001Good evening. It's time to call the War County Board of Education May 6, 2025 meeting to order. First order of business is our pledge of allegiance. And boy, I've got lots of people to pick from, but I'm going to pick from one of my favorite people, Kaylee Harrison. Would you lead us in the pledge? You do it from right there. To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Thank you, Kaylee. Okay. Uh, do I have a motion to approve the agenda? Okay. Okay, the only changes I can see or add-ons are under getting my fingers to work under employment uh four, five, and six. We have names uh under four, five, and six under employment. Also,
002if it's the okay with my fellow board members, we're going to move recognitions uh up to number four and move information down to number five if that is not a problem with anybody. Okay. Did I miss anything? Any questions, comments, concerns? Hearing none, we have a motion to approve the agenda as presented. All in favor say I. I. Post say nay. Eyes have it. So, we're the recognitions and we're so glad to have so many people here this evening. Uh, and most of you have a smile on your face. That's that's good for us. That's good for us. Uh, okay. So, I'm going to turn it over to Mr. Macauen and let him start down through. After we do the recognition, we'd like for each separate group to come up so we can get a
003picture. Okay? And uh we'll just move on through and when we're done, do not feel like you need to stay, but you are welcome to stay for the rest of the meeting, but uh you will not offend us if if you leave. Okay, Mr. Macau. Okay. First up for recognition this evening, we have War County High School FBLA state conference winners. We have Kelly Sherlock, state parliamentarian. Lincoln Thorne, Ally Nef, and Megan Cutlup, graphic design, first place. Lily Pittz, and Carly Phillips, digital video production, first place. All right. So, all right. Um, just me and Megan are here today. a lot of us, a lot of our other winners uh couldn't be here today, but uh we're really thankful um for the board's support and we're really thankful for our entire county support. It's super
004awesome to have an opportunity like this uh to head to California. So, it's a great experience. Um we've been able to do a lot over this last year and it really hurts to know that it's my senior year and that I'm leaving it all behind. I feel like Megan feels the same. But we've gotten to earn the gold seal chapter award this year. And that is given out to the top two uh chapters in the state or top one depending on the state. Um which basically means that we completed a set of goals and tasks throughout the year called champion chapter. And these are a set of anywhere from things like writing a letter to a representative in local government to holding something at your school like an event or a fundraiser or something like
005that. and we were able to complete 58 out of 60 possible. Um, so we're super proud of the work that our officer team has done and all the guys who have worked so hard to be able to come to nationals. So we thank everybody for our support and are thrilled to be here. Now I believe that we have when you all were here last board meeting the picture with everyone in it. Yes. So if you would like we can use that photo instead of possibly using one with just the two of you. Good, Mr. Golf. Okay. Thank you. I didn't know would there be uh is there like FBLA like collegiate or like that you could get involved in? Yeah. Um FBLA Collegiate exists. Um it is a thing where you can either start up
006your own like individual chapter where you don't have an adviser but also depending on the college they have it. I think the only current college that has it um I think we have two in the state that have it right now. think Clintville State has one and then I think Marshall is also working on one. So, we have a couple of different options to be able to do that. Um, but maybe you can start one wherever you go to school. Good. All right. Congratulations, guys. We're super super. So, you did get the gold seal chapter. Good deal. Good deal. I know last time Mr. G was [Applause] Okay, moving down the list of recognitions, we have War County High School social studies fair winners, Laura Fernat and Carol Russell. The topic was Barbie.
