H
I
am
very
pleased
to
share
that
the
board
will
be
recognizing
Southern,
High
School's
senior
Ethan
Scofield
on
being
named
the
Maryland
Farm
Bureau
agricultural
Ambassador.
For
the
22-23
year,
the
Maryland
Farm
Bureau
ambassador
program
chooses
youth
leaders
with
an
interest
in
agriculture
and
a
desire
to
promote
Farm,
Bureau
and
Maryland
agriculture.
H
Ethan
has
steadfastly
advocated
for
agriculture
education
by
speaking
before
the
Board
of
Education
meeting
with
the
county
executive
and
many
other
elected
officials,
attending
leadership,
conferences
at
the
state
and
federal
levels,
and
will
be
attending
really
soon.
The
farm
bureau's
Fusion
conference
in
March
that
will
be
held
this
year
in
Jacksonville
Florida
as
a
member
of
Southern
High
School's
FFA
Ethan,
has
become
part.
H
A
part
of
two
award-winning
teams
that
placed
silver
and
bronze
respectively
at
the
National
Future
Farmers
of
America
competition,
agriculture,
awareness
and
education
are
what
motor
or
what
motivates
Ethan
to
achieve
new
success,
and,
let
me
just
say,
as
as
a
person
not
just
representing
Southern
High
School,
but
our
Farmers
I
want
to
speak
for
a
minute,
we're
now
sixth
generation
removed
on
average,
as
individuals
from
our
farming
community
and
all
that
said,
an
aggregate
culture.
H
Food
is
vital,
no
arguments
there,
but
how
we
ensure
that
the
hunger
hungry
is
is
not
left
hungry.
How
we
ensure
that
we
feed
our
folks
in
a
responsible
manner
and
grow.
Local
right
is
something
that
many
Embrace,
including
our
grocery
stores,
that
it
all
starts
with
an
individual
who's
willing
to
become
a
farmer.
Rffa
program
is
very
robust
and
our
case
curriculum
is
strong.
H
Not
only
did
it
turn
it
around,
but
it
gave
him
opportunities
to
test
his
leadership
skills
and
to
advance
them
and
to
grow
with
them
on
his
peers,
and
I
will
tell
you
that
you
want
to
talk
about
running
a
good
meeting.
Ffa
could
teach
every
single
person
in
this
room
a
thing
or
two
about
that,
because
they
have
fundamental
respect
for
leadership
and
for
their
organization.
H
They
understand
the
Fidelity
and
the
importance
that
what
they
leave
behind
for
the
future
students
is
important.
All
these
are
fine
leadership,
qualities
the
blueprint
something
new
and
on
everybody's
mind,
for
various
reasons,
I
see
some
here,
probably
going
to
want
to
speak
on
that
and
that's
great,
but
remember
that
blueprint
Vision
includes
these
career-ready
opportunities
and
whatever
we
can
do
to
advance
them
to
strengthen
them
and
to
actually
give
these
students.
H
Those
similar
opportunities
that
our
other
programs
do
I
think
is
definitely
worthy,
and
we
have
an
advocate
that
will
carry
on
for
the
rest
of
his
life
and
have
left
an
impression
on
not
just
our
local
Southern
community,
but
on
each
and
every
single
person
in
this
County,
and
so
sir.
This
is
well
deserved
and
I
know
you
well
represent
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so
and
I'm
so
very
proud
of
you.
H
I
H
As
well,
well,
you
have
many
people,
I
know
always
well
supporting
you
and
you
support
them.
This
young
man
supports
so
many
Future
Farmers
of
America
and
and
work
so
well
with
the
team.
We're
gonna
miss
you
at
the
end
of
this
year,.
H
These
magical
moments,
because
now
you're
going
to
be
on
I,
really
really
soon
being
an
adult
but
I'm,
looking
forward
to
giving
your
commencement
speech
and
conferring
you
this
year,
because
you're
going
to
do
great
things
right,
yeah
and
so
then
other
board
members
are
going
to
join
me.
Now.
We're
going
to
take
a
couple
of
formal
pictures
and
I'll
bring
the
family
up
for
a
few
photos
as
well.
If
everybody
doesn't
like
standing
by
for
a
minute
or
two.
F
Mr
Schofield
I,
remember
you
coming
before
us
the
first
time
you've
made
an
impression:
I
said
that
guys
going
places
we
all
we
all
eat
and
your
leadership
starting.
B
Mr
silkworth
should
be
here.
We
got
a
couple
pictures
already
just
look
this
way
and
then
we'll
get
your
family
in
for
a
couple.

The
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
meeting
student,
specific
and
Personnel
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
forum.
Please
speak
only
on
the
topic
which
you
signed
up
to
speak
on.
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.
B
And
we
will
begin
speaking
on
item
5.01
superintendent's
update,
Miss
India
Oaks.
Thank
you.
D
India
Oaks
Bates
Middle
School
I
come
tonight
to
speak
about
ineffective
communication
within
School
operations,
specifically
in
regard
to
the
recent
hate
incident
at
Severna,
Park
High
School,
as
I
have
said
for
years,
communication
should
go
to
the
whole
aacps
Community
anytime.
A
hate
crime
occurs
by
isolating
the
response
only
to
the
school
in
question.
It
is
feeding
into
systemic
racism
and
systemic
ableism.
Our
school
system
should
be
dismantling
failing
to
support
thousands
of
other
families
who
know
about
the
altercation.
D
Turning
back
to
the
letter,
it
also
States
and
I
quote
phrases
that
are
V,
littling
and
demeaning
to
a
person
with
special
needs,
which
is
ableist
language
in
itself,
failing
to
publicly
label
as
ableist
language
and
subtlety
portrays
racist
language
as
more
serious
than
ableist
language.
I
spent
years
professionally.
Establishing
policies
to
keep
youth
out
of
the
justice
system
and
every
student
requires
due
process,
but
with
Equity
comes
transparency.
This
incident
was
not
juvenile
Antics
threats
are
a
crime,
and
when
targeting
race
and
disability
it
becomes
a
hate
crime.
D
B
D
B
Thank
you.
So
we
will
move
now
to
item
5.02
blueprint
for
Maryland's
future
update.
I'm
gonna
call
the
next
five
speakers
and
if
you
please,
come
up
and
take
a
seat.
Miss
Allison,
Ripley,
M,

K
Melissa
eitelman
I'm
speaking
I'm
speaking
on
behalf
of
moms
for
Liberty
Anne
Arundel
County,
one
in
nine
Monster
Liberty
chapters
here
in
Maryland,
I
asked
myself
what
is
the
definition
of
the
word
blueprint?
So
I
looked
it
up.
The
word
blueprint
is
defined
as
a
design
plan
or
other
technical
drawing,
but
in
this
situation
we're
talking
about
lives,
not
a
building
design.
K
K
What
stuck
out
the
most
to
me
was
that
he
asked
these
students.
What
is
your
blueprint
in
life?
Dr
King
suggested
three
deep
beliefs
to
focus
on
a
deep
belief
in
your
own
dignity,
a
deep
leap
in
your
worth,
a
deep
belief
in
your
own
some
bodies,
but
during
the
pandemic
you
close
the
doors
on
our
children's
teachers
and
staff
way
too
long
and
destroyed
their
deep
belief
of
worth
dignity
and
own
self-bodies,
while
losing
the
trust
of
parents.
K
So
now
in
Maryland
and
across
the
U.S,
many
of
us
parents
do
have
concerns
about
the
things
our
legislators
and
the
State
Board
of
Education
is
requiring.
Some
of
these
concerns
are
with
the
curriculum
and
the
focus
on
which
the
school
systems
want
to
shape
our
children's
worth.
We
send
our
children
to
school,
putting
our
faith
in
your
arms
that
you're
looking
out
for
their
best
interests.
K
We
feel
strongly
about
making
sure
our
schools
are
not
teaching
to
the
lowest
denominator,
but
to
the
common
denominator
that
we
all
care
about,
which
is
restoring
and
building
these
deep
beliefs
back
into
our
system.
We
are
truly
hopeful.
You
will
gain
some
of
our
trust
back
by
hearing
us
taking
in
our
testimony
to
heart
and
including
our
beliefs
and
the
decisions
made.
Thank
you
for
the
shrides.
You
have
made
letting
us
be
part
of
the
process,
as
well
as
concerning
moms
for
Liberty
as
a
serious
stakeholder
in
Anne
Arundel
County,
Public
Schools.
K
B
You
so
now
we
will
move
to
Virtual
public
comment.
L
L
And
gentlemen,
welcome
now
to
the
virtual
portion
of
our
public
comment
this
evening,
speakers
will
be
allotted
two
minutes
each
and
may
not
allocate
their
time
to
others.
Miss
Howell
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.
Students
specific
and
Personnel
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this

It
is
not
the
board's
general
practice
to
engage
in
question
and
answer
sessions
with
our
speakers.
For
the
record.
L
Please
give
your
name
before
speaking
our
first
Speaker
this
evening.
Speaking
on
item
5.01
superintendent's
update
is
William
horndorf.
L
E
M
M
You
can't
okay,
awesome
good
evening
board
members
and
superintendent
Bedell
I
am
here
today.
Excuse
me
to
testify
on
behalf
of
the
superintendent's
listening
tour.
This
was
such
a
great
opportunity
to
involve
stakeholders
and
truly
work
toward
the
goal
of
building
a
positive
relationship
with
the
community.
Has
this
event
demonstrated?
Communication
is
key
to
building
trust.
Many
stateful.
Excuse
me:
stakeholders
voice
their
gratefulness
for
the
opportunity,
as
well
as
the
importance
of
being
heard,
as
is
custom
across
the
state
of
Maryland.
M
Stakeholders
are
granted
the
right
to
be
heard
at
Board
of
Education
meetings,
I
request
the
Board
of
Education
to
follow
suit
and
allow
stakeholders
to
communicate
freely
at
Board
of
Education
meetings
rather
than
conforming
to
rigid
agendas.
Further
I
would
like
to
request
us
that
the
agenda
be
more
detailed
so
that
stakeholders
are
capable
of
being
specific
as
you're
requiring
each
testimony.
Dr
Bedell.
Thank
you
for
demonstrating
such
outstanding
servant
leadership,
and
thank
you
all
for
your
time
as
a
parent
I,
look
forward
to
what
you
accomplished
with
the
feedback
collected.
Thank
you.
L
L
A
N
N
O
N
Can
hear
me
thank
you,
okay,
so
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
James
Patterson,
a
U.S
history
teacher
at
MacArthur,
Middle,
not
the
author.
Now
that
we've
cleared
that
up,
this
is
my
eighth
year
teaching
and
my
eighth
year
at
MacArthur
personally,
I
feel
much.
The
concern
over
school
safety
is
in
large
part
of
function,
number
of
vacancies
we
have
had
this
year.
Unfortunately,
the
incident
that
happened
at
MacArthur
could
have
happened
anywhere
at
any
time.
That's
just
the
reality
that
these
things
do
happen.
N
Now
to
me,
the
number
of
vacancies
are
what
was
pushing
people
to
the
edge
in
that
instance,
would
pushed
them
over
and
justifiedly.
So
earlier
in
this
year,
we
had
24
vacancies
at
MacArthur,
the
county
as
a
whole
at
around
200.
and
that's
total.
So
one
school
in
a
system
of
128
accounted
for
12
and
a
half
percent
of
the
vacancies
that
were
being
filled
by
colleagues
running
to
classrooms
during
their
planning,
Board
of
Education,
member
or
employees.
N
That
came
out
to
help
us
in
any
substitute
gracious
enough
to
help
us
out
much
love
to
the
subs
and
the
Board
of
Education
employees.
That
came
to
our
Aid
special
shout
out
to
well
we'll
just
call
her
Miss
L,
who
has
been
my
English
teacher
on
my
team.
This
quarter.
These
people
are
really
our
unsung
heroes.
N
Now
vacancies
were
are,
and
will
continue
to
be,
a
problem,
it's
hard
to
be
a
functioning
school
without
enough
teachers,
and
on
top
that
the
MacArthur
is
already
just
a
challenging
school.
We
just
are
I,
don't
know
why.
But
we
are
now
over
the
years
many
teachers
have
chosen
to
leave
because
it
can
be
hard
here
and
they
don't
want
to
deal
with
the
ad
stress
and
headaches.
This
problem
has
been
compounding
over
time.
N
We
need
veterans
in
our
challenging
schools
and
we
need
people
to
stay
for
more
than
a
year
or
two
or
three.
The
constant
turnover
of
Staff
makes
it
impossible
to
create
and
uphold
our
desired
School
culture,
because
we
have
to
start
from
square
one
with
so
much
of
the
staff
every
year,
and
this
extends
to
assistant
principles
as
well.
I've
had
11
assistant
principals
in
the
last
eight
years.
Oh,
the
problem
will
be
worse
next
year.
So
how
do
we
fix
this?
N
I've
heard
multiple
answers
over
the
last
eight
years
for
how
to
get
and
keep
people
at
my
school
that
have
really
worked
and,
in
my
opinion,
experience
sometimes
throwing
money
at
a
problem.
Does
work,
offer
people
a
bonus
type
and
raise
whatever
you
want
to
call
it
to
get
them
to
come
to
meteor
schools
in
the
county.
If
you
offered
they
will
come
I
know.
Some
of
my
colleagues
may
not
agree
with
me
on
this,
and
they
will
argue
it's
unfair
to
them.
I
understand
this
perspective,
but
I
would
ask
that
they
consider
ours.
N
The
teachers
add
the
more
challenging
schools.
The
situations
that
we've
been
put
in
the
past
many
years
haven't
exactly
been
fair
either.
The
reality
is
that
we
need
to
get
people
here,
especially
people
with
experience
into
our
more
difficult
schools
and
I'll
just
end
with
this.
If
you
pay
them
more,
they
will
come.
Thank
you
guys
for
your
time.

Since
our
last
report,
crass
kicked
off
the
new
year
with
our
first
town
hall
on
January
4th,
we
discuss
student
concerns
and
hosted
a
guest
speaker,
Mr
Kevin
wayjack,
director
of
instruction.
During
this
time
students
have
the
opportunity
to
give
their
input
on
the
CTE
and
CCR
components
of
the
Maryland
blueprint.
It
was
a
fantastic
discussion.
C
C
C
The
craft
service
department
supported
a
local
faith-based
organization
in
Severna,
Park
called
spam,
which
stands
for
certain
people
across
neighborhoods
for
their
November
and
December
service
projects
of
the
month,
students
at
South,
River,
High
School
created
Thanksgiving
greeting
cards
and
students
around
the
county.
With
the
help
of
students
on
the
student
service,
learning
leadership,
team
SSL,
gathered
donation,
baking,
snacks
and
toiletry
items
were
collected
and
distributed
through
spam.
C
C
C
In
honor
of
Dr
Martin
Luther
King
Jr
Day
celebrated
on
Monday
I
would
like
to
share
this
quote
Our
Lives
begin
to
end
the
day.
We
become
silent
about
things
that
matter
through
Dr,
King's,
iconic
march,
to
Washington.
We
learn
to
take
action
when
a
problem
arrives
and
not
to
stay
silent,
we
can
take
his
words
and
use
them
even
now
to
do
what's
right
in
the
various
positions
we
serve
in,
that's
what
Dr
King
did,
and
that
is
what
he
encouraged
us
to
do.
H
O
You
good
evening,
president
Hoban,
vice
president
silkworth
fellow
board
members
and
Dr
Bedell
for
the
record.
My
name
is
Tanisha
Howard,
the
chair
of
the
citizen
advisory
committee,
also
known
as
the
CAC
on
behalf
of
the
CAC
body,
I'm
pleased
to
have
this
opportunity
to
share
and
update
the
board
on
our
recent
meeting
held
on
Monday
January
9th,
where
we
had
the
pleasure
of
board
member
Corrine
Frank.
Thank
you
and
for
your
time
and
joining
us
as
a
reminder
for
the
public.
O
The
cat
conducts
our
meetings
virtually
on
the
second
Monday
of
every
month
from
6
45
to
8
45,
except
for
April.
Our
2022
2023
meeting
schedule
is
posted
on
our
website.
As
you
see,
we
have
three
remaining
meetings
this
school
year
and
we
encourage
all
to
join
our
upcoming
meetings
if
interested
a
request
can
be
made
via
our
CAC
secretary.
O
Along
with
internship
opportunities,
our
committee
was
able
to
delve
further
in
to
was
able
to
delve
to
further
insights
into
internships,
Office
programs
and
results
with.
As
with
all
this
information,
these
insights
allow
us
the
ability
to
connect
with
Community
engagement
to
a
key
resource
within
our
school
system.
O
It's
always
exciting
to
have
a
new
agenda
item
which
was
raised
by
our
CAC
member
Maisie
Howard
of
Southern
Elementary
cluster
outlining
volunteering
as
part
of
a
class
course
requirements
and
the
way
the
community
service
and
support
is
tasked
at
the
elementary
and
secondary
levels.
For
an
example,
organizations
in
the
communities,
including
those
that
are
part
of
Anne
Arundel
County
infrastructure,
don't
accept
team
volunteers
younger
than
18..
Those
that
do
are
limited
and
have
very
different
requirements
for
the
opportunity.
O
Some
require
a
parent
to
volunteer.
Alongside
with
the
student
Others
May
accept
teen
students
younger
than
18,
but
have
internal
administrative
requirements
that
make
it
very
burdensome,
such
as
two
adults
must
be
present
with
teen
volunteers.
At
all
times,
the
committee
approved
a
motion
to
explore
this
topic
further
and
learn
more
about
the
organization
of
the
program,
its
impact
and
satisfaction
of
objectives
to
determine
next
steps
for
the
CAC.
O
Now
on
to
the
heart
of
the
CAC,
our
subcommittees.
Our
breakout
sessions
include
hate
and
bias,
ready
to
read
early
literacy
and
wellness
lens.
The
hate
and
bias
is
working
as
you
see,
to
fine-tune
definitions
and
begin
drafting
a
mission
and
vision
statement.
Their
next
meeting
is
January.
26Th
ready
to
read
early
literacy
is
working
to
refine
their
problem
statement
in
scoping
other
report
sections.
Their
next
meeting
will
be
held
at
our
regular
CAC
meeting
on
February
13th.
O
The
wellness
lens
is
seeking
greater
diversity
of
thought
on
the
virtual
day,
instruction
by
researching
other
jurisdictions
for
comparison.
Their
next
meeting
again
will
be
held
at
our
next
CAC
meeting
on
February
13th.
As
always,
we
will
continue
to
report
any
updates
in
progress
over
the
next
couple
over
the
next
coming
months.
O
We
will
have
our
our
new
member
implicit
bias,
training
on
January
19th
with
Dr
Maisha
Gillis.
We
will
also
upcoming
this
over
the
next
couple
of
months
in
February
we're
going
to
feature
Family
Academy.
This
is
the
bright
space
parent
perspective,
Beyond
grades
and
in
March
we're
going
to
feature
Service
Learning,
exploring
further
volunteering
with
officially
three
meetings
left
this
year.
Our
subcommittees
are
steadfast
in
their
engagement
to
complete
our
remaining
work.
O
B
B
The
applications
are
open
until
4
pm
on
Friday
January
20th.
So
thank
you
all
right.
That
brings
us
to
item
4.03
the
president's
report.
B
So
it's
been
a
busy
beginning
to
the
year
last
Thursday
MS,
corcadel,
MR,
silkworth,
Miss,
shalheim
and
I,
along
with
Dr
Bedell,
were
privileged
to
attend
the
17th
annual
Avid
conference
kickoff
at
Anne
Arundel
Community
College,
where
the
theme
was
learning
through
service
and
included
students
from
all
over
the
county.
B
The
student
speakers,
as
well
as
the
guest
speaker,
were
amazing
and
students
were
able
to
attend
a
full
roster
of
student-led
sessions
throughout
the
day.
Many
thanks
to
Glen
Burnie
High
for
hosting
this
year's
conference
and
to
Ms
talar
and
all
the
Avid
coordinators
instructors
and
students
throughout
our
district
for
the
incredible
work
they
do
to
continue
to
make
this
one
of
the
most
successful
programs
in
aacps
for
the
last
19
years
last
Friday
afternoon.
Mr
silkworth
Ms,
shalheim
and
I
hit
the
road
again
along.
B
We
picked
up
Miss
Frank
this
time
and
along
with
County
Executive
Pittman,
a
very
and
very
enthusiastic
group
of
students
and
their
families.
We
were
thrilled
to
attend
an
event
at
Fort
Smallwood,
Elementary,
honoring,
Ms,
Heather
Maloney,
the
bus
driver
who
went
above
and
beyond
when
her
bus
suffered
difficulties
on
the
trip
home
one
day.
She
did
extraordinary
work
to
get
all
her
students
to
safety
and
ensure
that
everyone
got
home
safely.
B
Finally,
also
last
Friday
Mr,
silkworth,
Miss,
schulheim
and
I
had
the
great
joy
of
attending
the
fourth
annual
unified
physical
education
and
dance
showcase
at
Crofton,
High
School
from
cheering
the
teams
from
each
of
the
participating
schools
as
they
entered
the
gym
to
watching
students
play
together.
Work
together,
compete
together
and
care
for
one
another.
It
was
a
joyous
morning,
many
thanks,
as
always
to
Ms
Walsh
and
all
the
staff
who
make
this
such
a
terrific
program
and
to
all
the
students
who
work
together
to
bring
out
the
best
in
one
another.
B
J
All
right,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
I
want
to
say
good
evening
to
everybody
who's
here
tonight.
I
have
a
couple
of
slide
Decks
that
I
need
to
share
with
you
all
that
are
of
significant
importance.
So
we
start
off
with
this
first
slide,
which
is
the
goals
that
we
focused
on
with
the
100-day
entry
plan.
We
are
at
number
five.
We
have
one
more
listening
and
learning
tour
that
will
take
place
tomorrow,
night
at
Brock
bridge,
and
this
will
be
a
a
bilingual
session
and
it
will
be
our
final
session.
J
But
it's
it's
not
the
end.
We
do
want
people
to
know
that
we
will
continue
to
have
opportunities
for
people
to
provide
input
online,
and
so
there
will
will
all
of
this.
These
opportunities
will
be
available
soon,
as
you
can
see
here
on
our
website
at
www.acps.org
forward.
Slash
forward,
listening
tour.
So
this
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
continuing
to
gather
as
much
input
as
possible.
J
It
has
been
eye-opening
for
me,
I,
think,
there's
a
number
of
themes
that
have
emerged
as
a
result
of
of
being
able
to
get
out
and
engage
the
community
and
I
I
want
to
say
this
before
we
move
to
the
next
slide,
one
of
the
things
that
I
have
talked
about
at
every
single
one
of
these
listening
learning
tours
is
around
inclusivity,
and
it
is
something
that
we
all
have
to
embrace
in
this
school
district,
I
think
as
I've
shared
the
data,
the
school
district
is
becoming
more
and
more
diverse
by
the
day,
but
it's
it's
bigger
than
just
being
in
close
and
inclusive.
J
This
is
about
acceptance
and
I.
Think
given
some
of
the
recent
events
that
have
occurred,
whether
it's
the
weapon
situation
at
MacArthur,
that
we
are
going
to
address,
whether
it
is
the
bullying
and
instance,
sensitivity
issue
that
occurred
at
Severna
Park,
which
right
now
has
caught
national
attention.
J
These
are
things
that
we
cannot
tolerate
in
this
school
district.
We
cannot
tolerate
it
and
we
cannot
operate
with
a
catalyst
heart
that
oh,
this
is
just
okay.
This
is
what
it's
always
been.
It's
not
acceptable
and
it
will
not
be
tolerated,
I'm
and
I'm
being
very
serious
about
this,
and
so
we
want
to
have
conversations
with
communities
impacted
we
want
to
talk
about.
How
do
we
begin
to
change
the
perception?
Because
the
perception
is
the
reality
people
can
say:
oh
it's
people
making
this
up.
J
It's
too
many
instances
that
have
occurred,
and
it's
not
just
because
of
Severna
Park.
We
got
issues
like
this
around
the
county,
kids
being
bullied
too
much,
bullying,
kids
being
picked
on
because
they're
disabled,
the
use
of
racial
slurs,
and
it's
just
not
something
that
I
think
I
will
tolerate.
Administration
will
tolerate
and
I
know
in
the
conversation
that
I've
had
with
this
school
board.
We
want
all
of
our
kids
to
feel
that
they
can
go
to
school
safe.
They
can
learn.
J
We
want
to
send
them
back
better
than
they
came
to
us
at
the
end
of
each
day.
We
want
growth
across
the
board
for
all
of
our
students.
We
want
our
teachers
to
feel
safe,
not
to
feel
that
they
can't
do
their
jobs
because
they
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen
at
any
moment
because
of
all
of
these
incidents
that
are
not
only
occurring
here
in
our
school
district,
but
they're
occurring
around
the
country.
You've
seen
what
happened
in
Newport
News,
you
heard
what
happened
in
Lansdowne.
J
You've
seen
us
as
a
district
be
represented
on
the
news.
It's
embarrassing
and
quite
frankly,
it's
very
concerning
and
scary,
and
so
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
as
a
school
district.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
have
a
conversation,
to
be
very
crystal
clear,
with
everybody
in
this
community
around
the
help
that
we
need
from
the
community.
J
This
all
can't
be
put
on
aacps.
This
is
bigger
than
aacps.
This
is
a
community
problem
and
if
we
don't
have
community
help
to
resolve,
what's
going
on
we're
wide
open,
so
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
want
I,
have
a
sixth
grader
I'm,
a
parent,
just
like
many
of
you
all
have
been
or
and
are,
and
I
want
to
know
that
my
daughter
is
going
to
come
home
safe.
J
So
we
will
be
looking
at
a
town
hall
meeting
coming
up
to
have
conversations
around
this
to
talk
about
help
to
talk
about
where
kids
can
go
and
get
help
if
they're
being
bullied
and
to
really
begin
to
push
an
anti-bullying
campaign,
because
I
think
part
of
this
is
bullying
is
out
of
control,
it's
out
of
control
and
nobody
should
be
held
hostage
because
they're
being
bullied
that
they're,
afraid
to
go
to
school
or
parents
are
afraid
to
send
them
to
school,
and
if
they
are
then
bringing
weapons
in
to
protect
themselves.
J
We
haven't
done
a
good
enough
job
and
we
cannot
tolerate
it.
We
cannot
tolerate
it.
I
will
not
tolerate
it.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
mention
that,
because
this
is
part
of
establishing
trust
and
Confidence
from
the
community.
I
need
the
community
to
know
that
we're
not
going
to
sit
up
here
silent,
but
we
are
going
to
be
strategic.
J
So
that
is
the
comment
that
I
really
wanted
to
make
and
we'll
move
to
this
third
slide:
Mr
Moser
some
positive
news.
Here
we
talked
back
in
October
when
I
did
a
presentation
in
front
of
the
board
and
we
wrote
out
our
plan
around
how
we
would
address
transportation
and
that
we
had
to
take
an
alternative
route
which
we
were
able
to
do
when
the
board
on
December
5th
approved
the
alternative,
Transportation
model
that
we
wanted
to
implement.
J
And
we
thought
that,
at
the
turn
of
the
second
semester,
we
said
in
that
presentation
that
no
family
should
go
without
transportation
for
the
entirety
of
the
school
year,
and
we
said
that
that
meant
that
some
families
would
receive
interrupted.
Interruption
at
the
start
of
the
second
semester,
I'm
proud
to
share
with
every
single
one
of
you
that
that
will
not
happen.
Every
route
with
the
sign
stops
now
has
an
assigned
driver,
no
routes.
Route
swaps
are
necessary,
but
here's
what
I
will
tell
you?
We
still
don't
have
a
bench.
J
So
that
means
when
a
bus
driver
calls
in
or
a
bus
driver
is
out
for
whatever
reason,
jury
duty
vacation
day
or
whatever
it
is.
They
are
they're
going
to
be
cases
where
we
cannot
get
kids
to
school
and
we
will
continue
to
communicate
with
you
all
as
we
continue
to
build
up
that
bench,
and
so
we
know
that
that
will
happen.
So
we
have
addressed
phase
number
one
phase
number
two
now
is
to
begin
to
relieve
overcrowding.
J
So,
as
we
now
get
more
bus
drivers
certified
and
we
get
more
vans
on
the
road,
we
will
continue
to
free
up
more
yellow
buses
and,
as
a
result,
we
can
now
start
addressing
overcrowding
as
we
get
more
of
these
candidates
through
the
pipeline
and
in
the
third
phase,
is
to
build
a
bench
we
need
to
have
at
least
10
percent.
J
J
How
is
that
possible
that
you
have
all
the
routes
filled,
because
we
have
49
employees
that
should
be
working
in
various
departments
within
our
transportation
division
that
are
having
to
drive
no
different
than
what
you
heard
from
the
teacher
about
central
office
employees
who
are
going
into
schools
and
they're
they're
having
to
take
care
of
of
of
some
of
the
vacancy
issues.
We
have
59
potential
drivers
and
currently
in
training.
J
So
we
talk
a
lot
about
what
has
been
learned
over
the
first
100
days,
and
we
know
that
I
think
anytime,
a
new
superintendent
comes
in.
You
want
to
take
a
deep
look
at
your
curriculum.
You
want
to
figure
out.
Is
the
curriculum
easy
for
teachers
to
navigate?
Is
it
easy
for
parents
to
understand?
Do
you
see
vertical
and
horizontal
alignment
in
your
curriculum?
Is
your
curriculum
aligned
to
State
Standards?
Does
it
address
meeting
the
needs
of
gifted
and
talented
ell
students
Farm
students?
J
J
The
evaluations
of
proposals
are
ongoing.
There
will
be
a
recommendation
that
will
come
to
me
next
month.
My
goal
is
to
bring
this
plan
to
bring
the
award
of
the
contract
to
the
board
for
approval
in
March.
Once
we
get
that
approved,
we
can
get
started
with
our
audit,
but
everything
that
I'm
hearing
during
these
listening
and
learning
tours
is
that
we
have
work
to
do
with
our
curriculum.
I
think
people
want
it
to
be
grounded
in
research.
J
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
curriculum,
that
that
speaks
to
the
confidence
that
people
want.
We
talk
about
science
for
reading.
We
talk
about
the
special
education
aspect
of
how
we're
servicing
our
students
in
special
education
we're
going
to
look
at
all
of
those
things
in
the
curriculum.
So
we
want.
We
want
to
just
make
sure
that
I
remind
people
that
that
still
will
be
an
ongoing
part
of
of
my
100
day
entry
plan,
even
though
we've
we've
passed
that
100
day
period
and
then
the
Strategic
plan.
J
So
the
request
for
proposals
were
made
public
last
week.
Work
on
the
new
plan
will
begin
May
of
2023.
We
talked
about
how
we
want
this
strategic
plan
to
be
grounded
in
equity
and
I've
defined
my
definition
around
Equity
multiple
times
in
community
meetings
and
in
board
meetings,
Innovation
being
able
to
really
look
at
things
differently.
J
Think
outside
the
box
on
how
we
can
really
bring
joy
back
to
teaching
enjoy
back
to
learning,
because
I
think
we've
lost
that
in
in
many
cases,
and
we
think
this
Innovation
could
help
spur
that
looking
at
the
social,
emotional
and
academic
growth
of
students,
every
single
student,
there
must
be
value-add
and
we
will
have
a
scorecard
that
we
will
have
available
around
how
we're
making
progress
on
all
of
these
areas
that
we
will
provide
an
update
every
year
to
this
board
in
the
community,
and
we
will
post
that
scorecard
to
our
website
for
transparency
purposes
with
the
community
and
then
adherence
to
blueprint.
J
We
know
it's
law,
so
we
have
to
adhere
to
that.
And
finally,
the
semester
break
for
students
will
begin
on.
Well,
what
is
tar
is
targeted
right
now
for
Wednesday
January
25th.
There
must
be
a
one-nine
student
day
between
the
second
and
third
marking
periods.
J
Inclement
weather
could
shift
the
day
of
semester
break
and
if
that
happens,
families
and
staff
members
will
be
informed
of
any
changes.
So
with
that
being
said,
that
concludes
the
superintendent
remarks
and
yeah.
Thank
you
all
for
just
being
here
tonight.
B
And
that
is
excellent
news
news
about
Transportation
we're
very
grateful
for
the
progress
that
your
leadership
has
afforded
and
that
the
transportation
department
has
made
this
fall
and
I'm
sure
it's
with
great
relief
that
families
here
there
will
be
nobody
who
has
to
lose
a
bus
coming
up.
So
so
thank
you
for
that
all
right,
seeing
no
lights.
J
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
We
will
have
Matt
stansky,
who
will
provide
an
update
for
the
board
on
the
school
system's
work
towards
meeting
the
requirements
of
the
blueprint
for
Maryland's
future
Mr.
Stansky
I'll
pass
it
over
to
you.
P
I
By
line
and
I'm
sure
she'll
be
greeting
me,
so
don't
really
tonight
it's
a
brief
update
on
our
our
plan
over
the
next
really
six
to
seven
weeks
to
engage
stakeholders
in
our
draft
implementation
plan
as
to
remind
the
board.
We
owe
the
accountability
and
implementation
board
a
plan
for
last
year,
this
year
and
next
school
year
by
March,
the
15th
on
the
on
the
blueprint
and
all
of
its
requirements,
and
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
Dive
Right
In.
I
So
tomorrow
we
will
be
opening
registration
for
two
workshops.
One
will
be
on
January,
the
31st
at
Arundel,
High
School,
and
one
will
be
on
February
1st
at
Glen
Burnie,
that
one
will
be
in
Spanish
and
so
we'll
be
opening
registration.
The
reason
we're
asking
for
in-person
for
registration
for
these
is
to
really
be
able
to
properly
staff
and
prepare,
and-
and
so
that's,
why
we're
asking
for
registration
for
for
for
these
two
events,
just
to
give
a
little
more
detail
on
how
these
will
work.
I
Dr
Pugh
will
give
an
overview
of
the
blueprint
at
these
work
sessions
and
then
there
will
be
breakout
tables
and
we'll
participants
be
able
to
pick
two
topics
at
the
breakout
tables
to
participate
and
provide
feedback.
Based
on
draft
answers
that
we
have
in
our
blueprint
blueprint
implementation
plan,
the
time
will
be
5
30
to
7.
Again
more
details
will
be
coming
out
tomorrow.
I
During
that
time,
we
also
have
we'll
have
scheduled
a
series
of
four
virtual
public
webinars
February
2nd
will
be
focused
on
the
pillar,
3
College
and
Career
Readiness.
The
6th
of
February
will
be
focused
on
pillar
one
early
childhood
education
pillars.
Four
and
five
will
be
the
focus
on
February
7th,
which
is
more
resources
for
Student,
Success
and
accountability,
and
then,
finally,
on
February,
the
8th
pillar
2,
which
is
high
quality
and
diverse
teacher
leaders.
Again
these
will
be
about
an
hour
long.
I
What's
going
to
be
good
about
these,
is
they
will
be
recorded,
and
so,
if
folks
don't
have
an
opportunity
or
can't
make
the
January
31st
or
February
1st
meetings
or
any
of
the
webinars,
there
will
be
a
public
comment
opportunity
where
they
can
view
the
presentations
and
provide
feedback
via
a
survey
that
we
will
have
posted
on
our
website.
I
So
that
will
give
the
public
additional
opportunities
to
provide
feedback
based
on
our
draft
answers
and
just
a
reminder
to
the
to
the
board
and
to
the
community
that
translation
services
will
be
there
both
for
the
English
version
of
the
workshop,
as
well
as
the
Spanish
version.
Again,
all
the
webinars
will
be
recorded
for
viewing
and
then
links
will
again
be
shared.
I
So
for
folks
who
are
unable
to
attend
any
of
the
webinars
or
if
you
wanted
to
do
multiple,
multiple
ones,
but
the
schedule
didn't
permit,
you
could
review
the
the
webinar
and
then
again
provide
feedback
via
the
survey
tool
that
we
will
have
posted
on
our
website
and
with
that
Madam
president.
That
concludes
my
brief
overview
and
we'll
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
You
have.
B
I
see
no
lights
so
I'm
assuming
there
are
not
additional
questions.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
that
update
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing
more
about
the
upcoming
workshops.
Thank
you,
foreign
okay.
So
that
brings
us
now
to
section
six
consent
items
I.
J
Yeah
Madam
cheer.
The
superintendent
recommends
that
the
board
authorized
the
award
of
the
contracts
on
item
6.01
through
item
6.04.
R
J
City
I
got
to
get
over
that,
so
the
the
these
are
items
of
legislation.
The
following
General
Assembly
bills
are
presented
to
the
board
of
education
for
consideration.
The
first
section
contains
bills
on
which
the
board
is
requested
to
take
a
formal
position.
The
second
section
contains
bills
for
the
board's
information.
A
board's
position
is
not
being
requested
on
these
bills.
At
this
time.
The
third
section
contains
bills
addressed
by
the
board's
legislative
program
adopted
on
December
14
2022.
P
Good
evening,
Dr
Bedell,
president
Tobin
and
members
of
the
board
for
the
record
Grace
Wilson
acting
legislative
and
policy
specialist
here
to
discuss
the
items
of
legislation
before
you
today.
As
a
friendly
reminder,
the
445th
session,
thank
you
of
the
Maryland
general
assembly
began
last
Wednesday
January
11th
things.
It's
been
a
relatively
slow
start
to
the
session,
we've
seen
significantly
fewer
bills,
introduced
than
in
the
same
period
last
year
before
you
as
the
first
legislative
exhibit
for
the
session.
P
P
Bills
in
the
second
section
are
for
your
information.
Only
these
are
bills
which
I'm
tracking,
but
on
which
aacps
has
assumed
no
position
and
the
third
section
of
builds
the
third.
The
third
section
contains
bills
which
align
with
the
position
in
the
board's
legislative
program,
and
with
that
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
B
G
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
I
know
we're
not
voting
anything
but
I
wanted
to
get
your
I
wanted
to
get
an
understanding,
so
we're
supporting
HB
81
the
live
where
you
teach
program
yes
and
so
I'm,
assuming
the
you
know
and
I,
had
read
your
notes.
So
I
do
appreciate
that,
but
I
assume
part
of
it
is.
We
support
the
folks
that
are
engaged
in
our
system
that
we
want
to
so
we're
not
directly
related
to
certain
aspects
of
this
program.
But
we
want
to
support
legislation
that.
G
Okay,
oh
in
the
okay,
so
the
other
document
has
that
piece.
Okay,
so
so
I
was
looking
at
the
hb24
and
I
was
thinking
well.
So
we
support.
You
know,
folks
in
our
system,
that
for
living
purposes-
and
we
don't
have
an
opposition
to
the
tax
exemption
on
musical
instruments,
but
I
was
interested
wouldn't
would
we
is
there
a
reason
we
CA
you
wouldn't
want
to,
or
is
there
a
reason
why
you
would
think
because
it
is
helping
people
and
who
would
benefit
who
are
engaged
in
our
system?
P
Know
the
the
staff
benefits
for
staff
staying
in
the
community
benefits
the
school
system
directly
because
it
allows
our
teachers
to
be
more
engaged
in
the
community,
whereas
a
tax
break
for
folks
who
purchase
musical
instruments-
or
we
also
typically
see
bills
related
to
a
tax-free
period
for
shopping.
They
don't
have
a
direct
impact
on
the
school
system,
so
I
do
track
them
and
keep
an
eye
on
them.
The
school
system
does
not
assume
it's
a
position.
G
I
do
like
this
one
so
I
might
I
might
be
interested
in
following
up
more
on
this
one
sure
violins
are
like
500,
so
that's
six
percent
I
mean
that's
a
little.
It's
a
little
bit
so
I
have
that
that
bill
that
I'm
I'm
interested
in
I
might
I
might
want
to
pick
your
brain
on
that
and
sure
we
can
absolutely
talk.
I
might
I
might
want
to
support
that
at
some
point.
G
The
other
piece
of
legislation
that
I
have
had
a
lot
of
people
reach
out
to
me
is
not
going
to
be
a
surprise.
It's
hb119
I
am
very
glad
to
see
that
aacps
is
opposing
this.
Obviously,
it
restricts
our
ability
as
a
local
board,
but
beyond
that
I
just
have
so
many
parents
who
are
opposed
to
the
health
framework
initiative
as
it
is,
and
I
get
a
lot
of
feedback
on
this
particular
item.
G
So
not
just
what
we
have
in
our
opposition,
but
but
constituents
I,
don't
hear
any
of
my
constituents
saying
to
me.
I
would
really
like
more
prescriptive,
sexualized
education
in
our
school
system.
Could
you
please
provide
that?
It's
the
contrary,
it's.
Why
are
people
overstepping
the
bounds
of
my
apparental
authority
and
to
balance
that
is
very
difficult,
so,
while
I
I
greatly
appreciate
that
we
are
opposing
this
and
and
I
truly
do
I
I
understand
that
some
people
who
have
wanted
to
testify
in
our
legislative
agenda
were
unable
to
do
so
tonight.
G
So
I
know
that
that
was
a
concern
that
some
constituents
had.
So
I
would
just
like
to
propose
that
if,
if
they
were
not
able
to
state
that
in
this
meeting
and
support
our
efforts
in
this
area
that
they
should
absolutely
be
reaching
out
to
their
delegates,
because
that
is
much
more
the
proper
channel
for
this.
In
any
case,
so
much.
B
P
B
So
moving
on
to
policy
revisions,
third
reading
item
7.03
whistleblower
protections
code,
GHA,
Phil,.
J
Thank
you,
madam
president.
The
superintendent
recommends
approval
or
policy
gag
subject
to
final
correction
for
style
and
format.
This
is
the
third
reading
for
this
policy.
E
P
Yes,
for
the
record
again:
Grace
Wilson
acting
legislative
and
policy
specialist
policy
BBF
board
internal
auditor
is
a
board
policy
which
establishes
an
independent
internal
audit
office
to
assist
the
board
and
aacps
in
the
effective
discharge
of
their
responsibilities.
This
policy
is
before
you
on
a
second
second
reading.
P
Due
to
these
substantive
revisions,
the
policy
will
be
posted
for
an
additional
public
comment
period
through
February
1st,
when
the
policy
is
back
before
the
board
on
third
reading.
Additionally,
policy
BBF
will
be
accompanied
by
the
rescission
of
policy
DDD
internal
audit
office
and,
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Thank
you.
Miss
corcadel.
H
Thank
you,
and-
and
thank
you
so
very
much.
This
is
just
to
review
it's
the
work
of
our
audit
committee
and
in
this
particular
matter,
I
want
to
extra
shout
out
for
the
staff
in
as
well
as
our
board
attorney
and
Dr
bedell's
team
and
getting
us
to
a
place
of
getting
a
couple
of
these
things.
Cleaned
up.
H
My
understanding
is
based
on
our
policy
and
please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
and
you
may
not
be
that
individual-
it
may
be
our
attorney,
but
that
once
a
first
reader
goes
through
regardless
of
the
pauses
and
our
requests
that
we
make
for
the
policy
committee.
The
actual
amendments
once
the
first
reader
is
out
would
need
to
be
adopted,
and
so
with
that
in
mind
it
because
we
had
just
taken
it-
we'd
paused,
the
second
reader,
and
so
this
is
kind
of
a
resumption
of
it.
H
So
my
original
understanding
was
that
we
would
need
to
adopt
these
amendments
in
typically,
they
are
done
during
Second
reader.
With
that
in
mind,
I
move
to
adopt
the
Amendments
as
approved
and
presented
to
the
board
this
evening
by
the
policy
committee
as
writ
providing
for
any
technical
or
style
edits
as
required
foreign.
H
B
I,
don't
have
the
policy
right
in
front
of
me.
I
do
think
that
it's
better
to
make
sure
that
we
adopt
these
publicly
and
make
sure
the
record
is
clean.
Obviously
the
policy
chair
is
not
with
us
tonight,
but
I
think
that's,
probably
okay,
that.
H
Well,
that
was
my
understanding
is
that
anytime,
we
do
have
amendments,
and
the
last
time
we
reverted
back
to
policy
committee
was
on
our
own
ethics
policy,
and
so
they
did
review
quite
a
few
amendments
that
were
proposed
by
the
members
and
some
were
accepted,
recommended
and
others
were
not.
In
that
instance,
we
did
proceed
with
adopting
them
as
amendments
as
part
of
our
regular,
so
I
am
happy
to
proffer.
H
The
motion
I
do
not
know
if
there's
questions
that
board
members
may
have
and
do
not
want
to
preclude
any
normal
discussion
or
or
that.
B
E
I
mean,
in
my
view,
this
isn't
the
extra
the
extra
motion
isn't
needed.
I
mean
I'll,
support
it
and
it's
fine,
but,
like
you
know,
it
was
already
removed
out
of
the
the
regular
reader
process
that
we
have
to
put
in
these
amendments,
and
so
I
I.
Just
it's
it's
there
before
us,
I'm,
not
sure
this
is
necessary,
but
I'll
support
it.
We
want
to
continue
with
it.
Okay,.
B
All
right,
I
see
no
other
lights.
So
at
this
juncture,
are
we
prepared
Miss,
Frank,
okay,.
H
A
move
that
the
board
adopt
the
recommendations
for
the
two
amendments,
as
presented
in
the
in
the
provided
agenda
materials,
as
explained
also
bye.
Accordingly,
I
can,
alternatively,.
H
B
H
So
sometimes
we
present
motions
and
amendments
as
Standalone
documents
or
as
here's
what
it
would
look
like
in
this
instance
because
of
the
substantive
work
performed
by
the
audit
committee,
the
auditor,
the
legal
stuff
and
then.
Lastly,
the
policy
committee
it
being
presented
as
such
is
maybe
a
little
out
of
the
ordinary.
But
we
were
not
in
ordinary
circumstances.
E
H
That
is
correct
in
accordance
with
our
policy.
We
would
have
to
be
voting
on
the
original
first
reader
prior
to
all
of
that,
when
we
get
to
the
third
so
or
do
a
cleanup,
I
I
thought
this
meant
was
more
in
accordance
with
our
policy
and
our
policy
intent
to
perform.
The
motion
did
that
answer
your
question:
Miss
Frank
and
follow-up
of
Miss
Dr
Tobin
yeah.
We
good.
B
F
Have
a
Miss,
Ellis,
yeah,
so
I
believe
that
technically,
these
are
not
amendments
because
it
was
remanded
back
to
the
policy
Committee
in
the
document
before
us
is
now
the
policy
that's
presented
to
us.
The
concern
is
if,
if
we
treat
this
simply
as
a
second
reader,
the
document
has
been
altered
and
should
go
back
to
the
public
for
comment
correct
and
it
will.
F
Like
technically,
these
are
not
amendments
okay,
but
it
does
need
to
go
back
to
the
public,
so
I.
For
me,
like
note
to
self,
we
need
to
look
at
our
process
here
to
make
sure
we're
doing
everything.
Technically
correctly.
I,
don't
see
these
as
amendments,
but
if
I
mean
I
I
I
I
can
support
the
motion.
I
just
think
we
need
to
look
at
this
a
little
more
carefully
in
the
future.
All
right
am
I,
correct,
right.
H
I
think
what
may
help
clarify,
because
everything
you
said
is
accurate
to
an
extent
the
original,
the
emotion
that
was
made
to
revert
back
to
policy
Committee.
In
other
words,
our
policy
committee
is
not
only
to
interject
but
provide
that
additional
advice.
In
other
words,
we
may
decide,
after
a
bunch
of
amendments,
that
we
want
the
budget
Committee
in
theory,
to
take
a
look
at
some
things
before
we
proceed
the
pause
and
the
way
we
held
pause.
H
H
What
we
are
presenting.
Our
amendments
to
the
original
recommended,
so
that
is
why
it
was
recommended
I
believe,
but
I
can't
speak
to
about
others
and
honestly,
it
happened
like
60
days
ago,
like
back
in
November,
so
I
I
don't
want
to
speak
to
specifics
or
provide
legal
advice
to
my
fellow
board
members.
H
But
my
understanding
is
by
us
adopting
these
amendments
we're
going
to
come
in
a
little
cleaner
and
I
think,
more
importantly,
a
little
more
transparent
too
as
to
what
it
is
and
by
adopting
them
as
amendments
they
now
qualify
for
the
additional
time
for
comment.
If
we
were
just
did
a
hardcore
Amendment
walk
through,
we
would
either
have
to
go
back
to
First
reader,
or
we
would
be
skipping
the
important
step
of
making
sure
that
our
residents.
P
K
P
B
H
H
So
we
have
a,
we
have
a
motion
on
the
table
with
a
second
and
we
were
about
to
make
a
vote.
There
was
a
clarification
and
request
for
reader
of
the
motion.
I
made
that
and
provided
the
clarify,
clarifying
points
of
information,
which
is
what
I
assumed
they
to
be
Miss.
Ellis
then
made
another
comment:
that's
the
opening
by
its
acceptance
of
the
comment
it
reopened
it
to
deliberation
and
comment
and
I
was
just
doing
one
final
comment
and
I
believe
at
least
in
my
brain.
B
B
P
Yes,
policy,
JG
student
fees,
fines
and
charges
is
before
the
board
on
first
reading.
This
policy
has
not
been
reviewed
since
May
20th
1991
and
is
being
updated
to
reflect
current
aacps
practices
and
to
align
with
the
requirement
of
the
blueprint
for
Maryland's
future
that
students,
meeting,
College
and
Career
ready
standards
will
have
access
to
post
college
and
career-ready
Pathways
at
no
cost
to
students,
and
with
that
I'd
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
E
That's
awesome,
so
it
wasn't,
it
hasn't
been
revised
since
I
was
a
freshman
in
high
school.
It
is
time
which
is
a
long
time
ago.
All
right,
I,
I,
just
have
a
comment.
I
do
not
have
a
question
about
this.
I
just
have
a
comment,
and
that
is
this
is
this
is
awesome.
E
B
F
Ellis,
thank
you,
I
largely
agree,
but
not
entirely,
but
I
just
want
to
bring
out
I
I
brought
this
question
up
in
policy
committee,
but
I
want
to
bring
it
to
light
here
so
in
in
the
proposed
policy
for
students
deemed
CCR,
Career,
College
and
Career
ready
aucps
will
pay
for
the
full
cost
of
advanced
placement
tests,
International
Baccalaureate
assessments,
Career
and
Technical
Education
certification
assessments
and
tuition
fees
for
aacps,
Approved,
CTE,
Pathways,
dual
enrollment
for
college
and
signature
program
courses.
F
As
a
parent
with
my
fourth
high
school
student,
I've
I've,
been
paying
for
AP
exams.
All
throughout
I
I
have
to
I
have
to
admit
I'm
going
to
enjoy
that
refund
check.
For
this.
L
M
F
My
bank,
you
know,
for
my
own
bank,
account,
but
to
be
honest,
we
have
so
many
priorities
that
that
those
families
that
can
afford
these
things
I
feel
like
they
should
pay
them
they're
getting
a
bargain,
because
it's
replacing
a
college
class
in
a
lot
of
cases,
but
we
I
I
was
told
this
is
in
state
law.
It's
in
the
blueprint
I
just
wanted
to
bring
all
this
to
light.
I
I
I
have
concerns
about
our
our
dollars
meeting
the
greatest
needs.
F
First
and
and
many
of
us
parents
have
been
paying
for
these
exams
for
years.
I've
I
can't
count
how
many
I've
paid
for
now,
but
it
was
something
I
was
willing
to
do,
and
now
it's
in
state
law
that
it's
basically
it's
going
to
be
paid
for
by
acps.
Buyer
taxpayers
just
want
to
bring
that
to
light.
Thank
you.
G
Yes,
thank
you.
I
had
a
quick
question
on
item
five,
any
student
who
violates
state
or
local
law
or
regulation
and
as
a
result
of
this
violation,
damage
destroyed
blah
blah.
So
can,
can
you
just
explain
to
me
what
that
entails,
so
they
will
be
responsible
for
reimbursing
the
school
system
for
just
the
property.
Or
can
you
just?
Can
you
just
go
through
that
a
little
bit
for.
P
Me
please
State
regulation
requires
that
every
school
system
adopt
a
regulation
that
addresses
restitution.
It
requires
that
if
a
student
commits
a
violation
of
state
law,
local
law
or
local
regulation
or
state
regulation
that
the
student
is
required
to
to
submit
reimbursement
for
that
or
the
student's
family,
we
are
currently
going
through
the
process
of
reviewing
regulation
jcgra.
P
We
felt
that
this
was
an
appropriate
Crawford
cross-reference
to
make
here,
because,
while
this
addresses
fees
and
fines,
it's
not
every
fee
and
fine.
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
families
were
aware
that
this
was
a
policy
and
practice
and
that
they
could
reference
regulation
jcgra
to
find
more
information
on
it.
G
P
H
H
Perhaps
when,
if
the
policy
passes
when
the
policy
passes,
you
know
when
that
we
could
remind
the
parents
that
they
are
receiving
this,
that
had
traditionally
been
paid
for
by
the
families
and
if
they
would
like
to
take
that
fee
and
equivalency
to
donate,
to
the
program
that
they're
paying
the
fee
for
or
to
that
local
school
or
to
a
specific
project
to
the
21st
century,
Foundation
that
we
would
still
be
willing
to
take
those
dollars
for
that
program
or
otherwise,
but
instead
as
a
donation
is,
is
that
something
that
maybe
I
don't
know
logistically
or
otherwise?
H
But
it
seems
like
there
may
be
opportunities,
maybe
for
some
of
those
families
who
were
contributing
to
offset
some
of
our
costs.
This
way
could
decide
voluntarily
to
maybe
take
that
fee
and
and
give
it
back
to
the
school
in
another
different
way,
but
just
a
thought
to
throw
out
there
to
the
community
at
large
and
in
general,
when
we
are
able
to
provide
this
through
taxpayer
dollars,
particularly
to
comply
with
laws.
Not
to
mention
the
intrinsical
value
that
this
is
going
to
have
for
many
students
who
have
had
ongoing
barriers
in.
H
R
Well,
I
just
want
to
say,
I
think
this
is
a
great
day
for
students.
I
know
when
I
was
talking
with
students,
they
always
wanted
more
opportunities
to
get
involved
in
higher
education.
So
this
is
just
wonderful,
as
the
student
representative
of
the
board
to
be
able
to
you
know,
bring
their
voice
forward
and
have
more
opportunities.
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
here
that
helps
support
students
in
attaining
higher
education,
specifically
this
policy.
So
thank
you
so
much.
