The board’s substantive work centered on budget amendments, several policy actions, and a contentious late-added discussion about election-related use of school property. The board approved four budget amendments covering grant revenue, ESSER-related indirect costs and salary support, bus insurance recovery, donations, and CTE/Title I line-item revisions. Policy changes also moved forward on officer elections, grading, instructional materials, and library-material review, but the most disputed item was the student board representative policy: members first voted to suspend it for a year, then—after immediate concern that the move was unfair to the current student representatives and had been raised without notice—reconsidered and unanimously reinstated it.
A second dispute concerned election law, polling places, and campaign signs at school property. The board approved clarifying that the former alternative-school portable buildings at 2097 Vineyard Way are storage buildings, not instructional space, to address compliance questions under a new state election law. A separate motion to allow political signs during early voting at East Hickman High School failed 4–3, though the board agreed to revisit the underlying policy. Other notable threads included rising CTE enrollment and funding implications, holiday meal logistics and cafeteria staffing, approximately 14 recent school threats with 3 deemed viable, textbook-compliance requirements no longer needing annual board certification, and requests to revisit football game costs and a school therapy/service dog program.

New Business / Agenda Items 26:01
Budget amendments 26:01
- 26:01 Budget Amendment 11 added revenue for the ATSI grant and carryover revenue for the IDEA preschool grant; administration said these funds were already reflected in the needs plan and the amendment formally budgets them.
- 26:19 Budget Amendment 12 made small revisions to Title I travel tied to professional development and shifted CTE Perkins dollars among line items at the state’s suggestion to better align expenditures.
- 26:43 Budget Amendment 13 adjusted the general fund:
- 26:59 Added indirect-cost revenue previously discussed in connection with ESSER 3.
- 27:13 Used those dollars particularly to cover the ESSER manager salary as the federal program continues, now paid from 141.
- 27:29 Added insurance recovery tied to a bus-related matter.
- 27:37 Added an MLEC grant, a donation for East Hickman Elementary School, and a private-citizen donation supporting the Little Book Bus program and other uses.
- 27:52 Budget Amendment 14 moved dollars within the proper cost center and subcode, shifting funds into outside support and the Family Resource Centers for Centerville and East.
- 28:16 Motion made to approve Budget Amendments 11, 12, 13, and 14 together.
- 28:21 Amendments approved by roll-call vote, all yes.
Board policy actions 28:55
Policy 1.200 — Method of election of officers, first reading 28:55
- 29:04 First-reading change to Policy 1.200 was presented following a recommendation from the prior month.
- 29:47 The policy revision was explained as a response to a recent election tie/runoff situation: in the event of a runoff election for a district seat, board officers would be elected at the first meeting after the election is certified.
- 30:41 Motion passed 5–2 after members requested individual no votes be recorded; discussion stressed the prior policy lacked clarity if a tie occurred.
Second reading policies: instructional materials, library materials, grading 31:25
- 31:25 Policy 4.400 on instructional materials was updated by replacing old wording with TISA terminology.
- 31:31 Policy 4.403 on library materials was revised based on TSBA recommendations regarding the review process.
- 31:40 Policy 4.600 on grading was updated in response to a Public Chapter provision prohibiting local boards from adopting a grading policy or procedure that establishes a minimum grade of zero.
- 32:02 Motion to approve these policies on second reading passed unanimously.
Policy 1.261 — Student board representatives, review, suspension vote, then reinstatement 32:29
- 32:29 Administration noted Policy 1.261 on student board representatives had not been reviewed in July as intended and was being brought forward now.
- 33:05 A member who helped establish the policy asked whether anyone wanted changes after roughly a year of operation.
- 33:33 Motion made to suspend Policy 1.261 for one year.
- 34:15 Supporters of suspension argued the policy had not been followed as written:
- East Hickman High School had difficulty complying because representatives were supposed to be juniors or seniors and also attend the SCOPE conference, while the students who attended SCOPE were not seniors.
- Some members said the policy’s implementation had included discussions not pertinent to the board policy and questioned whether students should attend all 12 meetings or only report periodically.
- 35:16 Opponents argued the compliance issue stemmed from the policy design rather than student fault, and said the board should still hear student feedback, perhaps through periodic reports rather than attendance at every meeting.
- 37:59 Roll-call vote on suspension:
- 38:57 Motion to suspend passed 5–2.
- 39:25 Immediately after the vote, multiple members objected to how the item had been raised:
- 39:25 One member said they had known nothing about the motion beforehand.
- 39:57 Several members said the matter should not have been brought up on the spot without notice, because it put the current student representative in an awkward position.
- 40:45 Members urged allowing the current students to finish their terms and reviewing the policy at the natural transition point at year’s end.
- 42:36 Motion made and seconded to reconsider and effectively reinstate Policy 1.261.
- 46:49 The clarified motion was to reinstate the policy now and revisit any needed revisions later.
- 46:57 Roll-call vote to reinstate:
- 47:18 Reinstatement passed unanimously, 7–0.
- 45:02 During discussion, members noted the policy itself says it is to be reviewed annually in July and currently states student representatives attend all regularly scheduled meetings.
Other policies up for review 47:35
- 47:35 Policies 4.607 through 5.10 were taken up for routine review.
- 48:10 Motion to approve the review passed.
- 48:18 One member specifically asked about Policy 4.607 on testing programs.
- 48:25 Administration said the board is receiving testing information through accountability reports and other reports, though TCAP results then available were under embargo.
- 49:49 Discussion clarified that testing data is used to identify students needing intervention through RTI; district leaders named the RTI structure and coordinator.
- 51:11 Review approval carried.
Election law, polling place designation, and campaign signs 51:11
Clarifying former alternative-school portables as storage buildings 51:28
- 51:28 A board member raised TCA 2-3-101 concerns after receiving calls about signs and school-property election use.
- 51:54 The old alternative-school building area at 2097 Vineyard Way was described as a school-listed site that is now actually a storage facility, not an instructional building.
- 52:31 Members discussed a new law effective in March 2024 requiring local education agencies or charter schools to be closed for instruction on presidential primary election days if the county election commission uses the school as a polling place.
- 53:10 Discussion emphasized that no students are in the Vineyard Way portables and the site is separate from the middle school campus.
- 54:37 Administration summarized the request as formally declaring the three portable buildings across from Hickman County Middle School to be district storage so the district is clearly compliant with the law.
- 55:17 Motion made to declare 2097 Vineyard Way a storage building not used for student instruction and therefore usable for general-election purposes.
- 55:33 Motion approved.
Political signs at East Hickman High School during early voting 55:40
- 55:40 A separate issue concerned complaints that sign removal at East Hickman High School appeared partisan.
- 56:20 The motion proposed allowing political signs along the entrance roadway at East Hickman High School, 7700 State Highway 7, during early voting so long as they did not block visibility.
- 56:55 Members cited Policy 1.806, line 7, which says political signs for people running for public office are not allowed on school property except those held by poll workers on election day; some said this wording is confusing and may have intended campaign workers.
- 57:45 Administration said that when signs were found on school property they were removed to the office and returned to candidates upon request, and that actions taken were based on board-policy compliance, not party preference.
- 58:09 Supporters of allowing signs argued:
- Signs had been present for part of prior election periods and in 2022.
- Early voting differs from election day, and people who work often rely on signs being posted throughout the early-voting period.
- If schools host voting, some members believed signage should be allowed so long as it is lawful and not a traffic hazard.
- 1:02:43 Opponents argued:
- No political signs should be on or near school grounds because schools should not appear to endorse or host political bias.
- Plenty of roadway exists outside school property.
- If elections on school property create repeated controversy, voting should potentially be moved elsewhere, such as the community center.
- 1:03:49 Members also clarified that the state law at issue applies to the actual election day, not early voting, and does not prohibit early voting at schools.
- 1:08:42 Motion and second were recognized to allow political signs during early voting at East Hickman High School, citing past practice in 2022 and the recent primary.
- 1:09:14 Administration explained that once signs were observed during the primary, maintenance was directed to remove them and hold them at the office because board policy prohibited them on school property.
- 1:10:08 Roll-call vote:
- 1:10:22 Motion failed 4–3.
- 1:10:41 In discussion after the vote, a member said Keith Nash had expressed concern that the sign removals looked politically biased; the board reiterated the removals were done under policy, not partisan intent.
- 1:12:19 Motion made to revisit Policy 1.806 at the next agenda.
- 1:15:14 Motion to revisit the policy passed by voice vote.
- 1:15:23 Members noted the revisit would come November 4, the day before election day, though several acknowledged that timing would not likely resolve the current election dispute.
Textbook compliance 1:15:41
- 1:15:41 An added item sought board approval of textbook compliance because members believed a vote was required and each principal had submitted a letter.
- 1:16:28 Administration explained that after checking with the Tennessee Department of Education, annual board certification is no longer required:
- The former Form 2152 annual signature process has ended.
- The board still approves textbook selections at the time of adoption, such as the math adoption a few years earlier.
- 1:17:15 Members concluded no vote was necessary and that the item would simply be noted in discussion.
CTE updates 1:18:12
- 1:18:25 District leaders and Jennifer Turpin, college and career counselor for both high schools, presented CTE data.
- 1:18:39 Administration credited CTE teachers, high-school counselors, and principals for improving scheduling, pushing industry credentials, and increasing early postsecondary opportunities.
- 1:19:49 The district said the middle-school career labs at both middle schools are essentially the same, with only one or two modules differing.
- 1:20:06 A company representative had recently returned to work with teachers on implementation of the labs.
- 1:20:23 Members stressed that career and technical education is especially important in Hickman County because many students go directly into the workforce and stronger CTE programs help both students and county economic development.
- 1:20:55 CTE middle-school enrollment reportedly rose from 288 to 656 students.
- 1:21:03 Members said TISA provides additional district funding when students are enrolled in CTE.
- 1:21:10 High-school CTE enrollment for the first semester was reported at 1,274; if repeated in second semester, administration projected 2,548 total enrollments, described as more than double the prior year.
- 1:21:33 Administration said that gain came from adding an additional instructional period, a staffing and scheduling commitment accepted by teachers to better serve students.
Holiday meals plan 1:22:17
- 1:22:17 Administration outlined a plan to resume holiday meals after several years without them.
- 1:22:25 For students in kindergarten through fifth grade, families would be invited to a total of six holiday meals over a child’s K–5 years.
- 1:22:42 Planned grade groupings:
- Kindergarten and 3rd grade for Thanksgiving.
- 1st and 4th grade for Christmas.
- 2nd and 5th grade for Easter.
- 1:23:14 Parents would be asked for a headcount in advance because prior holiday meals drew such large crowds that the district had to bring in furniture and use the gym, disrupting students’ day.
- 1:23:39 The revised structure was presented as a way to include parents while keeping the events manageable under current cafeteria labor conditions.
- 1:24:27 In response to a staffing question, cafeteria leadership said staffing is currently in a workable place and they feel good about managing the plan.
School threats and safety response 1:24:45
- 1:24:45 Administration addressed a recent wave of threats affecting district schools, saying the district experienced roughly 13 or 14 threats over a two- to three-week span.
- 1:25:02 The district has been working with law enforcement, including Brandon Bryant, identified as the homeland security agent assigned to Hickman and Perry counties.
- 1:25:20 A threat was described as viable if there is both means to carry it out and valid intent.
- 1:25:34 Example given: a second grader threatening to bring a shotgun to school during play was investigated, but with no gun in the home and no means, it was not considered viable.
- 1:25:49 Of the roughly 14 threats, 3 were considered viable.
- 1:26:03 Administration said those students were either moved through the court system or DCS to another county for assistance, no longer enrolled, or enrolled only in virtual school from home.
- 1:26:26 The district said that in the past some nonviable threats were not publicly shared because no one was in danger, but after the Georgia school tragedy the district decided to be fully transparent and report all threats.
- 1:27:06 Administration urged parents to talk with children about language and threats, saying words once used casually are now taken literally in the school-safety context.
- 1:27:30 Early in the year, the homeland security agent, assistant district attorney, and youth-services/court personnel visited the four upper schools to warn students about threats and social media.
- 1:28:20 Every student making a serious threat has been referred to juvenile court; administration said students making viable threats left school in handcuffs.
- 1:28:44 Members noted that other systems, including Shelby County Schools, had closed because of threat situations, reinforcing the seriousness of the issue.
- 1:29:00 Administration said conditions had calmed and hoped they would remain stable.
Announcements 1:29:28
- 1:29:36 Proposed upcoming fundraisers were noted as already having been reviewed the prior Wednesday.
- 1:29:46 Next regular board meeting set for November 4, 2024 at the central office, likely Room 203.
- 1:30:00 Members noted the upcoming TSBA Leadership Conference and Annual Convention, with several board members planning to attend.
Closing comments 1:30:30
- 1:30:36 A member distributed football home-game cost information and asked to place the matter on the November agenda because parents had raised concerns about fees and game prices.
- 1:31:15 Members said football home games are expensive, citing 6 officials at $125 each plus travel, with approximate game cost around $1,000 before cleanup and other expenses; the goal was to discuss the issue without micromanaging athletics.
- 1:31:54 A member asked to revive discussion of a school dog program first discussed in July of the prior year for Hickman County Middle School and Hickman County High School.
- 1:32:17 The member cited examples from Franklin Special School District, including a superintendent recognized as superintendent of the year who reportedly had 6 dogs in a smaller system, and said grant opportunities had existed.
- 1:32:24 The dog-program request was framed as beneficial to students based on research and examples from nursing homes, hospitals, and schools.
- 1:33:06 Members were reminded of a November 8, 7 PM event at Loveless Barn, free for board members and one guest but requiring registration.
- 1:33:45 Board members were invited to East Hickman Intermediate School’s reading night on November 14 from 5 to 7.
- 1:34:25 Legislative representatives for the board said they had a meeting that Friday and asked members to send any issues or bill ideas early because legislators only can carry a limited number of bills and early submission matters.
Adjournment 1:35:11
- 1:35:21 Motion to adjourn was made and seconded.

29:4729 minutes, 47 seconds1.200 the policy uh we had a tie in the primary so the policy has now the change in the policy is this in the event of a
29:5529 minutes, 55 secondsrunoff election for a district SE the board officers will be elected at the first meeting after the election as
30:0330 minutes, 3 secondscertified uh the policy didn't have Clarity uh to address a tie and so it created a situation where we felt like
30:1130 minutes, 11 secondswe should uh have a solution for the tie if it ever were to occur again so that's
30:1930 minutes, 19 secondsthe change to policy we now we have to vote on it right have to vote to to

31:4031 minutes, 40 secondsreview process and then 4600 grading system um in public chapter it talked about the grading policy or procedure
31:4931 minutes, 49 secondsthat establishes a minimum grade of zero uh and that would prohibit any
31:5531 minutes, 55 secondslocal board from doing that okay so those are up for second
32:0232 minutes, 2 secondsreading make motion policy for policy
32:1032 minutes, 10 seconds4.40 policy 4.03 for policy 4.60 for second
32:1732 minutes, 17 secondsreading all second all in favor I
32:2932 minutes, 29 secondsand then we have some up for review and you'll see that the numbers do not kind of you know go together we have that 1.26
32:3832 minutes, 38 seconds1.26 student board representatives and we were unable to review that in July and so it is here now we will make sure
32:4632 minutes, 46 secondsthat that gets in July from moving forward um and then you have the others that are up
32:5832 minutes, 58 secondsI asked Misty to bring up the 1.26 because we had not um brought it
33:0533 minutes, 5 secondsup I would I'm the one who um helped get this um policy in place I would just
33:1333 minutes, 13 secondslike to know if anybody has any concerns or if they would like to make any changes to
33:2033 minutes, 20 secondsit so it's uh it's been around for what since the first of the
33:2633 minutes, 26 secondsyear uh last September September so it's been a little over a year and and
33:3333 minutes, 33 secondsworks uh I don't think the policy has been followed to the rule to the to what's in there I would make a motion
33:4333 minutes, 43 secondsthat 1.26 be uh suspended for one
33:5333 minutes, 53 secondsyear I that discussion about you have a motion a
34:0134 minutes, 1 secondsecond roll call vote please well we don't we have any discussion you can have it
34:1034 minutes, 10 secondsyeah so so what would be the results of suspending policy
34:1534 minutes, 15 seconds1.26 to possibly look at it uh make sure that all aspects are being followed as
34:2434 minutes, 24 secondsfar as the the candidates are supposed to to be uh seniors if I understand
34:3034 minutes, 30 secondscorrectly they were not jior junior junior or seniors okay but it has not been
34:4034 minutes, 40 secondsfollowed it it discussions that are not uh pertinent to the to the board policy have taken
34:4934 minutes, 49 secondsplace uh so did I just don't think it's
34:5634 minutes, 56 secondsworking I guess I'll leave that that's your choice I mean and and
35:0335 minutes, 3 secondsthat's a joke well this is not a place to be
35:1635 minutes, 16 secondsjoking I would like to say this the policy put e sikman High School
35:2435 minutes, 24 secondsin a situation where they they could not comply because the person the student representative to the board had to be a
35:3235 minutes, 32 secondssenior and also had to go to the scope conference and and their people who their students who went to the scope
35:4035 minutes, 40 secondsconference they were not singers uh so that's that's how the
35:4735 minutes, 47 secondsnon-compliance arose now other than that um I I don't
35:5535 minutes, 55 secondsknow I don't know what's been problematic about it but I do I do know that they were in a situation where their students who
36:0336 minutes, 3 secondswent to the scope conference were not seniors nothing against the people I mean they were at the scope conference
36:1036 minutes, 10 secondsthey were I was at the scope conference they were there doing what they were and it was exciting for them I I
36:1836 minutes, 18 secondsdon't disagree with that but you understand they weren't seniors and then they had to have a representative and so they they were in a situation where they
36:2636 minutes, 26 secondscouldn't comply with both being a senior and both attending the scope office my question is it beneficial to
36:3536 minutes, 35 secondsthe student for them to attend 12 of our meetings maybe you don't make them come
36:4336 minutes, 43 secondsas often maybe you make them here once a quarter I think it's good sometimes to have some input from students we should listen to
36:5136 minutes, 51 secondsstudents in some cases but maybe they shouldn't be here maybe it's a better use of their time they're not here for
36:5836 minutes, 58 seconds12 meetings throughout the year I think we could I I think we could um have them
37:0637 minutes, 6 secondscome before us and give us um updates on the school it it says
37:1337 minutes, 13 secondssomething about it says something about them presenting an annual report right and so that could be a rem you know they
37:2137 minutes, 21 secondscould do that right like pick up some period some meeting during the year where they could Pres in uh you know we
37:2937 minutes, 29 secondsget that feedback from the student body but it does say so I read it's it says here on line 20 give a report to the
37:3837 minutes, 38 secondsboard at the end of their one-year term regarding their experience of serving and providing any appropriate information that may help proove the effectivess of such service
37:4737 minutes, 47 secondsso good
37:5937 minutes, 59 secondsyeah we have we have so roll call vote so every you want to start it m Dr Anderson
38:0838 minutes, 8 secondsokay clarify the motion so everybody knows you good V what I have Mr gam motion is to suspend policy
38:1838 minutes, 18 seconds1.26 for one year for one year one year
38:2638 minutes, 26 secondsokay call vote um miss
38:3438 minutes, 34 secondsm i get yes I guess we're gonna change it Dr kid
38:4238 minutes, 42 secondsno Miss Haron no Miss Baker
38:4938 minutes, 49 secondsyes Mr gon yes Mr Hobs yes Mr Lane yes
38:5738 minutes, 57 secondsthat's 5 Y 2 nay so what I do
39:0939 minutes, 9 secondsjust you're here for this Mee unless you want to leave we don't want you to
39:1739 minutes, 17 secondsleave okay so 4607 through 5.1 are the others up I want to go on
39:2539 minutes, 25 secondsthe record to say that I I I knew absolutely nothing about
39:3339 minutes, 33 secondsthe vote prior to Mr gamon's making the motion um a few minutes ago
39:4239 minutes, 42 secondsand I feel like I need to say that I would still say give the uh them the certificate of participation and all
39:5039 minutes, 50 secondsthat that we gave in the past well I don't think things like this
39:5739 minutes, 57 secondsbe brought up on the spot we should have been given notice that this was going to be brought up I I agree because it put it put jack in an awkward spot and and
40:0640 minutes, 6 secondsthat's why I said what I said that's that's that's why I said what I said I I had no inclination that this was going
40:1340 minutes, 13 secondsto be part of of tonight's discussion I don't know that anybody had any information I just asked I I value what
40:2140 minutes, 21 secondsMiss Heron is saying uh as director of schools if I would have been notified of this I would have shared this to the
40:2940 minutes, 29 secondsother board members that this item was going to be considered because it it put jack in an award spot uh and and that's
40:3740 minutes, 37 secondsnot what we want to do for our students and also what do we gain from
40:4540 minutes, 45 secondsthis I'd like to see Jack be able to finish his timeout he's a senior in high school probably going to college I'd like to see him be able to finish his
40:5440 minutes, 54 secondstime out and then you address this policy at the end of the school year through the summer to decide when school starts back
41:0341 minutes, 3 secondsdo you want student Representatives or not do we already voted make that motion
41:1041 minutes, 10 secondsmotion to repeal the suspension and motion to table this
41:1741 minutes, 17 secondsuntil I a mole simple motion that you make a motion that he stay and fulfill his
41:2441 minutes, 24 secondsterm and Miss Patel too but you are violating that you've said you're going to suspend this policy w we go the I thought when I
41:3341 minutes, 33 secondsvoted to suspend the policy we were still going to do what we were doing we were just going to bring it up again next year it's required to be B brought
41:4041 minutes, 40 secondsup every year anyway right but we with how it is it may need some
41:4741 minutes, 47 secondsreview well then I I thought when you
41:5441 minutes, 54 secondssuspended you can read introduce it and uh I guess finish your arguments
42:0242 minutes, 2 secondsif you have more arguments to it but you can reintroduce it as long as we're still on the subject it's not the student's fault that this policy was out
42:1142 minutes, 11 secondsof compliance so there's no you know to take that away from him something that he's committed to and she's committed to
42:1942 minutes, 19 secondsI don't agree with that I thought I was vote when I voted yes I thought that I was Voting to to just bring it up like
42:2742 minutes, 27 secondssuspend the policy but bring it up for review next year like continue with how it is so I would like to make a motion
42:3642 minutes, 36 secondsto reconsider policy policy 1.26 I second that so we have a motion
42:4442 minutes, 44 secondsby miss Ma to reconsider policy 1.2 we a motion to reconsider
42:5242 minutes, 52 secondspoint two six six we who
43:0043 minutessecond I didn't all right now really this was the time for discussion after you had your bir that's
43:0943 minutes, 9 secondswhere we kind of getting off need to have a first and a second to have a discussion we don't follow rules so but we've already had discussion so is
43:1743 minutes, 17 secondseverybody through discussing on a total do motion now because the first one is already part of the record but we was talking about it
43:2543 minutes, 25 secondsbefore we got the second right you can't delete did but you can reintroduce it for for misunderstanding right yeah I
43:3443 minutes, 34 secondsthink if misunderstood her what she was voting on I think we need to my think I think we
43:4343 minutes, 43 secondscontinue but there if there are things that we need to fix on it we fix them when they when they come back up like we need to keep we don't need to just stop
43:5243 minutes, 52 secondsit in the middle of the year keep going like we are and then when it comes back up we can I rewrite it or take out or put in what
44:0044 minuteswhat you don't like but I I really didn't understand Miss Heron's strong objection after saying that you thought we ought to have they ought not
44:0744 minutes, 7 secondsnecessarily be here for all the meetings but now you're saying they should be here for all the meetings I think this is a conversation that's something that can
44:1644 minutes, 16 secondsbe determined I don't think it's fair to cut his knees out from under him I don't think no well you're you're you're dismissing
44:2544 minutes, 25 secondshim with this policy I guess that's you're just missing him but but but you but so do you want you said a while ago
44:3344 minutes, 33 secondsthat he should be maybe they shouldn't be here every meeting well maybe not maybe that's something that when we revise this prophecy we talk about right
44:4044 minutes, 40 secondsbut tonight's not the time to make that decision you could pull it out and put
44:4944 minutes, 49 secondsit up for reading first reading next month to discuss how you want to revise
44:5544 minutes, 55 secondsit or you could right there it says to the left this policy and when the law
45:0245 minutes, 2 secondswas passed and allow this it says annually in July this policy is supposed to be looked at every year before you
45:1145 minutes, 11 secondsstart with uh the representative at the beginning of the school year the the representatives are not really required
45:2045 minutes, 20 secondsto be there during the the summer because they don't have anything to report on on students at school nor do they have anything that well there's
45:2945 minutes, 29 secondsjust nothing going on at school so there's no requirement from to be here and I don't think we did require them to be here so line line 16 of the policy
45:3845 minutes, 38 secondssays that the student representative will attend all regularly scheduled meetings I think Miss Heron uh good I
45:4545 minutes, 45 secondsthink Miss Heron has the right mindset when she said let's get to the endend of the
45:5445 minutes, 54 secondsschool year let's get to June when there is a natural transition to either put two more students on the board with the
46:0346 minutes, 3 secondsexisting policy or to not put students on the board or to modify the policy so right now the vote is let's simply
46:1146 minutes, 11 secondsreinstate 1.26 that is that what our motion that's the motion yes that's the motion is that
46:1946 minutes, 19 secondswhat we got M motion was motion to reconsider what you said you
46:2846 minutes, 28 secondsif I think re state is probably the the better choice of words can we
46:3646 minutes, 36 secondschange your motion here to say to reinstate that's
46:4246 minutes, 42 secondsfine read it please and we need a second yes sir I have motion to reinstate
46:4946 minutes, 49 seconds1.26 I have miss Ma and then Dr cud if I'm not mistaken okay
46:5746 minutes, 57 secondsrad call V okay Dr C yes Miss Haron yes Miss
47:1047 minutes, 10 secondsBaker yes Mr gamon yes Mr H
47:1847 minutes, 18 secondsyes Mr Lane yes Miss May yes
47:3547 minutes, 35 secondsthat brings us Rie to the rest of the review 4607 to 5.1 make a
47:4547 minutes, 45 secondsmotion approve the review
47:5247 minutes, 52 secondssee one point well what's the first one after that 4. 606 4607 through
48:0348 minutes, 3 seconds5.10 you made the motion y I'll second Lan and M
48:1048 minutes, 10 secondsB all in favor the testing programs discussion right that's the one you wanted to yeah
48:1848 minutes, 18 secondstesting programs 4.7 homebody uh the board shall approve systemwide testing
48:2548 minutes, 25 secondsprograms which shall be periodically reviewed I pretty think pretty much think we've done that uh
48:3348 minutes, 33 secondsuh we get all of those that information uh promoting
48:4048 minutes, 40 secondsaccountability progress of students reported to us on a on a basis annual basis Aid in counseling guidance
48:5048 minutes, 50 secondsstudents there's nine items there are we being provided all that information
49:0149 minutes, 1 secondI think that testing is mostly yours isn't it Dr Anderson we be provided all that information yes sir the accountability report provides a great
49:0949 minutes, 9 secondsdeal of that in addition to that the only other testing information right now that we have uh would be Benchmark one
49:1749 minutes, 17 secondswhich is not a state testing one so that has come out um the Tas that has just come out is under embargo so therefore
49:2649 minutes, 26 secondsit's we have no availability to share it currently well we share all test we share everything up to this point has
49:3349 minutes, 33 secondsbeen shared yes sir we share all testing information with the board assisting in educational research assist in placing
49:4049 minutes, 40 secondsstudents in remedial programs how do we do that uh how do we assist in placing
49:4949 minutes, 49 secondsstudents in remedial programs I think this is the purpose of the testing program right not the purpose of the board in
49:5749 minutes, 57 secondsit says it says the board shall so that's us I'm just wondering how the board shall provide for a systemwide testing program and the purposes of that
50:0550 minutes, 5 secondssystemwide testing program that the board is providing is to do these things we do these things that's correct but we have to know what's being done otherwise
50:1450 minutes, 14 secondswhy is our name on it uh data is used to identify children
50:2150 minutes, 21 secondswho are are who are behind in skills in Reading in math and those children are
50:2850 minutes, 28 secondspart of a children are part of a program called RTI response to instruction and they and they give an additional
50:3650 minutes, 36 secondsassistance uh at uh at the schools uh M Thomasson is in charge of
50:4450 minutes, 44 secondsthat program and so that that is how uh that's how that process works Don Mayberry Don Mayberry is the
50:5450 minutes, 54 secondsRTI coordinator for the district so D Mayberry is in charge of this program throughout the
51:0151 minutes, 1 seconddistrict thank you Mr mon you're welcome Hey we got any more discussion vote all in favor
51:1151 minutes, 11 secondsI okay moving on to number 11 it's 10 e we had t 10 e and 10f or addendums 11
51:2051 minutes, 20 secondsokay 10f was the textbooks compliance 10 e was first 10 was okay
51:2851 minutes, 28 secondswhen you brought it up I think it was TCA TCA code 2.31 yes and uh reason I brought it up
51:3651 minutes, 36 secondsis because I've had calls about uh signs in the on it which really allies more
51:4451 minutes, 44 secondstoward the building election where the elections taking place and uh when you go look it up the
51:5451 minutes, 54 secondsthe old alternative school building is listed as a school building which it is not it's at 2097 Vineyard way it's
52:0252 minutes, 2 secondsactually a storage building I think we need to clarify that because of some of the questions that's been asked no
52:0952 minutes, 9 secondsstudents are in those uh no students are in those buildings any three of them for
52:1552 minutes, 15 secondsany education it is separated from the main campus of uh uh the middle school
52:2352 minutes, 23 secondsnow the the reason is is this is a new law that was started it was in effect in March of
52:3152 minutes, 31 seconds2024 it says uh an enacted as enacted requires leas local education
52:3852 minutes, 38 secondsassociations which is the board and public charter schools of County to be closed for instruction on presidential
52:4652 minutes, 46 secondsprimary election days if the election if the County election commission uses such schools as a
52:5452 minutes, 54 secondspolling place that building is used as a poll in place but we need I think we need to clarify it in in our minutes so
53:0253 minutes, 2 secondsthat it and and the reason can I speak to this I know a little bit about this too I've had some uh is that there there is a law now that says the day of
53:1053 minutes, 10 secondselection cannot be any students where if a school facility is being used there cannot be any students in that building that's correct now you can for some
53:1953 minutes, 19 secondsreason you can still have like at East Hitman high school you can still do the early voting but you can't be there on the day of the election and so and so we
53:2853 minutes, 28 secondsbut we are voting in the Fifth District my district is votes over there and I vote there across the middle school but
53:3653 minutes, 36 secondsit's now a storage building so we need to clarify that for to show that we're compliant with the new law I think it
53:4353 minutes, 43 secondswill help on some of the confusion uh that has existed with parties that I won't say who they
53:5053 minutes, 50 secondsare but we need to we need to to clarify this yeah and uh and maybe two two
53:5753 minutes, 57 secondsdifferent uh two different motions and voted on would probably help it let's let's let's let's see if we can finish
54:0454 minutes, 4 secondsthis one first okay there's a new law if your school is used as a polling a ballot a polling place you cannot be in
54:1354 minutes, 13 secondssession East hman Middle East East tickman High School they vote early but they do not vote during Tuesday November
54:2254 minutes, 22 seconds5th so uh and I appreciate uh Marty Davis for uh that because we don't want to miss
54:2954 minutes, 29 secondsschool on that day now here's where we are at there's three Portable Buildings across the street from Hickman County
54:3754 minutes, 37 secondsMiddle School no students ever in those buildings those buildings are used for school district storage so what Mr gamon
54:4554 minutes, 45 secondsis saying is he wants us to declare those buildings as storage buildings to be in compliance with the law because
54:5454 minutes, 54 secondsthey are not part of Hickman County Middle School they used to be used for the alternative school but they are not school buildings they're not a building
55:0255 minutes, 2 secondsthat a student ever enters so what is the address I think it's 2097 Vineyard W
55:0855 minutes, 8 secondsso a mailbox out front I assume that that's the mailbox and it's on Vineyard Way so so the motion would be to declare
55:1755 minutes, 17 secondsmake a motion to declare a 2097 Vineyard Way as a uh storage building not for
55:2555 minutes, 25 secondsstudent instruction instruction and to be used for it can be used for general election okay a second
55:3355 minutes, 33 secondson that second all in favor very good the second part the
55:4055 minutes, 40 secondssecond part is uh the signs that's been brought up that
55:4855 minutes, 48 secondswe're bip part we're partisan we're tearing down signs that are of one party leaving them up we're not targeting
55:5555 minutes, 55 secondsanother party uh they allowed signs out at East Hickman High School up until the first
56:0556 minutes, 5 secondsday that teachers were back I guess out there for the for the day that uh that you all met and gave them a briefing but
56:1356 minutes, 13 secondsanyway uh the signs have gone up they've come down and since it is a polling
56:2056 minutes, 20 secondsplace and the signs are not any visible uh in visible means of blocking Vision
56:2956 minutes, 29 secondsor anything pulling in and out I think that make a motion that East Hickman High School Entrance driveway at 7700
56:3856 minutes, 38 secondsState Highway 7 be allowed uh political signs on roadway going in M please yes
56:4756 minutes, 47 secondssir uh for policy
56:5556 minutes, 55 seconds1.86 six number seven of that policy it states political signs for people who are running for public office shall not
57:0357 minutes, 3 secondsbe allowed on school property except for those being held by poll workers on Election Day and that's kind of
57:1157 minutes, 11 secondsconfusing I think I I think what they mean by poll workers campaign workers at the poll so so so the way the policy is
57:2057 minutes, 20 secondswritten is if you want to show up on Election Day and you and you want to hold a sign for a candidate it you can
57:3057 minutes, 30 secondsnow this isn't a school district policy but state election law say you have to be 100 ft from the door of the polling
57:3857 minutes, 38 secondsplace to hold that sign so that so that is the board policy uh so what happened
57:4557 minutes, 45 secondswas in uh when when signs have been brought to our attention we took them to the office and when candidates came and
57:5357 minutes, 53 secondssaid where are our signs we gave them back to them so so we we haven't been partisan about this we just simply have been following board policy what Mr
58:0258 minutes, 2 secondsgammons is saying is to allow the S so we well we kind of set a
58:0958 minutes, 9 secondsPresidents by allowing them for what 20 days of the uh primary election and then
58:1758 minutes, 17 secondsall of a sudden we took them down uh as soon as in the past we have before our current director uh they were let they
58:2558 minutes, 25 secondsput signs up people were out there holding signs Bing them I think you even saw them out there back uh in 22 2022
58:3458 minutes, 34 secondsthere was three tents and several signs at the East H High School up until the day of the election yeah 9 but now but
58:4458 minutes, 44 secondsbut but to be fair policy here does say on line seven political signs for people who are running for public office shall not be
58:5258 minutes, 52 secondsallowed on school property except those being held by a pole worker which I believe that's against the law that is
59:0059 minutesworker this policy was written in 2021 uh it issued but but I think I think it was maybe that meant
59:0959 minutes, 9 secondspo Watcher I don't know I think it meant campaign worker campaign work it was illegal for them back then too so but I
59:1759 minutes, 17 secondsthink there's a difference between East Hickman high school and the other property that's owned by the
59:2559 minutes, 25 secondsschool system that is now designated as storage there's a difference because East Higman High School is early voting
59:3259 minutes, 32 secondsand early voting only so they're not just one day they can stand out there and hold signs right like most people work so that's why they put their
59:4059 minutes, 40 secondscampaign signs up I've had numerous County officials County Commissioners all that contact
59:4859 minutes, 48 secondsme and they I think I mean I tend to agree with him that on early election we should
59:5559 minutes, 55 secondselect ow the signs at East hman High School as long as they're not interfering with the view of um turning
1:00:021 hour, 2 secondsin turning out then it's not for us as a board to say what the the election
1:00:111 hour, 11 secondscommission does as far as the 100 foot that's state law we we shouldn't even have that in board policy that would be up to them to enforce the 100 foot law
1:00:201 hour, 20 secondsif that's what their responsibility not it's not our responsibility to to to do anything with that because I've had
1:00:281 hour, 28 secondspeople tell me says well you should you shouldn't I just like to clarify and I don't I don't have a sign up out there
1:00:361 hour, 36 secondsnever and and it doesn't make any difference but I just think from the people that's called me and complain it
1:00:431 hour, 43 secondsmaybe this would help suffice a little bit but to let uh let them put their signs up out
1:00:501 hour, 50 secondsthere they then would we not have to modify our original board we need we need to review that board policy anyway
1:00:591 hour, 59 secondsbecause it's it's that that one line there it's clear it's really good at the beginning but when you get the line seven it it it
1:01:071 hour, 1 minute, 7 secondsthis will only target the allowing them to put it up because there are others in there a school teacher can't go throw up signs in their classroom a uh a school
1:01:171 hour, 1 minute, 17 secondscan't go put presidential sign out of one and not put something up with other uh a political person that's teaching
1:01:241 hour, 1 minute, 24 secondspolitics could put both signs up but it I think that leaves it in the policy this just addresses this one section to
1:01:331 hour, 1 minute, 33 secondsget you're trying to address the current election I'm trying to address the current complaints that I right and it's about this yeah what we 10 days out same
1:01:421 hour, 1 minute, 42 secondsones that you've got I imagine yes I have I have had call so so
1:01:481 hour, 1 minute, 48 secondsRon is accurate but you know that's I a't seen any sign that's
1:01:551 hour, 1 minute, 55 secondsbecause down I've been out in and out of that place a long time I hav seen you signs hav sign out was there only there one day or two at this time and then
1:02:031 hour, 2 minutes, 3 secondsthey took them down that right policy says they're supposed to be taking down correct and they were trying said they was not supposed to be there yeah I mean
1:02:111 hour, 2 minutes, 11 secondsit's not not knocking anybody that took them down or or whatever but the people that their signs were taken down some of
1:02:181 hour, 2 minutes, 18 secondsthem are not happy so what's your Mo what's your motion all you have to do is refer them to the PO yeah and go pick up the s in the office you refer them to
1:02:261 hour, 2 minutes, 26 secondsthe policy and they think they say hey it talks about pole workers in their canid it's a bad policy so we need to change the policy we need to review the
1:02:351 hour, 2 minutes, 35 secondspolicy but I think we need to to let them put their signs up Dr Green whoever else
1:02:431 hour, 2 minutes, 43 secondsuh whoever all it was there was several people out there had them I don't think they need to be on school property at all plenty of roadway to put them up I
1:02:521 hour, 2 minutes, 52 secondsagree I think then we should have stopped them over here in uh at this scho back during the primary hadn't come up had come up but they did they did
1:03:011 hour, 3 minutes, 1 secondhave them up where where do they have them they don't know the prop over where did they have them the road's coming in but that's that's not school property
1:03:091 hour, 3 minutes, 9 secondsthat's I understand that that's city property the state right away out at the high school is not school property
1:03:161 hour, 3 minutes, 16 secondseither but they Lo school property Lo County property I what you're I understand Mr what you're saying however
1:03:251 hour, 3 minutes, 25 secondsfeel like if we are allowing elections to take place on our school property we should we shouldn't
1:03:351 hour, 3 minutes, 35 secondsbe doing that we shouldn't be doing that we shouldn't be doing what allowing allowing the early voting at these high
1:03:421 hour, 3 minutes, 42 secondsschool they can't fully participate in the process may I speak to the election
1:03:491 hour, 3 minutes, 49 secondscommission back to the let me ask you a question according to the law here you but pray
1:03:561 hour, 3 minutes, 56 secondsuh it says that they will uh Public Charter School County be closed for instruction on presidential primary
1:04:041 hour, 4 minutes, 4 secondselection days is the the days uh early voting primary election
1:04:121 hour, 4 minutes, 12 secondsdays no you're voting for Prim are they general election days but they're not in during school the the law pertains to
1:04:201 hour, 4 minutes, 20 secondsthe first Tuesday in November is all what the legal uh interpretation that right okay yeah it doesn't pertain to
1:04:291 hour, 4 minutes, 29 secondsearly which is we we you and I both went through the law on that so the question comes up sometimes is should they be
1:04:381 hour, 4 minutes, 38 secondseven in the schools out of East and there's nothing against the law that says they shouldn't be there at the early voting correct the law permits
1:04:451 hour, 4 minutes, 45 secondsthem to be there in and I hope that that clarifies with a lot of people out there there's nothing been against early
1:04:521 hour, 4 minutes, 52 secondsvoting at the school they may have been the intent but that's not what the law says so we you make a motion we did we
1:04:591 hour, 4 minutes, 59 secondsget a we do you have a motion from me you did did you I have the East Hickman
1:05:061 hour, 5 minutes, 6 secondsHigh School Entrance uh 7,700 States highways that political
1:05:131 hour, 5 minutes, 13 secondssigns shall be placed on the roadway can be placed on the roadway yeah next to the
1:05:211 hour, 5 minutes, 21 secondsroad if you don't have a second then it just is that school proper yeah the sign were scho out there it is
1:05:281 hour, 5 minutes, 28 secondsyeah here it is not it's the day of the very first day when you drove in okay when you drove in the
1:05:381 hour, 5 minutes, 38 secondsfirst I'd say 15 ft there weren't any signs but the the further you got up um before you
1:05:461 hour, 5 minutes, 46 secondsturned to go to the front of office there were signs on both sides yeah
1:05:561 hour, 5 minutes, 56 secondsyes J M pza yes uh I think that in terms of signage in around school property uh
1:06:051 hour, 6 minutes, 5 secondsI don't think any sign should be uh be able to be placed on school grounds or near school grounds even if if it's a
1:06:141 hour, 6 minutes, 14 secondspolling place if it isn't that doesn't matter the point of this is that I don't think the schools should be showing any
1:06:211 hour, 6 minutes, 21 secondssort of poal bias one way or another now people can show up on primaries or
1:06:281 hour, 6 minutes, 28 secondselection day with their signs they go ah because that's them that's that doesn't reflect any intentions of the school or
1:06:341 hour, 6 minutes, 34 secondsits Administration I think once you we start getting into the territory of oh let's let these guys Place their signs here I think that
1:06:431 hour, 6 minutes, 43 secondsimmediately cast doubt onto the uh neutrality of the school as institution well they just real quick though both
1:06:521 hour, 6 minutes, 52 secondsparties can everybody can put sides up that's what it's it's not one group put them signes it's both sides so it's
1:06:591 hour, 6 minutes, 59 secondsreally so we're not being partisan not being partisan no but I I don't I agree with you we should I agree with we
1:07:071 hour, 7 minutes, 7 secondsshouldn't be okay here here's the problem Jack that you know where State Property County property and uh school
1:07:141 hour, 7 minutes, 14 secondsproperty begin and end see a lot of people don't and that's what causes a lot of confusion well if they if they're
1:07:211 hour, 7 minutes, 21 secondsnot if they're on school property then they will be taken up and they can be return to the owner all right we got we got so we are

1:08:581 hour, 8 minutes, 58 secondssaying we're saying we got a past practice of doing it we're telling even though we had a school board policy yeah
1:09:061 hour, 9 minutes, 6 secondsand we allowed it at the primary too yeah so and we allowed at the at the primary I want to I want to speak to

1:10:411 hour, 10 minutes, 41 secondsexpressed his vment problem with what appeared to be uh political bias I think was the
1:10:511 hour, 10 minutes, 51 secondsterm he used but and I tried to explain to him that it was not but uh he he's one of the major ones that's
1:10:581 hour, 10 minutes, 58 secondson the uh Republican executive committee and he's also on the County Commission and of several committee yeah and so
1:11:071 hour, 11 minutes, 7 secondsbudget committee all that stuff so we need to U make a motion to revisit that policy I agree with that I mean what's
1:11:151 hour, 11 minutes, 15 secondsthe date on this policy I reviewed it in February with no yeah well we should didn't didn't didn't foresee the
1:11:231 hour, 11 minutes, 23 secondsproblem I was I was told to let the board know that if something didn't change that they
1:11:331 hour, 11 minutes, 33 secondswould be repercussions yes this go

1:11:571 hour, 11 minutes, 57 secondsjust my opinion and but I think it's freedom of speech myself we just need to change the policy yeah we got we need to
1:12:051 hour, 12 minutes, 5 secondsDef the policy yeah that really is just real close to it need to be reviewed definitely can we bring that back up
1:12:121 hour, 12 minutes, 12 secondswhat before before since we just redid it in February we don't you can bring it up anytime yeah but you can make a
1:12:191 hour, 12 minutes, 19 secondsmotion can make make a motion revisit on the next agenda yeah on the next agenda since it's fresh on our minds that would
1:12:271 hour, 12 minutes, 27 secondsbe a good time to that be that be we got you get that Dr Anderson we got miss Ma and we got Miss Baker second
1:12:361 hour, 12 minutes, 36 secondsit and it's policy 1.86 is that cor well six is just a line or or is it one is that right Misty

1:12:511 hour, 12 minutes, 51 seconds1.86 okay so you're correct M I should not doubt at you yeah but I I want to say I want to say for the record I want
1:12:591 hour, 12 minutes, 59 secondssay for the record we got okay I want say one thing about when I was called about the signs I I knew what the policy
1:13:071 hour, 13 minutes, 7 secondswas I didn't say whose signs they are I didn't even ask whose signs they were I didn't ask what party it was I just said
1:13:151 hour, 13 minutes, 15 secondstake them to the office and if they so when that they come looking for them we can give them their signs back because the policy says they can't be on Skool
1:13:221 hour, 13 minutes, 22 secondsproperty this this isn't there's no partisan political and to be fair to you you was not here in 2022 when the signs
1:13:301 hour, 13 minutes, 30 secondswere up at the 310 there was three there was literally three t on that on that same
1:13:361 hour, 13 minutes, 36 secondsproperty judge the sheriff judge you're doing your job doing it correctly it's not on
1:13:441 hour, 13 minutes, 44 secondsyou I understand but I just want to say that publicly so people of the county and the County Commission would know that there was no political intent in
1:13:531 hour, 13 minutes, 53 secondsthis the intent of the decision was made was board policy compliance right so and that and and I made that very I need to
1:14:021 hour, 14 minutes, 2 secondsand I made that abundantly clear to when I had conversations with these people the longterm solution to this it used to
1:14:091 hour, 14 minutes, 9 secondsbe done in the community center already right if this seems to be a problem yeah and let's go back to let
1:14:171 hour, 14 minutes, 17 secondsthem do it at Community that's what I was saying ear we really don't need to be on if they can't fully part
1:14:251 hour, 14 minutes, 25 secondsparticipate school no I would Rec I used to yeah and Keith N I believe
1:14:331 hour, 14 minutes, 33 secondssaid that this the County Commission should be more involved in this the election commission is supposed to be they're the ones in charge AR here they're the ones that they're supposed
1:14:421 hour, 14 minutes, 42 secondsto if they're going to use a school building it says here that the requires Lea local Education Agency by law

1:24:451 hour, 24 minutes, 45 secondswe've been yeah having a lot like many schools did we went through two or three weeks of threats and we had we had about
1:24:541 hour, 24 minutes, 54 secondsa dozen probably 13 14 uh and and working we've been working with law
1:25:021 hour, 25 minutes, 2 secondsenforcement uh Brandon Bryant is our homeland security agent assigned to Hickman and Perry County uh here's what
1:25:111 hour, 25 minutes, 11 secondsMr mugan and I learned and from Brandon if Whenever there is a threat if there
1:25:201 hour, 25 minutes, 20 secondsis if there is a means to affect uate that threat and if the intent of the
1:25:271 hour, 25 minutes, 27 secondsthreat is valid then that's a viable threat I'll give you a couple examples
1:25:341 hour, 25 minutes, 34 secondswe had second graders uh playing uh cops and robbers and one kid said he was
1:25:411 hour, 25 minutes, 41 secondsgoing to bring a shotgun school you know and uh so when that we talked to the parents no there is no gun here at the
1:25:491 hour, 25 minutes, 49 secondshouse and he you know so it it wasn't a viable threat out of the 14 threats we
1:25:551 hour, 25 minutes, 55 secondshave experienced three of them were viable and those three students are
1:26:031 hour, 26 minutes, 3 secondseither either have been uh moved due to the court system or DCS to another County to receive Assistance or no
1:26:121 hour, 26 minutes, 12 secondslonger enrolled here or if they are enrolled here they are enrolled in Virtual School which means they are
1:26:191 hour, 26 minutes, 19 secondsreceiving their education at home and and and and and we got to the point where
1:26:261 hour, 26 minutes, 26 secondsuh in the past last year that when I say the past of last year we had some some
1:26:331 hour, 26 minutes, 33 secondsnonviable threats that we did not share because it just wasn't it wasn't a viable threat nobody nobody was ever in
1:26:421 hour, 26 minutes, 42 secondsany danger and we didn't share those but we're under this late latest episodes of threats that all began right after this
1:26:501 hour, 26 minutes, 50 secondstragedy in Georgia we started sharing all threats because we just made the decision to be totally transparent so I know that it
1:26:591 hour, 26 minutes, 59 secondsseems like a lot but what I ask of parents is to talk to your children there are things that we used to say as
1:27:061 hour, 27 minutes, 6 secondschildren that we cannot say anymore we simply cannot say
1:27:141 hour, 27 minutes, 14 secondsum we can't we can't use the word kill the word kill in southern vernacular means I'm going to beat you up you know
1:27:221 hour, 27 minutes, 22 secondsit used to mean that but now School violence the work Hill has to be taken literally so so that's where we are uh
1:27:301 hour, 27 minutes, 30 secondsparents need to talk to their children we we talked to the children as soon as school started um rep the homeland
1:27:381 hour, 27 minutes, 38 secondssecurity agent the assistant district attorney and the magistrate from the youth court is that is that Sheila's
1:27:451 hour, 27 minutes, 45 secondsrole what's Sheila's role youth service officers they went out to the four upper schools and met with the children and
1:27:541 hour, 27 minutes, 54 secondstold them told them about the dangers of social media told them about the threats and uh and we we've but it's not just
1:28:031 hour, 28 minutes, 3 secondsbeen us it's not just well it's been everywhere yeah but I want I want parents to speak to their children and
1:28:111 hour, 28 minutes, 11 secondsuh it we we have to uh we have to teach our children that they cannot make threats you know that they they cannot
1:28:201 hour, 28 minutes, 20 secondsdo that because it is going to be taken serious every person that has made a serious threat has been turned over to
1:28:271 hour, 28 minutes, 27 secondsthe Hickman County juvenile court system we have we that basically means they've been arrested and and and for the children
1:28:361 hour, 28 minutes, 36 secondswho made bable threats they left their school in handcuffs they left their school and this is a very serious matter Shelby
1:28:441 hour, 28 minutes, 44 secondsCounty schools had to close for a day because of would started yes yes and we need our students to co to understand
1:28:521 hour, 28 minutes, 52 secondsand cooperate and we need our parents to help their children understand and and cooperate uh so I I regret that we've
1:29:001 hour, 29 minuteshad this uh we're being totally transparent about it now I know it makes it seem like uh there's a lot of threats
1:29:101 hour, 29 minutes, 10 secondsand there has been but I just wanted to speak to it and and thankfully uh things have calmed down some and I hope they
