004delegation from Cross High School led by Principal Tiffany Brown. They are representing Cross High School selection as a South Carolina blue ribbon school. [applause] The Blue Ribbon Schools program highlights private and public schools. nationally that demonstrate a high level of student performance or significant improvements in closing achievement gaps. Originally facilitated by the US Department of Education, the program has been recognizing schools that embody excellence in education for the past 40 years. This year, the administration of the program was moved to the state level, and the Trojans were recognized by South Carolina Superintendent of Education, Ellen Weaver, and Governor Henry McMaster at the South Carolina State House earlier this month for exemplary achievement gap closing. Cross High School was one of six schools in the state selected as a South Carolina Blue Ribbon School. Congratulations to
005our Trojans on this amazing accomplishment. [applause] >> [applause] [applause] [snorts] >> Y'all want to bring it in? That looks good right here. One, two, three. >> Go Trojans. [applause] >> All right. All right. And next up, we have our Philip Simmons High State Title 2A Girls Volleyball Champions. [applause] The Iron Horses faced off against Landram High and did a clean sweep of the competition, winning the first three sets at the state title game. This is Berkeley County School District's first girls volleyball state championship win since 1987. Congratulations to the Iron Horses. [applause] Get the front row a little bit. >> All right, first row. Slide this way. >> There you go. All right. One, two, three. [applause] >> I'll be relatively brief. >> Um, good evening. Thank you for recognizing our team. Um, I'll just
006let you know that when I'm proud of people, I get a little emotional. And when I talk about my team, I get even more emotional. So, just bear with me. Um, we try to do excellence in everything we do. I'm going to tell you about our accomplishments in a second, but in the classroom, 4.63 GPA because they know that in the classroom's the key to in life. Um, in the weight room, our last two strength coaches have said we're the best team that they like to work with. But the thing that we're most proud of is the way that they come together as a team. The team bonding that they have is second to none. But if you'll indulge me for one minute, I um I want to list their accomplishments. Uh we won 38
007matches this year and only lost five. In the 43 matches we played, we beat 23 teams that were ranked in the top 100 in the state. We beat the number 11 team out of Florida and the number two team out of West Virginia. There are 300 volleyball teams in South Carolina and we finished number seven regardless of classification. [applause] We had six all region players, the region player of the year. We I didn't know this until today. We actually have three allstate players and there's a total of 18 of those. Two players are playing this weekend in the North South All-Star game. Um we have our first ever division one commitment. Sophia Feni is going to Presbyterian. All right. We won the region for the sixth year in a row and have not lost a
008match in the region since 2019. And we made the final four in our classification five of the last six years. And as you heard, the first team since 1987 in Berkeley County to bring home a championship. And I I think I can sum our season up like this. Last Sunday, Coach Sablotsky sends me a text message and it reads, "I am generally having a hard time with the fact that we don't have practice tomorrow. I'm sad." And her husband said, "But you get to come home to hurt your family." And she responded, "Eh." Right? So, this is the impact they had on both of us. And lastly, an athletic journey is full of beautiful moments, but it can be a difficult road as well. People tell you you aren't good. That, as your record says,
009they question decisions by coaches and athletes. their self-doubt, their sleepless nights in pursuit of something special. And for the board members, I imagine that leading a school district is very similar. Decisions are criticized, motives, questions, and so on. But I think you do your job the same reason why we coach is because you care about young people. So today, we want to say thank you for what you do and for leading our school district and allowing us to participate in the game we love. And so we have a gift for each of you. Hopefully, it's at your table. Thank you very much. [applause] >> [applause] >> Thank you all so much. That concludes this session and congratulations to our Trojans and our Iron Horses. the same place. >> My heart for two sizes today. >>
010Who knew? >> Oh, there it is. >> I'm sorry. at the game on Friday. >> Citadel, [snorts] >> I [clears throat] heard about that as well. >> Next on the agenda, we have citizen comments. In order to conduct the meeting in an orderly and efficient manner, we ask that you honor the following guidelines. Stakeholder comments are welcomed and encouraged. However, the board will not take immediate action on public comments at this meeting. Any person wishing to address the board must register prior to the meeting. Comments must be regarding programs, policies, or procedures. Comments regarding complaints against employees other than district level executives or references to students other than the child of the speaker will not be heard in public session. Groups addressing the same topic should select one speaker. Comments will be limited to three
011minutes per speaker. The board chair reserves the right to allocate additional time or halt public comments that do not adhere to these guidelines. Tonight we have eight speakers signed up. [clears throat] Our first speaker will be Adam Ericson. Good evening, members of the board and administration. I do want to start by thanking you for your time and your effort that you put into making our decisions for our school community. Uh it does not go unnoticed and it is appreciated. Um I truly appreciate the opportunity to share a few thoughts about the recent removal of our school resource officer at Howal Ames, um Officer Booty, and I have nothing but good things to say about her. First, I want to emphasize how universally positive the feedback has been about officer Booty. Since the news of her
012departure, I've heard nothing but heartfelt stories from parents, from students, and from staff about how much of a difference she has made. She truly went out of her way to connect with students and to be a positive presence. In fact, it's clear from the feedback of so many kids and adults that her presence brought them a lot of comfort and peace, especially the students that we've spoken with. I also want to note that officer Moody was commuting quite a long distance every day to work, which shows just how dedicated she was. When I heard the commute she had, I'm not going to say where she lived, but when I heard the commute that she had, I was incredibly impressed. I'm like, I would not drive that far for that job. And she would show up
013early in the morning for this. She always showed up with a great attitude and went well above and beyond for our kids. To share a personal moment from last Friday, which was her final day at the school. Fridays are usually a day everyone looks forward to. I'm sure all of you do. I know I do. And I love what I do for a job. But it's Friday. Um, it doesn't matter who you are. But when I pulled up to pick up my kids, I heard children literally weeping at what was happening during that day being her last day. Um my own kids got in the car in tears because they knew it was the last time they'd see Officer Moody at school. It turned what's usually a joyful day into a sad one. And that
014just shows how much she meant and continues to mean to these kids. I share all this respectfully to ask the board to consider the strong support officer Moody had in the school and to potentially rethink the decision for her to be reassigned. Thank you so much for listening and once again, thank you so much for all you do for our schools. >> Thank you. >> Next, we have Miss Zelda Ecker. Hi, my name is Zelda Ericson and I'm a fifth grader at How Hall Ames. Whenever I would see Officer Moody, I knew that she loved the students and that she did everything to protect and keep us safe. Many of the students students had special connections with her and it was not logical to remove the connections and trust we had in her. We are
015learning to feel safe with officers and authorities, which the students did feel around officer Moody. But when you take that away and we must start all over again, we learn otherwise. I never heard a single person say any bad or negative things about officer Moody and she made everyone feel safe. Instead of moving her an officer who is a very special and unique connections with students, move an officer who is not already at a school. That way every student gets either to keep trusting connections or create trusting connections. Officer Moody is a great person that I want to keep both her and everything about her in our school. Thank you for your time and thank you for serving our school district the way that you do. >> Thank you. >> [applause] [laughter] >> She is
016a good speaker. >> Next we have Miss Sarah Callie. >> Good evening. My name is Sarah Khil and I am here as a member of the BCEA to represent teachers in Berkeley County schools. I want to speak plainly tonight because teachers in this district have had enough. Across our schools, especially in elementary classrooms, kids are telling their parents they love their teachers, but they don't love school. That should break everyone's heart in this room. School used to be joyful, a place where lessons came alive through stories, projects, and creativity. Now learning has become mechanical, not meaningful. The pacing guides are suffocating. There's no room for seasonal activities, creative projects, or anything that makes kids want to learn. Teachers have been told repeatedly that if it's not in the district approved curriculum, I Ready, HMH, the
017instructional hub, they can't use it. No outside resources, no adaptations, no creativity. As a parent, I am appalled. My child is not just a number in a data set. He deserves to be taught exactly like what he is, a child. As one teacher put it, "We're teaching from manuals all day long. The district is sucking the joy out of everything." The district's message to teachers has been clear. You are not curriculum writers. Follow the script. That's insulting. Teachers are trained professionals, not robots reading from a manual. Just five years ago, teachers were writing the curriculum and textbooks were simply a resource. Now, people walk into classrooms to check if they're sticking to the script, even rifling through papers on teacher desks to be sure nothing unauthorized is being used. As one teacher described, "I definitely
018feel the guilt of what if someone walks in and I'm caught doing the wrong thing? It's straight hell. That's not support. That's intimidation. Let me be clear. Teachers are not against structure or accountability. They understand the need for consistency. But as one educator said, curriculum should be standardized by PLC, where data is shared for what's working, what isn't, and where cohorts of students stand. That's real collaboration, not top- down micromanagement from district staff long removed from the classroom. There's a difference between alignment and control. What's happening now is control, and it's killing morale, engagement, and learning. Behavior problems are up, student motivation is down. Teachers are exhausted, not because they don't care, but because they care too much. And they're being forced to teach in ways they know don't work. You hired teachers for their
019expertise. You trusted them once. It's time to do that again. Let them teach. Let them use their professional judgment. You do not know their students best. You do not know them at all. When teachers are treated like professionals, students thrive. When they're treated like robots, we all lose. Thank you. >> Thank you. [applause] >> Next we have Miss Amanda Heel. [clears throat] >> Good evening. I'm here today to express serious concerns regarding the district's current special education staffing and compliance practices. At this time, there are special education classrooms across our district being staffed by non-certified substitute teachers. These classrooms serve students with individ individualized education programs or IEPs and those students are legally entitled to a specially designed instruction delivered by a certified special education teacher. The district has been aware of certain vacant special
020education positions since before August. Despite this, students from those classrooms are now without a qualified teacher and are being reassigned to the case loads of certified teachers already serving at capacity. These case load changes occurred without consultation, without instructional materials, and without any progress monitoring data. This practice raises serious compliance concerns under both federal and state law. Specially designed instruction must be provided by an appropriately certified special education teacher. The case manager of record bears legal responsibility for ensuring the full implementation of each student's IEP, including the provision of services, the collection of progress data, and the monitoring of goals. PAR professionals and non-certified substitutes may only deliver instruction under the direct supervision of a certified teacher who is physically present and actively overseeing instruction. At this time, that level of supervision and instructional integrity
021is not possible. This situation is not sustainable, nor is it compliant with the federal requirements or state certification standards. Assigning uncertified staff to provide specialized instruction while placing legal accountability on already overburdened certified teachers exposes the district to significant legal and ethical risk. We cannot be expected to meet our professional and legal obligations while assuming responsibility for additional classrooms staffed by non-certified personnel, particularly without any additional compensation, planning time, or support. It is imperative that the district take immediate action to ensure that all students with IEPs receive instruction and services from qualified special education teachers as required by law and that certified staff are supported in carrying out their duties without exceeding reasonable workload expectations. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your commitment to ensuring compliance, equity, and quality instruction for
022every student in our district. As an advocate for teachers and students, and as a concerned parent, I read this statement from a current special education teacher who wishes to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation from the district or school administration. Thank you. >> Thank you. [applause] >> Next, we have Jonathan Tutor. Good good evening members of the board. My name is Jonathan Tutor. I'm a resident of Fairmont South, a community so small I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't familiar with it. Uh I believe the board is workshopping the attendance lines after tonight's meeting. Uh so I just wanted to provide you with a few details of our community. Um, I want to start by saying that I know the board has an impossible task uh with with reszoning schools, redrawing attendance lines. Um, no
023one's going to be happy if they get reszoned. Um, and I get that. It's a legitimate problem that needs to be addressed. Um, and you know, overcrowding is a is a problem and we have to do something about it, but I don't think our neighborhood's going to make a difference one way or another. Um, Fairmont South is off of Cypress Gardens Road. We're near the Publix. Uh, we're across the street from Cypress Preserve and around the corner from Spring Grove. Our neighborhood only has about 203 houses. I couldn't find any information online how many students we have at Foxbank Elementary. Um but on average it's about 39 students per 100 households. Uh that would give us about 79 uh K12 students. Uh about 36.5 of those would be K5 the grades at Foxbank. Um so
024that means that we're contributing less than one student per class at the school. Um our neighborhood's also fully developed. We're not under construction. We're not building. It's a complete neighborhood. We're not going to be a growing problem for the school. Um, reszoning our neighborhood will not have a significant impact on the school, less than one student per class, but it will have a significant impact on our students, on our children. Um, just wanted to let you know who we were and that uh we're hoping that you can keep us in mind while y'all are working through tonight's workshop. >> Thank you. Next we have Yulana Alcon. >> No, they will go right. >> Hi guys. So I have been coming every week and I probably sound like a broken record but I'm going to keep
025coming. So my name is Juliana Alcon. I am representing um moms from Howal Ames and our concerns. And in this case, I'm speaking about climate because it's still a problem. So, good evening and thank you for taking the time to listen to the concerns that we've shared about our school's climate. I appreciate the efforts you've made to come into the building, sit in during lessons, and speak with staff. Unfortunately, what you guys have done or tried to do is not enough. I've been told that some of these conversations with teachers have been happening in front of our principal, which is why we're here. I want to be very clear. Asking a teacher to speak honestly about their administrator while that administrator is standing right there next to them is not safe or fair or a
026fair environment. It's like truly asking a woman if [clears throat] she's being battered or if she's safe in her home with the abuser standing right next to her. because that's what it's become in our school. It's abuse. No one is going to risk their job or their peace by speaking openly in that moment. Teachers are afraid. And that fear alone should tell you something. We are hearing consistent reports about the yelling, intimidation, and unprofessional behavior. That is unacceptable. [clears throat] No teacher should be expected to work in fear of being screamed at. This is a form of workplace abuse and it is taking a real toll. I'm asking the board to please consider a different approach. Can teachers be spoken to privately? Can the district conduct a climate survey that is administered and collected directly
027by you, not by the building administration with full anonymity guaranteed. It is the only way that you guys are going to get the truth. Recently, I met a teacher from another Berkeley County school. When I mentioned my daughter attended Ames, I was so proud to tell her, and her reaction was immediate. She asked me if I plan to pull her out next year. She explained that the that the school's reputation in conversation with other teachers is declining rapidly within the teacher community. Teachers talk. Group chats are flooded right now with concerns about the way staff at Ames are being treated. This teacher said, "Based on what is being shared, Ames better prepare because they're on track to face one of the largest teacher exoduses in the district. If the current principal remains, we cannot afford
028to lose any more great educators because of one person. We have already lost valuable administrators, teachers, support staff, and now our beloved SRO. Officer Moody was committed to our children and our community. her depart her departure should be a major red flag. So, I'm here to ask one more needs to happen before the district intervenes. What are the concrete next steps? I sincerely hope that this can be addressed within the district, but please understand if it is necessary, we are going to take our concerns to the state level. We are not going to let this go. Our teachers and our children deserve much better and we're going to continue fighting for them. Thank you. >> Thank you. Next we have Kayla Bale. Um, good evening. I wanted to begin by acknowledging that I understand there
029are many factors and considerations that go into decisions made behind the scenes. I recognize that zoning and capacity planning are complex issues and I appreciate the time and effort that goes into those discussions. That said, the decisions being proposed have a very real personal impact on the families who live in the communities affected by these zoning changes. I currently live in one of the neighborhoods being zoned from Fox Bank to Whitesville and I'm struggling to understand the reasoning behind reszoning a small portion of our established community along with some others to Whitesville Elementary. Many of us moved into these neighborhoods with the understanding and expectation that our children would attend Foxbank Elementary. If the primary goal is to truly relieve overcrowding at Foxbank, I respectfully question why the proposed map targets smaller established neighborhoods rather
030than larger expanding ones that will continue to grow and add more students over time at a much faster rate. It doesn't seem logical to reszone stable communities instead of those projected to significantly increase enrollment in the near future. Why make changes that directly impact current families in preparation for families who may move here later? Wouldn't it make more sense to address future growth by reasonzoning areas that are still developing? I want to be clear that this is not a criticism of Whitesville Elementary. I've spoken with the principal there who was kind, respectful, and even offered to give us a tour. I was told that while both schools use the same curriculum, Whitesville is a title one school and that the test scores may reflect the student population not as much as the teaching. While I
031completely understand and respect that every school has its own unique challenges and strengths, as a parent, I want my child to be in an environment where an academic excellence is a shared priority expectation among students and families alike. In closing, I urge the board to reconsider the impact this proposed zoning change will have on the families and children who are already a part of the Foxman community. Please take into account not only logistics, but also the relationship, stability, and expectations that families have built their lives around. Thank you for your time and consideration tonight. >> Thank you. >> Next, we have Lindsay Dragel. What number is this? >> Eight. [clears throat] I'm short. >> Thank you for the opportunity to speak. There is a growing number of concerned parents and teachers because there is a
032serious issue affecting our schools. Many teachers have raised concerns privately because they are afraid to say things publicly. They are experiencing increasing pressure tied directly to a certain group's activity in this district. The impacts are concrete. There are book challenges with no basis in state standards, attempts to limit factual historical content, and push back against age appropriate lessons that are part of the required required curriculum. Teachers are also reporting that the growing emphasis on district required formative assessments is forcing them to teach toward tests rather than engage students in meaningful content. Several has said that this rigid testdriven approach is draining creativity and reducing the quality of instruction. They are also seeing access to important classroom resources restricted or removed. This is making it harder for them to give students what they need. These pressures
033are not coming from educational professionals. They are coming from an activist agenda that has entered our district through policy discussions, curriculum oversight, and community channels. That agenda is creating a climate of fear and uncertainty in our classrooms. Several teachers have said they are considering resigning because of this environment. If we ignore this, we will face a teacher shortage that directly harms our students. This is not about politics. It is about protecting our schools from the influence of an outside organization whose tactics nationally and locally include coordinated book removals, intimidation of educators, pressure to strip resources from classrooms, and demands that push instruction away from evidence-based teaching toward ideology. These tactics are well documented. They destabilize school districts and drive experienced teachers out of the profession. I also want to remind the board respectfully and firmly
034that your legal obligations are clear. You are required to uphold state curriculum standards to provide a safe and stable working environment for teachers and ensure that policy decisions are grounded in education and student need. When an outside organization influences curriculum decisions, classroom resources, or teacher conduct, it raises serious concern about whether those obligations are being met. If this district begins adopting [clears throat] or enforcing policies that reflect activists agendas rather than establish educational law, the community has formal avenues of oversight. That includes filing complaints, requesting state level review, and pursuing any remedies available to ensure that the district remains aligned with legal and instructional standards. This is a reminder of the safeguards that exist to protect public education from ideological interference. Teachers do not feel safe speaking up, so I'm speaking for them. They deserve
035a district that trusts their professional expertise, supports their ability to teach meaningful content, provides resources they need, and shields classroom from activist pressure. I'm asking the board to take this seriously, acknowledge the harm this agenda is causing, draw clear boundaries between public education and outside activism, and protect our teachers so they can focus on what matters, giving our children the education they deserve. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> [applause] >> Okay, that is all of our public speakers for today. Next is the superintendence report. Dr. Dixon, you are recognized. Thank you, Mr. Ramsey. I would like to begin by recognizing and thanking our teacher forum representatives for their support um this evening. So, Miss Alex Wharton from Berkeley High School and Danielle Stewart from Sedgefield Middle. Uh we thank you for being here and also
036see Miss Tanya Hansen in the crowd too. I also want to congratulate the students and staff who participated in the Berkeley County School District's theater showcase clinic. This marks the year the third year of the event and for the first time we added a competition component. 10 district theater programs participated and I'm proud to share the following results from November 12th. um from H Bonner Elementary, one group piece and it was a superior from how Hall Ames two monologues, two duets and two group pieces. So they earned five superiors. Marington Middle School of the Arts, one group piece, and they earn an excellent.

Let's give those students and schools and teachers a round of applause. [applause] Congratulations um to you all. We're so very proud. I'm also excited to share that 121 high school students were selected for the Berkeley County School District All County Chorus. These talented singers performed this past Saturday at Berkeley High. Out of 189 high school students who auditioned, 51 were selected for SSA group and 70 for the SATPB group. So, congratulations again to our high schools. [applause] As fall athletics wind down, we wish good
038luck to all of our football teams and students um that are still competing in the state championship playoffs. We have four um teams still in the state championship playoffs and so we have four home games here in Berkeley County. So if you want to see some um exciting football uh you can enjoy Philip Simmons High, Stratford High, Cross High, and there's one more, Berkeley High. Um all at home this um Friday. So hats off and good luck. I think I see the coach from Crossey. Do I see you out there? It looks like I'm Doppler. As um finally, a reminder that schools will be closed from night um from November 24th through the 28th for fall break. And I'm wishing everyone a happy and safe um fall break and Thanksgiving.
