Good meeting. iGuys - students shared their knowledge of the iPads and the many ways they are using the iPads.

	Reid to give report on School Board Association's Legal conference. Nothing at this time. 1. We discussed as a board to have a goal of quarterly training/team building/planning work sessions dealing with larger issues and longer term issues than we can discuss in regular work sessions. I hope we can begin those very soon especially since we are changing Superintendents. 2. Jeff Venables is one of the teachers called to meet with Governor Haley on a repeating basis. Perhaps he could give a report to the board.

Dr. Moody Moving to Salisbury #rockhill #rockhillschools #Salisburync

Photo by Andy Burress, The Rock Hill Herald

Dr. Lynn Moody resigned as Superintendent of the Rock Hill School District at the Rock Hill School Board meeting Monday night and accepted a position as Superintendent of the Rowan - Salisbury School System.

Rock Hill School Board member Walter Brown read the following announcement before the board voted to release Dr. Moody from her contract:

We’d like to thank Dr. Moody for her 10+ years of service to our district. We are much better for her leadership. The foundation she helped build will allow us to continue in her departure.  We know she will do the same for the Rowan-Salisbury School District. We wish Lynn, Wayne, Brad, and Hunter the very best.

We have a very capable staff in place. Our work will continue as we move to build upon Rock Hill’s history of outstanding Superintendents.

The board’s first task will be to hire an interim Superintendent to fill the Superintendent’s role while we go about selecting a leader who will build upon the foundation already established.  We are a very good district, well positioned to maintain a leadership role.

The board will be meeting over the next 10 days to work on an action plan for filling our leadership position.

Dr. Moody's contract with the Rock Hill School District was to June 30, 2018.

Academic progress evaluation. Discussion of transient populations. The tension between our undisputed goals of academic progress verses measuring other goals - parent/community which is important but question as to whether Board priority.
My suggestions for future board retreats are...
Always include some  board development in each retreat. Have everything that will be handed to us as paper sent to us digitally, even if just before meeting. I need a place to report about the SCSEA Board Meeting. We need more time to discuss these topics. I would like for us to work on all the topics in more detail from the meeting. Common Core as it progresses. Budget - we did not mention it today but it is a crucial topic.
