This item was addressed following the conclusion of all other items and comments, after a brief recess, from 11:59 a.m. - 12:13 p.m.  This portion of the meeting was closed to the public (12:13 p.m. - 12:54 p.m.) for Stephen Mills, Supervisor of Safety & Security, to present the safe school assessment findings and to discuss specific strategies to be implemented to improve the safety and security of the school district.

At the beginning of the meeting, Superintendent Broskie introduced John Steinmetz and Jeremiah Blocker (attending via teleconferencing), new School Board Attorneys.  Mr. Broskie also commented on the Hurricane Idalia preparations, the district's partnership with Clay County Emergency Management, and the shelters opening this afternoon based on an agreement with the Board of County Commissioners.

Mrs. Bolla indicated she has received many phone calls and emails re Achieve 3000 and made the request, moving forward, for the board to pause and give consideration to decisions of significant magnitude so that respect and value are given to teachers' thoughts and experience on matters. 

Mrs. Hanson advised teachers can determine lexile levels without paying so much money and faults the district for not sending out surveys to ask teachers what they want.  She believes taking the money saved by not purchasing Achieve 3000 and spending a portion on a program that would address reading deficits would be more beneficial.
