Superintendent Dr. Burns recommended approval of three mitigation (concurrency) agreements tied to new residential developments and identified the number and type of units for each project. The board approved:

- A mitigation (concurrency) agreement for \"Wildlife Parcel 5D,\" described by staff as located in \"Newley North,\" covering 124 townhome units; the motion passed 5-0. Dr. Burns presented the agreement and recommended approval.

- A mitigation (concurrency) agreement for \"Maxine Street,\" described as within the city of Fernandina Beach, covering 48 single-family units; the motion passed 5-0.

- A mitigation (concurrency) agreement for \"Cook Uley,\" described as in \"Uley South,\" covering 35 single-family units. Dr. Burns said the Cook Uley mitigation would affect schools in the local UE area (elementary, middle and high) and the motion passed 5-0.

The board also approved two facility-related actions:

- Approval of the contract to replace the roof on Building 1 at Callahan Elementary School; the motion passed 5-0.

- Approval of District-wide boiler project change order number 2; the motion passed 5-0.

Board members debated whether to establish a regular schedule for workshops that would be streamed, noting technical and notice requirements for the streaming vendor. Board members directed staff to collect scheduling information; after discussion the board voted to table the workshop-scheduling item until a January workshop and the next board meeting. The motion to table passed unanimously.

The board adopted the consent agenda earlier in the meeting with amendments (including adjustments to personnel effective dates and removal of certain minutes items), and then proceeded to the action items listed above.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Nassau County School Board - January 9, 2025 - The School Board of Nassau County, Florida - Jan 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its Jan. 9 meeting the Nassau County School Board approved concurrency/mitigation agreements for three residential developments, awarded facility contracts, and tabled a proposal to regularize workshop scheduling and live streaming.","taxTitle","Nassau, School Districts, Florida","taxId",15623,"location","Florida","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6678987,"Education support professionals defend millage, urge living wages at Nassau school board meeting",601,519000,1120000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2097776-5e436db8e90cfb62209f12e093d5b713&start=519&end=1120","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2097776-5e436db8e90cfb62209f12e093d5b713/thumbnail_519000.jpg","/articles/6678987/Florida/Education-support-professionals-defend-millage-urge-living-wages-at-Nassau-school-board-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6678987-ee40b19df2dd9bb426669cf37f73e250/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153420&Signature=JSkC8GFYyx2HRzPeESHYezvIj6ERj9I2gmPk34iLmZ-F44sX7icXY1RrcclGysnUbWTfEA2kWVT4mNZI7YYKASkia14ffGoeRYDfvtqy6e0f4KhvrRo1QTChBjKNgmejE5D80EySjv0kyjGkPL6Hun7fHtJFz4GZpbRwqjlEv-UlSPZ36Mfbbt3zqlr0Zi42AqoEAdkck5YkDDh4mQx2Onb25wEAAytA5~FzwCPv3jS9i8c0aS1c949DHuLRqOfN6W--wR3-dn-d6iBh7ZIq54qvbb~9WkQnVPXVHlFw33F9v4T2kqNNpR7KHC-XbOY5PJfguGy12ERmw7PUzW3ZXQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At the Nassau County School Board meeting on Jan. 9, education support professionals and community allies delivered a succession of public comments defending recent millage-funded pay and urging the board to ensure living wages and respect for noninstructional staff.

Speakers said the district could not operate without bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers, paraprofessionals and office staff. \"How frightening would it be to try to run a school without education support professionals?\" said Miriam Phillips, president of the National Educational Support Personnel Association, introducing a National Education Association video the group had prepared.

The comments were delivered during the public-comment portion of the meeting and included a mix of personal stories and appeals to the board. Diane Douglas, a former Nassau County teacher, told the board she had seen support staff perform essential work for more than 30 years and criticized \"voices\" she described as using rhetoric to pit employees against one another. Bus driver Terry Wilkinson described long-term relationships with students and families and urged the board to recognize the role drivers play in students' daily lives. \"If we're not essential, then I don't know what this person's thinking,\" Wilkinson said of a community critic referenced in the meeting.

Custodian and vice president of the local support staff association Stephanie Jesse disputed a claim made in public that custodians earn $47,000 a year. \"Not even close to 47,\" Jesse said, adding that many support employees rely on millage-related pay to cover basic household expenses.

Phyllis Alderman, a former school secretary and longtime district employee, described duties that go beyond answering phones, from helping sick students to providing steady adult relationships for children. Several speakers said the millage money is being used to retain staff and that the funding has resulted in concrete improvements for support employees.

The public comments drew expressions of gratitude from board members and district leaders. Superintendent Dr. Burns thanked speakers and said the district values support personnel, noting the role they play in daily operations and student relationships.

No board action on compensation or millage changes occurred during the meeting; public comments were recorded as part of the meeting's presentations. The board proceeded afterward to routine business and action items on the agenda.","Dozens of education support professionals and allies addressed the Nassau County School Board on Jan. 9, defending millage-funded pay and urging living wages and recognition for noninstructional staff.","actionData","errors"]
