Um and um it's a combined Head Start preK program. All of the budget details

023place. And um these folks can come and do that. Um having a full-time school psychologist will help with that too. But these folks have expertise in doing the FBAs and and that and can also provide some training and support for our teachers and how to deal with some challenging students. Any questions here? Hear none. We have a motion approve the development of advantage contract. All in favor say I. >> I. Post say nay. Eyes have it. Motion carries. Okay. Need a motion approve the athletic trainer service agreement with Canden Clark Memorial Hospital Corporation. >> So move. >> So happy to bring this back to you again. This is a very good deal um for the money that we pay the athletic trainer services that we get. And as you recall, our athletic trainer that was
024at the middle school resigned. So, this person is helping to meet that that need as well with some of the middle school things. Um, I believe this is a very good deal for the money that we pay. >> Questions? >> Is there ever conflicts between Well, I guess it would be basketball maybe where she'd have be required to be both places. >> I don't know that. Well, if she was, what would you know? >> I think that um she would just be on call and be able to respond if she needed to be at either. If the campuses are so close by, she could pro she could probably pop into either one as needed. >> But she just goes to home games, not away. >> I believe they go to and I think it's all
025spelled out in here, but I believe they go to the away football games, too. And then the other events other than football are home. Any other questions here? None.

Need a motion to approve the proposed doctoral thesis survey to work high school students from Mr. Jeremy Carter. So moved, Mr. Macau. >> So um Mr. Carter is a professor at Glenville State College that is working on his doctorate degree and sent an email out to superintendent in West Virginia asking to um do some research for his thesis, which is this survey. It's not very many questions. And basically, um, we're not going to have too
026many kids that would be eligible to participate in this because my understanding of his email and what's before you, this is going to be for any senior that we have that is going to college and majoring in music that would be a firsttime attendee of college. And it specifies that the survey would only be conducted with parental permission. Um, I have I've read through it and somewhat familiar with it. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer. >> That's a pretty uh specific subset. >> It is. >> So, uh, how would parental permission work? >> Well, if Mrs. French. The band director could identify those students that would qualify for the survey. He would have a form letter to send them to to ask them permission to participate. >> So the uh the
027parents would give permission before anything is given to the minor. >> Correct. >> Okay. >> Any other questions hearing? None. We have a motion to approve the proposed doctoral thesis survey to War County High School students from Mr. Jeremy Carter. All in favor say I. >> I. Post say nay. I have it. Motion carries. Okay. Need a motion to approve the work to put out to approve the put out on comment for 10 days. War county schools policy J-17 student use of cell phone and personal electronic devices during the school day. Do I have a motion? So move. >> Yeah, I did run a paper copy of that just like me. My office was focused on paper. >> Thank you. My guess is we'll have comment or two on this one. We may have some
028comments on this one. So, um, as you are probably aware, the legislature passed some new legislation, um, 18-2-46 and that has already been approved by the state board and it is in effect currently. So, cell phones are going to be banned in every county in West Virginia. we had to basically come up with the details of how we were going to enact that and that's what this policy does. Um, basically so cell phones are going to be banned on school property and really um the elementary center doesn't have very many kids with cell phones and the middle school a few more but primarily the biggest users are the high school students And the policy in section 4 says, "While personal electronic devices are permitted on school property, they are not to be permitted to be
029on or out during the school day. Students are not permitted to use personal electronic devices unless explicitly authorized by an administrator for an instructional purpose. So, if a teacher had some kind of thing that they were doing in their class that's going to require students to use phones, that teacher has to get um written permission from the principal as to what that lesson is, why it needs cell phones to do that. Um, students are not permitted to use their students are permitted to use their county issued device, but may only use them for instructional purposes. Devices must be turned off and kept out of sight in a backpack or in a locker unless otherwise authorized. The school shall inform students of the procedure for storing cell phones. Schools must decide and communicate that procedure for
030storing student phones in the day. Unauthorized use may include texting, social media browsing, gaming, photography, or any activity not related to instructions and are subject to the consequences. Um, well, I gave you the wrong draft of that. I've got our student discipline policy here. I'm sorry. I had different versions of this on the computer and sent you the wrong one. Uh basically our student our district student um discipline policy this would be a level one violation I if they if they uh don't follow this students with approved documented need as required by a medical doctor licensed health care professional or as a requirement for an IEP. Um so we do have some students that are diabetic that have their cell phone and have the continuous glucose monitor. So there will be medical exceptions to that.
031Um and basically if you turn to the next page, it says first offense, second offense, subsequent offenses. But basically a verbal warning and confiscation of the device until the end of the day. Second offense, parent or guardian shall be notified and may require the parent to come get the device. And then just like with any other thing in the discipline provision, if they keep um breaking that rule, the consequences are going to move up move up the food chain. So, and um there's a note in the state code that each year each local school improvement council is to review the policy and make any changes as needed. But that's it in a nutshell. >> Mr. Macau, how does our policy uh vary from the state code in any way or did we put anything extra
032in it? >> No. >> Or anything? It's it's from state code. >> So, it can't be on school property period. Not in the the uh >> So, they can have the device here, but it needs to be turned off and and out of sight. >> So, in their in their backpack or purse is fine. >> Yeah. >> As long as it's turned off. if it's in there and it's going off and >> if it's distraction >> if it's a distraction it's g so if it is in their purse or in their backpack and turned off it will not be a problem >> and um I notice it also includes in the uh personal electronic device talks about smartwatches >> so yeah you can't have your phone in your backpack and hooked to your smartwatch so
033um >> tough It's going to be tough. >> Yeah. So, if we have students that that wear smart watches, they can turn them off and keep them on. >> Yeah. >> Turn them off and keep them on. >> So, as the the only reason that a kid is going to be in trouble is if they have their phone out and they're on it or their phone or their smart device is going off and they're getting incoming messages and texts and things like that. If if the device I think you can use the watch without the phone, right? I've never heard the phone. I don't know the answer to that. >> Well, I've got one. You can disconnect the uh from the, you know, from your phone. You can disconnect it so you don't get anything.
034And questions if a if a student wears it any there's uh no disturbance in the classroom >> should not be an issue. >> Okay. >> Right. Right here it says any effort to circumvent this policy with another electronic communication device or through deceptive mean would be considered a violation of the policy. That kind of covers it right. >> Yeah. >> So what are we missing John? >> I forgot to put in the letter and number of our student discipline policy. That's all that's missing there. >> Yes. And I've got it I've got a draft of this save that has that in it already. >> Um >> so the one that'll go on the website will have that in it. Yes. >> Okay. Yeah, that's also on the next page. There's a gap there. Yeah. Okay.
035>> Mr. Hell right there. Good question. You know, with a smart watch. >> Sure. Well, >> with the phone too, they can always call the office if they need. >> So, and I I will say for the parents out there listening is that we if if something is going on and there's extenduating circumstances. Um, let the principal know and have a conversation with the principal. Um, and if if you ever need to contact your student, you can call the office. And if the student ever needs to contact you, they're they're free to come down to the office and use the office phone to do that. And I'll also say that every student, we're a onetoone county, every student has got a netbook and they can be checking their email all day. So instead of texting
036them, shoot them an email. It'll be something we'll have to get used to, >> but I think >> pardon 30 days for comment. >> 10 days >> is what >> I mean I'm not opposed to 30 days if if need >> need to have something by the time >> it's in it's in place. The state policy is in effect right now which which bans it. Th this is just so um if you were to do 10 or you were to do 30, it's not going to make any not going to make any substantive difference >> other than starts up the 14th. >> Well, so the the building principles have already put in their student handbooks and and everything. Well, in the states >> and the state policies, it's already in. >> Okay. So, it is
037>> Yeah. So, I had I think the motion was 10 days. >> But again, I'm not opposed to going to 30 or 15 or whatever. But >> I I'd like to see at least uh till the school till the first day of school because I think that's when all of a sudden parents are going to see that, oh, this is a change. That's >> like if we could if we could extend it past the 10 days. >> Well, let's just >> take a look there, Mr. Macau. And >> it's only nine days till they start school. >> So, if we could extend it for 15 days. >> Yeah. Yeah, that would be fine. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Who made that motion or who approved? Sherry? >> Me. >> Miss Stewart, are you okay if we
038change that to 15 days? >> I'll change that to 15. >> Thank you. Yeah, because the the bottom line of it is very first day of school is in effect. Now, there's going to be there's going to be some learning curves here and we all know that. >> So, that would be back before the board on the September 2nd. >> Yeah, I I think that works. >> Any other questions, guys? We'll see what happens. Uh uh parents this will be and students I mean students make comments as well as parents uh this will be um on our website and if you have something to say about it please make your comments. That's why we put them out there. Okay. So, we have a motion uh to put out for 15 days work county schools policy
039J-17 student use of cell phones and personal electronic devices during the school day. All in favor say I. I. >> I. Post say nay. Eyes have it. Motion carries. Okay. Then authorized positions. Um need a motion to approve U busade. This is it says third position is needed. So this is just one bus eight. >> Yes. >> Okay. Need a motion approved for one bus eight. >> So move. >> So the need for an additional bus aid has arisen. So I think we posted for two and um Mr. Smith has requested that we bring another one for the board to authorize. >> Any questions here? None. We have a motion to approve the authorized position of one bus aid. All in favor say I. I >> I post say nay. Eyes have it. Motion carries.
040Okay. A motion approve the split day cook. That's War County Primary Center, War County Middle School, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and War County High School, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. So, >> Mr. Mcllen, this is new. >> Okay. So, this is new. We recently had a cook at the Primary Center Middle School that um took an aid job and vacated that position. So had some conversation with Mr. Malonus and as you recall we transferred in RIP transfer season last year a cook from the high school to the primary center and well Mr. Malonus is thinking the high school might need a little bit of help in that. And since we had a position become vacant, Mr. Malonus' thought was to make a halftime position between the high school and the primary center. And what
041Um, it wouldn't necessarily be, but the cook that got transferred from the high school there might potentially bid on that and spend some time at both. And then we could if that is filled, we would then abolish the vacant position >> and that would go as is written from 6 to 10 first and then 10 to two. >> Yeah. And that would give that would give the the primary center busy time both places. >> Yeah. Busy that's the busy time at both places. Yes. >> I think it's a pretty smart idea. Mr. Melinda using his head there. >> Yeah. >> Now they'll have to take they will have to account for a break, right? So the the travel time to come over, but we we we have shared numerous staff from the high school campus
042and the >> we have numerous people that do that. Any other questions here? None. We have a motion to approve a split date cook between War County Primary Center, War County Middle School. That is 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and War County High School from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. All in favor say I. I. >> I. Oppos say nay. I have it. Motion carries. Okay, we're down county student enrollment for 2526 or approval of their um of their application. So we'll just take them line by line since they're different counties.

043and the board amended this policy with the new form. So instead of these trickling in a few here and a few there, we get them all in one fell swoop and there's quite a few of them. So um I'm hopeful that next year when the form is out and ready to go that we're not going to have a 2-in stack, they'll they'll come through in a more timely, evenly paced manner. >> How do we u get contract with firsttime users? is a place on the the uh application if if that was their first what I'm saying. >> Yeah. So it on the form if they are a new student seeking open enrollment there's a box to check or if they already if they're if they've already been here and this is a renewal they're checking
044that. Yes. >> Thank you. >> Any other questions? And as we go down through here you can ask questions on every one of Is this more than expected? >> Well, I think this is up a little bit than it was from last year.

We have a motion approve eight students from Richard Ward. All in favor say I. >> I. Post say nay. I have motion carries. Okay. Number C is actually 11. It's not 12.

Mr. McCau, you want to add anything to that or >> um No, I think no. I'll just let let sleeping dogs lie. >> Okay. So we have

Motion carries. Okay. We got a couple volunteer champs for 2526. We'll take them as one motion. Unless anybody would like to split them out. >> Well, considering we hired Adeline, wouldn't she fall under that? >> So, she
048was wanting to volunteer in chaperone and she was in the process of getting all of her sub stuff done, too. So, just to kind of cover all of her bases, she filled this out for approval. >> And it's just kind of coincidence that we hired her. So, you are absolutely correct in that hiring her as an employee negates the the need for this, but she was just kind of covering all of her bases to see which one would get done first. >> Yeah. And if she decides she doesn't want to be an employee, but still wants to >> Yeah, sure. >> No. Um, so I need a motion to approve volunteer and shepherds for 2526 school year. And that's Adeline Sims at War County High School and Colleen Meeks at War County Primary Center, War
049County Middle School, War County High School. >> Any questions, comments? >> Hear none. We have a motion to approve Adeline Sims as as a volunteer chaperone and Colleen Mink as volunteer chaperone for 2526 school year. All in favor say I. >> I. Post say nay. Eyes have it. Motion carries. Okay, we're down to board concerns. Uh we'll start with Mr. I I know this is a little bit late because I never thought of it then, but on the uh policy that we gave 15 days J-17, if we put 14, that'll be our next board meeting. But if it's 15, >> well, if we left at 15, I could just bring it to the next board meeting, but I'm >> It's It'll make any difference. >> It'll be fine. >> Okay. Yeah, it'll be fine. >>
050Hey, thank you, Mr. Stewart. Mr. Love, >> I'm good. >> Miss Sherlock, >> I'm good. >> Mr. Mo, >> I'm okay, sir. Thank you. >> Mr. Mets, I would just mention one quick thing if I might. Um, we had sent out the opening back to school letter to all of the employees. And in that, we have we have a a meeting um in the auditorium on Monday next week. and anybody that wants to attend can come and do that. We'll have Howard Sufer here from it will begin at 8:30 in the auditorium. Howard Sufer is going to be speaking to all employees from 9:00 to 10:00 on employee code of conduct and advice for employees to stay out of trouble. Okay. And the confusing part was one of the other bills that passed said that
051the teacher bill of rights is going to be trained um all teachers will be trained in that in a training provided by the board. So nobody knew exactly what that meant. So, I said we would have a board meeting and the board we would just do for that teacher bill of rights training with Howard Super. Um, but come to find out that just means that you will have to pay for the bill. You don't necessarily have to be there. Um, but if you do want to come for any of that opening day stuff, it will be Monday. And then we have a uh a guest speaker, Dave Weber. If you remember, Dave was here two two years ago. He is an author and a public school motivational speaker and he will be here speaking from
0521:00 to 3:00 in the auditorium to all staff. >> What time is that? >> Um the Dave Weber portion or the whole day? >> 8:30 in the morning. Um we I will be speaking and and some other folks from 8:30 to 9. Howard will be from nine o'clock to 11 o'clock. Um folks will have a break for lunch from 11 to 1 and then Dave Weber will be back in the auditorium at 1:00 to 3. >> Yeah, you might get a question from some from a school person because the letter that went out said special board meeting and all teachers must attend. Okay. And that was to cover the basis because we weren't sure at that time. But that's no longer What's going to happen is the same. We just don't have to have a
053special board meeting to to do it. >> But that would just be with the Howard super beating. >> Yeah. >> Be advisable to be there. >> What's that? >> It may be advisable to be to that one. >> Yeah. So folks, we just didn't understand exactly what the training provided by the board >> meant >> when and that was we talked about that ages ago. That was when we're still trying to figure it out and bice nobody else could give us it. So we're just trying to be make sure that we were proactive and our teachers, our staff wouldn't be in trouble and we wouldn't be in trouble, but it worked itself out. Um, okay. Hey, I do not have anything. Our next board meeting is um 19th. Yes, August the 19th at 6 o'clock
054here in the cafeteria. So, if none else for the good, I will entertain a motion for adjournment. We are adjourned. Thank you. >> Thank you.
