008is doing virtual learning and is now in third grade she is an exceptionally academically gifted child she is sociable and a time child who makes friends equally on paper report cards progress reports this year she has done well but i asked myself has she really at times through this time that she has been emotional distant and unmotivated she's a child who needs routines and she needs her friends and she needs her teachers in person not through as friends we are trying to make things as simple and consistent as possible but that is hard to do when she was bouncing from daycare to her mother-in-law to my sister-in-law until at home this is supposed to be a year where she is evaluated for ages she should be doing students she should be preparing for esg testing
009all of this has been taken from us we don't have a choice there should be a choice for working parents who cannot afford private schools and wish to remain in and support kazakhstan's soul my second job was supposed to start kindergarten at north ordinances this year we had registered him and he was even placed in a wonderful future class we were excited and then got the news of all virtual learning when there were very few faces that covered in tablet county at the time we decided to place nolan at a private school so that he could have a normal kindergarten experience kindergarten teachers have said five-year-old because of our tough decision to go to the private school route for him this year they have gone every single day since august and have not had one
010single case of tablet in their classroom this is with minimal social justice and no math his teacher is in her 70s and comfortable every day with no fear we value them and need them i understand their hesitation i was fearful ten months ago when i was called back to work as a dental hygienist which was rated number one most dangerous career during the day of the night sometimes i went back to work or i would have lost my job i see eight different people every day and their spirit literally slides in my face we wear masks heels gowns gloves we wash our hands we scream our patients when we take temperatures we had zero problems and no papers it's time to go back i will personally volunteer on my days off to help check temperatures
011help please helping your children or wearing their masks if that would be helpful to have [Music] take a look at what person dr schools have gone they have been wildly successful in creating a safe and effective in-person learning environment for their students they have options for online learning as i do believe everyone should have a choice i am sure they would be willing for pakistani board members our superintendent and our principals to come look at their very effective model all schools that aim to have students within the school and parts of which is how they learn that this means working with public health officials to get community spread of regards under control and then when it is possible to reopen the school for in-person learning layered safety measures can help keep students teachers and staff
012safe why in person school is best friendly state schools provide more than just academics for children and adolescents in addition to reading writing and math students learn social and emotional skills get exercise and have access to mental health and other support services for many children and adolescents schools are safe and stimulating places to be while parents are gardens or working for parents or guardians for working for many families schools will work here at kids get healthy meals access to the internet and other vital services and she's also listed a website to report children absolutely need to return to individual learning for their healthy development and well-being and so safety and schools and the community must be authority aap president louise saudi arabia said internationally we know that some children are really suffering without the support
013of in-person classroom experiences without a technology at home we need governments at the state and federal levels before organized funding needed safety accommodations such as including ventilation systems and providing personal protective equipment for teachers and staff let's not let our children suffer anymore good families are being forced to let classifying schools and we do not want to have to be one of them thank you amy myers and concerned here the next one is from classroom people turn 675 rocky ridge road leads first and she is right on behalf of the castle county association of educators for hospital and middle while plan b is a bad idea the students many parents are visualizing this plan as it returns to normal conditions it is far from that students must wear math all day except for eating stay
014six feet apart from other students and staff and example high schoolers stay in the same room all day lunch will be eaten in the classroom six feet apart as you know many of our students are parented by grandparents and other older adults we have to consider what will happen if these caregivers many of whom represent the best or only situation for that child to come feel aware we know that remote learning leaves many students behind but this is something we can address in reverse later death is not the science while we may be on the words of achieving immunity to our vaccines this will not be available to make staff any kind of form and it's not approved for people younger than 16. when i would ask my students if they plan to get to
015that scene when it becomes available most responded that they would not presumably this reflects the vehicle by adults in the household that prevents you being that it's not that serious but unfortunately probably not pain is an illness that can cause long-term and permanent damage to vital organs after recovery in yesterday health officials identified the first case of the house contagious uk variant of 719 in north carolina in the uk and in the eu as this variant has spread native counties have moved to rooney running despite having prioritized keeping schools open lindsay lauren a professor at vpi and top aeroscope of scientists said the new variant of making these things life without my plan decision person which would have been with math and with good ventilation anyway how good is the mental that ideal how likely
016are students and adults to wear masks correctly i'll prepare we will suspect to establish an extended dashboard and partner partnering with our health department to test and do contact traces these are recommendations for health professionals the staff many of us are in a congress category due to age or other factors teachers are the most giving people i know that that should not mean that we risk their lives and those of our families when there is another option while we know it is not perfect our recommendation is that we remain in planned parenthood not one of us students parent staff is extendable again that was from catherine templeton on behalf of the private county association of educators jeffrey nixon 375 blanche road blanche north carolina also is submitting a letter on behalf of the capitol county
017association of educators for elementary teachers elementary teachers from the capitol county association of educators have concerned about transition plan b our first concern is that there will be a loss of instructional time when students just now return to school we will have to spend multiple days going over procedures and expectations in the classroom as well as closing rules and employment for kindergarten students this will take even more time since most of them have never been in a classroom setting before not to mention how so many changes will dampen the love of school for these new learners the other possible wealth of time will be educated exposure and quarantine when students have to transition back and forth from remote deposit confusion will be caused for students and parents with the hybrid schedule students will only gain
01816 days of in-person instruction this and the constant threat of exposure is not worth the extra stress and loss of instruction for the students our second concern is student and staff health issues at this point the staff has not been vaccinated and we have not been given a date to be vaccinated many staff members or their family members have concerning health issues that put them at high risk of complications and cravings many students are raised by apparently staying with older family members coming back to school increases the risk of taking a lot of time to our community students of single parent families prevented left without further transitioning from hybrids will access the students and staff the first concerns and elder figures finally our concern is abuse study that has been cited as a reason to
019return to school it has many holes that have been overlooked to mention a few it was done voluntarily with contact tracing left up to the local health department and not within the actual school the coding numbers were much lower than they are currently and the study used mostly what the schools gave them instead of doing their own study within the school building one person getting sick or dying through this red clothing at a school is one too many then that was jeffrey martin on behalf of the elementary amanda mentioned 375 lanterns north carolina 27212 i teach exceptional students that students with special needs however they are unusually good outstanding so i like the term exceptional better i miss my students more than you could ever imagine seeing them over a computer screen is just not
020the same giving them a high vibe after they succeed at something that they have been found for you also this remote learning stuff is called screencastify fitness goguardian med puzzle download breakout extension finding just the right resource online or creating something from scratch my brain and my eyes hurt and i hate it but my children are safe while clothing is not found to be good for anyone the resource that has been completed completed on the effects of the people with disabilities is very alone according to a study from syracuse overall cases of overnight being in children with intellectual and developmental disabilities were higher in the zero to 17 age groups compared to those without these disabilities and children with developmental disabilities because she projected for over 16 times my life as adults she also referenced
021the website an article from massachusetts general hospital's down syndrome program states people with down syndrome or more at risk for serious complications from project not pain autism speech has advocated for all through the community to be among the first to receive access to this political protection because they know that this group will have difficulties if they get delivered for there is no vaccine approved for our students at this time there is more to free for the people who work with them let us get it to reduce the likelihood that we carry the illness to them there is much more damage before if we were not safe bringing these children back at this time and the nc code of efforts for teachers the educators should protect students from conditions that circumvent learning or are detrimental to
022the health and safety of students if my kids come back can you guarantee that i can keep them safe 20 miler 323 times ridge road dancing north carolina good evening my name is tommy myers and i am the parent of two sixth graders at billy i would like to voice my concerns about the children returning faith to faith i do not feel like it is a delightful thing to do at this time i am getting daily calls and personnel testing positive so why would you want children to respond scientists say that children are less likely than touching themselves however my girls have the body of an adult hope it does not check birth certificates can just get over them yes i understand we have the option of remaining virtual if the child is passing certain
023classes not every student can enjoy that to doing well virtually i think the decision to choose to send children back without being about their health with reckless and not a good look for kazakhstan and schools if schools return on the date that has been mentioned i will be pulling my girls out of the full system completely thank you for your time and the last one is from vicki robertson 193 nc 49 highway north prospect hill north carolina i don't think it should be mandatory for the students to go back during this stage of the community cases have increased since the last evaluation that we received we received multiple notices a week that a faculty and staff member has taught papers it's not logical to increase the exposure to the children that the hospital brings out
024to their homes there are many individuals with older family members on their home as well as sick individuals in the home even with the vaccine there has not been any evidence that it worked increasing the number of individuals in small spaces would not be the best at this time i will not be putting my child in any additional risk by disrupting a study that actually has been working in order to rush her back into a full setting i was on the door for the original rotational program that i have another perspective because i processed multiple desktops daily that have been due to take [Music] but this time we will go [Music] oh all in favor of the motion raise your hand [Music] discussion there's no discussion all in favor raise your hand close the same
025motion character [Music] the board has voted to move forward with plan d that then also said that you would reevaluate that decision at this board meeting look at the data and then make a determination whether to continue to move forward with plan b or to move with plan c uh as we move forward so what i have prepared for you is a powerpoint presentation and i believe it's going to be shared with the public that's doing as well and that um it does contain all the updated data i would like to share the past presentations we've included safety protocols procedures that will be in the school with the uh approved plan b those are still current and they're on the district website and previous presentations if anyone would like to review those as well but
026this powerpoint presentation is strictly updated data for your people ready so the first thing i'd like to share with you is um as you look at plan b and c following this i'd like to also discuss athletics but this will be separate from that on the agenda i have the coded data which will include because the county school district dates but also the school credit data then uh looking at our substitute and staff with data looking at survey feedback from parents and students looking at the data of the exact commercial advisory group looking at how we're seeing the care attack money as it relates and then what we're for remediation and support currently and the possibilities for the future for uh narrowing the gap to learning and then opening for discussion the next mod um
027is the townsville county data and of course you can see the source is the north carolina department of human services and i put it at the top of the screen because i know there's you know you hear about different sources of data which is you know which sometimes is contradicting and i don't really know contradicting this white word i think it's more of some maybe not being up today as other sources of data now we did speak with um the best source for current data and she said without a doubt the northwest carolina department of health and human services is the right place to find the most current up to date data and that it ends up saying every day around noon and that that is the source that we have been using um and
028we also asked um this is before we started the data you know when we are currently looking at the community cases [Music] uh the majority of the cases are from the community so just wanted to put that [Music] i believe that comes from the health department i cannot i can't give you exactly who reports it um you know here we have that there are 11 deaths and officials [Music] the deficit i mean who if they have procedures to report it to the health department okay but i i can share with you that the department of human services does report but on the chart that you can see in front of you we have just included the confirmed public cases of the county which um you can see three digit numbers uh each day each week
029and uh just in those 19 days we have 39 there's been some question about the positivity right for the county and if you look on the department of health and human services there's two different probability rights one side [Music] work system and again that is from the north carolina purposes and then there's the 12.5 positivity rate that um specifically counting and really it was the southern county too and it also shares the positive rate with that for north carolina so you ask what's the difference between year and you can see the difference in this is that it uses three networks um the case rate the percentage [Music] and they also going to say that this is used because they don't feel like one method system really provides a [Music] [Applause] [Music] and that is the
030rate that is there today and it's the percent policy that's based on the test that you know and so that test is reported um so that's the difference in the two but i will share with you um one is that we are critical and the other reflects that we are above the state average the next uh source of data and this is something you will not find on the department of health and human services because it relates to uh in our schools it relates to any given day what we might be faced with for uh educating the students if they're in the school we are keeping track of the month of the number of confirmed cases of our staff and but then also what is i think extremely important is the number of staff that
031are quarantined and are uh out of the classroom due to either having a firm case you know when you look at having enough subs [Music] and then we have 48 additional staffing you can [Music] this afternoon you know we have another positive test at open elements with that number in 269 and then 38 9 points so we have uh 48 so it's um it is significant and i know that we can put a lot of confirmed cases with what has not really been i think a number that's significant for the school system that's not in the industry to report for the county is that we have foreign um [Music] this the public that's viewing and participating in this or seeing the development and then to follow up with that that data is that you know
032we're only talking i've already talked about the 14 numbers and the number of positive cases uh that would keep staff members or futures out of um out of the building well that's in addition to um our current everyday um components you know um teachers and staff members that are on fmla league maternity league um there are also needs that are currently going on so in addition to the number they're quarantined or tested positive we have currently uh today five classroom teachers that i i've worked for families have to leave act and then a teacher assistant that sometimes the role of the students they work with they also require stuff um so that's another number that needs to be on top of that and of course if anyone is big for other reasons then it's added
033to it so we wanted to get a clear picture of what our current meetings are i would also like to share with you that um doing an excellent job training our current um virtual sub roles in the classroom and we're also you know have open deduction outside folks as well we have 21 uh substitute teachers that have been trained for virtual teaching and we are as soon as someone expressing [Music] and i know we've also looked at reports that um that talk about wanting to make sure that our students are back in school we want our students back in school but one of the first concerns is we have enough staffing that takes care of those [Music] for various reasons consider child care or for health reasons the next slide is um data from the
034survey we provided to the parents of regarding their students and we asked on uh divorce decisions during the plan d what is your preference would you like to come back part-time aa b schedule plan b [Music] which was interesting but i want you to look under the second bullet our principals uh reported that those who chose to return to school two days a week uh our principal reported that some of the parents expressed they chose that because they really didn't feel there was an option because they were typically flash drive students and they felt like they really didn't have an option to stay virtual um as opposed to going back to what they did they had better internet access they would have chosen to remain smaller or they could use the classroom the uh the
035next slide is data from the heat advisory meeting that i held last week and we uh we talked about several things we talked about um you know they worked with their own colleagues in the schools asked them about feedback from colleagues about what they felt like needed to occur moving forward we also talked about the reasons of the why of that decision and you can see the breakdown from the various schools of what the future advisor's advisory one of the things that was overwhelmingly clear was that they want the students back they want it back to normal they won't they miss their students they care about their students but they truly feel that it's not a safe environment for uh either themselves or college students they just feel like now is not the time to
036make a decision to go back to school part time so safety was the number one reason they even mentioned before they had any idea of the sub that we're playing but they said there's not enough stuff to fill our full middle school we don't feel like that would be advocated for our students to have and then the third they felt very strongly that the bouncing forward back and forth between virtual uh between remote and between schools along with the possible bouncing round of attempts in school today because you don't have [Music] and they felt strongly that what they are doing in their current environment is supporting instructional academic support for the students the students are growing and they felt that if you were going back and forth that was the definition and of course there
037was concern about the vaccine i mean you know there were many things with the top three and it was overwhelmingly i can't i cannot impress enough how all the people said they want the students back but they want to be a safe environment and then the next three pages i know the board of education has already reviewed this but it goes over the care act funding that we have received and how it has supported our current instructional remote instructions for the district and it does support many different avenues we hope to receive some additional funding as they have said from the state department that there's another wave of funding coming down from the gold department but i just want you to see how the detail amount that it does provide for our students from the
038devices to the wi-fi from the rangers to someone that started and then it goes down to um you know where the keys is in the classroom cameras they help support personal learning and you can see all this but i didn't want it shared so that anyone who has a question about how we are um using the care back function that is very transparent and then the next slide next to the last slide is um what are we doing to support students that in gaps in learning and so what i provided to you was what we're currently doing in schools to help support each gap and then what our future plan is to move forward with uh beyond this school year you can see you know currently we're all bringing in school and high school uh
039and if you're not um if you haven't used them or you're not happy with them i'm at your school with principle and certainly um but i'm moving forward this year to be able to find a grant that will allow us some summer staff programs for our students so that we can offer uh learning opportunities um uh high school offering more support and increased credit opportunities for our students there and again within the safe intervention time so we are looking at how we can uh help them student learning if there's gaps that we can provide that one-on-one support to get them where they need to be if they're not and again there's a lot more that we have discussed in the past regarding safety protocols and procedures but what i want to share with you today
040uh update on the data and what it looks like today for you to make a decision in order to continue with plan b moving forward or to continue with plans being offered and i will share when i was talking with the people jumping back and forth not knowing the future um how many actual school days thanks to you know there's a staggered entry on schedule there's february first or february 8th 15th and february 26th so you can count up around 26 days however that's not 26 all instructional day uh complimentary guns um and looking at you know the number of testing days it really looks at those grade levels called fourth grade has dod there's integrate testing and those integrated testing are usually the last 10 days of the school year so their events are
041taking away 10 days or two weeks they are for chancing but also the high school has about five days so again um so you're taking four days away from the elementary middle you're taking two more days from the hospital so it depends on the grade level and when they stagger start but anywhere from 25 to 24 or 18 to 24 days with actual facetime and that of course does not relate to any substitutes or out of school at our place and this is scheduled to end i think it's the 5th of february and whether the board chooses to go with plan b or plan c anyone who is teleworking will need to resubmit a request i guess the concern i have i'm looking at the numbers on this live um [Music] um um check with
042other districts to see how they're addressing child care and like everything else across the field of what they're offering some one district says we're not accepting child care as a reason for the family first form virus um the fnla i may not be able to play with the family first of the 80s they're not accepting it one said they're not even extending it um some are offering child care in the schools so it really is such a different decision based on individual needs every district any other questions or comments dr carter do you have a recommendation um yes or i do and um this has been probably the most difficult um recommendation i have ever made because if we i think both they benefit and i can't stress enough how much we want our students
043in school um they need to be in school we want them in school and i know there's so many concerns and issues but i also can't um i can't ignore the fact that there are so many concerns with safety and i know educators are very familiar with my blessed higher communities and i've shared it before that students can't learn if they're not safe and if you're in an environment where you feel you're unsafe it's very difficult to teach i know our teachers have worked diligently to um to um educate our students the best they can through virtual teaching learning and they have made bounds in uh takes them down and improving where we were at last i am recommending that the board continue to plan city and stay on planet 2 we've heard the superintendent's
044recommendation do i have a motion the stanley has made the motion is there a second because darwin has seconded the motion is any discussion [Music] numbers [Music] so and another thing i don't think i mean not all of these [Music] is any other comments and discussions all in favor of the motion raise your hand [Music] all of those the same motion carries unanimously thank you framework for return to athletics plan that is being shared and i would like to um to let you know that this was a plan that was developed by many people they athletic director at ui and the coaches um mr studs along with mr terrell all had input into creating this framework um the framework is uh just that um if the board would so choose to move in this direction
045uh i would like to say that you could go on i'd like to debate on the framework because if you are moving to allow athletics then there could be tweaks in this uh but and we'd like to change those little concerns as we go down the road that we may not know at this time but on the second page you can see a draft schedule and i know that there was concern brought up last time that if we did allow athletics that may not start until later i think it was um the 15th the 22nd and one of the concerns was that if you do allow athletics that um there's really no time you would be delaying it even further if you didn't allow the paper to work and conditioning to start a little earlier
046so with that um request i went back to the high school and that was an agreement that um there are some earlier days and i can't stress enough too that um if you would so choose to go this route that um there would be three and i can't stress enough script protocols for safety and the protocols would be agreed upon by the athletes um agreed uh to follow the coaches uh and parents and um would be signatures required and if anything was not followed it would be shut down at that point i cannot stress enough how important this for safety so i wanted to share this with you um but i also wanted to share with you that at the middle school we're also looking at the middle school of college starting athletics too uh
047the middle school is in the north central middle school conference and which is basically rockingham county and they are not holding middle school uh athletics at this time and said there would be no need to even consider noticeable athletics because going to play so at this time we do not have middle school athletics but i am bringing before you uh the drafts return to athletic plans in the high school and um the conference they're at they're in uh there's only one school the north colossal of math that is not hulk in sports um we did uh reach out to the other schools to look at their procedures and protocols we reached out to um i think durham that it's not in plan c but they are successfully holding athletics and i think the con of
048thread in all those is the strict i can't again stress that enough adherence to uh procedures and uh protocols and um you know and they said you know when people ask fire them on plan c but choosing to allow athletic there were several reasons but the main reason was because it's a smaller population students have the choice to go and not go and that they are following such quick protocol because they want to be there um you know and i have to say if you are you can do that that um rather than having sports inside other than wrestling these uh spring sports will be outside which is um you know i do have uh reservations about this um i would um i have heard some some valid concerns of [Music] don't allow school but
049um that will allow sports but it is a different setting that the board approve the um dual hospital hospital athletic startup with under strict guidelines and under this framework and that if it's not here to be right by or you know go there and that's what being warned they're not sticking to the heart that it's god when you think you know if we find someone not adhering to the mask [Music] are we just shutting that down and when you talk about you know this is just a draft and there's human stuff a need because they're not in it and it's new and so once they uh start the um you know possible athletics then they can see that there's some other music they might need but i agree with the board before sharing the dates
050though would be correct right with blackboard so are all the coaches and assistant coaches are they on board forward to begin athletics uh they helped create this framework i cannot guarantee that every uh coach has said yes i will coach and that's also a concern because they have a coaching meeting with which i think that's when the board makes the decisions and they will make sure that either they have safe or they don't have a touch but as far as creating the one thing that isn't with it and what about substitution they said that someone did get coded that was a coach is that the secret and there's there's procedures in here for every safety protocol and if it's not detailed then they will be selling out but again it would be responsible that we
051would expect that quarantine one nice question because she said that all coaches have not anticipated you know it if they don't have to coach them [Music] um at this time when we spoke with um other schools that had middle school athletics they were not offering anything and i think that's what i would recommend coming directly for them but i think that at this time i recommend that the board approves moving forward with portland senior high school athletics [Music] the stanley has made the motion is there a second second there's nothing in the second immersion any discussion which matters couple things [Music] is [Music] football is probably the hardest one [Music] uh [Music] you know i think the athletes have been before i think they they said you know they were willing to follow all the
052fake and throat protocols there's a difference in the thing and being able to do it but i hope they will if voted that way that they follow exactly the way it is and knowing full well that they don't that you know that sport is over ms darling [Music] from my is the majority of coaches because they did help support you know and create this framework uh were in agreement but until they knew what direction the boards were allowed they didn't want to need they didn't really have seek any commitment from anyone um so i can't say that everyone has committed that i think there was a lot of positive conversation i'm hoping to be able to coach but this week we'll know for certain one of the things i would like to bring out is
053and usually the game the game is what pays for the referees and um and some districts that are having fortunate live streams have been charging ten dollars you know apparent in order to help fund um the referees on their own and so those are things that we're going to look into i know there's one company we've heard of that has been doing this in some other districts so we're certainly going to look to because we haven't had a chance to you know this is a draft the parents will also need you know will leave these guidelines and how to find these firelines that will be our parent meeting just wanted to know what that procedure would be um the first thing that will happen is uh the meeting with the coaches this week the be
054hospital an athlete in parent meetings the first thing is to make sure the coaches all agree and because it starts safely starts with them and then once we have their signature agreed to district protocols they'll be parent and athlete meetings and everyone's fine so there's no misunderstanding of what the procedures and expectations are and if someone does not follow it then you know it's clear that wow [Music] supposedly we have not heard anything [Music] the high school from the administration and from the athletic director if you're a coach if you're broomfield and you've got all these ball players out there it's hard to monitor everything you're excited about testing i fully expect and i hope there's some type of sign off sheet that either the athletic director or the administration is monitoring not every practice
055all day long but they monitor from time to time these practices i don't want just the coaches to be the one to turn themselves in they need to be monitored my administration is um yeah any other questions or comments if not all in favor educate by raising your hand hold on [Music] motion carry thank you did you sustain or whatever you did here oh okay i'm sorry i didn't see your hand that's why i was gone [Music] two or five to um the community foundation yes i'm sorry we need a motion to bring the california school because your phone back to them [Music] foundation and i just shared some information that you had asked for one being current scholarship and um from schools that actually are held here and dispersed and one of the questions
056asked was how many how much confirmation do we receive from the community prepared scholarship and you can see um on that last sheet from these three sheets that there's only been one donation of 500 and that was from the scholarship owner themselves to make sure that there was a 500 actually paid out i did uh based on the conversation with the last work session through a q a of um the community foundation versus a local community and uh just put that in there you may have some other questions and uh responses but i have a copy of those q a's in there so it's really up to your discussion [Music] and i have to say my my biggest concern was that the money wouldn't get donated if it was just private you know with the
057school system and this information that i have reviewed i mean that just got a hole in that i have called about it i've looked over all this material and i really believe that we would be able to serve more students provide scholarship money more students for a longer period of time with the foundation i voted against this work session and i voted against it because i was concerned about the money but this can be placed on the website and make it easy for people who want to donate to just see this scholarship fund so that's my discussion is any other [Music] questions the reason i'm changing my vote is i was concerned that with the foundation you would not get as much donation as the one the ones that are local now i i thought
058that was her getting donations but the donations are not there for the ones that we have now and i'm looking at the interest that we will draw and we wouldn't have to touch the base amount and still have enough to give out a scholarship every year but we knew that it works only eighteen hundred said about all the years i don't think something that ain't changing but fifty thousand dollars eighteen hundred and fifty five dollars if donations [Music] a lot of people don't know what they can contribute to some people think that the scholarship wants to stay as gay and you know what be smart take that 269 thousand dollars there for that foundation get a whole lot of money but we never really got to that point um died in the band that was
059six thousand dollars and payout was good but once he gave out that was the end of it i don't know why i'm still here but that's what happened to that scholarship that was uh that happened back in [Music] about was that if we're not making that much interest that we're taking from the president and we're going to end up having to do a fundraiser or something along those lines to continue to keep money in there going with the foundation we are getting enough money to do with what we have we are getting enough money to have a nice scholarship for students and if we give additional funds to the principal then we would you know give more than one student a year but i see it lasting a lot longer that's that's my reason i
060understand just from you know recently i had no like the clue so we need to start with our counselors for these scholarships here i i probably myself and my son applied for one of these i had no clue about this so that's another factor we need to work on doing you might have the same experience do you know anything about people maybe you have to set up better they are not part of the foundation that's correct so we do have some scholarships that working it's not part of the foundation that we could set up uh you know we gotta do the rubik's we gotta do the work then you know why not um i see what you're talking about with yield but also i think that we could you know we've got to do the
061work we might as well maintain the money instead of putting it into the other organization my understanding is the only word [Music] the only work that we would have to do having a committee set up the rules so that we know what the qualifications are for that scholarship once that's done then that's what we use each year to make them you know big or qualify for that scholarship we wouldn't have to go through a community that went through all of those we wouldn't have to have a committee the foundation would do but when you look at that back page and you see the interest that it was uh our scholarship earned 140 but they paid out 500. you know so they're constantly either gonna eventually run out or they're gonna have to move money and
062you know it's interesting to stay away that they are and just use it as an example the the again at the bottom they pay that only came out 16 but the interest is 65 but you know it's not a huge scholarship so that's why i wanted to go that way to sustain it as long as we possibly can what well you know i was just thinking well commissioners pay for 50 000 and for us to use that scholarship and even if we gave two scholarships uh a thousand dollars it'll be 24 years they may give us more money to add to that um so that was you know that they wanted us to that we would be in charge of it as opposed to putting into a foundation that was my dream i'll go back
063to what i said in the work session last week i realized the meal i understand that i found it but what i'm saying is just to give you an example the scholarship i've been doing last time i've been going one year it's enough money to do 10 more years if i choose to put some more money in this or i can just let it down because i know what it means when it first started in 1989 the interest paid the solitude that doesn't happen anymore i have to put money back in i'm not going to be here forever neither the scholarship won't be here forever but my point was that the commissioners gave us this money i i think it's something we should do ourselves hopefully they will give us more now when i got
064that call from sterling carla and nate hall they were together they said what about if we give you this you know i ain't gonna say no don't give it to him that wasn't no one's giving up the supplement you're not gonna turn 5000 down but what i'm saying is once we do this if we go with the foundation once the committee however we do it does it rub it and you're done with that they make decisions there's 12 people on that committee and you can make all the stipulations you want that's people at the high school have to be whatever education or whatever but it's out of your hands dude but like the says if you did the 5000 luckily you're going to get a little over 100 i understand that that's that's economical but
065that was my reason before yesterday because i thought it was something we should do locally uh the commission gave it to us uh and even at one point with 1.25 the reason they tried that that paid their staff those directors not the directors but the office staff and the director the people on the committee they don't get paid i think it's like 12 of them that's what kind they have two people um and i mean i'm gonna feel good before but i didn't think it should be something to be done [Music] and the way i look at it too is that the commissioners do give us additional money to go into this scholarship fund that means that we have instead of one student maybe receiving a scholarship a year we need to know what to
066do [Music] okay explain to me the difference between just that look at me going to be if we go to the dan river or what the community is going to be if we know okay my understanding is this is if we do it locally we will set up the guidelines which we have to do regardless of [Music] qualifications to apply for that scholarship if it's local then the committee a committee not maybe the same committee but a committee would have to receive the application that'll make sure that the person qualified go over them make a decision and announce and most likely that community is going to be uh casual county residents with no students right and who would [Music] is but that's where they got them [Music] and hopefully looking at something [Music] um issue
067after scholarships wrong and hopefully initially before for more money well just like you play if or someone died or something like that we wanted to give a donation donations can be made to the scholarship fund at any time that's what people twice donations can be made at any time to scholarship so you know anyone can give a donation to the scholarship from that either or even right so i mean you know justice like i said we have to do the rubik's cube [Music] mr miller is that [Music] um [Music] if we earn 1800 [Music] and i think that would be good stewards of the money you know dr carter do you have a recommendation um based on the yield and i have to say not only is it the higher amount of yield that the
068foundation uh would provide but also this could be it's this could be a legacy to move on for down the road for kids that i haven't heard of school yet that the scholarship would be available for um at the current percent so my recommendation was to look at [Music] motion has been made so i have a second second all in favor raise your hand hold both motion passes four and three [Music] whereas kesley and cook everett was born on june 10 1957 and resided at 47 35 walters providence north carolina 27315 at the time of death on january 2021 and whereas pastor everett was a faithful and loving daughter wife mother and friend and her family's welfare was a major and constant concern and whereas pastor evan was a lifelong member of congress after the
069church and most recently attended union church she was a faithful and dedicated member of inspired and rescued latest auxiliary and was officially known as the designated banana clinton baker whereas pastor edwards was a playful and normal employer of campbell county school with 23 years of service she was employed in the child nutrition department and serve meals along with a firmer smile and pleasant demeanor to many students throughout castle county schools she will be feeling missed and never forgotten by her family and friends and will be remembered for her commitment to education and being known for her benevolence and service heart to children and now therefore me is involved at the castle county board of education wishes to honor the members of plastic beverage and expresses its symptoms to her family by causing a conqueror of
070this resolution to be spread upon the official menace of the board of education and impossible forwarding to the family this is the 25th day of january so i have a motion does this take place in an official world [Music] we've never [Music] okay so we have a motion and a second all in favor on your hand close the same under the superintendent update i just wanted to share that i have spoken with mr powell uh about getting an update on mark vance's senior high school construction project and just to let the public know as well that he has medical concerns and he assures us that he feels like he will be feeling uh better and he'll be able to give that report to the board in february i'm very glad he has someone that he
