make a cake good evening good evening thank you for coming to the second public hearing for the Jasper County School District in District and I'd like to start the meaning of bird with them location representative Bradley if y'all can ride with him thank you for the opportunity to gather together then we allow your guidance on the discussion today and allow nothing but good thing to come out of your son Jesus name we pray amen is this is a public hearing, a lot of what we have seen them a lot of new faces that I'm seeing the night in that wonderful but first I'd like to do it on the table Senator Margie bright and asked me that Matthews and starting at the far end coming back towards me I'd like each of the members of our delegation to tell you a little bit about themselves and and where they said where they want us to go tonight but it's just grab that represent the newly-formed reapportioned to include a portion of the levy southern part of the county down there I don't know where you get I have a whole life you don't want to pick up your talk a lot so I'm weird directions to be here tonight and hear what you have said so I'm wet the Newton District 124 teams of Beaufort and Jasper County up for the Ridgeland city limits look forward to hearing from you all night. We had one of these a week ago and unfortunately we didn't have but a handful of people there and smoke you know this happens every 10 years so it's nice to see simple folks that want to weigh in for those of you are in an ultimately it's math we're taking the existing number based on the population growth and dividing by the number of seats turn on the school board today they've been somewhat of a bind and suggested we probably ought to reduce that number to at least consider reducing it to something wet for the plan actually in Columbia last year that produced it 27 have been selling at the last meeting that suggested we ought to make a change it to a parallel what the County Council has and you just while none of us responded to that last week there a whole host of issues as to why that won't work, and why that cannot work within the confines of what it is that we're doing but suffice it to say about the difference between malapportioned today we have more than a hundred percent deviation in terms of population so there are issues and we've got to fix in terms of the map again how many people are represented by each of the members of the school board that look forward to hearing from you all night thanks again to come at and I'm Bill jagerhaus e122 I have the western part of the county to include the city of Ridgeland and the City of I also represent all of Hampton County and part of Colleton County and a little bit of Beaufort County but I've got two very large District I'm the new kid on the Block cuz it's all new to me too so I'm learning what we're doing here so glad to be here and glad to help where I can thanks photographer and of course you I want us to First understand one thing you want to hear from each of you but if any of you have anything written that you'd like to submit to us and Lewis you telling us something at this hearing the delegation secretary Ellen please stand up and raise your hand so I can you please feel free to give the information to her and she will make sure that she relate to each of the members of the delegation they're certain I've heard a lot of comments we heard several things you mentioned last week one of the things that we cannot take up tonight because we're here for to establish the math proposal map as a result of the new numbers that came from the last sentence just says Mr Newton representative Newton said we have and in the Cartographer will Robert just want to explain to you five things that we have to take into consideration so if it's your intention to be here to tell us that you want us to reduce the number from 9 districts to something else I have heard that and we understand that but the purpose of this hearing is to to deal with the nine districts that we have and the number descendants numbers that we have and we'll have I would introduce yourself will it be with us in the house and the Senate and his job is to go around the state and fuses for a district like yourself and he's going to tell you the five things you need to tell us that give you concern as well place to your area when you look at the map and for those people that have come in there are maps with statistics on them down here or you can always feel free to point to something on top of the maps on the thank you will might be helpful one question two with the folks that are here for the process after tonight ultimately this play the station that has to be approved by the Senate you all approve it I think it's just the delegations you and Senator David and in the house we saw 124 so open up later changing to the district has to be approved by by both bodies in the inlet map first try to get some type of resolution from the local body being the school district where they directed sisters this map is agreeable to us that's the preferred method to get a resolution from the school district they send that to us and then we proposed it in the sentence or either they said they can propose them in the house but Tom Davis and I are the only Jasper delegation members Henderson proposing the proposed map as will be wrong by mr. Robert down here and then it's going to go over to the house for their consideration local legislation the rest of the will rely upon those members that are from that District Mister Roberts Jasper County School District currently is operated by a nine-member silver truck with legged and non-partisan the current map which we refer to as Benchmark map sorry for the elections are currently of the dungeon under find me the federal court case in 2014 and was included in the suit after leaving the 2010 census data and that will deal with the single member districts have become now of course you have to release the 2020 Census Data if we find a jacket I'm driving by population of 4014 people or 16.20% in 2010 to 2020 the large amount of that population growth is the southeast corner of the county around North Boulevard area and as well as the Margaritaville area with a large population grows in small Geographic areas can you find again at the school district in wet conditions have once again become about 4 ish I might County Council Steakhouse in the State Senate District Film School District South Carolina by the general said how to get to ship on April 21st for public consumption of a preliminary first thing I want to talk about is the guy buys in the criteria which we have to draw Matchbox it so the first thing we always try to do is we have now reporting that we have to work at the population bases account total population for Jasper County is 27864 and that without the prison to your prison in Jackson County up in the original contains 927b prison population Centris Council we're doing the beginning process to an unlisted count to half a distance because that would actually means the way to vote in that district has that prison has more weight in the morning before she was none of this is the number for 10 p.m. so we need to read it. local government you always pull that prison population out in the reallocated back to the all-night District after the redistricting process is done so the first thing we look at me for doing the redistricting process is the people population include constitutional requirement for someone better Moto to get into that there's there's a deviation that we can use in there and we have to balance out not all digits and I cannot have the exact same amount of people in it that we could possibly do but we'd end up going down and wouldn't poison you a lot of dirty pretty things and getting down to the sentence W data but there is a variant of the course is allowed and accepted throughout the decades and we'll talk a little bit. We have why do the Voting Rights Act of 1965 Voting Rights Act as well as controlling Court decision if their crappy or do we have continuity all pieces of the district have to be touching each other we can't have a portion of different one down in Sun City and another set up in the Northwest portion of the county to say that one District all portions of the district have to be to take you and those first three people population buddy right back and the continuity or really the main want to drive every there's other traditional religion and principles that we look at me we're trying to do that one of the ones we also need to look at doing and maintaining position with consistency cuz it's going to be reconciled to malapportionment of the district is not to go in and give you a brand new school board everyday well that's something we could do if it delegation want it but it's not it's it's cool it's a traditional religion and so we thought before we call the plan which is the current District of the 2020 population of I've been waiting to use that as a starting point to judge district for the malapportionment also remind me on Tuesday to look into Cecilia chapter separating and come like I said we're not here to change to make up the school boards and we tried to keep teaching and they're separated this other things we do to try to respect him and he's of Interest those can be defined as geographic demographic or did you want for the other character is it they called people to identify with one another great example of this is Rock City the out there a Margaritaville Community even the town original ridgeland-hardeeville those can be considered community's interest but we were looking at overall balancing the population now sometimes we do have to see the communities of Education voting precinct on the wedding day when you go in the boat it's very tough for those poor workers to know exactly what's that saw you getting who you're voting for so we can keep the school districts to maintain their entire do you pretty things easy for them to know just what your Precinct is only going to have this one school board yesterday so we try to do that as well but then again going back to the the population issues we can always do that and also we try to keep the disc we don't want to elongate a lot of these districts to try to make it to pass possible but it just depends on where the population is in the county and how much distance need to pick up and lose its going to make you disrespect flipped it the first thing I want to do is talk. you are right now and where we need to go so we take a look at it if you have a hand out the one that you should have title Jasper County School District benchmarks that so that is going to be the current you any lines done by the federal court with your 2020 stayed in the top for the plane when all the columns and headers and in all the information game Star performs a digit number the second column is your population the third degree radiation inside with that number right there tells you how high or how low is this route is from the Target and when you get your target District number if you take it to the population of 27864 3 divided by the number of digits of each district should have roughly 3,000 to 96 people that we came in and do everything straight down to your compliance with the I like to eat disagree sit and drive around plus the monofin 39 tips to give you an example of how crazy some of these numbers are looking at 3096 and you look ridiculous it it has 5546 people in it so your third column over and shows that are 2004 750 people to hide in that District so we need to lose a large chunk of that population your phone called me she's going to be your percent deviation and I'll come back in that just a second so that's going to be your percentage of how high or how low a district then you come in the fifth column over to Spanish in the percent his band. It's been right there sitting on his pants why do we get to the non-hispanic doj black that is intended to be a P that is your voting age population is everybody is 18 years old or older to Tommy census was taken then we get the percent the AP that Hispanic be apt to finish ninth and wife zodiac populations and that is intended to be a nightmare here Jay Black play population in the Natomas percentage when we did the thing our goal is to get these things found out to what we call an overall Randy deviation of less than 10% and what the overall rain deviation is it how you calculate that it's taken a large is positive which is going to be difficult to sit is 79.13 in which is 26.94 which is District 4 and you add those together for disregarding the algebraic sign so you're looking at a 79.13 plus a 26.94 give you an overall rank deviation of 106 .07 we need to take these lines and it just that one is 6.074 below 10% so what does shutters mean this is one of the largest ones I've seen this decade is this 26.07 number to have to look at the map is there going to be a lot of change that we're going to spend is going to lose a ton of people is going to look totally different and the way you look at me this thing is when do the kids know you don't feel pain and just look like can you take a pepper when you throw it in that van and then you just have a ripple effect throughout throughout the pain when you have a large population like this just in this one District can you start moving a large number of people is going to have a ripple effect not the entire camera so that's what we're seeing in the Jasper especially having that large geographic area in that Southeastern side so I'll order Boulevard Margaritaville in the Tri-City area I want to go to talk about is the the proposed play 14203 / 21 a lot lower than what they were when we first started out the bench more and then looking back over to call him for a percent deviation in this position are you do you can you load is going to be district 6 at 5 p.m. 49 your high is District 3 that 2.07 gives you an overall ranking eviation of 7.56 so that's below the 10% threshold that we were looking for him and he really does believe it's Dixie will live. traditional redistricting guidelines that we used for the redistricting process but soon right back and just a quick overview of a Jasper County School District and where we sit today will will give a lot of information but I want you to understand this and it took me awhile to if you don't want if you have a question please ask if Benchmark is the plan that we're under down the old plan I am one is the suggested one any questions about the information he provided yes sir. got it thank you Jay Black will be anyone but at least it shows they were black African American in the 2020 census as well as anyone would miss Grace of white and black in the 2020 census let's go ahead and let's go ahead and get this is a pub parents will give us your comments try to make some ends and Franklin Avenue tragically as possible and just let us know where you from 2 my name is Carrie boys represent Paul and I am disappointed at the turnout for the education of the children of Gaston County that's go on record to that last week we met on Monday at the Heart by Bill counters a listing of what we have here now but everyone is talking about that everyone is talking about the school board what we not doing but what I have today but no money make a long story short I'm here tonight to let y'all know this is not a partisan read this is not a Republican or Democrat raised beautiful people who won tell you so if you don't want to share a pillow good Republican or Democrat this is not your platform so please don't call me if that's what you see you a school board meeting that you really didn't want to hear from us that they want to hear from Al continue with this group because they are the ones who eat letter and that paper boys we have to be a boy swivel so whatever asking you all to do let's be considerate last message be careful of what we're doing here and Bob we want to talk to the school district from 9 to whatever I think with all the engine is all the people that come into the area all the homes being built I think we do need to focus on the job school district and I think we need to keep it at 9 board members be tested it yourself growing and the people need a voice you got a 3000 now okay to 6008 East District five to ten years it's going to be $10,000 this week you can tell you to do their job we do we have problems yes but I'm asking you all to please work with the sitting board to see what we can come up with you guys are all delegation respect you all you all boys until up and we need you right now we really do because we had too many Charter Schools coming to this area right now and if we continue to allow all these Charter Schools you can tell me the coming to this area with only 2,700 kids in the school district pretty soon we won't even need to school this don't ask me the preview and deposit y'all need to get up tonight and tell these people how y'all know field this year thank you delegation what about bear stick to the facts that I am off of what your what your thoughts are as opposed to the boil-n-go on the charter school network I don't know that we need to have to worry too much about that but thank you thank you represented of Bradley are there any other members of the public wishing to offer a date any comments as a relates to the proposed plan one and better they are taking into consideration the five target areas heesters Roberts destruct do you see any picture with the map as drawn as at least two continuity is sticking with consistency number separation minimizing voter Precinct and keeping compact board members to serve you effectively good evening good evening Hyundai 7th and Kipling Street a what are the five and I can pay the bill tomorrow bring me to 2223 * 1 Size Doesn't Really Matter but I'm looking at the Mexican singing it I see here when you have me up in Cherry Hill and then back down the Argent Boulevard Jefferson Station okay and I'm just wondering because he's one of my other board members Kathy old house area then I have survived when so bad cuz I'm understanding why is it still there with the people who are there any way to Cherry Hill Jefferson Station to Jefferson Station Apartments also be in the southern part of is it okay if they come packed with me and also who would be your suggestion again and the dish bought the old house area is that means, passing through old house to get the Cherry dipped Medford Mattress between a note enough to see why you put the Cherry Hill getting up at 7 to the chair yet I think the old Warehouse area is in 30 at the old house or the person and let me take out the old house okay that works Cherry Hill and I'm just a station that puts me right any other suggestions just keep in mind he Mister Roberts can explain to you in one area causes a shift in another area so thank you for your comment. the one issue here and do with that old house in Chimney Hill into large simply Block in that area as large Geographic within a large populations or so it's really going to divide up that old are you cuz you didn't try to take an old house are you also going to go in free clothes so you going to end up taking the old house your Duel of the garages that hold here you have to get picked up and moved into a different picture and then you would end up having to pick up digital population somewhere else he's going to start report that between District 37 and 5 and given where the incumbent lives in district 7 was very close to go to Dan Cummins house and what I can remember nothing about heading I know he has he's mostly he had the largest Mainline saying that but he has been closer to the Arden area Jefferson Station area send a text message. my name is Summer and I live in Frederick Maryland is with the constituent a class of 32 in one or both of the mask the two different numbers for 2 and one from The Benchmark to The Proposal besides if the number changed as far as one being a larger area than 11 on the Benchmark the number came in at 2 so the geographic area looks like it the same but you changed your number so you're looking at constituents now being in the same area but having a different cuz I want the same geographic area and we presume it could be the same number of constituents but they have different representation and then I'm also looking at five six and eight on the proposed oh my head again the area looks drastically different on the proposed plan versus The Benchmark plan plan so I'm wondering if you know what can be done to remedy this apparently is leprosy in the constituency consistency with the population in the number but it looked different in different one of the thank you very much I can just tell you before you before you leave this plan that we are operating on was probably one of the most out of deviation out of whack as far as the numbers are concerned and as you know Jasper County into the Hardeeville area Sun City area that was some of the heaviest growth pattern over the last 10 years so that's why the numbers the elementary way to say it but I'm going to ask Will to explain it before her. very little room we can do call them 10% overall rank deviation we have to get it but go back to the benchmarks that if you looked interested I meant Mark at 5546, population district one has Interstate double the population of district one until when you have that dramatic discrepancy what we basically did in the math just did a clockwise shift so makes me disrespect looking at 5 somewhere around Hardeeville area district 6 going to come out of town to the Sun City going to push to over to make it to an 80 open to the western side. So that's how that shift occurs is called we're bringing sneaking into the Sun City area to put something in his home district and then everything else just doesn't clockwise shift around to the different one month into the downtown Hardeeville area District 5 shifts to the Southeastern side of parties and so we had to basically skip all the southern districts around dramatically can I get back my old shoes representative Bradley definition of Anna I want to do it but thank you by the way the plan was drafted in as quick as a result of court case in 2014 basically Drew these life and I'll try to address your computer point the judge basically threw these long cuz he had an agenda and he had an object if he was trying to, right no I'm not I just want to make sure that smart plan is almost the definition of gerrymander OK Google, something hasn't has gone back and taken the five guidelines that we have in his tried to address the five guidelines which actually is the more Equitable outcome may not be exactly the same types of cross-border but ended with the five guy. Is that correct if I can representative Bradley was saying some of the shift was because he had married that idea of keeping us uncomfortable in their district and shifting and we lost so much population at the top of Spurs and gained so much at the bottom that's why you see the compactor going to the bottom and the top 50 spread out and protecting certain making certain areas considered a representative that I see you I was just do that MR2 we'll work on it Appraisal District Number 7 the spring on I listen to Lisa Robinson I just listened to this into something like back in 2014 and I guess the Benchmark first of all the Benchmark plan was drawn on the 20-20-20 tennis center Stan would not come with that as long as benchmarks saying as we speak for the numbers you have a 9 of the number ask me for the 2023 plane so the is mod saying that was really not so much out of whack as you are sick because of the not the number one that people at that time I talked to pop Latino. and I don't think it was someone very mattering at that time because you had left people right now you blowing in the Sun City area and that is lower part of that I'm done getting back with District 5 and 7 right now I was assuming because of the packet that board members order to know according to the address that telephone number and all that and their registration number it's so what I said we have the same people into different. the packet that we get so I was speaking with this miserable District 5 and she thought she had Cherry Hill I thought I had Cheerios Cheerios but then as it was listed in Cherry Hill so we don't know where it is cuz I live at the frontage and of Cherry Hill right off of store-bought road that goes into Jerry Heller so everybody in Cherry Hill is in May but then today on another District they not connected to me at all so I'm trying to figure out how my commute don't vote for me so and I kind of the other thing is like I said when we get the booklet of saying who is it'll be in our district and we'd go out campaigning campaigning to the wrong people so how are you going to connect this math and everybody that's in in these districts to the to the I'll bet that we will get to know who's in a different state I just need to know because it doesn't work and I'm looking at a district 6 and I know you said your honor 10% but he still have 170 border so I don't know where you can pick some of that up and take it out of somebody District especially that's on the end where it would be contacting with his picture I'm going to fix the beer it almost at the point where he can stop and start answering questions did you go to let him do that okay Israeli side the package you get if I guess I'm assuming you were that I'm getting state election commissioner of the County voter registration if so what they will do with once the legislation is passed it used to be that this would have to go for me to justice for what they call section 54 I was born in in a 2014 court case there's no longer will just go to the Department of Justice will be clearing but Emily is not about Governor copy matter did you provided to the cattle go to registration let's just lie down by the revenue in fiscal Affairs office in the legislation stated they are the repository for these Maps so they will have the official mascot a copy will be sent to the voter registration office and then at that time they will begin shipping voters based on the free the first thing we'll do is we'll see if the entire Precinct in the new District or if it's an old district and they will begin moving those better once we get into the blow this up freezing level is when he gets extremely tricky to voter registration I go in and actually look at the streets that are / to justify it so it's a split stream the right side who won District left side than the other voter registration office has to know what the address is the when they're trying to move voter's ID what size what side of the street is district and they have to have the exact address train to break down at 3:16 so they'll go through that process of moving those boats those screams in the butters into the new distance South Carolina even if you get through different you're not always going to get a new photo registration. Carolina election law only required and what I can never undo go to registration card if you're freezing change it or not in your District we had some issues the hard-working working Drum Hill physical therapy for twenty years before I left to go to the senate in the election day is always been crazy around here, people were calling out with me and I got 20 on my address to say no registration card if you haven't gotten a normal day but the counties in how do you spell dated back say the number now hit it when I forgot what you said was totally we knew the high road area the same thing we had into the 2010 with with no charge coming up and Sun City the growing area Authority Bulova . rolling Harleysville throwing the new Mac the guitar guitar guitar center, we're trying to get that $39 and give it to Ruby Roo because I can guarantee. nearest me to come back and do this again is there sitting next to end up having to shift the population out to the other day that they buried it seems to grow so we took that into consideration and creating distance it's just from Sun City area give it a little bit of breathing room I know hun definitely not much when you're looking at 9 district for the fall population Jefferson County. That's about it for this week okay what time tomorrow will never question this is a community and put me most of the people in here tonight have just seen this map the first time so I guess my question is how soon after this meeting will you all make a decision on this and how what is the deadline for the tentative Matthew said that they can contact me some power that they have any more questions or concerns when is the deadline for their questions and and how soon would this map go to to be passed and would it affect the election of 2024 it looks like I'm going to wait until May of next year we can't hear anything like that on okay thank you we can go until May of next year at the end of this current second they were in which two years this is the first year of his eye and it'll be on in May of next year so the board that the numbers on the board that is up for election for election this will take effect for the November elections in 20 that is correct that is the intention for community members to get information to you all before you make a decision we haven't set a deadline yet and that's the delegation can talk about quite frankly what we were trying to do is have a community hearing get input give it give you all give the input back to mr. Roberts see what he can come up playing in anyway and present it back to us if you noticed each of us have been writing your comment we want to take those in the consideration when he does the presentation to us of a Revival now thank you and in there again miss Priscilla feel free to contact Mister Roberts directly I have no problem good evening good evening Shalonda December district one school board representative I guess my concern is King at the new proposed map it is basically taking me out of my community and we talked about the consistency of a constituent so that's my major concern it looks like with the purple and whoever is representing District 2 will be over in a district that I represent and that District representative is from Hardeeville what is your District I want to make sure I heard you write your District presently is one and where do you reside within the Blue Area there that is marked for District 1 I do hope that it's only a small for I feel like my neighborhood I feel like I'm being I'm being displaced from the people in my community and who out of her District members will change but if your district one now you can you be District 2 player it looks like pH of 1% representing 31 people over what the target 3096 I understand your concern is you don't have the same right it has put me I would say I stay out of the city limits and where it has put me at now has actually brought me into the city limits of Ridgeland that's okay thank you will you have any comments to her concerns that you don't have to if you weren't so what we had to do yeah I see exactly what you're talkin about the reason for that dip and didn't want to take a couple. So when you get this in the bench just got that western side of Morganville the population and we did what you did but he moved down from Sun City to vacated that geographic area so they got his work for district 112 come in for district for Injustice but this is one being right there and where your resident is compared to where District or reside we just move different one into that Western Hardeeville area instead of drawing district for down that we could have done it where did the Ford Company in a heads up that Western Hardeeville side we would have to take district one almost all the way up to the northern side of District 4 where is Under The Benchmark which could have potentially put two and coming in the same district so in order to keep the zip code to the Republic separated into the groove disappointed with 40 buildings and then had District to come up on the west side of the county did you say horny baby I see we have another taker action or give me the address to us is what we use now I believe their own too long back to the bigger what days trying to do is not the end up with two different members in the same district against each other existing members Tom Bailey Avenue District second of my district from Sun City is one who created most of the problems with the apologize for that I appreciate that if you have to do that to put this LOL and its management I don't understand at all I got other computer programs to help me out with it but I'm glad you're doing that for my district very compact contiguous if you're so afraid. I think that you were trying to do and I didn't understand about 170 fewer people in my district and sung as of the 2020 census but it is said about some 44th Building 200 so since the sentences because of the wife are people that live there so I know you can't take that into account I know it's 7 years will be back here and we throwing all this path but I appreciate it. Bank of America I think we have someone else so my thing is right now I mean event tomorrow at 1 if y'all take this and divide that's like that y'all saying this has to be a part of your area which is assuming and Stan hilarious I'm not sure who are what's your name again Amberly Morgan Kimberly Morgan Miss Morgan State your question again please where is Burnett's Benchmark and we've done this now then I will be in District 2 stay the same School District trustees I understand that and that would need a board member for the Wikipedia District 2 all of the district trustees represent all schools in Jasper County Elantra this is only a result of the lines for each of the district trustee members so we're going to meet this is where they're at I don't want to get another response but thank you for your question I appreciate you coming that happened yes sir George live t.i. live in district 6 I would have been City so I'm not in a meeting like this so my questions or my thoughts manual fire so I understood everything that you said I understood the whole system any try I'm going to try to do to you but I think I think it's really hard, they can see that make all these numbers work and and all these people the different districts plus you're trying to keep the rip the current board members in something that makes sense for them at the same time same time trying to do with the population in the park people that moved in made a note of the board members had to be in a certain place stuff so they didn't cooperate but I think I think that there's an opportunity in light of the fact that the Benchmark was made in the way it was made which was not the optimal way but had some other agenda judge did what he did for all the way everybody did it they weren't the optimal reasons relatives the county and the population of the time at Starbucks until the district's got all I bet that'll shake it so now you're in a position where you're trying to get back to where they really should be and maybe that they should have been in the first place what's the population for today and all that. But I think you have an opportunity here because in a lot of ways you have a number of different competing issues if you're trying to every kind of wisdom buy things at three different the, and I didn't hear that any of them have to do with keeping the current board members in the proper place for that district and keeping it this week so important nothing I miss you for them I can understand that but I think the opportunity here is the only thing I can think of that would relate to this is if you ever follow a company that's not the phone at some point they got all these older phones are for you at some point they have to pick it up now they can't any longer I can't any longer what port the old model because they keep trying to do that they can't move both because they're tied to something that's young same thing here what do you put in a lot of weight if you trying to do is move forward future but the same time you got something that holding your back at the same time and I think the opportunity here is too I don't mean this in a way that would be offended anyone but at that I think that the current what you got and and move the way that would best serve account and that might mean but some of these representatives are not in the convenient place where they represent before and you have to make a move forward in that man to get dammit repeat for a new count for a new district and someone new is not going to be for the district that they previously and if you mention it and I don't know the details about it but you mentioned that there are some issues relative to reducing the number of districts I don't know what positions are but I would say that have an opportunity because if you don't tie yourself what previous exam meeting where the board members reside what the records at now and you're going to go to the end of May which is the end of the new election cycle life at that point we have an opportunity to relax board members in new district and you have an opportunity also the same time when you doing all this this is the opportunity to actually consider possibly reducing the number and making it less governmental process less, I grew up in a place where my a high school that 30% of students that's more students in Hennepin County where I come from does that present a problem for board members to deal with it larger numbers and so I think I know where I know we haven't being in a Motorola kind of barrier but I think there's room for growth and still have let's meet for governmental oversight of the Roman number Precision Inc thank you very much appreciate it anyone else and I'm just so we try to keep these two one hour we're almost at that point and the lady Gamecocks are playing tonight Obama's second one I mean I don't know what you want me to come on the guy this is what we have to do but the problem is how do we do this to make it easy for her our members but they've got while they're going to be get changed up 12662 we've got some people that are being shuffled around and my only suggestion that will hopefully is if we're going to do this because got to get ahead of a Jasper County is he growing and we're doing we've got to go forward with this plan will then let's do it give them a chance to stay local I am now just this one now coming election I would meet you people what does it mean I need to go to this wall that give them some advanced technology time to set these so they can work on it my board members can figure out where they need to run who they need to run housing people from Fresno Cedar ideas to share your idea is too short to slide over to take him to bed maybe March or February so that they did have a chance to work the new District did they might be campaigning yet if it's a pain pill paint that we have to do is get ahead of our young then Finance with welfare thank you very much and in all of you please understand probably what you said each of us up here and gone through this region stretching wear for instance me I now go all the way from Jasper in to James Island that's a long way and so they're probably I think we'll how many thousand I think 20 something thousand more voters that I have to get to know him good evening my name is Patricia department and presently I am in this big somebody helping it I think it's a district 6 or 7 is basically what you said I can understand the redistricting but if a and b are not communicating that I didn't see a whole lot of seniors and people that's been long left in our community not being able to being for so now if somebody wanted against incumbents or going to be able to come and just take our district but was not without a heart for our community the people that serve them apart for the community just coming in whatever reason did you say whatever the reason may be that, and now they win because potable they have whatever they have to be able to win but when you take me to Dedicated you have people that know the community at a disadvantage because now people in the community is going to be realistic but they don't have a new card to say that and then election day they're going to be whatever reason they not going to do so is it easy win or somebody else please somebody need to take that in consideration whatever card whatever is necessary to make sure that everybody given a fair chance with this redistricting that they will be able to go out there and campaign but when the winds when the citizens come to vote they don't have the hassle that no you're not here so you have to go someplace that's my concern I thank you for this thank you very much any comments from any of the delegation members any other comments from any delegation members any other public the lawyer I mean mister lawyer I was trying to say they are without saying anything at all what concern McPherson's Morris lawyer my district now would be District the district now let me just use one my dishes made it with you I think the stand for my concern is that when we do the new map was the consideration the people who are already here that I'm holding answer Highway to Heaven for that know them in these districts a lot of people where we have bad luck with this. now what the community mean in the process even the educational process and they have to know the person if they have a problem both room and talk to them in there over the years. Representatives the harbor area is growing just unimaginable city of from another state and son from another country they have the right to hold and I want one but they don't know the people that make music so when you add stop to map and cut up some of the people that can help them become aware the community and let voting based on where they came from they are so don't understand I may not understand that bad the decision affect the children because we are boarding school board positions when they don't understand the community coming from somewhere out today but school board members and the community dissipating in the school if you'd notice on my trailer that we have finalized and that's what we try to do but we test out the map and take people out to community where people are familiar with them and they can Inspire now. I can be representing fixing to move them around my car to go all the way up in the driveway some of the kid and somebody I'll give them in the area don't know so I understand we have to make changes along the way but I hope a lot less than it is in separation because we can order you throw it together and what exactly the Body Move Your Body I'm familiar with people that their representative then we got to recharge this engine all over again and get it back to full speed and it may never get back. That's all. Thank you mister lawyer with his profound, too unless there's a member of the delegation that wants to say anything I see we have a couple of other elected officials I see mayor William album out in the audience I see counseling Camp if you'd like to stand and say something before we wrap up now it's your time would be a rare politicians if you didn't want to say something your rehab thank you Rick Facebook first of all thank you for coming is there any other member of the school board president School Board of Trustees that is here that wants to stand up and be recognized please do so I see who is Riley thank you for coming birdie birdie ride with that if we don't have any other public comments I would at least the motion to adjourn is the new man nobody's coming second in but I will we can adjourn safe travels and don't lady Gamecocks
