The district is committed to providing all students with physical education and activity opportunities that support their health, learning, and overall well-being, following state standards, and offering professional development for staff. Physical education is required in elementary and high school and becomes an elective in middle school. It's a date change. Policy IH AE is found in your folder. Just to comment on that as a as an old ex physical education teacher,
009I'm glad to see that it's in our policy. It's required, but I noticed that the related arts typically is u physical education, music, and art. Um, did do we have similar policies for music and art? Are they not required by the state or is >> No, sir. We have similar >> there similar policies for that. And you said something about I it kind of on physical education. You said it was required >> in elementary and high school. Is that correct but not middle school? Or why skip a middle school? >> But middle school it is used as an elective. >> Okay. >> Because they've already had it in elementary. But when they get to high school, they get to choose between physical education and ROC. >> Okay. Okay. And Okay. So, in other words, I
010guess I was just I seemed like I guess why I was confused was most of the times electives or at least in my mind kind of started in high school, not middle school. But that's why I was kind of surprised that we had elective like what else can they choose in middle school if it's an elective? In middle school, they can choose from STEM, they can choose band, they can choose course, >> right? >> Um, they have, of course, physical education, but they have more to choose from than our lower grade. >> Okay. >> Hey, uh, Gary. >> Yeah. >> Can I interrupt for a minute? Yeah. Since Since Ned opened all that up, just had me, can we go back to policy IA for a second back in the beginning? I A. Yeah. Back
011in the beginning, what what college and career ready are we? So I I get what the college the college ready is. What is the is the career ready still represented by a student achieving a certain number of certs certifications like one two or three and they have different tiers. What and I'm only asking because of what I'm learning at like at my district. So what is what makes the student career ready by state standards? I understand that to be points that are acquired by each student. >> That is correct. And what we want to make certain that we focus on is the profile of the South Carolina graduate. And one of the things that the state is finding mandatory is that our kids also have career readiness. And that also starts in middle grades when
012they do their IGPS. And those IGPS follow them to the high school. And all of our children either go through uh Kate or they do the credentials. um through um OSHA and they can get their CTE um credits from there as well to be career ready. >> And I asked cuz I'm curious, we have a hard time sometimes with some of our kids coming through getting the right points cuz OSHA's like one, you know, and then they there are some programs, some clusters that do not have the appropriate certifications yet. so that a kid can get the appropriate number. Is it three or is it >> It's three. >> Yeah. So, >> at one time, if you remember with Kate, it used to be that they had to have four. >> Mhm. >> But about
013uh 2 years ago, 2 3 years ago, they changed it to three. And so that allowed more students to even get dual um cap um completion with um with CTE as well as get the OSHA and there's one other um that they can take and get their career readiness. So are mo do are we are most of our students getting both? Okay, >> most definitely. And you will find that each year uh last year we had about 70 students to be completers and it goes each year. >> You one I'm going to back up with the can of worms that we open. You mentioned an IDP in in middle school. Tell me what does that acronym? What does that mean? What does it stand? What does it stand for? >> Individual graduation plan. >> Is
014it IGP then? IGP. I I said IDP I >> which makes sense. And as you pointed out and and appropriately so, thankfully so. The kids are exposed to career, you know, readiness in middle school these days. When I came along, when many of you came along, we didn't think about what you were going to do for your career throughout until you got out of high school and you went to college. And sometimes in college, you didn't know what you wanted to do or what. And again, I say you didn't know what you wanted to do. Some some young people did and some people had that straightforward path and they took that and and and took, you know, every advantage they could take to get to that end goal. But I'm glad to see that not
015only we as a school district but education in general is doing a whole lot more focus on early career readiness um exposing young people to different careers. And as you well know those things change so rapidly especially in my lifetime and the la you know last 20 years. God all I got to do is say one word technology. I mean, you know, where have we where have we gone with technology and what what doors does that open for our graduates and those who come through the system at this time and and AI? I mean, just so much so much such a different focus, I guess, on what you know, you got out before you went to if you went to a four-year school, you know, you were going to be an accountant or a lawyer
016or, you know, what an engineer or, you know, those kind of doctor, go to med school, those things, but now you got so many other things. And I think I'm rambling now, but the focus on getting back to a there was a time when everybody was felt like, you know, our young people need to go to a 4-year institution. And then there's a push now to say that's not necessarily the case. You know, you can go to a tech school or to some kind of a trade school and get a trade and make as much money as an engineer or a doctor or lawyer or more. So um you know and I think our young people again when you're young and you don't you don't get that information the quicker we can get that to
017them in a manner that would be appealing to them that they would take heart and take listen to that to try to develop you know what what do I like to do what do I want to do and then and maybe kind of steer in that direction. So >> and again also remember they take the win test. >> Yeah. >> And they can all we can also get our career readiness points from there as well. Gary, can I get on that soap box just for a minute? >> Yeah, you been on one. You knocked me off. >> You think that kids back in your generation, they didn't know what they wanted to do? >> It only got worse. It doesn't It's not real hard to go look and see what the status of our workforce
018is. When you got every industry out there saying, "We need help." If you survey most of the kids today, they're going to say, "I don't know what I want to do." >> And and again, Michael, I agree. I don't think that that certainly is the case. But I guess what I'm trying to say, I think we we as a school district and education in general is has opened a lot more doors than were open when when you and I came through. >> Oh yeah. >> That doesn't mean that kids are going to zero in on what they want to do. I understand that. But I think back to the time I was 18 years old. I didn't know what I wanted to do. Thought I did, but I didn't know. I didn't even think I
019didn't even thinking right. >> No. And and and most of us don't. I'm only saying that to say that that I I applaud the district for doing these career exploration things, the job shadows, the uh the career days. I think we need to do more of that. Be I'm, you know, as a high school teacher, I see that all the time from every program at the school where I work at where these kids are leaving. And I'd like to just for a moment say, "All right, CTE, they used to be the requirement or it is the requirement or it's the push to get completers." So if I get a parent that comes through my room, the first thing I'm going to say is, "I don't want your kid to be a completer." There is no
020reason when we offer 22 different career clusters for your kid to be pigeon holed in one program for 2 years when the majority of them can't even start at a career center until the 10th grade because of prerequisites that some of these courses have. I would much rather see a kid have the opportunity to say I've got four years. There's 22 programs or whatever we offer here. there's 10, five, whatever it is to say, "Let that kid take a shot at STEM. Let them take a shot at a if we ever bring that. Let them take a shot at auto mechanics so that they can get exposure." The kids are not getting the exposure that they should be getting in that last four years. After that, it's going to cost them. You go to the
021university and it takes you four years, six years to get a four-year degree. We got problems. And >> and I I'm with you. I think I applaud you all and and and and our our system for at least putting exposure out there. They may not they may not take heart and go in to, you know, say, "Well, this is what I want to do," but at least they're being exposed, which I think is >> I think I heard it up here um a moment ago, opportunity. So, we're providing opportunities for young people to kind of explore what it is that they want to do. Um and Miss Ma kind of mentioned it earlier. Um it's really exciting at the end of the school year when we have completer night that you have multiple multiple kids
022that are receiving completer um certificates in multiple areas. So they've been able to explore careers broadening their horizon if you will. I mean I well I we we were talking today I was driving with two other friends of mine and we were talk just talking about career thing and for instance my daughter-in-law who graduated from USC she's in her fourth job now she graduated in I think 2014 and she's she's progressively moved up and she's doing really well but she's working with her fourth company um and and that's just the way of the world now you know very very rarely do we see people to go to work and and stay in the same career path for their entire working career. >> Can can you educate uh the board like on what you mean? I
023understand the completers, but maybe you can educate me too on wanting a kid to be a completer instead of giving that kid the opport. So, let's say you got biomed science and you got alternative energy. It's like the the the district pushes these kids to say, "Well, you started in biomed science. We want you to finish in biomedical science." That instead of saying, "Let's get another." And I is it for funding purposes that we try to keep them on that same track. It I hate to say it does not benefit the district at all, but we want the kids to have a broaden sense of what they want to do or more opportunities to kind of explore what they want to do. So it doesn't benefit the district if they complete in one area or
02410 areas. We just want them to be able to explore so when they do get out from um from us if they have some kind of an idea as to what they want to kind of study in terms of a career. And if I may add to that, um, one of the biggest plus that we can get from our kids completing our kids can complete and get industrial certifications. the same way that we bridge the gap by having an advisory board from all of the companies that surround our area that's in the areas that we have in our schools as well as the technology center. Um, look at it this way. If a child finishes and completes an automotive, there are big certifications that and tests that you have to take for automotive. Our kids
025get to take those tests and when they finish, our kids are work ready. >> If they decide that they want to go into the working field, they can go to companies such as Toyota, Nissan, you name it. and they have the certifications in order to work there and make money. If they want to go on to and do another two-year, they can or if they want to go to four years, but you look at it like this, that child is work ready by the time they leave our district. And so, you have to look at it like that. I can give you an example. I have one special needs student. he can put together an engine, rebuild it, and out of his grandpa's truck, he was able to get it started and on the road
026again. And he's in his second year at the technology center working in automotive so he can get his credentials to actually be work ready for a company or start his own. There are competitions that give big money for those students who go to competition for every area and they win as much as $25,000 if they can pass the test as well as demonstrate readiness. It's no longer the same as when we were in school. No, >> no, no doubt about that. >> All right. Anybody have anything else? All right, Keller. >> Thank you everyone for your input. Policy JKA is in your board packet. Technology resource selection and adoption. The district will select and purchase computer hardware and software that support educational goals, comply with regulations, avoid bias, and remain district property while regularly evaluating
027their quality and suitability. It's a date change. The remaining policies will be in your folder. Policy IHAC, social studies education, sets the district's vision for social studies by emphasizing the importance of preparing informed critical deacon citizens who can participate responsibly in a diverse and a connected democracy. It also requires schools to observe Veterans Day by providing instruction on the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence while allowing families to opt out of related activities if requested. The information highlighted in red should be removed and the information highlighted in yellow is the addition and continue in your folder. policy IH AD science education states that science education is for all students and aims to build scientific literacy through hands-on learning that helps students understand and engage with the natural world and technology is the date change policy
028I h arts education it's in your folder the board's vision is that all students receive a child centered arts education in elementary school to foster creative, intellectual, and cultural growth with elective arts courses offered in grades 7 through 12. It's a date change policy IH A music education. The district values music education as part of a complete program requiring vocal and general music in preK through six and offering vocal and instrumental music as electives from grades 5 through 12. The information highlighted in red should be removed and the information highlighted in yellow is the addition policy IH ah foreign language education. The board supports strengthening foreign language education by offering it as an elected in secondary grades and in spanding that instruction to middle and elementary levels as resources allowed. The information highlighted in red
029should be removed and the information highlighted in yellow is the addition again remain in your folder policy IH AJ computer technology literacy. This policy states that the district's goals is to develop technological literate students by ensuring all learners and staff have access to and can effectively use technologies to support teaching, learning, and district operations when needed. The information highlighted in red should be removed and the information highlighted in yellow is the addition. policy I HA L teaching about religion is in your folder. The policy says schools may teach about religion objectively as part of the curriculum to promote understanding and tolerance without promoting or criticizing any belief while allowing students to express their own religious or non-religious views in their work. That policy is a date change. And last but not least in your folder
030policy I HB I B primary pre- primary education child development. This policy explains how the district provides primary and pre- primary education including special education services to children ages 3 to five with developmental delays or disabilities whose parents request the services. This policy also outlines the eligibility, the screening requirements, public outreach, staff training, and compliance with state and federal education laws. The information highlighted in red is the is to be removed, and the information in yellow is the addition. Are there any questions regarding the 20 policies and one administrative rule? >> Anybody have any questions or comments? Why are we taking out on policy IHBI? Why are we taking out the part? Say the district would try to contact the parents whose children um will reach age three or four before September 1st. What What's
031the purpose of taking that out? >> That's the last one there. >> Yeah, the last one. >> Yes, sir. >> It in red means you're taking it out, right? >> Yes, sir. >> That's what I thought. Just just out of curiosity, what said he said the district would try to contact the parents of those children who will reach age three or four on before September 1st and who have potential for later school failure. Why are we taking that out? >> Because it says the program is available to four year olds and three year olds if appropriate. Well, honestly, special needs program. That is because with this policy concentrates on children with special needs. With children with special needs, the diagnosis begins before they turn three. So the school is all the district is already knowledgeable
032of those children who have special needs and will be coming into the district because we're already providing some services. >> So this is not your regular prek program. >> Okay. Uh yeah, I knew the child development you which is something I've been very proud of as many of you oldtimers may remember you when I was principal we offered full day child development before most schools in the district in the state did most most school and I think the state if I'm correct the state only paid for half day and if you wanted full day which we offered the district had to pick up that second half day which we did for many many years that something I was very proud of we reached all the four young children um and you know as principal um
033especially children that came from backgrounds that maybe didn't have some of the advantages of others. Uh that was a big to me uh I thought was a big lift up for those ch children's uh ability to be more successful once they got into kindergarten and first grade and on. So uh I wouldn't want to in our district I was always very proud of our four-year-old child development program. I thought that uh that was you know a big and it was popular. I mean it was a popular program. I mean kids, you know, parents wanted the kid take advantage of it and um so I went on in any way, you know, I um I I don't know, I can't recall I I know we had the option that when we got filled um we had
034priority and I we had to take the kids that tested out needing the most need, we had to prioritize them, which is rightfully so. But I don't think we ever had a problems filling those programs. And but I certainly wouldn't want to uh have any children that were maybe um uh weren't maybe have the advantages of some other children as far as location, as far as you know uh parental um you know, supervision or whatever the case cuz so many parents had to work odd jobs at different hours and things of that nature. I wouldn't want them to miss out on the program because the parents just didn't know about the programs. And that's what concerned me about this that because to me and maybe I'm reading this wrong, but if the district, you know,
035if we knew about children or if we thought there were some parents out there who didn't know about the program, but for whatever circumstances there were that we could certainly find an avenue to uh find those kids if they were out there needing a program because, you know, we offered bus transportation um not the food service programs we have um um early intervention from medical what you know whatever the case may be and the earlier you catch kids like that the better off you're going to be so I wouldn't um I wouldn't want to put an undue um burden on the district where you know but on the other hand I don't want us to be to the point get us to the point where we just say well first come first serve you know
036you're in you're in and we filled up that's it I want to make sure we we're reaching those kids that may truly and in a district like like ours um that has you know we're one district. Our county um is a small county compared to other but still nonetheless we're countywide district and it literally goes from the lower part of Orangeburg County all the way up to to Lex and Richland County and uh so we we we pretty have a pretty big area. We have a small population but we're a pretty big area. And so I and our schools have to our three schools have to serve the entire area of Caloon County. So, I want to make sure that we had outreach and to those kids that truly might need it. >> Mr. Nelson,
037I'm sorry. You you're absolutely right. Um the early childhood program still remain pretty popular and we're even serving kids now 3 years old. um this policy refers to our um special ed population and we're reaching those children through what we call child fine and I think um this stated by September 1st but that's a continuous process because we're catching those children as soon as they turn 3 years old that can be December 1st or February 1st when they turn 3 years old if there's a known um disability we bring those young people into school. >> Okay. I again, you know, if if if if um if there's a disability, I mean, the heading doesn't say anything about special education. It says primary pre- primary education. And that's why I was asking. I thought, you know,
038I don't see if I read on down, it might have something about special education. I'd get above it. And then you read that first paragraph that where it says the district will make available special education and related services to all preschool children diagnosed with a disability. I think that covers it all. And I I appreciate and hear what you're saying. We don't want to leave anybody out obviously, but I think I think that paragraph, if you read that entire paragraph, I see it on the first line down here basically. And then when you look at the part we delete down in that first sentence in red, it says the district will try to contact parents of those children, which is almost I hate to use the word redundant, but again, and and there's no teeth
039in that try to contact um I guess maybe the attorney sees that a word mean what the word says. We can try to contact them, but if there's something that we missed, well, nobody can come back home and say, "Well, you didn't contact these parents." Well, we tried to contact them, but you know what? What does try mean? I guess what I'm getting, but I think that taking that out and having that first paragraph up there pretty well covers it all. So, >> yes, and just like Dr. Jones said, child, we also have baby net as well as first steps uh that >> help to identify those. They refer kids back to us for services. Um, in fact, some of our clinicians go over to um John Ford First Steps, excuse me, to provide services
040for young people over there that need specialized services. Okay. All right. Thank you. Thank you for that discussion and explanation. Um, is that it, Miss Keller? All right. And we um have before us u you look back at our room and you said 20 policies and one administrative rule that we've just gone over. Miss Keller just gone over with us. Uh and um I'll ask if we hear a motion to take first reading on those 20 policies on the amendments to those 20 policies and one administrative rule that have been presented to us tonight and that they are reflected in the agenda. Um, so we won't have to name all the policies. Again, >> I make a motion that we take first reading on the 20 policies and the one administrative rule that was presented
041in the agenda on this evening. >> All right, you all heard Mr. Jenkins motion. Is there a second? >> Second. >> I have a motion and a second to take first reading on the 20 policies and one administrative rule that are listed in the agenda for this evening's meeting. Uh, this is first reading. We'll take second reading I guess uh at uh our regular meeting next week. All right. All right. Then uh is there any discussion before I call for the vote? Hearing none. All those in favor of that motion to take first reading on these 20 policies and one administrative rule is listed in the agenda, please signify by saying I. I. All oppose. No. Motion carries. and those uh first reading has been taken on those 20 policies and that one AR. All
042right. Thank you, Miss Keller. >> Thank you. >> Next on the agenda then is an executive session for personnel recommendations and resignations as well as the superintendent's evaluation. Is there before we take that vote, can I um please just give a couple updates and thank yous. Yeah, I'd like to say thank you to everyone for their flexibility in adjusting your schedule back on last Monday, February the 2nd. Um, as we all know, the district transitioned to e-learning due to the potential of hazardous traveling conditions from the winter storm of last week. Um, the district now has four ER days in the event we need to use any of them for any interruptions to the normal school day. Every year the state gives us five e-learning days. We use one again on last Monday, February 2nd.
043Next week, Monday, February 16th, we'll have the regular scheduled February meeting that will be here in the boardroom. We'll be recognizing several student groups and staff groups, the highest GPA for the second quarter, our EOCC perfect scores, our sunny staff members, um as well as our school counselors. Uh so again, that meeting will be here in the boardroom on next Monday, February 16th at 7:30. Um, and lastly, students and adult representatives from the band will accompany me at city council, excuse me, county council chambers on Monday, February 23rd at 5:00 p.m. 5:30 p.m. Uh, the band will be recognized by county council for their performances and representation of the county at the Sugar Bowl back in December. Um, that is all I have for this evening, Mr. Ch. >> 23rd, you said when you go
044to county council. Yes, we'll be with county council on Monday, February 23rd at 5:30. >> 5:30. >> Okay. >> The district's in session on Monday. >> Yes, we are. >> President's Day. >> Yeah, we'll be in school on Monday. >> Uh we will be out of school on that Friday. I believe it's the 20th. Yeah, there's no school Friday, February 20th. Okay. That's the mid winter break for the district. So, all buildings will be closed on next Friday. >> I'm just writing this down about county council on the 23rd at 5:00 p.m. If I can make it, I'm >> 5:30. I said I wrote down 5:30, but I said 5:00. Thank you for correcting me, Mr. Frederick. >> Yes, sir. >> Um, and then we meet next Monday night here at 7:30. >> 7:30, >>
045our regular February meeting. >> Yeah. >> Um, thank you. >> You probably noticed off the top of your head, but I was looking at my calendar. When is graduation?
