D

Thank
you,
members
of
the
board
and
dr
arlatto.
We
talk
all
the
time
about
our
schools
being
focal
points
in
our
communities.
Today
we
are
thrilled
to
talk
about
a
school
and
community
that
have
worked
together
to
achieve
greatness
again
on
monday
shipley's
choice.
Elementary
school
was
one
of
six
schools
across
our
state
named
a
maryland
blue
ribbon
school
of
excellence.
D
D
E
Was
hours
and
hours
and
hours
and
mary
ellen
street
was
our
principal
and
I'm
just
so
excited
about
this
and.
D
D
Our
kids
are
awesome,
but
they
are
that
way
because
of
the
equally
awesome
parents,
guardians
and
community
partners
who
support
them
and
our
school
every
day
our
teachers
and
staff
are
awesome
as
well,
and
their
dedication
to
our
children
is
second
to
none
that
awesomeness.
If
I
can
use
that,
word
can
be
seen
in
every
classroom
every
day.
It's
been
that
year
way
for
years,
and
everyone
past
and
present
in
the
shipley's
family
has
a
piece
of
this
honor.
D
The
blue
ribbon
schools
program,
honors,
schools
that
excel
or
significantly
improve
in
reading
and
math
exams,
as
measured
by
state
assessments.
In
order
to
achieve
blue
ribbon
status,
schools
must
meet
standards
established
by
the
maryland
and
u.s
departments
of
education.
Shipley's
choice
has
historically
been
among
the
highest
performing
schools
in
maryland
on
statewide
assessments.
D
Last
year,
more
than
89
percent
of
the
school's
third,
through
fifth
graders
scored
a
four
or
five.
The
level
designated
as
indicating
students
are
on
pace
to
be
college
and
career,
ready
on
the
parcc
math
assessment,
and
nearly
88
percent
hit
that
mark
on
the
english
language
arts
assessment.
More
than
95
percent
of
students
in
grades
three
through
five
scored,
proficient
or
advanced
on
the
maryland
school
assessment,
the
precursor
to
park
in
each
of
the
final
four
years
of
the
assessment.
D
Shipley's
is
now
a
candidate
for
national
blue
ribbon
honor,
and
I
fully
expect
that
we
will
be
back
here
next
fall
when
those
awards
are
announced.
Principal
burke
and
some
of
her
students,
parents
and
teachers
are
here
today,
along
with
former
principal
rocco
ferretti
as
they
come
forward.
Please
join
me
in
congratulating
them
for
the
work
they
do
every
day.
F
G
A
Today
we
recognize
an
educator
in
our
school
system
who
really
understands
how
students
learn
and
he
uses
humor
kindness
and
patience
to
provide
excellent
instruction
to
elementary
school
boys
and
girls.
He
holds
high
yet
reasonable
expectations
for
his
students
and
encourages
them
to
take
risks
and
try
new
things.
A
The
most
amazing
aspect
of
patrick's
work
is
that
he
has
developed
the
instrumental
music
program
to
a
size
that
requires
him
to
instruct
full
time
at
school
teaching
band
and
strings.
The
instrumental
music
program
at
piney
orchard
is
215
students
strong
in
order
to
provide
maximum
time
for
individual
instruction
and
support.
He
has
specifically
arranged
his
schedule
so
that
by
choice
he
has
little
planning
time
because
he'd
rather
spend
the
time
with
his
students.
A
A
More
evidence
of
patrick's
effectiveness
is
that
he
retains
a
large
number
of
those
215
student
musicians
from
year
to
year.
Everyone
loves
mr
alexander
at
piney
orchard.
He
is
a
valued
member
of
the
school
community
and
known
by
all
students,
not
just
the
ones
he
teaches
patrick
also
participates
in
the
student
mentoring
program.
He
serves
as
master
of
ceremonies
for
many
school
events
and
organizes
a
school-wide
sing-along
the
day
before
winter
break.
A
Each
morning
he
works
with
students
to
produce
the
morning
announcements
and
he
organizes
the
entertainment
portion
of
the
volunteer
tea
each
year.
He
understands
the
importance
of
the
home
school
community
connection
and
invites
parents
to
help
him
with
tuning
instruments
and
helping
out
with
winter
and
spring
concerts.
A
A
He
collaborated
with
colleagues
in
his
school
cluster
to
establish
an
annual
cluster
concert
for
students
in
grades
3
to
12.,
patrick
alexander.
Your
effectiveness,
as
a
teacher
and
your
enthusiasm
overseeing
your
students,
learn
and
grow
each
day
are
just
a
few
reasons
for
your
recognition
today.
So
on
behalf
of
the
board
of
education,
the
students,
teachers
and
staff
in
the
piney
orchard
community
and
the
entire
anne
arundel
county
public
schools.
Congratulations
on
being
chosen
as
educator
of
the
month
for
december
2016..
A
H
G
A
M
Today
we
recognize
an
employee
in
our
school
system,
a
man
we
find
who
works
hard
wants
to
help.
Others
is
a
positive
influence
on
both
students
and
staff
and
always
conducts
himself
with
professionalism
and
dignity.
Tim
williams,
student
advocate
at
south
river
high
school,
is
pressed
into
many
roles
in
his
position.
At
times,
tim
is
a
person.
M
Mr
williams
finds
the
most
joy
in
his
life
when
he's
helping
others
anything
you
ask
of
tim
he's
more
willing
to
do.
Tim
is
the
employee
who
sits
in
the
classroom
of
a
teacher
who
suspects
there
may
be
a
troublesome
situation
developing
between
two
or
more
students
he's
a
fellow
who
will
meet
the
staff
member
at
an
auto
service
station
at
six
o'clock
in
the
morning
to
make
sure
that
staff
member
arrives
to
work
on
time.
M
So
there
is
no
excuse
in
that
school
for
a
teacher
to
be
late
here
is
he
is
the
one
who
takes
on
the
administrative
duty
of
welcoming
the
buses
and
faculty
into
the
building
each
morning
at
6
30
and
he's
the
one
who
has
taken
on
the
duty
of
assisting
the
ap
scholars,
with
their
student
seminar
by
gathering
books
and
being
responsible
for
the
class
period
tim
more
than
anyone
else
at
south
river
makes
the
school
a
more
positive
place
as
each
day
he
goes
above
and
beyond.
His
job
of
student
advocate.
M
Students
in
the
school
are
extremely
comfortable
going
to
him
with
any
problems
that
arise.
Academically
or
personally.
Teachers
in
the
school
are
extremely
comfortable,
going
to
tim
for
assistance,
as
they
know,
he'll
get
the
job
done.
Not
only
does
tim
perform
his
advocate
position,
duties
flawlessly.
M
Tim
is
a
three-season
coach
at
south
river
and
assists
the
athletic
department
in
any
way.
He,
coaches
boy,
scott
soccer,
girls,
basketball
and
softball,
he's
a
member
of
various
athletic
committees
and
is
a
major
force
in
the
edgewater
community
as
the
result
of
his
involvement
with
his
church
and
the
recreation
and
parks
community,
miss
tim
williams.
M
Your
character
is
second
to
none,
as
you
positively
influence
the
lives
of
2200
students
at
south
river
high,
whether
it
is
through
the
fellowship
of
christian
athletes,
coaching
sports
or
merely
being
friendly
faced
in
the
cafeteria,
your
presence
is
always
felt
in
the
school.
So
for
these
reasons
and
more,
the
board
of
education
is
honored
to
recognize
your
employee
of
the
month
for
december
2016..
M
C
M
N
An
appreciative
reading
teacher
endorsed
december's
volunteer
of
the
month,
her
contagious
energy,
welcomes
and
inspires
our
new
volunteers
to
enthusiastically
support
our
students
and
teachers.
She
comes
to
school
every
day
with
a
smile
and
is
eager
to
help
wherever
she
is
needed
today,
the
board
of
education
is
playing
to
please
to
join
the
staff,
students
and
families
of
marley
elementary
to
honor
their
devoted
volunteer.
Mrs
amanda
jones,
with
the

grade.
Teacher
shirley
harrison
knows
mrs

Well,
her

writes
ms
harrison.
N
Mrs
jones
works
tirelessly
each
day,
happily
completing
a
variety
of
tasks
requested
by
teachers,
some
of
which
are
very
labor
and
time
intensive
she'll
even
take
a
project
home
to
ensure
it's
completed
for
the
next
day.
I'm
so
pleased
that
mrs
jones
is
receiving
this
well-deserved
recognition,
principal
christy
bautista
agrees.
Amanda
is
a
dedicated
volunteer
and
a
strong
advocate
for
our
school.
Her
compassion
and
dedication
for
all
students
and
teachers
ensures
they
receive
the
support
needed
for
success.
No
request
is
too
big
or
too
small
for
amanda.
N
She
expertly
trains,
other
volunteers
to
use
the
copier
and
laminating
machine,
so
they
too
can
aptly
assist
teachers
and
staff

organizes
the
annual
school

their
fundraising

Principal
christie
batista
sums
up
mrs
jones
exceptional
service.
By
recalling
author
terry
excuse
me,
if
I
ruin
this
last
name,
doula
may
go
limits
words.
N
The

helped
by
the
faithful
arms
of

adds
here
at

Q
P
All
the
all
the
hours
that
I
put
in
with
it
with
you
right
now,
one
of
our
reading
teachers
and
two
of
our
reading
teachers.
R
So
last
week,
missasso
and
I
had
the
extreme
pleasure
of
attending
the
baltimore
symphony
orchestra's
side
by
side
concert,
which
included
our
students
playing
alongside
the
orchestra
and
2
300
of
our
students
from
various
schools
coming
to
see
it
and
the
amazing
emma
balman,
a
student
at
chesapeake
high
school
playing,
the
piccolo.
R
It
was
just
an
awesome
event
and
we're
so
grateful
to
the
baltimore
symphony
to
continue
partnering
with
us
to
give
that
opportunity
for
all
of
our
students.
I
also
last
night,
but
mr
alexander
brought
it
back.
I
attended
the
winter
band
concert
at
monarch,
global
academy
and,
as
I've
said
before,
there's
a
special
place
in
heaven
for
elementary
beginning
band
and
string
teachers
and
having
one
now
in
high
school.
R
I
do
know
they
get
better
and
so
bless
their
hearts
for
listening
to
that
every
week,
and
but
it
was
great
and
the
kids
are
very
enthusiastic
and
I
look
forward
to
the
spring
one
when
perhaps
I'll
recognize
the
music
they
play
and-
and
today
everybody
in
here.
This
is
the
one
time
we're
going
to
tell
you
pull
out
your
phone
and
go
to
facebook.com
to
fab
school
labs.
R
Bates
middle
school
is
a
finalist
for
the
north
of
grunman
foundation.
Fab
school
labs
contest
to
receive
a
complete
science
makeover,
twenty
five
thousand
dollars.
I
think
it
is,
and
we
are
one
of
the
finalists
since
the
day
is
the
day
you
can
vote
for
bates.
So
everybody
pull
out
your
phone
and
go
to
fab
school
labs
on
facebook
and
vote
for
bates
element
bates
middle
school,
because
that
would
be
a
wonderful
thing
for
that
school
and
that's
my
last
one.
For
today.
S
Yes,
thank
you.
There
are
so
many
wonderful
things
going
on,
but
I
do
with.
I
do
want
to
do
a
quick
shout
out
to
our
high
schools
and
athletics
over
the
course
of
the
fall
we
compete
so
well.
We've
got
fantastic
coaches,
great
support
from
parents,
our
athletic
directors,
principals
and
schools
as
whole,
and
so
we've
had
a
really
good
fall.
The
fall
athletics
program,
wrapped
up
over
the
thanksgiving
break,
with
our
fabulous
annapolis
panthers
playing
in
the
state
semifinal
football
game
at
quince
orchard.
I
was
able
to
go
to
the
game.
S
It
was
a
lot
of
fun
great
crowd,
but
I
do
want
a
quick
shout
out
to
arundel
high
school
for
winning
the
cheerleading
championship
for
the
state.
Also,
we
have
two
other
state
championships:
chesapeake
high
school
won
the
field
hockey
3a
championship
and
south
river
high
school
won
the
4a
field
hockey
championship.
I
was
lucky
enough
to
be
at
both
of
those
games
along
with
bruce
lawton.
We
were
there
in
the
cold
together
at
washington
college.
It
was
a
lot
of
fun.
So
congratulations
to
our
fall.
Sports
teams.
A
And
I'll
just
add
that
saturday
night
I
had
the
chance
to
go
to
annapolis
high
school,
the
class
of
2016,
who
graduated
wrote
a
murder
mystery,
and
then
the
students
who
were
still
there
got
to
perform
it
and
the
students
were
just
amazingly
clever.
They
took
the
game
of
thrones
theme,
but
they
made
it
the
game
of
phones
and
everything
all
of
the
characters
had
to
do
with
an
app
on
our
phone,
so
king
facebook
was
murdered
and
lord
tinder
and
lady
twitter
were
involved
somehow,
so
it
was
just.
A
T
Good
morning,
president
corbilak
dr
arlato
and
board
members
for
the
record,
I'm
alison
pickard,
president
of
the
anne
arundel
county
council
of
ptas.
I
would
like
to
begin
by
congratulating
the
dedicated
parents
of
richard
henry
lee
elementary
for
making
the
leap
and
becoming
our
newest
pta
in
the
county.
We
are
excited
to
bring
them
into
our
pta
family.
They
are
tenacious
advocates
for
their
school
community
and
are
already
engaging
more
families
to
participate.
T
I
would
also
like
to
thank
ray
leone
for
taking
rh
lee
through
the
pta
startup
process.
The
council
has
been
really
busy
in
the
last
month
planning
upcoming
events.
I
have
to
save
the
date
announcements.
Our
first
one
is
our
annual
aacc
pta's
legislative
breakfast
with
anne
arundel
count
with
the
anne
arundel
county
delegation,
which
will
be
held
thursday
morning
february.
T
How
we
can
improve
and
increase
productive
parent
involvement
at
the
middle
school
level
and
one
last
reminder
the
council
is
still
accepting
submissions
for
our
international
inclusion
challenge
from
our
local
school
pta,
so
anybody
out
there
listening,
we
look
forward
to
learning
all
about
the
cool
ways
our
ptas
are
engaging
different
segments
of
their
populations
within
their
buildings.
Thank
you
and
every
child.
One
voice.
U
I
do
want
to
thank
the
board
and
staff
before
I
give
my
report
for
all
of
the
community
and
school
highlights
I'll
say
that
I
as
I
attend
events,
including
an
elementary
strings
concert
last
night,
so
I
second
miss
hummer's
comments,
but
I'm
also
going
to
the
all-county
middle
school
this
saturday
and
to
see
that
development
is
just
extraordinary,
but
every
time
I
go
to
an
event.
I
see
board
members
and
I
see
members
of
the
school
staff
and
we
really
appreciate
that
those
of
us
in
the
community.
U
It
means
a
lot
that
you
support
those
events.
The
citizen
advisory
committee
continues
to
meet
on
the
second
monday
of
every
month
here
in
this
room,
seven
to
nine
pm
we're
skipping
december,
just
because
december
is
a
busy
month
and
we
just
established
our
subcommittee,
so
that'll
give
them
a
chance
to
get
going.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
monday,
the
9th
of
january,
and
at
that
meeting,
we're
going
to
have
matt
stansky
come
in
to
give
us
a
brief
on
the
budget.
U
So
it's
very
timely
with
the
budget
hearings
and
workshops
coming
up
in
january,
so
we
hope
to
be
a
bridge
to
the
community
for
those
discussions
as
that
budget
comes
out,
one
of
our
big
areas
of
focus
this
year,
continuing
from
last
year's
communication
and
both
two-way
communication
communication
from
the
board
to
the
community
really
trying
to
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
about
the
great
opportunities
in
the
school
system,
but
also
giving
feedback
to
the
board.
Recently
bob
mosher
added
all
of
the
csc
committee
members
to
his
distribution
list
for
press
releases.
U
We
greatly
appreciate
that
some
of
our
committee
members
are
not
parents,
and
so
that
enables
us
to
make
sure
that
we're
informed
of
of
what's
going
on.
We
know
this
year
is
a
big
year
of
change
for
the
the
school
system
with
the
calendar
change
school
start
times,
changes
with
the
grading
policy,
including
laude,
so
we're
trying
to
do
our
best
to
help
communicate
that
to
the
community
and
give
feedback
to
the
board,
as
is
relevant
at
our
last
meeting.
U
We
started
talking
about
ways
to
improve
that
communication
and
have
talked
about
maybe
cac
facebook
group
pages
by
cluster,
maybe
some
twitter
feeds,
and
so
we'll
be
talking
with
you
soon
about
constraints
or
preferences
for
you,
but
to
help
us
communicate
as
those
changes
take
place
in
november
kelly
pernell,
our
vice
chair,
gave
you
a
brief
on
the
subcommittees
that
we've
established.
We
have
five
subcommittees
that
will
be
working
on
various
issues
this
year.
U
The
first
is
a
continuing
committee
on
equity
this
year,
they're
going
to
have
a
particular
focus
on
barriers
that
might
prevent
some
of
our
at-risk
students
from
accessing
educational
opportunities
in
the
school
system,
so
they're
going
to
really
try
to
identify
specific
groups
and
specific
educational
opportunities
and
trying
to
make
sure
that
any
barriers
that
exist
and
we
can
work
with
the
school
system
to
eliminate
or
at
least
reduce
those.
We
have
a
new
committee
this
year.
U
Looking
at
bus
transportation,
we
think
that's
timely
with
the
change
in
school
start
times
that
will
be
coming
up
and
there
have
been
some
just
items
identified
in
the
community
with
routes
and
timing
of
buses.
So
we
have
a
committee
that
will
work
with
the
transportation
office
here
to
make
sure
that
that
transition
is
smooth.
We
also
have
a
new
committee
looking
at
I'm
going
to
generalize
it
they're
still
formulating
their
ideas,
but
mental
health
and
life
skills.
U
Our
new
committee
members.
We
really
have
some
extraordinarily
qualified
people
in
mental
health
college
and
career
preparation,
at-risk
populations,
and
so
that
core
group
is
really
looking
to
work
with
the
people
in
the
school
system
to
identify
services
that
exist,
make
sure
the
community
knows
about
them.
If
they're
cluster-specific
services
to
try
to
identify
those
and
disseminate
them
as
best
practices
throughout
the
school
system
and
then
potentially
identify
any
gaps.
U
If
they
exist
to
work
on
that,
and
then
we
have
continuing
committees
both
with
communication
and
with
testing,
and
those
committees
will
continue
their
work
this
year.
Many
of
these
committees
have
been
in
touch
as
people
in
this
room
know
with
people
in
the
school
system
or
will
be
soon
for
their
work.
We
really
appreciate
the
access
that
we're.
Given
I
took
advantage
of
that
last
year.
U
I
think
that
the
board
in
the
school
system
has
provided
just
amazing
access
to
key
personnel
to
allow
us
to
look
into
these
issues,
and
we
very
much
appreciate
that
our
committees
are
just
getting
started
so
as
the
spring
gets
started,
we
look
forward
to
giving
you
further
updates
on
our
progress.
Thank
you.

meeting.
A
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
an
item
not
on
today's
agenda
may
offer
testimony
during
this
public
comment.
Portion
of
the
meeting
speakers
will
be
allotted
three
minutes
each
and
the
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
the
meeting
student
specific
and
personal
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
forum.
This
time
is
intended
for
speakers
to
voice
their
opinion
and
not
necessarily
as
a
question
and
answer
period.
Speakers
may
pose
questions,
but
answers
will
be
counted
toward
the
three-minute
allotment.
A
V
V
We
were
patient
and
we
sat
back
and
figured
our
turn
was
coming
at
some
point,
and
here
we
are
10
years
later
and
our
turn
never
came
now
under
the
current
mgt
study.
Not
only
is
old
mill
high
school
a
priority
one,
but
so
are
both
old
mill,
middle
schools
and
three
of
the
elementary
schools
in
that
feeder
system,
and
yet
already
we're
seeing
our
funding
pushed
back
a
year,
we're
only
a
year
into
the
study
and
we're
already
getting
pushed
off
further
than
where
we
need
to
be.
V
Last
year's
board
projected
a
budget
for
fiscal
year
18,
which
included
design
and
feasibility
study
funding
for
quarterfield
and
rippling
woods
elementary
in
addition
to
a
new
old
mill
high
school
west,
but
now
that
we're
actually
discussing
that
fiscal
year,
18
budget,
the
funding
that
would
follow
behind
it
for
those
schools
and
other
schools
in
the
complex
is
being
pushed
off
to
fiscal
year.
19.
now,
we've
been
told
that
obviously
that's
partially
a
result
of
the
fiscal
year,
17
budget
not
being
fully
funded,
but
last
year
the
projected
budget
for
fiscal
year.
V
Now
this
project
is
immense.
I
understand
restructuring.
This
system
is
complicated,
lengthy
and
expensive
and
believe
me,
I
get
it
it's
one
of
those
projects.
You
just
want
to
push
off
to
the
far
corner
of
your
desk
and
pretend
it's
not
there,
but
we've
there's
already
been
money
included
for
land
acquisition.
We
have
a
master
plan
for
this
complex
and
we're
not
asking
to
be
pushed
ahead
of
anyone
else.
We
just
want
what
we've
been
waiting
for.
V
W
Good
morning
dr
alato
and
board
of
education
for
the
record,
lisa
van
buskirk
will
start
school
later
last
month.
I
testified
about
early
start
times,
teen
sleep
and
teen
drowsy
driving
connection
with
drowsy
driving
a
week
and
having
just
spoken
at
fort
meade's,
sad
chapter,
I
would
have
taken
this
meeting
off,
but
yesterday
a
report
was
released
by
the
aaa
foundation
for
trackpad
safety,
which
places
the
drowsy
driving
issue
back
in
the
media
spotlight.
W
The
report
says
that
the
drivers
who
sleep
only
five
or
six
hours
in
a
24-hour
period
are
twice
as
likely
to
crash
as
drivers
who
get
seven
hours
of
sleep
or
more.
Unless
and
the
less
sleep
the
person
gets
behind
the
wheel.
The
higher
the
crash
rate
drivers
in
the
study,
who
got
four
or
five
hours
of
shed
eye
had
four
times
the
crash
late.
With
less
than
seven
hours
of
sleep.
They
act
like
drunk
drivers.
W
We
wouldn't
let
students
come
to
school
drunk,
but
we
let
them
learn
in
a
similar
kind
of
mental
state,
and
these
numbers
are
based
on
adult
sleep
needs
of
seven
to
eight
hours
and
not
teen.
Sleep
needs
of
eight
and
a
half
to
ten,
so
they
we
place
our
teams
more
at
drowsy
driving
risk
if
they
only
get
seven
six
or
five
hours
of
sleep,
which
is
what
78
percent
of
anne
arundel's
teens
get
as
jack.
W
Nelson
and
the
aaa
aaa
director
for
traffic
safety,
advocacy
and
research
said
teenagers,
older
adults
and
people
who
have
a
sleep.
Debt
are
among
the
highest
risk
groups,
one
in
five
crashes,
one
of
five
crashes,
where
somebody
dies
is
that
crash
involves
a
driver,
who's,
drowsy
or
hadn't
had
enough
sleep
than
it
before.
W
We
should
also
be
mindful
of
the
sleep
patterns
of
our
bus
drivers
and
the
parents
who
transport
our
students
so
that
their
lack
of
sleep
doesn't
further
put
our
students
at
risk.
The
parents
of
a
teen
who
achieved
just
four
to
five
hours
of
sleep
at
night
and
whose
school
started
at
7
35
in
the
morning
in
missouri,
was
killed.
W
Six
years
ago
in
the
middle
of
the
afternoon
for
madrid
driving
the
family
was
interviewed
by
cbs,
the
mother
said
I
knew
about
texting
and
driving
distracted,
driving,
dura
writing
cell
phones,
pair
driving,
drunk
driving.
All
those
things
were
educated
about,
but
not
once
was
there
a
conversation
about
adults,
young
adults
and
drowsy
driving.
Nor
is
there
likely
a
conversation
about
the
role
of
start
times
on
sleep
patterns
like
we've
had
here
in
this
room,
so
it
was
with
high
expectations
that
start
school
later
looks
forward
to
dr
olado's
fiscal
year.
W
Part
of
that
explanation
should
reference
yesterday's
report
on
drowsy
driving
high
expectations
that
dr
olatta's
proposal
for
healthy
and
safe
school
hours
will
address
the
community's
concerns
identified
last
winter
high
expectations
that
dr
alato
and
his
staff
will
use
the
transportation
software
for
the
purpose
for
which
it
was
purchased,
which
was
refining
school
hours,
as
discussed
by
this
board
in
february
2015
and
summarizing
an
email
by
teresa
southern
to
the
sutherland
to
you
two
weeks
ago.
Thank
you
and
I'll
see
you
in
two
weeks.
A
X
X
I
wholeheartedly
support
the
initiative
to
recognize
the
hard
work
and
accomplishments
of
a
broader
swath
of
our
high
achieving
students
by
adopting
the
traditional
three-tiered
latin
honor
system.
I'm
not
yet
convinced,
however,
that
adopting
the
latin
honor
system
means
we
should
abandon
the
traditional
distinctions
of
valedictorian
and
salutatorian.
X
At
our
last
meeting
during
the
staffs
presentation
on
the
proposal,
I
asked
whether
other
school
systems
had
maintained
the
traditional
valedictorian
and
salutatorian
distinctions
along
with
the
three
latin
honor
designations
and
the
staff
said
they
didn't
think
so
I
wasn't
trying
to
put
them
on
the
spot.
I
just
wanted
to
know
in
any
event,
afterward.
X
Consider
what
that
would
mean
for
our
graduates,
particularly
as
they
embark
on
academic
and
professional
careers
that
may
take
them
beyond
our
county.
There
is
a
long
tradition
in
america
of
naming,
valedictorians
and
salutatorians,
and
those
distinctions
remain
with
those
honorees
throughout
their
careers
in
every
walk
of
life.
X
Notable
high
school
salutatorians
include
albert
einstein:
carrie
underwood
michelle
obama,
jimmy
carter,
john
f
kennedy,
john
wayne
and
connie
francis
under
the
system,
as
proposed
class
rank,
would
remain
discernible
to
the
students
and
colleges.
So
it's
not
apparent
that
dropping
the
traditional
valedictorian
and
salutatorian
distinctions
would
necessarily
reduce
competition
to
achieve
the
number
one
ranking.
What
is
clear,
though,
is
that
dropping
the
traditional
valedictorian
and
salutatorian
distinctions
will
each
year
deprive
26
of
our
hard-working
graduates
of
a
distinction
they
would
otherwise
carry
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
A
A
Y
Good
morning
for
the
record,
jeannette
ortiz
legislative
and
policy
council,
we
do
not
have
any
public
comments
for
this
one,
yes
correct.
Oh.
A
And
welcome.
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
board
questions
or
comments
for
the
second
reading
missasso?
I
don't
have.
M
M
Y
Good
morning
again
for
the
record,
jeannette
ortiz
legislative
and
policy
council.
Yes,
there
was
one
public
comment
and
it
was
a
request
for
financial
literacy
to
be
a
required
course
for
high
school
graduation.
Y
K
And
this
is
being
brought
to
you
this
morning
as
an
information
item
only
it's
item
4.05
regarding
the
superintendent's
recommendation
on
redistricting,
with
respect
to
broadneck
and
cape
sinclair
elementary
schools
in
accordance
with
board
policy
and
administrative
reg
j,
a
a
the
superintendent
is
required
to
submit
to
the
board
no
later
than
first
board
of
education
meeting
in
the
month
of
december.
His
recommendation
for
redistricting
the
board.
K
Then
pursuant
to
the
aforementioned
policies,
were
viewed
a
superintendent's
recommendation,
along
with
any
other
recommendations
brought
forward
by
the
board
and
determine
no
later
than
the
end
of
january,
which
to
take
to
both
public
briefing
and
public
hearing
in
order
for
any
redistricting
to
go
forward
in
the
subsequent
year.
The
board
must
take
final
action
no
later
than
april
30th
and
that's
under
state
law.
K
K
K
So
the
packet
that
you
have
before
you
and
again.
This
is
for
information
today.
Only
for
your
consideration.
The
first
few
pages
depict
the
maps
and
diagrams
with
respect
to
the
current
situation
as
it
exists,
and
that
is
the
committee's
recommendation,
so
absent
any
change
in
boundaries
or
redistricting
activities.
K
The
catchment
areas
for
both
schools
will
remain
as
is
and
again
we'll
go
through
that
a
little
bit
more
detail.
The
next
page
contains
the
boundaries
of
the
proposed
redistricting
elements,
as
proposed
by
the
superintendent
and
the
reason
I
breathe
through
that
really
quickly.
Is
I
really
want
to
focus
on
the
committee's
report.
K
This
effort
wouldn't
have
been
possible
without
the
hard
work
and
dedication
of
the
four
committee
members.
That's
chair,
miss
judge,
recording
secretary
ms
mahoney,
miss
chandler
and
mr
gillette,
the
four
members.
This
is
honestly
one
of
the
best
reports.
I've
seen
it's
extremely
thorough,
the
graphics,
the
mathematics
behind
it
are
very
thorough
and
it's
much
the
testament
of
the
hard
work
of
those
fine
individuals
in
many
hours
they
dedicated
to
this
task
and
the
public
hearings,
etc.
That
formulated
and
informed
the
work.
K
It
has
a
enrollment
of
827
and
it
results
in
a
hundred
and
fifteen
point
three
percent
utilization
rate,
I'm
simply
trying
to
bring
to
your
attention
how
the
chart
is
structured.
Cape
sinclair
elementary
school
elementary
school
in
current
year
has
800
room
for
800
students.
In
terms
of
that
prescriptive
state,
rated
capacity
algorithm,
it
has
592
students
attending
the
school,
providing
an
80,
I'm
sorry,
a
74
utilization
rate
of
that
building,
taking
the
recommendation
of
the
committee
and
making
no
adjustments
to
the
boundaries
will
result.
K
So
again
we
will
continue
in
an
over
capacity
condition.
At
broadneck.
Will
continue
in
an
underutilized
condition.
The
committee
did
a
wonderful
job,
explaining
their
rationale
and
going
to
leave
that
to
your
own
reading.
Between
now
and
the
time
we
meet
again
to
to
weigh
your
options,
as
well
as
the
superintendent's
options,
given
the
unanimous
vote
of
the
committee
to
go
for
option
a
which
again
is
maintaining
the
status
quo.
K
K
The
map
depicting
the
geographic
attendance
zone
of
those
students
is
shown
on
page
six,
and
it
would
bring
it
the
current
capacity
if
that
was
to
transpire
or
bring
the
current
utilization
rate,
I'm
sorry
of
broad
neck
from
115
down
to
an
under
option
c
down
to
102
immediately,
and
it
would
bring
up
the
utilization
of
cape
sinclair
from
approximately
74
to
approximately
86..
K
K
The
result
of
that
would
be
to
lower
broad
necks
utilization
from
115
percent
short
term
down
to
again
approximately
102.8
students.
It
would
increase
cape
sinclair's
capacity
from
its
current
74
up
to
about
85.3,
so
the
rationale
is
contained
in
the
text
contained
on
page
nine.
K
This
was
voted
on
by
the
committee
again
and
it
was
a
split
vote
again.
So
a
2-2
tie
for
option
d,
one
important
note
on
both
option
c
and
option
d,
is
that
it
would
necessitate
the
reallocation
of
two
buses.
The
two
bus
routes.
Two
buses
would
essentially
be
impacted,
but
they
would
simply
be
transferred
and
repurposed
from
transporting
today
broadneck
elementary
students
to
the
cape
sinclair.
So
we
would
not
be
adding
buses.
We
would
simply
be
repurposing
two
of
the
buses
that
serviced
those
two
schools.
K
K
K
K
This
option
was
put
forward
as
a
viable
option
by
the
committee,
but
it
was
not
supported
by
the
committee,
so
it
received
no
votes.
The
votes
were
split
amongst
option
c
and
option
d.
I
think
the
most
telling
page
and
the
one
that
that
really
the
committee
I
think
did
the
best
job
on
is
located
on
your
print
page
number
19.,
because
all
the
figures
I've
referenced
today
really
talk
about
the
near-term
effect
and
it's
important
to
take
take
into
account
the
long-term
effect
of
the
redistricting.
K
So
on
page
19,
you'll
see
and
we'll
go
through
it
in
in
order
again
option.
A
the
school
today
is
at
115.3
percent
and
immediately
below
it
you'll
see
in
the
following
years.
It
actually
ticks
up
just
slightly
to
115.6
and
then
broadneck
will
slowly
tick
down
to
115.1,
112.3
and
108.6
again
remaining
over
capacity.
K
K
K
With
that,
I
believe,
will
conclude
our
presentation,
immediate
short
term
other
than
again
to
reinforce
the
fact
that
there's
a
lot
of
information
contained
here
today
is
simply
just
a
delivery
and
the
initial
presentation
you'll
have
ample
time
to
re-look.
At
this
information.
Your
options
include
essentially
adopting
and
moving
forwards.
The
superintendent's
recommendation
modifying
the
superintendent's
recommendation,
rejecting
the
superintendent's
recommendation
in
its
entirety
or
crafting
your
own
series
of
recommendations
that
you
wish
to
bring
forward
to
public
hearing.
K
So
we
will
be
coming
back
before
this
body
shortly
once
you've
had
a
time
to
digest
this
once
you've
had
a
chance
to
hear
some
input,
I'm
sure
from
affected
constituents
and
then
you'll
be
in
an
informed
position
to
decide
which
elements
you
want
to
bring
forward
to
a
public
briefing
and
then
to
a
public
hearing
before
you
are
then
yet
again
placed
in
a
position
have
to
take
a
formal
vote
by
the
end
of
april.
So
this
is
a
rather
lengthy
process.
O
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question.
I
know
it's.
It's
been
almost
a
week
since
I
first
read
this,
so
I
may
not
have
all
of
my
thoughts
properly
probably
there,
but
one
of
the
concerns
of
the
broadneck
community
was
that
bringing
their
population
under
100
would
then
open
their
school
up
for
new,
develop
their
area
up
for
new
development
and
then
more
growth
again
was.
Am
I
characterizing
that
correctly.
K
So
that
that
is
spoken
to
in
the
report
and
I'll
answer,
that,
in
an
indirect
fashion,
okay,.
Z
K
Certainly,
they
rely
on
some
of
the
data
that
the
board
of
education
utilizes
with
respect
to
the
adequate
public
facility
ordinance
just
like
they
were
rely
on
transportation,
data
etc
from
other
elements
of
county
government,
but
we
historically
as
board
of
ed,
have
neither
taken
nor
not
taken
redistricting
actions
based
on
whether
they
do
or
do
not
impact
growth
and
development
activity
within
the
county.
We've
essentially
we're
outside
of
that
process.
Q
O
Historically,
I
guess
it
struck
me
as
an
interesting
motivation
to
not
want
your
school
to
be
redistricted.
I
I'd
never
heard
of
something
like
that
before
it
did
not
struck
me
as
an
option
so,
but
so
explain
it
to
me.
I
know
that
we
use
90
of
state-rated
capacity
in
terms
of
out-of-area
transfers,
but
when
the
county
looks
at
whether
or
not
a
school
zone
is
open
for
development,
do
they
look
at
the
100
percent.
O
K
It's
a
binary
process,
so
it's
either
open
or
closed.
It's
either
fully
open
or
fully
closed.
This
county
does
not
use
an
allocation
method
so
that
if
it
was
open
but
only
open,
for
example,
for
five
students,
you
can
only
have
a
certain
number
of
housing
stock.
It
is
either
fully
open
or
fully
closed
in
a
binary
fashion
and
again
that
is
prescribed
under
county
law
as
it
exists
today.
Okay,.
O
F
Thank
you,
madam
president.
Just
have
two
questions
or
two
question
areas.
If
I
may
the
first,
if
we
can
start
on
pages
10
and
11,
looking
at
the
superintendent's
recommendation
of
option
b,
my
first
question
is
just
looking
at
those
communities
noted
in
red
and
I
see
bellevue
road.
I'm
sorry,
bellevue
drive
well,
bel,
reeve,
sorry,
you
know,
I
think
I
need
glasses
now,
but
this
is
some
small
print,
those
communities
that
are
in
option
b.
That
would
be
routed
to
cape
saint
claire
elementary
under
that
proposal.
F
K
It's
essentially
marginal,
but
if
you
take
a
look
at
it,
one
of
the
things
that
transportation
always
strives
for
is
what's
called
same
side
service.
Some
folks
call
it
right
hand
service,
and
that
is
because
the
the
door
of
the
bus
essentially
is
on
the
forward
right
hand,
side
of
the
chassis
so,
to
the
extent
possible,
we
prefer
to
not
have
youngsters
crossing
crossing
a
road.
So
the
configuration
in
this
case
would
allow
would
allow
a
bus
to
make
the
loop.
K
The
loop
connects
at
college
parkway
in
two
locations
to
make
the
loop
continue
to
pick
up
students
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
road
and
then
reconnect
college
parkway
at
a
at
a
safe
location
where
it
can
make
that
left.
We
do
not.
Buses
are
large
vehicles
and
in
tight
quarters
with,
unfortunately
blind
spots
in
them.
So
we
try
not
to
make
three-point
turns,
so
we
would
not
want
to
have
that
bus
go
to
the
end
of
its
service
area,
mr
gill,
and
make
a
three-point
turn
and
then
come
back
out.
K
The
way
that
it
entered
the
more
safe
option
is
to
allow
the
bus
to
continue
along
that
arc
and
then
reconnect
college
parkway,
just
west
of
the
catchment
area.
There.
F
And
forgive
me
I
should
know
this,
but
is
college
parkway,
state
or
county.
F
My
second
question,
then:
if
we
shift
to
page
three,
where
we've
got
the
the
the
chart-
and
I
know
we've
got-
you
know
some
some
stronger
numbers
at
the
end
of
the
report
as
well.
I'm
just
curious
because
I'm
looking
at
the
occupancy
percentage
line
for
broadneck
elementary
as
it
currently
stands
and-
and
it
looks
like
it's
trending
down
significantly-
where
were
just
for
lack
of
data
at
this
point,
where
we're
somewhat
handicapped
is
we
can't
see
beyond
20
20.?
K
So
our
projections
for
broad
neck
elementary
school,
because
that's
specifically
the
one
you
asked
for-
has
a
state
rating
capacity
of
717..
K
Our
official
education
facility
master
plan
that
this
board
votes
on
every
june
and
is
reviewed
and
adopted
by
both
the
county
government
and
the
state
government
and
has
since
been
approved
by
both
of
those
external
entities.
It
shows
that
by
year,
2025
mr
gilland
broadneck
elementary
school
would
have
750
students
at
it.
K
F
Would
it
be
possible?
You
know
I
hate
to
ask
for
more
more
detail
and
more
leg
work
on
this,
but
just
to
see
that
comparison
of
of
what
it
is
right
now
as
its
redistrict
or
as
its
district
it
right
now,
and
then
what
the
superintendent's
proposal
would
be
out
to
sure.
AA
A
AA
Couple
of
questions
now,
when
you
on
option
b,
I'm
looking
at
the
map-
and
you
say,
excuse
me
what's
happening-
oh
page
11.
when
you
say
one
of
the
concerns
is
that
it
would
see,
would
creates
an
awkward
layout
between
neighborhoods
and
as
I'm
looking
at
the
map.
Does
that
mean
that
blue
that,
just
that
little
blue
air
road
belt,
bella
reeve,
that
section
would
would
continue
to
go
to
broad
neck
and
the
whole
rest
of
that
community
would
be
transferred
to
cape?
Is
that
that's
that's?
Why
I'm
reading
it
right.
K
Now
so
so,
just
to
warrant
you
to
the
the
graphic
you
see,
the
the
numbers
there's
some
sort
of
dark
blue
numbers.
There.
K
605
and
606
correct
those
three
areas
currently
today
go
to
broad
neck
elementary
school.
Okay.
Under
the
superintendent's
recommendation
that
sort
of
salmon
colored
area
north
of
the
loop
road
there
604,
605
and
606
would
be
redistricted
to
cape
sinclair,
so
there
would
be
a
contiguous
boundary.
The
boundaries
of
cape
sinclair
then,
would
remain
intact.
There
wouldn't
be
a
gap
or
a
doughnut
hole,
as
some
people
call
it
there,
so
it
would
maintain
a
contiguous.
So
it's
the
parts
of
the
road
again
outside
of
the
loop
there
that
are
depicted
in
604,
605
and
606.
K
AA
AA
AA
Another
question
just
out
of
interest.
B
AA
They're,
not
the
same
community
and
outside
yeah
see
here's
southern
hills,
and
this
is
another
okay.
Another
question:
now
we
talked
about
out
of
area
transfers
and
they're
they're,
not
from
what
I
gather
a
significant
number
of
out
of
area
transfers
currently
at
broad
neck.
Elementary
and-
and
I
heard
the
number
10
is
that
accurate.
Q
N
K
AA
AA
K
I
mean
I,
I
will
begin
this
and
the
superintendent's
going
to
bring
this
up,
but
I
think
you've
heard
from
the
superintendent
that
he's
keenly
interested
in
aggressively
expanding
pre-k
opportunities
across
the
county.
So
the
direct
answer
to
you
is
is
no
it's
underserved
in
terms
of
pre-k,
where
we're
sort
of
constrained
at
the
moment,
as
you
know,
by
some
of
the
funding
issues,
so
we've
not
been.
C
S
Absolutely
and
alex
is,
is
correct:
we're
going
to
continue
to
look
at
that
and
we're
at
this
stage
because
of
funding
we're
going
to
try
and
do
it
strategically
about
where
we
can
build
it,
where
the
greatest
need
is
now
and
eventually
we'd
like
to
get
to
the
broadneck
peninsula
we'd
like
to
add
seats.
We
also
have
to
look
at
where
we
can
add
seats
where
this
space
is
available.
Well,.
AA
That's
why
I'm
looking
at
cape
sinclair,
I
I'm
just
saying
where
are
the
pre
if
we
need
pre-k
and-
and
I
liked
terry's
remark
because
they're
what's
that
you
said
terry
squeeze
the
limp?
What
was
that
thing
you
said?
AA
Yes?
Is
the
juice
worth
worth
the
squeeze
for
moving
but
then
again
pre-k
to
me
we're
looking
at
cape
saint-claire
and
it's
obviously
under
capacity?
Would
that
be
an
opportunity
to
expand
pre-k?
And
I
don't
know
it's
just
a
thought.
I'm
throwing
out
there
because
I'm
looking
at
this
and
it
doesn't
look
like
option
b
is
I
don't
know,
I'm
not.
O
K
Nelly,
so
we
we
currently
essentially,
as
you
know,
under
federal
algorithm,
we
receive
support
for
tier
one
and
tier
two
students.
So
we
fully
you
know
we
fully
are
essentially
compliant
with
our
obligation
to
provide
pre-k
opportunities
for
those
youngsters.
The
remaining
students
are
essentially
tier,
three
students
and
we
received
no.
We
received
no
county,
no
local
funding
directly
to
support
those.
K
So
in,
in
almost
all
cases,
miss
nelly
cape
sinclair
is
rated
for
800
students
in
option
b,
the
superintendent's
recommendation.
It
would
have
661
students
at
it
still
leaving
about
140
empty
seats
in
the
other
two
options,
the
building
still
rated
for
800.
It
would
have
about
680
children
in
it
under
option
c
and
d,
meaning
there's
still
120,
essentially
opportunities
for
empty
seats.
K
So
all
three
of
those
activities,
whether
ultimately,
whether
the
board
decided
bc
or
d
there
would
be
somewhere
between
120
and
140,
plus
empty
seats
still
remaining
at
cape
sinclair
and
superintendent,
says
we're.
You
know
approaching
this
strategically
so
having
the
opportunity,
if
you
have
120
or
140
empty
seats,
that
creates
the
opportunity
once
we
solve
some
of
the
the
fiscal
limitations,
staffing
limitations,
cape
sinclair
would
absolutely
look
like
a
wonderful
place
to
put
a
pre-k
program.
Yeah.
M
A
M
M
K
M
AB
This
is
not
serving
the
needs,
the
needs
of
our
children.
This
is
causing
undue
emotional
distress,
it's
putting
them
in
a
potentially
dangerous
bus
situation,
and
it's
just,
in
my
opinion,
cruel
to
pull
our
children
out
of
an
environment
that
they
are
used
to
to
possibly
have
new
children
put
into
that
environment,
and
please
remember
these:
are
children
not
a
number
on
a
spreadsheet?
Thank
you.
P
P
We
moved
to
this
community
three
years
ago,
specifically
so
that
my
children
did
not
have
to
switch
schools,
because
I
didn't
think
that
they
would
be
able
to
handle
it,
and
I'm
gonna
try
not
to
repeat
some
of
lauren's
statements.
I'd
like
to
start
out
with
the
fact
that
not
one
parent
showed
up
at
any
of
the
meetings
that
was
in
support
of
redistricting
and
I've
never
really
heard.
Anyone
complain
that
the
school
is
too
big.
P
P
There
are
other
schools
in
the
county
like
edgewater
that
have
many
more
portables
and
have
had
them
for
years,
and
I
do
have
to
say
that
my
fifth
grader
is
in
a
portable
classroom
and
she
absolutely
loves
it.
They
love
it
out
there.
I'd
rather
have
my
child
in
a
portable
than
start
a
new
school
year
in
the
fourth
grade,
which
brings
me
to
my
excuse
me
to
my
daughter,
sorry,
darcy
and
she's.
P
P
AC
Hi
good
morning
dr
alato
and
board
members
I'll
try
not
to
repeat
too
much
of
what
was
said,
but
because
I'm
nervous,
I
wrote
some
stuff
down,
so
I
probably
will
I'll
get
over
the
emotional
stuff
in
a
second.
My
daughter
is
in
first
grade
and
she's.
Also
very
shy
and.
AC
AC
That
said,
please
note
that
I
attended
every
meeting
regarding
this
matter
from
start
to
finish,
so
I
was
present
for
every
public
discussion,
along
with
the
challenges
presented
to
the
panel.
With
this
effort,
I
plan
to
focus
on
numbers
and
percentages
to
demonstrate,
there's
little
to
no
gain
or
relief
to
broadneck.
With
this
redistricting
effort,
the
original
intent
of
the
effort
was
75
to
100
kids.
As
we've
already
discussed,
the
69
would
fall
short
of
that
goal.
We
do
not
want
broadneck
to
become
an
open
school,
whether
you
move
69
75
to
100
kids.
AC
You
have
now
just
opened
broad
neck
for
business.
If
there's
land
developers
will
find
it
as
we
speak,
there
are
homes
being
built
at
the
end
of
shore
acres,
so
those
kids
get
to
move
into
the
school,
as
our
kids
have
to
move
out
now.
School
projections
are
for
every
for
every
ten
homes
they
project
two
students,
it's
just
a
projection,
those
10
or
11
houses
being
built
at
the
end
of
shore
acres.
For
all
we
know
every
every
one
of
those
homes
could
have
two
children
in
it.
AC
That
could
be
20
kids,
while
69
kids
need
to
move
out.
In
addition,
there
are
illegal
residents
that
go
to
broadneck
elementary.
These
are
students
whose
parents
decided
that
they
were
going
to
use
a
different
address
to
send
their
kids
to
the
school.
We
asked
during
the
meetings
how
this
could
be
handled.
The
panel
said
it
was
unprecedented
to
ask
for
everyone
at
the
school
to
verify
their
address,
and
there
is
not
the
time
and
resources
to
do
so.
My
kid
has
to
go
to
another
school
while
potentially
an
illegal
resident
has
to
stay
re-verify.
AC
AC
I
just
want
to
move
to
some
other
statistics
really
quickly.
While
I
see
the
lightest
come
on
the
bus,
my
neighborhood
is
approximately
2.8
miles
from
broad
neck.
The
only
safe
bus
route
for
option
b
is
to
go
through
bay
hills
to
get
to
baydale
to
make
the
safe
left.
My
neighborhood
is
approximately
one
point
miles
1.9
miles
from
the
bay
dale
light
at
that
point,
we're
more
halfway
to
broadneck
elementary
as
you're
taking
our
kids
through
the
neighborhoods,
where
all
of
their
friends
go
to
school.
AC
We
hope
we
all
know
we're
overcrowded
in
anne
arundel
county,
but
just
a
few
publicly
accessible
sense
of
statistics
from
2010
to
2015.
The
county
growth
was
4.9
percent.
The
anne
arundel
county
projections,
2010
in
2020,
were
at
556
100
2030
projected
to
be
572
000
we're
not
getting
any
smaller
we're
getting
any
bigger.
I
realize
I'm
out
of
time,
but
I
have
similarly
similar
projections
for
the
arnold
and
the
cape
population.
We
are
in
a
very
small,
condensed
area
with
the
density,
and
you
put
us
down
at
99
percent
you're
open
for
business.
AC
AD
AD
H
H
Where
should
I
start
everybody's
hit
on
a
lot
of
the
topics
from
an
administrator's
point
of
view?
From
an
educator's
point
of
view,
I
worry
about
all
of
our
children
and
their
social
and
emotional
development
being
shifted
from
school
where
they
have
all
their
friends
where
they've
built
relationships
with
teachers.
H
My
second
grade
daughter
still
goes
to
see
her
kindergarten
teacher,
her
first
grade
teacher
on
a
daily
basis.
They
built
that
community
we're
going
to
be
taking
that
community.
Apart
just
to
meet
a
spreadsheet
number
and,
like
we
said
to
open
up
the
school
to
new
development
to
new
students,
the
problem
is
going
to
stay
there
as
long
as
that
school
only
services,
717
students,
it's
going
to
be
overcrowded,
whether
we're
there
or
another
community
gets
built.
It's
going
to
stay
overcrowded,
please
vote
to
not
redistrict
anyone.
Thank
you.
AE
Good
morning,
madame
peterson
superintendent,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
vladimi
and
my
family,
and
I
are
now
residents
at
the
deep
creek
village
community.
We
have
been
residents
of
the
state
of
maryland
for
a
long
time
and
have
recently
made
a
decision
to
move
to
anne
arundel
county.
Our
top
consideration
in
selecting
a
home
was
a
community.
AE
AE
We
realized
that
no
children
developed
socially
the
same,
and
we
believe
our
child
is
not
alone.
When
it
comes
to
the
time
she
needs
to
learn
about
others
before
establishing
relationships,
we
grew
patients
and
we
saw
results
when
the
community
reached
out
our
children
and
opened
trust
to
make
friends
spend
time
together
and
enjoy
learning.
AE
On
most
days
of
the
week,
our
children
continue
to
stay
together
without
the
children
from
school
when
they
play
on
the
playgrounds
in
the
parks,
attend
classes
after
school
and
learn
to
compete
in
sports.
We
feel
our
school
and
our
children
also
help
us
as
adults
to
find
more
time
in
our
busy
lives
to
be
a
bigger
part
of
our
community.
AE
It's
been
a
complete
surprise
and
a
great
distress
to
us,
as
our
family
find
out
that
only
two
short
years
later,
we
are
facing
a
separation
from
our
community
and
our
school.
We
had
all
confidence
in
state
and
local
government
agencies
test
with
projecting
data,
zoning
and
planning
to
properly
make
decisions
that
affect
lives
of
future
fellow
county
residents
and
future
of
the
county,
its
young
children.
AE
We
ask
you,
please
consider
that
our
family
and
many
other
members
of
our
community
diligently
took
the
time
away
from
our
children
and
participated
in
all
committee
proceedings
to
share
very
important
information
about
transportation,
parking
safety,
diversity,
enrollment
projections
and
feedback
from
school
administration.
We
ask
you,
please
consider
committee's
main
recommendation
and
other
options
if
necessary.
We
hope
you
will
find
fair
resolution
to
this
matter
and
will
put
children
before
forecasts
and
perfect
maps
in
your
decisions.
Thank
you
very
much
for
your
attentions
and
assistance
in
advance.
L
Afternoon
my
name
is
craig
davis
and
I
apologize
for
not
coming
up
sooner.
I
actually
am
a
teacher
at
broadday
elementary,
and
I
really
wanted
to
hear
parents
had
to
say,
because
I
have
not
had
a
chance
to
be
present
a
lot
of
young
music
and
similar
to
my
colleague.
We
saw
earlier
side
note
patrick
alexander.
I
have
to
leave
and
go
prepare
for
my
wife's
music
concert,
so
apologize
for
looking
a
little
rushed.
L
I
had
something
I
wanted
to
say,
but
now
I'm
not
sure
what
I
wanted
to
say
because
I'm
hearing
all
this
new
information.
I
know
the
fact
that
we
have
a
great
school
at
broad
neck
and,
above
all
else,
I
advocate
for
those
kids
and
the
notion
of
separating
some
of
these
families
has
bothered
me
to
an
extent.
Now.
I
don't
have
a
horse
in
this
race
because
I'm
just
a
teacher
there,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
great
families
and
great
support.
L
I'm
curious
if
there
is
another
option
in
the
future,
instead
of
doing
this
now,
rather
than
finding
something,
as
mr
grandin
said,
not
only
grandfathering
some
students
and
siblings
or
finding
a
way
to
redistrict
upcoming
students.
So
it's
not
a
huge
shift
now.
Would
that
be
totally
feasible?
I'm
not
sure.
I
just
know
that
the
numbers
themselves
do
support
what
you're
saying
about
cape
sinclair
to
the
extent
we
do
it.
I
do
not
know
either.
L
So
if
I'm
sounding
neutral,
it's
because
I
am
but
I
know
the
fact
that
our
school
is
fantastic
and
these
people
are
here
to
vouch
for
them,
so
I
will
vouch
for
them
as
well,
because
I
teach
I
can
say
almost
multiple
of
their
children
in
here,
but
I
think
it's
worthwhile
to
hear
what
they
have
to
say.
Not
so
much
as
what
the
numbers
dictate
and
numbers
are
important
as
far
as
going
through
and
really
facilitating.
L
What
will
change
so
honestly,
I
might
have
had
one
way
or
another,
but
I'm
not
sure
how
I
exactly
feel.
I
think
the
important
thing
for
everyone
on
the
board,
dr
arlatto
and
all
you
consider,
is
that
they
are
families.
These
are
more
than
just
numbers.
These
are
people,
but
also
think
about
the
livelihood
of
everyone.
So
I
apologize
if
I'm
spouting
off
nonsense
at
this
point.
L
But
frankly,
I
just
want
to
come
clear,
conscious
to
hear
what
everyone
had
to
say,
and
I
appreciate
your
time
presence
and,
above
all
else,
that
broadneck
is
a
great
community,
great
people.
I
know
cape
saint
claire
is
a
great
school
too,
but
I
hope
in
your
interest
you
listen
to
what
all
these
fine
people
have
to
say
and
good
terms
come
to
a
decision
that
will
be
equitable
and
fair
for
everyone.
Thank
you.
AD
AD
As
the
committee
stated
in
their
proposal,
there
are
no
parental
or
administrator
complaints
about
overcrowd
about
overcrowding
or
the
use
of
portable
classrooms
at
broadneck
elementary.
There
is
no
evidence
to
illustrate
that
current
students
are
being
impacted
negatively
by
the
use
of
portable
classrooms
and
test
scores
for
students
at
broadneck.
Do
not
suggest
that
the
number
of
students
at
the
school
has
in
any
way
negatively
impacted
the
level
of
education
that
students
have
received.
AD
Moreover,
as
the
num,
as
the
projected
numbers
suggest,
enrollment
numbers
have,
rodnick
will
decrease
over
the
course
of
the
next
four
years,
thereby
self-correcting
any
real
overcrowding
issue.
Lowering
broad
next
capacity
now
simply
opens
it
up
for
future
residential
development
to
occur,
thereby
compounding
and
recreating.
This
short-term
course
of
action
seeks
to
alleviate.
AD
Furthermore,
redistricting
students
from
broad
neck
to
cape
creates
a
transportation
strain
on
cape
sinclair
elementary
school.
Since
cape
sinclair
is
considered
a
walking
school,
there
are
already
constraints
with
buses
and
car
riders
getting
to
school
on
time,
as
it
currently
is,
given
the
limited
access
roads
into
the
school.
AD
AD
I
feel
it's
irresponsible
of
our
school
leaders
to
proceed
with
the
redistricting
decision
that
disregards
the
well-being
and
overwhelming
consensus
of
its
constituents,
and
I
strongly
urge
you
to
consider
the
negative
impact
on
both
schools
and
the
supporting
communities
that
this
will
cause.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
AF
Hello,
my
name
is
jen
denny
and
I
have
three
boys
at
broadneck,
elementary
kindergartner,
a
second
grader
and
fourth
grader.
So
this
looks
good
on
paper
right.
Why
didn't
anyone
from
the
parent
committee
vote
for
it?
It
got
zero
votes.
The
reason
why
it
moves
25
percent
of
our
african-american
population
at
broadneck,
elementary
away
from
the
school
greatly
changing
the
diversity
culture
at
the
school.
We
had
a
parent
that
was
on
the
committee
that
became
so
upset
at
the
notion
of
this,
and
she
was
an
african-american.
AF
She
thought
my
children
are
going
to
go
to
school
and
not
see
other
kids
like
themselves
and
what
type
of
culture
is
that
for
them
to
be
raised
in
so
this
was
the
reason
that
this
was
not
even
addressed
later
on
in
the
in
all
of
the
committee
meetings.
It
was
not
even
an
option
really,
which
is
why
I
got
zero
votes,
so
this
is
something
that
really
affects
all
of
our
students.
One
of
the
reasons
why
we
all
love
broadneck
elementary
is
because
of
its
culture.
AF
We
love
the
community,
we
love
the,
although
not
as
diverse
as
some
of
the
other
schools.
We
love
the
fabric
that
we
have
there
and
to
be
able
to
really
change
that
by
moving
69
students,
but
of
that
which
is
seven
to
eight
percent
of
the
school
population.
We're
changing
the
the
minority
population
by
25
or
more
that's
a
big
deal
so
for
all
of
our
students.
I
feel
like
that's
something
we
need
to
address
here.
We
need
to
look
at
while
it
looks
good
on
paper.
AF
AF
AF
I
want
my
students
to
be
tolerant
of
every
single
race,
religion,
diverse
scenario
that
could
happen,
and
I
want
for
my
kids
to
be
able
to
know
that
as
a
community
we're
able
to
get
up
and
we're
able
to
fight
for
each
other
to
stay
within
our
own
school
district.
As
we
are,
please
vote
against
the
redistricting.
A
AF
L
A
AF
No
one
vote.
No
one
voted
for
this
option
to
be
the
option
that
was
presented
to
dr
arlatta,
but
then
it
could
be
brought
forward
as
a.

The
committee
was
made
up

members
of
the
com
of
the
community
that
have
kids
at
broadneck

and
also
you've
heard
from
a
lot

the
members

the
community
here
that
have
kids
at
broad

elementary
school
that
are
experiencing
this

overpopulation

it
just
how
the
committee's
recommendation
stated,
essentially
that
we're
happy
with
the
way
things
are-
and
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
that
the
current
arrangement
works
for
the
people
that
are
affected
by
it,
such
that
all
of
the
other
options
are
really
solutions
to
a
problem

doesn't

Q
Q
Z
Z
Option
b
would
send
25
percent
of
the
african-american
population
to
cape
saint
claire
from
broad
neck.
The
entire
belief
loop
makes
up
half
of
the
african-american
population
at
broad
neck,
not
only
that
we
have
a
relatively
statistically
large
size
of
an
asian
population
as
well.
It's
a
diverse
neighborhood
to
be
pulling
and
pulling
apart.
We
are
a
community
and
we
need
to
be
together
and
we
want
to
stay
a
broad
neck.
Thank
you.
AH
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
jody
pratt
and
I'm
a
mother
of
two
children
currently
attending
veronica
elementary.
I
also
live
in
deep
creek
village,
along
with
most
of
my
friends
here,
along
with
the
other
members
of
our
community.
I
am
extremely
concerned
about
the
recommendation
to
redistrict
us
to
from
broadneck
to
cape
sinclair.
AH
AH
To
the
teachers
that
are
in
support
of
redistricting
or
anyone
else,
that
is
in
support
of
this,
we
understand
that
your
classrooms
are
large
by
making
a
mistake.
If
these
69
children
move
nvs
is
once
again
considered
open,
another
developer
will
come
in
and
the
numbers
will
go
right
back
up
to
where
they
are,
if
not
higher
you're
going
to
be
losing
one
to
two
children
from
your
classrooms
and
that's
it.
These
children
are
losing
a
lot
more
than
that
they're
already
under
enough
stress
in
their
lives.
Why
are
we
adding
to
that?
AH
AI
All
right,
thank
you.
My
name
is
ashley.
I
am
representing
the
bay
hill
townhouse
glove
community,
the
orange
and
yellow
playground.
I
stand
here
with
all
of
my
fellow
people
in
the
community.
I
am
raising
two
children,
a
current
first
grader
and
a
incoming
kindergartner.
AI
We
feel
fortunate
to
be
able
to
live
in
the
broad
neck
school
district
and
even
though
we
feel
fortunate,
like
many
we've
worked
hard
for
it,
we've
made
the
choice
to
pay
the
higher
cost.
We've
even
chose
to
live
in
a
smaller
home,
so
our
daughters
can
receive
the
broad
neck
school
district
education.
AI
Once
again,
I
do
appreciate
opportunity.
I
don't
discount
that
this
is
an
easy
decision
for
you
to
make
and
our
heartfelt
testimonies,
I'm
sure
just
make
it
all
that
more
harder,
but
again
hearing
these
stories.
I
think,
helps
us
not
to
make
a
decision
blindly.
So
again,
thank
you.
Our
daughter
is
excelling
at
broad
neck,
but
she
didn't
start
that
way.
Vera
has
been
working
with
your
special
education
team
at
broad
neck
since
day.
One
in
kindergarten
vera
is
an
intelligent
and
she
is
a
creative
child.
AI
AI
It
is
my
fear
that
pulling
a
child
like
vera
from
her
team
and
starting
her
over
again
in
her
new
and
unknown
environment
will
start
to
diminish
that
confidence.
That
is
taking
time
to
set
in
place,
of
course,
where
I'm
here
today
to
defend
my
little
unit.
I
tell
you
about
vera
in
our
situation,
because
we're
not
alone
iep
or
not
the
foundation
for
many
of
these
children
have
been
set
because
of
your
team
of
teachers
and
staff
employed
that
have
worked
and
cared
for
our
children.
AI
The
confidence
is
grounded
because
they
trust
their
parents
and
their
prayer
care
providers.
That
will
do
our
part
if
they
do
theirs.
If
you
choose
to
redistrict
these
children
and
they
do
not
transition
well,
it
will
be
at
the
cost
of
their
well-being
and
a
life-altering
choice
for
many.
So
I
ask:
is
the
redistrict
worth
the
struggle?
Will
you
accomplish
what
needs
to
be
done
and
more
importantly,
was
it
for
the
right
reasons?
Thank
you
for
today.
A
M
Can
I
ask
a
question
sure
I
have
a
question,
and
this
is
pretty
much
for
the
board
and
the
administration
as
such
the
option
b,
which
is
the
option
by
dr
arlodo,
and
we
have
to
add
one
bus?
Is
there
any
way
we
could
find
out
the
cost
of
basically
keeping
those
extra
good
alex?
Can
answer
that
one
keeping
the
you
know
what
would
be
the
cost
of
adding
a
bus
financially
the
driver,
the
gas
everything
the
liability,
the
insurance
compared
to
basically
keeping
the
extra
students
over
there
if
there
is
any
cost.
K
So
again
for
the
record
I'll
check
chief
operating
officer,
as
I
testified
earlier,
under
all
under
all
four
scenarios.
Actually,
there
is
not
any
extra
buses,
it's
bus,
neutral,
so
under
dr
arlatta's,
our
recommendation,
which
is
option
b.
One
existing
bus
that
currently
services
broad
neck
elementary
school
will
be
redeployed
that
same
bus.
The
same
driver,
one
bus
that
currently
services
broadneck
elementary
school
will
be
redeployed
to
service
cape
sinclair.
So
there
is
not
none
of
these
four
options
anticipate
having
additional
buses
that
are
required
to
be
procured
and
put
in
service.
B
K
That's
as
you
can
see
in
in
the
graphics,
the
schools
are
relatively
close
together.
So
you
know,
the
mileage
to
one
side
is
offset
by
the
mileage
to
the
other
two
schools
and
you
can
go
to
any
of
the
the
maps
of
essesso
and
I
know
as
the
crow
flies
isn't
a
fair
way
to
look
at
it.
But
you'll
see
that
broadneck
elementary
and
cape
sinclair
elementary
only
2.17
miles
apart
from
each
other.
So
well.
K
So,
if,
if
under
any
under
any
option
that
the
board
would
contemplate,
should
you
complement
contemplate
an
option
that
would
require
us
to
put
a
new
bus
in
the
service
which
again
none
of
the
four
options
currently
do?
But
if
any
option
that
you
arrived
at,
that
would
you
can
essentially
assume
like
73
74
000
for
a
bus
would
be
a
good
annual
cost,
but
again
as
it
sits
today,
none
of
those
options
contemplate
any
fiscal
impact
in
terms
of
acquiring
new
buses,
new
drivers
or
establishing
new
routes.
M
O
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
something
I
had
mentioned
earlier
and
alex
it's
good
that
you're
here,
because
you
can
always
verify
for
me
if
I'm
correct
or
not
when
I
had
been
talking
about
the
adequate
public
facilities
question,
which
is
I
mean,
even
though
it's
not
our
decision,
and
I
know
that.
That's
not
what
we
do.
O
If
a
builder
puts
in
a
proposal,
if
we
haven't
made
capacity
in
their
school
building
in
six
years,
they
can
build
anyway.
So
there's
no
advantage
to
keeping
a
school
overcrowded,
except
that
your
the
kids
are
in
an
overcrowded
school,
because
eventually
a
builder
is
going
to
build
they'll,
just
wait.
It
out
right.
K
There's
been,
as
you
said,
numerous
court
cases
here
in
anne
arundel
county
when
the
adequate
public
facilities
ordinance
was
was
written
and
and
reauthorized.
Yet
again,
a
number
of
years.
After
that,
a
significant
amount
of
research
was
put
into
the
defensibility
of
what's
called
the
the
waiting
period
or
the
whole
period,
and
six
years
seems
to
be
about
a
reasonable
zone
that
a
public
entity
such
as
the
anne
arundel
county
government,
could
defend
beyond
that.
K
You
really
begin
stretching
the
the
limits
of
the
constitution
and
you're
subject
to
an
overturn,
so
here
in
anne
arundel
county,
when,
when
an
applicant
makes,
makes
a
permit
application
for
a
subdivision
and
development
to
create
a
new
development
from
land.
As
previously
undeveloped,
there
is
an
adequate
public
facilities
test,
that's
undertaken
at
that
time.
I
earlier
expressed
the
binary
nature
of
the
apfo
law.
If
a
school
is
open,
the
applicant
is
allowed
to
continue
through
the
remaining
building.
K
K
If
cat,
if
capacity
becomes
available,
given
the
binary
nature,
this
law,
they
are
essentially
immediately
released
to
go
to
the
remaining
stages
of
the
boeing
permit,
but
even
if
not
so
at
the
end
of
year,
six,
which
is
the
scenario
you
just
painted,
miss
purge
at
the
end
of
year.
Six,
if
broadneck
elementary
school
was
still
at
115
or
110
or
120.
K
Correct,
I,
I
think
the
the
phrase
that's
often
used
and
maybe
is
most
appropriate
to
the
apfo
law-
is
it's
a
circuit
breaker
that
that
temporarily
slows
down
development
to
allow
the
the
public
to
catch
up?
So
theoretically,
you
temporarily
halt
the
developer
until
such
time
that
a
cip
project
can
occur
to
build
the
additional
capacity
onto
that
school.
O
That's
another
question:
it
was
brought
up
that
perhaps
an
addition
could
be
put
on
again.
What
is
the
likelihood
that
you
know,
regardless
of
our
current
plans,
I'm
not
even
going
there
that
state
money
would
be
given
to
an
additional
addition
for
broadneck,
given
the
space
that's
available
at
the
adjacent
elementary
school
sure.
K
The
the
so
the
additions,
the
addition
that
was
put
on
the
last
material
edition
was
put
on
to
broadneck,
was
put
on
to
accommodate
the
implementation
of
full
day
kindergarten,
which
was
a
stand
state
mandated
program,
and
the
state
thus
gave
a
fairly
generous
or
liberal
this
disposition
to
projects
that
facilitated
full
decay.
Okay,
what
we
have
before
us
is
markedly
different.
What
we
have
before
us
is
a
capacity
issue,
okay,
so
a
building
addition
to
address
capacity
to
get
approval
from
the
state.
K
You
essentially
have
to
demonstrate
that
you
do
not
have
the
ability
to
resolve
that
over
capacity
condition
at
a
lower
level
and
specifically,
what
they
do
look
at
is
what
they
call
the
adjoining
school
test.
So
if
you
have
a
school
a
this
is
a
hypoth,
a
hypothetical
construct.
If
you
have
school
a
that's
in
the
middle
and
it's
over
capacity,
but
you
have
school
b
and
school
c
that
are
to
the
left
and
the
right
or
north
and
the
south
of
it
that
have
capacity.
K
F
Thank
you
again,
madam
president.
I
just
it
wasn't
for
mr
chagnovich
necessarily,
but
just
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone
who
came.
I
know
daytime
meetings
are
tough
for
for
most
people,
and
I
appreciate
all
of
the
testimony.
There
was
one
person
in
particular
and
I
didn't
catch
the
full
name.
I
believe
it
was
kim,
gave
a
lot
of
statistics
and
ran
out
of
time,
and
I
think
our
final
words
were.
I
have
more.
I
just
wanted
to
know
if
we
can
get
a
copy
of
what
you
were
sharing.
A
Okay,
so
now
I
think
I
can
share
the
dates
for
everybody
who's
here
today.
We've
now
received
the
superintendent's
recommendation,
so
we
have
the
committee
recommending
option
a
we
have
the
superintendent
recommending
option
b.
The
board
has
until
january
18th,
at
our
daytime
meeting
to
decide
which
options
we're
going
to
take
to
public
hearing.
So
we
could
take
option
a
we
could
take
option
b.
A
We
could
throw
in
c
and
d
or
any
one
of
these
board
members
could
create
option
e,
f
and
g
that
will
all
take
place
on
january
18th,
then,
on
tuesday
february
21st
at
cape
sinclair
elementary
school
from
7
to
9
p.m,
there'll
be
a
community
briefing.
So
that
way,
anyone
in
the
community-
that's
not
really
been
that
involved
in
the
process.
They
can
look
at
the
the
maps
and
the
demographics,
and
all
of
that
for
the
options
that
the
board
is
taking
forward.
A
X
X
A
K
As
you
can
see
in
the
slide
above
and
we'll
sort
of
tag
team,
the
presentation
we
recently
received
very
good
news
as
the
superintendent
briefed
the
board
through
collaborative
efforts
with
the
school
system,
county
government
et
cetera
at
a
school
and
the
state
government.
The
city
finally
released
a
permit
for
the
monarch
school,
which
is
be
located
at
the
former
capital
gazette
building
just
off
gibraltar.
K
We
anticipate
that
the
program
will
open
in
the
fall
of
2007
for
those
students
in
the
17.
I'm
sorry
for
those
in
annapolis
cluster
I'd
like
to
allow
mr
crane
and
miss
lane
to
speak
about
some
of
the
educational
and
programmatic
activities
that
we
anticipate
being
offered
at
that
facility.
AJ
Okay,
so
as
as
we've
discussed
before
so,
the
school
is
going
to
be
international
baccalaureate
pyp
with
arts
integration,
and
that
is
a
perfect
segue
to
both
bates
middle
school
and
annapolis.
Middle
school
annapolis
middle
school
currently
has
an
myp
program
and
bates
has
a
pva
program.
AJ
So
we
think
that,
regardless
of
whichever
school,
these
schools,
these
students
matriculate
to
they
will
have
a
perfect,
perfect
segue
into
either
one
of
those
two
programs,
that's
a
program
that
we
got
together
and
decided
upon
both
internally
and
with
external
stakeholders,
and
we
feel
that
right
now,
that's
going
to
be
most
beneficial
to
the
students
attending
that
that's
cool.
K
And,
as
you
know,
the
children's
guild
has
been
a
tremendous
partner
with
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
and
already
operates
the
two
schools
up
in
glen
burnie
and
up
in
the
laurel
area.
So
there's
a
tremendous
amount
of
partnership
with
programmatic
offerings
and
alignment
with
the
educational
program
that
already
exists
here.
So
we
see
both
the
ib
pyp
program
as
well
as
the
arts
integration
elements
going
relatively
smoothly.
K
So
the
schools
contemplated
the
open
from
to
serve
k
through
fifth
grade
to
help
and
for
the
purpose,
essentially
to
help
ease
overcrowding
at
the
annapolis
area.
So
the
catchment
area
that
we're
talking
about
are
those
youngsters
that
either
are
in
or
eligible
to
attend
the
nine
elementary
schools
that
currently
articulate
up
toward
through
annapolis,
middle
and
bates
and
ultimately
to
annapolis
high
school.
It's
anticipated
that
the
school
will
open
with
approximately
530
students
when
it
opens
this
upcoming
fall,
as
you
may
have
heard.
K
AJ
Yes,
so
again,
as
as
mr
shaknovic
stated,
we
did
open
enrollment
on
december
1st,
and
that
will
run
through
february
1st,
just
like
our
charter
schools
and
our
other
contract
school
monarch
global
there
will
be
a
lottery
held
if
more
students
apply
than
our
seats.
AJ
So
one
factor
that
we
did
figure
in
for
this
particular
lottery.
Unlike
our
other
charter
and
contract
schools
is,
there
is
a
waiting
involved
again
part
of
the
reason
that
we
did
put
the
school
into
part
of
the
reason
that
we
did
weight.
This
particular
lottery
is
to
alleviate
the
overcrowding
at
three
particular
schools,
germantown
hillsmeer
and
tyler
heights.
Some
specifics
about
that
waiting
is,
if
you're
a
current
student
at
germantown,
hillsboro
or
tyler
heights.
AJ
You
would
get
a
waiting
factor
of
two
if
you're
a
student
at
any
one
of
our
other
elementary
schools
or
you're
from
outside
one
of
our
public
schools.
In
that
area,
you
get
a
waiting
factor
of
one
and
again
the
emphasis
there
is
that
we
really
need
to
alleviate
the
overcrowding
of
those
three
schools,
and
we
believe
the
waiting
factor
is
a
way
to
do
that.
K
So
it's
a
tremendous
opportunity,
because
not
only
does
it
create
an
additional
school
of
choice
here
and
we've
been
on
a
steady
campaign
to
create
a
a
pallet,
a
menu
of
educational
opportunities
for
our
youngsters,
but
also
now
to
address
some
of
the
overcrowding
issues.
As
you
know,
we've
also
been
looking
at
addressing
some
of
the
overcrowding
issues
in
annapolis
through
another
means,
and
that
is
through
redistricting,
something
that
should
be
familiar
with
you
from
this
morning.
K
So
just
last
tuesday,
we
held
our
first
organizational
meeting
with
annapolis
annapolis
redistricting
committee,
there's
36
citizens
on
that
committee
and
certainly
a
tremendous
group
of
anne
arundel
county
public
school
staff
that
are
helping
support
that
committee.
At
the
first
meeting,
they
were
presented
with
a
tremendous
amount
of
data
map,
statistics
etc,
and
they
picked
the
chair
and
the
recording
secretary
of
that
group.
Just
last
night
at
georgetown
east
elementary
school,
we
had
our
very
first
meeting
of
the
committee
now
that
they
were
past
that
organizational
evening.
K
It's
a
very
engaged
committee,
in
addition
to
the
information
that
we
provided
them
day,
one
which
was
last
tuesday
rolling
knowles.
They
asked
for
a
a
large
volume
of
additional
data
statistics
etc,
which
was
provided
to
them
as
well.
We've
created
essentially
an
online
portal
because
there's
so
many
documents
that
to
conserve
resources
and
printing
we're
utilizing
electronic
means
as
much
as
possible.
The
committee
is
scheduled
to
currently
is
scheduled
to
run
through
the
10th
of
january,
typically
having
meetings
on
tuesday
evenings
and
they'll
rotate
in
different
schools.
K
The
times
and
dates
of
those
have
all
been
announced.
Obviously,
they'll
they'll
take
a
pause
for
the
winter
christmas
break,
but
it
is
anticipated
that
hopefully,
on
or
about
the
10th
of
january
they'll,
be
coalescing
around
a
group
of
recommendations
that
they
would
bring
to
the
superintendent.
That's
not
a
hard
and
fast
date.
If
they
finish
sooner,
they
can
certainly
wrap
up
earlier
if
they
feel
that
they
need
additional
time.
K
They
can
extend
that
meeting
date
as
well.
Also,
as
I
indicated,
there's
36
members
of
the
committee
in
its
totality
and
with
any
committee
of
that
size.
Sometimes
it's
more
efficient
to
work
in
a
subcommittee
or
in
a
task
force.
So
that
is
something
that
they
contemplated
and
they
will
in
fact
be
moving
in
a
direction
that
they'll
be
breaking
it
down
into
smaller
chunks.
K
Simply
so
they
can
be
more
efficient
and
digest
more
of
the
data,
and
one
of
the
important
pieces
of
data
that
they
obviously
are
going
to
need
is
they're
going
to
need
some
information
on
the
monarch
school
that
we're
referencing
here
today,
as
mr
crane
indicated,
enrollment
is
open.
It
opened
on
december
1st,
and
so
it's
a
real
time.
K
Data
snapshot
we've
committed
that
we
will
be
providing
to
the
redistricting
panel
each
and
every
tuesday
that
they
meet
we'll
take
a
snapshot
as
late
in
the
day
as
we
can
and
provide
them,
some
statistics
for
them
to
use
and
then
again
we'll
again
update
them
each
and
every
tuesday,
but
the
information
that
was
provided
yesterday
so
as
late
as
4
p.m.
On
the
6th
right
today,
the
enrollment
window
had
only
been
open
for
six
days
already.
K
129
applicants
had
applied
in
all
grade
levels,
so
129
applicants
total
and
I'll
run
through
this
quickly.
We
can
certainly
get
you
a
paper
copy,
but
there's
a
very,
even
distribution
in
a
way,
so
we've
had,
for
example,
35
kindergarten,
23,
first
graders
24,
second
graders
14,
3rd
graders,
21,
4th
graders
and
12
5th
graders.
K
As
of
that
time,
the
breakdown
by
schools
also
is
encouraging
so
again
I'll
run
through
this
quickly
and
a
paper
copy
can
certainly
follow,
but
out
of
annapolis,
elementary
school's
current
catchment
area,
12
students,
nine
from
eastport
22
from
georgetown
east
16,
from
germantown
20
from
hillsmeer
28
from
mills,
parole,
10
from
rolling
knolls
14
from
tyler
heights,
zero
from
west
annapolis,
but
the
most
encouraging
piece
and
and
I'll
turn
this
over
to
miss
lane
and
mr
crane
and
the
second
is.
This-
has
all
been
absent.
K
Marketing
and
we
have
had
a
tremendous
partnership
with
the
children's
guild
and
we
know
that
they
have
always
been
successful
in
marketing
the
schools
and
helping
facilitate
families
and
enrolling.
So
it
would
be
beneficial
for
the
board
to
hear
a
little
bit
about
that
outreach
and
marketing
and
enrollment
campaign
that
the
children's
school
will
partner
with
the
school
district
on.
J
So
sue
myers,
as
you're
aware,
has
been
the
appointed
as
the
principal
of
the
school
and
she's
very
familiar
with
the
annapolis
cluster,
having
been
a
principal
there
for
over
a
decade,
and
so
she's
been
spending.
This
entire
fall,
while
waiting
for
the
permits
making
lots
of
contacts
with
community
stakeholders,
primarily
at
the
at
the
community
leadership
level,
including
nonprofits
nonprofits,
religious
leaders,
politicians
community
advocates,
in
both
the
african-american
and
latino
communities
and
they've,
been
very
embracing
of
the
notion
and
appreciative
of
an
opportunity
for
a
school
of
the
choice
of
this
nature.
J
Magazines
and
such
and
presented
at
the
noche
latino
night
at
mills
parole
now
that
the
enrollment
is
open,
she's
prepared
to
host
parent
information
nights,
specifically
at
tyler
heights,
mills,
parole
and
germantown
in
partnership
with
our
bilingual
facilitators.
Who
will
be
a
tremendous
resource
to
reaching
the
latino
community,
which
she's
very
much
embracing
having
making
sure
they're
well
represented
in
the
school
and
there's
also
on
scheduled,
meet
and
greets
at
our
public
and
affordable
housing
communities
that
the
leadership
has
arranged
for
her
and
has
passed
out
flyers
for
her
about
those
meet
and
greets.
K
And
we
were
also
made
aware
that
children's
field
will
be
holding
an
open
house
at
their
two
existing
facilities
in
laurel
and
in
glen
burnie
as
well,
so
that
perspective
students
and
their
families
can
walk
through
and
take
a
look
at
those
facilities.
As
I
indicated
earlier,
we're
sort
of
on
parallel
paths.
K
The
committee
is
working
hard
to
anticipate
bringing
a
recommendation
to
dr
lotto
in
january,
as
you
recall,
as
part
of
the
charge
for
redistricting,
the
board
indicated
that
they
would
set
aside
the
element
of
the
of
the
regulation
that
speaks
to
the
timeline,
so
the
superintendent
is
expected
to
have
a
deliverable
from
the
committee
around
the
end
of
january,
such
that
he'll
be
able
to
bring
a
product
to
the
board
for
their
consideration
around
that
february
timeline
will
follow
the
same
process
as
we
are
from
that
point
on
essentially
with
the
broad
neck.
K
Cape,
so
there'll
be
a
presentation
for
information
purposes.
The
board
will
have
some
time
to
consider
and
review
the
matter.
You
will
then
be
asked
which,
if
any
recommendations
to
either
of
the
superintendent
to
either
accept
and
hold,
except
in
part,
reject
entirely
or
craft
your
own
plans.
K
F
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
It's
very
informative
and
I
appreciate
all
the
the
comments
today
that
you've
made
and
I'm
excited
about
the
relief
that
the
school
is
going
to
provide
for
redis
for
overcrowding
in
indianapolis
area,
but
also,
I
would
say,
and
probably
more
importantly,
just
excited
about
the
opportunities
that
students
are
going
to
have
there.
I
have
been
to
the
school
in
its
early
construction
stage,
one
night
with
mr
sasso
and
I
was
just
so
impressed
by.
B
F
I
saw
and
then
certainly
you
know
I
I'm
just
impressed
by
the
dialogue
with
the
children's
guild.
My
my
one
question
is
specific
to
the
lottery
and
that's
again
assuming
applications
exceed
enrollment.
I
don't
know
if
we're
trending
that
way
that
it
will
or
not
at
this
point
but
is,
is
there
preference
and
I
see,
factor
two
factor,
one
and
so
forth,
but
is?
Is
there
a
preference
for
siblings
as
well?
F
So
if,
if
a
you
know,
the
fifth
grader
is
enrolled,
does
does
the
the
second
grade
or
brother
get
get
preference
in
in
the
lottery.
AJ
So
you
know
ultimately,
if,
if
they
choose
a
sibling
preference,
then
then
those
those
students
will
be
together.
Thank
you,
yep.
O
My
question's
actually
about
the
open
houses
that
you
mentioned.
Is
there
going
to
be
any
sort
of
transportation
for
folks
that
may
not
have
transportation
from
the
annapolis
area,
because
I
know
that
you
know
getting
up
to
ordnance
road
or
out
there
and
laurel
may
not
be
easy
for
all
of
the
annapolis
parents
who
might
wish
to
to
see
the
other
schools.
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
could
be
looked
into.
AJ
O
Could
let
me
know,
I
think
that
would
be
something
to
consider.
I
mean
it's
certainly
something
that
I
think
people
should
sign
up
for
ahead
of
time.
I
don't
think
it
should
be
just
open,
but
but
if
people
were
were
interested
in
getting
transportation,
I
would
hope
that
was
something
that
they
could
be
helped
with.
J
Yes,
how
the
contract
is
written
is
that
if
they
didn't
meet
their
their
number
by
a
targeted
date
that
they
would
come
back
to
this
board
and
it
would
be
decided
how
that
expansion
would
roll
out.
So
we
wanted
to
kind
of
leave
some
some
room
for
that,
but
one
of
the
options
would
be
you
know
you
kind
of
just
move
out
contiguously
to
the
next
adjacent,
most
overcrowded
school
in
the
area.
K
But
that
said
ms
quarterback
as
you're,
well
aware
that
that
the
schools
that
they
are
currently
running,
as
well
as
the
chesapeake
science
point,
etc.
They
have,
they
have
all
been
very
successful
in
attracting
the
number
of
students
that
their
contract
allows.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
we
remain
confident
that
the
guild
will
once
again
be
able
to
arrive
at
their
contractual
number.
J
R
In
the
light
of
the
timeline
we've
discussed
about
monarch,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion
that
the
board
adjusts
the
date
for
the
superintendent's
recommendation
on
redistricting
of
the
annapolis
peninsula
and
move
the
date
from
for
that
report
from
february
1st
to
february
15th.
Since
the
lottery
closes
february
1st.
That
will
give
the
redistrict
committee
time
to
get
those
final
numbers
in
and
then
that
can
be
presented
to
us
at
the
february
15th
meeting.
A
All
right?
I
will
for
the
benefit
of
people
watching
I'll,
give
the
dates
that
we
have
then
for
the
annapolis
cluster
redistricting
meetings.
A
R
Yes,
I
make
a
motion
that
I
mentioned
that
we
approve
the
superintendent's
recommendations.
A
R
R
The
nominations
of
jacqueline
langworthy
perdue
for
the
annapolis
cluster,
elementary
schools,
representatives,
arundel,
I'm
sorry
not
reading
correctly,
benjamin
and
benjamin
burke
for
the
chesapeake
elementary
schools
representative.
I
make
motion
that
we
approve
to
appoint
those
two
to
the
vacancies.
A
I
actually
had
a
couple
questions.
The
graduation
ceremony
venue
contract
just
made
me
think
about
the
fact
that
up
by
arundel
mills,
we
were
expecting
a
new
venue.
Do
we
have
any
updates
on
when
that
might
be
constructed
so
that
we
could
have
graduations
in
anne
arundel
county
again.
K
H
K
Goes
through
november
of
17,
so
we'll
facilitate
this
upcoming
spring.
They
have
started
construction
out
there.
It
obviously
depends
on
the
timeline.
It
was
anticipated
that
we
could
have
graduations
there
as
early
as
may
june
of
2018,
and
if
not,
it
will
be
the
may
june
2019
cycle.
There
are
the
very
early
stages
of
construction,
however
they've
gotten
some,
but
not
all
of
their
permits,
etcetera,
are
there
but
sufficient
to
begin
construction.
So
there's
a
lot
of
logistics.
It's
a
very
big
job
site.
That
being
said,
they're
progressing
very
aggressively.
K
They
have
some
competition
that
just
opened
up
down
the
road
from
them
and
they're
they're,
definitely
motivated
to
get
their
facility
constructed
and
operational
as
soon
as
possible,
and
we
would
clearly
be
one
of
the
beneficiaries
of
their
aggressive
schedule.
K
No
ma'am,
so
we
have
here
in
the
state
of
maryland.
There
is
a
law
that,
if
you're
any
of
the
western
counties,
you
cannot
have
a
bus,
that's
in
service
for
more
than
12
years.
That's
the
maximum
length
of
time
that
a
public
school
at
a
bus
can
be
utilized
on
the
western
shore
to
transport
public
school
students.
So
we
have
a
number
of
buses
that
will
be
in
their
13th
year
essentially
next
year
and
we
will
not
be
able
to
utilize
them.
So
we
have
to
replace
them
with
new
buses.
A
S
A
All
those
in
favor
motion
passes
900.
just
have
a
couple
of
announcements.
The
next
board
policy
