And
I
want
to
share
them
first,
I
really
enjoyed
the
germantown
italian
dinner
with
mary
austin
and
her
daughters
and
the
students
did
a
wonderful
job
and
it
was
just
a
great
event.
It
was
just
wonderful
to
see
the
kids
and
the
parents
at
germantown,
and
I
attended
the
wellness
council
meeting
yesterday.
Thank
you,
jody
risi
and
teresa
tutor
and
had
a
wonderful,
lucia
martin
who
is
a
coordinator
of
school
counseling.
E
All
that
is
going
on
in
our
system
in
terms
of
helping
students
and
staff
really
can
help
their
lifestyle
help
in
a
number
of
ways,
and
it
was
real
interesting
to
see
the
different
folks
in
the
committee,
elementary
middle
and
high
school,
what
the
activities
that
are
going
on
and
many
of
them
were
having
yoga
sessions
at
their
school,
and
I
thought
gosh.
When
I
was
a
teacher,
I
would
have
loved
to
have
participated
not
now,
but
I
would
have
loved
to
at
the
time
it
was.
E
The
third
thing
I
did
was:
I
attended
the
anne
arundel
county,
retired
teachers
luncheon
and
meeting
today.
Thank
you,
monique
for
speaking,
and
and
really
really
helping
talk
to
the
retirees
and
and
thank
them
for
all.
They
contribute
after
they
retire
and
all
that
they
do
for
our
system,
and
it
was
monique,
gave
some
specific
examples
of
people
who
are
working
in
schools
and-
and
it's
just
it's
wonderful
to
be
a
part.
E
I
am
a
retiree,
obviously,
and
it's
just
wonderful
to
be
a
part
of
folks
who
work
so
hard
and
then
have
come
back
to
schools
to
give
again
and
and
make
a
difference.
The
cat
north.
We
had
the
meeting
at
cat
north
again,
my
goodness
those
the
cat
north,
culinary
students
provided
us
with
a
fabulous
meal.
E
I
bought
a
cheesecake
and
our
and
brought
it
back
to
share
with
the
board
and
no
calorie
cheesecake.
I
think,
anyway,
really
really
delicious.
The
students
served
us,
the
pastry
was
good,
I'm
telling
you
it
was
just
great.
It
was
what
a
what
a
wonderful
and
I
want
to
thank
the
retired
school
personnel,
tony
anzelina,
all
the
people
who
really
contribute
and
spend
so
much
time,
volunteering
for
our
school
system-
and
I
think
that
is
oh
and
I
attended
the
maryland
hall
board
meeting.
E
I
get
paid
so
much
for
all
this
attended
the
maryland
hall
board
meeting
and
it's
very
exciting.
I'm
sharing
it
with
the
what
maryland
hall
is
how
they've
expanded
and
their
plans
for
the
next
few
years
and
their
new
courses
are
out,
go
online,
there's
so
many
things
for
children
and
adults.
Our
anne
arundel
county
public
school
students
are
in
maryland
hall
on
a
daily
basis,
and
we
thank
the
staff
and
everything
that
goes
on
there.
So
it's
it's
really
a
great
place.
So
thank
you
very
much.
That's
it.
F
I've
attended
a
bunch
of
things,
but
a
couple
highlights
the
family
involvement
conference.
On
november
5th.
There
were
over
200
parents
there
to
be
involved,
teresa
tutor
and
her
team
just
did
a
fabulous
job.
It
was
great,
so
one
of
the
str
one
of
the
strengths
and
one
of
the
best
things
about
our
county
is
the
diversity
we
have
in
all
areas
that,
from
the
diversity
of
our
cultures
that
come
out
our
rural
and
urban
and
suburban
mix
and
everything
that
comes
out.
F
And
today
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
three
different
events
today
before
I
came
here
tonight
that
really
just
highlighted
all
the
amazing
things
that
are
going
on
in
our
county.
I
went
to
the
international
parent
and
community
advisory
committee
meeting
this
morning
and
there
that
is,
a
team
of
dedicated
parents
from
all
different
cultures
who
come
together
to
give
ideas
for
how
we
can
further
enrich
all
of
our
student
body
with
all
the
insight
and
things
and
bringing
in
and
melding
with
the
different
cultures
that
we
have.
F
And
then
I
went
from
there
to
georgetown
east
to
have
a
thanksgiving
feast
with
the
first
grade.
There's
nothing
more
fun
than
having
thanksgiving
feast
with
first
graders,
especially
when
these
fabulous
nanas
and
mothers
and
community
volunteers
made
a
nine
course
meal.
I
mean
turkey,
you
name
it.
Everything
was
there.
I
needed
a
nap
afterwards,
but
it
was
just
wonderful
to
see
the
community
involvement
that
was
there
and
the
children
and
they're
celebrating
immigrants
coming
over
to
our
country
being
welcomed
by
the
natives.
F
I
mean
it
was,
it
was
a
fabulous
event
and
then
I
went
from
there
way
down
to
the
southern
part
of
our
county
to
shadyside
elementary
and
shadyside
through
their
tripoli
arts
and
humanities
program
created
a
unity.
I
don't
know
what
we
call
it
a
tent
or
a.
It
was
amazing.
They
had
polls
with
all
different
things
about
people
and
the
children
and
all
the
staff
took
yarn
and
they
wrapped
around
these
poles
for
things
that
described
them.
F
I
am
a
friend,
I'm,
a
scholar
I
am
brave
and
as
each
person
wrapped
around
it
was
their
uniqueness,
but
then
they
are
all
tied
together
and
it
showed
how
all
the
unique
individuals
create
one
giant
creation
and
one
giant
thing
working
together,
and
it
was
very
neat
and
my
favorite
story
was
two
little
boys.
Each
were
going
around
the
pole,
for
I
am
brave
and
one
of
them
said
you're
brave,
I'm
brave
too.
F
We
can
be
brave
together
and
I
was
like
how
fabulous
is
that
so
I
just
feel
like
it's
such
a
privilege
to
live
and
work
and
serve
in
this
county
with
these
wonderful
teachers
and
students
and
families.
We
have
that
are
all
working
together
to
make
a
greater
hole
out
of
all
the
individuals.
So
today
was
just
a
great
day
for
that.
G
During
this
month,
one
of
the
very
very
nice
things
that
the
school
did
was
crofton
middle
school,
which
did
have
the
veterans
day
ceremony.
They
have
done
it
for
the
last
12
years
and
it
really
was
a
graceful.
Thank
you
to
our
troops
and
to
the
people
who
serve
in
the
military
to
basically
praise
them
and
recognize
them
on
that
day.
So
that
was
really
really
a
great
ceremony.
G
H
H
Our
our
deal
with
them
is
that
we
are
going
to
provide
between
15
and
20
hours
a
week,
beginning
in
february
of
2017
of
programming,
and
it
will
be
our
pva
students
as
well
as
getting
access
to
students
around
as
we
build
this
getting
students
around
the
county
to
participate,
but
we
will
do
pre-recorded
pieces
for
them.
I
think
the
radio
lingo
is
after
they're
finished
they're
in
the
can,
so
we've
got
a
number
of
hours
that
are
already
in
the
can.
Is
that
right,
dr
mcmahon?
H
H
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
use
my
time
to
thank
a
couple
of
people,
but
first
mrs
nolly,
for
the
the
cheesecake.
A
C
There
that
was,
I
had
two
pieces.
It
was
good
on
november
5th,
some
other
organizations
that
I'm
a
part
of
had
an
outreach,
a
title
one
outreach
day
at
both
park
elementary
and
hilltop
elementary,
and
I
just
want
to
extend
thanks
to
sandy
blondell
the
principal
at
park
elementary
as
well
as
louise
de
jesus,
the
principal
at
hilltop.
This
is
the
second
meeting
in
a
row.
C
I've
thanked
louise
de
jesus,
so
people
are
going
to
talk,
but
I
have
just
got
to
say
that
both
of
the
principals
as
well
as
mr
mosher
here
and
his
team
were
very
very
helpful
for
us.
With
the
community
outreach,
we
provided
services
to
75
families
at
each
school,
so
150,
families
that
day
and
families
were
provided
with
food
with
clothing,
with
a
number
of
of
needs
that
they
had,
and
a
number
of
other
non-profit
groups
participated
in
those
the
event
at
both
of
those
schools
and
the
second.
C
I
think
that
I
wanted
to
mention
again
it's
a
thank
you
to
shauna
kaufman,
the
principal
at
arnold,
elementary
as
well
as
the
the
entire
faculty
and
and
the
student
body
there
of
yesterday,
mrs
hummer
and
I
had
the
privilege
of
being
at
their
blue
ribbon
event
their
celebration
event,
and
I
thought
it
was
just
an
exciting
day
with
you
know
the
mascot
from
the
terps,
the
bowie
bay
socks,
as
well
as
arnold
elementary
zone.
C
So
you
know
just
kudos
to
arnold,
mrs
kaufman
and
her
entire
faculty.
B
B
I
Good
evening
president
corbillac,
dr
arlatto
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
christina
dyson
and
I
am
the
second
vice
president
of
the
chesapeake
regional
association
of
student
councils.
Crass
is
looking
forward
to
an
upcoming
event.
On
december
5th,
we
are
partnering
with
avid
to
identify
undiscovered
student
leaders
to
attend
rookies
in
the
lead.
I
This
is
an
orientation
conference
where
students
in
grades
7
through
10,
will
learn
about
opportunities
and
pathways
to
leadership.
In
our
school
system
and
community.
We
will
focus
on
mapping
out
goals
and
learning
more
about
existing
leadership
structures.
Breakout
sections
will
be
offered
in
both
spanish
and
english.
I
I
With
that
in
mind,
we'd
like
to
take
this
moment
to
express
compassion,
empathy
and
tolerance
across
the
nation.
Young
people
have
organized
demonstrations
as
an
expression
of
frustration
for
many
youth,
such
as
those
too
young
to
vote.
These
walkouts
and
rallies
may
be
their
only
platform
for
political
activism
through
other
avenues
for
expression
and
engagement,
though
other
avenues
for
expression
and
engagement
may
exist.
I
We
encourage
students
who
feel
suppressed
or
disenfranchised
to
come
to
a
crash
meeting.
Crasque
is
an
affirmative
space
where
the
student
voice
is
honored.
We
have
meetings
coming
up
on
november
30th
december
7th
and
december
14th
right
here
at
the
carol
parham
building
at
6
30
pm
we'd
like
to
thank
aacps
for
supporting
and
encouraging
civil
engagement
and
political
activism.
B
B
K
K
As
I
travel
around
the
country,
I
talk
about
the
fact
that
we
have
a
student
member
on
our
board
and
an
awesome
organization
that
prepares
our
young
people
to
be
leaders
and
so
tonight.
That
speech
should
be
televised
if
it
hasn't.
If
you
haven't
done
it,
it
should
be
the
first
thing
that
you
put
on
the
radio
station,
because
everyone
should
have
an
opportunity
to
hear
her.
K
I'm
alderwoman
sheila
finlayson.
I
represent
ward
4
in
the
city
of
annapolis,
prior
educator,
35
years
with
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools
and
once
a
teacher,
always
the
teacher
I'm
here
this
evening.
However,
to
represent
the
annapolis
city
council
and
to
read
to
you
a
resolution
that
we
passed
on
monday
night,
it
is
resolution.
K
The
annapolis
city
council
supports
a
redistricting
redistricting
process
that
focuses
on
the
existing
cluster
of
schools
and
their
natural
boundaries
within
the
city
annapolis
cluster.
Whereas
the
city
council
understands
that
these
redistricting
evolutions
are
emotionally
draining
and
may
cause
great
consternation
and
high
tensions
and
whereas
to
ensure
equitable
education
for
all
children
in
the
annapolis
cluster.
K
The
annapolis
city
council
supports
the
current
redistricting
effort
in
order
to
better
offer
necessary
relief
to
the
overcrowding
within
our
schools
be
resolved
by
the
annapolis
city
council.
This
resolution
is
a
statement
of
full
support
of
the
annapolis
city
feeder
system
and
the
redistricting
in
2016-17
and
again
it's
signed
by
all
of
the
members
at
least
seven
members
of
the
city
council
and
the
mayor.
K
K
It
is
time
we
know
that
it
is
difficult.
It
is
painful,
it
is
emotional,
it's
expensive
even,
but
it
is
necessary
at
some
point
in
the
not
distant
future,
but
the
near
future.
The
monarch
school
will
come
on
board
and
that
will
hopefully
alleviate
some
of
the
overcrowding,
but
it
will
not
solve
the
problem.
K
B
We'll
move
on
to
the
public
comment
portion
of
the
meeting.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
an
item
that
is
not
on
today's
agenda
may
offer
testimony
during
this
public
comment.
Portion
of
the
meeting
speakers
will
be
allotted
three
minutes
each
and
the
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
the
meeting
student
specific
and
personnel
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
forum.
This
time
is
intended
for
speakers
to
voice
their
opinion
and
not
necessarily
as
a
question
in
the
answer
period.
B
Speakers
may
pose
questions,
but
answers
will
be
counted
toward
the
three-minute
allotment.
For
the
record,
please
give
your
name
before
speaking
and
handouts
should
be
given
to
the
board
assistant.
I
will
call
up
the
first
group.
I
think
we
have
about
25
cards,
marilyn,
dillard,
deontay,
ward,
kevontae,
coleman,
denshell,
thomas
odessa,
ellis
and
jonathan
hill.
B
L
Is
this
loud
enough?
Okay,
odessa
ellis
concerned
citizens
for
successful
students,
I'm
speaking
on
the
behalf
of
the
voiceless
children
in
anne
arundel
and
county
public
schools,
the
children
that
are
in
the
news
weekly,
not
good
news,
but
bad
news,
and
I
have
copies
of
the
newspaper
here
of
of
the
student
that
was
just.
L
At
the
high
school
last
you
know
last
week
and
he
and
he's
17
years
old
and
the
15
year
old
are
being
arrested.
This
is
being
done
on
a
regular
basis
just
about
every
week.
When
I
pick
up
the
newspapers,
I
see
somebody
that
I
know
at
the
you
know
from
annapolis,
high
school
or
other
schools
being
arrested.
So
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
these
students.
L
L
L
So
tonight,
I'm
speaking
in
particular
about
this
one
group
african-american
males
they
are
being
suspended
at
an
alarming
rate
and
test
scores,
show
them
performing
low
in
academics.
They
are
very,
very
needy.
Their
challenges
are
great
and
in
many
instances
teachers
are
overwhelmed
daily,
with
their
struggles
of
lack
of
motivation,
behavior
and
under
achievement.
L
L
I
think
that
we
need
to
have
periodic
assemblies
also
for
them
and
provide
other
support
tools
like
intramural
sports
that
can
reduce
the
high
suspension,
low
academic
performance
and
dropout
or
expulsion
rate
among
african-american
males.
Also,
it's
my
understanding
that
the
mentor
program-
panther
promise
middle
college
is
being
discontinued,
and
this
is
the
last
year
at
annapolis.
High
school
panther
promise
is
a
highly
successful
program
to
help
males
with
their
academics
and
motivates
them
to
achieve
to
achieve
higher
goals.
L
It
started
out
as
the
journal
douglas
and
was
continuing
at
annapolis
high,
but
because
of
funding,
it
will
not
be
continued
next
year,
so
I'm
asking
the
board
to
provide
the
funds
to
reinstate
panther
promise
because
it
has
proven
to
be
successful.
This
is
my
last
little
paragraph.
Finally,
we
have
an
excellent
staff
and
teachers
at
annapolis,
high
and
throughout
the
county.
In
spite
of
the
challenges
they
stay,
they
stay
there
at
the
school
because
they
care
about
our
children.
They
have
established
and
built
enrich
relationships
over
time
with
them,
but
they
too
need
help.
L
They
work
hard
and
face
daily
the
challenges
that
impede
student
successes
they
give
support
emotionally
academically
and
and
financially
when
the
board
addresses
the
needs
of
these
low
achievers.
You
are
also
addressing
the
help
you
are
also
addressing
help
and
support
for
our
teachers,
so,
let's
think
about
a
county-wide
initiative
addressing
the
needs
of
african-american,
males
and
others
who
are
falling
through
the
cracks.
Thank
you
and
kevontae
would
like
to
say
something
because
he's
he's
part
of
the
program.
Panther
promise,
miller
college.
M
My
name
is
kevontae
coleman
and
I'm
part
of
the
panther
promise
program.
The
powerful
promise
program
is
something
for
the
blacks
and
the
latinos.
That's
in
our
school.
It's
not
like
a
really
big
group,
but
it's
a
small
group
and
it
started
off
about
going
to
college.
But
then,
after
the
years
went
on
it's
more
about
blacks
and
latinos,
succeeding
in
society
today,
because
our
group
is
being
perceived
as
this
and
that
we
basically
just
want
to
change
that
about
going
to
college
and
being
successful
and.
N
N
Programs
of
mentoring
to
our
students
at
annapolis,
high
school
at
our
students
at
our
southwestern
high
school
high
school
middle
school,
elementary
school
has
been
proven
to
work
because
in
middle
schools,
there's
a
thing
called:
backpack
buddies,
they're,
mentor
programs,
anything
with
in
elementary
schools.
They
have
mentoring
programs.
We
all
talked
about
it
earlier
by
saying
you
all
visited
elementary
schools
and
saw
great
success.
N
So
I
feel
that
we
should
implement
the
success
of
into
our
high
schools
and
implement
the
programs
of
like
supporting
the
momentous
programs
having
adults
come
in
and
talk
with
the
students
to
achieve
better
success,
because
mentors
are
the
people
in
the
tool
that
let
the
student
know
that
you
have.
You
have
a
talent,
and
I
see
this
talent
and
I
can
achieve
the
success
of
this
talent.
N
The
teachers
are
doing
a
great
job
at
it,
but
if
you
think
about
it,
there's
like
a
30,
a
30
to
one
ratio
for
a
teacher,
and
they
can't
interact
with
all
the
students
and
like
I'm,
going
to
help
you
with
every
single
thing,
because
you
know
what
one
teacher
30
students
by
like
six
classes.
That's
a
lot
of
students
to
have
that's
a
lot
of
pressure.
N
So
I
believe
that
if
we
implement
the
success
of
having
a
mentoring
program
in
our
high
schools
and
our
communities
that
it
can
achieve
a
greater
success,
it
can
help
us
to
understand
that
we
care
about
them
that
we
want
to
support
them
in
every
single
way
possible
and
that
included
in
our
high
schools
and
in
our
elementary
schools
and
our
middle
schools,
which
is
why,
like
alice
cavante,
said
in
a
program
he's
in
it
helps
them.
It
helps
them
achieve
greater
success.
N
I'm
in
a
like
I'm
in
the
student
ambassador
for
my
panther
cafe
club,
and
also
I'm
an
avid
too,
with
a
lovely
teacher
who
wants
me
to
achieve
the
greatest
success
possible.
There's
a
bunch
of
teachers
at
our
school
who
love
us.
He
will
care
so
much
about.
They
risk
everything
for
us.
They
go
the
extra
mile.
N
They
go
all
the
way
and
they
don't
want
to
ever
see
a
kid
turn
down
or
see
a
kid
fail,
because
that's
success
in
that
reason,
so
as
I
say
again,
I
really
think
we
can
implement
this
because
jonathan
kennedy
once
said
before,
if
not
us
who,
if
not
now
one
and
that's,
why
I
think
we
should
do
that.
Thank
you
guys.
P
P
It's
like
they've,
never
gotten
in
any
trouble
in
elementary,
but
once
they
transition
to
the
middle
school,
that's
when
it
all
began,
and
so
two
of
them
ended
up
in
the
alternative
school,
which
is
a
disaster
I
hate
to
say,
and
then
now
one
of
them
has
left
the
alternative
school
and
having
a
really
hard
time.
Transitioning
here,
because
trent
the
alternative
school
teaches
very
differently
than
your
regular
public
school.
P
P
Q
Good
evening
my
name
is
jonathan
hill,
I'm
a
a
mentor,
a
community
activist
and
an
author.
I
was
at
a
napa
high
school
as
a
mentor.
Q
I
was
a
volunteer
mentor
and
the
program
that
I
was
in
it.
It
got
shut
down.
I'm
not
sure
why
I'm
not
sure
how,
but
what
I'm
here
to
say
is
that
when
I
was
in
this
program
I
talked
to
quite
a
few
young
men,
and
this
was
in
the
2012
and
13
year
and
I
still
am
in
contact
with
some
of
those
guys.
I've
seen
them
go
down.
Southern
united
states
come
back
up
and,
and
I've
seen
them
have
all
kinds
of
issues.
Q
Once
the
program
stopped,
I
was
able
to
talk
to
young
individuals.
I
was
given
an
hour
every
time
I
came
to
the
school.
These
young
individuals
were,
you
know
in
trouble
and
things
that
I
saw
until
you
know.
I
started
coming
to
the
schools
and
started
spending
an
hour
with
them
just
on
one
day
a
week,
and
I
was
able
to
talk
to
one
individual
about
you
know
his
drug
use
and
he
was
only
in
like
the
ninth
and
tenth
grade.
Q
Q
He
stood
up
and
said:
I'm
never
doing
drugs
again,
and
I
was
only
given
an
hour
once
a
week
with
these
young
guys
and
and
as
I
can
see,
with
the
meeting
with
the
whole
meeting
from
start
to
beginning,
I
had
their
attention
and
it's
not
like.
They
don't
want
to
pay
attention.
It's
not
like.
They
can't
pay
attention,
but
they
also
need
somebody
that
can
relate
to
them,
relate
to
the
things
that's
going
on
in
their
home.
Q
It's
kind
of
hard
for
them
to
you,
know
it's
kind
of
hard
to
implement
policy
and
implement
other
things
to
to
some
individuals
that
you
really
can't
relate
to,
because
you
don't
have
a
relationship
with
so
I'm
just
saying
as
a
mentor,
you
know
as
a
father,
I'm
a
father
of
eight
and,
like
I
said,
I'm
a
community
activist
and
I
have
my
children,
their
friends.
Q
They
come
over
to
me
and
you
know
and
talk
to
me
about
things
that
they
can't
talk
to
their
parents,
about
that
their
grandparents
or
even
their
other
best
friends,
and
we're
able
to
have
dialogue
on
a
level
that
they
understand,
and
I
understand
them.
I've
been
to
through
similar
issues
that
they've
been
through
and
we're
able
to
come
to
an
agreement
or
come
to
an
understanding
that
you
know
we
understand
each
other.
Q
I
understand
you
and
it's
not
it's
not
all
about
what
you've,
what
you're
going
through
it's
about
what
you're
setting
your
mind
to
go
through
in
the
future
and
without
that
mentorship
without
that
that
that
help
the
extra
help
when
they
come
to
school.
It's
like
they
say.
You
know
the
teachers
can't
do
it
all.
You
need
somebody
who
can
understand
and
relate
in
it
and
when
you
don't
have
anyone
to
understand
or
relate,
then
there's
no
relationship
with
anything
with
anyone.
Q
The
number
one
thing
that
I
was
teaching
them
to
understand
is
having
the
relationship
with
themselves
before
anyone
else
before
you
know.
I'm
sorry,
you
know
I'm
not
sorry
to
say,
but
you
know
before
your
parents,
you
have
to
understand
you.
You
have
to
understand
what
they're
trying
to
do
and
the
good
that
they're
trying
to
do,
and
I
know
tell
a
lot
of
them
young
guys.
Q
I
know
it's
hard
to
be
able
to
listen
to
everything
that
they
say
do,
but
most
of
the
things
are
for
your
good
and
just
to
say,
like
one
last
thing
to
show
you
to
give
an
example,
what
I
told
them
was
as
far
as
with
their
parents.
They
say
you
know,
we
really
don't
understand
our
parents
and
one
things
that
I
tell
them
is
you
have
to
realize
that
your
parents
had
a
life
before
you
and
you
know
they
weren't?
Q
Maybe
they
weren't
able
to
go
through
and
sift
through
all
their
issues
before
you
came
along
and
a
lot
of
those
young
guys
the
parents
were,
they
were
product
of
their
parents,
trying
to
find
maybe
love
in
some
certain
situations,
only
to
have
a
child
and
realize
that
they
hadn't
finished
with
the
issues
that
they
had
in
the
first
place,
and
it
became
even
worse
with
a
child.
So
I'm
just
saying
that
you
know
mentors
do
a
lot.
Q
It's
not
just
sitting
and
talking
it's
understanding
their
relationships
and
get
them
getting
them
to
learn
how
to
be
themselves
even
in
the
presence
of
adversity
and
and
fear
pressure.
R
I'm
sorry
how's
everybody
thanks
for
the
opportunity.
My
name
is
deontay
ward
and
I'm
the
ceo
of
black
wall
street
of
annapolis,
and
this
program
is
aimed
to
educate
young
entrepreneurs
on
how
to
become
financial,
literate
professionalism
and
some
characteristics
of
leadership.
I'm
also
the
founder
of
connected
kids,
which
is
a
program
to
empower
the
elementary
school
children
to
chase
their
dreams
and
to
keep
fighting
for
success,
and
I
am
the
director
of
a
program
called
skio,
which
is
to
enlighten
troubled
teenagers
and
to
keep
them
on
course,
and
being
positive.
R
I'm
also
the
father
of
lola
may,
which
is
the
granddaughter
of
michelle
umhill,
so
she's
been
talking
or
we've
been
talking
back
and
forth,
and
she's
been
telling
me
about,
like
some
of
the
programs
that
y'all
are
trying
to
put
into
the
school.
The
early
literacy
for
elementary
school
she's
talked
to
me
about
the
math
programs
that
you
are
trying
to
put
into
the
middle
schools,
and
she's
also
talked
to
me
about
the
9th
grade.
R
I'm
27
years
old,
and
some
of
the
programs
that
I
was
involved
in
that
are
not
offered
in
the
school
are
called
gear
up,
which
was
the
early
awareness
program
for
college,
and
I
actually
went
to
trade
school
because
of
this
program.
I
graduated
in
the
top
of
my
class,
I'm
a
couple
months
away
from
opening
my
third
company,
so
that
was
definitely
a
big
success.
R
I
was
also
a
part
of
a
program
which
was
called
vision
workshop,
which
is
offered
at
maryland
hall,
and
this
program
was
a
program
that
we
took
pictures
and
then
we
wrote
about
these
pitches
and
at
this
time
frame
I
believe
I
was
in
eighth
grade
going
into
high
school
and
it
was
a
big
incident
in
my
community.
So
I
had
the
opportunity
to
capture
it
and
I
wrote
about
it
and
it
touched
a
lot
of
people
and
it
was
vice
versa,
because
some
people
was
in
communities
better
than
mine.
R
I'm
already
doing
these
programs
in
my
community,
but
I
think
if
I
had
the
chance
to
get
into
the
schools,
I
could
actually
test
some
of
the
people.
That's
not
a
part
of
my
community.
If
I
could
get
just
a
few
more
seconds,
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
outcomes
of
like
me
being
able
to
put
this
program
into
the
school
as
less
violence,
more
success
in
my
community
and
a
higher
education
rate
or
a
higher
success
rate
for
a
lot
of
the
kids.
R
B
Thank
you
all
for
coming
out
tonight,
but
especially
denchell
and
kevontae,
for
advocating
for
yourselves
and
your
classmates.
That's
very
special.
S
H
No,
we
don't
have
a
no
there's,
no
there's
no
board
policy
on
mentoring.
No,
we
have
processes
and
procedures
that
we
follow
when
we
are
bringing
folks
into
the
buildings
in
terms
of
figuring
working
with
our
students,
we
have
background
safety
checks,
background
checks,
fingerprinting,
if
we're
going
to
be
bringing
student,
if
we're
going
to
bring
folks
that
are
not
part
of
our
immediate
community
into
part
of
acps
to
work
with
our
students.
H
H
So
it's
something
that
we
need
the
community
to
come
in
folks
that
want
to
come
in
and
volunteer
their
time
and
work
with
our
students,
because,
as
you
heard
from
these
young
folks,
the
the
teachers
are
doing
a
phenomenal
job
of
working
with
their
children
and
then
it
takes
yet
another
step
right.
The
because
there's
the
end
of
the
school
day,
there's
the
end
of
football
practices.
H
The
end
of
play
practice
and
then
the
students
still
need
somebody
they
need
to
talk
with
and
meet
with
and
and
and
that
can
speak
at
their
level
and
sort
of
understand
who
they
are
sort
of
what
you
are,
what
you're
referring
to.
So
there
is
no
policy
that
directs
it.
We
have
processes
and
procedures
to
bring
people
in
and
to
make
sure
that
our
students
are
safe
and
our
communities
are
safe
as
we're
bringing
people
in,
but
then
we're
trying
to
do
much
more
outreach.
H
Much
of
what
mr
olsen
and
his
office
are
doing
is
is
outreach
to
bring
folks
in
and
work
with
our
students.
So
again,
there's
a,
but
there
is
a
never-ending
need
and
never
grows.
It's
continues
to
grow
for
us
in
students
that
need
adults
to
talk
to
more
adults
in
their
lives.
S
Follow-Up
question.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
understand
that
you
know
the
protocols
about
safety.
Obviously
that
all
makes
sense,
but
is
there
one
specific
step
that
you
could
recommend,
for
example,
to
this
gentleman
who's
taken
the
time
to
come
here
and
talk
about
these
issues,
and
he
says
he
wants
to
do
more.
What
would
be
the
first
concrete
thing
that
he
should
do
if
he
actually
wants
to
put
in
place
a
mentorship
program
at
a
specific
school.
H
Well,
it
begins
with
a
conversation
with
the
principal
at
the
school
and
then
he
can
also
work
with
mr
alston,
and
we
can
make
some
of
those
connections
right.
So
we
want
we
want
to
be
able
to
when,
when
people
are
ready
to
volunteer,
I'm
ready
to
spread
them
across
127
schools
right
that
can't
happen
right.
So
we
have
to
find
out
what
what
their
ability
is,
how
many
folks
they
think
they
can
reach
do
they
have
others
that
will
follow
them
from
their
community.
It
could
be
their
church.
H
It
could
be
a
community
group
that
wants
to
come
and
volunteer
so
they
sit
down
with
us.
I
met
with
the
gentleman
just
this
past
week
who
came
in
and
introduced
himself
to
me
who
I've
known
in
the
community
and
part
of
his
ministries.
He
wants
to
get
more
into
schools
and
do
volunteer
works
and
have
more
male
adult
males
in
schools
to
work
with
and
do
some
mentoring.
H
S
G
L
N
And
also
through
the
past
recent
years
of
the
panther,
cafe
being
a
thing,
it
has
been
shortened
by
a
different
time
because
it
was
three
days
to
two
days
to
one
day.
So
it
has
been
shortened,
but
I
don't
think
it's
going
away.
N
But
I
also
want
to
say
one
more
thing:
if
you
guys
don't
mind,
I'm
sorry
if
it
cuts
the
time,
but
with
the
panther
catholic
okay,
with
the
panther,
with
the
panther
cafe
club
that
we
have
there,
the
kids
come
in
there
and
then
you
can
see
them
and
we
serve
them
with
like
delicious,
like
snacks
and
stuff
like
that,
and
they
can
come
in
there
and
express
ourselves.
There's
a
thing
with
the
teacher
named
miss
jackson.
N
She
comes
in
with
the
students
and
she
talks
with
them
and
they
like
have
these
games
going
like
they
can
play
like.
Could
hoot
like
kahoot
like
a
electronic
phone
game
you
play
or
like
you,
listen
to
music
and
you
dance
to
the
music
or
sing
along
or
even
just
sitting
there
reading
a
book
or
just
talking
and
rapping
and
beatboxing
with
each
other
just
having
a
game
going
on,
and
then
I
like
wanted
to.
Also
add
to
it
too
that
before
I
came
here
to
speak,
I
had
a
little
like
thing.
N
N
They
just
need
to
worry
about
and
when
they're,
a
more
demand
for
them
coming
after
school
than
there
is
demand
coming
during
school,
like
a
lunch,
for
example,
and
I
have
reached
out
to
so
many
of
them
just
like
annapolis,
ep,
there's
brawn,
neck
ep
and
then
there's
a
big
red,
gp
and
then
there's
another
one,
and
then
there's
also
my
mentor
that
I
have
of
mine
because
you
know
when
I
grew
up
in
a
neighborhood.
I
grew
up
in
there's
no
structure
to
it.
N
I'm
just
waiting-
and
I
feel
like
that,
with
the
help
of
talking
to
you
guys
that
we
can
implement
that,
and
we
can
make
it
happen
because
you
know
what,
when,
when
it
comes
to
education,
it's
not
about
filling
up
a
pale
but
about
starting
a
fire,
and
we
can
do
that
with
our
children.
We
can
do
that
in
our
community.
We
can
do
that
in
our
school
because
there
are
people
who
are
at
the
call
who
are
at
the
response
is
waiting
for
a
key
to
open
the
door
and
say:
let's
do
this.
O
Excuse
me
if
I
get
emotional,
but
I
just
want
to
commend
you
all
for
coming
out
here
and
speaking
on
this
issue,
because
it's
such
a
huge
issue
in
the
community-
and
we
cannot
expect
to
push
past
this
if
no
one
addresses
it
so
don't
stop.
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
you
come
up
here
and
that
you're
letting
us
know
when
I
apologize
again
if
I
start
crying,
but
this
is
so
important.
O
L
A
G
He's
based
right
here
in
annapolis,
so
before
you
leave,
if
I
can
get
a
number,
because
it's
really
an
outstanding
program
and
as
far
as
he's
concerned,
our
children
are
not
color
coded.
We
are
all
human
race,
so
I
just
sort
of
thought
he
was
really
really
outstanding
and
he
is
an
african-american
person,
but
I
mean
he
speaks
fluently.
I
mean
he
really
is
somebody
that
would
be
great
for
this
organization
and
what
you're
trying
to
do?
Okay,.
G
B
T
Thank
you
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
president
core
black
vice
president
hummer
other
distinguished
board
members,
dr
elata
and
friends.
My
name
is
robert
silkworth
and
I
am
the
chairperson
of
the
high
school
concerns
committee
from
tac
and
I'm
here
to
give
you
an
update
on
our
recent
meeting
during
the
meeting
which
took
place
on
november
9th
2016.
There
were
some
concerns
raised
about
the
new
grading
regulations
and
how
they're
being
interpreted
by
some
individual
schools
in
a
manner
that
we
believe
is
not
really
consistent
with
the
intent
of
the
grading
regulations.
T
T
The
main
focus
of
the
meeting,
however,
was
about
safe
and
orderly
schools,
and
I'm
going
to
try
to
do
this
in
a
positive
way.
It's
been
reported
to
us
that
there
are
some
secondary
schools
where
some
staff
members,
including
secretaries,
advocates
teachers
and
others,
are
expressing
concerns
about
safety.
T
What
we
do
know
is
that
99.9
percent
of
our
students
do
on
a
daily
basis
exactly
what
we
want
them
to
do.
They
come
to
school
with
a
positive
attitude
and
they
do
achieve
the
small
number
who
do
not,
unfortunately,
can
upset
the
apple
cart,
and
this
is
evidently
happening
in
some
schools.
No
one
is
pointing
any
fingers,
that's
not
a
a
blame
game.
T
Rather
it's
an
attempt
to
guarantee
that
everyone
works
and
learns
and
teaches
in
a
safe
environment
those
students
who
are
not
meeting
our
expectations
have
the
same
dreams
and
aspirations
of
all
of
our
students.
They
just
have
some
baggage,
which
is
getting
in
the
way
of
their
success,
and
it
is
also
having
a
negative
impact
on
the
other
99
percent.
T
The
issue
of
restorative
practices
was
discussed.
There
are
some
who
have
been
trained
in
the
use
of
restorative
practices.
Some
who
know
a
great
deal
about
them.
I
have
had
some
very
open
and
frank
conversations
with
some
administrators
about
the
potential
effectiveness
of
the
strategies,
and
I
have
been
somewhat
convinced
about
the
great
potential.
T
I
believe
that
we
really
need
to
provide
some
additional
resources
for
them,
some
help
and
hope,
and
including
the
issue
of
mentors
which
was
recently
discussed
so
that
they
can
provide
services
as
needed
to
the
students
that
are
in
crisis,
so
that
all
of
our
schools
can
be
safe.
Anything
that
you
can
do
any
resources
would
be
greatly
appreciated.
T
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
our
next
meeting
will
be
held
on
december,
the
14th
at
the
tac
office
at
3,
40
and
everyone
is
invited
and
welcome,
and
I
always
try
to
end
with
the
kudos
and
I'd
like
to
send
out
a
shout
again
this
evening
to
katrina
griffin,
who
is
on
her
way,
I
believe,
to
the
national
conference
for
actful,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
for
a
potential
national
award
she's
going
to
represent
as
well
good
job
katrina.
Thank
you,
ladies
and
gentlemen,.
U
Good
evening
dr
arlato
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
brendan.
Maltese,
anne
arundel
county
became
my
home
when
my
family
moved
here
in
seventh
grade
after
college.
I
spent
two
years
teaching
at
a
private
school
in
baltimore,
but
I
made
the
decision
to
come
back
home,
and
this
is
my
fourth
year
back.
I
married
my
wife
two
summers
ago
and
convinced
her
to
move
from
her
home
in
calvert
county
up
to
here,
where
she
now
also
teaches
we're
currently
in
the
process
of
buying
a
home.
U
Looking
at
our
projected
monthly
payment,
we
know
we're
going
to
be
living
on
a
tight
budget
in
our
new
home,
but
if
our
paychecks
stick
to
the
published
schedule
and
we
receive
reasonable
cost
of
living
adjustments,
we're
going
to
be
just
fine
in
a
couple
years.
I'm
hesitant
about
this,
though,
because
I
know
many
of
my
colleagues
made
similar
assessments
of
their
financials
back
in
2008
and
that
temporarily,
tight
budget
has
overstayed
its
welcome.
U
U
I
understand
the
budget
process
and
I
know
that
you
can't
do
any
of
this.
If
our
county
government
doesn't
fund
it,
I've
done
my
share
of
contacting
the
county,
executive
and
councilman,
unfortunately,
no
matter
how
we
present
our
case.
We
get
labeled
as
greedy
union
thugs
asking
for
more
money
every
year.
U
U
While
I
think
the
school
calendar
is
fine,
I
guess
given
the
circumstances,
it's
troubling
that
teachers
end
up
taking
blame,
even
though
all
of
the
opportunities
for
us
to
publicly
voice
input
in
this
room
were
during
school
hours
and
tack
isn't
even
allowed
to
negotiate
the
calendar.
We
don't
deserve
that.
Blame,
however,
we're
the
ones
who
take
it,
and
I
saw
no
effort
by
the
school
system
to
come
to
our
defense
and
correct
that
record.
U
Look
I'm
not
here
to
get
rich.
I
just
want
to
have
some
assurance
that
I'll
be
able
to
live
comfortably.
I
want
to
be
able
to
spend
my
free
time
with
family
and
friends
instead
of
writing
and
delivering
testimony
or
boring
my
wife
to
death
by
watching
government
proceedings
on
tv
being
involved
in
this
process,
isn't
a
hobby
that
I
particularly
want
to
have,
but
I
do
it
for
the
future
of
my
family
and
my
students.
U
V
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
sebastian
serrano
and
my
job
is
to
teach
ap
physics
and
esau
matter
and
energy
at
annapolis,
high
school.
When
I
come
here,
I'm
cognizant
of
whom
I
represent
my
students.
However,
I'm
a
25
year
old
third
year
teacher
trying
to
make
things
work
in
annapolis,
I've
continued
developing
as
a
teacher.
I've
pursued
more
scientific
knowledge
and
I've
established
a
lifestyle
within
a
dynamic
and
tightening
budget,
as
best
I
can.
But
this
isn't
about
just
me
if
it
were
I'd,
send
you
an
email
and
stay
home
tonight.
V
This
week
I've
introduced
students
to
maxwell's
equations
conservation
of
energy
and
ph
testing,
while
checking
in
with
three
different
scientific
research
and
development
projects
on
my
own
time
during
planning
periods.
So
I
admit
it's
quite
a
process
and
I'm
a
little
tired,
I'm
here,
because
there's
an
elephant
in
the
room.
I've
talked
to
you,
union
leadership
co-workers
about
it.
We
all
know
it
exists
and
we
know
it
isn't
sustainable
when
a
school
has
about
150
teachers
and
approximately
one-third
of
them
50
teachers
have
less
than
three
years
full
experience.
V
Even
if
I
go
with
the
number
our
county
government
computed
of
fifteen
to
one
student
to
faculty
ratio,
that
means
that
at
any
one
time
there
can
be
seven
hundred
and
fifty
students
sitting
in
a
classroom
with
an
untenured
teacher.
This
says
nothing
against
the
teachers
or
the
students.
People
keep
trying
to
square
the
circle.
750
students
in
a
classroom
without
a
10-year
teacher
have
nothing
to
do
with
those
teachers
nor
those
students
abilities.
It
speaks
volumes
about
the
county's
lack
of
stability.
V
Part
of
the
problem
is
that
the
numbers
don't
appear
consistent
expenditures
on
teacher
salaries
in
anne
arundel
county
range,
from
243
million
to
496
million.
Depending
on
where
you
look,
I'm
sure
officials
here
tonight
will
announce
different
numbers
further
proving
the
point
so
which
one
is
it,
and
I
have
a
graph
here
that
I
can
give
you
later
to
represent
that
within
that
gap
is
far
more
than
the
20
million
dollar
health
care
shortfall.
That
was
reported
by
the
capital
in
april.
That
people
cannot
agree
on
whether
the
numbers
are
this
far
off.
V
Then
it's
no
wonder
that
the
public
is
split
on
education
spending.
It's
no
wonder
that
there
are
fellow
teachers
that
can
misunderstand
that
there
are
former
challenged
school
teachers
requesting
to
negotiate
our
five
thousand
dollars
back
the
money
that
we
lost.
We
made
less
money
in
2015
and
16
than
in
the
previous
year.
This
simple
truth
has
confused
people
for
some
reason:
there's
a
myth
out
there
among
people
that
if
my
co-workers
and
I
get
the
money
that
we
lost
back,
then
nobody
will
ever
get
a
raise
again
or
others
will
somehow
lose
money.
V
When
this
is
not
an
attack.
I
expect
better
than
binary
thinking
on
all
sides
of
this
issue.
If
we
want
to
convince
our
kids
that
education
is
the
way
to
a
better
future,
that
the
american
dream
is
a
real
thing
and
that
successful
and
hard
work
is
noticed,
then
we
better
start
following
through.
On
our
end,
our
founders
establish
american
public
schools.
Let's
maintain
and
foster
their
success,
because
watching
10
and
11
year,
veteran
teachers
leave
last
year
in
unison,
was
a
tough
site
to
witness.
We
must
maintain
our
experience
and
grow
our
successes.
X
Good
evening
dr
arlotto
president
corbin
members
of
the
board,
I'm
going
to
start
by
telling
a
hopefully
kind
of
short
story
about
the
beginning
of
my
year.
So
far
it's
been.
Everybody
came
back
to
school
with
a
lot
of
excitement,
there's
that
trepidation
about
starting
a
new
year
and
you
kind
of
get
into
the
groove
and
for
the
second
year
in
a
row
almost
to
the
day.
On
the
same
day,
in
the
end
of
september,
I
came
down
with
a
terrible
respiratory
infection.
X
Last
year
it
was
pneumonia,
both
two
years
in
a
row.
I
missed
two
full
weeks
of
school,
which
is
like
two
months
in
teacher
time,
and
this
year
it
took
me
seven
weeks
to
get
my
voice
totally
back.
It
was.
It
was
awful,
I
think
at
that
point.
In
the
year
your
the
initial
excitement
wears
off
and
you
start
to
kind
of
fall
apart.
X
X
I
made
sure
I
had
my
lunch,
my
purse,
all
my
stuff,
and
I
got
my
house
keys
and
I
stepped
out
of
my
house
and
I
felt
cold
ground
on
my
foot,
because
I
hadn't
put
my
shoes
on
which
at
first
made
me
chuckle
and
then
really
alarmed
me
that
I'm
functioning
at
such
a
high
level
of
stress
that
I
left
the
house
without
shoes
on
I'm
35.
I've
been
doing
this
a
while.
I
take
good
care
of
myself
so
that
it
was
funny,
but
it
alarmed
me
and
then
just
this
past
week
at
school.
X
I
got
a
note
this
note
from
some
students,
I'm
an
elementary
teacher
yesterday
that
they
say
dear
miss
beers.
It's
our
it's
only
tuesday
and
you're
already
tired
at
the
beginning
of
the
year.
It
was
much
nicer.
I
would
like
it
if,
on
thursday,
we
could
pretend
that
it
was
the
beginning
of
the
year,
and
it
made
me
really
sad
and
it
made
me
feel
really
bad
as
a
teacher,
and
then
I
came
in
this
morning
and
from
the
same
two
students
there
were
treats
for
me
on
my
desk.
X
A
stuffed
animal
and
hershey
kisses
and
a
note
that
said:
let's
make
today
the
best
day
ever
so
my
point
is
elementary
teachers,
at
least
all
the
ones
that
I
know
are
drowning.
We
are
drowning
and
it
trickles
down
through
us,
despite
our
best
intentions,
to
shield
our
students,
it
gets
to
them
and
by
third
graders.
They
see
it,
they
feel
it
I'm
in
my
ninth
year.
It
should
be
feeling
easier
by
now
and
it's
not
so
I'm
going
to
skip
a
lot
of
what
else
I
had
had
to
say.
X
I
know
very
talented
teachers
that
are
starting
to
look
for
different
positions.
Some
in
secondary
some
outside
of
education.
We've
got
a
real
crisis
in
elementary
between
new
mandates,
programs,
f,
p,
slo
e-gate.
You
know
all
the
acronyms
that
you
know
we
can't
do
it
all
and
right
now
none
of
us
feel
like
we're
doing
any
of
it
particularly
well,
and
that's
not
the
kind
of
teacher
I
want
to
be
so
that's
very
challenging
to
go
to
school
every
day
and
feel
like
I'm,
not
doing
the
job
that
I
know
I
could
be
doing
so.
X
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
sharon
moselle,
I'm
a
south
county
resident
a
deal
elementary
parent
and
an
apples,
high
school
teacher.
This
is
my
10th
year
at
a
challenge
school,
my
sixth
year
at
annapolis,
for
the
record,
while
I'm
a
member
of
the
teachers
association,
I
do
not
presume
to
speak
on
behalf
of
any
teacher
other
than
myself.
J
I
want
to
talk
about
the
connection
between
teacher
retention
and
student
achievement,
we're
all
familiar
with
the
equality
versus
equity
cartoon
that
shows
three
children
trying
to
look
over
a
fence
to
watch
a
baseball
game.
Each
child
is
a
different
height.
The
first
picture
shows
all
three
children
standing
on
the
same
size
box
that
works
for
two
of
the
children.
The
third
and
smallest
child
cannot
see
over
the
fence
until
he
is
given
another
box
to
stand
on
the
students
in
our
most
challenged.
Schools
are
that
third
child.
J
J
According
to
a
recent
study
by
the
learning
policy
institute,
this
large
study
the
turnover
rate
in
title
one
schools
is
nearly
fifty
percent
higher
than
that
in
non-title.
One
schools,
as
the
authors
put
it
when
there
are
not
enough
teachers
to
go
around
the
schools
with
the
fewest
resources
and
least
desirable
working
conditions,
are
the
ones
left
for
the
vacancies,
and
studies
show
that
high
teacher
turnover
rates
have
been
found
to
negatively
affect
the
achievement
of
all
students
in
a
school.
J
The
act
includes
a
subsection
whereby
funds
are
to
be
included
in
the
state
operating
budget
to
provide
stipends
to
secondary
teachers
and
economically
disadvantaged
schools.
By
matching
funds
from
a
county
grant
with
this
act,
the
state
of
maryland
has
finally
recognized
that
certain
schools
and
the
teachers
in
those
schools
require
additional
support
if
their
students
are
to
be
successful.
J
I'm
here
tonight
to
ask
you,
dr
alato,
to
include
in
your
budget
funding
to
provide
a
stipend
to
teachers
meeting
the
parameters
set
forth
in
the
teacher
retention
act.
A
stipend
may
not
be
the
best
measure
to
address
teacher
attention.
It
is
certainly
not
the
only
measure
but
funding
these
stipends
would
begin
to
address
the
exodus
of
teachers
from
our
most
challenged
schools.
J
J
This
would
do
a
great
disservice
to
our
most
vulnerable
students.
Aecps
has
been
a
leader
in
providing
for
these
students
with
our
challenge
school
stipends
in
the
annapolis
high
school
mou.
Let's
not
concede
that
leadership
role
now
that
others
have
finally
realized
what
we
have
always
known,
that
supporting
equity
ensures
success
for
all.
Thank
you
and
go
panthers.
Y
Y
I
would
like
to
ask
right
now
anyone
who
is
in
this
room
that
supports
the
fair
compensation
for
our
teachers
to
please
stand
and
support
this
time.
Last
year
this
room
was
overflowing
into
the
hallway,
with
teachers
who
testified
until
well.
After
midnight,
parents
fought
alongside
teachers
for
months.
Y
As
you
can
see,
the
audience
tonight
is
a
little
different,
but
please
don't
mistake
this
for
complacency.
The
effort
it
took
last
year
left
our
teachers
emotionally
and
physically
drained
faced
with
another
year
of
advocating
or
focusing
their
energy
in
their
classrooms.
Many
have
chosen
the
latter
as
a
parent.
That
makes
me
really
proud
that
our
teachers
put
their
students
first,
but
as
a
human
it
concerns
me.
Teachers
have
described
their
advocacy
work
as
exhausting
disheartening,
discouraging
and
humiliating.
Y
Y
Y
What
a
waste
of
invested
dollars
in
that
teacher
to
have
them
potentially
leave
for
good
what
a
waste
of
valuable
relationships
that
teacher
has
built
with
their
students,
there's
a
problem
with
the
scenario
being
an
option,
but
it's
a
scenario.
A
lot
of
teachers
are
considering
a
few
months
ago
our
teachers
were
given
a
ray
of
hope
through
the
work
that
elected
officials,
youth
board
and
tac.
One
step
was
given
to
all
eligible
employees.
This
is
just
the
beginning.
Y
You
are
the
first
and
last
step
in
compensating
our
teachers.
If
you
do
not
make
teacher
compensation
a
priority
in
the
budget,
then
who
else
will
we
have
an
amazing
and
wonderful
opportunity
for
our
kids
with
the
programs
that
we
offer
them?
But
we
can't
offer
those
programs
if
we
don't
have
the
teachers
to
teach
them.
We
can't
go
back
and
fix
things
in
the
past,
but
we
also
cannot
afford
to
move
forward
in
the
right
direction.
B
AA
AA
In
discussions
with
my
colleagues,
I
have
been
asked
directly
of
my
assessment
of
this
board
support.
I
have
assured
them
more
than
once
that
you
are
on
our
side.
However,
it
is
becoming
a
difficult
argument
for
my
colleagues
to
take
seriously
teachers
in
other
counties
in
this
state
can
take
their
step
increases
for
granted
when
this
is
consistently
not
the
case
here,
it
does
not
look
like
support.
AA
AA
AA
People
must
be
certain
that
their
basic
needs
are
met
and
too
many
of
our
teachers
do
not
have
the
security
and
you're
not
getting
the
best
of
us
you're,
getting
the
versions
of
us
working,
multiple
jobs
or
postponing
our
own
goals
of
purchasing
a
house
or
starting
a
family,
and
this
is
just
draining-
and
I
know
your
job
is
difficult.
Tens
of
thousands
of
students
depend
on
your
good
judgment.
AA
AB
Good
evening
victoria
katona
chesapeake
high
school
as
teachers,
we
have
the
unique
position
where
we
bargain
with
someone
that
has
no
money
of
their
own.
We
are
not
able
to
bargain
with
our
funding
source,
so
we
must
rely
on
you
to
bargain
to
fight
on
our
behalf
to
get
funding
from
those
that
control
the
purse
spring
strings.
AB
AB
Yes,
we
get
the
majority
chunk
of
the
county
budget,
but
you're
also
talking
about
more
than
six
thousand
employees
that
are
responsible
for
educating
more
than
eighty
thousand
county
students
and
future
residents.
Dr
alato,
you
have
said
that
our
people
are
the
champions
for
the
children
with
whom
they
interact
every
day.
In
turn,
we
must
continue
to
champion
their
cause.
We
owe
that
to
them.
We
owe
that
to
them,
because
every
day
they
are
preparing
children
not
just
for
success
in
academics,
but
for
success
in
life.
AB
It's
time
for
you
to
help
us
fight
for
restoration
of
lost
steps.
We
need
you
to
ask
the
county
to
not
only
find
our
step
increase,
but
at
a
bare
minimum
to
also
find
another
mid-year
step
toward
restoring
those
steps
lost.
This
isn't
only
our
present.
This
is
also
our
future.
It
affects
our
pensions,
we're
asking
you
to
fight
with
us
and
for
us
again
and
include
not
only
a
step
in
your
fiscal
year,
18
budget,
but
also
another
step
mid-year.
Z
Good
evening
dr
arlatto,
president
corbilike
and
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
lisa
rodvian
and
I'm
a
middle
school
teacher
of
music
at
anne
arundel.
Excuse
me
at
arundel
middle
school.
Since
I
have
testified
here
on
many
occasions,
I
decided
to
let
my
testimony
tonight
be
a
voice
for
many
other
aacps
teachers
that
could
not
be
here
tonight.
I
started
a
facebook
thread
that
was
spread
to
teachers
around
the
county
and
asked
them
to
tell
me
what
they
would
like
the
board
to
know.
Z
These
comments
can
be
summarized
as
teachers
as
one
teachers
are
crossed
crushed
by
their
workload
and
demoralized
by
the
lost
step.
Increases
here
is
a
small
sampling
of
the
responses
I
received
from
miss
k
to
be
on
the
step.
I
should
be
I'm
on
step
six.
I
should
be
on
12

not
have
to
live

from
miss

I
second,
this
my
husband
and
I
are
both
teachers
and
have
lost
out
on
so
much
money
because
of
the
pay
freezes
from
a
different,
miss
k.
Z
Miss
g
not
trying
to
implement
so
many
strategies
that
are
the
new
thing
and
taking
time
to
focus
on
learning
something
fully
miss
h,
I'm
on
step
six
I
should
be
on
13.,
I'm
now
required
as
a
full
full
release
dc
to
conduct
formal
observations
which
count
towards
teacher
ratings.
In
addition
to
reviewing
slos
also
for
teacher
ratings,
but
I'm
not
even
being
paid
an
appropriate
teacher
salary.
Z
Miss
g
workload
is
unmanageable.
Grading
discipline
planning
slos
two
pay
is
not
competitive.
If
other
counties
can
find
the
money,
then
aa
needs
to
as
well
we're
the
most
underpaid
civil
servants
in
the
state
police
included.
Number
three
student
discipline:
we
need
stricter
enforcement.
Repeat
offenders
affect
the
learning
environment,
number
five
non-teaching
positions.
We
need
to
bring
people
back
into
the
classrooms.
Z
Ms
r,
I'm
tired
of
being
cursed
at
and
called
derogatory
names
such
as,
but
not
limited
to
fu
uffing
b
on
almost
a
daily
basis,
three
times
a
week
minimum
what
other
profession
aside
from
police
deals
with
this
and
then
on
top.
We
don't
get
raises
or
we
have
to
beg
but
deal
with
all
of
this
sometimes
days.
I
feel
like
a
warrior
getting
through
battle.
Z
Z
I
want
respect
as
well
I'm
tired
of
not
having
any
autonomy.
We
don't
have
a
choice
with
our
slos
anymore.
I'm
planning
15,
guided
reading
lessons,
in
addition
to
all
of
the
daily
instruction,
as
well
as
differentiating
everything
with
very
little
planning
time.
Miss
k
I
just
moved
back
in
with
my
mother
at
age,
46.
Z
miss
r
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
live
in
the
county
with
a
family
on
two
teachers,
salary,
ms
q.
I
want
to
be
valued
for
my
loyalty
to
the
children
of
aacps
not
be
paid
less
than
new
hires.
With
the
same
experience,
this
one
had
30
likes,
miss
o.
I
want
to
be
trusted
to
teach
my
students
using
my
29
years
of
knowledge
and
experience.
Not
all
of
my
students
need
to
take
hundreds
of
tests
every
year.
Z
I
will
leave
you
that
was
only
a
sampling
of
the
comments
that
I
received.
I
actually
received
about
10
pages
of
responses
to
my
question
and
I
will
leave
a
copy
for
you
and
I
hope
that
you
look
at
every
single
word
of
it,
because
the
teachers
in
this
county
are
begging
for
help,
we're
begging
for
some
relief,
we're
crushing
underneath
the
weight
of
our
workload
and
we're
demoralized
by
the
state
of
our
pay.
Thank
you.
AC
Hello,
my
name
is
lisa
plein,
I'm
with
annapolis
high
school,
I'm
a
parent.
This
is
my
actually
last
year
in
the
anne
arundel
county
school
system,
I've
been
actively
involved
in
the
ptas
at
annapolis,
high
school
and
bates
middle
school.
I'm
here
to
support
the
teacher
pay
issue
and
the
disadvantage
the
challenge
school
stipend
issues.
There
was
some
sense
that
we
won
last
year.
The
sense
only
that
we
won
by
not
losing
was
very
frustrating,
I
think
to
many
of
us
involved.
AC
I
certainly
want
to
support
everything
the
teachers
have
said
here
tonight,
as
well
as
ms
fiedler
from
profits.
I
will
add
that,
just
that
again,
it
is
still
a
problem.
We
are
losing
anne
arundel
county
teachers
to
our
counterparts.
Annapolis
high
school
alone
lost
30
teachers
last
year
to
higher
paying
jobs.
None
of
them
were
lateral.
AC
AC
The
irony
is
that
these
teachers
were
in
that
prime
of
their
career.
These
were
the
great
teachers
that
were
responsible
for
tremendous
gains
that
I'm
sure
you
all
have
seen.
The
results
of
increase
in
graduation
rates,
increase
in
the
kids,
taking
ap
tests
and
increase
in
the
scores
those
kids
are
getting
increase
in
the
sat
scores.
An
increase
in
the
number
of
children
who
are
taking
those
sct
scores
the
irony
that
that
the
architects
of
that
success
have
now
left
because
they
can
get
ten
to
twelve
thousand
dollars.
AC
AC
AD
AD
I
sat
here
early
listening
to
all
the
wonderful
things
that
are
going
on
our
county,
and
it
makes
me
proud
like
to
shout
out
to
my
school.
We
also
did
an
amazing
veterans
program
and
a
community
stem
like
night
last
night.
I
also
went
to
the
she
I'm
a
shadyside
resident.
I
went
to
the
shady
side
community
outreach.
AD
It
was
just
wonderful,
it's
just
wonderful
to
live
and
work
in
this
community
with
that
being
said,
I
stand
here
before
you
this
evening
to
work
with
ask
you
to
work
with
us
once
again
this
year
to
ensure
that
our
we
are
retaining
our
amazing
teachers
by
staying
competitive
with
our
surrounding
counties.
We
are
still
so
far
behind
counties
that
teachers
are
leaving
us
for
as
just
an
additional
10
to
20
minute
drive
away.
AD
I
work.
Excuse
me.
I
work
every
day
with
some
of
the
most
amazing
teachers.
I've
ever
seen,
who
tirelessly
raise
themselves
up
every
day
to
make
sure
our
students
are
receiving
the
best
education
education
possible.
Many
of
these
teachers
are
way
behind
on
the
step
scale.
My
best
friend
and
colleague,
who
has
national
board
certification
and
a
master's
plus
60
credits,
could
be
eight
steps
ahead
of
where
she
is
now
and
making
twelve
thousand
two
hundred
and
ten
dollars
more
for
the
short
drive
to
howard
county.
AD
She
could
not
be
here
tonight
because
her
husband
must
work
nights,
that
he
can
stay
home
with
their
children
during
the
day
because
they
cannot
afford
child
care.
It
is
these
stories
that
are
all
too
common
in
our
county
and
forcing
teachers
out
in
droves
to
find
employment
elsewhere.
AD
AE
The
answer
will
undoubtedly
have
a
budget
implication
and
you
have
to
submit
your
budget
in
february.
I
ask
you
to
instruct
dr
arlatta
to
use
the
routing
software
to
develop
bell
schedules
for
the
2018
school
year
by
defining
parameters
such
as
no
pickup
before
730
and
no
drop
off
after
4
30
for
regular
routes.
AE
While
dr
arlotto
says
that
the
software
was
not
purchased
for
that
purpose,
it
certainly
can
be
used
for
that
purpose.
I
also
ask
you
to
include
funding
in
the
upcoming
budget
to
ensure
safe
and
healthy
hours
for
all
aacps
students
from
kindergarten
through
high
school.
Every
child,
regardless
of
their
age
or
size,
should
be
able
to
travel
to
and
from
school
safely
when
they
can
both
see
and
be
seen
and
attend
school
during
the
hours
they
are
biologically
best
prepared
to
learn.
AE
The
second
issue
I
want
to
discuss
is
your
fy
16
audited
financial
statements,
which
were
recently
released.
I
was
disappointed
to
read
that
aacps
had
to
restate
its
health
insurance
fund
balance.
Again,
the
fy
14
audit
disclosed
that
fy
13's
expenses
were
overstated
by
4.8
million.
The
fy
15
audit
disclosed
that
fy
14's
expenses
were
overstated
by
3.8
million,
and
the
fy
16
audit
disclosed
that
the
fy
15
health
insurance
expenses
were
overstated
by
1.6
million.
AE
How
can
you
or
we,
the
public,
rely
on
the
health
insurance
fund
projections
put
forth
by
the
aacps
administration,
when
your
auditors
have
advised
you
for
two
years
in
a
row
that
your
internal
controls
are
not
sufficient
to
prevent
or
detect
a
material
misstatement
in
the
health
insurance
fund?
Did
your
expenses
really
increase
nine
percent
last
year,
when
the
national
trend
was
only
six
and
a
half
percent,
or
will
we
see
another
restatement
in
the
fy
17
audited
financial
statements?
AE
If
the
aacps
administration
projections
are
accurate,
the
2
million
dr
arlato
has
assigned
for
transfer
to
the
health
insurance
fund
is
not
going
to
prevent
the
fund
from
operating
at
a
deficit
in
a
matter
of
months,
and
that
leads
me
to
my
concluding
question,
given
that
it
takes
a
couple
of
months
to
get
an
additional
appropriation
approved
by
the
county.
If
you
believe
the
administration's
projections
are
accurate
and
the
health
insurance
fund
will
be
in
a
deficit
in
a
matter
of
months,
why
haven't
you
already
asked
the
county
for
additional
funding?
Thank
you.
AF
AF
I
appreciate
that
last
year
several
members
of
the
board
expressed
frustration
when
the
county
executive's
projected
budget
did
not
include
capital
funding
for
old
middle
schools
or
several
other
schools.
Our
group
intends
to
follow
the
budget
throughout
the
process
and
will
continue
to
speak
out
at
the
county
executive's
budget
hearings
and
at
county
council
meetings.
We
do
recognize
that
the
board
is
following
the
mgt
study
priority
list
and
we
acknowledge
that
the
capital
funding
is
included
in
the
board's
projected
six-year
plan.
AF
However,
the
board's
projected
budget
for
fiscal
year
18
last
year
included
feasibility
and
design
funding
for
quarterfield
and
rippling
woods
elementary
schools,
as
well
as
the
new
old
mill
west
high
school.
Now
that
we're
discussing
the
fiscal
year
18
budget,
that
funding
and
the
funding
that
would
follow
behind
it.
For
those
schools
and
the
other
schools
in
the
complex
is
pushed
off
another
year
and
does
not
begin
until
fiscal
year
19..
AF
We
have
been
told
that
the
year
delay
in
the
start
of
funding
is
directly
related
to
the
fact
that
the
county
did
not
fully
fund
the
board's
fiscal
17
request.
However,
last
year
the
board's
total
predicted
or
projected
request
for
for
fiscal
year
18
was
over
271
million
this
year.
The
total
request
for
the
current
fiscal
year
18
budget
has
been
lowered
to
234
million.
That
means
the
current
budget
is
more
than
36
million
below
what
you
expected
to
ask
for
when
the
budget
was
completed
last
year.
AF
If
the
funding
for
the
old
middle
complex
schools
is
pushed
back
up
to
begin
as
originally
planned
in
fiscal
year
18,
it
would
add
approximately
14
million
to
the
current
fiscal
year.
18
request
the
new
total
budget
for
fiscal
year
18
would
still
be
more
than
222
million
below
what
was
projected
to
be
the
total
request.
Last
year,
old
middle
schools
have
been
funding,
had
had
funding,
promised
and
then
delayed
in
previous
years
due
to
the
recession
and
other
factors.
We've
waited
for
many
years
and
we
have
our
place
in
line.
AF
According
to
the
2015
mgt
study,
priority
list
we're
now
asking
to
be
pushed
ahead
of
other
schools
above
us
on
the
mgt
priority
list.
We
just
want
to
see
our
design
funding
begin
in
year,
18
instead
of
19,
and
see
the
corresponding
funding
in
the
projected
six-year
plan
to
shift
up
accordingly,
we
know
it's
a
large
long
com,
complex
project,
to
complete
from
start
to
finish.
That's
why
every
year
counts
as
far
as
kicking
off
the
design
and
construction
phases.
AF
Last
year,
the
county
included
funding
in
their
fiscal
year
17
budget
for
land
acquisition
for
this
project.
In
september
of
this
year,
a
detailed
master
plan
document
was
issued
with
four
options
for
the
old
mill
complex
schools.
Why
the
delay
in
voting
on
those
four
master
plan
options
until
next
fall?
Why
the
push
till
fiscal
year
19
for
design
funding
to
begin?
Thank
you.
AH
I
have
some
a
handout
for
all
of
you
with
some
graphics
that
would
help
to
understand
the
presentation
good
evening,
president
corblak,
dr
alato
and
board
members.
AH
My
name
is
holly
clyderlein
and
I
am
the
school
counselor
at
oak
hill
elementary
and
several
park,
I'm
a
national
board
certified
teacher,
renewed
and
a
point
of
contact
for
the
counselors
association
of
anne
arundel
county
tonight.
I'm
advocating
for
lower
counselor
to
student
ratios
at
the
elementary
level
and
will
use
my
school
as
an
illustration.
AH
The
first
graph
that
you'll
be
able
to
see
shows
oak
hills.
Enrollment
growth
oak
hill
now
has
close
to
700
students.
There
are
two
different
colored
lines
on
the
graph.
The
county
counts,
pre-k
students
who
attend
for
half
a
day
as
half
a
child,
so
there's
a
difference
between
total
enrollment
and
full-time
equivalent.
AH
AH
The
second
graph
shows
oak
hill's
rate
of
major
referrals
since
2009
the
first
year
we
implemented
pbis
we're
seeing
a
similar
upward
trend
in
major
referrals
that
we
see
across
the
county.
I
suspect
much
of
that
spike
has
to
do
with
rapid
enrollment
increases
and
ballooning.
Student-To-Teacher
ratios
2009
was
a
seminal
year.
AH
There's
been
much
testimony
about
the
salary
freezes,
but
teachers
were
squeezed
in
another
way.
The
county
abandoned
their
recommended
student-to-teacher
ratios
in
the
youngest
grades
and
adopted
the
state
recommendation,
which
was
higher.
Those
ratios
have
never
gone
back
and
students
are
paying
the
price
if
you're
wondering
what
kind
of
serious
issues
elementary
counselors
need
to
address.
Look
at
the
next
graphic
439
reports
of
suicidal
threats
or
gestures
and
114
reports
of
self-injurious
behaviors
were
recorded
at
the
elementary
level
in
1516..
AH
Some
might
point
out
that
this
indicates
a
smaller
rate
of
reporting
compared
to
other
levels.
I'll
remind
you,
though,
that
each
elementary
school
has
one
counselor.
I
work
with
students
in
pre-k
and
eci
through
fifth
grade,
so
I
am
involved
with
every
expression
of
suicidal
ideation
or
self-injurious.
Behavior
oak
hill
is
not
an
anomaly.
AH
How
many
counselors
to
brought
does
ronnick
have
that's
right,
one
if
you're
serious
about
closing
the
achievement
gap,
improving
parent
involvement,
increasing
attendance
rates,
teaching
social
emotional
skills
addressing
serious
behavior
that
increase
non-public
placement
of
early
childhood
students
by
300
percent,
then
hire
additional
elementary
school
counselors
go
back
to
adopting
the
smaller
class
sizes
of
2009,
free
spending
on
any
expansion
of
magnet
programs
and
look
into
expanding
alternative
county
programs
to
reduce
non-public
placements.
Thank
you.

Good
evening
for
the
record,
I
am
jessica
cutches
representing
the
legislative
and
policy
office,
and
I'm
excited
to
speak
to
you
tonight
about
the
latin
honors
recognition,
also
known
as
the
laude
honors
recognition.
This
will
be
a
new
recognition
for
anne
arundel
county
public
school
graduates
that
will
honor
their
academic
achievement
and
success
on
the
panel
with
me
tonight
is
dr

deputy
superintendent
of

initiatives.
AJ

We
are
here
to
talk
to
you
about
the
edition
of
the
latin
honors
recognition
and
in
the
spring
we
will
be
back
to
discuss
one
more
provision
of
the
grading
policy
throughout
this
comprehensive
grading
policy
update,
we
met
with
and
vetted
each
grading
policy
revision
with
many
stakeholders,
including
the
cac
crasc
tac
principles,
piac
county
council
of
ptas
superintendent's,
teen
advisory,
superintendent's
teacher
advisory
and
other
staff
groups
and
interested

interested
parties.
The
feedback
we
received
from
these
groups
informed
and
helped
shape
the
different
revisions
we
have
brought
to
you
regarding
the
grading
policy.
AJ

AK

AK
AL
AL
AL
Land
honors
are
more
fundamentally
equitable
when
academic
recognition
is
based
on
student-to-student
comparisons,
rather
than
the
same
consistent
standards.
One
student's
success
is
another
student's
failure
and
when
success
and
failure
are
defined
by
fractionally
small
differences
in
gpa,
the
fundamental
fairness
of
the
system
is
called
into
question.
AL
If
the
latin
honor
system
had
been
in
effect
for
the
graduating
class
of
2016,
the
students
would
have
been.
The
students
that
would
have
been
honored
would
have
included
students
in
all
racial
and
ethnic
backgrounds,
students
receiving
ell
services,
free
and
reduced
meal
services
and
special
education
services.
AL
AI
AJ
high
school
students
will
experience
a
gradual
phase
out
of
the
valedictorian
salutatorian
honor,
with
the
class
of
2019
experiencing
the
latin
honors
recognition
without
the
valedictorian
and
salutatorian
honor.
I
will
now
turn
it
over
to
miss
alyssa
whitaker,
a
senior
at
glen
burnie
high
school,
who
will
share
her
student
perspective
on
this
matter.
AM
So
just
a
side
note,
I
am
speaking
on
behalf
of
myself,
not
krask
and
kind
of
just
piggybacking
off
of
what
everyone
else
is
saying
tonight.
It's
all
about
equality
and
equity.
Personally
I
went
to
an
nyp
ib
middle
school
old
mill
and
I
came
into
high
school
with
four
high
school
credits.
I
have
counterparts
who
didn't
necessarily
receive
that
opportunity,
so
they
didn't
come
into
high
school
with
those
credits.
AM
So
statistically
it
would
be
very
hard
for
them
to
achieve
valedictorian
status
over
me
who
had
who,
like
I
have
an
upper
hand
above
them,
and
I
think
that
it
also
ensures
healthy
competition
among
students.
One
student
doesn't
have
to
take
another
one
down
to
make
sure
that
they're
going
to
be
on
top
because
they
can
all
be
on
top
together.
AM
I
think
at
graduation
you
might
look
on
stage
and
you'll
see
the
valedictorian
talking
or
the
salutatorian
talking
and
you'll
say
I
was
in
the
same
calculus
class
as
that
person,
but
yet
at
graduation
they
look
more
important
than
me,
they're
being
recognized,
you
know,
so
I
do
think
that
it
also
does
something
to
your
mental
health
and,
along
with
students
who
they
curve
and
schedule
their
their
essentially
their
classes
and
their
lives
around
being
valedictorian,
and
I
know
I
was
that
kid
coming
to
freshman
year
I
had
to
be
valedictorian.
AM
I
had
to
get
straight
a's
I
had
to
be
at
the
top
of
my
class
and
at
some
point
in
time
I
had
a
realization
and
epiphany
that
that
is
not
what
really
matters.
What
matters
is
making
the
softball
team.
What
matters
is
being
second
chancellors.
Those
are
the
things
that
matter
and
I
think,
by
switching
to
this
program,
kids
can
really
follow
their
passions.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
so
competitive
and
so
serious
all
the
time.
AN
So,
let's
end
with
this
image,
what
do
we
not
see?
We
didn't
see
only
two
kids
at
the
top
of
the
mountain.
We
don't
see
kids
competing
against
each
other.
All
said
what
we
do
see
is
many
kids
on
the
top
on
their
journey
to
the
top
of
the
mountain
competing,
not
against
each
other,
but
against
the
different
standards
at
each
level
of
the
latin
honors
system.
AN
C
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Thank
you
all
for
this
presentation.
Miss
whitaker,
thank
you
for
for
being
here
and
joining
in
on
this
as
well.
Just
a
a
couple
of
questions
that
I'll
ask
relative
to
to
other
school
systems
and
and
the
adoption
that
may
be
occurring
elsewhere.
AK
AK
AK
Major
school
systems,
the
most
recent
one,
I
think
that
that's
been
in
the
news-
is
wake
county
in
north
carolina,
the
largest
school
system
in
north
carolina
public
school
system,
and
they
adopted
it
in
june.
C
And
you
mentioned,
or
made
reference
to
a
higher
education
community.
C
Could
you
give
us
a
sense
of
what
their
feedback
as
as
the
school
system
in
north
carolina
and
then
certainly
where,
where
it's
occurred
elsewhere,
has
the
reception
among
the
higher
education
community
been
been
fairly
positive.
AK
So
what
the
higher
education
community
told
to
us-
and
a
few
of
us
on
this
committee-
have
spoken
to
admissions,
counselors
and
other
folks
in
higher
ed,
both
in
maryland
and
at
the
at
the
most
some
of
the
most
prestigious
schools
in
the
nation
and
what
they've
told
us
with
respect
to
looking
for
students
and
what
we
see
we
see
it
actually
represented
in
the
applications
for
new
freshmen
now
over
the
last
few
years,
they're
looking
for
a
well-rounded
student
who
is
excelling
in
what
they
choose
to
do
in
the
classroom.
This
isn't.
AK
This
is
not
a
trophy
for
every
student.
This
is
really
the
latin
honor
system
is
saying
what
you
choose
to
do
do
well
in
that.
In
other
words,
that's
our
jobs
right.
But
what
they're
saying
is
we
want
that
student
who
has
explored
and
who
has
some
passions
and
interests
that
they've
been
experiencing
for
a
few
years
and
where
they
can
really
say
I'm
going
into
college,
and
I
might
not
know
what
I
want
to
be
four
years
from
now.
But
I
know
what
I
like.
AK
I've
had
some
chance
to
explore
what
I
what
I
like,
what
I
don't
like.
Maybe
I
played
in
the
band
the
cello
or
I
took
art
classes,
and
I
can
be
value
added
to
that
university
community.
I
can
talk
about
what
I
want
from
you
as
an
institution
of
higher
ed,
and
I
can
talk
about
what
I'll
bring
to
the
institution
of
higher
ed.
Because
of
what
I
know
about
myself
and
my
passions,
desires
and
expertise.
C
And
just
a
final
question
then,
to
to
drill
back
to
to
maryland-
maybe
a
curveball
a
bit
here,
but
if,
if
we're
the
pioneer
in
this
area
compared
to
our
our
counterparts,
do
you
know
if
any
of
our
other
counterparts
are
exploring
this
within
maryland?.
AK
Right
so
we
have
various
systems,
we've
spoken
with
a
few
folks
in
howard
county
and
they
they're
talking
about
it.
I
won't
I
do
not
know.
I
cannot
say
how
seriously
but
they're
talking
about
it.
We
also
want
to
bring
to
your
attention
that,
although
montgomery
county
has
not
gone
to
the
latin
honors,
they
have,
and
jason
can
speak
a
little
more
in
greater
depth
than
I
on
this,
but
they
have
done
away
with
the
ranking.
AO
So,
for
quite
a
few
years
now
in
montgomery
county,
they
absolutely
do
not
rank
students
at
all,
even
upon
request.
So
there
is
no
class
ranking
system
in
montgomery
county
county
public
schools,
and
the
reports
back
from
them
indicate
that
it
is
working
just
fine
for
the
college,
admissions
process,
scholarships
etc.
AO
Those
students
are
able
to
showcase
themselves
through
applications,
essays
resumes
and
their
students
are
doing
quite
well,
but
there
are,
there
is
no
class
ranking
system
in
montgomery
county
public
schools,
either
on
a
transcript
or
behind
the
scenes.
Even
in
their
computer
system
yeah
there
is
not.
There
is
no
valedictorian
or
salutatorian
and,
as
a
result
of
no
class
rank.
O
AO
It's
a
great
question:
it
really
is
about
it's
a
really
great
idea,
and
we
really
want
to
do
it
sooner
than
then
later.
We
really
believe
that
it's
best
for
the
majority
of
our
students.
We
want
to
recognize
excellence
across
the
board,
regardless
of
what
program
of
study
you
choose
and
at
that
point
we
want
to
get
to
that
sooner
than
later.
AO
What
we
know
very
specifically,
is
that
the
students
who
are
in
the
competition
in
in
the
you
know
they've
set
that
as
as
their
goal
most
of
the
time
that
really
starts
in
junior
and
senior
year,
that's
when
most
of
our
ap
ib
courses
are
offered,
and
so
that's
when
you
have
the
opportunity
to
pursue
that
weighted
gpa.
AO
That
would
potentially
lead
you
to
be
in
that
top
one
percent
and
potentially
number
one
or
number
two
in
your
class
that
doesn't
typically
impact
freshmen
and
sophomores,
so
the
quicker
we
can
get
to
a
more
balanced
recognition
system
that
recognizes
all
of
our
students.
For
this
their
outstanding
achievement.
I
think
that's
better
for
the
system.
O
Thank
you,
okay
and
then
my
last
question
would
just
be.
Are
we
still
going
to
make
class
ranks
available
for
students
individually
if
they
still
want
to
see
that
since
it
won't
be
recognized
at
graduation
or
what's
going
to
happen
with
that.
AK
So
our
intent
is
that,
in
fact,
if
they
needed
those
class
ranks
for
a
service
academy,
application
for
scholarships
competitive
scholarships,
some
require
a
rank
or
it's
desirable
to
have
a
rank.
We
will
be
able
to
offer
that
rank
to
the
to
the
students
for
any
process
they're
going
through
at
the
time
of
college
application.
AK
W
Well,
miss
williams
stole
one
of
my
questions.
Another
question
that
I
have
is:
how
did
you
choose
the
grade?
Point
averages
for
each
of
the
levels
because
obviously
it's
different
than
college,
because
college
doesn't
have
weighted
grades.
AO
AO
We
initially
started
with
some
some
kind
of
give
me's.
If
you
will,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
recognized
approximately
20
percent
of
a
graduating
class.
We
didn't.
We
didn't
want
to
recognize
too
many,
but
we
didn't
want
to
recognize
too
few.
We
also
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
students
from
any
student
group
have
the
opportunity
to
earn
honors,
and
so
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
each
high
school
in
our
system
would
have
students
in
all
three
levels
of
the
laude
system,
and
so
we
we
kept
playing
with
it.
AO
We
played
with
4-4
we
played
with
4-3
and
we
looked
at
three
graduating
classes
as
a
representative
sample.
So
we
we
looked
at
all
of
these
graduates
from
class
of
2014
class
of
2015
and,
most
recently,
the
class
of
2016..
In
each
case,
the
numbers
that
you
saw
on
the
screen
tonight
were
very
representative.
Summa
laude
comes
out
around
the
top
five.
AO
Maybe
six
percent
of
the
class
magna
laude
comes
out
right
around
a
little
bit
more
than
that
six
to
maybe
seven
percent
of
the
class
in
laude,
very
similarly
about
six
or
seven
percent
of
the
class,
and
what
we
found
is
that
all
student
groups,
as
mr
alston
mentioned,
were
represented
in
that
most
of
those
students
all
had
a's
and
b's,
which
are
largely
attributed
to
outstanding
academic
achievement.
And
so
we
really
felt
comfortable
with
both
who
was
getting
the
recognition.
W
Okay,
my
I
also
wanted
to
comment
I
want
to.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
this,
because
I
I
mean,
I
don't
know
if
you
remember.
W
That
was
phenomenal
and
I
think
she
knew
everyone's
gpa
18
and
up
like
who
they
were
and
what
all
the
gpas
were,
and
I
thought
that
was
unhealthy.
It
seemed
wrong
to
know
all
of
that,
and
you
know
she's
telling
me
how
many
classes
everybody's
taking
and
what
they're
taking
and
why
they
can't
take
photography
and
that
worried
me.
W
When
maybe
you
just
want
to
learn
how
to
take
a
picture
because
really
you're
going
to
use
that
a
lot
more
in
your
life
than
some
of
those
ap
classes
which
you're
going
to
take
in
college
anyway?
I
isn't
it
it's
interesting.
You
said
the
school
system
in
north
carolina
that
did
this,
isn't
it
chapel
hill
that
has
now
said
that
it
doesn't
matter.
If
you
took
five
ap
classes
or
15
five
five
ap
classes
means
you're
an
ap
student
according
to
them.
When
you
apply
to
university
of
north
carolina,
chapel
hill.
AK
So
I
can't
specifically
speak
to
north
carolina,
but
I
can
say
across
the
nation:
the
institutions
of
higher
education
are
really
changing
that
expectation
of
what
it
means
to
be
an
excellent
student
and
they're
changing
it
with
the
idea
not
about
grades,
because
they
still
want
to
see
excellence.
But
they're
saying
you
know.
We
need
to
see
that
you
challenge
yourself
right,
but
we
don't
need
to
see
an
unhealthy
challenge.
W
W
S
I've
got
three
questions
which
I
hope
are
quick.
Why
are
the
criteria
for
summa
and
magna
weighted
and
the
criteria
for
laude
unweighted?
That's
the
first
question.
The
second
question
is:
have
any
of
the
jurisdictions
that
you
looked
at
outside
of
maryland,
adopted
these
latin
honors,
the
three
traditional
latin
honors
but
maintained
the
valedictorian
and
salutatorian
status,
and
then
three
did
you
all
consider
that
as
an
option.
AO
The
primary
purpose
to
the
laude
being
a
unweighted
gpa
is
we
have
some
when
we
did
all
of
these
kind
of
audits,
of
transcripts
from
the
class
of
2014,
15
and
16..
AO
What
we
discovered
very
quickly
is
we
have
some
truly
outstanding
students
in
this
district
that
are
in
very
specialized
programs
such
as
mentioned
earlier
tonight,
cat
north
and
cat
south
that
don't
have
the
opportunity,
because
of
those
programs
to
be
in
advanced
weighted
courses.
Sometimes
our
music
students
are
art
students,
a
lot
of
our
theater
art
students
who
truly
excel
in
the
classroom.
AO
In
these
really
awesome
programs,
don't
take
advanced
weighted
courses
and
their
transcripts
are
absolutely
phenomenal
and
we
wanted
a
recognition
system
and
are
proposing
a
recognition
system
in
anne
arundel
county
public
schools,
where
any
student
would
have
the
opportunity
to
meet
that
standard
and
get
recognition.
S
One
follow-up
is
that,
does
that?
Does
the
implication
of
that
mean
that
if
they're
not
taking
the
weighted
classes-
and
they
have
an
unweighted
gpa
of
4.1,
for
example,
they
might
not
qualify
for
magna?
Is
that
what
that
means?.
AO
AN
That
so
I'll
take.
Your
second
question:
did
your
six-year-old?
Your
two
two-year-old
are
going
to
love
the
answer.
So
one
of
the
cool
things
about
working
on
a
policy
like
this
is
we
get
to
vetted
through
a
lot
of
different
groups,
and
you
asked
about
why
not
maintain
both
and
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
voice
of
parents,
kids
and
then
our
high
school
principals,
who
are
really
close
to
this
issue,
and
what
we
heard
from
those
groups
was
the
assist.
AN
What
the
new
system
does
is
honor
and
recognize
more
kids
for
all
the
right
reasons,
and
if
you
leave
that
other
system
in
the
background,
then
you're
overshadowing
the
purpose
of
bringing
the
new
one
in,
and
I
have
to
go
back
to
this
wonderful
picture.
It's
that
you
have
three
different,
very
high
levels
in
the
honor
system,
a
3-4
unweighted
think
about
that.
A
3-4
unweighted
is
pretty
much
all
a's
and
b's,
then,
to
get
a
4-0
weighted.
AN
AN
So
to
have
that
be
the
new
goal
takes
away
everything
that
the
other
system
was
bringing
in
as
a
backdrop
and
a
distractor.
So
we
really
did.
We
said
we
do
have
to
honor
the
fact
that
some
of
those
kids,
the
juniors
and
seniors,
have
already
done
some
course
scheduling
and
had
that
in
their
mind.
But
if
we
can
now
counsel
our
younger
students
into
taking
these
healthier
options
and
have
in
honoring
them
to
when
they
get
to
graduation,
it
would
be
a
much
better
option
for
our
students.
S
AL
I
think
another
added
value
to
that
is
that
also
like
we
shared
it,
allows
the
students
to
participate
and
the
courses
that
are
their
passion
right.
So
it
shouldn't
be
that
you
have
to
choose
between
taking
that
orchestra
class.
AL
You
can
be
the
second
seat
cello,
because
you
aren't
going
to
get
a
weighted
gpa
for
that
right
so
by
offering
both
unweighted
and
the
weight
it
allows
for
that
aspect,
but
then
also
with
moving
to
that
system
that
allows
for
students
to
pursue
their
passion
to
pursue
their
love
and
be
that
well-rounded
student
that
we
all
want
all
of
our
children.
Today.
H
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
team.
This
has
been
a
conversation.
This
has
been
a
five-year
conversation
and
when
mr
dykstra
says
we
looked
at
transcripts,
there
were
there
were
many
many
hours
spent
in
conference
rooms,
putting
students
transcripts
and
scores
and
lots
of
different
options
on
the
table,
and
so
I
want
to
thank
this
team.
It's
been
a
long
conversation.
Thank
you
for
your
hard
work,
and
this
is
it's
really
exciting
for
our
students.
So
thank
you.
B
I
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
the
30-day
comment
period
is
next,
so
the
public,
especially
including
our
students,
whatever
they
want
to
share,
please
encourage
them
crass
to
to
get
online.
We
don't
always
get
a
lot
of
online
traffic
on
policies,
but
this
is
one
we
want
to
hear
from
the
students
and
and
parents
as
well
so
that'll
be
next.
B
AP
All
right,
dr
olado,
president
corbilike
in
the
board,
my
name
is
janet
norman,
I'm
an
annapolis
high
school
parent
currently
and
for
the
next
four
and
a
half
years,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
the
team
for
their
very
thorough
examination
of
this
issue.
I
agree,
I
think
it's
a.
I
think,
it's
a
great
improvement
to
have
kids
instead
of
trying
to
game
the
system
for
the
for
the
highest
scores
that
they
really
do
explore
what
what
could
be
future
careers
and
future
passions.
I
think
that's
wonderful.
AP
I
would
urge
you
to
think
about
different
ways.
Well,
first
of
all,
I'm
encouraged,
because
this
is
one
of
the
first
discussions
I
have
heard
at
the
many
board
of
ed
meetings.
I
have
gone
to
about
high
school
issues,
and
so
thank
you
for
paying
attention
to
high
school
issues,
because
I
think
they
often
get
lost
the
the
wellness
of
our
high
school
students.
AP
AP
Well,
there's
only
12
high
schools.
It
would
have
been
great
if
it
could
have
come
to
the
high
school
ptas,
because
I
attend
every
one
of
them
and
we
had
not
heard
anything
about
the
policy
revisions
nor
had
a
chance
to
provide
input
if
you
are
assuming
that
the
cac
is
a
functional
conduit
for
information
up
and
down
the
system.
AP
That
has
not
been
the
case
in
the
annapolis
cluster
for
the
past
three
years
or
so.
So,
if
you're
only
going
to
the
cac
and
expecting
that
they're
giving
you
input
from
parents,
that's
not
happening
so
we'd
love
it
for
you
to
come
to
our
ptas.
We
have
pta
facebook
pages,
we
could
disseminate
and
you
could
really
get
input
from
parents
if
you
reached
out
to
us
in
those
ways.
AP
So
I
I.
I
hope
that
this
is
a
good
policy,
but
if
you
have
other
policies
that
are
affecting
the
other
policy,
I
want
to
talk
about
was
the
standardization
of
of
redo
policies
and
things.
AP
Okay,
well,
she
talked
the
the
slideshow
talked
about
four
different
elements
in
their
redo,
so
I
just
want
to
bring
up
the
fact
that
in
in
that
they
were
examining
that
eight,
eight
or
nine
of
the
other
high
schools
have
opportunities
to
redo
work
and
have
club
meetings
and
things
during
the
school.
AP
The
school
day.
Annapolis
high
does
not
have
that.
Our
students
do
not
have
transportation
home
after
the
end
of
the
school
day
if
they,
if
they
miss
the
school
bus,
they're,
not
able
to
stay
after
as
easily
as
the
other,
suburban
schools
that
have
this
all
all
these
meeting
times
and
redo
times
during
their
school
day.
AP
So
I'd
like
you
to
address
the
inequities
there
provide
any
additional
supports
that
annapolis
high
needs
to
be
able
to
have
those
meetings
during
the
day,
so
our
students
can
achieve
at
as
high
a
level
as
the
other
students
that
have
nest
hour
to
redo
work
and
and
have
the
benefits
that
that
we,
our
students,
are
not
able
to
because
the
consequences
of
of
non-success
in
our
in
our
cluster
are
are
very
frightening,
what's
happening
with
a
lot
of
our
students.

F

Brock
bridge
has
more
students
than
shady's
side,
but
shadyside's
getting
addition
and
brockbridge
is
not.
Why
is
that?
What
was
the
decision
behind
that.
AQ
Larry
albert
supervisor,
of
planning,
design
and
construction,
the
difference
is
because
of
the
way
the
schools
are
utilized.
AQ
Shadyside
is
actually
has
a
lower
src
state-rated
capacity,
so
it
actually
needs
more
room
and
that's
why
we
did
the
classrooms
that
edition
we'll
re-analyze
brock
bridge,
though,
because
with
monarch
moving
out,
we
weren't
sure
exactly
where
all
that
was
going
to
fall.
So
we
wanted
monarch
to
work
for
a
couple
years
before
we
made
a
final
decision
on
whether
brock
bridge
really
needed
an
addition
or
not.
F
F
Oh
wait:
I
do
have
another
one,
I'm
sorry
so,
looking
at
sally
elementary,
it
says
that
currently
it
has
780
kids
at
sally
and
even
with
the
addition,
their
capacity
is
still
going
to
be.
Under
that
that's
crazy.
I
mean
I'm
not
criticizing
y'all,
I'm
just
like,
what's
going
on
over
near
sally
elementary,
that
it's
just
bursting
out
of
the
seams,
the.
AQ
Area
between
sally
and
marley
is
where
tanyard
springs.
There's
a
large
group
of
developments
going
on
that
are
all
coming
online
rapidly
and
there's
some
new
areas
that
are
still
expanding
they're,
just
starting
hogan
developments,
just
starting
some
developments
out
there.
Currently,
so
it's
growing
faster
than
we
can
build.
F
AQ
E
I
I
asked,
along
with
mrs
sasso,
that
we
put
this
on
the
agenda.
I
have
been
studying
as
we
all
have,
and
I
understand
I
listened
to
alder
and
miss
van
nuysen,
but
I'm
looking
carefully
and
I
and
I
know,
there's
765
open
elementary
seats
on
the
annapolis
peninsula.
E
E
I
guess
dr
alato
I'd
like
to
ask
you:
what
are
the
proposed
changes
in
the
annapolis
feeder
system
over
the
next
two
years?
That
would
impact
school
capacity.
I
I
I'm
looking
at
this.
I
don't
want
to
redistrict
and
then
turn
around
two
years
from
now
and
redistrict
again,
I
just
don't
see
it,
it's
not.
E
H
You're
absolutely
right,
miss
daly.
There
are
a
number
of
things
that
have
recently
occurred
and
will
occur
soon.
We
hope
and
then
into
the
future.
So
let
me
just
remind
you
of
some
of
those
right
now,
as
you
know,
we're
working
with
the
children's
guild
and
monarch
and
that's
something
this
board
has
been
involved
in
for
several
years
now.
We
are
hoping
that
that
comes
online,
but
we
don't
know
yet.
H
We
don't
yet
have
a
final
resolution
to
some
of
the
issues
with
the
developer
and
so
we're
hoping
that
that
will
come
online
when
that
does
when
that
does
come
online,
hopefully,
for
this
upcoming
school
year,
then
that
will
draw
students.
What
that
does
right
now
is
that
leaves
a
question
mark
of
course
right
how
many
students
from
which
schools
we
don't
know?
H
How
many
will
choose
that
charter
school,
and
it's
only
for
the
annapolis
cluster,
so
that
that
leaves
us
a
question
mark
as
you're
well
aware,
as
you
know,
we've
recently
revitalized
west
annapolis
and
we've
increased
seats
and
at
west
annapolis
we
have
with
now
opening
it
that
enrollment
is
still
in
flux
right.
We
always
have
the
new
school
effect
that
you're
very
well
aware
of
even
at
davidsonville,
when
you
reopen
davidsonville
that
new
school
effects,
we
still
have
some
families
coming
into
west
annapolis.
H
Again,
a
question
mark
for
us
rolling
knolls
is
another:
we've
just
completed
rolling
knolls
added
seats
to
that
it
is
currently
under
enrolled,
as
is
west
annapolis,
and
that,
but
those
numbers
are
growing,
we're
not
really
sure
again.
That
leaves
us
a
question
marked
for
consideration.
H
How
many
will
will
be
returning
and
coming
back
into
the
rolling
knolls
community?
As
you
know,
we
revitalized
mills
parole
in
2015
and
those
numbers
we've
now
got
a
good
year
under
our
belt.
Those
numbers
we're
still
just
a
few
seats
under
capacity
about
30
or
so
seats
under
capacity,
but
that
has
now
begun
to
settle
so
with
that
given
year.
That
helps
us
sort
of
better
understand
where
we
are
with
mills
parole.
H
As
you
know,
we've
completed
a
six
classroom
edition
this
past
summer,
georgetown
east
and
a
four
classroom
addition
at
eastport,
so
that
has
increased
seats
and
we'll
continue
to
watch
those
enrollments
to
see
how
they
settle
out
and,
as
you
know,
we're
working
to
accelerate
the
tyler
heights,
building
right,
we're
slated
for
19
and
we're
hoping
that,
with
this
year's
budget,
that
this
board
has
already
approved
the
capital
budget,
moving
forward
that
we'll
be
able
to
accelerate
and
get
tyler
into
the
fy
18
budget
as
we
move
forward.
H
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
and
then
sort
of
further
down
the
line.
As
you
know,
part
of
the
mgt
study
will
be
hillsmere.
Those
are
all
things
that
leave
us
a
question
mark
about
exactly
where
enrollments
will
be
so
your
concern
is
is,
is,
is
valid
in
terms
of
redistricting
now
and
then
into
the
future,
but
we
do
have
concerns
now.
As
you
heard,
ms
finlayson
talk
about
it's
something
that
we
as
a
board.
You
know
that
we've
talked
about
and
staff.
E
I
I
see
that,
but
I
I
guess
my
concern
is
and
the
reason
I
raised
this
as
a
discussion
about
among
board
members.
I
know
we
voted
and
to
redistrict
or
to
review
or
look
into
redistricting,
but
my
concern
is
for
families
you
redistrict
now
and
two
years
down
the
way
you
could
be
redistricting
again,
and
I
don't
like
to
see
that
I
don't
like
to
see
communities
redistricted
that
close
together.
So
that's
a
concern
I
have.
E
I
look
and-
and
I
see
the
overcrowding
that
mrs
finlayson
spoke
about
is
really
tyler
heights.
I
mean
there's
not
another
school,
that
is
terribly
overcrowded.
E
Hillsberry's
only
19
students
over
and
we
have
edgewater
edgewater
is
133
over,
but
we're
we're
going
to
build
a
new
edge.
I
mean
you
know,
edgewater
is
going
to
be
renovated
and
we
we
just
keep,
and
I
look
at
even
at
the
high
schools.
E
Annapolis
high
school
is
under
capacity
we're
going
to
lose.
It's
not
even
listed
we're
going
to
lose
about
800
students
when
the
new
crofton
high
school
gets
open
from
south
river.
I
just
I
just
think
we
ought
to
look
very
carefully
at.
I
think
we
all
look
very
carefully
at
what
we
have.
I
also
do
not
want
to
see
students
from
this
is
my
personal
opinion
from
tyler
heights
bust
all
the
way,
broken
up
and
bust
way
away
and
out
of
their
community
school.
E
So
I
I
think
all
of
these
things
need
to
be
carefully
considered
as
as
these
committees,
it's
a
long
way
down
the
road.
I
mean
they're,
going
to
be
committees
and
and
input,
and
I
understand
all
that,
but
I
I
just
think
that
we
ought
to
really
pay
very
close
attention
it
as
to
what
we
have
had
since
our
vote,
the
kinds
of
things
that
we've
had
happen
in
terms
of
of
building
plans
and,
like
you
said
we'll
know
about
monarch
soon
enough.
W
I
don't
actually
think
that
any
circumstances
have
changed
since
our
vote.
I
think
everything
is
still
the
same.
I
think
that
there
are
a
lot
of
unknowns,
but
I
think
they
were
unknown
when
we
made
our
vote
and
I
think
that's
why
it
goes
to
the
study.
It
goes
to
the
committees
and
then
they
come
back
with
what
they
think
is
a
good
recommendation
and
once
they
do
that,
then
we
decide
if
it
is
appropriate
to
move
forward
or
how
to
move
forward.
W
If
that's
the
thing,
so
I
mean
I
understand
what
you're
saying,
but
I
don't
think
circumstances
have
changed.
I
think
we're
in
exactly
the
same
position
with
the
same
unknowns,
which
is
why
we
recommended
delaying
the
redistricting
later
than
it
normally
happens.
We
said
we
didn't
want
to
follow
our
normal
calendar
because
we
wouldn't
have
enough
information
at
the
normal
time.
So
I
mean
I
I
understand
what
you're
saying
there
is.
W
H
If
I
could
jump
in
at
that
point,
because
I
you
make
several
really
good
points,
miss
burge.
But
let
me
add
to
that
that
we
are
under
obligation
by
the
state
to
look
at
redistricting
right.
So
when
we
ask
for
state
funds
to
build
schools
or
put
additions,
one
of
the
things
the
state
always
asks
us
and
they,
the
state,
has
all
the
numbers
that
you
have
that
the
committee
will
have
and
they
look
at
them
on
a
yearly
basis.
H
And
so,
when
we
go
up
each
year
in
front
of
the
iec
and
the
department
of
public
works
to
ask
for
money
to
support
our
construction
program.
Your
construction
program,
one
of
the
things
they'll
always
ask
and
look
for,
is-
has
that
jurisdiction
attempted
to
solve
their
overcrowding
issues
from
one
place
to
another,
from
from
full
seats
to
empty
seats
within
their
own
realm
right.
Have
they
been
able
to
take
care
of
their
own
house
before
they
allow
us
and
give
us
money
to
then
build
additions
and
to
build
schools?
H
G
For
all
of
the
redistricting
people
that
are
here,
edgewater
tyler
heights
annapolis,
just
like
dr
arlotto,
has
presented
and
theresa
you
know
the
board
is
not
stating
that
we
are
going
to
redistrict
you
once
again.
Like
dr
arlotto
said
it
is
our
responsibility
fiscally
and
basically,
as
a
policy
and
procedure
that
we
must
follow.
So
as
your
committees
meet
just
bring
back
to
us
what
you
would
like
to
have
in
your
community.
G
Basically,
if
you
know
sustainability
of
your
community
of
your
areas
of
your
schools,
basically
what
your
communities
really
feel
for
yourself
and
for
the
group-
and
I
know
that
edgewater
is
very
much.
You
know
we
do
not
want
it,
but
just
remember,
like
dr
arlotto
said
we
have
responsibilities
fiscally
and
basically
we
need
you
to
work
with
us.
So
give
us
back.
G
You
know
solid
information
which
you
have
because
we
have
it
here,
but
at
the
same
time
I
went
to
tyler's
school,
which
is
basically
all
latin
american
people,
most
of
it
like
80
percent,
and
one
of
the
things
was
so
that
you
can
see
the
different
ways
of
thinking.
You
know
we
were
looking
at
monarch
to
be
a
place
where
we
could
put
a
lot
of
these
overcrowding
and,
while
sitting
there
with
the
principal
and
the
parents
at
the
pta
meeting,
most
of
them
did
not
want
to
go
to
monarch.
G
So,
basically
we're
looking
at
to
the
fact
you
know
a
school
might
be
available,
but
it
might
not
be
the
solution,
and
it's
also
for
the
board
and
for
myself
to
work.
You
know,
monarch,
is
a
good
option.
Why
they
don't
want
it,
you
know
and
why
they
should
want
it.
So,
basically
just
work
with
us
so
that
we
know
what
you
want
and
don't
feel
that
we
are
your
enemies,
please.
You
know
we
really
are
trying
to
work
with
the
community
and
to
be
fiscally
responsible
for
the
monies
that
is
given
to
us.
S
I
just
have
a
quick,
factual
question
for
dr
alato
or
informational
question.
Could
you
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
what
you
mean
by
this?
The
state
requires
that
we
consider
redistricting
and
what
I
mean
by
that
is,
I
think,
we're
already
considering
redistricting
right.
That's
the
purpose
of
this
meeting,
but
are
our
determinations
as
to
whether
redistricting
is
appropriate.
Second
guessed
at
the
state
level,
whereas
they
actually
look
at
a
certain
school
and
say:
well,
you
all
decided
not
to
redistrict,
but
you
were
under
capacity
in
school
x
and
y
and
z.
H
So
I
think
I
think
the
short
answer
is
yes.
Alex
can
give
you,
as
mr
scheck
knows,
can
give
you
some
more
of
a
bird's-eye
view
as
he
works
with
iec
and
the
board
of
public
works
as
we
go
through
the
process
in
requesting
funds
for
construction.
AR
AR
AR
So
if
you
have
a
school
one
single
school,
that's
over
capacity,
but
the
two
schools
adjacent
to
it
have
seats
available.
You
can
relocate
balance
the
loads
amongst
those
three
buildings.
It
doesn't
require
any
capital
expenditures
you
can
reallocate
staffing,
etc
and
essentially
solve
that
problem
with
no
outlay
of
public
funding.
So
that
is
why,
as
dr
lotto
said,
that
is
the
first
direction
that
that
we
are
essentially
mandated
to
look
at.
AR
AR
In
that
scenario,
if
we
like
to
move
forward
in
that
vein,
that
delta
the
the
gap
that
the
state
now
has
essentially
derailed
their
contribution
towards
the
school,
if
we
yet
still
intend
to
build
a
school
of
600-
and
we
can
so
do
so-
but
the
local
unit
of
county
government
would
now
have
to
pick
up
that
entire
delta.
So
that's
essentially,
as
dr
lotto
said,
in
the
hierarchy,
the
first
rung
again,
because
it's
the
most
efficient
from
a
fiscal
perspective,
public
policy
perspective
is
to
redistrict.
AR
S
AR
So
the
the
state
will
be
in
a
the
state
will
be
in
a
position.
Their
calendar,
the
state's
calendar
and
county's
calendar
are
not
synchronized
the
state's
decision
on
what
they
will
do
with
edgewater
in
terms
of
their
participation
for
construction
funding,
etc.
They
will
be
in
a
position
to
make
that
decision
next
december.
AR
It's
my
understanding
that
the
board's
timeline
would
allow
the
redistricting
process
to
conclude
by
the
30th
of
april
2017,
which
is
the
the
last
possible
date
by
state
law
for
the
board
to
consider
such
action
should
it
be
implemented
by
august
of
17.
So
your
redistricting
calendar
would
be
ahead
of
the
state
making
that
determination
for
construction
funding
eligibility
next
december
17,
because
you
would
have
taken
your
vote
by
april
30th
no
later
than
april,
30th
of
17.
B
I
just
wan,
I
I
just
have
a
couple
of
well.
I
have
one
question
a
couple
points:
how
many
seats
will
monarch
annapolis
have
when
it
opens
or
when
it's
filled.
AR
So
the
this
the
contract,
essentially
contemplates
for
the
the
first
year,
has
a
base
number
of
530
students,
but
they
do
have
a
capacity.
They
have
the
ability
under
contract
to
accept
an
additional,
essentially
10
percent
over
that.
So
I
believe
the
first
year
they're
looking
at
a
target
of
around
580
first-year
enrollees,
and
then
they
will
continue
to
grow
a
grade
level
at
a
time
for
the
next
three
years,
ultimately
arriving
at
a
number
of
around
700
students.
B
B
AR
But
as
dr
lotto
indicated,
the
the
new,
the
newest
school
effect
is
is
real.
We
experience
that
each
and
every
time,
so
I
think,
even
with
that,
today's
number
of
of
765,
I
believe
you
you
reference
that
number.
We
expect
to
shrink
through
the
new
school
effect,
as
we
continue
to
accept
new
students
into
rolling
west
annapolis
and
and
mills
pearl
specifically,
and
then
tyler
will
likely
have
the
same
phenomenon
as
will
hill's
mirror
at
some
point
in
time.
But
yes,
on
paper,
you're,
absolutely
correct.
AR
B
We
also
have
292
empty
seats
at
georgetown
east.
You
were
talking
about
the
state
looking
at
adjacent
schools.
A
B
Georgetown
east
is
just
down
the
road
from
tyler,
so
we've
got
292
seats
open
right
now
at
georgetown
east,
but
we
have
147
kids
over
at
tyler.
So
do
you
think
that's
going
to
hurt
us
if
we
didn't
slide
some
tyler
students
out
of
tyler,
whether
they
went
to
georgetown,
east
or
somewhere
else,
it's
yet
to
be
determined,
but
tyler
also
is
up
for
revitalization.
AR
Yes
again,
the
state
looks
at
essentially
looks
at
the
school
in
question
and
then
it's
adjacent
schools,
which
are
essentially
those
schools
that
have
a
contiguous
boundary
and
so
with
respect
to
tyler.
The
most
logical
four
schools
that
are
considered
adjacent
again
would
be
germantown,
eastport,
hillsmeer
and
george
county.
So
they
would
look
at
those
five
in
totality
and
sort
of
net
the
available
seats
out
of
tyler
and
say
we
could
move.
Theoretically,
you
could
move
x
amount
to
eastport
y
amount.
The
george
hennes
z
amount
to
hillsmere.
AR
Therefore,
you
didn't
need
to
build
a
school
of
the
size
you
originally
contemplated.
You
could
build
a
school
of
200,
250
students,
smaller
at
a
much
lower
cost,
etc.
That's
that's
the
state's
construct.
That's
uniformly
applied
across
all
24
jurisdictions
in
the
state
of
maryland,
and
it
essentially
has
been
the
algorithm
that
they've
followed
largely
since
nineteen
seventy
one.
B
And
I
know
there
have
been
folks
that
present
that
to
us
as
a
negative,
that
we
shouldn't
redistrict,
because
then
you're
not
going
to
get
as
big
of
a
school
as
you
might
have
gotten.
If
we
left
things
alone,
but
as
a
board
of
education,
we
also
have
a
responsibility
to
our
taxpayers
and
if
we
have
765
empty
seats,
we
have
a
portion
of
an
elementary
school
being
unused,
particularly
at
georgetown
east.
B
F
At
the
sorry,
sorry
alex
one
more
very
best
case
scenario:
we
get
full
funding
when
would
a
new.
What,
when
could
we
look
at
a
new
tyler
heights
being
open.
AR
Well,
as
dr
lotto
indicated
earlier,
we're
trying
to
advocate
for
accelerating
the
construction
of
tyler
such
that
we
could
break
ground.
Probably
two
summers
from
now
and
the
school
will
take
two
years
from
there.
So
you're
talking
like
20
20,
20,
20,
21
documentary.
F
So
we're
looking
at
about
four
years,
so,
even
though,
perhaps
at
that
time
there
would
need
to
be
redistricting,
but
we're
still
looking
at
four
years,
a
possibility
that
the
students
at
tyler
are
150,
kids
over
capacity
or
whatever.
The
number
is.
But
I
I'm
in
agreement
with
my
other
colleagues
that
we
haven't
said
we're
going
to
redistrict
anything,
but
I
think,
based
on
the
numbers
and
our
task,
that
we
have
to
use
our
resources.
F
We
need
to
study
it
and
that's
why
we
have
the
the
committees
and
they
can
come
back
and
they
may
come
back
and
say,
and
the
recommendation
could
be
that
we
don't
do
anything.
But
I
think
we
do
have
an
obligation
that
we
need
to
at
least
look
at
it
and
look
at
the
scenarios
and
the
committees
will
consider
all
these
things
that
we've
brought
up
they'll.
F
B
And
I
think
we
have
the
support,
obviously,
of
our
city
council,
who
came
to
speak
the
annapolis
education
commission.
I
understand
voted
as
well
on
monday
night
to
support
redistricting
for
this
particular
school
year.
The
study
of
it-
and
I
know
that
county
executive
shu
also
implored
us
to
do
this
last
last
spring
last
school
year
when
he
was
speaking
about
the
tyler
heights
hillsmeer
schools
coming
online.
AS
I'm
going
to
jump
right
in
while
they're
walking
up.
If
that's
all
right,
it's
been
been
a
while.
So
thank
you
all
very
much.
Thank
you
to
the
board
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today
tonight
about
the
annapolis
peninsula
redistricting
and
the
decision
to
include
the
edgewater
elementary
school
and
my
name's
lane
dixon.
I
have
a
son
at
edgewater
elementary
and
a
daughter
who
will
be
there
in
in
the
next
two
years,
as
as
I
think
you
all
know
the
notification
we
received.
AS
AS
This
is
obviously
a
very
emotional
issue.
Redistricting
is,
I
think,
that's
been
alluded
to.
You
know
watching
my
son
come
home
after
his
first
day
of
kindergarten
beaming,
because
one
of
his
t-ball,
you
know
teammates
from
south
further
river
youth
athletics
was
in
his
class,
makes
it
emotional,
but
I
also
know
you
guys
have
a
tough
job
to
do
and
that
we
need
to
try
to
put
that
aside.
So
I'm
just
going
to
try
to
focus
on
a
couple
couple
of
the
the
you
know,
objective
things
I
got
the
emotions
out.
AS
My
mom
was
a
teacher
and
and
school
counselor
for
35
years.
So
I
called
her
earlier
today
got
all
the
emotion
out
of
the
way.
So
you
guys
can
thank
her
for
that
some
other
time
and
then
I'll
try
to
try
to
stick
the
to
some
of
the
objective
factors.
I
think
you
know.
First
and
foremost,
our
neighborhoods
by
all
measures
are
committed
and
engaged
members
of
the
edgewater
community.
That
hasn't
happened
by
accident.
AS
It
didn't
happen
overnight,
but
what
it
does
is
afford
us
the
ability
to
to
have
the
support
structures
and
to
have
the
the
social
bonds
that
allow
our
children
to
thrive
in
these
schools
and
for
us
as
parents.
It
it
allows
us
to
have
that
support
to
have
the
you
know,
quote
village,
that's
needed
for
our
children
to
thrive
and-
and
I
think
that
that
can't
be
set
aside,
I
think
that's
an
important
factor
when
you're
looking
at
these
things.
AS
I
also
understand
you
know,
from
your
perspective
and
from
the
county
perspective,
solving
the
capacity
constraints.
The
facility
utilization
issues
is
an
important
part
of
the
redistricting
consideration,
but
I
think
has
been
alluded
to
tonight
and,
as
the
older
woman
mentioned
before,
we
look
at
the
numbers.
I
I
personally
looked
at
some
of
the
numbers,
and
it
appears
to
me
that
the
over
the
long
term,
the
south
river
feeder
system
can
accommodate
our
neighborhoods
and,
alternatively,
moving
them
now
puts
them
into
another
system
that
has
similar
capacity
issues
and
can
really
create.
AS
You
know
create
a
situation
we
where
we
have
instability
for
our
families
for
a
long
time
to
come
and
where
you
know
we
could
just
avoid
this,
the
stress
for
our
children
and
for
our
families
all
together.
If
we,
if
we
look
at
it
as
a
in
the
south
river
redistricting
process.
So
you
know
I'm
very
pleased
that
a
lot
of
these
factors
are
are
in
the
policies
for
the
county
when
they
look
at
the
redistricting.
AS
I
think
it's
important
to
talk
to
all
of
us
all
the
families
in
these
neighborhoods
to
to
understand
how
they
all
really
work
in
our
daily
lives.
There's
so
many
things
that
if
you
look
at
a
map
or
a
number,
you
can't
see
based
on
what
we
do
every
day,
what
our
families
rely
on,
where
we
go
to
shop
and
things
like
that,
so
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
AS
AT
Thank
you
to
the
board.
My
name
is
jessica
packler
and
I
am
a
mom
of
two
kids
at
eastport,
elementary
two
more
who
will
eventually
go
there,
and
I
am
also
the
ward
8
representative
to
the
annapolis
education
commission.
AT
I
am
here
to
speak
in
support
of
continuing
the
redistricting
process
for
this
year,
as
it
is
prescribed
and
moving
forward
with
it.
While
the
edgewater
parents
are
making
a
lot
of
good
points.
That
is
exactly
what
is
discussed
during
the
redistricting
process
and
for
those
who
haven't
been
involved
in
this
process
for
a
long
time
or
perhaps
don't
know,
the
annapolis
cluster
of
schools
has
not
been
redistricted
in
over
20
years,
20
years,
our
kids
have
been
dealing
with
overcrowded
schools.
AT
They
have
been
dealing
with
inequitable
issues
within
the
different
schools
and
for
also
for
those
who
don't
understand.
The
annapolis
cluster
has
one
third
of
the
title:
one
students
in
the
entire
county
in
our
schools,
one
third
of
the
title-
one
students
are
in
our
schools
and
the
some
of
those
students
are
at
the
most
overcrowded
schools.
Tyler
heights
is
an
incredibly
high
poverty.
Population
germantown
has
a
high
poverty
population
hillsmeer
deals
with
some
of
the
some
some
very
low
par
some
very
poverty
issues
at
their
school
as
well.
AT
Those
are
the
three
schools
that
are
most
overcrowded
within
our
cluster,
but
there
are
also
other
things
that
have
been
happening
within
our
schools.
Currently,
there
is
busing
that
takes
place
all
over
this
all
of
the
school
system
that
takes
kids
away
from
their
neighborhood
schools
for
various
reasons.
That
may
have
made
sense
25
30
years
ago,
when
the
last
redistricting
was
done,
but
don't
make
sense.
Today
we
need
to
examine
all
of
these
issues
and
we
don't
need
to
wait
another
year.
We
can't
wait.
Our
kids
can't
afford
to
wait.
AT
Our
students
can't
afford
to
wait
all
of
the
parents
who
don't
have
the
ability
to
be
here
tonight,
because
they're
working
or
they
don't
have
the
transportation
that
are
in
our
cluster.
They
and
their
families
cannot
wait
another
year.
They
certainly
can't
wait
until
after
tyler
heights
is
finished.
We
need
it
done.
We
need
it
talked
about
this
going
forward
with.
It
does
not
mean
that
any
changes
will
be
made,
and
I
understand
how
horrific
this
process
is.
AT
AT
No
one
is
saying
that
edgewater
students
won't
stay
in
edgewater
schools,
but
we
need
to
move
forward
and
if
it
means
that
you
need
to
take
edgewater
out
to
do
so,
then
maybe
that's
what
you
need
to
do,
but
but
really
edgewater
parents.
It
needs
to
be
discussed
for
all
of
our
students.
So
please
move
forward
this.
Thank
you.
For
your
time,
thank
you
for
your
support.
AU
AU
One
of
the
battles,
though,
that
you're
always
going
to
constantly
run
into
is
the
political
process
here:
parents,
people
who
have
purchased
homes
in
more
expensive
areas
because
of
the
school
districts
are
not
going
to
want
to
be
redistricted
period
and
you're
going
to
continuously
run
into
that,
and
the
only
solution
for
that
is
that
parity
exit,
parrot
excel
parity
of
excellence
in
these
schools
needs
to
occur,
and
then
your
political
process
will
be
a
lot
easier
because
people
will
feel
better
about
redistricting
when
there
is
excellence
in
all
the
schools
and
right
now.
AU
That's
not
the
case
and
you're
constantly
going
to
run
into
into
that
issue.
Title
1
schools:
they
need
funds
so
that
they
can
have
smaller
classrooms.
That's
the
only
way
these
kids
are
going
to
be
able
to
learn
better
and
do
better.
I
I
participated
at
the
elementary
school
level.
I
volunteered
quite
a
bit.
That
was
what
I
saw
firsthand
the
smaller
the
classes
were,
and
they
were
small
when
my
son
was
there
and-
and
you
could
see
how
that
well,
the
kids
were
performing
in
that
kind
of
environment.
AU
D
D
D
So
because
of
that,
I
declined
a
seat
at
the
ibe
program
for
my
annapolis
middle
at
and
I
at
annapolis
middle
for
my
seventh
now
seventh
grader.
I
wanted
her
to
have
an
easier
transition
into
high
school.
D
Now
again,
our
area
is
on
the
agenda
for
redistricting,
and
I
wonder
in
a
couple
of
years,
after
monarch,
academy
and
crofton
high
and
new
construction
in
annapolis
is
complete.
Are
we
going
to
be
looked
at
again?
I
it's
it's
stressful,
it's
stressful
for
parents,
it's
stressful
for
the
kids.
I
don't
I
want
them
to
have.
You
know
stability
and
not
feel
like
a
ping-pong
ball.

Hi,
janet
norman.
I
was
a
member
of
the
redistricting
process
representing
annapolis
middle
two
years
ago
and
yes,
you
know
it
is
a
very
painful
process,
but
it
got
a
lot
of
needed
information
out.
AP
I
would
urge
you
not
to
look
at
number
of
seats
in
the
schools.
I
know.
I
know
the
state
has
state
rated
capacity
but
but,
like
ms
barry
said,
don't
look
at
seats
as
if
they're
cogs,
the
those
are
not
seats,
their
children,
their
children
in
those
schools,
georgetown
east
who
you
are
proclaiming,
has
so
much
room
in
their
school
system
had
the
lowest
park
scores,
I
think
in
your
entire
county.
AP
You
can
double
check
my
numbers
on
that,
but
I
thought
they
were
at
like
seven
or
nine
percent
proficiency
in
on
level
reading.
They
had,
they
had
some
of
the
lowest
park
scores
they.
Those
kids
really
need
the
small
classrooms,
the
mentorship,
the
one-on-one
to
get
them
on
the
right
track.
Like
all
the
gentlemen
spoke
to
you
about
earlier,
they
need
to
be
brought
up
on
their
reading
levels.
AP
So
so
don't
look
at
it.
As
you
know,
their
seats
we
can
move
around
and
in
in
an
equitable
fashion,
as
if
one
seat
in
severna
park
was
the
same
as
one
seat.
In
annapolis,
we
have
a
lot
of
issues
and
a
lot
of
support
needed
for
our
students
so
and
monarch.
I'm
hoping
that
you
are
doing
everything
possible
to
bring
monarch
online
and
help
with
the
small
issues
that
are
coming
up
and
and
push
it
through,
so
that
our
families
can
know
that.
AP
That's
that's
an
option
that
will
also
not
only
be
drawing
from
your
existing
population
of
public
school
students,
but
there's
a
very
real
possibility
that
it's
going
to
bring
other
people
into
the
indianapolis
schools
that
are
currently
in
private
schools
or
you
know,
forced
to
other
options,
so
monarch
coming
online
is
shooting
for
530
students
to
to
make
or
break
up
to
583
for
the
first
year.
So
it
will
not
be
1400
seats
open
next
year.
AP
I
hope
we
can
understand
the
needs
of
annapolis
schools
and
the
need
to
redistrict
and
the
need
to
balance
out
a
brand
new
school
at
rolling
knolls,
with
seats
available
and
small
classes
and
gorgeous
facilities
with
the
overcrowded
conditions,
and
you
know,
fungus
growing
in
trailers
during
tyler
heights.
So
we
really
need
some
help
for
our
students
and
we
hope
you
can
help
guide
that
and
and
guide
the
monarch
contract
school
to
be
successful
for
our
students.
Thank
you.

should
not
really
include
a
discussion
of
the
edgewater

north
