001It is 6 o'clock and I'm going to call this meeting to order. All board members are present. It is the practice of our board of education to begin our meetings with prayer and the pledge of allegiance. We invite you to bow your heads for prayer and stand to join us in the pledge if you so choose. Mrs. Skellow, >> let us bow our heads. Lord, we respectfully ask for your guidance and wisdom as we proceed with the business before us. Keep us mindful of our purpose of providing a quality education for the students attending Taylor County Schools. Amen. To the flag of the stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> Right. Um, Dr. Stallings, I'm sorry. Do we have any adjustments or addendums to the agenda? >> Yes, Miss

002Garvin, we do. As you noticed uh the we have two agenda. One is for uh it's number 2058 and it's uh pertaining to a memorandum of understanding. And the other one deals with the C area of service personnel. It will be 5155. That's the introduction of an additional bus run. Again, those numbers are 2058 and eventually 5155. And you should have a copy of those two in front of you. Uh looks like this information I passed one. You should have one in front of each of board members. It's three hole punch if you'd like to add that to your agenda or to your binder. >> Very good. Um, at this time I would like to make a motion that items 5056, 5057, 5058, 5059, 5060, 5099, and 5100 are all held for individual votes. >>

003Second questions. >> I sure can. 5056, 50-57, 50-58, 50-559, 5060. Those are all individual student related and 5099 and 5100. Um, since that is a direct vote on myself and my husband, I will recuse myself there. >> So, there's a total of seven >> that I'm aware of at this point. Yes, sir. >> So far. So far. >> Does anybody else have anything? >> Mrs. Garvin, if I may, on 2058, um, to air on the side of caution for myself, um, without obtaining legal counsel on this, I'd like to go ahead and just recuse myself from it. >> Outstanding. Motion amended to include 2058. >> Okay, Mr. Scallow seconds that amendment. Any additional questions or changes? All those in favor? I >> I the superintendent respectfully request approval of the agenda as amended. >> Moved.

004>> Mrs. Galla moves. >> Mrs. Not seconds. All those in favor? >> I. >> Motion moves. Uh we have this evening a delegation. Mr. Board. >> Yes. Really? That's coach. Sorry. >> Please don't forget to turn on the mic. Rich, please. This is your inelegant reminder that your time limit is >> on the very base of it. Just flip the switch right there. There you go. Lights on. Good job. >> Thank you. >> Okay, >> coach. This is your inelegant reminder that you are being live streamed and you have a fivem minute time limit and we can't talk back to you. >> First of all, I know I speak for a lot of people and I I want to say thank you for all the support the board members, Dr. Stallings, Dr. Decker, Mr. Dolan

005have given us at Grafton High School on the uh uh projects that they're currently working on. Um I know our building's 85 years old. I hope I look that good when I'm 85. Secondly, I provide everybody with a folder. Some people like the convenience of a schedule that fits in a pocket, and I've given you a pocket schedule. Uh some like to place them on a refrigerator, so I gave you one of those. I just want you to keep in mind, I guess the magic word in this generation is fluid. It can change and there have been two changes already before we were able to produce the pocket schedules. Um, as Reagan uh said to Gorbachoff in the 1980s, trust but verify, make sure that we're actually playing that night if you want to come

006down and watch. The real reason I'm here is to introduce to you uh the Hall of Fame class that will be inducted next Friday at Grafton High School. Uh six extremely worthy members. Um uh and I I just wanted to make sure that you all knew that this was going to take place before our first home football game that you are all welcome to attend. We have a reception at 5:30. The induction ceremony will start at 6:30 on the field and uh um you can come mingle with some really great people. Thank you. Outstanding. All right. Um that moves us into the 1000 series information and superintendence updates. >> Thank you, Miss Garin. I want to start with it's not a data reveal but I want to introduce our new secretary for the superintendent's office

007and that's Mrs. Katie Westfall who is here this evening for her first time. This is her official maiden voyage as the secretary of for us this evening but uh and she's been with us for just a little while. You approved her at a recent board meeting and was able to join us recently and is already doing a stellar job for us. And I just >> How bad how bad do we need to break her in tonight? >> Trust her email address, please. >> Well, okay, we'll hold off for a few meetings. >> You just gave her just a few >> a laundry list of things separately. And I just told her before we keep breathing. We will all be working on taking notes and then eventually we will then phase out because you'll become just

008really good at that. and um she's a quick learner and I can already I can tell you that already having worked with her just a brief little bit of time. Uh I'm excited to have her join us as a part of our team. Not saying that to make her feel good, but it's true. Um I do want to welcome you Katie. Thank you. And just hold on to the bar. We'll all get through this together tonight. I also wanted to introduce um our representatives that are here from the American Legion who uh were gracious enough to offer to provide um Oh, the group has grown. Welcome. I didn't realize that. The uh when we learned uh uh from our legislative body that we were required to have a posted picture of in God we trust

009in each of our buildings that also depicted an American flag. uh I I reached out to these gentlemen and lady uh with whom I work as a part of the they I got to know them from a memorial day parade committee and they're very very actively involved with that as you all know that's that's what they do one of the many things they do and as you remember they came and did a presentation for the uh the memorial table that we still have here and they have graciously offered to do that they created One of the gentlemen here was the instrument instrumental in the design and they have created and produced multiple copies so that each of our many campuses will be able to have them and they're here to give them to present them

010to you tonight. I we thought it would be appropriate to first have them shown to you and they that's why they're here. So if you'll help me welcome them. Uh I don't know if Robbie has has spoken but all of them come forward please. Actually, you'll be the first to see these. Our administrative council hasn't even seen these yet. They've been tucked away waiting for this night to happen. as I was Any people do? We got it all together. Thank you. >> Very nice. I was hoping. >> Wow. >> Very nice. Thank you. >> That's absolutely amazing. Thank you. >> We I I can't let you go without saying how much we appreciate your support. I mean, and everything that you've done for us and >> we have to work together. >> Well, I'll tell

011you when we received word that we were required to have this. I'll bet you a lot of the schools in the state were fumbling around trying to figure out what to do. And I'll guarantee you ours is going to be prettiest, most beautiful one that will be around. >> One of the things we like about that so much is that it's a flag that's happening in T county, >> not just a stock picture somewhere. So that's helps us allenefit students. >> Well, thank you Nikki for >> Nikki needs It's beautiful. Beautiful. Well, we are truly full of exciting things this evening. What else do you have for us, Dr. Stallings? >> Believe it or not, I'm going to make it that brief for this evening so that you can address the other. We're not ready

012to reveal any kind of academics. the other um we do perhaps have an update regarding some of the you're probably wondering about our many projects that you're seeing that will happen and we are uh I'll in just a second defer to Dr. Decker as well, but I know that if you've been by West Taylor, we were there. Actually, she and I traveled the campuses today to all the schools. Um, and welcome the the faculty and staff back. Uh, rather than having one assembly at the high school this year, we chose to do it at each of their locations so that we can also acknowledge their campuses and all the work that's gone into those. All of our campuses are well ready and prepared, look great. A lot of work has gone into those. In addition

013to the projects that to that the projects that you have been supporting and approving over the course of the last several months, they are well underway. You'll be pleased. Uh let's start with the eldest group. The high school's campus has significant changes that will be appreciated during athletic events outside. They have the new the uh new restrooms that are between the McKini field and the baseball field. They are newly added. Uh tennis courts have been redone. Uh almost finished. >> Go ahead. >> All right. She's giving me more specifics. Um we also then moving down to the middle school. They are doing in they're right now in the process inside of that building. Looks stellar. Looks great. Again, a lot of work there. The exterior of the building has a number of places. we mentioned

014to you that they were adding some recreational components to their their outside place rather than just having very few things to do. They're going to have different places across their campus, not just one. That'll also help divide the it's a large group of students. And when they're on their I believe they call it flex time in their free time, they'll have things that can occupy their time and keep them enjoying that time and not just wondering what to do. uh starting with Anna Jarvis there as you well know that building is underway and we're going vertical and continue to go and grow and uh a lot of is happening there's no one day that it isn't I drive by every day as you all know and each day I'm kind of rubbernecking and trying to

015drive responsibly but I want to see what I'm watching through that fence um a lot of progress being made um West Taylor has that new parking area that they are paving today we met This morning, the gentlemen were outside with all their trucks preparing to pave that newly installed uh parking area. Um I got out of my car just to walk by and I think they thought I was coming to inspect because they all got out of the truck at the same time and tried to tell me what okay we're going to do this and we're going to do this. Um but and we left to go to another campus before they actually did that process that progress or that job. Um in addition to that paving area, they were going to finish patching any

016concerns we had with a pothole here and there in the parking area or the driveway. Went to Flemington. That's a hopping place right now. That roof project there. It there's a lot of interesting things all happening up all the safety flags and all those things. Plus, while we're meeting with them, you could tell there's a lot of work going on upstairs. Uh new doors happening. uh the HVAC that we have ordered to put on top of the main part of the I think some John Mr. Pototts calls the gym a cafeterium the multi-purpose room uh is uh has been delayed but it is not like they haven't been working on getting it here so Dr. is busting to get that in here. Um likewise we have now started working with our architect that will be

017looking the SBA is having a new round of of applications for some of the more support funds and um we're going to be looking at more you're already approving the HVAC system at Flemington but speaking of that getting back to the high school for just a brief moment that is a definite need that we're going to put on that list for the SBA to consider. Uh we've been fussing with that for over a school year trying to keep air conditioning and heat as you are well aware and at some point you stop and you say okay it's time to get some additional support. Um and have I covered all five of our campuses? >> Oh an update. This is something you want to know. Dr. Decker was successful at finally making some contacts uh regarding

018the session stand progress and has very effectively clarified expectations and so we anticipate movement on that pretty quickly. Um she's been phone calls back and forth to get that started again. We learned that the original contractor that had been brought on board by the gentleman that you supported and funded uh that gentleman is no longer in the contracting business. another one of those bumps. However, they do have another contractor that has now stepped up. That's why we think they'll see that progress pretty quickly. And I believe, is there anything else that you can think of? I think we're good to go. And that's what my report will be for this evening. Thank you. >> Thank you. Uh do we have any board member updates or board committee meeting reports? Uh, I would like to give

019a brief update. I went out uh last Saturday to the uh cross country course uh at West Taylor and helped with the cleanup out there. And that course is beautiful and really wellmaintained. uh you know, kudos to uh the coach and and and and that uh that cross country course is something to be proud of. And he tells me it's it's used by other other places as well occasionally for their practices, too. So, you know, we've got we've got a a facility out there that we can really be proud of. Love to hear stuff like that. Anybody else? All right, we're going to move into the 2000 series. Minutes, policies, contracts, and agreements.

I do feel an obligation to give you a little update. This is not a bad thing. However, um we are in the throws today of having a couple substitutes serve us already because one of our SRO's that was approved and is serving uh us according to

022our contract is also in the reserve in the National Guard and recently was deployed to uh help with the situation. I don't understand all I know about that but whatever is taking place in DC. So those people have been deployed. Uh but I was contacted immediately by uh Chief Durant to let us know. This does not impact Chief Durant, but I I don't know what the status of these two individuals may be, but in each case, uh they're assuring us that they're finding it, you know, a temporary assignment for us. Um I met a couple of them today. So, good news. Yeah. >> Very good. >> I hope that's helpful. >> Thank you.

Moving into the 4,000 series statement of accounts, vouchers payable. Mr. Dolan, tell us some things. >> All right. Good evening. Uh, inside of your uh inside your packet, I provided a copy of the

025statement of accounts for um the funds that are being held in the bond account uh for the construction of Anna Durvis. Uh, as you can see, of course, we have withdrawals and that's to keep the, you know, the contractor happy and keep things moving on site there. Uh, we did have some interest that we uh were able to acrew and reinvest into that project. So, that's a good thing. Uh, currently it's at um 5.2678% which is pretty pretty good right now. So, um hopefully we keep that up and they tend to send us a bill about once a month for for their services. So, Like I said, as we keep keep progressing, of course, that'll keep keep coming down. So, but I think we're we're headed in the right direction with that. The second part

026of that is the um statement of account that I typically refer to as our savings account. Um it fluctuates from from month to month. Uh I said typically when we get uh we receive funds from our levy, you know, from our levy and stuff like that, it it'll increase, but during the summer months and winter months, it tends to to drop down a little bit in between those u in between those months. But we still recruit recurring interest on that. Um and with all the projects we have going on, we've we've spent a little bit of money on those. So, but we're still we're still doing all right. Um the uh the bank account uh at the end of July uh we had a little over I forgot to provide it to you. We had

027$1.4 million in the bank as of July 31st. >> Okay. >> And then the other part um is the uh that uh that have been written uh which are uh bills that were due for payroll purposes and for um the lights and water. Uh so that's the first part of the schedule of checks to be written. Uh the second part of your packet are the schedule of checks to be written which upon your approval will be uh printed off tomorrow and mailed out. And those are are bills that have come due uh for either uh services that have already been rendered or travel and um other utilities as well. Have any questions or comments? All right. The superintendent respectfully requests approval of items in the 4,000 series. Mr. Daddy moves Second. >> Mr. Scallow seconds.

029>> I mean, I just would like to know. >> Well, before we put them on the agenda, one of the first things to ask Mrs. McCarthy, who has also helped me investigate those, is there anything that we need to know that would cause us not to do that? And she that's why I was saying I'm afraid you weren't going to ask. Uh there is nothing that I'm aware of that would cause us not to approve that. >> Any additional motion on the floor is open.

They're coming >> and we have we have I have I know I have in the number of years I've been here have always said even in the beginning especially for students best interest health issues learning issues envir learning environment that they feel you know is best I want the kids to come to our county but I will vote for a kid would would have voted in the past right to transfer a student out but I always wanted the parents and the students to come visit our schools before I would vote. Even though that never happened,

031but because I think once they see what we have, they wouldn't want to transfer their kids. Um, but we must be doing something great. I mean, we always are, but I mean, they must finally, I mean, they're wanting to come and move back in to the county instead of move out of the county.

Questions, comments, concerns. >> Yeah, I do have a question. So, after this vote takes place, um how are we with uh any vacancies or will we be in the very good filled state? >> We actually are better. where we are starting this year better than we have in the years that I since I've been here. So, we are uh having everything at Grafton High School is filled. Everything at West Taylor is filled. Uh Taylor County Middle School has one special ed position that they have a long-term substitute in um that they she's returning from last

037year. So, it is a similar face. And then there is one position that will be on the next board agenda that's a special ed job at Anna Jarvis that will be filled. So that leaves one full-time job at Anna Jarvis that we have a long-term sub which we have that lined up already. And then we have one that split between Flemington and Anna Jarvis that is also filled with a long-term sub. And so those are our positions. And then of course we are still looking for our elementary behavior interventionist and uh unfortunately the counselor position that we had someone filled she resigned. So now it's reposted again. So we are looking for those positions as well. We'll post back up tomorrow. So but everyone's knows that and we will be looking for people to fill

038in there. We we did have someone apply for the elementary behavior interventionist. I'm looking at Jamie and so we just have not gotten that filled yet. Um they we're looking to interview someone for that position and so we're hoping to be able to tell you that about next time. >> Um so for the meeting >> we wouldn't you don't need us to have a special meeting before. >> No, unfortunately we're waiting on some background checks. Okay. >> Yeah. So I'm hopeful they've already had that done. So I'm hopeful we just it gets back in time to hit the next agenda. But they are they've already accepted they're just waiting in the wings for us to get that back and start. But yeah, so we really are better off with fewer vacancies than we've had started

039in the past year. So we're we're blessed. We're looking forward to it. >> Thank you, Dr. Decker. I know that's a lot of work and appreciate that. >> Okay, any additional questions for the 5,000 series? We have a motion on the floor. All those in favor? >> I motion passes 5-0. Brings us to the 8000 series. Board member comments and discussions. We don't have anything specific we're going to talk about tonight. So, does anybody have anything that they feel like they need to talk about next time? >> We probably need Oh, this the date. We probably need to bring our calendars next time, don't we? Do we have goals and meetings and all that coming up in September? >> Yeah, >> we have to have that done by the end of September. So, yes, >>

040we then we have some time. Yeah. >> Our currently our next meeting is September 9th, >> but we have to have them done by the end of September. >> Yeah, it is getting to be at the end of it. >> Yeah, because we we this meeting earlier to cover all the Yeah, >> it could be on either you the next two meetings that you don't need another meeting. >> I feel like potentially the goal setting meeting especially has always been an independent meeting. >> Yes. And we are welcome to set a meeting time either now or in the 9,000 series where meetings are happening unless we don't have calendars. >> If if I was I was going to say to answer a question if you want to set a goal setting meeting and then we

041would happen to get a background check in we could add that on the agenda. >> I don't think I can do it before September. That's right now we're just in a stand still because we have to wait for that to get back, >> right? >> I mean, I guess I guess that Labor Day week is open, but >> but that would be a good idea >> because that's three weeks from now to get that get those approved. >> But we need to set them. So, we could do the 16th, set them, approve them on the 23rd, and that gets us by our September 30th. >> Well, we're talking if she has employees that she's willing to hire in from the background, that gets us clear to the 9th before we would approve them. >> That's
