secondsJerry hi my name is Jer orbo and together Kaitlin and I had created the idea to make a self-awareness podcast in 23:0423 minutes, 4 secondscoordinance with the aware youth Council I'm Kaitlyn McCormick and we named our podcast Higman hiccups and it is based out of Hickman County High School we 23:1323 minutes, 13 secondswanted to create a podcast to talk about daily issues that every teenager experiences within High School almost everyone experiences bullying or bullies others and some are unaware and feeling 23:2123 minutes, 21 secondsalone we want to spread self-awareness and positivity to help limit this struggle for upcoming teenagers yes and by using programs like Spotify YouTube 23:3023 minutes, 30 secondsInstagram Facebook and maybe even Tik Tok we can share with the community and teenagers everywhere that there are people who recognize this and are here 23:3823 minutes, 38 secondsto help them get help with my experience in video editing and sound production uh and the space provided to us by Miss 23:4523 minutes, 45 secondsRagsdale we're able to work on our podcast after school and make two episodes a month our podcast will not be using anybody's personal information and 23:5423 minutes, 54 secondsif it does we will have signed parent permission forms kept up with reform while doing so we're not using our own names during the podcast either going by 24:0324 minutes, 3 secondsJerry and Vig instead all of our information will be from secured sies on the internet and our counselors at the 24:1024 minutes, 10 secondshigh school as well and we are not giving any direct mental health advice at all we will be working with Miss braxdale and then take our finalized project to the administrators at Hickman 24:1924 minutes, 19 secondsCounty High School Mr bur and Mrs Emerson to be approved before publishing we will take in all of their notes and make as many revisions needed to be 24:2724 minutes, 27 secondspublished all of our all of our work would be done internally with no outside cost to Hickman County and no interference with other schooling or our 24:3524 minutes, 35 secondsown schoolwork as well and it would hopefully become a program we could expand Jerica and I would be putting our own time into getting this done as well 24:4424 minutes, 44 secondsas as well as and would make regular meetings and finishing times for each step of the way we understand that there 24:5124 minutes, 51 secondsmay be some legal issues with this and have already worked up a disclaimer removing Hickman County High School system the aware program and the podcast 25:0025 minutesfrom any liabilities and stating that we are not professionals we think this podcast would be a great addition to Hickman County School Systems and would 25:0825 minutes, 8

banana budding Fest Mr D agre here 32:4132 minutes, 41 secondsspeak thanks for giving me a few minutes tonight I will uh Endeavor to use it efficiently my name is Dave Reed I am 32:4932 minutes, 49 secondswith the national banana pudding festival and the chairman of the board um I'm also by the way a parent of one 32:5732 minutes, 57 secondsof your students I had a daughter graduate from East last year went on to Mississippi State and my son if I get 33:0533 minutes, 5 secondshim off a fortnite he'll graduate next year uh keep our fingers crossed on that one but um the national banana pudding 33:1433 minutes, 14 secondsFestival every October out of the agilan who's been to it before Oh Boy all right a couple who haven't I'm glad glad we I've got some 33:2333 minutes, 23 secondsfellow banana pudding lovers here with me you haven't been out to the Festival before uh it's a great time and it's getting greater and it's getting bigger 33:3333 minutes, 33 secondsuh there's it's two days it's the first weekend in October people come out they buy things from the local vendors they eat at food trucks they listen to music 33:4233 minutes, 42 secondsthey play uh games and they eat a lot of banana pudding and for many years we've gotten lots of five-star reviews online 33:5133 minutes, 51 secondsbut last year a few onear reviews snuck in there and this year we had even a few 33:5833 minutes, 58 secondsmore onear reviews and every one of those onear reviews said the same thing 34:0534 minutes, 5 secondsis that I drove for hours to get here and then once I got close to the ACT 34:1134 minutes, 11 secondsPavilion I waited in a wall of traffic sometimes 2 hours we had some people report three-h hour weights at the 34:1934 minutes, 19 secondstraffic we have just outgrown the AG Pavilion uh and uh we had almost 10,000 34:2734 minutes, 27 secondspeople come through last year it's a big event it's the biggest event in Hitman County it's definitely the biggest nonprofit event because the entire 34:3434 minutes, 34 secondspurpose of the event is to raise money for local nonprofits so a couple weeks ago gosh I 34:4234 minutes, 42 secondsguess it's been I guess it's been four weeks or so the the Hickman County Economic Development board called a meeting and it was really kind of a 34:5134 minutes, 51 secondswho's who that can deal with Transportation issues in our County we had um the county mayor was there the 34:5834 minutes, 58 secondscity mayor was there we had T do was on hand the highway patrol was there Sheriff's Office was there cville PD was there Mr Mullen was there the economic 35:0735 minutes, 7 secondsboard was representative of the economic board was there some of our board members were there and we brainstormed how to solve this traffic problem so 35:1635 minutes, 16 secondsthat our Festival can continue to grow and be a great event for our County and the consensus view out of that meeting 35:2535 minutes, 25 secondswas that the way to do it is to do offsite shuttling so we'd have a parking lot or maybe even more than 35:3235 minutes, 32 secondsone somewhere near the event but far enough out that we can use vehicles to transport big groups of people in and 35:4035 minutes, 40 secondsand alleviate the traffic problem that way so like T dot said hey we'll get you a whole bunch of signs we'll do a good job ring traffic and the highway patrol 35:4935 minutes, 49 secondssaid we'll send guys out there to help and then we trying to figure out where are we going to get transportation and I looked over at Mr M 35:5735 minutes, 57 secondshe looked back at me and and he said he said look I i' support it I'd support using the school buses but it's not my decision you're going to have to come 36:0436 minutes, 4 secondstalk to the board of education so ladies and gentlemen here I am tonight I don't love asking for help but this is a great thing for our County and and we need 36:1236 minutes, 12 secondssome help with the transportation we need um this is the first we weekend in October I don't have final numbers yet we're still exploring things but we'd 36:2136 minutes, 21 secondsneed um maybe up to 15 buses at one time to to get everybody in that's during our peak time other times we need many fewer 36:3036 minutes, 30 secondsyou know maybe four five six that we get a huge crush Saturday morning and then it tapers off dramatically and then Sunday's pretty late so anyway we need 36:3936 minutes, 39 secondsthose we need those buses we're trying to explore our options trying to figure out what's possible for us to do in 2024 to make this and keep this a great 36:4736 minutes, 47 secondsFestival of course we'll we'll pay the drivers uh and hopefully make them excited to be able to do that that 36:5436 minutes, 54 secondsweekend and um if you need to charge just a reasonable rate that's understandable as well I would uh as you 37:0237 minutes, 2 secondsconsider that I would invite you to um just think about our budgeting process 37:0937 minutes, 9 secondswhich is that every penny that we make we take our hard cost out and we give the rest away um we gave away a little 37:1737 minutes, 17 secondsover $75,000 a couple months ago in in people in the county to groups in the county which is awesome so I I'll I'll leave 37:2637 minutes, 26 secondsyou with just uh with one thought I uh I think that the Hitman County School 37:3437 minutes, 34 secondsSystem will get more benefit out of this than the cost of letting us use some 37:4137 minutes, 41 secondsbuses for a weekend and I'll and I'll tell you why four things number one this is a great thing for the county long term we have thousands of people come in 37:5037 minutes, 50 secondsfrom all over the state from all over the country we had over 30 different states visitors from 30 different states like last October here in our County and 37:5937 minutes, 59 secondsthey come and they have a good time and they leave with a great impression of our County and that's a good long-term thing for Hitman County Schools the 38:0738 minutes, 7 secondssecond thing is tax revenue I've heard that some of our restaurants and our gas stations and our stores have their biggest days of the year during the 38:1638 minutes, 16 secondsfestival that's tax revenue and that's good for Hitman County Schools third thing is that all that 38:2338 minutes, 23 secondsmoney we give away some of it comes directly to school organizations uh I wrote a check for hundreds of dollars to the jotc over at 38:3238 minutes, 32 secondsHyman High I wrote a check for several 00 to the Beta Club at hitou high and we wrote a check for several thousand 38:4138 minutes, 41 secondsdollars to miss beam's class over at East The Culinary department they worked hard they moved a lot of pudding that weekend it was fun to be able to write 38:4938 minutes, 49 secondsthem that check and support their program and then the the fourth reason that this is good for Hitman County Schools is that 38:5738 minutes, 57 secondswe had about 50 students from East and from Hitman High put in volunteer hours about 250 volunteer hours over that 39:0639 minutes, 6 secondsweekend and a lot of them got counted toward te and promise for that but even the ones that didn't do te and promise that's your students volunteering 39:1439 minutes, 14 secondsintegrating with the community and that's a good thing for the schools as well so that's my pitch I uh I don't I'm 39:2239 minutes, 22 secondsnot sure where this goes from here but I wanted to share that with you um we're asking for help want to see what's possible and and what it would take to 39:3039 minutes, 30 secondsput that together are are you planning on having it to actan again yes sir where are you going to park everyone that's under consideration right now one 39:3839 minutes, 38 secondsof the one of the Lots that's a candidate is River Park um there are some church parking lots that are also candidates so you 39:4539 minutes, 45 secondsshuttle all the way from River Park so we'd shuttle all the way from River Park wow yeah that's a pretty good way it's decent and the closer we we're also investigating some agricultural land 39:5439 minutes, 54 secondsthat's out right by the ACT Pavilion which would be we need fewer Vehicles if we can get a shorter shorter distance so we're we're looking right now we don't I 40:0240 minutes, 2 secondsdon't have a firm answer on that I know I went to the shrimp fest in uh B Shores this past October and um that's how we 40:1140 minutes, 11 secondswe met at a they shuttled they shuttled with school buses we got on a school bus and they shuttled us down to the how long ride was it you remember 40:2040 minutes, 20 secondswell it was a lot of intent so there was a lot of stop signs and so um it was 40:2840 minutes, 28 secondsprobably 10 10 minutes maybe okay that's not too bad and um you know and then they would run they would just tell us 40:3740 minutes, 37 secondsthey gave us a number and said this is the bus you r on and so look they ran about every 15 minutes so they said when 40:4440 minutes, 44 secondsyou get ready to leave just come to this spot where we dropped you and then look for this bus number so get back on the same bu you came go back to the same go 40:5240 minutes, 52 secondsback to to go back to the same we've been trying to figure all that how do we make to the right you get you you know we 40:5940 minutes, 59 secondsactually had to pay like5 to ride the shuttle to there and so we paid like five bucks um they gave 41:0741 minutes, 7 secondsus a band we got on the school bus you know and then they gave us the the sheet when we got on the bus to say hey this 41:1541 minutes, 15 secondsis the bus you get back on and they said well we'll come about every 15 minutes so you know just whenever you get ready to leave you may have to wait for a 41:2241 minutes, 22 secondslittle bit till we come back around but they're just running the whole you know the whole time I may miss Ma I may I may ask you some more questions about that later on I'd 41:3041 minutes, 30 secondslove to hear more experience about that yeah they've done that for I think they've been doing it for years thank you Mr Reed for being proactive because 41:4041 minutes, 40 secondsthere are some things that we have to do as a board policy uh usage how we're going to use it and all that that we've never approached uh the use of school 41:4941 minutes, 49 secondsbuses in the past and so we'll need to come up with something another policy and and how we're going to accommodate 41:5641 minutes, 56 secondsthat so we may be in contact with you on uh some of the logistics portion of it so so didn't we didn't we you didn't the 42:0542 minutes, 5 secondsplan Festival use one of our buses already they used the van used the van they used the van yeah 15 passenger van this year so from uh so Mr Mullin from 42:1542 minutes, 15 secondsyour point of view like what are the pros and cons the risk Etc of this um I think I think the positive of this is it 42:2442 minutes, 24 secondsit lets us be a good community partner it uh lets us help grow something that brings uh recognition positivity and it 42:3442 minutes, 34 secondslets it and it brings in sales tax revenue which we share sales tax revenue from the county uh the the challenge uh 42:4442 minutes, 44 secondsis to find 15 drivers that are willing to work the the festival happens to be if that's the number that's needed the 42:5142 minutes, 51 secondsfestival happens to be at the beginning of our fall break and uh a lot of our people uh have travel plans during that 42:5942 minutes, 59 secondstime uh Mr gamon uh has researched it and uh we believe that uh to be legally 43:0643 minutes, 6 secondsto be legal we have to um come up with some kind of fee schedule 43:1243 minutes, 12 secondsuh I think we can do that I let's said we've never I've been on the board seven years some of the others have been 43:1943 minutes, 19 secondslonger than but we've never been approached with any usage of buses like that so 43:2643 minutes, 26 secondsif other places in Tennessee are doing it I think we could probably do it we just got to figure out okay the legal Logistics of it and make it happen yes 43:3443 minutes, 34 secondsyou know maybe we charge five bucks maybe I mean I think it's not unreasonable to charge3 you know $2 $3 43:4143 minutes, 41 secondsto get to dir wristpin to get on the bus what I I was going to say actually one of the only complaints I've heard about Bing Festival is it's gotten expensive 43:5043 minutes, 50 secondsokay um it so I would I would say let's make our fee schedule 43:5743 minutes, 57 secondsreasonable yeah so low that they can just do it for free you know what I mean yes that's really giv back right CU then 44:0644 minutes, 6 secondsthen we're and if we have to have a fee just to meet legal requirs to do it but let's make it very very low they're going to have to pay the bus you can you 44:1344 minutes, 13 secondscan do it with maybe not having to charge people because I have it's the only complaint I've ever heard about it is that yeah it keeps getting more expensive and a lot of the locals who 44:2244 minutes, 22 secondslike to go to it if there's a policy tsba have one and we can work it out I think so cool well I I appreciate no 44:3144 minutes, 31 secondsexcuse me and you did a great presentation Mr re and I know that for planning purposes you need an answer sooner than later and so we'll we'll 44:4044 minutes, 40 secondswork on this and try to get uh uh something by January to give you a definitive answer and I appreciate the 44:4944 minutes, 49 secondsfact that you turn around and

secondsplanning for uh board policies and stuff that make sure we're covered all right good and do that Mr mull just be sure 45:2845 minutes, 28 secondsyou bounce this off our attorney and our insurance provider oh we we talk to both 45:3445 minutes, 34 secondswhen we uh L the uh the 15 passenger van uh in this year's Festival but we will revisit both of those 45:4245 minutes, 42 secondsentities just make sure thank you all right thank you Mr re thank you thank you next is school 45:5245 minutes, 52 secondscalendar and there's two of them listed there so I'll turn turn that over to who's taking that lead on that is 46:0246 minutes, 2 secondsthat I will uh Mr Mr Chilton uh had a tremendous uh 46:1046 minutes, 10 secondsrole in this Mr Chon chilon without being asked to do so uh I guess early in September he he sent me a prototype of 46:2046 minutes, 20 secondssome school calendars uh we had a school calendar committee representing each School uh and we uh put two calendars 46:2946 minutes, 29 secondsout to vote uh and uh the calendar this is items item C the calendar was 46:3746 minutes, 37 secondsapproved uh this like 90 it's not 90 90 something percent now we were voting on 46:4446 minutes, 44 secondsa calendar right before Thanksgiving they gave everybody a full week off at Thanksgiving so that could have influenced the votes but uh it was like 46:5346 minutes, 53 seconds94% of the calendar it it based basically replicates this school Year's calendar and U people seem to be content 47:0247 minutes, 2 secondswith the current calendar uh so that that would we we used a very similar process that's been used here in the past had had a calendar 47:1047 minutes, 10 secondscommittee meeting and the calendar was very very well received that's item uh 47:1847 minutes, 18 secondsC so is there a reason why we're doing the next two years though uh well think in the past we've only 47:2647 minutes, 26 secondsdone yes year out correct but uh it it is a trend for school districts I know 47:3347 minutes, 33 secondsthat Dixon County Schools does two years and what the two-year calendars uh does is this it allows parents to schedule 47:4347 minutes, 43 secondstheir time off in a over a longer range of time and it also allows people who 47:5047 minutes, 50 secondstravel to travel at cheaper accommodations uh by giving giving them uh two years in advance this is a 47:5947 minutes, 59 secondspractice that uh previously in my career uh we started going to a two-year calendar is very well received by the 48:0748 minutes, 7 secondspublic and is very well received by people in the school district and it all creates a situation where um you get two 48:1548 minutes, 15 secondsyears worth of calendar work done one time and next year there would not be calendar work to do just takes care of another 48:2348 minutes, 23 secondstask um what happened what happens now is people cannot get their time off to 48:3048 minutes, 30 secondscoincide with our fall break and so uh when we have fall break they can't get off work and then later they said look I'm sorry but I'm off I got to take 48:3848 minutes, 38 secondswe're going to go on a trip so it possibly by doing a two years of calendar could possibly have some positive impact on 48:4648 minutes, 46 secondsattendance I I was thinking that where I thought you were going with it is that we're doing two years this year so that 48:5348 minutes, 53 secondswe're a year ahead and and then every year we would still do one calendar but it would be next year we would approve 49:0049 minuteswe could the calendar this 2627 we could use that approach okay but but it just gives people longer notices about when 49:0749 minutes, 7 secondsthey're when they're supposed to be at work when their children are supposed to be at school uh it it was positive for 49:1449 minutes, 14 secondsus and uh for me and my job in the past we actually the district I came from uh has now gone to doing three years at one 49:2249 minutes, 22 secondstime so I thought two years would be a good step for us this is great you're making everything better that's what we wanted you to do trying buy stuff and 49:3049 minutes, 30 secondsmake it better thank you good job the only problem I have with the two two Calenders is the same things as I had last year at this time and we made a 49:3849 minutes, 38 secondsmotion I made a motion last year uh here's here's a copy of last year's and 49:4549 minutes, 45 secondsit had 10 to four parent teacher conference made a motion to change that from 10: to 6 this new calendar and both 49:5449 minutes, 54 secondsthe new calendars have have nothing in there uh about staying till 6 and making it convenient for parents to to be by uh 50:0450 minutes, 4 secondsand meet after work their work uh we we have uh held one parent teacher 50:1150 minutes, 11 secondsconference and the hours were 10 to 6 so uh if you want to add something to if you want to approve it with the 50:1950 minutes, 19 secondsunderstanding that the parent teacher conference will be 10 to 6 that's perfectly understandable well I mean one of the footnotes says 50:2650 minutes, 26 secondswill be completed on two days from 3:30 to 6:30 that's the spring one that's the spring one it's after school oh okay 50:3450 minutes, 34 secondsyeah but we did the one in October was it October I think it was it was 10 to 6 so we understand the need to do it where 50:4350 minutes, 43 secondsworking parents can attend I make a motion to make both October meeting 10 50:5050 minutes, 50 secondsto 6 it's actually 12 12 to 6 yeah the S hour day 8 hour day yeah the teachers came in 50:5850 minutes, 58 secondsbefore 12 but the actual visitation was from 12: to 6 okay that's what I'm thought okay so you want to revise your 51:0551 minutes, 5 secondsmotion r that was motion last year and what was 51:1151 minutes, 11 secondsuh what was put forth so uh I'd be willing to change it to 12 to 6 cuz you're going to come in before 51:2051 minutes, 20 secondsthat and prepare teachers came in before there were there were some faculty meetings there were some logistical things taken care of but the 51:2851 minutes, 28 secondsactual visitation was 12 to 6 we I'll second have a motion by me and second by 51:3851 minutes, 38 secondsVance on both calendars with the understanding of the parent teacher conference 12 to 6 parent teacher 51:4551 minutes, 45 secondsconference 12 to 6 it's approved with revision to add that detail just add that to both of them right and that is 51:5351 minutes, 53 secondsfor item C Andy and both both of them are basically 52:0052 minutesidentical very good yeah thank y'all Dr Anderson you've got 52:0952 minutes, 9 secondsit so we U we haven't voted she's she's uh taking time to make sure it's typed in 52:1752 minutes, 17 secondsright yeah and we may have to put the motion on both 52:2452 minutes, 24 secondscalendars is that right Dr Anderson for revision yes sir okay we had you got it who made the 52:3152 minutes, 31 secondsmotion who made the second you made the motion and Miss Banker second second all all in favor say I I I any 52:4052 minutes, 40 secondsopposition no opposition motion carries two calendars there to go with 52:4852 minutes, 48 secondsthen yeah I think people enjoyed the full week off at Thanksgiving Emma did you enjoy that did ezy did you enjoy that I think and I think most of the I 52:5752 minutes, 57 secondsthink most of the employees will tell you that that that was a good thing that's like asking someone if they like ice cream 53:0653 minutes, 6 secondswell they did but but and previously we had a Monday and Tuesday and Monday would be a Monday and Tuesday would be a Friday and then attendance was bad 53:1553 minutes, 15 secondsattendance would not be good during those two days so it was a good move it was a good move to do are ready to move on past C and D Mr gam would that make 53:2353 minutes, 23 secondsfor d want the same reion repe yeah just repeat it just wanted to double check 53:3153 minutes, 31 secondsthat we've got motion and second by the same people and on both of them uh the next is item 53:4053 minutes, 40 seconds9e uh talking about computer science classes and their textbook and CTE directors listed 53:4953 minutes, 49 secondsas the speaker on this Mr Joey Jo 53:5953 minutes, 59 secondsuh so also asked uh Kristen d uh ehms computer science teacher uh to be here tonight in case you had any questions 54:0754 minutes, 7 secondsshe could answer Miss Dunn has been the one who for the district has been attending the tboe trainings on this computer science course that has been 54:1654 minutes, 16 secondsmandated by Tennessee state law to go into effect next year uh so as they attend these trainings 54:2454 minutes, 24 secondsthere's a book T has recommended to them there's also a list that Miss Baker has uh provided us from this their site that 54:3254 minutes, 32 secondsthere are other books uh I think this is the one that they've recommended when uh it's done with the training so those are the ones they asked for uh there is an 54:4054 minutes, 40 secondsonline version also uh of this book uh that both Miss Baker and Miss dun found 54:4754 minutes, 47 secondsa link to I've sent an email uh moments ago to ask the publisher if we would uh be unintentionally illegally pirating 54:5554 minutes, 55 secondsthat if we use that or if this was something that came from them that we would be able to use in our classroom so we get an answer to that we'll have that 55:0255 minutes, 2 secondsinformation what I think uh you also have Zach Bentley at hman County Middle School who'll be teaching computer uh that that course there next year and um 55:1255 minutes, 12 secondswhat they've requested is a class set of these books uh the fortunate part of this is that these books are not uh at the same price scale of your normal text 55:2055 minutes, 20 secondsbut these are $1 a piece uh this I think the price may be on here somewh here so this is coming straight from Amon so 55:2855 minutes, 28 secondsabout $659 or so for a class set of 30 for East signman Middle School and for hman County Middle School uh so that's 55:3755 minutes, 37 secondswhat's on the agenda tonight we're happy to take any questions Mr Chon does does this not fall under textbook approvals 55:4455 minutes, 44 secondsand textbook uh uh although you're handling it from the CTE standpoint so so Angie should be 55:5355 minutes, 53 secondsinvolved in this from text standpoint yeah Miss Manor has been copied on all these emails and uh has been a resource 56:0056 minutesto us and uh so I think we're in a situation where Department of Education uh has been uh legislated to do 56:0956 minutes, 9 secondssomething and they weren't sure how to do it they're doing the best they can and they're pushing things out kind of so we're a little bit behind because of them and every the just the transpiring 56:1856 minutes, 18 secondsof everything so uh these textbooks going to be good for five years uh I hope so uh as Miss Baker pointed out uh 56:2756 minutes, 27 secondsthey're already already they're already 3 years old which is concerning uh but this is a this is a computer Basics 101 56:3556 minutes, 35 secondscourse part of the course is even if you look at the book I have a copy in the office if anybody wants to see it uh and I can share the link that Miss Baker shared also for the online version if 56:4356 minutes, 43 secondsyou'd like uh part of That's History part of its basic computer hardware software uh some coding Basics things 56:5156 minutes, 51 secondslike that uh so it's a real 101 computer course uh so we hope it goes five years uh the 56:5856 minutes, 58 secondsway things have been coming from toe over the last year concerning this law uh I don't know what they will say next because we've gotten this very peac 57:0757 minutes, 7 secondsmiled out this information so it's a good question how about the ability oh sorry of the the public to review 57:1457 minutes, 14 secondstextbooks that's been bypassed right uh we we are happy to put it out there and go through that maybe some way to put it 57:2257 minutes, 22 secondsout there and put it intentional use since it is digital that ought be easy to do 57:2857 minutes, 28 secondsmaybe yeah is it does it not say so you're we're teaching this now in middle school right is that the the the 57:3657 minutes, 36 secondscomputer it's got to go from elementary through high school next year I thought say it seems like it's a little late at 57:4357 minutes, 43 secondsmiddle school now with the children are so techsavvy time they get to Middle 57:5057 minutes, 50 secondsSchool it's see you're saying it's one basic stuff it see like we should be back doing that maybe in the 57:5857 minutes, 58 secondsintermediate level or something or I don't what grade what grade in Middle School does it take place 67 and 8 67 so 58:0558 minutes, 5 secondsit seems I just me I just uh thinking it seems like now that if speci is basic is that but that's what they the tdo the co 58:1458 minutes, 14 secondsthe coding aspect of it is not basic no it's not basic it's not basic at all the first part of the book is just basically telling them what a computer is how to 58:2358 minutes, 23 secondsuse it all that then it gets into the coding part of which is not basic but like I was telling them it's pretty much 58:3158 minutes, 31 secondsoutdated because they I can do all of it so the Department of Education is behind on this yeah just seems like the this I 58:3958 minutes, 39 secondsdon't know this seems like children now they tell I get the middle school they they they understand a lot about computers yeah yeah that's a good 58:4758 minutes, 47 secondsquestion and I think Miss papers right on as far as U this the content in the book not being uh this is not elementary 58:5558 minutes, 55 secondsschool or even K5 material this is uh about you said basic Bic things uh 59:0559 minutes, 5 secondsso there are K through2 standards uh if you look at the K through five portion of it and Kristen can speak order of that and I can show you that link to the 59:1259 minutes, 12 secondsstandards too K5 standards are very much about uh getting students uh acquainted with vocabulary getting them acquainted 59:2059 minutes, 20 secondswith problem solving techniques and then that leads into the use of Compu question are two student Representatives 59:2859 minutes, 28 secondsdo you have any questions about it because it is I mean it's for you been Middle School any 59:3659 minutes, 36 secondsthoughts I do not have any right now okay thank you but the book aligns with the Middle School standards the 59:4459 minutes, 44 secondsstate the state of Tennessee adopted uh standards and the book aligns with the Middle School stand anybody can look at 59:5059 minutes, 50 secondsthose they're out there so yeah uh so because it is a text book you're asking for our approve or a motion and approval 59:5959 minutes, 59 secondsand all that right so I need a motion to approve these I mean just says the funds are AA it's also the funds are available the funds are theree yeah because it is 1:00:081 hour, 8 secondsa textbook and we approved textbooks I think yeah that's what I was going to ask so if it's $600 why are we even approving that well because it's a 1:00:151 hour, 15 secondstextbook that's the only thing I would say Okay I I mean just preliminary let's just go ahead and make a 1:00:211 hour, 21 secondsmotion well are we are you ready to go in compliant with all of the taxt quook policy with this 1:00:291 hour, 29 secondsthis feels like we're going a little out of yeah we we are but we're trying to be appr ready for January right they they have a letter from the publisher that 1:00:371 hour, 37 secondsthere's no critical race Theory right no I mean yeah motion to proceed on is with 1:00:431 hour, 43 secondsthe what I would go with because thanks to the state they're a little bit behind we're a little bit behind and do we have 1:00:511 hour, 51 secondsto put that in for 5 years the textbook no because we don't know that the state won't come in and change them 1:01:001 hour, 1 minute$600 I mean this is like the cheapest Tech something may OCC we get like $100,000 on i' just like to 1:01:091 hour, 1 minute, 9 secondsgive permission to go on with the textbook and so they're ready in January so I'll make a motion to proceed on with 1:01:161 hour, 1 minute, 16 secondsthe purchase of the um the textbook I second that motion got a motion by me okay uh roll 1:01:261 hour, 1 minute, 26 secondscall vote spending money Mr yes Mr hops is abent Mr Hudson yes Mr Lane yes Miss 1:01:331 hour, 1 minute, 33 secondsMay yes Mr Willis yes Miss Baker yes thank you thank 1:01:401 hour, 1 minute, 40 secondsyou Carri thank you Mr CH thank you Mr CH uh the next 1:01:491 hour, 1 minute, 49 secondsis the resistance fil no no 1:01:561 hour, 1 minute, 56 secondsJanuary sorry ahead EP in your packet you have a copy of uh 1:02:061 hour, 2 minutes, 6 secondsthe community eligibility provision CB C for short monthly Federal reimbursement 1:02:141 hour, 2 minutes, 14 secondsestimator that Aaron and her State consultant work together to uh put uh or 1:02:211 hour, 2 minutes, 21 secondsput together uh about the week before we went on Thanksgiving break may maybe the week before that uh 1:02:301 hour, 2 minutes, 30 secondsbasically there's been some changes and I we can go through this line by line or we can get give the condensed version uh 1:02:371 hour, 2 minutes, 37 secondscondensed version some of the changes that has happened uh in October uh it was approved um that the 1:02:471 hour, 2 minutes, 47 secondsthreshold for meeting C eligibility went from 40% to 1:02:551 hour, 2 minutes, 55 seconds25% also uh during this same time this year the state has given the school 1:03:031 hour, 3 minutes, 3 secondssystem the ability to identify students who are on ten care which is the state of Tennessee's form of Medicaid and to 1:03:121 hour, 3 minutes, 12 secondsadd those them into the percentage uh of students identified uh that took our percentage 1:03:201 hour, 3 minutes, 20 secondsand if you'll look in that first where it says step one you'll see some calculations there where it you enter 1:03:271 hour, 3 minutes, 27 secondsthe number of identified students the total student enrollment that is not actually our student enrollment it is 1:03:341 hour, 3 minutes, 34 secondsour average highest daily participation during the month of October and with that percentage we were 1:03:421 hour, 3 minutes, 42 secondsat a percentage of 54.2 4% that would meet a free lunch um 1:03:511 hour, 3 minutes, 51 secondsreimbursement with that uh we're allowed to use a multiplier of 1.6 as we look at 1:03:591 hour, 3 minutes, 59 secondsuh the effectiveness of this plan by using that 1.6 multiplier if we were to 1:04:061 hour, 4 minutes, 6 secondsgo on this plan 8678 of our Mills would be reimbursed at 1:04:131 hour, 4 minutes, 13 secondsthe federal rate Federal free rate excuse me and 13.22% of our Mills would be uh 1:04:221 hour, 4 minutes, 22 secondsreimbursed at the Federal payre rate all students would be receiving free Mills uh and so there is not that mid tier 1:04:311 hour, 4 minutes, 31 secondsreimbursement rate that is in there also as they compared prior year October when 1:04:371 hour, 4 minutes, 37 secondswe were on the program and to this year's October they uh identified that 1:04:451 hour, 4 minutes, 45 secondsand they went a little bit on the lower side on here because anytime you're looking at Revenue you want to make sure you're conservative and you look at 1:04:521 hour, 4 minutes, 52 secondsexpenditures you want to make sure you're on the high side as far as your estimates uh but they estimated on the 1:05:001 hour, 5 minuteslow side that we would have based on prior history that we would have an increase participation rate for lunch of 1:05:071 hour, 5 minutes, 7 secondsabout 10% and an increase participation rate for directus at about 7% all of that being said when we go 1:05:161 hour, 5 minutes, 16 secondsover to the right side down at the bottom of this page by taking those reimbursement rates the participation 1:05:231 hour, 5 minutes, 23 secondsratees increased participation rate we would be looking at approximately an increased Revenue difference per month 1:05:311 hour, 5 minutes, 31 secondsof about $52,000 um we would estimate somewhere 1:05:371 hour, 5 minutes, 37 secondsbetween 10 and 15% on our food and um 1:05:441 hour, 5 minutes, 44 secondssupplies increase and that would be about 15,000 on a high end it could be on 20,000 per month we would not need 1:05:531 hour, 5 minutes, 53 secondspersonnel increase at this point in time so even with the high end of about 20,000 more expenditures per month you're still looking at about 1:06:021 hour, 6 minutes, 2 seconds$32,000 increased Revenue if we would so choose to do this that's the condens version so so 1:06:121 hour, 6 minutes, 12 secondsI'll condens it even more due to some changes which the main change is people 1:06:191 hour, 6 minutes, 19 secondson Medicaid now can be directly certified as free and reduced lunch for the next four years every child can 1:06:271 hour, 6 minutes, 27 secondseat every meal free and we will uh and we will generate approximately 1:06:351 hour, 6 minutes, 35 seconds$30,000 additional Revenue in the lunchroom program each month so this is a very very uh very very positive step 1:06:451 hour, 6 minutes, 45 secondsfor our school district it's three and a half years three yeah cuz this year this year's halfway year first time to do a 1:06:531 hour, 6 minutes, 53 secondshalf year to requalifying 3 and A2 years so what's the 52,000 that's that's how based on the projections the 1:07:011 hour, 7 minutes, 1 secondgentleman came here um Miss Miss Burns has worked very hard on this and Mr Elin spent about an two hours or an hour I 1:07:101 hour, 7 minutes, 10 secondsspent that time with the man also that that is the additional gross increase in 1:07:161 hour, 7 minutes, 16 secondsRevenue the 52 is how how per month however with more people eating we're 1:07:241 hour, 7 minutes, 24 secondsgoing to have more food cost and more supply cost like paper plates uh plastic 1:07:301 hour, 7 minutes, 30 secondswear so we will net we believe about $30,000 per per month for the next three 1:07:371 hour, 7 minutes, 37 secondsand a half years and every child can eat every meal breakfast and lunch free is there any negative 1:07:461 hour, 7 minutes, 46 secondsnone I know I'm just I'm looking for the catch perc R goes down we would still be 1:07:541 hour, 7 minutes, 54 secondsat this 86.7 eight% for those three and a half years if our percentage rate goes up then we're able to reapply for that 1:08:021 hour, 8 minutes, 2 secondshigher it's a wonderful thing and and while I'm here I mean this s excuse me um last week schaer Plumbing in Bon Aqua 1:08:101 hour, 8 minutes, 10 secondspaid the complete balance for every child at the four East Hickman schools paid it off which is a per which is a 1:08:191 hour, 8 minutes, 19 secondsperfect time for us because uh if we cannot make this transition to January 5th but we we will no no longer incur 1:08:281 hour, 8 minutes, 28 secondsthose balances that are incumbent upon the schools or and are cumbent upon uh Goodwill from the community to pay those 1:08:351 hour, 8 minutes, 35 secondsoff so this is a it's a really positive step for us as a school district now Vance would be a good time if you still 1:08:411 hour, 8 minutes, 41 secondswant to bring up yeah the behind money right and is this what is this what's in 1:08:481 hour, 8 minutes, 48 secondsthis report here the negative it's called student negative balance is this what you're saying that a entity paid 1:08:551 hour, 8 minutes, 55 secondsoff for pling for the four East schools four East East Elementary East Intermediate East midle and East High so 1:09:051 hour, 9 minutes, 5 secondsum what I what I saw when I looked at this was a total of $7,000 that was owed 1:09:111 hour, 9 minutes, 11 secondsright right um and I don't see any reason why we wouldn't just forgive 1:09:181 hour, 9 minutes, 18 secondsthat I'd like to just I'd like to just forgive that debt uh I mean this is people paying for food in 1:09:271 hour, 9 minutes, 27 secondsschool sure we can can we forgive it not we service funds no with food service 1:09:341 hour, 9 minutes, 34 secondsfunds no let's scho F let's just let it let it ride until the end to to the to 1:09:411 hour, 9 minutes, 41 secondsthe credit of the Food Service program the debt was $99,000 last month approximately and they got people to pay 2,000 but now 1:09:501 hour, 9 minutes, 50 secondsschaer has paid off all the East so that number has gone down yeah today it's 3,000 3,000 it it will probably keep 1:09:571 hour, 9 minutes, 57 secondsshrinking hopefully it will so but anyway we so that so it's not an option for us to pay it I think I think 1:10:051 hour, 10 minutes, 5 secondsthe my suggestion is when we return to school in January 5th for the next three and a half years every child will eat 1:10:131 hour, 10 minutes, 13 secondsevery meal free I think at that point in time we can look and see what the debt is you can pay the debt with local funds 1:10:211 hour, 10 minutes, 21 secondsyeah you can pay it and I and I think I don't see what yeah so let's if you are willing to wait until we can see what the debt is and we can address that at 1:10:301 hour, 10 minutes, 30 secondsthe January board meeting and then that way we know that we have no debt and every child can e every meal free for the next start out at zero in January 1:10:391 hour, 10 minutes, 39 secondsjust it all yes and because last year churches contributed Community groups individuals contributed and uh we we 1:10:481 hour, 10

minutes, 12 secondsFriday morning I didn't have a chance to make you a summary for that on Friday but you did you did kind of with the email you 1:12:201 hour, 12 minutes, 20 secondssent me I've got uh does that kind of summarize it it does yes sir yeah that uh well that's 1:12:271 hour, 12 minutes, 27 secondsthat's the summary for uh just one company yeah one company which and and you're going to go ahead and explain this was my recommendation for um for 1:12:371 hour, 12 minutes, 37 secondsthe window film uh if you look through there you would see that ADT had the lowest bid at 1:12:441 hour, 12 minutes, 44 seconds1050 but at 1050 a square foot but they were um they were using a subcontractor 1:12:501 hour, 12 minutes, 50 secondsthat they didn't list in their paperwork um they did 1:12:571 hour, 12 minutes, 57 secondsnot they it really wasn't a 1050 per square foot price because I called talk to them to ask them what film they were 1:13:051 hour, 13 minutes, 5 secondsusing and they told me that there were uh limits to how low they would go 1:13:131 hour, 13 minutes, 13 secondsin that price so like some of the schools such as Let Me In other words the $730 one was 1:13:211 hour, 13 minutes, 21 secondsactually going to be a minimum of a thousand correct yeah um like at East Middle CIS and Hickman middle and CES 1:13:301 hour, 13 minutes, 30 secondsthey had minimums of over $1,000 which would make their square footage price more than the 1050 um so I I just didn't feel good 1:13:391 hour, 13 minutes, 39 secondsabout how that was put into the bid and I discussed with some law 1:13:461 hour, 13 minutes, 46 secondsenforcement uh Brandon Bryant he is our homeland security uh officer uh 1:13:541 hour, 13 minutes, 54 secondsBrandon McCauley he's a trooper with thp and chief Irwin locally and they all they're a recommendation was if we had 1:14:021 hour, 14 minutes, 2 secondsthe funds A available uh to purchase three so um the lowest of the three was 1:14:101 hour, 14 minutes, 10 secondsNational glazing solutions for NGS at 1475 a square foot for bid item one and 1:14:191 hour, 14 minutes, 19 secondsbid item two at 1550 a square foot um and this would be used uh the funds used for bid item one which is the 1:14:271 hour, 14 minutes, 27 secondsentry ways would be come from safety funds and bid item two would come from Esra funds as part of the the window and 1:14:351 hour, 14 minutes, 35 secondsdoor project so so what say what do you mean by safety funds we get money from the state for safety to spend on safety 1:14:431 hour, 14 minutes, 43 secondsfor the schools after the tragedy in Nashville they not not in our budget no it is in our budget it is in our budget 1:14:511 hour, 14 minutes, 51 secondswe have but that we have the money yeah it's a line item from the state that occurred after okay they've given us money to do 1:15:001 hour, 15 minutesthis okay each each district got money so um I think that was and with the nggs 1:15:091 hour, 15 minutes, 9 secondsbecause they're such a big provider of 3M um they do get an extra two years of warranty which makes it a 16year 1:15:171 hour, 15 minutes, 17 secondswarranty uh because of the quantity of product that they sell and install and and they also had one called 1:15:241 hour, 15 minutes, 24 secondssolar guard and I did call and asked them about what was the main difference and they said it was in the in the 1:15:321 hour, 15 minutes, 32 secondsmanufacturing of the of the film and they felt that 3M I mean this is coming from a Salesman though a 3M product the 1:15:391 hour, 15 minutes, 39 secondsway it's made is a superior product to the solar guard and one other thing they brought up with that 3M is the only 1:15:481 hour, 15 minutes, 48 secondscompany that makes the film and the adhesive uh to work together everybody 1:15:551 hour, 15 minutes, 55 secondselse makes the film and then purchases adhesive separately uh and just to explain adhesive a little bit they have to they put on the film like they do 1:16:031 hour, 16 minutes, 3 secondswindow ENT they have to let it dry out for two weeks or so and then they come back with a real thick silicone that 1:16:111 hour, 16 minutes, 11 secondsgoes around the edge and and that silicone for three them is made to work they're better than than other products 1:16:201 hour, 16 minutes, 20 secondsso to me it it it kind of between the added warranty and the I'm 1:16:261 hour, 16 minutes, 26 secondsjust not real sure about the is it transparent it's clear it's clear so you really can't tell it's clear yeah I 1:16:341 hour, 16 minutes, 34 secondsthink I think it's 6 mm eight 8 mm um 8 mm the th thi of the veils they 1:16:441 hour, 16 minutes, 44 secondscall it eight it's eight Ms all right 8 which is 08 1:16:511 hour, 16 minutes, 51 secondsyeah but that was the not yeah that's that's kind of the the middle grade I think it you can get it 1:16:581 hour, 16 minutes, 58 secondsas thin as formal um so our law enforcement professionals though who are 1:17:071 hour, 17 minutes, 7 secondsknowledgeable of this stuff have made the recommendation of 3 in sir 1:17:151 hour, 17 minutes, 15 secondsquestion by the look of the bids is this just on the doors and the windows that have been replaced and not all doors 1:17:231 hour, 17 minutes, 23 secondswindow correct correct okay so as we replace stuff we have to put the film on it but and and and this being part of 1:17:311 hour, 17 minutes, 31 secondsthe being part of an Esser project um because the state made it a a state law that's why Esser can go on and pay for 1:17:391 hour, 17 minutes, 39 secondsthis part of okay I didn't know if the law said that you just had to put it on the ones that you remodeled or if you 1:17:471 hour, 17 minutes, 47 secondshad to do every no it's just it's only on new builds and Replacements right now okay and so they're not making you do it on on everything at all yeah cuz I 1:17:551 hour, 17 minutes, 55 secondsthought that was like some somebody had puted a figure of like a million dollars but I think that may have been the due last year what somebody was 1:18:041 hour, 18 minutes, 4 secondstalking that every window and every door in every building maybe and that was when our first es it was $92 a square 1:18:101 hour, 18 minutes, 10 secondsfoot oh right the wow big 1:18:181 hour, 18 minutes, 18 secondsdiffer good thing we made all 1:18:251 hour, 18 minutes, 25 secondsright I've got it laid out so it covers uh the motion to approve the national glazing solution contract for bid item 1:18:341 hour, 18 minutes, 34 secondsone at 14475 I think that's what you said per square foot not to exceed 15,000 reason that we upped it a little 1:18:421 hour, 18 minutes, 42 secondsbit was in case there gives them a little leeway because it is by square foot in case uh and we've got the money 1:18:501 hour, 18 minutes, 50 secondsthere to do that and be it item number two at450 per square foot not to exceed 1:18:561 hour, 18 minutes, 56 seconds75,000 uh on the whole thing so that's total of and I don't expect it to exceed 1:19:031 hour, 19 minutes, 3 secondsum on bid on to Mid 60s I think with you look at the letters that you email that you sent me that that should uh it was 1:19:121 hour, 19 minutes, 12 secondsshould give enough little factor in there to to count for the just in just in case because when I sent it to them I sent them just the drawings that we were 1:19:201 hour, 19 minutes, 20 secondshad and so I just wanted to make sure they did forget a window somewhere or a batch of windows so it should should covered yeah 1:19:291 hour, 19 minutes, 29 secondsso I made a motion anybody second then I'll second Miss Baker 1:19:361 hour, 19 minutes, 36 secondsseconded roll call vote

I think it's we can have a meeting we set up a meeting and we can put in it voting if we want to if 1:34:561 hour, 34 minutes, 56 secondswe're going to vote on stuff but the uh the idea is for the budget and that's mostly what happens about that time of 1:35:031 hour, 35 minutes, 3 secondsthe year is this is what we want to see and what you're saying maybe is we might need to vote on something to make it 1:35:101 hour, 35 minutes, 10 secondsconcrete so we know what we're going to do no I actually saying let's not have it a voting I'm saying let's have it as a work session where where there's not a 1:35:181 hour, 35 minutes, 18 secondsspecific agenda so we can talk about what we can really just anybody can talk about anything it's a little more relaxed that's my opinion on 1:35:261 hour, 35 minutes, 26 secondsit sounds reasonable to me sounds reasonable sounds good since we've eliminated the work session right we don't have those work sessions where you 1:35:331 hour, 35 minutes, 33 secondsknow we kick our feet upon the and stuff I think I think the elimination of the work session was a good move by the bo I 1:35:411 hour, 35 minutes, 41 secondsthink from my perspective it wouldn't hurt but having it the retreat is would be good good place to have it I think that's appropriate okay that sounds good 1:35:491 hour, 35 minutes, 49 secondsto me now now it in the past we used to have like half a day long work I mean we've done them border Tree on a 1:35:571 hour, 35 minutes, 57 secondsSaturday yeah on that's the way we've done it Mike and I were talking about how much stuff needs to be presented and 1:36:041 hour, 36 minutes, 4 secondscovered and all that which he's already I think looking at that and things that we're going to need to know so then I would say all the board 1:36:131 hour, 36 minutes, 13 secondsmembers if there's anything specific thing you want to bring up I've got a few things in mind that I want to bring up so if there 1:36:211 hour, 36 minutes, 21 secondssomething that you know you don't want to bring up you want to talk about bounce it off the rest of the board that's a good time to 1:36:271 hour, 36 minutes, 27 secondsdo it could requested in an agenda uh so we can add it on the agenda this is what you want to see yeah yeah yep yeah I 1:36:361 hour, 36 minutes, 36 secondsmean and and you can at a work session you bring Stu it's not on agenda I mean you can just talk about anything well we can just put the word budget and we're 1:36:421 hour, 36 minutes, 42 secondstalking about the budget yeah all right uh I'd like to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from 1:36:501 hour, 36 minutes, 50 secondsevery everybody uh everybody that on the board here we'd like to wish the teachers the 1:36:581 hour, 36 minutes, 58 secondsthe audience that's out there all the parents and teachers and hopefully you come back uh safely next year 1:37:051 hour, 37 minutes, 5 secondsand then this I have an announcement it's kind of anticlimactic after that 1:37:111 hour, 37 minutes, 11 secondsbut uh we uh we have a title n uh issue 1:37:171 hour, 37 minutes, 17 secondsthat Mr maloian has uh very adep taken through the whole process and I have made the decision and we have sent 1:37:261 hour, 37 minutes, 26 secondsthe decision to the parents there is a chance that that parent could ask for a uh hearing uh so we have to have a 1:37:341 hour, 37 minutes, 34 secondshearing officer there is a list of hearing officers for us to choose from we can't use our attorney because we 1:37:411 hour, 37 minutes, 41 secondsleaned on our attorney in the process so the the attorney presented us a list and Deborah Owens who was our former 1:37:501 hour, 37 minutes, 50 secondsattorney was on the list list so if we hope that it doesn't go to a hearing but if it does we're going to use Deborah 1:37:571 hour, 37 minutes, 57 secondsOwens as our hearing officer and I I just needed to let the board uh make me aware of that because it's a little bit 1:38:051 hour, 38 minutes, 5 secondsunusual but it that's where we are with it okay do you want any other comments for your 1:38:141 hour, 38 minutes, 14 secondscomment comments yeah um thank you um 1:38:221 hour, 38 minutes, 22 secondsuh John sent some information remember we talked about uh spending threshold before so John thank you for getting us some information it looks like right now 1:38:301 hour, 38 minutes, 30 secondsfrom the analysis and everything the current spending threshold for the director of schools is 25,000 yes anything over 25,000 has to be 1:38:381 hour, 38 minutes, 38 secondsadvertised and bid bid advertised and approved by the board and in budget or 1:38:451 hour, 38 minutes, 45 secondsnot in budget if it's 25,000 and enough it comes to the board absolutely and then um if it's out of budget it's out 1:38:531 hour, 38 minutes, 53 secondsof budget has anyway um so what I'd like to do because I feel like we had to like do get a legal analysis done we had to 1:39:011 hour, 39 minutes, 1 seconddo a bunch of homework at the next meeting or one of the next meetings coming up I'm going to propose revision to one of those policies to just put 1:39:091 hour, 39 minutes, 9 secondsthat in there so my question to you all is is 25 25,000 is our is our 1:39:151 hour, 39 minutes, 15 secondscurrent threshold County's threshold it's that's what we've adopted so we can't go higher than 1:39:231 hour, 39 minutes, 23 secondsthat but if we chose to if the board wanted to like let's say we as a board hey we want to be aware of all spending 1:39:311 hour, 39 minutes, 31 secondsover $15,000 or some other number right um we could choose to do that 1:39:411 hour, 39 minutes, 41 secondsso I don't know that I even have an opinion I hav't even go to a whole bunch of thought I thought it was to be honest with you when we headed into that whole 1:39:501 hour, 39 minutes, 50 secondsquestion I thought it was $10,000 I thought this the threshold was $10,000 I think the threshold formerly was it used to be$ 1:39:581 hour, 39 minutes, 58 seconds10,000 and then it changed uh I believe the law changed uh you got the the 1:40:071 hour, 40 minutes, 7 secondsCounty's outline on it it's dated three March of 2022 that was the time that it got 1:40:141 hour, 40 minutes, 14 secondschanged from the 10,000 to the 25,000 I think from all the research I've done on so at one time it was that away we had 1:40:211 hour, 40 minutes, 21 secondssome long discussions on it way back I believe in March of 22 about that or we had some discussions in this uh in these 1:40:301 hour, 40 minutes, 30 secondsmeetings here but uh yeah what what you're talking about so I guess my thought is but why don't we said it at 1:40:371 hour, 40 minutes, 37 seconds10 any reason not to set it at 10 why why would we say why would we lower it to 25 10 what's the purpose of it uh we 1:40:451 hour, 40 minutes, 45 secondshave a new director uh who is not experienced in Tennesseee state operations and I think the more involved 1:40:541 hour, 40 minutes, 54 secondsthe board is on spending a lot of money the better that's one reason um another reason is that we're ultimately all 1:41:031 hour, 41 minutes, 3 secondsresponsible for all the spending the board is ultimately responsible for all the spending so even if we delegate it to a director we're still responsible so 1:41:121 hour, 41 minutes, 12 secondsthe the public and all of people who I represent you all represent expect us to be the ones to make sure that money gets 1:41:191 hour, 41 minutes, 19 secondsspent righted so it used to be 10 so why would it not be 10 I've given you a couple why why did they go from why did they raise it 1:41:281 hour, 41 minutes, 28 secondsfor do you know John right off hand I don't know why they raised it other than 1:41:331 hour, 41 minutes, 33 secondsthe there are some some where the population uh drives the amount of 1:41:411 hour, 41 minutes, 41 secondsspending uh 43,000 I believe one it comes to mind there yeah Mike Mike it was actually put I don't know the exact 1:41:481 hour, 41 minutes, 48 secondsdate in the legislature but several years ago it was given the ability for counties to adjust to 1:41:571 hour, 41 minutes, 57 seconds$25,000 that wasn't just done in March of 22 the county and Hickman County government decided in March of 22 to 1:42:061 hour, 42 minutes, 6 secondsfinally go to that threshold because of the amount of work and and the change in the dollar amounts that are involved in 1:42:131 hour, 42 minutes, 13 secondsthat but it had been I can't give you an exact date but I know when I first started in here in 1:42:221 hour, 42 minutes, 22 seconds2016 what was in law was that counties could go to 25,000 on that threshold and that had been in there before that 1:42:301 hour, 42 minutes, 30 secondsbecause we had talked as a board had talked with the county about the possibility of that I was thinking as a board though we didn't change that until 1:42:391 hour, 42 minutes, 39 seconds22 yeah no you did not I'm saying in state law and had been for I I CH I believe if you really want to check back 1:42:471 hour, 42 minutes, 47 secondsin the history of it it's in uh it's in the law BS of when all of that stuff changed uh not that it's relevant but uh 1:42:561 hour, 42 minutes, 56 secondsI mean if if nobody feels strongly about it I mean I don't want to bring a policy that we don't we don't all agree on that's why that's why I'm kind of asking 1:43:041 hour, 43 minutes, 4 secondsI put 25 on there if everybody thinks 25 is the right number throw out what what does everybody think what do you think 1:43:101 hour, 43 minutes, 10 secondsthink the with the prer with the pricer things you know that's probably what caused it to govern I mean everything is 1:43:171 hour, 43 minutes, 17 secondsso much that's probably what caused it the inflation is not 250% right so 10,000 to 25,000 that's a 1:43:261 hour, 43 minutes, 26 secondsthat's a big jump in in responsibility right I mean I do I went up through the ranks and when I was went through 1:43:341 hour, 43 minutes, 34 secondsmanagement and I was at a management level spend up to $1,000 then I got promoted oh you can spend $5,000 it 1:43:421 hour, 43 minutes, 42 secondsnever went 2 and a5x over that you know what I mean I mean that's a big change is all I'm saying I used to be more 1:43:491 hour, 43 minutes, 49 secondslyric especially you know po John got here about how much where it was going and all that even back when I was a 1:43:571 hour, 43 minutes, 57 secondsteacher from seeing the process and the checks and balances between Crystal's office and finance 1:44:051 hour, 44 minutes, 5 secondsover there shoot I don't think there going to be any misappropriate spending I mean I feel comfortable at this point 1:44:131 hour, 44 minutes, 13 secondsin time that uh it it's a it's appropriate and uh authorized and and 1:44:201 hour, 44 minutes, 20 secondsthat so so what's your number let me let me let me what's your threshold what do you want from policy I don't have a 1:44:281 hour, 44 minutes, 28 secondsproblem with the 25,000 cuz that's that's not much really that's not much in this thing that's fine you 2 2 Jim 1:44:351 hour, 44 minutes, 35 secondsyou got a number let me say this before uh the bo the board the board approves every purchase over 25,000 you approve 1:44:451 hour, 44 minutes, 45 secondsit it wouldn't be in the budget if you hadn't approved it that's the first thing and then if it's out of the budget 1:44:521 hour, 44 minutes, 52 secondsit has to come to the board so the board as it currently is written has the final say whether it makes the budget or 1:45:011 hour, 45 minutes, 1 secondwhether it it's an item that's outside the budget that's that special permission it doesn't matter 1:45:091 hour, 45 minutes, 9 secondsuh the lower you make it the more uh laborious it is for us to advertise 1:45:181 hour, 45 minutes, 18 secondsfor bids and open no no no I'm not saying that has to be advertised for bids so let's say let's say it's 10,000 doesn't mean it have to be advertised 1:45:251 hour, 45 minutes, 25 secondsfor bids it just means it has to go to board has to get R and the board so like I said it it was 10 now 1:45:351 hour, 45 minutes, 35 secondsit's 25 so Jim you got any thoughts on I mean I have problem5 okay 1:45:431 hour, 45 minutes, 43 secondsevery the check register which I know you guys never seen we get that every month you get it every month okay and it 1:45:501 hour, 45 minutes, 50 secondstells you the expenditures and whenever it's a line item number like 141 D 11 1:46:001 hour, 46 minutes140 they can't take the money out and spend it unless it applies to something that we've already 1:46:061 hour, 46 minutes, 6 secondsapproved and these and you can look at them some of them look high but then if you go look at uh We've approved the 1:46:141 hour, 46 minutes, 14 secondscontract contract's been approved especially I I watch the the amount that's spent on these that's why that 1:46:221 hour, 46 minutes, 22 secondsCrystal started giving them to me and like I said I am confident in the process are there any in that list 1:46:291 hour, 46 minutes, 29 secondsbecause I haven't looked at it they this list is there any of that list that would have driven an approval if the threshold were below oh let's see the 1:46:381 hour, 46 minutes, 38 secondsones that I just signed today which will be on the next there's an Amazon these are nothing higher than 1:46:461 hour, 46 minutes, 46 seconds$1,048 uh $4,997 from Walmart which is usually supplies for I would say Christmas stuff 1:46:541 hour, 46 minutes, 54 secondsright for kids no oh maybe there's some Christmas things that were bought with uh and they would have been out of I'd 1:47:021 hour, 47 minutes, 2 secondshave to look at the cash account number which I do that sometimes but do we have any other any over 10 even in there 1:47:101 hour, 47 minutes, 10 secondsnot if we didn't have to pay uh uh the Hickman County trustee we'd be doing in 1:47:161 hour, 47 minutes, 16 secondsgood shape as I but that's usually where large amounts are unless it's a contract 1:47:231 hour, 47 minutes, 23 secondswith something that we've we've seen uh blank and ship CPA did did we just not mention that tonight yeah we've already 1:47:321 hour, 47 minutes, 32 secondsapproved a contract with them on CPA which was last year for what they're doing now that 12 12,000 which was a 1:47:401 hour, 47 minutes, 40 secondscontract and but you don't have to advertise for bid from Professional Services so that one does have to be does not have to be advertised I I'm not 1:47:481 hour, 47 minutes, 48 secondsat all suggested we would change the B threshold from 25k so Sher you have you have an opinion on 1:47:561 hour, 47 minutes, 56 secondsit put me on the spot I like doing that in case you haven't noticed I like putting everybody on the spot maybe you tell me what you 1:48:051 hour, 48 minutes, 5 secondsthink you you okay with 25 or you think it ought be less like it used to be I like it better less but I 1:48:151 hour, 48 minutes, 15 secondsunderstand that stuff cost a lot more now so 1:48:211 hour, 48 minutes, 21 secondsI don't know that I like 25 total 1:48:301 hour, 48 minutes, 30 secondsbut5 all right so uh I will draft up a policy revision with 25 sounds like 1:48:381 hour, 48 minutes, 38 secondsthat's that's how all this started you wanted to check put that in the Poli a number in the Poli yeah yeah exactly 1:48:451 hour, 48 minutes, 45 secondsum I I I wanted to for clarity in future it should be super clear that's what I want and I fig we just take a few 1:48:541 hour, 48 minutes, 54 secondsminutes talk about what you're saying is that first one that declares that you do it by the one at the County's uh Act of 1:49:011 hour, 49 minutes, 1 second81 yeah the policy says that the school board shall follow the same purchasing policy is as hi count and I understand that 1:49:101 hour, 49 minutes, 10 secondsuh without anything else when you look at that you're wondering where the heck does this come 1:49:171 hour, 49 minutes, 17 secondsfrom and so so we build board policies based on people coming in and new so you 1:49:241 hour, 49 minutes, 24 secondswant more clarity on it what y I mean it'll be it'll be it'll just be stating what's already the fact it's just it'll be easier to figure out yeah because it 1:49:331 hour, 49 minutes, 33 secondswas a little difficult for us to figure it out yeah we had to go to you don't know how much research I did and come up with a lot of that stuff 1:49:421 hour, 49 minutes, 42 secondsand and John also so next thing I wanted to say is um the school the school website's been 1:49:491 hour, 49 minutes, 49 secondsrevamped and great it does so whoever worked on that you did a good job Craig and um I know I I'm not personally 1:49:591 hour, 49 minutes, 59 secondshardly ever on Facebook or any kind of social media anymore but I've heard that we're putting stuff on social media 1:50:051 hour, 50 minutes, 5 secondswhich is great Twitter looks good x what x x um so I would say I have now 1:50:141 hour, 50 minutes, 14 secondsfollowing yeah use social media I think is a good way to communicate still community so the website looks great for 1:50:221 hour, 50 minutes, 22 secondswhoever you guys worked on it and keep doing the social media post good good Outreach take Advance uh Miss esabelle 1:50:301 hour, 50 minutes, 30 secondsdo you want to say anything you confused enough by the process okay Ella good thank you um got Christie 1:50:401 hour, 50 minutes, 40 secondsyou got anything you want to add no hey
