If
we
are
interrupted
during
the
broadcast
of
this
evening's
meeting,
the
meeting
will
be
stopped
and
we
will
take
a
short
recess
until
we
can
continue.
If,
for
some
reason,
we
cannot
continue,
we
will
notify
you
as
soon
as
possible
when
a
new
meeting
will
be
scheduled.
The
board
attorney
has
asked
that
I
read
the
following
statement:
the
maryland
open
meetings
act.
The
state
law
requires
public
meetings
to
be
open
to
the
public
and
to
be
held
in
places
reasonably
accessible
to
individuals
who
would
like
to
attend
these
meetings.
B
The
limited
public
format
of
this
meeting
of
the
board
of
education
is
due
to
the
covid19
emergency
and
is
necessary
in
light
of
the
serious
health
risks
associated
with
public
gatherings,
as
well
as
the
governors
and
county
executives,
various
executive
orders
limiting
public
gatherings
consistent
with
the
open
meetings
act.
Steps
have
been
taken
to
ensure
that
this
meeting
includes
an
alternate
accessibility
feature
that
the
open
meetings
act,
compliance
board
and
the
courts
have
reviewed
and
approved,
such
as
broadcasting.
B
The
meeting
with
video
and
audio
on
cable
tv
and
on
the
web
and
allowing
written
public
comments
to
agenda
items
to
be
filed
with
the
board
office
and
considered
by
the
board.
The
board
attorney
has
opined
that
the
modified
public
access
provided
by
this
technology
makes
this
virtual
meeting
reasonably
accessible
to
the
public
and
provides
appropriate
opportunity
to
observe
the
conduct
of
the
board's
public
business
consistent
with
prevailing
best
practices
during
this
emergency
situation
and
therefore
complies
with
the
open
meetings
act
as
the
legal
and
health
parameters
evolve.

Next
weekend,
aacps
will
send
52
students,
the
largest
delegation
in
the
state,
attending
the
virtual
maryland
association
of
student
council's
virtual
convention.
Our
delegates
will
attend
workshops
led
by
other
student
leaders
from
around
the
state
and
elect
the

to
offer
special
congratulations
to

that
deal
with
a
certain

of
the

They
are
hoping
many

participate,
as
this

is
not

very
fun
but
engaging
and
a
great
way
to

like
to

another
huge.
Thank
you
to
teachers
and

for
the
work
and
planning
that

My

mallory
lafon
and
I
represent
anne
arundel
county
council
of
ptas
a
couple
of
dates.
At
our
february

we
were
able
to

We

E
Every

E
E
Now
that
the
coming
year's
budget
is
in
the
hands
of
county
exec
pickman,
we
are
asking
for
all
units
and
members
to
contact
pittman's
office,
along
with
their
respective
county
council
members
to
ensure
the
aacps
budget
is
fully
funded.
As
recommended
at
our
last
meeting,
we
voted
to
support
three
different
measures.
First,
we
support
tax
work
to
rule
action
and
the
goal
to
get
teachers
in
the
building
and
out
of
the
building
as
quickly
as
possible.
E
Local
units
are
ready
and
willing
to
help
schools,
teachers
and
building
staff
in
any
way
possible.
Second,
with
regard
to
item
5.07
on
the
board
of
education
agenda
tonight,
national
pta
has
a
position
to
support
healthy
school
start
and
dismissal
times.
The
aacc
pta
supports
actions
by
the
board
of
education
to
implement
these
healthy
school
start
and
stop
times.
E
E
I
would
like
to
extend
a
personal
thank
you
to
all
of
the
teachers,
admin
and
building
staff.
We
know
that
this
transition
into
hybrid
learning
has
been
difficult,
but
seeing
the
happy
students
back
in
the
classrooms
is
a
sign
of
normalcy.
We've
all
been
waiting
for.
Also
thank
you
to
dr
arlatto
and
the
reopening
steering
committee
for
your
hours
and
hours
of
hard
work
and
planning
to
make
this
all
a
reality.
E
Finally,
please
join
your
local
pta.
Our
local
units
are
working
hard
to
provide
meaningful
and
enriching
programs
and
activities
in
our
schools
during
this
difficult
time.
In
order
to
continue
to
provide
such
support,
ptas
need
help
from
you.

who
attended

meeting
for
their
extensive
report,
including

a
significant

of
valuable

Their

represented,
obviously
a
tremendous

The

have
the

possible
discussion.
G
H
You,
yes,
the
budget
committee
met
yesterday
march
16th
and
talked
about
a
number
of
items,
including
a
debrief
of
the
recently
concluded
budget
amendment
process.
H
We
received
a
bit
of
a
revenue
update
with
regard
to
various
iterations
of
federal
relief
monies
that
might
apply
to
k-12
and
spoke
about
the
monthly
financial
reports
which
show
up
on
our
agendas
regularly
and
in
ways.
We
can
continue
to
improve
upon
those
to
give
members
as
much
information
as
possible.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
on
april
20th
at

just
like

it's
open

pleased

our

C
C
B
B
I
will
start
over.
Thank
you,
mr
smith.
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
that
wonderful
report
and
for
taking
on
yet
another
very
important
leadership
role
for
the
board
and
for
our
students.
B
I
Good
evening,
president
ellis
vice
president
schalheim,
dr
alato
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
russel
leone,
president
of
the
teachers,
association
of
anne
arundel
county,
and
I
rise
in
support
of
the
renaming
of
george
fox
middle
school.
We
know
that
words
matter,
but
so
do
does,
who
we
choose
to
honor
by
using
their
names
on
our
facilities.
I
Fox
was
on
record
as
stating
the
worst
teacher.
The
worst
white
teacher
is
better
than
the
best
black
teacher.
Are
these
words
from
someone
we
should
continue
to
honor
as
aacps
continues
to
offer
equity
pd
to
educators
to
support
our
students.
We
must
also
look
inward
to
the
symbolic
choices
we
make
as
a
white
educator.
I'm
still,
I
am
concerned
about
the
message
we
send
to
our
students
of
color
each
day
that
they
walk
into
a
building
named
after
someone
with
the
views
george
fox
held.
I
I
J
Good
evening,
president
ellis
vice
president
xiaohi
members
of
the
board
and
dr
orlando-
I
am
kate
snyder.
I
am
the
vice
president
of
tech
and
a
long
time
history
teacher
here
in
the
county.
I
am
here
this
evening
to
strongly
encourage
this
board
to
vote
for
the
change
of
the
name
of
george
fox
middle
school.
The
tech
leadership
team
voted
unanimously
to
support
the
changing
of
the
school's
name
in
many
debates.
There
are
two
sides
of
an
argument
with
a
lot
of
gray
areas
on
each
side.
J
J
J
If
this
board
does
not
stand
up
and
right
the
wrong
by
voting
for
a
name
change,
then
you
are
sending
a
message
of
inequity
and
racism
to
our
educators,
students
and
community.
The
debate
over
this
should
be
short.
Just
ask
yourself.
These
questions
does
all
mean
all.
Are
you
a
racist
or
an
anti-racist?
B
B
K
Good
evening,
I
was
glad
to
see
that
you
are
honoring
your
commitment
to
establishing
health,
healthy
and
safe
start
and
dismissal
times
for
all
students,
and
I
hope
that
this
contract
will
enable
aacps
to
meet
this
goal,
but
I
also
hope
the
work
will
not
end
there.
The
inability
to
fix
school
start
times
is
only
a
symptom
of
the
issues
that
have
long
existed
within
our
transportation
department.
K
We've
waited
anxiously,
but
there
has
been
little
to
no
indication
of
how
and
when
these
issues
will
finally
be
addressed,
and
for
most
of
this
past
year
the
transportation
department
wasn't
actively
involved
with
transporting
students
in
neighboring
howard
county.
They
used
the
time
to
implement
new
routing
software
and
increase
efficiency
in
their
routes
by
20
percent.
K
Here
in
annapolis,
monarch
academy,
which
opted
to
secure
their
own
busing
contracts
to
fix
their
too
late
school
start
time
reduced
their
daily
buses
from
14
down
to
eight,
but
here
in
aacps
little,
if
anything
has
changed,
there
are
still
47
buses
serving
annapolis
high
school
with
each
bus
serving
an
average
of
4.7
students.
That's
not
inefficient!
K
That
is
a
gross
waste
of
taxpayer
dollars
dollars,
which
could
have
been
better
used
in
so
many
other
ways
in
our
school
system.
It
is
time
to
stop
kicking
the
transportation
can
down
the
road.
We
can
no
longer
pretend
that
transportation
issues
aren't
negatively
impacting
all
students
across
our
school
system.
L
Prismatic
identified
a
lack
of
procedures,
a
lack
of
technology
and
legacy
ways
of
work
as
the
three
main
themes
hindering
improvements
to
the
transportation
division.
These
three
hindrances
continue
to
negatively
impact
all
students
across
the
entire
school
system.
This
is
perhaps
why
345
people
thus
far
have
signed
a
new
petition
calling
for
a
change
in
leadership
within
and
potentially
extending
above
the
transportation
division.
L
The
community
is
fed
up
with
the
dither
and
delay
tactics
routinely
impeding
transportation
improvements
and
a
lack
of
accountability.
So
I
appreciate
that
the
school
system
is
admitting
that
they
are
unable
to
meet
this
board's
goals
of
improving
transportation
and
school
start
times.
They
need
to
hire
prismatic
to
meet
your
timeline
and
parameters,
including
cost
neutrality.
L
L
I
hope
that
aacps
will
continue
to
provide
additional
details
next
month
regarding
how
they
plan
to
address
other
changes
necessitated
by
new
school
hours
like
food
service,
extracurriculars
discussions
with
other
county
agencies
like
the
police,
department's
crossing
guards,
annapolis
and
county
parks
and
rec
school-aged,
child
care
and
mou
for
sports
facilities.
Public
works
for
traffic
signal
changes
and
more
please
vote
in
favor
of
the
contract
with
prismatic
services.
Thank
you.
M
India,
oaks
hills
mayor
elementary,
everyone
here
knows
the
importance
of
shifting
school
star
times
as
voted
on
earlier
this
year.
Everyone
here
saw
the
flaws
and
the
transportation
system
is
outlined
in
the
prismatic
report
from
january
2020,
and
everyone
knows
what
has
and
has
not
been
done
since
that
report
was
released.
M
It's
2021
six
years
since
the
software
was
purchased
in
over
a
year
since
the
audit
detailed
all
the
flaws
in
our
transportation
system
and
how
to
correct
each
one.
Aacps
continues
to
delay
implementing
most
of
the
recommendations
with
extra
resistance
to
shifting
to
new
school
start
times.
Our
county
is
no
different
than
others
around.
M
N
Okay,
good
evening,
it's
hika
hicks
one
week
ago
today
my
sons
and
I
were
taking
advantage
of
the
beautiful
weather
and,
while
on
our
walk,
my
boys
shared
with
me
their
plans
for
the
last
few
months
of
school.
It
was
a
conversation
initiated
by
them.
You
see,
prior
to
last
wednesday.
This
conversation
would
not
have
been
possible
due
to
all
the
anxiety
caused
by
the
uncertainty
of
what
was
going
to
happen
for
the
spring
semester.
N
There
were
a
lot
of
questions.
After
weeks
of
uncertainty,
we
finally
got
some
relief.
Standardized
testing
won't
happen
until
the
fall
more
teachers
are
being
vaccinated.
My
children
know
their
schedule
and
thank
goodness,
they
still
have
the
teachers
who
know
them.
Overall,
virtual
learning
has
been
a
positive
experience.
Nothing
is
without
its
challenges.
I
understand.
Hybrid
is
also
going
well.
I'm
proud
of
the
work
that
aacps,
my
children
and
the
teachers
have
and
are
doing.
I'm
telling
you
this
to
emphasize
the
importance
of
consistency
and
how
that
is
essential
for
our
mental
health
and
well-being.
N
I
could
see
on
my
children's
faces,
how
the
knowing
gave
them
a
sense
of
peace.
It
did
the
same
for
me,
but
that
was
short-lived
in
dr
alato's
op-ed
that
was
published
on
monday.
He
expressed
that
he
wants
to
change
things
before
the
end
of
the
school
year.
My
goodness,
dr
alato,
your
staff
is
just
working
out
the
details
of
the
current
plan.
N
Hybrid
students
in
four
grades
are
starting
this
monday,
the
22nd,
our
families
are
getting
settled
and
you
throw
this
on
us
so
here
I
am
once
again
pleading
to
this
board
to
not
make
any
more
changes.
We
have
been
dealing
with
so
much.
Let
us
breathe
help
my
sons
and
other
aacps
students
be
successful.
N
I
don't
think
I
have
to
explain
to
any
of
you
on
this
board
how
important
consistency
is
to
learning
you
are
all
either
parents,
former
educators
or
student.
Please,
let's
stay
the
course
for
the
remainder
of
the
school
year.
Ask
dr
arlatta
to
fork
to
focus
on
a
fall
reopening,
so
it
can
go
right
from
day
one.
There
are
many
details
that
must
be
worked
out
to
accommodate
full
student
population
within
the
school
buildings.
There
is
no
going
back
to
normal.
N
Aacps
can't
continue
to
do
what
it
was
doing
before
safety
requirements
must
be
met,
questions
regarding
sanitation,
ventilation,
safe,
so
social
interactions,
transportation
and
what
the
vaccination
requirements
would
now
look
like
must
be
answered,
given
the
size
of
our
district,
the
planning
for
the
fall
must
start
now.
No
more
changes
please
to
the
school
term.
Thank
you
and
I
hope
you
all
stay.
B
P
P
The
health
officer
says
it's
not
a
good
idea.
Well,
maybe
we
can
do
it
anyway.
Surveys
are
sent
out
parents
fret
about
what
to
choose.
No
cases
are
skyrocketing
back
to
fully
virtual
for
the
semester
change
the
schedule.
The
vaccine
hope
we
can
get
teachers
fully
vaccinated
before
bringing
them
back
never
mind.
The
governor
wants
kids
back
in
school
now.
Send
the
surveys
again
change
the
schedule
again.
Vaccine
manufacturing
is
delayed,
teachers
are
brought
back
into
buildings
without
vaccines.
P
A
hybrid
plan
goes
forth,
full
steam
ahead
administrators
work,
their
magic
and
many
are
able
to
create
schedules
in
which
teachers
are
only
having
to
teach
simultaneously.
Two
days
a
week,
buildings
are
opened
reports
of
joyful,
happy,
in-person
kids
are
frequent.
My
own
children,
who
are
remaining
virtual,
were
worried
about
what
it
would
be
like
to
have
a
teacher
pulled
in
two
directions.
P
They've
said:
there's
definitely
a
difference
on
the
hybrid
days,
but
they
said
it's
okay
for
just
two
days.
I
told
them.
This
should
be
the
last
big
change
of
the
school
year
and
we
all
breathed
a
sigh
of
relief.
We
were
joined
by
many
in
doing
so,
and
then
dr
arlatto
stated
in
the
capital
that
his
goal
is
to
get
students
into
buildings
four
days
a
week.
I
hope
it
is
clear
you
cannot
consider
opening
schools
four
days
a
week
without
reissuing
the
system-wide
survey.
P
Again
there
are
many
parents
who
chose
virtual
believing
only
two
days
a
week
would
be
disruptive.
Many
of
those
families
would
certainly
choose
to
send
their
children
to
school
four
days
a
week.
You
cannot
exclude
them
from
doing
so,
based
on
their
previous
choice
of
two
days,
but
reassuring.
The
surveys
again
will
mean
more
wasted,
administrator
time
figuring
out
classes.
P
It
may
mean
some
some
kids
have
to
chain
teachers
again,
it
would
likely
mean
teachers
and
students
who
are
doing
the
high
flex
schedule
only
two
days
a
week
would
now
have
to
do
it
four
days
a
week.
Please
do
not
wreak
havoc
on
our
system
again.
Focus
everyone's
energy
on
making
sure
the
current
hybrid
plan
remains
successful
and
everyone
stays
healthy
focus
on
getting
our
schools
open
five
days
a
week
in
the
fall,
but
please
let
our
students
learn
and
our
teachers
teach
without
introducing
additional
stress
into
an
already
very
stressful
year.
Thank
you.
S
Hello,
can
everyone
hear
me?
Yes,
okay,
thank
you.
If
you
know
our
family
we've
always
been
supportive
of
our
schools
and
staff.
When
school
shut
down
last
year,
we
supported
the
district's
decision
to
keep
our
family
safe
when
school
started
virtually
in
the
fall
we
made
the
best
of
it.
Our
children
jumped
into
virtual
learning.
S
I
supported
them
at
home
in
our
school
through
serving
on
the
pta,
and
I
even
contemplated
juggling
working
virtually
as
a
sub
in
a
household
with
four
kids,
a
work-at-home
husband
and
a
dog
just
to
help
meet
the
growing
need
of
subs
at
our
school.
When
the
hybrid
plan
was
announced,
we
were
thankful
for
a
virtual
option
and
our
children
have
flourished
despite
the
challenges
of
learning
online,
when
the
schedules
changed
the
first
time
we
pulled
up
our
pants,
we
made
an
adjustment
when
schools
reverted
to
their
normal
hours.
S
We
were
upset
with
having
to
rearrange
schedules
once
again,
but
we
ripped
up
the
old
schedules,
put
up
the
new
ones,
reset
our
reminder,
alarms
and
we
made
it
work,
and
now
we
are
hearing
that
there
could
be
more
changes
to
come.
Dr
alato
board
members,
I've
been
patient,
but
I'm
tired.
My
children
are
tired.
Their
teachers
and
school
staff
and
administrators
are
tired.
S
My
fellow
co-workers
are
tired.
My
husband
is
tired
of
hearing
me
talk
about
how
everybody's
tired
and
we
are
done-
we're
overcooked
we're
at
our
breaking
points,
and
I
don't
want
to
keep
anyone
else
from
being
able
to
get
what
they
need
for
their
own
child,
but
a
plan
was
made.
Families
made
choices
based
on
that
plan
and
it's
time
that
the
board
follows
through
and
stops
making
more
changes
we're
three
months,
and
I
counted
today
exactly
63
school
days
away
from
the
end
of
the
school
year.
S
Please
don't
waste
time,
upending
schedules
or
classes
or
teacher
assignments.
All
over
again.
Please
leave
the
plan
as
is,
and
focus
on
keeping
our
current
students
and
staff
in
the
building
safe,
developing
a
robust
summer
program
for
students
in
need
and
creating
a
clear,
strong
plan
for
the
fall
enough
is
enough.
B
Thank
you
and
finally,
this
evening
india,
oats.
M
India,
oaks
helsmer
elementary
in
the
recent
opinion
piece
dr
arlato
stated
he
hopes
to
reopen
schools
to
four
days
a
week
by
the
end
of
this
school
year,
focusing
on
the
opening
to
four
days
a
week
with
only
three
months
left
of
school
would
be
putting
blinders
on
to
the
actual
needs
of
tens
of
thousands
of
families
and
teachers.
We
all
are
human.
M
Most
families
do
not
have
the
ability
to
just
switch
work
and
child
care
needs
to
accommodate
a
hybrid
schedule,
and
all
you
will
be
doing
is
expanding
the
inequity
gap
as
flawed
as
aacps
remains
in
its
policies.
My
son
is
one
of
those
smiling
hybrid
kids.
Yet
the
fact
my
son
needs
to
be
in
school
and
I
have
a
job
that
allows
me.
Flexibility
that
I
have
a
car
and
health
insurance
does
not
take
priority
over
the
thousands
of
families
who
are
not
so
lucky
and
can't
break
routine.
M
B
T
T
T
T
T
Please
utilizing
guidance
from
sources
such
as
the
cdc,
the
american
academy
of
pediatrics,
the
american
psychological
association
and
the
collective
experience
and
expertise
of
the
cac
committee
members.
We
present
our
six
recommended
pillars
of
an
aacps
whole
child
wellness
lens
next
slide,
so
the
first
examines
physical
wellness
and
health.
T
This
incorporates
aspects
such
as
the
safety
and
emergency
preparedness
in
our
schools,
which
ensures
not
only
the
necessary
technology
and
infrastructure
to
keep
kids
safe,
but
also
ensures
that
the
practice
of
emergency
preparedness
drills
is
done
at
developmentally
appropriate
levels
and
with
the
emotional
well-being
of
our
students
in
mind.
It
also
includes
health
measures
such
as
ensuring
the
cleanliness
of
our
buildings,
providing
provision
of
nursing
services,
but
also
health
education
services
to
increase
awareness
and
reduce
stigma
of
common
conditions
in
our
schools.
T
T
The
second
addresses
social
and
emotional
well-being
of
our
youth.
This
includes
promoting
positive
peer
interactions,
as
well
as
positive
student
staff
interactions,
provision
of
high
quality
mental
health
services
in
our
schools,
both
proactively
and
reactively,
the
implementation
of
research,
supported
bullying
and
suicide
prevention
programs
and
implementation
of
necessary
diversity
and
inclusion
practices,
thus
allowing
students
a
safe
place
for
identity,
development
and
self-expression
next
slide.
T
The
third
and
fourth
incorporate
developmental
and
cognitive
or
academic
needs,
with
consideration
for
both
the
typically
developing
child
at
various
educational
levels,
but
also
are
neurodiverse
students
who
may
have
different
developmental
or
academic
needs.
This
includes
an
emphasis
on
consistency
and
developmentally
appropriate
transitions.
T
Next
slide
and
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
we
emphasize
the
necessity
of
staff
and
teacher
well-being
as
having
a
direct
impact
on
our
students,
learning
and
social
emotional
well-being.
The
provision
of
teacher
trainings
for
things
such
as
general
classroom
management,
behavior
management
for
special
needs,
children,
implicit
bias,
etc.
T
Has
a
profound
effect
on
our
students
and
research
has
clearly
emphasized
that
employees
who
feel
valued
and
supported
and
who
are
able
to
focus
on
their
own
health
and
well-being
are
significantly
more
successful.
Overall,
our
teachers
truly
are
what
makes
aacps
awesome,
and
this
has
been
consistently
highlighted
throughout
this
pandemic.
T
B
Thank
you
miss
newman
or
dr
newman.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation
and
I
I
did
have
a
chance
to
read
through
the
the
entire,
the
detailed
report
and
just
another
amazingly
excellent
product
from
the
cac.
B
The
the
time
and
effort
and
thoroughness
that
went
into
the
research
and
the
collaboration
is
it's
apparent
as
you
read
through,
and
this
is
certainly
a
topic-
that's
been
very
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
and
I
know
my
fellow
board
members
as
well,
so
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
and
and
express
our
gratitude,
and
please
share
that
with
the
entire
committee
and
that.
Q
B
Thank
you.
That
being
said,
I
will
go
around
and
see
if
there's
any
questions
or
comments
for
you
and
I'll
begin
with
miss.
B
V
I
have
no
comments
at
this
time,
but
I
do
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
did
read
the
report
and
there
are
a
lot
of
really
great
things
in
there,
and
you
know
I
especially
like
that
we
looked
at
safety
and
sleep
and
nutrition
and
exercise
and
and
some
of
these,
these
ideas
that
a
lot
of
the
board
members
have
talked
about
meeting
after
meeting
and
really
just
sort
of
consolidated
that
so
I
do
appreciate.
G
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
dr
newman,
and
I
want
to
echo
everyone
else's
thanks.
This
is
another
extraordinary
report,
also
a
subject
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
thought
obviously
it
covered.
It
was
extensive
and
I
was
so
glad
of
that.
G
My
own
view
has
always
been
that
the
well-being
of
the
whole
child
has
to
be
the
ground
on
which
academic
progress
occurs,
not
the
other
way
around,
and
so
I
I
just
asked
if
you
have
any
additional
thoughts,
you'd
like
to
share
with
us
as
to
how
this
should
be
used
going
forward.
I
mean,
as
a
lens
I'm
thinking
of
something
along
the
lines
of
the
equity
lens
that
we
use,
but
also
kind
of
like
in
legislative
work.
G
There's
a
fiscal
note
right
that
that
is
attached
to
every
board
that
says:
here's
what
the
impact
will
be
and
that's
sort
of
what
comes
to
my
mind,
but
I'm
just
curious
if
you
have
any
additional
thoughts,
you'd
like
to
share.
T
Now
I
I
think
that
would
be
kind
of
the
ideal
to
have
whenever
a
new
policy
or
procedure
comes
up,
that
that's
kind
of
the
last
question:
okay
from
a
wellness
lens.
What
what
are
we
missing
or
what?
What
could
we
add
to
this
in
order
to
further
enhance
this
by
again
kind
of
looking
at
those
six
key
areas
and
how
it
affects
whatever
the
particular
topic
is.
T
G
I
I
couldn't
agree
more
and
I
hope
we
as
a
board
will
pursue
that.
But
again
I
read
the
entire
report.
I
want
to
thank
you
and
your
colleagues
who
put
it
together
and
say
that
I
think
it's
tremendously
valuable
and
it's
we
take
the
baton
and
now
it's
our
job
to
keep
it
moving
forward.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you
and
next
miss
corcodel
and
miss
corcodale.
I
want
to
point
out
that
this
this
work
got
done
or
got
started
under
under
your
leadership
and
direction,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
kicking
that
off.
W
Yeah,
okay,
I'm
a
double
clicker.
What
can
I
say?
No
it!
This
was
a
team
effort
and
I
think
it
goes
along
in
tandem
with
the
conversation
that
is
on
so
many
people's
minds
and
that's
the
wellness
of
our
family.
The
wellness
of
our
community
and
rcac.
Has
people
don't
recognize.
W
You
know
they're
that
group
in
the
background
that
just
comes
visits
us,
but
they
have
a
broad,
diverse
group
that
has
brought
so
much
to
the
table,
particularly
in
wellness
and
the
whole
child
conversations,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
hard
work.
This
is
one
of
the
most
dedicated
bunch
of
volunteers
and
group
and
their
commitment
to
one
another
and
their
leaders
and
our
colleagues
is
a
true
testament,
as
we
see
continue
to
see
these
outcomes
that
will
guide
us.
W
I
don't
have
any
questions
for
you
guys,
because
I
know
you
were
in
good
hands
throughout
the
course
and
the
thoroughness
of
your
report
and
the
opportunities
that
it
now
presents
to
us.
I'm
definitely
looking
forward
to
in
the
coming
months
and
in
the
coming
years,
and
hopefully
in
a
couple
years,
we
can
ask
you
guys
to
look
back
and
maybe
give
us
a
score
of
how
well
we're
doing.
And
I
will
look
forward
to.
W
I'm
a
self-evaluation
fan,
so
I
look
forward
to
that
next
step
and
in
the
interim
I
know
it
will
serve
us.
Thank
you.
B
Next,
mr
silkworth.
X
I
can
tell
you
that
this
wellness
lens
will
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
many
of
our,
not
just
our
students,
but
also
our
staff.
I
did
have
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
attend
the
cac
meeting
and
I
I
agree
with
miss
corcodell,
the
folks
that
serve
are
so
dedicated
and
there
are
such
a
wide
variety
of
expertise
there
and
the
wellness
of
the
whole
child
should
be
one
of
our
number
one
focuses,
and
so
I
would,
I
noticed
on
one
of
the
graphics
that
word
awesome.
T
C
No
comments.
I
just
want
to
comment
on
the
awesome
work
of
the
cac
here,
dr
newman,
please
send
my
thanks
to
the
entire
rest
of
the
committee
that
worked
on
this,
because
I'm
sure
we
all
are
well
aware
that,
especially
at
this
time,
mental
health,
especially
among
our
students,
is
very,
very
important
and
just
as
a
student
who
has
seen
the
firsthand
effects
of
you,
know
my
fellow
peers,
when
they're
struggling
or
when
they're
on
their
good
days.
It
just
goes
to
show
that's
going
to
leave
you
all
with
this.
C
H
Yeah,
thank
you
not
to
steal
anyone
else's
thunder,
but
I
I
couldn't
there's
no
way.
I
could
say
it
better
than
the
rest
of
my
colleagues.
Thank
you
for
this
fabulous
piece
of
work
and
I
read
through
it
in
its
entirety
as
well
and
was
very
very
impressed.
We
absolutely
need
to
implement
this
and
it
gives
us
a
lot
to
chew
on
and
to,
and
you
know
and
to
move
forward
with,
and
I
hope
to
see
this
attached
to
other
upcoming
agendas.
H
We
can
figure
out
ways
to
implement
it
immediately
and-
and
I
just
thank
you
for
your
work,
I
think
the
cac
just
really
incredible
stuff
thanks.
B
You're
welcome
and
miss
antwine
had
stepped
away.
Ms
antwine
would
would
you
like
to
say
or
ask
any
questions.
B
Ms
anfein
gives
her
thanks
as
well
and
yeah
once
again,
a
big
thank
you.
This
obviously,
is
only
the
beginning,
but
it
is
a
remarkable
beginning,
some
something
that
we
can
really
use
and
there's
so
many
directions
so
many
ways
you
know
we
could
choose
to
pursue
this,
so
I
know
the
conversations
will
be
had.
I
have
no
doubt
we
will
see
this
and
aspects
of
this
on
our
agendas
in
the
future.
Thanks
thanks
to
your
great
work.
B
We
are
going
to
take
one
moment,
sorry,
just
making
sure
I
got
this
right,
we're
going
to
take
just
a
two
minute
recess,
because
we're
going
to
switch
formats
now
to
we'll
be
live
in
person
in
the
room.
Thank.

We
are
back-
and
we
are
now
on
item
4.02,
george
fox
middle
school,
historical
renaming
evaluation
committee
report
and
with
us
this
evening.
We
have
this
wonderful
committee
and
we
want
to
thank
you
for
being
here.
D
U
U
I
would
now
like
to
officially
introduce
the
members
of
the
committee,
all
of
whom
wanted
to
be
president
tonight
to
present
our
findings
and
recommendation
again
for
the
record.
My
name
is
tony
spencer,
chair
of
this
committee
and
former
vice
president
of
the
anne
arundel
county
school
board
in
anne
arundel.
So
members.
U
V
AD
O
O
AD
Fox's
primary
legacy
is
traced
to
the
1937
lawsuit
filed
by
the
naacp
on
behalf
of
walter
mills
and
the
anne
arundel
county
public
schools.
Black
educators,
who
have
paid
less
than
those
of
white
teachers
beginning
in
the
1920s
surrounding
school
districts,
began
to
remove
race
as
a
determining
factor
in
salary
scale,
but
aacps
under
the
direction
of
fox,
did
not
choose
to
follow
other
districts.
AD
AD
Education
levels
paid
less
white
teachers
with
less
credentials,
as
the
case
made
its
way
through
the
court
system
fox
was
adamant
that
he
was
not
going
to
propose
raising
the
pay
of
black
teachers,
as
that
would
mean
reducing
the
pay
of
white
teachers.
In
response
to
pressure
concerning
the
pay
issue,
fox
is
reported
to
have
said
that
he
would
not
pay
any
quite
quote.
Colored
teacher
unquote
as
much
as
he
paid
any
white
teacher,
because
his
quote
poorest
white
teacher
was
a
better
teacher
than
his
best
color
teacher.
AC
He
minimized
efforts
by
the
district
to
teach
education
of
black
and
white
students.
Equally
fox
was
a
product
of
his
time,
but
his
time
also
included
school
districts
around
maryland
and
the
county.
The
county
that
were
making
strides
to
address
racial
inequities
and
fox
did
not
choose
to
advocate
for
the
fair
treatment
of
black
and
white
teachers
and
students
in
an
equitable
manner.
Y
Diversity
is
invited,
nurtured
and
celebrated
and
that
all
students
are
prepared
for
college
career
and
community.
The
primary
legacy
of
george
fox,
as
explained
previously
rests
with
a
legacy
of
inequity.
A
legacy
of
inequity
goes
directly
against
the
mission,
vision
and
values
of
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools.
AC
As
we
deliberated
on
question
three,
we
concluded
that,
due
to
george
fox
documented
stance
on
the
value
of
black
educators
in
black
education,
he
would
not
inspire
current
students
to
strive
for
individual
and
collective
excellence.
If
anything,
his
legacy
could
drive
students
apart
as
he
repeatedly
modeled
a
lack
of
inclusion
or
appreciation
of
diversity
within
his
work.
Z
Z
These
students
would
have
experienced
margin,
marginalization
and
a
lack
of
priority
under
the
leadership
of
george
fox.
Examining
this
legacy
would
not
bring
a
sense
of
acceptance
or
inclusion
to
these
students,
but
instead
continue
to
build
the
web
of
systematic
racism
that
they
have
already
experienced.
AD
This
division
was
along
racial
lines
through
his
direct
actions
and
testimony
as
superintendent
george
fox
was
superintendent
from
1916
to
1946
and,
yes,
he
is
credited
with
moving
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
from
a
19th
century
model
to
a
20th
century
one,
but
the
20th
century
model
that
he
championed
was
built
on
jim
crow
and
segregationist
policies
and
practices
that
still
impact
our
school
system
today
and
are
the
foundations
of
the
opportunity
gap
that
this
school
board
is
currently
working
with.
The
community
on
overcoming
our
african-american
and
other
students
of
color
deserve
better.
AA
AA
The
committee
was
tasked
with
researching
the
name
of
george
fox
middle
school
and
to
make
a
recommendation
as
to
whether
the
school
should
be
renamed
based
upon
the
review
of
the
available
evidence
and
the
answers
to
our
guiding
questions.
The
committee's
recommendation
is
that
george
fox
middle
school
should
be
renamed.
AA
We
want
to
be
clear
that
as
a
committee,
we
do
not
view
this
recommendation
as
part
of
the
so-called
cancel
culture.
We
view
this
recommendation
as
doing
right
by
children
whenever
possible.
We
as
adults,
have
to
provide
examples
to
students
to
promote
acceptance
and
inclusion
to
have
students
sit
in
a
building
named
for
a
man
who
championed
jim
crow
and
segregationist
policies
and
structures
does
not
align
with
aacps
core
value
of
all
means.
All
thank
you.
B
V
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
all
for
the
time
that
you
put
into
this.
I
mean
it's
very
evident
that
you
guys
really
researched
the
history,
and
I
do
appreciate
that
I
do
see
a
couple
of
familiar
faces
from
pasadena,
so
I'm
I
appreciate
that
we
had
at
least
one
or
two
folks
from
the
community
on
this
on
this
committee.
I
don't
have
any
questions
right
now,
but
I
would
like
to-
and
everyone
has
had
a
chance
to
speak,
to
possibly
make
a
motion.
U
Before
anyone
else
speaks
I'd
just
like
to
thank
first
of
all
dr
lotto
for
giving
me
the
opportunity,
it
means
a
lot
that
I
can
still
be
a
part
of
the
community
having
been
on
the
school
board,
but
also
being
having
been
raised.
U
I
didn't
think
about
this
until
after
some
of
the
reports
came
in
from
folks
who
actually
went
to
school
at
george
fox
that
was
born
and
raised
in
jim
crow
initially,
and
it
didn't
hit
me
until
I
heard
their
stories
and
some
didn't
want
to
share
their
stories,
that
how
painful
was
for
those
who
held
back
but
then
someone
one
person
decided
to
do
it
anyway.
He
got
the
writing.
He
couldn't
stop
and
then
I
said,
wait
a
minute
I
was
in
that
time
frame.
U
U
U
I
said
this
to
them
out
in
a
quarter.
It
was
kind
of
a
joke
but
hear
this
I
left
at
my
father
because
he
was
bar-headed
and
all
he
said
was
live
long
enough,
and
I
said
what
does
he
mean
by
that
you
know.
So
the
thing
is
the
point
was
your
turn
is
coming,
your
time
is
coming
and
just
because
you
aren't
hurting
now
your
time
is
coming.
U
U
B
G
G
W
Well,
that
would
be
incredibly
hard
to
follow
in
and
of
itself,
and
I
definitely
don't
want
to
reiterate
sentiments
that
I
think
we
all
share,
but
I
do
want
to
personally
acknowledge
and
recognize
and
thank
each
and
every
single
member
of
the
committee
and
the
community
who
is
willing
to
come
together
for
this.
These
are
hard
conversations
in
hard
times
and
I
gotta
say
when
miss
hummer
brought
it
to
my
attention.
W
W
U
Before
we
go
to
any
further
questions,
could
I
make
another
comment?
I'm
the
I'm
older
than
this
young
lady,
I'm
going
to
mention
first
but
she's.
My
big
sister
run
the
pill,
nil,
trolls
man,
she
said,
call
me
any
air
of
the
night.
I
said
you
got
to
be
kidding,
don't
call
me
any
air
of
the
night,
but
she
meant
that
and
anything
I
needed
from
her
to
get
a
better
understanding.
U
She
she
provided
eve
case.
She
provided
dr
shannon
provided
janice
is
going
to
provide
it
if
you
don't
want
to
hear
it,
but
janice
has
a
major
history
and
commitment
to
this,
because
she
had
a
family
member
along
with
valerie
mills
cooper
and
I'd
like
to
tell
you
that
valerie
mills
cooper
is
the
daughter,
mr
walter
s,
mills.
U
She
also
worked
at
george
fox
and
genesis
williams,
mother.
Mrs
virginia
hayes
worked
for
george
fox.
We
had
a
lot
of
contributing
people
who
you
may
not
see
on
paper,
but
have
made
this
come
alive
and
by
giving
us
the
information
and
having
respected
what
they've
asked
us
to
do
that.
It
not
be
said
outside
the
context
of
this
requirement
of
the
report.
I
respected
that
the
oh
great,
the
reporter,
I
forgot
her
name
now.
U
I'm
sorry
called
me
this
evening
from
the
capitol
and
I
wouldn't
go
beyond
a
certain
form,
because
I
didn't
have
permission
to
go
past
at
a
certain
point,
and
I
wanted
her
to
understand
that
what
needs
to
be
reported,
we're
going
to
say
certain
things
tonight
and
then
the
school
system
would
do
the
rest,
but
I
wasn't
going
to
go
beyond
a
certain
point
having
been
on
the
school
board
before
they
said.
U
How
hard
is
it
today
for
you
to
stand
by
yourself
during
desegregation?
Okay,
how
hard
you
think
it
was
for
him
doing
segregation
to
do
it,
knowing
that
he
may
lose
everything
and
that's
why
we're
here
tonight,
because
that's
the
kind
of
soul,
that's
kind
of
heart
we
have
so
I
want
to
thank
those
people
specifically.
U
I
know
I
didn't
mention
everybody
by
name,
but
gracious
you
have
such
a.
I
said
it
before.
I
can't
say
it
enough
eve.
Thank
you.
U
I
keep
getting
people
mixed
up
because
the
first
time
I
saw
their
faces,
but
I
want
to
just
want
to
say
that
everyone
contributed
a
major
part
to
this,
and
it's
no
small
thing.
I
was
asked
one
question:
would
this
be
the
model
for
any
other
school
that
needed
to
be
changed,
and
I
couldn't
answer
that
all
I
could
say
is
that
when
dr
shannon
gave
us
this
information,
it
was
so
it's
so
much
to
add
to
the
report
and
have
a
standard
to
go
by
okay.
U
AD
I
I
have
one
this
is
rhonda
again.
I
have
one
one
comment
to
make
and
we
talk
about
trauma
and
that's
a
huge
word
recently,
but
we've
had
a
lot
of
unresolved
trauma
as
a
result
of
what
has
happened
over
the
past
several
decades
and
I'll
speak
for
myself.
Personally,
I'm
gonna
tell
about
a
few
years
ago.
AD
It
has
really
been,
and
I
I
can
speak
for
annapolis,
of
course,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
of
reasons,
but
one
particular
one
is
why
we
have
so
many
subsidized
and
public
housing
communities
within
our
city.
This
has
been
a
direct
impact
on
that
and
the
trauma
has
contributed
to
that
as
well.
So
thank
you
all
so
very
much
for
your
time
for
the
opportunity,
a
great
great
group
that
we
work
with.
I
can't
say
it
enough.
C
I
just
want
to
say
this
was
well
first.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
all
for
this,
because
I
think
this
needed
to
happen
and
two
was
very
interesting
right,
this
terrible
history
to
read
about,
but
it's
very
interesting.
I
hope
that
this
is
just
the
start
not
of
just
renaming
schools,
but
maybe
the
formation
of
like
a
aacps
history
committee,
because
I
just
think
that
the
local
history
is
often
overlooked
and
just
from
stories
from
my
grandparents
and
their
generation.
C
It's
a
lot
of
history
to
unpack
there,
and
I
think
students
would
really
benefit
from
it
going
forward
and
it's
funny.
She
just
went
in
the
bathroom,
but
I
often
enjoy
reading
miss
some
haze
williams
posts
in
the
in
this
one
facebook
group,
where
she's
often
talking
about
local
annapolis
history,
and
it's
just
that
unknown
history.
I
think
we
need
to
really
be
kept
alive.
I
just
want
to
comment
on
you
know
mr
fox's
legacy.
C
It
was
not
just
his
words
but
his
actions.
According
to
the
report
given
to
the
board,
he
not
find
the
color.
He
did
not
fund
the
colored
schools
of
the
county
and
I
think
it
just
goes
to
show
that
you
know
the
man
was
truly
a
racist
and
we
were
talking
about
his
impact
and
his
legacy
and
what
that
did
to
some
students.
Some
students
were
either
forced
to
pick
between
going
to
school
or
you
know,
making
making
a
long
walk
or
just
not
going
to
school.
I'll.
C
Tell
you
one
of
those
students
that
had
to
make
a
long
walk
was
my
grandfather.
He
he
lived.
He
was
born
and
raised
in
luffy
and
still
lives
down
there
and
he
had
to
walk
to
bates
high
school
some
days,
because
you
know
the
bus
just
did
not
come,
and
for
me
I
just
I
don't
like
walking
to
the
bus
stop.
C
I
can't
imagine
walking
all
the
way
to
school
and
just
another
thing
it
says,
dakota
report
is
impossible
to
determine
the
far-reaching
effects
of
mr
fox's
personal
biases,
but
but
I
think
we
can
measure
them
in
his
attempt
to
keep
black
students
subjugated
and
lesser
than
their
white
counterparts.
C
I
think
he
ended
up
making
them
more
resilient.
I'm
going
back
to
my
grandfather,
his
generation
they're,
just
a
resilient
group
of
people
that
I
hope
you
know
going
forward.
Our
students
can
truly
learn
about
them.
I'm
sure
miss
case.
You
can
appreciate
this.
You
know
for
our
national
history
day
competition.
C
Maybe
we
could
do
something
like
a
local
history
day,
competition
right
where
students
have
to
research
a
local
hero.
You
know
an
interesting
figure
in
this
report
was
miss
sarah
v
jones.
You
know,
I
heard
her
name
briefly
because
she's
just
one
line
on
the
board
outside.
If
you
see
walking
in
of
all
the
superintendents,
you
know,
I
think
that's
just
just
very
interesting.
So
once
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
this
for
this
report
and
I
really
want
to
thank
miss
hummer.
C
I
hope
she
gets
a
chance
to
speak.
You
know
for
bringing
this
up
because
I
do
remember
in
july
of
last
year,
when
I
first
got
elected
the
board,
I
was
actually
at
my
uncle's
pool
and
she
called
me
and
she
was
like
hey
here's,
my
here's.
What
I'm
thinking
about
george
fox,
I
said
oh
yeah.
C
That
makes
a
lot
of
sense,
and
that
now
here
we
are,
I
just
think,
miss
hummer
and
you,
mr
spencer,
you
really
showed
me
that
you
know
just
because
you're,
a
former
board
member
doesn't
mean
that
you
fade
away
just
keep
coming
back
for
more
that's
right.
Thank
you.
All.
U
Let
me
say
something
to
you
and
don't
think
just
because
you're
younger,
please
everyone
hear
this,
that
we
can't
learn
from
you
speak
truth
to
power.
The
truth
is
not
going
to
change
and
many
times
people
think
that,
because
you're
younger
you're,
a
male
you're,
a
black
male
you're,
a
woman
you're
asian
or
whatever
that
you
can't
teach
them
anything,
you
keep
speaking
truth
keep
speaking
truth
because
the
day
I
stop
learning
is
the
day
I
die
and
the
more
I
realize
more.
I
I
don't
know
so
share
what
you
know.

H
B
Q
AF
The
opportunity
before
you
close
this
out,
so
of
course
it's
a
it's
a
big
thank
you,
but
this
is
important
work
on
several
levels,
certainly,
first
and
foremost,
it's
the
content
that
you
were
wrapping
your
arms
around
that
you
were
researching
that
you
were
struggling
with
as
a
committee
for
the
good
of
this
county.
So
it's
the
content
that
is
first
and
foremost
led
us
to
your
work.
AF
AF
Let's
do
it
well,
let's
do
it
right,
and
this
will
lead
us
into
the
future
and
then,
lastly,
and
and
it's
probably
going
to
be
one
of
the
highlights
of
my
time
in
anne
arundel
county-
was
the
ability
to
make
suggestions
about
who
we
could
put
together
to
form
the
committee
and
seeing
the
relationships
that
have
developed
amongst
you
and
the
work
that
you
were
able
to
produce,
and
so.
AF
I
didn't
think
of
mr
spencer
immediately
that
suggestion
was
put
into
the
back
of
my
head,
and
I
thought
this
is
a
fabulous
suggestion.
Let
me
call
him
on
the
phone
and
see
what
he
says
and
he
didn't
hesitate,
and
I
know
that's
no
surprise
to
you
if
you're
even
meeting
him
for
the
first
time
we
have
known
each
other
a
couple
of
years
in
passing
through
this
county.
AF
Not
only
is
he
a
long-time
member
of
this
community
and
a
former
member
of
this
school
board,
but
an
artist
and
a
performer
of
of
some
renown
and
when
the
suggestion
was
made
to
me-
and
I
got
the
chance
to
reconnect
over
the
phone
and
you
didn't
hesitate
and
we
immediately
began
to
brainstorm
to
say
what
might
this
look
like
and,
most
importantly,
who
do
we
put
together
to
do
the
work,
including
miss
pindell,
charles
who's,
who's,
not
with
us
physically,
and
so
I
thank
you
for
that.
AF
I
thank
each
of
you.
This
is
important
work,
the
content.
This
is
important
work
in
helping
us
move
forward
into
the
future
and
creating
the
process
and
I'm
delighted
in
the
relationships
that
were
built,
because
when
you
put
the
right
people
together,
they
can
move
mountains
and
so
know
how
much
that's
appreciated.
And
so
thank
you
for
a
minute
to
say
a
word
or
two,
and
I
look
forward
to
spending
some
more
time
together.
U
May
I
see
something
else
before
we
go.
This
comes
from
margaret
mead.
Never
think
that
a
small
group
of
concerned
citizens
can't
make
a
difference,
usually
they're
the
only
ones
they
can
and
so
having
the
opportunity
to
speak
forward.
I
have
to
thank
also
president
jackie,
also
she's,
the
president
of
the
naacp,
and
I
actually
act
a
lot
of
who
we
involved
in
the
naacp
because
of
their
history
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
accomplish,
and
also
valerieville's
mills
cooper.
U
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
and
I
I
have
to
say
imagining
you
playing
performing
and
playing
a
character
like
that.
I'm
I
have
no
doubt
it
was
captivating
and
I
would
love
to
have
seen
that
and
again
so
many
have
said
so
much
there's
there's
little.
I
can
add
because
it
was
all
said
so
well,
but
your
work
is
much
appreciated
and
I
have
to
mention
ms
hummer,
who
is
with
us
here
this
evening
and
thank
you
for
starting
us
down
this
path.
B
And
miss
frank
would
like
yes.
V
I
have
a
couple
of
things
that
I
would
like
to
say
to
preface
this.
I
I
would
not
support
an
active
or
ongoing
investigation
into
all
schools,
but
when
community
members
come
to
board
members
with
concerns,
the
appropriate
response
is
to
investigate
and
possibly
reevaluate
what
is
appropriate,
evaluating
someone's
life
decades
after
their
death
and
using
a
historical
perspective
is
not
something
that
I
I
think
that
we
should
engage
in
more
often
than
is
truly
necessary.
V
To
that
end,
it
is
my
suggestion
that
we
encourage
using
geographical
names
in
as
much
as
possible.
It
was
welcome
to
hear
from
this
committee
that
there
is
not
an
interest
in
supporting
cancel
culture.
This
is
not
a
fictional
skunk,
and
this
was
not
a
subjective
one-time
comment.
V
When
we
find
instances
of
true
racism,
we
should
acknowledge
it,
and
we
should
acknowledge
that
it
requires
a
high
bar,
but
we
also
need
to
acknowledge
that
the
board
is
ultimately
responsible
for
having
have
named
the
school
george
fox,
not
the
community,
and
there
is
pride
in
our
community,
and
I
would
like
to
ask
this
committee
if
it
would
be
appropriate
or
or
ask
dr
arlatto.
V
AF
Like
so
many
schools,
it
is
in
an
intricate
part
of
the
neighborhood
right
of
the
community,
putting
the
name
aside.
It
is
the
school
itself
where
people
attended
and
have
memories
and
and
and
took
place
in
learning,
and
so
what's
appropriate
to
recognize
that
past.
I
I
don't
know,
but
it's
it's
certainly
worthy
of
a
of
a
conversation
of
us
continue
to
have
that
conversation.
AF
But
if
the
decision
by
this
board
is
to
explore
the
possibility
of
renaming
the
school,
that
would
be
done
through
a
process
that
is
dictated
by
policy
and
regulatory
language
that
this
board
boards.
AF
Offers
and
proffers
the
values
of
this
school
system.
So
I
think
it's
a
great
question.
I
think
it's
worthy
of
a
continued
conversation
about
how
we
honor
that
history.
While
we
are
moving
forward.
V
I
think
that
was
very
well
stated.
I
appreciate
your
perspective
on
that
and
to
further
continue
with
what
I
had
requested
of
president
ellis,
I
moved
to
adopt
the
recommendation
of
the
george
fox
middle
school,
historical
renaming
evaluation
committee
to
change
the
name
of
george
fox
middle
school
to
reflect
the
values
of
the
community,
understanding
that
the
pasadena
community
will
recommend
a
new
name
for
the
board
to
consider
for
approval.
A
B
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
and
multiple
seconds,
and
so
is
the
board
interested
in
engaging
in
discussion
or
will
we
stand
with
our
comments
and
go
ahead
and
vote
all
right.
AB
C
AF
That
is
so.
That
is
not
so
it's
a
great
question.
The
the
what
would
take
place
next
would
be
the
renaming
process,
much
like
when
we
those
are
either
familiars.
We
named
the
new
crofton
high
school
or
when
we
named
a
number
of
years
ago,
the
new
nantucket
elementary
school
there's,
a
process
by
which
the
community
will
be
engaged
and
involved.
AF
A
great
deal
will
count
on
the
pta
to
do
much
of
that
work
and
bring
the
community
together.
How
we'll
bring
the
community
together
in
this
current
environment?
We're
gonna
have
to
work
on
that.
We
won't
be
able
to
have
a
meeting
of
700
people
in
the
gym
like
we
did
it
right.
AF
So
we'll
have
to
work
on
that,
but
you
do
ask
a
good
question
regarding
the
mascot
or
school
colors:
that's
not
part
of
a
renaming,
that's
left
to
the
local
community,
the
local
school
regarding
a
mascot
school
colors
and
those
kinds
of
things.
AF
The
it
would
be
the
principal
could
engage
the
school,
the
students
regarding
a
school
mascot,
which
is
say
again
how
that
occurred.
Once
we
came
up
with
a
name
for
crofton
high
school,
the
principal
then
began
and
engaged
students
that
would
be.
She
actually
went
down
to
the
middle
school,
where
the
students
were
soon
to
be
crofton
high
school
students
and
engaged
them
in
a
series
of
conversations
and
votes
about
mascots.
U
U
So
I
would
ask
you
to
consider
having
a
broader
range
of
folks,
as
you
did
for
this
committee,
to
be
a
part
of
that.
I
had
to
be
very
objective
with
this.
I
was
on
it
when
dr
olado
asked
me
I'd,
be
very
honest
with
you.
After
that,
what
bothered
me
was
the
fact
I
had
a
cousin
who
was
killed
in
that
community.
U
And
I
learned
on
the
school
board
and
darren
will
tell
you
the
role
here
for
the
school
board
members.
I
want
you
to
hear
this,
I'm
not
trying
to
edge
trying
to
educate
you,
but
first
fiduciary
and
the
guide,
the
government
and
the
plan
to
learn
your
role,
not
to
intimidate
a
school
teacher,
but
I'm
a
school
board.
I'd
get
your
school
board
member
I'll
get
you
fired,
because
some
of
the
members
have
done
that.
If
you
haven't
done
that
yet
I
hope
you
don't
grow
to
that
level,
but
they've
done
that.
U
U
So
I
would
ask
you
to
consider
reaching
out
to
the
community
at
large,
along
with
that
community,
because
other
folks
hope
the
folks
that
gave
us
our
testimonies
don't
live
in
that
community.
Now
now
my
family
on
my
mother's
side,
are
from
pasadena
very
entrenched
with
that
and
that's
why,
when
the
incidents
happened
at
chesapeake,
I
volunteered
to
go
down
there,
then
my
wife
went
with
me
and
the
northern
arundel
culture
preservation
society.
U
Members
nate
capps,
went
with
me,
so
you
have
other
people
in
the
community
that
have
been
affected
by
it
with
issues
that
never
were
resolved.
So
we
need
to
have,
I
think,
a
broader
perspective
than
just
that
community
to
have
a
voice
because
he
was
the
superintendent
for
the
entire
school
system
and
I
was
affected
by
the
first
and
second
third
grades
until
we
moved
to
freetown
marley
naked
elementary
on
sally
road.
U
U
AE
You
mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
there
are
a
bunch
of
angels
here
that
worked
for
george
fox,
including
my
mother,
who
was
insulted
by
him,
because
she
was
too
smart
you're
not
supposed
to
be
that
smart
you're
black
you're,
not
a
white
teacher.
So
in
this
process
I
talked
to
some
of
his
former
teachers.
AE
AE
AE
AE
B
B
A
A
A
A
A
AH
A
B
B
And
we
are
back
before
we
move
on
to
section
five.
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment,
though
we
had
no
formal
recognitions
prepared
for
this
evening.
There
is
something
the
board
did
want
to
mention.
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
dr
tobin.
G
G
B
Congratulations
indeed,
I
I
think
it'd
be
great
some
time
to
have
a
presentation
on
on
our
partnership
with
ae
cc.
B
And
parents,
if
you're
listening
talk
to
your
students,
I
mean
what
an
incredible
option
we
have
in
this
county
to
to
get
that
start
at
the
next
level
for
students.
So
thank
you
for
mentioning
that,
and
now
we
have.
We
are
on
section
five
consent
items
a
word
of
contracts,
beginning
with
5.01,
emerging
or
sorry,
energy
management,
control
system,
programming,
prisoners.
B
B
Well,
there's
a
member
who
who
would
like
to
I,
I
think,
discuss
that
one
separately
so
sure
would
you
like
to
bundle
5.01
to
5.06
sure.
C
AF
C
B
Okay,
emotion
in
a
second
I'm
gonna
visually
go
around
first.
Do
we
need
to
go
around
do
any
questions
or
discussion?
AF
B
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
we'll
go
around
for
questions
or
discussion.
B
Oh
no,
no
worries
so
miss
frank,
miss
corcodell,
anything.
W
Yeah
I
just
I
did
have
one
or
two
questions
just
for
staff,
because
this,
of
course,
is
not
something
that
we
originally
anticipated
in
our
budget,
and
so
I
just
wondered
if
staff
could
maybe
share
just
sort
of
a
fiscal
snapshot
of
how
you
know
where
the
money
kind
of
you
know
where
the
money
is
coming
from
and
what
it's
going.
You
know
a
little
bit
more
about
the
fiscal
impact
on
that.
AI
AI
Let
me
begin
with
corkado:
I'm
alex
shaknovich's
chief
operating
officer
and
I'll
make
a
couple
introductory
remarks
and
then
matt
stansky,
the
director
of
financial
operations,
will
bring
up
the
the
other
half
of
the
conversation.
So
we
we
have
analyzed
the
the
contract
and
believe
it
it's
fiscally
sound
and
prudent
to
do
so.
Covid's
provided
us
with
some
challenges,
as
we
know
fiscally,
and
it's
created
areas
where
expended
in
areas
where
we
have
overexpended
and
this
would
fall
into
some
of
the
areas
we've
underexpended.
AI
As
you
know,
the
the
way
the
appropriation
budget
process
works
is
that
the
monies
are
dispensed
to
us
within
the
15.
Categorical
areas
is
defined
with
state
law
and
then
within
that
the
superintendent
board
have
discretion
on
how
to
how
to
operate
within
the
confines
again
of
those
parameters
that
are
established
by
state
law,
to
the
extent
that
they
don't
exceed
an
individual
state
category
appropriation
authority
first
or
the
budget
in
total.
AI
R
So
this,
along
with
every
contract
that
comes
before
the
board,
it's
a
review
from
my
office
to
ensure
available
funding
in
in
the
categories
in
which
mr
schacht
knows
to
describe,
and
so
like
with
this,
knowing
that
it
wasn't
originally
planned,
for
we
did
an
analysis
of
the
of
the
categories
and
and
felt
that,
given
the
current
spending
patterns,
we
could
absorb
the
the
cost
of
the
contract
without
having
to
go
to
the
council
for
additional
appropriation
authority.
W
Okay,
thank
you
so
much,
and
so
this
is
going
to
give
us
a
hand
on
achieving
some
of
our
our
includes,
in
particular,
our
most
recent
board
directive
on
start
times
correct.
Is
that
correct.
AI
Yes,
ma'am
the
the
board
of
education.
I
believe
it
was
on
the
20th
of
january
to
took
a
vote,
providing
some
parameters
and
direction
to
the
superintendent
and
his
team.
So
in
partnership
with
the
consultant
we're
going
to
analyze
the
plan
in
the
two-step
process,
first,
there's
going
to
be
a
proof
of
concept
for
a
viability
study.
AI
This
is
going
to
be
step
one.
We
will
brief
out
to
the
board
at
the
conclusion
of
phase
one
and
then
assuming
that
that
it's
favorable
and
the
board
is
accepting
of
the
term
and
conditions
and
the
preliminary
findings
of
phase
one.
Then
we
will
move
into
step
two
and
and
I'll
loosely
call
it
implementation
more
of
an
implementation
phase,
then
that
will
that
will
make
the
the
analysis
actionable
down
to
the
the
change
of
the
start
time
and
the
stop
reconfigurations
etc.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
two-step
process.
AI
The
board
will
have
involvement,
transitioning
and
essentially
given
a
go-ahead
between
phase
one
and
phase
two
and
then
again.
Clearly,
at
the
end
of
phase
two,
when
we
bring
the
finished
product
back
to
the
board
for
their
review
and
and
greenlight,
that's
the
work
plan
for
the
project.
W
AI
Miss
childs
and
and
the
contractor
typically
can
get
that
executed
in
in
a
week's
time.
Clearly
we
have
a
lot
of
control
over
our
end,
but
most
consultants
are
pretty
are
pretty
ready
to
go
as
well,
and
one
of
the
processes
that
we
go
through
is
always
confirm
confirming
availability
of
capacity
when
we
vet
any
vendor
any
contractor,
we
will
not
enter
into
a
contract
with
a
vendor
that
does
not
have.
AI
That
has
not
demonstrated
to
us
that
they've
got
the
capacity
within
the
scope
of
their
entity
to
take
on
the
work
so
they've
avowed
to
us
that
they
already
they
do
have
the
capacity
to
do
the
work,
and
I
believe
it's
really
just
exchanging
some
insurance
certificates.
Some
signatures,
some,
you
know
you
know
purchasing
activities,
but
it
should
get
underway
very
quickly.
It
would
be
my
presumption.
W
Okay,
so
the
other
aspects,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
it's
clear.
The
other
aspects
of
the
prismatics
recommendation
is
not
part
of
this
scope.
This
is
it's
an
adjunct
to
that,
and
so
we'll
still
need
to
be
addressing
some
of
the
other,
such
as
the
position
recommendations,
the
state
audits
recommendations,
the
prismatic
ones.
AI
And
those,
then
those
are
not
part
of
the
scope
of
work
for
this.
This
is
more
uniquely
tailored
to
the
motion
that
the
board
made
at
its
january
meeting.
Q
AB
Thank
you,
mr
shackanovis
and
dr
lotto
for
this
introduction
ahead
of
time.
Based
on
what
you
shared
tonight,
many
my
questions
actually
have
been
answered,
and
I
thank
you
for
it
and
then
thank
you
for
introducing
the
need
for
support
before
you
know,
not
after
after
the
fact
situation,
but
you're
proactive
about
it.
So
thank
you.
AI
AI
You
know
we
all
need
ownership
of
this
and
the
way
we
structure
the
contract
very
purposefully
was
to
have
a
a
checkpoint
in
the
middle
to
you
know
to
basically
come
back
with
information.
Make
sure
that
everybody's
comfortable
with
that
that
it
aligns
with
the
intention
of
the
board-
and
you
know,
complies
with
the
intent
of
the
motion.
One
specific
example
I'll
bring
out
to
you,
ms
antwine.
AI
If
one
was
to
go
back
and
read
the
read
the
minutes
or
review
the
tape,
probably
more
better
of
that
meeting,
remember
the
board
said
well,
there
may
need
to
be
some
flexibility
right.
You.
Your
motion
was
very
specific
right
like
a
rigid
time,
but
your
words
also
said.
Well,
we
may
need
to
move
things
five
minutes
here
or
there.
AI
You
know
to
make
the
math
work
right
to
make
the
algorithm
work,
but
we
don't
want
to
be
presumptuous
in
that,
so
we
want
to
come
back
to
you
to
the
extent
that
it
doesn't
exactly
align
right
if
something
needs
to
give
five
minutes
one
way
or
ten
minutes
the
other
way.
Well,
we
want
to
be
transparent
about
that
right.
We
want
to
come
back
to
you
and
say:
okay.
This
is
what
you
said.
This
is
what
we
can
do.
We
think.
Are
you
comfortable
with
that
right?
AI
AB
And
thank
you
for
that
explanation
as
well.
Mister,
shanghai,
I'm
in
I'm
definitely
in
support
of
what
I'm
seeing
here
at
first.
I
have
to
admit
I
thought
we're
asking
people
to
do
the
jobs
that
that
you
all
are
in
place
to
do,
but
the
more
information
I
get,
the
better
decision
I
can
make
in
support
of
the
contract.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Yes,.
X
Yes,
thank
you,
president
ellis.
I
have
to
say
when
I
first
saw
this,
I
had
some
concerns
as
miss
corcodel
did,
and
maybe
some
others,
but
I
did
my
due
diligence
as
a
board
member.
I
want
to
thank
mr
zakhnovitz
and
his
staff
for
the
explanation.
X
X
X
Safety
for
our
students
and
the
overall
wellness
of
our
students
will
be
impacted
perhaps
by
this,
and
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
I
did
go
back
and
I
did
read
the
prismatic
report
and
the
prismatic
report
does
make
some
comments
about
start
times.
It
makes
some
recommendations.
X
C
Mr
novice,
mr
stansky
and
ms
child
nice
to
meet
you.
Thank
you
all
for
your
report
and
I
have
no.
H
Questions,
yes,
thank
you
for
your
work
and
for
your
work,
working
with
prismatic
to
get
us
to
this
point
and
to
dovetail
what
we
heard
earlier
about
the
wellness
lens.
You
know
the
the
the
real
fiscal
note
of
doing
this
work
to
get
us
to
healthier,
safe
age.
Appropriate
start
times
is
the
wellness
of
our
children,
the
mental
health
and
physical
safety
of
our
of
our
children.
So
I
don't
think
it'd
be
any
surprise.
H
Anybody
that
I'm
absolutely
in
support
of
this,
and-
and
I
I
thank
you
all
for
your
work-
getting
us
to
this
point-
much
appreciated.
B
Thank
you
and
I'll
I'll
just
I
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
before
us.
Thank
you,
miss
charles
for
being
here
to
answer
any
questions.
I
don't
have
any
questions
I
fully
support.
I
I
see
this
again
back
to
the
wellness
lens.
Not
only
is
a
a
another
piece
of
the
pavement
a
little
another
stove
stone
on
the
path
to
to
healthy
start
times,
but
I
I
see
enhancements
in
our
transportation
system
that
also
will
positively
impact
our
students.
B
So
I'm
I'm
very
much
in
favor,
and
I
thank
you,
dr
arlotto,
for
looking
for
solutions.
I
appreciate
it.
Okay,
I
think
miss
frank.
AG
AG
B
Do
I
have
to
repeat
that
okay
item
6.01
administrative
personnel
appointments,
dr
ellen.
W
B
What's
that,
okay,
do
we
have
consensus
on
that?
AF
Let
me
start
with
6.01:
there
are
no
administrative
personnel
appointments
right,
and
I
will
certainly
recommend
that
the
board
approve
the
storm
water
management,
inspection,
maintenance
agreement
for
hillsmeer
elementary
school,
as
well
as
the
fourth
conservation
declaration,
covenant
conditions
and
restrictions
at
hillsmeer
elementary
school,
as
well
as
I'll,
seek
board
approval
of
the
forced
conservation
declaration,
covenants
conditions
and
restrictions
at
old
mill.
West
high
school.
AJ
Good
evening
for
the
record,
jeanette
ortiz
legislative
and
policy
council,
I
do
not
have
any
bills
for
you
to
vote
on
this
evening.
However,
there
are
a
few
in
section
three
that
fall
under
the
board's
legislative
program
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
V
I
do
not
have
questions
on
what
we
have
in
our
packet.
Thank
you
again
for
now.
Every
time
I
look
at
this,
I
make
sure
I
find
the
fiscal
impact
and
I
I
absolutely
find
it
every
time.
So
I
appreciate
that
I
did
just
want
to
go
back
to
the
transportation
bill.
I
think
that's
really
relevant
with
the
the
motion
we
just
passed
tonight
too,
I
saw
that
it
passed
the
house
and
another
version
passed
the
senate
pretty
well.
V
AJ
So
I
did
email
the
board
like
the
next
day.
I
believe
so.
I
can
resend
that
if
you
didn't
off
the
top
of
my
head,
I
cannot
recall
what
the
amendments
were
specifically
to
the
bills.
However,
we
did
not
have
concerns
with
them
that.
AA
AJ
Of
emails
but
yeah,
if
you
don't
so,
I
think
our
last
move
is
march
3rd,
so
maybe
march
4th.
But
if
you
do
not
find
it
I'll.
Just
when
I
go
back
to
my
office
I'll
just
resend,
it.
AJ
Very
yes,
this
is
a
nice
explanation.
Okay,
yeah.
V
I
got
it
so
yeah
if
you
could
resend
that
to
me,
I'd
appreciate
it
and
that's
all
I
have
for
tonight.
Thank
you.
G
Yes,
thank
you
good
evening,
ms
ortiz
good,
to
see
you.
I
have
one
question
a
couple
of
small
questions
about
the
packet
you
sent
the
companion
bill
for
the
blueprint,
yeah
hb
1372,
sb
965,
there's
reference
to
changes
to
the
accountability
and
implementation
board.
G
AJ
Definitely
don't
remember
everything
and
yeah.
It
has
to
do
really
with
how
the
members
are
selected
of
the
board.
So
when
the
governor
will
appoint,
I
think
now
the
governor
receives
like
a
slate
of
individuals
to
select
from.
AJ
Yeah
it's
a
slate
and
the
governor
has
to
appoint
the
members
within
30
days
now.
There's
some
like
date,
changes.
AJ
AJ
Q
AJ
It
it
was
just
fine
tuning
the
appointment.
G
AJ
Yeah,
no,
the
function
essentially
remains
the
same
oversight.
Certainly
you
know
one
of
the
things
we're
all.
When
I
say
we,
my
colleagues
and
I
and.
B
AJ
Other
stakeholders
are
trying
to
better
understand
is
how
the
accountability
board
intersects
with
the
state
board.
AG
AJ
Has
an
inspector
general,
so
you
know
they
will,
I'm
sure
work
that
all
out,
but
yes,
their
their
function
and
their
the
purpose
of
the
accountability
board
is
the
same.
G
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
and
another
quick
question
on
the
on
hb
1376,
the
primary
and
secondary
educational,
the
the
virtual
ed
requirements
bill,
there's
reference
to
a
flip,
the
classroom
pilot
program.
I
hadn't
heard
of
that
before
and
I
was
just
curious
what
that
is.
AJ
Yeah
me
neither
that's
a
great
question,
it's
basically,
and
so
again
we
did
a
letter
of
information
because
that
mandating
us
it's
all
voluntary.
However,
if
you
volunteered
to
participate,
then
you
might
follow
certain
things,
and
so
that's
why
we
kind
of
had
some
questions
and
concerns
that
we
wanted
to
raise.
But
the
flip
fl
classroom
program
for
my
understanding
and
dr
lotto
correct
me.
AJ
If
I'm
wrong
is
it's
kind
of
asynchronous
learning
and
it's
just
allowing
the
teacher
to
record
a
lesson
for
student
to
be
able
to
watch
the
lesson
at
a
later
point
in
time,
something
that
you
know.
Teachers
can
do
now
with
different
platforms.
But
this
is
a
particular
platform
that
is
utilized
in
education.
G
AJ
C
As
always,
thank
you,
mr
ortiz.
I
have
no
questions.
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I'll
be
serving
my
second
week
as
a
page
next
week.
AA
C
I
know
I
wish
we
got
three
weeks,
but
only
give
us
two,
but
you
know
if
you
do
happen
to
testify.
Maybe
I
might
be
watching
so.
AJ
Okay,
I
try
not
to
do
that
if
I
don't
have
to
try
to
give
substantive
written
testimony,
but
I
will
say
that
you
know
I
do
participate
in
the
subcommittee
meetings
and
you
know
we
got
an
ortiz
amendment
on
a
bill
yesterday.
That
was
helping
and
it
had
to
do
with
the
hate
symbols.
Legislation
so
funny,
because
mary
pat
fanning
she's,
the
executive
director
of
pizzam,
the
public
school
superintendent
association
of
maryland
she's
texting
me.
Oh
the
ortiz
amendment
you
should.
You
know
put
that
on
your
resume,
not
that
I'm
updating
my
resume,
but.
AJ
AJ
We
have
to
keep
our
cameras
off
and
we
can't
raise
our
hand
unless
they
ask
us
to
in
this
committee
in
the
subcommittee,
and
so
I
was
able
to
kind
of
explain
how
our
student
could
have
kind
of
worked,
and
it
was
when
we
deal
with
dress
code
infractions,
like
students,
give
an
opportunity
to
change
right,
the
entire
you
know
if
it's
a
symbol
of
hate,
remove
the
symbol
of
hate.
AJ
That
sort
of
thing
I
think
folks,
were
thinking
there
was
going
to
be
suspension
and
things
of
that
nature-
and
you
know,
explained
obviously,
if
it's
a
reoccurring
issue
and
there's
the
students
defiant
or
something
escalates,
that's
handled
differently.
AJ
B
Q
H
About
the
blueprint,
so
my
questions
more
about
funding
for
the
blueprint.
Can
you
remind
us
please
how
that
works,
because
there
was
something
interesting
that
came
up
in
budget
committee
the
other
day
and
it
I
just
I
I
think
mr
shaknovich
remembers
it.
I
just
I
want
to.
I
want
to
tie
some
ends
together
and
see
where
we
land
on
this.
So
can
you
remind
me
how
this
is
going
to
be
funded
or
was
was
something
was
another
funding
source
created
by
taking
away
from
another
funding
source?
AJ
However,
now
that
we've
received
some
federal
funds,
recovered
relief
and
there's
been
some
funding
for
education
purposes.
There
is
special
section
language,
that's
uncodified
in
the
legislation
that.
AJ
Basically
requires
a
school
system
to
use
some
of
that
education
funding
to
address
some
like
for
tutoring
and
supplemental
instruction
to
deal
with
learning
loss
and
sorry,
I'm
looking
at
all
my
highlighted
sections
here,
there's
yeah
dealing
of
funds,
federal
funds
for
for
different
things
that
they've
identified
in
the
bill.
So
I
think
the
legislature
is
thinking
that
we
should
be
using
some
of
this
federal
funding
to
also
help
move
forward
the
blueprint
legislation
and
the
requirements
set
forth.
AJ
You
know
in
in
the
new
law,
and
so
I
don't
you
know,
I
don't
know
if
they're
thinking
there
might
be
state
shortfalls
alex
may
be
able
to
weigh
in
on
that.
AI
We
are
going
through
el
check,
no
chief
operating
officer
we
are
going
to
have
to
report
in
both
2021
and
2022,
create
a
report
to
the
state
agency
and
the
general
assembly
about
the
use
of
our
federal
funds
in
support
of
the
enumerated
sections
of
the
blueprint
bill
that
aligned
with
the
with
the
law.
So
we're
not
only
encouraged
to
spend
the
funds
in
that
specified
way,
encouraged
not
required
encouraged.
But
there
is
a
report
out
function
both
in
for
2021
and
2022.
In
that
regard,.
AJ
H
I
know
when
this,
when
we,
when
the
blueprint
was
conceived
par.
I
think
part
of
the
rationale
please
correct
me,
I'm
wrong.
It
was
that
it
would
supplement
not
supplant
same
with
like
the
lock
box
stuff,
and
so
yes
does.
This.
Does
that
sort
of
barring
from
the
feds
to
pay
for
the
state
wonderful
blueprint
does
that
is
that?
What
is
that?
What
they're
trying
to
achieve?
Is
there
any
worry
on
your
side?
H
I
guess
that's
my
my
real
question:
is
there
any
worry
on
your
side
or
or
from
the
school
system
side,
about
about
the
use
of
federal
monies
to
pay
for
provisions
in
the
blueprint
but
alex.
AJ
H
AI
In
general
I'll
say:
no,
because
the
the
federal
regulations
prevail,
and
so
we
are
always
gonna
have
to
be
compliant
with
all
of
the
governing
provisions
of
the
grant
of
the
granting
authority
and
the
federal
provisions
prevail
over
a
state
authority.
So
the
state
cannot
compel
us
to
spend
the
federal
dollars
in
an
inappropriate
or
impermissible
fashion.
So
I
have
zero
concern
that
we
will
do
that.
We
are
very
diligent
about
making
sure
that
we
comply
with
all
of
the
restricted
grant
requirements.
AI
Remember
that
all
grant
funding
is
also
subject
to
a
high
degree
of
scrutiny
in
audit
as
well,
so
we
are
going
to.
As
always,
we
do
be
very
dutiful
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
trip
over
any
of
those
expenditure
restrictions.
AJ
AJ
Agree
with
with
what
alex
just
stated-
and
I
think
the
general
assembly
is
just
thinking-
oh,
you
know
we're
getting
all
of
this
federal
funding
and
obviously
we
have
to
spend
it
in
accordance
with
what
the
federal
government
is
requiring,
how
they
are
requiring
us
to
spend
this
money.
AJ
H
I
really
appreciate
the
clarification
because
when,
when
you
know
when
we
talked
about
it
briefly
and
yes,
we
try
to
keep
our
budget
committee
meetings
as
brief
as
possible.
It
was
a
little
bit
of
a
head
scratcher
to
to
to
me
and
and
because
I'm
just
the
lay
person
I
wanted
to
seek
that
clarification.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
appreciate.
AI
It
I
will
also
say,
though,
that
remember
if
we
go
back
in
time
right,
it
was
largely
contemplated
that
that
early
on
much
of
the
blueprint
efforts
were
going
to
be
funded
by
monies
yielded
through
the
the
casino
in
the
gaming
industry
and
with
some
of
the
shutdowns
and
health
related
restrictions.
AI
AI
So
I
think
there
is
some
encouragement
to
not
lose
ground
or
you
know
not
lose
speed
in
terms
of
implementation
of
the
blueprint,
to
the
extent
that
the
federal
funds
again
can
can
help
support
that,
while
the
the
revenue
and
casino
gaming
you
know,
revenues
picked
back
up
to
where
they
were
previously
anticipated,
then
there
wouldn't
be
any
any
sort
of
delay
in
reaching
the
goals
that
the
crown
commission
laid
out
for
the
blueprint
bill.
H
AJ
H
AJ
B
AJ
AJ
Was
able
to
submit
that
timely
and
I
watched
the
bill
hearing
on
that,
and
this
is
the
daylight
saving
legislation
that
was
discussed
at
the
last
meeting.
And
so
you
know
there
were
several
folks
up
that
testified
in
in
opposition,
and
so
I'm
checking
it
with
all
hundreds
of
other
bills.
H
B
H
More
question,
okay,
so
does
that
I
heard
that
there
might
be
an
amendment
to
do
permanent
standard
time.
Does
it
it
still
doesn't
have
legs,
though
right
or
doesn't
now,
if
they
were
to
amend
it
in
that
way,.
O
AJ
I
don't
think
it
does,
because
it's
such
a
significant
change
after
a
year
of
significant
changes,
I'm
not
sure
that
the
legislature
wants
to
go
there
this
year,
maybe
in
out
years,
where
there's
been
more
time
to
consider
the
statewide
impacts
of
whether
you
went
standard
time
or
daylight.
Saving
right,
there's
a
major
impact
across
the
state
in
a
variety
of
different
ways,
and
so
I
have
not
heard
that.
But
I
am,
I
am
tracking
it.
AJ
You
know
in
the
event
that
something
unexpected
happens,
because
in
annapolis,
in
my
16
sessions
there
and
things
happen.
Sometimes
deals
are
brokered
and
you
know
who
knows,
but
I
do
not
believe
it
will
go
anywhere.
Thank.
H
AF
AF
AF
AF
AF
AF
B
Thank
you,
dr
elato,
and
before
we
do
take
questions
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
statement.
So
we've
we've
just
passed
the
one
year
mark
that
our
schools
have
been
had
been
closed.
B
This
has
been
a
very
tough
road.
It's
been
a
tough
road
for
our
students.
It's
been
a
tough
road
for
our
teachers.
It's
been
a
tough
road
for
staff,
dr
alato,
I
know
you
and
your
team
have
been
working
non-stop
this
entire
year
as
we
take
on
all
of
these
challenges.
B
B
So
I
I
want
to
focus
on
the
positive,
because
I,
when
I
think
back
over
the
last
year,
here's
here's
the
highlights
that
come
to
mind
for
me,
beginning
with
meals,
serving
our
students,
students
around
the
county.
B
Serving
them
within
days
of
closing
our
doors,
it's
just
a
phenomenal
phenomenal
effort,
one-to-one
student-to-chromebook
ratio,
something
that
was
not
planned
and
something
that
became
achievable
this
year,
and
I,
I
believe
the
students
who
truly
needed
them
had
them
very
very
quickly
to
allow
education
to
to
continue
another
highlight
that
sticks
out.
For
me,
the
virtual
platform,
virtual
learning,
is
not
ideal,
but
it
is
doable.
B
It
at
least
got
us
by
through
a
year
and
we've
learned
a
lot
from
it,
and
it
now
is
a
new
tool
that
we
have
that
we
didn't
have
before
for
a
variety
of
circumstances
that
could
impact
our
students,
the
vaccine
clinics.
I
I
was
able
to
witness
the
very
first
vaccine
clinic
the
positive
energy,
the
excitement
among
all
of
the
volunteers.
B
There,
our
partners,
the
fire
department,
but
the
the
teachers
and
staff
walking
through
that
door
just
had
the
most
excited
positive
energy,
and
that
was
just
an
amazing
effort
and
it
was
it
has
been
beautifully
run.
B
And
now
every
teacher
and
staff
member
who
has
wanted
a
vaccine
has
had
the
opportunity
to
receive
their
first
and
we
have
begun
second
doses
and
then
finally,
our
students
back
in
the
classroom,
the
absolute
highlight
of
my
year
every
day
that
I
open
up
my
laptop
and
look
at
my
inbox,
the
heartfelt,
very
personal
stories
of
thanks
and
excitement
for
getting
students
back
into
the
classroom.
B
B
AF
So,
thank
you
I'd
like
to
say
that
I'm
speechless,
but
my
team
knows
that's
not
possible.
AF
So
I
I
do
very
much
appreciate
that
support,
but
it
is
the
recognition
for
this
team
that
has
been.
There
are
four
of
the
key
team
members
before
this
board
now
and
they
represent
an
incredible
team
that
has
worked
morning
noon
and
night.
AF
I
was
on
a
call
a
meeting
earlier
today
and
and,
as
is
miss
jackson,
does
many
times
as
the
historian
as
we
delve
into
meetings
and
topics
helps
us
remind
us
of
history,
and
she
reminded
us
today,
as
we
began
a
meeting
by
my
covid
team
as
we
have
called
ourselves,
and
we
have
met
every
wednesday
for
the
past
year
to
talk
about
every
aspect
of
the
school
system
and
how
we
adapt
and
overcome.
AF
She
reminded
us
that
it
was
a
year
ago
this
week
that,
as
schools
had
closed,
we
were
recording
tv
lessons
for
students.
Many
of
us
were
coming
into
the
tv
studio
to
read
stories
and
teachers
were
recording
lessons
that
we
could
push
out
asynchronously
because,
and
our
amazing
tv,
crew
and
team
did
a
phenomenal
job.
AF
But
it
reminds
me
as
as
you
were,
and
thank
you,
mrs
ellis,
so
eloquently
those
highlights
for
you
over
the
past
year,
I
put
those
two
together
and
say
how
far
we
have
come
in
a
very
short
period
of
time
and
we've
come
that
far
because
of
people
and
people
want
to
make
a
difference
for
children
each
and
every
day
in
the
school
system,
and
that
makes
a
difference
and
we've
got
our
families
that
were
willing
to
offer
their
grace
and
patience
as
we
as
we
built
this,
that
our
students
did
similarly
to
offer
their
grace
and
patience
to
understand
that
their
teachers
were
going
through
something
new
and
different,
and
we've
come
together
as
a
certainly
a
stronger
community
and
no
question
that,
as
we
open
our
doors
next
year
to
our
students
will
be
a
stronger
school
system.
AF
As
a
result
of
all
of
this
that
has
gone
on
and
continues
to
go
on,
we'll
continue
to
learn
from
it.
It's
okay
to
say
we
don't
know.
We
are
a
bit
perfectionist.
So
we've
struggled
with
those
words
that
we
don't
know,
but
we've
come
to
grips
with
what
we
don't
know
and
what
we
now
need
to
figure
out
on
behalf
of
our
students
and
our
staffs
who've
just
done
a
phenomenal
job.
So
so
thank
you
for
that
support.
AF
V
AF
AF
Rapid
tests
and
pcr
tests,
so
the
quick
test
and
the
longer
test,
they've
supplied
kits
to
us
with
implementation
instructions
we
each
local
school
system,
the
state
has
to
find
a
medical
partner.
We're
not
licensed
to
do
that
kind
of
work.
Obviously,
so
each
school
system
is
required
to
find
a
medical
partner
to
work
together
to
create
a
testing
program
that
can
occur
inside
the
schools
and
so,
of
course,
our
department
of
health,
dr
kaliana
ramen
and
his
team
jumped
at
the
opportunity.
AF
We
have
a
team
from
aacps
that
meets
with
regularly
with
the
team
from
the
department
of
health
to
work
out
all
the
specifics
to
make
sure
that
we
are
ready.
In
short,
our
school
nurses
will
be
administering
tests
as
needed
in
the
school
building,
so
it
could
be
a
student
or
staff
member
during
the
course
of
the
day
that
becomes
symptomatic.
AF
It
could
also
be
somebody
that
during
the
course
of
the
day
has
been
declared
a
close
contact
while
they
might
be
asymptomatic,
they
are
declared
a
close
contact
of
a
positive
case
and
they
could
be
tested
as
well.
So
this
is
not
testing
for
the
community
where
the
community
can
line
up
outside
and
get
tested.
AF
This
is
school
based
and
we've
been
given
these
tests
they're
at
the
warehouse
we're
distributing
them
to
the
to
the
schools,
we're
learning
some
things
about
the
medical
industry
that
we've
not
had
to
deal
with
like
when
you
do
testing
you
have
to
have
biohazard
waste
removal.
Well,
we
don't
have
that
in
our
schools.
AF
Likewise,
when
the
pcr
tests
are
finished,
you
have
to
have
a
delivery
mechanism
that
fedex
picks
up
the
specimens
and
takes
them
to
the
lab
and
we're
having
to
work
out
that
so
we're
close,
all
that's
being
worked
out
once
it's
in
place
and
it's
gotten
the
blessing
of
not
only
our
department
of
health,
but
the
maryland
department
of
health
is
monitoring
all
the
steps
along
the
way
for
each
school
system.
We'll
then
begin
to
administer
the
tests
inside
our
schools.
AF
It's
so
there
has
to
be
consent.
There
have
to
be
legal
documents,
there
has
to
be
consent
of
the
of
the
parent
for
the
child
to
be
tested
at
school.
V
AF
V
V
AF
V
To
make
sure
that
we
we
keep
track
of
that
and
just
make
sure
that
parents
are
that
we
have
it
firmly
and
that
we
can
you
know
in
case
there
are
any
concerns
or
problems
either
that
we
have
it
in
writing.
If
we
can,
I
I
don't
know
if
I
don't
know
how
that
would
look,
but
obviously
you
know
just
bring
it
up.
V
Okay,
that's
the
only
questions
and
considerations
I
have
for
the
reopening
report,
but
again
just
thank
you
so
much.
You
know
I
really
do
appreciate
and,
like
president
ellis
said,
this
is
exciting
for
us
to
you
know
to
tell
our
constituents.
You
know
we're
moving
forward
and
it's
really
it's
awesome.
G
Yes,
thank
you,
and
so
I
take
it
from
this,
dr
arlato,
that
should
you
ever
get
tired
of
the
education
game,
you
could
run
a
hospital
someday.
G
Obviously
we
heard
earlier
some
parents
who
are
concerned
at
the
prospect
of
additional
changes
down
the
road.
Obviously
we
don't
know
about
that,
but
I
have
heard
from
a
few
parents
who
have
children
who
are
special
with
special
needs,
who
really
would
are
are
not
finding
support
in
the
centers
they're
in
to
do
virtual
work
on
the
two
days
they're
not
in
and
in
all
these
cases
these
are
very
small
classes
like
the
total
class
might
be
five
or
six,
so
questions
have
come
up
about
well.
G
Is
there
any
way
that
these
children,
with
particular
special
education
needs,
could
find
a
way
to
do
four?
You
know
four
days
in
the
school
rather
than
just
the
two.
Do
you
see
any
way
forward
with
that
down
the
line
for
families
in
that
kind
of
situation?.
AF
Absolutely
so,
when
I
talk
about
and
reference
moving
to
four
days
a
week,
that's
the
that's
the
group
that
we
will
focus
on
first,
one
because
of
their
needs,
and
we
know
we
can
better
serve
them
than
when
they're
with
us
under
our
roof
during
those
four
days,
as
opposed
to
the
virtual,
but
also
because,
as
you
said
appropriately
so,
the
the
numbers
are
small,
and
so
we
do
believe
that
we
can
begin
to
bring
them
in
four
days
a
week.
AF
G
Okay
assumed
that
was
probably
the
case,
but
it
several
of
these
cases
come
to
my
attention,
and
so
I
would
hope
that
we
really
would
hone
in
on
those
students
before
there
were
any
consideration
of
of
others,
and
let
me
see
there
was
something
else
well.
First
of
all,
I
would
also
just
like
to
say,
and-
and
you
appropriately
noted
dr
arlotto
and
your
opening
remarks,
but
you
know
it's:
it's
so
fabulous
that
students
who
opted
for
hybrid
or
are
back
in
hybrid,
but
just
a
reminder.
G
G
We
now
have
for
those
students
who
are
those
sixth
graders
and
ninth
graders,
who
are
choosing
to
remain
virtual
all
year.
They
will
never
have
been
in
their
buildings,
and
so
there
is
a
question
as
to
whether
or
not
for
those
rising
7th
and
9th
and
10th
graders.
Can
there
also
be
an
orientation
day
for
them
in
the
fall,
as
we
normally
do
for
sixth
graders
and
ninth
graders,
because
we'll
have
these
categories
of
students
who
really
have
never
been
in
their
school
buildings.
AF
Yeah,
it's
a
good
question.
It's
one.
Many
of
several
of
your
colleagues
have
asked
I've
had
a
conversation
with
parents
who
and
and
who
have
emailed
me
as
well
and
asked
the
same
question.
So
would
I
say
we
would
do
a
traditional
orientation
as
you
have
suggested?
No,
I
would
say
we
would
not,
because
we
then
be
taking
separate
days
for
just
the
sixth
graders
and
then
I'd
send
them
home
and
I'm
gonna
do
just
the
seventh
graders
and
then
I
would
send
them
home.
AF
But
it
is
a
we
have
to
reacclimate.
And
so
that's
the
conversation
that
the
planning
teams,
the
fall
planning
teams
are
already
undertaking
to
say
that
will
be
part
of
the
mix.
How
did
the
first
couple
weeks
of
school
look
and
how
do
we
do
those
orientations
without
isolating
a
group
of
students,
because
I
could
still
do
an
orientation
for
sixth
graders,
with
seventh
and
eighth
graders
in
the
building
at
the
same
time
right
and
move
them
about
the
building?
AF
And
we
can
do
that
for
several
weeks,
because
we
really
have
to
think
differently
about
students
getting
used
to
doing
school
again
and
that
that's
part
of
the
planning
that
has
already
started
and
that
we
will
undertake
very
seriously
going
into
the
fall.
G
But
I'm
I'm
glad
to
hear
that.
I
have
one
last
very
small
question:
we've
had
some
questions
about
the
current
virtual
schedule
for
elementary
students
and
that
there's
apparently
a
two
hour
block
in
the
afternoon
that
where
students
don't
get
a
break
from
the
screen-
and
this
is
very
you
know-
second
graders
and
so
on.
I
just
wondered
if
there'd
been
any
discussion
of
that,
any
opportunities
for
breaks
is
that
left
the
discretion
of
the
teacher.
AF
It
is
so
so
so,
yes,
it
is
left
to
discretion,
the
teacher
just
like
they
would
in
brick
and
mortar
how
they
want
to
divide
up
their
day,
particularly
during
that
afternoon
period.
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything
you
want
to
share
dr
mcmahon
regarding
that,
but
that
is
it's
really
up
to
the
teacher
and
how
what
the
students
needs
are
and
if
they
want
to
develop
and
build
in
a
break,
they
certainly
can
do
that.
It's
up
to
the
teacher.
AH
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
yep?
Yes,
okay,
it
is
up
to
the
teacher,
as
dr
alato
said,
and
the
nice
part
about
it.
Is
the
teachers
really
ask
us?
They
said
let
it
be
organic,
because
some
classrooms,
depending
on
the
students
of
the
day
they
need
a
break
after
35
minutes
and
others
can
go
basically
into
45
minutes.
So
we
have
basically
35
or
40
minute
blocks
in
that
day,
depending
if
you're
young
in
the
primary
years
or
if
you're
intermediate.
W
I
don't
have
a
question,
but
I
did
want
to
piggyback
off
a
member
tobin's
couple
comments
on
mental
social,
emotional
well-being
of
our
students,
and
I
think
we
would
be
remiss
not
to
thank
miss
jackson,
dr
alato,
miss
meigler,
mr
volklin,
and
so
many
others
of
the
panelists
are,
let's
see
our
partners,
our
our
partners,
partnership
with
our
partners,
you
know
so
many
of
them
have
been
going
above
and
beyond
our
mobile
crisis
unit,
jen
and
steve
awesome
folks,
and
I
probably
and
last
but
not
least,
a
very
courageous
student.
W
That's
a
member
of
our
crass
organization
willing
to
share
his
story
and
his
challenges.
So
I
just
wanted
to.
Thank
you
all,
because
this
really
is
part
of
reopening
is,
is
our
social,
emotional
well-being
and
I
think,
we're
off
to
a
really
good
start
and
a
foundation
I'd
like
to
I'd
love
to
get
those
conversations
into
that
prevention
pocket
as
as
soon
as
possible,
because
that's
where
we
want
our
kids
to
be
preventing.
W
But
we
have
a
lot
of
mitigation
work
to
do
and
a
heavy
lift
to
climb
for
not
just
our
students
but
of
our
employees.
And
so
many
members
of
our
community-
and
I
think
it
was
an
awesome
conversation-
so
many
people
I
know
shared
among
in
in
my
communities
and
continue
to
share
that
information,
and
I
know
that
there
is
more
planned
in
the
future
and
I
look
forward
to
supporting
that
and
being
a
part
of
it
too.
Thanks
guys
very
much
greatly
appreciate
it.
AB
Thank
you.
I
I
am
dr
tobin
clearly
had
my
notepad
with
my
questions,
so
that
left
me
with
none,
but
I
did
want
to
ask
with
one
of
the
testimonies
today
pointed
out.
We
have
63
days
left
of
school.
Are
there
current
plans
for
similar
actions,
as
we
did
last
year
for
summer
school.
AF
There
are,
we
will,
in
terms
of
the
planning
and
what
we
plan
to
bring
and
offer
in
terms
of
opportunities
to
students
will
far
surpass
what
we
did
last
summer
and
what
we've
done.
In
the
past,
we
have
a
summer
planning
team
under
dr
mcmahon's
leadership
that
have
been
working
on
what
our
summer
will
look
like.
AF
We
have
also,
we
will
be,
as
I
have
reported,
to
the
board
that
cares
to
funding
that
became
available
to
the
states
and
soon
the
locals.
Back
in
december,
we
will
have
possibly
access
to
48
million
dollars.
That's
been
earmarked
for
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools.
AB
AF
Well
now
we
want
to
build
a
program
on
that
that's
around
an
entire
day,
so
it
could
be
some
middle
school
math
and
it
could
be
some
really
cool
fun,
engaging
things
outdoors
indoors.
It
could
be
sports
related,
it
could
be
the
arts
related.
We
have.
We
are
involving
partners
at
maryland
hall
at
the
police
department.
AF
In
our
department
of
recreation
and
parks
and
chesapeake
center
for
the
arts
are
all
working
with
us
to
combine
to
build
programs
for
our
students
for
this
summer,
really
engaging
programming
for
our
students
this
summer,
and
much
of
that
will
be
we'll
be
able
to
utilize
this
federal
funding.
That
is
coming
our
way.
X
Thank
you,
president
ellis.
Dr
tobin
also
had
some
of
my
comments,
and
I
thank
you
for
that.
But
I'm
going
to
repeat
them
simply
because
dr
tobin
talked
about.
X
It's
unbelievable
and
they're
thanking
us,
so
I'm
looking
out
there
into
the
tv
land
to
the
teachers
and
staff
that
are
out
there,
and
I'm
saying
I
wish
you
could
see
and
read
the
emails
that
I
read
because
even
though
they're
thanking
me,
I'm
passing
it
on
to
you
the
greatness
that
we
have
in
our
teachers.
We
see
it
each
and
every
day
the
physical
and
mental
wellness
of
our
students
is
in
great
hands,
and
so
many
of
our
students
are
thriving,
but
you
know
what
we're
still
in
uncharted
territory.
X
X
X
B
Q
C
Yes,
I
just
want
to
say
first,
I
concur
with
everything
my
colleagues
have
been
saying,
because
I
have
experienced
hybrid
first
hand.
I
will
tell
you
it
feels
so
nice
to
be
back
in
the
building.
You
know
when
dr
law
was
talking
about
orientation.
Are
students
going
to
know
what
regular
school
feels
like?
C
I
commented
to
one
of
my
friends.
You
know
this
feels
weird
right.
It's
amazing
how
we
were
in
here
day
in
and
day
out
for
11
and
a
half
years,
but
now
it's
so
odd
to
us.
So
you
know
it
was
an
adjustment,
but
it
was
a
most
welcomed
adjustment
and,
like
I
said,
I'm
just
so
happy
to
be
back.
You
know,
especially
for
my
favorite
class
lunch.
C
I
do
enjoy
french
cuisine
so
wee-wee,
but-
and
you
know
speaking
of
that
also
you
know
on
the
wednesdays.
I
will
tell
you
that
I
feel
I'm
feeling
very
very
well-rested
today.
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
my
fellow
students
are
because
move
the
time
back
to
ether.
So
I
really
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
Dr
alato.
I
was
very
welcome
too.
I
just
do
have
a
few
questions
and
they're.
C
Actually
what
one
of
them
is
actually
related
to
lunch,
so
the
lunches
I
we
can't
sing
enough
praises
for
our
meal
service
staff.
I
mean
I've
saw
the
pictures
and
now
I'm
interacting
with
them.
You
know
at
the
beginning,
when
I
get
a
breakfast
when
I,
if
I
you
know,
get
a
lunch
and
then
when
I
get
an
afternoon
snack
three
meals
a
day
is
great,
but
I
do
just
have
a
question.
AF
There
are
food
service
laws
that
exist,
so
food
that
has
been
prepared
hot
can
only
be
out
for
a
certain
amount
of
time.
I
cannot
give
you
all
of
those
all
that
that
intricacy,
but
so
if
it
is
a
hot
prepared
meal-
and
it
is
not
served
in
a
certain
amount
of
time
that
does
have
to
be
disposed
of,
but
when
you
come
in
the
morning
and
you
grab
a
bag
of
breakfast
or
on
your
way
out,
you
grab
that
bag
of
dinner
and
it's
not
hot
prepared
food.
AF
Those
that
are
not
picked
up
can
be
reused
right.
Those
are
not
thrown
away,
but
hot
food
that
is
prepared
and
has
not
served
in
a
certain
amount
of
time
does
have
to
be
disposed
of.
C
AF
C
C
I'm
gonna
tell
you
it's
all
going
fine
and
well
in
in
person
school
granted.
It's
only
been
four
days
for
me,
but
I
will
tell
you
it
does
get
slow
around
the
midday
break
because
you
are
kind
of
just
sitting
in
your
community
wellness,
teacher's
classroom
for
that
lunch
break
and
it
does
get
dull
after
you
know,
you've
done
your
clubs.
You've
done
your
work
and
you've
done
your
homework.
C
There's
only
so
much
stuff
to
talk
about
so
is
there
any?
I
guess
any
thing
in
the
works
for
I
guess
programming
during
that
time,
not
like.
I
know,
there's
clubs,
but
for
the
in-person
student
made
the
possibility
of
going
outside.
AF
AF
It
is
a
bit
of
a
tricky
time
because
we're
trying
to
balance
having
students
in
the
building,
as
well
as
the
timing
of
the
students
that
are
at
home,
and
if
you
remember
this
board
and
much
of
the
public
was
very
concerned
about
not
losing
any
of
that
time
for
the
students
that
were
at
home
to
the
students
that
were
in
the
school
building.
AF
So
we
maintain
that
schedule,
which
does
mean
there
is
a
bit
of
a
lull
when
you're
virtual,
that
low
you're
at
home
you've
got
access
to
your
refrigerator
and
you've
got
access
to
the
sofa.
If
you
want
to
take
a
nap,
but
you
don't
have
that
same
access
at
school,
and
I
realized
that.
But
that
was
part
of
the
trying
to
make
this
work.
AF
So
I
would
suggest
if,
if
you've
got
ideas
or
you
and
your
classmates
have
ideas
about
how
to
best
use
that
time,
I
think
the
principles
would
be
all
ears
to
learn
more
about
what
your
thoughts
are.
Keeping
in
mind
that
we
have
guidance
around
distancing
that
needs
to
be
maintained
during
that
time.
C
C
You
know,
walk
and
talk
right,
but
I
think
that's
great
and
then
lastly,
I
just
will
say
that
we're
talking
about
you
know
what
we're
doing
now
and
what
we
think
should
continue
even
after
the
coronavirus
pandemic,
and
I
will
say
that
the
one
thing
that
I
definitely
think
that
we
should
you
know
try
to
maintain
is
the
wiping
down
of
desk
or
encouraging
students
to
clean
their
work
spaces.
This
is
a
good
habit
to
have
you
know.
C
I
hate
you
know
coming
to
a
desk
following
a
student
who's,
not
the
cleanest,
you
know
kind
of
messy,
maybe
they
had
a
bag
of
chips
and
just
crumbs
everywhere,
maybe
some
liquid
on
the
desk
now
to
clean
up.
I
think
the
wiping
down
of
dust
is
something
that
is
a
silver
lining
or
something
that
we
should
continue.
C
B
H
Yes,
thank
you
for
your
for
your
update.
Thank
you
to
your
team.
All
of
your
team.
Thank
you
to
this
to
the
teachers.
It's
just
been.
It's
just
been
wonderful.
H
Yes,
there
are,
you
know
technical,
glitches
and
and-
and
you
know
things
to
work
out
as
there
have
been
all
year,
but
it's
really
they've
just
been
so
amazing.
You
know,
like
the
teachers
are
wonderful
and
the
whole
staff
has
been
fabulous,
and
I
just
so
so
grateful-
and
I
you
know
I
get
those
emails.
H
I've
gotten
those
emails,
too
of
parents
just
overwhelmed
with
happiness
and
their
kids
are
like
the
there's
life
in
their
eyes
again,
and
you
know-
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
you
know
some
students-
you
know
on
the
other
side
of
the
coin.
Maybe
school
wasn't
in
person
school
wasn't
their
their
thing
before
and
they've
been
thriving
this
whole
year,
and
so
I
want
to
recognize
that
as
well
and
and
that's
been
so
this
last
year
in
in
in
some
small
in
some
ways
been
been
really
decent
for
them
too.
H
So
yeah,
I'm
just
I'm
really
grateful.
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
about
summer
school
and
you
know
we
talked
about
this
and
we've
talked
about
this
before
and
I
was
thrilled
to
bet
so
I'm
so
excited
about.
What's
to
come
for
the
summer.
Can
you
remind
me,
does
transportation
exist
for
students
in
the
summer
or
could
it
because
of.
H
AF
That's
part
of
the
budgeting
process
that
is
going
through
dr
mcmahon
and
mr
stansky
is
part
of
that
planning
team
as
well,
because
he'll
be
helping
us
manage
this
possible
48
million
dollars.
But
yes,
that's
both
transportation
and
meals.
AF
And
if
it's
a
program
that
normally
we
charge
for
like
earning
credit
at
the
high
school
level
that
will
be
paid
for
by
us
as
well.
H
Wow,
that's
incredible
and
you
know
just
to
piggyback
on
what
we
just
voted
on
and
then
you
know
what
we
hope
for
the
future.
Just
you
know
just
I
know
you
don't
have
like
times
of
day
and
all
of
that
worked
out
in
the
scheduling
of
that.
I
just
encourage.
You
know
those
start
times
to
to
line
up
with.
H
What's
to
come,
you
know
system-wide
someday
in
in
the
future
before
I
think
the
motion
was
before
january
or
second
semester.
I
can't
remember
exactly
so
just
a
nod
to
that.
But
yes,
all
the
teachers
out
there.
Thank
you
for
everything
you're
doing
to
all
the
staff,
you're,
fabulous
and
and
someday
we'll
get
some
rest
from
this,
and
I
just
you
know
it's
yeah.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
Of
I
I
want
to
echo
a
couple
things.
Absolutely
thank
you
to
our
teachers,
our
and
all
of
the
staff.
My
my
own
freshman
got
to
walk
through
those
doors
for
the
first
time
she
really
enjoys
school.
She
says
I
would
love
to
go
for
five
days
a
week
I
mean
she,
she
really
really
enjoys
being
in
the
classroom.
So
I
I
know
that's
only
one
story,
but
I
had
to
share
it
her.
B
So
it's
I,
I
guess
a
personal
thank
you
to
to
her
teachers
for
being
so
welcoming
she's
really.
Having
a
great
time,
I
want
to
thank
ms
corcodell
for
bringing
up
the
mental
health
conversation.
I
was
able
to
listen
in
and
yeah.
That
was
a
really
valuable
resource
for
our
community.
B
B
Dr
elato,
I
just
have
a
couple
questions
about
sort
of.
What's
next
so
hybrid,
we
have
a
lot
of
families
interested
in
moving
into
hybrid,
who
did
not
originally
opt
for
that,
and
the
logistics
have
become
very
difficult,
as
as
staff
in
the
buildings
are
trying
to
adjust.
B
So
there
will
be
another
opportunity
down
the
line
when
things
settle,
so
I
guess,
can
you
speak
to
that
at
all.
AF
Absolutely
glad
to
so
the
next.
The
next
phase
to
use
that
term
is
begins.
On
monday,
where
we
bring
in
grades
7,
8,
10
and
11.,
and
then
we'll
give
them
a
week
or
so
to
settle.
And
then
the
next
phase
will
be
going
to
those
you've
heard.
The
term
wait
lists
at
schools
but,
more
importantly,
as
you
had
said,
those
parents
that
now
want
to
make
that
change
from
the
virtual
for
their
children
into
the
hybrid
environment
and
so
we'll
put
together.
AF
They
have
room
to
accept
more
students
and
you've
heard
me
say
this
on
a
number
of
occasions
to
this
board
and
publicly
our
goal
is
to
bring
in
as
many
students
that
want
to
return
to
in-person
learning,
as
we
can
manage,
given
the
current
guidelines,
the
distancing
guidelines
that
exist
in
classrooms,
schools
and
on
buses.
AF
AF
That
is
out
there.
That's
much
talked
in
the
news.
It's
not
new
to
any
of
you
about.
Moving
from
that
six
feet,
to
something
less
whatever
that
something
less
is
we're
preparing
to
be
able
to
bring
that
many
more
students,
whatever
that
number
will
be
we're
prepared
to
bring
that
many
more
students
into
the
hybrid
environment?
B
And
if
we
get
to
that
point,
hopefully
sooner
than
later,
where
we
can
bring
students
in
for
say
four
days
a
week,
a
question
I'm
getting
from
some
parents
is:
will
two
days
still
be
an
option
if
we
get
to
that
point.
So
in
other
words,
do
you
does
opting
into
hybrid
well
or
no
does
opting
in
to
the
classroom?
AF
So
going
four
days
a
week
is
not
going
to
be
the
it's
not
going
to
be
the
primary
part
of
our
plan
moving
moving
forward
right.
We
all
want
to
get
to
that
right.
What
we
want
to
get
to
is
five
days
a
week
and
everything's
back
to
normal,
we're
not
there
yet
so
the
next
phase
is
is
as
those
and
I
believe
will
be
the
case.
Sometime
this
spring.
Those
distancing
guidelines
will
begin
to
be
reduced.
AF
If
we
go
to
four
days
a
week,
if
the
guidelines
are
this,
guidelines
are
reduced
and
our
goal
is
to
go
four
days
a
week.
We
won't
increase
the
number
of
students
in
the
building
because
you'll
basically
be
taking
the
monday
tuesday
cohort
and
combine
it
with
a
thursday
friday
cohort
and
those
kids
are
now
going
two
days
a
week.
AF
They'll
go
four
days
a
week
and
you
haven't
left
any
room
for
the
students
that
want
to
come
from
virtual
back
into
the
building,
so
we
don't
achieve
our
goal,
which
is
increase
the
number
of
students
at
least
two
days
a
week,
so
the
next
phase
would
be
to
increa
again
increase
the
number
of
students
that
are
in
that
one
of
the
two
cohorts
we
want
to
fill
those
up.
We
have
some
schools
that
are
only
going
two
days
a
week.
AF
I
want
to
make
sure
they're
going
four
days
a
week,
a
a
monday,
tuesday
cohort
and
a
thursday
friday
cohort
that's
the
goal,
and
then,
if,
if
we
get
to
a
point
that
everything
is
relaxed
and
we
can
get
to
four
days
a
week,
that
could
be
a
possibility.
AF
But
I
I
would
suspect-
and
my
crystal
ball
is
very
fuzzy
these
days
over
the
past
year-
I'm
not
very
good
at
predicting,
but
I
think
that
if
we
can
increase
the
number
of
students
in
our
cohorts
two
days
a
week,
that's
probably
how
we'll
finish
out
the
year.
That
would
be
my
guess.
B
Is
that
so
your
column
this
week
that
printed
talked
about
four
days
a
week,
yep.
AF
It
sure
did
right
and
that's
still
a
goal
right
if
we
can,
if
we
can
get
to
that
without
limiting
the
number
of
students
that
do
want
to
return.
I
don't
want
to
say
no
to
the
family.
That
says
we
were
virtual
and
we'd
like
to
come
back
at
least
two
days
a
week,
because
if,
if
again
based
on
the
whatever
the
guidance
is
at
that
time
next
week
or
a
month
from
now,
I
don't
want
to
have
to
say
families.
AF
AF
That's
the
thing,
so
is
the
goal,
absolutely
if
we
could
get
to
that
point.
I
don't
know
that
we're
going
to
get
to
that
point.
I
think
time
may
run
out
by
the
end
of
this
year
that
we
don't
get
to
that
point,
but
it's
absolutely
a
goal
and
that's
not
new.
B
AF
AF
You
have,
as
these
are
documents
that
you
have
seen
before,
and
mr
shaknovich
is
here
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
B
G
AI
AB
AI
So,
approximately
two
years
ago
we
received
supplemental
funding
from
the
county
when
they
enacted
a
local
law
legislation.
Here
that
requires
organic-based
food
trays.
AI
They
they
essentially
ban
styrofoam,
and
so
what
the
county
government
did
recognizing
that
the
organic
trays
costed
more
than
what
we
were
previously
using
they
provided
us
funding
for
that
and
you'll
see
it's
a
very
small
amount,
dr
tobin,
it's
483
thousand
dollars
so
because
of
the
modality
that
we're
serving
that
we
have
been
serving
up
to
now,
mostly
right,
it's
been
as
dr
lotto
said:
plastic
bags
grab
and
go
a
lot
of
pre-packaged
things.
AI
B
Reminded
me
that
I
had
a
question
about
the
community
services.
That
was
a
huge
difference.
Is
that
somehow
covered
related.
AI
So
again,
it's
if
you
notice
it's
a
in
our
1.3
billion
dollar
budget.
Then
line
item
is
121
thousand
dollars,
so
so
a
lot
of
those.
It's
not
that
there's
been
a
curtailment
of
the
community
services.
We've
actually
been
very
fortunate
in
that
some
of
the
federal
monies
that
we've
received
really
have
been
tailored
towards
the
community
services,
the
wraparound
services,
a
lot
of
those
type
of
things
and,
as
we've
been
applying
for
the
grants
and
standing
up
those
systems,
we
have
been
leaning
a
little
bit
more
heavily
on
the
grant
funding.
AI
This
is
an
area
honestly
that
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
need
in,
and
we've
been
a
little
bit
of
cautious.
We're
kind
of,
I
won't
say,
holding
this
in
reserve
a
little
bit,
but
we
know
we're
going
to
need
it,
but
we
want
to
try
to
use
some
of
the
cares
money
to
do
some
of
the
big
heavy
lifts
in
this
area.
Knowing
that
that
we
still
have
this
kind
of
for
the
home
stretch
run.
B
Our
next
meeting
will
be
wednesday
april
7th
10
a.m.
Here,
in
the
board,
room
policy
committee
will
meet
april
6
budget
budget
committee
april
20th
and
I'm
sorry
I've
forgotten.
We
don't
have
it
on
here
yet,
but
the
equity
committee
will
be
meeting
next
month
april,
14th
16.,
oh
april
14th,
at
6
pm
yeah
equity
committee.
Do
I

a
motion
