3.149,000
for library.
Um,
you already approved $200,000 for
furniture in the high school library
and $166,000 for the middle school
library furniture. I don't understand.
I'm sorry, my fell off. I don't
understand why we're spending all that
money on on men um because we still
don't have we still don't have um
librarians in there and that's a lot of
money. $200,000 for furniture plus
anotherund for um
for um carpets. That's a lot of money.
Um the teachers and I were thinking we
could make it look really nice

So that's that seems like a lot. And

We're changing 32 ventilation units in

That's 400.
No, for $48,000
that's $12,000 a unit.
That's I don't know what that is. And it
seems like you dig that out. That's like
a lot. Seems like a lot.
Um
and then also 3.93.10
$10,000 for a lawyer for one of the
board members when I think that has to
do with something that happened with the
city. I understand that when um
We shouldn't be paying for

um using board the board solicitor. We
should have outside attorney not the

and we also shouldn't have to pay for
it. And I'm wondering if that um in

So, in the board minutes, those who know
who know what I just said. In the board
minutes, um I'm addressing the
uh for the last meeting. I am sorely
disappointed in the behaviors that were
conducted.
It's a shame that you have others,
when I mean others, doesn't matter
black, white, Hispanic, whatever. Others
who do not live in our community have
the audacity to use our and ed y'all on
to self cannibalize and turn on each
other. How dare they for others tell you
black and brown people to turn on each
other in front of the whole world
because whoever was watching online, the
example you're setting for children is
deplorable. Please think about what
you're doing. They don't pay taxes. They
don't pay rent here. They'll say our and
they'll say us to influence you to make
you think that they are one of us. They
ain't like us. Please take note of that.
So when I come up here, I've lived
Pleas. Y'all live in Pleasantville.
Those of you who are board members, take
heed to that. Don't let somebody come up
here and say us and our and pay. They're
paying for something they're not.
They're taking and when they take,
they're taking their salary. They're
taking your healthare and they're
equivalent to their community. They're
investing in their community. We are
here. Pleasantville. Pleasantville. We
need to invest in us. So when you lend
the ear, lend it to Pleasantville first.
Lend it to the children here first. My
children are in this district. Some of
the people saying us wouldn't even dare
let their children register to be a
student up in
as an employee. They can but they both
and they don't. So please keep that in
mind when we're doing this. It is us.
It's not them.
Thank you.

Madam President, before we go to public,
I just want to add

I'd rather not

Yes, I can bring that up. civilian,

He's looking at everybody's

>> Yeah.
I didn't hear you.

weeks ago or two weeks ago.
Okay. So, also we have I know for a fact
there's five parttime custodians in the
building just in high school that want
to work full time. I don't understand.
We we need fulltime people. We need to
pay our people and not the people in
Pleasantville and not outsource, not pay
them part time. They need storage. They
need to be part of part of our
district. Same thing with security. How
how are you going to have a parttime
security guard at Walmart? You want them
to make a relationship with our kids.
You want to call down the kids and say,
"Hey, no, come on. calm down. You know,
somebody off the street they never saw
before isn't going to have that
relationship. We need fulltime security.
We need more fulltime people working
here
with benefit.
Um the Adobe
design
still doesn't work.
It doesn't work. Um our attorney has not
showed up. We not able to continue with
our arbitrations because I literally
drove to an arbitration and our attorney
for the district didn't show up didn't
show up.
>> Wow.
>> I was the only person representing
um and I was very embarrassed. Everybody
was there. People from state people
everybody was there.
Um
and then from now
Our arbitrations are being cancelled and
we have people wanting to come back to
work and we can't finish our station.
We've already waited like a long time.
So we we need the the attorney.
Um I'd like to get the board agenda and
took some of my time. So I'd like to get
the board agenda on Fridays like you
guys get them because I have to look
through them as well. And also this room
is freezing. There are other other rooms
in the building that the kids are colder
and they come in here because this
room's warmer than some of the other
classrooms.
>> No, I'm not. I set up I set up the
temperature stations in one of the rooms
>> and the children are in there,
>> right? Yes.
>> I'm asking for anything
and
temperatures. My nose up here right now,
four hours,
the one class December.
Okay.
Um and also the vote that you just you
just did on the 3.9.
I'm
not
counted as counted as you know like not
counted. They just don't happen. Look
upbert.
>> Um, I just really would like to get the
board.
I don't think
I mean I do represent 560 people.
I would like to
think
about
the floor.
We can talk.
>> Wonder why. I wonder why.
I don't know.
Carol.
So with that being said,

What did you say last?
Let me ask question. What did you say
last time when you showed up in the
court? What did she say to you?
somebody.
But then also said that he didn't know
that he was appointed, but they were
still
even
voted on it
saying that
our lawyers
thought that she still wasn't good
lawyer. That's why not showing up,
>> but they want to build. But you also
voted for them to continue,
but they should know that because
theymin
All
right. Now,
I know
maybe three, four years ago
together. One of our committee members,
one of our former member
stated
we agreed that we will not hire any more
parttime that we will all we will hire
fulltime
and we all agree with that. I don't know
I don't know if it passed or not but I
know we agreed that we partire.
So my question is what happened
back
same
but they're not being full and we're
still having part
and I know like I said we said we wasn't
going
We have people that's parttime that
can look into
making them
benefit
and that was for security.
So I don't know what happened last
time.
committee reported out here
fulltime. So I don't know what happened
in the last three years
they want to be full time
how many employees we have out right
now. how it affect our budget
for um I'm sure
some grievances of some of those people.
This is why I feel like
we have Miss Bailey.
So I had a question in regards to
you know the members of the board and um
if anyone is different
I know previously
Washington and this I don't know if
that's stilling but if not Maybe that's
something that could be put to effect
because I know that teachers
communities not here know that teachers
aren't showing up because they're
worried about retaliation from certain
people. Um and so you know everybody
can't sit here all three of my kids for
the last three. So, um um I know
everybody's not showing up, but if maybe
each member could be responsible for a
different school district so that we can
hear different grievances and issues
with each school can be addressed, voice
and representative um in these board
meetings
also that way appropriate allocation I'm
sorry
that way appropriate allocation of funds
can occur. Kids don't need $200,000 of
library furniture. Right.
Um, they eat edible lunches. I don't
know if any of y'all have seen the
lunches that are being served to these
children, but it's worth
there's mold in our school. There's mice
in our school and there's and there's
roaches in our school. All right, that's
what's going on. We don't need
furniture. We don't need 200,000. That's
a house, right? For one library, two
libraries. We don't need that, right?
That's not what we need. I need edible
lenses. I need I need the roach
infestation to be handled. Right. They
said that the middle school the the
paint job that paid $10,000 for is
trash. So you might want to go check
that out and get a refund as well.
So obviously the heat system needs to be
addressed. I had a a half hour notice
before I had to pick my my elementary
school suiting up in North Main maybe
about a month ago because the heat there
is not working. I know we're working on
a new beautiful
and all that, but our schools that are
currently functioning and housing our
children now need to be addressed and
fix right. It's freezing in here.
>> I really appreciate
things
for asking for bills and different
things because obviously the money
I'd like to address real quick and I see
my time is running out but I'd like to
address the behavior of this school
board member Mr. Dixon. He threatened me
in the last schoolboard meeting.
Everybody up here
was here to see it. So that's why I like
to bring it up and I like a few more
seconds to talk about that.
I make a motion to give her another.
So there was public comment made. I
really I'll let you know what we said
after
the president left before the meeting
was over. I said, you know, there was a
motion on the floor. I'm new to all of
this. I'm just getting used to it. There
was a motion on the floor against the
president, right? Everybody said what
they voted. The gentleman here
voted no and I you know as I said
because I'm a part of the community and
I made a public comment and I said well
he needs to go too that's my opinion I
have my right to state that so I said he
needs to go to the people that I'm
sitting with Mr. Gibson then said you
can meet me outside
there was a lot of us here to witness
that not only is he a man that's
representing he's a man first of all and
I'm a female of the public but he's
representing
So his behavior was unbecoming not only
as a adult man but as a board member of
a community you shouldn't be
representing president he's verbally
abusive and he's threatened not one but
two women at our last school board. So I
just want the people that weren't here
or maybe missed it. That is what
occurred and a lot of us here.
Thank you for your time.
Thank you.
Good evening.
So that brings me to the point of my
child getting in trouble and written up
for having a sweatshirt on.
I'm sorry. I'm not going out and buying
sweatshirts upon sweatshirts upon
sweatshirts if they don't have a hood.
They can't wear it. They're getting
written up. That's why I'm not doing
that. Okay. wanting to fix the heating
problems in all of the students. That's
number one. Number two, I'm going to
piggyback off Miss Bailey's uh comments
about Mr.
I was the second woman that he had made
to and um used vulgar language outside
in the parking lot while he talked about
a lovely person outside who not to
mention left our meeting last week. If
you cannot handle the pressure, you
should not be in the heat.
Period at all. Because let me tell you
something. I have three that's coming up
in this school district.
I've never ever dealt with a board that
one can't get along, can't come to
terms. We're here for the children.
Last time I checked, that's why y'all
are all pointed up here to take care of
our children in all the whole entire
district. Also
to everyone here and listen online,
make note the board members demeanor,
behavior and body language and cyber
marks amongst each other.
Please show up and vote when it's time
for you to vote because this is uncalled
for. And for a man
to sit here and verbally abuse women, I
don't want you to be representing my
child whatsoever. And my child is not
only undefeated
sports
carrying upwards, we're also undefeated
and top
We need positive resolutions.
So,
whom was here last board meeting and
present? I would like to know
what are we doing about the threat that
was made publicly and online?
Yes, these are live streams. Okay. Okay.
These are live streams. So, I would like
to know how are you holding that board
member accountable because we've all
heard it.
Okay.
Thank you. Thank you. Next, we have Mr.
again. And um I believe that when I said
that we were going to have
accountability this year, I hope that
the board members
do. I appreciate the parents, the other
parents coming out because I've been a
lone wolf out here. So, I would like to
make sure we have more to the pack,
but um in all seriousness,
it's just unimaginable that you know, we
have people predominantly women here and
the one man which I was online watching
the live stream just to piggy back off
that I heard it loud and clear just just
to I don't know who he was talking to,
but I heard it loud and clear and It's
just not appropriate at all. In
reference to the students and supporting
the students, I want to make sure that
this board is aware that this district
has been in disrepair
for decades. While a superintendent
after superintendent after
superintendent, that's what I keep going
on have come through the district. So, a
lot of the things that weren't watched
over, there's a lot of kink. There's a
lot of kink that has to be dealt with
maintenance facilities wise, which I
would like to recommend is that maybe
you get a maintenance or facilities like
actual like maintenance or custodial
report from the head of custodial so
that you know when at least maybe it's
regular filters for the for the
on things if that is being done or we
have a warranty because it seems like a
lot of money goes out to extract stuff
but then they're coming back and getting
more money. So I don't know if there is
like a contract for warranty on work and
how long that is but it needs to be
looked into. One thing I wanted to say
in addition to that is the pool. The
condition of the pool still needs work.
My two daughters were taking swimming
less and they refused to go in there
because they said it's filthy and it's
disgusting. So the I know for a fact I
have pictures with the board. If you
want them I can bring them in. But
things that have been in disrepair have
yet to be done. So when people talk
about it's dudification it's not because
these things have been in disrepair for
a long time. You asked the question
about the library stuff. Yes. that that
needs to be had. But also other
districts don't have librarians. I know
that for a fact. Other districts don't
have. So this is a staffing issue
statewide. I know that because I look at
the different things. So that is one
thing that is not exclusive to
Pleasantville, but this whole repair and
everything really needs to be looked
into. And if I have a moment for the
board, I would like to honor because I
didn't hear anyone honor um our
basketball player
rare who had gotten a thousand points
the girls basketball team like
outside of when my son is here. I've
watched her.
She worked so hard. She worked so hard
when she was the only one running up and
down that court that was competent and
able to play the game. She never never
gave up. She never gave up. She
supported her teammates even through
injury. She worked hard through the
years. She deserves accolade. She
deserves to be honored. She is a
upstanding student, respectful to
anybody who needs her. She has a
beautiful spirit and she worked hard for
those spous
when it's presented, if hopefully it is
presented, that Jan gives her due
credit. And it's not because she's
suspended. It's because she worked hard
for that. And our women female sports
need to be celebrated
because there's whatever. But that a
thousand points from a female that
hasn't been done in almost 20 years here
in Pleasantville. So she needs to be
giving her flowers.
Thank you, Miss
President.
That is very um
it will be coming very soon.
I just want to say on behalf of myself,
we
had
to
say
also apologize to myself because it's
not like
I can't
for
five years now.
has been through a lot. We have been
through a lot of
you know
apologize
for
I do have
but
all the time.
They can yell in
what we have to make decisions on. You
can't imagine what we have to do. That's
why we have committee. So when we have
committee members, we discuss everything
in the committee. That's where we do all
our work. So like I said once again,
do you have anything to say?
>> I want to thank everybody for coming
out. I understand We were in executive
session for a long time and I know how
cold it is in here and I truly
apologize. I apologize for being here so
long.
We are here to represent you, the
students, the community, the educators.
Um, and as we sit up here, no one has to
sit through being disrespected or
anything like that. Um the allegations
were were hard to hear and I apologize
because I was not here at that meeting.
But really continue bringing your
concerns. Um I took copious notes,
continue bringing your comments. We want
to hear your voices um in all types of
languages. I appreciate the Spanish that
I heard today. Um but please believe
that um all of us here I mean, I've
worked uh with everyone here in one way,
shape, or form. We're passionate, we
care, and we want to move the school
district in a positive direction for
all. So, thank you for us. Thank you for
being patient. Continue coming out, and
let's put the president first and
foremost.
I just want to say thank you for coming
out.
We appreciate you guys support.
I am I am the one person you can find no
matter what you guys know. Um I'm going
to continue to fight you guys. I'm going
to continue to be open. I'm going to
continue to uphold myself and other
board members to the standards and open.
So
just hold us accountable. Just make sure
we do the right thing to do right. If
we're not, come out and let us know. Um,
my biggest thing, you guys know, is I
like to put things on record. I need
people to know. I don't like to hide
things. I don't I don't I don't I don't
live in this. I'm never going to live in
this. So, anything you guys think we
need to know, we're not as board members
able to secure with day-to-day
operations.
But I would suggest to maybe the
superintendent and the president to put
a suggestion box in every school where
people
um submissions or grievances or issues
because
we're going to be honest here. People
are being retaliated and when we see it,
we hear it. We know it. So again, as the
community, as the voters, just hold us
accountable, step up, come to the light,
let us know what's going on. And if you
feel like you're going to be retaliated
on, I'm a person to trust. I'll never
say who said what, but I will fight. So
just understand if you have no
coming out.
I didn't know who said it.
to work
and
I like how we
can always
Just want to thank everyone for coming
out. Thank everyone for watching.
Um I ask you guys to continue to come
out.
Um
if you guys can make it, you know, we as
board members have board emails. Um you
can send it yours is to us and we can
review it and discuss the issues at the
board.
Please know that we do hear you, we do
see you, and um we're here to work for
you. Um so again, you can hold us
accountable for what we decide, what we
say and what we do.
Good night.
Just want to say thank you
to
everyone. Also, I want to put on record.
I would like to
respect. I'm 39 years old. I'm not
I talk to your respect. I would like to
speak to you. We're happy to hear that
the board member did apologize to the
ladies.
I'm also um happy that Miss Watson
always come up and let us know what's
actually going on and what's not going
on because without people coming to the
microphone to let us know and we don't
deal with the dayto-day operations, we
will not know nothing's going wrong in
our district. All we hear about is
what's going right. you don't hear
what's going wrong and what's needed.
I'm hoping that we get back to where we
had said about four years ago about not
hiring part- timers unless they want to
be part- timer. It takes the part-
timerrs that wants to be fulltime to
make them fulltime.
And I'm leave it like that. I just want
to thank everyone else for coming out.
I want to thank everyone for coming out
tonight. I think my colleagues all have
said it. Thank you for your patience and
thank you for braving this call with us
and hopefully we
uh I apologize if you feel that um I was
talking to you that wasn't like you
should say I'm just you know if anything
okay
I apologize. We just like to thank
everyone for coming out. We like to
thank all you do and what you do. Um
thank
us.
All in favor?
I
