2023-11-14 - School Board Work Session

0:00 We’ll be right back.

15:29 This was a new policy.

15:59 We’ll be right back.

38:28 We’re right back.

38:58 We’ll be right back.

39:58 We’re right back.

1:31:56 We’re looking to implement.

1:32:26 We’re right back.

2:12:25 PARTNERS IN DIFFERENT CAPACITIES, SUCH AS FIELD TRIPS, GUEST

2:12:18 SPEAKERS, RESOURCES,

2:12:20 AND WHATNOT.

2:12:21 JUST TRY AND CONNECT WITH THOSE.

2:12:23 AND HOPEFULLY ALL OF THAT HELPS ENRICH STUDENTS LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT.

2:12:27 SECONDLY, OUR HOPE WAS TO FIND A LOCATION WHERE WE COULD TEAM UP

2:12:31 WITH AN EXISTING PRESCHOOL

2:12:32 OR VPK PROGRAM.

2:12:35 THIS WOULD PROVIDE AN ALREADY EXISTING SCHOOL COMMUNITY FROM WHICH

2:12:38 WE COULD BUILD OUR PROGRAM.

2:12:40 SURE ENOUGH, WE FOUND A GREAT OPPORTUNITY WITH A PROPERTY THAT

2:12:43 WAS TIED TO AN ALREADY

2:12:44 EXISTING, YOU KNOW, PRESCHOOL COMMUNITY.

2:12:48 THIS WOULD NOT ONLY PROVIDE THE PHYSICAL SPACE FOR THE NEW SCHOOL,

2:12:51 BUT WILL GIVE THE CURRENTLY

2:12:52 ENROLLED FAMILIES AN OPTION TO CONTINUE ON AT THEIR SCHOOL SITE.

2:12:55 SO THIS WOULD ALSO BENEFIT IF YOU HAVE, YOU KNOW, YOUNGER SIBLINGS

2:12:59 COMING IN AND THAT

2:12:59 WHOLE DILEMMA OF I HAVE TO TAKE MY ONE CHILD HERE AND PICK UP MY

2:13:03 OTHER CHILD THERE AND

2:13:04 ALL OF THAT, THAT THIS WOULD HELP BUILD A STRONGER SCHOOL COMMUNITY

2:13:09 FOR THE FAMILIES.

2:13:10 THERE’S A STRONG CORRELATION BETWEEN THE QUALITY PRESCHOOL EDUCATION,

2:13:13 STUDENT ACADEMIC

2:13:14 SUCCESS.

2:13:15 AS THEY SAY, GOALS FOR IMPROVING STUDENT LEARNING SHOWS THAT

2:13:17 STUDENTS WHO ATTEND PRESCHOOL

2:13:20 ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE ACADEMICALLY SUCCESSFUL.

2:13:22 SO WE’RE HOPING THAT HAVING A TIE TO THIS PRESCHOOL WILL BUILD

2:13:26 ON THAT.

2:13:27 THIS IS WHY WE’RE HOPING TO BUILD AN EXTENSION OF THIS PREEXISTING

2:13:30 SCHOOL.

2:13:30 THERE’S BEEN A KEEN INTEREST FROM THOSE FAMILIES IN CONTINUING

2:13:33 AT THEIR SCHOOL SITE AS THEIR

2:13:35 CHILDREN ENTER KINDERGARTEN AND ON.

2:13:38 LAST, WE’RE LOOKING TO CREATE A SMALLER PROGRAM TO PROVIDE THIS

2:13:41 OPTION FOR SCHOOL CHOICE IN

2:13:42 AN AREA WHERE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS HAVE HIGH POPULATION IN KINDERGARTEN

2:13:47 THROUGH FIFTH

2:13:47 GRADES.

2:13:48 AND SOME PEOPLE REALLY ENJOY THE SMALLER CLASS, SMALLER VIBE,

2:13:52 YOU KNOW.

2:13:53 OUR CURRENT GOVERNING BOARD IS A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHED

2:13:56 AS A FOUNDED BOARD,

2:13:57 BUT WE WILL MOVE INTO A GOVERNING BODY WHEN THE SCHOOL, IF THE

2:14:01 SCHOOL BECOMES OPERATIONAL.

2:14:03 GOVERNANCE TRAINING THROUGH THE FLORIDA CONSORTIUM OF PUBLIC

2:14:06 CHARTER SCHOOLS WILL BE MANDATORY

2:14:08 FOR ALL BOARD MEMBERS.

2:14:09 AS WE’VE ALREADY DISCUSSED, WE HAVE THREE MEMBERS.

2:14:12 WE ARE PLANNING TO RECRUIT ADDITIONAL MEMBERS WITH THE EXPECTATION

2:14:15 THAT THEY WOULD HAVE

2:14:16 EXPERIENCE IN EDUCATION OR SOME WAY OF SERVING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES.

2:14:21 OF THE MANY DUTIES AND REQUIREMENTS OUTLINED IN THE PROPOSAL, SOME

2:14:24 INCLUDE SERVING ON THE SCHOOL

2:14:25 ADVISORY, HIRING COMMITTEE AND ADOPTING A CONFLICT RESOLUTION

2:14:29 POLICY.

2:14:29 SO THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE PLAN TO HAVE IN PLACE AMONGST

2:14:32 MANY OTHERS THAT YOU’LL

2:14:33 FIND LISTED IN THAT GIGANTIC APPLICATION, BUT BEFORE HIRING, THE

2:14:37 HIRING PROCESS BEGINS.

2:14:39 SO WE ALSO WILL BE THERE TO REPORT ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT ONCE

2:14:43 WE GET OPERATIONAL AND THINGS

2:14:44 GET GOING AND IDENTIFY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PROJECTED AND ACTUAL

2:14:48 STUDENT PERFORMANCE, REPORTING

2:14:49 ON REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES TO ENSURE SCHOOLS ABILITY TO MEET

2:14:52 ITS FINANCIAL

2:14:53 OBLIGATIONS AND REPORT ON THE STATE OF FACILITIES AND HOW THEY

2:14:57 MEET STANDARDS BASED ON STUDENT

2:14:59 POPULATION AND, OF COURSE, SAFETY PROTOCOLS.

2:15:02 OUR BOARD IS NOT LOOKING TO MICROMANGE, BUT RATHER BE STRATEGIC,

2:15:05 A SUPPORTIVE ENTITY AND

2:15:06 RELIABLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATORS AND THE STAFF THAT GETS PUT IN

2:15:10 PLACE THERE AND ACCESSIBLE.

2:15:12 I JUST WANT TO ADD THAT.

2:15:13 THROUGH MARKETING AND JOB POSTINGS, OUR BOARD WILL SEEK TO ATTRACT

2:15:17 ADMINISTRATORS AND

2:15:18 TEACHERS THAT ARE HIGHLY MOTIVATED AND EXCITED ABOUT JOINING AND

2:15:21 HELPING TO CREATE THIS

2:15:22 UNIQUE STUDENT-CENTERED PROGRAM.

2:15:24 WE’RE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS NEW EDUCATIONAL

2:15:30 MODEL AND VERY

2:15:30 MUCH HOPE THAT WE MAY SERVE THE FAMILIES OF BREVARD COUNTY AND

2:15:34 STAFF.

2:15:34 I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR EDUCATIONAL PLAN AND OUR

2:15:43 THEME FOR THE 24-25

2:15:46 SCHOOL YEAR IS FULL STEAM AHEAD AND OUR EDUCATIONAL PLAN INVOLVES

2:15:52 LITERACY-RICH CLASSROOMS,

2:15:53 AN AUTHENTIC PROJECT-BASED STEAM EMPHASIS, PROFESSIONALS COMMITTED

2:16:02 TO A NURTURING AND

2:16:03 WELCOMING AND EFFECTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTIONAL

2:16:09 STRATEGIES DESIGNED

2:16:10 TO MEET THE NEEDS OF ALL LEARNERS, PLC’S FOR EDUCATOR GROWTH,

2:16:14 AGAIN AS AN EXAMPLE FOR

2:16:16 OUR STUDENTS GROWING IN THEIR CAPACITIES, TEACHERS AS WELL HAVE

2:16:20 AN OPPORTUNITY IN PLC’S TO

2:16:22 LEARN AND PRACTICE THEIR CRAFT, AND INCLUSION OF CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

2:16:27 AND WRAPAROUND CARE

2:16:28 AND IS JUST A START TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR FAMILIES, TO MEET

2:16:31 THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY.

2:16:34 SO LITERACY EDUCATION, OUR PLAN IS MEANT TO INSPIRE HIGH LEVELS

2:16:37 OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT,

2:16:39 LEADING TO HIGH ACHIEVEMENT. AS A FOUNDATION OF ALL LEARNING, LANGUAGE

2:16:43 AND LITERACY IS THE

2:16:44 CORE COMPONENT OF A STRATEGIC CURRICULUM FROM US, LAYING THAT PATH

2:16:48 FOR LEARNERS TO PROGRESS

2:16:49 THROUGH ALL THE STAGES OF LITERACY. OUR EDUCATORS WILL DEMONSTRATE

2:16:53 A COMMITMENT TO THE

2:16:54 IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR EXCELLENT CKLA LANGUAGE ARTS CURRICULUM, HIGH

2:16:58 QUALITY AND FREQUENT

2:17:00 COMMUNICATION WITH FAMILIES, AND PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT

2:17:03 AND INSTRUCTION FOR STUDENTS

2:17:05 WHO MAY BE STRUGGLING. OUR AIM IS TO DEVELOP PROFICIENT READERS

2:17:09 WHO ARE CAPABLE OF CRITICAL

2:17:11 THOUGHT AS WELL AS EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO SHARE THEIR

2:17:14 CREATIVE IDEAS.

2:17:16 SECONDLY, THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR SCHOOL IS BASED IN STEAM, THE

2:17:22 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY,

2:17:24 ENGINEERING, ARTS AND MATHEMATICS. WE PLAN ON RUNNING A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY

2:17:30 APPROACH WHERE

2:17:31 LEARNERS THINK CRITICALLY AND ACT CREATIVELY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS

2:17:34 AND FIND SOLUTIONS. THE REAL

2:17:37 WORLD ENTERS THE CLASSROOM DAILY AND THE LEARNERS CAN USE THEIR

2:17:39 GROWING CONTEXT IN SCIENCE AND ART

2:17:41 IN MATHEMATICS AND TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD, CREATE, BOUNCE IDEAS OFF

2:17:45 OF EACH OTHER, LEARN FROM EACH

2:17:47 OTHER, ASK QUESTIONS OF EXPERTS FROM THE COMMUNITY, MAKING ATTEMPTS,

2:17:52 REFLECT, GO BACK AND TRY IT AGAIN.

2:17:54 THE AUTHENTIC LEARNING MODEL AND A PROJECT-BASED LEARNING APPROACH

2:18:02 IS REALLY FOUNDATIONAL TO US

2:18:04 AS A SCHOOL BOARD WHERE THE RIGOR AND THE ENGAGEMENT WHERE STUDENTS

2:18:11 ARE ABLE TO TAKE RISKS AND TAKE

2:18:15 OWNERSHIP OF THEIR LEARNING THAT JUST REALLY RAMPS UP THE EDUCATIONAL

2:18:20 EXPERIENCE AT OUR PROPOSED

2:18:22 SCHOOL. WE WANT TO GROW THEIR CONFIDENCE. WE WANT TO GROW STUDENTS’

2:18:25 SELF-ESTEEM.

2:18:25 WE WANT STUDENTS TO LEARN TO COMMUNICATE AND COLLABORATE TO SEE

2:18:29 A TASK THROUGH.

2:18:30 THESE ARE ALL SKILLS THAT HAVE A BASIS IN APPLICATIONS FOR THEIR

2:18:36 FUTURE.

2:18:36 THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE SCHOOL NATURALLY NEEDS TO FOSTER AND NURTURE

2:18:41 AND ENCOURAGE COLLABORATION

2:18:42 AND RISK-TAKING. OUR AIM IS TO CREATE THIS SCHOOL CULTURE. COLLABORATION,

2:18:47 A KEY SKILL FOR

2:18:48 LEARNERS, ALSO PERMITS THE EXPECTATION OF THE PROFESSIONAL STAFF.

2:18:51 AND HERE AGAIN COME IN THE PLC’S

2:18:53 WHERE TEACHERS AND STAFF AND ADMINISTRATION AS WELL COMMUNICATE

2:18:59 AND COLLABORATE TOGETHER

2:19:01 IN ORDER TO GROW THEIR CAPACITY TO ENCOURAGE LEARNERS IN AUTHENTIC

2:19:05 LEARNING AND PROJECT-BASED

2:19:06 INCREASE. IT’S NOT AN EASY THING TO LEARN HOW TO DO. IT’S NOT A

2:19:09 ONE-YEAR GOAL ACHIEVED.

2:19:11 IT’S A FIVE-YEAR PLAN. AND SO ENGAGING IN PLC’S AND LEARNING AND

2:19:16 PERFECTING THE ABILITY

2:19:18 TO IMPLEMENT AN AUTHENTIC LEARNING-BASED MODEL, A PROJECT-BASED

2:19:23 INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY

2:19:25 DOES TAKE PRACTICE AND IT DOES TAKE TIME. AND WE WANT TO GIVE

2:19:28 OUR TEACHERS AND OUR PROFESSIONALS

2:19:29 THAT OPPORTUNITY TO PERFECT THAT CRAFT. THERE MAY BE A NEED TO

2:19:33 SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING AND

2:19:35 FOR SOME MAY BE IN NEED OF MORE EVALUATIONS TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL

2:19:39 LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS TO BE MORE SUCCESSFUL,

2:19:41 SUCH AS AN EASY PROGRAM OR A GIFTED PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS. EDUCATORS

2:19:48 WOULD ALSO SUPPORT EACH OTHER

2:19:49 IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CURRICULUM, COLLABORATIVE STRUCTURES, CREATING

2:19:54 THAT VILLAGE

2:19:55 WHERE EVERYONE FEELS SUPPORTED AND SAFE AND TRUSTED. FAMILIES

2:20:00 ARE A KEY COMPONENT OF OUR VISION

2:20:02 FOR OUR NEW SCHOOL, INCLUDING FAMILIES THAT ARE FULLY SUPPORTED

2:20:06 WITH ADDITIONAL EXTRACURRICULAR

2:20:08 ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS, FREE AND REDUCED-COST MEALS, AND IN ANY

2:20:12 WAY THAT FAMILIES CAN COMMUNICATE

2:20:14 TO US, THE SCHOOL BOARD, AND TO THE STAFF AT OUR SCHOOL, THE NEEDS

2:20:18 THAT THEY NEED TO BE MET.

2:20:20 WE WANT TO BE OPEN TO HEARING THAT. WE WANT OPEN COMMUNICATION

2:20:23 WITH FAMILIES,

2:20:24 SO THEY FEEL PART OF THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. OUR FRAMEWORKS FOR

2:20:30 THE CURRICULUM INCLUDE AN

2:20:31 INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN ARE INTENDED TO PREPARE LEARNERS FOR THE FUTURE,

2:20:36 AND THEY WILL HAVE

2:20:37 TO PLAY A ROLE IN CONTRIBUTING MEANINGFULLY TO THEIR FAMILY AND

2:20:40 TO THEIR SCHOOL AND TO THEIR

2:20:42 COMMUNITY, TO THEIR STATE, TO THEIR COUNTRY AT LARGE. AND TECHNOLOGY

2:20:46 WOULD BE USED AND

2:20:47 IMPLEMENTED IN A SAFE AND RESPONSIBLE MANNER. INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS

2:20:51 AND STRATEGIES WOULD FOSTER

2:20:52 INCLUSION, COMMUNICATION, SHARING OF IDEAS, AND CLEAR EXPOSIT

2:20:57 KNOWLEDGE BUILDING WHERE NEEDED.

2:21:00 PARENT INVOLVEMENT AND INCLUSION OF EXPERTS FROM THE WIDER COMMUNITY

2:21:05 AND INPUT FROM

2:21:06 PROFESSIONALS AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL ARE STRATEGIES THAT MODEL

2:21:09 FOR LEARNERS THAT SCHOOL IS NOT A

2:21:11 CLOSED CLASSROOM, A GRADE-TO-GRADE ENVIRONMENT. ALL I NEED TO DO

2:21:15 IS PROMOTE TO THE NEXT GRADE,

2:21:17 THAT’S WHY I’M HERE. BUT THIS IS A COLLABORATION OF THE STUDENTS

2:21:20 AND ADULTS IN THIS BUILDING WHO

2:21:22 HAVE A STAKE IN ALL PEOPLE, ACHIEVING GROWTH AND SUCCESS FOR THE

2:21:26 FUTURE.

2:21:27 DIFFERENTIATION AND INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS TO ENGAGE YOUNG HUMANS

2:21:31 OF THEIRING ABILITIES

2:21:33 WILL BE EMPLOYED TO PROMOTE INCLUSION AND EQUALITY AND MEET THE

2:21:36 NEEDS FOR ALL.

2:21:37 ACCOUNTABILITY FOR KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS APPLICABLE TO THE FUTURE

2:21:40 WORLD IS ESSENTIAL AND WE DO PLAN

2:21:43 ON PARTICIPATING WITH THE WIDER COMMUNITY OF STATE MANDATED ASSESSMENTS

2:21:46 AND DISTRICT REQUIREMENTS

2:21:48 FOR PROGRESSION AND PROMOTION. WE AS A BOARD, WE HAVE A LOT OF

2:21:55 CONFIDENCE STEMMING FROM A

2:21:57 LIFETIME IN EDUCATION AND WORKING WITH EDUCATIONAL COMMUNITIES

2:22:01 AND WE’RE GEARING UP TO PREPARE

2:22:03 OUR LITTLE CORNER OF BREVARD COUNTY FOR THE FUTURE. WE’RE PLEASED

2:22:07 TO OFFER STUDENTS AND EDUCATORS

2:22:08 A NEW APPROACH TO LEARNING, A NEW PLACE TO BELONG, A GREAT PLACE

2:22:13 TO GROW AND BECOME THE BEST

2:22:14 VERSION OF THEMSELVES. AND SO WE’RE SUPER EXCITED TO BE HERE TO

2:22:18 SPEAK WITH YOU TO HAVE THIS

2:22:19 OPPORTUNITY TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES AND WE’RE ENTERING THE NEXT

2:22:23 SCHOOL YEAR FULL STEAM AHEAD.

2:22:25 THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALLOWING US THIS OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU.

2:22:28 OKAY BOARD MEMBERS, DOES ANYBODY WISH TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.

2:22:36 MS. CAMPBELL FIRST.

2:22:37 I’M GOING TO ASK THE BASIC QUESTIONS THAT ARE PROBABLY ANSWERED

2:22:43 IN THE BOOKLET BUT I HAVEN’T

2:22:43 GOT A CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT YET BECAUSE IT’S BEEN ABOUT THREE YEARS

2:22:46 SINCE WE’VE HAD

2:22:46 THIS KIND OF A PRESENTATION OF A NEW CHARTER SCHOOL. SO YOU KNOW,

2:22:50 WE DIDN’T GET A HEADS UP.

2:22:51 TWO WEEKS TO GO THROUGH IT. RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.

2:22:54 SO YEAH, SO JUST SOME BASIC THINGS. AND I DIDN’T WRITE THEM DOWN

2:22:58 OR I WROTE THEM DOWN AS THEY

2:22:59 CAME TO ME. SO YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT STARTING NEXT SCHOOL YEAR

2:23:04 PROJECTING AND ABOUT HOW MANY

2:23:05 STUDENTS YOU THINK YOU’LL HAVE CAPACITY FOR? SO I DON’T HAVE THE

2:23:11 PAPERS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

2:23:12 IT’S STARTING WITH – SO THE PROPOSAL IS AND THE PROJECTION IS

2:23:20 THAT IT WOULD HAVE JUST K THROUGH SECOND

2:23:22 GRADE, FOUR CLASSES OF KINDER, FOUR CLASSES OF FIRST, AND THREE

2:23:27 OF SECOND.

2:23:28 OKAY. AND THEN YOU WOULD JUST ADD A GRADE EVERY YEAR?

2:23:32 EXACTLY. GOING UP TO SIX OR GOING UP TO EIGHTH?

2:23:34 FIFTH. JUST THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

2:23:36 OKAY. YOU DO KNOW – I MEAN, IN BRAVARD, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU

2:23:38 WANT.

2:23:38 IN BRAVARD, OUR MODEL, ALL OF OUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS GO UP TO SIXTH

2:23:41 GRADE.

2:23:41 OKAY. WE’RE LIKE THE ONLY PLACE LEFT IN FLORIDA THAT DOES IT

2:23:45 THAT WAY.

2:23:45 I KIND OF LIKE THAT.

2:23:46 YEAH. SO JUST SOMETHING TO CONSIDER.

2:23:49 YOU HAVE A LOCATION. YOU SAID WE WERE WANTING TO ATTACH TO A CURRENT

2:23:54 PRE-K, VPK.

2:23:55 SO I HEARD SOMETHING. YOU MIGHT BE IN THE NORTH END OF THE COUNTY.

2:23:59 IT’S IN TITUSVILLE. OKAY.

2:24:02 AND IT’S AN EXISTING PRE-K, VPK PROGRAM, PRESCHOOL VPK PROGRAM.

2:24:08 AND SO THEY HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED STUDENTS. THEY’VE BEEN THERE

2:24:12 FOR A FEW YEARS.

2:24:13 AND IT’S – SO THEY WOULD BE PART OF THAT – LIKE, THEY WOULD BE

2:24:18 SEPARATE,

2:24:18 BUT THEY’RE ALREADY EXISTING THERE. SO THAT WAS PART OF THE WHOLE

2:24:21 THING.

2:24:21 SHARING SPACE. SHARING SPACE, BUT MARKETING

2:24:23 WITH THOSE FAMILIES AND HOPEFULLY BEING AN OPTION TO HELP THE FAMILIES

2:24:28 GROW AND STAY THERE.

2:24:29 I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR BOARD. SO THE BOARD CURRENTLY

2:24:32 OF DIRECTORS FOR THIS WOULD BE THE TWO OF YOU PLUS THE ONE THAT

2:24:35 YOU SHARED WITH US.

2:24:36 HOW MANY SCHOOLS ARE YOU CURRENTLY GOVERNING?

2:24:41 IS THIS YOUR FIRST FORAY? AND SO YOU DON’T HAVE ANYBODY LOCAL?

2:24:47 EVERYBODY? YOU ARE ALL OUT OF JACKSONVILLE?

2:24:49 CORRECT. ST. HONESTON.

2:24:52 WHO – DO YOU ALREADY HAVE PLANS TO MAKE – BECAUSE EVERY COUNTY

2:24:55 IS DIFFERENT.

2:24:55 WE’RE VERY DIFFERENT FROM DUVALL.

2:24:57 AND TO – TO GET LOCAL, I GUESS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY OF SAYING

2:25:02 THAT.

2:25:02 WELL, DEFINITELY LOOKING AT – YOU KNOW, TRYING TO – BECAUSE WE

2:25:06 WANT TO INCREASE OUR BOARD

2:25:07 AND HAVE JUST MORE HEADS, MORE, YOU KNOW, MORE BRAINS WORKING.

2:25:12 AND SO, YES, THAT IS A PRIMARY THING, IS TO FIND – HAVE SOMEONE

2:25:15 DOWN HERE.

2:25:16 AND WE HAVE, LIKE, A COUPLE PEOPLE THAT WE’RE AFFILIATED WITH

2:25:20 HAVE SOME CONNECTIONS DOWN HERE ALREADY.

2:25:23 SO WE ARE ABSOLUTELY LOOKING TO HAVE THAT BE PART OF THE BOARD.

2:25:25 AND THEN, OF COURSE, STAFFING AND ADMINISTRATORS, SO THE SCHOOL

2:25:30 IN ESSENCE BE FROM HERE.

2:25:31 DO YOU PLAN TO USE A MANAGEMENT COMPANY?

2:25:35 YES.

2:25:37 DO YOU ALREADY HAVE THE NAME, WHICH MANAGEMENT COMPANY?

2:25:39 I BELIEVE IT’S KEYSTONE.

2:25:41 OKAY.

2:25:42 THANK YOU.

2:25:43 AND IT’S PROVIDING – SOME OF OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION,

2:25:47 SOME OF THEM DON’T.

2:25:48 IS THAT PART OF YOUR PLAN TO PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION?

2:25:50 I DON’T BELIEVE TRANSPORTATION IS INCLUDED.

2:25:52 OKAY.

2:25:53 ONLY LIKE TWO OF THEM DO.

2:25:57 SORRY, I’VE JUST GOT A COUPLE MORE BOARD – OH, ACTUALLY, THIS LAST

2:26:03 ONE.

2:26:04 CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE TAKEN, YOU KNOW, ON THE TASK OF HAVING KIND

2:26:08 OF A UNIQUE TAKE ON EDUCATION.

2:26:10 SO IF I’M GATHERING FROM WHAT YOU SAID, IT’S GOING TO BE STEAM-BASED

2:26:14 AND THEN PROJECT-BASED

2:26:15 LEARNING.

2:26:16 THE PLC, I’M GOING TO SAY, IS NOT UNIQUE, NECESSARILY, BECAUSE A

2:26:18 LOT OF OUR SCHOOLS ALSO

2:26:19 DO THAT AS WELL.

2:26:20 BUT AM I GATHERING THAT RIGHT, THAT PROJECT-BASED LEARNING –

2:26:24 AND WE ALSO HAVE SCHOOLS THAT DO STEAM

2:26:26 TOO, BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT’S THE MAIN THING THAT’S GOING TO SET

2:26:30 YOU APART.

2:26:31 YES.

2:26:32 OKAY.

2:26:33 THAT’S ALL I HAVE.

2:26:34 THANK YOU.

2:26:35 OKAY.

2:26:36 MR. TRENT, DID YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS?

2:26:37 NOT AT THE MOMENT.

2:26:38 OKAY.

2:26:39 THANK YOU.

2:26:40 AND, AGAIN, JUST TO REITERATE WHAT MISS CAMPBELL SAID, DIDN’T

2:26:45 HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK

2:26:47 AT THAT, SO I APOLOGIZE.

2:26:48 NO, THAT’S OKAY.

2:26:49 YOU MENTIONED REALLY BRIEFLY ABOUT ESC SERVICES, IS THAT – CAN

2:26:53 YOU EXPLAIN TO ME A LITTLE

2:26:54 BIT ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD HANDLE THAT IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT, SINCE

2:26:57 YOU’RE STARTING WITH SUCH

2:26:58 A SMALL POPULATION, HOW THAT WOULD BE STAFFED, HOW IT WOULD BE

2:27:01 ASSESSED IN THAT MANNER?

2:27:04 THE FULL MTSS PROCESS WOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PRINCIPLE,

2:27:10 OF COURSE, BUT ALL THOSE

2:27:12 PROGRAMS WOULD BE IN PLACE, ALL THE ORGANIZATIONAL FLOW OF THAT

2:27:16 PROCESS, AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE

2:27:19 I THINK WE’RE ANTICIPATING THERE’S GOING TO NEED TO BE ONE, IT’S

2:27:24 LIKE 1.5, THE NUMBERS

2:27:26 COME OUT TO DECIMALS, BUT TWO PEOPLE, BASED ON THE POPULATION OF

2:27:31 THE SCHOOLS IN EXISTENCE

2:27:33 IN THE AREA AROUND OUR LOCATION, SO THOSE PEOPLE WOULD BE IN PLACE,

2:27:38 THE MTSS PROCESS WOULD

2:27:40 GO THROUGH, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD GO THROUGH BREVARD COUNTY

2:27:44 AS FAR AS WHAT PROTOCOLS

2:27:45 BREVARD COUNTY HAS IN PLACE, THE ASSESSMENT AND THE EVALUATION

2:27:50 IS DONE BY BREVARD COUNTY

2:27:52 PROFESSIONALS, I THINK WE WOULD TEAM UP VERY CLOSELY WITH THE COUNTY

2:27:55 TO HAVE THE ESC PROCESS OR

2:27:57 THE GIFTED EVALUATIONS DONE FOR OUR STUDENT POPULATION.

2:28:04 YOU DON’T HAVE TO SAY THIS PUBLICLY IF YOU DON’T WANT TO FOR ANY

2:28:09 REASON, IF IT’S IN THE

2:28:09 PACKET, I MEAN, I GUESS, I DON’T KNOW, IT’S UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT

2:28:13 TO SAY IT, SAY THE NAME

2:28:14 OR NOT, BUT DO YOU MIND SHARING WHAT THE LOCATION IS OR IS IT IN

2:28:19 THE PACKET?

2:28:19 NO, IT’S IN THERE.

2:28:22 WHAT IS IT CALLED, RAY?

2:28:27 NOX MCRAE.

2:28:29 1923, NOX MCRAE.

2:28:30 THANKS.

2:28:31 YEAH.

2:28:32 OKAY, I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS FOR YOU GUYS.

2:28:36 SO YOU’RE OUT OF DUVALL COUNTY.

2:28:37 LET ME ASK YOU, WHY TITUSVILLE?

2:28:40 SO BASICALLY BECAUSE WE, SO AGAIN, BASED ON THE VISION AND SORT

2:28:50 OF HOW WE WERE EXPECTING

2:28:51 SORT OF GROW, IS THAT WE WANTED TO FIND AN EXISTING, YOU KNOW,

2:28:56 LOCATION THAT WOULD HAVE SPACE.

2:28:58 SO IT WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE WANTED TO HAVE FAMILIES THAT ARE ALREADY

2:29:01 IN PLACE, A LITTLE

2:29:01 BIT OF A SCHOOL COMMUNITY STEMMING FROM A VPK COMMUNITY.

2:29:06 AND THAT WAS WHERE THIS CAME FROM.

2:29:08 AND THEN WITH THE AVAILABILITY OF THE PROPERTY, THAT WAS WHAT WE

2:29:11 WERE LOOKING FOR.

2:29:13 AND SO BASICALLY SO THAT WE COULD GROW FROM, AND NOT JUST – I

2:29:17 MEAN, NOT THAT WE’RE ATTACHED TO THEM.

2:29:20 BUT THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE AN EXISTING COMMUNITY OF FAMILIES.

2:29:23 AND SO, YOU KNOW, THE HOPE BEING THAT WE CAN BUILD THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.

2:29:26 AND SO IF SOME OF THOSE FAMILIES WANT TO CONTINUE ON, THEY ALREADY

2:29:30 HAVE A PLACE WITHIN THAT

2:29:31 SCHOOL AREA, THE SCHOOL STATE AREA.

2:29:33 AND IT’S A LARGE PROPERTY, SO THEY HAVE, LIKE, THERE’S A COUPLE

2:29:39 DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE SCHOOLS THERE

2:29:41 OF HOW THEY WOULD BREAK DOWN THE LOGISTICS OF THE SCHOOL.

2:29:44 AND IF I’M UNDERSTANDING CORRECTLY, THIS SITE LOCATION WAS A PREVIOUS

2:29:48 CHARTER WITH REVARD COUNTY.

2:29:49 IS THAT CORRECT OR NO?

2:29:50 YES.

2:29:51 OKAY.

2:29:52 WE JUST FOUND THAT OUT.

2:29:53 WE JUST FOUND THAT, YEAH.

2:29:54 OKAY.

2:29:55 ALL RIGHT.

2:29:56 SO IS THERE ANY AFFILIATION WITH THE PREVIOUS CHARTER OR ANYBODY

2:29:58 ON THE BOARD THERE?

2:29:58 NO.

2:29:59 WE LITERALLY JUST FOUND THAT OUT.

2:30:00 DID YOU?

2:30:01 YEAH.

2:30:02 WE JUST WENT DOWN THERE AND HANG OUT.

2:30:03 DID YOU?

2:30:04 YEAH.

2:30:05 WE JUST CHECKED IN ON THEM TO SAY HI AND INTRODUCE OURSELVES.

2:30:06 OKAY.

2:30:07 AND SO, YEAH, WE ACTUALLY DID NOT KNOW THAT, BUT THIS IS, LIKE,

2:30:11 ORION JUST LITERALLY STARTED.

2:30:14 WE JUST NAMED THE SCHOOL TOGETHER.

2:30:15 YEAH.

2:30:16 OKAY.

2:30:17 WE’RE BRAND NEW.

2:30:18 WE’VE ALL BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM AND STILL PRETTY MUCH, LIKE, GEEZ,

2:30:20 YOU KNOW, STILL FULL

2:30:20 TIME.

2:30:21 AND IN FACT, I THINK THAT WAS ONE, WHEN WE FOUND OUT ABOUT THE

2:30:23 PREVIOUS CHARTER SCHOOL THERE, I’D

2:30:24 LIKE TO LOOK THAT UP.

2:30:25 I’D LIKE TO FIND OUT WHO THAT WAS AND SEE WHY, YEAH, WHY THAT

2:30:31 DID NOT WORK OUT.

2:30:32 YEAH.

2:30:33 I’D LIKE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IT MYSELF.

2:30:34 OKAY.

2:30:35 AND IS THERE ANY TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE?

2:30:37 I SEE THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SECURED FINANCING FOR, I BELIEVE, OR A

2:30:39 START-UP LOAN, LOOKS LIKE

2:30:41 IN THE AMOUNT OF $300,000 OR SOMETHING IS WHAT IT SAYS IN HERE,

2:30:44 CORRECT?

2:30:44 IS THAT RIGHT?

2:30:45 YEAH.

2:30:46 IS THERE ANY TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION YOU NEED TO BUILD OUT THE LOCATION

2:30:48 TO YOUR NEEDS OR NO?

2:30:49 NOT TO THAT CURRENT SPACE.

2:30:50 YOU KNOW, CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE WOULD APPRECIATE TO DO, FACELIFT

2:30:53 A LITTLE BIT, YOU KNOW,

2:30:55 THAT KIND OF THING.

2:30:56 BUT THE SPACE, LOGISTICAL SPACE FOR THE STUDENTS IS –

2:30:59 ALREADY THERE.

2:31:00 IT’S ALREADY THERE.

2:31:01 OKAY.

2:31:02 I DON’T THINK SO.

2:31:04 I BELIEVE SO.

2:31:05 I DON’T THINK SO.

2:31:08 I BELIEVE SO.

2:31:09 I DON’T KNOW THOSE DETAILS.

2:31:10 THEY ARE CURRENTLY WORKING ON THEIR PLAYGROUND SPACE BECAUSE

2:31:14 THERE’S NOW BEEN BUILDING

2:31:16 WHERE THEY DID – WHERE THEY DO CURRENTLY HAVE A PLAYGROUND,

2:31:18 THERE’S GOING TO BE BUILDING

2:31:19 THERE.

2:31:20 SO THAT MIGHT BE ONE PIECE THAT WAS UNANTICIPATED THAT THEY MAY

2:31:23 HAVE TO MOVE THE PLAYGROUND.

2:31:25 SO THAT’S WHAT THE GENTLEMAN WAS SAYING, MR. JENKINS.

2:31:27 SO, LIKE, ON THE OTHER SIDE.

2:31:28 OKAY.

2:31:29 SO THAT WOULD BE THE ONE PIECE THAT WE MIGHT HAVE TO BE INVOLVED

2:31:32 IN.

2:31:32 WOULD THAT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR CONSTRUCTION?

2:31:34 WELL, I’M JUST WONDERING IF YOU’VE WORKED WITH THE CITY OF TITUSVILLE

2:31:36 AT ALL.

2:31:37 I’M A NORTH END PERSON.

2:31:38 SO I JUST WONDERED IF YOU’D WORK WITH THEM AT ALL WHEN IT COMES

2:31:41 TO –

2:31:41 IF IT’S ANYTHING LIKE ST. JOHN’S.

2:31:43 WE’LL PLAN IN ADVANCE.

2:31:46 ALL RIGHT.

2:31:47 AND IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR START-UP, YOUR PROJECTED TIME YOU’RE LOOKING

2:31:51 IS NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.

2:31:51 IS THAT RIGHT?

2:31:52 YEAH.

2:31:53 OKAY.

2:31:54 HAVE YOU GUYS STARTED RECRUITING YET AT THIS POINT TO SEE WHAT

2:31:55 THE INTEREST IS?

2:31:59 WE’RE KICKING IT OFF.

2:32:00 HAVE YOU STARTED LOOKING AT THAT YET?

2:32:02 MOSTLY JUST FROM – MOSTLY FROM THE INTERACTIONS FROM THE EXISTING

2:32:06 VPK PROGRAM.

2:32:07 AND THAT THERE IS A LOT OF INTEREST THERE.

2:32:09 BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, A LOT OF THE FAMILIES ARE DEALING WITH, YOU

2:32:12 KNOW, TRYING TO GET THERE.

2:32:13 AND THEY HAVE AN AFTER CARE PROGRAM.

2:32:15 SO THEY HAVE KIDS THAT COME OVER ON VACATIONS WHEN THE SCHOOL –

2:32:19 WHEN THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED,

2:32:21 THOSE KIDS ARE THERE.

2:32:22 SO THERE’S SOME KIDS THAT THEY – THEY’VE HAD KEEN INTEREST FROM

2:32:26 THE FAMILIES.

2:32:27 AND THEN THAT WOULD BE PART OF OUR MARKETING, YOU KNOW, COME –

2:32:31 HAVE YOU GUYS EVER LOOKED AT STARTING A CHARTER PRIOR TO THIS,

2:32:35 OR NO?

2:32:35 IT’S ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM.

2:32:36 IT’S A DREAM, OKAY.

2:32:37 IT’S ALWAYS BEEN A DREAM.

2:32:38 I’VE WORKED IN START – I WORKED IN A START-UP CHARTER.

2:32:40 I HAVE, TOO.

2:32:41 AND SO IS SHE –

2:32:42 WE STARTED CHARTER SCHOOLS, BUT THEY WEREN’T OURS.

2:32:44 OKAY.

2:32:45 WE WEREN’T, LIKE, THIS – LIKE, ON PAPER.

2:32:46 IT WAS LIKE THERE WAS ALREADY A BUILDING.

2:32:48 THIS IS SO MUCH PAPER, TOO.

2:32:49 THERE’S SO MUCH PAPER THERE.

2:32:50 WAIT, I DIDN’T WRITE THAT.

2:32:52 THANK YOU.

2:32:53 THAT’S ALL I HAVE RIGHT NOW.

2:32:54 AND LIKE WHAT MY FELLOW BOAR MEMBERS HAVE SAID, TRANSPARENCY.

2:32:57 WE HAVEN’T HAD A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH THIS ENTIRE THING.

2:32:58 OF COURSE.

2:32:59 THAT’S FINE.

2:33:00 SO, QUITE A BIT OF READING MATERIAL.

2:33:01 BUT I’M SURE AS THIS PROGRESSES, WE WILL GET OUR EYES ON THE READING

2:33:04 OF IT.

2:33:04 SO, APPRECIATE IT.

2:33:05 THANK YOU.

2:33:06 ABSOLUTELY.

2:33:07 HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOOK AT IT.

2:33:09 SO, GOOD QUESTION.

2:33:10 WE’RE ALSO GOING TO BE BACK IN DECEMBER.

2:33:15 FOR THE CAPACITY INTERVIEW.

2:33:17 SO, IT’LL GIVE YOU –

2:33:19 WE’LL KNOW EVEN MORE THEN.

2:33:20 I KNOW.

2:33:21 WE’RE ALL NEW TO THIS.

2:33:22 I THINK ONE THING THAT WE DID REALLY TAKE AWAY FROM OUR VISIT TO

2:33:25 THE SCHOOL TODAY,

2:33:26 WHEN WE STOPPED BY THERE ON THE WAY DOWN HERE, WAS THAT THE PEOPLE

2:33:30 THAT HAVE BEEN RUNNING

2:33:32 AT SCHOOL HAVE A VERY WELL ESTABLISHED CONNECTION TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD

2:33:36 AND TO THE FAMILIES IN THIS COMMUNITY.

2:33:38 AND THEY REALLY HAVE A LOT OF INTEGRITY ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE HOPING

2:33:42 THAT THEY’RE WORKING WITH.

2:33:43 AND I THINK THAT THAT’S SOMETHING – WE CONNECTED WITH THEM A LITTLE

2:33:48 BIT AND JUST SORT OF WERE LIKE –

2:33:49 I THINK THAT THAT’S – IT’S A REALLY INTERESTING PIECE THAT THEY

2:33:53 HAVE A VERY CLOSENET COMMUNITY THAT TRUST –

2:33:55 YOU KNOW, AND THAT’S SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO BE.

2:33:57 WE WANT TO BE TRUSTFUL – TRUSTING.

2:33:59 WE WANT TO BE WORTHY OF THEIR TRUST.

2:34:01 AND THAT IT WOULD BE FAMILY – YOU KNOW, VERY FAMILY-ORIENTED, EASY

2:34:06 COMMUNICATION.

2:34:07 AND LIKE, IF THEY HAVE LITTLE ONES IN RIGHT HERE, AND THEN OUR LITTLE

2:34:10 BIGGER ONES,

2:34:11 WHICH ARE NOT THAT BIG, BECAUSE THEY’RE IN KINDER AND FIRST AND

2:34:13 SECOND,

2:34:14 YOU KNOW, IT REALLY SHOULD BE MORE OF A FAMILY-ORIENTED PIECE.

2:34:18 SO, IF I MAY ASK A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

2:34:21 YOU ALREADY HAD MENTIONED THE STUDENTS.

2:34:22 I CAN GET THAT NUMBER BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CLASSROOMS.

2:34:25 YOUR GROWTH PLAN IS THAT YOU’LL EVENTUALLY GET UP TO FIFTH GRADE,

2:34:29 POSSIBLY SIX,

2:34:30 BECAUSE THAT DIVES IN WITH US AS YOU GO.

2:34:32 IS THERE ENOUGH ROOM AT THAT LOCATION TO DO THAT?

2:34:36 THERE’S A NUMBER.

2:34:37 THEY HAVE K-6 BEFORE, BUT IF PART OF THE BUILDING IS BEING USED,

2:34:42 IT’S NOT BIG ENOUGH, I DON’T THINK, TO GO ALL THE WAY.

2:34:44 SO, YOU MIGHT GROW AS YOU GO.

2:34:45 YEAH, YEAH.

2:34:46 THERE’S ADDITIONAL SPACE IN THE BUILDING THAT OUR DEVELOPER IS

2:34:51 WILLING TO

2:34:52 EXPAND AND PUT WALLS IN AND FACILITIES.

2:34:56 25,000 SQUARE FEET.

2:34:58 I SAW THAT NUMBER IN THERE.

2:35:00 SCHOOL SECURITY.

2:35:01 THERE WAS A WHOLE SECTION IN THERE.

2:35:02 DO YOU GUYS WANT TO KIND OF GO THROUGH THAT?

2:35:04 THAT’S A BIG TOPIC AROUND HERE.

2:35:06 HOW YOU GUYS DO THAT?

2:35:07 SCHOOL SECURITY.

2:35:08 I BELIEVE THE BACK OFFICE ORGANIZER IS GOING TO HANDLE THAT.

2:35:18 BUT FROM WHAT I KNOW OF HOW THAT IS GOING TO WORK IS A SERIES OF

2:35:23 GUARDIANS WILL BE ON CAMPUS

2:35:26 TO PROVIDE BOOTS ON THE GROUND TYPE OF SECURITY.

2:35:31 I’M NOT SURE ABOUT THE DETAILS, BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, MAGNETIC

2:35:35 DOORS, SECURITY,

2:35:36 ENTRY, KEY MAGNETIC RELEASE IN I.D. CARDS, ALL DOORS LOCKED EXCEPT

2:35:44 FOR, YOU KNOW,

2:35:45 WHEN IT RELEASE TYPE OF EXIT.

2:35:48 AT THE VERY LEAST, SECURITY CAMERAS EVERYWHERE.

2:35:51 IF WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, SECURITY CAMERAS EVERYWHERE.

2:35:56 AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE THE VERY BASIC PIECE.

2:35:59 I CAN GET MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THAT SPECIFICALLY, BUT I DON’T

2:36:04 KNOW THAT WHEN THE BUILDING IS NOT

2:36:06 COMPLETELY BUILT OUT YET, THEY MAY NOT KNOW EXACTLY WHERE.

2:36:11 LIKE, I CAN’T TELL YOU WHERE THE CAMERAS WOULD BE PLACED AND THINGS

2:36:13 LIKE THAT.

2:36:14 AND OUR SECURITY WILL WORK WITH YOUR SECURITY AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

2:36:18 I WAS JUST PARTIALLY ASKING FOR MY OWN CURIOSITY, BUT THEN ALSO

2:36:22 YOU’LL HAVE YOUR PARENTS ASK THE SAME THING.

2:36:23 THAT’S ALL.

2:36:24 SO AS YOU’RE GOING THROUGH IT.

2:36:25 AND WE WOULD DEFINITELY MEET ANY STANDARDS THAT BEVARD COUNTY WANTS

2:36:29 TO HAVE.

2:36:29 YOU KNOW, WE WOULD MATCH OR EXCEED THAT AS WELL.

2:36:31 ABSOLUTELY.

2:36:32 AND THEN THERE WERE SOME QUESTIONS.

2:36:34 YOU HAD SAID THAT ONE OF YOU LIVED IN ST.

2:36:36 AUGUSTINE, ONE LIVED IN JACKSONVILLE.

2:36:38 YOU DIDN’T PLAN ON MOVING DOWN AT ALL?

2:36:40 NOT AS PARTICULARLY.

2:36:42 OKAY.

2:36:43 SO IT’S JUST AS THE BOARD MEMBERS, NO, NOT AS PARTICULARLY.

2:36:45 BUT YOU GUYS HAVE AN AFFILIATE THAT’S GOING TO WORK WITH SOME OF

2:36:48 OUR LOCAL PEOPLE TO CHOOSE.

2:36:50 RIGHT.

2:36:51 WE WOULD LIKE TO BRING MORE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, WE CAN’T RUN ALL

2:36:54 OF THIS WITH THREE PEOPLE.

2:36:54 SO WE WOULD LIKE TO DEFINITELY BRING ON MORE PEOPLE ONTO THE SCHOOL

2:36:58 BOARD.

2:36:58 BUT WE’D LIKE TO OPEN AND, YOU KNOW, INVITE PEOPLE FROM REVERA

2:37:02 COUNTY.

2:37:03 YEAH.

2:37:04 TO JOIN OUR SCHOOL BOARD.

2:37:05 DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY YOU’RE GOING TO PLAN ON PUTTING ON YOUR BOARD

2:37:07 EVENTUALLY?

2:37:08 FIVE TO SIX.

2:37:10 OKAY.

2:37:11 PROBABLY FIVE TO SEVEN.

2:37:12 OKAY.

2:37:13 AND THEN DO YOU GUYS, IS THERE A TIME THAT YOU GUYS PLAN ON BEING

2:37:17 AT LOCATION?

2:37:18 LIKE, IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU GUYS WAKE UP IN JACKSONVILLE

2:37:20 AND DRIVE DOWN?

2:37:21 ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO SPEND, LIKE, EVERY DAY, EVERY OTHER DAY,

2:37:24 ONCE A WEEK?

2:37:25 WHAT’S YOUR PLAN?

2:37:26 FOR SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS?

2:37:28 NO.

2:37:29 FOR THE ACTUAL MANAGEMENT OF THE – LIKE, ARE YOU GUYS GOING TO

2:37:33 BE ON SITE EVERY DAY?

2:37:34 OR ARE YOU GUYS –

2:37:35 WE’RE GOING TO HIRE AN ADMINISTRATOR AND WE’RE GOING TO HIRE THOSE

2:37:38 PEOPLE.

2:37:39 SO AS THE BOARD, BASICALLY, WE’RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

2:37:42 BUT DO WE – YOU KNOW, IS THE INTENTION – YES, ABSOLUTELY.

2:37:45 BECAUSE –

2:37:46 WE’RE GOING TO BE INVOLVED AS MUCH AS WELL.

2:37:48 ESPECIALLY EARLY.

2:37:49 WE WERE JUST SAYING, LIKE, MAYBE WE CAN GET A HOUSE.

2:37:50 IT’S REALLY NICE DOWN HERE.

2:37:51 BUT, LIKE –

2:37:52 I SAW YOUR ENERGY.

2:37:53 YEAH.

2:37:54 I CAN TELL YOU GUYS ARE EXCITED.

2:37:55 YEAH.

2:37:56 IT WAS REALLY – WE JUST LOVE THE AREA.

2:37:57 YEAH.

2:37:58 BUT, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL BOARD IS SUPPOSED TO

2:38:01 BE SOMEWHAT REMOVED

2:38:02 FROM THE OPERATIONS AND THE DAY-TO-DAY FUNCTIONING OF THE SCHOOL.

2:38:05 DON’T TELL US THAT.

2:38:06 WE’RE TRYING – WE’RE HOLDING OURSELVES – WE’RE HOLDING OURSELVES

2:38:09 BACK.

2:38:09 YEAH.

2:38:10 WOULD WE LIKE TO BE INVOLVED AS MUCH AS WE’RE INVITED TO?

2:38:12 ABSOLUTELY.

2:38:13 YEAH.

2:38:14 WE’RE HOLDING OURSELVES.

2:38:15 BUT OUR PRIMARY ROLE WOULD BE TO HIRE AN ADMINISTRATOR AND HIS,

2:38:18 YOU KNOW, AND HELP HIM WITH HIS

2:38:19 TEAM OF STAFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTREACH TO THE COMMUNITY IS

2:38:22 SATISFACTORY.

2:38:23 YOU GUYS PROBABLY – I LOOKED THROUGH IT AND I WAS TRYING TO FIND

2:38:27 IT.

2:38:28 THERE’S USUALLY, LIKE, A BUDGET BREAKDOWN, LIKE, YOU KNOW, OKAY,

2:38:31 YOU GET $8,000 FOR FTE.

2:38:33 HOW MUCH IT BREAKDOWN IS.

2:38:35 DO YOU KNOW – SO THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY, KEYSTONE, ARE THEY COMING

2:38:41 IN AND TURN KEY, THEY’RE

2:38:42 GOING TO PROVIDE THE FURNITURE, TAKE OVER THE LEASE, PROVIDE THE

2:38:46 SALARY, LIKE, IT’S TURN KEY,

2:38:48 KEYSTONE, OR IS THOSE – ARE YOU, LIKE, SIGNING A LEASE WITH A

2:38:51 DIFFERENT COMPANY?

2:38:52 YOU’RE SIGNING IT WITH THAT MAN – YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN?

2:38:55 LIKE, IS THERE A REAL ESTATE LEASE THAT IS SEPARATE?

2:38:57 IS THE ORDERING OF ALL OF THE FACILITIES AND, YOU KNOW, CHAIRS,

2:39:02 TABLES, ALL THAT SEPARATE?

2:39:03 AND THEN THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY SEPARATE?

2:39:05 ONE OF THE THINGS I’VE SEEN IN SOME OF OUR CHARTERS IS WHEN THEY’RE

2:39:09 ALL CONNECTED, IT BECOMES SOME

2:39:10 SORT – IT’S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT OF A TASTE, YOU KNOW WHAT I

2:39:13 MEAN?

2:39:13 THAT’S ALL.

2:39:14 CAN YOU GIVE ANY INSIGHT IN THAT?

2:39:16 I DON’T KNOW.

2:39:17 I DON’T KNOW EXACTLY.

2:39:18 I CAN’T ANSWER YOUR QUESTION SPECIFICALLY.

2:39:20 I KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT I’M GATHERING, BASED ON THE CONVERSATIONS

2:39:25 THAT WE’VE HAD,

2:39:26 AND WE HAVEN’T, I THINK, GOTTEN TO THAT POINT BECAUSE –

2:39:29 I’M ASKING A HEAD OF TIME.

2:39:33 I WISH MS.

2:39:34 DEVILLE WAS HERE BECAUSE I’M SURE SHE COULD ANSWER THAT, BECAUSE

2:39:34 IT’S

2:39:34 SURE.

2:39:35 SOMEWHERE IN THAT BINDER.

2:39:36 BUT IS THAT – IS THAT – THOSE EXPENDITURES ARE ALLOTTED FOR ALREADY

2:39:42 SO THAT THOSE

2:39:43 COSTS ARE – I WOULD BE CURIOUS, ON YOUR TAKE, YOU SORT OF SAID

2:39:48 –

2:39:48 IS THAT A BENEFIT WHEN YOU HAVE THE –

2:39:51 NO.

2:39:52 OKAY.

2:39:53 NOT A BENEFIT.

2:39:54 AS A GOVERNING BOARD, YOU WANT TO TRY TO CREATE AN ANOMALY WHERE

2:39:57 YOU CAN GET

2:39:57 TO THE BOTTOM OF EACH ONE OF THE PRICES.

2:39:59 AND WE’VE SEEN IN SOME CASES WHERE THE REAL ESTATE LEASES AND STUFF

2:40:03 LIKE THAT,

2:40:03 IF THEY’RE RUN BY CERTAIN ENTITIES LIKE THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY.

2:40:06 AND I’M – PLEASE, DON’T TELL ME – LIKE, I’M NOT TRYING TO –

2:40:08 NO, IT’S INFORMATIVE.

2:40:09 THE PROBLEM IS, IS THAT THEY’LL START PAYING TWO TO THREE TIMES

2:40:12 WITH THE GOING RATE.

2:40:13 THEY’LL CHARGE YOU TWO TO THREE TIMES WITH THE GOING RATE IS PER

2:40:16 SQUARE FOOT FOR A LEASE

2:40:18 IN THAT AREA.

2:40:19 AND THEN WHAT THEY’LL DO IS, IS THEY’LL ALSO TAKE CONTROL OF GIVING

2:40:22 YOU ALL OF THE FURNITURE

2:40:23 BUT THEN CHARGE YOU POINTS ON THE BACK END.

2:40:25 SO YOU END UP IN A, LIKE, A SITUATION WHERE YOU’RE WAY BEHIND

2:40:30 AND YOU JUST CAN NEVER GET OUT

2:40:31 OF IT.

2:40:32 RIGHT, YOU CAN’T CATCH UP.

2:40:33 MANAGEMENT FEE PER PERCENTAGE OF THE FTE IS ALSO AN OPPORTUNITY

2:40:36 TO TRY TO TAKE A LOOK

2:40:37 AT.

2:40:38 THERE’S A WIDE VARIETY HERE IN BRAVARD OF THAT.

2:40:41 LIKE, A MANAGEMENT FEE MIGHT CHARGE $400 PER KID IN ONE AND THEN

2:40:45 $800 PER KID IN ANOTHER.

2:40:47 SO JUST FROM BOARD TO BOARD, IF YOU EVER NEED ANY QUESTIONS ANSWERED,

2:40:50 FEEL FREE TO REACH

2:40:51 OUT TO ME.

2:40:52 I’M HERE FOR YOU.

2:40:53 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

2:40:54 THAT FINANCE BREAKDOWN IS SOMEWHERE YOU GUYS MAY WANT TO LOOK WHEN

2:40:57 YOU’RE A BOARD MEMBER

2:40:58 BECAUSE THAT’S WHERE SOMETIMES WHEN YOUR FINANCES ARE CONSTRAINED

2:41:02 BECAUSE OF THOSE THINGS GOING

2:41:04 ON, IT INHIBITS YOU FROM HIRING AT A SALARY OF A HIGHER SALARY

2:41:07 AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

2:41:08 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN YOU GUYS ARE TRYING TO DO, BECAUSE

2:41:11 STEM STUFF IS EXPENSIVE, YOU KNOW WHAT I

2:41:12 MEAN?

2:41:13 AND MONEY ALWAYS MATTERS.

2:41:14 YEAH, BUT I FOUND A LOT OF, AND I FOUND A LOT OF OUR CHARTERS

2:41:18 THAT ARE SUCCESSFUL HERE IN

2:41:19 THE COUNTY ARE USUALLY LIKE, BASICALLY HAVE THEIR LOCAL BOARDS

2:41:23 THAT ARE MANAGING THEM AND

2:41:24 STUFF LIKE THAT, BECAUSE THEN THEY HELP GIVE THAT FACE THAT YOU

2:41:27 MAY NOT HAVE BEING FROM OUT

2:41:28 OF TOWN, RIGHT?

2:41:29 SO THERE’S A LOT OF THE LOCALS THAT ARE A PART OF THIS.

2:41:32 SO I APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING INTO BRINGING ON LOCALS.

2:41:35 IF YOU GUYS EVER HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE REACH OUT.

2:41:37 I’D LIKE TO DO THAT, IF POSSIBLE.

2:41:39 AND LIKE, YOU KNOW, IT’S ALSO JUST GOOD TO KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT

2:41:41 WORKS.

2:41:42 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

2:41:44 BECAUSE IT REALLY HELPS US TO.

2:41:45 YOU’LL FIND THAT WE’RE NOT ONE OF THE DISTRICTS THAT’S TRYING TO,

2:41:48 LIKE, RUN DOWN TO THE

2:41:49 PERMIT OFFICE TO MAKE SURE YOU GUYS DON’T GET YOUR PERMITS,

2:41:51 RIGHT?

2:41:51 LIKE, WE WORK WITH YOU BECAUSE IF YOU’RE SUCCESSFUL, WE’RE ALL

2:41:54 SUCCESSFUL.

2:41:54 THE CHILDREN THAT ARE INSIDE YOUR CHARTER ARE GOING TO COME INTO

2:41:57 OUR SCHOOLS.

2:41:57 WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE WORKING TOGETHER.

2:41:59 I HAVE A FEELING WE’LL HAVE A GREAT RELATIONSHIP AND, YOU KNOW

2:42:02 WHAT I MEAN, LOOKING FORWARD TO

2:42:04 IT.

2:42:05 SO MS. CAMPBELL, THOUGH, HAD SOMETHING TO SAY?

2:42:06 YEAH, I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, AND I AM AT LEAST CURRENTLY,

2:42:10 UNTIL TONIGHT, THE

2:42:11 CHARTER SCHOOL LIAISON HAVE BEEN FOR THE LAST FOUR, FIVE YEARS.

2:42:14 SO I’M FAMILIAR WITH ALL OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS AND THE COMMUNITY.

2:42:18 I WILL JUST SAY THE INFORMATION YOU JUST FOUND OUT TODAY THAT

2:42:21 THERE WAS A CHARTER SCHOOL THERE

2:42:23 THAT ACTUALLY WAS NOT A GREAT GOODBYE.

2:42:27 IT WAS A DIFFICULT SITUATION IN OUR COUNTY, IN THE NORTH END.

2:42:31 AND SO WHEN YOU TALK, YOU SAID THE WORD TRUST AT SOME POINT IN

2:42:33 YOUR PRESENTATION.

2:42:34 YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE TO WORK HARD ON THAT, BECAUSE THERE WAS A

2:42:37 POINT IN TIME WHERE WE GOT

2:42:39 DOWN WHERE WE DIDN’T HAVE ANY DRF SCHOOLS EXCEPT FOR THAT SCHOOL.

2:42:43 THERE WAS A LOT OF MISMANAGEMENT GOING ON, A LOT OF LEGAL THINGS

2:42:46 THAT WE HAD TO DO, AND

2:42:47 I WON’T GET INTO ALL THAT TO END THAT RELATIONSHIP.

2:42:50 AND THEN, OF COURSE, THOSE FAMILIES, OUR DISTRICT SCHOOLS THEN

2:42:54 ABSORBED ALL THOSE FAMILIES

2:42:57 BACK INTO OUR SCHOOLS.

2:42:58 AND SO THE SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO BE A LITTLE JUMPY.

2:43:00 THE COMMUNITY WILL BE A LITTLE JUMPY.

2:43:02 IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU’RE BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS ALREADY.

2:43:05 BUT JUST SO YOU’RE AWARE.

2:43:07 I APPRECIATE THAT.

2:43:08 YOU’RE COMING IN BRAND NEW, DOING THIS.

2:43:10 THAT SCHOOL ALSO CAME IN BRAND NEW, DOING THAT.

2:43:12 AND I’M GLAD TO HEAR, ACTUALLY, THAT YOU DON’T HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP

2:43:14 WITH THEM,

2:43:15 BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A HARD THING FOR ME TO SAY YES.

2:43:19 HOWEVER, I DID WANT TO SAY, I WAS JUST CHECKING WITH MR. GIBS.

2:43:24 I THINK THAT BECAUSE YOUR BOARD HAS TO OPERATE UNDER SUNSHINE LAWS,

2:43:28 MAYBE NOT EXACTLY AT THE SAME LEVEL THAT WE DO, BUT I THINK YOUR

2:43:31 MEETINGS,

2:43:32 I DON’T THINK YOU’RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR BOARD MEETINGS

2:43:34 OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY.

2:43:35 RIGHT.

2:43:36 WE KNOW THAT.

2:43:37 OKAY.

2:43:38 SO YOU’LL BE HERE WHEN YOU’RE –

2:43:39 YES.

2:43:40 OKAY.

2:43:41 BECAUSE THAT WOULD MAKE IT A DIFFICULTY.

2:43:42 SO GOOD.

2:43:43 YOU’RE ON IT.

2:43:45 SO THAT WAS JUST SO YOU KNOW, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE GOOD TO GET A

2:43:48 LITTLE BIT OF THAT HISTORY

2:43:48 FROM SOMEWHERE UP IN THE NORTH END.

2:43:51 YEAH.

2:43:52 YOU KNOW.

2:43:53 BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE FAMILIES MOVED FROM ONE PLACE TO HERE AND

2:43:56 THEN THEY HAD TO GO BACK

2:43:57 AND, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THOSE FAMILIES ARE STILL AROUND.

2:44:00 BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY THREE YEARS AGO, I THINK, THAT WE DID THAT.

2:44:04 SO, THANK YOU.

2:44:05 AND YOU CAN TELL THEM THAT’S NOT YOU.

2:44:07 I’LL TELL YOU FROM YOUR ENERGY THAT YOU’RE NOT THOSE PEOPLE.

2:44:09 THEY STARTED THE ORGANIZATION IN THE WRONG WAY.

2:44:11 YOU’RE NOT DOING THAT.

2:44:12 SO, WHEN THEY COME UP TO YOU, JUST SAY, YEAH, THAT WAS JUST SOMETHING

2:44:15 ELSE.

2:44:15 LIKE, DON’T GET TIED TO IT.

2:44:17 YOU STILL HAVE TO BUILD – YOU KNOW, AND I GET THAT.

2:44:19 LIKE, I GET WHEN PEOPLE –

2:44:20 YOU KNOW, DON’T FOCUS ON THE NEGATIVE.

2:44:22 THAT ORGANIZATION AND THAT LEADERSHIP SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUTTING

2:44:26 CAPS AND HANDCUFFS AND HOLD OFF.

2:44:28 BUT YOU GUYS – I DON’T CARE.

2:44:30 BUT YOU GUYS ARE NOT THAT.

2:44:31 SO, DON’T EVEN HESITATE.

2:44:32 JUST REACH OUT TO US.

2:44:33 WE’RE HERE FOR YOU.

2:44:34 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

2:44:35 WE’LL WORK WITH YOU.

2:44:36 WE’RE GOOD.

2:44:37 ALL RIGHT.

2:44:38 ANYBODY ELSE?

2:44:39 MR. CHAIR, YEAH.

2:44:40 I WAS WONDERING IF DR. MEYER COULD COME UP AND KIND OF GIVE US A

2:44:43 LITTLE TIMELINE

2:44:44 ABOUT, LIKE, WHERE WE ARE IN THE PROCESS, WHAT’S HAPPENING NEXT,

2:44:47 THAT KIND OF THING.

2:44:48 YOU DON’T HAVE TO BRING THE BOOK.

2:44:51 JUST SO WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT OF WHERE WE ARE, WHAT

2:44:54 THE NEXT STEPS ARE, AND THAT KIND OF THING.

2:44:56 SO, I DEVELOPED A TEAM OF ALL THE HEADS OF THE DEPARTMENT.

2:45:00 I’M NOT SURE IF THAT’S ON.

2:45:05 OKAY.

2:45:06 THE HEADS OF THE DEPARTMENT, AND WE’RE NOW REVIEWING IT.

2:45:09 AND WE WILL GET TOGETHER AT THE END OF NOVEMBER TO DISCUSS IF

2:45:13 ANYONE HAD ANY QUESTIONS FOR, YOU KNOW, THE WHOLE GROUP OR ANYTHING

2:45:17 LIKE THAT.

2:45:17 AND THEN WE’LL HAVE A CAPACITY INTERVIEW WHERE WE ASK ALL THE

2:45:20 QUESTIONS THAT CAME UP WHILE REVIEWING AND FOR THE PORTIONS.

2:45:26 AND THEY’RE AWARE OF THAT.

2:45:27 I’VE GIVEN THEM A TIMELINE.

2:45:28 SOME OF THE SAME QUESTIONS YOU GUYS WERE COMING UP WITH.

2:45:30 WE’LL ANSWER.

2:45:31 WE’LL ANSWER THAT.

2:52:39 WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR

2:52:40 OUR DISTRICT IF THE ENTIRE

2:52:41 DISTRICT WAS TO GO YEAR-ROWN

2:52:42 SCHOOL?

2:52:43 I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO GET

2:52:44 FEEDBACK AND SEE WHAT YOUR

2:52:46 LEADERS ARE SAYING AT THEIR

2:52:47 SCHOOL SITES.

2:52:48 TALK TO PARENTS.

2:52:49 AND THEN THIS IS A

2:52:50 CONVERSATION WE’LL CONTINUE

2:52:51 TO HAVE WHEN WE TALK ABOUT

2:52:52 THE CALENDAR AGAIN IN

2:52:53 DECEMBER.

2:52:54 THAT’S ALL.

2:52:55 ANYBODY OKAY WITH THAT?

2:52:57 YEAR-ROWN SCHOOL?

2:52:59 WE DON’T WANT THE

2:53:01 HEADLINE TO SAY WE’RE

2:53:02 GOING TO DO YEAR-ROWN

2:53:03 SCHOOL.

2:53:04 THAT’S WHAT IT WILL SAY

2:53:05 ANYWAY.

2:53:06 THE CONVERSATION WRAPPED

2:53:07 AROUND LOOKING AT IT AS AN

2:53:08 OPPORTUNITY IS ALWAYS GOOD

2:53:09 FOR OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.

2:53:10 I THINK THAT’S SOMETHING

2:53:11 WE SHOULD DO.

2:53:12 YEAH.

2:53:13 I’LL BE READY WITH MY NOTES

2:53:16 FROM MY ADMINISTRATORS

2:53:17 AND PARENTS.

2:53:18 OKAY?

2:53:19 EVERYBODY ELSE OKAY?

2:53:21 ALL RIGHT.

2:53:22 SO WE’RE GOING TO GO ON

2:53:23 TO THE 9,000.

2:53:24 WE’VE BEEN TRYING TO DO

2:53:25 THESE THINGS FOR A COUPLE

2:53:26 OF TERMS.

2:53:27 AND WHAT I DID WAS I JUST

2:53:29 WENT TO LIKE THE FIRST

2:53:30 ONE WHICH WAS 9700.

2:53:32 IS EVERYBODY OKAY?

2:53:33 WHY DID YOU DO THAT

2:53:34 OUT OF ORDER?

2:53:35 I HAVE NO IDEA.

2:53:36 BUT IF YOU GUYS ARE OKAY

2:53:37 WITH JUST GOING AND BUY

2:53:38 THAT BIG OLD THING,

2:53:39 THEN IT’S 95 PAGES LONG.

2:53:40 WE CAN JUST KIND OF

2:53:41 ROLL THROUGH IT.

2:53:42 SO THE FIRST ONE UP

2:53:43 IS 9700,

2:53:44 RELATIONS WITH THE

2:53:45 SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS.

2:53:46 GOES THROUGH

2:53:47 AND IT HAS TWO OPTIONS

2:53:48 INSIDE OF THERE.

2:53:49 AND IT GOES –

2:53:50 YEAH.

2:53:51 IF YOU GUYS WANT TO

2:53:51 TAKE A SECOND

2:53:52 AND GO THROUGH IT.

2:53:53 OKAY.

2:53:54 DR. RINDELL,

2:53:56 I’M PROBABLY GOING TO

2:53:57 ASK YOU, LIKE,

2:53:58 WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS

2:53:59 ON SOME OF THESE?

2:54:00 AND I’M GOING TO

2:54:01 PROBABLY ASK MR.

2:54:02 BRUNE TO TELL US

2:54:03 HIS THOUGHTS ON THESE

2:54:04 THINGS.

2:54:05 THE REASON IS IS THAT

2:54:06 THERE’S A COUPLE THAT

2:54:07 HAVE MULTIPLE OPTIONS,

2:54:08 THERE’S A COUPLE THAT

2:54:09 HAVE, YOU KNOW,

2:54:10 THAT MEAN THOSE NEOLA’S

2:54:12 AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

2:54:13 SO IS EVERYBODY

2:54:14 LOADED UP?

2:54:15 YEAH, I’M READY TO GO.

2:54:16 I’LL TAKE MY TIME.

2:54:17 YOU TAKE –

2:54:18 YOU MIGHT WANT –

2:54:19 THIS IS BIG TIME RIGHT NOW.

2:54:21 SO ARE YOU ASKING

2:54:22 FOR OUR INPUT ON THIS

2:54:23 YET?

2:54:24 MS. JENKINS,

2:54:25 ARE YOU GOOD?

2:54:26 ALL RIGHT.

2:54:28 SO WE’RE ALL GOOD TO GO.

2:54:30 9,700 RELATIONS

2:54:31 WITH SPECIAL INTEREST

2:54:32 GROUPS.

2:54:33 IF YOU LOOK AT IT,

2:54:34 IT GIVES A COUPLE OF

2:54:35 OPTIONS.

2:54:36 MR. BRUNE,

2:54:37 YOU WANT TO TAKE –

2:54:38 GIVE US YOUR

2:54:39 SUGGESTIONS HERE?

2:54:41 MY SUGGESTION IS

2:54:43 WE DON’T HAVE ANY

2:54:44 CHANGES TO OUR CURRENT

2:54:45 POLICY BASED ON NEOLA.

2:54:49 MS. ON 9,700?

2:54:54 I HAVE THAT THERE’S

2:54:55 A LOT OF –

2:54:56 THERE WAS SEVERAL

2:54:57 THINGS UPDATED.

2:54:58 I DON’T HAVE THEM

2:54:59 SIDE-BY-SIDE LIKE I

2:55:00 USUALLY DO.

2:55:01 MR. OKAY.

2:55:02 MS. IT SEEMS

2:55:03 LIKE NEOLA HAD QUITE –

2:55:04 NEOLA HAD UPDATED –

2:55:05 OURS WAS IN 2010.

2:55:06 theirs was –

2:55:07 THEIR MOST RECENT

2:55:08 WAS IN 2016.

2:55:10 AND –

2:55:12 PART OF ME BECAUSE IT’S

2:55:13 BEEN A FEW WEEKS SINCE I

2:55:14 WROTE MY NOTES.

2:55:15 I’M TRYING TO REMEMBER

2:55:16 WHAT I –

2:55:17 MR. I HAD TO LITERALLY

2:55:18 GO BACK TO MY NOTES

2:55:19 AND REWRITE THEM.

2:55:20 MS. YEAH.

2:55:21 OPTION – I HAD WRITTEN

2:55:22 OPTION TWO AND THEN

2:55:23 EXAMPLES WITH A QUESTION

2:55:24 MARK.

2:55:25 AND ALSO WE DON’T HAVE

2:55:26 AN ADMINISTRATIVE

2:55:27 PROCEDURE AND WE DID

2:55:28 AN ADMINISTRATIVE

2:55:29 PROCEDURE ON THIS ONE.

2:55:30 SO WE –

2:55:33 I DON’T KNOW THAT OURS

2:55:34 HAS THAT CLEARLY DELINEATED

2:55:40 ABOUT THE MATERIALS.

2:55:45 WHERE DID IT GO?

2:55:48 SO YOU’RE JUST SUGGESTING

2:55:49 THAT WE DON’T ADD ANY OF

2:55:50 THE THINGS THAT NEOLA HAS

2:55:51 IN THERE THAT WE DON’T

2:55:52 HAVE.

2:55:53 FROM MY READING,

2:55:54 I’M WELCOME TO GO BACK

2:55:55 AND LOOK AT IT AGAIN,

2:55:57 BUT WHAT WE HAVE IS

2:55:58 SUFFICIENT AND NEOLA’S

2:56:00 UPDATE DOESN’T CHANGE IN

2:56:03 DIRECTION OF WHAT OUR

2:56:04 CURRENT POLICY IS.

2:56:05 MS. OK.

2:56:06 EXCEPT FOR IF OURS –

2:56:09 I THINK OURS SAID

2:56:10 SOMETHING ABOUT AN

2:56:11 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE.

2:56:12 MR. YEAH.

2:56:13 THE AP CAN BE ADDED

2:56:16 OBVIOUSLY IF IT CALLS

2:56:17 FOR IT, WHICH –

2:56:18 MS. I DON’T REMEMBER

2:56:20 BECAUSE IT’S BEEN SO

2:56:21 LONG SINCE I DID MY

2:56:22 NOSE.

2:56:23 I DON’T REMEMBER IF IT

2:56:24 WAS BECAUSE OUR POLICY

2:56:25 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE

2:56:26 OR IF THE NEOLA ONE

2:56:27 SAID IT NEEDS TO HAVE

2:56:28 ONE, BUT I’M LOOKING

2:56:29 REALLY QUICK.

2:56:30 AND I SHOULD HAVE –

2:56:33 I TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE

2:56:34 GONE BACK THROUGH MY

2:56:35 NOTES.

2:56:36 MR. IT’S OKAY.

2:56:37 LISTEN.

2:56:38 YOU DO YOU.

2:56:39 MR. GIVE US A SECOND

2:56:40 HERE, MR. –

2:56:42 MS. YEAH.

2:56:43 I’M NOT SEEING IT

2:56:44 EITHER.

2:56:45 I THINK THAT WAS IN

2:56:46 THE NEOLA.

2:56:47 YEAH.

2:56:48 I THINK IT WAS IN

2:56:49 THE NEOLA.

2:56:50 SO I’M FINE WITH THAT.

2:56:52 I’M GOING TO GET DOWN HERE

2:56:53 TO 9700.

2:56:54 WORKING WITH SPECIAL

2:56:55 INTEREST GROUPS.

2:56:56 ALL RIGHT.

2:56:57 OK.

2:56:58 SO I’M HEARING A COUPLE OF

2:57:02 THINGS.

2:57:03 MS. CAMPBELL, YOU’RE

2:57:04 SAYING THAT NEOLA HAD

2:57:05 SOME UPDATES.

2:57:06 ARE THOSE BASED UPON

2:57:07 UPDATES INTO STATE

2:57:08 STATUTES?

2:57:09 OR ARE THEY UPDATES?

2:57:10 BECAUSE I’M TRYING TO

2:57:12 READ BOTH TOO.

2:57:13 THERE’S ONE STATUTE.

2:57:14 THERE’S ONE STATUTE REFERENCE

2:57:15 AT THE BOTTOM OF THE

2:57:16 TEMPLATE.

2:57:17 SALE OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES.

2:57:18 ALL OF THESE OTHER THINGS.

2:57:19 ALL OF THESE OTHERS.

3:06:36 YEAH.

3:06:37 IF ANYWHERE IT SAYS SUPERINTENDENT.

3:06:38 WE SHOULD JUST CHANGE IT TO THE BOARD.

3:06:39 OKAY.

3:06:40 SO.

3:06:41 ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING?

3:06:44 NO.

3:06:45 GO AHEAD.

3:06:46 ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WAS LOOKING AT IS.

3:06:47 IS THAT.

3:06:48 WE HAVE A LOT OF LIKE ADVISORY COMMITTEES.

3:06:50 AND BOARDS.

3:06:51 AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

3:06:52 BUT THERE’S NO LIKE MASTER LIST.

3:06:53 SOMEWHERE THAT WE CAN GO TO.

3:06:54 BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE SOME ADVISORY LISTS.

3:06:56 AND BOARDS.

3:06:57 AND THERE’S.

3:06:58 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

3:06:59 LIKE THERE’S NO.

3:07:00 SO YOU HAVE THE BOOK COMMITTEE.

3:07:01 AND YOU HAVE SIAC.

3:07:02 AND YOU HAVE THOSE.

3:07:03 YOU HAVE THE AUDIT COMMITTEE.

3:07:04 YOU HAVE THOSE.

3:07:06 BUT THEN YOU ALSO HAVE LIKE SUPERINTENDENT HAS.

3:07:09 HIS STUDENT COUNCIL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.

3:07:11 AND ALL OF THOSE.

3:07:12 THERE’S.

3:07:13 THERE’S NO ONE REAL PLACE THAT ALL OF THAT’S AT.

3:07:14 TO LOOK AT.

3:07:15 AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE.

3:07:17 COMMITTEES AND STUFF LIKE THAT.

3:07:18 SO THE PEOPLE ARE AWARE OF THEM.

3:07:19 AND THEY WANTED TO ATTEND.

3:07:20 AND LOOK AT IT.

3:07:21 BUT I.

3:07:22 THAT WAS THE FIRST THING.

3:07:23 IS IF THERE’S A WAY THAT WE CAN GET A LIST.

3:07:25 YOU MAY NOT WANT TO PUT THE NAMES OF THE INDIVIDUALS ON THERE.

3:07:27 JUST THE COMMITTEE ITSELF.

3:07:29 ACTUALLY.

3:07:30 MR.

3:07:31 SUSAN.

3:07:32 IN OUR BFT CONTRACT THAT WE’RE APPROVING TONIGHT.

3:07:33 THE NEW LANGUAGE THAT WE ALL.

3:07:34 THEY ALL AGREE TO SAYS.

3:07:35 THE DISTRICT WILL PROVIDE A LIST OF ALL COMMITTEES.

3:07:37 THIS WON’T APPLY TO THE STUDENTS.

3:07:38 AND MEMBERS.

3:07:39 AND PUBLISH IT ON THE DISTRICT WEBSITE.

3:07:41 THE LABOR RELATIONS PAGE.

3:07:42 THE LIST WILL BE UPDATED WHEN A NEW COMMITTEE IS FORMED.

3:07:44 OR A CURRENT COMMITTEE IS DISBANDED.

3:07:45 RIGHT.

3:07:46 AND THAT’S GREAT.

3:07:47 BUT THERE’S ALSO SOME OTHER ONES THAT ARE THERE THAT.

3:07:49 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

3:07:50 LIKE THE STUDENTS AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER ONES THAT WE NEED TO ADD

3:07:53 TO IT.

3:07:53 SO IF THERE’S A WAY THAT WE CAN GET THAT DONE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

3:07:56 THE OTHER THING I WAS GOING TO SAY IS THIS IS A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY

3:07:59 FOR US TO TALK ABOUT

3:08:00 THE PROTECTION OF OUR ACTUAL ADVISORS THAT ARE SITTING ON OUR

3:08:04 COMMITTEES.

3:08:05 IT’S BEEN A LONG ARGUMENT THAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SITTING ON THE

3:08:08 COMMITTEE AND THEN THEY’RE BEING ATTACKED IN THE PUBLIC.

3:08:11 AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THERE’S AN OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR US TO KIND

3:08:15 OF SAY WE WOULD LIKE TO

3:08:16 BECAUSE THEY ARE ACTING INSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

3:08:19 THAT IF THERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS DONE

3:08:21 TO THEM IN THEIR CAPACITY AS A COMMITTEE MEMBER THAT WE SHOULD

3:08:25 BE ABLE TO DEFEND THEM.

3:08:27 I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS ARE.

3:08:28 PAUL, I’D LOVE TO HAVE YOUR ENGAGEMENT ON THAT.

3:08:30 BUT THIS WAS A BIG STAR FOR ME LAST TIME WHEN I WAS LOOKING THROUGH

3:08:33 THIS IS TO FIND THAT OUT.

3:08:34 BECAUSE THERE’S PEOPLE THAT WILL NO LONGER BE A PART OF OUR COMMITTEES.

3:08:38 AND THIS GOES BACK EIGHT YEARS BECAUSE THEY GET ATTACKED FOR BEING

3:08:43 ON THE COMMITTEE.

3:08:44 AND THEN IN SOME CASES PEOPLE ARE CRAZY ABOUT IT AND RUINS THEIR

3:08:48 LIVES.

3:08:49 AND SO NOW IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN PROTECT THEM?

3:08:52 A WAY THAT WE CAN SAY THIS IS WRONG IN FILES.

3:08:55 I DON’T KNOW.

3:08:56 I’D LIKE TO HEAR YOUR GUYS’ THOUGHTS AND THEN WE CAN TURN THE PHONE.

3:09:01 WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

3:09:02 I THINK THIS IS A TOUCHY ONE.

3:09:05 AT THIS DAY AND AGE, ANYBODY THAT GOES ON THE COMMITTEE KNOWS

3:09:08 THEY’RE SUBJECT TO ALL THE FUN THINGS THAT COME WITH PUBLIC EDUCATION.

3:09:12 IT’S HIGHLY CONTROVERSIAL.

3:09:13 PEOPLE ARE ATTACKING.

3:09:14 AND SO I THINK THE POWER THAT THE BOARD HAS IS THEY CAN DISBAND

3:09:18 A COMMITTEE AND SAY, OKAY, IF THE PUBLIC IS GOING TO ATTACK INDIVIDUALS,

3:09:22 THEN WE’LL TAKE BACK THE POWER.

3:09:24 WE’LL NO LONGER DO A COMMITTEE.

3:09:25 AND THAT’S HOW WE STOP IT.

3:09:26 I DON’T LOVE THAT.

3:09:27 I WOULD LOVE FOR THE PUBLIC TO BE RESPECTFUL AND MAKE SURE THAT

3:09:30 THEY’RE HONORING THE PEOPLE THAT ARE SERVING THEIR TIME, THEY’RE

3:09:33 DEDICATING THEIR TIME TO MAKE OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM BETTER.

3:09:36 BUT I DON’T KNOW – I’M NOT REALLY CLEAR ON WHAT YOUR THOUGHTS

3:09:39 ARE ON HOW PAUL – WHAT YOU’RE ASKING PAUL EXACTLY.

3:09:42 ARE YOU ASKING HIM TO PURSUE, LIKE, LEGAL ACTION AGAINST INDIVIDUALS

3:09:46 THAT ARE ATTACKING PEOPLE OR WHAT?

3:09:48 SO SOMETIMES IT’S NOT EVEN INDIVIDUALS.

3:09:50 THERE HAS BEEN IN RECENT NEWS AND EVEN IN SOME OF THE STUFF THAT

3:09:54 GOES ON AROUND HERE, THERE’S ORGANIZATIONS AND COMPANIES THAT

3:09:57 ARE PAID TO CREATE SOCIAL MEDIA, FAKE SOCIAL MEDIAS, AND GO AFTER

3:10:03 PEOPLE.

3:10:03 AND THERE’S ACTUALLY PEOPLE THAT WILL CALL, DO PHONE CALLS, DO

3:10:06 EVERYTHING.

3:10:07 LIKE, THIS IS PART OF A GAME THAT INDIVIDUALS ARE PAID FOR.

3:10:11 AND WHEN THEY’RE TARGETING OUR PEOPLE, IT PISSES ME OFF.

3:10:14 AND I’LL BE HONEST WITH YOU, THIS ISN’T SOMETHING THAT’S FAKE.

3:10:18 LIKE, THERE ARE ORGANIZATIONS OUT THERE THAT GET PAID TO CREATE

3:10:22 CHAOS INSIDE OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

3:10:24 THAT’S A FACT.

3:10:25 AND THEY CREATE FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS, THEY DO ALL THAT STUFF,

3:10:28 AND THEN THEY GO ATTACK PEOPLE AT THEIR SCHOOLS.

3:10:31 THEY ATTACK THEM AT THEIR WORKPLACE.

3:10:33 THEY ATTACK THEM IN DIFFERENT PLACES.

3:10:35 AND IT’S B.S.

3:10:36 AND IT’S SOMETIMES PHONE CALLS FROM OUTSIDE THE STATE AND EVERYTHING

3:10:39 ELSE.

3:10:39 I THINK WE SHOULD PROTECT PEOPLE.

3:10:41 THAT’S JUST MY THING.

3:10:43 SO I’M NOT SURE THAT THAT FALLS INTO THE SCOPE OF THIS POLICY,

3:10:47 JUST FOR OUR CONVERSATION TO KEEP IT MOVING ALONG.

3:10:50 I WANT TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION.

3:10:52 WELL, I UNDERSTAND YOU.

3:10:53 BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE’S NOTHING THAT WOULD, I DON’T THINK, THAT WOULD

3:10:55 PROHIBIT SOMEONE WHO THEY WERE BEING DEFAMED OR WHATEVER FROM FOLLOWING

3:11:00 THEIR OWN LAWSUIT.

3:11:00 CORRECT, PAUL?

3:11:01 RIGHT, YEAH, I DON’T KNOW THAT WE WOULD HAVE STANDING ON BEHALF

3:11:04 OF THE SCHOOL BOARD IF THEY’RE ATTACKING INDIVIDUALS.

3:11:07 RIGHT.

3:11:08 SO, I MEAN, THOSE ARE GOING TO BE CASE-BY-CASE ANALYSES THAT IT’S

3:11:13 GOING TO BE HARD TO ADDRESS IN A BROAD SCOPE.

3:11:16 SO, IF SOMEBODY’S GETTING ATTACKED, WE WOULD HAVE TO EVALUATE ON

3:11:18 EACH ONE.

3:11:19 AND THEN IT WOULD BE, AGAIN, I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S BEING ASKED.

3:11:22 SO, IT’S LIKE, WHAT DOES DEFEND MEAN?

3:11:25 SO, IF YOU SAY, HEY, GO FILE A LAWSUIT TO GET AN INJUNCTION AGAINST

3:11:29 SOMEBODY, THAT WOULD BE THE BOARD DIRECTIVE.

3:11:32 I ALSO, I DON’T LIKE THE IDEA OF MAKING POLICY BASED ON SPECIFIC

3:11:36 WORST-CASE SCENARIO.

3:11:38 I’M GOING TO TAKE THOSE INTO CONSIDERATION.

3:11:39 BUT, I MEAN, I ALSO THINK ABOUT, LIKE, OUR DISCIPLINE COMMITTEE

3:11:41 THAT HAS BEEN REVIVED.

3:11:42 AND THAT, FROM ALL THINGS THAT I HAVE HEARD, IT’S GOING REALLY WELL.

3:11:46 AND, YOU KNOW, I HAVEN’T HEARD ABOUT THAT KIND OF THING.

3:11:50 I MEAN, OBVIOUSLY THE BOOK CHALLENGE.

3:11:51 BUT WE WORKED ON THAT, BOARD.

3:11:53 WE’VE REFINED THAT PROCESS TO TRY TO REMOVE THE POTENTIAL FOR ABUSE

3:11:58 AS MUCH AS WE CAN.

3:12:00 I DON’T KNOW THAT WE CAN EVER TRULY ELIMINATE IT.

3:12:02 YEAH.

3:12:03 JUST BECAUSE, LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT MISS WRIGHT SAID, JUST THE NATURE

3:12:06 OF THE BEAST.

3:12:07 OKAY.

3:12:08 SO, ANYWAYS.

3:12:09 SO, IF WE HAVE SOMEBODY WHO IS ON ONE OF OUR COMMITTEES, THEY

3:12:11 ARE BEING ATTACKED BY SOMEBODY

3:12:14 THAT IS EITHER IN OR OUTSIDE OF THE COMMITTEE, I THINK THERE’S A

3:12:17 WAY TO ADDRESS THAT.

3:12:19 AND, PAUL, I’D LIKE TO HEAR HOW OUR BOARD WOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS

3:12:23 THAT.

3:12:24 IF WE DECIDED THAT THIS IS ENOUGH, WE NEED TO HAVE BETTER BEHAVIOR,

3:12:28 HOW WOULD WE ADDRESS THAT?

3:12:29 IS THERE A WAY FOR YOU TO SEND A CASE AND DESIST TO THE INDIVIDUAL

3:12:32 THAT’S DOING IT AS THEY’RE ATTACKING?

3:12:33 IS THAT OUTSIDE OF OUR SCOPE?

3:12:34 I’D LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT.

3:12:35 I MEAN, IT’S GOING TO DEPEND ON THE SPECIFICS OF THE CASE.

3:12:38 IF THEY’RE JUST PUBLICLY SAYING THAT THIS COMMITTEE’S WRONG AND

3:12:42 EVIL AND EXPRESSING THEIR OPINIONS,

3:12:44 THAT’S PROTECTED INFORMATION, I DON’T KNOW THAT YOU’RE GOING TO

3:12:47 BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ON THAT.

3:12:49 THAT’S NOT THE QUESTION.

3:12:50 IF THEY’RE CALLING PEOPLE NAMES ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AGAIN, THERE’S

3:12:54 COURT CASES THAT SAY FIRST AMENDMENT.

3:12:56 SO IT’S GOING TO BE – I WOULD NEED SPECIFICS TO GIVE YOU A SPECIFIC

3:13:00 ANSWER TO EACH SITUATION.

3:13:02 I WOULD HAVE TO ANALYZE EACH SPECIFIC SITUATION.

3:13:04 SO SAY THERE’S A PERSON THAT’S SITTING ON OUR COMMITTEE.

3:13:07 THEY’RE BEING ATTACKED AT THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS WHERE THEY WORK

3:13:10 BECAUSE THEY WERE ON THAT COMMITTEE

3:13:13 BY INDIVIDUALS CALLING, SHOWING UP, AND DOING STUFF.

3:13:16 DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEND THE CITIZEN’S ASSIST IN THAT CASE?

3:13:19 NOT SOCIAL MEDIA, BECAUSE WE GET IT, RIGHT?

3:13:22 THAT WOULD BE CHASING AFTER TAILS, BUT THERE’S A COORDINATED EFFORT

3:13:25 TO DO THOSE KIND OF THINGS.

3:13:26 CAN YOU SEND A CASE AND DESIST?

3:13:28 ESPECIALLY IF IT’S A COORDINATED EFFORT BY A COMPANY.

3:13:30 RIGHT, YOU COULD SEND A LETTER ANY TIME, JUST SENDING A LETTER.

3:13:35 I DON’T KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE ANY REAL LEGAL TEETH TO IT.

3:13:39 IF THEY’RE ON ANOTHER PERSON’S BUSINESS, IT SEEMS LIKE THAT WOULD

3:13:42 BE MORE OF A TRESPASSING THAT THAT BUSINESS COULD FILE.

3:13:45 I DON’T KNOW THAT I WOULD HAVE STANDING TO FILE ON BEHALF OF

3:13:50 THAT BUSINESS.

3:13:51 I DON’T REPRESENT THAT BUSINESS.

3:13:53 SO IF THERE’S A COORDINATED EFFORT BY A BUSINESS TO ATTACK AN INDIVIDUAL

3:13:58 AT THEIR PLACE OF BUSINESS,

3:14:00 THERE’S NO WAY TO SOMEHOW PUT TEETH IN SOMETHING AND GO AFTER

3:14:03 THAT BUSINESS?

3:14:04 IF THEY’RE TRESPASSING, WE DON’T HAVE STANDING TO FILE ON BEHALF

3:14:10 OF ANOTHER ENTITY.

3:14:12 I’M HAVING A REAL HARD TIME STAYING.

3:14:15 I’M PUTTING THE SCENARIO TOGETHER.

3:14:16 I’M TRYING TO STAY WITH YOU, BUT I MEAN, IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE

3:14:19 A VERY SPECIFIC SITUATION.

3:14:20 NO, NO, NO.

3:14:21 I’M TRYING TO – NO, WHAT I’M DOING IS I’M TRYING TO –

3:14:23 SO I DON’T WANT TO WORK OFF OF HYPOTHETICALS.

3:14:25 HYPOTHETICALS WOULD BE WHAT WE WERE SEEING ON SOME OF OUR COMMITIES,

3:14:29 BUT I’M TRYING TO GET TO A PLACE

3:14:31 IT, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT WOULD ALLOW US TO DO IT?

3:14:33 THAT’S WHAT I’M DOING.

3:14:34 I’M PUTTING TOGETHER HYPOTHETICALS THAT WOULD SAY IN THE EVENT

3:14:36 THAT THIS HAPPENED, THIS EXTREME ISSUE,

3:14:38 IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DO IT?

3:14:40 IF THERE’S – IF IT’S AN ATTACK ON OUR PROPERTY, THEY CAN ALWAYS

3:14:43 BE TRESPASSED FROM OUR PROPERTY.

3:14:45 AND SO, I MEAN, AGAIN, IT’S ALL – WHAT ARE THE FACTS OF THE SITUATION?

3:14:49 IF THEY’RE REMOVED FROM THE DISTRICT AND THE DISTRICT’S PROCESSES,

3:14:53 WE GET MORE LIMITED IN WHAT WE CAN DO.

3:14:56 IF IT BECOMES, YOU KNOW, PERSONAL OR IF THEY’RE ATTACKING – IF

3:14:58 THEY’RE SHOWING UP AT SOMEONE’S BUSINESS,

3:15:01 THAT’S NOT OUR – WE DON’T CONTROL THAT.

3:15:04 IT MAY BE BECAUSE THEY’RE PARTICIPATING IN A DISTRICT PROCESS,

3:15:08 BUT THAT’S SOMETHING THE BUSINESS –

3:15:10 IT’S SOMETHING WE COULD LOOK AT IF IT COMES UP, CERTAINLY, AND

3:15:13 EVALUATE IT AT THAT TIME, BASED ON THE FACTS.

3:15:16 MAYBE WORK WITH THE BUSINESS IF THEY WANT SOME ASSISTANCE.

3:15:20 IF THE BOARD WANTS TO FUND, YOU KNOW, HEY, WE WILL FUND AN ATTORNEY

3:15:24 TO FILE ON BEHALF OF THIS MEMBER AND THAT BUSINESS.

3:15:29 I THINK, MR. SUSAN, JUST LIKE WHAT I WAS SAYING, THE ONLY POWER

3:15:33 THAT WE REALLY RETAIN HERE –

3:15:34 BECAUSE AS MUCH AS, YOU KNOW, FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS A REALLY FUN

3:15:38 THING TO SAY WE ALL LOVE UNTIL YOU’RE BEING ATTACKED,

3:15:40 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BECOMES A LITTLE MORE CHALLENGING TO

3:15:42 REALLY DEFEND IT.

3:15:43 AND THE ONLY POWER THAT WE RETAIN IS TO DISSOLVE A COMMITTEE,

3:15:47 AND THAT ELIMINATES THE INDIVIDUALS FROM HAVING THAT THREAT,

3:15:50 BECAUSE IT PUTS IT BACK TO US.

3:15:52 AND, I MEAN, WE ALL SIGNED UP FOR THIS.

3:15:54 WE KNEW WHAT WE SIGNED UP FOR.

3:15:55 OUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE DIFFERENT.

3:15:57 AND I DON’T LIKE IT.

3:15:58 I DON’T LOVE IT.

3:15:59 TRUST ME.

3:16:00 AND I WISH THE PUBLIC WAS – DIDN’T ACT IN THIS WAY, BUT THAT IS

3:16:04 THE REALITY OF WHERE WE’RE AT.

3:16:05 SO I DON’T –

3:16:06 OKAY.

3:16:07 ALL RIGHT.

3:16:08 WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE’S NO TEETH IN ANYTHING THAT I CAN THROW

3:16:10 OUT THERE.

3:16:11 SO –

3:16:12 SORRY.

3:16:13 I WISH I COULD –

3:16:14 NO, NO, NO.

3:16:15 I WANTED TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION, AND I APPRECIATE IT, PAUL,

3:16:18 FOR HAVING THAT.

3:16:18 IT’S JUST THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE –

3:16:20 YOU KNOW, I MEAN, LIKE, LOOK, I’VE HAD MY CAR KEYED TWICE SINCE

3:16:24 WE’VE BEEN HERE.

3:16:25 I’VE HAD PEOPLE THAT CALL MY OFF TO A PLACE OF BUSINESS.

3:16:27 PEOPLE LAUGH AT THEM.

3:16:28 BUT THE THING IS IS THAT, LIKE, IT’S A COORDINATED EFFORT.

3:16:31 AND WE DO IT.

3:16:32 AND I’M OKAY.

3:16:33 LIKE, I GET IT.

3:16:34 IT’S PART OF BEING HERE.

3:16:35 BUT PEOPLE WHO COME IN TO SUPPORT US NEED TO HAVE SOME SUPPORT

3:16:38 AND PROTECTION.

3:16:39 SO MAYBE THAT’S JUST US CALLING PEOPLE OUT.

3:16:41 BUT THANK YOU FOR GOING THROUGH THAT, PAUL.

3:16:43 NO, IF THEY’RE KEYING CARS AND THINGS, THAT’S VANDALISM.

3:16:46 THAT’S A REPORT TO THE COPS, AND YOU FILE A REPORT, AND YOU HAVE

3:16:49 THOSE AVENUES.

3:16:51 SO, LIKE, IF THEY’RE THREATENING LIVES OR HARM TO SOMEBODY, AGAIN,

3:16:54 THAT’S A POLICE REPORT

3:16:55 THAT YOU FILE AND GO THAT WAY.

3:16:58 IF THEY’RE JUST – USUALLY OUR STUFF IS VERBAL ATTACKS AND NOT NECESSARILY

3:17:02 THREATENING.

3:17:03 IT’S JUST THEM SPEAKING THEIR MIND.

3:17:04 IT’S WHAT IT IS, MAN.

3:17:05 I APPRECIATE YOU.

3:17:06 I JUST WANTED TO GET DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF IT.

3:17:08 OKAY.

3:17:09 ALL RIGHT.

3:17:10 SO, WHAT I’M SEEING IS, IS THERE ANY CHANGES THAT YOU GUYS WANT

3:17:14 TO DO ON THE CITIZENS ADVISORY

3:17:15 COMMITTEE?

3:17:16 DID YOU WANT TO – IT SOUNDS LIKE DR.

3:17:17 RINDELL WANTS TO HAVE THE BOARD ACTUALLY DO THE –

3:17:19 YEAH, WE JUST CHANGE THAT LANGUAGE.

3:17:21 SUPERINTENDENT TO THE BOARD.

3:17:22 YEAH.

3:17:24 OKAY.

3:17:25 ALL RIGHT.

3:17:26 WE’RE GOOD ON THAT.

3:17:27 MOVING ON.

3:17:28 ONE, BUSINESS ADVISORY COUNCIL.

3:17:29 I’LL LEAVE IT UP TO THE BOARD.

3:17:30 I HAVE A BUNCH OF COMMENTS ON THIS ONE.

3:17:31 YEAH.

3:17:32 I DON’T – I DON’T LIKE – I DON’T SEE THE NEED TO ADD THIS POLICY,

3:17:38 BECAUSE WE HAVE IN

3:17:39 MULTIPLE WAYS GREAT PARTNERSHIPS WITH OUR BUSINESSES.

3:17:41 WE’VE GOT OUR PIES.

3:17:42 WE’VE GOT ALL THE THINGS THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT DOES TO ADD AN

3:17:47 EXTRA COMMITTEE.

3:17:51 I MEAN, IT’S GREAT PURPOSES, BUT I THINK THESE ARE THINGS THAT

3:17:53 WE’RE ALREADY DOING ORGANICALLY.

3:17:56 AND NOT JUST IN A DISORGANIZED WAY.

3:18:00 WE ARE DOING IT IN ORGANIZED WAYS, BUT WITHOUT THE POLICY.

3:18:03 OKAY.

3:18:04 ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS?

3:18:07 SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I’VE NOTICED SINCE I’VE BEEN VERY CONNECTED

3:18:10 INTO THE TRADES, AND

3:18:11 IF YOU WALK IN AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE, OUR TEACHERS HAVE A VERY

3:18:15 DIFFICULT TIME CREATING ADVISORY BOARDS,

3:18:18 RIGHT?

3:18:19 IT’S JUST PART OF IT.

3:18:20 AND OUR DISTRICT IS TRYING TO RUN AROUND AND HELP OUT.

3:18:22 BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE SOME MORE OF THESE BUSINESS ADVISORY

3:18:26 COUNCILS.

3:18:26 I THINK THAT IT WOULD HELP US.

3:18:27 I THINK THAT IF YOU WERE TO PUT TOGETHER NORTH, CENTRAL, AND SOUTH

3:18:31 BUSINESS ADVISORY COUNCIL ON SPECIFIC AREAS OF INTEREST,

3:18:35 YOU MAY BE ABLE TO DO A BETTER JOB OF PIPING THROUGH.

3:18:38 LIKE THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL BOARD OF DIRECTORS, WE

3:18:41 PRESENTED TO THEM ON A BASIS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

3:18:44 THAT WAS GREAT.

3:18:45 WE TALKED ABOUT CREATING ALL THESE DIFFERENT OPPORTUNITIES AND

3:18:47 STUFF LIKE THAT.

3:18:48 THAT OPPORTUNITY DOESN’T HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS.

3:18:51 WE COULD FORMALIZE SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

3:18:53 IF YOU HAD A COUPLE OF OTHER THINGS, LIKE WE COULD CREATE THESE

3:18:58 ENTITIES SO THAT THEY WOULD BE STREAMLINED AND GIVE US DIRECTION.

3:19:02 RIGHT NOW, THE INDUSTRY COUNCIL FROM PALM BAY’S CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM

3:19:07 IS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE INDUSTRY COUNCIL FROM SPACE

3:19:11 COAST.

3:19:12 AND THEY RUN FOR THEIR CONSTRUCTION PROGRAMS AND THEY COULD USE

3:19:16 SOME HELP.

3:19:17 SO IF YOU GUYS DON’T HAVE ANY INTEREST IN DOING IT, THAT’S ONE

3:19:20 THING.

3:19:20 I THINK THAT THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

3:19:21 BUT LIKE MS. CAMPBELL SAID, YOU MAY NOT WANT TO CREATE SOMETHING

3:19:25 BECAUSE THERE ARE EXTRA COMMITIES AND STUFF LIKE THAT TO ME.

3:19:28 I DO KNOW THAT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO HELP OUR SCHOOLS WITH THEIR

3:19:32 INDUSTRY COUNCILS.

3:19:33 THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME MORE SUPPORT IN OUR CAREER AND TECHNICAL

3:19:35 PROGRAMS.

3:19:36 THERE ALSO NEEDS TO BE SOME SUPPORT INSIDE OF OUR GIVEN JOBS TO

3:19:39 OUR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AFTER THEY GRADUATE FROM US.

3:19:42 LIKE THERE’S A NEED FOR CONNECTIVITY TO THE BUSINESS AND SOMETIMES

3:19:45 THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT DO IT.

3:19:47 THAT IS WHERE I WAS COMING FROM.

3:19:50 DR. RINDELL, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?

3:19:52 I DON’T KNOW THAT WE NEED A POLICY FOR A BUSINESS ADVISORY COUNCIL.

3:19:55 TO CREATE IT.

3:19:56 I THINK IT’S MORE LIKE WE JUST NEED TO GO OUT AND DO THOSE THINGS.

3:19:58 OKAY.

3:19:59 AND WE’VE DONE IT IN THE PAST IN SOME WAYS AND SOME OF THOSE

3:20:03 HAVE DISSOLVED.

3:20:04 WE JUST NEED TO PICK UP THOSE AND CREATE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS AGAIN.

3:20:08 I DON’T KNOW IF WE NEED A POLICY.

3:20:11 WE JUST NEED TO DO THOSE THINGS.

3:20:12 I THINK IT’S ALSO A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO REACH OUT TO YOUR CHAMBER.

3:20:15 TITUSVILLE’S CHAMBER DOES A PHENOMENAL JOB AT CONNECTING BUSINESSES

3:20:17 TO OUR SCHOOLS.

3:20:18 SO, YOU KNOW, IF YOU’RE GOING TO THOSE, I DON’T KNOW, OURS DOES

3:20:21 A MONTHLY CHAMBER MEETING AND

3:20:22 WE SIT DOWN AND TALK AND TARGET SPECIFIC BUSINESSES AND THAT HELPS

3:20:26 TIE THEM BACK.

3:20:27 SO, IF THERE’S A WAY TO GET INVOLVED THERE, THAT WILL BE HELPFUL

3:20:30 WITHOUT FORMING ANOTHER COMMITTEE.

3:20:32 YOU KNOW?

3:20:33 YEAH.

3:20:34 ALL RIGHT.

3:20:35 EVERYBODY GOOD?

3:20:36 YEAH.

3:20:37 OKAY.

3:20:38 NEXT UP IS 9150 SCHOOL VISITORS.

3:20:42 ANYBODY WISH TO HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONE?

3:20:45 YEAH.

3:20:46 GO.

3:20:47 I DO.

3:20:48 I THINK THAT THIS POLICY NEEDS TO BE REVISED TO SPECIFICALLY REWARDING

3:20:52 THE BOARD MEMBERS’ VISITATION.

3:20:54 YOU KNOW, IF WE CITE THE STATUTE, FLOOR STATUTE 1001.42 AND LIST

3:21:01 IN THERE WHAT OUR ROLE IS AS A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, IT SAYS VISIT

3:21:04 THE SCHOOLS,

3:21:05 OBSERVE THE MANAGEMENT AND INSTRUCTION, GIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT,

3:21:08 AND ADVISE CITIZENS.

3:21:10 SORRY, I’M TRYING TO READ MY OWN HANDWRITING TWO WEEKS AGO AND

3:21:14 IT’S PRETTY BAD.

3:21:15 ALL RIGHT.

3:21:16 YEAH.

3:21:17 THERE’S BEEN A LOT OF UPDATES ON THIS ONE SINCE 2002.

3:21:19 YEAH.

3:21:20 IF YOU LOOK AT THE NEOLA TEMPLATE, THERE’S A WHOLE SECTION ON

3:21:22 VISITATION BY BOARD MEMBERS.

3:21:23 YEAH.

3:21:24 I WAS LOOKING AT THAT.

3:21:27 THERE’S THAT PIECE.

3:21:28 YEAH, THERE’S ALSO – SO THERE’S A PART – OH, I HAVE IT IN MY

3:21:32 NOTES.

3:21:33 PRINCIPAL CONTROLS, A TIME OF DAY, LENGTH, AND – I THINK THAT

3:21:40 WAS JUST A NOTE FROM THE NEOLA.

3:21:43 THERE’S ALSO – IN NEOLA, THERE’S THIS PART ABOUT ANIMALS IN CAMPUS.

3:21:50 I JUST SAID – I HAD WRITTEN, DO WE NEED THIS NOTE?

3:21:53 AND – BUT WE NEED A REFERENCE TO A DIFFERENT POLICY, BECAUSE

3:21:55 OURS IS 8390, NOT 8400.

3:21:58 BECAUSE NOW – AND NOWADAYS, YOU CAN’T GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT SOMEBODY

3:22:03 BRINGING THEIR DOG, RIGHT?

3:22:04 THE GROCERY STORE, DISNEY WORLD, THE AIRPORT, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

3:22:08 ANIMALS, OR WHATEVER.

3:22:09 SO I THINK WE NEED TO PROBABLY – BE CLEAR.

3:22:12 YOUR DOG’S NOT ALLOWED.

3:22:14 RIGHT.

3:22:15 YOU CAN’T BRING –

3:22:16 I AGREE.

3:22:17 JUST – YOU CAN’T – EVEN IF IT’S AN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL.

3:22:19 IF IT’S – EXCEPT FOR – I THINK THIS ONE SAYS – EXCEPT FOR CANINES

3:22:21 BROUGHT BY LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL,

3:22:23 OR, YOU KNOW, SERVICE ANIMALS.

3:22:26 OBVIOUSLY, IF WE HAVE A BLIND STUDENT WHO HAS TO SEE – THAT’S

3:22:28 ALREADY GONE THROUGH THAT PROCESS.

3:22:29 IT FOLLOWS OUR POLICY.

3:22:31 BUT OTHER ANIMALS MAY NOT BE ON CAMPUS.

3:22:33 I THINK WE NEED TO ADD THAT, TOO.

3:22:35 WELL, AND WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TO, LIKE, WE HAVE SOME INDIVIDUALS

3:22:39 THAT COME BRING WILDLIFE INTO THE CLASSROOM TO USE IT AS A LEARNING

3:22:42 EXPERIENCE.

3:22:42 WOULD THAT –

3:22:43 I THINK THAT’S COVERED IN 8390.

3:22:45 SO, LIKE, IF YOU HAVE CHICKENS IN A SCIENCE LAB, OR STUFF LIKE

3:22:49 THAT.

3:22:49 RIGHT.

3:22:50 FROM THE ZOO.

3:22:51 OKAY.

3:22:52 SO THAT WOULDN’T –

3:22:53 I HAVE TO – I CAN’T REMEMBER 8390 OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I

3:22:56 THINK THAT KIND OF ANIMAL IS COVERED BY –

3:22:58 OKAY.

3:22:59 I JUST WANTED TO –

3:23:00 THIS IS TALKING ABOUT VISITORS.

3:23:01 SO, LIKE, IF YOU’RE VISITORS –

3:23:02 THIS IS LIKE OUR PEOPLE.

3:23:03 RIGHT, RIGHT.

3:23:04 YOU’RE NOT – YOU CAN’T BRING YOUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT CAP TO –

3:23:06 NO, BUT IF WE HAVE SOMEBODY COME IN THAT – I MEAN, WE HAVE –

3:23:09 WE HAVE AN INDIVIDUAL IN THE NORTH END,

3:23:10 AND HE BRINGS IN GATORS AND SNAKES, AND HE DIDN’T BRING THEM TO

3:23:13 OUR SCHOOLS.

3:23:14 I WILL SAY HE’S BRING THEM TO OUR CHURCH TO SHOW KIDS.

3:23:16 RIGHT.

3:23:17 IT’S AN APPROVED CLASSROOM.

3:23:19 I THINK THAT’S IN 8390, THOUGH.

3:23:21 OKAY.

3:23:22 I’LL GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT.

3:23:23 IT IS IN THERE.

3:23:24 THERE’S ALSO LANGUAGE IN THERE ABOUT PROTECTING ANYBODY WHO MAY

3:23:27 HAVE ALLERGIC REACTION TO ANIMALS BEING BROUGHT IN FOR EDUCATIONAL

3:23:32 PURPOSES.

3:23:32 SO IT’S PRETTY THOROUGH.

3:23:33 IT IS 8390.

3:23:34 YEAH.

3:23:35 OKAY.

3:23:36 BUT I DO THINK WE NEED TO ADD THAT NOTE, JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR.

3:23:38 BECAUSE ESPECIALLY IN TODAY’S WORLD, WHERE EVERYBODY LIKES TO BRING

3:23:41 THEIR ANIMALS EVERYWHERE.

3:23:43 OKAY.

3:23:44 SO MY ONLY RECOMMENDATION, AGAIN, TO FOLLOW UP IS TO ADD FOR STATUTE

3:23:47 1001.42 AND CITE IN THERE THE VISITATION.

3:23:50 SO WE HAVE A STATUTE CUSTODY AND OBSERVE THE MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTION,

3:23:53 GIVE SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPROVEMENT, THAT SPECIFIC PART OF THAT STATUTE.

3:23:56 YEAH.

3:23:57 WE ALSO DON’T HAVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT CUSTODY, I DON’T THINK.

3:24:00 THERE’S A STATEMENT UPDATED.

3:24:02 UNDERNEATH THAT, IN THE NEOLA, UNDERNEATH THE ADDITION THAT YOU

3:24:06 CAN ADD ABOUT ANIMALS, THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT CUSTODY.

3:24:09 I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT IN THERE, TOO.

3:24:11 SO BASICALLY, I THINK WE NEED TO DO SOME NEOLA UPDATING.

3:24:13 I’LL WORK WITH OPERATIONS ON UPDATING THIS.

3:24:16 SO IT IS PRETTY, A LOT OF DIFFERENCES WITH NEOLA.

3:24:20 SO I THINK IT’S – IT’LL BE –

3:24:23 YEAH.

3:24:24 SAYS IT RIGHT THERE.

3:24:25 ANIMALS IN THE CLASSROOM AS REGULATED BY POLICY 8400 CANONES.

3:24:28 YEAH.

3:24:29 SO IT NEEDS TO BE 83-90 FOR US.

3:24:31 YEAH.

3:24:32 OKAY.

3:24:33 ANYBODY ELSE?

3:24:34 SO WHERE I HAVE IS, I WANTED TO JUST REITERATE, YOU KNOW, THE BOARD

3:24:39 MEMBERS ARE ALLOWED TO GO TO THEIR SCHOOLS.

3:24:40 RIGHT.

3:24:41 HAVE TO.

3:24:42 BUT WE DO WANT TO GIVE THE PRINCIPLE THE OPPORTUNITY.

3:24:44 BUT IN THE EVENT THAT YOU WANT TO GO TO A SCHOOL, YOU CAN GO TO

3:24:47 SCHOOL, CHECK IN, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

3:24:49 THE POLICY STATES, AS FAR AS THE NEOLA PIECE THAT I WOULD LIKE

3:24:53 TO ADD, GIVES SOME REALLY GOOD VISITATION BY BOARD MEMBERS AND

3:24:58 LEGISLATORS.

3:24:58 IT SAYS IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, CARRY IT THE SUPERINTENDENT, DON’T

3:25:02 ENGAGE WITH THE STAFF AND SAY YOU’RE DOING THIS, YOU’RE DOING

3:25:04 THAT.

3:25:04 RIGHT.

3:25:05 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

3:25:06 IT’S NOT AN INSPECTION.

3:25:07 YEAH.

3:25:08 AND I THINK THAT – OR DID YOU GUYS – I FEEL THAT THE NEOLA UPDATE

3:25:13 IS A GOOD POLICY AND THAT I WOULD LIKE TO PUT IN THE VISITATION

3:25:16 BY BOARD MEMBERS AND LEGISLATORS

3:25:17 BECAUSE THERE’S BEEN SOME – THERE’S BEEN SOME INSTANCES WHERE,

3:25:20 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS THAT SOME OF THE PRINCIPLES

3:25:23 MAY NOT KNOW THAT.

3:25:24 YEAH.

3:25:25 AND I THINK WE – WE UPDATED OUR BYLAW 172 TO INCLUDE THAT LANGUAGE.

3:25:30 YEAH.

3:25:31 THAT UPDATED LANGUAGE.

3:25:32 SO IT WOULD MATCH WHAT WE DID WHEN WE DID 172.

3:25:37 OKAY.

3:25:38 SO I WOULD SAY THE NEW NEOLA POLICY THAT SITS INSIDE OF THEIR –

3:25:44 THE COMPONENTS, IF YOU WANT TO BRING SOMETHING BACK

3:25:46 THAT KIND OF REFLECTS WHAT WE SAID AS FAR AS THAT BOARD MEMBER

3:25:50 SECTION ALONG WITH LEGISLATORS ALONG WITH WHAT SHE WAS TALKING

3:25:53 ABOUT.

3:25:53 WE’LL DO IT.

3:25:54 ALL RIGHT.

3:25:55 THE OTHER THING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING UP ON THIS POLICY IS

3:25:58 IS THAT WE HAVE A BUNCH OF SCHOOLS WHO – THEY ONLY – THEY HAVE

3:26:02 DIFFERENT RULES THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY ON WHEN A PARENT MAY VISIT

3:26:05 DURING LUNCH.

3:26:05 AND I HAVE SOME SCHOOLS THAT HAVE GIVEN A LOTTERY SO ONCE YOU

3:26:09 GET LUNCH YOU CAN’T COME BACK.

3:26:12 THERE’S OTHER SCHOOLS THAT SAY YOU CAN ONLY COME ON A CERTAIN

3:26:15 DAY.

3:26:15 THERE’S OTHER SCHOOLS THAT – AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THAT’S SECURITY.

3:26:19 THERE’S SOME ISSUES THERE WITH SECURITY.

3:26:21 BUT I THINK THAT THERE’S A WAY FOR US TO LOOK AT THAT AND ALLOW

3:26:27 OUR PARENTS TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE ACCESS THAN ONCE A DAY OR

3:26:31 ONCE A MONTH OR ONCE A SEMESTER.

3:26:33 DOES ANYBODY FEEL LIKE THIS IS KIND OF AN INHIBITIVE STATUTE?

3:26:36 SO IT’S FUNNY THAT YOU BRING THIS UP BECAUSE, AGAIN, I’VE BEEN

3:26:38 AT SO MANY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS AND I ALWAYS

3:26:41 ASK THAT QUESTION.

3:26:42 LIKE IS THAT – IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU’RE SEEING?

3:26:44 AND EVERY SCHOOL DOES IT A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

3:26:45 YOU’RE RIGHT.

3:26:46 SO SOME SCHOOLS ONLY DO IT ONE DAY A WEEK.

3:26:47 IT ROTATES THE DAY.

3:26:48 YOU KNOW, THEY DO A SIGN UP GENIUS.

3:26:51 AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM SAYS THE SAME THING.

3:26:53 THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS WE DON’T HAVE THE VOLUNTEERS TO SUPERVISE

3:26:56 THE PARENTS COMING IN.

3:26:57 AND SO I’M LIKE, HEY, THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO RECRUIT

3:27:00 SOME VOLUNTEERS.

3:27:01 BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE A PARENT COMING TO EAT LUNCH, LIKE THAT’S A

3:27:03 VOLUNTEER.

3:27:03 SET THEM DOWN TO THE DISTRICT.

3:27:04 LET’S GET THEM FINGERPRINTED AND SIGN THEM UP TO BE A VOLUNTEER.

3:27:07 THEY ALL SAY THE SAME THING.

3:27:09 I SAID, HEY, DO YOU HAVE PARENTS THAT ARE MAD ABOUT THIS?

3:27:12 ARE YOU RUNNING INTO THAT?

3:27:13 THEY’RE NOT RUNNING INTO IT?

3:27:14 AND I DON’T KNOW IF THAT’S JUST BECAUSE PARENTS ARE USED TO IT.

3:27:16 I MEAN, I’M OBVIOUSLY PRO-PARENT.

3:27:18 I’M WANTING TO BE ABLE TO EAT WITH YOUR CHILDREN.

3:27:20 IT’S VERY IMPORTANT.

3:27:21 AND THEN ESPECIALLY THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, TAKING YOUR KID TO

3:27:23 SCHOOL TO TAKE THAT PICTURE

3:27:23 WITH THE TEACHER.

3:27:24 THOSE ARE TIMES THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT.

3:27:26 SO I GUESS TO REFINE IT INTO A POLICY, I’M AFRAID IF YOU WERE TO,

3:27:31 SAY, OPEN IT UP TO ALL THE

3:27:33 TIME, IT’S GOING TO OPEN UP PANDORA’S BOX AT THE SCHOOL SITE.

3:27:36 HAVE YOU ASKED ANY OF THE PRINCIPALS?

3:27:38 SO I HAVE SOME THAT ARE EXTREMELY MAD.

3:27:40 I’VE GOT SOME PARENTS GROUPS THAT ARE EXTREMELY MAD IN SOME OF

3:27:43 MY SCHOOLS,

3:27:44 ESPECIALLY IN THE Viera AREA, THAT THEY’RE NOT ABLE TO.

3:27:47 WHAT HAPPENS IS, IS IN ONE OF MY SCHOOLS YOU’RE ALLOWED TO SIGN

3:27:50 UP AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

3:27:51 SO LIKE THE FIVE PARENTS SIGN UP, ALL OF IT AND BLOCK OUT.

3:27:54 OKAY.

3:27:55 RIGHT?

3:27:56 SO THERE’S ANOTHER ONE.

3:27:57 SO THEY DID TWEAK THAT A LITTLE BIT.

3:27:58 I THINK THERE’S THAT, BUT THEN THERE’S DEFINITELY ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS

3:28:02 IN THOSE SCHOOLS THAT IF YOU

3:28:03 TOLD THEM YOU COULD EXPAND THE AMOUNT OF DAYS THAT YOU’RE ALLOWED

3:28:05 TO GO TO EAT WITH YOUR KID,

3:28:06 THAT THERE WOULD BE THERE, BUT THEY’RE BEING INHIBITED.

3:28:09 AND SO THERE ARE SOME PIECES INSIDE OF THERE THAT I THINK WE COULD

3:28:14 WORK ON.

3:28:15 THAT’S ALL.

3:28:16 BECAUSE I DO KNOW, EVEN AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, PARENTS AREN’T

3:28:20 ALLOWED ON THE CAMPUSES

3:28:21 TO WALK THEIR KID TO SCHOOL.

3:28:22 YEAH.

3:28:23 RIGHT.

3:28:24 LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT.

3:28:25 UNFORTUNATELY, THAT’S THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN.

3:28:27 BECAUSE I THOUGHT ABOUT WHEN MY KID FIRST STARTED IN 2009, WHERE

3:28:31 EVERYBODY WALKED ON CAMPUS.

3:28:32 EVERYBODY WALKED RIGHT UP TO THE DOOR TO PICK UP YOUR KID IN THE

3:28:34 DAY.

3:28:34 WE ARE NOT IN THAT WORLD.

3:28:35 YEAH.

3:28:36 AND, BUT I HEAR WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.

3:28:39 AND I, WE DID AS A BOARD, MAYBE TWO YEARS AGO, GIVE DIRECTION

3:28:45 FOR THE PRINCIPLES TO FIND

3:28:47 A WAY TO START OPENING LUNCHES BACK UP.

3:28:49 RIGHT?

3:28:50 THE TRICKY PART IS EVERY CAMPUS IS SO DIFFERENT BECAUSE SOMETIMES

3:28:55 THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE BUILDING

3:28:56 ITSELF CREATES, MAKES IT EASIER OR HARDER TO SUPERVISE THIS.

3:29:02 YEAH.

3:29:03 AND THEN EVERY SCHOOL IS AT A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF STAFFING.

3:29:05 SOME OF THEM ARE REALLY STRUGGLING.

3:29:07 SO THAT’S WHY I HATE, I WOULD HATE THE IDEA OF US AS A BOARD KIND

3:29:10 OF ISSUING THE EDICT

3:29:11 FROM A HIGH YOU SHALL DO THIS AND, AND IT’S SO HARD.

3:29:14 SO I, I WOULD RATHER LEAVE THIS AT THE PRINCIPAL LEVEL DECISION

3:29:17 BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEIR BUILDING,

3:29:18 THEY KNOW THEIR STAFFING LEVEL AND HOW STRETCHED THEY ARE.

3:29:23 AND, AND IF WE HAVE SOME SCHOOLS THAT ARE CREATING AN EQUITABLE

3:29:27 WAY OF DOING IT,

3:29:28 THEN MAYBE, YOU KNOW, WE WORK WITH THOSE DIRECTORS AND SAY, HEY,

3:29:30 HELP THE SCHOOL FIND A WAY

3:29:31 TO MAKE IT A LITTLE MORE, YOU KNOW, SO THAT MORE FAMILIES HAVE OPPORTUNITIES

3:29:35 TO DO THAT.

3:29:36 YEAH.

3:29:37 BUT I, I DON’T WANT US TO, WITH, STILL WITH THE STAFFING LEVELS

3:29:41 THAT WE HAVE,

3:29:42 TO, TO MAKE THAT EDICT FROM ON HIGH RIGHT NOW.

3:29:45 SO I THINK, I THINK WE HAD SAID THAT IF THERE WERE VOLUNTEERS AVAILABLE,

3:29:49 THAT THERE WOULD BE AN OPPORTUNITY TO EXPAND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR

3:29:52 FAMILIES TO BE A PART OF IT, RIGHT?

3:29:54 SO, STAFF IS ONE THING, BUT IF YOU HAVE VOLUNTEERS THAT CAN COME

3:29:57 IN.

3:29:57 VOLUNTEERS, YEAH.

3:29:58 I THINK THERE’S A WAY.

3:29:59 SO, DR. RINDELL, IF I COULD WORK WITH YOU ON SOME SORT OF A PLAN

3:30:02 TO ALLOW MORE PARTICIPATION.

3:30:04 ONE OF THE PROBLEMS I’M HAVING IS, IS THAT I SEE A LOT OF DISCONNECT

3:30:08 BETWEEN OUR PARENTS

3:30:09 AND SOME OF THE SCHOOLS THAT USED TO NOT BE THERE.

3:30:11 AND I’D LIKE TO TRY TO FIND AN OPPORTUNITY.

3:30:15 YEAH, I THINK WE’D LIKE TO EXPLORE THAT A LITTLE BIT.

3:30:17 MAYBE THERE IS A LEGITIMATE REASON WHY CAMPUS IS NOT ALLOWING IT

3:30:20 AS MUCH AS ANOTHER CAMPUS.

3:30:21 IT COULD BE SUPERVISION, LACK OF SUPPORT, THAT KIND OF THING.

3:30:25 BUT IF WE CAN’T REALLY FIND A CONCRETE REASON AS TO WHY ONE SCHOOL

3:30:28 MIGHT BE LIMITING THAT AMOUNT,

3:30:31 WE MIGHT HAVE TO SAY, HEY, LOOK, YOU GOT TO RETHINK THIS.

3:30:33 AND, YOU KNOW, THE PARENTS ARE PART OF THE DEAL HERE.

3:30:35 IT’S PART OF THE COMMUNITY.

3:30:36 IT’S PART OF THE PARTNERSHIP.

3:30:37 YOU KNOW, IF THEY WANT TO COME EAT WITH THE KIDS, THEY SHOULD BE

3:30:39 ABLE TO DO THAT.

3:30:40 AND THEN THERE’S THE OTHER SIDE, THAT THERE ARE SOME OVERABUNDANT

3:30:44 PARENTS THAT, YOU KNOW, SIT IN THE CAR LOOP AN HOUR BEFORE.

3:30:47 OH, THOSE ARE THE PERFECT ONES.

3:30:48 GO GIVE THEM AN APPLICATION.

3:30:49 GO GET THEM AND GET THEM IN THERE.

3:30:50 LET’S VOLUNTEER IN THE SCHOOL.

3:30:51 GIVE THEM HERE AN HOUR EARLY.

3:30:52 COME ON.

3:30:53 WALK DOWN THE CAR LINE AND HAND OUT THE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION.

3:30:54 YEAH, I MEAN, THAT’S HONESTLY A GOOD.

3:30:56 AND A JOB APPLICATION, TOO.

3:30:59 AND SO, YEAH, RIGHT.

3:31:00 ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS I THINK WOULD BE REALLY, REALLY GOOD,

3:31:02 AND THIS IS PROBABLY MORE SO FOR OUR ELEMENTARY,

3:31:10 I DON’T KNOW HOW THAT WORKS LOGISTICALLY, BUT TO HAVE THE TEACHERS

3:31:13 OUT FRONT, SOMEWHERE WHERE A PARENT CAN GET THAT FIRST DAY PICTURE.

3:31:15 IT REALLY MATTERS TO PARENTS.

3:31:16 I MEAN, IT REALLY DOES.

3:31:17 I KNOW I’VE HAD IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH MY KIDS AND THEN I LOST

3:31:19 IT AFTER COVID.

3:31:20 IT’S JUST WHO WOULD BE IN THE CLASSROOM WITH THE OTHER KIDS.

3:31:22 I KNOW, I KNOW.

3:31:23 I’LL TALK TO MY ELEMENTARY FRIENDS.

3:31:24 I DON’T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT.

3:31:25 YEAH.

3:31:26 HOW THAT WORKS AND THE MANAGEMENT OF IT.

3:31:28 I KNOW.

3:31:30 OR MAYBE THAT’S THE DAY WE GET VOLUNTEERS.

3:31:32 THAT WOULD BE REALLY GREAT TO HAVE YOUR PTO REALLY IN THERE, KNOCKING

3:31:35 OUT OF THE PARK AND TAKING THOSE PICTURES AND SENDING THEM TO

3:31:38 PARENTS.

3:31:38 BECAUSE IT REALLY, IT’S A GREAT THING TO HAVE AND THEN BE ABLE

3:31:40 TO TAKE THAT PICTURE AT THE END OF THE YEAR AS WELL, YOU KNOW,

3:31:42 TO SEE THEM CHANGE.

3:31:43 I THINK THERE’S SOME GOOD WORK WE CAN DO IN THIS AREA.

3:31:45 YEAH.

3:31:46 SO I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU, DR. INDON.

3:31:48 ALL RIGHT.

3:31:49 IF EVERYBODY’S OKAY WITH THAT ONE, I THINK THE NEXT ONE UP IS 9160.01.

3:31:54 CAN I TAKE A SECOND AND ASK YOU GUYS, IS THERE A TIME THAT YOU

3:31:57 GUYS WANT TO STOP?

3:31:58 BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, WE PROBABLY WILL NOT GET THROUGH ALL OF THESE.

3:32:01 WE HAVE ANOTHER HOUR.

3:32:03 IF WE STAY FOCUSED, WE PROBABLY COULD.

3:32:04 WE COULD.

3:32:05 WE’VE GOT SIDE TRACKED A FEW TIMES.

3:32:06 ALL RIGHT.

3:32:07 LET’S KEEP GOING.

3:32:08 I THINK THAT IF YOU GUYS – OKAY.

3:32:10 I JUST WANT TO – I WANT TO – LISTEN, I WILL WORK RIGHT UP TO 5:30.

3:32:13 GO BACK UP THERE AND GO.

3:32:14 NO, NO.

3:32:15 WE’RE NOT DOING THAT.

3:32:16 BUT LET’S RE-EVALUATE AT 4:00.

3:32:17 OKAY.

3:32:18 THERE WE GO.

3:32:19 ALL RIGHT.

3:32:20 HERE WE GO.

3:32:21 96.01.

3:32:22 9160.01 COMPLAINT.

3:32:23 OH, WAIT.

3:32:24 DID WE DO THAT IN 60?

3:32:25 YEAH.

3:32:26 WE HAVE 9160.

3:32:27 THAT IS OUR POLICY, BUT IT’S NOT IN THE OLA POLICY.

3:32:31 RIGHT.

3:32:33 AND THIS IS REALLY TALKING ABOUT THE –

3:32:34 I’M SORRY.

3:32:35 9160.

3:32:36 OH, NO, NO.

3:32:37 YOU’RE GOING IN ORDER BY THE SHEET.

3:32:38 THEY WERE –

3:32:39 YEAH, YEAH.

3:32:40 YOU’RE RIGHT.

3:32:41 I’M SORRY.

3:32:42 I CAN JUMP TO 9160.01.

3:32:43 BUT THEN WE GO BACK, RIGHT?

3:32:44 OKAY.

3:32:45 SORRY.

3:32:46 IT WAS JUST THE –

3:32:47 WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY, REST?

3:32:48 ON THE AGENDA.

3:32:49 WE HAVE A 9160.

3:32:50 9160 IS PUBLIC ATTENDANCE AT SCHOOL EVENTS.

3:32:53 IT WAS REVISED IN FEBRUARY OF 2020.

3:32:56 AND MEOLA DOES NOT HAVE A POLICY THAT MATCHES WITH THIS ONE.

3:33:00 SO THIS STANDS ALONE FOR US.

3:33:02 I AM ON – WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

3:33:05 9160 IS OUR POLICY.

3:33:07 YES.

3:33:08 9160.01 IS NEOLA.

3:33:10 NEOLA HAS A 9160.

3:33:14 OH, SORRY.

3:33:15 THEY’RE OUT OF ORDER.

3:33:16 OH.

3:33:17 THEY’RE OUT OF ORDER.

3:33:18 THAT’S WHY.

3:33:19 YEAH, YEAH.

3:33:20 OKAY.

3:33:22 SO LET’S PICK ONE.

3:33:23 I WAS ON 9160.01.

3:33:24 AND THEN WE CAN –

3:33:26 SO LET’S BACK UP AND DO THAT.

3:33:27 OKAY.

3:33:28 SO WE GOT COMPLAINT PROCEDURES RELATED TO ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION

3:33:32 REGARDING ACCESSIBILITY.

3:33:33 WE DON’T HAVE THIS.

3:33:34 MY NOTES SAY TO ASK DR.

3:33:35 VINDELL, IS THIS SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE?

3:33:37 OR MR.

3:33:39 BRUNE.

3:33:40 OR MR.

3:33:41 GOOD.

3:33:42 THIS IS AN OCR THING.

3:33:43 YEAH.

3:33:44 THIS IS TIGHT INTO –

3:33:45 YEAH.

3:33:46 IF WE DON’T HAVE IT COVERED SOMEWHERE ELSE.

3:33:47 YEAH.

3:33:48 I WOULD WANT TO SEARCH THE POLICY.

3:33:49 BECAUSE THIS IS SPECIFIC TO ADA.

3:33:50 YEAH.

3:33:51 IF YOU HAVE AN ACCESSIBILITY COMPLAINT, WHERE TO GO.

3:33:51 I’M SURE WE HAVE IT ON THE WEBSITE AND EVERYTHING.

3:33:52 I ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE IT’S COVERED.

3:33:53 RIGHT.

3:33:54 I WOULD SAY THAT IT’S COVERED ELSEWHERE BECAUSE WE DO LIST WHO

3:34:07 TO CONTACT AND ALL THAT

3:34:08 IN OTHER PLACE.

3:34:09 BUT I’LL DOUBLE CHECK FOR YOU.

3:34:10 SO YOU’RE GOING TO DOUBLE CHECK AND IF WE DON’T, YOU WANT TO PUT

3:34:13 IT IN.

3:34:13 I THINK WE PROBABLY SHOULD IF WE DON’T HAVE IT.

3:34:15 BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT’S ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU HAVE TO HAVE.

3:34:17 BUT IF IT APPEARS LIKE IT’S COVERED IN OTHER PLACES, DO WE NOT WANT

3:34:20 TO PUT IT IN?

3:34:21 I GUESS THAT’S THE QUESTION.

3:34:22 YES.

3:34:23 OKAY.

3:34:24 THAT’S MY THOUGHT.

3:34:25 YEAH.

3:34:26 THAT’S MY THOUGHT, TOO.

3:34:27 OKAY.

3:34:28 SO I’M HEARING YOU SAY THAT HE’S GOING TO CHECK.

3:34:34 AND IF THERE’S NOT – IF IT’S NOT IN THERE, THAT YOU WOULD LIKE

3:34:37 TO HAVE HIM AT IT.

3:34:38 IS THAT WHAT YOU’RE SAYING?

3:34:39 OKAY.

3:34:40 DR. RENDELL, YOU GOT THAT?

3:34:41 ABSOLUTELY.

3:34:42 THERE’S A NEOLA POLICY REVISION.

3:34:43 YOU GUYS HAD A CHANCE TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT?

3:34:44 YES.

3:34:45 I HAD WRITTEN – THEY HAD A JULY UPDATE FROM THIS YEAR.

3:34:49 AND OUR – OKAY.

3:34:50 SO THERE IS A PART IN HERE THAT REFERS TO 7440.

3:35:01 AND IT TALKS ABOUT METAL DETECTORS, BUT OUR 7440 DOESN’T MENTION

3:35:07 METAL DETECTORS CURRENTLY.

3:35:09 I DON’T REMEMBER WHAT OUR REVISIONS WERE BECAUSE WE HAVEN’T HAD

3:35:14 THOSE 7000s COME BACK TO US.

3:35:17 SO I WANTED TO CHECK ON THAT.

3:35:19 DO WE NEED THE PART ABOUT CONSTRUCTED AFTER – THERE WAS SOMETHING

3:35:23 ABOUT BEING CONSTRUCTED AFTER 1977.

3:35:26 WE DON’T HAVE THAT, BUT I THINK – I DON’T KNOW IF WE NEED TO ADD

3:35:34 THAT IN BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE THAT ON OURS.

3:35:35 AND THEN ALSO LETTER E – SORRY. LETTER E – WE DON’T HAVE LETTER.

3:35:49 ON OURS?

3:35:50 YEAH.

3:35:51 SORRY, MY COMPUTER IS DOING WEIRD THINGS.

3:35:54 FOR ANY DISTRIBUTION.

3:35:55 I HAVE E SHOULD BE NUMBER 5 UNDER D.

3:35:58 JUST A TECHNICAL CHANGE.

3:36:03 I GOT YOU.

3:36:04 YEAH, WE CAN DO THAT.

3:36:05 BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY IS PART OF DATE.

3:36:07 AND WE NEED TO ADD THE NEW LANGUAGE ABOUT INTERFERENCE WITH EVENTS.

3:36:12 I SAID THAT’S THE FIRST THING I HAVE?

3:36:16 IT’S AT THE BOTTOM, IN THE GREEN, ON THE NEOLA.

3:36:19 ALL OF THAT INTERFERENCE ABOUT – BECAUSE IT TALKS ABOUT IF YOU

3:36:22 INTERFERE WITH AN EVENT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.

3:36:25 GO TO JAIL.

3:36:27 ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU CAN’T DO.

3:36:32 WELL, YOU LOSE YOUR VISITOR PRIVILEGES.

3:36:34 YEAH.

3:36:35 YOU’LL BE REPORTED TO LAW ENFORCEMENT.

3:36:36 YEAH.

3:36:37 AND UNFORTUNATELY, THIS STATE, WE NEED THAT.

3:36:40 YOU NEED IT.

3:36:41 SO THIS ONE DEFINITELY NEEDS SOME WORK.

3:36:42 OKAY.

3:36:43 ANYBODY ELSE?

3:36:48 ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE?

3:36:51 PUBLIC ATTENDANCE.

3:36:53 WE DO HAVE – THERE’S SOMETHING IN THERE THAT TALKS ABOUT NO ALCOHOLIC

3:36:56 BEVERAGE OR CONTROLLED

3:36:56 SUBSTANCES MAY POSSESS, CONSUME, OR DISTRIBUTED AT ANY FUNCTION

3:37:00 SPONSORED BY THE DISTRICT.

3:37:01 WE DID HAVE SPACE COAST DAILY PARK THAT USED TO RENT OUT LAND.

3:37:05 I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THAT

3:37:08 TO CONTINUE ON OTHER PROPERTY, NOT OUR SCHOOL PROPERTY, RIGHT?

3:37:11 SO, LIKE, IF WE HAVE – IF WE HAVE VACANT LAND, WE CAN LEASE IT

3:37:15 OUT TO AN ENTITY TO HOST EVENTS.

3:37:17 IT’S NOT NEAR OUR SCHOOLS.

3:37:19 SO WHAT HAPPENED IS, IS THAT THE SPACE COAST DAILY PARK, WHICH

3:37:22 WAS OUR MIDDLE SCHOOL, WE RAISED A TON OF MONEY FOR THE DISTRICT.

3:37:25 I MEAN, IT WAS $160,000 DURING THE COURSE OF IT.

3:37:29 AND THEY WOULD – THEY WOULD HAVE CONCERTS THERE, AND THEY WOULD

3:37:31 SERVE ALCOHOL.

3:37:32 BUT IT WAS NOT – IT HAD TO BE, LIKE, A CERTAIN DISTANCE FROM

3:37:35 THE SCHOOL.

3:37:36 IT HAD TO BE A FENCE PUT UP.

3:37:37 THERE WAS, LIKE, ALL THESE COMPONENTS.

3:37:39 I THINK THAT THAT SHOULD CONTINUE.

3:37:41 I THINK WE HAD A SPECIAL CONTRACT TO MAKE THAT WORK.

3:37:44 BECAUSE THIS SAYS ON BOARD PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD HAVE MADE THAT

3:37:47 NOT – BUT, SOMEHOW, HOWEVER WE DID THE LEASE FOR THAT.

3:37:50 YEP.

3:37:51 WITH THE RISK MANAGEMENT, IT WAS A CONTRACT, AND THE CONTRACT EXPLICITLY

3:37:55 ALLOWED TO DO THAT, AND THEY INDEMNIFYED US COMPLETELY.

3:37:59 RIGHT.

3:38:02 AND I THINK AS LONG AS THAT CAN CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WHEN IT’S BROUGHT

3:38:04 FORWARD TO US, THERE MAY BE A PIECE OF PROPERTY SOMEWHERE WHERE

3:38:06 SOMEBODY ELSE MAY WANT TO START UTILIZING.

3:38:09 WE’LL LET THEM USE IT.

3:38:12 AS LONG AS WE DON’T BROADEN IT, BECAUSE I’M NOT INTERESTED IN

3:38:14 ALLOWING ALCOHOLIC REVERAGES ON OUR PROPERTY FOR ANY OTHER CAPACITY.

3:38:19 NOT FOR CAMPUSES, BUT I WOULD SAY THAT IF THERE’S AN ENTITY THAT

3:38:22 WOULD LIKE TO USE OUR VACANT PROPERTY FOR SOMEBODY ON IT AND DO

3:38:26 WHATEVER THEY CAN LEASE IT FROM US.

3:38:29 WE’LL HAVE THAT CONVERSATION LATER.

3:38:32 WE ALREADY DO.

3:38:33 WE ALREADY DID.

3:38:34 I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WASN’T ANYTHING INHIBITING

3:38:37 IT.

3:38:37 SO AS LONG AS THAT CAN CONTINUE, MR. BRUNE, I WORK WITH OPERATIONS

3:38:42 ON THAT PART.

3:38:43 JUST MAKE SURE THAT THERE’S A PLACE FOR THAT IN THE NICHE.

3:38:47 ALL RIGHT.

3:38:48 MOVING.

3:38:49 DOES ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO HAVE ANYTHING SAY ABOUT THAT?

3:38:52 ALL RIGHT.

3:38:53 NEXT UP IS GOING TO BE 9190 CHARGES FOR INDUSTRIAL TECHNICAL PROJECTS.

3:38:58 AGAIN, AM I SKIPPING BY SOME OF THE POLICIES?

3:39:01 NO, YOU’RE GOOD.

3:39:02 ALL RIGHT.

3:39:03 IT’S THE SAME.

3:39:04 ALL RIGHT.

3:39:07 ARE WE ALL OKAY WITH CONTINUING DOWN THIS?

3:39:09 DOES ANYBODY WISH TO CHANGE ANYTHING?

3:39:11 OKAY.

3:39:13 THIS WAS AN AREA WHERE I THOUGHT WE COULD DO SOME WORK.

3:39:18 AND WHAT I MEAN IS THAT WE WERE DOING SOME TOURS THE OTHER DAY

3:39:21 OF O’GALLY HIGH SCHOOL.

3:39:23 AND WE HAD SPOKEN ABOUT ALLOWING OUR SCHOOLS THAT AFTER SCHOOL

3:39:29 ENDS TO OPEN UP AS ALMOST LIKE A BUSINESS.

3:39:31 AND LET ME EXPLAIN IT TO YOU.

3:39:33 SO LIKE YOU HAVE MARINE MECHANICS AT O’GALLY HIGH SCHOOL.

3:39:37 THERE’S NO REASON THAT AFTER SCHOOL THOSE STUDENTS COULDN’T GO

3:39:41 TO WORK ON PEOPLE BRINGING IN THEIR BOATS AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

3:39:43 MANY SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE ALREADY DO THAT.

3:39:46 IT BRINGS REVENUE BACK TO THE DISTRICT.

3:39:48 IT BRINGS REVENUE THERE AND IT GIVES THE KIDS FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCES.

3:39:52 THEY WERE ALL THE PARENTS WERE ASKING ABOUT IT.

3:39:54 THEN YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE.

3:39:56 SO ALL OF OUR CAREER AND TECHNICAL PROGRAMS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE

3:39:59 SEND OUT ON LIKE AN ENTERPRISE ZONE.

3:40:02 I WOULD LIKE WHAT WE HAVE THE OTHER ONE SO THAT WE’RE HANDS OFF.

3:40:04 BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO WORK.

3:40:06 WE HAD SPOKEN ABOUT THAT KIND OF QUASI.

3:40:08 WHERE’S YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT?

3:40:10 I NEED TO HAVE MR. GIBSWAY ON WHAT OUR LIABILITY IS.

3:40:14 IF WE’RE OPENING UP A MARINE REPAIR, ENGINE REPAIR AFTER HOURS

3:40:19 ON OUR PROPERTY.

3:40:20 DO WE NEED LIABILITY INSURANCE OR WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS OPERATOR’S

3:40:26 LICENSE?

3:40:27 WHAT WOULD BE THE GOAL TO OPERATE AS A SEPARATE BUSINESS?

3:40:31 WE WOULD ENTER INTO THE SAME OPERATION THAT YOU HAVE FOR YOUR AFTER

3:40:36 CARE.

3:40:37 YOU HAVE AN ENTITY THAT COMES IN, RIGHT?

3:40:40 UTILIZATION OF THE STUDENTS AND PERFORMS THE SERVICE AND PAYS MONEY

3:40:44 BACK.

3:40:45 MANY OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE IT TO WHERE YOU CAN GO GET YOUR

3:40:47 OIL CHANGED.

3:40:48 YOU CAN GO GET YOUR, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

3:40:50 THESE ARE THINGS THAT THEY DO.

3:40:51 THEY GIVE THE KIDS FIRST TIME.

3:40:52 TULSE SAYS THEY CAN CHARGE FOR THAT.

3:40:54 RIGHT.

3:40:55 IS IT A PART OF LIKE THE CTE CLASS NOW?

3:40:57 CTE, THERE’S OTHER ENTITIES.

3:40:59 JUST THE ABILITY FOR A SCHOOL TO SET UP THE OPPORTUNITY FOR CHILDREN

3:41:03 TO WORK UTILIZING OUR FACILITIES

3:41:05 AFTER HOURS.

3:41:07 OH, AFTER HOURS.

3:41:08 YEAH.

3:41:09 AND I REMEMBER IN OTHER DISTRICTS, I KNOW IN OTHER DISTRICTS

3:41:11 THEY USE LIKE THEIR CTE MECHANICS

3:41:13 PROGRAM AND THEY ALLOW EMPLOYEES TO BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN AND

3:41:17 THEY’LL DO OIL CHANGES AND THINGS

3:41:18 FOR A NOMINAL FEE.

3:41:19 PAY THE SHOP FEE.

3:41:20 RIGHT.

3:41:21 AS A PART OF THEIR CTE LEARNING, I HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO JUST OPERATING

3:41:26 A BUSINESS AFTER HOURS.

3:41:28 I’D HAVE TO LOOK INTO IT.

3:41:29 OK.

3:41:30 IF YOU WOULD LOOK INTO THAT AND SEE WHERE OUR EXPOSURE IS AND STUFF

3:41:32 LIKE THAT, I THINK THERE’S A WAY

3:41:35 TO WIN THERE AND GIVE OUR KIDS OPPORTUNITIES.

3:41:36 BECAUSE ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WE HAVE IS STUDENTS ARE LIMITED BASED

3:41:39 ON THEIR TRANSPORTATION.

3:41:40 YEAH.

3:41:41 AND SO IF WE WERE ABLE TO CREATE A SITUATION WHERE THEY’RE ABLE

3:41:44 TO FINISH THE DAY AND GO TO

3:41:46 WORK, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

3:41:47 WHAT DO THAT MEAN FOR SOME OF THE ONES THAT DON’T HAVE IT?

3:41:50 THAT’S ALL.

3:41:51 OKAY.

3:41:52 SO WE’LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

3:41:53 ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT 9190?

3:41:56 ALL RIGHT.

3:41:57 9200 VOLUNTEERS.

3:41:59 ANYBODY WISH TO SPEAK TO THIS?

3:42:01 THERE’S SOME NEOLA CHANGES.

3:42:02 WE NEED THIS POLICY.

3:42:03 I THINK WE NEED AN EMPHASIS ON VOLUNTEERS LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

3:42:07 BUT ALSO, I COULDN’T SEE A POLICY THAT WE HAD.

3:42:10 I MAY BE WRONG.

3:42:11 I DON’T THINK WE HAVE A VOLUNTEER POLICY.

3:42:14 NOPE.

3:42:15 WE DON’T EVEN HAVE A PERSON AT THE DISTRICT.

3:42:16 NO.

3:42:17 WE REALLY JUST HAVE – IT’S MENTIONED IN 9300 AS A GROUP OF PEOPLE

3:42:21 THAT WE WANT TO

3:42:22 RECRUIT, INCLUDING VOLUNTEERS, BUT IT’S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO WHAT

3:42:26 NEOLA HAS.

3:42:27 YEAH.

3:42:28 I THINK IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR US TO HAVE A VOLUNTEER POLICY.

3:42:30 SINCE WE DO HAVE VOLUNTEERS, AND THEY ARE COVERED IN BITS AND PIECES

3:42:35 ALL OVER THE PLACE,

3:42:36 BUT TO JUST HAVE IT ONE PLACE, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.

3:42:40 I’D LIKE TO ADD THIS ONE.

3:42:41 IF YOU GUYS REMEMBER, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE GAVE DIRECTION

3:42:43 IN JANUARY ABOUT,

3:42:44 THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME – AND I THINK THIS IS A GOOD

3:42:47 TIME TO ADDRESS IT.

3:42:48 DR. RENDELL, WE HAD SPOKEN BEFORE ABOUT SOME SORT OF STREAMLINE

3:42:54 PROCESS TO WHERE DO YOU GO IF

3:42:54 YOU WANT TO BE A VOLUNTEER?

3:42:56 YEAH.

3:42:58 STUFF LIKE THAT.

3:42:59 AND THEN THIS TIES INTO RETIREE VOLUNTEER PROGRAM.

3:43:00 I LOVE THIS.

3:43:02 SO IF YOU GUYS ARE OKAY WITH TAKING IT, GOING BACK TO STAFF AND

3:43:05 FIGURING OUT HOW TO DO THAT,

3:43:06 WITH ONE CAVEAT, BUT ON TOP OF THAT, I’D LIKE TO HAVE SOME SORT

3:43:10 OF A PERSON AT THE DISTRICT

3:43:12 THAT IS THE HEAD OF VOLUNTEERS.

3:43:15 OR SOMETHING.

3:43:17 YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?

3:43:18 I DON’T KNOW.

3:43:19 MAYBE SECURITY OR SOMETHING.

3:43:20 ANYWAYS, I THINK WE’RE ALL IN AGREEING SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

3:43:27 YOU GUYS KNOW BEST.

3:43:28 THAT’S OKAY, DR. RENDELL?

3:43:29 YEAH.

3:43:30 OKAY.

3:43:31 IT IS, AND THAT’S WHY I DON’T EVEN WANT TO GET INTO IT.

3:43:36 THE DIRECTION RIGHT NOW IS TO REVIEW THE NEAL POLICY AND ADOPTING

3:43:40 THAT.

3:43:40 BECAUSE THERE’S SO MUCH THERE THAT I THINK YOU JUST LET STAFF

3:43:43 WORK THROUGH IT

3:43:44 AND BRING IT BACK TO US WITH THE IDEA THAT WE WANT TO MAKE IT HAPPY.

3:43:48 ALL RIGHT.

3:43:49 ALL YOUR FAVORITES, 9211 BOOSTER CLUBS AND OUTSIDE SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS.

3:43:54 ALL RIGHT.

3:43:55 WE DO HAVE 92110 AS PARENT ORGANIZATIONS.

3:44:02 HOW DID I FORGET THAT?

3:44:05 I APOLOGIZE.

3:44:09 YOU ARE RIGHT.

3:44:11 IT’S THE NEOLA UPDATES.

3:44:12 I APOLOGIZE.

3:44:13 NO, THAT’S ALL RIGHT.

3:44:14 I’M TRYING TO TRACK WITH YOU.

3:44:15 YOU ARE RIGHT.

3:44:16 I’M TRYING TO TRACK WITH YOU.

3:44:17 YOU ARE RIGHT.

3:44:18 I DON’T THINK 9210 IS ON THERE BECAUSE NEAL DOESN’T HAVE THAT TEMPLATE.

3:44:20 RIGHT.

3:44:21 SO, OKAY.

3:44:22 OH, BECAUSE IT’S A BPS POLICY.

3:44:23 THAT’S RIGHT.

3:44:24 I THINK 9210 IS FINE.

3:44:25 WHATEVER IT IS.

3:44:26 YEAH.

3:44:27 I HAD WRITTEN DOWN FINE.

3:44:28 IF ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO TALK ABOUT 9220?

3:44:32 9210?

3:44:34 9.

3:44:46 booster clubs and other outside support organizations this I had

3:44:52 written we need

3:44:55 to update but keep 92 10 separately so we there’s some crossover

3:45:01 I guess but our

3:45:02 92 10 which is unique to us is specific to parent organizations

3:45:07 which I think is

3:45:09 it’s it’s different so that is whatever my notes said said need

3:45:15 to update but

3:45:16 keep 92 10 separate there is an administrative procedure that’s

3:45:23 established to this one that is specific to Brevard schools

3:45:26 foundation for 92 11

3:45:29 92 11 has an administrative procedure about Brevard schools

3:45:33 foundation that is

3:45:33 specific to like how they operate because outside support

3:45:37 organizations

3:45:37 falls under that and they have just different kind of rules so I

3:45:46 our our 92 11 needs updating but I don’t I want to leave the 92

3:45:51 10 part as a

3:45:53 policy what in 92 11 do you feel needs to be

3:46:00 I think one of the struggles is when it comes to the booster

3:46:07 clubs they’re all ran differently and it seems like I don’t know

3:46:07 if if athletic directors can sit down at the beginning of the

3:46:07 year is a good task for Kevin to to really charge them with

3:46:07 understanding how they’re created and making sure they’re formed

3:46:07 correctly I have seen booster clubs that are literally running

3:46:07 around the principal and doing things against the principal’s

3:46:07 will

3:46:07 to get what they want

3:46:14 there’s a book there’s a book there’s a book there’s a book

3:46:21 there’s a book there’s a book that they’re supposed to be I know

3:46:21 but I’m just

3:46:21 telling you that yeah that’s not happening yeah so one of the

3:46:28 things I looked at too is Orange County

3:46:28 you know they had something in their policy written specifically

3:46:30 about booster club deposits all funds collected in a school

3:46:35 internal account

3:46:35 which I like that as opposed to its own booster account just

3:46:38 based on some experience I’ve recently had I think that would be

3:46:42 smart of us to just have some oversight and protection there and

3:46:43 if God forbid something happens with the booster

3:46:44 uh you know falling apart then it’s still with the school and it’s

3:46:49 still in the internal account with that that sport or that

3:46:55 activity that’s a hard one because there I hate to

3:47:02 limit there’s some that are doing really good job like for

3:47:16 example some of the band boosters that you know I’ve been a part

3:47:20 of that like they are outside they’re a separate organization

3:47:22 they have their own checking account we all meet like all the

3:47:23 parents are expected to meet in the meeting they present the

3:47:24 budget just you know right and it’s it’s very clear there’s lots

3:47:29 it’s high

3:47:29 it’s doing it’s high participation they cooperate with the

3:47:32 teacher who cooperates with the but then you have we’ve had some

3:47:36 since I’ve been on the board we’ve been like they’re totally

3:47:40 yeah going astray and we actually had one that we shut down

3:47:44 um so I I so I just would hesitate if we need to reinforce the

3:47:51 rules that we already have in place I think we need to have a

3:47:53 clearer some so some of the things that were in the policy had

3:47:56 to do with it

3:47:56 that we didn’t have you asked for there was a part about

3:47:59 insurance um there’s some financial requirements and rules about

3:48:02 fundraising I you know we may have it somewhere else in like the

3:48:06 book about booster clubs and parent organizations but I think it

3:48:08 would be good to have it clear in policy all in one place

3:48:11 yeah so I was going to see if Mr. Bruhn would work with Mr.

3:48:14 Robinson and kind of go through this to see what we need to

3:48:18 and probably Ms. Lisinski because I know this is this is

3:48:21 something this is finance so I will support finance as much as

3:48:24 we can on some of these policies coming up for sure

3:48:27 yeah but it needs to be consistent that’s yep that’s the

3:48:31 struggle well that’s why we get Kevin Robinson in the room when

3:48:34 they go through this yeah especially when it comes to the

3:48:37 athletics okay everybody so the direction is that you’re going

3:48:41 to bring back something that has the updates and is more in line

3:48:43 with our school policies

3:48:45 okay all right moving forward the next one up is 9215 direct

3:48:52 support organizations there’s an eola up um yeah this is the one

3:48:57 about bsf and this see I should have read all my notes all at

3:49:00 the same time I had written down do we need this for our schools

3:49:03 foundation and then we can remove the administrative procedure

3:49:06 from 92 11 since it’s specifically about bsf so we could have a

3:49:10 separate policy about the school’s foundation

3:49:13 and that makes sense to me rather than have it and it does I

3:49:16 think you’re 100 right I think when I read this it felt the same

3:49:21 way so if you want to go back meet with them and ask them to

3:49:24 come forward with a policy

3:49:26 well this is a good one yeah I agree make sure we’re good with

3:49:28 all just make sure that what you know she may need what what’s

3:49:33 her hand doing

3:49:33 she’s getting ready all right coming for an upcoming plan okay

3:49:37 um I think in that regard 92 15 um if you can take it back meet

3:49:41 with staff and come back right

3:49:43 yeah okay okay I think it’s all in statute anyway the

3:49:47 relationships that they have with school districts and what all

3:49:50 the rules are

3:49:50 I mean it’s pretty yep yep yep yep absolutely all right so the

3:49:54 next one that we have is 92 30 gifts grants and bequests the

3:50:00 board is duly appreciative of public

3:50:02 does anybody wish to speak to this item this is a duplicate of

3:50:07 72 30

3:50:09 okay if that’s true the way it is that’s true do we need to pull

3:50:15 it out

3:50:16 i don’t know it’s the exact same as 72 30 mm-hmm well then we

3:50:21 don’t need it twice

3:50:23 sometimes someone’s looking for it in a certain place they can’t

3:50:26 find it yeah we have lots of other duplicates

3:50:29 yeah it’s a neola redundancy they carry over

3:50:31 yeah except our neola doesn’t have one

3:50:33 and this actually has information

3:50:35 oh no they do no no they don’t

3:50:36 it talks about the foundation and stuff like that so yeah

3:50:39 okay so i would say it’s fine the way to keep it yeah sounds

3:50:44 like rindell wants that

3:50:46 92 70 home education programs uh anybody wish to speak to this

3:50:51 one

3:50:52 um i so i had written down ours is good there weren’t any neola

3:50:59 updates but i wondered

3:51:01 if there should be because of the scholarship names oh yeah

3:51:06 because you know they’ve changed the names of the scholarship

3:51:08 on these that are listed here i think these are outdated but it’s

3:51:12 funny because neola usually is really good in updating those but

3:51:17 um

3:51:18 it hadn’t been updated looks like since 18 so that might be on

3:51:21 their upcoming

3:51:22 okay yes we received um for that one um instead of putting all

3:51:28 listing all of the scholarships we just made it generic says

3:51:32 scholarship programs

3:51:33 so then you don’t have to go in and you know change every year

3:51:37 i think that’s a

3:51:39 and uh then we also um wanted to make sure that the

3:51:43 superintendent should

3:51:45 the new legislative changes that pertain to home education and

3:51:49 what’s required upon receipt of the notice that we can’t um we

3:51:54 can’t require them to submit any additional information than

3:51:57 what’s than what’s expected and um about the written

3:52:02 notification

3:52:02 about the written notification of the available industry certifications

3:52:05 what’s required with that okay so it sounds like she’s ready to

3:52:09 take this on and revise it

3:52:10 i’ll ask a quick question just if you guys know yet and this may

3:52:18 be something if i’m a homeschool student and i wish to take a

3:52:19 career and technical class

3:52:20 that has a cap at the school so say like i want to do it at the

3:52:23 era but i live in the viera area does that does the homeschool

3:52:28 give the opportunity to go there because they live in the

3:52:32 district or is it still a barrier i think it’s still a space

3:52:34 available basis i think once again i think it’s space available

3:52:38 it’s not it’s not based on there where they’re just going to be

3:52:38 a

3:52:38 it’s not it’s not based on their where their geographic location

3:52:41 is to get them in without having to fill out the applications

3:52:45 okay and it says specifically

3:52:46 the students enrollment should be on a space available basis i

3:52:48 got you okay and then uh they can still sign up for

3:52:52 interscholastics interscholastics and stuff like that yes

3:52:55 perfect one of my best athletes was a homeschool kid

3:52:58 okay all right anybody else so we’re sending this so it looks

3:53:05 like yes staff yeah she’s got she’s

3:53:06 she’s she’s pounding she’s ready to go cool beans all right uh

3:53:10 so that’s 9270. next up we’ve got in the neola

3:53:16 templates that we have we have 9300. that’s us too yeah awards

3:53:20 recognition and incentives for staff

3:53:22 school volunteers advisory committee members and community

3:53:25 members i had written good

3:53:27 we’re good all right all right next up on the one in 9500 let me

3:53:35 check the policies nope 9430

3:53:38 community volunteers and business partners last time it was

3:53:41 updated was 2014 there was no neola update

3:53:44 what do you guys wish to do i think this is still good and this

3:53:47 is different from our from the volunteer

3:53:51 policy that we were looking at adding because this one is

3:53:54 specific to certain things nope all right

3:53:57 everybody okay with it 94 30.01 mentoring program the board

3:54:01 believes that a mentoring program as uh right

3:54:03 now is updated in 2014 there is no neola template update um what’s

3:54:08 the wish of the board

3:54:12 just looking through it it seems to match what we’re doing we

3:54:14 had that new mentoring emphasis

3:54:16 starting a couple years ago and it still works for what we added

3:54:20 in from what i can see okay

3:54:22 i know mr roon had any suggestions mr broon no i think everybody’s

3:54:28 okay with 90 94 30.01 everybody okay

3:54:31 program okay going back 9500 relations with educational

3:54:36 institutions and organizations looks pretty close

3:54:42 yeah it just gives it just gives it just gives that board or the

3:54:45 superintendent you got any preference

3:54:46 there dr rindo it says the superintendent shall you’re okay with

3:54:51 that yeah because usually

3:54:53 that’s superintendent or designate perfect should be good

3:54:57 everybody okay with that yeah all right

3:55:00 moving on we have next one up apologize let me get to this next

3:55:06 one up is 95 55 it’s inside your neola

3:55:10 it’s partnerships with businesses kind of gives a you know

3:55:14 fluffy i think this is maybe more for smaller

3:55:17 districts like it has to do with being a part of a consortium

3:55:20 yep so i don’t know that this one

3:55:22 works yeah it’s kind of like like nefax and paces and all of

3:55:27 those ones that they want to be

3:55:29 yeah the ones at the smaller so i don’t think we need i mean

3:55:31 right now superintendent can join any of the

3:55:34 organizations not join you know that i mean like there’s not a

3:55:37 allowing him to be free i don’t think

3:55:38 all right moving on the next one up is i have 96 but let me see

3:55:46 make sure here

3:55:47 9600 staff student participation in community events

3:55:54 it’s pretty much identical as what we had from the other ones i

3:55:57 had written down probably from the

3:56:01 neola example a um superintendent shall okay so so the neola

3:56:06 version says

3:56:07 oh i was on the wrong one hang on um a community activities and

3:56:14 events which are related to the

3:56:15 district’s course of study are appropriate appropriate into such

3:56:18 courses i had just written down an

3:56:20 example of that is the brevard symphony orchestra concert for

3:56:24 the fifth graders so i think this is

3:56:27 this is good the way that is it works with what we’re doing yeah

3:56:29 it’s pretty much identical

3:56:30 all right moving on this next one on the neola is 97 what do we

3:56:39 have here 9700 working with special

3:56:41 interest groups all right go again anybody wish to change so

3:56:44 there’s no neola update on our 9700

3:56:48 that we currently did that one first yeah but this is neola’s is

3:56:53 like our 9702

3:56:55 so neola’s advertising commercial activities if you go over to

3:57:02 ours it’s like our 9702

3:57:08 um they don’t you see that yep um ours is in on our 9702 they’re

3:57:20 very similar ours is more comprehensive

3:57:24 um it has an administrative procedure i just would like staff to

3:57:27 make sure that they’re updated so like

3:57:30 97 so neola 9700.01 advertising and commercial activities is

3:57:36 identical to our advertising and

3:57:39 community and commercial activities well it’s similar ours is

3:57:42 more comprehensive right i’m sorry i meant

3:57:44 the name yeah right i apologize so there’s some cross-reference

3:57:48 so you would you guys like to move

3:57:51 it’s kind of like it’s like it’s all because our 9700.01 has to

3:57:56 do a special entrance interest group

3:57:59 recruiting students in the classroom which is like the boy scout

3:58:02 girl scout policy but even though it

3:58:04 doesn’t it’s not called that right but there’s specific rules

3:58:07 and statutes related to that that

3:58:10 like they if they’re gonna they’re gonna they can come in the

3:58:12 classroom and do a presentation to try to

3:58:14 recruit boys and girls to do boy scouts and girl scouts or

3:58:16 whatever those type of clubs but they have to

3:58:18 follow all these rules it’s in the letter home and all of that

3:58:21 so i don’t know if we need to

3:58:22 neola doesn’t really have one of those um i think ours is fine

3:58:27 but if we want to renumber it to

3:58:28 something else we’ll renumber it to what theirs is or you just

3:58:32 keep 9702 because and just not do the

3:58:36 neola 97.01 just leave it yeah i mean we can just leave it i i

3:58:39 think our 9700.01 which is the boy scout

3:58:42 girl scout policy is fine i concur 9702 is fine right um but

3:58:46 just keep going keep going but just

3:58:49 on the administrative procedure no no no no um ours doesn’t have

3:58:53 any the only thing on 9700.01 hours the

3:58:56 boy scout girl scout policy doesn’t have any legal references

3:59:00 and so there wasn’t anything for me to

3:59:02 look and go i’m sure all this has to come from somewhere it may

3:59:06 have come from years ago district

3:59:08 staff saying this is these are things but i’m pretty sure there’s

3:59:11 some regulations around yeah

3:59:13 there’s a statute that authorizes them coming into the classroom

3:59:16 yeah okay so what i would say is

3:59:17 there’s just a bunch of the reference that there’s about three

3:59:20 or four yeah and and just make sure

3:59:22 we’re not missing anything i mean yola doesn’t have anything so

3:59:25 i i don’t know you know it’s hard for

3:59:27 us to know are we are we keeping up with everything but we

3:59:29 should at least add the reference there’s three

3:59:32 or four of these that are cross-referenced on you know if you

3:59:34 guys can just get through it and figure

3:59:35 out what the best case scenario is all right next one up 9800

3:59:38 charter schools oh wait we didn’t do

3:59:40 9701 that’s where i was just like i just told him like look you

3:59:43 know where our direction is if you

3:59:45 want to reline it and do everything yeah but 9701 is different

3:59:49 are they yeah it is it’s material

3:59:51 literature students right this was what i thought you were

3:59:55 talking about okay now i was talking about

3:59:56 9700.01 right and that one is identical to our 92.9701 yet which

4:00:03 neola doesn’t have just we do i thought

4:00:05 you were speaking to that as the um the boy scout girl scout

4:00:09 policy right no that’s 9700.01 right so

4:00:12 we can go 9701 distribution of materials and literature to

4:00:15 students pretty uh this has some things that

4:00:20 are like sections so so neola’s 9700 um about working with

4:00:26 special interest group this has some that are

4:00:30 like neola’s section c of 9700 um our and i looked at our we

4:00:35 have some administrative procedures for this

4:00:38 that seem to be out of date um so i this one actually just came

4:00:44 up recently yeah it did yeah it did i think

4:00:49 it was misinterpreted um but if we just we don’t have a neola

4:00:54 guideline to go with this but we need to

4:00:57 um because it was it was taken and just like i talk around us to

4:01:02 be very specific when we were talking

4:01:04 about distributing the um the constitutions right the pocket

4:01:08 constitutions and i’m just going to ignore

4:01:11 the part that people like drastically blew that up and said that

4:01:13 the declaration of independence that

4:01:15 constitution and the actual oath that people say when they

4:01:18 become citizens of our country

4:01:20 are you know propaganda um it’s it’s um supplemental

4:01:24 instructional materials and it went through the

4:01:27 process that was supposed to go through which was last year and

4:01:29 this year it went through the assistant

4:01:31 superintendent who had the content specialist both years take a

4:01:34 look at it same thing when i’ve had

4:01:36 groups approached me and say hey we want to give dictionaries to

4:01:39 all the third graders at whatever

4:01:40 same thing brought it to at the time jane klein hey can you have

4:01:45 she had her content specialist look

4:01:47 through the dictionary make sure it’s just a rare old dictionary

4:01:50 and got the proper approval this right

4:01:52 here this policy is to me very specific to um like

4:01:59 advertisements and other things this is not

4:02:04 we have a thing so if someone wants to pass out information

4:02:08 about an event coming up they have to

4:02:10 go through mr brune’s office correct and we it has a disclaimer

4:02:14 that says this is not doesn’t represent the

4:02:17 views of revard public schools um but they can send it out um

4:02:22 you know or put it into folders or whatever

4:02:25 so you know there’s not a neola template on this this is a revard

4:02:30 specific policy but it’s fine i’m

4:02:33 fine with it the way that it is um but if staff wants to take if

4:02:36 we need to make that more clear

4:02:37 so we don’t run into the problem again the only note the note i

4:02:42 had on when i reviewed it was

4:02:43 to discuss with the board if you wanted to add language about

4:02:47 donations and that was because of

4:02:48 the constitutions we were technically a donation and not help me

4:02:53 donations and not

4:02:54 it was a donation of a primary source in lieu of a supplemental

4:02:58 material primary source thank you

4:03:00 and so i don’t know if that’s the i don’t need to react to that

4:03:02 but if it’s a you know we do get

4:03:04 donations that don’t necessarily fit into other categories at

4:03:07 our schools um and then the other

4:03:09 part of that is do you want to discuss any type of attached

4:03:11 documentation that would be required or

4:03:13 be prohibited um that would go along with donations i have no

4:03:18 opinion either way i just wanted to bring

4:03:20 it up for the suspension do you have an example of what you

4:03:22 would mean um ability to you know put

4:03:26 their logo on that uh the donation or a qr code oh you mean like

4:03:31 if they’re asking where yeah are they

4:03:34 gonna take you one step removed and then they’re gonna be able

4:03:37 to talk to the student about what they

4:03:39 want um if that’s something the board has an appetite for um

4:03:43 otherwise it’s fine the way it is

4:03:45 i i’m fine with it the way that it is um i mean you know i think

4:03:52 we need to deal with that on a

4:03:53 case-by-case basis where we’re actually looking at the actual

4:03:55 item which in this case we did

4:03:57 um i think it’s the legalese and then you start going i’m fine

4:04:00 with the latest yeah yeah yeah all right

4:04:03 to be honest with you because the thing is because people had

4:04:06 problems with websites being on things

4:04:09 but on our advertising we sell for our planners and i think this

4:04:14 is the point dr rindell brought up to

4:04:16 me on our planners on whatever we businesses are putting their

4:04:20 websites does it mean we’re endorsing

4:04:24 that that dentist or daycare or air conditioning repair people

4:04:31 you know we have we have those

4:04:33 things all over things that we’re handing to our kids um there

4:04:37 are signs all over the field right from

4:04:40 sponsors um i think i think this is fine way it is unless you

4:04:45 know if there’s clarification if in

4:04:48 that process kind of highlighted this if there was something

4:04:51 this my suggestion would be if there was

4:04:53 something that we needed in policy to make that more crystal

4:04:56 clear for staff that would be helpful

4:04:58 i would be interested in working that but i feel like we did

4:05:03 process and it was handled even though it

4:05:06 wasn’t the public kind of some of the public got upset and took

4:05:09 it the wrong way um but if it would

4:05:11 be helpful the staff to be more clear and from the board’s

4:05:14 direction i we can i’d be happy to do that

4:05:16 okay with that you guys good yeah i have a question i’m gonna i’m

4:05:20 gonna ask some questions here about

4:05:22 this um because we talk about clubs in this quite a bit too so

4:05:25 as we get in here can you give me an

4:05:26 example of a non-district sponsored student initiated club

4:05:32 versus a district-sponsored student

4:05:35 initiated club what would that look like what is a non-district

4:05:39 versus fca i think fca

4:05:42 that’s not my problem boys and girls club would be a good

4:05:45 example because it’s a right district

4:05:48 um american region gay straight alliance key club yeah interact

4:05:54 club those are sponsored by a local

4:05:57 organization or even like wouldn’t like a future farmers or the

4:06:02 technology whatever because those are

4:06:04 like national or state organizations as opposed to a school

4:06:07 sponsored club which would be like student

4:06:09 government yeah honor society okay those would be school

4:06:13 sponsored but then you could have

4:06:15 like i said interact rotary and they all have to be student-led

4:06:19 for clarification they cannot be

4:06:20 teacher-led is that correct well you need a sponsor sponsor but

4:06:25 it’s supposed to be student-led correct

4:06:27 um and then as far as like the advertising and material like i’m

4:06:32 just reading in here and going through like

4:06:33 like it looks like really clubs shouldn’t really even be talked

4:06:38 about or advertised at all based on the

4:06:40 policy during the school day am i understanding that correctly

4:06:43 or no uh where are you seeing that

4:06:46 all right hold on because i think they can like have any

4:06:49 announcements and stuff right

4:06:54 okay hold on i’m sorry i found something i was like you got like

4:06:58 three policies left i know i don’t want

4:07:00 it’s four o’clock i’m like we’re doing great i know we’re doing

4:07:03 great i know last one just saying

4:07:04 and leave one left over at the end no no no they have a deadline

4:07:10 they have to bring them back to us

4:07:12 in january i know listen yeah i just thought it’d be fun okay

4:07:16 maybe not sorry i read that backwards i

4:07:18 think because this looks like it again well if it if it says

4:07:21 that we need to be careful well this is

4:07:23 this is for yeah we don’t distribute materials or literature to

4:07:27 students that are paid for

4:07:30 they’re non-profits that can get access if they go through the

4:07:33 proper process right so written materials

4:07:35 distributed by students from tables or booths may not be

4:07:38 distributed during instructional hours or during the

4:07:41 transition time between classes the principal may allow the

4:07:44 distribution of written material

4:07:46 before the school day begins during lunch periods or after the

4:07:49 instructional day ends all right sorry

4:07:52 i’m just this is one that’s come up a couple times for me so oh

4:07:56 shoot my battery’s dying huh

4:07:58 what would you like to do this right i i don’t know that’s why i’m

4:08:03 just you want to table this one

4:08:05 no make us come back it’s got to come back anyway it’s got to

4:08:07 come back anyways i know so

4:08:10 well except for we were saying it was okay except for the

4:08:13 administrative procedure

4:08:14 it’s going to come back if y’all if y’all have something you

4:08:17 need us to do

4:08:18 yeah that to make it more clear if if you think it needs to be

4:08:21 more clear and honestly i had written

4:08:24 down here administrator procedure is out of date question mark

4:08:26 but i now i can’t find what i thought

4:08:28 was out of date i think it was the five cents per page or

4:08:31 something yeah there’s as a result from the

4:08:35 commencement of the 2010-2011 school year and each year henceforth

4:08:38 each entity desiring the district

4:08:39 to distribute their literature to students in the classroom on

4:08:42 their behalf shall pay a five

4:08:44 cent fee for every student registered to the school where the

4:08:46 literature literature is to be

4:08:48 distributed so i don’t know if that’s we’re even doing that yeah

4:08:51 we probably need to take that out

4:08:52 because i don’t think we’re collecting that yeah so anyway the

4:08:54 administrative procedure needs to be

4:08:56 well we’re going to make that correction we have to bring it

4:08:59 back to you anyway i think the other thing that would be wise is

4:09:01 for the

4:09:02 uh the uh the clubs to be displayed maybe on our website tied to

4:09:06 that school i see some schools that

4:09:07 are doing it really well and others where i’m like they have no

4:09:10 clubs what’s going on so um just so

4:09:12 that you know i don’t think the community they will look there

4:09:15 and they’ll see what’s available for

4:09:17 their students so all right that’s all okay all right come on

4:09:26 yep 9702 here we go guys we did this one

4:09:29 already because this is the one oh yeah neola’s 9700 that’s

4:09:33 right the only issue the only issue that we

4:09:35 have here and and i apologize because i had it in my notes on

4:09:38 this one um is that we’re saying on here

4:09:41 that we’re not signage or in school buses we start talking about

4:09:46 some of the advertising um requirements

4:09:50 that are in here are inhibitive of us expanding our advertising

4:09:54 footprint um if it’s okay with you guys i would

4:09:57 like to work with dr rendell about opportunities that we have to

4:10:01 raise money because look we have those

4:10:03 large vans that are running around once they run three times a

4:10:06 week we can have those wrapped with

4:10:08 advertising you know then there’s an opportunity for us to do

4:10:11 some of that and there’s some inhibitive

4:10:13 policies inside of here with both solids you know that i mean i

4:10:16 would like to work with them on a you

4:10:18 know and bring that back when it comes back if that’s okay there’s

4:10:22 some it allows us to advertise

4:10:24 on demand there’s opportunities to advertise on buses there’s

4:10:27 opportunities and i’m not saying we do it

4:10:29 i’m just saying we look at it as an opportunity to possibly

4:10:32 increase our revenue sources yeah

4:10:34 i’m just looking at those legal references from neola’s 9700.01

4:10:40 one of them has to do it’s the same one

4:10:41 about use of buildings and grounds that we control that and

4:10:43 other one yeah there’s harmful materials so that’s

4:10:46 probably like why we can’t do some restrictions on the buses

4:10:49 there’s some you know what i mean i would

4:10:51 just like to say if there’s an opportunity for us to advertise

4:10:54 we leave it open and then we take it

4:10:56 back and when somebody comes in and says hey i have this idea we

4:10:59 can always tell them no but the

4:11:00 opportunity is is that if it’s there we can do it i would love

4:11:04 to increase this um opportunity yeah so if

4:11:08 you guys are okay with that i’ll get with dr rendell it won’t be

4:11:10 anything that’s outside the scope of

4:11:11 legal legal but increase our stuff okay is that cool yeah okay

4:11:16 everybody good with that all right and

4:11:19 i think i know why miss tara harris is here 9800 charter schools

4:11:23 yes so for 9800 page document oh yes it’s

4:11:28 a lengthy this is a lengthy one we just want to go with neola

4:11:33 but with just a few modifications um basically

4:11:36 under that section around the application contents we would like

4:11:41 to um recommend option one okay where

4:11:44 is the page the application procedure is that what you’re

4:11:47 talking about it is under it is let’s see

4:11:50 application content so it’s the third page 79 oh wow that’s the

4:11:55 fourth page i think i know that has

4:11:58 to do with special education i thought i found it 54. okay that’s

4:12:04 where i was oh i went too far okay

4:12:08 option one applicants are required to sign under the penalties

4:12:10 perjury statement of assurances

4:12:12 you wanted to go with which option option one um and that’s just

4:12:17 going with the application that uh

4:12:19 aligns with the doe okay yeah so we just need to update this one

4:12:28 with the july updates right besides

4:12:31 yes with the federal grant um parts and services okay yeah okay

4:12:38 okay so when we redevise this policy a

4:12:41 couple years ago basically what they did they took every statute

4:12:44 that has to do with charter schools and

4:12:45 put it all in the same policy that’s why it’s so lengthy that’s

4:12:48 why it’s so yeah when you got

4:12:49 two pages of statute for the end which means after this session

4:12:52 with all the dereg maybe some of that

4:12:54 so you’re good to bring that back ms harris okay so there’s the

4:12:58 last one on ours is 9950

4:13:00 but there’s one that says 9900 that i really i know me too

4:13:05 really because i had written down not

4:13:07 necessary why why would you not do that let’s go do this what it

4:13:10 was i love this trying to still get

4:13:11 through 9800 i love this you have a history teacher here so that

4:13:15 i i will tell you that we could do

4:13:16 nothing better than to award vietnam and korean and world war ii

4:13:20 veterans there are the high school

4:13:21 diploma and ours who had not already done that yeah this is a

4:13:25 cool project i think we add the policy i

4:13:28 think we add it that would be such an honor to be able to do

4:13:31 that we can have some fun here ma’am i

4:13:35 really do i’m in favor of it i think i i had just written not

4:13:38 necessary because i wondered do we need

4:13:40 to have a policy if this happens that someone comes forth can we

4:13:43 just do it i think we can

4:13:46 we we can have we ever done it before an honorary diploma it’s

4:13:49 in policy okay i want to i want to

4:13:51 you know this there’s no harm in adopting this even though i don’t

4:13:55 like to add policy but

4:13:56 and then we could you know do so have maybe some rot all the rtc

4:14:01 programs do a little research to see

4:14:03 if there’s anybody we need to oh cool that sounds like a good

4:14:05 research project for it yeah for a senior

4:14:07 yeah oh i mean this is each rotc program can take on their local

4:14:12 yeah man this would be great okay

4:14:15 all right last one 99.50 television station

4:14:18 i’ve got question marks i’d write and keep question mark update

4:14:25 question mark is it accurate

4:14:26 still question mark television station i think we should have

4:14:29 our own tv stations at our house

4:14:30 do we we don’t still have our well we do have we do have the

4:14:35 spectrum this is this supply to spectrum

4:14:38 yeah we’re yeah we’re always broadcasting on there um something

4:14:41 we’re we are in there schools that have

4:14:44 television stations we have one prune’s been doing stuff with

4:14:47 rock paper simple right i know but i

4:14:50 didn’t know if like is it still is it still accurate what’s in

4:14:55 here reflective of the way we do it now

4:14:57 because it’s got a youtube channel i don’t think that that doesn’t

4:15:02 count

4:15:05 and under this policy are you good with the way that it is yeah

4:15:09 the the paragraph that starts therefore

4:15:11 the board is exercising its option you know that’s these

4:15:15 meetings keep our community informed about

4:15:18 you know district policies finance operations okay um and

4:15:22 youtube is considered in my world a channel

4:15:26 as well as well as well that we have and that’s always

4:15:28 accessible as well so okay i i don’t have

4:15:31 no i’ve i like that we have a tv channel i just didn’t know if

4:15:34 it because i it’s the television

4:15:35 station part is some of the language it was like is that it’s

4:15:39 yes it’s it’s cable access but um

4:15:44 it’s still accurate okay okay and then i our administrative

4:15:47 procedure is that still accurate

4:15:49 let me look at that i didn’t have a problem with any of it i

4:15:55 just um

4:15:58 i don’t know in the world of cable and streaming some of it

4:16:01 seems outdated but i like it yeah

4:16:04 i mean you take it figure it out what needs to be on there and

4:16:06 bring it back if it’s fine then

4:16:08 don’t bring it back yeah we’re not gonna have we do abide by

4:16:12 these still okay cool beans thank you

4:16:14 all right everybody else anybody else have anything board

4:16:17 members got anything you wish to say

4:16:19 anybody got anything no okay

4:16:26 so bear with me um i had a lot of conversations uh over the past

4:16:34 all over the past couple weeks if

4:16:36 i’m being honest um and i had given a heads up to uh dr rindell

4:16:40 that i was going to say what i’m

4:16:42 going to say i mean i didn’t give him the words that i’m going

4:16:44 to say but he knew i was going to bring

4:16:45 this up and i am purposely bringing it up now be out of respect

4:16:49 of the people who are being appointed

4:16:51 tonight also because it’s less people paying attention if i’m

4:16:55 being honest

4:16:56 um i feel an obligation to say this i feel an obligation to put

4:17:00 it out there publicly as a

4:17:02 statement um again because i don’t want to have to explain it

4:17:05 later tonight i just don’t think it’s

4:17:07 fair to everybody who’s in the room and i am literally going to

4:17:11 read what i wrote because i don’t want my

4:17:13 words being uh misinterpreted or twisted around because i can

4:17:18 literally go back and look at them

4:17:20 so tonight we have an administrative appointment that i am very

4:17:25 concerned with and i asked to have

4:17:29 this conversation like i said just so that we’re not bringing

4:17:31 this up one of the other appointments

4:17:32 tonight we have an employee who had two significant infractions

4:17:37 in four months the first which

4:17:40 i think was a consequence of extreme grace taking away pto hours

4:17:46 after fraudulently reporting tarn cards

4:17:49 i call that a significant amount of grace retaining their

4:17:52 position and their pay

4:17:53 second a prejudiced comment about a population of students that

4:17:57 are significant at their school

4:17:59 this led our superintendent to want to move for termination

4:18:05 eventually being moved to offer

4:18:07 resignation again an offer of grace which was accepted by that

4:18:12 employee and it was posted onto our october

4:18:15 10th agenda this agreement was then removed from the agenda

4:18:18 because a board member had encouraged the

4:18:21 superintendent to do so invoking that this individual was

4:18:24 related to a current school board candidate

4:18:26 this candidate who showed up at the board meeting that day and

4:18:30 came up and shook all of our hands on the

4:18:32 dais dr rendell told me that he had agreed to remove the item to

4:18:37 ensure that the appropriate protocol was

4:18:39 followed for the disciplinary action and i want to be clear it

4:18:43 was my genuine impression that dr rendell

4:18:46 was uncomfortable with what transpired i’m not blaming him for

4:18:49 the steps that were taken

4:18:51 he told me he originally wanted to move for termination because

4:18:55 those comments are unacceptable here at bps

4:18:58 his own words to me in conversation pointed out the absurdity

4:19:01 such as how can i justify moving this

4:19:04 individual with comments like that do we put them in a school

4:19:07 with a smaller hispanic population again

4:19:10 highlighting how absurd that would be he told me he wanted

4:19:13 resignation and again offered to allow them

4:19:17 to resign to offer grace and before someone attempts to refute

4:19:22 my claims i’m going to be very specific when this

4:19:24 happened it was on october 10th before the executive session in

4:19:28 dr renzel’s office he informed all of

4:19:31 you after that executive session that him and i had already

4:19:33 spoken that day and he needed to speak with

4:19:35 all of you individually next i’m informed that the decision was

4:19:39 revised to a six-day suspension without

4:19:41 pay and it was posted on our october 24th agenda as well as the

4:19:45 offer to continue to to be a part of bps

4:19:51 and teach at gardendale with the opportunity to reapply for an

4:19:54 administrative position in the future

4:19:55 an offer i wasn’t necessarily comfortable with but i had

4:19:59 expressed that i recognized that the

4:20:01 consequences were significant so i didn’t push further the offer

4:20:04 that i assumed meant the ability

4:20:07 to reapply would be for the next school year for a position of

4:20:10 leadership not a week or two after their

4:20:11 disciplinary consequence i shouldn’t have to state this but

4:20:15 someone with two significant disciplinary

4:20:18 infractions in four months now leading a school in the area of

4:20:21 discipline is not right if someone

4:20:24 doesn’t regulate their own actions and accept the consequences

4:20:27 of those actions we have no business

4:20:29 policing the rules on the students let alone with the bias from

4:20:31 the prejudice statement that was made in

4:20:33 their second offense we serve every student with excellence by

4:20:36 having excellence at the top

4:20:38 and the excellence at the top is the staff who reported the infractions

4:20:42 in the first place

4:20:43 those are the people we should be praising and supporting not

4:20:46 making them stand beside someone

4:20:48 tonight accepting this position of leadership it’s diminishing

4:20:51 the fact that they put themselves on

4:20:52 the line to tell the truth and it subsequently diminishes the

4:20:55 personal accomplishments of those

4:20:57 who are being appointed tonight it’s a privilege to be trusted

4:21:00 by parents to be responsible for their

4:21:02 children what would the family feel knowing all this happened

4:21:05 after they hung up the phone that day

4:21:08 what does it say about the value of that child their family and

4:21:10 the community that they live in and what

4:21:12 does it say about the staff that was offended and uncomfortable

4:21:14 with what transpired

4:21:15 this individual was on our agenda now three meanings in a row

4:21:19 for very different reasons first

4:21:21 resignation then a disciplinary action and now an appointment to

4:21:24 a leadership position when in the

4:21:26 history of bps has that ever happened this would have never

4:21:30 happened if it wasn’t for nepotism dr rindell

4:21:33 would have never been encouraged to remove the resignation by a

4:21:37 sitting board member this wouldn’t have happened

4:21:40 if any employee not related to a school board candidate was on

4:21:44 that agenda i am tired of standing up and

4:21:48 saying the hard things by myself if this individual was a friend

4:21:51 or family member of mine

4:21:53 you all would be up in arms right now i didn’t seek out this

4:21:58 information this was brought to me by our

4:22:01 superintendent the person who’s supposed to have the authority

4:22:04 to make the decisions that he made

4:22:05 i wouldn’t have any clue that this person was related to

4:22:09 somebody or that a board member had

4:22:11 involved themselves if i wasn’t told by the superintendent

4:22:14 himself so now i have a responsibility to speak about

4:22:17 it these infractions wouldn’t be tolerated in any other

4:22:20 workplace let alone rewarded

4:22:23 this is my district it’s the community i live in and it is my

4:22:26 child’s future school wrong is wrong if no one’s watching

4:22:30 i want to be clear the personnel file is public the staff at the

4:22:38 school knows

4:22:39 the families know people already are talking we are responsible

4:22:45 for our vote tonight we are responsible for

4:22:48 the decisions we make tonight i wanted an opportunity to put

4:22:52 this on record what transpired my viewpoints

4:22:54 and to make it clear that everyone up here was either already

4:22:58 aware or now you are aware

4:23:00 and again i’m not i’m not doing this to have a debate about it i

4:23:04 intentionally felt the need after

4:23:07 finding out about it i couldn’t keep it i couldn’t keep it to

4:23:10 myself and for me to pull someone tonight and

4:23:12 not explain why i felt would be disingenuous to the public so

4:23:17 out of respect i did it in this

4:23:19 workshop so it would have less attention on it and so that it’s
