>> I pledge algiance to the flag United States of America >> and to the republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all you
moving right along. Item number two, recognition presentations. We didn't have any. Item three, public comments. We didn't have none. Moving on. Item four, superintendent report. Petty, >> I'll make this quick. Uh, thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, few things. We are ho the
high school rather is hosting the volleyball district championship tournament. Uh, there's only four teams in it that are playing. Franklin and St. Joe is playing as we speak. They were supposed to start at five. I'm going to assume they did. Um and then uh Liberty
County will play we wall at 7. The winners of those two games will play on Thursday for the district championship. So uh we're that's looking good for us. Uh don't want to be presumptuous, but it's looking good for us. Um number two, believe it or not, we're back around our
uh teacher of the year nominations. That will close tomorrow for Liberty County teacher of the year and employee of the year. We're very blessed this year obviously to have one in the top five. And this is where it starts with the nomination process on at the school sites. So, we will announce those site w
the school site winners on Friday, November 7th. Um, and I really want to thank Jeff for putting that together. He he uh manages that whole program and does a phenomenal job. And so, I appreciate his hard work and collecting ballots and votes and getting everything
turned in so we can get all that u ready to go by the end of the year. Uh November 7th is is turning out to be a pretty busy day. Uh we're also uh looking at uh planning a Veterans Day program. We've been doing that over the last few years. That's a real hit with
our our county vets followed by lunchon on Friday, November the 7th. So same day we'll do that. And number four, our delegation meeting. I'm going to see if we could possibly get our our uh Senator Simon and Representative Schae maybe to
come be a part of that. We usually do it somewhere around 10:30 or 11. Uh we'll we'll just try to work around their schedules and if they don't usually that they'll do two or three that day. Um and so when I get their schedule for the whole day, I'm going to see if they could even, you know, maybe come and be
a part of that. I think they would absolutely do that. But we do have a meeting at 10:00 a.m. at the courthouse uh with them. Um we I will be talking about at that delegation meeting a couple of appropriation requests. one. I
I've told y'all from the beginning, we're going to ask for a bus every year till they tell us no, you can't have one. They've not turned us down yet. And that's a wonderful way. We all already had one in um capital uh projects that Katie put in there. So hopefully that'll
get us two uh one backtoback year. So um or it' be three, I guess, because we got one Did we get one last year? Yeah, we got one last year. One ordered. So anyway, we want to try to get a bus obviously every year and so uh we got one from the state, we're we're buying
one and then we're we're getting another request and we're going to keep doing that. The other thing uh which number five is is uh we did a it it was not a presentation but we answered questions of the Florida Historical Grant Committee. They have a ranking committee who had about 59 projects. Four of them
didn't count, so they got down to 55. the the fir the other four or five didn't didn't meet minimums. Um and so we answered questions. I was at the fads conference so I participated through Zoom. Uh Jeff and Katie were there uh to
answer any questions and so we they rank them. We ranked 44 out of 55. Uh that broke my heart a little bit. There were some very very worthy projects. So if you saw the projects you would kind of see how competitive that pro process is. However, last year they funded over 24
25 million in projects and uh the 44th project which is us only puts them at a cumulative value of about 20 million. So if they put 24 25 million back in it, they might be able to fund all the projects. So u right now that's looking good. We'll continue to work, get
Patrick to work it for us and get our delegation and I'll be bringing that up as a as a real need for uh them and hopefully they can put some uh put put a little pressure on the the state department to to fund that for us. Um Tuesday, November 11th is Veterans Day.
There is no school on that day. That's a Tuesday, obviously. Um that's also the second Tuesday. It kind of works out sometimes that way, which is typically a board meeting night. So, I'm going to propose to y'all if it's okay with y'all and y'all tell me when you want to meet. Uh, if y'all want to meet on Veterans
Day, that's fine. But, I was thinking about if we could move that to Thursday, November 13th. Um, since this is a non-election year, we can do the organizational meeting at the same at the same time, which mean is the time that we uh uh vote for a chair and vice
chair and our banking thing and all that stuff. We can all do that the same night. Now, next year, which is an election year, we'll have to do that two weeks after that general election, but this this time, uh, Renee has informed me that we can do it the same night, um,
on the 13th. So, I'm that's going to be my suggestion, but that's it's your meeting. So, you you all tell me what you want to do and we'll be there. Um, this is number seven. As FYI, again, not being presumptuous, but this is in case people ask you and or you may want to
know yourself, if we are blessed to make it to the final four, uh those are the dates, November 4th and 5th. Uh that's the rural final, rural semi-final and the rural final, which is uh a Monday and a Tuesday, I believe, I think. Um,
number eight, if you're interested in attending the Florida School Board Association FADS joint conference in December, which is on the 3rd and 5th, I know I think Mason went last year. Uh, uh, let Renee know and she can secure rooms and we'll need to get the board to approve that at at the November meeting,
but she can go ahead and secure those rooms. If you haven't received something from FSBA, let me know and we'll make sure you get that. But, uh, it's a it's a great conference. Uh I went as a schoolboard member. You can they got breakout groups where you can learn everything from uh chairmanship to
boardsmanship to legal things, collective bargaining, u finance. They have a finance module. They have different things. They won't have them all at the at the conference, but they'll have some of those modules there for for your training if you want to go. So, if you'll let me or Renee
know, we'll make sure you get rooms and we'll make sure the board can approve that at the next meeting. And then lastly, I sent y'all an ethics uh training link. I was wondering when they were going to send that, but Brian Moore sent that. So, it's a email forward from
Brian Moore, who's the fads attorney. Um, and it has the updated link for uh training. You just need to have that done by December 31st. You can do it on your own, which is fine. You can uh you put it on a computer, your phone, or whatever, and listen to it. And then at
the end there's a a a link to get a certificate printed and you can print that out and put your name on it. If you need Renee to do that for you once you complete it, let her know and she'll do that and make sure. And then what you'll do is you'll document that on your form six. Uh and I think that's due in
July one or something like that. So you got you got plenty enough time to get it all done. It's about a three and a half four hour training that we we do each year. Any questions? >> Um value adjustment board meeting on the same day
uh November 7th is >> do you really do you know what time that is >> my memory served is 10:00 >> okay >> what is that boo >> just the board meeting when you know that's me with the >> on the 7th
>> I'll I I'll check to make sure on time my phone 10 o'clock >> I'll call I'll call clerk Ford on that and see >> I I would assume it's going to a different time because they're not going to have delegation in that same >> because Jayce told me that time for for the delegation meeting. But they may try
to >> maybe 1:00. >> They may try to cram it all in there. But I'll I'll verify that. >> Is the board in agreements with Thursday, November the 13th? I'm meeting. Everybody agreed on that? >> I'd rather do it Monday, but >> Mr. Penny,
that >> that's up to y'all. I know if you've got Tuesday off, you may want to be off Monday if if Tuesday's a holiday for you. So now you talk about organizational meeting does it have to be specific. >> It does not have to be on that same day >> the election not election not an
election years how why that is. Right. >> Right. Right. >> We'll be having >> I'm good with it on Thursday. >> I am too. I'm good with >> I'm good with them. >> Perfect. >> I'm fine with that. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, >> dy noted. >> Yeah. And I do actually have a comment
or a question. You talked about legislative budget requests. you're considering or thinking and working on that right now. Is that correct? You're going to have some conversations over on it. >> Yes, sir. >> Um I know we haven't had this presentation yet. Um but I'd like to talk about that uh you know this this
security assessment presentation and then you know the possibility of funding requests pertaining to safety security um to see what the most essential uh components of this would be that uh Mr. Ricky would think that absolutely should be, you know, included in uh in
something like a legislative budget request as well, possibly. So, if we can keep kind of keep that in mind. Um, I would appreciate that. >> Okay. >> All right.

or you want to speak on this >> that that I gave y'all? You know, is I have to give y'all a report every year for after we do our FSATs. That is the writeups. And it's not it's not a write up. It's it'sems that I found that can
be enhanced through our FSAT. The questionnaire is through our FSAT. The amount that you see on it is just a close guesstimation of what it's going to cost. You know, it changes all the time. Uh, as you can see on there, the new stuff, the AI technology and the gun
detection, uh, technology is still skyhigh. I mean, to put a system in one of our schools, you're looking at $100,000 a piece. So, if y'all want to see that full report, if you want to come to my office and sit down and see the full FSAT report on each one, it's
136 pages. That's the reason you don't have the full report. You just have the writeups for it. But you're welcome to get with me. We'll sit down. We'll let you look through the whole report. I'm pleased to say that once I got I've waited till the FSATs were turned in.
They were reviewed by FDOE and OSS. Once they came back to me, we were compliant in every area for the state of Florida through OSS. So, we're 100% compliant at this time. So, we don't have to spend any jump through hoops and spend any money to fix anything because we are
100% compliant. All that stuff you see on that list is kind of a wish list kind of stuff. As we get money, we'll fix what we can fix and I'll get with y'all and see which direction y'all want to go. Like I talked to all y'all, we already have a footprint started. We've
did all our fencing. If you'll see on that list, there's no fencing this year. We're 100% secure through all our campuses. We can lock down our campuses at any time we want to. They stay locked down 100% of the day when kids are here. So, we're good on all our fencing. We've
added some code access if we want to move forward with that. We have a footprint now. We can just move forward with it. So, there's several areas there that we're already working on. We just need to keep working to advance them and make them better. >> Ricky, you had said earlier there are some items on here that you're planning
to get grant when the grant comes through. Um, and what I would like to see is your priority list. Yes. Um, you know, what do we need? And like Mason alluded to earlier, if we're going for a which I it's Have we seen the approp the
budget appropriations request yet, Kyle? >> Two of them. Yes. One's for the one's for 244, but it's not >> uh it's not through the legislative appropriation process. It's in a different pot of money through historicals. So, I'm kind of using that.
I I need that more than anything right now is the 244,000. >> Okay. >> So, I'm letting that count for one of them and then about probably 185 for a bus. >> Bus, right? So, okay. Um >> I I get a hardening grant from OSS every
year. I fill out the paperwork. The paperwork usually comes available in December. We get it turned in by mid January. They usually award it by May. Uh last year we was able to get a $100,000 uh for small district. The year before
it was 42,000. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that we get 100,000 again. They have not released how much we're going to get. Uh I'm hoping that we can get a 100,000 because if we get a 100,000, there's probably three or four projects on there that we can actually wipe off the list with 100,000 bucks.
So, I'll know more about it in the next probably two to four weeks of how much money they're actually going to give us and then I can let y'all know and we can prioritize from there. >> Okay. Um, yeah, I'd really like to, like Mason alluded to, I I would really like
to if there's something on here that we need, and I mean really need, and I don't I don't know these are prioritized. Yeah. >> Um, you know, it it may be a good time to ask. You know, that list is and like I've talked to Mr. Petty before, that
list has some stuff on it that has a lot of meat on the bone that I would really like to get done. Just like hammers on the ball fields at Toller, we have problems on our ball fields, you know. So, I need eyes on the ball fields. Just like when we had the Mr. Chance died out
here on our field, we had video footage of everything that happened. If I didn't have cameras on the ball field, we would have never been able to say, "This is what happened, and this is how quick we responded. So, it's very important for me to get cameras on the ball field. It's important for me to upgrade some of
this code access stuff to try to get code access on our exterior doors. We have our fencing as our first line of defense. Well, now, if we can get our exterior doors beefed up, then we got another line of defense, and then we can get, you know, it's just a process. So, I'll definitely
prioritize it for you and let you know exactly what I'm thinking in my mind far as the process of making our schools better. Uh, I think what we've done in the last four years, five years, we've come a long way, but I think we got a long way to go and if we all work together, I
think we can get there. >> Done an excellent job of that, Ricky, and we appreciate everything you've done. >> Really do. Thank you so much. >> So, Mr. Ricky, when when will we know something definitively pertaining to those dollars? When did you say, in other words, >> be two to four weeks. And I mean, it's
it's up to OSS and they're waiting on some big guy. They don't I don't even know who it is to sign the papers saying they've kind of already got in their mind what they're going to give us. But >> how would that work with our budget request if we just we wanted to put
something in there, Kyle? >> We've got them up until about November 7th, I think, or mid November. >> So, it's going to be close then. >> It'll be close. It'll be close. and and and this is kind of hot off the press as well. So, we we'll get together and we'll get together and I I'd rather use
the budget request for the large items. Yeah, the large items. >> Yeah, absolutely. That what I'm saying. If there's something on here >> that Ricky, you know, recognizes that we absolutely need. >> We did that on the on the communication system.
>> Yeah. You know, Yeah. I know. And that was a big purchase. It's just that window is very small right now for us to get >> in our weak area that I would love to try to fix, but it's going to take us a pretty good bit of money. I would love to upgrade our sidelights in our doors.
And in the classroom door, they call the little window in the door a sidelight. None of those sidelights are secure glass. So if we have a person come in, the door handles right up underneath that little sidelight. The door don't lock from the inside. It locks from the
outside. So somebody could actually punch that glass out with their fist or whatever because it's just a little quarter inch piece of glass and open the door and walk in any classroom we got no matter whether they got the door locked or not. So that price that you see on there that
I've actually had a company come uh look at all of them and give me an actual quoted price on all that. The big windows on the outside of the high school on the front entrance of the high school, none of those are secure glass. They're all just regular tempered glass.
So, anybody wanted to come into our school, they could bust a window out and come into our school. I have a price on that kind of stuff. Uh I actually already have got physical quotes from all that. I've had a company come and tour all three of our schools and give me physical quotes on all that stuff.
So, I mean, if we wanted to come up with a big project to do, you're looking at a $200,000 project. If he wanted to do all three schools, >> there are limit on
>> we can ask for. >> There's not, but we always ask for >> Yeah. And and and look, and that's a easy justifiable thing on an application. >> Yes. >> That here's where we're at. >> Here's what we need. Even as a third item, even as a third item, I I have no
problem with that. >> Safety is big. I mean, that helps >> and and they they'll prioritize that. I mean, I hate to say that they'll prioritize this over a bus, >> right? >> Safety safety is huge. And I think that
if we don't and right now from what I what I personally know about the budget with the little bit I know about it, um I I don't think we've got the money to cover that. So I I would I would like to see us roll, you know, that's something
that's >> and like I say, this is >> we lean on you. You're the subject matter expert. >> This is all a process and we can sit down and talk about it once I get y'all a priority list. we can go through it and see what you want to try to do in house. What >> we just don't have much time there that
that that's against us right now. So like >> we're good. No, we're good. We're good. I can I can do them in a day. >> Okay. Okay. >> I personally I would like to see if if there's a possibility that each location gets some type of a benefit, some type of an upgrade.
>> Every year that I get a hardening grant, I sit down and I do at least one project at every school. I do not leave a school out. I do not take the full budget and put it at one school and say we're going to start here. I feel like that every school across the district is just
awarding, rewarding, and all that good stuff. Every kid needs to be taken care of. So, I make sure that whatever I do at one school, we carry on throughout the whole district. >> Spread the love. >> Thank you. Thank you for that very much. And thank you for keeping them safe. And the sheriff's office as well. We
appreciate them. Uh Kyle, one one more thought pertaining to this this this these requests. I know that Kevin has a uh a running list of facilities, repairs, improvements, things like that. >> Um if we could have his input on what he
feels are some of the biggest um I would say uh the the most important repairs to this date right now. Um, if we could maybe look at a fourth tier in that um, in that request and put something like that on there, I' I'd be interested in
that. I know that there are I would personally like it to be safety related. I know it's not necessarily safety pertaining to uh, what Ricky does, but like u bleachers um, in the toller toller gym how they're they're a little wobbly, you know, things like that that could keep somebody from being hurt. I
would I would be interested in seeing what options we have to to put some some requests in pertain to that and let Kevin kind of uh direct what he feels is the most important to focus on >> if you wouldn't mind. I don't I don't
know if the board is board is on um on with me about that but I'd be interested to see >> I've already sent him a picture. I sent Kyle a picture about what two weeks ago, >> but we broke that up over, you know, we did the did the painting last or summer was before and and the bleachers are the
next item on that to to do on that on that list. >> All in favor say I. >> Any oppose? Motion carries. Moving on to item 10, emergency item. Item eight. Need a motion to approve memorandum of understanding between Liberty County School Board and Liberty County

educate kids. Um, I hear good things that are happening as far as scores and education and and learning. And it it means a lot when I receive good calls from the community and and they tell me how how good things are looking and how they feel like their kids are loved and
cared about and respected. I just wanted to say I appreciate everything everybody does admin teachers to make that possible. Um there's anything y'all need from me, let me know. Um secondary, um where where did we ever end with the bleachers at the softball
field? Was that still pending up in there? There is no no movement on that. >> Kevin, you are you still on? >> Kevin. >> He did have a guy come out. >> Hey, Kevin. >> Oh, no. I thought you said Heather for a
second. No, I'm not Kevin. >> Yeah. Yeah. Uh, can you give us an update on the softball bleachers? I know you had somebody that came over. Did they come look at that as well? >> Yes, sir. I got Mr. Greg Kelly with CRA trying to set us up something like the
bleachers at the visitor side football, you know, with some columns to raise them up 8 foot high until it'll put them over the fieldhouse. They'll be where they setting that backed up a little bit, but they'll be up even with the top of the um dugout.
The other option when I had the guy to come out looking at the quote on um the football bleachers to upgrade them to what you wanted, Mr. Kever, they also said I I told him I had already talked to the bleacher company, but he said he
might have a bleacher company that can build up some freestanding ones with a with a 8ft floor on it as well. So, I'm I'm waiting to hear back. I try I apply uh responded to both of them before the meeting and I still don't have no you
know concrete uh answer from either one of them. >> Okay. Thank you. >> So you know just soon as I know something I'll let everyone know. >> Yeah. No, thank you for that. In other words, I'm bringing up because it sure
be nice. I know we're we're towards uh coming coming up into uh you know seasons for that. I was wondering if you know there's a possibility to having something like that completed before uh we get wide open with uh with ball season that particular ball softball. So
if we can whatever we can do to try to put a priority I know that we're uh limited to dollars and limited to uh people that have the desire to uh perform that labor. But I appreciate y'all continuing to push and ask you to please continue to push that. I know a lot of a lot of parents and fans would like to see that happen. So thank you
for that. Um, other than that, nothing else comes to mind at this time. I do appreciate it. Thank y'all. Love y'all. >> Thank you, brother. Miss Jody, >> um, just the bleachers for toller. I was going to ask about that, but if we're we're we're already on top of that, I'll let that go decide. Um, can you send us
that appropriations request what you're going to be presenting? Okay. Thank you. Uh, just a couple reminders on some community stuff that's going on. I know this is probably not the forum that I need to to do that, but I do want to um mention Friday there's a fundraiser for
the Ridley family. Um and Saturday is the Symmetra Fall Festival. I want to invite all of our board members and all of our administration team and our teachers, uh kids, everybody if you want to come down and enjoy Little Old Smatra. Um it's a fun little event. It's
5:00. >> 5:00. Yeah. Fun little event. You can even get out there and do the cakewalk with me. Um booth. >> I don't know about that. I'm not getting in it. So, >> the track the starting date on the track because our vendor good. We
>> Yeah, I I actually talked to them today, checked in. They were checking in with me. Uh I got up with Jared. They're they're they've got to do the prep work and Roberts. Everybody's just waiting waiting. They're supposed to get tell me when they're starting to prep. I told them it's time. >> We're ready.
>> Yeah. Um, well, I know they're on 71 right now. So, I'm hoping I' I've talked to the >> Yeah, if you don't if you got a little connection there that the >> pay talked to George. I >> reached out to Jared this morning. I said, I just need to know when when y'all can do the prep.
>> Yeah, >> the other place >> they try to schedule. You know how it is. >> Okay, that's all done then. Thank you everybody. Great job. So, pertaining to what you were talking about the uh the track, I I haven't looked and don't know the schedule and I believe in our
football bulldog team and they're having a good season. Is there any any type of a remote possibility depending on how far they go there could be any game back here at home for any reason? In other words, that could >> short the short answer is there's always a possibility you could play a home game. Right now, the seedings we're in
the bottom two. >> I don't I don't see it. I don't see it, but stranger things have happened. And I'll tell you where it could happen. >> Believe I believe. I believe, but I'm But it could happen. Here's where that something like that could happen. If somebody says, "Hey, we're not going to
go down and play somewhere." And then all of a sudden they receded them, >> right? >> Or or they do something where somebody says, "We don't want We're You know, of course, I think we had an opportunity." >> Yeah. And like the keys or something. >> Correct. Yeah. >> We just And we said no. So, so the question is or the deal is you could
have a situation that that could throw a monkey wrench in that, but I don't I don't see it at this point. But to say it couldn't happen, no, it could. Okay. >> It very well could. >> That's just something to keep an an eye out as far as when you want to start that track. Even if there was a small chance, we might want to consider.
>> I'd like to thank everybody job to do. Well, well done. I appreciate y'all. I'd like to mention a couple two or three guys here tonight. Start with Mr. Logan Kever for running the bulldog club and and that what the bulldog club represents for us. We need to say thank you and >> do it.
>> I do. >> I stepped I stepped down from cooking. >> Was Andy causing that? >> I stepped back from cooking this year and we had two guys step up to the plate. Never missed a beat. Mr. Ricky Samson, Jason Singleary. I appreciate y'all guys. Thank y'all. >> No,
>> sir. >> Mr. Ricky Samson. >> Well, I didn't really say that much. I didn't want to get in on that. >> Well, I appreciate it. >> They were talking, wasn't they, Rick? I mean, we ain't going to call no names. That's all I got. >> Thank y'all guys. No joke,
>> Jason. >> I'm good. >> Appreciate y'all. I'm with I'm with Log Mason on the football deal. If all things are great, I hope we can make it. But I mean it there's one possibility
and like Kyle said of playing back at home in playoff >> because it's got a little crazy this year and it's going to cost people money to do but I appreciate what y'all do. Appreciate the report there Ricky. U did have one
question on that is how I I missched the drill. Did we missched a drill or did we just do it on the wrong time? No, we had it scheduled and then something came up and they didn't do it and they did it the next Monday. We had it scheduled for
Thursday. Something came up. Oh, we was out of school. Something came up and we didn't have school that day. Was one of them day? >> No. >> Snow week. That's right. >> No. >> Snow week and we didn't have school and then >> really got pinged for that. Huh? got
paid for. >> Um, so what we did to make sure that this never happened again, uh, we've adjusted our days to where we have five or six days leeway now. So if they don't get to do them on and they still got time to do them within the
because last year it had to be done within so many days. This year they're they've changed it again. They change it every year. We have to learn something new every year. But this year they've changed it to once a >> once a a quarter. Basically
>> what I'm getting at there is you see there's no violation. No, no non-compliance. >> They like a DOT officer. They if they want to find something, they're going to find something ser all the schools to find only >> that's all they found.
>> I mean that's that's just that's glory. >> It was a very petty ding and I fought it. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> I got you. I'm just saying you're doing a great job. I mean, yeah, they're just for Okay, we didn't we've done it, but it was okay. >> They found something to put on paper as
long as they did. >> Thank all y'all. >> 13. Closing comments. None. Item 14. Need a motion to journ. >> Motion. >> Motion, Miss Jody. Second. >> Second. Thank meeting now.
