Substitute/Approve 7-0

There was some discussion about the composition of the KHA Board and residency requirements (should they all be required to live in Duval County). Some of the specifics within the bill were questioned: Does a criminal record preclude participation? (No. Ms. Korman Shelton, Mayor’s Office, also emphasized the KHA mission of prevention and intervention programming); What performance metrics will be used? (To be determined by the board)

In the public comment portion, Ms. Shimp (current JCC Board member) expressed concerns about future board autonomy. Ms. Poole, (who runs the Masters of Education nonprofit) shared her views about the standards utilized for small service providers. Council President Brosche stated that she was still waiting for her list of questions to be answered. Ms. Korman Shelton said that the questions would be answered as soon as possible and distributed to all council members.

Amend/Approve 6-1 (CM Ferraro in opposition)

There was some discussion about the funding for this bill and the expansiveness of the programs (should crossing guards be provided for charter and private schools). Pat Ivey, JSO Undersheriff, said that a full study is needed to determine which schools need guards. The Council Auditor’s Office created an estimate for crossing guards for public middle schools (Approx. $300,000), elementary and middle charter schools (approx. $300,000), and private elementary and middle schools (approx. $1.6 million). CM Ferraro expressed concerns about local control vs. a state mandate for this bill.
