Chair Gilhousen opened the public hearing.  With no one coming forward to speak to the item, the public hearing was closed.

Mrs. Bolla appreciated the retirees and all the years of service they have dedicated to students.  She noted that the Elks Club has made a contribution to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, supporting early literacy.  She also indicated the importance of classroom libraries, recognizing the many teachers who work, even during the summer, on their libraries so children can continue to read. 

Mrs. Skipper would like to explore and take action on restructuring the district's police department from the internal entity currently existing and move the security and safety back to the Clay County Sheriff's Department.  She cited concerns with the chain of command, no true oversight and separation of power, a lack of accreditation, delays in response with communicating to other police departments, a lack of experienced staff needed to work with certain crimes, fiscal responsibility, and a primary need for safety and accountability.  Mrs. Clark indicated reviewing this proposal is a great idea and noted the changes over the last five years within the Sheriff's Department.  Mrs. Hanson stated that, in Clay County, less than 1% of crimes are reported to SESIR (School Environmental Safety Incident Reporting) and she has concerns re checks and balances.  The CCSD Chief of Police reports to several people at the district office, including the superintendent, and Mrs. Hanson would like to see an internal affairs department and/or a department separate from CCDSPD to review and monitor complaints.  She supports a discussion of revisions to the current model of safety and security and requested a review of the budget, to include expenditures and salaries.  Mrs. Bolla confirmed with Dr. Legutko, Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs, that a full accounting of police department expenditures, including historical budget information, will be provided at the upcoming budget meeting.  Mrs. Bolla also noted that neither the Green Cove Springs nor the Orange Park Police Departments are accredited.  Additional discussion between board members outlined the need for budget information, both historical and current re the cost of maintaining the current police department, consideration of the current contracts the district has with its safety and officer employees, and a need for detailed information from CCSO to compare and contrast with the existing framework.  Superintendent Broskie will coordinate with Sheriff Cook to obtain information and invite her to participate in a future workshop.  Dr. Susan Legutko, Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs, will provide the requested information on expenditures, noting that she provides a monthly worksheet on the agenda that delineates how the 1 mil is being spent.  A workshop will be scheduled to further discuss and evaluate when information has been obtained.

Mrs. Hanson commented positively about the Teacher Leadership Academy.

Mrs. Gilhousen noted that there will be a single point of entry at future board meetings to provide additional security.  

The Florida School Boards Association Advocacy Committee Representative for the next term will be Mrs. Bolla, and Mrs. Hanson will serve as the Alternate Representative.

Mrs. Hanson will serve on the 2023 Value Adjustment Board.  Mrs. Skipper will contact someone to explore their willingness to serve as the Citizen Member on the Value Adjustment Board.
