Good
morning,
I
am
Sally
Egan
assistant
superintendent
for
student
support
services
and
I
am
joined
this
morning
by
Ryan
Vogler,
director
of
student
services
and
Karen
Sisco,
who
is
the
director
of
nursing
for
the
county's
Department
of
Health
Bureau
of
school
health
and
support.
We
are
pleased
to
be
here
this
morning
for
this
morning's
recognition.
Before
we
begin,
we
would
like
to
ask
members
of
the
board
and
dr.
our
Lata
to
come
forward.
C
Members
of
the
board
and
dr.
Earle
at
OU
national
school
nurse
day
will
take
place
a
week
from
today.
So
it
is
fitting
this
morning
that
we
take
a
few
minutes
to
recognize
the
incredible
partnership
between
our
school
system
and
the
Department
of
Health
that
provides
nurses
and
nursing
assistants
to
care
for
more
than
82,000
students.
We
serve
every
day.
As
you
know,
we,
along
with
our
students
and
parents
who
have
grown
to
rely
on
and
Trust
the
expertise
at
schools,
health
staff
bring
every
single
day.
C
School
nurses
and
health
assistants
are
about
far
more
than
ensuring
medical
doses
are
administered
and
band-aids
are
applied.
There
are
literally
critical
lifelines
for
many
students
who
simply
could
not
attend
school
without
the
services
they
provide.
We
are
fortunate
today
to
have
with
us
two
outstanding
representatives
of
this
amazing
cadre
of
professionals
and
I'd
like
to
ask
Karen
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
them.
D
D
Besides
many
other
for
these
students,
she
works
very
closely
with
family
and
health
care
providers
and
students
with
complex
medical
conditions.
Kate
has
recognized
the
communication
challenges
with
spanish-speaking
families
when
relaying
health
information
and
to
use
this
on
a
daily
basis,
the
school's
bilingual
facilitator
and
anyone
else
who
can
help
her
relay
this
health
in
from
kate
has
an.
Let
me
give
you
two
examples
of
kids
that
she's
worked
with
kate
has
a
student
who
was
uninsured,
who
needed
a
liver
transplant
and
kate
was
able
to
get
them
a
liver
transplant.
D
She
has
been
employed
with
us
for
over
17
years
and
she
has
served
in
the
health
assistant
in
elementary
middle
and
high
schools
she's
an
exemplary
health
assistant,
which
is
a
true
team
player
whose
action
supports
go
health
mission
everyday
by
performing
her
assigned
duties
efficiently,
while
providing
outstanding
level
of
care.
Chris
has
the
ability
to
communicate
effectively
with
students
of
all
ages,
staff,
members
and
family.
She
has
a
may
awake
may
a
way
of
making
everyone
feel
valued
and
seen
her
actions.
D
F
Good
morning,
across
our
school
system,
we
talk
every
day
about
the
importance
of
relationships
and
kateandchris,
not
only
believe
in
the
power
of
relationships,
but
they
show
it
in
everything
that
they
do
every
day.
They
have
incredible
bonds
with
students
and
their
parents,
and
guardians
and
adeptly
handle
both
routine
and
emergency
situations.
With
grace
and
skill
as
Kate
and
Chris
come
forward
today,
please
join
us
in
thanking
them
and
the
hundreds
of
colleagues
in
the
Bureau
of
school
health
they
represent
for
the
incredible
work
they
do
on
behalf
of
our
students
every
day.
A
And
I
just
want
to
give
an
added
shout
out
to
all
of
our
school
nurses.
They
do
amazing
things.
They
were
very
patient
with
my
daughter
in
elementary
school,
where
she
went
in
often
and
said.
My
head
hurts
coz
the
wind
blew
my
hair
and
so
the
nurses
we
gave
her
a
nice
present
at
the
end
of
the
year
to
the
nurse.
For
what
being
so,
that's
so
good
with
her.
So
we
are
very
grateful
for
all
their
hard
work.
So
item
2.06
is
educator
of
the
month.
Mr.
Reinhart
I
think.
G
Chef's
clink
shares
with
students
in
administrate,
oh
there's
so
much
more
chef's
clink
shares
with
students
and
administrators.
What
has
been
successful
and
unsuccessful
in
the
past,
so
that
there
is
clarity
at
every
level
on
the.
Why,
behind
each
presentation
or
assignment
you
might
want
to
set
it's
a
lot,
it's
long.
Pam
is
just
as
attentive
to
the
personality
and
spirit
of
individual
students
as
she
is
to
the
class.
G
As
a
group,
she
utilizes
her
insight
of
learning
styles
to
ensure
student
comprehension
and
skill
at
the
industry
level,
as
well
as
how
the
culinary
education
experience
translates
into
other
areas.
In
the
words
of
one
of
her
colleagues,
it
is
so
inspiring
to
work
beside
a
teacher
that
sincerely
utilizes
her
experience
and
knowledge
to
launch
students
toward
their
goals
and
dreams.
In
the
past,
students
who
won
medals
and
awards
at
skills,
USA
competitions
return
to
share
their
winnings
with
their
instructor
on
a
visit
last
year
from
a
health
department,
inspector
I
know
them
well.
G
Chef's
clink
turned
the
entire
visit
into
an
impromptu
health
and
safety
lesson
for
her
students.
The
experience
reinforced
the
real-world.
What
why
and
how
of
keeping
operational
kitchens
ready
to
pass
Health
Department
inspections?
Pam's
integrity
is
best
described
by
her
priorities.
Her
students
first
attitude
is
the
foundation
of
her
unwavering
professionalism
both
in
and
out
of
the
classroom.
She
leads
her
students
by
matching
exciting
situations
with
a
calm
demeanor
with
compassion
and
clarity.
G
She
elevates
students
to
follow
her
path
with
a
customer-first
attitude
when
learning
in
a
service-oriented
environment,
she
knows
how
to
create
confident
future
professionals
by
demonstrating
the
power
of
positivity
chef,
Klink,
epitomizes,
the
career
technology,
education,
ideal
of
preparing
students
to
be
skilled
employees
and,
ultimately,
future

and
business
partners
with
Kat
South.
Over
the
past
five
years,
she
has
increased
the
student
enrollment
in
the
honors
culinary
program
by
a
119
percent.
She.
G
She
continually
works
to
establish
business
partnerships
with
local
restaurants
in
support
of
her
goal,
to
provide
opportunities
for
her
students
to
network
and
apply
classroom
skills
to
real-life
experiences.

She
knows
her
job

as
well
as
the
work
of
all
the
staff
members
in
the
building.
If
she
doesn't

the
answer
to
a
question,
she
knows
how
to
get
it.
There
has
never
been
attached

has
gone
above
and
beyond
the
call
of
a
volunteer
from
the
onset
of
his
relationship
with

began
his

over
350
members

several
stories
about
how
Mr

saw
a
need
amongst
monarchs,
tudents
families
or
school
leaders,
and
used
his
power
of
persuasion
and
community
relationships
to
provide
assistance
in

mr.
A
colic
not

used
his

to
classrooms
throughout

O'shea
captures.
Mr.
colics
dedication
to
monarch
global
in
a
few
simple
words,
there
is
nothing
he
won't
do
to
enable
our
staff
and
students
to
do
their
best.
This
dedication
to
excellence
has
been
present
in
mr.
A
colics
endeavors
to
create
and
foster
family
and
community
partnerships,
and
it
continues
to
be
present
in
his
drive

ensure
that
every
student
and
staff
member
at
monarch
global
academy,
feels
supported
by
the
parents
and
families
in
the
PTA
and
beyond.
Mr.
colic,
your
commitment
to
monarch
global
Academy
is
comparable
to
none.
We
thank
you
for
mobilizing
your
talents
and
skills
in
support
of
our
students,
teachers
and
staff.
I
want
to
also
point
out
that
mr.
A
A
P
See
some
students
from
South
River,
High
School
in
the
audience
and
I
just
what
intervention
that
mrs.,
Humber
and
I
had
a
chance
to
come
out
your
way
and
have
a
chat
with
the
International
Space
Station,
which
was
totally
awesome
and
I
confess
I
cancelled
my
own
class
that
day
so
I
could
participate
in
and
base
camp.
That's
it,
but
thanks
for
hosting
was
fantastic.
I
I
was
able
to
attend
the
swab
selections
and
even
though
it's
sad
to
go
Josie
ray
ishiwan,
so
she
will
be
here
next
year
and
I'm
very
excited
to
see
her
when
I've
known
her
for
a
year.
So
I
can
say
that
she's,
probably
one
of
the
most
qualified
people
I've
ever
seen
for
this,
for
this
position.
So
I'm
excited
for
her.
B
B
Two
nights
ago,
Monday
night,
and
there
were
about
thirty
students
who
were
awarded
a
large
sum
of
scholarships
and
I'll
say
it.
We
were
just
amazed
at
how
awesome
those
students
were
as
they
were
talking
about.
You
know
some
of
the
inventions
that
they
have,
and
you
know
some
students,
integrating
high-level
statistics
with
high
level
math
and
high
level
economics
and
I.
Just
sat
there
and
said
I
was
lucky:
I
got
two
gold
stars
for
attendance.
These
these
students
were
awesome
and,
as
I
shared
on
Monday
night,
I
think
our
future
is
very,
very
bright.
A
A
Everyone
should
have
the
chance
to
be
an
oompa-loompa
sometime
in
their
lives
and
then
I
heard
that
Glen
Burnie
jazz
band
play
at
one
of
our
libraries
and
this
Friday
night
at
Mead
high
school
they're
having
a
special
steel
drum
concert,
so
anyone
that
can
make
it
out
that
so
there's
just
amazing
variety
of
arts.
Things
going
on
all
over
our
County
last
was
last
weekend.
The
dates
blur
together,
the
several
of
us,
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
Darlington,
echos
fiftieth
anniversary.
A
If
you
have
not
been
to
early
Necco,
it
is
a
gym
of
the
school
system
where
we
provide
our
outdoor
education
and
it
was
a
gorgeous
day
and
it
was
great
to
get
out
there
and
see
all
the
things
they're
doing
in
all
day.
I
think
that
arlington
echo
has
more
volunteers
than
any
other
part
of
our
school
system,
because
people
love
to
be
there
working
on
hand,
and
so
that
was
a
great
opportunity
to
be
out
there
and
then
several
of
us
were
able
to
attend
the
Teacher
of
the
Year
banquet.
Q
Good
morning
board
a
couple
of
things:
we
have
our
elections
on
May
14th,
which
is
two
weeks
from
our

from
Monday,
we'll
be
electing
a
chair,
Vice,
Chair
and
secretary.
We'll
also
have
our
list
of
cluster
positions

or
so
pretty
close

R
Good
morning,
dr.
alotta
members
of
the
board
I'm
Leanne
Carmona
on
the
chair
of
the
C
CAC
we've
had
a
pretty
busy
year
this
year,
so
we
just
wanted
to
share
some
of
the
highlights.
We
started
off
in
the
fall
with
our
annual
special
education
resource,
fair.
We
had
over
40
different
community
groups
and
in
Rowan
County
staff
and
departments
on
hand
to
answer
questions
and
give
parents
information
about
the
special
education,
all
aspects
of
special
education
in
our
County.
R
That
was
a
great
event.
We
had
over
a
hundred
families.
We've
had
some
exciting
presentations.
This
year
we
had
dr.
Ross
green,
come
present
on
collaborative
and
proactive
solutions
to
behavior
challenges.
He
came
to
Annapolis
High
School.
We
had
over
180
community
members
attend.
We
did
this
in
collaboration
with
the
Department
of
Special
Education,
where
he
came
in
an
evening
and
then
professional
staff
development
was
also
offered
the
following
day
and
then
in
April
we
had
Rose
Bleacher
come
speak
about
the
twice
exceptional
child.
R
R
R
Last
year
we
received
over
1,100
responses,
which
is
a
pretty
good
response
rate.
Considering
people
don't
like
to
take
surveys
and
our
survey
comes
right
after
the
MSDE
survey.
So
it's
a
little
tricky
and
getting
the
word
out
on
that,
and
we
continue
to
maintain
our
si
CAC
website.
We
respond
to
inquiries
from
community
members
and
parents.
R
R
Commission
a
couple
of
concerns
we
just
wanted
to
share
or
continue
concern
about
staffing,
staffing
for
all
students,
and
it's
really
important
that
when
decisions
were
made
at
the
IEP
table
that
they're
based
off
of
the
unique
needs
of
children
and
not
off
of
staffing
limitations,
and
finally,
we
have
continued
concern
about
the
bus
length
travel
time
for
some
of
our
students
at
this
time.
The
longest
non-public
bus
ride
is
two
hours
and
50
minutes
and
the
longest
bus
ride
to
a
public
school
in
Anne.
Arundel
County
is
two
hours
and
forty
minutes.
R
A
That's
interested
in
learning
more
about
dyslexia,
dysgraphia
or
just
calculate
to
come
to
the
speaker
they're
having
next
week,
it'll
be
Tuesday
here
in
the
board
room
at
7
o'clock,
and
that
is
dyslexia
in
particulars
of
getting
a
lot
of
press
recently
and
people
are
wanting
to
learn
more
about
it,
and
this
would
be
an
excellent
opportunity
to
do
that.
But
thank
you
for
all.
You
do.
S
Steam
board
members:
this
is
my
last
board
meeting
and
I
very
I'm,
actually
sad,
because
I
presently
have
enjoyed
seeing
you
guys
once
a
month
around
I
will
still
come.
I
actually
very
much
enjoy
coming,
because
I
do
learn
so
much
about.
What's
going
on
in
the
school
system
and
I
also
get
to
see
the
wonderful
volunteer
awards
and
things
like
that,
I
do
tear
up
I
really.
Do
they
love
that
again,
we
encourage
that.
You
know
awarding
the
wonderful
work
our
parents
and
volunteers
do
so.
Thank
you
for
that.
S
So
on
to
PTA
matters,
we
would
like
to
introduce
our
new
board.
Our
president
will
be
Vanessa
Rivera.
Our
vice
president
is
route
Anya
quarrels
miles,
which
I
think
you
might
know
she
was
actually
volunteer
the
month.
I
think
the
month
of
January
Secretary
will
be
Lisa
short.
Our
treasurer
is
jihad.
Mendte
and
our
reflection
share
would
be
Lindsay
currents.
They
will
be
taking
over
at
the
beginning
of
June
and
will
start
all
school
related
matters
with
PTA
in
August.
S
I
would
like
to
thank
everybody
who
did
apply
and,
if
you're
still
interested
in
being
part
of
the
board
too,
please
contact
us
at
info
at
Anne
Arundel
Jonnie
PTA
org,
as
we
would
definitely
like
to
have
you
as
part
of
our
board.
Our
last
meeting
of
the
year
will
be
held
next
week,
May
18th
at
5:30.
S
I
know,
I
have
many
and
I
would
like
to
again
thank
everyone
for
all
the
support
you
have
given
me
this
year,
as
I
did
come
in
for
a
year
term,
but
it
was
a
wonderful
year
term
and
I
really
do
think
all
the
support
and
all
the
people
I've
met.
So
thank
you
again
and
I
hope,
I
see
you
around
I
might
be
in
the
back,
smiling
and
laughing
and
crying.
Thank
you.
A
So
I
do
have
a
something
to
insert
at
this
time
the
Maryland's
Maryland's
open
meeting
act
as
a
statue
that
requires
that
many
state
and
local
public
bodies
to
hold
their
meetings
in
public
to
give
the
public
adequate
notice
of
these
meetings
and
to
allow
the
public
to
inspect
meeting
minutes.
The
Act
also
permits
public
bodies
to
discuss
some
topics
confidentially
with
proper
documentation.
The
acts
central
goals
are
to
increase
the
public's
faith
in
government,
ensure
the
accountability
of
government
to
the
public
and
enhance
the
public's
ability
to
participate
effectively
in
our
democracy.
A
Members
of
public
bodies
are
supposed
to
be
familiar
with
the
acts
requirements
and
recent
legislation
has
increased
opportunities
for
training
under
this
law.
There
is
a
three
member
Open
Meetings
compliance
board,
which
issues
advisory
opinions
in
response
to
written
complaints
about
alleged
violations
of
the
Act.
Although
the
compliance
board
is
not
part
of
the
office
of
the
Attorney
General,
citizens
can
find
a
lot
of
excellent
and
detailed
information
about
the
law
on
the
Attorney
General's
website.
A
This
includes
copies
of
the
compliance
Board's
opinions,
while
the
opinions
of
the
compliance
board
are
only
advisory
and
has
no
andthe
authority
to
impose
penalties,
they
offer
guidance
to
help
public
officials
improve
their
Open
Meetings
practice.
Along
these
lines,
a
complaint
was
filed
with
the
compliance
board
in
late
January,
alleging
that
our
board
had
fallen
short
of
the
acts.
Procedural
requirements
with
respect
to
meeting
minutes
meetings
and
meeting
notices,
board
counsel
responded
on
our
behalf
and
explained
our
meeting
practices
and
procedures.
The
compliance
board
issued
an
opinion
on
April,
27th,
2018
and
by
law.
A
We
are
required
to
promptly
announce
the
outcome
to
the
public
and
offer
a
summary
of
the
opinion.
The
compliance
board
rejected
most
of
the
complaint.
They
found
that
our
written
minutes
comply
with
the
Act
that
our
closed
session
discussions
have
been
lawful
and
that
the
board's
meeting
notices
now
comply
with
the
Act.
The
compliance
board
also
committed
a
ACPs
for
providing
the
public
with
videotapes
of
its
meetings.
The
compliance
board
did
note
one
minor
violation
and
recommend
two
improvements.
A
Specifically,
they
found
that
when
we
revised
our
website
to
make
information
more
accessible
to
the
public,
some
wording
was
inadvertently
dropped
from
those
notices,
with
the
result
that
the
public
was
not
fully
informed
that
it
could
attend
meetings
at
which
the
board's
only
business
was
voting
to
close
the
session.
As
the
opinion
notes,
we
acknowledge
that
error
and
since
corrected
it.
A
In
addition,
the
clients
compliance
board
suggested
that
the
discussion
of
even
routine
administrative
matters
pertaining
to
our
policy
committee
should
be
discussed
in
open
session
rather
than
a
session
closed
under
the
administration
function,
exclusion
in
order
to
avoid
the
risk
of
a
more
substantive
policy
topic
getting
discussed
outside
of
the
public
meeting.
Finally,
the
opinion
noted
that
the
board
was
using
an
outdated
form
for
our
closing
statements
and
suggested
we
adopt
the
new
sample
form
on
the
open
meetings
act,
2
homepage,
which
has
been
formatted
to
better
guide
presiding
officers
on
making
the
necessary
disclosures.
A
We
have
done
so
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
full
opinion
can
be
found
on
the
AG's
website.
It's
listed
as
12
om,
CB
opinion
233
2018.
Please
know
that
this
board,
the
superintendent
and
the
staff
take
our
open
meetings
obligations
seriously.
We
are
proud
of
our
procedures
and
practices,
knowing
that
our
public
notices
web-based
content
and
video
services
support
an
open
inviting
an
accessible
forum
for
governing
the
school
system.
A
Okay,
the
meeting
is
called
back
in
session.
It's
now.
The
public
comment
portion
of
our
meeting.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
an
item
not
on
today's
agenda
may
offer
testimony
during
this
public
comment
portion
of
the
meeting
speakers
are
allotted
three
minutes
each
and
may
not
allocate
their
time
to
others.
A
tone
will
sound
when
time
has
expired.
The
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
meeting
student
specific
and
personnel
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
forum.
A
T
Hi
board
this
is
Josh
Mazur
I've
come
back
to
talk
about
the
HPV
vaccine
marketing
program.
That's
currently
going
on
at
state
schools.
I
first
want
to
thank
dr.
our
lotto,
because
I
know
you
got
the
letter
that
created
the
program
to
secretly
market
HPV
vaccine
to
11
and
12
year
olds
in
our
state.
School
classrooms
and
I
know
that
you
did
not
disseminate
that
information
in
our
County
in
our
school
system.
I
appreciate
it,
but
it
is
going
on
all
over
the
state.
T
What
we
have
going
on
is
the
Department
of
Health
has
accepted
almost
a
hundred
million
dollars
since
2012
to
engage
in
a
program
to
target
11
and
12
year
olds
in
state
school
rooms.
What
they
do
is
they
count
the
number
of
11
and
12
year
olds
divide
them
up
by
gender
and
district,
and
they
send
a
letter
to
each
superintendent
saying
please
use
this
trusted
information
to
market
the
HPV
vaccine,
in
terms
of
where
the
money
is
coming
from
dr.
T
Pete,
Doshi,
who's,
chair
of
pharmacovigilance
at
University
of
Maryland
and
also
the
assistant
editor
of
the
British
Medical
Journal,
writes
that
the
CDC
front
groups
that
are
providing
this
money.
What
they're
doing
is
they're
providing
one-sided
propaganda
they're
not
giving
objective
information
about
this
HPV
shot.
There
is
no
informed
consent
going
on
in
terms
of
this,
and
you
could
look
at
this
website.
Wwh
PV
is
STD
comm.
The
other
development
that's
happened
since
last
time.
T
I
presented,
is
that
the
US
Court
of
Federal
Claims
has
found
that
a
Maryland
resident
Christina
tarsal
of
Sparx
Maryland
Baltimore
County.
The
decision
was
handed
down
in
September
2017
and
just
made
public.
Recently,
the
US
Court
of
Federal
Claims
finds
that
Christina
tarsal
died
at
age
21
from
her
third
HPV
shot.
The
first
one
caused
her
arrhythmia.
The
first
arrhythmia
she
had
in
her
life
documented.
T
The
second
one
caused
another
arrhythmia
and
the
third
one
killed
her,
and
what
the
US
Court
of
Federal
Claims
says
is
that
the
preponderance
of
evidence
shows
that
the
HPV
shot
caused
her
death
and
that's
available.
Also
on
this
website,
you
can
read
the
court
case.
We
also
have
a
vigil,
which
is
a
vaccine
safety
monitoring
system.
We
have
something
called
veilleux's
in
Japan.
This
was
a
recommended
vaccine.
Up
until
2013
they
had
two
thousand
serious
adverse
effects.
T
They
called
public
hearings,
they
invited
stakeholders
on
both
sides
of
table
people
who
are
Pro
the
shot
and
against
the
shot,
and
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
vaccine
is
still
off
the
market.
It's
not
recommended
in
Japan
to
this
moment
and
no
one's
talking
about
a
public
crisis
of
under
vaccinated
people
in
Japan,
so
this
program
relies
on
inaccurate,
outdated
and
incomplete
information.
It's
deliberately
deceptive
and
deliberately
secretive,
and
in
my
personal
opinion,
I
just
want
to
put
a
little
editorial
comment
here
when
I
send
my
12
13
year-old
daughter
at
school.
T
U
V
Name
is
Peggy
Williams
I'm,
a
scientist
in
the
environmental
field
and
the
mother
of
two
boys
who
attend
middle
school.
My
sons
are
fully
vaccinated
both
had
the
typical
allergies,
eczema,
asthma
and
chronic
ear
infections,
which
we
all
take
to
be
normal.
These
days.
By
the
time
one
son
was
four,
he
was
diagnosed
with
an
autoimmune
disease,
juvenile
rheumatoid
arthritis,
fast
forward.
After
hearing
talk
about
the
HPV
vaccine,
I
started
doing
some
research,
research
into
vaccine
history
and
immune
response
and
realized
that
the
CDC's
bloated
vaccine
schedule
likely
contributed
to
my
children's
immune
dysregulation
conditions.
V
I
believe
that
vaccine
safety
studies
should
be
done
by
an
independent
body
not
tied
to
the
industry.
This
is
not
the
case.
Parents
should
then
have
the
right
to
consider
each
vaccine
on
its
own
merit
for
each
individual
child,
because
one-size-fits-all
medicine,
as
illustrated
by
the
death
of
Maryland's
Chris
tarsal,
is
deadly.
V
This
letter
was
written
to
be
deceptive
and
easily
could
be
misinterpreted
by
busy
parents
leading
them
to
think
that
as
a
school
mandated
vaccine
too.
Many
of
us
are
on
autopilot
wake
up,
and
please
see
that
the
CDC
has
an
incestuous
relationship
with
the
vaccine
manufacturers
and
that
there
is
a
potential
unethical
relationship
between
the
Maryland
Department
of
Health
and
the
pharmaceutical
industry,
which
is
now
actively
marketing
their
product.
The
HPV
vaccine
in
our
public
schools
directly
to
our
children
and
this
practice
must
stop.
Thank
you.
K
Hi
I'm
Barbara
guy
I'm,
the
solo
parent
of
a
son.
Fourth
grader
at
Hill's,
mirror
like
many
parents,
I
know
the
importance
of
a
good
education
and
I
sent
my
child
to
Montessori
School
until
he
was
5
years
old.
I
also
know
the
importance
of
being
part
of
a
community
teaching
the
sense
of
belonging
and
living
in
the
same
community
where
you
go
to
school,
being
able
to
walk
or
ride
a
bus
and
being
able
to
play
with
your
friends
outside
of
school.
K
We
were
living
in
the
city
of
Annapolis,
so
I
searched
and
bought
a
house
in
Hills
mare,
in
the
hopes
that
my
son
could
go
to
a
good
public
education
and
be
part
of
a
local
community
with
family
friends.
Well,
we
were
able
to
walk
to
school.
Our
past
experience
at
Hills
mare
had
been
less
than
desirable
and
had
negative
impact.
On
my
son
and
myself,
we
were
personally
had
two
very
challenging
years
under
the
previous
several
administrations,
which
caused
us
to
look
for
alternatives.
K
We
presented
the
monarch
as
a
hope
for
a
nurturing
PYP
education,
the
learning
environment
and
a
great
administration.
I,
don't
think.
I
was
alone
in
the
search
for
a
better
public
option,
as
80
children
left
hills
where
to
go
to
mana,
that's
more
than
20%
of
the
population.
Unfortunately,
due
to
startup
issues
along
with
challenges
at
monarch
and,
more
importantly,
my
concern
for
my
ability
to
get
my
child
to
and
from
school
safely,
caused
me
to
be
that
this
was
no
longer
a
workable
solution.
K
My
decision
to
come
back
to
Hills
mirror
was
largely
influenced
by
the
possibility
of
having
one
particular
teacher
that
teaches
in
fifth
grade
at
Hills
mayor
she's,
an
incredible
teacher
and
has
been
the
most
positive
influence
on
my
child
throughout
his
education.
Thus
far,
I
believe
that
I'm
speaking
for
the
majority
of
the
parents
that
are
currently
in
the
fourth
grade
class
at
Hills
mayor,
this
fifth
grade
teacher,
has
taught
our
children
reading
and
other
things
in
2nd
and
3rd
grade
and
now
she's
being
told
that
she's
losing
her
job.
K
Along
with
my
son's
current
4th
grade
teacher.
What
message
is
this?
Sending
our
kids?
These
kids
need
to
know
and
believe
that
they
do
matter.
These
kids
have
gone
through
three
administrations
in
four
years,
and
now
we'll
be
losing
a
nurturing
church
teacher
who
they
love
and
who
they
had
hoped
would
prepare
them
and
provide
them
a
positive
experience
and
leaving
elementary
to
go
to
middle
school.
K
This
inconsistency
that
these
kids
have
had
during
their
experiencing,
oh
okay,
I
asked
the
board
to
reevaluate
the
data
and
consider
bringing
back
the
fifth
grade
teacher
and
to
keep
the
three
fifth
grade
classes
at
Hills
in
there
to
enable
our
teachers
to
succeed.
I
feel
the
board
is
aware
that
class
size
in
one
school
is
not
always
the
same
as
class
size
in
another.
K
Please
help
us
to
show
the
powers
to
be
that
the
impact
that
cutting
this
teacher
will
have
on
our
children
in
fourth
grade,
as
well
as
the
bigger
impact
that
it
will
have
on
the
hill,
zamir
community
I.
Believe,
if
you
truly
look
in
the
situation,
you
will
agree
that
this
type
of
instability
these
children
have
experienced
over
the
past
four
years
is
destructive
and
harmful
to
their
development.
I.
Ask
that
you
reconsider
I.
Ask
that
you
further
support
your
the
current
administration
that
you've
put
in
place
as
it
is
working.
K
A
W
Morning,
my
name
is
Danielle
Fran's
mother
of
two
students
at
Hills
Mir
elementary
I
come
here
today
to
ask
the
board
to
reconsider,
with
the
reduction
of
two
teachers
at
our
school
next
year.
Hill's
mirror
has,
for
the
past
few
years,
been
fighting
toward
a
healthy
teacher-student
ratio.
It
helped
this
past
year
that
a
large
number
of
left
to
attend
the
new
monarch
Academy
in
Annapolis.
However,
now
we
are
paying
the
price
for
the
reduction
and
potentially
losing
to
teachers.
My
daughter
is
a
current
kindergartner
and
will
be
directly
affected
in
first
grade
next
year.
W
A
J
Mere
that
said,
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
the
strong
steps
you
have
taken
requesting
funding
for
over
150
new
teachers
and
I
know
we
all
are
a
bit
frustrated,
to
say
the
least,
with
the
budget
released
by
the
county
executive
yesterday,
which
many
of
us
on
this
side
of
the
table
plan
to
fight
and
other
venues.
I
also
understand
that
decisions
are
being
made
based
on
the
current
budget
and
projected
enrollment
numbers,
even
though
both
of
which
are
likely
to
change
in
the
coming
months.
J
J
J
Since
the
class
expanded
and
the
two
teachers
are
cut,
our
fifth
grade
will
have
two
classrooms
of
at
least
30
students
each
and
finally,
the
fact
that
we
will
be
losing
two
of
our
best
teachers
as
a
huge
factor
in
this
parents
are
just
as
worried
about
the
scenario
that
we
have
already
put
two
teachers
on
notice.
They
find
new
positions
and
then
in
August
numbers
show
that
Hills
mayor
can
keep
one
and
we
have
to
hire
a
new
teacher
which
circles
back
to
my
original
point.
J
That
Hills
mayor
needs
consistency,
and
so
the
removal
of
a
teacher
that
students
have
counted
on
for
years
only
to
have
a
new
teacher
replace
her
in
the
fall
is
simply
unacceptable,
and
that
is
why
I
ask
that
you
take
action
now
and
reconsidering
the
current
cut
of
two
teachers,
two
Hills
mirror
and
make
sure
our
children
have
the
level
of
education.
They
not
only
deserve,
but
have
a
right
to.
A
X
Good
morning,
all
my
name
is
Morgan
Brookman
and
I
am
the
president,
of
course,
from
south
/
high
school.
Many
of
us
are
involved
in
music
and
view
music
as
an
important
part
of
our
identity.
Some
of
us
have
been
a
music
program
since
elementary
school,
and
some
of
us
have
only
just
began
yet.
We
collectively
agree
that
music
is
our
language,
our
outlet
and
our
passion.
Many
of
the
students
here
today
intend
to
apply
to
and
attend
performing
arts
colleges
and
universities
to
pursue
musical
career
paths.
X
We
hope
to
have
more
opportunities
to
utilize
our
musicality
as
a
way
of
helping
others
in
and
beyond
our
own
community,
and
we
hope
to
expand
the
effect
of
music
departments
in
our
County
to
reach
students
everywhere
with
their
own
passions.
The
events
that
have
led
us
here
today
begin
with
the
loss
of
our
previous
choral
director,
miss
Lister,
who
had
to
resign
due
to
insufficient
pay
as
a
result
of
her
position
being
cut
to
part-time.
This
meant
that
the
students
were
introduced
to
an
entirely
new
director
this
year,
dr.
X
Kathleen
or
who
was
forced
to
rebuild
the
choral
department
in
miss
Lester's
absence.
We
received
news
last
week
that
her
position
is
to
be
cut
down
even
further
from
a
point-five
position
to
a
point
one
position
forcing
her
to
resign
from
the
school
as
well,
if
it
weren't
for
our
principal
mr.
Myers,
the
position
of
our
choral
director
would
have
been
given
to
another
teacher.
Yet
again
for
the
third
year
in
a
row,
performance-based
classes
specifically
chorus
have
a
different
expectation
for
the
teachers
than
normal
academic
based
classes.
X
Students
and
teachers
must
form
a
bond
stronger
than
those
that
result
from
normal
classroom.
Lessons
teaching
someone
how
to
sing
with
passion
and
love
connects
both
the
instructor
and
the
pupil
in
a
much
more
intimate
setting.
So
when
a
teacher
such
as
this
is
replaced,
this
trust-
and
this
respect
must
be
regained
over
a
period
of
many
weeks
and
often
months,
which
takes
away
from
valuable
class
time,
causing
the
choir
to
regress
even
further.
X
This
uncertainty
and
lack
of
trust
that
the
new
director
holds
makes
course
one
of
the
most
unreliable
classes
to
sign
up
for
causing
many
students
to
drop
the
class
altogether.
We
speak
to
you
today
in
hopes
of
bettering
every
school
within
this
county
and
fixing
the
problem
for
generations
of
dead,
kated
musicians
to
come
throughout
this
journey.
We
have
gained
a
great
deal
of
valuable
knowledge
and
we
are
passionate
about
making
a
change
to
our
school
and
to
our
community.
Thank
you.
Y
Hi,
my
name
is
grace
McWatters
and
I'm.
Also
a
choral
director
at
South
River
each
school
is
a
lot
of
the
set
number
of
teachers,
as
determined
by
the
county
budget
and
according
to
the
number
of
students
signed
up
for
the
courses
offered,
teachers
are
moved
around
and
repurposed,
meaning
that
if
there
is
a
smaller
concentration
of
students
with
a
particular
interest,
the
school
may
not
be
able
to
support
this
in
a
structured
classroom
setting.
However,
a
recent
amendment
to
policy
has
created
a
tense
atmosphere
within
our
music
department.
Y
If
the
mandatory
quantity
of
students
needed
for
a
course
is
increased,
the
only
two
faculty
members
of
South
River,
High,
School
music
department
will
face
hardships.
Such
increase
would
logically
decrease
the
number
of
courses
available,
for
there
would
be
too
many
students
trying
to
meet
the
needs
of
such
quantity
thinning
out
the
number
of
courses
overall.
This
has
resulted
in
such
concern
within
our
department,
faculty
and
students
alike.
Y
In
addition,
although
clubs
can
be
a
very
good
way
of
exploring
the
many
passions
within
the
school
students
with
rigorous
schedules
may
not
have
the
same
opportunities
to
be
involved.
Furthermore,
the
same
experiences
and
opportunities
are
not
available
to
students
solely
in
clubs,
specifically
in
regard
to
the
music
related
clubs.
Students
would
not
be
able
to
attend
all
County
and
Allstate
choir
or
festival,
which
are
programs
that
provide
incredible
experiences
for
all
students.
Y
Therefore,
students
who
do
not
or
cannot
attend
specialized
schools
such
as
PDA
or
Kat
South,
will
not
possess
all
the
opportunities
to
expand
their
interest
as
those
enrolled
in
classes.
Art
classes
such
as
music
and
other
artistic
courses
have
an
important
impact
on
the
development
and
of
academically
strong
individuals.
Y
However,
the
issue
of
school
staffing
extends
further
than
just
our
music
program,
often
classes
with
specific
interests.
Such
as
career
preparatory
classes
are
cut
along
with
music
programs
due
to
the
smaller
enrollment.
These
classes
draw
in
career
preparatory
classes,
offer
skills
that
can
give
students
insights
to
the
careers
that
they
want
to
pursue
and
give
a
head
start
into
their
future
here
to
share
her
experience
with
such
a
class
is
Ashley.
Thank
you.
O
My
name
is
Ashley
Rogers
and
I'm.
Fourth
born
of
five
kids.
Ever
since
my
older
brother
was
born,
my
parents
have
worked
in
a
family
business,
Rodgers
&,
Sons
wealth
service.
This
is
how
we
have
been
able
to
afford
everything
we
need.
The
business
is
a
huge
part
of
my
family's
life
as
without
it
we
wouldn't
be
where
we
are
today
to
help
run.
The
family
business
I
had
planned
to
take
a
business
management
class
next
year.
I
felt
I
would
gain
the
basic
knowledge
needed
to
run
a
small
company.
O
Z
Good
morning
my
name
is
chung-won
david
rowe,
recipient
of
the
2018
high
school
outstanding
student
achievers
for
artistic
achievements
within
south
of
a
high
school
as
principal
cellist,
oboist,
pianist,
baritone,
voice
and
composer.
I
hold
true
that
music
is
impactful
for
all
students
and
faculty
within
our
school.
During
our
renowned
Meza
period,
I
have
even
played
a
piano
and
cello
in
front
of
the
main
office
on
multiple
occasions,
where
students
and
teachers
alike
stop
to
listen
and
enjoy,
if
not
sing.
Z
Along
to
my
street,
like
performances,
the
smiles
I
see
on
these
peoples
faces
have
moved
me.
It
made
me
realize
that
members
of
our
school
have
a
great
interest
in
music,
although
they
might
not
have
means
to
take
the
courses
at
the
school.
This
has
not
stopped
the
multitudes
of
students
from
attending
the
rock
concerts
and
the
presidential
quartets
that
have
been
held
during
nest
in
past
years.
Z
Unfortunately,
in
years
past
I
have
seen
the
academic
crises
of
faculty
appropriation
take
place.
During
my
seventh
grade
year,
the
Chinese
courses
offered
in
middle
school
and
high
school
were
planned
to
be
cut
entirely
due
to
a
supposedly
of
participants
in
the
course.
However,
with
persevering
individuals
with
a
love
for
the
Chinese
language
and
culture,
we
were
able
to
keep
the
class
alive
today.
Z
Chinese
is
an
impactful
aspect
of
our
school
and
community,
spreading
our
influence
to
the
point
where
46
students
plan
to
take
Chinese
to
next
year,
a
significant
increase
in
comparison
with
a
12
that
registered
during
my
freshman
year.
This
dedication,
however,
is
not
unparalleled
in
the
music
department,
for
even
more
students
are
dedicated
to
music
and
plan
to
pursue
such
interest
further
in
the
future.
However,
due
to
current
policy,
the
music
department
is
once
again
stunned.
Thank
you.

Coming
from
singing
in
the
PVA
program
and
all
County
and
all
state
chorus,
I
was
more
advanced
than
a
lot
of
the
students
in
chorus,
because
some
of
the
students
in
my
class
had
never
taken
a
music
class.
Before
due
to
the
cut
time
position
and
the
shuffling
around
of
teachers,
there
was
no
music
theory
or
chorus
class.
That
was
my
level.
AA
Music
is
half
of
my
life
and
as
much
as
I
love,
music,
I,
didn't
love,
learning
the
same
theory
that
I
learned
in
sixth
grade,
both
again
in
ninth
and
tenth
grade,
simply
because
the
teachers
couldn't
afford
to
stay
at
South
River
and
create
new
classes.
One
of
our
teachers,
Miss
Lister,
tried
to
create
an
honors
chorus
and
a
more
advanced
theory
class.
Sadly,
this
didn't
happen
because
miss
Lister's
position
was
cut
to
half
time
and
she
had
to
leave
the
school.
Dr.
AA
Orr
has
also
tried
to
help
better
a
chorus
program,
but
with
an
increasing
number
of
students
and
a
decreasing
teaching
position,
our
school
might
never
get
these
other
classes.
Music
means
so
much
to
us
and
it's
an
incredible
form
of
self-expression.
It
shouldn't
be
cut
when
it
carries
such
a
profound
message.
Taylor
is
also
course
student
enrolled
at
South,
River,
good.
U
Morning,
I'm
Taylor,
Jones
I
came
in
to
Cornish
brand
new
and
didn't
really
know
anything
about
music
or
how
to
read
it.
I
was
also
brand
new
to
the
school,
so
I
didn't
know
anyone
there
so
far
being
in
cornis,
I
made
new
friends
and
I
know
how
to
read
some
of
the
music.
The
teacher
and
some
other
students
helped
me
with
it,
but
they
taught
me
a
lot.
They
taught
me
how
to
say
in
different
pitches
and
which
note
is
which
it's
been.
U
A
great
learning
experience
in
my
opinion,
I
would
hate
to
see
something
to
happen
either
to
the
teacher
or
have
our
schedule
change.
All
of
us
has
worked
so
hard
in
chorus
and
most
of
the
people
can
sing
really
well.
They
can
really
express
their
talent
and
not
hide
it.
In
conclusion,
I
just
wanted
to
share
what
chorus
have
done
to
help
me
and
how
we
would
fight
to
get
the
music
department
as
important
as
all
the
other
classes.
AB
Hi,
my
name
is
Jeremiah
coven,
also
known
as
Jacobin
and
I
come
from
a
family
of
engineers,
doctors,
architects
and
computer
geeks.
So
it's
always
been
expected
of
me
to
grow
up
to
be
a
businessman,
err,
a
search
hint
but
I
took
my
first
choir
class
in
third
grade
and
I've
been
enrolled
in
choir
every
single
year.
Since
then,
not
only
had
the
music
program
been
my
only
outlet
through
a
lot
of
trying
times,
but
it
has
made
me
realize
how
much
of
an
impact
music
can
have
on
people
of
all
walks
of
life.
AB
I've
had
friends
who
have
come
into
choir,
brand-new
and
leave
for
college
to
become
a
music
teacher
or
even
begin
to
compose
their
own
music.
There
are
a
lot
of
kids
that
won't
be
exposed
to
the
opportunities
I've
had
learning
instruments
and
singing
and
honours
choirs.
Our
kids
need
music
in
their
lives
as
not
only
a
form
of
self-expression
but
a
form
of
stability
for
their
future.
Thank
you.

AC
AC
They
encouraged
me
to
join
chorus,
which
has
been
one
of
the
best
decisions
I
could
have
made,
because
I've
joined
a
universal
community
people
who
all
have
a
connection
to
me,
despite
the
fact
that
we've
never
met
before
music
is
a
universal
language.
It
connects
people
in
a
way
that
nothing
else
really
does.
It
gave
me
a
way
to
connect
with
my
peers.
It
gave
me
my
best
friends
and
it
gave
me
a
voice.
I
didn't
know.
AC
I
had
inside
me
before
that
it's
one
of
the
most
precious
things
in
the
world
to
me
and
I
cannot
express
to
you
how
heartbreaking
it
is.
The
kids
who
are
in
the
same
position
as
me
might
not
have
the
benefits
of
music
at
their
fingertips
in
a
few
years.
Music
can
be
life-changing
and
I
am
living
proof
of
that.
It's
important
it's
necessary
and
it
can
change
lives.
We
allow
it
to
thrive
in
our
schools.
That's
why
music
teachers
are
so
important.

them
unique
the
ability
for
our
young
adults
to
pursue
their
careers
early
and
set
themselves
on
the
track
to
personal
success
and
the
ability
for
us
to
be
supported
by
our
community
in
our
efforts
to
grow.
L
The
bottom
line
to
achieving
these
aims
is
that
we
need
to
have
more
teachers
within
our
school
and
in
conjunction,
the
minimum
class
sizes
need
to
be
lowered
so
that
we
can
have
more
unique
classes
that
fit
our
diverse
range
of
student
interests.
Now
that
we
have
demonstrated
the
importance
of
these
courses,
we
would
like
to
discuss
solutions.
A
possible
solution
could
be
found
in
county
taxes,
though
this
is
never
a
popular
solution.
Realistically,
we
cannot
raise
this
money
as
a
separate
entity
from
the
citizens
of
this
county.
L
Education
is
a
highly
important
expenditure,
as
the
education
of
our
children
directly
impacts
the
future
of
our
nation.
Here
in
Anne
Arundel
County,
we
have
a
tax
cap
that
we
are
not
reaching,
though
approximately
the
same
percentage
of
the
budget
is
allotted
towards
education
and
a
knurled
as
Howard
and
Montgomery.
These
counties
have
higher
taxes,
meaning
that
more
money
goes
towards
education.
L
Furthermore,
if
every
working
citizen
here
in
the
county
was
to
pay
as
little
as
five
dollars
towards
hiring
more
teachers,
the
mean
annual
salary
of
20
full-time
teachers
could
be
paid.
Taxes
may
not
be
the
optimal
solution,
but
us
as
dedicated
students,
passionate
about
the
enrichment
of
our
education,
are
determined
to
work
with
our
community
to
help
find
a
solution
and
make
Anna
Rundle
County
as
strong
as
we
can
be.
Thank
you.
G
You
about
a
president
I'd
like
to
thank
all
of
you
for
coming
out
and
supporting
music
as
a
student
musician
myself,
having
taken
three
music
classes.
My
senior
year
I
certainly
appreciate
the
value
music
in
our
schools.
Dr.
alato
for
clarification
does
the
does
the
board
make
decisions
about
staffing,
individual
departments
and
schools
No.
AE
Thank
you.
I
also
want
to.
Thank
you
guys.
It's
awesome,
be
here
and
I
have
a
couple
comments
also,
so
the
answer
miss
Reiner
is
know
that
staffing
is
distributed
to
the
principles
and
the
principles
make
final
decisions
about
how
many
they'll
have
in
the
math
department
or
the
music
department
or
tech
ed.
Those
decisions
are
made
on
a
year-to-year
basis
based
on
enrollment
and
student
requests.
So
this
is
not
something.
So
thank
you
for
the
clarification.
AE
It's
not
something
the
board
to
make
a
decision
on
about
supplying
more
staff
as
at
the
same
time,
directing
it
where
it
would
go
at
a
particular
school
I'm,
assuming
you
guys
have
sat
down
with
mr.
Myers
right,
which-
and
you
need
to
continue
to
do
that.
Right
advocate
there.
Mr.
Myers
and
his
team
will
make
the
final
decisions
about
where
they
distribute
staffing.
There
very
well
be
additional
staffing
that
could
go
out
to
the
high
schools
in
particular
areas
in
bits
and
pieces,
depending
on
the
ultimate
part
of
the
budget.
AE
One
of
the
comments
made
was
increasing
music
staffing.
This
board
moved
forward
a
budget
with
2.3
instrumental
music
teachers
in
its
budget
for
next
year.
We're
hoping
that
will
work
through
the
County
Council
hope
that
that
gets
funded,
but
this
board
did
add
some
some
budget
amount
for
2.3,
more
instrumental
music
teachers
in
our
school.
So
we
hope
to
will
continue
to
work
with
the
County
Council
move
forward.
With
that,
so
I
thought
you
guys
did
a
super
job.
Please
stay
in
touch
with
mr.
AE
AE
AF
Good
morning
my
name
is
Lyndon
when
I
live
in
Shadyside
and
this
morning,
I
dropped
off
registration
forms
for
my
son
at
Shadyside,
Elementary
School,
where
he
will
be
starting
kindergarten.
This
fall
I
did
that
with
a
lot
of
angst
and
not
a
lot
of
confidence.
The
staff
I've
interacted
with
at
Shadyside
elementary
school
have
been
lovely
and
I
have
heard
wonderful
things
about
the
teachers,
but
my
primary
interaction
with
the
school
system
and
the
school
board
have
been
less
than
ideal
in
connection
with
the
proposed
cell
tower.
AF
At
Shadyside
elementary
on
Monday
night,
we
had
a
community
meeting
with
the
cell
tower
company
milestone
communications
as
a
part
of
the
required
steps
of
this
process.
At
the
meeting
milestone,
representatives
provided
more
untruths
about
their
proposed
project
project
and
I
will
share
just
three
of
those
first,
a
community
member
asked,
if
milestone
intended
to
skip
the
required
community
meeting
and
they
replied.
AF
No,
although
in
their
permit
modification
application
submitted
February
of
this
year,
they
did
ask
to
skip
the
community
meeting
and
that
was
denied
by
Planning
and
Zoning,
with
a
one-page
explanation
of
why,
including
the
fact
that
they
felt
that
the
community
meeting
held
in
August
of
last
year
should
suffice.
Second,
another
community
member
asked
milestone
why
they
are
using
lime
in
the
construction
of
the
project
and
the
milestone
representative
Len
forcus
was
adamant
that
they
were
not.
AF
Why,
then,
does
their
drawing
specifications
show
that
they
will
be
using
200
to
400
pounds
per
1,000
square
feet?
Their
limit
of
disturbance
is
a
little
over
10,000
square
feet,
making
the
amount
of
lime
2,000
to
4,000
pounds
of
lime
in
direct
proximity
to
Wetlands,
lime,
changes,
the
chemistry
of
water
and
soil,
and
is
very
detrimental
to
wetlands
and
habitats.
Third,
a
community
member
asked
about
a
lot
consolidation
that
took
place
in
December,
signed
by
superintendent.
AF
Our
Lotto
and
board
president
Hummer
and
milestone
replied
that
necessary
the
lot
consolidation
to
shift
the
tower
north
on
the
site,
I
believe
at
the
previous
board
meeting,
or
maybe
the
one
before
that
superintendent,
our
lotto.
You
publicly
stated
that
the
lot
consolidation
was
for
tax
simplification
purposes
only.
AF
Why
are
you
continuing
to
allow
your
proposed
tenant
to
manipulate
the
system
and
violate
your
own
policies?
Why
is
there
misinformation
at
every
step
in
the
process?
This
is
supposed
to
be
an
open,
transparent
process,
and
it
has
been
nothing
close
to
that.
Jcps
has
failed
our
community
in
the
specific
project
I
ask
that
you
Riyaz
Ammon
your
deal
with
milestone
and
cancel
the
project
due
to
lack
of
transparency,
accountability
and
oversight.
A
AG
Planning
and
Zoning
has
denied
all
three
of
milestones,
waivers
of
process,
which
are
basically
called
modifications
and
one
of
which
was
to
have
a
public
meeting
so
Monday
night.
They
did
their
best
to
do
the
minimum
required
and
picked
a
place,
a
small
venue
with
little
parking.
You
should
know
that
the
Protel
tower
temporary
PTO
leadership
of
the
Shadyside
elementary
school
managed
to
turn
out
five
people,
which
was
a
record
high
for
them
further
dispelling
the
Pro
cell
tower
majority
myth
Baltimore,
Fox,
News,
TV
crew.
AG
Was
there
because
the
attempt
and
concern
to
place
cell
towers
at
elementary
schools
is
now
a
national
issue.
The
president
of
milestone,
led
forcus,
again
had
a
hard
time
answering
questions
with
accurate
facts,
but
two
items
conflict
with
some
of
your
public
statements
at
the
last
board
meeting
I
attended
one
that
mr.
forcas
confirmed
to
us
that
this
December,
lock
can
saw
was
necessary
for
milestones
proposed
location
of
the
tower
for
submission
to
the
county.
This
is
in
direct.
AG
Contradiction
to
the
statement
and
reason
dr.
alato
gave
to
the
public
when
he
shared
with
you
that
he
did
not
think
it
necessary
to
share
with
the
board
on
this
land
use
issue.
This
is
contrary
to
my
read
of
school
board
policy
concerning
authority
on
land-use
issues
which
states
it
be
brought
before
you
I
would
finish
by
addressing
Terry
Gillen
comment
to
me
last
time
that
I
was
here
that
I
was
grandstanding
when
I
brought
to
the
attention
that
this
that
he
was
taking
milestone
money
that
did
not
pass
the
ethics
community
smell
test.
AG
Most
recently,
we
ended
a
12
year
effort
to
stop
inappropriate
and
illegal
effort
to
develop
into
the
critical
areas
we
saved.
Two
hundred
acres
of
wooded
wetlands,
known
as
turtle
run
it's
scheduled
to
be
acquired
by
the
county.
As
the
National
Park
I
call
this
standing
up
and
I.
Do
it
every
day?
Is
an
unpaid
community
volunteer?
AE
AH
The
reality
is
you're
really
mandating
without
informed
consent,
a
real,
tangible,
measurable
radiation
that
does
not
exist
on
those
on
that
school
grounds.
Today,
in
fact,
parents
across
the
nation
are
trying
to
get
towers
removed
from
schools.
Just
in
the
news
this
week
is
a
story
about
a
school
where
this
year,
six
kids
got
cancer,
and
the
parents,
understandably,
are
fighting
really
hard
to
try
and
get
the
tower
removed
from
the
school
grounds.
AH
It's
really
a
human
rights
issue,
if
you
think
about
it,
because
the
kids
should
be
assured
100%
that
the
place
they
spend
their
days
every
day
is
a
hundred
percent
safe,
so
I'm
begging
you
to
please
do
something
about
this.
Now,
a
Shadyside
community
member
has
identified
an
alternate
site
that
achieves
everyone's
goals
and
it
respects
everyone's
concerns.
AH
AH
AH
AH
It
would
be
a
part
of
that
and
it's
I
don't
want
to
go
into
the
details
right
now
in
public,
but
I
think
definitely
worth
your
time
and
attention
so
we'll
follow
up,
and
if
anybody
else
is
interested
in
in
this,
what
I'm
talking
about
you
know,
I
just
I,
feel
like
the
school
board
said
you
have
opportunity
to
actually
do
something
and
the
whole
community
will
rejoice
in
and
support
your
your
support.
So
mister.
AI
T
AI
Of
those
various
environmental
victories
that
mr.
mr.
Shea
was
referencing,
some
of
those
must
have
involved
lawsuits.
Why
don't
you
all
go
file
a
lawsuit
because
you're
not
serving
your
constituents
by
coming
here
and
saying
the
same
thing
over
and
over
to
people
who
are
not
going
to
give
you
what
you
want
file
a
lawsuit.
AG

You,
madam
president,
I
know
that
there
will
be
some
celebratory
time
between
now
and
the
end
of
the
school
year,
but
one
individual
in
particular
and
I
know
there
are.
There
are
many
outstanding
educators
on
this
list
who
are
retiring
after
I,
couldn't
count
them
up,
but
we're
looking
at
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
years
of
service,
but
Ray
bibo
in
particular,
is
one
that
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
and
publicly
say
to
him.
Thank
you
he's
just
I,
don't
know
if
he's
in
here
today,
but
he's
just
a
class
act
and
he
will
be
missed.
A
And
I
will
do
the
same.
It's
always
a
little
bittersweet
to
see
the
resignation
list.
At
the
end,
when
we
see
these
career
educators
leaving
Lucia
Martin
is
another
one
that
will
be
sorely
missed
and
I
also
have
to
say
Nancy
Breslin,
who
has
the
special
ed
Department
in
Glen
Burnie
High
School,
has
spent
38
years
there
and
she
will
be
greatly
missed
as
well.
So
are
there
any
other
comments
from
the
board?
All
those
in
favor.
AJ
Morning,
I
think
we're
still
good
morning,
Jeanette
for
the
record
Jeanette
Ortiz
legislative
and
policy
council.
Today,
the
Division
of
Student
Support
Services
is
bringing
policy
G
ad
confidential
communication
reporting
of
at-risk
student
behavior
before
you
for
first
reading,
this
policy
was
last
revised
on
July
18th
2013.
The
updated
policy
and
regulation
have
been
revised
to
clarify
the
procedures
for
addressing
and
reporting
various
at-risk
student
behaviors,
including
suicidal
threats
and
gestures,
self-injurious
behaviors,
runaway
threat
and
actions,
requests
for
drug
and
alcohol,
counseling
requests
for
mental
health
support
and
requests
for
support
regarding
pregnancy.
AJ
A
AJ
AJ
Food
and
nutrition
services
are
bringing
policy
g,
aii
staff
wellness
before
you
for
first
reading.
This
policy
was
last
revised
on
July,
12,
2006,
the
updated
policy
and
regulations.
There
are
two
regulations
that
go
with.
The
policy
have
been
revised,
revised
to
align
with
federal
and
state
requirements
regarding
food
and
nutrition,
to
provide
guidance
on
employee
wellness
at
a
ACPs,
and
it
will
be
posted
on
our
website
for
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
I
have
staff
with
me
today
and
I'll.
Let
them
introduce
themselves
good.
A
Any
question
I
just
because
we're
talking
wellness,
we
had
like
a
huge
number
of
schools
that
were
just
recognized
for
renewing
their
wellness,
certifications
from
Maryland,
Green
Schools,
correct,
so
I
forget
how
many,
but
it
was
a
lot
it's
a
lot.
It
was
and
our
link
and
echo
is
now
a
sustainable
green
facility
so
which
is
fabulous
so
that's
not
with
this
policy,
but
I
thought
it
throw
it
in
there
while
we're
at
it.
So
are
there
any
board,
questions
or
comments
on
this
policy
so.
A
A
AK
On
the
yellow
sheet,
the
48
locations
we're
still
working
for
this
summer
coming
up,
so
that
was
our
exact
number
from
2017
for
2018
we're
there.
We
actually
have
even
a
few
more
so
we
continue
to
look
throughout
really
the
second
summer
ends.
We
start
looking
for
the
next
summer,
so
we'll
add
them
from
now
up
until
when
we
start
on
June
18th
and
we'll
continue
to
add,
if
we
get
them
throughout
the
summer.
Great.
AE
And
with
that,
in
relation
to
summer,
meals,
miss
Ricci
and
her
team
recently
were
awarded
the
US
Department
of
Agriculture
Silver
Award
for
turnip.
The
beet
and
I
say
that,
with
emphasis
for
the
summer
meals
program,
congratulations,
you
all
do
amazing
work
throughout
the
year
and
throughout
the
summer.
Thank
you.
A
AL
Madam
President,
if
I
might
just
add
one
comment,
I
think
you
know
one
of
the
biggest
things
we've
overlooked
during
this
discussion
is.
This
would
be
the
fourth
time
in
a
row.
The
miss
Rossi
has
brought
stable
pricing,
so
in
spite
of
rising
labor
costs,
benefit
costs,
commodity
cost
fuel
costs,
etc.
This
whole
beautiful
in
a
row
which
means
the
fifth
year
in
a
row
that
prices
will
remain
exactly
the
same
as
they
were
back
five
years
ago.
So
it's
an
amazing
feat
on
her
part.
AK
We
do
multiple
things.
We
actually
do
connect
Ed
messages
globally.
So
all
of
our
open
sites
are
free
to
anybody
to
218,
literally
just
walk
into
our
schoolhouse,
and
you
can
get
a
free
breakfast
or
lunch.
Some
do
breakfast,
not
all.
We
also
do
mobile
meals
and
we
target
those
specific
areas
and
those
principals,
so
they
can
send
out
messaging,
along
with
sending
out
flyers
to
the
students
that
are
on
those
bus
routes.
AK
So
what
we
do
is
we
take
the
AAC
PS
buses
and
we
have
two
vans
that
go
into
the
communities
and
serve
lunch
on
Monday
through
Thursday.
We
mark
it
through
rec
and
Parks,
so
most
of
their
programs
that
are
in
a
high
need
area
we're
able
to
fulfill
the
nutrition
need
or
their
healthy
meal
option

Chief
communications
officer
here
with
Teresa
Tudor,
to
bring
you
an
update
on
the
2018-19
school
calendar.
Just
by
way
of
review
in
November,
the
sport
approved
the
calendar
for
next

Classes
will
start
on
September
the
4th
and
end
on
the
14th
of
June,
which
falls
within
the
governor's
executive
order.
Easter
Spring
Break
was
reduced
to
three
days.
Parent-Teacher
conferences
were
reduced
from
three
to
two
days,
and
schools
will
be
open
on
the
MSC
conference
day.
AM
Past
June,
the
15th
without
a
waiver
from
the
state,
the
June
15th
date
remains
in
the
legislation
and
that
led
the
State
Board
to
interpret
the
legislation
to
mean
that
the
calendars
must
be
built
on
a
June
15th
closing
date.
So
the
makeup
days
at
least
three
have
to
be
built
into
the
calendar.
Again
by
June
15th
and
the
State
Board
recommends.
AM
Obviously
the
school
system
should
provide
notice
to
the
community
that
if
those
makeup
days
aren't
sufficient,
they
could
add
five
days.
So
what
does
that
mean?
For
us?
It
means
because
the
five
days
can't
be
put
into
the
school
year.
They
can't
be
used
to,
for
example,
extend
Easter,
Spring
Break
back
to
six
days,
add
more
inclement
weather
days
or
address
other
days
like
MCSA
Rosh
Hashanah
more
days
during
Thanksgiving
week.
AM
So
the
consideration
for
the
board
today
are
whether
to
formally
designate
the
week
of
June
17th
through
21st
as
conditional
snow
days
or
inclement
weather
days,
I
guess
to
leave
all
the
other
designations
in
place
as
you
adopted
them
on
November,
2nd,
and
then
you
could
also
have
conversation
about
choosing
another
day
in
lieu
of
Easter
Monday
that
you
may
wish
to
use
as
that
third
day.
But
when
we're
done
today,
there
has
to
be
three
inclement
weather
days
in
the
calendar
before
June
15.
A
So
currently,
well
we
have
Easter
Monday
as
a
possible
day
that
would
be
taken
away
for
an
inclement
weather
day.
Are
there
any
other
days
in
the
calendar
that
could
be
used
for
that
third
increment
weather
day,
besides
Easter
Monday,
so
rather
than
shortening
spring
break,
are
there
any
other
days
that
could
be
designated?
Yes?
There
are
there.
AN
Are
three
optional
days
that
we
have
really
only
one?
That's
a
good
solution.
The
other
two
would
be
November
21st,
which
is
the
third
which
is
the
Wednesday
before
Thanksgiving,
which
of
course,
we
know,
is
not
a
popular
for
either
teachers,
community
or
our
parents,
because
so
many
people
travel
for
that
day
and
April
18th
with
just
the
Thursday
of
a
spring
break.
You
could
remove
it
from
the
Monday
to
the
Thursday.
Our
suggestion
would
be
to
move
it
to
March
5th,
which
is
a
day
now.
AN
The
second
day
of
parents,
teacher
conferences
and
teachers
are
already
working
that
day.
We
would
just
open
it.
If
we
had
had
two
days
already
prior
to
March
5th,
then
we
would
open
on
March
5th
as
the
third
snow
day.
That
way,
you
could
protect
the
three
days
that
are
right
now,
inclement
weather
or
spring
break,
because
parents
could
go
ahead
and
plan
whatever
they
wanted
to
do,
as
well
as
teachers.
By
having
the
three
days,
we
can
then
use
the
five.
AN
If
we
have
more
than
more
than
that,
we
wouldn't
have
to
touch
our
Spring
Break
as
it
is
now.
We
could
not
utilize
the
five
until
we
have
used
that
Easter
Monday,
because
that's
what
we
have
in
our
calendar
as
a
third
day.
So
we,
if
we
want
to
preserve
Spring
Break,
we
need
to
move
that
third
day
to
be
able
to
utilize
our
additional
five.
AM
So,
for
example,
if
you
had
five
snow
days
next
year,
you
would
have
to
use
the
three
days
that
you've
built
in
which
means
that
schools
would
have
to
open
on
Easter
Monday
and
two
of
the
days
past
the
15th
of
June.
You
couldn't
use
three
days
past
the
15th
of
June
and
opted
not
to
use
Easter
Monday
the.
A
P
AN
AM
And
I
had
a
conversation
with
someone
at
MSD
this
week,
and
the
five
days
that
you
build
in
would
count
as
altering
your
calendar,
which
is
the
what
you
need
to
do
to
be
eligible
for
a
waiver.
So
if
we
build
in
the
three
the
coma
requires,
we
add
the
five
as
conditional,
which
is
altering
our
calendar
and
we
use
nine
to
use
your
example
right.
Then
we
would
be
eligible
for
a
waiver
and.
AE
And
this
is
also
not
direction
from
but
suggested
from
the
state,
superintendent,
so
I
believe
all
of
our
colleagues
around
the
state
will
be
adding
similar
language
to
their
calendars.
Just
giving
parents
a
heads
up
that
those
days
could
be
usurped
for
additional
snow
days.
It's
just
a
precautionary
measure
and
if
we're
for
open
information.
AI
A
A
Those
in
favor
of
designating
on
the
2018-2019
school
year
calendar
the
dates
of
June
17th
through
the
21st
2019
as
conditional
days
on
which
schools
would
be
open
for
students
should
the
need
arise
due
to
inclement
weather
closings
during
the
regular
school
year.
All
those
in

okay
motion
passes.

So
are
there
any
public
comments
on
this
amendment
on
this
amendment?
You
can
come
up
with
we're
gonna.
Do
the
overall
calendar
and
met
so
all
right,
so
all
those
in
favor
of
altering
the
2018
2019
school
year
calendar
to
reflect
March
5th
2019
as
a
conditional
date
on
which
schools
would
be
open
for
students
only
if
a
ACPs
has
already
used
three
or
more
inclement
weather
days.
Prior
to
that
date.
This
motion
would
also
remove
Easter
Monday
April
22nd

as
the

conditional
date.

passes.
A
AA
AO
Afternoon
board
good
to
see
you
I'm
day,
all
Heim,
you
all
know
me.
It
appears
that
we've
had
a
development,
a
negative
1
since
the
our
last
board
meeting
regarding
HB
679
Senate
bill
729.
That
is
now
law,
although
not
released
officially.
Yet
at
least
not
to
my
knowledge.
At
least.
It
appears
that
MSD
and
their
primary
counsel
may
interpret
the
new
law
so
narrowly
that
it
leaves
us
all
back
at
square
one.
AO
It
seems
as
though
they
are
intent
and
as
interpreting
a
lot
of
swallows,
schools
must
remain
and
their
unsustainably
tight
box
between
Labor
Day
and
June
15th,
with
three
snow
days
built
in
and
only
in
cases
of
an
apocalyptic
weather
winter
do
when
those
days
are
used
up.
Can
schools
use
the
extra
five
days
the
new
law
provides
for
the
benefit
of
the
audience
and
anyone
listening
at
home,
maybe
even
members
of
MSDE.
AO
This
was
not
the
intent
of
HB
679
Senate
bill
729,
nor
its
authors,
co-sponsors
supporters,
nor
of
those
like
myself,
who
bled
out
for
seven
months
fighting
for
what's
right,
nor
of
the
to
local
rabbis,
who
submitted
written
testimony,
mabe
and
all
the
others
who
submitted
oral
and
written
testimony,
I,
coordinated
and
collected
from
all
over
the
state.
The
intent
was
to
give
up
to
five
extra
school
days
passed.
You
think
June
15th
without
a
waiver
period,
no
strings,
no
games,
just
flexibility,
the
school
district
and
many
others
need
I
know
this
board.
AO
It's
council,
mabe
and
its
friends
on
other
board
state
wise
will
continue
to
do
all
that
you
can
to
get
the
flexibility
needed
to
craft,
common-sense
calendars
that
won't
force
intolerance
or
produce
a
calendar
that
forced
the
students
to
forego
any
meaningful
break
between
winter
break
and
the
end
of
the
school
year
and
I.
Thank
you
again
for
your
support.
A
AO
AO
N
N
Every
person
I've
talked
to
this
is
not
the
interpretation
that
that
they
went
forward
with
in
a
General
Assembly,
but
it
this
is
what
we
are
stuck
with.
So,
of
course,
we
need
to
advocate
together
going
forward
to
make
those
changes,
and
it's
another
way
that
we
can
collaborate
to
get
something
changed
for
the
good
of
our
students
and
teachers.
I
appreciate
the
hard
work
that
Dana's
put
in
to
get
things
rolling
and
our
friend
back
here,
Jeannette
Ortiz,
who
has
worked
tirelessly
to
figure
all
this
out.
N
Ultimately,
we
need
those
five
days
to
be
more
flexible
and
I.
Think
everyone
agrees
with
that
and
we
need
to
go
arm
in
arm
once
again
together
to
make
that
happen.
So
I
appreciate
the
the
work
people
have
done,
Thank,
You,
Theresa
and
Bob
for
their
hard
work
and
I
will
see
you
another
time,
I'm
sure
to
talk
about
this
issue.
N
P
A
N
A
AL
AL
We
had
the
pleasure
yesterday
of
attending
the
Account
Executives
unveiling
of
his
budget
recommendation
for
the
fiscal
year
2019,
both
operating
and
capital
that
initiated
at
11:00
a.m.
yesterday
morning
we're
just
a
few
minutes
past
12:00
today
this
afternoon,
so
we've
only
had
about
24
hours,
25
hours
to
actually
comb
through
the
recommendation.
So
what
we're
presenting
today
is
to
the
best
of
our
ability
we
believe
in
accurate
portrayal
of
the
budget,
as
as
it
exists
within
two
documents
that
we've
had
the
opportunity
to
review.
AL
If
it
is
okay
with
the
board,
we
intend
to
go
through
the
operating
budget
first
and
then
address
any
questions
or
clarifying
issues
that
might
need
to
be
dealt
with,
and
then
we
will
turn
the
page
and
move
into
the
capital
budget.
With
that
on
the
operating
budget,
then
the
one-page
summary
that
you
have
before
you,
let's
go
over
the
revenue
to
begin
with
and
the
way
the
page
is
actually
constructed.
AL
So
again,
on
the
revenue
side,
the
board's
request
was
for
2.1
million
dollars
of
recognized
federal
appropriation.
Authority
account
executives
recommendation
matches
that
on
a
stateside
unrestricted,
there
was
approximately
a
nine
point.
Five
four
million
dollar
increase
in
state
revenue
to
county
executives
off
recommendation
recognizes
that
appropriation
authority
as
well
the
county
from
the
county
government.
The
board's
budget
requested
approximately
a
fifty
point.
Eight
six
million
dollar
increase.
The
recommendation
from
the
county
executive
would
be
approximately
a
25
point:
a
million
dollar
increase.
AL
It
is
important
to
note
at
this
juncture
that
the
state
mantid
maintenance
of
effort
calculation
would
derive
approximately
a
twelve
point:
eight
million
dollar
minimum
contribution
to
remain
eligible
and
compliant
with
state
law.
So
the
funding
request
from
the
county
put
forward
by
the
county
executive
in
terms
of
his
recommendation
is
twelve
point.
Two
million
dollars
in
excess
of
maintenance
of
effort,
and
thus
the
budget
presented
would
be
compliant
with
the
state
MOA
mandate.
AL
Finally,
from
the
local
governmental
sources,
the
board
of
education
requested
a
six
hundred.
Ninety
million
dollar
preparation,
increased,
be
recognized,
and
that
was
matched
in
the
county
executives
budget,
as
was
the
utilization
utilization
of
our
fund
balance
that
we
did
not
request
an
increase
in,
and
the
county
executive
budget
concurs
with
that
under
restricted
side.
AL
You'll
see
that
the
vast
majority
districted
numbers
again
match
exactly
with
the
board's
request,
with
the
exception
of
the
minor
adjustment
for
the
internal
service,
health
care
fund,
and
that's
really
just
a
technical
amendment,
largely
due
to
some
of
the
items
below
that
are
not
funded
for
various
reasons.
So,
let's
go
over
to
the
expense
side
of
it
on
the
expense
side
of
it.
AL
Naturally,
that
is
all
subject
to
negotiated
agreements
and
finalization
of
the
the
bargaining
agreements
on
the
employers
share
of
healthcare.
The
Board
of
Education
had
asked
for
a
four
million
dollar
permanent
contribution.
The
resulting
recommendation
from
a
superintendent
is
three
million
dollars.
AL
We
are
very
comfortable
for
that
and
in
fact
had
that
conversation
with
the
county
is,
you
know:
we've
been
very
aggressive
in
accumulating
fund
balance
and
going
through
other
cost-saving
strategies
etc
to
shore
up
the
healthcare
fund,
and
with
that
we
were
able
to
take
a
minor
reduction
in
that
expenditure,
which
would
allow
those
revenues
then
to
be
redeployed
elsewhere
within
the
budget.
So
that
does
not
give
us
any
pause
at
all
in
terms
of
a
contract,
school
and
charter.
AL
School
expansion,
that's
recommended
for
full
funding,
as
requested
by
the
board
exactly
for
the
next
series:
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
and
every
one
of
the
board's
requests,
we'll
cover
the
ones
that
that
are
recommended
for
funding
and
then
we'll
make
some
overview
comments
about
the
rest
of
them.
Specifically,
it
is
our
understanding
that
county
executives
budget
contains
the
full
funding
for
the
opening
of
the
Carrie
Whedon
pre-k
Center
in
South
County,
bringing
us
to
now
three
early
ed
centers
countywide,
that
was
for
15.9
positions
and
1.75
million
dollars.
AL
So
that
is
in
fact
a
match
with
a
with
the
board's
request,
as
is
the
recommendation
to
allowed
expansion
of
the
triple
e
program
into
the
Annapolis
cluster,
utilizing
12.5
FTEs
at
a
cost
of
1.25
million
dollars.
Again,
that
is
a
match
for
the
board's
budget.
The
county
executive
req
is
recommending
that
we
be
allowed
to
make
the
internal
accounting
adjustments
to
recognize
the
payroll
technician
in
human
resources
department
and
a
specialist
in
a
professional
growth
and
development
area.
Again,
that
is
at
no
net
increase
in
expenditures.
AL
That's
again
a
in
accounting
adjustment
internally,
but
those
FTE
adjustments
would
be
allowed
to
transpire.
The
board's
request
was
for
5.8
psychologists
and
8.0
social
workers.
The
recommendation
put
forward
by
the
county
executive
would
fully
fund
2.0
psychologists
of
that
request
at
a
cost
of
two
two
hundred
twenty
six
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
in
terms
of
special
education,
staffing
for
enrollment
growth.
Request
from
the
board
was
for
thirteen
positions
at
a
cost
of
just
in
excess
of
1
million
dollars.
AL
The
recommendation
the
budget
documents
reflect
a
6.0
FTE
addition
to
the
special
education
ranks
at
a
cost
of
two
hundred.
Fifty
two
thousand
dollars
in
terms
of
teachers
for
class
size
reduction,
the
board's
request
was
for
45.0
educators
in
that
category,
at
a
cost
of
just
under
three
point:
400
million
dollars.
The
budget
put
forth
by
the
county
executive
has
44
of
those
positions
funded
at
a
cost
of
three
point:
three:
five
million
dollars
approximately
and
finally,
in
the
fiber
ring
expansion.
AL
The
board's
requested
a
1
million
dollars
increment
for
the
last
installment
of
the
fiber
ring
build-out
an
expansion
program.
The
multi-year
program
did
you
recall
mr.
Lyons
and
others
spoke
to
just
recently,
and
that
was
in
fact
fully
funded.
So,
on
the
unrestricted
side,
the
original
request
from
the
board
was
for
290
and
a
half
positions
at
a
cost
of
60
point
1
million
dollars
on
the
unrestricted
side.
AL
The
recommendations
put
forward
by
the
county
executives
office
would
have
81.4
of
those
des
authorized
with
revenue
of
thirty
five
point:
two:
five
million
dollars
to
support
those
expenditures
on
the
restricted
side,
which
is
the
restricted
grants,
internal
service
fund
for
healthcare,
special
revenue
fund
and
a
County
fund
for
the
non-recurring
healthcare
costs.
Again
that
technical
adjustment
in
the
one
internal
service
fund,
those
were
a
match
from
what
the
board
had
requested.
Therefore,
when
you
get
to
the
bottom
line,
all
in
the
board
had
or
requested
a
fifty
five
point.
AL
Two
million
dollar
aggregate
increase
from
all
sources,
which
would
have
resulted
in
a
four
point.
Seven
eight
percent
budget
increase
the
recommendation
put
forward
from
the
county
executives
office
again
netting.
All
sources
will
have
the
revenue
at
just
under
twenty
seven
million
dollars
and
specifically
twenty
six
million
nine
hundred
ninety
eight
thousand
and
nine
hundred
dollars,
and
that
is
a
year-over-year
two
point.
Three
four
percent
recommended
increase.
You
know
what
I
views
recommended
many
times.
That
is
in
fact
by
law
what
it
is.
It's
account
executives
recommended
budget
by
statute.
AL
Currently
that
is
slated
to
occur
on
the
14th
of
June,
leaving
one
day
to
spare,
should
deliberations
go
past
that
again,
I
on
purpose
skipped
all
the
other
line
items
in
the
board
of
education
spudge.
It
was
certainly
willing
to
discuss
those,
but
those
at
present
are
not
recommended
for
funding
to
the
best
of
our
ability
to
discern
the
documents
that
we've
had
the
ability
to
review
in
the
last
24
hours.
With
that,
we
will
turn
the
floor
over
to
you,
madam
president,
and
your
colleagues.
Mr.
B
You,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
again
as
always
for
this
chart
I
think
for
us
and
for
the
public
at
large.
This
makes
for
easy
consumption
of
changes
between
the
superintendent,
the
board,
the
board's,
the
County
Executive,
County,
Council,
etc.
So
so
thank
you
for
this,
and
certainly
for
the
the
verbal
overview
and
presentation
today.
B
I
just
had
one
question
that
was
specific
to
and
it's
just
to
understand
the
impact
the
employer
sheriff
healthcare
I,
certainly
understand
how
the
fixed
charges
recalculate
based
on
you,
know
the
twenty
four
point:
three
million
to
18
point,
eight
five
million
and
and
then
that
Delta
from
two
point,
nine
to
two
point:
two
million
or
two
point:
three
million
the
the
change.
However,
from
four
million
to
three
million
in
in
the
recommendation,
the
impact
of
that
and
and
I
do
apologize,
mrs.
B
Hummer
and
I
were
calculating
something
when
you
were
explaining
some
of
the
the
changes.
So
if
you
covered
this
I
apologize,
but
that
1
million
dollar
Delta
from
four
to
three,
the
the
impact
is
to
either
our
fund
balance
or
to
the
employee
share
what
what
would
be?
How
would
we
make
up
that
difference
so.
AL
Essentially,
it
will
be
the
fund
balance,
but
we
have
been
as
aggressive
as
possible
and
aggregating
the
fund
balance
to
shore
that
up
now,
the
the
trade-off
is,
albeit
the
four
or
two
three
million-
that's
a
permanent
revenue
line
into
the
fund.
So
we
have
made
some
permanent
adjustments
into
the
fund,
but
we've
also
aggregated
a
significant
amount
of
one-time
money.
Some
of
that
contributed
from
the
county.
Naturally
we're
going
through
that,
as
we
speak,
as
well
as
other
one-time
adjustments
that
we've
been
able
to
identify
and
budgetarily
move
over.
AL
As
you
recall,
when
we
closed
their
books
last
year,
we
purposely
set
aside
as
a
specific
amount
of
money
to
move
into
the
healthcare
fund
as
well,
so
because
of
some
of
those
partially
aggressive
and
partially
fortunate
provisions,
we've
been
able
to
build
up
the
healthcare
reserve
to
a
a
more
healthy
level
than
where
we
were
last
year,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we
feel
that
we're
on
solid
ground
to
ask
for
$1,000,000
less
in
the
current
year.
But
that
really
doesn't
go
away.
AL
B
So,
to
be
clear,
then
Masumi,
the
recommendation
in
this
line
item
stands
and-
and
we
come
back
with
a
budget
in
June
that
sticks
with
a
three
million
dollar
difference.
The
from
the
Board
of
Ed
request
to
what
the
county
council
ultimately
will
approve.
Assuming
this,
this
one
million
dollar
Delta
remains.
AL
A
P
Thank
you
for
your
summary
for
us.
Yesterday,
I
was
able
to
watch
the
budget
presentation
remotely
and
what
was
really
clear
and
exciting
to
me
is
that
this
county
really
has
become
the
best
place
to
live,
work
and
start
a
business,
as
evidenced
by
a
revenue
stream
that
we
were
seeing
and
anybody
who's
out
there.
P
We're
not
going
to
be
able
to
offer
our
substitute
teachers
a
pay
increase.
We
can't
get
any
more
school
counselors
we
had.
We
can't
provide
any
additional
IDI
autism
classroom
teachers
in
special
education.
We
aren't
going
to
have
any
teachers
for
enrollment
growth,
which
has
been
around
1700
a
year.
We
are,
are
not
going
to
be
able
to
add
those
instrumental
music
teachers
that
our
South
River
students
for
advocating
for
today
and
then
we've
already
talked
about
the
reduction
in
some
of
the
amounts
of
School
Psychologists
that
we
can
bring
on
board.
AL
M
AL
A
A
G
You,
madam
president,
not
only
does
this
budget
disregard
the
social
emotional
needs
of
our
population,
it
also
disregards
our
newest
newest
comers
to
our
country.
We
have
for
bilingual
facilitators
that
were
not
funded,
nor
the
30
English
language
acquisition
positions
that
we
requested.
We
have
to
come
to
the
reality
of
who
is
coming
to
our
County.
A
Are
there
any
other
board
questions
or
comments?
Is
there
any
public
comment?
Okay,
the
County
Council
will
be
having
public
hearings
on
the
budget
on
May
10th
and
at
the
arundel
Center
and
May
14th
at
North,
County
High
School
at
7
p.m.
and
members
of
the
community
are
encouraged
to
come
out
and
share
your
concerns
and
priorities
with
the
County
Council
at
those
times.
Thank
you
very
much.
AL
And
so,
as
with
the
operating
budget,
we've
had
a
scant
24
hours
to
comb
through
the
documents,
and
we
believe
that
this
is
an
accurate
portrayal
of
the
operate
of
the
capital
budget.
For
the
fiscal
year
2019,
the
request
from
the
Board
of
Education
amounted
to
216
million
dollars.
This
approval
proposed
approval
expenditure
would
allow
a
appropriation
Authority
budget
of
a
hundred
and
fifty-seven
point,
seven
million
dollars
on
the
left-hand
side.
The
way
this
chart
is
historically
constructed
is
we
call
it
the
the
red,
blue
and
white
chart
as
we'll
notice
red
to
the
left.
AL
The
decoder
says
that
projects
not
funded
within
Account
Executives
budget
gladly
and
happily
there
are
no
red
bars
on
the
chart.
So
there
are
no
line
items
that
were
completely
unfunded
within
the
county
executive's
budget,
the
ones
that
are
banded
in
blue,
depict
a
line
item
where
there
is
a
difference
between
what
the
Board
of
Education
requested
initially
and
what
is
currently
proposed,
with
an
Account
Executives
budget
and
we'll
go
through
those
in
detail
and
then
finally,
the
ones
that
are
banded
in
a
white
shading
are
an
exact
match.
AL
So,
for
example,
in
the
open
space
classroom,
enclosure
line
line
item
number
three,
where
the
Board
of
Education
asks
for
eight
million
dollars.
That,
in
fact,
is
fully
recommended
for
funding,
as
is
so,
we
will
start
from
the
top
in
terms
of
the
differentials
and
go
through
them
in
a
little
bit
of
detail
and
provide
some
commentary.
So,
for
example,
in
the
area
of
health
and
safety
19,
the
board's
request
is
for
a
million
dollars.
The
recommendation
is
for
$750,000.
AL
We
do
have
and
you'll
hear
this
more
than
one
time
we
do
have
some
fun
balance
from
prior
years
as
well
as
we
have
some
projects
prior
projects
that
have
come
in
with
good
pricing,
which
leaves
us
with
prior
year
monies
that
we
can
redeploy
to
the
current
year
because,
unlike
the
operating
budget,
where
the
dollars
expire,
extinguished
at
June,
30th
Capital
dollars
continue
to
live
in
perpetuity
into
it.
Our
appropriation
Authority
is
removed.
So
again,
we'll
say
this
on
a
number
of
these
lines.
AL
The
reduction
from
a
million
to
750,000
does
not
provide
us
any
pause.
We
will
be
able
to
discharge
everything
that
we
had
initially
intended
on.
Discharging
in
the
FY
19
year
in
this
security-related
upgrades
you'll
see
a
reduction
of
1.5
million
down
to
1
million
again.
This
does
not
give
us
pause
at
all,
because
it's
your
call.
The
County
Executive
recently
announced
a
very
robust
school
safety
security
initiative.
Those
dollars
reside
currently
in
the
county
side
of
budget.
AL
The
next
item
that
there
is
a
differential,
though,
is
line
item
six.
The
Board
of
Education
request
was
for
seven
million
dollars.
The
recommendation
is
for
four.
It
has
been
at
four
for
a
good
number
of
years,
so
it
is
consistent
with
prior
budgets.
That
is
one
that
historically,
has
always
continued
to
give
us
concern
the.
As
you
recall,
each
each
September.
AL
The
next
three
projects,
you'll
see,
do
in
fact
have
a
significant
differential
to
them
that
being
Edgewater
Kyler's
Heights
in
Richard,
Henry
Lee,
so
I'll
take
those
individually,
so
Edgewater
elementary
school
had
a
nineteen
point.
Seven
million
dollar
request
and
a
4.2
million
dollar
is
the
value
that
has
been
recommended
for
appropriation
towards
that
project.
Kyler
Heights,
request
from
the
board
was
for
eighteen
point:
two
million.
AL
The
proposed
funding
level
is
at
four
point:
four
million
and
for
Richard
Henry
Lee,
the
request
was
sixteen
million
nine
hundred
forty
five
thousand
and
a
recommended
funding
level
is
three
point
one
zero
one.
So
we
have
just
initiated
some
discussions
with
our
construction
managers
and
our
design
teams
and
our
in-house
personnel
in
this
Seema
Crawford's
office
to
be
able
to
sort
of
the
sec.
AL
What
that
means
for
these
construction
projects,
the
way
that
the
budgets
were
built
would
have
allowed
us
the
capacity
to
begin
construction
this
summer
on
all
three
projects
and
remain
fully
deployed
in
terms
of
aggressively
constructing
the
projects
for
all
twelve
months
of
the
year.
Historically,
when
we've
been
partially
funded
to
this
level,
the
approach
is
actually
to
work
the
project
backwards
instead
of
starting
July,
1
and
working
full-time
to
the
end,
we
actually
work
the
other
way
we
go
to
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
which
is
June
30th.
AL
We
identify
how
much
money
has
been
allocated
towards
the
project,
and
then
we
say
okay
well,
given
that
we
only
have
4.2
million
or
3.1
million,
etc,
how
many
continuous
production,
months
or
weeks
or
days
of
production
that
we
have
adequate
funding
for
so
we
will
work
that
clock
backwards
and
calculate
in
lieu
of
starting
the
summer.
Are
we
going
to
be
starting
on
February,
28th
or
March,
15th
or
April,
2nd
or,
however
much
the
cash
flow
will
allow?
AL
We
simply
it
is
absolutely
not
sound
construction
practice
by
any
way,
shape
or
form
to
start
the
project
in
July
or
August
work
until
October
November
shut
the
project
down,
leave
a
dormant
for
eight
or
nine
months
and
then
picked
a
project
up
in
July.
That's
simply
not
the
way
any
construction
activity
occurs,
so
I
simply
wanted
to
paint
a
picture
in
your
mind
that,
instead
of
starting
in
a
summer
working
forward,
we're
now
going
to
be
working
to
hone
in
the
starting
backward
state
to
when
we
can
break
ground
come
spring.
AL
AL
The
other
two
things
the
other
thing
to
observe
it
at
the
macro
level
and
again
this
is
very
preliminary,
but
I'll
put
this
out
there
for
all
three
of
those
projects
beginning
to
summer
and
following
through
in
that
aggressive
construction
schedule
that
the
board's
budget
would
have
contemplated
would
have
had
Edgewater
elementary
school
completing
in
December
of
2020.
It
now
preliminary
appears
that
our
project
would
complete
in
December
of
2021.
That
would
be
the
same
for
Cuyler
Heights.
The
completion
date
would
shift
from
December
2020
to
December
21
and
Richard.
AL
Henry
Lee
would
shift
from
July
of
2020
to
July
of
2021
and
I
said
preliminary
and
macro,
because
that
is
certainly
that
we've
not
been
able
to
dig
in
that
essentially
is
a
shift.
We
will
make
every
effort
we
possibly
can
to
begin
as
soon
as
we
can
and
also
to
be,
as
aggressive
as
we
possibly
can
to
try
and
improve
upon
those
dates.
AL
Tbd
the
more
information
to
be
forthcoming,
as
we
continue
our
analysis
and
as
we
continue
to
work
with
the
County
Council
to
see
if
the
funding
picture
can
improve
on
those
moving
forward
to
Crofton
line
item
21.
The
board's
request
was
for
fifty
four
point:
eight
million
dollars
that's
been
reduced
to
forty
seven
point:
four
million
dollars.
We
are
completely
comfortable
with
that
number.
In
fact,
we
communicated
that
number
to
the
county's
budget
office.
AL
We
are
not
reducing
the
cost
of
the
project,
so
we
cashflow
tease
projects
again,
we
know
to
a
fairly
high
degree
of
precision
how
much
cash
we
need
each
and
every
month
to
keep
these
projects
moving,
and
we
did
that
analysis
and
conveyed
that
to
the
county,
so
the
Delta
the
gap
between
two
fifty
four
point:
eight
million
and
a
forty
seven
point.
Four
million
you'll
see
later
in
this
document,
though,
isn't
a
reduction
that
appropriation
Authority
simply
is
being
relocated.
AL
So
it's
a
minor
reduction
in
the
FY
nineteen
year
with
a
dollar
for
dollar
commensurate
increase
in
2020.
It
doesn't
delay
the
impact
it
doesn't
inflate
a
project.
It
doesn't
delay
the
progress
of
the
work
out
in
the
field
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
so
that
again
gives
us
no
pause
line.
Item
22,
a
$200,000
reduction
in
health
room
modifications
again
we're
comfortable
with
that
shift
line.
Items
23
through
28
are
fully
funded,
as
recommended
by
the
board
of
education
line.
AL
Item
29
is
a
line
item
that
you'll
see
at
this
stage
depicts
a
reduction
of
funding
for
athletic
stadium
improvements
from
about
two
and
a
quarter
million
dollars
and
a
1.3
million
dollars.
But
there
is
a
significant
amount
of
grant
monies
that
have
come
about
as
a
result
of
General
Assembly
actions.
Those
need
to
be
fully
codified
need
a
fully
wash
through
the
budget
and
then
that
appropriation
authority
will
be
made
available
to
us
if
we're
the
beneficiary
of
it,
the
designee
as
a
recipient.
AL
In
one
case
it
is
the
county
government
and
the
county,
and
the
revenue
can
either
be
the
appropriation
authority
can
either
be
moved
to
the
board
or
it
can
reside
with
the
county
government,
and
then
we
simply
enter
into
an
MoU
with
them
to
discharge
that
project.
So
while
you
see
a
reduction
in
funding,
there
is
no
impact
in
terms
of
our
ability
to
deliver
the
projects
that
were
contemplated.
It's
just.
We
need
a
little
bit
of
time
for
some
of
these
funding
mechanics
to
play
out.
AL
AL
They
are
fully
funding
the
the
quarter
million
dollar,
continued
expansion
of
the
school
sidewalk
construction
initiative
and,
as
we
speak
today,
even
two
of
those
projects
are
underway
that
benefiting
Pasadena
Elementary
School
in
Benfield
elementary
school,
and
there
are
many
others
that
are
in
the
pipeline.
So
this
is
welcome
news
as
we
continue
to
build
out
the
sidewalk
and
and
biking
infrastructure
here
in
the
county
going
forward.
AL
If
you
turn
the
page,
then
so
this
is
strictly
the
FY
19
budget.
If
you
turn
the
page
to
the
landscape,
oriented
document
will
not
cover
the
reoccurring
portion
of
the
budget.
The
way
you
look
at
this
is
if
the
the
Board
of
Education
z--
budget
request,
a
formal
request,
is
in
a
black
ink
font
if
the
project
was
funded
but
funded
at
a
value
to
differed,
and
in
some
cases
that
could
be
less
some
cases.
That
could
be
more.
AL
If
there's
a
differential
in
the
funding
level,
it's
marked
in
a
blue
ink
font
and
if
it
is
fully
funded
at
the
exact
amount,
it
is
depicted
in
a
green
ink
font
and
it
is
not
recommended
for
funding
IE
0.
It's
recommended
in
a
red
font,
so
that's
the
decoding
way
of
going
through
this.
On
the
first
page,
you'll
see
our
recurring
pride,
Jax
and
again
you'll
see
some
reductions
in
categories.
AL
Some
full
funding
categories,
I've
already
gone
through
those
in
detail,
not
not
of
a
significant
amount
of
near-term
concern
absent
my
comments
on
the
back
maintenance
backlog
reduction
and
the
drive
and
lots.
If
you
go
into
the
major
capital
projects
on
the
front
on
the
bottom
section
of
that
first
page
you'll
see
that
they
are
either
exactly
funded
or
funded
at
a
differential
that
we're
comfortable
with
again
aligning
with
the
remarks.
Are
you
shoot
earlier?
AL
If
you
go
on
to
the
back
page
and
we'll
highlight
now
the
the
significant
differentials
in
that
you
see
that
the
first
five
projects
or
four
projects
are
fully
funded,
we've
already
discussed
Edgewater
Tyler
and
Richard
Henry
Lee
you'll,
see
when
you
get
down
to
Croft
in
the
dynamic
that
I
indicated
earlier.
So
while
the
appropriation
Authority
will
decrease
from
fifty
four
point,
eight
million
to
forty
seven
point:
four
million.
AL
If
you
go
to
the
twenty
column,
just
to
the
right
of
it,
you'll
see
that
our
request
for
next
year,
which
we
had
planned
on
being
it
seventeen
point,
O
million
will
increase
the
twenty
four
point.
Four
million.
So
again
it's
a
lot.
It's
a
mathematical
wash.
It
does
not
impact.
The
impacts,
though
do
occur
in
the
out
years
and
I'll
go
over
those
in
detail.
The
recommendation
that
was
put
forward
yesterday
at
the
county
executives
level
would
would
have
quarter,
filled,
Hills
mere
rippling
woods
and
West
Old
Mill
West
High
School.
AL
AL
If
you
continue
down
the
page
and
you
take
a
look
at
Mountain
Road
corridor,
Elementary
School
and
Old
Mill
middle
school,
South,
Mountain,
Road
corridor,
I'm,
sorry,
Mountain,
Road
corridor,
Elementary
School
will
slip
out
two
years
again.
We
the
board's
budget,
would
have
had
design
and
planning
and
preliminary
construction
an
activity
commencing
in
FY
2021,
as
contemplated
now
within
Account
Executives
budget.
AL
That
would
commence
in
FY
2023
and
the
remaining
projects
on
that
page
then
oval
middle
school,
south
cat,
North,
Old,
Mill,
high
school
West,
County
elementary
school
in
Old,
Mill
middle
school,
north
you'll,
see
are
no
longer
no
longer
in
the
planning
horizon,
so
they
simply
are
not
into
six-year
plan.
That
doesn't
mean
the
project's.
AL
Don't
exist,
they're,
just
not
in
a
6-year
planning
horizon
and
we're
obligated
again
to
put
together
a
one-year
CIP
and
a
five
out
year
exhibit
so
they've
been
pushed
out
past
2024,
which
is
the
end
of
the
formal
obligatory
CIP
planning
horizon
with
that
we'll
take
a
pause
and
turn
it
back
over
to
you
and
your
colleagues
Madam
President.
Mr.
B
Gilliland,
thank
you
again,
madam
president,
and
thank
you
for
this
presentation
out
just
ask
for
a
little
bit
of
latitude
in
in
this,
because
I
suspect,
as
we
get
into
the
fawn
and
discussion
about
CIP,
we'll
have
probably
a
much
more
extensive
conversation,
but
I
wanted
to
sort
of
understand
that
are
given
these
numbers
plus
the
unknown
impact.
I.
Guess
we'll
call
it
now
of
the
bill
that
passed
the
General
Assembly
that
changes
the
Board
of
Public
Works
and
the
IAC
component
and
so
forth.
B
At
what
point
will
that
oversight
charge
change
so
that
the
out
year
projects
have
to
go
through
the
new
processes
as
opposed
to
what
has
already
been
initially
approved
and
I?
Don't
know
if
it's
as
simple
as
saying
planning
and
design
feasibility
or
if
it's
somewhere
further
down
at
which
we
have
to
go
and
react.
Splain
our
capital
budget
vision
or
a
capital
program
vision,
I,
should
say
to
another
set
of
stakeholders.
Sure.
AL
That
new
structure
is
will
be
in
panel
of
July
of
2018,
so
this
budget
will
conclude
essentially
under
the
old
algorithm.
Your
necks
EIP,
the
one
that
we'll
be
presenting
for
FY
2020
will
be
the
capital
improvement
budget
that
will
that
will
go
through
the
new
system,
one
its
once.
It's
fully
stood
up
and
and
flushed
out
so.
B
For
instance,
and
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
questions
throughout
the
community
about
what
we're
preliminary
calling
openal
west
papa
john's
project,
so,
for
instance,
just
using
that
scenario,
you
know
we
we
have
funded
up
until
now.
You
know-
and
this
would
not
have
changed.
You
know
based
on
this,
this
proposed
budget
and
any
changes
that
were
made
by
the
county
executive
or
will
be
made
by
the
county
council,
but
all
Mill
West
has
received
zero
dollars
of
funding
to
date,
even
though
I
know
that
County
just
acquired
the
property
and
we're
going
through
those
changes.
AL
Again,
it's
simply
too
too
early
to
speculate
on
any
that,
because
we
really
don't
fully
know
the
construct
of
it.
I
mean
that
the
new
panel
even
hasn't
been
stood
up
yet
so
you
know
they
don't.
Even
we
don't
even
know
who
they
are.
What
the
rules
of
the
road
are,
that's
you
know,
etc.
So
I
I
will
tell
you,
though,
that
having
had
the
pleasure
of
serving
on
the
NOC
Commission,
they
put
forward
36
recommendations.
Mr.
AL
vice
president
and
overwhelmingly,
the
vast
majority
have
in
fact
been
codified
and
and
put
into
statute
the
intent
really
had
to
do
with
expediting
the
school
construction
process.
Eliminating
a
lot
of
the
bureaucracy
that
was
contained
in
the
old
school
construction
process
expediting
many
of
the
approvals.
AL
Wasn't
there
for
the
opening,
but
I've
been
here
for
most
of
the
IC
process
and
local
local
control,
local
board
prioritization
the
local
knowledge
in
terms
of
what
your
program
delivery,
what
type
of
construction
materials
work
best
in
your
area?
What
type
of
programs
you
put
in
place?
There
has
always
been
a
great
amount
of
deference
historically
through
that
time,
from
71
to
present
to
the
locals.
AL
The
NOC
Commission
strongly
echoed
that
they
wanted
it
to
continue
to
be
a
a
politicized,
locally
driven
process
and
again
I
I
would
fully
hope
that
the
new
interagency
Commission
honors
the
spirit
and
intent
not
just
of
the
past,
but
of
the
NOC
commission's
recommendations
that
was
codified
within
statute
just
recently.
Thank.
B
You
for
that
and
again
I,
ask
certainly
for
for
the
projects
that
remain
on
the
out
years
and
and
and
on
our
radar
and
our
overall
vision,
but
at
the
same
time
you
know
I
I
just
always
know
when
there's
a
substantial
change
like
that,
we've
already
committed
dollars
or
spent
dollars
in
in
many
cases
and
and
some
new
oversight
comes
into
play.
They
may
start
to
ask
questions
that
cause
us
to
have
to
do
a
lot
of
explaining
and
justification.
So
I
appreciate
your
answer.
Thank
you
for.
AL
And
will
appear
for
you,
as
we
always
have
in
the
month
of
September,
with
our
preliminary
FY
2020
recommendation.
We
certainly
hope
and
would
expect
that
between
July,
when
the
new
interagency
Commission
is
stood
up
and
September
about
a
time
we
appear
before
you
that
we
would
have
had
the
ability
to
interact
with
them
that
they
would
have
issued
new
guidance.
We've
been
able
to
digest
that
so
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
brief
you
and
be
positioned
to
brief
you
in
September
of
2018
much
better
than
we
are
this
afternoon.
AL
P
Just
had
a
question
on
the
three
elementary
schools
whose
funding
was
cut.
My
understanding
is
that
these
students
at
Edgewater
and
Tyler
Heights
can
remain
in
the
building.
So
if
you
are
able
to
say
start
construction
in
April,
then
you
could
go
ahead
and
start
construction
in
April.
While
these
students
are
still
in
the
building,
but
Richard
Henry
Lee
students
would
actually
have
to
be
moved
out
of
the
building
before
we
could
really
do
any
work.
Is
that
true?
So.
AL
Yes,
the
way
the
way
all
three
projects
are
contemplated
is
the
students
at
Edgewater
in
Tyler
Heights
would
remain
on
the
premises
while
we
renovated
and
expanded
to
building
around
them.
As
we've
as
you
well
know,
we've
done
successfully
many
many
many
times,
but
Richard
Henry
Lee,
simply
by
the
way
it's
configured
and
its
size
and
lack
of
space
on
a
property.
Those
youngsters
could
not
reside
within
that
building,
so
we
would
have
to
move
them
off
premises.
P
This
money,
we
obviously
can't
move
them
off
premises
for
September,
probably
can't
move
them
off
premises
over
winter
break
either.
If
you're
back
dating
the
money
and
you're
saying
oh,
we
can
start
a
project
in
March
or
April.
Are
we
really
going
to
start
a
project
like
that
and
move
those
kids
in
the
middle
of
the
school
year
or
are
we
gonna
really
just
wait
until
July
I?
Don't.
AL
Think
that's
been
fully
fleshed
out
yet
in
all
due
candor
again
I
mean
we've
got
a
lot.
We've
got
some
work.
We
have
to
do
with
our
designers
and
constructors.
We
have
to
talk
to
both
school
communities,
bring
a
recommendation
to
the
superintendent
and
and
receive
direction
on
that,
but
I
think
it's
just
preliminary
right
now,
a
little
bit
preliminary
to
say
this
early
afternoon
that
definitively
we
are
not
going
to
move
them
out
effective,
September,
December
or
the
following
September.
AL
AE
I'll,
add
to
that.
Thank
you
for
pointing
out
it.
As
we
we've
talked
many
times,
we
blended
these
three
elementary
schools
together
in
terms
of
talking
about
the
capital
budget
capital
improvements,
but
when
it
gets
right
down
to
the
work,
that's
got
to
be
done.
Richard
Henley
is
in
a
very
different
place
right.
It's
different
decisions
actually
made
because
we
do
have
to
move
those
students.
A
I'm
most
concerned,
looking
at
the
six
year
plan,
how
everything
is
being
bumped
a
couple
of
years
and
I
know
that
that
can
change
as
revenues,
County
and
changed
stuff.
But
I
would
hope
that
everyone's
in
the
community
and
what
would
really
speak
out
on
these
so
that
we
can
keep
these
on
track
with
the
old
mill
complex
that
everyone
is
very
excited
about.
A
Moving
some
of
these
zeroed
out
we're
extending
that
project
out
by
half
a
decade
based
on
this
and
so
I
hope
that
there
will
be
a
way
in
the
outgoing
years
that
we
can
include
more
so
that
we
can
keep
these
things
on
track
for
that
ten
year.
Plan
that
we
all
were
agreed
and
work
together
on
to
create
for
our
school
construction.
A
The
MGT
study
that
we
with
the
County
Council
and
Account
Executive
and
the
school
board,
if
all
agreed,
is
the
master
plan
that
we
would
follow
and
we
would
try
to
complete
those
projects
as
close
as
we
could
within
the
decade
and
so
I
hope
that
we
will
see
increased
revenues
coming
into
the
county
and
increase
allotment
to
the
school
system
so
that
we
can
get
those
things
on
track
to
meet.
That
decade.
Goal
sure.
AL
As
you
know,
the
the
county
on
the
county
side
there,
our
capital
debt,
affordability,
guidelines,
three
or
four,
very,
very
specific
ones,
so
their
entire
CIP
has
to
fit
within
those
constraints
at
a
capital,
debt,
affordability
models,
the
same
exact
thing
happens
at
the
state
level
as
well.
One
of
the
recommendations
and
I'll
go
back
to
the
comments
made.
A
AP
Good
afternoon,
everyone
I
am
Monique
Jackson
deputy
superintendent
for
student
and
school
support
with
me.
This
afternoon
is
dr.
McGill
ins,
executive,
director
of
the
office
of
equity
and
accelerated
student
achievement.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
discuss
some
of
the
initiatives
that
we
are
undertaking
to
elevate
all
students
eliminate
all
gaps
and
develop
climates
of
acceptance
and
inclusion.
AP
The
spirit
of
that
2005
agreement
has
continued
to
be
carried
out
throughout
through
the
work
of
the
Blue
Ribbon
Commission.
Our
newly
adopted
strategic
plan,
the
disproportionality
report,
the
district
203
initiative
on
equitable
practices,
which
includes
restorative
practices,
the
hiring
of
community
ambassadors
and
the
continuation
of
the
equity
Advisory
Committee,
formerly
known
as
the
OCR
committee
I,
would
now
like
to
turn
the
presentation
over
to
dr.
Gill
ins.
To
talk
about
some
of
the
specifics,
hello.
AQ
Our
Blue
Ribbon
Commission
on
equity
and
achievement
made
up
of
more
than
20
individuals
with
vast
experiences
dealing
with
the
many
facets
surrounding
achievement,
opportunity
and
discipline
gaps
both
inside
and
outside
of
our
school
system.
The
Commission
examined
issues
related
to
achievement
and
discipline
gaps
and
made
recommendations
for
our
school
system
to
follow
to
narrow
disparities
that
exist
among
student
groups.
The
Blue
Ribbon
Commission
made
eight
critical
recommendations
regarding
equity
and
achievement.
AQ
These
recommendations
manifested
themselves
through
initiatives
such
as
the
creation
of
advisories
at
the
secondary
level,
the
superintendent's
Teen
Advisory
Group,
and
the
inclusion
of
social
and
emotional
Learning
embedded
into
our
curriculum.
We
continue
to
create
and
enhance
partnerships
with
our
faced
faith-based
community
and
expand
mentoring
programs
through
partnerships
with
community
groups.
We
also
have
created
a
leadership
development
plan,
starting
from
teacher
leaders
to
building
the
capacity
of
principals.
Our
newly
adopted
strategic
plan
focuses
on
relationships,
rigor
and
readiness.
They
are
the
cornerstones
to
academic
achievement,
safe
and
orderly
environments
and
community
collaboration.
AQ
The
plans,
driving
values
all
means
all
ready,
set,
launch
and
sound
stewardship.
Further
supports
a
systemic
approach
to
equity.
School
discipline
also
continues
to
be
a
priority.
We
continue
to
annually
review
the
Code
of
Student
Conduct
and
are
providing
professional
development
on
proactive
approaches
to
addressing
behavioral
concerns.
More
recently,
the
Maryland
State
Department
of
Education
has
notified
local
school
district
of
its
expectation
first
schools
to
submit
and
implement
a
three-year
local
action
plan
for
reducing
and
eliminating
disproportionate
impacts
of
school
discipline.
AQ
The
goal
of
the
plan
which
we
will
submit
by
January
is
to
reduce
disproportionate
impacts
within
one
year
and
eliminate
them
within
three
years.
Our
work
to
address
discipline
issues
through
our
behavioral
positive
intervention
supports
initiatives
includes
the
implementation
of
a
range
of
restorative
practices
in
schools.
Those
efforts
which
are
being
led
by
the
division
of
alternative
education
focused
proactively
on
building
the
social-emotional
capacity
of
students
by
helping
them
learn
new
behaviors,
rather
than
simply
punishing
the
past
behaviors.
It
also
allows
individuals
to
understand
and
acknowledge
the
impact
of
their
behaviors
on
the
larger
community.
AQ
We
have
seen
positive
results
through
this
work,
and
the
board's
budget
request
contains
a
request
to
help
us
expand
this
effort.
Our
district
203
initiatives
set
the
expectation
that
every
a
ACPs
school
in
office
embraces
equitable
practices
and
provides
a
positive
welcoming
place
for
all
students,
families
and
employees
to
learn
and
grow.
AQ
This
book
offers
the
tools
for
having
conversations
about
equity
for
all
students,
and
this
book
also
offers
educators
a
comprehensive
model
for
evaluating
their
current
systems,
who
are
providing
a
blueprint
for
improvement.
As
you
can
see
on
the
text
on
of
me
on
the
PowerPoint,
it's
organized
by
equity
concerns
and
responsive
practices
that
promote
a
school
or
school
districts,
ability
to
address
each
of
those
effectively
to
advance
the
work
of
building
equity.
Each
school
is
assigned
in
equity
liaison
among
other
duties.
Eco
liaisons
advance
the
work
of
equitable
practices
at
their
school.
AQ
They
assist
in
analyzing
data
by
student
group
and
take
appropriate
action
to
ensure
the
school
improvement
plan
is
responsive,
supportive
and
equitable.
All
equally,
a
Zhaan's
deliver
professional
development
on
equitable
practices
for
their
staff.
On
the
four
designated
early
dismissal
days,
my
office
has
provided
and
continues
to
provide
district
203
profession,
development
for
various
central
office
departments
and
different
employee
groups
such
as
the
division
of
Human
Resources,
the
division
of
curriculum
and
instruction
bus
drivers,
secretaries
behavioral
specialists,
bilingual
facilitators,
etc.
AQ
Professional
development
on
building
equity
is
delivered
to
principals
each
month
and
schools
receive
an
equity
calendar
each
month.
That
includes
a
wide
range
of
resources
that
support
equitable
practices.
The
four
early
missile
days
the
board
has
built
into
the
calendar
over
the
last
several
years
are
used
exclusively
to
focus
on
eliminating
the
achievement
gap
or
attack
across
our
schools.
AQ
Employees
are
working
to
recognize
the
importance
of
showing
empathy
and
understanding
of
others,
perspectives,
use
awareness
of
diversity
to
generate
ideas
for
supports
services,
curriculum
and
projects
and
analyze
the
school
environment
for
evidence
that
educating
a
diverse
group
of
students
is
important
to
people
who
work
at
our
schools.
We
begin
each
learning
session
by
identifying
our
cultural
bubble.
A
cultural
bubble
consists
of
those
things
we
individually
believe
have
the
biggest
impact
on
our
lived
experience.
AQ
AQ
We
engage
in
discussions
of
how
our
individual
cultural
bubble
impacts,
how
we
interact
with
colleagues,
students
and
the
community.
This
dialogue
is
crucial
to
the
ongoing
work
of
identifying
implicit
bias.
Over
the
past
four
years,
we
have
held
the
unlocking
our
potential
conference
for
all
administrators
and
teacher
leaders.
The
purpose
of
the
conference
is
to
build
capacity
in
the
areas
of
leadership,
curriculum
instruction,
community
engagement
and
equitable
practices.
We
have
been
very
fortunate
to
have
leaders
in
the
field
of
equity,
such
as
the
author's
you
see
on
the
slide.
AQ
These
leaders
have
addressed
our
leaders
in
our
school
system
to
help
build
our
capacity.
The
link
between
our
schools
and
the
communities
they
serve
is
a
critical
one.
Our
community
ambassadors
are
essential
to
making
that
link
strong
community
ambassadors
are
currently
strategically
placed
in
three
high
schools,
Annapolis
Chesapeake
and
North
County,
and
we
have
plans
in
place
to
hire
more
ambassadors
to
assist
schools
in
the
future,
the
community
ambassadors
they
serve
as
liaisons
with
home
schools
and
communities.
AQ
Our
ambassadors
provide
crisis
management,
as
well
as
focus
on
improving
student
attendance,
creating
a
more
welcoming
environment
for
families
and
providing
information
and
resources,
as
we
have.
As
we
have
said
many
times,
our
equity
work
is
a
community
effort.
We
continue
to
grow
and
foster
partnerships
with
groups
such
as
fraternities
and
sororities,
and
the
United
Way
of
central
Maryland
through
a
variety
of
programs
that
benefit
our
students,
both
directly
and
indirectly.
AQ
AQ
This
committee
of
school
system
and
community
representatives,
which
I
am
honored
to
co-chair
with
Miki
Emmanuel,
routinely,
looks
at
a
variety
of
data
and
puts
actions
in
place
to
address
a
wide
range
of
issues,
from
mental
health,
to
the
impact
of
poverty
and
beyond
analyze.
Analyzing
data
is
critical
in
our
commitment
to
elevating
all
students
and
eliminating
all
gaps.
Each
of
our
principals
have
received
a
data
profile.
That's
been
disaggregated
by
student
group
that
allows
them
to
see
their
school's
progress.
AQ
In
addition
to
achievement
in
attendance
data,
the
profile
includes
results
from
the
Climate
Survey
and
a
breakdown
of
employee
diversity.
These
profiles
drive
the
work
of
each
school's
school
improvement
plan
within
our
school
system.
The
exam
could've
oversight
committee
works
to
provide
supports
to
schools
that
have
had
difficulty
meeting
established
indicators.
The
ELC
provides
a
support
network
to
schools
in
meeting
their
in
identified
school
improvement
goals
through
the
use
of
problem-solving
protocols
which
are
shared
among
schools.
AQ
The
launch
of
our
new
strategic
plan
also
provides
us
with
a
more
publicly
accessible
portal
through
which
our
progress
can
be
viewed.
The
metrics
section
of
the
strategic
plan,
page
on
our
a
a
CPS
website,
will
contain
data
presented
in
an
easy-to-understand
format
that
will
also
be
downloadable.
It
is
our
intention
to
keep
the
site
fresh
and
to
update
the
data
as
often
as
possible.
AQ
Our
communication
efforts
will
also
include
a
community
book
study
a
summer
series
on
Tuesday
nights
right
here
at
the
boardroom,
addressing
a
variety
of
topics
of
interest
to
parents
and
the
general
community
in
video
clips
on
our
website,
highlighting
efforts
to
address
achievement,
opportunity
and
discipline
gaps.
There
are
more
potential
changes
on
the
horizon
as
well.
We
continue
to
discuss
the
creation
of
safe
spaces
in
our
school
buildings,
where
students
in
crises
can
find
a
trained
adult
who
can
assist
or
direct
them
when
they
need
help
dr..
AQ
Our
lado
has
led
an
ongoing
discussion
in
recent
weeks
about
repackaging
the
initial
days
of
the
upcoming
school
year
to
focus
on
building
relationships
between
students,
as
well
as
between
students
and
staff,
wellness
and
equity.
It
is
his
belief
that
spending
this
time
at
the
outset
of
the
year
has
the
potential
to
create
bonds
that
will
reduce
many
of
the
instances
we
have
seen
to
date.
AQ
Jcps
and
the
community
have
many
challenges
to
address
in
the
areas
of
equity
acceptance
and
inclusion
our
charge
to
attack
those
challenges
can
be
summed
up,
I
believe
in
three
words:
brave,
bold
and
skilled.
We
must
be
brave
enough
to
seat
and
understand
each
individual's
lived
experience.
We
must
be
bold
enough
to
want
to
do
something
about
what
we
see
and
understand,
especially
when
we
want
to
do
so
is
not
so
popular
and
we
must
be
skilled
enough
to
take
appropriate
action.
In
conclusion,
please
take
a
look
at
this
graphic
I'll.
Give
you
a
moment.
AQ
AQ
AR
Like
what
was
packaged
but
I'm
curious
on
a
couple
of
specific
things,
there
is
one
thing:
there's
perception,
some
of
the
things
that
I've
heard
and
people
talked
about
that
they're.
The
discipline
is
disproportionate,
specifically
focusing
on
some
of
the
the
black
students
that
get
in
trouble.
What
type
of
data
do
we
have
without
talking
about
any
specific
cases
that
could
highlight
if
that
perception
is
actually
accurate
in
terms
of
students
that
are
being
referred
to
the
state's
attorney's
office
for
prosecution?
AR
AP
Afternoon,
sir,
we
do
have
data
and
we
constantly
look
at
that
at
a
district
level,
as
well
as
a
school
system
at
an
individual
school
level
we
work
through,
as
is
in
the
opening
of
our
Student
Code
of
Conduct.
We
work
through
cases
of
discipline.
Some
of
them
are.
You
know,
for
example,
altercations
that
you
know
our
code
of
conduct,
driven
that
we
reference
frequently
as
hard
offenses
that
are
immediate
consequences
for
a
particular
action.
Some
of
the
other
consequences.
AP
We
continue
to
work
through
some
of
the
things
that
we've
talked
about,
such
as
advisory
to
help
our
students
be
able
to
negotiate
relationships
better.
It
starts
in
the
early
elementary
school
where
we
have
built
that
into
the
curriculum.
So
the
short
answer
to
that
is:
yes,
we
do
notice
some
discrepancies
within
student
populations,
but
the
answer
to
that.
We
continue
to
work
through
the
systems
that
we
do
have
in
place.
It's
not
perfect,
but
we
continue
to
work.
This
system
sectors,
curriculum,
advisories,
mentoring,
programs
to
help
reduce
those
disparities.
So.
AR
When
you,
we
see
a
situation
like
where
there
is
a
discrepancy,
maybe
there
is
a
school
or
an
area
where
we're
seeing
a
higher
increase.
What
are
the
specific
steps
that
the
administration
is
doing
to
work
with
the
principals
in
that
school
or
the
SROs
whoever's
involved
and
those
actual
incidents
to
make
sure
that
they
are
having
the
right
training
and
it.
AP
Goes
back
to
the
the
individual
story:
there's
not
a
one-size-fits-all
answer
to
that
question,
sir,
because
each
individual
child's
story
is
a
little
bit
different.
Sometimes
students
recidivism
comes
into
play
and
its
constant.
Maybe
it's
a
referral
to
outside
agencies.
Maybe
the
family
needs
some
assistance
in
order
to
help
bridge
the
gap
between
behaviors
that
they're,
also
seeing
at
home,
as
well
as
some
of
those
things
that
we're
seeing
at
school.
So
we
do
have
many
offices
within
the
school
system
that
work
towards
that
end
to
assist
a
particular
school
when
a
child.
AP
But
again
it
goes
down
to
the
individual
child.
There
are
structures
in
place
such
as
leadership
team
meetings,
where
we
wear
teams
of
educators
go
through
data
about
that
particular
child.
Sometimes
it's
as
simple
as
a
change
in
schedule,
for
example,
that
they're
having
difficulty
with
negotiating
a
particular
set
of
colleagues
in
a
classroom
and
sometimes
as
something
as
simple
as
a
change
of
schedule,
could
assist
the
child
a.
AR
Couple
more
questions,
specifically
what
I'm
trying
to
find
out
I
know.
For
instance,
we
just
talked
in
our
closed
session
about
our
board
retreat
and
that
we're
going
to
the
board
we'll
be
getting
some
implicit
bias
training
can
we
talk
specifically
about
administrators
students
is
implicit.
My
bias
training
going
to
become
part
of
the
curriculum
for
everyone
involved
with
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools,
and
how
is
that
going
to
be
rolled
out
so.
AP
And
I'll
let
dr.
gilens
continue
with
that.
For
example,
I
mentioned
advisory
programs.
Our
sixth-grade
advisory
program
does
include
those
things
so,
for
example,
in
sixth
grade
advisory.
We
have
understanding
differences
in
exploring
prejudices,
fairness,
cultural
awareness
and
unintentional
bias,
then,
in
seventh
grade
beyond
tolerance,
cliques
in
schools,
understanding
bias
and
several
other
activities
on
understanding
bias
and
then
in
eighth
grade.
AP
We
continue
with
exploring
stereotypes,
responding
to
differences
and
understanding
differences
that
answers
the
students
piece,
then,
with
the
faculty
piece,
as
we
mentioned
earlier,
our
principals,
as
well
as
as
our
equity
liaisons,
are
trained
each
month
or
equity
liaisons.
It
may
be
a
little
bit
less
than
that
one
as
we've
been
using
the
building
equity
book,
for
example,
on
modules
that
will
assist
staff
and
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
that
implicit.
AP
The
SROs
are
not
our
school
system.
Employees
they're
not
required
to
attend;
sometimes
they
are
part
of,
for
example.
They
are
there
during
the
school
day
and
as
they're
walking
through
the
hallways
and
in
classrooms.
They
are
absolutely
available
to
go
into
classrooms
and
things
like
that
to
see
some
of
the
training
that
we
give
our
students,
but
because
they
are
not
school
system.
Employees
we
are,
they
are
not
required
to
attend.
I
have.
AE
One
that
I'm
gonna
have
I
mean
just
because
you've
talked
about
s
Saros
as
I
think
most
people
are
aware.
The
there
was
some
legislation
signed
by
the
governor
regarding
school
safety
and
security,
and
one
of
those
mandates
in
turn
was
that
training
for
SROs,
because
it's
dumb
jurisdiction
by
jurisdiction,
right
IRS
arose,
are
provided
by
our
police
department,
we're
in
st.
AE
Mary's
County
they're,
provided
by
the
by
the
Sheriff's
Office,
and
so
one
of
the
mandates
that
the
that
the
this
new
legislation
is
put
forward
is
that
SRO
training
will
be
standardized
across
the
state.
So
several
of
us
were
able
to
participate,
invite
and
participate
in
a
statewide
safety
and
Security
Council
conference
this
summer
was
there
as
well,
and
that
was
part
of
the
discussion.
So
just
just
to
let
you
know
our
I
think
our
SROs
are
very
well
trained.
AE
They
are
certainly
invited
to
all
of
our
professional
development
in
the
schools
they're
part
of
each
and
every
day,
but
we
only
have
15
of
them.
Those
numbers
will
be
increasing
over
the
next
two
years.
As
you
know,
the
commitment
from
our
County
Executive
is
to
is
to
ensure
that
we
have
a.
We
have
one
in
all
of
our
high
schools
and
he's
over
the
next
two
years
committed
to
providing
funds
to
increase
the
number
of
s
Saros
to
one
of
each
middle
school.
A
Just
want
to
add
something
so,
as
we
were
talking
about
that
I
know
all
of
us
who
attended
that
that
summit
that
day,
we've
received
a
questionnaire
to
give
input
on
the
SRO
curriculum
and
what
should
be
included,
and
that
is
certainly
training
on
implicit
bias
and
different
things.
I
have
no
doubt
that
we
would
not
be
the
only
school
system
that
would
be
making
suggestions
toward
that
that'd
be
considered
included
in
the
statewide
curriculum.
So
that
is
something
that
we
can
do
and
push
for
on
the
state
level
as
well.
My.
AR
Final
question
is
again:
I
talked
about
the
perception,
that's
what
we've
heard
I've
been
at
events
with
with
both
of
you
in
terms
of
the
perception
that's
out
there
in
terms
of
our
community
outreach
and
getting
the
message
out
specifically
about
what
we're
doing
as
a
release:
diversity,
inclusion,
I,
saw
about
the
partnerships.
What
other
steps
are
we
taking
to
make
sure
whether
it's
the
the
churches,
whether
it's
some
of
the
other
organizations
that
are
out
there,
are
actually
aware
of
this
I?
AR
Think
the
website
is
one
of
our
best
resources,
but
apparently
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
folks
that
are
still
going
there
and
in
checking
as
much
as
we
would
like
diversity
inclusion.
One
of
my
favorite
sayings
I,
can't
remember
who
said
it,
but
diversity.
Inclusion
is
often
about
not
just
being
asked
to
come
to
the
party
but
being
asked
to
dance,
and
so
it
seems
like
there's
some
type
of
breakdown
where
we're
not
getting
that
message
out
about
all
the
things
that
we're
doing
so.
AR
AP
We
mentioned
earlier,
we
are
going
to
continue
to
utilize
our
web-based
system
to
at
least
make
sure
that
that
information
is
transparent
and
it's
out
there
for
anyone
who
does
visit
the
website
to
be
able
to
access.
The
second
thing
that
we're
very
excited
about
is
the
Tuesday
summer
series
that
we
will
invite
the
community
members,
parents
and
the
makeup
of
that
session
will
be
a
short
presentation
on
various
items.
AP
And
so
that's
the
third
thing
that
we're
really
excited
about
is
the
book
study.
The
community
book
study
is
choosing
the
appropriate
book,
perhaps
having
guest
speakers
and
then
access
for
the
whole
county.
We
believe
that
those
things
will
start
to
make
a
difference.
Will
it
answer?
Will
it
absolutely
answer
the
questions?
Probably
not,
but
we
believe
that
it
will
start
to
make
a
difference.
AQ
So
I've
also
been
on
I
call
a
listening
and
kind
of
sharing
tour
where
I
have
met
work.
Several
lead
community
members
to
talk
about
the
work
we
also
have,
as
we
mentioned,
the
equity
Advisory
Committee,
which
is
consisted
of
school-based
folks
and
also
community
folks.
That's
another
way,
and
we
do
it
every
month
to
communicate
exactly
what's
going
on
and
be
very
transparent
in
the
work
so
again
and
I'm
continuing
to
meet
with
key
individuals
in
the
community
to
really
communicate
exactly
what
the
work
is.
M
AP
That
end,
we
are
open
to
suggestions
as
we
continue.
This
work
as
I
speak
with
dr.
Gillan's.
This
is
not
just
about
the
work
of
her
office.
This
is
about
the
work
of
a
a
CPS
and
Anne
Arundel
County
and
its
citizens,
the
greater
Anne
Arundel
County
and
its
citizens,
and
so,
as
we
continue
to
do
the
work,
it
is
crucial
more
than
ever
that
we
work
together
because,
as
I
echo,
what
mr.
black
said,
our
children
are
watching
us
and
we,
as
we
become
their
role
models
and
their
examples.
G
You,
madam
president,
I
thank
you
again
for
this
presentation.
I
know
I,
and
certainly
this
board
appreciate
all
of
your
effort
and
communicating
what
we're
doing
so
far,
and
it's
certainly
gonna
be
a
great
benefit
to
our
community,
to
learn
more
of
the
things
that
we
are
doing
as
a
district
I
just
had
a
few
brief
questions.
I
heard
you
mentioned
that
we're
doing
advisories
throughout
middle
school
for
diversity
and
inclusion.
How
do
we
measure
the
efficacy
of
the
equity
advisory
program.
AP
So
we
are
continuing
to
work
through
our
middle
school
workgroup
to
develop
that
our
robust
advisory
program
started
just
a
few
years
ago,
and
so,
as
we
continue
to
expand
our
advisory
program
through
middle
school
and
into
high
school,
our
middle
school
level.
Educators
are
working
through
on
this
books,
helping
us
with
advisories
and
helping
us
not
only
with
the
content,
but
exactly
what
you
are
talking
about
measuring
is
what
we're
teaching
actually
getting
us.
AP
The
results
that
we
want
and
it's
hard
because
you
know,
there's
standardized
tests
for
a
lot
of
things,
but
for
not,
but
not
for
how
you
think
and
feel
and
speak
and
so
we're
continuing
to
look
at
other
districts.
As
we
network,
dr.
Gillan's
just
joined
a
network
of
Maryland
DC
in
Northern
Virginia
to
help
get
some
of
those
metrics.
AP
We
don't
have
specific
metrics
in
place
right
now,
but
what
we
are
noticing
is
that,
for
example,
in
our
elementary
schools,
what
we're
teaching
our
students
during
the
day
they're
taking
outside
of
the
school,
for
example,
the
playground
where
they
are
beginning
to
use
restorative
circles
on
their
own.
And
so
that's
exactly
what
we
want
to
happen.
And
so
it's
hard
to
capture
the
narrative.
But
we're
continuing
to
work
through
that.
As.
AQ
Well,
as
far
as
having
being
the
director
of
school
performance
in
the
last
two
years,
we
did
establish,
the
middle
school
group
did
establish
a
walkthrough
tool,
because
it's
not
only
that
we've
created
a
curriculum,
but
is
it
being
delivered
to
fidelity?
So
there
is
a
walkthrough
tool
that
was
created
last
year.
As
far
as
impact
on
student
performance
I
hear
you
there's
work
to
be
done,
but
I
would
also
argue
that
the
principles
were
clear,
that
they
needed
a
tool
to
monitor
the
fidelity
in
which
their
curriculum
is
being
implemented.
AQ
G
You
very
much
and
you
did
touch
on
some
of
the
work
we're
doing
in
elementary
schools-
certainly
global
studies
through
the
Tripoli
program,
but
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
through
all
of
our
elementary
schools
and
through
our
our
our
Universal
curriculum
that
were
able
to
address
topics
of
diversity
and
inclusion.
Lastly,
is
there
any
work
being
done?
We
heard
at
the
last
minute
the
meeting
before
about
some
of
these
new
nine
week
classes?
Is
there
any
work
being
done
about
developing
a
nine-week
either
global
studies
or
cultural
proficiency
course
for
high
school
students?
We.
AP
AP
G
Absolutely
self
affirmation
of
their
culture
of
that
cultural
affirmation
from
day
one
in
the
classroom
for
all
of
our
students
is
incredibly
important
and
I
and
I
hope
to
see
that
we
start
creating
more
robust
classroom.
Libraries
with
diverse
authors
for
all
of
our
students
to
have
easy
access
to
not
just
on
media
day.
So.
N
G
A
Mr.
butcher,
once
you
know,
miss
Ortiz,
just
texted
me
and
said
that
the
legislation
for
the
new
SROs,
the
school
safety
act.
It
is
required
in
the
law
that
implicit
bias,
training
be
included
in
their
curriculum.
So
it's
already
in
there
we
can.
We
can
reinforce
it,
but
it's
already
been
required
by
law.
I.
M
AP
H
AE
P
Thank
you
for
all
the
update.
I
love.
The
community
book
study
idea,
your
resident
English
teacher
I'm
talking
my
questions
were
about
the
student
side.
It's
really
hard
for
students
to
build
relationships
with
people
outside
their
cultural
bubble.
If
their
school
is
a
bubble,
what
can
we
do
to
create
those
opportunities
to
build
those
relationships
across
schools
if
they're
their
school
is
a
little
bit
of
a
demographic
bubble?.
AP
Thank
you
very
much
for
asking
that
question.
It
was
it's
great
to
have
our
superintendent's
teen
advisory.
For
so
many
reasons,
and
one
of
those
reasons
it's
just
what
you
mentioned
it
actually
came,
has
come
up
several
times
and
they
are
working
with
Miss
pelegrin
to
come
up
with
ways
to
help
extend
their
knowledge
of
other
areas.
AP
You
know
one
student
mentioned
she
said:
I
had
no
idea
where
your
school
was
even
located
and
so
we're
working
through
our
students
because
we
would
like
for
that
to
be
a
student-led
effort
and
so
we're
working
through
our
students
to
begin
figuring
out
ways
to,
at
the
very
least,
share
the
wonderful
ideas
and
experiences
that
they've
had.
For
example,
Mead
held
a
summit
there
that
many
students
attended
throughout
the
county
and
it
was
very
successful
and
so
to
continue
to
have
different
schools
host
on
the
summit.
AP
AQ
That's
also
been
a
challenge,
even
for
my
office,
to
have
those
conversations
in
which
schools
appear
on
the
surface
level
to
be
in
the
same
cultural
bubble
right,
but
we're
so
complex
individually.
So
we
have
definitely
had
conversations
because
there's
some
school
that
I
shouldn't
say
schools
there
are
some
communities.
I
may
feel
like
this
work
is
not
so
you
know,
we
don't
need
this,
but
again
we're
so
complex.
If
you
look
at
the
dimensions
of
identity,
is
it
isn't
just
race,
it's
beyond
it's
more
than
that,
we're
more
complex
than
that.
P
The
only
other
thing
I
wanted
to
suggest
when
we're
picking
the
nights
for
Tuesday
the
Tuesday
evening
of
the
month.
I
know
the
caucus
of
African
American
leaders
often
meets
on
Tuesday
evenings
I,
don't
know
if
they
meet
throughout
the
summer,
but
they
they
seem
to
pick
the
same
evening
or
we
pick
the
same
evening
as
our
equity
advisory
meetings.
So
they're
not
able
to
come
to
both
so
I
would
I
would
love
to
see
those
groups
together.
P
A
AE
AS
I
didn't
know
what
this
agenda
item
was
actually
going
to
consist
of
until
I
saw
the
presentation.
So
forgive
me
if
I
misspeak
I,
don't
have
any
notes.
The
point
I
wanted
to
make
about
that
whole
presentation
is,
if
you
actually
want
to
fix
this
equity
problem
that
you're
talking
about.
If
you
want
a
real
solution,
you
won't
just
form
these
committees.
You
won't
form
separate
groups
of
committees
among
the
students.
You
will
ask
all
the
students,
you
will
take
this
notepad
right
here
and
sit
in
front
of
the
entire
student
body
and
ask
them.
AS
A
Is
there
any
other
public
comments
and
I
also
want
to
show
you
this?
This
video
and
presentation
will
be
put
online
as
a
separate
video
broken
out,
so
you
don't
have
to
watch
the
whole
five-hour
board
meeting
and
you
can
see
this
portion
of
it
and
parents
will
be
notified
through
parent
connect
that
it
is
available
for
them
to
watch
that
so
that
all
of
our
parents
can
see
all
the
many
rich
and
innovative
things
that
we
are
trying
to
do
as
we
continue
to
celebrate
our
kids
and
close
the
equity
gaps.
A
E
E
I
knew
Karen
as
a
as
a
little
girl,
because
I
was
trained
by
her
mother
Mary
Ellen
Street
was
my
principal
when
I
started
early
in
this
county
and
mrs.
Street
was
a
reason.
I
continued
and
became
a
school
administrator
and
taught
with
her
and
then
and
watched
her
little
girl
grow
up
to
be
such
a
successful
administrator
and
wonderful
as
their
mom.
So
our
system
will
really
miss
Karen
thanks.
