And for anyone else that needs one, we have extras. Excuse me. I'm sorry. Um, the Edgecomb United appreciation and education forum. We will be celebrating and appreciating residents, community advocates, elected officials. Excuse me. This is all on the choice
005of map C for schoolboard electoral districts in Edgecom County. We will be updating residents on the state of Edgecom County public schools after the county line merger and we will offer community experiences, take questions and any feedback. The doors for this event will open at 5:30 p.m. for registration. Food will be provided. We need everybody to please RSVP by the 19th of this month.

The date for this is Tuesday, September 30th, 2025 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Thorns Chapel Church in Rocky Mount in the Fellowship Hall and that is at 1624 Windsor Drive in Rocky Mount and this is hosted by the Edgecomb Community Redistricting Working Group. We have sent invitations to all of the members and we hope that you all will RSVP and attend. Thank you. [Music] >> Next, Natalie Oi. [Music] Good evening, Dr. Wilson, board members, and those present. It is my honor to speak before you today, and I am very excited about your support of the Edge County Community Red u redistricting working group and our efforts to process and lead up to the adoption of map C. And we want to build
007on that momentum. And for this reason, we want to recommend that Superintendent Brian pilot a fifth advisory committee separate from the policy that is already under consideration. This fifth committee would be the county public schools community advisory committee to support both community, parent, and youth engagement. We believe that active community engagement will enhance parent, family and community engagement with the schools and Edgecom County Public Schools community advisory committee is one way to seize this momentum after a pilot year. It is our hope that such a committee could be formally added to the advisory committee policy. We would like the community advisory committee to focus on the following. One include edgecom community residents actively involved and connected to community and civic organizations, business networks, or faith-based organizations who can enhance community, parent and youth engagement. Two,
008community advisory committee members can be recommended to the superintendent for appointment from each school and from each board member from their new districts. and also the superintendent should have several appointments. Three, there should also be some mechanism for community residents and organizations and other advisory groups to recommend community advisory members for consideration. Four, community advisory members could become proficient at the school governance process. two, the unwritten rules about how to get things done at Enshone County Public Schools. Three, the budget and budget process. And four, the school accountability and school performance data and improvement goals. And most importantly, what the community residents can do to make Echo County Public Schools students, faculty, staff, board, and community successful. Number five, and we will surely think of more as our working group continues considering this matter and
009learns more about all of these issues. To repeat the famous Nelson Mandela quote, education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world and I would add to change our community for the better and the brightest future that we can imagine. Hi. >> Thank you. [Music] >> Next, Angela Bryant. [Music] >> Good evening, superintendent, board members. Happy to be back here with you again and not nervous about what way you going to vote and and good evening everyone and I'm here for the community redistricting working group and my co-coordinator Sue Perry Cole could not be here with us tonight. Uh we are focusing now after map C we're focusing on how to enhance community engagement with the board and we really appreciate certain things that are already moving forward. Attendant agreeing
010to put the board meeting packets on the website in advance of the meeting so we can prepare for public comment and have something on point to say to you and to um follow the meeting in person and online. Uh we also want to learn how to find and catch the notice of comm committee meetings online and to know how to find these things and when they will be there since the committees don't meet on a regular basis and we really need to know a list of what the board committees are so we know what we're looking you know we know what to look for. The superintendent has already indicated that he intends to use the sunshine list idea and that we use during the redistricting process to allow people who want engagement with the school
011system and board to get meeting notices, other public notices, quote unquote, telling the public we want you engaged and telling us what you want us to know so we can act accordingly. So, we want to thank you so much for all of those ideas. And finally, we just need a community process to understand the new school accountability and performance information so that we can uh know how to use that in a way that can be helpful to you and in a way to understand what is our role in helping to improve performance and accountability and and what can we do. So, thank you so much for your commitment to community engagement and we are here to serve. Thank you. Oh, did I say my name? Angela Bryan, 717 West, Rocky Mountain, North Carolina in occupied
012Edgecom County. All right. >> Okay. Miss Angel. [Music] >> Okay. Next is Marcia Williams. >> You got it. Good evening, chair, board members, and superintendent and all the guests. My name is Marcia Moy Williams and I serve as a local president for Edgecom County Association of Educators. I also serve as an MCL at the Koker Wembley Elementary School. I'm here tonight with two concerns, urgent concerns. The first is the request that I submitted to the superintendent about my full-time release. Across North Carolina, districts approve professional leave so elective union leaders can build educator voice and advocacy with the union covering the cost, complete cost. Edgecomb should be proud to have been chosen for this investment. It is a sign of our county's importance in this statewide movement that has taken place. In fact, NCE has
013no known record of ever denying an elected official of the union to be approved for this leave. Examples of school district with members who serve for their full-time release is Asheville, Cumberland County, Forsight County, Durham County, Wake County, Bunkham County, and Guilford County. Why should they benefit from the statewide union investment but not us? So, I'm urging you tonight to reconsider that and don't let Edge Cone be the outliner. My second thing with urgency tonight is the advisory policy that was put forth and read previously. An advisory group where administration handpicks members or limited to teachers of the year is not real representation that silences staff and cuts out the very people who keep schools running. Policy made about us without us miss the reality of what's happening on our day-to-day classrooms and campuses and
014needs of our everyday students. We need democracy, not window dressing to truly serve our community. Educators representing staff must be chosen by staff, not appointed from the top down. That's why we put forth a proposal with the meet and confer, which was a policy that was going to be that's working in Asheville and Durham and states where we know that things like collective bargaining has been banned. Let's be clear, North Carolina outlaw outlawed collective bargaining, right? But we also know that was during what? Jim Crow era, >> right? Because there were too many folks using their voice wanting to demand change, wanting to organize. We have the chance to partially undo some of that same thing by providing justice to our public school workers here at EdgeCome, allowing them to have a voice on who's
015representing them. I urge you two things. One, grant me a further a further audience where I can present additional information on the meet and confer as well as additional information on the full-time release. Let's work together and give educators a real democratic seat at the table because ultimately students need will be best met and their learning conditions improved when the staff, the board, the superintendent and all district leaders. We work together every single day. We have real authentic democratic input. That's all that we're asking. Thank you. [Applause] Mr. James Ren. >> How y'all doing? >> Fine. >> Good evening board members and Dr. Brian. My name is James Ren, 704 NC 97 East in Leot, 51 precinct chair, past president of Camo U 150 at the Cummins Rocky Mountain Engine Plant, vice president of the
016community empowerment alliance, and member of the Down East Workers Assembly. I stand tonight to support the Edgecom chapter of NCE's request for his elected representatives to regularly meet and confer with the superintendent and board members to address concerns of employees for the success of Edgecom County Public Schools and also supported the request for union lead for Marcia Williams. Last year, the Edgecom Associate of Educators signed a majority of teachers and classified staff members. We are applauding this level of solidarity among the workforce which Edgecom stands out with Durham and Asheville across the state. North Carolina is the only state that still bans collective bargaining among public workers with public workers in North Carolina. We have a right to join unions and associations and the right to petition for redress of grievances and meet and confer
017as a way to do that. other workers in our UE local 150 have done that already in Charlotte, Greensboro, Durham, Raleigh, as well as NC DHS facilities. We are proud of our ESP, ECPS employees, teachers, and classified staff who work hard and sacrifice under stressful conditions and low pay to teach our children to be the best they can be. We ask that you meet and confer with your elected representatives, not an advisory committee picked by the superintendent. I also want to raise two other questions for the board. What is the status of the new K to2 school to combine Cobra Wimberly Phillips and North Edgecom? Students, parents, and public want a public hearing to address rumors and concerns. Now, what is ES ECPS doing failing to do such as a group in Tarbor is now
018trying to start a new charter school a for black students. Where's the money coming from? What is ECPS doing to bring us test scores? These are two important questions we need the board to address. Thank you. That ends our public comment section. We'll move to item five, approval of our open session minutes of our August 11th, 2025 meeting. Does anyone have any corrections to those minutes? Hearing none, I need to hear a motion for approval of our open session minutes. >> Madam chair, make a motion that we approve the session of August 11. Second. has been moved and properly second that we will approve our August 11th, 2025 open session minutes. Any other discussion on the motion? [Music] All in favor of the motion, let it be known by saying I. I >> oppose the
019same sign. The motion carries. Thank you. Item six, items for information. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. U couple items for tonight. North Carolina public schools currently results. North Carolina Department of Public Construction was 2425 school performance grades and growth results last week, showing some encouraging popularity with county public schools. 10 schools improved their performance grades uh compared to last year while 410 districts 18 schools met exceeded growth expectations five schools edge academy health sciences early college high school GW bulk elementary Martin Millennium Academy West Edcom Middle all exceeded expected growth college high school continues tradition of excellence granting a exceeding growth for the 10th consecutive year nine additional schools as expected growth in district's four-year total graduation rate growth from 78.8% to 81.6%. Uh we're certainly encouraged by some of the progress our schools have
020made, but we also recognize we have uh plenty of important work to do and a lot more to move forward with. want to make sure that we uh continue to accelerate student growth, strengthen instruction, and uh prepare every student for a college and career success. Uh ECPS continues to work and try to build a strong momentum uh for our school district moving forward and uh we remain committed to reimagining the futures for our students, ensuring that all students have support and opportunities they need to thrive. And uh as we all know there's a lot more work to do and uh although the progress has been made but the work continues. Advisory councils uh we have started our first round of superintendent student advisory council meetings at all high schools. Uh engaging students directly in conversations
021about their school experiences and ideas for improvement. uh that's been going on now for just about two years. We started at the high school level uh with our student advisory groups uh two years ago and this year we're expanding that to the middle schools. We did a little bit of a pile project with that last year but now expanded that to uh to middle schools as well. So we'll probably have about approximately about 200 students uh in those advisory groups that we'll be talking with which we think are critically important uh in reference to uh true constituent um sort of they're they're the ultimate consumer our students and uh they'll provide great information for us u in the coming weeks. to mark them scheduled. Additional advisory committee meetings are scheduled including teacher advisory committee, classified
022employee advisory committee, an international teacher advisory committee, a parent advisory committee and uh also as I said the expansion of the student advisory committee to the middle schools. uh we want to make sure all stakeholders have a voice in shaping district priorities and initiatives and uh these meetings reflect our commitment to collaboration, continuous improvement in various perspectives and decision making. Um I will note um that in our committee meeting referencing policies uh Miss Ken brought up the idea of uh committee uh committees in reference to the entire community and uh we had talked about the idea of moving forward with that in in some capacity that was not included in policy uh which we're continuing to work on now with our community partners and trying to trying to find the right uh way to make
023sure we have a committee that encompasses all the many voices we have in Edinburgh County that will allow us to move forward and engage as many people as possible or make that better for our school district. >> U Dr. Brian, will you clarify for the group how the teacher advisory committee is picked? >> Sure. >> I mean I I just want people to understand we don't pick who gets on it. the teacher of the year, is it picked by us or by the principal? So, >> we actually have two groups of teachers that serve on that advisory committee. Um, we have the uh teachers of the year at each school and the beginning teacher of the year at each school, which are chosen by the staffs of each school during that process, which happens every
024spring for everyone. So, it encompasses about 40 uh teachers that are part of that process and they they become part of that as well. Um just so everybody knows we also have a parent advisory group where we have uh again principles nominate five six teacher I mean parents for that u school send that invitation we we meet in four different parts of the county so that parents can pick a spot where they want to go to uh so if it's easier to go to southwest ed high school they can go there and meet meet with us uh ends up being about 100 plus parents that are part of that process and uh actually that's where I got the idea for where we used our the process we use for redistricting the redistriing process to gather
025community feedback back in the back in the spring when we were working on that um student advisory I said we you know about 200 200 students that we engage in conversation uh classified advisory which is 20 plus folks from each school nominated by the principal uh for that and then parent advising international teacher advisory to every international teacher in the in the district. So, uh, one of the ways that we try to, uh, gather information from folks and, um, certainly important in input and feedback for what we're trying to do. And, um, I I go back over the last two years since I've been superintendent, and trying to engage folks. Uh, our our best ideas have come out of that engagement and talking. Yes, ma'am. Um reminder for everybody early release for professional development on
026Wednesday, September 10th. Uh all county public schools will observe an early release day on Wednesday, September 10th. Students be dismissed 3 hours earlier than the regular schedule to provide staff with dedicated time for professional development collaborative planning. This initiative supports ongoing efforts to strengthen instruction, enhance student learning across the district. Finally, uh the Twin Counties Education and Business Leader Summit, Thursday, September 18, 2025. The uh STEP summit as it's called will take place on on Thursday, September 18th. Brown Auditorium on the Nash Community College campus uh will correct this Saturday about 7:30 a.m. This year's theme is future ready, connecting the dots from education to workforce. highlights the vital connection between education, workforce development. The sum will feature uh expert panelists discussing current trends and strategies in education and workforce development, including familiar local leaders,
027inspiring stories and examples of successful education, business partnerships, and dynamic dynamic showcase of how schools uh preparing students for future careers. I I will say that STEP has taken a little bit of a different um approach this year to to this summit. They've already had they've always had great presentations and uh wonderful speakers, but it really has taken on more of a local flavor this year uh highlighting our uh students and our staff and showcasing some of the talents that they have for what is in the workforce development pipeline. And as many people in here know, that pipeline goes from elementary school all the way to high school and beyond. And uh trying to highlight that uh at that event. And uh as uh as we did during the convocation uh for our school district,
028we tried to make it student centered and we had a number of students who were speaking and participating and participating in panels and uh we're trying to do the same thing at STEP summit that will highlight what Edcom and Nash County are trying to do with workforce development. >> Thank you, madam chair. include all this. >> Thank you. >> Point two, maintenance update. Mr. Perkins, >> Madam Chair, before we go to that, may I reread with interest while we were talking about advisory committees the the points that were made and handed to us about the Edram County Public School community advisory committee. Uh, I think we could get a lot of uh a lot of dollar and a lot of focus from the information that I I've read and read. I reread with interest the
029last part down there about our students going about charter schools thinking they can do it better than we can. Uh, nobody can do it better than we can. We just need to do what we need to do. But I I I I think we can get a lot of mileage out of this if we uh consider this. Absolutely. Totally agree with you. >> Thank you. >> Maintenance update next. [Music] >> Mr. Pan, did you make your way to the podium? I would just say that when you walked in tonight, you couldn't get the last board, but as you walked in tonight, I heard a board member who shall remain nameless say, "The first string is back." >> Thank you. Good evening, chair, vice chair, board members, superintendent Dr. Brian. I'll be giving yall a few
030maintenance updates. This is Cocoa Women. Um, they had an old unit and we took it out and put a new one in. This is the new unit. This is Parker Pipes that was moving uh ination pilling.

Brian, and everyone here. I stand before you this evening to discuss the item for information. Um, the Edgecom County Public Schools has received a generous donation from Trillium Health Resources consisting of six laptops and two color printers. These items are being donated to support the work at the family resource center and as well as the teacher resource center. The donated technology will enhance access to digital tools for both families and educators. Um, we have decided to put these items in our family resource center and our teacher resource center to help our families um to be able to go into the resource center. They will
032use the laptops and corners to support um parent engagement activities, provide access to online resources, job readiness, access to students grades and attendance, and assist families in completing important student related forms such as um enrollment p um applications um that they may need to do on [Music] >> just a comment. Thank for that. And uh I I I sincerely hope that our parents take advantage of that. Uh my wife and I had the help. We have grandkids in and in in Maryland and and we that's how we kept up with what they were doing uh through things like that and going online and pulling up. They lied to their parent. They couldn't lie to us cuz I could see right then you have to turn it in and you're not doing what you're supposed to
033do. So, let me say to parent, this really is a plus. Uh, it really is something that they need that people need to take advantage of cuz kids can tell you anything. They let you see from the book bags what they want you to see. But if you use this uh uh and it was a gift, we thank you for that. They can pull it up and see what they're doing and not doing. And then we don't have these tears at the end of the year uh that they didn't know what their kids were doing. So, thank you all. Whoever whomever >> um this was on behalf of me and Mr. Mercy. He actually runs the family resource center but you partner in a whole lot of it. >> Okay. >> And I'm sure you
034do. >> There was a table at North Edge room at the first game with some stuff that your materials not stuff that you all had about out there concerning that. Good stuff. Good information.

Miss How? [Music] >> Good evening. Good evening, Madam Chair, vice chair, board of education, superintendent, co-workers, community. I come to you with two items. The first one of two is an item for action for um pardon me, the students who reside outside of Edgeon County Public School District that are required
049to pay tuition to attend. The tuition amount reflects a per capita appropriation of the current expense and the fines and forfeiture revenue from Edgecom County general fund and school capital ordinance fiscal year 202526 rece received by us the LEA 330. So the tuition amount is also based on using the NCDPI projected student ADM to get to the number as this calculation and the tuition rate for this year is $1,794 round. >> Is that anywhere close to last year? >> It's um a couple hundred more. I think about about $100 more actually. I think last year was about680 or something. >> Something like that. You're welcome. >> Any other questions or comments? If not, I need to get a motion for approval. >> Madam Chair, I'll make a motion to approve the year 2025 2026 tuition
050rate in amount of $1,794. >> Second. has been moved and properly second that we will approve the FY2526 tuition rate in the amount of $1,794. Any other discussion on the motion? All in favor of the motion, let it be known by saying I. >> I. >> Opposed the same side. Motion carries. >> Thank you. All right. My next request is the approval of the initial budget resolution for fiscal year 2526. I'm asking the administration to um approve as represented state local um school lunch fund and special revenue with also a note that between the next two schedule board meetings there will be addendums including the carryover from fiscal year 2425. So, I'll be back. Anyone have any questions on those documents that you just uh that you received from this hour? Need to add hearing?
051None. Do I hear a motion that we approve 8B? Madam Chair, I make a motion that we approve the addition budget resolution for fiscal year 2025 through 2026. >> Second. >> Has been moved and properly second that we will approve the initial budget resolution for FY 2526. Any other discussion on the motion? All in favor of the motion, let it be known by saying I. Oppose the same sign. Thank you, Miss Howard. Thank you. [Music] >> Hello. Good evening, Madam Chair, chair. >> Good evening, >> board members, superintendent. Um, I come before you tonight. I have several things on the list and I'll end with y'all tonight as well. So, I'll try not to hold y'all up too much. Um the first one is for the approval of purchase of SAOS envision math curriculum for
052JW Parker Middle School. Um if you remember from last year as during the merger um the SAS envision math is a curriculum JW Parker was already implementing prior to the merger and they are seeing positive traction with student success with that. Um and so we approved for a year extension last year. We're asking for the board to approve the sole source approval of that extension this year as well. Um the district opted not to adopt a math curriculum um for middle school. We just renewed our prior year curriculum for another year since we adopted ELA. Um so we want to ensure that JW Parker also has access to continue their curriculum as well. And because the cost is over 10,000, we're required to get your soul to approval for continuity of services. Any questions to
053Miss Pierce Hearing? None. We need to be a motion 6. Madam Chair, I make a motion to approve the purchase of SAS Envision math curriculum to provide continuity of instructional services support and resources to the teaching and learning process at JW Parker Middle School for the 2526 academic school year as a soft $16,720 [Music] using state county supplemental funding. Second >> has been moved and properly second that we will approve the purchase of SAS vision math curriculum to provide community and in continuity and instructional services support and resources to the uh teaching and learning process at JW Parker Middle School for for the school year 2526 in the amount of 16,7201 and we will be using uh the funding from PRC funds. Any other discussion on the motion? All in favor of the motion, let
054it be known by saying I. I >> oppose the same sign. The motion carries and continue. >> Um the next five are related in a sense but um not related because they are different schools. Um each of those schools just to kind of preferences. Each of those schools last year as part of their CSI plan and school improvement plan wrote to put some sort of bonus, a retention recruitment bonus as part of their plan um for improvement. Um and so each of these individual items is for the board to approve the payment of those plans based on what the schools had written in their plan for last year. Um you will see the plans that were attached. Um some of the dates may be different. senior leadership decided to hold and pay that out at
055the beginning of this year since it was a retention recruitment bonus. So that's what some of the dates may be different, but we're requesting the payout for the September 30th paycheck. Um so the first one is uh the request for DS Johnson Elementary uh school. Um they requested the use of funds to provide funding for recruitment and retention bonuses for instructional staff. Um, as a result of the merger of the merger, DS Johnson had many vacancies that they worked hard to fill with highly effective teachers. Um, and based on research that they do with targeted bonuses, um, they selected this as a strate as the strategy uh, to retain their quality teachers and increase student achievement um, as a goal to help them exit CSI status. Um, so our recommendation is the board approves um,
056the payment of those bonuses for the September 30th pay. And then some I had a question. So that's why 24 because it did started. >> Yes. So it was for the 2425 school year. So we would pay that now since it would be for the teachers that returned. >> Gotcha. Y >> and the good standing is that they did stay the entire time. Yes, they they stayed the entire time and they had good standing in regards to um evaluations and proficiency and um meeting evaluation efforts uh by the school as well. >> Yes, sir. >> All right. Thank you. Any other questions, others, comments? If not, I need the approval. Madam Chair, move for the approval of the payment of the comprehensive support and improvement CSI recruitment retention bonus for eligible staff at DS Johnson
057Elementary School using funds provided by ESA title 1.8 school improvement fund CSI PRC 105. Second >> has been moved and properly seconded that we will approve the approval of the payment and comprehensive support and improvement CSI recruitment tension bonuses for eligible staff at DS Johnson Elementary School using funds from CSI PRC funding. Any discussion on the motion hearing? None. All in favor of the motion, let me know by saying I. >> I oppose the same sign. The motion carries. Thank you. So the next request is for um payment of um retention and recruitment bonuses for Fairview Elementary School uh using CSI funds. Um as part of their plan, they were uh seeking to fund for recruitment retention bonuses uh for staff prior to 2425. Uh Fairview had met or exceeded growth as measured by their
058in-class data. Um and the retention bonus was selected as a strategy to support them in maintaining staff stability during the merger last year and to maintain fidelity of improvement strategy implementation in prior years. So our recommendation is for the board to approve um the payment of that recruitment retention bonus um on in September paycheck. >> Any question? >> Yes. I have a question for >> Yes, it is. I see on the list of names that's attached that there are duplicates from this school which is um >> Fairview and they also listed on DS Johnson. >> Yes, ma'am. Um they are prrated amount. So they're only getting a certain amount from Fair View and a certain amount from DS Johnson because they may spend 20% of their time at Bay View and 20% of their time
059at DS Johnson. Great question is so they're getting the pr-rated amount for the base of time that they serve at each of those schools. Yes, ma'am. There will not be any that gets full from both schools. Yes, ma'am. Any other job? I need to have a motion for 8.8. Madam chairman motion to approve the payment of comprehensive support and improvement recruitment retention bonus for eligible staff at Fairview Elementary School using fund provided by ESA title one part A school improvement funds PRC 105. Second has been moved and second that we will approve of the payment and comprehensive staff and improvement recruiting retention bonuses for eligible staff at Fairview Elementary School. uh using the funds from PS a tiger one part a funds from CSI PRC any other discussion on the motion all in favor of
060the motion let be known by saying I >> oppose the same sign the motion carries thank you very kindly continue the next one is a request to pay uh TSI retention recruitment bonuses for Baskerville Elementary School. Um they worked hard to recruit um and fill vacancies in the 2425 school year as part of the merger. Um and it was important to maintain the SAD that they were invested in professional learning opportunities in um and they also worked hard last year to build that positive culture with high expectations. And so funding for recruitment and retention supplements with the strategy that they select to help decrease turnover and posit positively um impact recruitment efforts um allowing teachers to be able to master the coaching and professional development. So again, our recommendation is that the board approves the
061payment of the CSI bonus for Baskerville staff um as um as presented in their proposal um in the September 30th paycheck. Miss Pearson just for the group. The other two schools have the list of what the total would be. Do you know what the total is? Just >> I don't have it in front of me right now. As part of their criteria for payment, they will submit the full list for us to review and we will sign off on that list ensuring that they meet um those requirements. And so on the list they have to provide the staff member's name um the date of hire um the what what their uh position is in the school um and then the recommended bonus and myself and HR will review that list before um it is paid
062on the 30th. I just recommend that we provide as a followup to the board so you all can see later exactly and I can I can share that list. >> Okay. >> We would like to need to see the list. >> I'd like to see it. We need to see. Okay. We would definitely get that. Okay. >> All right. Any other comment or questions on item 8.9 B? Hearing none, I need a motion. >> Madam chair, I'll make a motion to approve for approval of the payment of comprehensive support and improvement recruitment and retention bonus for eligible staff at Baskinville Elementary School using funds provided by ESA title one part. A school uh improvement fund pending approval of the staff list. >> Second. has been moved. And second that we will approve the payment of
063comprehensive support and improvement recruitment retention bonuses for Baskilia Elementary School. And those funds will come from title one part A um CSI PRC 105 funds pending a list being shown to us. >> We'll get that by the end of this. Any other discussion on the motion? All in favor of the motion let be known by saying I >> oppose the same sign. The motion carries. Continue. Um, our next request is for JW Parker CSI U retention recruitment bonuses and their plan. Their request was to use funds to provide funding for recruitment and retention bonuses for instructional staff. Um as part of the merger um last school year um it was included in a strategy to maintain highly qualified staff and reduce the number of changes um as we shifted into um merger and as well
064uh through this school year opening up this school year. So our recommendation is that the board approves um the bonus for JW Parker Middle School using CSI fun >> same thing y and the last one as well. We'll have the list for you. It's already a requirement anyway, but we'll go ahead and tell them to go and send it in now before payroll. >> Any other comments or questions? >> Motion. Madam Chair, I make a motion to for the approval of the payment of comprehensive support and improvement recruitment retention bonus for eligible staff at JW Parker Middle School using funds provided by ESA title one A school improvement funds pending approval of the list. >> Second. It has been moved and second that we will approve the payment of the comprehensive support and approving retention
065recruitment retention bonuses for the staff at JW Parker Middle School with the funds coming from ESA title one part A CSI PRC 105 with the list will be brought to us. Any other discussion on the motion? All in favor of the motion, let it be known by saying I >> oppose the same sign. The motion carries continue. >> Final school um is for Stocks Elementary approval of retention recruitment bonuses um through CSI funds and their plan. They had requested the use of funds to provide funding for recruitment and retention bonuses for staff to maintain um uh the fidelity of improvement strategies they began to implement last school year. Um and then in the previous two school year CSI um Stocks was a CSI school and they had exceeded growth in those uh previous two school
066years and group proficiency um and um maintained those bonuses the previous two years as a strategy as well. Um, so the recommendation is that the board approve the payment of staff pending the list submission to the board um for CSI bonuses as u noted in the proposal in their September 30th paycheck. Madam Madam Chair, I make a motion for the approval of the payment of comprehensive support and improvement recruitment retention bonus for eligible staff at Stocks Elementary School using funds provided by ESA title one part A school improvement funds. any favor of the list. >> Did you say yes? Second. It has been moved and properly second um that we approve the payment comprehensive support and improvement recruitment and retention bonuses for the staff at Stocks Elementary School using the funds EDA title one part
067A funds CSI RC 105 with the lease being presented to us. Any other discussion on the motion? All in favor of the motion, let it be known by saying I oppose the same sign. Hearing none. The motion carries. Continue. Two more. Um the next request is for the board to approve uh the services by the uh spark hub as a sole source to provide tutorial services uh for Southside Academy um for private school equitable services um per ESA. We are required by law uh to provide equitable services um to Edgecom County resident students in title one attendance area schools that attend private schools. Um and so as part of that equitable service, we have worked with Southside Academy to identify their needs um and their goals for students. Um they currently partner with the Sparkhub
068actually for the equitable services through Nash County as well. Um and so the request for the sole source to use them is to maintain program continuity within their school instead of using a separate tutorial service being able to use that same tutorial service that has already been created and providing the services within the school. Um so our recommendation is for the board to provide the sole source approval for that. Um, since the amount of services is over 10,000, it requires either competitive bidding or uh soul source approval. [Music] >> Does anyone have any questions to speak? >> So, yes, we have so our we have a a a a substantial percentage of kids at Southside um >> served by Southside. >> I think it's 15 or 20 students, I think. So what happens with equitable
069services um is we identify the number of students um that are considered economically disadvantaged. That's through our uh child nutrition department. Um and we have to take the total number in our district and then we take the total number of any schools that want to participate in equitable services. We have two we have southside and then we have our lady of perpetual health in Rocky Mountain that opt in to participate. um and we have to take our aotment for the year from the state and divide it by that number. And so let's say that number was $2,000 per student. Um then if Southside has 15 students, we we have to say 15 times 2,000 which would give them 30,000 of equitable services for this school year that we would have to give them to support
070the Edgecom County students residents um for supplemental support. So that's just a rough of how it's calculated, but it's either like 15 or 20 students. That's how >> fair share. >> Yes. Oh yes. Um and Nash, they are actually in district and Nash. So they only get title one for us. For Nash, they get title one, title two, title three, and title four equitable services. >> Did I understand you say our lady, >> our lady of perpetual health? >> I know that. Yeah. >> Yeah. But they are considered a nonprofit private school. So um our private school students generate uh federal funds and so we we by ESA have to provide um those services at the school or let stop. >> So the total number of students that you arrested is 15. >> It's it's
071like 15 or 20 at each school. I don't have the exact number right now. Yes. >> You can show that to me. >> Yes, I can show you. Yep. Well, they have to provide um the address and I check the address with our transportation to ensure that they are county uh resident. Um and then they have factors um that we use to determine disadvantage. We tier one opportunity scholarship is what we use for any student. That's a tier one opportunity scholarship um is considered for consideration of economically disadvantaged. Yes. This year's about 30,000 that we'll be giving to equitable services. >> Well, the amount that you have listed in this request is >> 11,000. >> That's just for this particular type. >> They we've selected the tutorial services for that specific school. >> Yes. >>
072No more questions. I understand recommend approval of the service provided by the spark club and sold source to provide tutorial services for Southside Academy for private school equitable services using funds provided by ESA title one part a basic grant PRC 050 in the amount of $11,4418. I second >> we moved down properly second that we will approve the services provided by the stock hub as a so s sole source to provide to tour services or southside academy or private school uh equal services using funds from ESA title one part a basic grant PR PRC50 in the amount of $11,44128. Any other discussion on the motion? All in favor of the motion, let it be known by saying I. >> I. >> Oppose the same sign. The motion carries. Thank you very kindly. Continue. Wow. Um
073a final request is for the approval of services provided by vital smarts uh crucial learning as a sole source for services of professional learning. Um as part of our advanced teaching role in our plan that we submit to the state we provide professional development to our advanced teachers or which we call our MCL's in our district our multiclassroom leaders um NTRTS. Um and so what we are looking to request is that the board approve the services um by crucial learning for the uh getting things done methodology. Um this methodology is focused on u developing skills to improve individual focus and team productivity of uh staff that are leading teams within schools. Um and as part of this um service, we will receive training for two in district staff to become trainers so that we don't
074have to send folks other places. Um so we will become trainers and then it allows us to purchase a 100 license. So we will be able to train up to a 100 staff in our district before we have to purchase additional license. And that staff would be staff in advanced teaching role positions as well as administrators in schools leading um schools that have advanced teaching roles in um and so um they are a highly specialized professional service. They own um all of the rights to all of the training materials and so we're requesting the sole source approval due to the highly specialized professional services. Any questions on this item? 8.13B >> and this is just for this school year. >> Um, we have access to those hund so the training the train the trainer will
075occur within the month. Um, and then we will have access to those 100 license until we use them. >> So we're buying the 100 license for training and all the access material. So, >> so we'll be able to use it over multiple times. We hire new people in those roles, we'll be able that's part of our plan for professional development. >> Okay. So, so that's what you just stated is in all the things that you just talked about is included in the 29,000. >> Yes, ma'am. >> All right. Turn key job. >> We're trying to get the training industry so we hire people. We don't have to pay to send people that we can train them at high key. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Any other comment or question? Believe it is our last statement. So
076you better ask what you need to ask right now. >> I'm done. >> I've been on a marathon. Does anybody for anybody else have any questions to Mr. Pierce? Let's have a motion to approve it. Madam Chair, I make a motion to approve the services provided by Title Smart LLC doing business as crucial learning as a sole source for services for professional learning and the total amount not to exceed $29,679 with a cent22 advanced teaching role state funds.
