Aug 15, 2022 August 15, 2022 - School Board Retreat - 12 p.m.

[00:00:02]

GOOD AFTERNOON.

[A. Meeting Opening]

FIRST, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE COMMUNITY FACILITIES BOND PLAN.

[B. Community Facilities Bond Plan]

CHAIR OF BOARD MEMBERS DR.

DAUGHERTY. OUR FIRST SEGMENT THIS AFTERNOON IS INTENDED AS AN INFORMATIONAL EXERCISE.

AS YOU'RE AWARE, THE SCHOOL DIVISION AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATION HAVE WORKED VERY CLOSELY ON A BOND REFERENDUM THAT WILL GO TO THE VOTERS THIS NOVEMBER.

PART OF THIS COLLECTIVE ROLE IS TO HELP INFORM THE PUBLIC ABOUT THIS OPTION AND THE SCOPE OF PROJECTS THAT ARE OUT THERE.

AND THAT'S THE INTENT OF THIS PRESENTATION.

A SERIES OF COMMUNITY MEETINGS ARE SCHEDULED TO START IN SEPTEMBER.

THE FIRST OF THOSE WILL BE SEPTEMBER 6TH FOR THE CLOVER HILL DISTRICT TO BE HELD AT CTC HALL.

THIS LEAD IN OUR PROJECT IS A VERY WELL KNOWN COUNTY INDIVIDUAL AND HAS DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB.

OUR COUNTY DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR, MATT HARRIS.

OUR JOINT TEAMS ARE ACTUALLY ALREADY OUT IN THE COMMUNITY SPEAKING AT THIS TIME.

I HAD THE PLEASURE OF BEING WITH NATALIE SPILLMAN, ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL FROM THE COUNTY, WHEN WE WERE AT THE ROYALTON THIS PAST MONDAY NIGHT.

AND AGAIN, THESE ARE INFORMATIONAL IN NATURE, BUT THEY'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE TODAY.

AND ESSENTIALLY, FROM THE CONTEXT OF THIS, OUR GOAL IS TO HELP THE VOTERS BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THE REFERENDUM ENCOMPASSES.

AT THIS POINT, I'LL ASK MATT TO COME TO THE PODIUM AND PICK UP AT THIS STAGE WITH THE PRESENTATION WE'RE SHOWING SO THAT YOU SEE WHAT WE WILL BE SHOWING IN SEPTEMBER AS YOU'RE OUT IN EACH OF THESE ZONES, MATT.

SCHOOL BOARD APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY.

DONE THIS ONCE OR TWICE NOW.

SO I'LL TRY TO GO AT A REASONABLE SPEED BUT I WANT YOU GUYS KNOW A LOT OF PIECES AND PARTS OF THIS.

BUT I THINK, AGAIN, LIKE DR.

TYLUS SAID, HE'S BEEN A FANTASTIC PARTNER IN THIS.

I THINK HAVE DONE THIS A COUPLE OF TIMES IN MY CAREER.

AND THIS IS CERTAINLY THE I THINK THE BEST THAT THE TWO BODIES HAVE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER.

AND I THINK THE PRODUCT CERTAINLY SHOWS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR, YOU KNOW, PROBABLY ALMOST THREE YEARS AT THIS POINT.

WE ARE PLANNING GOT DELAYED A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE OF COVID, BUT I THINK WE GOT A STRONGER PACKAGE AND CERTAINLY A STRONGER MESSAGE AS WE HEAD OUT ON THE TRAIL.

SO I'M GONNA WALK THROUGH THIS AND JUST KEEP IT CONVERSATIONAL IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU WANT TO STOP AND DELVE INTO.

AND, AND CERTAINLY AS WE'RE HEADING OUT INTO YOUR INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS, IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT US TO TWEAK OR CLARIFY OR ADD TO THE PRESENTATION THAT WOULD HELP YOU ALL AND YOUR INDIVIDUAL CONVERSATIONS, NOW'S A GREAT TIME TO COLLECT THAT FEEDBACK.

WE'VE DONE THIS, LIKE I SAID, A NUMBER OF TIMES, AND I THINK WE TRY TO MAKE IT BETTER EACH TIME WE DO IT.

SO THERE'S REALLY KIND OF THREE DISTINCT CHAPTERS TO THE STORY.

THE FIRST ONE, AGAIN, WE HAVEN'T DONE THIS SINCE 2013 AND THEN BEFORE THEN IT WAS 2004.

SO THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT THE COMMUNITY IS EXPOSED TO ON A REGULAR BASIS ABOUT EVERY TEN YEARS.

SO WE'VE ADDED, AS YOU ALL, I THINK CAN APPRECIATE A LOT OF RESIDENTS IN THE LAST TEN YEARS OR SO WE TRY OUT THE FIRST CHAPTERS LIKE WHAT IS A REFERENDUM.

WHY ARE WE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT IT MECHANICALLY? HOW DOES IT WORK? AND I THINK THE SIMPLEST WAY THAT WE BROUGHT IT DOWN IS REALLY IT'S THE PUBLIC'S SPECIFIC OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE COUNTY'S LONG RANGE CAPITAL PLAN. AND THE DIFFERENCE HERE BEING NOT ONLY PROVEN IN LONG RANGE CAPITAL PLAN, BUT THEY ARE DOING AND IMPROVING THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCING THROUGH GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS. AND SO WHY IS THAT IMPORTANT? AND WE SPENT SOME TIME TALKING TO THAT AS WE DISCUSS OUR REGULAR INTERVAL WITH THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE TRIPLE TRIPLE-A BOND RATING.

YOU ALL HAVE HEARD THAT I'M SURE, MANY TIMES SINCE YOU'VE BEEN IN OFFICE, BUT THIS IS WHERE THAT REALLY COMES INTO PLAY, BECAUSE THAT TRIPLE A BOND RATING, YOU CAN ONLY ACCESS IT AT ITS AT ITS HIGHEST AND BEST VALUE IF YOU GET THIS AUTHORITY FROM THE VOTING PUBLIC TO BE ABLE TO GO OUT AND ISSUE GO THOSE BONDS.

AND ALL THAT MEANS IS FULL FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE COUNTY.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE GOING TO PAY THOSE BONDS, THAT DEBT SERVICE ON THOSE SECURITIES COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, MORE OR LESS.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE ARE ASKING FOR AS PART OF THIS.

SO IT'S REALLY SORT OF THOSE TWO PIECES.

I THINK ONE OF THE BIG QUESTIONS THAT WE'VE GOTTEN AS WE'VE BEEN OUT ALREADY IS, WELL, YOU KNOW, THE ECONOMY IS STARTING TO SOFTEN A LITTLE BIT.

CERTAINLY THERE ARE SOME THINGS TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT.

AND WE REMIND FOLKS THIS IS A LONG RANGE CAPITAL PLAN.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OUT AND SELL ALL OF THIS DEBT DAY ONE.

IT REALLY GIVES US ABOUT AN 8 TO 10 YEAR WINDOW TO PLAN OUT THESE IMPROVEMENTS.

AND ALSO, AS WE'LL SEE AS WE GO THROUGH THE PRESENTATION, ONE OF THE SLIDES WE'VE ADDED, THIS IS NOT THE COMPREHENSIVE LIST.

THERE WILL BE OTHER PROJECTS, OTHER PRIORITIES THAT EMERGE.

AND WE TRY TO LEAVE SOME CAPACITY, SOME ROOM IN OUR PLANNING TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THOSE THINGS.

I THINK THERE'S SOME REALLY GOOD EXAMPLES FROM 2013 MOSELY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BEING A REALLY SHINING EXAMPLE OF THAT.

[INAUDIBLE] YOU KNOW, IT REALLY TOOK OFF AND WE WERE ABLE TO TO FEATHER THAT IN AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

[00:05:02]

IT'S THE LARGEST REFERENDUM THAT WE HAVE EVER FLOATED.

THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE BROKEN ACROSS FOUR CATEGORIES SCHOOLS, PUBLIC SAFETY, WHICH IS POLICE AND FIRE.

AND WE'LL SEE THAT HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

PARKS AND LIBRARIES SORT OF THOSE QUALITY OF LIFE PIECES.

STRUCTURE WISE THERE'S ONE SINGLE QUESTION THAT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT.

IF YOU READ ANYTHING ABOUT [INAUDIBLE].

THERE'S NOT ONE RIGHT OR WRONG WAY TO DO IT, AND WE FEEL LIKE IT'S ONE PACKAGE.

WE REALLY ARE TRYING TO EMPHASIZE THE UNITY IS PART OF THIS LONG RANGE CAPITAL PLAN.

SO WE HAVE ONE QUESTION.

THERE IS NO MEALS TAX.

THERE IS NO OTHER FINANCING COMPONENT WITH IT.

IT IS JUST DO YOU APPROVE OUR ABILITY TO ISSUE UP TO $540 MILLION IN GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS TO SUPPORT PROJECTS ACROSS THESE CATEGORIES? AND WE'LL LOOK AT THE EXACT QUESTION HERE IN JUST A SECOND.

THE GO AGAIN, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT, CERTAINLY IN RISING INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENT, IT'S ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO BE ABLE TO GET THE LOWEST RATES POSSIBLE OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS OR SO.

OUR RATE SPREADS HAVE BEEN FAIRLY COMPRESSED.

SO SOMEBODY WHO WAS DIDN'T HAVE A HIGHER RATING, AS WE DO, WOULD BE PAYING MORE, BUT NOT AS THE ECONOMY IMPROVES, REALLY AS INTEREST RATES RISE RATHER, YOU SEE THOSE SPREADS REALLY START TO PULL APART.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW.

SO IF YOU WE JUST HAVE ONE LITTLE MATH PROBLEM ON HERE.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE, ONE SNAPSHOT IN TIME, BUT THE LIFETIME SAVINGS BEING ABLE TO USE GO VERSUS SOMEBODY THAT'S A NOTCH BELOW US ON THE SCALE IS ROUGHLY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF $25 MILLION OF INTEREST COSTS OVER THAT PERIOD OF TIME.

SO IT'S REAL MONEY.

AND FOR JUST TO PUT THAT IN ROUGH TERMS, YOU KNOW, THAT'S TWO COUNTY PROJECTS WORTH OF SAVINGS JUST IN INTEREST COST THAT YOU'RE ABLE TO AVOID OVER THAT 8 TO 10 YEAR WINDOW.

SO IT'S REAL MONEY.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT MESSAGE ALWAYS WHEN YOU'RE DOING THIS IS YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED THIS AUTHORITY IN THE PAST AND WE MAKE GOOD ON THE PROMISES THAT ARE EMBEDDED WITH THAT. AND YOU CAN SEE HERE THE LIST OF THE 2013 PROJECTS.

I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS. YOU ALL KNOW THIS AS WELL AS ANYBODY.

BUT WE DO WANT TO GIVE THAT MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY THAT YOU GAVE US THIS AUTHORITY, YOU APPROVE THIS SLATE OF PROJECTS, AND WE FOLLOW THROUGH WITH IT.

THE ONLY THING THAT'S STILL REMAINING HERE IS THE EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, BUT THAT'S JUST A MULTI-YEAR IMPLEMENTATION.

YOU HAVE TO HIT IT ON SEASONAL CYCLES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND WE EXPECT TO HAVE THAT WRAPPED UP THIS FISCAL YEAR.

AGAIN, THIS IS A QUESTION THAT'S COME UP WE GO THROUGH WELL, I LIKE THE PLAN, I LIKE THE PACKAGE.

I LIKE THIS PROJECT. BUT WHAT ABOUT X, Y AND Z? SO WE JUST REMIND FOLKS, THIS IS NOT THE ONLY WAY THAT WE PUT CAPITAL FACILITIES INTO MOTION.

YOU ALL, AS DOES BOARD SUPERVISORS SUPERVISOR, APPROVE A CAPITAL PLAN EACH AND EVERY YEAR.

THERE'S THINGS THAT WE DO WITH CASH FUNDING.

THERE'S OTHER FINANCING SOURCES THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO US.

CERTAINLY YOU ALL ARE VERY, VERY AWARE OF [INAUDIBLE] AND HOW WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO USE THAT TO JUMPSTART THE PROJECTS IN FALLEN CREEK AND THE THE RELIEVER FOR TOMAHAWK MIDDLE.

SO WE JUST SORT OF WALK THROUGH AND REMIND FOLKS THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO TAKE THIS AS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA OF OUR CAPITAL EFFORTS OVER THE NEXT 8 TO 10 YEARS.

AND THEN WE JUST GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A NUMBER OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN MOTION RIGHT NOW THAT WEREN'T REFERENDUM PROJECTS.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO OUT AND DO A REFERENDUM EVERY 2 TO 3 OR FOUR YEARS.

SO YOU KIND OF HAVE TO PICK THAT 8 TO 10 YEAR WINDOW.

BUT FORTUNATELY, GIVEN OUR CREDIT SCORE AND OUR CREDIT RATING, THERE WAS A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO BORROW AND PUT OTHER FACILITIES IN PLACE.

WE TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHY THESE PROJECTS I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.

AS I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED, THIS HAS BEEN THE PROBABLY THE MOST INTENSIVE SELECTION PROCESS.

JUST BECAUSE WE HAD MORE TIME, YOU KNOW, WE THOUGHT WE'D BE DOING THIS IN 2020, TWO YEARS AGO.

SO WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO RUN THIS THROUGH THE COMMUNITY, THROUGH MEETINGS IN THIS ROOM, FACEBOOK, LIKE YOU NAME IT.

THERE'S BEEN A TON OF COMMUNITY INPUT IN THE INDIVIDUAL CIPS THAT HELP BUILD THIS.

SO I THINK THAT THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT.

WE HAVE THE STRATUS TOOL.

AGAIN, IT'S NOT AN END ALL BE ALL, BUT I THINK IT HELPS TO SORT OF REINFORCE SOME OF THE DECISION MAKING.

WE'VE NOW ADDED THIS INTO THE FIRE SERVICE ON THE COUNTY SIDE TO REALLY HELP US MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE PLACING FACILITIES IN THE RIGHT AREAS WHERE GROWTH IS GOING TO EMERGE.

SO THAT'S BEEN VERY, VERY HELPFUL.

IT'S A CONTINUATION OF OUR REVITALIZATION EFFORT.

2013 WAS REALLY FOCUSED ON REPLACEMENT OF OLDER SCHOOLS, AND YOU SEE A NICE BALANCE, PROBABLY MORE BALANCE IN THIS PACKAGE, BUT CERTAINLY THAT CONTINUES TO FEED INTO OUR THOUGHT PROCESS. AND THEN LASTLY, ECONOMIC INTEREST THAT SHOWS UP MOST READILY HERE FOR US ON THE POLICE STATIONS WE HAVE THREE COUNTY POLICE STATIONS ARE ALL IN LONG TERM LEASES. THEY'RE NOT VERY GOOD FOR A DOLLAR CENTS PERSPECTIVE WHEN YOU SIT DOWN AND DO THE MATH SO WE CAN CONVERT THOSE LONG TERM LEASES INTO DEBT FINANCING, EVENTUALLY

[00:10:01]

AND WE WILL ALSO ADD A FOURTH POLICE STATION.

WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT IN JUST A SECOND.

SO HOW DOES IT BREAK DOWN [INAUDIBLE] THESE SCHOOLS WE HAD, 375 [INAUDIBLE].

UNIT COST IS JUST HIGHER THAN THE OTHER CATEGORIES.

IT REALLY ISN'T REFLECTIVE OF THAT MANY MORE SCHOOL PROJECTS.

YOU'RE AWARE OF THAT. BUT I THINK THE COMMUNITY JUST NEEDS TO BE SORT OF INFORMED ABOUT HOW THAT WORKS.

PARKS AND LIBRARIES SORT OF SPLIT EVENLY AROUND THE $40 MILLION MARK.

PARKS AND REC, WE WERE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF PROJECTS AS WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO DO WITH SCHOOLS AS WELL THROUGH THE ARPA FUNDING.

SO THAT NUMBER WOULD BE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

BUT FORTUNATELY THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS LOOSENED AND WE WERE ABLE TO TACKLE SOME EXISTING PROJECTS AS PART OF THAT.

AND THEN LASTLY, PUBLIC SAFETY IN HERE BEING EVEN SPLIT BETWEEN POLICE AND FIRE AROUND $40 MILLION.

WE'LL LOOK AT THE SPECIFIC PROJECTS IN JUST ONE SECOND.

YOU KNOW, ANOTHER CONSIDERATION.

AND I THINK SOME THE PUBLIC IS ALWAYS INTERESTED IN, YOU KNOW, IS THIS OVERLY CONCENTRATED IN ONE COMMUNITY, ONE CORNER OR ONE NEIGHBORHOOD? AND SO WE TOOK ALL OF THE NAMED PROJECTS, IF YOU WILL, AND PLOTTED THEM.

AND THAT'S ALL THIS MAP IS INTENDED TO SHOW, THAT WE HAVE A REALLY NICE GEOGRAPHIC SPREAD, YOU KNOW, ALL THE MAJOR CORRIDORS, REVITALIZATION PROJECTS, NEW CAPACITY PROJECTS, REALLY TRYING TO FIND THAT THAT HEALTHY BALANCE BETWEEN ALL OF THOSE COMPETING INTERESTS.

THE MIDDLE CHAPTER OF THE STORY REALLY DELVES DOWN INTO THE SPECIFIC LIST OF PROJECTS.

I THINK YOU ALL KNOW THIS ONE WELL.

SO WE I WON'T GO THROUGH THIS, BUT THIS IS OUR OPPORTUNITY IN THE COMMUNITY PRESENTATION TO LET FOLKS KNOW WHAT'S IN THAT $375 MILLION NUMBER AND ALSO TO LET THEM KNOW.

I THINK YOU ALL HAVE POINTED OUT MANY TIMES IT VERY WELL MAY TAKE MORE THAN $375 MILLION TO COMPLETE THIS LIST OF PROJECTS.

CERTAINLY THE LITHIUM METAL IS NOT GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTIVE FOR $50 MILLION, BUT THERE ARE SOME UNIQUE ASPECTS OF THAT PROJECT THAT CERTAINLY WILL BRING SOME OTHER RESOURCES TO THE TABLE. AND WE'VE GOT TIME.

WE'VE GOT 8 TO 10 YEARS FROM NOVEMBER TO GET THIS DONE, TO FIND OTHER RESOURCES AT YEAR END, OTHER CASH SOURCES, DEBT SOURCES, FEDERAL OPPORTUNITIES TO FEATHER IN AROUND THE EDGES.

SO THIS IS NOT INTENDED AND WE DON'T SELL IT WHEN WE GO OUT INTO THE COMMUNITY THAT THIS IS ALL WE'RE GOING TO SPEND ON THESE.

LAST TIME WE REALLY HAD THE OPPOSITE EFFECT.

YOU KNOW, THE PRICES CAME IN CONSIDERABLY BETTER THAN WE EXPECTED.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO EXPAND THOSE SCOPES BY BRINGING SOME CASH TO THE TABLE.

SO THERE'S CLEAR PRECEDENT TO DO THAT.

AND, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL STAFF AND MYSELF AND COUNTY TEAMS ARE ALREADY FIGURING OUT AND SETTING ASIDE TO BE ABLE TO WORK INTO THAT AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

SO I DON'T HAVE ANY ANY HEARTBURN ABOUT THE NUMBERS THAT ARE ON HERE.

IT'S REALLY JUST GETTING FOLKS TO FOCUS ON THE FACILITIES THEMSELVES.

SAME IS TRUE WITH LIBRARIES, BUT WE HAVE THREE PROJECTS JUST YOU MAY NOT KNOW THESE QUITE AS WELL.

YOU SEE THE YELLOW DOT ON THE FAR WESTERN PORTION OF THE COUNTY AND AGAIN, THAT'S NOT A SPECIFIC COORDINATE.

DON'T RUN OUT AND BUY THAT PIECE OF PROPERTY.

IT'S JUST A REPRESENTATION OF OUR RECOGNITION THAT WE NEED LIBRARY SERVICES AND THAT SORT OF WESTERN THIRD.

YOU HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY DOWN WHOLE STREET TO THE CLOVER HILL BRANCH NOW.

SO TRYING TO GET THE SERVICES A LITTLE CLOSER TO WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE.

THEN WE'VE GOT A REPLACEMENT AT [INAUDIBLE], WHICH IS OUR SMALLEST LIBRARY, AND THEN AN EXPANSION RENOVATION AT [INAUDIBLE].

AGAIN, A NICE SPREAD AMONGST OUR LIBRARY FACILITIES AND WE'RE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS RIGHT NOW.

MIDLOTHIAN LIBRARY IS BEING RECONSTRUCTED, NORTH COURTHOUSE IS BRAND NEW AND THE PROD IS SCHEDULED FOR A MAJOR RENOVATION HERE IN THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO. PARKS AND REC AGAIN, WE WERE ABLE TO DO A LOT OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH ARPA, THE HEADLINER HERE, RIVER CITY, SPORTSPLEX THAT ONE DIDN'T FIT WITHIN THE ARPA ENVELOPE. SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THAT HERE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF A LARGER NUMBER.

AND THEN THE REST OF IT IS REALLY ABOUT PROVIDING ACCESS TO SOME OF OUR NATURAL RESOURCES, THE RIVERFRONT BEING A GOOD EXAMPLE.

WE'RE BLESSED WITH TWO MAJOR RIVERS HERE IN JASPER COUNTY.

WE HAVEN'T DONE AS GOOD A JOB, PARTICULARLY IN THE NORTHERN SIDE, OF OPENING UP ACCESS TO THAT.

SO YOU'VE GOT ACCESS AT FALLEN CREEK AND THEN WE HAVE PURCHASED ADDITIONAL PROPERTY DOWN IN THE BERMUDA DISTRICT AND WE WOULD GO IN AND BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME ACCESS THERE. THE CONSERVATION AREA ACCESS, SAME KIND OF CONCEPT.

WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO BUY TRACTS AND LAND OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS.

ALL THIS DOES IS GO IN THERE FOR PROJECTS FOR $2 MILLION.

YOU GO AND YOU PUT DOWN SOME GRAVEL PARKING, SOME TRAIL FACILITIES.

WE REALLY LEARNED DURING COVID THAT FOLKS VALUE THAT TREMENDOUSLY TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT INTO THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT, AND WE'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE AS MANY OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES AS POSSIBLE. I TALKED ABOUT THIS A LITTLE BIT.

AGAIN, POLICE STATIONS, THREE LEASE FACILITIES.

WE'VE ACTUALLY HAVE FOUR ZONES IN OUR POLICE PATROL SET UP, IF YOU WILL.

SO WE ARE ADDING A FOURTH STATION AND CONVERTING THOSE OTHER THREE TO COUNTY OWNED FACILITIES, AS DOES MR. CARROLL. BE QUICK TO POINT OUT.

THAT'S A FORMER BILL'S BARBECUE THAT'S PICTURED THERE, NOT NEVER WAS INTENDED TO BE A POLICE STATION.

[00:15:01]

FIRE AND EMS, THAT PICTURE GOT A LOT LARGER THAN IT WAS THIS MORNING.

BUT NONETHELESS, THIS IS REALLY ABOUT WE'VE WITH THE ADDITION OF THE MAGNOLIA GREEN STATION, OUR FOOTPRINT IS IN PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.

BUT WE'VE GOT SOME OLDER FACILITIES.

THE ELECTRIC STATION, THE CHESTER STATION, YOU CAN SEE EVEN OPENING THE DOORS COMPLETELY IN THAT STATION IS A BIT OF A CHALLENGE.

SO THE FIRE PACKAGE IS REALLY ABOUT GOING IN AND MODERNIZING.

THIS FIRE APPARATUS HAS CHANGED TREMENDOUSLY SINCE SOME OF THESE STATIONS WERE CONSTRUCTED.

WE NEED MORE FIRE APPARATUS IF YOU NEED A LADDER TRUCK, FOR EXAMPLE.

SO IT'S ABOUT MODERNIZING THOSE TWO STATIONS AND THEN TO RENOVATIONS AND REPLACEMENTS AT AT CLOVER HILL AND DUTCH GAP.

SO THIS IS KNOW AGAIN EVERYBODY'S WITH ME TO THIS POINT OF THE PRESENTATION LIKES THE PROJECT GENERALLY.

THEY SAY, WELL, HOW ARE WE GOING TO PAY FOR $545 MILLION? WELL, AGAIN, FIRST AND FOREMOST, WE'RE NOT DOING THAT OVERNIGHT.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OUT, YOU KNOW, AND THANKSGIVING DAY AND SELL $540 MILLION WORTH OF BONDS.

WE WILL FEATHER THAT IN OVER AN 8 TO 10 YEAR WINDOW, DEPENDING ON SORT OF THE ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.

THE OTHER THE GOOD NEWS IS THIS IS OUR LOOK AT OUR CURRENT COLLECTIVE DEBT SERVICE.

SO THERE IS NOT IN THIS INSTANCE, THERE'S ANOTHER PLACE WHERE WE WORK TOGETHER VERY WELL.

THERE ISN'T A COUNTY CREDIT CARD AND A SCHOOL CREDIT CARD.

THERE'S JUST ONE COLLECTIVE DEBT PROGRAM THAT WE MANAGE.

SO THAT'S ALL OF OUR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, IF YOU WILL, SCHEDULED OUT THROUGH FISCAL 30.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE PAY THESE DOWN VERY AGGRESSIVELY.

NOT ALL LOCALITIES DO THAT.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A UNIQUE ASPECT.

SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT TRIPLE, TRIPLE A BOND RATING, THIS IS A BIG PART OF IT.

WE DO LEVEL PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS, MEANING THAT WE PAY LESS INTEREST OVER TIME AND ALSO MEANS THAT WE PAY THIS OFF MUCH QUICKER THAN A LOT OF PEER LOCALITIES MIGHT DO. SO WHAT IT GIVES YOU IS THIS NICE CASCADING EFFECT, SUCH AS WE LOOK AT THIS SAME CHART JUST IN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT WAY, THE PEACH REMAINS THAT'S REALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF THOSE BARS AND THE PRIOR SLIDE.

AND WE'RE ABLE TO ADD IN THIS GREEN SLICE OF PIE BY JUST ADDING SERIES AS ONE COMES OFF.

SO WHATEVER WE SOLD 20 YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, WE CAN SELL $50 MILLION THAT YEAR AND SO FORTH AND SO ON AND STACKED THOSE OVER THIS PERIOD OF TIME.

AND WHAT YOU SEE IS NO REAL MARKET PRESSURE OR INCREASE IN COLLECTIVE DEBT SERVICE EXPERIENCE BETWEEN COUNTY AND SCHOOLS.

YOU SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A GROWTH IN THE OUTER YEARS, BUT THAT'S REALLY WHAT YOU WANT.

WE WANT THAT DEBT SERVICE PAYMENT TO BE A CONSISTENT PERCENTAGE OF OUR OVERALL EXPENDITURE.

SO IF BUDGET GROWS, YOU NEED TO KEEP DEBT SERVICE EXPENDITURES THE SAME PROPORTION.

YOU DON'T WANT IT TO BE MORE, BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO BE LESS EITHER.

THAT REALLY REPRESENTS YOU ARE UNDERFUNDING IN YOUR CAPITAL FACILITY.

SO THIS IS A MODEL.

THESE RATES ARE GOING TO CHANGE.

CERTAINLY PROBABLY HAVE CHANGED SINCE I STARTED TALKING.

BUT NONETHELESS, FROM AN AFFORDABILITY PERSPECTIVE, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DEFINITELY MANAGE AS A COLLECTIVE ORGANIZATION.

THAT BEING SAID, I MENTIONED ALREADY THERE IS NO MEALS TAX THAT IS INCLUDED AS PART OF THIS DEBT SERVICE SHOULD GROW PROPORTIONALLY WITH THE BUDGET.

WE JUST LOOKED AT THAT REPRESENTATION AND THE OTHER GOOD NEWS IS THIS DOES NOT CROWD OUT.

WE AREN'T SAYING WE CAN PAY FOR THIS BECAUSE WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO DEDICATE ALL NEW REVENUES TO THIS.

IT SHOULD NOT CROWD OUT IS NOT SET UP TO CROWD OUT OTHER PRIORITIES THAT ARE GOING TO EMERGE.

WE ALL KNOW PAY IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE.

STAFFING IS CONTINUE TO BE AN ISSUE.

MAJOR MAINTENANCE AND OTHER THINGS THAT ARE FUNDED PRIMARILY WITH CASH ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE A PRIORITY.

SO WE STILL LEAVE THAT ABILITY, A COLLECTIVE ABILITY FOR THE ORGANIZATION BY PUTTING THIS PACKAGE TOGETHER THE WAY THAT WE HAVE.

HERE'S THE BALLOT QUESTION.

SHORT AND SWEET. ONE SIMPLE QUESTION.

VOTING YES ON THE QUESTION IS YOU ARE VOTING TO APPROVE THE PROJECTS AND APPROVE THE ISSUANCE OF THOSE GO BONDS.

AGAIN, YOU WON'T SEE THE SPECIFIC PROJECT NAMES.

THEY'RE JUST ROLL UP INTO THOSE FOUR CATEGORIES.

BUT YOU DO SEE THE TOTAL LISTED THERE, $540 MILLION.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THAT'S REALLY THE MODE THAT WE'VE BEEN IN.

WE DID A KICK OFF OF THIS FOR THE BOARD AT THEIR JULY MEETING, AND WE HAVE COLLECTIVELY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING SINCE THAT TIME PERIOD.

WE'VE DONE MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE MEETINGS EVERY SINGLE WEEK AND WE HAVE A VERY ACTIVE SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN.

WE'RE USING THE COUNTIES PODCAST AND BLOGS THAT HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PUSH OUT THIS INFORMATION.

THE FIRST MEETING WE ACTUALLY HAD WAS WITH ABOUT TEN OF OUR STAKEHOLDER GROUPS, INCLUDING A NUMBER OF EDUCATION INTERESTS THAT BROUGHT THEM TO THE TABLE, SHOWED THEM THE PRESENTATION, WERE ABLE TO MAKE TWEAKS AND CHANGES AND THEY HAVE ALL SPUN OUT AND PUSHED OUT INFORMATION THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE CHANNELS.

AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT WE RELY ON IS SORT OF THAT MULTIPLIER EFFECT FROM GROUPS LIKE THAT.

WE HAVE ONE COLLECTIVE WEBSITE THERE YOU SEE CHESTERFIELD.GOV/BOND.

[00:20:01]

ALL THE INFORMATION THAT WE ARE COLLECTING AND CREATING EVERY SINGLE DAY IS PUT UP THERE.

OUR COMMUNICATIONS MEDIA DEPARTMENT.

IF THE COUNTY JUST FINISHED A SCHOOL VIDEO, I THINK THAT'S IF THAT'S NOT PUBLISHED YET, IT SHOULD BE OUT THERE PRETTY SOON.

AND WE'VE DONE A VIDEO FOR EACH CATEGORY AS ONE SORT OF INTRODUCTORY CLIP, AND THAT'S GOTTEN A LOT OF VIEWS.

SO WE'RE REALLY HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING IN ALL OF THOSE AREAS.

WE DO HAVE THESE THESE HAVE BEEN VERY POPULAR, JUST SORT OF HAND OUT CARDS.

I'LL LEAVE THESE WITH YOU ALL.

IF YOU WANT ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THESE, YOU'VE GOT SOME JUST WHATEVER MEETING YOU'RE GOING TO AND YOU WANT THOSE.

JUST LET US KNOW WE'LL GET THOSE PRINTED FOR YOU.

BUT WE HAVE I THINK WE ARE CLOSE TO 10,000 COPIES OF THOSE DISTRIBUTED.

WE'RE GOING TO PUT THOSE AND UTILITY BILLS THAT ARE GOING OUT.

THAT'S AN EASY WAY FOR US TO DO IT.

THOSE ARE ALREADY GOING OUT. SO WE STUFFED THOSE TO TRYING TO GET IN FRONT OF INFORMATION IN FRONT OF AS MANY EYEBALLS AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.

AND YOU SEE LISTED THERE THE JOINT MEETING SCHEDULE THAT DR.

TYLUS REFERENCED IN HIS REMARKS.

AGAIN, VOTING INFORMATION.

THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS BEFORE, WE ARE OUT EARLIER THAN NORMAL.

WE TYPICALLY HAVE NOT DONE THIS UNTIL LABOR DAY OR LABOR DAY UP UNTIL EARLY NOVEMBER, BUT EARLY VOTING BEGINS IN LATE SEPTEMBER.

SO WE'VE REALLY BACKED OUR PROCESS UP 30 DAYS AND THAT'S WHY YOU ARE SEEING US OUT THERE.

BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH EVEN AFTER SEPTEMBER 23RD, ALL THE WAY THROUGH NOVEMBER, TO GET INFORMATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS OR ANY, AGAIN, LOVE FEEDBACK ON THE SLIDES OR ANYTHING THAT WE CAN ADD CHANGE, TWEAK, CLARIFY.

THAT'S VERY, VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. HARRIS, FOR THAT PRESENTATION.

I THINK IT'S VERY THOROUGH.

OBVIOUSLY, AS I'VE SEEN IT A FEW TIMES, BUT IT'S VERY THOROUGH AND GIVES A LOT OF GOOD INFORMATION FOR THE COMMUNITY BOARD MEMBERS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? YEAH. MR. HARTER. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

JUST A QUICK QUESTION.

AS YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN OUT SO FAR SPEAKING TO GROUPS OF PEOPLE, HAS THERE BEEN ANY CONSISTENT QUESTIONS THAT HAVE KEPT COMING UP TO THEM JUST SO THAT WE'RE AWARE AS WE START TO GO OUT TO THESE MEETINGS OR ANY OF THESE, LIKE A PARTICULAR TOPIC THAT PEOPLE WANT MORE CLARIFICATION ON? I THINK THE TWO THINGS THAT THAT TIMES THAT I'VE DONE IT HAVE BEEN ABOUT THE AFFORDABILITY COMPONENT.

YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T ENCOUNTERED ANY GROUP OR PERSON THAT DOESN'T THINK WE'VE MADE A GOOD CASE FOR THE CAPITAL FACILITY, THAT THEY BELIEVE IN THE LIST OF PROJECTS.

BUT EVERYONE RECOGNIZES THEY DON'T NECESSARILY WANT THEIR TAXES TO GO UP.

EVERYBODY'S SENSITIVE AND THE INTEREST ENVIRONMENT, INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT THAT WE'RE IN.

SO I THINK ONCE THEY UNDERSTAND THAT, IT'S JUST THE AUTHORITY THAT'S VESTED WITH US TO DO THIS OVER UP TO A DECADE THAT SEEMS TO TO EASE THOSE CONCERNS.

AND THEN THE OTHER PIECE IS, WELL, AS I MENTIONED, WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER PROJECT? AND AGAIN, WE'VE GOT THE LIST IN HERE.

WE'VE GOT A COUNTY WEBSITE THAT'S OUT THERE THAT HAS EVERYTHING, ALL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS.

AND THAT LEADS ME MAYBE TO A THIRD ONE.

WHERE ARE THE ROAD NEEDS NOW? THAT'S A BIG QUESTION THAT WE GET.

BUT WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THE [INAUDIBLE], YOU KNOW, SINCE WE EVEN STARTED THIS ENDEAVOR.

SO WE'VE KIND OF LET [INAUDIBLE] TO BE THE HORSE FOR OUR TRANSPORTATION NEEDS, THAT WE'RE ABLE TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON ROADS BECAUSE THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY PUT THAT IN PLACE.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO THAT TOOK A LOT OF PRESSURE OFF OF THIS PACKAGE.

THERE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN A $50 MILLION COMPONENT FOR TRANSPORTATION THAT'S NOW SPREAD ACROSS THE OTHER CATEGORIES.

SO WE JUST THE CHANCE FOR US TO REMIND FOLKS ABOUT [INAUDIBLE].

YEAH. AND I THINK WE HEARD THE SAME THINGS TO SOME OF THE SCHOOL SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT MAY COME UP ARE WHY IS THE SEQUENCE, YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS EMPHASIS WITHIN PROJECTS ARE CONCERNED AND THE DEGREE OF FLEXIBILITY IF OTHER NEEDS COME UP? AND THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE'VE HOPED THIS PRESENTATION CAN HELP ADDRESS THAT NOT ALL FUNDS THROUGH THE REFERENDUM ARE TARGETED AS THIS IS IT AS FAR AS HOW SPENDING TAKES PLACE. HI THE PRESENTATION IS WONDERFUL AND I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT'S IN IT.

I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT WE'VE REPEATEDLY HEARD FROM THE BOSS THAT 60% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY DON'T HAVE CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS.

SOME STATISTIC TO THAT EFFECT.

AND YET THE LARGEST PORTION OBVIOUSLY OF THIS REFERENDUM IS FOR SCHOOLS.

SO I'M FEELING LIKE WE NEED TO GIVE THE WHY FOR WHY SO MUCH IN SCHOOLS OTHER THAN, OH, WE NEED THESE PROJECTS BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING OR ANY DISCUSSION ABOUT OUR SCHOOLS ARE TREMENDOUSLY OVERCROWDED, THAT WE ARE HAVING CHILDREN EDUCATED IN TRAILERS.

AND THE WHY THE WHY DO WE NEED THESE NEW SCHOOLS, YOU KNOW, THE PARKS AND REC AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

[00:25:01]

AND ALSO THEN TALKING ABOUT PLAN B, WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS DOES NOT PASS AND OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM IS GOING TO SUFFER TREMENDOUSLY AND HAVE A REAL CRISIS IF WE DON'T GET THIS BOND REFERENDUM.

AND SO I DON'T I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHEN WE'RE OUT THERE PRESENTING THIS, WE WE TALK ABOUT THE URGENCY AND THE TREMENDOUS NEED, AS WELL AS JUST THIS IS NOT JUST FLUFF FROM THE SCHOOLS.

IT IS IT IS A GREAT NEED.

YES. YES, MA'AM. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HEAR THAT IN THE COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS.

I THINK WE CAN DEFINITELY WORK WITH DR.

TYLUS AND PUT IN SOME OF THE GROWTH STATISTICS FOR THE DIVISION.

I THINK IT CAN BOTH THINGS CAN BE TRUE THAT THE STATISTIC THAT YOU REFERENCED CAN BE TRUE.

WE ALL CAN SAY THE DIVISIONS ALSO ADDED THIS MANY STUDENTS SINCE THE LAST TIME WE SO WE CAN FEATHER THAT IN I THINK THE TO YOUR SECOND POINT YOU KNOW THE LAWYERS YOU KNOW THEY FOLLOW ME AROUND VERY CLOSELY WITH SHARP STICKS.

SO TO THE EXTENT THAT WE GET, YOU KNOW, TO YEAH, YEAH, YOU KNOW, THE FEELING.

SO WE REALLY HAVE TO WE HAVE TO WATCH THE LINE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE URGENCY AND SORT OF THOSE QUESTIONS.

BUT WE'LL GET RIGHT UP TO IT.

BUT I THINK YOU'RE ADDING IN SCHOOL WHY SLIDE, I THINK IS A GOOD ONE.

WE CAN DEFINITELY DO THAT.

BUT JUST TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION ON PLAN B, YOU KNOW, WE WE'VE NEVER HAD A REFERENDUM, A PROJECT REFERENDUM, EXCEPT FOR ONE THAT THAT FAILED.

SO WE HOPEFULLY WE REST ON THAT RECORD OF MAKING A GOOD CASE.

BUT THERE IS A WAITING PERIOD ESSENTIALLY THAT GOES INTO PLACE FOR THESE PROJECTS.

IT'S NOT THAT THEY CAN'T HAPPEN.

WE WOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS OTHER TYPES OF FINANCING, BUT THERE WOULD CERTAINLY BE A DELAY AND THIS PACKAGE WOULD PROBABLY TAKE TWICE AS LONG TO IMPLEMENT.

AND I WOULD ASSUME THE OTHER FINANCING WOULDN'T BE AS ADVANTAGEOUS FROM A RATE PERSPECTIVE.

NO, ABSOLUTELY.

THAT'S RIGHT. SO THAT'S ANOTHER REASON WHY THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT.

AND THERE IS AN URGENCY FOR THE SCHOOLS.

SO WAITING, IF WE DID NOT GET THIS BOND REFERENDUM, WAITING WOULD BE CATASTROPHIC FOR OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM.

YES, MA'AM. JOE, YOU HAD SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO ADD.

AND IN FAIRNESS TO MATT, HE DID KIND OF GO THROUGH QUICKLY THE SCHOOL SIDE OF THIS.

REALLY TO GIVE YOU THE BROAD COUNTY PERSPECTIVE FROM HIS PRESENTATION, EACH TIME THIS HAS GONE OUT, THERE IS THE EXPLANATION THAT PERTAINS TO THE RATIONALE BEHIND SCHOOLS TO WITH THE SERIES OF SLIDES THAT GO UP.

QUITE HONESTLY, THERE'S THE ISSUE OF HOW WE BALANCE EVEN KIND OF GROWTH WITH THE CONCEPT OF HOW DO WE REBUILD AND HONOR THAT THERE ARE AREAS WITHIN THE COUNTY THAT SOME OF THE FACILITIES HAVE AGED OUT.

SO TRYING TO COUNTERBALANCE THOSE THINGS AND EMPHASIZE THAT MESSAGE HAS BEEN PART OF THE PRESENTATION THAT'S BEEN MADE OUT IN THE PUBLIC SO FAR.

BUT AGAIN, WE CAN ALWAYS MODIFY WHAT'S WITHIN THE SLIDE DECK TO IF FOLKS ARE JUST READING THROUGH.

OUR HOPE IS THAT THIS DECK HAS AN UNBIASED INFORMATIONAL PIECE TO IT.

AND AGAIN, WHAT'S LED TO IT IS THAT VOICE THAT GOES KIND OF AS THE SCRIPT BEHIND EACH OF THOSE SLIDES AS THEY'RE PRESENTED.

SO THANK YOU FOR THAT GREAT PRESENTATION.

YOU KIND OF ALREADY SAW WHAT MY QUESTION WAS, BUT I THINK IT BEARS REPEATING.

SO WE'VE I THINK WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A VERY FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE COUNTY.

AND SO WHAT I HEARD YOU JUST SAY IS THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS ALSO BEEN ABLE TO PASS THE BOND REFERENDUMS HISTORICALLY THAT WE'VE NEEDED.

IS THAT CORRECT? YES, MA'AM.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

APPRECIATE THAT. NEXT, WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, DR.

[C. CCPS Strategic Plan]

WE DO APPRECIATE YOU BEING OUT TODAY IN ORDER TO GIVE US THAT BROAD OVERVIEW FROM THE INFORMATIONAL PERSPECTIVE.

OUR NEXT PRESENTATION IS FOCUSED ON THE SCHOOL DIVISION STRATEGIC PLAN IMAGINE TOMORROW.

AS WE LOOK AT THIS TOOL TO HELP GUIDE ALL OF OUR WORK WITHIN THE SCHOOL DIVISION.

IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO NOT ONLY ASSESS THE MEASURES WITHIN IT, BUT TO ALSO LOOK AT THE IMPORTANT WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE TO CONTINUE TO ALIGN IT AS CHANGES EVOLVE IN THE WORLD OVER TIME.

SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ABOUT A PANDEMIC THAT WE'VE KIND OF BEEN THROUGH THE LAST TWO YEARS.

OTHERS OF YOU ARE VERY AWARE OF AT THE STATE, THE LEADERSHIP CHANGES AND HOW THOSE STEPS MAY COME THROUGH VDOE DOWN INTO THE SCHOOLS.

SO TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE TAKEN PLACE OF THOSE PARTS THAT ARE THERE THAT ARE CONSTANTLY MOVING.

YOU TALK ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION AS A LIVING DOCUMENT.

SO IS OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

IT MUST BE A LIVING DOCUMENT THAT WE CONSTANTLY STEP INTO.

THIS AFTERNOON, THE CHIEFS WILL HIGHLIGHT THESE ADJUSTMENTS.

[00:30:01]

THOUGH, I DID WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK THEM AND THEIR TEAMS FOR THE EXTENSIVE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE IN THIS AREA TO HELP ENSURE THAT THE PLAN REMAINS TIMELY AND RELEVANT FOR ALL OF US.

I'M THE LEAD ON THIS PROJECT IS DESIGNATED BY DR.

DAUGHERTY IS DR.

SHARON POPE.

SHE'S DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB FROM A LEADERSHIP PERSPECTIVE IN THIS CAPACITY TOO, IN ORDER TO TRY TO PULL THE TEAMS TOGETHER IN THE CONCEPT OF MAKING SURE THAT INSTRUCTION STILL RINGS FORWARD AS THE MAIN POINT OF WHAT OUR WORK IS WITHIN THE SCHOOL DIVISION.

DR. DAUGHERTY EMPHASIZED THAT THROUGHOUT EACH OF OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SESSIONS THIS SUMMER, AND AGAIN, HOPEFULLY TODAY'S PRESENTATION FILES ALONG WITH THAT SAME RHYTHMIC FEEL THAT YOU'LL SEE, WE'RE STILL ATTUNED TO OUR CORE MISSION, WHICH IS EDUCATING KIDS AND THE WHOLE PURPOSE AS TO WHY WE'RE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

SO WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO BRING SHARON UP TO THE MIC.

AS WE DO THAT, WE'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO KICK YOU INTO THE BACK TO SCHOOL MODE, SHARON IS GOING TO ASSIST ME HERE AS WE HAND OUT YOUR BACKPACKS TO GET YOU SET TO KICK IN.

I WILL GIVE CREDIT COMPLETELY TO SHARON ON THIS.

I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS, BUT WE ARE HAPPY TO TO HAND OUT AT THIS POINT SO THAT YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE STEPPING INTO THE SCHOOL MODE AS WE TALK ABOUT SCHOOLS AND OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

OH, THAT'S FUNNY [LAUGHTER]. WELL, THERE ARE ACTUALLY MATERIALS IN THE BACKPACK THAT MAY ASSIST YOU IN THIS PRESENTATION, SO WE'LL GIVE YOU A MOMENT TO DIG IN AND PULL OUT YOUR WORKBOOK.

MAYBE YOU'LL ALSO WANT THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

SINCE THIS IS A WORK SESSION.

I JUST HAVE TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN CONVERSATIONAL, THAT I HAVE BEEN CARRYING AROUND.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THIS WAS MY PIANO RECITAL FOLDER WHEN I WAS LIKE 12.

AND IT JUST BROKE BECAUSE IT WAS TOO FULL.

SO THIS IS.

THANK YOU. ABSOLUTELY.

WELL YOU HAVE A PENCIL BOX . IT MAY ACTUALLY HELP YOU TO HAVE THE WORKBOOK THAT'S THE THE BLUE FOLDER IS OUR CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN AS IT'S APPROVED IN CASE YOU WANT TO MAKE REFERENCE TO THAT.

DAUGHERTY SAYS, THIS IS A YEAR WHERE WE ARE TRULY REFOCUSING ON INSTRUCTION.

IT'S SOMETIMES HARD TO SAY, WELL, WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? SO WE DID GIVE YOU A COPY OF OUR BEST PRACTICES THROUGHOUT OUR CLASSROOMS. OUR INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE BOOK AND ALL OF OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ANCHORED IN THAT BOOK THIS YEAR.

SO WE THOUGHT YOU'D WANT YOUR OWN COPY OF THAT AS WELL.

ALL RIGHT. SO I GUESS I WILL BEGIN.

GREETINGS, BOARD CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS AND DR.

DAUGHERTY. TODAY, THE DIVISION LEADERS WILL BE PRESENTING TO YOU METRICS UPDATES DURING THIS ANNUAL STRATEGIC PLAN PROGRESS REVIEW.

WE PRESENT THIS REPORT AS EXPECTED, PER CCP POLICY 1013 AND THE STANDARDS OF QUALITY SECTION SECTION 6 PLANNING AND PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT. THROUGHOUT THE SLIDE DECK, METRICS IMPACTED BY COVID ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW.

FOLLOWING EACH DIVISION CHIEF SECTION.

IF THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS, CHANGES OR ADDITIONS, THE PRESENTING CHIEF WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE.

PER POLICY 1013 BOARD ACTION IS REQUIRED TO MAKE CHANGES TO OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND THAT WOULD OCCUR AT A FUTURE MEETING.

SO HOPEFULLY TODAY YOU'RE JUST THINKING THROUGH THESE AS WE DISCUSS THEM.

AS EXPECTED WHEN IMAGINE TOMORROW WAS APPROVED.

AND AS DR. TYLUS REFERENCED, THE STRATEGIC PLAN WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO REMAIN A FLEXIBLE DOCUMENT THAT CAN ADAPT, ADOPT OR ABANDON COMPONENTS AS NEEDED TO BEST SERVE THE NEEDS OF CCPS STUDENTS AND STAFF THROUGHOUT THE SEVEN YEAR IMPLEMENTATION.

WHENEVER IN THIS DECK YOU SEE A WHITE TEXT BOX IN THE UPPER CORNER OF A SLIDE, THERE WILL BE A PROPOSED CHANGE OR ADDITIONS MADE AT THE END OF THAT SECTION. SO YOU CAN SEE A PICTURE THERE OF THE BOX.

THE WORKBOOK LINKED IN THIS DECK, AS WELL AS PRINTED FOR YOU ALONG WITH THE CURRENTLY APPROVED STRATEGIC PLAN IN THE BLUE FOLDER ARE PRESENTED FOR YOUR

[00:35:05]

THIS IS OUR FOURTH YEAR REPORTING OUT METRICS FOR THE STRATEGIC PLAN IMAGINE TOMORROW, WHICH WAS APPROVED BY THE PREVIOUS SCHOOL BOARD IN AUGUST 2018. ACROSS THE REPORTING YEARS, YOU CAN SEE AN OVERVIEW OF COMPUTABLE METRICS.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN 2018-19, WE WERE ABLE TO COMPUTE 15 OF 26 METRICS AS MANY MEASURES WERE STILL BEING ESTABLISHED. THIS SLIDE ALSO SUMMARIZES THE NUMBER OF METRICS IMPACTED OR NOT REPORTABLE DUE TO COVID.

FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE CURRENT YEAR, 14 OF 19 COMPUTABLE MEASURES WERE IMPACTED BY COVID.

AND AGAIN, REMEMBER, THEY WILL BE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW IN THE SLIDE DECK.

SO WITH THAT LITTLE BIT OF INTRO TIME FOR YOU TO KIND OF SET YOUR WORKSPACE, I WILL NOW TURN IT OVER TO BOB MEISTER AND HE WILL COME UP, FOLLOWED BY OUR OTHER CHIEFS.

AND I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN AT THE END.

YEAH. NOT SURE HOW I GOT THE SPOT RIGHT AFTER BACKPACKS, BUT, MADAM CHAIR, SUPERINTENDENT OF MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, THANK YOU FOR THE TIME. TODAY I'LL SPEAK TO YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BUSINESS AND FINANCE ASPECT OF THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

AND IT REALLY BOILS DOWN TO THREE THINGS, ONE OF WHICH IS SUSTAINABILITY, WHICH IS ANCHORED IN OUR ANNUAL AND LONG TERM PLANNING ACTIVITIES.

THE SECOND OF WHICH IS EQUITY, WHICH IS REALLY ABOUT ENSURING THAT WE DO NOT USE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH ACROSS OUR SCHOOLS.

AND LASTLY, RETURN ON INVESTMENT, ENSURING WE'RE DOING EVERYTHING THAT WE SHOULD TO DEMONSTRATE POSITIVE IMPACT OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE PUT FORWARD.

SO I WILL LEAD OFF WITH SUSTAINABILITY.

THE GOAL OF THIS IS REALLY TO FOCUS ON THE FUNDING THAT ENABLES THE REST OF THE DISCUSSION THAT YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR TODAY TO ENSURE THAT THOSE STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVES ACTUALLY HAPPEN.

WE'LL DO THAT THROUGH THREE PRIMARY VEHICLES, AS NOTED HERE, ONE OF WHICH IS OUR ANNUAL BUDGET, ONE OF WHICH IS OUR FIVE YEAR OR LONG TERM FINANCIAL PLAN.

AND THE LAST IS OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN, STARTING FIRST WITH OUR ANNUAL BUDGET.

YOU'VE HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THIS A LOT OVER THE LAST 6 TO 8 MONTHS, SO I WON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME ON THIS.

BUT WHAT THIS SHOWS IS THE THREE KEY FOCAL POINTS OF DR.

DAUGHERTY AND THE SCHOOL BOARD FROM LAST YEAR'S BUDGET THAT WAS RECENTLY COMPLETED, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

AND WE WERE ABLE TO DELIVER ON MOST OF WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR AND DELIVERED A PRETTY SOLID PLAN HERE.

YOU NOTICE INVEST IN WORKFORCE WHICH REALLY EVOLVED INTO SALARY STUDY ONE, PHASE TWO SALARY STUDY TWO, PHASE ONE AND SOME STATE SUPPORTED BONUSES AS WELL. IN OUR CURRENT BUDGET, WE WERE ABLE TO INVEST SIGNIFICANTLY IN OUR STUDENTS AS WELL AS IN OUR INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH OUR FY 23 BUDGET PROCESS THAT YOU HELPED SEE THROUGH THE FINISH LINE ONLY RECENTLY.

THAT NATURALLY ROLLS INTO OUR LONGER TERM, OUR FIVE YEAR PLAN.

THIS SLIDE IN THE FOLLOWING ONE.

OUR SLIDES HAVE ACTUALLY SHOWN YOU AS PART OF THE BUDGET PROCESS AND THE BUDGET WORK SESSIONS, AND YOU CAN SEE THE KEY PRIORITIES FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT'S BUDGET.

ULTIMATELY, THE BOARD'S BUDGET DID ROLL INTO OUR LONG TERM PLAN WITH THOSE FOCUSES BEING ON COMPENSATION, STUDENT NEEDS AND INFRASTRUCTURE.

AS YOU STACK THOSE UP INTO A FINANCIAL VIEW AND THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE VIEW WE SHOWED YOU IN IN ABOUT FEBRUARY THIS YEAR, THAT LEADS TO A BUDGET TRAJECTORY THAT GETS US JUST OVER $1 MILLION BY FY 27 WITH REALLY THE BIG GROWTH AREAS, NOT SURPRISINGLY, BEING COMPENSATION AS IT CONTINUES TO BE A PRIORITY FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT AND THE BOARD, AS WELL AS, OF COURSE ADDRESSING ONGOING STUDENT NEEDS, INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS AND OTHER ITEMS. A BIG PIECE OF THAT OTHER ITEM, AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT BEFORE, IS ENSURING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF SOME OF THOSE PILOT PROGRAMS RELATED TO ESSER, AND WE'LL TALK ABOUT THOSE A LITTLE BIT AS WE GO FORWARD.

LASTLY, AS WE THINK ABOUT LONGER TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING, OF COURSE, IS OUR CIP, OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

YOU HEARD MR. HARRIS AND DR.

TYLUS TALK A FAIR AMOUNT ABOUT THIS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PLANNED REFERENDUM IN NOVEMBER.

BUT YOU NOTICE THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THINGS GOING ON.

NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THOSE OTHER PROJECTS OUTSIDE OF THE REFERENDUM THAT WE HAVE ON OUR RADAR, INCLUDING THE TWO MIDDLE SCHOOL PROJECTS THAT WERE KICKED OFF PRIOR TO ANY REFERENDUM FUNDING, THANKS TO THE [INAUDIBLE] FUNDING AS WELL AS THE COUPLE OF PROJECTS ON THE OTHER SIDE [INAUDIBLE] MIDDLE COMPLETION THAT IS A STATED BOARD PRIORITY THAT IS ALSO ON OUR RADAR BUT HASN'T BEEN INCLUDED AS PART OF THAT COMMUNITY FACILITIES BOND PROGRAM.

SO WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE GOING FROM THE BUDGET TO THE FIVE YEAR PLAN TO THE CIP HERE IS ENSURING THAT THIS BOARD HAS THOUGHT THROUGH THE LONGER TERM IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINANCES OF THE OF THE DISTRICT TO ENSURE, AS I SAID, THAT WE'RE ABLE TO EXECUTE ON EVERYTHING ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES WILL SAY AFTER I SIT DOWN

[00:40:09]

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE REALLY IS THROUGH TWO LENSES FROM OUR STANDPOINT.

ONE IS THROUGH OUR SCHOOL STAFFING MODELS, WHICH ARE REALLY WHAT DICTATES THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN OUR CLASSROOMS, AS WELL AS OUR DIFFERENTIATED FUNDING MODEL, WHICH HELPS DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUNDING OUR PRINCIPALS HAVE TO HELP SUPPORT THE NEEDS WITHIN THE BUILDING.

AND I'LL SPEAK TO EACH OF THOSE.

IN TURN, OUR STAFFING ALLOCATION YOU SEE ON PAGE 12 IS DEFINITELY NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL APPROACH.

WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEEDS OF THE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS, INCLUDING SUCH OBVIOUS FACTORS AS PROJECTED ENROLLMENT, AS WELL AS THE MAKEUP OF THAT ENROLLMENT.

RIGHT. THE DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS, ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED PERCENTAGES, STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS, ETC., REALLY TO ENSURE THAT THE STAFFING WE'RE ALLOCATING TO EACH INDIVIDUAL BUILDING IS RIGHT AND APPROPRIATE FOR EACH OF THOSE BUILDINGS.

AND THEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THAT THROUGH ANOTHER LENS, WHICH IS A TIERING SYSTEM WHERE IF YOU HAVE TIER ONE, TWO OR THREE, YOU ARE GIVEN ADDITIONAL SUPPORT ON TOP OF WHATEVER THAT ADDITIONAL OR THAT FORMULAIC STAFFING MODEL WOULD PRESENT, DEPENDING ON SORT OF A PREPONDERANCE OF EVIDENCE THAT SAYS YOU WOULD NEED IT.

SO WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE ULTIMATELY IS THIS METRIC FOR STAFF IN BUILDING PER 100 STUDENTS.

THE POINT OF THIS SLIDE ISN'T TO SAY WHO'S AT THE HIGH END, WHO'S AT THE LOW END.

THE POINT OF THIS SLIDE AND THE SUBSEQUENT ONE ON SECONDARY IS TO SAY THAT EACH OF THESE INDIVIDUAL SCHOOLS ARE GIVEN THE STAFFING THEY NEED TO MEET THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS.

THAT MEANS YOUR FOLKS WITH MORE NEED MORE, BECAUSE PERHAPS THEY HAVE MORE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, MORE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS, ETC., AND WILL STAFF ACCORDINGLY.

AND THAT LEADS TO, AS I SAID, A RANGE OF STAFFING AT BOTH THE ELEMENTARY LEVEL, AS YOU SEE ON 13 AND SECONDARY AS YOU SEE ON 14.

THE LAST AREA RELATED TO EQUITY I'LL SPEAK OF IS DIFFERENTIATED FUNDING.

THIS WAS A HUGE INITIATIVE FOR THIS BOARD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO IN OUR BUDGET WE WERE ABLE TO GET A NEW AND REFRESHED MODEL IN PLACE GOING FROM ROUGHLY A $60 OR SO ALLOCATION PER STUDENT.

NO MATTER TO WHAT YOU SEE IN FRONT OF YOU HERE, WHERE THAT ALLOCATION PER STUDENT HAS INCREASED MATERIALLY TO $90 PLUS ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS TO REALLY HELP DIFFERENTIATE THE FUNDING PROVIDED TO THOSE PRINCIPALS AND TO THOSE SCHOOLS BASED ON BASED ON NEED.

WHAT THAT HAS LED TO, AND THIS IS ONLY A FEW EXAMPLES HERE OF WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IS MORE FUNDING FOR ALL SCHOOLS AND ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT HAVE MORE NEED.

SO JUST TAKING A LOOK AT THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU CAN SEE BENSLEY UNDER THE OLD CONSTRUCT WOULD HAVE RECEIVED JUST UNDER $35,000 UNDER THE NEW CONSTRUCT, INCLUDING THAT ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED, ETC.

THAT NUMBER GOES UP TO $71,000, SO A CLOSE TO A DOUBLING OF FUNDING PROVIDED TO BENSLEY ELEMENTARY.

WEAVER, ON THE OTHER END OF THE ECONOMIC SPECTRUM HAD BEEN GETTING JUST OVER $42,000.

IN THE NEW MODEL, THEY STILL INCREASE MATERIALLY TO $55,000 TO $12,000 INCREASE FOR WEAVER AS WELL, KNOWING THAT THERE ARE NEEDS THERE AS WELL.

BUT WE'RE ABLE TO BETTER DIFFERENTIATE THOSE FUNDING'S BETWEEN THOSE TWO SCHOOLS.

IF YOU WANT TO USE THOSE TWO AS AN EXAMPLE, YOU CAN SEE OTHER EXAMPLES FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL HERE.

I WON'T WALK THROUGH THEM FOR THE SAKE OF TIME, BUT YOU CAN GENERALLY SEE HOW THAT PLAYS OUT HERE.

THE LAST OBJECTIVE IN 2.5 IS RELATED TO RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

THIS IS ONE WHERE I DON'T HAVE METRICS TO SHARE PER SE FOR THE BOARD, BUT I DO WANT TO COMMENT ON SOME OF THE POSITIVE PROGRESS WE'RE MAKING ON THIS ON THIS DIMENSION.

WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO LEVERAGE EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE WHEREVER POSSIBLE TO ENSURE THE PROGRAMS WE ARE PUTTING IN PLACE WORK.

A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT IS OUR RECENT CHANGE INTO THE SCIENCE OF READING CURRICULUM.

THIS APPROACH HAS BEEN TESTED AND VERIFIED ACROSS THE INDUSTRY AND WE ARE ENSURING THE PROGRAM ALIGNS WITH EVIDENCE BASED LEARNING, REALLY LEVERAGING OUTSIDE IN TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE BRINGING THE BEST OF WHAT WE CAN INTO THE DISTRICT AS IT'S BEEN PROVEN OUTSIDE.

SECONDLY, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE SEEKING A STRONG RETURN ON INVESTMENT WITHIN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.

A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THIS WORK IN PROCESS IS AROUND THE SEVERAL PILOT PROGRAMS WE HAVE ONGOING THAT HAVE LEVERAGED THE FEDERAL ESSER FUNDS TO GET STARTED.

WE HAVE THUS FAR WORKED WITH BOTH A CONSORTIUM OF LARGE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ON THE FRAMEWORK AND A NETWORK OF OUR RESEARCH AND EVALUATION TEAM WORKS WITH TO REALLY PUT TOGETHER A FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATING THE RETURN ON INVESTMENT SO THAT WHEN IT DOES BECOME TIME LIKELY IN THIS NEXT BUDGET CYCLE TO START TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THOSE ESSER FUNDED PILOTS INTO OUR OPERATING PLAN, WE'RE DOING IT BASED ON BASED ON DATA, BASED ON WHAT IS EFFECTIVE.

AND YOU'LL SEE, NO DOUBT, SOME OF THAT ROLL OUT AS WE ENTER THE NEXT COUPLE OF BUDGET CYCLES AS WE LOOK TO ULTIMATELY INCORPORATE THOSE WHEN THAT ESSER FUNDING DOES

[00:45:03]

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR.

THANK YOU, MR. MEISTER.

BOARD MEMBERS. ANY DISCUSSION? COMMENTS, QUESTIONS? GO AHEAD. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

REALLY QUICK ON THE DIFFERENTIATED FUNDS, SOMETHING THAT I'VE SPOKEN WITH A NUMBER OF MEMBERS ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ABOUT AS WELL, AND ACTUALLY TO A FEW TEACHERS WITH THAT DIFFERENTIATE OF FUNDING.

I KNOW A LOT OF TEACHERS RECENTLY HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR SUPPLIES AND THINGS FROM THE COMMUNITY.

THAT DIFFERENTIATED FUNDING WAS MEANT TO TARGET THESE SCHOOLS AND ALLOW THEM TO MAKE MORE PURCHASES FOR THE THINGS THAT THEY DO NEED IN THEIR CLASSROOMS, CORRECT? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. THIS IS REALLY INTENDED FOR PRINCIPALS CHOICE, WHAT IS NEEDED AT THEIR PARTICULAR SCHOOL, IF THAT IS PENCILS AND PAPER, IF THAT IS WHATEVER, A LAWNMOWER.

RIGHT. I THINK THAT'S ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WHATEVER IS THE MOST NEED AT THAT INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL.

THE ONLY THING MAYBE I WOULD ASK AND IF ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE SOMETHING TO CHIME IN, IS JUST IF WE COULD MAKE SURE THAT THAT MESSAGE IS GETTING DOWN TO EVERYONE, BECAUSE I'M NOT 100% SURE THAT ALL THE TEACHERS AND STAFF HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE.

I THINK ACTUALLY COMMUNICATION WENT OUT RECENT LAST WEEK, GIVEN A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL AS FAR AS WHAT THAT SCHOOL APPLICATION FUNDING COVERS. AND YES, THINGS LIKE PENCILS AND PAPER ARE AVAILABLE.

AND I DID HAVE ONE QUESTION REAL QUICK.

SEE IF THE OTHER COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY OTHERS.

THE NATIONAL FRAMEWORK, I THINK, WAS YOUR LAST SLIDE WHERE YOU'RE EVALUATING RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

CAN YOU GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL LIKE HOW THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED? IS IT A IT'S AN INTERNAL PROGRAM ON HOW WE'RE DOING.

THERE'S A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT THINGS WE'RE LOOKING AT THERE.

RIGHT. FIRST IS THE THE NATIONAL FRAMEWORK.

THERE IS A CONSORTIUM OF CFOS THAT HAVE GOTTEN TOGETHER THAT I'M PART OF THAT HAVE LOOKED AT AND SAID, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO EVALUATE THIS, SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING TO ESSER FUNDS, BUT IT CAN BE APPLIED ELSEWHERE, RIGHT? SO LOOKING AT IT FROM A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT FRAMEWORKS, THE FIRST IS IMPLEMENTATION, RIGHT? HAVE WE BEEN ABLE TO STAND UP THE PROGRAM AND DO IT IN A WAY THAT MAKES SENSE? SO YOU CAN THINK ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE TUTORING, A BIG PIECE OF IS TUTORING EFFECTIVE IS DO YOU HAVE THE TEACHERS TO TUTOR? RIGHT. SO HOW DO WE EVALUATE THAT PIECE OF IT? AND THEN THERE'S A PIECE THAT YOU WOULD PROBABLY THINK OF WHEN YOU THINK OF TUTORING IS ARE WE MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO THE KID, WHICH IS THE OUTCOME PIECE? SO BEING ABLE TO LOOK AT IT FROM BOTH PERSPECTIVES OF WHAT IS THE IMPLEMENTATION LOOK LIKE AND ARE WE ABLE TO STAND UP THE GIVEN PROGRAM? SPEAKING OF TUTORING AS AN EXAMPLE AND WHAT IS THE RESULT? AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE RESULT, THAT'S WHERE WE'RE STARTING TO REALLY THINK THROUGH AND LEVERAGE FOLKS LIKE THE RESEARCH AND EVALUATION TEAM TO REALLY LEVERAGE MORE OF THE BEST PRACTICES ACROSS EDUCATION.

AND THEY'RE WORKING WITH FOLKS ON THAT SIDE OF THE EVALUATION TO STAND UP.

REALLY, WHAT DOES WHAT DOES THAT ROI? WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PROJECT? NEEDLESS TO SAY, THERE'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL TO THAT.

I COME FROM BANKING.

IT USED TO BE WHAT'S THE NET PRESENT VALUE OF THIS INDIVIDUAL PROJECT? THAT'S PRETTY SIMPLE CONCEPT THAT DOESN'T APPLY HERE.

SO EACH OF THOSE INDIVIDUAL INVESTMENTS ARE BEING LOOKED AT SPECIFICALLY AND INDIVIDUALLY BASED ON WHAT IS THE DATA THAT WE'RE ABLE TO COLLECT AND THEN WHAT IS THE RESULTS OF THOSE DATA? IT IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS SORT OF ONE SIMPLE METRIC, UNFORTUNATELY, WHICH IS WHY I DON'T HAVE A PRETTY LITTLE CHART HERE THAT SAYS WE ARE GENERATING NPV OF 12 . SINCE THIS IS WORK SESSION CONVERSATION.

I'LL JUST ADD IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF WORDS FOR ARE WE GETTING THE MOST BANG FOR OUR BUCK PERCENT? AND THAT BASICALLY THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR.

I HOPE YOU COME UP WITH SOMETHING.

BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS IN EDUCATION THAT ARE NOT QUANTITATIVE YOU CANNOT QUANTIFY.

AND SO, LIKE YOU'RE SAYING, IS TUTORING OR PAYING TEACHERS TEA MONEY TO WORK AFTER HOURS FOR TUTORING PROGRAMS. ARE WE GETTING OUR VALUE FOR THOSE DOLLARS? THAT'S A VERY DIFFICULT THING TO QUANTIFY, I WOULD IMAGINE.

AND SO I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT YOU COME UP WITH BECAUSE BUT BUT IT'S A WORTHWHILE ENDEAVOR TO COME UP WITH THAT.

AND IF IT'S A YOU'RE IN A CONSORTIUM, A LOT OF VERY BRIGHT PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY GOING TO BE THINKING ALONG THOSE LINES.

BUT I HOPE THERE'S SOME EDUCATORS THAT ARE IN THERE THINKING ALONG WITH THEM, BECAUSE IT'S ONE OF THE THINGS TEACHERS HAVE ALWAYS SAID IS YOU REALLY CAN'T PUT A DOLLAR SUM TO THE VALUE OF WHAT I'VE DONE 100%.

AND SO JUST SOMETHING TO CHIME IN ON.

AND THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT FINANCE OFF ON AN ISLAND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.

WE'RE REALLY WORKING EXTREMELY CLOSELY WITH DR.

POPE'S TEAM, DR. FOX AND HER EVALUATION TEAM ON HOW TO PUT THIS TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT DOES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHAT ARE THE TEACHERS THINK.

[00:50:03]

YEAH. A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

THREE, I THINK KIND OF ALONG SIDE THAT NOTE, I REMEMBER THE CITIZENS BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BEFORE I WAS ON THE BOARD, I USED TO ATTEND CPI MEETINGS AND KNOWING THAT THIS IS SO IMPORTANT BUT ALSO IT'S TRICKY AND REQUIRES STAFF TIME, I FELT THAT WE WERE NOT ADEQUATELY STAFFED TO REALLY DIG IN TO OUR ROI AND SO BACK STAFF TO KIND OF MAKE A PRESENTATION TO THE COMMITTEE ON KIND OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE TO HAVE A FULLY STAFFED DATA AND EVALUATION TEAM.

SO ONE THING I LIKE TO DO IS TO KIND OF TIE OUR, OUR GOALS.

SO THE BUDGET RIGHT TO THE, LET'S SAY IN THE NEXT BUDGET, WE INCREASED OUR INVESTMENT IN OUR DR.

FOX'S TEAM.

WELL, THIS IS WHY IT'S ATTACHED TO TWO POINT OBJECTIVE 2.5.

SO I'M CURIOUS, THIS WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

WHERE ARE WE NOW THAT WE'RE MAKING THIS A BIGGER FOCUS? WHERE DO WE NEED TO GO? SO PAUSE BETWEEN MY THREE QUESTIONS.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT YOU TO NECESSARILY STEP ON DR.

FOX OR DR. POPE'S FEET IN TERMS OF THE INITIATIVE.

I KNOW THAT THEY'VE GOTTEN A COUPLE OF REALLY FANTASTIC FOLKS ON DR.

FOX'S TEAM THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH WHO I THINK THE WORLD OF, AND THEY ARE DEFINITELY IN THE RIGHT SPOT.

I THINK THEY WOULD ALWAYS ADVOCATE MORE IS BETTER.

BUT THAT BEING SAID, I THINK THEY'VE MADE A THEY'VE MADE SOME FANTASTIC PROGRESS.

SIMILARLY, ON THE FINANCE SIDE, WE'VE DONE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS WITHIN OUR FINANCE AND BUDGET STAFF.

DO WE HAVE TIME TO NECESSARILY DIG INTO THIS? AS MUCH AS WE WOULD LIKE LARGELY LANDS ON ME IS LOOKING AT IT.

SO I THINK THERE'S EFFORTS THERE TO POTENTIALLY CONSIDER AS WELL.

I'M NOT GOING TO STAND HERE NECESSARILY AND ADVOCATE WITHOUT AN ROI ON MY OWN SET OF INVESTMENTS, BUT I THINK IT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

THEN THE SECOND ONE, BECAUSE WE'VE ALSO, AS A BOARD REALLY DUG INTO LOOKING AT OUR MAINTENANCE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS, ETC.. AND I REMEMBER ONE FIGURE THAT WAS BROUGHT UP OF YEARS AGO AGAIN AND WE ARE SO WE'RE SORELY BELOW THE NUMBER, BUT THAT ABOUT 2.5% OF YOUR CAPITAL PORTFOLIO SHOULD BE SET ASIDE FOR CAPITAL MAINTENANCE.

SO WHERE ARE WE NOW? ARE WE I'M SURE WE'RE NOT AT 2.5% YET, BUT LIKE, IS THIS ALSO JUST ONE OF THE GOALS THAT WE'RE KIND OF WORKING ON MAKING PROGRESS? IT'S ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE GOALS WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS ON.

I DON'T HAVE THAT NUMBER OFF THAT I CAN GO BACK AND PARTNER WITH JOSH DAVIS AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT IS FOR YOU.

BUT IT IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE ARE TRACKING, NOT NECESSARILY WITH RESPECT TO SORT OF THE ESSER FUNDS IN PARTICULAR, ALTHOUGH THOSE DO CONTRIBUTE NATURALLY.

IT IS A PART OF OUR LONGER TERM REVIEW AND METRICS THAT WE LOOK AT RELATIVELY FREQUENTLY WITH MR. DAVIS AND HIS TEAM. YEAH, I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD WHEN WE SHARE WITH THE PUBLIC, LOOK, IT WAS, YOU KNOW, WE ONLY HAD 1%.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE NUMBER, BUT IT WAS NOT GREAT.

AND NOW WE'RE AT TWO OR JUST IT SHOWS HOW MUCH WORK WE'VE DONE AS A BOARD.

WE GET TO SHOW OFF A LITTLE BIT.

AND THEN THE THIRD THING IS THE DIFFERENTIATED FUNDING WITH INFLATION RATE, THE $90, WHICH WAS GREAT.

I THINK IT'S NOW TWO YEARS AGO WHEN WE HOW WAS IT TWO YEARS? SO WHAT DOES THAT FIGURE NEED TO BE TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT INFLATION? YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK AT THAT AS PART OF OUR UPCOMING BUDGET PROCESS.

THAT WILL BE ONE OF THE LINE ITEMS THAT WE WILL DEFINITELY STARE AT AND SAY, HEY, GIVEN THE INCREASE FROM GIVE OR TAKE 60 TO 90 PLUS THE ADDITIONAL, WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE INCREASE TO LAYER ON GIVEN IT'LL BE THREE YEARS BY THE TIME THAT DOLLARS IS ACTUALLY BEING UTILIZED.

BUT WE'LL DEFINITELY SEE THAT AS PART OF OUR BUDGET DISCUSSIONS IN JANUARY/ FEBRUARY.

I JUST I'M THINKING OUT LOUD HERE, BUT IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF THAT COULD BE LIKE SOME FORMULA DRIVEN THAT WAS ALWAYS GUARANTEED TO BE LOOKED AT BECAUSE WHEN WE ASK FOR THAT NUMBER TO BE LOOKED AT, I REMEMBER BEING TOLD THAT NO ONE COULD GO BACK AND FIND THE ITERATION OF THE $54 STUDENT HEAD, AND THEY COULD THEY WERE GOING BACK INTO THE EARLY 2000S AND COULDN'T EVEN AND SO IT WAS THAT SOME FOR DECADES WE WOULD HATE FOR THIS $90 TO HAVE THAT SAME EXPERIENCE THAT 15 YEARS FROM NOW THEY'RE STILL RECEIVING ONLY $90 PER STUDENT IN THEIR DIFFERENTIAL FUNDING AND THEIR FUNDING FOR THE GENERAL FUND.

SO I'M WONDERING IF THERE IS A WAY WE COULD SHOW ON POLICY REVIEW THAT THAT NUMBER IS LOOKED AT ANNUALLY BY WHAT IF SOMETHING

[00:55:01]

MADAM CHAIR, THERE HAVE BEEN FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS OR SUGGESTIONS THAT ALL.

WIRE INCREASE FUNDING.

YEAH. AND WELL, WE DON'T WE DON'T HAVE THAT AUTHORITY FOR INCREASED FUNDING.

AND I'D HATE FOR US TO HAVE MEASURES THAT WE WOULD BE NEGATIVE IN PRESENTING WHEN IT IS NOT OUR RESPONSIBILITY.

WE WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO LOOK AT FUNDING AND WANT TO DO IT, BUT WE DO NOT CONTROL THE ALLOCATION WE RECEIVE FROM THE COUNTY OR THE STATE.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO CAUTION THE BOARD, IS THAT WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO AND WHAT WE CAN DO ARE DRASTIC SOMETIME.

NOT THAT THEY'RE NOT GREAT IDEAS, BUT WE COME TO THIS BOARD AND WE'RE STARTING NEXT FY 24 BUDGET SOON.

AND HERE'S WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO.

BUT WE KNOW HERE'S WHAT WE CAN DO.

AND SO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE THAT WE DO BRING UP A LOT OF DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.

BUT FOR EXAMPLE, THIS YEAR WHERE A LOT OF THINGS WE WANTED TO DO, BUT WE WE SETTLED ON MAKING SURE OUR STAFFS WERE PAID ADEQUATELY AND APPROPRIATELY. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE A CONTINUE ISSUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS.

AND SO JUST I'D HATE FOR US TO PUT THINGS INTO POLICY OR INTO OUR PLAN THAT WE CANNOT CONTROL AT ALL.

BUT WE DO LOOK LIKE THE THREE THINGS IT RETAINS ADDRESS.

WE DO LOOK AT THE POINT THAT MS. BARRY LOOKED AT. WE DO LOOK AT AND I THINK THESE ARE THINGS THAT ARE DISCUSSED DURING OUR BUDGET OPPORTUNITIES.

SO THAT'S ALL RIGHT AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, BUT WE CONTROL OUR ASK.

WE MAY NOT CONTROL WHAT WE GET, BUT WE CERTAINLY CAN CONTROL WHAT WE ASK FOR.

AND I THINK ALL I WAS SUGGESTING IS THAT FUTURE BOARDS BE REMINDED THAT THAT NUMBER IS NOT SET IN STONE AND THERE WOULD BE SOME WAY IN WHICH, BECAUSE WE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE THAT THAT NUMBER WAS THE SAME FOR DECADES.

SO OBVIOUSLY BOARDS PRIOR TO US DID NOT LOOK AT IT AND IT STAYED THE SAME FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS.

I JUST I JUST DON'T WANT FUTURE BOARDS TO NOT BE AWARE.

AND YOU WILL NOT ALWAYS BE THE SUPERINTENDENT.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING I MEAN, YOU KNOW, ONE DAY YOU MAY CHOOSE TO RETIRE AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE WILL COME IN AND THEY WILL NOT EVEN HAVE AN INKLING THAT THAT NUMBER IS STILL SITTING AT $90 A HEAD.

THAT'S ALL JUST SOME WAY TO REMIND WHETHER WE'RE IN THE BOARDS, WHETHER WE'RE ABLE TO FUND IT OR NOT, AS DR.

DAUGHERTY SAID, DEPENDS ON OTHER FACTORS.

I WILL COMMENT THAT AS WE LOOK AT THE FIVE YEAR PLAN, THAT ESCALATOR HAS BEEN INCORPORATED AS PART OF THAT ASPECT.

SO TO THE EXTENT THAT THE NEXT SUPERINTENDENT, THE NEXT CFO IS LOOKING AT THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PUT FORWARD, THEY SHOULD SEE THAT AS A REFERENCE AND THE FUTURE BOARD SHOULD HAVE THAT. AND I THINK JUST TO TAKE FROM OUR WORK SESSION HERE THAT THESE ARE SOME THINGS TO LOOK AT AT LEAST HAVE IN EACH SUBSEQUENT BUDGET SEASON.

SO WE CAN LOOK TO SEE WHERE WHERE WE LAND WITH THAT.

BUT IT IS DEFINITELY FOR OUR BUDGET WORK SESSION CONVERSATIONS.

ABSOLUTELY. MS. BAILEY, I LOVE YOUR IDEA AND I'M WONDERING AND MAYBE SEAN HAS SOME THOUGHTS ON THIS IF THERE ISN'T.

SO I'M HEARING FROM DR.

DEE THAT, YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL AND THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME OF THAT.

SOMETIMES I GET CARRIED AWAY.

SO MAYBE IT'S NOT A FORMULA, BUT MAYBE IT'S POLICY LANGUAGE THAT SUGGESTS THAT WHEN LOOKING AT ALLOCATING FUNDING, A STAFF WILL USE A DIFFERENTIATED MODEL, MAYBE SOMETHING SIMPLE LIKE THAT.

THAT FUNDING WILL NOT BE THE SAME FOR EVERY SINGLE SCHOOL, THAT IT WILL BE DIFFERENTIATED AND LOOKING AT THE THE TIER ONE TO USE SOME KIND OF LANGUAGE.

SO IT'S NOT A FORMULA, BUT JUST IT'S A VALUE, RIGHT? OUR VALUE IS THAT WE LOOK AT THE NEEDS AND ALLOCATE BASED ON NEEDS AND FAIRNESS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YES. YES, SIR.

SORRY. KEEP HITTING THE WRONG BUTTONS HERE.

ON THAT POINT [INAUDIBLE] WHAT WE CAN DO IS WE HAVE DOCUMENTS ON PUTTING TOGETHER OUR BUDGET AND WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT THAT INFORMATION IS PLACED IN THE DOCUMENTS OF THE BUDGET.

SO WHOEVER THE BOARD IS OR SUPERINTENDENT, CFO, WHOEVER, THEY HAVE A DOCUMENT THAT CONTINUES TO SHOW THEM WHAT IS GOING ON.

WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT DOCUMENT, BUT REALLY WE NEVER HAD DIFFERENTIATED FUNDING UNTIL THREE YEARS AGO.

BUT WE CAN PLACE IT IN A DOCUMENT THAT SAYS, AS YOU PLACE YOUR BUDGET IN THE PLACE, HERE ARE THE THINGS THAT YOU WANT TO CONSIDER AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ADDRESS TO THE BOARD. THAT WAY WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

YOU HAVE BAILEY ISSUE MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT.

[01:00:05]

OH, THAT WORKS FOR ME. I HAD A QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT, MS. HEFFRON, I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE HAD ANOTHER STATEMENT.

THERE'S A THERE'S SEVERAL BARS ON THE GRAPH.

I'M JUST WONDERING WHAT THEY ALL CORRESPOND TO.

SO EACH OF THE BARS REPRESENT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SO IT'S THE NUMBER OF STAFF PER 100 AT EACH SCHOOL.

[INAUDIBLE] NO, THAT'S GOT IT ABBREVIATED.

UNFORTUNATELY, I DIDN'T CATCH THE ABBREVIATION TO FIT ON THE SLIDE.

BOB. THANK YOU.

GOOD. NOW I'M WALKING AWAY SLOWLY.

OKAY. GOOD. THANK YOU ALL.

THANK YOU, BOB, FOR GOING FIRST.

MADAM CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS, I HAVE THREE SLIDES TO WALK YOU THROUGH.

THE FIRST ONE IS OBJECTIVE 2.6.

THE BY 2025, CCPS WILL INCREASE THE TOTAL VALUE OF EXTERNAL PARTNERSHIPS.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST WAYS THAT WE TRY TO DO THAT IS THROUGH OUR VOLUNTEERS.

WHAT WE'VE DONE IS WE'VE GONE BACK AND LOOKED AT THROUGH RAPTOR, OUR VOLUNTEER HOURS.

WE'VE TAKEN THAT AND MULTIPLY THAT BY A FEDERAL RATE OF ALMOST $30 PER HOUR, WHICH YOU SEE THERE IS ALMOST 32,000 HOURS LOGGED WITH AN INVESTMENT OF ALMOST ANY KIND OF CONTRIBUTION, REALLY ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS BY A VOLUNTEERS.

IT'S JUST ONE ONE PIECE THAT WE LOOK AT.

OBVIOUSLY, OUR PARTNERS DO MANY MORE THINGS IN OUR SCHOOLS, BUT FELT LIKE THAT WAS AN IMPORTANT METRIC TO LOOK AT.

THE SECOND PIECE DEALS WITH THE TOTAL ENGAGEMENT VIA PHONE CALL, SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER ELECTRONIC SOURCES.

AS YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A ROBUST SYSTEM WE USE CURRENTLY THROUGH SCHOOL MESSENGER, WHICH ALLOWS US TO COMMUNICATE VIA EMAIL, TEXT AND PHONE CALL TO OUR FAMILIES.

YOU'LL SEE THE METRICS OVER THE YEARS.

WE'RE CONTINUING TO LOOK AT OBVIOUSLY SOCIAL MEDIA.

WE CAN'T LOOK AT DIFFERENT METRICS, BUT CERTAINLY FACEBOOK CONTINUES TO BE A STAND WHOLE FOR OUR FAMILIES AND THAT'S INCREASE ALMOST 56,000 FOLLOWERS.

WE'RE ONE OF THE LARGEST FOLLOWINGS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

AND THE LAST METRIC DEALS WITH THE INCREASED COMMUNITY SATISFACTION THAT'S GEARED TOWARDS OVER THE YEARS TO A COUNTYWIDE SURVEY THAT IS DONE.

ESSENTIALLY, IT'S A MUCH LARGER SURVEY.

THERE'S ONLY A SEVERAL QUESTIONS THAT DEAL CLOSELY WITH EDUCATION.

IT'S MORE ABOUT COUNTY SERVICES AT LARGE.

BUT YOU'LL SEE THERE OBVIOUSLY FROM CONTINUITY FOR METRICS, WE'VE INCLUDED THAT HERE AS WELL.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

BOARD MEMBERS. ANY COMMENTS? QUESTIONS? MS. BAILEY. I THINK I'VE SAID IT BEFORE.

I LOVE FAITH. I'LL DO A GREAT JOB.

YOU REALLY DO. WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE.

THE TEAM, LED BY AMY BORTOLOTTI, DOES A GREAT JOB FOR YOUR WHOLE TEAM.

YOU DO A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU.

SO ON OBJECTIVE 2.6, CAN YOU GO INTO ANY SORT OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR INCREASING SATISFACTION, COMMUNITY SATISFACTION? HONESTLY, I THINK THE RECOMMENDATION PROBABLY WOULD BE SOMETHING MORE THAT'S GEARED TOWARDS JUST THE SCHOOL DIVISION PROPER.

I THINK THAT WHEN IT'S MELDED IN WITH A COUNTY SURVEY THAT HAS ALL COUNTY SERVICES, IT DOESN'T GIVE US A CHANCE TO LOOK CLOSELY.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT KIND OF JUST EVEN THESE TWO METRICS HERE, BASICALLY YOU'RE ASKING THE COMMUNITY A QUESTION ABOUT ARE PEOPLE PREPARED FOR SUCCESS BEYOND THE SCHOOL DIVISION AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF THEM RECOMMENDING OUR CHESTERFIELD TO THE COMMUNITY.

AND I THINK THAT WE WOULD ALL KIND OF ADMIT THAT THERE'S A MUCH LARGER CONVERSATION THAT TAKES PLACE.

SO I THINK PROBABLY THINKING AHEAD, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IS AS WE PUT IN PLACE A METRIC SYSTEM THROUGH SOME THINGS, WE'RE GOING THROUGH DR.

POPE'S TEAM, OUR ABILITY TO SURVEY STAFF MEMBERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS AS WELL.

WE MAY LOOK LONGER TERM TO ESTABLISH OUR OWN SURVEY, BUT THAT MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME JUST AS WE KIND OF GET THAT SYSTEM BUILT UP.

SO THIS SURVEY.

DO WE SO DO WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO DO THAT WITH WHAT WE HAVE? I MEAN, CAN WE SEND OUT OUR OWN SURVEYS AND BUNDLING IT UP WITH COUNTY SERVICES? AND WOULD IT ONLY BE TARGETED TOWARD CCPS CLIENTS, SO TO SPEAK? OUR CUSTOMERS RIGHT? OUR STAKEHOLDERS? SO I THINK WE'RE SAYING THE SAME THING.

WHAT WE IDEALLY WOULD LOVE TO DO IS TO DO SOMETHING JUST FOR THE COMMUNITY THAT'S JUST ABOUT CHESTERFIELD SCHOOLS.

[01:05:05]

WE'RE KIND OF TIPTOEING INTO THAT, QUITE FRANKLY, RIGHT NOW, THE ABILITY TO LOOK CLOSELY, TIPTOE IN THE SENSE OF JUST THE EXPERIENCE, CERTAINLY TO SURVEY OUR STAFF, SURVEY EMPLOYEES AS WELL.

AND THEN HOPEFULLY OVER TIME, I LIKE TO BUILD THAT UP TO THE COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MR. DAVIS IS UP NEXT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, DR. DAUGHERTY, PLEASED TO SPEND A FEW MINUTES TALKING ABOUT SOME STRATEGIC TOPICS WITHIN OUR OPERATIONS DEPARTMENTS.

WE'VE GOT SOME NEWS TO SHARE IN HERE AND SOME SLIGHTLY REVISED OBJECTIVES AND A NEW ONE.

BUT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT THAT WE'RE NOT COVERING THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF OUR OPERATIONS TODAY.

WE KNOW THAT OUR CONSTRUCTION TEAM HAS DONE SO WELL IN RECENT YEARS DELIVERING ALL OF OUR PROJECTS UNDER BUDGET AND ON TIME.

WE'RE HOPING THAT'S GOING TO CONTINUE.

WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THE REFERENDUM AND THE PROJECTS TO COME AND IN THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE BUILDING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.

ALSO MENTIONED, AS WE ALL KNOW, WE'VE MADE GREAT STRIDES IN MAJOR MAINTENANCE.

I DON'T HAVE ANY CHARTS ON THAT, DON'T HAVE ANYTHING EXPLICIT ABOUT HVAC, BUT MY GOODNESS, WE'VE MADE GREAT PROGRESS AND I THINK WE WOULD ALL AGREE STRATEGICALLY WHERE WE'RE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

BUT IT'S A HUGE INFRASTRUCTURE.

I WAS JUST OUT AT AM DAVIS THIS MORNING.

WE WERE TIDYING UP AN HVAC PROJECT SO THAT WE CAN OPEN SCHOOLS NEXT WEEK.

WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OLD BUILDINGS AND THINGS THAT CONTINUE TO BREAK.

WE'RE VERY FORTUNATE THAT WHAT BROKE OUT THERE BROKE IN JUNE AS OPPOSED TO SEPTEMBER.

SO WE ARE GRATEFUL OF THE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE GETTING IN, THE PROGRESS WE'RE MAKING IN THOSE CATEGORIES.

BUT LET ME MOVE ON TO TODAY'S SUBJECT MATTER.

CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR OUR DEPARTMENTS, IN OUR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR STUDENTS AND OUR STAFF AND FACILITIES IS CERTAINLY, AGAIN, 65 BUILDINGS, LOTS OF FOLKS THAT ARE KEEPING OUR BUILDINGS RUNNING.

AND THIS STRATEGIC PLAN SAYS THAT WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR ANNUAL CUSTOMER SERVICE RATINGS.

AND ONE OF THE MECHANISMS THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ARE THE QUARTERLY WALKTHROUGHS THAT ARE CONDUCTED BETWEEN PRINCIPALS AND THEIR FACILITY SERVICES SUPERVISORS, AND THAT'S GENERALLY IN CONCERT WITH OUR BUILDING OPERATIONS SUPERVISORS.

AND ONE OF THE NICE STEPS THAT THAT'S TAKING PLACE IS THAT WE ARE GETTING MORE OF A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FACILITIES AND OUR PRINCIPALS WITHIN DOING THESE WALKTHROUGHS TO ACTUALLY EVALUATE OUR BOS.

WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT FOLKS OUT THERE THAT ARE KEEPING OUR BUILDINGS TOGETHER, BUT WE ALSO HAVE FOLKS LIKE LIKE ALL OF US THAT ARE CONTINUING TO PROGRESS AND LEARN.

AND IT'S NOT THE PRINCIPAL DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE ALL THE TOOLS THAT THEY NEED TO HELP ASSESS THESE INDIVIDUALS.

SO THESE QUARTERLY WALKTHROUGHS AND THE DIALOG WITH [INAUDIBLE] AND HIS TEAM IS OF GREAT ASSISTANCE AS THEY ANALYZE WHAT'S BEEN TAKING PLACE AT DIFFERENT BUILDINGS.

AND I'M GOING TO MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE BECAUSE IT GIVES A BIT MORE DATA.

WITHIN OUR SCHOOL DUE TO AUTOMATION SYSTEM, WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY TO TRACK WORK ORDERS.

THOUSANDS OF WORK ORDERS GET DONE EVERY YEAR.

AND WHAT THIS CHART SHOWS IS FOR SIX DIFFERENT CATEGORIES OF WORK, WHAT OUR RESPONSE TIME HAS BEEN OVER THE LAST FOUR YEARS, AND THERE'S SOME COLORS THERE, A LOT OF THEM.

BUT GENERALLY THE SHORTER BARS ARE BETTER.

THAT MEANS THE AVERAGE RESPONSE TIME HAS DROPPED.

I WAS MENTIONING THE BOS.

LET'S LOOK AT THAT SECOND GROUPING DOWN AND SEE HOW FAR THE THOSE RESPONSE TIMES HAVE IMPROVED.

SO GOOD THINGS ARE HAPPENING OUT OF BUILDINGS.

THE BOS AGAINST THE FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.

I WAS JUST JUST OUT OF THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LAST WEEK AND CHATTING ABOUT A BOS THAT NEEDED A LITTLE MORE GROWTH.

BUT, YOU KNOW, HE'S RECORDING HIS WORK.

HE'S TRYING TO GET IT DONE. HE'S LEARNING.

AND BUT A SYSTEM WIDE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE BOS RESPONSE TIME IS CLEARLY IMPROVED.

AND AND I THINK THAT YOU SEE THAT IN MOST OF THESE CATEGORIES HVAC AT THE BOTTOM THOSE ARE USUALLY SOME TOUGH PROBLEMS. BUT AGAIN, WE'RE CONTINUING TO IMPROVE AND I DON'T SEE ANY OF THESE WHERE WE'RE HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION.

THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF BACK AND FORTH, ESPECIALLY DURING THE TWO PANDEMIC YEARS, BUT I THINK WE'RE WELL POISED TO CONTINUE TO IMPROVE, AND I'M GLAD THAT WE HAVE THIS FEATURE IN PLACE IN OUR AUTOMATED SYSTEM SO THAT WE CAN MEASURE.

BEFORE YOU JUMP OFF THAT SLIDE, CAN I ASK YOU, WHAT YEAR DID YOU START WITH THE COUNTY? THAT WAS IN FY 20.

[01:10:04]

I'M SURE A LOT OF THAT INFORMATION, A LOT OF THAT IMPROVEMENT IS A DIRECT RESULT OF YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND I JUST HAD TO SAY THAT BEFORE YOU WENT OFF THAT SLIDE.

WELL, THAT'S VERY KIND.

AND I'VE BEEN BLESSED WITH A STABLE LEADERSHIP TEAM.

I SEE SOME OF THE OTHER MAJOR DEPARTMENTS WHERE THERE'S LOTS OF TURNOVER AND WE HAVE IT IN THE WORKING RANKS.

BUT AT LEAST AT MY LEADERSHIP DIRECTOR, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, WE'VE GOT SOME OF THE SAME FINE FOLKS IN PLACE AND I HOPE THEY CONTINUE TO STAY WITH US.

SO WE WORK REALLY HARD TOGETHER.

[INAUDIBLE] WELL, THANK YOU, MA'AM.

ONE QUESTION BEFORE WE AUXILIARY SERVICES.

CAN CAN YOU EXPAND A LITTLE BIT WHAT MIGHT FALL UNDER EXHIBIT SERVICES? THAT'S A REALLY GOOD POINT, SIR, BECAUSE IT'S NOT OBVIOUS.

AUXILIARY SERVICES REFERS TO THE PORTION OF FACILITIES.

IT'S UNDER DURAND LINE, ONE OF THE TWO ASSISTANT DIRECTORS, AND HE HAS CUSTODIAL SERVICES AUXILIARY, CONSIST OF THE WAREHOUSE, THE MAILROOM, ALL THE MANAGING OF THE FURNITURE AND SO FORTH.

AGAIN, A VERY BUSY TEAM THAT HAS, YOU KNOW, HUNDREDS OF WORK ORDERS EVERY WEEK.

AND SO THEY [INAUDIBLE] ON THE STICK.

THANK YOU. LET'S CHAT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT TRANSPORTATION AND THIS OBJECTIVE.

AND THE OBJECTIVE IS STILL WRITTEN AS IT WAS IN THE PLAN SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

AND YOU'LL NOTE IN THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER THAT WE ARE PROPOSING A REVISION TO THE GOAL THAT'S IMAGINE TOMORROW.

AND YOU'LL BE LOOKING AT YOUR WORKBOOK HERE IN A LITTLE BIT.

I'VE GOT SEVERAL SLIDES WHERE WE GO DIRECTLY TO IT, BUT THE ORIGINAL METRIC WAS TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF BUSSES NOT DELIVERING STUDENTS ON TIME BY 50%.

I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHERE WE STARTED FROM IN REGARDS TO ANY CONSISTENT DATA.

AND IF YOU DIG BACK IN PREVIOUS YEAR SLIDES, THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DATA, BUT I'VE CHOSEN TO BASICALLY SAY THAT THAT THAT FIRST YEAR OF 19-20, WE DIDN'T HAVE GOOD DATA.

SO I'M CALLING IT UNKNOWN.

AND THEN WE HAD THE YEAR WHERE WE WERE TRYING TO REOPEN FROM THE PANDEMIC.

WE HAD SOME TREMENDOUS DIFFICULTIES WITH 24 STUDENTS AND FEWER ON A BUS AND JUST MANY, MANY RESTRICTIONS DUE TO COVID. SO AND WE WENT THROUGH SO MANY DIFFERENT SCHEDULES AS WE STARTED AND STOPPED AND STARTED AGAIN.

AND, YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, IN THAT SPRING OF THAT YEAR, WE BROUGHT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS BACK AND AND I THOUGHT WE DID REMARKABLY WELL.

BUT AGAIN, DATA THAT DOESN'T DESCRIBE IT IN THE LAST YEAR WE HAD WHAT I'LL CALL THIS THE CRISIS OF OUR MANPOWER AT THE START OF THE YEAR WHEN WE WERE DOWN SO MANY BUS DRIVERS AND THIS BOARD, ALONG WITH THE COUNTY, TOOK THE ACTION THAT WE NEEDED TO ENHANCE THE COMPENSATION OF THOSE FOLKS.

AND WE HIRED 240 NEW DRIVERS.

AND I DON'T THINK THAT'S HAPPENED IN ANY OF OUR LOCALITIES AROUND US.

AND I'VE CHATTED WITH SOME IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

WE'RE STILL DOWN 100 IN PRINCE WILLIAM OVER IN HENRICO, THEY ARE IN SIMILAR BOATS.

AND AND WE'VE HAD SOME CONTINUED TURNOVER.

BUT RIGHT NOW, THIS IS JUST TO ILLUSTRATE, IN SEPTEMBER, THIS WAS PROBABLY THE LAST WEEK OF SEPTEMBER, LESS THAN 80% OF OUR KIDS WERE GETTING TO SCHOOL ON TIME.

AND BUT BY MAY, 96%.

AND I THINK WE CAN DO A LITTLE BIT BETTER.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT GOAL AS WE GET TO THE FINAL SLIDE AND REFER TO YOUR WORKBOOK.

AND I'LL BE INTERESTED IN IN YOUR INPUT TO THAT SUBJECT.

AND WE WANT TO ADD ANOTHER OBJECTIVE, AND THIS ONE IS VERY MUCH BUDGET RELATED.

I CERTAINLY HEARD WHAT DR.

DAUGHERTY SAID EARLIER.

YOU KNOW, WE ARE SOMEWHAT AT THE MERCY OF OF WHAT WE ACTUALLY RECEIVE FROM THE STATE AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

BUT I THINK IT'S TIME TO SET A MARK ON THE WALL IN REGARDS TO OUR SCHOOL BUS REPLACEMENT AND MODERNIZATION.

I'VE LISTED QUITE A FEW REASONS HERE THAT ARE, I THINK, IMPORTANT.

THE OLDER BUSSES, THEY BREAK DOWN MORE OFTEN.

THEY HAVE EXCESSIVE MAINTENANCE COSTS, THEY SUCK DOWN FUEL, AND THEY IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES STILL HAVE DIRTY DIESEL ENGINES THAT DON'T MEET THE EMISSION REQUIREMENTS THAT WERE PLACED IN BY EPA JUST ABOUT 10, 12 YEARS AGO.

SO TO PHASE THOSE BUSSES OUT, I THINK IS A VERY IMPORTANT GOAL WE'RE GROWING.

JUST AS WE ADD TEACHERS AND BUILDINGS, WE NEED MORE BUSSES AND DRIVERS WHEN WHEN WE ADD 5,000 STUDENTS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL YEARS.

SO THAT WILL BE NEED TO BE A COMPONENT OF THE PLAN.

CLIMATE CONTROL, AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE CHESTERFIELD IS HEAD.

BUT WE STILL DO HAVE SOME BUSSES AND SOME STUDENTS THAT RIDE A WARM BUS IN AUGUST AND MAY.

AND THAT'S THAT'S A FEATURE THAT'S OF GREAT VALUE TO OUR STUDENTS AND TO OUR DRIVERS.

I MENTIONED THE OLDER DIESEL BUSSES THAT WE'D LIKE NEED TO PHASE OUT.

WE'VE WORKED WITH SOME ALTERNATIVE FUELS AND I BELIEVE A GOOD MIX OF THE CLEAN DIESEL.

[01:15:03]

AND THERE WILL BE ANOTHER SET OF STANDARDS IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS THAT THAT A DIESEL BUS WILL BE ABLE TO OPERATE SAFELY AND NOT LIKE THOSE BUSSES THAT ARE FROM PREVIOUS 2010 ERA.

SO THE PROPANE BUSSES THAT WE'VE ADDED HAVE HAD THEIR NICHE ALSO.

AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT THAT OPPORTUNITY.

AND OF COURSE, IT WAS EXCITING TO FIELD THE TWO NEW ELECTRIC BUSSES THIS PAST YEAR, AND WE'VE BEEN HOLDING OFF ON SOME NEWS BECAUSE THE STATE HAS ASKED TO US, BUT THERE'S PROBABLY GOING TO BE A COUPLE MORE ENTERING OUR FLEET.

I DON'T HAVE AN OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT QUITE YET, BUT I BELIEVE THAT'S COMING.

AND AS GRANTS BECOME AVAILABLE AND YOU'VE ALL RECEIVED SOME EMAILS RECENTLY ABOUT THE NEXT GRANT OPPORTUNITY, AND WE'VE STUDIED THAT QUITE CAREFULLY AND IT DOESN'T APPEAR THE TIME IS RIGHT FOR THAT PARTICULAR GRANT IN CHESTERFIELD SCHOOLS, BUT WE KNOW OTHERS WILL COME.

SAFETY AND SECURITY.

GOSH. OBJECTIVE 2.1 IS ALL ABOUT SAFETY, BUT YET WE DON'T HAVE AN EXPLICIT GOAL.

SO WE ARE GOING TO PROPOSE A GOAL TO MEASURE HOW WE'RE DOING THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN DOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS THAT WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO DO TO ENHANCE THE SAFETY OF OUR BUILDINGS.

CAMERA SYSTEMS. ACCESS CONTROL.

SCHOOL ENTRANCE RENOVATIONS.

AND HERE'S AN AREA WHERE I'VE GOT SOME MIXED NEWS FOR YOU.

WE USE THE TERM APPA ASSOCIATION OF PHYSICAL PLANT ADMINISTRATORS.

THEY HAVE A RATING FROM ONE WHICH IS BASICALLY AN IMMACULATE BUILDING WHERE YOU, LIKE, WANT YOUR HOSPITALS TO BE UP THROUGH FIVE, WHICH IS A PLACE THAT YOU WOULDN'T WANT ANY INDIVIDUAL TO NECESSARILY DO BUSINESS AND WORK IN.

BUT WE'RE AIMING FOR THE TWO.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, WE SAW SOME PRETTY GOOD PROGRESS IN THE FIRST THREE YEARS, EXCEPT THE DAY PORTERS HAVE KIND OF BEEN UP AND DOWN.

AND AND THEY WERE DOWN LAST YEAR.

AND WE TALKED QUITE A BIT WITH YOU ABOUT THE NEED FOR MORE DAY PORTERS.

THEY DID GET AN ENHANCEMENT OF THEIR PAY AND WE'RE HOPING FOR MORE AS THE SALARY STUDY CONTINUES.

AND ON THE CONTRACTOR SIDE, BY 2021, THEY HAD GOTTEN UP TO 99%.

LAST YEAR, THEY ALSO WENT DOWN AS THEY STRUGGLED WITH THEIR WITH THEIR MANPOWER AND THE EXPENSES OF HIRING FOLKS.

A COUPLE OF ANECDOTES HAVE BEEN OUT TO SOME SCHOOLS AND I'VE HEARD GREAT PRAISE FOR THE TEAM, SUCH AS ABM WAS OUT AT PROVIDENCE MIDDLE. THESE FIVE LADIES DID A FANTASTIC JOB.

JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS LEFT AND THE BUILDING LOOKED GREAT.

DR. DAUGHERTY HAS BEEN TO A FEW BUILDINGS.

WE'RE TIDYING UP A COUPLE OF THINGS, BUT DR.

DAUGHERTY WILL HAVE A LITTLE NEWS THIS EVENING AT THE BUSINESS MEETING IN REGARDS TO CLEANING OUR BUILDINGS.

BUT WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK FOR RIGHT NOW.

AND ONE OF THE OTHER PIECES OF GOOD NEWS, THANKS TO THE INCREASE IN PAY AND A LOT OF WORK BY DR.

HUFF AND HER TEAM, WE BELIEVE WE ARE STAFFED UP IN DAY PORTERS.

SO AND I WAS SPEAKING TO MR. LANE RECENTLY. HE'S DELIGHTED TO BE IN THAT POSITION AND SO THAT'S GOING TO REALLY HELP US GET OFF TO THE RIGHT TRACK AND AND WE WANT TO SEE THESE NUMBERS GO UP IN THE NEXT YEAR. SO I THINK WE'VE GOT TO REALLY KEEP OUR EYE ON THIS GOAL AND LOOK FOR SUCCESS.

SO I THINK THIS IS MY FINAL ONE AND THIS IS I REFER TO SOME REVISIONS.

AND IF YOU WERE TO LOOK IN YOUR WORKBOOK AT PAGE FOUR, I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ONE THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SCHOOL BUSSES. AND WHEN THEY ARRIVE AT SCHOOL IN THE MORNING AND WE BELIEVE THAT THE MEASURE IN THE MORNING IS EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MEASURE IN THE AFTERNOON, BECAUSE WE WANT TO GET STUDENTS TO SCHOOL READY TO LEARN ON TIME AND BEFORE THE TARDY BELL.

AND SO I'VE SUGGESTED, INSTEAD OF THAT, DO 50% BETTER.

LET'S HAVE A CONCRETE ATTAINABLE GOAL OF 97%.

AND MAYBE YOU'RE GOING TO URGE ME AND SAY, MR. DAVIS, LET'S SHOOT FOR 98.

I THINK 100% WOULD JUST NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T GET TO WORK ON TIME 100% OF THE TIME EITHER.

SO BUT BUT I KNOW WE'RE WE'RE STRIVING FOR THAT, BUT I JUST OFFER THAT GOAL TO YOU.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS FOR YOU TO DECIDE.

WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. AND I THINK THERE'LL BE A DECISION IN THE FUTURE.

AND THEN WE'VE ADDED NEW BULLETS ON WORKBOOKS, PAGES FIVE AND SIX, AND THAT'S IN REGARDS TO THE SCHOOL BUS MODERNIZATION PLAN AND FOR THE SAFETY AND SECURITY UPGRADES THAT WE'RE DOING TO OUR PHYSICAL FACILITIES.

SO I'LL PAUSE IF YOU FOLKS WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT AND HAVE ANY QUESTIONS TO WHAT YOU SEE IN THE WORKBOOK OR ANYTHING I PRESENTED.

I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS.

BOARD MEMBERS.

[01:20:02]

YES, THEY DO.

AND SOME OF THEM NEED CERTIFICATIONS TO ATTAIN THE POSITIONS THAT THEY'RE IN.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE WE'RE AGAIN, PLEASED THAT HR AND FINANCE IS ASSISTED US WITH AND EVEN TALKING TO THE COUNTY HAS TO DEVELOP SOME APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS FOR FOLKS THAT ARE ENTERING THE FIELD AT THE LOWER LEVEL AND GIVING THEM A CLEAR PATH TO LEARN NEW SKILLS TO THEN GET TO WHAT WE MIGHT CALL A JOURNEYMAN ROLE. BUT BUT IT'S A SUBJECT THAT YOU MENTIONED, I THINK THAT DOES NEED EVEN CONTINUED AND PERHAPS MORE ATTENTION.

YOU KNOW, WE DO FOCUS ON OUR INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF IN THE SCHOOL DIVISION, BUT THESE FOLKS ALSO DO NEED TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS TO TO MOVE FORWARD.

AND I ALSO THINK OF LEADERSHIP TRAINING BOTH WITHIN FACILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION AS FOLKS MOVE, YOU KNOW, FROM THE BUS TO THE MIDDLE RANGE GROUP AT THE OFFICE TO BECOMING A LEADER, YOU KNOW, HOW CAN WE TRAIN THEM AT THE LEADERSHIP LEVEL? AND THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS THAT ARE FOLKS HAVE BEEN ACTIVE WITH THAT OFFER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

AND I CONTINUE TO URGE AND SET THE EXAMPLE AND PARTICIPATE WITH BOTH JOHN THELMA'S TEAM, WITH THE VIRGINIA STATE PLANT MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION, WITH THE VIRGINIA ASSOCIATION FOR PEOPLE TRANSPORTATION.

THEY AGAIN OFFER PROGRAMS SOME THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, SOME OF THE CONFERENCE WHEN WE'RE HAVING OUR DOWNTIME, BUT CONTINUE TO ASK ABOUT THAT BECAUSE WE WANT TO KEEP OUR EYES ON THE PRIZE AND ENSURE THAT OUR FOLKS DEVELOP BECAUSE WE WANT THEM TO STAY AND TO THRIVE WITH THIS AND HAVE THE SKILLS THAT THEY NEED.

NO, I AGREE. I THINK THAT'S BEING ABLE TO GET THAT CERTIFICATION AND TO CONTINUE TO GROW NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN CCPS, NO MATTER WHERE WHAT LANE YOU'RE IN IS IS PART OF WHAT CAN BRING PEOPLE TO OUR DIVISION.

RIGHT. AND GROW HOMEGROWN LEADERS.

I LOVE THAT. AND THEN JUST SO THAT WE'RE ALL LEVEL SETTING, WHAT DOES TO SCHOOL ON TIME MEAN BEFORE THE. ARE WE ARE WE COMING IN HOT LIKE RIGHT BEFORE THE TARDY BELL AND WE'RE ON TIME? WELL, THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S YOU'VE GOT TO SET A MARK SOMEWHERE.

I JUST LIKE JUST SO THAT EVERYBODY, YOU KNOW, SO FOLKS DON'T THINK, LIKE, WELL, MY CHILD DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO EAT BREAKFAST OR MY, YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S WHAT WE PREFER BECAUSE WE'VE GOT THAT WINDOW WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN TO WHEN THE TARDY BELL RINGS AND AND ALL THE BUSSES DON'T ARRIVE IMMEDIATELY AND WE DON'T PLAN THEM TO BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BE OFFLOADED BY A SCHOOL.

BUT WE WANT THEM TO ARRIVE IN THAT WINDOW, HAVE TIME FOR THEIR BREAKFAST AND WHATEVER, AND TO BE IN CLASS BEFORE THE TARDY BELL.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING WE CONTINUE TO TO LOOK CLOSELY AT WITH OUR GPS DATA THAT ALLOWS US TO SEE WHEN THE WHEN WHEN THE BUS ARRIVES.

SO A MORNING ARRIVAL IS REALLY COMPLETE WHEN THE BUS IS DEPARTING, AS OPPOSED TO WHEN IT ENTERS WHAT WE CALL THE GO FENCE.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE AIM FOR THAT TARDY BELL.

BUT IF IT'S THE TARDY BELL, WHEN THEY'RE FIRST ENTERING THE LOT, THAT SHOULDN'T COUNT.

IT'S THE TARDY BELL IS THEY'RE EXITING.

SO. GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU, MANAGER. I JUST THINK THAT IT IS A GREAT IDEA TO FINALLY HAVE A METRIC FOR US TO LOOK AT OUR PHYSICAL SECURITY ENHANCEMENTS IN SCHOOLS, BECAUSE PHYSICAL SECURITY AT SCHOOLS AND THE NUMBER OF LAYERS THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE, ARE PROTECTED.

YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S SOMETIMES LOST.

WE HAVE SOMETHING HORRIBLE THAT WILL HAPPEN SOMEWHERE AND IT BECOMES FRONT AND CENTER FOR A FEW WEEKS, A FEW MONTHS, BUT THEN KIND OF FALLS OFF PEOPLE'S RADAR.

SO I'M JUST THANKFUL THAT WE DO HAVE SOMETHING NOW.

AND I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT ADDITION THAT WE CAN MONITOR AND REFER BACK TO THE PEOPLE OF WHERE WE CAME FROM AND THE ENHANCEMENTS THAT WE HAVE IN PLACE AT SCHOOLS AND WHERE WE PLAN TO GO. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, SIR.

WE'VE GOT SOME GOOD DATA THAT WE'LL BE SHARING WITH THE BOARD IN THE FUTURE.

AND DR.

DAUGHERTY WORKS VERY HARD ON THIS PROJECT.

WE ARE LOOKING AT THE VESTIBULES.

AND AGAIN, WE'VE GOT SOME FURTHER WORK TO DO.

AND WE KNOW THAT THE COUNTY WILL BE OUR PARTNER TO HELP FUND THOSE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE CONTINUE TO NEED.

AND WE WANT TO FINISH AHEAD OF 2025.

[01:25:01]

SO WE MENTIONED APPA IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN, RIGHT.

BECAUSE APPA IS KIND OF THE GOLD STANDARD FOR CLEAN BUILDINGS.

AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT'S PROBABLY I HAVEN'T DONE RESEARCH ON THIS, BUT I AM A PART OF A STATEWIDE SCHOOL BOARD GROUP THAT DOES KEEP OUR FEDERAL LEGISLATORS UP TO DATE WITH OUR SCHOOL NEEDS.

AND IT CERTAINLY SEEMS FROM THAT TASK FORCE THAT CHESTERFIELD REALLY HAS MOST LIKELY LED THE STATE AND UPDATING OUR HVAC UNITS.

SO HVAC SYSTEMS EXCUSE ME.

SO [INAUDIBLE] IS KIND OF THE GOLD STANDARD FOR AN ORGANIZATION LIKE APPA THAT MEASURES AND SETS GUIDANCE FOR HAVING HEALTHY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS IN BUILDINGS AND WHAT THAT CENTER LOOKS LIKE, I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE BECAUSE I'M NOT AN EXPERT. THAT'S SO I DEFER TO YOUR ADVICE.

AND AND JOSH, JUST REALLY APPRECIATE HOW INCREDIBLY RESPONSIBLE YOU HAVE BEEN, RESPONSIVE YOU HAVE BEEN.

I FEEL LIKE YOU PROBABLY LIKE HVAC AS MUCH AS I DO, SO PROBABLY MORE.

YOU LEARNED A LOT. AND JUST LIKE HEALTHY BUILDINGS, IT JUST WE SHOULD TAKE CREDIT FOR WHAT WE HAVE DONE.

AND AND I WANT SOMEONE TO DO BECAUSE I'M SURE WE LEAD THE STATE.

WHENEVER I KIND OF TALK ABOUT WHAT WE DO, EVERYONE'S LIKE, WOW.

SO I REMEMBER EARLY ON THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF PUSHBACK.

WELL, YOU KNOW, THIS IS JUST FOR COVID.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WOULD SAY YOU WOULD.

IT'S NOT NO, WE ARE FUTURE PROOFING OUR SCHOOLS.

AND I THINK NOW WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT COVID WASN'T GOING TO JUST GO AWAY.

AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS REALLY IS FOR FUTURE PROOFING AND HAVING HEALTHY SCHOOLS.

SO JUST KIND OF FROM TAKING A LOT OF EPA WEBINARS OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, MAYBE IT'S SO I KNOW [INAUDIBLE] IS THE GOLD STANDARD, BUT WE EVERY SYSTEM CAN'T BE AT [INAUDIBLE] BECAUSE OF THE SOME OF OUR OLDER SYSTEMS. AND SO WE MEET STANDARDS BY PROVIDING [INAUDIBLE], YOU KNOW, FREESTANDING [INAUDIBLE] UNITS AND IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS WHERE THAT IS NEEDED.

SO I'M WONDERING IF MAYBE A STANDARD IS LIKE THERE'S A PERIOD OF TRANSITION WHERE WE INCREASE OUR PERCENTAGE OF BUILDINGS THAT ARE ABLE TO HAVE SUPPORT.

[INAUDIBLE] FILTERS AND OR U.V.

LIGHTING DISINFECTION BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'VE LIGHTING DYSFUNCTION DISINFECTION IS KIND OF AN EQUAL STANDARD WITH [INAUDIBLE].

SO SOME KIND OF BY X YEAR WE WILL HAVE MORE BUILDINGS THAT USE [INAUDIBLE] SLASH UV LIGHT DISINFECTION AND WE WILL RELY LESS BY WHATEVER WILL RELY LESS ON THE KIND OF PORTABLE FREESTANDING [INAUDIBLE] UNITS WHICH ARE AMAZING BUT PROBABLY A LESS SUSTAINABLE AND REQUIRE MORE WORK BECAUSE ALL THESE LITTLE INDIVIDUAL UNITS YOU'RE REGULARLY BUYING AND CHANGING YOUR FILTER.

SO LET'S JUST KIND OF THROWING THAT OUT.

MEMBERS, ANY THOUGHTS? JOSH, DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS, I GUESS REGARDING A MEASUREMENT ON HVAC, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT IS PLAUSIBLE? HOW WOULD WE? MISS HAINES CERTAINLY DESCRIBES SOME OF THE POSSIBLE THINGS THAT WE CAN MEASURE.

AND YOU SEE THAT IN YOUR WEEKLY REPORTS IN REGARDS TO THE MERV 13.

WE ACCOMPLISHED THAT QUITE A WHILE AGO AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO SHOW IT.

THERE'S ALSO A GREEN AMBER OR RED CHART THAT GOES SCHOOL BY SCHOOL IN REGARDS TO WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE THE HEALTH OF THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS.

AND YOU KNOW HER POINT ABOUT IT'S KIND OF AN END OR THERE'S GIVEN TO AGE OR OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES.

THERE'S BEEN A NEED FOR SUPPLEMENTING THOSE SYSTEMS THAT WE'VE HAD IN PLACE.

AND WE DO WONDER ABOUT THE LONG TERM VIABILITY OF CONTINUING THOSE INDIVIDUAL UNITS, GIVEN THE EXPENSE OF THE FILTER.

SO I WILL SHARE WITH THE BOARD THAT WE'VE VD8 JUST PROVIDED A GRANT AND WE LOOK TO BE POISED TO HAVE TWO YEARS OF FILTERS IN OUR HANDS THANKS TO A GRANT.

BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I'M NOT.

IT'D BE DIFFICULT TO LEAVE INTO THE BUDGET EVERY YEAR WE TALK ABOUT THE UV PROJECT AND THAT IS COMING AND I KNOW IT'S BEEN A WHILE THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT IT, BUT THAT'S GOING TO BE PART OF THE THIS YEAR'S MAJOR MAINTENANCE PLAN.

I'M NOT SURE THAT WE COULD AFFORD TO DO THAT AT 65 SCHOOLS.

[01:30:01]

SO IT MIGHT BE SOME TYPE OF END OR SCALE WITH THE ASH RAY STANDARDS IN MIND AND PERHAPS SOME TYPE OF ANNUAL TESTING OR EVALUATION.

YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HAVE THE GREEN, YELLOW, RED, THAT'S KIND OF HOW THE FACILITIES GUYS FEEL ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.

AND THEY'RE BEING TRANSPARENT.

IF YOU WERE TO DIG INTO THE NOTES THERE'S PLACES THEY'RE WORRIED THAT CERTAIN BUILDINGS AND THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT CONTINUE TO NEED OUR ATTENTION.

SO I'M SURE WE COULD COME UP WITH A SYSTEM OF MEASURES IF IT WOULD BE THE BOARD'S WILL TO REPORT ON IT WITHIN THE STRATEGIC PLAN.

THANK YOU. I DID HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.

JUST IT'S KIND OF A CLARIFICATION AND READING IN THE WORKBOOK FOR, I GUESS, OBJECTIVE 2.1, WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION IN ARRIVING TO SCHOOLS ON TIME.

YOU SAY AND THE WHY THAT IT'S THE MORNING ARRIVAL AND I JUST DON'T KNOW IF IT'D BE BEST TO PUT THAT INTO THE REVISED MEASURE TO SAY THAT 97% OF CCPS TRANSPORTATION BUSSES WILL HAVE MORNING ARRIVAL ON TIME JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT.

BECAUSE I ASSUME THAT'S WHAT THESE PERCENTAGES ARE.

YES, MA'AM. I THINK THAT'S A FAIR SUGGESTION.

THAT WAY IT'S CLEAR GOING FORWARD AND YEARS TO COME AND WE WANT TO GET THEM HOME QUICKLY IN THE AFTERNOON TO.

OF COURSE.[LAUGHTER] YES, BUT YES, I LIKE GETTING THAT MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR.

WE'RE CLEAR. AND THAT'S IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE LATE THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS OF SCHOOL.

BUT HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING TO GET IN THE GREAT RHYTHM OF GETTING OUR KIDS HOME ONE TIME.

AND I'VE SAT AT THOSE TWO OR THREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AT THE START OF LAST YEAR WHERE WE'RE JUST WAITING FOR THE BUSSES TO GET THERE BECAUSE WE WANT THE KIDS HOME, WE WANT THE STAFF HOME. AND EVERYBODY HAS EVENING ACTIVITIES THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE IN.

BUT AGAIN, WE'LL CHANGE THAT MEASURE.

I THINK THAT'S A GREAT EDIT.

I DID WANT TO ALSO GIVE DR.

DAUGHERTY CREDIT FOR LEADING IN THE [INAUDIBLE], BECAUSE I KNOW HE IS YOUR BOSS AND YOU NEED THE SUPERINTENDENT ON BOARD FULLY TO MOVE AT THAT SPEED.

SO IT'S IMPORTANT TO PUT THAT UP.

WELL, THANK YOU FOR THE BOARD SUPPORT IN REGARDS TO EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE FROM PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND THE JUST WE COULD TALK ABOUT IT FOR A LONG TIME.

BUT MR. DAVIS, I JUST HAD ONE MORE QUESTION.

YES, MA'AM. KIND OF IN THE CONTEXT OF MS. COKER COMMENT, I WAS JUST LOOKING OVER THIS, AND SO MAYBE I'M READING THE WRONG NUMBERS.

IT MAY 20, 22, 96% OF THE BUSSES WERE DELIVERING STUDENTS ON TIME.

IF THE OBJECTIVE IS TO REDUCE THAT BY 50%, WOULDN'T THAT PUT US AT 98%? WE WANT TO TAKE AWAY THE 50% AND JUST SET A CONCRETE.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU ALL WANT 98, LET'S SET IT AT 98.

I SUGGESTED 97, BUT I WANT IT TO BE TOUGH BUT ATTAINABLE AND IT SOUNDS GOOD.

I JUST WANTED.

THANK YOU. AND I THINK WHAT I HEARD IS YALL ARE GOING TO VOTE OR TAKE SOME TYPE OF ACTION IN THE FUTURE TO REESTABLISH.

SO 97 IS AN A, SO I THINK WE CAN GO WITH THAT.

WELL, LET'S JUST GO.

IT'S A GOOD A IT'S A GOOD SOLID A, WE'RE GOOD.

WHAT WE HOPE FOR IS IF A BUS IS LATE ONE DAY, THAT IT'S NOT THE NEXT DAY OR FOLLOWING, WE DON'T WANT THE CHRONIC SAME GROUP TO BE UNDER STRESS.

ONE THING, AS A MATTER OF FACT, NOW THAT WE'RE KIND OF ON THAT SUBJECT, I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT.

I DID ACTUALLY SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS SOMETIMES CONCERNING.

I KNOW THAT IT'S OUT OF OUR HANDS WITH THE GROWTH THAT WE HAVE IN THIS COUNTY.

BUT SOMETIMES WE HAVE SOME STUDENTS ON BUSSES FOR EXTREMELY LONG TIMES, ESPECIALLY AFTER ATTENDING SPECIALTY CENTERS OR THINGS OF THAT NATURE, WHERE THEY HAVE A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT HUBS WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET A TRANSITION ON ONTO A BUS FOR A PARTICULAR ROUTE OR NOT.

AND IF WE'RE EVER ABLE TO MAKE HEAD ROOM IN THAT AS WELL.

ANY WAYS THAT WE CAN HELP STREAMLINE SOME OF THAT EFFECTIVENESS, I KNOW THAT AT ONE TIME WE HAD TALKED ABOUT LOOKING AT POSSIBLY REALIGNMENT SOME THINGS, BUT I KNOW THAT THAT'S JUST ANOTHER CONCERN THAT I DO HEAR SOMETIMES IS TRANSITION FROM ONE BUS TO ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO A SPECIALTY CENTER, WHICH THEY CHOOSE TO GO TO A SPECIALTY CENTER.

BUT SOME OF THE BUS RIDES I THINK PARENTS SHARED WITH ME WAS IT WAS PRETTY LONG.

SO OBVIOUSLY, LIKE I SAID, I KNOW THAT'S JUST THE NATURE OF THE BEAST, THE SIZE OF THE COUNTY AND THE COURSES THAT WE OFFER PLACES.

BUT THAT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE ANOTHER PLACE TO LOOK AT, TOO.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

[01:35:10]

THE FIRST ONE HAS TO DO WITH OUR CANDIDATES FOR EMPLOYMENT AND WE CERTAINLY HAD A LOT OF POSITIONS THIS YEAR.

SO THIS HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT PROCESS FOR US.

THE GOAL WAS THAT THEY WOULD PASS A REVISED RIGOROUS SCREENING.

AND WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF WORK WITH OUR APPLICANT TRACKING SYSTEM, REVISING THAT SOFTWARE, AND WE'VE DONE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR HIRING MANAGERS.

WE BEGAN THAT IN JUNE OF 2020 WITH THE PRINCIPALS, CONTINUED IT THE NEXT YEAR AT THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY AND 2021.

AND NOW THAT IS PART OF ALL OF THEIR TOOLBOXES TO BE ABLE TO REFERENCE.

AND WE'RE ALSO WORKING WITH NEW HIRING MANAGERS AS THEY BEGIN IN HIRING ROLES AND OUR HIRING PROCESS INCLUDES REVIEWING A CANDIDATE'S PRIOR WORK RECORD, IF ANY, INCLUDING IF THEY HAVE A CCPS WORK RECORD REVIEW OF ANY DISCLOSURES REGARDING ANY TYPE OF TERMINATIONS OR CONVICTIONS THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO THE PARTICULAR POSITION THAT THEY'RE APPLYING FOR AND THEN CONDUCTING A REFERENCE CHECK OR EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION IF APPLICABLE.

OF COURSE, SOME OF OUR ROLES ARE FIRST TIME ROLES, FOLKS WHO ARE ACCEPTING EMPLOYMENT WITH US AND WE'RE THEIR FIRST EMPLOYER, BUT MANY OF THEM ARE NOT.

SO THAT'S A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

OUR PRINCIPAL SCREENING ALSO INCLUDES A WRITTEN PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT, AND TWO TEACHERS ARE ON THE INITIAL INTERVIEW PANEL FOR EACH PRINCIPAL SELECTION.

AND THEN THE ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL PROCESS NOW ALSO IS PARALLEL TO THAT AND INCLUDES A WRITTEN PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT.

AND PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS ARE ALSO BEING CONDUCTED FOR SELECTED POSITIONS.

I KNOW IN MY OWN DEPARTMENT WE'VE DEVELOPED ONE FOR EVERY EXEMPT LEVEL POSITION.

SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO APPLY FOR AN ANALYST POSITION AND THAT POSITION REQUIRES YOU TO INTERPRET DATA OR USE EXCEL OR WRITE RESPONSES TO STAKEHOLDERS, THEN THERE ARE PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS RELATED TO THAT AS PART OF THE INTERVIEW PROCESS.

OUR NEXT OBJECTIVE HAS TO DO WITH THE EVALUATION SYSTEM, THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN A NUMBER OF CHANGES TO THE SYSTEM.

OF COURSE, IT'S A STATE SYSTEM.

THE CODE REFERS US TO THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION ADOPTED EVALUATION SYSTEM, AND THEY HAVE MADE SOME CHANGES OVER THE YEARS WHEN THIS OBJECTIVE WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN SHOWING TRAINING GROWTH WOULD REFER TO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF A TEACHER WERE IN THEIR THIRD YEAR AND THEN THEY WERE THEY HAD A SUMMATIVE PERFORMANCE EVALUATION AND THEN THEY HAD ONE AGAIN IN THEIR SIXTH YEAR.

THAT SIX YEAR EVALUATION WILL BE HIGHER THAN THE THIRD YEAR.

THE REALITY IS THAT THE STATE SYSTEM REALLY FOCUSES THE ATTENTION ON THE TEACHERS IN THEIR FIRST THREE YEARS PRIOR TO OBTAINING TENURE.

AND THAT MAKES SENSE.

AND STRUCTURALLY, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN YOU'RE REALLY LEARNING HOW TO ASSESS, HOW TO DELIVER INSTRUCTION, HOW TO WRITE GOOD LESSON PLANS.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT TEACHERS ARE OBSERVED AND GIVEN FEEDBACK IN THOSE SORT OF FORMATIVE YEARS OF THE PROFESSION.

AND THAT'S THE WAY THE STATE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED AS WELL.

WE ALSO HAVE A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE EARLY CAREER, AS DO MOST SCHOOL DIVISIONS AT THIS TIME IN OUR HISTORY. SO THE FOCUS IS REALLY THERE ON SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK FOR EARLY CAREER TEACHERS.

AND WE ALSO HAVE A GROWING SCHOOL DIVISION.

WE'VE JUST OPENED A NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL THIS YEAR, OPENED SEQUEL LAST YEAR, A LOT OF OTHER BUILDING PROJECTS IN THE WORK.

SO PEOPLE ARE SOMETIMES MOVING AROUND, WORKING WITH DIFFERENT ADMINISTRATORS AND EVALUATORS, WHICH CAN BE POSITIVE BECAUSE YOU GET DIFFERENT FEEDBACK, DIFFERENT AREAS OF EXPERTISE FROM EACH PERSON.

BUT THE FOCUS IS REALLY ON COMPLETING THOSE GOALS AND OBSERVATIONS AND SUMMATIVE EVALUATIONS ACCORDING TO STATE GUIDELINES. WE'VE ALSO INCREASED THE COMMUNICATION REGARDING THE EVALUATION PROCESS.

WE NOW HAVE HANDBOOKS THAT ARE ELECTRONIC FOR TEACHERS.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE FOR PRINCIPALS, ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS, ASSOCIATE PRINCIPALS.

WE HAVE ANOTHER ONE FOR OTHER EXEMPT ROLES AND ONE FOR CLASSIFIED ROLES.

[01:40:05]

AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH OUR COMMUNICATIONS TEAM TO MAKE SURE THOSE ARE HOUSED IN A PLACE THAT THEY'RE EASILY ACCESSIBLE FOR EVERYONE.

TEACHER EVALUATION HAS UNDERGONE A LOT OF CHANGES.

VDOE HAS OFFERED SOME WAIVERS THROUGH THE COURSE OF THE PANDEMIC.

ONE WAS OFFERED IN THE SPRING OF 2020 BECAUSE SCHOOLS CLOSED BEFORE MANY OF THE SUMMATIVE EVALUATIONS WERE DONE.

THERE WAS ALSO SOME FLEXIBILITY THE FOLLOWING YEAR, AND I THINK WE'RE BACK ON TRACK NOW TO DOING REGULAR EVALUATIONS.

AND THIS YEAR THERE WAS A CHANGE WHERE THERE'S AN EIGHT EVALUATION STANDARD FOR BOTH THE TEACHER AND THE PRINCIPAL EVALUATION FORMAT. SO SOME TRAINING IS AVAILABLE.

VDOE HAS OFFERED SOME MODULES ON THAT AND WE'VE ALSO WORKED WITH PRINCIPALS OVER THE SUMMER ON WHAT THAT WILL LOOK LIKE.

SO THE PROPOSED CHANGE WE'RE NOW ABLE TO DO A DASHBOARD THAT SHOWS THE DIFFERENT METRICS, THE EVALUATION.

SO IN THE FALL WE SET GOALS WITH EVERYONE AND THEN THERE ARE OBSERVATIONS.

AND THEN THE SPRING IS WHEN THE SUMMIT OF EVALUATION IS PERFORMED, ONCE DATA IS AVAILABLE.

SO WE'RE NOW ABLE TO PROVIDE SOME DASHBOARD METRICS.

SO IF I'M A PRINCIPAL THIS YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME, I'M GOING TO HAVE BE ABLE TO HAVE A DASHBOARD METRIC WHERE I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE IT'S THE END OF OCTOBER.

I SHOULD HAVE TO BE ON TRACK TO COMPLETE ALL THESE ELEMENTS.

I SHOULD HAVE COMPLETED MY GOAL SETTING WITH MOST OF MY STAFF.

SO IF I CAN SEE, OKAY, 96% OF THE GOAL SETTING IS DONE, THAT'S WITHIN RANGE.

SOMEONE IS ALWAYS GOING TO BE OUT ON LEAVE OR A LATE HIRE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

SO THERE ARE SCHOOLS ARE LARGE ENOUGH THAT'S UNLIKELY TO BE 100, BUT I CAN TELL THAT'S ON TRACK.

AND THEN HOW MANY OF MY FIRST OBSERVATIONS HAVE I DONE? HOW MANY OF MY SECOND OBSERVATIONS HAVE I DONE? AND THEN IN THE SPRING, I'M GOING TO BE ABLE TO TELL HOW MANY OF MY SUMMATIVE EVALUATIONS I'VE COMPLETED.

AND SO THE REVISION IS SUGGESTED TO ALIGN WITH THAT STATE PLAN AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE STAYING ON TARGET, PARTICULARLY WITH THE LARGE NUMBER OF NEW STAFF AND LARGE NUMBER OF CAREER SWITCHERS THAT WE'RE WORKING WITH.

THE NEXT OBJECTIVE IS ABOUT WORKERS COMPENSATION AND ON THE JOB ACCIDENT.

THIS WAS ALSO IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC.

YOU CAN SEE THOSE CELLS THAT ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN YELLOW.

WE HAD SOME YEARS WHERE THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS WERE DOWN, BUT ALSO WE DIDN'T HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF STUDENTS IN SCHOOL FOR THE SAME NUMBER OF WEEKS. SO WHEN WE COMPARE FY 19, THE 18-19 SCHOOL YEAR WITH LAST YEAR THE 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR, WE DID SEE A 21% REDUCTION.

SO WE THOUGHT THAT WAS GOOD PROGRESS TOWARDS OUR GOAL OF REDUCING THE WORKERS COMP CLAIMS BY 50%.

BUT WE'VE REALLY ONLY BEEN ABLE TO SEE A COUPLE OF YEARS OF FULL WEEKS AND FULL POPULATIONS IN SCHOOLS.

SO THAT'S AN ONGOING METRIC THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO PURSUE.

AND DR.

GREGORY, OUR DIRECTOR AND BENEFITS, SHE IS WORKING WITH OUR RISK MANAGEMENT COUNTERPARTS IN THE COUNTY TO LOOK AT WHAT TYPES OF ADDITIONAL TRAINING WE CAN OFFER BECAUSE WE'RE GOING IN A GOOD DIRECTION WITH THE 21% REDUCTION.

BUT WE DO HAVE A LOT OF NEW STAFF AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE OFFERING ANY TYPE OF TRAINING THAT WE CAN ACCESS FOR THOSE PARTICULAR NEEDS.

AND THEN WE HAD AN OBJECTIVE RELATED TO SICK HOURS AND WHO COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED WHAT WE WOULD HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PAST FEW YEARS. SO YOU CAN SEE THE NUMBER OF SICK HOURS THAT WERE USED IN THE 18-19 SCHOOL YEAR, AND OF COURSE, THAT WAS IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC EACH OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS.

AND SO IF YOU IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, QUARANTINE IMPACTS SICK HOURS AND, YOU KNOW, COVID DIAGNOSIS AND ISOLATION IMPACTS SICK HOURS. IF YOUR CHILD IS QUARANTINED, THAT CAN IMPACT YOUR SICK HOURS.

IF YOUR CHILD IS DIAGNOSED AND NEEDS TO ISOLATE, THAT CAN IMPACT YOUR SICK HOURS.

AND OF COURSE, THESE RULES AND RECOMMENDATIONS HAVE CHANGED A NUMBER OF TIMES, A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT AGENCIES.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE ONLY THING THAT'S REALLY CONSISTENT IS STAY HOME WHEN YOU'RE SICK.

SO WE'VE MADE A RECOMMENDATION TO MAKE A CHANGE TO THIS OBJECTIVE, SINCE THE ONLY CONSISTENT THING IS STAY HOME WHEN YOU'RE SICK.

IT'S KIND OF A MIXED MESSAGING TO THEN HAVE AN OBJECTIVE TO TELL EMPLOYEES USE LESS SICK HOURS.

[01:45:04]

AND SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO UTILIZE A SURVEY THAT MY COLLEAGUE DR.

HIGH WILL SHARE THAT IS BEING UTILIZED FOR SOME OTHER MEASURES INSTEAD OF MEASURING THE NUMBER OF OF SICK HOURS.

AND THEN OUR LAST OBJECTIVE HAS TO DO WITH OUR LICENSED EDUCATORS REFLECTING OUR STUDENT DEMOGRAPHIC POPULATION. AND THERE'S A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THE SLIDE.

THIS IS JUST THE SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2021 COUNT.

AND WE DO CAPTURE OUR EMPLOYEE DATA THE SAME OUR ANNUAL EMPLOYEE DATA WE CAPTURE AT THE SAME TIME AS OUR ANNUAL STUDENT DATA SO THAT WE CAN MAKE A COMPARISON THERE.

IT'S ALSO A TIME OF YEAR WHEN WE TYPICALLY ARE THE MOST FULL IN TERMS OF STUDENT POPULATION AND EMPLOYEE POPULATION.

SO IT'S A GOOD COMPARISON.

AND YOU CAN SEE WE KIND OF HAD A MIXED STORY THERE FOR THIS PAST YEAR.

SO WE HAD A STRONG INCREASE IN THE PERCENTAGE OF OUR NEW ADMINISTRATORS IDENTIFYING AS AFRICAN AMERICAN.

WE HAD A SMALL INCREASE IN OUR NEW TEACHERS AND NEW SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS IDENTIFYING AS HISPANIC, WHICH IS ONE OF THE RAPIDLY GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

WE HAD SMALL CHANGES IN THE ALL TEACHERS GROUP AND WHEN WE KIND OF DUG INTO THAT DATA AND WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT? WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT OUR NEW TEACHER DATA, IT'S OUR AMOUNT OF ATTRITION REALLY DIFFERED FROM PREVIOUS YEARS.

WE HAD SOME ESCALATED AMOUNTS OF ATTRITION.

AND SO WHO'S LEAVING AND WHO'S COMING KIND OF INFLUENCES THAT THAT ALL GROUP.

YOU CAN ALSO SEE THIS NEXT SLIDE SHOWS THE PREVIOUS YEAR SO THE SEPTEMBER 2020 YEAR AND YOU CAN SEE THAT YEAR WAS LOOKED A LITTLE DIFFERENT.

SO WE DON'T QUITE HAVE A TREND YET.

WE WERE UP THAT YEAR AS WELL AND HIRING.

YOU AFRICAN AMERICAN ADMINISTRATORS.

WE WERE UP THAT YEAR AND HIRING NEW AFRICAN-AMERICAN TEACHERS, VERY SIMILAR NUMBERS WITH OUR HISPANIC POPULATION.

BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE THERE'S NOT QUITE A TREND WITH THE ALL GROUPS, AND WE THINK THAT'S BECAUSE OF THE ATTRITION DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.

WE ARE WORKING WITH A NUMBER OF CAREER SWITCHERS THIS YEAR.

CAREER SWITCHERS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT TO OUR STRATEGY FOR HAVING A FULL STAFF.

AND WE DO KNOW THAT MINORITY EDUCATORS ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO ENTER THE FIELD THROUGH ALTERNATIVE PATHWAYS OR CAREER SWITCHING. SO THAT MAY ALSO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DIVERSIFY OUR STAFF.

AND THEN THIS LAST SLIDE IS JUST THE BASE POPULATION DATA FROM SEPTEMBER 2019.

SO YOU CAN SEE THAT IN ADDITION TO OUR TEACHER DATA CHANGING, OUR TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS ARE BECOMING MORE DIVERSE AS WELL AS OUR STUDENT POPULATION OVER THESE THREE YEARS IS ALSO BECOMING MORE DIVERSE.

AND JUST TO REFERENCE THE TWO CHANGES, ONE WAS TO ALIGN THE EVALUATION OBJECTIVE WITH THE NEW STATE REQUIREMENTS AND THE REQUIRED ELEMENTS.

AND THE SECOND ONE WAS IN LIEU OF THE SICK LEAVE HOURS TRACKING AS A MEASUREMENT TO USE UTILIZE THE SURVEY RELATED TO MORALE AND ENGAGEMENT.

LET'S PAUSE HERE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, DR.

HUFF. BOARD MEMBERS, ANY DISCUSSION, COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. AND AGAIN, PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M READING THIS WRONG.

SO THE REVISED MEASURE FOR OBJECTIVE 1.5 IS GOING TO BE MEASURING ON TIME COMPLETION OF THE EVALUATIONS AND NOT NECESSARILY THE CONTENT OF THE EVALUATIONS.

RIGHT. THE CONTENT CHANGES.

SO THE STATE HAS MADE SO MANY CHANGES THAT THE LIKELIHOOD WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE IT'S ONE OF THE METRICS THAT DR.

[01:50:01]

AND I DON'T KNOW IF MAYBE IT WAS WRITTEN AT A DIFFERENT TIME WHEN THERE WAS A DIFFERENT STRATEGY WITH THE STATE EVALUATION SYSTEM.

THE SYSTEM HAS CHANGED A COUPLE OF TIMES.

AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, YOU KNOW, THE FOCUS IS ON SUPPORTING THESE EARLY CAREER EDUCATORS.

SO IT'S MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS A SMART GOAL, MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE WHO IS IN THOSE FIRST THREE YEARS HAS BEEN OBSERVED AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR, AND THEN MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE HAS A COMPLETED SUMMATIVE EVALUATION WITH FEEDBACK GIVEN TO THEM BEFORE THEY LEAVE FOR THE YEAR BASED ON THEIR SMART GOALS, THEIR DATA, ANYTHING THAT THEY'VE SUBMITTED, AND THEIR TWO OBSERVATIONS, BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF INSTANCES WHERE WE'VE HAD AN EMPLOYEE WHO'S HAD THE SAME STATE EVALUATION AND THE STATE HASN'T MADE CHANGES IN THAT THREE YEAR INTERIM, AND THEY'VE HAD THE SAME EVALUATOR AND THEY'RE IN THE SAME SETTING.

AND THEN WE CAN MEASURE WHETHER THEIR RATINGS ARE HIGHER THREE YEARS LATER OR NOT.

WE'RE FINDING THAT SCENARIO IS NOT OCCURRING.

AND THIS REALLY JUST IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THIS REALLY IS JUST PUTTING THIS BACK AT THE BUILDING LEVEL, RIGHT.

THAT WE'RE JUST AS FAR AS THE STRATEGIC PLAN IS CONCERNED, WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS, ARE YOU ARE YOU DOING THE EVALUATING RIGHT? ARE WE DOING RIGHT? ARE WE DOING SETTINGS? AND PREVIOUSLY WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRACK THAT.

AND SO WHAT'S NEW IS BEING ABLE TO HAVE THESE DASHBOARDS AND BE ABLE TO KIND OF TELL WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE NEED MORE ATTENTION.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. APPRECIATE THAT.

ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME? I THINK WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A FIVE MINUTE RECESS.

THAT'S OKAY WITH EVERYONE.

RESTROOM BREAK? YES, STRETCH.

RESTROOM BREAK. WE'LL BE BACK IN 5 MINUTES.

WE WILL NOW READY TO RECONVENE NEXT.

CHIEF THAT IS AVAILABLE.

DOCTOR. HIGH. ALL RIGHT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MS. COKER, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.

HOPE YOU TOOK A NICE BREAK AND ARE READY FOR THE LAST TWO CHIEFS TO COME BEFORE YOU.

AND SO WE'LL START TALKING ABOUT THE PROMOTION RATE.

SO CCPS CONTINUES TO HAVE HIGH RATES OF STUDENT SUCCESS, AS DEMONSTRATED BY OUR PROMOTION RATE OF 98.5%.

THIS RATE FOR 2021 HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT THE SUMMER COMPLETIONS.

THE RATE FOR THE 21-22 IS PRELIMINARY, BUT SHOWS CONTINUED SUCCESS.

AND PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU DO SEE A WHITE BOX AT THE TOP, WHICH MEANS WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT PROPOSED REVISIONS LATER IN THE PRESENTATION.

ALL RIGHT. THIS METRIC IS FOCUSED ON SENIORS AND CONSIDERS THE ENTIRETY OF THEIR ACADEMIC CAREER WHILE ENROLLED IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.

DATA FOR AP AND IB TEST IS NOT YET AVAILABLE WITHIN THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM SYNERGY.

HOWEVER, WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT, OF COURSE, TAKING PATTERNS DURING THE PANDEMIC REALLY CHANGED THINGS.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE EFFECTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE EVIDENT HERE.

WE'RE PROVIDING AN UPDATE FOR 2021, WHICH WAS UNAVAILABLE IN OUR AUGUST 21 PRESENTATION.

THIS DATA IS CONSISTENT WITH PANDEMIC INFLUENCES ON THIS INDICATOR.

LOOKING AT OBJECTIVE 1.4, 2.2 AND 2.3 DURING THE PANDEMIC CCPC HAS EXPANDED THE USE OF SPECIFIC ASSESSMENTS DESIGNED TO MONITOR AND SUPPORT STUDENT, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING.

ADDITIONALLY, IN 2021-22, CCPS ADMINISTERED THE BUILDING RANKS SCHOOL CULTURE SURVEY FOR THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

BECAUSE OF THIS, THE OMNIBUS SURVEY, WHICH DUPLICATED THOSE EFFORTS, WAS NOT ADMINISTERED TO STUDENTS.

WE WILL DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL OF THE BUILDING RANK SURVEY TO FULFILL THE REQUIREMENT MOVING FORWARD IN OUR NEXT PORTION.

OBJECTIVE 1.4 THIS FOCUSES ON STUDENT ENGAGEMENT AND PERSONAL GROWTH.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND ABSENTEEISM ARE ONE MEASURE OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT.

ADDITIONALLY, CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM IS A FOCUS ON THE STANDARDS OF ACCREDITATION.

THE OVERALL ESTIMATE FOR 2021-22 IS 21.3.

THIS RATE IS GREATLY IMPACTED BY COVID.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE VIDEO ACCREDITATION DATA WILL SHOW A LOWER PERCENT OF STUDENT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM.

HOWEVER, THE DATA IS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

WE'RE EXPECTING THAT SOMETIME IN THE SEPTEMBER OCTOBER.

IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM, THE INDICATOR, HAS BEEN WAIVED.

[01:55:02]

HIGH, BOARD. JUST REMEMBER THIS PAST YEAR WE WERE ACTUALLY HAVING TO TELL PARENTS, STUDENTS AND PARENTS TO STAY AT HOME FOR A LENGTH OF TIME DUE TO COVID REGULATIONS THIS YEAR.

THOSE REGULATIONS ARE NOT IN PLACE.

SO WHEN YOU THINK OF THIS NUMBER BEING HIGH, IT'S ACTUALLY WHEN YOU LOOK AROUND THE COUNTRY IS PRETTY RELEVANT TO WHAT WAS GOING ON LAST YEAR.

SO WHEN PEOPLE SEE THAT, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND BY THE GUIDELINES OF THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT, PEOPLE WERE HAVING TO STAY HOME.

YEAH, OF COURSE. I MEAN, PEOPLE WERE STAYING HOME LEFT AND RIGHT.

I JUST GOT TO CHIME IN WITH THAT, TOO, BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT STUDENTS STAYING HOME GOING FORWARD EVERY TIME THEY SNEEZE, BECAUSE NOW THEY'VE BEEN CONDITIONED.

IF YOU DON'T FEEL GREAT, YOU KNOW, YOU BETTER STAY HOME AND TAKE A COVID TEST.

AND SO I'M CONCERNED THAT THAT DATA POINT WILL STILL NOT BE WHERE WE REALLY WANT IT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN BASICALLY CONDITIONED TO STAY HOME AT A CONCERN WITH COVID AND TRANSMITTING IT WHERE, YOU KNOW, WHEN I WAS A CHILD, IT WAS YOU DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL IF YOU HAD A FEVER, BUT IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A FEVER OR YOU WEREN'T HAVING DRASTIC ILLNESS, YOU WENT TO SCHOOL AND EVEN WHEN YOU DIDN'T FEEL GREAT, MAYBE SO.

I'M WONDERING IF WE CAN WORK ON SOME MESSAGING ABOUT COME TO SCHOOL AND YOU KNOW, EVEN WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL GREAT, I DON'T WANT TO SAY COME TO SCHOOL SICK BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO COME TO SCHOOL IF YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY SICK AND GOING TO TRANSMIT SOMETHING.

BUT I'M AFRAID OUR ATTENDANCE DATA IS GOING TO TAKE SOME YEARS TO COME BACK TO WHERE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE WAY THEY'VE BEEN CONDITIONED WITH THE PANDEMIC.

DO YOU HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THAT? YEAH, I MEAN, JUST IN THAT VEIN, I WOULD SAY THAT MAYBE WE CAN LOOK TO OUR STUDENT HEALTH FOLKS TO GIVE US SOME GUIDELINES OR HOW CAN WE SAFELY.

LIKE YOU SAID, I MEAN, THERE WERE BACK IN THE DAY, YOU KNOW, IT WOULD BE A TYLENOL COLD AND YOU'D GO TO SCHOOL.

BUT MAYBE IS IF YOU'RE NOT FEELING WELL, WEAR A MASK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT OUR STUDENT HEALTH CAN GIVE US SOME HOW TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL SAFELY AND HOW TO GET TO SCHOOL.

SO WE'RE NOT MISSING LARGE CHUNKS OF TIME LIKE STUDENTS DID.

YEAH, WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH, OF COURSE, COMMUNICATIONS AND OUR STUDENT HEALTH DEPARTMENT, AS WELL AS WITH OUR SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THAT IF THEY SEE THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN STUDENTS WHO ARE TENDING TO STAY HOME, WE'LL BE FOLLOWING UP EITHER THROUGH COUNSELING OR THROUGH TEACHERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THAT CONVERSATION WITH FAMILIES, TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO COME TO SCHOOL WHENEVER THEY ARE ABLE TO.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM, THE INDICATOR, HAS BEEN WEIGHED FOR THE 2022-23 ACCREDITATION RATING DUE TO THE IMPACT OF COVID.

OF COURSE, AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE BELIEVE IT WILL BE ACCREDITATION STATUS WILL BE BACK IN EFFECT.

SO HERE, ANOTHER INDICATOR OF STUDENT ENGAGEMENT IS DISCIPLINE.

IN THIS CASE, WE'RE ALSO FOCUSING ON THE CORE VALUE OF EQUITY, AS THE METRIC EXAMINES DISPROPORTIONALITY OF STUDENTS WITH SUSPENSIONS.

THIS IS A COMPARISON OF TOTAL STUDENTS AS COMPARED TO A SPECIFIC POPULATION OF STUDENTS.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE WOULD COMPARE ALL NON WHITE STUDENTS TO WHITE STUDENTS TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS ANY DISPROPORTIONALITY.

DURING THIS MOST RECENT YEAR, OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS WERE MORE LIKELY TO BE SUSPENDED THAN THEIR PEERS, HENCE SHOWING DISPROPORTIONALITY.

THIS. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK AT DISCIPLINE REFERRALS.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE IS ALSO RELATED TO SAFETY AND THE OBJECTIVE OF IMPROVING STUDENT STAFF AND CAMPUS SAFETY.

IN THIS METRIC, WE ARE LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT BEHAVIORS RELATED TO SAFETY.

THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF REPORTED INCIDENTS DURING THE 21-22 SCHOOL YEAR CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO MULTIPLE FACTORS.

ONE IS THE PANDEMIC RELATED TO THE BEHAVIORS THAT WE ARE SEEING AS STUDENTS HAVE RETURNED.

ANOTHER IS THE NEW REPORTING SYSTEM, WHICH IS CALLED SBAR, LOOKING AT OFFICE REFERRALS.

UNDER THE PREVIOUS SYSTEMS, ONLY THOSE REFERRALS IN WHICH A STUDENT WAS REMOVED FROM THE CLASSROOM FOR MORE THAN ONE OR MORE DAYS WERE DOCUMENTED WITHIN THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM. THIS MEANS THAT PREVIOUSLY THE DETENTIONS OR OUT-OF-SCHOOL SUSPENSION WHAT WERE NOTED IN THE NEWS REPORTING SYSTEM.

IMPLEMENTED, IN 21-22.

FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT INTERVENTIONS, ACTIONS OTHER THAN REMOVING STUDENTS FROM THE CLASSROOM.

FOR THESE REASONS, THE 21-22 DATA SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THE BASELINE FOR THIS METRIC MOVING FORWARD.

WHEN YOU SEE THE 10,131 IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER OF REFERRALS, THESE NUMBERS DO NOT REPRESENT DISTINCT NUMBERS OF STUDENTS AS THERE SHOULD BE.

THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS WHO MAY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN MORE THAN ONE INCIDENT DURING THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.

[02:00:04]

IN THIS SLIDE, WE REPRESENT HOW TO READ THE DATA, PROVIDED THIS IS A YEAR BY YEAR COMPARISON OF OVERALL ENROLLMENT AS COMPARED TO ENROLLMENT IN ACADEMIC PROGRAMS. THERE THREE DATA POINTS FOR EACH ACADEMIC GROUP FOR EACH YEAR.

THESE ARE PERCENTAGE OF OVERALL STUDENT BODY USE AND FALL MEMBERSHIP.

THE PERCENTAGE IN ACADEMIC PROGRAMS BASED ON DATA FROM THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM AND THEN A COMPARISON OF THESE TWO PERCENTAGES.

SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE BLUE BOX FOR THE 2021 SCHOOL YEAR, BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS WERE UNDERREPRESENTED, SEEING A NEGATIVE NUMBER BY 10.9% IN AP CLASSES. THEY ARE 27% OF THE OVERALL ENROLLMENT, BUT ONLY 16% OF THE AP ENROLLMENTS.

SO AS I PROCEED THROUGH THESE SLIDES, I'LL GIVE YOU JUST A MOMENT TO LOOK AT THEM AND THEN WE'LL AT THE END WILL IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS, WE'LL MAYBE CALL UP PATTY TO GIVE YOU THE NITTY GRITTY. ALL RIGHT.

SO THE FIRST ONE WE'RE LOOKING AT IS AP.

AND THIS WE'RE LOOKING AT REMEMBER, WE'RE LOOKING AT A COMPARISON OF FEMALES, MALES, ASIANS, BLACKS, HISPANIC WHITES AND TWO RACES.

AND THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FROM THE PREVIOUS SLIDE.

THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'RE LOOKING AT IV PROGRAMS AND REMEMBER, A POSITIVE NUMBER REPRESENTS OVERREPRESENTATION AND A NEGATIVE NUMBER IS UNDERREPRESENTATION.

THIS ONE IS DUAL ENROLLMENT, AND OUR GOAL IS ALWAYS TO MIRROR THE DEMOGRAPHIC POPULATION.

SO PERCENT OF STUDENTS POPULATION EQUALING THE PERCENT OF STUDENTS THAT ARE ENROLLED IN THE PROGRAM.

OUR GOAL IS TO BE REALLY AT ZERO TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY MATCH.

AND OUR LAST ONE IS ON OUR CENTER BASED GIFTED PROGRAM, AND WE ARE PROPOSING A CHANGE TO THIS MEASURE IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES.

I'LL STOP THERE TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.

FOR OBJECTIVE 2.4.

I DID WANT TO THANK YOU FOR BREAKING DOWN THE AP DUAL ENROLLMENT IB AND TPG DATA BECAUSE IT HELPS ME BETTER UNDERSTAND WHERE WE NEED A TARGETED SUPPORT.

WHEN I WAS ON, I GUESS I'M STILL ON THE METROPOLITAN EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH CONSORTIUM, SO I GET TO INTERACT WITH OTHER SCHOOLS AND THEY LEARN THAT.

GOOCHLAND, WHILE I KNOW IT'S A SMALLER DISTRICT, DID MANAGE TO ELIMINATE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IN BLACK AND WHITE STUDENTS, SO THEY HAD THE SAME THEY WERE AT ZERO FOR THE YEAR 2015, 2016.

THERE'S ACTUALLY A REPORT ON IT.

OPENING THE GATES TO AP EQUITY, A CASE STUDY OF A CENTRAL VIRGINIA HIGH SCHOOLS PRACTICES, POLICIES AND CHARACTERISTICS TOWARD PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION AND ADVANCED AP PLACEMENT ENROLLMENT BY ANDREW ARMSTRONG.

AND THE PAPER LOOKS AT HOW HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL PRACTICES AND POLICIES INFLUENCE EQUITY AND AP ENROLLMENT BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE STUDENTS.

I THINK THAT THE NEW ADMINISTRATION IS PUTTING A HEAVY FOCUS ON DISAGGREGATING DATA, AND I FULLY SUPPORT AND EMBRACE THAT BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S HOW WE ARE ABLE, AGAIN, TO PROVIDE THOSE TARGETED SUPPORTS AND TO DR.

DOUGHERTY'S REMINDER THAT WE DON'T FUND OURSELVES.

RIGHT. SO I THINK WHEN WE DISAGGREGATE THE DATA AND SHOW THIS IS THE INCREDIBLE GAP THAT WE HAVE, THEN WHEN WE'RE ASKING OUR COUNTY COUNTERPARTS FOR INCREASED FUNDING, I THINK IT HELPS EXPLAIN THE WHY.

AND AGAIN, WHEN WE BREAK IT DOWN BY THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS, THEN WE OK WE NEED TO WORK MORE WITH AP OR DE OR IB.

IT JUST IT HELPS US REALLY TARGET OUR FINANCIAL INVESTMENT, RIGHT? AND HELPS THE PUBLIC SEE WHAT WE'RE DOING WITH OUR MONEY.

AND I THINK ALSO MAKES A CASE.

SO I KNOW THAT THE DATA MIGHT BE AVAILABLE INTERNALLY AT ALL TIMES, BUT WHEN WE PRESENTED PUBLICLY, IT HELPS US POLITICALLY MAKE A STRONGER CASE FOR FUNDING

[02:05:08]

I WAS CURIOUS ONE WHY YOU THINK THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY DISPROPORTIONALITY IN DISCIPLINE IN 2021? BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THAT SLIDE SHOWED.

TWO. DO YOU THINK THAT WE'LL MAKE THE GOAL OF NO DISPROPORTIONALITY IN DISCIPLINE BY 2025? IF NOT, HOW SHOULD WE AMEND THAT? THEN? WHAT METRICS ARE WE TRACKING SO THAT WE CAN SEE PROGRESS ON THAT GOAL AND HOW IS OUR CURRENT PROGRESS? AND FINALLY, I SEE THE NOTE THAT 1.4 SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED AS ADDRESSING OBJECTIVES 2.2 AND 2.3.

BUT I'M WONDERING IF IT WOULD BE BETTER PLACED UNDER OBJECTIVE 2.4, WHICH IS PROMOTING DIVERSITY AND IMPROVING CREATING EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENTS. THAT WAS A LOT.

I'LL PAUSE IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THIS.

WE WILL BE MAKING A RECOMMENDATION FOR A TWEAK TO THIS PARTICULAR METRIC, SO WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT IN JUST A SECOND.

ONE OTHER THING THAT I DO WANT TO POINT OUT WITH THIS DISPROPORTIONALITY OR SHOWING THAT THE DEMOGRAPHICS DON'T MATCH AS IN PREVIOUS YEARS, OUR BEST METHOD OF TALKING IS TO TALK TO STUDENTS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO TAKE THE DIFFERENT CLASSES.

WITH THE PANDEMIC, THOSE STUDENTS MAY NOT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN THE CLASSROOM OR WITH THE COUNSELORS TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION.

AND THEN THE SECOND THING I WAS TALKING TO DR.

MERRIMAN DURING YOUR BREAK IS WE'RE FINDING THAT THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS WHO, ONCE THEY'VE COME BACK FOR THE PANDEMIC, WHEN THEY'RE IN THEIR SENIOR YEAR, THEY'RE NOT TAKING A FULL LOAD, WHICH MEANS THEY MAY NOT CHOOSE TO TAKE AN ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSE BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING TO WORK.

THEY STARTED DOING THAT WHEN THEY WERE IN THE PANDEMIC.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEIR FAMILY MAY NEED THEM TO CONTINUE TO DO AS WE MOVE OUT OF THE PANDEMIC.

SO THAT MAY ALSO BE A FACTOR THAT WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE KEEP IN MIND.

I HAVE ONE QUESTION.

THE CHANGES TO 2.4.

SORRY. SO THE REVISED MEASURE IS GOING TO PRESENT AP IB AND DUAL ENROLLMENT AS ONE DATA POINT INSTEAD OF THREE.

SO GREAT. I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THAT.

OKAY. GOOD. BECAUSE I WAS JUST LOOKING BACK AT 1.2.

WILL WE BE ADDING HONORS TO THAT? YES. FANTASTIC.

YES. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT.

SO LET'S JUST LET'S GO INTO THAT IF THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS AND THEN THERE MAY BE MORE AFTER THE PROPOSED METRICS.

YEAH. CAN I JUST MAKE ONE OBSERVATION REALLY QUICKLY AND IT'S A POSITIVE ONE THAT I KNOW THAT THE YEAR THAT I WAS ON THE [INAUDIBLE] WITH DR.

FULL THAT THEY WORKED TO CHANGE THE WAY IN WHICH THEY EVALUATED STUDENTS FOR MAGGIE WALKER AND MADE GREAT STRIDES IN IMPROVING THAT DISPROPORTIONALITY.

AND I THINK THAT THOSE TYPES OF MEASURES WERE NECESSARY.

AND IT WAS A REALLY NICE RESULTS AS A RESULT OF THE CHANGES THAT WERE MADE IN THE WAY THE STUDENTS WERE SELECTED FOR MAGGIE WALKER. AND IT'S JUST IT'S JUST A POSITIVE ALONG THESE LINES.

AND I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IN THAT ONE CATEGORY ON THE.

SO WE'RE DOING THAT WITH SPECIALTY CENTERS AS WELL.

YES. THANK YOU.

ACTUALLY, CAN I SEE SLIDE 45 AGAIN BEFORE WE MOVE ON? IS THAT POSSIBLE? OKAY.

45 OH, I DON'T SEE WHY SHE CAN'T GET.

SO YOU EXPLAIN.

IT'S BECAUSE OF REPORTING THAT THE INCREASE IS SO HUGE.

BUT I GUESS, AGAIN, I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT TO MEET THIS BY 2025, JUST WHAT ADDITIONAL RESOURCES WE MIGHT NEED.

AND MAYBE IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL FOR THE BOARD TO GET PROGRESS REPORTS SINCE THERE HAS BEEN SUCH AN INCREASE AGAIN SO WE CAN TIE IT AT ANY BUDGET NEEDS, LIKE MAKING IT VERY CLEAR THAT I THINK EVERYBODY PARENTS ARE ALL TALKING ABOUT IT.

RIGHT. THE ISOLATION DURING COVID, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY IS SURPRISED BY THIS.

I'M SURE.

SO THE REASON I THINK DR.

I MENTIONED THIS. THAT THIS IS A BASELINE FOR US NOW IS BECAUSE THE REPORTING HAS CHANGED.

SO WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT FROM 2018 19, THAT REPORT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

AND SO NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT APPLES AND ORANGES.

SO I THINK WHEN WE COME BACK, WE CAN GIVE REPORTS OUT.

BUT WHEN YOU SEE THE NEXT YEAR, WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

[02:10:02]

BUT AGAIN, REMEMBER, THIS IS OUR BASELINE NOW AND WE TAKE IT FROM HERE BECAUSE ANYTHING THE LAST TWO YEARS, FROM 819 TO 20-2021, IT'S ALL COVID. AND THIS IS STILL RELATED TO COVID ONE.

JUST THE ONE THING REALLY QUICK BEFORE WE MOVE ON, BECAUSE MY QUESTION WAS ON THIS SLIDE IS OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE GIVEN A LOT OF LEEWAY TO STUDENTS WITH WHAT WE CONSIDER AS FALLING INTO DISCIPLINARY.

BUT HEARING FROM A LOT OF TEACHERS AND BEING A FORMER TEACHER, I THINK SOMETIMES I'VE HEARD MORE, YOU KNOW, AND I GUESS IT'S TO BE EXPECTED COMING OUT OF COVID, GETTING KIDS ACCLIMATED AGAIN TO THE CLASSROOM WAS KIND OF DIFFICULT.

SO AS JUST THE BASELINE, I MEAN, I'M GUESSING THAT NEXT YEAR WE WOULD PROBABLY SEE A DECLINE IN REFERRALS, BUT OBVIOUSLY DON'T WANT TO TAKE AWAY THAT IF A STUDENT DOES NEED OBVIOUSLY TO BE.

HAVE SOME TYPE OF CONSEQUENCES THAT HE HASN'T DISRUPT THE REST OF THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, THAT WE'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REALLY UNDERMINE THAT BECAUSE OF A REFERRAL COUNT. AND WE ARE AS A TEAM, WE LOOK AT THE BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE DISCRETE INDIVIDUAL REPORTING.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT MORE WAYS THAT WE CAN DO PREVENTION.

AND SO WE'VE GOT SOME PROGRAMS IN PLACE THAT WE WORK WITH OUR OUR BEST AND OUR SEL TEAM TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE SUPPORTING SCHOOLS, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH PBIS, OUR RESTORATIVE PRACTICES, OUR PROMOTE RESPECT AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS THAT REALLY HELP ALONG WITH THE BULLYING AND SOME OF THOSE NOT QUITE MAJOR BUT STILL BEHAVIORS THAT WE DO NOT EXPECT TO SEE IN SCHOOLS.

CAN I JUST TAG ON TO THAT? I THINK WHAT REALLY THE GOAL IS BETTER BEHAVIOR, NOT LESS REFERRALS.

I MEAN, REFERRALS ARE NECESSARY WHEN STUDENTS HAVE BEHAVED POORLY.

THEIR GOAL IS TO HAVE STUDENTS THAT BEHAVE PROPERLY.

AND I THINK THE TEACHERS NEED TO HEAR WE'RE NOT TRYING TO SAY DECREASE REFERRALS AND DISREGARD POOR BEHAVIOR, BUT USING EVERYTHING THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED AS STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE STUDENT BEHAVIOR, THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE WILL EMPHASIZE AS WE ARE FOCUSING ON INSTRUCTION THIS YEAR.

AND TO FOCUS ON INSTRUCTION REQUIRES GOOD BEHAVIOR IN THE CLASSROOM.

AND SO EVERYTHING THAT YOU JUST MENTIONED FROM THE PBIS STRATEGIES AND THE ANTI-BULLYING STRATEGIES AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS WILL IMPLEMENT.

BUT THE GOAL REALLY ISN'T JUST WRITE LESS REFERRALS AND ACCEPT POOR BEHAVIOR.

I THINK WE JUST NEED TO BE CAREFUL THAT THE COMMUNITY, PARENTS, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ALL HEAR THAT MESSAGE.

[INAUDIBLE]. YOU CUED ME UP.

[LAUGHTER]. WITH HELP FROM SEAN'S TEAM COMMUNICATIONS.

WE'VE BEEN DOING MINUTES WITH MURPH, AND I HAD CHAD MACLEAN ON FOR ONE OF OUR PROGRAMS TO EXCUSE ME, CHAD KNOWLES ON THE PROGRAM TO DISCUSS WHAT THEY SHOULD NOT BRING INTO SCHOOL, HOW THEY SHOULD ACT APPROPRIATELY IN SCHOOL.

AND WE ALSO DID A VIDEO THAT WILL BE VIEWED BY ALL STUDENTS THE FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL FROM ME TO THE STUDENTS ON HIGH EXPECTATIONS THAT IF THEY ARE NOT THERE FOR THEIR LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, THAT IS THEY CAUSE PHYSICAL ISSUES IN THE BUILDING.

THE BEST EXAMPLE SOMETIMES THE STUDENTS WHO DON'T WANT TO GO TO CLASS, OUR JOB IS NOT TO BABYSIT STUDENTS.

OUR JOB IS TO EDUCATE.

AND IF STUDENTS THINK THEY'RE GOING TO WANT TO RUN OUR SCHOOLS AND NOT GO TO CLASS, THEY WILL HAVE ALTERNATIVE OPPORTUNITIES.

BUT OUR ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS NEED TO DO THEIR JOB.

PARENTS SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOLS FOR A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND ORDERLY ENVIRONMENT.

AND SO WHEN I PRESENT OF THE STUDENT BODY AND TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS WORK AT THE SAME VIDEO, AND WE WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT.

AND WE WANT OUR CHILDREN COME IN EVERY DAY, LEAVING THINKING THEY HAD A GREAT DAY, COMING BACK FOR ANOTHER GREAT DAY, LEARNING AND THOSE WHO WANT TO BE DISRUPTIVE TO THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WE WILL DEAL WITH APPROPRIATELY.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. AND ONE MORE THING BECAUSE.

YUP. YOUR COMMENT ABOUT BULLYING THING AND THEN PVI REMINDED ME FOR CONSIDERATION TO ADD ANOTHER METRIC IN THIS AREA, SOMETHING THAT REPRESENTS OUR COMMITMENT TO ADDRESSING BULLYING.

I THINK THE BOARD HAS GOTTEN A REPORT ON THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND SEEN REALLY THE GREAT WORK THAT WE'VE DONE IN THIS AREA.

AND SOME THOUGHTS I HAD MAYBE INCREASING THE NUMBER OF POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL AND INTERVENTION TRAININGS HELD AT SCHOOLS AND OR THE DISTRICT LEVEL.

[02:15:08]

JUST SOMETHING THAT KIND OF BECAUSE WE TALK ABOUT BULLYING A LOT AND GET REPORTS AND IT IS A CONCERN.

IT JUST THAT IT REFLECTS THAT.

WE'RE ALSO LOOKING AT THIS IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AND HAVE A METRIC AROUND IT.

IT'S JUST A THOUGHT.

SO I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE RECOMMENDED CHANGES AND ADDITIONS ON PAGES 11 THROUGH 16 IN YOUR WORKBOOK.

AND SO THE FIRST ONE, OBJECTIVE 1.2, THIS IS A REWORDING.

AND SO THE ORIGINAL OBJECTIVE IS MASTER CONTENT AND MAINTAIN HIGH LEVELS OF ACHIEVEMENT FOR ALL STUDENTS.

THE REVISED CHANGE WOULD BE THE MASTER CONTENT AND MAINTAIN HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS.

AND THIS IS JUST REWRITTEN.

THIS OBJECTIVE STILL CONVEYS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS BY ADDRESSING PROMOTION AND GRADUATION EXPECTATIONS.

THE MONITORED METRICS WILL CONTINUE TO BE ON TIME, PROMOTION AND THEN ADVANCED COURSEWORK.

ALL RIGHT. THE NEXT ONE YOU'LL FIND ON PAGE 12, 1.2, AND IT WAS THE FIRST BULLET.

THE CURRENT MEASURE IS BY 2025 CCPS WILL DECREASE THOSE NOT BEING PROMOTED ON TIME BY 10%.

THE PROPOSED REVISED MEASURE METRIC WOULD BE MEASURED BY 2025.

CCPS WILL MEET OR EXCEED 98% ONE TIME PROMOTION RATE FOR ALL STUDENTS.

AND WE'RE CURRENTLY AT 98.5.

WITH THIS EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCE IN THIS AREA BY ALL CCPS SCHOOLS, GROWTH IS CHALLENGING TO MEASURE GIVEN THAT THE 10% GROWTH IS NOT POSSIBLE.

THE PROPOSED CHANGE IS MORE APPROPRIATE REFLECTION OF THE WORK IN THIS AREA.

SO THERE WOULD BE NO CHANGE IN THE REPORTING, ONLY A CHANGE IN HOW THE METRIC IS DESCRIBED.

THE THIRD ONE 1.2.

IT WOULD BE A CHANGE FROM ABOUT 2025.

ALL GENERAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WILL ENROLL IN AT LEAST ONE AP, IB OR DUAL ENROLLMENT COURSE AND EARN A QUALIFYING SCORE.

THE REVISION IS TO ADD HONORS AS CREDIT BEARING COURSES IN ADDITION TO THE AP, IB AND E.

AND WE FEEL THAT THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE OF THE COMMITMENT TO VIRGINIA'S PLAN THAT'S BEEN CLEARLY OUTLINED IN OUR GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL THAT THERE SHOULD BE MULTIPLE PATHWAYS TO SECONDARY SUCCESS, AS WELL AS HAVING HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS.

EXPANDING THIS METRIC TO INCLUDE HONORS IN ADDITION TO THE TRADITIONAL COURSES IDENTIFIED AS COLLEGE READY, AP, IB AND DUAL ENROLLMENT, THIS SHOWS THE DIVISION'S BELIEF THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE INDIVIDUALS WITH POTENTIAL.

ADDITIONALLY, CHANGING THIS METRIC TO REFLECT ENROLLMENT IN AN ADVANCED COURSE SUCH AS HONORS CONVEYS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS, WHILE HONORING THAT THERE ARE MANY PATHWAYS TO SUCCESS.

AND THEN THE FIRST YEAR WOULD BE FOR THE 2022-23 THAT WE WOULD PROPOSE THIS.

ON PAGE 14 OF YOUR BOOK, WE WOULD BE HERE.

WE'RE GOING TO REMOVE OBJECTIVE 1.4 AND HAVE IT FALL IN WITH 2.2 AND 2.3.

WE WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THIS THROUGH STUDENT ATTENDANCE AND DISCIPLINE DATA AS CURRENTLY APPROVED.

IN ALIGNMENT WITH 1.4 TO 2.2 AND 2.3 BY 2025.

CCPS STUDENTS AND STAFF WILL EXCEED VODE SCHOOL CLIMATE SURVEY EXPECTATIONS FOR PERFORMANCE.

THE REVISED MEASURE WOULD BE BY 2025, ALL STUDENTS WILL ACHIEVE A RATING GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 3.0 FOR STUDENTS.

AND IN THE BUILDING RANK SURVEY, THERE ARE FOUR AREAS AN AVERAGE OR AGREE WOULD BE NUMBER THREE.

SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MAJORITY WOULD BE THREE OR ABOVE EITHER AGREE OR STRONGLY AGREE FOR AND THIS WOULD BE GIVEN TO STUDENTS, STAFF AND PARENTS ON THE BUILDING CULTURE DOMAIN FOR THE BUILDING RANKS CLIMATE SURVEY.

THIS WAS ADMINISTERED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN OUR 2122 SCHOOL YEAR.

THE BUILDING CULTURE DOMAIN INCLUDES COMMUNICATION, EQUITY, ETHICS, GLOBAL MINDEDNESS, RELATIONSHIPS, STUDENTS CENTEREDNESS AND WELLNESS.

USING THE BUILDING CULTURE DOMAIN MOVING FORWARD ENSURES CONSISTENCY OVER TIME WITHOUT ADMINISTERING ADDITIONAL SURVEYS TO STUDENTS, STAFF AND PARENTS.

AND AGAIN, THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE IMPLEMENTED THIS WAS 2021.

AND SO THE FIRST YEAR THAT WE WOULD REPORT THIS METRIC WOULD BE IN 22, 23, AND THEN THE LAST PROPOSED CHANGE, THE CURRENT MEASURE

[02:20:07]

WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR THERE TO BE ANY CHANGE IN THIS MEASURE PROPOSED THAT THE PARTICIPATION IN AP, IB AND DE COURSEWORK BE PRESENTED AS ONE DATA RATHER THAN AS THREE.

AND THE QUESTION THAT THIS WOULD ADDRESS IS WHETHER THERE IS DISPARITY IN STUDENTS CHOOSING TO TAKE ADVANCED COURSEWORK, NOT BY WHICH EVENTS COURSE THEY ARE CHOOSING.

THE PROPOSED REVISION ALIGNS WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT THERE SHOULD BE MULTIPLE PATHWAYS TO SECONDARY SUCCESS AS OUTLINED IN THE COMMITMENT TO VIRGINIA PLAN.

THE AGGREGATE DATA WOULD BE PRESENTED FOR HIGH SCHOOL ADVANCED COURSEWORK AND CBG ENROLLMENT, AND THAT'S THE LAST CHANGE THAT I HAD.

BOARD MEMBERS. ANY QUESTIONS? COMMENTS? I DID HAVE ONE.

IF I COULD START FIRST.

JUST IN OBJECTIVES.

JUST MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THE CHANGE IN OBJECTIVES.

2.2 AND 2.3.

REALLY? WE'RE SWITCHING THE SURVEY TOOL BEING USED.

YES, WE WOULD NO LONGER USE THE OMNIBUS SURVEY, BUT USE THE BUILDING RANK SURVEYS, WHICH LOOKS AT THE BUILDING CULTURE AND LEADING LEARNING ARE THE TWO MAJOR CATEGORIES.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

MY QUESTION GOES BACK TO, I GUESS, MY PREVIOUS QUESTION IN 2.4.

IT'S ONLY GOING TO WE'RE ONLY GOING TO MEASURE AP, IB AND DUAL ENROLLMENT AND NOT HONORS.

SO FOR THIS PARTICULAR ONE, WE WOULD GROUP ALL OF THE AP, IB AND DUAL ENROLLMENT TOGETHER AS ONE METRIC.

IT CAN BE A RECOMMENDATION THAT WE ALSO INCLUDE HONORS, BUT IT'S A LITTLE BIT HARDER BECAUSE IT'S NOT DISCRETE A LOT.

WE HAVE A LOT OF HONOR HONORS CLASSES WHERE WITH IB, AP AND DUAL ENROLLMENT IT'S MORE DISCRETE.

I GUESS I WAS TYING IT TO THE OBJECTIVE 1.2 WHERE HONORS WAS BEING ADDED IN AS A MEASURE.

FOR COLLEGE READINESS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE MEASURING.

I MEAN, ARE WE MEASURING AP, IB AND DUAL ENROLLMENT FOR COLLEGE READINESS IN 2.4 OR ARE WE MEASURING THAT TO.

[INAUDIBLE], [LAUGHTER].

OH, SHE COMING? BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MY TEAM IS IS WHAT DOES A LOT OF THIS MATH AND THE CALCULATIONS AND ONE OF THE THINGS LIKE WE WANTED TO HONOR THE CONCEPT THAT THE STATE REALLY RECOGNIZES THAT AP DUAL ENROLLMENT AND IB ARE QUALIFIERS FOR THAT COLLEGE, CIVIC AND CAREER READINESS INDICATOR, WHICH IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM ENCOURAGING A STUDENT WHO HAS MAYBE NEVER BELIEVED IN THEMSELVES TO TAKE AN HONORS COURSE AND STEP FORWARD.

AND SO WE REALLY MADE THEM DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE WANTED TO HONOR BOTH OF THOSE.

DOES THAT SPEAK TO YOUR QUESTION? SO WHEN IT SAYS 90%, THE WHEN IT SAYS 90% IS THE HONOR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT 90%, THEN IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO MEASURE THE AP DUAL ENROLLMENT AND IB.

AM I ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION THERE? RIGHT. IS IT TWO SEPARATE MEASUREMENTS.

YES, THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE MEASUREMENTS.

SO THE ONE WOULD FOCUS ON, HEY, WE WANT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS TO FEEL LIKE THEY BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN MAKE THIS STRETCH GOAL.

AND YET WE'RE ALSO GOING TO LIKE MAINTAIN THAT HIGH STANDARD OF THIS ACADEMIC LIKE COLLEGE READY COURSEWORK.

SO PRESENTING BOTH FIGURES JUST IN DIFFERENT PLACES AND THE ONE DOES INCLUDE HONORS.

YEAH, WE REALLY WANTED TO MAKE THAT CHANGE TO HONOR THAT FOR THE KIDS THAT WE'RE STRETCHING THAT WAY.

THAT'S IMPORTANT. YES.

THANK YOU. SO WHAT I'M HEARING THAT IT'S REALLY ABOUT A MEASUREMENT INTERNALLY.

STAFF WILL STILL BE LOOKING SEPARATED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY A STRATEGY TO INCREASE, AS MS. BAILEY MENTIONED, LIKE BEING IN GOVERNOR OR SCHOOL OR CBG IS DIFFERENT THAN, SAY, A STRATEGY TO INCREASE DUAL ENROLLMENT MEMBERSHIP.

YES. ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU, DOCTOR. HIGH THANK YOU.

SO NOW YOU ALL HIDE YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT.

I'M YOUR LAST CHIEF IN THIS PRESENTATION, SO I'LL TRY TO SEE YOU AT THE END.

SO THE DIVISION OF TEACHING AND LEARNING ACTUALLY ASSISTS AND TRACKING SIX MEASURES THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER NOW.

AND WHEN WE TALK THROUGH THE WORKBOOK, WE WILL BEGIN ON PAGE 18.

[02:25:04]

SO UNDER OBJECTIVE 1.1, THIS ITEM HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE THE FIRST YEAR OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION.

WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY USED THE PANEL'S ASSESSMENT AS OUR MEASURING TOOL.

WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY REPORTED GRADES ONE AND TWO, AND WE HAVE ALSO CONSISTENTLY REPORTED OUT SPRING RESULTS FOR ALL STUDENTS.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 19-20, WHEN, BECAUSE OF COVID, WE REPORTED FALL RESULTS.

THE PERCENTAGES THAT YOU ARE NOTING HERE IDENTIFY STUDENTS NOT NEEDING INTERVENTION USING THE POLL'S ASSESSMENT AS THIS PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS FELL AT OR ABOVE THE BENCHMARK EXTERNALLY SET BY THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA AND THE OFFICE.

ALSO UNDER OBJECTIVE 1.1.

THEY'RE ALSO REPORTED SINCE THE VERY FIRST YEAR OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTATION.

THIS NEXT MEASURE RECOGNIZES STUDENT GROWTH FROM FALL TO SPRING.

WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY USED THE NWA MAP ASSESSMENT AS OUR MEASURING TOOL IN GRADES THREE THROUGH EIGHT, MATH AND ENGLISH.

WE HAVE ALSO CONSISTENTLY REPORTED OUT THIS MEASURE USING SPRING RESULTS AGAIN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 19-20, BECAUSE OF COVID, WE REPORTED WINTER RESULTS.

THE PERCENTAGES NOTED HERE REPRESENT THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE MET OR EXCEEDED EXPECTED GROWTH AS DETERMINED EXTERNALLY BY NWEA. AND I KNOW YOU REMEMBER YELLOW IS WHERE WE BELIEVE COVID HAS INFLUENCED OUR RESULTS ON THE NEXT OBJECTIVE UNDER 1.1.

AGAIN, THIS ITEM WAS NOT ORIGINALLY APPROVED IN THE STRATEGIC PLAN, BUT WE DID BEGIN UPON REQUEST REPORTING OUT IN 2019 ON THIS ITEM. SINCE THEN, WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY REPORTED THE EXTERNAL DATA PROVIDED TO US BY COLLEGE BOARD ON THE PSAT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE 2020-21, WHEN DUE TO COVID, THIS ASSESSMENT WAS NOT ADMINISTERED IN GRADES EIGHT THROUGH TEN.

TOTAL TEST TAKERS ARE NOTED HERE IN PARENTHESES.

THE MEAN OVERALL SCORE BEFORE THE PARENTHESES SHOWS THE GRADE LEVEL COHORT AVERAGE SCORE COMPARED TO THE SAME NATIONALLY.

AS REPORTED HERE, WE WOULD EXPECT OUR DIVISION PERFORMANCE TO FALL BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE, AS MANY DISTRICTS ALLOW STUDENTS TO OPT IN TO PSAT, WHICH INFLATES THEIR AVERAGE SCORE.

CCPS IS UNIQUE IN ITS APPROACH TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PSAT.

WE BEGIN IN THE EIGHTH GRADE.

WE ASSESS DURING THE SCHEDULED SCHOOL DAY, WHICH MEANS TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED, AND WE ASSESS ALL STUDENTS ON THE STANDARD AND ADVANCED DIPLOMA BOUND TRACKS.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN POINTING OUT.

BUT YOU'RE SEASONED VETERANS AT THIS NOW.

YOU KNOW, THERE WERE WHITE BOXES UP IN THE CORNER OF SOME OF THOSE SLIDES, WHICH MEANS WE WILL BE REVIEWING SOME POTENTIAL CHANGES UNDER OBJECTIVE 1.3. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN REPORTED SINCE THE FIRST YEAR OF OUR STRATEGIC PLANS IMPLEMENTATION, BUT REPORTING WAS INTERRUPTED DUE TO COVID FOR 1920 AND 2021. THIS ITEM REPORTS THE STUDENT PERFORMANCE ON THE VDOE, EA COLLEGE CAREER AND CIVIC READINESS INDEX FOR THE COMPONENTS LISTED HERE.

THE PERCENTAGES NOTED HERE ARE FOR THE GRADUATING COHORT BUT REFLECTIVE OF THEIR PERFORMANCE SPANNING ACROSS THEIR FOUR YEARS.

NINTH THROUGH 12TH GRADE VDOE VALIDATED DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THIS MEASURE UNTIL MID OR LATE SEPTEMBER, SO AT THAT TIME WE WILL BE ABLE TO SHARE OUR 21-22 RESULTS WITH YOU AS VIDEO DETERMINED IN JULY OF 21 TO INCLUDE THIS METRIC IN THE ACCREDITATION FORMULA FOR HIGH SCHOOLS, BEGINNING WITH THE 23-24 ACCREDITATION RATINGS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO REPORT ON THIS METRIC.

WHILE THE FIVE C'S WERE ORIGINALLY APPROVED.

UNDER OUR INITIAL STRATEGIC PLAN UNDER OBJECTIVE 1.3, CCP HAS ESTABLISHED SIX SEAS AND HAVE BEEN REPORTING ON THE SIX C'S SINCE 2020-21, WHEN CSPS ADDED THE SIX REPORTING CATEGORIES ON THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL REPORT CARDS ALONG WITH DIVISION WIDE RUBRICS TO GUIDE TEACHERS EVALUATION.

PERCENTAGES SHOWN HERE ARE FOR KINDERGARTEN THROUGH FIFTH GRADE.

PERCENTAGES REFLECT PROFICIENCY IN QUARTER FOUR AS DEFINED BY A TEACHER RECORDING A THREE OR FOUR ON THE STUDENT REPORT CARD.

WHILE CCPS HAS NOT ESTABLISHED FORMAL PERFORMANCE REPORTING FOR THE SIX SEAS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL, WE ARE STAYING TUNED INTO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE

[02:30:03]

AND THEN FINALLY, UNDER OBJECTIVE 2.2, WE HAVE A FOCUS ON STUDENT HEALTH, SOCIAL READINESS AND WELL-BEING AND CITIZENSHIP.

THIS ITEM HAS BEEN INCLUDED SINCE THE FIRST YEAR OF OUR STRATEGIC PLAN AS A STUDENT HEALTH INDICATOR.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL YOUTH FITNESS AWARD METRIC WAS APPROVED IN 2018 IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN.

BUT THE FITNESS WORLD HAS UNDERGONE SIGNIFICANT SHIFTS IN HOW STUDENT HEALTH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED.

THE FITNESS MEASUREMENT TOOL USED EACH YEAR IN THE REPORTING OF THIS TO THE BOARD IS ACTUALLY NOTED IN THE TABLE, AND IT'S A TOOL THAT WE CALL WELLNESS.

WE'VE BEEN USING IT FOR 15 YEARS.

PERCENTAGES REFLECT THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS WHO MET A FOUR OR FIVE OUT OF FIVE ACROSS FIVE FITNESS ZONES ON THE WELLNESS ASSESSMENT. SO THE CHANGE WE'RE GOING TO PROPOSE HERE IS OBVIOUSLY TO CORRECT THE OBJECTIVE TO NAME THE TOOL THAT WE USE CORRECTLY.

SO TO THE WORKBOOK BEGINNING ON PAGE 18, I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE NOTED IN THE WORKBOOK, ANYTIME SOMETHING IS SHADED IN BLUE, THAT IS WHERE WE'RE PROPOSING A CHANGE.

WE ALSO HAVE INCLUDED LANGUAGE IN THE WORKBOOK TO SHOW THAT WE ARE VERY ALIGNED WITH THE GOVERNOR'S COMMITMENT TO VIRGINIA DOCUMENT AS WELL AS STATE VDOE REQUIREMENTS. THE OTHER THING THAT I'LL POINT OUT ON THE SLIDES THAT YOU NOTICE HERE IN THE PEACH COLOR, AT THE END OF EACH CHIEF'S PRESENTATION, WHEN WE REFERENCE THE CURRENT PLAN, WE OFTEN SAY SOMETHING LIKE THE FIRST BULLET, THE SECOND BULLET FOR EVERYBODY'S EASE.

MOVING FORWARD, WHEN WE REVISE THE PLAN, WE'RE ACTUALLY JUST GOING TO NUMBER THOSE SO WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP GOING.

FIRST BULLET, SECOND BULLET, THIRD BULLET GETS A LITTLE CONFUSING.

SO JUST WANTED TO MAKE A NOTE THAT WE WOULD RECOMMEND THAT JUST FOR EASE OF EVERYBODY'S UNDERSTANDING.

YOU WILL SEE HERE THAT WE ARE PROPOSING AN OBJECTIVE REWORDING FOR 1.1 INSTEAD OF READING ACHIEVE ANNUAL GROWTH EQUIVALENT TO ONE OR MORE YEARS FOR ALL STUDENTS. WE WOULD LIKE IT TO READ, MEET OR EXCEED PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS ON STATE ASSESSMENTS FOR ALL STUDENTS.

SO WE REALLY WANT TO ROOT THIS MEASURE IN PALS, WHICH IS A VDOE SANCTIONED MEASUREMENT, THE THREE COURSE OR GROWTH TEST THAT IS NOW A NEW STATE REQUIREMENT AND TO INCLUDE BETA TESTING AS WELL.

OOPS. DIDN'T MEAN TO CHANGE MY SLIDE.

I'M DONE WITH THAT. I'LL PUT THE CLICKER DOWN ON THE NEXT PAGE.

IN THE WORKBOOK, PAGE 19 CORRELATES TO SLIDE 54 IN YOUR DECK AGAIN, ITEMS IN BLUE.

WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING HERE IS THAT BY 2025, 90% OF STUDENTS WILL PASS OR SHOW GROWTH ON SOCIAL ASSESSMENTS IN MATH AND ENGLISH. THIS WILL BE OUR FINAL REPORT TO YOU ON THE NWEA MAP ASSESSMENT ON THOSE GRADE LEVELS.

BECAUSE AS I MENTIONED THE VDOE NOW HAS A THREE COURSE OR GROWTH ASSESSMENT AND TO CONTINUE MAP TESTING AND ADD THIS NEW STATE REQUIRED TEST WOULD DOUBLE TEST OUR STUDENTS. WE DON'T WANT TO DO THAT.

SO WE WILL HAVE A NEW BENCHMARKING REPORT FOR YOU NEXT YEAR UNDER THIS OBJECTIVE ON PAGE 20 IN YOUR WORKBOOK ALIGNING TO SLIDE 55, THIS IS AN ADDED MEASURE AND I THINK DR.

HIGH LAST MENTIONED TO YOU ON PAGE 11 THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO ADJUST THE OBJECTIVE WORDING FOR 1.2, WHEREAS SHE MENTIONED BEFORE THIS MEASURE, PSAT ACTUALLY WAS REPORTED OUT UNDER 1.1.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO KEEP THIS MEASURE, WE KIND OF LIKE TO CODIFY THAT IN ANY ACTION YOU TAKE TO UPDATE THE PLAN.

AND WE DO BELIEVE IT FITS BETTER UNDER 1.2, WHICH WOULD READ MASTER CONTENT AND MAINTAIN HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ALL STUDENTS.

AND ANOTHER SHIFT HERE THAT WE'D LIKE TO CONSIDER, BECAUSE AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THAT COMPARISON TO NATIONAL SCORES SEEMS LIKE AN APPLES TO ORANGES TYPE OF COMPARISON BECAUSE OF HOW WE SELECT OUR STUDENTS DIFFERENTLY THAN MANY OPT IN DISTRICTS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE FEEL WOULD BE TRULY A BENEFICIAL FOCUS OF OUR EFFORTS IS NOT ONLY DO OUR STUDENTS IN EIGHTH THROUGH 11TH GRADE TAKE THE PSAT, BUT THEN HOW DO WE GET THEM ENGAGED INTO LOOKING AT THEIR RESULTS AND ACTUALLY UTILIZING THE RESOURCES THAT COME WITH THE PSAT, FOR EXAMPLE, KHAN ACADEMY.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE WE THINK THE BANG FOR THE BUCK IS, BECAUSE ACTUALLY HAVING THAT ENGAGEMENT CAN TRULY IMPROVE THEIR LEARNING AND THOSE RESOURCES ARE FREE TO THEM FOR A LIFETIME. AND WE JUST SEE A LOW LEVEL OF ENGAGEMENT IN THAT RIGHT NOW AND WE KNOW WE COULD DO BETTER.

[02:35:04]

ON PAGE 21 IN YOUR WORKBOOK, CORRELATING TO SLIDE 57 UNDER 1.3, THIS IS JUST THAT CLERICAL CORRECTION THAT WE WOULD LIKE IT TO READ SIX C'S INSTEAD OF FIVE C'S.

SO WE HAVE THE FIVE C'S FROM THE VIDEO.

AND THEN WE ALSO ADDED CONNECTIONS HERE IN CHESTERFIELD ON PAGE 22 IN THE WORKBOOK, THERE IS NO SLIDE CORRELATION BECAUSE THIS IS AN ADDITIONAL MEASURE THAT WE'RE SUGGESTING UNDER OBJECTIVE 1.3, WE HAVE THE WORDING GRADUATE STUDENTS WHO ARE COLLEGE AND CAREER READY TO ENGAGE AS PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS. NO CHANGE IN THE WORDING, BUT WE REALLY DO FEEL THAT BECAUSE OF THAT COLLEGE AND CAREER READY PORTION OF THE LANGUAGE THAT WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TRACK, THAT OUR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS DO MEET THE LEGISLATIVE REQUIREMENT TO COMPLETE THEIR ACADEMIC CAREER PLANS.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.

YOU INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT AND YOU MEASURE WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

SO THAT IS IMPORTANT TO US.

AND THEN FINALLY, ON PAGE 23, WE HAVE AGAIN UNDER 1.3 GRADUATE STUDENTS.

HEY, THE FIRST WORD THERE IS GRADUATE.

SO WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO INCLUDE IN OUR STRATEGIC PLAN SOMETHING THAT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ALL OF US, WHICH IS GRADUATION RATES? SO THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT THIS PAGE IS ABOUT.

LET'S INCLUDE THAT INFORMATION.

WE'RE PROUD OF IT AND WE'RE ALWAYS STRIVING TO EVEN DO BETTER IN THAT AREA.

AND THEN ON PAGE 24, LAST PAGE OF YOUR WORKBOOK.

YEAH, SLIDE 58 IS YOUR CORRELATING SLIDE.

THIS IS UNDER OBJECTIVE 2.2.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST THAT CORRECTION TO PROPERLY NAME THE TOOL RATHER THAN THE PRESIDENTIAL YOUTH FITNESS AWARD.

WE WANT TO SHIFT THAT TO THE FITNESS GRAM, QUESTIONS ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE WORKBOOK OR ON THE SLIDES REPORTING OUT ON OUR CURRENT MEASURES AS THEY'RE APPROVED. THANK YOU, DR.

POPE. BOARD MEMBERS, ANY COMMENTS, DISCUSSIONS ON THIS LAST PIECE? MS. BAILEY. I ASSUME FOR PAT DISEASE THAT THE DATA IS AVAILABLE ON HOW MANY TIMES THE STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GO INTO THE PSAT RESOURCES? BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO MEASURE THAT UNLESS THERE'S SOME WAY YOU CAN ACCESS THAT DATA.

SO WE HAVE A GREAT PARTNER AT COLLEGE BOARD, VALERIE KEATING, WHO WORKS WITH US.

AND WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE, SHE SAID SHE CAN PULL A REPORT THAT INDICATES WHICH STUDENTS HAVE CONNECTED THEIR ACCOUNT.

SO THIS WOULD TAKE STUDENT ACTION.

IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE GO IN AND DO.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN ENCOURAGE.

LIKE THROUGH AUDRA LANCASTER, BOYS ARE COUNSELING THAT, HEY, THIS IS IT'S ABOUT TAKING THE ASSESSMENT AND THEN USING IT, BUT IT WOULD REQUIRE STUDENT ACTION.

AND THEN WE WOULD HAVE A BETTER INDICATOR THAT, HEY, WE'RE GETTING VALUE OUT OF THIS ASSESSMENT BECAUSE OUR KIDS ARE INTERACTING.

SO YOU CAN'T LITERALLY TRACK HOW MANY RESOURCES THEY ACCESSED OR HOW LONG THEY STAYED ON THE COMPUTER, JUST WHETHER THEY CREATED AN ACCOUNT, WHETHER THEY HAVE A LINK THERE TO ACCOUNTS.

GOT IT. YES.

BUT I WOULD IT'S A STEP BEYOND HAVING THE ACCOUNT, LIKE LIKE.

OH, SURE. LIKE A STEP BEYOND GETTING THEIR DATA TO.

ACTUALLY, I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW YOU WERE GOING TO GET THAT INFORMATION, BUT AT LEAST.

BOARD, THE COLLEGE BOARD WOULD SEND THAT TO US BECAUSE THAT WASN'T GOING TO BE EASILY OBTAINED.

I'M ASSUMING THAT THERE'S THE ABILITY TO CONNECT THAT DATA BETWEEN STUDENTS WHO HAVE TAKEN THAT EXTRA CONNECTION STEP AND WHO HAVE REGISTERED WITH KHAN ACADEMY AND SUBSEQUENT GRADES ON OR SCORES ON THEIR PSATS.

POTENTIALLY I WOULD NEED TO LIKE I WOULD NEED TO GO BACK AND WORK WITH VALERIE.

SHE DEFINITELY I THINK AT THE COLLEGE BOARD LEVEL.

YEAH, THEY WOULD BE.

I THINK SHE COULD. YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE POSSIBLE.

WE MAKE THE ASSUMPTION THAT THERE'D BE A CORRELATION AND AN UPTICK, BUT MAYBE NOT.

YEAH. YEAH, EXACTLY.

WELL AND THEY ARE THEY ARE VERY DIFFERENT ASSESSMENTS, YOU KNOW, LIKE THERE'S AN A DIFFERENT EXPECTED SCORE IN EIGHTH GRADE AND NINTH GRADE IN 10TH GRADE AND 11TH GRADE.

SO IT BECOMES IN MEASUREMENT, YOU KNOW, BECOMES WHEN YOU'RE MEASURING CHANGE, IT'S A LITTLE NOISIER THAN JUST ACHIEVER.

EXACTLY. BUT WE CAN DEFINITELY EXPLORE THAT WITH.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

AND ONE THING I'D LIKE TO SAY IS THAT, DR.

POPE, THIS MATERIAL IS PHENOMENAL.

AND I THINK YOU'VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB PUTTING IT TOGETHER FOR US TODAY.

I FEEL IT'S A LOT MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN WE'VE HAD IN THE PAST.

AND BECAUSE I FELT I LIKE PAPER AND I LIKE BEING ABLE TO, YOU KNOW, TOUCH AND SEE.

AND I LOVE HAVING THIS STRATEGIC PLAN RIGHT HERE AND YOU GUYS WALKING US THROUGH IT.

AND I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THE HARD, HARD WORK THAT YOU'VE PUT INTO THIS TODAY.

[02:40:02]

THANK YOU. YOU DID A GREAT JOB.

WELL, EVERY CHIEF CONTRIBUTED.

MANY OF THEM POOLED THEIR OWN DATA.

WE JUST TRIED TO PACKAGE IT WELL FOR YOU.

PACKAGED BEAUTIFULLY GLAD IT SERVED YOUR NEEDS.

VERY MUCH. VERY GLAD OTHER FOR OUR BACK.

A LOT OF LEFTOVERS FROM OUR DIFFERENT EVENTS.

BUT EVERYONE LIKES A LITTLE CCPS SWAG, RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY. OTHER QUESTIONS.

YES. SO FOR SOME COMMENTS ON SOME OF THE PROPOSED EDITS ON PAGE 18, 19 AND 23, AND THEY'RE KIND OF ALL ALONG THE SAME VEIN AND CONNECTED TO WHAT I'VE SEEN AND THIS NEW ADMINISTRATION'S FOCUS ON DATA AND DISAGGREGATED DATA.

I HAVE FOUND IT FASCINATING TO BE ABLE TO GO INTO THE VIDEO EQUALITY REPORTS AND SEE EXACTLY, WHERE WE STAND AND IN DIFFERENT SUBGROUPS.

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, OBJECTIVE 1.1 MEET OR EXCEED PERFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS ON STATE ASSESSMENT INSTEAD OF SAYING ALL STUDENTS, BECAUSE IF YOU LUMP EVERYBODY TOGETHER RIGHT, THEN IT'S EASY TO MASK, SAY, OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WHO MAYBE ARE REALLY LAGGING BEHIND. AND AGAIN, ON THE STATE WEBSITE, THEY DO BREAK OUT INTO SUBGROUPS, SO TO SAY, FOR BLACK, HISPANIC, FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH AND SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS, BECAUSE I THINK THOSE ARE KIND OF THE BIG BREAKOUT AREAS.

SO THAT'S PAGE 18, PAGE 19.

IT'S A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT SAYS 90%.

BUT I GUESS WHEN YOU'RE REPORTING TO THE BOARD TO MAKE SURE TO USE THOSE SUBJECTS, BLACK HISPANIC FREE REDUCED LUNCH AND SPECIAL EDUCATION AGAIN SO THAT WE CAN IDENTIFY ANY TARGETED SUPPORTS NEEDED AND THEN CONNECTED TO INCREASED SUPPORT IN THE BUDGET.

AND THEN PAGE 23 BY 2025, CCPS GRADUATION RATE FOR ALL SUBGROUPS BLACK, HISPANIC, FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH.

SPECIAL EDUCATION WILL MEET OR EXCEED THE OVERALL STATE PERFORMANCE.

AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO IN THERE BECAUSE YOU REALLY CAN KIND OF SEE, OH, I KNOW ACTUALLY ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS THAT IS ADD THAT BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT BASICALLY KIND OF WHAT THE STATE IS TRACKING RIGHT.

AND THEIR PUBLIC SIDE. YOU CAN CLICK THE BUTTON FOR EACH OF THOSE GROUPS.

FOR US TO BE ALIGNED WITH WHAT THE STATE IS NOW TRACKING I THINK WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA AND AGAIN HELPS US CONNECT TO THE BUDGET.

ALRIGHT SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ARE GOING TO NEED MORE RESOURCES AND THAT TRANSLATES INTO HOPING OR NEED A FEW MORE SLIDES, BUT WE CAN DO IT.

AND THEN THE LAST THING IS KIND OF LIKE A NO ONE WILL BE SURPRISED THAT I MAYBE I'M ADDING THIS BECAUSE DR.

DOCTOR IS ALWAYS SAYING ALL MEANS ALL.

AND WHEN I LOOKED AT OUR MISSION IGNITE PASSION THROUGH AUTHENTIC AND CAPTIVATING EXPERIENCES, WHY DON'T WE SAY IGNITE PASSION IN ALL STUDENTS? BECAUSE ALL MEANS ALL.

AND JUST REFLECTING THAT IN OUR MISSION, I THINK THAT STATEMENT WAS CREATED BEFORE DR.

D CAME HERE. SO IT WAS LEFT OUT.

SO LET'S PUT IT IN. ALL RIGHT.

I'VE MADE NOTES OF ALL OF THOSE.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE SUGGESTIONS.

ANYONE ELSE QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS? I'VE BEEN TRYING TO CAPTURE ALL OF YOUR THOUGHTS AND THE OTHER SECTIONS AS I SAT IN THE AUDIENCE AS WELL.

WE APPRECIATE WE JUST APPRECIATE A WORK SESSION WHERE WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER AND HOPEFULLY YOUR EFFORTS AND YOUR THOUGHTS.

AND THIS WILL MAKE THIS PLAN FEEL VERY MUCH LIKE YOURS.

AND WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU SO YOU CAN TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEXT DRAFT.

THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.

NEXT WE HAVE ANNOUNCEMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS AND SCHOOL BOARD COMMENTS.

SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS. ARE THERE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS OR COMMENTS?

[D. Announcements, Communications, and School Board Comments]

I KNOW THIS YEAR AT OUR JANUARY 11TH BUSINESS MEETING, WE DID REAFFIRM THE SCHOOL BOARD CODE OF CONDUCT AND GOVERNANCE MANUAL, BUT WE DID NOT.

WE DO NOT DISCUSS THEM BECAUSE IT WAS THE ITEM ON THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[02:45:04]

I THINK, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF TIME INTO AMENDING OUR SUPERINTENDENT EVALUATION PROCESS, WE NEED TO DO THE SAME THING FOR OURSELVES. AND SO THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME.

SO I'M JUST WONDERING IF WAITING UNTIL JANUARY MIGHT BE A LONG TIME, GIVEN THAT IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

AND I DO HAVE SEVERAL PROPOSALS FOR REVISIONS THAT I THINK COULD MAKE FOR A MORE EFFICIENT AND TRANSPARENT BOARD.

BUT I'M WILLING TO WAIT.

AND IN THE INTEREST OF TIME, THOUGH, I WANTED TO BRING UP MAYBE ONE THING TO CONSIDER IN ADDITION TO REVAMPING OUR EVALUATION, OUR BOARD EVALUATION PROCESS.

ONE GOVERNANCE STOCK'S EDIT THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE AND IT'S ITEM 13 A BOARD LEADERSHIP STATES THAT, QUOTE, THE BOARD WILL ELECT THE CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR AT THE JANUARY RE ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING.

I HAVE BEEN ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE PUBLIC WHAT OUR PROCESS FOR ELECTING CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR ARE, BECAUSE THEY'RE VERY CURIOUS ABOUT HOW WE WORK, HOW WE'RE FUNDED. WE TALK A LOT ABOUT THIS STUFF, BUT I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT ONE BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE A PROCESS.

SO I SUGGEST THAT WE AMEND OUR DOCUMENTS TO ADD THE FOLLOWING PHRASE, QUOTE, NOMINATIONS AND OR BOARD MEMBERS INTERESTED IN SERVING IN THESE POSITIONS. THAT MEANS CHAIR, VICE CHAIR SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC IN THE DECEMBER BOARD MEETING, ALONG WITH A BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE CANDIDATES QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE POSITION. AND THEN I PROPOSE THAT IN ORDER TO ALIGN OUR BOARD PROCESSES WITH OTHER HIGH PERFORMING BOARDS, THAT WE MAKE THIS EDIT AT EITHER THE SEPTEMBER OR OCTOBER BOARD MEETING SO THAT THIS PROCESS WOULD BE IN PLACE FOR OUR JANUARY REORGANIZATION MEETINGS. WE WOULD HAVE THAT WOULD BE OUR FOURTH AND FINAL, I CAN'T BELIEVE, REORGANIZATION MEETING, AND WE WOULD DO SO WITH A PROCESS IN PLACE WHICH I THINK WOULD BE GOOD FOR THAT TO HAPPEN ONCE WITH THIS BOARD AND THEN HAVE IN PLACE WITH THE NEXT BOARD.

SO THAT'S ONE COMMENT.

AND THEN THE SECOND ONE, JUST BECAUSE I'VE BEEN AUGUST IS NORMALLY WHEN I THINK ABOUT ALL THESE THINGS IS WE ALWAYS HAVE A BOARD DEVELOPMENT GOAL OR A BOARD PD FOR THE YEAR.

AND BECAUSE THE NEW STATE EMPHASIS IS ON USING DATA THAT MAYBE WE CONSIDER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE AREA OF USING DATA TO MONITOR PROGRESS. SO I'M JUST GOING TO THROW THAT OUT THERE AS A POSSIBLE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GOAL FOR THE YEAR.

SO THOSE ARE THOSE ARE MY TWO THINGS.

FIRST THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS FOR THE GOING THROUGH AND LOOKING AT WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT WE TRADITIONALLY HAVE DONE HERE FOR OUR AUGUST MEETING? I JUST WOULD LIKE TO GIVE SOME FEEDBACK AS TO WHY THAT WE DIDN'T DO THE SELF EVALUATION, KIND OF LIKE YOU MENTIONED WITH THE SUPERINTENDENTS EVALUATION, WE HAVE KIND OF TAKEN A DEEPER DIVE INTO WHAT THAT PROCESS LOOKS LIKE.

AND SO AS A BOARD, WE WANT TO DO THE SAME THING FOR OUR OWN SELF EVALUATION.

SO WE'RE TAKING THESE NEXT SIX MONTHS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WE CAN DO.

AND I THINK SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS CAN BE BROUGHT INTO THAT, THAT DISCUSSION.

AND THEN AS WELL AS WITH THE GOVERNANCE PIECE, TOO, WE CAN TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION AND KIND OF TALK AS A BOARD WHAT WE WANT TO ADJUST.

BUT ONE PIECE WITH THE GOVERNANCE IS THAT WE DO LOOK AT THAT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

AND I THINK THAT IS A PERFECT TIME BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO SET GOALS FOR OURSELVES FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR, WHICH IS KIND OF HOW OUR BOARD OPERATES FROM A CHAIR OR VICE CHAIR.

WE OPERATE WE DON'T OPERATE ON A SCHOOL BASED CALENDAR.

WE OPERATE ON A COUNT, A FISCAL CALENDAR.

SO I DO THINK THERE'S GREAT SUGGESTIONS THERE AND WE CAN CONTINUE TO HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS COMMENTS OR FEEDBACK AT THIS TIME.

YEAH. MISS KILGORE, I WOULD JUST, YOU KNOW, JUST TO ECHO WHAT YOU WERE SAYING, AND I THINK YOU EVEN MS.

[02:50:02]

I THINK IF WE GIVE OURSELVES THAT TIME, THEN WHEN WE COME BACK IN JANUARY, WHAT WE'LL HAVE IS A PRODUCT THAT'S REALLY THOUGHTFUL, THAT'S VERY MEANINGFUL AND USEFUL TO HELP GUIDE US GOING FORWARD.

BUT I DO APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT UP BECAUSE I THINK IF SOMEBODY MAY HAVE WONDERED WHY AT OUR RETREAT WE WEREN'T DOING A SELF EVALUATION, WE'RE JUST KIND OF TRYING TO ALIGN ALL OF THAT TO GO INTO OUR REORGANIZATION MEETING IN JANUARY, WHICH TRADITIONALLY IS A LIGHTER AGENDA THAN THAN OUR AUGUST MEETING.

SO DEFINITELY ANOTHER GOOD POINT FOR TODAY'S MEETING.

RIGHT. SO THERE ARE NO OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS OR COMMENTS.

THE NEXT SCHOOL BOARD BUSINESS MEETING WILL BE HELD THIS EVENING, AUGUST 15, 2022, AT 6:30 P.M..

AND IF THERE IS NO FURTHER PUBLIC BUSINESS, WE WILL ENTER IN CLOSED SESSION, WHICH WILL BE HELD IN THE PUBLIC MEETING ROOMS.
