001[Applause] foreign so okay we're back in open session now dr carter do you have a recommendation about personnel yes i'd like to recommend the personnel listing as presented to the board you've heard the recommendation of the superintendent do i have a motion so moved ms garland has made a motion to accept the personnel list is there a second there's beggarly seconds of motion is there any discussion or comments all in favor raise your hand oppose the same motion carries uh communications dr carter i have a couple things first i'd like to wish everyone a happy spring break and easter that's coming up very soon and i think the staff is very excited about having a break as well as the students the directors are uh lined up and have a schedule to present to the
002board at the nine o'clock board meeting on the 12th and i've already sent their schedule to them and basically i've asked them to uh just present to the board you know their role who's in their department what their goals are as far as the department what's the things that they're most proud of or some areas of focus and because of the time uh i'm i'm asking that the board either send me questions ahead or wait until afterwards and they can respond to the whole board as a whole so that it will move in a you know a orderly fashion that day and not get tied up if that's possible because also at that meeting we hope to bring the the draft budget that that discussed to you and we'll send that to you before in
003fact maybe this week if not definitely next week so that you can have it over the spring break to look at and then we'll bring in that draft budget to the commissioners to you uh on the 12th as well okay what directors are going to be here uh all the directors that's why i hoping to have it you know in a lineup that it won't be such a lengthy time i told them not to exceed 15 10 to 15 minutes and just explain what they do and that way if you have questions we can certainly answer them and send them to the whole board if that's agreeable that agreeable with everybody that we just we have questions we submit them and then they'll respond to all of us in email ms michael because that would
004be the first time for me listening to some of them i would like to be able to after they do a presentation if everybody does the presentation if i have some questions i would like to be able to ask those questions as opposed to submitted i don't know what i want to ask that this it may be some information that they may give that i may have a question after it is that what you're saying after the presentation yeah after the presentation i agree right right after the presentation i would like to be able to ask questions absolutely before after but the reason for doing that so that they can present and then move on to their job that day and then the next direct can come in so it would be you know not
005a fast but at least it would be a timely uh schedule so any questions that come up you want us to write down i can or i can give you some notepads with questions on you can jot down and we can have them all answered and send out to the board as a whole if that's possible so you don't want us to interact well that's what i'm asking if you do uh it i mean it's fine with me i just need to tell them because um it could make it a longer day and and the schedule off but again whatever you'd like i would like to personally i would like to be able to interact i i think if they're going to do a presentation we should be able to ask questions at that particular
006time after they finish their presentation you know we it just depends on how you want to do that but i think we should be able to personally i'd like to be able to ask questions during the session i don't know about any other board members i agree if you want to split up the directors and not do a ball at one time right you know think 15 minutes a piece is enough well um i'm just thinking that this time they're just giving us an overview of what's happening and then you know we got all these other meetings to do as well but this time we're just getting for information and you know sometimes we just may have a question clarification question so and then maybe they can get back if they don't have that answer
007immediately yes all right anybody else uh yeah if it's a long involved question i would say let's let them present you know send it to us in an email to everybody but if it's just questions that they can answer right then and there so that it doesn't take all night and keep them all on me all day all right other communications the spring law conference we're going to do here if if you can it's going to be connie is going to have it set up here so we can come in if you can't we understand but um [Music] ms garland's not coming everybody else here i don't know about miss stanley but we were going to come except miss begley was going to come for one day but she couldn't for the next right i'm
008checking on that second day miss connie i'll let you know too i might be able to able to come for one day i'll let you know probably april tomorrow 19th i mean the 29th of february 29th 30th monday and tuesday thursday friday friday thursday and friday 29th and 30th of april first and friday yeah okay both days i'll be there thank you and may the fourth course is our master board training um okay board member observations any court members have any comments you'd like to make mr battle two things dr carlos we gonna move from six feet to three feet uh right now we're staying at six foot uh if if uh there is a change we can come back to the board but um there's a lot of controversy in the three foot and
009i don't think our staff is ready yet and i think we are we are in a good place right now okay probably by the end of this week could you supply us with what everybody's doing uh what i mean by that is how many students are virtual how many are in uh the plans that we're using uh because all everybody's back now that wanted to come back is that right yes um i've provided that in the world i saw that but i'm talking about an update this coming weekend when you do your weekly update update from that chart right okay you can do that with your weekly update you're saying like last on friday i said this many's in in one to one i mean this is many or in flash drive this many are
010virtual this many is in person at each school correct and so you like same thing but same thing this week just updated this coming weekend ms blackwell the testing schedule is at in place and pants getting ready especially for the high school notifications i know it's moving quickly after spring break it'll be may so testing's going as scheduled we're still waiting to find out if um if they're going to do anything with the accountability with with the test right now everything is scheduled to to occur the only thing that's been changed or deleted has been the 95 percent participation rate any other observations if not uh miss blackwell i read the article i think it's a high school teacher that's doing something um that was asking for donations uh i think it was at the
011high school english teacher doing that on malcolm it was nice to read some positive and uh information and uh about the students and what the teacher is doing and asking for the community environment i thought that was really good there's a lot of great things going on in the schools and um each week there'll be some things that are shared in the paper so if you want to do or if someone wants to do a donation or what do you bring it to the center office how is that supposed to be done from the community foundation or that would be to reach out to the high school and to share that in that direction okay any other observations if not i need a motion to adjourn this vaguely makes a motion to adjourn this is
012our second there's blackwell seconds of motion is any discussions or comments all in favor indicate by raising your hand above
