“Maybe I can help. Well, no, no, no. I think I just want to hear from the chair because the chair controls the agenda. So I'm asking the chairman... what items are on the agenda and when they were put on there and for what reason. So I'm assuming that you put this on the agenda for discussion at the last meeting. Is that what happened?”

“I think, for me, from a procedural perspective, when I see an agenda item, When I see an agenda, I expect there to be a presentation. Someone should tee it up before we give it to the public. That's just something I'm accustomed to.”

“What I'm saying is, from a board perspective, every agenda item When it's here and it's advertised to people, somebody should give a presentation about it, whether it's the chairperson, if the chair asks one of the members, just tee it up and say, this is an item on the agenda that we thought was important for us to discuss, and then open it up to the public.”

“Is that, Mr. Chair, is that- From when you say that there's a permit for more peers. Yes. Is that because of the Seaquarium site? No, no, no. We're in a different location. No, I'm sorry. We were talking about the Rickenbacker Marina site. So you're saying that that permit is for that site? Right.”
Virginia Key Advisory Board · Aug 25, 2026

“So what's the difference between the marine site that you're referring to and the one that... The referendum is referring to the same site?”

“But the Sequarium site, I know it's different, but isn't that like a huge development?”

“But if I'm reading correctly, the complaint was about a teacher not being certified.”

“Got it. And I guess I'm not asking what the intent would be, but how does something like that happen? I see there's some administrative systems that's quoted in the report, but how does that happen that someone would be teaching in a field that would be in a classroom, teaching a class that they're not certified to teach for?”

“I understand. I guess my follow-up question would be, maybe not in this situation and not necessarily trying to even deal with this situation, but a teacher who's not certified in a particular subject might acknowledge that they're not certified in a particular subject. Would that not be correct?”

“Got it. And then I guess my last question, if you'll indulge me, Mr. Chair. You know, what would be the, I understand that our kids must be in classrooms with teachers that are certified to teach the subject matters in front of them because that's the way curriculum works. But what would a principal or a teacher, not necessarily in this situation, but what would there be to gain to have someone teach a class that they're not certified to teach?”

“No, no, no, ask an administrative judge to provide a declaratory, ask an agency through an administrative judge to provide a declaratory statement as to what the rules are as it relates to this particular set of circumstances.”

“It's not for us to seek that. Right. Yeah. So what I'm saying is that, I mean, I don't want us to think that in this committee to think that ultimately when one government may have a different opinion about something as it relates to administrative rules and as it relates to whether any of this is administrative rules, you know what I'm saying? But you can always, or a person can always ask an agency to do an administrative action to tell us what this means.
