>>Lynn Gray: GOOD MORNING,
EVERYONE.
AND THANK YOU FOR COMING TO THIS
WORKSHOP.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED, JUST A
LITTLE BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING.
I PUT DOWN THE POLICY WORKSHOP,
AND I THOUGHT THIS IS A GREAT
WAY FOR OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
INCLUDING ME, I NEVER HAD ONE OF
THESE WORKSHOPS OTHER THAN HALF
A DAY, BUT IT'S A GOOD WAY TO
LEARN HOW TO PUT POLICY TOGETHER
AND REALLY TO BE VERY, AS WE
SAY, FOCUSED ON THE RIGHT WAY
AND THE MEANINGFUL WAY, WHATEVER
THE SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION HAS
GREAT CLASS.
THE ONLY THING IS, AND SHE'LL
COME, BUT THE COST IS $1200.
SO I DIDN'T WANT TO SCHEDULE
THAT UNTIL I GOT CONSENSUS FROM
THE WORD.
SO IF YOU ALL ARE OKAY WITH
THAT.
AND MEMBER SNIVELY, GOOD
MORNING.
ARE YOU THERE?
>>Melissa Snively: GOOD MORNING,
I AM HERE.
>>Lynn Gray: YOU ARE THERE.
ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU CAN HEAR ME.
I AM CALLING ABOUT THIS POLICY
WORKSHOP.
SO CAROL WILSON --
>>Melissa Snively: YES.
(ECHO).
>>Lynn Gray: IT'S GOING TO COST
ABOUT $1200.
SO BOARD MEMBERS, HAVING SAID
THAT, IT WILL BE ABOUT A TWO
HOURS WORKSHOP, NORMAL SETTING.
WOULD YOU ALL LIKE FOR ME TO
PURSUE THAT MEETING?
I'LL PUT A DATE TOGETHER IF YOU
JUST SHAKE YOUR HEADS OR -- THIS
WOULD BE YES, THIS WOULD BE NO.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT.
I KNOW FSBA HAS TRAININGS.
I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE POLICY
TRAINING AT HOWIE IN THE HILLS,
YOU KNOW, THAT COST US MONEY.
I KNOW YOU WENT.
I KNOW KAREN PEREZ WENT.
I KNOW MRS. SNIVELY HAS GONE.
I ENCOURAGE THE NEW BOARD
MEMBERS TO GO.
BUT YOU HAVE ALREADY PAID -- THE
DISTRICT HAS ALREADY PAID FOR
THE MAJORITY OF OUR PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AROUND THIS.
SO I THINK THAT, IN MY OPINION,
THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE THING IS
FOR THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS TO GO
THROUGH FSBA AND DO THE POLICY
TRAINING.
IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.
IT'S FANTASTIC.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF
US HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT.
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
THERE'S A LEARNING CURVE HERE,
BUT I JUST THINK I WOULD PREFER
THAT THAT BE THE COURSE WE WOULD
TAKE.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MEMBER PEREZ
FEELS OR MEMBER SNIVELY BUT I
HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT.
I THINK IT WAS A TWO-DAY
TRAINING ON HOW TO LOOK UP
POLICY, HOW TO WRITE POLICY, HOW
TO UTILIZE RESOURCES ON THE WEB.
IT'S PRETTY EXTENSIVE, AND THE
DISTRICT HAS INVESTED ON THAT SO
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR NEW BOARD
MEMBERS IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY
BEEN ABLE TO DO IT.
>>Lynn Gray: SO THE REASON I
BROUGHT IT UP IS BECAUSE THERE'S
TWO MAIN FUNCTIONS OF A BOARD
MEMBER.
THE PRIORITY IS POLICY MAKING
AND FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
SO I KNOW THAT WE TAKE IT
SERIOUSLY.
AND I'M FINE WITH IT.
I ACTUALLY -- POLICY WORKSHOP,
UNFORTUNATELY, I ONLY GOT HALF A
DAY.
BUT IF YOU ALL WENT THROUGH IT
ALREADY, KAREN, YOU ARE SHAKING
YOUR HEAD, HAVE YOU BEEN THROUGH
IT ALREADY, THE POLICY TWO-DAY
WORKSHOP?
>>Karen Perez: I HAVE.
AND I AGREE.
AS YOU WERE JUST STATING, FISCAL
RESPONSIBILITY IS ONE OF OUR
PRIORITIES, ESPECIALLY RIGHT
NOW.
AND $1200 IS WHAT YOU SAY,
STATING IS THE COST?
THAT'S A LOT, ESPECIALLY SINCE
WE ARE ALREADY PAYING, YOU KNOW,
A FEE FOR THE FSBA AND THAT IS
INCLUDED IN THAT TRAINING THAT
WE RECEIVE.
SO, YOU KNOW, TO PAY AN
ADDITIONAL 1200 FOR A TRAINING
THAT WE ALREADY RECEIVE AS PART
OF THE MEMBERSHIP IN FSBA, I
JUST FEEL IT'S REDUNDANT.
AND THE NEW BOARD MEMBERS, AS WE
DID WHEN WE BECAME NEW BOARD
MEMBERS, WE TOOK THAT TRAINING,
FSBA, AND I FEEL FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE AS A BOARD, AND
THAT'S JUST WHY.
>>Lynn Gray: ALL RIGHT.
>>Henry "Shake" Washington: MADA
M CHAIR, THE $1200, IS THAT
ALREADY PAID, IF WE TAKE IT
THROUGH THE TRAINING, THE
TWO-DAY TRAINING?
>>Lynn Gray: CAROL WILL COME
HERE AND GIVE AN ABBREVIATED
SESSION.
>>Henry "Shake" Washington: FOR
TWO HOURS?
>>Lynn Gray: TWO HOURS.
>>Henry "Shake" Washington: OKAY
>>Lynn Gray: WOULD GIVE AN
ABBREVIATED --
>>Henry "Shake" Washington: BUT
WE DON'T PAY FOR THE TWO FULL
DAYS?
IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?
>>Stacy Hahn: YOU TRAVEL THERE.
THEY MIGHT DO SOME OF IT DURING
THE -- I DON'T KNOW IF THEY DO A
LITTLE OF THAT DURING THE
CONFERENCE AS WELL.
THEY MIGHT.
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M JUST SAYING, I SAT THROUGH
IT.
KAREN SAT THROUGH IT.
>>Lynn Gray: SO --
>>Stacy Hahn: I DON'T THINK YOU
NEED MORE THAN FOUR.
>>Lynn Gray: SO WE WILL GO
AHEAD.
KAREN?
>>Karen Perez: I THINK WHAT
MEMBER WASHINGTON IS ASKING IF
THAT TRAINING IS ALREADY PAID
FOR, AND IT IS THROUGH FSBA.
THOSE TWO DAYS OF TRAINING ARE
ALREADY PAID FOR THROUGH OUR
MEMBERSHIP THROUGH FSBA.
>>Lynn Gray: YEAH, I DIDN'T
REALIZE THAT WE HAVE ALREADY
PAID FOR IT.
BUT AT ANY RATE, BECAUSE I
USUALLY SIGN UP HOWIE IN THE
HILLS.
RIGHT NOW THIS YEAR THEY ARE NOT
HAVING IT AT HOW WHICH IN THE
HILLS.
THEY ARE HAVING BUDGET WORKSHOPS
COMING UP.
BUT AT ANY RATE, THIS IS JUST
EDUCATIONAL DECISION MAKING, AND
SO I HAVE TWO NAYS AND ONE WANT
TO SAY YAY OR NAY?
MEMBER SNIVELY, WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
I KNOW YOU HAVE PROBABLY BEEN
THROUGH IT TWICE, THREE TIMES.
>>Melissa Snively: WELL, I HAVE
BEEN TO THE HOWIE IN THE HILLS
TRAINING.
I THINK THEY HAVE POLICY
TRAINING EARLIER THIS YEAR.
>>Lynn Gray: YES, THAT'S THE ONE
YOU WENT TO, YEAH.
>>Melissa Snively: RIGHT.
RIGHT.
SO FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE THE
TRAINING, I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE
FSBA IS GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER
OPPORTUNITY LIKE THAT.
I DO HILL RECOMMEND IT BECAUSE
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
PARTS OF OUR DUTIES AND
RESPONSIBILITIES AS BOARD
MEMBERS IS TO CREATE POLICY TO
SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS IN THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT.
SO I'M A LITTLE TORN BECAUSE I
THINK THAT IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
ESPECIALLY FOR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
TO TAKE IT AND NOT NECESSARILY
WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT ONE COMES
AROUND, IF IT'S GOING TO BE
ANOTHER, YOU KNOW, YEAR BEFORE
THE NEXT ONE COMES AROUND.
I THINK IT WOULD BE IMPORTANT TO
TAKE IT BEFORE THAT, PROBABLY
HAVE ANOTHER CYCLE OR TWO BEFORE
THAT EVEN HAPPENS.
SO TO ME, IT IS A GOOD
INVESTMENT.
I JUST WISH THAT THEY WOULD
OFFER IT MORE FREQUENTLY.
SO IT WOULD BE WORTH THE
INVESTMENT.
IT WOULD BE WORTH THE $1200 BUT
I DON'T KNOW THAT A WHOLE BOARD
NEEDS IT IF MOST OF US HAVE
ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE
TRAINING.
>>Lynn Gray: I AM REFLECTED AND
REMINDED WHEN I WAS A BOARD
MEMBER THE FIRST TWO YEARS,
MEMBER SNIVELY, I WISH I WOULD
HAVE HAD SOME TRAINING.
I WENT TO ALL THOSE FLORIDA
SCHOOL BOARD ASSOCIATION
MEETINGS, ET CETERA, LIKE WE
ALWAYS DO, BUT I WISH I WAS MORE
ADAPT.
I GUESS I AM JUST SHARING THOSE
EXPERIENCES WITH THOSE BOARD
MEMBERS.
AND STILL TODAY, I FEEL LIKE I
COULD DO BETTER.
I NEED TO LEARN MORE.
WELL, THIS IS ALL NOT ABOUT ME,
SO I AM GOING TO JUST SKIP THAT
OUT.
BUT I'M TORN AS WELL.
>>Jessica Vaughn: IT WOULD BE AN
INVESTMENT IN PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT BUT I DON'T DISAGREE
THAT IT WOULD BE WORTH THE
$1200.
DEFINITELY TO IMPROVE OUR SKILLS
AS POLICYMAKERS.
SO -- GO AHEAD.
>>Lynn Gray: YES, I'M SORRY.
>>Stacy Hahn: LOOK AT THE
SCHEDULE FOR FSBA TO SEE IF THEY
HAVE ANOTHER POLICY TRAINING UP.
>>Lynn Gray: CAROL COOK SAID
THERE'S NOT ONE COMING UP, BUT
THERE IS THE FISCAL, YOU KNOW,
THE FISCAL 101, 102, AND THAT'S
COMING UP, I BELIEVE, IN HOWIE
IN THE HILLS.
THEY HAVE THAT FREQUENTLY.
WHAT THEY DO IS THEY DO A 101.
WHAT IS THE NEXT ONE, SNIVELY?
IS IT 102?
THAT'S SIMPLE.
WANT TO GO RIGHT TO 103.
WELL, WE ARE GOING TO HEAR --
I'M SORRY, GO AHEAD.
SORRY.
>>Melissa Snively: I'M ON LINE
RIGHT NOW BASED ON DOCTOR'S
HAHN'S COMMENT TO SEE IF THEY
HAVE GOT ANYTHING COMING UP OR
ANY WEBINARS.
THEY HAVE SEVERAL WEBINARS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE, AND I WILL
LOOK TO SEE WHAT THEY HAVE FOR
POLICY MAKING AS WELL.
>>Lynn Gray: OKAY.
WE CAN LOOK THAT UP.
MEMBER VAUGHN, WOULD YOU LIKE TO
STRESS AN OPINION?
>>Jessica Vaughn: THANK YOU.
YOU CAME IN A LITTLE BIT LATE TO
THE CONVERSATION SO I THINK
BASICALLY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
WHETHER WE WANT TO HAVE A
WORKSHOP ON MOLES, AND IT SOUNDS
LIKE CAROL COOK WOULD DO IT AND
IT OH WOULD COST $1200.
AND I'M TORN TOO BECAUSE WE WANT
TO BE AS FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE AS
POSSIBLE, BUT I DO THINK THAT
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO TALK
ABOUT POLICY AS A GROUP, FOR ME.
IT'S CHALLENGING SOMETIMES TO
GET TO THOSE TRAININGS WHERE I
HAVE TO STAY OVERNIGHT OR THEY
ARE FAR AWAY.
SO I ALSO THINK IT'S DIFFERENT
WHEN WE DO IT AS A GROUP AND WE
CAN ASK QUESTIONS THAT ARE MORE
REFLECTIVE OF OUR WAY OF WORK AS
WELL AS I THINK IT'S GOOD FOR
OUR COMMUNITIES WHO WATCH OUR
WORKSHOPS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE
POLICY OF CYCLE WORKS AS WELL
AND REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW WE
MAKE DECISIONS AND HOW WE BRING
POLICY FORWARD, AND I KNOW THAT
OUR WORKSHOPS AND OUR BOARD
MEETINGS AREN'T NECESSARILY FOR
PUBLIC CONSUMPTION, BUT IF IT
HELPS OUR COMMUNITY REALLY
UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AND WHY
WE DO IT COLLECTIVELY, I THINK
IT'S A GOOD THING.
SO IS THERE ANY WAY TO NEGOTIATE
THAT PRICE?
>>Lynn Gray: I TRIED, BUT IT'S A
PERSON, BUT, YOU KNOW, THAT'S
ANOTHER THING, TOO, IT'S MORE
PERSONALIZED FOR HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTY, AND TO YOUR POINT, THERE
ARE SOME POLICIES THAT WE HAVE
THAT CAROL WILL ALSO WALK US
THROUGH, TALK TO US ABOUT IT,
QUESTIONS IF YOU WANTED TO ASK
HER, THOSE KIND OF THINGS.
SO WHEN I SAY PERSONALIZED, MORE
DIRECTED FOR HILLSBOROUGH
COUNTY.
VERSUS THE BROADER SCHEME OF
THINGS.
SO YOU ARE GOING TO GET MORE OF,
YOU KNOW, UPFRONT Q AND A
ANY OTHER?
MEMBER COMBS?
>>Nadia Combs: I AGREE WITH
VAUGHN.
>> ARE SOME OF THOSE WORKSHOPS
AVAILABLE VIRTUALLY THAT THEY
WERE RECORDED DURING THE
MEETINGS?
HAVE WE LOOKED INTO THAT?
I MEAN, HAVE WE LOOKED AT -- I
JUST DIDN'T KNOW, BECAUSE IN THE
PAST YEAR, A LOT OF THOSE
MEETINGS WERE RECORDED.
I'M JUST WONDERING IF THE POLICY
101 AND 102 WERE RECORD, IF WE
JUST MODIFY THAT.
BUT I DO THINK IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE ARE LOOKING
AT MANY, MANY POLICY COMING UP
THE NEXT FEW YEARS, AND I DO
THINK, I AGREE WITH MEMBER
VAUGHN THAT I THINK THE
COMMUNITY DOES WANT TO KNOW
THAT, BUT TWO HOURS, HOW MUCH
COULD WE ACCOMPLISH FOR TWO
HOURS?
IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A LONG
PERIOD OF TIME OF THE MAYBE WE
CAN WORK TOGETHER IN-HOUSE WITH
MS. DAVIS ORB MAYBE WITH MR.
PORTER AND MAYBE WE CAN CREATE
SOMETHING INDIVIDUALIZE
SOMETHING.
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT'S JUST AN IDEA.
>>Lynn Gray: THERE ARE SIX
TENETS OF POLICY MAKING AND SHE
WOULD BE GOING OVER THOSE.
AND THEN IF BOARD MEMBERS HAVE
QUESTIONS ABOUT EXISTING
POLICIES OR WHERE WE SHOULD GO,
ALL THAT KIND OF THING, THAT'S
AVAILABILITY.
BUT AT ANY RATE, MEMBER SNIVELY,
ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT WE
SHOULD LOOK AT A CALENDAR TO SEE
IF THERE'S ANY MORE OPPORTUNITY?
>>Melissa Snively: I'M LOOKING.
I DON'T KNOW RIGHT NOW.
>>Stacy Hahn: I LIKE MEMBER
COMBS' IDEA ABOUT DOING
SOMETHING IN-HOUSE THAT'S
SPECIFIC, AND I THINK THAT
HITTING THE PAUSE BUTTON TODAY
ON A FINAL DECISION BECAUSE I
THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS WE
COULD EXPLORE TO BUILD OUT
MEMBER COMBS' IDEA.
MAYBE IF THERE IS A WEBINAR
AROUND THE TEN STEPS OF CREATING
A POLICY, THAT FOLKS COULD WATCH
AHEAD OF TIME, KIND OF GET
CAUGHT UP TO WHERE WE ARE, AND
THEN HAVE KRISTIN AND HER TEAM
COME IN AND THEN REALLY TALK
ABOUT SPECIFIC THINGS LIKE
MEMBER COMBS AND MEMBER VAUGHN
HAD SAID, OUR SPECIFICS IN
HILLSBOROUGH IN-HOUSE.
AND MAYBE THERE'S LIKE A
COMBINATION WE CAN DO WHERE THAT
WAY WHEN WE COME INTO THE
CONVERSATION, WE ALL HAVE A
SIMILAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE
BASICS, LIKE WE ALL HAVE THAT
FOUNDATION, AND THEN WE CAN HAVE
REALLY A MORE IN-DEPTH
CONVERSATION ABOUT POLICIES
SPECIFIC TO HILLSBOROUGH AND OUR
VISION AND FEELINGS ON THAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT --
>>Jim Porter: I THINK WITH THE
BOARD PERMISSION MAYBE SHE AND I
COULD GET TOGETHER BEFORE YOUR
NEXT MEETING, TALK TO CAROL,
TALK ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING AND
COME UP WITH SOMETHING THAT
MIGHT SATISFY THE BOARD'S NEEDS.
>>Stacy Hahn: I THINK THAT'S
GREAT.
AND YES, IT IS IMPORTANT.
MEMBER VAUGHN, YOU BROUGHT UP
SOME GREAT POINTS ABOUT ALL OF
US BEING ON THE SAME PAGE.
BUT I THINK FOR ME, EVERYONE
NEEDS TO KIND OF GET THAT
FOUNDATION SO WE ARE STARTING ON
A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, AND, YOU
KNOW, I THINK IF THERE'S SOME
WEBINARS VIRTUALLY THROUGH FVBA
THAT NEW BOARD MEMBERS COULD
VIEW AHEAD OF TIME, AND THEN WE
GET INTO THE DEEPER CONVERSATION
ABOUT HILZ HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY
AND POLICY, I THINK THAT WOULD
BE REALLY A MORE RICH AND
MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION.
>>Lynn Gray: SO IT LOOKS LIKE
WE'LL MOVE FORWARD WITH GETTING
MORE INFORMATION AND POSSIBLY
DOING IT IN-HOUSE.
BUT NONETHELESS I THINK WE ALL
AGREE THAT IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE
KNOW HOW TO MAKE POLICY, AND
CRITICAL -- AND THIS GOES TO
PORTER AND MS. DAVIS, THAT WE DO
IT ON TIME, ON A REGULAR BASIS,
SO I THINK WE NEED TO BE A BOARD
THAT HAS VERY GOOD NAVIGATIONAL
SKILLS IN HOW TO WRITE POLICY
VERSUS LIKE LAST TIME I THINK WE
CAME UP WITH 12 -- 12, 18
POLICIES, AND IT WAS A LITTLE
BIT OVER THE AMOUNT.
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WANT TO SAY
SOMETHING AND THEN WE ARE GOING
TO START WITH THE AGENDA.
I NEED TO APOLOGIZE.
I DIDN'T KNEE MEAN TO TAKE THAT
MUCH TIME ON THE WORKSHOP.
SO WE'LL GET ALL THE STUFF
FIGURED OUT.
AND JIM, YOU WILL PRESENT IT FOR
US NEXT WORKSHOP OR MAYBE DURING
THE BOARD MEETING.
OKAY.
MS. DAVIS.
>>Kristin Davis: SO FOR NEXT
STEPS, MR. PORTER AND I WILL GET
THEM AND LOOK INTO THE WEBINARS.
WE DO HAVE ON YOUR CALENDAR
JANUARY 25th, A WORKSHOP.
SO MAYBE WE'LL CONSIDER USING
THAT SLOT FOR THIS IN-HOUSE --
AND THAT'S UP TO THE BOARD'S
DECISION IF WE WANT TO USE THAT
SLOT FOR THE IN-HOUSE
PREPARATION, WALK-THROUGH, SOME
REVIEW.
>>Lynn Gray: SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN.
THANKS, BOARD MEMBERS, FOR
INDULGING THAT TIME TO CONSIDER
THE POLICY MAKING WORKSHOP OR
EDUCATIONAL PIECE.
NEXT WE ARE GOING TO GO AHEAD
AND THE PURPOSE OF THE WORKSHOP
IS FOR THE PROCESS OF
REDISTRICTING.
I HAD THOUGHT -- I WANT TO
APOLOGIZE -- THAT WE WERE GOING
TO SHARE AND TALK ABOUT MAPS.
BUT I HAVE FOUND OUT SINCE OUR
SCRIPT REVIEW THAT THAT WAS NOT
TO BE DONE, BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY
THE PUBLIC HASN'T WEIGHED IN, SO
I HAD GIVEN INFORMATION VIA AN
E-MAIL THAT SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE
BEEN SUBTRACTED BECAUSE WE ARE
NOT TALKING ABOUT MAPS TODAY,
OTHER THAN THE PROCESS.
SO WITH THAT, SAID, I KNOW THAT
SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS HAS SOME
THINGS TO PUT TOGETHER, AND
SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS, I WANT TO
THANK YOU, AND THEN JIM PORTER
WILL GO THROUGH THE WHEREWITHAL,
THE GUARDRAILS THAT WE SHOULD
HAVE DURING OUR DISCUSSION.
THIS WILL NOT BE LONG.
WE HAVE A BIG NIGHT TONIGHT, AS
YOU ALL KNOW.
A LOT OF REORG, ET CETERA.
SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS.
>>Addison Davis: YES, MA'AM,
THANK YOU, CHAIR GRAY.
I APPRECIATE IT AND EVERYONE
TODAY.
WE ARE GOING TO JUST TALK ABOUT
A SUMMARY.
WE ALL KNOW WHY WE ARE HERE,
BECAUSE THAT'S A REQUIREMENT TO
LOOK AT BOUNDARIES, IF THERE'S
ANY GREATER THAN 10% DISPARITY
RELATED TO OUR POPULATIONS.
ORIGINALLY WE ASKED THE BOCC TO
PROVIDE US WITH THREE MAPS, FROM
LOOKING AT DIFFERENT
POPULATIONS, THE NUMBER OF
CRITERIA WHICH I WILL TALK ABOUT
IN A MINUTE.
THEY CENTS FOUR MAPS FROM THE
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY'S AGREEMENT
WITH THE GIS AND INFORMATION
SYSTEM LEADERS.
IN THOSE FOUR MAPS WE PRESENTED
TO THE BOARD, THE COMMUNITY AS
WELL.
AND THEN ALSO BEING ABLE TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT WE GET INPUT FROM
OUR COMMUNITY, WHETHER OR NOT
THAT INPUT IS IN OUR CONNECTION
TO THE SAME TOKEN, OUR INPUT IS
PROVIDED ONLINE, ONLINE
PLATFORM, ON OUR WEBSITE, AND
THEN BEING ABLE TO COME TO A
DECISION BY THE END OF DECEMBER
IN 2021.
ALSO, WE SEE THAT WHY THIS IS
HAPPENING, LOOKING AT THE
NUMBERS IN EVERY ONE OF THESE
SINGLE MEMBER BOARD DISTRICTS,
THE NUMBERS SHOW THERE IS A 10%
OR GREATER DISPARITY IN THE
AREAS TO BE ABLE TO USE THIS
INFORMATION AND SHARE TO THE
PUBLIC SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND
THE RATIONALE FOR BEING ABLE TO
MOVE FORWARD IN THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
ONE OF THE BIGGEST THINGS WE
ASKED THE BOCC TO DO WAS TO HAVE
FOUR AREAS TO REALLY FOCUS ON.
THE FIRST ONE IS MAKE CERTAIN
THERE'S CONTINUITY IN THE
COMMUNITY INTEGRITY, KEEPING
NEIGHBORHOODS TOGETHER WITHIN
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AT THE SAME TOKEN BEING ABLE TO
LOOK AT POPULATIONS, SO THE
POPULATION IS REALLY REFLECTIVE
IN APRIL THROUGHOUT OUR SINGLE
BOARD MEMBERS DISTRICTS, AND
THEN BEING ABLE TO MAINTAIN THE
MINORITY DEMOGRAPHIC BALANCE,
MAKING CERTAIN THAT DISTRICT
FIVE HAS A FOUNDATION OF AFRICAN
AMERICANS THAT WE SERVE EVERY
SINGLE DAY.
AND THEN ALSO MAKING CERTAIN WE
LOOK AT ETHNIC BREAKDOWN WITH
ETHNIC AND RACIAL RELATED TO
THAT OVERALL PLATFORM AND
CRITERIA.
SO ONE THING WE HAVE DONE TODAY
RELATED TO THE TIMELINE, WE HAVE
LAUNCHED IT, HAD SPECIAL CALLED
BOARD MEETINGS, WE ASKED BOARD
MEMBERS WHO ARE INTERESTED TO
SEND MAPS, AND THEN WE HAVE ALSO
BEEN ABLE TO PUBLICIZE THIS
INFORMATION TO OUR COMMUNITIES
SO EVERYONE HAS IT.
AND THEN ALSO BEING ABLE TO HAVE
TO DATE TWO COMMUNITY CONNECTION
MEETINGS, THAT WE HAVE HAD AT
SICKLES AND THE SAME THING AT
WHARTON HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL.
AND THEN WE WILL HAVE ANOTHER
ONE TOMORROW NIGHT, AND FOLLOW
UP TO FINALIZE OUR COMMUNITY
CONNECTION MEETINGS, AND WILL
CONTINUE TO HAVE ONGOING
FEEDBACK FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS
TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE RELEVANT
INFORMATION, AND THEN BE
PREPARED FOR DECEMBER 10th
SPECIAL CALLED BOARD MEETING
FINALIZING THIS EFFORT ON
DECEMBER 16th.
WE ASKED BOCC TO BE PRESENT TO
WALK THROUGH THE FOUR MAPS.
THEY WERE UNTO DO SO.
WE LEARNED LATE LAST NIGHT THAT
THEY HAVE A MEETING THAT THEY
ARE GOING THROUGH THIS EVENING
THAT THEY ARE PREPARING FOR, AND
SO AT THIS TIME, ONE THING I
WILL ASK MS. DICKINSON TO DO, IS
THERE ANY HIGHLIGHT, AMBER, THAT
YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO SPEAK TO,
A PARTNERSHIP, WHAT THAT LOOKS
LIKE, AND WHAT WE OBTAINED TO
DATE?
AND MR. FARKAS IS IN LEADERSHIP
FLORIDA TODAY.
HE'S BACK TOMORROW.
>> [ OFF MICROPHONE ] GOOD
MORNING.
WE DO HAVE A SERVICE AGREEMENT
WITH THE GIS DEPARTMENT WITH
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY.
WE HAVE HAD A GREAT
RELATIONSHIP, THE WHOLE TIME I
HAVE BEEN HERE WITH GIS.
THEY HAVE A LOT OF TECHNICIANS,
AND OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE THE DATA
AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE
RUNNING IT FOR THE BOCC, AND
THEY ALSO HAVE THE MODEL.
AGAIN, THOUGH, IF THE PUBLIC OR
ANY SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS HAVE
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
DATA, E-MAIL ME OR CHRIS FARKAS
AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO GET THAT
OVER TO THE COUNTY SO THAT THEY
CAN RESPOND TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU
HAVE DATA RELATED.
AND REALLY THAT'S IT IN A
NUTSHELL.
SO THANK YOU.
>>Lynn Gray: THANK YOU.
>>Addison Davis: AND TO DATE WE
HAVE HAD THREE CONSTITUENTS THAT
ATTENDED SICKLES.
WE ALSO HAD NINE INDIVIDUALS
THAT ATTENDED WHARTON HIGH
SCHOOL FOR A TOTAL OF 12.
THE FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVED
THUS FAR FROM BOTH COMMUNITY
CONNECTION MEETINGS AT THE SAME
TIME FROM THE ONLINE PLATFORM,
THE TWO IN AND OUT RIGHT NOW AND
TWO FOR REFLECTION.
SO WE WILL PROVIDE THAT
INFORMATION TO YOU.
WE HAVE DONE A REALLY GATOR GOOD
JOB TRYING TO COMMUNICATE
AGGRESSIVELY ABOUT OUR MEETINGS.
THERE'S A LIST, AND NEED TO KNOW
WHAT WE HAVE DONE.
I CAN PULL THAT SLIDE UP TO MAKE
CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE BEEN REALLY
AGGRESSIVE WITH COMMUNICATING.
>>Lynn Gray: AND, YOU KNOW,
SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS, WE HAD
THOUGHT, AND MR. PORTER, BOARD
MEMBERS, WE WOULD HAVE A LOT OF
COMMENTS FROM THESE TOWN HALLS,
BUT THE REALITY IS WE HAD VERY
LITTLE COMMENTING DONE ON THE
FIRST ONE AT SICKLES, AND THEN
LAST NIGHT JUST A FEW.
SO WE ARE KIND OF SURPRISED.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING ALSO, BUT
WE DO HAVE -- IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT WE OBVIOUSLY HAVE PUBLIC
INVOLVED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
THANK YOU, SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS.
ARE YOU CONTINUING CONCLUDED?
>>Addison Davis: YES.
>>Lynn Gray: MR. PORTER, WE ARE
HERE ABOUT PROCESS.
CAN YOU GIVE US THE DIRECTION SO
THE BOARD MEMBERS CAN DO THEIR Q
AND A?
>>Jim Porter: THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR, BOARD MEMBERS.
I THINK THE SUPERINTENDENT AND
STAFF HAVE DONE A REALLY GREAT
JOB OF PULLING TOGETHER, AND
THANK HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY FOR
PRODUCING FOUR MAPS FOR US, BUT
IT'S BEEN AN ALL HAND ON DECK
SITUATION AND EVERYONE HAS DONE
THEIR PART.
TODAY'S WORKSHOP IS NOT ABOUT
THE MAPS, WE ARE STILL GETTING
INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC.
YOU WILL HAVE APP OPPORTUNITY TO
DO THAT ON DECEMBER 10.
AND MRS. DAVIS IS GOING TO WALK
YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS THAT WE
WILL USE TO DO THAT.
PRESENT A FINAL VOTE ON DECEMBER
16th.
TWO PARAMETERS THAT YOU JUST
NEED TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN YOU
ARE GOING THROUGH THIS PROCESS.
NUMBER ONE, AS MR. DAVIS SAID AT
THE OUTSET, THERE ARE CERTAIN
LEGAL CRITERIA THAT NEED TO BE
MET IN ORDER TO DO THIS.
FIRST OF ALL YOU NEED TO DO THIS
IN AN ODD NUMBER YEAR SO YOU
NEED TO DO THIS BEFORE THE END
OF THE YEAR.
THE DISTRICT NEEDS TO BE
APPROXIMATELY -- RIGHT NOW THEY
ARE OUT OF WHACK.
SIZEWISE, DISTRICT FIVE NEEDS TO
MAINTAIN ITS BLACK POPULATION OR
GO HIGHER, CAN'T GONE ANY LOWER.
OTHER DISTRICTS NEED TO BE
CONTIGUOUS.
YOU CAN'T -- TO CREATE POCKETS.
WITH THAT BEING SAID, THE MAPS
THAT HAVE BEEN PRODUCED APPEAR
MEET ALL THE LEGAL CRITERIA. SO
IT REALLY COMES DOWN TO YOU ALL,
THE SEVEN OF YOU, TO DECIDE WHAT
YOU WANT THE MAP TO LOOK LIKE.
YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, THE
MAPS CAN BE CHANGE IN THE
FUTURE.
THERE ARE NO EXTRAORDINARY
NOTICE REQUIREMENTS ASSOCIATED
WITH THIS.
YOU DO IT BY RESOLUTION WHICH
WILL BE DONE ON DECEMBER
16th.
SO WE NEED AT LEAST SEVEN DAYS
NOTICE TO PUBLISH THAT.
BUT OTHERWISE, THERE'S THE
FREEDOM TO CHANGE IF YOU NEED TO
DO THAT.
BUT THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN
PUBLIC AND WITH TRANSPARENCY.
SO TODAY, WE ARE BASICALLY
EXPLAINING THE PROCESS FOR YOU
ALL TO REINFORCE IT AND FOR THE
PUBLIC SO THEY UNDERSTAND WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
NO DECISIONS TODAY ON DECEMBER
10th, YOU WILL TAKE THE SIX
MAPS AND DECIDE TO NARROW IT
DOWN TO EITHER 3 OR 2.
AGAIN, THIS IS ALL YOUR
DECISION.
THIS IS THE BOARD DECISION.
THEN ON DECEMBER 16 YOU WILL
VOTE ON ONE OF THE MAPS.
AND THAT WILL BE THE NEW
BOUNDARIES FOR THE DISTRICT.
AND I KNOW THIS HAS COME UP IN
THE PAST.
IF TWO YEARS FROM NOW OR THREE
YEARS FROM NOW, IT APPEARS THAT
YOU NEED TO MAKE ANOTHER CHANGE,
YOU CAN DO IT, IN ODD NUMBER
YEARS.
YOU DON'T NEED TO WAIT FOR A
CENSUS YEAR SO IT CAN BE DONE IN
EVEN NUMBERED YEAR AND IT NEEDS
TO BE DONE THIS YEAR.
>>Lynn Gray: THANK YOU, MR.
PORTER.
MS. DAVIS, DID YOU WANT TO
SHARE?
>>Kristin Davis: FOR THE PURPOSE
OF THE RANKING, YOU MIGHT
REMEMBER WE USE A PROCESS, THE
PROCESS FOR YOUR LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES OVER THE SUMMER, AND
HOW YOU DID THAT, YOU RECEIVE A
SHEET THAT LISTED ALL THE 16
PROPOSED LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
AND YOU RANK THEM 1 TO 16 WITH 1
BEING YOUR TOP PRIORITY, AND
AGAIN 16 BECAUSE THERE WERE 16
PROPOSED PRIORITIES.
SO WE WILL USE -- IF THE BOARD
IS IN AGREEMENT, WE WILL USE THE
SAME PROCESS FOR THE MAPS.
THE PROPOSED MAPS.
BEAL HAVE JUST A SHEET OF PAPER
WITH MAP A, B, C, D, JUST A
LIST, AND THEN YOU WOULD RANK
THEM IN YOUR ORDER OF PREFERENCE
FROM ONE TO SIX.
NUMBER ONE WOULD BE YOU'RE TO
CHOICE.
NUMBER TWO WOULD BE YOUR SECOND
CHOICE.
NUMBER THREE AND SO ON.
AND THEN THE PROPOSAL IS THAT WE
WOULD JUST DO THIS, AS WE DID
BEFORE, I WILL PROVIDE THE SHEET
TO YOU, YOUR SECRETARY.
IF YOU COMPLETE IT, SUBMIT IT
BACK AND THEN I WILL GO AHEAD
AND DO THE RANK ORDER PROCESS
WHERE NUMBERS ARE ASSIGNED.
AGAIN, THIS IS NOT A VOTE.
I WOULDN'T THINK ABOUT LIKE A
VOTE.
THIS IS MORE OF A WAY TO CAPTURE
AND SUMMARIZE YOUR PREFERENCES
AS A GROUP.
SO THIS WAY, YOU CAN SEE, YOU
ARE JUST PUTTING YOUR
PREFERENCES AND THIS IS A GROUP.
>>Jim Porter: AND THAT WILL
HAPPEN ON DECEMBER 10th MS.
DAVIS WILL PRESENT THAT DATA TO
YOU AND YOU WILL HAVE YOUR
RANKING AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT IT.
YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE BOUND BY
THAT, BUT YOU WILL NEAT TO ROAD
ON THE 10th ABOUT WHICH MAP
YOU WILL FORWARD.
>> I HEARD YOU SAY SOMETHING,
THEN SHE SAID SOMETHING, THEN
YOU SEEM TO SAY SOMETHING
DIFFERENT.
SO ON THE 10th WE ARE GOING
TO MEET, WE ARE GOING TO DISCUSS
THE MAPS, LIKE WE ARE GOING TO
SHARE OUR CONCERNS WITH CERTAIN
MAPS, THEN WE ARE GOING TO RANK
THEM AFTER WE GET -- OKAY.
>>Jim Porter: I DO WANT TO
EXPLAIN --
>>Stacy Hahn: SO WHEN WE GO INTO
THE MEETING ON THE 10th WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE IT NARROWED
DOWN TO THREE MAPS, OR TWO.
>>Jim Porter: HAVE DISCUSSION AT
THAT POINT JUST LIKE YOU DID
WITH THE RANKINGS PICKING THE
SUPERINTENDENT.
>>Stacy Hahn: SO WE ARE GOING TO
DISCUSS ALL THE MAPS OR JUST THE
ONES THAT RANKED THE HIGHEST?
>>Jim Porter: UP TO YOU HOW YOU
LIKE TO DO IT.
>>Stacy Hahn: WHY ARE WE RANKING
IT BEFORE THEN?
>>Jim Porter: YOU JUST HAVE IT
TABULATED AHEAD OF TIME.
DO YOU WANT TO EXPLAIN HOW THAT
WORKS?
>>Stacy Hahn: I MIGHT CHANGE MY
MIND AFTER I HEAR PEOPLE'S
DISCUSSION SO WHAT'S THE SENSE
OF DOING IT AHEAD OF TIME?
THE POINT OF THE MAPS THAT ARE
PRESENTED.
>>Jim Porter: AND THIS IS WHY WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE A WORKSHOP.
>>Stacy Hahn: RIGHT, EXACTLY.
>>Jim Porter: YOU WILL HAVE A
STARTING POINT WITH THE
RANKINGS, YOU WILL COME IN AND
HAVE MAP A LISTED NUMBER 1, MAP
B NUMBER 2, A PD THEN WITH YOU
YOU DISCUSSING IT YOU MIGHT
CHANGE THAT.
NOW WE DON'T HAVE TO DO IT THIS
WAY.
WE CAN HAVE THREE RANK
DISCUSSION.
WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE MORE
EFFICIENT.
BUT IF THE BOARD DOESN'T LIKE
THIS, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO DO
IT.
BUT IT NEEDS TO BE UNDERSTOOD
THAT THE RANK IS NOT THE VOTE,
IT'S JUST WHAT THE BOARD LOOKS
LIKE GOING IN.
IF YOU ARE --
>>Stacy Hahn: IT'S NOT THE
OFFICIAL VOTE BUT IT'S
CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, GOING TO
INFLUENCE THE DISCUSSION.
>>Jim Porter: BUT IF YOU WILL
RECALL WHEN THE SUPERINTENDENT'S
ELECTION WAS HAPPENING, YOU HAD
OFFICIAL RANKINGS, AND THEN YOU
DID INTERVIEWS, AND THAT
CHANGED.
>>Stacy Hahn: OKAY.
>>Jim Porter: IT'S THE SAME SORT
OF THOUGHT PROCESS.
YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME SORT OF
OBJECTIVE STARTING POINT.
I GUESS IT'S SUBJECTIVE.
IT'S SUBJECTIVE ABOUT WHICH MAP
YOU LIKE.
ONCE YOU GET THERE, YOU HAVE A
DISCUSSION, AND MAIN YOU ARE
INFLUENCED BY SOMETHING THAT WAS
SAID AND YOU CHANGE YOUR
RANKING.
OR WE CAN DO IT ON THE 107th
AND JUST YOU ALL HAVE A
DISCUSSION.
WE THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO BE PROVIDE SOME
STRUCTURE.
BUT IF THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT
YOU LIKE, THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO
DO THAT.
>>Stacy Hahn: SO WE RANK, WE GO
IN, WE DISCUSS, AND THEN WE ARE
GOING TO GO IN THAT MEETING,
RANK THEM AGAIN?
>>Jim Porter: WOULD MAKE A
MOTION TO SAY, I MOVE THAT WE
TAKE FORWARD MAP A AND B.
>>Stacy Hahn: OKAY.
SO I WILL LET EVERYONE ELSE
CHIME IN.
>>Lynn Gray: RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS
LIKE WE ARE LOOKING AT STRUCTURE
VERSUS DECEMBER 10th
DISCUSSION FOR ALL OF THEM.
SO YOU ARE PRESENTING A PROCESS
THAT HAS STRUCTURE, BASICALLY.
>>Jim Porter: IF THE BOARD
DOESN'T LIKE IT, WE WILL FOLLOW
ANOTHER PROCESS.
WE WANT TO HAVE CLARITY.
THAT'S SORT OF WHY WE ARE HAVING
A DISCUSSION TODAY.
>>Lynn Gray: OKAY.
MEMBER VAUGHN.
>>Jessica Vaughn: THANK YOU.
I LOVE THE -- I'M A BIG FAN OF
THAT.
I THINK IT HELPS START THE
CONVERSATION.
MY QUESTION IS, WHY ARE WE
HAVING TWO MEETINGS NOW ON THE
MAP?
WHY CAN'T WE ON THE 10th
CHOOSE A MAP?
WHY DO WE HAVE TO MARCH IT L IT
DOWN TO TWO?
IS THERE TIMING AND ADVERTISING?
IT SEEMS A LOT TO HAVE TWO
MEETINGS TO NARROW IT DOWN TO
TWO.
IF WE ALREADY HAVE THREE, AND I
KNOW THE LAST MEETINGS ON MEMBER
PEREZ, IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE
JUST ONE MEETING TO DO THIS?
OR IS THERE A REASON THAT WE ARE
HAVING TWO THAT I AM NOT AWARE
OF?
>>Jim Porter: THERE'S NO LEGAL
REASON WHY YOU HAVE TO HAVE TWO
MEETINGS, ENOUGH TIME AND SPACE
FOR YOU ALL TO HAVE A FULL
DISCUSSION, AND IF THAT'S THE
BOARD'S WISH, THEN --
>> SORRY.
IS IT A POSSIBILITY WHEN WE GET
TO THE 10th MEETING WITH THE
RANKED CHOICE VOTING, CAN WE
MAKE A MOTION AT THAT POINT, IF
WE FEEL LIKE WE HAVE NARROWED IT
DOWN, CAN WE TURN THAT MEETING
INTO THE OFFICIAL MEETING AND
PICK A MAP IF WE WANT TO, OR IS
THAT NOT POSSIBLE?
>>Jim Porter: YOU CAN DO -- THE
BOARD'S DIRECTION IF YOU WANT
THE MYSELF TO DO THAT, WE'LL
ADVERTISE THAT THE WAY AND IF
IT'S NOT DONE WE'LL HAVE
DECEMBER 16th AS A BACKUP.
IT CAN'T BE DONE ON THE FLY.
>>Jessica Vaughn: THANK YOU.
>>Lynn Gray: SO I'M WRITING DOWN
THE CONCERNS.
MEMBER VAUGHN SHARED WHY DO WE
HAVE TWO MEETINGS, POSSIBILITY
IS WE CAN DO IT IN ONE, BUT WE
HAVE TO HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL
WARNING SYSTEMS TO APPLY TO THAT
CHOICE.
MEMBER HAHN?
>>Stacy Hahn: THANK YOU.
SO I UNDERSTAND THE RANKING
PROVIDES STRUCTURE.
I'M FINE WITH THAT.
OBVIOUSLY THAT CONVERSATION IS
GOING TO BE AROUND THREE MAPS,
MAYBE EVEN FOUR MAPS, AND THAT'S
GOING TO BE A PRETTY HEFTY
CONVERSATION.
ONCE WE NARROW IT DOWN TO TWO,
THEN I WOULD FEEL MORE
COMFORTABLE COME BACK FOR A
SECOND MEETING, AND THEN REALLY
FOCUSING AND ZOOMING IN VERY
CONCENTRATED CONVERSATION AROUND
THOSE TWO MAPS TO GET TO THE ONE
MAP.
MY CONCERN FROM THE BEGINNING IS
SOME OF OUR CONSTITUENTS, THIS
FEELING THAT THIS IS BEING
RUSHED AND PUSHED THROUGH, AND
IF WE CANCEL THAT MEETING AND
SAY, WELL, WE ARE JUST GOING TO
TALK ABOUT IT IN TWO HOURS AND
MAKE A DECISION, THAT FEELS VERY
RUSHED TO ME.
AND I THINK THAT WOULD BE
PERCEIVED THAT WAY FROM THE
COMMUNITY.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT DECISIONS WE ARE GOING
TO MAKE.
I'M SORRY IT'S ON YOUR BIRTHDAY.
I AM.
AND I AM HAPPY TO MOVE IT.
BUT THAT CAN'T BE A
CONSIDERATION.
AND BUT WE'LL CELEBRATE YOU LIKE
CRAZY, I PROMISE.
[ LAUGHTER ]
WE'LL MAKE IT WORTH YOUR WHILE.
BUT I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THIS
CONVERSATION IS GOING TO BE
WEIGHTED, AND WE NEED TO HAVE
SPACE TO HAVE IT.
AND TO SAY, WELL, WE'LL JUST
MAKE THAT DECISION IN ONE
MEETING, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE
WITH THAT.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR THE SPACE
AND THE TIME.
I KNOW IT'S THE HOLIDAYS.
I KNOW EVERYONE IS BUSY.
I'M BUSY AS WELL.
BUT I'M RESPECTFULLY ASKING MY
COLLEAGUES FOR THE SPACE, ONE
EXTRA DAY, TO MAKE THIS
DECISION.
THANK YOU.
>>Lynn Gray: THANK YOU, MEMBER
HAHN.
SO WHAT I AM HEARING IS WE HAVE
TWO YES FOR STRUCTURE, MR.
PORTER, AND MEMBER HAHN WOULD
PREFER TO HAVE THE ENTIRE
LAID-OUT PROCESS THAT WE ALREADY
HAVE, IN TERMS OF MEETINGS.
OKAY.
MEMBER COMBS WAS NEXT.
AND THEN MEMBER WASHINGTON.
AND MEMBER SNIVELY, JUST SOMEONE
WILL TELL ME WHEN YOU WANT TO
SPEAK, I HOPE.
PABLO WILL.
OKAY.
GO AHEAD.
>> I AGREE WITH MEMBER HAHN
BECAUSE I DO THINK -- I'M A
REFLECTIVE PERSON SO I THINK THE
RANKING IN THE BEGINNING WOULD
BE GREAT.
LET'S BRING IT DOWN TO TWO OR
THREE MAPS, REALLY HAVE A
DISCUSSION, AND AT THE END OF
THE DISCUSSION CHOOSE TWO OR
THREE, AND THEN IT GIVES US A
WEEK ALMOST TO GO OUT TO HEAR
FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS AND THEN
MAKE A DECISION ON THE 16th.
SO I THINK TWO MEETINGS WOULD
JUST ENSURE THAT ANYBODY WHO
REALLY HAS INPUT WILL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THAT
INPUT.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE ARE NOT
HAVING MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE
ATTENDING THESE MEETINGS.
MY ONLY CONCERN IS IF YOU ARE
NOT HEARING FROM ANYONE, OR
RECEIVING TEXTS, AND THEN IF
PEOPLE ARE UNHAPPY WITH A MAP,
AND THEN THEY ARE GOING TO COME
OUT IN DROVES.
SO I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
TO JUST CONTINUE TO ENGAGE
EVERYBODY TO ATTEND THESE
MEETINGS, TO LOOK AT THE MAPS,
AND THEN MAKE A DECISION,
BECAUSE WE DO HAVE TO MAKE A
DECISION THIS YEAR.
>>Lynn Gray: THANK YOU, MEMBER
COMBS.
SO WHAT I AM HEARING TOO IS THAT
YOU WANT THE STRUCTURE, YET YOU
WANT THE FULL AMOUNT OF
MEETINGS.
OKAY.
THERE'S CONSENSUS THAT'S GOING
TO BE -- I'M PUTTING MY CHECK
MARKS.
MEMBER WASHINGTON.
>>Henry "Shake" Washington: I
AGREE WITH MEMBER HAHN.
WE HAVE TO HAVE TIME, BECAUSE
YOU SAID A REALLY IMPORTANT
POINT THERE, MEMBER HAHN.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT DECISIONS WE ARE GOING
TO MAKE.
AND WHEN BEE MAKE IT, IT HAS TO
BE CORRECT, BECAUSE WE HAVE TO
KEEP THAT STRUCTURE IN.
AND I DON'T WANT TO RUSH IT,
BECAUSE LIKE I WAS THINKING LAST
NIGHT, I STAYED UP A LONG TIME
LAST NIGHT THINKING, WE MAY HAVE
TO COMPROMISE.
I MEAN, SOME OF THOSE MAPS I AM
ABLE MAY WANT TO CHANGE, ADD.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE TIME.
SO I AGREE WITH YOU, MEMBER
HAHN, WE NEED THOSE TWO MEETINGS
SO WE CAN MAKE IT RIGHT AND BE
CORRECT WHEN WE MAKE THAT FINAL
DECISION.
>>Lynn Gray: OKAY.
WE HAVE ANOTHER YAY FOR THE
STRUCTURE AND FOR THE TWO
MEETINGS.
MEMBER SNIVELY IS ON THERE.
MEMBER PEREZ, SHE WILL GO AND
THEN WE'LL PUT YOU ON.
MEMBER SNIVELY.
>>Melissa Snively: THANK YOU.
YES, GREAT POINT BY ALL THE
BOARD MEMBERS.
I WOULD AGREE THAT THE MORE TIME
THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS THESE,
THE BETTER, LIKE DR. HAHN SAID.
THESE ARE NOT JUST ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT DECISIONS WE WILL
MAKE BUT IT COULD POTENTIALLY
LAST A DECADE IF WE DON'T CHANGE
IT IN THE FUTURE LIKE MR. PORTER
ALLUDED TO THE POSSIBILITY.
SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT DECISION
TO MAKE.
I STILL THINK THAT WE SHOULD
HAVE TAKEN OUR TIME, BUT I KNOW
THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY THE
DIRECTION THE BOARD WANTED TO
GO.
BUT I WILL PUT IT OUT THERE, AND
MR. PORTER CAN CORRECT ME IF I
AM WRONG, IF WE DO GET TO THE
END OF THE YEAR, BECAUSE REALLY,
DECEMBER 16th IS NOT THE END
OF THE YEAR, OKAY.
SO WE HAVE GIVEN OURSELVES ABOUT
45 DAYS TO GET THIS DONE, NOT 60
DAYS.
45 DAYS.
AND IF WE GET TO THE 45th
DAY AND DRAG IT OUT TO THE END
OF THE YEAR OR EVEN CONSIDER
MOVING IT TO 2023, THAT'S STILL
A POSSIBILITY.
AND I KNOW THERE ARE RISKS
INVOLVED IN BOTH WAITING AND
RISK INVOLVED IN DOING IT NOW.
BUT THAT IS A POSSIBILITY TO
HAVE MORE TIME TO ENGAGE THE
COMMUNITY, BECAUSE THESE TOWN
HALLS THAT WE ARE HAVING, YOU
ARE ONLY GETTING LIKE THREE,
FIVE, TEN PEOPLE COMING TO THESE
TOWN HALLS.
EVEN THOUGH I KNOW THE
SUPERINTENDENT IS PUSHING OUT
INFORMATION AS HARD AS HE CAN.
THE COMMUNITY IS NOT ENGAGING
RIGHT NOW.
AND A LOT OF IT IS COULD BE
DISTRACTION, COULD BE HOLIDAY,
COULD BE VARIOUS THINGS.
SO IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING OR
DISHEARTENING, I SHOULD SAY,
THAT WE ARE HAVING ALL THESE
MEETINGS, AND MORE STAFF IS
SHOWING UP THAN CONSTITUENTS TO
THESE TOWN HALLS.
SO I'M STILL A PROPONENT OF
TAKING OUR TIME.
I GUESS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY,
MS. GRAY, I AGREE, TAKE AS MANY
MEETINGS AS WE NEED TO TAKE TO
GET THIS ACCOMPLISHED, BUT DON'T
BE AFRAID IF WE HAVE TO PUSH IT
A LITTLE FURTHER AND THEN VOTING
IN 2023 IF WE REALLY WANT TO
ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY IN THESE
CONVERSATIONS ON THIS VERY
IMPORTANT DECISION WE ARE
MAKING.
THANK YOU.
>>Lynn Gray: THANK YOU, MEMBER
SNIVELY.
SO I AM PUTTING DOWN THAT YOU DO
WANT THE STRUCTURE, YOU DO WANT
AT LEAST THE TWO MEETINGS, AND
THE POSSIBILITY OPEN IT UP FOR A
CONTINUANCE TO 2023.
SO I HAVE THAT WRITTEN DOWN AS
WELL.
THANK YOU.
WE HAVE MEMBER PEREZ AND
FOLLOWED BY MEMBER PEREZ WILL BE
MEMBER HAHN.
>>Karen Perez: JUST FOR THE
RECORD, I DON'T MIND SPENDING MY
BIRTHDAY WITH MY BOARD MEMBERS,
JUST FOR THE RECORD.
I THINK YOU GUYS ARE A FUN
GROUP.
[ LAUGHTER ]
SO JUST FOR THE SAKE OF
INFORMATION, CAN YOU EXPLAIN HOW
ARE THESE MAPS ARRANGED?
BEFORE THEY GET TO US?
WHO RANKS THEM?
>> THEY ARE NOT RANKED.
>> BUT HOW DO THEY GET RANKED
BEFORE THEY GET TO US?
>>Jim Porter: YOU WILL BE THE
ONLY ONE RANKING THEM.
NO ONE ELSE -- [OFF MICROPHONE.]
>>Karen Perez: OKAY, PERFECT.
AND SO THEN THE FINAL VOTE IS ON
THE 16th.
>>Jim Porter: FINAL VOTE ON THE
16th.
>>Karen Perez: WHEN DOES IT GO
INTO EFFECT?
>>Jim Porter: IT WILL GO INTO
EFFECT IMMEDIATELY, BEFORE THE
END OF THE YEAR, AND I HAVE BEEN
IN CONTACT WITH THE ASSUMPTION
ADVICE OR OF ELECTIONS.
HE JUST NEEDS OUR MAP, SO WE
WOULD -- YOU WILL VOTE ON THE
16th.
WE HAVE TO PUBLISH IT FOR 30
DAYS AND PUT IT OUT FOR 30 DAYS
AND IMMEDIATELY ACCEPTED IT TO
IT SUPERVISION OR OF ELECTIONS
SO IT WILL AFFECT THE 2022 CYCLE
FOR ELECTIONS.
>>Karen Perez: SO BETWEEN NOW --
SO THIS -- THIS MEETING TODAY WE
WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE -- THE
GIS, THE COUNTY COMMISSION, BUT
THEY DIDN'T --
>>> THEY ARE ALL AVAILABLE.
THEY ARE ALL ONLINE.
PREPARED BY THE COUNTY.
THOSE ARE ALL AVAILABLE.
WE CAN MAKE COPIES IF YOU WANT
THEM.
BUT THEY ARE ONLINE.
THEN TWO MAPS THAT ARE ALSO
AVAILABLE.
SO THERE ARE SIX MAPS TOTAL.
THOSE ARE ALL PUBLIC RECORD.
THEY ARE ALL AVAILABLE FOR THE
PUBLIC.
THEY HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO THE
PUBLIC AT THE TOWN HALL
MEETINGS.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE COPIES, THE
SUPERINTENDENT WILL BE HAPPY TO
MAKE COPIES FOR YOU.
BUT THEY ARE ALL AVAILABLE NOW.
>>Karen Perez: AND IT'S NOT TO
SAY THAT IF WE HAD MEETINGS,
LET'S SAY IN THE MIDDLE OF MARCH
NEXT YEAR, THAT MORE THAN THREE
PEOPLE WOULD HAVE SHOWED UP,
CORRECT?
>>Addison Davis: WE CAN JUST
CONTINUE TO COMMUNICATE AND WE
HAVE DONE AGGRESSIVELY TO MAKE
SURE THAT CONSTITUENTS WERE
INVOLVED.
>>Karen Perez: SO THE MAPS ARE
AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE, PEOPLE
CAN SEE THEM.
IT'S NOT LIKE THEY HAVE TO GET
TO THE MEETING IN ORDER TO SEE
THE MAPS.
CORRECT?
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
JUST WANT TO PUT THAT OUT THERE.
ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
THANK YOU.
>>Lynn Gray: MEMBER PEREZ, SO
ARE YOU WITH THE IDEA THAT YOU
WANT THE STRUCTURE AND THE FULL
TWO MEETINGS?
>>Karen Perez: YES, WITH THE
FINAL VOTE BEING DECEMBER
16th.
>>Lynn Gray: THANK YOU.
MEMBER HAHN FOLLOWED BY MEMBER
VAUGHN, AND AFTER MEMBER HAHN,
IF DON'T MIND, I AM GOING TO
WEIGH IN BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET A
CHANCE TO WEIGH IN YET.
SO GO AHEAD, MEMBER HAHN.
>>Stacy Hahn: TWO THINGS THAT I
HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT MY
COLLEAGUES BROUGHT UP, AND I
THINK YOU ARE RIGHT, AFTER WE
HAVE THAT FIRST INITIAL
DISCUSSION ON THE 10th, I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING
TO START WANTING TO CHIME IN AND
PROVIDE -- I THINK WE ARE GOING
TO SEE LARGER NUMBERS OF
CONSTITUENTS WANTING TO PROVIDE
THEIR INPUT.
SO I AGREE WITH YOU ON THAT.
I THINK RIGHT NOW IT IS QUIET.
PEOPLE ARE GOING INTO THE
THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY.
THEY ARE FOCUSED ON THAT.
AND THEIR FAMILIES, AS THEY
SHOULD BE.
BUT I DO THINK ONCE WE ARE KIND
OF AFTER THANKSGIVING AND WE
HAVE THAT FIRST INITIAL
DISCUSSION AND PRESENT THE MAPS
AND THE RANKING, PEOPLE ARE
GOING TO BE PAYING ATTENTION,
AND THEY ARE DEFINITELY GOING TO
COME OUT MORE SO THAN THEY ARE
NOW.
SO I DON'T WANT -- YOU KNOW, I
AM NOT LOOKING AT THE CURRENT
ATTENDANCE AT THESE MEETINGS AS
PEOPLE AREN'T INTERESTED.
I JUST THINK THEY ARE VERY
FOCUSED ON THEIR FAMILIES AS
RIGHTLY SO RIGHT NOW THIS TIME
OF YEAR.
MEMBER WASHINGTON BROUGHT OUT
THE FACT THAT WE MIGHT WANT TO
MAKE CHANGES TO THE MAPS.
THERE IS NOTHING -- IT MAY NOT
BE -- THE FINAL MAP MAY NOT BE
ANY ONE OF THE MAPS THAT ARE
THERE RIGHT NOW, BECAUSE WE ALL
MAY WANT TO AMEND A MAP OR TWO
IN A CERTAIN WAY.
SO WE'LL NEED TIME TO DO THAT.
WE COULD HAVE THAT DISCUSSION ON
THE 10th AND SAY WE WANT TO
AMEND THIS MAP OR THAT MAP, AND
THEN THE GIS FOLKS ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO GO BACK AND MAKE THOSE
CHANGES, AND THEN WE ARE GOING
TO HAVE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION ON
THE 16th.
SO THERE'S NOTHING TO SAY THAT
ANY ONE OF THE MAPS WE ARE
LOOKING AT TODAY WILL BE THE
FINAL MAP, AND I THINK LOOKING
AT THE BOCC PROCESS, YOU CAN SEE
HOW MANY ITERATIONS OF MAPS THEY
HAVE GONE THROUGH, AND SO I
APPRECIATE YOU KIND OF BRINGING
THAT UP BECAUSE THAT WAS
SOMETHING, AND I WOULD LIKE,
KIND OF CLOSING OUT THIS
DISCUSSION, TO MAYBE TALK A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT MR. PORTER
ABOUT THE PROCESS IF WE DO WANT
TO AMEND MAPS, AND IF THAT COMES
OUT OF THE NEXT MEETING WHAT
THAT PROCESS WOULD LOOK LIKE.
SO THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE IT.
>>Jim Porter: THESE ARE GOOD
POINTS.
I THIS I STRICTLY THE LEGAL
POSITION IS AS LONG AS WE HAVE
SEVEN DAYS NOTICE ON THE AGENDA,
THEN WE SATISFIED THE LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS.
THERE ARE SOME PRACTICAL AND
LOGISTICAL REQUIREMENTS TO
CONSIDER.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE CHANGES TO
THE MAP I THINK THERE ARE TWO
WAYS TO DO IT.
IF BOARD MEMBERS SUBMITTED A MAP
AND WANTED TO AMEND THAT MAP OR
WITHDRAW THE MAP THAT BOARD
MEMBER COULD DO THAT AND PUT IT
BACK INTO THE HOPPER.
YOU ALL COULD HAVE A DISCUSSION
ON THE 10 N AND COME TO A VOTE
ABOUT WHAT AMENDMENT TO A
CERTAIN MAP WOULD LOOK LIKE.
WE JUST NEED TO DO IT IN ENOUGH
TIME SO WE CAN RUN IT AND MAKE
SURE IT MEETS ALL THE LEGAL
CRITERIA, SO IT MEETS ALL THE
ISSUES THAT, OR ALL THE CRITERIA
THAT I MENTIONED AT THE OUTSET.
ON THE 10th I THINK WE COULD
HAVE A MORE REALISTIC TIMELINE
OF WHAT THAT LOOKS LIKE.
BUT AGAIN, YOUR TAKE AWAY TODAY,
THIS IS YOUR MAP.
THE SEVEN OF YOU ARE THE ONES
THAT ARE GOING TO BE THE ONLY
ONES THAT REALLY MATTER IN WHAT
IT LOOKS LIKE.
IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE IT AND YOU
ALL AGREE TO CHANGE IT, IT WILL
BE CHANGED.
YOU JUST HAVE TO DO IT IN ENOUGH
TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT IT CAN BE
VETTED AND MEET LEGAL CRITERIA.
I THINK ON THE 10th THAT
WOULD BE A VERY GOOD USE OF YOUR
TIME, IF THERE ARE CHANGES, YOU
MAYBE NARROW IT DOWN AND THEN
DECIDE, WELL, I LIKE MAP HA BUT
I THIS I THIS SHOULD HAPPEN, OR
IF YOU SUBMITTED A MAP AND
WANTED TO MAKE CHANGES, I THINK
THAT'S THE OTHER WAY TO DO IT.
>>Lynn Gray: OKAY.
THANK YOU, MR. PORTER.
AND MY QUESTION REAL QUICK,
SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS, WHEN IS
OUR NEXT TOWN HALL?
WHAT DATE IS IT?
>>Addison Davis: IT IS TOMORROW
NIGHT.
>>Lynn Gray: TOMORROW NIGHT.
I AM JUST CURIOUS IF WE GET MORE
FEEDBACK.
DO WE GET A CHANCE TO BE SEE
THIS FEEDBACK AS SOON AS IT'S
AVAILABLE?
DO BOARD MEMBERS GET THERE?
>>Addison Davis: WE CAN MAKE IT
AVAILABLE AS SOON AS WE CAN.
IT'S ONLINE.
I CAN GIVE YOU A COPY AS WELL
BUT ANYTHING TOMORROW NIGHT WITH
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS OR ANY
FEEDBACK WE CAN PUSH IT SO IT
CONTINUES TO STAY RELEVANT AND
MY OTHER QUESTION, DR. HAHN MADE
A REALLY GOOD POINT, THAT ONCE
MAPS ARE IDENTIFIED ON THE
10th OF DECEMBER, DO WE WANT
TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE FEEDBACK
WITH THE COMMUNITY OPEN AND IF
SO HOW LONG?
WE HAVE A MEETING ON THE
16th.
WE WANT TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT
EACH OF YOU GET A CHANCE TO
REVIEW THAT INFORMATION, SO WE
CAN LEAVE IT OPEN TO THE
14th, OR A DIFFERENT DATE,
AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT
INFORMATION IS DRAWN DOWN AND
PUSH BACK TO EACH OF YOU SO YOU
ARE PREPARED FOR THE 16th
AND MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION.
>>Jim Porter: THE OTHER PIECE OF
THAT, TO PLAY OFF OF THAT, THERE
WILL BE PUBLIC COMMENT AT
BOTH -- THE PUBLIC WILL HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY AT BOTH MEETINGS
BECAUSE YOU WILL BE VOTING SO
THERE WILL BE PUBLIC COMMENT AT
BOTH MEETINGS.
THAT'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR
THE PUBLIC TO WEIGH IN.
>>Lynn Gray: AND WE HAVE RIGHT
NOW I THINK 16 PUBLIC COMMENT
REDISTRICTING POSSIBLY FOR THE
SCHOOL BOARD MEETING TONIGHT.
BUT IN A NUTSHELL -- AND I WILL
BE VERY BRIEF -- I AGREE THAT
THE STRUCTURE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
KEEPS IT OBJECTIVE.
KEEPS IT FAIR.
KEEPS US RIGHT ON TASK.
ALSO, THE PUBLIC WILL APPRECIATE
THE STRUCTURE, BECAUSE THEY WILL
WANT TO KNOW THE BOTTOM LINE.
SECONDLY, I DO AGREE THAT THE
TWO MEETINGS ARE NECESSARY.
THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN
ADVERTISED AND I THINK THE
PUBLIC, MANY OF THOSE FOLKS WILL
EXPECT THAT, AND LIKE YOU SAID,
SUPERINTENDENT DAVIS, PUBLIC
COMMENT DURING OUR SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING ALSO WILL GIVE
ANOTHER -- I WANT TO SAY FOR
LACK OF A BETTER WORDS, VENTING
OPPORTUNITY.
IF PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED OR IF
PEOPLE HAVE A BETTER IDEA,
ET CETERA.
BUT AT ANY RATE, WE ARE GOING TO
GO AHEAD AND GO THROUGH THE
PROCESS, IT LOOKS LIKE.
MEMBER VAUGHN, YOU WANTED TO
SPEAK ON THIS.
AND LET'S GO AHEAD AND HEAR YOUR
REMARKS.
>>Jessica Vaughn: THANK YOU.
I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTS ON
HAVING SEVERAL MEETINGS.
I AM NOT OPPOSED IF THAT'S WHAT
THE BOARD WANTS TO DO. IF WE
THINK WE ARE GOING TO GET MORE
ENGAGEMENT I THINK WE SHOULD
HAVE AS MUCH COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT AS POSSIBLE.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT YOU THINK
THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE BECAUSE
I WENT TO MY TOWN HALL MEETING
LAST NIGHT AND PEOPLE WERE STILL
EVEN AT THAT MEETING CONFUSED
ABOUT WHETHER WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT REDISTRICTING BOARD
MEMBERS FOR ACTUAL SCHOOL
BOUNDARIES AND IF IT WAS GOING
TO AFFECT THEIR CHILDREN'S
SCHOOL.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE
ENGAGEMENT AND I HOPE THAT YOU
ARE RIGHT, AFTER THANKSGIVING OF
THAT WE GET SOME FEEDBACK ON
THIS.
THE QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU, MR.
PORTER, IS I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU
SAY THAT EVEN IF WE GO THROUGH
THIS PROCESS THAT WE CAN REDO IT
AGAIN ON -- YOU SAID THAT?
>>Jim Porter: ALLOWS THE BOARD
TO REDRAW THEIR DISTRICT
BOUNDARIES IN ANY ODD-NUMBERED
YEAR.
SO THREE YEARS FROM NOW -- OR
TWO YEARS FROM NOW IF YOU FELT
YOU WANTED TO GO THROUGH THIS
AGAIN IF YOU WANTED TO.
>>Jessica Vaughn: OKAY, THANK
YOU.
>>Lynn Gray: MEMBER WASHINGTON
SAYS NO WAY.
BUT AT ANY RATE, BOARD MEMBERS,
IF THERE'S NOT ANY MORE REMARKS,
MEMBER SNIVELY, DID YOU WANT TO
MAKE ANOTHER REMARK?
>>Melissa Snively: NO, BUT THANK
YOU.
APPRECIATE IT.
>>Lynn Gray: ALL RIGHTY.
BOARD MEMBERS, I THINK WE HAVE
CONSENSUS.
MR. PORTER, STRUCTURE IS VERY
CRITICAL, AND ALSO THE
FULL-FLEDGED MEETINGS.
AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO
HEARING FROM SUPERINTENDENT
DAVIS, HIS NOTES ON THE NEXT
TOWN HALL, AND SEE IF -- WHERE
ARE WE HAVING THE TOWN HALL?
LENNARD.
OKAY.
SO SOUTH COUNTY.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANY MORE
REMARKS.
THANK YOU, BOARD MEMBERS.
AND WE WILL SEE YOU THIS
EVENING.
BIG-TIME SITUATION COMING UP
TONIGHT.
STAY TUNED.
ADJOURNED.
