Presented 58 00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:59,680 by Miss Perry. Madam Chair, I'd like to few comments on that. So, uh, good 59 00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:02,960 information there. If you break it down, it's per project, you know, basically 60 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:09,039 per school. >> And, um, so, um, I just as I went 61 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,080 through every one and I I did a deep dive on my eight schools, but it 62 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:20,319 generally followed the trend for all all our schools. So salary for for operating 63 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:26,160 a school system if you look at it the salary and benefits uh to our staff 64 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:30,880 there in those schools exceeds you know generally 50%. 65 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:36,479 » So um you know you know there's some exceptions with CTE and what have you 66 00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:43,280 but um uh and that's general fund and special uh revenue fund. So um and it's 67 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:46,400 consistent throughout the district. So from a businessman's point of view, I'd 68 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,680 like to see that. I mean, that's really good. And and that's a rule of thumb. I 69 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:54,560 mean, you can look at it and say, "Hey, to operate a school, you know, half of 70 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:59,280 it's going to be just in the salary and benefits for the staff." So 71 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:05,280 that's [clears throat] it. >> Thank you, Mr. Heinley. 72 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:12,000 Okay, moving along to 7.11.

Moving on to the 148 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:17,839 superintendent's business. Mr. Chambers. >> Thank you, Madam Chair. School board. 149 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:22,399 Want to start off with a few um announcements and just some information 150 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:27,760 and then we're going to also have a food services update by the food services 151 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:31,839 department. But I'll first start off by uh just thanking you school board 152 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:36,880 members. As you know, we're starting our celebration of our A schools and we 153 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,639 started looking at the calendar this year and 154 00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:45,120 a lot of A schools. So, that's a good problem to have to be able to schedule 155 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:49,519 all of those. Uh we started with Walker uh last week. So, Mr. Bryant joined me 156 00:13:47,839 --> 00:13:53,920 and the other schools will be forthcoming over the course of the first 157 00:13:51,279 --> 00:13:56,639 semester. And it's always interesting, you know, when you're in a new school 158 00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:03,760 year, but you're also looking back to celebrate excellence. And this is just a 159 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:10,240 nice time. It was very uh rewarding to see the smiles on the faces of not only 160 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:15,120 teachers but staff as well. Um so it was just a nice time and as we go through 161 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:20,160 the first semester celebrating that a it's just uh it's good for all involved 162 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:25,040 especially the students and families as well. Also just want to then shift to 163 00:14:22,959 --> 00:14:30,160 this year. It's amazing. We're already past the midway point of the first nine 164 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:35,760 weeks. So, we have sent out information to families just uh really looking at 165 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:41,680 where students are gradewise. Also, our PM1 testing um is in essence is done. 166 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:45,760 So, our schools are looking at that data, communicating that to families as 167 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:49,760 well, but looking at that data to be able to help students where they are, 168 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:55,199 whether that's pushing them forward or providing extra supports. So, we're 169 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:59,680 already approaching the end of the first nine weeks here in 170 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:04,880 a few weeks. So, just want to make sure that everyone's on the same page in 171 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:09,920 terms of communication. Do have a special announcement and I'm 172 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:13,600 going to read um this one and it goes to the testament where we talk about being 173 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:18,160 an A+ school district. the state of Florida will dictate an A school 174 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:24,720 district. And we've always said the plus because of academics, the arts, and 175 00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:28,639 athletics. And it's very I'm just going to use the word neat, but 176 00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:32,240 that's not good enough. It's uh almost unique is the word that I was looking 177 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:37,279 for. And you look at Cresview High School band where they were named the 178 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:40,560 2026 Earl D. Irons program of distinction. And one of the things that 179 00:15:39,199 --> 00:15:44,480 you're going to hear here in a second, only two bands across the nation, the 180 00:15:43,199 --> 00:15:47,440 first ever in Florida. >> Wow. 181 00:15:45,199 --> 00:15:54,959 » And we're incredibly proud of Cresview High School, which has been named a 2026 182 00:15:51,680 --> 00:16:00,000 Earl D. Irons program of distinction by the five Beta Moo International. 183 00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:04,720 Crestview is one of only two band programs in the nation receiving this 184 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:09,440 honor and the first Florida band to receive the prestigious award. This 185 00:16:07,759 --> 00:16:13,680 recognition celebrates not only excellence of today's students and 186 00:16:10,959 --> 00:16:17,680 staff, but I love this as well, but the legacy of achievement, character, and 187 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:22,959 commitment to excellence built by generations of Crest View Band students, 188 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:29,360 directors, families, and community supporters since the program's founding 189 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:35,600 in 1938. The band will be formally recognized at 190 00:16:32,079 --> 00:16:39,199 the 2026 Midwest Clinic in Chicago in December. This is an extraordinary 191 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:44,079 accomplishment for Crestview High School and a tremendous point of pride for our 192 00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:48,720 school district. And as you know, Mr. Dunn over there at Crestview, um he's 193 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:54,320 one of the leaders of the arts in this school district. And what's so amazing 194 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:57,759 is, yes, he's all about his band program, but he's all about the band 195 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,839 programs >> in Okaloosa, the high school, middle 196 00:16:59,839 --> 00:17:07,439 school, and just the arts at the elementary as well. So just could not be 197 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:13,839 more proud to have this type of of an award. You have to have sustained 198 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:19,039 excellence over time and that's what uh the Crestview band represents and that's 199 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:23,520 definitely what Mr. Dunn represents. We will be recognizing him um in the 200 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:26,799 future, but just wanted to share this information with the board and the 201 00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:32,000 public as well >> because he's receiving a personal award 202 00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:36,960 too is my understanding that which Yeah. him and uh and as you know he's received 203 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:42,240 a few awards here uh here lately, >> right? That's great. 204 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:48,559 » Do want to say I'm gonna ask first uh Mr. Destin I have on my list here just 205 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,600 want to recognize a national merit semi- finalist. 206 00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:51,120 » Go for it. >> Do you have that? 207 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,000 » No. >> All right. Just want to um congratulate 208 00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:03,600 and celebrate um Miss Kira Foy and Mr. Destin and I uh 209 00:18:01,120 --> 00:18:10,720 just very proud when we saw this uh come across this student to be a national 210 00:18:07,919 --> 00:18:14,799 merit semi- finalist. Now I don't know about you all when I was in high school 211 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:20,480 um I was never eligible for such a thing and you have to have a whole lot going 212 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:26,080 on but Kira is among among 16,000 students nationwide. That's less than 1% 213 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:30,720 of students across high schools across this country. So to be in anything where 214 00:18:28,559 --> 00:18:37,039 in you're in the less than 1% in a good way that's uh that's very powerful. Um 215 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:43,280 she also um will be going forward for the 216 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:47,679 national finalist of the merit. So we have a whole lot going on with her. This 217 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:52,000 opens up so many opportunities for her as a student going into college in terms 218 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:57,520 of scholarships and opportunities and resumes. But the only way you get 219 00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:03,919 something like this is through um excellence and academics, challenging 220 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:08,720 yourself um more so than what I could have ever dreamed of doing um in high 221 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:12,080 school. So just congratulations to Kira Foy. 222 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:18,559 Do want to let the board know in terms of um student enrollment. This is 223 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:24,400 something that we continue to uh look at each and every day. Uh Mr. Spolski um is 224 00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:30,559 paying attention to it. I will say right now we are sitting at about 27,736 225 00:19:29,039 --> 00:19:36,360 students. Last year this time we at we were about 226 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:36,360 28,520. 227 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:44,559 A difference of this year compared to last year is you know when you do FTE 228 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:50,080 projections so we looked at the state model for this year and so we made our 229 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:55,600 FTE projection. We also went a little bit lower than the state model and we 230 00:19:53,520 --> 00:20:00,960 are looking good in terms of our enrollment and projection. We're a 231 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:08,080 little bit below the FTE projection uh but in a much better spot than last year 232 00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:14,320 this time. So still holding strong 27,736 233 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:19,120 district operated students. We have FTE coming up the first week in October. So 234 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:22,640 we continue to pay attention to our student enrollment and you know that's 235 00:20:20,799 --> 00:20:28,799 the survey 2 count. We'll then have the survey three count in February. So as 236 00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:33,039 Dr. White was here right now and he would say something to the effect of you 237 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,640 know FTE drives funding. So you have to be able to pay attention to that. Um and 238 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:43,840 I just appreciate the work of Mr. Spolski, Miss Mazerb and the entire team 239 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:48,159 in the FTE process. Do we have a count for 240 00:20:45,679 --> 00:20:53,919 » with that number? How how much of that is kindergarten that those numbers are 241 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:57,360 affected with kindergarten enrollment? >> So do you have that right off the top of 242 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:02,400 the head? >> We uh we are tracking very similar 243 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:06,240 kindergarten numbers as to last year. I think a lot of the reimagined pieces 244 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:10,000 that we did this year in the marketing actually held us to the same number as 245 00:21:08,799 --> 00:21:15,120 last year. um they're very excited on how those 246 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:18,400 pieces supported uh that otherwise if we wouldn't have done those things. It's 247 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:22,480 easy to speculate that it would be much lower. 248 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:26,640 » And uh I would just comment that uh you were talking about reimagining and the 249 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:31,280 marketing piece of it. I know I've seen several billboards where we're 250 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:35,440 encouraging people to uh with kindergarten students give Okaloosa 251 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:39,840 schools a chance. You know, >> I have I have a question. So survey two 252 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:43,120 is in October, right? When is survey one? 253 00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:48,960 » It's uh summertime. They don't actually collect funding. Uh survey two is in 254 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:53,880 October. Survey three is in February. And then they go to four and one in the 255 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,880 summertime. 256 00:21:54,159 --> 00:21:59,039 All right. Do want to let the board know it's 257 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:06,799 already the time where we're looking at legislative priorities and so we are uh 258 00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:10,000 continuing that process. Uh so we will be meeting with [clears throat] 259 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,520 each of you individually. We'll be talking about legislative priorities. 260 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:18,640 We'll be looking at the superintendent association priorities, the schoolboard 261 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:22,159 association priorities, obviously looking at our own uh we'll continue to 262 00:22:20,559 --> 00:22:26,400 look at certifications. We'll continue to look at the BSA, we'll continue to 263 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:32,840 look at teacher pay and other things amongst items that we will uh bring 264 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,840 forward. 265 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:43,600 And then lastly, but surely not lastly, just want to um take a moment to thank 266 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:48,559 our schools for recognizing uh an important day um September 11th. And 267 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,919 across the district, you know, it was raining that day, which uh some folks 268 00:22:50,880 --> 00:23:02,000 had to adjust, but across the district uh schools, the school district honored 269 00:22:58,159 --> 00:23:07,679 that day. And I don't know about you, I can remember exactly where I was. I was 270 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:11,440 in a sixth grade classroom over at Ruckle. And I'll never forget when 271 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:16,159 » as a student as a teacher, right? >> As a teacher, not as a student. Um, 272 00:23:13,919 --> 00:23:20,159 » please. >> Not sure what to say to that. Uh, 273 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,760 considering I was out of school the other day and they said I was old, but 274 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:29,679 that's all right. Um, but I'll never forget that moment and I'll never forget 275 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:37,120 the amount of students whose parents were either at the Pentagon 276 00:23:33,039 --> 00:23:43,440 or were on TDY and just the angst that that caused. I'll never forget uh Mrs. 277 00:23:40,159 --> 00:23:48,960 Morgan coming across the PA system and saying, "Turn the TVs on." 278 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:54,799 You think about that and in that moment sitting there for the first time with 279 00:23:51,600 --> 00:24:01,200 teachers, adults, sitting with students and watching what uh was unfolding in 280 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:06,320 terms of the news coverage and uh just the way that teachers during 281 00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:10,640 that time and I'll take myself out of the equation, but teachers during that 282 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:16,640 time, the way that they wrap their arms around those students and parents. Uh I 283 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:23,200 remember the the the pickup at the end of the day. Um just a lot of support 284 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,720 from educators to families and just couldn't be more thankful. I think it's 285 00:24:25,039 --> 00:24:29,919 definitely appropriate as well. You know, not only do we thank our military 286 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:36,720 for what they did during that time, but what they do today, but thanking our 287 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:41,200 EMS, our doctors, our nurses, our fire department, our police officers, you 288 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:45,440 know, just what they do every day when they wake up, they don't necessarily 289 00:24:42,559 --> 00:24:50,320 know what their day holds, but yet they're there for us every day. So, just 290 00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:56,000 say thank you. Um, and thank you to our schools, our administrators, teachers, 291 00:24:52,559 --> 00:25:01,360 and staff for honoring that day and honoring our first responders in such an 292 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:04,880 amazing way. So, just appreciate that. >> And with that, unless there's any 293 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:09,720 comments, I'm going to have food services come up. 294 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,720 » Okay. 295 00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:19,840 » Good morning. Thank you, Mr. Chambers, Madame Chair, board members. Um so we 296 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:25,200 just wanted to take a few minutes this morning and introduce our food service 297 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:29,520 department and highlight um the vital role that they play in the school 298 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:33,440 district. Uh they work very hard to feed our students so our students are ready 299 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:38,559 to learn when they get into the classroom. Um I appreciate Mr. Steve 300 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,960 Anderson being here. He's over our food service uh department, our program 301 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:48,159 director. I do see out there in the audience uh Derek Jones. He flew in from 302 00:25:45,279 --> 00:25:52,720 Dallas. He's with AirArk. he's their um vice regional vice president. So, thank 303 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:57,120 you Derek for being here. Uh these guys have worked hard over the school year 304 00:25:54,559 --> 00:26:02,720 and and the school year started smooth and uh we are off beating um a lot of 305 00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:07,200 students on a daily basis uh breakfast and lunch. So, I'm going to turn it over 306 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:10,640 to Mr. Anderson. >> U Madam Chair, board member, 307 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:15,520 Superintendent Chambers, thank you for allowing us to uh come and share some 308 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:20,000 information this morning. Um, just right out of the gate, all the pictures in 309 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:24,400 this quick slideshow are are are students, our employees. So, I think 310 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:30,159 that's important that we're uh kind of displaying that. 311 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:35,440 All right, I'll slow down. Um, just some quick brief uh information. 200, we have 312 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,480 200 plus staff members, um, managers and administrators in our food service 313 00:26:36,799 --> 00:26:43,039 program. That's obviously uh Oakland County School District employees as well 314 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:48,880 as AirArk employees. Um, we serve about 11,000 students a day. Um, we discussed 315 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:52,159 what a bang-up job we did over uh the summer. Um, I think we had more sites 316 00:26:50,799 --> 00:26:58,799 open over the summer feeding than we've ever had. Um, and we fed all of June and 317 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:03,120 all of July and over 70,000 meals. So, um, really had a great summer. Uh, this 318 00:27:01,039 --> 00:27:08,640 summer we also had our administrative review. And so, what that entails is the 319 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:12,960 state reviews our entire food service program. So they they do things from 320 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:17,279 Tallahassee as far as we send them financials. They look at our menus. So 321 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:21,679 they're checking all that. They also do on-site visits where they come and they 322 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:25,039 visit the sites and to make sure to see what we're doing as we're actually 323 00:27:23,039 --> 00:27:30,320 feeding kids. And so that was a very successful uh visit. We had no um no 324 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:34,720 correct corrective action needed. Uh we we passed with flying colors. So, um, 325 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:38,320 that's not not something I don't know if you guys are aware of how often that 326 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:42,240 occurs, but that's every 3 years for summer feeding and then as well for the 327 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:47,039 national school lunch program. So, um, again, our administrative view went 328 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:51,120 really well this summer. Um, just kind of some things we're 329 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:55,360 always uh we're always discussing that we want our food service experience to 330 00:27:53,440 --> 00:28:00,000 be a positive one for the students. You know, lots of times, uh, you know, bus 331 00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:03,679 drivers are the first to see them, but some of them car riders, we're the first 332 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,880 to see them, right? They're coming to breakfast. So, we want that to be a 333 00:28:05,039 --> 00:28:10,640 positive experience. Obviously, we want to serve them healthy, nutritious meals 334 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:14,480 as well. But again, that interaction is important. That's something we push to 335 00:28:12,399 --> 00:28:18,159 them as far as, hey, that you can really start a child's day off, specifically at 336 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,720 breakfast, or you can change a child's day at lunch. you know, if they're 337 00:28:19,279 --> 00:28:25,200 having a bad one, you can flip the switch on that or or or you can continue 338 00:28:23,679 --> 00:28:31,120 um making them feel good about their day. So, we really kind of make push 339 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:35,279 that message that positive experience. Make sure you're interacting with the 340 00:28:32,159 --> 00:28:38,559 kids positively. Um you know, we hear things about the menu all the time. I 341 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,279 know the superintendent said, you know, mentioned how much he's he enjoyed 342 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,320 lunch. And so, obviously, those standards have changed over time, right? 343 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:50,640 And so, we're we're guided by uh the USDA and FDEX. FDAX is the Florida 344 00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:54,559 Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. And so we have to follow all 345 00:28:53,039 --> 00:28:59,440 of their guidelines. And so unfortunately that results in, you know, 346 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:05,440 lower sodium content, lower fat content. And so, um, you know, again, the focus 347 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,480 is on healthy and and not necessarily back in our day where you would be 348 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:14,000 fighting over that extra roll at lunch or, you know, that big spoonful of 349 00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:18,080 gravy. Those aren't the same things. Um, uh, mentioned in here, 7 CFR 210. That's 350 00:29:16,399 --> 00:29:22,720 basically one of our bibles in the food service industry um for uh school food 351 00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:28,720 services. So a lot of our guidance comes out of that that that we have to follow. 352 00:29:26,559 --> 00:29:33,279 Um I brought a copy of this is so obviously 353 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:37,919 um if you are if you if you've been approved for free reduced meal service 354 00:29:35,679 --> 00:29:41,679 last year, right, you have a 30-day grace period to start the new year. So 355 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:46,559 you have 30 days that you're going to get that service. and our this year the 356 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:52,000 September 21st is our is our deadline. And so we start the year really pushing 357 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:55,279 out that information. Um these are things that we provide to the schools. 358 00:29:53,600 --> 00:30:00,080 Um it's double-sided. So we have it in English and we have it in Spanish. They 359 00:29:57,039 --> 00:30:03,919 go out year round in any mailouts we do. Doesn't matter if it's now or it's May, 360 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:08,320 we send these out so that it's just a reminder that hey, you can always apply 361 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:12,720 for lunch um of free or reduced meals anytime throughout the year. There's not 362 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:16,480 a deadline to do that, but if you want a continuation of your current service, 363 00:30:14,799 --> 00:30:21,440 you came into the year free. You got until the 21st to reapply. If you don't, 364 00:30:19,679 --> 00:30:24,880 then that expires and now we're chasing you to try and try and apply. So, you 365 00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:27,880 know, that's something we deal with um annually. 366 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:34,480 Uh, don't do that. All right. So, my attire, I know normally you wear a tie 367 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:39,919 here, but I thought this was a pretty cool story since I was presenting. So, 368 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:43,200 several years ago, um, uh, we wanted to do something for our 369 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:47,120 our folks, right? They're working hard and we wanted to, uh, give them a treat. 370 00:30:45,919 --> 00:30:51,919 So, we got with the state, what can we do? We got with the district, what are 371 00:30:48,399 --> 00:30:56,559 we able to do? And so, we decided we put out a contest where they could they 372 00:30:54,159 --> 00:31:02,559 could pick a slogan. And so, we had uh, folks in the in food services 373 00:31:00,159 --> 00:31:06,080 uh, give us some slogans. we we took a vote and this was the slogan, hands that 374 00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:09,600 serve, hearts that care. So, we had these shirts made um and we provided 375 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:13,039 them to all the employees. So, I just thought that was kind of a neat story of 376 00:31:11,039 --> 00:31:20,080 how these shirts came about. It was internally um voted on by by the staff 377 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:24,799 and and that's how that was selected. Um so, I'm going to pass this off to Mr. 378 00:31:21,679 --> 00:31:28,960 Christino um with Airmark. He's going to come up and 379 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:33,440 continuation of what's going on there, sir. Thank you. Morning everybody. My 380 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,200 name is Nathan Christine. I'm the new district manager from Aramark. Um I'll 381 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:41,919 give a brief presentation on where we stand from a nutrition partnership with 382 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:45,519 the school district. Um a quick overview of synopsis what 383 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:49,679 I'll be presenting today. We're going to talk a little about communication uh 384 00:31:47,279 --> 00:31:52,880 fluid transparency between the board and airmark operations to make sure that 385 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:57,039 we're continually providing excellent service to every uh student every day. 386 00:31:55,840 --> 00:32:00,080 We'll talk a little bit about the marketing enhancements, their 387 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:04,480 innovations you may have seen within the schools the last three weeks, a little 388 00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:08,240 bit about our social media, where we staying with our Facebook PLA platforms 389 00:32:06,559 --> 00:32:13,120 and some of the other um items like LinkedIn. We'll talk about that program 390 00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:16,559 growth, HR staffing and retention, where we staying with our staffing model and 391 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,440 how we're effectively supporting our schools in our region. and then a little 392 00:32:18,399 --> 00:32:24,000 bit of the cool things that we're going to be do uh uh focusing on our culinary 393 00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:28,320 our LTO's student um culinary competition which I'll talk more in 394 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:32,559 depth in depth about so flow communication for us it's 395 00:32:30,399 --> 00:32:37,519 extremely important to make sure that we have full transparency in how we operate 396 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:41,840 our programs between one-on-one dialogue and also how we execute within our 397 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:45,760 schools. So how we started my first couple weeks being here as being here in 398 00:32:43,919 --> 00:32:49,600 less than a month. Uh I started a program where we look at uh strategy and 399 00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:54,480 plan with the district first and foremost making sure that uh cadence is 400 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:58,000 set between not only um general like grant but also as Steve as well to make 401 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:03,120 sure that we understand where we're going and what we're doing if anything 402 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:07,039 gets uh uh changed within the platform strategy. The support and timeline are 403 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:11,039 communicated fluidly. So if we have to make adjustments, we're we're easily 404 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:15,679 able to transition and pivot to the next uh uh item that would be needed to to be 405 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:18,399 fully supported. From there, we have district monthly meetings. We had one 406 00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:23,120 last week with the team for the first time for the month. Uh greatly uh 407 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:26,480 greatly well supported by all our kms and the rest of the some of the district 408 00:33:24,399 --> 00:33:30,159 team members. We have airmark weekly team meetings to support any initiatives 409 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:34,480 that come out of our first and strategy meetings. and then along with our weekly 410 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:38,399 one-on- ones not only with my team but also also the team members within the 411 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:42,720 district. And then how it goes full circle for us is really um the uh the 412 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:47,440 meetings that the supervisors have with their team. So we cover a multitude of 413 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:50,720 items such as safety meetings. We make sure that all of our team are supported 414 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:55,519 with the shoes recruits program to eliminate slip strips and falls. We also 415 00:33:52,799 --> 00:33:58,960 have KM roundts. So that means kitchen uh managers. So if they have any 416 00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,399 concerns, issues within each school, we're able to provide more dialogue and 417 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:06,799 more direction to help support them, whether it's inventory control or again 418 00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:10,480 keeping our team safe and making sure that we're aligned with our programs. 419 00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:14,000 And then lastly, we do one-on ones. Not only do I do one-on- ones with my team, 420 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:18,560 but the CMs do one-on- ones with their supervisor and I sit on sit on most of 421 00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:21,919 those. So, how it goes full circle is we're all communicating within a week 422 00:34:20,159 --> 00:34:25,280 cycle to make sure if anything needs to be accomplished in a in a quick time 423 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,280 frame, we're able to make that pivoting change. 424 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,760 Next piece I want to look at are some of the renovations we've done within the 425 00:34:31,359 --> 00:34:39,040 operations. So, you see PL's before and after photos. Great marketing strategy. 426 00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:42,720 I think we've got over 20 plus schools that we've um overhauled in the last 3 427 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:46,240 weeks. You can see the color, the vibrant layout from our marketing team. 428 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,720 And this is just the beginning. you're going to see a little bit more 429 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:52,399 enhancement over the course of the year um to show what we can do in our offer 430 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,679 more of our marketing strategy to help support some of the new culinary 431 00:34:54,159 --> 00:35:00,640 initiatives along with the healthy eating standards. 432 00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:04,640 Here's the before and after at Ruckle. Same same mentality. It's a different 433 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:09,440 package from the Rally Cafe, but she can already see the vibrant changes as our 434 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:13,200 students walk through. And then a couple other after pictures. 435 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:16,880 Destin Middle looks amazing now the renovations completed along with Fort 436 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:22,079 Walton. The color scheme really aligns with what the strategy was at that at 437 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,720 that at the high school. So as you're in your travels or you're walking into 438 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:29,599 schools, we have over 20 schools that have already been renovated. There'll be 439 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:32,640 a few other modifications to some of the marketing materials in the next coming 440 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:36,560 weeks. We're adding a mural over at Destin um Niceville High School. So as 441 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,400 those get completed, we should be wrapping up by the end of the month. 442 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:46,400 some of the staffing um not just concerns but things we've been to help 443 00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:50,079 enhance over the last few weeks. Um a quick overview was August 11th was my 444 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,520 first day. So the first thing I did would make sure that we were able to 445 00:35:51,839 --> 00:35:56,800 support our schools efficiently and take a look at our staffing models. So what 446 00:35:55,359 --> 00:36:00,079 we've done is um really looked at some of the opportunities we had within 447 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,839 within some of our schools and the biggest one we had was Baker. we were 448 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:07,760 deficient in a few few of our openings and since I'm glad to say that we've 449 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:12,240 we're almost back to full strength by offering a few uh unique opportunities 450 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:16,240 to support each each school. So things that we've done to help implement this 451 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:19,760 staffing structure and support. We have daily human resources calls with our 452 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,680 leadership team but also the district to help support not only job fairs at 453 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:27,280 locations both north and south but we did just one at Baker a week and a half 454 00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:31,359 ago which allowed us to get fully fully staffed at that location. So, we 455 00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:35,119 pinpoint our opportunities, find out what really needs to get supported, and 456 00:36:33,119 --> 00:36:39,920 we send a multitude of resources to help support those impacted areas. And then 457 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:43,599 future state, um, continue to have our HR calls sporadically to ensure that 458 00:36:41,839 --> 00:36:47,680 we're continually staffing our operations. But not only that, uh, 459 00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:52,079 ongoing recruiting, which with open positions, but I'm looking towards a 460 00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:55,760 third-party solution and, um, additional staffing support, whether it's temp 461 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:59,280 agencies in case we need to go down that go down that avenue. Hopefully we never 462 00:36:57,599 --> 00:37:03,200 get to that point, but if we do, we'll have a strategy in place to make sure 463 00:37:01,119 --> 00:37:06,960 next next school go we're 100% fully staffed. 464 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,760 This is something that's really neat. It's called the Culinary Star 465 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:14,720 Competition, and it's something that Aramark rolls out nationally. So, we 466 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:18,320 have a few high schools um that are interested in um competing in the 467 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:22,240 competition. We have three schools, which is wonderful. this year. Um 468 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:26,640 they'll get the um information on what the platform looks like and what what 469 00:37:24,720 --> 00:37:31,040 the culinary um aptitude they're going to have to try to achieve. And I believe 470 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:35,040 this one is based upon um uh Asian techniques and and that part of the 471 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:38,240 world when it comes to the culinary needs. So what's going to happen is 472 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:42,320 they'll have a competition on October 23rd. The winner from that competition 473 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:45,760 will be sent to Dallas to compete nationally. So, it's a really great 474 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:50,240 accomplishment for those who are looking to expand their culinary platform or 475 00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:53,839 hopefully maybe some down the road they could be employed with the school 476 00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:57,200 system. So, from start to finish, it's a great idea. I think it's going to go 477 00:37:55,599 --> 00:38:01,599 really well within our schools and hopefully we bring them a winner uh 478 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:05,280 nationally. And then some other pieces, enhancing 479 00:38:03,599 --> 00:38:09,040 our communications, you know, I talked a little bit about Facebook, uh Instagram, 480 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:12,880 LinkedIn. I think we need to do a little bit better job from our perspective to 481 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:18,000 really showcase what we do in our our schools and really give more feedback on 482 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:21,599 these platforms. A lot of our um we've already initiate initiated that in the 483 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:25,680 last two weeks, but you'll see much more communication in the near future. Um we 484 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:30,079 also have a newsletter that's supported, but I I think the biggest enhancement is 485 00:38:28,240 --> 00:38:33,520 the links that you see here, which will be an opportunity for anyone to click 486 00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:38,960 and and show what they need to look at or any content they like they'd like to 487 00:38:35,599 --> 00:38:43,040 add to it as well. A couple culinary enhancements we have 488 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:47,040 from last year this year. Our LTO offerings is almost quadrupled than it 489 00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:52,160 was in in last year. So you'll see a monthly um monthly overhaul on some of 490 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:56,640 our neat and exciting food service options. Not only are they nutritious, 491 00:38:54,560 --> 00:39:00,000 but they're extremely healthy as well. Uh that's supported by a lot of our 492 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:03,599 marketing campaigns. So, as students walk through with the enhanced marketing 493 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:06,880 that we've just established, they'll be able to see start to finish on what the 494 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,800 product looks like and then be able to sample it as well. On the right hand 495 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:15,280 corner, you'll see another uh LTO. It's poppy. It's a very popular uh drink. 496 00:39:13,839 --> 00:39:19,280 It's actually much healthier than your Coca-Cas or your or your Pepsi products 497 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:22,960 out there. So, we're excited to bring some of those healthy initiatives to to 498 00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:29,440 some of the platforms. >> Madam Chair, I have a question for you. 499 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:32,240 » Uh so, yes. So, uh, all these LTO's, these are only offered at the high 500 00:39:31,119 --> 00:39:35,640 school level. Is this correct? >> Correct. Okay. 501 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:42,160 » Uh, summer meals. A little feedback on how the meals went this summer. So, we 502 00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:46,800 provided 71,755 meals to our children under 18. Uh, 503 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:52,400 27,848 were breakfast and four 43,926 504 00:39:50,079 --> 00:39:56,240 were lunch. So, a successful program. We're looking forward to next year to 505 00:39:54,240 --> 00:39:59,640 see what how many more more meals we're able to provide. 506 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,960 » And that's our presentation. >> Thank you. 507 00:40:03,359 --> 00:40:07,440 » Excellent. Thank you very much. Appreciate that. 508 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:11,920 » Uh don't run off. >> Okay. We have questions. 509 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:16,320 » I do. So, uh Aramark is a huge corporation 510 00:40:13,119 --> 00:40:20,800 » and I notice under Aramark here says student nutrition. 511 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:26,880 So ARARK student nutrition is different from Aramark that you would deal with at 512 00:40:23,839 --> 00:40:31,520 uh sporting events or even prisons and things like that. So can you kind of 513 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:35,920 break down the difference between and you might have did a little bit but 514 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:42,560 Aramark student nutrition versus all your other entities out there? How is 515 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:46,720 that unique to let's say going to a sporting event and see an air mark being 516 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:50,079 served? you know, because y'all do a big concessions. 517 00:40:47,839 --> 00:40:54,400 » Uh, you also have I know you also have prison contracts. You have multiple 518 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,000 contracts around besides student services. 519 00:40:55,520 --> 00:41:02,800 » Can you just kind of quickly the difference between that and those other 520 00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:06,640 platforms that I just mentioned? >> Uh, as someone who's worked in multiple 521 00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:10,800 fields with an airark, I've done not only in K through 12, but I've also done 522 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:14,720 um I worked at the Cleveland Clinic for four and a half years with Armark. I 523 00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:18,319 also served at senior life. So the platforms are very different based upon 524 00:41:16,079 --> 00:41:23,280 the needs of each individual client. Um so within the healthcare services you're 525 00:41:20,319 --> 00:41:27,680 looking at um retail, you're looking at patient services, feeding patients in 526 00:41:25,359 --> 00:41:31,280 rooms with multiple cycle week menus. Same thing is really similar to what we 527 00:41:29,359 --> 00:41:35,040 do here. We have a multiple cycle week menu customized to each individual 528 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:38,880 school. So that helps support our us regionally. But I think what you're 529 00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:42,880 really looking for is airmark support nationally because we do have a lot of 530 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:46,880 regional opportunities that help bring people here to our locations. For 531 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:51,760 example, if we're in a labor crunch, we do utilize some of our resources from 532 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:56,960 the um convention centers to help support us in that in that aspect. So 533 00:41:54,240 --> 00:42:02,319 from staffing, from operations support, from a culinary perspective or programs, 534 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:06,880 I think that's what separates us from um other divisions. But if you're looking 535 00:42:03,839 --> 00:42:10,720 more specific when it comes to say what's better is it is it 536 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:15,920 » nutrition or you you kind of did where you talked about the what's required 537 00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:19,200 what the food you know because let's face it you go to a ball game there's 538 00:42:17,839 --> 00:42:22,800 going to be a lot of sodium in the food there versus what's here and that's what 539 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:29,440 I was trying to get at just there's a clear difference between Aramark student 540 00:42:25,839 --> 00:42:33,280 services versus food services and and here comes Mr. Anderson, I think he 541 00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:37,359 could piggyback on that. I will say, Mr. Brian, it's a good question. I I 542 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:42,880 understand your question and I will say uh that the school district itself works 543 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:49,440 with uh Aramark and we're able to create the menus um with within a parameter and 544 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:54,400 uh we're still using the same vendors where we ordered food that as we always 545 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:57,839 have and and we work with Aramark on what that menu consists of. So, Mr. 546 00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,760 Anderson. >> So just two things in reference to one 547 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:05,680 of the he so uh in creating a menu right air will create the menu. We also submit 548 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:09,200 that for approval uh for each of our programs national school lunch we air 549 00:43:07,839 --> 00:43:12,480 creates the menu. We send it to the state they approve that it's meeting all 550 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,200 the nutritional needs of the children. We do that for summer feeding as well. 551 00:43:14,079 --> 00:43:18,560 The other thing I will say the difference is we deal in commodities 552 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:24,480 right so those are those are donated foods the federal government sends to 553 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:27,520 each of the states. And so our the the products that we bring in are commodity 554 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:31,680 products. They're not purchased goods like you'd have at a um like a stadium, 555 00:43:29,839 --> 00:43:35,920 right? They don't use commodities, any of those programs. Our our program is 556 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:38,560 specifically for national commodities for children. 557 00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:42,160 » And and I and I appreciate that. I think it's important to understand that people 558 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:46,880 who are actually watching this presentation right now understand how it 559 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:50,560 works. You know, the commodities part. You're right. I mean, we do rely on the 560 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:57,040 federal government to supply us with with food and uh uh and thus that's the 561 00:43:54,880 --> 00:44:01,119 difference there. There's there's a lot of, you know, nuances to it, but I think 562 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:05,760 it's important under that people understand that Aramark, the huge 563 00:44:03,119 --> 00:44:11,040 company that it is, has to, you know, accommodate for the Okaloosa County 564 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:15,920 School District and versus than they would uh uh the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or 565 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:20,079 » totally different rules, right? Totally different guidelines they have to follow 566 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:23,119 in terms of what needs we have to meet for children 567 00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:25,040 » for children of food or whatever else they 568 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:29,280 » 100% totally different program >> 7 CFR like you mentioned designates 569 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,040 exactly how it has to be healthy right correct 570 00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:35,040 » that was you had mentioned that's kind of the the the guide northstar for how 571 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:40,319 we're making these decisions and I'm sensitive to the criticism that I think 572 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:43,920 um my colleagues alluding to which is of course air is a big company serves a lot 573 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,880 of folks a lot of different institutions one of the biggest critiques when people 574 00:44:45,359 --> 00:44:51,839 are upset about school lunches. They go they're they're serving the kids prison 575 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:55,520 food because it's a large corporation and they go it could be the same 576 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:59,440 incentives and so that's simply not occurring. And I think it was important 577 00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:02,000 for for you to mention that and I appreciate the clarifications that 578 00:45:00,596 --> 00:45:05,839 [clears throat] you both just gave because it's out there and and we hear 579 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,839 it sometimes from from time to time. This is just a good opportunity to put 580 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:12,480 that to rest. >> No, I appreciate it. And I I will 581 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:17,040 comment that any concerns that I've had over the last year of this contract uh 582 00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:22,079 and I know Mr. Vanchek has also mentioned uh I appreciate the fact that 583 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:27,200 there has been communication and I'm unique because y'all actually use my 584 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:32,000 office in Carver Hill for training. So I you know it's uh uh I can kind of know 585 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:35,839 that it's being used because I always get you know say hey we're going to use 586 00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:39,119 your office. But, uh, I do appreciate the communication and I know and I can't 587 00:45:37,839 --> 00:45:45,599 speak for my other board members, but I'm sure they also do, too. So, 588 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:49,599 » all right. Anything else board? Thank you so much for being here. It's great 589 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:53,119 to see you and and thank you for the presentation. 590 00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:56,720 » Thank you. >> And that is it. 591 00:45:54,079 --> 00:46:02,000 » Okay. Thank you, sir. All right. Good stuff. All right. Moving on to um 592 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:04,400 section 13, board members announcements. All right. I'm going to start with you, 593 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:08,240 Mr. Bryant. Do you have anything to announce today? 594 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:13,920 » Uh just uh one thing. Uh as you can see, I am wearing my Davidson Panther shirt 595 00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:17,280 and this is part of just a series of things I'm going to do over the next 596 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:22,000 couple of months. But this is the last actual named school up in Crestview that 597 00:46:19,839 --> 00:46:28,160 we'll be highlighting and did a little research on it. And the school opened up 598 00:46:24,319 --> 00:46:32,560 in 1996 along with Antioch. So there was a time when we actually opened two 599 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:36,640 schools at the same time. So, uh, and quite regularly because that was the 600 00:46:34,319 --> 00:46:42,880 last of the, uh, two schools that we opened in the 20th century, but 601 00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:47,839 Davidson is not actually named after one person. It's actually named after a 602 00:46:44,720 --> 00:46:52,640 family of educators in Okaloosa County. And, uh, I thought that was very uh, uh, 603 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:55,760 interesting. But also, one of our former colleagues is a Davidson. That would be 604 00:46:54,480 --> 00:47:00,480 Dr. Diane Kelly. >> That's right. So, uh, so it's really 605 00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:06,560 interesting to to to know that piece of history. Uh, also, uh, Davidson has a a 606 00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:12,720 huge winning tradition over the years and in athletics. Uh, also they rise 607 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:17,839 high in academics. Uh, they've been a school for the last four years, I 608 00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:22,400 believe it is, consistently. Uh, the principal there now is Miss Laura King 609 00:47:19,839 --> 00:47:26,960 and her team. if you go there. Uh really exciting things to see all the things 610 00:47:24,079 --> 00:47:32,319 that they have going on at Davidson. Uh but I I will just say that um you know I 611 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:37,280 live right across the street from Davidson so I get to see all the great 612 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:42,720 things that are happening there. I also get to deal with the traffic too. So uh 613 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:46,319 but I I will just say that uh Davidson is doing a great job. Their enrollment's 614 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:49,359 down a little bit because of Pine View. So, it's uh you know, a little bit 615 00:47:48,277 --> 00:47:55,200 [clears throat] more manageable when you go in there. Uh speaking of lunches, but 616 00:47:52,960 --> 00:48:00,640 uh Davidson does a great job. But to the Davidson family, uh of educators, we 617 00:47:58,079 --> 00:48:05,440 appreciate them. And what a what an honor for their for that school to be 618 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:07,839 named after a family. So, uh thank you for that opportunity to talk about 619 00:48:07,119 --> 00:48:10,560 Davidson. >> Doesn't seem like it's been 30 years. 620 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,520 » 30 years >> since we opened that school. 621 00:48:11,599 --> 00:48:16,720 » Yeah. And Antioch, too. So, you think about it. 622 00:48:13,839 --> 00:48:20,319 » I know. I know. Okay, Mr. Destin, you're up. 623 00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:25,040 » Not much other than uh October 9th, everybody set your calendars. We're 624 00:48:22,319 --> 00:48:29,440 going to do the um Silver Sands >> Fish Fry. We do it every year. We're uh 625 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:34,559 going to raise a bunch of money for their programming. So, October 9th um I 626 00:48:33,119 --> 00:48:38,400 believe it's going to probably be around 5:00 p.m. we will get [snorts] started. 627 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:41,920 Other than that, I think I'm good. Thanks. 628 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:47,440 » Always good. All right, Mr. Heinland. >> Okay. Uh, I'm continuing my tradition 629 00:48:44,559 --> 00:48:52,240 here making my school board members study their history. Today's 14th is the 630 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:56,000 14th president of the United States. >> Well, Lincoln was 16. 15. 631 00:48:54,079 --> 00:48:58,720 » That would be Franklin Pierce. >> Very good. 632 00:48:56,720 --> 00:49:01,720 » Who's 15? Who was the one between? >> Andrew. 633 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:12,520 » There you go. >> Okay. So, Mr. Parker, what's 14 plus 31? 634 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,520 » Let's see. 635 00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:20,720 Who was the 35th president? >> Yeah. 35 35. 636 00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,960 » Reagan >> 40. 637 00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:25,599 » Kennedy. >> Kennedy. John. 638 00:49:24,319 --> 00:49:29,359 » There you go. Good guess. >> So, you know, I try to make history a 639 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:34,319 little fun, but I I just want to um mention this um history-wise. You know, 640 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:40,079 911 was a huge day. It's >> 25 years. So if you go back in history, 641 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:44,000 the last time that this or the only other time that this country was 642 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:48,079 attacked was Pearl Harbor. Equivalently about the same number of people killed, 643 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:52,319 Americans killed at the same time. But history is changed a little bit or not 644 00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:58,160 history but the times have changed a little bit because 25 years from Pearl 645 00:49:55,440 --> 00:50:04,240 Harbor was 1966 or 67 646 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:08,880 » 66 I guess. And you know the country didn't come together like they did on 647 00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:13,680 this 25th anniversary from Pearl Harbor because that was a different time. So it 648 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:19,280 just says something. It's been 25, you know, multiple decades, you know, um 649 00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:23,040 that that happened is still very impactful to this country. 650 00:50:21,119 --> 00:50:26,400 » History is important and we always need to keep it and learn from it. 651 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:33,599 » Yeah. I think uh when you go back to Pearl Harbor the call that they you know 652 00:50:30,319 --> 00:50:38,240 after the attack Americans did it in a different way where they basically went 653 00:50:35,359 --> 00:50:42,480 and joined the service and and I know uh after 911 there was an increase but 654 00:50:40,559 --> 00:50:46,559 you're right I mean it was just a different uh 655 00:50:44,079 --> 00:50:49,920 » how how America received that because I think because of all the technology it 656 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:54,240 was happening in real time >> it was that 657 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:57,839 » you know and you could watch it you know >> but also So I believe that you know 658 00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:04,000 Pearl Harbor was in Hawaii which at that time not a lot of people have been to 659 00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:09,520 Hawaii and in fact it wasn't a state yet right and 42 and of course hitting on 660 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,040 our homeland you know made a difference so 661 00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:15,280 » for sure. >> Okay. All right. So a couple things I 662 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:19,200 have first of all board members next meeting we're going to be having a 663 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:24,000 presentation from the Okaloosa Public Schools Foundation and they're going to 664 00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:28,559 give you some great information. They they do wonderful things. So, and 665 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:32,400 speaking of that, they're doing a um a call out now.
