The federal government is providing these resources through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity (ELC) Reopening Schools award. Funds will be used to support contracted public health nurses as school health liaisons for the coordination of COVID-19 screening, testing, and vaccine administration efforts, and to coordinate other school health/public health services through May 31, 2022. Needed office supplies, cell phones, computer equipment and travel are covered fully by this funding. No new positions are being requested and no county match is required. BA 22-009 budgets funds received from New Hanover County Schools. These funds will come from COVID-19 funds that New Hanover County Schools have received. The funds will be used for the provision of a school health nurse in every New Hanover County public school, as well as, an additional school nurse supervisor. This will provide medical services to Lake Forest Academy, Wilmington Early College High School (WECHS), Southeast Area Technical High School (SEA -Tech), Isaac Bear Early College High School (IBECHS), and JC Roe Center, as well as, an additional nurse to help cover Emsley A. Laney High School due to its large student census. Creation of these positions continues the previously established Board of County Commissioners' directive of having a nursing presence in every New Hanover County public school. The added supervisor position will in turn help manage 46 public health nurses placed in school settings. Additionally, these nursing services help to ensure appropriate preparation and response to community health crises, such as COVID-19, that continues to impact the area. Provision of such services promotes an environment in which students are healthy and ready to learn. These funds fully cover the direct expenditures associated with these positions and service provisions and would increase our FTEs by 7 positions.

This incentive is to assist Project Manage in creating 104 new jobs over five years with an average salary of at least $80,000. Is there a motion to open the public hearing? The Board will now hear public comments. Hear comments, if any. I will now close the public hearing.

Board of Commissioners - September 20, 2021 ITEM: 10- 3 - 16 No Applicant's Employer New Hanover County Schools Occupation Assistant Principal - International School at Gregory Professional Activities Professionally, I have served as an educator and administrator in New Hanover County Schools since arriving in Wilmington in 2006 from Louisville, Kentucky. My background in education is focused on global education and second -language acquisition. I seek ways to be engaged with area youth and families, especially in the realm of enrichment opportunities. Volunteer Activities I am a Rotarian with the Cape Fear Wilmington Rotary, where I serve as the Community Service Chair, Vice President, RYLA lead, and the district 7730 Rotary International Youth Exchange Program Chair. I have participated in Sister Cities events, as well as served on the board of the Coastal Carolina United Nations Association for several years. I have also been serving on the Resiliency Task Force's Subcommittee for 4-12 Education since inception. From this, I wrote and received a grant for our school to participate in an area trauma -sensitive schools pilot. Why do you wish to serve on this board or committee? After living in New Hanover County and working with a number of community organizations and stakeholders for over 13 years, I am interested in becoming more involved in the respective visions for Wilmington and New Hanover County to assist in their continued development as vibrant, innovative, equitable homes for our citizens. I am not nor do I intend to become a property owner outside of my personal residence, and, therefore, have no ulterior financial or political motives for wishing to participate on this committee. What areas of concern would you like to see addressed by this committee? The issues of discrimination and social disenfranchisement specifically around housing, education, and employment are key areas of concern for me.

Qualifications for serving: In my years as an employee of New Hanover County Schools, I have assisted families and students in navigating many issues, including those surrounding discrimination and implicit bias. My first position in the district was as an English as a Second Language teacher, which often focused on advocacy and resource allocation both in and out of school for our stakeholders. In my role as a school administrator (elementary, middle, and high school levels), I have worked to maintain clear lines of effective communication on aid and resources with families, so that the school community may be inclusive and a source of information and assistance for them. My roles have included serving some of the most diverse student bodies within New Hanover County Schools, which has exposed me to the areas of need in our region. Every day, I work to provide equal and equitable opportunities for all children in our schools, and look to collaborate with area organizations to ensure that we can do so effectively.
