E
Good
evening,
president
Gilliland
vice
president
yuria
members
of
the
board
and
dr.
a
lot
of
I
am
Christopher
regional
assistant
superintendent
for
the
South
River
and
Arundel
clusters,
and
it
is
my
distinct
honor
and
great
pleasure
to
present
this
evenings
recognition
before
I
go
any
further
I'd
like
to
ask
the
members
of
the
board
and
dr.
or
Lotto
to
come
forward.
Please.
E
Members
of
the
board
and
dr.
R
lotto
tonight
we
recognize
a
student
and
a
family
that
personified
dedication
and
commitment
to
the
first
and
I
believe
the
most
important
value
in
our
school
system's
strategic
plan.
All
means
all.
This
is
a
very
special
recognition
to
me,
as
my
daughter
Jane
has
gotten
to
know:
Rosa
Marcelino
and
her
family
personally
over
the
years
to
be
quite
honest,
I'm
pinching
myself
that
I'm
actually
here
bringing
this
recognition.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here.
E
When
told
that
the
school
was
required
to
labor
label,
her
daughter,
who
has
Down
syndrome
as
mentally
on
IEP
documents,
Rosa's
mother
Nina,
who
is
now
a
special
educator
at
Central
special
school,
refused
to
accept
that
fate.
Rosa
Nina
and
the
entire
Marcelino
family
set
out
to
find
a
legislative
ally
who
would
be
sympathetic
to
the
issues
faced
by
people
with
disabilities
and
who
would
join
their
effort
to
raise
awareness
of
the
power
of
language
and
insist
that
their
voices
of
those
being
labeled
be
heard.
E
They
found
such
an
ally
in
state
delegate,
Ted
Sophocles,
who
sponsored
the
original
state
legislation
ten
years
ago
this
year
to
erase
the
stigma
stigmatizing
label
and
replace
it
with
the
term
intellectual
disability,
or
preferably
using
person
first
language,
a
person
with
an
intellectual
disability.
As
that
legislation
was
working
its
way
through
the
Statehouse.
The
Marceline
O's
were
fortunate
to
have
found
another
ally
now
at
the
national
level,
in
senator
barbara
mikulski.
In
a
powerful
speech
on
the
Senate
floor
with
a
photo
of
Rosa.
E
Next
to
her
senator
mikulski
called
the
legislation,
quote:
a
law
on
behalf
of
this
little
girl
and
on
behalf
of
all
of
the
children
of
the
United
States
of
America,
who
are
labeled
stigmatized
and
bear
a
burden,
the
rest
of
their
lives
because
of
the
language
we
use
in
the
law.
Books,
on
quote
senator
mikulski,
also
drew
upon
the
words
spoken
by
roses:
older
brother
Nick,
in
his
testimony
before
the
Maryland
General
Assembly,
and
in
response
to
the
recurring
question.
E
Why
do
you
care
what
we
call
Rosa
when
what
matters
is
how
we
treat
her
in
that
testimony?
Nick
explained
what
you
call
people
is
how
you
treat
them
next
quote,
would
end
up
being
repeated.
Several
months
later
in
the
White
House
East
Room
senator
Mikulski's
legislation
passed
and
Rosa's
law
was
signed
by
President
Barack
Obama
on
September
22nd
2010,
with
all
of
the
Marceline
O's
in
attendance.
Since
that
time,
Rosa
and
her
family
have
continued
to
advocate
for
the
rights
of
people
with
disabilities
to
be
fully
included
in
all
aspects
of
life.
E
In
addition
to
continuing
to
speak
out
on
this
issue,
Rosa
leads
by
example,
through
her
work
with
Best
Buddies
and
one
of
my
favorite
organizations,
Special
Olympics.
She
is
also
a
student
athlete
participating
in
our
school
systems.
Unified
sports
programs
for
South
River
high
school.
There
are
times
that
we
as
adults
need
to
stand
back
and
not
just
observe
but
learn
from
the
powerful
leadership
qualities
our
children
possess.
Rosa
is
just
such
a
child
and
the
work
she
and
her
family
have
done
is
just
such
a
case.
In
addition
to
Rosa
and
Nina.
E
We
are
truly
honored
to
have
with
us
here
tonight,
as
mentioned
by
mr.
Gilliland
senator
mikulski,
who
took
time
from
her
still
busy
schedule
to
be
with
us
for
this
recognition.
We
are
equally
honored
to
have
delegates,
sophocles,
wife,
alice,
who
succeeded
him
as
a
state
delegate
and
members
of
the
sophocles
family.
Here
this
evening.
We
want
to
give
them
an
opportunity
to
say
a
few
words,
but
first
I'd
like
to
invite
them,
along
with
Rosa
and
Nina,
of
course,
forward
for
a
photo
as
they
come
up.
E
F
Good
evening
to
the
members
of
the
Anne
Arundel
County
a
school
board
and
to
the
faculty
and
to
the
staff
of
the
school
system
and
to
anyone
watching
on
TV,
it's
a
wonderful
honor
to
be
here
tonight,
as
you
give
recognition
to
Rosa
a
pretty
brave,
outstanding
young
lady
and
to
her
family,
but
I'd
like
to
take
a
minute.
First
of
all,
to
extend
to
the
people
of
an
Arundel
County
to
the
school
board
and
to
the
faculty
the
support
staff.
F
This
wonderful,
unique
role
that
you
play
here
in
providing
a
compassionate
because
of
the
outstanding
job
you
do,
meaning
Anne
Arundel,
County,
Board
Department
of
Education
Anne
Arundel
County
is
a
compassionate
post
for
our
military.
Our
military
often
are
stationed
at
Fort
Meade,
particularly
if
they're
in
the
army,
if
they
have
a
special
needs
child,
because
the
great
school
system
you
have
and
the
programs
you
provide
for
the
children
in
need
with
these
special
and
unique
abilities
and
because
of
access
to
great
institutions
like
Kennedy,
Krieger,
Hopkins,
University
of
Maryland
and
the
NIH.
F
You
play
a
very
unique
role
and
that's
what
brought
me
to
a
round
table
in
2009
I
came
to
Central
Elementary
School
in
April
6
2009,
to
have
a
roundtable
on
special
education,
President
Obama
had
been
elected
and
his
stimulus
package.
He
was
putting
money
into
special
and
I
knew
what
you
were
doing
here
and
I
wanted
to
learn
from
you.
So
we
didn't
waste
the
money
when
we
sent
it
out,
we
would
make
good
use
at
that
round.
F
Table
was
a
mother
with
a
button
on
of
that
young
lady
up
there
that
you
see
Rosa
now
all
very
well,
a
junior
now
and
mrs.
Marcelino.
That's
when
we
met
told
me
about
what
was
happening
to
her
daughter,
Rosa
and
two
other
children
with
Down
syndrome
and
other
Czech
intellectual
challenges
that
what
one
had
been
considered
a
social
advancement
which
was
to
call
the
children
and
that
group
that
the
r-word
had
become
an
epithet,
often
resulting
in
bullying
and
harassment.
F
She
asked
if
I
would
change
the
law
and
I
said
well.
Tell
me:
what's
going
on,
she
told
me
about
Nick.
She
told
me
about
Ted
Sophocles
I
thought.
Well,
that's
a
great
guy
to
hang
around
with
I
knew
him
if
we
all
know
and
how
much
we
loved
him.
Our
pharmacist
friend
and
I
said
it
had
to
pass
Maryland
law,
so
we
would
not
be
in
conflict
that
it
would
not
be
in
contradiction
with
any
federal
law
and
also
it
would
not
eliminate
the
benefits
for
any
child
from
Social
Security,
a
private
trust,
etc.
F
I
went
back
to
Washington
to
start
my
work
and
I
found
out
another
Senator
Mike
Enzi
of
Wyoming
was
also
involved
in
this.
We
teamed
up
hard
to
believe
he's
red
state,
I'm
blue
state
he's
Republican
I'm
Democrat.
Our
voting
records
diverge,
but
he's
a
man
of
unfailing
civility
and
old-school
Sensibility.
F
When
we
talked
about
it,
he
had
a
young
lady
in
his
state.
What
is
a
professional
accountant?
He
said.
Let
me
go
to
all
of
those
that
are
involved
in
these
benefit
laws
and
estate
planning,
and
so
on
and
I
took
my
Social
Work
background
and
I
went
to
work
to
talk
to
all
the
groups
involved,
so
we
could
be
on
the
same
team,
so
we
decided
we
weren't,
red
or
blue.
We
decided
we
were
red,
white
and
blue
and
we
were
gonna
stand
up
for
America's
children.
F
We
put
aside
political
differences,
work,
shoulder-to-shoulder
did
our
homework,
so
there'd
be
no
negative
and
unattended
consequence
and
we
passed
the
law.
It
was
passed
and
signed
into
law
on
October
10th.
We
went
to
the
White
House
for
signing
the
Marcelino
family
was
there
and
had
a
chance
to
meet
the
president
and
there's
Rosa
up
there,
and
this
goes
to
what
I've
said
and
I'll
conclude
by
this
I
often
is
said.
The
best
ideas
come
from
the
people.
This
idea
came
from
the
people.
Not
a
think-tank,
not
a
professionally
played.
F
Gobby
is
not
anything
wrong
with
that,
but
from
grassroots
and
then
the
other
saying
is
each
and
every
one
of
us
can
make
a
difference.
But
when
we
work
together
we
can
make
change
and
I
think
really.
This
is
a
salute
at
a
time
when
people
wonder
about
democracy,
when
you
see
the
Marcelino
family
and
you
know
what
we
did
together.
If
you
work
at
democracy,
democracy
works,
and
let
me
conclude
by
saying
this:
in
September,
the
Enoch
Pratt
will
open
its
renovated
library.
F
I
have
placed
in
the
hands
of
Nina
Pratt
the
Medal
of
Freedom,
the
President
Obama
awarded
me
and
Rosa
came
to
see
me
shortly
after
that,
with
her
Special
Olympics
medal
and
what
she
presented
to
me
as
well.
So
when
the
Enoch
Pratt
opens
this,
there's
gonna
be
like
a
little
area
saluting
me
and
we're
going
to
have
the
Medal
of
Freedom,
but
we're
also
going
to
have
the
Special
Olympics
and
we're
gonna
have
the
Rose
a
button
that
really
launched
an
educational
revolution.
You
see
we
can
make
it
all
work.
H
A
Thank
you
and
into
the
Sophocles
family,
on
a
personal
note,
I
will
say:
I
had
the
the
honor
and
privilege
of
serving
with
Ted
and
I
know
he's
looking
down
now
smiling.
He
is
somebody
that
I
think
all
of
us
aspired
to
be
like
him
because
of
people.
I
had
the
privilege
to
serve
with
down
there.
I
don't
know
anybody
had
a
bigger
heart
and
I
missed
that
I
know
you
do
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
as
well.
A
A
I
Well,
I've
been
quite
busy.
The
last
couple
of
weeks
I
got
my
very
first
opportunity
to
see
rock
and
roll
revival
at
Severna
Park,
High
School.
My
kids
are
very
involved
in
the
arts
and
they
always
get
to
go
and
tell
me
about
it,
but
I'm
always
too
late
to
snag
those
tickets,
but
I
got
there
this
time.
It's
amazing.
I
So
many
truly
talented
kids
for
me
personally
I
feel
like
the
band
was
the
MVP
they're
amazing,
but
one
fun
show
everyone
should
go.
They
do
it
every
year,
I
also
went
to
the
National
History
Day
Awards,
and
that
was
also
a
very
rewarding
experience
for
me.
Just
hearing
the
titles
of
the
work
made
me
really
ponder
how
deep
these
kids
are,
studying
history
and
and
where
they
come
up
with
these
ideas,
for
these
topics
is
just
phenomenal.
I
I
also
attended
the
PV,
a
theatre,
one
acts
performance
and
that
at
Annapolis
high
school,
that
was
lots
of
fun
and
I
want
to
make
a
plug
for
two
shows
that
I
know
that
I'm
going
to
be
attending
coming
up.
One
is
once
on
this
island
at
Meade
high
school
opening
April
4th
through
six,
and
that
is
one
of
my
very
favorite
musicals
and
also
Little
Mermaid
at
Annapolis,
High
School,
April
5th
through
14th
I'll,
be
going
there
too.
D
D
What
was
the
other
one
that
stuck
out
to
me?
Well,
they
all
stuck
out.
They
were
all
every
single
act
was
incredible:
I
didn't
have
I
walked
away
from
it.
I
brought
my
family,
my
whole
family.
My
daughter
asked
me
what
was
my
favorite
I
couldn't
come
up
with
one,
because
they
were
all
so
brilliant
and
the
the
amount
of
energy
and
an
effort
that
goes
into
that
production.
They
should
all
be
commended.
It
was
fabulous.
D
I
also
attended
the
March
for
our
schools
in
support
of
our
teachers
and
also
attended
a
caucus
of
african-american
leaders.
Meeting
as
I
generally
do
I,
somehow
sometimes
I
don't
mention
it,
but
I
try
to
go
almost
every
month,
and
this
month
was
particularly
wonderful
because
myself
and
a
bunch
of
other
amazing
women
in
our
community
were
were
honored
as
part
of
Women's
Month.
Although
I
think
we
should
honor
women
every
day
and
I
think
that's
it
for
the
two
weeks
it
was
very,
it
was
very,
very
busy
yeah.
Thank.
J
Yes,
it's
a
busy
time
of
year,
I
attended
and
the
arts
empowered
grant
event
at
Belle,
Grove
elementary
school,
and
just
amazing
things
that
are
going
on
in
our
northern
cluster,
about
the
arts
and
integrating
arts
in
there
and
we've
once
again
received
in
massive
NEA
grant
to
help
him
include
that,
and
so
it
was
a
great
experience
to
be
out.
There.
I
also
attended
the
March
for
our
schools.
We
marched
for
all
school
employees
and
for
our
students
to
come
out.
J
I
really
enjoyed
riding
the
bus
with
a
group
of
teachers
from
Maryland,
Elementary
and
being
out
apart
there
and
with
the
teachers,
as
we
voiced
what
you
know,
our
support
for
the
curving
Commission
and
additional
funding
for
everyone.
For
the
second
year
in
a
row,
I
had
the
pleasure
of
it
going
to
Chesapeake
high
school
for
their
Read
Across
America
event.
J
Raya
all
attended
the
stem
awards
ceremony
last
week
as
we
honored
to
the
top
student
outstanding
stem
students
from
every
one
of
our
high
school
programs
and
as
that's
the
emcee
so
rightly
said,
we
all
came
away
feeling
a
bit
inadequate
because
these
students
are
so
amazingly
accomplished
and
doing
such
great
things
and
have
such
great
ambitions
coming
out
there.
This
weekend
it
was
incredibly
exciting
two
of
our
high
schools,
the
girls
and
the
boys.
J
Basketball
teams
went
to
the
state
finals,
so
I
went
to
oh
I,
went
up
to
Towson
to
watch
Old
Mill
play
and
then
I
went
down
to
College
Park
to
watch
the
broad
neck
boys.
Unfortunately,
neither
one
pulled
it
out,
but
they
had
amazing
seasons
to
get
to
the
final.
So
that
was
incredibly
exciting,
so
hats
off
to
both
of
those
basketball
programs
for
what
they
had
today.
J
I
went
to
Salt
Lake
Mary,
to
judge
the
science
fair,
which
is
always
exciting,
to
look
at
the
science
fair
and
for
me
to
be
grateful
that
none
of
mine
had
to
do
one
this
year
and
I
was
glad
for
that.
So
I
was
happy
to
judge
others,
but,
and
one
of
the
best
things
that
I've
done
in
these
past
two
weeks
is
that
Monday
I
attended
through
the
Maryland
association
of
Boards
of
Education,
their
equity,
Academy
and
I
turned
that,
along
with
several
staff
members
from
a
ACPs.
J
As
we
talked
about
creating
a
equity
and
equity
policy
for
our
school
districts
and
the
importance
of
looking
at
every
decision,
we
make,
through
an
equity
lens,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
the
resources
that
children
need
to
succeed,
not
equal
resources,
but
what
everyone
needs,
and
and
going
through
the
equity
lens.
How
we
do
that
AAA
CPS's
has
already
is
already
doing
that
when
we
go
through
all
of
our
policies
and
programs.
J
But
it
was
a
wonderful
refresher
and
to
use
the
tool
and
talking
with
other
school
districts
from
around
the
state
as
to
do
that
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
what
we're
gonna
bring
from
that
move
forward
and
I,
encourage
and
hope.
My
fellow
board
members
for
future
of
these
boards,
Academy
on
equity,
will
attend
as
well.
K
You
so,
as
many
of
my
other
fellow
board,
members
have
reiterated.
We've
gone
to
a
lot
of
events
recently,
so
one
that
I
was
privileged
to
go
to
was
the
arts
empowerment
minds,
grant
announcement
at
Belle
Grove
Elementary
School?
It
was
actually
my
first
time
over
there.
It
was
beautiful
school,
but
it
was
amazing
just
getting
to
see
how
these
fourth
graders
and
fifth
graders
like
knew
all
these
body
movements
and
like
correlated
it
to
education,
was
really
inspiring.
Something
else.
K
I
got
to
go
to
was
the
TAC
March
on
the
11th,
so
it
was
great
with
other
smaug's
and
TAC
members
and
people
from
around
the
county
and
Marilyn,
coming
together
in
downtown
Annapolis
and
on
the
county
just
to
really
fight
for
education
and
funding,
and
then
something
else
I
got
to
go
to
with
Miss
Hummer
and
miss
Antwon
as
well
was
the
stem
award
ceremony
at
st.
John's
College,
and
it
was
really
amazing
because
it
was
really
signifying
the
excellence
and
in
education
and
stem
of
our
students.
K
But
then
they
got
to
really
give
back
to
their
teachers
as
well
and
signify
how
they
were
so
successful
and
passionate
about
something
because
of
their
teachers
and
how
they
were
inspired
by
them.
So
there
were
a
lot
of
tears,
but
it
was
really
fantastic
and
now
that
was
by
far
one
of
the
best
ceremonies
I've
ever
been
to
and
then
something
that
I
actually
did
today
with
a
couple
other
crafts
kids
was,
as
I
told
you
last
month,
we
paired
up
with
curriculum
and
we're
looking
at
the
implicit
bias
and
elementary
school
books.
K
K
A
Thank
you
mr.
riah
and
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
say
miss.
Mrs.
H
Wayne
is
at
the
county
executives
budget
hearing
tonight
in
district
1
and
she
should
be
joining
us
momentarily.
But
if
she
was
here
with
us,
I
know
she
would
draw
attention
as
well
to
the
2019,
a
a
CPS
county,
regional
science
and
engineering
Expo
award.
She
and
I
had
the
the
privilege
of
being
there
last
week
and
being
on
stage
to
shake
I
want
to
say
about
200
hands
throughout
the
evening.
A
L
President
I
want
to
thank
the
board
members.
I
won't
be
repetitive
of
all
the
things
that
I
got
a
chance
to
attend,
along
with
many
the
board
members
in
the
last
several
weeks,
but
I
do
want
to
thank
you
for
getting
out
there
getting
out
there
to
the
the
plays
and
the
science
fairs
and
reading
and
schools
and
whatever
it
might
be.
It's
really
important
that
our
children
and
our
staff
and
our
community
see
you
out
in
schools
and
so
I'm
delighted
for
that.
So
thank
you.
Three
things
I
just
want
to
mention.
L
One
is
that
we
are
our
financial
reporting
here
in
Ann,
Rowan
County
has
won
yet
again.
Another
award,
the
association
of
business
officials
international
or
as
BOE,
has
awarded
an
Arundel
County.
Yet
another
outstanding
financial
reporting
award
I
was
recently
contacted
by
ASBO
and
they
stated
that
they
are
pleased
to
award
and
Ronald
County
with
a
certificate
of
excellence
in
financial
reporting
as
BOE
internationals
CEO
II
recognizes
districts
that
have
met
the
program's
high
standards
for
financial
reporting
and
accountability.
L
The
school
district
earned
their
certificate
of
excellence
for
its
comprehensive
annual
financial
report,
or
they
known
as
the
gaffer
for
the
fiscal
year
ending
in
2018
and
so
I
thank
the
team.
They
are
amazing,
it's
not
the
first
time
and
certainly
won't
be
the
last
time.
The
work
is
amazing,
so
thank
you
to
Matt
and
your
team,
and
it
really
speaks
well
to
one
of
our
driving
values
in
that
sound
stewardship
in
our
strategic
plan.
So
thank
you
to
you.
Thank
you
to
the
team.
L
It's
been
reported
in
the
news
recently
channel,
13
and
others
that
we
have
just
launched
the
new
star
program
or
screening
teens
to
access
recovery.
It's
a
partnership
with
Anna
Rowan
County
Department
of
Health,
where
our
school
nurses
are
now
trained
and
equipped
to
connect
students
to
licensed
mental
health
therapists
who
are
seeking
assistance
with
substance
abuse
issues,
and
that
can
be
done
right
in
school
in
the
health
rooms.
It's
just
another
way
that
we're
working
to
positively
influence
the
social,
emotional
growth
and
well-being
of
our
students.
L
I
thank
very
much
Karen
Sisco
and
nursing
group
I
know
that
miss
Eagan
and
your
team
have
worked
very
hard
with
them
to
put
this
together,
but
this
was
recently
launched
and
we
have
had
our
first
student
login
in
this
past
week
and
gotten
services
and
and
helped
them
so
we're
delighted
that
it's
up
and
running.
So
thank
you
to
your
in
team
and
thank
you
to
the
partnership
with
the
County
Department
of
Health
and
lastly,
I
got
the
opportunity
today
to
spend
a
brief
a
bit
of
time
at
Katz's
South.
L
They
won
third
place
platinum
in
the
state
of
Maryland.
They
are
the
first
public
school
to
win
that
high
Ward.
They
placed
21st
in
the
country
out
of
three
thousand
two
hundred
and
ninety
three
teams
in
the
open
division.
So
you
ask
the
question:
what
is
the
CyberPatriot
competition
and
so
I
had
to
print
it
out,
because
if
I
try
to
explain
it
to
you,
I
would
just
butcher
it.
L
So,
in
short,
it
is
the
goal
of
CyberPatriot
competition
to
find
and
fix
vulnerabilities
in
operating
systems,
and
so
the
teams
are
giving
these
given
these
imaginary
operating
systems
where
they
have
to
log
in
and
go
through
a
time
period
where
they
have
to
keep
them
up
and
running,
as
vulnerabilities
are
coming
in
and
it's
under
attack
through
cyber.
If
that
makes
sense
to
those
of
you
that
are
much
smarter
than
me.
Some
rounds
include
networking
challenges
in
the
form
of
quizzes
and
an
cisco
packet
tracer
activities.
L
Teams
can
also
gain
points
by
answering
questions
about
their
actions.
When
teams
fix
a
vulnerability
that
is
being
checked,
they
receive
points
if
they
take
an
action
that
makes
the
system
less
secure,
they
lose
points,
and
so
this
is
so
members
of
the
MSDE.
The
state
bored
were
down
to
award
the
certificates
to
the
students,
and
so
we're
really
proud
of
that
work.
So
go
CyberPatriot
team
at
cat
South,
the
first
in
the
state
of
Maryland
to
win
Platt.
Thank.
M
A
C
Thank
you.
So
the
policy
committee
met
on
March
13th
at
1
p.m.
here
in
this
building,
and
we
reviewed
regulation,
DJ
RA
on
grants,
many
grants
and
special
projects
I'm
a
commentary
to
it.
We
also
opened
a
new
discussion
on
policy
iff
of
special
education,
which
is
ongoing
with
no
current
action
and
policy
I
I
of
grading,
which
will
be
moving
forward
to
this
board.

A
A
P
Good
evening
my
name
is
Mary
Laura
and
I'm,
the
proud
assistant,
superintendent
for
a
sense,
Events,
Studies
and
programs.
It
is
my
honor
to
be
with
you
this
evening
to
discuss
our
service
learning
program.
As
we
agree,
greatness
is
determined
by
service
to
begin
I
would
like
my
fellow
panelists
to
introduce
themselves.
S
P
1997
Marilyn
was
the
first
state
in
the
nation
to
respire
all
state
high
school
students
to
engage
in
service
learning
as
part
of
their
high
school
graduation
requirements.
Service
learning
is
a
teaching
method
that
combines
meaningful
service
to
the
community,
with
curriculum
based
learning
students
improve
their
academic
skills
by
applying
what
they
learn
in
class
to
real-world
issues.
They
then
reflect
on
their
experience
to
reinforce
the
link
between
their
service
and
their
learning
them.
P
As
such
Maryland's
service
learning
requires
all
local
school
systems
to
ensure
learning
plans
include
preparation,
action
and
reflection
in
consideration
of
best
practices.
Maryland's
best
practices
consist
of
addressing
a
recognized
need
in
the
community
achieving
curricular
objectives
through
service
learning,
reflecting
throughout
the
service
learning
experience,
developing
student
responsibility,
establishing
community
partnerships,
planning
ahead
for
service
learning
and
equipping
students
with
knowledge
and
skills
needed
for
civic
engagement
and
the
spirit
of
the
county
strategic
plan.
We
believe
service-learning
promotes
opportunity,
academic
growth
and
personal
and
community
development.
P
We
also
believe
service-learning
is
a
teaching
a
learning
strategy
that
integrates
meaningful
engagement
with
instruction
and
reflection
to
enrich
the
learning
experiences
of
our
students
by
teaching
civic
responsibility
and
strengthening
our
communities.
The
ultimate
goal
of
our
service-learning
program
is
to
help
students
become
an
integral
part
of
their
civic
surroundings,
while
also
helping
them
understand
and
appreciate
the
role
of
service
in
a
democratic
society.
Our
program
begins
in
fifth
grade
and
concludes
in
high
school
through
discipline.
P
Explorations
specifically
students,
service
learning
experiences
are
primarily
integrated
into
the
curriculum
in
the
following
grades
and
courses:
five
interdisciplinary
hours
and
fifth
grade
30
interdisciplinary
hours
10
in
each
of
the
three
grades
in
middle
school
40
hours
in
high
school,
with
10
hours
in
US,
government,
health,
English
and
science.
However,
we
realized
we
could
and
should
do
so
much
more.
P
So
we
have
designed
a
service
learning
portal,
the
creation
of
the
online
service
learning
portal
modeled
after
our
internship
portal
was
purposeful
and
Erica
Anne
Arundel,
County,
Public
Schools,
believes
in
the
benefits
of
service
learning
and
the
role
of
stewardship
in
our
students.
This
portal
enhances
the
student
role
in
citizenship
by
reinforcing
the
intangible
benefits
to
our
youth
and
developing
self-confidence
following
passions,
building,
greater
global
community
awareness
and
seeing
the
impact
of
social
responsibility
serve
a
ACPs.
P
Our
brand
new
service
learning
portal
is
an
interactive
web
platform
that
now
provides
high
school
students
options
for
service
learning
opportunities
all
over
our
County.
It
is
moving
us
from
low
end
public
service
experiences
to
high
end
student
choice
and
community
based
service
opportunities
for
learning
and
character
growth.
Q
Initiated
the
distinguished
service
learning
portal
pilot
for
all
high
schools
in
the
fall
of
2018,
as
reflected
in
the
ReadySet
launch
indicator
of
the
strategic
plan.
It's
our
goal
to
prepare
all
students
for
college
career
and
community
readiness
being
changemakers
with
action
is
a
key
tenant,
as
our
students
move
from
high
school
to
adult,
engaging
in
transitional
pursuits
this
year
beyond
earning
75
hours,
many
of
our
high
school
students
are
going
above
and
be,
and
working
with
established
clubs
and
established
community
gap
partners
on
service
learning
initiatives.
Q
In
fact,
126
projects
are
in
the
process
or
completed
as
of
today.
This
includes
over
forty
three
opportunities
across
the
district
within
the
portal.
Each
student
has
his
or
her
own
dashboard,
which
displays
information
about
the
hours
engaged
current
projects
and
completed
opportunities.
From
this
page,
the
students
can
access
new
projects,
recommend
a
community
partner
print
the
service
resume
for
Naviance
inclusion
and
update
agreements
or
personal
information.
Q
Additionally,
in
the
spirit
of
collaboration,
each
of
our
partners
has
an
individual
dashboard.
This
page
allows
the
partner
to
update
agreements,
indicate
interest
and
other
partnership
opportunities
view
current
and
past
service
opportunities
access
resources
and
create
new
opportunities
for
our
students.
Over
the
past
two
years,
County
students
have
participated
in
service
events
in
the
portal.
They
have
included
opportunities
at
the
Smithsonian
Environmental
Research
Center

ayuda,
rotary
bountiful,
backpacks
and
walk
the

foundation.
A
recent
southern
graduate
Joey
Miller
currently
attends
Salisbury
University.
Q
His
experience
working
with
circ
led
him
to
an
internship
there
in
his
class
at
Salisbury
last
semester,
a
photo
from
stark
came
on
the
screen,
Joey
instantly
identified
it
and
then
elaborated
on
the
project,
like
the
expert
that
he
is.
His
professor
wondered
how
he
recognized
and
knew
so
much.
He
relayed
his
story
of
service.
She
noted
how
insightful
he
was
and
was
genuinely
impressed
that
he
did
all
of
that
in
high
school.
The
opportunity
was
perfect
for
Joey.
He
was
able
to
help
the
environment.
Q
Add
his
passion
for
the
outdoors
and
worked
with
his
hands
to
make
an
impact,
not
just
an
impact
insert,
but
an
impact
on
his
own
learning.
Utilizing
a
dashboard
framework
site
administrators
are
able
to
navigate
the
entire
portal
there.
They
can
mass
email
partners,
add
teachers
and
Club
advisors,
access
student
information
as
needed,
approved
projects
and
view
upcoming
opportunities.
Teacher
and
Club
advisor
have
similar
capabilities,
but
they're
limited
to
only
the
students
within
their
school
or
their
club.
The
impact
of
serving
and
the
portal
is
best
described
by
our
student
voices.
R
Good
evening,
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here
tonight
to
share
my
experiences
with
the
service
portal.
So
far,
I
have
served
with
County
County
serve
an
inner
work
on
a
homeless
resource
day.
I
want
to
briefly
highlight
my
experiences
or
the
homeless
resource
day.
The
event
provided
help
for
those
who
needed
him.
I
helped
a
lady
who
was
in
a
wheelchair
and
was
dealing
with
COPD
this
event
provided
help
for
thee.
Oh,
we
went
around
and
I
was
able
to
help
her
get
medical
attention
like
dental
and
set
up
other
appointments.
R
The
event
also
provided
help
getting
ideas
and
financial
help
as
a
result
of
this
I
now
realize
that
our
county
offers
so
many
resources
for
those
experiencing
homelessness
and
that
even
we
even
have
families
in
our
community
for
homeless.
I
also
learned
how
to
operate
a
wheelchair,
which
is
something
I've
never
done.
I
was
glad.
I
could
serve
this
day
and
now
I
look
forward
to
finding
other
opportunities
in
the
portal
to
get
involved
and
ways
to
support
our
community.
Now
I'm
nya
well
share
ways.
She
believes
the
portal
help
in
the
future
Thank.
S
My
passion
I
think
that
the
portal
will
allow
me
to
humble
myself
more
because
when
you're
volunteering,
it
allows
you
to
sympathy
sympathize
with
people
who
are
different
than
you.
It
makes
you
appreciate
things
you
have.
It
will
also
help
me
work.
Help
me
with
work
and
social
opportunities.
I
am
not
really
the
speaker
type
of
person
and
these
opportunities.
Allow
me
to
develop
leadership
and
speaking
skills.
It
will
also
help
prepare
me
long-term
for
my
college
and
career
decisions
when
it
comes
down
to
it.
A
D
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I,
don't
really
have
a
question
I
just
I.
Just
think
this
is
fabulous,
so
I
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
and
thank
you
so
much
for
serving
your
community
and
it
was
wonderful
hearing
about
your
experiences.
I'm
a
lifelong
volunteer
myself
since
I
was
11,
and
this
is
personal
and
meaningful
and
I
I'm,
so
glad
that
we
do
this
and
and
and
expect
this
of
our
students,
and
so
thank
you
for
a
wonderful
job.
K
Also
want
to
echo
it
miss
Shaw,
I'm
7.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
the
presentation
and
coming
and
speaking
about
this
portal.
It's
really
inspiring
hearing
what
you
guys
do
in
the
community
and
volunteering
just
hearing
how
it
humbles
you
and
opens
your
eyes
so
many
more
possibilities.
I
just
do
have
a
couple
of
questions.
K
P
Ours,
so
at
this
point
it's
adding
to
the
75
hours
that
are
built
into
the
curriculum,
but
you
are
absolutely
reading
where
we
want
to
go.
We
actually
want
the
portal
to
be
used
to
facilitate
choice
so
right
now,
through
the
different
explorations
of
the
courses
and/or,
the
interdisciplinary
connections
that
happen
in
5th
6th,
7th
or
8th
grade
it's
grade
level
oriented.
P
How
wonderful
would
it
be
through
a
connection
of
learning
that
children
could
actually
have
a
choice
to
actually
show
how
they
can
make
a
difference,
staying
within
the
learning
connection,
but
actually
giving
back
not
just
in
the
school
day
but
beyond
the
school
day
to
count
for
this
75?
So
that
is
our
goal
to
get
there
we're
just
starting
with
distinguished
at
this
time
as
we're
building
that
and.
K
P
Our
goal
would
be
that
teachers
give
choice
within
the
curriculum
opportunities
of
exploration
so
that
they
would
actually
work
with
the
community
to
establish
service
connections
within
their
communities
at
large,
so
that
a
child
could
select
to
do
the
service
through
that
medium
or
also
continue
to
work
within
the
curricular
itself.
But
we
really
want
to
have
children
have
a
personal
connection
to
their
learning
and
see
how
they
can
make
a
difference
as
a
steward
or
a
change
maker
as
part
of
their
learning
career.
Thank.
K
A
C
Without
those
services
there
they
don't
have
the
ability
to
connect
and
to
survive
in
some
cases.
So,
although
you
had
a
little,
you
played
a
small
role
in
it.
I
just
want
to
say
out
loud
how
big
of
a
difference
that
makes
because
that
how
we
get
people
from
being
homeless,
to
having
stable
housing
and
to
having
a
stable
life,
and
so
you
may
not
recognize
it,
but
you
probably
saved
a
life
that
day,
because
that
is
what
happens
every
single
homeless
resource
day.
C
J
Q
Right
now
for
so
sent
out
through
signature
facilitators
and
then
with
with
that
at
each
school
kind
of
going
into
the
clubs.
So
at
Glen
Burnie
high
school
we've
been
working
with
some
of
the
Bema
students.
Some
of
the
avid
students
interact
is
involved
in
it,
so
we're
just
kind
of
making
sure
that
everything's
going
well
and
then,
hopefully
you
know
within
the
next
year
it
can
be
open
to
anyone,
but
anyone
can
really
get
on
it.
Q
P
Purposeful
training
happened
with
all
the
signature
facilitators
the
beginning
of
the
school
year,
and
we
asked
for
every
school
to
start
tinkering,
as
we
were,
ensuring
that
the
portal
itself
is
being
responsive
to
our
needs,
as
well
as
building
the
community
partnerships.
So
our
goal
really
is
to
have
it
a
school-wide
opportunity
but
I
think
even
just-
and
we
were
talking
about
upstairs.
P
We
have
students
that
have
recognized
the
value
of
the
portal
and
because
of
the
experience
that
have
had
in
their
school
they're,
independently
searching
and
then
a
sponsor
at
the
school
will
then
support
them
with
their
journey
based
on
the
opportunities
that
have
been
extended
to
them.
So
we're
excited
about
that.
So
it's
not
just
school
or
club
oriented
it's
actually
independent
future
leaders
or
looking
to
give
back
in
some
way.
So
it's
exciting
to
see
that
as
well.
P
Q
It
really
is
something
that's
going
to
have
to
scribe,
like
the
good
things
that
are
happening
on
happening
on
the
portal
like
with
Ronnie
and
and
I,
going
to
their
friends
and
saying,
hey,
there's
some
really
good
activities
on
here
opportunities
for
you
get
involved,
and
so
anything
you
know
positive
like
that,
it's
going
to
spread
the
students
are
gonna
start
seeing
the
opportunities
as
things
that
they
should
be
involved
with.
That's.
R
J
A
I
I
Miss
Hummer
asked
my
questions,
but
I
guess
I
want
to
understand
a
little
better
because
I
being
the
parent
of
teens
I
have
kids
going
to
college
every
other
year
for
what
feels
like
forever,
but
so
I'm
familiar
with
the
college
preparation
process
and
when,
when
I
was
helping
my
daughter
through
it,
because
you
know
she
would
come
bounce
things
off
me
and
she
had
to
wrack
her
brain
and
go
back
and
she
there
were
so
many
things.
I
forgot
I
did
that
you
know,
and
so
this
is
a
great
tool
for
that.
I
Q
For
every
student
on
their
dashboard,
they
have
an
option
where
they
can
print
their
resume
and
that
will
include
their
hours,
who
they
worked
with
what
they
did
and
then
the
contact
for
that
person.
So
if
they
had
to
get
some
type
of
a
you
know,
a
recommendation
or
something
for
college
is
all
easily
accessible
and
that's
one
of
the
you
know
the
big
selling
points
of
it
is
it's
like?
Yes,
as
we
do,
we
relate
it
to
our
own.
I
said
you
know
my
child
had
to
do
his
applications.
Q
P
I
A
You
miss
Ellis
and
I've
no
more
lights
here
so
just
again
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
you
and
Ronnie
I
serve
on
the
board
of
a
local
nonprofit
called
hope
for
all
that
that
supports
the
transition
from
homelessness
to
self
sustainability.
As
so,
this
is
initiatives
near
and
dear
to
me.
So
thank
you
for
doing
what
you
do
and
and
to
both
of
you.
I'm
gonna
say
something
that
I've
never
said
before.
P
P
L
A

you,
and
now
we
will
move

T
U
My
name
is
Karla
Simons
good
evening
board
members
and
dr.
Errol
Otto,
my
husband
and
I
have
a
blended,
active-duty,
Armed
Forces
family,
with
three
teenage
sons
living
in
the
broad
neck
feeder
section
our
tool,
the
sons
are
half
black
and
half
white,
one
of
whom
has
an
autism
diagnosis
with
severe
speech
language
disorder.
Our
youngest
son
is
white
before
transferring
to
Maryland
I
homeschooled
our
sons
for
several
years,
I
needed
to
work
on
my
own
health.
U
We
were
told
that
the
broad
net
schools
were
top-notch
and
had
a
phenomenal
special
needs
program.
Instead,
the
exact
opposite
was
true.
Our
oldest
son
has
been
a
victim
of
racial
profiling
several
times
at
broad
neck
high
school.
During
one
instance,
he
was
falsely
accused
of
stealing
money
from
another
student's
backpack.
During
the
investigation
he
was
brihat
berated
by
one
of
the
assistant
principals,
who
was
also
threatening
my
husband
when
the
video
of
the
incident
was
reviewed.
U
U
Additionally,
two
months
ago,
same
son
went
to
the
school
nurse
as
he
was
horribly
sick.
Instead
of
treating
him
like
any
of
the
other
Caucasian
students
in
the
health
room,
the
school
nurse
falsely
accused
and
would
being
under
the
influence
of
drugs.
She
kept
making
this
accusation,
even
after
my
husband
told
her
three
times,
our
son
was
not
on
drugs.
He
did
in
fact
have
a
stomach
virus
and
I
had
to
file
a
complaint.
U
Our
youngest
son
was
tormented
in
her
ass
for
months
by
other
students
with
no
relief.
He
was
finally
so
frustrated
that
he
lashed
out
at
the
offender's
calling
them
the
meanest
thing
he
could
think
of
the
N
word.
He
got
two
days
suspension
and
had
to
take
biased
classes.
The
other
students
walked
away
undisciplined
the
principal
handling.
This
bias
towards
him
even
told
my
husband
that
this
is
a
man's
world
and
women
are
second
class
in
a
meeting
that
we
had
with
her
over
this
mess.
Our
special
needs.
U
Son
has
been
the
target
of
theft
and
assault
at
broad
neck
high
school
in
January
2017.
His
wallet
was
stolen
in
gym
class.
Taking
his
lunch
money,
nothing
was
done.
Two
weeks
later,
he
was
attacked
by
another
special
needs
student
which
drew
blood.
There
was
no
phone
call
home,
no
it's
a
net
report
and
he
wasn't
even
taken
to
the
nurse's
office.
The
only
remedy
that
was
offered
was
to
keep
the
two
students
apart.
U
Administration
took
our
son
out
of
his
normal
classes,
rotating
him
out
of
guitar,
gym,
walking
and
nutrition
to
let
this
other
student
graduate.
How
is
this
providing
an
equitable
learning
environment
for
my
son
during
this
time
the
IEP
established
with
a
a
CPS
was
found
to
be
ineffective
and
useless.
I
requested
that
a
parent
educator
from
parents
place
of
Marilyn
review
it
and
we
discovered
that
it
was
never
met
with
SMART
goals
during
his
homeschooling
in
2016,
I
had
prepared
him
for
fourth
fifth
grade
academics.
U
School
assessments
showed
that
instead
of
advancing
my
son,
a
a
CPS
had
regressed
him
by
two
academic
years
since
enrollment.
After
this,
our
son
was
retaliated
against
by
two
varsity
cheerleaders,
who
harassed
and
taunted
him
after
filing
a
bullying
report.
The
girls
lied
on
their
statements,
causing
no
resolution.
Yet
again,
the
principals
and
staff
did
nothing
positive.
Instead,
hid
lied
and
destroyed
any
possibility
for
him
to
graduate
from
brodnik

School

sent
multiple
emails
to
all

them,

I've
lived
here
in
Maryland
for
the
past
three
years,
I
came
from
a
school
where
I
was
bullied.
What
seemed
like
every
day
for
anything
people
could
pick
at
me
with.
It
could
have
been
anything
from
my
hair
to
people
making
fun
of
my
brother
I
was
hoping
that
by
moving
to
Maryland
I
could
have
a
new
start.
I
focused
on
my
education.
Instead
I
was
faced
with
a
new
situation
discrimination.
It
first
started
my
sophomore
year.
V
In
the
second
semester,
I
was
sitting
in
lunch
with
a
friend
of
mine.
At
that
moment,
I
was
not
aware
that
another
student
that
we
knew
was
stealing
money
from
someone
else
in
the
lunchroom
I
walked
over
to
that
same
students
backpack
and
took
some
crackers
that
he
had
in
his
lunchbox
came
back
to
the
table
and
proceeded
to
eat
them.
My
friend
and
the
student
taking
the
money
came
back
to
the
table.
V
V
The
administrator
who
was
holding
me
in
her
office
threatened
to
have
my
father
investigated
about
her
daughter
for
Fort,
Meade
and
threatened
to
have
me
arrested
if
I
did
not
give
her
my
money,
she
told
me
that
the
student
who
was
robbed
was
missing
$200,
but
when
it
come
to
find
out,
it
was
only
120.
The
school
officials
already
had
the
money
in
their
possession,
but
still
threatened
me
and
my
friend
to
give
them
our
money.
V
They
were
not
allowing
me
to
watch
the
footage
that
they
took
in
the
lunchroom
but
said
that
they
had
me
on
camera,
going
through
the
students,
bag
and
stealing
money.
When
my
parents
came
down
to
the
school,
the
administrator
changed
up
her
whole
personality
and
tried
to
deny
everything
that
she
threw
at
me
with.
Once
we
were
shown
the
footage
it
showed
that
all
I
took
from
the
bag
was
indeed
crackers.
I
was
still
suspended.
Two
days
for
stealing
crackers.
V
I
was
told
by
the
principal
that
if
I
stayed
out
of
trouble
until
the
end
of
the
first
semester
of
my
junior
year
that
they
removed
the
incident
from
my
record
when
I
came
to
him,
telling
him
that
I
fulfilled
my
promise,
he
told
me
that
he
didn't
know
what
I
was
talking
about.
My
second
incident
was
when
I
was
in
school,
when
I
was
looking
for
a
room
with
a
computer
to
complete
my
homework,
I
went
to
the
library
when
I
got
there
an
administrator.
V
V
She
rolled
us
up
and
gave
us
a
speech
about
how
we
cannot
come
to
this
hardy
room
if
we
don't
have
a
classroom,
no
sooner
than
she
said
that
a
group
of
white
boys
came
in
and
asked
if
they
could
sit
in
here,
because
they
had
no
room
to
go
to
and
she's
allowed
it
with
no
referrals
for
them.
I've
also
had
a
teacher
put
items
such
as
erasers
and
pencils,
and
my
hair
during
class
after
I
told
her
not
to
on
multiple
occasions.
V
My
brother,
who
also
has
autism,
has
dealt
with
issues
also
his
freshman
year.
Someone
stole
his
wallet
from
the
locker
room
and
the
school
will
not
investigate
this.
Past
year,
a
couple
of
cheerleaders
were
taunting
him
at
a
football
game
administrators
when
I
do
anything
about
it.
I
confronted
both
cheerleaders
on
the
issue
and
they
filed
police
reports
on
me
to
which
the
school
decided
was
worth
their
time.
Looking
into
once,
they
talked
to
the
cheerleaders.
Every
single
cheerleader
who
was
pulled
into
the
office
lied
about
the
situation
and
were
faced
with
no
repercussions.
V
Other
students
around
the
school
used
to
term
autistic
as
a
derogatory
statement
to
use
against
him
to
which
I
stuck
up
for
him
in
those
situations,
I
believe
that
the
board
of
education
should
enforce
accountability
for
school
administrators
and
personnel
and
create
a
safer
environment
for
learning.
Also
I
miss
some
work
for
this
means.
So
could
you
please
write
me
and
excuse
the
hand
of
my
boss?
Thank
you.
W
Good
evening
board
members
and
dr.
alato,
my
name
is
Jennifer
sours
and
I
am
with
the
Anne
Arundel
County
parent
coalition
tonight
I
represent
over
800
concerned
parents
throughout
our
county.
Over
the
past
three
years,
our
Coalition
has
advocated
for
improved
school
policies,
transparency,
communication
and
safer
school
environments.
W
We
have
attended
countless
meetings
with
administrators
teachers
and
staff
and
have
heard
from
scores
of
parents
with
gut
wrenching
stories
involving
their
children.
It
is
imperative
that
every
dollar
spent
and
every
resource
deployed
in
our
County
is
done
in
the
most
efficient
and
productive
way
possible.
Now,
with
that
said,
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
certificate
of
excellence
and
financial
reporting,
but
I
was
made
aware
that
you
guys
have
just
had
an
audit
by
the
state.
W
Legislature
and
I
am
I'm
gonna
request
that
a
full
audit
be
done
by
an
independent
agency,
because
when
I
pull
up,
the
information
from
the
last
audit
in
2014
says
that
that
ACPs
needs
to
improve
internal
controls,
that
there
were
issues
with
properly
securing
networks
with
critical
data
files,
such
as
those
containing
student
information.
That
information
was
used
from
the
internal
auditors
for
a
CPS.
Instead
of
it
being
independent,
so
he's
trying
to
throw
that
in
there.
W
So
as
far
as
the
audit
goes,
I
am
asking
for
financials
waste
and
mental
health
resources.
Is
every
dollar
being
used
effectively
our
contractors
completing
work
that
they're
being
paid
to
do
or
our
schools
being
maintained
properly?
Are
there
better
ways
to
structure
our
mental
health
resources
and
utilize
crisis
response
in
a
more
proactive
way,
with
over
half
of
the
county's
budget
at
stake
going
to
our
schools?
It
is
urgent
that
officials
understand
how
great
the
need
is.
W
Additionally,
we
are
requesting
the
following
number
one
in
the
current
practice
of
using
internal
school
and
incident
reports
instead
of
the
online
bullying
report.
This
practice
directly
affects
critical
data
that
is
used
to
determine
what
resources
our
children
receive.
Number
two
currently
school
principals
and
some
administrators
enjoy
an
enormous
amount
of
autonomy.
We
ask
that
you,
as
the
Board
of
Education,
established
a
stringent
set
of
guidelines
for
all
schools
across
the
county
to
adhere
to
such
as
every
school
should
receive
the
same
suicide
awareness
resources.
Every
school
should
follow
the
same
communication
protocols.
W
Every
school
should
cooperate
with
crisis
response
on
proactive
efforts
to
address
our
mental
health
crisis.
Leadership
is
everything
number
three
evaluate
the
current
placement
practices
regarding
juvenile
services
and
adjustment
transfers
by
administrators
into
the
student
general
population,
as
well
as
into
any
special
education
programs?
Currently,
the
students
show
up
at
schools
with
no
files
to
guide
staff
only
to
place
them
or
if
there
are
offenses
involved
that
could
jeopardize
other
students.
Safety
can
I
go
on.
W
W
See,
lastly,
we
ask
that
each
of
you
take
the
time
to
review
the
reports
that
I
emailed
you
this
afternoon.
They
include
the
most
recent
youth
suicide
report
resolution
818
that
was
passed
by
County
Council
last
year,
a
schematic
of
the
issues
that
our
Coalition
has
identified
over
the
past
few
years,
title
nine
guidelines,
FERPA,
which
is
the
privacy
laws
and
last
year's
bullying,
harassment
and
intimidation
report
to
the
General
Assembly.
We
are
in
a
state
of
emergency
for
our
children
and
their
mental
health.
W
A
X
Good
evening
my
name
is
Kareem
Frank
I'm,
the
PTA
president
at
bodkin
elementary
school.
Many
parents
have
come
here
to
speak
from
our
cluster
tonight.
Actually
some
of
them
aren't
speaking
but
they're
here,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
issues
that
affect
our
County
and
many
of
them
are
unique
to
our
little
Peninsula.
Last
night,
the
crisis
response
team
came
to
CHS
to
give
a
presentation
on
mental
health
and
the
support
offered
by
the
county.
X
I
know
most
of
the
people
I
have
spoken
with
inside
the
school
system
and
in
our
local
government
support
mental
health
initiatives
and
I
also
know
that
many
of
the
board
members
support
those
initiatives
as
well
and
voted
in
the
most
recent
budget
for
some
support
further
than
what
we
usually
do.
So
I
appreciate
that
I
as
a
parent
would
just
urge
you
to
keep
this
concern
at
the
forefront
of
the
work
of
this
body
and
I
love
the
star
program.
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
I
think
that's
a
fantastic
initiative
and
I.
X
Thank
you
for
your
work
and
concern
in
that
regard.
I
have
also
come
to
this
board
on
a
few
occasions.
Now,
to
ask
for
more
play
time
for
our
young
students
in
the
bodkin
School
District,
especially
our
children,
do
not
get
home
until
4:30
and
for
many
months
of
the
year
they
do
not
have
the
option
for
outside
play
once
they
are
home.
X
We
see
the
rise
of
depression.
We
see
the
decline
of
play
time.
They
may
not
be
unrelated.
What
we're
asking
is
for
students
to
simply
be
allowed
to
be
children
and
play
I
am
also
here
tonight.
In
regards
to
the
positive
lead
testing
in
the
water
of
CBM
s
in
one
of
the
four
consumable
outlets,
it
was
a
locker
room
fountain,
there
was
almost
20
times
the
acceptable
level
of
lead.
X
We
were
promised
two
years
ago
that
our
water
did
not
have
lead
in
it
by
this
body,
and
we
were
assured
that
it
was
tested
several
times
per
week.
Marts
hell
did
the
testing,
then
Martel
did
the
testing.
Now
it
was
the
same
group
who
released
both
results.
Parents
from
High,
Point
alimentary
school
also
reached
out
recently
because
they
had
13
consumable
outlets
that
tested
positive
as
they
are
not
able
to
attend
tonight.
X
If
that's
the
case,
I
would
like
to
reach
out
and
request
a
meeting
with
someone
who
would
be
able
to
explain
all
of
these
discrepancies
on
all
of
these
issues
and
to
discover
whether
or
not
our
children
were
exposed
to
lead
leading
up
to
the
installation
of
the
bottled
water
in
our
school
system
and
to
clarify
the
bottled
water
policies
in
all
school
systems.
I
will
email.
You
tomorrow,
to
request
that
thank
you.
D
Just
because
I'm
unaware,
and
what
is
the
current
bottled
water
policy
and
what
schools
does
it
apply
to?
Is
it
well
water
schools
or
is
it
well
water
and
city
water
schools?
And
what
is
the
current
I
know
it
was,
it
was
something
was
suspended
while
we
were
doing
the
testing,
like
students
who
couldn't
previously
bring
a
water
bottle
from
home
now
could
is
that
still
in
place
absolutely.
D
X
Parents
from
High
Point
Elementary,
which
is
close
by
asked
because
they
knew
I,
was
attending
tonight.
They
do
not
have
bottled
water
to
the
best
of
my
ability,
but
they're
bringing
bottles,
and
they
were
not.
They
were
under
the
impression
that
they
were
not
allowed
to
bring
the
bottles.
Oh
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that,
and
they
asked
me
if
it
wasn't
a
policy
to
please
ask
for
for
that
to
be
changed.
Y
So
good
evening,
president
Gilliland
vice
president
Mireya,
dr.
alario
members
of
board,
my
name
is
Russell
Leone
I'm,
the
president
Teachers
Association.
So
first
of
all,
you
might
have
heard
of
our
little
March
the
March
for
our
schools.
That
happened
last
week
and
I
want
to
thank
the
board
members
that
were
able
to
attend
in
those
that
supported
it.
I
did
see
some
of
you
I'm
kind
of
glad.
I
didn't
run
into
all
of
you
because
it
was
so
well
attended.
Y
8,000
was
the
estimate,
all
all
educators,
support
professionals,
parents,
community
members,
all
standing
up
for
our
students
in
our
schools
and
asking
that
the
state
provide
adequate
funding.
So
we
can
provide
those
good
programs
tonight.
I
also
want
to
highlight
some
of
our
our
teachers
in
our
county.
There
are
some
great
things
going
on
and
I
know
you
guys
all
do
your
community
highlights
in
the
past
couple
of
weeks,
I've
also
had
an
opportunity
to
get
out
and
actually
see
some
of
our
teachers
doing
what
they
do
best
and
so.
Y
First,
on
a
high
like
mrs.
Becky
Huber
from
Point
Pleasant
Elementary,
she
teaches
pre-k
and
I
got
to
go
in
and
volunteer
with
pre-k
students,
and
it
was
really
amazing
to
see
the
avid
strategies
that
they're,
using
even
in
pre-kindergarten
they're,
doing
one-pagers
and
they're
incorporating
science-
and
you
know
so.
I
got
to
sit
with
groups
of
students
in
mrs.
Y
Huber's
class
and
work
on
these
one-pagers
and
they're
working
on
their
their
letter,
sounds
and
and
and
everything
I
did
one-pagers
with
my
fifth
graders
and
my
fourth
graders
I,
never
even
imagined
that
pre-kindergarten
would
be
doing
that.
So
this
is
pretty
incredible.
Stuff
I
also
want
to
highlight
mrs.
Carroll
caught,
miss
Carol
Cox
who's
at
bodkin,
Elementary
she's,
a
Strings
teacher
and
she's
also
mentoring,
an
aspiring
educator,
so
she's
out
there
inspiring
and
leading
our
next
generation
of
educators
and
that's
a
great
thing
to
see.
Y
But
one
of
the
cool
things
that
I
saw
with
her
was
the
quiet
moment
in
between
classes
when
she
would
take
that
individual
time
with
students
to
get
just
those
right
notes
out
and
practice
that
a
little
bit
extra
and
if
you've
ever
sat
with
strings.
They
are
a
constant
revolving
because
they've
got
a
group.
They've
got
like
25
minutes
with
the
group
and
then
it's
like
the
next
group
is
coming
in
and
she
does
that
flawlessly.
I
also
want
to
highlight
two
teachers
at
Linthicum
elementary
school
miss
mrs.
Y
Holt,
who
is
the
Tripoli
teacher,
and
this
is
Miss
Megan
bel-air
and
who
is
their
PE
teacher,
the
in
the
triple
a
each
program,
she's
doing
project-based
learning?
That's
pretty
cool
they're
working
on
currency,
conversions,
world
trade
and
world
culture.
So
it's
it's
really
helping
them
to
be
global
citizens
and
actually
create
world
markets
and
a
Miss
Bell
Erin's
PE
class.
Y
They
were
working
on
cardio
drumming,
which
was
yoga
balls,
big,
pink
cans
and
the
rhythm
sticks
and
I
got
to
jump
in
with
the
students,
and
she
just
led
them
so
well
and
I
got
to
see
a
second
grade,
and
then
she
turns
around
and
not
even
two
minutes
later
she's
with
fourth
grade
doing
the
same
basic
skills,
but
she
differentiated
it
so
well
for
the
students
and
finally,
I
want
to
highlight
mrs.,
miss
Allison
Hines
that
keeps
st.
Claire.
Sorry
can
I
do
a
real,
quick,
she's.
Y
Fourth
grade
and
I
got
to
read
to
her
class,
but
what
was
inspiring
was
to
be
able
to
stick
around
and
watch
her
mission
her
morning
mission
and
building
the
community
that
we
know
is
so
important
for
building
relationships.
There
are
fantastic
things
that
are
going
on
in
our
schools,
not
just
the
big
presentations,
but
in
these
these
everyday
moments,
and
this
is
why
we
stand
up
for
our
teachers,
because
we
want
to
keep
teachers
like
this,
inspired,
motivate
it
and
doing
everything
they
can
for
our
students.

Good
evening
for
the

network
legislation,
Policy
Council,
we
have
a
policy
at
DK
financial
fraud,
waste
and
abuse.
Before
you
on
second
reading,
there
was
no
public
comment
received
on
the
proposed
revisions
to
the
policy
regulation.
However,
I
did
want
to
point
out
that,
as
a
result
of
recommendations
from
mr.
Frederick's
and
board
counsel,
we
did
add
some
language
on
page
2
of
the
regulation,
the
little
eyes
III
and
that
basically
is
a
reference
saying
the
office
of
investigations
and
apprising
a
certain
offices
of
the
outcomes
of
investigation.
A
Z
A
Great,
thank
you.
I
see
no
board
questions.
So
is
there
any
public
comment
seeing
none?
Thank
you
very
much.
When
I
moved
to
item
five
point,
zero.
Three
items
of
legislation,
I
know
we
will
have
some
discussion
on
some
other
topics
momentarily,
but
it
looks
like
we
do
have
one
bill
that
we
need
to
vote
on
tonight.
Senate
bill
1016.
Yes,.
Z
So
I
have
before
you
Senate
bill,
1016
education,
voluntary,
ethical,
special
education
advocate
certificate
program.
This
bill
would
essentially
establish
this
program.
It
would
be
a
voluntary
program,
but
it
would
provide
for
certification
by
the
Maryland
State
Department
of
Education
to
individuals
that
kind
of
put
themselves
out
there
to
be
advocates
and
it
has
training
and
an
online
exam
I'm
in
a
certification
by
MSC,
and
we
just
thought
it
was
a
good
idea
to
have
such
a
program.
Z
It's
moving
in
the
right
direction,
because
you
may
have
individuals
out
there
who
purport
to
be
advocates
or
experts
in
special
education,
but
are
not,
and
so
while
this
is
voluntary,
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
We
just
proposed
some
amendments
to
make
it
even
stronger,
so
the
three
amendments
were
face-to-face
component
to
the
training
clarification
on
what
good
moral
character
would
mean
in
order
to
be
eligible
for
the
certification
and
a
mechanism
for
folks
to
report
to
MSD
any
concerns
that
they
have
with
an
individual.
Z
A
A
U
I
Z
Z
Z
So
this
would
require
MSD
to
establish
the
program,
and
so
it'd
be
an
online
training
or
webinar.
The
individual
has
to
be
21
years
old
would
have
to
be
a
individual
good
moral
character,
which
is
why
one
of
the
recommendation
is
to
kind
of
further
define
what
that
means.
Someone
would
have
to
do
the
training
and
then
follow
up
with
an
online
exam
that
would
all
be
created
by
the
Maryland
State
Department
of
Education
I.
Guess.
I
I
I
Z
Z
Z
J
Mr.
granite
said
that
this
is
just
another
tool
that
parents
could
use
as
their
choosing
advocates
to
come
and
then
also
to
broaden
out
that
advocates.
Don't
just
come
for
IEP
meetings.
They
also
work
with
other
providers
to
help
special
education
can
be,
can
be
complex
and
confusing,
and
to
have
someone
who
has
more
knowledge
can
help
them
navigate
to
understand
the
services
them.
So
it's
not
just
limited
the
school
system.
J
A
G
D
You
so
I
I'm
sure
you
know
and
probably
celebrated
to
that
Senate
bill
128
pass
and
enrolled,
so
for
all
those
out
there
listening
and
then
the
audience
second
time's
a
charm
with
getting
back
at
least
some
local
control
to
develop
our
calendars
for
school
systems
individually
to
develop
calendars
that
meet
unique
needs
and
local
priority,
and
and
all
that
good
stuff,
and
it's
no
secret
to
anyone
up
here.
Anyone
I
have
sat
with
many
times
the
audience
that
this
is
a
hot-button
issue
of
mine
and
it
will
be
coming
up.
D
The
2019
2020
calendar
will
be
coming
back
up
for
further
amendments,
our
edits
in
late
April,
but
I
wanted
to
between
now
and
then
it
would
be
great
to
hear
if
staff
have
any
recommendation
for
the
2019
2020
calendar.
So
doctor
a
lotta,
a
few
have
I
guess
this
is
like
I
know,
fair
warning.
This
is
gonna,
come
back
up
and
so
I
know
what
I
want
and
but
I
would
love
to
also
hear
now
that
we
have
some
flexibility
if
there's
other
things
as
well.
Z
Just
to
add
to
that
so
that
Senate
bill
128
would
just
allow
school
systems
to
it
would
rescind
the
governor's
executive
order,
which
currently
requires
schools
to
start
the
no
earlier
than
the
Tuesday
after
Labor
Day
and
end
by
June
15th
Senate
bill
128,
restores
of
the
authority
back
to
school
system.
So
they
can
decide
to
keep
doing
that
or
not
do
that,
so
it
passed
as
an
emergency
legislation,
and
so
it's
gone
to
the
governor's
just
because
it's
been
sent
to
him
before
the
end
of
session
has
six
days
to
act.
Z
A
the
governor's
does
not
agree
with
the
legislation,
so
we're
expecting
him
to
veto
the
bill,
but
because
it's
emergency
legislation
it
also
has
to
pass
with
three-fifths
vote
and
that's
what
you
need
to
override
a
veto,
and
so
the
expectation
is
that
there
will
be
a
veto
override
of
the
legislation
unless
there's
some
last-minute
defections
on
on
the
bill
and
that's
one
of
a
couple
of
bills
dealing
with
school
calendar
issues
before
the
legislature.
This.
Z
So
there's
another
bill,
House
bill
1070
and
that
deals
with
I'm
Easter,
Monday
and
Presidents
Day
and
actually
had
a
so
that
was
a
House
bill
and
it
passed
out
of
the
full
house,
and
so
that
would
just
allow
schools.
It
would
not
require
Easter,
Monday
and
Presidents
HIV
school
holidays.
Currently
under
Maryland
law
they
are
school
holidays,
and
so
we
must
close,
and
so
it
would
just
leave
them.
Leave
that
up
to
school
systems,
whether
they
decide
to
close.
On
those
two
days.
D
Z
They
were,
you
know
in
session
multiple
times
to
vote
out
legislation
and
so
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
when,
though,
you
know,
if
it's
a
full
24
hours
later,
but
I
would
count
like
day
one
being
Tuesday,
so
Sunday's
do
not
count
so
I
believe
the
governor
would
have
to
act.
If
my
numbers
are
correct
would
be
Monday
no
later
the
next
Monday,
but
I
may
be
wrong.

A

AC
Good
evening
board,
thank
you
very
much
hi
parents,
it's
exciting
to
hear
you
be
at
this
stage
to
finally
make
some
forward
progress,
very
long
overdue
transportation
issues
that
need
to
be
fixed.
So
I
appreciate
that
that
you
could
be
the
board
to
step
up
to
fix
these.
If
you
remember
it
was
2014
five
years
ago,
when
the
task
force
was
convened
by
the
Board
of
Ed,
which
highlighted
the
the
CDC
and
American
Academy
of
Pediatrics
recommendations
that
high
schools
not
start
middle
schools
not
start
before
8:30
a.m.
AC
so
I'm
glad
that
you
can
be
the
board
to
fix
this
issue.
I'd
also
like
to
remind
the
board
of
the
April
2017,
testimony
to
the
board
by
the
principal
teachers
and
parents
of
Meade
Heights
Elementary
I
heard
you
to
watch
that
video
from
April
2017,
where
they
implored
you
to
fix
their
detrimental
9:40
a.m.
starting
Elementary
starting
time
that
was
harming
their
students
learning.
They
explained
that
many
of
their
students,
military
families,
are
in
military
daycare
from
6
a.m.
AC
waiting
for
school
to
start
3
hours
and
40
minutes
later
so
everything
you
can
do
this
fiscal
year
with
this
budget
surplus
to
move
this
contract
forward
will
help
fix
the
long
festering
problem
that
our
students
have
been
in
encountering
military
families.
Don't
want
you
to
do
an
empty.
Thank
you
for
your
service.
They
want
you
to
fulfill
their
needs
and
we
are
honored
to
have
them
in
our
community
and
I
hope
that
we
can
fulfill
the
needs
of
all
students
in
every
level
to
have
safe
and
healthy
hours.
AC
The
College
Admission
scandal
that
has
roiled
and
connected
with
so
many
high
school
parents
has
has
hit
us
because
we
know
how
hard
our
kids
are
stressed
through
the
high
school
experience,
and
so
many
kids
literally
figure
early
figurative,
er,
not
making
it
through,
and
so
what
you
can
do
to
relieve
those
stresses
and
give
them
healthy
and
safe
hours
as
quickly
as
possible
would
be
very
appreciated.
Thank
You.
T
America
America
Fonz
from
start
school
later
I
did
speak
at
the
board
meeting
in
January
about
similar
issues.
I'm
a
physics
professor
from
Anne,
Arundel,
Community
College,
and
also
a
single
parent
of
a
ninth
grade
daughter,
who
attends
brodnik
high
school
she's,
also
in
the
PBA
magnet
program,
I'm
also
on
the
board
of
directors
at
the
Chesapeake
Children's
Museum.
So
a
number
of
other
I'm
hearing
a
number
of
different
capacities
tonight,
I
once
again,
respectfully
asked
the
board
to
consider
later
and
healthier
school
start
times.
T
There
are
numerous
clinical
and
medical
studies
verifying
the
importance
of
later
start
times.
With
regard
to
student,
sleep
cycles,
negative
health
effects,
a
perpetual
sleep
deprivation
due
to
excessively
early
school
start
times
are
well-documented.
In
addition,
the
educational
benefits
of
adequate
sleep
and
healthier
start
times
are
that
it
yields
better
and
more
effective
student
learning.
I
speak
not
only
as
an
educator
as
observed.
The
negative
effects
on
my
students,
who
sometimes
are
frequently
actually
I,
would
say,
don't
do
not
get
adequate
sleep,
but
also
as
a
father
of
the
daughter
who
has
chronic
health
issues.
T
The
early
high
school
start
times
are
not
helping
her
learn
in
an
optimal
way
and,
in
some
respects,
are
making
her
health
issues
worse.
She
often
returns
home
from
school,
so
exhausted.
That's
just
to
take
a
nap
for
two
or
three
hours
after
school
and
the
sleep
deprivation
we've
been
finding
is
leading
now
to
more
frequent
illnesses.
T
Okay,
an
issue
that
continues
to
be
cited
as
a
roadblock
to
changing
school
start
times
has
been
the
bus,
transportation
scheduling.
This,
however,
I
believe
does
not
need
to
be
a
roadblock
there.
Many
school
districts
around
the
country
that
have
found
ways
to
addresses
so
I
want
to
go
now
on
record
as
supporting
the
hiring
of
an
outside
consultant
to
help
with
the
transportation
scheduling.
I
think
this
could
make
a
huge
difference
in
getting
a
transportation
schedule.
Issues
sorted
out.
This
in
turn
would
help.
T
The
excuse
me
help
with
the
process
of
implementing
later
and
healthier
school
start
times.
I
really
believe
that
the
issues
of
school
transportation
and
healthy
start
times
are
clearly
connected
and
I
think
both
issues
can
be
resolved
together
quickly
and
in
a
way
that
does
not
create
a
huge
financial
burden
on
the
county
and
the
reward
ultimately
will
be
healthier
children
who
are
also
better
and
more
effective
learners.
Okay,
thank
you.
M
AD
Right
I'll
be
quick;
this
is
Lisa
Pam
Buskirk
of
start
school
later
in
Orono
Kenny.
Thank
you
for
your
continued
discussion
relative
to
improving
the
customer
service
and
operations
of
the
transportation
department.
We
fully
support
your
efforts
to
hire
an
outside
consultant
to
make
recommendations
for
improving
procedures,
operations
and
bail
time
possibilities
using
the
existing
fund
balance
that
brought
13
million
dollars.
AD
It
is
very
timely
that,
just
this
month
the
Proceedings
of
the
National
Academy
of
Science,
a
study
by
the
massachusetts
institute
of
technology,
was
published
about
school
bus
transportation
in
an
article
and
education
weekly.
This
was
written
and
I
quote
school
start
times
is
not
only
about
busing.
It's
about
many
things.
It's
about
the
life
of
parents,
it's
about
the
health
of
teenagers
and
it's
about
equity
in
the
system.
AD
In
most
districts,
transportation
in
school
start
times
are
intricately
connected
and
difficult
to
change,
even
as
school
populations
ebb
and
flow
over
time
that
makes
bus
systems
less
efficient,
more
expensive
and
often
biased.
In
favor
of
wealthier
on
plates,
the
research
found
low
income
high
school
students
were
more
likely
to
face
early
start
times
than
their
wealthier
peers.
AD
End
quote,
and
we
could
say
that
this
disparity
doesn't
really
apply
to
a
knurled
kind
of
schools,
because
all
of
our
high
school
start
at
7:30,
but
then
we'd
have
to
remember
that
Phoenix
Academy
starts
at
7:23
and,
as
I've
testified
before
one
of
Phoenix
academies,
buses
picks
up
at
5:45
for
a
71
71
minute
long
bus
ride
and
arrives
27
minutes
before
its
spell.
So
it's
this
and
other
similar
inefficiencies
that
I
believe
an
outside
consultant
can
help
a
a
CPS,
better,
identify
and
correct.
AD
AD
This
would
allow
you
a
few
months
to
hash
it
out
and
consider
the
benefits
of
those
schedules
and
the
impacts
that
must
be
mitigated
by
those
different
schedules
and
once
you've
narrow
down
your
choices,
you
can
incorporate
any
budget
request
into
your
fiscal
year,
2021
budget
cycle
to
be
implemented
in
the
twenty.
Twenty-One
twenty-two
school
year,
updated
cost
estimates
could
provided
to
you
by
the
consultant
in
February
to
make
it
all
work.
So
I
really
thank
you
for
moving
this
discussion
forward.
AD
L
If
I
could
clarify
for
the
board
and
those
watching
I'm,
miss
Van
Buskirk
stated
that
that
the
monies
for
this
RFP
would
be
coming
from
the
13
million
dollar
fund
balance
that
we
would
carry
over
and
I'm,
not
sure
where,
where
you
got
that
from,
but
that's
not
in
the
RFP
I
just
want
to
clarify
me,
but
it's
listening.
There's
no
there's
no
dollar
amount
associated
RFP.
Nor
is
there
any
place
that
we've
a
debt
identified
where
the
money
might
come
from
to
pay
for
this.
L
A
AE
AE
L
If
you're,
asking
the,
if
is
because
it
has
been
finalized,
has
been
finalized,
it's
not
out
on
the
street.
We
haven't
identified
a
funding
source.
It's
it's
in
a
preliminary
stage
right
now,
and
also
this
RFP
is
well
beyond
software.
This
is
a
this
is
a
pretty
comprehensive
look
a
transportation
for
Aaron
County,
it's
well
beyond
software.
We.
AE
AE
D
Yes,
I
want
to
address
that.
This
is
a
very
important
first
step.
One
of
the
reasons
why
I
think
it's
important
is
because
we
have
such
late
starting
Elementary
School's,
my
daughter,
you're,
going
to
sign,
go
to
school
together.
I
feel
the
pain
every
day
it
starts
at
935.
It
gets
out
at
4:00
and
the
winter.
Thankfully,
it's
not
winter
anymore
and
there's
still
daylight,
there's
no
outside
time
to
play,
because
it's
getting
dark.
D
So
I
see
this
as
a
very
important,
very
needed
first
step
to
address
the
whole
of
the
Transportation
Department
and
to
really
establish
you
know.
If
there
are
inefficiencies,
if
they're
not
in
efficiencies,
it
will
give
us
all
the
whole
breadth
of
information
as
well
as
options
for
scenarios
and
read
options
to
see
what
it
would
cost
to
to
correct
start
times
or
to
move
them
in
any
form
or
fashion.
So
again,
I
am
so
happy
that
we're
at
this
point
and
but
I
have
a
little
bit
of
a
question
for
mr.
Scheck
Novick.
D
There
was
a
suggestion
that
we
have
an
interim
recommendation
about
the
late
starting
elementary
schools,
and
I
wonder
is
that
can
that
be?
Is
that
built
into
the
second
from
the
bottom
points
that
reads,
recommendations
and
costs
associated
with
changing
start
engines?
Can
that
be
just
wrapped
up
into
that?
So
we
don't
have
to
further
amend
what
we
have
going.
I
was
just
curious
about
that.
AB
Good
evening,
once
again,
as
I
testified
two
weeks
ago,
I
indicated
that
this
is
essentially
a
eight
page,
shell
of
probably
what's
going
to
be
a
40
plus
page
document.
So
there
are
certainly
opportunities
to
make
amendments
now,
and
certainly,
as
is
customary
when
an
RFP
or
solicitation
is
out
on
the
streets
at
every
questions,
or
should
we
want
to
make
other
modifications?
We
can
issue
addenda
to
the
solicitation
and
have
the
respondents
respond
back
to
that.
AB
R
B
D
To
to
avoid
tweaking
that,
is
that
a
minor
detail
that
can
be
wrapped
into
that?
Second,
to
the
last
point
about
recommendations
associated
with
changes
to
school,
start
and
dismissal
times,
I
really
I
really
love
what
we
have
here
and
I'm
hopeful
that
it
does
not
that
that
specific
point
doesn't
require
another
well.
Do
you
think
it
would
require
another
bullet
at
this
point,
I.
AB
D
AA
Poses
question
to
mr.
Shack:
no
vision,
ma'am
I,
understood
your
question
to
be:
is
the
current
implementation
of
the
software
at
least
providing
some
information
that
could
lead
to
a
revision
of
schedules
such
that
high
schools
could
start
later
and
elementary
schools
could
let
out
earlier
and
the
reason
why
I'm
restating
that
question
is
if
it
doesn't
have
something
to
do
with
discipline
of
a
child
or
a
particular
labor
dispute,
or
something
that
could
come
before
us
I?
AA
AB
So
currently,
our
efforts
are
not
designed
to
operate
these
software
so
as
to
effect
start
and
stop
times
this
upcoming
September
we're
looking
for
efficiencies
and
routing
to
make
sure
that
the
software
is
running
proficiently
that
it's
producing
schedules
that
are
accurate
and
timely,
etc.
Is
the
goal
of
the
it
is
the
operating
plan
mission
priority
number
one
today
for
me
and
my
team
to
change
start
times
of
a
high
school
come
September
1
of
2019.
The
answer
to
that
is
no,
so.
AA
AB
What
it's
changed
currently,
what
it's
covering
is
the
absorption
of
the
increased
cost
with
transportation,
we're
increasing
headcount
or
increasing
programmatic
offerings
the
miles
and
hours
that
we
drive
each
and
every
year
continued
to
increase.
When
you
pass
your
budget
recently,
you
didn't
have
a
line
item
specifically
asking
for
additional
funding
for
transportation,
so
our
transportation
costs
are
going
up
we're
trying
to
operate
the
system
as
effectively
and
efficiently
as
we
can
without
having
to
go
to
the
county,
to
ask
for
yet
more
funding
so
again.
AB
We're
trying
to
make
sure
that
this
that
the
software
is
running
as
designed
and
intended
we're
utilizing
it
to
the
buses
to
the
best
of
our
abilities,
make
sure
that
the
routes
and
the
times
and
the
stops
are
affiliated
with
each
of
the
youngsters.
They
were
required
to
transport.
We're
going
to
be
importing.
All
of
the
new
students
addresses
the
students
that
come
to
us
new
for
this
upcoming
year.
AB
We're
going
to
be
changing
the
grade
level
configuration
so
as
youngsters
matriculate
from
fifth
grade
to
sixth
grade
or
go
from
half-day
k2,
full-day,
K
or
eighth
grade
to
ninth
grade.
All
of
those
changes
are
going
to
be
effectuated
in
a
software,
so
there's
an
operational
part
of
it
to
make
sure
that
the
that
the
trains
arrive
at
the
stations
you
know
on-time
and
efficiently
and
again,
to
the
extent
that
we
can
identify
efficiencies.
They're
used
to
cover
costs.
AB
I
indicated
that
the
greatest
efficiency
probably
is
going
to
come
a
little
bit
later,
and
that's
going
to
be
the
consolidation
or
elimination
of
potentially
hundreds.
If
not
thousands,
of
bus
stops
in
accounting.
The
expectation
is
that
if
you
can
walk
them
out
through
your
school,
you
should
be
able
to
walk
up
to
a
mile
to
your
bus
stop.
AB
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
contemplating
is
asking
the
software
to
analyze
all
of
our
bus
stops
in
such
manner,
certainly
by
eliminating
hundreds,
if
not
thousands
of
community
stops,
we
could
possibly
identify
large
efficiencies
in
that
case,
that
can
be
then
redeployed
to
potentially
looking
at
altering
start
times
or
things
like
that.
That
is
not
the
work
plan
for
this
upcoming
September.
However,
it
is
something
to
rying
for
for
a
following
for
calendar
or
academic
year,
so.
AA
Just
to
restate
your
answer
in
simpler
terms
and
I
hope
this
answers.
Your
question
as
currently
implemented
in
the
software
is
mostly
about
trying
to
do
more
with
a
finite
amount
of
resources
in
terms
of
school
transportation.
That's
that
was
basically
answer
now.
This
other
thing
you're
saying
about
potentially
using
it
to
help
identify
elimination
of
hundreds
or
I
think
even
said.
Essentially,
thousands
of
bus
stops
based
on
the
idea
that
a
student,
if
they
can
walk
a
mile
to
school,
they
can
walk
a
mile
to
a
bus,
stop.
AB
AA
Currently
in
policy
right,
okay,
look
that
that
that
that
that's
news
to
me
so
the,
but
that
obviously
would
be
presented
to
this
board
before
any
any
elimination
of
bus
stop
started
happening
with
the
idea.
Then
students
would
walk
a
mile
now
to
their
bus,
stop
and
then
have
to
go
from
the
bus
stop
on
the
bus
to
school.
That's.
AB
AA
AB
An
ardent
offer
that
that
was
the
same,
but
that
is
what's
currently
we've
been
tasked
with
maximizing
the
efficiencies
to
try
to
wring
out
as
many
economies
and
efficiencies
from
the
transportation
systems
that
then
redeploy
it
to
changing
start
times
and
I'm
telling
the
board,
through
my
testimony
that
the
way
to
get
the
maximum
amount
of
efficiency
ring
out
of
the
system
is
through
the
elimination
and
consolidation
of
bus
stops.
That
is
the
highest
return
for
change
ratio
within
a
transportation
software
implementation
system.
Okay,.
AA
L
I'll
remind
the
board
that
this
is
mr.
grant.
Oh
boy,
this
is
not
a
new
conversation,
I
mean
since
the
the
concept
of
us
getting
the
software
and
which
company
we
would
use
and
in
the
purchase
of
the
software
and
the
end.
The
initial
implementation
has
been
said.
There's
been
a
number
of
transportation
updates
to
this
board
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
that
has
been
stated
on
a
number
of
occasions
that
the
greatest
efficiencies
are
going
to
be
found
in
eliminating
bus
stops.
I
AA
I
A
Just
as
we've
got
a
motion
on
the
table,
we
can
get
to
a
next
agenda.
Item
later.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
crossing
parliamentary
procedure
wise
because
we
have
Michaan's
motion.
You
know
we
want
to
talk
about
agenda.
We
can
do
it.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
what
we
need
to
get
formal
motion.
So
short,
that's
what
I
mean
so
I
don't
want
to
have
one
motion
Trump
another
and
then
we
get
lost.
D
A
D
Also
want
to
put
on
the
record
that
that
is
also
news
to
me
at
least
and
I.
Imagine
it's
news
to
the
five
new
members
sitting
on
this
board.
I
would
be
absolutely
against
that
I.
Don't
want
to
draw
out
transportation
time,
whether
it's
by
foot
by
bike,
by
course,
by
bus
to
school.
The
the
whole
point
is
to
minimize
the
things,
at
least
from
my
point
of
view,
or
else
it's
no
better
off
than
then
kids
getting
driven
and
clogging
up
roads.
So
that
was
news
to
me
that
and
I
agree
with
mr.
D
A
I
again,
the
board
lights
are
lighting
up
now
and
board
members
take
take
priority.
I
had
asked
for
public
comment,
and
then
you
were
the
first
to
push
your
button.
So
let's
let
the
board
members
comment.
While
mr.
Schock
Nova
is
here
miss
Oakes,
we
will
come
to
you.
So
thank
you.
Mr.
granite
again,
yeah.
AB
This
was
a
scoping
document.
It
is
not
sufficiently
detailed
so,
for
example,
many
of
the
items
we
would
add,
for
example,
who
add
prohibitions
against
smoking
on
board
policy
on
board
property,
will
put
the
Fort
Meade
access
provisions
will
put
conflict
of
interest.
Provisions
will
put
sexual
offender
prohibition.
So
again,
this
is
a
skeleton.
This
is
a
stay
scoping
document
as
a
working
document
for
us
before
it
would
go
out
on
the
street.
It
would
have
all
of
the
legalese
term
and
conditions
layered
onto
and
wrapped
around,
what's
existing
before
you,
okay.
AA
A
R
J
I,
just
I
I
think
we
might
be
jumping
a
gun
of
the
gun
a
bit
on
this,
the
walking
the
mile
to
the
bus.
Stop
because
what
I
heard
mister
scheck
Novak's
say
was.
He
was
talking
about
how
we're
utilizing
the
software
moving
forward
and
that
one
of
the
goals
would
be
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong.
Mr.
sangwich,
but
I
heard
you
say
that
you
would
use
the
software
to
run
scenarios
of
bus
stops.
You
know
I
would
imagine
progressively
longer.
J
J
It
wasn't
necessarily
saying
that
we
would
make
it
be
there,
but
that
we
would
have
data
to
compare
saying
if
we
made
it
now,
it's
going
to
be
X
amount
of
time
or
you
know,
X
amount
of
walk
or
whatever.
It's
not
saying
specifically
we're
gonna
make
every
bus
stop
a
mile,
but
that
that
is
a
scenario
and
additional
information
that
we
can
gain
from
the
software
moving
forward
would
be
different,
different
parts
in
that
that's,
that
was
what
I
understood
it
to
be.
J
Within
the
system,
not
necessarily
commitment
to
saying
we're,
gonna
make
the
stops
at
a
mile
walk
because
I'm
gonna
say
to
I,
wouldn't
necessarily
I'm,
not
for
a
mile
walk
to
the
bus,
stop
either,
but
that's
valuable
data
for
us
to
have
to
say
what,
if
we,
you
know
if
we
we've
got
I
know
in
my
neighborhood,
we
have
dozens
of
buses
that
come
through
what
if
we
have
the
children
walk
to
more
blocks?
You
know
that's
a
quarter
of
a
mile
more.
J
J
C
I've
been
listening
and
watching
and
observing
this
and
perhaps
I'm
a
little
confused.
My
understanding
was
that
the
transportation
RFP
was
to
conclude
and
recommend
the
things
that
we
are
now
discussing
and
although
I
do
appreciate
the
optics
of
that
and
the
revelation,
it
would
certainly
carry.
It
sounds
like
to
future
conversations.
C
I'll
just
remind
the
board
that
we
are
now
currently
under
a
motion
to
adopt
this
with
the
understanding
that
was
reported
by
staff,
that
this
was
a
she'll
scope
and
that,
during
the
course
of
the
expansion
that
we
would
be
consulted
with,
and
so
I
would
strongly
suggest
that,
instead
of
us
debating
and
item
not
currently
on
the
agenda,
that
staff
is
not
prepared
to
fully
review
with
us
that
we
focus
on
Michelle
Himes
motion
because
I
believe
there
will
the.
Although
that
information
is
very
important
and
relevant.
C
C
C
AF
A
school
has
with
others.
This
is
an
issue.
I
have
testified
on
for
several
years
to
I,
just
to
quickly
talk
on
behalf
of
elementary
schools,
who
are
in
full
support
of
high
schools
later
start
times,
while
making
sure
elementary
schools
get
earlier
school
start
times.
As
I
said
two
years
ago,
any
parent
knows
there
is
a
big
difference
between
pre
adolescents
and
adolescents
and
by
moving
elementary
schools.
AF
AF
AA
Just
a
quick
I
have
a
substantive
comment,
but
it's
a
quick
I
guess
it's
a
point
of
order.
I
I
understood
miss
Shaw,
hi
I'm,
to
say
that,
due
to
the
skeletal
nature
of
this
document,
she
was
actually
withdrawing
her
motion
at
this
time.
I'll
set
that
aside
for
the
moment,
I'd
if
we
make
it
abundantly
I,
want
to
make
it
abundantly
clear.
I
want
to
make
it
abundantly
clear
that
I,
don't
I,
don't
think
I
need
a
clarification.
Mr.
AA
Shack
Nova's
testimony
I
think
I
understood
him
to
say
that
that
is
absolutely
a
potential
application
of
software.
I
did
not
understand
him
to
say
that
that
is
absolutely
going
to
happen.
What
I
want
to
make
crystal
clear
to
everyone
in
this
room
is
my
view,
and
now
it's
been
seconded
by
at
least
one
other
board.
Member
so
does
going
to
happen.
AA
Is
that
before
a
one
bus
stop
before
one
bus,
stop
is
eliminated,
based
on
the
premise
that
a
student
can
walk
one
mile
to
that
bus,
stop
and
then
ride
the
bus
to
school
you're.
You
are
going
to
report
to
us
on
each
and
every
one
of
those.
Yes,
you
will,
because
we
set
policy
and
an
order
set
policy.
We
have
to
have
the
information
and
if
you
all,
do
that
I
for
one
I'm
going
to
make
a
motion
to
change
that
policy.
D
Gladly
restate
the
motion:
I
did
not
withdraw
my
emotion
at
any
time.
I
am
very
excited
about
the
scope
of
work.
This
is
an
important
first
step
that
has
to
happen
two
nights
after
we
approve
this
I
do
want
to
get
it
right
back
on
the
agenda
for
the
next
meeting
for
to
evaluate
next
steps
on
how
we
proceed
once
said,
scope
has
been
hopefully
approved
and
so
I
know.
It's
I
think
your
denim
was
to
have
this
fully
fleshed
out.
But
how
about
we
do
this?
How
about
we?
My
motion?
D
B
D
A
D
Sorry
for
the
confusion,
but
let's
just
go
ahead
and
restate
it
for
the
for
the
record,
and
yes,
there
was
a
little
bit
of
back-and-forth
you,
but
right
now,
I
think
I
got
it
I
want.
The
motion
is
to
approve
the
scope
of
work
as
it's
set
out
after
we
do
that
I
have
some
other
things
I'd
like
to
add.
So
that's
them.
I,
move
to
approve,
said
scope
of
work.
Okay,
great.
A
AA
B
D
What
does
it
take
to
see
this
in
its
full,
not
skeleton,
but
the
full
kit
and
caboodle
like
what
time
wise
like
is
that
are
all
these
things
that
you
add
to
an
RP
standard
text
that
you
just
copy
and
paste
and
then
behold
there's
the
forty
page
document
or
is
that
gonna
take
a
substantial
amount
of
work
and
I?
Ask
that
so
I
can
you
can
manage
my
expectation,
so
we
can
add
this
to
an
upcoming
agenda.
Accordingly,.
AB
So
essentially,
I
characterize
it
as
the
kit
of
parts.
So
you
know
we
have
standard
phraseology,
so
we
would
go
through
that
inventory
that
kit
of
parts
and
glue
them
together
a
court
in
the
right
order
and
wrap
them
around
the
material
that
you
have
before
you.
So
we're
not
we're
not
all,
but
this
scoping
part
is
taking
clean
sheets
of
paper
and
writing
language
and
knew
the
items
that
I'm
talking
about
are
basically
taking
from
pre-established
Kida
parts
and
then
appending
them
to
what's
here
the
the
hard
part
was
this
not
the
next.
That's.
D
Good
to
know
so
then
I
then
I'm
just
gonna,
add
an
agenda
item
to
and
please
don't
please
don't
print
this
for
me.
I
don't
need
to
see
it
in
its
full
breath
other
than
electronically,
perhaps
but
to
to
have
that
available
for
the
April
3rd
meeting
and
then
have
board
discussion
about
timeline
for
where
we
go
from
there
to
what
it
would
take
to
get
it
from
full
breath
to
out
on
the
street
yeah.
Okay,
so
do
I
have
a
second
for
that
agenda.
I!
Don't
thank
you!
Okay,.

We
any
solicitation
is
reviewed
for
responsiveness,
responsible,
Ness,
reasonability,
etc.
So
there's
a
a
due
diligence
part
that
the
purchasing
team
and
the
using
agency,
in
this
case
transportation,
for
example,
would
undertake
before
a
recommendation,
came
back
to
the
board
for
an
award
item.
Okay,.
J
AB
So
a
minimum
would
be
1:21,
I'm,
sorry
and
that's
generally
considered
to
be
compliant
with
the
state
law,
but
depending
on
the
complexity
of
a
solicitation
that
may
not
be
sufficient
to
get
it
broadcasted
to
allow
the
community
to
absorb
it,
the
price
that
etc.
Also,
if
it's
an
item
that
is
of
a
more
complex
nature,
then
sometimes
we
will
have
a
pre-bid
meeting
that
we
will
allow
prospective
offers
to
come
in,
ask
questions,
get
clarifications,
etc.
AB
So,
again,
the
the
more
complex
a
lot,
the
solicitation,
the
longer
you
want
to
have
it
out
there
on
the
street,
because
the
probably
the
worst
thing
that
can
happen
is
to
have
an
offer
incorrectly
digests
your
expectations
or
incorrectly
price.
There
are
service
offerings,
that's
where
contracts
typically
go
awry
and.
AB
J
Kind
of
I
mean
I
am
really
pleased
with
the
breadth
of
the
scope
of
this
and
I.
Think.
If
we're
going
to
do
transportation,
we
need
to
look
at
every
single
element.
That's
in
there
and
I'm
I
agree.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
done
right
and
that
we
have
people
that
are
qualified,
that
whoever
is
bidding
is
realizes,
this
the
magnitude
of
it
and
it's
capable
of
doing
what
we're
asking
for
it.
So
thank
you.
Mr.
