Berlin this issue cuz I had a parent call me been working for over a month with a school dealing with special ed student and all of a sudden first grade student who is being expelled three times and and not being promoted based on behavior and to me that should have been some internet intervention somewhere in the line on the 1st and they and I have insurance but the letter was dated June 4th and a parent received a letter today special delivery so I want a second this Burrows motion yes Miss Montgomery engine make a suggestion just pass on the item no need to make a motion to you have to reconsider and everything else I'm in the agenda is simply pass on an item if you are wanted for introduction on tonight whatever subsequent board meeting place it back on can I ask you a question about that so I hear what you're saying my only concern is what what does it mean to us if we don't turn it is can somebody answer that question what does it mean if we don't turn it in on July 1st can we ask for an extension due to this circumstance and turn it in and I'm just saying is that a positive today is June 13th all of them ask me that if we need to call a special meeting just to adopt this but it was going to just go ahead on and just make parents and here to this policy without any M public meeting I'm saying someone may have concerned about it thing is I don't know if we can get a public meeting for people to be aware of wire and get it all fixed before the first so I'm just saying if we're going to do that is there a way that we can ask the state we close the meeting Monday by Lee White lawyers only have the only require give a 24-hour notice okay in terms of meeting and any other questions cuz I have a question are we going to do in the meantime I mean where we're going to if we're going or not we're not going to discuss this in between now and the next meeting what are we going to do with this information we're just going to just hold it over and have another meeting can I still haven't read anything about it or met again or brought the committee together what's what's been so the committee is already met in and pray which came to a consensus on the changes but like with Miss Betty said if it wasn't made public I don't know if it was put on the website Mr Sanders I'm not sure if it is on the website so now at least parents will be able to go in on the website in view of the changes in and make comment okay anyway I think we going to have to have a special meeting because we miss trosclair contract I want some daddy's decided to board the board is going to have to vote on our contract so we still going to have to have a special meaning in the near future in an hour what's the timeline with looking at to have especially whenever we got to work Roderick I think we need to again make sure that there is some point and some validity in passing on this this motion so if we are going to do that then we need to at least give me have another public meeting or had the committee meet again where the public can come in because if we're not going to do that then it's pointless to pass it up instead of what you require an action is for introduction only when we meet whenever to vote on misc contract deal we can turn around and put this on a sandwich in the concern is that it wasn't a meeting open to the public to discuss a progression plan for the changes of the people progression plan always have a people rushing playing you just make changes as needed if it wasn't a public that we need to plan to have a public meeting because if not then we kind of just spinning our Wheels because we still didn't give the public a voice we just having another meeting and we didn't find a whole policy by putting yourself an introduction on it so we are at fault of not following our own policy is it too late to have a problem meeting at least by next Wednesday I mean that that point it mean to bring the whole committee together to have a public meeting there to discuss if there going to be any changes need to decide mm cuz if you don't get any don't you ask you I'm sorry but I don't think we need to have another public movement we've had you had a public meeting right and then the committee has made the recommendation to right now it was just me introduction only the whole over so I guess going along with your question I don't know that we had a public meeting and I'm just asking and I know you're stepping in so by other what I believe half it was no public when I website people progression plan was posted but like Miss Betty said we it was never brought up for introduction so parents didn't even know to go to the website to view the people progression plan so now they have an opportunity to go and view the pupil progression plan and if the board it pleases the board for dr. Hill to call another meeting to have inputs in the pass I don't see a problem with that it's just a matter of a timeline of when you are we'll meet again that we can get the committee back together I have one more question if it's Trish I'm sorry do are their parents on that day it's mandated the structure of the pupil progression committee is mandated and so you have to have parents and community members on the committee one more thing to you are you aware when the meeting was there were men there were several meetings and she dr. Hill was very thorough we had a survey online that we had to partake in so it we had said it was over several months and I have one the question I'm sorry did you all consider I don't roll and GPA averages in that everything is in the packet that was sent to y'all they did. We looked at all of that is there roll call on making this item for the purpose of I'm sorry pictures of people progression playing witches do systems policy on students for grades consideration of promotion an exception to policy the devil has been that special motion to make this rent reduction training it's already been amended agenda to make it as an introduction at Big a motion to table its motion the table yes checking engine questions of Montgomery able me to bring it up at the next meeting what is a repercussion for table in a what's the remove something from the table July 1st ocean2table checking my doctor Keller Volcom is Holden Miss girl Boris Johnson and you items 9B mister just 9V to Patrick Sanders discussion to establish timeline timeline to conduct search process for new superintendent give us a franchise I think it was franchised at this time I'm going to ask attorney Courtney Joiner to Concord executive committee met briefly Rome and extensive time frame on last week to discuss the process for superintendent superintendent search Mist according to with Hammond and chills committee and we ask that he bring the information to the entire board in terms of the timeline and terms of a survey and giving us basic information as to where we are at this point alright again it evening president or nice members we met on last week's discuss the timeline for the superintendent search process there was a little bit of unclarity in a process which has now been resolved or has been resolved now that mr. George has submitted his resignation in the interest on it but we has a firm have recommended it is that the board established a timeline with certain events on the timeline to govern the process the result of the committee from that committee meeting was to establish a survey or public input that survey went live on Wednesday of this week a deadline I think we established two weeks but there could be enough time I just wanted to board would meet to to discuss survey so we can do it from either two to three-week period of time I just looked as of today there are over 500 individuals have completed the survey I think the survey is very thorough is 7 questions to take how to minutes and when Ester responsible giving a survey one thing I will caution that I that I saw is that the board remind individuals maybe we can revise instructions for the survey not to put it's an anonymous survey and that survey will be released to the public have I noticed that individuals put names of students and their names that's fine but they should be aware that this will those results will be released to the public include the well that's one thing that we do need to be caution on his way home and what we're asking for is the board to establish a time line in the time I will consist of basically two columns on would be the events and the second column the first time will be the date sticker he says the next time will be the events that are going to take place at the bottom that should be an ash tree letting the public know that this timeline is tentative dates and events are subject to change I think it addresses some of the things that we talked about tonight everything is up and I don't know what we're doing when we're doing it and that the subject this timeline will be subject to change so at this point we're at the public comment stage I didn't bring any copies of it we had is there anyway that we can get the 10th of time on this playing right now prepare for it to be just fine as well but that's what we are does anybody have any questions are we able to establish some days I think what would need to happen if once we are adopted and publish it tonight when you some clarity on when the public survey According to which written it's on June 24th is it going live on 23rd at 23rd and it did go a day later do we want to spend it play based on 500 people so far on June 23rd next item that we will need to discuss it has been the results will be released to the maybe release 24 watch we get the compilation of all the information yes team I mean how do we how do we to see the results of Survey Monkey and you can see who has access to that account is it you I created it or I have I have access to it I'm not sure there's anyone else who has access to it as well I crave the pole using the school has an account with SurveyMonkey stock radio using Xposed account I'm not sure who has other than myself in this I guess I'm just saying when we get the final when the results are there can somebody email the cuz you can get a analysis right with all the comments for at once the closest Izzy is going to email to the Border concerned I know you mentioned that there are names and children and all of that kind of stuff I don't we redact that info can we wear that that information because I know it becomes public record when we released the survey if if we're going to release a public comments how to redact that information to protect the privacy of our students so the analysis of condensation can be segregated and we can take it and redact the comment section wolf spider had to do a PDF separate with the car we're releasing it probably the best thing to do is the results on a color copy scan as a PDF and release PDF copies of the result and the comments as well and we will have to reject the comments but I'll do is go in if the Borg authority to go in and note in bold and underline please not put names of your student to do knots names of your students you can put your name and it will be to the public is no reason to redact the name of a errand but to let them know that it's clear that these results will be released and to not put name I'll go in redacting so that should take care of the problem but as of now. is student a student's name School in some information that probably should not have been included in that survey but I'll go in again if I have authority to do so that chain and what we'll do is we'll have a color PDF copies in on the computer what I'll do is just save that the results as a PDF segregate item 700 act in information that should not be and in terms of the timeline we're going to call an executive committee meeting probably this Tuesday and then we can go into further details adding a specific date change the time to the schedule a timeline as well in terms of once that information gets into start the process of cuz we're also building characteristics for the superintendent that we're looking for it which is a fact and in terms also of putting together the application process and when that will go out so possibly this Tuesday morning at 9:30 to schedule the executive committee meeting and to be ready whenever I guess this other special meeting is going to come up 2% to the board it was very thorough and had a lot of information I have one question about the evaluation so cuz in reading through everything does the evaluation have to be repaired at the same time that we put the job advertisement out or you just say that you're going to judge on certain stamp I mean what has to go into that piece I noticed on one of those job advertised or one of those contracts and was listed as a separate select a superintendent that will be apart contract so you don't have to do that for the advertisement part just when you sent the contract to Rick okay turn down the steps of recommendation is a boy stamps online to hold a special meeting to confirm as many days as possible on the order the events hosted on and also let the public know that there is a survey that's open 5 now they close it's been released already down all right thank you any other questions board members any opposition to meeting on Tuesday with the executive committee to discuss any further details I guess what would be necessary as the board gives executive committee to authority to issue that tentative timeline well but you would like us to wait policy to vote on that issue leery about that when I say how move whatever you need to do by this board by Michelle giving the executive committee to set the the time frame according to the timelines of the contract yes Miss Montgomery Gateway policy all right I will wait policy ocean information so I can buy my schedule okay accucolor branches
