001all right we are back and on item six recognitions miss gibson yes thank you cherry steph in tonight's recognition of achievement the following are the organization schools teachers and students who we feel honored to recognize tonight community partner coastal horizons school showcase Myrtle Grove Middle School, New Hanover County Schools Educators of the Year, Hoggard High School swimmer Jason Bunn, Laney High School wrestlers Marcus Mondragon and Mark Samuel, and the students who designed the All Hands on Deck logo. The district is pleased to continue board recognitions. Despite current circumstances and limitations, district students and staff continue to rise above and be their best selves. Before we get into those recognitions, we would like to highlight a community partner who has been instrumental in assisting and working with the district in the midst of this crisis. My
002name is Ryan Estes and my colleague Kristen Williams and I from Coastal Horizons will be presenting to you about the services available within New Hanover County. Coastal Horizons has been around for almost 50 years at this point. We are a private nonprofit organization and we've been closely working with the school system for several years and that relationship continues to expand. In this presentation, you'll have a moment to see all the different services that we provide, how we work with families and youth in the community, and how our relationship is a keystone of our work that we're doing for New Hanover. Our mission statement is that we're promoting choices for healthier lives, stronger families, and safer communities. And I want to pause and just take a quick moment to say the stronger families was something that's
003recently been added. And I think that reflects the fact that as an organization that started in the 70s, it was focused on substance use treatment and crisis services. We've evolved so much and we recognized internally that our work really was about stronger families. And so we just want to make sure that that's highlighted in everything that we do as we move forward. So the mission driven goals and our objectives. So we offer services in a way that school age children and adolescents can participate effectively. So what does that look like and what does that mean? We have treatment approaches that are based in several New Hanover County schools. We have a wide array of community based family services. We're really looking for comprehensive treatment. We're looking at making sure our staff are the best professionals
004that can be found in this community. We do that through partnerships with UNCW and other local universities. We do that by making sure that our staff reflects our community, having staff that have well above the minimum criteria. So oftentimes you'll find that a position may require a bachelor's level position, but we are hiring master's level professionals. One of the things that we work closely with... with our partners is figuring out where those gaps are in the community services. So are there kids that are falling through the cracks that there's not a service that's appropriate for them? We have started probably close to $10 million of new programming for children and families in the last five years. And I think that just speaks to the fact that we're committed to making sure that every kid has
005the right service at the right time. So this is a quick overview. And so on top, you're going to see different services broken out by age range. And so we have intensive family preservation services, and we're going to get into all of these in a moment, but this slide is just to help you conceptualize that there are usually multiple options based on age at any point in time. So, you know, for instance, we have Child First, which is a, it says three to six. We can actually go down as young as zero to six on that program. Our intensive in-home services is a home-based model working with families. We are the largest provider of that in the region. We have bilingual staff. We have master's level clinicians, a team-based approach, and that works with stabilizing
006family units from three to 20 years old. We have an parenting program called Incredible Years, which is an evidence-based model embedded in various local schools. We've worked at Gregory, Carolina Beach, DC Virgo, which is a charter school. but we've had an opportunity to work with multiple schools throughout the year. We also provide a respite youth shelter for kids in crisis. They can spend a night or they can spend a longer period of time, and that ages from six to 18. Recently, in the last couple of years, we've added a transitional living program, and that actually goes 18 to 21 is that kind of target range as we're helping young adults transition. They can actually go a little bit older. They can go up to 24, but we're really focused on that 18 to 21 years
007old for those kids that are aging out of foster care or don't have a great launch pad out of their current family environment. LinkedIn school-based services. For those who don't know, what merged with Coastal Horizons about four years ago. So our wellness and health access for teens of Coastal Horizons is located off of Oleander Drive. We also have wellness centers embedded in all four of the public high schools. And so that's just, it's a really wonderful resource that the community has for kids at those sites. We'll go into funding sources in a moment, but. just to highlight that we have the ability to serve both medical and mental health, behavioral health, substance use needs for on a sliding scale fee all the way down to if someone can't afford to pay anything we have access
008for grant funds and other contracts to be able to serve people that have no means to pay. Our prevention services, this takes the form of many different things. It could be coalition building. It could be when you're driving down college and you see the billboard that says the easiest place to find drugs is in your grandmother's lockbox or medicine cabinet. So we have all sorts of different public service announcements that we do. We also have groups for parenting programs, various things. It's a whole host of programming in our prevention department. And then our RCC, which is a rape crisis center, and they work with individuals who have experienced a sexual assault. We go into hospitals to do advocacy work and make sure that people are getting timely support. We also work with bars and other
009community partners around different types of preventative strategies. And then we can provide ongoing therapeutic supports at our office. Thank you so much Ryan for that. As Ryan has mentioned my name is Kristen Williams and I'm our school-based services program director for Coastal Horizons and so I have the privilege and honor to work with our school-aged children here in New Hanover County across a variety of services. And so the next couple of slides that I'll take you through really are meant to be reference slides so Ryan gave a great overview of some of the services that we offer. both school-based, school-linked, and then also in our community-based family services programming. And so these slides are really designed to provide a deeper dive into what those services look like, but then also to be a resource and
010reference later if you should need it. One of our biggest partnerships with New Hanover County Schools is through our Lake Forest Academy Day Treatment Program. And so this is where you can find both New Hanover County School staff and Coastal Horizon staff working hand-in-hand in the classroom in order to provide mental health intervention and academic support for children ages, I'm sorry, grades K through 8. And so these are students that meet a medical necessity based on their mental health or behavioral health diagnosis. and students that maybe are not performing or functioning at their best in their home schools. And so this offers mental health intervention in conjunction with academics. It really is a true partnership between the two coastal horizons and New Hanover County Schools. It also offers a case management, individual therapy, and real
011live in the moment mental health intervention for students that meet this level of service need. We also have our community-based family services and so Ryan had mentioned some of these. Again, child first, a home-based model that works with kids ages three to six and it focuses on and mirrors a lot of what New Hanover County school staff is doing around early intervention and so works with some of our younger school age population. Incredible Years works with Kids that are in that kind of next phase and this is a parenting program that offers services to really help parents learn how to engage in meaningful ways and build positive relationships with their children. And so this one has tons of incentives that come with it too, which families always enjoy. Our intensive in-home services offer mental health
012treatment in the home and in the community. for our students or school-aged population that may be at risk of out-of-home placement or experiencing crisis. And so team of three that goes into the home and really helps support in a wraparound crisis management, case management, mental health treatment, and substance use treatment way for our students. And then lastly, under our community-based family services, is our intensive family preservation services and while only DSS can refer to this program we really like to highlight it as a resource because again it just is a way that different systems DSS the schools Coastal Horizons are working together to serve families in crisis and to help with stabilization We are really excited about a new opportunity that we have in order to expand some of the services that we're already offering
013to our school-aged children by way of mental health treatment, individual and family counseling. And that is through the new SAMHSA Disaster Grant that was awarded to Coastal Horizons to serve school-aged children in the Tri-County area. And so we were able to add these three new positions, the community trainer, the health and wellness coach. and the Family Youth Partner to really offer additional support to our community around, I'm sorry, dealing with natural disaster of Hurricane Florence. And so the community trainer can work with school staff, can work with parent groups, can work with community partnerships around offering community resiliency model training, can offer youth mental health first aid and reconnect for resiliency. Our health coach can work with teachers and educators around how do we create mindfulness classrooms so that way we can help kids with
014emotion regulation in the school setting. And so we're really excited to have this new position be added to our team. And then unlike any other position that we have, on the child sector of things is our family youth partner. And so this is an individual who has lived experience being the caregiver of a child with a mental health or substance use disorder. And their job really is to kind of unite and align with families and help them figure out how to navigate some really complicated systems such as the mental health system, the medical system, sometimes the school system. Again, this opportunity through the SAMHSA disaster grant really allows Coastal Horizons to extend and expand the work that we're doing with school-aged children in New Hanover County in a way that we're really excited about. We
015have our after hours first responder line and so I think this is one of those hidden gems that don't always get talked about. But this is an opportunity for individuals who are engaged in care at Coastal Horizons to have access to a licensed therapist even after hours or outside of traditional business hours. This is not a crisis response or a mobile crisis line but it is a way for Coastal clients to still be able to connect. like I said, outside of business hours with a licensed therapist and for us to be able to offer the resources in the moment that that client needs. Coastal Horizons values evidence-based treatment and so with our school-aged children across all the programs that Ryan and I have chatted with you about, you can find different treatment modalities that are
016evidence-based practices being used. And so we have some of those listed here. Certainly this list is not extensive. The CBITS was another great example of the partnership between New Hanover County Schools and Coastal Horizons as when national trainers came in to train our therapy team, they also were able to train some New Hanover County School staff as well. So that way we're speaking the same language when we're interacting with school-aged children. And then you can see the other host of treatment models that we offer, whether that be trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, problematic sexualized behavior therapy. We have a seven challenges model that we use at our wellness centers, at our Oleander wellness site. We use it in intensive in-home to treat adolescent substance use disorders. And then we have aggression replacement, which is a group
017model. parent-child interaction therapy. So again, just a little snapshot of some of the mental health and substance use treatment modalities that we use in order to meet the needs of our school-aged children. Ryan had highlighted some of our residential services, and so here you'll find both open house youth shelter which serves 16 to 18 and then the transitional living program that serves 18 to 21 and some of the criteria. So open house really focusing on offering either emergency shelter or long-term residential services depending on what the youth's need is and the transitional living program focusing on creating self-sustaining behaviors, life skills. So that way youth that are in that transition period with monetary support for rental assistance and utilities along with educational classes can receive services to promote self-sufficiency. RCC is another program and I'm
018sorry my face keeps popping up all over in the wrong spots. RCC is another program that we have that offers services for victims of sexual assault and we do that in a variety of ways that you could see listed here. One of the more popular ways or familiar ways I guess I should say is through our shifting boundaries groups that you might have heard of that we offer. to middle school aged individuals. But again, these services are offered regardless of age to individuals in New Hanover County that have experienced a sexual assault. Ryan highlighted our Clinical Latina Program, and then I'll highlight again here that these services are also offered in Spanish. Our Prevention Program offers different outdoor adventure program. So you see the picture of the Alpine Tower here. We've had New Hanover County
019Schools staff participate in our low ropes course as a team building, which has been really fun. We have our step program, which is almost an extension of our incredible years program for families that have children that are in a little bit of an older age group. And then prevention really works around identifying needs, identifying gaps in services, and working through coalitions and community partnerships to identify ways that we can fill those gaps and meet those needs, especially in way of serving children and adolescents. What's most important to us is that we connect. And so this slide is probably one of the more important ones and it has a list of all of the phone numbers for each of the programs that we both, Ryan and I, had talked about. And while this is a way
020for you to reach out to Coastal Horizons to learn more about the programs that we offer to connect to a specific program, I also wanted to take this opportunity to highlight some of the other partnerships that we have with New Hanover County Schools. And so we have people who sit on the SHAC team and are a part of that. We have individuals from both New Hanover County Schools and Coastal Horizons students alike to sit on our advisory council teams. that really helps guide and dictate the way we do services at our wellness centers through the WET Clinic. And then we have people that sit on the student support team, mental health team through New Hanover County Schools too. And so what's most important to us is that we're learning about what the students of New
021Hanover County need and that we're offering evidence-based treatment models and we are offering resources and supports in order to meet those needs. And so we look forward to continuing to develop our relationships with New Hanover County Schools. We also look forward to you being able to connect with some of the programs that we offer to school-aged children. Here is just a quick, both Ryan and I's emails are listed here. Sometimes with these presentations, especially virtually, we don't get to cover everything. So if you have additional questions, we encourage you to reach out. If you have feedback and suggestions, we also encourage you to reach out. Some of our best program ideas and current services have been a result of feedback and ideas of others who are working with school-aged children. So we welcome that feedback
022and any suggestions. that you have. We thank you for your time, we thank you for your continued partnership with Coastal Horizons, and we look forward to continue working together to meet the needs of children and adolescents in our community. Sing, sing, sing, sing, sing Make em hear and bring it down May you win prizes shining like diamonds. May you really own it each moment to the next. May the best of your todays be the worst of your tomorrows. May the road less paved be the road that you follow. Well, here's to us that you're gonna break. Here's to us that you're gonna change. Here are the infinite possible ways to love you. I want you to have it, got a free pass. Here's to be sad without you. I want you to have it all.
023Of course, COVID-19 restrictions do not permit the district to hold the annual Educator of the Year banquet event. Winners were celebrated with a publisher clearinghouse style announcement. Each winner was visited at the residence or school with the event streamed live on Facebook, allowing for fellow educators, students, and community members to view the award presentation. The following individuals were named NHCSS Educators of the Year from elementary school. Trevor Todd, he's from Castle Hayne Elementary Middle School. Educator of the Year was Nunn Johnson. Holly Shelter Middle School. The High School Division, Elizabeth Feltz from New Hanover High School. Principal, Rachel Manning from Snipes Academy of Arts and Design. And of course, the 2020-2021 Overall Educator of the Year is Elizabeth Feltz. As a longtime supporter and sponsor of New Hennifer County Schools, Hendrick Toyota of Wilmington is
024proud to recognize this year's Teacher of the Year by giving a brand new 2020 Toyota RAV4 to them for a year. Now here's a short clip from the announcement. I just would like to thank everyone that supported me throughout my years in education. I'm a very new teacher and that's another big thing to be honored about. Like I'm only in my fourth year teaching and I feel. Like it's such an honor and I just want to thank everyone that's gotten me to this point. My school, Mr. Highsmith, like he's just had such a big impact on my life and I feel like if I can make an impact on one child's life then it's all been worth it. And I believe in a creative and exciting approach to education and even when that might be
025difficult into this time when things have been online and it's been a weird time, I've still kept that passion of online creative teaching and I feel like my students have benefited exponentially from it. This is beyond belief. I just can't believe I got this because there's so many great teachers we have in our county. And this is just I'm I'm just baffled. Are you sure you got it right? But again, thank you. Thank you. This is wonderful. This is just wow. The whole idea of bringing new things to kids so they can experience new things, so they can learn new things has always been what I love to do. I'm very honored to be chosen as the Principal of the Year for New Hanover County Schools. I've been chosen as the Principal of the Year
026in the past. This one means more to me than anything because of the school I work in here at Snipes Academy and with my staff and my students. They are amazing. They're the most resilient group of people I've ever worked with. They're hardworking, compassionate, and they come to work every day with love in their hearts. And I'm just very, very honored to be here. And I'm just very proud to be leading this school and working with this group of people. This is really, really exciting. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Surprised, overwhelmed, excited, grateful. I love my job so much. I love. Being a teacher and I'm so grateful that I get to do my job every single day in any type of circumstance whether that's in the classroom or now this is my classroom
027but I'm just supremely grateful that I'm a part of New Hanover County Schools and that They saw something great in me and wanted to celebrate that. My favorite thing is definitely the students. That's what wakes me up in the morning. That's what I'm driving to school to get to see their smiling faces. They are amazing and resilient and inspire me in so many ways and they deserve a great teacher and so that's what motivates me to work hard every single day. At this time, we would like to recognize our winter athletes who won state championship titles. First up, congratulations to Jason Bunn from John T. Hoggart High School. Jason took home the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 4A state title in diving, finishing with a score of 427.30. Jason is coached by longtime Hoggart
028swimming and diving coach Tammy Pruden. Our next state winners are a pair from Laney High School Wrestling coached by Andre Adams. Congratulations to Marcus Mundragon, the senior wrestler won the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 4A 138 pound title in wrestling. Marcus finished the season with a 55-4 record. The second wrestler to win a state title from Laney this past season is Mark Samuel. Samuel had an undefeated season and won the North Carolina High School Athletic Association State 106-pound state title. Congratulations, Mark. I'm David Sutherland of Morville Advertising Design. We're excited to be a sponsor of the All Hands on Deck logo contest. We would like to take this time to congratulate all four finalists, and we look forward to having you at the office to meet our design team. Thanks again for your work.
029Hey, I'm Jeff Morvell, and we wanted to congratulate the winner of the All Hands on Deck logo, and the winner is Laney High School. So congratulations, Laney High School Art Department, for creating such a dynamic and cool logo. Yeah, congratulations to the winner. The design, I think in the end, the one we chose just had the best feel to it. Woo! Congratulations! Congratulations to the winner of the logo contest. You did a great job. Congratulations to the contest winner. Congratulations. Congratulations. Congratulations. Hey, congratulations for winning the all hands on deck logo contest. Way to go. Congratulations. Congratulations to the contest winner. Job well done. That is one sharp looking logo. Congrats on the win. Congratulations. We also wanted to thank all the other high schools for participating. It was a really hard decision looking at
030all the finalist logos. They were really dynamic and exciting, and it was a fun project to be a part of. They all had different aspects of their designs that were really cool. It was a hard decision, so thank you for your participation. Funny thing, I think it was probably about 1987 that I won a similar contest. And it was a big deal. It was 30 bucks. It was for the tri-span run in Wilmington. It was for a bang. And I went home. And this is when you did everything with markers, you know, no computers. But it was cool. It was really cool. And I got it printed on T-shirts. I was pretty proud of that. And that was kind of, you know, started me. on my way, I think, to wanting to be a serious
031graphic designer. I was always an artist, but I wanted to be a graphic designer so I could work and do it. So anyway, congratulations to that. Maybe, hopefully, this would be a good start to your career. And that would be cool. Thank you. And board member Adams has a few words to say about all hands on deck now. Thank you. Thank you, Ms. Gibson. So All Hands on Deck is the community engagement program. The goal is to get more volunteers into our schools. And although we don't know what that's going to look like yet for this year, I'd like to thank some of the partners that have come on board to make this program just pop. So as you saw, Borville was instrumental in getting the logo. We had phenomenal entries from all of our
032schools. and we've got a partnership with Cape Pier Collective. We have, we are working with our New Hanford County Schools PTAs and we have some community representation, school representation. And the goal is really to get communities into our schools, increase volunteerism, and we really are looking to partner with businesses. So if you are a business that is looking to support our school system next year, please reach out, become part of All Hands on Deck and we just look forward. to getting as many people into our schools to learn about the wonderful things that are going on that we get to see every day all right thank you for all of those recognitions and yes all right moving on to item seven call to the audience we have had three individuals sign up first one deborah
033dix maxwell Chairwoman Estapa, members of the board, my name is Deborah Dix-Maxwell. On January 3rd, 2019, I interviewed for the school board Cape Fear Community College trustee position. One of the questions was that the board was looking for an engineer. I stated I was not an engineer and completed the questioning. I also contacted the board via email about the fact that there was no posting that being an engineer was part of the requirement. That same evening, I contacted engineers who would have applied if they had known the board was specifically looking for engineers. Fast forward to 2020. I saw the CFCC vacancy and applied. June 10, 2020 was my interview date. Review of the video after interviewing shows board member Justice inquiring about the industry question, and the response from Madam Chair was that she
034was unable to contact the person at the board for clarity. The fourth question read by Mr. Ravenbach was, the community college administration and the board has asked that our appointee have an industry-focused background. How does your candidacy match that request? contacted CFCC Chair Ann David and a subsequent letter from her indicated she had nothing to do with the question. Therefore, Madam Chair must not have been able to receive clarity from the North Carolina Association of Community College President or Chair. I'm not here to discuss the other dynamics of this election process, as the July 5th article in the Port City Daily does that. I'm here to express my concern that the industry requirement was not lifted. I am proud to be a social worker, and that is reflected in my resume. The application process is
035flawed if you cannot do like the county, which provides your major funding. It was the type of possession God desired or at large for every committee or commission vacancy. Is that too much to ask? It is my sincere hope that there is clarity and transparency when the next trustee application process is conducted by this institution. I applied because Commissioner Jonathan Barfield is the only minority member on the board, and I believe he was appointed by the government. We need to make sure that the composition of the board reflects the composition of our community and student body at Cape Fear Community College. Thank you. Next individual to sign up is George Vlasic. Good evening. My name is George Vlasic. I am a retired public school teacher and chair of the Education Committee of the New Hanover
036County NAACP. We wish to address the board concerning the selection of a new superintendent. We hope that the board members have had a chance to read the letter from the NAACP sent on July 3rd. It outlines what we see as essential qualities necessary in a new superintendent. We are sure that you are aware of the fact that in the past, our school system has failed in its constitutional obligation to, and I quote, provide a uniform system of free public schools wherein equal opportunities shall be provided for all students, end quote. Recent statements by the board indicate an understanding of the role of systemic racism in this failure. But actions speak louder than words. Therefore, we are asking the board to consider carefully the qualities we have outlined. The new superintendent must have a demonstrated commitment
037to racial equity and to working with the community, school staff, and administration to identify the sources of racial and economic disparities in the school system and to rectifying them. Just as importantly, the board itself needs to make a commitment to transparency. and to support and encourage these necessary changes, especially if there is pushback from some sectors of the community. In our letter to the board, we have outlined in greater detail the specific qualities we believe are necessary. We sincerely hope that you will take this opportunity to be a force for positive change in our community. Thank you. The next individual is Amanda White. Good evening, members of the board. My name is Amanda White, and I am the new president of the New Hanover County's Association of Educators. I'm speaking on behalf of educators, bus
038drivers, custodians, support staff, and administrators that are a part of the North Carolina Association of Educators in New Hanover County. I bring to you the concerns of our membership, the individuals that work for New Hanover County Schools. Teachers need the following to effectively educate our students during this pandemic. First, teachers need more professional development ranging from inclusion and diversity to effective methods for remote learning. I'm here to let you know that NCA provides free professional development in all of these areas. Our members have already attended many of these professional developments already. And did you know principals who are members of NCAE can be afforded free professional development for their staff? However, we have great instructional technology facilitators already in house at almost every school. We should utilize them and allow them to really shine during
039this time, but we need to make sure that the students who had the resources but that were not being effectively taught, along with students, that did not have the resources to be effectively taught. Those issues are addressed before August 17th. Secondly, are teachers and students need to be protected during this time? A high number of teachers will be at greater risk if they catch COVID to have complications along with our teachers that already have underlying health risks. I ask you, what happens when our sick leave runs out? With all of this said, there are waivers that other counties are pushing on their educators at stake, but they are not held liable if the employee gets sick with COVID. And at the very least, anybody with the possibility of being exposed to COVID at our schools
040deserves a response to understand why we must find these waivers when there are other safer options. We are essential to the students' learning, but it's not necessarily essential for all educators to be in the building. We cannot in good conscience create an educational environment that forgets these children and educators that are at risk of dying or getting severely ill with long-term consequences. It should be noted that NCIE is not in favor of these waivers putting students and teachers at risk unnecessarily. We want clarity and transparency through this process, and when you decide who gets to teach the children in the building and who gets to stay at home in their own safety while performing their duties, please keep this in mind. Regardless, teachers need to have the resources to effectively instruct their students, along with
041being protected so that they can continue teaching their students in an effective manner. Thank you. Those are all the individuals that signed up for call to the audience. So we are on item eight. Head start. Monthly report item A. Mr. Bullier. thank you madam chair members of the board um just a few items tonight uh one uh two items apart from my usual uh report uh as you all know uh our fiscal year runs from july to june um and i always point out at the beginning of head starts fiscal year that it is different it runs from april to may so what you're seeing is our first financial report our first uh budget report. So that's the reason for the zeros. The last date for this report ended on May 31st and that was
042our first fiscal year. So you can see we're in the month, we're a month in the rears when we report to you. And again, that is the reason for that disparity. Our in-kind report is due this month, our quarterly in-kind report. This is a requirement, a federal requirement, stating the in-kind contributions from New Hanover County to the Head Start program. And as you can see, that number from the school location came out to $37,173.38. That is the estimated value of the contribution from the county. to the Head Start program and there's no action needed on this. This is just for information. And one final piece, if you could pull up the quality improvement plan. As you may remember last month, I reported to you the findings of a federal monitoring review program, or I'm sorry,
043federal monitoring review of our Head Start program. And that plan necessitated, or that review rather, necessitated a quality improvement plan, which we have attached for the board to see. Sensitive to the hour and the rest of the meat on our agenda, I can turn it over to Ms. Smiles for any questions, but there is no action needed. This is just the steps that we are taking. to meet the concerns outlined by that federal review and if there are no other questions from the board that will conclude my monthly report questions great thank you madam chair thank you mr boyer item nine superintendent's report madam chair members of the board the information that i would share this evening has already been shared because our effort has been primarily around reopening activity so i will have no
044further report this evening Item 10, Board Chairperson's Report. I will not add to the words spoken tonight. Item 11, Committee Reports, Family Communications, and EDI. I believe, Ms. Adams, you are handling both of those? Yes, ma'am. keep these very brief the family communications committee is currently recruiting for two more members there is the application is live on the new hannifor county schools website if you can find it under the news section we are looking for two new parent members who to participate in every other month meetings and the feedback that you provide and the information shared is helping to drive communications between families and the school system especially moving into reopening plans this position is going to be incredibly important so for those that have already applied we appreciate it the application will be open
045through july 24th So please, for anyone else that's interested, please submit the application and we will take a look and contact those that we would like to bring onto the team. As far as an EDI committee report, the EDI committee continues to meet bi-monthly, excuse me, twice a month. And there's a lot of really great work going on right now. We have split up into multiple groups and we're tackling a lot of different issues across the district, whether it's about cultural community or smart goals around discipline, policy changes.

I am presenting that list to you this evening, but also sharing that because of the current impact of COVID-19, it may be that these field trips look significantly different for the 2020-21 school year. It may be that some of these trips are virtual. or that they are kit based or placed on a delayed schedule or a restricted schedule. At this time, we do not yet know exactly how these experiences will be delivered to our students, but we remain committed as a district to bring
052these valuable educational opportunity to our children. I would request approval of the board for the 2020-2021 board supported field trips. All right.

Alternative Schools Accountability Model for Lake Forest Academy, Career Readiness Academy at Mosley Performance Learning Center, and J.C. Rowe Center. Yes. The next item is the alternative schools accountability model for the schools that you just listed. State Board of Education policy requires that the alternative schools accountability model be approved annually by the local board of education. The state
053provides districts with three options, and New Hanover County Schools has selected option B. as we believe that most accurately reflects the progress of our students and the efforts of our staff. In this model, there are three metrics, one of which is student achievement, the other is growth, and then the final one is student persistence, which is measured by the number of students who remain in school and graduate. I request the board's approval. option B as the alternative school accountability model for Lake Forest Academy Career Readiness Academy at Mosley Performance Learning Center and JC Rhodes Center you heard the recommendation for the board to approve option B is there a motion move for approval of option B mr.

As required in general statute, I am presenting to the board the 2019-2020 school improvement attestations. This serves as documentation that schools within the district are in compliance with the composition of their school improvement teams and are meeting as required by the statute. Now, you may notice in reviewing some of the documentation, there might have been fewer meetings this year than in previous years, and of course we understand the conditions as to why that occurred. Even as such, I'm requesting that the board approve the
055school improvement team attestations for the 2019-2020 school year. All right, you've heard the recommendation. Is there a motion to approve the attestations? Move for approval. Mr. Bullard? Is there a second? Second. Judy Justice. Any discussion? Lisa Estep? Aye. David Wartman? Aye. Stephanie Adams? Aye. Nelson Beaulieu. Aye. Judy Justice. Aye. Jeanette Nichols. Aye. Bill Ravenberg. Aye. Motion passes 7-0. Item E, you're on a run, Dr. Smith. This one's a tough one. New Hanover County Schools Remote Learning Plan. Yes, thank you. This item will be presented by Ms. Brinson and myself. New Hanover County Schools, as a requirement of Senate Bill 704, has developed a detailed framework for delivering quality remote instruction to the students of the district. In addition, I'll also note at this point that the district has also, as a part and a requirement
056of Senate Bill 704, developed a summer learning plan that was submitted to the Department of Public Instruction. It did not have to go before the board, but I wanted to make sure that the board was aware in the event that you do have questions in regards to that. This work... speaking now about the remote learning plan, this work was informed by the following guiding principles. That it supports learning continuity. It provides access for all students. It connects with the community by engaging stakeholders. It's responsive and supportive to professional learning needs of all stakeholders to deliver and engage effective learning across all remote. learning environments. And then finally, that it fosters the social, emotional, and physical health needs of learners. And the development of this plan was led by representatives from the following areas. Pre-K, elementary,
057middle school, and high school principals. Pre-K, elementary, middle school, and high school teachers and or teacher assistants. Student Support Services leads, Instructional Services Content leads, Digital Teaching and Learning leads, Public Information Representatives, Special Education Department leads, Chief Financial Officer Designee, Professional Development lead, and then Human Resource leads. As a requirement, From Senate bill 704 there are 15 areas that must be addressed by the plan Miss Brinson and I will provide a brief overview of each The first area that had to be addressed was stakeholder engagement The district created a collaborative team and launched a stakeholder survey as a method to gather input The next area will be addressed by Miss Brinson The second area was in regards to professional development for our teachers. So we put together a plan to address how we'll provide the
058professional development for teachers on remote learning. We addressed the why, how, and what, as well as the learning management systems, designing the framework, and building the learning environment. This training will be implemented some this summer and at the work days at the beginning of the school year. We have two attachments and I think it might be more appropriate to display the other document as we move through. Another requirement of the plan was to define staff roles and expectations for remote learning. Educator and student commitment statements were written to provide clarity in this area. Ms. Brinson. Yes, the next area addresses how we will survey our families and teachers determine the access and device needs of our students and teachers so DPI has Provided us with a template that we are modifying that we will submit
059to the schools get to parents will provide paper copies as Well as online copies to collect this information Sorry, I got the next one too. The fifth area addresses that we've been working with community partners to provide a way for students to continue any online work while they're away from school. We'll do this through bleed through of Wi-Fi signals at schools and community buildings, free access provided from some vendors we're working through right now at other locations, as well as working with child care facilities and access there. So that way, when students are not in school and they're having to go to child care facilities, the schools will work with them to make sure, find out if there is access, so that's an option for parents as well. Additionally? The district had to quantify what
060effective design and delivery of remote instruction would look like. Here we defined what student opportunities would look like as well as learner behaviors. In this section we also shared possible schedules and descriptions pre-K through early college high school. And the next section addresses time for students to practice during face-to-face with using the learning management systems, turning in their work. So teachers will use the face-to-face time to teach and practice using the learning management systems that the districts have standardized on. So we have standardized on three systems, one for elementary, one for middle, one for high school. Teachers will utilize the LMS throughout the entire school year to make the transition between face-to-face and remote learning easier for the students. Also, as required, the district provided grade-appropriate work measurement guidelines by addressing grading and feedback for
061learning, as well as grading techniques. Additionally, the plan required that districts include how they would ensure equal access for students with disabilities. IEP teams and those collaborating to serve students with disabilities are tasked at every point in the process for determining service, keeping in the forefront the needs of the student, the individual needs of the student. To meet this requirement of the plan, the district referenced training that would be provided to staff, documentation of student learning, and use of service logs as justice tools the district would use to ensure equal access for students with disabilities. Ms. Prinsen? Okay, I messed up and went out of order, so we're going to go back up to number eight. Number eight addresses communicating learning targets during remote instruction. This will be accomplished through the learning management systems, teacher
062websites, and packets for take-home for students who will be doing remote instruction, not online. We have provided expectations for daily, weekly lesson plans and what they are to contain, expectations for district and school-based administrators. as well as teachers and how they will help monitor the remote instruction number 11 addresses how we will track attendance We will provide multiple options for students to be counted as present while trying to take into consideration the many different personal circumstances. So just because present doesn't mean that you were face to face when a teacher was doing a Zoom meeting. Present means that you got your work done. So there's going to be many options that they're going to be able to use where students aren't penalized for being absent. Teachers will also provide both online and offline contact options
063during remote instruction for students. All options will be shared with parents throughout the school year. We take into consideration that not everybody has access at home, so they need to have both online and offline. Just dial on the school phone during those days even, you know, we'll get somebody. We will also be providing technology support during remote learning. We did it in the spring and we will continue to do it in the fall. In technology, we have a help desk number that will be manned from 7.30 to 8 p.m. and we will add additional resources and change that time as we need it based on needs. The next requirement was not original to the legislation but was added later by the State Board of Education as it recognized the need to address AIG and English
064learners specifically within the plan. recognizing that students in each of these groups often have unique learning needs that may be challenging to adequately address in a remote learning environment. For our English learners, their levels of language proficiency will be considered in the design and delivery of their remote learning experience. And for our academically intellectually gifted students, general education teachers will be expected to follow their differentiated education plan and finally miss brinton and the last requirement that was added at a later time was asked for addressing the limitations that exist for implementing quality remote learning the one limitation that we have addressed is planning One limitation in playing for remote learning days is that the district faces not knowing right now the needs of her students in regards to devices and access. Once the home access
065survey is completed at the beginning of the year, we'll be better equipped to address this issue. I hope this presentation has been helpful. I know it's a lot of information. What you see on the screen right now were the deliverables that we articulated, and if you can scroll down just a little bit. Also, it talks about the composition of the committee along with the guiding principles. If you can go down just a little bit. And then at the very end, you see our timeline. We had a very aggressive timeline that we met. um teams met every week we had team leads and then we met as a full committee every week to make sure that we were able to put this plan in front of the board prior to the due date It is due
066to the State Board of Education by July 20th, but we wanted to provide it to our board for review as quickly as we could and definitely with enough lead time for you to ask any questions that you might have. I would say a major takeaway is that this is a very comprehensive plan, and we had many stakeholders. I would say I... I believe I had a Zoom that had an excess of 45 people who were part of just establishing the guiding principles. So we're happy to answer any questions that you may have. Dr. Smith, two things first. Thank you very much. I think there was a sentiment out there. You know remote learning days were like days off. They are not I think that this disabuses Anyone of that notion because this is a lot
067of work and I really appreciate the work that you put into this One question though what happens if after you submit this to the State Board of Education they say Go back and do more. No, this is a problem Well, if that were to occur, we would revise our plan to make sure that it is of the highest quality. It meets the expectations not only of the state board, but for this board and to ensure that our children are well prepared and that our teachers are well positioned to support our students. My professional belief is that that is not likely to occur I will say that we have worked very collaboratively along with the region and also with the large district consortium and sharing ideas And as we have all moved through this process as
068districts within the state and the work that New Hanover County Schools has done has been highly regarded Yes, sir any questions from the board What does I mean we've obviously come a long way from March when we walked out of schools you know this is definitely evidence of that what remains in all that you know the work that y'all have done and and everything that you've heard what remains the biggest hurdle for this that that you've heard the unknown I would say And definitely, Ms. Brinson, add to this, time is a hurdle. We do not want to overburden our staff. But we understand that there is a sense of urgency behind this because there are training pieces that come with this. And then also... We had some incredible learning opportunities come from remote learning, but
069there also were some challenges. And so I think there are places where we're going to have to rebuild the trust and help families to, again, see remote learning as a viable, high-quality learning opportunity for their students. But again, I think we are well-positioned to be able to do that. But definitely, I would see that as a challenge. challenge for us to overcome i mean the other piece is is the not knowing you know the devices and access i'll be to me access is a bigger challenge than devices and so um hopefully i better bring some good news to you guys um either friday or at a later date on access that will that will help but that is the other big challenge that we have to face thank you thank you both so no additional
070questions then i would ask the board's approval Move to approve the remote learning plan. Mr. Buller? Is there a second? Justice second. There's a motion and a second. Any additional discussion?

This partnership saves students and their families thousands of dollars in tuition and college costs. I would ask the

072required for students with complex medical needs as Identified and specified through their individualized education programs. Is there a motion to approve the contract as recommended? Mr. Bowler Second. Justice. Second. I do have a question. Are we still able to provide these services while we are remote? were we able to and how is that how is that has that impacted the contract at all right well it really all depends on how children are served in their home generally our students who are served with one-on-one nursing services in the school system also have one-to-one nursing services in their home settings and there are different funding sources for those generally Medicaid billing is not allowed or insurance billing is not allowed for school services that happen in the home or home services that happen in the school and

Budget resolution item J. Ms. Small. I submit for the board's approval the budget resolution for the 2021 year totaling $288,896,852. The resolution is summarized by purpose function for all funds and it includes estimated revenue for the state and federal planning allotments and for county appropriations was based on actual appropriation from the county for operating in Capital LA. Proposed budget does include a full-time equivalent of 3,620 positions, 681 of which are county funded. And subsequent to the board's approval, we will be publishing a budget book with the final budget. Hopefully we will have that in the next couple of weeks for your information. You have the recommendation.
076Is there a motion to approve the budget resolution? Move for approval, Mr. Boulder. Added. There's a motion and a second. Any discussion? I have an observation, Madam Chair, members of the board. We currently do not have a state budget, and it is anticipated that there will not be a state budget until sometime in the fall. We have been told that until the revenue projections are able to be calculated based on the first quarter of the fiscal year, that there will not be action by the General Assembly regarding a state budget. So it will be a while before you see something from the state. I would just like to thank the commissioners for their continued support and partnership but I do have one question. Four million dollars, 4.25 million dollars out of our fund balance. What
077does that leave us at? How much is left in our fund balance? I don't have the exact number because we're just closing out the year but we had we had to spin it down to like two and a half percent of our operating budget and we were building back closer to the board's goal as we get reimbursed from FEMA and insurance. We still have an outstanding FEMA payment of between $2 and $3 million. So we're restoring back to where we were. This will spend more than it would normally, I guess, grow in a year. But we just felt like this is a tight budget year and we have a lot of needs. And so it was determined to propose a little bit higher appropriation than we normally do. Thank you for your work. I know
078it's been a difficult budget year. And one other question from Ms. Maul, if you don't mind. This resolution is organized by purpose function. There is a requirement from the county that purpose function control, if you will, is at the county level. Could you briefly explain the impact that may have on changes to the budget going forward? any changes in purpose function of the county appropriation. We have given them the portion of the general fund that is county and which positions that is and which line items. And so if we make any changes above 10% between purpose function, we'll take county approval as well as your approval. We would be bringing amendments to you and then taking them to the county if we need to make changes more than those amounts. And that is within the
079statute, the county can approve to that level. But they had done it several years ago. I think at that time they had used 25%. But this is the most restrictive the county can be in terms of approval of the local appropriation. Thank you. Thank you. Any other discussion? I believe we have a motion and a second. Is that correct? All right. Please sit east of. Aye. David Wartman. Aye. Stephanie Adams. Aye. Nelson Bollier. Aye. Judy Justice. Aye. Jeanette Nichols. Aye. Bill Rivenbark. Aye. Motion passes 7-0. Thank you. Item K, bus driver recruitment incentive plan revision. Mr. Manzo and Mr. Anderson. Yes, good evening. Thank you. The item before you is a request for a revision in the current provision that's been provided by the board from August of 2018. This request has come to you
080dual purpose from HR as well as transportation. In August of 2018, the board created two dual positions, which is a bus driver and a teacher assistant at 15 elementary schools. Since its inception, there has been 100% turnover in those positions. And currently there's only five people in those positions as we speak. What has happened over the course of time is people have been hired as teacher assistants. And when the time came for them to go for their bus driver certification, people either transferred to a straight teaching assistant position at another school or they left the district. So what has happened is that there is a void of teacher assistants being filled for straight teacher assistants in these schools. There's an equity position. In addition to that, there's a certification issue because there is a backlog.
081of teacher assistants getting into the bus driver class at the state level. There's currently a six to 12 month wait to get into the classes. So the recommendation that we bring before you is that the mandated dual position TA bus driver positions be converted to teacher assistant only. That will allow all the principals to hire qualified teacher assistants to fill the positions without the extra requirement of also driving a bus. anybody that is currently in that dual role will be given an option to continue to drive a bus and if they do then they would be paid the current bus driver beginning rate for the time of their day that they do drive the bus we are at that will also ease some of the burden that the state has with their DMV classes and
082motor vehicle certification. The recommendations that we have is to change that. There's also the second part of the recommendation is to implement a bus driver referral program. And further down in the provision, what it talks about is effective July 1st, 2020. Any current employee who recommends a person to drive a yellow bus. and that person drives the yellow bus for 20 hours or more a week, and they're in good standing for 90 days, then that person who refers them will be paid $1,000. And on the other side of the coin, anybody who is hired as of July 1st, 2020 to become a bus driver, yellow bus driver, at the end of 90 days, if they've driven 90... uh 20 hours a week are in good standing i'm sorry 120 days and they remain in good
083standing they will be paid a additional they will be paid a bonus as well for their time as a bus driver an additional thousand dollars the fiscal implications would to the district would be uh in the area of no more than twenty thousand dollars that's assuming that there be um 10 bus drivers that would be hired as well as 10 recommended people. It is the recommendation for the next action steps that the board would approve the changes to the bus driver teacher assistance school position plan and implement the bus driver referral and direct bonus pay as presented. give anything to add anything to add ms manzo did a great job thank you very much the only thing i would say is with the bus driver referral and direct bonus program we did talk with bus
084drivers and get their input in this plan is something that we've been developing over quite a few months but we wanted to wait and implement that not during a school year but over the summer so this is the perfect time all right what members you've heard the recommendation um is there a motion to approve the changes to the bus driver teach ta plan move to approve sorry and implement the referral and direct bonus program do approve mr moore is there a second duty justice Any discussion? Lisa Estep? Aye. David Wortman? Aye. Stephanie Adams? Aye. Nelson Bollier? Aye. Judy Justice? Aye. Jeanette Nichols? Aye. Bill Rivenbark? Motion passes 7-0. Thank you, Mr. Manzo. Thank you, Mr. Anderson. Thank you. Item 15, correspondence. Does any board member have any correspondence they wish to share? Item 16, announcements.
085Policy Committee will be meeting on Tuesday, July 14th at 9 a.m. at the Board of Ed Center. The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee will meet on Monday, July 20th at 5 p.m. at the Board of Ed Center. The next regular Board of Education meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, August 4th. I'm assuming at 530. We don't have that listed. And are we announcing the meeting for this Friday? Yes, please. Okay. We have a, is it a special meeting or an interim meeting? Interim meeting. We have an interim meeting scheduled of the Board of Education this Friday at 9 a.m. here at the Board of Education Center. That would be that you're stuck or all right. Are there any other meetings I'm missing to announce attendance at all those meetings will also be limited to no more
086than 10 people as recommended by the CDC. We do not need a closed session. So at this time I will definitely entertain a motion to adjourn. But I will definitely offer that motion madam chair, all right is there a second. I would love to second it. There's a motion and a second. Lisa Estep. Aye. David Wortman. Aye. Stephanie Adams.
