I
want
to
welcome
dr
mcmahon
to
the
podium
today
or
the
deus
dr
alado
is
out
sick
today,
and
I
also
want
to
welcome
lucia
cole.
Our
new
student
board
members
out
there
in
the
audience
somewhere
there.
She
is
welcome
and
congratulations.

In
the
creative
world
of
education
today,
students
can
construct
and
demonstrate
their
understanding
in
many
ways.
Traditionally,
they
are
asked
to
communicate
their
learning
through
a
report
or
or
on
a
test.
However,
when
they
are
involved
in
arts
integration,
their
learning
is
evident
in
the
products
they
create,
such
as
the
dance
painting
or
dramatization.
B
Pat
passionately
believes
that
integrating
the
arts
is
the
best
approach
to
teaching
as
it
enriches.
The
classroom
environment
with
the
arts
engages
students
and
motivates
learning
pat's
mission
is
to
help
all
teachers
realize
that
they
can
teach
through
the
arts.
Her
professional
development
strategies
help
teachers
rethink
the
roles
they
play
and
their
relationship
with
students.
Those
who
work
with
pat
are
constantly
inspired
by
her
creativity,
enthusiasm
and
dedication
to
the
arts.
Pat
coordinates
a
variety
of
opportunities
for
teachers
to
learn
about
and
immerse
themselves
in
arts
integration.
B
Pat
kloss
learning
through
the
arts
is
a
dynamic
way
to
engage
students
as
it
lets
them,
use
their
imagination
and
creativity
as
their
methodology
of
learning.
Each
and
every
day,
arts
integration
is
for
any
subject
anytime.
So,
for
these
reasons
and
more,
the
board
is
proud
to
honor
and
recognize
you
educator
of
the
month
for
may
2017..

Each
morning
in
the
jacobsonville
elementary
school
media
center,
debbie
stanley
juggles
checking
books
out
helping
students
and
teacher
find
materials
running
the
morning
news
and
giving
quizzes
to
students
on
the
books.
They
read
she's
also
responsible
for
creating
records
for
new
books
that
come
into
the
library,
a
task
at
which
she
saw
meticulously
that
jacobsonville
has
never
had
material
flagged
as
having
an
incomplete
record.
H
H
She
volunteered
to
participate
in
the
school's
book
buddy
program
which
matches
staff
members
with
young
students
in
need
of
extra
practice
with
sounds
letters
and
reading.
She
not
only
contributed
to
her
body's
academic
growth,
but
the
relationship
she
created
has
a
lasting
impact
on
his
social
and
emotional
growth
as
well,
no
matter
what
the
activity.
Mrs
stanley
is
always
the
first
person
to
sign
up
to
help
when
the
call
to
volunteer
goes
out.
H
In
addition,
her
service
extends
to
the
surrounding
community,
as
she
serves
as
team
captain
for
the
school's
relay
for
life,
team
spending,
countless
hours,
planning,
fundraiser
events
and
serving
on
the
event
leadership
team.
Mrs
stanley
is
a
professional
always
completing
her
task
to
the
highest
degree.
She
enjoys
participating
in
professional
development
opportunities
to
bolster
her
own
skills.
H
She
takes
great
pride
in
the
library
that
she
has
helped
to
create
nurturing
the
welcoming
climate
for
students
and
teachers
and
broadening
the
library
collection,
debbie
stanley.

of
the
board

education,
we
are
pleased

you
as
employee
of
the
month
for
may
2017..
I
Just
we
have
an
awesome
team
at
our
school.
We
set
a
goal.
This
year
was
our
tenth
year
to
raise
over
ten
thousand
dollars
and
we've
done
over
eleven
thousand
dollars
this
year.
I
You
my
husband,
is
here:
my
son
is
here
my
stepmom
and
my
step:
sister

jen
richards
from
our
school,
the
media
specialist
and
our
assistant,
principal
jenn
schweikert
and

our
special

So

do.

I
K
K
Mrs
donna
howard,
you
are
that
exceptional
avid
tutor,
whom
the
board
of
education
is
proud
to
honor.
Today,
as
our
may
2017
volunteer
of
the
month
avid
site
coordinator,
miss
bethany
swajak
writes
every
tuesday
and
thursday.
Mrs
howard
can
be
found
working
intensely
with
sixth,
seventh
and
eighth
grade
avid
students
and
assisting
their
teachers.
K
K
Thanks
to
her
stacy
stamp's,
quick
transition
from
a
phys
ed
teacher
in
the
gym
to
the
avid
instructor
in
the
health
classroom
is
now
worry
free.
She
goes
all
out.
Mrs
damp
exclaims
tutoring
groups
are
listed
on
white
boards,
so
the
students
immediately
know
where
to
go
and
all
supply
caddies
are
well
stocked.
This
is
a
huge
help
to
me.
Mrs
howard
further
assists
teachers
and
students
by
checking
homework
and
classroom
quality
classwork
quality
while
effectively
guiding
guiding
students

holtzman
avid
elective
and
facts
teacher
admires
mrs
howard's
ability
to
bring
her
experiences
to
the
avid
tutoring
setting.
I've
always
been
impressed
by
her
skill
as
an
avid
tutor
and
as
an
instructional
partner
with
me.
I
mostly
enjoy
her
warm
cheerful
and
engaging
attitude
as
she
helps
each
student
accomplish
their
tutoring
objective,
bethany
swajk
agrees
through
adept
use
of
the
rigorous
inquiry-based
avid
tutorial
process.
K
Mrs
howard
leads
our
students
to
deeper
understanding
of
their
questions.
Her
encouraging
demeanor
significantly
contributes
to
our
positive,
avid
classroom.
Climate
principal
kimberly
winterbottom
wholeheartedly
endorses
the
volunteer
of
the
month
award
for
mrs
howard.
She
writes
by
building
positive
relationships
with
our
students.
Mrs
howard
impacts
our
students
in
positive
ways
that
will
stay
with
them
long
after
they
leave
marley.
K
K
K
D
K
A
And
we'll
take
some
pictures
of
all
of
you
at
the
break
shortly.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
2.09,
school
and
community
highlights.
Before
I
go
into
that,
I
neglected
to
mention
that
our
real
student
board
member,
our
current
student
board
member,
is
taking
ap
exams,
so
she'll
be
back
next
time
and
we
wish
her
the
best
of
luck
today,
and
I
also
did
want
to
acknowledge
that
this
is
teacher
appreciation
week.
A
So
if
you
have
not
taken
time
to
appreciate
a
teacher
this
week,
I
would
encourage
you
to
get
one
of
those
old-fashioned
pens
and
paper.
Note
cards
out
and
write
a
handwritten
note.
Teachers
love
those
sorts
of
mementos.
They
keep
them
in
their
files
forever.
So
take
some
time
and
thank
a
teacher
this
week
before
the
weekends
all
right
do
we
have
any
highlights.
B
B
So
all
these
areas
of
giving
back
the
arts
are
alive
and
well
in
anne
arundel,
as
our
educator
of
the
month
showed
and
dance
night
at
glen,
burnie
high
school
was
fabulous
with
the
array
of
of
things
they
had
did
you
know
that
we
have
a
class
dance
for
athletes,
love
it,
and
so
some
of
the
athletes
were
up
dancing.
They
were
really
good.
B
I
don't
know
what
their
sport
was,
but
they
were
very
good
at
dance
and
the
little
mermaid
production
at
north
county
high
school
was
excellent,
so
that
the
the
stage
craft
that
our
students
have
and
the
sets
that
they
design
are
amazing.
It
was
quite
impressive
scholarships
for
scholars
scholarships
that
we
give.
We
gave
to
dozens
of
our
students
last
week
and
that
was
so
impressive.
That's
the
retired
teachers
association
is
involved
with
that
and
many
of
our
other
community
partners,
and
it
was
great
to
see
some
of
our
outstanding
students
recognized
yesterday.
B
I
attended
the
recognition
ceremony
for
our
cat,
south
students
and,
if
you
ever
want
to
be
impressed
and
feel
confident
about
who
is
going
out
into
our
workforce,
you
need
to
go
to
one
of
our
cat
centers
and
see
what
they're
doing
these
students
were
recognized
for
and
received
certifications
in
a
variety
of
careers
across
across
the
board.
They
are
headed
straight
into
the
workforce.
Many
of
them
one
young
lady,
has
completed
three
certification
programs
and
her
associate's
degree.
B
She
is
graduating
from
high
school
this
month
and
is
already
a
junior
at
the
university
of
maryland.
I
mean
it's
an
impressive
crew
and
she
is
well
on
her
way
to
entering
the
medical
field,
and
she
was
just
one
example
of
the
amazing
students
that
we
have
have
there,
dr
arlatto
and
myself
and
some
other
of
the
school
staff,
as
well
as
staff
from
msde
was
able
week
bef
last
week
to
visit
severna
park
elementary
and
their
fabulous
principal
lynn
burris.
B
They
have
been
recognized
as
one
of
the
outstanding
gifted
and
talented
programs
in
the
state,
and
so
she
highlighted
for
us
all
the
great
extracurriculars
and
advanced
enrichment
programs
that
they
have
at
severna
park
elementary,
and
I
know
all
of
our
schools
offer
those
things
several
park
was
just
an
excellent
showcase
to
put
them
out
there.
But
it
really
is
impressive
to
see
everything.
That's
going
on
to
challenge
our
students
in
so
many
different
ways
there.
As
she
said.
What
is
what
makes
a
successful
teacher?
B
Is
it
magic
or
is
it
skill
and
it's
a
combination
of
the
two
and
definitely
at
severna
park?
You
could
see
the
magic
working
in
the
classrooms
and
then
yesterday
was
really
exciting.
Miss
burge
and
I
were
able
to
go
for
the
kickoff
of
crab
radio,
which
is
the
new
school
system
radio
station
in
conjunction
with
maryland
hall,
and
we're
looking
for
it'll,
be
student
programming
and
we're
looking
forward
to
when
it
becomes
totally
student-run
so
104.7.
B
If
you're
in
the
annapolis
area,
it's
not
a
super
strong
signal
but
you'll
be
able
to
get
that
and
you'll
hear
our
students
performing
and
doing
so.
That's
really
exciting,
so
that
was
very
fun
to
see.
We
wanted
to
push
all
the
buttons,
but
we
didn't,
but
because
we
don't
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
pay
for
it
if
we
broke
it,
but
the
crab
radio
is
very
exciting.
So
looking
forward
to
that
partnership.
K
K
J
There
is
if,
if
you
actually
go
to
that
site,
there
is
a
qr
code
and
you
can
actually
find
out
if
you
have
an
idea:
community,
member
teacher,
parent
and
students.
If
you
have
an
idea,
you
can
actually
put
it
up
and
and
we'll
look
at
it
and
see
if
it's
radio
ready
thanks.
So.
K
I
also
had
the
opportunity
to
go
to
scholarship
for
scholars,
and
that
is
an
amazing
event
to
see
what
the
students
in
our
county
have
done
when
they're
in
high
school
and
what
they're
going
to
be
doing
it's
it's
phenomenal
just
what
these
kids
are
able
to
accomplish.
I
didn't
understand
some
of
the
things
that
they've
accomplished,
because
it's
a
little
over
my
head,
but
that's
fantastic.
That's
wonderful!
That's
the
way
it
should
be.
K
Also
we
haven't
mentioned
that
we
had
the
teacher
of
the
year
awards
last
week
and
what
an
amazing
group
of
teachers
it
was.
I
can't
imagine
being
on
the
selection
committee
that
must
have
been
very
difficult,
but
congratulations
to
everyone
who
was
nominated,
but
in
particular
to
josh
carroll
from
south
river
high
school,
who
is
our
teacher
of
the
year
from
anne
arundel
county?
Who
will
go
on
to
represent
anne
arundel
county
at
the
state
teacher
of
the
year
competition?
H
A
And
I
just
want
to
add
that
we
had
the
pta
founders
day
event
and
which
was
fantastic
in
a
new
format
and
were
we
really
enjoyed
our
evening
and
honoring
pta.
So
thank
you
guys,
mrs
hummer.
B
One
more
thing
about
crab
radio:
this
has
been
a
multi-year
project
to
get
there
and
one
of
the
things
only
in
our
area
that
when
you
run
into
roadblocks
sometimes
or
the
challenges
you
have
to
overcome
as
they're
trying
to
work
on
the
tower
and
get
things
they
had
to
work
around
osprey
mating
season,
because
if
they
climbed
the
osprey,
we're
mating
and
if
you
went
up
there,
they
would
kind
of
if
they
were
in
the
midst
of.
N
Hi
good
morning,
melanie
tiger,
chair
of
the
cac,
we
continue
to
meet
the
second
monday
of
every
month,
seven
to
nine
pm,
although
we
skipped
april
because
it
was
during
spring
break
and
we
thought
that
might
be
our
last
long
spring
break.
So
we
skipped
april,
but
we
will
have
our
last
meeting
of
the
year
this
coming
monday,
seven
to
nine
pm
here
in
the
board
room.
As
you
know,
we
have
five
subcommittees
working
on
various
items
this
year
to
remind
you,
those
are
equity,
best
transportation,
wellness
and
life
skills,
communication
and
testing.
N
Our
subcommittees
are
finalizing
the
work
for
the
year
and
we
plan
to
submit
a
consolidated
written
report
to
the
board.
Our
goal
is
31
may,
because
that
will
be
a
week
in
advance
of
when
I
hope
to
brief
you
at
the
7
june
board
meeting
so
you'll
be
expecting
those
in
about
a
month's
time
this
year.
In
addition
to
the
subcommittee
work,
we've
pursued
two
other
items
that
I've
at
least
discussed
with
the
board
president
that
I'd
like
to
bring
to
the
board
as
well.
First,
the
term
lengths
for
cac.
N
So,
as
you
likely
know
by
regulation,
the
current
term
length
is
two
years,
but
recently
we
started
talking
as
a
committee
about
the
advantages
of
possibly
extending
that
to
a
third
year.
It
would
give
us
more
continuity
and
allow
our
subcommittees
to
be
a
little
more
productive.
The
frequent
turnover
has
made
the
beginning
of
the
year
a
little
slow.
Sometimes.
On
the
other
hand,
we
are
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
we
don't
want
to
hurt
recruitment
of
new
members.
A
three-year
term
might
be
long,
especially
from
for
some
of
our
stakeholder
groups.
N
So
with
that
in
mind,
our
compromised
proposal
that
I've
mentioned
to
the
board
president
and
that
we're
pursuing
through
through
the
policy
committee
will
be
to
maintain
the
two-year
term
with
a
possibility
of
a
one-year
extension,
so
those
people
that
are
in
a
two-year
term
that
are
willing
to
serve
a
third
year
and
if
that
is
satisfactory
to
the
board
and
they're
fulfilling
their
duties,
that
will
give
an
opportunity
for
longer
terms
and
more
continuity.
N
We
will
give
the
opportunity
to
extend
this
year
so
hopefully
I'll
have
an
update
that
on
june
and
second,
we
have
created
a
facebook
page
for
the
cac
and
we've
worked
with
bob
mosher
to
make
sure
that
we're
maintaining
school
policies
and
the
board
president,
and
I
will
send
that
link
out
to
both
before
we
go,
live
but
we're
hoping
for
that
to
be
by
the
end
of
the
year
as
well,
and
we
just
hope
to
create
another
opportunity
for
dissemination
of
information.
I'm
really
excited
about
crab
radio.
I
made
note
of
that.
N
L
My
executive
board
and
the
founders
day
committee,
chaired
by
steph
holler,
really
really
did
take
a
leap
of
faith
with
me
as
we
went
to
change
year-old
format
of
founder's
day,
so
it
was
fun.
There's
some
tweaking
that
still
could
happen
for
next
year.
We
learned
a
lot.
I
learned
a
lot
through,
but
with
sponsorships
and
silent
auction
donations
with
the
community
was
was
well
represented.
L
Kirsten
chapman
from
germantown
elementary
was
awarded
pta
advocate
of
the
year
ashley
ohlerking
from
manor
view.
Elementary
was
awarded
pta
president
of
the
year
and
finally,
debbie
naparali
from
chesapeake
high
school
was
named
pta
volunteer
of
the
year.
That
was
really.
It
was
really
the
crux
of
the
whole
evening
and
it
was
exciting
to
see
them.
Their
work
be
recognized
and
it
was
really
exciting
to
see
the
energy
in
the
room.
L
I
know
my
pta
from
oakwood
elementary
got
to
meet
pta
members
from
chesapeake
bay
middle
school,
so
that
you
know
there
was
a
lot
of
good
energy
like
that,
and
I
hope
we
can
keep
that
going
as
the
years
go
on.
So
thank
everybody
for
for
attending.
We
are
going
to
turn
our
attention
now
to
training
we'll
have
ptas
across
the
county,
are
electing
new
officers
or
retaining
some
officers.

All
right,
we'll
move
on
to
the
public
comment
portion
of
the
meeting.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
an

during
this
public
comment
portion
speakers
will
be
allotted
three

asks
that
comments
remain
civil

A
C
Hello,
my
name
is
claudio
keith,
I'm
a
parent
and
former
student
in
the
county
school
system.
Last
year,
ms
summer
asked
the
school
administration
how
two
elementary
schools
of
the
same
size
could
have
very
different
state
rated
capacities.
The
administration
said
it
was
too
complicated
to
explain
here's
the
answer.
C
The
state
gives
grades
one
through
five,
a
capacity
of
23
students
per
classroom.
Other
rooms
like
multi-purpose
rooms,
art
rooms,
music
rooms,
have
a
capacity
of
zero
cross
out
classroom
on
the
plans,
replace
it
with
multi-purpose
room.
The
school
capacity
goes
down
without
changing
the
size
of
the
school.
C
Ms
sasso
asked.
If
the
community
ambassador
program
includes
hispanic
ambassadors,
the
administration
refused
to
answer
on
grounds
that
identifies
the
race
of
school
staff.
They
could
have
discussed
if
any
hispanic
students
are
served
by
this
program.
They
could
have
discussed
if
the
community
ambassador
pro.
If
any
of
the
community
ambassadors
speak
spanish,
they
did
not.
They
did,
however,
publicly
advertise
for
spanish-speaking
community
ambassador
last
december,
mr
granin
requested
a
report
detailing
how
two
late
starting
elementary
schools
could
be
shifted
back
to
dismiss
before
4
pm.
C
This
was
more
than
a
request.
It
was
a
motion
approved
by
majority
voter,
the
board
majority
vote
of
the
board.
It
was
an
order
again.
There
was
no
report,
just
a
verbal.
No
here
are
a
couple
of
simple
options
that
could
have
been
presented:
meat
heights,
nine
buses
and
hebron
harmon
twelfth
buses
could
start
one
after
the
other,
virtually
any
time
of
day
with
the
addition
of
twelve
buses
costing
about
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars.
That
cost
is
partially
offset
by
fuel
tax
savings.
That's
the
simplest
option,
not
the
cheapest
option.
C
Two
meat
heights
could
take
advantage
of
gaps
in
the
school
bus
routes
and
run
from
825
to
250,
with
the
addition
of
seven
or
fewer
buses.
The
current
routes
for
meat
heights
could
be
backfilled
by
hebron,
harmon
buses
pulling
that
school
back
by
10
minutes
to
dismiss
just
five
minutes
later
from
current
hours.
C
C
Your
administration
wouldn't
even
afford
the
board
five
minutes
of
effort
to
help
over
a
thousand
elementary
students.
A
third
option
involves
using
university
of
maryland's,
optimization
algorithm,
an
option
that
has
zero
cost
and
would
most
likely
result
in
cost
savings
and
fewer
buses.
According
to
mr
douglas's
testimony
last
month,
all
bus
routes
have
been
entered
into
the
software.
C
That's
more
than
enough
data
to
run
the
optimization,
algorithm
and
save
money
on
buses.
An
estimated
five
percent.
Five
percent
of
a
50
million
dollar
budget
is
two
and
a
half
million
dollars
you
could
be
could
be
saving.
I
truly
believe
all
your
hearts
are
in
the
right
place.
You
ask
very
very
good
questions.
C
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
address
the
board
at
this
time,
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
consent
items?
We
just
have
one
today
item
4.01
a
word
of
contracts,
site
work
for
jessup
elementary
school
replacement.
This
is
an
information
to
action
item.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
move
this
from
information
to
action,
all
those
in
favor?
J
O
O
The
way
the
board
ruled
on
it
below
the
supervisor.
All
you
have
to
do
next
time
is:
don't
contact
very
many
mbes
just
enough
to
have
two-thirds
of
the
goal
and
then
assert
that
you're
going
to
do
the
rest.
The
work
with
your
own
forces
that's
a
way
to
do
things
and
that's
what
all
of
the
potential
contractors
that
I
advise
are
going
to
be
given
advice
lest
you
treat
equal
cases
unequally
and
deny
a
waiver
next
time.
O
The
bad
thing
about
that
is
that
the
mbe
program?
Well,
if
you're
an
advocate
of
mbe
programs,
which
I
happen
to
be
because
when
I
was
an
assistant
attorney
general-
I
drafted
it
40
years
ago
and
I
still
think
it's
a
good
thing
and
it's
a
core
value:
inclusive,
inclusiveness
and
diversity.
That's
the
core
value
of
cj
companies.
They
almost
never
request
a
waiver,
and
occasionally
it
costs
more
well.
O
All
that
highfalutin
stuff
means
is
that
we
follow
the
rules
urban
zinc,
put
in
its
request
for
a
waiver
and
if
it
gets
granted
under
these
circumstances,
it's
going
to
invite
other
bidders
to
say
well.
Anne
arundel
county
doesn't
much
really
mean
that
stuff
will
not
get
as
much
mba
participation
as
the
aspirational
goal
calls
for
we'll
go
in
and
get
a
cheaper
price
get
awarded
it
and
we'll
get
a
waiver,
because
that's
what
my
old
friend
mary,
jo
childs
was
said,
was
the
proper
way
to
handle.
This
particular
bid
protest
under
the
circumstances.
O
O
Open
competition
open
meeting
like
this,
and
we
if
we
get
awarded
the
contract
a
week
or
two
or
three
four
later
from
now,
it
won't
matter
to
the
board
because
we'll
still
have
to
complete
the
project
in
a
timely
manner.
In
accordance
with
the
project
schedule,
it
means
we'll
have
more
overtime.
It
means
we
might
work
six
days
instead
of
five,
but
your
deadlines
will
all
be
set,
so
it
won't
affect
the
follow
on
15
or
so
contractors
that
need
to
work
on
this
project.
P
A
J
Q
Three
of
my
colleagues
are
retiring
and
I
have
to
say
something
because
they
really
have.
The
three
of
them
together
have
contributed
over
120
years
of
service
to
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools,
gwen
atkinson,
luis
de
jesus
and
lynn
evans.
Louise
particularly
has
spent
47
years
in
anne
arundel
county
public
schools,
and
I
want
to
commend
these
three
principles
and
tell
them
how
much
I
will
miss
them
and
how
much
the
system
will
miss
them.
Thank
you.
B
Yes,
I
was
looking
over
the
list
we
have
11
of
employees.
Who've
announced
their
retirements
the
end
of
this
year.
Those
11
employees
together
represent
345
years
of
service
and
education,
and
I
think
that's
incredible,
and
we
are
so
grateful
for
that
they
have
given
their
careers
to
our
children
is
perch.
K
I
think
part
of
the
reason
that
carolyn
didn't
come
today
was
because
she
didn't
want
to
endorse
in
any
way
mrs
d
de
chazo
retiring,
because
she's
a
little
distressed
about
it
and
she
was
thinking
about,
even
though
it's
not
really
a
vote
on
the
retirements.
She
was
thinking
about
voting
no
on
this
package,
because
that
was
going
to
be
in
there.
A
A
J
A
Is
there
any
public
comment
on
this
item?
All
those
in
favor
motion
passes
6-0.
I
can't
count
today,
item
5.05,
an
action
item
policy,
ikb
student
assembly
programs
for
political
candidates.
A
Is
there
any
public
comment
on
this
item?
All
those
in
favor
motion
passes
six
zero.
The
next
item
in
the
agenda
is
item
5.06
new
course
approvals.
This
is
an
information
to
action
item.
I
do
have
a
note
that
one
of
the
four
course
or
one
of
the
five
courses
on
here
english
language,
acquisition,
civics
and
citizenship-
will
not
be
considered
today,
but
the
rest
are
still
on
the
agenda.
A
J
B
I'm
reading
the
descriptions
of
the
bridge
to
algebra
2
and
the
function
focus
classes.
What
is
the
difference
between
the
two
classes
because
they
both
are
scheduled
or
for
students
who
don't
necessarily
pass
the
state
test
for
algebra
and
believe
that
there's
more
resource?
So
what's
the
difference
between
the
two
classes?
Certainly.
R
S
Good
morning,
for
the
record,
my
name
is
kevin.
Wojcik,
I'm
the
coordinator
of
high
school
mathematics
for
a
district,
so
the
first
course
bridge
to
algebra
2
will
be
a
remediation
experience
for
students
that
affords
them
the
opportunity
to
see
previously
learned
content
in
algebra
1
in
a
new
and
enriching
way
through
the
lens
of
science
and
architecture
and
art,
in
an
effort
to
help
those
students
really
finalize
and
formalize
those
skills
such
that
they
are
able
to
be
successful
in
subsequent
courses.
B
So
will
these
be
classes
that
that
we
steer
students
toward
or
is
it
one
that
will
just
that
they
could
pick
if
they
wanted
to.
S
Yeah
great
question,
and
the
answer
is
yes
to
both.
We
would
absolutely
help
students
who
we
think
would
be
best
suited
in
these
courses,
see
the
merits
of
the
courses
and
the
benefits
of
taking
them
as
well.
Students
who
kind
of
just
feel
compelled
to
do
more
math,
which
makes
my
heart
happy,
would
absolutely
be
welcomed
into
those
courses.
B
S
An
excellent
question,
and
really
we
would
help
support
schools,
support
students
in
what's
best
courses
could
be
taken
concurrently
or
they
could
be
taken
as
part
of
the
the
course
sequence.
So
as
a
sophomore
or
a
junior,
these
courses
would
be
ideal
kind
of
for
either
student
and
you're
absolutely
right.
Helping
with
that
kind
of
algebra
slide
that
we
often
refer
to
with
reading
in
the
summer.
We
would
help
do
that
work.
S
Our
current
course
sequence
also
works
to
support
that
we
do
a
lot
of
algebra
in
geometry,
but
it
is
through
that
very
specific
lens,
where
these
courses
would
afford
students
an
additional
lens
to
kind
of
both
maintain
skills,
but
also
continue
to
grow
that
interest
in
mathematics.
So
so,
yes
and
yes,.
S
B
And
then
now
I
have
another
one
for
the
next
class,
that's
down
so
for
the
english
english
language
acquisition,
career
literacy.
Is
this
going
to
be
offered?
I
know
it's
specifically
for
some
of
our
older
students
that
are
in
there
is
it
offered
in
the
regular
class
regular
high
school,
or
is
this
just
an
evening
high
school
class,
or
is
it
where?
Where
specifically,
will
this
class
be
offered,
be.
T
B
E
B
Correct,
okay
and
one
other
one
is
the
historical
inquiry
class
for
the
ap
us
history:
don't
we
offers
do
we
have
something
like
this
now
an
additional.
I
thought
there
was
an
additional
support
class
for
ap
history.
R
So
you're
correct:
we
have
seminar
that's
available
for
the
ap
level
courses.
This
has
a
unique
niche
to
it.
I
brought
tim
johnson
here
to
address
that.
U
Good
morning
tim
johnson
teacher
specialist
in
the
office
of
social
studies
a
few
years
ago,
ap
restructured
the
ap
history
courses,
starting
with
the
united
states
history,
then
into
european
and
world
history.
And
what
we
found
is
the
seminar
course
was
morphing
much
more
into
a
st
from
a
study
skills
course
to
really
diving
into
rigorous
work
with
historical
thinking
skills,
and
that
gave
us
the
springboard
to
rewrite
that
companion
course.
U
Yes,
there
is
a
caveat.
It
is
specifically
designed
to
support
our
ninth
graders,
taking
ap
us
history
for
the
first
time
to
build
their
skill
set
and
to
give
them
the
additional
supports
that
they
need
as
freshmen
in
a
first-time
ap
course.
Okay,.
U
H
T
We
have
decided
not
to
move
forward
with
that
course
at
this
time,
because
after
doing
a
little
bit
more
research
into
the
requirements
for
taking
the
citizenship
test,
the
students
who
we
currently
have
in
the
newcomer
program
would
not
be
eligible
for
at
least
seven
years,
and
in
talking
with
students,
they
felt
that
that
goal
was
too
far
out
for
them
right
now
and
they
prefer
courses
that
dealt
with
their
immediate
needs.
Okay,
thank
you.
V
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
for
for
this
package.
I
want
to
just
ask
about
algebra
in
general,
if
that,
if
that's,
okay,
the
bridge
to
algebra
2,
of
course
I
get
it.
V
I
understand
why
I
guess
some
of
my
concern
is:
if
we're
not
doing
the
real
world
application
enough
in
algebra
1,
are
we
discouraging
students
from
math,
or
are
we
disheartening
them
at
least
those
who
may
not
be
performing
as
as
well
so
so
I
I
guess
you
know
that's
more
of
a
theoretical
question
that
can
spark
debate,
and
I
don't
want
to
do
that,
but
if
this
course
does
offer
learning
assets
and
resources
that
can
help
algebra
one
teachers
and
and
those
students
would
those
be
available
to
use
for
those
algebra
one
teachers.
S
So
a
great
question,
and
in
that
I
would
answer
it
by
saying
that
we
absolutely
do
the
things
that
I've
talked
about
in
our
algebra
one
program
currently,
but
there
is
a
broader
set
of
standards
for
students
within
that
course.
The
proposed
course
would
focus
solely
on
the
the
core
three
functions
that
students
study
in
algebra,
one.
So
linear,
exponential
and
quadratic
functions
in
the
algebra
one
course.
They
also
do
a
deep
dive
into
statistics
as
a
standard.
S
Some
probability
and
other
standards
that
are
are
also
really
great
for
students
in
their
trajectory
of
learning,
but
this
course
would
specifically
target
those
three,
because
those
are
things
that
they
will
really
need
to
be
successful
with
to
move
forward
in
subsequent
courses,
so
they
they
are
getting
tons
of
modeling
and
constructivist
theory
in
the
algebra
1
course.
A
J
H

W

B
W
A
K
Okay,
so
mrs
hummer
had
the
touchy-feely
questions
and
I
have
the
number
questions:
how
three
years
in
a
row
have
you
been
able
to
keep
your
monthly
fund
balance
high
enough
to
not
have
to
raise
the
rates?
And
what
is
the
monthly
fund
balance?
Because
I
know
that's
one
of
the.
I
know
you
want
to
have
enough
money
on
hand
to
pay
a
certain
amount
of
bills,
because
you
need
to
pay
ahead
and
that's
one
of
the
ways
that
you
decide
whether
or
not
you
need
to
raise
prices
so
sure.
Z
Let
me
let
me
address
the
first
piece
of
it:
alex
shaknov,
the
chief
operating
officer,
so
our
operational
targets
for
our
fund
balance
is
between
two
to
three
percent.
So
for
the
last
three
years
and
fifteen
we
were
2.11
in
16
we
were
2.59
percent.
Those
are
actuals
in
17.
We're
2.13
percent
projected
we're
a
month
away
from
that
and
again
we
project
to
be
within
that
range
as
well.
Z
W
Thank
you.
I
think
we
have
phenomenal
staff.
You
know
support
from
the
board.
Obviously
an
executive
team
is
phenomenal,
but
the
staff
that
I
have
are
fantastic.
The
nutritious
meals
that
we
provide
are
clearly
leading
the
nation.
We
do
salad
bars.
I
know
many
of
you
have
seen
our
salad
bars
in
all
of
our
schools.
W
Nutrition
is
so
important
to
us
and
I
think,
the
more
fresh
fruits
and
vegetables
that
we
offer
the
more
local
that
we
infuse
into
our
menus
and
we
always
have
our
students
part
of
our
testing
process.
Our
participation
continues
to
go
up
so
with
really
effective
business
practices
in
place
and
having
our
participation
goes
up.
It
really
allows
us
to
do
the
great
things
we
do
and.
Z
That's
under
that's
on
the
volume
side
and
the
other
two
elements
are
because
of
volume.
Misrecent
purchasing
work
aggressively
to
get
economies
of
scale,
so
we're
buying
the
commodity
at
a
preferential
pricing
structure
and
then,
to
the
extent
that
either
the
federal
or
government
or
grant
programs
continue
to
provide
more
more
revenue
per
head
or
grant
opportunities.
K
J
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
behalf
of
our
superintendent,
who,
I
know
would
say
it's
your
leadership
and
your
creative
amazing
approach,
innovation,
your
partnerships,
you
build
with
the
community
that
really
take
us
where
we
are,
and
and
not
only
all
of
that,
but
your
efficiency.
Thank
you.

During
the
feasibility
studies
in
october
2016,
the
revitalization
option
was
selected
for
all
three
schools.
The
next
step
in
the
process
is
the
schematic
design
phase.
The
schematic
design
translates
the
educational
specifications
into
drawings,
which
establish
spatial
relationships,
adjacencies
and
circulation
patterns
for
both
the
building
and
the
site.
AA
Larry
albert
supervisor,
of
planning,
design
and
construction,
the
edgewater
project
was
your
ed.
Specs
were
approved
one
year
ago,
actually
march
may
4th
and,
as
lisa
said,
we
had,
the
feasibility
was
approved
last
october.
We
project
for
this
school
would
increase
the
capacity
from
455
to
679
students.
This
is
the
same
as
was
approved
in
the
ed
specs
and
the
feasibility
study,
the
we're
on
target
for
the
budget
at
the
moment
and
the
schedule
and
with
that
we'll
quickly
run
through
the
floor
plans
for
you.
AB
Good
morning,
I'm
jeff
hagen
with
word
copenhagen,
architects
and
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
the
existing
conditions.
First,
if
I
could
have
the
next
slide,
please
we're
viewing
the
existing
site
plan
and
the
way
the
school
is
current.
Currently
oriented
the
the
school
is
off
of
washington
road,
but
the
main
entry
to
the
school
faces
to
the
west
on
the
parking
lot
area,
where
the
student
drop-off
loop
is
we're
going
to
change
that
up
in
in
the
new
plan.
AB
This
is
our
proposed
site
plan.
As
I
mentioned,
we're
going
to
change
the
location
of
the
front
entry
to
the
building.
So
when
we
build
the
addition,
which
is
in
the
lighter
tan
color
on
the
plan,
there
we're
going
to
move
the
front
entry
to
face
washington
road,
and
one
of
the
reasons
for
this
is
it's
twofold
one.
It's
a
phasing
item
which
will
help
us
when
we
want
to
keep
the
existing
building
up
and
running.
AB
One
main
entry
point,
which
is
what
we're
going
to
provide
in
this
new
plan
parking,
will
be
split,
we'll
have
parking
in
the
existing
location
on
on
the
west
side
and
then
we'll
have
additional
parking
over
on
the
east
side,
which
will
also
serve
as
the
new
student
drop-off
loop
on
over
there
bus
loop
will
be
revised,
but
essentially
stay
in
the
same
location
and
then
I'll
walk
you
through
the
existing
floor
plan.
AB
You
enter
to
you,
you
head
towards
the
cafetorium
and,
as
you
go
to
the
left
or
excuse
me,
go
to
the
left
of
the
cavity
and
go
to
the
right
and
then
down
the
main
hallway.
It
takes
you
back
to
the
gymnasium,
we're
going
to
repurpose
those
spaces
and
I'll
show
you
that
in
a
moment
the
majority
of
the
building
will
remain
and
be
renovated
in
place,
and
then
we're
going
to
expand
it
with
the
exception
of
a
couple
of
key
areas
that
we're
going
to
do
some
selective
demolition.
AB
If
you
look
at
the
media
center
kind
of
at
the
heart
of
the
building,
there
we're
going
to
take
the
piece
to
the
left
off
and
that
will
allow
us
to
connect
the
new
building
more
cleanly
to
the
existing
building.
We
also
have
at
the
at
the
end
of
that
far
portion
of
the
plan
to
your
right.
There
are
three
classrooms
there
that
are
modular
classrooms,
they're
temporary
spaces
that
were
put
put
in
in
the
1980s.
AB
AB
AB
As
you
continue
around
the
loop
of
the
building,
we're
we're
replacing
those
classrooms,
as
I
mentioned
at
the
end
of
that
that
far
quarter
on
the
right,
we're
renovating
the
rest
of
the
spaces.
As
we
come
along
the
courtyard
side,
we
have
art
and
the
learning
studios
facing
the
courtyard
which
will
be
it
makes
for
some
nice
outdoor
learning
spaces.
AB
AB
But
we
can
reuse
that
nice
volume
of
space
for
a
new
media
center
and
then,
as
you,
return
back
up
near
the
front
entry,
we
have
the
early
childhood
classrooms,
which
will
be
located
near
the
front
of
the
building
for
easy
access
for
the
for
the
small
children
and
they
have
nice
nice
views
into
the
courtyard.
AB
AB
A
AA
Again,
the
ed
specs
and
the
feasibility
studies
were
all
present
at
the
same
time
as
the
previous
project.
One
thing
that
I
wanted
did
not
bring
up
previously,
but
all
our
projects
do
involve,
in
addition
to
the
architect,
engineering
staff
and
my
staff.
We
also
include
parents,
usually
from
the
pta,
but
parents,
we
have
principals
teachers,
some
of
the
projects
have
custodial,
and
we
also
have
a
representative
from
msde
who
we
work
with
on
all
these
projects.
AA
AA
E
Good
morning
here
you
see
the
existing
plan
towards
the
right
of
the
bus
loop.
That
is
the
main
entrance
for
the
site,
the
way
they
have
the
signage
up,
so
everyone
is
entering
down
there,
whether
it
be
a
bus
or
a
parent,
dropping
off
we're
going
to
work
to
improve
that
in
the
proposed
site
plan
in
exist.
In
addition,
you'll
see
there's
only
64
parking
spaces
for
approximately
90
staffers.
E
E
If
you're
wondering
the
angled
area
on
the
side
is
provides
a
couple
of
different
advantages,
one
of
it
is
being
able
to
reduce
the
amount
of
grading
and
cost
to
the
building
and
also
to
preserve
as
many
of
the
trees
on
site.
There's
a
nice
wooded
buffer
along
that
line
that
we're
trying
to
preserve
so
that
we
don't
have
to
do
more
planting
elsewhere.
E
The
addition
will
also
allow
for
a
loop
circulation
which
you'll
see
in
the
proposed
plan
and
also
provides
the
opportunity
for
a
new
courtyard,
which
again
will
give
great
outdoor
learning
experiences
to
the
students
as
far
as
circulation
to
the
building
you
can
now
see.
There
are
two
separate
entrances
which
will
both
be
two-way.
E
The
one
all
the
way
to
the
right
will
be
for
buses
and
for
service
vehicles
and
some
some
of
the
staff
parking
and
it
will
give
them
loop
circulation
and
they
will
be
able
to
exit
to
the
right
on
the
left-hand
side
will
be
for
the
cars
and
visitors
and
parent
drop-off,
and
we've
provided
a
long
lane
for
stacking
of
parents
as
they
come
to
pick
up
and
drop
off
their
children.
So
it
should
help
the
vehicular
congestion
on
site.
Also,
you
will
see.
E
Moving
on
to
the
next
slide.
Here
is
your
existing
plan.
Much
like
the
last
school.
It
is
an
l-shaped
design.
The
main
entrance
is
down
in
the
bottom
left-hand
corner
where
there's
a
red
arrow.
The
entrance
is
tucked
back.
The
main
office
has
limited
visibility
as
they're
trying
to
keep
an
eye
on
the
front
of
the
building.
It
should
be
mentioned.
This
school
was
designed
in
1962
to
those
standards
and
has
not
had
any
major
renovations
in
the
time
period.
E
E
E
E
We
have
all
of
the
early
childhood
along
the
back
in
a
row
and
they
will
have
easy
access
to
their
play
areas.
They're
all
shown
in
blue
in
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
there's
space
for
the
before
and
after
care
near
the
drop-off
and
pickup
areas.
You
also
have
your
music
in
the
far
right
hand
corner
with
direct
access
to
the
platform.
E
E
There
will
be
a
new
kitchen
and
new
mechanical
spaces
which
will
support
all
the
new
building
systems
that
are
part
of
this
revitalize
revitalization
project
in
purple.
You
can
see
those
are
resource
spaces
and
they
are
allocated
around
the
building
now
for
access
at
all
the
different
grade
levels
there's
also
small
pink
spaces
which
are
toilet
rooms
for
the
staff
that
again
are
allocated
in
all
four
corners.
E
You
have
18
classrooms,
which
are
shown
in
beige
and
you'll
have
two
learning
studios,
one
in
the
top
left
hand
corner
and
one
that
has
access
to
the
courtyard.
The
art
room
will
be
moved
along
the
horizontal
area
near
the
admin
suite,
and
it
will
have
the
preferred
northern
exposure
and
also
we'll
have
access
out
to
the
courtyard
for
outdoor
experiences
and
finally,
on
the
bottom.
E
V
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
I
think
all
three
of
these
plans
are
are
excellent.
V
I
appreciate
the
fact
you
noted
the
handicap
spots
and
you
know
maybe
it's
just
a
broader
question,
but
is,
is
there
a
formula
that
we
use
so
in
this
case
108
115
spaces
seven
are
handicapped
and
this
I
believe
this
is
is
the
has
the
most
parking
spaces
of
any
of
the
schools,
but
is
there
a
formula
that
we
need
to
adhere
to,
or
is
that
just
a
magic
number
that
we
invent.
F
K
E
Trying
to
preserve
the
existing
structure
because
we
are
going
to
repurpose,
we
will
revitalize
and
renovate
all
of
the
existing
classrooms,
but
in
trying
to
work
with
the
existing
constraints
of
the
structure,
it
made
logical
sense
to
put
it
in
the
edition
where
they
could
be
properly
sized
and
configured
and-
and
the
planning
committee
was
in
agreement
with
having.
K
AA
It
goes
back
to
being
a
revitalization
part
of
it,
and
we've
also
had
a
lot
of
discussions
with
instruction
as
to
which
grades
needed
the
most,
which
is
kindergarten
in
first
grade
or
pre-k,
also
because
that's
the
large
number
of
blue
rooms
in
this
case,
which
is
because
tyler
heights
does
have
a
very
large
pre-k
population
as
well
as
kindergarten
currently
pre-k,
is
at
georgetown
east.
The
intent
is
to
bring
them
back
right.
So
that's
again
part
of
the
reasons
it
looks
a
little
different
than
some
of
the
other
floor
plans.
E
AA
G
E
A
AA
AA
Y
Great
good
morning,
everyone,
I'm
kieran
wilmes
principal
with
grimm
park,
architects,
I'm
happy
to
be
here:
we've
had
a
terrific
schematic
process,
collaborative
process
with
both
larry
and
lisa's
group
and
the
school
committee.
I
think
principal
wooly
hand
is
here
with
us
today,
and
I
just
want
to
thank
him
for
his
dedication
pulling
his
committee
together
on
a
very
challenging
site.
Y
You
can
see
the
site
plan
in
front
of
you.
This
is
the
existing
condition.
It's
less
than
five
acres.
It's
a
very
constrained
site,
really
more
of
an
urban
condition
in
the
center
of
glen
burnie.
So
we're
bound
on
on
streets
by
all
four
sides
and
the
existing
condition.
You
can
see
the
the
main
entrance
right
now,
the
purple
arrow
on
the
a
street
facade
towards
the
east
end
of
that
building
very
constricted
dimension.
Y
There,
bus
drop
off
on
that
side
very
little
sort
of
front
porch
area
before
you
come
into
the
front
door,
cars
queue
and
that
light
blue
line.
You
can
see
they
start
to
wrap
around
too,
if
not
three
sides
of
the
site.
There's
no
dedicated
drop-off
area.
There
that's
off
street
and
we
have
a
very
busy
crossing
guard
on
the
corner
of
eighth
street
and
fourth
avenue
if
you've
been
there
in
the
morning,
that
is
very
busy
trying
to
keep
all
of
this
separated
and
kids
safe
as
they
navigate
the
the
neighborhood
streets.
Y
Y
So
this
is
the
proposed
solution
for
the
for
the
new
site
plan.
We
really
want
to
keep
to
create
separation,
safe
separation
between
cars
and
buses
b
street
to
the
west
side
of
the
building,
has
a
wider
street
section
and
can
allow
safe,
curbside
bus
departure.
There
we're
rearing
the
main
entrance
down
to
the
south
to
the
fifth
avenue
side.
Fifth
avenue
is
a
rather
busy
street.
We
don't
want
to
bring
cars
on
and
off
of
it
directly,
but
still
maintain
that
parking
lot.
Y
Access
off
the
8th
street
side
so
create
more
of
a
gracious
entry
sequence,
a
dedicated
student
drop
off
by
cars
with
a
parking
lot
in
front
of
the
building.
So
again,
it
was
important
to
the
committee
to
have
all
students
from
buses
and
cars
come
into
one
common
main
entrance
with
oversight
and
security
and
safety
that
provides
also
the
before
and
after
care,
which
is
not
in
the
current
building.
Y
Existing
building
is
a
what
we
would
call
a
split
level
condition.
We
come
in
right
now
off
the
a
street
facade
of
the
east,
where
the
green
arrow
is
into
a
one-story
grade,
block
that
houses,
administration,
media
center
and
a
few
classrooms.
Now,
as
you
move
into
the
classroom
wing
to
the
left
side
of
the
plan,
you
go
down
about
four
feet
to
the
lowest
level
and
up
about
eight
feet
to
the
higher
classroom
level.
Y
These
are
classic
early,
70s,
open
classroom
conditions,
it's
a
very
peculiar
block
size
because
it
doesn't
afford
natural
light
into
the
deepest
parts
of
the
instructional
spaces
right
now,
they're
separated
by
essentially
systems
furniture
partitions.
It's
a
very
compromised
educational
environment
right
now.
So
it's
also
a
very
challenge,
and
it's
in
its
height
12
foot
floor
to
floor
doesn't
allow
us
to
bring
in
21st
century
building
systems
and
also
again,
proportionately,
doesn't
give
us
access
to
good
daylight
there.
Y
So
we're
proposing
in
this
solution
to
actually
demolish
a
large
portion
of
that
two-story
wing
and
create
a
condition
that
lets
us
deliver
your
red
spec
and
the
the
modern
systems
it
needs
to
to
service
it.
So
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
Y
Reimagining
that
main
entrance
from
the
south
from
the
fifth
street
side
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
again
rebuild
that
in
a
more
idealized
condition.
Y
Now
the
existing
cafeteria
multi-purpose
room
on
the
southeast
corner
will
be
repurposed
for
early
childhood,
so
they
have
a
dedicated
cluster
there
with
access
to
their
own
dedicated
play
areas
directly
outdoors.
The
media
center
will
remain
in
its
current
location,
but
will
be
enclosed
right
now.
It's
kind
of
in
an
open
plan
condition
that'll
be
enclosed
with
as
much
transparency
as
we
we
can
provide
with
a
centralized
courtyard
that
provides
daylight
to
a
space
that
currently
doesn't
have
it.
Y
It
was
important
to
the
committee
to
have
grade
level
clusters
that
were
easily
identifiable,
so
we're
providing
clusters
for
early
childhood.
As
I
mentioned,
and
then
first
second
and
third
grades,
all
on
this
first
first
floor,
we
are
maintaining
that
slight
split
in
the
in
the
site
to
minimize
the
earthwork,
so
we're
not
having
to
haul
in
a
lot
of
expensive
soil
onto
a
very
constrained
site,
that's
difficult
to
balance,
otherwise.
Y
So
again,
we're
taking
advantage
of
that
grade,
change
with
a
few
steps
and
ramps
again
to
mediate
that
great
change,
but
still
respect
and
mitigate
the
earthquake
condition.
That's
out
there
now
upstairs
we're
going
to
have
the
fourth
and
fifth
grade
clusters
rounding
out
the
rest
of
the
program
and,
incidentally,
the
interior
courtyard
is
going
to
provide
natural
light
to
the
learning
labs
in
purple
and
the
art
space
as
well
to
give
them
some
outdoor
space
to
do
their
programs.
So
thank
you
happy
to
take
any
questions.
V
Thank
you
again
and
I
think
you
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
when
you
said
this
is
just
a
challenging
area
to
navigate
and
what
really
struck
me
was
the
reduction
of
parking
spaces
for
whatever
I
don't
know.
Why
parking's
on
my
mind
today,
but
so
59
to
41.,
so
that
reduction
may
be
an
unfair
question
for
you.
Y
We're
going
to
strive
to
increase
that
number.
If
we
can.
This
is
a
conservative
number
at
best
where,
as
we
know,
we're
dealing
with
a
lot
of
compromised
positions
from
fields
and
play
areas
to
to
parking
safety
and
security
was
the
paramount
concern.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
address
those
issues.
First,
it's
possible
to
increase
that
parking
area.
Y
E
B
Y
That's
right
so
there's
there's
two
areas,
though,
on
your
screen
now
the
ones
to
the
bottom
left.
The
bottom
right
are
dedicated
for
early
childhood.
Those
would
be
pave
play
and
soft
play
dedicated
for
the
for
the
little
guys.
That's
going
to
be
enclosed
and
accessible
through
a
corridor
from
inside
the
building.
The
soft
play
and
looks
like
this
plan
might
not
have
the
pave
play
area
would
be
accessed
in
the
corridor
between
the
administration
and
the
gym.
B
Y
We're
going
to
reduce
that,
like
I
mentioned,
where
we're
looking
to,
we
looked
at
leveling
it
all
off
and
that
would
require,
like
I
said,
a
phenomenal
amount
of
earth
work
that
we
don't
feel
the
budget
can
really
take,
so
we're
actually
trying
to
get
a
both
and
condition
we're
trying
to
respect
the
work.
Y
That's
there
and
also
capitalize
on
the
great
change
and
create
some
interesting
spaces
with
perhaps
some
seating
areas
or
gathering
spaces
that,
where
that
great
change
is
taken
up
inside
the
building
and,
of
course,
there'll
be
rams
for
accessibility,
and
that
happens
near
the
main
entrance
in
a
larger
area
just
to
handle
all
that
circulation
and
movement
of
students
and
then
a
smaller
area
to
the
top
corridor.
There
you
can
see
between
the
existing
and
new
buildings.
Y
A
K
Two
things:
first,
I'm
thinking
about
the
parking.
There
is
a
lot
of
street
parking
in
this
area,
though,
isn't
there.
K
Unlike
some
areas
where
you
can't
park
on
the
street
you're
parking
on
a
road
in
a
ditch
or
something
like
that,
so
at
least
we
have
that
advantage
there.
My
other
thought
you
know
you
talk
about
how
the
community
is
involved
in
these.
I
know
that
we
had
representatives
from
the
community
at
richard
henry
lee,
who
were
very
concerned
about
the
fact
that
we
had
chosen
revitalization
instead
of
a
replacement
school
in
your
work
with
them
did.
Y
Great
question-
and
that
was
a
major
concern
of
ours
too,
and
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
committee.
I
can
tell
you
again:
they've
been
very
engaged,
we've
went
and
took.
We
actually
held
many
of
our
schematic
design
meetings
in
other
facilities
that
have
been
renovated
or
reimagined
so
point
pleasants.
For
instance,
we
went
to
benfield.
The
folks
came
after
work
dedicated
their
evenings
to
these
meetings
to
see
what
the
possibilities
were
in
these
spaces.
We
shared
a
lot
of
images
of
other
projects.
Y
A
A
Z
Z
So,
on
the
operating
budget
side,
our
operating
budget
request
for
this
year
that
was
put
forward
by
the
board
of
education
was
1
billion,
172
million,
which
represented
a
50.8
million
dollar
increase
year
over
year
18
over
17..
Z
The
county
executive's
proposal,
including
revenue
from
all
sources,
is
for
an
increase
year
over
year
17
over
18,
I
mean
sorry
18
over
17
of
32.1
million
dollars.
That's
the
net
increase
on
a
percentage
basis.
The
percentage
increase
that
was
requested
at
the
bottom
of
your
page
was
a
four
point:
five
three
percent
increase
year
over
year.
This
county
executive's
recommendation
is
for
a
2.87
percent
increase
year-over-year.
Z
So
we'll
begin
with
an
analysis
of
the
revenue
side.
So
that's
the
money
coming
in
from
the
federal
government.
The
budget
that
is
currently
under
consideration
by
the
county
council
would
recognize
the
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
reduction
in
federal
revenue,
largely
due
to
the
wealth
inverse
relationship
with
wealth,
the
state
government.
Similarly,
we
would
recognize
a
2.8
million
dollar
increase
in
government
that
was
downwardly
forecast.
As
you
recall
in
earlier
comments
that
we
presented
in
february
again
largely
correlated
to
wealth.
Z
The
board
of
education
had
requested
a
59.6
million
dollar
increase
from
general
county
government.
The
request
put
forward
directly
inside
of
the
maintenance
of
effort
number
is
26
point
million
dollar
year-over-year
increase
the
maintenance
of
effort
requirement
for
this
upcoming
fiscal
year
would
be
6.2
million
dollars.
The
26
million
dollars
clearly
exceeds
the
state
mandated
or
state
prescribed
maintenance
of
effort
requirement
by
19.8
million
dollars.
Z
It
is
the
the
largest
increase
year-over-year
inside
of
moe
that
we've
we've
been
the
beneficiaries
of
in
quite
some
time,
going
down
to
the
restricted
side
of
the
budget.
We
anticipate
that
we
receive
about
a
2.3
million
dollar
increase
in
restricted
grants.
That
was
recognized
with
an
account
executive's
budget.
Z
Our
internal
service
fund
for
health
care,
our
health
insurance
fund-
would
have
a
decrease
of
14
million
dollars
because
of
again
the
continued
expenses
over
revenues
and
the
erosion
of
our
health
care
fund
balance
the
food
services
budget
that
we
spoke
about
momentarily
a
few
brief
minutes
ago.
In
spite
of
being
able
to
keep
the
meal
prices
equal
and
have
no
fee
increases,
we
anticipate
that
food
nutrition
services
would
have
an
additional
2.5
million
dollars
in
revenue.
Z
The
school
district
and
the
county
government
approached
the
state
of
maryland,
with
a
non-recurring
one-time
exclusion,
request
that
amassed
a
22.5
million
dollars
upon
consideration
of
the
case
that
was
put
forward
before
the
state,
superintendent
and
the
state
board.
Ultimately,
they
did
decide
to
grant
us
that
waiver.
It's
important
to
note
that
those
waivers
are
seldom
granted
they're
granted
with
a
tremendous
amount
of
reluctance
and
caution.
Z
So
that
comes
in
two
different
pieces.
Then
the
first
piece
is
a
15
million
dollar
non-recurring
one-time
fund
infusion
into
the
self-insurance
fund.
Now
remember
last
year
there
was
a
10
million
dollar
one-time
exclusion
approved
by
the
state
of
maryland,
so
this
one's
15,
but
you
have
to
net
out
the
old
10,
so
it's
essentially
5
million
over
last
year
right,
you
have
to
take
out
the
10
last
year,
add
back
into
15.
Z
and
then
there's
an
additional
7.5
million
dollar
again
a
one-time
non-recurring
funding
source
that
would
be
available
to
help
transition
employees
from
the
today's
structure,
in
terms
of
co-pays
of
premium
splits
over
towards
a
new
model
that
we're
continuing
to
negotiate
for.
So
that's
on
the
revenue
going
down
to
the
expense
side.
Z
The
second
sort
of
main
thematic
element
is
that
we
have
absolutely
have
to
continue
to
make
every
best
effort
to
improve
the
compensation
packages
that
we're
able
to
afford
to
our
employees,
both
the
employees
we
currently
have
in
order
to
be
able
to
retain
them
as
well
as
employees
that
we
continue
to
seek
to
recruit,
to
replace
those
that
have
left
us
through
retirement
or
relocation,
resignation,
etc.
So
that
recruitment
and
retention
element
is
critical
to
a
school
district,
our
size
and
the
compensation
package
that
we
can
afford
to
those
employees.
Z
It's
part
and
parcel
to
that
recruitment
effort.
The
third
thematic
area
of
critical
import
to
the
district
is
the
fact
that
we
are
on
target
to
open
up
a
brand
new
contract
school
in
annapolis.
That
will
be
run
for
us
by
the
children's
goal.
The
monarch
school.
That's
slated
to
open
this
september,
and
it
is
in
fact,
on
schedule
to
open.
They
have
been
enrolling
and
subscribing
youngsters
to
construction
is
going
very
well,
and
we
see
no
reason
for
there
to
be
any
impediments
for
that
to
open.
Z
We
also
have
a
contract,
tongue-in-cheek,
a
contract
for
a
contract
school.
We
have
a
contract
with
them
and
we're
obligated
to
pay
their
per
student
allocation
per
pupil
allocation
to
them.
So,
thankfully
that
was
recognized
and
funded
and
then
finally,
the
programmatic
elements.
So
the
programmatic
elements
are
those
that
allow
us
to
continue
to
address.
Z
The
short
is
not
before
you,
but
you
probably
are
aware
that
the
county
executive
released
a
press
release
not
too
long
ago
that
he
plans
on
introducing
a
fourth
quarter
transfer
bill
this
month.
That
would
be
voted
on
next
month
to
provide
five
million
dollars
to
the
board
of
education
in
fy
17
in
the
current
fiscal
year
to
help
us
close
the
gap
and
be
able
to
pay
our
bills
between
now
and
june.
30Th
5
million
is
not
mathematically
sufficient.
The
board
recalls
that
back
in
december,
we
did
a
second
quarter.
Z
Transfer
of
2
million
dollars,
we're
continuing
to
scrub
the
budgets
at
year
end
close
out
time
to
identify
additional
resources
that
we
can
move
over
to
the
health
care
fund
at
the
end
of
our
fourth
quarter.
Similarly,
so
we
would
be
bringing
an
agenda
item
before
this
board
shortly
with
a
recommended
amount
upon
the
advice
of
the
superintendent.
Z
So
it's
fundamentally
critical
that
we
have
a
solvent
health
care
plan
and
the
health
care
plan
we
have
is
self-funded
so
there's
a
number
of
pieces
in
this
self
in
this
essentially
rescue
package
for
fy18,
and
that
is
as
follows.
The
county
government
will
be
contributing
five
million
dollars
inside
of
maintenance
of
effort.
I
reference
that
a
little
bit
earlier.
The
county
government
would
be
contributing
the
15
million
dollars
outside
of
maintenance
of
effort
that
an
exclusion
was
gained
for
from
the
state.
Z
We,
the
board
of
education,
would
be
obligated
to
analyze
internally
our
expenditure
patterns
and
identify
funds
that
we
would
reallocate
from
its
current
purpose
and
repurpose
those
dollars
into
the
health
care
fund
and
then,
finally,
through
ongoing
negotiations
with
our
bargaining
units,
we
would
look
to
to
generate
either
additional
revenue
from
employees,
I.e,
higher
co-pays
or
higher
premium
splits
and
or
cost
avoidances,
and
then
the
final
piece
of
that
would
be
the
contract
that
we
negotiated
renegotiated
with
carefirst
that
runs
through
the
following
three
years,
so
those
elements
taken
together
essentially
are
targeted
at
getting
us
through
fy
18
on
the
health
insurance
fund.
Z
Z
This
plan
continues
to
make
substantive
and
significant
inroads
into
it
in
fy
18,
and
then
we
will
continue
to
make
further
inroads
into
it
as
we
go
into
fy,
19
and
fy
20.,
but
the
goal
was
essentially
to
eradicate
over
the
course
of
years.
The
structural
imbalance
within
the
fund
put
it
on
sound
and
sure
footing
so
that,
essentially,
we
can
put
this
this
looming
healthcare
crisis
behind
us
and
then
refocus
in
other
areas,
so
that
sort
of
takes
block
one
or
thematic
block
one
off
the
table.
The
second
one
is
the
compensation
element.
Z
The
recommendation,
or
the
request
of
the
board,
was
to
provide
a
step
increase
for
all
those
eligible
to
provide
a
one
percent
cola
to
those
represented
individuals
that
would
not
otherwise
be
eligible
for
a
step
increase.
Z
The
county
executive's
proposal
does
fully
align
with
the
recommendation
that
was
put
forward
by
dr
lotto
at
his
december
budget
time,
so
it
would
fully
fund
a
mathematical
equivalent
of
a
step
for
all
eligible
employees,
the
one
percent
for
those
employees
who
are
represented,
but
would
not
essentially
be
eligible,
I.e,
those
that
are
topped
out.
So
there
is
sufficient
funding
to
do
that.
Obviously,
it's
all
subject
to
negotiations
and
those
negotiations
are
ongoing
with
all
of
the
represented
groups
as
we
speak.
Z
What
was
not
funded,
however,
was
the
amendment
that
was
put
forward
by
the
board
so
for
that
supplemental
element
that
would
have
been
the
legislative
intent
of
this
body
was
to
target
that
to
those
individuals
that
were
with
us
in
that
0809
year,
so
that
has
not
been
addressed
through
the
county.
Executive's
recommendation,
the
third
and
fin
the
third
one,
obviously
is
the
monarch
school,
as
well
as
supplemental
funding
to
the
remaining
charter
and
contract
schools.
Z
So
the
two
different
pieces
of
that
is,
as
I
said,
we're
going
to
be
opening
up
a
new
modern
contract
school
in
annapolis.
They
believe
that
their
enrollment
is
going
to
be
in
the
area
of
580
ish.
Students
are
actively
working
on
that
as
we
speak,
we
do
not
see
any
impediments
from
them
being
able
to
enroll
as
many
students
as
their
contract
allows,
and
we
have
sufficient
funding
in
order
to
be
able
to
handle
the
per
pupil
allocations
for
those
students
and
then
for
our
remaining
schools.
Z
It's
essentially
a
tide
rising
all
boats
at
the
same
level.
So
when
our
budget
goes
up,
the
budgets
of
the
chesapeake
science
point
school,
the
school
out
in
the
monarch
school
in
laurel,
the
monarch
school
in
glen
burnie,
their
budgets
proportionately
rise
as
well.
So
there
is
sufficient
funding
to
handle
all
that.
Z
The
final
element,
though,
is
that
programmatic
issue-
and
we
have
to
be
you-
know
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
we
do
live
in
an
area
of
constrained
resources.
We
do
live
in
an
era
in
a
fiscally
conservative
county
but,
most
importantly,
we
live
in
a
county
that
requires
all
units
of
government,
all
component
units,
all
departments
of
the
county
government
to
work
together
and
collaboratively
to
best
ensure
that
this
county
continues
to
advance,
continues
to
support
its
citizenry
and
provide
them
the
services
that
they
need.
Z
So,
in
addition
to
board
of
education,
we
obviously
have
the
college
and
library
system,
our
sister
component
agencies
and
then
the
myriad
of
departments
within
the
county
government.
The
county
executive,
as
you
know,
in
formulating
his
budget,
has
to
take
all
of
those
in
concert
and
make
the
best
decisions.
Z
Z
There
are
limits
on
that
and
within
those
limits,
given
that
the
focus
and
priorities
on
resolving
the
healthcare
crisis
that
we're
in
and
I'm
using
the
word
crisis
deliberately
being
able
to
provide
a
compensation
package
for
the
employees
being
able
to
successfully
open
up
our
monarch
contract
school.
Well,
there's
only
so
much,
you
know
juice
in
the
orange
and
something
some
things
are
going
to
have
to
be
sacrificed.
We
all
have
to
make
hard
choices.
Z
Certainly
this
board
does
certainly
the
county
executive
did,
and
certainly
the
county
council
soon
will
have
to
do
that,
and
so
the
bulk
of
the
differential
between
what
was
funded
and
what
is
recommended
by
the
county
executive
falls
into
those
two
areas:
the
amendment
that
is
previously
referenced,
the
ones
applicable
to
the
2008
employees
and
then
to
the
programmatic
enhancements.
And,
quite
honestly,
you
know
the
focus
is
on
shoring
up
the
footing
that
we're
currently
on
before
we
you
know,
look
to
continue
to
expand
into
new
programmatic
areas,
etc.
Z
So,
as
a
result
of
that,
we
had
asked
for
123
120.3
positions
across
a
myriad
of
categories,
myriad
of
programmatic
areas.
Four
and
a
half
of
those
positions
are
recommended
for
funding.
Those
are
essentially
positions
that
are
being
transferred
or
reallocated
in
terms
of
its
cost
structure.
They
are
not
new
ftes.
Z
Those
positions
exist
today,
they're
simply
going
to
be
paid
for
in
a
different
manner,
so
we
have
the
recognition
and
the
authority
to
move
and
and
treat
and
the
funding
source
for
those
four
and
a
half
positions
differently,
but
the
remaining
approximately
116
positions
were
not
funded
within
this
budget,
again
sort
of
capstone.
Z
This
is
one
of
the
in
terms
of
dollar
amounts.
This
is
one
of
the
largest
year-over-year
increases
that
we've
received.
Clearly
19.8
million
dollars
over
maintenance
of
effort
is
a
is
a
significant
improvement
over
what
we
have
experienced
in
recent
times
and
then
on
top
of
that
26
million
dollars
in
total.
That's
inside
of
moe
is
the
fact
that
the
county
is
putting
forward
a
22.5
million
dollars
of
effort
outside
of
maintenance
of
effort
via
the
non-recurring
cost
waiver
that
was
received
from
msde.
A
On
behalf
of
the
board,
I'd
just
like
to
thank
you
alex
and
your
team.
I
know
it
takes
a
village
to
create
a
budget
and
your
work
also
with
county
executive
shu
and
his
budget
officer,
our
education
liaison
and
this
board
and
the
county
council.
This
is
what
brought
us
here
today.
I
think
it's
a
generous
budget
in
light
of
the
resources
that
we
have
available.
It's
not
perfect,
it
never
is,
and
neither
are
our
personal
budget,
so
I
think
we're
very
happy
with
with
what
we're
seeing
in
the
paper
today.
Z
So
in
the
transitioning
now
to
the
capital
budget,
the
board
of
education
and
fy
approved
fy
18
recommended
budget.
We
were
asking
for
20
240.6
million
dollars
in
aggregate
again,
that's
from
all
sources.
The
county
executive's
recommendation
for
fy
2018
is
195.3
million,
so
120
95.3
million
from
all
sources
versus
the
240.6
million
dollar
request.
But
I
need
to
put
that
into
context.
Z
I
think
some
folks
may
go
and
take
a
look
at
last
year's
budget
where
we
asked
for
240
3.6
million
dollars.
That
was
approved
and
say
well,
240.6
million
dollars
seems
a
lot
higher
than
195.3
million
dollars,
which
is
in
fact
the
recommendation
this
year,
but
there's
a
very
important
nuance.
Last
year's
budget
was
very
atypical
because
we
asked
for
94
point.
We
asked
for
appropriation
authority
for
94.1
million
dollars
via
a
federal
grant.
Z
It
was
in
support
of
a
grant
proposal
that
we
still
have
not
officially
heard
back
about
for
meade
high
school,
so
to
be
fair
year
and
year.
To
put
this
in
context
at
a
high
level,
you
essentially
have
to
back
out
that
federal
grant
backing
out
that
federal
grant
last
year,
then
so
you
can
compare
apples
to
apples.
Z
The
approved
budget
cip
budget
from
last
year
was
149.5
million
dollars.
The
recommended
budget
this
year
is
195.3
million
dollars,
so
it
is
in
fact
again
correcting
for
the
federal
grant
anomaly.
It
is
in
fact,
a
market
improvement
year
over
year
from
the
budget
that
we
currently
have
in
place
in
fy
17..
Z
We
have
a
couple
one
other
issue
that
the
board
needs
to
be
aware
of
is
that
we
are
not
as
of
yet
we've
not
yet
been
provided,
nor
have
the
other
23
leas,
with
the
final
determination
as
to
the
state
budget,
and
the
board
remembers
that
here
in
the
state
of
maryland.
We
are
fortunate
in
that
the
state,
both
the
state
of
maryland
and
the
local
county
governments
contribute
a
portion
towards
the
public
school
construction
program
efforts.
The
state
has
not
yet
finalized
their
numbers,
they've
not
yet
been
transmitted
to
the
counties
they
have.
Z
They
could
have
as
late
as
late
as
june.
The
1st
to
finalize
that
so
we're
awaiting
that
once
we're
made
aware
of
that,
we
certainly
will
transmit
that
information
expeditiously
both
to
the
board
and
the
council
with
that,
as
a
caveat,
we'll
go
back
to
an
overview
of
the
budget,
so
we
have
always
called
the
capital
budget.
This
one
paid
summary
the
red
white
and
blue
sheet
and
the
items
banded
in
a
white
bar
essentially
is
an
exact
mathematical
match.
Z
So
we
we
asked
for
a
dollars
and
we
got
eight
dollars
items
that
there
was
a
disconnect.
So
we
asked
for
one
number,
but
the
recommendation
is
for
a
different
value.
Sometimes
the
values
less.
Sometimes
the
value
could
be
more
we've
historically
banded
in
a
blue
collared
fund
and
then
finally,
those
items
that
we
requested
on
behalf
of
the
board
that
were
simply
not
funded
at
all
were
funded
as
a
zero
value
have
been
banded
in
red,
well,
you'll
notice,
in
the
exhibit
that
was
provided
to
the
board
members.
Z
Z
We
just
heard,
for
example,
the
presentation
on
the
three
elementary
schools,
the
edgewater
richard
henry
lee,
to
tyler
heights,
so
the
trajectory
of
those
projects,
the
long-term
trajectory
of
those
projects-
is
not
fundamentally
altered
by
that,
as
are
the
fully
funded
projects.
The
projects,
like
manor
view,
high
point
cromwell,
jessup,
arnold
and
crofton,
the
marquis
six
that
are
going
forward
at
this
time
again,
they're
all
fully
funded.
We
are
not
altering
the
schedule
on
those,
so
as
in
capstone,
I
think
it
is
a
an
extremely
generous
budget.
Z
I
will
say
some
of
that
is
by
great
fortune
attributable
to
the
legislation
that
the
county
executive
put
forward
and
the
county
council
ultimately
agreed
to
to
extend
the
maturity
of
the
bonds
applicable
to
schools,
because
we're
really
building
40
45
50-year
assets,
and
so
by
expanding
the
bond
duration.
It
created
bond
capacity,
additional
bonding
capacity
for
schools,
so
the
increased
level
of
effort
is
directly
correlated
to
that
initiative
that
the
county
government
put
forward.
Z
K
K
I
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
because
that's
something
that
you
know
we,
as
a
school
board
have
always
felt
is
our
obligation
that
it
shouldn't
be
up
to
ptas
to
be
funding
these
projects
that
it's
a
school
obligation
and
responsibility
to
do
this,
and
I'm
very
grateful
that
the
county
executive
has
has
realized
that
it
is
our
public
duty
to
to
provide
those
facilities
for
all
of
our
students,
not
just
the
ones
whose
parents
can
have
the
fundraisers.
K
X
Hi
alex,
thank
you
very
much
for
that
presentation.
I
just
want
to
understand
something
for
the
three
schools
that
we
heard
the
presentations
on
today.
If
I'm
reading
this
correctly,
it
looks
like
the
deltas
between
the
budget
amount
requested
and
the
budget
amount
proposed
range
between
11
and
13
million
dollars
for
each
school.
So
how
is
it
possible
that
those
projects
can
proceed
as
planned.
Z
Z
So
was
sufficient
funding
to
complete
the
designs
through
the
design,
development
and
construction
document
phase
we'll
be
able
to
create
the
bid
packages
we'll
be
able
to
get
the
permits
we'll
be
able
to
in
fact
bid
the
projects
we'll
be
able
to
do
the
site
analysis,
the
soil,
borings,
the
traffic
studies,
everything
that
it's
going
to
take
to
cue
up
the
projects
then,
should
we
have
the
good
graces
in
the
next
capital
budget,
the
fy
19
budget?
Z
We
would
receive
the
construction
dollars
to
break
ground,
so
we
will
continue
with
our
design,
permitting
bidding
and
engineering
activities
in
the
current
year
to
get
everything
lined
up
that
come
july,
1
of
next
fiscal
year.
If
we
receive
the
appropriation
authority
and
approvals
from
the
state
and
the
county
will
break
ground
at
that
time,
should
we
be
able
to
break
ground
at
that
time?
That
does
not
jeopardize
the
opening
of
the
school
the
end
date.
Our
target
opening
date
of
the
school
will
remain
as
we
have
intended
it
to
be.
X
Okay
did
the
initial
request
that
was
approved
by
a
majority
of
the
board,
basically
entails
something
going
beyond
schematic
design
and
beyond
groundbreaking,
but
actually
a
portion
of
the
construction
budget.
I'm
just
wondering
why
there's
such
a.
Z
Big
difference
sure
the
gap
essentially
is,
if
say,
for
example,
we
were
in
a
position
to
be
able
to
bid
the
projects
in
may,
which
means
we
could
bring
contract
awards
in
my
hypothetical
construct.
We
could
bid
the
project
in
may
bring
the
contract
awards
to
you
in
june.
Z
We
would
have
the
appropriation
authority
to
then
execute
those
contracts
in
the
month
of
june.
For
a
july
start
without
that
appropriation
authority,
we
would
bring
the
contracts
to
you
in
the
first
meeting
of
july
instead
of
the
last
meeting
in
june
in
fy
19..
So
you
know
there
is
a
very
small
gap
potential
there,
but
over
the
course
of
a
a
three-year
project.
Z
Z
B
I'm
very
pleased
with
both
both
of
these
budgets.
I
think
they
reflect
the
the
best
way
where
for
the
different
county
county
entity
entities,
including
ourselves
of
working
together.
B
I
want
to
commend
you
and
your
staff
and
dr
arlatto
and
county
executive
shu
and
john
hammond
and
the
council,
who
all
worked
together
to
draft
this
first
one,
because
I
think
it
really
reflects
the
priorities
of
what
we
need
and
and
again
exemplifies
how
we
all
work
together
because
we're
all
in
for
the
same
goals.
So
thank
you,
mrs.
A
Q
I
just
want
to
echo
those
comments
and
say:
I've
been
on
the
board.
A
long
time
looks
like
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
longer,
but
then
planned.
I
can't
get
rid
of
me,
but
in
my
history
experience
I
I
I
believe
this
is
the
most
collaborative.
I
want
to
thank
amelie,
brandenburg.
I
want
to
thank
county
executive
shu.
I
want
to
thank
our
superintendent,
our
board
members
we
have.
This
has
been
collaborative.
I
certainly
want
to
thank
alex
and
his
team.
Q
It's
it's
been
a
collaborative
effort,
as
stacy
said.
Not
even
our
own
budgets
are
perfect.
You
know
I
look
down
and
I
go
wait
a
minute.
I
want
tripoli
expanded
and
I've
been
yelling
about
that
for
a
while
or
wait
a
minute.
I
want
this
move
faster,
but
I
understand
within
the
constraints
and
what's
happening.
I
really
think
this
is
a
both
of
these
budgets
are
are
good
budgets.
Q
I
think
they're
collaborative
and
I
think
it's
been
a
result
of
a
lot
of
hard
work
and
effort
on
everyone's
part,
and
I
want
to
thank
the
collaborative
efforts
too,
of
our
of
our
teachers,
unions
and
our
mr
benford.
Thank
you,
you've
been
very
collaborative,
and
it's
it's
all
good.
Thank
you.
Z
Also
at
seven
o'clock,
there's
sign
ups
or
six
o'clock,
it's
a
wonderful
opportunity
for
the
citizenry
to
come
out
and
be
able
to
learn
more
about
the
budget
and
advocate
for
those
things
that
they
care
deeply
about,
be
it
the
school
district
or
any
other
concern
or
priority.
They
have.
The
county
council
is
on
a
tract,
has
a
published
calendar
that
has
them
adopting
the
budget
on
the
14th
of
june,
which
is
one
day
ahead
of
their
mandated
june
15th
completion
date.
We
will
then
bring
the
results
of
that.
Z
The
final
budget
that
will
be
adopted
by
ordinance
essentially
becomes
the
law
of
the
county
effective
july
1.
we'll
bring
that
back
to
this
board
at
their
second
meeting
of
june,
so
that
the
board
can
undertake
those
actions
required
to
reconcile
the
differentials.
The
final
differentials
between
the
adopted
appropriation
authority
budget
and
the
request
that
the
board
had
remitted
back
in
february.
A
I
want
to
echo
that
and
just
encourage
our
citizens
to
make
an
effort
to
go
to
the
public
hearing
monday
night
at
north
county
high
or
thursday
at
maryland
hall.
The
county
council
can
rubber
stamp
this
budget.
They
can
edit
it
which
could
mean
adding
money
to
it,
adding
money
to
some
items
on
our
budget
or
taking
things
away.
A
B
Z
Yes,
ma'am,
so
I
am
quite
fortunate
to
have
backup
on
this
one.
I'm
going
to
ask
mr
austin
to
come
up
and
provide
those
details
to
you.
AC
Good
afternoon
for
the
record,
I'm
anthony
olson
executive
director
of
equity
accelerated
student
achievement,
so
the
critical
friends
is
through
the
national
school
reform
faculty.
So
through
the
contract
we
were
able
to
provide
30
staff
members
within
our
system,
training
to
be
trainers
of
trainers.
AC
And
so,
as
we
looked
at
that
30,
we
looked
at
individuals
from
across
the
system,
so
individuals
from
office
of
school
performance
office
from
curriculum
instruction,
advanced
studies
and
programming
student
support
services,
human
resources,
the
the
training
is
designed
to
teach
us
protocols
to
have
the
conversations
regarding
equity,

within
