Several years ago, my husband planted two Bur Oak trees in our yard. When these trees starting bearing acorns, I was elated because I’d never seen such magnificent acorns! Due to their large size and hairy caps, they’re the perfect accent for my autumn decorating. While gathering acorns a few days ago, I discovered that the deer had been brazen enough to come into the yard, eat MY acorns, and poop while they were at it. There were tons of broken and empty caps! Acorns in perfect condition are beautiful and useful, but most of what I found were damaged and useless. I put the debris in a bucket and threw it away.
I think there’s a lot of acorn people out there. Some are sinners with empty and broken lives, and some are believers who have gotten sidetracked and lost their way. There’s a fix for both of these categories. The sinner is to accept John 3:16, and the sidetracked is to act on Hebrews 4:16 NLT: “So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” You can’t be too big a mess for God because in His eyes there’s no such thing as “good for nothing.” When God touches your life (as a sinner or believer) you’re good for something.
When a believer realizes he’s not living up to the standards of Jesus’ teachings, he can simply go to the heavenly Father, repent, accept His forgiveness, and keep truckin’. God is loving and patient, kind and caring. He isn’t willing that any should perish (spiritually). There’s no benefit in thinking you need to punish yourself for your waywardness. Jesus died on the cross for you, and that’s enough. It’s ridiculous to think you need to add something to what Jesus accomplished for you. Get up, get going, and get over it. Accept God’s grace and then help someone else find their way to the Throne.
For many years, Jimmy and I have shared the gospel song, “He Didn’t Throw the Clay Away” written by our friend Gene Reasoner. “Empty and broken I came back to Him; a vessel unworthy, so scarred with sin. But He did not despair, He started over again. And I bless the day He didn’t throw the clay away. He is the Potter and I am the clay; molded in His image, He wants me to stay. But when I stumble and fall and my vessel breaks, He just picks up all the pieces; He doesn’t throw the clay away. Over and over He molds me and makes me; into His likeness He fashions the clay. A vessel of honor I am today all because Jesus didn’t throw the clay away. ”
The way of the Cross of Christ is hope. If you’ve failed, don’t throw in the towel — it’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings. As long as you’re breathing, there’s hope. I believe and rely on the truth of this scripture: “My dear children, I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ, the one who is truly righteous. He Himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins — and not only our sins but the sins of the world” (1 John 2:1,2 NLT).
The Key: Don’t be bashful; be like the deer and go boldly to your heavenly Father and receive what you need.
Due to some misinformation shared both in this morning’s Fort Scott Tribune (October 17th, 2020 Edition) and at the Fort Scott Chamber Candidate Forum on Thursday night, misinformation that could discourage voters from participating in the upcoming general election,
I wanted to reach out and share some facts that have been omitted by both the Tribune and the Bourbon County Clerk. Unfortunately it appears that was started as a fun, outside of the box, and locally manufactured (by Ward-Kraft) way to make it easier for voters to participate in a write-in campaign has been weaponized as a political issue, one particularly aimed at instilling fear in our senior voters, early voters, and mail-in voters.
On September 23rd, I received an e-mail from our County Clerk stating that she was being told that I was running a write-in campaign and was planning to use ballot stickers. She implied that ballot stickers have caused damage to election equipment in past Bourbon County elections (which she repeated at the Chamber Candidate Forum this past Thursday night, along with estimated dollar amounts she feared taxpayers would have to pay due to this destruction). This is false according to every Bourbon County employee and elected official I have talked to, including past Bourbon County election officers. My campaign is in fact the first write-in campaign to ever use ballot stickers in Bourbon County as far as anyone is aware. Despite this fact, the County Clerk asserted that this had happened in the past, and that “I am sure you would not want to be responsible for damaging our voting equipment.”
I responded to the County Clerk’s e-mail that afternoon, stating that I had spoken at length with the Assistant General Counsel of the Secretary of State’s office on September 3rd via e-mail, and had confirmed that ballot stickers were 100% legal to use in Bourbon County, and that any ordinance regarding ballot stickers would need to be voted on by the Bourbon County Commission. I assured the County Clerk that the last thing I wanted to do was cause problems during this election, and offered to provide some stickers so that we could test them on sample ballots (ballots at our polling locations are run through one at a time, so this would be a pretty easy test to pull off), and offered to provide measurements of a sample ballot with a sticker on it so that we could make sure that it didn’t exceed the paper thickness and weight threshold of the ballot scanning machines. I never received a response to that e-mail.
On a side note, in that e-mail exchange on September 3rd, the Secretary of State’s office also mentioned to me that the Bourbon County elections office had reached out to them about how to prohibit ballot stickers in Bourbon County. I thought the timing of that (I had just announced my sticker-in/write-in campaign on August 17th) was…interesting.
After getting no response from the County Clerk, I assumed that the issue had been put to rest, but then on Friday, October 9th, an alarming post was made on the Bourbon County Republican Facebook group. That post, from a lifelong Bourbon County resident who was genuinely well-meaning and alarmed, stated “Nick Graham is having labels printed and mailing out to be affixed to the ballot. The labels might cause the equipment to jam creating a problem. If your ballot is ripped it will not be counted. I talked to the county clerk’s office.”
After assuring this person that they had nothing to worry about, and that any ballot that was damaged for any reason whatsoever would have to be replaced per state law (and again, ballots are fed in one at a time), he was very apologetic, deleted his original post, and put this one in its place: “I apologize if I have offended Nick Graham with my post earlier. I was asked about the sticker earlier and said I would find out and let them know. My earlier post was what I was told by the clerk’s office.”
This prompted me to make an appearance at the October 13th County Commission meeting to seek the input of the Commission, as they have final authority when it comes to the use of ballot stickers. I went over the timeline of e-mails and events that I just shared with you (including the e-mails themselves), gave the Commissioners some ballot stickers so they could see if they had any concerns, and they did not. For reasons I’m not sure of, the following day’s issue of the Fort Scott Tribune covered the events of that County Commission meeting, except for my appearance, even though it had been placed on the agenda by unanimous vote prior to me speaking.
Again, I thought the issue was settled, but then this past Thursday night at the Chamber Candidate Forum, in her closing statement, the County Clerk chose to state that using my ballot stickers could cost Bourbon County taxpayers between $60,000 and $100,000 in damaged election equipment, despite the fact that I had established on the public record that the County Commission unanimously had no problems with me using them.
I’m writing this letter to set the record straight, and to ask folks to please let their friends and loved ones know (especially they are senior, early, or mail-in voters) that if they want to cast a vote for me but are concerned about the stickers, all they have to do is write “Nick” and circle the oval on the Write-In section of the County Clerk portion of the ballot, AND that our ballot stickers are safe to use and locally manufactured by Ward-Kraft, who knows a thing or two about labels and stickers. Neither Ward-Kraft or myself would have gone to the trouble (and my expense) to mail out over six thousand ballot stickers if we felt there was a risk of damage to election equipment.
If you’d like to read my e-mail exchanges with both the Secretary of State’s office and the Bourbon County Clerk, or the Kansas Elections Handbook section on Ballot Stickers, they’re public record, and I’ve made them available for reading here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1smuOWfNOM0PU6Ry4V5OluCpjm6UxwAD3?usp=sharingIf you’d like to see my discussion with the County Commission on October 13th, or see the County Clerk portion of the Chamber Candidate Forum this past Thursday, you can view them both here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsHWUbRAnx9djzLS2nzZ3vA

As October 31st approaches, many families are thinking about Halloween plans and wondering how to celebrate safely this year. In the times of COVID-19, one could argue that Halloween is the most pandemic friendly holiday. Whether you choose to be a ghost, goblin, or ghoul, many creative and fun costumes include masks or one can be incorporated easily.
Many traditions practiced on this holiday are perfectly acceptable and safe to do during the time of a pandemic. Pumpkin carving and scary movie marathons are both activities that can be done from the comfort of your own home with those in your household. If you have loved ones over the age of 65 or at high risk for getting sick, consider setting up virtual options such, such as Zoom, so your loved ones don’t miss out on the celebration.
Just like any other year, there are things to keep in mind when planning for a safe trick-or-treating experience:
Add reflective tape to costumes, have kids carry glow sticks, or encourage them to carry a flashlight after dark so they are visible to cars
Address the importance of staying on sidewalks and looking both ways before crossing streets
Encourage kids to eat healthy meals as normal before the trick-or-treating fun begins, this will help reduce the urge to gorge out on those tasty sweet treats
Never let a child go door to door alone
Remind them to visit houses with exterior lights on, stay at the doorway to accept treats, and never enter the house unless it is a family member or family friend they are visiting
This time of year should be enjoyable for all ages of people. Be sure to follow your community guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19. By preparing yourself and your youth for what to expect, you can create a more enjoyable time for yourself and your loved ones. Enjoy this opportunity to rewind back to a “more normal” holiday with your family and friends! Happy Halloween, 2020 style!

Home has never been more important. Our homes have always provided shelter, but in the midst of the COVID pandemic, home has become so much more. Home is where we receive our health care, educate our children, conduct business, and connect virtually for worship services, community meetings, and social gatherings.
The economic impact of the pandemic has left many Kansans unemployed or underemployed, uncertain how they will pay rent. While moratoriums provide temporary protection from eviction, rent continues to accrue each month, leaving tenants unsure how they will pay arrears, and leaving landlords without monthly income to pay bills and manage maintenance and upkeep.
Kansas Housing Resources Corporation (KHRC) has worked closely with the Kelly administration, the Office of Recovery, and the Department of Children and Families to create the Kansas Eviction Prevention Program (KEPP). KEPP is designed to decrease evictions and increase housing stability by assisting landlords and tenants experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID pandemic.
Through the KEPP program, landlords and tenants apply for up to $5000 per household to pay delinquent rental payments dating as far back as April 1, 2020. Payments will be made directly to the landlord, who must agree not to evict the household for nonpayment of rent for the months of KEPP assistance received. Landlords must also agree to waive any late fees accrued during the months for which assistance is received.

Minutes of the Board of Trustees Training
September 21, 2020
PRESENT: John Bartelsmeyer, Jim Fewins, Dave Elliott, Kirk Hart, Bill Meyer, and Robert Nelson
ALSO PRESENT: Alysia Johnston, President, Juley McDaniel, Board Clerk, faculty, staff, and community
members.
Chairman Bartelsmeyer called the meeting to order at 5:33 pm. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of
Allegiance.
COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR: Chairman Bartelsmeyer read the following statement:
As your FSCC College Board of Trustees, we are committed to the College’s Core Values, which include providing
opportunities in a supportive, safe environment, and a focus on relationships and experiences that value students,
community, and employees while fostering an inclusive and diverse environment.
The actions of those who tried to intimidate FSCC students by driving through the residential area of campus with
lights, flashing lights, and honking horns at midnight, September 12, is NOT reflective of this community. It is the
unfortunate act of a very small group of people who do not understand the importance of diversity, equity, and
inclusion in the cultural and financial success of our college and community.
We are very fortunate at FSCC to have a supportive community. The success of FSCC is founded on the financial
and expressive support given to our students and the College by our community. The tax payers of Bourbon County
contribute approximately 3 million dollars in mill levied revenue to FSCC annually. We believe our success is the
community’s success, and with an approximately 14.5 million dollar budget, the college has a large economic
impact on the community and is a good return on the 3 million dollar investment of tax dollars.
We are working with local law enforcement to ensure individuals whose intent is to disrupt and incite fear in our
campus community will not be tolerated.
CONSENT AGENDA: A motion was made by Hart, seconded by Nelson, and carried by unanimous vote to
approve the consent agenda.
ACTION/DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. A motion was made by Meyer, seconded by Fewins, and carried by unanimous vote to approve the nursing

B. A motion was made by Elliott, seconded by Fewins, and carried by unanimous vote to approve digital
marketing bid from Trajectory Consulting and Midwestern for $20,240.00.
C. A motion was made by Fewins, seconded by Nelson, and carried by unanimous vote to approve the
disposal of the SawStop table saw and make it available for purchase by St. Martin’s Academy.
D. A motion was made by Elliott, seconded by Hart, and carried by unanimous vote to approve the three
revised academic calendars for CTEC and Pittsburg Cosmetology, Miami County Campus, and the

E. A motion was made by Fewins, seconded by Meyer, and carried by unanimous vote to approve the quote
from Logisoft for the Microsoft license renewal for $20,850.48.

ACTION/DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. CONSIDERATION OF TRIO LAPTOP BIDS
BACKGROUND: The TRIO Student Support Services program is proposing a one-time purchase of 15
laptop/tablet combinations with software to help meet the technology needs of students while at Fort
Scott Community College. During the COVID pandemic, many TRIO students enter and exit quarantine,
or FSCC may return to a completely online format at some time during the semester. TRIO students
have the most to lose during these difficult times, as it is already a challenge to be a college student
when they are either first generation, low-income, or have a disability.
To ease the burden, TRIO will have technology available to students in order to complete their
coursework.
Bids were requested of 3 vendors on August 12, 2020, then closed on August 26, 2020.

Lenovo Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga $18,800.00

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Board approve the purchase of TRIO
student laptops from Lenovo laptops for $18,800.

Miami County Campus of Fort Scott Community College – September/October Report
I attended the Deans and Director’s meeting on September 17th via ZOOM.
The Phi Theta Kappa students have been meeting regularly to discuss events, activities, and scholarships. There are
several PTK events that are coming up, as well as community and college activities to get all students involved.
One of the PTK officers is taking part in getting a local disc golf course put into place at the county lake. She is looking
for volunteers to be part of that committee.
The officers are also helping with a college projects to help keep students motivated and connected to the college. One
of these projects includes a weekly drawing. In addition to the help from Kassie with student activities, the students
have found sponsors to donate additional items to include in the drawing. To date, we have had over 20 students
receive prizes from these sponsorships. Each student has also provided a hand-written thank-you note to each sponsor
to express their gratitude.
The students are planning for a costume contest and pumpkin decorating/carving contest this month as well.
The PTK fall Conference was October 8-10th via Zoom.
Since the spring schedule has opened, I have been talking with students and helping them enroll for spring.
The student ambassadors have been providing tours of the college, to perspective students.
I have been working with Voc-Rehab to add some new students to the welding program, this semester.
I have been contacted by the Medical Reserve Corps of Greater Kansas City to help them with a grant they wrote to help
with Emergency Disaster planning in our community.
I attended a Q&A COVID session with the Department of Economics.
I attended an EKAN COVID webinar on the Miami County SPARKS application for assistance.
Kabria Davies (Welding Instructor) had a booth at the Louisburg High School Holiday Mart to help inform the community
of the Welding Program at the Miami County. Campus of FSCC. Her students made several holiday yard ornaments to
sell at the event to help raise money for the welding program. The yard art was such a hit, she sold out and is now filling
order requests. Students are also making items, to donate to Prairie Paws, for their annual fund raising event at the
animal shelter. Kabria has plans to continue special events and activities to help students with their welding skills and
provide visual marketing opportunities (samples of student work) to the community, by FSCC students.
Vickie Laderer, Allied Health Director is holding clinical rotations (labs) and helping all the C.N.A. students meet their
credential requirements to be eligible to test for their state exam. These students are coming to the Miami County
Campus from multiple areas within our service area and from multiple classes (including online). This has been quite a
maneuver, but Vickie has done a great job getting everyone through this.
The Miami County Sheriff’s department visited with the Criminal Justice students, brought them some gifts from the
sheriff’s office as well as talked with the students about careers in law enforcement. The Sheriff’s office also provided
the Report Writing class with additional materials, used in the field, to help enhance their learning in the classroom. Our
new Criminal Justice instructors, Trisha Bruders and Steve Mailand have been a great addition to the Miami County
Campus, this year.
Nolanda administered 3 state C.N.A. test exams for FSCC students.
Sargent Sheet, from the Army National Guard is scheduled to visit with the students next week.

Advising
Spring Enrollment is open and the advising office is busy meeting with students to evaluate their degree
audits and enroll for Fall Intersession and Spring 21 semester classes. An earlier than usual opening of
enrollment this semester gives students an opportunity to enroll prior to the Thanksgiving holiday and
their departure from campus for winter break.
Each day the Advisors receive Early Alert notices from instructors. This information can include grades,
attendance, and instructor notes. An Advisor contacts each student receiving an Alert, to provide guidance
and offer assistance in order to resolve the identified situation. Advisors document all of these contacts in
both the students Campus Connect account and in the Advising office student file.
As the semester passes the half way point, Advising is also busy assisting students asking to withdraw
from a class or classes. The final day students can withdraw from a class or classes is Nov. 6th.

MEP-Jennifer Quick
The 2 consortium-incentive-grants (cigs) FSCC manages (fiscal agent) were re-awarded by the Office of
Migrant Education (OME within the Dept. of Education in DC) in September. Normally, they are
awarded in the spring/summer of the cycle year, but due to the pandemic, the deadlines were extended.
1. The out-of-school youth cig ‘GOSOSY’ just ended a 5 year cycle and was re-awarded with KS
again as the lead state. Tracie Kalic, FSCC staff is again the director.
The new cig name is ‘iSOSY’ and is the acronym for Instructional Services for Out-of-School
and Secondary Youth. Eighteen (18) states will pay $17,500 for the year 1 state dues for a total
budget of $315,000.
$25,200 is the 8% FSCC admin. allowance.

HEP-Jenna Russell
Since last month’s update, Tri-State HEP (High School Equivalency Program) staff have been working on
several items. First and foremost, we’ve been finalizing the Annual Performance Report (APR) that is due
to Department of Education Office of Migrant Education on October 30th, 2020. Also, we have been
diligently writing and editing our new grant proposal that will be due in January 2021.
Events during the last month: As mentioned previously, the Annual Directors Meeting was September 14-
16, hosted virtually. We were able to gain a lot of clarification about using our grant funds on situations
caused by the pandemic. It was also nice to have a support group of people who are having the same
issues that we are, so that we could give each other tips and support. On September 16th and 17th we had a
69
motivational speaker from CoolSpeak engage with our students live, online. This event went very well,
and our students really appreciated hearing from someone they could relate to who pushed them to keep
moving forward with their education.
Upcoming Events in the next month:Our next conference will be the HEP/CAMP annual conference,
hosted virtually on November 9,10,12. We look forward to hearing from other HEP programs about their
online systems and new stipends that they are utilizing. Another conference opportunity that we are
excited about is hearing who was chosen for the “Student Champion Award.” We nominated one of our
students, Flor Cortes, for this award. If she is chosen, she will win $500 plus she will tell her story live,
during the conference. We have attached her nomination essay that was written by her HEP instructor,
Claudia Horney, and submitted by HEP director, Jena Russell.
Flor Cortes was born and raised in Mexico. As a daughter of Mexican parents who were in need of
providing better opportunities for their family, they had to immigrate to United States almost 2 ½ years ago. Being
in a country with a different language, culture, different “everything,” she realized how hard it was going to be to
pursue her dreams. Flor was born with a physical disability on the left side of her body, however, she has learned to
accept it and not to let this identify her. Flor’s father worked in the fields, doing seasonal jobs and traveling back
and forth to Mexico to try to stay close to his children. He never stopped making sacrifices for his family. Both her
parents had tough jobs, and they motivated Flor to enroll in school, get her GED, and improve her life so their
sacrifice would be worth it. At age 21, Flor enrolled and qualified for the HEP program. Flor was determined to
achieve the 1st of her many dreams. With no car and no driver’s license, she had lots of friends and classmates that
admired her dedication. They were always willing to give her a ride, and other friends taught her how to use public
transportation. Even her instructors were taking her places when needed. With Flor’s disability, it was clear that she
would need special accommodations for GED testing. All efforts were made to try obtain the necessary paperwork,
but unfortunately, the lack of resources and lack of medical insurance complicated the situation. Flor was not shy
about her physical condition and decided to try to test with no accommodations. Flor once said, “It was impressive
how with one hand, I was able to type the essay for my RLA test.” Flor had only 1 test left when the pandemic hit
the U.S. and shut her school down. She continued to study at home, but in April of 2020 her father tested positive
for COVID-19. The virus, combined with other health conditions, caused his sudden death. During the same month,
Flor and her mother also tested positive for the virus. She was unable to take her last test and unable to make
arrangements to transport her father back to Mexico to be buried where he had hoped. These tragic incidents only
stopped Flor for a moment, but she gained the strength to keep moving forward. When her testing center reopened
in June, she came back to take her last test and passed on her first attempt. Flor did it! She is a mighty warrior! She
immediately enrolled in ESL classes, and then obtained a job at McDonalds where she was quickly promoted to be
on the front line. Her dream is to continue learning English, enroll in college, save money to take her father’s ashes
back to Mexico, and find a better job working with kids. Flor told us, “I want to teach. I think I can be a good
teacher.” What she does not know is that with her example of dedication and how she has overcome many
obstacles she is already teaching many people. Flor believes that her dad is proud of her achievements, and we
wholeheartedly agree.
As the hope for a brighter future for these students, we will continue providing instruction and support
services to our migrant youth and adults at 6 different locations across Kansas, Oklahoma, and
Arkansas. Thank you for your support!

October Board Report
Alysia Johnston – President
I want to thank our students, faculty, staff, and community for their continued efforts to help mitigate
the Coronavirus pandemic. To ensure we continue with on-ground classes and activities, we are trying
to set the best example possible for students and educate them on how important it is to follow the
mitigation guidelines we established, which includes wearing masks and social distancing while on
campus.
We established a working group to lead campus wide efforts in preparing for the possibility a member of
our campus community is diagnosed with COVID-19 or deemed a person under investigation (PUI) for
coronavirus. A dashboard with current confirmed positive cases of COVID-19, number of students in
quarantine, and total number of recovered cases can be found on our website at: www.fortscott.edu
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Force
Michael Cook and Tom Havron are co-chairing our recently established Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
(DEI) task force. The task force includes representatives from faculty, students, staff, administration, and
local law enforcement. Below is the agenda/information addressed at the first meeting in August.
Michael is developing a draft “campus climate survey” which the task force will approve/modify before
being distributed.
Diversity is the presence of differences that may include race, gender, religion, sexual orientation,
ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, language, (dis)ability, age, religious commitment, or
political perspective. Populations that have been-and remain- underrepresented among practitioners in
the field and marginalized in the broader society.
Equity is promoting justice, impartiality and fairness within the procedures, processes, and distribution
of resources by institutions or systems. Tackling equity issues requires an understanding of the root
causes of outcome disparities within our society.
73
Inclusion is an outcome to ensure those that are diverse actually feel and/or are welcomed. Inclusion
outcomes are met when you, your institution, and your program are truly inviting to all. To the degree
to which diverse individuals are able to participate fully in the decision-making processes and
development opportunities within an organization or group.
DEI Task Force Charge:
• Identify the needs of underrepresented members of our campus community and make
recommendations for initiatives that will be ongoing with a clear intention to affect permanent
cultural change on matters of diversity, equity and inclusion
o IPEDS report
o Survey
o DEI Focused Events/Activities – Examples
Listening Sessions
Bias Education Team
General Education Curriculum

diverse, equitable and inclusive institution, please use the form linked below to provide
feedback and share your experiences and perspectives.
o Survey
• Review existing diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives throughout campus, including

Mission statement
Fort Scott Community College is an institution of higher learning with a long history of culture and
diversity that provides affordable academic, technical, and occupational programs to meet student
needs while fostering a mutually supportive relationship between the college and its communities.
Core Values:
Personal success and growth: Empower students, community, and employees to attain their goals by
providing opportunities in a supportive, safe environment.
Integrity and Respect: A focus on communication, relationships and experiences that value students,
community, and employees; fostering a safe environment for all.
Diversity and Inclusion: Operate as one college in purpose, plans, priorities, and processes.
Stewardship: The careful, transparent, and responsible management of all resources under our care,
including monetary, physical, and human resources
Vision:
FSCC’s vision for the future is to support “Students First, Community Always” through a central focus on
teaching and learning; advancing strong, innovative programs and departments; maximizing and
leveraging opportunities; initiating efficient and effective processes; and developing the region’s
workforce.
Strategic Plan: (no strategy or goal linked directly to DEI)
• Commit to continuous improvement.
o Be willing to learn, accept feedback, and listen to the concerns of those around you.
Even the most enlightened individual can find opportunities for growth.
• Communicate and educate.
o Diversity work is a journey, not a destination. It takes time, patience, and perseverance.
Be tolerant of coworkers who do not yet appreciate the value of diversity or who may
not always behave respectfully. Often, negative behavior comes from ignorance rather
than malice. A willingness to educate can go a long way.
Enrollment
The fall preliminary numbers sent to KBOR was 15,444 credit hours, compared to 18,359 one year ago, a
decrease of enrollment of 15.9%. Fall preliminary only lets us include rosters which are certified. Last
year, the number of credit hours not certified at the time of the report were 1,177 (which were primarily
late start courses). This year, the number of credit hours not certified is 2,624 (which include late start
and concurrent classes through late start districts like USD 234). Once those numbers are added in, the
2019 total is 19,536 and the total this year is 18,068. This is a decrease in enrollment of 7.5%.
Virtual Tour
Below is the link to our new virtual tour. Stakeholders can now “tour” our campus and many programs
without having to travel here.
Clayton Whitson was gracious enough to do the voice over for us.

Minutes of the Board of Trustees Training
September 21, 2020
PRESENT: John Bartelsmeyer, Jim Fewins, Dave Elliott, Kirk Hart, Bill Meyer, and Robert Nelson
ALSO PRESENT: Alysia Johnston, President, Juley McDaniel, Board Clerk, faculty, staff, and community members.
Chairman Bartelsmeyer called the meeting to order at 5:33 pm. The meeting was opened with the Pledge of
Allegiance.
COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR: Chairman Bartelsmeyer read the following statement:
As your FSCC College Board of Trustees, we are committed to the College’s Core Values, which include providing
opportunities in a supportive, safe environment, and a focus on relationships and experiences that value students,
community, and employees while fostering an inclusive and diverse environment.
The actions of those who tried to intimidate FSCC students by driving through the residential area of campus with lights, flashing lights, and honking horns at midnight, September 12, is NOT reflective of this community. It is the unfortunate act of a very small group of people who do not understand the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the cultural and financial success of our college and community.
We are very fortunate at FSCC to have a supportive community. The success of FSCC is founded on the financial and expressive support given to our students and the College by our community. The tax payers of Bourbon County contribute approximately 3 million dollars in mill levied revenue to FSCC annually. We believe our success is the community’s success, and with an approximately 14.5 million dollar budget, the college has a large economic
impact on the community and is a good return on the 3 million dollar investment of tax dollars.
We are working with local law enforcement to ensure individuals whose intent is to disrupt and incite fear in our campus community will not be tolerated.
CONSENT AGENDA: A motion was made by Hart, seconded by Nelson, and carried by unanimous vote to
approve the consent agenda.
ACTION/DISCUSSION ITEMS:
A. A motion was made by Meyer, seconded by Fewins, and carried by unanimous vote to approve the nursing simulator quote from Gaumard for $31,643.25.

Chairman Clerk
A Fort Scott Middle/High School Choral Music Teacher vacancy was not replaced by the USD 234 Board of Education this summer.
“Abby Helt, the choir teacher that was hired to replace Emily Elliott, withdrew in July, and there was not another teacher hired,” said Mary Jo Harper, Eugene Ware Elementary School’s Music Teacher. “They opened a position up for an after-school choir at the high school that I applied for.”
“I got the green light to begin rehearsals in October and we started on Tuesday,” Harper said. “Students in 9-12th grade are welcome to participate. We meet Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 PM-4:15 PM in the Choir Room at FSHS.”
“Our goal is to aid students interested in auditioning for district and state choir (virtual this year) to have that opportunity and to prepare students for the spring musical.”
“We are also striving to continue to cultivate a passion for choral music, preparing for community performances and other events that may be able to happen in the future.,” Harper said.
” During the pandemic, the science is continuously updating,” Harper said. “Our goal is to continue to follow the COVID guidelines put out by the National Association for Music Education and Kansas State High School Activities Association, meaning masked singing during rehearsals whether indoors or outdoors, limited to about 30 minutes at a time in any space, temperatures recorded, and symptom scanning.”
“Our first rehearsal was filled with folk songs to warm up and prepare for this adventure,” Harper said. “While we wait for the clearance to sing in the elementary classroom, this has been one way I get to feed my musical soul. It’s been lovely to be able to see our students continue to love singing in high school. I’m glad I get to be a part of their continued choral education!”
Fort Scott Middle School After School Choir
Jannah Farrington at Fort Scott Middle School is doing an after school choir with interested students, Harper said.
“When I was asked if I would be interested I was over the moon excited.,” Farrington said. “Special Education is my passion but music was my first love. I am a singer and began my college career as a vocal music major. I am excited to be on this journey as it lights a fire deep in my soul.”
She started with four interested students and now has up to seven.
“That number is growing as the word gets out to more and more students,” Farrington said.
“Our purpose together is to create music,” she said. “To use our musical instrument that was given to us.”
“We meet three days a week after school,” Farrington said. “That is adjusted to two days a week if we have a short week.”
“I am teaching basic skills on how to read music,” she said. ” I am also teaching them how to improve their tone, pitch ability and we are working on two-part harmony.”
They are working on a traditional and a contemporary piece of music.
“I am working on them listening to one another and singing together, building confidence, practicing hard and improving their singing skills,” she said.
She is striving to have fun in the club, during these uncertain and different times, she said.
“We are following the (pandemic) guidelines we need to and my students have adjusted well to that,” she said. ” We are not preparing for competition currently but are preparing and will host a zoom concert for their parents.”
