A
C
Members
of
the
board
and
dr
erlatto,
we
had
hoped
to
do
this
recognition
last
month,
but
mother
nature
had
other
plans.
Nevertheless,
I
am
pleased
to
be
here
tonight
to
talk
about
three
outstanding
young
people
who
happen
to
also
be
the
top
three
finishers
in
this
year's
30th
annual
anne
arundel
county
spelling
bee.
The
spelling
bee
is
a
partnership
of
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools
and
the
21st
century
foundation,
and
this
year's
presenting
sponsor
was
development
facility
facilitators
incorporated.
C
C
I
have
in
front
I
can,
I
can
see
they
couldn't
reagan,
jacquiren
of
monsignor
slade,
catholic
school
finished.
Second
and
eli.
Fortier
of
indian
creek
school
was
third.
These
three
and
their
fellow
competitors
showed
poise
and
confidence,
not
to
mention
an
amazing
command
of
the
english
language.
It
was
truly
inspiring
to
watch
all
of
the
spellers
received
a
medallion
and
a
prize
bag
that
contained
assorted
gift
items
and
a
commemorative
poster.
C
The
top
three
finishers
each
received
trophies
and
additional
prizes
isabelle
will
represent
our
school
system
at
the
scripps
national
spelling
bee
later
this
year.
She
also
won
an
online
subscription
to
webster's
third
international
dictionary
and
the
samuel
lewis
sugarman
award
certificate
and
savings
bond
donated
by
jay
sugarman
in
honor
of
his
father
who's,
a
lifelong
advocate
of
education.
C
D
B
Item
2.06
is
school
and
community
highlights,
and
I
wanted
to
start
that
off
myself
tonight
with.
I
think
we
are
all
aware
of
the
issues
that
have
come
to
light
at
chesapeake,
high
school
and
in
the
pasadena
community
recently.
I
know
everyone
on
this
board,
dr
arlatto
and
our
entire
staff
takes
these
matters
very
seriously.
B
B
We
aren't
perfect
and
we
want
to
get
better,
not
just
in
this
area,
but
in
every
area
when
it
comes
to
changing
attitudes
and
behaviors.
However,
we
need
our
community's
help
it's
time
for
us
to
stop
pointing
fingers
and
start
working
together.
That
is
the
only
way
we
will
overcome
this,
not
just
at
chesapeake
but
throughout
our
county,
our
state
and
our
nation
as
a
whole.
B
That
said,
I
want
to
finish
on
a
positive
note.
The
slides
that
were
up
behind
me
are
coming
back.
I
think
the
anne
arundel
parent
coalition
did
recently
with
its
recent
chalk,
walk
and
the
hashtag
chesapeake
united
initiatives
was
inspiring
and
invigorating.
The
pictures
you
see
here
capture
the
real
chesapeake.
B
D
Thank
you.
We
are
certainly-
and
I
think
these
pictures
are
wonderful
and
they
depict
the
real
positive
spirit
that
is
really
risen
up.
As
you
see
as
we
ask
our
cougars
to
rise
up
in
that
picture,
it
really
has
been
heartening
to
see
the
chesapeake
community
come
together.
D
The
coalition,
along
with
chesapeake
united,
has
really
done
a
phenomenal
job
in
starting
to
bring
the
communities
together
and
we're
appreciative
of
that.
I
think
it's
a
great
idea
to
a
presentation
we'll
be
delighted
to
do
that
for
the
board
on
may
2nd,
elevating
all
students
eliminating
all
gaps
through
access
and
equity
has
been
absolutely
the
cornerstone
and
the
underpinning
of
everything
we
have
been
doing
and
thinking
about
in
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools.
D
We
welcome
the
opportunity
to
highlight
the
good
work
of
the
office
of
equity
and
accelerate
student
achievement,
along
with
what's
happening
in
all
of
our
schools
and
across
all
of
our
departments
to
support
access
and
equity.
We've
been
focusing
for
many,
as
many
of
you
know,
to
our
board
in
areas
of
equitable
practices,
understanding
and
identifying
implicit
bias,
restorative
practices
and
cross-cultural
understanding
and
acceptance
through
professional
development.
D
D
D
We
as
a
school
system
know
the
important
role
we
play
in
growth
and
development
of
our
students,
and
we
realize
we
can
and
should
do
more
so
with
that,
we
welcome
the
opportunity
to
share
what
we
are
doing
and
what
the
challenges
are
we'll
continue
to
work
with
our
partners
throughout
the
county
to
bring
this
about.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
Thank
you.
F
Last
week
it
was
posted
by
derrick
matthews,
with
the
county
executive's
office,
from
anne
arundel,
united
and
just
to
piggyback
on
what
you
were
saying.
There
was
a
panel,
a
group
of
four
people
in
the
panel,
but
I
particularly
appreciated
some
words
from
pastor
offer,
who
reminded
all
of
us
in
the
room
that
this
is
a
community
effort.
F
Even
though
a
lot
of
the
focus
right
now
has
been
on
the
school
system
to
fix
racism
in
this
county,
because
we
do
have
the
children
for
six
or
so
hours
a
day,
but
he
reminded
everybody
in
the
room
that
it
is
a
part
of
the
community's
job.
To
do
this,
and
you
know
I
a
couple
years
ago
I
had
the
chance
to
speak
at
the
mlk
breakfast
and
I
shared
with
everybody
then,
and
I
still
believe
it
now.
Our
children
are
watching
us
who
are
we
inviting
to
the
dinner
table?
E
G
I
want
to
speak
in
reference
to
maryland
hall,
which
is
a
place
that
the
building
is
owned
by
aacps,
but
at
the
same
time,
that
is
a
place
where
our
children
go
children
of
all
races
of
all
colors
and
they
basically
are
involved
in
art
and
art
basically
brings
the
community
together.
So
that's
one
of
the
thoughts
and
that
we
should
look
at
is
placing
our
children
in
art
and
in
environments
where
they
are
working
and
sharing
together,
because
it
will
really
make
a
difference
also
in
the
sports.
Thank
you.
F
Well
to
piggyback
on
that
it
is
spring
musical
time
at
our
high
schools,
and
I
had
the
chance
to
go
see.
Anything
goes
in
annapolis,
high
school
on
friday
and
they're
doing
a
different
spin-off
on
that
this
weekend
called
the
drowsy
chaperone,
but
the
talent
always
blows
my
mind
and
the
lead.
Who
isn't
anything
goes
if
you
want
to
hear
a
broadway
voice
down
the
street
from
us,
you
need
to
go
to
the
show
this
weekend.
B
And
since
we're
talking
about
art,
I'm
going
to
share
another
watch
on
the
screen,
because
this
is
so
amazing
that
I
had
to
make
sure
everybody
could
see
it.
You
will
see
pictures
of
the
amazing
new
mural
at
on
the
english
hall
at
glen
burnie
high
school.
This
is
the
mural
club
spent
five
months,
designing
and
painting
this
90
foot
long
celebration
of
authors
as
an
english
major
and
an
avid
reader.
I
will
say
I
would
love
to
have
this
in
my
home
and
I
hope
they
will
make
posters
of
it.
B
Some
of
my
favorites
included
maya,
angelou
and
shakespeare,
and
my
fellow
university
of
virginia
attendee
edgar
allan
poe
this
a
special
shout
out
to
teacher
ryan,
mc
art,
teacher
ryan,
mccready
and
student
harry
felt
and
harry
completed
over
50
of
the
mural
by
himself.
This
is
the
third
mural
the
mural
club
has
created
at
glen
burnie,
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
what
they're
going
to
design
for
the
science
hall
next.
B
But
it
really
is
amazing
and
if
you're
out
that
way,
you
should
stop
by
and
say,
can
I
come
see
the
mural
because
it
is
awe-inspiring?
G
Talking
about
art
so
that
you
know
what
our
children
are
doing
at
maryland
hall.
There
is
a
wall
that
basically
the
children
from
bates.
So
if
you
go
to
maryland
hall
and
it's
the
exterior
wall,
they
have
basically
completed
the
whole
wall.
It's
exterior
wall,
so
this
week
it's
going
to
be
finished
and
it
will
be
put
outside
so
that
the
children
that
are
at
bates
middle
school
when
they
go
to
school
the
whole
wall
they
have
done
it.

I
Good
evening
president
hummer,
dr
lotto
and
fellow
board
members,
my
name
is
josie
ray,
and
many
of
you
know
me
as
the
president
of
crasc,
but
I'm
here
today
as
a
student
who
has
observed
the
recent
and
ongoing
racially
motivated
behaviors
in
our
community.
As
I
prepared
my
remarks,
I
realize
that
the
majority
of
what
I'm
about
to
say
is
crucial.
So
I
want
to
preface
my
statement
by
saying
that
I
love
acps
and
all
the
work
that
you
do
really.
I
I
devoted
countless
hours
of
student
activism
in
the
school
system
and
value
the
quality
of
my
education,
but
it's
time
to
be
honest
about
some
things.
We
all
understand
that
systematic
racism
is
not
a
school
issue,
it's
a
community
one,
which
is
why
I
truly
believe
that
it
falls
within
the
responsibility
of
the
school
system
to
take
on
addressing
this.
In
order
to
provide
effective
cultural
proficiency,
training
and
diversity
appreciation.
I
As
a
student
who
will
be
going
through
12
years
of
education,
I
will
spend
14
000
40
hours
in
a
classroom.
We
are
tested
on
math
reading
sciences
and
all
the
ap
areas,
but
there
is
no
direct
assessment
of
our
cultural
understanding.
We
should
ask
ourselves
if
these
areas
were
included
as
part
of
the
park
testing.
Would
the
system
focus
more
on
attention
and
resources
towards
the
quality
of
this
curriculum,
because
as
global
citizens,
which
I
believe
our
school
system
needs
to
prepare
us
to
be,
we
will
be
facing
diversity
of
all
kinds.
I
Every
day
mentioned
this
week
in
the
media
was
a
plan
to
increase
the
number
of
anti-bias
advisory
lessons
for
this
new
school
year.
I
need
to
remind
you
all
that
students
for
many
years
have
been
saying
that
advisory
lessons
are
not
effective,
especially
with
such
an
important
topic,
such
as
biased
and
racially
motivated
behaviors
administrative
programs
such
as
room
203,
the
be
nice
campaign
and
posters
on
school
walls
do
not
reach
students,
they
are
attempts,
but
posters,
hashtags,
logos,
logos
and
lessons
are
as
effective
as
tweeting
your
thoughts
and
prayers.
I
Honestly,
they
are
an
expression
of
a
wish
when
what
we
need
is
an
achievement
of
a
goal.
It
is
not
enough
to
just
be
nice.
It's
time
that
we
as
a
county
be
brave,
I
think
it's
time
to
take
a
serious
look
at
the
effectiveness
of
these
efforts
and
have
a
new
educational
approach
that
involves
the
school
and
the
community
with
bonding
actions
that
are
eye-opening
similar
to
the
not
my
child
campaign,
large
focused
emotional
and
real.
These
impacts
of
these
presentations
for
students
to
look
differently
at
themselves
and
their
conduct.
I
Speaking
of
conduct,
we
need
to
look
at
the
consequences
of
these
behaviors
in
our
schools.
Currently,
first
offenses
range
from
levels
of
five
different
levels
of
behavioral
intervention
and
despite
creating
a
threatening
hostile
environment
for
others
in
the
classroom
and
degrading
another
student's
ethnic
background.
Let's
face
it
in
2018.
Racism
is
wrong
and
certainly
not
allowed
in
our
schools.
I
So,
let's
start
making
that
clear
in
our
disciplinary
actions,
we
need
to
take
a
serious
look
at
our
priorities,
as
a
school
system
put
our
money,
time,
policy
and
human
capital
behind
creating
a
community-wide
youth-led
shift
towards
inclusivity,
understanding
and
celebration
of
our
diversity,
because
I
really
want
to
see
next
year's
capital
editorial
be
written
about
how
proud
we
are
as
a
school
system
to
overcome
these
obstacles
and
grow
as
a
community.
So
I
say,
let's
give
it
a
try
and
listen
to
what
actually
works.
Thank
you
for
my
time.
J
Good
evening
president
homer
vice
president
gilo
and
dr
aladda
distinguished
board
of
ed
members,
my
name
is
robert
silkworth,
I'm
here
again
this
evening,
representing
the
tac
high
school
concerns
committee.
On
april,
our
meeting
was
held
on
the
11th.
We
did
have
some
discussions
and
concerns
and
recommendations
about
our
half-day
pd
experience,
which
recently
occurred
on
the
17th
of
april,
as
well
as
some
recommendations
about
some
issues
with
field
trips.
We
will
be
sharing
our
concerns
and
recommendations
at
the
asi
tech
advisory
group,
which
will
be
held
tomorrow.
J
We
did
also
meet
with
the
asi
group
march
15th,
and
we
had
some
productive
discussions
about
quarterly
grades,
as
well
as
the
giving
of
the
a.c.t
tested
juniors,
which
we
felt
to
be
a
very
wise
decision
and,
of
course,
next
year's
strategic
plan.
As
always,
we
will
continue
to
collaborate
with
asi
tech.
The
concern
I
felt
worthy
of
presenting
to
you
this
evening
is
about
the
recent
student
walkout.
J
J
Our
young
people,
today's
generation,
they
do
care,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
about
what
is
happening
in
this
world
and
their
voices
are
important
and
must
be
heard,
and
I
do
believe
that
they
were
heard
loud
and
clear.
Our
concern,
however,
as
teachers
was
that
we
felt
we
needed
some
more
direction
about
where
we
should
go
from
here
at
this
point
voila
dr
arlata
great
job,
because
you
did
answer
our
questions
in
the
letter
that
you
recently
prepared
and
was
distributed
to
all
families
and
students
about
the
expectation.
J
The
expectation
of
the
school
system
was
made
very
clear.
We
thank
you
for
that.
We
will
continue
to
support
our
students
as
they
look
to
express
their
concerns
in
appropriate
ways
and
we
might
recommend
to
help
find
a
way
for
our
students
to
strategize
so
that
they
can
continue
to
voice
their
concerns
in
a
positive
and
productive
manner.
In
keeping
with
our
expectations.
J
As
you
know,
I
usually
legend
young
with
kudos
tonight.
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
to
thank
all
of
our
students,
teachers
and
staff,
who
worked
so
diligently
to
express
safety
concerns
which
were
heard
by
the
legislature
as
they
did
pass
legislation
designed
to
enhance
school
safety
here
in
anne
arundel
county
across
the
state
of
maryland.
Finally,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
it's
time
for
a
commercial.
J
We'd
like
to
invite
everyone
here,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
to
come
to
north
county
high
school
thursday,
friday
and
saturday
april,
19th,
20th
and
21st,
our
drama
department
is
putting
on
the
musical
tarzan
and
the
performance
begins
at
seven
o'clock
each
day.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
congratulations
to
miss
bittman,
miss
rego
and
erica
halsey,
a
great
job.
Our
students
are
ready
to
provide
a
great
show
that
I
know
you
will
all
enjoy,
and
finally,
I
would
also
like
to
extend
some
congratulations
to
this
three
student
candidates,
who
are
vying
for
the
board
of
ed
position.
J
You
know
what
you
know
what
mr
gillian,
I
actually
in
my
in
my
classroom.
I
have
a
lot
of
buttons.
The
kids
know
me
for
buttons.
You
can
press
this
button
press
that
button.
I
have
a
tarzan
button
and
I
have
an
applause
button
and
I
had
really
thought
about
bringing
those
buttons
so
that,
as
I
did
this
oh,
but
I
decided
not
to
do
that.
L
L
Miss
korbalak
alluded
to
the
fact
that
the
community
needs
to
get
involved.
So
I'm
here
as
a
community
activist
who's
getting
involved,
and
my
situation
is
with
annapolis
middle
school
buses
that
are
being
terminated,
effective,
2018
school
year.
I
got
involved
because
a
parent
came
to
me
last
year
to
let
me
know
that
the
school
buses
were
being
taken
away.
It
wasn't
enough
time
they
weren't
allowed
enough
time
to
find
out
that
the
school
buses
were
being
taken
away.
L
So
we
got
the
community
together
and
we
came
together
and
we
came
together
with
jolyn
davis,
alex
zarnakovich
and
les
douglas,
and
we
had
a
meeting
and
it
was
determined
that
the
buses
would
be
reinstated
until
the
2018
2019
school
year,
but
some
safety
things
were
going
to
be
put
in
place
and
things
were
going
to
be
reviewed
and
you
were
going
to
get
back
to
the
community.
L
Well,
it
was
a
break
in
that
procedure
because
we
never
got
information
back
from
that.
It
was
from
a
source
that
I
found
out
that
the
buses
would
be
terminated
again,
the
school
breakdown
with
the
board
of
education
and
those
powers
that
be
never
came
to
us
to.
Let
us
know
so.
We
in
turn
had
another
meeting
I
reached
out
to
les
douglas
I
reached
out
to
mr
mosher
to
invite
him
invite
everybody
to
the
meeting
they
declined
because
they
said
that
software
was
being
introduced
today,
and
he
couldn't
speak
on
that.
L
It's
many
safety
concerns
that
we
lined
out
back
then,
as
far
as
a
child
being
struck
on
a
bicycle.
Last
year,
two
pedestrians
being
hit
traffic
concerns,
17
breaks
in
the
road
on
the
way
to
on
the
way
to
the
school
five
businesses
prominent
businesses,
one
being
seven
eleven.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
walk
that
route
several
times,
I'm
50
years
old,
I
feel
like
I-
can
make
good
decisions.
L
As
I
approach
the
spa
road
and
forced
drive.
I
almost
was
hit
myself.
I'm
alert
you'll
have
more
than
150
kids
on
that
road
at
any
given
time,
starting
at
11
years
old.
It
is
known
that
you
don't
use
your
full
brain
until
you're,
25
and
the
decision-making
part
comes
last.
So
as
they're
work,
walking
and
horseplaying,
we
don't
want
a
casualty
before
we
see
what's
right
in
our
faces.
L
D
Oh
I'm
sorry
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
helping
with
my
microphone.
Thank
you
for
being
here
and
organizing
the
folks
to
be
here
this
evening.
Certainly,
your
voice
has
been
heard
loud
and
clear.
There
you've
not
heard
anything
from
us
because
we're
still
working
with
the
city
I've
had,
I
think
you
have
met
with
the
mayor.
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
I've
met
with
the
mayor
now
twice.
He
was
here
in
my
office
and
he
and
I
had
a
conversation
on
monday
of
this
week.
D
We've
agreed
to
get
back
together
to
continue
to
talk
about
what
we
can
do
to
address
some
of
the
safety
concerns,
so
I'm
still
working
with
the
city.
So
as
of
right
now
and
I've
had
meetings
with
the
president
of
the
board,
the
stay
is
remains
in
place
in
terms
of
the
bus
continues
and
will
stay
in
place
until
the
board
is
satisfied
that
I've
been
able
to
bring
something
back
to
them.
In
my
work
with
the
city,
it's
not
something
that
the
school
system
can
take
care
of
alone.
D
In
terms
of
safety
concerns
road
signs,
traffic
patterns,
those
kinds
of
things
are
beyond
our
control,
but
the
mayor's
agreed
to
continue
to
talk
with
me
and
he
and
our
standing
up
are
what
will
be
our
third
meeting
so.
L
D
B
All
right
next
jaden
hill,
jonathan
hill,
tony
spencer,
vivian,
spencer
and
lisa
rodvian.
N
N
Good
evening,
madam
president,
members
of
the
board
and
dr
olado,
my
name
is
anthony
j
spencer.
Most
people
know
me
by
tony,
and
I
appreciate
that
my
comments
are
on
a
different
aspect
of
the
safety
and
security.
N
N
I
was
a
firefighter
paramedic,
my
first
13
years
as
a
paramedic,
I
saw
everything
we
dealt
in
risk
management,
the
last
10
years.
I
was
in
the
farm
watchers
office
as
a
arson,
investigator
public
information
person
and
whatever
else
they
found
for
me
to
do,
and
I
in
the
last
10
years
I
had
the
opportunity
to
be
proactive
and
not
allow
things
that
had
happened
by
being
a
person
who
understood
the
code
and
helped
enforce
the
codes.
N
I
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
on
the
secured
advisory
board
for
homeland
security
in
washington
d.c
because
of
my
fire
service
background
homeland
security,
one
of
those
people
who
had
the
greatest
access
on
the
most
times
to
talk
to
them,
whether
fire,
service
and
paramedics
were
those
at
the
top
of
the
list,
because
we
went
into
restaurants,
businesses,
homes
and
we
saw
any
and
everything
I'm
pleading
to
you
tonight
for
the
security
standpoint
of
what
happens
to
these
children.
If
they're
allowed.
N
Mr
pratt
said
that
there
were
150
students.
Now
I
want
to
take
a
very
brief
scenario:
your
daughter,
not
just
your
daughters,
but
your
sons
as
well.
This
is
not.
We
talked
about
the
students
and
we
always
think
about
females
being
abducted.
It's
not
just
females,
it's
not
just
teenagers,
but
the
people
when
you
have
them
in
large
groups
when
no
one's
going
to
notice,
just
one
child
and
someone's
professional
enough
to
say
hey
how
you
doing
this
morning,
like
that
dress
the
next
day
boy.
I
like
that
book
back.
N
So
I
want
you
to
think
about
the
security
side,
not
just
the
safety
side,
the
two
two
different
things:
they
have
two
different
results,
and
I
want
to
leave
you
with
this.
Just
this
small
saying
we
live
in
a
time
when
evil
and
opportunity
presents
itself
to
add
to
our
collective
challenge
of
running
the
school
system.
N
Thank
you
for
your
service.
Listen,
I
understand
your
decisions
are
not
easy,
but
the
young
lady
said
it.
We
have
to
work
together
and
you
can't
just
put
it
on
the
school
system.
We
need
the
homes
very
much
involved
and
when
we
don't
have
students
that
have
parents,
the
community
is
still
responsible
for
that
student.
So
so
I
want
to
thank
you
for
what
you're
doing
any
way
I
can
possibly
help
you
I'm
available,
I'm
retired.
Now
god
bless
you.
B
M
A
O
President
gilliland
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
lisa
rodvian
and
I
am
a
secondary
teacher
in
aacps
and
I
am
a
resident
of
the
city
of
annapolis.
I
am
here
tonight
to
respectfully
request
that
you
reject
any
proposal
to
end
bus
service
for
annapolis,
middle
school
students
who
live
in
communities
along
forest
drive,
including
new
town,
20,
annapolis,
walk
greenbriar
and
woodside
gardens.
O
While
your
stated
policy
ensures
that
walking
paths
are
checked
for
safety,
I
cannot
imagine
how
the
sidewalks
along
forest
drive
could
be
considered
a
safe
path
with
high
speed
traffic
in
both
directions.
There
is
little
margin
of
error
for
both
the
drivers
and
the
students
themselves,
working
with
middle
schoolers
on
a
daily
basis.
O
I
can't
begin
to
count
the
number
of
times
I've
watched
young
people
chip
and
fall
over
their
own
feet,
because
their
own
feet
are
an
inch
longer
than
they
were
the
day
before,
due
to
their
rapidly
growing
bodies,
one
tiny
misstep
along
their
path
could
become
deadly.
Furthermore,
we
can't
just
discuss
safety
for
ideal
weather
conditions.
O
We
must
ensure
safety
for
the
worst
weather
conditions.
Any
type
of
inclement
weather
makes
the
margin
of
error
for
driver
and
student
even
smaller
in
the
winter,
when
snow
is
shoveled
off
the
road
and
onto
the
sidewalks.
Those
sidewalks
can
remain
impassable
for
weeks
before
melting.
At
that
point,
there
is
simply
no
place
for
students
to
walk
except
the
roadway
itself,
which
may
be
icy
and
where
the
speed
limit
is
40
miles
per
hour.
O
I
ask
how
many
of
you
would
opt
to
walk
to
work
on
the
roadway
on
an
icy
road
every
morning,
besides
the
obvious
dangers
of
young
people
walking
along
a
very
busy
high
speed,
roadway,
there's
pr,
perhaps
another,
even
more
likely
danger,
students
left
with
no
safe
path
to
school
and
no
ride
will
simply
not
attend.
School
aacps
has
adopted
the
motto,
elevating
all
students
eliminating
all
gaps
when
many
of
the
students
who
will
be
impacted
by
the
loss
of
this
bus
route
are
already
already
face
significant
obstacles
in
their
education.
O
I
do
not
understand
how
aacps
can,
in
good
conscience,
consider
removing
bus
transportation
for
this
group
of
students.
On
behalf
of
my
fellow
anapolitans
in
the
neighborhoods
along
forest
drive,
I
respectfully
request
that
you
continue
to
offer
the
existing
bus
service
for
these
annapolis
middle
school
students.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Miss
rodvian.
P
Good
afternoon
board,
my
name
is
jaden
hill,
I'm
concerned
about
the
bus
situation.
I
think
I
think
that
when
the
kids
have
to
walk
and
they
get
to
school,
they'll
and
the
teachers
say
we're
ready
to
do.
Work,
they'll
already
be
tired
and
they
wouldn't
really
feel
like
doing
any
work.
And
yet
I
think.
P
That
yeah,
they
won't
be
able
to
do
any
work
because
they're
already
worn
out
by
asthma
and
any
type
of
sickness
they
have,
and
also
with
the
safety
problem
that,
when
my
brother
two
weeks
ago,
he
got
hit
by
another
car
on
forced
drive
and
it
was
his
car
was
really
messed
up.
So
I
didn't
think
that
was
safe
for
the
kids
to
walk
there.
M
How
you
doing
boy,
my
name
is
jonathan
hill,
I'm
the
father
of
this
young
handsome
guy
right
here.
My
issues
are
also
with
the
bus
route.
It
has
a
lot
pretty
much
everything
to
do
with
safety,
and
I
know
you
all
have
the
claws
about
how
long
it
is
that
you
can
actually
walk
to
school,
but
so
I
just
came
up
with
a
couple
of
things
that
was
definitely
overlooked
as
a
safety
issue
and
adding
more
traffic
on
forest
drive
so
taking
away
the
school
buses
in
any
neighborhood.
M
When
you
take
when
the
school
bus
is
going
to
the
neighborhood,
they
have
the
stop
sign
and
it
holds
up
traffic
from
funneling
out
onto
forest
drive
taking
away
those
school
buses
will
actually
let
traffic
freely
come
out
on
force
drive
and
the
parents
having
to
take
their
children
to
school.
It
would
literally
add
traffic
to
forest
drive.
M
I'm
a
truck
driver
by
trade.
I'm
an
author
jaden
is
also
author,
and
I
talk
to
a
lot
of
kids
about
truck
driving
about
writing
books
and
things
of
that
sort.
I'm
a
community
activist
also
one
of
the
things
as
a
truck
driver.
I
know
is
right:
past
american
legion
on
forest
drive
there
is
that
that
part
of
the
road
is
smaller
than
all
the
rest
of
fourth
drive
and
I've
literally
seen
trucks
jump
that
curve,
because
a
truck
in
the
car
has
a
hard
time
coming
together
on
that
road.
M
So
that's
something
that's
going
to
be
kind
of
crazy.
Then
you
have
distracted
drivers.
You
know
nobody,
nobody
drives
without
a
cell
phone
in
their
hand,
you
know,
even
though
that's
the
rule,
everybody
drives
with
a
cell
phone
in
the
hand
whether
they're
looking
to
get
a
text
or
change
their
music
on
their
on
their
phone.
It's
it's
just
not
it's
not
good!
On
forrest
drive.
Also
in
the
last
past
five
years,
there's
been
two
individuals
that
were
decapitated
by
cars
on
ford's
drive.
They
literally
had
to
find
one
guy.
M
They
had
to
find
his
head.
They
was
looking
for
his
head
for
two
hours
so
and
this
is
a
grown
man
whose
body's
put
together
these
children
they're
not
even
finished
growing.
Yet
so
it's
not
gonna,
it's
gonna.
Can
you
imagine
a
parent
trying
to
go
down
there
and
say
hey.
You
know,
let
me
see
my
child
they're
not
gonna
when
they
do
see.
M
They're,
never
gonna,
forget
that
also
they're
60
registered
over
60
versus
sex
defenders
and
when
something
like
this
gets
out
their
predators
already
so
they're
going
to
actually
go
towards
what
they
know
that
they
can.
You
know
the
the
predation
on
the
kids
and
that's
not
going
to
be
beneficial
for
anybody.
Then
you
have
a
methadone
clinic
right
right
on
the
path
right
on
their
path,
and
these
are
individuals
who
are
on
drugs
trying
to
get
off
drugs,
which
I
really
never
got.
M
And
then
you
have
children
who
shows
up
late,
who
have
to
walk
for
themselves,
walk
by
themselves
also
right
there,
just
before
you
get
to
the
methadone
clinic.
Yet
last
year
there
was
a
young
man
found
dead
in
those
woods.
M
Here's
the
here's,
the
funny
part
about
that
when
you
have
a
person
that
says
you
know
it's:
okay,
to
dump
a
body
right
here:
it's
because
they
don't
believe
that
anybody's
gonna
see
them.
So
imagine
you'll
have
time
to
hide
right.
There
snatch
your
kid
right.
There
do
anything
you
want
to
do
right
there,
so
my
whole
issue
is
with
the
safety
and
we
really
really
can't
be
that
kind
of
inhuman
to
take
buses
away
from
children
in
such
an
unsafe
element
and
environment.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr

Q
Q
R
Superintendent
are
lotto,
president
homer
and
members
of
the
board,
I'm
dr
vivian
guest
spencer,
a
retired
educator
who
spent
the
last
45
years
of
my
life
in
the
classroom
with
young
students
this
evening,
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
alderman
sheila
finlayson,
also
former
educator,
unfortunately
she's
able
to
un
to
attend
this
evening's
meeting
due
to
minor
surgery
she
had
to
undergo
today,
so
she
was
unable
to
complete
the
remarks
she
wished
to
present.
B
S
S
My
concern
is,
I
have
three
younger
sons
that
well
two
of
them
will
be
going
to
the
middle
school
next
year.
I
have
one
that's
going
in
now,
so
this
bus
problem
will
affect
him
if
it's
taken
away,
but
then
next
year
I'll
have
two
going
so
now
I
have
two
boys
that'll
have
to
take
that
walk
and,
like
has
been
said
before
the
traffic,
even
though
it's
posted
40
miles
an
hour,
you
know
nobody
is
driving
40
miles
an
hour.
S
Okay,
so
and
again
children
tend
to
play
around
this,
a
matter
of
fact
just
the
last
storm
we
had
and
I'm
watching
my
son,
the
oldest
one,
that
has
to
go,
walk
to
the
bus,
stop
and
I
watched
him
walking
and
it
was
a
patch
of
ice
and
he
was
playing
on
he
didn't
he
didn't
know.
I
was
watching
him
and
he
was
playing
on
it
and
he
slipped.
S
Okay.
You
know,
kids,
do
that.
You
know
they
get
on
the
ice
and
they
want
to
slide
and
he
slipped.
So
the
problem
with
you
know,
forrest
drive
in
that
area
where
the
when
the
snow
is
is
knocked
off
the
street
up
onto
the
curb.
There
is
no
sidewalk,
you
know,
and
then
the
street
is
is
is,
is
icy,
so
their
app
to
play,
and
you
know
it
could
be
a
whole
lot
of
problems.
S
You
know
my
issue
is
how
much
of
an
inconvenience
would
it
be
for
them
to
just
continue
what
they're
doing
and
going
into
these
neighborhoods
and
picking
the
children
up
and
coming
back
out,
as
was
said
before,
whenever
those
buses
come
in
the
signs
flip
out
traffic
stops,
you
know
the
kids
get
on
the
bus,
they
wait.
Till
everybody's
set
is
seated
and
then
when
no
signs
going
in
traffic
continues
and
that
right
there
in
itself
is
a
is
a
is
a
safe
way
to
get
our
kids
back
and
forth
to
school.
S
You
know
so
I'm
here
you
know.
As
what
was
said,
you
know
by
the
the
superintendent
about
being
sad
and
angry
about.
You
know
the
cultural
situation
that
we
have
in
this
country
right
now,
but
you
know
how
how
much
more
decent
would
it
be
to
just
continue
with
the
bus
service
the
way
it
is
because
to
my
understanding,
it's
not
really
cutting
into
any
budget.
S
You
know
it's
not
costing
any
more
money
to
do
it.
So
you
know
it's
just
you
know
just
just
to
be
real.
It
seems
like
a
lot
of
issues.
The
fact
that
parents
have
to
come
out
here
and
express
anger
about
their
children
going
to
school
when
the
things
they
should
be
concerned
about
is
them
coming
home,
doing
their
homework
getting
prepared
for
the
next
day.
S
T
Good
evening
board
members,
my
name
is
william
pratt,
I'm
here
with
a
high
level
of
concern,
also
for
the
safety
for
our
kids,
as
roger
clavery
was
saying
about
the
the
prices
and
the
cost.
You
know
I
like
to
ask
you:
what
would
be
the
cost
of
your
child?
T
What
would
be
the
cost
of
your
child
if
you
was
to
think
of
your
child?
What
would
be
the
cost
of
your
child
when
we
sit
and
we
put
policies
in
policies
in
place
before
we
actually
evaluate
and
look
at
the
circumstances,
the
safety
situations?
That's
always
already
been
talked
about
just
at
hand.
I
think,
as
a
board.
I
think
we
could
come
together
a
little
bit
more
and
really
research
the
development
and
be
a
little
more
proactive
than
reactive.
T
T
I
say,
like
george
gelato
said,
I'm
a
bit
angry
about
it,
because
I
think
when
we
make
policies
and
and
we
make
decisions
based
on
other
people's
lives,
we
don't
think
of
the
lives
based
on
if
this
was
my
child.
If
this
was
my
child,
what
would
the
decision
be?
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
time.
F
Mr
pratt,
I
I
agree
with
you
about
the
proactive.
I
regularly
commute
forest
drive.
I
know
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
that
sidewalk
and
kids
hustling
around
and
somebody
gets
nudged
into
the
street.
My
understanding
is
that
there's
some
pathways
kind
of
behind
communities
along
that
section
of
annapolis-
maybe
you
know
maybe
you're,
maybe
it's
still
dirt.
Maybe
it's.
You
know
riding
your
bike
playing
with
your
friends.
T
Thank
you.
I
totally
agree
with
your
comment,
but
even
in
the
level
of
taking
kids
through
a
path
through
woods,
we've
already
raised
the
level
of
concern.
We
have
a
methadone
clinic,
we
have
kids
being
abductive
people
being
murdered
bodies
being
dropped
again.
What
would
your
decision
be
if
it
was
your
child.
V
U
Live
down,
woodside
gardens
and
I
feel
as
though
I'm
the
only
parent
from
down
there,
because
they
don't
believe
or
trust
y'all,
that
y'all
really
have
your
best
interest
in
the
parents
or
the
children
down
there
in
the
community
because,
like
how
y'all
took
away
how
y'all
reaching
the
school
district
without
anybody
really
knowing
about
it.
So
they
really
don't
think
you're
going
to
really
consider
us
that
our
children,
our
state,
their
safety
and
every
parents
don't
have
cars
to
take
their
children
to
school.
U
Every
morning
they
don't
everybody,
don't
have
support
system
where
they
know
somebody
will
watch
their
children
while
they're
at
work.
So,
therefore,
I
feel
as
though
y'all
being
inconsiderate
as
me
as
a
parent,
because
I'm
I
don't
really
have
a
support
system,
but
I
feel
as
though
y'all
need
to
take
consideration
and
just
leave
the
bus.
The
way
that
it
is,
it
works
with
everybody's
work
schedule.
W
W
You
know
like
we're
saying
the
same
things,
so
I'm
not
sure
what
what
it
is
that
they
can
say
that's
going
to
change
your
position.
So
I'm
hoping
you
know
we're
going
to
reinstate
the
school
buses
like
we
did
in
november,
but
I
want
it
to
be
hopefully
going
forward
not
just
2018-19
year,
but
just
going
forward.
W
So
we
should
have
some
kind
of
say
so
in
you
know
what
happens
with
that,
and
also
I'm
sorry,
I'm
just
going
all
over
the
place,
but
also,
instead
of
just
the
the
software
system,
is
not
a
human
right,
so
they're
just
like
looking
at.
However,
the
satellite
thing
is,
you
know,
measuring
the
mileage,
but
it's
not
really
looking
at
the
human
part.
So,
like
tony
was
saying
you
know,
if
you
guys
go
out
and
do
the
walk
with
them.
W
You'll
actually
get
the
human
aspect
you
can
see
what's
going
on
and
what
these
young
people
are
gonna
be
faced
with
what
else,
so
I
mean
I
just.
I
just
can't
understand
how
we're
still
here
with
this-
and
I
don't
know-
I
don't
know.
W
W
In
terms
of
like
I
mean
you
know,
maybe
you
need
to
do
that
like
we
need
to
readdress
the
policy,
probably
right,
because
I
mean
you're,
saying
mile
and
a
half
or
a
mile
in
whatever
it
is
that
the
secondary
students
have
to
walk,
but
we
have
to
also
look
at
like.
Is
it
safe
for
them?
So
is
there?
Is
there
a
clause
for.
D
D
B
Well,
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
question
answer
time
but,
as
we
said
at
the
beginning,
there's
no
final
decision
has
been
made
about
this
route,
we're
we're
taking
all
the
input
and
it
will
come
up,
but
there
is
not
the
currently.
This
bus
is
still
in
place
and
it's
not
has
not
been
removed
and
it
will
be
all
these
factors
will
be
considered
when,
when
we're
making
decisions
moving
forward
well,.
W
X
Good
evening
president
superintendent
and
board
of
education
thanks
for
having
me
tonight,
my
name
is
aaron
snell,
I'm
a
parent
of
three
youngsters
in
the
school
system,
although
my
kids
are
not
attending
the
middle
school.
Yet
I'm
also
the
citizens
advisory
committee
representative
for
the
annapolis
cluster
elementaries,
and
I'm
not
here
in
an
official
capacity
for
that
tonight.
But
in
that
role
I
do
hear
the
concerns
of
the
citizens
in
my
cluster,
and
I
have
heard
a
lot
of
concern
about
the
bus
route
and
I
haven't.
In
fact
I
haven't
heard
anything
positive.
X
And
when
I
see
that
it
tells
me
that
the
leadership
capacity
and
the
innovation
capacity
is
there
to
find
some
creative
solutions
and
with
this
busing
issue,
we're
trying
to
promote
access
and
equity
and
putting
more
barriers
for
students,
especially
students
who
are
likely
to
come
from
homes
that
are
stressed
financially.
If
we're
coming
from
public
housing
and
subsidized
housing.
There's
a
higher
likelihood
of
some
financial
stress,
so
I'm
not
sure
why
it
makes
sense.
X
We
don't
want
to
create
any
more
additional
barriers
and
one
thing
that
I
never
would
have
thought
of,
but
talking
to
some
high
school
students.
I
didn't
know
that.
There's
a
lot
of
conflict
between
different
public
housing
communities
in
our
area
and
the
high
school
students
expressed
to
me
that
they
were
they
would
not
go
on
that
route
if
it
were
them
because
they
have
beef
with
other
neighborhoods
and
they
were
concerned
about
having
their
backs
exposed
on
a
busy
road.
X
So
I
just
that's
something
I
never
would
have
crossed
my
mind,
but
forest
is
so
out
in
the
open
there
and
we're
coming
from
kids,
who
might
have
more
stresses,
and
so
we
should
be
removing
barriers,
not
adding
barriers.
So
I
ask
you,
I
don't
think
fixing
the
path
is
the
answer.
I
think
the
policy
needs
to
change
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
students.
Y
Hello
hi,
my
name
is
anna
drury
and
I
have
a
13
year
old
son
who
attends
annapolis
middle
school.
I
happen
to
live
in
newtown,
20
neighborhood
and
have
for
nearly
10
years
the
the
route
that
you
have
proposed
that
these
children
walk
is,
as
you
know,
and,
as
everyone
has
said,
is
extremely
dangerous.
Y
It's
within
a
foot
to
two
of
the
actual
cars
going
by
at
50
miles
per
hour.
I
don't
want
my
child
there.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
during
during
the
the
bad
weather
that
we
had.
I
began
to
take
my
son
to
school
each
morning
because
I
didn't
want
him
to
be
in
the
cold
and
everything
like
that.
I'm
like
that,
but
I
tracked
the
miles
it's
actually
from
my
front
door
to
the
school.
The
exact
path
is
1.6
miles.
I
know
that's.
Y
You
know
point
this
and
point
that
it's
it's
split
in
hairs,
but
it's
at
the
the
very
maximum
of
what
you
guys
allow
secondary
students
to
walk,
not
to
mention
they
have
to
go
through
two
public
housing
neighborhoods,
which
I
know
because
I
live
there,
riddled
with
crime
drugs
at
every
turn
and
who's
to
say
on
that
route
every
morning
going
to
pick
up
something
that
they
shouldn't
pick
up.
Y
Now
down
there
there's
a
lot
of
single
parent.
I
know
I
am
one
single
parent
families.
We
don't
all
have
cars,
I'm
fortunate
enough
to
have
one,
but
I
know
many
of
my
neighbors:
do
not
those
children
wake
up
late
or
if
it's
a
bad
weather
day,
something
like
that,
I'm
not
sending
my
child
out
there,
I'm
not
gonna,
do
it.
I
won't
do
it.
It's
just
it's
a
shame
that
we
even
have
to
be
here
to
address
this
kind
of
concern.
Y
I
would
think
that
anyone
who
walks
that
path
and
I've
done
it-
I've
lived
here.
I
even
went
to
that
school
many
many
years
ago.
We
didn't
have
as
much
problems
as
we
have
this
at
this
time,
but
it's
it's
a
shame
that
we
even
have
to
be
here
to
address
this
issue
when
it's
clear
that
it's
a
very
dangerous
road
and
not
safe
for
anybody
not
to
say
for
anyone
really
let
alone
11
year
old
children
and
with
now
they
have
the
tablets
and
the
phone
and
everybody
nobody's
paying
attention.
Y
Z
Z
Z
Would
I
be
here
if
that
w,
if
my
son
was
going
to
be
affected
by
this?
Yes,
I
would
but
my
son
graduated
two
years
ago
from
mount
st
joe,
but
I'm
here
tonight
because
I
have
family
and
I
have
friends
that
have
children
that
are
going
to
be
affected
by
this
now
I
feel
like
I
really
don't
have
too
much
more
to
say,
because
everybody
back
here
pretty
much
said
everything
almost
pretty
much
everything
I
was
going
to
say,
but
it's
safety
safety
safety.
Z
I
can't,
and
even
when
I
told
my
son
I
was
coming
to
the
meeting
tonight,
he's
like
yeah,
you
need
to
be
there.
He
told
me
I
need
to
be
there.
He
said
that
it
wasn't
right
that
that
those
kids
would
have
to
walk
to
school
on
that
road.
And
again
I
can't
I
say
again:
I'm
a
truck
driver
just
like
jonathan
I'm,
a
truck
driver,
and
I
see
kids
not
just
going
to
annapolis
middle
any
school.
When
I
see
them
come
off
the
bus
they're
not
paying
attention
to
anything.
Z
You
know,
there's
plenty
of
commercials
about
out
on
tv
about,
you
know,
being
distracted.
Drivers,
teenage
drivers
and
a
teenager
walking
with
their
phone,
is
even
worse
than
a
teenager,
driving
with
their
phone
and
on
sports
drive.
I
know
for
for
a
fact
that
that
is
just
one
of
the
most
deadliest.
You
know
streets
to
leave,
150
vulnerable
kids,
that
that
could
be
left
up
to
anything
I
mean,
like
everybody's,
been
saying
the
kidnapping
trafficking,
not
to
mention.

Traditionally
seniors
request
a
partial
schedule,
leaving
our
high
schools
without
taking
full
advantage
of
a
variety
of
courses
that
we
offer
to
develop
both
academic
skills
and
important
21st
century
work.
Skills
students
are
choosing
to
go
home
early
instead
of
challenging

only
43
percent,
have
obtained
a
satisfactory
college

career
ready

B
Miss
davenport,
I
agree
with
you.
100
and
my
kids
have
all
been
told:
you're
taking
a
full
load
senior
year,
don't
even
think
about
it.
The
davenport
boys
and
I
would
like
to
propose
to
the
board
that
we
refer
this
to
our
policy
committee,
to
consider
moving
forward
to
miss
sasso,
our
policy
committee
chair
and
dr
a
lot
of
your
staff
that
serves
on
there.
If
there's
no
objection
from
the
board,
I
recommend
that
we
pass
this
on
to
the
policy
committee
to
address
and.
D
AA
Good
evening,
dr
arlato
president,
homer
and
board
members,
thank
you
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
come
before
you
this
evening.
As
a
collective
group
of
school
administrators
participating
in
a
county
supported,
p
h
d
program
through
notre
dame,
we
would
like
to
share
with
you
our
thoughts
regarding
the
aecps
grading
policy
and
regulation.
AA
Last
year,
the
school
system
revised
this
policy
and
regulation
at
all
grade
levels.
However,
the
opportunity
for
mastery
commonly
referred
to
as
the
redo
policy
was
not
included
for
the
elementary
level.
We
are
proposing
that
the
board
considers
including
an
opportunity
for
mastery
or
redo
in
the
elementary
portion
of
the
regulation.
AA
At
the
time
of
the
revision,
the
command
the
committee
working
on
this
policy
and
regulation
assumed
that
elementary
school
teachers
provided
students
with
the
opportunity
to
redo
assessments
or
assignments.
Speaking
from
our
experience
working
in
elementary
schools,
we
are
finding.
This
is
not
always
the
case.
What
one
teacher
considers
working
to
mastery
and
being
provided
an
opportunity
to
redo
an
assignment
is
not
the
same.
For
another
teacher,
there
is
a
lack
of
consistency
amongst
our
elementary
schools.
AA
Regarding
the
redo
policy,
several
schools
are
in
the
process
of
creating
their
own
version
of
the
redo
policy
to
provide
guidelines
where
there
are
currently
none.
We
find
that
many
parents
are
under
the
perception
that
the
elementary
schools
follow
the
same
grading
procedures
as
the
middle
schools
and
high
schools,
and
this
is
not
the
case.
AB
AB
Students
may
choose
which
assessments
and
assignments
they
retake,
except
for
district
assessments
after
an
assignment
or
assessment,
has
been
redone.
The
higher
grade
shall
be
the
grade
of
record
and,
lastly,
teachers
shall
assign
a
minimum
grade
of
50
percent
to
assignments
or
assessments,
for
which
the
student
made
a
good
faith
effort.
If
a
student
does
no
work
on
an
assignment
or
assessment,
the
teacher
shall
assign
a
grade
of
zero.
AB
We
believe
that
these
changes
will
provide
consistency
amongst
elementary
schools,
while
also
providing
consistency
for
parents
as
students
matriculate
to
middle
and
high
school.
Thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
share
our
perspective
with
you
moving
forward.
We
hope
that
you
will
consider
our
proposals
to
these
changes
in
the
grading
policy
and
regulation.
Thank
you.
B
Well,
thank
you
very
much
and
again
I
say
that
I
would
like
to
refer
this
to
the
policy
committee
to
take
a
look
at
if
there's
no
objection
from
the
board,
ms
nally.
B
AE
Good
evening
my
name
is
shannon
schwallenberg,
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
the
bullying
policy
in
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools.
The
last
thing
any
parent
wants
for
their
child
is
to
return
home
upset
from
school,
fearful
or
injured.
According
to
the
anne
arundel
county
2017
mds-3
secondary
survey
during
the
2016-17
school
year,
49
of
students
and
56
percent
of
staff
members
in
anne
arundel
county
schools
felt
harassment
of
students
was
a
problem
at
a
recent
board
of
ed
meetings.
AE
AE
Others
complain
that
when
the
county
did
respond,
they
unacceptable
solutions,
such
as
forcing
friendship
between
the
victim
and
the
bully.
Most
speakers
shared
that
they
felt
the
school
system
enforced
little
to
no
consequences
to
the
offenders.
When
bullying
was
witnessed
or
reported,
it
was
truly
heartbreaking
to
hear
how
experiences
with
bullying
have
caused
some
students
to
hate
attending
school
or
contemplate
taking
their
own
lives.
AE
After
reviewing
administrative
procedures
from
other
local
school
systems,
we
discovered
that
when
a
report
is
filed,
all
parents
of
students
involved
must
be
notified.
On
the
same
day
that
the
report
is
received,
we
suggest
the
regulation
be
amended
to
require
a
response
to
the
filer
within
one
school
day
of
receipt.
In
order
to
acknowledge
that
the
report
has
been
received
and
the
incident
will
be
investigated.
AE
AE
AE
It
also
does
not
create
enough
accountability
to
ensure
that
all
forms
are
followed
up
on
in
a
timely
manner.
Another
issue
with
the
regulation
is
that
there
is
no
specific
timeline
for
completing
the
investigation
process.
Neighboring
counties
have
regulations
which
include
strict
timelines
that
require
completed
investigation
forms
to
be
completed
by
the
principal
within
14
days.
After
the
receipt
of
a
complaint,
we
encourage
anne
arundel
county
to
adopt
simul
similar
regulation
in
order
to
ensure
the
investigations
are
completed
within
a
reasonable
time
frame,
demonstrating
that
student
safety
is
a
top
priority.

Hello,
my
name
is
amaris
hall,
and
last
year
I
attended
eighth
grade
adam
at
an
anne
arundel
public
school.
I
had
first
moved
in
the
middle
of
my
eighth
grade
year
from
hawaii
to
the
state
I
am
currently
diagnosed
with
adhd
dyslexia,
autism,
asperger's,
generalized
anxiety
order,
social
anxiety
and
major
depressive
disorder.
AF
So
I
also
something
I
also
experienced
in
my
new
school
is:
there
are
fights
about
once
a
week,
often
in
the
cafeteria,
where
students
would
cluster
together
so
that
to
prevent
other
teachers,
it
created
an
unsafe
environment.
For
me
where
my
old
school
had
had
little
to
no
fights
ever
and
I
currently
felt
unsafe
going
to
school.
I
was
very
academic
based
and
I
felt
like
I
was
not
challenged
enough.
So
eventually
I
fell
into
a
depression
which
caused
me
to
be
committed
to
the
psychiatric
ward
of
john
hopkins
hospital
for
suicidal
ideations
in
may.
AF
AF
I
had
already
turned
in
my
final,
which
she
promptly
threw
out,
did
not
apologize
for
and
then
on
my
report
card.
She
wrote
a
comment
that
said
absences
affect
achievement
because
I
was
absent.
Apparently,
she
felt
that
she
had
the
right
to
give
me
a
zero
for
everything,
no
matter
what
I
had
turned
in,
or
the
fact
that
every
other
teacher
had
given
me
an
excused
absence.
AF
I
did
not
return
after
my
stay
at
john
hopkins
because
I
felt
unsafe
and
I
had
constant
panic
attacks
at
school
or
even
the
thought
of
going
back.
I
was
scared
that
I
wouldn't
be
safe,
mentally
or
physically
at
my
new
school,
and
I
just
really
hope
that
this
can
be
taken
into
consideration
where
the
special
needs
kids
will
get
our
rights
in
schools
right
now,
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about,
hopefully,
the
physical
safety
of
students,
while
they're
walking
to
school.
I
also
hope
that
their
mental
safety
will
be
taken
into
account.
D
AG
AG
A
lot
of
speech
and
debate
and
model
u.n
and
all
the
other
little
clubs
she's
involved
in
it,
took
a
lot
of
therapy
to
get
her
here.
So
just
to
piggyback
off
of
what
she
said.
My
main
concern
is
about
504s
and
children's
mental
health
and,
as
you
know,
may
is
coming
up
it's
children's
mental
health
month
as
a
former
educator
of
13
years.
AG
I
am
very
appalled
at
what
anne
arundel
county
offers
our
children
with
mental
health
needs
and
504s
ieps
early
intervention
services,
you
name
it.
I
also
have
a
son
who
had
our
intervention
in
hawaii
and
who
has
been
denied
twice,
but
child
fine.
But
that's
not
a
here
thing.
That's
another
meeting
I
have
to
go
to
so
on
with
mental
health.
She
talked
about
wanting
to
kill
herself.
AG
Last
year
we
were
not
offered
the
in-home
hospital,
which
I
found
out
from
mr
bible
when
I
met
with
him
last
summer,
when
my
husband
had
to
take
off
work
from
serving
his
country
in
the
u.s
air
force.
That's
why
we're
here
not
my
choice,
so
when
my
husband
has
to
take
off
work
for
maybe
four
to
six
times
every
month
to
help
me
out
at
these
meetings
to
help
fight
for
my
daughter's
rights,
her
rights
in
school
just
to
have
a
free
and
appropriate
education,
I
don't
think
that's
necessary.
AG
AG
AG
I
don't
think
it's
fair
that
I
asked
a
counselor
for
help
and
asked
for
these
services
when
we
first
moved
here
from
hawaii
and
were
denied
them
many
times
at
macarthur
middle
school
and
I'm
sorry,
but
that's
what
happened,
and
then
mr
bible
and
our
school
liaison
officer
had
the
good
idea
to
make
an
out
of
air
transfer
for
medical
issues
to
first
to
severena
park.
We
did
that
she
had
a
great
time
at
severna
park.
Instead
of
going
to
meet
based
on
the
you
know,
the
park
scores
and
the
school
and
climate
surveys.
AG
Severna
parkwood
has
served
her
well.
She
did
great
there.
She
thrived
in
the
learning
environment
with
other
people
at
the
same
academic
level.
However,
she
got
kicked
out
of
school
on
january
25th
because
they
would
not
accept
her
out
of
area
transfer
because
apparently
ayan
asked
for
a
504
and
an
independent
evaluation,
education
and
independent
education
evaluation,
which
is
another
thing
which
you
probably
heard.
My
friend
sarah
davis
talk
about
last
month,
so
we're
in
the
same
boat.
I
would
like
things
to
change.
You
have
my
contact
information.
AH
My
name
is
dave
dollins,
I'm
a
minority
just
like
the
previous
speaker
were
minorities
were
parents
of
children
with
special
needs
and
the
same
like
she
was
saying:
we're
discriminated
against
within
anne
arundel
county.
The
rules
are
made
up,
language
is
made
up.
AH
Regulations
are
reinterpreted
to
deny
our
kids
that
the
fate
that
they
deserve
grades
are
manipulated.
I'm
sure
I
can't
tell
you
anything
that
you
haven't
already
heard
when
you
look
at
the
numbers
for
anne
arundel
county,
the
school
population
for
anne
arundel
county.
The
growth
has
been
9
over
the
last
10
years.
I
believe
that's
correct
special
education,
average
student
population
is
13
across
the
country.
AH
Anne
arundel
county
had
13,
I
think,
about
13
or
14
years
ago,
and
for
the
last
10
years
it's
been
nine
and
a
half
percent
three
and
a
half
percent
under
under
the
national
average.
When
we
go
into
an
iep
meeting,
it's
it's
almost
combat
where
it's
so
adversarial.
It
depends.
So
we
heard
from
the
young
lady
before,
where
she's
not
getting
her
grades,
passed
when
you're
trying
to
get
an
iep
for
your
child,
you
get
all
the
help
you
need.
AH
The
grades
are
manipulated.
The
the
staff
tells
you
how
well
your
students
doing.
They
put
you
on
a
weight
to
fail
process,
which
means
as
long
as
your
grades
are
good.
There
aren't
any
issues
right
and
then
the
grades
are
manipulated,
the
grading
policy
isn't
followed
and
the
grades
are
kept
up,
whether
it's
they
excuse
me
they
they
don't
adhere
to
the
late
policy.
The
kid
can
turn
his
work
in
as
late
as
he
wants
still
gets
full
credit.
AH
They
get
help
on
tests,
and
so
your
child
never
fails
and
you
never
get
the
services
they
change
the
language.
How
what's
interpreted
what
school?
When
you
go,
when
you
ask
the
school
what
school
is
school
is
from
seven
to
three
anything
that
happens
outside
of
three
is
not
school,
even
though
your
child
comes
to
school
or
comes
home,
melts
down,
because
she
can't
understand
the
concepts
and
the
assignments
that
she
was
given
as
homework.
AH
So
she's
melting
down
for
the
work
that
she's
given
from
school-
it's
not
because
she
can't
stay
the
night
at
someone's
house
is
because
of
school,
but
from
school's
perspective,
that's
not
school,
so
there's
no
academic
impact
and
it's
an
impossible
failure
and
again,
I
know
you've
heard
all
this
before.
I
think
it's
time
to
get
a
coalition
of
parents
together,
I
think
miss
humber
I've
started
the
survey
I'm
circulating
through
anne
arundel
county
you've
tried
to
access
it.
I
can
give
you
the
results
of
it.
AH
You're
welcome
to
see
it
so
far.
It
doesn't
look
good
anybody,
that's
involved
with
any
kind
of
special
education,
it's
pretty
bad
for
the
county,
so
I
would
love
to
share
that
with
you.
I'd
like
to
get
a
few
more
responses,
and
maybe
we
can
work
together
and
get
the
right
amount
of
focus
on
this.
Thank
you.
AI
Hi
good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
lisa
taylor
cerrero,
I'm
back
again,
even
though
I
was
told
essentially
it's
pretty
much
worthless
and
pointless,
but,
as
you
already
know,
I'm
really
deeply
disappointed
and,
frankly,
disgusted
about
the
lease
with
the
milestone
that
puts
our
children
and
my
child's
health
in
safety
and
in
jeopardy,
putting
cell
phone
towers
on
our
schools,
and
it
also
prevents
a
future
use
of
the
site
by
the
school
for
a
children's
actual
education.
AI
I
wanted
to
share
this
with
you
tonight.
After
discovering
the
original
permit,
modifications
were
denied.
Several
hopeful
parents
got
together
to
write
up
a
proposal
for
an
outdoor
wetlands
learning
center
or
an
owl
center.
For
short,
that
would
consist
of
raised
walkways
throughout
the
wetland
site
in
a
structural
outdoor
classroom
for
students
among
a
bunch
of
other
things.
It
was
a
big
a
lot
of
stuff
that
we
came
up
with
when
asked
to
place
the
proposal
on
the
pto
agenda.
AI
We
were
told
by
the
pto
to
refer
to
the
school
or
the
board,
to
learn
the
status
of
the
property
and
propose
projects
for
the
school
grounds.
Well,
I
guess
it's
not
going
to
happen
if
a
milestone
builds.
This
tower
milestone
appears
to
be
going
ahead.
Despite
the
permit
modification
denial,
as
we
learned
of
another
community
meeting
with
milestone,
I
guess
part
of
their
permitting
requirements.
AI
I
notified
the
pto
who
finally
put
it
on
their
facebook,
page,
probably
after
speaking
with
mr
casey,
the
principal,
but
not
all,
parents
are
pto
members
and
not
all
pto
members
are
on
facebook
or
check
their
site
regularly
and
basically
it's
not
the
pto's
responsibility
to
be
notifying
us.
I
mean
it's
nice
that
they
do,
but
they
don't
have
to.
AI
I'm
most
curious
to
find
out
why
the
lot
consolidation
was
made
without
putting
it
before
the
board,
and
it
makes
me
wonder
if
this
was
the
first
time
such
actions
occurred
and
what
who
exactly
was
involved.
AI
As
from
what
I've
been
told,
the
board
is
bound
by
maryland's,
open
meeting
laws,
and
voting
on
school
properties
would
be
required
under
those
laws.
I
don't
understand
how
or
why
it's
acceptable
and
our
community
deserves
answers.

That
said,
I
did
the
research
and
found
out
that
it
was.
I
was
comfortable
with
the
protocols
and
everything
in
the
school,
but
five
days
notice
felt
like
it
was
insufficient
time
for
parents,
and
so
I'd
ask
that
you
consider
changing
this
to
two
weeks.
Okay,
so
that
parents
can
be
involved
in
matters
that
could
affect
the
health
and
safety
of
their
children.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
The
point
I
just
want
to
adjust
one
of
the
points
you
made
about
the
lot
consolidation.
This
is
the
second
time
it's
come
up
before
the
board,
so
I
just
want
the
board
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
a
lot
consolidation
piece
went
through
the
board's
attorney.
It's
not
something
subject
to
open
meetings
act
because
it
was
no
property,
was
being
conveyed
or
passed
on
to
any
other
entity.
D
It
was
a
lot
consolidation
that
we
were
working
through
the
county
government,
so
in
the
example
of
shadyside
shadyside
the
whole
lot
that
we
own
is
actually
divided
up
into
five
pieces,
each
with
its
own
tax
id.
And
although
we
are
we
own
the
whole
piece
of
property,
so
we
are
going
through
the
process
now
consolidating
some
of
those
lots
under
the
direction
of
the
the
county
government
so
that
they
can
consolidate
some
of
the
tax
ids
and
ownership
pieces.
So
it
wasn't
something
that
needed
to
come
before
the
board.
AJ
AJ
We
are
here
tonight
to
request
more
collaboration
from
the
board
regarding
the
legislation
that
was
introduced
at
the
county
council
meeting
earlier
this
week.
It
requests
support
from
the
department
of
health
in
addressing
effects
of
bullying
on
mental
health,
in
our
schools
and
in
the
community,
which
I
think
speaks
to
a
lot
of
the
testimony
that
we've
heard
this
evening
as
well.
AJ
AJ
We
hope
that
in
the
near
future,
we
can
collaborate
to
make
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
the
best
it
can
be.
I
believe
we
are
really
on
the
cusp
of
accomplishing
some
meaningful
changes,
and
I
am
really
hopeful
and
excited
to
work
together
to
do
that.
We
would
very
much
like
to
sit
down
with
you
guys
and
put
our
heads
together.
We
have
some
really,
I
think,
some
great
ideas
and
that,
together
with
maybe
you
guys,
the
state's
attorney's
office
jen
corbin,
that
we
could
all
sit
down
and
really
make
some
great
changes.
AJ
B
AK
You
all
know
me
now
that
the
bill
has
been
signed
into
law.
We
were
at
the
signing
ceremony
together
and
that's
house
bill
679
and
senate
bill
729.
That
adds
five
school
days.
The
school
calendar
be
on
june
15th
that
one.
AK
I
just
want
to
reiterate
once
again
why
I
started
that
fight
to
begin
with
conversation,
dialogue,
and
that
is,
I
want
rosh
hashanah
back
as
a
non-instructional
day.
I've
talked
with
most
of
you
offline
about
that
I've
sent
emails
to
all
of
you,
I'm
grateful
for
the
response.
I
really
appreciate
that,
and
I
want
to
know
when
this
is
going
to
be
on
the
calendar
up
for
a
vote
on
the
agenda
when,
when
that
will
be,
when
will
it
be
coming
up?
I've
talked
to
some
members
of
the
cac
and
they
they
don't.
AK
I
don't
know
that
they've
been
given
that
instruction
yet,
and
so
this
affects
next
school
year,
and
this
is
when
I
want
the
change
to
start,
and
I
want
it
to
be
ongoing
and
I
want
my
day
back
like
we
had
for
more
than
a
decade.
So
here
I
am
again
I'll
be
back
next
time
too.
D
Her
so
I
don't
know
when
it's
going
to
be,
I
don't
know
when
we'll
have
a
decision
or
recommendations
for
the
boards.
The
board
does
not
does
not
put
it
on.
It's
not
become
an
agenda
item,
yet
there
is
some.
There
are
a
variety
of
interpretations
of
the
legislation,
and
so
your
interpretation
might
not
be
mine
or
that
of
the
state's
attorney's
office
or
others.
So
I'm
not,
I
don't
wanna,
I'm
not
going
to
get
in
the
debate
with
you.
D
I
just
want
you
to
know
when
you
ask
the
question
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
as
soon
as
we
get
an
interpretation
right
now,
mabe
is
going
through
interpretation,
as
is
has
been
given
to
liz
comey.
The
assistant
states
attorney
that
serves
msde
in
the
state
board
of
education.
She
is
going
through.
Interpretation
will
be
making
a
recommendation
to
the
state
board
at
their
next
meeting
or
the
meeting
after
I
don't
have
any
control
over
that.
It
will
then
be
disseminated.
A
interpretation
of
the
new
legislation
be
disseminated
to
the
locals.
D
We
will
then
put
our
calendar
committee
together
and
make
recommendations
to
the
board.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
you
make
sure
you
know
that
things
are
in
the
works,
but
no
decisions
have
been
made.
We're
waiting
on
an
interpretation
because
there
are
multiple
interpretations
among
the
24
jurisdictions
and
legal
aspects
around
the
state.

AL
All
right,
my
name
is
kevin
vasquez,
I'm
a
senior
chesapeake
high
school,
I'm
leader
of
the
axiom
club,
backed
by
the
parents,
parent
organization
and
the
arnold
county
parent
coalition
oftentimes.
These
meetings
seem
to
have
the
theme
of
that
someone's
voice
is
not
being
listened
to
when
someone's
not
being
heard
or
the
ones
I've
been
asked
by
board
employees.
AL
I
was
asked
this
question
by
the
associate
superintendent
pertaining
particularly
to
school
safety,
which
seems
to
be
the
common
theme
of
tonight,
but
before
we
answer
that
question,
how
about
we
ask
this
one?
How
does
the
board
show
its
listening
to
its
parents,
its
teachers
and
its
students?
AL
AL
Allow
the
axiom
club
to
survey
all
schools
in
enteral
county
through
our
website
for
solutions
regarding
school
safety.
Let
us
survey
teachers,
parents
and
students
at
high
schools.
Let
us
survey
teachers,
parents
and
eighth
graders
in
middle
schools.
Let
us
survey
parents
and
teachers
at
elementary
schools
and,
lastly,
let
us
take
reports
from
sros.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
take
that
under
consideration.
So
any
other
public
comment.
Okay,
we
will
move
on
to
consent
items.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
bundle
items
4.01
to
4.04?
B
L
B
B
Item
5.01
is
an
action
item,
administrative
personnel
appointments.
Do
I
have
any
board
questions
or
comments
all
those
in
favor.
D
Yes,
ma'am,
I
recommend
the
that
the
personnel
listed
on
the
attach
sheet
be
promoted
and
or
appointed.
B
B
D
Yes,
ma'am
bear
with
me,
as
I
read
the
recommendation
once
again
into
the
record.
I
recommend
that
that
I
concurred
with
the
committee's
recommendations
to
take
effect
school
year.
2018
2019,
as
shown
on
the
attached,
exhibit
the
maryland
city
elementary
school
boundary
area
should
be
redistricted
from
macarthur
middle
school
to
meade
middle
school,
rising,
7th,
graders
attending
macarthur
middle
school
living
within
living
with
the
maryland.
Excuse
me
living
within
the
maryland
city
city.
Elementary
school
boundary
are
given
the
option
to
be
grandfathered
for
the
school
year.
B
AM
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
with
regards
to
item
number
5.03
maryland
city
macarthur
need
redistricting
for
the
public
hearing.
How
many
folks
from
the
public
came
out
to
comment
on
this
redistricting
measure.
B
AN
AN
There
was
coverage
in
the
press,
for
example
the
the
capital
the
reporter
just
left
here
had
a
story
on
it,
so
it's
a
multi-channel
approach
or
also
phone
calls
placed
through
the
connected
system,
so
the
connect
ed
system
does
both
phone
calls
a
web
blast
and
a
text
blast.
So
again,
it's
a
multimedia,
multi-channel
distribution
system.
AN
Since
well,
it's
been
expanding
over
time.
So,
with
the
advent
of
connected,
it's
expanded
greater,
so
we've
been
with
connected,
probably
six
years
or
so
before
that
I
mean
so
as
our
ability
to
expand
the
web
of
communication
continues
to
grow.
We
take
advantage
of
of
all
of
those
back
in
the
old
days.
We
just
took
an
ad
in
the
newspaper
and
created
some
flyers
and
handed
them
to
kids.
So,
but
nowadays,
technology
allows
us
to
reach
a
tremendous
amount,
more
individuals
in
a
more
timely
and
cost
effective
manner
and.
B
E
D
Yes,
ma'am,
please
bear
with
me,
as
I
read
the
recommendation
again
into
the
record,
that
I
concurred
with
the
committee's
recommendation
to
take
effect
in
school
year.
2020
2021,
with
respect
to
redistricting
kindergarten
students
from
ferndale
early
education
center
to
george
cromwell,
elementary
school
and
hilltop.
D
I
recommend
the
redistricting
students
living
on
sours
lane
and
vista
avenue
from
george
cromwell
elementary
school
to
hilltop
elementary
school
effective
school
year,
2020
2021,
as
shown
in
exhibit
one
the
rising
fourth
graders
in
school
year.
2020
2021
were
given
the
option
to
remain
at
george
cromwell
for
one
school
year.
K
Thank
you,
madam
president,
and
again
thank
you
for
for
this
two
questions.
One
is
specific
to
the
hearing
that
we
had
at
north
county
high
school.
There
was
a
gentleman
who
came
in.
Forgive
me,
I
can't
remember
his
name.
It
was
in
my
notes,
which
are
somewhere
in
my
office,
but
he
had
commented
on
two
roads,
specifically
with
regard
to
the
hilltop
cromwell
boundaries.
If,
if
memory
serves
me
correctly,
I
wanted
to
ask
if
to
anyone's
recollection
if
it
was
specifically
sauers
lane
and
vista
avenue
that
that
he
had
referred
to
that
night.
K
Thank
you
and,
and
then
the
second
point
I
want
to
make
which
is
certainly
outside
of
the
scope
of
tonight,
but
I
I
do
hope-
and
I
I
made
this
comment
when
we
had
initially
discussed,
or
at
least
received
the
the
initial
presentation
that
patch
of
blue,
that
that
is,
above
or
at
least
on
the
map
for
map
purposes
above
north
glenn
elementary
school.
K
I
hope
at
some
point
we
can
revisit
that
because
it
just
seems
so
inefficient
to
have
buses
picking
up
students
and
then
going
all
the
way
over
to
overlook
elementary
so
again
outside
of
the
scope
of
tonight,
but
hopefully
one
day
we
can
revisit
when
we
have
the
greater
redistricting
conversation.
Thank.

A
AO
President
homer
vice
president
gilliland
members
of
the
board,
dr
arlatto,
my
name
is
les
douglas
and
I'm
the
supervisor
of
transportation.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
provide
this
update
tonight.
On
april
5th
of
last
year,
I
presented
a
timeline
showing
the
anticipated
progress
of
the
implementation
of
the
computerized
routing
system
through
september
of
2018.
AO
As
we
begin
to
implement
the
various
efficiencies
identified
with
the
aid
of
our
new
computer-assisted
technology,
it
would
be
wise
to
discuss
the
sequence
of
implementing
these
efficiencies,
the
relationship
of
these
efficiencies
to
safe
and
reliable
transportation,
how
the
resources
reallocated
by
these
efficiencies
will
be
utilized
and
the
effect
of
these
efficiencies
on
the
lives
of
the
students
and
parents.
We're
here
to
serve
as
the
transportation
office
begins,
utilizing
the
gis
and
computer
routing
technology,
there's
a
logical
sequence
for
implementing
the
identified
efficiencies.
AO
The
transportation
office
is
currently
preparing
walk
area
maps
to
be
posted
on
school
websites,
as
well
as
poster
size
maps
to
be
housed
in
each
school,
along
with
a
complete
address
list
for
school
staff
to
reference
at
the
schools.
These
audits
are
being
completed
and
will
be
communicated
to
schools
and
parents
as
they
are
finished.
AO
AO
AO
AO
Within
the
school
transportation
field,
providing
safe,
reliable,
efficient
and
economical
transportation
is
the
undisputed
and
ultimate
goal
viewing
these
four
separate
and
independent
goals
will
usually
result
in
poor
decision
making
and
unsatisfactory
outcomes.
Considering
these
components
in
isolation
all
too
often
result
in
a
compromise
of
safety,
reliability
or
both.
AO
It
should
be
obvious
that
efficiency
and
economy
overlap
quite
a
bit.
In
most
cases,
these
two
components
move
together.
The
most
efficient
alternative
is
also
the
most
economical
alternative,
an
increase
in
efficiency
or
how
well
we
use
our
resources,
will
positively
impact
economy
or
how
much
we
can
save
by
using
those
resources
efficiently.
AO
AO
As
a
hypothetical
example
consider
this,
if
there's
an
economic
decision
to
decrease
driver
salaries,
absenteeism
and
driver
turnover
will
go
up,
this
would
will
result
in
routes
and
stops
being
serviced
by
substitute.
Drivers
are
not
serviced
at
all.
Substitute.
Drivers
are
not
as
reliable
at
hitting
the
target
times
for
bus
stops,
leaving
students
standing
at
stops
longer.
AO
AO
Any
discussion
of
maximizing
efficiency
or
achieving
100
percent
efficiency
as
the
main
goal
in
school
bus
routing
is
a
giant
red
flag
that
safety,
reliability
and
other
important
considerations
are
probably
not
being
considered
to
the
degree
that
they
should
be.
Efficiency
must
be
achieved
within
the
greater
context
of
safety,
not
the
other
way
around.
AO
AO
Anne
arundel
county
public
schools
will
likely
continue
to
experience
extraordinary
student
enrollment
and
program
growth
for
the
foreseeable
future.
The
last
three
years
alone
have
produced
an
increase
of
over
three
thousand
students
requiring
additional
transportation
supports
each
year
and
we
are
anticipating
another
yet
another
1700
students
in
the
year
ahead.
AO
AO
AO
AO
AO
With
the
redistricting
of
the
annapolis
elementary
schools
last
year,
several
walk
areas
were
affected.
This
necessitated
beginning
the
walk
area
maps
earlier
than
originally
anticipated
as
started
early.
As
stated
earlier,
we
anticipate
notifying
any
affected
students
and
parents
of
changes
in
transport
or
walk
zones
for
next
year
prior
to
the
end
of
this
school
year.
AO
In
addition
to
communicating
routing
information
to
contractors
and
drivers,
school
staff
must
also
have
access
to
routing
information
to
facilitate
a
smooth
launch.
It's
the
goal
of
the
transportation
office
to
as
much
as
possible
make
the
change
to
the
new
system
as
invisible
as
possible
to
the
clerical
staff
at
each
school
when
they
go
to
look
up
routing
information
in
august
and
september.
Our
goal
is
to
duplicate
the
intranet
path
to
routing
information
and
have
that
information
look
as
close
as
possible
to
the
format
they
have
been
using
to
see
in
the
past.
AO
If
there
are
minor
changes
in
the
internet
path
in
trinet
paths,
excuse
me
or
format.
Look
of
this
information,
transportation
staff
will
alert
school
staff
to
the
changes
before
the
end
of
the
current
year
now
had
the
weather
cooperated,
and
I
presented
this
information
last
month
as
originally
scheduled.
AO
D
AD
AO
AO
Well,
and
and
if,
if
you
notice
and
it
it
might
have
been
more
subtle
than
it
should
have
been,
but
but
I
did
address
the
fact
that
last
fall,
we
need
to
look
at
that
one
one.
Other
thing
I'd
like
to
bring
up,
obviously
I'm
presenting
to
the
board
it's
being
televised,
I'm
also
presenting
to
the
community.
AO
When
I
talked
about
the
four
areas,
I
I
want
to
make
it
clear
we're
also
setting
down
officially
what
we
as
a
department
need
to
look
at.
So
not
only
am
I
presenting
out
to
the
board
and
to
the
community
I'm
presenting
into
the
department,
so
that
so
that
we
we
make
it
very
very
clear
that
that's
how
we
should
focus
our
attentions
as
we
go
through
these
efficiencies
now
am
I
also
do.
AO
I
also
understand
you
to
say
that
you
would
like
from
for
the
transportation
office,
to
give
you
a
list
of
of
the
four
or
five
areas
that
that
will
be
increasing
the
walk
areas
as
soon
as
possible,
because
we're
we're
preparing
those
letters
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks
to
actually
go
out
to
the
to
those
areas.
AD
Well,
I
guess
what
I'm
saying
is:
I
don't
want
to
be
surprised
and
have
5
000
people
show
up,
and
we
need
we're
already
talking
about
walking
that
area
and
looking
into
those
areas
of
concern.
So
I
guess
be
before
those
letters
go
out.
We
would
like
I'm
just
speaking
as
one
board
member,
but
I
would
really
like
to
be
able
to
look
at
some
of
the
areas
that
are
most
problematic.
AO
We
feel
we
feel
confident
that
these
walk
areas
should
be
included.
The
the
timing
was
we
have
things
to
learn
about
the
timing
from
last
fall,
so
I
apologize
to
the
board.
AD
D
Mrs
natalie
and
members
of
the
board,
I
think
what
I'm
going
to
recommend
is
that,
as
the
lists
are
put
together,
I'll
sit
down
and
review
the
lists
in
the
transportation
office
and
mr
sheknovich
and
his
team
after
I've
had
a
chance
to
review
the
list.
I'll
review
them
with
the
board
president
and
then
she
can
share
it
as
appropriate.
Q
E
Q
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
that
what
do
you
mean
share
as
appropriate,
so
I
I
understood
the
answer
to
your
question
before
it
mean
that,
for
example,
with
the
people
that
were
speaking
tonight,
that
there's
going
to
be
an
opportunity
for
us
to
basically,
if,
if
the
ultimate
recommendation,
let's
say
from
from
your
team,
is
to
take
that
bus
service
away
that
we
can
say
that
we
don't
agree
with
that.
That's
what
I
understood
that
to
me.
B
With
any
transportation
decision,
like
any
other
decision
that
is
made
by
the
school
system,
as
parents
can
appeal
and
then
it
would
come
to
us
and
we
would
make
that
decision
if
it's
if
it's
appealed.
B
Yes,
part
of
part
of
this
timeline
is
that
they
will
be
notified
as
soon
as
possible
before
the
end
of
the
school
year,
so
that
there
is
sufficient
time
that
week
that
if
there
are
any
appeals
for
any
changes
that
come
about,
that,
the
board
would
be
able
to
address
them
before
the
next
school
year.
So
we
can
do
that
as
it's
as
expediently
as
possible.
Q
B
D
D
G
D
I
believe
the
board-
and
I'm
not
the
expert
you'll-
have
to
you'll-
have
to
get
your
counsel
to
to
counsel
you
on
this,
but
you're
going
to
need
a
vote
of
the
board
to
override
board
policy.
D
B
Transportation
makes
the
decisions
that
for
any
routes,
that
would
come
that
fall
within
board
policy,
so
we
have
our
transportation
policies
that
outlines
how
who,
who
rides
and
right
who,
who
rides?
What's
what's
considered
a
safety
hazard
and
things
like
that,
if
they
will
present
things,
dr
arlatto
will
present
things
that
follow
board
policy.
If
we
want
to.
If
we
want
to
consider
overriding
board
policy
on
any
specific
cases,
that
would
be
considered
an
appeal
and
that
would
need
to
come
before
the
board.
Mr.
K
Gilliland,
thank
you,
madam
president,
just
and
thank
you,
mr
douglas,
for
this
presentation
tonight.
I
I
love
the
the
moving
slides
there
that
that
works
well.
For
me,.
K
I
I
also
got
a
note
from
mrs
byrd.
She
said
hi
and
thank
you
for
answering
her
questions,
given
some
of
the
changes
that
may
be
occurring,
based
on
the
data
and
and
some
of
the
data
outcomes
and
and
some
of
the
efficiencies,
and
certainly
again
highlighting
what
you
had
noted
with
regard
to
safety
being
being
paramount,
now
seems
to
be
an
opportune
time
to
review
our
transportation
policies
to
ensure
that
they
reflect
best
practices.
Q
Yeah
just
to
follow
up
on
that
same
point
again.
If,
if
the
families
have
a
right
to
appeal,
I
don't
see
why
we
would
not
advise
them
of
that
right
in
the
notification
of
any
transportation
decisions.
If
it's
a
right
that
exists,
we
should
be
telling
them
about
it,
and
our
communications
are,
you
know,
designed
to
give
the
public
full
information
about
their
rights,
not
for
you
know
our
convenience
and
that
kind
of
thing.
So,
if
this
is
the
appropriate
form,
I
I
think
that
that
language
should
be
in
those
notification.
B
And
I
am
I'm
not
certain
who
can
answer
this
on?
Who
would
answer
this
appropriately?
I
believe
that
walking
further
to
a
bus
stop
is
not
an
override
of
board
policy,
so
that
would
not
necessarily
be
something
to
appeal,
but
removal
of
a
bus
stop
or
taking
away
bus
service
would
be
because
that
falls
under
ford
policy.
Am
I
correct
on
that?
Mr
bennett?
AC
Madam
president,
for
the
record,
tyson
bennett
board
council,
if
the,
if
the
board
takes
action
to
establish
something
or
to
change
something
and
takes
a
vote
in
an
environment
such
as
this,
almost
all
of
those
are
appealable
and
the
past
practice
would
indicate
that
it
is
almost
always
important
to
include
the
community
in
any
significant
changes
that
are
going
to
take
place
so
that
the
community
knows
about
potential
changes
before
it
comes
to
the
board
for
a
vote.
AC
B
Now
some
of
these
transportation
changes
are
not
things
that
we
would
vote
on.
For
instance,
you
know
a
longer
walk
to
a
bus.
Stop,
that's
not
something
we
would
vote
on,
but
that
would
still
that
could
would
still
be
appealable
for
a
for.
AC
E
AC
AM
AO
AO
AO
AO
One
stop
might
be
unsafe,
because
there
are
too
many
kids
at
the
stop
and
they're
all
running
out
in
the
street
and
their
other
stop
might
be
unsafe
because
it's
difficult
to
get
to
the
stop
literally.
Every
stop
has
its
own
characteristic,
so
for
us
to
use
a
computer
program
to
look
at
a
screen
and
and
and
say,
let's
pull
all
of
these
out
you're,
not
seeing
the
the
important
information.
AO
So
we
we
have
concerns
about
going
beyond
the
fact
that
it
would,
it
would
dead,
it
would
a
gridlock,
our
office,
it
would
gridlock
mr
shaknovich's
office.
It
would
gridlock
your
meetings
if
we
did
all
of
these
at
one
time
it
it
also
wouldn't
be
the
safest
way
to
do
it.
We
need
to.
We
need
to
literally
look
at
each
stop
and
say:
is
it?
Is
it
safe
to
pull
that
one
back
out
now
that
can
be
done
fairly
quickly,
but
they
need
to
look
be
looked
at
individually.
AO
We
can't
do
this
wholesale.
It
can't
be
a
micro
or
a
macro
decision.
It
has
to
be
done
at
the
micro
level.
One
stop
at
a
time.
I
now
to
answer
your
original
question.
How
many
do
we
normally
do
minimal
amount
minimal,
but
we
also
have
quite
a
few
inefficient
bus
routes
because
of
the
fact
that
we're
going
back
into
areas
that
really
they
can
walk
out
to
a
bus
stop
now?
AO
AO
Now
we're
talking
about
pulling
stops
out,
that's
that's
sobering
thought,
but
so
and
frederick
county
did
this
about
10
years
ago
and
and
it
did
take
and
I'm
not
saying
whether
it's
right
or
wrong.
I
just
want
to
tell
you
what
happened.
It
took
a
tremendous
resolve
on
the
part
of
the
board
because
it
hit
the
board
like
a
ton
of
bricks
and
and
and
the
board
said
no.
This
is
what
we're
going
to
do.
We're
pulling
those
stops
out,
but
I
just
want
to
caution
what
we're
talking
about
here.
AN
And
I'll
I'll
add,
mr
rhino,
mr
bennett
walked
away,
but
I'm
sure
he
would
offer
the
same
advice.
Whatever
processes
you
utilize
to
analyze,
these
appeals
are
to
have
to
be
consistent.
It
can't
be
because
you're
in
one
zip
code
or
another
zip
code,
it
can't
be
your
policy
doesn't
speak
the
farms,
that's
not
something
to
take
into
consideration.
AN
It
can't
be
because
somebody
screams
and
somebody
doesn't
whatever
algorithm
you
decide
if
you're
not
consistent,
you're
going
to
be
accused
of
being
arbitrary
or
capricious
or
irrational
in
your
decision
making
process.
So
as
you
prepare
for
this
onslaught
of
appeals,
you
better
be
prepared
for
a
very
standard
rubric
that
the
board's
going
to
use
to
analyze
these
in
a
very,
very
consistent
manner,
because
you
could
be
challenged
further
than
that.
AM
And
that
certainly
is
one
of
the
challenges
that
we
faced
with
with
the
two
parent
groups
that
that
have
come
and
spoken
at
our
meetings
so
far
with
trickling
out
the
changes.
It's
especially
with,
with
the
the
I
hesitate
to
call
them
early
adopters,
but
the
we
we
were
faced
with
being
able
to
say
trust
us.
AM
We're
gonna
have
many
different
groups
of
people
from
all
walks
of
life
that
are
going
to
be
faced
with
similar
challenges
and
we
will
add,
stops
as
part
of
this
program
and
we
will
also
remove
stops
as
part
of
this
program.
But
for
these
this
initial
wave,
as
as
it's
trickling
out
one
by
one,
it's
it
is
hard
to
look
at
the
parents
and
say
every
everyone
is
going
to
feel
the
pinch.
AN
No,
I
mean
the
percentage
is
about
the
same,
so
the
percentage
of
the
total
is
about
the
same.
So
as
our
population
grows
we're
transporting
more
youngsters
each
and
every
day,
but
the
percentage
of
those
transported
is
not.
I
know
the
one
thing
that
we
are
continuing
to
work
with
the
county
government
is
particularly
the
planning
and
zoning
department
under
new
transportation
department
is,
as
communities
are
built
to
ensure
that
those
communities
have
robust
sidewalk
systems.
AN
They
have
robust
hiker,
biker
trails
and
proper
connectors
to
link
communities
so
that
we
don't
have
these
these
missing
gap
scenarios,
or
we
don't
have
scenarios
that
we
are
forced
to
put
a
bus
in
because
sidewalks
are
missing
or
inappropriate
traffic,
signalization,
etc.
So
the
county
has
a
new
transportation
director
and
we've
spent
a
significant
amount
of
time
with
him
and
his
staff
bringing
him
up
to
speed
on
the
needs
of
walkers
as
part
of
the
general
development
plan
that
the
county
has
put
it
together.
AN
The
county
has
funded
a
intermodal
transportation
study,
and
the
walkability
of
schools
is
part
of
the
scope
of
work
that
the
county
government
is
undertaking.
So
they're
going
to
be
looking
to
strategically
begin
to
identify
within
those
one
mile
elementary
school
zones
and
within
a
mile
and
a
half
secondary
school
zones,
what
infrastructure
and
by
infrastructure?
Again
I'm
talking
about
sidewalks
bike
lanes,
ada,
depressed
curbs
crossing
signals,
etc.
AN
What
infrastructure
has
to
be
put
in
place,
county-wide
to
increase
over
time
through
capital
expenditures,
the
walkability,
both
safe
and
efficient
and
effective
walkability
to
schools?
That
is
one
of
the
stated
goals.
That's
going
to
be
placed
in
the
gdp
when
it's
published
here
at
the
end
of
2019.
AD
Notified
when
we're
going
to
take
the
walk,
I
want
to
walk
that
route.
I
drive
that
route
several
times
a
week.
Picking
up
my
preschool
grandchild
at
celebrity
on
forest
drive,
and
I
am
telling
you
it
is:
it
is
a
fearful
place
to
drive
I'm
there.
There
was
a
big
accident
right
where
I
turned
left
to
get
go
in
there.
So
I
want
to
drive
it.
I
mean
walk.
That
is
as
if
I
was
having
my
own
children,
as
the
gentleman
said
earlier,
walk
that
I
know
I.
AD
I
appreciate
what
you're
saying
and
mr
shaknovich
about
making
sure
our
rubric
is
the
same,
and
I
think
that
in
any
rubric
as
we
look
at
policy
or
whatever
that
we
will
look
at
carefully
look
at-
and
I
know
mrs
hummer
said
there
are
other
areas
in
the
county
they're
busy
roads
and
that,
but
the
combination
of
effects
in
that
area.
AD
AD
AD
A
lot
comes
to
play,
and
maybe
it
does
in
other
areas
too,
but
in
that
particular
area
a
lot
comes
to
play.
In
addition
to
just
that
straight
walk,
it's
not
walking
up
and
it's
walking
down.
It's
I've
seen
terrible
terrible
accidents.
I
know
how
they
speed.
I
also
I'm
just
trying
to
picture
150
kids
walking
along
it's.
AD
AO
May
I
clarify
one
point
there
are,
and-
and
this
is
neither
here
or
there
from
the
from
the
larger
debate,
but
in
fact
there
are
60
students,
not
150
and
and
and
we
so
I
just
need
to
clarify
that
point.
I
know
150
has
been
used
right.
No,
it's
it's!
It's
60
middle
school
students
that
are
being
added
to
the
wall
carry
so
just
to
clarify
that
one
point.
Yes,.
K
Dylan
thanks
again,
madam
president,
I
just
to
clarify
not
to
belabor
the
point,
because
it's
getting
late
but
going
back
in
your
earlier
earlier
part
of
your
presentation
when
you
had
sort
of
the
the
timeline
fleshed
out.
Yes,
my
question
is
is
really
about
the
notifications.
I
know
there
will
be
some
dialogue
potentially,
but
my
concern
is
if
those
notifications
are
going
out
over
the
summer
months
when
people
are
on
vacation,
they
may
get
back
after
a
two-week
trip
and
then
there's
a
letter
that
you
know.
AO
Yeah,
well,
let
me
based
on
what
happened.
Last
fall.
We
the
the
parameters
were
set
so
that
in
fact
we
will
not
add
a
a
walk
area.
You
know
if,
if
we,
if
we
determine
as
a
walk
area
during
the
year,
we
will
wait
until
the
end
of
the
year
to
notify
prior
to
school,
letting
out.
Thank
you
in
writing
that
will
change
the
walk
areas
at
the
beginning
of
the
following
school
year
and
we're
going
to
set
that
down
as
a
protocol,
so
that
last
fall
doesn't
happen
again.
B
And
miss
nelly
is
things
you
brought
up,
as
as
mr
gilliam
put
forward,
that
we
would.
We
have
the
policy
committee,
look
at
our
transportation
things
and
see
and
see
if
it
they
include
everything
that
we
want
to
include
when
we
look
at
routes,
because
mr
douglas
and
his
team
are
tasked
with
following
the
policies
that
we
have
set.
B
So
if
we,
the
policy
committee,
needs
to
to
look
and
see
if
there
are
things
in
that
that
we
want
to
change
so
that
will
be
on
the
agenda
moving
forward
to
take
a
look
at
that
as
part
of
this
whole
program,
that
we're
doing
is
to
make
sure
and
look
at
it
in
all
ways.
Dr
a
lot.
D
Which
which
we
will
certainly
follow
your
lead
on
that
and
bring
it
forward
to
the
policy
committee.
I
I
do
want
to
warn
and
caution
the
board
that
if
policy
is
changed,
then
that
will
change
the
parameters
that
are
built
into
the
software
system
and
if
you
change
the
parameter
software
system,
that
will
change
the
timeline.
D
So
if
you
change
walk
routes,
if
you
change
walk
distances,
for
example,
or
any
of
the
other
components
that
will
change
the
parameters
and
then
therefore
change
the
runs
so
that
could
change
the
timelines
in
when
the
team
will
then
be
able
to
get
the
routes
completed,
go
back
and
recheck.
Now
new
bus
stops
that
weren't
being
utilized
the
first
time
in
the
first
run
so
understand
that
there
will
be
some
domino
impact
to
the
negative
side
of
when
this
will
be
up
and
running.
If
policy
is
changed,.
AN
And
dr
lauder
just
elaborate
one
step
further.
For
example,
if
you
change
the
walk
distance
from
a
mile
and
a
half
to
a
mile
and
a
quarter,
that's
you
know:
7
000,
more
students,
so
we're
going
to
be
transporting
so
we're
going
to
buy
the
buses,
find
the
drivers
etc
to
to
do
that.
So
for
every
incremental
change
to
the
policy,
you
know
we're
going
to
aggregate
more
students
potentially
to
have
eligibility.
Q
Okay,
I
just
want
to
be
abundantly
clear
for
me
and
for
everyone's
watching.
The
policy,
as
as
I
understand
it
is
the
result,
is
a
presumption
that
presumption
can
be
rebutted
for
any
number
of
reasons,
including
safety
and
all
kinds
of
other
concerns,
and
you
all
have
actually
not
made
a
decision
yet
about
the
stop
that
we
heard
so
much
about
tonight.
Q
A
stretch
of
one
mile
here
is
not
equal
to
a
stretch
of
one
mile
someplace
else
and
if
a
stretch
here
has
traffic
and
a
stretch
here
has
traffic,
that's
something
considerable
stretch
here:
has
traffic
and
gang
activity
and
a
history
of
accidents
and
a
methadone
clinic
that
starts
to
tip
the
scales.
So
we
may
not
have
to
vote
on
this
because
you
all
made
make
that
sounds
like
to
me
is
what
the
right
decision
is
to
not
to
take
that
bus
stop
away,
but
you
haven't
gotten
there.
Q
AD
I
oh
well,
I
was
just
going
to
say
exactly
what
mr
jack
noticed
some
years
ago.
I
forget
which
years
it's
been
so
long,
but
we
did
look
at
the
cost
of
just
the.
Maybe
it
was
2008.
I
can't
remember
we
looked
at
the
cost.
Mr
bennett
may
remember
of
the
just
changing
a
quarter
of
a
mile
and
it
was
absolutely
unbelievable,
and
so
that
would
be
a
huge
consideration,
because
not
only
would
it
change
the
timeline,
it
would
also
impact
our
our
budget
tremendously.
AD
So
so
that's
that
is
a
huge
consideration
to
take
out
and
we
can't
just
arbitrarily
do
that,
but
I
agree
wholeheartedly
with
mr
grant
and
that
looking
at
all
of
those
issues
wouldn't
even
require
changing
policy.
I
mean,
if
just
taking
into
taking
into
consideration
exactly
what
you
said
in
the
slide.
Yes,.
B
And
also
just
to
stress
again
to
the
public,
just
because
we're
referring
it
for
policy
committee
to
look
at
does
not
mean
that
there
will
be
any
changes
to
policy,
but
it's
always
it
behooves
us
periodically
to
relook
at
our
policies
and
make
sure
we're
doing
the
things
that
best
fit
what's
going
on.
So
this
is
not
not
saying
in
any
way
that
policy
would
be
changed,
but
it
is
something
to
look
at
and
again
no
decisions
have
been
made.
B
Yet
no,
no
letters
have
come
out
so
we're
talking
hypotheticals
at
this
point,
but
preparing
for
them-
and
I
appreciate
all
the
work
you're
doing
in
that
and
that
this
everyone
will
be
notified
before
the
end
of
school,
so
that
we
do
have
enough
time
to
deal
with
these.
With
all
these
things
coming
out
there
are
there
any
other
board,
questions
or
comments
at
this
time,
so
we
do
have
one
on
public
comment:

Is
part
of

his
presentation?
Part
