3. School Board Member Comments
Minutes:

Mrs. Kerekes extended appreciation to those making the welding room at Orange Park High possible and urged safety and taking precautions ahead of the storm.

Mrs. Clark voiced some community confusion re charter schools participating in district activities.  Superintendent Broskie advised charter school students have a long-standing tradition of participating with district schools and may participate in athletics at their home-zoned school.  Mrs. Clark also recommended discussion with Dr. Legutko, Assistant Superintendent of Business Affairs, to ensure the district is funding projects correctly, including evaluating EDFIRST funding.

Mrs. Gilhousen suggested bringing legislative priorities to the November meeting to start the refining process.  She indicated it would be worthwhile to look into the cost and benefits of retaining a lobbyist with a strong relationship with our legislators as all districts are competing for the same funding.

Mrs. Bullock extended appreciation to the Clay County Education Association and the bargaining team who worked together on the current proposed contract.

Mrs. Bolla inquired into the status of retaining personnel to fill employment vacancies.  Mr. Broskie advised current vacancies seem to reflect what has been seen historically and that labor shortages continue to be an issue that is being addressed as aggressively as possible.
