The board of education, as an elected representative body of the school system, wishes to provide a forum for citizens to express interests and concerns related to the school system.  Each month, a part of at least one regularly scheduled board meeting will be set aside for citizens to address the board through public comment. 
  • A sign-up sheet will be available for any individual or group to indicate their desire to address the board.  A maximum of 30 minutes will be allotted for public comment at the beginning of the meeting and at the end of the meeting.  Speakers will be asked to limit comments to five (5) minutes each, unless there are more than six speakers per session, in which case the chairman may limit the time allotted to no more than three (3) minutes per speaker.  Sign-up is not required for the second public comment opportunity at the end of the meeting. 
  • Board members will not respond to individuals who address the board except to request clarification of points made by the presenter.
  • Except in cases of emergency, information received during presentations will not be acted upon at the time it is received.  It will take unanimous vote of the board members present to take action on a presentation considered to be of an unusual or emergency nature at the time it is presented.
  • Disruptions by any person or persons of a public meeting will be subject to action in accordance with G.S. 143-318.17. 
  • Complaints about the performance of school personnel, implementation of board policy, the quality of the educational program, or school facilities should be submitted initially for a response to the school system official responsible for the program or facility or to the superintendent.  The superintendent or designee shall make available policy 2310, Public Participation at Board Meetings, and other relevant grievance procedures to any individual or group submitting a complaint.
  • No solicitations will be allowed during public comment.

DRS Works Against Bullying
Last year, students in the Davidson River School Rebound Program partnered with Brevard College to showcase the film REJECT, a documentary video on bullying and social isolation:
http://rejectfilm.com/official-trailer/.  The film delves into the physiological impact on the brain when people are bullied/rejected and elaborates on the social/emotional impacts.  Jeremy Gibbs, Sheila Mooney, and Alice Wellborn were part of the discussion panel.  On November 7, Davidson River presented the film at the North Carolina Association of Alternative Educators (NCAAE) Conference and hosted the director of the film for a panel discussion with Jess Webb and student Alex Padilla.  Alex, an 11th grader at DRS, spoke to the audience in support of the film.  It was a powerful and effective discussion of the damage people feel when they are bullied and rejected.  Davidson River plans to further the fight against bullying and its harmful effects through professional development and viewings of the film with its students.  Davidson River Taiko also performed at the NCAAE conference that day. 
 
DRS Grant Award  
Expect for things to get a bit “squirrely" at Davidson River School this year.  Jennifer Speckman recently was awarded a grant from the North Carolina Arboretum to classify squirrel populations in the area.  Her students will work with science students in Noelle Fehn's classes who are in their second year of a grant from the Arboretum to track bird populations and migration.  Congratulations to these grant winners!
 
New Mural at Davidson River
Davidson River School is proud of its newest school-wide project, a new mural that emphasizes diversity and tolerance.  The students and staff worked collaboratively to design and paint the mural during the week of December 4 under the direction of artist-in-residence Nachin Bone.  The residency was sponsored by Mr. and Mrs. Peterman and is a great addition to the building. 
 
Leaders Are Those Who Lead
Like many districts, Alamance County Schools had a problem with drivers passing stopped school buses when kids were getting off them, so they recently installed longer stop arms signs on 25 of their buses.  In a local news story, Robert Geyer, President of Bus Safety Solutions and inventor of the longer stop arms, was asked about the effectiveness of these arms.  In his interview, he pointed to Transylvania County Schools, where all 35 of our buses have the arms.  On the day passed buses were counted, the number of drivers who went around stopped buses went down from 16 to 2, in just two years.  Congratulations to the TCS Transportation Department for leading the way in school bus safety. 
 
Digital Learning Showcase Grant
The State Board of Education has approved a Digital Learning Initiative Showcase Grant for Transylvania County Schools in the amount of $40,874.68.  This was a competitive grant process.  The grant will allow us to showcase highly effective practices for digital teaching and learning. The TCS Step It Up Showcase will also provide professional learning for other schools in our region through a demonstration model.  In receiving the grant, consideration was given to districts and charter schools aligning work to the NC Digital Learning Competencies and one or more of the following:  micro-credentialing, personalized learning, digital literacy skills for students, or innovative partnerships with Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs).  The showcase will take place at Brevard High School on June 13.  Transylvania educators who are interested in presenting at the showcase may submit a proposal by January 12, 2018 at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6VsK5HNTZn32mHNieQdtP0qSJq8kTIV0GmoJgAJrvm-RNeg/viewform.  Selected presenters will receive a $300 stipend, as well as an all-expense paid trip to the NCTIES Technology in Education Conference in Raleigh.  Congratulations to Cathy Zandecki and Vera Cubero for developing and submitting a winning grant.
 
BMS Wins Robotics Regionals
On December 2, Brevard Middle School’s First Lego League Robotics Team competed at the regional qualifier in Cherokee.  Teams were judged on the performance of their robot, its mechanical design and use of effective coding, their teamwork, and on their project.  The BMS team invented an alarm to help prevent frozen pipes.  Out of the nearly fifty teams present, Brevard Middle was named the overall champion based on their outstanding performance in the previously mentioned categories.  They are moving on to the state tournament on January 20 in Greensboro.  Congratulations to the BMS Robotics Team and teacher Justin Ausburn.
 
TCSEF Mini-Grants Awarded
The Transylvania County Schools Educational Foundation has again made $18,000 available for grants to TCS teachers, out of nearly $23,000 given to classrooms and alumni.  We appreciate very much their fundraising efforts with the annual Taste of Transylvania and the work of the Grants Committee, which evaluates upwards of 50 proposals per year.  The Grants Committee made their recommendations for the following projects to be funded in 2018-2019, with all these due for completion between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.

In August, the board voted unanimously to seek a general obligation bond for school facility improvements to be placed on the November 2018 ballot (final amount to be determined).  At the November meeting, the board heard presentations from the five firms listed below regarding qualifications for architectural design services related to the Transylvania County Schools master facilities plan.  The board may take action to select a firm at this time. 
 
Architectural Design Studio
Boomerang Design
Clark Nexsen
Moseley Architects
PFA Architects
 
Dr. McDaris, Mr. Barger, and the board will discuss next steps. 
 
As a reminder, the Local Government Commission (LGC) recommends a 120-day process for approval for a ballot measure.  Each of these steps are required, including public hearings.
  • BOE passes resolution and makes a written request to the commissioners.
  • Basics of what the bond will cover are clarified.
  • County hires bond attorney.
  • County applies to the LGC with the costs of the bond.
  • LGC approves (assuming).
  • Measure is placed on ballot.
  • Public hearings and meetings held to promote the bond.
  • Measure passes or not at election.
