The Finance and Personnel Committee meeting was called to order by Committee Chairman Joel Shores. Rob McDaniel provided a 2022-2023 budget update. Mr. McDaniel reported that we are over budget in transportation and will probably have a $1.5 million unfunded shortfall. This overage is primarily due to the raises that were given by the state with no increase in funding. These additional costs combined with a decrease in cash flow to the district continues to create budget challenges for the district.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><b><i>The finance staff gave an ESSER update and shared the status of each PRC code. These funds are being used for learning loss, technology, and HVAC renovations at our traditional high schools. The remaining funds have expiration dates in 2023 and 2024. <\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><b><i>Mr. Shores and Rodney Fitch expressed their desire to see additional SROs hired and want this request in the budget request to the county for next year.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><b><i>Dr. Jennifer Wampler gave a brief staffing update. Dr. Wampler will begin meeting with principals at the end of February to discuss staffing allotments and cuts for the 2023-2024 school year. Some positions will end this year, due to the end of COVID funds, such as the School Health Techs. Other cuts will be made due to funding and enrollment and will occur through attrition.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><i>\u00a0<\/i><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><u><b>Editor\u2019s Note<\/b><\/u><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Folks, sometimes when <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0forward\u2019s information that appears incredible, he will say \u201cDon\u2019t Believe me, Read it for yourself.\u201d This time <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0does NOT have to say that. If you have read this article down to this point, you have ALREADY read it for yourself. <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0copied the text above straight out or the CCS School Board Meeting Draft minutes for the February 13, 2023 School Board meeting. And this text is exactly what is in those minutes. If you have questions, don\u2019t call <strong><u><b>Robert A,<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0call CCS School Board Chairman Robert Queen or his twin brother, Kevin Gordon as the Commissioner\u2019s Board Chairman. In this particular case, as bad, arrogant and elitist as these two are; <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0recommends believing what Kevin Gordon might say over Robert Queen\u2019s tall tales and bald-faced lies.<\/p>\n<p>Also, folks, those School Board minutes for the February 13, 2023 School Board meeting leave out lots more things than it says. Not a peep about the School Board\u2019s internal cat-fighting and Robert Queen illegally ejecting citizens for no legal or legitimate purpose. Upon legal advice, <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong> won\u2019t report on the extremely bad and illegal things (and wasteful spending) that happened at that meeting until further notice. <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0recommends all honest school board members to vote <u>NO<\/u>\u00a0on approving those aforementioned School Board Meeting Minutes. As well as that phony and fought over revision to Policy 5020. All-the-while the School Board under Chairman Robert Queen refuses to even acknowledge or talk about all the Bullying going on at CCS schools. Wouldn\u2019t it be a \u201choot\u201d if all the School Board got themselves hauled down to the Courthouse and <strong><u><b>Robert A<\/b><\/u><\/strong>\u00a0is on the witness stand. Getting ready to empty their bank accounts and take possession of all their houses, cars and property. No governmental immunity for these sets of CCS school board and Commissioner crowds. Or maybe just defeating them all badly in the 2024 elections.
