resident or community group should have the right to present a request suggestion or complaint concerning district personality programs or operations of the district at the same time the board has a duty to protect its staff from harassment consequently the board does not and will not come down personal attacks directed toward district are so now it is the board's intent to provide a fair and impartial manner we're seeking appropriate remedies and suggestions or complaints directed to individual board members and or the board shall be referred to the superintendent indoor propre administrator for consideration and action personnel complaints directed toward an individual or individuals are not subject for discussion or review in a public meeting of the board of school

office consider a motion to approve business office recommendations as follows attachment one through five been moved away the second is there any discussion where is the boarding school directors recognize that the district shall not be eligible to seek referendum exceptions under section three three three of the taxpayer relief so i just want to i just want to clarify this maybe mr him answer this does this mean in the past there has always been exceptions available to us if fewer and fewer every year by the state does this mean the state has now decided there are no exceptions or are you proposing that  if you would if you would choose to do an expansion to your facility in all likelihood you would not do that from cash reserves you would do a financing those expenses for one payment would not be d thirteen fourteen to school year and lawyer i just want to ask a question for clarification on are you saying that the moratorium put on by the governor is there is no building on any educational facilities in the state as a confirmed with the were changes based on the committee to the state have to look at modifications to the whole plant car itself when on is the law under which the department of education decides whether or not you can do second is there any discussion yes i have a question please is this supporting the supreme court's ruling that they have to reassess or is this supporting the fact that the county should assist us in financing fighting the court has done and on of that court order or to actively participate in the assessment process even with the second one of the second portion about the act that we participate they would have to honor the a little bit friendlier to the board in terms of understanding what what against we're asking you to support there has been a core determination as mr madison that the commission commissioners or  see i do not have a report this evening except to say that we will have a policy meeting in january i will see how the committee chair situation goes so i will not schedule that meeting and will wait until after that we will need a meeting in january regarding policy probably could go into the first of february if we end up having a lot of meetings in january but we do have some policies we need to address and ah committee this is a you he has to be a this is great for you western area career in technology center mr vista's no report for this month you and yours noted on here that the next meeting will be december nineteenth plate and i will continue to send the package out as it comes to me right now that's in the wings anybody but it's there's some interesting and then there is now i think it's going to thank you very much thousand and thirteen at upper st clair school district in the algae  so some of these are paid and it's nice because you do know that in the agenda yes anyone is reading and they can say they are but that that is that's that's great it is always have to repeat that you always have to have it people always want to ask and you have to cover that perceive the board received information in the past or there was a last minute change because we used to get the name of the as we go from going to get the name of the person the assignment that they were going to the effective date of the person that they were plac g we did get them from one of these two candidates didn't get any of that information the other thing that was done by the fact it was one of their resumes and i have always really appreciated getting the two substitutes in the area mathematics will work with as individuals and decide which would be the appropriate individual to have and a more common assignment and then come back to the board in ja that is correct and i'm sorry about that i should explain that this or any other discussion right now they're simply being hired as day to day substitutes neither will be given an assignment year ending receipt of all confined stock commence employees will not begin work within or for the district in toto documentations are on except in special circumstances approved by the superintendent and here is a list of eight by saying its second moved and the second is were the second come if an educational programs and student activities a recommendation consider a motion to improve the educational program student activities as follows and again we do try to be conscientious and make sure that these events have not begun before the and they have to wait a second is there any discussion yes i have a question about the the one that did slip through the crack in the member one thousand the twenty seventh two thousand and twelve for the marching band where we voting on this after the not that we're aware of i mean eric i wasn't able to i was not able to find it but i understand that there was discussion at the band level and then at the principals level i wasn't sure whether it i would but i'm not clear what the process is for these kind of fund raising activities i mean it's pretty clear to me that anything that any of the sports groups do go through the  i'm not sure i'm not sure you know an athletic things do or not i mean i'm not sure if bryant's responsibility includes fundraiser for non athletic face but i certainly  so in response to your question this it didn't slip through the cracks in the district office the district office is aware that the dates are asked yeah i would assume that this is something that's a yearly thing the district in any way and may put the district in some position just not approving a fund raiser and i think you have some community member come in and say well this wasn't approved you said it was so forth i think we and i can get the steps all written down and get that out was a good question yeah help me and the bigger question now in this situation and you don't have to answer right now i'm just it's just a consideration is what would happen if this wasn't approved and something went iraq what if because the children are sending the satellite say if a student is selling these somewhere and something happens where is the culpability where is this and what protection is this offer to the for the marching band group so that's even more important than you know can you give us the so we're not we can't set a precedent for this and i think it's been a bone of contention for a while and we all know that but what would happen who would be responsible because we would be sang a we never gro ok and finally have their recommendation consider a motion to approve of the recommendations as follows and one is that there are two items here and one is agent donation and consider a motion to have the solicitor information i have no board information this time solicitors report the report thank you and at this time we have a question and answer period on agenda items only there being none we will move on to correspondents we have received some correspondent received in advance i have nothing further under announcement it's a good time to set some dates  monday and then or that saturday or december the twentieth which is thursday so everybody i think from your e mail where you said we're used to meeting on mondays if that's ok with everybody that would certainly be better for me it's good for me all right well then let's just plan on the seventeenth and then we'll get information out there buddy about who's coming and six thirty or you take the meeting it will be yeah who's who's coming and maybe some suggested questions and we usually get those in advance and something like that so that we're all prepared to talk to these people intelligently and again just so everyone knows this is the the interview of the the search firms to assist us in hiring a new superintendent this is just the enter view of the firms and what time is your meeting six thirty things about the contracts and what our absolute wants and needs are and i'm not sure that we can make that public it seems to skew the contracting process but i don't know where that line is it's not easy o very happy holiday and a very productive new year thank you very much and i just echo that in behalf of the board i'm sure everyone agrees safe holiday is for everyone and safe travels and we'll see you next year
