001like to call to order the September Elizabeth and Board of Education meeting. Like to welcome everyone. Uh at this time, I will turn it over to Mr. Van Hus for the moment of silence and pledge to the flag. >> Please stand for a moment of silence. Thank you. Attention. Salute. Pledge. >> I aliance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for it stands. One nation indivisibley and justice for all. This time it's time to approve the consent agenda and regular agenda. Can I get a motion to approve? >> Motion and a second. >> Second. Any discussion on any item or anything need to be moved? Okay. Seeing none. Uh the item is to approve the consent agenda and regular agenda. All those in favor, please say I. >> I.
002Any opposed? And there are none. It's now time for citizens to speak. And we're honored to have Major Patty Woodby uh with us today. And I'll let you bring your guest up. And I got to listen to this at Carter Countyy's week. So it's ready. >> That's Yeah. Well, this is a good place to be. If you'll come to the microphone. Thank you all for being here. Thank you guys for adding us to your agenda. We just wanted to do a quick introduction. Carter County has two new EMA directors. Um, so I wanted to bring Kathy by and allow her to introduce herself, give you a little bit about her background, let the school systems know how EMA can play a role in the system. We are trying to put more of a community face
003with EMA, allowing people to understand what EMA does, how important they are in your community, and what they do when a disaster is not hitting. Um, unfortunately when Helen hit, a lot of people didn't realize that the EMA office moves to the top of the chain and uh along with the mayor and they are the when we're under disaster, they're the ones that are making all the decisions that come in and out of the county. They have to request all the assets. Nothing can come in or go out without the EMA director and the mayor. So, we really want to be more community or community oriented with the EMA. Um, we really want to showcase them, let the school systems know when they're needed. They can even come and speak to students like this month
004is preparedness month and so Kathy's got brochures and things like that. So we just we want to little have a little bit more insight into how important EMA is in each of our communities and how necessary funding is for them so we can do what we've done um and be a little bit more prepared for the next event. So I'll turn it over to Kathy. >> Thank you uh for allowing me to come in and greet and meet you all. Uh my name is Kathy Umin. I know the last name is a little bit challenging. So, the best way I can tell you going forward is if you say I'm working, which I normally am all the time, very fast, you can get the um out. Um I c I come from Hawkins County. Um
005I re moved down to state of Tennessee from the north. Don't hold it against me. This is where I belong. This is where my I I'm a country girl to begin with. Um, but I bring 32 years of OEM up north or EMA experience. Um, I also was a EMS uh, am chief up north as well. Um, but with the EMA, I was privileged to work alongside NYPD with 911 in in involved with the response through the recovery up there. So, I bring a lot of knowledge to the table down here. I am a very very much a proponent of getting the public aware and having our community more prepared. I, as the mayor had said, this month, September, is uh national preparedness month. We do have a social media uh Facebook page. I've been
006posting weekly challenges, create your emergency uh family plan, your communication plan. Um, I can't stress the communication plan high enough because I know during um, Hurricane Helen when that hit here, communication, just like other events is the first thing that goes and a lot of people were making phone calls into the 911 center. Checking welfare because they couldn't get in touch with family. So, having that emergency communication plan is key. So, I do have a couple of I can leave with you in the back if people want to take when they leave. Um, but I want to make sure that the city of Elizabeth and Carter County, we are all working together as one and trying to become all better resilient. Um, my deputy director unfortunately could not be here tonight. Um, some of you
007may know him. Um, it's Lucas Greg. He is involved with the uh, youth sports. He has two girls that go to Happy Valley school system and he is involved with uh I believe basketball and softball, girls softball. So you may be familiar with the name and when you see him might be familiar with the face as well. >> Um but I do appreciate again being able to come up and talk to you and with board of education. Um I know how important school safety is. So if there's anything that our office can assist you with planning, uh drills, and that we are there to serve you. >> Okay. >> Thank you. >> And before I step back, I want to take a minute and thank each of you for your steadfast leadership and your faculty
008during Helen, especially allowing us to use Elizabeth and High School for the staging area and and everything that you've done for Carter County and Elizabeth. That was probably some of our darkest times, but it set an example all across America of what community does and we really rose to the occasion and we I couldn't have done it. We couldn't have done it without each of you helping us. So, I just want to show my gratitude and appreciation. >> Especially as we come up on a year. >> Yeah. >> So, >> Thank you all so much. >> Thank you. >> Now, it's time for special recognition. And it's time to recognize our 2526 teachers of the year. I'll turn it over to Mr. Van Hus. I'm going to turn it over to Dr. Newman. All right.
009Shar. >> Hi. I get the privilege of doing this again this year. Um this is actually Travis Thompson's responsibilities and he is at a soccer game. So um so I get the privilege of doing that. So, I'm excited to um announce our um teacher of the year winners and um this is for 2526 school year. And for our prek fourth um is Emily Rock. And if I call your name, come on up here so everybody can see you. Um they work hard and diligently with our students every day, so they deserve our recognition. Rebecca Hornek and Amanda Ryder, who is no longer with us. She moved out of state, so she's no longer with us this year.

Um they were so eager to be here and be recognized that they came last week, but really it was a mistake on our side. So we appreciate them coming and um and we want to if you don't mind to give them a round of applause because they work really All right. So, I think I have certificates. Do I have certificates for all of you? Yeah. Um, but we also have some district winners. So, if I call your name as a district winner, if you don't mind to step forward and that is Kendra Klein and Katie Ducker. >> I

They don't want us in the picture. >> Yeah. All right. Well, we'll give um Mr. Thompson a little hard time since he wasn't here to do this, but I'm glad he wasn't, so I get to do it. So, if you don't mind to give him another round of applause, I appreciate Thank you. Okay. Next, we're going to recognize Princess Russell. And you going to handle that? All right. Mer, come on up. Um, this summer we took our state champions within Hosa, a group of, help me out here, Sarah, eight, nine, eight or nine students, um, to the national leadership convention in
012Atlanta, um, where they all competed in their respective competitions. Um and Princess while she didn't make the podium um she did exceptionally well in her competition and she placed fourth. Um so at a national convention that is a big deal and we wanted to make sure that we recognized her accomplishment and so each year she has improved within her competition and we are confident that this upcoming year that she's going to win state again and then make the podium at nationals. So we have a certificate Congratulations. [Applause] Next, uh I think Mr. White's going to handle some information about AP Scholars. >> Good evening everyone. Uh it's my honor to be here to recognize our AP scholars uh from the 2024 2025 school year. Uh each year the AP program recognizes high school students who
013have demonstrated outstanding college level achievement through their performance on multiple AP exams. AP or advanced placement courses are arguably the most challenging that we offer at Elizabeth and High School. Uh students work through rigorous content and take a culminating college level AP test in May. They can receive a one to a six on these exams where scores of three and above are considered passing and college ready. Uh colleges generally use these AP scores towards college credit and determine course placement. Uh though they may also consider them for admissions, especially at selective institutions. So last year, uh, Elizabeth and High School had 98 students participate in AP courses. Uh, where these same students took 132 exams. So those 98 took 132 exams. 86% of those students scored a three or higher. So that speaks very highly
014of our teachers and the job that they do uh in the students and how how serious they take it. Of these students, 21 whom we will recognize tonight. um these students as I call your name. If you're here in the in the crowd, I think I see one couple maybe for sure. Uh if if you can come up if I call your name, we'll get we have a certificate for you. Um our first group of our 12 AP scholars is to qualify for this honor. Students must receive scores of three or higher on three or more AP exams. So those students are Connor Blevens, Sydney Green, Kaylin Cros, Sarah McCoy, Abigail S, Jasmine Starns, Adriana Stefan Vicas, Logan Ty, Lillian Walker, Lauren Watson, Camden Wright, and Owen Yang. [Applause] Very good guys if you want
015to give them a hand. Our second group uh we have seven AP scholars with honor. So to qualify for this students must receive a 3.25 25 on all P all AP exams taken and scores of three or higher on all four on four or more AP exams. So these students are Cooper Chanel, Aubry Cole, Roric Gearing, Lorenzo Jeter, Elijah Laney, Rachel Perkins, and Dana Treadway. [Applause] And then our third group, we have two AP scholars with distinction. So to qualify for this, you must receive a 3.5 on all AP exams taken and scores of three or higher on five or more of these AP exams. So with distinction, we have Grace Arts and Baylor Hoff. We'll give them a hand. Uh we'd also like to take a moment. We got a phone call this afternoon
016to uh Miss Honeyut. We had two students uh from Elizabeth and that got some great news. Cooper Chanel and our previous board liaison Hudson Smith notified us notified us this afternoon that they have both been selected as members of the student government association at the University of Tennessee. So it's a very highly competitive position. Um, and so they did a great job and to have two from our school getting to represent us down there, uh, is pretty fantastic. We wanted to recognize them tonight as well. >> Awesome. Awesome. And we also want to extend our thanks to the board, the opportunity to have to be able to provide these students with these tests. We can't do it without you. Um, you guys provide us the opportunity to pay for those for those kids that want
017to take them. So, I know that that is a huge help to them and it opens up a lot of possibilities to them. So if we want to thank you for that and appreciate everything that you guys do for Cyclone Nation. >> Thank you. >> This is generally the time we make a kind gesture that if you need to go, this would be a good time for you to maybe step out. If you want to stay, we welcome you. But we do appreciate the fact you're here and congratulations to all of our students and teachers. Clear. >> Did he really? Mhm. >> Okay, it's now time for the director's update. So, I'll turn it over to Mr. Van Hus. >> Okay, thank you very much. Uh to start with, um Coach Brousard, our swim coach
018at the high school. She's also heavily involved with the Typhoon Swim Club that the community involvement program sponsors. And so she's going to come at this time and give you a little report on the Typhoon Swim Club and and all the activities they've done and and their progress over the summer. So, coach, come on up. >> Thank you for allowing me a few moments of your time really just to brag on the Elizabeth the Elizabeth and City Schools Community Involvement Program and to inform you of all of that we have going on with that program. Um, so I'm going to jump right into it. The leading cause of accidental death in children ages 1 to four is drowning. The second leading cause of accidental death in children 5 to 15 is drowning. And our country
019is the only country in the civilized world not to have a plan to address it. So it's up to communities like ours through programs like the community involvement program to address it ourselves. and I hope that I can prove to you today that we are taking full advantage of your program to be able to do that for our community. Um, four years ago, the Elizabeth and City Schools Community Involvement Program began in began conducting our swimming lesson program through the Typhoon Swim Club. We wanted to achieve two goals. One obviously to teach water safety and the other to feed our already existing Typhoon Swim Club. the competitive team. Students have the opportunity to progress through our program from tadpole to minnow to guppy and then to lion fish. So, it's a fourlevel program. And for
020some reason, a lot of families just really want to go through all four levels. They don't have to. By the time they get to level two, by the time they're a minnow, they already can survive in the water. Something we're very proud of. But they they want to get that level four certificate so they keep on going. um during which they learn those competitive strokes. In addition to water safety, our lesson season runs from right after spring break through July. In the last four years, we have taught 317 children and a handful of adults to swim. This year, we also began offering private lessons, which have proven popular among adults who don't want to be in the pool with a bunch of other people and children and families with special needs children. Our lesson program
021has developed as a rep a reputation as being the swim school to participate in with students coming from as far away as Avery County, North Carolina. Because the community involvement pro program exists, we have the freedom to offer programming that is literally saving lives. Upon graduating as a lionfish, students have the are offered the opportunity to join the typhoon swim club as a member of the water spouts group. The water spouts are our entrylevel pro group of swimmers who are learning and refining the skills essential to competitive swimming. This season, we added 10 new Typhoon Swim Club members into our water spouts group because of our swimming lesson program. Our our roster now includes 41 swimmers. That's the most we've had at this point any year previously. Each year, the Elizabethan High School pool accommodates
02260 to 70 student swimmers through the combination of our Typhoon swim club, our high school swim teams, and our TA Duggar junior high school program. In March of this year, we concluded the arduous process of becoming a USA registered swim club. This means that now our Typhoon Swim Club swim team members can compete year round, potentially up to the national level. There are many, many college scholarship opportunities in the sport of swimming, and the Typhoon Swim Club is a crucial training method for our swimmers to be able to achieve and earn those scholarships. Through the success and fundraising that all of our swimming programs have achieved, we have been able to contribute over $76,000 to facilitate facility improvements. We've gotten lockers in the locker rooms, bleachers in the pool area, new starting blocks, a newly
023resurfaced pool deck, a fresh new coat of paint. If you haven't seen it, it looks much better in there, and now a very nice timing system. I am very proud of the facility improvements that we have been able to achieve in a relatively short period of time. I think we started our first project was the pool deck. That was four years ago and I think that might be the last time I was here speaking to you guys. So, it's nice to be back. Our next project goals are to replace two lane line attachments that are currently being held together with PVC pipe and to repair the ventilation system as proper ventilation in a pool area is crucial to preventing skin, eye, and lung irritation or even injury in our athletes. Because of the improvements we
024have made, we now have the pride and confidence to very soon begin hosting small USA sanctioned meets called block party meets designed to be short, affordable one-day meets for age group swimmers in our region looking for more opportunities to compete and achieve their goals in our sport. Because swimming is one of the few competitive sports that can be participated in throughout life. We also are plan or master swimming is currently rapidly growing as we have an increasing number of elderly in our population. So we plan to also begin hosting semianual master swim meets so that adults aged 18 to 110 and literally we have 100-year-old swimmers out there breaking world records can compete also and have more opportunities to compete. These meets will serve as fundraisers for both our Typhoon Swim Club and our swimming
025lesson programs, which will further our ability to very proudly be completely self-funded. 16 of the 24 instructors that we have hired to teach our swimming lessons or are or have been members of our high school swim team. For many of them, I am very proud to say that it was their first job. And what a noble, albeit difficult, rewarding job it is. Going forward, we want you to know that we plan on continuing with these essential programs. We don't plan on going anywhere. We hope to add even more and we will maximize the use of our modest 51-year-old pool for as long as it will last. I just want to thank you all for your continued support of this program. I'm on behalf of myself as well as all of my swimming families. It's really
026important to them. So, thank you. >> Thank you very much. It's a great program. There's >> some of you that have had children participate in in in the activities that go on there. So, thank you very much. >> Thank you. >> All right. >> Okay. So, uh, quickly my report, uh, again, we want to, uh, welcome Miss Helen Hackett, our student liaison from Elizabeth and High School for her first meeting. We told her she only had 30 minutes to talk here in a minute. She had to squeeze it into 30 minutes, but uh, no, we're so happy for you to be here and we're looking forward to your contributions to the board. Just an update on um, athletic the athletic facility at the high school. Just to give you an idea of the progress being
027made, asphalt binder and curbing are all down at this point. The final asphalt topper should go on sometime next week. Uh the gym floor has been nailed down as of today. So there's still sanding, painting, and finishing that need to go on there. The weight room flooring is down. The weight equipment will be delivered on Monday and they'll start installation and that maybe a day day and a half to get that that get that wrapped up. So, just lots of cleaning, finish finishing up some site work, signage, and things like that. So, uh, as we move forward, we'll be looking for a ribbon cutting date, and I'll be getting in touch with you to let you all know, uh, some options that we have there. But things are things are about to wrap up. So,
028we're excited about the opportunity that's going to present for our students. Uh, also want to thank the city of Elizabethon for participating in our work-based learning opportunities for students. Uh, one of the things that you approved in the consent agenda was anou between us and the city uh where they have some opportunities for our students to work in some of the positions and jobs that they have within city government. So, we appreciate them partnering with us. You know, that's a win-win for both of us. It gives students an opportunity to explore some of those careers they may be interested in and it also helps the city with an extra set of hands there. So that's just one example of the many partnerships that we have across uh the region quite frankly of uh trying to
029provide opportunities for our students. So thank you very much for that Mr. Simmerly. Uh one other thing uh if you'll notice on the consent agenda there was an item you approved for uh K Cabota equipment purchases. Uh that will be paid for out of the ISM grant, the CTE grant that the governor provided a few years ago. that equipment will allow our agriculture maintenance students to earn uh credits there toward uh even a TCAT certification in that particular program. Uh we're purchasing a front-end loader, a side by side and um a zeroturn mower. So those three things. So the students will not only will have the opportunity to use those and and help us do things around the the school system, but then they'll in turn learn how to repair, you know, do maintenance and
030all those things on those pieces of equipment. So u that's going to be a great opportunity for students in that in that field. And as you know, Mr. Aan does a great job and really provides lots and lots of different opportunities for those students. And that's just one of the many programs that we have that u that afford those opportunities to students. So I just want to give you an update on that and again say thank you. And that's it for me. >> Thank you Mr. Vaness. Board member reports. Um don't know that we've had any trainings or anything? Anyone have anything that you It's kind of a little bit of a down time. It'll kick back up here as we go to the national conference. Anybody? All right. We'll move on to city council
031liaison report. Mr. Shimley, you got anything? >> You're going you yield yield. >> Now you have 35 minutes. You have 35 minutes. >> All right. So, and again officially a welcome to Miss Helen Hackett and we're glad you can be with us and it is your time to share. >> Thank you. I'm really grateful for the opportunity to be here and so far I've loved working with the school system and it's helped me appreciate how much work goes into the students and as a student you're doing a great job. I love the school. Okay, so today I got the opportunity to be part of a student and community-led assembly that was the first of its type this year and that went really well. I liked that we had community. We had someone from Chick-fil-A come
032and talk about things and we had students showcase their clubs >> and that was a really cool thing because students said they enjoyed getting a break from the regular schedule and getting involved and it's been a great year kicking off with the parking spots which finally comes to Dr. Mitten and I think it was a wild success. >> Yes, it was. >> Did you guys get to see them? Yeah, >> it was amazing. And we had our fall formal and we're getting ready for homecoming and it's just been a really fun year so far. >> Thank you. Anything you ever need, you let us know. Thank you. >> All right, it's time to move on to the regular agenda. First item, approve proposal between Field Turf USA and Elizabeth and City Schools to replace artificial
033turf in Citizens Bank Stadium for an amount not to exceed $650,000 utilizing Omnia Partners Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. Can I get a motion to approve? >> Okay, I'll take that as a motion. I'll take Mr. Dr. Lewis's as a second. All right. >> Okay. So you have a copy of that the proposal there in front of you. Uh again, we're going to pay for this out of a combination of things. We knew this day would come and so we've tried to when we had an opportunity put some money back. the bulk of that. Um if you remember last month, you approved um the um fund balance and some of those things we had designated and 60 600,000 of the do of the uh dollars needed for this project were already set aside. As you notice, it
034was somewhere around $648,000. So the remainder of that we'll use from either half cent sales tax or uh from uh undesated fund balance, one of the two. But again, we knew this day was coming. The original turf is now this is the 11th season of football we've played on it and it's truly a community field. It's not just Elizabeth and high school football. It's uh soccer. It's Milligan. It's TA Duggar sports that participate there. It's youth league. It's concerts. You name it. All all kinds of different things. And if if you remember, that's one of the things we talk about the stadium. We wanted to be a community um venue and it's certainly done that. Originally uh the warranty was for seven years and again we're in year 11. So it's been an absolutely uh
035wonderful product. Uh we've certainly got our money's worth out of it. Again, just all the use and the fact that we've made it through four more years on top of that. So we're basically this proposal is to put back the exact same turf that we put down 11 years ago. Just a few subtle design changes there. You can see just enough that when someone walks in, they're going to say something's different about the field. Uh biggest thing is there's some additional uh orange turf around the perimeter of the football field between the sideline and the what they call the media line. We're also going to go with the two-tone turf. It's basically every five years. It's or every five yards. It's uh gives that effect. you know, when you see people that really know how
036to mow their yards, you know, they'll have the dark and and light strife. That's essentially what this replicates. So, uh, if you approve this, uh, this evening, they should be able to do it over Christmas, which means by the soccer season in the spring, it would be completed and ready to go. So, again, it's been a tremendous asset to our community in so many different ways. It's been extremely durable, but time time is here to to consider replacing that. So, >> any questions? We were talking before. It is I think the probably the most used football, soccer, everything. Band band is there. So, it's it's used all the time and it has held up really well. Yes, it has. >> And it's an awfully nice facil field. >> All right. No more questions, no more
037conversation. Item is to approve proposal between Field Turf USA and Elizabeth and City Schools to replace artificial turf in Citizens Bank Stadium for an amount not to exceed $650,000 utilizing Omnia Partners Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. All those in favor say I. >> I. Any opposed? And there are none. All right. Uh, next item approved to ratify the creation of two full-time assistant positions to fulfill the required services of special ed education students at Westside and TA Duggar. Can I get a motion to approve? >> Motion to approve. >> A motion and a second. >> Second. All right. As you know, from time to time during the IEP process, the development of IEPs for students, uh sometime the team decides that there's the need for additional assistance for students. And when that happens, we immediately start looking
038at managing and meeting those requests. So that's why this particular one is a ratification because we didn't want to wait to provide the the student those needed services until the board meeting. So appreciate very much your consideration and approval of this item to meet the needs of students. >> Any comments or question? It's pretty much a yearly thing that we have this time of year. Yes. >> Okay. The items to approve to ratify the creation of two full-time assistant positions to fulfill the required services of special education students at Westside and TA Duggar. All those in favor say I. >> I. Any opposed? And there are none. Motion carries. Next item, approve first reading of board policy 5.109 evaluation and 6.600 student records. Can I get a motion? >> Motion >> and a second. >>
039Second. >> Okay. Thank you. So on evaluations 5.109. This is just some bookkeeping housekeeping things that we need to clean up. If you notice there on line seven, it refers to the TAP evaluation model, which we haven't used TAP in, embarrassed to say, many years. And so this is just cleaning up some language in this policy uh to to reflect the team evaluation model on policy 6.600. That may look familiar to you because we passed this back in July. After speaking with Miss Owen, board attorney, as we continue to navigate uh artificial intelligence and all of that, how that affects our students, everything from basically anything that you use uh online, anything you use the internet for. And in part of that process, you there are times that you have to share student information. And
040based on that, we want to make sure that we have language in the policy that allows us to make some of these entities considered um school personnel. And so the if you notice on the first page, the paragraph in red was in the old policy and we removed it uh based on the model policy from TSBA. But again, after consultation with Miss Owen, she encouraged us to put this back in to clean up the language on that. And those programs, as you can imagine, myself and Mr. Lancaster have spent tons and tons of time trying to navigate those uncertain waters and trying to do the best we can to protect our students as well as the system with different data sharing agreements and things like this. So, in a lot of that, we felt like
041we need to go back and add this paragraph in. >> Thank you for your time getting ready. We always appreciate Miss Owen. >> Yes. >> All right. The items to approve first reading of board policies 5.109 evaluation and 6.600 student records. All those in favor say I. I. Any opposed? And there are none. U last item. approve a joint resolution between the city of Elizabeth and the Elizabeth and Board of Education regarding the capital contributions for the 2025 and 2026 budget years for maintenance of effort purposes. Can I get a motion to approve? >> Moved. >> Okay, I'll take uh both of those. One is a motion, one is a second. You get those, Miss Cindy. All right. And okay, so this is uh you you've seen the resolution there in your packet. The city
042council approved this last Thursday at their meeting. Basically, this is essentially a housekeeping item. As you know, based on funding from the state for education, the the lo local fiscal body, they're required to meet what's called maintenance of effort. And basically it talks about the amount of funding they provide to us from year to year can't drop unless there are certain stipulations that happen there. So it kind of locks in that amount. Anytime that uh a city government like this provides some additional funding for us for capital improvements in order to make sure that that doesn't negatively impact their responsibility for maintenance of effort we need to approve a resolution similar to the one that you have in front of you. So, basically, it's just saying the generous contribution that they gave us to help
043us do all these capital projects was a one-time uh one-time funding for us for those and it does not affect maintenance of effort. So, we've never we've been doing this. Obviously, they've helped us with projects before, but now uh we've been told this is something we need to do. So, you may see these again in the future when they give us some more money. >> Yeah, we hope really soon. in there. >> I'm just kidding. But but it again, it's just a housekeeping thing and again we're very appreciative of of their continued support. >> Okay. Comments or questions? We do really appreciate as we've said many times the item is to approve a joint resolution between the city of Elizabeth and then the Elizabeth and Board of Education regarding the capital contributions for the 2025
044and 2026 budget years for maintenance of effort purposes. All those in favor say I >> I. Any opposed? And there are none. Uh the next regularly scheduled board meeting will be Thursday, October the 16th here in this boardroom 5:30. Do I have a motion to adjourn? >> Motion. >> Thank you all for being here. Y'all have a great evening. >> Thank you for the typhoons, too. Thank you.
