These
skills
are
essential
for
special
education
students
to
learn
because
they
provide
the
basis
for
independence
and
they
facilitate
transition
into
the
real
world.
Learning
life
skills
are
best
done
by
doing

people
surprised.

My
daughter
and
my
boyfriend
and
my
friend

had
no

you

Mr
jackson,
thank.
H
You
ma'am
today's
high
school
students
are
living
in
an
exciting
time,
with
an
increasingly
diverse
society,
new
technologies
and
expanding
opportunities
to
help
ensure
that
they
are
prepared
to
become
the
next
worker
workers
and
leaders
in
our
society.
Every
student
needs
support
and
guidance
that
helps
them
face
challenges
in
life
that
will
have
a
direct
impact
on
academic
achievement.
H
Secondary
school
counselors
do
not
work
in
isolation;
rather
they
are
an
integral
part
of
the
total
education
educational
program.
Take
annapolis
high,
for
example,
a
large
high
school
with
a
diverse
population
and
guidance
counselors
who
have
challenging
jobs,
jobs
that
are
performed
more
efficiently
and
thoroughly
with
the
support
of
our
employee
of
the
month
for
may
carol,
delaney.
H
H
She
takes
her
counseling
duties
outside
the
walls
of
the
counseling
office
in
support
of
her
avid
interests
in
student
athletics,
working
closely
with
coaches
to
ensure
the
students
are
succeeding,
academically
and
meeting
the
required
grade
point
average
carol.
Delaney
is
the
face
of
the
counseling
office
when
there,
when
there
were
changes
in
the
office.
Recently,
she
was
the
steady
force
behind
the
counselor's
work,
making
the
transition
a
stress-free
one.
She
goes
out
of
her
way
to
make
sure
that
everyone's
needs
in
the
office
are
met.
H
She
handles
all
challenges
with
decorum,
never
showing
any
signs
of
annoyance
or
anger.
Her
work
is
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
duty
at
all
times,
and
she
works
hard
to
make
the
guidance
counselor's
job
a
smooth
one.
The
mission
of
annapolis
high
school
and
an
exceptionally
diverse
school
community
is
to
advance
academic
achievement
and
unity
among
our
students
through
mutual
respect,
trust
and
excellence
in
both
teaching
and
learning
school
counselors
align
their
work
with
the
school's
mission
through
the
implementation
of
a
successful
school
counseling
program,
and
you
carroll
are
the
heart
of
this
mission.
H
I
Thought
I
was
here
to
talk
about
counseling
secretaries
and
our
quarterly
meetings.
Okay,
well,.
I
Did
what
are
they
well?
I
have
my
whole
department.
I
think
here
there's
lots
of
people.
I
know
my
husband's
here.
J
J
She
here
right
here
with
endless
energy
and
consistent
professionalism.
Nicole,
has
served
on
just
about
every
possible
volunteer
committee
at
broadneck,
elementary
as
possible
from
hospitality
to
book
fair
to
holiday
shop
year
after
year.
During
most
of
her
12
years
at
broadneck,
she
served
on
the
pta
pto
board.
She
was
an
inspiring
president
for
two
years,
then,
when
no
one
else
stepped
forward,
nicole
decided
to
do
it
again
for
another
two
years.
If
someone
has
a
question
about
pto
protocol
nicole,
is
quick
to
answer
and
always
offers
support
with
unparalleled
competence.
J
J
With
her
years
of
experience
and
attention
to
detail,
it's
naturally
nicole,
who
coordinates
volunteer
schedules
for
yearly
school
events
such
as
flumist
days,
vision
and
hearing
screenings
or
picture
days
this
school
year,
in
addition
to
her
pto
president
duties,
nicole
roberts,
oversaw
the
launching
of
a
new
pto
website
and
initiated
two
new
barnett
elementary
school
events.
First,
the
hero
boys
run
club
and
the
race
for
education,
a
seven-week
program
in
which
third,
fourth
and
fifth
grade
boys,
were
mentored
by
positive
male
role.
Models
to
set
goals
include
participation
in
the
culminating
5k
race.
J
Last
november,
the
new
fundraiser
race
for
education
was
a
running
walking
event
for
students
and
staff
that
brought
in
over
four
thousand
dollars
to
the
broadneck

When
nicole's

Both

events
will
remain
on
the
bes
event
calendar
for
years
to
come,
nicole,
even
serves
as
a
classroom,
substitute
she's
beloved
by
each

broadneck's.

J
Students,

she
knows

name
volunteer
coordinator,
jen
dunn,
writes
nicole,
is
an
amazing
gift
to
the
broadneck
elementary
school
and
arnold
community.
As
she
moves

her
youngest
to
middle
school
nicole
lives,
a
lot
leaves
a
lasting
legacy
of
a
dynamic,
pto
and
volunteer
program.
Thank
you,
nicole
roberts.
Would
you
please
come
forward
with
great
appreciation?
K
K
Have
with
you
today
I
have
my
children
and
I
hope
my
oldest
missed
a
math
a
pre-calc
test
today,
so
I
hope
he'll
be
able
to
make
that
up.
Oh.
K
He
did
get
on
the
bus
this
morning.
I'm
sure
he's
very
happy
I'll
have
to
talk
to
his
teacher
about
that.
So
my
three
children,
my
husband
and
my
father,
who
was
a
educator
in
howard
county
for
30
years
and
my
two
other
pto
presidents
from
broadneck
elementary
and
the
current
pto
president
veronica
elementary
and
the
vp
of
broadneck,
elementary
pto
of
the
pto
and
our
principal
and
my
dear
friend,
and
the
guidance
counselor
for
rodneck
elementary.
L
K
And
our
outgoing
secretary
and
hopefully
future
board
member
kia
chandler.
So,
oh,
how
can
you
not
be
you're
well
represented
right,
great.
J
E
B
Moment,
you'll
notice,
I
have
a
red
nose
and
this
is
to
raise
awareness
for
childhood
poverty.
B
All
the
money
that
will
be
raised
will
go
to
one
of
the
five
initiatives
that
we're
going
to
that
we
support
and
that's
technology,
early
literacy
after
school
and
summer
opportunities,
college
and
career
readiness
and
community
and
family
outreach.
I
want
to
make
sure
people
understand
this
is
in
addition,
this
is
to
augment
to
to
enhance
it's
not
to
replace
it
won't
buy
us
a
teacher.
It
won't
do
things
like
that.
B
What
this
will
do
is
help
to
augment
these
opportunities
and
provide
opportunities
for
those
kids,
those
living
in
poverty
and
those
living,
not
within
poverty,
so
it
grows
until
six
o'clock
tonight,
it's
it's
put
on
by
the
community,
the
anne
arundel
community
foundation
and
it's
an
online
fundraiser.
B
In
case
you
haven't
seen
the
multitude
of
tweets
and
facebook
postings
that
have
come
out
from
your
schools
when
you
go
on
there,
make
sure
that
you
indicate
that
your
school
did
that
you
heard
it
from
your
school,
because
then
that
helps
to
there's
they're
doing
some
kind
of
contests
and
stuff
like
that,
so
that
helps
to
that
the
while
we
want
to
raise
as
much
money
as
possible
for
our
children.
B
B
Unfortunately,
we
are
number
three.
We
have
209
total
donors
right
now,
so
we
want
to
try
to
get
that
higher
because
we
need
to
go
above
400.
Actually,
we
have
over
80
000
students
and
12
000
employees.
The
lowest
you
can
do
is
15.
It
is
all
online
you
can.
You
know,
that's
what
you
can
give
and
so
I'd
like
to
ask
people
to
to
ask
their
friends
and
they
don't
have
to
live
in
anne
arundel
county.
B
B
It's
very
easy
to
do,
and
I
hope
that
you'll
take
the
opportunity
to
do
that
so
in
honor
of
childhood
poverty,
one
more
time,
just
if
my
granddaughter's
watching
she
just
thought
that
was
thrilling
last
night
and
I'd
like
to
to
talk
that
and
I
and
one
other
thing
I'd
like
to
do
is-
is
also
during
this
time
and
talk
about
this
is
the
month
that
we
seem
to
recognize
everybody
and
everything
and
and
this
month
is
especially
important
because
it
is
teacher
appreciation
month
week
and-
and
we
want
to
take
the
opportunity
to.
B
C
Thank
you
first,
I
want
to
say
it's
also
nurses
appreciation
week,
so
thank
you,
debbie
for
being
a
nurse.
C
I
want
to
say
john
noon
was
there
because
he
was
an
arundel
baseball
player,
so
go
john
bernie
spent
36
years
as
as
the
head
coach
at
arundel
high
school,
he
won
10
state
championships,
15
regional
titles.
He
had
a
career
record
of
609
to
185,
which
was
a
.767
winning
record,
which
is
pretty
amazing.
C
In
2007
he
was
inducted
into
the
american
baseball
coaches
association
hall
of
fame,
which
is
usually
reserved
for
college
coaches.
He
was
only
the
third
person
from
maryland
to
ever
be
inducted
into
that
hall
of
fame
and
also
in
2007.
He
was
inducted
into
the
inaugural
class
of
the
national
high
school
coaches
association
hall
of
fame.
So
congratulations
to
bernie
walter.
The
field
had
a
beautiful
sign
with
his
name
on
it,
and
it
was
a
great
event
so
just
wanted
to
let
everybody
know
about
that.
C
C
C
I'm
I'm
very
concerned-
and
I
just
wanted
to
share
that
with
the
public.
I'm
I'm
not
concerned
about
who
the
people
are.
I'm
concerned
that
there
are
people.
I
think
our
children
deserve
to
have
a
full
board
of
education
that
can
carry
out
its
business
and
I
think
that
we're
doing
a
disservice
to
the
children,
to
the
people
of
this
county
to
not
have
a
full
board
of
education.
We
have
one
person
who's
traveling
on
business
and
our
student
member
is
taking
an
ap
exam.
C
C
There
isn't
a
time
frame
given,
but
there's
a
responsibility
in
the
law
if
you're
as
concerned-
as
I
am
please
go
to
his
website
and
let
him
know
that
you're
concerned
and
that
you
think
that
anne
arundel
county's
children
deserve
a
fully
seated
board
of
education,
and
please
ask
for
him
to
act
as
quickly
as
possible.
Thank
you.
J
Many
organizations
provide
additional
scholarships
and
I
won't
name
all
of
them,
but
I
would
do
want
to
point
out
the
retired
teachers
because
it
is
teacher
appreciation
week
and
so
I'm
going
to
appreciate
retired
teachers,
I'm
one
of
those
too,
but
this
organization
each
year
provides
three
four
thousand
dollar
each.
So
that's
twelve
thousand
dollars
worth
of
scholarships
to
three
anne
arundel
county
students
who
profess
an
interest
in
go
and
are
going
on
to
become
teachers,
and
I
think
that's
a
great
give.
I
really
do
and-
and
it's
been
going
on
for
many
years.
J
So
my
personal
thanks-
I'm
a
member
of
the
group
too,
but
I
have
to
you
know,
say
that.
But
I
do
want
to
thank
the
group
for
for
making
such
a
huge
commitment
to
the
educating
of
teachers,
especially
of
our
own
students,
who
might
like
to
become
teachers
and
may
not
be
able
to
to
pursue
that.
Four
thousand
dollars
is
a
substantial
amount
of
money
for
these
young
students.
So
thank
you
so
much
also,
yesterday
I
tended
with
debbie
ritchie
and
dr
arlotto
overlook
elementary
school.
J
We
went
to
the
kindergartens
and
they
two
of
them
and
they
we
read.
Some
of
they
were
published
authors
and
we
read
some
of
their
publications.
The
students
were
absolutely
wonderful.
It
was
just
the
highlight
of
of
this
week,
not
that
the
board
meeting
isn't
don't
get
me
wrong,
but
it
was
really
fun
to
go
to
that
school
and
see
those
students
light
up
when
dr
rolotto
and
and
debbie
ritchie
and
I
were
reading
their
own
published
works.
It
was
quite
a
joy,
it's
a
wonderful
school.
So
thank
you
very
much.
M
Thank
you.
I
do
want
to
echo.
The
time
we
had
at
overlook
yesterday
was
really
fabulous.
It
was
a
great
way
for
us
to
spend
some
time
with
the
kids.
They
were
delighted
and
it
was
they
have
focused.
Their
school
has
focused
on
writing
and
a
way
of
improving
literacy
through
writing,
and
it
is
across
all
grade
levels,
beginning
with
kindergarten
right
up
through
the
fifth
grade,
and
so
it
was
a
a
really
fun
time.
M
Likewise,
after
I
left
overlook,
I
then
went
to
marley
middle
school
and
I
spent
two
hours
touring
classrooms
and
and
watching
instruction
with
one
of
their
fabulous
assistant,
principals,
jim
wissman,
and
we
would
debrief
after
we
left
each
classroom
as
I
went
through.
I
I
asked
as
I
do
as
I
visit
schools.
What
is
your
focus
for
the
school
in
your
school
improvement
plan?
M
Where
do
you
really
want
the
school
to
go
and
he
said
they
spending
a
lot
of
their
time
in
professional
development,
focusing
on
on
literacy
and
a
particular
building
vocabulary
for
their
students,
and
I
assure
you
that
in
each
one
of
the
classrooms
I
think
I
visited
12,
including
an
avid
classroom.
The
focus
was
was
really
set
on
building
vocabulary
in
lots
of
different
ways,
shapes
and
forms,
and
so
it
was
very
dynamic
lessons
and
that
was
a
good
day
spent
at
marley
middle
school.
I
was
really
proud
of
the
work
they're
doing
there.
M
Last
night
I
got
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
washington
post,
awards,
dinner
and
program
for
the
principals
of
the
year
in
the
washington
metro
area,
our
very
own
sandy
blondel,
the
principal
at
park
elementary
school
was
our
awardee.
It
was
a
fabulous
evening.
Many
of
us
were
there
to
her
family
and
friends.
Miss
gilbert
and
miss
herbert,
and
mr
liverman
were
all
there
present
as
well,
and
it
was
an
exciting
evening
to
honor
sandy
blondel
and
the
great
work
she's
done
at
park
elementary
school.
Thank
you.

N
Hi,
my
name
is
lisa
miller
I
live
in
edgewater.
Do
I
need
to
any
other
information
for
me?
My
question
is
that
how
is
it
possible
that,
despite
the
county
executive,
having
gone
on
record
in
the
capitol
that
later
school
start
times
was
one
of
his
top
priorities
and
the
board
of
education
and
the
county
council?
Both
asked
for
funding
in
the
transportation
budget
for
bus
routing
software
that
the
funding
is
still
not
there.

All

the
2015-16
school
year;
calendar
revision
and
we
have
a
presentation,
dr
aletto,
your
recommendation.
I.
O
Good
morning,
I'm
teresa
tutor
and
I'm
here
today,
as
the
chair
of
the
calendar
committee,
we
are
proposing
several
changes
to
the
approved
1516
calendar.
The
first
is
moving
the
2016
presidential
primary
election
from
tuesday
april
5th
to
tuesday
april
26th.
This
change
was
needed
because
of
the
new
legislation
the
general
assembly
passed.
O
Second,
with
regard
to
the
inclement
weather,
the
attached
draft
of
the
calendar
continues
to
build
in
five
days
for
inclement
weather,
and
we
would
use
we
would
they
would
be
used
to
make
up
the
first
five
days
if
we
did
have
closings
any
of
the
other
days
that
are
not
needed
for
inclement
weather
closings
would
be
subtracted
from
the
calendar.
If
we
don't
need
all
five
should
more
than
five
days
be
needed.
O
The
superintendent
will
discuss
a
potential
waiver
with
the
maryland
state
department
of
education,
making
a
decision
on
using
specific
days
during
easter
spring
break
as
makeup
days,
easter
monday,
which,
while
it
must
go
before
the
maryland
state
department
of
education's
board,
has
never
been
denied.
If
anyone
has
chosen
to
use
that
as
one
of
the
makeup
days-
and
many
many
counties
have
done
this
in
the
last
several
years,
so
there
are
some
other
options
that
we
could
discuss
so
that
the
wording
has
changed
on
that
piece
as
well.
P
Morning
for
the
record,
bob
moser
chief
communications
officer,
the
other
piece
that
is
changing
we're
proposing
to
change
in
the
calendar
before
you
is
more
substantive
for
parents
builds
in
the
superintendent,
is
looking
to
move
to
a
place
where
we
have
parent-teacher
conferences
in
all
four
marking
periods.
This
would
be
the
first
step
in
that
it
would
build
in
a
parent-teacher
conference
day
at
all
schools
on
monday
february
22nd,
so
schools
would
be
closed
for
students
and
we'd
have
parent-teacher
conferences
to
accommodate
that.
P
We
would
move
the
end
of
the
school
year,
one
day
to
friday
june
17th
and
then
to
accommodate
the
language
in
some
of
our
negotiated
agreements.
The
first
day
of
the
two-day
semester
break,
which
is
normally
a
professional
development
day
for
teachers
teachers
would
be
off
so
that
would
bring
them
back
into
alignment
in
their
calendar
year.
P
C
Two
questions
for
clarification,
so
those
parent-teacher
conferences,
then,
would
be
for
all
students.
Now
not
just
the
lower
grades.
Correct.
P
C
So
high
schools
would
be
included,
correct,
okay
and
the
second
question
which
the
so
then
the
day
off
that
that
there
are
currently
two
days
off
for
students
in
january
and
this
coming
calendar
the
2015-16
school
year,
one
day
off
for
teachers.
We
wouldn't
continue
to
do
that
in
future
years,
where
there
were
two
days
off
for
students
and
one
day
offer
teachers
would
we
we
would
we'd.
P
C
B
B
B
A
Yeah
I
had
a
similar
question.
The
that
monday
of
january's
professional
development
is
typically
the
monday
after
exams
is
typically
professional
development,
where
they're
all
they're,
not
in
their
classrooms.
Switching
I.
A
They
really
only
they've,
only
really
ever
had
one
day
to
be
in
their
classroom
to
switch
their
classes
over
okay,
and
then
I
know
that
the
original
calendar
that
was
printed
said
november
23rd
to
24th
the
school's
closed
for
students
and
teachers.
That's
been
that
was
really
meant
to
just
say.
School
schools
are
close
for
students,
correct.
O
A
I
don't
have
any
other
board
questions
or
comments.
How
about
any
public
comments.
Q
Q
Q
The
second
workday
is
used
to
turn
over
rosters
and
prepare
for
a
new
semester
and
prepare
classes
for
the
next
day
when
students
come
so
I
know,
high
school
teachers
will
have
a
a
difficult
time
with
this
change,
and
I
strongly
recommend
that
you
do
not
do
this.
The
alternate
days
are
available
in
the
calendar.
Msca
day
is
an
alternate
day.
Also,
students
go
181
days
in
anne
arundel
county
that
is
not
required
by
the
state.
Q
C
Q
Q
B
And
then
the
other
problem
is
is,
unfortunately
the
msea
day.
It
is
in
the
first
semester
and
we
need
it
for
the
second
semester
and-
and
I
know
that
there
have
been
parents
who
have
been
calling
for,
for
they
want
to
have
a
second
back-to-school
night
and
not
granted.
I
I'm
fully
aware
having
gone
to
back-to-school
nights
that
elementary,
you
can't
get
in
the
door
and
and
in
high
school.
B
You
basically
are
like
the
lone
parent
walking
down
the
hallway
and-
and
I
fully
understand
that,
but
the
the
point
is
is
that
if
we
start,
we
need
to
start
changing
the
culture
and
people
had
wanted
a
second
time
for
them
to
meet
their
second
semester,
teachers
because
they
didn't
have
that
opportunity
and-
and
you
know
so,
the
first
back
to
school
night.
You
could
go
and
meet
your
back
your
teachers,
but
in
the
second
semester
your
second
marketing
period,
I
mean
the
second
semester.
B
You
couldn't
meet
your
teachers,
unless
you,
you
know,
made
a
special
appointment
to
do
that.
So
I
think
there
has
to
be
a
little
give
and
take
on
both
sides
and-
and
my
concern
was
that
I
thought
they
were
losing
a
day,
but
actually
the
day
is
being
moved
to
another
day,
so
they
still
have
that
one
day
and
they
have
a
two-hour
early
dismissal.
So
so
they
have
now.
I
didn't
miss
the
point.
They
they
still
have
four
hours.
They
have
two
hours
after
school
each
day
because
the
students
are
out.
B
Q
Okay,
if
I
may
high
school
teachers,
particularly
english
teachers,
are
giving
very
long
they're
very
long
exams.
I
know,
as
an
elementary
teacher
reading
33
essays
on
a
weekend
for
five
hours
that
it
takes
a
long
time
to
do
these
things
we
already
under
huge
constraints
and
workload.
Let's
add
some
more.
Q
This
is
a
huge
problem
for
us.
You
want
to
add
more
and
more
on.
We
keep
doing
more
and
more
with
less
and
less
and
less
there's.
This
is
going
to
be
another
straw
that
breaks
the
camel's
back,
I'm
just
giving
you
the
message
you're
going
to
hear
it
from
them
later
when
this
happens,
why
do
something
that's
going
to
be
detrimental
to
a
workforce?
That's
already
so
heavily
burdened
by
so
much
workload
and
not
enough
time
to
get
stuff
done
as
it
is.
That's
all
I'm
saying
so.
L
A
Q
A
A
L
A
Q
Well,
we've
been
saying
the
181st
student
day
is
a
good
place
where
you
could
do
this
msca
day,
but
I
understand
it's
not
in
the
same
semester.
I
don't
know
how
that
works.
You
know,
honestly,
I
I
don't
know
where
else
they
could
come
from.
C
C
Perhaps
we
could
find
out
from
montgomery
county
and
howard
county
montgomery
county
has
one
day
at
their
semester.
Break
and
howard
county
has
no
days
off
for
students
at
semester
break.
Perhaps
we
could
find
out
from
their
teachers
how
they
handle
grading
and
switching
their
classrooms
at
semester
break
so
that
we
could
get
some
ideas
for
our
teachers
to
help
them
handle
that,
because
you
know,
apparently
they
don't
have
an
issue
with
it.
So
perhaps
we
could
ask
for
some
guidance
so
that
our
teachers
don't
struggle
with
it.
B
The
problem
with
181
days
is,
I
don't
need
to
know
who
my
teacher
is
at
the
end
of
180
days.
I
already
you
know
I
mean
so
so
that's
an
issue
and
I
understand
what
they're
saying,
but
I
also
understand
that
there's
other
school
systems
that
don't
even
have
that
we
give
two
days
for
that.
So
I
think
that
it
is
a
workload
issue.
B
It
is
a
concern
and
hopefully
we
can
work
to
make
that
happen,
but
at
the
same
time
I
know
that
for
many
years
parents
have
been
asking
for
the
ability
to
meet
their
second
semester,
teachers
and
they
haven't
had
that
ability,
and
so
here's
an
opportunity
that
you
know
we.
We
want
parents
involved
in
schools,
but
only
sort
of
like
when
we
say
it's:
okay
and
and
that's
not
okay,
especially
in
high
school,
I
mean
you've
got
to
really
get
kids
and
parents
involved.
B
If
we're
talking
about
the
achievement
gap,
if
we're
talking
about
graduation
rates,
if
we're
talking
about
making
sure
parents
are
involved,
you
know-
and
yes,
I
know
the
argument
is
well:
those
parents
aren't
going
to
be
the
ones
that
necessarily
show
up,
but
you
know
what
they
might
be
and
we
have
to
start
changing
the
culture
and
the
culture
is.
We
need
you
to
be
involved
and
we
need
you
to
know
what's
going
on,
no,
not
just
in
september,
but
in
february
and
in
january
and
march,
and
all
those
other
times
in
between.
B
So
I
I
fully
understand
that
we're
asking
teachers
to
take
one
of
those
days
away
and
consolidate,
and
I
understand
that,
but
at
the
same
time
I
also
understand
that
we
will
never
close
the
achievement
gap
if
we
do
not
start
doing
things
differently
and
if
we
do
not
start
actively
involving
those
people
in
our
community
who
will
help
us
to
make
that
happen.
And-
and
so
I
I
fully
sympathize
with
the
fact
that
that's
happening,
but
at
the
same
time
I
understand
we
have
to
start
doing
something
differently.
C
A
A
All
right
there's
no
more
comments,
so
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
That's
been
properly
made
and
seconded
all
those
in
favor.
A
A
M
B
I
just
wanted
to
publicly
say
again:
there's
a
lot
of
angst
about
our
our
food
and
about
you
know
how
bad
it
is
and
that
we're
making
all
these
fat
children
with
our
with
our
horrible
food
in
the
cafeteria,
and
so
I
would
challenge
anybody
who
believes
that
our
food
is
not
nutritionally,
sound
and
isn't
tasty
to
take
the
opportunity
to
join
their
child
for
lunch
one
day
and
have
a
meal
that
they're
having
in
the
cafeteria.
B
You
can
have
all
the
fruits
and
vegetables
you
want.
So
that's
a
that's
a
plus,
maybe
you'll
get
there
on
a
day
when
they're
having
orange
chicken.
That
would
be.
You
know,
be
great
too,
and
you
know
it's
it's
about
perception.
I
I,
when
I
first
came
on
this
board,
my
my
key
line
was
perception.
Is
reality
and
and
as
I
come
to
the
end
of
my
five
years,
I
find
that
that's
still
an
apropos
thing
perception
is
reality.
B
I
can
tell
you
that
food
probably
wasn't
really
the
best
when
I
was
partaking
of
some
of
those
meals,
but
it
wasn't
because
they
didn't
try
to
make
it
good.
It
was
because
it's
institutional
food-
and
that
sometimes
happens,
but
I
believe
that
our
nutrition
and
food
service
has
done
an
excellent
job
in
trying
to
provide
an
opportunity
for
a
variety
of
food
and
a
variety
of
taste,
and
so
I
would
and
and
for
you
know
three
bucks.
B
You
can't
beat
that
really,
I'm
telling
you
this
it's
a
good
and-
and
I
had
that
because
the
first
school
visit
we
went
on,
they
said
you're
gonna
have
lunch
and
I
thought,
oh,
my
god,
I
better
eat
a
big
breakfast,
because
I
ain't
eating
this
and
it
was
I
was
it
was.
It
was
really
very
good.
It
really
was
very
tasty
and
I
mean
the
the
rice
that
they
had
was
really
good,
the
one
with
the
chicken
I
mean
it
was
just
it
was
delicious.
B
I
know
I
say
that
over
and
over,
but
I
really
would
challenge
anybody
who
has
not
eaten
a
meal
at
the
school
to
take
an
opportunity
to
do
that
and
because
I
think
you'll
see
a
world
of
difference.
So
thank
you
for
keeping
the
prices
low
and
thank
you
for
making
sure
that
our
children
have
nutritional,
sound
meals.
F
F
Okay,
now,
hopefully,
we
can
change
the
air
in
the
room
and
make
it
a
little
more
light,
because
we
have
fabulous
news
good
morning.
Members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
jen
lombardi,
I'm
coordinator
of
avid
for
anne
arundel
county
public
school
at
the
avid
office
is
here
today
to
share
how
our
avid
program
is
advancing
and
embracing
the
mission
of
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
and
moving
the
vision
of
the
superintendent
forward.
F
It
is
because
of
your
support
and
the
county
support
of
the
avid
program
that
students
in
the
academic
middle
are
supported
every
day
in
what
they
do.
In
fact,
we
are
eliminating
achievement
gaps
through
targeted
recruitment
of
historically
underrepresented
student
groups
and
then
opening
access
to
rigorous
courses
and
supporting
those
students,
as
they
persevere
through.
F
F
F
F
There
were
some
disparities
for
hispanic
and
socioeconomically
disadvantaged
students
and
the
avid
office
is
looking
into
what
resiliency
strategies
can
we
help
support
students,
so
they
have
a
third
year
plan,
but
the
third
year
plan
could
have
been.
I
finished
my
two
years
nursing
degree
at
anne
arundel
community
college,
I'm
going
to
work
for
this
hospital
and
they
are
going
to
pay
for
my
continued
education.
F
F
The
two
avid
seniors
sitting
next
to
me
are
going
to
do
great
things
for
anne
arundel
county
and
for
a
world
around
us.

C
L
I'm
here
to
tell
you
about
my
avid
journey
and
how
I've
implemented
the
lessons
I've
learned
in
avid
into
my
academic
journey.
Over
the
years
I
joined
avid
in
seventh
grade.
Miss
anderson
drafted
me,
and
I
had
some
friends
that
were
in
avid
and
on
my
way
to
my
next
class,
because
we
would
leave
from
gym
class
and
pass
by
her
class.
L
I
would
stop
in
there
and
talk
to
my
friends
for
a
little
bit
and
that
would
and
then
she
got
used
to
seeing
me
and
she
asked
me
if
I
wanted
to
join
abbot.
She
asked
me
what
my
grades
were
looking
like
and
I
had.
I
was
a
b
student
still
at
maybe
never
miss
an
honorable
and
she
had
organized
with
my
counselor
that
I
get
into
the
avid
program
next
semester
and
I
have
been
in
ever
since
in
the
middle
school.
L
What
we
really
focus
on
what
was
emphasized
in
our
program
was
taking
cornell
notes
right
and
learning
how
to
problem
solve
with
tutorials,
and
we
all
knew
that
what
the
importance
of
taking
cornell's
were
as
we
needed
to
make
sure
that
we
wrote
down
our
notes.
L
We
watch
a
video
about
chrono
notes
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
them
properly,
that
we
go
back
and
make
the
revisions
that
we
need
to
make
and
any
abbreviations
any
corrections
any
highlights
anything
that
we
think
should
be
emphasized
before
we
take
our
test.
L
And-
and
I
was
that
carried
on
throughout
the
high
school-
and
we
started
to
emphasize
more
on
the
college
application
process
starting
our
junior
year
and
we
had
started,
we
had
wrote
our
we've
written.
We
had
written
our.
L
Essays
for
the
common
app
our
junior
year-
and
we
have
our
teacher-
has
stored
them
for
us.
So
next
year,
when
we
came
back
our
senior
year
coming
starting
near
the
start
of
november,
we
had
brought
them
back
out
and
we
just
added
anything
else
that
we
had
achieved
over
the
summer
or
in
the
first
few
months
of
our
senior
year,
and
we
had
put
that
into
their
essay
to
make
it
more
impressive.
For
the
colleges
of
course,
and
she
really
missed
gordon.
L
She
really
worked
hard
to
make
us
experts
in
the
com
in
the
college
application
process
and
making
sure
that
we
didn't
stray
away
from
answering
the
actual
question,
because
we
she
knew-
and
we
know
now
that
when
we're
writing
the
essays
for
our
colleges,
they
want
to
know
us
as
well
as
they
can
without
us
being
in
the
room.
And
we
know
that
they
need
to
be
able
to
make
a
character
analysis
of
who
they're
letting
into
their
school
through
actually
answering
the
question.
L
And
it
was
emphasized
that
we
have
to
make
sure
not
to
go
off
on
a
tangent,
because
it's
really
easy
to
do.
That.
Especially
when
you're
writing
about
yourself
to
not
go
off
on
a
tangent
and
make
sure
that
you're
actually
answering
the
question
and
I
applied
to
18
schools
and
I've
been
accepted
into
15
and
I'm
leaning
towards
misericordia
university
in
the
fall
I'm
looking
into
going
into
nursing.
They
have
a
four-year
nursing
program
there
and
I'm
excited
to
start
my
academic
journey
into
college.
L
There's
one
more
thing:
a
couple
couple
more
things
I
wanted
to
add
is
that
with
avid
it
wasn't
just
about
corner
notes,
tutorials
and
the
college
application
process.
It
was
also
about
carrying
that
out
into
the
school.
So
in
our
our
avid
program,
ms
gordon
has
set
up
an
avid
house
program,
so
we
had
house
leaders
and
they
were
the
names
of
colleges
in
maryland
and
it
was.
It
was
an
incentive
program,
so
we
would
have
avid
dollars
and
they
had
the
faces
of
our
teachers
on
the
dollar.
L
So
we
had
ones
fives
tens
twenties,
and
I
was
one
of
the
leaders
for
howard
house.
We
came
in
second,
unfortunately,
salisbury
won,
but
it
was
to
give
us
like
avid.
We
got
every
dollars
for
stuff
like
getting
honorable
or
principals
honorable
or
getting
accepted
to
a
college
or
receiving
scholarship
money,
and
we
had
planned
a
field
trip
at
the
end
for
the
for
the
house,
leaders
and
the
people
who
have
participated
in
the
fundraiser.
L
We
did
like
a
bake,
sale,
type
thing,
and
another
thing
that
was
that
kind
of
strayed
off
of
our
avid
program
is
the
avid
mentor
program.
Mr
hansen
is
my
counselor
and
he's
avid
counselor
and
he
has
set
it
up
so
that
he
took
some
leaders
within
the
avid
program
and
helped
the
students
during
advisory.
We
met
once
a
week.
We
helped
students
that
were
struggling
in
avid.
L
And
we
would
look
at
their
grade
sheets
and
we
would
highlight
the
things
that
we
thought
they
could
redeem
more
points
on,
and
it
was
good
that
they
actually
tried
and
we
stayed
on
top
of
them,
made
sure
that
they
used
that
time
during
pride
period
and
after
school
to
bring
their
grades
up.
G
Hello
hi,
my
name
is
trayvon
algren.
I
am
currently
a
senior
at
arundel
high
school
I've
been
to
avi
since
I
was
in
the
sixth
grade
and
it's
helped
me
tremendously
going
into
avid.
I
wasn't
really
sure
what
it
was
I
mean
my
parents
have
heard
about
it
before
I
had,
and
it
was
one
of
those
things
that,
like
I
wasn't
really
100
sure,
but
mother
was
more
so
like
try
it
out
and
see
if
you'd
like
it.
G
So
I
continued
throughout
middle
school
and
high
school
and
helped
mold
me
to
become
a
person
that
I
never
thought
I'd
become
have
avid
has
helped
with
my
organization
tremendously.
G
G
I
am
second
generation
to
go
to
college.
Both
of
my
parents
attended
college,
but
they
had
me
at
a
young
age,
so
it
was
kind
of
hard
balancing
college
and
a
child
at
the
same
time.
So
there
would
be
times
where
I
need
that
help
from
my
parents,
but
they
didn't
really
have
the
answers
for
me
and
there'd
be
times
where
well
during
the
college
application
for
like
process,
for
example,
where
I
would
ask
my
parents
for
like
what
are
they
asking
for,
or
what
should
I
put
here
and
my
mom
would
swiftly
answer.
G
G
Well,
I
have
applied
to
not
really
a
lot
of
schools.
I
applied
to
the
culinary
institute
of
america
in
hyde
park,
new
york
and
I
got
accepted
there
they're
offering
me
five
thousand
dollars
yearly
to
attend
their
school,
and
that
was
my
first
choice.
G
I
was
also
offered
sixty
thousand
dollars
by
johnson
and
wales
university
to
attend
their
school.
But
again,
the
culinary
institute
is
my
first
choice,
so
I
have
dreams
of
becoming
an
executive
chef
one
day
and
I
think
avid
will
help
me
further
those
skills
and
actually
help
me
achieve
my
goals
that
I've
set
for
myself
way
down
the
line.
G
I
think
I
set
the
goal
when
I
was
in
the
ninth
grade
when,
like
we
would
research,
schools
and
avid
like
we
do
that,
all
the
time
we
would
research
colleges-
and
I
didn't
really
know
what
college
I
wanted
to
go
to
and
they
had
college
visits.
College
tours
there's
been
schools
that
I
kind
of
liked,
and
I
could
see
myself
going
to,
but
I
think
the
culinary
institute
is
definitely
where
I
belong
and
I
am
ecstatic
to
attend
them
so
yeah,
okay,
thank
you.
B
Of
course,
you
know
I
I
love
avin.
I
think
that
I
I'm
so
glad
that
it's
grown
as
well
as
it's
grown
in
our
in
our
county
and
that
we
have
two
fine
examples
right
here,
a
gates
millennium
winner,
I
mean
forget.
E
B
B
Some
people
don't
and
some
people
just
need
a
way
to
help
to
shape
that,
and
this
program
is
absolutely,
I
think
one
of
the
best
parts
about
that
is
is
helping
you
to
understand
why
it's
important
to
to
organize
so
glad.
You
listened
to
mom
because
you
know
that
just
reiterates
that
mom
really
does
know
best,
but
okay,
but
but
it
helps
you
to
understand.
B
You
know
I
mean
so
you'll
be
able
to
you're
able
to
take
an
opportunity
and
to
do
that
and
the
leadership
that
you
have
learned
whether
you
realized
it
or
not.
It
is
really
going
to
serve
you
well
as
a
nurse,
because
you
know
that
you,
you
need
to
have
a
lot
of
good
leadership
skills
in
in
that
opportunity.
B
L
B
B
But
I
just
I
think
that
this
is
an
absolutely
wonderful
program
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
one
of
the
gemstones
in
the
crown
of
the
things
that
we
do
is
is
is
avid,
I
think
personally,
because
it
does
provide
opportunities
and
it
helps
kids
and
then
young
adults
to
realize
what
their
true
potential
is,
because
sometimes
we
don't
have
people
that
can
do
that
for
us,
but
but
we
do
always
have
somebody
in
avid.
So
I'm
just
thrilled
and
congratulations
to
you
both
and
the
best
of
luck
in
both
of
your
chosen
fields.
M
Thank
you
that
that
was
fabulous.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
Thanks
for
sharing
your
story,
that's
it's
important.
C
M
Us
to
hear
you
and
your
story
and
what
you're
going
to
do
with
your
lives
and
how
we
have
somehow
contributed
to.
That
is
our
story
right.
We
don't
have
a
story
without
our
students
and
the
fact
that
you
come
out
here
in
public
and
share
that
and
share
that
with
others.
As
the
years
go
on.
We
had
a
young
man
here
two
weeks
ago.
M
That
shared
part
of
his
story
is
a
graduate
of
chesapeake
high
school,
and
then
he
went
on
to
umbc
and
now
he's
going
off
to
get
his
phd
at
at
cal
berkeley.
That's
really
cool
for
us
right.
This
is
so.
This
is
a
big
deal
for
us
in
all
aspects
of
the
school
system.
Ten
thousand
employees,
our
focus
is
you,
and
so
when
we
can
hear
the
stories
about
what
in
some
way,
shape
or
form,
we've
contributed
to
where
you're
headed
in
life,
that's
a
huge
reward
for
us.
So
I
thank
you.
M
I
thank
ms
lombardi
for
her
continued
focus
and
efforts.
Jonathan
trayvon,
I
wish
you
truly
the
best
trayvon,
just
some
advice,
heading
off
to
cia
up
in
hyde
park,
dress
warm!
M
My
son
is
a
freshman
at
bard,
which
is
just
north
on
hudson,
just
north
of
hyde
park,
and
he
learned
that
the
hard
way
so
lots
so
bundle
up,
but
it's
a
fabulous
place.
It's
a
beautiful
campus
and
every
time
we
go
up
in
the
past
year
to
visit
our
sun
at
bard.
We
try
and
make
reservations
at
one
of
the
three
restaurants
and
they're
always
full
at
cia.
M
H
Thank
you
ma'am
to
both
of
you
thanks
thanks
for
sharing
your
story
again
and
mrs
lombardi.
I
just
had
a
couple
of
questions
that,
if
you
could
maybe
follow
up
with
respect
to
the
scholarships
that
you
talked
about
11
million
for
last
year,
17
million
already
with
still
some
time
left
for
this
year.
Where
are
we
seeing
those
across
the
avid
program
across
the
district?
And
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
answer
that
now,
but
and
we've
got
avid
programs
all
across
our
district.
F
So
you're
asking
me
what
the
12
different
high
schools.
F
For
example,
at
old
bell
high
school
they
have
four
million,
and
it's
most
of
our
high
schools
are
up
this
year
over
last
year.
F
Obviously,
if
they
have
as
much
as
they
do,
the
large
ones
arundel
high
school
and
I'm
sorry
annapolis,
high
school
has
2
million
arundel
high
school
has
1
million
glen
burnie
high
school
has
1
million.
North
county
has
above
1
million.
I
didn't
have
an
exact
number
from
them.
F
Northeast
has
3.9
million,
and
they
were
last
year.
They
were
at
2.7
million
and
northeast
has
not
one
of
the
largest
programs.
It's
a
smaller
school.
This
is
just
at
northeast.
Its
58,
avid
seniors,
have
earned
more
than
3.9
million
old
mill.
High
school
73,
avid
seniors
have
earned
4
million
south
river
46
have
earned
1.5
southern
22
have
earned
1.1.
H
H
H
H
Could
you
share
some
of
those
details
not
necessarily
today,
but
maybe
could
you
share
some
of
that
persistence
data
because
it
interests
me
very
much
so
when
you
say
88
used
the
money
of
those
80
or
80
after
they
got
through
college
or
the
first
year.
College,
I
think,
is
what
you
were
saying:
88
percent
stopped
or
12
stopped
using
it
after
that
first
year,
and
then
it
dropped
down
after
the
second
year
of
70,
something
so
20.
Something
percent
didn't
use
it.
H
Maybe
if
you
could
quantify
those
numbers
of
people
that
are
actually
going
out
and
it's
great,
we
know
like,
for
example,
11
million
earned
it,
but
I'm
also
interested
in
how
much
of
that
11
million
was
actually
used
by
those
students,
as
they
went
through
the
first
year
and
second
year
of
college
right.
H
Right,
well,
I
think
he
said
for
the
one
that
he's
going
to
go
to
he's
only
going
to
use
five
you've
got
five
right
now:
yeah
yeah,
right
right,
five
times,
four
twenty
right,
which
is
absolutely
fantastic,
I'm
just
kind
of
like
we
talk
about
all
the
ap
work
that
we're
doing
here
and
getting
students
into
ap,
but
I
want
to
start
to
understand
and
peel
the
onion
back
about
how
many
of
those
students
are
getting
threes,
fours
and
fives,
as
opposed
to
we're
just
getting
them
in
to
take
an
ap
class.
H
So
same
way
with
scholarships.
It's
great
that
we
highlight.
We've
got
17
million
dollars
worth
of
scholarships
for
this
year
and
we
may
have
more.
I
want
to
understand
how
many,
how
much
of
that
money
is
actually
being
used
by
our
avid
students
as
they
go
into
their
first
second,
third
and
fourth
year
of
college.
Does
that
make.
M
M
Course
will
be:
it's
become
self-reported
data
yeah
right,
so
it's
we
have
to
try
and
get
a
hold
of
the
students
and
they
could
call
us
back
or
not.
Call
us
back.
You
guys
are
calling
us
back
right.
Okay,
so
we've
got
two,
but
so
you
understand
so
that's
part
of
is
when
they
leave
us
in
the
public
school
system.
We
don't
always.
M
We
can't
get
the
data
we'd
love
to
have
to
say,
as
they
go
from
two-year
colleges
to
four-year
colleges,
how
they
do
how
they
perform,
what
they
do
beyond
that,
how
they
use
their
scholarship
money.
It's
all
self-reported
we
can
reach
out,
but
we
don't
have
that
sort
of
engine
that
we
can
sort
of
draw
that
data
in
it
from
our
graduates.
It
becomes
difficult
for
us.
A
Jonathan,
when
you
come
back
or
you
finish,
nursing
school,
if
you
come
back
to
anne
arundel
medical
center,
let
us
know
so.
We
know
we're
in
good
hands.
We
know
which
hospital
go
to
or
baltimore
medical
center
or
the
va
with
w
go
work
with
debbie.
L
A
When
you've
got
a
restaurant
when
you're
the
executive
chef,
we
want
to
know
so
we
can
come
patronize
it
and
I
I
just
wanted
to
encourage
you.
Both
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
this,
but
there
is
sort
of
an
avid
program
in
college.
It's
called
fye
first
year
experience,
so
when
you
get
that
course
catalog
and
you
have
to
sign
up
for
your
classes
for
your
freshman
year.
A
If
you
see
anything
that
says
fye,
that's
like
avid
college
level
avid
and
you
guys
are
probably
well
prepared,
but
you
might
make
really
good
mentors
to
the
kids
that
are
in
there
that
need
that
program
who
might
not
have
had
the
opportunity
to
have
avid
in
high
school.
So
I
just
want
to
encourage
you
to
look
for
that.
Fye.

The

of
the
recently
issued
county
executive's
recommended
fy,
2016
operating
and
capital
budgets,
the
budget
as
released
on
may
the
1st
2015,
as
required
by
the
county
charter.
S
So
I'd
like
to
begin
with
a
brief
overview
of
the
operating
budget,
we've
taken
the
account
executive's
operating
budget
and
distilled
it
down
to
this
one
page
overview.
That's
up
on
the
screen
for
your
viewing
pleasure
and
let
me
simply
orientate
you
to
how
the
chart
is
laid
out.
So
the
top
quarter
of
the
chart
speaks
about
revenue
and
moving
from
the
left
to
the
right.
You'll
see
that
we
concluded
our
fy
15
year
or
we
will
conclude
it
with
an
approved
operating
budget
of
101
billion
and
62
million
dollars.
S
The
budget
was
released.
The
recommendation
going
forward
to
the
county
council
by
the
county
executive
for
the
board
of
education
then
contained
1
billion
and
80
million
dollars,
or
an
18.2
million
dollar
year-over-year
increase.
Again
that's
from
all
sources,
so
diving
a
little
bit
deeper
on
the
revenue
front,
you'll
see
that
the
board
of
education
from
the
federal
government
had
anticipated
and
therefore
asked
for
no
increase
in
federal
government
unrestricted
funding.
The
county
executive's
proposed
budget
does
agree
in
that
regard,
so
it's
a
match
from
the
state
when
the
board
initially
constructed
its
budget.
S
Thankfully,
through
the
general
assembly
process
and
some
negotiations
at
the
state,
the
revenue,
the
unrestricted
revenue
for
anne
arundel
county
was
increased
from
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
to
just
under
8.7
million
dollars,
and
that
is
in
fact
recognized
within
county
executive
shoes
budget
as
well.
Now,
what
is
absent,
as
everyone
does
know,
is
there
still
is
that
lingering
question
over
the
other
half
the
58,
I'm
sorry
the
4.8
million
dollars
the
other
50
of
the
gci.
S
That
is
undetermined
and
therefore
it
is
not
contained
here
if,
in
fact,
that
came
to
fruition,
we've
had
some
discussions
with
our
partners
in
county
government.
S
If
that
would
was
to
occur
between
now
and
the
12th
of
june,
when
the
county
has
to
conclude
its
budget
proceedings,
we
will
work
with
the
county
government
to
recognize
that
additional
revenue,
if
it
occurs
at
some
point
after
the
county
council,
struck
its
budget,
then
we
would
most
likely
have
to
go
to
the
county
with
a
supplemental
request-
supplemental
funding
request,
but
we
do
that
each
and
every
year
anyway,
as
we
win
grants
that
were
not
initially
anticipated,
et
cetera.
So
we
would
go
to
the
county
at
some
point.
S
Mid-Year
in
fy
16
asks
for
that
revenue
to
be
recognized,
naturally,
if
it
is
not
released
by
the
governor
at
all.
This
is
the
number
that
will
guide
us
for
the
year
ahead
from
the
county
government,
the
board
of
education
requested
an
unrestricted
funding
increase
of
39.1
million
dollars.
The
county
executive's
budget
is
funded
at
11,
just
under
12
million
dollars,
11.98
million
dollars
the
rest
is
a
match.
He
concurred.
S
His
recommendation
concurs
with
your
request
in
terms
of
local
funding
and
the
use
of
our
fund
balance
and
then
in
the
restricted
categories.
The
county
executive's
fund
funding
recommendation
again
is
a
match
with
what
you
requested
so
again,
netting
together
on
the
revenue
side,
that
is,
that
18.155
million
dollar
year
over
year
increase.
S
S
But
of
note.
The
board
of
education's
adopted
budget
had
requested
funding
of
approximately
14.6
million
dollars
to
fund
a
step
increase
for
those
members
eligible
for
a
step
increase
or
a
two
percent
cola
for
some
of
the
labor
units
that
do
not
have
steps
at
all
built
into
their
pay
structure,
so
that
was
approximately
14.6
million
dollars.
S
The
county
executive's
recommendation
has
a
one
percent
compensation,
enhancement,
placeholder.
The
manner
and
distribution
of
that
will
be
subject
to
your
guidance
and
your
negotiations
with
the
labor
units
and
the
superintendent's
office
for
those
non-represented
employees
going
further
down
the
page.
Then
we
do
have
another
year
of
the
mandated
teacher
pension
shift
by
mandate.
We're
required
to
send
approximately
2.8
million
dollars
to
the
state
of
maryland
to
cover
our
local
share
of
that
teacher
pension
shift
and
accounting
executives
budget
does
contain
funding
for
that.
S
The
next
notable
item
down
below
is
the
monarch
charter
contract
school
expansion.
We,
as
you
know,
we
have
a
successful
contract
school,
that's
operating
in
the
laurel
area,
the
monarch
global
school,
and
they
opened
up
with
a
k
through
5th
grade,
complement
and
then
they're
scheduled
in
each
successive
year
to
bring
on
additional
grades
until
they're,
fully
rounded
out
at
a
k
through
eight
compliments.
So
we'd
requested
a
3.7
million
dollars
to
fund
that
contractual
obligation
which
we
have
with
the
children's
skill
there
to
monarch
school.
S
That
was
not
funded
and
the
rest
I'll
sort
of
group
you
will
see,
beginning
with
the
american
sign
language,
interpreters
and
then
continuing
down
the
page.
There
was
a
funding
request
for
approximately
133.8
positions
and
rather
than
the
county
executive,
picking
and
choosing
which
specific
programmatic
categories
to
fund
or
not
to
fund
the
strategy
that
was
taken
was
to
go
ahead
and
convert
the
remaining
money.
S
There
are
14
of
those
69
and
a
half
positions.
Are
revenue
neutral,
as
you
recall,
the
american
sign
language,
interpreters
and
the
non-public
positions.
There
are
no
cost
implications
for
those,
so
that's
simply
a
swap
of
contractual
positions
for
board
of
education
employees,
but
the
remaining
55.5
positions
are
in
fact
new
ftes
that
can
be
distributed
as
the
board
of
education
and
super
tenancy
fit.
S
The
only
other
notable
item
of
interest
is
there
you'll
see
a
750
000
line
item.
The
county
government
has
had
a
capital
project
in
place
to
continue
the
expansion
of
their
wide
area
network
and
to
expand
the
number
and
the
throughput
on
that
network,
of
which
we
benefit,
as
do
the
libraries,
the
schools,
the
fire
departments,
the
police
stations,
all
county
government
facilities.
So
this
will
certainly
help
the
county
and
therefore
help
the
county
help
us
continue
with
our
access
to
wide
area
networks.
S
The
bottom
element
is
simply
again
a
match
in
the
restricted
category,
so
they
were
a
dollar
for
dollar
match
no
change.
So
in
summation
the
board
of
education
requested
in
totality
a
year
over
year,
3.8
percent
3.8
3.88
increase
the
budget.
It's
been
recommended
by
the
county
executive
would
fund
a
1.71
increase
and
with
that
I
conclude
my
remarks
as
they
relate
to
the
operating
budget
and,
if
you're
so
inclined.
C
N
C
C
C
It
essentially
is
just
to
pay
for
the
increased
number
of
students
over
the
last
number
of
years.
The
reason
we've
been
able
to
do
any
of
those
things
is
because
we
figured
out
how
to
save
money,
how
to
make
do
with
less
how
to
do
more
with
what
we
have
this
year
is
no
different,
don't
be
fooled.
The
county
executive's
budget
outlines
where
the
money
should
be
spent
in
one
part,
with
a
one
percent
for
salary
increase,
but
again
that's
at
the
expense
of
the
additional
resources
that
our
additional
students
need.
C
C
What
55
of
the
134
positions
that
you
asked
for
the
other
79?
You
can't
have
the
positions
that
your
kids
need.
You
can't
have
the
bilingual
facilitators
additional
pre-k
teachers,
english
language
acquisition,
teachers,
our
triple
e
expansion
teachers
for
elementary
students
that
are
bringing
them
up
to
do
their
work
at
a
higher
level.
Special
education
teachers,
classroom
teachers
for
additional
enrollment,
school
psychologists,
harmonic
contract
school
expansion
and
the
funding
for
an
early
start
time
that
the
county
executive
said
that
he
supported
our
kids
deserve
better.
All
of
our
students
deserve
better.
C
C
C
B
Very
well
said
miss
burke,
so
technically,
what
you
said
is
is
correct,
but
also
technically
he
did
give
us
the
money.
It's
just
how
we
choose
to
not
for
the
full
thing
he
gave
us
four
million
dollars,
which
is
55
positions.
S
B
Okay,
so
that's
that's
13
million
then
so
we
have
so
we
had.
We
wanted
36
million
for
the
133
positions
and
we
got
for
69,
which
is
13
million,
and
now
we
have
to
choose
what
we're
going
to
do
with
that
13
million.
So
when
the
school
start
time,
people
go
and
say
you
didn't
put
money
in
for
transportation
software,
he
can
say.
Yes,
he
did.
We
chose
not
to
to
use
it
or
to
start
the
school
yeah,
because
he
did.
I
mean.
S
S
So
the
the
money
is
distributed
amongst
the
14
state
categories,
so
the
funds
that
were
distributed,
the
funds
that
this
budget
represents
principally
fall
into
really
only
four
main
categories.
They
fall
into
the
instructional
salary
category,
where
the
bulk
of
the
teachers
and
the
compensation
increases
they
fall
into
the
fixed
charges,
category,
which
is
where
your
pension
and
retirement
planning
is.
S
They
fall
into
the
operations
of
plant
because
that's
750
000
for
the
cable
expansion
falls
into
operation
of
plan
and
then
the
one
percent
compensation
placeholder
is
in
fact
spread
across
many
of
those
categories,
because
even
even
one
of
our
custodial
workers,
one
of
our
special
educators,
etc.
So
it
really
falls
there.
There
is
not
in
the
transportation
category
our
transportation
state
category
did
not
go
up
one
and
a
quarter
million
dollars,
so
that
funding
is
not
in
that
column.
B
What
because
this
is
a
game
of
words?
Okay,
this
is
what
this
is.
This
is
a
game
of
words
and,
what's
going
to
happen,
is
we're
going
to
say
we
didn't
get
the
money
and
the
county
executive
is
going
to
say,
but
I
gave
you
money
and
you
have
to
decide
where
to
use
it.
So
so
that's
so
what
I
want
people
to
understand
is
that,
while
they
may
say
they
gave
money
for
school
start
time,
that's
they
did
not
give
us
the
money
to
fund
everything.
B
We
have
to
choose
what
we
want
to
fund.
So
I
I
I
it's
a
game
of
words:
how
much
money
that
is
not
okay.
When
I'm
looking
at
this
thing
here
when
I'm
looking
at
the
you
think
I'd
be
able
to
get
this
by
now,
but
I
just
can't
seem
to
get
it.
When
you
look
at
this,
we
asked
we
asked
they
gave
us
13
million
dollars.
B
B
N
B
B
S
We're
going
to
put
the
money
that
that
is
not
correct.
Okay,
so
you,
the
state
category
for
transportation,
does
not
have
the
funding
in
it
to
support.
E
S
S
We
don't
have
the
additional
appropriation
authority,
I
believe
I
believe,
the
intent
from
the
board
of
ed
and
if
I'm
misstating
it.
Madam
president,
you
please
correct
me,
but
I
believe
the
intent
was
to
have
that
funding
be
funded
above
maintenance
of
effort
and
then
that
funding
above
maintenance
of
effort
be
put
into
the
state
category
for
transportation
to
the
tune
of
about
1.3
million
dollars.
But
we
were
only
funded
slightly
above
maintenance
of
effort,
but
that
category
didn't
receive
that
above
moe
increase.
B
Because
when
I'm
looking
at
this
right
here,
that's
on
this
board
here,
transportation,
routing
and
contract
pay,
software
we'd
have
to
have
one
person.
So
we've
asked
for
that
person.
Seventy
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
for
for
that.
Okay
and
then,
if
you
look
down
here,
it
says
transportation
contracts
for
later
start
time,
six
hundred
thousand
dollars-
that's
all
in
here.
With
this
thirteen
I
mean
yeah,
thirteen
thousand
dollars-
I
mean
thirteen
million
dollars
right
or
is
it
in
the
wrong
category?.
B
This
is
the
piece
of
information
that's
going
out
to
the
public,
so
when
the
county
executive
is
asked
about
that,
he
can
sit
there
and
say
well,
I
put
it
right
here,
look!
Okay!
But
if
it's
in
the
wrong
category
we
need
to
make
people
understand
it's
in
the
wrong
category,
because
that's
exactly
what
it
says
here
so
of
this,
this
13
million
dollars
these
69
positions,
we're
going
to
have
to
look
in
here
and
say
well
if
we
want
to
have
three
bilingual
facilitators
that
takes
away
from
the
69.
B
S
S
I
would
just
again
want
to
try
to
clarify
something,
and
maybe
I'm
I'm
doing
a
poor
job
of
it.
It's
not
that
it's
in
the
wrong
category,
the
the
transportation
category,
the
amount
of
funding
that
we'd
asked
for
in
the
transportation
category
was
1.3
million
dollars,
essentially
more
than
the
county
executive's
request
that
1.3
million
dollars
more
would
have
come
as
a
result
of
being
funded
above
maintenance
of
effort.
We
were
not
funded
above
maintenance
of
efforts
so
that
category
shrunk
back
to
what
the
base
budget
is,
which.
B
B
M
Yes,
if
I
could,
if
I
could
jump
in,
we
can
spend
it
as
we
like
as
long
as
it
stays
in
the
category
of
correctly.
If
I'm
wrong
in
salaries,
okay,.
N
M
B
B
N
M
B
That's
that's
extreme!
That's
that's
an
extremely
important
piece
of
information,
because
people
need
to
understand
that
when
you
send
25
000
emails
to
me
and
telling
me
to
put
it
in
there,
we
can't
do
it
because
it's
not
in
the
in
the
because
we
can
only
use
it
for
so
we
can't
buy
a
contract.
We
can't
get
a
software
person
when
we
can't
even
afford
to
buy
the
software.
I
mean.
Why
would
you
buy
a?
Why
would
you
why
would
you
have
a
person?
I
don't
want
to
say,
buy
a
person?
B
We
asked
for
it
the
way
that
they
have
presented.
This
appears
to
look
like
now.
It's
our
responsibility
to
take
that
six
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
and
buy
the
contract,
but
we
can't
we
can.
We
can
get
the
person,
but
why
would
you
have
a
person
if
you
have
no
software
and
we
have
no
ability
to
buy
the
contracts
right?
B
B
M
E
M
B
Budget
with
regards
to
our
request,
basically
where
they
are,
and
the
reason
I'm
saying
all
this
is
because
tonight
at
north
county,
high
school
they're
having
the
county
council
is
having
their
hearing
because
now
the
county.
Now
the
county
council
gets
this
budget
and
they
get
to
put
their
fingers
in
here
and
do
what
they
want
to
do
so
at
north
county
high
school
they're.
Hearing
about
this,
I
can
guarantee
that
the
people
who
are
you
know
that
squeaky
wheel,
and
you
know
I
I
know
I'm
going
to
get
hate
letters,
but
I
don't
care.
B
B
Hundred
I
thought
you
said
eleven:
are
I
just
wanna
make
sure
I
was
right.
You
know
me
and
numbers,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
people
understand,
because
when
I
go
there
tonight,
that's
what
they're
going
to
be
doing
they're
going
to
be
asking
for
a
school
start
time
and-
and
the
fact
is
that
we
can't
even
get
the
contract,
because
we
don't
have
the
money,
we
can
hire
a
person
and
they
can
sit
there
all
year
long
and
do
nothing
because
we
don't
have
the
stuff
okay,
I'm
done.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
president.
You
know
we
can
be
disappointed
in
these
numbers,
but,
as
miss
burge
said,
all
moe
is
all
we've
gotten
as
a
board
of
education.
That's
all
we've
received
for
the
last
seven
years.
So
to
think
anything
different
in
our
current
environment
is
something
that
we
ought
to
consider.
H
We've
gone
through
three
county
executives,
we've
gone
through
several
county
councils
and
that's
all
we've
gotten
okay.
That
doesn't
mean
that
we
shouldn't
express
what
they're
not
going
to
get,
but
this
is
just
the
start
of
the
collaborative
conversation
that
we
need
to
have
with
our
council
members,
and
so
you
know
55.5
is
what
they've
put
in
the
budget.
H
So,
having
said
that,
miss
burge
asked
a
question
that
I
wrote
down
very
good
question:
are
we
cutting
our
taxes
at
the
expense
of
our
kids?
Facts
are
if
we
didn't
get
18
million
off
of
a
campaign
promise
off
from
the
county
executive.
Those
dollars
are
not
going
to
come
to
the
county
school
system
anyway.
H
So
the
answer
to
that
question
is
no,
because
the
county
council
and
the
county
executive
are
not
going
to
fund
over
maintenance
of
effort
relative
to
more
than
59
dollars
in
this
county.
So
what
we
have
to
be
able
to
do
as
a
board
as
a
superintendent
as
the
administration
is
to
appropriately
very
collaboratively,
articulate
what
we
can't
do,
and
so,
as
I
start
that
conversation
here
starting
tonight
at
north
county,
as
you
have
mentioned,
is
I
hope
to
have
an
understanding
of
what
our
county
is
not
going
to
be
able
to
go.
H
Do
relative
to
us
our
school
system
without
any
more
funds,
and
so
it
it.
You
know
what
I
would
like
to
see
is
one
what
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
based
off
of
the
county
executive's
recommendation.
I
asked
for
the
exact
same
thing
last
year.
I
didn't
get
it
until
after
the
county
council
struck
their
vote
on
now.
This
is
what
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
go.
H
H
A
H
B
S
B
And
just
to
take
a
little
stab
and
at
the
the
reason
we've
been
able
to
do
what
we've
done
is
because
our
teachers
have
worked
harder
because
we've
cut
back
in
administration
and
people
with
support
staff
that
we've
needed
to
do.
We
we've
not
filled
positions
that
we
needed
to
fill
that
would
have
not
made
it
easier.
B
What
but
would
have
just
made
the
days
not
quite
as
long
as
they
they
they
are,
and
we
have
done
a
lot
of
you
know
really
sucking
in
and
tightening
up
the
belt
string
about
to
make
sure
that
things
happen,
because
we
would
do
our
children
a
disservice.
B
If
we
said
well,
you
know
what
we
can
have
pva
in
middle
school,
but
too
bad
can't
have
it
in
high
school.
I
don't
know
whether
miss
corbilak's
daughter
would
have
then
been
the
only
high
school
student
who
had
a
film
in
the
film
in
the
annapolis
film
thing
at
that
time.
Had
she
not,
I
kind
of
maybe
think
she
would,
but
I
because
I
know
her
mom,
but
but
I
mean
what
I'm
just
saying
is
the
opportunities,
the
reason
we
have
done,
what
we've
done
every
time,
because
I
thought
that
too,
I
thought.
B
B
I
can't
any
longer
say
that
it's
okay,
seven
years
of
just
getting
that
it's
time
for
that
us
to
start
changing
the
conversation,
it's
time
for
the
the
citizens
of
this
county,
who
believe
that
education
is
important
who
want
to
have
you
know
we
talk
about
open
for
business.
We
talk
about
having
opportunities
here
for
young
people
and
businesses
to
move
into
our
county
they're
not
going
to
move
here.
B
If
the
school
system
isn't
good,
if
they
don't
have
affordable
housing
and
if
we
don't
have
good
jobs
for
them
and
if
we
don't
have
those
things,
it's
not
going
to
happen,
we're
having
conversations
but
remember
the
county
council
cannot
add
to
this
budget.
They
can
just
move
things
around.
They
can't
add
any
money,
so
the
money
we
have
is
the
money.
We
have
isn't
that
right.
S
So,
by
by
county
charter,
the
county,
the
county
council,
so
the
the
county
executive
sets,
the
revenue
number
sets
the
maximum
expenditure.
The
county
council
can
in
fact.
E
S
To
the
education
category,
but
unfortunately
that
would
have
to
come
at
the
expense
of.
B
B
B
We
would
have
to
take
that
money,
so
then
we're
going
to
pit
groups
against
each
other
we're
going
to
put
the
fire
department
against
the
police
department
against
the
education
department.
That's
not
what
we
want
to
do.
That's
not
what
we
want
to
do
at
all,
and
I
will
never
understand
it.
I
will
never
get
it
this.
The
whole
wealth
index
thing
I
I
just
it's.
B
My
brain
is
not
made
for
math
I've.
I've
come
to
that
realization
took
me
a
lot
of
years,
but
my
brain
is
not
I'm
sorry,
dr
cubic,
but
it's
not
it's
just
not
made
for
math,
but
I
trust
the
people
whose
brains
are
made
for
math
and
when
you
talk
about
the
wealth
index,
because
everybody
likes
to
talk
about
how
bad
we
are,
how
poor
we
are
well.
C
I
just
wanted
to
real
quick
say
that
this
isn't
just
about
our
tax
cap
because
we
actually
could
have.
I
mean
we
didn't
have
to
lower
our
tax
rate
this
year
I
mean
that
was
that
was
a
choice
that
was
made.
That
was
about
lowering
our
taxes.
We
could
have
collected
18
million
dollars
more,
that
that
was
a
conscious
decision,
and
I
I
just.
C
I
do
think
that
if,
if
people
do
believe
in
education
and
if
they
they
do
need
to
call
the
county
executive
and
the
county
council
and
let
people
know
that
they
think
these
things
are
important,
because
I
don't
think
that
they're
hearing
that
I
think
that
they
think
that
everyone
just
wants
their
hundred
dollars,
and
I
really
think
that
there
are
a
lot
of
people
out
there
who
can
see
the
difference
between
having
an
extra
hundred
dollars,
which
means
what
going
out
to
dinner
a
couple
times
and
and
yeah,
depending
upon
where
you're
eating.
C
C
A
I
just
have
a
couple
questions:
do
you
happen
to
have
the
figures
of
what
was
in
the
transportation
category
for
fy
15
versus,
what's
proposed
for
16.
S
I
do
back
my
office,
not
not
with
me
for
this
presentation,
but
that's
the
information
mr
jackson
asked
for
that
will
be
included
in
that.
O
A
And
then
this
additional
4.8
million
that
may
come
from
the
state
in
gcei.
A
S
S
A
S
On
the
revenue
side,
it
is
not
again,
the
superintendent
of
board
certainly
can
take
some
of
the
positions
that
we've
received.
Funding
for
and
allocated
to
that,
if
that
is
the
will
of
the
superintendent
award.
A
And
I
just
want
to
kind
of
reiterate,
so
it
doesn't
get
lost,
didn't
get
lost
in
all
of
our
conversation,
the
media
and
the
county
executive
office
continue
to
portray
this
extra
12
plus
million
dollars
as
this
pot
of
money
that
we
can
spend
as
we
please,
but
unless
it
is
put
in
one
of
those
14
state
categories,
we
can't
just
spend
it
like.
We
would.
Our
own
checking
account
we're
not
depositing
it
into
a
checking
account
and
writing
checks.
H
Just
to
clarify,
I
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
something:
the
fund
balance
in
the
adjusted
boe
approved
fy
15
is
20
million,
but
we
requested
12.5
million.
How
much
do
we
believe
at
this
particular
point
now
we're
in
may,
and
we've
only
got
a
month
and
maybe
20
days
left
in
the
fiscal
year
school
fiscal
year?
S
Actually
undertaking
those
calculations
right
now
and
we
will
have
that
figure
for
you,
as
we
do
each
and
every
year
at
your
very
next
board
meeting.
H
Okay:
okay,
good!
Thank
you
very
much
and.
H
Oh,
we
get,
I
mean,
okay,
got
it
fair
enough
and
then
to
answer
kind
of
one
of
the
or
to
give
my
comments
relative
to
something
that
was
said
a
few
minutes
ago
from
miss
ritchie
we
have
dug
in,
and
we
found
savings
in
order
to
do
pva.
Pva
expansion
stem
you
know
all
of
these
wonderful
programs
for
our
children,
and
you
asked
the
question
of
you
know
how
have
we
done
that
over
the
last
seven
years?
T
There's
one
item
I'd
like
some
understanding
and
clarification
on,
and
that
is
the
subject
of
school
start
time
and
whether
or
not
there
are
funds
in
the
budget
for
that
and
to
what
extent
there
is
an
interest
in
our
school
system
in
spending
that
money
and
what
period
of
time.
T
I
wonder
if
I
could
get
some
understanding
from
myself
and
the
public
about
where
that
is
in
terms
of
a
priority
for
the
superintendent
and
the
school
board.
Thank
you,
mrs.
C
Burch
I'd
love
to
answer.
It
is
a
priority
for
us.
We
voted
on
it.
We
put
it
in
our
budget.
We
asked
for
money
in
our
transportation
category.
We
can't
spend
the
money
unless
it's
in
our
transportation
category.
The
county
executive
chose
not
to
give
us
the
money
in
our
transportation
category,
so
we
are
unable.
C
T
Mr
seknovics,
can
you
add
anything
to
that
as
a
taxpayer?
That's
something
that's
of
interest
to
me.
Will
I
see
school
start
times
in
my
lifetime.
A
H
H
He
has
spoken
on
the
dollars
that
he
can
put
where
they
where
they
are,
and
we
know
what
they
are
and
we're
going
to
get
the
14
state
categories.
But
we
need
to
be
able
to
articulate
that
very
in
a
very
educated
way
to
our
seven
county
council
members.
We
will
do
that
and
they
will
make
the
final
decision
associated
with
where
the
dollar
we
know
this
is.
This
is
a
priority
for
the
county
council.
H
They
they've
they've,
spoken
out
with
resolution
and
lots
of
other
things,
and
so
we
have
to
have
those
collaborative
conversations
and
ensure
that
they
understand
the
impact
of
not
doing
certain
things
they're,
smart,
gentlemen.
They
will
make
the
call
in
order
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
it
later.
This
year,.
A
S
Yes,
ma'am,
and
this
would
be
very
straightforward,
so
this
is
the
county
executive's
proposed
capital
budget
for
the
fiscal
year
2016
and
again,
just
simply
to
orientate
you
to
the
page.
It's
listed
in
the
priority
order
that
was
established
by
the
board
of
education
number
one
through
31..
S
Those
items
that
are
highlighted
in
blue
indicate
that
they
were,
they
were
in
fact
funded,
although
not
at
the
level
that
was
initially
requested
by
the
board
of
education.
Those
items
that
are
highlighted
in
white
are
an
exact
match.
So,
for
example,
the
board
of
education
requested
a
million
dollars
for
security
party
number
two,
that
is
a
matching
account
executive's
proposal
and
those
two
items
that
are
banded
in
red
indicate
that
they
did
not
receive
funding
at
all.
S
So
in
totality
for
the
board
of
education
direct
projects,
your
budget
request
was
for
162.8
million
dollars.
The
funding
level
for
board
of
ed
projects
contained
within
the
county
executive's
budget
is
151
million
dollars.
There's
an
additional
250
000
that
goes
to
the
department
of
public
works
to
assist
in
a
school
off-site
sidewalk
construction.
S
The
only
other
item
of
note
is
that,
as
you
recall,
from
the
state
of
maryland
of
that
151.4
million
dollars
in
total
that
is
allocated
for
the
benefit
of
the
board
of
education,
approximately
37.1
million
of
that
is
coming
from
the
state
of
maryland,
with
the
balance
coming
from
local
government
funding
and
with
that
overview,
madam
president,
I'll
entertain
any
questions
you
and
your
colleagues
might
have.
Mrs.
A
S
S
That
is
on
purpose.
Actually,
so
we
had
requested
funding
for
the
construction
of
two
gymnasium
editions
here
in
the
county.
The
state
of
maryland
did
not
approve
them
for
funding.
The
state
of
maryland
has
funding
constraints
as
well,
and
we
try
our
very
best
and
work
very
well,
quite
honestly,
with
the
county
government
to
leverage
the
state
money
as
much
as
possible
and
when
the
state
budget
did
not
include
funding
for
those
two
gymnasiums,
it
simply
made
no
sense
for
either
the
board
of
ed
or
the
county
to
put
county
dollars.
S
We
will
re-request
those
two
gymnasiums
again
from
the
state
next
year
and
hopefully
we
would
receive
funding
from
the
state
next
year
and
then
at
that
time
the
county
would
almost
certainly
swoop
in
and
provide
the
required
matching
funding
and.
S
That
would
be
for
design
funding
we
did
not
receive
the
state
has
to
concur
and
give
what
they
call
lp
local
planning
the
state.
S
B
S
The
county
government
very
meticulously
ensured
that
they
applied
their
dollars
exactly
where
they
needed
to
be
to
maximize
every
single
state
dollar
that
was
heading
towards
anne
arundel,
county
government.
B
I
mean
basically
it
the
state's
not
the
county,
isn't
going
to
put
say
yes
they're
going
to
do
it
if
the
state
hasn't
isn't
going
to
put
their
piece
of
it
in
because
they
we
can't
go
start
down
the
road
of
doing
something
and
then
the
state
come
through
and
say:
no
we're
not
going
to
do
that
and
now
we're
vested
because
we
we
do
get
everybody
likes
to
pretend
it's
50.
But
it's
not
really
50
again,
that's
a
whole
word
thing,
but
that's
not
that's,
not
the
county
government.
B
That's
and
the
reason
I
ask
is
because
then
here
some
place
isn't
there
about,
for
for
studies
for
crofton
or
a
13th
high
school
and
about
old
mill.
S
B
S
B
Of
those
schools
we
just
didn't
have
enough
money.
The
state
didn't
have
enough
money
to
go
through
that,
but
we
wouldn't
have
put
them
out
there.
If
we
didn't
sort
of,
I
mean
this
happened,
because
I
mean
that's
what
happened
sometimes
and
we
had
changes
and,
and
so
so
what
I'm
asking
is
that
we
have
not
put
forward
regarding
old
mill
and
any
any
additional
high
school.
We
haven't
put
that
information
to
the
state
and
said
you
know.
This
is
something
that
we're
looking
at
at
this
point.
S
The
old
mill
project
is
in
our
six-year
plan.
The
state
is
aware
of
that.
We
provided
them
data
and
information,
but
it
is
an
out
year.
So
we
have
to
telegraph
to
the
state
what
we
are
planning
on
doing.
Okay,
so
we
give
the
state
a
one-year
cip
and
that's
what's
acted
upon
every
year.
That's
what's
before
the
state
in
the
county
right
now.
We
also
do
tell
the
state
what
we
have
planned
in
those
next
five
years.
B
S
Old
mill
is
a
very
complex
project
and
in
their
estimation,
and
there's
a
lot
of
validity
to
it,
to
spend
some
upfront
planning
money
to
study,
not
only
the
old
mill
property
that
we
own,
but
possibly
other
properties
around
that
area
that
could
support
school
construction.
We
have
some
complexities.
Old
mill
is
in
the
flight
path
of
faa,
slash
maa,
maryland
aviation
authority.
So
doing
some
of
that
upfront
money.
Upfront
engineering
work
to
find
out
what
parts
of
the
property
can
be
built
on.
Are
there
any
environmentally
sensitive
areas?
S
S
So
this
would
allow
us
to
at
a
very
cursory
and
yet
smart
manner,
study
our
old
mill
property
and
other
properties
around
the
area,
so
that
when
we
do
get
to
the
point
of
doing
old
mill,
we've
already
done
a
lot
of
that
leg
work
and
we
don't
have
to
spin
our
wheels
going
down
a
path
that
may
not
be
viable
well.
B
And
I
just
want,
I
want
again
it's
again
for
clarity
and
to
let
people
understand
they
didn't
take
these
six
million
dollars
in
the
two
million,
and
I
don't
put
my
glasses
back
on.
They
didn't
take
those
two
monies
and
move
them
someplace
else.
Basically,
those
were
not
funded
by
the
state.
So
therefore,
the
county
didn't
put
their
pieces
in
yet
and
we'll
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
for
those.
S
Correct
that
money
wasn't
moved
to
some
place
else,
the
county
that
the
county
did
as
they
do
every
year,
an
excellent
job.
In
my
estimation,
technically
speaking,
they
did
an
excellent
job
with
that
capital
improvement
budget.
That's
before
you
to
make
sure
that
every
dollar
is
applied
as
efficiently
as
possible.
H
Ma'am,
thank
you.
I
would
like
to
just
start
with
thanking
our
fiduciary
authority
for
the
recommendation
of
151.4
million.
It's
not
perfect,
but
it's
it's
dollars
that
will
be
well
spent
from
a
capital
perspective
to
help
our
children,
and
so
I'm
very,
very
appreciative
of
getting
over
150
million
dollars
for,
for
our
kids,
at
least
the
recommendation
from
the
county
executive
relative
to
the
local
planning
piece
of
george
cromwell.
Can
you
just
explain
quickly?
H
S
I
can't
speak
for
the
state,
but
if
you
allow
me
to
speculate,
I
believe
it's
because
george
cromwell
is
is
a
school,
that's
under
capacity.
The
others
are
over
capacity,
so
possibly
that
went
into
the
calculus
of
the
state
when
they're
looking
at
prioritizing
certain
things.
But
again,
I
would
fully
suspect
that
the
sport
of
ed
would
re-advocate
for
george
cromwell
next
year.
S
The
state
has
spending
affordability
limits,
just
like
the
county
government
does
and
they
try
to
fit
the
projects
into
their
spending,
affordability
models.
And,
ultimately
you
know
not
everything
will
fit
inside
of
the
model,
so
they
do
have.
They
have
some
sort
of
internal
prioritization
algorithm.
We
don't
know
what
that
is
all
the
time.
We
don't
get
to
see
that,
but
I
do
know
one
of
the
factors
that
everyone
has
to
consider
is
cromwell's
under
capacity
and
that
might
have
been
it.
H
So
can
we
maybe
have
a
conversation
with
dr
lever
to
understand
if
that
is
in
fact
the
reason
why?
Because
I
think
that
also
obviously
needs
to
go
in
our
mgt
study
when
we
redo
that,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
the
folks
that
are
doing
our
mgt
study
are
thinking
about
those
kinds
of
things,
because
it's
going
to
impact,
you
know
our
ranking
and
so
forth
of
schools
as
we
go
forward.
Is
that
fair.
H
S
H
Okay
and
then
for
priorities,
1
6,
9
and
10
under
the
capital
budget,
those
are
less
than
what
we
requested
so
kind
of
like
what
we
talked
about
with
respect
to
our
a
board
of
ed
requests
versus
what
we
were,
what
the
county
executive
has
proposed.
Can
we
understand
what
those
priorities
are
of
what
we
are
going
to
go
out,
what
we
would
go
out
and
do
with
the
750
for
750k,
for
example,
for
priority
one
when
we
requested
one
million?
H
That
means
250
000
is
something
we're
not
going
to
have
under
the
proposed
budget
from
the
county
executive
so
that
250
000.
What
are
we
not
going
to
do?
That's
the
level
of
information
that
will
be
very
helpful
to
me
as
a
board
member
when
I'm
having
the
conversations
with
what
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
do
relative
to
health
and
safety
in
2016..
A
C
First,
I
want
to
go
on
record
saying
that
I'm
disappointed
there's
no
playground
money,
because
I
think
that
it's
really
atrocious
that
we
don't
play
for
pay
for
replacement
playgrounds
at
our
schools
and
that
then
there's
sort
of
an
inequity
for
schools
that
can
afford
to
pay
for
playgrounds
and
schools
that
don't.
I
think
that
should
be
our
responsibility.
C
C
C
C
S
S
S
There's
the
the
schools
you
mentioned
are
schools
that
we've
already
that
we've
done
feasibility
studies,
for,
I
believe
so
are
you
talking.
S
C
Planning
and
construction
funds
in
the
out
years
and
they're
the
only
schools
that
do,
but
you
know
tyler
heights
does
not,
whereas
I
think
we've
all
mentioned
that
as
a
as
we
know,
it's
a
priority
and
it
does
not
have
any
funding.
Hillsmere
does
not,
but
old
mill
does.
So
if,
if
the
thought
was
that
we
should
wait
till
the
mgt
study,
I'm
just
I'm
just
a
little
unclear
as
to
why
some
schools
get
to
be
in
the
plan
and
other
schools.
C
A
S
A
A
M
H
Mr
jackson,
yes
ma'am-
I
just
want
to
quickly
highlight
that
so
it
doesn't
get
lost
within
these
6.1
to
6.4
is
georgetown
east
elementary
school,
but
it's
not
only
going
to
be
the
the
kindergarten
edition.
It
also
includes
the
health
suite
security,
the
health
suite
and
the
security
entrance
and
office
suite.
So
you
know
it's
good
to
see
that
that
three
million
dollar
addition
is
going
to
move
forward
very
quickly.
Thank
you.
A
Before
we
adjourn

back
