From middle school we have from high school. We have Aubrey Johnson. And then finally from New School, we have Congratulations. part of our special on behalf of the offic will receive a for her service as well as a certificate of serviceman began her service with the school district in 2006 and she has been a

The public participation section of school board meeting is designed comments from the public but is limited to 30 minutes. During this portion of the meeting, board members will listen to concerns and comments but will not answer questions or debate issues. Each participant will be making complaints about school tonight. wishes. So, young man. My grandson questions. No interaction. Whatever. We don't know how to work with us. entire father invited grandsonuck at home. ask someone to do it across. members and 15 overnight travel. turnie fin. Finen down into our three major components, our federal, state, and local On the left, I've annual budget for each category. on the right of that yellow that's category that we've received so
003far as 30th our local state is about 37% Yes, sir. It is fairly common, but our federal revenue question components. Fundamental goes on get more and more you'll see that kind of fill up towards the end of the year and then like I that that 90,000 comes that extra 90 comes right at the end of the year. Uh with a from a local perspective, uh this is something that we deal with pretty much every year. Our our main collections are going to be in that November through February when those real estate adorum taxes come in. Uh, and that's one of the reasons why it's really important that we keep a healthy fund balance just because we have to have that cash to float the beginning of the school year because people got to get paid
004in July and August just like they got to get paid in January. But the majority of that local revenue comes in right there in the winter months. >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. the the the scare that we had a few months ago with the federal shutdown and everything. Those those those grants are starting to come in. They're starting to get approved. They're a little bit delayed now. Uh and Dr. Hoffman can speak to it uh better than I can as far as the specifics of the deadlines and things, but um those are those are coming in and we're not really losing that that big piece of revenue that we thought we could potentially. Any other questions on the revenue side? All right. And here we have a sim similar graphical representation of our labor and
005our non- labor expenditures. So as you can see our non- labor costs are largely frontloaded and that's due to your annual contracts and subscriptions that typically get paid out right at the beginning of the year. And you'll see that the labor side is more evenly spread out throughout the year. So that more closely aligns with the percentage of the fiscal year that we have we've gone through so far. And like I said, this this is that big challenge that we face every year. making sure we have cash flow available because those expenditures come more front end loaded and the revenue comes in towards the middle and end of the year especially on that local side. Uh so right now we have uh our labor costs are at 37% and non- labor is sitting at 52%
006expended. Any questions on that? All right. This will be something that I'm going to continue to update the board on each month uh in our finance as well as our facility committee meetings, but I do feel that it's important to to address here as well. Here you're going to see our year-to- date uh sales tax revenue from the penny sales tax referendum that passed back in November of 24th. Uh there haven't been any expenditures charged against that revenue yet this year, but that was a result of some conservative planning prior to our recent bond referendum this past November. And now that all those funds are fully accessible to the district, those projects are are underway and they're getting started. So you'll see that those expenditure numbers uh go onto that graph in in future months.
007Any questions as it relates to that. All right. And finally, uh some some quick highlights. Uh you will notice on that that November report that the payroll expenditures are slightly higher than normal and that was due to the holiday bonus that was paid out on November 21st. Uh second thing, we are preparing for a reduction of the previously budgeted state aid to classrooms revenue amount that we talked about back in the spring. Uh that reduction is due to a larger than anticipated decrease in our student counts between the spring and this most recent fall 45th day reports. It's impossible at this point to really determine exactly what that reduction is going to look like from a revenue standpoint because this new proportionate share model that we're under is so largely dependent on what everyone else
008does. So, and when I say everyone else, I mean other districts. So, if other districts go up or down, that can impact where our revenue goes as well. Just one of the many challenges with budgeting that we're facing with this new model. But we should be getting those new numbers any day now. I think last year they came out a little earlier last year. So hopefully this week or next week I'll share that next meeting. Finally, we have a scheduled repayment of our TAN and our SKGO general obligation bonds and that's coming up over the next three months, January, February, and March. Any questions related to any of that? Thank you so much. >> Thank you. >> All right. Now, we'll have our chief academic officer. >> Good evening, Madam Chair. Dr. Ballinger, members of
009the board. I know that you've been given the um curriculum report and there was just a few areas that I'd like to highlight. Um first of all with the CTE um program, Jackson Rainwater from Shaw High School took second in a expressions where um participants had to write an essay on a current agricultural or environmental topic. Jordan Caldwell from Central High School also earned second place in agricultural communications. Um and that was where students had to promote agricultural through various methods whether it media or presentations, networking or such and so certainly want to um give congratulations to those students. Kindergarten connections has already started and that is our intervention program for um 5K students and uh that begins second semester and and the purpose of that is to make sure that those students in kindergarten
010have the foundational skills that they need to be successful in first grade. Online registration for 4K and new 5K students will be held on Thursday, February 26th and that will continue um for several weeks. And so we want to get our students in and get them registered. Schools will then contact parents and then parents will bring the child in um so that the school can meet the child and do a what we call the the dial for assessment with those students. Yes. Yes. And there is also a required parent meeting and it is very well attended. So 100% participation um very strong 4K program and very good parent engagement. >> Yes. Yes, we do have a good relationship with Head Start and and our goal is for all students to be in some type of
011prek program whether it's our program or first steps or head start. But that is the goal is we want um in fact the state department helps us make sure that we have not long uh left any children out there that any child that we we want those children in preschool. Definitely. Um the fine arts program there was lots of held in December and I'm not going to read all those to you, but um the bands participated um chorus and so we're very excited about all of the things that happened in December. Um there will be a spring job fair on Saturday uh February 28th right here at the Palmeta Learning Center. um Chesterfield Ruby Middle School um worked with our technology instructional technology specialist to explore various careers with the the virtual reality. Um so
012students were able to explore carpentry or electricity forklift operator and such. The federal programs is spotlighting a title one school each month. Um so October, New Heights was was spotlighted. Um and then in November, Jefferson Elementary um in December, most recently, was Shal High School. And so there was lots of um exciting things going on at those schools. We want to report that the end of course testing went very smoothly. We were able to test all of our students. In addition, we had students that qualified for the gifted intelligent program and then over 160 students. Dr. Ballinger, Madam Chair and members of the board. Um, I would like to go over the discipline data for the month of December. Um, this d this data is an overview of discipline trends throughout the district and within
013our grade levels. But I want you to keep in mind the reporting window for the data in December was only 12 and a half school days. So I'll show you I'll share the numbers with you. Um so our top five high school infractions for the month of December were again uh top five number one was phone violations at 15.9%. Uh tardies were at 9.3% and disrespect was at 8.6% cutting class was at 6.6% and lording was 6%. Um totaling 46.4% 4% of all the incidents reported in power school in December at the high schools. For our middle schools, the top infraction was inappropriate behavior at 22.5%. Truency at 7 at 13.2%. Disrupting class at 13.2% computer violations at 6.2% and refusal to obey or def. And that totaled 61.3% of the incidents reported in power
014school for the month of December for our middle schools. And at our elementary schools, our top infractions were inappropriate behavior at 22.2%, truency at 19.8%, heat kick push at 14.8%. Disrupting class at 11.1%. And then we had for fifth it was a four-way tie. So it was the same numbers. It was inappropriate language at 5%, bus violations at 5%, refusal to obey, defiant at 5%, and threats at 5%. Which total about 87.9% of the incidents reported in power school for our elementary and primary schools. So, districtwide, our top five infractions were coming at number one was inappropriate behavior at 15%. Truency at 9.4%. Disrupting class at 8%, phone violations at 6.9%. And then there was a three-way tire for fifth at refusal to obey at 5.3%, hit kick push at 5.3, and disrespect at 5.3%.
015totaling 55.2% of incense reported in power schools in December districtwide. So once again, the key trends that we're seeing is inappropriate behavior remains the most consistent and prevalent infraction across all five months ranging from 11.2% to 17.4. Attendance related infractions truency and tardis continue to fluctuate with a notable spike in October and sustained presence throughout December. Phone violations show a gradual decline from August, stabilizing in the 6 to7% range by November and December. Physical behaviors incidents like heat kick push remain relatively stable throughout the semester. And then of course uh December shows increased behavioral dispersion with multiple infractions contributing equally resulting in the highest cumulative percentage at 55.2% of the year to date. But that's because they're not there weren't that many infractions and because if you have four in one category, four in another,
016that's why it looks dispersed. So we'll go back and look at the December data when we look overall because it was a shorter window of time for the infractions to be recorded. So the data suggests that while uh core behavioral concerns remain consistent due to the shortened period of reporting incidents in power school in December reflects a broader range of infractions impacting overall discipline trends. Any questions? >> Thank you sir. >> Thank you. >> Now we'll turn it over to Dr. uh for superintendent report and for uh and it's school board recognition month. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. Uh I would like to welcome everybody joining us uh today in the audience, everybody joining us live. I think we are live now, right? I know we're having some technical difficulties early and I want to
017thank the team that worked on that to get that corrected. Um and then just glad everybody is taking an interest in the public schools and what's happening with our students and our staff. So tonight, I would like to start off that uh proud to recognize and and thank the members of the Chesterfield County School Board for their dedicated service and leadership during the schoolboard appreciation month this January. I just want to mention that your commitment to student success, community engagement, and educational excellence helped shape the future of our schools and the lives of all learners in our district. I want to personally thank you for your time, vision, and unwavering support of public education in Chesterfield County. I also wanted to recognize tonight that or want to inform the board that um students returned on
018January 5th and report cards for the first semester were issued on January the 8th. January the 8th was also a parent teacher conference or what we call here a late night. Um I'm still getting used to that one. Uh I also wanted to make note that we will have a late late night or late day however whatever we on January 15th as well because that's going to balance out for the February 2nd um the Old English Consortium will have a PD day for district employees. So this this trades out for that PD day that Nope. Nope. Okay, they're shaking their heads. No, I was all confused about that. Huh? March 13th. Okay, got it. March 13th. I was just getting confused there. Thank you for the for the support. So that's for March 13th, but
019then on February 2nd, we do have the Old English Consortium PD. Um, so I just got those two combined there, but thank you for the the clarification. Also wanted to mention that there will be no school on January 19th because that is Martin Luther King Jr. Day and all schools will be closed. And then February 9th through the 13th. I did want to mention that because that will be inter session week and we do have a board meeting on the 9th. So inter session will have already started by that point in time. So I just wanted to let you know about that. Go to the next one here. Let me pull this up. Nope. I got one more. So in in honor of schoolboard recognition month, the state of South Carolina governor's uh proclamation, whereas
020education is the foundation upon which economic, intellectual, and social capital of our state is built, and whereas school boards directly influence instruction in South Carolina's public schools. And whereas the decisions of local school boards affect the present and future lives of children with setting the direction to prepare all students to be competitive in local, state, national, and global 21st century knowledge economy. And whereas local schoolboard members work with parents, businesses, education professionals, and the community and other community members to represent their views and create the idea ideal educational vision for their public schools and students. And whereas schoolboard recognition months month highlights the unique role school boards play in representing their constituents by promoting quality public education. Now therefore, I, Mr. McMasters, Governor of the great state of South Carolina, do hereby proclaim January 2026
021as schoolboard recognition month throughout the state and encourage all South Carolinians to recognize the contributions of local school board members to academic success of public school students across the Palmetto State. So, I just want to say thank you for everything that you do. And I know that a lot of times as a school board member, um, you don't get a lot of thank yous. So, I wanted to provide that to you tonight and just give you a hand for the job that you do. >> Thank you, sir. We appreciate that. Now, we're on the action items. Dr. our HR head will come up and give us our personnel exhibits and position changes. >> Madam Chair, Dr. Valinger and members of the board and um viewers at home. Prior to this evening, you received personnel exhibits
022for your review. I recommend approval of the exhibits and addendum, please. >> All those in favor? Thank you, ma'am. >> So, for the um we have a um a request for a new position at an um at Plain Boo Elementary. An IEP team has determined that the student needs support of an educational associate or educational assistant. We used to call those shadows to um provide needs that are um exceed those that can be provided in the classroom. And so this position would be pertain to this student at Plane View Elementary. >> So move it. >> All those in favor? >> Thank you. Thank you so much. Okay, our next item is um turn it over to the superintendent regarding this contract which I sent you all an explanation this past week of what that change
023is. Everyone read it. >> So, Madam Chair, if you want, we can go into executive session because we have a second executive session at that time and then come out and take an action. We can >> put this and come back to it at a later time if you want. >> That's good. >> Okay. >> All right. All right. Now, Miss come back and our continuous improvement plans. >> Good evening, Madam Chair, Dr. Ballinger, and members of the board. Um, there are two ways that a school can be placed on an improvement status. This is based on the overall report card rating or it could be through subgroup performance. Okay. So in October as you know our overall report card ratings were released. Um at that time Central High School and Shaw Intermediate were required
024to develop improvement plans because of their their status. Um Central High School uh received an unsatisfactory status and all intermediate below average. These schools develop continuous improvement plans which address goals in math, ELA, and resource and equity. The South Carolina Department of Education requires these plans to receive board approval prior to submission to the state department. You have been uh given copies of the plans and I am requesting your approval for those plans this evening. I have a question. How long is this plan? >> What What kind of time is this? >> Three years. >> This is an annual plan. So whenever they receive because of the report card, they get a new report card every year. So these are only one year. >> So what happen if you don't meet the goal that you
025set. >> Um so essentially um things will get a little worse. Um there is a point where a school can go into emergency management where the state will come in and we provide a coach in the school that over three. >> Okay. So we had a school I I cannot remember ever having a school where the state come in. >> So things have changed in the way that um we do school improvement. We have had a school where we had someone to come in. At one time we had a a coach that came in and work. Um that was Ches Ruby Middle School. Nobody remembers that. That was a long time ago. Um and she was only in for a year. But um since then we have not had someone unsatisfacted. >> So the the
026one that is for um central and for shrer immediate is just an annual plan. So and it's according to that is based on their overall report card rating. Okay. And if they're unsatisfactory or below average then they have to do the continuous improvement plan. And then the next year if they are are um unsat or continue or below average they would do another plan. Of course with that comes you know some more intense um scrutiny. Yeah. >> Um but there is another one that we're going to talk about in a minute. So we do there is that's kind of a state. Um the one we're going to talk about now is more of a federal um because one of the programs looks at the overall status. Now we're going to look at what happens whenever
027they start looking at the subgroups within a school. You ready? Okay. You got a question? Uh Yes. >> Yes. >> Any other questions? >> All right. we'll look at the other school designations. So, we looked at the the full school and now we're going to look at the subgroups within the school. So, each school has subgroups. Um most of the subgroups are race, um students with disabilities, poverty, ML. Okay. So those subgroups and what happens is the state once the report cards come out and they do all of the figuring and put everybody in order. Um they start looking at subgroup performance and if we have subgroups that are not performing according to where they they say they should be then they also have plans that they have to write. So is this does this
028work? Okay. All right. So there are a couple of designations. Um the first one is called ATSI. That's additional targeted support and improvement. Those designations come out every three years. And that means that the subgroup is at or below the fifth percentile. They take all of the schools, they take all of the elementaryaries, they rank them. They take all of the middles, they rank them. They take all of the high schools and they rank them. and um and they come up with a threshold for what is the bottom fifth five fifth percent. Um they do that every three years. Um this year is a new year so we have new thresholds. Um for elementary it's 36.64 middle >> excuse me what what did that 3664 mean? >> That is the overall um indicator rating for
029the report card. >> What does it mean for students in that school? So they're going to write a plan and we will be looking at trying to do things to try and get them over those thresholds. >> Okay. >> So right now basically a third of our students in that school that school basically saying a third of the twothirds of the students are not passing. >> Well the thresholds that are up there are what the threshold is for the bottom 5%. So now we're going to look at all of our subgroups and compare it to that. Yeah, it's a little it's it's it's a little confusing. >> Um >> the schools that do have subgroups below those thresholds will receive federal money. Um those amounts should be released later this month. They will create individual
030improvement plans and then from that we will create a district plan to um address all of our subgroup performance. >> Question does that mean those title one. >> No, they're they're they're already title one. They get title one based pure off of poverty. Yeah. Yeah. So, if you're a title one school, sometimes um you can get some designations that other schools that aren't title one don't get. All right. There's another designation that is what we call TSI. TSI CUS. um as targeted support and improvement and it's a consistently underperforming subgroup. Now these are annual designations. Okay. And that means that those subgroups are at or below the 10th percentile for three consecutive years. New thresholds are are um determined every year. And I put what these thresholds were this year. Um for elementary 40.5 for
031middle 34.25 25 and for high 43.3. This is essentially like a a subgroup watch list. Um we get this every year. It'll have the groups that we need to be watching that are consistently underperforming. And it's essentially like our schools, the whole school gets a report card and they get that number and that determines whether they're unsat below. This is taking the subgroups and the subgroups have their own report card. So, um, so the feds, um, kind of give us a list of what's allowable. expenses. Um, one of the things about ATSI over the past few years, they've not let us use that for parenting. Um, which is not one of the allowable expenses. So, um, most of the time it's, um, doing after school, um, you know, if there's enough money to hire someone
032for, you know, to be a coach or to hire someone to do intervention, those kind of professional development, those are the kind of things that are usually allowable in this. Now, title one, if they're title one school, they get title one funds and they have to have parenting funds. So, there are places, you know, for that to happen. Okay. So, those are the two designations that we have. Um, we're going to look now at where our schools are. Um, as you know, Central High and Sher Intermediate were both underperforming schools. Central um was unsatisfactory. Central also has a TSI group, Hispanic. So that's a group that we need to be watching. We don't have to do a plan for yet, but we need to to keep an eye out on what's going on with them.
033Shan Intermediate was below average. Um Shaw Intermedia has two group two subgroups that scored um below um and will be ATSI. Um the first group is is our black subgroup and the second is our disabled group. This will be the second cycle that Shiron immediate is in for disabled. So they have already been we've been working for three years. They were reidentified. We will work for another three years. Shron Intermediate is a title one school. If we go to a third cycle, then they automatically would become what we consider CSI, which is kind of the wor we don't have anybody there, but the the worst level, and that's where they would have people that would be coming into schools and working with us. No, it's it's any student that is um at that school that
034is um a student with disabilities. Okay. That receives special education services. Um it takes we look at those numbers. In order for a school to have a subgroup, they have to have 20 or more students in that subgroup. So, um yeah, that that's it. It it it takes into account all students with disabilities. So, last year we had three for the um last cycle we had three which were Edwards Elementary, Paige Elementary, and Shrine immediate that were ATSI disabled. Each one of those schools are reidentified. So we will be writing we will continue um working with them and writing another plan. We have also added the four middle schools. So, all four of our middle schools, Jesfield, Ruby, U, Mattby High, Long, and New Heights will also, um, have an a disabled group that we
035will be working with, um, and trying to come up with a plan on how we can help them. I will tell you that those schools weren't too far off from the threshold. The new ones weren't that far off. So, um I I think that we have some things um that we're we're looking at that um that will help, but they will be ATSI for three years. It is a three-year cycle. >> Question. So, is this a new reporting system? >> No. Is it is not a new one. It is an old one that just keeps getting remade. So, um, 2018 was the first year that they had it and then of course, you know, COVID hit and that kind of messed a whole lot of everything up. Um, the last year, the last um, three
036years, 22, um, was the cycle that we really, um, received money and wrote plans and and they're kind of, you know, finessing it a little bit. Um, so school improvement has always been there. It just changes every time the law gets reauthorized. >> So instead report curriculum report that was 741 students in special ed. This is the group that we're talking about. Okay. >> So what are our next steps? Um, we just received this information on on Thursday was when it was released, so it's still kind of new. Um, what we'll do is we'll begin completing needs assessments for each school, looking at what are some of the root causes, you know, identifying who these students are um and, you know, and and looking at what kind of interventions we're doing um and and what
037we need to be doing. Um, each school will develop a continuous improvement plan. Um we will all get together and we will develop those based on their individual needs. Um and then we will develop a continuous improvement plan for the district that will probably that will include professional development um any kind of strategies for improvement. The state also provides um a good many professional development opportunities that last year was the first time that I'd participated in them and they were they were really good. So, I'm looking forward to what they're um going to be putting out this year. In fact, we go on February 3rd for our first one. Any questions? I hate being >> a second. We had a motion. >> May have to do that over again. Yes, please. >> We got ahead
038of ourselves. >> All right. All those in favor? >> Thank you. >> Welcome back, Dr. King. >> Yes, ma'am. >> You going to give us our policies? >> Yes, ma'am. Um, so good evening once again. You have already been given a copy of policy JLCDD. At this time, I would like to recommend it as presented for first reading. >> I need a motion for first reading. >> Second. >> All those in favor? >> All right. And also, you've been given a copy of the administrative rule that goes along with the policy JLCD. So, at this time, I would like to recommend it as presented for first read. Need a motion for first reading? >> All those in favor? >> Is that all? >> No ma'am. Now I want to talk about the updated uh fight
039initiative. Uh so the goal the goal of this policy is to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment for all students and staff. Fighting disrupts instruction, threatens safety, and undermines a positive school culture. This updated policy establishes clear, progressive consequences while still allowing opportunities for learning, reflection, and behavioral change. The policy aligns uh with district discipline standards, state law, and best practices for school safety. So, one of the some of the changes that we made uh the kids have uh for the first offense for a fight, you know, in the past it was if they fought then they out uh virtual for the rest of the school year regardless at what point of the year that they were um fighting. So now what we've done is the first offense is five and up to 10
040days of OSS. Um if the 10 days uh students will if the students are given 10 days for the first defense, they will also have to attend evening school for 10 days to make up seat time because of course with a semester class, you can only miss five. You can only have 5 unexcused absence. So if you go over that, you have to make up seat time. Um students can also attend Saturday school for up to 20 hours to make up for the seat time as well. So that's the first part of it. The second part, the student returns to school after the suspension days under a discipline contract. Also, P, uh, we still have the possibility of thirdderee assault charges, and that's at the discretion of the SRO, which it always has been. So,
041we still have that in place. And also, one of the components that I love is the 24 hours of community service that they have to do as well. Um, students must complete all assigned community service hours prior to participating in extracurricular activities. Failure to complete the required hours will result in ineligibility for all extracurricular activities until completion is confirmed. So that puts more teeth behind it, but it still gives them an opportunity to return to school after the first offense. The second change was with a second offense. They are automatically referred to the hearing officer. The options for the hearing officer are alternative placement of up to 45 days. Um and that would be that could be alternative school, that could be evening school, that can be virtual. Um but the infraction may warrant students
042spending additional time in alternative placement. if the infraction and this is what I like because before we talked about the inequ the inequities I'm sorry in the policy so this will fix it so if uh the infraction occurs towards the end of the school year punishment will carry over to the next year to be equitable so it will carry over so if a fight occurs in May and it's up to 45 days that 45 days will extend over into the next school year so equitable throughout. So regardless of when the infraction occurs, they will still have to serve that particular punishment. Also, with the second offense, it requires a loss of extracurricular activity participation. Um, for seniors is possible loss of senior privileges and graduation participation. >> Question. >> Yes, sir. >> When you say
043possible loss, that means some senior might get privilege and some can't. If if if they're a second offense already, then a part of that is let's say for instance, if they have not completed the 48 hours, which is I hadn't gotten to that part yet, of the community service, then they will not be able to participate in extracurricular activities with that. >> Yes, sir. That is totally up to the the individual and administration on how that's set up. >> Um, but the main thing is as far as that that goes for their participation in extracurricular activities. So they won't be able to do any of that until that community service piece is completed. They can do it within two weeks, they can do it within a month, but they have to complete it. >> So
044have we identified any organization or group that might want to take them uh to do community service? >> We have we've identified several of them and we we're constantly in communication with the local municipalities as well. Um some of them already have a list of things that they that the kids can do like washing cars or different things like that. Also within the school there's community service that they can do as well. Par being paired up with a custodian uh helping uh the clean desk or doing different things like that. Just kind of giving back but making sure that they are doing those particular hours. >> Yes sir.
