37 <br /> Deon Temne said he wants to make sure that the lines are kept straight and that he <br /> does not want elected officials directing staff just like he would not direct the county staff. He <br /> said that he would like for the elected officials to send their requests to other elected officials. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that she would pull the minutes and get a copy of those <br /> out. <br /> George Griffin said that in reviewing the regulations, it seems that requests for <br /> information should come from the Orange County Board of Commissioners to the Board of <br /> Education. He said that it should not come from individual members. <br /> Chair Price said that they can review that and the County Manager can take it to the <br /> Board. <br /> Commissioner Greene said she wants to support Commissioner Richards' request and <br /> to acknowledge what Mr. Griffin just said about following regulations. She said that if they prefer <br /> a vote of the Commissioners then she would be happy to vote to support the request for <br /> information. <br /> George Griffin said that he is not asking for that at all. <br /> Deon Temne said this is about procedure. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that she thought this group was about conversation and <br /> getting a better understanding. She said that she has not brought this up since that. <br /> Chair Price said that the superintendents will get together to see if CHCCS has the <br /> same information that Orange County does. <br /> Commissioner Richards said this is a collaborative meeting for information sharing and <br /> that if this is an unreasonable request, she can understand that, and that she will drop the <br /> request. <br /> Chair Price said they have said they will get the information. <br /> Commissioner Richards said that it seems they have gone down a road that is not <br /> where they were on this conversation. <br /> Deone Temne said that he was giving clarity on a procedural request. He also said that <br /> if they are getting a request from someone that might challenge the teacher's work then they <br /> might say no because of that. <br /> Chair Price said that she thinks that is a different conversation and not one that pertains <br /> to this item. She said that what she is hearing is that Commissioner Richards made a request <br /> during a joint meeting for information and that she has not received it yet. She said that <br /> individual requests will be sent through the County Manager. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Commissioner Bedford, to <br /> adjourn the meeting at 9:30 p.m. <br /> Roll call ensued. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Renee Price, Chair <br /> Laura Jensen <br /> Clerk to the Board <br /> Submitted for approval by Laura Jensen, Clerk to the Board. <br />
