This
morning,
I've
had
the
pleasure
to
go
to
severe
Park
High,
School
and
attended
deca
were
financially
assembly.
It
was
very
well
attended
where
the
comptroller
Peter
Franchot
attended
and
spoke
to
a
number
of
students
from
severe
Park
and
the
signature
program
at
Elmo
hi
about
financial
literacy.
They
also
had
a
number
of
severe
Park
alumni
talk
about
financing,
while
in
college,
which
is
very
beneficial
for
me,
a
number
of
other
students,
especially
when
I'm
in
college.
This
fall.
D
Since
the
last
meeting
I
figured
it
out,
I've
been
to
12
different
schools
in
the
past
two
weeks
and
it
was
great
because
I
got
to
experience
almost
every
kind
of
program
that
we
have
in
the
schools
and
to
see
all
those
just
amazing
things
that
are
going
into.
I
went
to
history
day
the
award
ceremony
for
History
Day
and
got
to
see
the
amazing
projects
and
things
that
are
going
on
there.
Academically
then
I
got
to
see
a
example
of
our
outstanding
sports.
D
I
went
to
the
mead
annapolis
playoff
game
and
then
to
the
mead
final
basketball
game
for
the
state
championship,
and
that
was
wonderful.
I
went
to
the
Rock
and
Roll
revival.
It's
verna
park
high
school,
so
I
got
to
see
the
arts
alive
and
well
in
our
school
and
all
the
talent
there.
I
attended
an
assembly
at
mead
middle
school
that
it
was
in
conjunction
with
the
Arts
Council
that
brought
in
a
group
called
step
Afrika,
which
is
a
great
way
to
see
the
arts
community
and
our
pta's
involvement
in
the
schools
and
monday
night.
D
Otto
and
go
congratulate
and
surprised
all
of
our
Teacher
of
the
Year
finalist,
so
I
feel
like
I
got
this
wonderful
snapshot
of
all
these
fabulous
things
going
on
the
school
system.
The
only
thing
I
realized
that
I
didn't
get
with
science,
but
tomorrow
night
I'm
going
to
an
elementary
school
for
their
science-fair
and
a
show
they're
having
so
I'm
going
to
get
it
all
in
in
two
weeks,
and
it's
just
been
a
great
time
and
hats
off
to
all
those
schools.
It's
been
a
great
great
time.
E
You
I
also
had
the
opportunity
to
see
Rock
and
Roll
revival,
which
is
always
good
fun,
so
I
had
a
wonderful
time.
They're
also
had
a
chance
to
see
hairspray
this
past
weekend
at
Annapolis,
High
School,
and
that
was
phenomenal
and
I
do
believe
that
right
now,
they're,
probably
doing
a
a
rehearsal
show
and
I
believe
that
miss
mrs.
Kaur
black
son
is
doing
one
of
the
parts.
E
He
was
doing
his
paging
for
the
week
he's
a
General
Assembly
page
this
year,
and
so
they
had
him
working
in
the
afternoons
too,
and
it
was
so
nice
to
see
Jacob
I.
I
texted
him
immediately
and
said.
Is
that
you
and
he
texted
me
back
I,
don't
know
how
he
had
time
who's
very
busy
doing
his
job,
but
it
was
really
nice
to
see
Jacob
there
in
Annapolis
doing
his
work.
Thanks,
mrs.
F
F
Regional
Science
and
Engineering
Fair,
which
was
spectacular
as
well,
and
I
have
to
say,
congratulations
to
allison
bowman
from
severna
park
and
sebastian
Brennan
from
South
River
for
sharing
that
grand
prize
I
know
it's
exciting
to
think
they'll
be
off
to
the
Intel
International
Science,
Fair
I,
think
in
Phoenix
Phoenix
yeah.
I
did
also
get
to
visit
two
of
our
charter
schools
that
I
had
not
seen,
and
it
was
really
really
fascinating
to
be
at
chesapeake
science
point
and
then
on
arc
Academy
it's
been.
It
has
been
a
busy
time
and
it's
only
getting
busier.
F
A
Thank
you
last
week,
I
had
the
chance
to
go
to
the
mills,
King
awards
dinner
with
tack
and
were
they
honored
Susan
Smith
from
northeast
high
school
and
then
I
went
to
hairspray
on
Friday
night,
my
son's
a
tech
director.
My
daughter
was
in
it
and,
as
mrs.
Burge
said
tonight,
the
drama
teacher
is
playing
mrs.
Turnblad,
the
mother.
If
you've
seen
the
show-
and
my
son
is
mr.
A
Turnblad
and
then
on
Monday,
we
got
to
go
to
the
Blue
Ribbon
awards
banquet
in
Annapolis,
where
we
got
to
honor
Pasadena
and
Arnold
elementary
for
earning
a
Maryland
blue
ribbon
along
with
four
other
schools.
So
we
were
two
out
of
the
six
and
it
was
just
a
wonderful
evening
to
see
everybody
honored
dr.
Frank
I.
G
H
Good
evening
president
Corps
black
doctor
a
lot
oh
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
Scott
hearth
and
I.
Am
the
president
of
the
Chesapeake
Regional
association
of
student
councils
lobbying
day
was
an
adventure
after
a
few
years
of
not
being
able
to
have
this
event?
There
was
a
lot
of
anticipation
and
excitement.
The
day
delivered
the
plans
he
made
kind
of
went
out
the
window
and
we
ended
up
with
state's
attorney
West
Adams.
H
As
a
keynote
speaker,
we'd
like
to
thank
it's
a
runner
park
middle
school
teacher
for
helping
us
make
that
arrangement,
we
also
enjoyed
keynotes
from
county
executive
Steve
shoe
and
lobbyist
marina
Hardy
soon
spoke
to
their
elected
representatives
from
the
Maryland
General
Assembly
and
the
County
Council.
The
real
highlight
of
the
day
was
when
local
celebrity
Ted
Levitt
of
chicken
roost
Ellie
joined
us
for
the
pledge
and
to
tell
us
that
chicken
roof
dedicated
sandwich
to
Jacob
as
a
public
official.
It
was
a
great
day.
H
So
the
real
news
is
that,
on
behalf
of
krask,
I
am
proud
to
announce
that
we
have
narrowed
the
field
of
applicants
down
to
our

our

A

Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
President
Gore
block
vice
president
nalli
distinguished
board
members,
dr.
Lara,
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues.
Well,
my
name
is
Robert
silkworth
and
I'm,
a
veteran
teacher
here
in
in
Rowan,
County
and
I'm.
Also
the
chairperson
of
high
school
concerns
committee.
First
of
all,
on
behalf
of
my
colleagues,
I
would
like
to
extend
a
very
warm
welcome
to
Terry,
Gilliam
and
Maria
Sasso
new
board
members
I
congratulate
both
of
you
on
your
appointment
to
the
board
of
ed
and
I.
J
Thank
you
in
advance
for
your
willingness
to
serve
in
Iran
the
county
school
system
and
our
kids.
I
would
also
like
to
say
congratulations
to
mr.
Gillan
for
being
a
new
father
as
well
for
your
information
of
the
high
school
concerns
committee
is
the
TAC
committee,
which
has
met
monthly
for
many
years.
Our
mission
is
to
collaborate
with
all
stakeholders
to
make
sure
that
we
are
providing
our
students
with
the
best
possible
education.
We
are
teachers,
but
we
are
also
volunteers.
We
are
here
because
we
care
about
our
students,
our
schools
and
our
communities.
J
J
We
also
do
collaborate
with
the
ASI
tact
advisory
group,
of
which
I'm
also
a
member
and
I'm
usually
available
here
during
the
nighttime
meeting
every
month
to
give
a
report
at
our
recent
meeting,
we
did
discuss
items
such
as
proposed
changes
to
grading
regulations,
SI
ellos,
the
status
of
fwt,
our
work
to
rule
in
high
schools
and
the
impact
on
teachers
and
staff
of
a
semester
break
with
one
day
between
semesters.
This
evening,
I
would
like
to
focus
on
a
survey
which
we
conducted
about
the
impact
of
having
only
one
day
between
semesters.
J
I
have
copies
of
the
results
with
me
this
evening,
to
share
with
you
and
I
have
left
the
copies
for
you.
Basically,
the
results
of
the
survey
show
that
eighty-seven
percent
of
the
teacher
survey
did
not
have
adequate
time
within
their
workday
in
order
to
grade
exams.
Closeout
semester,
1
and
prepare
for
semester
to
eighty-seven
percent
of
the
teachers
also
said
that
they
spent
to
24
hours
more
outside
of
their
workday.
A
to
close
out
semester
want
to
prepare
for
semester,
2
I
believe
the
value,
however,
in
the
survey
is
not
necessarily
in
the
data.
J
I.
Think
the
value
in
the
survey
will
be
the
comments
that
you
will
see
when
you
read
that
there
are
five
or
six
pages
of
comments
from
teachers
now
I've
heard
reports
from
some
various
staff
who
have
believed
that
teachers
only
need
one
day.
My
high
school
experience
tells
me
that
teachers
need
every
bit
of
the
two
days
and
I
believe
that
the
comments
in
a
survey
will
give
you
a
better
understanding
of
this
issue
from
the
perspective
of
the
high
school
teacher.
I,
certainly
hope
this
is
helpful
to
you.
J
I
will
be
sending
you
an
email
tomorrow,
which
will
be
the
minutes
of
the
march
meeting.
Our
next
meeting
is
wednesday,
the
13th
of
april
2016
and
attack
offices
and
in
terms
of
kudos,
I
would
like
to
congratulate
the
five
public
school
finalists.
That's
Carol
back
between
a
Griffin
Sharon
Mattoon,
Alexis,
Bergen,
oski,
Kathleen
sores,
and
the
three
independent
school
teachers,
Melissa
hilt,
Stephanie,
lotsa
and
Gretchen
Moran
for
having
been
recognized
and
I
wish.
The
best
of
luck
to
them.
Thank
you
so
much.
Ladies

Board

or
comments.
Any
public
comment.
Ok.
The
next
item
is
4.05
school
safety
patrols
policy,
jei
second
reading.
Also
no
public

any
board
questions
or
comments
there.
Any
public
comment
alright
and
the
fourth
one
is
item
4.06
violence
and
vandalism
policy
kg
also
no
public

Any

questions
or
comments.
A
K
Of
today,
the
House
of
Delegates
has
introduced
1642
bills
and
the
Senate
has
introduced
1167
bills.
The
exhibit
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
up
to
date
as
of
March
9th.
There
have
been
some
changes
since
that
date,
but
there
are
still
no
bills
that
we
are
tracking
that
have
passed
both
the
House
and
the
Senate.
So
if
you
have
any
questions
about
specific
bills
in
the
exhibit
I'm
happy
to
answer
them
at
this
time,
this.
D
K
E
A
A
A
D
The
board
has
had
a
great
deal
of
discussion
about
school
start
in
dismissal
times
we
have
six
hundred
and
two
thousand
dollars
from
the
county.
In
our
current
budget,
we
are
asking
for
1.4
million
additional
in
our
budget
request
now
before
the
county
executive.
As
we
move
forward
in
this
budget
season,
I
believe
we
must
have
a
plan
for
what
to
do
with
any
money
we
have
or
may
receive.
D
Therefore,
I
want
to
make
a
motion
that
the
board
direct
doctoral
lotto
to
provide
us
at
our
April
twentieth
meeting
with
two
proposed
plans
for
the
2017
2018
school
year.
First,
what
would
a
shift
look
like
if
the
county
gives
us
the
1.4
million
so
that
we
have
two
million
and
hand
on
in
June
and
second,
what
would
a
shift
look
like
if
we
only
had
the
six
hundred
and
two
thousand
we
currently
have
again?
Any
change
would
not
take
place
before
the
2017-18
school
year.
E
A
A
A
D
The
contract
for
the
integrated
transportation
contract
or
pay
system,
one
of
the
the
one
we're
voting
to
award
the
contractor,
has
a
significantly
higher
technical
score
than
the
others.
Can
you
just
without
super
detail
because
I'll
get
lost
in
that,
but
in
general,
what
what
made
this
one
so
much
more
technically
proficient
than
the
other
contracts
for.

If
you
look
on

at

end,

into

a
scoring
rubric
that
we
are
asking
the
respondent
to
populate,
and
so
we
telegraphed
that
up
front
we
say
exempt
exactly.
This
is
what
you
need
to
provide,
just
how
you're
going
to
be
scored.
You
know
this
is
exactly
what
we're
looking
for.
So
the
main
areas
were
their
ability
to
address
the
functional
requirements
of
the
system,
their
business
processes.
L
Essentially,
how
are
they
going
to
go
about
it
and
including
the
management
of
the
project,
their
technology
plan,
their
their
plan
for
using
leveraging
technology
and
the
robustness
that
our
platform,
the
second
and
finally,
the
security
of
their
technology
system,
so
they're?
Basically,
four
areas?
One's
essentially
you
know
competency,
one's
kind
of
staffing,
one
is
technology
and
one
of
security.
So
those
are
the
four
big
buckets
that
we
were
looking
at
and
we
had
a
multi-discipline
team,
including
transportation,
finance
technology,
etc,
evaluating
it.
L
Dismay
of
you
take
a
look
at
it
out
of
a
out
of
a
possible
score
of
70,
the
first
vendor
received
in
that
category
technical
received
a
score
of
almost
sixty
one
out
of
a
possible
70.
The
second
vendor
received
a
47
out
of
a
possible
score
of
70,
and
the
final
vendor
received
a
score
of
approximately
38
out
of
a
score
of
70.
E
L
So
essentially,
we
have
a
routing
we're
moving
towards
an
automated
routing
system
and
so
in
the
specifications
under
their
functional
requirements,
which
was
one
of
their
biggest
elements
of
scoring
and
then
on
the
technology
side.
Data
demonstrate
how
they
would
be
able
to
receive
the
exported
information
because
they
have
to
be
able
to
keep
track
of
hours
and
mileage
and
a
whole
series
of
variables
to
calculate
how
much
they
get
paid.
A
lot
of
that
data
is
going
to
be
export
data
out
of
the
automated
transportation,
routing
and
scheduling
package.
L
So
they
had
to
demonstrate
to
us
that
they
had
the
proper
integration
to
be
able
to
accept
that
data
to
make
sure
it's
accepted
in
a
secured
fashion
that
it
couldn't
be
corrupted
or
co-opted
in
any
manner
and
then
used
to
properly
calculate
the
payment
schedule
that
they
would
ultimately
receive
for
running
those
routes.
Okay,.
E
L
G
L
Largely
we
had
a
lot
of
discussions
with
both
vendors,
as
well
as
other
school
systems
that
had
implemented
these
types
of
systems.
We
did
site
visits
to
other
neighboring
jurisdictions,
comparable
size,
etc
that
had
successfully
stood
up
these
type
of
systems,
so
our
performance
period
for
the
implementation
of
that
deliverable
was
again
informed
by
discussions
with
the
industry,
as
well
as
discussion
with
users
that
actually
have
those
systems.
Perhaps.
L
The
the
deliverable
the
contract
with
the
vendor
has
their
deliverable
being
provided
to
us
no
later
than
the
end
of
April,
and
then
we
are
going
to
populate
that
inform
a
population
and
data
set
into
the
system.
That's
in
progress
populate
the
county's
mapping
system,
so
there's
a
lot
of
data
import
that
has
to
go
we're
going
to
have
to
then
proof
and
validate
it
that
that
information
was
successfully
transferred
fully
and
accurately.
L
G
L
Know
I
don't
know,
we've
got
the.
We
got
the
county
geographically
sliced
up
into
a
number
of
service
areas
for
many
reasons,
one
to
enhance
competition,
because
some
vendors-
simply
you
know-
you
can't
say
you
know,
do
all
you
know-
do
all
three
thousand
plus
acres.
You
know
he's
going
to
take
that
contract
on,
so
we
have
them
the
county
chunked
up
in
a
smaller
pieces
that
are
more
manageable.
Even
for
some
of
the
smaller
contractors.
That's
one
of
the
issues.
The
second
issue
that
we
have
is
we
don't
have
them
all
expiring.
L
At
the
same
time,
so
shitty
contractor
go
under
one.
We
have
a
small
exposure
and
be
it's
not
the
whole
county.
So
it's
small
geographically,
but
it's
also
small
in
terms
of
the
magnitude
so
they're
all
based
on
geography,
because
we're
paying
for
what
we
call
a
windshield
time,
which
is
when
they're
being
unproductive
driving
from
site
to
site
B
to
sightsee.
So
we
did
geographically
group
him
in
a
pretty
compact
footprint
and
then
bid
these
various
elements.
I
could
certainly
get
back
to
you
with
which
specific
one
no.
D
D
L
We
all
sorts
of
vast
majority
of
our
of
our
grass
cutting.
We
certainly
can't
just
don't
have
the
staff,
so
we
would
bundle
you
know,
for
example,
we
would
be
bundling.
You
know
a
group
of
nine
schools,
maybe
and
say
okay
in
this
area,
but
it
doesn't
align
with
feeder
systems
because
just
a
simple
geography,
sometimes
the
high
schools
and
a
far
elementary
school
could
actually
dad
elementary
school
would
be
closer
to
another
high
school.
L
So
we
regroup
them
in
a
way
to
make
sense
and
to
reduce
again
the
term
we
use
is
windshield
time
reduce
the
amount
of
time
that
they've
to
drive
between
the
sites
and
then
to
try
to
balance
out,
because
you've
got
big
pieces
of
property
and
very
small
piece
of
property.
So
we
try
to
kind
of
make
them
in
a
sort
of
an
equal
size.
Grouping.
Okay,.
A
L
We
actually
controlled
a
place
price
of
fuel,
not
them
so
they
are
putting
in
their
putting
in
essentially
a
guess
of
what
fuel
will
be
at
the
time
of
service
each
and
every
month
specifications
have
an
index
that
we
follow.
It's
a
nationally
published
index
and
it
comes
out
of
the
essentially
the
wall
street
journal
and
we
publish
that.
We
tell
the
contractors
each
and
every
month
what
is
the
price
of
fuel
that
they
are
allowed
to
charge
us
so
doesn't
matter
what
they
put
here.
L
A
You
we
made
you
work
for
the
consent
items
tonight.
Is
there
any
public
comment
on
these?
All
those
in
favor
motion
passes
900.
That
concludes
our
meeting
this
evening.
I
wanted
to
thank
our
student
member
of
the
board
candidates
for
attending
this
evening,
and
our
next
just
couple.
Announcements
and
export
of
education
meeting
is
wednesday
april
six
at
10am.
The
next
board
policy
committee
meeting
is
wednesday
april
13th
at
1pm,
and
the
