They box up her food and she's going to pick it up for a week. That is wonderful. She was talking about how nice they were to her. So, will you compliment Miss Charlene and her team that how they're boxing that food up? I didn't know they were doing that by the week. Bobby, will you I know that it's along this line. Can you just make one comment or two about that program? Yes. So, so last school year, Miss Charlene and Miss Charlene is wonderful. Her and her staff were finding opportunities to
040ensure our children in the county receive the meals uh once even when school's out. So, one of the programs that she's we started last school year was uh a box of meals for a week. So, we bring in staff, they box up breakfast and lunch. Some of it does need to be heated up. Um we have several stock sites this year and we can include that information in our next packet. Uh that will do just box feedings. The first part of the summer will include our regular summer feeding programs.

Next, we will have infinite campus training plan by Mr. Bob Lley. Good evening

So, we have laid out the days and times that our folks will be required to receive training based upon their uh specific role within the district. Prior to that, if you notice the blue links that are in our training plan, those are videos that our staff will need to watch prior to attending the training. We do have a live individual who will come in. So, this is not going to be totally virtual training. So, we do
042have an individual who is dedicated to us for an entire week to provide training across all representatives within the district. So, just wanted to share that information with you uh tonight. if if you would share a little more information. This is an upgrade of of powers school um student information system as required by the state. So share a little more please. So uh as we've shared with you a few times prior the uh through over the course of this school year the state has transitioned to infinite campus from power school. The state went through phase one about half the districts last year. So we are currently in phase two. So all of uh next school year will be a learning curve for everyone across the district in terms as managing our student information. Our data
043managers along with Miss Angela and her team are doing a wonderful job to ensure that transition is as smooth as possible. They have been working all year to ensure that the data is correct and accurate as they can ensure at this point to create that smooth transition at the end of this month. in Infinite Campus will become live the first week in July. And Bobby, also we do need to recognize Miss Angela and the data managers uh got a compliment from the state.

Thank you. Good evening, Chairman Leech, Dr. Williamson, and board members. My name is Tori Purcell, and I have the privilege of serving as the clinical
047manager for Code Pediatric Therapy, and I'm also a proud graduate of PSRC. For the past four years, our team has had the honor of providing speech therapy services to your district, continuing a nearly 20-year legacy of support that began with Coastal Therapy Partners and was carried out throughout our acquisition. This partnership has meant a great deal to us over the years. We've grown alongside your students, adapting to the increasing needs and demands, collaborating closely with your staff, and remaining deeply committed to each campus we serve. Our team of six speech language pathologists and assistants aren't just contractors. They are trusted, familiar faces that provide a steady presence for students navigating challenges in one of the most underserved regions in the state. Recently, we learned that our contract would not be renewed for the upcoming year.
048While this was unexpected, I am not here tonight to question that decision. I am here to honor the partnership we've shared over the past two decades and to express our continued commitment to your district and your students. We haven't taken this partnership for granted, not for a single day. We've always strived to be flexible, responsive, and deeply invested in your mission. We recognize that districts must face difficult decisions based on many factors. We have great respect for the complexities you all face as a board, budget constraints, shifting needs, and strategic priorities. But we also hope you'll consider the importance of continuity, connection, and the staff and students that will be greatly impacted by this change. With that, I would like to ask you all to consider room for dialogue to create a path forward that
049allows us the opportunity to continue to support your students in any way that aligns with your vision. At Cole, our vision is to bring hope and change lives here and around the world. It's a vision we live out through every interaction, every therapy session, and every relationship we build in the communities we serve. This district, these campuses are no exception. It has been a meaningful chapter in our story and we would love for that chapter to continue. Thank you for your time, your consideration, and most of all for the work you do on behalf of students and families every day. Thank you. Thank you. 2025 action items 2025 2026 PSRC scheduled board meetings. Great. Thank you, Mr. chairman amendments at your site are the dates for our regular board meeting for 2526 if you would

Good evening, Chairman Leech, Superintendent Dr. Williamson, and board members. Included in your packet, you will find uh budget amendments for the current fiscal year for state funds and a shining stars program. And I can answer any questions anyone has about those at this time. Mr. John, Miss M. Christy Fields, then Miss John. So for for the public that's listening listening to the meeting tonight, can you explain to them why we need to do these budget amendments? So a couple of reasons we need to do budget amendments is um we get new funding in from the state. We get a a system revision. Sometimes it's once every two weeks, sometimes
057it's every week, sometimes it's once a month. So the state continues throughout the year to give us additional state funds or make changes to the existing funds that we have. We also have a process called ABC transfer where certain PRC's that we have, we're able to transfer between state funds if we see we don't need it in a certain area and we do need it in another area. And that's what a lot of them are tonight. Um but mostly it's getting additional funds um transferring between the PRC's within the state funds or making the adjustments the state has sent to us. And PRC stands for I'm sorry program report code. Um, so the, uh, state of North Carolina Department of Public Construction has an extensive chart of accounts out on their website and everything that
058we talk about gets translated into a budget code with the PRC being um, the um, content of that. Like O1 is classroom teachers, O24 is DSSF. There's a long list and a thousand plus page document out there that lists all these programs. Mr. John, Mr. Simmons, Mr. Ukra, the amendments you made, that's the only changes. Yes, sir. I make a motion to approve. A motion being made by Mr. John Simmons to approve the budget amendments. A second been made by Miss Melissa Ocean. All in favor say I. All oppose. Continuing resolution uh 2526, Miss Erica Setson. Thank you. Um the continuing resolution is just a document that says in the event that we don't have a state adopted budget by July the 1st, we can continue operating based on the current school year 2425 numbers
059until such document um is presented by the state and PSRC updates um our operating budget. Uh, Miss Melissa Ocean. Motion to approve the continuing resolution for 2526. A motion been made by Miss Melissa Ocean to uh for continue resolutions 2526. Do we got a second? A second been made by Dr. Linda Emanuel. All in favor say I. All oppose. Hey Mr. Henry, how you vote? for it. Crystal Monroe, how you vote? For it. All right. Thank you. Also, um, we need to for the budget amendments. We need to know how you, uh, how you voted also for the budget amendments. Mr. Henry, I'm for it. All right. Miss Christy Monroe. Miss Monroe for the budget amendment. Sorry. Sorry. Um, yes. So, we got all Yes. Um, thank you, Mr. Terry. Dr. Terry Lley got a
060question about the micro threshold discussion. Okay. I'm sorry, Mr. Terry. Go ahead. About the threshold. All right. About that when we get All right. When we get to Okay. My fault. Um. Okay. Erica micro purchase threshold increase to 25 26 by Miss Erica set. So part of the infusion of the COVID funds brought new procurement rules from the federal government. So this was about five years ago. I think this is about the fourth year we presented the microurchase threshold. So when those funds came about um at first it was $2,500. Any federal expense over $2,500 required a different procurement process. The federal government before they released it to us changed that to 10. And what that process meant, any federal expense over $10,000 required three informal quotes or for it to be val evaluated to
061be a sole source. And then there had to be an internal process by the district to approve soul source any purchase over 10,000. This particular document increases that dollar threshold from 10,000 to 30,000. So anything over 30,000 requires us to follow that procurement process. All right, Mr. Terry, Mr. Schwarz, on the the first line it says whereas from time to time in the public schools of Robinson County and it says the unit, but at the footnote says the term unit should be replaced with the proper public entity name. Um this did not have legal review week. This is a this form should be amended to uh before this is signed the resolution should be changed to incorporate the appropriate names throughout. So should it say board of education? I just put public schools of Robinson
062County because we monitor the daily procurement um processes. Give me one second if you would. Okay. Okay, it's got the mini Brooks in there. This is fine. It's fine the way it is. Okay. But Okay. On the second page, uh, where it says, "Now, therefore, be it resolved, there's option one, option two, and option three." So, which one we voting on? Those are internal options that give us the ability to present this to the board, not the options of the board deciding which one to choose. Those are options that allow us to be able to submit this document and we meet it by all the provisions there. But it's not an option that you pick one of those options that we're voting on. Those are the three options that allow us to submit this document
063before you for approval. All right, Mrs. Trey, Miss Erica, who is wanting this increase? Is it house superintendent? Who who was wanting this increase? The procure Well, the finance department. You're wanting this increase? Yes. Okay. And you said it was what previously? Dollar amount. 10,000. And now you want to make it to 30,000 or 50,000? 30,000. The 50,000 is related to contracts um which we don't enter into with federal funds. We do that with capital outlay and this will be the the this will be the fifth year I presented this for approval. So but there's an increase this year. It it's I present the increase. You have to do it annually. So in in the previous four years I've asked for an increase from 10,000 to 30,000 and we've approved it previously and you have
064approved it previously. You just have to present it every year. You can't do it one time and then it's good until you present it again. You have to repeat it annually. No, I'm clear. Thank you. Dr. Emanuel president tonight. Are we ready to vote? Somebody somebody got to make a motion and we can vote. I make a motion that we adopt this threshold to 30,000 from 10,000 to 30,000 as we have done the last couple of years to my memory. A mot a motion been made to increase the the threshold to 30,000 and there's been a second by Miss Melissa Ocean. All in favor say I. That motion should be to approve the resolution. Okay. I make a motion to approve the resolution to move the threshold from 10,000 to 30,000 as we have done
065in the last couple of years. A motion's been made to to to approve the resolution of the $30,000 threshold and the second being made by Miss Melissa Ocean. All in favor say I. I. All oppose. And I did also want to add that this mirrors the state requirement. The state threshold is 30,000. And so the federal government wanted to give the states options to make the procurement process because it's already so complicated to make it more streamlined. So your state and federal procurement rules would mirror themselves. I missed the uh Mr. Henry, how you voted for. All right, Miss Crystal Monroe, how you vote? I'm for it. All right. Thank you. Thank you. I've got one more. The monthly financial it's on the second page. Okay. Now, the monthly financial report by Mr. Erica sets
066and I presented the monthly financial report um in your packet and I can answer any questions anybody has at this time. Mr. John Simmons. Sir, has anything changed? No, sir. Make a motion approve. There's been a motion by Mr. John Simmons to approve the monthly financial report and there's been a second by Mr. Bradley Phillips. All in favor say I. All oppose. Um, Mr. Henry, how you vote? All right. Did everybody vote? Yep. All right. Eyes have it. Thank you. Good. Erica, before you take your seat, please. Couple of years, maybe been three years back, uh we looked at EC, uh the transportation costs that helped us make the decision to move those program to their home schoolbased school. Can you give us an update on the amount of savings at this point? Yes, sir.
067So, in comparing the 23 24 school year to the current school year we're in, we're very close. we're at like 297,000. So, we're very close to $300,000 in savings in looking at those EC contracted transportation cost um from one year to the next. And we will certainly need that in transportation because as I've repeatedly said, transportation is over every year. Um so, the last two months we have experienced that overage there. So, that that will be a savings that will help us as we close out the year. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. Melissa Ocean. I move that the board of education for the public schools of Robinson County go into close session for the purposes of discussing certified and classified personnel North Carolina general statutes 143 through 318.11a1 and 6 and to consult with
068the attorney retained by the board in order to preserve the attorney client privilege between the attorney and the board of education for the public schools of Robinson County North Carolina general statutes 143 through 318.11813 Three. Motion's been made by Miss Melissa Ocean to go into close sex. A second been bay by Mr. Trey Brit. All in favor say I. I. All right. Close session. Get Mr. I'm going to drop by the closed session by Miss Melissa Ocean and a second being made by Mr. Hering Brewer. All in favor say I. I. All oppose. Uh motion to approve close um session minutes. A motion been made by Mr. John Simmons. Second being made by Mr. Trey Brick. All in favor say I. A motion to approve personnel as presented. I'm sorry. Uh Mr. Melissa, Mr. Herring,
069how do you vote to approve the close session minutes? I'm for it. What about the motion to approve personnel as presented? I thought we were going to make some modifications or are we going to vote separately on those concerns? On personnel. Yes, I know. I don't think we had no changes in personnel. We had discussion about part-time. Yeah, that was at a later That was at a later date. that that was at a later date. We we we didn't make no decision. Just we're going to look at hiring somebody at a later date in the near future. That's the only thing we made um a decision on. Okay. I'm sorry. All right. So, a motion to approve personnel as presented. I I I made a motion. Do we got a motion in the second before
070we vote on it? I make a motion to approve personnel presented. Uh, a motion been made by Miss Melissa Ocean and a second being made by Mr. Craig Lyra. All in favor say I. I. Excuse me. Um, need to announce that u um Mr. Leech and Miss Fields are recused from voting on this. Yes. Thank you. All right. A motion to uh a motion to amend trans a motion to approve. All right. Can we get a a vote for a motion to approve personnel as presented? All in favor? I I [Music] That'll be recorded as an 80 vote with Miss Monroe absent and Mr. Leech and Miss Fields recused. Correct. A motion to amend transfers. A motion to approve transfers as amended. A motion been made by Dr. Lindy Emanuel. Second being made by Miss
071Christy Fields. All in favor say I. I. All oppose. Mission. Miss Ocean. How you vote? [Applause] Yes. I got it on here. His motion. Mr. All right. Now, we have to go back and vote on the 20 25 2026 contracted services. Do we do we have a motion? Not. Yes. Mr. Chair, I make a motion that we approve the contracts as presented for the 2025 um school year. All right. A motion being made by Dr. Lion Manor. Do I got a second? Second being made by Mr. Craig Lry. All in favor say I. I. I. All oppose. Five. Motion fails. Motion fails. 55. All right. Um, Mr. Trey Britt or Mr. Mr. Trey, I'd like to make a substitute motion off this contract for PSRC EC contracts 2526. I'd like to take off PTS services
072as a provider and add Cole Pediatrics and Overflow Enterprises back in their original positions of schools that they had this previous school year. A motion being made by Mr. Trey Brick to take PTS services off the contract and put CO services and overflow back into the the contracted services that they had. And a second will being made by Mr. Bradley Phillips. All in favor say I. Any discussion? at [Music] a discussion. Dr. Emanuel. Okay. So, my understanding in your motion, Mr. Trey, is you want to take PTS off and add these two overflow and the other one back on. Is that what you're saying being PTS is a new company? Yes, I know we do use them for Kelly services for substitutes, but I'm not willing to as a speech company and add overflow and
073they will have the same capacity schools, however you want to call it, that they have before along with cold pediatrics just like it was this past year. Do you understand what I'm saying, Dr. May? I I get what you're saying. Now, tell me tell me can you give me some logic? Say it again. your logic for taking the the Kelly off. Tell me one more time your logic. PTS is a new company never used before. Okay. All right. But the others So the others we have used we had the discussion about that you know aware of and I want to keep them at the same capacity had for the last contract. The reasoning that's given to you by the given to us by the lawyer that didn't that doesn't make any sway with you at
074all? No, ma'am. Because there's I'm more than one in this situation. I'm only one though. And I had others to vote with me. I was talking about you, not the others. Okay. Thank you. Okay, hold up. What's up? Mr. Craig um I'll be honest with you. I'm I'm conflicted in this whole situation tonight. Um, I can see some logic in taking PTS off because it is a new company and kind of wondering how did this whole process happen. Uh, I do have a concern bringing on two companies back on that they cost us money and um the EC department this year, but we're going to add them back on. Uh, I'd love to know how much and I know we wouldn't get that answer tonight. That's just me voicing my concerns. um you know PTS
075if that could be since they are involved I understand now with Kelly Education and I didn't know that till I was sitting here tonight um if I could get more information on that before I would vote to say yes to them but I do have a real concern bringing companies back on and they did cost us money last year now understanding too they've been with us many years and and I mean that's a plus you know it's hard to walk tail for somebody you walking away after 20 years. So like I said, there's a lot of conflicts that I have in this whole situation tonight. That's it. So Mr. Chair, if that is the pleasure of the board uh to pull PTS, then I would ask our attorney for those two companies that we write
076a contract that spell out concerns. I think that ought to be a requirement. I can agree, Mr. Terry. We got um Mr. Terry, Mr. Bradley, and then Mr. Henry, and then we're going to move on. I I'm not comfortable um coming here um and just sort of breaking relationships that's been established for 20some years um without any um without any forewarning there. There there should have been some we there should have been opportunities created for this board to receive some kind of update if there were issues um in place. I'm not comfortable coming here and just cut these ties at the last minute and hearing all these things. Um, and picking up a new comp a brand and creating a brand new relationship and sending money out of state. I just feel like we need
077to work with with this is a LEA. This is a local education agency. We need to build relationships in this community. We need to have ongoing discussions about progress and how these and how these relationships are working out. And if they're not working out, there needs to be ample documentation and ample warning to this board on how to proceed before we get here and are only presented with one option. Mr. Bradley, then Mr. Henry, you you you'll be next and then that's that's it. you covered. All right, Mr. Henry. Um, my my concern is um our EC department is seems to be our most vulnerable department right now and being held liable legally. Um, if we have contractors that it goes out in the contract that they don't meet deadlines, I have a concern with
078that because it's costing us in several ways. Um, that's that's the issue I have. Um, the PTS being a new company, I don't have an issue with that. I just see when I look at the contracts, I see um they taking the bulk of the work and some of these other companies are not even close. And it just makes me um it raises a red flag for me to say, you know, what's going on here, but um it's it's going to be tough to to decide on this issue. Yeah. All right. Um go ahead. Yes, Mr. Henry. Um those are different services for the small dollar amounts. That's why that exists. But I want to make a recommendation. So we pull PTS uh from tonight. We approve the other companies because as Dr. Emanuel stated,
079EC services we've got to move on and we'll do some additional research. come back next month um and present different information for those companies and and what I said I want to make sure we holding all contractors up under the same microscope and up under the same u up the same microscope but up under the same we expect the same from all of them documentation you coming up you mess with people livelihoods all kind of stuff with our kids livelihoods I make sure we have proper documentation and everything when you want to cancel a contract I M Miss M uh Trey, I'm not willing to come back next month and discuss it. This board voted. We voted the way we voted. That's the way it needs to be. All right. Did we take a vote?
080Yeah. No, you need to take a vote. I thought we took a vote. Okay. All right. You didn't allow for discussion first. No, I thought we took a vote, then we discussed it. All right. We took a vote and then we discussed it after. All right. Well, okay. All All in favor? Okay. A motion bit. No, he did. He did. He made a substitute motion. He We did. We voted twice already. We voted twice already. Pass. All right. A mo a motion's on the table. A motion was on the table by Mr. Trey Britt. A second been made by Mr. Bradley Phillips to uh to accept this um accept the accepted contracts accept PTS but add coal and overflow back on. All in favor that was after the vote was taken. We can vote again
081but that was after the vote. What was the vote? It it it passed what Trey said. It was after we can vote again, but that was after the vote. Mr. Let's take a vote again. Um, Mr. Craig, I had a question here. It there was a vote taken. It was five to five and then the comment was made. I thought, tell me if I'm wrong, by Dr. Williamson, that we'd take off this PTS and we would vote on what year and they would bring information about those other two companies with some contracts through the lawyer. All right. that would hold them a little accountable to stuff that made a mistake this past year. Now, that state that was stated whether we voted on it or not. Let's let's do let's do the let's do the
082vote again because the vote was we made two votes. We made two votes. Dr. Manual vote was it got shut it down and miss Mr. Trey made a motion. Go ahead. I'm sorry. I'm clarifying my motion that take PTS off the EC contractors for this upcoming school year. ET PTS that's along with Kelly service. Keep Kelly services as the substitutes but take them off the EC contracts and add back on the their overflow and coal pediatrics at the same capacity that they were for the previous school year. That was that's the motion that has been made. All right. Do we have a second? That that was that was that was the motion that you made before. Then you have a second by Mr. Phillips voted. Yes. But his motion was a substitute motion. Yeah. Yeah.
083But we voted on the substitute motion too. That's now excuse me. What the original motion by Dr. Emanuel, seconded by Mr. Larry was to approve the 202526 um EC contract services uh as presented. That failed on a five to five vote. Then Mr. Britt seconded by Mr. Phillips made a motion to remove PTS services from the list and add coal pediat coal pediatrics and overflow in their place at the same capacity as before. Yes. And that pass let's have a vote. Let's show show and then you started to vote and Dr. Emanuel started to ask a question and that's when I I said you need to allow for discussion. I think it was nothing. Let's show the raise their hands. All in favor say I. I. All in favor say I. By the show of
