Father, thank you for what you're doing in our in our schools, our county, and our state. This we pray in your son's precious name. Amen. >> Say the pledge of allegiance real quick. Keep going. >> I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> All right. Okay. We have one item on the agenda only and uh so we are going to vote. Uh everybody should have the the uh email memo here. Just a reminder that uh um we don't want to refer to anybody on this committee by
003by name. We want to refer by numbers. So I'll I'll let you Mr. Hardgrove introduce things >> and Yes, sir. Um, and this will be a yearly thing and hopefully next year we'll we'll move it up a month or two, but we're going to we need to select a district disciplinary hearing authority. There are five members that are part of that as outlined in policy 6.317 requiring at least one of them being a certified teacher. Along with the five members, we also have two alternates. So hopefully next August we'll put this as part of a meeting, but um instead of using the um the uh authority members name, they've all been numbered one through five and an alternate one, alternate two. if you want to bring um them together for a vote so we can
004uh approve this committee so we could >> Yeah. So we just need a motion to approve >> the uh the makeup of the committee as recommended by Mr. Hardro. >> Yes, sir. >> So do I have a a motion? >> I so move. >> I'll second. >> Cordell have a second. >> I'll second. >> Mr. Gilly seconds. Okay. Any discussion on this? We can't dive into any details here. So, we're just only voting on the makeup of the committee. So, if there's Oh. All right. You say you just about missed the entire meeting. >> I know. I'm sorry. >> All right. So, we have a motion on the floor to approve the makeup of the DHA. Um, based on Mr. Hardro's recommendations, there should be a an email there for you. Um, everybody is numbered,
005so we're not discussing them by by name, so to keep confidentiality. And so, there's a motion on the floor right now to approve that. And this would be an annual, we'd reappoint this committee next year or roll it over. And that's so the the motion then is to approve these uh these members and the alternates uh um as recommended by Mr. Harrove. >> Yes, sir. >> And so we're in discussion right now. So >> Okay. I have something my my only concern with this and and you know approving these members are are great because you know we you know we we need to have the DHA but my only concern with the issue at hand is with policy 6 316. you know, when the appeal was determined or or when the appeal was made, you
006know, in policy 6.316, third page line 10 and 11, it reads, "The appeal from this decision shall be to the disciplinary hearing authority appointed by the board." If a disciplinary hearing authority has not been appointed, then the appeal shall be to the board. I just want to make sure that we're not you know, um that this is looked at as as going back and um you know, putting in place something that that as a board and system we should have already had in place. you know, the the you know, the way somebody looks at it from the outside, you know, that's that's >> and it should be done yearly >> before the school year starts. >> Can you tell me where that's in uh 6316? >> It's the third page, page three. >> Hang on,
007hang on, hang on. 10 11 ite before all the references. >> What was that number again? >> 6.316. Okay. Cuz your your disciplinary hearing committee is established via policy, >> but it has not been appointed. >> We don't have one yet. >> Of course, if the seats haven't been filled, >> right? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I I see where he's talking about because we're look we look like we're tra we're chasing our tails here. >> I understand. Um I'm I'm good with I'm working. >> Oh, I know. >> To there and I'm fine with with you all hearing it. >> Yeah, we're >> Well, regardless of the fact, I think we still need to fill this board, this panel with names. >> Absolutely. Absolutely. And then I think uh I think uh this October the
0081st I think that's definitely a question to decide actually who is having that hearing that day. And I think that's where the board attorney is going to come into which one's going to handle the >> And you did talk to the board attorney on Friday, right, about that? Yes, sir. Yes. >> And and what did he say? Did he >> Well, we didn't talk about the approval of that. We just talked about the Okay. some items within the >> Yeah, I agree too. I mean, I I think we've got to appoint them. No doubt. Obviously. >> Sure. >> But maybe after this is this this ship is sailed that we come back in maybe. >> Well, enough >> until >> Yes, sir. this and then >> they >> we don't have >> decide who wants
009to make this decision. >> Are we going to let the board attorney make that call on who hears it? Is that what I'm hearing? >> I think that's their decision, isn't it? My my recommendation is we vote those these folks in as our um >> you need them anyways even if you have discipline hearing >> recommended >> and and pass that that will >> that >> take place between you all >> and then either they or we are doing it on October the 1st I guess >> and that >> okay >> but I think he needs to shed some light on which probably should and which probably shouldn't. I agree. >> Attorney. >> All right. So >> that's just >> we can vote it. We can we have a motion on the floor to vote
010in this whether they're the ones that hear on hear the the case on >> October 1st or it's the directly to the board and we have a special call meeting. >> We're going to refer that to Mr. Kaggel then. Yes, sir. And get get a determination there. All right. So, do we want to go ahead and vote on this then? Any other discussion the makeup of this committee? >> So, what we're going to make up we're going to vote for the committee or we are we voting to hear it on next Wednesday? >> You're voting for the committee people >> to serve. >> That's all we're voting for. >> The five members of the committee and the two alternates make sure your committee is already established. >> You're filling approving them. >> You're appointing the
011committee. You're appointing >> We're appointing a committ. Just want to make sure everybody's at home >> is un is understanding that. So, >> all right, Mr. Gilly. >> Hi, >> Mr. Cordell. >> Hi, >> Mr. Anard. >> I >> Miss Jones, >> I miss >> I >> Miss Matthews, >> I >> Mr. >> I >> and I will vote I. That makes it seven >> eight. >> Seven eight. Yeah, that's right. All right. Eight to zero. That motion is passed and there being no other business then uh we can I need a motion to adjurnn. >> I so move >> second it >> Mr. Cordell and Ms. Jones.
