Harrison County committee cancels Jan. 10 workshop with CPS leader, schedules school meeting for March 21
Summary
The committee voted to cancel a Jan. 10 workshop with Andrea Sanders and offered her alternate third-Friday dates; the group also set a March 21 meeting with local school staff at the Harrison County Advocacy Center for 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The Harrison County child-welfare committee voted to cancel a planned Jan. 10 workshop with Andrea Sanders and to invite her to attend on an alternate date, preferring third-Friday meetings where possible. Committee members said multiple members had scheduling conflicts on Jan. 10 and they wanted broader attendance for the session with Sanders, who was described in the meeting as a leader at CPS.
Committee members moved and seconded a motion to cancel the Jan. 10 workshop and offer Sanders alternate dates. A voice vote was taken and the chair said, “Motion carried.” The committee also confirmed plans for a schools-focused meeting on March 21 at the Harrison County Advocacy Center, 47 Maples Drive, to run 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; the committee said it would provide lunch for attendees.
Why it matters: Committee members said they wanted high attendance for the workshop with Sanders because of the topic’s relevance to CPS operations and school coordination. The March 21 meeting is intended to bring school staff together to discuss child-welfare concerns and to hear from front-line school personnel.
During the meeting Dr. Jackie Graves of Harrison County Schools agreed to coordinate school staff attendance once the committee provides a confirmed time. Committee members discussed avoiding school breaks (Mardi Gras and spring break) when setting dates; they settled on March 21 to align with the committee’s blue-ribbon activities.
Votes at a glance: the committee recorded voice votes approving acceptance of the Nov. 15 meeting minutes and approving the cancellation of the Jan. 10 workshop and scheduling of alternate dates for Sanders. The meeting concluded with a voice vote to adjourn.
Ending: Committee members asked staff to notify Sanders and to ensure Carla and other absent members receive scheduling notices; they said they will follow up by phone and email to coordinate attendance.
