I
met
with
him
earlier
today
now
that
is
the
representative
for
his
area.
Here
didn't
want
to
step
over
oh
right
here,
representative
hodges,
so
I
got
to
meet
with
the
new
president
today
in
a
great
college
up
there
so
fantastic
and
there
we
go
there,
we
go.
Anyone
else
represent
carringer
you're
mike.
D
Thank
you
chairman
why
I
don't
want
to
take
a
lot
of
time,
but
I
would
like
to
ask
everyone
our
knox
county
clerk
and
sherry
witt,
her
chief
deputy,
michael
pashur,
young
man,
just
a
fabulous
person
passed
away
early
this
morning
was
diagnosed
middle
december
with
cancer
and
he
is
going
to
be
a
big
loss
for
knox
county,
and
I
just
ask
that
you
would
remember
our
knox
county
clerk's
office
in
knoxville
and
michael's
family.
He
has
a
a
son,
he
was
a
single
dad
and
he
was
just
a
phenomenal
person.
C
C
All
of
our
leads
give
us
the
wisdom
to
do
the
right
thing
and
work
with
them
and
bless
them
and
protect
them
each
day
that
they
are
in
school.
We
also
ask
you
to
be
at
the
family
of
michael
pashur,
as
represent
carringer
has
asked
us
and
be
at
the
family
and
during
this
time
of
their
loss
through
christ.
Let
me
pray,
amen.
C
Okay,
if
there's
no
other
business,
let's
go
ahead
and
begin.
Our
calendar
is
and
the
pr
before
that
we
have
a
presentation
chrissy,
I'm
sorry,
we
got
chrissy
alejandro,
make
sure
I
pronounce
that
right.
She's
come
on
up.
If
you
will
she's
with
tennessee
of
cheese,
I've
known
chrissy
for
many
many
years,
they
do
a
great
work
with
tennessee
achieves,
which
is
where
tennessee
promise
grew
out
of.
Is
that
correct?
G
G
C
G
We
go
fantastic
chrissie
de
alejandro
executive
director
of
tennessee
achieves
thrilled
to
be
with
you
this
afternoon.
Thanks
to
chairman
white,
I
just
wanted
to
open
to
say
that,
thanks
to
many
of
you
in
this
room,
tennessee
promise
is
a
household
name.
You
you
can't
get
in
a
cab
or
in
an
uber
or
go
to
the
grocery
store.
Without
someone
talking
about
tennessee
promise
and
in
my
mind
that
represents
a
culture
shift
in
tennessee,
where
we
really
think
about
post-secondary
credentials
in
a
new
and
different
way.
G
But
perhaps
you
have
not
heard
of
tennessee
achieves
and,
as
the
chairman
said,
we
were
the
model
for
the
tennessee
promise
launched
in
knox
county
in
2008
as
a
privately
funded
last
dollar
scholarship
and
mentoring
program.
I
thought
I
would
walk
you
through
some
of
our
statistics.
You
may
not
know,
but
we
probably
represent
your
county.
We
represent
90
counties
across
the
state
of
tennessee.
In
fact,
89.4
percent
of
high
school
seniors
are
served
by
our
program
every
year
they
come
to
our
program
as
high
school
seniors.
G
We
provide
them
with
assistance
to
complete
that
free
application
for
federal
student
aid
or
the
fafsa.
We
ensure
that
they
have
a
volunteer
mentor.
Someone
locally
many
of
you
in
here
I
know
the
chairman
has
mentored.
Many
of
you
have
mentored
in
the
past,
and
so
thinking
about
the
the
work
of
tennessee
achieves
is
really
the
work
of
of
high
school
seniors
all
the
way
into
the
workforce.
G
G
You
can
see
here
again
90
counties,
74
of
those
counties,
rural
35,
distressed
counties,
we're
working
in
the
urban
cores,
we're
also
reaching
out
to
counties
like
lake
county
where
we've
existed
for
the
last
decade.
As
I
said,
the
work
began
for
us
in
2008,
but
prior
to
the
launch
of
tennessee
promise,
we
did
exist
in
27
of
tennessee's
95
counties.
G
I
think
the
most
important
piece
are:
how
are
we
doing
with
students
I'm
going
to
talk
a
bit
about
how
we're
getting
these
numbers,
but
I
think
it's
incredibly
important
to
think
about
the
progress
and
growth
that
we're
seeing
in
the
post-secondary
space
over
the
last
13
years.
You
can
see
here
just
a
benchmark.
G
A
student
who
attends
a
community
college,
first-time
full-time
freshman,
are
retaining
at
about
53
percent
students
in
our
program
that
attend
a
community
college
are
retaining
first-year
retention
so
that
fall
to
fall
retention
rate
at
67
percent
students
coming
through
our
program
going
anywhere
are
retaining
at
74
percent.
You
can
also
see
that
all-important.
Graduation
rate.
I
could
talk
about
the
the
fact
that
our
college
going
rate
in
the
state
rose
5.
The
year
tennessee
promise
was
introduced
in
counties
like
mcmahon.
It
was
seven
percent
and
counties
like
murray.
G
It
was
11
percent,
but
across
the
state
we
saw
a
5
jump,
but
I
think
the
most
important
measure
is
how
we're
doing
with
college
completion,
and
you
can
see
students
who
are
completing
our
program
have
a
51
graduation
rate.
I
am
not
pleased
with
51,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
we've
made
significant
progress
since
I
assumed
this
role
in
2008.
G
again:
fafsa
we're
in
the
thick
of
fafsa
completion
across
the
state.
Many
of
our
k-12
school
counselors
and
administrators
are
continuing
to
push
the
last
year.
We
hit
a
90
fafsa
completion
rate.
Most
states
don't
hit
50
percent.
So
thinking
about
the
fact
that
our
state
leads
the
country
every
year
is
incredibly
impressive.
Every
student
has
the
opportunity
to
earn
a
credential.
G
I'll.
Also
tell
you
that
one
of
the
pillars
of
our
program
and
now
requirement
for
tennessee
promise
is
eight
hours
of
community
service.
Again
this
idea
of
cultivating
a
culture
of
giving
back
with
our
students.
This
is
not
free
college.
The
students
do
have
some
skin
in
the
game.
To
date,
our
students
have
given
back
nearly
three
million
hours
of
community
service
and
that
work
continues.
Today.
G
You
may
know
us
for
our
volunteer
mentoring
program
when
we
talk
about
tennessee
achieves.
I
often
hear
patrick
who
works
with
the
committee,
just
that
I
mentored
for
two
years
in
nashville,
and
so
over
the
years
we've
recruited
nearly
72
000
volunteers,
to
work
alongside
our
students.
These
students
provide
encouragement.
G
They
provide
a
needed
resource
as
they
serve
as
a
needed
resource
to
students.
Answering
questions
like
what's
a
semester.
What's
a
bursar
right,
if
you're
the
first
in
your
family
to
go
to
college,
no
one
knows
what
a
bursar
is
right,
and
so
they
are
there
to
answer
these
very
important
questions.
I
often
hear-
and
I
was
just
on
a
call
today-
about
the
linkage
between
k-12
and
post-secondary
and
workforce.
G
G
The
idea
here
is
for
students
who
require
remediation
and
when
we
started
this
journey,
that
was
80
percent
of
our
students,
who
required
some
form
of
remediation
that
they
would
have
instruction
at
the
college
over
the
course
of
the
three
weeks
to
test
out
of
remediation
and
find
themselves
more
prepared
for
college-level
work.
You
just
held
a
session
on
learning
loss.
I
am
very
fearful
of
what
learning
loss
will
look
like
for
this
group
of
high
school
seniors
that
will
graduate
in
may,
and
so
we
continue
to
provide
this
important
support
to
our
students.
G
You
can
see.
86
counties
have
been
represented
in
our
summer
bridge
programs
with
nearly
5
000
students
served
and
then,
most
importantly,
a
34
increase
in
retention
for
the
students
who
participate
in
the
program.
I
always
sort
of
give
this
number
in
terms
of
communication.
We
are.
It
is
a
large
operation,
nearly
60
000
students
come
through
our
program
every
year
and
are
served
by
my
team
and
the
mentors
that
walk
alongside
us.
So
three
million
text
messages
coming
from
our
shop
and
that's
targeted
text
messages
meant
to
nudge,
successful
student
behaviors.
G
We
also
coach
students
thanks
to
the
state
of
tennessee.
We
have
some
funds
earmarked
to
serve
14
percent
of
tennessee
promise.
Students
is
14
enough.
I
would
say
absolutely
not.
I
think
coaching
and
supports
really
matter.
I
do
think
it's
the
game,
changer
and
difference
maker.
We
are
seeing
particularly
for
our
most
vulnerable
student
populations.
G
I'd
be
happy
to
update
you
on
that
success.
We
also
are
operating
a
pilot
program
called
knox
promise.
Thanks
to
the
haslam
family
foundation,
we
like
to
be
innovative
and
disruptive
at
tennessee
achieves.
We
started
off
as
an
idea
on
a
whiteboard
that
now
has
been
taken
to
every
student
across
the
state
and
we're
hoping
that
knox
promise
provides
students
across
the
state
with
similar
support
soon,
so
we've
developed
a
model
that
really
builds
off
the
foundation
of
tennessee
promise
but
allows
every
student
in
knox
county
to
receive
additional
layers
of
support.
G
So
it's
not
only
the
most
vulnerable
student,
much
like
the
state
sees
with
the
coaching
model,
but
every
student
in
knox
county
who
pursues
tennessee
promise
is
assigned
a
dedicated
coach.
That
coach
is
walking
alongside
the
student
from
the
high
school
senior
year
through
a
career,
so
we're
making
sure
that
every
hurdle
is
knocked
down.
G
It's
a
proactive
coaching,
we're
not
waiting
for
the
student
to
come
to
us
we're
going
to
the
student
meeting
with
the
students
on
college
campuses
right
now,
we're
doing
all
sorts
of
zooming
and
face
timing
with
the
students,
but
we're
making
sure
these
students
are
staying
on
track.
You
can
see
here
we're
also
offering
what
we
refer
to
as
completion
grants,
also
known
as
emergency
grant
funding.
This
provides
transportation
for
students
who
lack
it
books
for
students
who
actually
don't
cannot
afford
books.
G
I
will
tell
you
that
we
hear
time
and
again
that
the
supplies
of
the
tcat
are
500
or
the
books
at
the
college
or
500
plus
dollars,
and
so
this
eliminates
that
burden
for
our
students.
It's
an
up
to
fifteen
hundred
dollar
grant
for
the
students
under
the
knox
promise
umbrella.
But
you
can
see
here.
The
average
is
about
three
hundred
and
ten
dollars.
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
what
this
retention
looks
like
for
students
who
receive
a
completion
grant.
G
Grants
as
verified
by
the
boyd
foundation
at
the
university
of
tennessee
are
retaining
at
78
78
versus
a
53
percent
retention
rate,
so
game
changing
in
my
mind
and
something
that
we
really
need
to
think
about
as
we
continue
to
serve
students
across
our
state
and
before
I
open
it
up
to
any
questions
that
you
have,
I
would
be
remiss.
I
talk
a
lot
about
numbers,
I'm
sort
of
a
data
nerd
and
I'm
excited
always
to
think
about
how
tennessee
achieves
can
be
making
a
dent
in
the
universe.
G
I
wake
up
every
day
and
think
about
how
we
can
better
serve
our
students,
and
this
is
a
great
representation
of
our
students.
Students
going
to
technical
college
right.
Tennessee
promise
really
changed
that
technical
college
game
before.
If
you
remember
it
was
the
tennessee
technology
centers
right
and
now,
we've
really
brought
them
into
the
fold
and
said
this
is
a
post-secondary
credential
and
you
can
have
a
really
life-sustaining
career
attending
the
technical
college,
so
heightening
awareness
and
then
our
students
across
the
board,
I
think,
are
so
thankful.
C
F
G
F
G
A
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you
for
coming
today.
I'm
sure
you've
been
paying
attention
to
this
committee
on
completion
grants
and
our
efforts
that
we're
trying
to
partner
with
you
and
other
groups
to
drive
even
more
students
across
the
finish
line,
the
the
numbers
that
you
give
us
when
you
have
the
intervention
and
the
completion
grants,
hopefully
will
drive
us
to
being
number
one
in
in
in
promise
graduation
rate,
and
I
think
it
will
get
us
there.
A
Another
thing
that
we're
pretty
concerned
about
is
remedial
course
work
on.
How
that
can
you
give
us
some
information
on
how
that
is
detrimental
with
delaying
the
amount
of
time
that
it
takes
for
a
student
to
get
their
certificate
or
get
through
college,
adding
more
time
and
more
pressure
and
any
thoughts
on
how
we
can
reduce
that
rate
with
you
know:
we're
posting
a
90-something
percent
graduation
rate
in
high
school
it,
but
that's
not
translating
into
being
able
to
do
the
college
coursework.
So
your
thoughts
on
that.
G
G
I
will
tell
you
that
for
students
who
who
don't
come
through
a
program
and
who
do
require
remediation
oftentimes,
they
don't
make
it
through
their
first
semester.
It's
incredibly
frustrating
to
be
in
college
and
not
be
in
college
level
coursework,
and
so
what
we
see
is
that
retention
rate
is
much
lower
than
their
peers,
but
the
graduation
rate
actually
just
falls
off
a
cliff.
I've
seen
completion
rates
as
low
as
five
percent
and
that's
been
a
few
years
ago.
G
So
you
may
need
to
fact
check
me
there,
but
I
do
know
that
their
rate
of
completion
is
is
fairly
abysmal,
but
if
we
can
provide
targeted,
personalized
interventions
for
those
students
out,
we
could
talk
about
what
needs
to
happen
in
the
k-12
space.
But
in
that
summer,
that
really
critical
summer
between
high
school
senior
year
and
that
freshman
first
semester,
a
lot
of
work
can
be
done
to
eliminate
that
need
for
remediation.
G
We
piloted
a
program
gosh
four
years
ago
now
at
southwest
tennessee
community
college,
and
we
took
the
three-week
program
and
actually
made
it
10-week
and
provided
transportation.
We
eliminated
food
insecurity
by
providing
lunch
every
day,
and
what
we
found
is
that
72
percent
of
the
participants
were
pell
eligible,
meaning
coming
from
a
low
income
background.
G
100
percent
were
identified
as
a
minority
student
and
we
had
a
hundred
percent
success
rate.
So
every
student
who
entered
that
program
not
only
eliminated
remediation
because
of
the
co-requisite
model
that
you
all
brought
to
the
table.
They
also
had
nine
credit
hours
under
their
belt
so
ahead
of
their
peers.
So
it's
programs
like
that.
That
really
do
work.
And
again
I
go
back
to
this.
But
we
have
a
saying
that
tennessee
achieves
is
that
meet
every
student
where
they
are
at
scale,
and
I
believe
that
we
can
do
that.
D
C
I'm
gonna
say:
chrissy
stood
these
five
syllable
words.
I
get
tongue
tied
real,
quick,
mr
alejandro,
you
mentioned
this
disruption
a
while
ago
and
with
the
disruption
we've
seen
the
past
year.
I
know
you
mentioned
this
in
your
comments.
What
are
we
seeing?
Are
we
seeing
anything
new
on
the
horizon,
with
the
disruption
of
so
many
students
in
virtual,
coming
out
of
a
high
school.
G
It's
a
great
question:
I
will
tell
you
chairman
that
students
do
feel
a
bit
more
disengaged
than
we've.
Seen
in
the
past.
We've
launched
a
campaign
at
tennessee
achieves
called
find
your.
Why
and
so
we're
utilizing
the
2020
class
so
use
using
student
voice,
so
students
who
are
in
the
midst
of
a
global
pandemic,
who
went
to
college
anyway,
who
persevered
and
we're
using
their
voice
to
try
to
inform
how
we
work
with
the
2021
cohort.
G
The
really
lovely
part
is
that
we
work
with
90
000
students
every
year,
and
so
we
can
ask
them
what
they
need,
and
so
that's
how
we're
trying
to
avoid
what
feels
like
could
be
across
the
country,
an
educational
disaster.
This
fall,
if
we're
not
creative
and
innovative
and
again
trying
to
meet
those
students
where
they
are
and
ignite
what
I
always
say
to
students
ignite
that
fire
in
their
belly,
helping
them
find
the
motivation
and
also
promising
that
there
will
be
something
on
the
other
end.
G
I
think
that
workforce
development,
economic
development
side
is
critical,
so
that
students
feel
that
that
it's
a
tangible
journey
that
they'll
come
out
on
the
other
side.
Better
than
where
they
are
but
yeah,
they
do
feel
a
little
more
distant.
It's
taking
a
bit
more
to
reach
them
we're
calling
their
mamas
we're
trying
to
hunt
them
down
as
best
we
can-
and
I
think
we'll
get
there,
but
it
will
not
be
without
some
very
intentional
work.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
miss
chair
for
bringing
that
point
up
and
and
and
chrissy.
Thank
you
again
is.
Is
there
a
way?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
take
advantage
of
the
experience
that
these
students
have
gotten
in
surviving
number
one
they're
survivors
and
surviving
the
pandemic,
and
I
think
I
think
that
we
should
recognize
them
as
survivors.
They
are
survivors.
F
I
guess
we
all
are
so
far
anyway,
but
how
do
we
take
advantage
of
the
experience
of
being
virtual
and
and
marry
that,
to
you
know
the
physical
presence
of
the
students
in
school
and
build
on
their
virtual
experience?
Also,
because
I
think
I
I
want
to-
I
want
to
make
sure
that
before
we,
you
know,
go
down
the
road
of
condemning
virtual,
not
saying
that
you're
doing
that
or
anybody
else
so
to
speak,
apparently
somebody's
doing
it.
F
If
I
thought
about
it,
but
before
we
go
down
that
road
of
condemning
virtual
or
sin,
is
you
know
it's
all
bad?
How
do
we
take
that?
Because
we
know
that,
whether
it's
10
years
20
years
30
years,
some
point
we're
going
to
be
virtual
right,
and
so
how
do
we
build
on
that
experience
that
these
students
have
have
received
and
and
and
if,
if
we're
going
to
be
virtual
at
some
point,
then
at
least
I
want
to
be
number
one
in
being
virtual.
G
Absolutely
well,
I
would
say,
for
some
students
they
would
prefer
it
right.
I
mean,
I
think
it
does
really
work
for
some
students,
but
I
would
argue,
after
being
in
this
work
for
nearly
15
years.
Some
students
need
additional
layers
of
support
that
virtual
simply
at
this
time
cannot
provide,
and
so,
when
I
say
it
makes
me
nervous,
what
makes
me
nervous
is
about
that
student.
Who
is
completely
disengaged
right.
The
teachers
can't
find
them.
We
can't
identify
them,
we're
not
seeing
them
apply
for
tennessee
promise,
they're
not
engaged
in
the
fafsa
filing
process.
G
Those
are
the
students
that
I'm
concerned
about,
and
I
will
tell
you
representative.
What
I
think
needs
to
happen
is
we're
on
a
reactive
course
at
this
point
right,
we're
just
reacting
to
everything
that's
being
thrown
at
us,
and
god
bless
all
our
teachers
right.
But
in
my
mind,
if
we
came
up
with
a
proactive
strategy
and
again
sort
of
meeting
each
student
where
they
are
and
identifying
where
we've
been
broken
down
along
the
way,
I
do
think
that
we
could
have
a
really
successful
virtual
experience
for
some
students.
F
F
F
Aren't
we
guys
right,
but
it
may
be
a
situation
of
conditioning
you
know
if
we,
if
all
we
know
is
physically
being
in
the
classroom
and
and
and
and
our
conditioning
has
has
made
it
so
that
this
is
what
we
respond
to
then
maybe
we
need
to
be
intentional
from
a
policy
standpoint
also
in
in
taking
that
this
virtual
experience
and
building
on
it,
so
that
our
condition
doesn't
only
reflect
the
being
in
the
physical
classroom,
but
we
thrive
in
a
virtual
space.
Also.
G
Absolutely
well,
you
think
about
the
non-traditional
student.
The
adult,
like
the
adult,
is
probably
thriving
in
the
post-secondary
space
in
a
virtual
setting
right
they
can
work,
they
can
raise
their
children
right
a
whole
different
conversation
and
for
your
student
it
sounds
fantastic.
I
do
know
for
some
students.
They
will
need
more.
C
G
C
C
You
members
we're
going
to
jump
into
our
calendar.
I've
promised
chairman
hasten
we'd,
be
out
by
five
and
so
we're
we're
going
to
have
all
the
discussion
we
need,
but
the
bills
on
the
calendar
start
with
number
one
house
bill
770
by
representative
alexander
you're
recognized.
We
got
a
motion
in
a
second
on
the
bill.
H
H
H
This
bill
will
authorizes
and
clarifies
definitions
to
specify
school
personnel
authorized
to
use
isolation
or
physical,
holding
restraint
and
ensure
consistent
use
of
language.
Throughout
the
statute,
the
department
has
received
feedback
from
the
leas
that
emphasize
the
need
for
clarification
of
statutory
language
around
isolation
and
restraint.
I
will
be
happy
to
read
those
different
revisions
to
you.
If
you
would
like
does.
C
I
C
I
What
this
is
is
it
was
brought
to
me
by
some
of
my
military
families,
and
so
when
they,
when
a
soldier
pcs,
is
from
fort
hood,
for
instance,
to
fort
campbell
and
they
come
here.
You
know
they
have
to
leave.
They
have
to
pull
their
kids
out
of
school
in
in
texas.
They
come
here.
They
try
to
enroll
their
kids
in
school
and
they're
told
they
need
immunization
record
from
tennessee.
B
A
A
B
C
C
4565
to
house
bill
454
and
it
came
to
saying
aye
opposed
guys,
have
it
you're
now
properly
amended
you're.
Now
back
on
the
bill,
the
question's
been
called
on
the
bill,
any
objection,
hearing
nine,
all
those
in
favor
moving
four
five
four
understand
it's
going
to
health
committee
and
the
cape
is
saying:
aye
opposed
the
eye
is
habit
moves
out
to
health
committee
item
three
house
bill
497
by
chairman
rudd.
H
This
bill
was
bought
by
local
bus
owners
as
well
as
leas
have
contacted
me
thanking
me
for
carrying
it.
This
is
to
extend
the
negotiating
period
for
privately
owned
buses
with
school
systems
from
four
years
to
six
years.
This
helps
with
financing
and
it
makes
the
process
a
lot
easier.
It
also
want
to
stress
the
in
extending
this
negotiating
period
for
renewing
bus
contracts.
H
C
With
that
explanation,
members
questions
comments,
questions
been
called
on
the
bill,
objection
hearing,
none
all
those
in
favor
moving
house
bill,
497
out
to
calendar
rules
indicating
saying
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
moves
out.
Thank
you
brings
us
to
item
number
four
house
bill.
225
is
chairman
vaughn
in
the
room.
C
E
This
would
only
deal
with
students
that
have
been
expelled
or
suspended
for
10
or
more
days,
and
only
when
there's
acts
of
violence
or
threats
of
violence-
and
you
know
the
obvious
problem-
is
someone's
in
school,
they've
threatened
a
teacher
or
engaged
in
some
act
of
violence
against
a
teacher
or
student.
The
alternative
school
is
on
same
campus,
so
you're
just
telling
them
hey.
You
know
you've
done
this
action.
We're
going
to
take
you
from
this
room
across
the
hall
to
another
room
doesn't
make
sense
when
the
alternative
school
is
on
that
same
campus.
E
F
Partisan,
thank
you,
mr
I'm,
not
trying
to
speak
on
every
bill,
but
you
know
you
got
some
good
stuff
coming
through
today
and
and
to
my
my
colleague
from
shelby
county.
Thank
you
for
bringing
the
legislation
out.
It
was.
It
was
me
that
passed
the
alternative
bill
alternative
school
bill
a
couple
of
years
ago,
and
I
think
this
is
a
good
addition
to
it,
especially
when
we're
dealing
with
something
that
could
cause
safety
in
the
school
to
come
into
jeopardy.
F
J
C
K
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
I'd
like
to
say
happy
birthday
to
the
chairman
and
the
sub-chair
mr
chair
hastings
over
here.
So
happy
birthday,
dion
house
bill
235
increases
from
10
000
to
25
000,
the
threshold
for
which
a
local
board
of
education
or
governing
body
of
a
public
charter
school
must
take
purchases
or
expenditures
by
competitive
bids.
C
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
explanation.
Just
for
the
record,
I
want
to
get
this
on
the
record.
I
have
been
brought
by
attention
and
I'd
like
to,
if
you
explain
we're
going
from
10
to
25,
and
some
people
express
consideration
that
with
the
federal
stimulus
money
coming
in
and
we
have
25
thousandths
to
10
for
accountability,
could
you
just
address
that
for
the
record.
K
I
C
C
C
B
Chairman,
thank
you
committee.
This
is
the
discount
bill.
I
think
I've
made
contact
with
about
everybody
on
the
committee,
so
I
won't
go
into
great
detail
what
this
does.
Is
it
grandfathers
in
all
the
discounts
we
have
in
place
for
higher
education
at
this
time,
and
it
makes
it
from
this
point
forward
if
a
representative
or
senator
brings
a
a
bill
that
provides
a
discount
for
higher
education,
it
requires
them
to
find
the
money
within
the
budget
themselves,
instead
of
passing
it
off
on
finance
ways
and
means.
C
Thank
you
very
much
chairman
crawford.
I'm
in
support
of
this
we've
addressed
this
many
years,
there's
a
lot
of
good
feel-good
bills
and
a
lot
of
things
we
want
to
do,
but
we've
done
this
to
the
tune
of
costing
our
universities
about
20
million
a
year
that
they
have
to
eat
the
cost
of
to
this
point,
so
I
I
know
higher
education
is
supportive
of
you
represent
partisan.
F
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
This
is
a
good
bill
representative
and
I
want
to
sign
on
to
it.
I
remember
you
came
in
and
explained
it
to
me.
You
know,
and
you
know,
because
we've
been
passing
unfunded
mandates
basically
to
our
institutions
of
higher
education,
and
so
this
will
help
with
that
and
thank
you
for
bringing
it.
Thank
you.
Please,
give
us
a
sign
on
sheet.
If
you
don't
mind
having
democrats
on
your
bill.
C
C

D
D
Additionally,
section
one
includes
specific
language
that
supports
military
spouses
seeking
reciprocal
licensor
in
tennessee
section
one
only
applies
to
licensure
applications
effective
on
or
after
july,
1
2021.,
then
section
2
permits
educators,
who
did
not
receive
an
evaluation
score,
or
only
received
one
evaluation
score
within
the
last
two
years
to
replace
these
missing
evaluation
scores
with
either
one
the
most
recent
evaluation
score.
That
is
available
or
two
a
recommendation
from
the
director
of
schools
regarding
the
educators,
evaluations
regarding
the
educators,
evaluation,
score
and
also
section
two
is
effective
upon
becoming
law.
D
Section
three
gives
the
state
board
of
education,
the
authority
to
promulgate
the
rules
for
this
legislation
and
section
three
is
also
effective
upon
becoming
law.
That's
very
important:
we've
got
teachers
in
a
bubble
who
are
waiting
to
get
in
front
of
our
children
and
by
passage
of
this
bill,
tennessee
will
have
more
incentive
will
be
an
incentive
to
bring
teachers
into
our
state,
and
so
there
you
have
it.
Let's
get
her
done.
Let's
get
the
teachers
across
the
state
line
and
and
get
them
in
front
of
our
kids.
C
Thank
you,
chairman
weaver.
We've
had
a
question
on
the
amendment.
Any
objection
to
that
hearing.
None
all
those
in
favor
are
adding
amendment
4094
to
house
bill
533
indicators
saying
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
we're
now
back
on
your
bill,
isn't
is
properly
amended.
There's
been
a
question
on
the
bail
any
bill,
any
objection
hearing
none.
I
was
in
favor
moving
house
bill,
533
out
to
government
operations
and,
it
came
to
say,
aye
opposed
moves
out.
C
C
B
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
members,
honored
to
bring
before
you
house
bill.
537,
that's
going
to
allow
us
to
improve
the
ratio
of
funding
for
nurses
in
the
bep
formula.
We
have
been
working
on
this.
The
chairman
and
myself
and
others
have
been
working
on
this
issue
for
several
years
now.
We've
had
several
folks
on
this
committee
who
have
worked
on
this
issue
introduced
bills
with
the
ratio
we're
going
with
the
ratio
that
we
feel
is
most
comfortable
and
most
appropriate
for
school
districts.
C
Thank
you
chairman
members,
if
anyone's
wondering
why
we're
moving
so
swiftly,
we
give
credit
to
chairman.
Hasten
these
all
went
through
subcommittee,
and
we
vetted
these
very,
very
well
chairman
heston,
so
we're
we're
on
a
roll
item
number
10
house
bill.
20.
Excuse
me
house,
bill
212
by
revising
clemens
you're
recognized,
got
a
motion.
Second
you're
recognized.
L
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
this
is
my
stop:
the
blade
legislation
it
got
held
up
last
year
because
of
the
pandemic
after
it
moved
through
the
committees,
but
this
authorizes
lease
to
develop
and
implement
a
stop-lo-bleed
program
in
consultation
with
local
law
enforcement.
That's
brought
to
me
by
the
college
of
trauma,
surgeons
in
vanderbilt
medical
center
and
other
trauma
surgeons
across
the
state
of
tennessee.
M
Thank
you,
chairman
white
and
representative
clemens.
I
I
consider
you
to
be
a
very
knowledgeable
attorney,
and
so
I
hope
you'll
bear
with
me.
While
I
ask
you
a
few
questions,
legal
questions
about
your
bill,
just
because
I
want
to
learn
from
you,
the
leas
and
the
schools
and
the
lea
employees
in
your
bill
would
be
given
civil
immunity.
M
L
Well,
negligence
is
a
person
acting
reasonable
under
the
circumstances
of
any
other,
given
situation
or
similar
same
or
similar
circumstances.
It's
a
subjective
analysis
of
a
action
by
someone
and
it's
a
component
of
proving
a
case
for
negligence.
So
the
standard
is
generally.
Would
you
act
that
way
under
normal
certain
similar
circumstances?
Gross
negligence
is
a
heightened
standard
where,
if
they
purposefully
tied
a
tourniquet
on
the
wrong
leg,
then
you're
looking
at
someone
who's
being
reckless
or
grossly
negligent.
In
a
case,
the
code
as
it
exists
in
these
instances
of
life-saving
maneuvers
is
throughout.
L
The
code
is
consistent
on
creating
this
type
of
burden.
So
if
someone
is
acting
in
good
faith
or
as
a
good
samaritan,
so
to
speak
throughout
the
code,
they
are
protected,
acting
as
a
citizen
rather
than
you
know,
if
they
were
grossly
negligent
or
purposefully,
did
something
to
harm
someone.
That's
the
difference
and.
M
Thank
you
for
that
information
and
who
would
make
the
decision
on
whether
the
actions
are
grossly
negligent
versus
not
negligent
or
simply
negligent
a
finder
of
fact,
the
court,
the
jury
and
then
my
last
question
is
what,
if
the
teacher
is,
is
just
simply
negligent.
Maybe
they
should
have
gone
through
training
and
they
missed
their
training.
L
No,
it
doesn't
keep
them
from
having
if
they
thought
that
a
someone
acted
inappropriately
purposefully,
which
I
don't
think
any
teacher
is
going
to
purposefully,
put
a
tourniquet
on
the
wrong
leg
or
respond
inappropriately
in
a
life-saving
emergency,
to
stop
a
traumatic
bleeding
incident
that
individual.
Could
you
know
if
they
so
chose
bring
a
case,
but
I,
I
suspect
it
would
be
summarily
dismissed
in
pre-trial
motions,
whether
it
be
rule
12
or
rule
56.
L

Well,
thank
you
very
much.
Anyone
else
have
a
question
of
the
sponsor
questions
been
called
for
on
the
bill.
We're
on
house
bill
212.,
any
objections
to
the
question
hearing.
None
all
those
in
favor
moving
house
bill,
212
out
to
finance
ways
of
means
indicated
saying:
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it.
Thank
you
members.
I
know
I
rolled
this
to
the
hill,
but
if
you
would
you
allow
me
to
come
back
to
four
for
chairman
vaughn,
he
he
is
the.
B
The
amendment
allowed,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
appreciate
the
hard
work
this
fine
group
of
folks
are
doing
here
at
this
late
hour.
So
true
public
servants,
if
I've
ever
seen
a
group,
but
what
the
amendment
does.
It
allows
the
school
board
and
the
lea
to
designate
their
superintendent,
which
is
the
their
sole
employee,
to
make
the
decisions
with
to
to
convey
and
make
the
decisions
regarding
school
closures.
C
B
C
A
Picky,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
chairman
vaughn.
We've
had
a
long
relationship
here
with
your
legislation
that
you
bring
before
education
committee,
and
sometimes
some
of
your
legislation
is
very
suspect
when
you
bring
it
here,
but
this
one
is
one
of
your
better
pieces
of
legislation
so
continue
to
good
work.
Sir.
Thank
you.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
to
the
sponsor.
I
noted
that
you,
you
have
specifically
excluded
certain
people
in
this
decision
making
if
there
is
a
conflict
in
the
law
on
the
decision
as
in
currently,
we
have
some
independent
health
boards
in
our
state
that
by
law-
and
some
would
argue
this
an
improperly
worded
law,
but
nonetheless
it's
there.
That
would
have
the
authority
to
supersede
this.
How
do
you
resolve
that
conflict.
B
C
J
B
Sir,
but
but
allow
me
to
say
this
is
that,
even
in
those
cases
the
local
health
department
would
still
have
control,
they
could
shut
down
the
cafeteria
because
they
regulate
the
cafeteria,
so
the
lea
would
have
to
make
a
min
come
up
with
a
corresponding
plan
to
do
that,
so
we're
not
we're
not
taking
the
health
departments
out
of
the
equation,
but
we
are
taking
them
out
of
the
equation
of
whether
or
not
school
children
are
attending
classes.
Thank
you,
mr
sponsor.
F
F
C
Thank
you
further
discussion
on
house
bill,
225
interjections.
The
question
here
done
all
those
in
favor
moving
it
out
to
calendar
rules
and
it
keeps
saying
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
moves
out.
Thank
you
all
very
much.
We'll
go
now
to
back
to
item
11
representative
gillespie.
You
may
present
from
your
seat
if
you
prefer.
I
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Sorry
about
that.
So
what
this
bill
address
says.
T
heck
currently
provides
a
number
of
reports
throughout
the
course
of
the
year
and
there
are
a
couple
of
reports
that
they
do,
that
the
data
they
get
is
from
the
prior
year,
and
so
the
report
is
not
very
accurate.
It's
basically
a
year
out
of
date
at
the
time
of
publication,
and
this
is
just
addressing
that
issue.
I
am
more
than
happy
to
go
into
more
detail
of
the
specific
reports,
but
it's
pretty
self-explanatory.
C
I
hear
none
objection
to
the
question.
Questions
been
called
so
all
those
in
favor
moving
house
bill,
763
out
to
calendar
and
rules,
and
it
came
by
saying
aye
opposed
moves
out.
Item
12
house
bill
713
by
representative,
hurt
you're
recognized.
You
got
a
motion
in
a
second
on
the
bill,
but
you
also
have
an
amendment.
N
C
N
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
house
bill
713.
We've
we've
visited
this
for
a
little
a
couple
of
years
now,
but
hopefully
we'll
we'll
get
it
on
through
house
bill.
713
addresses
bep
funding
following
students
that,
because
of
a
student's
treatment
plan
from
a
qualified
position,
are
sent
to
an
out-of-state
facility.
It
allows
the
facility
to
receive
bep
funding
for
educational
services
provided
during
behavioral
treatment.
These
phil
these
facilities,
educational
programs,
are
qualified
by
the
department
of
education.
I
I
just
thank
you
for
bringing
us,
and
I
appreciate
the
amendment,
I'm
curious
when
you
say
all
available
options
in
tennessee.
Can
you
just
kind
of
elaborate
on
that?
Is
that
a
is
that
a
pretty
quick
process?
I'm
just
concerned
about
children
that
need
to
be
at
an
out
of
state
facility
that
this
would
add
an
un
a
length
of
time
to
that
and
cause
duras.
C
And
this
was
one
of
the
reasons
I
always
like
to
bring
this
up
rebs
and
andy
ho.
We
gave
him
grief
for
two
years
and
never
got
this
bill
out
out,
and
that
was
one
of
the
objections.
But
representative
hertz
worked
on
that
and
got
that
a
minute.
You
know
one
of
the
reasons,
but
anyway
this
bill's
been
before
us
for
about
a
couple
years
now.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
This
bill
I'll
explain
it
as
briefly
as
I
can
currently
leas
can
extend
school
days
by
30
minutes.
Most
of
them
take
advantage
of
this,
and
they
do
this
to
accumulate
stockpile
days,
usually
in
the
neighborhood
of
8,
to
13
stockpile
days
that
they
can
then
apply
towards
bad
weather
events
so
snow
days.
E
Flooding
these
days
cannot
be
used
towards
extreme
sicknesses
in
case
that
there's
a
flu
outbreak
and
extreme
absences
of
teachers
and
students,
without
first
having
to
request
permission
to
use
those
days
from
the
commissioner
of
education.
This
will
just
remove
that
requirement
where
they
can
use
their
days
as
they
deem
fit,
and
that
we're
glad
to
take
any
questions.
C
L
C
N
C
N
C
Okay,
thank
you
and
his
amendment
rewrote
the
bill.
As
I
explained
the
subcommittee
before
everyone
we're
kind
of
correcting.
We
passed
a
law
earlier
as
public
chapter
708
last
year
and
the
law,
the
new
law
prohibits
school
officials
from
notifying
parents
of
suspected
child
abuse
and
child
sexual
abuse
and
requires
districts
to
refer
any
questions
from
parents
to
the
investigating
law
law
enforcement
agency.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
reason
we
did
this
a
lot
of
times
when
you
have
a
suspected
child
abuse
or
sexual
abuse
of
a
child
in
the
school.
C
If
everyone
gets
engaged
and
starts
asking
the
child
from
the
teacher
to
the
principal
every
time
the
stories
can
get
convoluted,
so
it's
best
to
turn
it
over
to
the
professionals,
and
so
we
passed
that
that
that
the
school
reported
directly
to
the
professionals.
Well,
last
august
the
u.s
department
of
education
enacting
u.s
regulations
under
title
ix
of
the
civil
rights
act
of
64,
which
prohibits
discrimination,
the
basis
of
sex
in
an
education
program
or
activity.
The
new
regulations
require
districts
to
notify
parents
during
title
ix
investigations.
C
So
this
bill
corrects
that,
where
it
says
house
bill,
475
is
amended
addresses
this
issue
by
allowing
parental
notification,
if
all
of
the
following
conditions
are
met,
when
federal
laws
or
regulations
mandate,
disclosure,
the
child's
parent's
parent-
is
not
the
alleged
perpetrator
or
complicit
with
the
abuse
or
neglect,
and
the
notification
is
done
in
conjunction
with
the
department
of
children's
services.
So
it's
just
kind
of
setting
us
up
in
line
with
the
federal
law
that
came
out
while
protecting
children
that
are
maybe
exposed
to
child
sexual
or
domestic
abuse.
