kids
to
state,
and
there
has
to
be
an
alternative.
I
understand.
We
have
to
abide
by
the
law,
but
we
have
to
have
a
thought
of
what
we're
going
to
do,
to
be
able
to
raise
money
for
our
children
to
be
able
to
compete
and
and
to
be
able
to
to
go
to
different
places.
That
has
been
a
huge
concern
this
month,
because
I
think
January.
We
start
this
new
I'm
not
doing
it.
I
asked
other
counties
what
they
do
and
the
president
st.
AA
John's
text
me
back
and
she
said
well.
I
just
bought
a
Hershey's
bar,
there's
junior
high,
so
I
know
it's
all
the
regulations
out
there,
but
there's
still
some
things
because
we
don't
know
an
alternative.
So
mr.
Davis,
maybe
we
need
another
committee
that
would
be
fun.
Okay,
your
legislative
priorities
are.
AA
Know
we
what
candy
bars
back,
you
know,
and
they
asked
me
because
there
is
a
regulation
about
healthy
snacks.
So
are
they
allowed
to
do
the
healthy
snacks
within
the
school
day?
That's
something
to
look
at
because
some
schools
are
saying
no
to
me
and
other
schools
saying
well
it's
under
those
calories.
Why
not
so
I,
don't
know
what
the
law
is,
but
we're
gonna
have
to
to
figure
that
one
out
seriously
I
know
at
Orange
Park
High
School.
They
had
four
people
drop
out
of
going
to
state
because
they
simply
cannot
afford
to
go.
AA
You
know,
and
so
it
is
us
and
those
those
people
don't
earn.
Spiked
juniors
are
serious
about
fundraising.
You
know
and
I
think
all
the
high
schools
probably
are
legislative
priorities
every
time.
There's
an
election
every
time.
There's
anything
it's
all.
This
talk
about
I'm
against
Common
Core
we're
gonna
have
to
be
against
Common
Core.
If
that's,
if
that's
what
you
ran
on,
that's
your
feeling.
You
know
darn.
Well,
your
stay
legislators
approved
common
core.
We
have
to
stop
not
being
truthful
to
parents
and
I.
Don't
think
we're
purposely
not
being
truthful.
AA
If
it's
developmentally
inappropriate,
then
it's
time
at
the
local
level
that
we
stand
up
to
it,
and
that's
that's
my
feeling.
So
when
I
hear,
when
I
hear
that
parent
and
I
hear
my
teachers,
you
know
I
have
a
teacher
today
say
kindergarten
and
my
principal
said
to
me:
well
you
got
to
do
the
testing
strategies
you
know
or
third
grade
or
second
grade
testing.
No,
we
don't.
We
have
to
be
kids,
we
have
to
start
developing
children
and
we've
lost
sight
of
that
and
I'm
just
old.
So
I
can
say
that.
AA
Okay
and
you
know
I,
agree
legislative
priorities.
I'm
doing
I've
asked
to
speak
to
the
legislative
hearing,
so
Senator
Bradley
and
both
our
representatives
coming
in
and
pain.
You
know
what
I'm
gonna
speak
on.
It's
going
to
be
testing
because
we
have
to
stand
up
to
that.
I
know
we
obey
state
law
that
were
only
5%,
but
all
you're
doing
is
timing.
The
actual
test,
you're,
not
timing,
the
hours
that
our
teachers
spend
preparing,
teaching,
kids,
how
to
use
the
computer
or
their
device
drop
down
boxes
nice.
AA
You
know
our
kids
don't
use
a
mouse,
normally
they're
swiping
everything,
so
it's
a
whole
learning
so
to
make
that
90-minute
test
we're
spending,
hours,
teaching
kids
to
test,
there's
something
wrong
with
that
and
we
I
will
be
talking
to
the
state
legislature.
But
again
our
local
school
boards
have
to
start
standing
up
and
I
at
the
calendar
committee
this
week.
Last
this
week
last
week,
I
don't
remember
now.
I
said
it's
time
for
parents.
Parents
have
to
join
us
on
that.
AA
AA
AA
AA
If
I
said
to
you,
all
brand-new
rookie
cops
have
to
get
paid
more
than
veteran
cops.
Our
all
brand-new
rookie
fireman
must
get
paid
more
than
veteran
firemen,
because
we
give
no
value
to
seniority
or
experience.
You
would
look
at
me
like
I
was
a
little
off
off
the
rail
here,
but
that's
what
we're
saying
to
teachers.
If
you're
a
highly
effective
teacher,
you
must
get
an
AC
annual
contract
teacher.
You
must
get
paid
by
law,
more
than
veteran
teachers
that
are
holding
a
continuing
contract.
AA
All
you're
saying
is
you'd
evaluate
me
and
those
40
years
I
spent
in
this
this
and
we're
in
a
bargaining
enough.
You
know
so
it's
a
forefront
of
our
thought.
It's
missing
from
your
legislative
priorities
at
least
I
would
like
my
school
board
to
have
a
look
at
exactly
what
the
law
says
and
then
talk
to
your
teachers
on
how
it
makes
them
feel.
AA
Mr.
Davis
asked
me
if
I
would
get
together
some
committees,
just
a
few
17
and
I
have
so.
Therefore,
17
committees
have
been
formed.
A
hundred
and
forty
teachers
have
answered
the
call
to
come
forward
and
I
will
be
given
sending
you
that
list
tomorrow
and
we
can
go
ahead
and
start
having
that
conversations
with
them
their
literacy
committees.
AA
They
are
math
committees,
their
ESC
committees,
their
climate
committees,
their
discipline,
committees
and
student
services,
committees
and
lots
of
teachers
have
a
lot
to
say
and
I
value
that
I'm
really
glad
you
you're
putting
this
part
of
your
100-day
plan,
I'm,
really
glad
to
see
that
you're
putting
together
and
going
to
spend
the
time
to
talk.
You
know
you
call
it
listen
and
talk.
Is
that
something
like
something
like
that?
I
call
it
chill
and
chat.
So
everybody
was
correcting
me
today.
I
said
that's
mr.
AA
E
D
AB
Well,
good
evening,
it's
really
nice
to
be
here
and
to
be
invited.
That's
just
kind
of
makes
me
feel
warm
and
fuzzy,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say.
First
of
all,
personally
I
did
performance
matters
testing.
Today
we
had
that
that
in
school
for
the
for
the
semester
exams-
and
we
were
doing
performance
matters
on
US
history
in
the
lab
setting
and
lo
and
behold,
we
had
a
glitch
I
got
a
call
from
from
the
people
who
were
testing
in
the
labs.
AB
My
students
can't
see
the
graphics
attached
to
the
test,
so
they're,
given
a
political
cartoon
and
asked
to
answer
a
question
related
to
a
political
cartoon
that
they
couldn't
see
problem
so
I
scramble
around
I,
make
some
coffees
of
the
graphics
and
get
it
to
them.
District
office
contacted
them
and,
and
they
got
on
it
right
away
and
they
took
care
of
the
issue,
but
there
again
we
have
to
think
as
rental
they
was
speaking
to
our
teachers
are
being
accounted
accountable
for
this.
AB
You
know
at
any
time
you
have
a
testing
situation
where
you
have
a
student
that
something
goes
wrong.
The
frustration
level
of
the
students
rise
and
the
performance
decreases,
and
it's
going
to
affect
our
teachers
and
the
students.
So
it's
just
something:
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
on
the
flip
side
here.
I
just
want
to
say
from
this
support
perspective,
I've
been
hearing
some
different
chitchat.
Lately,
I've
been
hearing
words
of
optimism,
I've
been
hearing
some
some
hopefulness
I've
been
hearing,
people,
say
wow,
I,
think
somebody's
listening,
I've
been
hearing.
AB
People
say
that
that
that
they're
getting
a
sense
that
the
work
that
they
do
maybe
matters
a
little
bit
and
that's
a
good
feeling
we're
moving
in
the
right
direction
and
I
appreciate
that
and
then
tonight
to
come
here
and
and
and
I
just
want
to
remind
all
of
you,
those
cherry
pickers
that
were
up
here.
They
were
wonderful
and
Uncle.
John
was
our
support,
related
Employee
of
the
Year
for
Clay
County
last
year.
AB
This
is
what
your
support
does
your
support
make
an
impact
on
the
lives
of
the
students,
along
with
your
teachers,
but
your
support
do
make
that
impact
and
then
to
listen
to
miss
Roth.
Give
that
beautiful
presentation
for
miss
Batchelor
who
started
out
as
what
a
support
employee
our
support
employee,
our
in
the
in
in
the
capable
of
doing
great
things.
If
given
the
opportunity
to
do
that,
and
that's
what
we
want
to
do,
mr.
Davis,
we
want
to
be
part
of
your
elevate
clay
plan.
We
want
to
be
a
part
of
it.
AB
We
we
are
the
ones
that
these
students
see
first
thing
they're
the
first
people
that
most
of
our
students
see
and
the
last
people
that
most
of
our
students
see
I've
seen
custodial
staff
sitting
in
a
courtyard
talking
with
a
student
who's
having
a
meltdown
for
some
reason.
I've
seen,
cafeteria
workers
pay
for
a
child's
lunch
that
didn't
have
money
for
lunch.
I've
seen
teacher's
assistants
buy
shoes
and
coats
I've
seen
nurses
provide
clothing
for
students
who
don't
have
it
I've,
seen
secretarial
staff
go
together
and
and
and
provide
needs
and
food
for
students.
AB
Your
support
staff
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
the
students.
We
want
to
make
a
difference
and
we
want
to
be
included
in
this
plan
and
we
think
that
together
we're
gonna
grow
this.
So
I
just
urge
you
tap
into
those
amazing
resources
that
you
have
at
your
fingertips,
but
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
I
I
just
really
appreciate
it,
and
you
know
the
beginning
of
your
of
your
opportunity
to
speak
really,
hopefully
we're
setting
a
tone,
we're
really
starting
to
listen
collaborate
and
learn
from
our
our
stakeholders,
whether
they
are
teachers,
community
members,
support
staff,
because,
as
I
said
before,
this
is
a
360
accountability
option
for
us.
So
everyone
in
this
room,
everyone
in
this
county,
everyone
in
this
organization,
it
would
take
all
of
us
in
order
to
elevate
clay
and
I.
B
B
D
B
I
have
to
kind
of
incorporate
that
and
remind
my
next
conversations,
but
I
had
a
presentation
that
there
we
go
elevate,
clay
and
tonight.
I
just
want
to
talk
about
the
rationale
for
for
building
this
plan.
You
know
when
you
get
into
a
part
where
you
you're
in
this
campaign
and
you're
working
to
become
the
next
leader
of
Clay
County
in
order
to
improve
the
experiences
for
in
teaching
and
learning
within
the
within
the
school
system.
B
You
know,
and
you
win
the
primary
and
you
start
to
think:
oh
well,
we're
getting
closer
to
potentially
winning
this
opportunity
to
to
be
honored
to
be
the
superintendent
in
Clay
County
school
system,
and
then
you
get
to
the
the
general
election.
You
actually
win.
Well,
there's
a
couple
week
period
where
you
say
wow
what
am
I
going
to
do
hey.
You
know
you
know
I'm
about
to
get
the
keys
to
this
Ferrari
and
do
I
push
the
gas
pedal.
Is
it
going
to
be
a
stick
see
if
it's
gonna
be
automatic?
B
What
do
I
park
it
in
the
same
thing
and
I?
Consider
Clay
County
to
be
that
Ferrari
as
it
relates
to
a
high
functioning
high
quality
school
system,
and
you
know,
in
order
for
me
to
come
in
I'm,
trying
to
figure
out
what's
gonna
happen
in
this
day,
so
really
sat
down
and
created
this
100
a
entry
plan
which
this
plan
really
acts
as
a
blueprint
for
my
actions
in
the
first
100
days.
It
really
facilitates
my
leadership
and
my
collaboration
with
all
of
our
coders
and
this
evening.
B
I
just
want
to
talk
about
what
I
plan
to
do
as
we
move
forward
in
our
in
a
hundred
days
as
we
look
about
the
rationale
as
I
said
before.
This
is
just
an
opportunity
for
me
to
listen.
Learn
problem-solving
act
to
really
engage
every
stakeholder
in
this
organization
in
the
community
in
the
business
organization
to
really
figure
out
what
our
strengths
and
what
our
weaknesses
are
in
this
organization.
B
As
we
look
at
the
superintendent's
role,
I
think
there's
really
three
areas
that
a
superinten
should
really
focus
on
the
first
one
is
the
superintendent
has
to
be
an
agent
of
change.
This
is
where
one
who
really
moves
peoples
of
people
and
organizations,
the
Ford
under
any
difficult
situation,
and
it's
not
easy
to
lead
an
organization
and
lead
a
school
system.
Every
day
our
teachers
come
to
work,
they
work
so
hard,
our
support
staff
and
our
leaders.
B
It's
not
an
easy
job,
because
what
we're
doing
to
create
the
foundation
of
our
learners
and
creating
the
individuals
to
be
able
to
complete
in
the
in
our
global
society
and
I
believe
we'll.
Also
a
superintendents
role
is
also
to
be
the
the
leading
learner,
the
one
who
really
understands
and
models
learning,
but
also
creates
the
norms
and
the
conditions
for
one
to
learn.
This
is
where
we
don't
take
an
approach
from
a
top-down,
but
we
work
side
by
side.
B
Are
our
leaders
and
our
teachers
to
problem-solve
and
decision
making
work
collectively
to
look
at
every
facet
of
the
school
system
or
to
be
successful
in
the
final
part,
I
believe
a
superintendent's
role
is
is
to
be
a
system
player.
What
do
we
got
have
to
do
is
well.
How
can
I
contribute
to
our
success,
and
what
can
we
do
in
order
to
to
work
collectively
to
really
understand
the
entire
system?
B
And
what
can
we
do
to
put
processes
in
place
where
we'll
work
in
in
in
everything
that
we
do
is
aligned
to
our
strategic
plan,
which
we
eventually
develop
after
our
100-day
plan?
As
we
look
at
our
as
we
look
into
organizations,
every
organization
has
should
be
focused
on
a
theory
of
change,
and
we
talk
about
a
theory
of
change.
B
Our
ultimate
goal
and
the
first
step
of
leading
Clay
County
will
be
to
make
certain
that
we
build
a
positive,
focused,
focused
school
communities
where
we
have
a
safe
environment
and
it's
conducive
to
learning
and
every
facet,
whether
it's
on
the
bus,
whether
it's
in
our
classroom,
whether
it's
in
our
common
areas.
How
do
we
interact
with
our
staff
and
how
do
we
interact
with
our
students
in
order
to
create
the
best
environment?
B
Administrators
in
in
support
staff
as
well-
and
this
also
makes
certain
that
we're
very
honest
in
our
evaluation
systems,
how
they
look,
how
we're
evaluating,
how
we're
holding
crucial
conversations
and
how
we're
building
capacities
and
then
in
another
part
of
this,
is
really
looking
at
how
our
professional
development
is
leveraged
and
use
to
maximizing
human
capital.
So
we
truly
understand
our
state
standards
and
how
to
leverage
the
curriculum
in
order
to
improve
results.
In
once,
we
have
a
great
safe
environment.
B
Then
we
will
be
able
to
accomplish
what
we
aspire
to
accomplish,
which
to
make
certain
our
students
are
college
and
career
and
life
ready
and
that's
what
we
aspire
to
do
and
that's
a
k-12
continuum
and
that's
a
k12
focus
and
that
theory
of
change
believe
will
lead
the
areas
of
focus
of
my
my
plan
for
elevate
clay
and
the
first
one.
I
have
six
areas
that
I'll
focus
on
and
the
first
one
is
to
institute
a.
We
enhance
the
board
and
superintendent
relationship.
B
I
will
tell
you
the
last
four
weeks
have
been
beautiful
from
a
superintendent
standpoint
to
interact
with
everybody
on
this
board.
They've
been
very
receptive,
very
professional.
Please
know
they
have
pushed
back
respectfully.
We've
had
hard
conversations,
we've
had
great
conversations,
and
this
is
a
team
effort.
This
is
not
Addison
Davis's
superintendent
in
the
school
board.
The
mentality
of
that
is
no
longer.
This
is
a
team
that
will
lead
together
and
stand
side-by-side
and
problem-solve
week
will
not
work
a
night
in
isolation.
When
we
will
always
act
professional,
we
will
not
always
have.
B
Thank
you,
I'm,
not
telling
you
we're
always
gonna
have
a
five-oh
vote
because
we're
not
because
these
individuals
are
here
for
kids,
but
they
were
going
to
hold
me
accountable
and
I'm,
going
to
help
every
moment
in
every
minute
to
help
them
understand
my
vision
for
elevate
in
Clay,
County
and
moving
the
experiences.
The
next
goal
would
be
to
look
at
every
facet
of
our
framework,
so
our
instructional
frameworks
work.
Are
they
best
for
our
kids?
What
are
our
structures?
What
are
what?
How
is
our
technology
platforms
used
to
leverage
our
results
with
our
kids?
B
Are
we
not
only
teaching
that
whole
whole
group
and
whole
development,
or
we
really
focus
on
small
group
and
then
individualize
learning,
and
this
allows
us
to
look
at
our
assessments
as
well
or
do
our
assessments
internally?
Are
they
validated?
Do
they
really
match
what
the
state
assessments
and
allows
us
to
have
a
predictor,
true
predictor?
And
if
they're
not,
we
need
to
sit
back
and
refine
and
engage
teachers
in
order
to
create
the
best
experiences
for
our
kids
and
then,
most
importantly,
I.
B
Think
in
this
organization,
which
I've
been
trying
to
own
and
create
in
the
last
four
weeks
is
really
creating
a
positive
culture.
We
have
professionalism
from
every
aspect
of
this
organization.
We
will
model
that
from
this
side
and
we
will
make
sure
that
we
that
trickles
down
not
only
at
the
district
level
but
at
a
school
level,
but
also
in
the
classroom
level,
which
will
permeate
through
our
students
and
to
our
parents.
And
then
my
next
one
would
be
look
at
our
performance
management
system.
Does
everybody
in
this
room
understand
the
district's
vision
and
mission?
B
And
if
we
do
not,
it
is
my
job
to
make
sure
you
do
so
that
we
can
work
side-by-side
and
create
that
360
accountability
that
I
spoke
about
earlier
and
then
making
sure
that
I
connect
the
the
entire
community
in
the
public.
So
they
have
a
voice
and
they
really
start
to
be
student
advocates
and
advocates
of
Clay
County
school
system
and
understand.
B
That's
not
acceptable
to
have
the
yo
yo
factor
of
being
a
a
to
a
B
to
an
a
to
a
B,
but
we're
systemically
an
a
because
we
are
high
functioning
and
we
have
first-round
draft
picks
in
our
classrooms
and
also
in
our
support
staff
and
then
finally,
look
at
any
types
of
organization
and
operations.
A
number
of
items
we
spoke
of
the
stakeholders
spoke
spoke
about
this
evening
about
our
transportation.
B
What
can
we
do
to
get
better
I
look
forward
to
diving
into
that
facet
of
our
organization
so
that
we
can
create
the
safe
environment
for
our
students.
These
six
areas
will
lead
my
body
of
work
in
the
first
100
days
and
I'll
have
a
plan.
Excuse
me
for
30
days,
60
days
and
100
days,
and
then
I
will
work
with
the
board
to
have
a
retreat
to
give
a
report
about
where
we,
you
know
what
my
findings
are
in
order
to
move
forward.
B
So,
ultimately,
the
outcome
for
the
elevate,
clay
and
the
mentality
of
it
is
to
look
at
key
findings,
observations
and
feedback
in
order
to
create
a
thoughtful
strategic
plan
that
would
drive
our
body
of
work
and
I
said
the
other
night.
In
my
my
listen
and
learn
tour,
which
is
my
chat
and
chill
new
chat
seals
I'm,
not
indirectly
I'm
held
accountable
every
four
years
to
the
community
members
in
Clay,
County
I'm
telling
you
that's
not
good
enough.
I
will
hold
myself
accountable
every
school
year.
B
This
is
my
accountability,
so
please
know
that
we
will
always
have
a
staircase
approach
to
success
and
everyone
in
this
room
and
the
community
will
know
how
successful
Addison
Davis
is
being,
but,
more
importantly,
how
about
how
successful
Clay
County
has
been,
and
the
other
side
is
make
sure
we
have
a
shared
vision
for
our
work
in
ways
we're
going
to
strengthen
it.
Look
at
everywhere.
My
steps
are
look
at
the
the
budget
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
healthy
financial
status
to
look
at
expanding
and
retaining
a
high
re
replaces
for
our
teachers.
B
What
we
can
do
to
incentivize
them,
leveraging
our
curriculum
to
obtain
results.
Looking
at
working
with
our
teachers
and
our
administrators
and
our
principals
to
have
master
schedule,
guidelines
and
every
grade
bands
that
are
intentional
for
our
kids
and
best
for
our
kids,
so
that
we
can
set
them
up
for
success
and
really
looking
at
middle
school
reform
based
on
data.
B
What
can
we
do
from
our
junior
high
perspective
to
really
help
our
junior
High's
be
successful,
because
that's
a
trying
time
for
our
stakeholders
and
for
our
kids
and
for
our
parents
as
well
as
they
deal
with
middle
schools
and
luckily
I
just
got
out
of
that
that
version
of
it?
But
it
always
stays
forever
because
it
sticks
with
you,
but
guess
where
our
kids
are
trying
to
figure
out
who
they
are
academically
emotionally
and
socially
and
behaviorally,
and
then
we'll
look
at
implement
in
a
survey.
B
A
survey
I'll
be
launching
a
cultural
index
survey
partnering
with
the
new
teacher
project
that
I've
worked
with
teachers
through
the
board
and
also
through
the
Union
to
make
certain
they
understand
what
we
need
to
look
at
and
cut
every
facet
of
our
school
system
so
that
we
can
prioritize
our
results
and
really
focus
on
our
culture
and
then
looking
at
a
data
warehouse
and
then
really
market.
Our
schools
in
order
to
be
successful,
it'll
be
a
number
of
phases
that
we
will
have
this
process.
B
That
I
said
30
60
90
days,
and
this
is
four
phases,
but
you'll
be
looping
along
the
way
about
how
we
accomplish
our
hundred
day
plan
and
move
forward.
The
way
we
shape
our
priorities
has
to
be
through
our
academic
services.
What
do
we
do
to
build
capacity
of
our
principals?
What
our
principals
accountable
for
learning
and
being
instructional
coaches
to
our
teachers?
What
do
we
do
to
really
be
talent,
managers
and
build
the
right
culture?
B
B
Sessions
would
be
throughout
the
county.
We
had
our
first
one
at
Oakley
senior
high
school.
Very,
thank
you
for
those
who
attended.
It
was
well
attended.
Thank
you
to
mr.
Pickett
for
opening
her
doors
and
our
next
one
will
be
at
Keystone,
Heights
junior
senior
high
school
on
January
10th.
When
we
return
it's
open
to
anyone
to
come,
sit
and
have
dialogue
with
me,
so
you
will
understand
my
vision
and
my
mish,
but
more
importantly,
I
will
understand
the
community.
B
E
Next
on
our
agenda
is
under
school
board.
Members
is
to
review
the
board's
letter
that
we
are
sending
to
the
Office
of
Inspector
General.
We
had
a
special
meeting
on
the
6th
of
December,
where
the
board
had
unanimously
decided
that
we
would
send
a
letter
asking
the
Office
of
Inspector
General
to
review
the
report
that
has
come
back
and
see
if
it
requires
further
investigation.
So
I
have,
as
the
chairman
I
took
everybody's
concerns
and
drafted
a
letter
and
I
brought
it
with
me
for,
for
you
to
see.
I
spoke
with
mr.
E
óscar
Restrepo
and
I
followed
his
instruction
on
what
to
put
in
this
letter.
He
said
just
do
the
timeline
paint
the
picture,
tell
the
story,
and
so
I've
I've
put
everything
in
here
for
the
board
to
review
and
I.
He
has
asked
that
mr.
Davis
that
we
overnight
this
report
and
letter
to
him
tomorrow,
yes.
B
E
Y
Miss
Kerr
kiss
my
understanding
from
our
workshop
was
that
your
letter
was
going
to
essentially
say
that
there
were
potentially
people
that
didn't
come
forward,
who
have
information
that
might
be
pertinent
to
the
investigation
and
just
to
simply
relay
that
message
to
the
inspector
general.
This
there's
a
lot
of
opinion
in
here
well
and
I.
I
feel
like
that.
This
is
not
what
we
discussed
at
her
well.
E
We
did
discuss
it.
I
think
we
were
in
agreement
that
it
wasn't
handled
correctly,
that
the
letter
that
was
sent
to
the
chairman
of
the
board
did
not
come
to
this
board
for
the
board
to
act
on
whether
or
not
we
investigate
internally
or
not.
The
former
chairman
instructed
the
former
superintendent
to
do
an
investigation.
This
is
all
facts.
That's
what's
in
this
letter,
and
this
is
what
mr.
Restrepo
asked
for
he
said.
I
want
the
facts
of
what
took
place,
so
it
is
maybe
a
little
more
lengthy
than
I
had
expected
it
to
be.
E
But
this
letter,
in
my
mind,
is
facts
of
what
took
place.
I
know
at
the
meeting
on
the
6th,
mrs.
bola,
miss
Condon
is
Studdard.
Myself
were
all
it
seemed
an
extreme
agreement.
You
did
agree
also,
although
you're
a
little
apprehensive
I
think
in
order
to
clear
the
good
name
of
the
Clay
County
School
District.
This
just
needs
to
be
addressed
by
someone
outside
and
mr.
Restrepo
said
they.
E
They
may
get
the
report
and
decide
they're
happy
with
it,
and
it
goes
no
further
and
I'm
fine
with
that,
but
they
may
get
it
and
say
you
know,
because
I
did
put
in
here
that
there
are
P,
have
gotten
phone
calls
I've,
gotten
them
from
people
who,
up
until
this
point
were
afraid
to
come
forward,
and
we
talked
about
whistleblower
protection
and
mr.
Sykes
sent
us
some
information
today
about
so
we're
aware
of
that.
There
is
whistle
prep
whistleblower
protection
out
there.
E
It's
a
little,
not
too
sure
about
the
language
there,
because
these
are
all
school
board,
local
employees
and
not
state
employees
and
the
language
that
was
in
that
reference
state
employees.
However,
I
think
that
this
letter
is
spot-on
and
I
feel
very
strongly
that
this
is
the
letter
that
we
should
be
sending
and
I'll
open
up
for
discussion
it's.
This
is
not
an
action
item.
This
we
have
consensus
that
we
were
sending
one,
of
course,
respectfully.
X
E
X
Y
E
Is
not
an
action
item?
We
discussed
this
at
a
special
meeting
at
the
special
meeting.
We
decided
we
were
sending
a
letter,
so
we
are
sending
a
letter
right.
You
can
oppose
what's
in
the
letter,
but
if
the
majority
of
the
board
through
consensus,
is
happy
with
the
letter,
then
this
is
what
we
will
send,
but
I
I'm
absolutely
open
to
making
changes
to
it.
You
know,
but
I
like
I,
said
I
feel
very
strongly
that.
Y
Y
E
Because
we're
elected
officials,
we
can't
bury
our
head
in
the
sand
and
just
expect
that
this
is
going
to
go
away.
We,
when
this
is
brought
to
our
attention,
we
have
a
responsibility
to
act
on
it.
We
can't
unhear
something.
So
if
we
don't
state
facts
so
that
he
has
a
clearer
picture
of
what
took
place
here
in
our
district
and
we
try
to
sugarcoat
it
then
we're
all
part
of
a
cover-up
and
we're
just
as
responsible
as
the
former
chairman
and
the
former
superintendent
who
I
feel
didn't,
handle
it
properly.
Y
With
all
due
respect,
though,
that's
your
opinion,
the
this
interpretation
of
what
went
down.
That's
your
your
interpretation
of
it
and
that's
not
necessarily
the
same
interpretation
I've
heard
from
district
staff
who
were
involved
in
this.
So
I
I
respectfully
disagree
with
you
just
that
in
the
fact
that
it's
not
just
the
facts,
it's
your
version
of
the
facts.
Z
Z
It's
great.
You
said
it's
my
belief
that
our
previous
school
board
I'll
that
sentence
is
fine
and
then
the
only
thing
I
would
have
an
issue
with
two
things
on
that
last
page.
One
is:
should
you
investigate
these
matters
further
school
board?
Members
can
provide
you
with
names
of
individuals
to
speak
with,
to
provide
further
insight,
I
think
to
in
order
to
protect
the
integrity
of
an
investigation.
Z
We
should
not
be
a
part
of
it
because
we
would
be
receiving
back
from
the
Inspector
General
any
findings,
and
so
I
think
for
any
of
us
to
be
directly
involved
could
be,
could
look
like
we
are
trying
to
affect
the
outcome
of
that
investigation,
so
I
that
sentence
kind
of
nags
at
me
and
then.
Secondly,
we,
the
members
of
the
Clay
County
school
board,
are
now
requesting
you
appoint
the
office
of
invest
inspector
general
to
conduct
an
independent
outside
investigation.
Z
We
talked
about
that
at
the
special
meeting
that
we
weren't
going
to
ask
them
to
do
that.
We
were
going
to
ask
them
to
review
the
report
and
should
they
feel
like
it
needed
further
investigation
that
they
do
that,
and
so
that
we
had
the
consensus
that
I
remember
from
the
special
meeting
was
that
we
weren't
going
to
ask
them
for
that.
Z
You
wanted
that,
but
then,
then,
as
the
discussion
unfolded
and
listening
to
all
of
our
discussion,
our
legal
counsel
and
we
even
had
input
from
the
CCE
a
on
that-
and
we
all
felt
like
we
should
say
it's,
not
our
investigation,
it's
the
Inspector
General's
if
they
feel
like
anything
more
should
it
occur.
So
those
are
the
two
things
that
that
I
take
issue
with
and
I
do.
Z
E
Z
K
E
Z
Think
what
you
said
first
is
exactly
accurate
of
the
December
sixth
meeting.
But
what
you're
saying
second
and
what's
in
this
letter,
isn't
what
we
were
talking
about
asking
we
were
asking
them
to
review
the
report
and
make
their
decision
based
on
that,
and
so
that's
what
I
would
be
comfortable
better
if
I
change
that
language
to.
D
Z
D
For
the
rest
of
you,
but
I
know
that
I
have
gotten
some
phone
calls
from
people
with
hands-on
knowledge
of
things
that
they
witnessed.
So
were
a
part
of
willingly
or
unwillingly.
I
felt,
like
the
report
was,
was
good,
I
mean
I
and
enjoyed
reading
it.
I
didn't
I
felt
like
sometimes
my
own
opinion
was
is
that
there
were
some
people
who
perhaps
were
hesitant
to
say
things,
because
they
were
fearful
for
their
job
and
nobody
wants
to
put
their
job
in
jeopardy.
I
don't
have
a
problem
at
all
with
ascending
this.
D
If
they
say
look,
it's
gone
far
enough.
Forget
it
girls
and
boys.
You
know,
let's
just
get
on
with
life.
I
can
live
with
that
and
so
forth,
but
I
still
feel
that
there
is
this
perception
out
there
that
it's
the
whole
truth.
Nothing,
but
the
truth
so
help
me
God,
it's
not
out
there
yet
and
I
just
want
to
put
this
baby
to
bed
and
get
it
over
with
so
I'm
all
for
sending
the
letter.
Let
them
look
at
it
if
they
deem
there's
nothing
else.
D
D
Z
A
E
You
be
more
comfortable
if
we
sent
this
letter
and
just
had
the
four
of
our
names
on
it
and
we'll
run
it
by
mrs.
bola
and
and
didn't
send
it
from
the
whole
board
and
had
it.
You
know:
Jana's
characters,
Carole,
stuttered,
Betsy,
Cohn
and
Mary
bola.
Would
you
be
more
comfortable
with
that?
I?
Don't
want
you
to
be
uncomfortable,
so
this
is
something
that
you're
gonna
have
I.
Y
E
And
actually
I
I
mean,
if
you
mrs.
starter,
how
do
you
feel
about
the
sentence
we,
the
members
of
the
plague
and
school
board
are
now
requesting
you
please
appoint
the
Office
of
Inspector
General
to
conduct
an
independent
outside
investigation
of
the
allegations
brought
forward.
I
can
change
that
to
say
continue.
The
investigation
I
would
use
a
reference
to
the
report.
D
AA
E
E
Y
You
can
just
interject
one
more
thing:
I
haven't
gotten
the
phone
calls
that
you
two
have
reported
that
you've
gotten
from
employees
that
felt
like
they
didn't
get
the
opportunity
to
speak.
I've
gotten
the
opposite
phone
calls
from
some
of
our
administrators
and
employees
who
feel
like
they've,
been
beaten
up
over
something
that
they
didn't
do
and.
Y
Wanting
to
move
on-
and
you
know
when
I
read
the
report-
it
wasn't
just
they
interviewed,
you
know
25
people,
they
also
looked
at
all
the
data
and
everything
that
was
considered
a
discrepancy.
They
went
to
the
student
files
and
everything
there
was
not
no
abnormalities
in
the
fight
and
the
paperwork
in
the
filing,
so
I
feel
like
it's
not
fair
to
say
that
they
didn't
do
a
thorough
investigation,
because
not
only
did
they
interview
25
plus
people,
they
also
looked
at
the
data
and
the
data
didn't
give
them
any
reason
to
suspect
anything.
Y
So,
in
my
opinion,
I'm
happy
to
accept
the
report,
as
is,
but
if
there
are
employees
which
I
have
not
spoken
to,
who
feel
like
their
voice
hasn't
been
heard,
then
I
understand
that
perspective
as
well.
So
I
just
wanted
you
to
understand
where
I'm
coming
from
and
let
you
know
that
I
understand
where
you're
coming
and.
D
Z
Do
also
want
to
reiterate
my
comments
from
the
special
meeting,
because
I
really
do
truly
feel
this
way.
I
really
believe
under
mr.
Davis's
leadership.
We're
not
going
to
have
any
of
this
going
forward
so
I'm,
not
not
that
I'm
not
concerned
about
what
could
have
happened
in
the
past
or
may
have
happened
or
may
not
have
happened
or
may
have
been
whatever
I
feel,
confident
and
comfortable
under
his
leadership
under
your
leadership
that
we're
going
to
not
having
a
problem.
I
agree.
E
B
Mean
the
the
biggest
thing
I
I
appreciate
you,
your
problem
solving
in
order
to
create
and
craft
a
letter
that
really
represents
the
entire
body.
I
will
say-
and
I
said
this
before
I'm
coming
into
the
into
the
movie
on
this.
From
from
my
side,
so
I
haven't
experienced
it.
But
for
me
it's
to
prom
for
me.
I
do
agree.
There
are
all
three
prongs.
I
do
agree
that
we
need
to
move
forward.
I,
think
because
we
have
to.
B
B
So
we
can
either
fix
or
validate
we're
doing
the
right
things
or
not
the
right
things
in
order
to
move
forward,
so
I'm
more
engaged
to
to
really
know
and
better
understand
where
we
are
as
an
organization
and
what
I
can
do
and
if
there's
any
incidents
that
we
may
need
to
be
able
to
problem-solve
with
within
this
department,
so
I'm
eager
to
learn
and
I
stand
by
the
board
to
whatever
decision
you
make
in
this,
because
you've
experienced
it
and
I
will
continue
to
work
along
both
sides
of
it.
Regardless
of
the
outcome.
Thank.
E
You
well
I
will
make
these
changes
and
I'll
get
delivered
to
you
tomorrow
for
you
to
send
off
so
since
that
was
just
a
discussion,
there's
nothing.
We
have
to
do
with
that.
The
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
c3
a
legislative
priorities.
I
pulled
this
after
discussing
it
with
miss
Korn
Ageha.
It
really
should
not
have
been
in
the
consent,
consent
agenda
and
she
has
a
list
of
here
kind
of
used
it
as
a
template.
You
know
I
think
we
need
to
get
it
down
to
probably
four
or
five
strong
bullet.
Mr.
Y
E
Fsb
a
did
this
year,
they
narrowed
it
down
to
just
three
and
really
you
hand
them
a
couple
of
pages
they're,
just
gonna
toss
it
and
look.
So
this
is
much
better
to
just
have
you
know
a
few
bullets,
so
I
think
that's
what
we
should
do.
So
maybe
what
we
should
do
is
send
mr.
Kornegay,
our
you
know
our
top
four
in
order
and
let
her
you
know
take
the
is.
Are
you
okay
with
that?
Mr.
Kornegay
and
mr.
Davis?

AC
My
name's
Keith
Nichols
and
the
address
is
on
the
card
and
before
I
get
started
with
this
I
just
want
to
say
we're
in
Italy
you're,
absolutely
right,
you're,
not
gonna,
be
common
core
here
at
the
local
and
it's
gonna
take
parents,
and
if
you
remember
a
couple
months
back
well
actually,
last
month,
all
he
has
to
do
is
say
we
got
a
busload
of
people,
he's
got
a
driver
so
when
we're
ready
to
go
Tallahassee.
Let
me
know,
sir,
what
I
want
to
bring
to
your
point
to
this
to
your
attention.
AC
Tonight
is
a
little
point
on
this
that
I've
been
talking
about
in
you
know,
Theresa
kind
of
brought
you
the
good
feelings
and
everything
and
I
kind
of
get
you've
got
to
give
you
the
bah
humbug
moment.
If
you
look
back
in
the
personal
consent
agenda,
you'll
notice
that,
for
your
support
staff,
you
lost
27
this
month
and
20
of
those
were
just
straight
resignations.
AC
AC
One
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
is
that
this
came
from
the
transportation
side
as
there's
people
thinking
that
you
know,
there's
a
rumor
going
out
there
that
privatized
privatization
I've
tried
to
squash
that
because
I've
never
heard
you
say
anything
about
that,
so
I
mean
if
you
could
come
out
on
that
mr.
Addison
make
it
make
it
where
people
know
100%
what
your
pitch
position
is
on
that
it
might
go
a
long
way
to
help
us
with
the
strengthening
our
numbers
again.
Thank
you.
Thank.
B
The
chair,
mr.
Nichols,
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up
and
I
will
tell
you.
There
is
no
desire
to
prioritize
I
am
dedicated
to
our
employees,
regardless
of
our
support
staff.
I'm
here
to
work
side
by
side
and
in
the
prom
saw
with
you
in
order
to
make
sure
we
retain
our
staff.
We've
got
to
be
clever
enough
to
put
retention
strategies
in
place
and
I
think
that's
the
foundation
of
culture
and
how
we
feel
and
interact
with
staff.
B
B
That
I
got
to
turn
around
and
go
pick
up
five
or
six
more
students,
because
either
we
don't
have
the
drivers
or
we
haven't,
really
been
strategic
about
how
we
create
the
routes
a
which
one
it
is
I'm
gonna
find
out
in
order
to
make
certain
that
we
can
service
our
kids
I
do
not
believe
our
kids
should
be
waiting
for
us
to
double
back
to
pick
them
up.
I!
Think
it's!
It's
not
it's
not
a
say.
B
It's
not
a
safe
environment
for
kids,
it's
not
fair
for
kids
and
it's
not
fair
for
parents
as
well,
but
I
will
tell
you.
There
is
some
inks,
because
through
the
coaching
realm,
we
have
teams
that
are
competing
at
a
state
and
local
level.
They
can't
get
enough
transportation
or
buses
in
order
to
get
them
to
their
competition,
so
they're,
either
dropping
out
or
they're
going
to
have
to
get
a
pre
go
to
prioritize
organization
to
get
the
the
routes.
B
On
top
of
that,
there's
angst
for
field
trips,
so
I'm
going
to
work
internally
to
make
certain
that
we
have
enough
staff
to
make
that
happen.
But
if
we
don't,
we
have
to
work
collectively
to
figure
out
now.
What
and
but
I
am
committed
to
our
staff
internally
I'm
committed
to
growing
our
staff
and
retain
our
staff
in
order
to
get
it
done
and
with
everything
that
we
have,
because
my
understanding
we
have
sufficient
number
of
buses,
we've
just
got
to
get
enough
people
committed
to
doing
this
work
and
then
support
them
in
doing
it.
AC
Can
make
one
suggestion
on
that?
Maybe
if
you
take
your
coaches
and
bring
them
over
and
let
them
get
CDL
certification
that
way
they
could
drive
some
of
the
spare
buses
and
that
would
free
them
up
and
have
the
time
and
I
mean
that
it
may
not
be
the
ideal.
You
know
resolution
to
it,
but
it
could
be
something
we
could
think
about
in
the
short
term
to
help
us
out
Thank.
