All
right,
madam
president,
we
will
have
presentation
from
our
chief
negotiator
on
this
item
and
at
the
conclusion
of
that
the
superintendent
recommends
approval
of
the
terms
of
employment
for
unit
one
employees
for
fy23,
so
we'll
pass
it
over.

Excuse

exclusive
use
of
esser
funds
through
august
31st
2024
an
mou
to
pay
a
total
not
to
exceed
fifteen
hundred
dollars
in
a

approved
by
the
maryland
state
department
of

as
a
stipend
to
special
educators
and
related
service
providers
over
a
two-year

and
then
finally,
that

will
not
exceed

I

You
miss
ross.
I
also
neglected
to
mention
just
before
this
on
another
matter,
just
as
a
point
of
clarification
on
today's
agenda,
because
we
had
received
some
questions
from
members
of
the
public
item.
5.03
is
the
virtual
day
instruction
plan
for
inclement
weather
days.
It
is
not
about
virtual
in
the
event
of
teacher
vacancies,
and
I
know
there
had
been
some
confusion
around
that.
So
thank
you.
C
C
The
board
asks
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
forum
and
in
light
of
some
previous
concerns,
let
me
add:
your
testimony
should
not
be
directed
at
particular
individuals.
It
should
be
directed
at
the
entire
board
as
all
our
decisions
are
made
as
a
collective
entity.
C
C
L
My
name
is
tony
strong,
crack
and
good
evening,
dr
bedell,
dr
tobin
and
the
board
so
not
sure
what
was
under
the
president's
or
the
superintendent's
agenda,
as
we
know
that
there
is
an
internet
divide,
a
digital
divide
and
not
all
people
can
access
the
internet.
So
my
first
issue
is
with
the
internet.
The
majority
of
the
correspondence
has
been
coming
via
internet.
There
are
a
lot
of
people
in
underserved
communities
who
have
not
been
able
to
access
that,
and
I
think
that
is
a
ongoing
problem
that
has
been
expressed
but
not
corrected.
L
The
second
thing
that
I
will
talk
about
is
the
transportation
issue,
and
I
talk
about
the
transportation
issue
as
the
owner
of
people
builders
consultant
and
advocate
for
our
communities.
I
have
been
getting
calls
like
you,
wouldn't
believe
on
things
that
you
may
not
have
foreseen
with
this
traffic
problem
because
it
just
didn't
start.
We
can
go
back
a
couple
of
years
ago
when
this
traffic,
this
transportation
problem
started,
but
now
it
has
exasperated
throughout
our
nation,
but
I'm
talking
about
our
county.
L
First
of
all,
we
have
the
most
at
risk:
underserved
communities,
without
buses
with
parents
who
don't
have
means
to
get
their
kids
to
school.
Whether
you
know
it
or
not.
Phoenix
center
has
no
kids
because
they're
not
coming
to
school,
because
they
don't
have
a
way
and
they
don't
have
means
the
parents
who
do
have
means
are
using
their
rent
money
and
are
using
other
bill
money
which
is
going
to
cause
other
unforeseen
issues
with
now
being
possibly
evicted,
because
they
don't
have
the
money
we
have
students
standing
up
on
buses.
L
We
have
students
sitting
on
floor
on
buses
and
another
thing
that
you
did
was
you
had
people
sign
up
to
ride
buses?
The
last
I
checked.
The
policy
says
that
anybody
that's
wanted
within
a
certain
jurisdiction
of
school
have
a
right
to
ride
the
buses.
We
had
a
sign
up
for
buses,
but
we
didn't
think
through
enough
to
hey.
Now.
We
need
a
roster
for
the
bus
drivers
to
know
who
signed
up
for
the
buses
to
be
able
to
ride
so,
therefore
causing
increased
overcrowding.
C
Thank
you,
ms
pratt.
Don't
go
far
item
4.02
ms
pratt,
ms
lisa
van
buskirk
and
miss
julie,
hummer.
L
So
I'm
tony
strong
pride
again
and
I
will
continue
with
talking
about
transportation
issues.
Just
like
a
hurricane
or
tornado,
we
put
things
in
place
beforehand,
unforeseen
issues.
There
are
so
many
unforeseen
issues
that
when
we
had
the
talk
about
school
openings,
as
everybody
said
well,
the
data
says
well,
data
doesn't
tell
the
whole
story,
nobody
went
to
any
communities
or
anybody
to
say
how
is
this
going
to
affect
you?
What
is
this
going
to
cause?
We
have
people
here.
L
That's
representing
these
issues
that
I'm
talking
about
a
lot
of
them
couldn't
get
off
from
work.
A
lot
of
them
are
taking
time
off
from
work,
and
some
of
them
had
gotten
fired,
because
now
they
have
to
take
their
kids
to
school,
because
guess
what
the
kids
who
are
in
high
school
are
now
not
the
ones
who
can
get
them
on
the
buses
or
get
them
off
the
bus.
L
Well,
now,
not
only
do
we
have
to
look
at
that,
but
now
the
the
the
time
is
going
to
change
it's
going
to
be
dark
when
some
of
these
elementary
school
kids
have
to
get
on
a
bus.
Now,
god
forbid,
the
parents
can't
take
off
again
so
we're
going
to
have
kenny
gardner
standing
at
a
bus
stop
when
we
have
predators,
we
have
violence
in
our
city.
What
are
we
going
to
do
so?
I
sit
here
upset
because
we
have
been
reactionary
for
too
long
it's
about
being
proactive
before
we
put
things
in
place.
L
L
I
would
suggest
board
that
when
we
put
task
force
together
and
when
we're
listening
to
people
that
this
are
gun
is
going
to
affect,
that
we
go
to
the
communities
that
are
going
to
be
affected
and
have
those
people
at
the
table,
because
everybody
can't
tell
my
story
like
I:
can
everybody
can't
tell
their
story
like
they
can
so
to
be
fair,
we
need
to
be
fair
and
start
to
be
proactive
and
not
reactionary.
Thank
you.
N
M
Elementary
bus
stops
and
routes
to
address
the
board's
intentions
to
not
have
students
at
bus
stops
before
civil
dawn
acps
could
meet
the
first
tier
recognition
acps
would
be
the
first
school
system
to
achieve
either
recognition
level
in
our
state.
For
the
first
time
since
the
software
was
purchased
in
august
of
2015,
with
the
help
of
prismatic
services,
the
transportation
department
has
actually
used
xion
to
assign
students
to
bus
stops
and
use
those
bus
stops
to
create
bus
routes.
M
M
High
school
buses
are
no
longer
arriving,
30
or
even
40
minutes.
Before
the
bell,
I
will
no
longer
need
to
submit
a
maryland
public
information
act
request
for
bus
arrival
times,
because
the
website
clearly
articulates
that
elementary
school
routes
are
designed
to
deliver
students
20
minutes
before
the
bell
and
secondary
students.
M
15
minutes
before
the
bell,
and
soon
all
our
bus
buses
will
be
equipped
with
a
stop
arm
camera
systems
and
associated
gps,
and
I
hope
that
the
school
board
will
investigating
connecting
those
gps's
to
notification
systems
to
better
serve
our
communities
regarding
outages
and
delays,
while
some
may
wish
to
return
to
the
previous
school
hours,
as
maya
angelou
said,
do
the
best
you
can
until
you
know
better
and
when
then,
when
you
know
better,
do
better
to
do
better
means.
We
cannot.
C
O
Okay,
all
right
good
morning,
I'm
doug
bedell
and
many
of
my
former
colleagues
I'm
here
this
morning
as
the
parent
of
two
mead
high
school
students
and
as
a
former
teacher,
I
brought
my
visual.
This
is
miss
frizzle
and
her
magic
school
bus.
It
is
my
hope
that
she
has
taken
a
job
with
aacps,
because
it
is
only
with
her
magic
school
bus
that
my
children
and
thousands
of
others
will
ever
arrive
to
school
on
time.
O
The
last
stop
the
last
stop
on
the
elementary
route
before
ours
is
to
be
picked
up
at
7
36
a.m,
and
the
first
stop
on
our
route.
10
miles
away
is
to
be
picked
up
at
7
37
a.m.
Unless
we
have
miss
frizzle
to
bend
the
rules
of
space
and
time,
this
schedule
cannot
be
met
and
our
students
will
always
arrive
15
to
30
minutes
late
each
day,
the
middle
schoolers
even
later.
O
I
know
the
transportation
system
and
its
challenges
better
than
99.9
percent
of
the
people
in
this
county,
and
to
be
blunt,
the
current
times
between
schools
are
not
working
and,
as
is
the
case
with
ours,
they
never
will.
Ours
are
not
due
to
bus
driver
shortages;
they
are
due
to
lack
of
time
any
positive
mental
health
effects
brought
about
by
the
change
in
start
times
are
being
negated
by
the
stress
and
anxiety.
O
Thousands
of
students
are
experiencing
every
day
as
they
worry
if
their
bus
will
arrive.
If
it
does
how
late
it
will
be
and
how
much
instruction
will
they
have
missed,
and
will
there
be
a
bus
to
bring
them
home?
I
continue
to
hear
board
members
say
that
the
change
in
start
times
is
a
financially
cost
neutral
plan
due
to
efficiencies
made
in
the
system.
These
efficiencies
have
resulted
in
overcrowded
buses
and
unworkable
routes
if
hundreds
of
students
are
being
turned
away
from
buses,
because
they're
already
at
or
over
capacity,
that
is
not
cost
neutral.
O
If
thousands
of
students
are
not
arriving
to
school
on
time
or
at
all,
that
is
not
cost
neutral.
If
the
goal
of
the
change
is
to
improve
the
mental
and
emotional
health
of
students,
then
that
must
be
the
goal
not
to
be
financially
cost
neutral.
As
you
plan
the
fy
2024
budget,
please
be
real
about
the
resources
and
costs
that
are
needed
to
achieve
the
healthier
start
times
goal
without
creating
massive
transportation
equities.
O
C
Thank
you,
miss
hummer
item
5.03
virtual
day
instruction
plan,
ms
nicole
disney
bates.
E
I
too
brought
my
visual.
Yes,
I'm
copying
you
julie,
hummer,
all
right,
hello.
I
am
nicole
disney
bates,
I'm
the
tag
president,
dr
tobin,
dr
biddell
board
of
education,
all
right
it
is
starting
to
feel
like
fall
outside
today
I
could
wear
a
sweater.
It
was
a
miserable
hot
and
starbucks
is
finally
serving
my
pumpkin
spice
latte
and
because
it's
almost
fall,
it
means
that
in
maryland
fashion,
it's
really
almost
winter.
E
E
E
E
G
Good
afternoon
and
welcome
to
the
virtual
portion
of
our
public
comments,
speakers
will
be
allowed
two
minutes
each
and
may
not
allocate
their
time
to
others
miss.
How
will
indicate
when
your
time
has
expired.
The
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
meeting
student
specific
and
personal
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
form.
It
is
not
the
board's
general
practice
to
engage
in
question
and
answer
session
with
speakers
for
the
record.
Please
give
your
name
before
speaking.
G
P
Okay,
one
point
for
the
point
number
one
is:
they
are
80
to
90
driver
shortage,
so
I
don't
know
what
what's
the
next
step.
Second
is.
Thus
boe
has
a
solution
based
on
my
conversation
with
high
level
transportation
agency.
P
P
Number
third
is
boe,
consider
rollback
all
the
hours
to
the
back
where
high
school
bus
can
use
to
take
the
primary
school
and
then
primary
school,
taking
the
middle
school
bus
going
out,
reusing
and
then
number
four
is
who
does
the
board
answer
to
because
I
talked
to
executive
branch.
I
thought
the
house
representative
and
my
senate
senate
candidate.
P
Nobody
know
they
can
talk
to
you
guys.
They
say
they
cannot
do
anything.
The
last
point
is,
I
want
to
stress
my
wife
have
to
go
through
about
three
trips.
One
day
morning
take
my
daughter
to
middle
school
and
then,
after,
like
afternoon,
take
my
high
school
student
back
home
and
then
afternoon
go
and
pick
it
up
pick
her
up.
She
had
to
quit
her
part-time
job.
This
is
a
very,
very
serious
impact.
I
lived
in
annual
county
for
what
20
years
this
never
happened.
You
know
when
you
guys
consider
new
topic.
Q
Q
Like
many
of
you,
I
believe
the
children
are
our
future
and
I
came
here
today
to
say
that
they
in
many
anne
arundel
county
families,
are
suffering
on
multiple
fronts,
but
I
do
believe
together.
We
can
change
that.
The
more
I
attempt
to
advocate
for
my
child's
education
post
covet
she's,
an
iep
holder,
the
more
I
realize
that
the
pleas
of
teachers,
students
and
parents
are
not
being
adequately
timely
nor
safely
addressed.
Q
We
are
not
seeing
the
creative,
innovative
solutions
fast
enough
to
combat
the
rapidly
declining
mental
health
and
safety
of
our
community.
In
hearing
miss
jackson
state,
the
increased
number
of
referrals
for
the
possession
or
use
of
firearms
or
weapons
in
the
2021
school
year
is
one
frightening
example.
Q
Many
arguments
get
heated
not
because
our
opinions
clash,
but
because
we
fail
to
show
we
care
in
conflict.
The
most
important
step
isn't
to
defend
your
position.
It's
to
reinforce
your
relationships,
it's
easier
to
accept
that
you're
not
like-minded
if
you're
like-hearted-
and
I
greatly
appreciate
the
few
who
took
the
stance
to
address
the
very
important
unresolved
issues
at
the
start
of
this
school
year.
The
work
is
far
from
done
and
I'd
like
to
see
more
transparency
from
you
in
recognizing
the
fact
and
the
ways
you're
working
with
your
communities
for
solutions.
Q
Q
There
has
not
been
a
meeting
held
since
february
why
the
policy
requires
a
minimum
of
six
meetings
annually
and
to
date
there
has
been
two
why
you
have
27
out
of
32
cac
positions
filled.
Why?
According
to
the
latest
board
meeting,
we
have
300
classroom
vacancies
and
222
operational
vacancies.
Why?
I
do
not
believe
we
have
a
communication
issue?
We
have
a
connection
issue.
We
have
egos
blocking
the
needed
vulnerability
to
solve.
Q
G
R
Okay
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
board-
I
am
coming
from
old
mill
middle
north
and
a
lot
of
my
students
will
hopefully
be
attending
the
new
old
mill
west
high
school,
but
I'm
speaking
for
this
conversation
for
a
few
schools
that
are
on
the
agenda
or
the
list
of
schools
to
be
debated
for
the
redistricting,
it
is
alarming.
The
amount
of
development
that's
occurred
in
this
area,
mainly
meade
in
the
severn
area.
R
Glenn
bernie,
are
way
over
capacity
and
that's
beside
the
point.
The
the
overwhelming
I've
looked
at
the
report
from
the
anne
arundel
county
development
impact
on
impact
on
school
facilities.
A
lot
of
that
was
ignored,
and
now
here
we
are
we're
over
capacity
in
so
many
schools.
The
school
that
is
not
on
the
list
is
severna
park.
I
happen
to
live
in
the
riverdale
community.
It
is
a
21146,
zip
code.
R
The
shipley's
choice
was
louder.
The
average
income
is
178
000.
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
that
everybody's
eyes
are
on
you.
As
you
have
this
conversation,
riverdale
should
go
back
to
severna
park
so
that
they
are
closer
to
their
school,
the
area,
the
map
and
heart
park,
the
smallest
thank
you.
S
Hi,
my
name
is
private
patel.
I
had
a
question
particularly
redistricting,
much
like
a
topic
that
was
just
discussed
with
regard
to
both
old
mill
and
to
severna
park.
There's
an
area
off
of
east
west
road,
particularly
a
few
communities
of
shipley's
reserve,
shipley's
choice
and
shipley's
preserve
that
are
basically
divided
up
in
order
to
split
up
between
the
two
schools.
S
S
There's
also
a
split
between
how
they
can
travel
to
school,
but
particularly
with
the
trap,
the
traffic
just
issues
that
that
occur
on
veterans,
highway,
going
toward
old
mill
and
then
split
between
the
other
time
going
to
syverna
park.
My
ask
is
that
the
board
reconsider
redistricting
lines
along
those
communities
to
in
order
to
have
better
balance
between
kids
attending
both
schools,
whichever
direction
it
is
particularly
their
social
development
going
forward.
T
G
Okay,
we're
going
to
move
forward
and
if
we
can
we'll
get
back
to
miss
regard,
if,
if
we
can
our
next
speaker
on
5.01
redistricting
update
jamie
king
okay,
I
understand
jamie
is
not
with
us.
Our
next
speaker,
speaking
on
item
5.03
virtual
day
instruction
plan,
jamie
king.
G
Okay,
so
let's
see
if
we
can
go
back
to
item
5.01,
redistricting
update
honda
regard
connor.
Could
you
please
unmute.
G
So
we
could
ask
honda
regard
if
you
could
send
us
an
email
board
office
at
aacps.org.
C
C
I'm
on
oh
sorry,
for
a
year
that
feels
a
little
bit
more
normal
for
a
lot
of
us.
So
thank
you
to
all
the
schools
that
have
hosted
us
so
far,
and
I
know
dr
biddell
has
been
making
many
many
visits.
I
also
want
to
thank
the
communities
that
have
invited
us
in
for
various
events
and
discussions
and
continue
to
do
so
around
the
district.
C
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
I
just
want
to
start
off
by
letting
all
of
our
speakers
know.
That
is
with
deep
appreciation
that
you
came
in
today
to
speak.
I've
taken
on
a
ton
of
notes.
As
you
know,
this
is
my
fourth
week.
J
Fourth
week
of
this,
and
and
just
kind
of
you
know
walking
into
us
trying
to
restart
a
school
district,
that's
been
through
a
lot
over
the
past
couple
of
years
when
you
think
about
what's
happening
from
a
staffing
standpoint
from
transportation
teachers,
food
services,
employees
to
the
the
new
school
start
times
that
I
know
has
created
a
lot
of
anxiety
within
the
community,
and
it's
good
that
we
listen
to
this.
I
said
this
in
the
first
meeting
board
meeting
that
I
was
here
that
we
have
to.
J
J
I
have
been
stuck
in
some
of
the
traffic.
I
have
recognized
that
we
have
one
way
in
and
one
way
out
in
some
of
these
facilities,
and
so
my
conversation
has
been
with
our
team.
What
can
we
do
to
mitigate
some
of
the
concerns
and
it's
not
just
with
the
community?
I
with
our
staff
I
am
going
out
and
I'm
starting
to
meet
with
different
people
in
the
community.
J
I
drove
through
all
of
north
county
yesterday
and
observed
and
have
a
deeper
understanding
for
why
we're
experiencing
some
of
the
issues
over
there,
just
as
we're
experiencing
similar
issues
out
in
south
county
or
chesapeake,
when
it's
only
one
way
in
on
the
peninsula
and
one
way
out,
and
what
I
ask
of
everybody
is
just
like
the
amount
of
data
and
and
collection
that
was
taken
into
making
this
decision.
I
think
we
have
to.
J
We
owe
it
to
make
sure
that
we
pull
that
same
data
around
the
effects
that
this
decision
has
had
on
our
county
as
a
whole
right
and
then
to
be
able
to
come
back
and
say:
here's
what
we
know.
We
can
absolutely
work
on
and
fix,
and
here's
right
now
based
on
the
conditions
that
we
have
it's
not
fixable,
and
then
we
have
to
make
decisions
as
a
community
around.
How
do
we
mitigate
some
of
these
concerns.
J
So
I
recognize
these
things
as
we're
getting
emails
and
as
we're
looking
into
it-
and
I
promise
you
my
job
is
to
work
with
our
team
to
try
to
figure
out
to
the
best
of
our
ability
how
we
mitigate
these
issues.
I
am
also
pulling
data
because
I
think
it's
important
that
we
look
at
trend
data
so
right
now,
I'm
looking
at
attendance
rates
at
every
single
school
and
we're
going
to
look
at
attendance
rates
based
on
year.
J
To
date,
I've
been
giving
the
board
an
update
on
attendance
rates
and
right
now,
as
a
county,
we
are
sitting
at
about
94
percent
on
attendance
rates
in
the
future.
I
will
make
sure
that,
as
we
present,
we
have
this
data
up
on
a
screen,
because
I
think
people
need
to
see
it
and
then
we
need
to
be
able
to
talk
about
okay.
Now,
let's
break
it
down
and
look
at
how
is
it
impacting
high
schools?
How
is
it
impacting
middle
schools?
How
is
it
impacting
elementary
schools?
J
Where
are
these
areas
being
impacted,
and
now
we
can
start
to
go
in
and
say:
okay
is
this
factors
that
have
already
they
occurred
before?
We
even
did
early
start
or
are
these
now
factors
that
are
newly
created
as
a
result
of
our
inability
to
fully
staff
transportation
coupled
with
early
start?
So
we
got
to
look
at
data
and
listen
everybody.
It's
seven
days.
J
Seven
days
I've
been
a
superintendent
for
six
years.
I
never
had
transportation
figured
out
after
a
week.
I
worked
in
baltimore
county.
I
worked
in
the
houston
independent
school
district.
I
worked
in
nashville
metro
schools
and
I
worked
here
I'm
here
now.
It's
going
to
take
a
couple
of
weeks
for
us
to
try
to
figure
all
of
this
out,
so
we
can
give
you
accurate
data.
J
That's
the
reason
why
I
haven't
given
the
board
individual
school
data,
yet
because
we
have
no
shows
that
we
haven't
reconciled
with
so
those
attendance
rates
may
not
be
accurate
right,
they
may
be
higher
or
they
may
be
lower,
but
once
we're
able
to
reconcile
now
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
we'll
put
all
of
this
out
in
the
public.
So
you
all
can
see
where
we
are.
Our
enrollment
is
up
compared
to
last
year
at
this
time,
but
we
haven't
scrubbed
and
taken
off
no
shows
but
we're
showing
almost
85
000
students.
J
So
this
is
some
of
the
things
that
I
know
that
we
will
have
to
work
on
as
we
continue
to
try
to
mitigate
some
of
these
problems
and
I'm
open.
I
am
open
to
taking
ideas
from
you
all.
We
got
some
good
ideas
from
a
group
of
folks
that
we
met
with
in
south
county
last
night.
I
will
come
out
and
meet
with
you
and
listen
to
you.
You've
already
sent
me
an
email
and
some
of
that
stuff
we
looked
into
so
I
just
want
you
to
know.
J
I
don't
want
you
to
think
I
don't
want
anybody
to
feel
like
more
the
same,
we
don't
feel
like
we're
being
heard
right.
It's
a
massive
school
district
and
we're
going
to
look
into
addressing
these
things
because
we
have
a
good
school
system.
Folks,
we
can't
be
great,
though,
if
we
got
all
of
these
little
cuts,
we
can't
be
great
and
our
goal
is
to
become
a
great
school
district,
so
it's
also
making
sure
that
we're
listening
to
our
community
members
and
doing
our
part.
J
Finally,
I
want
to
give
a
shout
out
to
our
food
and
nutrition
services
team.
On
friday,
we
ran
into
a
an
unexpected
gas
leak
out
on
mountain
road
in
pasadena,
and
we
had
to
shut
school
down.
We
had
to
close
out.
We
couldn't
do
athletic
events,
we
had
to
cancel
games,
but
this
team
of
food
and
nutrition
services
team.
J
J
These
food
nutrition
service
workers
sandy
shore
and
misty
pelly
went
to
the
middle
school,
which
is
not
even
their
regular
work
location
and
they
got
things
ready
for
students
in
under
an
hour.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
them
for
what
they've
done
and
everybody
else
included
in
the
last.
I
know
I
said
the
last
thing,
but
this
is
the
last
thing
for
real.
J
We
will
get
through
this
together.
We
will
get
through
this
together.
I
promise
you.
We
will
do
this
in
a
very
collaborative
way
and
we
will
get
through
this.
I
just
asked
that
everybody
give
us
opportunities
to
get
the
data.
There
are
some
routes
that
didn't
run
last
week
that
are
now
running
that
are
now
running,
because
we
were
able
to
secure
bus
drivers,
but
just
as
fast
as
we
secure
bus
drivers,
we
got
other
bus
drivers
quitting
and
what
I
need
help
from
from
you
all
parents
and
anybody
listening.
J
I
I
get
the
frustration,
but
you
can't
go
on
to
the
buses
threatening
bus
drivers,
because
people
will
quit
because
they
don't
have
to
put
up
with
it
and
then
we're
in
a
deeper
hole.
So
the
frustration
directed
towards
me
as
the
superintendent,
but
please
let
our
bus
drivers
do
their
job
they're
doing
the
best
that
they
can
under
the
conditions
that
they
have
inherited
and
help
us
find
bus
drivers.
If
you
can
here's
my
promise-
and
I
told
this
to
the
other
community-
help
us
find
them.
J
J
So
we
need
help
I'm
asking
for
help
and
if
we
can
get
this
done,
the
wonderful
thing
that
happens
in
classrooms,
the
instruction
has
been
phenomenal,
go
into
the
schools
and
see
for
yourself,
it's
been
phenomenal,
but
we
got
to
get
them
into
the
schools.
So
thank
you
all
and
that's
the
superintendent's
report.
C
F
Yes,
so
thank
you
for
that
really
appreciate
it.
I
understand
that
we
have
a
number
of
bus
drivers
in
the
pipeline
and
I
would
like
a
little
bit
more
understanding
about
where
they
are
in
the
pipeline
and
when
we
can
see
them
out
on
routes
assigned
to
routes.
J
N
Good
afternoon
for
the
record,
alex
shaknovich
so
to
miss
weaving
together,
dr
bedell's
comments,
michelle
hyman,
addressing
your
question
directly.
We've
got
about
55
drivers
in
the
pipeline.
Right
now
driver
candidates
in
the
pipeline.
N
Ms
schollheim
really
kind
of
winds
up
in
three
places,
though
right
you've
got
55
in
the
pipeline.
Currently,
as
I
indicated
of
those,
some
of
them
fail
to
make
it
all
the
way
through
for
a
variety
of
reasons,
right,
they
either
fail
or
they
quit
at
some
point
along
this.
You
know
sort
of
eight
week
journey
of
the
ones
that
then
finish
the
eight-week
journal
journey
and
successfully
pass.
N
N
So
you
know
we
are
putting
people
through
classes,
we
pay
for
them
to
go
through
classes,
and
we
do
everything
possible,
obviously
to
have
them
work
for
us,
but
not
only
our
existing
drivers,
but
the
ones
that
are
newly
passing
classes
have
other
opportunities
and
we
are,
we
have
increasingly
become
a
consumer
driven
country
and
that
last
mile
delivery
people
expect
you
know
things
to
land
on
their
doorstep
within
24
hours
of
ordering
and
the
general
commerce.
The
commercial
sector
of
our
country,
sort
of
pivoted
towards
that
and
they've
got
tools
that
we
don't
have.
N
N
They're
going
to
charge
you
a
little
bit
more
for
that
toothpaste
and
a
little
bit
more
for
that
basketball
that
you
ordered
and
they're
going
to
start
paying
their
drivers,
yet
even
more,
which
is
going
to
further
disincentivize
ours,
our
own
drivers.
I
do
dr
bidel,
I
I
appreciate
your
comments
because,
as
I
said,
we
lost
11
and
only
gained
three
in
seven
days.
N
We've
got
to
not
drive
away
our
own.
You
know,
there's
already
a
lot
of
economic
incentive
out
there.
Michelle
heim,
I
alluded
to
that
just
by
way
of
context,
but
the
ones
that
we
have.
We
got
to
treat
like
gold,
because
we
need
to
keep
them
they're
here
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
Yes,
they're
making
money,
but
they
love
kids,
you're
not
going
to
do
this.
If
you
hate
kids
right,
they
love
kids.
Let's
treat
them
like
they
love
kids,
let's
treat
them
like
they're
part
of
the
families.
N
D
Thank
you
yeah
a
couple
things
and
thank
you,
mr
chug
number,
for
your
comments.
You
very
briefly
touched
on
how
other
districts
compare
to
ours.
Can
you
enlighten
us
a
little
more
on
that,
because
I
think
that
the
the
story
in
anne
arundel
county
is
a
bit
confusing
to
many.
I
think,
and
so
I
I
think,
that's
important
information
that
there's
this
perception,
that
anne
arundel
county
is
is
much
more
understaffed
than
others.
N
Certainly
so
thank
you
for
the
question.
Well,
I
alluded
to
it
just
briefly
or
earlier
about
sort
of
elaborate
on
that
right.
We
are.
We
are
now
for
the
second
year
in
a
row,
but
actually
in
a
worse
shape,
even
a
year
before
in
a
deficit
for
school
bus
drivers,
and
that
is
across
the
country
and
that
is
across
the
state
and
clearly
right.
The
evidence
shows
locally
here
and
it's
for
many
of
the
factors
that
I
I
alluded
to
when
I
was
addressing
miss
shawheim's
question.
N
So
the
most
recent
data
that
I
saw
was
data
that
was
collected
by
msde,
and
it's
now
about
three
weeks
old,
so
they
they
sent
out
a
survey.
But
at
that
time
we
had
about
a
nine
percent
vacancy
rate
in
terms
of
our
drivers
of
the
large
jurisdictions.
N
We
were
actually
fourth,
so
three
of
the
larger
jurisdictions
had
a
higher
vacancy
rate
than
we
did,
and
the
other
thing
I
want
to
address
miss
ellis
is
it's
it's
not
simply.
A
divergence
of
counties
like
us
that
outsource,
because
some
of
the
counties
that
self-perform
that
have
a
hundred
percent
government
employees
with
pensions
with
benefits
had
higher
vacancy
rates
than
we
did
as
well.
So
there's
not
that
silver
bullet
that
we
make
them
merit
employees
and
all
of
a
sudden
they
come.
N
You
know
flocking
because
other
jurisdictions
that
use
that
other
model
are
similarly
struggling.
But,
specifically,
you
know,
howard
county
has
had
based
on
the
msd
data
howard
county
baltimore,
county,
prince
george's
county
all
had
higher
vacancy
rates
on
a
percentage
basis,
because
you
have
to
go
by
percent
correct
right.
That's
the
only
way
to
do
apples
to
apples
because
their
jurisdictions
are
so
much
differently.
Sized.
D
So
yes,
there
are
some
counties
who
own
their
own
fleet
employ
their
drivers,
but
there's
surely
other
differences
between
us
so
as
far
as
aacps
employed
drivers?
How
how
large
of
a
deficit.
N
I
think
we
are
only
down
about
two
yeah
and
we
were
fully
staffed
heading
into
the
summer.
We've
we
had,
I
believe,
seven
leave
us
we've
brought
on
five,
so
I
think
we're
in
a
deficit
of
two,
but
just
like
our
contractors.
N
We
also
have
other
folks
that
are
not
front
line
drivers,
so
we've
been
able
to
press
into
service
and
our
contractors
do
the
same.
They've
got
mechanics
they've
got
mid-level,
managers
they've
got
dispatchers,
you
know
right
now,
it's
an
all
hands
on
deck
situation
and
everybody
they
can
have
or
everyone
we
have
is
out
on
the
road
driving
buses.
So
we
currently
have
those
two
vacancies,
but
we
are
able
to
cover
them.
So
we've
got
55
of
our
own
routes.
That.
T
N
N
N
Six
of
them
are
call
outs.
We
had
64
routes
not
covered
because
of
that
potential
of
81
right.
The
contractor
is
using
the
same
techniques
that
I
just
alluded
to.
The
contractors
were
able
to
cover
17
of
those
leaving
the
balance
of
the
64
that
were
not
run
this
morning
and
again
it's
strategies
such
as
you
know,
using
any
and
everybody
that
you
have
on
your
team.
That's
eligible
combining
routes
wherever
feasible.
N
You
know
that's
the
path
to
incrementally
begin,
bringing
down
those
vacancy
numbers
and
his
uncovered
numbers.
D
Thank
you
for
expanding
and
making
that
clear
and
then
finally,
the
the
question
that
we
get
a
lot
is
how
it
is
determined
what
routes
are
going
to
be
vacant
and
which
one?
How
are
we
prioritizing,
and
I
have
two
particular
issues.
Obviously
the
the
the
communities
that
are
probably
more
disadvantaged
in
a
number
of
ways:
economically,.
D
It
it
can
be
easily
stated
that
it's
it's
more
of
a
hardship
for
them
to
have
options
to
get
their
kids
to
school
and
then
the
other
is,
and
this
one's
a
little
more
touchy
is
our
magnet
schools.
Obviously,
a
magnet
program
is
a
program
of
choice,
but
it's
a
program
we
offer
and
it's
a
and
that
becomes
that
student's,
school
and
so
those
those
parents
now
have
to
take
their
child
across
the
county.
D
Perhaps
which
could
be
the
you
know
if
they
live
in
west
county
and
they're
they're
they're
going
to
brooklyn
park
middle
school
for
pva
and
they
work
in
dc,
I
mean.
So.
How
are
we
prioritizing
to
try
and
minimize
the
hardship.
N
Sure
so
I
mean,
let
me
take
the
first
crack
at
that
question
and
I'm
sure
dr
bedell,
ms
jackson
may
weigh
in
as
well,
so
it
it's
a
little
bit
like
a
multi-variable
calculus
problem
right.
It's
just
simply
not
that
easy.
One
of
the
things
we
heard
from
this
board
last
year
heading
into
this
year,
wanted
us
to
take
into
account
the
degree
to
which
routes
were
not
run
last
year
yeah.
N
So
one
of
the
very
you
know-
and
this
is
my
words
not
not
just
boards
words,
but
essentially
try
to
to
spread
or
move
the
the
pain
around
right.
So
it's
not
that
exact
group
from
last
year
is
heavily
impacted
this
year.
So
certainly
we're
looking
at
last
year's
data
to
inform
this
year's
data.
That's
a
piece
of
it.
Certainly
we
do
take
into
account
factors
like
you
know
our
their
title.
One
status
we
take
into
account
if
you
have
an
asset
and
an
asset
can
hold
x
amount
of
children.
N
Do
you
deploy
that
one
asset
to
pick
up,
11
youngsters
or
you
deployed
at
one
exit
to
potentially
pick
up,
46
youngsters
right,
so
we're
taking
a
look
at
things
like
that?
We
are
the
one
limiting
factor
we
have
is,
as
you
recall,
and
we've
covered
this
many
times
last
year.
Ms
ellis
was
that
we
do
publicly.
You
know,
bid
and
award
these
routes
and
we've
got
you
know
16
different
operators
out
there
that
are
managing.
N
You
know
their
staff,
their
fleets,
their
contracted
routes.
Some
of
them
are,
quite
honestly,
better
staffed
or
higher
staff,
some
of
them
not
as
well
right
and
we
do
not.
We
do
not
have
the
luxury
of
unilaterally
going
into
fictitious
example.
N
Those
are
the
things
we're
looking
at
right,
we're
looking
at
trying
to
not
as
heavily
impact
the
ones
who
are
as
heavily
impacted
last
year,
taking
a
look
at
title,
1
potentials,
taking
a
look
at
riderships.
You
know
again
that
euphemism
of
where
do
you
get
the
most
bang
for
your
buck
right?
If
you
only
have
one?
Where
do
you
optimize
the
deployment
of
that?
And
there
are
other
factors,
but
you
know
I'm
sort
of
giving
you
a
picture.
N
So
it's
not!
Oh,
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say,
is
it's
a
little
bit
of
still
it's
a
little
bit
of
a
moving
target.
I
think
dr
vidal
said
you
know
data
data
data,
we're
collecting
the
data
each
and
every
day,
so
we
know
which
routes
are
not
covered.
We
know
where
we've
lost
the
driver.
We
know
where
we've
added
a
driver
and
things
and
we're
still
in
a
process
of
combining
routes
and
doing
other
things.
So
I
think
once
we
get
that
data
stabilized
right,
we're
kind
of
into
a
a
more
steady
state.
D
Okay-
and
I
don't
have
any
more
questions
except
you
said
something
that
I
feel
like
needs
to
be
cleared
up.
You
can't
take
from
company
a
to
drive
for
company
c,
but
if
companies
see
if
we
get
to
a
point
where
company
c
is
not
performing
on
a
route
and
company
a
can,
that
can
be
dealt
with
through
contract,
correct.
N
Yes,
ma'am
100,
and
we
did
that
last
year
and
we're
fully
prepared
to
do
that
this
year.
All
the
contractors
clearly
understand
that,
within
every
contract,
a
contract
has
a
series
of
remedies
right.
It's
it's
like
miss
jackson,
deals
in
a
world
of
progressive
discipline,
whether
it's
progressive
discipline
for
student
or
or
an
employee.
Unfortunately
right
well,
embedded
within
each
and
every
contract.
There
is
a
series:
it's
like
progressive
discipline,
but
there
are
steps
that
we
can
take
contractually
and
absolutely
taking
away
and
reassigning
to
work
a
hundred
percent.
N
We
did
it
last
year
and
we
have
no
qualms
about
doing
that
this
year.
With
one
caveat,
if
you
take
the
work
away
from
fictitious
company
a
you
have
to
have
a
home
for
it
right,
you
have
to
have
another
company
that
is
prepared
to
service
that
route
and
service
it
consistently,
but
a
hundred
percent.
The
answer
is
yes,.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
so
I
want
to.
I
want
to
ask
about
a
couple
little
other.
Well,
no,
not
little
other
things
related
to
transportation.
F
So
it's
my
understanding
that
we
still
pay
the
training,
the
cdl
training,
but
then
there
could
be
amazon,
rep
standing
outside
the
boundary
of
the
mba
waiting
to
poach
that
person
that
just
passed
their
test.
Are
there
any
safeguards
to
to
ensuring
that,
if
we're
paying
for
the
training
that
that
driver
then
comes
and
drives
for
us.
N
Very
good
question:
miss
scholheim,
an
answer
is
no,
and
the
answer
is
no.
On
purpose,
we've
gone
down
that
route
before
it's
a
disincentive
to
folks
even
applying
to
become
candidates.
So
we
have.
We
have
explored
basically
like
work
requirements
like
okay.
If
we,
if
you
come
to
this
class
and
you
pass,
you
are
committed
to
work
for
us
for
a
certain
amount
of
time
and
if
not
we're
going
to
put
a
lien
against
your
house,
you
can't
really
do
that.
I'm.
N
But
so,
if
you
create
a
construct
at
the
beginning
that
there
is
a
potential
penalty
on
the
back
side,
it
de-incentivizes
folks,
there
are
other
entities
out
here,
both
public
and
private,
that
are
training
drivers,
cdl
drivers,
the
anne
arundel
community
college
has
a
very
robust
program
to
train
cdl
drivers.
We
partner
with
the
community
college
they're
tremendous
allies
we
partner
with
them
to
get
cdl
drivers
through
the
program.
N
N
One
of
the
instructors
or
I
or
somebody
from
transportation
says
and,
however,
if
you
go
down
to
school
bus
route,
there's
going
to
be
penalties.
If
you
don't
come
to
work
for
me,
eventually,
the
ones
that
were
sitting
over
to
the
half
the
room
that
was
school
bus,
oriented,
they're,
going
to
get
out
of
their
chairs
and
they're
going
to
walk
to
the
other
one,
because
remember
the
other
one's
already
more
lucrative,
financially.
F
N
N
N
Employees
actually
have
gained
a
little
bit
of
power
right
there,
and
so
some
of
the
dynamics
between
the
employer,
employee
or
you
know,
corporate
versus
private.
Some
of
those
dynamics
are
changing
right
before
our
very
eyes.
We
have
to
change
along
with
that,
we're
learning
and
trying
different
things,
and
it's
almost
like
that
scientific
method.
Right
we've
got
a
hypothesis,
we
deploy
it,
we
watch
it
and
if
it
works
great,
if
it
doesn't
work,
we
have
two
options:
it
doesn't
work.
N
F
Under
understood,
thank
you
for
that
clarity
around
that
two.
Just
two
more
really
quick
questions,
and
you
know
this
is
just
thinking
outside
the
box.
This
is
not
my
idea.
This
idea,
it
came
to
me,
but
I
think
it's
great
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
it
out
in
the
universe.
F
If
there's
work,
forces
that
that
have
more
of
a
flexible
is
not
the
right
word,
but
don't
have
like
a
consistent
nine
to
five
five
day
a
week
hours
that
also
have
cdls,
I
don't
know,
maybe
like
firefighters
or
something
like
that.
If
it
you
know
reaching
out
to
those
bodies
and
saying
hey,
can
you
between
between
two
people,
who
might
have
a
stretch
of
time?
You
know
off
days
in
the
week
you
know:
can
together
mutually
cover
a
route
or
at
least
most
of
the
time
like?
N
Certainly
again
good
question,
so
the
answer
to
that
is
yes,
and
actually
the
state
dmv
has
sent
out
because
they've
got
the
list
of
everybody
who
holds
a
piece
of
plastic
in
their
wallet
that
says
cdl
on
it.
So
actually
the
governor's
office
and
mva
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
that.
That's
one
piece.
Secondly,
we
work
with
our
economic
development
and
work
and
anne
arundel
workforce
development
office.
Here
they
have
been
doing
a
tremendous
amount
of
that
as
well.
N
You
have
to
have
a
p
passenger
endorsement
and
most
of
our
buses
now
have
an
air
brake
system
on
them,
as
opposed
to
a
hydraulic,
the
old-fashioned,
mechanical
or
hydraulic
system,
which
requires
yet
another
specialized
endorsement
onto
your
license.
So
not
all
cdl
drivers
are
minted
the
same
and
you
would
have
to
have
an
individual,
for
example,
volunteer
fireman
for
long
time
drove
engines
right.
I
couldn't
drive
a
school
bus.
I
would
have
to
go
back
to
training
and
get
those
additional
go
through
training
and
go
through
tests
to
get
those
additional
endorsements.
N
Us-
and
it's
actually
a
very
you
know
the
the
good
thing
with
that
is.
I
mentioned
like
an
eight-week
timeline.
Yeah
they've
already
done
the
hard
part
yeah.
So
now
it's
just
a
couple
little
add-ons,
so
we
would
be
highly
receptive
to
anybody
like
that.
Like
I
said,
the
state
is
trying
to
advocate
for
that
workforce
development
is
trying
to
advocate
people
to
stretch
their
existing
licenses
a
little
bit
to
get
those
additional
endorsements.
So
we.
F
Great
job,
very
fulfilling
good
good
kids,
that's
my
plug.
Lastly,
I
just
want
to
piggyback
on
something
that
was
said
earlier
that,
were
you
know,
in
terms
of
prioritizing
routes.
One
more
thing
you
might
want
to
consider
is
distance
to
school.
N
F
That
should
have
happened
years
ago
so
anyway,
thank
you
and-
and
I
and
I
just
want
to
show
my
support
and
my
gratitude
for
being
in
and
again
an
impossible
situation.
But
you
know.
N
Our
human
resources
department,
as
well
as
workforce
development,
has
been
aggressively
marketing
our
positions
to
existing
school
bus
drivers
and
school
bus
attendants,
because
the
schedules
not
always,
but
in
some
cases
the
schedules
work
out
such
that
you
can
drive
a
bus
in
the
morning,
go
work
for
miss
rissy
for
food
services
in
the
middle
and
go
back
and
run
a
bus
in
the
afternoon.
That's
option
a
or
you
can
work
your
bus
routes
am
or
pm,
and
then
you
can
go
work
for
our
operations
division.
N
We
have
both
four
and
eight
hour
positions.
You
can
go
work
for
operations
in
the
pm
and
that
what
that
does
is
it
makes
that
school
bus
driver
position
or
school
bus
aid
attendant
whatever
you
want
to
call
them
a
more
viable,
because
you
can
make
a
you
can
actually
make
more
money
right
because
you're
working
more
hours,
you
make
more
money,
you
could
potentially
become
eligible
for
our
benefits,
right,
maybe
better
than
the
private
sector.
N
So
we
are
actually
aggressively
reaching
out
to
the
private
sector
to
see
if
we
can
pair
up,
because
you
you
reference
a
firefighter
driving
a
bus,
we're
also
trying
to
get
bus
drivers
to
work
for
food
services
or
operations
to
increase
their
pay
and
increase
their
benefits
as
well.
So
we're
working
that
candle
on
both
ends.
That's.
F
F
Briefly,
it
was
just
briefly
okay,
so
just
for
the
folks
listening
I
just
I
asked
about,
I
asked
about
a
couple.
I
asked
about
what
the
paying
to
train.
I
asked
about
routing
buses
that
that
are
further
afield
as
a
as
one
of
the
many
considerations
versus
the
ones
that
are
close
in
and-
and
I
love
the
idea
about
about
having
bus
drivers,
then
then
go
work
for
miss
rissy,
she's,
amazing,
and
we
need
food
and
nutrition
staff
up
and
down
the
county.
F
C
Thank
you.
I
just
wanted
to
add
a
couple
of
quick
questions.
First
of
all,
a
huge.
Thank
you,
a
couple
of
very
critical
routes,
I
believe,
have
now
been
covered
in
the
annapolis
area
and
I
those
those
were
for
students
who
had
few
options,
so
I
I
know
incredible.
Work
has
continued
to
happen
in
these
first
seven
days.
So.
Thank
you
also.
I
wanted
to
ask
dr
bedell,
mr
shaknowitch.
C
N
Terrific,
so
yes,
just
like
last
year,
you
remember
once
we
identified
sort
of
where
those
gaps
were
because
that's
the
first
piece
right.
You
got
to
lead
with
data,
so
we
now
have
have
a
better
handle
on
where
our
coverage
gaps
are.
We
have
met
with
both
the
county
and
the
city
twice
now
to
basically
overlay
their
route
structure
on
top
of
our
gap
structure,
so
I
think
we're
pretty
close
to
those
details.
N
Both
the
county
and
the
city
would
waive
fees
for
our
students.
They
did
that
last
year,
they're
amenable
to
waiving
the
fees
for
our
youngsters
as
well.
So
the
plan
is-
and
I
think
we're
really
close
to
getting
that
work
done.
The
plan
would
be.
We
would
partner,
then
with
mr
mosher's
group
in
communications,
and
we
would
put
that
information
up
on
our
website
so
pamp,
so
families
could
easily
access
what
potential
municipal
routes
or
county
routes
are
either
the
city
or
the
county.
N
N
I
will
say
it's
a
little
bit
more
challenging
this
year
than
last
year,
really
just
for
one
reason
when,
when
we
first
faced
this
last
year,
both
the
city
and
the
county
had
lower
ridership
levels,
because
we
had
not
maybe
as
fully
emerged
out
of
the
pandemic
structure,
and
because
there
was
a
higher
work
from
home
prevalence
right
12
months
ago
than
there
is
now
so.
Their
ridership
numbers
are
up
a
little
higher
and
they've
got
constituents.
They
need
to
serve
too,
and
we
got
to
be
mindful
that,
there's
a
balance
right
there.
N
They
don't
work
for
the
school
district,
they
work
for
all
of
the
citizens
of
the
city
and
all
of
the
citizens
of
the
county,
but
where
they
can
help
us
and
where
their
resources
overlap
and
where
we
can
plug
coverage
gaps
partnering
with
them
they're
all
in.
They
are
terrific
partners
with
us,
and
they
will
do
everything
they
can
to
help
us
right
within
within
the
constraints
that
they
also
face.
They
also
have
labor
shortages,
just
like
we
do
currently.
J
I
I
just
want
to
publicly
thank.
J
He
was
like
get
my
people
connected
with
your
people.
Let's
make
it
happen.
There
was
no
hesitation
whatsoever,
and
that
is
that's
the
type
of
partnerships
that
we're
looking
for
with
our
elected
officials
to
kind
of
help
us
through
this
rather
than
we
just
don't.
We
don't
need
to
be
at
odds
with
each
other,
and
I
think
there
is.
U
There's
a
lot
of
that
going
on.
We
just
have
to
work
together,
and
I
said
that
earlier
today
we
just
all
have
to
work
together
to
work
through
this,
so
I
I
do
want
to
publicly
acknowledge
his
willingness
to
want
to
help
support
the
district
through
this
matter.
C
C
N
This
this
county
is
under
service
with
public
and
municipal
transit
to
this.
This
is
alex
now
this
isn't
company
guy
talking
anymore,
but
we
are
under
service,
with
public
mass
transit
to
almost
an
embarrassing
level
compared
to
the
resources
that
we
have
in
this
county.
Yes,
because
truly
it's
really
only
this-
and
this
is
part
of
the
problem.
N
Madam
president,
it's
really
the
city
of
annapolis
and
the
northern
part
of
the
county,
say
the
glen
burnie
region
or
whatever
right
so
so
many
parts
of
our
county
don't
have
any
service
at
all
that
the
the
opportunities
where
we're
looking
at
to
do
that
venn
diagram
thing
of
where
to
our
gaps
that
that's
not
even
a
possibility
somewhere
so
long
term.
This
isn't
a
today
issue,
but
at
some
point
in
time
this
county
needs
to
wrestle
a
little
bit
more
with
that.
N
C
I
that's
a
point
well
taken
and
I
would
I
would
say
that
it's
you
know
we're
working
hard
as
a
school
system
to
get
our
transportation
where
we
need
it
to
be,
but
we
have
always
been
under
the
gun
because,
probably
the
most
reliable
public
transportation
anybody
in
this
county
has
ever
had
in
my
memory
has
been
school
buses
and
there
are
no
backups
for
most
people.
So
I
think
that
is
something
worth
considering
as
a
part
of
the
package
that
that
you're
talking
about
mr
sheknovich,
I'm
sorry
miss
corcodal.
V
Thank
you
so
very
much
so
I
just
wondered.
I
am
some
of
the
anxiety.
I
think
that
we
heard
from
some
folks
surrounds
of
the
my
child
being
late
to
school.
V
V
So
I
know
that
we
are
handling
this
with
grace
and
compassion.
Each
and
every
single
school
and
our
administrators
and
our
teachers
are
working
hard
to
make
sure
that
they're
caught
up
that
they're
included
if
they
miss
that
first
day
of
interaction
and
bonding
that
there
are
many
opportunities
daily
in
the
classroom
to
reestablish
that.
But
could
you
go
over
just
a
little
bit
of
a
couple
strategies
and
how?
What
the?
What?
If?
V
W
Prove
that
I
was
in
the
school
security
office
with
members
of
our
leadership
team
and
we
watched
the
staff
and
interacted
with
the
staff
via
phone
throughout
the
evening,
probably
at
least
until
6
45,
and
so
that's
just
one
example
of
the
fact
that
our
administrators
and
our
school-based
staff
will
do
whatever
it
takes.
So
I
want
to
start
with
that.
Then
I
want
to
talk
about
what
we
have
at
every
single
school
and
so
at
the
secondary
level.
W
W
So
that
our
students
can
get
extra
support,
they
can
have
pre-teaching
re-teaching
and
all
of
those
things
already
built
into
the
school
day,
so
that
it
does
not
detract
from
their
after-school
activities
because
many
of
them
have
sports.
They
have
drama
theater
dance
and
many
of
them
have
to
work.
So
that's
the
secondary
level.
It
also
exists
in
the
elementary
level
as
we
have
differentiated
instruction
at
the
elementary
level
and
so
again
built
into
the
academic
day.
We
have
an
opportunity
for
students
to
have
reteaching,
pre-teaching
and
extension
if
needed.
W
So
that's
that
takes
care
of
the
first
two
things.
We
also
have
a
network
of
support
within
the
school
day,
especially
at
the
secondary
level,
so
that,
if
students
need
that
support,
we
will
continue
to,
and
then
you
have
those
people
that
you
know
a
student
may
not
be
able
to
name.
W
In
the
event
that
a
student
needs
some
additional
support,
so
they
should
not
be
penalized
if
they
are
or
if
there
is
ever
any
question
or
a
comment
or
a
need
for
support
from
a
student
or
community
member.
We
ask
that
you
start
with
the
school
principal
and
have
that
interaction.
Have
that
conversation
with
the
school
principal
so
that
they
are
aware
of
the
issue
and
again,
if
that
school
principal
is
not
able
to
resolve
that
issue,
we
ask
that
you
reach
out
to
the
regional
assistant
superintendent
and
then
from
there.
V
Just
as
a
follow-up,
so
that
information
is
on
our
website
when
you
go
and
you
look
up
your
school
and
not
only
do
you
have
the
principal
and
the
assistant
principals,
but
you
also
have
the
regional
superintendent,
because
a
lot
of
times
people
are
like.
Well,
I
tried
that
conversation,
so
it
is
there.
You
just
have
to
scroll
down
a
little
bit.
There
was
one
other
concern
and
I
just
wanted
to
alleviate
it,
because
I
think
it's
a
perception-
and
that
is
of
course
we
serve.
V
Breakfast
breakfast
is
an
option
for
all
students
and
for
quite
a
few
of
our
students.
That
is
a
an
essential
meal
for
them.
In
our
free
and
reduced
meal
program.
V
We
do
have
some
buses
that
are
showing
up
late
and
because
of
carpools
and
stuff,
could
you
just
go
over,
because
I
think
parents
have
a
perception
that
now
they're
they're
not
eating
their
meal,
and
I
was
actually
kind
of
curious
of
how
we
work
through
that.
If
you
could
explain
it
because
once
I
heard
it,
I
was,
I
was
relieved
a
little
bit,
not
the
fact
that
they're
showing
up
late
and
having
to
multitask,
but
that
we
do
have
a
plan
in
place
for
that
absolutely.
W
So,
let's
be
clear,
I
was
a
principal
10
to
12
years
ago
and
late
buses
are
not
a
new
thing,
and
so,
as
a
principal
of
annapolis
middle
school,
I
was
dealing
with
late
bosses,
and
so
we
make
provisions
for
those
students
we
write
passes
to
make
sure
that
they
get
to
their
class,
sometimes
especially
at
our
students
at
our
schools,
where
they
have
full
school
breakfast
program,
they're
eating
right
there
in
their
classroom,
and
so
those
things
are
typically
not
issues
and
again
going
back
to
your
earlier
question.
This
is
not.
W
This
has
not
been
the
first
school
year
where
we
have
students,
who've
had
some
chronic
attendance
issues
and
we
do
work
with
those
students,
no
matter
what
the
issue
is
right
to
make
sure
that
they
are
accessing
their
education.
And
so,
if
there
is
a
concern-
and
I
know
people
are
maybe
a
little
bit
shy
about
reaching
out
to
the
principal-
but
please
reach
out
to
the
principal
and
let
them
know
because,
as
I've
said
in
front
of
this
body
many
times
before,
we
can
only
fix
that
which
we
know
about.
V
Yeah,
that
is
absolutely
correct,
and,
and
just
I
know
the
people-
I've
had
a
chance
to
speak
with,
I'm
literally
on
the
phone
trying
to
trying
to
reach
out
at
the
personal
level,
wherever
I
can
and.
W
That's
a
good
point:
miss
corcodel
because
reaching
out
to
the
school
principal
is
the
best
way
yeah,
and
I
I
love
social
media,
it's
great
in
so
many
ways,
but
posting
your
disdain
or
something
or
a
particular
situation
on
facebook
or
whatever
social
media
platform
may
not
get
it
to
the
appropriate
person.
And
so
the
best
way
is
to
put
your
child's
school
in
your
phone,
save
it
and
call
that
school
administrator
so
that
they
know.
V
Yeah,
in
other
words,
we
know
we're
busy,
and
I
hear
that,
but
I
I
didn't
want
to
because
I
thought
they
were
too
busy
or
they
wouldn't
get
back
to
me
or
one
occasion.
Two
years
ago
I
did
not
get
a
return
call,
and
I
would
just
I
encourage
and
now
we're
in
public
forum.
I
would
say.
Definitely
that
is
not
the
case.
We
do
need
to
hear
what
transportation
needs
to
hear.
If
there's
a
transportation
issue
the
school
needs
to
hear.
V
If,
if
there's
academic
impact,
that's
the
only
way
we
can
help
and
better
understand.
We
just
talked
about
data
and
what
data
is
going
to
do
to
help
us
improve
our
system
and
our
infrastructure,
and
we
need
that
data
and
so
you're
not
hindering
someone
you're,
not
bothering
them
you're,
actually
helping
advocate
for
your
student
and
that's
where
we
want
them
to
be
right.
Absolutely.
Thank
you.
So
very
much,
no
more
questions.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
miss
corcodel,
one
last
thing
I
would
just
add,
and
this
is
based
on
some
of
the
testimony
we
received,
and
this
is
not
the
first
time
I
think
most
of
us
have
heard
this.
C
C
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
both.
So
we
will
move
to
the
policy
committee
report.
Oh
sorry,
oh
sorry,
miss
frank.
Apologies.
Now,
discussion,
miss
frank.
I
said
I
could
jump
in.
I
And
we
forgot
yeah,
no,
I
I
did
absolutely
want
to
just
say
a
couple
words,
dr
bedell.
Thank
you.
You
know
representing
the
chesapeake
cluster.
You
got
to
see
some
of
the
more
interesting
problems
inherent
on
friday,
so
I
absolutely
wanted
to
thank
you
and
mr
mosher
for
all
of
your
help
getting
folks
communications
buses,
food
everything
that
that
had
to
go
into
servicing
that
community
in
a
difficult
time
early
in
the
year
already.
So
I
wanted
to.
Thank
you.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
our
food
and
nutrition
services.
I
I
So
I'm
really
appreciative,
I
you
know
I
I
ate
the
food.
I
appreciated
the
people
that
made
sure
that
our
kids
had
food
when
they
needed
it,
so
I'm
really
thankful
to
our
food
and
nutrition
services.
Folks
this
week
I
also
really
want
to
thank
my
community
all
of
the
people
who
stepped
up
to
grab
kids
and
other
people's
kids.
I
Somebody
sent
me
a
picture
of
a
boat
taxi
because
we
are
a
peninsula
and
some
of
our
our
communities
are
water-based
communities.
So
we
had
boats
running
kids
to
their
homes
and
golf
carts
because
they
could
go
in
the
grass
next
to
the
road,
so
it
was
a
phenomenal
effort.
You
know
we
were
locked
down
for
about
eight
and
a
half
hours.
It
was.
I
It
was
not
fun,
but
I
really
appreciate
all
of
the
many
people
who
went
in
to
help
with
this
pasadena,
specifically
the
mountain
road
cluster
or
the
schools
down
that
road
have
unique
challenges
that
will
have
to
be
addressed
and,
as
we
have
the
discussions
on
start
times,
I've
seen
many
emails
from
communities
with
concerns.
Obviously,
I'm
most
familiar
with
my
own
community
and
many
of
the
roads
and
routes
in
my
district
do
not
have
sidewalks
in
many
areas.
We
do
not
have
shoulders
and
we
have
sidewalks
that
end
abruptly.
I
I
I
Specifically
some
of
the
concerns
about
young
students
at
bus
stops
early
in
the
morning
standing
at
stops
in
the
dark
we
heard
throughout
the
process
that
students
would
not
be
standing
in
the
dark
that
constituents
didn't
want
students
in
the
dark.
So
when
we
discussed
that
with
our
consultant,
that
was
something
that
this
board
brought
to
attention,
and
I
want
to
keep
that
concern
at
the
forefront
of
all
of
these
conversations,
because
that
is
the
reality
of
what
we
have
from
from
the
work
of
the
consultant,
and
I
have
a
lot
of
concerns.
I
I
just
want
the
community
to
know
that
I
have
already
requested
data
to
understand
how
our
consultant
was
unable
to
deliver
on
these
promises.
I've
requested
that
from
dr
bedell
he
has
graciously
promised
that
he
will
take
a
look
and
deliver
some
data
points
and
and
review
all
of
this
and
and
give
reports
to
the
board
on
that,
and
I
will
continue
to
follow
up
on
those
concerns
and
I
am
very
appreciative
of
all
of
the
staff
working
through
all
of
the
many
issues
the
community
and
board
members
have
brought
to
their
attention.
I
It's
been
more
emails,
I
think
I've
seen
in
the
last
two
or
three
weeks
than
than
any
other
issue,
and
it
is
an
incredible
time
to
join
us.
Dr
bedeau
and
I
am
thankful
for
your
patience
in
all
of
this,
and
I
really
do
appreciate
the
tone
that
you
have
set
going
into
this,
that
there
are
a
lot
of
problems
that
we're
going
to
do
our
best
and
we're
going
to
understand
what
the
problems
are
and
we're
going
to
tackle
them.
And
I
appreciate
that.
U
J
And
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
frustration,
but
the
community
has
stepped
up.
Many
of
many
folks
are
getting
their
kids
to
school
and
it's
evident
when
you
look
at
the
attendance
rates,
despite
us
not
having
a
number
of
routes
that
are
running
so
that
example
that
you
just
provided
of
this,
whatever
it
take
mentality.
J
It's
it's
highly
appreciative
from
my
standpoint
and
we
we
have
a
meeting
upcoming
meeting
where
we
will
meet
with
prismatic.
I
think,
sometime
next
week
and
we'll
talk
about
some
of
the
concerns.
U
C
C
It's
been
a
challenge,
but
people
have
stepped
up
and
it's
been
remarkable
to
see
the
commitment
and
thank
you,
dr
bedell,
for
taking
on
all
of
this.
As
you
jump
into
our
county.
C
Okay,
I
see
no
more
lights.
Has
everyone
had
an
opportunity?
Okay,
thank
you.
So
item
4.03
policy
committee
report
I
should
say
unfortunately
our
colleague
ms
dent,
was
not
able
to
be
with
us
today
due
to
a
family
situation
she
had
to
attend
to
and,
as
a
result,
she
also
was
not
able
to
attend
the
policy
committee
meeting
yesterday
of
which
she
is
chair,
so
I
stepped
in,
and
I
will
deliver
a
very
brief
report.
The
policy
committee
met
yesterday
at
three
o'clock.

closing
the
opportunity
gaps
in
and
outside
of
our
schools.
X
X
X
X
C
T
C
U
I
know
alex-
I
don't
necessarily
know
this
new
gentleman
here,
so
you
may
have
to
introduce
yourself
for
the
record,
but
we'll.
N
And
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
for
us
to
present
item
5.01.
It's
an
information
only
item
today
regarding
an
update
for
redistricting.
As
you
know,
and
we'll
we'll
go
into
this
a
little
bit
deeper.
But,
as
you
know,
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
currently
has
under
construction
a
new
west
county
elementary
school,
as
well
as
the
old
mill
west
high
school.
N
Those
two
schools,
as
well
as
the
reconstruction
of
those
other
schools,
are
also
going
to
create
some
capacity
opportunities
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
utilize
and
provides
us
with
an
opportunity
to
comprehensively
revisit
the
attendance
and
boundary
zones
to
better
balance.
The
utilization
of
schools
within
the
arundel,
chesapeake,
glen,
burnie,
mead,
north
county,
northeast
and
old
mill,
feeder
districts,
and
so
that's
the
purpose
of
the
overview
today.
N
So
as
a
foundation
for
that,
let
me
allow
mr
ruff
to
go
through
the
school
opening
timeline
talk
about
our
partners
in
the
process
and
where
we've
gotten
to
date,
and
then
I
will
pick
that
up
and
carry
the
conversation
between
now
to
the
balance
of
this
process.
Y
So,
as
alex
mentioned,
there
is
multiple
planning,
design
and
construction
projects
currently
underway
in
the
seven
feeders.
These
projects
provide
additional
capacity
and
programmatic
space
to
the
schools
within
the
county
experiencing
higher
utilizations.
The
most
consequential
projects,
as
alex
mentioned,
are
west
county
elementary
school
and
those
associated
with
the
old
mill
master
plan.
Y
Using
the
current
construction
and
funding
timelines.
10
of
those
projects
are
scheduled
to
be
completed
by
the
27-28
school
year,
I'll
break
those
down
by
year
school
year,
23-24
quarterfield
elementary
school
and
rippling
wood
replacement
projects
will
be
complete
in
school
year.
24
25,
the
new
west
county
elementary
school
will
be
complete
and
in
addition,
we
will
also
be
completing
park
elementary
schools
edition
project
which
will
be
shown
on
the
cip,
old
mill
middle
school,
south
replacement
will
be
completed
and
the
new
old
mill
west
high
school
will
also
be
completed.
Y
Finally,
in
the
year
24
25,
we
will
be
finishing
up
the
mead
high
school
phased
renovation
edition
project
in
school
year.
26-27
cat
north
replacement
will
be
completed
as
well
as
old
mill
middle
north
in
2728.
The
final
project
old
mill,
high
school
replacement
project
will
complete
be
completed
together.
These
projects
represent
a
substantial
investment
in
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
to
assist
in
this
redistricting
effort,
the
board
of
education
awarded
a
contract
to
wxy
architecture
and
urban
design
in
december
of
2021.
Y
N
So
that
provides
the
highlights
of
the
work.
That's
been
done
here
to
four
to
get
us
here
today.
So
what's
the
road
map
look
like
going
forward,
so
today
is
essentially
the
initial
outreach
both
to
you
as
the
board.
Of
course,
you
are
already
cognizant
that
you
approved
the
contract
for
this
endeavor,
but
we're
here
today,
because
in
accordance
with
our
policy
and
regulation,
which
is
jaa,
we
customarily
commenced
the
redistricting
process
in
september
ergo.
N
N
Not
only
is
that
information
going
to
be
put
up
on
a
website,
but
we
are
going
to
begin
a
public
and
information
campaign
so
including
that
is
not
just
the
principles
of
the
affected
schools
and
key
constituencies,
for
example
elected
officials,
but
really
using
that
multiple
channel
modality
that
you
know
dr
biddell
referenced
earlier
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
word
out
to
all
of
our
public
so
that
they're,
aware
of
what's
what
we're
embarking
on
what
the
resources
are,
where
to
be
able
to
find
them,
how
to
utilize
them,
etc.
N
And,
finally,
a
lot
of
the
conversations
have
gone
around
making
sure
that
those
products
are
also
available
to
individuals
who,
in
whose
english
is
not
the
primary
or
or
first
chosen
language.
So
we
want
to
again
make
this
accessible
to
his
broadened
audience
as
possible.
N
N
This
is
going
to
get
important
for
you
in
a
second,
so
we
we
very
purposefully
and-
and
I
know
we
had
a
policy
outreach
or
a
briefing
earlier-
miss
ellis
was
an
active
participant
in
actually
the
comprehensive,
a
comprehensive
re-analysis
and
rewrite
of
our
redistricting
policy
and
regulations
that
were
published
in
february
and
knowing
that
we
had
this
large
project
coming
coming
forward
and
knowing
that
there
were
some
pros
and
cons
of
the
way
we
used
to
do
things
previously
that
we
couldn't
maybe
approach
this
very
large
scale
new
project,
in
the
way
that
we
had
done
some
of
the
more
micro
or
targeted
areas
right,
and
so
we
have
essentially
taken
a
little
bit
of
a
different
approach
to
that
and
we're
proposing
to
utilize
your
citizen
advisory
committee.
N
N
As
you
know,
they
have
representation
of
both
the
elementary
school
as
well
as
secondary
school
level
as
well,
and
they
have
a
more
robust
understanding
of
the
district.
And
I'm
saying
this
in
a
very
nice
way
right,
they're,
very
ingrained:
they
participate
in
policy
committee.
They
participate
in
projects
that
you
assign
to
them.
They
participate
in
these
meetings.
They
participate
in
their
communities,
so
they
are
good
champions
of
the
school
district,
but
they're
also
dialed
into
the
school
district
and
have
I
think,
some
of
that
initial
institutional
knowledge.
N
N
Each
one
of
those
feeder
patterns
have
two
ac
cac
matter:
members
right,
there's
going
to
be
14.,
so
mid-september
we're
going
to
bring
together
the
first
meeting
of
the
citizen
advisory
committee
relative
to
redistricting
we're
going
to
bring
the
14
members
together
and
they're
going
to
receive
an
overview
from
aacps
staff
and
our
consultants
so
wxy
and
pea
we're
going
to
give
them
an
overview
begin
in-servicing
them
on
all
the
material
that
they're
going
to
need
to
be
able
to
be
conversant
in
right.
N
We're
going
to
discuss
things
like
how
are
we
best
going
to
conduct
listening
sessions?
How
are
we
best
going
to
be
able
to
conduct
public
hearings?
How
do
we
best
get
the
most
public
feedback
possible?
Again,
your
cac
members
have
their
ear
to
the
ground
right.
They
know
their
communities.
We
need
to
learn
from
them
right
on
how
to
do
that
better.
The
consultants
clearly
have
done
this
in
many
jurisdictions.
They
bring
a
wealth
of
knowledge
to
the
table.
Our
own
staff
has
done
this
many
times.
N
The
committee
meetings
has
the
committee
meetings
are
going
to
be
made
available
to
the
public
they're
going
to
be
made
available
for
viewing.
Only
this
is
going
to
be
a
business
meeting.
Okay,
I'm
going
to
get
to
the
public
outreach
in
a
second,
so
the
first
meeting
of
the
committee.
They
need
time
to
get
organized.
They
need
time
to
get
up
schooled.
They
need
to
have
organizational
things
right,
they're
going
to
have
to
pick
a
chair.
You
know
amongst
the
committee,
so
they're
going
to
have
a
little
bit
of
work
to
do
too.
N
So
we're
envisioning
that
that
meeting
as
with
all
meetings
are
going
to
be
publicly
accessible,
publicly
viewable,
but
they're
going.
That
is
going
to
be
a
business
meeting.
Okay.
We
are
then,
in
late
september,
going
to
embark
on
some
public
listening
sessions.
N
One
within
our
proposal
is
one
in
each
of
the
seven
clusters
so
we're
going
to
start
there
public
listening
sessions
late
september,
probably
into
very
early
october,
into
seven
clusters,
we're
going
to
invite
parents
and
other
community
stakeholders
all
stakeholders
again.
This
is
going
to
be
carefully
choreographed
and
coordinated
through
mr
mosher.
N
He
and
his
communications
team
again
informed
by
some
of
the
best
practices
that
we
will
pick
up
from
wxy
and
pea,
who
is
pea,
is
a
their
especially
is
public
engagement
or
especially,
is
marketing
outreach,
etc
right,
so
we're
going
to
get
some
of
their
best
practice
knowledge
again,
our
own
team's
knowledge
and
the
cac's
knowledge
to
put
these
listening
system
sessions
together.
One
in
each
of
the
affected
seven
clusters:
the
way
that's
really
gonna
look
is
we're.
Gonna.
N
Have
the
cac
members
present
right,
our
staff,
the
consultants
there
and
the
way
it's
going
to
look
is
there's
going
to
be
a
presentation
first,
so
they're
going
to
get
information
from
the
consultant
and
our
staff
right,
because
we
have
to
convey
that
information
first
to
the
public.
The
cac
members
are
really
going
to
be
the
facilitators.
N
So
the
way
it's
going
to
look
is
the
catc
members
are
going
to
facilitate
the
listening
session
within
their
home
communities
and
that
is
going
to
be
supported
by
our
consultant
staff
and
our
own
facility
staff
as
the
subject
matter.
Experts
for
that
content
piece,
but
the
cac
members
are
really
the
facilitators
for
that.
N
This
is
a
very
complex
thing.
I
want
to
explain
why
we're
doing
this
different
in
days
of
old,
if
you
remember
and
you'll
soon
I'll,
explain
why
that
probably
doesn't
work
so
good
is
we
did
a
major
data
dump
on
these
citizen
and
panel
citizen-led
communities
and
said
kind
of
good
luck,
throw
the
spaghetti
in
the
wall
and
see
what
works
right?
N
This
is
seven
massive
feeder
districts.
It
really
covers.
You
know
the
geographic
mass
of
half
the
county
right.
We
paid.
You
authorized
us
to
hire,
subject
matter,
experts
that
have
done
this
across
the
nation
and
even
here,
regionally
right
to
come
up
with
viable
solution
sets
that
fit
a
host
of
parameters.
N
It's
that
crazy,
multi-variable,
calculus
equation
again
miscellaneous
right
and
the
board
policy
and
reg,
as
you
all
know,
has
a
series
of
factors
that
we
have
to
take
into
account.
The
consultant
obviously
was
privy
to
those
right.
We
shared
all
that,
so
those
are
the
factors
that
are
taken
into
account.
There
they've
developed
two
scenarios,
so
those
scenarios
will
be
presented
right.
The
rationale
will
be
presented
behind
them
and
an
opportunity
right.
This
is
a
listening
session
now
so
now
it's
the
public's
opportunity
to
begin
to
provide
feedback
to
that
feedback's.
N
Not
just
going
to
be
you,
you
attend
a
meeting
and
you
miss
it.
You
lost
your
chance
right,
we're
going
to
have
other
channels
to
get
feedback.
Just
like
you
to
board.
People
can
come
testify
before
you,
but
they
can
get
you
emails
letters
a
lot
of
other
ways.
We
want
as
much
input
as
possible
from
that
we're
going
to
get
all
that
information
and
we're
going
to
record
that
information
right.
We
want
to
archive
it.
N
That's
that's
critical
pieces
of
it
and
it's
not
just
information,
but
that's
going
to
begin
shaping
the
plan
right.
So
after
we've
held
that
first
listening
session,
the
cac
group
will
reconvene
now
for
their
second
meeting.
N
N
We
also
at
that
second
meeting
want
to
begin
formulating
the
strategy
for
community
forums.
N
This
is
going
to
be
different
than
the
listening
sessions
and
I'll
explain
the
the
why
in
a
second
and
again,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we've
comprehensively,
at
least
at
that
point,
taken
stock
of
any
of
the
other
input
or
other
important
information
that
we've
cleaned
those
sessions.
Again.
Just
like
the
first
committee
session
will
be
a
business
meeting.
N
It
will
be
available
for
public
viewing.
It
will
be
recorded
for
folks
that
couldn't
make
it
so
they
can
view
it
afterwards,
but
that
will
not
be
a
time
to
directly
question
the
cac
members
that
is
their
business.
They
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
right.
They
need
that
time
to
get
their
work
done
so
that
second
meeting
of
the
cac
on
redistricting
is
going
to
be
that
sort
of
mid
to
late
october
time
frame
in
the
beginning
of
november.
Then
we
are
going
to
have
a
community
wide.
N
Now,
yes,
will
we
heavily
market
it
to
the
seven
districts
that
are
going
to
be
heavily
impacted
by
this?
Absolutely,
but
does
that
mean
that
somebody
else
who
may
live
in
one
district
and
have
a
magnet
kitten
somewhere
else
or
a
business
member
that
looks
to
have
graduates
or
interns
or
whatever
right?
We
want
input
from
everybody,
so
the
community-wide
forum
is
on
purpose
much
broader
than
the
targeted
listening
sessions.
N
N
We
need
to
get
the
information
out
there
again
make
sure
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
share
that
information
and
then
that's
where
it
flips
and
we
begin
gathering
that
additional
community
feedback
right
from
a
more
broad
basis
on
those
scenarios
that
were
previously
developed
and
or
possibly
refined
by
now-
and
this
will
be
information
not
just
that
my
staff
and
the
consultants
will
be
taken
in,
but
your
cac
members
will
be
taking
that
in
at
the
same
time
right,
so
the
community
forum
should
wrap
up
around
mid
mid-november
and
that's
where
the
third
and
hopefully
final
meeting
with
the
cac
and
redistricting
will
take
place
so
now
we're
in
sort
of
the
late
november
time
frame
that
will
result
review
the
results
of
the
forums
right.
N
We've
already
internalized
the
listening
sessions,
but
we'll
internalize
the
input
that
we've
gathered
from
the
forums
we'll
discuss
any
new
ideas,
any
adjustments
that
are
necessary
any
tweaks
or
out-of-the-box
ideas
to
you
know
that
needs
to
still
be
vetted.
N
N
N
It's
a!
We
want
to
get
it
done
a
year
and
a
half
early,
if
at
all
possible,
so
that
the
community
all
knows
what's
going
to
happen
right,
they
have
the
opportunity
to
make
whatever
adjustments
they
need
to
make
in
a
community
writ
large
could
be
staff
members
could
be,
families
could
be
businesses
right.
Everybody
should
know
what
is
coming
as
part
of
redistricting.
What
the
rollout
plan
is
what
the
timeline
is,
so
that
they
can
again
begin
making
those
informed
decisions,
so
it
would
be
our
preference
if
this
board
could
conclude
their
work.
N
Although
you
have
an
additional
year,
we
would
prefer
that
you
conclude
his
work
this
april
to
best
position
our
public
and
constituents
to
understand
where
things
are
going
to
be
again
with
the
construction
schedule
to
mr
roughly
now
with
that.
Madam
president,
I
think
we
conclude
our
unfortunately
rather
lengthy
remarks
and
we
turn
it
back
to
you.
C
F
Thank
you
for
the
the
presentation
really
appreciated.
I
have
a
question
I
I
I'm
grateful
for
the
information
and
for
the
changes
it's
sort
of
the
sea
changes
you
alluded
to.
I
was
looking
through
the
reg
and
I
just
so
I'm
a
little
confused,
and
maybe
this
is
a
miss
ortiz
question,
but
it
it
said
that
the
superintendent
may
form
a
redistricting
committee
and
then
later
it
says
that
the
redistricting
committee
shall,
which
is
you
know
the
legal
may
shall
difference
be
comprised
of
you
know
three
people
from
each
affected
school.
N
It's
the
same
middle
school,
no
matter
what
same
high
school,
no
matter,
what
we'd
probably
go
down
the
more
traditional
route,
this
level
of
effort,
this
lift
so
the
where,
before
you
stopped
reading,
if
you
went
just
a
little
further,
it
envisions
that
two
are
likely
three
members
of
each
affected
school
yeah
we're
gonna,
have
upwards
of
60
schools
affected
60
times
three.
Can
you
imagine
having
a
committee
of
180
like
where
are
you
going
to.
N
N
That
word
may
the
first
one
that
you
read
there
used
to
say
xiao.
It
was
changed
to
me
on
purpose
with
the
advice
of,
and
it
was
vetted
by
miss
ortiz
who's,
an
attorney
and
by
mr
burns
as
well
to
make
sure
that
a
provided
us
the
flexibility,
but
also
comported
with
the
legal
requirements.
So
we
are
not
following
the
branch
of
the
tree
that
is
still
there
today,
that
is
still
100
viable
and
will
be
used
in
the
future
on
more
compartmentalized
redistricting
activities.
N
F
Really
grateful
for
that
for
that
clarification
just
for
because
I'm
sure
all
of
us
are
going
to
get
that
question.
So
thank
you
and
one
more
tiny
question:
can
you
I'm
just
going
to
read
them?
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
have
them
right.
The
seven
you
were
talking
about
is
old
mill,
mead,
arundel,
save
me
twice.
D
Thank
you.
I
I
do
have
several
questions
and
I
did
submit
some
questions
up
front
to
hope
it
would
all
be
covered,
but
I,
if
you
bear
with
me,
as
you
alluded
to
mr
czech
novice,
I've
been
very,
very
involved
in
this
process.
From
the
time
I
became
a
board
member
and
was
thrown
right
into
a
redistricting
in
my
in
my
community.
Okay,
so
here
goes
okay,
so
to
reiterate,
regulations
do
not
need
to
be
rewritten
to
follow
this
path
that
you
have
laid
before
us.
D
Okay,
another
really,
I
believe,
quick,
easy
one.
Press
release
went
out
and
I
I'm
sorry
again.
I
have
so
many
documents.
I
I
thought
the
cover
sheet
I
saw
did
not
have
a
rundle
on
it,
but
we're
opening
a
new
elementary
school.
You.
D
D
D
N
D
But
then
so
many
questions,
I'm
sorry.
So
when
will
families
know
what
schools
in
the
arundel
cluster
are
being
considered
to
be
impacted.
N
When
the
website
goes
up
and
the
draft
bottles
that
the
consultant
has
come
up
with,
etc,
I
mean
it's
again
fully
fully
transparent
right.
I
mean
all
everything's
going
to
be
available
on
the
website.
Everything's
going
to
be
discussed
at
their
cluster
specific
listening
sessions.
N
Their
cac
members
will
be
fully
involved
in
the
whole
process
from
the
beginning
to
the
end,
when
I
contemplate,
when
we
get
to
that
point,
hopefully,
no
later
in
april,
the
board
probably
is
going
to
be
looking
at
taking
is
to
splitting
split
the
vote,
and
by
that
I
mean
you're,
probably
going
to
have
a
seminal
question.
D
Okay
and
then
one
more
little
question
before
I
have
a
really
big
one
that
I
need
to
dig
into.
So
I
recall
when
we
did
this
when
I
was
a
new
member
was
for
opening
a
new
school.
It
was
two
years
before
the
school
was
opening
that
we
did
the
redistricting.
D
Just
like
this
scenario,
and
there
were
questions
the
the
language
of
I
think
the
state
law
and
and
and
the
policy
made
it.
In
other
words,
we
don't
have
to
get
this
done.
It
would
be
better
for
the
community
you're
suggesting
we
don't
have
to
get
this
done
by
april,
but
because
the
policy-
and
I
believe
the
law
mentioned
specifically
april
it
made
it
seem
like
we
couldn't
continue
the
process.
D
Okay,
now
the
new
policy
and
the
same
language
is
written
in
the
regulation.
The
superintendent
shall
conduct
a
periodic
system-wide
review
of
attendance
areas.
N
D
Okay,
so
I
think
two
more
questions
I
am
going
to
have
a
statement
later
after
questions
are
done.
Two
more
questions
when
we
opened
a
new
school
a
couple
of
years
ago,
and
students
were
drawn
from
two
of
our
high
schools.
N
N
We
staff
actually
started
this
journey
way
before
we
even
brought
the
contract
to
you
right,
so
this
project
really
has
to
do
with
that
with
the
upper
you
know,
third
of
the
county,
or
so
first
piece
of
information.
So
timing
matters
right,
so
are
we
going
to
do
that
comprehensive
look?
Should
we
be
doing
that?
Yes,
is
that
part
of
this
project?
No,
that's
not
part
of
this
project.
N
At
the
moment.
Second
thing
is
when
we
go
back
to
the
redistricting
that
you're
referring
to,
and
that
was
really
really
targeted
at
creating
the
attendance
zones
for
the
crofton
school
which
drew
at
that
time
drew
from
both
arundel
and
south
river.
N
We
said
that
that
would
create
the
that
once
the
crofton
school
got
fully
populated
and
they
this
is
the
first
year
now
just
last
week
that
they're
nine
through
12,
that
we
would
look
at
actually
two
opportunities
back,
then
one
opportunity
was
to
say:
okay,
given
the
space
that's
been
created
now
at
both
south
river
high
school
and
at
arundel
high
school
through
the
opening
of
crofton,
could
we
do
redistricting
action?
N
That
was
one
of
the
possibilities.
The
second
possibility
is
that
it
is.
It
was
my
understanding.
It
still
remains
unless
it's
changed
that
we
wanted
to
explore
the
option
of
creating
additional
magnets.
We
were
on
a
pathway
where
we
had
completed
the
initial
magnet
rollout
plan
that
took
us
15
years
or
so
that
we
were
again.
This
is
under
previous
leadership.
Dr
bedell
said
this.
You.
T
N
N
So
what
comes
next
and
we
basically
are
in
a
way
at
a
little
bit
of
a
fork
of
a
road
in
that
we
do
need
to
determine
right,
because
I
know,
for
example,
we
talked
about
opening
up
a
I'm
going
to
call
computer
science
from
old
school,
but
computer
science
tech.
Whatever
you
know,
magnet,
we
talked
about
a
grow,
your
own
education
teacher,
magnet
right,
they
need
homes,
they
need
homes
and
if
you
give
away
the
real
estate,
you
now
don't
have
a
home
for
it.
N
N
The
benefits
of
magnets,
as
we
all
know,
not
just
does
it
sort
of
expand
our
palette
of
of
educational
opportunities,
but
the
two
ways
to
balance
the
balance.
Enrollment,
it's
really
a
push-pull
thing
right:
either
you
can
create
a
magnet
and
through
voluntary
you
know,
and
voluntary
enrollment.
You
can
draw
kids
into
it.
That's
one
way
to
bring
kids
into
a
school,
potentially
arundel
right
or
you
do
a
redistricting
and
you
push
kids
into
the
school
either
way
you're
bringing
youngsters
into
the
school
and
relieving
some
of
the
pressure
in
surrounding
areas.
N
Magnets
traditionally
have
been
a
broader
right,
a
broader
footprint,
whereas
redistricting
has
been
sort
of
a
more
tighter,
more
focused
thing.
So
so
my
answer
is,
I
think
we
have
to
answer
a
couple
questions
and
then
the
answers
to
those
questions
is
going
to
guide
the
way
forward
on
the
next
steps
of
this
of
this
body,
writ
large
board,
superintendent
staff,
etc.
D
Okay,
thank
you.
I'm
just
gonna
leave
a
question
I
think
on
the
table,
because
I
don't
think
it
can
be
answered
right
now
and
again.
I
do
have
a
statement
and
the
question
is:
where
do
we
go
from
here
if
we
are
not
comfortable
and
by
the
way?
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
thinking
through
this
process,
because
I
love
the
idea
of
using
the
cac.
D
I
guess
I
have
another
minor
concern:
you're
you're,
obligating
particular
members
to
this
committee,
who
maybe
don't
have
the
time
so
that
has
to
be
considered
as
far
as
they
have
to
have
an
alternate
right,
but
I
love
the
idea
of
using
them.
As
as
our
committee,
I
have
concerns
and
I'm
going
to
speak
about
it,
but
it
sounds
to
me,
like
some
decisions
have
to
be
made
quickly
before
we
get
too
far
down
this
path.
C
What
fork
we're
gonna
take
right.
I
believe
ms
corcodell
was
next.
V
Thank
you,
president
tobin,
a
couple
quick
points
that
was
a
lot
to
cover
and
I
look
forward
to
getting
some
of
the
details
that
you
guys
are
rattling
off
there.
But
in
general,
one
of
the
concerns
that
was
raised
was
in
the
last
redistricting
process
and
I
know
the
passion
of
our
parents
and
our
communities,
and
especially
when
we're
talking
about
you
know
dividing
lines
in
the
middle
of
communities
which
occasionally
happen
and
and
how
how
to
fix
that.
And
everybody
wants
the
shiny
new
school
right.
V
You
always
have
that
some
of
those
pushes
in
the
in
the
interest
of
advocating
some
of
our
volunteers
experienced
a
lot
of
aggressive
threatening
sort
of
discourse
with
the
general
population
and
some
included
some
some
pretty
significant
ones
as
well.
And
although
our
former
chair
of
that
committee
for
crofton,
for
example,
handled
it
very
well
with
lots
of
grace,
I'd
like
to
see
that
not
happen
again
and
outside
of
pleading
with
our
parents
for
reasonable,
rational
behavior.
V
Is
there
a
way
we
can
set
up
email
structures
for
them,
or
you
know
some
sort
of
a
couple,
more
dedicated
things
and
insulate
them
from
their
private
emails
and
in
social
media?
I
know
we're
even
more
limited,
but
at
the
very
least
on
the
emails,
because
I
am
a
little
concerned,
the
this
level
of
passion
for
redistricting.
It
gets
intense
and
you
say,
redistricting
to
any
school
board
member
anywhere
in
the
nation
and
they
all
cringe
man,
because
it
really
is
intense
and
it's
even
more.
V
So
I
think,
for
our
volunteers
is
they're
hashing
out
those
details
and
they're
kind
of
out
there
for
us,
and
I
think
we
have
an
obligation
to
to
step
up
for
them
and
so,
as
we
work
through,
if
there's
any
additional
resources,
I
just
thought
of
email
at
the
right
of
the
top
of
my
head,
having
been
shared
a
couple
that
were
sent
to
some
of
our
volunteers
during
the
last
round
and
and
other
things
too,
I
know
there's
other
devices
and
ways
we
can
do
that,
but
is
are
those
things
that
you
guys
are
gonna,
maybe
work
through
and
figure
out,
because
it
can
be
quite
a
bit
for
a
volunteer.
V
N
Three
three
things
one
I
I
wish
I
would
have
videotaped
our
superintendent
two
weeks
ago
when
he
spoke
loudly
about
civility
and
in
the
way
folks
comport
themselves
and
present
themselves
and
interact
with
others
right.
The
part
about
you
know
disagreeing
without
being
disrespectful
or
disagreeable
right.
So
that's,
I
think,
that's
one.
I
think
I
think
that
messaging
needs
to
needs
to
go
out.
That's
one,
two,
the
consultants
we're
dealing
with
that.
N
I
happen
to
say
that
they
just
wrapped
up
prince
george's,
montgomery,
yeah,
really
big
places
with
very
I'm
sure,
equally
passionate
vested
citizenry
right.
So
we
are,
we
are
hoping
to
learn
from
them
and
some
of
those
strategies
that
you
talked
about
are
certainly
things
we
would.
We
would
like
to
utilize
to
the
extent
that
they
are
appropriate
here.
N
But
the
third
thing
I
want
to
say
is
this:
that
we
got
to
be
careful
because
we
don't
want
to
stifle
public
input.
We
don't
want
to
be
accused
of
stifling
public
voice
right,
I
mean
this
is
like
you
said.
This
is
the
third
rail
of
school
board.
Leadership
right
and
folks
are
passionate
and
invested
into
it.
We
got
to
make
sure
that
we
balance
making
sure
that
we've
got
access
and
voice
and
agency
in
the
decision-making
process,
while
yes,
making
sure
that
we
protect
the
process,
protect
the
people
right
and.
K
V
N
Y
Multiple
modes
that
people
can
tran
communicate
with
us
via
that
website,
so
there
will
be
an
email
associated
with
that
website.
There
will
be
surveys
that
folks
can
take
to
voice
their
opinions
and
concerns,
and
then
there'll
be
plenty
of
opportunity
to
review
video
of
prior
meetings
and
then
also
participate
and
know
when
future
meetings
are
going
to
take
place.
Yeah.
V
I
think
it
was
that
you
know
at
some
point
I
I
don't
know
if
it
came
from
the
members
of
the
committee
or
a
combination,
probably
them
more
than
anything
else,
trying
to
be
helpful,
handing
out
the
personal
emails
and
that's
where
it
started
getting
a
little
bit.
You
know
crazier,
perhaps
as
it
related,
especially
with
the
chair
and
that
the
one
other
member
yeah.
Y
V
Great,
thank
you.
I
do
have
just
one
one
more
and
it's
a
compound
question,
so
my
apologies
there,
but
it
is
directly
related,
so
I
I
guess
pandemic
related.
We
never
the
board,
never
did
receive
the
census
report
that
I
believe
the
county
and
the
state
were
providing
school
boards.
V
So
as
they
start
to
plan
for
what
the
projections
of
population
are
the
realignment-
and
this
is
data-
I
think
the
timeliness
of
this
is
is
critical
and
I
know
I
I've
made
a
recommendation
to
my
fellow
colleagues
to
to
receive
that
information,
whether
it's
in
presentation
or
just
in
physical
form,
for
us
to
review.
I
would
be
fine
with
that.
N
N
So
chunks
of
that
information
are
out,
parts
of
it
have
not
been
issued
yet
because
some
of
it
is
being
challenged
and
because
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
are
happening
happening
in
other
areas
nationally,
the
census
bureau
hasn't
been
able
to
finish
all
and
compile
and
issue
the
full
report,
so
parts
of
it
are
available.
Parts
of
it
are
not.
I
will
tell
you
that
our
partners
in
county
government
are
much
more
heavily
dialed
into
that
than
we
are,
and
we've
actually
been
getting
some
of
our
information
from
them
more
directly.
N
V
So
we're
at
ground
zero
with
none
here,
and
I
think
when
we
talk
about
redistricting
in
particular,
I
I
think
understanding
not
just
the
new
number
of
where
we
truly
are,
but
also
you
know
where
we
are
projected
to
be,
because
when
we
start
discussing
the
nuances
of
what
do
we
do
with
the
200
seats
at
south
river
that
vacated
283
or
what
it
whatever
that
amount
was
or
projected
amount.
V
I
don't
know
what
the
final
ended
up
being
when
they
shifted
back
into
crofton
back
to
their
home
that
we
discussed,
as
you
had
mentioned,
and
just
reported
to
ms
ellis
that
you
know
well.
That
may
provide
opportunities
to
expand
a
magnet
program
that
has
thousands
of
kids
on
on
a
wait
list
every
year
and
as
well
as
create
new
opportunities
that
our
ecap
programs
cannot
fully
provide
for
any
others
for
careers.
V
But
I
really
think
it
would
be
helpful
to
get
that
data
and
some
similar
of
what
our
projections
are
for
growth,
because
I'm
a
little
hesitant
on
the
south
river,
because
I
know
initially,
we
were
projected
to
grow
at
a
very
small
rate.
I'm
seeing
that
get
increase
a
lot
faster
and
and
it's
incidental,
but
I
know
how
to
look
at
the
incidental-
I
I
think,
maybe
in
the
months
well,
you
guys
are
working
on
the
maps
we
could
be
getting
that
and
for
me,
is
that
information
that
yeah.
N
Here's
what
I'll
tell
you
and-
and
some
of
you
guys
maybe
may
be
happy
about
this
kyle-
and
I
are
some
of
you-
may
cringe
in
about
a
second.
But
if
you
go
back
to
some
of
your
high
school
courses,
you
had
this,
you,
you
had
a
module
in
algebra
or
calculus
that
was
best
fit
curve
right
in
our
line
of
business.
N
You
never
you
never
bank,
the
farm
on
one
data
set,
so
us
the
county
government,
the
consultants
have
access
to
multiple
data
sets
not
just
a
census
bureau,
but
we
have
multiple
data
resources
that
overlay
and
provide
a
more
robust
picture,
and
then
they
use
the
the
you
know
machine
algorithms
to
identify,
basically,
where
is
kind
of
the
best
fit
right.
What
are
all
those
data
points
telling
you
from
all
that
digesting
all
that?
N
What
is
the
most
reliable
composite
and
we
are
again
heavily
relying
on
the
consultants
to
do
that,
but
we
do
that
ourselves.
If
you
go
look
in
your
master
plan,
you
will
see
in
the
index
the
list
of
sources
the
reference
sources
that
we
used
to
come
up
with
our
projections,
and
you
will
see
that
the
census
bureau
information
is
just
one
bullet,
there's
about
nine
or
ten
others
below
that.
N
You
know.
We
use
everything
from
both
birth
rate
from
the
health
department
to
tremendous
amount
of
information
that
we
get
from
the
state
department
of
planning.
Do
we
get
the
county?
You
know
planning
and
zoning
office?
Do
we
get
from
in
and
out
migration
data
that
we
get
through
the
realtor
sector
or
the
the
commerce
department
here
in
the
states?
So
it
is
not.
It
would
be
very
dangerous
to
hang
your
hat
on
just
one
piece
of
data.
B
V
N
T
N
V
Yeah,
I
was
just
using
it
as
an
example
that
we
need
that
type.
I
would
suggest,
maybe
perhaps
the
the
form,
I'm
not
concerned
about
the,
how
many
you
need
there,
but
just
having
those
summaries
in
our
hand
early
enough,
because
some
of
the
challenges
are
is
when
we're
having
conversations
with
communities
on
our
end
and
teeing
up.
You
know
the
opportunities
to
have
the
discussions.
V
It's
helpful
to
know
where
my
school's
going
to
be
at
five
years
from
now,
or
at
least
where
we
anticipate
it
to
be
at.
We
know
that
number
changes
literally
every
single
month,
but
overall,
knowing
that
projection
to
understand
the
try
to
put
a
band-aid
on
an
immediate
problem,
creating
that
larger
impact
that
we
will
not
be
able
to
unwind
easily
in
the
future,
because
I
believe
our
goal
isn't
to
spread
the
pain
but
to
eliminate
the
pain
from
those
experiencing
it,
not
at
the
expense
of
other
students
and
other
other
schools.
V
In
the
interest
of
alleviating
to
the
sum
and
crowding
out
the
schools,
when
our
objective
with
the
blueprint
and
where
maryland's
moving
to
and
where
we
are,
is
going
to
be
there,
so
any
data
I'd
that
you
know
whatever
the
format
that
you
guys
are
using
the
outcome,
I
don't
you
know,
I
don't
need
a
thousand
graphs.
I
just
need
to
kind
of
know
my
projections.
I.
N
Think
I
kind
of
got
that
for
you,
though,
so
I
mean
you're
one.
We
kind
of
create
a
one-stop
shopping
solution
for
you
that
you
actually
vote
on
in
june,
which
is
the
education
facility
master
plan
correct.
It
has
basically
10
years
looking
backwards
data
and
then
has
10
years
looking
forward
data
and
remember
that
that
master
plan
is
not
just
you
know,
prepared
by
staff,
utilizing
all
that
input
and
voted
on
by
this
board.
That
plan
is
then
sent
to
the
maryland
state
department
of
planning
and
the
anne
arundel
county
office
of
planning
zoning.
N
Those
two
entities
independently
review,
that
plan
review
the
data
review,
the
computations
included
upon
that,
and
then
they
either
put
their
stamp
of
approval
right.
So
you
have
x2
external
validation
or
vetting
sources
on
that,
or
they
have
questions
or
concerns
or
require
modifications
right.
So
that
is
the
place
that
I
think
we
draw
that
information
together
and
not
just
share
it
with
you
and
your
colleagues,
but
it's
available
on
the
website.
We
reference
it
all
the
time
it
is
sort
of
that
common
data
set.
N
That
should
be
the
platform
from
which
all
of
our
discussions
are
taken
taken
place
and
again
it's
annually
redone,
so
no
later
than
every
june,
it
is
redone.
So
it
is
continuously
going
through
this
iterative.
Reevaluation
refinement
taken
into
account
any
new
input
data
that
we
get
from
that
multitude
of
sources.
So
I
would,
I
would
urge
you
and
the
general
public
to
first
start
shopping
at
the
education
facility
master
plan,
rather
than
taking
a
look
at
birth
and
cohort
survival
rates
of
infants
from
the
maryland
state
department
of
health.
We
do
that.
V
I
don't
need
to
know
that
you're
absolutely
right.
I
just
want
to
I
I
guess,
because
when
we
started
to
get
into
alternatives
and
it's
it's
inevitable
with
redistricting,
I
just
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
stay
on
the
same
data
structures
together,
because
all
of
a
sudden
we
started
seeing
alternative
numbers
crunching.
I'm.
O
C
Are
questions
these
are
conversations
I
think
that
can
continue.
I
know
mr
silkworth
has
been
waiting
and
I
know
there
are
comments
afterwards.
I
would
like
to
call
a
20-minute
lunch
break
after
this
item.
It's
my
understanding.
The
other
two
will
be
slightly
shorter,
but
I
would
just
remind
colleagues
to
keep
their
comments
as
brief
as
they
can.
G
Thank
you
so
alex
I
might
be
able
to
answer
a
question
earlier
that
was
brought
up
about
the
history.
G
I
go
back
50
years
and
I
have
no
recollection
of
any
comprehensive
redistricting
over
the
past
50
years,
and
I
I
think
I'm
pretty
pretty
accurate
about
that.
Having
said
that,
this
I'm
very
happy
about
the
cic.
I
think
that's
marvelous.
G
G
In
terms
of
this
being
limited
to
the
seven
clusters,
we
have
some
schools
that
are
way
over
capacity.
We
have
some
schools
that
are
way
under
capacity
and
some
of
the
schools
that
are
under
capacity
and
over
capacity
are
outside
of
these
seven
schools
here.
So
I
heard
you
say
this:
you
don't
think
it's
a
good
idea
for
us
to
do
a
comprehensive
re
or
redistricting,
including
with
this
project.
G
That's
what
I
heard
so
do
you
have
a
suggestion
about
what
we
should
do,
because
we
have
to
do
something
about
those
10
000
seats.
If
you
have
a
school,
that's
79
versus
a
school,
that's
107
or
whatever.
We
have
to
do
something
about
that,
and
so
you
say
we
do
have
like
a
year
as
a
grace.
N
So
you
asked
me
for
a
suggestion:
here's
my
suggestion,
a
suggestion
is
that
you
do
this
and
you
knock
out
seven
of
your
clusters
right.
Six
of
these
seven
clusters
are
completely
comprehensive
as
deep
a
dives
you
could
possibly
get
so
whether
you
argue,
if
that's
six
or
seven-
but
let's
say
it's
six-
be
conservative
right.
This
takes
care
of
half
your
county,
basically
doing
this
step
one.
N
My
suggestion
is
you
get
this
done
by
this
april
because
I
think
that's
what's
best
for
the
public
to
give
them
the
most
heads
up
on
huge
implications
right
step,
one
step:
two:
you
have
a
new
superintendent.
The
new
superintendent
is
working
with
you
to
create
his
vision.
Right,
he's
already
shared
with
you,
his
100-day
plan
from
there
that's
going
to
be
a
springboard
to
a
conversation
that
school
system
leadership
should
have
a
board
leadership.
N
I
reference
an
unfinished
conversation.
Are
we
going
to
do
more
magnets
or
not?
Are
there
going
to
be
some
other
flavors
of
schools
right
there
and
it's
not
just
magnets
right,
they're,
montessori
schools,
you
name
it
there's
a
palette
of
school
types
that
we
can
have.
I
think
you
should
have
that
conversation
with
the
superintendent.
I
think,
while
this
is
going
on,
you
spend
that
this
next
year,
having
that
conversation,
okay
and
then
out
of
that,
if
you
finish
this
work
by
this
april,
guess
what
you
have
nothing
to
do
for
next
april.
G
Opinion:
okay,
thank
you
and
for
board
members.
I
had
an
apf
meeting
yesterday
and
I
do
have
some
of
the
data
that
was
presented
that
ms
corker
was
was
looking
for,
that
I
can
share.
C
D
No
more
questions;
okay,
thank
you
and
sorry.
I'm
pulling
up
the.
D
Policy
again
here
it
is
and
sorry
I
when
I
said
I
had
a
statement.
I
wish
it
had
been
a
prepared
statement.
I
I
just
jotted
down
some
notes
for
bear
with
me
for
a
moment.
So
again,
the
policy
and
regulations
were
recently
revised.
There
was
a
reason
that
the
policy
committee
took
this
on
and
the
board
passed
this
new
policy,
and
there
was
a
reason
that
the
piece
of
the
policy
that
I
read
a
little
while
ago
about
a
comprehensive
review
was
written
in
to
that
policy.
D
D
D
This
is
not
going
to
be
a
very
popular
opinion
with
I'm
sure
many
communities,
and
I
understand
why
we
all
I'm
a
parent.
We
all
are
very
passionate
about
giving
our
own
children
the
very
best
opportunities.
D
So
I'm
going
to
be
blunt,
I'm
not
here
to
get
elected
again,
I'm
here
to
carry
out
the
duties
I
was
elected
to
carry
out
and
giving
every
student.
The
very
best
opportunity
for
a
world-class
education
is
what
I
believe
I
was
elected
to
do,
and
that
is
why
that
is
the
first
position
statement
in
the
redistricting
policy.
D
So
as
far
as
those
school
programs,
mr
czech
novice,
you
mentioned
the
magnets,
I'm
a
magnet
parent.
All
four
of
my
students
have
taken
advantage
of
magnet
programs.
I'm
happy
that
we
have
them.
D
D
D
If
we
did
this
in
a
phased
process
again,
given
that
this
has
not
been
been
done
in
this
county
for
as
long
as
anyone
can
remember,
we're
all
aware,
we've
all
heard
from
communities
where
there
are
boundaries
that
simply
don't
make
sense,
because
it's
been
done
piecemeal
for
so
many
years
and
absolutely
every
time
we
need
to
move
students
from
one
school
to
another
doesn't
mean
we
have
to
look
at
the
whole
county.
D
I
agree
with
that,
but
we're
not
going
to
get
this
opportunity
again
for
the
foreseeable
future,
and
so
I'm
making
the
statement.
I
don't
know
what's
next,
I
don't
know
how
we
go
from
the
plan
that
was
laid
before
us
to
stepping
it
up
to
a
county-wide,
and
so
I'm
not
going
to
make
any
kind
of
motion
right
now,
because
I
I
just
don't
I
like
I,
I
would
need
our
attorney
involved
to
help
me
with
emotion,
but
this
is
very
important
that
we
get
this
right.
D
We
have
the
time
so
I'm
I
I
guess
I
will
be
speaking
further
with
our
president,
our
superintendent
on
what's
next
for
this
board
to
at
least
take
this
topic
one.
Thank
you.
C
C
Are
there
additional
statements
or
questions?
I
would
like
to
call
a
20-minute
recess
for
lunch.
Did
you
have
anything
further
gentlemen
that
you
wanted
to
add?
Thank
you
a
reminder
that
we
still
have
a
fair
amount
on
the
docket.
So
I'd
like
to
keep
this
to
20
minutes,
so
it's
254
now
so
to
24.
To
14..
Am
I
yeah
3
14.?
Forgive
me
it's
late.

C
For
another
episode,
all
right,
so
we
will
be
moving
on
now
to
item
5.02
fiscal
year,
2024
capital
budget
and
six-year
plan
capital,
imp
improvement
plan,
dr
bedell.
J
All
right,
so
I
will
pass
this
over
to
alex
and
team,
and
this
should
be
a
pretty
quick
overview.
N
N
This
is
a
plan
that
is
required
to
be
submitted
to
the
state
no
later
than
october,
4th
of
2022
this
year
we
will
have
the
opportunity
to
meet
at
6
p.m.
On
september,
the
19th
to
do
a
deep
dive,
an
in-depth
work
session,
where
the
board
will
get
a
thorough
presentation
regarding
the
subject
matter
and
have
ample
opportunities,
interact
with
staff
and
get
questions
answered.
N
We
will
appear
back
before
this
body
again
on
the
21st
of
september,
where
the
board
will
hold
a
public
hearing
relative
to
the
capital
budget.
There
will
be
again
an
opportunity
for
questions
and
answers,
but
at
this
time
that
concludes
our
presentation
and
there
is
no
actions
required
today.
C
Okay,
thank
you,
ms
scholheim,
do
you
have
a
question.
F
Yes,
just
help
me
out
with
the
acronyms
on
page:
well,
the
last
one:
what's
an
apologies,
if
I've
seen
this
before,
I
don't
recall,
mdc
and
mcc
and
p-a-f-a
what
what
are
those
all
mean:
oak
hill,
elementary.
Y
F
N
V
Yeah
just
kind
of
a
request.
I
know
some
of
our
recurring
projects
and
I
know
you
guys
normally
do
this,
but
I
would
specifically
ask
because
a
lot
of
times
we
do
glaze
over
it.
But
I
do
have
some
interest
in
the
athletic
stadium
improvements,
and
so
if
we
could
get
a
detailed
list
of
what
the
projected
allocations
would
be
going
to.
V
Yes,
during
the
workshop,
that
would
be
great
and
no
surprise,
but
just
to
advise
my
colleagues
I
do
have.
There
is
a
strong
interest
of
the
south
county
community
in
exploring
the
assurance
that
they
get
the
second
turf,
particularly
because
we
don't
have
the
availability
of
wrecks
and
parks,
resources
that
we
do
in
other
parts
of
the
county,
and
so
I'd
like
to
just
kind
of
see
the
snapshot
of
that,
as
well
as
the
playground
equipment
improvements
is
and
what
we
have
slated
on.
C
F
Sorry
also,
what
is
wwtp
chesapeake.
T
J
J
We
have
two
additional
senior
level
staff
members
who
will
come
up
and
present
this
to
you
all
and
just
to
give
you
some
some
context.
We
had
a
number
of
days
last
year
where
school
was
canceled
and
ultimately
that
resulted
in
us
having
to
be
in
school
a
little
bit
longer
than
intended.
It
also
resulted
in
the
school
district,
well,
students
only
having
a
month
between
last
school
year
and
going
into
this
school
year,
and
I
know
that
there
were
several
concerns
or
some
comments
that
came
up
about
don't
take
away
snow
days.
J
I
think
what
you
will
hear
in
this
plan
is
that
isn't
the
intent
of
the
school
district,
but
we
also
have
a
responsibility
to
try
to
not
go
into
people's
summer
plans,
while
also
still
allowing
for
us
to
deliver
instruction,
but
also
make
sure
that
there
is
built-in
time
for
students
and
families
to
also
enjoy
these
inclement
days,
and
we
think
we
have
a
plan
that
we
would
like
to
present
initially
today.
That
will
then
allow
for
us
to
get
additional
feedback
before
there
is
a
vote
to
take
action
on
it.
Z
So,
thank
you,
dr
bedell.
Good
afternoon,
president
tobin
vice
president
silkworth
members
of
the
board
for
the
record
bob
mosher
chief
communications
officer,
and
here
with
maureen
mcmahon,
deputy
superintendent,
academics
and
strategic
initiatives
to
present
item
5.03.
As
dr
bedell
said,
we
do
have
a
plan
for
virtual
day
instructions.
There
is
a
pathway
that
msde
has
created
to
allow
systems
to
do
this.
That
will
enable
systems
to
repurpose
days
as
they
call
it
and
thus
save
days
on
the
end
of
the
year.
Z
So
I'll
walk
a
little
bit
through
msd's
plan
and
then
tell
you
what
our
version
of
it
is.
So
msde
allows
school
systems
up
to
eight
days,
either
synchronous
or
asynchronous
as
long
as
no
more
than
three
of
them
are
asynchronous,
so
you
can
have.
You
can
have
more
than
five
synchronous,
but
you
can't
have
any
more
than
three
asynchronous.
Z
The
use
of
a
virtual
day
for
any
greater
great
band
is,
does
count
as
one
of
those
eight.
So,
for
example,
if
you
wanted
to
use
them
use
a
virtual
day
for
on
a
day
where
you
had
kindergarten
conferences,
for
example,
that
would
count
as
one
of
your
eight.
Your
synchronous
days
have
to
include
at
least
four
hours
of
virtual
instruction
for
all
students,
and
we
have
a
plan
to
do
that.
Z
We
did
that
last
year
and
the
year
before
there
will
be
attendance
taken
for
both
students
and
teachers
to
ensure
the
fidelity
of
instruction.
Msde
is
very
clear
that
virtual
days
cannot
negatively
impact
the
student's
grade.
That
doesn't
mean
they
can't
do
poorly
on
an
assignment,
but
the
fact
that
a
student
couldn't
access
something
as
an
example
can't
automatically
result
in
a
missed
assignment.
Z
You
heard
some
discussion
earlier
about
snow
days
I'll
get
to
that
one
in
a
second,
but
there
are
some
additional
days
that
msde
says
you
can
consider
parent-teacher
conference
days
staff
development
days
religious
observance
days.
There
is
one
school
system
that
I
know
of
that
is
repurposing
election
day
and
having
a
virtual
dan
election
day.
So
we
had
this
conversation
with
dr
bedell,
who
decided
that
for
this
year,
given
the
timing
that
we're
in
it
would
be
best
to
focus
solely
on
inclement
weather
days,
and
so
that's
the
way
we've
we've
built
this
plan.
Z
So
dr
bedell
mentioned
this,
but
this
is
a
multi-step
process.
We'll
present
this
to
you
today,
we
will
put
it
out
for
public
comment
on
friday.
It
will
stay
out
for
10
days
and
we'll
come
back
to
you
with
that
comment
on
the
21st
of
september.
Z
That's
your
next
meeting
and
we'll
then
present
it
to
to
msde
there's
a
bunch
of
attestations
and
those
kinds
of
things
that
dr
mcmahon
and
I
guess
we'll
have
to
have
to
make
sure
that
we
are
in
compliance
with
so
our
plan
students
in
grades
three
through
twelve
and
all
instructional
staff,
will
be
asked
to
take
their
devices
home
daily.
We've
already
begun
that
schools
are
already
reminding
students
to
do
that.
Kindergartners
through
second
graders,
as
you
know,
have
devices
at
home
and
don't
bring
them
back
and
forth.
Z
So
that's
not
an
issue
so
how
it
will
work
in
practicality.
It
will
be
up
to
dr
bedell
to
decide
whether
we're
going
to
convert
a
day.
So,
as
you
heard
ms
disney
bates
say
earlier
right,
we
may
have
a
good
old-fashioned
snow
day
right.
That
certainly
could
happen
if
you
have
a
snowstorm
that
we
have
lots
of
power
outages.
For
example,
that's
a
that's
an
easy
one
that
may
result
in
just
a
snow
day,
and
the
superintendent
will
also
decide
whether
the
instruction
will
be
synchronous
or
asynchronous.
Z
Z
Whether
a
day
is
synchronous
or
asynchronous.
It
counts
both
as
a
teacher
workday
and
as
a
student
instructional
day,
so
we're
keeping
on
track
there
whenever
possible.
We
will
tell
people
in
advance
right.
So
if
the
forecast,
as
we
sit
here
on
wednesday,
is
for
friday,
thursday
night
to
be
a
big
snowstorm
right,
we
may
push
out
communication
says
if
it
snows
on
thursday
night
as
expected
and
friday,
we
can't
get
into
schools.
It
will
be
a
virtual
day.
Z
It
will
be
synchronous
right,
that's
not
always
going
to
be
able
to
happen
because
weather
is
weather
in
maryland,
right,
that's
sort
of
how
that
works.
Wait!
Five
minutes,
that's
exactly
right
to
minute.
This
is
a
decision
that
we
have
made
to
minimize
adverse
impact
on
any
one
marking
period.
We
would
limit
the
days
to
in
that
marking
period
to
three.
We
don't
really
see
that
that's
going
to
be
a
problem
right
I
mean
the
third
marking
period
begins
at
the
end
of
january.
Z
The
fourth
marking
period
begins
in
april,
but
the
issue
is,
if
you
have
too
many
in
one
day
and
you
can
end
up
with
a
skewed
short
marking
period,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
go
there,
so
it
just
has
one
other
reminder
I
meant
to
say
at
the
outset.
So
as
we
talk
about
shortening
the
school
year,
the
school
year
is
supposed
to
end
on
the
16th
of
june
this
year,
and
there
are
three
inclement
weather
days
built
in.
Z
C
I'm
sorry,
I
believe,
miss
ellis.
Your
life
was.
D
D
Just
very
quickly,
so
I'm
thinking.
D
Z
J
B
Z
System
did
but,
but
I
don't
want
people
to
think
that
we
can
suddenly
shave
a
week
and
a
half
off
the
end
of
the
school
year,
and
the
reason
is
that
you
have
three
days
built
on
the
end.
But
if
you
used
all
eight
as
virtual
well
right
now,
you're
using
all
eight
as
in
person,
so
a
school
day
is
still
a
school
day.
You
would
only
take
the
three
off
the
end.
D
Right,
okay,
so
it's
up
to
it's
our
discretion
when
we
use
those.
If
if
we
want
to
just
say,
have
fun
and
go
play
kids,
we
can
do
that,
but
then
we
won't
be
able
to
shave
that
day
off.
That's.
Z
So
the
conversation
we
had,
if
you
want
me
to
address
this,
the
conversation
we
had
is
the
timing
of
this
in
september
and
people
who
have
built
their
schedules
already
right.
You
remember
the
many
conversations
we
had
last
year
about
trying
to
come
up
with
days
right
would
be
would
result
in
some
significant
confusion
on
the
part
of
families.
Right
as
we
start,
let's
just
take
I'll
use
election
day
right.
If
we
all
of
a
sudden
said
well,
there's
going
to
be
school
on
election
day.
Z
So
now
we
have
to
set
up
synchronous
instruction
or
asynchronous
instruction
and
families
remember,
or
they
don't
remember,
and
so
that's
a
conversation
we'll
have
with
the
calendar
committee
as
we
convene
them.
This
fall
for
next
year,
although
I
have
to
tell
you
in
all
honesty,
this
plan
by
msde
is
for
this
year.
Z
J
Yeah,
but
it
definitely
keeps
us
clean
and
if
we're
seeing
our
sole
focus
is
to
utilize
these
days
for
inclement
weather
days,
then
that
that
eliminates
any
any
nebulous
thoughts
that
people
may
have
around.
Why
aren't
you
using
it
for
this
or
that,
but
I
do
agree.
It
is
a
conv,
a
deeper
conversation
that
needs
to
happen
with
the
calendar
committee
for
the
future.
How
do
we
leverage
these
days
if
there
are
some
other
ways
that
we
can
use
them
right.
D
I
I
see
ms
ortiz
in
the
audience
so
if,
if
I
speak
out
of
turner
incorrectly,
if
you
could
just
give
me
a
little
wave
my
understanding,
so
I
I
took
some
recommendations
from
the
board.
I
worked
with
some
of
my
legislators
and
this
has
evolved
from
some
of
those
conversations
and
I'm
really
pleased
to
see
it
taking
taking
form.
At
this
point,
my
understanding
was
that
we
have
to
have
our
three
inclement
weather
days
before
this
becomes
an
option,
and
I
hadn't
heard
that
stated
so.
I
Z
Don't
I
don't
know,
but
that's
not
my
understanding.
We
had
a
meeting
of
school
communicators
from
across
the
state
in
july
late
july
and
we
we
this
was
on
our
agenda
and
no
one
brought
that
up.
Okay,
so
that-
and
I
that's
not
my
understanding.
I
Sure
so
the
legislation
that,
when
it
started
and
obviously
it
could
have
been
amended,
then
I
missed
that
too
originally
stated
that
you
would
have
to
take
your
three
snow
days
after
that
you
would
have
the
option
to
go
to
virtual
if
you
so
chose
and
in
the
conversations
that
this
board
had.
I
We
really
liked
that,
because
you
know
nobody
wants
to
miss
out
on
the
magic
of
a
snow
day,
but
nobody
wants
to
sit
at
home
if
they
called
for
ice
and
it
was
really
rain,
and
then
you
have
to
miss
your
summer
vacation.
So
when,
when
we
heard
from
public
comment
the
the
the
balancing
act
that
needed
to
occur,
I
thought
that
was
a
really
good
balance.
I
J
I
think
that's
part
of
the
next
phase,
the
conversations
we
will
continue
to
have
with
tac,
where
I
came
from,
we
did
create
an
abbreviated
schedule
that
did
allow
for
families
to
have
ample
time
to
play
outside,
while
still
being
able
to
accomplish.
You
know,
learning
in
an
asynchronous
manner.
So
you
know
just
just
know
that
that
is
the
plan
not
to
not
to
have
kids
in
the
entire
day
on
a
computer.
Okay,.
I
All
right
yeah,
I
just
want
to
so
if
you,
if
you
could
follow
up
with
me
on
that
particular
question
and
then
just
put
the
concern
out
there,
and
then
I
heard
it
again
in
public
comments.
So
just
so
that
we're
all
aware
that
would
be.
Z
I
Z
D
Z
J
Would
we
would
we
would
that
be
an
option
for
us
to
consider,
but
that's
something
we
can
talk
about
and
we
can
talk
with
the
union
and
bring
that
back.
As
a
recommendation
out
I
mean
personally,
I
would
say:
let's
yeah
I'll
leave
it
and.
I
Okay
and
then
the
second
piece
of
this
was
you
said
that
this
is
for
this
year.
Only
so
we're
just
waiting
to
see
what
msde
decides,
or
is
there
more
legislation
being
presented?
That
would
enshrine
some
of
this.
I.
Z
C
Thank
you.
I
think
it
was
miss
corcodale
and
then
miss
shawnheim.
V
Thank
you,
dr
tubbin.
Thank
you
guys
for
the
information,
two
real,
quick
questions,
and
the
first
is
so
we
still,
although
we'd
like
not
to
ever,
say
it
out
loud.
I
think
in
this
in
this
moment
in
time
there
may
be
occasions
where
we
as
a
school
needs
to
be
closed
or
classroom
needs
to
be
closed,
whether
it
is
for
a
facility
issue
or
for
a
health
related
issue
are
the
does
msd
calculate
so
this
magic
number
of
eight
are
those
part
of
the
eight
or
did
they
sit
out
separate
yeah.
Z
V
So
I'm
glad
we're
on
the
same
page
on
that
and
I
look
forward
to
the
outcome,
and
then
second
is
I
I
think
when,
when
we
talk
about
this
and
the
experiences
that
some
folks
felt
traumatized
with
throughout
our
our
year
and
a
half
of
in
and
out
of
virtual
and
partials
and
and
everything
particularly
for
our
our
children,
who
are
receiving
special
education
services,
and
so
in
that
regard,
is
there
anything
that
you
can
share
about
that
that
may
help
alleviate
some
of
those
concerns,
because
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
cut
that
our
whole
community's
going
to
be
comfortable
with
it.
V
AA
That's
a
great
question
and
in
fact
we
learned
a
lot
during
covet
with
respect
to
servicing
students
with
all
needs
right,
and
so
during
these
virtual
days
of
instruction,
although
they
will
be
synchronous
if
dr
bedell
makes
that
decision
and
asynchronous
accordingly,
the
notion
of
meeting
a
student's
needs,
who
maybe
isn't
a,
has
an
iep
and
really
needs
extensive
services.
AA
They
will
be.
The
instruction
will
be
delivered
based
on
the
students
needs
to
the
best
of
the
abil,
our
ability
and
the
teacher's
ability.
At
that
time.
It
won't
be
perfect.
I
won't
say
that
it
will
be
right,
but
in
most
cases
we
learned
what
we
learned
and
we
know
how
to
do
what's
best
for
those
students
virtually.
V
AA
Highlighted
benefits,
interestingly
enough,
some
students
really
thrived
in
that
environment.
Some
students
I'll
give
an
example.
We
had
parents
who
talked
to
us
students
with
high
anxiety
in
the
school
setting,
they
really
thrived
in
the
virtual
environment,
but
there
were
plenty
of
students
that
thrived
just
in
general.
They
they
became
a
community
online
and
it
worked
for
them.
There
were
students
for
whom
it
did
not
work
as
well.
AA
I
would
say,
though
dr
bedell
said
at
the
beginning:
we
are
reducing
the
school
day,
so
it
won't
be
six
and
a
half
hours
or
even
five
and
a
half
hours.
Msd
says
it
needs
to
be
four
hours,
so
it
will
be
at
least
four
hours,
but
that
will
allow
for
the
periods
to
be
shorter.
So
the
amount
of
virtual
time
is
also
shortened.
F
Yes,
I
thank
you
for
for
this
I
want
to.
I
want
to
just
very
briefly
say
that
I
I
agree
with
the
some
of
the
public
comment
earlier,
some
of
the
things
we
heard
last
year.
The
weather
person
thinks
it's
going
to
be
a
huge
ice
event.
We
close
schools
preemptively
because
of
course
we
would
it's
a
safety
issue
and
then
it
rains
all
day.
F
Well,
I'm
not
I'm
not
going
to
have
any
heartburn
at
all
about
my
kid
not
going
on
and
playing
in
the
rain
so
like,
but
you
know
if
it's,
if
it's
you
know
proper
snow.
Well,
then
that's
another
story.
I
would
love
for
my
child
and
every
other
child
to
go
out
and
play.
So
I
think
there's
and-
and
I
don't
I
mean
it's
great-
to
get
the
the
the
clarification
on
how
and
when
but
regardless
I
just.
F
I
just
hope
that
we,
you
know,
we
use
some
good
sense
going
forward
as
to
how
we
apply
the
the
snow
day
to
what
type
of
weather
and
and
and
then
yeah
being
able
to
shave
off
a
couple
days
at
the
end,
as
a
result
would
be
fantastic
yeah
so
anyway,
thank
you.
J
Would
have
some
pretty
rough
days
and
we
really
did
try
to
take
into
account
those
days
where
we
felt
man.
It
would
be
nice
just
to
let
the
kids
have
a
day.
If
we
know
there's
going
to
be
a
significant
amount
of
snow
coming,
we'd
probably
say
let
them
have
that
day.
I
think
that
that
would
be
our
judgment,
because
I
too
have
a
a
kid
that
I
know
would
want
to
go
outside
and
play
to,
and
I
think
two
to
one
of
the
things
that
mr
mosher
said
earlier.
J
You
also
have
this
situation
where,
because
of
the
amount
of
snow,
could
also
create
power
outages,
so
those
types
of
things
would
we
wouldn't
say:
let's
go
and
move
forward
with
a
virtual
school
on
a
day
like
that
when
we
know
we're
going
to
get
heavy
snow
because
that
creates
inequities.
We
heard
that
from
the
speaker
earlier
today
about
some
families
that
already
don't
have
internet
connectivity.
So
we
don't
want
to
further
perpetuate
that.
We
would
be
very
wise
in
in
how
we
would
apply
those
days.
Z
If
I
could
add
one
thing
to
what
dr
bedell
said,
it
also
allows
you
the
flexibility,
so
you
all
remember
last
year
right
we're
going
to
get
a
snowstorm,
and
so
we
make
the
decision
and
it
rains
to
use
your
example.
But
if
we
tell
parents
if,
if
we
convey
that
everybody
has
to
take
their
devices
home,
and
then
we
tell
parents
we're
going
to
make
that
decision
in
the
morning
when
it
rains
and
doesn't
snow,
it's
a
virtual
day,
not
a
code
whatever
day
yeah,
it
makes
sense.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
So
the
superintendent
recommends
that
the
board
of
education
authorize
the

Okay,

Ms

that
you.
B
V
Just
really
quick,
I
just
want
to
express
my
gratitude
on
behalf
of
the
crafton
area.
This
is
a
long
time
in
coming,
and
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
moving
priorities,
but
in
this
particular
case
there
was
just
no
way
to
reroute
those
kids
through
that
school
well
and
believe
me,
our
principles
and
and
and
they've
found
a
way
to
make
it
work
and
really
make
the
community
thrive.
V
This
is
going
to
create
an
environment
that
will
definitely
enhance,
enrich
their
performance,
and
I,
I
think,
help
alleviate
some
of
the
other
issues
secondary
issues
that
come
up
when
we
end
up
with
crowded
schools
and
and
just
older
schools,
with
older
widths
of
hallways
to
to
get
people
through
better
and
a
better
educational
environment.
So
thank
you
guys
very
much
for
everything.
C
Thank
you.
