Stephen Mills, Supervisor of Safety and Security, gave an informational presentation re SaferWatch, a web and mobile-based security system designed to provide enhanced security for both schools and individuals.  Use of the SaferWatch mobile app would empower users to report an incident as it is happening and would allow for two-way communication during emergency situations.  This system would augment, not replace, current communication between schools, employees, and law enforcement.

Dr. Susan Legutko, Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs, introduced Trent Allen, who provided a virtual presention of Facilitron, a facilities management company that would work to assist CCDS with a facilities management program, alleviating workload from principals and school personnel and providing greater accountability.  The program offers an aggregate facilities calendar to allow efficient facilities rentals and maintenance in one place.  The program would partner with district staff by offering services as an extension to the district, handling customer support, verifying insurance, communications, payment collections, refunds, and data analytics. 

Mrs. Kerekes questioned whether there is a need to adjust the pricing for facility use to accommodate the 10% fee for this service, and Dr. Legutko advised she does not see a need to revise fees at this point.  Current fees for facility use have provided the necessary funds to support the added expense of police, custodians, and added utility expenses.  It is expected that Facilitron would assist the schools with time management and provide consistency with policies, insurance requirements, and certifications.

Superintendent Broskie noted that an executive session would be held immediately following the conclusion of this meeting.

Board members extended well wishes for the holiday season, and Mrs. Bullock noted that one of the winners (most original) in a recent parade was a CCDS bus.

Mrs. Bolla noted that Ethan Caren, Director of Information and Technology Services, is working with AgendaPlus to implement added feature(s) suggested by board members to the Board's current software. 

Mrs. Bolla also proposed, and the board discussed, addressing current Board Member Committee Assignments, to review, consolidate if possible, and provide additional information relative to the duties of each assignment.  Mrs. Kerekes encouraged at least an every two-year rotation of duties.

Tools4Schools will be relocating from Orange Park Junior High to Garber Automall in Green Cove Springs to provide additional space and greater accessibility for all district teachers.  The next event will be held on January 3, 2022 and will be advertised and communicated to teachers.
