2024-03-12 - School Board Meeting

0:00 Thank you.

3:29 I’d like to welcome my fellow board members and the public to

3:32 our meeting.

3:33 It’s encouraging to see so many faces participating in local

3:35 governance for the school district here.

3:37 I politely ask that the public refrain from any type of comments

3:42 or loud outbursts, disruptions, distractions, things that will

3:46 take away from the business of the board.

3:49 Paul, roll call, roll call, roll call, roll call.

3:57 Okay.

3:58 At this time, the board will take a hold a moment of silence and

4:01 I invite the audience to join.

4:02 All right, we are going to rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.

4:26 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the flag of the flag of the

4:34 United States of America and to the republic for which it stands,

4:40 one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for

4:44 all.

4:45 All right, that brings us to the adoption of the agenda, Dr.

4:52 Rendell.

4:54 Thank you, Madam Chair.

4:56 On this morning’s agenda, we have one consent item, 124 public

5:01 hearing items and one action item.

5:03 Do I hear a motion?

5:04 Move to approve.

5:05 Second.

5:05 Any discussion?

5:07 No?

5:08 All right, Paul, roll call.

5:10 Ms. Jenkins?

5:11 Aye.

5:12 Ms. Campbell?

5:13 Aye.

5:14 Ms. Wright?

5:15 Aye.

5:16 Mr. Trent?

5:17 Aye.

5:18 All right, we are not the public comments portion of the meeting.

5:19 Mr. Gibbs, how many public comments do you have?

5:21 None yet.

5:22 None.

5:23 All right.

5:24 So, I guess I don’t need to read all of this fun stuff then, if

5:28 we’re not having any.

5:30 All right.

5:31 Yes, we will be having public comments when it comes to the

5:34 policy, so I will give you

5:36 guys the opportunity if there’s a specific policy that you want

5:38 to address.

5:39 So, I know everyone’s going, wait a minute.

5:40 We have a list.

5:42 You do have a list of public comments.

5:43 I’m sorry.

5:44 Okay.

5:45 Let me.

5:46 All right.

5:47 We’re just rolling this morning, huh?

5:49 Nine.

5:50 Ms. Okay.

5:52 I apologize.

5:53 We have nine numbers of speakers.

5:55 You will each receive three minutes.

5:56 In an effort to remain unbiased, the speakers will be called to

5:59 the podium by our parliamentarian,

6:00 such as Mr. Gibbs, our attorney, and he will also manage the

6:03 clock.

6:03 I would like to take this opportunity to remind the public of

6:06 the rules written out in board

6:07 policy 0169.1.

6:10 All comments should be directed to the board or individual board

6:12 members.

6:13 Staff members or other individuals shall not be addressed by

6:15 name.

6:16 Abusive, obscene, or irrelevant comments will not be permitted.

6:19 All right.

6:21 We’re ready.

6:22 All right.

6:23 Ready?

6:24 All right.

6:26 Ready?

6:27 All right.

6:29 Ready?

6:30 You’re good.

6:31 All right.

6:31 So my name is Leah Nepo, and I currently serve as the prevention

6:40 specialist for Serene Harbor.

6:42 Serene Harbor is a certified domestic violence center located in

6:46 southern Brevard.

6:47 And certified means that we have a commitment to meet rigorous

6:50 standards.

6:50 As a prevention specialist, my mission is clear, to provide

6:54 education that prevents domestic violence and teen dating

6:57 violence.

6:57 In my role, I employ various strategies to promote safe dating

7:00 practices, and I raise awareness about unhealthy relationships.

7:04 This includes collaborating with schools and local organizations

7:06 to deliver age-appropriate educational sessions, and to achieve

7:09 the best practices.

7:10 And I’m going to be able to do that.

7:11 I’m going to be able to do that.

7:44 It’s important to note that this activity has undergone thorough

7:48 review to ensure that

7:49 it aligns with the county’s requirements and is sensitive to

7:53 triggers.

7:54 I am a 21-year-old graduate of college, but I would have not

7:57 completed college, or even

7:58 high school for that matter, had it not been when I was 13 and a

8:01 school provided me with

8:03 support and resources.

8:05 I needed that education and support.

8:07 That experience leads me into my field, and my commitment is

8:11 driven by the belief that

8:12 there are other young individuals in Brevard County that are

8:15 facing challenges at the age

8:17 of 13, struggling in silence, and hidden from view.

8:20 In fact, I know that is true.

8:23 I have faced challenges in my position at Serene Harbor that

8:27 have hindered our efforts to offer

8:29 support and resources to those affected by domestic violence.

8:33 Despite the proven effectiveness of this approach, there are

8:36 many schools that are hesitant to

8:38 participate, perpetuating a cycle of silence that hampers

8:42 progress in addressing violence.

8:45 Witnessing firsthand the impact of abuse on individuals in our

8:49 center daily, it’s clear that these

8:50 issues are prevalent among Brevard County students, including

8:55 parents.

8:56 You may like to believe that this is not happening in our

8:59 children’s homes or in our schools, but

9:01 it is.

9:03 Statistics prove that one in 12 female students will experience

9:06 violence, and for males, that

9:07 is one in 15.

9:09 We don’t get to choose who that one teen is, but one is too many

9:12 when we have the education

9:14 to prevent this.

9:16 Empowerment through knowledge and protection through education

9:19 are crucial in addressing

9:20 domestic violence.

9:21 It is imperative for Brevard County to prioritize the well-being

9:25 of our youth by overcoming fear

9:27 fear and censorship, and actively engaging in efforts to address

9:32 this effectively.

9:33 In summary, censorship is not just a minor inconvenience, it can

9:37 be a matter of life and death.

9:39 And I appeal to you to support the essential education on this

9:42 matter for our youth.

9:44 Thank you.

9:45 Thank you, Leah.

9:45 Andrea Claussen, Bernard Bryan, and Brian Hollington.

9:53 Hi there.

9:54 This is my first time speaking before the board, and I felt

10:00 compelled this time when I saw a

10:04 list of items that were being considered by the board.

10:07 It was bad enough that you guys decided to ban books.

10:12 Now you’re transferring that to textbooks.

10:16 Parental rights.

10:17 What happened to that?

10:19 It used to be an individual parent’s right and responsibility to

10:24 look at their child’s education,

10:26 and you want to take that away by just simply removing things

10:30 off the shelves now and taking

10:32 materials away from teachers.

10:35 Enough is enough.

10:37 The rest of the nation is starting to realize what you have done

10:41 is wrong, and you at Brevard

10:43 County just want to continue pushing that envelope.

10:48 This textbook ban that you guys are considering, one parent

10:51 objecting to what’s being taught

10:53 in a textbook, that is opening the door for a neo-Nazi parent to

10:58 walk through those doors

11:01 and object to how slavery or the Holocaust is taught in a book.

11:06 And that book is going to be taken away from our social study

11:09 teachers.

11:10 It’s going to allow one person, based on their religion, to

11:14 object to how science is being

11:16 taught, and all of a sudden biology books are going to be taken

11:20 off the shelves.

11:22 When is it going to stop?

11:24 You have not done one thing to enrich or protect children.

11:28 Not one.

11:30 You say you’re about parents’ rights, but yet you have something

11:33 on your agenda that’s going

11:35 to take parent rights away if they don’t want to follow your

11:38 moral and religious teachings.

11:40 I believe it’s how that’s worded.

11:43 Who determines what my moral or religious teachings are?

11:48 Not the five of you.

11:50 That’s my determination.

11:51 That’s made in the home.

11:54 Not addressed by a school board.

11:57 Not only is it not one parent’s right to object to a book for

12:02 everybody else, I personally don’t

12:04 believe that’s in your position to do so as a board.

12:08 Your job as a board is to provide all materials for all students

12:16 and all teachers.

12:19 And then it’s a parent’s responsibility, not right,

12:23 responsibility to look at what’s being

12:26 taught.

12:27 And if they don’t like it, then they say something.

12:30 That’s called opt out.

12:31 It’s always been there.

12:33 It’s not something new.

12:36 So I implore you today, stop the insanity.

12:41 Look at what you’re doing and put some commonplace, common sense

12:46 into place.

12:48 Thank you.

12:53 Bernard Bryan, Bryan Hollington, and Roxanna Koble.

12:58 I don’t know.

12:59 Whatever.

13:00 Good morning, board.

13:01 Good morning, Dr. Rendell.

13:02 Again, my name is Bernard Bryan.

13:05 And I’m not an educator.

13:07 I got to confess to that.

13:09 But I love Brevard Public School students.

13:11 So I’m a member of five SAC teams and it’s a ton of work.

13:17 And I got to tell you, I am so proud of Brevard Public School

13:22 students.

13:23 And I’m so proud to be able to work with the schools that I do

13:25 work with.

13:26 But just from looking at data, what I’ve noticed through data

13:31 that we have an opportunity to

13:33 improve every child learning opportunities.

13:36 And I think one of that gap that is missing is parental

13:40 engagement.

13:42 So what we have noticed is that some schools, especially choice

13:46 schools, have a parental engagement

13:48 agreement.

13:50 But I’m asking that this board and the staff consider to

13:54 implement parental engagement

13:57 agreement across the board.

13:59 Because data have showed that if the parents are engaged, and I’m

14:03 not talking about involvement.

14:06 I’m talking about parental engagement.

14:08 That parent is engaged in that child learning opportunities,

14:12 partnering with teachers, trying

14:14 to make sure that child has what he needs to be successful.

14:18 And I’m asking that this board will consider using that secret

14:23 sauce not only in choice schools,

14:26 but also in other schools as well.

14:29 And Brevard Public School did a tremendous training out of this

14:32 book called Powerful Partnership.

14:37 It’s a tremendous book that talks about parental engagement.

14:41 And it really says that parental engagement begins with the

14:44 leadership team.

14:46 So I’m asking, you know, if there’s some laws that’s possible

14:50 that may be violated because

14:51 of this, that we considered using that secret sauce across all

14:55 schools.

14:56 Because it’s a winning formula.

14:57 It’s the number one driver for how a child can be successful and

15:02 how a school can be successful.

15:05 And I’d also just like to thank this board, along with Dr. Dampere

15:08 and her team, on the work

15:10 they did with the disciplinary policy, I think it’s a tremendous

15:14 change that’s going to deal

15:15 with a lot of cultural things that are happening, churning in

15:18 the background.

15:19 But not unless you have data to address those issues, you can’t

15:23 solve the root cause.

15:24 So thank you for doing that.

15:26 And one of the things I hope this board would take to the next

15:29 level, though, is looking at risk ratios.

15:32 I think risk ratio is a problem.

15:36 And I hope this board will partner with the community, get

15:39 people in the communities involved,

15:41 so we can really look at root causes around what’s driving what

15:45 we call risk ratio disparity.

15:48 So pull us in the room with you, the South Barbada branch, NAACP,

15:53 Concerned Citizens of South Barbada.

15:55 I want to sit at the table with you, because our kids, all

15:58 children matter.

15:59 And my last thing I want to say, I lead a STEM team.

16:05 There were 60 kids involved in that STEM team.

16:08 One of those child were certified with Python coding at the age

16:12 of 13.

16:12 So every child can do it.

16:15 Thank you, Bernard.

16:17 Brian Hollington, Roxanna Coble, and Genevieve Rugg.

16:23 Good morning.

16:34 Forgive me if I talk fast.

16:35 I do that when I’m nervous, so please listen quickly.

16:38 I mean, how many of you know the actual First Amendment?

16:46 Can any of you quote it?

16:48 Do you know what it actually says?

16:51 Because the rules that you’re suggesting implementing are antithetical

16:56 to the First Amendment of our

16:58 very Constitution, the document that outlays the law of our land.

17:03 You claim to support the Constitution, but yet you’re trying to

17:06 implement the ability for

17:08 any parent to ban any book they feel makes them feel icky.

17:13 I mean, what right should I have just some guy that, you know,

17:23 works 40 hours a week in Brevard County, what right do I have to

17:27 dictate what your children can and cannot read?

17:30 Should I have that right?

17:34 I don’t think I should.

17:35 That is our jobs as parents to dictate what our children read.

17:40 If my children read something I don’t like, then it’s something

17:43 that I need to talk to them about.

17:46 I need to read it and understand why they want to read it and

17:50 discuss the themes and characters in the book and why it bothers

17:57 me and try to work at that point to instill my values.

18:01 I shouldn’t expect my children to automatically have my values.

18:06 I need to teach them.

18:07 If they disagree with some of them, okay, they’re their own

18:10 people.

18:11 They deserve that right.

18:12 Okay, I got way off track.

18:19 I just want to say a couple of things real quick, a little more

18:25 on the fact side as opposed to the emotional bit I just did.

18:31 This, again, going back to my original statement, is illegal.

18:35 It has been proven.

18:36 There are already cases working its way through the court system.

18:39 Penn America versus Escambia County School District, the Board

18:43 of Education versus PICO in 1982.

18:47 The Supreme Court of the United States struck down a lot just

18:51 like the one you’re trying to implement here.

18:54 How much does it cost for Brevard County to go to court, go all

19:00 the way up to the Supreme Court?

19:01 How much does it cost to refight this?

19:04 Do the taxpayers want to pay this?

19:09 These are things that you all really should think about before

19:12 implementing what you think is best for everyone else.

19:16 Thank you.

19:20 Roxana Coble, Genevieve Rugg, and Gregory Ross.

19:27 Good morning.

19:33 You need to keep vaccine schedules mandatory.

19:36 Do not relax vaccination requirements.

19:40 That will be a terrible thing for Brevard County schools.

19:45 And potentially banning textbooks is not the answer.

19:50 The separation of church and state is established for a reason.

19:53 I can hone in on that.

19:55 Let that sink in.

19:56 Think about that.

19:59 I recently took the family survey BPS put out and a lot of the

20:02 schools need more money

20:03 for repairs and upgrades and betterment for all students.

20:08 Why are some schools in Brevard County better than others?

20:11 I do a lot of students want to come to Vieira High School and

20:15 Longleaf Elementary and Vieira Middle School and things like

20:19 that.

20:19 There is a reason that students want to come to those schools

20:23 versus other schools like Johnson Middle School.

20:27 You know, board members are so excited, and not to discount the

20:35 following accomplishments, but a few meetings

20:40 ago that I attended, you guys were all excited about the

20:43 football wins, the new vice principals,

20:45 the ROTC, Mr. Gibbs’ recent award, which is really awesome, and

20:50 taking pictures, all that,

20:51 blah, blah, blah.

20:52 And as soon as the majority of the people leave and the students

20:56 leave, you guys get so sour.

20:58 And you look at your computers and all that, and it’s really

21:01 frustrating because a lot of

21:02 us come here and take time out of our day, which you guys are

21:06 getting paid to be here, we’re not.

21:09 And as soon as the public comment starts, you guys don’t share

21:12 the enthusiasm that you share

21:14 with all those other accomplishments.

21:17 We are the ones that you guys need to be listening to.

21:21 We show up to speak.

21:24 And if these comments and pleas and many smart people out here

21:27 are coming to speak, and they

21:29 make you uncomfortable, then do something about it.

21:32 You guys get up, you go to the bathroom, which, whatever, you’re

21:36 humans, but wait until break

21:37 time.

21:38 There’s people here that are in your district specifically here

21:41 to talk to you, and you’re

21:42 not here.

21:44 So these people show up, so you show up.

21:49 Normally there’s like 20 speakers here.

21:51 When you hold this meeting at an appropriate time, there’s nine

21:54 speakers today.

21:55 And I hope that I’m making a lot of them proud for the ones that

21:58 can’t be here.

21:59 Also, the few meetings ago, we had the jazz band here.

22:05 And Mr. Susan, you made a point to mention about the teacher not

22:09 getting paid to be here.

22:11 But you’re getting paid to be here, so why isn’t he getting paid

22:13 to be here?

22:14 What?

22:16 Let’s do better on that subject.

22:17 That’s my job.

22:19 They come here.

22:20 The teachers and the coaches come here because they care.

22:22 They care about the students and what’s best for them.

22:26 So pay teachers more.

22:28 Pay them to be here with their students.

22:31 And don’t ban books.

22:32 Thank you.

22:37 Genevieve Rugg, Gregory Ross, Nancy McBride.

22:41 My name is Ms. Rugg.

22:52 I’m a 56-year resident of Brevard County and have taught over 6,000

22:58 Brevard public school

22:59 students since 1992.

23:05 I’m here because we citizens are again compelled to protest the

23:09 egregious and untenable

23:11 overreach being attempted by this board.

23:16 In reference to removing the First Amendment ban on school-led

23:20 religious exercises in the

23:23 classroom, I’d like to share an incident from when I was a newer

23:27 teacher.

23:28 I was reminded by someone up on that dais that I may not require

23:33 a student to put away his

23:35 satanic Bible even during direct instruction because it infringed

23:43 on his religious freedom.

23:47 That was a broad interpretation that reminded me that students

23:52 have rights to in the classroom.

23:58 That board interpretation seems to be cast aside to pander to

24:04 special interest votes.

24:08 You have an award-winning lawyer right there.

24:11 Why must I remind you that the constitutionally guaranteed

24:15 freedom of religion equally guarantees freedom

24:20 from religion in the classroom.

24:27 State-obligated religious practice is unconstitutional and you

24:34 are not empowered to supersede that.

24:38 In regard to banning classroom textbooks on just one parent

24:45 complaint, not only does this policy

24:48 hand power to an unqualified few, but when millions of dollars

24:54 in textbooks are inevitably removed,

24:57 it will be fiscally cataclysmic.

25:04 Your too broad standard for removal could theoretically be

25:13 applied against every book ever written.

25:19 And if some special interest group should choose a course of

25:23 malicious compliance to the rule,

25:28 there may not be one book left in any classroom.

25:34 You would be left with no choice but to repeal this ill-conceived

25:39 policy or close schools.

25:42 It’s absolutely unsustainable unless your objective is to cause

25:46 our school system to collapse.

25:50 A final thought for you to contemplate.

25:54 Since I was ten years old –

25:55 Thank you, Ms. Rugg.

25:56 You can email the remainder of your speech to the board, but we

25:58 can read it.

25:59 I’ve got five sentences.

26:00 Thank you.

26:01 Your time is up.

26:02 All right.

26:03 Next speaker.

26:04 Gregory Ross, Nancy McBride, and Debbie Parker.

26:11 Good morning, board.

26:13 Thank you for the opportunity to speak.

26:15 I’m here to speak about board behavior once again.

26:19 Ms. Wright, I watched the March 5th, 2024 school board work

26:23 session just last week where

26:24 you claimed there was some misguidance in the community about BPS

26:28 policy 5320 and immunizations

26:31 and parental notifications.

26:34 It got me thinking, I’m curious, do you find it ironic that you

26:39 are here talking about misguidance

26:42 after you as a private citizen stood at this very podium in May

26:46 of 2021 during the worst pandemic

26:49 in a century and gave a public comment speech where you stated

26:54 that masks are a health concern.

26:56 In a bit of drama theater, you then went on to imply that a mask

27:00 caused a BPS student to

27:01 have a seizure.

27:03 Of course, this implication was without any supporting evidence.

27:07 You then accused the school board of having to lie to themselves

27:10 about masks so they could

27:12 sleep at night.

27:14 So I’m curious, considering it was a wave of misinformation and

27:18 disinformation from groups

27:20 like Moms for Liberty, the local Republican Party, your

27:24 supporters, and you, that wave swept

27:27 you into office in 2022.

27:29 I’m curious if you find it ironic that you would now speak from

27:33 the dais about misguidance

27:35 among the community, given your history of spreading information

27:40 from this podium and that dais.

27:42 Mr. Susan, I have watched your political career go from being

27:46 the local golden child to a well-deserving

27:48 scapegoat.

27:48 You have lost community support from both the left and the right

27:51 over the last year as you

27:53 continue to put your political ambitions over the welfare of BPS

27:56 students, teachers, and

27:57 staff.

27:58 Perhaps the local community remembers that time in 2023 when you

28:02 called BPS students

28:03 snots and idiots, and you did it to a room full of new BPS

28:07 teachers.

28:08 Great job setting the tone for those new impressionable teachers,

28:11 right?

28:12 Those teachers now know exactly how the BPS board sees students

28:16 in Brevard County.

28:17 Or perhaps the local community is watching as you continue to

28:20 try and cover up your corrupt

28:22 dealings with Commissioner Tobiah and the County Commission.

28:24 What did the local Republicans promise you in return for

28:28 changing the school district maps

28:30 and unseating Ms. Campbell and Ms. Jenkins?

28:32 Mr. Trent, I have watched your disingenuous performance at the

28:38 end of the February 6th school

28:40 board meeting with your, why can’t we all get a long speech to

28:43 the community.

28:44 I find it funny that your speech comes along at the same time as

28:47 the bad public relations finally

28:49 catches up with groups like Moms for Liberty.

28:52 Has the message from on high changed?

28:54 Need to clean up your public perception, right?

28:57 You have done things from this dais such as called BPS students

29:01 mentally and teachers.

29:03 Mentally ill, you have mocked BPS students and parents on live

29:06 TV, and you have implied

29:08 that race does not matter in BPS and systemic racism is a fallacy.

29:12 Do better.

29:15 Thank you.

29:16 Our next speaker.

29:17 Nancy McBride and Debbie Parker.

29:21 Good morning.

29:31 I have two, well, more than two issues that I wish to address,

29:35 but two major.

29:37 I’ve been a teacher for 30 years, retired, did not work in this

29:43 area, but I’m appalled that

29:46 you would take one parent’s viewpoint over textbooks.

29:50 That is my, you know, are you taking their viewpoint over mine?

29:57 My viewpoint is equally as important as theirs.

30:00 I have a 16-year-old grandson who was in the school in this

30:04 district.

30:05 When we discussed banned books, he said, you know, if they don’t

30:09 want to read it, don’t

30:11 let them, don’t read it.

30:12 But I want to.

30:15 So, are you making it, so who is smarter, you or he?

30:22 The other viewpoint I have is your idea about immunizations.

30:28 I’d like to ask all of you, how many of you grew up during the

30:31 time of polio?

30:32 I did.

30:34 You’re going to make loopholes and vaccinations.

30:38 You have no idea what you’re opening up to.

30:42 It’s horrible, if you’ve ever seen it.

30:45 I grew up during measles, mumps, rubella.

30:49 You have no earthly idea.

30:51 I’m 74 years old.

30:53 I’ve seen it all.

30:54 You open up those loopholes where people don’t have to be

30:57 vaccinated?

30:58 Good luck with that.

31:00 You know, you, I worked in rural North Carolina.

31:04 We never, never, and I’ve attended the board meetings in us.

31:09 I’ve never seen anything like this in any of the board meetings,

31:13 even in rural North Carolina.

31:14 And we were a religious county.

31:17 This is absurd.

31:19 They never took away books.

31:21 They never banned them.

31:23 This is absurd.

31:25 Thank you.

31:26 Debbie Parker.

31:31 Good morning, and thank you for the opportunity to speak today.

31:42 This is my first time speaking in Brevard County, and I speak

31:45 for myself.

31:46 I prepared to speak today while seated in the audience, so

31:49 really what I put together was real quick and hopefully makes

31:53 sense.

31:54 At the risk of having people laugh, I want you to know that Brevard

32:00 County needs to know that you are seen.

32:05 Brevard County has noticed.

32:07 Even though I’m not a Brevard resident, I’m from Volusia County,

32:11 we all need to speak out.

32:13 We’re not going to stand by.

32:14 We’re all fighting for Florida and beyond.

32:17 I really liked a lot of what I heard this morning from the

32:21 public, and I support everyone that spoke earlier.

32:26 Volusia is recently experiencing concerns beginning from the redrawing

32:31 of school attendance boundaries.

32:34 Volusia is also going through its own book banning issues and

32:38 policy rewriting attempts.

32:40 I hope that Volusia County and Brevard County start paying

32:45 attention to the news and the changes that are recently

32:48 happening in Florida.

32:49 And Florida is finally kind of maybe getting it.

32:53 And hopefully things that did not happen this session, this

32:57 recent session that just ended,

32:59 things did not progress as they had been in the wrong direction.

33:05 Hopefully Brevard and Volusia and the remainder of Florida will

33:09 start paying attention to the realities that we’re all living in.

33:12 We all need to support all the students.

33:18 In Volusia County, our strategic plan uses the word ALL over and

33:23 over and over.

33:24 It’s capitalized throughout the strategic plan.

33:27 I see you’ve got the word every here.

33:30 But really, pay attention to every student, all students, all

33:35 families, all deserve respect.

33:38 Thank you.

33:42 All right, that concludes our public comments.

33:44 Board, I’m going to give you an opportunity.

33:45 There’s been a couple things that are said.

33:46 So if anybody wants to address any of them, I’ve made comments

33:49 on these.

33:49 So I don’t know if anybody would like to address any of the

33:51 comments that were made

33:52 before we go into the regular business of the board.

33:55 Ms. Campbell.

33:55 I know this is regular practice.

33:57 I don’t think we should do this as regular practice.

33:59 But there’s been so much.

34:01 And so it’s really important.

34:02 And I appreciate everybody coming out on a Tuesday morning.

34:06 And it is frustrating to hear things that people are saying are

34:10 in the policies that aren’t.

34:12 And I hope that you will take the time to look at them

34:14 yourselves.

34:15 And if you don’t want to read through the whole policies, our

34:17 staff does a good job of highlighting.

34:19 You can just look at the highlighted green parts to see that’s

34:21 what’s changing.

34:22 If a line is being stricken, if it’s highlighted in green or

34:24 some of them are yellow, that means it’s being added.

34:27 And so I want to address a couple of things.

34:29 One, almost every change that we’re going to be going through

34:33 today in these 124 policies.

34:36 And I want to address this now because some of you are probably

34:38 going to leave before Ms. Wright starts going through the whole

34:42 thing.

34:42 And I want to make sure you hear this before we get there.

34:44 One, almost every change we get from a company called Neola.

34:48 Neola is not left or right.

34:50 They send updates to boards across the state.

34:53 And I think it’s a national company, actually, that to make sure

34:56 that with suggestions of language that will make sure that your

34:59 policies as a school district are in line with federal law and

35:02 state law.

35:03 So most of the changes we’re looking at today come straight from

35:07 Neola where they have given us, you know, here’s the language.

35:10 Your policy needs to be updated because this federal law changed

35:12 or this state law changed.

35:14 It’s not language that the board made up.

35:16 In fact, I don’t want to go too far out on a limb.

35:19 But I want to say the only changes that are really board-directed

35:22 languages have to do with our cell phone policy.

35:25 Everything else we just said, you know what, we want to go with

35:27 Neola because we want to make sure we’re in line.

35:29 So I want to address two specific policies because there’s been

35:33 a lot of misinformation that I’m afraid, I don’t want to say

35:36 that any of you wasted your time.

35:37 But I hate to think that you wasted your emotional energy

35:40 because a Facebook post, in particular, and some other things,

35:44 led to so much misinformation.

35:45 I’ve been dealing with those emails all week long and pointing

35:48 people directly to the agenda so they can check it out for

35:50 themselves.

35:50 Here is the language that is added when it comes to textbooks.

35:54 This new policy, based on the law, which was actually, some of

35:58 it was already in place, it’s not new, does not allow a parent

36:02 to file an objection and then those textbooks be removed.

36:06 It does not.

36:07 And I’ll read it straight from the green because I’m going to

36:09 assume some of you haven’t read it for yourself.

36:11 So here it goes, and this is in Policy 2521, Letter B, Number 3,

36:16 and inside that, Number 3, there’s lots of numbers, but it’s

36:20 green, highlighted, you can find it.

36:23 It has to do with the superintendent certifying to the

36:25 Commissioner of Education at Number 3, that all instructional

36:28 materials for core courses are aligned to state academic

36:31 standards.

36:32 Number 4, that core reading, core reading, and reading

36:35 intervention materials used in grades kindergarten through grade

36:39 five meet the requirements of federal, Florida statute, blah,

36:42 blah, blah.

36:43 Number 5, that any material objected to by a parent or resident

36:47 during the previous year under Florida statute 1006.28 has been

36:53 identified along with the reasons for the objection and the

36:57 grading courses for which the material was removed or discontinued.

37:00 It has, that, that, what that says is the superintendent has to

37:04 send to the state a list of books that went through our process.

37:09 It does not say, the state statute already allows in our

37:13 textbook adoption process, and we haven’t done it for a while,

37:18 well, since last year, textbook adoption.

37:21 There’s already multiple steps along the way where people can

37:24 object, but that does not, there’s not any provision that I’m

37:27 aware of, Mr. Gibbs, you can confirm,

37:29 that a parent objecting to an instructional material means those

37:32 textbooks get pulled off, because there are so many steps along

37:36 the way before we can ever adopt a textbook.

37:38 There’s, we, we parent, they, engagement in the, in the fall, we

37:41 do that, and then it comes around, and then even after we vote

37:44 to buy them, we have to wait 30 or 45 days.

37:47 I’m using Ms. Harris on her head before we can actually go out

37:50 and purchase them, because that leaves one more chance for

37:53 people to object.

37:54 They don’t get pulled off the shelves.

37:56 I just want to be clear with that.

37:58 Nothing in our policy changes today allow that.

38:00 This particular language means that the superintendent has to

38:03 send to the state any book that goes through our, our library

38:07 process that we’ve been doing with our committees and our votes

38:09 has to send that to the state and why we pulled them off the

38:12 shelves.

38:13 Those are not, okay, I’m wanting to clear that up.

38:16 And then the other thing had to do with immunizations, and I’ve

38:19 been doing with this emails all week long.

38:21 Immunizations, the language that is specifically added says this,

38:26 and sorry to take the time, but I just think it’s necessary, and

38:29 this will mean I won’t want to talk about it later.

38:32 Under policy 5320, just for you, if you want to take notes, 5320,

38:37 letter B, number one, all this part that’s in green, and I’ll, I’m

38:42 going to read it, because I know you guys probably aren’t

38:44 looking at it right now, but I’m just going to take the time to

38:46 read this whole thing.

38:46 I’ll highlight, I’ll tell you when it’s a change. Prior to admittance

38:50 to, or attendance at a public school in the district, grades

38:52 kindergarten through 12, or any other initial entrance into a

38:56 Florida public school, each child shall present or have on file

38:59 with the, this is the change.

39:01 We struck school, and we put immunization registry, so we’ve

39:04 changed who’s going to keep the files of the immunizations.

39:08 A certification of immunization for the presentation of those

39:11 communicable diseases for which immunization is required by the

39:15 Department of Health, and we struck out and shall be screened

39:18 for scoliosis at the proper age, because I don’t think we keep

39:21 those records of whether you do that or not.

39:23 And then the added part, this is new, any child who is excluded

39:27 from participation in the immunization registry pursuant to

39:31 Florida Statute 381.003 must present or have on file with the

39:37 school such certification of immunization.

39:40 Certification of immunization, that’s new, and then we go back

39:43 to the regular language, shall be made on forms approved and

39:46 provided by the Department of Health, and then added this

39:49 language, or be on file with the immunization registry. Period.

39:55 That is all that changed.

39:55 I don’t think you heard anything in there that expands

39:58 opportunities, but we cannot, as a school board, it’s not under

40:01 our purview to make any changes to immunization requirements.

40:05 That is strictly governed by the state, by the Department of

40:08 Health.

40:09 All we’re doing is making our language match up to the state

40:11 language, which means the school is not going to hold that, but

40:14 the immunization registry is going to hold that. So if you have

40:18 been sold a bag of goods that we were making those changes, I’m

40:23 sorry.

40:25 That did not come from this information, and I please take the

40:29 time to scour, and if you’ve got further questions, we’re going

40:32 to vote on these policies today, but any of the further

40:34 questions, please send them to email, because I can get, I am

40:37 happy to get to the bottom of the issue with you.

40:39 I probably didn’t address everything that came up, but

40:41 especially because those came up, immunizations and textbooks,

40:44 that’s not language this board made up. It comes straight out of

40:48 statute, and it’s very disappointing that people in our

40:51 community stirred up so many people.

40:53 I had someone who was a cancer survivor who was very concerned

40:57 that we were going to, that we were loosening up the immunization.

41:00 That’s not happening. We don’t have that control.

41:06 And I think I covered everything that’s going to hit. The rest

41:08 of it I’ll talk about when we get to policies. Thank you.

41:10 Thank you, Ms. Campbell. Does anybody else have anything else

41:12 they would like to address? Ms. Jenkins? No? Mr. Trent?

41:16 I’ll go and then you can go. I’m just, it’s gotten to the point

41:19 where misinformation has been created inside of our society to

41:23 perpetuate a story that’s not true. And it’s been proven over

41:28 the last, I don’t know, months and months that we’ve been

41:32 dealing with this.

41:33 And it’s just got to come to an end because what’s happening is,

41:35 is people are stirring the pot. And then they’re coming here and

41:38 saying things and look, we’re school board members. That’s what

41:41 we do. We take that responsibility. But when, when it inhibits

41:45 the actions of individuals from the community, it’s disgusting.

41:48 And when you come forward and say things that aren’t true, and

41:50 then you have people that are inside the community that are

41:52 acting in a way because they feel that it’s true, you’re perpetuating

41:55 that. And that’s disgusting. And it’s just, it’s gotten to the

41:58 point where it’s gotten to the point where it needs to end.

42:00 If you continue. And, and unfortunately, this has been proven

42:04 from the time that we had a bunch of people over here over an

42:06 issue that wasn’t true. We have news organizations that show up

42:10 when people don’t say things. I mean, it’s just gotten to be

42:13 crazy. So you guys can continue to do it. You guys can, that’s

42:16 your right as citizens, but understand the impact that you do

42:19 when you lie to the public on social media to drive a narrative

42:23 that’s not true. Go ahead, Jean.

42:25 Okay. All right. Audience, again, I will remind you, that is not

42:30 the proper time. We sat here and listened to the audience

42:33 address this board over things that were 100% misinformation

42:36 that is false in the blatant lie. And the facts are out there on

42:39 the internet. You can read these right here. They’re right here.

42:42 So I’m unfortunately, I don’t know that everyone went through

42:45 the trouble to read the policy. So thank you, Ms. Campbell, for

42:48 reading them.

42:49 Yep. For audience. All right, we’re going to move on. So we are

42:54 now on to the consent agenda. Dr. Rendell.

42:56 Thank you, Madam Chair. There is one agenda item under this

43:00 category.

43:01 Thank you, Dr. Rendell. Does any board member wish to pull this

43:04 one item? Hearing none. All right. Is there a motion?

43:08 Move to approve. Any discussion? Just one point of discussion. I

43:15 actually didn’t hear over in the emails any – I only had one

43:19 person reach out to me concerning the year-round calendar. And I

43:23 just wanted to – we had the discussion about the families who

43:25 wanted to choice out of Challenger 7, because this just wouldn’t

43:25 work their schedule, that they were going to be able to do an ELO

43:25 to a surrounding school.

43:25 Mm-hmm. And so there was a parent who was concerned because

43:41 sometimes that doesn’t always work. Can we do something to make

43:45 – ensure that those Challenger 7 families get their placement

43:47 in a regular – not the choice schools, because that window’s

43:52 already closed – but to make sure – because sometimes

43:54 in the past it’s been, oh, we don’t have enough room in fifth

43:57 grade, and you have fifth graders, so you can’t ELO. Can we just

43:59 make sure that that happens for this – this year?

44:01 Yeah. We’re committed to make sure they find a seat either in

44:03 Atlantis or Enterprise. I mean –

44:05 Good. I just want to make sure we say that publicly, so for

44:07 those parents who are concerned. Thank you.

44:09 Thank you. All right. Any other further discussion? No.

44:14 Yeah. I – there was someone who had asked about going into –

44:20 like into a choice school.

44:23 Right. And I had talked to Ms. Harris about that. And, you know,

44:28 we want to honor the wishes of those families, but the problem

44:33 is, is that there’s – there’s no seats to begin with in those

44:35 schools.

44:35 Yes. So we’re going to do our best to work with families that

44:38 are looking for that option. But even if they were to have made

44:41 that choice themselves the year prior, it’s – it’s difficult.

44:47 So they’re probably going to end up on that wait list.

44:49 Right.

44:50 But I just want people to know who have sent that email that

44:52 your concerns have been heard, and – and we’re doing something

44:55 about it. But unfortunately, it’s already a pretty tight

45:00 situation.

45:01 Yeah.

45:01 And I don’t know, Ms. Harris, you – do you have something you

45:03 want to add? You look like you do.

45:05 Female Speaker: Bring the wait list to sign up, start.

45:18 Female Speaker: Good morning. I just want to confirm two of

45:20 those statements.

45:21 One, with the families that are selecting, if they missed the

45:24 opportunity for choice because this was a later announcement, we

45:27 will have opportunities, but they will go to – on the waiting

45:31 list. If seats were to open right now, those seats are already

45:34 –

45:34 Female Speaker: All those seats are already full. So there’s

45:36 just not the wiggle room and the choice schools. Pending board

45:39 approval of the calendar, we have a placement process we’ll be

45:43 using for challenger families that wish to be on a traditional

45:47 calendar. So that will go out today to all stakeholders so that

45:51 all current challenger families have the opportunity with

45:55 transportation options for both enterprise and Atlantis. If some

45:59 stakeholders have shared that they would like another school,

46:03 Female Speaker: We can’t provide transportation, but we will be

46:06 working so they’ll be placed. It won’t be an application. We

46:08 have a platform set up to go out today.

46:12 And then we will open for families that want to come opt into

46:16 the year-round calendar. That will go through our normal process

46:20 that we always do based on seats available.

46:22 Female Speaker: Thank you, Ms. Harris. I just want to say the

46:25 only negative comments that I’ve got in regards to this year-round

46:27 calendar honestly have to be – they circle around the fact that

46:27 their children, other children are not on this modified calendar,

46:27 or they work at a school, and they’re not on this modified

46:27 calendar. So again, you know, I’ve been very vocal about this.

46:27 It’s something I think that we should look at exploring maybe

46:27 beyond just one school. This calendar is very, very, very

46:27 attractive to a lot of people. And it’s available also. It’s

46:27 online. It’s attached to the agenda. So if anyone wants to show

46:27 up,

46:27 Female Speaker: to look at it to see what it looks like and

46:31 provide input on what it looks like and provide input on what

46:34 they feel, I would be curious to see what it looks like and

46:35 provide input on what they feel, I would be curious to see what

46:36 they feel like.

46:37 Female Speaker: The negative comments that I’ve got in regards

46:39 to this year-round calendar honestly have to be – they circle

46:42 around the fact that their children, other children are not on

46:45 this modified calendar or they work at a school and they’re not

46:48 on this modified calendar. So again, you know, I’ve been very

46:52 vocal about this. It’s something I think that we should look at

46:52 exploring maybe beyond just one school. This calendar is very,

46:53 very, very attractive to a lot of people. And it’s available

46:53 also. It’s online. It’s attached to the agenda. So if anyone

46:53 wants to look at it to see what it looks like and provide input

46:55 on what they feel, I would be curious.

46:56 Female Speaker: I would be curious to see it. So, all right, now

46:59 that we have a first and a second, Paul, I guess we’re on to

47:01 roll call.

47:02 Male Speaker: Ms. Jenkins?

47:03 Female Speaker: Aye.

47:04 Male Speaker: Ms. Campbell?

47:05 Female Speaker: Aye.

47:06 Male Speaker: Ms. Wright?

47:07 Female Speaker: Aye.

47:08 Male Speaker: Mr. Trent?

47:09 Male Speaker: Aye.

47:10 Male Speaker: Mr. Susan?

47:11 Here. Yes.

47:12 Female Speaker: Okay. All right. All right. We are not going to

47:14 hold a public hearing to address the following policies, so many

47:16 policies. So let’s see. Give me one second to get this all set

47:22 up so I have it correctly. All right.

47:25 I’m going to go through each one of these individual policies.

47:29 We kind of kicked around the idea of maybe like kind of grouping

47:31 them together and asking people to stand up and talk if they

47:33 wanted to towards a specific policy.

47:35 But I think it’s better just to go through line item to make

47:37 sure we cover all bases. So I’m going to start at the first one.

47:40 We are on to board policy 2111. Is there anyone present who

47:44 wishes to address this item?

47:45 Male Speaker: Yes.

47:46 Female Speaker: All right. I will remind you that the

47:48 conversations and the topics that you speak about need to be

47:51 specifically pertaining to this policy only. I will warn you if

47:54 it goes off topic and then you will lose the right to continue

47:57 to participate in speaking. So just please make sure the

48:00 comments are geared towards the policy.

48:00 Male Speaker: Understood.

48:01 Female Speaker: All right. You are up first. Go ahead. You have

48:03 the floor, Mr. Ross.

48:04 Male Speaker: So, Ms. Campbell, I hear you speaking about 5320.

48:06 That’s not been the issue.

48:06 Female Speaker: Mr. Ross, we’re not on that policy. We’re on

48:12 policy number 2111.

48:13 Male Speaker: I understand. I’m talking about 2111, right? The

48:15 issues are with this policy right here, this parental rights

48:18 policy. So let’s read from the policy about the immunizations,

48:23 right?

48:23 Female Speaker: This isn’t about immunizations.

48:25 Female Speaker: This isn’t about immunizations, Mr. Ross. This

48:27 is not the policy. Are you looking at –

48:30 Male Speaker: That’s right here. E3.

48:33 Female Speaker: Sorry, you’re on.

48:34 Male Speaker: Okay.

48:35 Male Speaker: B3 of this policy?

48:37 Male Speaker: E3.

48:38 Female Speaker: E3.

48:39 Female Speaker: We’re going through each policy one at a time.

48:42 So you’re only taking public comment on each policy as it comes

48:45 up.

48:45 Female Speaker: Yes. This is in E3. Immunizations. The word’s

48:48 right there. E3. To exempt their child from immunizations.

48:51 Female Speaker: You’re not on the right policy.

48:53 Female Speaker: Oh, wait, wait, wait.

48:54 Female Speaker: Sorry, I’m looking at it. 2111.

48:57 Female Speaker: Scroll down.

48:58 Female Speaker: Do I have the wrong policy attached then?

49:02 Female Speaker: No, no. Keep going.

49:03 Female Speaker: Keep going.

49:04 Female Speaker: You’re talking about the parental notification

49:07 procedures. Keep going.

49:09 Female Speaker: One more page.

49:10 Female Speaker: Okay.

49:12 Female Speaker: I apologize. Continue on.

49:14 Male Speaker: So, E. Procedures for parents to learn about

49:20 parental rights and responsibilities

49:22 under general law, including three to exempt their child from

49:26 immunizations, right? It’s not the

49:31 problem. Immunization exemptions have always existed, right? It’s

49:35 well known that they’ve

49:37 existed, right? What this board is doing now is advertising it.

49:41 They’re advertising religious

49:43 exemptions, which are well known to be used dishonestly and not

49:49 checked properly. That’s

49:51 what this is. I don’t care that’s coming from the state. The

49:54 buck stops with you guys, right?

49:57 This is the issue this public here has with the immunizations,

50:00 not 5320. Nobody here is

50:02 against probably religious exemptions or medical exemptions.

50:05 Nobody’s going to stand up here

50:06 and say they are. What they are against is religious exemptions

50:10 being used as a talking point to

50:12 speak to conservative evangelicals out there to get their vote.

50:15 That’s what the issue is.

50:17 Female Speaker: It is. It’s un-American.

50:19 Male Speaker: It is. It’s un-American. Thank you. That’s what

50:22 the issue is. Now, since we’re

50:23 still in this policy, let’s also talk about … Oh, the textbook,

50:32 right? A or B. Number B.

50:35 A procedure for parents to object to instructional materials and

50:40 other materials used in the

50:42 classroom. Objections may be based on beliefs regarding morality,

50:47 sex, and religion, or on

50:49 the belief that such materials are harmful. Again, it’s not the

50:52 process that people have a

50:54 problem with. It’s what you’re allowing people to object to.

50:58 Okay? That’s what the issue is.

51:01 That’s what everybody here is upset about. That Facebook post

51:05 you talked about, right? It had

51:08 this exact wording in there. Did anybody read that Facebook post,

51:11 right? Was this wording

51:13 in there? Right? The exact policies were in there. So, to sit

51:16 out here and claim that these

51:18 people don’t know what they’re talking about or they haven’t

51:20 read the policies, it’s not

51:21 good. Okay? They’re right here. You didn’t even know they had

51:24 immunizations in the parental

51:25 rights, right? The chair of the board.

51:28 All right. Do I hear a motion?

51:33 Move to approve. Second. No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

51:37 Okay. If you plan on speaking to this policy, you need to go

51:39 ahead and line up behind the

51:40 podium just so that we can keep it flowing, please. All right.

51:44 And can you give us your name, too,

51:46 just so I can make notes of it? My name is Andrea Claussen.

51:51 Thank you. And I’d like to speak to the

51:52 immunization portion that the gentleman previously just spoke to.

51:57 I recently resigned from the BPS

51:59 school. I worked in the second largest high school in this

52:04 county for eight years as the registrar, as the records

52:09 keeper. I am fully aware of how many immunizations were required

52:16 because I had to collect those. And I know how

52:19 many exemptions there were in a school of over 2000 students.

52:24 Miss Campbell, your school less than 0.0005 of

52:30 those had religious exemptions prior to COVID. And then COVID

52:37 came and they, the vaccination came

52:41 out for COVID and certain organizations went nuts. And all of a

52:47 sudden on handwritten notes on registration

52:51 packets, you do not have permission to give my child the COVID

52:54 vaccination. Excuse me. That was a

53:00 person on the paperwork. Nobody ever said that the schools were

53:03 going to go out and give a COVID

53:05 vaccination, but yet certain organizations were putting it out

53:09 there. Can you, yeah, can you stay

53:12 relevant to the policy? I’m sorry. I need to put you back on

53:14 track. No, this is about immunizations and the

53:18 religious exemption. It is being abused. Okay. Okay. As I stated,

53:24 I worked for the second largest school in this

53:27 district is eight years collecting those immunization records. I

53:31 know how many parents used it. It was minimal prior to

53:36 then. Now it is being abused. And you guys are giving the okay

53:41 for that. That is not right as a board to encourage

53:45 people not to get immunizations based on your religious beliefs.

53:50 This policy doesn’t

53:51 encourage that. So no, no, no, no. The policy doesn’t. You are.

53:55 No. Yes, you are. Okay. All right. We’re

53:57 Thank you. Ms. Claussen. All right. Hi, my name is Ann Morose. I

54:09 am an RN. I’ve been an RN for over 40 years and I have a

54:13 background as a school nurse. I also experienced the childhood

54:18 diseases. As a child, I had every one of them and almost died

54:18 from the measles. So you are all over the

54:18 Pandora’s box and I agree with the whole exemption. I was a

54:28 school nurse in the state of Texas as well as the state of

54:35 Florida. And very rarely did we really see that many objections

54:37 or many parents bring in about not getting immunizations for

54:37 religious exemptions.

54:37 Very rarely did we really see that many objections or many

54:41 parents bring in about not getting

54:45 immunizations for religious exemptions.

54:49 But right now, what we need is the schools to actually put out

54:56 public service messages

55:00 about the importance of immunizations and saving lives.

55:06 And as the lady had said earlier on, you don’t know what it is

55:11 like until you do have a measles

55:13 or a polio epidemic.

55:16 And we lived through it.

55:17 And I, my body is still have problems from that measles vaccine.

55:24 And I was six months old.

55:26 And of course, the MMR children do not get that until they’re

55:30 older.

55:30 So every childhood disease that I had, my older brother brought

55:36 back to me from school.

55:38 And unfortunately, too many infants and too many young children

55:44 are going to be at risk.

55:46 And I would like to say something before all this information

55:49 gets out.

55:50 And as you’re saying fake news or whatever, we are not blaming

55:54 you.

55:54 But we need the support of the school board and those concerned

55:59 parents.

56:00 We need the support of the children.

56:01 And you do not want to have on your soul the death of a child

56:07 that could have prevented

56:07 by just getting an MMR.

56:09 Thank you.

56:12 All right.

56:13 Ms. Campbell, did you make the motion?

56:16 I know we –

56:17 We didn’t motion it.

56:18 We just said the hearing.

56:19 We just – right.

56:20 Okay.

56:21 So do I have a motion?

56:22 Move to approve.

56:23 Any discussion?

56:24 Yeah.

56:25 I – just to address – and this does – we were – sorry for

56:30 our shock.

56:31 Because this – this – the goal of this policy is not about

56:34 immunization, but it is included.

56:35 So I see where you’re going.

56:36 I’m going to just reiterate this policy does not expand immunization

56:41 exemptions.

56:42 We cannot do that.

56:44 What it does is explains what the superintendent of the district

56:49 will have to send out based

56:51 on state requirements.

56:53 These are the things you have to communicate to parents.

56:54 I think for – usually it comes through our parent handbook.

56:59 I’m not sure I’m giving it the right title, Mr. Brun, but there’s

57:02 a parent handbook that

57:03 goes out the beginning of the year, and this is the information,

57:06 all of these things, including

57:09 how to object to materials.

57:11 It’s not expanding that.

57:13 And yes, it does say that parents can object to instructional

57:17 materials regarding morality,

57:18 sex, and religion.

57:19 They’ve always been able to do that.

57:21 That’s part of our textbook adoption process.

57:25 And as far as immunizations go, it does require that we have in

57:30 that, here’s how to do it.

57:32 So again, we’re not expanding immunization exemptions.

57:36 We cannot do that.

57:37 And if someone is going to read through that parent handbook and

57:39 go, oh my gosh, I can do

57:41 this because of something we said, I just don’t think that tiny,

57:44 tiny percentage is going

57:45 to go up.

57:46 And no, the discussion’s over as far as the public goes, so

57:50 sorry, but this – we’re going

57:52 on to the policy.

57:53 So what it actually says opens up, and if someone has a problem

57:55 with what the state law

57:57 says, you’re taking – you need to take it up with state law.

57:59 But we are – these requirements, this language, excuse me, from

58:02 NEOLA tells the school districts,

58:05 whether you like it or not, a lot of this thing – what we shall

58:08 do, and we shall do this.

58:10 Thank you.

58:11 Any other discussion?

58:13 Hearing none?

58:14 No, I have something to say.

58:15 Oh, okay.

58:16 I’m just – I don’t want to repeat things that were said, but I

58:22 just want to reiterate

58:24 that it is verbatim out-of-state statute, not that it means that

58:29 it has to be okay and

58:31 that you have to agree with it, but I’m going to double down on

58:34 Ms. Campbell’s comments.

58:38 I hear your concerns, and I agree with them.

58:41 So if it’s something that you’re passionate about, I encourage

58:46 you to continue to raise awareness

58:48 about it and raise awareness about where it’s coming from,

58:53 because these are hyper-specific

58:56 words in statutes that the average citizen is not going to hear

58:59 or see or find.

59:00 And so if it’s something that you’re passionate about, I

59:03 encourage you to keep talking about

59:05 it, right?

59:06 Because as you had pointed out, our own board didn’t even know

59:09 it was in there, so – but

59:11 it’s not – it’s not verbiage from –

59:13 I was looking at the incorrect letter.

59:14 Thank you.

59:15 Ms. Wright, I’m speaking.

59:16 Thank you.

59:19 And it’s okay.

59:20 I’m not – I’m not shaming you that you didn’t know it was in

59:22 there.

59:22 We have 150 policies in here – on here today, but it is – it

59:26 is reality.

59:27 It is very, very fine language inside of state statute that the

59:31 average citizen is not going

59:32 to be aware of.

59:33 And I agree with you what you’re saying.

59:36 But I can’t agree – I can’t agree that it doesn’t belong in a

59:41 policy because it is state

59:42 statute.

59:43 So I can’t – I can’t agree with that part.

59:45 I can’t agree with what you’re saying and the point behind it.

59:48 And so I encourage you, keep talking about it.

59:50 I’m not going to discourage you from doing that.

59:52 But also try to guide people to address it where it really

59:56 matters, too.

59:57 Hold the people accountable who are writing these laws.

59:59 Thanks.

1:02:27 All right.

1:02:28 Sorry.

1:02:29 We’re on policy 2270.

1:02:30 All right.

1:02:31 You got the clock set.

1:02:32 Yep.

1:02:33 All right.

1:02:35 We’re on policy 2270.

1:02:37 All right.

1:02:38 You got the clock set.

1:02:40 Yep.

1:02:41 All right.

1:02:43 We’re on policy 2270.

1:02:44 All right.

1:02:46 You got the clock set.

1:02:48 All right.

1:02:49 Just so the public watching at home knows what this is.

1:02:54 This is titled Religion in the Curriculum.

1:02:57 What has been struck out is this paragraph.

1:03:00 Based on the First Amendment protection from the establishment

1:03:03 of religion in the schools,

1:03:05 no devotional exercises or displays of a religious character

1:03:08 will be permitted in the district in the conduct of any program

1:03:11 or activity under the jurisdiction of the board.

1:03:14 That has been crossed out.

1:03:15 Crossed out.

1:03:17 Removed.

1:03:18 Let’s see what was added.

1:03:20 No classroom teacher shall be prohibited from providing

1:03:23 reasonable periods of time for programs

1:03:25 of mediation upon a moral, philosophical, or patriotic theme.

1:03:30 I’m not sure I actually disagree with that part.

1:03:33 Right.

1:03:34 But I will say this.

1:03:35 It’s a very wide open, broad policy.

1:03:39 Again, maybe this is coming from the state.

1:03:42 But again, it’s speaking for votes.

1:03:43 That’s what it’s about.

1:03:44 This isn’t in the best interest of students.

1:03:46 Right.

1:03:47 Who decides what’s patriotic?

1:03:49 Who decides what’s philosophical?

1:03:51 Right.

1:03:52 Who decides what’s moral?

1:03:53 Right.

1:03:54 Why remove a First Amendment protection from policy?

1:04:00 Right.

1:04:01 You can claim the old center or whatever and they’re doing this.

1:04:08 They’re just following the laws.

1:04:10 The policy stops with you guys.

1:04:14 You guys write the policy.

1:04:16 Nobody else in here votes on the policy.

1:04:18 Mr. Gibbs doesn’t vote on it.

1:04:21 Dr. Rendell doesn’t vote on it.

1:04:23 We don’t vote on it.

1:04:24 We will.

1:04:25 We’ll vote on it in a few months.

1:04:26 That’s for sure.

1:04:27 But this, this is the kind of stuff that people are being aware

1:04:33 of.

1:04:34 Right.

1:04:35 This is, this is advertisement.

1:04:36 That’s what this is.

1:04:37 You’re advertising this stuff.

1:04:39 That’s the issue we have with this stuff.

1:04:44 Right.

1:04:45 If the school systems have worked well all these years with the

1:04:49 way the religion is in the

1:04:50 classroom, why the change?

1:04:51 They actually haven’t.

1:04:52 Was there some massive change in our society that requires more

1:04:57 religion in the classrooms?

1:05:00 Who’s religion?

1:05:01 Right?

1:05:02 There we go.

1:05:03 Thank you.

1:05:05 Get ready, Megan.

1:05:06 Okay.

1:05:07 So I’m hoping this is the section that’s going to be a little

1:05:08 bit.

1:05:08 Okay.

1:05:09 Thank you.

1:05:10 Okay.

1:05:12 So I’m hoping this is the section that I can bring up.

1:05:16 How do I get religious exemption from the teaching of abstinence

1:05:23 to my daughter?

1:05:25 I mean, that’s completely religious based.

1:05:28 We know it doesn’t work.

1:05:29 It has nothing to do with reality.

1:05:31 If you’re watching this and you’re young, please do not wait

1:05:35 till marriage.

1:05:36 Yes.

1:05:37 Address the board.

1:05:38 Yeah.

1:05:39 You need to address the board and the policy, please.

1:05:40 Thank you.

1:05:41 Please don’t teach that nonsense, that ignorance.

1:05:45 And is there some sort of exemption form for that?

1:05:48 And can we advertise that so that we can get actual sex

1:05:52 education?

1:05:53 Not if you can hear me.

1:05:55 The policy that you’re speaking to is religion in the curriculum.

1:05:59 Yeah.

1:06:00 So how do we get that out?

1:06:02 Is there an exemption?

1:06:05 Can we work on that?

1:06:10 Are you speaking to religion in curriculum right now, Ms. Roth?

1:06:13 Yes.

1:06:14 That’s what I’m talking about.

1:06:15 Okay.

1:06:16 The, as a standard, we don’t talk about sex before marriage.

1:06:26 Where is that opt out form?

1:06:28 How do we rip those pages out of the textbooks?

1:06:31 Where’s the textbook page ripping party for that?

1:06:34 Go ahead and answer me.

1:06:39 I’ll listen.

1:06:40 Are you going to set it up?

1:06:41 Or you have to teach ignorance?

1:06:44 Yes.

1:06:45 No.

1:06:46 Yes.

1:06:47 No.

1:06:48 I can probably turn this into every point if I need to.

1:07:05 If she’s not speaking.

1:07:06 Yeah.

1:07:07 If this is irrelevant, honestly, then we can just, if you have

1:07:13 nothing else to add to the

1:07:18 conversation in regards to this policy.

1:07:20 So this is not a back and forth discussion.

1:07:22 Well, it is kind of.

1:07:23 It’s for you to provide input into what you would like to see in

1:07:25 the policy.

1:07:26 So do you have anything else to add?

1:07:27 You don’t know more about sex than me.

1:07:28 All right.

1:07:30 Okay.

1:07:31 So stop pretending you guys.

1:07:32 We’re talking about, we’re not talking about that.

1:07:33 We’re talking about religion in the curriculum right now.

1:07:34 So if you have nothing further to add, thank you, Ms. Robb, for

1:07:35 your comment.

1:07:35 Thank you.

1:07:36 Okay.

1:07:37 Next speaker.

1:07:38 Do we have somebody else behind you that would like to speak in

1:07:39 regards to this?

1:07:39 First, I want to say I’m not an expert on religion.

1:07:56 I’m not totally well-versed in non-Christian religions, but when

1:08:02 it comes to the separation

1:08:04 of church and state, as a former teacher, I feel very strongly

1:08:10 about that.

1:08:11 I want to remind the board that last night began Ramadan.

1:08:16 1% of our students are going to be Muslim students.

1:08:21 If a teacher were to lead her class, his class, in religious

1:08:28 prayer, in a Christian prayer,

1:08:31 that would break the fast for that student.

1:08:35 That’s a big deal for them, to have their fast broken by being

1:08:42 forced even to be in a place

1:08:47 where Christian prayer is being done, even if they don’t

1:08:50 participate.

1:08:51 That’s a problem.

1:08:53 It is a problem for the many other non-Christian religions, and

1:08:57 I’m assuming that the crossover

1:08:59 would be Christians forcing their prayer onto every student in

1:09:04 the classroom.

1:09:06 Not every student is Christian.

1:09:08 A small amount.

1:09:10 3% are Jewish, 1% are Muslim.

1:09:13 There’s probably religions I don’t even know about, but it’s a

1:09:17 problem.

1:09:18 I did not teach religious texts.

1:09:21 I did not teach prayer.

1:09:23 I found the separation of church and state to be sacred.

1:09:28 We cannot step all over that because freedom of speech doesn’t

1:09:35 cover religion.

1:09:38 My right to preach ends, well, with your ears right now, but

1:09:44 where other people’s rights begin.

1:09:46 We know that.

1:09:48 We cannot force our views on others.

1:09:52 Believe me, I’m trying desperately, and it’s not working.

1:09:56 So stop making teachers, allowing teachers to do that in their

1:10:01 classroom.

1:10:02 Thank you.

1:10:05 Next speaker.

1:10:09 You guys are about to vote on this, and you may not think that

1:10:12 there’s too many people watching,

1:10:14 but there’s so many people watching on YouTube that can’t be

1:10:17 here.

1:10:18 And I know that you guys are probably going to go down the line

1:10:21 and say, yes, yes, yes,

1:10:22 I, I, I, whatever, but I really want you to take a minute and

1:10:25 think about what you’re about to take out of there.

1:10:27 What the gentleman in the gray T-shirt said.

1:10:30 He said some very important things that I agree with.

1:10:33 And a lot of the people in here agree with, otherwise they

1:10:35 wouldn’t be here.

1:10:36 And the people on YouTube that are watching you and wherever

1:10:39 else they can watch this.

1:10:40 It’s very important that you think about what you’re about to

1:10:43 vote on.

1:10:44 Thank you.

1:10:45 All right.

1:10:49 Did, all right.

1:10:51 Do we have a motion on this one?

1:10:52 Move to approve.

1:10:53 Second.

1:10:54 Any discussion?

1:10:55 Yes.

1:10:56 Okay.

1:10:57 I want to, again, because this is why it’s so important for

1:11:03 people to look at the policies themselves.

1:11:05 And it was, this part was even red.

1:11:08 Part that continues to be in the policy that wasn’t changed.

1:11:11 Instructional activities shall not be permitted to advance or

1:11:14 inhibit any particular religion or religion generally.

1:11:17 The part that was added, if you keep going, it says, no student

1:11:23 shall be required to participate in such programs or meditations

1:11:27 if they are contrary to the religious convictions of the student

1:11:29 or his or her parents.

1:11:30 Nothing in this policy says that a teacher can lead their class

1:11:34 in prayer.

1:11:35 Okay?

1:11:36 The meditation upon a moral, philosophical, or patriotic theme.

1:11:41 That part was added in there.

1:11:43 You know, the part that was removed, I just want to clarify

1:11:46 because, you know, people talk about the First Amendment.

1:11:49 They usually don’t talk about it completely.

1:11:51 So let me just read that.

1:11:52 I’m not going to read the whole thing because it has to do with

1:11:54 people to assemble.

1:11:55 We’re not talking about assembly.

1:11:56 Well, let’s read the whole first clause.

1:11:58 Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of

1:12:01 religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

1:12:07 And I will be quite honest with you.

1:12:08 The part that’s being stricken, based on the First Amendment

1:12:11 protection from the establishment of religion in the schools,

1:12:13 no devotional exercises or displays of religious character will

1:12:16 be permitted in the district in the conduct of any program or

1:12:19 activity under the jurisdiction of the board.

1:12:22 As that read, just FYI, it’s a violation of people’s First

1:12:26 Amendment rights.

1:12:27 It means that students cannot gather.

1:12:34 It means students cannot gather.

1:12:39 You have the freedom in this limited public forum to come to the

1:12:43 mic for three minutes and share what all you want to say.

1:12:45 But it’s my turn now.

1:12:46 And I worked hard to get here.

1:12:48 So it’s my turn.

1:12:50 Under that statement, strictly as it was said, that would limit

1:12:57 students from gathering at their flagpoles on the poll day.

1:13:01 It would limit prayer to pray.

1:13:04 And that is because that is an activity under jurisdiction of

1:13:07 the board.

1:13:08 It’s on our property.

1:13:09 We don’t want to have something in our policy that would limit,

1:13:12 as the First Amendment says, that would prohibit the free

1:13:15 exercise thereof.

1:13:16 Our students and our faculty, our faculty can meet on their off

1:13:20 time, their lunch time, and have prayer groups in the classroom

1:13:22 if they want to.

1:13:23 That’s our First Amendment right.

1:13:25 So let’s take the First Amendment as a whole.

1:13:29 And I’m glad people are watching because they need to see the

1:13:31 difference.

1:13:32 We are not forcing religion on anyone, but we’re also not going

1:13:35 to prohibit people from exercising their First Amendment right

1:13:39 to pray, to have religious activities on their own time, in

1:13:44 their own legally recognized by the Supreme Court way of doing

1:13:48 it.

1:13:49 So I just want to clarify, nothing of this policy is going to

1:13:51 change.

1:13:52 Actually, the way we’re already operating as a district, we’re

1:13:55 clarifying it in the policy that has not been updated since 2003.

1:13:59 Thank you.

1:14:02 Any other discussion?

1:14:03 Hearing none.

1:14:04 No, I’ll say something.

1:14:05 Once again, I just wanted to point out the fact that we have

1:14:08 misinformation that’s being spread out there who come up and

1:14:11 speak on it, and then all of a sudden we have to correct it.

1:14:14 So thank you, Ms. Campbell, for doing a diligent job of going

1:14:17 through the process and going through the procedures and the

1:14:19 policy.

1:14:20 Thank you.

1:14:21 I appreciate you.

1:14:22 Thank you.

1:14:23 All right.

1:14:24 Any other discussion?

1:14:25 Can we please limit responses to the public who have a right to

1:14:28 come here and say whatever they want to?

1:14:32 Ms. Campbell is going back to the policy itself and the statute,

1:14:37 and I respect that, but continuously degrading the public to

1:14:40 their comments is not necessary.

1:14:42 It’s going to be here forever because we could do that every

1:14:45 single board meeting.

1:14:46 So can we please just limit this to specifically the policy

1:14:49 itself, just like we do to the public when we’re talking about

1:14:51 this?

1:14:52 I hear you, Ms. Campbell, and I don’t 100% disagree with you,

1:14:56 but just because I know people are going to question why I’m

1:15:00 voting the way I’m voting.

1:15:02 I just have personal reserve when it comes to this because of

1:15:05 what I’m seeing happening in the legislature and what’s

1:15:09 happening in public education.

1:15:11 I do believe that there’s an intention behind this, and so I

1:15:14 have my own personal beliefs for this.

1:15:17 I do agree with you that the First Amendment protects both ways.

1:15:20 I hear you on that one.

1:15:23 But I do have a problem with the addition, but I’m not going to

1:15:26 speak to that much longer

1:15:27 because the public already has, and I’m sure the board has

1:15:30 already made up their minds

1:15:31 on that.

1:15:32 But I just wanted to speak to it before I made a vote.

1:15:35 All right.

1:15:36 Any other discussion?

1:15:37 Hearing none.

1:15:38 Paul, roll call, please.

1:19:53 this, you repeating, and I’m going to mess you up, but can we,

1:19:57 just for the sake of this, can we just change the way we’re

1:19:59 doing this?

1:19:59 What? And just call, instead of him having to say all of our

1:20:03 names?

1:20:03 Well, he’s, he went into this format, so. I mean, I’m, I, I was

1:20:08 all about allowing it, but then what happens is, is it’s

1:20:11 difficult for him in some instances to make sure.

1:20:13 Right. If there’s one of us that’s going to object it, I think,

1:20:15 I mean, then we can just clarify, no?

1:20:16 Well, it’s hard.

1:20:18 Let’s just roll with the way we’ve been going.

1:20:20 I think it’s, I, I, I, I, I appreciate your sentiment, Ms.

1:20:23 Jenkins.

1:20:23 I just think that it’s difficult.

1:20:26 Okay.

1:22:01 All right.

1:22:02 On to board policy 2520.

1:22:04 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?

1:22:09 All right.

1:22:11 We have one speaker.

1:22:12 I just wanted to say that before I got up to speak last time,

1:22:15 someone meowed into a hot

1:22:17 mic, Mike, Jean-Trent.

1:22:18 Is this in regard to this policy?

1:22:21 No.

1:22:22 Okay.

1:22:22 All right.

1:22:23 And continuing on.

1:22:25 Okay.

1:22:25 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this policy?

1:22:28 No.

1:22:30 Yes.

1:22:31 Okay.

1:22:31 Take your time.

1:22:38 My name is Liz McIatarian.

1:22:43 I’m the founder of Stop Moms for Liberty and National

1:22:45 Organization.

1:22:46 And I’m going to address all of the policies at once.

1:22:51 Can’t do that.

1:22:52 You can’t.

1:22:52 We have to stay focused on the one policy that we’re on.

1:22:54 Okay.

1:22:54 So you can address multiple policies.

1:22:56 But just right now we’re on this one, which is 2520, which is

1:22:59 the selection and adoption

1:23:00 of instructional materials.

1:23:02 Okay.

1:23:02 Well, I’ll address that policy then.

1:23:04 Thank you.

1:23:04 What?

1:23:05 I just want to make a statement that it is imperative that all

1:23:11 members of the school board are in

1:23:13 place and doing their jobs during a public hearing.

1:23:17 It is absolutely not okay for a bathroom break, unless, of

1:23:21 course, it’s an emergency.

1:23:22 But I taught in this county for almost 20-something years in

1:23:27 kindergarten and never got to leave

1:23:29 my post in kindergarten.

1:23:31 This is irrelevant.

1:23:33 Thank you.

1:23:35 All right.

1:23:36 And do I have a motion?

1:23:37 Move to approve.

1:23:38 Second.

1:23:39 Any discussion?

1:43:59 Sorry, Mr. Susan. I keep on cutting you off.

1:44:02 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item? Is

1:44:04 there anyone present who wishes to address this item? Seeing

1:44:14 Ms. Jenkins. Aye. Ms. Campbell. Aye. Ms. Wright. Aye. Mr. Trent.

1:44:22 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item? Is

1:44:24 there anyone present who wishes to address this item?

1:44:26 Madam Chair, I’d like to make an amendment to 5-1-2-1, if I can.

1:44:31 You scared me. I’m like looking over here and didn’t see you

1:44:34 back there, Mr. Ramer.

1:44:35 Did you see? I was like, was that June?

1:44:36 The big voice that boomed through. All right.

1:44:38 Yeah, I got a, Mr. Cheatham hooked me up with the mic back there.

1:44:42 You just caught us all off guard, I think.

1:44:44 Yeah, so 5-1-2-1 through collaboration with our county athletic

1:44:49 director, Kevin Robinson,

1:44:50 and student services, Ms. Dampere.

1:44:52 There’s a section number 11, interscholastic and intrascholastic

1:44:59 extracurricular activities,

1:45:01 item B.

1:45:02 Okay.

1:45:03 I would like to consider removing the added portion of the

1:45:08 superintendent.

1:45:11 We’ll consider the written request and make a recommendation to

1:45:13 the board during a publicly noticed meeting.

1:45:16 This is in regards to a student-athlete who may have a good

1:45:19 cause exemption.

1:45:20 We already have a policy or procedure, I should say, in place

1:45:24 for good cause exemptions

1:45:25 and believe that this conflicts with one of our other policies,

1:45:30 2431.01.

1:45:32 Okay.

1:45:33 Paul, can we amend and have it go forward or do we have to pull

1:45:36 it back in?

1:45:36 Mr. Gibbs, yeah, if we’re omitting something and not adding

1:45:38 something, is that okay just to?

1:45:40 We’ll need a motion to amend the recommendation to what Mr. Reeves.

1:45:46 Motion to amend.

1:45:47 Amending this would actually expedite the process for a student-athlete

1:45:51 under a good cause exemption.

1:45:52 If Dr. Rendell would have to receive the recommendation and go

1:45:55 to the board,

1:45:56 we may be looking at weeks to months where the board for this

1:45:59 can actually meet in an expedited manner

1:46:02 and get a student-athlete who qualifies back involved in a more

1:46:06 expedited process.

1:46:08 Move to amend.

1:46:08 You probably need to spell it out.

1:46:11 Well, okay, move to amend section 11, subsection B, and omit.

1:46:16 The superintendent will consider the written request and make a

1:46:19 recommendation to the board

1:46:20 on a public policy notice meeting for the policy that we’re on.

1:46:26 Okay.

1:46:27 Policy 5.1.2.1.5.

1:46:28 It’s pretty straight.

1:46:28 Do I have a second?

1:46:29 All right.

1:46:29 Second.

1:46:30 There we go.

1:46:30 Any discussion?

1:46:31 We’re voting on the amendment first, right?

1:46:34 Yep.

1:46:35 All right.

1:46:37 Dr. Rendell, any hesitations?

1:46:38 Are you okay with it?

1:46:39 I just want to run that by you.

1:46:40 No, we actually discussed this before.

1:46:42 It should be great.

1:46:43 Perfect.

1:46:43 Okay.

1:46:43 Just wanted to make sure.

1:46:44 All right.

1:46:46 No other further discussion.

1:46:47 Do I have to ask if someone wants to speak to the policy

1:46:50 amendment or no?

1:46:52 They had their opportunity.

1:46:53 Okay.

1:46:53 All right.

1:46:53 I just wasn’t sure because we’ve never done one of these before

1:46:56 like that.

1:46:56 All right.

1:46:57 So, Paul, roll call, please.

1:46:59 Ms. Jenkins.

1:47:00 Aye.

1:47:00 Ms. Campbell.

1:47:01 Aye.

1:47:01 Ms. Wright.

1:47:02 Aye.

1:47:03 Mr. Trent.

1:47:03 Aye.

1:47:04 Mr. Seuss.

1:47:05 Aye.

1:47:05 All right.

1:47:06 Now we have to.

1:47:09 Thank you.

1:47:09 Thank you, Mr. Raymer, the voice that boomed through the

1:47:12 microphone.

1:47:13 All right.

1:47:14 So, we just voted on the amendment, but we need to go back to

1:47:17 policy 5-1-2-1, correct?

1:47:19 Yes.

1:47:20 So, we would.

1:47:22 So, it would be motion as amended.

1:47:23 Motion as amended.

1:47:24 Okay.

1:47:25 So.

1:47:27 Make a motion as amended to.

1:47:28 Yes.

1:47:30 To approve.

1:47:30 Policy as amended.

1:47:32 Policy.

1:47:32 Sorry.

1:47:33 All right.

1:47:33 Do we have a second?

1:47:34 Second.

1:47:34 Any discussion?

1:47:35 All right.

1:47:37 Paul, roll call, please.

1:47:38 Ms. Jenkins.

1:47:40 Aye.

1:47:40 Ms. Campbell.

1:47:41 Aye.

1:47:42 Ms. Wright.

1:47:42 Aye.

1:47:42 Mr. Trent.

1:47:43 Mr. Seuss.

1:47:44 Aye.

1:47:44 All right.

1:47:45 We are on to board policy 5-1-3-6.

1:47:48 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?

1:47:53 Seeing none.

1:47:55 Move to approve.

1:47:56 Second.

1:47:56 Any discussion?

1:47:57 I have some.

1:47:59 Okay.

1:47:59 Just a real quick clarification.

1:48:00 The addition that we have says students may not use WCWs during

1:48:03 an instructional time and

1:48:04 are prohibited from assessing social media platforms through the

1:48:08 use of the internet access except

1:48:10 when expressly directed by a teacher solely for educational

1:48:13 purposes.

1:48:14 And students shall designate an area for WCWs to be stored

1:48:17 during instructional time.

1:48:19 And just so that everybody understands, smart watches are

1:48:22 considered one of those WCWs.

1:48:24 What we’re having an issue with is the students are sitting

1:48:27 there on their watches and then the

1:48:29 teacher has to stop and say, hey, you need to stop using that.

1:48:32 And there’s some confusion over whether a teacher can just say

1:48:34 right at the beginning of the class,

1:48:36 put your smart watches and all WCWs away before you come into

1:48:39 class.

1:48:40 And this gives them the opportunity to do so.

1:48:42 And I just wanted to say that before we move on.

1:48:45 That’s all I have to say.

1:48:46 All right.

1:48:46 Wonderful.

1:48:47 Any other further discussion?

1:48:49 No.

1:48:50 All right.

1:48:51 Paul, roll call.

1:48:51 Ms. Jenkins.

1:48:53 Aye.

1:48:53 Ms. Campbell.

1:48:54 Aye.

1:48:54 Ms. Wright.

1:48:55 Aye.

1:48:55 Mr. Trent.

1:48:56 Aye.

1:48:56 Mr. Seuss.

1:48:56 Aye.

1:48:57 All right.

1:48:58 We are on to board policy 5200.

1:49:00 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?

1:49:05 Seeing none.

1:49:07 Do I have a motion?

1:49:08 Move to approve.

1:49:09 Second.

1:49:10 Any discussion?

1:55:10 Aye.

1:55:11 Mr. Trent.

1:55:11 Aye.

1:55:12 Mr. Seuss.

1:55:12 Aye.

1:55:13 Perfect.

1:55:14 We are on to policy 5610.04.

1:55:17 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?

1:55:19 Yes.

1:55:19 Okay.

1:55:23 I just think it needs to be verified, especially, throughout the

1:55:29 years.

1:55:30 It says in the second paragraph that the student may be

1:55:38 suspended from the school bus riding privileges for all or part

1:55:43 of the school year.

1:55:43 But then at the end of that same paragraph it says for a period,

1:55:48 not to the school year, so a little bit more clarification and

1:55:52 also on the policy, it needs to be codified.

1:55:56 I read the other student handbooks where it talks about how to

1:56:05 get transported.

1:56:08 The problem is my student had an agency where the driver said

1:56:13 they do something.

1:56:15 So I called the principal about it.

1:56:16 And the principal said, well, I don’t have a bus company.

1:56:21 So I called the principal, but I never received a callback on

1:56:31 what my student actually was videotaped doing.

1:56:40 And they received a referral for it.

1:56:43 So I think this policy is not extensive enough for what it’s

1:56:48 supposed to, my student was threatened with a suspension for the

1:56:56 bus.

1:56:56 And this policy is not clear enough, especially, like I said,

1:57:00 with, if it’s the school bus’s policy, the transportation

1:57:06 company’s policy,

1:57:08 it’s not clear enough for what it’s intended purposes for.

1:57:14 Paul, I don’t think you ever set the clock.

1:57:22 Yeah, I’m sorry, I forgot.

1:57:22 Is it all?

1:57:25 That’s all.

1:57:25 All right.

1:57:30 Did we have a motion on this one?

1:57:32 And then we’ll go into discussion?

1:57:33 No, we haven’t.

1:57:34 We haven’t motioned yet.

1:57:35 Can we listen to the public?

1:57:36 Right, okay.

1:57:37 Is there anyone else that wants to?

1:57:38 Does anybody else want to address this policy?

1:57:40 No.

1:57:42 Okay.

1:57:42 Do we have a motion?

1:57:43 Move to approve.

1:57:44 Second.

1:57:44 Okay.

1:57:45 Discussion.

1:57:45 That’s what I’m going to go in order for us to be able to

1:57:48 discuss it.

1:57:49 I think probably the, this particular parent’s issue needs to,

1:57:54 if we can get somebody to address it.

1:57:57 Yes.

1:57:58 And so that we can find out the exact school.

1:58:00 But do we have Dr. Rendell clarification on that second

1:58:04 paragraph we’re talking about?

1:58:07 Because I think, I think it’s in there.

1:58:08 Student may be suspended from school for all or part of a year.

1:58:12 So it gives the range.

1:58:14 And if we look in the code of conduct that we talked about last

1:58:16 week with Ms. Stampere, I think there was, there, it’s depending

1:58:19 on it.

1:58:20 But the principal can do that.

1:58:23 The principal’s authority is, cannot exceed the 10 days.

1:58:28 So without going through the process.

1:58:30 I think that’s what it says.

1:58:31 But if we can get, if we need some clarification.

1:58:34 Yeah, we’ll, we’ll cross-reference that with the code of conduct.

1:58:37 But there’s more language and more descriptions and more

1:58:41 parameters in the code of conduct.

1:58:43 Right.

1:58:43 And this is just policy.

1:58:44 Right.

1:58:45 And a comment about, we don’t use a bus company for our

1:58:49 traditional schools.

1:58:50 So that sounds like a charter school.

1:58:52 Okay.

1:58:53 Or an issue that happened.

1:58:55 Or like some.

1:58:59 As far, yeah, as far as the specific situation that happened, I’m

1:59:01 not sure if it’s charter school or if it’s one of our schools.

1:59:04 But I’m sure, Rashad, you’re in the very back back there.

1:59:07 And can you maybe see if you can gather some more information in

1:59:10 regards to the one incident that she’s referring to?

1:59:12 Is that okay?

1:59:12 Yeah.

1:59:14 Okay.

1:59:14 He’s, can you wave so she knows who you are?

1:59:15 Yeah.

1:59:16 All right.

1:59:17 So she can gather more information there.

1:59:18 But yeah, so this, I read this policy to say the same thing.

1:59:21 That the principal can only suspend for a maximum of 10 days.

1:59:25 The bus driver themselves could potentially remove a child from

1:59:29 a school bus for the remainder of the school year.

1:59:32 So it’s just given.

1:59:33 Not the bus driver.

1:59:34 No.

1:59:34 Or sorry, the district.

1:59:35 The district.

1:59:35 Sorry.

1:59:36 I apologize.

1:59:36 Not the bus driver.

1:59:37 Right.

1:59:38 But the principal themselves would only have a period of up to

1:59:41 10 days that they are able to take a student off of a bus.

1:59:44 All right.

1:59:46 But I could see why you say that’s confusing, honestly.

1:59:48 And it does reference the student code of conduct.

1:59:50 And that is really where it outlines everything.

1:59:52 All right.

1:59:54 Any other discussion on this one?

1:59:55 No.

1:59:58 All right.

1:59:58 Roll call.

2:00:40 You got the clock, Mr. Gibbs?

2:00:47 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?

2:01:04 I think I can’t go back to board.

2:01:05 I know.

2:01:05 I can’t go back to board.

2:01:05 Right.

2:01:06 I know.

2:01:08 The board has to address it in the discussion if they want to.

2:01:10 Yeah.

2:01:10 Are you taking registration out of the library?

2:01:14 I’m sorry, what?

2:01:16 Go to registration.

2:01:17 No.

2:01:21 Yeah.

2:01:22 We’re on 5724 right now.

2:01:23 No.

2:01:25 We can explain it during the discussion portion of it when we go

2:01:28 to talk about it and.

2:01:29 Well, okay.

2:01:30 More registration from that is the goal, right?

2:01:34 All right.

2:01:35 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this item?

2:01:40 Seeing none.

2:01:41 Do I have a motion?

2:01:42 Move to approve.

2:01:43 Do I have a second?

2:01:44 Second.

2:01:45 Do we have discussion?

2:01:46 All right.

2:01:47 So, just to clarify, I don’t know if you have that.

2:01:50 The policy app.

2:01:51 So, we took out one line of the policy that says additional.

2:01:56 Well, hang on.

2:01:57 I’m trying to read it.

2:01:58 Additionally, each high school in the district shall offer the

2:02:00 opportunity for enrolled.

2:02:02 I think it’s supposed to say students, but it says studs.

2:02:05 It’s all it is.

2:02:06 It’s just a clarification.

2:02:07 Who reach the age of majority.

2:02:08 Yeah.

2:02:09 I know.

2:02:10 To register and look at the paragraph above, it covers all that.

2:02:13 So, no, honestly, I think this board is very much, I would

2:02:17 believe, pro enrolling

2:02:19 more voters.

2:02:20 Actively.

2:02:21 We want more voters, not less voters.

2:02:22 Actively doing it.

2:02:23 Yep.

2:02:24 All right.

2:14:17 Paul, do you see in the title line of that policy, I think it’s

2:14:20 a typo.

2:14:20 I don’t know whether it says 75403.

2:14:21 Oh, there is an extra number.

2:14:22 When it comes, when it gets published to the website, is that

2:14:25 what it’s going to say?

2:14:27 I’ll double check it.

2:14:32 I’ll just move to fix that typo and I’ll include it.

2:14:36 Okay.

2:14:37 So, well, we already called.

2:14:39 You have to move to amend.

2:14:50 typo going into our pretty

2:14:53 new policy book.

2:14:55 just to fix that right there on the first line where it says 75403.

2:25:23 - All right, so almost, calm down.

2:25:24 - No, I mean, we have something else to vote on,

2:25:25 but we’re doing it then.

2:25:26 All right. Okay. Dr. Rendell, will you please let us know about

2:25:30 the items under the action portion of today’s agenda?

2:25:32 Thank you, Madam Chair. There is one action item, H10

2:25:35 procurement solicitations.

2:25:37 Do I hear a motion?

2:25:40 Move to approve.

2:25:40 Second.

2:25:41 Is there any discussion?

2:25:42 Nope. All right. Paul, roll call, please.

2:25:46 Ms. Jenkins?

2:25:46 Aye.

2:25:47 Ms. Campbell?

2:25:47 Aye.

2:25:48 Ms. Wright?

2:25:48 Aye.

2:25:49 Mr. Trent?

2:25:49 Aye.

2:25:50 Mr. Seuss?

2:25:50 Aye.

2:25:51 All right. We’re now at the board member reports. Does any board

2:25:54 member have anything further that they would like to report or

2:25:56 discuss?

2:25:56 Just real quick.

2:25:57 Yes, sir.

2:25:58 I know. So I ran into a couple of students over the last week.

2:26:04 One of them in particular came up and had mentioned that we have

2:26:07 students who are in middle school that are 16, 17 years old,

2:26:12 right?

2:26:13 And it was one of the children that was inside that middle

2:26:15 school. And he had mentioned how they’ve struggled in passing to

2:26:20 get to the next level, which is high school, which we all know.

2:26:25 But it becomes an issue where it’s almost like it’s difficult on

2:26:28 the mental health of the student in order to be 16, 17 years old

2:26:32 and look around at all the other individuals that are there.

2:26:36 So what they had asked is they said, I just feel like every time

2:26:39 I come to school, I feel like the outcast. I feel like this. I

2:26:42 feel like that.

2:26:43 Is there anything that we can do in the event that these

2:26:45 students are 16 or 17 to actually, I know we have an aggressive

2:26:49 high school promotional program through online summer school and

2:26:52 everything else.

2:26:53 And I’m sure we do it for middle school, but if there’s an

2:26:55 opportunity to actually move them into the middle school, pull

2:26:59 them out of the high school so that they could actually get to

2:27:02 the next level, but also be identified as still being in eighth

2:27:05 grade.

2:27:05 Does that make sense like backwards? I’m sorry. Yeah, I’m sorry.

2:27:09 So go ahead. You see the idea, right?

2:27:12 We’ve got students who who, to be honest with you, would do

2:27:16 better if they were in a high school environment that are in a

2:27:18 middle school environment.

2:27:20 Is there a way that we can work with them in a different way?

2:27:23 That’s all.

2:27:23 And I didn’t mean to say that I’m looking for motion or anything

2:27:26 like that.

2:27:27 I just I was going to talk to staff about it and see if there’s

2:27:29 a way that we can do it, but I didn’t want to go down the rabbit

2:27:32 hole if everybody else here was like, no, it’s not a good idea.

2:27:34 But Miss Campbell, you have something to say. I want to throw

2:27:35 something out there, an idea that was done at one of the schools

2:27:38 in this or five this year.

2:27:40 And but first I want to say, I don’t think 17 year olds are

2:27:42 because I think that’s actually the law.

2:27:44 Once they turn 17, they actually have to kick them out, which is

2:27:47 a sad situation for them to be in, but they don’t want to be in

2:27:50 middle school being 17.

2:27:51 I get it anyway, or even 16.

2:27:54 So one of our middle schools created a program within their

2:27:57 school with Southwest Middle School.

2:28:00 They they created a Southwest Junior High program where she had

2:28:03 all those students who fell into that category.

2:28:06 They had to repeat and they had a very intensive, focused, small

2:28:11 class size, get them across the finish line.

2:28:13 They’ve been working on that this year to try to get them so

2:28:16 that they don’t only get their middle school credits out of the

2:28:20 way.

2:28:20 But they’re also able to take some high school classes like

2:28:24 career research.

2:28:25 And if they can get another unit so that by the time they go to

2:28:29 high school, they’re not going in as freshmen, they’re going in

2:28:31 potentially as sophomores.

2:28:32 And so that will get them closer back to their cohort.

2:28:37 And so I would just suggest that maybe that would be a program.

2:28:40 And she’s not going to have to do it.

2:28:42 After this year, she’s not doing it anymore.

2:28:43 She’s just kind of got that large group kind of over the hump.

2:28:47 So I don’t think it’s necessarily something that each school

2:28:49 would have to do on a regular basis, but if they had a large

2:28:52 number.

2:28:52 Now she used some of her PAR to move them around to be able to

2:28:57 do that.

2:28:57 And Dr. Randall could share more information maybe.

2:28:59 But that’s kind of what they did with this intensive group of

2:29:03 small group of students.

2:29:04 And they utilized some of our online software, course recovery

2:29:09 software, to get them.

2:29:11 But like I said, it’s not just about getting those middle school

2:29:14 classes finished, but allowing them to take some high school

2:29:17 credits so they’re not so far behind.

2:29:19 That’s what they had mentioned is that the opportunities that

2:29:22 are at that next level – I’m sorry – the opportunities that

2:29:26 are at that next level was what they were saying.

2:29:27 And being a former instructor, like, you can tell, like, when

2:29:31 you have somebody that’s not having the best time, having them

2:29:34 have an outlet for success or seeing that success gives them

2:29:38 that pathway so that they can get there.

2:29:40 The issue that I run into is that this student may be only part

2:29:44 of a middle school that only has two or three of these kind of

2:29:47 students.

2:29:47 Right.

2:29:48 And it’s just – if there’s an opportunity to aggressively look

2:29:51 at it, I’m sure Dr. Randall would do it.

2:29:52 I just wanted to kind of bring it up as a topic.

2:29:54 Sure.

2:29:55 And if it’s okay with you guys, I’ll just go back and try to see

2:29:57 if there’s an opportunity there.

2:29:58 That’s all.

2:29:59 And thank you.

2:30:00 The goal is we don’t want them to drop – we don’t – I see –

2:30:02 the goal is we don’t want them to drop out.

2:30:02 Yeah.

2:30:03 Right.

2:30:04 Well, I just – I think if there’s a pathway to do something

2:30:06 innovative, I think that we can.

2:30:07 So that’s all.

2:30:08 I just wanted to kind of bring it up, and thank you so much.

2:30:09 Yeah.

2:30:10 I mean, I like it.

2:30:11 Honestly, we have credit retrieval special issues happening at

2:30:14 the high school level.

2:30:14 So if we’re –

2:30:15 Maybe they can take them at the high school level.

2:30:16 That same kind of model to look at and see if we can incorporate

2:30:19 it for our students that are falling behind the middle school.

2:30:20 Madam Chair, I would like to follow up real quick.

2:30:22 Yes.

2:30:23 As Mrs. Campbell points out, Southwest Middle School, Principal

2:30:26 DeWater has done a great job.

2:30:27 She had a group of students who are falling into that category.

2:30:30 So this year, she’s kind of operating a school within a school

2:30:34 concept.

2:30:34 Okay.

2:30:35 These students are in a group of classes together.

2:30:37 They do have some credit recovery.

2:30:38 They are going to be able to take high school courses so that

2:30:42 when they transition to the high school next year, they won’t be

2:30:45 brand new ninth graders.

2:30:45 They’ll be either ninth and a half graders or maybe even tenth

2:30:49 graders.

2:30:49 So they’ll be on their way to catching back up with their

2:30:52 original cohort and to take care of the kids that need to be

2:30:54 taken care of this year.

2:30:55 And hopefully her current eighth grade class will not include

2:31:00 any of those kids for next year.

2:31:02 So it’s kind of a good problem to have if it’s at a school and

2:31:05 there’s only one or two of these kids.

2:31:06 Right.

2:31:07 But then we can’t really devote a lot of resources to it like

2:31:11 you can in that situation.

2:31:12 But with our credit recovery options available, we should be

2:31:16 able to get those kids back on track in time to get out with

2:31:19 what they need on time.

2:31:20 Well, and it may be beneficial just to look at all of our middle

2:31:23 schools and see where is this calling for most, you know, all of

2:31:26 them because it may be a problem at all of them and it may not

2:31:27 be.

2:31:27 I don’t know.

2:31:28 And it may be something innovative we can do to the ones that

2:31:30 are in there.

2:31:30 Yes.

2:31:31 It sounds like Southwest has a good thing going on.

2:31:32 So we maybe want to look at what they’re doing.

2:31:34 Thank you.

2:31:35 Yes.

2:31:36 All right.

2:31:37 Any other discussions or reports?

2:31:40 Well, I’ll just comment on that is it’s not only Southwest.

2:31:46 I think it’s a de lauder thing because when I was at Jefferson,

2:31:50 she used credit recovery.

2:31:52 She was our AP there.

2:31:53 She used credit recovery second semester for math specifically

2:31:58 to catch kids up who had failed the first semester.

2:31:59 Okay.

2:32:00 Because you need both semesters.

2:32:02 Right.

2:32:03 You know, so they used that odyssey where at the time in the

2:32:07 media center, it was after school, you know, for a short period

2:32:12 of time.

2:32:12 And it passed a lot of kids.

2:32:14 I was eighth grade at the time teacher.

2:32:16 So if we can utilize that, that’d be great.

2:32:18 Yeah.

2:32:19 Sounds like something we need to look at.

2:32:22 All right.

2:32:23 Any other discussion or report?

2:32:25 All right.

2:32:26 Hearing none.

2:32:27 This meeting is adjourned.

2:32:57 Thank you.
