001I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Uh I had told y'all this was just going to be personnel, but I do need you to approve an invoice for Apogee. It is uh $9,355.11. Apogee manages our website website and it gives us Thrillshare where we uh it connects to Facebook and like these welcome memes that Erica has crafted for the new people. And also, I've got Thrillshare set up so that nothing can be posted on our district Facebook page unless I approve it. I wanted to cut down everybody posting whatever they wanted to and we've also cut down on the public comments because unfortunately, you just get comments that are unnecessary.
002So, I would recommend that we pay the Apogee bill. >> I hear a motion. >> Make a motion. >> Mr. Cobb, do I hear a second? >> I. >> Mr. Cobb, Chief. >> All right. >> All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed? >> So moved. >> I would like to request an executive session to discuss personnel. >> 6:04. >> Okay. >> Before we get on started and everything, I've I've kind of like a deer in headlights sitting in there saying a lot of things, but I just I want to thank Jim for the good job he did and for Jim and Scott for staying on and helping us with experience and and everything. And then also to welcome Dwight on the team. >> I I second that. >> I I do want
003to mention that I I was going to do it the last meeting and I just say I kind of got caught up in trying to follow all the other stuff that I'm supposed to do, but uh thank y'all. >> I think I'm just going to do all of these as my gift. Okay. I I make the recommendation that we hire the following certified personnel. Tamonica Sanders, a 220-day contract as high school counselor with the e-school stipends. Brandon Brockman on a 220-day contract to teach high school science and assistant football and assistant boys basketball coach. Mark Keys Jackson with who is our AD and our head football coach. Uh I would like to recommend that he be given the dean stipend and he will act as high school dean. And I recommend that we hire Toronica
004Brown as East facilitator and head girls basketball coach and that is a 220-day contract. Those are the certified personnel. >> Okay. I hear a motion to approve that. >> Make a motion. >> Second. >> Mr. Jones and Mr. Given, Mr. Turner second it. All those in favor say I. >> I. >> Opposed? Seven no. >> I would recommend that we hire the following classified personnel. Shelby Zimmerman as custodian on a 240-day contract for the 26-27 school year and for the remainder of the 25-26 school year. And I need to amend Miss Angela Jordan. I did not specify that we were hiring her for the remainder of the 25-26 school year and on a 240-day contract for the 26-27 school year. So, I would make those recommendations for classified personnel. >> The custodians work year around?
005>> Well, you do a lot of the custodial work around the school in the summers, the floors and the deep cleaning and that kind of stuff that you can't do. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Uh >> When we pulled all that tile up, it saved mountains of work. I mean, you always had to move every desk out of every single room, all the furniture, strip, wax, and clean the walls, and put it out. We don't do that now. >> And sometimes when we don't have them working in the summer, we lose them because they need the 12-month work. And it's hard enough to find them and hard enough to keep them. Lord, with paras and custodians, it's just been a revolving door this year. I can't keep up with who's currently here. Uh but yeah, they're
006all on 240. >> That's the thing, they can deep clean this time of year when they really can't do it during the school year. >> Yeah. >> Okay, I'm that girls basketball coach. Who did you say it was? >> Carla Bolden is the head coach and uh Let me look at my staff here. And uh what at a previous board meeting, the board hired a lady named Valerie Benton to be the assistant girls basketball coach. So, it's Carla Bolden and Valerie Benton. >> Make a motion. Make a motion. >> Mr. Tyus made motion. I hear a second. >> Second. >> I hear a second and all those in favor say "Aye." >> Aye. >> Opposed? Seven no. >> Motion to adjourn. >> Mr. Tyus made a motion. Mr. James C. Second. All those in favor
007should stand up. >> [laughter] >> You like me, huh? >> Thank y'all.
