E
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you.
Just
briefly
mentioned
two
two
events
that
have
occurred
in
our
school
system
in
the
past
week,
or
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
team
at
north
county
high
school
julie
cares
and
her
team,
along
with
miss
pelham.
The
emergency
team
nick
is
here
with
us
who
really
wrap
their
arms
around
that
community.
E
With
the
loss
of
a
student,
it
is
absolutely
devastating
to
a
school
community
and
that
school
community
came
together
in
support
of
this
student's,
family
and
friends
and
each
other,
and
that
would
not
have
occurred
not
only
with
their
their
feelings
for
each
other
and
the
community
that
has
been
built
under
miscarriage
leadership
as
the
principal,
but
also
with
the
team
that
miss
pelham,
nick
and
others
have
put
together
again
to
wrap
their
arms
around
our
students
and
family.
So
I
thank
you
for
that.
E
The
other
is,
I
just
want
a
quick
shout
out
to
our
facilities
and
maintenance
division.
These
are
folks
that
have
they
work
behind
the
scenes
every
day,
sometimes
24
hours
a
day,
but
at
times
of
inclement
weather,
as
we've
seen
in
the
last
few
days,
they
have
gone
above
and
beyond.
You
won't
know,
but
since
about
three
o'clock
on
saturday
this
past
saturday,
those
crews
are
working
on
about
four
or
five
hours
of
sleep.
E
F
I
I
want
to
echo
that
I
am
probably
to
my
own
detriment.
I
read
a
little
bit
too
many
of
the
facebook
comments
and
a
lot
of
people
were
saying
they
couldn't
understand
how
the
schools
would
be
ready,
because
it
was
a
code
red
yesterday
and
I
think
some
of
those
people
don't
understand
how
many
of
our
employees,
even
when
it's
code
red,
do
show
up
to
work,
do
show
up
and
do
their
work
and
get
the
schools
ready
for
all
the
teachers
and
students
who
need
to
get
there.
B
And
I
just
wanted
to
thank
todd.
Stanzione
of
nantucket
elementary
school
for
a
wonderful
evening
called
hope,
talks.
He
had
back
on
february
11th
and
he
invited
a
number
of
us
from
the
community
and
school
system
to
talk
to
some
of
the
young
men
and
the
parents
that
were
there
about
the
importance
of
mentoring.
It
was
just
a
really
wonderful
evening.
G
Since
our
last
report,
several
months
ago,
we've
been
busy
with
advocacy
and
other
roles
to
support
our
schools,
parents
and
students
in
anne
arundel
county,
a
presentation
by
anthony
alston
from
the
office
of
equity
and
accelerated
student
achievement
resulted
in
eager
open
discussion
that
required
another
invitation
to
him
to
meet
with
our
board.
Pta
leadership.
Training
continues
to
be
given
usually
on-site
at
the
requesting
school
primary
concentration
has
been
in
the
meade
and
north
county
clusters.
G
In
order
to
provide
our
members
with
an
opportunity
to
be
informed
about
the
budget
process,
we
were
fortunate
to
have
alex
shaknovich
and
john
hammond
to
present
information
on
the
budget
process
at
our
mid-year
general
membership.
Meeting
pta
continues
to
be
a
voice
and
a
presence
not
only
for
our
children
but
for
our
parents.
Families
as
well
pta
was
represented
at
the
november
payet
meeting
and
the
january
8th
board
of
ed
budget
meeting.
G
At
the
school
board
level,
input
was
requested
to
weigh
in
on
options
presented
to
the
board
of
ed
by
the
school's
start
times
task
force
report,
a
link
with
the
results
of
that
survey
in
which
1496
parents
participated
can
be
found
on
the
aacps
home
page
countywide.
Our
local
pta
members
have
been
also
been
a
voice
and
continue
to
continue
to
participate
in
various
advocacy
efforts
specific
to
clusters
and
in
honor
of
martin
luther
king
jr
day.
G
Finally,
it
was
very
exciting
to
be
the
county
hosting
a
parent
involvement
panel
town
hall,
co-sponsored
by
arne
duncan
with
the
department
of
education
and
other
thornton
and
national
pta
at
bates
middle
school.
Even
more
gratifying
was
the
local
pta
presence
on
the
panel
of
helen
matiowski
principal
and
jenny
boyvin,
pta
president
of
hillsberry
elementary
school.
G
G
I
take
lightly
made
even
more
important
by
the
fact
that
there
are
over
30,
exceptionally
well
qualified
candidates
vying
for
the
two
available
positions.
The
commission
will
meet
this
evening
for
deliberation
and
public
vote
of
the
names
to
go
forward
to
governor
hogan
looking
forward.
I
would
like
to
call
your
attention
and
invite
you
to
join
us
for
upcoming
events.
A
reception
to
honor
students
who
contributed
to
our
reflections
program
will
be
held
here
in
the
boardroom
tomorrow,
thursday
february
18
from
6
30
to
7
30..
G
G
In
closing,
I
would
like
to
announce
that
we
are
accepting
scholarship
applications
from
graduating
seniors
attending
any
public
high
school
site
in
anne
arundel
county
scholarship,
application
packets
have
been
sent
to
guidance
offices
at
our
12,
comprehensive
high
schools,
cat
north
cats,
south
and
phoenix
academy.
In
addition,
principals
at
the
evening
high
schools
have
also
been
included.
G
Anne
arundel
county
council
of
ptas
continues
in
our
efforts
to
be
collaborative
with
superintendent,
arlato
and
board
personnel
to
support
our
school
staff
and
general
communities
to
encourage
and
engage
parents
and
to
advocate
for
all
children
as
always
pga
thanks
you
for
these
many
opportunities
to
speak
for
every
child.
One
voice.
B
H
So
I'm
here
this
morning
with
my
colleagues
to
the
left
to
announce
proudly
that,
with
the
tremendous
help
of
anne
arundel
county
government
on
february
the
10th
of
2015,
we
entered
into
a
contract
with
mgt
of
america
corporation.
To
begin
that,
body
of
work,
the
board
recalls
that
in
a
presentation
I
gave
to
this
body
some
time
ago
that
it
was
critical
that
we
begin
that
work
in
february
of
this
year,
2015
such
that
we
could
have
the
deliverable
completed
by
the
end
of
august
of
2015..
H
That's
critical
because,
as
the
board
well
knows
in
september
customarily
we
begin
our
capital
budgeting
process
and
it.
It
concludes
on
our
end
in
february,
through
our
traditional
budgeting
cycle.
So
it
was
critically
important
that
we
get
the
project
on
a
trajectory
so
that
we
had
that
input
information
coming
into
that
capital.
Budgeting
cycle.
H
I
Good
morning,
madam
president,
and
I'm
vice
president
members
of
the
board
and
superintendent
rolando,
thank
you
for
having
me
this
morning
and
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
say
a
few
remarks.
Ten
years
ago,
this
board
established
a
very
innovative
and
and
methodical
and
objective
way
of
approaching
new
school
construction
and
refurbishment.
I
I
The
average
size
of
our
high
schools
are
larger
than
those
of
any
surrounding
jurisdiction
and
are
among
the
largest
average
size
high
schools
in
the
united
states,
a
pledge
to
work
with
the
board
to
examine
how
we
can
change
the
dynamic
of
of
school
construction
here
in
our
county.
The
mgt
study
will
set
the
framework
for
school
construction
over
the
next
decade,
so
this
is
a
very
important
undertaking.
I
The
study
contains
a
scope
of
work
that
calls
for
an
examination
of
the
physical
infrastructure
of
our
school
system
and
the
needs
of
our
school
system
moving
forward
once
this
issue
is
examined
and
all
our
stakeholders
weigh
in.
I
believe
this
study
will
lay
the
foundation
for
building
smaller
schools
in
our
county.
I
C
Good
morning,
superintendent,
orlotto
and
ms
corbalak
thank
you
for
having
us
this
morning.
As
you
know,
for
the
past
four
years,
I've
been
on
the
council
and
have
studied
the
capital
budget
very
intently
each
year,
and
the
mgt
study
of
2005-2006
was
instrumental
in
assisting
the
council
in
making
our
decisions.
C
That's
that's
been
given
to
mgt,
and
so
we
thank
you
for
the
input
and
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
the
future
and
on
the
results
of
this
document
and
crafting
the
budget
going
forward
to
really
maximize
the
number
of
dollars
that
we
have
here
in
the
county
and
make
the
best
education
system
that
we
can
from
a
facility
standpoint
for
our
students.
So
thank
you.
J
J
I
would
have
wanted
two
years
ago
for
us
to
have
moved
forward
with
the
mgt
of
america
study,
but
you
don't
always
get
your
way
and
so
today,
we're
here
and
I
think,
we're
on
the
cusp
of
getting
something
done
in
a
very
timely
manner,
so
that
it
can
impact
our
next
budget
cycle
come
next
year
and
that's
a
good
news
story
for
our
children.
Our
children
need
smaller
schools
and
community
schools
in
order
to
be
able
to
really
get
the
intimacy
that
they
need
in
their
education.
B
B
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
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
will
be
allotted
three
minutes
each.
The
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
meeting
student
specific
and
personnel
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
forum.
This
time
is
intended
for
speakers
to
voice
their
opinion
and
not
necessarily
as
a
question
and
answer
period.
B
K
Good
morning,
president
corbelik
superintendent,
arlato
and
members
of
the
board
for
the
record,
my
name
is
jonathan.
Bonifas,
lead
organizer
of
bill
crofton
high
school.
I
am
here
this
morning
to
thank
the
board
of
education
for
putting
the
ball
in
motion
last
november
to
update
the
2006
mdt
study,
with
all
that
has
changed
in
the
past
nine
years
in
anne
arundel
county.
This
was
a
smart
move
that
should
be
that
should
clearly
identify
our
schools
systems
priorities
through
the
next
decade.
K
K
I
would
like
to
thank
you
and
your
team
for
working
together
with
county
executive
shu
and
the
county
council
to
develop
the
scope
of
the
new
mgt
study.
You,
the
county
executive
and
the
county
council
are
setting
up
a
relationship
that
will
be
an
example
to
other
counties
working
together.
There
is
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
you
can
make
anne
arundel
county
even
better
than
it
is
today,
and
a
better
anne
arundel
county
begins
here
in
our
schools
with
our
children.
Thank
you.

Ninety
point.
Four
teachers,
in
addition
to
those
contained
within
dr
arlatta's,
recommended
budget
to
bring
class
sizes
at
all
grades
into
alignment
with
our
prescribed
student-teacher
ratios,
one
million
nine
hundred
and
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty-five
dollars
to
add
19.7
school
psychologists
to
bring
caseloads
into
alignment
with
recommended
ratios,
590
thousand
192
dollars
to
add.
Eight
english
language
acquisition
teachers,
in
addition
to
those
contained
within
dr
arlata's,
recommended
budget
to
bring
case
loads
into
alignment
with
recommended
ratios,
159
324
dollars
to
add
to
three
bilingual
facilitators.
F
F
I'm
fairly
certain,
though,
that
the
reason
that
dr
arlatto
didn't
put
them
in
the
budget
is
because
he's
outlined
a
plan
for
how
he
thinks
we
can
best
bridge
the
achievement
gap
that
he's
looked
at
all
of
these
things
that
he's
taken
everything
into
consideration,
that's
his
job!
That's
why
we
hired
him.
L
I
moved
at
the
board
at
159
324
dollars
at
three
bilingual
facilitators,
in
addition
to
those
contained
within
dr
alato's
recommended
budget
to
bring
caseloads
into
alignment
with
recommended
ratios
and
the
reason
I'm
doing
this
is
because
currently
we
have
14
spanish
bilingual
facilitators
serving
an
average
caseload
of
380
families.
Each.
However,
at
the
current
pace
about
65,
new
families
are
added
every
month
and
there
are
seven
months
remaining
which
would
bring
the
caseload
back
up
to
414
families
by
the
end
of
this
year.
A
L
The
number
back
down
to
363-
and
that
is
exactly
what's
going
to
happen.
If
we
add
two
extra
biling
or
three
extra
positions,
you
will
use
two
of
them
as
spanish
bilingual
facilitators
and
then
the
other
point
five
would
be
used
for
a
pakistani
bilingual
facilitator
and
a
chinese
plus
a
bilingual
facilitator.
L
Bilingual
facilitators
provide
a
bridge
for
non-english
speaking
parents
and
our
school
community.
Without
them,
many
students
that
do
not
speak
english
will
face
an
achievement
gap
because
they
have
no
one
guiding
in
them
through
our
school
system.
The
achievement
gap
is
an
important
matter
in
our
community,
something
we
have
been
trying
to
close
for
years
now.
This
is
an
important
step
to
our
goal
for
closing
the
achievement
gap.
So
I
urge
the
board
to
vote
in
favor
of
three
extra
positions
for
bilingual
facilitators.
J
Thank
you
ma'am,
as
I
was
studying
the
budget
over
the
last
two
or
three
or
four
months,
one
of
the
things
under
the
bilingual
facilitators
that
it
says
it's
actually
on
page
328
of
the
of
the
budget
book
implications,
if
not
approved
it
says.
Currently,
we
only
have
15
bilingual
facilitators
for
the
entire
county,
some
serving
in
some
serving
as
many
as
500
families
and
up
to
23
schools.
J
E
Thank
you,
ms
corblade,
mr
jackson,
I'm
assuming
what
is
referenced
because
I'm
I
don't.
There
is
no
law
that
I
know
of
that
speaks
to
a
ratio
of
bilingual
facilitators
in
a
local
education
agency.
I
I
just
I
don't
know
if
one,
and
if
there
is
one
my
team
is
not
able
to
to
point
it
out
to
me,
I'm
assuming
what
it
is.
E
Referencing
is
in
the
in
the
civil
rights
act
of
1964
title
vi:
it
talks
about
school
systems,
providing
effective
language,
assistance
to
limited
anguish,
limited
english,
proficient
parents,
and
that
takes
place
not
only
with
bilingual
facilitators,
but
translation
of
documents,
translation
and
meetings,
translation
of
websites,
and
so
it
takes
place.
We
also
have
language
link.
E
So
if
a
parent
walks
in
off
the
street
and
is
unable
to
communicate
with
with
a
secretary
or
registrar
or
school,
we
have
the
ability
we
pay
for
the
process
of
of
utilizing
language
link
where
we
can
get
a
translator
on
the
phone
to
make
those
immediate
connections
with
the
parents.
So
that's
all
part
of
it.
So
there
is
no
law
that
I
know
of
that.
We
are
in
violation
of,
but
certainly
as
we
as
our
numbers
grow
of
of
english
language
learners,
particularly
for
parents.
E
We
want
to
be
able
to
keep
up
with
that
need
and
that
that's
the
reason
we
added
three
bilingual
facilitators.
There's
now
a
motion,
an
amendment
before
you
to
add
an
additional
three,
but
I
don't
know
that
we
are
in
violation
of
the
law,
because
the
law
speaks
to
the
law
speaks
to
make
sure
that
you're
providing
some
access
providing
access,
which
I
think
we
are
doing
but
need
to
continue
to
do
a
better
job
of.
J
That's
in
the
budget
book
correct,
correct,
okay,
so
because
that
was
going
to
lead
me
to
my
next
question:
if
we're
not
complying
with
a
law,
then
how
many
bilingual
facilitators
do
we
need
in
order
to
ensure
that
we're
complying
with
the
law
but
hey
if
when
if
we
are
complying
with
the
law,
whatever
that
law
is,
then
then
I'm
very
very
pleased
to
to
add
to
vote
for
three
additional
bilingual
facilitators
in
addition
to
what's
in
the
budget.
Thank
you.
L
M
If
I
recall
correctly,
last
year,
we
added
some
bilingual
facilitators.
Do
you
remember
how
many
we
added
last
year
we
had
three
last
year
as
well,
and
so
we've
asked
for
another
additional
three
this
year,
and
this
is
this-
is
going
to
be
a
really
difficult
meeting
with
these
amendments,
because
in
in
theory
I
support
that,
but
in
reality
I'm
going
to
vote
against
it
and
and
the
reality
is
that
the
money's
not
there-
and
there
are
so
many
things
that
have
to
be
done
within
our
school
system.
M
I'm
going
to
fight
for
the
three
that
we
have
and
hope
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
to
fill
those
because
we're
already,
I
believe
it
was
24
million
over
the
request
for
maintenance
of
effort.
I
believe
we've
been
told
we're
only
going
to
get
maintenance
of
effort,
as
I've
been
thinking
about
this
and
and
ms
corblak
and
I
were
talking-
you
know
you
know
about
not
sleeping
well
last
night
and
all
the
the
information
and
things
as
I
was
thinking
about
this
last
night.
M
And
it's
not
that
I
don't
support
the
fact
I
mean
I
support
the
fact
that
miss
burge
brought
forward
that
18
million
dollar
request.
The
fact
is
is
that
we
all
know
what
we
need
and,
and
getting
there
is,
is
the
is
the
challenge.
Dr
arlatto.
We
went
through
a
specific
search
for
the
superintendent.
What
we
wanted.
We
asked
the
public
for
input.
We
asked
the
community
for
input.
We
asked
elected
officials,
everybody
for
input
on
what
they
wanted
in.
M
In
terms
of
what
was
their
priorities
in
the
school
system
and
our
priorities
were
that
we
needed
to
close
the
achievement
gap,
everybody
said
that,
and
so
dr
arlatto
has
developed
a
plan
that
we've
approved
by
the
fact
that
we've
allowed
them
to
go
forward
to
to
work
on
those
things,
and
I
think
that
sometimes
we
undermine
that
a
little
bit
by
now
going
back
and
trying
to
redo.
It's
not
that
I
don't
believe
we
need
the
facilitators.
It's
not
believe
I
don't.
M
B
N
I
I
just
wanted
to
say:
excuse
me,
you
talked
about
we,
we
all
know
what
we
need
and
that's
not
really
the
case.
We
all
know
what
we
need
central
office
knows
what
we
need,
but
the
public
oftentimes
doesn't
know
what
we
need
and
the
county
council
oftentimes
doesn't
know
what
we
need.
So
we
don't
point
it
out
to
them.
Oftentimes
they
get
the.
I
believe.
In
fact,
I've
talked
to
a
counseling
councilman
who
absolutely
had
the
opinion
that
we
were
asking
for
the
moon
with
the
budget
we
submitted,
they
don't
understand.
N
J
J
We
really
need
to
be
putting
in
probably
10
or
15
bilingual
facilitators,
and
this
is
a
move
to
to
bring
us
into
somewhat
something
of
what
I'm
comfortable
in.
On
top
of
the
three
that
dr
alado
has
recommended,
and
so
you
know
today,
what
we
are
about
is
the
asking
when
we
come
back
in
may
in
june.
I
think
it's
june,
whatever
it
is,
we'll
be
talking
about
the
getting
and
then
we
can
have
the
conversation
we
know
for
the
most
part.
J
Maybe
it
is
only
going
to
be
maintenance
of
effort
that
we're
going
to
get
that's
what
all
the
signals
in
the
tea
leaves
say,
but
that
should
not
stop
us
from
asking
for
what
exactly
we
need
relative
to
helping
our
children,
our
youngest
children
and
our
populations,
in
this
case,
the
bilingual
facilitators
to
be
able
to
help
our
children
in
our
schools
do
what
they
need
to
do.
Thank
you.
F
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
correction.
We
only
would
need
three
more
bilingual
facilitators
to
bring
us
up
to
the
recommended
ratios.
As
the
amendment
that
I
had
introduced
earlier
had
said,
and
and
if
you
do
feel
strongly
about
the
asking,
then
you
should
remake
my
18
million
dollar
amendment,
because
that's
what
we
need,
but
again,
I
personally
believe
that
we
have
to
trust
in
what
our
superintendent
and
his
staff
have
done
in
terms
of
paring
things
down.
There
are
some
small
small
adjustments
that
we
need
to
make.
F
Then
then
I
think
that
that
we
can
do
that.
But
overall,
I
think
we
have
to
trust
that
he
has
a
plan
which
that
is
what
we
hired
him
for
to
to
attack
this
gap
and-
and
I
think
that's
what
his
budget
does
and
and
mr
webb
as
you've
said
you
you
always,
you
know,
try
and
explain
to
people
what
we
really
need.
Hopefully
the
fact
that
I
introduced
this
amendment
that
you
so
kindly
seconded
earlier
will
help
some
people
out
there
understand
that
we
aren't
asking
for
everything
that
we
need.
F
M
Comparing
2005-2006
school
year
with
the
2014-15
school
year,
which
I
think
really
is
an
eye-opener
because
in
2005
6
we
had
a
little
over
three
thousand
four
hundred
hispanic
students.
We
have
over
nine
thousand
four
hundred
hispanic
students
now
and
ten
years
later,
so
those
are
real
numbers
and
that
that's
real,
evident
and
and
and
people
can
see
that.
So
I
I
think
that
we're
doing
some
of
that
job
now
in
terms
of
trying
to
make
people
understand
what
it
is
and
and
how
we
need
to
move
forward.
M
And
you
know
the
county
council
received
that.
Hopefully
they
read
it
and
looked
at
it
and
saw
you
know.
When
we
talk
about
kindergarten,
we
had
full
day
kindergarten.
We
had
2008
students
this
year
or
in
2
14
15.
We
have
over
6
000
students,
you
know
full
day,
kindergarten,
pre-k
students,
we
had
369
students
this
year.
We
have
1085.,
so
we're
growing
and
you
know
when
they
make.
I
I
believe
our
budget
is
three
percent
over.
M
What
maintenance
of
effort
was,
if
that's
the
correct
number,
so
you
know
we're
asking
for
a
little
bit
over
to
to
meet
and
address
these
kind
of
needs,
and
we
keep
chipping
away
because
people
keep
saying,
I
don't
know
why
you
can't
just
do
it
with
the
app
we
have
class
sizes
of
25
students
in
kindergarten
that
that's
not
beneficial
to
students
in
the
achievement
gap
when
they're
25.,
you
know
we
have
to.
We
have
to
find
ways
to
wheel
those
down.
So
again
we
have
to
trust
and
move
forward.
B
I'd
also
just
like
to
echo
and
point
out
that
last
year
we
had
a
deficit
of
nine
bilingual
facilitators
to
bring
caseloads
into
alignment,
and
I
think
the
plan
that
we
put
in
place
was
to
add
three
a
year.
I'm
sure
we'll
be
back
next
year,
asking
for
three
more
if
this
motion
doesn't
pass,
but
we
are
moving
in
the
direction
of
getting
ourselves
into
alignment
with
the
recommended
ratios.
L
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
with
this
money
is
that
we're
just
adding
more
money
in
there.
So
we
have
more
space
to
explore
more
avenues
as
we
go
through
bargaining,
because
I
know
with
the
different
units
there's
different
things
that
will
benefit
them.
Maybe
a
cola
will
benefit
everyone
and
not
tack
as
much
as
it
would
ael.
So
we're
just
looking
at
different
ways
to
make
everyone
happy
with
this.
F
F
But
I
just
I
feel
that
this
is
an
amount
that
I'm
comfortable
with
in
order
to
feel
as
though
we've
met
our
contractual
obligations,
and-
and
this
is
one
place
where
I
do
feel
like
the
asking
is-
is
important
because
we
do
have
contracts,
and
I
think
that
it
is
important
to
ask
for
what
what
we
have
bargained
for
in
the
past.
Thank
you.
M
M
So
how
many
people
would
get
steps
and
how
many
and
that's
across
all
all
units,
because
if
we
give
the
steps,
if
we,
if
we
only
have
the
money
that
we
have,
that
we've
requested
we're
not
even
sure
we're
going
to
get
that.
But
if
we
only
have
that
that
allotment
of
money,
then
it
can
only
be
used
for
I
mean
we've
got
it
allotted
for
a
two
percent
cola.
That's
a
placeholder
for
two
percent
cola
for
the
entire
workforce.
H
Well
to
your
to
your
point:
a
cola
is
an
across-the-board
increase,
so
a
cola
is
applicable
to
each
and
every
employee,
represented
or
non-represented.
Everybody
would
receive
a
uniform
percentage
increase
and
that's
applied
against
what
their
base
salary
is.
The
difference
with
a
cola
is
if
the
board
of
education
decided
to
issue
a
cola
to
all
employees,
so
you're
going
to
set
aside.
I'm
sorry
set
aside
a
cola
and
issue
a
step,
which
is
what
I
think
your
question
is.
H
M
And
that's
across
the
board,
but
if
it's
only
for
unit
one,
if
we
only
are
able
to
give
and
I'm
not
asking
about
with
this
mode-
I
mean
this.
The
the
money
here
in
this
allotment
would
be
able
to
do
that
for
steps
for
the
if
the
entire
grouping
I'm
asking
about.
If
we
only
use
the
money
that
we
have
requested
without
this
amendment,
it
wouldn't
even
be
enough.
That
would
not
be
enough
even
for
for
all
the
the
whole
employees
thing.
That's.
H
M
M
O
H
H
H
If
you
wanted
to
move
from
a
two
percent
cola
to
a
step
for
ael,
you
would
actually
be
reducing
dr
lotto's
budget
by
405
thousand
six
hundred
and
fifteen.
Ask
me
would
require
an
increase
of
two
hundred.
Ninety
one
thousand
and
sixty
three
dollars
sack
would
require
an
increase
of
eight
hundred
and
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ninety
five
dollars
for
unit
five
professional
support
a
through
e.
It
would
actually
be
a
reduction
in
dr
lotto's
recommendation
of
117
953
for
professional
support
grade
f.
H
H
Miss
burge,
I'm
sorry
miss
ritchie.
That
amounts
to
the
proposal.
That's
been
introduced
before
you,
so
that's
how
you
arrive
at
the
two
million
seven
hundred,
ninety
seven
thousand
four
hundred
and
seventy
six
dollars.
So
it's
a
series
of
of
pluses
and
minuses
going
across
but,
as
missed
chaudhary
said,
this
would
provide
the
board
of
education
with
the
maximum
amount
of
flexibility.
M
And
I'm
going
to
vote
for
this
for
that
specific
reason,
because
what
we
have
done
in
the
past
has
been
before
ie
became
on
the
board.
There
was,
it
was
a
lot
of
the
piecemeal
was
every
man
for
themselves,
kind
of
thing
you
know
and
whoever
screamed
loudest
got
the
best
and
and
so
forth,
and
so
what
we've
really
tried
to
do
is
to
ensure
across
the
board
that
we're
not
picking
and
chooses
you
know
who's
our
favorite
child
this
month
and
so
by
increasing
this.
J
Thank
you
ma'am,
just
to
make
sure
that
I
have
the
numbers
correct.
You
said
738
total
employees.
Out
of
our.
However
many
nine
thousand
ten
thousand
employees
would
not
receive
a
step,
and
I
thought
you
said
649
of
those
would
come
out
of
out
of
unit
1.,
so
that
would
be
89
or
going
to
come
out
of
some
other
unit.
Can
you
break
down
that
89.
H
Sure,
if,
if
you
apply
the
step
and
only
to
step
model,
in
addition
to
the
649
unit,
1
tac
members,
there
would
be
13
ael
members
that
would
be
ineligible
for
a
compensation
increase.
As
a
result
of
the
step.
There
will
be
43
afscme
unit,
3
members,
there
will
be
17,
say,
unit
4
members
and
finally,
there
will
be
16,
unified,
professional
support
members.
B
I
also
feel
very
strongly
that
we
need
to
honor
our
collective
bargaining
agreements.
I
realize
that
we're
in
renegotiations
with
most
of
our
unions,
but
based
on
what
we
negotiated
in
prior
years,
we
do
have
an
obligation
to
at
least
ask
for
the
step
increases,
so
I
will
also
be
supporting
this
amendment.
L
L
Dr
elado's
budget
would
include
all
of
the
tier
1
students,
which
are
the
farm
family
students
and
the
low-income
students.
But
it
would
not
cover
all
of
tier
two
and
tier
two.
It's
important
that
we
cover
it,
because
tier
two
students
there's
as
much
of
an
achievement
gap
for
them
as
there
is
with
tier
one
students,
because
they
have
they
have
they
have
to
go
through
just
as
many
hardships
I
think,
and
the
achievement
gap
is
an
important
matter
in
our
community
and
something
that
we've
been
trying
to
close
up
for
years
now.
L
E
Yes,
ma'am
tier
one,
these
are
state.
These
are
state
determinations,
so
tier
one
are
students
that
are
living
in
poverty
based
on
their
farms,
free
and
reduced
price
meals.
The
tier
two
and
tier
three
students
are
those
that
are
ell
learning
english
as
a
second
language,
and
then
our
special
education
students
and
then
what
along
the
state
levels
referred
to
as
tier
four
students
is
everybody
else,
so
we
are
required
federally
to
make
room
for
our
tier
one
students,
those
that
are
in
poverty,
which
we
do
again.
E
You
have
made
mention
of
this
several
times,
as
I
have
as
well
and
ms
korbilak
that
we
are
not
compensated
for
that
in
our
maintenance
of
efforts.
So,
while
printing,
while
kindergarten
is
mandated
by
the
state
pre-kindergarten,
is
not
so
it
does
not
become
part
of
those
maintenance
of
effort
numbers
and
some
numbers
that
ms
audrey
share
with.
You
got
a
little
over
1800
students
in
pre-k,
which
not
part
of
our
maintenance
of
of
of
effort
numbers.
E
M
And
that
that's
extremely
important-
I
I
I
didn't
realize
this,
because
I
always
just
thought
everybody
had
all
day
kindergarten
and
then
I
found
out
virginia
doesn't
and
I'm
thinking
they
don't
have
all
day.
I
mean
who
doesn't
have
all
day
kindergarten
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
get
all
day
pre-k
or
get
all
of
our
kids
into
pre-k.
M
When
we
had
that
presentation
from
the
infants
and
toddlers
when
that
when
those
parents
came
forward
and
talked
about
these
kids
that
are
like,
we
have
like
900,
kids
and
infinite
dollars-
and
I
I
didn't
even
have
a
clue
about
that-
I
mean
so
that
that's
just
a
real
eye-opener
in
order
to
be
able
to
prepare
kids
to
be
able
to
learn
and
to
therefore
meet
the
achievement
gap.
So
I'm
very
supportive
of
that.
B
B
D
Also,
if
indeed
there
is
a
difficulty,
we
pay
those
who
are
not
12
months.
Sometimes
we
have
to
pay
them
per
diem
to
come
back
and
work
to
for
the
overload
and
so
again
that
that
is
an
expense
and
it's
one
that
that
I
think
could
be
reflected
in
in
a
cost.
I'm
not
going
to
ask
you
alex
to
figure
that
out,
but
I
just
think
this
is
an
extremely
important
I've
heard
from
counselors.
D
M
And
I
I
believe
that
we've
been
migrating
this.
This
is
just
to
help
to
close
this
last
little
grouping
up.
Is
that
correct?
I
mean
we've
been
we've
been
slowly
moving
this
along
every
when
we
hire
new
counselors
we've
been
hiring
them
as
12-month
employees,
because
there
was
a
time
when
we
we
scaled
them
back
to
210,
and
then
we've
decided
that
that's
just
not
effective.
So
what
this
is
doing
is
basically
closing
that
that
little
loop
in
that
circle
is
that
right.
H
Yes,
ma'am
a
number
of
years
ago,
under
former
superintendent,
when
we
were
in
the
in
the
deepest
throws
of
the
economic
downturn,
we
had
to
make
some
very,
very
difficult
position:
adjustments,
decisions
on
the
cost,
containment
side.
One
of
those
decisions
was
to
make
some
of
these
counseling
positions,
either
200
or
200
day,
and
we've
been
slowly
over
time
as
the
budget
permits
unwinding.
H
D
I
think
I'm
asking
for
looking
and
talking
maintenance
of
effort
and
and
knowing
our
budget
can
I'm
asking
for
the
we
we
need
more,
but
I'm
asking
for
what
I
feel
is
the
minimum
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
all
high
schools
have
at
least
full
time.
I
think
that
is
just
a
basic
that
we
need.
So
that's
the
reason
that
I
would
like
to
see
this
added.
J
M
Having
gotten
those
same
emails,
I
fully
understand
that
the
need
for
the
school
psychologist
when
we
talk
about
mental
health,
but
I'm
afraid
that
if
we
push
too
far,
we
get
none,
and
so
I'm
I'm.
I
understand
that
needing
to
add
one
to
do
that,
but
I'm
more
inclined
to
just
do
the
one
in
the
high
school
so
that
every
high
school
at
least
has
one
psychologist.
L
I
was
originally
gonna
amend
patty's
amendment
make
it
five,
but
I
guess
we'll
stick
to
two
right
now
and
the
reason
I
think
two
is
important
is
because
that
one
is
going
to
cover
all
of
the
high
schools,
but
then
we
have
middle
school
and
elementary
students.
So
I
think
we
just
need
that
one
extra,
because
middle
school,
a
lot
of
people,
don't
think
it's
as
much
drama
as
high
school
is
but
you're
forgetting
that
middle
school
kids
are
going
through
puberty
and
they're
going
through
all
these
changes.
L
B
I
just
wanted
to
make
make
a
note
that
the
high
schools
that
don't
have
a
full-time
school
psychologist
at
this
point
are
chesapeake
and
southern.
So
these
would
this
one
position
that
mrs
nelly
asked
for
would
at
least
bring
those
into
a
full-time
psychologist
position,
and
I
understand
what
ms
chaudry
is
saying
about.
Having
another
person
available
to
our
middle
and
elementary.
B
M
This
again
is
also
the
bringing
that
up
into
the
putting
us
back
into
alignment
where
we
need
them
to
be.
Currently
these,
the
small
group
12
st
principal
assistant,
principals,
that
don't
work
during
the
summer
are
then
not
able
to
be
as
fully
involved
and
engaged
in
getting
the
schools
ready
for
students
to
open
and
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
happens
in
the
summer
time
in
terms
of
preparing
for
students.
So
this
would
just
as
as
the
counselors
did,
would
just
do
the
same
thing
with
this
assistant
principles.
D
I
move
that
the
board
adds
one
million
three
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
two
dollars
allocated
in
the
appropriate
state
categories
to
shift
current
school
hours
to
ensure
that
no
high
school
starts
before
7
7
45
a.m,
and
no
comprehensive
elementary
or
middle
school
ends
after
4
20
p.m.
I
further
move
that
school
hours
be
adjusted
accordingly
and
become
effective
no
later
than
the
start
of
the
2016-2017
school
year.
D
However,
I
do
not
think,
and
I've
looked
at
it
and
I
have
been
an
elementary
school
principal
teacher
in
the
system
over
40
years,
and
I
do
not
believe
that
it
is
good
for
elementary
students
to.
I
think
it's
as
unhealthy
as
the
high
school
starting
when
it
does
now
to
have
elementary
school
students
some
of
the
times-
and
I
said
this
publicly
before-
would
if
we
just
simply
pushed
it
back,
some
of
those
students
would
arrive
at
at
their
schools.
They
now
get
there
at
right
now
at
9,
00,
9
15.
D
If
they
arrived
at
almost
10
o'clock,
they
would
immediately
go
and
some
of
them
would
have
to
go
to
specials
art,
music
p.
They
would
have
to
have
lunch.
Those
things
are
kind
of
important
and
they
wouldn't
start
their
first
academics
until
one
o'clock
in
the
afternoon
in
many
cases,
but
then
they
had
pe
and-
and
I
mean
by
the
time
they
had
lunch
and
recess
that
is
unconscionable.
I
cannot
approve
that.
I
think
that
anyone
would
tell
you
that
it
is
not.
D
D
The
bus
comes
right
out
in
front
of
my
house
on
the
main
road
and
then
they
walk
back
into
their
communities
and
dark
is
and
we
don't
have
sidewalks,
and
so
I
I
think
it's
extremely
important.
I
personally
think
420
is
late
for
them
for
an
elementary
school
to
get
out,
but
in
the
in
in
disc
in
discussions,
I'm
trying
to
look
at
a
beginning
step
where
we
can
can
do
this
and
not
make
it
unhealthy
for
elementary
students
and
make
it
fiscally
viable
for
for
for
our
system
as
a
beginning.
F
F
That
means
that
everyone
knows
that
dismissals
don't
happen
immediately
in
elementary
schools.
It
takes
10
or
15
minutes
to
get
all
of
those
kids
out
of
school.
So
you
know
420.
If
a
school
was
getting
out
at
4
20,
those
kids
would
not
be
leaving
that
building
until
at
least
4
30.
they
would
not
be
getting
home
until
at
least
4
45..
F
F
That's
not
acceptable.
I
mean,
when
is
a
child
supposed
to
do
anything
to
eat
dinner,
to
do
their
homework,
to
play
soccer,
to
go
to
girl
scouts
any
of
those
things.
This
is
not
an
acceptable
solution.
We
haven't
found
it
yet.
We
are
in
the
process
from
what
I
understand
of
putting
out
our
rfp
for
software
for
transportation,
routing
software.
F
F
I
I
would
be
horrified
if
I
had
my
elementary
and
I
don't
know
if
those
kids
that
go
to
bed
at
7
or
7
30.
Let
me
just
tell
you
they're
monsters
by
five.
I
don't
know
what
they
would
be
like
in
school
at
four
o'clock.
You
would
not
have
wanted
to
deal
with
my
middle
school
child
at
when
he
was
in
elementary
school
at
four
o'clock.
F
I
also
have
to
take
exception
to
the
many
parents
who
have
told
me
that
we
never
do
anything
for
the
high
school
kids,
every
investment
that
we
have
made
for
the
past.
Since
I've
been
on
this
board
has
been
high
school.
All
of
our
magnets
everything
we
do
has
been
middle
school
and
high
school.
The
first
year
we
make
investments
in
elementary
school
people
say:
when
are
you
gonna
look
at
the
the
high
schools?
F
L
I
agree
with
miss
burge
on
this
one
I
think
originally,
when
I
was
looking
at
start
times,
I
didn't
like
any
of
the
options
that
were
presented
and
then,
when
I
was
presented
with
this
there
was.
I
guess
I
like
the
fact
that
it
was
only
a
million
dollars
compared
to
the
nine
million
dollars
that
most
of
the
other
options
offered,
but
I
still
don't
think
this
is
where
we
have
to
go.
L
I
don't
think
school
start
times
is
currently
a
huge
issue
right
now
that
we
have
to
look
at
maybe
next
year
we
can
look
at
it
again,
but
with
everything
that's
going
on,
I
don't
feel
like,
especially
because
7
45
28
minutes
is
not
going
to
make
a
difference.
Do
you
guys,
honestly
think
high
school
students
are
going
to
go
to
sleep
28
minutes
late?
Before
I
don't
know
it's
too
much
of
a
small
impact
according
to
the
american
pediatrics
association,
they
wanted
8
30,
they
said
no.
L
The
school
should
not
be
starting
before
8
o'clock.
This
is
before
8
o'clock
by
15
minutes.
They
have
to
be
on
buses
by
7
30.
They
have
to
be
at
their
stops.
It's
not
that
much
of
a
difference.
I
don't
think
we
should
be
spending
1.3
million
dollars
on
something
that's
going
to
make
such
a
small
impact.
M
M
Is
that
that
option
and-
and
the
fact
is
that
we
have
to
look
at
all
these
different
options.
We
haven't
done
anything
like
study
traffic
patterns
and
and
what
the
impact
this
is
going
to
be
when
you're
worried
about
kids
getting
home
at
getting
out
of
school
at
4,
20
and
then
getting
home
after
the
dismissal.
M
Now
we're
talking
into
we're
talking
about
a
whole
different
traffic
patterns
and
what
is
that
going
to
do
for
buses
and
how's
that
going
to
impact
how
much
even
later
they
get
home
so
why
we
have
the
beginning
part
of
it
in
terms
of
getting
kids
to
sleep
longer
and
to
be
more
rested
to
go
to
school.
We
have
the
ending
part
of
it
where
we
have
kids,
not
getting
home
until
five
o'clock
and
some
of
our
youngest
learners
and
there's
not
been
any
studies
that
have
shown
what
that
impact
is.
M
So
I'm
not
in
favor
of
adding
any
money.
That's
going
to
talk
about
that
part,
I'm
in
favor
of
looking
at
the
routing
software
other
than
but
making
sure
that's
not
taken
from
someplace
else.
To
do
that.
By
that
I
mean
I
don't
want
the
county
council
to
move
money
within
our
budget
to
make
that
occur.
M
It
needs
to
be
new
money
added
to
the
to
the
currently
existing
request,
as
opposed
to
to
having
that.
So
there's
a
lot
more.
That
needs
to
be
done
on
this.
You
could
take
an
example.
I
think
montgomery
moved,
there's
20
minutes
and
everybody's
up
in
arms.
Why
did
they
do
that?
And
because
that
wasn't
enough,
it's
not
what
they
wanted.
It's
not
enough
things.
M
J
J
Her
motion
says
that
no
comprehensive,
elementary
or
middle
school
ends
after
4
20..
I
highlight
those
because
it
still
gives
the
administration
plenty
of
room
and
opportunity
to
set
the
necessary
limits
inside
of
those
hours
no
earlier
than
7
45
and
no
later
than
4
20.,
and
I
believe
that's
prudent
at
the
price.
Is
it
perfect?
Is
it
saying
that
our
high
schools
are
going
to
start
at
8
30?
J
No,
it
doesn't.
I
get
that,
but
not
in
every
case.
Do
you
get
everything
you
want
in
our
conservative
county?
Yes,
we
I
I
want.
I've
talked
to
many
of
you
all
on
this
issue.
I
believe
in
an
ideal
world
I
went
to
school
at
8
30.
I
got
out
at
3,
3
45,
3
30,
something
like
that
and
in
kindergarten
I
took
a
nap
now
they
don't.
I
don't
think
we
do
that
now,
but
I
didn't
want
to
take
the
nap
then,
and
now
today
I
would
be
blessed
to
have
a
nap.
J
This
is
a
very
serious
issue,
but
and
no
any
of
these
options.
None
of
these
options
are
absolutely
perfect,
but
we
have
got
to
move
off
of
trying
to
make
calls
for
snow
and
cold
weather
at
0,
5,
50
or
whatever
time
it
is
in
order
0,
450
or
whatever
time
it
is,
and
getting
bob
moser's
voice
at
my
house
at
5
15
in
the
morning
we
have
got
to
move
off
of
that
for
the
sake
of
the
winter,
and
so
you
know
if
this
isn't
it.
J
B
N
Just
following
up
on
mr
jackson's
remarks,
the
28
minutes
does
make
a
significant
difference
when
it
comes
to
making
that
call
on
an
inclement
weather
day.
It
makes
a
significant
difference.
Also
28
minutes
makes
a
difference
from
a
safety
standpoint
too
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
miss
corbalak,
but
I
believe
you
looked
at
sunrise
times.
N
E
B
E
I
I
understand
that
our
purchasing
folks
made
contact
with
a
number
of
the
leas.
There
were
no
open
contracts
right
now
that
we
could
piggyback
on.
We
were
able
to
glean
some
information
about
what
they
learned
through
the
process
about
vendors
and
questions
and
narrowing
the
scope
of
the
work
or
enlarging
the
scope
of
his
work.
Whatever
is
needed,
but
there
were
no
contracts
that
we
could
we
could
join
in
on.
Is
that
correct?
Let's
check
which.
J
I
want
to
thank
you
both
for
really
moving
out
on
that.
I
asked
that
question
I
don't
know
maybe
about
a
month
ago
or
so,
and
I
appreciate
you
all
reaching
out
to
other
counties
and
seriously
taking
a
look
at
what
options
were
available
for
us
and
if
there
were
no
options,
maybe
there
was
just
some
learning
that
could
happen.
It
sounds
like
some
of
that
did
happen.
So
thank
you.
L
That
specifically
said
8
30
is
when
they
wanted
schools
to
start
or
8
am,
and
if
we
pass
this
today,
then
we're
just
passing
something
that
doesn't
even
go
by
their
standards
really
and
we're
not
really
following
through
with
it
we're
just
trying
to
kind
of,
I
guess,
put
a
band-aid
on
it.
As
you
said,
miss
burge
we're
just
trying
to
do
something
to
make
everyone
happy,
but
in
the
end
it's
not
really
going
to
do
that.
Much.
J
Would
that
be
a
a
better
recommendation
in
order
to
get
us
up
to
something
closer
to
the
american
pediatrics
and
so
that
it
doesn't
appear
to
be
a
band-aid
solution?
Because
to
me
this
isn't
about
it's
not
about
applying
a
band-aid.
Sometimes
you
can't
eat
an
entire
whopper
sometimes,
and
I
don't
even
eat
them
anymore.
J
Sometimes
you
can
only
take
a
bite
out
of
crime
because
you
can't
solve
all
the
crime
in
one
particular
county.
So
I
I
admit
to
you
I'll,
be
the
first
one
to
admit
to
anyone
on
this
board.
Anyone
in
this
room
or
anybody
on
tv
that
it's
not
perfect,
but
what
we
are
trying
to
do
is
make
sure
that,
within
the
limits
of
the
asking
being
prudent
askers,
as
has
been
said
by
many
of
us
up
here,
what
would
satisfy
the
masses
with
respect
to
the
times?
Because
it's
not
me
trying
to
pacify
anybody.
J
F
I
think
that
the
problem
with
that
is
that
it's
going
to
get
you
back
to
probably
close
to
your
nine
million
dollar
price
tag,
because
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
run
the
same.
Multiple
bus
runs
anymore
because
you're
getting
high
schools
into
middle
school
times
and
middle
schools
into
elementary
school
times
and
basically
you're
you're,
giving
the
direction
without
an
informed
plan,
which
is
what
the
routing
software
will
allow
us
to
do
to
give
us
the
informed
plans.
F
F
F
Okay,
so
so
are
we
going
to
be
able
to
find
enough
bus
drivers
in
this
county
to
run
that
many
bus
runs?
I
mean
I'm.
I've
actually
stayed
up
late
at
night,
worrying
about
this,
that
if
we,
if
we
did
this,
would
we
find
enough
buses
and
bus
drivers
to
to
do
such
a
thing,
because,
because
it
dawned
on
me
at
one
point
that
all
of
a
sudden
their
pay
would
get
cut
in
half
because
they
wouldn't
have
as
many
bus
runs.
I
don't
know
what
your
thoughts
are
on,
that.
H
Well,
even
today,
we
we
face
a
significant
challenge
here
in
anne
arundel
county,
not
just
us,
anne
arundel,
county
schools,
but
our
contractors,
as
well
with
attracting
and
retaining
qualified
bus
drivers.
So
a
bus
driver
of
a
school
bus
has
to
have
a
cdl
license
as
well
as
have
to
have
additional
endorsements
passenger
endorsements,
etc.
So,
even
today
we
scramble
in
the
mornings
sometimes
to
find
enough
permanent
bus
drivers.
They
are
not
paid
very
well.
H
So
it
would
be
a
pretty
large
effort
to
increase
the
the
number
of
of
certified
drivers
that
we
have
here
in
anne
arundel
county
a
so
that's
challenge
a
and
then
b
finding
enough
that
may
be
willing
to
go
through
those
efforts
to
work,
less
less
routes
or
less
hours,
etc.
Because
most
of
these
are
not
full-time,
you
know
they're
paid
essentially
by
the
hour
and
so
the
more
hours
they
can
work.
H
You
know
the
more
lucrative
that
run
is,
and
they
most
contractors
have
sort
of
like
a
seniority
based
system
where
they
bid
it's
sort
of
like
a
tongue-in-cheek
word,
but
they
almost
bid
on
runs
and,
that's
not
to
say
everybody
wants
to
run
with
the
most
hours
in
the
day.
But
the
run
with
the
most
hours
in
the
day
has
the
biggest
paycheck.
H
It
is
a
challenge
today
to
have
enough
certificated
license
folks
staff,
those
buses
each
and
every
day,
and
we
would
have
to
work
with
the
industry
and
the
public
at
large
to
essentially
get
the
word
out,
get
them
to
begin
those
training
classes
in
advance.
To
you
know
begin
to
plan
to
have
those
physicals
those
drug
tests
work
with
dmv
to
get
their
licenses
through
and
the
required
training
completed
to
have
them
lined
up
in
time.
M
I
mean
you've,
you've
done
an
excellent
job
of
of
gaining
the
people
of
advocating
for
your
position
and-
and
I
don't
have
any
issue
with
that.
The
issue
I
have
is
that
whoever
yells
the
loudest
and
is
most
persistent
is
the
one
who
who
wins
and
anything
and
that's
not
a
that's,
not
a
derogatory
thing.
That's
a
positive
thing,
because
that's
what
we
want
people
to
advocate
for
what
they
want.
M
So
the
problem
is
that
if
we
put
this
million-dollar
placeholder,
if
you
will
in
there
is
that,
then
the
county
council
decides
they're
going
to
move
money
in
our
budget,
taking
away
the
authority
of
the
superintendent
to
make
educational
decisions
that
we
need
to
make
within
our
county
number.
One
being
that
we've
really
started
looking
at,
we
want
to
increase
the
the
triple
e
programs
that
we
have
in
in
our
schools,
because
that's
proven
to
work
in
north
county,
the
the
teachers
are,
are
loving
it.
M
The
students
are
loving
it
and
it's
effective
and
it's
working,
and
so
now
what
happens
if
they
decide
they're
going
to
move
money
from
that
and
put
it
to
over
here
that
has
taken
away
our
ability
to
to
meet
the
mandates
that
we
need
to
meet
and
to
reach
the
goals
that
we
as
a
as
a
community
as
a
whole
have
said.
We
want
the
whole
purpose
of
this
routing
software
and
what
I've
heard
numerous
times
is
to
see
where
we
can
make
cost
savings.
M
M
So
if
we
say
well,
no
we're
going
to
do
this
and
we
haven't
even
gotten
the
south,
where
I
I,
I
think
miss
birds.
You
said,
coating
the
cart
before
the
hearse.
That
was
completely
right
out
of
my
mouth.
That's
absolutely
true:
we
need
to
run
the
software
scenarios,
we
need
to
look
at
what's
going
on
and
we
need
to
do
it
right
and
not
do
one
little
piece
at
a
time.
That's
going
to
then
say:
no,
we
we
didn't
want
it
to
be
at
7
47..
M
We
want
it
to
really
be
at
8,
30
or
8
o'clock
or
8,
15
or
or
whatever.
I'm
just
concerned
that
if
we
put
that
money
there
I
mean
it
doesn't
stop
the
county
council
from
doing
what
they
want
to
do
in
the
first
place.
But
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
they
then
take
away
our
ability
to
manage
our
system.
B
N
What
I've
been
hearing
is
a
lot
of
speculation,
though
the
only
research
I've
heard
is
from
miss
chaudry.
Actually,
I
think
we've
all
been
speculating
a
little
too
much
on
this.
What
miss
mr
jackson
and
miss
nally
have
said
is
just
setting
a
limit
upper
limit
and
lower
limit,
and
we
would
have
to
do
that
anyway
for
any
company
that
we
contracted
with.
They
need
to
know
what
our
upper
limit
is
in
our
lower
limit.
N
I
see
no
problem
with
that,
and
everything
I've
read
is
that
the
county
council
was
in
favor
of
moving
start
times,
so
why
continue
to
kick
this?
Can
down
the
road
the
if
they
have
the
software
in-house
and
the
time
frame
that
dr
lotto
was
discussed,
then
we
will
be
able
to
see
what
the
what
it
looks
like
what
we
can
do
once
they
chart
everything
out
within
the
constraints
that
we
give
them
upper
limit
and
lower
limit.
So
I
don't
see
a
problem
with
moving
forward
with
this
as
a
placeholder.
L
N
J
J
J
J
J
However
long
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
has
been
going
to
school,
and
I
don't
believe
that
they'll
fail
us
now,
so
it
you
know
if,
if
745
is
not,
what
we
need
and
eight
is
what
we
need
as
far
as
a
lower
limit,
then
I'm
fine
with
it
I'll
tell
you
what
my
recommendation
originally
was
and
I've
got
it
written
here.
I
sent
it
to
mr
mosher.
J
Last
night
after
he
asked
us
a
second
time
from
this
past
week,
I
had
add
six
million
dollars
in
the
state
category
of
transportation
to
support
half
year
implementation
of
adjusting
school
hours
to
support
later
school
start
times.
So,
if
folks,
don't
like
miss
nelly's,
1.3
million
dollar,
you
know
motion.
J
I
don't
know
what
that
number
is,
but
I
I
venture
to
say,
miss
burge
is
probably
right.
The
number
is
probably
going
to
go
from
1.3
up
to
something
she
said:
eight
nine
million.
What
was
in
option
a
or
so
forth?
So
we
don't
know
what
that
number
is,
but
we
we.
We
will
say
that
that
we
believe
our
analysts
are
some
of
the
most
efficient
analysts
in
figuring
out
what
the
bus
routes
should
be,
and
we
don't
think
there's
a
whole
lot
of
savings
in
that.
J
So
if
we
believe
that
stick
in
six
million
dollars,
it's
only
a
placeholder
until
we
run
some
of
the
scenarios
after
we
get
some
of
the
software,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
we
cannot
continue
to
do
what
we're
doing
to
our
children
today
in
high
school,
and
it
doesn't
just
impact
high
school.
It
also
impacts
the
other
middle
and
elementary
schools.
F
First
of
all,
I
disagree
that
we're
building
our
system
around
the
bus
drivers
I'm
just
pointing
out,
because
I
do
believe
that
there's
a
supply
and
demand
for
for
our
workers
in
this
county
and
if
it's
not
an
attractive
job,
which
I
think
that
this
is
making
it.
You
need
to
work
harder
to
get
the
people
and
you
can't
do
it
real
fast.
They
do
need
a
lot
of
training.
I
don't
know
if
you've
ever
sat
for
a
cdl
test.
I
used
to
work
at
the
mva
it's
hard.
F
F
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
that
luxury,
because
I've
been
told
before
you
can't
put
a
price
tag
on
our
children's
health
and
education.
But
I'll
say
it
again.
There
is
a
price
tag
and
I
told
you
earlier:
I
have
a
price
tag
on
a
whole
bunch
of
other
things
that
I
would
really
love
to
do.
Had
nine
eighteen
point,
five
million
dollars
of
other
things
that
are
research
based.
That
would
be
excellent
to
do
for
our
children's
education,
they're,
really
great
things
putting
enough
teachers
in
the
classroom.
F
F
And,
like
miss
richie
said
we
need
to
make
the
decisions
about
what's
going
to
make
the
most
impact
for
our
children
here
at
the
board
level.
Our
superintendent
has
said.
I
would
like
to
run
this
software
for
a
year
and
figure
out
since
we've
been
told
this
is
a
priority.
What's
the
best
way
to
do
it,
I
don't
want
to
do
it
haphazardly.
F
L
I
agree
the
reason
I
had
mr
webb
say
that
to
me
was
because
he's
looking
at
it
from
a
completely
safety
standpoint.
He
doesn't
want
kids
out
there
in
the
dark
and
the
reason
we
were
originally
looking
at.
This
was
because
we
want
safer
school
start
times
and
that's
why
I
feel
like
I'm
not
against
school
start
times.
I
support
them,
but
we
have
to
do
it
the
correct
way,
which
is
looking
at
all
the
information
and
dr
alado.
That's
what
he
wants
to
do.
L
He
wants
to
get
the
transportation
software
which
we're
gonna
get
and
we're
gonna
get
we're
gonna
have
all
the
information
once
we
have
that
and
we're
gonna
be
able
to
make
a
better
solution
than
what
I
think
is
proposed
here.
So
that's
why
I'm
gonna
go
against
this
amendment
and
any
other
amendment
we
make
today,
because
if
we
just
make
another
amendment
today,
eight
o'clock
to
meet
the
apa
american
pediatrics
association
requirements
and
setting
that
as
the
standard,
I
feel
like
we're
going
to
be
making
this
decision
very
hastily.
L
B
N
Again,
there's
a
lot
of
speculation
going
on
up
here.
I
don't
really
see
where
there's
a
conflict
in
what
we're
discussing,
we
can
appropriate
the
software.
We
can
run
the
scenarios
it's
in
within
the
time
frame
where
ms
manali
has
said
for
the
2016
school
year,
so
we
should
know
the
results
prior
to
the
2016
school
year.
Additionally,
if
I'm
looking
at
it
from
a
safety
standpoint,
that's
part
of
keeping
kids
healthy,
having
them
in
a
safe
environment
and
that's
one
of
our
prerogatives:
a
safe
and
secure
environment
for
our
children.
N
One
thing
we
know
for
sure
the
sun
is
up
by
7
45
and
it
doesn't
go
down
before
5
45
or
4
45.
So
those
are
our
limits,
pure
and
simple.
If
we
want
to
keep
our
kids
in
a
safety
zone
as
far
as
catching
the
bus
to
come
to
school
and
catching
a
bus
to
leave
school,
I
see
no
problem
with
setting
those
parameters.
F
B
I
would
just
like
to
talk
to
this
amendment
briefly
and
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
start
by
saying
that
I
don't
have
a
dog
in
this
fight.
My
daughter
will
have
graduated
from
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
before
we
would
ever
implement
later
start
times
in
the
2016-17
school
year,
but
I
do-
and
I
have
made
note-
that
the
chesapeake
regional
association
of
student
councils
voted
on
december
3rd
2014
60
of
the
students
wanted
us
to
adopt
one
of
the
four
options
presented
by
the
task
force.
B
We
also
had
a
stakeholder
survey
online
with
1593
responses
and
59
percent
wanted
one
of
the
four
options
and
another
eight
percent
wanted
us
to
explore.
Yet
additional
options,
only
33
percent
did
not
want
any
change.
We
also
have
the
maryland
department
of
health
and
mental
hygiene
that
has
asked
us
to
consider
this.
We
have
the
american
academy
of
pediatrics
that
has
asked
us
to
consider
this.
We
have
the
county
council
that
has
asked
us
to
consider
this.
We
had
our
county
executive
express
his
support
for
later
start
times.
B
B
I
think
what
mrs
nelly's
motion
is
doing
is
exactly
kind
of
protecting
us
from
exactly
what
mr
scheck
novus
and
mrs
burge
are
concerned
about.
If
we
don't
have
money
in
the
fy
16
budget
to
purchase
and
contract
for
buses
say
in
may
or
june
of
2016.,
we
aren't
going
to
be
able
to
start
this
in
august
of
2016.,
so
we'd
be
looking
at
second
semester,
2017
or
the
2017-18
school
year.
B
He
believes
if
we're
able
to
purchase
the
software
in
the
spring
late
spring
of
this
year,
it's
possible
that
the
routing
software
could
bring
other
scenarios
to
the
board
options,
efg
h
to
this
board
by
the
end
of
this
calendar
year.
We
would
we
could
sit
here
next
february
and
offer
amendments
to
his
operating
budget
in
order
to
do
what
we
need
to
do.
B
J
Yes,
ms
corbin,
I
appreciate
you
laying
out
all
of
those
facts
relative
to
folks's
opinions,
as
well
as
other
organizations
that
have
asked
us
to
take
up
this
issue.
Bottom
line
is
this
issue
is
not
going
away,
it
is
not
going
away,
and
sooner
we
address
this
issue.
We
can
move
on
to
other
items,
important
items
as
well,
that
this
board
has
to
consider.
D
I
want
to
make
note
that
this
amendment
provides
funding
for
10
additional
buses
to
transport,
non-public
students
and
13
additional
buses
to
transport
students
to
accommodate
the
parameters
of
the
school
day.
Detailed
in
the
motion,
a
28-minute
shift
in
all
comprehensive
high
schools,
so
they
start
at
seven
no
later
than
7
45
no
earlier
excuse
me
a
28-minute
shift
in
all
other
schools
except
hebron,
hebron,
harmon
elementary
and
evening
high
school
campuses,
a
to
be
determined
shift
so
that
hebron
harmon
ends
at
or
before
420,
and
a
to
to
be
determined
shift
for
evening.
D
H
A
A
M
H
The
capitalization
cost
of
the
bus
plus
the
fuel
plus
the
driver
when
they're
buying
when
a
company
buys
a
bus.
A
bus
per
state
of
maryland
regulations
has
a
useful
life
of
12
years,
so
they're
buying
the
bus
on
the
front
side
and
then
hoping
that
across
the
12-year
time
span,
they
recover
the
cost
of
that
bus
plus
are
able
to
cover
the
maintenance.
The
labor
cost,
the
fuel
costs,
and
since
they
are
for
profit
private
companies,
they
would
hope
to
possibly
turn
a.
M
Profit
at
the
end
of
the
day
as
well.
That's
what
businesses
do!
The
the
question
is,
if
I
heard
mr
black
correctly
one
of
the
reasons
the
rationales
for
for
putting
this
motion
forward
was
so
that
we
were
able
to
then
be
able
to
go
out
and
purchase
the
buses
to
be
able
to
put
the
orders
in
to
be
able
to
say
that
we're
looking
towards
that
and
so
forth,
because
which
is
a
lot
less
of
a
number
sixty
thousand
times
five.
Is
that
what
you
said?
M
That
and-
and
the
fact
is,
if
we're
looking
at
you
know,
if
we're
looking
at
being
able
to
put
a
money,
a
monetary
amount
in
there
to
be
able
to
get
buses,
but-
and
I
don't
want
to
amend
this
motion
to
do
that.
The
the
other
issue
is
is
that
I
fully
understand
that,
if
not
now
when,
but
the
other
part
of
it
is,
is
that
we
haven't
run
the
scenarios.
M
We
don't
know
what
the
impact
is
going
to
be,
and
I'm
not
willing
to
take
the
chance
that
that
other
things
won't
be
cut
from
our
budget
or
move
from
our
budget
to
to
satisfy
this
one
piece,
because
the
fact
is,
we
have
to
make
tough
decisions
and
I'm
not
willing
to
do
that.
I'm
willing
to
maybe
give
300
000
as
a
placeholder
to
get
five
buses,
but
I'm
not
willing
to
to
go
for
a
million
dollars.
B
L
I
would
just
like
to
clarify
something
that
ms
corblak
said.
She
said
that
krask,
which
is
a
chesapeake
regional
association
of
student
councils,
voted
40
for
not
having
any
change
in
school
start
times
and
60
voted
for
having
change
in
school
start
times,
but
those
60
that
did
vote
on
changing
the
school
start
times.
They
did
not
vote
on
this
amendment
right
here.
L
They
voted
on
the
other
amendments
or
the
other
options,
so
this
wasn't
presented
to
them
and
if
we're
looking
at
it
from
a
student
viewpoint,
I
don't
know
how
many
of
them
would
support
it.
I
think
you
would
have
a
lot
more.
That
would
probably
not
support
it
if
you
already
had
40
to
40
percent
that
weren't
going
to
support
it
anyway,
so
I
don't
think
if
we're
looking
at
what
the
students
want,
I
don't
think
this
is
something
that
they
would
support.
So
that's
also
why
I'm
not
going
to
support
it.
B
H
F
H
H
O
H
Assist
buses.
Many
of
our
non-public
students
do
not
require
that
type
of
bus.
They
can
be
transported
suitably
on
a
conventional
bus,
so
this
is
not
for
the
lift
assist
buses.
This
is
for
a
conventional
trans,
transportation
style
bus.
The
cost
for
a
lift
assist
bus
would
be
significantly
more
than
the
numbers
presented
here.
We
don't
comp,
we
don't
not
contemplate
having
to
add
additional
lift
assist
buses
to
the
aacps
fleet.
This
would
be
all
handled
externally
through
contracted
opportunities.
H
H
We
bid
we
bid
the
contracts
out
over
the
course
of
the
winter
time.
Most
of
the
manufacturers
have
to
place
their
orders
for
buses,
probably
no
later
than
february,
if
they
even
hope
to
get
the
buses
fabricated
and
through
the
dmv
inspection
and
license
and
tag
process
to
get
them
in
time
for
august.
So
you
would,
as
miss
corblak
indicated
earlier,
you
would
actually
have
to
have
money
in
the
15
budget
to
provide
essentially
that
the
assurances
to
the
industry
that
go
ahead.
H
You
know
we
would
bid
the
service,
but
ultimately
they
would
need
to
have
time
to
put
the
chassis
and
the
engine
orders
into
the
assembly
line
process.
They
would
need
to
begin
that
recruitment
and
training
and
driver
dmv
certification
process.
That's
why
I
said
the
industry
needs
time
to
you
know
prepare
for
this.
Just
like
we
need
time
to
prepare
for
this,
but.
B
M
So,
basically,
we
need
money
for
buses,
not
for
scenarios
but
money
for
buses,
because
we
don't
know
what
the
scenarios
look
like.
It
may
look
like
this.
It
may
look
like
something
different.
We
may
need
it
for
a
public
education.
We
made,
I
mean
not
non-public
education,
you
know
transporting
the
kids
to
like
it
said
to
maryland
school
football
and
so
forth,
and
we
may
not
so
really.
What
we
need
is
money
for
buses
to
have
something
in
there.
M
Should
we
decide
that
once
we
get
the
software
we're
going
to
run
and
we're
going
to
need
seven
buses
to
be
able
to
make
you
know
just
pick
a
number.
I
mean
you
know
that
those
kind
of
different
scenarios
would
that
be
fair
to
say,
we
need
money
for
buses,
because
this
million
includes
more
than
just
buses.
P
B
The
way
the
calculation
was
arrived
at
for
the
23
buses
was
looking
at
the
sunrise
and
sunset
times
to
try
to
make
sure
the
students
were
our
latest
elementary
school.
Hybrid
harbin
would
still
get
on
the
bus
and
they
were
the
outlier,
and
so
we
needed
to
procure
13
buses
for
them
to
make
sure
that
they
were
back
on
the
bus
and
home
before
5
or
4
54..
M
When
we,
when
this
task
force
met,
did
they
run
any
scenarios
in
terms
of
the
change
in
the
traffic
pattern?
I
know
that
if
I
leave
my
house
10
minutes
later,
it
throws
me
completely
off
because
the
amount
of
traffic
I
mean,
I'm
amazed
that
sometimes
I
leave
there's
like
no
traffic
on
the
road
and
then
I
realized
I
left
earlier
and
if
I
leave
at
a
different
time.
M
E
My
understanding
this
richie
is
is
many
of
those
things
were
talked
about
now.
Did
they
were
all
of
the
possible
options
run
for
then
costing
out?
No,
but
but
looking
at
traffic
patterns
on
mountain
road
and
in
certain
parts
of
the
county,
where,
if
you
start
to
change
a
pickup
time
of
four
o'clock
versus
430
or
415
verse,
445
part
of
that
was
the
discussion
over
the
seven
month
period
that
that
the
task
force
looked
at.
O
Q
Q
Q
While
our
goal
is
not
to
please
the
bus
drivers,
they'd
probably
be
happier
you
know
with
the
later
start
time.
Also,
I
don't
know
what
time
a
bus
driver
has
to
leave
their
house
to
get
to
the
bus
to
at
that
lot,
to
warm
it
up
and
make
sure
it's
ready
at
their
first
bus
stop.
But
I
think
that
we
have
to
keep
in
mind
that
this
is
an
investment
and
we'll
see
rewards
for
years
on
end
by
making
this
change
and
making
it
a
healthier
start
time
for
our
students.
O
Hello,
my
name
is
melissa
stanton
I
live
in
davidsonville,
I
have
a
child
at
south
river
high
school
and
a
daughter
at
central
middle.
I
just
want
to
say
lots
of
talk
today.
There's
been
lots
of
talk
about
closing
the
achievement
gap
and
that's
great
and
that's
essential,
but
our
high
school
start
times
for
many
kids
is
causing
an
achievement
gap.
I
know
that's
been
happening
for
my
son.
O
O
You
all
know
that
it's
time
to
start
school
later
and
figure
out
a
way
to
do
it,
either
with
the
funds
you
have
or
with
the
help
of
the
anne
arundel
county
county
council,
which
recently
unanimous
unanimously
supported
starting
school
leaders
and
buying
the
transportation
software
this
year
and
getting
this
done
soon,
so
whatever
you
guys
can
figure
out
to
get
done,
ideally
for
next
school
year.
If
not,
you
know
with
miss
miss
lilly
for
the
following
school
year,
but
you
know
you've
had
20
years.
O
R
So
whether
or
not
we
spend
that
money
on
this
is
quite
trivial.
But
what
I
think
is
the
most
important
subject
matter
here
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
we
should
consider
starting
school
later
is
academic
achievement,
actually
isn't
that
the
most
important
subject
that
we're
always
talking
about
is
an
academic
achievement.
R
What
drives
the
budget,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
there
have
been
a
number
of
academic
studies
that
have
strongly
suggested
in
so-called
peer-review
literature,
and
I
am
a
scientist
and
I
read
and
respect
peer
review
literature,
and
I
would
hope
that
you
would
read
it
and
make
a
determination
on
the
facts
not
on
opinions
and
not
whether
or
not
we
should
have
bus
drivers
start
at
a
particular
time.
So
I'm
hoping
that
you
will
come
up
with
the
money
so
that
we
can
purchase
a
piece
of
software.
R
S
I'm
kari
oakes
with
a
frog
in
my
throat.
Sorry
I
live
in
annapolis
and
the
first
thing
I
want
to
say
is
thank
you
to
all
of
you,
even
the
people
who
I
think
are
going
to
be
on
the
other
side
of
the
fence
from
us,
because
in
meeting
with
each
of
you
individually,
I
will
say
that
I
really
got
a
strong
sense
of
how
much
you
care
about
the
students
in
this
county.
S
How
hard
you
work
and
how
strongly
you
feel
this
notion
of
competing
interests,
and
I
left
those
meetings
encouraged
in
one
sense
but
sad
in
another,
and
I
was
sad
because
I'm
really
afraid
that
we're
coming
from
a
point
of
view
of
feeling
feeling,
scarcity
and
feeling
as
though
you
don't
have
the
resources
behind
you
that
you
do
because
miss
burns.
One
thing
I
want
to
tell
you
is
that
we
are
not
just
single
issue:
parents.
S
All
of
us
who
are
here
are
members
of
the
community,
the
hairdressers,
the
pediatricians,
the
nurses,
the
grandmas,
the
grandpas,
the
moms
of
preschoolers,
who
care
enough
about
this
issue
to
put
in
time
also
go
to
church.
Also
shovel
neighbors
driveways
also
volunteer
in
their
schools,
advocate
for
english
language
learners
in
their
schools,
and
so
we're
part
of
this
community,
and-
and
so
I
appreciate
the
honest
dialogue
that
I've
been
able
to
have
with
all
of
you,
even
some
of
you
who
don't
agree
with
what's
on
the
table
today.
S
S
So
we
know
that
even
20
minutes
of
change
makes
a
difference
in
student
mood
in
student,
mental
and
physical
health
and
in
student
achievement,
and
so
it
might
not
be
enough,
but
it's
enough
to
make
a
difference.
So
it's
something
we
should
think
about.
The
third
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
we're
not
going
at
breakneck
pace
here.
There
are
people
in
this
room
that
have
been
at
this
for
way
way
way
longer
than
I
have
task
force
has
finished
its
work
in
august
of
2013
strong
work.
Dr
mcmahon
worked
really
hard
on
it.
S
We
have
everything
in
place
in
2007
and
again
in
2013.
The
office
of
legislative
audits
cited
this
group
for
not
having
the
transportation
routing
software
that
now
we're
in
a
big
hurry
to
buy.
We
can't
change
where
we
are
now,
but
that's
something
that
could
have
been
remediated
earlier
and
there's
no
reason
not
to
move
quickly.
The
last
thing
I
want
to
say
is
we're
here
with
you.
I
just
have
a
few
seconds.
We
will
go
with
you.
We
will
advocate
for
early
education.
We
will
advocate
for
english
language
learners.
S
T
Hi,
I'm
tara,
zapporan
snyder,
and
some
of
you
know
me
all
too
well,
I
am
a
former
aacps
parent.
Two
of
my
daughters
were
the
student
members
of
the
board
and
the
third
one
is
now
a
college
sophomore.
So
this
issue
is
over
for
me,
but
I
keep
coming
back.
I
keep
swearing,
I
won't,
but
I
do
because
I
care
so
deeply
about
it.
T
I
care
about
education
in
general
and
I
really
care
about
health
and
safety,
because
I'm
a
medical
writer
by
profession
and
a
medical
historian
and
I've
been
looking
at
this
issue,
not
just
from
aacps's
perspective,
but
from
the
perspective
of
the
entire
nation.
I
now
lead
start
school
later,
which
is
a
national
non-profit,
and
I
spent
last
week
going
around
to
the
house
and
senate
office
buildings
talking
to
legislators
on
a
national
level.
There
will
be
national
legislation
introduced
in
march
about
this
issue.
There
will
be
state
legislation
introduced.
T
T
So
when
you
talk
about
we're
moving
too
fast,
I
I
can't
understand
that,
because
you
know
simply
saying
that
a
current
plan
isn't
perfect
is
no
reason
not
to
make
a
small
improvement.
You
have
the
opportunity
to
do
that
right.
Now.
I've
been
looking
at
at
schools
all
over
the
country
who
have
done
this
and
the
ones
who
do
it
successfully
always
start
by
making
a
goal.
Just
as
this
amendment
is
by
saying
this
is
what
we'd
like
to
achieve.
Yes,
miss
burge.
There
are
serious
problems
that
people
might
have
with
the
change.
T
These
need
to
be
taken
into
account.
We
need
to
work
with
the
community.
The
communities
that
have
resolved
this
successfully
have
made
a
commitment
to
doing
it
because
they
know
it's
important
and
then
they
work
with
people
to
find
a
way
to
do
it.
The
software
will
help
us
find
ways
to
do
it
efficiently.
It
can
numbers
have
come,
come
down
astronomically
in
fairfax
county,
for
example,
when
they
use
software
to
find
efficient
ways
to
run
buses.
T
They
worked
with
teachers,
they
worked
with
parents,
they
worked
with
students
who
were
concerned
about
their
after-school
jobs
and
whether
they
get
their
homework
done
and
they
found
ways
to
do
it,
and
we
don't
need
to
speculate,
because
we've
seen
that
these
fears
can
be
resolved
but
number
one.
We
must
commit
to
doing
it
and
you
have
the
chance
to
do
that
today.
I
really
hope
you
will.
I
don't
want
to
keep
talking
to
you
about
this,
but
I
do
appreciate
that
you're
taking
it
seriously
and
thank
you.
B
And
mr
frank,
I
also
wanted
to
just
mention
that
as
an
academic,
I
read
peer-reviewed
publications
as
well,
and
I
do
have
the
one
from
the
american
academy
of
pediatrics
with
me
and
you're.
Absolutely
right.
It
says
adolescents
who
get
enough
sleep,
have
a
reduced
risk
of
being
overweight
or
suffering.
Depression
are
less
likely
to
be
involved
in
automobile
accidents
and
have
better
grades
higher
standardized
test
scores
and
an
overall,
better
quality
of
life.
R
B
B
M
And
I
just
want
to
be
clear:
it's
not
that
I
don't
believe
this
needs
to
occur.
It
does
need
to
occur.
We
do
need
to
to
look
at
this,
but
I
also
don't
want
to
do
one
of
those
things
where
we
get
locked
into.
This
is
the
way
we're
supposed
to
do
it
and
that's
the
only
way
we
can
do
it
and-
and
that
happened
in
that
and
hap
I'm
not
basing
that
on
just
my
supposition.
M
I've
seen
it
happen
time
and
time
again,
and
so,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
I
was
around
miss
snyder
sitting
out
there
with
you
in
the
audience
many
times
when
they
had
that
discussion
and
all
I
kept
thinking
was.
Thank
god.
It's
not
me,
so
you
know
karma
has
a
way
of
getting
you,
but
but
the
fact
is
is
that,
because
there
was
nobody,
you
know
they
didn't
sit
down
and
do
it
in
a
methodical
way.
M
They
got
to
a
point
where
50
said
yes,
50
said
no,
so
the
board
said
no
and
that
that
was
the
end
of
it
and
moved
on.
We
have
a
plan,
everybody
keeps
saying
you
know.
If
you
have
a
plan,
we
have
a
plan.
This
is
this
is
a
part
of
it,
but
the
plan
is
to
get
the
software
to
look
at
the
scenarios
to
start
looking
at
that
and
to
start
really
methodically
figuring
out
what
works
best
for
our
kids
and
what
works
best
for
all
kids.
M
When
we're
talking
about
health
and
safety,
we're
talking
a
multitude
of
issues,
we
added
a
psychologist,
that's
health
and
safety.
You
know
we,
it's
not
a
matter
of
one
against
the
other,
it's
about.
How
do
we
make
it
happen
in
a
way
that's
going
to
occur,
we've
been
told
we're
not
getting
more
maintenance
of
effort.
Why
we
we're
making
these
amendments
and
they're
going
to
crunch
all
our
numbers
and
tell
us
how
much
more
over
we
are.
That's
going
to
happen.
B
Okay,
I
don't,
I
don't
have
any
more
lights
and
we
don't
have
any
more
public
comments.
So
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
That's
been
properly
made
and
seconded
to
add
1
million
385
152
allocated
in
the
appropriate
state
categories
to
shift
current
school
hours
to
ensure
that
no
school
starts
before
7
45
and
no
comprehensive,
elementary
or
middle
ends
after
4
20.,
and
that
the
hours
be
adjusted
accordingly
and
become
effective
no
later
than
the
start
of
the
2016-17
school
year.
All
those
in
favor
opposed
motion
feels
4
3.
D
F
M
And
if
we
say
that
we're
going
to
go
to
4
30
or
if
we
say
we're
only
going
to
go
to
410
or
whatever
it
becomes
it,
and
and
I'm
not
willing
to
do
that,
I'm
willing
to
put
600
000
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
a
secure
place
for
buses
to
be
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
starting
school
later.
But
I'm
not
willing
to
put
in
times.
M
B
M
B
O
J
Mr
jackson,
I
think
you
answered
my
question.
The
key
for
me
is
to
make
sure
we
can
get
in
no
later
than
the
start
of
the
2016-2017
school
year,
because
I
don't
I
don't
want
it
unended.
If
we're
going
to
get
rid
of
time
specific,
then
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that
language
is
there,
because
the
whole
focus
of
us
doing
it
now
is
so
that
we
can
impact
the
immediate
future
budget
cycle.
E
E
E
So
I've
heard
some
strong
parameters
that
some
of
the
board
members
want,
which
I
absolutely
can
appreciate
but
understand,
putting
a
place
full
of
600
000
is
not
then
a
year
from
now
going
to
accommodate
the
shifts
that
I
think
everybody
is
looking
for.
It's
going
to
be
considerably
more
than
that,
and
I
want
that
to
be
part
of
the
consideration
as
you
move
forward.
D
D
I
would
never
we.
I
would
never
support
any
elementary
school.
Any
motion
that
would
even
on
the
outlier
suggest
that
any
elementary
school
should
be
out
past
420.
I
I
think
420.
I
is
too
late
that
was
as
late
as
that
with
the
hope
I
had
was
that
the
software
would
enable
us
to
to
work
with
that
and
move
them
up
absolutely
not.
E
And
and
certainly
you're
right,
it
may
right
and
as
miss
core
black
stated
earlier,
we've
got
options
a
b,
c
and
d
from
the
the
great
work
of
the
seven
months
of
the
task
force
and-
and
it
certainly
may
contribute
with
the
new
software-
we
might
learn
more
from
it
right.
We
want
to
be
data
oriented.
We
want
to
learn
what
we
can
from
this
software
and
it
might
give
and
give
us
options
on
efgnh.
E
We
don't
know
that,
but
if
you're
talking
about
a
single
placeholder
of
a
little
little
over
six
hundred
thousand
dollars,
that
will
get
you
the
non-public
transportation
needed,
because
now
we're
gonna
have
to
do
single
runs
out
to
the
non-public.
So
we
have
to
buy
those
routes
at
sixty
thousand
dollars
a
piece.
So
if
we
wanna,
then
that's
the
starting
place.
E
So
as
we
look
to
shift
times,
we
start
a
base,
is
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
because
of
the
non-public
transportation,
which
is
absolutely
right
and
appropriate,
and
then
we'll
have
to
build
from
there
on
any
other
parameters.
The
board
so
chooses
to
set,
which
is
again
fine.
But
I
want
the
board
to
be
considering
that
the
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
is
a
base.
E
M
I
understand
about
that
because
I
don't.
I
don't
really
want
him
to
get
out
past
four
o'clock.
You
know,
because
when
we're
talking
about
daylight
we're
talking
about
traffic,
we're
talking
about
those
kind
of
things,
I
really
don't
want
them
to
get
out
past
four
o'clock,
and-
and
the
fact
is-
is
that
we
don't
know
what
the
software
is
going
to
run.
Not
only
that
there's
nothing
to
stop
us
from
saying
and
implementing
increments
of
the
way
we
do
stuff.
M
The
fact
of
the
matter
is:
if
the
bundy's-
not
there,
the
money's,
not
there,
so
you
got
nothing.
So
you
know
that's
one
thing:
there's
no
reason
that
we
can't
do
this
in
a
tiered
way.
So
I
mean
you
know
we
we
we're
saying
we
have
to
do
it
all
or
nothing
well.
What
says
that
we
can't
go
15
minutes
this
year
with
the
look
towards
going
another
15
minutes,
another
15,
to
get
us
to
the
place
we
want
to
be.
M
I
don't
know
I'm
more
willing
to
vote
for
six
hundred
thousand
dollars
as
a
place
holder
for
buses
to
be
able
to
do
stuff
now,
as
opposed
to
looking
for
a
million
dollars
taken
out
of
early
education,
I'm
not
willing
to
do
a
million
dollars.
I
mean
I
voted
that
way.
I
don't
really
want
to
do
this
either,
but
in
light
of
the
fact
that
you
know
we
can
you
know
we
can
ask
for
something.
I'd
rather
ask
for
this
than
ask
for
nothing
and
that
doesn't
stop
us
from
doing
something
later
on.
U
A
B
B
U
B
B
J
J
Excuse
me
for
a
second
story
design
and
build
to
the
already
addition
in
design
for
eastport
elementary
school
and
the
appropriate
capital
project
and
I'll
be
doing
a
separate
one,
but
also
for
georgetown
east
and
the
point
of
those
two
motions
are
to
help
us
address
the
issues
relative
to
overcrowding
in
tyler
heights
and
the
redistricting
that
we're
going
to
be
going
through
of
that
entire
annapolis,
annapolis
and
and
eastport
area.
So.
N
J
H
M
M
H
Been
the
ed
specs,
the
schematic
designs,
design
developments
have
already
been
approved
by
this
board.
They've
all
been
reviewed
by
the
state
of
maryland.
The
interagency
committee
on
school
construction
and
the
state
board
of
public
works
has
already
approved
the
addition.
The
3.6
million
dollar
edition
you
would
be.
We
would
be
withdrawing
that
request
from
the
state
and
then
we
would
go
back
to
the
state
next
year,
starting
from
scratch,
asking
for
a
six
point:
six
million
dollar
project
that
he's
working.
M
M
H
Right,
it's
my
understanding
that
mr
jackson
is
seeking
to
double
the
size
of
the
addition
that
was
previously
acted
upon
three
times
by
this
board
and
three
times
by
the
state,
and
the
only
way
to
go
about
doing
that
is.
We
would
have
to
notify
the
state
that
we
are
no
longer
pursuing
the
project.
We
would
withdraw
our
request.
The
monies
that
were
allocated
to
eastport
would
get
likely
dispensed
to
some
other
project
or
some
other
county,
and
then
we
would
start
from
scratch
after
july.
A
F
J
Mr
jackson,
yeah
just
a
quick,
clear
question
for
clarification:
do
would
we
in
fact
have
to
withdraw
what
we
already
have
in
motion
from
the
state,
as
opposed
to
putting
this
in
the
county
request
for
the
county
to
fully
fund
with
respect
to
bonds
and
other
things
that
already
currently
fund
school
construction?
The
the
county
side
of
school
construction.
S
J
No
before
we
vote
I'll
I'll
remove
the
my
motion,
because
I
did
not
have
the
information
that
we
have
to
re,
we
have
to
take
it
from
the
state
or
remove
it
from
the
state.
It
was
my
understanding
that
I
thought
we
could
ask
for
the
additional
dollars
straight
to
the
county
and
the
county
could
fund
those,
but
the
staff
is
saying
that
they
cannot
do
that.
J
D
F
A
F
So
the
problem,
then,
at
a
school
like
eastport
and
I'm
sure
we
have
others
in
the
same
situation-
are
that
they
have
more
teachers
available
because
of
their
title,
one
funds,
but
they
have
fewer
classroom.
They
don't
have
as
many
classrooms
to
put
them
in,
but
we
don't
have,
but
we
can't
build
them
a
bigger
school
just
because
they
have
more
teachers,
because
it's
based
on
how
many
students
they
have
not
on
how
many
teachers
they
have
for
those
students.
Yes,.
F
F
Other
other
other
districts
are
having
this
issue
as
well,
so,
okay,
that
that
explains
a
lot
for
me,
because
you
know
I
I
keep
hearing
about
it
and
you
know
looking
at
the
plans
and
I'm
like
well,
why
are
they
so
crowded?
And
it's
because
of
their
ratios
and
things
like
that,
because
they've
bought
additional
positions
with
their
title?
One
money
and
the
space
is
still
the
same
as
it
would
be
for
any
other
school
in
the
county.
That's.
H
J
The
other
one
is
for
the
other
school
that's
going
along
the
exact
same
track,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
in
two
years,
whether
we
get
a
contract
school
down
here
or
not
we're
going
to
look
back
at
the
failed
opportunity
to
be
able
to
have
a
full
two
set.
Two
schools
have
a
full
second
deck
to
be
able
to
serve
as
children.
Thank
you
because
tyler
heights,
elementary
school
is
not
going
to
get
built
for
another
four
five,
six,
seven,
eight
nine
ten
years.
B
E
E
B
J
Yes
ma'am:
this
is
a
policy
that
at
second
read
excuse
me
at
first
reading.
I
said
I
would
not
be
supporting
and
I
won't
be
supporting
it
today
or
voting
for
it,
because
I
I
believe
that
it
takes
a
tool
off
the
table
for
our
community
to
engage
on
this
very
important
issue,
as
well
as
the
historical
context
of
being
able
to
honor
people
that
have
done
extraordinary
work
in
our
education
system
in
our
community
and
in
other
ways.
Thank
you
very
much.
F
I
don't
see
any
reason
for
us
to
to
name
buildings
after
people.
I
think
I
think
it's
a
good.
I
think
it's
a
good
idea,
and
I
think
that
we
should
move
forward
with
this,
and
actually
it's
not
our
policy.
That
does
that.
That
is
in
the
regulation.
Our
policy
is
actually
very
general
and
it
allows
the
the
superintendent
to
make
those
sorts
of
decisions,
and
it's
in
the
regulation
that
those
decisions
are
made.
So
I
fully
support
this.
This
policy
and
the
attached
regulation.
B
N
N
He's
got
a
credentials
out
this
long,
but
he
didn't
get
a
name
on
on
a
building
here.
What
I'm
trying
to
say
is:
we've
got
a
lot
of
people
in
our
area
that
have
made
significant
contributions
to
education
to
the
community
as
a
whole,
and
I
believe
the
community
should
have
an
opportunity
to
name
the
buildings
in
their
in
their
communities
if
they
so
choose
and
not
be
left
up
to
this
board
to
to
determine
that
as
long
as
it
meets
certain
parameters
and
guidelines.
N
For
example,
miss
birds
mentioned
she'd
heard
about
some
schools,
where
they'd
had
some
incidents
where
people
buildings
were
named
after
people
that
later
they
found
were
disreputable
characters.
I
think
we
can
put
in
safeguards
to
avoid
that
situation,
so
I
will
be
voting
against
this.
This
policy.
V
Good
afternoon
good
afternoon
steven
to
let
anne
arundel
county
branch
naacp,
when
I
heard
about
this
policy,
I
didn't
pay
much
attention
to
it
at
first.
But
then
a
couple
of
people
came
to
me
with
their
concerns
and
I've
had
conversation
with
a
couple
of
you,
and
this
seems
like
a
solution.
That's
looking
for
a
problem
kind
of
like
some
of
the
legislation.
That's
been
popping
up
around
the
country
in
response
to
voter
fraud
when
there
is
no
voter
fraud.
So
it's
a
solution.
V
Looking
for
a
problem,
if
there's
a
person,
that's
made
exceptional
contributions
to
our
community
and
naming
the
school
seems
appropriate
for
them.
We
should
have
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
do
that,
whether
it's
a
wing
or
a
library
or
the
entire
building,
and
if
there's
a
situation
where
there's
been
a
significant
fall
from
grace
in
the
life
of
an
individual
for
whom
the
school
was
named,
bill
cosby
elementary
school
or
ben
roethlisberger
high
school
comes
to
mind.
V
If
that
happens,
then
take
their
name
off,
but
I
don't
think
that
we
should
prophylactically
punish
folks
that
deserve
to
be
honored
in
the
interest
of
the
the
the
rare
likelihood,
the
rare
instances
where
we
might
have
to
take
a
name
off
of
a
building.
So
I
oppose
this
legislation
and
I'm
urging
you
to
do
the
same.
B
J
B
J
Yes,
ma'am.
I
would
like
to,
as
the
chair
of
the
policy
committee,
take
this
policy
and
regulation
back
to
the
policy
committee
revisit
it
with
with
some
some
guidance
and
some
thoughts
relative
to
this
board,
of
which
we
can
have
a
conversation
and
and
take
another
look
at
both
the
regulation
and
the
policy.
In
light
of
the
current
vote,
man.
B
E
B
B
W
Good
afternoon,
okay,
this,
as
you
recall
from
last
time
section
one
are
bills
that
I
will
ask
for
your
you
to
take
a
vote
or
a
position
on
section.
Two
is
just
for
your
information
in
section
three,
your
position
has
already
been
established
by
the
two
thousand
or
2015
legislative
program
that
you
approved
in
november,
starting
with
the
first
bill
on
your
sheet.
Hb
44.
W
Essentially,
this
bill
requires
that
parents
of
a
child
with
an
iep
or
a
family
service
plan
may
have
a
document,
that's
related
to
the
iep
and
the
iep
and
the
family
service
plan,
translate
it
within
30
days
after
the
date
of
the
request.
We
are
asking
that
you
oppose
this
bill.
We
feel
that
we
are
already
providing
quite
a
bit
of
services
as
far
as
to
parents
who
don't
speak
english
as
a
first
language,
they
are
provided
interpreters
at
the
iep
meetings.
W
There
would
be
an
enormous
fiscal
impact
to
this
requirement
and
we're
not
quite
sure
that
this
mandate
would
actually
be
the
most
effective
way
to
assist
families
where
english
is
not
a
first
language,
for
instance
translations
with
terms
of
art
and
education.
Sometimes
don't
translate
to
all
dialects
in
a
way
that
one
could
understand.
Additionally,
we
don't
know
if
the
parents
with
those
documents
would
actually
find
them
helpful
if
they,
you
know,
have
trouble
reading
in
their
own
home
language,
which
we've
talked
about
as
this
board.
F
Just
want
to
say
that
everyone
knows
that
I'm
a
strong
supporter
of
you
know
providing
as
much
as
we
as
much
support
as
we
can
to
our
international
community,
but
this
I
think
this
does
go
too
far
and
it's
actually
having
us
waste
resources
that
we
could
be
better
using
other
ways.
And
so
I
will
be
opposing
this
legislation.
B
W
Hb
159
special
education
standards
and
workload,
guidelines
for
teachers
and
related
services
providers.
Essentially
this
requires
the
state
board
to
adopt
regulations
that
would
provide
workload
guidelines
for
our
special
education
teachers.
This
is
an
unfunded
mandate
because,
essentially,
if
passed,
these
requirements
would
result
in
an
increase
in
the
number
of
iep
iep
clerks.
W
Our
county
has
been
very
proactive
in
this
area
by
providing
the
administrative
duties
associated
with
ieps
to
various
staff
and
providing
for
this
issue
in
various
ways.
So
we
do
feel
like
we
are
trying
to
deal
with
the
issue,
but
this
this
bill
is
an
unfunded
mandate
that
we
are
suggesting
that
you
oppose.
B
W
Okay,
hb
298
education,
student
data
privacy
act
of
2015..
Essentially,
this
bill
prohibits
a
service
provider,
so
this
would
be
a
a
company
that
we
partner
with
to
provide
electronic
services
for
our
students.
It
prohibits
them
from
using
any
student
personally
identified
information
for
any
purpose
other
than
what
we
can
contracted
them
for.
We
are
asking
that
you
support
this
bill.
W
This
bill
does
address
many
of
the
concerns
we've
had
regarding
the
protection
of
student
data
when
contracting
with
outside
vendors,
and
it
protects
student
information
so
that
it
can
only
be
used
for
pre-k
to
12
purposes,
for
which
we
contract
it
with
the
vendor.
It
also
prohibits
the
advertising
to
students
or
creating
student
profiles
to
sell
to
other
vendors.
M
B
W
Senate
bill
210
education,
institutions,
personal
electronic,
account
privacy
protection.
Essentially,
this
bill
provides
privacy
protections
for
students
and
provides
standards
so
that
extracurricular,
coaches
and
sponsors
can't
require
students
to
alter
their
electronic
account
information
or
or
have
anything
to
do
with
that
before
acceptance
into
you
know
a
sports
activity
or
program,
so
we're
suggesting
that
you
support
this
bill.
F
W
F
W
M
Again,
we
have,
we
already
have
some
policies
that
relate
to
this,
in
terms
of
when
you,
when
you
said
that
about
the
facebook
and
the
account
things
like
that,
we
have
policies
in
place
in
our
county.
Already
that
say
how
and
how
these
things
can
occur.
So
our
county,
our
teachers,
can't
go
out
and
ask
for
your
well,
they
can
but
really
they
shouldn't
and
if
they
get
caught,
they
get
in
trouble.
So
so
they
the
thing
is.
This
is
just
saying
that
you
can't
request
this.
I
mean
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
it.
W
W
Is
not
a
criminal
law
that
would
be
instituted,
I'm
not
sure
what
the
what
the
repercussions
were
for
a
violation
of
that.
So
I'm
not
sure
quite
how
to
answer
your
question.
I
think
it
would
be
something
that
would
be
considered
and
included
in
any
sort
of
discipline
of
someone
that
did
violate
this
if
it
were
made
into
a
law.
M
That
doesn't
preclude
us
from
being
able
to
say
if
we
have
a
student,
that's
being
bullied
for
our
office
of
investigation
to
be
able
to
do
that.
What
it
says
is
we
can't
require
it,
so
it
would
not
would
not
not
allow
us
to
do
it
in
the
sense
that
if
there
was
something
there
was
a
cyber
bullying
case
and
we
wanted
to
to
help
the
student
investigate
further,
but
we
needed
to
have
access
to
their
accounts
and
stuff.
M
W
Right
and
I
I
I
apologize
from
scoreblock-
I
misunderstood
what
you
were
getting
at.
You
were
saying
if
there
was
an
investigation
into
cyber
bullying
and
we
needed
some
information
that
was
on
a
facebook
site
or
something
that's
that's
a
different
situation,
that's
entirely
different.
This
is
just
saying
in
order
to
make
the
team,
so
the
yeah
they're,
two
different
things.
W
Senate
bill
228,
supplemental
public
school
construction
matching
fund
program.
Essentially
this
bill
creates
a
state-funded
public
school
construction
matching
fund
program
for
lease
with
140
000
students
or
more.
This
would
only
apply
to
montgomery
county,
given
the
limited
resources
that
exist
in
in
the
current
fiscal
climate.
We
are
asking
that
you
oppose
this
bill
because
it
would
drain
money
away
from
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
and
our
construction
cost
needs.
M
W
Last
year,
this
bill
included
montgomery
county
baltimore,
county
and
prince
george's
county,
and
this
year
it's
just
montgomery
county,
so
that
bill
last
year
did
fail
when
it
was
those
three
and
now
montgomery
county
is
taking
a
shot
at
it.
I'm
not
sure
on
the
you
know
how
far
it's
going
to
get,
but.
W
This
bill
requires
for
a
local
school
system
to
on
their
website
include
all
food
or
drinks
that
are
sold
at
breakfast
lunch
and
a
la
carte
and
provide
the
brand
name,
the
flavor
of
the
item
and
the
nutritional
information
here
in
anne
arundel
county
public
schools.
We
already
actually
do
this,
it
is
on
our
website
and
it's
all
included.
However,
we
do
think
that
this
is
overly
burdensome
for
all
school
systems
to
require
it.
We
feel
it's
a
local
issue
and
that
we
do
feel
like
we're
addressing
the
spirit
intent
of
this
bill.
W
There
is
also
a
part
of
it
that
speaks
to
having
to
do
regular
mailings
to
schools
if
one
school
has
a
different,
a
la
carte
item
than
another,
so
we
feel
that's
a
little
bit
overreaching
into
into
our
business
as
to
how
we
communicate
with
parents
on
this
issue.
So
we're
for
those
reasons,
ask
that
you
oppose
this
bill.
B
W
W
W
It
requires
that
schools
include
a
reusable
water
bottle
on
their
school
supplies,
their
school
supply
list
every
year,
and
it
requires
that
for
students
in
kindergarten
through
12th
grade
that
schools
provide
flat
bottom
biodegradable
cups
for
drinking
water
in
each
location,
where
meals
are
served.
Given
that
level
of
detail.
Obviously
this
is
you
know
an
overarching
into
this
public
school's
operations.

I
just
hope
that
you
all
can
embrace
the
idea
behind
this
bill
and
maybe
see
if
you
can
get
it
amended
to
take
out
the
onerous
portions
that
you
find
about
cleaning
the
bottles
and
stuff.
Many
many
schools
don't
allow
students
to
have
water
bottles
at
their
desk.
P
P
P
F
F
Right
right,
so
so
our
our
lunch
actually
costs
more
than
everybody
else's.
We've
now
gotten
my
son
to
bring
a
water
bottle
with
him
every
day,
so
I'm
finally
saving
a
little
bit
of
money
but
yeah,
but
but
because
they
have
to,
for
the
nutritional
standards
include
the
milk,
even
though
they
don't
drink
it.
They
then
throw
their
milk
away
every
day.
B
B
M
W
Of
printing,
this
had
not
been
issued
a
number
yet,
but
this
is
the
public
schools
now
public
schools,
sexual
and
physical
abuse
notification
and
prevention
bill.
Essentially,
this
bill
provides
that
if
an
employee
or
an
adult
working
on
school
property
as
a
contractor
or
subcontractor,
a
paid
leader
of
a
school
activity
is
arrested
for
a
reportable
offense.
W
Then
the
law
enforcement
agency,
if
they
know
that,
has
to
notice,
notify
the
local
school
system,
then
the
local
school
system,
within
five
days
of
that
notification
must
notify
school
employees
and
parents.
The
students
who
attend
any
school
in
the
county,
where
the
accused
worked
during
the
school
year
in
which
the
incident
occurred.
It
also
mandates.
School
employees
must
receive
annual
training
in
identifying
signs
of
sexual
abuse
and
assault.
W
We
recommend
that
you
support
this
with
amendments
specifically
that
all
contractors
and
subcontractors
working
on
school
property
being
them
being
included
in
the
notification
requirement,
may
be
too
broad.
It
doesn't
take
into
account
the
contract
or
subcontractor
that
may
be
working
on
school
property,
but
not
actually
on
dealing
with
students
or
ever
seeing
students,
for
example,
the
delivery
man
who
delivers
some
sort
of
material
to
a
construction
site
that
never
once
has
any
interactions
with
the
employees
at
the
school
or
the
staff
there.
B
W
This
bill
prohibits
a
county
board
from
knowingly
hiring
or
attaining
an
individual
or
a
contractor
or
subcontractor
from
knowingly
hiring
or
retaining
an
individual
who
has
been
convicted
of
a
crime
of
violence
of
child
sex
abuse.
We're
recommending
that
you
support
this
with
amendments.
The
bill
is
very
well
intentioned
and
we
actually
already
follow
this
here
in
our
system
for
all
of
our
employees.
W
However,
it
is
too
broad
in
that
it
includes
prohibition
on
contractors
and
subcontractors
to
hire
anyone,
not
just
those
that
work
at
school.
So
if
we
contract
with
coca-cola,
for
example-
and
they
have
a
night
custodian
at
their
branch-
you
know
somewhere
not
near
our
schools-
they
actually
couldn't
hire
that
person
either
under
this
bill
and
so
we're
we're
worried
about
the
people
that
are
specifically
related
to
the
school
system.
B
B
E
B
H
H
Yes,
ma'am.
The
the
amendments
that
were
approved
today
were
on
the
floor
were
two
million
464
thousand
and
twenty
seven
dollars.
So
those
were
the
the
amendments
that
were
approved
by
the
colleagues
here,
so
two
million
464
thousand
and
twenty
seven
dollars,
and
remember
that
the
budget
also
had
to
account
for
the
shift
in
revenue
that
occurred.
H
The
almost
4.8
million
dollar
shift
in
revenue
that
occurred
by
transferring
the
cut
from
the
state
government
to
the
county
government
line
exactly
that
was
four
million
seven
hundred
seventy
nine
thousand
one
hundred
sixty
dollars
put
together.
The
maintenance
of
effort
requirement
from
the
county
remains
unchanged:
that's
11.3
million!
B
U
U
B
D
Move
that
we
amend
the
superintendent's
recommendation
for
an
fy26
2016
operating
budget
to
1,
one
hundred
three
million
four
hundred
and
thirty
five
thousand
four
hundred
and
ninety
nine
dollars
operating
and
any
approved
adjustments,
and
for
2016
there
will
be
no.
The
capital
budget
would
remain
the
same.
J
B
J
H
J
H
The
county
government
will
receive
a
high
level
overview,
which
is
similar
to
the
briefing
packet
that
the
board
has
before
you
adjusted,
and
then
they
will
also
receive
the
full
version
of
the
budget
embedded
in.
That
will
be
any
amendments
that
are
passed
by
this
board
of
education.
So
we
can
make
that
editorial
adjustment.
It's
not
a
financial
adjustment,
so
that's
fairly
easy
to
make
okay.
