Updates on the Fight for Quality Public Education in Brevard County, FL
6:00 .
10:25 Good morning and welcome to the October 15th,
10:29 2024 board meeting.
10:30 It is now in order.
10:31 Thank you for your patience.
10:32 We obviously had some backup on I-95 this morning,
10:34 which caused a slight delay in our start time,
10:35 so I apologize for that.
10:37 I’d like to welcome my fellow board members
10:38 and the public to our meeting.
10:40 Paul, roll call, please.
10:41 Ms. Wright.
10:42 Here.
10:43 Mr. Trent.
10:44 Here.
10:45 Mr. Susan.
10:46 Here.
10:47 Ms. Jenkins.
10:48 Here.
10:49 Ms. Campbell.
10:50 Here.
10:51 At this moment, the board would like to hold a moment of silence
10:52 and I invite the audience to join.
10:53 All right.
11:22 Please rise for the Pledge of Allegiance.
11:28 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
11:32 and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God,
11:36 indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
11:45 All right, that will bring us to the adoption of the agenda.
11:52 Dr. Rendell.
11:53 Thank you, madam chair.
11:54 On this morning’s agenda, we have 69 action items that are
11:56 public hearing items.
11:57 Do I hear a motion?
11:59 Move to approve.
12:00 Second.
12:01 Any discussion?

12:14 We will take a public hearing to address the following policies.
12:17 There are 69 of them, so you’re going to have to bear with us.
12:20 We will go through each one of them.
12:21 The first policy is policy 0131, which is legislative policy
12:27 making.
12:28 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?

12:49 All right.
12:50 Our next policy is board policy 0147.1, travel expenses.
12:51 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
12:56 Hearing none, do I hear a motion?
12:57 Move to approve.
12:58 Second.
12:59 Any discussion?
13:00 Paul, roll call, please.
13:01 Ms. Jenkins.
13:02 Aye.
13:03 Ms. Campbell.
13:04 Aye.
13:05 Ms. Wright.
13:06 Aye.
13:07 Mr. Trent.
13:08 Aye.
13:09 Mr. Susan.
13:10 Aye.
13:11 All right.
13:12 Our next policy is board policy 0147.1, travel expenses.
13:13 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
13:16 Yes.
13:17 Can you see me?
13:18 Yes.
13:19 Thank you.
13:20 Come on up to the microphone.
13:21 Yes.
13:22 Thank you so much.
13:23 I didn’t realize that there were an opportunity to do public
13:28 comments today, so I’m not really
13:30 quite that prepared, but here’s what I shared with you at my
13:34 last comment, and again, thank
13:36 you board and Dr. Rendell for allowing us to share.
13:40 In my experience as an operations manager, I value my employees’
13:47 feedback and my employees’
13:50 input, and one of the things I will hope this board will
13:54 consider is during your meeting
13:56 process when a community partner shares an idea that there’s a
14:03 closed loop system, and
14:06 some ideas may not be all good ideas, but some ideas could be an
14:10 idea that will help
14:11 improve your processes or even improve your actual operations.
14:17 So I’m hoping the board will consider during your public
14:21 comments those input that you
14:23 get from the public that the public do receive some feedback on
14:27 those items, because you
14:29 have a lot of people, and I’m going to say myself, as well as
14:34 other community partners
14:36 spend a lot of time analyzing processes, looking at procedures,
14:41 looking at what they have experienced
14:44 in their lifetime that they want to feed back to the board, and
14:48 the community wants to know
14:50 that the board is listening, and the only way we get that
14:54 feedback is through the board,
14:56 through some type of closed loop system.
15:01 So we will ask you if you will consider those items that you
15:05 think that are important to
15:07 your operation, that you provide that person some type of
15:12 feedback on their ideas.
15:14 Like I said, all ideas may not be beneficial to your vision, but
15:19 some of those could be
15:20 beneficial to your operation, because I believe that the voice
15:26 of the people is so important
15:29 to their support of you and for their support of the children
15:33 that they represent.
15:35 So if you will consider in your procedure to add a closed loop
15:40 process where someone
15:42 who took the time to stand before you to share ideas to you,
15:46 that you will provide some type
15:49 of feedback to them.
15:50 Thank you very much.
15:52 Thank you, Mr. Bryan.
15:54 All right.
15:56 Do I hear a motion?
15:57 Move to approve.
15:58 Is there a second?
15:59 Second.
16:00 Okay.
16:01 Any discussion?
16:02 I just want to say, for Mr. Bryan, there’s been several ideas
16:05 that you have personally
16:07 brought before us to the board, and I am trying to get better at
16:09 this.
16:09 I am taking your advice on just saying, hey, I want to make you
16:12 aware of certain things
16:14 that maybe you aren’t aware of whenever a comment comes before,
16:17 but I appreciate your
16:18 feedback and the fact that we definitely can do better on
16:20 communicating, so I will continually
16:21 try to improve that process.
16:25 Any other discussion?
16:26 Roll call, please.
16:27 Ms. Campbell.
16:28 Aye.
16:29 Ms. Wright.
16:30 Aye.
16:31 Mr. Trent.
16:32 Aye.
16:33 Mr. Susan.
16:34 Aye.
16:35 All right.
16:36 We are on to board policy 0169.1, public participation at board
16:38 meetings.
16:38 Is there anyone present who wishes to discuss this item?
16:40 All right.
16:41 Looks like we have someone coming forward.
16:44 Good morning, board.
16:45 Thank you for the opportunity to provide public feedback on
16:48 these proposed policy changes.
16:49 Again, I want to reiterate that I think the inclusion of
16:54 irrelevant comments is a dangerous
16:57 precedent.
17:00 I think we’ve all seen the chaos that has happened at the county
17:05 commission board meetings
17:07 using a similar policy.
17:10 I think it quiets free speech and public input and public
17:16 comment.
17:17 I just hope this board doesn’t abuse this particular part of the
17:23 policy.
17:24 Thank you.
17:29 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this item?
17:31 Seeing none, do I hear a motion?
17:34 Move to approve.
17:35 Second.
17:36 Any discussion?
17:37 No?
17:38 No discussion?
17:40 OK.
17:41 All right.
17:42 Paul, roll call, please.
17:43 Ms. Campbell?
17:44 Aye.
17:45 Ms. Wright?
17:46 Aye.
17:47 Mr. Trent?
17:48 Aye.
17:49 Mr. Susan?
17:50 Aye.
17:51 All right.
17:52 We are on to board policy 1242, professional development, which
17:53 is being rescinded.
17:53 Is there anyone present who wishes to discuss this item?
17:58 Seeing none, do I hear a motion?
17:59 Move to approve.
18:00 Second.
18:01 Any discussion?
18:02 Paul, roll call, please.
18:03 Ms. Jenkins?
18:04 Aye.
18:05 Ms. Campbell?
18:06 Aye.

18:09 Mr. Trent?
18:10 Aye.
18:11 Mr. Susan?
18:12 Aye.
18:13 All right.
18:14 We are on to board policy 2210, which is the curriculum
18:16 development.
18:17 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
18:22 Seeing none, do I hear a motion?
18:25 Move to approve.
18:26 Second.
18:27 Any discussion?
18:28 No?
18:29 Paul, roll call, please.
18:30 Ms. Jenkins?
18:31 Aye.
18:32 Ms. Campbell?
18:33 Aye.
18:34 Ms. Wright?
18:35 Aye.
18:36 Mr. Trent?
18:37 Aye.
18:38 Mr. Susan?
18:39 Aye.
18:40 Anybody present who wishes to address this item?
18:41 All right.
18:42 Oops.
18:43 I didn’t realize I didn’t.
18:46 Yeah.
18:47 I’ve gone in and looked at some of the curriculum for this, and
18:57 I’ll be honest with you, I’m
18:58 kind of concerned.
19:00 Resiliency is a great characteristic.
19:02 I question whether it’s something that can be taught.
19:07 A lot of psychologists feel it’s not.
19:10 It’s something that can be brought about, but it’s not something
19:17 that you teach, and
19:18 that’s my concern with this.
19:20 I know where this came from, from the governor’s wife, resiliency
19:26 education, and I like some
19:28 of the things that are laid out in here, but this idea that resiliency
19:36 is going to fix
19:37 all the issues with this younger generation, it really paints a
19:42 picture of that the younger
19:45 generation are a bunch of quitters, and it’s simply not true.
19:47 The younger generation are simply smarter than we were at their
19:51 age.
19:52 They’re brighter, they’re more informed, and because they don’t
19:56 want to do something doesn’t
19:58 mean they’re not resilient.
19:59 It just means that maybe they’re smart enough to do the cost-benefit
20:03 analysis on it, so
20:04 I’m really concerned about this.
20:06 I’ve looked at the state curriculum materials, they’re lacking
20:13 to say the least, they’re
20:16 biased to say the worst, so I know this is coming from the state,
20:22 but I’m really concerned
20:24 about this policy.
20:25 Thank you.
20:26 -Thank you.
20:27 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this item?
20:30 Do we hear a motion?
20:32 -Move to approve.
20:33 -Second.
20:34 -Any discussion?
20:35 -In the spirit of having a closed-loop system, I’m not going to
20:39 completely agree with Mr.
20:42 Ross, but just to present a perspective, I think, whether you
20:50 call it resiliency or whether
20:53 you call it mental health education, if you look at these
20:56 standards that are in, at least
20:57 on the policy, I know the curriculum may have changed, but a lot
21:00 of it is the same kind
21:01 of thing, and there can be a stigma, even though our young
21:04 people are constantly talking
21:06 about mental health, there can be a stigma in calling it mental
21:09 health.
21:09 In reality, mental health is something we all have.
21:13 Problems with mental health is something that not everybody has,
21:16 but most of us do, but
21:17 this idea of resiliency is, to me, is the idea that this is
21:20 something that everybody
21:21 needs regardless to prepare you, but if you look at the things,
21:25 the required instruction,
21:29 besides the prevention of suicide and alcohol and drug abuse,
21:35 the awareness of school and
21:38 community resources, those are things that were already a part
21:40 of our, like, five-and-a-half
21:41 hours that we had.
21:43 Change the label on it, we’re still talking about the same kinds
21:45 of things, and to be
21:46 quite honest, this idea of self-awareness, self-management, mentorship,
21:50 honesty, critical
21:51 thinking, grit, those kinds of things are good for all of our
21:54 students, I believe, and
21:56 I think that’s a good thing for us to support.
22:00 Just to piggyback on what you said as well, one of the bullet
22:03 points in here is the recognition
22:04 of signs and symptoms of mental health concerns, so I know that
22:07 there was a change from mental
22:08 health to resiliency, so I do believe that they kind of work
22:11 well together, and that’s
22:13 something I think every parent wants to build on their child, is
22:16 the spirit of being resilient
22:17 and being able to get back up whenever something is not going
22:20 well, so I understand your hesitation
22:22 or your concern there, but I believe every single one of these
22:24 bullet points are strong
22:25 things that we would want instilled in every citizen in our
22:30 country.
22:31 Any other discussion?
22:32 No.

23:06 Aye.
23:07 All right, we are on to Board Policy 2266, which is non-discrimination
23:08 on the basis of
23:08 sex and education programs and activities.
23:09 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
23:15 No.
23:16 All right, do I hear a motion?
23:18 Move to approve.
23:19 Second.
23:20 Any discussion?
23:21 Paul, roll call, please.
23:22 Ms. Jenkins.
23:23 Aye.
23:24 Ms. Campbell.
23:25 - Mr. Trent. - Aye.
23:26 - Mr. Susan. - Aye.
23:28 - All right, on to Board Policy 2271,
23:29 Articulation and Access to the Flourish College
23:32 Systems Institutions.
23:33 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
23:40 Do I hear a motion? - Move to approve.
23:41 - Second. - Any discussion?
23:44 No, all right, Paul, roll call, please.
23:46 - Ms. Jenkins. - Aye.
23:47 - Ms. Campbell. - Aye.
23:48 - Ms. Wright. - Aye.
23:49 - Mr. Trent. - Aye.
23:50 - Mr. Susan. - Aye.
23:52 - All right, we are on to Board Policy 2340,
23:54 Field Trips and Other Student Travel.
23:56 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
24:03 Seeing none, do I hear a motion?
24:05 - Move to approve. - Second.
24:06 - Any discussion?
24:08 I wanna make a statement about this one
24:10 because I’m, if no one else wants to,
24:12 this is something that’s been brought up to me
24:14 a couple times from people in the community.
24:16 They ask the question of why do we approve field trips
24:18 that are outside of our county,
24:20 sometimes outside of our state,
24:21 and sometimes even outside of our country.
24:24 And there’s different thoughts of opinion
24:26 on is this beneficial?
24:27 Should we be doing it?
24:28 Should we be allowing it from our district standpoint?
24:29 And I just kinda go back to the fact
24:31 that some of these opportunities would not be available
24:34 if they weren’t available through our school system.
24:36 These children may not ever get the opportunity
24:37 to go and do some of the amazing things
24:39 that they’re able to do
24:40 because they’re going with a team somewhere.
24:42 So it’s something that I know it’s not ideal,
24:45 and I understand the financial burden,
24:46 but there’s ways to overcome those hurdles.
24:48 And I’m just publicly stating that
24:49 because I know I will probably get a text message
24:51 after this board meeting on this one particular policy.
24:54 But I don’t think we should take away the opportunity
24:56 for a student to be able to travel with their team
24:58 when they’ve accomplished some kind of milestone,
25:00 which is why I support this policy.
25:02 So any other discussion?
25:05 No?
25:06 Paul, roll call, please.
25:07 - Ms. Jenkins. - Aye.
25:07 - Ms. Campbell. - Aye.
25:08 - Ms. Wright. - Aye.

25:10 - Mr. Susan. - Aye.
25:12 - All right, we are on to board policy 2370,
25:14 educational options.
25:16 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
25:21 No?
25:22 Do I hear a motion?

26:04 - All right, on to board policy 2371, the Hope Scholarship.
26:07 Is there anyone present who wishes to discuss this item?
26:13 Seeing none, do I hear a motion?
26:15 - Move to approve. - Second.
26:16 - Any discussion?
26:18 - Poll roll call.
26:19 - Ms. Jenkins.
26:20 - Aye.
26:20 - Ms. Campbell.

26:34 Seeing none, do I have a motion?
26:36 - Move to approve.
26:37 - Second.
26:38 - Any discussion?
26:39 Poll roll call please.
26:40 - Ms. Jenkins.
26:41 - Aye.
26:42 - Ms. Campbell.
26:43 - Aye.
26:44 - Ms. Wright.
26:44 - Aye.
26:45 - Mr. Trent.
26:46 - Aye.
26:47 - On to policy 2421, career and technical education programs.
26:50 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
26:52 Okay.
26:58 - I want to speak on item 20,
27:00 armed services vocational aptitude battery, the AFSAB.
27:06 The wording that’s been added is
27:07 the district shall provide opportunities to students
27:10 in grades 11 to 12 to take the armed services
27:13 vocational aptitude battery during normal school hours
27:16 and if requested by a student,
27:18 the opportunity to consult with a military recruiter.
27:22 I’m really curious considering this board
27:24 is such a parental rights focused board,
27:30 so much to do a proclamation
27:32 that there’s not a sentence in here
27:34 that would require these students
27:36 to get parental permission
27:37 before they go talk to a military recruiter.
27:39 I find it kind of odd.
27:41 Thanks.
27:44 - All right, is there anyone else present
27:45 who wishes to address this item?
27:48 No, do I have a motion?
27:49 - Move to approve.
27:50 - Second.
27:51 - Any discussion?
27:52 Ms. Campbell’s ready to go.
27:53 I see your finger on the button.
27:53 - I do, I do.
27:55 Dr. Rendell, I believe at the beginning of the year
27:57 when we do our registration process
27:58 that parents are required
27:59 as part of their directory information form
28:02 to mark whether or not they want their information,
28:05 their child’s information to go to military recruiters.
28:07 Am I correct on that?
28:08 - That is correct.
28:09 - Should that cover the ability for them
28:11 to reach out to, or this is the student going to them,
28:13 not them going to the student.
28:14 - No, theoretically that’s just providing
28:16 the directory information to the recruiter.
28:18 If a student went to their guidance counselor
28:20 and said I’d like to talk to a military recruiter,
28:21 then we would facilitate that.
28:24 More than likely they would still call home
28:25 just to make sure this is something
28:27 that the family’s in favor of.
28:29 - Gotcha, thank you.
28:32 - All right, any other discussion?
28:33 - Yeah, so I have a follow up to that.
28:34 So I hear what you’re saying,
28:37 but more than likely is not a secure policy that’s in place.
28:42 So I do think it’s important for it to be addressed.
28:45 I don’t think it should delay this,
28:47 but I think it’s important to be addressed.
28:50 Because if we’re gonna require parental permission slips
28:53 for things like, you know, NEOs born and Band-Aids,
28:57 I think we should have parental permission
28:58 for something like this.
29:00 And not even just for a negative thing
29:02 or for them to stop their kid from doing it,
29:04 but the parent has a right to know
29:05 and they can even support their child
29:06 through that process, right?
29:08 And help them make decisions through that process.
29:10 So I think it’s important that we do put it in place
29:13 just to avoid any issues in the future.
29:17 - As a follow up, and I agree,
29:19 I think we need to move this forward,
29:21 but can we ask Ms. Harris or whoever under her department
29:27 would be able to give us the language, the statute language,
29:30 because if this is kind of a transliteration
29:33 from the statute, we wanna make sure we’re matching.
29:35 And I don’t actually, I’m trying to remember
29:37 if this is a federal law or a state law update.
29:41 But if they can send that to us,
29:43 I think that would be helpful to me at least.
29:45 - Yep, we can do that.
29:46 - Absolutely.
29:47 All right, any other discussion?
29:50 Hearing none, Paul, roll call, please.

31:53 - Move to approve. - Second.
31:55 - Any discussion?

31:58 - Ms. Jenkins. - Aye.

32:01 - Mr. Trent. - Aye.
32:02 - Mr. Susan. - Aye.
32:03 - On to board policy 2521, instructional materials program.
32:06 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
32:08 All right.
32:14 - Yeah, I wanna address item F,
32:16 replacement and purchase of instructional materials
32:19 by students/parents.
32:22 The policy reads students may be held responsible
32:25 for the cost of replacing any instructional materials
32:27 lost, destroyed, or unnecessarily damaged,
32:30 failure to provide payment for the damage or loss
32:32 may result in the suspension of the student
32:34 from participation in extracurricular activities
32:38 or the debt may be satisfied
32:39 by the student performing community services activities
32:42 at the school site,
32:44 such as determined by the school principal.
32:47 A student or his or her parents may purchase a copy
32:49 of the designated course instructional materials
32:51 regardless of format for the district’s purchase price,
32:55 including shipping, plus 10%.
32:58 I have to say I find this policy to be rather
33:04 inequitable, kind of rude considering we have 60%
33:08 of our kids here in BPS are on free or reduced lunch.
33:14 I feel the additional 10% on top of replacing the materials
33:17 is unnecessary, understanding that sure,
33:23 instructional materials do get lost or damaged.
33:28 I feel that’s just the price of doing business, right?
33:33 That to hold students in a county such as Brevard
33:38 responsible for this and hold their parents,
33:40 many of whom are holding two jobs each
33:44 just to provide food and rent,
33:47 I think just this is the wrong time
33:49 to implement this kind of policy.
33:54 It’s very blind to what’s going on in the economy right now.
33:58 Thank you.
34:01 - All right, is there anyone else present
34:03 who wishes to address this item?
34:06 Do I have a motion?
34:07 - Move to approve. - Second.
34:08 - Any discussion? - Yep.
34:10 - You were quick on that button.
34:11 - I am, I am, that’s my visual signal to you.
34:14 I want to say something.
34:16 Appreciate the feedback.
34:17 Actually this language was in the previous policy
34:20 that we just approved was removed and moved into this policy
34:22 and the strategic change is may instead of shall
34:26 and that gives schools the flexibility to–
34:28 - Correct.
34:29 - Take care of that very thing that you just addressed.
34:30 - Absolutely. - Yes.
34:32 - Sorry, I beat you to it, Dr. Endau.
34:34 - All right, anyone else, any other discussions?
34:38 Paul, roll call please.
34:39 - Ms. Jenkins. - Aye.
34:40 - Ms. Campbell. - Aye.
34:41 - Ms. Wright. - Aye.
34:42 - Mr. Trent. - Aye.
34:43 - Mr. Susan. - Aye.
34:44 - All right, on to board policy 2522,
34:46 challenges to adoption or use of instructional library
34:51 or reading list materials.
34:52 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
34:55 - I figured you, we would have someone, all right,
34:58 thank you, you’re good to go.
35:00 - I want to address item H, parents shall have the right
35:04 to read passages from any materials
35:06 as subject to an objection.
35:07 If the board denies a parent the right to read passages
35:10 due to content that is subject to an objection
35:13 on the basis that is pornographic or prohibited,
35:16 blah, blah, blah, blah, right?
35:17 They can remove the book from the district, the material.
35:21 I think in light of the recent court decision
35:24 in the case for moms for Liberty Suit Brevard School Board,
35:33 I know that’s been kicked back down to the lower court,
35:35 but the appellate court did say that they really had issues
35:40 with this particular part of the policy.
35:42 I think it would be smart of this board
35:44 to remove this part of the policy and address this.
35:51 This may not be the time,
35:52 but this is certainly going to be problematic
35:55 I think moving forward,
35:56 or parents come up here to do this, right?
35:58 The court basically said that parents have a right
36:01 to come up here and read material that is not obscene.
36:05 And if you stop them, that’s a first amendment violation.
36:07 So, and considering that none of the material
36:11 that’s been read and removed by this board
36:15 from people who read at the podium here,
36:19 none of it was pornographic, none of it was obscene,
36:22 but you stopped them from reading it.
36:25 So I think you really need to revisit this part of policy
36:30 or it’s gonna cost taxpayers money.
36:31 Thank you.
36:33 - Thank you, Mr. Ross.
36:35 Is there anyone else present who wishes
36:36 to discuss this item?
36:38 Do I have a motion?
36:39 - Move to approve.
36:41 - Second.
36:41 - Any discussion?
36:43 - No, sorry, I can’t do everything.
36:45 - No, no.
36:47 All right, no other discussion.
36:49 Paul, roll call, please.
36:50 - Ms. Jenkins.
36:51 - Aye.
36:51 - Ms. Campbell.
36:52 - Aye.
36:53 - Ms. Wright.
36:54 - Aye.
36:55 - Mr. Trent.
36:56 - Aye.
36:56 - Mr. Susan.
36:57 - Aye.
36:58 - All right, on to more policy.
36:59 - If I could just go back.
37:00 You asked for the statutory language on the ASVAB stuff.
37:01 It is Florida Statute 1003.451 sub four,
37:06 and it says that we are required to provide students
37:09 in grades 11 and 12 the opportunity
37:11 to consult with military recruiters.
37:13 So the language is taken straight from statute.
37:15 - From Florida Statute?
37:16 - Florida Statute.
37:17 - Okay.
37:18 - Okay, thank you.
37:19 - Thank you.
37:20 All right, on to board policy 2540, audio visual use.
37:25 Is there anyone present who wishes to discuss
37:27 or address this item?
37:28 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
37:30 Seeing none, do I have a motion?
37:32 - Move to approve. - Second.
37:33 - Do I have any discussion from the board?
37:35 Paul, roll call please.
37:36 - Miss Jenkins. - Aye.
37:37 - Miss Campbell. - Aye.
37:38 - Miss Wright. - Aye.
37:39 - Mr. Trent. - Aye.
37:40 - Mr. Seuss. - Aye.
37:42 - On to board policy 2575, service learning.
37:44 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
37:50 Seeing none, do I have a motion?
37:52 - Move to approve. - Second.
37:53 - Any discussion?
37:55 Paul, roll call please.
37:56 - Miss Jenkins. - Aye.
37:57 - Miss Campbell. - Aye.
37:58 - Miss Wright. - Aye.
37:58 - Mr. Trent. - Aye.
37:59 - Mr. Seuss. - Aye.
38:01 - On to board policy 3121.01,
38:04 criminal background and employment history checks.
38:06 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
38:14 - Yeah, I want to talk about the addition to this policy
38:17 where it states that any failure by the applicant
38:23 to accurately disclose criminal arrest history
38:25 shall automatically disqualify the applicant
38:27 from being considered for employment for a period of one
38:30 calendar year from the date of background screening.
38:34 And then the addition is candidates disqualified
38:37 for employment due to non-disclosure of criminal
38:39 arrest history may submit an appeal to the superintendent
38:43 or designee.
38:45 First off, we all know why this particular change has
38:48 come about, right?
38:49 We have school board members who failed to do that.
38:54 Looking at you, Mr. Susan, looking at you, Mr. Trent.
38:58 On top of that, we had school board members
39:00 that then went out and actively pointed out other teachers that
39:06 had this happen to them.
39:08 So we all know why this is in here,
39:09 though neither one of you may need this at this point.
39:13 I will point out that this board claims to be,
39:17 let’s run schools like a business, right?
39:20 There is no business that I have ever
39:22 worked for that has some kind of lame appeal process like this.
39:27 You lie in your application to be an employer,
39:30 to be an employee, you’re disqualified from that job,
39:34 right?
39:36 I see no reason to do this.
39:38 There’s nobody out there who does this, right?
39:42 It’s a nice thing, sure, but it’s unnecessary.
39:44 I don’t care who did it.
39:46 It’s very plain on the language when you sign up.
39:50 What qualifies, to report, OK?
39:55 If you don’t report it, you shouldn’t have been hired.
39:57 It’s that simple.
39:58 Thank you.
40:01 All right.
40:01 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this item?
40:05 No?
40:06 All right.
40:07 Do I have a motion?
40:09 Move to approve.
40:09 Second.
40:10 Any discussion?
40:14 All right, Paul, roll call, please.
40:15 Ms. Jenkins?
40:15 Aye.
40:16 Ms. Campbell?
40:16 Aye.
40:17 Ms. Wright?
40:18 Aye.
40:18 Mr. Trent?
40:19 Aye.
40:19 Mr. Susan?
40:20 Aye.
40:20 All right.
40:21 On to board policy 5114, foreign students.
40:23 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
40:31 Yeah, I want to address on this, the two additions that
40:35 says non-immigrant students with J1 visas.
40:39 And it looks like the addition is
40:41 students may not graduate from high school
40:42 or receive a diploma.
40:43 I’m not sure where this is coming from.
40:45 Maybe it’s coming from statute.
40:47 You guys are forced to do this.
40:49 You put the same addition into non-immigrant students
40:52 with F1 visas.
40:53 Those students may not graduate from high school
40:56 or receive a diploma.
40:59 I really don’t see how this adds to public education.
41:04 This seems to take away.
41:07 The Florida Constitution does not define–
41:15 it’s any resident of Florida is subject to an education.
41:22 This goes against the Florida Constitution.
41:25 I find it just crazy to think that students
41:29 can put in all this time.
41:30 And just because they have J1 visas or F1 visas,
41:34 they may not graduate from high school or receive a diploma.
41:36 Understanding I may not know all the facts,
41:38 there may be statutes or regulations that require this.
41:41 If so, those are wrong.
41:43 And the board should say so.
41:45 Thank you.
41:48 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this item?
41:52 No.
41:53 I’m trying to find the email.
41:54 Ms. Harris, I know I’m going to put you on the spot
41:55 right now.
41:56 Because this is a question I had as well.
41:58 And I’m just going to ask you, if you
41:59 don’t mind coming forward just to clarify this.
42:01 I’m trying to find the email and I
42:02 can’t put my hands on it, on the reason being for it.
42:06 I asked that exact same question, Mr. Ross,
42:08 because I was concerned as well.
42:11 Yeah, I think it has more to do with that our foreign exchange
42:14 are usually only here for a year and that doesn’t give them
42:16 enough time to complete all of the graduation
42:18 requirements for the state of Florida or US.
42:22 That is exactly the–
42:24 this is for a foreign exchange student.
42:26 So this is not for a family that moves to the United States
42:29 from out of the country that just happens
42:32 to enroll as an 11th grader.
42:34 This would be for our foreign exchange students.
42:37 And we have really looked into this of is this,
42:42 do we have wiggle room within this?
42:43 And speaking with other districts on their practices.
42:46 And there really is not an option
42:49 just because they can’t meet all the requirements for graduation.
42:53 Even we were trying to work with some specific families
42:57 where the family just wanted them to stay another year
42:59 and live with the exchange family.
43:03 And we just can’t do that.
43:06 So I can look up the language right now
43:08 and I can get you some further clarification.
43:10 I know you sent me an email.
43:11 Sorry to put you on the spot.
43:12 I know you sent me an email because I’d
43:13 asked this exact question.
43:14 And I, for whatever reason, because we’ve
43:16 been working on these since really September.
43:19 I just want to be clear.
43:20 So if we have just the family moves here and they enroll,
43:24 that’s a different situation.
43:25 This is specific to foreign exchange students.
43:28 OK, thank you.
43:29 Thank you for the clarification.
43:32 Any other discussion from the board?
43:33 We need a motion and a second.
43:35 Oh, we don’t have a motion and a second.

46:03 Seeing none, do I have a motion?
46:05 Move to approve.
46:06 Second.

46:20 All right.
46:21 On to board policy 5465, general education development, your GED
46:22 test.
46:22 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
46:25 Seeing none, do I have a motion?
46:28 Move to approve.
46:29 Second.
46:30 Any discussion?
46:31 Paul, roll call.
46:32 Ms. Jenkins?
46:33 Aye.
46:34 Ms. Campbell?
46:35 Aye.
46:36 Ms. Wright?
46:37 Aye.
46:38 Mr. Trent?
46:39 Aye.
46:40 Mr. Susan?
46:41 Aye.
46:42 All right.
46:43 Board policy 5505, academic honesty, is there anyone present who
46:44 wishes to address this
46:44 item?
46:45 All right.
46:46 Yeah, I’d like to address item C, utilizing artificial
46:56 intelligence platforms and natural
46:58 language processing tools to create content and then submitting
47:01 the content as one’s own.
47:02 While I appreciate the board is trying to get ahead of this, I
47:06 think you’re – and you
47:07 do address it more in policy 7540, I think you guys are not
47:12 getting far enough ahead
47:14 of this in that within a year or two, and it’s really already
47:21 here, a lot of AI is already
47:24 going to be embedded in the very tools you use.
47:27 You’re going to have a watch, it’s going to have AI in it, you’re
47:30 going to have a calculator,
47:31 it’s going to have AI in it.
47:35 Microsoft Word already has AI capabilities in it, and my concern
47:41 is that, one, if the
47:43 district doesn’t become highly educated on this very quickly,
47:46 teachers aren’t going to
47:48 know when a kid uses AI.
47:50 The kids, the students aren’t even going to know when they’re
47:53 using AI capabilities, especially
47:55 natural language processing capabilities.
47:57 So while I appreciate that you’re trying to deal with this, I
48:04 feel this policy, very much
48:06 kind of like your cell phone policy, is behind the times.
48:11 You’re not going to stop this technology, it’s coming, it’s
48:14 going to be on the kids,
48:16 it’s going to be in everything, every tool, electronic tool that
48:19 they use in a very short
48:20 amount of time, and I really think you need to write better
48:26 policy about this.
48:28 It needs to be more specific and have some real clarification in
48:34 there about what is
48:36 or what isn’t allowed.
48:39 That may be hard to do, but this policy is going to be out of
48:43 date in six months, maybe
48:45 a year.
48:47 And I will come back here and address policy 7540 as well as I
48:50 have some other concerns
48:52 about that.
48:53 Thank you.
48:54 Thank you, Mr. Ross.
48:55 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this item?
48:58 Do I have a motion?
49:01 Move to approve.
49:02 Second.
49:03 Any discussion?
49:04 I’d like to.
49:05 You would like to?
49:06 Yeah, it’s one of the items.
49:07 There’s a lot of school districts that are forming committees to
49:08 address this, both with
49:09 not only regulations but also communications to our students.
49:13 I think there’s a lot of possibilities here that I think we
49:17 should take a look at.
49:18 I got approached from about three or four other school districts,
49:21 Miami-Dade, Broward
49:22 and others that are forming like a statewide group to try to
49:25 take a look at this from school
49:27 districts’ perspective, from multiple angles.
49:29 So I think that after this policy is passed, I think it would be
49:32 advantageous for us to
49:33 form a little advisory committee to try to figure out how to
49:36 communicate to the people
49:37 – our teachers, everybody else, our parents – on how to
49:40 identify.
49:40 We’ve all received the emails recently about my kid’s been
49:44 accused of using AI, and the
49:46 parents are wondering how that process goes for the teachers,
49:49 what the limits are and
49:50 everything else.
49:51 So I think it would be advantageous for us to move in that
49:53 direction once this is passed.
49:55 So thank you.
49:56 Thank you.
49:57 Any other discussion on this one?
49:59 No?
50:00 I don’t disagree.
50:01 I think this policy is one that’s going to be revisited quite
50:04 frequently, honestly, because
50:05 technology changes so quickly, so rapidly.
50:09 And AI is an issue.
50:12 I don’t love it either.
50:13 I understand the concern that we’re hearing, and I think it
50:15 would be smart of us to really
50:17 take a deep dive on this.
50:18 I know Mr. Cheatham back there shaking his head, he’s like, “Hi,
50:20 this is my department.”
50:21 So I think it’s a good idea for us to look at how we’re going to
50:24 combat this in the future
50:25 because it is going to become an issue all over the place.
50:28 But I think for right now we need to move forward with the
50:31 policy as it is and come
50:33 back and revisit this probably multiple times, unfortunately, as
50:36 technology changes.
50:38 But on the other hand, this policy is defining terms.
50:41 It’s defining what academic dishonesty is.
50:45 And even letter C, that is academic dishonesty.
50:49 And at this point, if we don’t have the tools, it’s a matter of
50:51 do we have the tools to enforce
50:53 it, that’s a different conversation to me than this policy.
50:56 This policy is laying down the standard, here is what it is, and
51:00 gives our staff the tools
51:02 to say you violated this policy.
51:04 Now how they can determine that is going to be the challenge.
51:06 But the policy is in place because this is more and more.
51:09 And for our virtual school, our virtual schools are already
51:12 having to deal with this, and
51:13 they have their own ways of dealing with it because they know it’s
51:16 even harder when you’re
51:17 not eyes on a student.
51:19 But I think the policy is good and may need tweaking, may not,
51:24 because the application
51:26 of it doesn’t belong to the policy, it belongs in maybe
51:28 administrative procedures or what
51:29 our staff develop beyond it.
51:32 And as far as definitions go, that is academic dishonesty.
51:38 I don’t think there’s any question.
51:40 Yeah, just not that it’s completely specific to this, but just I’ve
51:44 been saying this time
51:45 and time again when we’re having a debate about cell phones in
51:47 the classroom, but I
51:48 think it’s advantageous of Brevard Public Schools to be a leader
51:53 in this state.
51:54 It’s happening around the world, it’s happening across the
51:56 country, it’s not necessarily happening
51:58 in Florida just yet.
52:01 To be forward thinking when it comes to opportunities for our
52:04 students to have classes that teach
52:06 them how to discern factual information on the internet, how to
52:11 use these tools to their
52:12 benefit but to use them with honesty and integrity, because the
52:17 reality is as much as people want
52:19 to say negative things about it, it is a positive tool, right?
52:23 And it is our job, I believe, as a school system to not shut
52:26 down the advancement of
52:27 technology for our students and to shun them out of the
52:30 classroom, but it’s our obligation
52:32 honestly because they’re with us all day long and that’s what
52:34 they’re using it for, to start
52:35 to develop classes and coursework for our students to be able to
52:39 use it appropriately.
52:40 We can’t expect them to just learn it or to understand how to
52:44 use it appropriately.
52:45 It’s our obligation, quite frankly, and we need to start in the
52:48 youngest of ages when
52:49 we have kids sitting on iPads when they’re five years old.
52:53 We need to be able to do that and that’s not going to be quick
52:56 or easy and that’s a huge
52:57 demand and task on our staff, but I think that we need to be
53:00 forward thinking and figure
53:02 out how to implement something like that within the next coming
53:04 years.
53:04 And again, it’s an opportunity to be leaders in the state.
53:08 Alright, thank you.

59:41 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item?
59:43 All right.
59:44 Yeah, I want to address item F. It says under Florida law,
59:52 parents have the right to give
59:54 their consent in writing before a school employee makes a video
59:57 or voice recording of their
59:59 minor child unless the recording is used solely for the
1:00:03 following, with some exceptions, a
1:00:06 safety demonstration, a purpose related to a legitimate academic
1:00:09 or extracurricular activity,
1:00:11 a purpose related to a regular classroom instruction, security
1:00:15 or surveillance of buildings and
1:00:18 grounds.
1:00:19 Yeah, Mr. Ross, I think that one’s under the next policy, the
1:00:20 video surveillance and electronic
1:00:21 monitoring.
1:00:22 So I know I’m trying to find where you’re at and there’s no F on
1:00:24 this policy.
1:00:25 We’re almost there.
1:00:27 So come back.
1:00:28 We’ll be back in just a second.
1:00:29 But that’s the next one.
1:00:30 All right.
1:00:31 Is there anyone else present who wishes to address this policy,
1:00:33 which is Buildings and
1:00:33 Ground Security?
1:00:34 No?
1:00:35 All right.
1:00:36 Do I have a motion?
1:00:37 Move to approve.
1:00:38 Second.
1:00:39 Any discussion?
1:00:40 Paul, roll call, please.
1:00:41 Ms. Jenkins.
1:00:42 Aye.
1:00:43 Ms. Campbell.
1:00:44 Aye.
1:00:45 Ms. Wright.
1:00:46 Aye.
1:00:47 Mr. Tran.
1:00:48 Aye.
1:00:49 Mr. Susan.
1:00:50 Aye.
1:00:51 All right.
1:00:52 Now we’re on to 7440.01, which is video surveillance and
1:00:53 electronic monitoring.
1:00:53 Mr. Ross, you have the floor.
1:00:54 Great.
1:00:55 Thank you.
1:00:56 I’ll start over.
1:00:57 So this is item F. It’s in addition, under Florida law, parents
1:01:02 have the right to give
1:01:04 their consent in writing before a school employee makes a video
1:01:07 or voice recording of their
1:01:09 minor child unless the recording is used solely for the
1:01:11 following items, and these are exceptions,
1:01:14 right?
1:01:15 A safety demonstration, a purpose related to a legitimate
1:01:17 academic or extracurricular
1:01:19 activity, a purpose related to regular classroom instruction,
1:01:22 security or surveillance of buildings
1:01:25 or grounds, a photo ID card, or recording of IEP team meetings,
1:01:30 which is addressed in
1:01:32 a different policy.
1:01:33 So the question I have is why do we have photos and videos of
1:01:39 children that are on Matt Susan’s
1:01:42 campaign page?
1:01:46 That obviously violates policy.
1:01:48 I don’t see the exception in here, hasn’t been added in, and
1:01:53 that’s concerning.
1:01:55 So I would ask this board to please investigate why there are
1:01:59 students, pictures of students
1:02:02 and classrooms on Matt Susan’s campaign page.

1:03:23 Mr. Susan. On to board policy 7540.08 which is artificial
1:03:29 intelligence.
1:03:30 Is there anyone present who wishes to address this item? Mr.
1:03:34 Ross, you have the floor.
1:03:37 Yeah, I just want to address this kind of in general terms that
1:03:41 one of the things that people don’t talk about is that AI is
1:03:46 going to be inequitable in a lot of ways.
1:03:50 If you think about Google, and this goes to your point, Miss
1:03:54 Jenkins, about critical thinking, there’s an equity in how
1:03:58 people use a simple search engine.
1:04:01 Certain people are educated and know how to use it efficiently.
1:04:08 There are people that aren’t. This is a failure of the school
1:04:10 system, a failure of our society in general, and AI is just
1:04:14 going to compound that.
1:04:16 When you can start asking inquisitive questions, we’re already
1:04:22 seeing this in a lot of AI, is the ability to develop your
1:04:28 prompt is vital in there.
1:04:31 I would like to see this district get ahead of that, going very
1:04:36 much to what Miss Jenkins talked about, is learning how to use
1:04:41 these tools instead of just being kind of stand back and watch
1:04:46 and see what happens with them.
1:04:49 I’d like to see this school district work on ensuring that all
1:04:56 students will be able to use AI equitably. It is definitely
1:05:02 going to be compounded.
1:05:04 We already see how misinformation is spread on the internet, and
1:05:09 people are going to need to have critical thinking skills and
1:05:14 know how to use AI properly, and that should be addressed in
1:05:18 this policy. Thank you.
1:05:22 - Thank you, is there, oh, I might turn off.

1:09:53 having the three meetings for the science,
1:09:56 instructional materials adoption

1:10:08 on the, what’s the date, the 17th,
1:10:12 from five p.m. to seven p.m. at Viera Middle School.
1:10:15 If anyone is interested in attending those events,
1:10:17 they all got canceled last week.
1:10:19 That’ll be for the science instructional materials
1:10:21 and the personal finance instructional materials.
1:10:23 I just thought I’d do a little public announcement.
1:10:26 Is that, that’ll just be the one date.

1:10:30 - It’s the 16th, sorry.

1:10:48 to provide input and ask questions.
1:10:51 - Thank you, Ms. Campbell, for reminding the public of that.
1:10:53 Any other further things to report or discuss?
1:10:56 All right, Mr. Gibbs, there is a request
1:10:58 for a client attorney session,
1:11:00 so the chair recognizes the board attorney, Mr. Gibbs.
1:11:02 - Board members, on behalf of attorney Howard Marks,
1:11:05 I am notifying you that advice is needed
1:11:07 regarding the pending litigation style Moms for Liberty,
1:11:09 et al. v. the School Board of Brevard County, Florida,
1:11:12 et al. case number six colon 21-CV-01849,
1:11:17 11th Circuit case number 23-10656.
1:11:22 Pursuant to 286-011 Florida statutes
1:11:24 known as the Government in the Sunshine Act,
1:11:26 I am requesting an attorney client session with the board
1:11:29 for the purpose of discussing strategy
1:11:30 in regard to the litigation.
1:11:32 I will ask the board’s clerk to cause
1:11:34 reasonable public notice of the time and date
1:11:36 of this attorney client session
1:11:38 and the names of the persons attending to be published.
1:11:40 If the board approves, I will work with the board clerk
1:11:43 to coordinate dates for the attorney client session
1:11:45 working with our council’s availability
1:11:47 and provide notice of the meeting
1:11:48 inclusive of scheduling a court reporter.
1:11:51 As required by this statute,
1:11:52 only the following individuals may be present.
1:11:55 School board members, Katie Campbell,
1:11:56 Jennifer Jenkins, Matt Susan, Jean Trent, Megan Wright,
1:12:00 Superintendent Dr. Mark Rendell, Paul Gibbs,
1:12:02 General Counsel Howard Marks, Burr Foreman,
1:12:05 and Jennifer Bridges, Burr Foreman.
1:12:07 As required by statute, I will ask a court reporter
1:12:09 to record the session.
1:12:11 Their notes will be fully transcribed
1:12:12 and filed with the clerk of the school board.
1:12:15 Upon conclusion of any litigation and/or settlement
1:12:17 of all claims arising out of this case,
1:12:19 the transcript will be made public record.
1:12:22 - I recommend the board hold an attorney client session
1:12:25 pursuant to section 286.011 Florida statutes
1:12:28 to discuss strategy of pending litigation.
1:12:31 If there are no objections, I will instruct our attorney
1:12:33 to work with our board clerk and schedule
1:12:35 as soon as the matter may be heard.
1:12:37 Are there any objections?
1:12:39 - No, I just, I do have a question.
1:12:42 I don’t think we’ve had sessions about this case.
1:12:44 Maybe we have. - One, yeah, one.
1:12:47 - Right, sorry, I wasn’t finished with my thought yet.
1:12:52 What do we do when there’s a conflict of interest
1:12:55 for relationships of named parties?
1:12:59 - The board’s the board,
1:13:00 so the board gets to sit in the room.
1:13:03 - And that doesn’t have to be disclosed or?
1:13:06 - They’re the board, so.
1:13:07 It’s like Broward had one of the plaintiffs
1:13:09 in the Stoneman Douglas lawsuit was a board member
1:13:12 and they got to sit in the room, so.
1:13:14 - Correct, okay.
1:13:15 I wanted to say that out loud
1:13:17 ‘cause there’s been many questions about it.
1:13:19 - The board’s the board.
1:13:20 - Got it. - That’s the entity
1:13:21 that I have to work with.
1:13:22 - And that has to do with all litigation.
1:13:23 - Yep. - Okay, thanks.
1:13:26 - All right, any other, no objections?
1:13:29 All right, no further business.
1:13:31 This meeting is adjourned.
1:13:33 (gavel bangs)
1:13:34 (upbeat music)
1:14:31 (silence)
