and
answer
sessions
with

our
goal
here
to
behave
as
we
would
expect
any
one
of
our
students
to
behave.
B
B
So
first
I
will
call
on
item
4.01,
2022,
2023
student
transportation,
opt-in,
registration
program,
ms
lisa
van
buskirk,
and
miss
holly
clyderline.
E
Good
evening
board
of
education,
I'm
lisa
van
buskirk
of
start
school
later
in
anne
arundel
county.
I
look
forward
to
the
presentation
on
the
proposed
opt-in
for
bus
transportation.
It's
hard
to
speak
before
the
presentation.
Of
course,
my
predecessors
suggested
to
your
predecessors,
surveying
parents
about
intended
ridership
circa
2013..
E
I'm
pleased
that
nine
years
later
we're
moving
in
that
direction.
There
are,
of
course,
valid
concerns
regarding
whether
implementing
an
opt-in
system
for
transportation
is
equitable.
First,
though,
we
must
acknowledge
that
the
current
transportation's
transportation
system
is
not
equitable.
I
assume
staff
will
address
the
efforts.
E
While
it
would
be
a
luxury
to
provide
bus
service
to
all
students
eligible
regardless
of
whether
they
ride
the
bus
or
not,
we
are
not
operating
in
a
luxury
condition.
Will
the
county
executive
and
county
council
fully
fund
the
request
for
23
additional
buses
and
eight
vans?
We
won't
know
that
answer
to
the
middle
of
june
and
those
buses
won't
be
available
right
away.
Best
case
may
be
late
next
school
year
or
the
following
school
year,
despite
efforts
to
train
and
hire
more
bus
drivers,
bus
driver
shortages
remain
a
concern
for
next
school
year.
E
It's
my
understanding
that
school
systems
that
implemented
an
opt-in
system
and
effectively
use
their
bus
riding
software
did
not
have
significant
bus
driver
shortages.
Neither
of
these
tools
were
available
to
aacps
this
school
year,
but
are
for
next
year
house
bill
283.
Should
it
pass
the
senate
this
legislative
session
realizing
there's
only
a
few
days.
Left,
though,
requires
that
buses
be
routed,
so
the
number
of
pupils
doesn't
exceed
seating
capacity.
E
We
know
we
have
more
students
than
bus
seats.
Implementing
an
opt-in
system
would
allow
us
to
meet
those
the
intent
of
house
bill
283,
but,
more
importantly,
would
not
allow
us
would
prevent
us
from
having
students
sitting
or
standing
in
the
aisles
of
overcrowded
buses.
I
look
forward
to
hearing
more
from
the
staff
regarding
an
opt-in
system.
Thank
you.
B
E
F
Good
evening,
dr
alato
president
tobin
and
board
members,
my
name
is
holly
clyderlein
and
I'm
one
of
the
school
counselors
at
oak
hill
regarding
the
opt-in
transportation
program.
If
I'm
understanding
this
correctly,
families
will
have
to
indicate
through
some
method
that
they
intend
to
utilize
school
bus
for
transportation
next
year.
If
that's
accurate,
I'm
very
concerned,
maybe
you
forgot
last
spring
when
you
sent
out
surveys
to
find
out
the
exact
same
thing.
F
F
F
Do
you
realize
how
many
students
who
needed
to
get
into
summer
camp
last
year
didn't
get
in?
It's
because
the
parents
who
had
easy
access
to
the
form
filled
it
out
so
quickly
that
the
slots
were
gone
before
other
families
even
knew
that
summer
camps
were
available
every
time
you
require
a
form
to
provide
resources
to
students.
It's
the
students
who
have
access
to
the
least
number
of
resources
who
get
shut
out.
F
You
are
creating
a
barrier
to
equity,
with
an
opt-in
program
think
about
the
logistics
families
who
never
completed
the
form
will
still
send
their
kids
to
the
bus.
Stop
the
bus
driver
can
either
stop
and
pick
them
up,
making
them
late
for
all
the
other
stops
which
will
result
in
angry
emails
or
they
can
pass
by
the
students
and
the
stop
is
not
on
their
route,
which
will
result
in
angry
emails.
F
Think
about
how
the
concern
and
equity
goes
away.
If
you
make
it
an
opt
out
program,
those
parents
who
have
the
privilege
of
knowing
what
their
work
schedule
is
next
year,
have
transportation
of
their
own
and
can
check
their
phone
multiple
times
a
day
at
work
can
decide
whether
or
not
their
children
really
need
the
bus.
Thank
you.
B
I
would
like
to
call
the
following
on
item
5.02
superintendent
search
committee
report,
mr
adam
windham,
on
the
item.
5.03
school
start
times
report
ms
lisa
van
buskirk
and
item
5.06
superintendents
report
school
operations,
mr
greg
thrasher
and
mr
adam
winden.
H
So
minor
mix-up,
I
thought
I
signed
up
for
operations
and
the
bus
issue,
so
my
first
speech
is
actually
going
to
be
on
the
previous
topic.
If
you
don't
mind,
that's
okay,
sorry
about
that
good
evening,
adam
windham,
from
what
I
remember
points
were
made
about
reducing
the
number
of
native
buses
when
prismatic
previously
brought
up
this
bus
opt-in
program
last
year.
H
H
An
opt-in
for
public
school
when
we
register
every
year
and
just
yesterday
I
opt-in
once
again
for
special
education
services.
Buses
also
don't
run
full
routes
for
all
special
education
students.
For
that
one
small
chance,
a
student
who
doesn't
normally
ride
the
bus
might
ride
the
bus
special
education
students
have
to
opt
in
for
transportation.
H
However,
if
the
purpose
of
the
opt-in
program
is
solely
for
the
benefit
of
school
start
times,
I
have
reservations
as
reservations
about
this
change
at
school
start
times.
Something
that's
impactful
to
the
community,
probably
should
be
put
to
a
vote
during
the
election
and
require
more
than
a
simple
majority.
H
You
can
say
you're
following
the
science
on
this,
but
science
funded
by
the
beverage
industry
once
told
us,
sugar
wasn't
bad
for
us
as
a
teenager.
I
remember
if
I
wanted
more
sleep.
I
went
to
bed
earlier
today.
Teenagers,
including
my
own
nine-year-old
who's,
not
even
a
teenager,
yet
is
overly
consumed
by
technology
and
information
age.
E
Thank
you
good
evening
again,
lisa
van
buskirke
starts
the
later
anne
arundel
kenny
two
weeks
ago
during
this
testimate
testimony
in
the
senate,
education,
health
and
environmental
affairs
committee
regarding
his
permanent
daylight
savings.
Steinbelt
delegate
ryan
crosby
praised
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
for
their
realignment
of
school
hours.
Even
if
we
may
disagree
with
his
view
towards
daylight
savings
time,
you
should
be
proud
that
he
acknowledged
your
efforts.
The
maryland
association
of
boards
of
education,
opposition
letter
to
daylight
savings
time,
while
not
naming
anne
arundel
county
specifically
also
acknowledges
your
leadership
on
school
hours.
E
Local
boards
of
education
have
been
responding
to
parent
and
student
input
in
recent
years
to
consider
major
revisions
to
the
organization
of
the
school
day,
focusing
primarily
on
adopting
later
start
times
for
high
schools.
System-Wide
reforms
to
adopt
later
school
start
times
involve
significant
study
and
alignment
of
policies
and
budgets,
providing
necessary
modifications
to
student
transportation,
scheduling
number
of
school
buses
and
drivers
and
impacts
on
after-school
activities.
E
E
What
is
so
different
versus
2016
in
the
outreach
not
having
to
fight
for
8
million
in
the
budget
for
one
and
also,
I
must
applaud
and
acknowledge
the
tremendous
progress
with
the
help
of
prismatic
services
acps
is
making
regarding
its
transportation
system.
Transportation
is
no
longer
the
largest
barrier
to
implementation
like
it
was
six
years
ago.
I
can
only
assume
other
barriers
to
implementation
are
being
addressed
behind
the
scenes
and
I
hope
you'll
learn
more
about
proposed
solutions
and
adjustments
to
school
meals,
activities,
athletics,
crossing
guards,
etc.
E
During
the
outreach
sessions,
child
care
will
of
course,
be
concerned
for
elementary
families
can,
in
conjunction
with
the
opt-in
system,
school
buses
potentially
be
routed
to
pick
up
or
drop
off
at
child
care.
Centers.
That
would
be
an
out-of-the-box
solution
to
something
we
know
is,
could
assist
our
community.
E
I
look
forward
to
learning
more
about
the
proposed
outreach
events
to
educate
our
community
on
why
the
board
made
its
decision
regarding
school
hours,
the
benefits
of
the
change
to
student,
academic
safety
and
health
and
mental
physical
and
mental
health,
while
also
acknowledging
the
necessary
adjustments,
everyone
will
need
to
make
to
ensure
successful
implementation.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
J
Good
evening
board
and
the
community
at
large,
my
name
is
greg
thrasher,
I'm
a
substitute
teacher
in
the
system.
I
appreciate
this
opportunity
to
provide
my
comments
and
recommendations
to
the
board
of
education
regarding
the
role
of
substitute
teachers.
J
Although
some
teachers,
administration
staff
and
others
continue
to
provide
outstanding
efforts
and
services
for
the
entire
community,
I
applaud
them
all,
including
the
board
of
education.
I've
laid
the
board
of
education.
America
has
been
under
attack.
Sometimes
it
feels
like
I
imagine,
you're
in
a
classroom
where
you
don't
know
if
it's
a
gold,
mine
or
a
landmine,
but
it
happens,
and
this
is
reality.
I
am
here
to
request
that
the
board
before
I
do
that.
I
do
want
to
say
this.
I
know
you
guys
have
an
awesome
responsibility.
J
I
respect
you
and
I
appreciate
you
when
you
speak
people.
Listen.
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
board
for
the
resolutions
they
made
for
parents
in
the
community,
as
well
as
acknowledgement
of
the
black
lives
matter.
I
appreciate
that.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
board
for
considering
the
budget
proposal
next
year
for
increasing
compensation
for
substitute
teachers.
I'm
retired
trust
me
they
need
the
money.
Finally,
I
recognize
I
understand
that
the
superintendent
is
responsible
for
day-to-day
operations.
That's
his
providence.
I
respect
that
as
well.
J
I
would
appreciate
the
board
would
consider
the
following
recommendations:
pass
them
on
the
superintendent
I'm
available
for
some
additional
information
quickly,
five
roles.
I
wish
the
board
and
people
at
large
would
elevate
the
role
of
substitute
teachers,
we're
not
just
babysitters
we're
not
just
sitting
in
a
room
doing
anything
we
matter.
We
care
we're
educators.
J
I
wish
there
would
be
ce
credits
for
such
two
teachers.
I
wish
there'd
be
a
uniform
form
where
the
teachers
would
give
us
lesson
plans
uniform
throughout
the
school.
I
also
wish
we
could
complete
a
uniform
status
report
after
we've
done
our
substitution.
Finally,
you
guys
matter,
I
appreciate
you
guys.
The
board
of
education
is
a
fundamental
fundamental
beacon
for
leadership
in
our
community.
When
you
speak,
we
listen.
Please
take
a
look
at
my
notes,
appreciate
it.
Thank
you
have
a
nice
day.
H
H
A
recent
article
states
teachers
are
quote,
quitting
their
jobs
at
a
record
pace
because
of
exhaustion.
As
I
read
various
articles
and
comments
from
teachers,
there
are
striking
similarities
in
the
exhaustion
I
saw
10
years
ago
and
that
of
today
leaving
out
the
exhaustion
of
ten
years
of
wars.
That
would
continue
for
ten
more.
H
We
also
were
experiencing
constant
arbitrary
changes,
excessively
increasing
redundant
paperwork,
maintaining
data
and
increasing
number
of
information
systems
that
were
played
with
constant
glitches,
increasing
professional
development
from
the
latest
fad
inability
to
discipline,
poor
performers,
general
information
overload
and
more
and
with
every
increase
in
our
requirements,
there
was
not
a
subsequent
decrease
in
pre-existing
requirements,
there's
only
so
much
time
in
a
day
and
instead
of
recognizing
this,
the
military.
At
the
time
pushed
out
this
buzzword,
we
call
resiliency,
which
came
with
more
training.
More
meetings,
more
briefings
and
more
emails.
H
In
short,
you
are
not
a
good
service
member
if
you
are
not
throwing
away
your
already
limited
personal
time,
for
quote
the
needs
of
the
air
force,
just
like
you're,
not
a
good
teacher.
If
you
don't
stay
up
to
1am
grading
planning
reading
and
studying
some
groups
and
people
will
tell
you,
many
solutions
is
more
quality
professional
development
training,
because
four
to
six
years
plus
of
college
was
not
already
enough.
Education
teachers
don't
need
more
programs,
more
requirements,
more
reading,
more
buzzwords
or
more
pd,
they
need
less.
B
F
Again,
my
name
is
holly
clotterline
and
I'm
one
of
the
school
counselors
at
oak
hill.
In
order
to
speak
tonight,
I
needed
to
fill
out
a
form
that
required
that
I
click
on
the
agenda
item.
I'm
speaking
about,
I
understand
where
this
idea
started.
Individuals
were
causing
disruption
to
the
flow
of
business
of
the
board,
but
things
happen
in
real
time
that
aren't
on
your
agenda.
I've
been
here
before
when
there
are
concerns
about
start
school
later,
bus
stops,
inadequate
lighting
of
lighting
or
sidewalks
concerns
about
drinking
water
and
recess.
F
Time
and
again,
I've
testified
on
the
problem
of
inadequate
student
mental
health
resources.
With
this
policy
in
place,
I
would
not
have
been
able
to
advocate
all
those
times
because
it
wasn't
on
the
agenda.
What
you're
doing
by
implementing
this
is
making.
It
seem
like
there
are
no
concerns,
because
no
one's
saying
anything
publicly
and
comments
are
not
posted
online
for
the
public
to
read,
but
what
recourse
does
the
public
or
an
employee
to
have
to
share
concerns
about
an
elected
board's
actions?
F
F
One
hundred
twenty
thousand
dollars
would
easily
cover
the
cost
of
the
nbct
salary
enhancement
for
the
school
counselors
who
are
nbcts,
but
I'm
not
supposed
to
talk
about
that
because
it's
not
on
the
agenda
will
it
be
on
the
agenda
when
before
it's
time
for
the
budget
to
be
finalized,
or
will
it
be
on
the
agenda
when
it's
too
late
for
you
to
take
actions
to
rectify
it?
I
speak
here
because
I
know
people
are
listening
a
few
years
ago.
F
K
Thank
you,
members
of
the
board,
dr
alato.
I
want
to
just
bring
attention.
My

the
school
and
thank
you
school
board
for
giving
this
opportunity.
I'm
just
going
to
talk
about
what
150
capacity
looks
like
it's
really
kind
of
hard
to
imagine.
150.
It
doesn't
really
mean
anything
unless
you're
seeing
it.
I
remember
this
winter,
as
you
all
probably
can
remember
it's
really.
K
It
was
really
cold,
and
so
I
was
driving
my
child,
along
with
a
bunch
of
neighbors
kids
to
school
every
day
and
picking
them
up
every
day
we
alternated
with
a
couple
of
neighbors,
miss
barrett's
here
as
well
with
her
children.
K
We
would
go
there
and
the
lines
would
be
backing
up
backing
up
and
backing
up,
but
we
couldn't
even
get
there
in
time.
The
crossing
guards
were
basically
saying.
Well,
we
have
what
20
minutes
to
cross
these
children,
and
then
we
got
to
go
to
four
seasons
or
then
we
got
to
go
to
odinton
elementary
school.
You
have
all
these
kids
who
are
walking
to
school.
Without
parents
without
crossing
guards,
cars
are
coming
in
and
out
parents
are
trying
to
rush
there.
Rush
out
rush
in
people
aren't
getting
to
school
on
time.
K
K
My
child
would
come
back
and
say
well.
We
couldn't
really
go
out
today
because
it
was
too
muddy
in
the
field
and
there
wasn't
enough
room,
you
know,
or
I
had
10
minutes
to
eat.
I
got
in
my
lunch
line
and
by
the
time
I
got
my
lunch
10
minutes
to
eat
and
children,
as
you
know,
they
don't
eat
really
fast.
K
It's
probably
hard
to
imagine
that
I
probably
got
in
trouble
a
lot
when
I
was
a
little
kid
right.
My
mom
would
sit
me
down
and
she
was
not
one
with
the
you
know
lay
down
with
iron
fist.
She
would
talk
to
me
and
she
would
say
look.
Why
did
you
do
the
thing
you
did?
Why
did
you
make
that
choice
that
you
made?
I
don't
know
I
kind
of
hung
my
head
down.
I
got,
I
don't
want
to
say
anything.
K
Please
stop,
and
she
said
you
know
what
a
wise
decision
is,
and
I
said
well,
what's
a
wise
position
mom
she
goes
a
wise
decision.
There's
two
things.
One
a
wise
decision
is
not
always
the
easy
decision
and
number
two.
A
wise
decision
is
made
when
you
take
the
time
to
understand
and
appreciate
how
that
decision,
if
made
today,
will
impact
you
and
other
people
tomorrow,
I'm
urging
this
board
to
think
about
that
when
it
makes
this
decision
tonight
about
how
this
decision
will
impact
the
children,
the
parents,
the
teachers,
the
crossing
guards.
B
L
Good
evening
my
name
is
carolyn
fumey.
I
was
the
arundel
high
representative
to
the
crofton
redistricting
committee.
As
of
today,
pining
orchard
has
961
kids
next
year.
The
estimate
is
thousand
fifty,
which
is
a
hundred
and
sixty
one
percent
capacity.
That
is
larger
than
ten
of
your
nineteen
middle
schools.
Without
the
physical
building
of
a
middle
school,
the
common
areas
of
this
school
are
designed
for
kids
of
611..
L
These
students
have
essential
needs
that
this
district
must
address,
and
we
have
some
concerns
we'd
like
to
raise
with
you
number
one.
We
respectfully
request
that
dr
arletto
authorize
principals
to
accept
out
of
area
transfers
for
kids
zoned
from
piney
orchard
for
the
next
two
years.
All
schools
up
to
110
capacity
should
be
open
to
piney
students.
The
current
deadline
for
audib
area
transfers
for
next
year
is
25
days
away.
Therefore,
dr
arletta,
we
ask
you
to
make
this
decision
quickly
and
communicate
it
with
piney
families
and
current
principles
as
quickly
as
possible.
L
Number
two
piney
needs
additional
teacher
and
administrative
resources.
They
have
less
special
education,
literacy,
counseling
and
speech
support
as
schools
half
their
size.
Another
assistant
principal
is
needed.
They
need
one
special
educator
per
grade
and
they
need
three
literacy
teachers,
tas
custodial
and
lunch
monitors.
The
parking
lot
is
out
of
code
compliance
by
30
spots.
L
A
gravel
lot
request
was
recently
denied.
It
needs
to
be
reconsidered
and
approved.
Please
keep
west
county
elementary
school
construction
on
track
and
on
time
it
cannot
come
soon
enough.
Piney
orchard
is
an
amazing
school
with
hard-working
dedicated
teachers
and
staff.
My
kids
got
an
excellent
education
at
piney
and
they're
in
goods
good
college
right
now,
please
give
my
neighbors
and
my
friends
the
same
quality
education
at
piney.
I
Good
evening,
thank
you
board
and
dr
arlatto.
My
name
is
alexander
snyder
and
I
am
the
mother
of
two
children
at
piney
orchard
elementary
on
the
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
website.
There
is
a
statement.
The
safety
and
well-being
of
students,
staff
and
visitors
is
paramount
at
anne
arundel
county
public
schools,
as
a
parent
of
two
students
at
piney
orchard.
I
I
have
a
hard
time
reconciling
this
statement
with
what
I
see
every
day
at
my
daughter's
dangerously
overcrowded
school
in
the
lunchroom,
students
are
crammed
into
a
cafeteria
with
barely
enough
time
to
get
through
the
lunch
line
before
they're
ushered
out
onto
the
cramped
playground.
My
youngest
daughter
has
been
to
the
school
nurse
multiple
times
this
year,
complaining
of
stomachaches
that
are
alleviated
with
just
a
few
bites
of
the
lunch.
She
didn't
get
to
finish
with
one
in
six
children
in
the
u.s
estimated
as
being
food
insecure.
I
It's
egregious
that
one
of
the
only
meals
these
students
may
get
is
rushed
and
inadequate.
On
that
crowded
blacktop,
an
eight
classroom
portable
takes
up
a
large
portion
of
the
playground.
Just
the
other
day.
I
was
at
the
school
not
to
take
pictures
for
the
yearbook
like
I
often
am,
but
to
pick
up
my
oldest
daughter,
whose
nose
was
broken
at
recess,
another
child
trying
to
play
a
typical
recess
game
smashed
into
her
and
left
her
bloodied
bruised
due
to
the
lack
of
space
to
safely
play.
I
She
may
require
surgery
to
correct
the
damage,
and
yet
another
portable
is
slated
to
be
added
to
that
space
and
replace
the
only
playground
equipment
on
the
premises
next
year,
meaning
while
my
daughter's
injury
was
incredibly
traumatic.
It's
unlikely
to
be
the
last
additionally,
portable
classrooms
themselves
have
intrinsic
safety
concerns.
The
modular
buildings
are
isolated
and
vulnerable
during
school
lockdowns
and
the
area
the
existing
piney
portable
is
in
has
just
one
egress,
which
hundreds
of
children
would
need
to
access
in
an
emergency.
I
Unfortunately,
it's
not
just
the
physical
safety
of
our
students
being
put
at
risk
in
this
untenable
and,
frankly,
outrageous
situation.
Studies
from
ucla
and
the
national
association
of
school
boards
found
overcrowding
reduces
students,
ability
to
pay
attention
and
increase
the
school
violence
in
schools,
with
over
130
capacity
like
piney.
There
is
a
clear
negative
impact
on
reading
achievement
and
the
rates
of
teacher
and
student
absenteeism
are
higher
if
the
board
and
district
really
means
what
they
say
on
their
website
and
in
these
meetings
you
must
allocate
more
resources
and
attention
to
this
issue.
M
Good
evening
dr
arlato
board
of
education,
my
name
is
diana
mcmullen
and
I'm
the
parent
of
an
eighth
grader
at
piney
and
I'm
sorry,
a
fourth
grader
at
piney
and
an
eighth
grader
at
arundel
middle.
I
have
been
involved
with
the
systemic
issues
in
the
arundel
cluster
since
2018
when
the
crofton
high
school
redistricting
occurred.
The
overcrowding
situation
at
piney
orchard
elementary
is
the
direct
result
of
the
2019
redistricting
that
was
approved
by
the
board.
M
Following
the
superintendent's
recommendations,
I've
provided
a
handout
package
to
you
tonight,
showing
how
aacps
has
chronically
underestimated
the
enrollment
projections
around
students
coming
to
piney
orchard.
The
current
enrollment
projection
for
fall
of
22
is
255
students
higher
than
the
number
provided
to
inform
the
decisions
in
the
redistricting
committee
in
2018
and
2019.
I
spent
many
hours
with
scott
schuler
and
testifying
to
this
board,
explaining
that
the
projection
numbers
were
low
and
was
repeatedly
dismissed
by
you
and
the
team
led
by
mr
shaknovich.
M
M
While
we
understand
that
piney
orchard
is
intended
to
be
a
holding
school
until
west
county
elementary
is
built,
the
disservice
that
you
are
doing
to
over
1
000
students
over
three
years
should
be
embarrassing.
I
know
that
I
am
only
one
person
standing
here
tonight,
but
I
represent
a
much
larger
group.
I'm
the
founder
of
the
advocate
for
the
arundel
cluster
facebook
group.
We
currently
have
over
900
members,
we
published
a
survey
to
the
group
to
discuss
the
possible
relief
to
the
school.
We
had
almost
300
responses
with
194
being
from
self-identified
tiny
families.
M
I've
also
included
those
results
in
the
handout.
As
a
group,
we
are
frustrated
that
the
board
of
education
has
placed
us
in
a
situation
where
there
is
no
information
being
shared
with
the
families
as
to
how
the
school
system
will
ensure
our
children
are
not
just
safe,
but
also
in
a
place
where
they
can
thrive.
It
is
your
job
to
provide
multiple
solutions
to
correct
this
unsafe
learning
environment.
N
N
Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
the
virtual
portion
of
our
public
comment
this
evening.
Speakers
will
be
a
lot
of
two
minutes
each
and
may
not
allocate
their
time
to
others
miss
how
we
will
indicate
when
your
time
has
expired.
The
board
does
ask
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
meeting
student
specific
and
personal
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
form.
N
O
O
Well,
I
understand,
there's
no
one
perfect,
all
accommodating
schedule
for
our
system
for
the
residents
employees
in
the
county,
I'm
bringing
these
concerns
to
the
board
in
hopes
that
you'll
consider
and
prioritize
the
importance
of
elementary
age
students
getting
the
latest
dismissal
times.
I
appreciate
the
efforts
put
forth
by
the
boards
and
the
importance
of
the
start
school
leader
initiative.
However,
the
consequence
of
implementing
this
program
for
only
a
fraction
of
the
children
will
negatively
affect
the
most
vulnerable
demographics
of
our
community.
O
Like
many
other
families,
I
have
elementary
age
students
and
we
rely
on
later
dismissal
times
several
reasons.
One.
We
rely
for
older,
siblings
or
older
students
to
assist
in
caring
for
our
younger
children
after
school
and
before
and
get
them
home
safely
before
the
parents
or
guardians
work
day
is
complete.
The
new
proposed
departure
schedule
eliminate
eliminates
this
as
an
option
resulting
in
financial
burden
for
families
now
having
to
find
child
care.
O
O
Lastly,
the
announcement
made
on
february
the
4th
2022
came
as
a
surprise
to
many
who
voted
in
the
initial
surveys
in
opposition
of
changing
school
times.
Furthermore,
the
specific
proposed
time
modifications
were
never
shared
with
the
community
for
further
feedback.
Before
being
announced,
the
board
debated
the
issue
last
spring,
had
several
presentations
intermittently
through
the
fall
and
decided
to
proceed
accordingly,
but
not
based
off
of
feedback
from
the
community.
O
These
conversations
were
also
being
held
during
a
global
pandemic,
where
many
many
families
couldn't
wrap
their
heads
around.
What
the
new
normal
would
look
like
after
the
once
the
pandemic
subsided,
unemployment,
financial
constraints.
All
of
those
things
were
in
the
forefront
of
many
families,
as
opposed
to
diving
into
a
proposed
uncertain
start
time.
So
I'm
asking
for
serious
consideration
to
either
modify
by
the
departure
time
to
ensure
that
families
of
our
younger
children
are
set
up
for
successful
and
the
safe
2022-23
full
year.
Please
leave
the
school
time
the
same.
N
B
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
members
of
the
board,
as
mr
secnovich
makes
his
way
to
the
to
the
well
to
present
some
information
to
you
I'll.
Just
by
way
of
reminder.
P
It
was
many
moons
ago
that,
in
discussions
about
about
start
times,
there
were
conversations
among
board
members
and
the
public
about
efficiencies
in
our
transportation
system
and
so
of
that,
what
of
the
many
things
that
have
arisen
from
that
conversation,
one
was
the
concept
of
an
opt-in
program,
meaning,
and
I
would
give
you
an
example
before
mr
shaknovich
gets
started
in
that
you've
heard
from
constituents
over
the
years
that
they
see
buses
driving
through
their
neighborhood.
P
That
is
a
quarter
full
or
a
half
full,
and
the
question
would
be.
Why
is
that
the
case?
Well,
that's.
The
case
is
because
we
determine
based
on
the
board
policy
what
students
are
walkers
and
which
students
are
able
are,
can
access
school
transportation
and
based
on
those
parameters.
We
then
plan
to
transport
all
those
students
that
are
eligible.
P
P
Then
there
are
seats
available
on
that
bus
and
therefore,
as
I'll
go
back
to
you,
efficiencies
may
be
lost
because
that
bus
is
running
that
same
route,
but
not
picking
up
that
same
number
of
students
that
it's
scheduled
to
do
so.
That
led
to
a
further
conversation.
As
I
remind
you
about
possibly
an
opt-in
scenario,
not
something
that
we
have
contemplated
in
anne
arundel
county
in
the
past.
P
So
we
were
charged
with,
and
the
team
moved
forward
over
the
last
several
months
behind
the
scenes,
working
on
what
something
like
that
might
look
like,
including
talking
identifying
school
districts
that
are
like
size,
two
hours
around
the
country
that
are
implementing
an
opt-in
program
and
again
that
being
where,
if
it
is
a
family
of
a
student
that
is
eligible
for
transportation,
has
the
would
then
be
asked.
P
So
with
that,
the
team
has
done
some
investigatory
work,
we've
done
some
planning
in
that
has
heavily
involved,
not
just
the
transportation
division,
but
our
student
data
division
and
our
technology
division
about
how
we
might
implement
this
program.
Our
plan
is
to
move
forward
and
implement
an
opt-in
program
for
the
2022-22
school
year,
and
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mr
scheck
now
which
to
give
you
some
of
the
details.
Q
Thank
you
and
good
evening
for
the
record.
My
name
is
alex
chechnova
chief
operating
officer.
As
the
superintendent
indicated.
This
is
not
a
a
new
matter.
There
are
a
number
of
school
districts
around
the
country
that
have
and
are
actively
using
an
annualized
bus
registration
model
we
reached
out
and
had
conversations
with
a
number
of
them
and
did
some
additional
research.
Some
of
those
include
school
districts
such
as
boulder
and
denver,
colorado,
boston,
massachusetts,
both
duluth
and
minneapolis,
minnesota
and
multiple
multiple
school
districts,
both
large
and
small,
across
pennsylvania.
Q
It's
very
common
in
the
state
of
pennsylvania
here,
more
likely.
The
online
registration
process
is
really
not
something
new
for
us
here
in
anne
arundel
county
schools.
As
you
remember,
we
did
something
similar
when
we
transitioned
back
from
fully
virtual
learning
into
the
hybrid
model
and
then
continue
that,
on
into
the
summer
programs
for
2021,
again
sort
of
thorndikovic,
but
even
prior
to
that
is
again.
I
believe
dr
lotter
alluded
to.
Q
The
matter
was
also
brought
forward
as
a
suggestion
for
the
school
district
to
evaluate
and
undertake
by
prismatic
services
inc,
which
is
the
consulting
firm
that
this
board
retained.
To
analyze
transportation,
and
to
take
a
look
at
evaluations
and
opportunities
to
improve
both
efficiency
and
effectiveness
within
the
transportation
operations.
Q
So,
as
dr
erlada
mentioned
on
the
18th
of
august
2021,
this
board
charged
the
superintendent
and
the
staff
to
quote
unquote,
evaluate
the
feasibility
of
implementing
a
positive
transportation,
opt-in
program
for
all
special
need
and
non-homeless
students
for
the
201
2022
2023
school
year,
and
to
report
back
to
this
board.
At
this
meeting,
we
have
done
exactly
that
and
we're
prepared
to
implement
the
mandatory
bus
registration
program
for
this
upcoming
fall.
So
some
of
the
benefits
were
alluded
to
earlier,
but
let
me
cover
them
in
a
little
bit
more
detail.
Q
So,
if
you
know
we
fully
can
grasp
some
of
the
opportunities
that
that
can
be
yielded
out
of
this
out
of
a
bus
registration
model,
clearly
route
efficiency.
So
when
you're
planning
routes
and
stops
only
for
those
students
that
are
intent
on
utilizing
the
bus,
you
have
an
opportunity
to
eliminate
underutilized
or
non-used
buses.
This
reduction
allows
route
planners
to
potentially
shorten
the
duration
of
the
routes,
or
even
combine
some
of
the
routes
to
make
them
both
more
time
and
cost
efficient.
Q
There
are
certainly
opportunities
for
efficiencies
in
terms
of
the
overall
size
of
the
bus
fleet.
It
may
potentially
allow
us
to
reduce
the
total
number
of
buses
that
are
acquired,
contracted,
maintained,
owned
and
operated,
thus
minimizing
the
asset
costs
that
we
have
to
maintain
and
potentially
providing
us
opportunities
to
redirect
that
revenue
right.
Those
funds
elsewhere
here
within
the
organization
towards
other
strategic
priorities
that
we
have
here
within
the
school
district,
it
is,
is
not
no
secret
that
you
know
not
only
us,
but
within
a
region
and
across
the
land
we
are.
Q
We
are
facing
driver
shortages
and
all
the
articles
that
I
read
and
become
an
avid
reader
of
cdl
drivers
stories.
This
is
not.
This
is
not
a
phenomenon,
that's
really
going
to
abate
and
a
number
of
the
school
districts
we
talked
to
actually
said.
This
is
the
very
reason
why
they
started
it
this
program
just
this
year.
Some
have
had
it
for
many
many
more
years,
some
of
them
moved
into
it
this
year
because
of
the
driver's
shortage.
Certainly,
again,
you
know,
lower
ridership
counts
and
more
accurate
counts.
Q
Another
benefit
that
many
districts
exposed
upon,
and
it's
one
certainly
that
we
strive
for
here
frequently
is
address,
cons,
confirmation.
It
provides
us
yet
another
avenue
to
reconfirm
not
just
the
address
of
the
students
but
their
physical
pickup
and
drop-off
to
make
sure
their
routing
is
done
accurately.
We
do
have
families
here
that
have
you
know,
custodial
you
know,
split,
custody
arrangements,
things
like
that.
This
would
much
more
effectively
allow
us
to.
Q
Q
It
essentially
sequentially
operates
like
this.
First,
we
do
have
existing
policies
and
regulations
that
govern
transportation.
So,
in
accordance
with
those
policy
and
regulations,
we
would
identify
the
eligible
students
and
begin
a
communication
process
with
them.
Regarding
the
registration
for
bus
services,
that
communication
would
be
essentially
confined
to
only
those
bus
eligible
students.
We
don't
want
to
confuse
somebody.
Remember:
we've
got
a
half
a
mile,
walking
distance
for
for
kindergarteners
a
mile
for
elementary
school
in
a
mile
and
a
half.
Q
You
know
it
really
would
just
confuse
somebody
who's,
a
secondary
school
student
who
only
lives
point
three
miles
from
the
school
to
even
give
them
the
form.
So
we
can
electronically
remove
and
call
them
out
of
the
initial
mailing.
So
we
don't
bother
those
families.
We
don't
confuse
those
families
at
all.
Certainly,
children
who
are
special
education
and
have
an
iep
related
transportation,
accommodation
or
our
mckinney-vento
students
would
be
identified
in
advance
and
they
would
be
registered
in
events.
We
would
take
care
of
that
on
their
behalf.
Q
So
we
would
essentially
generate
an
electronic
letter
and
there
will
be
a
marketing
communication
plans
as
part
of
that
I'm
sort
of
skipping
past
that
temporarily,
but
we
would
generate
an
electronic
letter
that
would
go
to
the
parent
or
guardian
of
each
one
of
those
transportation
eligible
students
and
that
would
have
a
secure
and
encrypted
link.
That's
unique
to
that
student,
thus
precluding
folks
from
forwarding
you
know
the
the
link
to
others
etc
right.
So
that
provides
us
with
some
integrity
and
security.
Q
In
terms
of
the
survey,
we
would
use
their
official
point
of
contact,
so
their
address
of
record,
which
is
essentially
the
one
that's
used
for
grade
reporting
and
all
other
legal
and
purposeful
communications
that
would
be
the
destination
for
that
outreach
and
again
we
would
we
understand
that
we
would
account
for
those
special
circumstances
where
we
have
shared.
You
know,
custody
we
already
routinely
have
a
mechanism
to
communicate
with
those
families
we
do
it
routinely.
We
would
do
so
here
again.
Q
The
information
would
go
out
in
both
english
and
spanish
and
we
would
use
all
of
our
available
communication
means
so
think,
connected
right
emails.
The
robo
calls
the
text.
We
would
have
a
web
presence.
There
would
be
a
mo
multi-uh
modal
communicative
process
where
we
would
use
all
of
our
assets
and
tools
to
get
that
information
out
and
the
information
itself
and
the
survey
would
be
able
to
be
filled
out
on
a
multitude
of
communication
devices,
I.e.
It
could
be
done
on
laptops
or
tablets,
smart
enabled
phones,
chromebooks,
etc.
Q
So
we're
going
to
make
the
instrument
as
viable
as
possible
for
everyone
again
across
the
various
platforms,
but
we
know
that
it
requires
multiple
communications
right,
so
we
are
going
to
communicate
and
over
communicate
and
repeat,
communicate
the
criticality
the
importance,
the
necessity
of
this
one
of
the
tools
that
we
are
developing
as
part
of
this
project,
though
again
along
the
same
lines
of
not
wanting
to
overburden
any
family.
If
a
family
responds
to
the
survey,
the
first
time
right,
the
survey
is
filled
out.
Q
It's
been
accepted
that
family
that
that,
for
that
youngsters,
actually
registration
will
be
pulled
out.
So
then,
when
we
re-communicate
the
next
time,
hey
there's
this
important
thing.
You
gotta
fill
the
survey.
They
won't
get
bombarded
again.
So
there's
a
second
communication.
Again
those
respond
get
pulled
out
again.
So
with
each
successive
communication,
there
will
be
a
smaller
subset
of
parents
and
guardians
that
would
receive
this
communication
as
well.
But
again,
we
would
do
that
repeatedly
in
multiple
ways
on
multiple
occasions
to
establish
the
broadest
awareness
possible.
Q
Q
Q
The
intent
would
be
to
begin
the
survey
or
canvassing
process
in
april.
It's
critical
that
we
conclude
that
by
june
we
close
our
academic
year
out,
be
the
grades,
be
the
course
election,
be
the
bus,
registration,
etc.
We
sort
of
close
that
out
at
the
end
of
june,
because
we
have
to
close
those
electronic
student
data
records
and
we
need
to
roll
them
forward
into
the
next
year.
Q
So
that's
sort
of
the
timeline
and
again
there
will
be
multiple
opportunities
where
this
will
be
over
communicated,
re-communicated
time
and
time
again,
but
it
does
have
to
come
to
a
close
and
it
would
come
to
a
close
in
june.
The
other
thing
I
want
to
say
is
it's
going
to
be
based
on
your
projected
school
of
attendance
for
next
year,
so,
if
you're,
a
third
grader
and
you're
in
a
mile
transport
zone,
you're
going
to
be
a
fourth
grader
next
year,
right,
that's
easy!
Q
But
a
fifth
grader,
that's
going
to
leave
the
one
mile
elementary
school
walk
distance
and
go
to
a
sixth
grade
secondary
school
mile
and
a
half
parameter
we're
going
to
project
that
forward.
So
that's
going
to
be
corrected
within
the
system,
both
this
spring
during
the
canvassing
and
registration
process,
as
well
as
the
the
rollover.
Q
We
know
that
there's
an
excessive
amount
of
reality
that
occurs
all
year
right.
We
have
families
to
move
in.
We
have
families
not
only
to
move
in
from
out
of
state,
but
they
move
houses
here
within
a
district
right.
They
can
move
from
crofton
to
shadyside
or
or
whatever
sort
that
is
so.
There
is
clearly
going
to
have
to
be
a
process
to
account
for
that.
We've
registered
those
youngsters,
whether
they're
coming
in
from
the
state
or
they're
coming
in
from
another
school.
Q
There
is
a
registration
and
an
onboarding
process
at
their
new
school,
and
this
bus
registration
is
going
to
be
part
of
that
registration
process
just
like
for
everything
else
that
they
are
registering
for.
We
also
know
there's
hardships
and
I'll,
give
you
just
one
example
truly
made
up,
but
there's
only
one
licensed
driver
within
the
family
and
that
licensed
driver
just
got
military
orders
to
ship
out
to
germany
for
eight
months.
It
happens.
It
happens
to
us
today
anyway,
we'll
be
able
to
take
an
account
for
that
so
hardship
arrangements.
Q
Q
First
of
all,
this
will
be
an
election
for
the
entire
year,
we're
not
asking
you
to
make
an
election
only
for
the
fall
or
for
the
spring.
So
it's
going
to
be
carefully
worded.
If
you
intend
to
use
the
bus
at
any
point
during
the
year,
please
say
yes,
we're
happy
for
you
to
say.
Yes,
you
know
we'll
save
a
seat
for
you,
so
it's
not
going
to
be.
You
know,
quarter
by
quarter
semester
by
semester,
we're
asking
you
to
make
a
decision.
Q
Q
What
we
heard
from
everybody
we
spoke
to
and
what
prismatic
told
us
from
their
own
experience
and
from
others
that
they've
talked
to
is,
if
is
you
have
to
go
with
the
affirmative
opt-in?
Quite
frankly,
most
of
the
folks
said:
if
you
want
to
do
opt-out,
then
don't
even
bother
like
you're
wasting
a
lot
of
effort.
You're
annoying
a
lot
of
people
just
don't
even
bother.
If
this
is
something
you
want
to
do.
You
need
an
affirmative
registration.
Q
Q
They
said
if
you're
going
to
go
the
other
way,
then
there's
really
very
little
use
of
do
utility
of
doing
it
and
and
honestly
you're
probably
going
to
create
more
mayhem
than
you're
going
to
try
to
solve.
So
with
that
I'll
conclude
my
remarks,
mr
superintendent,
I
don't
know
if
I
left
anything
out,
but
if
not
then
certainly
we'll
be
open
to
dialogue
with
the
board.
D
Yes,
thank
you
for,
for
all
of
that.
I
really
appreciate
it.
I
have
just
a
couple
things,
a
couple,
succinct
things
to
say,
and
then
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
and,
like
I
said
I'll,
try
to
be
succinct
as
possible.
Well,
a
lot
of
us
were
out
of
town.
I
wasn't
I
the
outrage
and
the
in
the
jumping
to
conclusions
on
social
media
in
response
to
this
agenda.
Item
was
stunning.
D
For
years
decades,
even
folks
have
vocalized
to
us
either
the
real
or
perceived
shortcomings
of
the
transportation
department,
such
as
my
child's
buses
painfully
overcrowded.
There
are
children
sitting
in
the
aisles.
The
route
is
too
long,
and
this
year
the
bus
doesn't
show
we
the
board,
with
taxpayer
money,
hire
transportation
consultant
to
evaluate
the
transportation
department
and
look
at
and
look
at
start
times.
D
The
consultant
does
the
work
and
makes
more
than
two
dozen
recommendations,
ranging
from
encouraging
us
to
enable
our
maintenance,
bus
maintenance
staff
to
become
ase
certified
to
writing
standard
operating
procedures
to
measures
like
this
one
that
address
capacity
and
efficiency.
We
need
to
know
which
children
ride
the
bus.
We
need
to
be
able
to
assign
them
to
a
bus
stop
and
to
a
bus.
This
is
no
different
than
a
passenger
list
from
a
train
or
plane.
It's
a
it's
as
much
as
a
safety
measure
as
it
is
necessary
for
efficient
routing
while
being
fiscally
responsible.
D
So
it's
stunning
to
me
that
folks,
every
year
are
concerned
with
the
size
of
our
budget
and
the
quality
of
the
services
we
offer,
we
make
attempts
to
correct
inefficiencies
and
be
fiscally
responsible
while
improving
our
services
and
we
get
hammered
for
it.
There
are
no
bus
slots
that
will
get
filled.
We
aren't
limiting
our
ridership
or
circumventing
our
policies
regarding
bus,
ridership
and
walking
areas.
D
We
can
have
a
healthy
conversation.
This
board,
regarding
whether
an
opt-in
or
an
opt-out
program
is
the
most
equitable
and
makes
the
most
sense
for
us.
We
can
discuss
how
we
can
ensure
that
we
receive
responses
from
our
tough
to
reach
families
or
those
that
don't
have
internet
or
those
that
don't
speak
english.
We
can
have
those
conversations
and
make
decisions
that
honor
our
mission
of
all
means
all.
D
C
D
Just
wanted
to
say
that,
because
it
was
bananas
on
on
social
media
over
the
weekend
and
it
won't
be
an
exercise-
I'm
gonna
be
as
willing
to
engage
in
in
the
future
if
it's
gonna
be
like
that,
because
it
was
just,
it
was
just
stunning
to
me
and
civility
has
definitely
left
the
building.
D
D
It's
the
safety
of
walking
routes
that
that
and
providing
busing
where
they
aren't,
where
they
aren't
safe
and
children
live
within
the
walking
distance,
so
I'll
just
take
folger.
For
example,
there's
a
there's
a
huge
area
around
folger
that
would
absolutely
be
walking
a
thousand
percent
if
it
wasn't
for
the
safety
of
a
rental
beach
boulevard,
which
is
like
the
autobahn.
D
I
just
want
to
make
sure
everyone
hears
that,
because
again
I
was
it.
Was
bananas
online
and
just
two
more
really
quick
questions
I
hope.
Second,
can
we
can,
if
we're
going
to
go
as
an
opt-in
system?
Can
we
control?
Can
families
opt
in
to
be
picked
up
or
dropped
off
at
a
daycare
facility
which,
as
many
folks
have
alluded
to,
can
be
an
out-of-box
solution
and
also
address
some
concerns?
We've
had
regarding
child
care.
Q
So
we
we
currently,
we
currently
do
that.
There's
a
process
to
apply
for
that
and
have
that
vetted
and
approved,
and
we
do
not
anticipate
that
changing
so
the
process
again
that
we
have
had
in
place
with
that
risk
regard
would
continue
on.
That
would
not
be
affected
by
whether
we
did
or
did
not
move
forward
with
this
cool.
D
So
I
want
to
make
sure
everyone
heard
that
as
well,
both
in
this
room
and
at
home
and
then
third
and
you-
I
just
want
to
reiterate
what
I
thought
I
heard
you
say,
and
that
is
if
we
do,
regardless
of
which
method
we
do
opt-in
or
opt-out,
that
will
deploy
all
of
our
resources
to
reach
the
families
that
are
hard
to
reach
and
make
connections
with
with
folks,
especially
folks
that
we
know
english
might
not
be
spoken
at
home
or
that
they're
not
that
they
don't
have
internet
or
they're,
not
engaged
because
of
their
circumstances
or
otherwise
that
we
will
work
with
those
families,
regardless
of
which,
whatever
route,
we
do.
Q
Absolutely
and,
and
certainly
as
you
can
well
imagine
that
some
that's
a
skill
or
muscle
memory
that
we've
developed
tremendously
here
over
the
course
of
the
last
two
years.
Right.
We've
gotten
much
better
at
that
here
and
we're
committed
to
continue
to
improve.
But
do
that
with
this
project
as
well
and.
D
B
R
Thank
you.
I
I
noticed
three
questions,
so
I
I
have
three
so
I'm
gonna
roll
the
full
here.
I
guess
just
give
me
a
second
because
I
had
separated
them
to
make
sure
we
got
all
of
our
information
before
commentary,
and
so
I'm
gonna
ask
my
questions
first
and
then
just
make
a
couple
comments
to
proceed,
reserving
right,
obviously,
if
anything
new
presented
and
the
first
one
is
actually,
I
think,
to
a
question
to
the
board.
R
But
on
june
the
2nd
of
21
a
motion
was
passed
by
this
board.
That
said,
the
cac
established
a
subcommittee
to
review
the
phase
2
findings
presented
by
prismatic,
which
includes
this
opt-in
to
the
board
and
report
regularly
to
the
board
through
out,
until
discharged
by
the
board
mr
smith
seconded
it.
It
was
adopted
6-2
with
miss
shawheim
as
antoine
opposing
and
everybody
else,
in
favor,
no
abstentions,
and
this
has
not
occurred
once
something
becomes
an
adopted
thing
of
the
board.
R
R
R
Those
are
emotions
supposed
to
be
tracked
and
what
we're
going
to
do,
I,
I
think,
maybe
at
the
next
meeting
we
can
tell
our
folks
what
we're
going
to
do
to
remedy
it
and
so
maybe
not
necessarily
a
ques,
a
question
to
be
answered
now,
dr
tobin.
But
I
think
we
owe
everybody
a
follow-up
on
that
and
thank
you
very
much
for
your
consideration
of
it
as
it
relates
to
the
details.
R
I
I
do
prefer
opt
out
versus
opt-in,
but
I
also
recognize
the
operational
components,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
I
remain
concerned
about
the
impact
to
staff
every
time
every
minute
away
from
education.
Obviously
we
don't
want
to
do,
but
it
does
sound
like
the
stage
in
and
the
phase-ins
are
something
that
we
will
be
able
to
recognize
and
not
see
that
impact
in
the
future
by
investing
the
time
and
now
so.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chiknovich.
R
R
However,
when
I
was
doing
my
research-
and
I
did
I
dug
in
on
the
opt-in
opt-out-
I
reached
out
actually
to
a
couple
of
the
districts
asking
what
it's
you
know
would
have
any
feedback
from
those
board
members
respectively
and
most
actually
returned
my
call,
and
so
I
felt
a
little
more
comfortable
about
it,
but
the
ones
that
reported
the
most
success
had
a
the
three
day.
R
R
Q
So
specific,
to
answer
your
question
directly:
no,
I
don't
have
a
number
that
I
can
share
with
you
today.
We
have
a
process.
We
have
a
process
that
we've
used
for
exceptional
transportation
or
hardship
cases
that
has
been
in
place
in
this
district.
From
from
when
I
came,
you
know
here
downtown
so
days
of
old,
it
was
100
paper-based
now
it's
become.
Q
You
know
electronic,
so
that
will
certainly
speed
that
up,
but
it
does
require
some
due
diligence
because
it
may
completely
shock
you,
but
sometimes
the
stories
we
get
don't
exactly
mesh
with
the
information
that
we
find.
So
we
do
want
to
just
like
with
residency
cases
just
like
with
many
other
things.
We
we
are
obligated
to
do
our
due
diligence,
and
so
we
do
to.
We
do
extend
things
on
our
side,
but
if
we
reach
out
to
a
daycare
provider
we
reach
out
to
employer,
we
do
something
for
due
diligence.
Q
If
they
don't
get
back
to
us,
that's
you
know
we
can
reach
out
again.
We
can
reach
out
again,
but
if
they
don't
respond
back
right,
that
could
impede
the
timeline.
So
we
don't
have
a
hard
and
fast
turnaround
time
like
that,
there's
nothing
that
if
you
don't
get
it
within
72
hours,
it's
just
automatic
thumbs
up
or
thumbs
down.
That's
not
the
way
yeah,
it's
just
not
the
way
it
works.
But,
like
I
said
okay,
we
understand
this
matters
a
lot
right.
Q
It
matters
a
lot
to
the
family,
but
also
matters
to
us,
because
we
need
to
know
whether
it's
going
to
be
approved
or
not
as
well,
because
we
have
to
make
changes
to
the
routing.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
there's
seats
on
the
bus,
etc.
So
we
need
the
information
as
badly
as
that
family
needs
that
information,
so
we
wouldn't
purposely
delay
or
in
any
way
sort
of
slow,
walk,
the
vetting
and
approval
process.
I
think
we
all
want
to.
We
all
want
that
approval
done.
R
Q
Ma'am
and
again
so
you
know
we
get
into
really
complicated
ones
right.
You
know
I've,
I
I'm
in
family
court
for
something
and
there's
battling
back
and
forth.
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
things.
We
got
to
be
really
careful
about,
and
sometimes
we
have
to
involve
legal.
Sometimes
we
have
to
get
the
ppw
involved.
R
It,
though,
be
possible,
I
I
think
I
think
some
of
that
turned
around.
I
agree.
Those
were
small
districts
or
cities
that
had
the
ride
share
per
programmatics
alternatives.
R
You
know
we
don't
have
that
in
anne
arundel
county
we
are
transportation,
adverse
public
transit
adverse
for
the
most
part,
but
would
it
be
fair
that
a
family,
if
they
do
make
if
they
do
make
the
request
for
them
to
go
from
driving
to
now
needing
a
bus
that
we
would
recognize
acknowledge
like
that?
There
would
be
acknowledgement
that
their
quest
was
received
and
hey
it's
going
to
take
a
little
while
longer.
R
Q
Like
that,
and
quite
and
quite
often
it
quite
often
it's
it's
really
us
reaching
out
hey,
we
got
your
forum,
we
need
something
else
or
we
have
one
more
question
or
whatever.
So
you
know
in
in
in
a
lot
of
cases,
they
get
a
pretty
rapid
response,
because
even
on
our
first
assessment,
you
know
we'll
reach
back
out
to
them.
If
we
need
anything,
you
know
additional
from
them,
so
they
generally
know
that
we've
received
it
and
we're
you
know
we're
beginning
the
processing
of
it.
R
Okay
and
then
I
I
don't
have
any
more
questions
for
staff,
I
I
mean,
I
know
our
diligence
and
efforts
with
it.
I
guess
what
I'm
going
to
say
is
that,
regardless
of
the
start
times,
this
is
something
we
probably
needed
to
move
to,
and
so
the
districts
who
did
just
like
you
reported
that
were
able
to
make
that
flip
switch
a
little
faster
than
us
were
able
to
see
a
more
stable
transportation
department,
and
so,
regardless
of
the
start
time
conversation,
I
feel
they're
two
separate
things.
R
The
prismatic
report
was
not
a
start
time
report
and
this
was
a
recommendation
in
the
course
of
upgrading
and
updating
and
modernizing
our
transportation
system
and
I've
seen
it
work
very
successfully.
So
for
me,
the
support
of
this
ultimately
is
not
of.
It
does
not
speak
to
the
deficiencies
or
concerns
expressed
about
start
times.
R
R
So
I
do
appreciate
that
and
again,
as
I
said,
normally
an
opt-out
is
always
more
equitable,
but
under
the
logistic
and
operational
circumstances
and
recognizing
none
of
the
special
education
folks
are
going
to
even
be
asked
and
the
walkers,
because
they
are
always
required
to
be
provided
that
transportation
number
one
and
you're
correct
it
would
confuse
so
what
I'm
seeing
so
far
is
great
and
dr
tobin,
I
would
just
recommend.
R
Maybe
I
know
we
have
announcements
as
it
relates
to
the
start
times,
but
perhaps
we
should
have
you
know,
as
our
operations
is
winding
down
more
into
normal
and
end
of
year
stuff,
which
is
probably
what
I
suspect
the
superintendent
wants
talked
about
this
time
of
year,
it's
april
that
we
include
some
updates
as
we
get
closer
to
the
launching
of
it
and
and
everything
else
moving
forward.
R
I
do
have
just
a
clarification.
I
don't
believe
this
is
under
regulatory
operationals.
I
didn't
see
anything
in
the
policy
that
requires
action
today.
S
I'm
going
to
start
with
so
when
this
was
first
presented
to
us,
dr
alato.
I
know
there
was
a
little
bit
of
a
furrowed
brow
and
maybe
skepticism
about
you
know.
Why
would
anyone
do
this?
Why
would
anyone
opt
out
or
not
opt
in
when
it
was
presented
to
us
by
prismatic
you
I
felt
like
you
sounded
uncertain
and
several
of
us
were
uncertain
about
how
could
how
this
could
be
effective,
but
now
the
work
has
been
done
and
the
research
has
been
done
and
I
I
appreciate
the
work.
S
I
thank
you
all
for
diving
into
that.
So
I
just
wondered
if
you
could
speak
for
just
a
moment,
dr
alado,
about
what
it's,
because
it.
S
If
I
recall
the
motion,
it
was
a
request
to
bring
a
plan
for
the
board
to
review,
which
is
what
we're
doing,
but
it
sounds
to
me
like
you
are
dr
elato
in
favor
of
moving
forward
with
this.
Can
you
just
share
a
little
bit
about
that.
P
So
you
just
said
it
I'm
in
favor
of
moving
forward
right.
So
that's
the
reason
it's
being
brought
forward
to
the
board.
If
the
board
is
not
in
favor
of
moving
forward
with
this,
then
the
board
certainly
can
take
action,
but
this
is
in
operations
decision
that,
in
with
my
team
and
learning
more
about
it
and
doing
the
research
and
ensuring
that,
as
I
talked
for
example,
with
my
senior
staff
earlier
this
week,
we
have
the
obligation
to
touch
every
family
on
this
right.
Every
family
that
is,
do
transportation.
P
We
have
an
obligation
to
touch
every
family
to
make
sure
that
we
get
a
response
and
then
I
think
to
miss
corcodel's
point.
It
is
something
that
will
become
part
of
the
registration
process
in
anne
arundel
county
from
a
kindergartner
to
a
12th
grader,
transferring
in
at
any
time
or
moving
from
one
grade
to
the
next.
It
will
just
become
part
of
who
we
are
and
what
we
do,
and
so
we
believe
that
we
can
move
forward
and
put
this
into
motion.
P
P
I
don't
know
that
we'll
have
significant
numbers
of
families
that
will
opt
out
of
transportation
when
they
know
that
they
can
opt
in
and
take
advantage
of
it
should
they
so
choose.
Even
if
you
we
looked
at
the
numbers
and
we
have
something
like
five
or
seven
percent
that
do
give
us
some
of
that
specific
information
that
can
that
can
yield
some
efficiencies
for
us
absolutely.
S
Thank
you,
so
I
jotted
down
a
couple
notes,
as
as
I
was
hearing
the
presentation
and
because
I
I
I'm
concerned
about
maximizing
the
use
of
this
opt-in
system,
because
I
I
imagine
many
families
will
think
well
gee.
There
might
be
a
situation
where
I
can't
get
to
the
school
on
a
certain
day,
and
so
I'm
just
gonna
have
to
opt
in
for
the
whole
year.
S
So
I
I
just
jotted
down
a
couple
notes
of
things
opportunities
I
see
to
perhaps-
and
maybe
we
don't
do
it
in
the
first
year,
but
to
improve
the
the
effectiveness
of
truly
knowing
how
many
kids
are
actually
going
to
be
on
our
buses.
S
S
Another
one
is
what
if
every
student
who
does
not
does
not
opt-in
perhaps
gets
a
couple
of
emergency
use
vouchers.
I
know
when
I
was
a
kid.
If
I
was
going
to
ride
my
friend,
janine's
bus
home
mom
would
send
in
a
note,
you
know,
and
I'd
ride
her
bus
home.
I
know
it
doesn't
operate
that
way
now,
but
if
parents
could
have
that
that
cushion
that
they
know
that
okay.
Well,
as
long
as
I
know
I
can
my
child
can
ride
the
bus.
S
If
there's
an
emergency
that
would
be
great
and
then
finally
for
our
driving,
mostly
seniors,
I
think
some
juniors
could
we
stop
charging
them
for
parking
spaces
as
they
are
giving
up
their
seat
on
the
bus?
S
And
that
way
you
know,
I
don't
know
just
seems
like
something
that
could
be
an
incentive
for
that
for
them
for
that
student
to
not
take
that
seat
on
a
bus
when
they're
not
going
to
be
using
it
anyway.
Those
are
some
ideas
and
then
I
thought
I
had
one
more
question.
S
S
I
I
think
I
think
some
of
us
had
skepticism
about
this,
as
I
just
remarked
a
few
minutes
ago,
but
but
you
know
similar
to
what
ms
schalheim
said,
we
we
we
are
tasked
with
making
this
school
system
the
best
it
can
be,
and
that
includes
making
our
transportation
department
as
efficient
as
possible,
as
our
families
have
been
asking
us
for
for
years.
So
I
I'm
someone
who
has
a
lot
of
faith
in
people.
I
don't
think
it's.
S
So
I
I
do
share
the
concerns
about
you
know
reaching
some
families
might
be
more
difficult
to
reach,
but
I
hear
a
real
commitment
to
ensuring
that
that
we
do
reach
everyone.
That's
the
important
piece
of
it.
So
as
long
as
we
do
that,
well,
you
know
I.
I
believe
parents
are
perfectly
capable
of
answering
that
question
and
I
I
I
appreciate
anything
we
can
do
to
make
things
more
efficient.
So
thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
ms
ellis.
I
don't
see
any
other
lights.
B
I
had
a
question
myself
and
a
couple
of
comments,
so
we
heard
some
testimony
earlier
indicating
that
at
at
least
when
the
hybrid
opt-in
was
happening,
when
we
were
first
opening
our
schools,
there
was
not
the
ability
from
the
school
building
to
see
the
responses,
and
I'm
just
curious
because
it
seems
to
me
if
I'm
following
what
you
were
saying,
mr
sheknovich,
that
one
of
the
advantages
here
is
the
address
confirmation
and
really
knowing
who's
on
a
bus,
and
I
know
that
at
times
that's
difficult
in
the
school
building
for
schools
to
really
know
who's
on
what
bus.
Q
So
two
answers
on
the
front
side.
Part
of
our
work
plan
is
to
provide
with
each
successive
round
of
notifications,
and
again
I
indicated
to
you
that
we
can
use
technology
to
sort
of
call
out
folks
that
have
already
responded
so
that
we
don't
keep
annoying
them,
but
with
each
successive
round
we
have
the
capability
of
producing
a
report
for
every
school
of
those
remaining
that
have
not
yet
responded.
That's
part:
that's
a
small
part
of
the
plan
of
working
with
our
schools,
with
our
ambassadors
and
bilinguals,
etc.
Q
So
we've
got
to
be
able
to
produce
that
on
the
front
side
on
the
back
side
absolutely
so
we
will
be
able
to
produce
reports
by
bus
not
only
for
the
administrator,
but
also
for
the
bus
drivers.
So
I
mean
we're
gonna
be
getting
a
lot
more
accurate
information
down
to
the
per
bus
level
that
will
be
used
in
various
areas
of
the
school
district.
We
think
that
is
a
of
tremendous
value
beyond
even
this
project
that
is
going
to
be
a
valuable
new
informational
asset
for
us
here
within
the
school
district.
B
B
Okay,
so
that's
that's
good
to
know
because
I
know
that's
been
an
ongoing,
an
ongoing
issue
with
regard
to
to
really
this
is
my
comment
and
ms
crocodile,
I
see
your
light
so
I'll
come
back
to
you
once
I'm
once
I'm
done.
I
I
just
want
to
say
I
know
there
have
been
a
lot
of
serious
concerns.
Miss
crocodile
has
voiced
them.
Others
in
the
community
have
voiced
them
about
the
equity
implications
of
this,
and
I
do
think
it's
worth
noting
as
I've.
B
Certainly
as
I've
thought
about
it,
I
mean
the
equity
implications,
for
this
are
actually
if
executed.
Well,
are
very
positive,
in
my
view,
because
the
more
we
actually
know
who's
using
the
transportation,
we're
in
a
better
position
to
provide
reliable
of
transportation
for
those
who
are
most
dependent
upon
it,
which
tend
to
be
our
more
underserved
students
who
don't
have
access
to
private
transportation.
B
But
the
caveat
is
what
folks
have
mentioned
is
the
execution
and
I
think
the
equity
concerns
have
more
to
do
as
they've
been
voiced
in
emails
and
other
responses.
We've
received
our
concerns
around
the
execution,
so
I
guess
I
would
say
the
one
other
piece
to
think
about
here
and
in
some
ways
I
think
this
has
been
embedded
in
your
comments,
mr
shaknovich,
but
just
to
sort
of
surface
them
is
the
accountability
for
us.
Having
touched
every
family
right.
B
To
I
mean
these
are
the
kind
of
things
that
I
think
we
will
probably
as
a
board
need
some
updating
on
and
some
reports
on
as
we
move
forward,
so
we're
clear
that
all
of
that
has
occurred
and
if
there
are
stumbling
blocks
or
or
difficulties
in
certain
areas,
we're
aware
of
them,
and
we
can
make
sure
that
all
of
that
is
is
managed
so
that
by
the
time
we're
wrapping
this
up
and
we're
ready
to
go.
B
Because
those
really
are
the
central
concerns,
I
think
around
equity
for
this.
But
overall
I
I
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
think
this
is
terrific.
I'm
grateful
for
the
superintendent's
recommendation
on
this
and
I
think
that
obviously,
a
huge
amount
of
work
has
been
done
and
I
think
this
does
do
something
that
we
absolutely
have
a
duty
as
a
board
to
do,
which
is
to
ensure
that
we
use
our
resources
in
the
best
possible
way.
So,
ms.
R
You
dr
tobin,
as
actually
has
to
do
with
the
answer
you
got
to
one
of
your
questions
that
just
sort
of
struck
me
so
having
the
desegregated
data
by
school
could
possibly
in
theory,
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong,
then
also
allow
us
to
maybe
dig
in
a
little
deeper
into
the
after-school
transportation
challenges
that
certain
schools
have
meaning
that
with
that
data,
could
we
not
then
ascertain
and
target,
since
we
will
still
be
operating
under
limited
resources
and
not
enough
for
all?
R
Therefore
they
may
be
better
suited
candidates
to
be
a
priority,
be
prioritized
for
after
school
pro
programming
as
it
relates,
is
that
something
that
we
could
also
benefit
from
in
in
data.
Q
You
know
what
what
I'll
tell
you
in
general
is
or
not.
Well,
no,
I
so
right
now
we
don't
even
have
the
data
right
yeah,
so
I
mean
no.
No,
no,
I'm
I'm
I'm
leading
into
a
good
thing.
I
think
I
think
once
we
have
the
data,
I
think
we
can
use
it
for
a
lot
of
things
that
we
that
some
of
which
we
can
contemplate
today
and
others
that
we're
probably
going
to
learn
going
forward.
Q
But
I
think
it'll
just
be
wonderful.
To
now
have
that
data,
and
now
we
can
be
able
to
begin
analyzing
it
and
utilizing
it.
You
know
for
different
purposes,
so
I
I
can
see
that
being
another
outgrowth
of
this
effort
and
there's
probably
many
more,
some
of
which
I'm
can't
even
envision
sitting
here
today,
but
I'm
sure
some
smart
person
is
going
to
figure
it
out
within
the
next
12
months
or
so
once
we
have
the
data.
R
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
once
again.
I
know
the
transportation
has
to
change,
because
how
we
conduct
business
in
transportation
has
changed
all
across
the
nation
in
the
region
in
the
state.
You
know
and
we're
not
alone.
I
mean
at
one
point
one
of
our
one
of
our
neighboring
counties
even
asked
for
the
the
national
guard
to
consider
helping.
I
mean
that
those
are
the
levels
and
degrees
of
of
challenges
and
they
don't
go
away
in
a
month
or
two.
R
Unfortunately,
so
I
am
looking
forward
to
some
new
opportunities,
but
also
to
to
stabilize
this
for
those
who
do
need
the
transportation
and
then
work
towards
those
longer
solutions
that
cannot
just
be
flipped
with
a
switch.
Thank
you
guys
so
very
much.
I
know
it's
an
ongoing
effort
and
it's
greatly
appreciated.
B
Okay,
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
item
5.01
president's
report.
Just
briefly,
I
meant
to
mention
our
colleague
ms
frank
cannot
be
with
us
tonight.
She's
under.
B
B
So,
if
for
those
of
you
who
weren't
able
to
attend
it's
available
online,
excellent,
excellent
information,
wonderful
contributions
by
our
students
and
wonderful
leadership
by
ms
omisori,
and
so
thank
you,
everyone,
okay,
I
believe
miss
schoelheim-
is
stepping
in
tonight.
For
ms
frank,
to
give
the
report
item
5.02
the
update
on
the
superintendent's
search
committee.
D
Yes,
thank
you
and
I
completely
agree.
I
watched
it
last
night.
It
was
stunning
it
you
should
all
watch
it.
It
was
a
wonderful
forum.
I
know
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
item
5.02,
another
plug
for
miss
anasari's
work
and
the
panel
of
students
blew
my
mind
in
a
very
good
way.
All
right
here
we
go
so
the
work
of
the
superintendent
search
committee
continues
to
recap.
D
The
application
deadline
is
april
30th.
The
committee
continues
to
work
with
the
consultant
and
is
committed
to
finding
the
most
qualified
applicant
per
state
law.
A
superintendent
or
interim
superintendent
must
be
in
place
by
july,
1st,
again
state
law.
If
the
board
is
unable
to
find
an
exceptional
candidate,
an
interim
will
be
appointed
and
we
will
continue
to
update
the
public
and
the
board
throughout
the
process.
Thank
you
very
much.
B
R
S
Thank
you,
dr
tobin.
Yes,
just
briefly,
I'm
gonna
kick
this
off.
By
introducing
this
new
video,
you
may
have
heard.
T
That
changes
are
coming
to
school
schedules
in
august,
when
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
move
to
healthier
school
start
times.
That
will
greatly
benefit
our
students
in
the
2022-2023
school
year.
School
hours
will
align
with
recommendations
from
a
host
of
medical
and
other
organizations
that
have
talked
about
the
positive
impacts
later
start
times
have
on
the
physical
and
mental
health
of
adolescents.
T
T
This
change
also
better
aligns
sleep
habits
for
students
at
late,
starting
elementary
schools,
many
of
whom
wake
hours
before
their
school
day
even
begins
at
every
level.
It
all
adds
up
to
one
thing:
students
who
are
better
prepared,
both
physically
and
mentally,
not
just
to
succeed
in
the
classroom
but
to
excel,
while
aacps
has
been
working
for
more
than
a
year
to
prepare
our
school
community
for
the
new
start
and
dismissal
times.
We
recognize
that
this
change
presents
some
scheduling
challenges
for
many
families.
T
We
believe
we
can
successfully
make
this
important
shift
for
all
of
our
students,
just
as
many
school
systems
across
the
nation
have
accomplished
for
their
students.
We
know
you
may
have
questions.
We
are
prepared
to
provide
the
answers
as
we
move
forward
on
this
path
for
more
information
on
the
history
and
research
leading
to
this
change,
as
well
as
the
latest
developments,
you
can
go
to
our
special
website.
Www.Aacps.Org.
S
So
clearly,
there's
a
familiar
voice
there
and
mr
mosher,
would
you
mind
joining
me
up
here
for
a
moment
just
to
quickly
introduce
the
website
that
your
team,
but
first
of
all
huge
kudos,
mr
mosher,
to
you,
and
your
amazing
design
and
production
team
that
that
video
was
fantastic,
really
sums
it
up
in
a
nutshell,
and
as
we
introduce
the
website
here,
I
just
thought
you
could
could
join
me
in
this.
T
Well,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
for
the
record
bob
mosher
chief
communications
officer.
I
will
tell
you
that
my
contribution
to
the
video
is
the
voice.
We
gave
our
amazing
design
and
print
folks
the
script,
and
that
is
what
they
gave
us
and
we
made
no
changes
to
it.
There's
no
reason
to
make
any
changes
to
it.
T
They
did
an
amazing
job.
So
so
I
appreciate
I
appreciate
you
recognizing
that.
Would
you
like
me
to
talk
about
this
site
now?
Are
you
that.
S
It
is
going
to
be
ever
evolving
and
growing,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
you
again
for
those
efforts
and
and
here's
what
mr
mosher
and
his
team
came
up
with.
T
So
this
is
very
much
as,
as
mrs
ellis
says,
a
work
in
progress.
We
will
be
adding
to
it.
It
is
a
living
document
of
sorts,
but
it
was
important
to
put
the
research
information
which
you
see
there
on
the
right.
Each
of
those
links
goes
to
a
study
or
a
position
paper.
T
T
That
results
can
be
that
answers
can
be
given
directly
to
those
who
who
pose
those
questions,
and
then
we
can
categorize
the
topics
of
the
questions
into
what
we
call
tiles
and
put
them
on
a
website
so
that
somebody
can
come
back
in
two
weeks.
Let's
just
say,
and
look
for
I'd
like
to
find
out
questions
about
child
care
as
an
example
and
click
on
a
child
care
tile
and
all
the
questions
that
we
have
answered
will
be
there.
So
we
will
add
more
information
to
this.
T
S
That's
wonderful,
thank
you
for
sharing
that
and
as
a
reminder,
as
you
shared
with
me
there,
there
will
be
a
spanish
version
of.
C
S
And
yeah
that
that
faq
section
will
continue
to
grow
I've
already
written
down
a
few
questions
that
I
I
know
have
been
asked
so
we'll
continue
communicating
to
build
that
and
the
community
again
when
the
when
the
website
switches
over
to
the
more
as
you
said,
modern
version
of
it,
then
the
community
will
have
even
more
opportunities.
If
you
don't
see
your
answer,
there
you'll
be
able
to
to
reach
out
and
we'll
keep
updating
it.
So.
T
And
I
do
want
to
point
out
one
thing
about
the
website.
Most
of
the
text
is
in
what
we
call
native
content
and
not
links
to
pdfs
so
that
you
can
use
that
google
translate
button
there
and
you
can
translate
any
of
that
text
into
any
of
those
languages.
Yes,.
S
Yes,
that's
great,
and
then
so
yes,
there's
gonna,
be
forums
coming
and
and
so
stay
tuned
for
that
it'll
be
after
spring
break.
Obviously-
and
I
I
think
at
this
point,
the
the
biggest
concern
we're
hearing
and
understandably
so
is
families
have
concerns
about
child
care.
I
think
for
some
families
it's
gonna
get
better
because
they
won't
need
both
before
and
after
care,
but
for
other
families.
It's
gonna,
you
know,
create
some.
Some
changes
logistically
difficult
situation
for
some
families.
S
So
we
are
aware
we
hear
you
and
the
team
is
working
on
ways
to
connect
families
with
resources,
so
stay
tuned.
For
that
we're
going
to
be
as
helpful
as
we
can.
I
think
that
about
sums
it
up
did
I
miss
anything.
S
Thank
you
again
and
please
thank
thank
your
team
for
all
of
it.
Thank.
B
Yes,
thank
you
very
much,
mr
mosher,
and
your
entire
team.
I
see
ms
schoelheim's
life.
D
Yeah,
I
also
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
mr
mosher
and
to
the
entire
team.
I
also
thought
the
video
was
fabulous.
I
showed
it
to
my
fifth
grader.
D
She
understood
it,
she
got
it,
she
loved
it.
I
thought
it
was.
I
just
thought
it
was
a
really
wonderful
effort.
Will
you
be
the
voice
for
the
spanish
version.
D
And
and
yeah
I
just
you
know,
I
look
forward
to
seeing
this
grow
and
just
thank
you
for
and
to
ms
ellis
for
for
being
the
sort
of
the
liaison
and
helping
us
get
off
the
ground,
and
I
know
this
is
a
long
time
in
coming.
We
initially
said
something
about
forms.
You
know
a
while
ago
and
you
know,
but
it's
not
it's
worth
the
wait
to
get
all
the
information
out
properly.
So
yeah.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
I
should
have
mentioned
that.
I
I
asked
ms
ellis
to
be
the
board
liaison
on
this
and
she
kindly
agreed,
which
has
been
a
fair
amount
of
work.
But,
yes,
information
will
be
continue
to
be
forthcoming.
B
We
will
have
the
forums
and
we
will
have
some
great
ways
for
people
to
send
in
their
questions.
Get
responses
see
the
questions
that
other
people
have
posed
see
those
responses,
like
some
of
the
other
things
we've
just
discussed
with
regard
to
the
opportunities
that
the
data
we're
going
to
have
on
buses
are
going
to
present.
I
think
we're
also
finding
some
software
potential
with
regard
to
interactive
q,
a
that
will
be
useful
for
this
process,
but
will
also
be
useful
in
the
long
run
for
a
lot
of
our
outreach.
B
U
Good
afternoon,
madam
president,
mr
vice
president,
good
evening,
my
name
is
gloria
dent
and
I
really
want
to
talk
to
you
a
little
bit
more
about
policy.
Normally,
I
don't
have
a
long,
I'm
not
long-winded,
but
policy
has
become
to
become
a
very
touching
subject,
especially
with
all
the
things
that
are
making
that
we're
making
modifications
to
as
it
pertains
to
the
school.
I
would
encourage
the
public
to
please
utilize
the
time
when
policies
are
put
out
on
the
portal
to
make
your
public
comments.
U
That's
where
we
can
make
change,
that's
where
we
can
affect
change.
What
I
see
most
often
is
the
comments
that
are
in
the
public
comments
or
things
that
are
made,
that
about
areas
that
do
affect
policy,
but
there's
no
policy
in
place.
So
I
just
want
to
plead
to
the
public
for
please
take
time
out
when
the
policies
open
and
make
sure
that
you
make
your
comments
so
that
your
voices
can
be
heard.
But
more
so
said
we
can
put
it
in
in
writing
and
then
you
will
have
a
voice
at
the
table.
U
It
is
a
little
bit
difficult
to
make
a
motion
for
everything
that
affects
the
school,
but
it's
a
lot
easier
if
we
would
take
time
out
to
put
it
in
policy
and
then
we
do
have
a
definitive
way
to
make
sure
that
we
can
not
only
represent
the
public
properly
but
also
hear
your
voice.
That's
all
I
have
thank
you.
U
B
P
The
operations
portion
is
I'm
going
to
be
setting
aside
tonight
and
into
the
future.
It's
really
going
to
be
from
this
point
forward
information
about
what's
happening
in
the
school
system,
so
our
new
director
of
transportation,
mrs
terry
whitehead,
officially
came
on
board
aacps
at
the
end
of
last
week.
P
P
The
federal
government
has
extended
the
cdl
under
the
hood
testing
waiver
through
june
30..
It
was
initially
set
to
expire
on
march
31..
We
have
not
officially
heard
from
the
state
department
of
transportation
and
motor
vehicle
administration
if
maryland
will
adopt
this
modification
and
thus
extend
the
waiver
as
well,
but
we
suspect
that
that
is
likely.
P
P
At
the
event,
the
event
is
being
held
in
conjunction
with
the
anne
arundel
workforce
development
corporation
and
will
also
have
representation
from,
of
course,
aacps
recreation
of
parks,
county
department
of
health
and
the
county
department
of
public
works
with
a
very
low
number
of
covert
cases
among
our
students
and
the
low
case
rate
across
anne
arundel
county
beginning
with
our
return
to
classes
after
spring
break.
We
will
no
longer
provide
direct
synchronous
instruction
to
those
students
who
have
tested
positive
for
covet
and
are
isolating.
P
P
The
dell
scholars
program
started
in
2004
places
greater
emphasis
on
a
student's
determination
to
succeed
than
just
academic
record
and
test
scores.
The
purpose
of
the
scholarship
program
is
to
empower
students
to
gain
the
knowledge,
skill
sets
and
attitude
needed
to
cope
with
their
changing
world
and
the
circumstances
in
which
they
live.
The
scholarships
come
with
a
20
000
reward
to
be
used
over
the
course
of
the
next
six
years,
as
well
as
a
laptop
and
printer.
P
As
you
may
be
aware,
we
have
been
working
with
our
high
schools
and
the
anne
arundel
county
board
of
elections
to
increase
awareness
of
voter
registration
process
for
high
school
students.
We
just
completed
the
first
round
of
work
in
our
schools
and
the
results
were
excellent.
254
students
registered
to
vote
and
another
145
took
information
home
to
complete.
P
P
With
respect
to
schools,
we
had
three
high
schools,
arundel
glen,
burnie
and
northeast
post,
their
highest
graduation
rate
ever
and
old
mill
high
school
had
its
highest
graduation
rate
in
six
years.
As
a
result,
we
now
have
nine
out
of
the
out
of
our
13
high
schools
with
graduation
rates
above
90
percent.
P
Recently,
we've
had
we've
seen
students
soar
at
our
science
and
engineering
expo
history
day,
competition,
dance,
showcases,
spring
musicals,
art
exhibits,
creative
writing,
competitions,
vex,
first
and
sea
perch
robotics
tournaments
essay
contests.
The
spelling
bee
mesa
engineering
challenges,
24
game
matches,
internships
and
many
many
more.
Our
students
share
their
amazing
talents,
knowledge,
ingenuity
and
skills
within
our
county
throughout
maryland
across
the
nation
and
internationally
as
well.
P
Most
certainly
is
also
exciting
to
see
our
seniors
begin
to
receive
their
college
acceptances
begin
to
earn
their
workforce
certifications
receive
scholarship
offers
and
make
their
decisions
to
serve
in
one
of
the
branches
of
the
us
military.
Our
students
make
us
proud.
They
really
are
career
and
college
ready.
Thank
you,
madam
president,.
S
Just
enjoyed
a
very
uplifting
report
and
thank
you,
dr
alato,
and
I
want
to
also
celebrate
a
very
busy
play
and
musical
season
that
our
county
has
experienced
well
done
to
all
of
our
schools.
It's
just
exciting
to
see
live
theater
again.
Thank
you.
R
R
It
you
know,
transportation
is
and
remains.
You
know
something
that
we
have
invested
a
lot
of
time
and
resources
and
will
continue
to
do
so
and
so
having
fresh
eyes,
especially
with
her
experience.
I
know,
is
going
to
carry
us
very
far
as
we
continue
to
instruct
positive
change
and
modernization
of
our
transportation
system.
So
welcome
aboard
mrs
whitehead.
C
Oh
so
yeah,
I
haven't
spoken
this
meeting,
which
is
rare,
but
I
will
say
I
was
also
very,
very
happy
to
hear
today's
superintendent's
report
just
because,
after
as
a
senior
and
knowing
many
of
the
students
that
you
listed
out
and
being
one
of
those
students
that
you
listed
in
those
many
categories,
it
feels
really
nice
that
my
last
year
in
aacps
gets
to
be
one
where
we
don't
have
to
wear
masks
where
it
looks
very
similar
to
my
ninth
grade
year
and
where
it
feels
very
normal,
quick
shout
out
to
shrek
the
musical
at
arundel.
C
Just
because
I
remember
buying
the
shrek
ears
at
f
hall,
and
it
was
really
nice
because
last
year
I
couldn't
even
imagine
being
in
f
hall,
so
to
actually
participate
in.
What
I
feel
like
high
school
should
always
be
was
just
really
really
really
nice.
Considering
that
my
spanish
teacher
has
a
countdown
of
how
many
days
we
have
left
and
it
is
closing
in
on
less
than
30.-
and
it's
really
hard
to
believe.
C
But
I'm
so
glad
that,
through
the
work
that
dr
alato
and
his
office
have
done
to
make
sure
we
have
been
able
to
come
back
and
be
better
than
once.
We
how
we
once
left.
I
want
dr
lloyd
to
know
it
does
not
go
unnoticed
and
I
speak
for
all
the
seniors
out
there.
Who
are
one
happy
we
get
to
have
a
prom.
I
still
define
my
own
prom
dress
and
two
are
happy.
You
get
to
have
a
graduation
and
are
very
thankful
for
the
senior
year
we've
had
so
far.
B
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
think
we
are
all
incredibly
excited
to
hear
a
report.
That's
a
report,
not
a
lot
of
the
other
things
that
so
much
as
of
time
has
had
to
be
taken
with
mr
silkworth.
N
B
Yes
and-
and
I
will
simply
add
also
just
as
a
recovering
political
scientists-
I'm
just
really
glad
to
see
all
those
students
registering
to
vote
as
well,
because
we
want
to
hear
from
them
they're
our
future.
B
B
P
L
V
U
I
second
or
you
have
oh
I'm
sorry.
I
thought
I
heard
that
I
moved
that
we
accept
the
administrative
personnel
appointments,
as
recommended.
V
V
C
V
W
Good
evening
for
the
record,
jeannette
ortiz,
legislative
and
policy
council
before
you
is
policy
bcb,
a
public
comment
at
board
meetings.
This
is
on
second
reading.
This
policy
was
on
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
I
did
get
a
couple
of
questions
from
a
member
of
the
public
which
I
responded
to
and
that's
included
in
your
meeting
materials
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
A
M
D
Still
foggy
from
okay
go
ahead,
so
I,
as
one
doesn't
circulated
this
in
a
dance.
So
I
would
like
to
move
that.
D
We
edit
item
6
c,
no
c6,
sorry
on
the
policy
to
read
as
follows,
and
everyone
should
have
this,
but
I'm
just
I'm
just
going
to
read
it
for
the
record
that
speakers
are
expected
to
keep
their
comments
focused
on
the
topics
of
the
agenda
item
for
which
they
signed
up
to
speak
comments
shall
remain
civil
and
appropriate
and
may
not
include
personal
attacks
on
individuals,
obscene
or
profane
language
or
threats
of
violence,
intimidation
or
harassment.
D
An
individual
who
does
not
adhere
to
these
expectations
shall
forfeit
any
remaining
speaking
time.
The
board
president,
as
presiding
officer
at
meetings,
may
direct
an
individual
whose
public
comments
do
not
adhere
to
these
expectations
to
leave.
The
meeting
speakers
are
expected
to
comply
with
any
such
direction
from
the
board
president.
S
Yes,
thank
you.
It's
it's
not
about.
S
Anything
in
particular
in
in
the
motion
that
I
I
think
is
wrong
or
inappropriate
for
our
board
meetings
at
this
time,
but
I
I
just
feel
it's
more
than
needs
to
be
in
policy.
We
already
operate
that
way.
I
think
policy
is
supposed
to
be.
V
S
We
do
have
a
script
that
the
president
reads
that
can
be
revised
and
updated.
We
heard
from
someone
tonight
who
has
concerns
that
we
only
have
comment
on
agenda
items
and
while
you
know
that
what
that's
been
a
decision
of
this
board
and
and
I
and
I
back
that,
I
don't
want
to
tie
the
hands
of
of
the
board
by
having
to
change
policy.
I
I
just
think
it's
more
than
as
needed
in
the
policy.
I
I
like
the
policy
that's
before
us
and
it
allows
us
to
still
do
those
things.
R
I
do
concur
with
me
with
miss
ellis
and
you
know.
Look
a
lot
of
governing
bodies
have
a
lot
of
rules,
and
but
there
is
a
difference
between
our
rules
that
we
post
here
and
we
publish
an
actual
policy.
R
We
had
to
change
how
we
did
our
public
comment
and
if
I
had
not
had
that
fluidity
of
that
language,
our
ability
to
correct
course
when
things
went,
awry
and
recall
public,
remember
until
midnight,
etc,
etc,
especially
when
covet
hit
had
I
had
that
our
policy
on
policy
would
not
have
been
flexible
enough
for
me
to
move
forward
without
an
actual
systemic
policy
change,
and
I
always
respect
our
willingness
and
wantedness.
R
We
have
handbooks
that
guide
us
and
a
presiding
officer
that
can
well
ensure
our
say
our
safeties,
because
sometimes
we
may
need
more
than
that,
and
I
know
we
have
expressed
more
than
what
is
in
there
from
time
to
time
when
we
are
facing
more
aggressive
agenda
items
or
or
a
lot
of
confrontation
expected.
So
I
appreciate
where
we're
going
with
it,
and
I
would
support
it
in
a
regulatory
handbook
environment
and
am
committed
to
the
board,
always
reviewing
those
things
and
affirming
them
like
we
did
when
we
needed
to
make
those
changes.
R
We
made
them
as
a
decision
of
the
board
and
we've
made
probably
two
or
three
corrective.
You
know
adjustments
as
we
have
needed
to
staging
up
and
staging
down
just
in
the
last
several
months.
So
I
greatly
appreciate
that
and
I'm
very
committed
to
every
single
word
that
was
stated
in
the
proposed
amendment,
but
do
share
the
concern
of
the
details
in
our
policy.
D
I
don't
see
I
mean
I
I
I
thank
you
both
for
your
comments
on
this.
I
don't
see
a
situation
where
we
would
ever
not.
We
would
ever
be
okay
with
personal
attacks,
obscene
and
profane
language,
threats
of
violence,
etc,
or
deviating
from
you
know
what
what
people
signed
up
to
speak
on.
D
So
that's
why
I
put
this
forward.
It
aligns
with
what
we
read
every
time.
D
Our
handbook
is
three
and
a
half
years
plus
out
of
date,
still
talks
about
the
2018
election.
So
it
doesn't
really.
You
know,
I'm
just
throwing
it
out
there.
It
might
be
a
while.
So
that's
why
I
put
this
forward,
because
this
is
what
a
reasonable
person
would
would
want
to
expect
out
of
public
comment
if
you're
sitting
on
this
side
of
the
diocese.
U
Yes,
so
I
just
want
to
ask
michelle:
I
have
one
question:
the
clucks.
The
crux
of
what
you're
saying
in
your
emotion
is
really
his
to
me:
hedges
on
that
the
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
and
charlie
six
or
six
position
on
a
position
on
the
c6.
U
The
comments,
the
one
sentence
before
and
after
is
as
I
look
at
it
is
what's
read
by
the
president
at
each
one
of
the
meetings.
So-
and
this
is
really
a
comment
to
you-
is
that,
are
you
open
to
modifying
the
motion
that
it
speaks
to
the
civility
of
c6,
because
I
think
that's
where
you're
really
hinging
on
what's
causing,
because
as
it
stands
right
now,
it
says
that
public
members
will
remain
civil,
and
so
that
could
mean
a
lot
to
a
lot
of
people.
U
But
you
kind
of
spelled
out
what
that
means
to
you
and
how
and
and
kind
of
defined
it
and
my
president,
I'm
not
against.
Unless
there's
some
some
large
reason
on
why
we
can't
do
it
on
why
we
can't
spill
out.
What
does
it
mean
to
be
civil?
I
have
been
here
for
a
little
over
nine
months
now
and
I've
seen
everything
from
having
to
have
the
police
here
to
having
to
have
protection
to
individuals
fearing
for
their
lives,
from
intimidation
by
the
public
comments
of
what's
going
to
happen.
U
So
I
do
think
there's
some
definition
to
what
civil
means
may
need
to
be
out
there
to
the
public,
and
I
don't
think
the
time
to
read.
It
is
when
they
get
here
and
possibly
listen
to
your
comment.
So
I
would
ask,
before
we
vote
on
the
motion
tonight,
to
allow
me
and
miss
ortiz
and
the
attorney
to
get
together
and
bring
back
to
you
a
language
that
won't
will
make
sense,
but
at
the
same
time
reach
the
greater
need
of
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
in
this
policy.
D
Want
to
respond,
this
has
been
through
two
lawyers
and
they're,
both
in
this
room
tonight.
This
has
been
through
ms
ortiz
and
mr
burns,
so
this
has
been
well
well
thought
through
by
by
two
two
of
our
council,
who
who
we
rely
on
regularly.
U
It
has,
but
my
comment
isn't
for
the
full
motion.
My
comment
is
that
when
you're
writing
a
policy,
I
think
the
comments,
the
sentences,
three
sentences,
I
think
the
sentence
one
and
three
is
pretty
stated.
It's
pretty
obvious.
I
think
that
the
comment
two
is
the
bulk
of
what
we're
trying
to
get
to,
and
so
I'm
simply
asking
tomorrow
to
amend
the
motion
that
we
work
on
sentence
two,
as
opposed
to
keep
the
whole
motion
in
place.
D
We
could
talk
about
it
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
then
you
know
if
we
just
have
to
adhere
to
our
policy
on
policy
making
and
if
there
was
substantial
substantive,
that's
the
word
I'm
looking
for
changes
on
third
reader.
It
would
just
go
back
up
for
public
comment.
I
want
to
get
it
right.
I
don't
necessarily
want
to
do
it
fast,
I'm
fine
with
that.
You
know.
If
that's
the
will
of
the
board,
I
just
I
want
I
want
us
to.
B
Okay,
I
see
another
couple
of
lights.
Let
me
just
suggest
sort
of
reframe
what
I'm
hearing,
which
is
possibly
maybe
vote
on
this
amendment
tonight,
see
how
it
goes
and
then
what
I
I'm
hearing
you
suggest
mitch
alheim
is.
If,
if
the
amendment
were
not
to
succeed,
somebody
could
bring
another
amendment
on
the
third
reader
right.
B
R
For
a
second
of
clarification,
I
I
thought
the
way
miss
dent
had
framed.
It
was
a
proposal
to
hold
the
amendment
and
I
seconded
it.
So
if
that
is
the
case,
that
would
need
to
be
disposed
of
for
any
vote
on
ms
scholheim's
prime
amendment.
D
D
R
V
R
G
S
B
All
right,
so
we
will.
We
can
move
on
to
the
next
item
if
I'm
correct,
so
that
takes
us
to
item
7.04
board
evaluation
code,
bi.
W
So
yes,
policy,
bi,
board
evaluation
is
also
before
you
on
second
reading.
This
two
was
on
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
I
did
not
receive
any
public
comments,
don't
know
if
I
mentioned
this
in
the
previous
policy,
but
this
was
also
a
board
requested,
a
board
member
requested,
a
policy
revision,
and
so
specifically,
the
revisions
were
to
align
with
recommendations
from
the
gibson
performance
audit
to
the
board
on
about
on
self-evaluation
and
also
nsba
best
practices.
R
I'll
defer
questions,
and
after
that
I
do
have
a
motion
and
the
language
should
be
before
the
members.
Okay,
when
the
time
is
right.
D
Yeah
I
just
I
have
a
question
about.
I
don't
sit
on
policy
committee.
D
W
So
this
was
a
request
for
miss
corketa,
along
with
a
policy
bcb
public
comment
and
the
specific
requests
which
I
believe
I
shared
on
first
reading,
and
I
shared
just
now
and
with
the
policy
committee
was
to
update
this
policy
to
encompass
recommendations
by
the
gibson
performance
audit,
as
well
as
nsba
best
practices.
W
There
was
some
commentary
in
the
performance
audit
which
specifically
called
out
this
policy
that
it
you
know
it
had
not
been
followed
in
at
least
a
couple
of
years,
and
so
based
on
that
guidance,
I
made
revisions,
and
so
it
was
brought
to
the
policy
committee
two
times.
W
It
was
a
little
bit
more
prescriptive.
The
way
it
was
originally
drafted
in
accordance
with
the
guidance
that
I
received
from
the
performance,
audit
and
nsba
best
practices.
So
the
policy
committee
asked
me
to
go
back
and
make
it
a
little
bit
less
prescriptive,
and
so
I
did
that,
and
so,
after
a
second
meeting
reviewing
the
policy,
it
was
voted
out
of
policy
committee
to
come
before
the
full
board.
R
Thank
you,
there's
several
components
of
this
amendment.
R
I'm
going
to
read
into
public
record
that
I
would
strongly
encourage
members
to
pull
up
the
draft,
and
you
will
see
that
I
have
already
annotated
and
read
those
proposed
changes
to
the
specific
section
and
that
it
is
in
all
caps
is
additions
being
recommended,
and
that
which
has
been
struck
out
are
items
that
I
am
proposing
moving
and
so
I'm
going
to
read
it
and
then
I'm
going
to
explain
the
three
sections
and
why
and
then
open
it
up
to
comments
provided
it
has
a
second.
R
I
want
to
make
a
comment
that
miss
frank
and
I
had
worked
on
this,
and
it
is
unfortunate
that
she
is
unable
to
join
us,
but
this
is
a
culmination
of
her
and
I's
effort,
as
well
as
feedback,
of
course,
from
staff
and
and
legal
is
appropriate,
and
so
the
first
proposed
change
is
as
part
of
the
amendment
is
the
title
we,
the
board,
conducts
other
types
of
evaluations,
and
I
thought
that
it
would
be
more
evident
and
clear
as
to
what
we're
referring
to
here.
R
We
evaluate
the
superintendent.
We
have
other
evaluations
that
we
conduct,
and
so
self-evaluation
is
what
we
are
doing
in
this
in
every
aspect
of
it.
So
I
am
proposing
adding
that,
as
part
in
section,
c2
is
a
little
bit
of
language
cleanup
to
better
support
the
set
more
substantive
revisions
made
in
sections
three
and
four,
as
well
as
to
clarify
and
sort
of
clean
up
that
idea
of
and
retreat
a
little
more
and
thank
you
for
some
of
the
suggestions
brought
forth
and
so
section
c
two
should
now
read.
R
I'm
proposing
would
now
read
in
conjunction
with
its
annual
retreat.
The
board
shall
conduct
a
self-evaluation
annually
at
a
time
designated
by
the
board
president
and
discuss
strategies
to
improve
its
effectiveness
and
monitor
its
progress
under
section
c3.
This
it
shall
re
I
am
proposing.
It
shall
read
the
specific
form
of
the
self-evaluation
instrument,
including
criteria,
subjects
of
evaluation
and
process
shall
be
reviewed
annually
and
determined
by
the
full
board
prior
to
its
annual
retreat
and
in
section
four.
R
Second,
okay,
just
real
quick,
as
I
said,
the
the
title
of
course
was
just
sort
of
something
I
thought
would
better
be
reflective
the
language
in
two
three
and
four
is
really
a
combination
to
just
better
reflect
number
one
is
to
make
it
our
ownership.
R
I
I
understand
you
know
a
big
part
of
wanting
to
put
some
of
the
details
in
is
making
sure
that
we're
accountable,
but
the
first
part
of
the
accountability
has
to
be
with
our
us
actually
doing
it
and
following
follow
throughing
with
it,
so
making
that
a
little
bolder
was
the
first
part
and
then
second
to
that
was
to
replace
some
of
the
specifics
so
that
we
can
actually
year
to
year,
identify
based
on
our
annual
priorities
that
we're
supposed
to
have
not
just
the
budget
ones
and
based
on
our
responsibilities
so
that
we
can
agility,
agilely
and
well
improve
ourselves
and
I'll.
R
Just
say
that
you
know
none
of
what
was
worded
is
wrong,
and
none
of
what
was
worded
is
anything
that
I
am
opposed
to
committing
to.
But
I
also
know
that
this
board
has
not
actually,
as
a
group
identified,
how
we
want
to
evaluate
ourselves.
Yet
with
our
new
board
and
our
transition,
we
have
not
identified
our
priorities.
R
Those
are
referring
to
the
annuals,
not
our
strategic
goals,
of
course,
that
that
goes
without
saying
and
then
lastly
identify
what
those
top
four
or
five
things
are,
and
we
know
from
doing
other
set
evaluations
of
the
superintendent
and
of
our
staff
that
that
changes
from
year
to
year
it
absolutely
changes
from
year
to
year.
R
I've
not
had
we've
had
a
couple
carryovers
and
to
put
it
in
policy,
I
think,
does
not
align
with
how
we
tend
to
want
to
do
that,
of
course,
in
board
policies
we
do
get
a
little
more
specific,
but
I
think
the
handbook
could
identify
any
processes
or
anything
further
that
the
board
may
want
to,
but
to
be
clear
once
the
board
makes
those
decisions
they're
just
as
rock
solid
as
they
are
anything
else.
When
this
board
makes
a
decision,
it
doesn't
need
it
to
be
written
in
policy.
R
That
decision
must
be
carried
through
until
time
that
the
board
has
otherwise
discharged.
So
that
was
the
intent.
Miss
frank
came
in
both
of
us
make
comments.
Similarly,
maybe
for
different
reasons
from
different
experiences
and
so
her
you
know
her
her
draft
amendment
language
was
very,
very
similar
to
mine,
so
we
combined
the
efforts
and
I'll
just
lastly,
point
out
that
you
know,
since
gibson
has
recommended
and
nsba's
best
practices
have
not
that
they
are
aged
in
their
advice,
but
that
occurred.
R
You
know
some
of
those
occursions
are
prior
to
our
adoption
of
our
equity
policy,
and
so
in
accordance
with
that
that
language
was
not
found
previously.
B
Okay,
ms
ellis.
S
Thank
you.
I
do
sit
on
the
policy
committee.
I
did
sit
in
on
those
discussions
and
was
happy
to
move
this
policy
forward
to
the
board,
but
this
is
why
we
do
this,
as
ms
ortiz
did
mention,
the
policy
in
its
in
its
original
form
that
we
first
discussed
did
evolve,
because
there
were
concerns
about
how
prescriptive
it
is
and-
and
while
I
shared
some
of
those
concerns,
I
I
do
feel
like
this
proposed
language
and
the
amendment
kind
of
further
captures.
S
What
what
I
I
really
feel
like
we
were
trying
to
get
at,
because
when
we
have
this
list
a
b
and
c
of
of
what
it
is
we're
going
to
be
evaluating,
we
could
be
missing
things
and-
and
you
know
perhaps
you
know
a
year
when
we're
unlikely
to
have
new
members,
then
onboarding
of
new
members
doesn't
need.
S
Of
course
we
always
have
a
new
student
member,
but
but
it
doesn't
mean
we
need
to
re
revisit
that
every
year
and
it's
just,
we
could
have
other
priorities
that
are
very
important,
so
I
think
this
language
doesn't
negate
anything
that
was
in
the
policy
that
was
brought
to
the
board,
but
it
further
enhances
what
the
policy
is
trying
to
do.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
ms
omisori.
B
C
I
was
waiting
for
this
meeting
to
heal,
hear
miss
corkino's
comments
on
the
omissions
for
the
policy
c4,
and
I
guess
a
little
bit
of
where
my
confusion
kind
of
comes
from
is
when
we
talk
about
how
it
might
come
off
as
prescriptive
to
keep
the
sub
points
a
b
and
c
that
portion
that
says
shall
at
a
minimum.
You
know
that
doesn't
force
us
to
stay
onto
these
sub
points.
C
That
just
says
these
are
things
to
talk
about,
at
least
when
we
do
our
evaluations,
and
so
when
you
spoke
about
kind
of
feeling
constricted,
or
at
least
that's
how
I
kind
of
perceived
it
that
confused
me,
because
this
isn't
at
a
max.
This
is
at
a
minimum.
C
This
is
something
that
you
just
cover
and
going
on
forward
other
things
that
you
think
are
under
the
umbrella
of
educational
equity
that
we
as
a
board
need
to
be
looking
at
when
we
self-evaluate
and
so
coming
into
this
meeting,
I
was
kind
of
50
50
on
my
sport.
I'm
still
waiting
to
hear
other
comments
that
may
come
tonight,
because
I
feel
as
though
to
omit
this.
C
I'm
I'm
not
sure
that
I
see
the
purpose
and
I'm
not
sure
that
I
agree
that
this
is
going
in
the
direction
of
what
gibson
wants
us
to
do
when
we
self-evaluate,
because-
and
if
that
section
at
a
minimum,
wasn't
there,
then
I
would
understand
what
you
meant,
but
because
it
is
there
that
kind
of
covers
in
my
eyes
the
concern
that
was
brought
up
tonight.
D
So
I
want
to
first
thank
miss
frank
who
isn't
here
in
this
cork
adele,
who
is
for
taking
the
time
to
try
to
walk
me
through
this
offline.
You
know
that
was
kind
and
because
I
was
confused
and
I
don't
come
at
this
there's
no
mouse
or
gender
or
anything
like
that.
I
just
think
there's
just
a
difference
in
philosophy
of
where
we,
where
we
sit
on
on
on
this.
D
I
I
for
me
and
this
again
this
is
my
own
opinion.
I
think
that
we
should
have
this
list
think
think
that
it's
it's
important
for
accountability,
for
transparency
gives
a
little
bit
of
a
skeleton
on
which
to
build
from
that.
To
me,
that's
just
that's
just
my
philosophy
on
this
and
it's
likely
to
differ
from
some
members
up
here
and
that's
that's
fine!
That's
why
we
have
these
conversations
and
that's
why
we
have
these
discussions.
D
So
I'm
I'm
not
I'm
not
I'm
not
as
I'm
just
not
supportive
of
it.
Because
of
that,
because
we
just
see
things
just
differently
and
neither
one
is
wrong.
It's
just.
We
just
have
a
difference
of
opinion.
D
So,
that's
why
I
I
would
rather
put
chao
at
a
minimum
and
and
give
some
some
meat,
as
opposed
to
being
so
unspecific
that
if
a
member
of
the
public
were
looking
for
this
online
or
or
the
next
iteration
of
the
board
year
2024
when
we
might
have
a
completely
new
board
and
no
institutional
knowledge
at
all
like
what
what
it
is
that
we
meant
at
this
moment
you
know
or
so
that's
why
I'm
not
going
to
be
supportive
of
it.
D
But
again
it's
not
it's
just
a
difference
of
opinion,
and
I'm
really
grateful
for
for
the
time
of
my
colleagues
in
helping
me
understand
their
point
of
view.
Thanks.
B
Thank
you,
okay,
ms
ellis,
you
have
a
light
on.
Is
that
an
old
light.
S
I
just
a
couple
things
want
to
remind
my
colleagues
that
there's
only
so
much
time
in
a
day
and
if
we
have
other
priorities
and
but
we
shall
at
a
minimum
cover
these
things,
we
could
have
missed
opportunities.
I
think
if
it
said
something
like
such
as,
instead
of
shall
at
a
minimum,
it
could
give
recommendations
for
a
board
that
might
not
know
what
they're
supposed
to
be
looking
at
I'd
be
comfortable
with
that,
but
I'm
not
comfortable
with
the
prescriptive
language
without
some
type
of
change
like
that.
B
B
Yes,
I
figured
I
saw
your
light,
so
I
I
just
want
to
say,
while
I
I
I
think,
all
the
opinions
that
have
been
expressed
have
merit
here
again
to
the
point
made
earlier.
I'm
I'm.
B
We
did
discuss
it.
The
policy
that
came
before
the
board
and
before
the
public
was
obviously
what
came
out
of
that
discussion
and
certainly
what
we
provided
was
less
prescriptive
than
initially
had
been
brought.
But
as
I've
thought
about
this,
I
do
think
there's
value
in
this
change
and
I
have
to
say
my
own
feeling
is
based
on
on
the
following.
B
This
is
a
particular.
This
is
a
particular
kind
of
policy
in
that
it
is
explicitly
about
and
for
the
board
and
as
such,
I'm
always
very
concerned
that
we
retain
as
a
board
the
understanding
that
we
govern
ourselves,
there's
no
magic,
something.
That's
going
to
appear
out
of
the
clouds
to
tell
us
what
to
do.
B
In
my
view,
that's
not
what
governing
bodies
are
meant
to
do.
We
have
to
live
up
to
the
principle
of
this
policy.
That's
our
job.
We
are
not
supposed
to
just
check
things
and
I'm
not
saying
that
is
what
we
will
do,
but
I'm
saying
that
the
way
a
policy
like
this
is
written
is
important.
It's
a
reminder
of
what
governing
frankly
means
we
have
to
figure
it
out.
B
R
If
there's
no
further
comments
of
colleagues
I'll
just
make
a
couple
closing
remarks
and
hopefully
maybe
address
a
concern
or
two
that
was
raised
along
the
way-
and
I
I
am
a
big
fan
of
self-government
of
self-evaluation,
I
I
do
it
myself
as
as
an
independent
business
person,
and
I
have
actually
been
looking
forward
to
since
I've.
I've
come
on
board
to
the
time
where
we
have
all
transitioned
in
and
can
decide
as
a
group.
R
What
we
want
to
evaluate
ourselves
on
and
I'll
just
remind
everyone.
We
have,
I
mean
we're
an
education
industry,
and
so
I
think
we
have
a
pretty
good
standard
and
good
examples
already
out
there,
and
one
thing
that
I
learned
for
as
much
as
I
I
have
experienced
in
evaluation
is
just
in
the
superintendent's
evaluations,
for
example,
we
or
or
an
employee.
R
This
is
not
a
one
shot
out,
particularly
ones
concerning
us.
Does
policy
take
some
time
to
adjust
and
implement
absolutely,
but
perhaps
after
we
have
met
some
of
our
other
core
goals
administratively
and
as
a
board
to
improve
ourselves,
we
could
revisit
this
and
modify
this
language
to
better
reflect.
Lastly,
I'll
just
point
out
that
gibson
I
was
the
liaison
person
for
the
board.
R
R
I
will
point
out
and
further-
and
I
know
dr
tobin
knows
that
she
was
the
chair
at
the
time
when
we
had
those
discussions,
but
overall
gibson's
goal
was
to
give
us
that
guidance
and,
just
like,
we
received
some
guidance
recently
from
emergency
management.
R
N
B
Okay,
thank
you
so
that
concludes
our
policy.
W
And
just
as
a
reminder,
so
since
this
is
a
very
substantive
amendment
to
the
policy,
I
will
be
posting
it
online
for
another
public
comment
period
until
your
next
board
meeting,
which
is
in
accordance
with
the
policy
setting
policy,
and
we
will
push
out
all
of
that
information
via
social
media,
et
cetera
as
the
communications
office
always
does.
B
Okay.
So
moving
on
to
item
7.05
center
of
applied
technology,
north
educational
specifications,
dr
alano.
D
I
continue
as
always
to
be
a
gigantic
fan
of
our
cat
program,
north
and
south,
and
remain
in
awe
of
the
wonderful
opportunities
we
give
our
students
things
I
couldn't
have
dreamt
of.
If
I
tried
in
the
early
90s
going
through
high
school
because
they
did
not
exist
and
the
importance
we
are
giving
to
our
students
to
pursue
careers
that
make
them
happy
so
that
they
can
have
the
path
of
their
choosing
afterwards.
So
I
just
wanted
to
start
out
with
that.
D
I
am
thrilled
that
we're
providing
a
new
building
and
I'm
thrilled
that
we're.
Having
this
conversation,
I
of
course
want
to
serve
every
single
student.
I
know
that
that's
not
possible,
so
I
just
wanted
to
to
know
what.
D
If
you
could
just
briefly
outline
what
the
process
was
to
determine
the
instructional
space
that
we're
allotting
for
this,
for
this
building
and
sort
of
the,
why
behind
that,
so
that
myself,
as
a
super
uber
fan,
can
understand-
and
you
know
the
colleagues
and
folks
out
there,
so
it
was
a
very
long-winded
question.
I
apologize.
G
Well,
I
know
that
our
team
here
has
gone
out
to
many
career
technology
centers
throughout
the
state
and
evaluated
what
we're
doing
here
and
what
is
being
done
other
places,
and
with
that
I
think
they,
you
know,
came
up
with
the
programs,
the
space
allotment.
You
know,
based
on
what
they
had
seen.
D
Okay,
so,
for
example,
like
cosmetology
right
super
popular
course,
and
and
really
it
just
such
an
opportunity
for
our
students
to
avail
themselves
of
something
that
they
can
get
certified
for
at
a
much
lower
cost
during
high
school
than
they
would
say
if
they
pursued
that
that
career
after
after
graduation-
and
I
know,
for
example,
that
we
we
have-
you
know
more
than
100
and
I'm
not.
D
X
That
sure,
so,
the
that
we
currently
have
two
cosmetology
cohorts
that
exist
at
the
center
for
flight
technology
north
and
one
at
cat
south
and
the
plan
is
moving
forward,
is
to,
in
my
understanding
of
the
design
space
is
to
maximize
the
amount
of
students
that
we
can
have
in
those
spaces
in
the
new
building
as
well,
and
also
work
on
making
sure
that
we
retain
every
single
student
that
participates
in
the
program.
So
we
can
have
the
you
know
most
number
of
students
finish.
X
So
I
don't
know
if
I
exactly
answered
your
question,
but
we
are
working
always
to
make
sure
that
whatever
facilities
we
put
in
place
are
both
industry
standard
and
allow
our
students
to
safely
properly
execute
whatever
skill
they're
trying
to
do
in
their
classroom.
So
I
think
that
the
the
design
specs
that
they
have
created
have
met
what
our
at
least
our
current
program
is,
if
not
bigger,.
P
And
I
would
add,
there's
there's
a
limiting
factor
in
having
so
many
programs
under
that
roof
right.
So
we
could
accommodate
all
200
people
that
want
to
be
part
of
I'm
making
that
up
cosmetology,
but
to
accommodate
them
means
space
where
we
may
be
giving
up
space
for
one
of
the
other
programs
right.
We
also
have
to
look
at
staffing
right
and
what
is
the
availability?
P
It's
not
the
it's
a
it's
a
very
unique
individual
that
can
come
in
and
work
with
our
students
in
these
professional
capacities
in
these
career
technical
programs.
P
Mr
rose,
the
principal
of
cat
north
is
here,
and
I
think
he
would
he
would
attest
to
that-
that
it
is
difficult
to
hire
in
any
of
our
programs
across
all
of
our
schools
in
almost
every
discipline
and
it's
two
or
three
times
that
much
more
difficult
in
the
cat
center.
So
it's
no
one
factor
that
limits
or
allows
us
to
build.
P
There
are
many
factors
that
that
we
looked
at,
that
this
team
looked
at
and,
as
you
well
know,
the
the
the
the
basic
concept
of
this
has
been
out
there,
and
this
team
has
been
working
on
it
for
years,
and
so
it
has
given
us
time
to
go
out
as
miss
seaman
crawford
mentioned
and
go
out
and
look
at
existing
centers,
the
new
center
down
in
somerset
county,
and
they
just
built
a
brand
new
center.
P
They
went
out
and
looked
at
the
thomas
edison
center
in
in
montgomery
county,
as
well
as
a
number
of
others,
frederick
and
others
to
get
some
ideas
not
only
about
the
programming
but
about
the
space,
the
materials
to
build
the
building,
and
I
think
I
think
this
team
will
certainly
come
up
with
a
unique
design.
But
I
just
want
to
make
it
really
clear
that
it's
there
are
a
number
of
factors
that
have
to
go
into
whether
it's
staffing
safety
is
another
one.
P
You
can
only
have
safely
a
certain
number
of
students
in
weld
in
a
welding
program
to
make
sure
that
teacher
can
keep
those
students
safe.
You
just
can't
keep
adding
welding
bays.
You
have
to
have,
I
think,
it's
12
or
15,
and
there
is
a
limit
to
it
whatever
that
is,
and
so
there
are
a
number
of
factors
which
I'm
glad
the
team
certainly
can
talk
more
about
in
mr
rose
if
necessary,
but
I
think
it's
important
for
you
and
the
public
to
understand.
P
There
are
many
factors
that
this
team
has
been
reviewing
over
the
years
as
well
as
looking
at
what
are
the
new
programs
that
we
want
to
offer
what's
up
and
coming
what's
the
state
supporting?
P
D
I
very
very
much
appreciate
that
and
don't
get
me
wrong.
I
I
I'm
going
to
vote
yes
in
case.
That
was
any
sort
of
concern.
D
D
So
if
we're,
you
know
knowing
our
constraints
and
if
we're
confined
and
and
this
is
this
is
the
max
we
can-
and
I
know
that
the
max
what
we're
doing
is
I,
as
far
as
I
understand,
is
also
the
largest
building
of
its
type
in
the
state.
Is
that
an
accurate
statement?
That's
what
I've
been
told
that
another
way,
maybe
we
can
reach
more
kids.
You
know-
and
this
is
of
course,
a
staffing
issue
and
a
funding
issue,
but
you
know
we.
D
We
currently
have
two
two
cohorts
a
morning
and
an
afternoon,
maybe
down
the
line.
Maybe
there's
a
twilight
one,
maybe
there's
an
evening
sort
of
program
and
for
those
for
their
cat,
north
and
south,
just
just
and
tonight
just
an
idea
just
to
throw
it
into
the
universe.
Of
course,
I'm
going
to
support
this,
and
just
it's
it's
just
it
just
sounds
magical.
I
can't
wait
to
tour
it
someday
and
I
can't
wait
to
vote
on
the
next
iteration
of
of
this
project
and
I'm
grateful
for
all
of
your
work.
D
P
Said,
as
does
so
thank
you
for
the
question,
as
does
this
team,
and
certainly,
as
does
mr
rose
and
and
his
dedicated
staff,
know,
that
afternoons
are
busy
at
the
cat
at
cat
north
with
the
ninth
grade
programs,
as
we
bring
our
ninth
graders
back
and
forth,
and
also
the
evenings
that
building
is
busy
until
probably
ten
o'clock
at
night,
if
not
later,
where
the
trades
are
going
in
and
doing
work
in
there
and
getting
their
own
certifications
and
that's
part
of
the
business
partnership
that
has
been
built
with
the
team.
P
With
with
the
various
business
partners
who
come
in
and
utilize
the
space
as
well.
Wonderful.
D
B
I
see
no
other
lights
I'll.
Just
take
a
moment
of
privilege.
I
was
thrilled
to
read
this.
It
was
great
to
have
time
on
the
airplane
from
san
diego
to
go
through
the
entire
report.
It
is
exciting.
I
I,
as
miss
scholheim,
has
said
I.
B
I
think
it's
put
us
ahead
of
the
game
with
regard
to
blueprint
and
a
number
of
other
things
that
we
need,
but
it
is
extraordinary
education
that
the
young
people
who
attend
these
programs
are
receiving,
and
I
think
this
is
a
design
that
will
from
everything
I
can
tell
beautifully
support
that
work
and
clearly
an
incredible
amount
of
thought
has
gone
into
it,
and
I
will
also
say,
with
regard
to
dr
alato's
comments
about
the
the
folks
who
do
the
teaching
in
our
cap
programs.
B
So
I
think
it's
extraordinary
that
we
do
it
at
the
volume
that
we
do
and
we
do
it
as
well
as
we
do,
and
so
I
just
couldn't
be
more
proud
and
I'm
delighted
to
see
this
now
moving
into
this,
this
next
phase
and
a
shout
out
to
the
principal
in
cat
north.
My
family
is
now
spoiled
because
I
toured
cat
north
just
before
christmas
and
they
got
cheesecake
for
their
christmas
dessert
now
they
think
they're
getting
it
every
year,
so
so
anyway.
So
thank
you
all.
B
B
My
people-
yes,
okay,
do
I
have
a
motion.
Oh
we'd
already
went
through
that:
okay,
miss
howell.
V
R
V
B
P
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
I
recommend
moving
the
system-wide
closure
date
for
primary
election
day,
as
noted
on
the
2021-2022
school
calendar
year,
calendar
from
june
28
2020
to
july
19,
2022,
I'm
sorry
2022
in
june
to
july
19
2022
and
returning
june
28
2022
to
a
normal
operating
operational
day.
R
So
only
one
tech
question,
and
that
is,
we
have
always
adopted
the
the
other
calendar.
The
other
half
of
dr
alado's
recommendation,
I
believe,
may
require
a
second
motion
because
it
involves
altering
the
22
20
23
calendar
and
I
therefore
recommend
they
get
taken
separately
because
we'll
be
in
the
new
school
year
in
july,
and
so
I'm
wondering
if
we
need
to
do
that
because
we
adopted
them
separately
and
they
are
usually
altered
separately.
R
So
if
we
could
just
get
clarification-
and
if
so
I'm
happy
to
make
an
amendment
to
separate
the
two
or
s
or
maybe
we
could
just
three
motion
or
if
it's
okay,
it's
okay,
I
just.
P
If
you
give
me
one
second,
I
don't
believe
we
have
to
because
the
dates
are
on
the
2021-2022
calendar,
those
the
the
dates
of
july
are
on
that
calendar.
My
I
haven't
pulled
it
up
yet,
but
I
see
miscellaneous,
maybe
a
step
ahead
of
me.
Those
dates
do
exist
on
the
20-21-22
calendar
correct.
So
then
I
don't
think
we
have
to
move
it
forward
to
the
next
calendar.
I
think
we
can
adjust
it.
R
E
B
R
G
B
I
see
no
lights.
Okay.
Thank
you.
All
right.
Moving
on
to
item
8.02
piney
orchard
elementary
school
capacity,
dr
arlatta,
were
you
going
to
present
a
few.
P
Thoughts-
I
certainly
am
glad
to
absolutely
so.
This
is.
An
agenda
item
was
placed
on
this
evening's
agenda
by
members
of
the
board,
so
I
will
really
leave
it
to
them
to
carry
the
conversation
in
whatever
direction
you
also
choose.
But
before
that
begins,
let
me
just
provide
some
basic
background
information
so
that
we
are
all
on
the
same
page
as
we
move
this
conversation
forward.
P
C
P
P
To
accommodate
expected
enrollment
increases
next
year,
we
plan
to
install
another
eight
classroom
modular
building
that
will
also
have
restroom
facilities,
so
the
students
will
not
have
to
go
back
and
forth
to
the
main
building.
For
that
purpose,
the
playground
will
be
rearranged
to
accommodate
the
modular
classroom.
Building
purchase
orders
have
already
been
issued
for
the
modular
classrooms
and
the
accompanying
playground
adjustments.
P
We
are
also
adding
to
the
staff
at
the
school
plans,
call
for
seven
additional
teachers
and,
if
funded
in
this
board's,
current
budget
request
to
the
county
executive
county
council,
an
additional
assistant
principal
our
projections
next
year
call
for
only
two
grades,
kindergarten
and
fifth
to
be
above
target
ratios
for
class
size
and
those
will
each
be
over
by
one
or
two
students
through
the
new.
The
excuse
me,
the
food
and
nutrition
services
team
has
already
met
at
the
school
and
developed
sound
plans
to
accommodate
the
increased
number
of
students.
P
S
So
I
have
been
as
many
of
you
know,
and
I'm
sure
others
can
imagine
in
communication
with
many
people
from
the
community.
We've
all
received
emails
but,
of
course,
being
in
my
district.
I've
reached
out
to
try
to
work
with
community
members
on
their
concerns.
Dr
arlatto
can
attest.
I've
met
with
him
a
couple
of
times,
mr
chiknovich.
S
S
S
S
S
A
a
very
doable
solution
I
want
to
another
idea-
was
a
a
building
that
we're
using
for
professional
purposes
right
now
that
used
to
be
a
school
putting
kindergarten
there.
I
spoke
with
mr
czech
novice
about
that
and
it's
just
that
building
has
been
closed
to
students
for
so
long.
S
The
the
amount
of
work
that
would
go
into
bringing
that
building
up
to
code
just
isn't
going
to
be
doable
before
the
new
elementary
school
opens
is
what
I've
been
told.
S
So
I
want
again
to
thank
everyone
for
all
of
your
work,
particularly
the
very
dedicated
parents
in
the
arundel
cluster,
particularly
the
piney
orchard
parents.
So
I'm
here
I'm
here
to
support
you,
I'm
here
to
advocate
for
you.
So
a
couple
questions
dr
alato.
S
Another
idea
that
I
want
to
ask
about
like
is
this
possible?
If
not,
why
not
and
I'm
sorry
I
didn't
present
or
ask
you
about
this
sooner-
it
just
really
came
out
of
a
conversation
last
night,
which
is,
I
believe,
some
of
our
charter
schools
have
operate
in
less
traditional
type
school
buildings
more
like
what
would
you
know
the
type
of
construction
that
would
be
like
an
office
building
was
leasing
space
ever
explored
to
cover
a
couple
of
years.
S
You
know,
I
don't
know,
what's
over
in
piney,
piney
orchard
shopping
center
area,
but
I
I
know
that
businesses
are
using
less
space.
More
of
them
are
operating
virtually.
A
P
My
initial
reaction
is:
no
I'm
glad
to
explore
that
so,
and
I
may
note
because
your
question
is:
have
you
done
that
in
the
past?
The
answer
is
no:
we've
not
gone
out
to
leasing
agents
and
look
for
shopping
space.
You
know
empty
warehouses
that
then
we
could
use
for
school.
You
mentioned
charter
schools,
yes,
but
they
all
have
to
be
built
to
code,
so
whether
it's
a
traditional
school
or
charter
school.
P
If
we
move
students
to
another
space,
it
has
to
be
building
code
to
house
children,
and
so
you
would
still
have
to
put
out
to
bid
for
that
leasing
space.
We
just
couldn't
walk
in
give
somebody
a
check.
As
you
well
know,
that's
not
the
way
the
the
public
schools
entities
work
when
we
are
looking
to
lease
or
purchase,
and
so
we
would
put
out
to
bid
and
then
based
on
a
bid
and
a
decision
on
the
board.
P
Then
we
would
have
to
build
out
that
space
to
code
to
be
ready
to
accept
students.
P
P
S
Right
right,
no,
I
I
get
that.
I
understand
that
okay
and
then
a
couple
other
things,
I'm
going
to
ask
you
about
a
couple
things
that
are
particular
concerns
that
have
come
up.
We
heard
tonight
from
a
parent,
something
that
I've
been
hearing
designate
or
crossing
guards
being
pulled
before
all
the
schools
are
before
all
the
students
are
in
the
school,
because
it's
a
lengthy
process
getting
so
many
students
into
the
elementary
school
and
there's
those
cards
are
needed
at
another
school.
S
Can
we
get
knowing
that
we
have
students
out
there
walking
past
the
time
that
we
have
crossing
guards
there?
Can
we
get
designated
crossing
cards
for
piney
orchard?
I
mean
this
is
practically
like
two
schools.
This
is
going
to
be.
You
know
if
it's
over
160
capacity,
I
I'm.
I
would
like
to
ask
for
that.
P
Okay,
so
so
again,
so
that
everybody's,
clear
and
you
know
this
crossing
guards,
don't
work
for
us
crossing
guards
are
a
department
of
the
anne
arundel
county
police
department
and
we
work
with
them
so
one
we
are
already
working
with
them
because
we're
changing
school
hours
next
year,
so
the
crossing
guard
times
are
going
to
have
to
change
and
because
we
are
condensing
the
day,
we're
condensing
the
travel
time
in
the
morning
and
the
afternoon
with
the
new
school
hours.
P
P
We're
already
talking
about
crossing
guards
with
the
police
department
for
next
year
and
as
you
well
know,
and
and
and
the
gentleman
was
100
correct,
many
of
our
crossing
guards
because
of
the
window,
the
two
and
a
half
almost
two
and
a
half
hour
window
of
when
we
start
high
schools
and
finish
middle
schools,
that
crossing
guards
can
get
to
two
or
sometimes
three
sites
to
cross
children.
S
Okay,
something
I
was
not
aware
of
until
recently,
and
hopefully
someone
will
speak
up
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
my
understanding
is,
I
I
think
there
was
a
fundraiser
that
went
on
for
building
a
playground
there
and
there
were
bricks
that
were,
I
guess,
purchase
for
donation
to
the
to
the
project
and
now
that
that
playground
is
going
to
be
moved
and
parents
have
asked
me
what's
going
to
happen
with
that.
S
Do
you
know
I
mean,
are
they're
not
going
to
lose
that?
Are
they
they're
they're
memorial
to
to
that
project?
So.
P
I've
not
had
this
specific
conversation
with
my
team
and
I
will,
but
in
past
projects
we
have
never
lost
when
we
do
when
we
do
demolition
at
a
school
and
we're
rebuilding,
and
there
are
certain
landmarks.
The
school
wants
to
keep
we'll
typically
save
those
walls
artwork
those
kinds
of
things.
So
I
would
like
to
think
that
we'll
be
able
to
to
save
the
bricks.
Okay.
S
You
mentioned
adjusting
playground.
I
want
to
make
sure
there's
no
confusion
there,
because
I
have
heard
I
think.
Even
tonight
we
heard
someone
saying
removing
a
playground
removing
a
playground
right.
Not
removing
am
I
right
about
that?
Yes,
okay,
so
there
will
still
be
a
playground,
be
a
playground
absolutely
and
then
thank
you
for
mentioning
the
assistant
principal,
that's
a
big
one
that
I
keep
hearing
about.
I
guess
one
of
the
concerns
I
keep
hearing
about.
You
mentioned
seven
teachers,
but
there
there
are
specialists.
I
guess
language.
S
Thank
you.
That's
the
word.
I'm
looking
for
literacy
teachers,
special
education.
Are
you
anticipating
those
to
increase
when
we're
again,
I
and
I
don't
know,
but
I'm
told
that
those
are
at
the
levels
that
they
were
before
the
school
got
this
big.
So
are
we
increasing
those
so.
P
We
have
added
some
staff
this
year
as
a
result
of
the
increase
and
we'll
continue
to
add
staff
as
needed
and
also
as
available
one
of
the
things
I
didn't
mention
are
counselors.
Our
plan
is
to
add
a
counselor.
We
have
to
get
funded
right.
We
have
to
get
your
budget
funded,
but
our
plan
is
to
also
add
a
counselor,
so
yeah
we'll
look
at
all
the
positions
if
we
need
to
add
additional,
an
additional
member
or
two
to
the
food
and
service
team.
S
I'm
hearing
concerns
about
safety,
with
a
lack
of
or
asking
for
additional
emergency
exits
from
the
fenced
in
area.
P
Yes,
so
I
I'm
I'm
assuming
what
you
are
referring
to
is
when
we
put
modular
classrooms
portables
at
any
of
our
schools.
We
then
for
safety
reasons,
enclose
them
with
fencing
for
protection
of
the
students
and
the
staff
and
the
building
overall,
but
there
also
has
to
be
appropriate
egress
from
that
space.
You
can't
exit
the
main
building
into
a
fenced-in
area
and
then
not
be
able
to
get
outside
the
fenced-in
area
if
necessary,
and
so
that's
all
dictated
by
fire
code.
Okay,
and
so
we
will,
when
any
time
we
construct
those
fences.
P
Those
plans
are
approved
by
the
fire
marshal
and
then
inspected
by
the
fire
marshal.
So
if,
if
there's
a
single
or
two
exits
now,
I'm
sure
that
number
will
increase.
When
you
add
a
portable,
you
know
eight
additional
classrooms
and
x
number
of
students.
There
is
a
ratio
that
the
that
the
fire
department
uses
and
will
follow
their
guidance.
S
Have
a
couple
more,
you
know,
dr
tobin,
this
is,
I,
can
you
elaborate
at
all
on
what
is
being
proposed
for
to
alleviate
the
parking
situation?
S
P
We
don't
we'll
continue
to
work
with
dpw
the
county
and
the
police
department,
so
I
don't
I,
I
don't
have
a
plan
to
share
so
whether
it's
parking
immediately
on
the
site
or
changing
the
packing
restrictions
on
strawberry
way
lane
in
front
of
the
school
and
allowing
for
parking
along
that
route
to
to
add
parking
that
would
not
be
allowed
during
the
school
day
and
now
different
signage
and
and
the
and
the
county.
Allowing
us
to
do
that.
Those
are
possibilities
that
we
are
discussing.
S
Okay
and
then,
since
the
community
was
unable
for
again
understandable
reasons
to
to
come
together
on
the
best
most
creative
solution-
and
I
mentioned
some
of
those
earlier.
S
S
So
considering
we
have
a
school
at
160
over
that
next
year,
and
considering
that
you
know
our
policy,
our
goal
in
redistricting
is
to
balance
facilities.
We
always
want
balanced
facilities.
S
S
S
S
So
if
we
could
get
as
many
families
as
possible
to
spread
out
and
balance
those
facilities,
that
would
be
ideal.
I
think
the
two
barriers
are
the
current
90
percent
capacity
in
the
regulations
and
the
other
one
is
the
I
think
it's
may
1st
might
be
the
deadline
and
if
that
could
be
extended
a
little
bit
so
that
families
can
be
communicated
to
given
this
option
and
time
to
make
adjustments
and
make
a
decision
for
their
family.
I
think
that
would
be.
S
I
think
that
seems
to
be
the
solution
that
has
the
most
support
and
look
with
all
of
those
ideas
that
came
forward.
I
had
people
reach
out
to
me
personally
and
say
I
have
a
fifth
grader.
I
would
have
sent
my
kid
to
the
middle
school,
but
most
of
the
you
know
families
did
not
support
that.
I
have
a
kindergartener.
S
I
would
have
sent
them
to
another
school,
so
there's
definitely
going
to
be.
I
think,
volunteers,
because
there's
families
that
just
don't
want
their
children
going
to
school
in
that
situation
for
the
school
so
over
capacity,
so
I
I
would
ask,
can
we
can
you
please,
I
guess
wave,
that
portion
of
the
regulation
for
in
this
situation,
not
across
the
school
system,
so.
S
I
meant
I
told
I
would
ask
this
so
building
building
a
new
school
is
a
very
lengthy
process,
obviously,
and
there's
a
lot
of
steps
and
you
can't
you
can't
miss
any
steps,
but
I
know
that
these
families
are
also
reaching
out
and
letting
our
county
officials
know
that
this
is
a
dire
situation.
S
We're
talking
the
23
24
school
year
is
still
over
a
year
away.
Is
there
no
way
for
everyone
in
the
process
to
come
together
and
speed
that
up.
P
Not
that
we're
aware
of
so
we,
the
teams,
looked
at
it.
So
what
you're
asking
is,
and
I'm
going
to
use
my
words
if
we,
if
we
could
get
the
county
to
forward
fund
the
building,
could
we
do
it
in
a
year
and
the
answer
is
no.
We
could
not
build
the
building
properly
in
a
year.
G
P
You'll
have
we'll
have
to
pursue
first
the
funding,
and
then
I
don't
think
permitting
is
really
the
issue.
I
think
it's
actually
building
the
building.
That's
the
issue
right
you
just
because
you
have
the
money
doesn't
mean
you
can
build
it
faster,
necessarily.
B
Thank
you,
ms
scholheim.
D
So
my
heart
goes
out
to
piney
orchard
families
in
this.
In
the
situation,
I'm
very
much
empathetic
and
I
hear
you
I
get
all
your
emails,
even
if
I'm
too
busy
to
respond
know
that
they're
red
know
that
you're
heard
you
know
I
I
I
have
to
I'm
bound
to
back
board
decisions
when
they
occur.
I
think
you
know
which
decision
I'm
speaking
of
I
wasn't
personally
in
favor
of
that
decision,
and
this
is
the
reason
why
I
wasn't
in
favor
of
it.
D
That
being
said,
I'm
really
I'm
really
interested
and
supportive
of
the
ideas
and
the
commentary.
That's
come
out
of
this
discussion
tonight
presented
by
miss
ellis,
and
you
know
I
it's
not
my
decision,
it's
an
operational
decision,
but
if
it
was
my
decision
I
would
definitely
be
supportive
of
you
know,
looking
at
the
the
90
threshold
and
waving
that
and
and
moving
the
deadline
and
and
really
trying
to
give
some
relief
for
all
the
reasons
discussed
again,
not
my
lane,
but
just
my
personal
opinion.
I
would
be
supportive
of
that.
D
D
So
I
could
not
imagine
my
daughter's
school
being
that
big
and
and
my
daughter's
school
is
closed
and
is
likely
north
of
90
because
it
is
closed
and
and
to
get
in
and
out
of
that
school
on
a
good
day
is
hellacious.
D
I
will
do
I'll
be
supportive
in
any
way
that
I
can
in
my
capacity
as
a
board
member
which,
as
you
know,
there
are
lanes
operation
daily
corporations
is
not
my
lane,
nor
should
it
be
it's
the
superintendent's
lane,
but
you
know
if
you,
if
you
were
ever
to
ask
my
opinion,
if,
if
I
would
be
supportive
of
x,
y
or
z,
though
it's
not
my
lane,
of
course
I
would
say
well
yeah
you
know
we
should
we
should
look
at
whatever
we
can
and
think
outside
the
box
and
think
creatively,
because
I
just
couldn't
imagine-
and
I
appreciate
your
your
willingness
to
be
here
this
for
this
many
hours
and
and
wait
it
out
with
us.
D
What
till
we
get
to
the
sum,
so
we
got
to
this
agenda
item
so
I
mean
this.
This
was
why
I
could
have.
I
saw
this
train
coming
and,
and
here
we
are
and
I'm,
although
I
have
to
backboard
decision
I
this
was
my
concern
from
the
start.
So
thank
you.
R
After
after
we
did
our
last
redistricting
that
was
relevant
to
this
things,
have
changed
and
there's
a
housing
inventory
shortage
that
has
accelerated
some
of
the
newer
development
being
brought
online
and
some
other
things
that
that
simply
made
the
forecasting
as
good
as
it
is
not
able
to
well
capture
all
of
the
contingencies
and
externalities
that
we
have
since
faced.
R
That
being
said,
I
appreciate
ms
ellis
doing
her
due
diligence
in
many
of
these
matters,
and
I
have
been
to
piney
orchard
since
and
to
the
other
affected
schools.
And
yes,
we've
got
a
serious
problem.
R
So,
dr
elato,
I
know
from
time
to
time
our
cafeterias
are
able
to
set
up
additional
lanes
and
expresses
for
lunches
in
the
course
of
I
mean
we're
almost
through
the
course
of
this
school
year.
But
I'm
wondering
it
are
there
any
opportunities
based
on
the
facility
to
maybe
see
if
we
can
there's
something
we
haven't
missed
for
preparation
for
next
year
that
or
have
you
guys
gone
through
that
or
yes.
P
Ma'am
absolutely
we've
gone
through
it.
Ms
ritzy
and
her
team
have
visited
the
school.
They
they
know
the
school.
Well,
they
know
what
their
capabilities
are.
We
will
be
adding
two
for
lack
of
better
terms,
because
I
don't
have
a
technical
term
for
it.
Two
card
swipe
machines
that
will
expedite
because
we
will
be
having
to
enter
in
student
id
numbers
next
year.
It's
not
all
free
meals.
R
As
a
follow-up
to
that,
and
I'm
wondering
because
I
don't
want
to
dig
into
the
rigs
or
how
we
operate
or
anything,
but
I'm
just
wondering
for
those
who
have
health
conditions,
whether
it's
for
diabetes
or
other
similars,
if
maybe
we
could
try
to
find
a
way
to
get
them
to
the
front
of
the
line
or
similarly,
if
there's
a
health
condition
that
this
is
impacting,
I
mean
normally,
they
would.
The
parent
would
reach
out
and
you
guys
would
work
with
them.
R
But
I'm
just
wondering
under
the
circumstances-
and
we've
had
a
couple
unique
years
that
that
maybe
we
take
a
look
at
that.
Thank
you.
I
I
do
want
to
just
point
out.
I
think
we
do
have
in
policy
opportunities
if
it
does
make
sense
on
us
under
jab.
So
I
do
look
forward
to
hearing
some
of
the
outcomes
of
that,
because
there's
a
couple
different
approaches.
R
R
Schools
that
may
have
be
at
or
exceeding
capacity
in
our
regular
course
of
transfer
applications,
not
opening
up
or
doing
special
announcing,
but
I'm
just
wondering
if
we
could
maybe
be
a
little
flexible
for
for
those
families.
Maybe
a
couple
couple:
students
is
better
than
nothing
and
then.
Lastly,
this
is
more
for
our
board.
R
I'm
gonna
make
a
suggestion.
You
know
we
have
our
state
legislative
stuff
that
that
we
adopt
and
approve,
and
we
have
our
budget
sitting
out
there.
Crossing
guards
and
nurses
are
not
in
our
wheel
house
and
sros.
Those
are
the
three
big
things
that
are
in
our
schools,
our
actual
school
buildings,
that
we
don't
control
the
funding.
Nor
do
we
control
the
staffing
we
coordinate
very
very
closely.
We
have
awesome
relationships
and
and
have
done
outstanding
work.
Crossing
guards
has
always
been
one
of
those
things.
R
I've
I've
sat
next
to
our
security
guy
and
even
on
the
county
side,
advocating
to
try
to
find
better
ways
of
recruiting.
This
was
something
that
goes
well
before
covid,
but
I
think
maybe
us
as
a
board
in
this
particular
situation,
may
want
to
consider
taking
a
formal
position
on
the
crossing
guards
line
item
for
the
county
in
this
particular
and
just
like
we
do
with
other
legislation
and
budget
is
legislation
and
other
budget
initiatives
consider
submitting
a
formal
statement
of
of
the
ask
because
it
doesn't
have
to
be
piney
orchard.
R
I
I've
I,
I
can
think
off
the
top
of
my
head
of
a
couple
dozen
places
where
I
know
we
would
greatly
benefit
from
safety
security.
We
have
those
overlaps.
I
got
one
in
crofton
in
the
triangle
where
I
have
one
crossing
garden
shared
and
our
kids
stay
safe.
Our
community
well
supports
it,
and
I
always
encourage
that
that
it's
about
a
community,
but
dr
tobin,
I
don't
know
how
that
would
be
approached.
R
But
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
way
we
could
convey
that
prior
to
the
county
executive,
actually
finalizing
his
version
of
the
budget
and
we're
we're
on
short
order
here,
they're
going
to
be
making
their
adjustments
within
the
next
three
two
I'm
looking
over
at
alex,
maybe
three
to
ten
days
it'll,
go
in
front
of
the
planning
advisory
board
for,
on
the
capital
side,
any
adjustments
for
the
state
and
then
they're,
then
they're
kind
of
locked
in
those
last
couple
weeks
is
tweaking.
R
So
if
it
would,
if,
at
the
appropriate
time,
I'm
happy
to
make
a
motion
of
support
or
instruct,
although
it's
going
to
be
on
the
fly
and
take
me
a
minute,
but
just
seeing
some
of
these
things.
When
I
I
hear
safety,
I
want
to
jump
on
it
of
all
the
things
that
we're
working
towards
small
and
large
to
try
to
alleviate.
R
I
think
this
one's
timely,
so
I'll
defer
for
other
questions
and
members
and
at
the
appropriate.
B
N
N
I
have
a
couple
comments.
One
is
that,
as
a
school
teacher
and
an
advocate
for
many
years,
I
always
reached
out
to
the
teachers,
as
I
was
working
with
the
principal
to
the
teachers
when
we
had
issues
the
teachers
to
teach
our
kids,
because
they
always
come
up
with
help
ideas,
suggestions
and
guidance.
When
we
have
issues
like
this,
they
never
failed
me.
N
I'm
going
to
read
something
to
you
from
an
email
that
I
got
moving
a
grade
level
is
not
the
answer.
It
would
be
a
staffing
nightmare
overwhelm
another
school
use
up
all
of
their
resources
and
piney
would
still
be
stuck
with
the
same
issues.
Piney
orchard
just
needs
more
resources
to
handle
this
additional
influx
of
students.
While
I
appreciate
parents
being
concerned,
they
have
no
clue
what
it
is
like
on
a
daily
basis
and
don't
understand
the
challenges
that
come
with
moving
an
entire
grade
level.
N
N
U
Thank
you,
dr
charlotte.
My
concern
is
a
lot
to
do
with
overcrowding
in
itself
and
the
significant
issues
that
surrounding
overcrowding.
U
I
can
agree
that,
having
all
of
the
comments
that
I've
heard
this
evening
is
important,
I
just
don't
think
that
we
have
addressed
the
real
issue
that
I'm
concerned
about,
which
is
how
do
we
fix
the
overcrowding
I
got
it
that
it
occurred
because
of
the
redistricting,
no
fault
of
anything
we
are
where
we
are
right
now.
U
What
I
don't
see
is
even
when
we
address
or
put
more
portals
out
there,
that
it's
really
going
to
address
the
overcrowding.
I
certainly
don't
think
we
can
wait
until
2024,
maybe
being
in
the
construction
world,
is
a
little
bit
different.
You
never
know.
What's
going
to
happen,
the
predictability
is
2024..
U
That's
not
saying
that
that's
going
to
happen
in
2024,
let's
just
say
what
we
have
on
a
prediction
list.
Is
there
not
a
way
for
us
to
put
together
a
team
that
can
actually
do
a
100
overall
assessment
of
all
the
encompassing
problems
and
then
have
a
definitive
solution,
because
I
think
we're
band-aiding
it
the
way
we're
going
right
now.
U
That's
one,
the
second
one
is,
I
think,
that
all
of
the
families
at
piney
archit
that
we
can
have
a
town
hall,
that
we
can
actually
tell
them
what's
going
on
sit
down
with
all
of
them
and
explain
to
them
that
we
not
only
do
we
hear
them,
we
hear
the
teachers,
we
have
everyone.
That's
there,
there's
no
question
that
overcrowding
is
a
problem.
U
What's
a
bigger
problem,
for
me
is
that
the
overcrowding
is
not
going
to
go
away,
it's
going
to
continue,
and
so,
while
you
and
your
staff
is
going
to
continue
to
try
to
accommodate
it
needs
a
holistic
approach
to
it,
and
I
just
don't
feel
like
we've
addressed
that
right
now,
so
I
would
certainly
like
to
see
any
way
that
we
can
work
together
to
come
up
with
a
plan
and
then
present
it
to
the
families
and
the
the
faculty.
That's
there
at
piney
architect,.
G
P
Thank
you,
mrs
den,
so
we
are
band-aiding
it
to
use
your
term
because
that's
what
we're
left
with.
So
it
is
that's
what
we're
left
with.
We
are
a
public
school
system.
So
when
families
move
into
the
area
they
get
to
go
based
on
board
policy,
they
those
those
children,
get
to
go
to
their
neighborhood
school.
P
P
P
P
P
None
of
those
are
excuses
because,
to
your
point,
we
are
where
we
are.
We
have
all
these
students
so
now
we
need
to
do
our
level
best.
We
need
to
do
our
very
best
to
support
the
students
in
that
building
and
give
them
all
the
resources
that
they
need
and
the
staff
as
well,
so
that
that
we
can
have
a
quality
the
next
two
school
years
until
the
new
building
is
built.
It's
it's
we're
in
a
very,
very
unfortunate
situation
that
none
of
us
want
to
be.
S
I
do
two
two
quick
things
yeah.
I
heard
a
bit
about
that
history.
I
believe
that
school
was
offered
funded
at
that
time.
Correct.
P
Yes,
ma'am,
I
don't
have
the
details
for
me.
That
was
some
time
ago
and
I
was
with
the
system,
but
not
the
superintendent,
but
it
was
a
a
unique
third
party
project
in
which
the
developer
was
going
to
supply
the
land
and
build
the
building
for
us.
S
What's,
on
my
mind,
is
all
these
operational
concerns
and
and
just
how
to
best,
protect
our
students
and
have
them
have
a
healthy
school
day?
The
lunch
has
me
greatly
concerned.
First
of
all,
we
have
students
arriving
at
the
school
who
are
starting
eating
lunch.
I
think
less
than
half
an
hour
after
they
I
mean
less
than
an
hour
and
a
half
after
they
get
there.
And
you
know
eating
is
not
a
it's,
not
a
math
equation.
It's
it's!
It's
supposed
to
be.
S
You
know
when
your
body
needs
nourishment
that
has
me
concerned,
but
I'm
hearing
a
lot
of
concerns
about
how
little
time
students
have
to
eat.
S
D
Just
one
more
thing
about
staffing:
it's
not
just
you
know
it's
not
just
the
the
homeroom
teacher
who's,
also,
if
they're,
if
they're
departmentalizing,
it's
also
the
ela
or
the
math,
or
I
don't
know
if
they
are
not
at
that
particular
school.
But
it's
also,
you
know
it's
also
cultural
arts
and
media
and
all
the
things
that
bring
you
know
richness
to
the
school
day
and
I'm
I'm
I'm
not
sure.
D
If,
though,
if
those
staffing
levels
are
where
you
would
ideally
want
them
to
be,
given
the
enrollment
or
not,
but
just
just
look
at
that
too
and
again
my
heart,
my
heart
bleeds.
B
I'll
come
back
to
miss
corcodel,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
words.
Yes,
we
have
received
your
emails.
We've
heard
you
I
know
this
has
been,
is
incredibly
difficult
for
the
families
and
as
you've
heard
where
we
have
been,
and
we
continue
to
explore
every
avenue
that's
available
to
us,
but
given
the
history
we've
also
heard
here,
I
would
like
to
add:
ask
the
public,
who
may
still
be
listening
budgets
matter.
B
We
we,
we
have
families
come
and
advocate
before
us
for
things
like
the
piney
orchard
and
and
we're
grateful
that
you
do,
but
I
would
hope
that
families
also
understand
that
sometimes
it's
the
decisions
made
years
before
that
get
us
where
we
are
so.
I
said
when
we
passed
our
budget
this
year.
This
is
the
real
cost
of
education
and
I
hope
people
who
care
about
this
on
behalf
of
our
children.
All
of
our
children
understand
that
funding
education
is
one
of
the
most
critical
things
we
can
do.
B
D
B
B
R
Thank
you,
president
tobin.
I
just
sent
diane
the
language,
I'm
gonna
say
it
out
loud
and
I
actually
sent
you
two
and
then
I
caught
myself
in
a
tech,
air
edit
so
it'd
be
the
second
one
and
it's
very
simple
we're
gonna
get
into
the
weeds.
Hopefully
on
this
that
can
still.
We
still
got
14
minutes
to
end
this
on
a
on
a
10
pm.
C
R
Folks
that
I'm
determined
to
do
it
so
here
we
are,
I
move
that
the
board
of
education
formally
communicate
to
the
county,
executive
and
county
council
their
interest
and
support
for
all
currently
proposed
crossing
guards,
funding
and
request
additional
crossing
guard
fte,
slash
pte
positions
to
alleviate
the
ongoing
short
staffing
to
ensure
we
are
best
supporting
our
student
safety.
Further
that
the
president
work
with
the
superintendent
and
staff
to
develop
the
communications
details
and
promptly
deliver
it
to
the
county,
executive
and
county
council.
S
S
V
B
To
adjourn
yes,
let
me
just
alert
everyone
to
the
fact
that
the
next
board
meeting
will
be
wednesday
april
20th,
and
the
next
board
meeting
will
in
fact
be
a
noon
meeting
their
the
the
night
and
day
meetings
were
flipped.
For
this
month,
policy
committee
meeting
will
be
tuesday
may
3rd
equity
committee
will
be
tuesday.
May
10th
budget
committee
will
be
tuesday
april
19th,
and
with
that
I
see
consensus,
I
believe
for
adjournment
good
night.
Everyone.
