002ap at by you've heard the superintendent's recommendation do i have a motion what's the battle has made motion is there a second there's something seconds of motion is there any discussion okay any other discussion it's not all in favor raise your hand oppose the same motion carry unanimously yes i have one more request a recommendation um the board hasn't passed this vote is no tail working which i would like to continue with however i would like the board to allow an exception for that and that would be based upon if we need to close either a classroom shut down a classroom or a hallway or a school due to coving we would novel instruction to stop so at that point we would uh allow taylor working because we closed down a classroom hallway or school
003i would like that exception so i'm recommending those exceptions to no telemarketing you've heard the superintendent's recommendation do i have a motion his husband has made the motion is there a second this black will accept this emotion is there any discussion there's no discussion all in favor raise your hand oppose the same very unanimously thank you on at the last board meeting but um i wanted to share with you a copy of the revised agreement with the community foundation and um just as one last look and like i think you have voted on it already i just wanted to share that with you so you would have a copy of the final fun agreement moving forward just wanted to also share with you on uh the next uh well not the next but you have
004uh looking ahead you have a board meeting on april the 12th and if we look at the april meeting due to the spring break as you have in the past knowing that that's coming off of spring break there's not a lot of uh information that would occur when everyone feels board meeting in april and uh and made it a kind of in-between meeting and didn't know if he wanted to consider that for abel because he didn't need to that out with the believe or if you want to keep it as it is there just will not be any if any just very little information on the play because you can just be coming off my feeling is if we if if we don't have that meeting if we postpone that meeting and move it later
005then it only gives us a week or a week and a half maybe before our next meeting so i would suggest that we cancel the april 12 meeting do we need a work session put it in here anywhere we're going to discuss the work session after this could that be a time that the schools present you know what's the desire someone might make a motion a lot of principals you're making a motion that we use the april 12 meeting to have the principal share information i don't think if you're not going to change it don't think you need that motivation okay the only thing that's on the agenda the only thing that will be on the agenda will be the principal sharing [Music] information i don't know what's what's been happening here's the directors come
006and bring us information during that meeting curriculum just give us you know updates thank you a good information session okay there's a consensus of the board to have a director's report to us how things are going at the april 12 meeting at nine o'clock and that's the only payment will be on the agenda consensus this consensus so you had the principles coming in dr carter on the 26th if we have other business and all six persons if you'll please look at your agenda on the [Music] if the board doesn't mind is that agreeable that i can split them up if so okay is there any reason why someone could not talk like why [Music] okay [Music] uh so i don't know okay the other item is a work session as you know uh dr carter
007mentioned that she and mrs chandler could meet with us on the 15th so that we can prioritize the budget we're going to present to the commissioners and we need a work session to do that we were thinking about the 15th and 9 o'clock does anybody have a problem with it being at 2 o'clock next monday at two o'clock i'll make a motion that our work session be march the 15th at two o'clock we have a motion that the work session will be monday is there any discussion are we going to have anything to look at prior to this session yes we have time that we'll send out prior to that okay any other comments all in favor of the work session to be held monday march 15th at 2 o'clock raise your hand close the
008same remember maybe maybe i'm not remembering wrong but in the beginning of school did we did we vote on buying some workbooks i had a question to come up to me are we going to buy our workbook math workbooks we have um we are using the prime books and we have resources and then we said that anyone who needed that you know for a tutorial you know we would look into it what we're not doing though is buying books uh because there's not like this page to that page to this page every day as well um but if if a school sip team decides that they need any support they can certainly look into those resources and my understanding is they fall books but to buy class that for students to have in addition to
009all the things we purchased for online as well would be double the amount of cost all right thank you mrs blackwell dr carter what is the uh number of students in attendance uh versus virtual right now um i've asked mr mckinnon to be prepared to get that for me um he was going to have that uh to me at the end of the week but found out that a couple teachers had coded because there's different codes now because there's a code for a virtual and that's different from what they had been coding so now that for back school there's even [Music] have there been any major problems with the opening with students oh uh it's actually been a very smooth transition uh we you know i would say that though you um you know a
010small number of transition going back but it was just a upbeat atmosphere students were excited staff was excited i think it was just a good mirage for everyone but i think uh in addition to that it was so important that the time could not have been better for the board to make that decision to transition back because of the numbers reduced in capital counting and then having vaccines for the staff the friday before so things just fell in place and we had less quarantine numbers in our schools and so i i would like to thank the lord for your time of approval because i think that just everything is all in place that people feel safe and we're taking those extra precautions and uh it's just i'm not going to it's a very smooth opening
011do you have any vaccine numbers for staff that took vaccines um [Music] i would have to verify but i believe it was 170 uh that took it but others had already taken it and we don't have that information where you might have gone on the side and taking it for one reason or another but i believe and i may be wrong you need to correct me on that but i believe because he has those numbers believe it was around 170 that actually took it back in fact i was going to ask that update on that exactly well we didn't have two things do we have another date that staff would be offered to take the vaccine if they were uh foreign and my other question was um so we have a school nurse at every
012school now are they there from that time except right now you know they're still collaborating with the health department so they're approved to help with math vaccinations especially on these days that they've had several big events planned and so our nurses are pulled for those and but then our own call as well so we have no it's no reason why nurses have to leave to go to another school they just focus at that one school ground besides going today unless there's an issue that they need to address we have a position for one social worker for the district um and that's one of the things that i'll be discussing at the work session as well as a dropout provision specialist thanks this is concerning our uh walkthrough was still on track with the construction yes
013as of right now however speaking with bill powell there has been concerns with the rainy day uh that we've had so much rain and uh and i know he he shared um when he spoke to i think the commissioners that were in that area now that um any any more inclement whatever any kind could definitely push back the opening and so we're meeting this week to just talk about what if uh because you know who knows what might happen between here and august so you know we've also got to schedule uh the setup moving in the moving out there's so many different pieces that revolve around that that gate is solid so we're going to have like different plans should there be inclement weather this month this is the opening this is the next opening
014and and just kind of have a standard plan just planning ahead mr carter i'd like to know and i hope other board members would want to know when our high school makes a decision about athletics in terms of fan participation to get those procedures and also we need to let the public know that that's a decision by the school it's not the school board but i like to have that because i may want to go to a game but as soon as they make those decisions everybody's doing something different yeah and with baseball coming up in softball and soccer i just like to know at the moment when somebody asked me you know these are the procedures that we'll utilize um i can share with you that um i appreciable and being patient as the
015first two games opened up and uh as i had shared with several that um it was our first our first um athletic contest that would allow um you know our protocols to be made sure they were put in place and that they were followed so we started with a very small number but now that we have uh cameras in place and uh we have i think mr stokes was making sure that he has a um online ticket program process in place if there's no money exchange uh coming up we feel like we can open it up to quite a few more fans so he is working on that and he hopes to have that ready either today or tomorrow it all goes well and then we can send it out because once we start opening
016up it would be for all sports that we would have that that same procedure but we're very excited about the camera opportunities too um where if you were if you buy i think it's don't plug for 10 or 11 and you can watch all the games uh from your home instead of going out if you felt like he did not want to be there in person and then we would have a certainly enlarged increased number of fans that couldn't uh attend making sure that we're still following protocol and valve bonds but then also the possibility of and many districts are doing this well as well purchasing your tickets ahead of time for an online system so that there's no money exchange uh at the gate gator so all those things will need to be out
017far in advance for people to know that and i know they were working on it at the end of last week but they were very excited about the process and how well it went and um hope to just build on that moving forward but as soon as we know we will certainly have that out all right just one other caveat to that some systems are not allowing visiting fans that needs to be looked at if that's what we decide to do it needs to be relayed to the other team because people tend to get upset about that um well like for example school aide allows fans both ways school a b does not allow so all that needs to be in consideration because people show up it's just like this past weekend had basketball state
018championships and they were x number of tickets per school and they played down in randolph county it went well you can see how he was stacked in the gyms and protocol needs media so people will know and they don't have to wonder can i go this game or can i not go i can share the past two games we'll you know the small numbers to make sure we have you know procedures in place i was just our athletes that were allowed two tickets and then the second game i think we agreed that the coaches still know no visitors at that point but they are at this time looking at opening up a certain number for visitors and then certainly a larger number for home thing and then a certain number for staff as well so
019they're they're looking at increasing those so it just includes someone from every component i hope that we look into to make sure that scout will be one of the visitors because i kind of watched the game there's no way a scout could if i'm scouting one kid i want to come and watch that one kid watching on the videos to me is not enough and i don't want that kid to lose the scholarship because of scouts having to watch media so i think that's something that we can look into i i did uh mention the scenario similar to that and my understanding is that the scout goes through the coach and the aid and they accommodate you know i think during tobin there was a difference you know during the restrictions of no one's going
020uh to any any games any sporting events there were restrictions but now it's certainly more open thank you ms garland one so i'll be looking at how he will do graduation this time my understanding is mr stokes is getting information on that now i think i think you put out a survey um about graduation from the community it just kind of gives you feedback from there any other board member observations any other business it's not we need a motion to adjourn mr chairman remember the motion that we are joining mrs garland has made the motion to adjourn as barely a second motion any discussion it's not all in favor of your hand
