008a lot of good Hornets right there the chair recognizes Dr Daniel Crockett to update us on his area okay thank you um since our last meeting there's there's a lot going on since our since our last meeting and I I know that we we shared our mission statement with with with you and our community and we're still in the process of of pushing that out to our our staff and faculties I met with where scholes middle just last week week and have U meetings with the primary school and the high school the week that we come back I'm just extremely optimistic about the direction that we're going and truly believe that mission of a a commitment to Excellence in all that we do and so um we are we have just completed our 135th day

009of school okay that means we are now into the final quarter our our seniors have about 45 days uh before graduation instructional days before graduation we can kind of consider this now uh a time of our year where it's it it's it's kind of it's kind of um the playoff season for us every moment counts our Focus now starts to shift into end of year assessments um into making sure kids have seat time hours like we had today many kids had showed up at the high school to to try to catch up on on seat time hours and and missing homework and missing assignments that are needed to turn in and that that takes some dedicated folks um to be able to to keep up with that and to manage that we appreciate our our

010administrators for for overseeing that and for the teachers who help out with that and so we're now into that that that season of really focusing on skills and preparation and focus and how we approach our assessments and and so that's kind of our transition that we have for these next 45 days of school but we have some incredible talent in our district and I wanted to kind of bring attention to this here just recently even since last month we have uh the district 51 teachers of the year were recognized by the Greenwood Rotary Club and so that took place I think it was last week and what a special what a special time for those teachers to be recognized for their talents and that was that was wonderful we had uh Dr Tony Sher he

011was selected to the national uh teacher policy cabinet with uh teach plus and this is a picture of him in Washington DC representing uh South Carolina teachers and especially where school district and Blake Bishop uh P State Teachers Association board of directors is which I I recently just had had had heard and so just lots of great talent in our district representing our students our community in in our community at our state level and even even at the national level and so there's a lot to be proud of um in our district I want to share with you just some facility um Improvement you can see that we have a a new roof that took place or that was actually installed um probably maybe about a week ago they came in they were here and

012they were gone and I think it was last a week ago Friday that they were they were here and uh replaced that and of course that had some damage that had taken place from the hurricane uh we did have an insurance uh claim that was put out on that and that was um uh that was completed and and finished and and I just just to kind of tell you a little a little background on that I had uh anticipated that they would come in on Saturday and um and and so there wouldn't be any noise during the school day but they came a day early it was Friday and so I I came down to the to the library to to see Miss Bray and I said Miss Bray I'm I'm sorry they're here a

013day early I know and she could hardly hear me with all the banging you know on the roof but but she just simply went ahead and said said you know what this is a great day I'm super super glad to get it done I don't have to put a couple trash cans out to catch some some water that was coming in when it rained and she was she was delighted with that and so uh we're glad to have that uh job completed um of course the softball lights since we had talked last time uh they are they got fired up and they look they look fantastic the field looks great and so that project has been done you can notice that in your board packet under the finance tab that that um that project has

014has even been paid and so that's so we're we're to the good there and that that's all all done and taken care of and and we loved celebrating uh celebrating that event with with the staff kickoff I love and that was that was a lot of fun and I I love this picture because it's it's our our teachers are are are are cheering for each other they're happy um I just love that snapshot in time where we can say you know as a as a a staff we are are definitely not athletes but boy way we we know how to have fun and uh and that was that was great I really enjoyed it it was a it was a great time a great time but you were the ringer we'll moving on next next

015slide next slide all right um now I also want to let you know that I we appreciate the board approving um uh being able to enter into an architectural agreement with uh to to to explore that for a refresh for WS High School um and also um a refresh uh associated with were schs middle school and so we did this past month have uh work with Craig gold and Davis out of Greenville uh they had they had came not only did we secure that but we also they also visited our school they took uh photos they they did some measurements and so I I reached out to Scott Powell there I think it's their president uh this uh this morning and he replied we had a great response rate and he said we're looking to

016have trying to have everything wrapped up by the end of this month and so hopefully hopefully I can share those those drawings with you what their vision of uh of of our school extremely traditional honoring our our our past uh but just just sprucing it up a little bit and I'm excited to see what what what those creative minds can can come up with um and I also want to I know Jason Vincent's here but congratulations to Jason Vincent for selection to the were School District School Board um and that was uh certified at to receive a notification from from the county about that certification and so we're we're thrilled to have him thank you for being here as well uh so you can be able to hit the ground running uh when that when

017that time comes so um I apprec appreciate it very much and congratulations absolutely that that concludes um the superintendent's update I'll be glad to answer any questions about the materials that was presented or any anything else at that time thank you sir thank you thank you Dr abolutely the board now would like to recognize Miss Janine web to present board approved courses at the W High WS Middle School for the 255 26 Academic Year good evening good evening for the upcoming um school year we have three courses that we would like for the board to approve first will be our journalism yearbook class it will be taught by Miss Katy pulley and it focuses on grade seventh and eth the journalism yearbook is creative writing and production course pretty much everything that you see around

018our school posters digital media is designed by our kids um you give them the topic and they can pretty much spit it out um and they do very high qual good quality work for Middle School very part work um for middle schools they will be working with um interviewing TV and digital production they produce our news show in the morning they also work on the yearbook at the end of the year so throughout the year um they spend days on collecting pictures um and designing the yearbook to be published at the end of the year this course they they meet every day these these students meet every day and they will meet all year so it's a year course that meets every day that's great our robotics our teacher right now is um to be

019determined grades five and six participate this as a class we also offer it after school but this right here is during the school day um it is engineering and computer-based science class the foundation is coding they learn the basics of coding they create their own robots and they program and design they're given a task and they have to complete complete the task and some of you visited before if you had it's remarkable to see um the robots has to do certain things and do certain acts um but they do that during the class day it also one of the biggest things that encourages is critical thinking and working as a team because every little piece has to work um and that's one of the strong strengths of that class is collaboration our third course will

020be our Su stain science technology engineering art Math Miss Susan Timberman be teaching that course and this targeted are gifted and talented students in grades 5 through 8 this is also a science inquiry critical thinking course these students are challenged using problem problem solving skills and they connect those problem solving skills with real world Solutions it is handsone they do problem Sol problem solving based learning and they also create and they create situations that have to be solved um each each unit she has she presents them with a problem and they have to use science technology engineering art and math to resolve that solution so it can be a real life problem like designing an Amphitheater or finding a need in the community and they say one of the kids said we need an Ampitheater

021so they would for the school so they design one they show how to created and everything and all the science and math that goes and Engineering that goes into that so it's big based Hands-On projects this they also have a connection she has a partnership with the governor schools in the state she's found so they come to visit us um and do handsone activities with our steam students she's also worked really hard to build this program and form Partnerships with the different um national forest and parts community and they've had um Zoom meetings with people um from the different parts Community within the class um bringing the real world into the classroom so this really increases ad depth of knowledge of our state standards right this class are there any questions of those three courses

022that we're asking sounds wonderful are they mandatory or is it just they can take them if they want or how does that these are electives okay now the steam they have to qualify yeah get the but the first two they can take it sign take it they I got you thank you how often would the robotics meet would it be they this year they met twice a week twice a week okay they twice a week thank you m we thank you thank you next on our agenda we will take um we'll begin action items but I'd first like to recognize Mr Darren rice to present book recommendations okay I appreciate the opportunity um just wanted to discuss with you the uh the textbooks real quick to see if you had any questions um about three

023years ago the state department decided or they started the process of updating in in um looking at the math standards and they put together a committee of Math teachers from all over the state um a friend of mine who's actually principal in in Greenwood now he was on that committee um and they met several times throughout the year to come up with new math standards um not only did they do math standards but they also did a a relooked at the progression of math especially at the high school um K through 8 nothing really changed there but when you get to the high school they decided to make a few changes um with the sequence of courses and then um just some of the names of courses as well so I wanted to kind of

024give you just a brief overview of that so in case you had any questions um the the biggest change is they flip-flopped algebra and geometry so ninth grade students will now take geometry that makes sense instead of algebra one yes um if your honors middle school instead of algebra one in the Middle School they'll take it they'll take geometry um as as the honors Math course and then they'll take algebra one in their ninth grade year when they come in um um the math standards are the South Carol math standards are all College and Career ready is is their focus and so they they looked at the progression they changed geometry and Algebra 1 and then there are two courses um if you are planning on going not going to a four-year College there's a

025pathway and then if you're planning to go to a fourth year four-year College there's another pathway um if you're planning on going to a two-year technical school or going to military um industry anything like like that instead of a four-year College the progression is geometry Algebra 1 and then you you take applications and modeling and then reasoning and Mathematics um if you plan to go to a four-year College uh you you take the geometry the algebra one then you take Algebra 2 and then you can take any of the courses that are in the box below there's dual dual en dual enrollment courses at uh Pont Tech and Lander of course there's a course called discret math um nobody I know have talked to knows what that is I guess it's discrete so you don't

026know um I still can't tell find anyone to tell me what the street m is but um got sign up for it yeah yeah pre-calculus AP stats and statistical modeling and then of course after pre-cal you can take AP calculus or calculus um we don't offer those at where's high school but um so that's kind of the pathway there now if you notice the arrows going back and forth um you're not necessarily locked into one path or the other um if you start out thinking I'm not going to go to college and instead of after algebra one you take reasoning and math um you can always say you know what I think I want to try and then you can go up and take Algebra 2 and then maybe one of the other courses so

027you can go back and forth that's why the arrows are there U it's kind of a confusing a little bit but I just wanted you to see what our students are are looking at starting next year and some of the courses that they're going to have to take or or can take but at wols high school we will be offering um geometry Algebra 1 Algebra 2 applications and modeling um next year um the year after We'll add in the reasoning and Ma reasoning and Mathematics uh next year we'll also be teaching um pre-calculus and wow statistical modeling correct preal yeah so what honor honors preal yes honors preal okay so with that being with that in mind um we had a text textbook Caravan that I took a group of teachers to a couple weeks

028ago um I took two from the primary two from the middle and one from the high school and we went and looked at all the presentations for all the textbooks um and then those teachers went back to their individual schools and presented to the teachers um at the schools they came up with a there was a rubric and each grade level each teacher Department um graded all the textbooks and came to a decision on which ones they they chose for their school so with that being said for K through five at the primary school in fifth grade at the middle school the choice was McGraw Hill SC reveal math for grades 6 through 8 at wor Middle School the choice was Vos Learning Company and vision math 6-8 for grades 9- 12 you have Algebra

0291 Algebra 2 with probability geometry with Statistics reasoning and math pre-calculus and statistical modeling the choice was the SAS Learning Company and you can see the individual titles for those courses and then the one course by itself applications and modeling there was only one choice for that one available so so of course that one was BW Walsh and that is applications and modeling um yeah yes so are there any questions Mr rice I'm just interested in your personal opinion um the benefits of putting ninth grade in Geometry I think it makes sense it gives um students one a year in high school to get used to high school before you give them that EOC test um geomet R geometry is kind of a standalone math um and I think it it it gives students an

030opportunity to experience high school without having the the pressure of that end of course test Weighing on them and then it gives them a year to mature um so that they're won't take their first EOC until they get to the 10th grade they'll take algebra one and biology one and 10th grade but as it was before they were taking that EOC and they hadn't completed the course yet pretty much pretty much so yeah this now the the honors eighth grade students gift and talented eighth grade students they will take geometry um whereas before they were taking the EOC in the eth grade right so this will give those students another year as well to to mature so that's one the other thing that you can see is that if you take like you said geometry

031is Standalone so if you get it out of the way then you get into your algebra and you stay in that algebra track for the remainder of that helps out a lot sure um one thing I wanted to ask do does the mcra hill text does it lead into the saas company because I know different book companies have some different theories of teaching so as far as how they you know how they relay the information I guess you could say I I don't know that answer I do want to say one thing I should have added at the beginning one of the things that when when South Carolina put it out for bids for the text book right they they they had a requirement that the text book meet at least 80% of the South

032Carolina Standards okay that's great after the first round only one company had a book that met all the criteria and that was SAS okay that's great then they put it out again and said okay we'll allow you to resubmit but these are the changes you have to make and at that point then these other companies were given the opportunity they made changes and they submitted their text textbooks everybody at the Caravan said they meet 95% of the standards um when the they introduced at the very beginning of the Caravan um I can't remember the lady's name now from the state department she came out and said that no company met 100% of all the standards but um the they all met between 95 to 98% of the standards so you're getting the standards just the

033delivery of house ofos delivers compared to mcra Hill I cannot answer that question okay um there was some discussion especially with the primary school um but McGraw Hill you know one grade level said we like McGraw Hill one said we like I ready um but in general everybody had mgra Hill rated the either first or second on their list as being the one that they felt did the best job okay that's great I I'm just make like to make one comment I the kids will adapt to this oh yeah it's the teachers that that I have the the genuine you know concerned for it's it's not geometry like we geometry that we we teach it's it's now geometry without algebra and so it's like it's a it's a whole new course in itself and uh

034there's there's challenges with not only learning the standards learning the approach es um but being able to you know uh deliver that in high quality instruction the first time going through it so um our our Math teachers you know we we tip our cap to them they're they're up for the challenge um but we we just have to be uh readily available to support them through that for sure I do want to interject real quick too U we have sent I think every one of our teachers I know the middle school and the high school um and I think most of the primary school teachers have been to some training or PD on implementing the new standards um there's a lot of that going around um I think we just sent a group a couple

035Middle School teachers last week on Friday Friday before spring break they went to Abbyville I think it was uh but they went readily and they were they were excited about going thank you Mr thank you sir that's going to move us right into some action items and I really appreciate that's a that's a good to me I want to thank you because I think it's a really good progression yes B that has really been a problem for a long time but our first uh under tab one you will see the recommendations and youve heard the presentation by Mr rice do I have a motion to approve the textbooks as so presented I'll make a motion to approve the textbooks presented is there a second a second thank you sir any discussion all those in favor

036say I I tat two you've heard the presentation from the middle uh where's Middle School principal on board approved courses for the 25 26 Academic Year do I have a motion to approve these uh to approve these courses I move that we approve the courses presented by m will thank you sir do I have a a second second thank you Cody any discussion are these all grouped together in this boat yes sir they are three okay um and I I did not make that clear I just went by her presentation but they are all presented together okay do you have um discussion on any particular subject uh just the robotic is not having an instructor at this time is kind of a concern I think um I don't I I can see where that's been

037a concern the robotics team in D West just won an incredible honor uh it's amazing that they're recognized on a national level that tiny little town uh and I spoke to uh Charles Angel and he is aware that you don't have an instructor and and I I he's I think wanting to help he's I haven't gotten back to him but I think that's a concern but I think that they're they're working on possibilities do we have anybody oh we had an interview is that correct this why yeah we had two interviews this week so we're we're actively okay so that is okay that that and he wants to support whoever okay and just just like we have a couple a few other vacancies we're actively trying to fill this is this is one okay all

038it's a good question is you've heard the discussion are we ready um all those in favor say I I I motion carries tab three is our field trip request and our first one is the request for the junior beter club and their field trip and I would like a motion to approve this field trip is there a second I second is there a discussion just just for clarity that the person who made the motion you made Jen did you make the mo motion thanks sorry it's okay um I'd like to say something under discussion the Junior Beta Club has really made a difference and I really think thank you and this is going to be a great field trip and I appreciate your time and your effort in doing so any additional discussion all those

039in favor say I I I motion carries our next recommendation comes from certified teacher contract recommendations I'll recognize Dr Crockett for any discussion before a request for a motion thank you it's it's that it's that time of year we're already towards the end of the year looking forward to to to next year um we will uh intense Our intention to um uh issue contracts towards the the end of April um we did have a a deadline to try to get our all of our SE lead evaluations all those up for fiveyear renewals uh those that are up completed their induction year those are completing their annual annual year so all that all that work by our our principles and our valuating uh evaluators um we have 55 continuing contracts that we would like to present

040to this evening for approval uh two annual ones and five annual twos that means we have five teachers that have completed successfully completed their induction year and um or annual one year and are moving into their annual 2 year um we have a little caveat with with that that once their their certificate uh turns into professional we can re reissue them A continuing contract so these annual twos that you see there once their certificate we won't issue it before their certificate they have they have some work they still have to do um but once that renews to professional we can issue them A continuing contracts so those annual toes will potentially uh turn into continuing and we'll just issue them a new a new contract once that takes place thank you sir is there a

041motion to accept this recommendation as presented by Dr Crockett I make a motion to approve the recommendation thank you sir is there a second second thank you sir discussion hearing none all those in favor say I I all those opposed motion carries thank you thank you sir the two additional recommendations that we have and um Let me let me you I'm going to stop right here before I do that I'm going to recognize uh Dr Crockett to discuss the transfer of athletic funds okay um last year starting last year the board has done a a great job over the years supporting our athletic department I know uh last last year you had uh approved uh security being pulled out of Athletics and also um went ahead and uh there were some uh field maintenance um

042that was added into to the the general budget that that was approved by yall and so there's been added support from the board into our Athletics um I did want to let uh just to bring attention that at the beginning of the year we carried over a negative 9500 it's actually 9500 uh 9,587 a negative balance forward we're just asking that from um from our fund balance that we could cover that negative balance and and allow our uh athletic budget to be to be uh to the good just whatever the carryover was the negative balance for that to be absorbed by the uh our fund balance and that way we can clean that slate and actually have a positive uh balance in our Athletic program that we can start the year off to the good

043and uh budget budget appropriately for that but we're pretty independent um this year living within our our means we're we're we're uh especially with the support that's been given but we're just seeking that we can offset that negative balance that we started the year off is there any any more discussion since we've opened with discussion is it fair to say Dr Crockett that the debt that we're clearing is a past debt um yes we could we could say that we can say that especially after you take fundraising out uh of that equation yeah certainly we could do that so it's not a current debt no not fun and I think that's the most positive POS so I I really applaud that um it's got to be a good feeling for athletic teams you've heard the

044recommendation for the transfer of additional funds to the athletic department to offset um uh pass debt and start the new year with a positive balance do I have a motion to that effect I make a motion to approve is there a second I'll second thank you and discussion I think it's a real positive move and I think it is a incredible reflection of really good fiscal management and I'm very grateful think it be a good thing just to get us into positive and so you're not starting in the hole you starting in the green and push forward and hopefully gr it grows not somebody else you're not you're not behind the eight ball from the where it go hearing the discussion all those in favor say I I those opposed motion carries thank you Dr

045Crockett thank you all right we have two good additional requests that have been sent to each of you and they appear underta and I'll start with Miss kmac she is requesting field a field trip here we go uh permission for uh the FFA Wildlife team for a one-day field trip to Coastal ecology Coastal Carolina and she'll be taking four students with her is there a motion to approve this recommendation I'll make a motion to approve the field trip presented is there second second thank you sir discussion and I assume she will drive herself um hearing no more discussion all those in favor say I I I those opposed motion carries the last request coming under tab three is from coach Dodson who is requesting a field trip position uh permission for a a trip in

046from June 12th through the 14th to appstate uh appalachin state in Boon North Carolina and also Lenor Ryan and Hickory North Carolina there will be campus tours and uh also uh seven on seven practices with high school teams do I have a motion to accept this field trip recommendation so moved thank you sir is there a second second thank you any discussion all those in favor say I motion uh all those opposed motion carries there's a lot going on this is great now the general fund budget um Dr Crockett has covered a a big portion of that Finance statement and I would like to draw your attention to the um and ask as I ask every month I know you get sick of hearing it but I've got to ask are there any questions concerning

047the general fund budget the lunchroom financial report or the high school activity budget is everything straight with the budget from the the money from the state that we wasn't getting answers everything yes yeah our federal funds our federal funds did did come in um much later than than ever before in fact uh into the New Year we're talking back in his face and yeah um Jan I think it was the towards the end of January we started receiving some of those revenues so that we're we're all squared away and actually already putting plans together for next next year you know that our existing funds came in and while we're already planning for for next year's I might sure that they was coming and they they are they're there especially under the conditions from you know

048of uh the national level of Department of Ed things like that we've received our funds so that we can ensure our public that we those those fiscal funds have come in from last year okay great that's the only question I had thank you now I always ask you to look at the very back uh last page of your general fund balance and a number that you should be keen on is the number in the upper right hand corner and I want to point out one thing uh it says our remaining percentage is um ideal 34 we're at 37 which is right in the parameter and the lights have been paid for so I feel like that is a great thing and it's a huge benefit to the school and our student athletes and we're all

049very very grateful are there any questions on your behalf concerning any of the finances that appeared in your packet is any of the big projects not finished being paid for or no I think for the most part everything is squared away I know we we had U just the $155,000 for the architectural that we agreed on last month um that won't be that won't be um invoiced until that project's finished on their end okay but besides that I think Miss Wells am I correct that's it's probably the most the last outstanding uh invoice that we have all like the cooling systems the roof parking lot abely good and I think that U you can see that we're not only trending in the right direction but it's a very healthy uh expenditure and management and I'm
