Judge candidates September 3rd school board meeting we could have discussion around canvas then and vote for permit to consider the school but that meeting is just a little September 17th is our work session School work session and if we don't have all the information we can then discuss and vote for a permit to go to the school at that time and conceivably the need to be hired by September 17th so board member that is my overview the process of committing Evolution why you haven't why do liability liability sorry I didn't why do someone have to kill us with the app somebody. We are all grown and I understand in Boardman escorting my response to you with liability the question is Chairman 3 fata left already NFL today resume we will need to get marijuana the third part today is all we have with us are us attorney for five points is a calm is with her and she has several areas that we've asked her to do stuff with the boy around first of all we are asking for a Health Plan analysis based on our 2% increase and we want the board to be to get all the information you need around the car and I don't know how she can go in the best night we've also asked her to talk about an extra exclamation of the standard operating what we need to know Florida school system brand new territory and so I thought it would be great for her to come and talk to the board about that we also have a critical infrastructure definition and policy at one time we were getting made a critical infrastructure as a school system and then we are right now we are not I'm welcomed tonight we're delighted to have it thank you and I appreciate your time tonight I will send as much time or as little time as on a topic as you guys want to spend I did prepare some slide so we're going to move through those but again if you have a question open your mind I don't mind that at all I'm used to that broker for your benefit set for the part that's the state health plan we service that product but we don't actually derive any compensation from it because you pay your premiums to the state but but we help you understand and navigate that stuff along with your other benefits they said we have it pulled my benefits Channel which is a employee life cycle software that a lot of you all the way around everything that said happens in an employee life cycle with the employer all the way through off-boarding but that's a sign of a brief overview of who I am and what we do as a doctor, he said I am an attorney. I pray that I work helping customers like you all understand compliance obligations and anything really that touches that wheel for employee life cycle for I'm training to time management to the way we integrated payroll to compliance-related help I try to help district navigate those things and bring some continuity that's walking across the state about this thing so our presentation objectives I just wanted to lay out kind of an expectation of what I'm trying to accomplish and then you can add to where do we need to buy some medical information for the state and I want to share the development out of the Tennessee State Legislature and its special session just yesterday to let you know about some changes to the law then inform the board and guidance for the Tennessee Department of Health and the Tennessee Department of Education and Fayette County Schools response so basically what are the requirements and how have you prepared to respond team in soccer what cans and then I've been working with them so just kind of laying it out so that you don't get phone calls and not know what the answers are we want you to know how to how to understand and have an opportunity and then policy considerations you want to make us completely in your depression I don't take a position on whether you should or shouldn't it's more of the presenting option and then answering questions in advance of your set my agenda medical Twain renewal information just because I talked briefly showed you a couple of concept I want to make sure we remember is the ACA affordability concept that mean the 88 employer mandate requires large employers to offer affordable coverage to their full-time employees or else they have a penalty Act after what that mean we go to the next line is we have to make sure that we don't fall below of floor and how much we pay for insurance and that's the bottom amount that they can be have paid for them under the law a hundred and $4.53 per month that they can bring out of their own pocket as as the most they can pay out of their own pocket for employ individual coverage then we also have to make sure we maintain compliance with B he spending requirement so that's a second layer of requirement that we have to try to keep our eye on the floor of the minimum we can and that is God about BP funding and Affordable Care Act but then we also have the above the floor is anything you want to do to recruit and in and keep your employees as well as with your able to fund right that it has to be cuz not only what we wouldn't let me pay for it and those are kind of the guideposts we have to keep in mind that with the State Health Plan in 21 rate increase we know that the information is being sent by the state I went up at the spot in here just to show you that the original idea from the state was the rate increases going to be 4.1% coming into 2021 but in order to get it down to 2% for that column in the Redbox then we had August 8th Northeast formulary so what that means is a picture is your employees are going to experience the ones especially on a specialty drug will experience potentially 85th to the amount that they have to pay out of their pocket for that medication it doesn't mean it won't be covered it just means it changes what tier the right how much the plan play at 8th and how much did you pay for that particular medication and he wins that he's me with that formulary times they were able to get the rate increase down to two percent but it's still 2% and this is the letter from the state of Tennessee Department of Finance and administration that tells us it's going to be 2% so dentist premiums coming out of state now this is how much you as a board are going to be paying and then we have to decide you will have to decide I should say at some point what part of that is going to be paid by the board to the funding allocated the schools and what part of that is going to be paid by the employer pocketbook this is the total amount of premiums right through the cost of in this area between the employer and employee the part that are you at the thought so as we look at budget plan options we know that it's getting more expensive. So this is how this 2% is allocated that you don't have to conceptually and I can get as far into it as little as you want but it is what does that economically look like for the coming year and allocation how much do we have to spend to spend 2% more and then if we take all of that on herself with that look like if we share that with the employee that cost increases the employee we pay 1% and they pay 1% what that look like if we have them pay 25% 75 West that look like and if we take all of it and we absorb it all of the rating free 100% of it then the insurance policy. What is the total image we're budgeted change expected and it expected to be if you was or were all of the increased $53,424 at the projected absorption it would be so who won confirming that we want to make sure we keep in front of is what about look like on a projection of 5-year projection and this loud is is meant to show that which is the blue line on the bottom is where we are right now in 2020 we hate the cost of health insurance today 2667000 dollars and protect it for whatever five years and nothing changed except for six and a half percent increase average which is pretty in keeping with national trend Anthem Hills Lantern 3431000 would be what we would be paying if we changed nothing right if we just at 20/20 grape projected for 5 years and then the green line above it is the one that shows which is to increase with a mask looks like and you can see we're going from 2720000 in year one all the way out to 3.5 million by your five for the same coverage assuming a six and a half percent increase that's what that is and I wanted to say you that part of what you're doing when you do business with us as we have a proprietary Actuarial playing I swear that we can run in this lot is an example of how it crunches millions of plane we can identify them by ZIP code we can we can crunch the numbers by region of the state like West Genesee and we can hear the Bi-Lo claims medium claims and high claims and then look at roughly in an in a sense of population how common is the low class is playing first at the hotspot display and we can we control that information down and then predict how we might shift the plans on if you ever wanted to do that now when you're on this date we don't have any of those options right so they only talked to Ron they plan the plan b identify what their coverages are going to be they give it to you and you purchase it just a transaction some district has chosen to take more control over that and have the ability to cough contain by a change in the plan devised as they want to still keeping bees funding but but experiencing either shopping in a little bit in the private Market just to see if it looks as good or better what we have done in the past is we shot that and out of roughly like 45 District that we have stopped it with we do the math and we say it doesn't make sense for you to leave the state you should not even think about it your numbers are good at the state stay where you are but sometime we can project forward and look at the right it makes sense to look at a private auction so out of 25 we might quote maybe 5 look good enough to actually explore the possibility of moving right and that's free to look you can put a pencil 2 this thing with the private Market comes back so when they purchase things that are Blue Cross from the state we still go to Cigna Blue Cross and get clothes and then we also get clothes from United it and the other and we bring them back and Save you don't want to put it at all or maybe they'll have one acquitted or maybe only one wants to put it so we can come and get a feel for the private Market have an interest in you as a standalone group or did they say know your plans are too bad and then you just that makes more sense you're pulling your work or group of all the other districts only reason you would think about looking and we started if you don't want to live we don't look if you want to look we look at the way that works this is an example of how the we have a robust education system for employee than the reason I gave you this it showed me the total cost of healthcare is the concept that the only thing I'm really focusing on here is the list on the left you don't control the ductable separate prescription deductible coinsurance office visit co-pay drug co-pay whether you don't control any of that when you poop they said it and you don't get to pick and cheese so if you wanted to explore what it would look like to say why I need to save $5 then we can try to back into that number if you say we got to say it was $1,000 and then we left with that 5 minutes. what is the percent that it is totally free to look no obligation either and it may be that we call you back and say it's not even worth talking about anymore cuz the place didn't look good enough so that's that is an option for where is it currently if I'm wrong but we don't have to make an immediate decision we have about so if we're going to look at it we would need to to go ahead and get the data on your group for the State Health Plan so that we can send it to the carrier's to look but that would be a much we have more time to actually talk that it's supposed to give you an idea what the with the trajectory look like or what the passivity we would get the claims Dana back from the state and then take it to the carrier's and then have the carrier's tell us whether they even have an interest in playing ball if you will or not the numbers and don't give us some preliminary quote but if they don't want to quote it then we would just say it's off we're just not even pulling with that we're just going to say we can't forget till we look I can't predict Twitter claims are until we actually get the claim that's that's why I'm starting the process is not a commitment but it has to start meeting with the chain and we play the continue to do that and next Wednesday we have a Chiefs meeting just one kind of comments having done the insurance and benefits both here in Fayette County before and in Haywood County this is a big conversation this is not as you know we'll talk about it for five minutes because it impact people at every level also drives decisions about employment it drives decisions about how much coverage I'm going to offer if I can't afford the health care coverage for my family does that mean you have to go elsewhere for that I like the idea and and I've spoken with stop points on a number of occasions professionally in my responsibility and we talked a lot about shopping with just never done it my concern at this point is I think it's a great idea and I think we need to do it but I think we don't need to do it maybe this year and the reason is October is open enrollment so we have we really don't have a lot of time to stay about what the other options are there out there and to properly educate our employees have to make a decision and I feel like in Fayette County is not alone but I think we've done in the past sometimes we've done our employees it to service by not using them in a knot what is that we're not alone in that process I've experienced it elsewhere to one thing I would like to see 527 they've done this and can't do this and I spoke with dr. watkinson. funny about this too is at some point in the great scheme of things is not a lot of money then we need to be sure that we tell her employees what that means for them because Minions that didn't get maybe they didn't get us a large bonus or they didn't get a raise but we do this for  in this is what it what it would look like for them analysis are a great way for us to tell her story because when we go to employees get disgruntled about this out of the other and I start looking at working someplace else if we can give them a piece of paper or some kind of an analysis that tells them a check online insurance and we're getting you maybe a life insurance policy cuz I know some districts do that and since they facilitate that as well we're paying this for you were paying this for you that inflates with that salary looks like and it makes us look really attractive your content compare one employer against another I would like to see if it's some point do that I know that's what really Administration level of decision and I want to see us I think this is something that kind of get it push-to-start and we just the last several years we've made a last-minute decision oh crap it's insurance premium notices I've been working in the district solid-state get that information and we've got plenty of time to make that decision so we tried it for next year I don't like to see it's like the last one of them is that you have to learn that the funding and the budget cycle to be finalized so that you know how much money has been appropriated from the county side before you really present the final numbers because we get you to guess the state issued the premiums and set the premiums in the timer which is already a short calendar in her blue eyes changed over but at the same time we we have to be able to let enough claims they to be in the system that is Carrier will give you a competitive close if we try to close in February open Match that it's hard because with her having to do if they're having that may come in the next few months so there's two real drivers on the on the timing one Accord we're in the middle of Covenant it's in your pleasure you say we don't want to do this right now that's fine I will say though what time is the Kool-Aid car on tax in just looking at a normal calendar this is when it's going to fall the cause but have to happen we have to get the claims data far enough along to get a reliable place to get the budget out of the commission with a prude from you like you have to present the budget then get it funded and then know what they're working with because if it won't find the renewal as a state plan right then that tells us what it what we can find on a private party and they said they worked together so I just went over that to your consideration whether it's now or later doesn't matters I'm going to have to be something that we start to think about trying to figure out where the planes are falling so we can even see if this is worse than the time on and that hurts at any point in here really isn't it won't be as reliable until it's later in the year did one of the reasons I wanted to app that we we just got in a budget and so I wanted to start conversation and Andrea Lee what time is the date before that time so I was thinking of a month to six weeks based on our conversation sidebar Marissa consider it now but you don't have to make a decision I believe budget increase and your choices for what so they going to bring a lot of choices but that does not mean we have to make a choice and I thought maybe the time going out do we got school started and now he's got the budget through just so now. I know we have to approve something in September we would need to know if you are making the move to a private plan and time that employees don't be frustrated to come frustrated by having logged into Edison and check their plan on way to find out they're going to do it again what we would be doing is making a decision to move and is setting up the enrollment enrollment doesn't have to be in October the reason his face is not over there so many people to enroll so we could move the enrollment work we knew what the numbers look like but we would know we need you to have the spotted by September and we have to decide what we can employ there's a there's a vote that occurs we've done it in other District it requires employers education so it's easy to do when we've done it many times but he is the private option and then you let him pass the ballot is it is a straightforward process so what about it instead this point in time is not late because we had to wait till after I budget the timing of actually accomplishing the goal we have to be focused but it's it is all right and if you can back to the no sir if we can get back to my presentation okay I know the presentation is a cra we're not going to spend a lot of time on this Plaza stays on a visual picture there's nothing play Prince Ali from the time we hire them and need additional benched up if it was worried about things like in a bus levels and levels in food service is already all the way up to the training in the tracking and offering to leave and pain believe me it's a big old mess that's what we're helping guide you through your butt so the Tennessee State Legislature helseth a little bit as a school because yesterday afternoon late they packed and legislation that we work on we have lobbyists that part of what we do is commission dollars when we work for you like we do is we get paid commission on the product and then we put those back into things that we do for the district and example is the lobbying efforts to try to help protect you guys from frivolous lawsuits that might be filed by people who don't understand that it's really hard to reopen Department of Health a little differently than what the CDC does the CDC is the air it doesn't realize that we're following the governor's orders and looking at what the Department of Health local he's saying as well as what the department does that make sense bill the attack yesterday this is House Bill 8001 pass in special session it contains language that says that it is part 2, Tennessee covid-19 recovery on Cedar Plaza private business included language to the benefit of school in any finalizing lost damage injury or death arising from covid-19 it must file a sworn complaint that I can't just go to the courthouse and put something on paper which is a hurdle Anthony to see the school district and they have to give specific facts that you have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct as a district not just regular old neighborhood 50/50 the lower test to clear and convincing which is a stuck-up not quite reasonable doubt are the requirement that the city school district they would have to have a doctor be willing to put a written statement to say that they caught that there's causation from school with us as we know it would be very difficult to prove her buddy got covid that's part of the trouble with the virus and so it makes sense to try to prevent you from having to spend money on lawsuits that should not have been brought in the first place this will help with the tracks and take away I want to see the school district rid of it faster since you're not bogged down spending let me have the requirement to the Tennessee Department of Health and education the education department issued stable procedures along with a lot of other things there's no little kids dr. Connie Watkins has been working for those toolkit there are many I need to set feel like 26 they all cover different subject matters and they're very deep very high-level tell you that they also gave some procedures which is the concept G specifically were asking me to dress as procedures an Xbox hunting energy it's a mini page document but it's Thanksgiving Point out District have an obligation to actively plan for how the virus would be addressed the district campus and classroom level and create necessary plans to be till those expectations as well as efforts to be made on managing the virus bread and overall impact to student makes sense right, says stuff and then you have to educate and train on those things but I think inside a black hole as well as the student and family level that we have an expectation in the community of making sure they feel like they're coming to school safely as well as to the employee Fayette County's responses part 2 already done you got time. website you have a safe and healthy plan for reopening there been lots of projects that you got to take type of onesie to the perfect in front of us now is news Department which is Department of Health that talks about what you need to do to contact Trace because now we're entering a phase where to bring people back into we have to start notifying the health department and working with the health department to say who's the contact for positive or the contact the case you may hear it called and who's just quit contacting somebody ends in it wasn't long enough to Simply in the third grade would we be to somebody who's a contacts to a contact to some clean examples of that you know it is dr. Connie and I sat in that for 15 minutes and we were authentic faith in NC test positive I would be a contact of a positive but if dr. Connie had dinner with somebody last week to turn up positive she'd to contacts and positive but I'm just the car have to apply to positive scenario dr. Connie might have to quarantine but I still keep working and there's going to be confusion from employees and families about this which is why we wanted you to know about it you make it phone call we don't understand why we're being told we have to quarantine we don't understand why we're not being told we have to coordinate it could go both ways because there's so much public perception and then there's what the rules are what the rules are okay I'm not going to go Kyla super deep with you cuz I don't think you have to know it's just if you want to we will have got things charged and ready to go to show you but the department has said how you have to manage photos we are so late when we tell you to and we quarantine when we when they tell us to but the school district has some obligation to partner with the health department to provide them the information necessary to make those determinations in an effective way and keep public so English font this is what we've come up with kind of a few pieces we've done more but this is the part I thought it would be helpful for you to say, of initially we're together we worked on Megan heart this is where we will screen employed as a replacement for have you checked your temperature today in 100.4 or greater and protocol for what to do when that happened you don't have some questions I have to answer the questions are detailed they are and we can't fix that that's a whole department say have you been doing in Fort in Black 14 days have you been someone who tested positive for covid-19 and you were in close contact with according to their definition me 10 minutes at 6 feet or less don't matter if I'm wearing a cloth mask or Not Dead matter so that's the definition and if they say yes to that then we ask another question which is was that close contact within 48 Hours of the time they took a nose swab and it has deposited or when they develop Stenson and if that you got can't let him in the building you have to quarantine them and they did yesterday it's long is 14 days and if it's a person in their house to Senza positive it could be much longer because the way we measure the start of their 14 days to click by is driven by when the person and their family gets well and it's other people are very long. The district has an unfunded mandate that the federal government shutdown and said you're going to pay the bill for this right but it has limit it's not the whole time they're home it's not the whole time we tell him I can't work and that's unfortunate because people are going to expect they're going to get my check because in March to May where they get right I got a check now in March today everybody was grappling with the virus we didn't know how it moves we didn't have goblins yet we didn't have a system but we had stated thing you have to educate you're going to be tested we got to get kids back in school and then at the same time they're saying you got a quarantine and isolate these people heard both and so we're just trying to help you guys navigate what that looks like in and of course it's going to upset some people questions about that before I kind of mood for it I just wanted to kind of tell you why we're bringing this up but then we have to ask him also do you have a sense of and here's where things get kind of comfortable being uncomfortable is a cough can be a symptom that if the employee says I'm I've developed a new cough and I don't know why y'all have to quarantine them you actually have to move them into ice so isolation means you send them home and they're not supposed to leave their house and that's not optional right unless any medical treatment now they're going to stay home and they have a cough sure I'm going to Target or I'm going to watch baseball or whatever I'm going to get supposed to be home and you can't believe that but if they've misrepresented it to you that you can discipline for it right in her an employee obviously we're not there and it's going to be uncomfortable the next one is the last person there is have you tested positive in those cases are EV right everyone knows when they got home and that's as clear cut window time because we know it's ten days at all on the 11th day you can return as long as your last day at home you were fever free without medication and you didn't you feel better you generally feel better but if you'd help a complication it would bring that out right when does The Great Clips in the pay is a one time drink bucket of Levi okay so here's how to think about it 10 days a year sick leave that's what you're going to get in 10 days on the front end of the year for sick days plus maybe two personal days it's what most District have and then this is an additional possible 10 days for 4 some people if they're not told Tom it's not a full 10 days because that wouldn't really be fair right if you don't work all the time you don't need as much time off if you get it as the person who works everyday said that that can kick in if they can we tell him to quarantine and isolate but only the first time because once they used their leaves they don't have it anymore they've got to use their existing sick days right and y'all are back and if it's been 20 days and it's been certified physician you got to have a permanent stuff with the right person case unless you get a waiver or whatever I think I'll be called away right apologize on another former Al's Formal term for the state you have to get for a 7:35 you get my address so I know how long do I get paid and there are some the general idea is for full-time people it's going to be up to 80 hours and if I go out with me I had a fever on and when you check my temperature and I say all that pain means I have strep throat got it to write strep throat fever I can go to the doctor and get the doctor to check me if I'm positive for strep throat and I'll bring you that explanation and I'm better with a round of antibiotics on the first day 24 hours I'm ready come back to work clear me out and bring me that it's not that late because it doesn't let your cousin anymore and then I still have a little time left if I didn't get cold later if I did have to quarantine later but the problem here is as you might imagine if I got court every time somebody tells me they had a contact of the positive they may be out a lot the other problem is based on them telling us the truth okay so when they realize that it's not funded many many times they may slow down on some of that but for a while and then when they'll figure out that this isn't like March to may you got something that you don't have to do not going to get paid all the time then it'll start flipping and you'll start having employees more than people are trying to work when they're not well Airport just as a thought that probably some good employee staff training would be a great way to help prevent someone just letting them know what this is all about. X number that you know we've got big stuff to look at with the hay face mask like it because yeah it's tested we got a lot to think about besides being out we've got to get the classroom if you can find them right there's a lot of issues there to your point about training me to help train the administrative the teeth on how this works and they can help with that I'm going to come back next Wednesday and train them and then I also have recorded a it's about 12 minutes edited down I think is where we're going to be started and is it it's the webinar basically where it's been 1/2 like how does work employee can look at a video where I teach them the ESC poster that says this is what this all means try to walk him through it, obviously they need a computer to do that but the paper poster can be the other option they can get the paper poster so we have kind of an education plan but I understand it and even if I did not like it talk about that right I think though it's helpful to say is when the train them on in the Afghan peace especially when someone feels like they're being slighted because they've been set alarm to quarantine but they don't have money to be paid anymore if they worked anywhere else besides a school 2012 job they wouldn't even have the FSA Raley's extra Lee think maybe only using their sick leave because it only applies to private employers under 500 Floyd but if they work at Target Kroger Walmart they don't get this but they still have to quarantine but it already getting more than what I'm paying for it even though you didn't have it your budget so it's already and increase this is going to be it's going to be hard to reframe it because we had more they're not even hesitation extraordinary times navigation to whatever boat. I do and that's I'm going to skip to that since we got into this a little deeper I do need to make you aware of some closures of school for k sure 7 action on some policy because this is all new Ram work so we asked about the family first coronavirus response at least and number one and then we looked at the current telework policy that we have and she's ready to just my two bring everything in life what the law requires we got it 3rd Harper presentation platform okay it is a picture of one of the rubrics Plaid the pictures like this one is for when you're on high Community spread there's one for modern and one for low you don't need to read all this but the point I'm trying to make with this product to tell you that you say you came to it looks at the contents the same as the different look now that they just did she get today but there will be a concept of clothing classroom hallway in a building and play District but the director of the commissioner of Department of Ed as well as the Department of Health and they said MB streamly rare that we be expecting close all the district so it's really something is being monitored on a small of a scale as possible so so don't be surprised if it works differently than the flu the blue sometimes you close the whole District just to clear it out and you know whatever they're not want to do that this way on the type of thing they're wanting instead and this is a shot if I put it in the fridge expecting you guys to maybe look at a classroom and try to narrow down the students who were within 60 and only send those students come and then if you have to pay you can't trace it only close one class and if you can't take that clothes when hallway and if you can't trade that then they because building as well as if you can't if you could trade but it is something that appears to be clustering where you got two or more link case is in a 14 day window building for 24 hours pay extra attention great question Great quest in German and they are on Department of Health letterhead it is ultimately the decision is going to be in conjunction with the local Health Department been on many calls with superintendents across the state Department of Health local officials were on the calls in different parts of state and I've heard of a variety of perspectives but one unifying comment that keeps coming up is that the health department will never tell you when to close but they're going to say it is rubric that it should have happened and that we have to try to follow the river it because it didn't we're not really funny that's trying really hard to get it right we didn't catch the people to Cluster cases in the 14 day window and we didn't close by the end of there could be some of that that happens if you all are contact Rangers but you're kind of have contact Tracy I'm going to try to sit down next Wednesday while I'm here I can redo the chief training I'm going to work with someone that's going to work directly at the point person with your local Health Department Communications on an ongoing basis in other districts to keep that conversation really really tight and only people you need to know it the medical information really tight gradually are moving into phase 2 and woodworking virtually and get all the Kinks worked out for play an outbreak or something and then we have to completely but we're promoting on that were also being proactive and fogging the classroom for teachers in there and every night and so we're working on that out cuz I've been in yeah you guys are in a great position in that perspective I'm happy to hear all of that since it's good response she just gave you some of it I also want to tell you a couple of forms that they're going to be trying to implement to standardizes the next guy you one of those health is a big burden and it's a script that when a case is a student or employed at someone who works with pool have to try to help getting information into one place to turn it over to the health department go there be a role in the school district will be doing that and then on the next five we've got there's also a spreadsheet where they will be entering he contact information and giving it over to them so that they can contact them family and say your kid paint your pocket come to school because of being a close contact right we won't be telling them to the close contact was because that suffer violation if it's an adult and Floyd the Privacy issue so we have to be careful what we say that the segment will be something to the effect of and this will be a common question you get people angry that they can't find out who is that a thing we are notifying those of you who have to quarantine because you were a close contact we are not notifying those of you who do not have to pay school district if they say much more than that that makes sense so this is one of the forms will be easier on a daily basis and then the next form is one that they will be using to help track whether that's one of those Greg. Holland's modern slavery is tracking all the things y'all are required to track to comply with that grid on this form and then that is kind of a discussion around quickly the contract and Caicos waiting for that I don't think you have to go deeper to understand kind of what the burden is big is a big list questions about that policy consideration this is about 3 topic were you under this when they're quick the first one is or they could be quick fscr a lie you ask me when did police start we met for that what we talked about our how much it paid and for what reason I never even won any time that you tell them they have to quarantine or isolate their eligible for a number one but they'll exhaust their up to 80 hours when I'm seeing how long it takes right and then if you have to tell him again it won't be paid anymore cuz it's only that one but there are other reasons examples that are outfit down the number four and five cuz those are going to come up a lot or is I'm taking care of somebody who has been in contact with a positive leading so maybe I myself haven't haven't gotten ill but I'm taking care of someone who is and I'm the only parent your elderly parent obligation to allow that person off of work under this law and pay them two-thirds of their eligible amount of pay which is the calculated amount up to $200 a day and up to $2,000 / 2 Tom and that's an unfunded burden that you guys have there's no money to pay for this unless there's a grant that comes later the fifth reason would be if I'm taking care of my child whose daycare or school is closed this is coming up a lot where people like right now when you're in online learning if you had a hypothetical central office staff member whose child is online learning because the building is closed they may qualify for Reason 5 while their student can't come to school and that's easily verifiable right for two-thirds of their eligible fun at 2 to hundred dollars per play up to $2,000 in a two week. That one is extra tricky because it can extend up to 12 weeks so it's not just that 80 hours in 12 weeks and you'll have to pay for it and then theoretically you could have paid for it out of cares money theoretically but you probably spend it all on Hotspot computers the one bringing the money on Spotify okay so I'm not going to belabor this point but I do want to make one word caveat if it's a part-time employee it's not a full 80 hours so don't don't think but I hate to pull two weeks pay that's not what's happening. this one is where we are going to help you guys prove that you gave to pay or you didn't cuz there's like a payroll type of triggers the payroll process we've also built the calculator and help them make sure the calculate the pay and give a statement to the employee and here's how much you're going to get paid for all of that process is worked out with us with you guys and then this is where I have some proposed salt now let me say this and I want Milwaukee Brewing but before you even start this discussion I want to make sure you understand I'm not taking a position that what you should or shouldn't pay for or what you could or could not pay for it I'm simply saying if we don't authorize this payment that it won't get paid what is the floor and there may be a step above the law that we want to do or could do and if you say we don't have the money I'm okay with that one but if you say yeah we need to pay that we would need to put something in your policies authorized the Comptroller's office won't like that payment because it will fail an audit it won't see where I'm going with that the first one is you could authorize payment is employed for more than one of those baby our siblings because you expect it might happen more than what it's going to cost a lot of money and it's uncontrollable so my suspicions even if I know we can do that. Alright the next one is the board could authorize payment of employee to Iran able to work as a result of a decision to close the classroom it had nothing to do with the employees subjectively sang I've got covid-19 oh somebody was covered with more about we told you to go home and you can't be in your classroom so we're going to pay that's trickier because you may let them employees he'll work as you pointed out you've proven that y'all can do it but starting online so it it may be that you don't want to do this one either but I pointed out to you to say when I'm playing at you close their class if you're not paying them because they already use their sick leave this was that moment of decision of whether you wear teachers are in the class kitchen Furniture right does everybody understand what I'm saying or do you have questions about the concept I was on a webinar with tspa today and they talked about the two called that we might want to look at it and I left my paperwork outside and I believe that those policies that they mention would help us address some of it so I will share the document from that women cuz I don't have the lights to the f f c r a when it comes to our extended paid leave and the address I believe that you all have passed the tsp eyes original policy that came out like a spring without like April yeah it's and that's great they've got an update I'm not aware of that but I can't really wait on that came out today and I've been okay since the next one is these are some other things that technically the law doesn't pay for but that I think you will want to an example is if you have School nurses the law says you don't have to pay to plead to your school nurses but that seems odd right I wanted to point it out because if you want to approve that leave for school doors or coordinated so well they need to be told to do it send employees may not simultaneously take both existing leave and fscr a that is a point of decision for you I'm not saying that I would hate for it or against it but you has an employee have discretion to cheese it so what that means is if they only get the two-thirds of your paycheck for reasons that we talked they could add on 1/3 and they can pull check by debiting your existing lead but what that does that that's after all and if you agree to it but if you don't agree to do it they can't ask for it is the end of the Epic you say that that's your decision they did and the keys from the Department of Labor in the regulations say that's your decision as an employer and my own cute is that it will create I think additional use of the leave because they don't have any discount for their paycheck they get to make a full check the other reason I think it will cause some issues with the administrative burden ensure that the leave account gets debited correctly and the Pea Memphis PR agency credited correctly because smcra has to be reported to and we be combining wages with something it doesn't go on the W-2 I just wanted to point that out if you don't want to do it we need to say that we're not going to do it even point an intermittent leave we have been District Intermittent Leave Me for the contest is if I'm not contagious if my reason for needing to be offices that I'm contagious is because I'm caregiving for my child then you might want to approve for me to work Tuesday Thursday and take my leave Monday Wednesday Friday I'm going to save you money and keep them in the classroom or in their job and they're not contagious it was just a child care problem maybe they're staring that roll over with an a family member who wants them when I didn't have to work so it's most employee School setting are wanting to approve intermittently but that's another decision y'all get to say yes or no to in the last week 1 been employed certified but they're unable to work you could say we don't want you to be able to withdraw that 34 Jason I know it's at 4 if it's that reason it's not related to contagious and this isn't totally all decisions but it can be used as a deterrent because if I know that I can't submit and take two days off and then come back in and pull my plane back then I might be willing to say I have a cough oh no it was nothing it was about allergies and get me a couple days here in the problem so some people have said that we're not going to let you reverse the decision unless it's pertaining to child care childcares one of those that you know doesn't your decision points on that policy for an Opti them obviously there may be something else that I'm unaware of it that the FBI has brought out that's one decision fmcra palsy the next one is Derek teleworking during a boat emergency closure shall pass the policy for teleworking but it was conceptually based on being closed and now you're you're going to be hella where do people win the composition and anytime we can tell somebody it will be what I call the Silver Bullet To Kill The FSB alright clean and we don't have to pay all that extra leave if we can all for them something they can do from home so they can extend the position allows it while they're in quarantine they could be working and you don't pay to leave but the policy needs to say that you can do that right now it only says you're paying them if it's closed let me guess a small change if you don't like my language doesn't matter I'm not a board attorney go with something else if it's better I don't I don't have a preference I'm just trying to stay fix the problem and then finally is the concept of critical infrastructure and I'm not going to spend a lot of time on that but we do expect it potentially now that the legislature has has spinach yesterday that potentially there's some discussion that the governor May approve pool to be what's called critical infrastructure and can you want to ask why that matters I'm just saying they are but they aren't able to use it right the governor's office in the department of health is its backing it up but they may back it up and y'all could go ahead and approve something to be ready for that day so that you can take advantage of it that's what's so here's the question happens when I come in and I'm saying to you I hung out with Doctor Connie and dr. Connie tested positive do I get to go home right now you have to say yes you must go, you must quarantine for 14 days and if you don't come back to work but Ender critical infrastructure if we slide forward we don't do this normal flow chart with get to a new flow chart concept which is the next slide and it's basically we are in government Angela T we are in sector called education the Homeland Security Department of the United States and said we're critical you have to adopt it if you wanted actually follow it left the decision point and then what happened this instead of sending me home did the Tampa language often look at that later if you want to I'm at work what do you want to avoid fun instead send them back to go home but until then I'm not asking her up I'm regularly being monitored by the nurse taking my temperature more frequently maybe checking on me throughout the day I'm disinfecting and cleaning my work spaces like as soon as I walked away from her most people are doing that anyway right thing as much as possible is not mingling that person with anyone else but enables you to work people longer we have a number of districts in our state have already approved there's waiting on the governor to packet if we go back one quad I want to show you a way to do this that you could keep it on your book but it not be particular to Coban you can pass it now and say we are we are critical infrastructure if ever we made it and then if we decide the governor, if you hear the governor's going to back it we would just create a little procedure for dr. Connie dr. Watkins to follow that shows all the things I just said you in the TV is that what you do instead and it would be the procedure you follow while the policy was in a set of related to coat it and then if it has another one it's quite something happened you know two years from now. still be on the book I keep Fisher office working or whoever and it would Evan flow with whatever crisis happened without you having to do it again but that's the concept thank you for your patient stop watching TV accessories for corrected burgundy remind me to buy milk today thank you brother tonight you can talk to her we can't see. perception so it'll be any question but that are you dumb Afghanistan Kabul I think everybody got at their place is Fayette County school board retreat I need to brag just a tad bit this is a great coup this is first time counties ever done their own Retreat and been able to pass it through the state and you will all mail receive your 7.0 a credit for this year by attending by chilling death so really going to be outside we have lots of comments from our team for people who haven't been able to come to me during the middle of the Year especially those who couldn't come during the day we're going to go in a lot of that information is the fall District meeting providing you is up September 28th it is at Lakeland this year okay I'll notify you that as soon as I get it is still the 28th I'm sorry to be there at 4:30 in the afternoon. start till 5 so in that way it's not a huge difference usually it keeps it within an hour of distance driving time so please please try to send it to you I say I say in the back of the room I would say able to get friends the award that was the board won this last fall with what's the Barbara ball award and by the Chamber of Commerce fall banquet we have forgotten an award at the Ford before and to get to Barbra walls Award with the really a big deal so I had the platter from Jack dr.
