THANK YOU. ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE [APPLAUSE].

IF I COULD ASK OUR VISUAL ARTS TEACHERS OF THE YEAR TO COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME [APPLAUSE].

ART EDUCATION IS A VITAL, INTEGRAL PART OF K-12 CURRICULUM AS IT FOSTERS CREATIVITY, PROVIDES AN OUTLET FOR EXPRESSION, AND IMPROVES BOTH CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS. LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES PRESENTED TO STUDENTS THROUGH OUR VISUAL ARTS PROGRAMS HAVE LASTING EFFECTS ON SELF-CONFIDENCE AND CAN HELP TO OPEN PATHWAYS FOR FUTURE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES. CONGRATULATIONS.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN LOTS OF STUDENT'S LIVES EVERY DAY.

CONGRATULATIONS [APPLAUSE].

[00:10:03]

I HAVE THE BEST JOB EVER.

BUT I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT MY JOB IS WHERE I GET TO WORK EVERY DAY.

SALEM ELEMENTARY IS A TRULY, TRULY SPECIAL PLACE.

I HAVE THE ABSOLUTE MOST AMAZING RESOURCE TEAM WHO SUPPORT ME THROUGH ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.

AND WE HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS ADMIN TEAM AND THE STUDENTS THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY BEYOND FANTASTIC.

SO I AM TRULY THE LUCKIEST EVER SO.

[APPLAUSE] THANK YOU.

CONGRATULATIONS. IF I COULD ASK ERICA HARRIS TO COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME [APPLAUSE].

ERICA HARRIS, SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER AT MONACAN HIGH SCHOOL, WAS AWARDED THE OUTSTANDING TEACHER OF AMERICAN HISTORY AWARD BY THE LOCAL CHAPTER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, THEN WENT ON TO WIN THE STATEWIDE AWARD, TOO.

THIS AWARD HONORS FULL TIME TEACHERS OF HISTORY AND RELATED FIELDS SUCH AS SOCIAL STUDIES, GOVERNMENT AND CITIZENSHIP, EDUCATION IN GRADES 5 THROUGH 12.

HONOREES DEMONSTRATE INCISIVE KNOWLEDGE OF AMERICAN HISTORY ARE COMMITTED TO THEIR STUDENTS, FOSTER A SPIRIT OF PATRIOTISM AND LOYAL SUPPORT OF THE UNITED STATES, RELATE HISTORY TO MODERN LIFE AND EVENTS, AND REQUIRE HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARDS AT ALL TIMES FROM THEIR STUDENTS.

PLEASE JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING ERICA HARRIS [APPLAUSE].

YES, I NEVER FORGET JANE.

SHE'S GRADUATED. BUT NO, IT'S THE WAY THAT YOU I CAN SPEAK FIRSTHAND.

THE WAY THAT YOU INTERACT WITH YOUR STUDENTS AND YOU BRING THE SUBJECT TO LIFE AND YOU KEEP THEM ENGAGED.

IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO WALK PAST YOUR CLASSROOM AND SEE SOMETHING AMAZING GOING ON.

AND I CAN. I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL PLACED AWARD.

SO CONGRATULATIONS.

DID YOU WANT TO SAY ANYTHING? SURE. THE HISTORY AWARD WAS REALLY FUN TO GET.

I WROTE BASICALLY A HUGE ESSAY ABOUT ALL THIS STUFF, THE FUN STUFF I GET TO DO IN CLASS, LIKE TRENCH WARFARE ACTIVITIES WHERE THE KIDS THROW STUFF AT EACH OTHER.

PAPER ONLY.

IMMIGRATION ROLE PLAY TO HELPING MENTORING OTHER HISTORY TEACHERS.

I JUST KIND OF DO A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING WITH IT AND I WAS HONORED TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE IT.

I RECEIVED IT BACK IN MARCH AND I HAD TO GIVE A REALLY BIG LONG SPEECH IN FRONT OF LIKE 1000, 2000 PEOPLE, WHICH TERRIFIED ME.

BUT IT WAS REALLY FUN.

AND I JUST I LOVE TEACHING HISTORY.

I LOVE TEACHING WORLD HISTORY, AMERICAN HISTORY.

AND I THINK THAT MAYBE, JUST MAYBE, I'LL INFLUENCE ONE KID TO MAKE THIS WORLD A BETTER PLACE THAN WE CURRENTLY HAVE IT AND BY LEARNING ABOUT THE PAST [APPLAUSE].

CONGRATULATIONS.

IF I COULD ASK OUR LEARNING WITH YOU PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME.

LEARNING WITH YOU IS DESIGNED TO HELP MEMBERS OF THE MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITY CONNECT WITH CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

THE LATEST ROUND OF THIS FREE PROGRAM TOOK PLACE THIS YEAR, OFFERING PARTICIPANTS INFORMATION ABOUT THE SCHOOL DIVISION, INCLUDING RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES, WHILE HELPING LEADERS CONNECT WITH AND LEARN MORE ABOUT MULTICULTURAL COMMUNITIES.

AND NOW I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO JUAN.

JUAN, YOU'RE UP.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

AND THANK YOU. THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO UNFORTUNATELY WERE NOT ABLE TO ATTEND TONIGHT MEETING, BUT WE HAVE THIS LIST.

[00:15:03]

I KNOW SHE'S IN COLOMBIA.

SIMARA ENCARNACION, OLGA HERNANDEZ, JENNIFER VASQUEZ.

KATHRYN LIZETTE, HERNANDEZ CASTRO.

JENNY MARISOL [INAUDIBLE].

MARIA [INAUDIBLE] ACOSTA.

PAOLA CECILIA HENRIQUEZ.

THANK YOU [APPLAUSE]. SO I HAVE TO SAY THAT TO BE INVITED THE FIRST TIME THAT I WAS INVITED TO GO TO LEARNING WITH ME, I WAS REALLY FLOORED BY THE ACTIVITIES AND ALSO JUST THE ENGAGING ACTIVITIES THAT WERE HAPPENING.

AND IT'S REALLY GREAT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND MAKING SURE THAT EVERYONE IN OUR COMMUNITY IS PLUGGED INTO WHAT'S GOING ON AND UNDERSTANDS.

JUAN AND AMY, YOU GUYS HAVE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB WITH THIS PROGRAM, AND I'M REALLY GLAD THAT PROUD THAT YOU GUYS HAVE TAKEN IT AS FAR AS YOU CAN.

SO, AMY, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY ANY WORDS? I ALWAYS LIKE TO SAY WORDS, BUT I WILL SAY THIS IS JUANS' AND I'M JUST GOING IT'S SUCH A SUCH AN AWESOME OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO WORK ON THIS TEAM, TO REALLY BE ABLE TO GET CONNECTED. AND I WILL SAY THAT ANY OF THE THE LEADERS THAT COME AND SPEAK, MANY OF THEM SITTING IN THIS ROOM, SAY, I WISH I COULD DO THAT EVERY NIGHT.

THAT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE HAPPIEST, MOST FULFILLING THINGS THAT WE GET TO DO IS SHARE WHAT WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT.

JUAN.

OH, MY GOODNESS. OKAY, QUICK, LET ME WITH YOU.

BELIEVE ME, IT'S A NICE OPPORTUNITY FOR IMMIGRANTS AND NEWCOMERS.

WHEN WE ARRIVE, IN THIS CASE, CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.

MANY IMMIGRANTS DON'T HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT HOW TO NAVIGATE ANY SYSTEM.

SCHOOL GOVERNMENT.

THEY DON'T HAVE AN IDEA HOW TO OPEN A [INAUDIBLE], ACCOUNT, BANK ACCOUNT, ELECTRICITY ACCOUNT, AND ET CETERA.

ET CETERA. SO WITH THIS ACADEMY LEARNING WITH YOU, THEY ARE GAINING THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CCCPS PROGRAMS, BENEFITS AND SERVICES IN ORDER TO NOT ONLY SUPPORT THEIR OWN CHILDREN, BUT ALSO THEIR OWN COMMUNITY.

THANK YOU [APPLAUSE]. THANK YOU.

AND WHAT I'LL DO IS, IF ANYONE WANTS TO SAY ANYTHING, I'LL JUST PASS THE MICROPHONE.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING, JUST KEEP PASSING IT ALONG.

AND THEN BEFORE YOU GUYS LEAVE THE STAGE, IT COULD BE.

IT COULD BE. BEFORE WE LEAVE STAGE ON YOUR WAY OUT, MAKE SURE EVERYONE GRABS ONE OF THESE AS WELL.

BUT I'LL START RIGHT HERE.

IT COULD BE IN SPANISH.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL SAY SOMETHING.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER FOR ME, BEING A CHESTERFIELD RESIDENT.

AND I DO NOT KNOW MANY OF THE PROGRAMS, ESPECIALLY FOR ADULTS.

I MEAN, YOUR ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM IS AMAZING.

AND NOW THAT I AM IN THE COMMUNITY, I CAN SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW WHERE TO GO AND WHAT, YOU KNOW, THE PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE THAT I DO NOT KNOW.

ALSO, HAVING THIS PROGRAM IN SPANISH FOR A LOT OF PARENTS THAT YOU DON'T, YOU NEVER KNOW.

I WENT TO A A PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCE AND IT WAS ENGLISH IN SPANISH.

AND IT'S JUST AMAZING TO KNOW THE EFFORT THAT EVERYBODY IS PUTTING DAY IN AND DAY OUT.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND THANK YOU FOR JUST MAKING THIS HAPPEN.

THANK YOU, JUAN. GRACIAS.

OH, MY GOD. I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, TOO, TO EVERYBODY THAT WAS THERE.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH, EVERYBODY.

THANK YOU, JUAN, FOR EVERYTHING.

THANK YOU, JUAN. THANK YOU, EVERYBODY.

UM, I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, ALL OF THEM, BECAUSE I FEEL SO PROUD OF THEM BECAUSE THAT'S NOT EASY. UM, TO MY PART ISN'T EASY BECAUSE I'M FROM COLOMBIA.

[00:20:02]

FOR ME, UM, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFICULT, BUT, UH, WITH THIS PROGRAM, UM, THIS, UM, THIS COUNTRY IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY FOR ME, FOR ALL THEM.

AND I FEEL SO PROUD OF.

I'M JUST A GRINGO, BUT I WORK WITH SO MANY PEOPLE IN THE LATINO COMMUNITY AND THEY'RE LOOKING FOR RESOURCES.

AND A LOT OF TIMES I'M LIKE, HAVE YOU CHECKED WITH THE SCHOOL? HAVE YOU TALKED WITH ANYONE? THEY'RE LIKE, NO.

SO IT'S REALLY GREAT TO LEARN WHAT YOU ALL OFFER SO I CAN CONNECT PEOPLE.

THANK YOU. YEAH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I AM VERY GRATEFUL.

AND FOR STAY HERE.

I LISTEN ABOUT SOME TEACHERS AND I WAS VERY PROUD ABOUT THE THIS TEACHER AND BECAUSE THEY LOVE TEACH OUR KIDS AND GOD BLESS YOU AND I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I AM VERY GLAD, JUAN, FOR THESE OPPORTUNITIES.

I HAVE A LOT OF TIME THINKING ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS, ABOUT OUR CHESTERFIELD COUNTY AND LEARN ABOUT THIS, THE LEARNING WITH US HERE.

I LEARN MORE THINGS ABOUT OUR CHESTERFIELD COUNTY NEEDS.

AND BUT I.

I DON'T WANT ONLY MY RECOGNITION.

I WANT I THINK WE NEED INVOLVE MORE IN WHAT NEEDS OUR COMMUNITY.

I THINK ONLY KNOW THE CERTIFICATE.

I THINK WE NEED I DON'T KNOW, MAKE SOME THINGS AND HELP AND WORK TOGETHER.

THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE TOO MUCH ALL YOUR HARD WORK THIS COUNTY.

AND I AM PROUD THAT MY CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THIS OPPORTUNITY.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS ALL WE LEARN IN THIS OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. ROBIOUS.

THANK YOU.

IT SEEMED LIKE A LOT OF THE.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, DOCTOR DAUGHERTY, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.

MR. ROBERTS, WE APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TODAY TO PRESENT TO YOU OUR DRIVERS OF THE MONTH.

PROVIDING SAFE TRANSPORTATION FOR STUDENTS TO AND FROM SCHOOL EVERY DAY IS ESSENTIAL TO INSTRUCTION AND OUR CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS GO ABOVE AND BEYOND TO ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION EVERY DAY.

ALTHOUGH OFTEN UNSUNG HEROES TO MANY OF OUR STUDENTS, THEIR BUS DRIVER IS A ROLE MODEL FOR PATIENCE, HARD WORK, KINDNESS AND DEDICATION.

CCPS BUS DRIVERS ARE TO BE COMMENDED FOR THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE SCHOOLS AND FAMILIES WHICH THEY SERVE.

THERE ARE MANY BUS DRIVERS WHO COULD BE RECOGNIZED THIS MONTH, BUT EACH TRANSPORTATION AREA MANAGER HAD TO MAKE THE TOUGH DECISION OF SELECTING A SINGLE BUS DRIVER WHO

[00:25:06]

WE'D LIKE TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE FOLLOWING DRIVERS.

PLEASE COME DOWN WHEN I CALL YOUR NAME.

SHAMIKA JEFFERSON, AREA ONE BUS 137, ONE YEAR OF SERVICE.

TRICIA GREGG, AREA TWO BUS 825, FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.

BERNARD BROWN AREA THREE, BUS 641, FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE.

HE'S UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS EVENING, SO ACCEPTING HIS AWARD IS OUR AREA MANAGER, RON ARENA.

SHEENA SMITH AREA FOUR, BUS 794, TWO YEARS OF SERVICE.

THERE YOU GO. DONNA JARDINE, AREA FIVE, BUS 856, 23 YEARS OF SERVICE.

SO I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT I DID NOT BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH MY KID'S BUS DRIVER.

AND THERE WERE SO MANY MOMENTS WHEN I THOUGHT I JUST HAVE TO TRY HARDER TO MAKE THAT TIME.

BUT IT WAS A TOUGH YEAR AND TRYING TO FIT A WORKOUT IN AND GET KIDS OFF THE BUSSES AND ALL OF THAT.

BUT I THOUGHT OF IT MAYBE 40 TIMES DURING THE YEAR BECAUSE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS MEANT SO MUCH TO ME.

SO I WILL CONSOLE MYSELF WITH KNOWING THAT WE ARE RECOGNIZING AN AMAZING PAST BUS DRIVER CONNECTION THAT I'VE HAD IN THE TOO BUS DRIVING COMMUNITY.

SO YOU YOU DO SO MUCH.

SO I'D LIKE YOU TO SHARE IF YOU'RE NOT DRIVING THE SUMMER WHAT YOU WILL MISS.

AND IF YOU ARE DRIVING THE SUMMER, WHAT IS KEEPING YOU IN THE GAME THIS SUMMER? WELL, I AM DRIVING THIS SUMMER BECAUSE I LOVE SEEING ALL THE DIFFERENT KIDS THAT I INTERACT WITH EVERY DAY.

HOPEFULLY I GET SOME OF MY OLD BABIES BACK, BUT I DON'T KNOW.

I JUST LIKE INTERACTING WITH THEM.

AND EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET.

GOOD DAY, BAD DAY.

AND YEAH, I JUST.

YEAH. YES, I'M DRIVING THIS SUMMER.

SOME WOULD DEBATE IT'S A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT, BUT I LOVE IT.

I LOVE THE KIDS. SO EVERY DAY, LIKE SHE SAID, EVERY DAY IS A NEW DAY, DIFFERENT DAY.

IT'S A DIFFERENT CHALLENGE.

BUT I GET TO SEE ALL MY FAVORITE PEOPLE.

SO I SEE SOME FAMILIAR FACES AT ADMINISTRATIONS, AT THE SCHOOLS AND SOME OF THE SAME KIDS, SOME OF THE SAME PARENTS.

SO IT'S COOL TO SEE THE SAME PEOPLE.

I BELIEVE BERNARD IS DRIVING THIS SUMMER.

I WILL NOT BE, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THAT BEING UP HERE WITH THESE GUYS, THEY WORK MUCH HARDER THAN ME.

AND THE FACT THAT WE GOT THROUGH WERE ANOTHER YEAR TO GET TO DRIVING FOR SUMMER IS BECAUSE OF THE JOB YOU GUYS DO.

SO THANK YOU.

HI. YES, I AM DRIVING THIS SUMMER.

I JUST ENJOY DRIVING.

ACTUALLY, I LIKE TO TALK TO THE KIDS, INTERACT WITH THE KIDS, TALK TO MY COWORKERS, STAFF, EVERYBODY, SO I'M DRIVING PARTIALLY THIS SUMMER.

I JUST LOVE DRIVING.

MY KIDS MAKE ME SMILE AND LAUGH EVERY DAY.

THEY'RE JUST A JOY.

SO THANK YOU.

ANOTHER ROUND. THESE ARE OUR CCPS FIRST TEACHERS BECAUSE THEY SEE THEM BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE.

SO ANOTHER ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR OUR FIRST TEACHERS.

CONGRATULATIONS. CONGRATULATIONS.

OKAY.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS., DR.

DAUGHERTY, AS ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE SOME OF OUR OUTSTANDING FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICES TEAM MEMBERS.

[00:30:02]

THEIR COMMITMENT, FLEXIBILITY AND CARE FOR OUR STUDENTS IS DIFFICULT TO QUANTIFY, BUT THANKFULLY MEALS ARE NOT.

THIS PAST SCHOOL YEAR, OUR TEAM'S DETERMINATION TO FEED KIDS ACCOUNTED FOR OVER A 2.9 MILLION BREAKFAST.

OVER 5.1 MILLION LUNCHES.

OVER 86,000 AFTERSCHOOL MEALS AND OVER 120,000 MEALS LAST SUMMER, RESULTING IN A TOTAL OF 8,282,000 MEALS SERVED AND SMILES GIVEN DURING THE LAST SCHOOL YEAR.

I'VE HEARD DR. DAUGHERTY REFER TO OUR DEPARTMENT BEFORE AS THE BIGGEST RESTAURANT IN THE COUNTY.

NOT ONLY WOULD I AGREE WITH THIS STATEMENT, BUT I WOULD HUMBLY ADD THAT WE ALSO HAVE THE BEST CREW AND THE BEST CUSTOMERS IN THE COUNTY.

I KNOW A COUPLE OF OUR FOLKS WERE UNABLE TO JOIN US TONIGHT, BUT AS I CALL YOUR NAME, PLEASE COME FORWARD.

I BELIEVE OUR FIRST NOMINEE IS NOT WITH US TONIGHT.

AND THAT'S JENNIFER COX.

MISS COX IS A FOOD SERVICE ASSOCIATE AT JAMES RIVER HIGH SCHOOL AND HAS BEEN EMPLOYED WITH THE COUNTY FOR SEVEN YEARS AND FEELS THE BEST PART OF HER JOB IS JUST BEING ABLE TO SEE THE CHILDREN LAUGH AND SMILE.

NEXT, ALSO, I BELIEVE NOT WITH US THIS EVENING IS SUSANA AVALOS.

MISS AVALOS IS A FOOD SERVICE ASSOCIATE AT MIDLOTHIAN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND SHE'S BEEN WITH THE COUNTY FOR 15 YEARS.

SHE SAYS, I LOVE INTERACTING WITH THE STUDENTS AND STAFF EACH DAY.

THE SMILES I RECEIVE FROM THE STUDENTS WHEN I WISH THEM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY IS PRICELESS.

NEXT, WE HAVE JIMI DUBOSE.

MISS DUBOSE IS OUR ASSISTANT MANAGER AT ELIZABETH DAVIS MIDDLE SCHOOL, AND SHE'S BEEN WITH CHESTERFIELD COUNTY FOR TWO YEARS.

SHE SAYS, I LOVE MY JOB BECAUSE I GET TO PLAY AN INTRICATE PART IN CULTIVATING TODAY'S YOUTH BY ENSURING THEY HAVE THE FUEL THEY NEED IN ORDER TO FOCUS ON THEIR EDUCATION AND A BRIGHT FUTURE.

I ALSO LOVE THAT I GET TO WORK WITH A TEAM OF WONDERFUL WOMEN.

NEXT, WE HAVE SUSAN DICKERSON.

MISS DICKERSON IS OUR CAFETERIA MANAGER AT CARVER COLLEGE AND CAREER ACADEMY, AND SHE'S BEEN WITH THE COUNTY FOR 15 YEARS.

SHE SAYS, I THINK THAT WE TEND TO FORGET THAT KIDS ARE PEOPLE, TOO.

AND AS PEOPLE, WE ALL NEED HELP.

IF I CAN HELP THE KIDS WITH A NICE MEAL, A BIG SMILE AND A KIND EAR, I WILL.

I WANT TO BE THAT LUNCH LADY THAT THEY REMEMBER UNTIL THEIR KIDS ABOUT.

AND LASTLY, WE HAVE LINDA LARSON.

MISS LARSON IS OUR CAFETERIA MANAGER AT BELLWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, AND SHE'S BEEN WITH THE COUNTY FOR 26 YEARS.

SHE SAYS THE BEST PART OF MY JOB IS RUNNING INTO A STUDENT IN PUBLIC.

AND THEY SMILE AND SAY, THAT'S MY LUNCH LADY.

ONLY NOW THEY ARE AN ADULT WITH A CHILD OF THEIR OWN.

I KNOW I MADE A DIFFERENCE.

SO THANK YOU ALL.

CONGRATULATIONS. AND ONCE AGAIN, I HAVE THE HONOR OF CONGRATULATING YOU ON THIS HONOR, WHICH IT TRULY IS AN HONOR.

YOU'RE THE BEST OF THE BEST.

AND YOU ARE RIGHT. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY, NOT JUST TO THOSE CHILDREN'S STOMACHS, BUT ALSO FOR THEIR TEACHERS, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING LIKE TRYING TO TEACH A HANGRY STUDENT. AND I CAN TELL YOU, THE PERIOD BEFORE LUNCH, IT'S ALWAYS THE THE ROUGHEST BECAUSE THEY CANNOT THEY'RE JUST THEY'RE JUST WONDERING WHAT IS FOR LUNCH TODAY BECAUSE THEY COME TO SCHOOL, THEY COME TO US HUNGRY OFTEN AND YOU GUYS MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THEIR ENTIRE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE.

SO IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT, SHARE WITH US WHAT'S THE FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOUR JOB? THE FAVORITE THING ABOUT MY JOB IS THE KIDS COMING TO THE CAFETERIA EARLY AND WANTING TO FIND OUT WHAT'S FOR LUNCH AND NOT WANTING IT WHEN IT'S LUNCH TIME.

BUT I ENJOY JUST SEEING THEIR SMILES ON THEIR FACE AND KNOWING THAT I'M A PART OF THEIR DAY.

I'M REALLY NOT SURE WHAT MY FAVORITE PART IS.

I JUST ENJOY MY JOB.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS IS JUST WATCHING THEM GROW AND THE DIFFERENCE AND WHEN I WAS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL AND THE DIFFERENCE IN THE SCARED LITTLE FRESHMEN THAT CAME IN AND THEN THE SENIORS THAT LEFT, AND NOW I'M IN THE ELEMENTARY AND THE KINDERGARTNERS THAT CRY THE FIRST DAY AND THE FIFTH GRADERS THAT LEFT WILL LAST WEEK THAT WERE ALL CRYING BECAUSE THEY WERE LEAVING. SO THAT'S MY FAVORITE PART.

CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

[D. Public Comment]

COMMENTS SUBMITTED VIA THE ONLINE FORM WERE SENT TO THE BOARD PRIOR TO THE START OF TONIGHT'S MEETING AND WILL BE INCLUDED IN FULL AS AN ADDENDUM TO THE MEETING MINUTES. MADAM CLERK, WOULD YOU PLEASE ANNOUNCE THIS EVENING'S IN-PERSON SPEAKERS? MADAM CHAIR, WE HAVE SIX SPEAKERS THIS EVENING.

THEY ARE JACOB WEATHERFORD, DOMINIQUE CHATTERS, ANN TATUS, WENDY LITTLE, DORIS KUNEC AND ROBERT EVERETT.

EACH SPEAKER WILL HAVE FOUR MINUTES TO ADDRESS THE BOARD.

THERE'S A TIMER SET UP ON TOP OF THE PODIUM THAT WILL TURN GREEN WHEN YOU BEGIN SPEAKING, YELLOW WHEN YOU HAVE 30S REMAINING AND RED WHEN YOUR TIME HAS EXPIRED.

[00:35:08]

PLEASE HAVE YOUR MATERIALS ORGANIZED IN A MANNER THAT AS YOU ARRIVE AT THE PODIUM YOU ARE PREPARED TO START SPEAKING.

PLEASE NOTE THAT COMMENTS EQUIVALENT TO CAMPAIGNING FOR ANY PUBLIC OFFICE ARE IN VIOLATION OF SCHOOL BOARD POLICY 1110 AND ARE PROHIBITED.

MAY WE HAVE JACOB WEATHERFORD? GOOD AFTERNOON, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS JACOB WEATHERFORD AND I'M HERE AS A FATHER IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY TO STAND MY GROUND AND SAY, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

YOUR POSITION SHOULD ALWAYS REMAIN NEUTRAL IN THE SOLE PURPOSE OF YOUR JOB SHOULD ALWAYS BE TO PROVIDE OUR CHILDREN WITH THE BEST POSSIBLE EDUCATION AND A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

THE TIME FOR CHANGE IS NOW, MARCH 5TH.

THE TEACHER WAS ARRESTED AFTER ASSAULTING AT LEAST FOUR CHILDREN, ALL UNDER THE AGE OF FIVE.

MY SON IS THREE.

MAY 9TH, A 13 YEAR OLD WAS FOUND WITH A LOADED GUN AFTER BEING SUSPECTED OF POSSESSING MARIJUANA.

NO, I'M NOT REFERRING TO CRIME REPORTS FROM THE CRIME RIDDLED CITY OF CHICAGO.

I'M REFERRING TO SITUATIONS AND SITUATIONS HAPPENING HERE IN OUR SCHOOLS.

WHEN IT COMES TO OUR CHILDREN, CHILDREN'S PROTECTION HERE AT SCHOOL.

IT'S THE BARE MINIMUM.

TIME AND TIME AGAIN, WE SEE SENSELESS ACTS OF VIOLENCE TAKEN OUT ON OUR CHILDREN.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

WHEN HATE LIES IN YOUR HEART, YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO CAUSE PAIN.

WE NEED TO ALWAYS BE PREPARED.

SINCE 2018, THERE HAS AT LEAST BEEN 168 REPORTED SCHOOL SHOOTINGS NATIONWIDE.

2022 ALONE, AT LEAST 9.2% OF OUR CHILDREN, YOUR STUDENTS FELL VICTIM TO SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS COUNTRY.

AND IT'S SAID THAT AT LEAST 20% OF STUDENTS AGES 12 TO 18 EXPERIENCE BULLYING EACH YEAR NATIONWIDE.

IT'S A LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND MISSTEPS THAT CAUSED HISTORY TO REPEAT ITSELF TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

AND OUR CHILDREN CONTINUE TO SUFFER.

THE TIME IS NOW FOR YOU TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU WERE ELECTED TO DO.

MY CHILD WILL NOT BE A VICTIM.

NOBODY'S CHILD, NO MATTER WHAT OUR DIFFERENCES MAY BE, DESERVES TO BE A VICTIM.

NOTICE HOW I MADE NO MENTION OF RACE, GENDER OR SEX.

THAT'S BECAUSE IT SERVED NO PURPOSE IN OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION.

THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX IS PRIMARY FUNCTION IS TO INTELLIGENTLY REGULATE OUR THOUGHTS, ACTIONS AND EMOTIONS.

THIS ISN'T EVEN FULLY DEVELOPED UNTIL AN INDIVIDUAL REACHES THEIR MID 20S.

SO ISN'T IT FAIR TO SAY THAT WE TRULY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TYPE OF PERSON WE WILL BE IN LIFE UNTIL THAT CRITICAL PIECE OF OUR BRAIN IS DEVELOPED? OUR CHILDREN SCIENTIFICALLY CANNOT FULLY COMPREHEND WHO THEY TRULY ARE UNTIL THEIR MID 20S.

LET OUR CHILDREN BECOME YOUNG ADULTS BEFORE INTRODUCING THEM TO THESE EXPLICIT MATERIALS.

WHEN I WAS A SENIOR AT MATOACA HIGH SCHOOL, I ENROLLED IN CULINARY ARTS.

MY FRIEND WAS AN AUTO TECH AND A COMPLETE STRANGER TO ME WAS IN CARPENTRY.

THE POINT I'M TRYING TO MAKE HERE IS WE ALREADY HAVE A SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT AS WE GET OLDER, GIVES A STUDENT AND ITS PARENT THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE THAT CHILD'S INDIVIDUALITY AND TO CREATE A PATH IN THEIR EDUCATION IN A TIME IN WHICH THEY ARE TRANSITIONING FROM A CHILD TO BECOMING A YOUNG ADULT.

BY ALLOWING THE SEXUALIZATION AND INTERDICTION OF OUR CHILDREN, YOU ARE ROBBING THEM OF THEIR INNOCENCE, EDUCATION AND FREEDOM TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN BELIEFS.

LET'S GET BACK TO THE BASICS OF OUR TEACHERS TEACHING OUR STUDENTS MATH, SCIENCE, FACTUAL HISTORY, EQUITY OF OPPORTUNITY AND HOW TO THINK NOT WHAT TO THINK.

LET OUR KIDS LEARN ABOUT CULTURE AND DIVERSITY IN A WAY THAT BRINGS THEM ALL TOGETHER BY BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS, HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND BY JUDGING EACH OTHER BASED ON CHARACTER ALONE AND NOT COLOR, GENDER, RELIGION, OR THROUGH MEANS OF SEXUALIZATION AND INTERDICTION HOPEFULLY, I'M SAYING THAT WORD CORRECTLY.

TEACHERS WITHIN THIS COUNTY IN FAVOR OF TEACHING.

OUR STUDENT USES EXCUSES SUCH AS IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD.

AND I'M OKAY WITH EXPRESSING EXPLICIT TEXTS IN MY SYLLABUS BECAUSE AMAZING LITERATURE HAS BEEN WRITTEN ABOUT HUMAN SEXUALITY AND IT DESERVES TO BE TAUGHT ON MERITS OTHER THAN BECAUSE IT'S SIMPLY GOOD.

AS A PLACE OF EDUCATION, YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL CHILDREN DO NOT COME FROM THE SAME VILLAGE AND WE NEED TO PROTECT THEM ALL.

AND THE VILLAGE I COME FROM, THE PARENT TEACHES THE CHILD ABOUT SEX.

SO KNOW YOUR ROLES AND YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND STICK TO THEM.

JUST BECAUSE A BOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN DOES NOT MEAN THAT EVERYONE HAS MR. WEATHERFORD. THANK YOU.

DOMINIQUE CHATTERS.

GOOD EVENING DOMINIQUE CHATTERS, DALE DISTRICT.

THE MISSION OF THE SCHOOL BOARD IS TO IGNITE PASSION THROUGH INNOVATIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCES.

[00:40:05]

AND I WANTED TO SHARE A FEW WITH YOU TODAY.

WORDS MEAN MORE THAN WHAT IS SET DOWN ON PAPER.

IT TAKES THE HUMAN VOICE TO INFUSE THEM WITH SHADES OF DEEPER MEANING.

IF GROWING UP IS PAINFUL FOR THE SOUTHERN BLACK GIRL, BEING AWARE OF HER DISPLACEMENT IS THE RUST ON THE RAZOR THAT THREATENS THE THROAT.

IT IS AN UNNECESSARY INSULT.

THE CAGED BIRD SINGS WITH A FEARFUL TRILL OF THINGS UNKNOWN BUT LONGED FOR STILL.

AND HIS TUNE IS HEARD ON THE DISTANT HILL FOR THE CAGED BIRD SINGS OF FREEDOM.

THOSE WERE EXCERPTS FROM MAYA ANGELOU'S BOOK THAT MADE THE BANNED LIST AGAIN.

THE NEXT EXCERPT IS FITTING FOR THE TIMES THAT WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE TODAY.

TO COMPOSE A COUNTRY COMMITTED TO ALL CULTURES, COLORS, CHARACTERS AND CONDITIONS OF MAN.

AND SO WE LIFT OUR GAZES NOT TO WHAT STANDS BETWEEN US, BUT WHAT STANDS BEFORE US.

WE CLOSE THE DIVIDE BECAUSE WE KNOW TO PUT OUR FUTURE FIRST, WE MUST FIRST PUT OUR DIFFERENCES ASIDE.

WE LAY DOWN OUR ARMS SO THAT WE CAN REACH OUR ARMS OUT TO ONE ANOTHER.

WE SEEK HARM TO NONE AND HARMONY FOR ALL.

ALSO FROM THE BANNED BOOK LIST.

THE HILL WE CLIMB BY AMANDA GORMAN.

I MAKE REFERENCE TO THESE ONLY BECAUSE OF THE AREAS AROUND US OR HAVING THE ISSUE OF BOOKS BEING BANNED.

AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S CONCERN FOR THE THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN THESE BOOKS.

BUT OUR GOVERNOR HAS GIVEN THE POSITION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS, AND IT PUTS YOU ALL IN A VERY AWKWARD POSITION BECAUSE WHERE DO PARENTAL RIGHTS BEGIN AND WHERE DO PARENTAL RIGHTS END? IF I'M OKAY WITH MY HIGH SCHOOLER CHECKING OUT ONE OF THESE BOOKS, IT SHOULD BE THERE FOR HIM OR HER TO CHECK OUT.

AND IF YOU DON'T WANT YOUR CHILD TO HAVE THAT BOOK, THEN YOU TELL YOUR CHILD, DON'T TAKE THAT BOOK.

THAT'S NOT ALLOWED IN OUR HOME OR WHATEVER REASON YOU WANT TO GIVE.

BUT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE THERE DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD REMOVE ACCESS FROM MY CHILD.

BECAUSE PUBLIC SCHOOL IS FOR ALL CHILDREN, NO MATTER WHAT WE WANT THEM TO BE, HOW THEY WANT TO BE, HOW THEY WOULD LIKE TO BE IDENTIFIED, WHO THEY LOVE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WHAT MATTERS IS THAT WE MAKE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR EVERYONE THAT HAS EQUAL ACCESS.

SO BY DENYING X, Y, Z BOOK FROM MY CHILD, YOU ARE DENYING ACCESS TO MY CHILD.

SO NOT A POSITION YOU CHOSE BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR PUTS YOU IN THAT POSITION WITH THIS PARENTAL RIGHTS.

BECAUSE TECHNICALLY WE ALL WORK FOR THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION SINCE ALL PARENTS HAVE A RIGHT TO INPUT ON CURRICULUM.

AND I WOULD LIKE MY CHILDREN AND ALL CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS.

WE HIRED GREAT TEACHERS IN OUR COUNTY AND AWESOME LIBRARIANS.

LET THEM DO THEIR JOBS.

LET'S MAKE THE POSITION RESPECTABLE AGAIN AND TRUST THEM TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT.

AND IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO OPT OUT, WE HAVE THOSE FORMS ALREADY.

THERE'S NO NEED TO REMOVE BOOKS FROM OUR LIBRARY.

THE OPT OUT FORM CAN HANDLE THAT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MISS CHATTERS.

ANN TATUS.

JUST. MY NAME IS ANN TATUS, AND I AM THE MOTHER OF TWO WHAT I WISH WERE CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN, BUT I HAD TO PULL MY CHILDREN.

SO LIKE MS. CHATTERS SHIRT SAYS.

YES. CHESTERFIELD COUNTY DOES LOVE ITS PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

I'M A PRODUCT, BUT I CAN'T SEND MY CHILDREN THERE ANYMORE.

TO CLARIFY THE MEANING OF HER SHIRT.

I WISH I COULD SEND MY CHILDREN THERE.

ANY LAND IN WHICH PARENTS, SINGLY OR IN GROUPS, DO NOT HAVE FIRST AND LAST AUTHORITY OVER WHAT AND HOW THEIR CHILDREN LEARN IS NOT FREE.

TO BE CLEAR, THE ROLE OF SCHOOL IS NOT TO GET A JOB OKAY.

IN 2001, AN ARTICLE READ EDUCATION ORIENTED TO SPECIFIC WORKPLACE SKILLS AND JOB TRAINING PRODUCES GRADUATES WHO ARE LESS VERSATILE AND UNABLE TO CHANGE OCCUPATIONS WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL RETRAINING.

THERE IS LIFELONG VALUE IN GAINING KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY, LITERATURE, SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND ARTS FAR BEYOND THE WORLD OF WORK.

AMERICANS NEED TO BE VIGILANT AND EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND BE THE GUARDIANS OF THEIR FREEDOM TO BE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES THAT A FREE SOCIETY AFFORDS.

GOVERNMENT FUNDING IS MEANT TO NARROW THEIR FOCUS TO PRACTICAL SKILLS AT THE EXPENSE OF ACADEMIC SKILLS.

WE ARE 50TH IN THE NATION AGAIN FOR FOURTH GRADE LITERACY, WHICH BOGGLES MY MIND.

[00:45:04]

BUT YOU DON'T HEAR THAT FROM ANY OF THESE PEOPLE.

THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.

KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY, SCIENCE, MATHEMATICS AND LITERATURE IS A VALUABLE REGARDLESS WHETHER IT LEADS DIRECTLY TO A JOB.

THEN I'M GOING TO GO TO THE LAW THAT YOU REFUSE TO ENFORCE OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE.

VIRGINIA CODE PUPILS RECORDS 22.129.

SCHOLASTIC RECORD MEANS RECORDS THAT ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO A STUDENT AND OR MAINTAINED BY AN EDUCATIONAL AGENCY.

THIS DOCUMENTATION IS PERTINENT TO THE EDUCATIONAL GROWTH AND INCLUDES ACHIEVEMENT AND TEST DATA.

VIRGINIA IS THE ONE OF THE ONLY STATES THAT HAS NO BOOKS.

THE DEFINITION OF DATA OR SURVEY AND ASSESSMENT IS ANYTHING THAT COLLECTS DATA.

SO YEAH, ENFORCING THE LAW IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT FOR YOU SINCE WE DON'T HAVE BOOKS.

SO EVERYTHING YOU DO IS A SURVEY OR AN ASSESSMENT.

SUCH RECORDS MAY BE RECORDED IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO HANDWRITING PRINT, COMPUTER, MEDIA, VIDEO, AUDIO, TAPE, FILM, MICROFILM AND MICROFICHE.

AND TO EVERYBODY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY PARENTS HAVE TOLD ME THAT THEY'VE BEEN DENIED ACCESS TO THEIR CHILDREN'S SCHOLASTIC RECORD.

AND JUST TO BE REALLY CLEAR, INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS, THIS WOULD BE 8VAC 20-721 60, LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SELECTION AND UTILIZATION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS.

YOU SHALL DEVELOP, DEVELOP AND ADOPT POLICIES FOR THE SELECTION OF INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS THAT SHALL INCLUDE, AT A MINIMUM, THE RIGHTS OF PARENTS TO INSPECT UPON REQUEST, NOT FOIA THEIR EDUCATIONAL CURRICULUM FOR THEIR STUDENTS AND ACCESS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROTECTION OF THE PUPIL RIGHTS AMENDMENT.

THAT'S FEDERAL LAW 20 USC 1232H AND IMPLEMENTING REGARDING.

PROTECTION OF PUPIL RIGHTS AMENDMENT SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T SURVEY OR ASSESS MY CHILD SYSTEMICALLY EMBEDDED SEL ON THESE THINGS.

NO SURVEY ANALYSIS OR EVALUATION THAT REVEALS A CHILD OR POLITICAL AFFILIATIONS OR BELIEFS OF MY CHILD OR ME, MENTAL OR PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS OF MY CHILD OR HIS OR HER FAMILY.

SEXUAL BEHAVIOR OR ATTITUDES.

ILLEGAL, ANTI-SOCIAL, SELF-INCRIMINATING OR DEMEANING BEHAVIOR.

CRITICAL APPRAISALS OF OTHERS WITH WHOM RESPONDENTS HAVE CLOSE FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS, LEGALLY RECOGNIZED PRIVILEGE OR ANALOGOUS RELATIONSHIPS, RELIGIOUS PRACTICES, AFFILIATION, BELIEFS OF MY CHILD OR ME? INCOME. THESE ARE FEDERAL LAW.

NONE OF YOU CAN FOLLOW A SINGLE LICK OF LAW, AND I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL WE GET RID OF EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU RUNNING FOR REELECTION.

WENDY LITTLE.

GOOD EVENING. I'M WENDY LITTLE, CLOVERHILL DISTRICT.

IT'S REALLY AMAZING THE SUPPORT THAT THE ELL'S HAVE IN COMMUNITY.

I'M THE ONLY SUPPORT THAT THE SPECIAL EDUCATION KIDS HAVE IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.

HOW MANY YEARS HAS THE PUBLIC PEOPLE I DON'T EVEN KNOW MANY OF THEM NEVER EVEN MET ONCE STOOD UP FOR AARON AND THEN ALSO ME USING THEIR PUBLIC SPEAKING TIME FOR US.

NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON IN THE SCHOOL DIVISION WHO COULD HAS.

THERE IS A SPECIAL PLACE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF PEOPLE WHO ABUSE CHILDREN AND AN EXTRA SPECIAL PLACE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR THOSE WHO WOULD ABUSE OR ALLOW THE ABUSE OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES.

SOME SPECIAL EDUCATION ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF HAVE REGULARLY BEEN VERY ABUSIVE TOWARDS ME WITH THEIR LIES, DECEPTION, IGNORING, NEEDS, HIDING INFORMATION, TELLING OTHERS NOT TO RESPOND OR SPEAK TO ME SO I CAN ADVOCATE FOR WHAT MY CHILD NEEDS, WHICH IS EDUCATION.

LISTEN TO FEBRUARY AARON'S FEBRUARY IEP MEETING.

IF YOU CARE TO BE AWARE OF SOME OF THE BULLYING GOING ON, IT'S VERY DAMAGING.

I'VE TOLD YOU THAT BEFORE.

CCPS HAS BEEN ESSENTIALLY PRACTICING MEDICINE AND ESSENTIALLY EUGENICS ON OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION FAMILIES WITH NO LICENSE.

YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS.

YOU KNOW THAT. THE PUBLIC SPEAKS UP FOR ME.

THE PUBLIC SPEAKS UP FOR MY CHILD.

AND NOT A SINGLE PERSON ABOVE SPECIAL EDUCATION HAS AN OUNCE OF INTEGRITY TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AND THE SCHOOL YEAR IS OVER.

BY THE WAY, IF SOMEBODY WHO HAD SHARED THINGS WITH ME, I'D LIKE TO REQUEST A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR A SPECIAL EDUCATION MOM, WENDY NUNNERY, WHO ALSO SERVED IN THE AIR FORCE.

SHE DIED SUDDENLY RECENTLY.

[00:50:01]

A MOMENT OF SILENCE, PLEASE.

KUDDOS TO GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN FOR COMING THROUGH WHERE CCPS FAILED REPEATEDLY PERTAINING TO RECOVERY OF LEARNING FOR HIGH RISK CHILDREN, CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES, AND LOW INCOME STUDENTS. THIS IS WHAT THIS SIGN HAS BEEN ABOUT.

FUND SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS.

NOW, THAT WAS THE MILLIONS THAT I BROUGHT TO YOU.

AN IDEA FUNDING 20% OF THE ESSER THREE AND ANOTHER 1.6 MILLION BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T DOING RECOVERY OF LEARNING.

SUMMER SCHOOL DOESN'T COUNT.

ESY DOES NOT COUNT.

THERE IS MORE INFORMATION COMING UP ON THAT.

GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN, WHO DO YOU THINK MAYBE HAD A LITTLE HAND IN THAT TO FINALLY GET DIRECT HELP FOR THE SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS? FOR GOD'S SAKES? I DID ALL THAT WORK AND BROUGHT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO YOU.

AND YOU TREAT ME AND MY KID LIKE YOU'RE ALLOWING YOUR PEOPLE TO TREAT ME.

SO THERE ARE THERE ARE GRANTS AVAILABLE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS AND LOW INCOME STUDENTS, UP TO $3,000 APIECE.

FOR ANYBODY WHO HASN'T APPLIED, HURRY UP AND DO SO.

AND WHERE DO I GET A REFUND ON THE MONEYS YOU ALREADY RECEIVED TO EDUCATE AARON AND YOU HAVEN'T EDUCATED HIM? WHAT ABOUT HIS USDA SCHOOL LUNCHES? YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GIVING HIM LUNCH? HAVEN'T BEEN FEEDING HIM? HOW MUCH OF THE TAXPAYERS IS CHESTERFIELD PAYING FOR THE STATE COMPLAINT I FILED TWICE THAT BDAU REJECTED WRONGLY GOING BACK TO SEPTEMBER 2022.

THEN I FILED AGAIN OCTOBER, WRONGLY REJECTED.

THEN IT WAS DELAYED AND THE THIRD TIME I WON YOU GOT A CORRECTIVE ACTION? VDOE SHOULD HAVE NEVER ACCEPTED CCPS'S RESPONSE LATE AFTER THE DEADLINE, ESPECIALLY WITH FALSIFIED INFO, MORE TO COME ON THAT.

VDOE EMPLOYED AN ATTORNEY, THEN CCPS YOU SUED VDOE, YOU SUED VDOE TO OVERTURN IT.

I CAN'T MAKE THIS UP ALL WHILE VIOLATING MY FERPA RIGHTS AND MUCH OF AARON'S I WITH ANOTHER ATTORNEY GROUP WITH WHOM CCPS DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A CONTRACT.

FURTHERMORE, NOW THE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS INVOLVED.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR JURISDICTION.

NONE OF YOU. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR JURISDICTION.

SO TO WHAT EXPENSE IS IT TO CCPS AND THE TAXPAYERS TO FALSIFY INFORMATION AND TRY TO GET OUT OF RESPONSIBILITY UNDER FEDERAL LAW? YOU HAVE A YOU HAVE A CBG LONG PLAN.

DR. POPE IS ON [INAUDIBLE] AND [INAUDIBLE] WHERE THE SPECIAL EDUCATION HANDBOOK THAT'S REFERENCED IN YOUR DOCUMENTS.

WHERE IS IT? YOU CAN DO THAT.

WHY? WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING IT? AARON'S OUT OF SCHOOL DUTY. YOU'RE SPED PEOPLE.

NOT HIM, NOT ME. OKAY MS. LITTLE. DORIS KINNICK.

HELLO, SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.

THIS BOARD HAS BEEN TASKED WITH PROTECTING CHILDREN, AND YOU HAVE A FIDUCIARY DUTY TO DO ALL YOU CAN TO PROTECT THEM.

MEANWHILE, YOU'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT RADIATION IN THE CLASSROOM POSES A HEALTH THREAT TO CHILDREN.

AND WHAT'S BEEN DONE TO REDUCE THAT EXPOSURE? RUSSIA ACTUALLY BANS WI FI AND CELL PHONES IN CLASSROOMS TO PROTECT CHILDREN'S BRAINS AND REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS.

I'M SUBMITTING A SHEET THAT SHOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO SCHOOL NURSES DISTRICT WIDE TO SURVEY STUDENTS HEALTH, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT SAY THAT THERE IS NO RISK TO THEIR HEALTH IF YOU'RE NOT ASKING, KEEPING TRACK OR TESTING RADIATION LEVELS IN THE CLASSROOM.

I'LL ALSO BE SUBMITTING TO PUBLIC RECORD INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE FDA IS NEGLIGENT ALSO, AS WELL AS BEST PRACTICES FOR USING WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY IN SCHOOLS.

SOMETHING I'M PRETTY CERTAIN YOU'RE NOT AWARE OF IS THAT THE FDA IS NEGLIGENT ALSO.

AND IN 1968, CONGRESS PASSED PUBLIC LAW 90-602, AN ACT TO AMEND THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE ACT TO PROTECT PROVIDE, I'M SORRY, PROVIDE FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC HEALTH FROM RADIATION EMISSIONS, FROM ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS, ALSO KNOWN AS THE RADIATION CONTROL FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY ACT OF 1968.

IN ITS DECLARATION OF PURPOSE, CONGRESS WROTE, THE CONGRESS HEREBY DECLARES THAT THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY MUST BE PROTECTED FROM THE DANGERS OF ELECTRONIC PRODUCT RADIATION. THIS LAW WAS UPDATED AND CODIFIED INTO CURRENT LAW IN 1991, WITH NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE IN ITS UNDERLYING PURPOSE OF MINIMIZING THE PUBLIC'S EXPOSURE TO BOTH IONIZING AND NON-IONIZING RADIATION, MEANING THAT IT HEATS THE SKIN.

THE FDA HAS A TECHNICAL ELECTRONIC PRODUCT RADIATION SAFETY STANDARDS COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED IN 1968.

HOWEVER, THE COMMITTEE HAS NOT MET SINCE 2016, AND THE FDA HAS ALLOWED THE COMMITTEE'S MEMBERSHIP TO DWINDLE TO JUST FIVE OUT OF THE REQUIRED 15 MEMBERS.

SO THEY'RE FAILING TO DO THEIR JOB.

IT'S UP TO THE FDA.

IT'S THE FDA THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE MEASURING RADIATION LEVELS IN SCHOOL CLASSROOMS AND PROMOTING BEST PRACTICES TO MINIMIZE THE EXPOSURE TO OUR KIDS.

THEY'RE NOT DOING IT.

SO YOU MUST.

IT'S THE FDA THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE WARNING UTILITIES AND CONSUMERS ABOUT SMART METERS, MANDATING OPT OUT POLICIES AND HELPING PEOPLE REDUCE THEIR EXPOSURES.

IT'S THE FDA THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE PROMOTING POINT OF PURCHASE WARNINGS ABOUT CELL PHONES, ROUTERS, GAME CONSOLES, TABLETS, WEARABLES AND ALL OTHER WIRELESS DEVICES.

[00:55:08]

THERE IS A MASSIVE CAMPAIGN GOING ON RIGHT NOW TO HOLD THE FDA ACCOUNTABLE FOR FLAGRANTLY DEFYING THE LAW.

ANYONE CAN READ THIS INFORMATION AT AMERICANS FOR RESPONSIBLE TECH.ORG CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL COULD BE LEADING THE WAY TO PROTECT CHILDREN IN CLASSROOMS BOTH, BUT INSTEAD EXCUSES ARE BEING MADE.

THERE'S THREE EASY WAYS TO REDUCE EXPOSURES.

ONE, HAVE CLASSROOMS TESTED TO DETERMINE RF RADIATION EXPOSURE LEVELS.

TEST AT TASK LEVELS WITH ALL DEVICES OPERATING.

YOU COULD DO THIS IN THE SUMMER WITH THE DEVICES ON WITHOUT THE CHILDREN PRESENT.

IF YOU PUT THEM ADEQUATELY WHERE THE KIDS WOULD HAVE PLACED THEM ALL AROUND WIRELESSLY, EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK, WE SHOULD BE ASKING THE IT STAFF TO REDUCE OUTPUT POWER LEVELS AND ADJUST THE BEACON FREQUENCY OF ROUTERS AND ACCESS POINTS TO REDUCE EXPOSURE LEVELS.

WE SHOULD STOP ALL PURCHASES OF WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY PENDING NEW EXPOSURE LEVEL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM FEDERAL AGENCIES.

I HAVE SHARED WITH YOU THAT THE FCC IS ALSO NOT IN COMPLIANCE.

THAT'S WHY THEY LOST THEIR LAWSUIT AGAINST CHILDREN'S HEALTH, DEFENSE AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH TRUST IN 2021.

STUDENTS, TEACHERS AND STAFF DESERVE TO BE PROTECTED FROM OVER EXPOSURE TO RADIATION FROM WIRELESS DEVICES.

THE VIRGINIA MEDICAL FREEDOM ALLIANCE IS COMMITTED TO EDUCATING SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS, PARENTS AND TEACHERS ABOUT THESE HEALTH CONCERNS.

I'VE JOINED FORCES WITH THEM.

HOW MANY CHILDREN HAVE SUFFERED FROM HEALTH PROBLEMS IN YOUR SCHOOLS WHEN THERE ARE STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO PROTECT THEM? AND WITH THE LAST COUPLE SECONDS, I'LL READ SOME OF THOSE HEALTH CONCERNS.

I'M SURE MY TIME WILL RUN OUT.

CARDIOVASCULAR PROBLEMS, ARRHYTHMIA, BLOOD PRESSURE, ABNORMALITIES, HEART PALPITATIONS, EYE PAIN, PRESSURE AND VISUAL DISTURBANCES, FATIGUE, HEARING LOSS, EAR PAIN, RINGING IN THE EARS, NAUSEA, NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS, ANXIETY.

THE LIST GOES ON. IF ANYBODY IN THIS ROOM WOULD LIKE A COPY OF THIS, I HAVE EXTRAS.

THESE ARE ALL FOR YOUR PUBLIC RECORD.

PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING.

DO SOMETHING. THANK YOU.

ROBERT EVERETT.

WELL. SO THIS IS, I THINK, THE LAST MEETING UNTIL I THINK AUGUST I WILL SAY THIS, THAT I'M VERY EXCITED TONIGHT BECAUSE A FATHER THAT CAME IN, HIS FIRST NAME WAS JACOB, WAS INSPIRED BY MY CO-FOUNDER AND MYSELF TO COME OUT AND SPEAK AND SPEAK UP FOR WHAT HE BELIEVES IN AND NOT BE AFRAID ANYMORE.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE TRY TO TELL EVERYBODY TO STOP BEING AFRAID AND COME OUT AND SPEAK AND SPEAK YOUR MIND AND DO IT UNAPOLOGETICALLY.

SO WHAT I'M GOING TO START NOW IS I'M GOING TO READ THIS.

I'M GOING TO WATCH MY TIME CAREFULLY.

SO I'M HERE BEFORE YOU TODAY TO ADDRESS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN CAUSING CONCERN AMONG PARENTS AND GUARDIANS IN OUR COMMUNITY.

SEXUALLY EXPLICIT LIBRARY BOOKS HAVE FALLEN IN THE HANDS OF OUR CHILDREN.

THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THROUGH NEW UPFRONT PROCEDURES, WHICH I KNOW IN NOVEMBER WE WERE LOOKING AT THAT NEW PROCUREMENT PROCESS, WHICH I KNOW THE STAFF IS WORKING ON, I THINK.

AND THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ON HOW THESE BOOKS ARE PURCHASED AND REVIEWED IN OUR LIBRARIES.

WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BOOKS ARE PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT.

THEY TEACH US HOW THE WORLD AROUND US IS TO EXPAND OUR IMAGINATIONS AND HELP US GROW INTO A WELL ROUNDED INDIVIDUAL.

HOWEVER, WHEN YOU INTRODUCE THESE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT CONTENT AND INTRODUCE INTO A CHILD'S LIFE THROUGH BOOKS, IT CAN BE NEGATIVE AND LONG LASTING EFFECTS ON THEIR EMOTIONAL PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING.

AS A COMMUNITY AND AS A SCHOOL BOARD, YOU GUYS HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN FROM EXPOSURE OF THIS INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT.

WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT OUR LIBRARIES ARE PROVIDING AGE APPROPRIATE MATERIALS AND THAT PARENTS ARE INFORMED ABOUT THE CONTENT OF THESE BOOKS THROUGH THEIR CHILDREN AND BORROWING THEM AND AUTOMATICALLY OPTED IN AND NOT HAVING TO SEARCH ONLINE TO GO GET OPTED IN.

THERE SHOULD BE AN AUTOMATIC OPT IN TO GET A RECEIPT THAT YOUR KID, WHICH I'VE DONE AND IT WORKS GREAT SO YOU KNOW THE SYSTEM WORKS BUT TO FIND THIS I HAD TO DO AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO TO SHOW HOW PARENTS CAN FIND THE OPT IN THAT'S GOING TO GET THEIR RECEIPT.

SO I WOULD RATHER HAVE AN OPT OUT OF GETTING THOSE RECEIPTS AND THEN INSTEAD OF THEY OPT IN TO WHERE A PARENT HAS TO GO FISH THROUGH ABOUT THREE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE PAGE.

SO I'M ADVOCATING FOR THAT.

SO I'M GOING TO SKIP THE REST OF THIS BECAUSE A GENTLEMAN DID A MUCH BETTER JOB THAN I'M DOING RIGHT NOW, DOING HIS HIS SPEECH.

I HAD MORE TO SAY ON THAT, BUT I'M GOING TO MOVE ON.

SO I CREATED A COMMITTEE. I HAD MY KICKOFF MEETING LAST MONTH.

MANY PEOPLE SHOWED UP.

I SHOWED THEM EXACTLY WHAT TO DO IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, WHERE TO GO, WHERE TO FIND THESE BOOKS.

I ACTUALLY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO SHOW THEM WHERE TO GO TO FIND THE BOOKS BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT? I DID IT FOR THEM.

SO I'VE BEEN GETTING TOGETHER WITH ABOUT 3 OR 4 OTHER COUNTIES SPOTSYLVANIA, ORANGE COUNTY, AMELIA, PALATINE, YOU NAME IT.

I'VE BEEN WITH THEM. WE'VE BEEN EXCHANGING LISTS OF BOOKS AND EXCERPTS OF THESE BOOKS AND PICTURES OF THESE BOOKS.

[01:00:02]

SO HERE'S MY LITTLE LIST.

OH, WAIT, IT'S NOT SO LITTLE.

THIS IS MY LIST OF ALL THE BOOKS THAT ARE IN EACH INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.

IF YOU LIKE THE LIST, I'LL SEND IT TO YOU.

98% OF THESE ARE SEXUALLY EXPLICIT.

THEY TALK ABOUT PERFORMING SEX, SEXUAL ANYTHING SEXUALLY EXPLICIT.

THEY'RE IN THESE BOOKS. I SEARCHED THEM.

I GOT THE EXCERPTS.

THIS IS A SEVEN FOOT PAGE AND THIS IS ONLY 90 BOOKS.

THIS IS 90 BOOKS. I GOT ANOTHER 100 TO DO AND I'M GOING TO KEEP RESEARCHING.

I'M GOING TO FIND THE HABITUAL OFFENDERS, THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE DOING THIS.

I ALREADY HAVE AN IDEA.

LUCKILY, MY SCHOOL WHERE MY MY KIDS GO TO HAVE VERY MINIMUM QUANTITIES OF THESE.

SO I'M VERY I'M SEARCHING KEY WORDS, THE C WORD.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY IT. THE P WORD.

THE D WORD, WHAT TO DO WITH CERTAIN THINGS.

AND YES, THERE MIGHT NOT BE PICTURES IN THERE, BUT THESE ARE IN MIDDLE SCHOOLS.

OKAY. AND SO I'VE BEEN SHUT DOWN.

I CAN'T REMOVE THEM FROM ANY SCHOOL.

I HAVE TO HAVE A KID IN THAT SCHOOL.

AND WHICH IS NOT HOW I READ THE POLICY.

BUT SO I CREATED THE COMMITTEE.

I GOT MANY PARENTS DOING THIS ALREADY.

I PROVIDED THEM THIS WHOLE LIST.

I PROVIDE THEM THE EXCERPTS, THE PICS.

SO THEY'RE GOING TO BE EMAILING ALL THEIR PRINCIPALS AND THIS IS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

IF ANY OF IT GOES TO APPEALS.

I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. MR. DAUGHERTY IS GOING TO HAVE TO BE PART OF THAT AS WELL, AND I THINK HE ALREADY GETS PART OF THAT WHEN HE GETS REPORTED.

WE JUST NEED A BETTER SYSTEM IN PLACE SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN UP FRONT.

WE DON'T I'M NOT AN AUDITOR.

I'M NOT GETTING PAID BY CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, BUT I'VE SPENT HOURS AND MONTHS ON THIS.

AND SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. MADAM CHAIR, THAT CONCLUDES THIS EVENING'S PUBLIC COMMENT.

THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.

[E. Superintendent's Report]

DR. DAUGHERTY. I CALL UP DR.

MERRYMAN TO TALK ABOUT THE 23 GRADUATIONS.

GOOD EVENING, MISS COKER, MS. HAINES SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS AND DR.

DAUGHERTY. I'M HERE TO SHARE SOME INFORMATION REGARDING GRADUATIONS FOR THE CLASS OF 2023, WHICH, AS YOU GUYS ALL KNOW, WE DID JUST COMPLETE.

THEY WERE HELD DURING THE WEEK OF MAY 22ND AT VIRGINIA STATE AND VCU, AND WE WERE ABLE TO CELEBRATE OVER 4500 STUDENTS GRADUATING THROUGH CHESTERFIELD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

SOME OF OUR STUDENTS HAD ALREADY ENTERED THE WORKFORCE OR HAD ENTERED THE MILITARY, SO THEREFORE WE ONLY HAD 4427 STUDENTS CROSSED THE STAGE.

AND I KNOW PROBABLY DR. DAUGHERTY AND SOME OF Y'ALL'S ARMS FELT EVERY ONE OF THOSE HANDSHAKES.

SO WE APPRECIATE THAT.

WE HAVE CLASS SENIOR CLASS SIZES RANGING FROM 614 AT THOMAS DALE TO 93 AT CARVER WITH ABOUT AN AVERAGE CLASS SIZE OF A 434.

SO THEY REALLY ARE A TREMENDOUS GROUP OF KIDS CROSSING THOSE STAGES THERE.

I'LL BE HONEST, THIS PICTURE JUST BRINGS ME SUCH JOY BECAUSE IT'S JUST THIS IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT GRADUATIONS, THE EXCITEMENT YOU SEE IN FAMILIES FACES AND IN CHILDREN'S FACES.

YOU KNOW, AND I KNOW SOME OF THOSE PARENTS WHO FELT THAT WERE SOME OF OUR PARENTS WHO HAD STUDENTS WHO WERE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE GED, BECAUSE I KNOW SOMETIMES STUDENTS STRUGGLE AND THAT'S THE CHOICES THEY MAKE. AND SO STEPHEN HACKETT AND HIS TEAM HELPED 39 OF OUR STUDENTS EARN THAT GED THIS YEAR.

AND THEY CROSSED MANY OF THEM CROSSED THAT STAGE WHEN THEY WERE AT CARVER.

ADDITIONALLY, REBECCA HARMON'S TEAM WITH ADULT EDUCATION, THEY'VE WORKED WITH OVER 60 ADULT LEARNERS IN ORDER TO EARN THEIRS THIS YEAR.

SO REALLY WE'VE HAD ALMOST 100 STUDENTS, ADULTS AND SENIORS WHO'VE BEEN ABLE TO EARN THEIR GEDS.

THEREFORE, BEING ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME DIPLOMAS AND SOME SKILL SETS THAT WILL HELP THEM MOVING FORWARD AS CITIZENS, WHICH I THINK IS GREAT.

AND FOR THEIR JOB SEARCHES.

I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU, OF COURSE, FOR ATTENDING THESE GRADUATION CEREMONIES.

I KNOW IT'S A HUGE CHUNK OF YOUR DAY AND TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE THE SPEECHES AND SAY THE SPEECHES AND FIND THE SPEECHES.

I APPRECIATE THAT FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

I ALSO CERTAINLY THANK THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AS PARTNERS WHO COME AND SHARE THAT JOY WITH US, TOO.

I WANT TO THANK DR. DAUGHERTY, OF COURSE, FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR GRADUATES.

I WANT TO THANK DR. TYLUS, WHO'S ALWAYS WILLING TO HELP ME OUT NO MATTER WHAT, IF IT'S MOVING CHAIRS, PLANTS, DIPLOMA COVERS, ETCETERA.

MS.. COKER HERSELF WAS OUT THERE MOVING CHAIRS FOR US.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS I LOVE ABOUT CHESTERFIELD IS THAT WHEN SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN, EVERYONE'S WILLING TO TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO BE PREPARED FOR OUR GRADUATES. SO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THAT.

I WOULD CERTAINLY BE REMISS IF WE DIDN'T MENTION ALL THE WORK THAT THE PRINCIPALS AND THEIR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAMS AND THE TEACHERS DO EVERY DAY AS THEY HAVE THOSE STUDENTS IN THOSE HIGH SCHOOLS, GETTING THEM PREPARED TO GRADUATE.

AND THAT INCLUDES GETTING THEM PREPARED WITH SOFT SKILLS, INTERVIEW SKILLS, GETTING THEM PREPARED ON EDUCATION, THE AP DE INDUSTRY CERTIFICATIONS, GETTING THEM PREPARED TO TAKE THEIR SOL TEST, ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THEY HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO CROSS THAT STAGE AND GRADUATE.

[01:05:01]

THERE'S SO MUCH THAT HAPPENS BEHIND THE SCENES TO MAKE SURE THAT IT'S BOTH A QUALITY EXPERIENCE AND THE BUILDINGS AND A QUALITY EXPERIENCE AT GRADUATION.

SO I CERTAINLY CANNOT THANK THOSE TEAMS ENOUGH FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO.

BEHIND THE SCENES, A PIECE BEHIND THE SCENES THAT WE CERTAINLY DON'T THINK ABOUT.

AND I ALSO NEED TO ALWAYS THINK TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES.

THEY HAVE A LOT OF TASKS AROUND GRADUATION TIME, BOTH MAKING SURE THAT ALL OF OUR UNDERCLASSMEN MAKE IT TO GRADUATIONS FOR THE BAND AND CHORUS ACTIVITIES, THE JUNIOR MARSHALS, BUT ALSO ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT THEY MOVE ACROSS THE DISTRICT FROM VCU TO VSU, SO WE CAN MAKE SURE THAT WE PARTICIPATE AND THEY HAVE ALL THAT WE NEED.

SO I CERTAINLY WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR HELP AND GUIDANCE FOR THAT.

CERTAINLY OUR COMMUNITY RELATIONS DEPARTMENT, THEY ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT OUR FAMILIES ARE ABLE TO WATCH THESE EVENTS AT HOME AND THEY TAKE CARE OF ALL OF OUR FILMING THERE AT THE VENUES. I KNOW I CAN'T DO THAT.

SO I'M SO THRILLED THAT WE HAVE PEOPLE ABLE TO DO THOSE THINGS.

IF NOT, WE MIGHT BE WE WOULD BE IN TROUBLE IF YOU GUYS EXPECTED ME TO TAKE CARE OF THAT.

SO I'M REALLY APPRECIATIVE OF THEM AND THEIR WORK THAT THEY DO.

AND I CERTAINLY KNOW THAT WE HAVE OVER 90 CENTRAL OFFICE STAFF WHO COME IN AND SPEND MULTIPLE HOURS VOLUNTEERING AT THOSE GRADUATIONS, HELPING MAKE SURE THAT EVERY ONE OF THOSE FAMILIES HAVE A QUALITY EXPERIENCE.

AND SO I CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THAT.

AND AS I SAID, GRADUATION IS ONE OF MY IT'S A BUSY TIME, BUT IT'S SO THRILLING BECAUSE YOU GET TO SEE THAT JOY IN FAMILIES AND STUDENTS FACES.

YOU GET TO SEE THEM CROSS THE STAGE AND YOU GET TO SEE THE KIDS WHO ARE JUST HOLDING THAT DIPLOMA WITH SUCH SHEER EXCITEMENT.

AND SO I JUST I KNOW IT HELPS ME REMEMBER WHY WE DO THE WORK THAT WE DO HERE IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY AND ACROSS THE DISTRICTS.

AND SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU GUYS FOR THE WORK THAT YOU DO FOR THAT.

THANK YOU DR. MERRIMAN, BOARD MEMBERS, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? SO IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO, I'LL GO.

AGAIN, IT WAS A PHENOMENAL GRADUATION SEASON, AND PARTICULARLY I PARTICULARLY ENJOYED THIS YEAR.

BUT I THINK YOU REALLY ARTICULATED IT WELL THAT LIKE THE WHOLE CCPS TEAM, WHEN SOMETHING NEEDS TO GET DONE, IT JUST THERE'S NOBODY SAYS THAT'S NOT MY JOB.

AND IT SHOWS.

THE EVENT WAS ABSOLUTELY JOYFUL.

I THINK ALL THE EVENTS THAT I ATTENDED WERE VERY JOYFUL AND BUT ALSO VERY PROFESSIONALLY AND WELL EXECUTED.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU DO.

AND IT WAS SO MUCH FUN WATCHING YOU HUG YOUR DAUGHTER ON STAGE AND WATCHING YOU HUG YOUR SON.

SO I LOVE THAT. I JUST LOVE THAT.

YES. EXTRA, EXTRA SPECIAL GRADUATION SEASON THIS YEAR, BUT PHENOMENAL, JUST LIKE EVERY YEAR.

SO EVERYONE DOES A FANTASTIC JOB FROM STAFF TO THE VENUE, FROM THE SUPPORT THAT WE GET AT VSU AND VCU. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, NOT ONLY AS A SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER, BUT AS A MOM.

SO THANK YOU, GUYS.

SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. BOARD MEMBERS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION.

AND A SECOND. MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL ROLL ON THE MOTION.

NEXT WE HAVE MEMO NUMBER 096-23.

MR. SMITH, AS SHARED WITH THE POLICY REVIEW COMMITTEE STAFF, RECOMMENDS REVISIONS TO CURRENT POLICY AND REGULATIONS AS FOLLOWS.

REVISIONS TO POLICY 4010-R, STANDARDS OF STUDENT CONDUCT.

THE POLICY UPDATES PER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER REQUESTS AND PER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS UPDATED TO REFLECT AMENDMENT VIRGINIA CODE 22.1-279.6 BY HOUSE BILL 1592 AND SENATE BILL 1072 REGARDING NOTIFICATION OF BULLYING ALLEGATIONS AND 22.1-279.3 BY HOUSE BILL 1982. REGARDING NOTIFICATION BY PRINCIPAL WHEN A STUDENT'S CONDUCT IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN SUSPENSION OR FILING OF A COURT PETITION AND UPDATED TO REFLECT AMENDMENT VIRGINIA CODE 22.1-277.07 BY HOUSE BILL TWO SENATE BILL 70 FROM 2020 AND LEGAL REFERENCES ARE UPDATED.

I THOUGHT IT'S IMPORTANT TO KIND OF WALK THROUGH THIS POLICY BECAUSE THERE OBVIOUSLY ARE SOME CHANGES BASED ON FROM WE HAD IT IN FIRST REVIEW.

YOU WILL NOTE THERE'S TWO COLOR CODES IN HERE.

ONE IS IN YELLOW.

THOSE ARE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE REQUIRED BY JULY 1.

THE ONES IN GREEN ARE FROM THE DISCUSSION FROM THE SCHOOL BOARD, AT FIRST REVIEW FROM THERE AND JUST KIND OF WALK THROUGH THESE.

ON PAGE TWO, THERE'S IN YELLOW THE ADDITION OF OR PRINCIPAL'S DESIGNEE WHICH IS A LEGAL CHANGE ON PAGE THREE.

UNDER THE DEFINITION OF DESTRUCTIVE DEVICE, THERE IS A REVISION THERE IN YELLOW FOR THE CODE SECTION CHANGE.

THEN ON PAGE SIX IN GREEN, THIS IS FROM THE SUSPENSION FROM EXTRALEGAL ACTIVITIES.

THIS IS A CHANGE FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD CONVERSATION.

ON PAGE SEVEN, A CHANGE FOR THE SCHOOL BOARD CONVERSATION REGARDING THE REFERENCE TO BEEPER PAGING DEVICE.

ON PAGE NINE REVISION PER SCHOOL BOARD CONVERSATION WITH REGARD TO COLLABORATION AND UTILIZATION FOR STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AND STUDENT LEADERSHIP. AND ON PAGE TEN, IF YOU WANT TO PAUSE HERE, OBVIOUSLY THE BULK OF THE CONVERSATION IS THE SCHOOL BOARD HAD IN THE MAY MEETING WAS WITH REGARD TO THE CONSEQUENCES AS THEY RELATE TO ALCOHOL AND THEN AS IT RELATES TO MARIJUANA, ETCETERA.

THE CHANGE HERE ESSENTIALLY THAT YOU HAVE IN PLACE HERE NOW HAS FOR FIRST OFFENSE AND THIS IS VERBATIM FOR BOTH ALCOHOL AND THEN THE MARIJUANA AND SYNTHETIC CANNABINOIDS, ETCETERA.

WHAT YOU HAVE NOW WITH THIS CHANGE WOULD BE A FIRST OFFENSE IS A TEN DAY OUT-OF-SCHOOL SUSPENSION.

YOU'RE ADDING LANGUAGE THAT SAYS NO PARTICIPATION IN OR ATTENDANCE AT ANY AFTER SCHOOL OR SCHOOL SPONSORED ACTIVITIES UNTIL THE STUDENT HAS SUCCESSFULLY ATTENDED FIVE FULL SCHOOL DAYS AND COMPLETED FORMALIZED PLANS FOR ALL OF THE STUDENT'S COURSES AS IT PERTAINS TO INSTRUCTIONAL MAKEUP WORK.

AND THEN YOU'RE MAINTAINING THE LOSS OF PARKING PRIVILEGES FOR 365 DAYS.

AND ON PAGE 11, THAT'S EXACTLY THE SAME CHANGE.

ON PAGE 12, THERE'S THE ADDITION OF THE WORD VAPING WITH REGARD TO TOBACCO AND VAPING VIOLATIONS.

THEN ON PAGE 15, THERE'S A LEGAL CHANGE THERE WITH REGARD TO THE NOTIFICATION REGARDING AN ALLEGED INCIDENT OF BULLYING.

ON PAGE 18 PER SCHOOL BOARD CONVERSATION.

THAT'S A CHANGE WITH REGARD TO SEARCH AND SEIZURE.

AND THEN AT THE VERY END, YOU HAVE JUST LEGAL REFERENCES, CHANGES THERE IN YELLOW ON PAGE 28 AND PAGE 29.

THESE PROPOSED CHANGES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD ATTORNEY.

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT SCHOOL BOARD APPROVE THE ABOVE REFERENCE REVISIONS TO CURRENT POLICY AND REGULATIONS.

IT'S FURTHER RECOMMENDED THE SCHOOL BOARD SCHEDULE THESE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

BOARD MEMBERS, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE MEMO 096-23 AS PRESENTED.

SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. BOARD MEMBERS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? MS. HEFFRON. THANK YOU, MR. SMITH. JUST A AN EDITORS EYE, PAGE NINE.

THERE'S SEEMS TO BE A TYPO.

[01:15:02]

SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND MADAM.

OH, I'M SORRY, MISS HAINES DIDN'T, UM.

I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT.

I KNOW THERE WAS SOME HOPE THAT WE COULD UPDATE OUR VAPING POLICY AS WELL, BUT KNOWING THAT IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO DO THAT, WE HAD A VERY SHORT TIMELINE.

UM, SO I DID AT LEAST WANT TO COMMEND THIS BOARD FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THAT A PROGRESSIVE APPROACH TO RATHER THAN PUNITIVE APPROACH TO DISCIPLINE IS THE WAY TO GO, WHILE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING THAT OUR VAPING POLICY COULD USE SOME WORK IN THE FUTURE.

SO I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST THAT AND IT'S INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, IT'S ALSO THE VIRGINIA FOUNDATION FOR HEALTHY YOUTH.

I DIDN'T REALIZE IT'S ACTUALLY A STATE DEPARTMENT UNDER THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES.

SO IT WAS ESTABLISHED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN 1999.

I THINK WE MIGHT GET SUPPORT FROM THEM TO FIND A PROGRESSIVE NON PUNITIVE POLICY THAT THAT IS WORKING BECAUSE OUR CURRENT POLICY IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING.

SO IN THE WORK SESSION, I THINK OUR SUPERINTENDENT MADE SOME COMMENTS THAT THERE ARE THERE ARE SOME PLANS TO WORK TO EDUCATE PARENTS AND HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME SUPPORT FROM THE YMCA AND HOPEFULLY OTHER COMMUNITY, SAFE, SUBSTANCE ABUSE FREE ENVIRONMENT. SO I'M HOPING WE WILL BE ABLE TO UPDATE THE VAPING POLICY IN THE FUTURE.

AND I'M VERY PROUD OF WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO IN A VERY SHORT TIME.

SO. THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND.

I WOULD NOTE THIS PACKET IS VERY HEALTHY.

IT IS REGARDING LEGAL CHANGES WE HAVE TO HAVE IN PLACE BY JULY 1ST.

IT'S NOT THE PREFERENCE TO COME TO THE BOARD TO WAIVE A FIRST READING, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE THESE HAVE TO BE IN PLACE BY THAT POINT IN TIME.

MADAM CHAIRMAN, YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU TWO RECOMMENDED ACTIONS.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

BOARD MEMBERS, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE MEMO 104-23 AS PRESENTED.

SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. BOARD MEMBERS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND.

MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE MOTION.

APPROVED. NEXT, WE HAVE MEMO NUMBER 097-23.

MS.. CAMPBELL.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DR.

DAUGHERTY. I AM HERE TONIGHT TO TALK ABOUT YEAR END UPDATE AS WE APPROACH JUNE 30TH FOR FISCAL YEAR 23.

SO 097-23 IS HERE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

MR. MEISTER SENDS HIS REGRETS THAT HE COULD NOT BE HERE THIS EVENING.

JUST TO START, BIG PICTURE, WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT $11.9 MILLION IN SURPLUS AT THE END OF THIS YEAR AFTER THE AUDIT IS COMPLETE IN EARLY FALL.

WHAT THAT CONSTITUTES IS 12.7 MILLION IN EXPENSE SAVINGS, OFFSET BY A 0.8 MILLION IN LOWER REVENUE EXPECTATIONS.

NOW THAT REVENUE IS BASED ON THE CURRENT STATE BUDGET OF RECORD.

YOU MAY REMEMBER MR. MEISTER COMMENTS LAST MONTH THAT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY IS PROJECTED PERHAPS TO RETURN TO CONTINUE TO DISCUSS PROPOSED BUDGET AMENDMENTS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 23 AND 24 BIENNIUM.

THE PROJECTIONS TONIGHT REFLECT THE BUDGET OF RECORD, WHICH WE ARE REFERRING TO AS THE SKINNY BUDGET.

KEY DRIVERS OF THESE SAVINGS INCLUDE TEACHER AND OTHER STAFF VACANCIES OFFSET BY HIGHER FUEL AND UTILITY COSTS THAT WE'RE SEEING IN OUR OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE DIVISION AND OUR TRANSPORTATION DIVISIONS.

AS IN YEARS PAST, WE'D LIKE TO USE THESE SAVINGS TO BE INVESTED IN OUR REQUIRED FUND BALANCE ALLOCATION PER CHESTERFIELD COUNTY CHARTER CIP RESERVES TO CONTINUE THE GREAT PROJECTS WE'VE ALREADY STARTED AND OTHER SCHOOL NEEDS THAT WE WILL EVALUATE AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THE AUDIT AS WE GET MORE INFORMATION FROM THE STATE MOVING FORWARD.

IN ADDITION TO THIS 11.9 MILLION IN SURPLUS, THIS WE HAVE 9.4 MILLION IN BUDGET CONTINUATION.

WHAT THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE STARTED IN THE CURRENT YEAR THAT WE CARRY INTO NEXT YEAR.

THE FUNDS ARE USUALLY STATE ALLOCATED AND OR DONATIONS.

SOMETIMES IT'S COUNTY DEDICATED FUNDS THAT START AT A PROJECT THAT DIDN'T QUITE GET FINISHED BY THE END OF THE YEAR.

THIS LIST CONSTITUTES A VERY SIMILAR LIST AS YOU'VE SEEN IN YEARS PAST, WITH TWO NEW ADDITIONS THE ELEMENTARY LITERACY PURCHASE IN THE AMOUNT OF $2.5 MILLION IS IN RESPONSE TO OUR ELEMENTARY LITERACY PLAN.

WE'RE LOOKING TO PURCHASE THAT CURRICULUM.

BUT WHAT WE'RE WAITING ON IS A STATE DECISION THAT WE'RE HOPING WILL BE MADE NEXT WEEK OR THE WEEK AFTER.

ALSO, YOU'LL SEE FUNDING RELATED TO THE CHESTERFIELD RECOVERY ACADEMY.

WE RECEIVED A BRIEFING ON THAT EARLIER TODAY, AND THAT IS THE FUNDING REMAINING FROM THAT STATE INITIAL PILOT ALLOCATION THAT WE'D LIKE TO CARRY FORWARD INTO NEXT YEAR TO CONTINUE INVEST IN THAT PROGRAM.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A BREAKDOWN OF WHAT THAT 11.9 MILLION MAKES UP, WE'RE SEEING MOST OF IT IN INSTRUCTION ALLOCATION WITH ABOUT 13.4 MILLION THERE RELATED TO TEACHER VACANCY FOR THE MOST PART, VERY SMALL AMOUNTS IN OUR OTHER CATEGORIES.

BUT I'D LIKE YOU TO NOTE THAT IN OUR OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE CATEGORY, WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT A $2 MILLION DEFICIT.

WE HEARD MR. THUMMA TALK ABOUT ALL THE GREAT THINGS HE'S DOING THIS YEAR IN FACILITIES AND MAINTENANCE.

HE MAKES UP JUST A PORTION OF THAT O&M BUDGET THAT'S BEEN INCREASINGLY IMPACTED BY THE RESULTS OF INFLATION TO OUR UTILITIES.

ALL OF THAT TAKEN TOGETHER MAKES THAT 11.9 MILLION I MENTIONED EARLIER.

THIS GIVES YOU A BRIEF PICTURE OF WHAT WE'D LIKE TO DO WITH THAT FUNDING.

AS SAID, OTHER FUTURE SCHOOL NEEDS USUALLY MAKE UP MAINTENANCE, OTHER OPERATIONS COSTS OR A COMPENSATION RESERVE THAT WE'VE USED TIME AND TIME AGAIN AS OUR ONE TIME FUNDING AND OUR BUDGETS. WE'LL COME BACK IN NOVEMBER, DECEMBER TIME FRAME WITH A DEFINITE LIST AFTER WE HAVE ANSWERS FROM THE STATES MOVING FORWARD.

[01:30:09]

YOU'LL NOTE THAT THAT DEFICIT IN OPERATIONS, WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE WE MAKE WHOLE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO THIS PROPOSES TO TRANSFER FUNDING FROM INSTRUCTION TO OPERATIONS.

IT ALSO ADJUSTS OUR REVENUE APPROPRIATION TO ACCOUNT FOR THAT $800,000 LOSS THAT WE'RE EXPECTING AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

SO IF YOU WILL, PLEASE REVIEW MEMOS 09723 WITH THE APPROPRIATIONS CHANGES, THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET FUND AND YEAR END USAGE, AND THEN OUR RESERVE LIST, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU, MISS CAMPBELL.

BOARD MEMBERS, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE MEMO 097 DASH 23 AS PRESENTED.

SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. BOARD MEMBERS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND.

MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE MOTION.

NEXT, WE HAVE MEMO NUMBER 099-23.

MR. DAVIS.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM CHAIR.

MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND DR. DAUGHERTY.

MEMO 099-23 IS THE SUBJECT OF AWARD OF CONTRACTS FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES, MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, FIRE PROTECTION AND STRUCTURAL.

BOTH COUNTY STAFF AND CCPS HAVE NEED FOR THESE SERVICES AND WHEN IT'S NECESSARY.

EVERY SEVERAL YEARS WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF HIRING A GROUP OF FIRMS THAT CAN PROVIDE THESE SERVICES TO THE COUNTY.

AN RFP WAS ISSUED IN DECEMBER OF 22.

13 FIRMS SUBMITTED PROPOSALS AND TEN WERE SHORTLISTED.

AFTER A REVIEW OF THE PROPOSALS, PRESENTATIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS, THE EVALUATION COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD AND BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVE AWARD OF THE REFERENCED CONTRACTS TO.

FIRST IN LOT ONE, MECHANICAL ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING.

CMTA INCORPORATED DEWBERRY MOSELEY ARCHITECTS, SOLIS, O'BRIEN, SIMMONS, ROCK, CHARLIE AND PRINCE AND THOMPSON CONSULTING ENGINEERS.

FOR LOT TWO WHICH IS FIRE PROTECTION, DEWBERRY AND SOLIDS O'BRIEN LOT THREE WHICH IS STRUCTURAL, DEWBERRY, DUNBAR LYNCH MICKENS THERE'S NO FISCAL IMPACT IN SELECTING THESE FIRMS. OUR SCHEDULE IS FOR YOU TO APPROVE TONIGHT.

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS APPROVAL TO EXECUTE THE REQUIREMENTS CONTRACT WAS ON MAY 25TH OF 2023, AND THEN IN LATE JUNE, THE PROCUREMENT DEPARTMENT WILL FINALIZE THE CONTRACTS WITH THE SELECTED CONSULTANTS AND WILL BEGIN ISSUING TASK ORDERS IN THE FIRST FISCAL YEAR QUARTER OF 2024.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT TO AWARD THE REQUIREMENTS CONTRACTS BY LOT WITH THE CONSULTING FIRMS LISTED IN THE MEMORANDUM.

THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS.

BOARD MEMBERS, MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE MEMO 099-23 AS PRESENTED.

SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. BOARD MEMBERS.

IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND.

MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE MOTION.

NEXT, WE HAVE MEMO NUMBER 100-23.

MR. DAVIS? YES. MEMO 100-23 HAS THE SUBJECT OF FALLING CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 009 TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES. THE BUILDING RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT WAS DESIGNED USING STANDARD TECHNOLOGY, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT THAT HAD BEEN SPECIFIED FOR OUR MOST RECENT CIP EFFORTS, INCLUDING THE MOST RECENT MIDDLE SCHOOL, MANCHESTER MIDDLE AND ELEMENTARY MOSLEY AFTER THE CONTRACT AWARD WAS MADE FOR THIS FALLING CREEK PROJECT, THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT UPDATED ITS STANDARDS FOR NETWORK CABLING FROM CAT FIVE E TO CAT SIX A.

THIS UPDATE WILL BETTER SUPPORT FUTURE TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES AND ENHANCEMENTS AS THE CAT SIX A CABLE OFFERS LESS CROSSTALK AND LESS SIGNAL LOSS COMPARED TO CAT FIVE E, WHILE ALSO INCREASING THE FREQUENCY BANDWIDTH GIVEN ITS SIGNIFICANTLY FASTER PROCESSING SPEEDS.

[01:35:03]

THIS CHANGE WAS ALSO INCORPORATED IN THE BASE BID CONTRACT FOR THE NEW THREE 60 WEST AREA MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THE FISCAL IMPACT IS A CHANGE ORDER REQUESTED FOR THIS SCOPE OF WORK MODIFICATION AT FALLING CREEK MIDDLE.

THIS CHANGE ORDER INCLUDES CHANGING THE NETWORK CABLING, AS MENTIONED FROM CAT FIVE E TO CAT SIX A AT A COST OF $203,455. SINCE THE TOTAL APPROVED AND PROPOSED CHANGE ORDERS FOR THIS PROJECT TO DATE AND INCLUSIVE OF PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER 009 TOTAL $200, 628 OR 0.246% OF THE ORIGINAL CONTRACT VALUE, SCHOOL BOARD APPROVAL IS REQUIRED.

THE PROPOSED CHANGE ORDER HAS NO IMPACT ON THE OVERALL CIP PROGRAM BUDGET.

FUNDS FOR THE CHANGE ORDER ARE AVAILABLE WITHIN THE EXISTING BALANCE OF THE PROJECT BUDGET.

STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD AUTHORIZE THE PROCUREMENT DIRECTOR TO APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER 009 IN THE AMOUNT OF $203,000 $455 UNDER OUR CONTRACT WITH THE GULF SEABOARD FOR THE CREDITS AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES AT FALLING CREEK MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THANK YOU, MR. DAVIS.

BOARD MEMBERS. MAY I HAVE A MOTION TO APPROVE MEMO NUMBER 100-23 AS PRESENTED.

SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND. BOARD MEMBERS, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? THERE HAS BEEN A MOTION AND A SECOND.

MADAM CLERK, PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON THE MOTION.

[G. Discussion Agenda]

FIRST UP IS MEMO NUMBER 013-3 FOR MR. SMITH.

103-23.

STAFF RECOMMENDS REVISIONS TO CURRENT POLICIES AND REGULATIONS AS FOLLOWS.

REVISIONS TO POLICY 5220 VACATION LEAVE FOR 12 MONTH EMPLOYEES AND REVISIONS OF POLICY 5240 PERSONAL LEAVE FOR 10-11 MONTH EMPLOYEES.

SECOND READING AND FINAL SCHOOL BOARD ADOPTION FOR THE ABOVE NAME IS SCHEDULED FOR THE NEXT REGULAR SCHOOL BOARD MEETING IF APPROVED.

REVISIONS TO CURRENT POLICY REGULATIONS WILL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.

I WOULD NOTE ON THIS MEMO WE HAVE LISTED A PHYSICAL IMPACT.

AND A SECOND, I'M GOING TO WALK YOU THROUGH THESE TWO POLICIES ON THE PHYSICAL IMPACT, THOUGH, WE WOULD NOTE THAT IN LOOKING AT THESE TWO, WE DO SEE A FINANCIAL LIABILITY OF ABOUT $500,000.

OBVIOUSLY, THE PHYSICAL IMPACT WOULD BE STAGGERED OVER TIME.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT PAY OUT EVENTS FOR EMPLOYEES, WHICH WOULDN'T HAPPEN ALL AT ONE TIME HOPEFULLY.

ABOUT HOWEVER, THERE WOULD BE A ONE TIME INCREASE IN THE LIABILITIES UP TO $500,000.

GIVEN THE HIGHER LEAVE BALANCES EMPLOYEES MAY BE ALLOWED TO CARRY FORWARD.

IN LOOKING AT THE FIRST ONE 5220 JUST TO WALK YOU THROUGH THOSE.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO LOOK AT HERE IS AGAIN, THIS IS VACATION LEAVE FOR 12 EMPLOYEES.

LOOKING AT THE RATE OF ACCUMULATION.

SO THERE'S TWO LEVELS THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR POLICY NOW.

ONE, FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US FROM 0 TO 10 YEARS, JOB RELATED EXPERIENCE, THE MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION WOULD CHANGE FROM 288 TO 328 ON SECTION B, THAT'S TEN YEARS AND MORE.

THEY WOULD GO FROM 360 TO 440.

AND LOOKING AT THE MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION, YOU'LL SEE SOME CARRY FORWARD LANGUAGE IN THE NEXT POLICY TOO.

LOOKING AT THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF JUNE 30TH, 2024 AND JUNE 30TH OF EACH YEAR KIND OF GOING FORWARD, THAT ESSENTIALLY IS A CHANGE IN THE TIME THAT WE'D HAVE. OBVIOUSLY LOOKING AT THE RATES OF ACCUMULATION, PUTTING US MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED TO THE FISCAL YEAR.

AND THEN ON PAGE TWO OF THIS POLICY, YOU'LL SEE THERE, OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE SITUATION OR EMPLOYEES TRANSITION FROM TO A 12 MONTH ROLE.

THEY HAVE DIFFERENT LEAVE REQUIREMENTS.

SO THERE'S LANGUAGE HERE TALKING ABOUT THE CONVERSION OF ANNUAL LEAVE HOURS AND 5240 THAT POLICY PICKS UP THERE. IT WOULD BE CHANGED.

SO AT THIS POINT, IT'S REALLY JUST PERSONAL LEAVE FOR 11 MONTH EMPLOYEES.

BUT YOU HAVE THERE OBVIOUSLY IS LOOKING AT THE SAME KIND OF LANGUAGE HERE, TALKING ABOUT THE MAXIMUM PERSONAL LEAVE ACCUMULATION AT FOUR 40 HOURS AND THEN PROVISIONS THERE TO ALIGN THAT MORE CLOSELY WITH OUR THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF AUGUST 15TH, TALKING ABOUT THE CONVERSION OF ANNUAL LEAVE HOURS.

I WILL NOTE WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THIS AND WANTED TO BRING IT TO THE BOARD AND REALIZE WE THOUGHT CLOSELY ABOUT HOLDING THIS UNTIL THE AUGUST MEETING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, BUT

[01:40:01]

LARGELY LOOK AT THESE POLICIES WE'RE LOOKING CLOSELY AT OBVIOUSLY THE IMPACTS THAT THESE HAVE WITH OUR NEIGHBORING SCHOOL DIVISIONS AND REALLY LOOKING AT THE THE LEAVES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR SCHOOL DIVISION VERSUS SOME OF THE OTHER SCHOOL DIVISIONS, NOT JUST IN THE AREA, BUT ALSO DIVISIONS OF OUR SIZE.

THIS ESSENTIALLY PUTS US PRETTY MUCH WHAT WE WOULD SAY IN MIDDLE OF THE PACK.

IT DOESN'T PUT US HIGHER THAN OTHER SCHOOL DIVISIONS.

IT PUTS US REALLY VERY COMPETITIVELY WITH THE LOCAL REGIONS, WHICH WE'RE MOST LIKELY ALIGNED TO, AS WELL AS THE LARGER, LARGER SCHOOL DIVISIONS.

CERTAINLY IT'S A LOT TO KIND OF TAKE IN.

THE PACKET DIDN'T COME TO YOU UNTIL LATE TODAY AND WE APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.

AGAIN, WE HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT JUST TO HOLD IT UNTIL AUGUST, BUT FOR TONIGHT'S PURPOSES, WE WANTED TO PUT THAT BEFORE YOU KNOWING THAT WE DO HAVE UNTIL AUGUST AND CERTAINLY MORE TIME IF WE NEED IT, BUT WANTED TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION IN FRONT OF US GOING INTO KIND OF THE SUMMER MONTHS.

THE FORMAL RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD CONSIDERED THESE PROPOSED REVISIONS TO CURRENT POLICY AND REGULATIONS.

IT'S FURTHER RECOMMENDED THE SCHOOL BOARD SCHEDULE THESE FOR THE SECOND READING AND ADOPTION AT THE SCHOOL BOARD'S NEXT REGULAR MEETING.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

BOARD MEMBERS, IS THERE ANY DISCUSSION? MS.. BAILEY.

I HAVE A SMALL QUESTION.

I TO ASSUME THEN THE IMPETUS FOR THIS CHANGE WAS TO MAKE US MORE COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER REGIONS, OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE SIMILAR SIZE BECAUSE WE WEREN'T IN THE ACCUMULATION OF SICK LEAVE.

CORRECT. I THINK AS WE TALK ABOUT OUR CONVERSATION WITH EMPLOYEES AND CERTAINLY WITH REGARD TO THESE REVISIONS, THE CONVERSATION REALLY REVOLVES ESSENTIALLY RECRUITING AND RETAINING. AND KIND OF WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT KIND OF ESSENTIALLY HENRICO LOOKING AT THEIR YEARLY MAX CARRYOVER, THAT'S FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, THAT'S OUR OUR LOCAL DIVISION THAT WE MOST CLOSELY ALIGNED TO.

AND WE LOOK CLOSELY AT VIRGINIA BEACH, PRINCE WILLIAM AND LOUDON AND ESSENTIALLY LOOKING AT THESE KIND OF CARRY FORWARD LEAVES, WE FELT LIKE THIS WOULD MAKE US COMPETITIVE.

WE STILL WOULDN'T BE AHEAD OF LIKE A LOUDON OR WE'D BE MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED TO VIRGINIA BEACH OR MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED TO HENRICO AND BE A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN US. AND THEN THE FINANCIAL IMPACT IS ONLY GOING TO BE IF THEY RETIRE.

AND WE HAVE TO PAY OUT THIS ACCUMULATED SICK LEAVE.

RIGHT. BECAUSE IT'S NOT ANY DIFFERENT AND THEY'RE NOT EARNING ADDITIONAL SICK LEAVE.

IT'S JUST THE AMOUNT THEY'RE ALLOWED TO CARRY OVER.

RIGHT. KIND OF THE SAME CONVERSATION YOU'VE HAD BEFORE WITH SRP AND SORT OF FUNDING THAT LIABILITY TO YOU.

YOU LOOK IN GENERAL TERMS AND MISS COKER KNOWS THIS FIRSTHAND.

YOU LOOK IN GENERAL TERMS OF THE NOTION IN A DRAMATIC SENSE OF IF YOU HAD TO PAY OUT AT ANY ONE DAY FOR EVERYTHING, WHAT IS YOUR LIABILITIES AS AN ORGANIZATION, AS YOU KNOW? AND THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT WE WOULD LOOK AT CLOSELY.

BUT WE KNOW THAT LEAVE PAYOUTS ARE STAGGERED BY NATURE OF ATTRITION.

SO IT WOULDN'T BE A ONE TIME HIT TO THE BUDGET OR OPERATING BUDGET ESSENTIALLY.

THANK YOU. YES, MA'AM.

MISS HEFFRON. SO I KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT.

I'M JUST. I KNOW WE'RE NOT.

WE'RE ADDING INCREASING THE AMOUNT OF CARRY OVER TIME.

UM, BUT HOW ARE WE.

HOW ARE WE HANDLING THE MAXIMUM ALLOCATION OR ACCUMULATION? LIKE, HOW IS THAT GOING TO BE HANDLED? CAN AN EMPLOYEE SAY, I MEAN, MOVING FORWARD THAT AN EMPLOYEE IS FACING A CAP TO HIT THE CAP? HOW WOULD WE APPROACH THAT? SO ESSENTIALLY WE HAVE WE HAVE ONE NOW.

AND THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT YOUR POLICY HAS AND REALLY WHAT'S BECOME EMBLEMATIC IS REALLY COMING THROUGH THE PANDEMIC.

AT THAT TIME. CERTAINLY WE HAD THE THE CAP ON MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION AND THAT WAS SET TO OCTOBER 1ST OF EVERY YEAR.

WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE PANDEMIC, CERTAINLY PEOPLE WEREN'T TAKING ANY KIND OF LEAVE.

AND SO WE HAD TWO ESSENTIAL SCENARIOS THAT HAPPENED FROM THERE.

THE FIRST ONE IS WE ALLOWED EMPLOYEES TO MAINTAIN AND WE DID NOT CUT OFF THEIR MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION AND THAT WE'VE DONE THAT ESSENTIALLY TWICE.

AND THAT'S IN LINE WITH WHAT THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT HAS DONE AS WELL.

SO THINKING THAT THROUGH THE THING THAT BECAME APPARENT AT THAT POINT IN TIME, ONE WAS, AS WAS SOME SCHOOL BOARD POLICIES LOOKING BACK AS [INAUDIBLE] FIGURE OUT HOW DO THEY GET OCTOBER 1ST, PAY OUT ESSENTIALLY FOR THE MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION.

WE WANTED TO FIRST OF ALL TO ALIGN THAT MORE CLOSELY WITH THE FISCAL YEAR AT JUNE 30TH.

[01:45:03]

SO IT WOULD BE EFFECTIVE, OBVIOUSLY, UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL YEAR.

SO WE'RE PUTTING THAT IN PLACE.

BUT ESSENTIALLY FROM THE MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION FOR LIKE THE 0 TO 10 YEARS, YOU'RE GOING FROM 288 TO 328.

AND THEN FOR TEN OR MORE YEARS YOU'RE GOING FROM 360 TO 440.

AND SO THAT'S KIND OF THAT WOULD BE KIND OF YOUR MAXIMUM ACCUMULATION.

ESSENTIALLY, AT THE 440, YOU'RE INCREASING 80 HOURS.

AND THEN AT THE 328, THAT'S AN INITIAL 40 HOURS.

AND SO THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHAT WOULD BE LOOKING AT THE CURRENT ASPECT OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.

THANK YOU, MR. SMITH.

THANK YOU. NEXT, WE HAVE MEMO NUMBER 098-23 SCHOOL BOARD COMPENSATION.

[I. Superintendent's Remarks]

DR. DAUGHTERY. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

LAST WEEK, I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE ADULT EDUCATION GRADUATIONS, AND IT IS AMAZING WHAT THE STAFF DOES IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY.

YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, IT'S A LEADER IN THE REGION FOR THE REGISTRATION AND GRADUATES FOR ADULTS.

AND SOMETIMES WE FORGET THAT LIFE DOESN'T END JUST BECAUSE YOU LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL.

AND THERE ARE TIMES THAT LIFE OCCURS AND YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE AND YOU WANT TO COME BACK.

BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA OR EQUIVALENCY IS FAR MORE MEANINGFUL TODAY THAN IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO BECAUSE IT OPENS SO MANY DOORS.

WE TYPICALLY IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN ADULT EDUCATION AND GRADUATES AS HENRICO, RICHMOND, HANOVER, GOOCHLAND, PALATINE, NEW KENT AND CHARLES CITY DO COMBINED.

SO HERE ARE SOME JUST SOME AMAZING NUMBERS.

THIS YEAR WE HAD ADULT WORKERS AND IN CONTINUING EDUCATION, ALMOST 1000 STUDENTS, 982, WE HAD 834 ADULT ESL LEARNERS.

WE HAD 266 GED ADULT LEARNERS, PLUS WE HAD 76 STUDENTS THAT WERE IN THE CHESTERFIELD COUNTY JAIL THAT WE WORKED WITH.

WE HAD OVER 2000 ADULTS BASICALLY THAT WE ALSO EDUCATED.

WHEN YOU JUST THINK ABOUT AS WE EDUCATE OVER ALMOST 65,000 STUDENTS EVERY DAY, THERE'S ANOTHER 2000 INDIVIDUALS THAT WE ARE HELPING BETTER THEIR LIFE AS WELL. SO I JUST WANTED TO TELL THE ADULT EDUCATION TEAM AND REBECCA HARMAN AND HER TEAM WHAT A GREAT JOB THEY DO WORKING IN CCPS FOR THE ADULT LEARNERS THAT WE ONLY THINK IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO GROW BECAUSE OF THE SUCCESS THEY'RE HAVING.

SO THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU, DR. DAUGHTERY.
