D
Good
evening,
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
provide
a
smile
update
tonight.
I
want
to
begin
by
reminding
everyone
that
the
smob
student
forum
is
taking
place
on
march
12th
in
the
suburna
park
high
school
cafeteria
from
6
to
8
p.m.
It
is
an
opportunity
for
any
aacps
student
to
voice
their
concerns
to
myself
and
my
fellow
board
members.
D
D
Also,
I
want
to
inform
everyone
that
the
smob
nomination
period
for
the
2020
2021
school
year
is
now
open.
I
encourage
all
eligible
students
to
apply
by
march
5th
at
4
pm.
I
want
to
give
a
special
congrats
to
the
annapolis
high
school
varsity
boys
basketball
team
for
being
named
the
year's
county
champions.
D
I
couldn't
be
prouder
to
be
a
panther
and
finally,
as
we
move
into
a
very
important
night
for
the
board
of
education
as
we
discuss
the
budget,
I
ask
my
colleagues
to
keep
two
things
in
mind:
firstly,
to
remain
efficient
and
timely
and,
second
to
continuously
consider
the
impact
tonight's
decisions
will
make
on
first
and
foremost
our
students.
As
I
know
I
intend
to
do
this
tonight.
Thank
you.
E
This
is,
as
I
was
very
humbled.
I
if
you
notice
at
the
last
meeting
I
left
early,
and
it
was
because
of
a
special
recognition
that
the
county,
executive
and
the
county
council
were
kind
enough
to
to
give
me.
So
I
want
to
very
humbly
thank
the
county
executive
county
executive
pittman,
the
county
council
and
dr
carl
snowden
for
your
recent
recognition
of
me
during
the
annual
few
of
the
mini
awards
ceremony.
E
E
And
then
so,
I'm
continuing
the
reading
tour.
Thank
you,
dr
lotto,
and
and
and
miss
friend
and
miss
baden
as
well.
You
all
have
been
very
gracious
to
support
me
in
this
reading
tour,
but
I
gotta
tell
you
hilltop
elementary
school,
you
rock
every
time
I
visit
you
all
the
the
weather
is
inclement
and
it's
either
lots
of
snow
on
the
ground
or
lots
of
rain
coming
down
and
you're,
always
cheerful
and
and
very
welcoming.
E
So
I
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
read
to
your
first
and
second
graders,
then
for
black
history
month.
I
since
been
elected,
I
felt
like
I
should,
if
I'm
invited,
should
go
to
all
of
the
black
history
programs
that
I'm
invited
to
well
last
year.
I
guess
not,
as
many
people
knew
me,
and
so
I
didn't
get
invited
to
a
lot
of
those
programs.
E
E
The
the
you
all
captured
the
true
essence
of
why
we
do
the
black
history
month,
the
black
history
recognitions
and
the
emphasis
to
how
black
history
has
shaped
america.
So
thank
you
for
that.
E
E
Specifically
yesterday,
though
I
I
met
a
young
lady,
miss
armani
jack
jackson
at
bowie
state
who
gave
me
some
incredible
inspiration
when
I
was
meant
to
inspire
her.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
support
in
that
and
I
plan
to
continue
these
forums.
If
you
have
ideas
or
subject
matters,
just
please
let
me
know,
and
that's
it.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
miss
antwine,
miss
hummer
and
then
michelle
hi,
miss
hummer.
F
So
last
week
I
attended
the
c-cac,
which
is
the
special
education
citizens
advisory
council,
and
they
had
a
special
presentation
on
teaching
reading
and
helping
your
children
at
home.
Learn
to
read,
and
it
was
a
great
turnout,
a
wonderful
presentation.
I
want
to
encourage
all
parents
to
come
when
they
have
special
speakers,
often
at
their
meetings
that
and
the
information
they're
sharing
is
not
just
beneficial
to
those
who
who
have
children
with
special
needs,
but
really
for
all
parents.
F
But
if
you
are
a
parent
of
children
with
special
needs,
ccac
is
an
amazing
resource
for
you
to
have
to
network
with
other
parents
who
are
going
through
some
of
the
same
things,
and
we
have
our
wonderful
partners
for
success
who
work
with
parents
to
help
them
navigate
the
special
education
process.
So
if
you
haven't
been
to
a
c-cac
meeting
before,
I
highly
encourage
you
to
come
out.
G
I
also
attended
the
presentation
of
the
the
status
of
the
joint
initiative
to
close
the
opportunity
gap
and
I
thought
it
was
fabulous
and
I
thank
everyone
for
putting
that
on
and
I
found
we
there
was
breakout
sessions
on
on
various
topics.
I
was
in
the
one
on
curriculum
and
I
just
thought
it
was
spectacular.
The
voices
in
that
room
were
wonderful
and
and-
and
I
think
I
hope
that
the
committee
members
got
a
lot
out
of
our
breakout.
As
I
did.
G
Event
for
black
history
month
that
took
place
on
saturday
and
I
was
really
devastated
to
have
missed
that,
and
so
I
apologize
to
that
club
and
yeah,
because
I
really
wanted
to
be
there.
But
my
family
needed
me
so
and
they
come
first,
I'm
a
mom
first
so
but
but
please
you
know,
don't
let
that
deter
you
from
future
invites
because
I
really
really
want
to
support
and
that's
what
I
wanted.
H
Thank
you.
Madam
president,
today
the
policy
committee
met
and
we
reviewed
quite
extensively
policy
bk.
If
you
recall
from
our
last
meeting,
we
referred
it
from
first
reader
back
to
the
policy
committee
and
policy
bk
now
titled
board
ethics
and
professional
standards
will
come
back
for
first
reader
at
our
march
4th
meeting.
I
You
just
real
briefly.
We
met
today
at
5
30,
and
we
just
worked
through
finalizing
the
the
documents
that
contain
proposed
amendments,
and
we
worked
through
the
procedure
of
how
we're
going
to
operate

I'll,
be
sharing
that
all
with

I
have
a

updates
to
share
our
scholarship.
Applications
have
come
to
a

The

K
The

their
choice.
This

day.
It's
free
admission
for
all
one
of
the
items
we're
doing
is
we're
collecting
cans
for
the
maryland
food
bank,
so
we'd
like
everybody
to
bring
as
many
cans
as
they
can,
because
we
want
to
do
a
mile
of
cans.
K
We
will
have
an
award
ceremony
for
our
volunteers
and
also
our
reflection
winners.
We
have
a
silent
auction
to
support
our
scholarship
fund
food
trucks,
games
mobile,
escape
room,
a
stage
area
where
schools
will
be
performing
a
dj
crafts,

free
books
in
our
reading

The
list
goes
on
and

We
have
many
organizations
coming,
so
we
ask
that
you
please
help
us
and
attend
it's
april,
25th
2020
at
old

high

in
millersville.
K
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
look
forward
to
seeing
a
mile

food
for
for
a
worthy
cause.
I
can
just
imagine
how
many
cans
that
is,
I
hope
everybody
steps
up
for
it.
Next
is
public
comment.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
an
item
not
on
today's
agenda
may
offer
testimony
during
this
public
comment.
Portion
of
the
meeting
speakers
are
allotted
three
minutes
each
and
may
not
allocate
their
time
to
others.
A
tone
will
sound
when
the
time
is
expired.
A
The
board
asks
the
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.
It
is
not
the
board's
general
practice
to
engage
in
question
and
answer
sessions
with
speakers,
for
the
record.
Please
give
your
name
before
speaking
and
handouts
should
be
given
to
the
board
assistant.
A
Accordingly,
no
public
testimony
on
the
recommendation
will
be
taken
this
evening
if
amendments
are
offered
by
board
members
and
we
do
have
them
on
the
ready
and
organized
public
comments
will
be
taken
on
the
content
of
those
specific
amendments
only
as
always
written
testimony
is
accepted
and
encouraged.
Currently,
I
have
no
one
signed
up
for
public
testimony
any
seeing
no
motion
in
the
audience
we're
going
to
move
along
item
4.01,
classroom
furniture.
A
We
have
a
motion
to
bundle
and
a
second
any
comment
to
that:
okay,
miss
hal.
Do
we
have
consensus
on
this?
We're
good,
okay,
seeing
consensus
on
on
a
motion
to
bundle
items
4.01
I'll,
just
read
them
out
is
classroom
furniture,
4.02
grass
mowing
and
storm
water
device,
maintenance,
4.03,
large
kitchen
equipment
and
through
4.05,
and
then
4.06
is
walkie
talkies
and
accessories.
A
M
L
There
are
none,
there
is
for
board
approval.
There
is
one
for
information
for
the
board.
A
A
Okay,
okay,
I'm
gonna
turn
this
over
first
to
miss
ortiz.
If
she
wanted
to
highlight
additional
new
information
and
give
us
an
update,
I
know
we've
had
a
very
busy
session
so
before
we
get
started,
I
just
want
to
continue
to
extend
gratitude
to
you
and
your
staff
and
to
all
the
members
who
are
pitching
in
and
going
the
extra
mark.
This
is
a
very
busy
season,
as
you
can
well
imagine.
I've
never
seen
so
much
legislation
on
one
item
in
my
entire
life,
so
major
kudos.
A
This
is
a
lot
to
follow
so
with
that
said
I'll,
let
you
let
you.
N
Roll
for
the
record,
jeanette
ortiz
legislative
policy
council.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
kind
words.
It
has
been
a
crazy
session,
lots
of
bills,
lots
of
education
bills
and
we
just
had
introduction
deadlines
and
all
kinds
of
things.
So
there
will
be
more
coming
your
way
at
the
next
meeting.
There
were
no
bills.
This
meeting
for
that
required
to
vote,
but
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
any
on
any
legislation
looks.
A
G
N
You
remind
me
of
the
the.
G
N
So
right
so
there's
house
bill
and
a
senate
bill
that
would
have
aligned
the
annual
meeting
date
of
the
board
to
coincide
with
the
fact
that
we're
moving
towards
a
fully
elected
school
board.
So
it
would
be
in
december,
and
that
was
a
request
of
the
board,
and
so
the
house
had
hearing
on
the
legislation,
both
the
house
bill
and
the
senate
cross
file
and
the
sponsors
of
the
bill
added
additional
amendments
to
the
legislation.
N
N
I'm
sorry
out
of
the
delegation
unanimously.
I
believe
it
was
friday
or
perhaps
the
friday
before.
There's
a
lot
going
on.
So
things
are
kind
of
the
days
are
blurring
for
me.
So
I
apologize
and
so
what
happened
is
we
did
submit
testimony
supporting
the
actually
miss
corcodel?
I
believe
spoke
to
the
original
bill
as
drafted.
N
Yes
and
then
the
amendments
were
introduced
after
the
fact,
and
we
submitted
testimony
to
the
to
the
two
committees,
the
senate
committee
and
the
house
committee
on
the
bill
as
drafted,
and
so
what
typically
and
then
the
delegation
voted
on
it.
So
now
what
happened?
Since
there
are
amendments
the
house
bill,
I
don't
believe,
has
moved
forward.
The
senate
bill
did
get
voted
out
either
thursday
or
friday
from
the
senate
and
so
it'll
cross
over
to
the
house.
N
G
N
Of
that,
so
the
language
says
the
president.
The
vice
president
will
be
selected
from
the
elected
members
of
the
board,
and
so
typically,
I
will
say
that
the
board
has
not
weighed
in
on
legislation
dealing
with
the
actual
structure
of
the
board
like
when
we
went
towards
elected
board.
We
didn't
weigh
in
on
any
of
that,
and
so
that's
been
sort
of
the
what
the
the
board
has
chosen
to
do
in
the
past.
This
bill
would
fall
under
that,
and
that
was
under
the
advice
of
previous
board
council.
B
A
I
Thank
you.
I
just
wonder
if
you
could
give
us
a
little
update
snippet
on
blueprint
for
maryland's
future.
I
know
there
was
a
big
hearing.
I
know
there's
lots
of
opinions
about
it.
I
know
we're
we're
presenting
amendments.
Are
you
getting
it?
Can
you
just
give
us
a
brief
update,
you
know,
are
you
getting
a
sense
of
how
people
are
feeling
yeah.
N
So
I
had
the
pleasure
of
spending.
My
presidents
stay
in
the
joint
hearing
room
of
the
general
assembly
with
dozens
and
dozens
of
other
folks
for
the
hearing
of
the
what
we
call
the
blueprint
bill
or
other
folks
refers
to
the
kerwin
commission
bill,
and
so
all
four
standing
committees
assigned
to
the
legislation
were
there
all
of
their
members.
N
So
it's
the
senate
budget
and
taxation
committee
senate
education,
health
and
environmental
affairs
committee
house
ways
and
means
committee
and
house
appropriations
committee.
So
they
started
off
the
hearing
with
a
presentation
by
brick
kerwin
who
is
the
chair
of
the
commission
and
rachel
heiss
who's
department
of
legislative
services,
staff
who's
been
working
on
this
for
years
and
is
really
the
resident
expert
on
education
for
the
department
of
legislative
services.
N
There
were
lots
of
questions.
You
know
the
bill
was
just
introduced
less
than
two
weeks
ago
and
it's
199
pages
of
a
lot
of
information.
So
I'm
sure
a
lot
of
folks
had
not
gone
through
it.
I
have
gone
through
the
bill,
as
some
of
my
colleagues
here
have
as
well
and
there's
a
lot
there's
a
lot
in
there,
and
so,
while
we
support
the
overall
sort
of
the
mission
of
the
kerwin
commission
and
the
original
goal,
we
do
have
some
concerns.
N
Some
preliminary
things
that
stuck
out
to
us
and
I
kind
of
identified
it
briefly
in
the
legislative,
exhibit
related
to
implementation
dates.
For
example,
we
think
that
you
know
the
school
systems
would
need
some
more
time
to
be
able
to
implement
some
things.
Also,
accountability
was
a
huge
conversation
on
monday.
It
seems
like
a
lot
of
folks
questioning
it.
Hadn't
actually
read
the
bill
because
there's
a
lot
of
accountability
in
the
bill
and
so
well.
N
We
obviously
support
accountability,
and
we
understand
that
it's
important
when
you're
talking
about
this
level
of
education
funding
our
concern
is
the
overlap
for
existing
accountability,
and
so
what
we
want
is
a
better
clarification
about
these
other
accountability
bodies
that
are
being
created
in
this
legislation
and
how
they
coincide
with
existing,
like
the
state
board
of
education,
the
maryland
state
department
of
education,
the
attorney
I'm
sorry,
the
inspector
general
that's
been
was
created
after
last
year's
legislation,
the
governor
has
his
own
body,
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
and
so
we've
asked
for
clarification
and
that
you
know
we
had
just
some
concerns
with
some
program
management
with
some
of
the
pre-k
requirements
that
would
require
to
man,
require
the
school
systems
to
manage
private
entities
for,
but
does
not
provide
funding
for
that
management,
and
so
those
are
some
of
the
things
I
mean.
N
N
I've
been
working
with
my
colleagues
in
the
maryland
association
of
boards
of
education,
the
public
school
superintendents
association
of
maryland
to
come
up
with
good
amendments,
also
msa,
the
maryland
state
education
association
on
things
that
we
all
kind
of
agree
upon.
There
was
a
work
group
this
evening.
Unfortunately,
I
had
policy
committee
and
was
unable
to
attend,
but
I
will
be
circling
back
with
my
colleagues
tomorrow
and
friday
to
get
a
better
understanding
of
where
they're
moving
with
the
bill.
N
You
know,
I
anticipate
lots
of
amendments
for
sure,
maybe
some
more
technical
ones,
and
maybe
some
substantive
ones,
and,
as
my
colleagues
and
I
keep
going
back
and
sifting
through
the
bill,
we
might
have
some
more
specific
things
that
you
know
again
that
either
they
align
or
they
don't
align
with
our
legislative
program
and
our
positions
already
stated,
and
so
obviously
for
the
things
that
align
great
for
the
things
that
jonah
line,
we
will
certainly
call
them
out,
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that
miss
hummer
was
there
with
me,
been
great,
gave
great
testimony
on
the
legislation
and
raised
some
of
the
concerns
that
mabe
also
has
on
the
legislation.
F
I'll
just
reiterate
that
we
I
spent
six
hours
of
president's
day
listening
to
testimony.
They
had
130
people
sign
up
to
testify
and
every
one
of
them
was
in
support
of
the
main
goals
of
of
the
blueprint
legislation.
But
there
were
very
there
were
very
good.
There
was
very
good
feedback
about
how
to
improve
the
bill
and
make
it
so
we
are
all
for
accountability.
F
But
if
there's
duplication
between
things,
we
want
the
money
from
kerwin
to
go
to
the
classroom
and
actually
be
meeting
being
used
for
students
and
some
of
the
accountability
measures
that
duplicate
each
other.
That's
going
to
be
money,
that's
going
to
be
spent
on
duplication
rather
than
on
the
students,
so
it
was
encouraging
to
hear
so
many
people
from
so
many
different
groups
and
organizations
that
were
voicing
some
of
the
same
thing.
Some
of
the
same
suggestions
for
how
we
could
make
the
bill
better.
F
As
we
came
along
from
the
from
the
state
pta
to
individual
parents
that
spoke
up,
it
was
really
exciting
to
see
how
many
people
were
vested
in
this
bill
and
had
really
studied
it
carefully
and
really
wanted
to
have
a
say
in
making
it
as
strong
as
it
can
be
to
help
our
kids.
So
it
was
a
long
day,
but
it
was
worth
it
to
hear
everything
and
I
was
glad
to
be
able
to
to
add
in
our
piece
that
was
there
too.
F
My
question
is
on
on
page
22
of
our
legislation:
hb
1234
county
boards
of
education,
student
transportation
vehicles.
This
is
something
I'm
actually
very
excited
to
see.
Something
we've
been
trying
to
talk
about
that.
Would
there
be
a
way
that
we
would
not
have
to
transport
all
of
our
children
in
full-size
school
buses,
for
instance,
some
of
our
homeless
children
or
some
of
our
special
needs
students
who
go
to
non-public
placements,
and
this
is
a
bill
that
looks
like
it
may
have
that
potential.
So
I
just
wanted
to
get
some
clarification
on
there.
F
N
O
Certainly
alex
czech
new
chief
operating
officer,
it
would
provide
that
additional
flexibility,
we're
seeking
some
clarification.
I
think
much
to
your
point
today,
type
one
and
type
two
school
buses
are
permitted
as
well.
As
you
know,
where
taxi
cabs
are
a
permitted
vehicle.
What
is
explicitly
prohibited
is
the
use
of
of
either
vehicles
that
look
like
minivans
or
what
you
and
I
might
call
karate
vans.
There's
got
a
12
person,
15
person,
kind
of
vans.
O
They
are
actually
explicitly
prohibited
so
this,
while
it
provides
some
loosening,
it
actually
doesn't
repeal
that
other
piece
of
it
so
we're
looking
for
some.
The
transportation
directors
have
been
in
contact
with
msd
as
well
to
say
in
the
end.
What
would
this
look
like?
I
think
we
all
would
like
to
have
some
additional
flexibility,
some
other
alternatives
and
it's
important
to
a
location
like
anne
arundel
county.
It's
even
far
more
important
to
some
of
our
smaller
counties.
O
F
Well,
I
know
this
is
having
this
kind
of
alternative
transportation
is
one
of
the
recommendations
from
the
transportation
consultants
report
as
well.
That
we'd
like
to
have
it's
a
little
disappointing
to
hear
that
as
of
right
now,
it
doesn't
include
that
we
could
use
those
fans,
because
that
could
be
a
real
possibility,
but
are
there
any
restrictions
listed
in
the
bill
about
which
students
could
be
transported
in
an
alternative
thing
or.
F
E
Thank
you.
So
I
know
the
week
has
been
rough.
I
I
was
with
you
on
some
of
it
not
all
of
it,
including
president's
day,
and
it
sounds
like
you
guys
have
fun,
but
I
did
have
some
questions
about
some
of
the
the
some
of
the
bills
that
are
being
introduced,
that
we
opposed
wanted.
More
clarification
on
our
position
in
terms
of
opposing
the
first
one
is
on
page
five.
E
So
it
looks
to
me
like
there
are
plans
for
other
counties
to
get
a
regional
career
and
techno
technical
education
center,
and
we
oppose
that
and
what
I'm
based
on,
what
I'm
reading
we
opposed
it
because
there's
a
risk
of
us
not
getting
the
type
of
funding
we
may
be
able
to
get
if
they
introduce
this.
Could
you
help
me.
N
N
However,
the
way
this
bill
is
drafted,
it
would
be
funded
through
public
school
construction
dollars
that
are
currently
already
identified
for
existing
projects,
and
so
it
would,
the
funding
would
be
used
from
that
money
and
so
that
money
would
you
know
there
would
be
less
money
to
fund
our
projects
and
other
school
system
projects,
and
so
we
oppose
you
know
any
time,
there's
less
money
going
towards
our
you
know,
school
construction
dollars
or
for
education
funding
and
things
of
that
nature.
N
E
I
I'm
always
for
instruction
on
how
to
do
that
properly
in
terms
of
print
and
cursive
handwriting
in
our
schools,
but
we
opposed
that
as
well,
and
I
just
didn't
quite
understand
the
stance
on
why.
N
Yeah,
so
this
is
another
perennial
bill.
That's
come
a
few
years
now,
and
so
we
oppose
curriculum
mandates,
and
so,
if
you
know
school
systems
want
to
have
cursive
writing
in
their
curriculum,
they
can
do
that
now
they
don't
need
a
law
to
require
them
to
do
it.
They
have
the
flexibility
to
do
it.
So
it's
not
so
much
based
on
the
you
know
the
merit
or
the
substance.
It's
just
a
curriculum
mandate,
and
so
you
know,
maeve
and
and
other
school
systems
typically
oppose.
These
mandates
understood.
E
E
At
the
bottom
talks
about
therapy
dogs
and
in
some
of
my
school
visits,
I
have
been
introduced
to
therapy
dogs
and
they
seem
to
be
right
in
line
with
the
need
of
the
students
that
are
having
those
dogs
at
that
time
now
I
have
not
been
introduced
to
a
litter
of
dogs
at
one
school
right.
It
may
be
one
dog
that
all
the
students
rely
on
for
comfort
or
otherwise.
E
I
saw
here
that
we
we
opposed
that
as
well,
even
though
we
have
introduced
some
dogs
in
our
system
and
it
seems
to
be
working
so
I
wanted
to
just
as
with
the
other
clarifications,
if
you
can
help
me
understand
the
opposition.
N
Yeah,
thank
you
because
you're,
not
the
only
one
that
had
questions
about
it.
So
we
have
service
dogs
that
we
allow
in
our
schools
and
that's
aligned
with
state
and
federal
requirements,
and
so
this
creates
a
separate
category
of
an
actual
therapy
dog,
but
there's
no
actual
certification
for
therapy
dogs,
and
so
it
really
leaves
open
to
interpretation.
What
is
the
therapy
does?
N
This
is
so
we
currently
follow
state
federal
requirements
on
service
animals,
and
so
this
is
something
different
and
it's
kind
of
like
a
loose
terminology
utilized
for
dogs
and
so
because
it's
not
clearly
defined
because
there's
no
existing
certification.
N
We
could
run
into
some
issues
with
having
disruptive
animals,
and
you
know
if
you
have
people
saying
like
oh
well,
this
is
a
therapy
dog.
We
would
really
have
no
way
to
say
well,
it's
not,
whereas
with
service
animals
there's
you
know,
that's
certified,
there's
processes.
These
animals
are
trained
specifically
to
provide
the
unique
services
of
their
owners,
understood.
E
So
so,
in
the
cases
that
I've
encountered
in
the
schools,
it's
the
school,
providing
that
service
to
those
students,
so
that
so
that,
legally
and
and
in
terms
of
management,
we
have
that
direct
control.
So
the
opposition
is
not
for
not
having
that
type
of
support
in
the
schools.
The
opposition
is
for
the
the
the
possible
logistics
and
other
concerns
that
come
come
along
with
animals
that
may
not
be
covered
by
law.
Exactly
okay,
yes,.
E
Oh
here
it
is
so
then,
finally,
on
page
13,
it
talks
about
a
notification
to
parents
once
there's
suspicion
of
of
a
sexual
assault,
and
this
has
come
up
earlier
in
the
year
before
our
board
some
of
the
protocol
behind
these
actions.
E
We
opposed
that
that
bill
as
well.
It
indicates
that
by
the
closest
business
day
a
parent
should
be
notified
of
whatever
the
concern
is
so
as
I'm
reading
here
we're.
We
are
indicating
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
first
get
sound
information
before
moving
out
to
the
parent.
So
if
you
could,
please
expound
shop,
that
opposition.
N
Yeah,
so
that's
exactly
right,
so
it's
not
that
we
oppose
notifying
parents.
You
know
we
want
to
notify
parents
of
any
situation
relating
to
their
children,
particularly
something
as
a
problematic
sexual
behavior,
and
we
do
follow
all
state.
You
know
mandated
reporting
laws
and
regulations,
and
you
know
we
are
very.
We
provide
training
to
our
all
of
our
staff
on
on
that
issue,
in
particular.
So
the
concern
with
this
legislation,
it's
very
prescriptive.
N
N
You
know
the
school
administration
won't
have
sufficient
time
by
close
of
business
or
may
not
have
sufficient
time
by
close
of
business,
to
gather
the
correct
information
to
ensure
that
we're
providing
parents,
guardians
families,
correct
information.
The
last
thing
we
would
want
to
do
is
to
prematurely
give
out
information
and
have
false
allegations
or
things
of
that
nature
out
there.
N
So
we
want
to
ensure
that
we
are
responsibly
reporting
to
to
parents,
guardians
families
of
such
behaviors
and
don't
want
to
feel
like
rush
like
we
have
this
deadline,
and
then
we
don't
have
sufficient
information
that
we
may
find
out
with
further
investigation.
N
E
I'm
sorry!
I
did
have
one
more
question
with
the
blueprint
I
know.
Testimony
was
that
president's
day,
but
there's
a
window
before
the
final
decision
is
is
made.
Could
we
as
the
board
of
education,
introduce
more
more
information
concerning
that
or
what
we
done
on
monday.
N
Yeah
no
so
monday
was
a
one
of
the
very
first
steps.
As
I
mentioned,
there
was
a
work
group
held
by
the
appropriations
committee
in
the
house
today
and
there
will
be
more
work
group
meetings
to
try
to
figure
out
amendments,
and
so
what
we've
done
is
you
know
I've
been
working
very
closely
with
matt
stansky
and
some
of
my
other
colleagues
to
put
together
our
preliminary
concerns
and
reaching
out
to
our
colleagues
from
around
the
state
and
maeve
and
pazzam
to
kind
of
figure
out.
P
E
No,
I
just
stopped,
and
it
just
part
of
my
head
because
we
talked
about
it
earlier,
so
if
we
want
to
reach
out
to
some
of
the
delegates
for
some
of
these
some
of
these
bills
directly,
I,
for
example,
there
was
there's
a
controversial
bill
with
douglas
at
this
point
in
time.
E
If
or
should
we
work
with
you
first,
do
you,
dr
lotto,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
the
appropriate
protocol
between
my
advocacy
as
a
citizen
and
my
advocacy
as
on
the
board.
I
I
would
like
to
be
able
to
talk
to,
for
example,
with
the
with
delegates
sob
to
better
understand
so
that
when
I
come
back
here
I'll
be
able
to
make
a
better
decision
on
the
board
as
well,
so
so
the
I
guess,
the
question
would
be
when
these
come
up.
E
Would
it
be
better
that
that
we
work
with
you
all
first
and
then
move
on
to
the
delegates
so
that
we're
kind
of
speaking
with
one
voice
or
should
we
continue
our
outreach
individually.
A
Okay,
I
I'll
take
a
stab
at
that
answer,
actually
because
well,
of
course,
anything
that
we
can
do
to
move
our
legislative
stuff
through
and
so
yes
board
members
do
meet
with
them.
I
would
just
normally
I
say
if
I'm
there
as
a
member
or
they're
officially
helping
us
and
if
I'm
there
officially
helping
us,
I
usually
do
try
to
get
with
jeanette
or
like
julie.
A
Does
the
maid
connection
you
know
along
with
melissa,
and
so
I'm
usually
giving
them
a
heads
up,
and
if
I'm
going
as
a
member,
I
just
make
sure
that
every
person
that
I'm
speaking
to
understands
that
I'm
there
as
an
individual
resident
or
I
am
there
as
an
individual
board
member
but
not
representing
the
whole
board.
A
That's
really
the
only
rules
of
engagement,
but
clearly
it
it's
greatly
appreciated,
because
when
we
can
coordinate
with
miss
ortiz,
she
can
give
you
some
of
that
in
information
knowing
going
in
before
meeting
or
you
know,
you
may
not
be
the
wiser
that
they've
already
negotiated
out
your
concern,
so
that
would
save
you
some
time
too
type
of
thing,
but
that
that's
pretty
much
how
helpful
thank.
E
But
my
my
in
this
particular
case,
the
it
it
some
concerns
were
raised
that
we
didn't
consider
before
we
put
in
our
position
on
that
particular
bill.
And
so
I
wanted
to
go
back
directly
to
the.
In
this
case,
delegate
saw
to
get
more
understanding
of
his
position
as
we
move
as
as
the
bill
moves
forward,
but
I
also
want
to
be
able
to
work
with
dr
lotto
and
his
staff
in
doing
that,
so
that
we
speak
the
same
voice.
So
thank
you
very
much.
N
For
that
update-
and
if
I
could
just
add
yes,
please,
you
know
definitely
reach
out.
Let
me
know
if
you're
meeting
with
delegates
and
senators
on
legislation
that's
helpful
to
me
because
sometimes
I
get
like
oh,
I
was
meeting
with
your
board
member
and
I'm
like.
Oh
okay.
You
know
I
have
no
idea
what
the
conversation
was
about.
N
So
it's
helpful
to
me
and
when
I'm
communicating
with
them
and
the
only
thing
I
would
just
point
out-
which
I
know
everybody's
aware
of,
if
you're
meeting
with
them
and
it's
a
position,
the
board
has
a
position
on
legislation
board
members
would
not
be
able
to
go
and
have
an
opposing
position
on
the
legislation.
Contrary
to
what
the
board
has
already
determined.
That's
the
only
thing.
N
But
yes
and
you
know,
if
you
have
questions
or
just
need
some
insight,
I
will
say
that
delegate
saab's
bill
hospital
535
had
the
delegation
hearing
last
friday
and
I
spoke
on
behalf
of
the
school
system.
N
That
bill
was
in
at
the
last
meetings.
Legislative
exhibit
and
they
had
the
hearing
in
the
committee
today
there
was
lots
of
opposition
from
various
organizations
from
around
the
state.
At
the
bill
hearing
I
submitted
written
testimony,
and
so
you
know
I've.
As
always,
we
always
offer
to
work
with
our
legislators,
and
I
always
ask
them
if
you
have
ideas
or
you
have
thoughts,
please
reach
out
to
us,
because
we
can
help
inform
sort
of
their
decision
and
whether
to
draft
legislation
or
how
to
draft
legislation.
N
And
you
know,
as
I
invited
him
and
other
members
of
delegation,
you
can
come
visit
our
schools
and
see
our
programs
and
see
what
we're
already
doing,
because
they
may
not
be
aware
of
that.
A
D
N
Know
so
I
don't,
but
I
can
definitely
get
back
to
you.
I
will
say,
though,
that
the
frederick
I
want
to
say,
frederick,
county
frederick
county,
because
I
was
I
wasn't
able
to
go
today
because
we
had
so
much
going
on
here,
but
I
was
watching
the
bill
hearings
online
and
I
believe
it
was
frederick
county
that
had
similar
bill
being
heard
today
in
ways
and
means
delegation.
N
As
we
all
know,
we're
you're,
the
only
you
know
we're
the
only
school
system
where
the
student
member
has
full
voting
rights,
and
so
over
the
years
different
school
systems
have
tried
to
increase
the
voting
rights
of
their
student
members
as
well,
and
so
frederick
has
done
in
baltimore
county
this
year.
But
I
can
go
back
to
you.
Okay,
thank.
A
Thank
you
seeing
no
more
comments
from
board
members,
seeing
no
mo
motion
any
comments
of
public,
seeing
no
movement
item
five
dot.
Oh
doctor,.
A
A
L
A
Okay,
we
have
a
movement
in
a
second.
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
know
that
for
both
mayo
and
the
upcoming
one,
which
is
shipley's,
choice,
shipley's
choice-
I
just
so
happened
to
be
in
a
community
meeting
quite
a
few
years
ago.
I
think
going
back,
I
believe,
probably
about
about
four
four
and
a
half
years
ago,
when
the
pto
president
had
asked
shipley's
choice
hoa
to
give
her
a
hand
in
in
fundraising-
and
I
know
mayo
elementary
equally
worked
very
hard.
A
These
are
hard
projects
for
the
community,
but
I
do
also
recognize
the
the
proud
ownership
that
the
communities
also
have
when
they
have
this
opportunity.
It's
truly
an
enterprise
level,
fundraising
and
the
benefit
that
it
serves
our
students
by
having
it
is
absolutely
outstanding.
A
So
I
would
just
wanted
to
give
an
extra
shout
out
to
the
pto
of
both
mayo
and
shipley's
choice
elementary
because
they
have
done
a
fabulous
job
in
getting
this
getting
their
school,
the
playground
equipment
that
they
need,
and
obviously
the
help
of
staff
and
and
maneuvering
through
that
and
getting
the
best
equipment
possible.
Thank
you
so
much
stewart
crawford.
So
we
have.
We
do
have
a
couple
comments
coming
in,
so
we
have
miss
albee,
miss
ellis
and
miss
antoine
missalvi.
D
So
I
just
want
to
express
my
excitement
for
this
project
because
one
of
the
first
constituents
I
ever
responded
to
as
smob
was
a
fourth
grader
at
mayo,
elementary
school
who
reached
out
to
me
and
said
that
she
really
wanted
a
playground.
So
I'm
super
excited
that
this
is
going
through
a
special
congrats
to
her
on
on
her
hard
work
on
fundraising.
For
this
awesome
project,.
I
First
of
all,
I
just
have
to
echo
the
kudos
to
the
pto's.
This
is.
This
is
amazing
work
when
this
gets
done
when
people
when
people
fundraise
like
this
and
they
see
a
need
for
their
students
and
they
make
it
happen.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
process
when,
when
a
pto
does
this,
do
they
they
come
to
you
and
say
we
want
a
playground?
How
much
is
this
going
to
cost?
Are
they
helping
the
design?
How
does
that.
Q
Yes,
would
they
put
in
a
major
amount
of
work,
request
saying
that
they
would
like
to
add
some
playground
equipment
we
share
with
them
our
standards
and
what
meets
our
playground
safety
standards,
and
sometimes
they
have
some
equipment
that
you
know
they
would
like
to
have
and
we
go
through
whether
you
know
we
can
meet
it
or
not
and
most
of
the
time
you
know
we
work
together.
Well,
they
do
a
great
job.
Fundraising
they
work
well
with
us
once
that
is
done.
Q
E
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
motion
that
we
bundled
503
and
504,
but
I
see
dr
alado
was
stepped
out.
So
I
take
that
back
because
he
would
have
to
make
the
recommendation
for
504..
Okay.
A
Sure
but
yeah
I
didn't
even
see
he
was
gone
now.
That's
okay,
because
we're
just
gonna.
A
These
are
great.
You
know
when
public
private
partnerships
get
together,
because
government
can't
do
it
all,
and
so
these
are
great
examples
of
how
we're
able
to
work
so
closely.
I
don't
see
any
more
comments
from
board
members,
anything
buddy
from
the
audience
that
would
like
to
say
a
word
or
two
about
this
project.
Seeing
no
motion
miss
hell,
please
call
roll.
A
A
L
L
A
Okay,
we
have
unanimous
in
second,
I
see
no
comments
any
any
members
of
the
audience.
Seeing
no
motion
miss
hal,
please
call
roll
miss
alby.
A
Okay,
next
up
is
the
big
item
of
the
night,
all
right,
6.01,
the
superintendent's
recommended
fiscal
year,
2021
capital
budget
and
six-year
plan.
A
Good
evening,
before
we
begin
with
budgets,
I
did
want
to
just
say
a
couple
notes
on
budget
night
tonight
tonight
we
will
hopefully
be
striking
the
budget
firing
any
complications.
A
We
do,
of
course,
have
a
plan
b
date
for
that,
and
with
that
in
mind,
I
do
want
to
express
large
considerations
of
gratitude
to
all
the
staff
and
to
all
the
board
members
who
participated
in
this
process.
A
It's
an
undertaking,
it's
a
giant
budget
with
giant
budget
books
and
that's
just
the
summary
pages.
So
I
know
that
the
staff
works
hard,
I
on
weekends,
and
on
evenings
and
first
things
in
the
mornings.
A
So
for
that,
congratulations,
I
think
that's
a
victory
in
and
of
itself,
because
here
we
are
ready
to
take
our
votes.
This
evening,
our
budget
chair
and
the
budget
committee
have
worked
very
hard
in
preparing
this
in
a
manner
that
is
flows
well
and
freely,
and
so,
with
that
in
mind,
I'm
going
to
take
a
back
seat
to
the
actual
amendments
in
and
of
themselves
in
the
management
to
miss
ellis
and
will
reserve
myself
outside
of
individual
comments
as
a
member
tonight
to
parliamentary
procedure,
as
should
anything
unique
come
up.
A
So
with
that
in
mind,
I
believe
alex
and
dr
alato,
you
guys
are
up
for
starters.
L
Before
I
get
my
recommendation
for
the
capital
budget
and
then
discussion
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
move
on
to
the
operating
budget,
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
your
comments
of
thanks
to
the
team.
It
is
an
incredible
amount
of
work
that
is
almost
year-round
now.
I
think
they
take
about
two
weeks
off
in
july,
but
it's
in
terms
of
budget,
so
I
want
to
thank.
You've
got
alex
and
lisa
seaman
crawford
sitting
before
you.
L
O
Are
here
to
present
the
fy21
capital
budget,
as
well
as
the
six-year
capital
improvement
plan
the
exhibit
before
you
is
a
replica
of
the
exhibit
that
was
presented
as
part
of
the
superintendent's
budget
introduction
in
december
absent
any
amendments
that
may
be
undertaken
tonight.
There
is
no
difference
between
the
document
that
lays
before
you
at
the
moment
and
the
one
you
saw
in
december
and
with
that
we
are
prepared
to
undertake
any
questions
or
amendments.
You
may
have.
G
A
I
We
do
I
first
I
have
to
take
a
moment.
I
did
speak
briefly
giving
an
update
on
the
budget
committee,
but,
as
committee
chair,
I've
been
very
involved
in
sort
of
collecting
information
as
board
members,
so
that
just
so
the
public
knows
the
the
board.
Members
do
not
work
together
in
unison,
in
developing
their
ideas
or
their
amendments,
or
anything
like
that.
So
the
budget
committee
sort
of
is
able
to
serve
as
a
gathering
place
and
we've
worked
closely
with
the
staff
and
we
provided.
I
We
kept
feeding
questions
to
the
staff
because
we
get
this,
we
get
this
in
december.
I
believe
we
got
it
a
little
light
reading
over
the
holidays,
but
always
as
we're
trying
to
carefully
consider
what
adjustments
may
need
to
be
made
in
the
best
interest
of
our
students.
I
We
begin
to
gather
information
and
we've
been
firing
off
questions
now
for
a
couple
of
months
to
mr
chuck
novich
and
his
staff
and
the
questions
a
lot
of
times,
we'll
get
responses
and
it
leads
to
more
questions,
and
so
we
keep
firing
back
and
you
guys
have
been
remarkable
in
responding
and
being
very
prompt
with
your
responses,
and
I
know
how
hard
you
guys
are
working,
and
I
just
want
to
give
you
my
thanks.
I
All
of
you.
So
as
I
said,
we
worked
through
some
procedure
during
the
budget
committee
meeting,
so
I'm
going
to
explain
that
all
now
so
currently
before
us
is
the
capital
budget.
I
Once
we
finish
with
the
capital
budget,
we're
going
to
I'm
going
to
introduce
some
amendments
that
have
been
developed
by
various
board
members.
We
will.
I
will
first
read
through
the
entire
list
of
amendments
so
that
everyone
is
able
to
see
what's
what's
on
the
table,
what's
going
to
be
on
the
table,
because
one
amendment
may
affect
another
amendment
for
some
board
member
and
they
they
need
to
be
able
to
consider
all
of
that
and
so
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
see
what
the
board
members
are
considering.
I
We
want
to
make
sure
you
all
are
are
aware
of
what
the
proposed
amendments
are
that
are
coming.
So
I'm
going
to
read
once
through
the
list
of
amendments
and
then
I
will
go
back
and
introduce
one
amendment
at
a
time,
and
one
amendment
at
a
time
will
be
on
the
table
for
someone
to
move
and
discuss
and
vote
on,
and
then
we
move
to
the
next
amendment.
When
we
finish
with
the
amendments,
we
still
have
to
vote
on
the
entire
budget
as
amended.
I
If
it
is
amended
and
once
that
happens,
assuming
we
do
pass
a
capital
budget
this
evening,
we
will
break
very
briefly
for
staff
to
make
any
adjustments
to
the
figures
and
then
that
I'm
sorry,
that
is
when
we
will
vote
on
the
capital
budget.
So
once
the
staff
brings
back
those
numbers,
we
will
look
at
sort
of
the
final
budget
that
we
are
proposing
to
pass
and
then
we
will
vote
on
it
and
then
we'll
move
on
to
the
operating
budget
and
follow
the
same
procedure.
I
So
if
everyone's
clear
on
that,
oh
and
one
more
thing
to
note
once
the
amendments
have
been
introduced
there,
they
will
be
made
available
online
for
anyone
who
wants
to
follow
along,
and
I
will
give
you
that
information
as
soon
as
I'm
done.
Reading
the
amendments
so
for
the
fiscal
year,
21
capital
budget.
I
The
following
three
amendments
are
being
proposed:
amendment
1
decrease,
1
million,
fifty
thousand
dollars
of
local
county
funding
to
the
superintendents
recommended
fiscal
year,
2021
fiscal
year
to
2023
capital
budget
line
items,
titled
security
related
upgrades
to
result
in
a
two
million
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
total
request
for
each
of
this
specified
fiscal
years.
The
impact
of
this
amendment.
It
reduces
the
fiscal
years
2021
to
2023
capital
budget
recommendations
by
one
million
four
hundred

H
Thank
you.
Madam
president.
This
amendment
is
submitted
to
align
aacps
school
facilities,
design
efforts
with
the
recently
identified
best
practices
for
school
system
entrance
for
your
door,
security
technologies,
as
identified
by
our
office
of
school
security,
the
aacps
facilities
division
and
the
johns
hopkins
applied
physics.
Laboratory's
comprehensive
report
on
school
technology
has
developed
for
the:
u
s:
department
of
justice,
as
you
will
recall
in
december
2019,
our
board
voted
to
increase
the
physical
security
posture
of
school
entrance
foyers
in
new
construction
schools
by
including
bullet
resistant
glass
and
construction
plans.
H
After
close
consultation
and
collaboration
with
the
anne
arundel
county
police
department
and
with
due
deference
to
their
well-known
tactical
and
operational
procedures
regarding
school
security,
it
has
determined
been
determined
that
the
use
of
more
appropriate
code
compliant
and
law
enforcement
community
endorsed
best
practice
door
technologies
for
school
entrance
for
your
door.
Security
protection
will
achieve
our
goal
of
increasing
the
physical
security
posture
of
school
entrance
four
years.

Miss

hi,

Aye
motion
passes

one.
I
Amendment
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
I
think
we're
all
clear
because
there
was
no,
it
wasn't
really
discussion.
It
was
just
supported,
but
we
will
re-read
the
amendment
before
we
vote
on
it
from
here
on
out
in
case
there
are
any
changes.
I
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
looks
like
we
do
have
a
couple
notes
of
discussion:
ms
schollheim
and
then
miss
hummer.
Michelle
hunt.
G
Thank
you
so,
for
the
benefit
of
not
only
my
colleagues
up
here,
but
the
audience
and
those
watching
at
home,
goshen
farm
is
a
property.
That's
been
owned
by
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
for
quite
some
time,
and
I
just
want
to
tell
you
all
a
little
bit
about
why
I
am
proposing
this
amendment,
so
the
the
use
of
the
land
can
be
traced
back
to
1663
and
the
farm
house.
That
resides
that's
on
the
property.
The
structure
on
the
property
was
built
sometime
in
the
late
1780s.
G
It
was
first
listed
on
the
tax
records
in
1798
over
time
that
the
farm
was
a
working
farm
from
the
1800s
census.
We
can
see
that
nine
slaves
also
lived
on
the
property
lore.
Has
it
that
those
who
own
the
property
during
the
1812
war
could
could
watch
those
events
going
up
the
river
the
the
property
has
exchanged
hands.
You
know
multiple
times
over
the
years,
including
a
relative
rumored,
to
be
related
to
alexander,
graham
bell.
G
G
They,
the
the
property,
has
a
variety
of
farms
on
it.
Now
and,
and
has
you
know,
over
years,
lots
of
different
uses?
You
know
plants
a
victory
garden
during
world
war
ii
in
1967.
G
Initially
that
property
was
for
a
junior
high
school,
but,
as
we
all
know
now,
there
are
two
middle
schools
reside
on
a
property
separate
from
that
and
that
land
has
not
yet
been
needed
as
a
school
because
it
sits
on
the
edge
of
the
peninsula,
it
will
likely
not
be
needed
for
a
school
in
the
future,
and
so
the
the
rationale
for
this
is
to
preserve
a
historic
structure.
That
structure
is
in
desperate
need
of
repair.
G
That
structure
is
on
the
maryland
register
of
historic
places
and
it's
a
very
important
part
of
the
history
of
the
cape
sinclair
of
the
broadneck
peninsula
and
anne
arundel
county,
and
it's
one
of
the
few
examples
left
of
a
colonial
farm
in
the
county,
and
so
every
time
it
rains.
My
heart
breaks
a
little
bit
more
because
I've
gone
to
the
property.
G
With
several
of
my
colleagues,
and
so
I
know
what
a
state
that
house
is
in,
this
would
provide
a
one-time
capital
investment
to
stabilize
that
property
and
preserve
it
for
educational
purposes,
for
our
students
for
generations
to
come,
and
I
hope
my
colleagues
will
support
this
amendment.
Thank
you.
F
Goshen
farm
is,
is
a
wonderful
treasure
in
anne
arundel
county
and
very
grateful
to
the
goshen
farm
preservation
society
that
works
that
and
it
does
give
a
benefit
to
our
students.
However,
we
have
an
existing
contract
with
the
goshen
farm
preservation,
society
that
charges
them
zero
dollars
in
rent
and
in
return,
the
society
shall
fund
plan
design,
construct,
maintain,
restore
and
provide
all
services
and
materials
as
needed
on
the
premises.
F
So
if
the
society
would
like
to
renegotiate
the
terms
of
the
existing
contract,
they
may
formally
request
that
of
the
board,
but
until
then
we
should
not
be
considering
considering
violating
the
terms
of
an
existing
contract.
Grants
to
non-profits
are
not
the
role
of
the
board.
We
another
property
that
we
own,
that
has
a
similar
lease
is
maryland
hall,
which
our
students
use
all
the
time.
However,
we
have
never
provided
grants
to
maryland
hall
to
improve
that
property.
They
have
gone
to
the
state
and
to
the
county
and
gotten
extensive
work.
F
The
society
is
actually
appearing
before
the
state,
the
county
delegation
on
friday,
to
seek
a
grant
for
this
very
work,
and
I
hope
they
are
successful
that
and
encourage
them
to
also
seek
a
grant
from
the
county
to
do
that.
But
providing
such
grants
to
non-profits
is
not
the
role
of
the
board
and
we
need
to
honor
the
existing
contract
that
we
have
with
this
organization.
A
Thank
you,
miss
hummer,
miss
antwine
and
then
final
comment
with
mrs
schulhan.
E
Thank
you.
It's
my
understanding
that
that
that
current
contract
has
not
been
up
for
any
type
of
negotiation
in
nearly
five
to
ten
years,
and
and
there
was
nothing
that
I
was
able
to
find
to
say
when
it
would
be
back
before
us
to
negotiate
so
us
being
proactive
in
supporting
what
has
been
described
as
a
historical
treasure
would
not
would
not
be
necessarily
arbitrarily
giving
money
against
a
contract,
but
introducing
money
to
preserve
the
treasure.
That's
there.
E
I
am
specifically
in
support
of
this
particular
amendment
because
of
the
black
history
that
is
there
as
well
that
it
it
is.
It
was
recommended
to
us
that
much
of
what
was
there
in
that
area
was
built
by
slaves
and
has
been
preserved
since
so
I
support.
I
support
that.
I
also
support
figuring
out
how
we
can
bring
the
contract
back
before
us,
so
that
we
can
support
them
further.
I
Miss
ellis,
thank
you.
I
did
have
an
opportunity
to
visit
this
treasure
that
we
have.
I
understand,
miss
hummer's
concerns,
but
I'm
concerned,
if
our
tenant
is
that
what
we
call
them,
that
their
organization
that
has
that
is
currently
using
the
land
if
they
are
unable
to
to
do
what
is
needed
to
secure
this,
the
historic
structure
on
that
property.
I'm
still
concerned
about
that
structure,
that's
on
aacps
property,
and
I
tell
you
that
that
land
is
a
tremendous
learning
environment
for
our
students.
I
I
I
do
want
to
commend
gaussian
farm
for
the
beautiful
gardens
I
do
know.
One
of
those
gardens
is
specifically
dedicated
to
the
slaves
who
work
the
land
there,
and
that
truly
is
an
important
piece
of
history
there.
G
I
just
really
want
to
encourage
my
colleagues
to
support
this
again.
That
building
was
was
built
in
the
late
1780s
and
if
that
building
falls
to
the
ground,
which
again
is
on
the
maryland
register
of
historic
places,
then
it's
just
a
pretty
piece
of
land.
We
need
to
do
more
to
be
proactive.
This
is
not
the
same
as
maryland
hall.
This
is
a
very
unique
situation
involving
a
historic
structure,
and
I
I
just
encourage
my
colleagues
to
support
this
place.

M
A
S
B
B
B
B
B
M
H
I'm
just
going
back
to
something
you
know
a
little
backtracking.
It's
come
to
my
attention
that
goshen
farms,
the
folks
they've
they're,
submitting
a
bond
bill
this
year
to
the
state
to
support
their
efforts
to
try
and
preserve
our
property,
and
mr
biandi
is
going
to
forward
me
a
copy
of
their
bill.
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion
to
this
board
that
we
vote
tonight
to
support
their
efforts
and
indicate
to
the
state
delegation
that,
as
the
owners
of
the
property,
we
appreciate
and
support
their
efforts
to
maintain
this
tremendous
educational.
A
Asset
in
our
county,
absolutely:
okay:
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
do.
We
have
any
board
comments.
Seeing
none
on
this
motion
and
second,
any
comments
from
the
audience.
Seeing
no
movement,
miss
hal,
please
call
roll
and
if
mr
live,
you
could,
please
repeat
your
motion
just
for
the
benefit,
since
we
didn't
have
any
comment
on
it,
I
just
thought
we
would
remove.
A
L
O
So,
as
is
usual
and
customary
our
norm
at
this
time,
is
to
bring
the
board
up
to
date
and
speed
regarding
developments
that
occurred
since
the
submission
of
dr
aladdi's
budget.
As
you
as
you
know,
just
by
basis
of
time,
we
really
wrap
up
the
work
on
dr
alado's
budget
in
late
late
november,
early
december,
so
that
it
can
be
introduced
to
the
board.
Dr
lotto
did
that
this
year
on
december,
18
2019
since
that
time,
two
rather
large
developments
have
occurred.
One
is
the
governor
has
remitted
his
budget
recommendation
to
the
general
assembly.
O
So
that's
one
stake
in
the
ground
and
the
second
thing
is
that
we've
been
able
to
firm
up
some
developments
with
respect
to
the
kerwin
funding
and
the
blueprint
funding
the
culmination
of
those
have
generated
some
revisions
to
the
revenue
estimates.
So
we'd
like
to
begin
tonight
by
bringing
the
board
up
to
speed
again
with
those
revenue,
adjustments,
the
pluses
and
minuses
to
close
the
gap
in
time
between
december
18,
2019
and
now
february,
19
2020..
O
O
That's
before
you
is
depicting
an
increase
request
of
the
county
government
of
four
million
six
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
dollars.
Six
hundred
thirty
one
again,
that's
a
match.
There's
no
change
to
either
the
local
funding
or
the
fund
balance,
so
the
bottom
line
in
the
unrestricted
category
remains
exactly
as
the
board
saw
it
with
the
adjustment
to
balancing
act,
adjustment
between
state
and
county.
So
on
the
unrestricted
side,
the
general
fund
request:
year-over-year
increase
the
77
million
nine
hundred
ninety
thousand
two
hundred
and
three
dollars
on
the
restricted
side
of
the
ledger.
O
O
You
take
all
of
those
adjustments
into
account
in
our
base
budget.
That's
being
recommended
by
the
superintendent
before
any
amendments
are
entertained,
is
an
increase
of
three
hundred
fifty
thousand
one
hundred
forty
dollars
over
that
what
was
originally
recommended
back
in
december
and
on
a
percentile
basis.
The
superintendent's
recommendation
back
in
december
was
a
6.67
percent
increase.
O
The
resulting
adjustments
have
led
us
to
a
point
where
we're
now
at
a
six
point:
six,
nine,
so
six
point:
six:
seven
percent
up
to
six
point:
six:
nine
percent
year-over-year
increase
from
all
funding
sources.
There
have
been
no
changes
at
all
on
the
expense
analysis
side,
again
absent
any
amendments.
So
we
will
not
go
through
that
because
that
is
exactly
as
was
presented
back
in
december
and
with
that
we're
prepared
to
entertain
any
questions
and
or
amendments.
A
A
So
with
that
being
stated,
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
miss
ellis.
A
I
You
so
for
the
fiscal
year
2021
operating
budget
we
have
received.
The
budget
committee
has
received
a
total
of
26
proposed
amendments
and
for
any
newcomers,

pretty
well
compared
to

Less

I
I
I
consider
the
budget
to
be
one
of
the
most
important
responsibilities
of
this
board.
We
have
a
responsibility
to
our
students
to
seek
funding
for
every
student
need.
We
also
have
a
responsibility
to
the
students
and
taxpayers
of
anne
arundel
county
to
ensure
that
funds
that
we
receive
are
spent
responsibly
and
efficiently
and
that
they
are
truly
being
used
to
the
direct
benefit
of
our
students.
Education.
I
I
We
also
know
that
dr
arlato
carefully
considered
his
request.
Knowing
there
are
limits
to
what
the
county
will
be
able
to
provide
for
this
board
to
significantly
increase,
the
superintendent's
request
would
put
us
in
a
position
of
having
the
priorities
determined
by
the
county
rather
than
this
board.
I
firmly
believe
that
each
of
us
was
put
here
whether
elected
or
appointed,
to
make
up
the
body
that
is
to
determine
the
priorities
of
this
school
system.
I
I
It
is
my
wish
in
the
upcoming
years
to
find
places,
we
can
actually
begin
to
cut
spending,
but
I
do
not
want
to
cut
into
areas
without
a
careful
and
clear
purpose
for
the
cuts
again
by
cuts.
I
don't
mean
we
should
spend
less
on
education.
I
mean
we
need
to
ensure
that
the
dollars
are
going
directly
for
the
students
where
they
are
most
needed.
I
I
There
will
begin
to
be
a
shift
from
work
that
is
taking
place
here
on
river
road
in
favor
of
enhanced
learning
in
the
classroom.
According
to
the
msde
financial
data,
anne
arundel
county
is
number
seven
out
of
24
school
districts
in
spending
on
administration,
despite
being
number
16
in
per
pupil
spending
in
that
same
year.
This
is
not
meant
to
be
disparaging
against
our
administration
in
any
way.
This
is
simply
a
philosophical
difference
in
educational
practices
that
this
board
will
need
to
begin
exploring
as
we
listen
to
teachers,
students
and
parents.
I
Among
the
24
maryland
school
districts,
anne
arundel
county
is
number
one
in
spending
on
textbooks
and
instructional
supplies.
The
superintendent's
recommended
budget
for
fiscal
year.
21
requests
an
increase
of
four
million
nine
hundred
forty
four
thousand
six
hundred
twenty
three
dollars,
which
is
11.8
percent.
Above
last
year's
budget
student
enrollment
rose
two
percent
last
year.
I
I
And
by
doing
that,
I
came
up
with
a
figure
of
increasing
the
budget
by
two
million
four
hundred
forty
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
five
dollars
instead
of
the
eleven
point,
eight
percent
of
which
equates
to
four
million
nine
hundred
forty
four
thousand
six
hundred
twenty
three
dollars.
I
To
me
is
an
extremely
conservative
cut
from
the
superintendent's
request,
as
it
does
not
nothing
to
reduce
spending
on
supplies
and
materials
just
seeks
to
slow
down
the
increased
spending
in
this
category
again.
Anne
arundel
county
is
number
one
in
maryland
in
spending
in
this
category
and
I'm
very
very
focused
on
some
really
important
priorities
that
I
know
many
of
these
board
members
have
teachers,
guidance,
counselors
to
name
a
few.
I
F
F
F
So
that's
a
million
dollars
right
there.
That
would
is
an
increase
for
different
things
that
are
opening
next
year.
I
know
in
the
past
three
years,
the
over
the
past
three
years,
the
school
system
has
made
a
concentrated
effort
to
reduce
the
number
of
fees
and
other
out-of-pocket
costs
for
our
families,
so
we've
gradually
been
reducing
lab
fees
or
art
fees
for
classrooms.
Correct
and
we've
enhanced
that
this
covers
more
of
those
materials.
We've
also
been
those
of
us
with
elementary
students
and
those
of
us
with
many
elementary
students.
F
One
time
know
how
long
those
supply
lists
used
to
be,
and
I
would
be
asked
to
bring
in
25
boxes
of
of
tissues,
and
we
realize
that
is
really
a
burden
for
many
of
our
families.
So
part
of
this
enhancement
is
to
increase
the
those
supplies
so
that
students
aren't
having
to
parents,
aren't
having
to
provide
those,
but
also
teachers,
don't
feel
as
more
things
are
being
hopefully
being
provided
in
the
classroom.
So
teachers
don't
feel
that
they
also
have
to
impact
that.
F
So
I
have
concerns
about
how
this
increase
will
impact
students
in
the
classroom.
Anytime,
I
see
a
reduction
or
an
increase.
I
want
to
know
the
impact,
and
this
is
a
big
number,
but
it
doesn't
tell
me
specifically
what
we
will
have
to
cut
what
we
will
not
be
able
to
do.
If
we
cut
it
by
two
and
a
half
million
dollars,
it
doesn't
take
into
account
what
potential
financial
impact
this
could
have
on
parents
and
teachers.
F
When
we
decrease
supply
budgets,
teachers
feel
compelled
to
provide
more
classroom
resources
from
their
own
pockets.
Aacps
has
made
a
concerted
effort
over
the
past
few
years
to
decrease
the
supply
list
so
that
nobody
is
feeling
they
have
to
provide
the
necessities,
such
as
tissues
and
hand.
Sanitizers.
F
Teachers
have
quite
enough
to
worry
about,
and
a
lack
of
tissues
in
january
should
not
be
one
of
them,
while
studying
expenditures
and
looking
ways
for
save
is
always
commendable.
Large
undefined
cuts
have
the
potential
to
negatively
impact
the
students,
learning
and
adding
financial
stress
to
teachers
and
parents.
So
I
am
all
for
fiscal
responsibility
and
for
us
taking
a
deeper
in-depth
dive
of
this
category
and
getting
more
detailed
information
from
staff
and
seeing
how
we
compare
and
what
are
the
differences
between
us
and
other
counties.
E
O
You
know
textbooks
workbooks
manuals,
trade
books,
reference
material
library,
books,
pretty
much
everything
that's
used
in
a
school
house,
that's
either
in
print
or
in
digital
format
as
well.
Okay,.
E
E
I
So
again,
I'm
not
cutting
any
specific
funds.
I'm
trying
to
keep
this
on
level
because
again
we
are
anne,
arundel
county
number,
one
in
the
state
and
spending
in
this
category,
and
so
I
trust
our
superintendent
to
determine
I
I
we
can't
even
say
cuts,
not
asking
him
to
cut
spending,
I'm
just
keeping
spending
in
line
with
where
we
were
last
year.
In
other
words,
we're
still
going
to
be
spending
44
million
300,
five
hundred
five
dollars
on
supplies
and
materials,
which
is
significantly
more
than
last
year.
It's
two
million
four
hundred.
Eighty,
two!
I
A
Thank
you.
Are
you
good,
miss
antoine?
Did
you
have
anything?
Okay,
all
right,
miss
schoelheim,
then
mr
granny,
ms
scholheim.
G
G
Four
of
us
were
elected
up
here
to
represent
four
of
us
were
elected
on
a
ballot
that
our
voters
voted
on
in
in
november
of
2018,
to
represent
various
districts
of
this
county
and
and
and-
and
I
definitely
don't
want
to
cut
anything-
that's
going
to
affect
students,
but
I
definitely
agree
with
slowing
the
growth
of
this
category
in
accordance
with
our
enrollment
and
program
enhancements
that
are
all
listed
in
the
back
of
the
book,
which
include
crofton
and
tripoli.
Thank
you.
S
Miscella
is
just
in
your
defense
at
both
figures.
Actually,
the
amount
of
your
decrease
and
the
amount
that
would
still
be
increased
are
both
2.447
million.
So
it's
almost
exactly
half
that's
why
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
follow,
but
so
your
your
math
is
good.
I
have
a
question
for
mr
shaknovich.
S
The
superintendent's
requested
increase
in
this
category
is
a
is
about
4.9
million.
Do
you
have
an
estimate
of
what
it
was
last
budget
cycle?
What
the
request
was
from
the
superintendent
in
this
category
and
what
was
actually
obtained
even
directionally.
O
Well,
so
so
here's
here's
the
the
trend,
so
the
board,
the
board,
the
public,
the
superintendent,
have
directed
us
on
a
journey
to
eliminate
fees
not
require
charges
for
required
courses,
increase
materials
of
instruction.
So,
by
way
of
example,
back
in
2019
we
purposefully
eliminated
fees
associated
with
coursework
in
high
schools.
So
there
was
a
purposeful
bump
up
to
that.
O
In
addition
to
enrollment
increase
consumer
cost
increases
and
programmatic
enhancements
in
20,
we
eliminated
supply
fees
for
middle
schools
and
then
eliminated
all
fees
from
environmental,
ed
programs
at
all
grade
levels
in
the
21
year.
O
O
I
won't
call
them
nuisance
fees,
but
some
others
have
used
that
phrase
to
me
so
eliminate
fees,
supply
and
out-of-pocket
costs
or
the
the
heavy
burden
of
out-of-pocket
costs
in
a
part
of
our
educators.
I
don't
have
an
exact
number
without
going
to
get
the
last
two
years.
S
Before
you're
very
sharp,
so
I'm
going
to
assume
that
I
was
not
articulate
in
the
way
that
I
asked
that
question,
because
that's
all
very
helpful
one
thing
I'll
note
in
response
to
what
you
said,
which
again
very
helpful,
is
that
those
feet
cuts
in
high
school
and
middle
school
already
baked
into
this
and
would
have
been
taken
to
account,
would
be
reflected
in
the
the
4.3
percent
increase
that
ms
ellis
has
for
student,
enrollment
and
cpi,
and
then
obviously
the
separate
one
for
program
enhancements.
What
I'm
asking
is
just
directionally.
S
This
is
about
a
4.9
million
request
in
this
category.
Obviously,
usually
most
categories
are
not
even
close
to
satisfied
by
what
comes
back
from
the
county
account.
What
I'm
saying
is
directionally
in
the
last
budget
cycle.
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
how
much
the
county
council
approved
for
an
increase
in
this
category?
Even
percentage-wise.
O
So
again,
no,
no,
I
don't
they
fully
funded
absent
a
very
few,
so
they,
the
county
council,
funded
in
excess
of
96
something
percent
of
the
budget,
so
they
funded
almost
the
entire
request
that
pertains
to
supplies
and
materials.
There
were
no
no
cut
substantive
cuts
that
were
made
by
the
county
council
in
this
last
cycle
that
would
have
affected
this
programmatic.
S
O
A
Okay,
ms,
did
you
have
a
final
comment
to
make?
Are
you
good.
I
I
don't
want
to
call
it
a
cut,
it's
not
a
cut,
so
I
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone.
We
have
some.
I
read
26
amendments.
We
have
some
really
high
priority
items
that
I
think
are
important
to
a
lot
of
us
and
I
think
we
should
be
determining
what
our
priorities
are
by
allowing
some
funds
to
focus
in
other
areas,
like
perhaps
guidance,
counselors,
psychologists,.
S
Less
comment
I'll
say
not
only
based
on
what
I've
seen
tonight,
but
also
what
I've
seen
from
ms
ellis
in
the
budget
committee.
I
actually
think
you
know
in
four
plus
years
that
I've
been
here.
This
is
one
of
the
more
thoughtful
detailed
kind
of
drilled
down
amendments
that
I've
seen
come
from
board.
Member.
With
regard
to
a
proposed
line
item
in
the
superintendent's
request,
I
think
it's
reasonable
to
bake
in
a
2
student
enrollment
increase.
S
I
think
it's
reasonable
to
bake
in
a
2.3
percent
cpi
increase
and
then
to
have,
on
top
of
that
a
whole
separate
category
of
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
program
enhancements,
which
is
actually
higher
than
the
number
than
mr
shaknovich
said
for
for
tripoli
and
for
crofton,
so
that
captures
both
of
them
there.
So
I
I
intend
to
support
this.
A
Seeing

number

comments:
introduction
miss

I
I
I
Ftes
teachers-
this
was
204
more
than
the
actual
from
fiscal
year.
18.
I
And
it
ended
up
teachers
and
it
ended
up
being
three
331.5.
I
I
I
I
asked
we
had
a
presentation
just
a
few
weeks
ago
on
recruitment
efforts,
and
I
asked:
is
there
any
reason
to
expect
that
the
market
is
changing
and
that
we're
going
to
have
an
easier
time,
hiring
teachers
this
year
than
last
year?
That
there's
a
there's
going
to
be
a
greater
pull
of
well
qualified
teachers?
And
the
answer
was
no.
I
So
sorry,
I'm
reading
last
year,
additional
teachers
requested
by
the
superintendent
in
the
program
enhancement
section
of
the
budget
book.
I
We
have
an
additional
burden
for
hiring
this
year
because
if
we
do
expand
triple
e,
assuming
this
budget
passes
and
it's
in
there
and
18
additional
teachers
for
the
new
high
school,
I
believe
we
need
to
be
realistic
about
how
many
positions
we
can
fill
with
quality
teachers
this
year.
Class,
size
reduction,
is
an
important.
I
I
believe
this
is
a
modest
cut
under
the
curt
current
circumstances,
leaving
us
ahead
of
last
year
and
allowing
us
to
focus
on
more
achievable
and
equally
important
goals,
such
as
hiring
more
guidance,
counselors
and
student,
mental
health
support
staff,
as
well
as
addressing
teacher
retention,
because
that's
one
thing
we
can
control
more
than
we
can
control
the
market
of
available
teachers
to
hire
is
keeping
our
teachers.
I
So
I
hope-
and
I
see
miss
hal
as
I've
been
reading.
I
see
you
found
so
hopefully
everyone
is
now
able
to
follow
along
with
the
numbers
to
see
where,
where
I
was
coming
from
what
numbers
I
was
using
and
I
hope
to
get
everyone's
support.
D
So
the
smaller
the
class
size,
the
less
students
there
are
in
a
class
and
the
more
attention
each
individual
teacher
can
give
to
those
students.
So
when
I
walk
into
a
class
and
have
a
bad
day,
my
teacher
can
now
notice
that
I'm
having
a
bad
day
and
ask
me
if
I'm
doing
okay
so
to
me,
having
more
teachers
to
focus
on
class
size
reduction,
is
the
first
step
in
making
sure
that
we
have
mentally
stable
and
sound
students,
because
the
teachers
are
often
the
first
to
notice
when
a
kid
is
not
doing
well.
D
So
for
that
reason
I
will
be
voting
against
this
amendment,
but
I
think
it's
an
important
consideration.
Consideration
excuse
me
for
my
rest
of
the
rest
of
the
board
members
to
consider.
E
Thank
you,
president
corkdale.
Vice
president
ellis.
I
I
wish
we
had
talked
a
bit
about
this
amendment
prior
to
it
being
presented
here
because,
based
on
the
rationale
you
shared,
I
concur
in
part,
but
it
is
still
a
a
reduction
and
it
still
contributes
to,
in
my
opinion,
to
overcrowding
in
the
classroom.
When
we
don't
have
enough
teachers,
I
do
understand
introducing
ambitious
goals
that
we
can't
meet
and
paying
for
and
having
money
there
with
no
no
recruitment
values
to
to
prove
that
we're
able
to
meet
that.
E
F
G
Thank
you.
I
I'm
a
parent
too
and
and
of
course,
I
believe
in
smaller
class
sizes.
I
looked
at
this
from
a
different
perspective.
I
pulled
up
kaffirs,
that's
the
comprehensive
annual
financial
report.
These
are
actual
numbers
of
they're
audited
after
a
a
particular
fiscal
year,
and
so
it
shows
you
know
what
the
original
request
was
in
the
15
categories,
including
instructional
salaries
and
wages.
What
the
final
amount
was
and
then
what
we
actually
spent
and
what
the
delta
was.
G
So
I
I
looked
at
this
to
come
up
with
my
thoughts
on
this
one
because
it
I
think
these
numbers
are
important
to
note.
So
in
2016
there
was
a,
I
mean
for
lack
of
a
better
word,
a
turnover
rate
of
2.3
percent
in
2017
1.6
in
2018
1.1
and
20
19.7,
and
so
there
is
a
little
bit
of
wiggle
room
because
there's
you
know
we
can
run
all
day
long,
but
are
they
here?
G
For
you
know,
student
mental
health
and
for
any
other
number
of
topics
that
are
going
to
come
up
tonight,
and
so
that's
kind
of
what
I
based
my
opinion
on
of
this
amendment
and
I'll
be
supporting
it
just
based
on
you
know
the
actual
numbers
and
the
the
facts
of
what
we
were,
what
we've
asked
for
and
what
we
were
able
to
achieve
in
previous
years-
and
you
know
these
numbers,
aren't
these
numbers
don't
lie?
These
are
actual
audited
numbers
from
the
previous
fiscal
year.
G
So
that's
what
I
base
my
opinion
of
this
of
this
amendment
on
so
thank
you.
S
S
Of
generality
say
that
only
two
out
of
the
26
amendments
tonight
and
I'm
glad
there's
26
and
not
86
or
so
like
last
year,
only
two
out
of
the
26
proposed
reductions.
So
just
for
that,
I
want
to
commend
ms
ellis
for
making
some
thoughtful
suggestions
to
reduce
the
budget
in
certain
categories.
I
think
that
my
ultimate
goal-
and
it's
not
going
to
be
a
surprise
to
anyone-
is
to
have
this
body,
be
the
body
that
passes
the
budget,
that's
closest
to
the
budget.
S
That's
actually
implemented
not
to
send
it
out
into
the
ether
and
kind
of
hope
and
pray
that
it
comes
back
in
in
some
form
that
we
can
live
with.
So
I
want
to
say,
with
the
exception
of
last
year,
my
recollection
for
this
category
in
particular,
of
adding
teachers
for
class
size
reduction
is
about
in
it.
S
You
know
it
could
be
vary
by
you
know
10
or
20
whatever,
but
it's
about
on
the
order
of
what
we
see
here
of
the
120
ftes
and
each
time
the
board
supported
that
or
even
added
to
it
and
said
how
necessary
it
was
because
class
sizes
are
too
big
and
I
think
some
of
them
are.
I
certainly
agree
with
that.
I'm
a
parent
of
two
children
elementary
school.
S
I
have
very
serious
personal
and
practical
concerns
about
class
size,
but
then,
when
the
budget
came
back
through
the
whole
political
cycle,
every
single
member
of
the
board.
I
think,
but
me
voted
to
pass
the
budget
and
and
commended
what
a
great
budget
it
was
and
how
we
taken
all
these
great
strides.
S
That
does
not
work
for
me
and
it
should
not
work
for
this
board.
It
shouldn't
work
for
you.
We
are
the
ones
that
should
be
controlling
this
budget
and
that's
why,
when
this
does
come
back
from
the
county
council,
if
this
doesn't
pass
tonight,
ms
ellis,
we
will
have
another
opportunity
to
address
that
because
we
are
going
to
be
the
final
ones
to
touch
this
budget.
S
We
should
be
making
the
final
determination,
not
other
public
officials,
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
last
year
obviously
was
an
outlier
and
that,
as
I
understand
it,
it's
been
made
abundantly
clear,
unequivocally
clear
from
the
county
executive
and
his
staff
that
there's
not
going
to
be
the
level
of
increase
that
there
was
last
year
and
that
we
need
to
take
account
of
that.
S
So
I
want
I
want
to
commend
ms
ellis
for
taking
into
account
those
those
real
fiscal
realities
and
trying
to
look
for
something
that
could
possibly
be
adjusted
and
to
say,
okay.
Well,
we
wanted
to
hire
all
these
teachers
last
year,
but
we
actually
had
trouble
filling
those
spots.
That's
a
very
reasonable!
S
That's
a
very
reasonable
way
to
look
at
it,
so,
especially
in
the
context
of
all
24
of
these
other
amendments
seeking
increases,
I
I
I'm
gonna
as
someone
who
wants
smaller
class
sizes,
I
want
I
want
this
to
be
abundantly
clear
in
case
I
get
criticized
for
this.
I
want
smaller
class
sizes,
but
increasing
by
68
helps
us
get
smaller
class
sizes,
sending
out
a
number,
that's
much
larger
than
that,
and
then
having
the
county
executive
or
the
county
council
make
a
determination
of
well.
Where
exactly
do
where?
Should
we
get
that?
S
A
So
I
I
will
tell
you
this
one:
I
I'm
probably
not
going
to
decide
my
vote
until
it
says
my
name
on
it
and
I've
been
struggling
with
it,
because
if
we
do
go
back
to
last
year,
I
had
proposed
nine
amendments
of
cuts,
two
of
them
made
it
and
the
rest
of
them
didn't
have
enough
support
and
had
to
be
withdrawn,
and
none
of
them
affected
the
classroom
directly.
A
So
I
do
laud
the
coming
around
of
wanting
to
do
cuts
because
I
basically
took
that
approach.
Last
year
I
had
about
six
million
dollars
in,
and
six
million
dollars
out
got
too
supported
and
the
rest
had
to
withdraw,
because
there
was
no
interest
when
we
got
down
the
road.
So
I
do
applaud
this
and
under
any
other
circumstance
I
would
be
voting
for
both
amen,
one
in
amendment
two,
but
I
would
have
rather
them
be
not
directly
affecting
the
classroom
and
having
gone
through
the
exercise.
A
Last
year,
I
did
recognize
that,
yes,
we
could
make
other
adjustments
in
other
places
with
other
non-essential
personnel.
That
may
make
operations
a
little
bit
more
struggled,
but
I
would
rather
struggle
here
in
this
building
than
struggling
out
into
our
schools
directly,
and
you
were
right.
There
is
a
recognition
this
year
in
particular
that
you
know
our
fire,
our
police,
our
schools
are
struggling
to
find
positions,
but
if
we
don't
make
the
money
available,
then
we
will
never
know
if
we're
filling
them
or
not.
A
A
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
little
statement
there.
But,
oh
finally,
probably
one
of
the
most
important
things,
though,
is
that
I
got
to
say
I
didn't
do
all
of
this
homework.
A
I
will
definitely
be
right,
alongside
miss
ellis
on
that,
to
ensure
that
we
are
spending
prudently.
I'm
I'm
just
not
sure
if
I'm
convinced
that
cutting
this
number
in
half
that
that's
a
huge
number
and
we
have
amendments
to
actually
increase
this,
and
I
think
one
of
them
was
mine.
So
thank
you
very
much,
miss
ellis
once
again.
A
H
Madam
president,
I'm
going
back
to
1996
1995.
In
fact,
when
I
was
hired
by
the
board
of
education,
we've
had
class
size
reduction
efforts
year
in
and
year
out,
some
years
you
make
some
progress
other
years,
you
don't,
but
it's
something
that
has
been
a
constant
siren,
not
only
in
the
school
system,
but
I
heard
it
when
I
was
on
the
staff
of
the
county
executive
for
another
nine
years.
H
H
H
This
is
not
something
to
trifle
with
or
to
start
to
cut.
In
my
opinion.
Additionally,
I
agree
with
miss
corgadel
that
you
know.
Last
year
I
also
submitted
quite
a
few
numbers
of
amendments
that
reduced
budget
line
items.
I
did
that
in
order
to
balance
out
things
I
may
have
wanted
to
do
in
the
classroom.
H
A
I
I
I'm
just
going
to
address
a
few,
a
few
comments
that
were
made.
One
is
the
wish
that
we
could
find
the
spending
elsewhere
or
the
the
savings
elsewhere.
I
It
was
mentioned,
should
we
pass
the
budget
with
all
of
the
requested
additional
teachers,
and
we
can
look
at
how
that
plays
out
and
give
it
a
look
next
year.
That's
what
I'm
doing
this
year.
I
looked
at
how
it
played
out
last
year,
and
I
know
that
there
are
savings
to
be
had
here
for
these
24
other
priorities,
several
of
which
I
think
are
really
important,
but
here's
one.
I
really
want
to
point
out
again.
I
I
just
I
really
think
again.
We
have
some
really
important
priorities.
None
of
them
is
greater
than
class
size
reduction,
but
we
have
to
be
realistic
about
what
we
are
going
to
achieve
with
the
budget
that
we
pass,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
we
can
hire
15
additional
guidance
counselors
like
that
and
boy.
Do
we
really
need
them
as
well.
B
I
A
Thank
you
very
much,
miss
ellis.
I
don't
see
any
more
comments
from
board
members.
Do
we
have
any
testimony
from
the
audience?
Yes,
sir,
mr
silkworth,
please
state
your
name
officially,
my
name.
T
Is
robert
silkworth,
a
48-year
veteran
teacher?
I
have
to
say
the
testimony
that
I've
heard
that
resonated
with
me
so
far
about
this
subject
was
from
our
student
member.
T
From
my
standpoint,
my
philosophy
is
about
caring
for
students.
It's
about
the
building
of
relationships.
I
go
back
to
1972
brooklyn
park
high
school,
I
taught
classes
with
43
45
students
we
have
classes
today.
I
think
that
are
as
large
the
reason
her
testimony
resonated
with
me,
because
she
talked
about
that
relationship
piece
between
her
as
a
student
and
the
teacher.
T
With
all
due
respect,
I
think
we
should
keep
the
recommendation,
because
the
more
teachers
that
we
can
get
to
be
able
to
lower
the
class
sizes
so
that
teachers
will
have
a
better
shot
at
building
the
relationship
piece
between
themselves
and
their
students.
The
better
chance
we're
going
to
be
able
to
do
so.
Many
things,
the
better
chance
they're
going
to
have
for
a
great
education
they'll,
be
able
to
achieve
their
potential
and
we'll
be
able
to
close
some
of
the
gaps
that
we
have.
U
Dennis
sullivan,
I'm
from
north
county
high
school,
I
I
absolutely
agree
with
you:
melissa
I'll,
be
the
first
one
to
tell
you.
I
think
you
have
to
do
a
a
cost-benefit
analysis
of
what's
happening
right
now
and
what's
going
to
happen
right
now,
is
that
you're
going
to
have
teachers
leaving
because
they're
not
getting
paid
on
the
steps
that
they're
they're
going
to
be
put
on,
and
because
of
that,
you
can
wish
for
as
much
as
you
want,
but
the
reality
is.
U
Those
wishes
are
going
to
go
away
pretty
soon,
because
you're
going
to
see
other
teachers
leaving
you're
going
to
see
people
having
another
mass
exodus
out
to
howard
county
because
you're
not
paying
your
teachers
properly.
There
are
over
600
teachers
that
are
not
on
the
proper
step
right
now
that
are
five
step.
Five
four
to
five
steps
behind,
and
so
with
that
in
mind,
you
have
to
make
that
decision.
U
You're
gonna
lose
your
veteran
teachers,
not
your
first
year
teachers,
your
veteran
teachers,
think
about
that
when
you're
making
that
decision-
and
this
is
responsible-
this
is
this-
is
a
responsible
way
of
doing
it.
And
if
you
want
to
get
get
the
help
and
support
for
the
the
kids
for
with
with
counseling,
that
is,
I'm
always
gonna
be
for
that
and
you're
you're
you're.
You
did
resonate
with
me
too.
I
want
small
class
sizes,
but
I
do
not
want
to
see
any
more
veteran
teachers
leave.
Thank
you.
S
In
response
to
the
public
testimony,
in
particular
that
of
mr
silkworth
and
his
references
to
what
ms
alby
said,
mr
shaknovich,
so
if
if
the
proposal
is
124
and
ms
ellis
is
suggesting
an
amendment
to
68,
that's
just
over
50
or
so
I
would
call
it
51
52
of
of
what
the
superintendent
has
asked
for,
with
the
exception
of
last
year.
Put
last
year
aside,
can
you
give
us
a
general
sense,
directionally
for
the
two
or
three
cycles
prior
to
that?
O
O
We
computed
the
amount
of
teachers
amount
of
classrooms
that
are
over
our
guidelines
in
terms
of
two
student-teacher
ratio,
and
we
last
year
the
superintendent
and
his
testimony.
He
reiterated
it
again
wanted
to
basically
get
back
to
a
a
break-even
point
over
a
four-year
time
period,
and
so
we
last
year
requested
a
quarter
of
that
class
size
reduction
number
and
we
received
we
actually
received
109
out
of
the
100
right
number.
Here
we
received
109
out
of
124
that
requested
last
year
in
prior
and
again
that
was
an
outsized
year.
O
In
other
years
it
has
been
less
so
they've
traditionally
first
tried
to
fill
the
teachers
for
enrollment
number
and
then
they
look
to
this
area
as
the
next
funding
elements.
So
we
have
been
getting
them
into
better
years.
There
were,
unfortunately,
in
the
tougher
economic
years
there
were
years
actually
when
we
got
zero
teachers
at
all,
and
yet
we
grew.
O
S
Okay,
but
does
it
sound
right
to
you
that,
with
the
exception
of
last
year,
so
if
you
take
into
account
the
budgets
I've
been
exposed
to
so
if
you
take
out
last
year,
I've
been
exposed
to
three
before
that,
and
so
in
the
two
or
three
before
last
year.
Again
just
directionally
is
it
about
accurate
to
say
that
the
final
budget
came
out
at
about
half
of
what
was
requested
in
this
category.
O
A
Okay,
we
don't
have
any
more
questions
or
comments
from
the
members.
Ms
ellis,
please
read
the
amendment
one
more
time
prior
to
calling
roll.
I
S
Yeah,
I
also
want
smaller
class
sizes
and
I
want
the,
but
I
want
the
board
of
education
to
be
the
final
arbiter
of
how
many
additional
teachers
we
should
have
for
class
size
so
with
an
eye
toward
us
doing
that
in
a
final
meeting
after
the
budget
comes
out
of
the
county
council.
I
am
for
now
going
to
vote
in
support
of
this
amendment.
Aye.
V
M
A
Okay,
guys,
these
were
probably
the
mo
the
more
complicated
of
of
all.
So
I
think
we
should
be
able
to
get
a
good
groove
going
on
here
with
the
these
remainder
ones.
So
we
are
on
amendment
number.
I
Three:
let's
go
amendment
three
restore
all
years
of
experience
that
were
docked
from
any
employee
upon
hiring
impact
increases
fiscal
year,
21
operating
budget
recommendation
by
two
million;
eight
hundred
seven
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
two.
So.
A
G
In
years
past
newly
hired
unit,
one
employees
were
docked
between
one
and
three
experience
steps.
This
practice
started
in
the
in
fiscal
year,
2010
as
a
way
to
create
equity
between
employees,
whose
steps
were
just
frozen
and
new
employees.
At
the
time
two
parties,
aacps
and
tac,
agreed
to
these
terms
for
new
hires
over
time.
The
practice
decreased,
and
today
we
no
longer
dock
any
experience.
Steps
for
new
hires
contracts
are
renegotiated
every
year.
G
I
don't
believe
for
a
second
that
the
terms
of
any
contract
can't
be
renegotiated,
including
this
now
very
inequitable
situation.
What
started
as
a
move
to
create
equity
is
no
longer
equitable.
Frozen
steps
are
being
restored,
but
we
have
yet
to
resolve
this
issue.
It
is
the
board's
responsibility
to
be
good
stewards
of
taxpayer
dollars.
G
G
No
one
signed
away
their
ability
to
negotiate
a
better
contract
once
economic
conditions,
improved
they've,
improved,
we're,
restoring
steps,
and
we
should
fix
this
issue
once
and
for
all
nationwide.
It
was
once
common
practice
to
pay
women
70
cents
on
the
dollar
to
men.
That
delta
is
much
smaller
today,
so
we
can't
and
definitely
punish
our
now
veteran
teachers
who
joined
us
during
lean
times.
We've
become
a
training
ground
for
amazing
teachers
just
to
see
them
leave
for
better
paying
jobs
nearby
where
compensation
is
aligned
with
their
experience.
G
That
is
not
a
good
use
of
taxpayer
money.
According
to
the
teacher
recruitment
and
workforce
diversity
report,
we
receive
teachers
with
six
to
twenty
years
of
experience
represented
thirty
six
percent
of
turnover
last
year.
Another
thirty
five
point:
six
percent
of
our
turnover
were
teachers
with
one
to
five
years
of
experience.
G
Teachers
leave
us
for
lots
and
lots
of
reasons,
but
one
of
them
is
to
teach
elsewhere.
One
reason
why
74.2
percent
of
teachers
of
the
teachers
that
left
our
county
last
year
could
be
due
to
our
previous
practice
of
docking
experience,
steps
a
practice
that
was
in
place
until
last
year.
I
urge
my
colleagues
to
do
what
is
right
and
stop
holding
our
veteran
teachers
pay
hostage.
G
G
S
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
was
a
very
thoughtful
bit
of
context
from
miss
scholheim,
which
I
appreciate
I
do
say
with
utmost
respect
on
this
item
and
several
others
here
that
there's
already
been
a
lot
of
ventilation
of
these
issues
and
so
that
everyone
in
this
room
can
see
this
process
through
at
a
reasonable
pace
and
not
go
until
thursday.
Like
we
did
last
year,
I'm
going
to
move
to
call
the
question.
A
W
F
Point
of
one
could
we
have
a
point
of
order?
May
I
ask
a
question?
Mr
miss
corcoran.
Yes,
miss
homer,
I
called
the
question,
but
you
had
already
called
my
name
to
speak
that
I
would
be
you
had
said
michelle
hi
mr
grant
and
miss
hummer,
and
the
question
was
called
before.
I
was
given
an
opportunity
to
speak.
A
I'm
going
to
defer
to
mr
grannon
if,
but
technically
now,
once
the
once,
the
question
is
called.
This
is
the
order
that
I'm
receiving
it
in
out
of
courtesy
to
members
as
well
as
our
production,
guys,
but
typically,
if
the
question
is
called,
if
we
had
six
lights
still
lit
and
I
called
out
their
order,
I
do
not
believe
we
could
go
back
and
it
was
calling
the
question.
However,
what
was
the
final
vote?
I
think
we
have
to
have
a
super
majority
for
that,
in
which
case
I
believe
the
motion
failed.
A
Qualify:
okay,
I'm
just
verifying
there.
Unfortunately,
ms
hummer,
I'm
gonna
have
to
decline
because
I
I
want
to
do
this
evenly
equally
for
everyone.
So,
but
I
do
take
your
point
and
wanted
to
clarify
that.
Okay,
let's
call
roll
on
the
vote.
Please.
A
Yes,
please
reread
public
comment.
No,
when
a
calling
of
the
question
occurs,
no
public
comment
is
permitted.
Yeah.
That's
that's
why
it's
a
super
majority
because
it
shuts
everybody
down
always
thank
you.
Miss
ellis.
S
Yeah
before
I
vote,
I
just
wanna
make
it
abundantly
clear
to
every
all
my
colleagues
and
to
the
public
that
I'm
not
trying
to
shut
anyone
down.
This
is,
I
think,
in
fairness,
we
can
say
this
is
a
very
well
trot
issue.
It's
been
discussed,
people
understand
it,
I'm
trying
to
make
it
actually
the
whole
process
be
transparent,
so
that
everybody
can
see
this
group
to
conclusion
and
to
the
extent
that
people
don't
have
their
minds
made
up
on
these
issues.
I
think
that
will
come
out
in
the
votes
here.
V
H
A
F
Your
origin,
the
superintendent's
proposed
budget,
includes
one
step
for
all
eligible
employees,
a
backstep
for
all
eligible
employees
from
fiscal
year
2012
and
a
two
percent
cola.
It's
important
for
the
public
and
employees
to
understand
that
any
compensation
request
in
the
budget
is
a
placeholder.
F
It
is
detailed
out
in
specifics
in
order
to
provide
an
exact
dollar
amount,
but
it
is
a
pool
of
money
that
the
bargaining
units
can
propose
and
negotiate
to
be
allocated
in
whatever
way
their
members
feel
is
best.
In
the
past,
some
bargaining
units
have
negotiated
all
compensation
in
the
form
of
a
step,
while
others
chose
to
use
their
part
of
the
pool
to
provide
all
of
its
members
with
a
cola
that
is
the
benefit
of
collective
bargaining.
The
priorities
of
individual
employee
groups
can
be
addressed.
F
F
The
various
bargaining
unions
advocate
for
publicly
if
this
amendment,
along
with
the
superintendent's
proposal,
are
fully
funded,
each
unit
will
be
able
to
come
to
negotiations
and
either
agree
to
using
the
compensation
exactly
as
delineated
here,
or
they
can
propose
other
disbursements
that
reflect
the
wishes
of
their
members,
but
with
an
additional
one
percent
cola,
the
pool
will
be
increased
enough
to
allow
for
many,
if
not
all,
of
the
requests
we
hear
from
our
employees
to
be
fulfilled.
I
urge
my
fellow
board
members
to
support
this
amendment.
I
Thank
you,
I'm
I'm
just
wondering.
Is
there
any
reason
not
to
put
the
wording
on
this
amendment
to
be
the
equivalent
of
a
one
percent
cola
so
that
it
doesn't
imply
that
the
board's
will
is
for
it
to
be
used
as
a
one
percent
cola?
I
I
understand-
and
we
all
understand,
but
for
it
to
be
reflected
on
the
record,
that
this
is
what
the
board
is
voting
for.
It's.
F
I
I
don't
know
that
necessarily
there's
a
difference.
It's
still
part
of
the
pool
that
can
be
negotiated,
anyone.
It
is
a
one
percent.
It's
calculated
to
be
a
one
percent
cola
for
across
all
the
all
the
employees
to
have
there
and
it,
but
it
does
not
just
like
anything
the
superintendent
has
proposed.
It
does
not
have
to
be
used
that
way.
That
will
be
totally
in
negotiations
right.
I
O
I
F
Q
A
We
have
consensus
on
the
friendly
amendment
to
edit
with
equivalency
mr
grantham.
E
U
U
Thank
you.
My
name
is
dennis
sullivan
from
north
county
high
school,
I'm
1
000.
Behind
this.
I
just
give
you
a
little
history
of
what
we've
been
coming
here
for
probably
five
years
advocating
for
this.
This
would
be
a
big
way
to
to
really
solve
this.
U
This
problem-
and
I
know
you
guys
all
know
the
problem-
I've
probably
talked
to
every
single
one
of
you
either
personally
or
sent
you
an
email,
and
I
really
do
think
that
this
does
go
a
long
way
and
what
I
really
the
only
question
I
always
had
is
whether
or
not
parents
wanted
to
have
this
too,
and
so
last
week
I
I
went
and
put
out
a
petition
with
a
couple
of
my
friends
and
they
basically
came
back
with
800
signatures.
That
also
agree
with
this
amendment.
U
To
fix
this,
this
only
took
about
25
days
to
get
800
people.
I
want
to
submit
this
to
you
guys,
if
you
don't
mind,
so
you
guys
can
read
it
over.
I,
it
spans
across
the
entire
county.
It
was
done
by
a
group
called
paige,
the
parents
addressing
the
achievement
gap
that
really
want,
and
they
believe
that
teachers
are
going
to
be
important
to
this
this
community.
I
really
really
appreciate
all
your
hard
work.
U
I
know
you
guys
don't
get
paid
enough
to
deal
with
all
these
problems
and
I
can
definitely
definitely
totally
get
it
because
I
feel
like
I'm
not
getting
paid
enough
right
now
either.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
I
please
please
vote
for
this.
It
will
help
save
teachers
from
leaving
it
will
help.
It
will
help
the
community.
It
will
help
your
schools.
Thank
you.
W
Good
evening,
russell
leone,
president
of
teachers,
association
and
elementary
school
teacher,
what
dennis
is
saying,
is
100
correct.
This
will
go
a
long
way
to
fixing
those
gaps
that
we
have
and
that
have
been
existing
for
many
years
that
we've
been
trying
to
get
out
of,
and
the
the
simple
fact
that
this
also
is
for
all
employees
is
huge,
because
we
stand
with
our
our
fellow
unions
in
sayak
and
ael
and
nafsny,
because
this
is
what's
right.

Hi

board
of

candidate
in
district
six.
I
just
want
to
echo
what
my
colleagues
have
said.
This
will
go
a
long
way
towards
retention,
and
that
will
contribute
then
later
on
to
when
we
can
get
to
lowering
class
sizes.
T
Robert

I'm

mention
that
earlier.
I
have
to
tell
you
folks.
This
is
absolutely
marvelous
over
the
course
of
my
career
in
orlando

has
treated

extremely
well.
When

anything.

stands
with

for
this
amendment.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
ma'am,
okay,
public
testimony
aside.
Can
we
please
get
a
restatement,
particularly
because
we
did
do
a
tech
minor
technical
edit
to
it
miss

Please.
M
S
I
Amendment
5
add
2.2
million
to
the
superintendent's
recommendation
to
be
used
for
teacher
recruitment
and
retention
retention.
Funds
would
be
used
to
introduce
incentives
for
teachers
beyond

Closing
equity

gaps
recruit
recruitment
funds
would
be
used
to
recruit
more
classroom
teachers
which
addresses
capacity
concerns
due
to
aggressive
student
and
enrollment
growth
and
overcrowding
in
our
schools.
The
impacted
increases
of
fiscal
year
21
operating
budget
recommendation
by
2
million
two
hundred
thousand
dollars.
A
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
amendment
number
five,
I'm
not
seeing
any
comments.
So,
let's
roll
with
the
public
testimony.
E
I'm
caught
up
so
I
I
would
respectfully
request
that
we
come
back
to
this
specific
amendment,
considering
that
minutemen
for
passed
that
change
changes.
His
number
greatly.
B
E
Mr
novice
and
and
and
his
team
can
identify
what
that
cost
would
be,
I'm
going
to
send
a
text
over
to
to
you
don't
and
if
you
can
get
it
out
to
them,
and
they
can
get
the
info
back
to
me,
please,
so
that
I
can.
S
A
So
well
it
it
regardless!
Mr.
E
S
E
As
I'll
I'll
share
publicly,
the
the
intention
of
this
motion
was
to
address
the
retention
and
recruitment
in
our
school
system,
so
my
plan
is
to
readjust
the
2.2
mil,
since
we
have
approved
7.2
million
dollars
in
consideration
of
the
overarching
budget.
Although
the
2.2
mill
is
well
under
1
percent
of
dr
lotto's
recommendation,
I
still
want
to
adjust
the
numbers
and
then
revise.
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
request
to
hold
the
amendment:
let's
go
on
to
amendment
number,
six
and
and
miss
antoine
we'll
get
to
that.
That
will
become
that
we'll
take
that
on
after
amendment
number
26,
which
I
believe
is
the
last
declared
one
so
I'll.
Let
you
get
started
working
with
those
folks
and
let's
move
on
to
amendment
number
six
amendment.
I
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second,
I
do
not
see
any
lights
lit.
So
public
comment.
A
Seeing
no
movement
miss
howell,
please
call
roll
miss
albee.
V
I
Add
an
additional
one
million
dollars
to
the
superintendent's
recommendation
to
meet
ongoing
special
education
needs,
including
funding
for
the
following
specialized
instruction
instruction
and
physical
education,
vocational
education
speech,
language
services,
occupational
therapy,
physical
therapy,
assistive
technology,
counseling
impact.
It
increases
fiscal
year,
21
operating
budget
recommendation
by
1
million
dollars.
E
E
One
area
that
came
up
consistently
was
the
area
of
special
education.
Therefore,
I
am
respectfully
recommending
an
additional
one.
One
million
dollars
to
the
superintendent's
recommendation
to
meet
ongoing
special
education
needs
to
fund
special
and
specialized
instruction
instruction
in

E
A
Thank
you,
miss
antwine,
dr
alato,.
L
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you
mad
president.
A
L
Antoine
could
you
so
that
we
can
make
sure
we
get
the
budget
numbers
correctly?
The
amendment
does
not
include
any
staffing
specifically
in
these
areas.
You
just
mentioned
that
in
your
comments.
Could
you
share
with
us
because
that's
in
a
as
you
know,
we
have
to
ask
for
staffing
different
than
we
ask
for
monies
right.
We
have
to
keep
those
separate.
So
can
you
tell
us
where
you
see
the
staffing
in
these
areas.
E
So
I
I
understood
in
my
research
and
requests
from
you
and
your
staff
that
one
of
the
underlying
needs
for
the
school
system
was
manpower,
and
I
I
believe
if
we
have
the
money
there
in
overarching
special
education,
we
can
contribute
to
that
manpower
if
to
include
those
staffing
needs.
So
are
you
recommending
now
that
that
be
a
separate
amendment?
Yes,.
L
Ma'am
we
have
to
ask
for
ftes,
we
have
to
ask
for
the
staffing
separately
than
money.
We
just
can't
have
a.
We
can't
get
the
county
council
to
approve
a
bucket
of
money
to
be
spent
in
various
ways
and
take
money
from
that
to
buy
staffing.
We
have
to
get
the
staffing
approved
in
advance,
in
particular
areas.
B
I
I
So
I
I
did
hear
something
about
technology,
but
what
are
we
buying
with
the
one
million
dollars
to
help
our
special
needs?
Special.
E
Education,
so
so
excluding
the
staffing
needs
there
are
still
needs
for
specialized
instruction.
That
doesn't
necessarily
mean
a
staff
person,
but
the
the
updated,
the
updates
that
are
needed
in
specialized
instruction
that
go
towards
special
education
instruction
and
physical
education,
vocational
education
speech,
language
services.
E
When
we
especially
when
we
choose
to
outsource
that
support,
it
will
go
towards
occupational
therapy,
physical
therapy,
the
assistive
technology
and
the
advancements
that
are
available
to
us
for
that.
And
if,
if
we
are
to
exclude
staffing
because
we're
requesting
counselors,
I
will
remove
counseling
from
that
request.
I
Okay,
so
you
said
specialized
instruction:
you're,
not
talking
about
the
actual
staff
you're
talking
about
the
training
of.
E
Not
only
the
training,
but
it
was
my
understanding,
especially
after
visiting
many
of
our
schools.
It
is
there
in
our
special
education,
I
guess
box
of
need
in
terms
of
instruction
many
of
our
our
teachers,
our
staff
and
otherwise
come
out
of
pocket
in
order
to
meet
the
needs
to
successfully
support
the
educational
needs
of
these
students.
I
L
So
I'm
sort
of
hearing
this
for
the
first
time,
so
I'm
going
to
think
on
the
fly
and
I
would
say
that
if
the
monies
were
there
in
whatever
way,
shape
or
form
in
areas
of
speech,
language
services,
occupational
therapy
and
physical
therapy,
while
we,
while
we
have
some
of
those
folks
on
staff,
we
also
have
contracts
with
outside
vendors,
so
that
could
be
contractual
money
to
increase
services
in
those
areas
as
needed
and
then
again
thinking
out
loud.
L
I
L
L
Know
from
exactly
where
she's
coming
on
this,
so
I
don't.
I
want
to
tread
lightly,
but
we
certainly
could
take
any
monies
that
were
available
and
use
those
in
contracted
services
in
these
areas,
because
these
are
certainly
areas
of
need
that
our
students
with
ieps
will
always
need,
and
so
it
certainly
could
lighten
the
load
of
by
with
contractors
in
these
areas
could
lighten
the
load
of
our
of
our
staff.
I
E
So
ftes,
I
I
sincerely
understand
it
was
my
understanding
when
I
discussed
this
over
several
months
of
of
investigative
reporting.
I
guess
you
you
can
say
trying
to
make
an
informed
amendment.
E
I
gathered
information
from
the
superintendent
from
mr
shaknovitz
and
his
team
as
well
as
going
directly
to
some
of
these
schools
to
see
those
needs.
If,
if
worst
case
scenario,
we
don't,
we
are
unable
to
get
those
ftes,
we
will
still
have
funds
to
augment
the
support
that
we
need,
and
this
allows
that.
A
Z
Z
A
I
I
AA
M
I
M
A
S
A
I
Add
five
additional
special
education
teachers,
five
special
education
teacher
assistants
and
one
social
worker
for
a
self-contained
diploma
bound
program
at
southern
high

replace
an
existing
non-public
partnership

increases
fiscal

21
operating
budget
recommendation
by
419
952.
A
Okay
motion
and
second,
I
am
going
to
speak
as
a
member
on
this.
This
is
for
as
many
board
members
have
heard
for
the
kennedy
krieger's
closing
at
southern
high
school.
A
This
will
create
an
environment
for
which
we
can
continue
the
work
that
we
are
already
doing
with
those
students
in-house
recognizing
that
not
all
of
them
would
be
able
to
matriculate
into
alternative
programs,
and
so
that
is
that
was
the
request
being
made
for
this
one.
I
have
miss
hummer
and
mr
grannon
miss
hummer.
F
So
I
wholeheartedly
support
us
taking
over
and
keeping
this
program
intact.
S
So
this
is
just
a
point
of
information.
I
guess
I'm
seeking
the
information
from
from
you,
president
corcodell
as
the
movement,
but
I'll
also
take
any
information
from
anybody
else
in
terms
of
what
are
the
special
needs
of
these
students
and
then
also.
The
second
part
of
the
question
is:
is
this
basically
a
head
for
head
replacement
of
the
people
that
were
had
been
providing
the
support
before
so.
A
Although
I
kind
of
know
the
plain
english
answers
to
that,
I'm
going
to
defer
to
staff,
so
we
can
get
specificity
in
in
better
interaction,
dr
alado
or
alex.
O
Sure,
we'll
start
so
we've
as,
as
was
alluded
to
we've,
had
a
long-standing
program
with
a
non-public
provider
that
non-public
provider,
depending
on
the
year
and
year
out-
and
I
was
educating
somewhere
between
16
to
24,
students-
depends
on
how
many
students
are
eligible.
O
These
are
special
education,
iep
students,
but
one
of
the
unique
variables
are
they
are
diploma
bound,
so
they
are
diploma-bound
iep
special
education
students
and
they're
also
provided
with
field
experiences,
job
shadowing
internships,
etc
to
augment
their
instruction.
They
do
take
core
classes
because
again
they're
matriculating
towards
a
diploma,
and
then
they
are
integrated
with
the
rest
of
the
building
for
as
many
specials
as
absolutely
possible.
P
P
We
would
most
likely
that
would
be
per
their
iep
would
most
likely
be
putting
them
in
a
non-public
placement.
O
One
of
the
reasons
that
the
program
at
kennedy
krieger
was
successful
and
in
our
building
was
that
we
were
essentially
getting
rent
abatement,
so
we
were
not
being
charged
a
facility
fee
and
also
our
transportation
costs
were
not
as
great
as
we're
transporting
them.
The
youngsters
from
the
southern
region
to
southern
high
school
as
opposed
to
transporting
them
up
to
baltimore
or
the
other
kennedy
krieger
facility.
O
So
there's
a
pretty
good
offset
you'll
see
that
again,
mr
granted
there's
11
positions
here,
but
419
thousand
dollars
because
we're
crediting
the
offsets
in
not
paying
the
non-public
tuition,
not
not
the
extended
transportation
costs
etc.
So
we're
netting
the
program
down
from
the
existing
to
the
proposed.
S
So
in
fairness
to
president
corkeyville,
then,
although
this
is
for
purposes
of
this
budget,
styled
as
an
amendment
to
increase
when
you
actually
look
at
it,
it's
actually
a
cost
savings
compared
to
what
we
would
be
exposed
to,
because
all
of
these
students
obviously
will
have
to
be
educated
by
law.
We'd
have
to
be
sending
them
out
to
something
that
would
cost
more.
So
this
is
styled
as
an
increase,
but
it's
actually
a
decrease.
E
So
so
the
the
program
that
kennedy
krieger
offered
was
only
at
southern
high.
It
wasn't
at
any
of
our
other
schools
in
the
area.
O
Frey,
it
was,
it
was
unique
because
we
had
an
opportunity
at
southern
where
we
had
space
and
capacity.
We
also
had
a
student
population
that
could
avail
themselves
of
their
and
we
had
a
very
good
partner
that
was
willing
to
work
with
us
at
that
location.
F
O
E
G
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I'll
definitely
be
supporting
this
amendment.
I
was
sad
to
hear
that
the
kennedy
krieger
program
was
no
longer
going
to
exist
at
southern
high
school
and
and
how
heartbreaking
that
must
be
for
the
parents,
and
especially
the
students,
and
so
you
know
in
the
absence
of
that
continuing.
I
see
this
as
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
continue
to
do
the
very
best
we
can
for
their
students,
so
I
will
be
voting
yes
on
this.
D
Just
for
clarification,
the
same
implications
will
be
applied
to
this.
The
next
amendment
correct.
A
No
no
they're
coming,
they
are
for
separate
intents
never
mind,
but
coming
in
last,
okay,
miss
ellis.
I
Just
quick
question,
since
this
was
operated
by
another
entity,
is
there?
Is
there
a
training
mechanism?
Is
there
going
to
be?
AA
Thank
you,
I'm
joanna
tobin,
a
parent
at
annapolis,
high
and
also
a
candidate
for
board
of
education
district
six.
I
would
like
to
urge
the
board
to
pass
this
amendment.
I
happen
to
come
from
a
family
that
has
dealt
with
this
particular
niche
of
special
ed.
It's
very
complex.
AA
AA
AA
So
you
need
to
understand
how
important
this
is,
and
these
kids
have
often
been
traumatized
because
they're
hard
to
diagnose,
they
don't
fit
the
usual
categories,
and
most
of
them
have
been
bounced
around
a
lot
and
they
are
super
smart,
and
that
makes
it
harder.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
bringing
this
amendment.
AA
A
You
ma'am,
okay,
if
we
could
reread
the
amendment
since
we
had
some
discussion
prior
to
vote.
M
I
F
Yes,
I'm
thrilled
to
see
this
increase
for
our
special
centers,
especially
the
permanent
substitutes
back.
In
my
early
days
of
when
I
got
into
teaching,
I
originally
started
as
a
substitute,
and
I
would
substitute
at
some
of
the
special
centers
and
they
would
call
me
every
day,
because
many
substitutes
will
not
substitute
at
special
centers
because
they
don't
feel
qualified
or
overwhelmed
by
the
needs
of
many
of
the
students.
So
they
were
always
that's
going
back,
30
years
working
very
hard
to
try
to
find
substitutes
for
their
teachers
so
to
have
permanent
substitutes
there.
F
G
Obviously
I
support
increasing
special
education
teachers
because,
while
amendments
eight
and
nine
failed,
I
voted
for
both
that
would
have
been
ten
special
education
teachers,
ten
special
education
assistants,
and
so
I'm
just
asking
for
some
clarification,
especially
in
light
of
last
year
shouldn't
we
leave
the
the
placement
of
special
education
teachers,
teaching
assistants
and
permanent
subs.
Isn't
that
under
the
superintendent's
purview
to
decide
where
those
those
that
staff
goes?
G
A
So
this
was
an
amendment
that
was
working
in
conjunction
with
the
superintendent
and
alex
in
to
identify
the
needs.
These
are
the
needs
of
the
programs.
These
are
where
programs
are
housed,
and
so,
in
this
particular
case,
this
is
based
on
discussions
to
advance
some
of
the
needs
and
the
wishes
of
the
superintendent
and
his
staff.
So
I
will
defer
any
details
of
that
over,
but
that
is
why
they
were
included
right.
G
A
I
would
like
to
finish
because
I
I
put
the
amendment
in
but
and
most
certainly
I
would
like
dr
lauder
to
comment
in
but
I'll
just
point
out,
just
like
we
had
additional
teachers
in
on
the
kennedy
krieger,
there
have
been
additional
needs
that
have
been
identified
as
being
beneficial
to
add
into
the
budget
and
so
I've
the
I've
been
working
with
the
staff
on
that,
and
hence
we
have
our
amendment
that
came
in
that's
as
simple.
L
As
that,
so
in
the
I
think
it's
a
great
question,
michelle
heim
and
for
clarification
in
the
budget
that
is
before
you.
There
is
a
line
for
specialty
special
education,
staffing
in
specialty
sites,
so
some
of
the
staffing
that
we
believe
we
need
is
included
in
that
and
that's
what
I
released
in
december.
Those
were
our
best
numbers
at
the
time.
L
We've
continued
to
study
the
staffing
in
special
education
across
the
system,
not
only
at
the
specialty
sites
but
at
our
individual
satellite
locations
as
well,
and
as
we
are
studying
that
you
even
heard
in
some
of
the
public
testimony
the
need
of
for
staffing
from
staff
at
some
of
the
specialty
sites.
They
stood
before
you
at
the
microphone
and
shared
some
of
that
in
the
public.
Testimony
as
you
all
were
considering
the
budget,
so
we
just
don't
put
the
budget
out
and
then
stop
thinking
about
it,
we're
continuing
to
think
about
and
growing.
L
So
we've
gotten
to
the
point
that
since
we're
at
this
point
in
time,
we
thought
we
could
add
an
amendment
I
met
with
with
the
board
president
and
with
her
agreement.
She
agreed
to
put
it
in
that
these
are
areas,
and
I
do
appreciate
your
comment
that
all
right
staffing
should
be
the
responsibility
of
the
of
the
superintendent,
the
superintendent
staff.
So
I
very
much
appreciate
that
comment.
You
saying
that
publicly
I
could
tell
you
the
this
is
where
a
certain
need
is,
and
this
is
where
this
specific
staffing
would
go.
G
This
is
incredibly
helpful
and
I'm
I'm
grateful
for
your
clarification
on
that,
because
I
I
think
that
it's
obvious
I
support
this.
I
voted
for
all
the
other
amendments
related
to
special
education.
I
will
be
supporting
this
one
too.
I
just
needed
to
hear
the
clarification
from
you,
dr
aletta.
Thank
you.
E
My
concern
at
this
point,
though,
is
because
the
other
amendments
in
special
education
have
not
passed
that
what
do
we
do
about
the
other
schools
that
have
those
same
needs
if
this
should
pass
and
and
we
get
funding
for
that?
How?
What
is
the
plan
then
to
support
those
needs
with
these
additional
teachers?
E
If
they're
only
going
to
going
to
be
at
the
specialized
program,
schools.
O
O
In
addition
to
that,
there
was
a
request
for
an
additional
19.5
positions
that
are
at
our
specialty
sites,
which
are
our
regional
programs,
some
of
which
are
these
three,
but
some
of
them
could
be
like
at
glendale,
elementary
school
or
at
chesapeake
bay,
middle
or
high
school.
So
we
have
other
regionalized
places
so
this
this
is
in
addition
to
the
32.8
special
educators
for
our
birth
21
program
and
in
addition
to
the
19.4
special
educators
already
assigned
to
our
original
programs.
S
But
mr
shaknovich,
unlike
the
last
amendment,
I
guess
I
have
a
two-part
question.
This
is
this
is
not
the
amendment
that's
proposed
in
amendment
11
is
not
to
address
a
program
that
is
going
away,
nor
is
it
a
only
a
kind
of
purported
increase.
That's
going
to
save
us
money,
someplace
else.
This
is
just
a
re.
This
is
just
an
increase,
so.
O
In
general,
your
answer
is
yes.
However,
these
students,
once
again,
are
students
that,
if
we
cannot
service
appropriately
under
our
roof,
our
candidates
for
non-public-
but
this
here
is
not
specifically
designed
to
create
that
type
of
exchange.
It
can
prevent
additional
students
from
going
to
non-publics.
But
by
funding
this
I
am
not
proffering
to
you
that
I
am
explicitly
going
to
be
able
to
cut
my
existing
non-profit.
I
mean
non-public
expenditures.
O
G
O
Costs
again
it
could
at
the
margins.
Yes,
it
could
either
prevent
potentially
a
youngster
that
we're
currently
servicing
in-house
from
from
transitioning
to
a
non-public
or
at
the
margin
there
may
be
some
additional
non-public
students
that
could
come
back
capacity
is
an
issue
at
the
at
the
three
regional
centers.
If,
if
you've
been
through
ruth
parker
or
marley,
glenn
or
central
special,
I
mean
the
it's,
not
it's
not
like
a
traditional
state-rated
capacity,
kind
of
environment.
O
There
are
some
space
constraints,
much
of
it
attributed
just
to
the
to
the
amount
of
either
equip
adaptive,
equipment
or
mobility,
assistive
equipment,
etc.
So
it
takes
a
lot
more
square
footage,
so
there
are
some
logistical
implications
of
taking
on
more
students.
Again,
that's
why
I'm
couching
my
my
comments
to
mr
grant
and
to
you
to
say
at
the
margins.
Yes,
but
I
know
there
are
limits
to
that
because
of
some
of
the
constraints,
largely
space
constraints
that
we
have
well.
G
I
I
know
that
I
mean
I'm.
Obviously,
I've
voted
for
all
the
other
special
amendment
special
education
amendments,
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this
one
too,
and
I
just
hope,
there's
some
intentionality
to
to
trying
to
whittle
down
that
number.
Where
we
can.
You
know
if
this
goes
through
us,
the
county
executive
and
the
county
council.
Like
I,
I
would
love
to
see.
Ultimately,
our
non-profit,
non-public
placement
number
in
terms
of
tuition
and
also
in
terms
of
transportation
expenses,
go
go
down,
and
so.
L
That
is
a
clear
and
we
we
stand
right
beside
you
and
that's
a
that's,
a
that's,
an
ongoing
yearly,
monthly
daily
conversation
with
the
team,
particularly
special,
ed
team,
as
they
are
looking
for
ways
right.
It's
it's
so
individualized,
it's
per
student
conversation!
That's
why
it's
an
iep
right.
So
it's
it's
a
per
student
conversation
saying:
can
we
support
the
needs
of
that
student
and
we
want
that
answer
always
to
be
yes.
L
A
T
T
These
kids
have
the
same
dreams:
the
same
aspirations
as
all
of
our
children.
Do
they
just
have
some
extremely
severe
problems,
and
it's
amazing
that
they're
able
to
do
what
they
what
they
do.
I
had
the
honor.
Many
of
you
know
I'm
an
announcer
at
north
county
high
school.
I
had
the
honor
recently
to
you
know
when
you
win
a
state
title,
you
get
a
state
championship
banner
and
it
goes
up
in
the
gym.
That's
a
big
moment
and
I
had
to
honor
recently
our
unified
tennis
team.
I
believe
it
was.
T
They
want
a
state
title
and
I
know
many
of
those
kids
I
mean
one
of
those.
Kids
is
in
a
wheelchair
and
he's
fighting
for
his
life.
He
was
there.
He
also
was
there
when
it's
time
to
bowl
folks,
they
had
the
same
dreams,
the
same
aspirations.
I
look
at
that
place
and
say
I
don't
care
what
that
price
is.
These
kids
are
special
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
give
them
whatever
we
can
to
help
them
out.
So
please
vote
for
that.
A
I
Amendment
11
add
nine
additional
special
education
teachers,
12
special
education
teacher
assistants
and
11
permanent
substitutes
to
support
the
developmental
center
programs,
ruth
parker
easton,
marley
glenn
and
central
special
schools
impact
increases
operating
budget
recommendation
by
one
point:
one
million
six
hundred
eleven
thousand
nine
hundred
twenty
dollars.
Let's
help.
M
I
Amendment
twelve
excuse
me
one
moment:
amendment
twelve,
add
fifteen
additional
school
counselors
to
the
superintendent's
recommendation;
impact
increases
operating
budget
recommendation
by
one
million
five
hundred
forty
eight
thousand
six
six
hundred
dollars.
Some
moves.
I
I
I
don't
know
now:
what's
realistic,
15
additional
school
counselors
again,
if
this
passes
the
budget
this
summer,
I
think
we'll
hire
those
counselors
like
that
and
they
will
be
put
to
work
and
very
well
very,
very
much
needed.
That
being
said,
I
know
there's
a
following
amendment
for
six
additional
school
counselors
and
considering
where
we're
headed
with
this
budget.
That
may
be
more
more
realistic
at
this
point,
so
I'm
welcome.
I
welcome
any
other
comment.
O
S
Okay,
so
I
just
want
to
take
an
opportunity
to
say
this
to
whatever
extent
it's,
it's
not
clear,
I'm
sure
we
could
use
more
school
counselors
and
I'm
sure
dr
alato
put
a
lot
of
thought
into
his
recommendation
of
nine
and
weighing
different
priorities
based
on
his
long
experience
and
knowledge
of
this
particular
school
system
and
with
all
due
respect,
miss
ellis,
who
I
lauded
earlier
for
her
kind
of
deep
understanding
of
the
budget
and
her
scrutiny
of
these
line
items
and
everything
built
into
this
proposal
was
the
idea
that
she
was
going
to
get
offsetting
cuts
someplace
else,
those
cuts
did
not
happen.
S
S
S
Educational
specialist
who
sat
down
and
made
these
tough
choices
and
the
only
way
that
the
1.5
million
or
1.54
million
that
was
going
to
be
earmarked
for
this
was
that
there
was
going
to
be
an
offsetting
cut.
Someplace
else.
That
cut
has
not
happened,
and
then
we're
still
going
into
a
cycle
where
every
indicator
is
that
we're
not
even
going
to
be
able
to
meet
the
needs
that
dr
alato
asked
for
in
the
first
place.
So
just
want
to
make
it
clear,
I'm
sure
we
need
more
counselors.
S
I
hope
we
get
the
nine
that
dr
alato
asks
for
the
indications
are
we
may
not?
So
that's
why
I'm
going
to
vote
against
15
additional
counselors,
not
because
I
don't
think
there's
a
need,
but
it's
a
need
that
has
to
be
weighed
against
all
the
other
needs
that
we
have
in
keeping
this
ship
afloat
and
doing
the
best
job
that
we
can
for
our
students.
A
I
I
Okay,
we.
I
L
S
I
I
The
mental
health
of
our
students
and
guidance
counselors
are
not
psychologists
is
is
true,
but
they
are
that
resource
for
students
that
that
person
that
students
can
go
to.
They
are
the
person
that
helps
the
student
along,
and
these
shortages
are
very
concerning
to
me,
and
I
I'm
a
bit
frustrated
that
we
don't
have
more
money
to
work
with
now
to
address
this
concern.
But
I
I
I
don't
disagree
with
what
mr
grannon
said.
I'm
just
well
then.
S
Z
S
That's
not
the
right
metric
if
there's
a
metric
that
leads
to
such
an
outsized
disproportionate
number
beyond
what
dr
alato
is
seeking,
which
is
nine.
This
amendment
is
only
fifteen.
That
would
only
be
twenty
four.
That's
one
third
base
a
little
bit
more
than
one
third
of
sixty,
so
maybe
that's
not
the
right
metric,
maybe
that's
some
pollyanna
metric.
That
is
not
what
we
should
be
using
to
guide
these
decisions.
I
S
S
I'm
not
trying
to
be
glib
about
this,
but
you
know
there's
some
recommendation
out
there
that
you
know
I
should
drink
eight
glasses
of
water
a
day
I
mean
that's,
not
exactly
what
should
happen
for
every
single
person.
We
have
to
use
metrics
that
make
sense.
We
have
to
use
metrics
that
we
can
work
with.
F
D
P
E
Z
A
Okay,
we
have
a
motion
and
we
have
a
second
and
miss
schulheim
was
first,
I
didn't
see
you
push
your
button,
you
got
to
push
your
button.
G
Sean,
I
just
have
a
point
of
clarification.
This
goes
back
to
the
previous
comment
I
made
where
and
also
to
last
year,
where
we're
we're
recommending
that
this
to
add
to
the
superintendent's
recommendation,
but
we
should
also
respect
his
purview
of
being
able
to
decide
where
exactly
those
counselors
go,
and
so
I'm
hopeful
for
a
friendly
amendment
just
to
say,
add
six
additional
guidance
counselors.
A
This
recommendation,
I
will
take
your
friendly
amendment.
Miss
hal,
please
strike.
Let's
read
state
I'll
restate
the
amendment
13.
add
six
additional
school
counselors
to
the
superintendent's
recommendation
period.
E
A
S
I'm
going
to
vote
in
a
moment,
but
I
do
want
to
say
that
I
I
think
it
is
entirely
appropriate
for
members
of
the
board
on
matters
that
require
a
majority
of
the
board
to
act
to
make
specific
allocation
suggestions
such
as
in
in
this
context,
including
two
that
are
designated
middle
school.
I
understand
that's
no
longer
part
of
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
for
the
record
that
I
think
that's
completely
appropriate,
especially
because
it's
not
the
kind
of
thing
that's
happening
all
the
time
we
got
to
take
this
in
context.
S
I
It
is
now
11
o'clock,
so
I
just
want
it
or
just
after
so
I
wanted
to
pause
real
quick
before
we
introduce
the
next
amendment
to
check
in
with
everyone
and
see
if
we
feel
like
we
are
going
to
pass
this
budget,
hopefully
before
midnight,
because
last
year
we
were
here
until
2
a.m
and
for
that
reason
we
built
in
an
additional
day
to
resolve
this
budget
if
necessary.
I
So
I
think
at
this
time
I
mean
I
personally
before
we
vote
would
like
to
get
done
this
evening,
but
I
also
hope
that
everyone
is
going
to
move
very.
I
I
don't
want
to
stifle
any
necessary
thoughtful
discussion,
but
I
I
hope
we're
going
to
be
able
to
move
quickly.
I
don't
want
to
keep
staff
till
2
a.m
either.
A
A
As
miss
scholheim
is
nodding
her
head,
then
we
will
need
to
make
a
mo
a
motion
and
a
second
and
go
into
a
vote
as
to
whether
or
not
to
conclude
prior
to
adoption
or
not.
So
I
move
that
we
proceed
until
the
budget
is
adopted,
barring
any
excessive
things
that
may
arise.
That
may
conclude
us
to
need
to
go
to
tomorrow
night.
Second,.
G
I
respectfully
disagree
and
here's
why,
last
year,
at
1
30
in
the
morning,
we
were
a
singular
vote
away
from
adding.
At
that
moment,
it
was
going
to
be
an
additional
10
million
dollars
to
teacher
compensation.
We
all
put
a
lot
of
time
and
effort
and
thought
into
crafting
our
amendments
and
those
discussions
deserve.
G
A
We
will
take
a
pause
after
we
get
through
we're
over
halfway
and
we
don't
have
too
many
more
amendments,
and
so
the
idea
would
be
that
we
would
conclude
tonight
and
the
second
night
was
set
aside
for
weather,
because
remember
we
had
the
weather
event
last
year
and
was
also
if
someone
had
proposed
an
amendment
or
amendments
had
changed,
that
it
required
additional
number
crunching.
A
That
would
require
the
carryover
and
then,
lastly,
is
that
everybody
would
spend
an
hour
talking
about
every
amendment
and
get
us
into
the
two
o'clock
in
the
morning,
which
I
still
don't
think
we
would
be
at
personally.
But
that
is
where
that
is
why
it
was
held
back
over
to
the
20th
to
include
that
as
a
placeholder
date.
Right.
E
A
And
I'm
not
even
sure
that
everybody
will
be
able
to
make
it
so.
Okay,.
A
Yep
she
just
okay.
If
we
don't
have
any
other
comments
here
and
we're
good
with
this
miss
howe.
Please
call
vote
on
a
motion
to
proceed
to
conclusion
of
budget
tonight,
if
at
all
possible.
A
7-2,
okay,
barring
any
extreme
things
we
were
going
to
continue.
If
you
could
read
amendment
number
14,
miss.
A
M
A
We
have
a
motion,
a
second
any
comments
from
members.
Seeing
none
any
comments
from
public.
Seeing
no
motion
in
the
audience
miss
hal,
please
call
roll.
S
A
So
I
I
did
want
to
is
the
author
of
this
just
to
make
one
brief
comment,
and
that
is
that
you
know.
As
as
we
proceed,
I
look
at
at
this
one
and
amendment
16
and
then
coming
up
in
amendment
17
and
18
accordingly,
that
this
is
part
of
what
I
know
will
have
the
greatest
immediate
impact
on
addressing
bullying
hate
bias
and
closing
that
gap.
I
think
of
all
the
positions
in
addition
to
our
teachers.
A
Our
assistant
principals,
are
that
first
line
of
defense
for
bullying.
I
know
that,
from
personal
experience
from
dealing
with
my
some
of
my
children's
past
experiences-
and
so
this
is
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
to
have
the
additional
assistant
principals
and
I
think
it
would
go
a
long
way
also
to
help
further
our
superintendent's
goals
and
missions,
and
I
think
it's
a
modest
amount
that
could
have
a
very
large
impact
as
we
continue
to
get
strived
to
get
assistant
principals
in
every
school.
A
A
So
I'll
just
say
on
this
one
out
of
all
the
things
that
we're
doing
for
all
the
groups
to
make
their
experience
better,
there
was
there's
very
little
being
done
to
address
our
ells
as
it
relates
to
priorities
and
such
and
for
me
this
is
a
very
big
priority.
A
Our
family's
ability
to
continue
to
interact
with
the
staff
with
the
teachers,
combined
with
our
students
abilities
to
interact
as
they
continue
to
integrate
and
become
more
familiar
with.
Our
language
is
very
important,
and
I
believe
missasso
would
be
probably
would
have
scolded
me
for
not
adding
like
quadrupling
the
number,
but
recognizing
that
we
are
in
a
modest
budget
year
and
also
recognizing
that
very
very
few
times.
Our
board
has
an
opportunity
to
support
this
group,
and
this
is
one
way.
I
think
that
we
can
definitely
do
it.
A
People
who
are
challenged
in
our
entire
school
system
that
transcends
many
of
our
other
minority
categories.
So
once
again,
I
would
just
encourage
to
consider
the
exception
to
the
reductions
and
stabilization
of
the
budget
in
this
particular
case,
because
I
think
we're
going
to
get
a
lot
more
bang
for
our
buck.
With
this
allocation.
G
G
Well,
I
mean
if
we're
following
parliamentary
rules,
you
motion
you
second
and
then
you
discuss
so
I
just
thought
I
would
raise
that.
Maybe
at
this
late
hour,
that's
why
that
was
overlooked.
Of
course,
I'm
gonna
support
this,
as
I
have
the
lion's
share
of
the
other
amendments
tonight,.
E
A
I'm
willing
to
accept
that
and
and
second
your
motion
to
bundle,
so
we
are
now
we
are
now
discussing
whether
or
not
to
bundle
these
two
amendments.
Specifically
we're
no
longer
talking
about
the
amendment
17.
We
are
now
on
a
motion
to
bundle
17
and
18..
It
looks
like
we
do
have
some
comments,
mr
granny,
on
the
bundle.
A
S
I'm
happy
for,
for
sake
of
efficiency,
then
I'll
make
both
my
comments
I'll
make.
The
first
comment
is,
I
think,
at
this
point,
talking
about
the
bundling
is
going
to
take
more
time
than
it
actually
saves.
So
I
don't
think
we
should
do
that,
but
I
had
a
substantive
point
on
this
thing
about
the
bilingual
facilitators.
S
Mr
shaknow,
weighing
all
the
same
considerations
that
president
corcodel
very
eloquently
addressed
as
well
as
the
constraints
that
we
have
to
deal
with
in
the
school
system.
How
many
well
as
two
questions,
how
many
additional
bilingual
facilitators
did
dr
alato
request
in
his
budget,
and
how
many
do
we
currently
have.
S
Q
A
Okay,
seeing
no
further
comments.
I
believe
we
have
a
motion
on
the
table,
an
amendment
to
the
amendment
by
miss
antwine,
to
bundle
this
and
and
add
in.
A
Yes,
it
was
yes,
it
was
so
if
you
could,
please
call
roll.
A
Yes,
miss
antoine's,
basically
miss
antoine's
amendment
to
17
was
to
add
18.,
which
everybody
knows.
A
Okay,
so
we
now
have
I'll
restate
the
amendment,
the
the
if
you're,
I'm
sorry
miss
ellis.
Can
you
please
restate
the
amendment
the
the
new
version
of
the
event
as.
I
A
A
Hold
on
hold
on,
let's
get
a
rule
of
order
here.
This
is
pretty
simple.
A
I
agree
with
what
mr
grannon
is
saying
and
we
could
still
proceed
with
amendment
18
as
such,
or
they
could
get
both
reintroduced
separately,
but
right
now
we
do
have
to
follow
through
with
our
roll
call,
and
I
I
hear
what
you're
saying,
mr
graham,
so
you
are
up
for
vote.
A
Okay,
so
that
took
care
of
that
problem.
Okay,
amendment
19.
A
A
O
The
answer
to
that
is
no,
because
the
permanent
subs
would
be
eligible
for
the
suite
of
benefits.
O
No
but
it
but
it's
a
coverage
issue,
I
think
you've
heard
hr
and
the
superintendent
and
others
talk
about
the
the
difficulty
to
get
adequate
sub
coverage,
which
occurs
almost
on
a
on
a
daily
basis
and
is
exasperated
around
you
know,
friday,
mondays,
holidays,
etc.
So
this
is
what
I
think
that
will
help
make
some
inroads
into,
but
it's
not
a
money-saving
strategy.
Okay,.
H
Z
B
A
W
A
G
H
A
Have
a
motion
and
a
second
miss
antwine
or
I'm
sorry,
I
miss
all
the
followed
by
miss
antoine.
It's
solving.
D
All
right
so
as
a
maker
of
the
motion
I'll,
do
my
best
at
this
hour
to
explain
what
my
thought
process
was
so
to
specify.
First,
the
college
and
career
counselor
is
different
than
a
general
counselor.
D
Dr
alado
identified
them
to
be
the
top
three
schools
in
need
of
support,
and
I
think
college
and
career
counseling
is
a
very
positive
way
to
elevate
the
students
who
are
struggling
in
those
schools
and
they
all
three
of
those
schools
also
have
a
high
number
of
minority
students
and,
as
a
nation,
we're
looking
to
elevate
those
students
and
get
them
into
college
and
career
in
you
know
a
sustainable
and
prepared
manner.
So
that's
why
I
propose
this
amendment
and
I
ask
for
support
from
my
colleagues.
E
So
so
my
question
would
be
I
I
I
appreciate
ms
alvi
your
what
you're
doing
here,
but
I
have
a
concern
about
there's
indications
that
there
are
no
college
and
career
counselors
at
those
schools
currently.
D
No,
there
are
currently
no
college
and
career
counselors
they're,
just
general
guidance
counselors
that
also
take
part
in
being
a
college
and
career
counselor.
So
having
a
particular
position,
would
alleviate
the
load
of
the
other
counselors
to
focus
on
things
like
mental
health
and
other
issues
that
occur
with
students
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
E
L
Right
so
we
using
the
term
school
counselor.
The
school
counselor
is
responsible
for
all
of
those
things.
The
school
counselor
is
responsible
for
scheduling
and
making
sure
the
student
has
all
the
rights
taking
all
the
right
classes
so
that
they
can
graduate
with
their
class.
The
school
counselor
is
responsible
for
the
social
emotional
needs
of
their
students.
L
The
school
counselor
is
responsible
for
students
that
may
be
going
off
to
two-year
schools,
four-year
schools
or
going
off
to
the
career
of
the
military,
maybe
having
the
student
have
to
sit
and
take
the
asvab
if
they're
considering
the
military.
So
I
say
all
that
very
purposely
to
answer
your
question.
The
school
counselor
is
responsible
for
all
of
those
things
and
they
are
spending.
L
I
can
tell
you
from
experience
spending
more
and
more
time,
counseling
students
with
regard
to
social,
emotional
needs
and
having
less
time
to
focus
on,
as
ms
alvey
I
think,
is
pointing
out,
rightfully
so,
your
applications
to
colleges
and
making
sure
you're
applying
to
scholarships
and
accessing
naviance,
which
we've
now
purchased
for
all
of
the
high
school
students.
So
it
is
a
really
broad
brush
that
school
counselors
have
to
have
to
undertake.
L
I
think
what
ms
alvey
is
is
offers.
Proffering
here
is
to
have
somebody
identified
and
trained
at
each
of
our
high
schools
along
the
way
that
can
focus
specifically
on
college
crew.
I
don't
think
it
would
take
the
place
of
the
other,
your
school
council,
that's
assigned
to
you,
based
on
your
alphabet,
based
on
your
your
name,
but
it
would
be
an
additional
resource
that
could
focus
specifically
on
those
issues
and
would
not
be
assigned
a
core
group
of
students
based
on
alphabet
that
they
would
be
responsible
for.
Does
that
meet
the
need.
L
Ma'am,
let
me
also
that
this
position
does
not
yet
exist.
We
are
piloting
it.
There
is
no
job
description,
so
we
would
build
a
job
description,
do
hire,
people
do
training
and
again
this
is
a.
I
think
this
is
a
good
way
for
us
to
start.
We
started
at
southern
with
some
private
donations.
A
donor
came
to
us
and
said
they
wanted
to
do
something
sort
of
special
at
southern,
and
we
came
up
with
this
idea
of
us
college
and
career
counselor.
This
might
be
a
nice
way
to
extend
it.
L
I
would
also
add,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
that
this
is
built
into
kerwin
funds.
We
will
see
this
into
the
future
in
the
next
10
years,
we'll
be,
or
the
next
seven
years
be
responsible
for
building
college
career
counselors
through
their
cte
umbrella.
Is
that
correct
required
to
do
so?
Okay,
require
that's
a
better
word
right.
There's.
E
My
last
question
on
that
one:
if,
if
the
county
does
not
support
this,
there's
still
that
need
there
well,
those
will.
Will
we
utilize
the
counselors
that
we
have
on
board
or
their
plans
to
utilize
the
counselors
we
have
on
board
just
to
have
their
jobs
be
specified
in
the
work
that
they
do
be
specified
in
just
college
and
career
counseling.
S
Okay,
I
I'm
inclined
to
support
this.
I
think
that
ms
alvey's
comments
are
particularly
impactful
coming
from
where
she
sits
in
this.
I
do
have
one
question
for
dr
arlatto
and
I
also
want
to
kind
of
footnote
to
me.
This
is
this
is
different
than
some
of
the
other
categories
that
we've
just
voted
on.
S
L
I
can't
I
don't
have
any
metrics
to
share
with
you
from
what
I
what
I
have
is
just
anecdotal
from
talking
with
the
the
previous
principal
that
started
the
program
and
it's
just
anecdotal
the
number
of
students
that
are
coming
in
they.
They
actually
set
aside
a
room
on
the
main
hallway
across
from
the
main
office.
L
That
is,
a
college
and
career
center
for
lack
of
better
terms
at
southern
and
so
they've
put
a
couple
of
computer
terminals
in
there
and
made
and
put
some
comfortable
seating
where
they
can
bring
colleges
in
they're
bringing
in
career
folks
to
do
brown
bag
lunch
sessions
during
lunch
hour
with
the
students
at
southern,
so
they're,
using
it
in
a
in
a
in
a
really
unique,
and
I
think
purposeful
way.
L
But
I
don't
have
any
metrics
to
say
how
many
students
that
college
career
center
person
saw,
which
I
think,
what
you're
getting
at.
How
many
did
they
see
during
the
course
of
the
year?
I
don't
have
that
number,
but
I
certainly
can
can
talk,
because
I
ask
that
they
keep
those
numbers.
I
certainly
can
find
out
so.
S
The
one
follow-up
comment
that
I'll
have-
and
this
is
not
something
that
I'm
going
to
say,
is
a
friendly
amendment
or
anything.
It
doesn't
have
a
fiscal
impact
and
I'm
going
to
support
this
by
the
way
I
have
made
up
my
mind
as
I've
sat
here
and
thought
about
it
and
heard
your
additional
comments.
But
if
this
passes
at
these
three
schools,
this
provides
an
opportunity
for
us
to
try
to
measure
some
specific
benefits
that
come
out
of
it.
S
Even
if
it's
collecting
anecdotal
things
like
somebody
got
a
scholarship
because
they
you
know,
got
help
to
apply
for
something
that
they
never
would
have.
You
know,
so
it's
not
just
students
getting
into
school
where
they
otherwise
wouldn't
have,
but
maybe
getting
scholarships-
and
you
know
stuff
like
that,
so,
okay.
V
Thank
you,
madam
president,
if
I
could
just
echo
what
mr
grannon
said,
certainly
there's
the
college
pathway,
but
then
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
movement
as
it
relates
to
the
apprenticeship
programs
throughout
the
state.
That's
coming
out
of
the
maryland
department
of
labor,
and
I
think
this
just
corresponds
very
well
to
that.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
voting
eye
on
this
one.
E
AB
E
Go
over
once
they
graduate
and
move
into
college
is
that
they
felt
like
they
were
not
adequate
adequately
prepared
for
the
college
experiences
that
they
had
and
I
believe
we
had
that
additional
resource
as
described
it
would
tremendously
help
these
students,
especially
when
it
comes
to
scholarship
applications
and
preparing
them
overall
for
for
their
college
and
career
choices.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Ms
alvi.
A
D
And
just
to
add
to
what
you're
talking
about
that
was
also
a
consideration
when
I
proposed
this
amendment.
That
phenomenon
is
called
the
imposter
syndrome,
and
it's
something
that
some
of
my
friends
have
experienced
so
providing
these
resources
earlier
on
in
high
school
will
help
avoid
them
being
diagnosed
with
that
when
they,
when
they
get
into
college.
A
I
And
1
million
for
the
expansion
of
the
global
community,
citizenship,
curriculum
models
to
the
middle
and
elementary
levels.
Funding
would
be
used
for
introduction
of
curriculum
studies
on
modification
of
the
global
community,
citizenship
course
of
learning
at
the
middle
school
and
elementary
school
level,
materials
and
supplies,
students,
self-exploration
and
collaborative
discussions
of
events,
traditions,
cultures
and
circumstances
that
shape
views,
behaviors
and
individual
goals,
professional
development,
value,
learning
to
streamline
or
eliminate
episodes
of
bullying,
hate
bias
and
discrimination.
E
Thank
you
in
consideration
of
the
late
hour
I
was.
I
will
summarize
my
justification
for
this
every
week
since
about
october,
we
get
an
incident
report
of
hate
and
bias.
We
have
the
most
recent.
E
I
truly
believe
that
a
concept
like
global
citizenship
should
start
early
in
life.
I
believe
that
it
will
will
support
many
of
the
students
in
in
their
decision
making
and
their
in
their
understanding
of
the
world
around
them.
So
aacps
introduced
the
global
citizenship
course
to
our
high
schools,
and
it
has
been
quite
successful.
E
The
work
and
outcomes
of
this
course
placed
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
in
the
grand
position
afforded
to
out
of
the
box
forward
thinking
for
solutions
to
ongoing
problems
plaguing
our
school
system.
This
includes
acts
of
hate
and
violence,
bullying,
racial
insensitivities
and
closed
mindsets.
E
This
amendment
will
expand
these
learning
models
to
our
middle
and
elementary
school
school
students
there.
There
will
need
to
be
additional
research
and
adjustments
to
modify
this
program
to
our
younger
learners.
Still
learning
to
be
a
global
citizen
with
cognitive
awareness
can
be
implemented
very
early
in
a
child's
life.
Such
education
helps
our
students,
make
more
positive
choices
and
prepares
them
to
handle
the
world
around
them.
This
amendment
is
less
than
1.1
percent
of
the
superintendent's
current
budget
recommendation.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
dr
allatto,
but
before
we
get
to
the
other
members,
I
believe
you
had
a
a
point
of
information
you
wanted
to
share
before
we
proceed.
L
I
just
want
to
share
you
believe:
there's
35
students
that
are
pending
up
for
expulsion
right
now.
That
number
is
zero
for
us.
We
do
have.
We
do
have
students
that
are
up
for
extended
suspension,
based
on
the
number
of
things
that
they've
been
involved,
which
I
think
you're
referring
to,
but
right
now
there
are
none
that
are
up
for
expulsion.
A
Okay,
let's
proceed:
we
have
miss
alvey,
miss
ellis
and
mr
grant
and
miss
halvey.
D
So
while
I
agree
with
the
intent
of
this
amendment,
I'm
a
little
hesitant
to
support
it
only
because
I'm
not
sure
that
the
global
community
citizenship
course
is
applicable
at
the
middle
and
elementary
school
level,
and
I
know
that
from
my
school
visits
and
from
speaking
to
staff,
we
are
working
on
implementing
other
strategies
to
create
those
community
environments
at
the
middle
and
elementary
level.
So
by
eliminating
limiting
the
amendment
to
global
community
citizenship,
it
limits
the
overall
intent
of
the
motion
to
say
that
very
similar
structures,
or
almost
exact
structures
should
be
implemented.
D
A
Thank
you,
ms
ellis.
I
Thank
you.
So
I
went
on
some
school
visits
recently
and
I
I
this
really
struck
me.
It
happened
in
the
same
day.
I
believe
I
was
with
dr
arlatto
and
we
visited
arundel
high
school.
I
was
able
to
see
part
of
their
sit-in
on
part
of
their
gcc
class
and
later
that
day
we
went,
I
want
to
say
it
was.
I
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
four
seasons
or
watch
out
all
that
day,
while
chapel
and
interestingly
in
the
in
the
class
at
arundel,
they
were
doing
a
lesson
or
a
discussion
on
students
making
a
difference
in
society,
whether
it
be
their
local
community
or
or
something
greater.
They
were
doing
that
same
lesson.
I
It
was
fascinating
actually
in
in
the
elementary
classroom.
I
believe.
Maybe
it
was
fourth
grade,
and
so
the
point
I
want
to
make
is
while
I
agree,
we
can't
structure
a
class
that
is
identical
to
gcc
into
elementary
school.
I
I
don't
know
about
middle
school,
probably
not
quite
yet,
but
I
I
agree
that
we
need
to
tackle
these
issues
in
elementary
school
and
middle
school.
100
percent
agree,
but
I
I
think
that
can
be
done.
I
Maybe,
with
a
little
training
of
if
it's
not
going
on
in
all
of
our
classrooms,
but
I
I
don't
think
it
needs
additional
staff
or
you
know
it
just
needs
to
happen
in
the
classrooms
as
it's
as
I
saw
it
happening
now.
S
Yeah,
this
is
a
question
for
dr
alato
or
any
anyone
that
he
delegates
this
question
to
for
elementary
school
students.
If
such
a
course
were
created,
what
would
that
displace
that
they
already
have
as
part
of
their
curriculum.
L
So,
thank
you
for
the
question.
That's
a
great
question.
I
haven't
really
thought
very
deeply.
I'm
really
sort
of
hearing
about
this
amendment
now.
What
we're
talking
about
the
elementary
level
is
time
so
as
opposed
to
at
the
high
school
level
or
middle
school
level.
It
replaces
a
specific
course
would
it
take
the
place
of
english
or
history
or
pe
at
the
elementary
level?
It's
really
about
time.
So,
there's
time
set
aside
for
math,
there's
time
set
aside
for
movement,
there's
time
set
aside
for
reading
and
english
language,
arts
and
the
like.
L
So
you,
if,
if
the
idea
were
to
have
to
be
delivering
a
course
developmentally
appropriate
gcc
course,
the
elementary
level
without
changing
the
structure,
while
changing
the
start
and
end
times
of
the
you
know,
without
extending
the
day
in
the
elementary
level,
you'd
be
taking
time
from
something
else.
L
L
There
is
second
step:
we've
we've
implemented,
second
step
in
many
of
the
elementary
schools,
and
that
will
be
extended
to
all
the
elementary
schools
and
all
the
middle
schools
next
year,
and
second
step
is
a
program
that
focuses
on
building
social,
emotional
skills
of
students,
building
empathy,
building
problem
solving
skills,
and
so
we
are
implementing
that's
all
very
developmentally
appropriate
at
the
age.
So
the
second
step
is
delivered.
There's
a
second
grade
curriculum
a
third
grade
curriculum
a
fourth
grade
curriculum
and
so
on.
L
Next
year
we
have
counseling
groups
that
are
going
on
the
middle
schools
have
their
have
advisory
and
we've
built
advisory
lessons
around
many
of
these
things
that
I
think
that
miss
antwine
is
is
talking
about
and
getting
to
that
you
would
see
in
gcc
without
a
course
that's
being
done
at
the
advisory
level
and
we'll
now
be
adding
second
step
to
that.
So
that's
just
food
for
thought.
As
you
as
you
contemplate
this
amendment,.
G
I
I
definitely
applaud
the
spirit
of
this
amendment.
I
have
a
question,
though,
maybe
it's
just
the
late
hour.
Maybe
I
didn't
hear
correctly,
but
certainly
you
know
this
list
has
been
growing
of
amendments
over
time
over
days
and
available
to
to
to
to
members
to
add
stuff,
and
so
none
of
this
should
be
a
surprise,
because
this
was
all
sort
of
compiled
over
time
and
this
particular
one
has
been
in
there
for
a
little
while.
G
So
I
thought
I
heard
that
people
were
just
seeing
this
for
the
first
time
and
that's
just
not
the
case
because
it's
been
it's
been
in
the
list,
so.
L
If
I
can
answer
so,
I've
said
that
now
twice
so
my
meaning
by
that
is
I'm
si.
Well,
I
have
seen
it
in
writing.
I've
had
no
expo.
I've
had
no
conversations
with
board
members
about
their
amendments,
so
I've
not
been
able
to
tease
out
a
purpose
or
a
reason
so
that
I
could
then
give
any
kind
of
recommendation.
So
that's
my
point.
While
I
saw
it
in
writing
beginning
last
friday,
it
was
sent
to
me
while
I
was
away
and
I
was
able
to
review
it
with
staff
this
past.
L
This
morning
we
went
through
it
as
a
staff
as
a
team.
My
point
being
that
without
I,
I've
not
had
to
I've
not
been
able
to
get
the
nuanced
pieces
from
individual
board
members
about
their
individual
men's
because
they've
not
had
those
conversations
with
me.
Thank
you.
G
A
Okay,
I'm
going
to
I
I
don't
have
a
button,
but
I
will
I
just
want
to
make
a
a
point,
a
very
brief
one
that
I
I
applaud,
miss
antoine's
idea
of
expansion
of
it
and
have
thought
of
it
myself.
I
go
back,
however,
to
and
I
actually
went
back
when
I
saw
this
amendment
come
in.
A
I
actually
reviewed
the
video
of
the
original
presentation
of
the
course
and,
as
others
have
indicated,
and
inquired
and
received
answers
to
my
understanding,
I
believe,
is
affirmed
that
the
integration
of
the
concepts
to
bring
a
person
to
by
the
time
they
get
to
the
gcc
course
in
the
ninth
grade,
there's
there's
no
new
new
there
per
se,
it's
putting
it
in
the
bundle
for
age-appropriateness
because
they
will
have
received
exposure
from
these.
My
personal
experience
is
having
deployed
similar
and
substance
abuse
programs
in
the
school
and
watching
them
expand.
A
I
just
remember
some
very
good
advice
from
our
on
the
substance
abuse
from
our
nurses,
team
and
and
some
of
the
others
in
dr
alato's
team,
and
going
through
that
a
few
years
back,
and
that
was
that,
although
I
was
not
the
main
person
on
it
in
in
those
discussions,
was
to
give
everybody
a
chance
to
work
with
what
they
have,
so
that
they
can
flush
out
the
best
opportunities.
A
So
I
I
guess
I
would
not
be
inclined
to
expand
the
services
through
dollar
value,
but
rather
continue
to
encourage
and
if
the
dollars
are
needed
or
the
other
resources
are
needed
and
we
cannot
find
ways
of
adjusting
ourselves
in-house.
I
would
be
willing
to
support,
but
at
this
moment
in
time
not
seeing
any
requests
come
in
staff
and
recognizing
how
new
we
are
in
in
the
pilot,
at
the
at
the
high
school
and
and
and
right
along
even
on
back
to
school
day,
miss
ellis.
A
A
So
I
think
we're
going
to
be
taking
great
strides
in
this,
but
knowing
those
matrixes
are
going
to
take,
there's
nothing
that
you
can
replace
that
time
cannot
provide
and
when
we're
talking
about
outcomes,
that
is
truly.
What
we
will
have
to
do,
as
painful
as
it
is,
is
to
wait
and
see
for
some
of
the
outcomes
make
the
adjustments,
and
so
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
in
support
of
of
all
of
these
programs.
A
I
don't
feel
at
this
moment
in
time
comfortable,
adding
the
dollar
value,
as
I
said
when
the
entire
program
to
date
has
has
not
had
had
a
fiscal
impact
to
this
level
and
has
been
handled
in-house.
E
Thank
you
and
thank
you
all
all
of
the
board
members
and
dr
lotto
for
your
comments
on
this.
The
first
sentence
says
that
we're
going
to
introduce
those
curriculum
models.
We
have
real
concerns
and
troubles
in
our
school
systems.
E
We
have
several
initiatives,
such
as
the
closing
the
opportunity
gap
initiative,
the
gun,
violence
initiative
that
executive
pittman
has
put
into
place
that
had
recommendations
for
us,
similar
to
what
what
I'm
saying
here.
We
also
have
state
recommendations
on
how
to
educate
our
students
to
be
better
in
their
choices
as
a
quote:
unquote:
global
citizen.
A
Z
Hello
again,
india,
oaks,
hillsmair
elementary
school
and
board
of
education
candidate,
I
would
say
I
am
in
full
support
of
incorporating
the
global
community
citizenship
course
throughout
all
schools,
but
even
that
does
not
do
justice
and
saying
just
how
much.
I
believe
we
need
these
kinds
of
classes
at
the
earliest
point
possible
with
our
children,
and
I
believe
it
should
be
a
specific
amendment
to
ensure
this
equally
implemented
in
all
schools.
Z
A
Miss
oaks
I'll
just
say
that
jack
mayne,
the
jack
may
very
well
be
one
of
our
very
next
leaders
that
may
be
standing
side
by
side
with
some
of
the
greats
like
mr
mr
dr
king
was
so
you've
got
a
very
wise
wise
in
in
thought
young
man
with
you.
So
thank
you
very
much.
I
Can
I
ask,
I
don't
know
this
might
be
a
question
for
dr
alato
or
maybe
just
the
board
in
general,
but
if
we
wanted
something
in
the
curriculum,
let's
say
for
elementary
school,
like
cursive
or
or
issues
surrounding
global
citizenship,
and
so
we
asked
for
that
to
be
developed
in
the
curriculum.
That
could
be
a
a
board
motion.
That
is
not
a
it's.
Not
a
budget
motion
correct.
L
Without
knowing
without
knowing
too
much
the
answer
is
yes,
and
no
I
mean
if
it's
depending
on
what
is
offered,
it
could
have
budget
implications
if
there's
something
that
we
need
to
purchase
a
curriculum
or
do
training
professional
development,
those
kinds
of
things
that
could
have
a
cost,
but
otherwise
no
it's
a
matter
of
us
writing
the
curriculum
to
whatever
it
is
handwriting
or
bullying
or
whatever
it
might
be,
and
then
implementing
it,
training,
doing
training
with
the
teachers
and
then
implementing
in
the
curriculum.
I
Okay,
I'm
thinking
along
the
lines
of
like
when
a
couple
weeks
ago
we
had
a
presentation
on
additional
or
new
classes
and
we
voted
on
them.
I
mean
that
wasn't
we
didn't
consider
that
in
the
budget
process
you
guys
are
working
on
curriculum
all
the
time.
E
E
E
The
reason
I
put
the
number
that
we
did
was
based
on
numbers
of
my
research
that
it
has
caused
others
to
to
combat
some
of
what
is
going
on
in
our
system
and-
and
so
one
million
actually
is
a
very
short,
a
very
small
number
compared
to
the
negative
outcomes
and
the
cost
to
us
later.
If
we
don't
address
this
upfront
and
early,
thank
you.
A
I
Amendment
22
add
one
million
dollars
for
the
expansion
of
the
global
community;
citizenship,
curriculum
models
to
the
middle
and
elementary
levels.
Funding
would
be
used
for
introduction
of
curriculum
studies
on
modification
of
the
global
community,
citizenship
course
of
learning
at
the
middle
school
and
elementary
school
levels,
materials
and
supplies.
F
Nay,
I
understand
the
spirit
of
this,
but
we've
all
we've
heard
again
and
again
from
staff
here
in
presentations.
We've
seen
it
in
the
classrooms.
Many
of
these
things
are
already
being
implemented
in
our
pre-k
and
up
classes.
We
see
community
circles
and
things
everywhere.
Dr
alata
just
shared
that
the
second
step
program
that
specifically
designed
to
address
many
of
these
areas
is
going
to
be
implemented
throughout
the
middle
and
elementary
schools
next
year,
and
so
I
think
many
of
this
is
already
happening.
F
I
Number
23
initiate
annual
funding
to
gaussian
farm
for
equipment,
equipment,
storage,
fuel
and
funding
for
equipment,
repairs
to
maintain
the
grounds
leased
by
gaussian
farm
preservation.
Society,
as
well
as
the
access
road
needed
to
safely
allow
aacps
students
and
faculty
to
attend
educational
support.
Programs
requested
by
the
faculty
impact
increases
operating
budget
recommendation
by
twenty
thousand
dollars.
G
G
So
what
I
think
I'm
going
to
do
is
just
read
a
letter
we
received
from
goshen
farms,
preservation
society
back
on
january,
27
2020..
This
was
delivered
to,
I
believe,
all
of
us,
yes,
and
also-
maybe
well
perhaps
also
dr
aletta,
though
I'm
not
entirely
sure.
So
here
we
go.
This
one
was
addressed
to
mrs
corcodale,
dear
mrs
corcodel.
G
The
purpose
of
this
letter
is
to
seek
your
support
for
the
inclusion
of
the
goshen
farm
preservation
society
in
the
board
of
education,
the
annual
board
of
education's
annual
budget,
the
society
requests
twenty
thousand
dollars
annually
to
be
paid
to
the
society
for
the
equipment.
The
storage
required
for
the
equipment,
the
fuel
for
the
equipment
and
repairs
to
the
equipment
needed
to
maintain
the
grounds
leased
by
the
society
and
the
access
road
needed
to
safely
allow
aacps
students
and
faculty
to
attend
educational
programs
requested
by
the
faculty.
G
This
has
been
something
that
neither
the
society
nor
the
board
of
education
envisioned
when
the
lease
was
signed
almost
10
years
ago,
the
historic
ocean
farm
and
educational
center
has
become
the
extension
of
dozens
of
classrooms
throughout
anne
arundel
county
public
schools.
The
society
has
dedicated
a
significant
portion
of
twenty
thousand
volunteer
hours
over
the
past
five
years
to
educational
program.
Support
this
educational
support
has
not
been
without
costs.
The
society
considers
its
request
for
funds
to
maintain
the
lease
property
and
access
road,
a
bargain
for
the
expanded
educational
opportunities.
G
Now
I
realize
that
I'm
probably
that
others
might
speak
to
the
fact
that
the
current
contract
states
that
that
goshen
farms
is
responsible
for
maintaining
the
property.
But
I
will
also
add
that
when
the
lease
was
struck
10
years
ago,
no
one,
no
one
envisioned
tons
of
programs
tons
of
educational
programs,
opportunities
for
for
our
students,
opportunities
from
some
special
needs.
Children
and
just
the
expansion
and.
G
The
all
the
wonderful
things
that
go
on
at
goshen
farms,
I've
I've
visited
there,
like
I
said
with
some
colleagues,
some
of
these
educational
opportunities
arose
just
by
the
mere
presence
of
that
that
wonderful
historic
site
in
our
county,
a
pva
student,
did
a
historical
reenactment.
There's
been
lots
of
eagle
scout
projects,
broadneck
high
school
students
from
the
enclave
program,
learning
basic
job
skills
and
the
list
goes
on
and
on
and
on.
G
We
have
each
of
us
received
a
45
page
report
on
their
efforts,
and
so
this
is
a
drop
in
the
bucket.
I
realize
that
they
need
to
re-up
their
their
their
lease
and
their
contract
with
us.
I
realize
that
that's
coming
up
in
a
few
months,
this
once
again
will
help
them
direct
the
resources
that
they've
been
able
to
raise
over
a
year's
time
to
stabilizing
that
building
that
building
that
was
created
that
was
built
in
1798.
G
That's
a
historic
treasure
treasure
and,
like
I
said
when
that
building
crumbles
to
the
ground
as
we're
currently
letting
it
do,
then
it's
just
a
pretty
piece
of
land.
So
I
hope
that
we're
going
to
consider
this.
I
encourage
my
colleagues
to
vote
for
it,
especially
in
light
of
the
fact
that
this
contract
renegotiation
is
forthcoming.
This
was
an
official
letter
sent
from
the
president
of
the
goshen
farms
preservation
society
to
all
of
us,
requesting
in
writing
that
we
consider
this.
G
F
Miss
hummer,
mr
shaknovich,
when
is
the
lease
for
goshen
farm
up
to
be
renegotiated.
F
A
Okay,
seeing
no
more
comments
from
board
members
any
testimony
seeing
no
motion
in
the
audience
miss
ellis,
please
re-read
prior
to
roll
call.
I
Amendment
23
initiate
annual
funding
to
gaussian
farm
for
equipment,
equipment,
storage,
fuel
and
funding
for
equipment,
repairs
to
maintain
the
grounds
leased
by
the
gaussian
farm
preservation.
Society,
as
well
as
the
access
road
needed
to
safely
allow
aacps
students
and
faculty
to
attend
educational
support
programs
requested
by
faculty.
I
I'm
sorry
I
have
to
make
a
quick
statement.
I
I
supported
the
previous
amendment
for
this
effort
because
I'm
very
concerned
about
the
building
on
that
land,
but
with
the
contract
coming
up,
I
I
I'm
gonna,
say
nay
and
I
look
forward
to
revisiting
that.
M
Mr
granin
I'll.
S
Say
may
and
also
echo
that
the
upcoming
contract
negotiation
is
just
a
couple
months.
E
V
G
So,
in
the
name
of
transparency,
I
definitely
want
this
to
occur.
I'm
a
little
confused
on
the
price,
because
you
know
my
demographic
and
myself
included-
are
kind
of
addicted
to
facebook
and
know
that
facebook
live
exists.
You
just
hit
your
button
and
proof
away.
You
go
so
I
wonder
a
little
bit
about
the
price,
so
I
I
hope
that
we
consider
being
innovative
in
that
sense
and
using
things
that
are
without
cost
out
there.
X
G
Of
course
I
want
this
to
occur,
you
know
we
have.
We've
had
some
workshops
and
some
and
some
hearings
off
site,
and
I
and
I
get
asked
every
single
time-
are
these
being
streamed,
so
I
can
watch
them
from
the
comfort
of
my
couch
instead
of
going
down
there.
So
it's
just
something
I
think
we
should
consider.
I
think,
though
we
should.
AC
So
thanks
for
the
record
bob
moser
chief
communications
officer,
I
would
urge
you
not
to
reduce
the
amount
in
this
budget
in
this
amendment.
It
includes
a
position
that
we
we
are
we
more
than
need
our
our
tv
production
people.
I
would
put
up
against
anybody
in
this
state
school
systems,
municipalities,
anything
we
have
have
worked
very
hard
to
maintain
and
create
a
level
of
quality
that
we
have.
We
can
set
up
a
tripod
and
an
ipad,
and
do
it
that
way.
You
can
certainly
do
that.
AC
That's
not
the
standard
that
we
have
here
and
so,
and
our
folks
are
more
than
stretched.
We,
in
addition
to
the
programming
for
a
24
7
tv
channel
in
the
last
two
years,
we've
produced
more
than
150
off
air
things
for
curriculum
for
many
other
things,
but
it's
a
position
that
we
desperately
need,
and
we
can't
do
without
it.
G
L
Have
your
support
on
that,
so
you
so
the
answer
is
no
and
yes,.
B
L
The
answer
is
known
yes
and
that
I
had
not.
We
have.
This
has
been
an
ongoing
issue
and
the
team
has
stretched
they're
here,
late
watch
watching
you
have
other
people
watch
them
yes,
and
so
it's
something
we've
talked
about,
but
I
did
not
put
it
in
the
budget.
We
did
not
put
it
in
the
budget,
so
it
was
no.
You
sort
of
gave
us
an
avenue
with
this
amendment.
For
us
to
say
we
could
do
something
with
this.
L
We
weren't
thinking
about
live
streaming
because
of
I
mean
in
terms
of
facebooking,
because
we
could
put
an
ipad
on
a
tripod
and
you
could
facetime
all
day
long
if
that's
to
your
heart's
content,
but
this
created
an
opening.
So
there's
the
yes
part
create
an
opening
for
us
to
say:
okay.
Well,
maybe
if
this
is
something
the
board
is
interested
in,
it
was
a
discussion,
I'm
assuming
at
the
budget
committee
that
we
could
find
a
way
to
add
to
the
staff.
G
Great
well,
I'm
all
about
it,
and
I
do
want
to
say
that
the
the
level
of
professionalism
and
the
quality
of
what
we
put
out
has
not
gone
unnoticed
to
to
me
as
a
as
a
board
member
and
as
a
parent
as
a
member
of
this
community,
and
so
I
am
grateful
for
for
the
quality
that
they
put
out.
So
I
hadn't
thought
about.
In
that
way,
I
was
a
little
confused.
I
am
no
longer
confused
and
yes,
of
course,
this
was
my
amendment
and
of
course,
I'm
going
to
vote
yes
on
it.
E
Thank
you.
So
I
would
like
to
offer
a
friendly
amendment
to
the
amendment
where
it
works
says
all
future
board
of
education,
hearings
and
workshops.
Can
we
expand
that
to
say
all
future
board
of
education,
public
meetings,
hearings
and
workshops.
E
H
A
I,
but
some
than
to
make
mr
mosher.
I
AC
We
have
we
have
someone
that
we're
using
on
contract
now,
okay,
and
so
we
would
convert
that.
AC
There
there's
somewhat
of
a
savings,
but
remember
our
our
folk.
We
would
still.
We
would
still
need
that
that
person
or
the
it's
the
same
job
right.
So
we
would
convert
the
position.
We
would
still
need
the
contract
dollars
because
our
folks
are
just
stretched
too
thin
right
now,
as
it
is
to
be
perfectly
honest
with
you,
so
there's
not
a
direct
offset.
If
that's
your
question.
A
I
F
A
Corcodale,
this
is
one
of
one
of
the
top
topics
that
I
hear
on
in
interest
of
transparency
and
is
in
my
wild
house
of
that
philosophy.
So
I,
although
I
I
have
some
agreement
with
miss
ellis's
concept
of
the
fts.
A
I
25
add
573
375
to
allow
all
high
schools
and
middle
schools
to
have
an
activity
bus
once
per
week,
increase
operating
budget
recommendation
by
five
hundred
seventy
three
thousand
five
hundred
seventy
thousand
three
hundred
seventy
five
dollars.
A
Okay,
I
don't
know
miss
antoine
misalvi.
This
is
yours.
Okay,
this
is
your
amendment.
Okay,
got
you
sorry,
I
I
don't
have
the
names
here.
Miss
aldi.
D
So
I'm
gonna
do
my
best
to
explain
again
at
this
hour,
but
the
purpose
of
this
amendment
was
to
first
off
consider
the
extensive
conversations
that
we've
had
about
transportation
on
this
diocese
and
I
think
we
want
to
as
a
body
always
apply
the
goal
of
equity
to
what
we
do
and
I
think
the
activity
bus
is
a
simple
and
easy
way
to
allow
access
to
students
who
don't
have
access
to
transportation
to
participate
in
after
school
activities-
and
I
know
this
says
only
once
per
week
and
although
ideally,
I
would
love
to
provide
all
of
our
students
with
activity
buses
which
are
after
school
transportation
all
days
of
the
week.
D
Providing
that
activity
bus
would
give
them
that
opportunity,
and
also
for
students
who
play
sports,
even
if
you
have
practice
five
days
a
week
that
one
day
of
the
week,
your
parents,
your
older
sibling,
does
not
have
to
take
the
responsibility
of
you
going
of
you
being
picked
up
from
that
activity.
So
I
think
it
alleviates
some
of
the
stresses
for
our
families
and
also
provides
a
huge
opportunity
academically
for
our
students
to
get
support
in
the
after
school
hours.
E
L
H
L
O
At
the
high
school
level,
because
the
way
it's
worded
is
once
per
week,
the
middle
schools
already
have
had.
We
already
provide
middle
schools
with
sufficient
funding
to
do
it
twice
a
week.
Some
of
them
don't
always
avail
themselves
of
that,
but
we
give
the
middle
schools
enough
funding
to
do
twice
a
week
already.
So
this
amount
only
addresses
the
high
school
component
because
the
middle
schools
were
already
covered.
Yes,
ma'am.
E
E
O
E
E
Good,
so
I
I
miss
alvi,
I
I'm
in
strong
support
of
what
you're
saying
in
district
1.
Many
of
our
students
are
choosing
not
to
do
enrichment
programs
after
school
programs,
other
extra
curricular
activities,
clubs
and
otherwise,
simply
because
they
don't
have
a
way
home.
B
G
G
A
Is
this
a
budget
motion
or
a
general
motion,
because
it
really
it
it's
not
dealing
with
the
budget,
it
would
not
be
an
amendment
to
her.
Amendment
would
have
to
be
a
separate
emotion
amendment
after
we
have
dispelled
of
hers
and
and
the
remainder
of
the
amendment,
because
it's
not
germaine
to
it.
What.
G
Yeah
yeah,
I
I
I
would,
but
I
I
have
another
sort
of
there's
another
piece
to
that,
so
I
I
am
tempted
to
support
this
because
I
believe
in
equity.
I
understand
the
argument,
especially
in
this
county,
where
it's
not
all
that
walkable.
You
know:
there's
lots
of
construction,
there's
windy
roads
with
no
shoulder
and
no
sidewalks.
So
I
I
get
all
of
that.
G
I
have
a
question
about
you
know
we
have
a.
We
have
a
workshop
coming
up
to
talk
about
transportation.
We
have
179
page
report
in
my
bag
from
prismatic
that
talks
about
inefficiencies,
and
I
wonder
some
a
little.
I'm
con
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
cost,
because
I
think
if
we
tighten
our
ship
up
with
these
other
bits
and
bobs
that
were
presented
in
the
prismatic
report,
maybe
this
money
wouldn't
be
needed.
G
You
know
like
so
I'm
tempted
to
support
it
with
the,
with
the
caveat
that
that,
if
we
don't
need
that
money
as
a
result
of
what's
going
to
happen
later
this
spring,
with
the
transportation
workshop
and
almost
certainly
motions
coming
out
of
that
that
that
I
don't
even
know
where
to
I
don't
even
know
where
we
would
put
that
money.
But
I
just
want
to
make
us
all
aware
of
that
and
see.
G
This
is
exactly
why
I
wanted
to
stop
an
hour
and
a
half
ago,
because
I
can't
put
together
a
sentence,
so
I
just
want
us
to
be
cognizant
of
that.
D
D
That's
okay
with
ms
corker,
I
had
a
question
for
mr
shaknovich.
If
that
is,
let's
say,
changes
are
to
occur
after
we
take
part
in
this
workshop
worst
case
scenario.
O
I
just
want
to
understand
it
if
it
passes.
It's
part
of
your
official
request
you,
the
board,
would
have
to
vote
to
amend
their
budget
at
some
subsequent
date
to
remove
this
from
your
official
request,
the
the
by
county
charter,
the
board's
budget
has
to
be
delivered
to
the
county
executive
no
later
than
march
1..
If
this
has
passed,
it
will
be
in
there
as
of
march
1,
because
we
have
to
comply
with
the
law.
O
D
So
I
understand
concern,
but
to
me
this
is
really
important,
so
I
want
my
mended
amendment
to
stand
as
is,
and
I'm
welcome
to
considering
other
solutions
when
we
do
have
this
conversation
at
the
workshop,
but
I
only
get
one
year
here.
This
is
my
one
budget
meeting
ever
so.
This
is
really
important
to
me
and
I
want
to
hopefully
have
this
considered
and
passed.
A
Something
tells
me
you
would
be
making
friends
with
the
council
if
you're
proposing
to
go
in
and
amend
to
a
reduction
between
now
and
and
their
time.
We
have
miss
ellis
and
miss
hummer,
and
I
can't
remember
which
order
so
I'll
just
apologize.
If
I
get
it
wrong,
miss
ellis.
I
Thank
you.
So
every
middle
school
has
access
basically
to
two
twice
a
week:
activity
buses.
You
said
they
don't
all
use
that.
Do
you
know.
I
I
Okay,
because
I'm
I'm
addressing
the
equity
issue,
that
is
what
this
was
framed
around,
so
I'm
trying
to
understand.
So
if,
if
all
the
middle
schools
were
to
use
them,
it
wouldn't
change
this
number.
Okay
and
then
you
said
some
of
our
high
schools
have
activity
buses
and
how
is
that
determined
that
some
of
them
do.
O
I
I
just
don't
think
that's
a
big
big
price
for
the
benefit
it
provides.
I
don't
know
if
you'd
accept
a
friendly
amendment
or
if
you
want
to
stick
with
once
a
week.
We've
got
our
middle
schools
that
have
the
opportunity
to
have
the
buses
twice
a
week,
and
I
know
high
school
a
lot
of
activities
like
dance
company
or
certain
sports
and
clubs.
I
You
know
students
would
be
able
to
accomplish
that
once
a
week
can
be
challenging
to
participate
in
activities.
Just
a
thought.
D
So
I'm
going
to
reject
that
amendment
only
considering
that
we
also
requested
for
a
lot
of
other
things,
so
just
to
make
sure
that
in
my
eyes,
the
priorities
are
in
line
that
this
is
a
good
first
step
in
addressing
that
inequity.
F
Mr
shaknovich,
realistically
I
know
from
my
time
one
of
my
boys
time
in
high
school.
There
were
funds
there
for
an
activity
bus.
They
were
not
able
to
get
a
bus.
There
were
not
buses
available,
they
weren't
able
to
find
a
contractor,
even
though
they
had
the
funds
and
the
will
and
the
want
to
do
it.
F
O
You
know,
given
the
current
structure
of
our
tiered
system,
these
activity
buses
would
likely
be
running
at
the
time
that
the
demand
for
high
school
activity,
buses
will
probably
coincide
when
we're
still
delivering
elementary
and
middle
school
students
home
in
the
afternoon.
So
there
naturally
would
be
some
competition
and
conflict
for
that
until
we
get
there.
I
don't
know,
but
I
would
be
concerned
again
because
of
the
overlap
of
of
the
high
school
afternoon.
Activity
runs
juxtaposed
to
elementary
and
middle.
We
already
provide,
for
example,
through
mr
colt's
office.
A
I
A
Sorry,
my
apologies
you're
right
michelle
heim
there
was.
We
have
a
a
tandem
motion
to.
G
Right
because
it
fits
in
with
okay
fits
in
with
the
the
the
inequity
piece,
so
some
of
our
schools
have
panther
hour
and
brew
and
block
some
of
our
schools.
Do
not
so.
My
my
motion
is
that
all
schools
adopt
that
model
so
that
some
of
the
tutoring
and
the
meeting
of
clubs
can
occur
during
the
school
day.
A
D
D
The
only
reason
that
I
would
ask
that
we
hold
off
on
this
motion
is
because
this
is
also
a
conversation
that
has
taken
place
at
the
superintendent's
teen
advisory
and
chesapeake
science
point
counts
as
one
of
our
high
schools,
but
because
it
is
a
charter
school.
There
are
some
implications
in
implementing
that
one
hour
period
during
the
day.
So
I
would
be
hesitant
to
vote
on
this
motion
without
having
accurate
information
on
which
schools
have
the
panther
hour.
What
how
they're
working,
how
it
impacts
grades
and
some
more
statistical
information
in
logistics.
G
A
Of
a
second
on
the
amended
okay,
we
have
a
second
okay,
miss
hummer,
miss
antoine
and
mr
grannon.
Miss
hummer.
F
I'm
gonna
echo
miss
alvey
that
I
think
this
is
certainly
something
worthy
of
discussion
and
I'd
love
to
hear
more
about
what
different
schools
are
implementing
and
what
they're
in
place,
but
at
12
30
at
night.
When
we're
discussing
the
budget,
I
don't
think
we
have
all
the
information
that
would
that
could
to
make
a
a
an
informed
decision.
I
would
actually
instead
request
that
dr
arlatto
ask
that
his
team
do
a
presentation
for
us
about
what
kind
of
different
plans
are
available
in
our
middle
schools
and
high
schools
and
getting
some
feedback.
F
E
I
I
believe
the
motion
is
to
implement
it.
It
didn't
give
a
time
frame,
and
so
so
I
bel
so
with
that.
We
can
still
request
of
dr
alato
that
he
brings
the
same
presentation,
so
we
can
shape
the
time
frame
for
that,
but
enrichment
opportunities
like
this
for
our
students,
especially
at
at
what
has
been
described
as
as
the
challenge
schools,
it's
necessary-
that
they
have
that.
That,
and
I
I
agree
with
the
motion.
S
Thank
you
largely
for
the
reasons
stated
by
ms
hummer,
which
I
independently
was
sitting
here.
Thinking
myself,
I
I
think
we
should
do
this
with
some
more
information
and
to
give
students
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
with
public
testimony
on
this
as
to
how
much
they
love
it
or
don't
love
it,
and
I
guess
I
would
in
particular
you
know
what
these
are
schools
we're
talking
about.
These
are
public
institutions
and
I'm
sure
there's
a
reason
why
mr
shaknovich
was
circumspect,
but
for
us
to
make
a
fully
informed
decision.
S
I
I
think
we
need
a
little
bit
more
information
that
principles
discretion.
So
I
I
think
we
need
to
get
more
information
about
this.
So
I
move
the
table
this
just
one
meeting
to
the
next
meeting
where
we
can
get
some
or
if
people
are
concerned,
we
can
do
it
the
next
night
meeting,
so
students
can
come
and
talk
about
this.
Okay,
I'm
seeing
some
knotting
hands.
S
A
Second,
we
have
a
motion
to
to
hold
that
does
supersede
the
existing
motion
debate.
So
with
that
in
mind,
I
cannot
remember
if
it's
debatable
or
not
give
me
a
second
folks.
This
is
the
late
hour.
One.
A
I
I
have
to
make
a
statement-
I
am
the
hugest
proponent
of
this
with
my
high
school
students,
but
I'm
all
for
more
information,
so
I'll,
say
aye.
Mr
grannon
aye.
G
A
Point
point
of
order:
that
was
a
motion
that
was
granted
and
adopted,
and
no
further
comment
on
the
motion
to
proceed
shall
be
entertained.
Miss
shawheim
please
proceed.
G
E
Antwine
so
a
point
of
clarification
we
are
going
to
on
march.
I
think
19th,
I
think,
that's
the
date
18th
to
19th.
We
are
going
to
have
a
presentation
from
the
superintendent
and
his
staff
on
these.
E
I
S
S
Anyway,
so
if
I
can
try
to
muster
some
articulate
thoughts
about
this,
I
want
to
explain
why
the
the
wording
is
like
it
is
for
full
and
total
transparency.
This
motion
evolved
over
time
as
I
got
information,
so
basically,
my
kids
are
in
elementary
school,
so
I
don't
necessarily
have
a
lot
of
first-hand
experience
with
you
know
the
the
magnet
programs
in
particular
stem,
so
it
was
going
on
school
tours
that
I
I
learned
about
them
and
and
got
first-hand
kind
of
exposure
to
them.
S
In
fact,
I
think
you
were
on
one
of
the
same
school
tours
with
me,
where
we
saw
the
the
stem
programs
at
central,
middle
and
south
river,
and
so
learning
more
about
them
and
talking
to
the
principals
in
particular
those
two
schools.
I
learned
about
the
mechanics
of
at
least
how
the
stem
program
works
and
how
admission
to
it
works
and
how
there
are
more
students
seeking
admission
than
we
have
seats.
S
I
also
learned
some
of
the
statistics
behind
the
the
stem
program
and
how
these
are
some
of
our
hardest
working
students
and
how
they're
some
of
our
most
competitive
graduates,
as
the
numbers
were
put
to
me.
There
were
a
hundred
stem
seats
available
for
middle
school
students
and
only
a
hundred
available
for
high
school
students.
S
I
guess
that's
at
the
two
different
locations
that
have
them
so
that
got
me
thinking
that
okay,
well,
there's
a
need
for
this,
that's
not
being
fully
addressed
by
those
numbers,
and
so
my
request
initially
to
mr
shaknovich
was
to
price
out
for
this
process.
Doubling
the
number
of
stem
seats
county
wide
in
with
that
well-intentioned
thought.
The
thing
that
came
back
because
that
that's
mr
shaq
knows
his
job
and
his
team's
job
is
to
say:
okay,
that's
what
you
want,
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
numbers
for
that.
S
The
numbers
were
significantly
increased
because
at
some
schools
that
require
portables
that
would
not
be
required
at
other
schools.
So
without
understanding,
okay.
Well,
I
don't
know
which
schools-
those
are
tell
me
what
you
tell
me
what
the
numbers
would
be
if
we
did
it
without
the
portables,
and
so
that's
how
we
got
to
this
number,
so
the
for
us
to
double
the
number
of
stem
seats
without
incurring
the
additional
facilities
costs
for
portables
is
627
thousand
dollars
for
now.
S
This
amendment,
if
passed
in
this
budget
cycle,
would
double
the
number
of
stem
seats
at
south
river
high
school,
which
does
not
require
portables
to
make
that
happen.
So
that
got
me
thinking
about
some
of
the
implications
of
this
and
it's
not
something
that
we
would
be
voting
on
now.
But
if
this
were
to
pass,
I
think
there
definitely
would
be.
Those
seats
would
be
filled.
There's
no
question
about
that.
S
After
all,
that
hard
work
can
reapply
for
stem
in
high
school
and
not
get
a
seat.
So
I'm
not
saying
that
we
address
this
now,
but
I
do
think
that
is
something
that
could
should
be
considered
in
the
policy
committee,
in
particular,
if
we
open
up
additional
capacity
in
high
school
and
there's
a
logic
to
that
to
me,
high
schools
are
bigger
than
middle
schools,
so
there
should
be
more
stem
seats
available
in
the
high
school.
So
that's
how
this
came
to
be
boarded
this
way
for
full
transparency.
S
I
want
everyone
here
to
know
that
I
did
not
go
into
this
with
any
intention
of
benefiting
just
south
river
high
school.
It
just
so
happens
that
south
river
high
school
is
the
only
high
school
at
this
time
that
can
take
the
additional
students
for
stem
without
recourse
to
portables.
So
that's
how
this
amendment
came
to
be.
I
wanted
to
give
that
full
explanation
and
I
hope
that
you
all
will
you
all,
will
consider
it
and
then
further
down
the
line
again.
It
is
not
a
budget
implication,
but
further
down
the
line.
S
I
think
the
policy
committee
would
be
the
appropriate
one
to
start
thinking
about
do
we
do
we
want
to
think
about
potentially
adjusting
our
application
process
for
stem
high
school
seats
for
middle
schoolers
that
have
done
very,
very
well
and
whatever
the
appropriate?
You
know
metric
that
we
would
assign
to
that.
That's
something
for
consideration
down
the
road.
G
B
G
Have
just
a
point
of
clarification
just
so
we,
if
we
do
pass
this,
that
it
has
the
intent
that
you
wanted
it.
It
just
says
double
the
number
of
stem
seats
available
in
the
clusters
that
have
capacity,
but
it
doesn't
specify
high
school
versus
middle
school.
Did
you
want
it
just
to
be
the
number
of
of
high
school
stem
seats
available
in
the
clusters
that
have
capacity
for
additional
students
without
recourse
to
portable
classrooms?
G
S
S
The
only
school
right
now
that
satisfies
this
criteria,
of
being
able
to
take
additional
stem
students
without
portables
is
south
river
high
school,
so
for
transparency,
so
so
everything
I
said,
I'd
be
happy
to
put
a
parenthetical
after
that.
That
says
something
like
that
at
at
this
time,
south
earlier
south
river
high
school
is
the
only
school
that
can
accommodate
the
additional
students
without
recourse
to
portables.
S
S
A
Okay,
we
got
it
any
other
comments.
Ms
shaw,
him:
no.
E
So,
even
with
the
amendment
we're
realistically
just
requesting
more
stem
seats
for
one
school
in
this
case,
so
as
it
is
as
it
is
written
without
the
adjustment
that
you
just
made
should
another
school
by
some
miracle,
get
that
capacity
right
with
the
funding
amount.
That's
here
be
able
to
cover
that
doubling
doubling
that
successfully.
O
So,
okay,
so
let
me
let
me
dial
out
and
then
I'll
dial
back
in
so
the
opportunity
exists
at
south
river
because
of
the
redistricting
activity
that
recently
took
place.
So
over
the
span
of
four
years
worth
of
time
at
south
river
high
school,
approximately
800
students
will
be
will
migrate
over
to
crofton
high
school.
So
the
there's
not
an
immediate
doubling
at
south
river
high
school.
O
O
They
would
bring
in
a
cohort
of
200
students
in
that
freshman
year
the
year
after
that
those
200
students
would
move
to
sophomore
year
10th
grade
and
then
another
200
come
in,
so
they
would
glide
in
over
four
years
because
we
only
on
board
stem
students
at
the
freshman
year
because
they
have
a
very
specific
sequence
of
courses.
So.
X
O
Can't
just
come
in
mid-flight
and
kind
of
catch
up.
It
just
completely
doesn't
work.
Now.
Back
to
this,
there
are
no
other
schools
in
fy
21
within
anne
arundel
county
absent,
something
completely
happening
like
I
couldn't
even
possibly
imagine
that
could
take
on
additional
stem
students
without
the
introduction
of
portables.
Mr
grantham
was
very
specific
with
that,
so
I
I
a
I
don't
see
that
happening
because
every
school,
all
the
remaining
schools
would
need
portables
and
b
should
magic
happen
and
some
school
didn't
need.
F
So
let
me
start
by
saying
I
am
all
for
expanding
magnet
programs.
I
am
a
parent
who
has
had
children
who
attend
or
have
attended
four
different
magnet
programs
across
the
county,
so
I
know
the
benefits
of
them.
I
know
how
fabulous
the
programs
are
I'd,
love
to
see
them
expanded.
I
also
know
that
every
single
one
of
our
magnet
programs
has
a
waiting
list.
I
actually
checked
the
list
today,
because
acceptances
came
out
and
actually
on
the
waiting
list
at
south
river
right
now
for
stem.
F
F
F
Before
we
actually
know
what
the
intro
enrollments
trends
will
be,
we
don't
know
if
the
demand
for
the
magnet
will
even
remain
the
same
when
the
new
high
school
opens,
because
many
students
that
may
have
gone
for
the
magnet
may
instead
choose
to
be
going
to
the
new
high
school.
I
also
have
a
concern
that
this
amendment
only
proposes
expanding
seats.
At
one
stem
high
school
program,
we
have
eight
high
school
magnet
programs
as
well
as
seven
middle
school
ones.
F
Every
one
of
those
programs
has
waiting
lists
and
many
of
the
schools
have
capacity
to
possibly
increase
the
enrollment,
not
necessarily
doubling
but
adding
10
or
20
seats.
So
why
are
we
considering
doubling
at
one
school
without
even
looking
at
the
others?
Performing
visual
arts,
bio,
medical,
allied
health
and
international
baccalaureate
are
also
quality
sought
of
after
programs
with
very
long
waiting
lists
at
all
the
schools.
This
expansion,
I
think,
is
premature.
I
Miss
hummer
miss
ellis.
Thank
you.
I'm
going
to
ask
a
couple
questions.
I
know
it's
a
lot
of
information
on
the
fly,
so
I
don't
know
if
you
have
it,
but
do
you
know
the
first
of
all?
Did
you
do
you
know
if
there's
fewer
students
on
the
waiting
list
for
south
river
stem
right
now
than
last
year,
perhaps
as
a
result
of
crofton.
I
O
O
I
B
AB
The
waiting
list,
the
waiting
list
at
that
well,
first
of
all,
the
waiting
list
that
you'd
see
online
right
now,
they're,
not
your
waiting
list
right,
they
just
came,
they
just
came
out
of
lottery,
which
means
waiting
lists.
Have
one
student
could
be
sitting
on
more
than
one
waiting
list
right
now,
so
the
waiting
list
we
look
at,
which
tells
the
real
true
picture
of
how
many
people
are
waiting
to
get
a
seat
in
that
school
is
the
one
in
july
and
august
right
right,
just
you
know
a
good
month
before
school
starts.
AB
AB
AB
Biggest
waiting
list
last
year
was
lynndale
middle
school.
There
were
over
100
people
waiting
to
get
into
lynndale
middle
school
still,
so
I
don't
remember
the
exact
ones
otherwise,
but
I
mean
those
are
the
two.
You
know
things
go
through
trends
right
and
and
cycles,
and
so
the
bottom
line
is
the
stem.
Schools
are
absolutely
sought
after,
as
are
our
other
magnet
programs,
but
what
we
see
over
the
years
is
a
settling
to
some
degree
over.
X
AB
I
B
AB
I
And
then
that's
my
final
question.
Sorry,
it's
late!
I
It's
it's
slipped,
my
mind,
I'm
sorry!
Okay
and
I
I
I'm
just
gonna.
I
Oh,
that
was
my
other
question.
If
there's,
if
there's
a
greater
number
of
students
that
don't
get
a
seat
at
north
county
and
perhaps
that
grows
with
the
opening
of
a
new
school,
is
there
a
way
to
shift
our
boundaries
so
that,
because
right
now,
it
feels
like
perhaps
more
students
with
interest
have
an
access
to
the
to
stem
if
they
live
in
a
certain
part
of
the
county
than
the
other.
AB
AB
AB
That's
overtime
and
crofton
is
going
to
add
down
to
south
river,
so
initially,
while
crofton
may
be
a
place
that
has
the
new
school
effect
for
a
few
years.
Eventually,
you
know
crofton
will
feed
from
the
beginning
into
south
river.
Those
numbers
will
grow
to
south
river
stem,
so
we'll
have
a
seven
up.
Six
down
we've
looked
at
that
significantly
and
would
not
recommend
right
now,
moving
the
borders
and
who
goes
where
based
on
feeders
right
now,
because
remember
we
have.
Although
we
have
two
major
stem
high
schools,
we
have
three
stem
middle
schools.
AB
I
S
I
do
have
one
question
for
you:
do
you
have
a
sense
of
how
many
students
go
through
stem
in
middle
school,
but
then
are
not
able
to
get
a
seat
in
high
school
is?
Is
that
the
majority
of
the
waiting
list?
No.
AB
It's
an
interest,
it's
interesting.
It's
a
great
question.
You're
asking
the
schools
are
all
different,
but
what
we've
looked
at
over
time
and
I'll
give
it
to
you
for
the
pva
just
a
minute
just
for
now.
Only
because
I
know
that
went
off
the
top
of
my
head.
Only
30
of
the
current
pva
students
in
bates
middle
school
go
on
to
apply
to
the
pva
at
high
school
when
they're
queried
about
that,
because
we
have
done
that.
AB
It's
not
because
they
didn't
enjoy
the
program.
It's
because
that
passion
and
interest
it
doesn't
go
away.
They
just
see
themselves
in
their
either
annapolis
high,
not
as
a
pva
student
or
in
their
home
school,
and
they
continue
with
their
arts
in
stem.
What's
interesting,
is
we
have
bolstered
the
stem
programs
all
over
the
county
in
all
the
comprehensive
high
schools?
So
you
can
get
amazing
science,
technology,
engineering,
math
everywhere,
so
some
students
to
the
tune
of
30
to
50
percent
of
the
students,
don't
necessarily
apply
to
go
to
the
stem
magnet
programs.
S
S
I
I
I
guess
I
don't
want
to
debate
this,
but
in
response
to
something
that
miss
hummer
said
I
I
think
this
is
my
fifth
time
going
through
a
budget
along
with
you-
and
I
don't
recall
any
other
prior
amendments
in
prior
years
to
increase
the
number
of
seats
in
any
of
the
magnet
programs.
That's
an
opportunity
that
you've
had
that's
an
opportunity
that
any
other
member
up
here
has
had.
S
Based
on
your
experience
going
around
and
seeing
that
this
is
coming
from
something
that
I
saw
talking
to
two
principals
saying:
oh,
you
know
we
we,
you
know,
we
we
have
more
students
that
want
this
than
we
than
we
can
meet
the
needs
for.
I
do
want
to
be
as
responsible
as
possible
in
trying
to
address
that
concern,
that's
expressed
to
me
again
directly
by
school
principles,
and
that's
why
I
was
trying
to
modify
it
not
to
have
you
know
huge.
You
know,
facilities
implications
in
terms
of
the
portables.
S
What
I
want,
I
know,
there's
another
amendment,
that's
coming
back
around
after
this
that
mr
jack,
nobody
is,
is
there
a
way
to
knowing
that
at
this
time
this
would
only
apply
to
south
river
high
school.
Is
there
a
way
that,
in
a
few
moments
that
you
could
cost
down
this
number
to
address
the
40
or
so
students
that
that
we
know
are
on
a
waiting
list
to
get
seats
there,
rather
than
doubling
it
from
100
to
200.?.
S
S
A
Q
I
Miss
and
twine
correct.
Let
me
know
if
I
don't
have
this
correct,
but
I
believe
the
amendment
will
read
as
it's
written
except
it
will
be
add.
1.1
million.
E
I
Recruiting
right
hold
on,
let
me
look
at
the
warning,
so
only
read:
okay,
so
take
off
the
retention.
B
I
Right
got
it
all
right,
I'm
gonna
read
it,
and
you
tell
me
if
this
sounds
right.
Thank
you.
So
add
500
000
to
superintendent's
recommendation
to
be
used
for
teacher
recruitment.
Recruitment
funds
would
be
used
to
recruit
more
classroom.
Teachers
which
addresses
capacity
concerns
due
to
aggressive
student
enrollment
growth
and
overcrowding
in
our
schools.
E
E
Yes,
no
worries
so,
as
we
went.
E
Attention,
but
we
still
fail
to
address
recruitment
based
on
my
research
and
the
presentation
that
that
we
had
at
last
meeting,
I
believe
it's
important
that
we
enhance
and
and
support
more
of
our
recruiting
efforts,
as
it
says
in
there,
it
will
certainly
help
with
capacity
issues,
especially
if,
if
retention
somehow
fails
recruiting
will
be
be
a
good
substitute
in
terms
of
feeling
those
those
needs.
E
I
Ms
ellis,
can
you
help
under
help
us
understand
what
the
money
will
be
spent
for?
This
is
not
for
staff
ftes.
E
I
understood
that
they
there
was
a
lot
of
travel
and
plans
to
change
even
our
technological
features,
to
enhance
recruitment
efforts,
so
this
would
be
funding
those
those
types
of
efforts.
A
Okay,
I
don't
see
any
more
questions
from
the
dyess,
so
we
are
do
we
have
any
public
comments,
seeing
none
miss
ellis.
Can
you
please
reread
the
amendment.
I
Amendment
5
excuse
me,
add
500
000
to
superintendents
recommended
recommendation
to
be
used
for
teacher
recruitment.
Recruitment
funds
would
be
used
to
recruit
more
classroom.
Teachers
which
addresses
a
capacity
concerns
due
to
aggressive
student
enrollment
growth
and
overcrowding
in
our
schools,
increases
operating
budget
recommendation
by
500
thousand
dollars.
B
S
B
S
You
know
we
give
the
number
as
opposed
to
the
number
being
generated
by
the
need-
and
I
I
I
have
a
concern
about
that.
So
I'm
going
to
vote
no.
E
I,
it
has
been
insinuated
all
night
that
some
of
us
don't
take
the
time
to
do
what's
necessary
to
make
informed
fiscal
decisions
and
that's
just
not
fair
or
right.
We
are
here
to
make
informed
decisions,
and
I
assure
you
the
the
amendments
that
I
put
forth.
They
most
certainly
come
with
in-depth
research,
physic,
physically,
mentally
and
otherwise,
and
even
spiritually,
because
I
pray
over
these
things
as
well.
E
So,
yes,
I
did
dwindle
it
down,
hoping
that
I
could
get
some
kind
of
additional
information
from
staff
concerning
the
number,
but
I
do
want
to
look
down
based
on
the
information
that
I
I
already
knew.
The
concern
recruiting
and
based
on
information
that
was
has
been
recently
shared
and,
and
so
the
with
all
that
I'm
saying
I
to
that
amendment,
mr
gilliland.
P
A
One
eight:
okay:
we
have
one
more
amendment
to
revisit
alex.
Are
you
good
okay?
We
are
now
releasing
the
hold
on
amendment
number
26.
and
mr
grannon.
Do
you
want
to
initiate
the
reintroduction
of
this.
S
Motion
a
number
tailored
to
the
currently
the
numbers
of
40
students.
O
O
To
allow
us
a
factor
of
safety
because
the
students
can
go
like
that
and
to
keep
math
a
little
bit
simpler.
We
we
modeled
it
for
50
additional
students.
So
it's
so
it's
not
a
doubling.
It's
a
50
increase
above
today's
numbers,
but
it's
not
100
increase.
So
we
model
everything
on
50
additional
students
coming
into
the
ninth
grade
cohort,
so
they'll
have
150
seats,
come
september
of
2020
and
then
they'll
have
150
seats
in
in
each
of
the
next
three
years.
So
the
number
prior
originally
was
627.
O
I
Add
50
stem
seats
available
in
clusters
that
have
capacity
for
additional
students
without
recourse
deportable
classrooms.
At
this
time,
south
river
high
school
is
the
only
school
with
capacity
for
additional
stem
seats
without
recourse
to
portables
increase
operating
budget
recommendation
by
three
hundred
fifty
nine
thousand
three
hundred
forty
dollars.
I
A
Can
we
get
just
a
re-motion
in
a
second
because
it
did
dynamically
changed?
Okay
motion
and
second,
this
hummer,
followed
by
miss
ellis,
miss
hummer.
F
Yes,
I
just
want
to
address
something
that
mr
grannon
said.
He
asked
why,
if
I
was
in
support
of
explaining
these
that
in
the
five
years
I've
been
on
the
board,
we
hadn't
done
that.
Actually
we
have-
and
mr
grant
has
been
on
the
board
too.
We've
voted
multiple
times
over
the
past
couple
of
years
to
fully
because
at
the
time
when
we
came
on
the
board,
there
was
not
the
stem
program
at
central
middle
school.
So
we
voted
in
multiple
budgets
to
expand
the
seats
there
and
fully
implement
the
stem
program
at
central
middle.
F
So
we
have
expanded
the
seats
by
400
students
in
the
past
few
years,
and
so
again
I
would
I'm
going
to
ask
again:
why
are
we
looking
to
add
seats
only
at
south
river?
There
is
more
room
there,
but
there
could
be
capacity,
for
instance,
to
do
20
seats
at
glen,
burnie
or
15
at
broadneck,
so
we're
singling
out
one
program
for
expansion
without
looking
across
the
board.
F
I
believe
this
is
something
that
should
be
done,
but
done
more
methodically
by
looking
at
all
programs
and
making
a
plan,
but
I
also
believe
it's
not
the
top
priority.
For
this
year
we
have
other
program
expansions
a
new
high
school
and
other
things
that
we
need
to
focus
on
and
that
I
believe
this
should
be
for
another
year.
I
O
No,
no
it's
just
it
would
not
so,
in
other
words,
none
of
the
others.
None
of
the
other
schools.
O
Could
make
it
work
even
at
the
50
numbered
set
of
100
number,
all
the
they
would
require
less
portables
than
right
original,
but
none
of
the
other
schools
could
successfully
onboard
50
additional
students
per
year
without
installing
portable
classrooms
at
it
could
be
as
few
as
could
be
as
few
as
two
could
be,
as
many
as
at
least
four
right
just
to
just
to
accomplish
the
additional
50
south
river
is
the
only
one
that
can
take
either
the
50
or
100
number
successfully
without
additional
infrastructure
costs.
Okay,
thank
you.
O
So
I
just
want
to
make
a
statement
mr
grant,
and
I
greatly
appreciate
the
spirit
of
what
you're
trying
to
do
here.
I
have
two
concerns.
One
is.
O
O
There's,
there's
one
location
for
them
so
that,
therefore
every
student
in
the
county
has
access
to
that
program.
There
may
not
be
enough
seats
for
them,
depending
on
the
prime
that
they're
auditioning
for.
But
what
concerns
me
here
is
that
students
do
not
have
an
equal
access
to
stem
under
this
amendment
and
where
we
already
know
we
have
a
greater
need
in
the
northern
part
of
the
county,
because
we've
heard
that
there's
more
students
left
on
the
waiting
list.
O
O
Okay,
michelle
heim
will
we'll
have
to
take
a
pass
on
that
and
seeing
no
more
lights
any
comments
from
the
audience.
Seeing
none,
ms
ellis,
if
you
could,
please
reread
the
amendment
one
more
time
before
vote,
sure
add
50
stem
seats
available
in
clusters
that
have
capacity
for
additional
students
without
recourse
to
portable
classrooms.
O
Appeared
on
the
dice
before
we
completely
closed
out,
and
although
I
traditionally
do
vote,
I'm
willing
to
keep
it
open
to
contain
her
vote
because
she
did
come
into
the
diocese
and
approach
it
and
being
that.
We
already
did
that
for
one
other
member
this
evening,
as
they
were
approaching
in.
O
O
O
O
Folks,
if
I
could
just
get
a
couple
more
minutes
here
of
everybody's
attention,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
discussion,
that's
getting
loud
on
the
diocese,
please
we're
almost
there
please
reserve
for
another
minute.
Are
there
any
other
amendments
that
were
not
presented
to
us,
seeing
no
activity.
O
O
Okay,
just
as
a
gentle
reminder,
as
soon
as
we
reconcile
this,
we
will
be
going
into
the
the
board
will
be
standing
at
ease,
while
staff
calculates
the
finer
number
and
then
we
will
return
for
the
final
vote
as
soon
as
that
number
is
crunched
last
call.
Okay,
we
are
good
to
go.
This
board
is
officially
standing
at
ease
until
such
time.
The
final
number
for
the
final
vote
has
been
conducted.
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
O
Okay,
the
board
is
back
in
session
again.
Thank
you
all
for
your
patience.
We
do
have
some
final
numbers
and,
in
those
final
calculations
and
gestures,
alex,
if
you
wouldn't
mind,
give
us
our
final
standoff
statements.
O
So,
starting
out
with
the
budget
that
was
presented
earlier
yesterday
and
taken
the
net
effect
of
all
of
the
amendments
that
were
passed,
so
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
all
the
different
steps.
So
all
the
amendments
that
were
passed
amounted
to
eleven
million
five
hundred
and
sixteen
thousand
one
hundred
and
thirty
three
dollars
so
eleven
million
five
hundred
sixteen
thousand
one
hundred
thirty
three
dollars
worth
of
amendments
were
passed.
O
O
O
O
It
is
now
the
net
effect
of
the
amendments
has
us
at
seven
point:
six:
zero
percent.
So
our
official
ask
is
a
7.60
percent
increase
and
the
number
you've
been
waiting
for
the
number
you're
going
to
vote
on
tonight
is
the
total
operating
budget
request.
O
So
the
total
operating
budget
request
is
1
billion,
367
million
447
thousand
eight
hundred
ninety
four
dollars
I'll
read
that
again:
1
billion
367.
