C
E

Today,
the
Board
of
Education
recognizes
an
educator
in
our
school
system,
who
is
extremely
dedicated
and
brings
a
love
of
reading
to
her
students.
She
teaches
all
levels
of
seventh
grade
language
arts
and
implements
the
guided
reading
program
with
fidelity,
Miss
Jacqueline
Lake
of
Crofton
Middle
School.
E
Jackie
she's,
known
by
her
colleagues,
is
a
kind
patient
teacher
who
never
gives
up
on
her
students
reaching
the
rigorous
stance
she
spends
countless
hours,
ensuring
every
lesson
and
assignment
is
differentiated
to
meet
the
unique
needs
of
each
individual
student
in
her
classroom.
Miss
lake
is
one
of
the
most
creative
and
down-to-earth
teachers
and
people.
She
is
so
humble
in
her
abilities
and
is
so
deserving
of
this
recognition.
E
E
Perhaps
this
colleague
summed
it
up
the
best
and
I
quote:
Jackie
lake
is
the
type
of
educator
who
will
spend
hours
crafting
a
phenomenal
lesson
and
share
it
with
her
colleagues
without
a
word
or
any
expectation,
a
Fanfare
or
even
a
thanks.
Her
humble
attitude
and
tireless
dedication
are
precisely
the
reason
she
deserves.
This
recognition,
Miss
Jacqueline
Lake.
You
are
truly
one
of
Anne
Arundel
County's
best.
So
for
all
the
reasons
you've
heard
this
morning,
the
board
of
education
is
honored
to
recognize
you
as
the
educator
of
the
month
for
March
2023..
C
F
How
did
it
get
you
here
today?
They
just
surprised
me
and
said
I
needed
to
be
here
and
I
wasn't
sure
why?
But
and
then
he
was
joining
me
this
morning,
I
have
my
husband
and
my
department
chair
as
well.
E
G
G
Well,
she
only
began
at
Old
Mill
North.
Last
April.
She
immediately
began
to
display
how
she
truly
cares
about
the
well-being
of
everyone
that
she
encounters.
She
is
a
true
asset
to
the
front
office
staff.
Miss
Hardeman
handles
even
the
most
difficult
of
days
with
kindness
and
compassion
towards
the
students
and
staff
alike.
She
makes
a
point
of
remembering
students,
names
and
grease
them
with
a
smile.
She
will
drop
her
entire
to-do
list
to
connect
with
a
student
direct,
a
parent
help,
someone
on
the
phone
or
assist
with
any
spur
of
the
moment
situation.
G
Her
ability
to
juggle
multiple
tasks
and
wear
multiple
hats
is
a
true
gift.
She
devotes
an
enormous
amount
of
energy
to
fulfilling
her
duties.
She
listens
to
the
students,
needs
and
encourages
them
to
make
good
decisions
and
to
be
a
contributing
member
of
the
school
Community.
She
is
comforting.
She
is
a
comforting
presence
and
a
sense
of
calm
in
an
otherwise
chaotic
situation.
She
always
provides
a
positive
outlook
through
the
negativity,
Miss
herderman.
Does
everything
with
love
and
respect?
G
Harper
strives
to
make
Old
Mill,
Middle,
School,
North
and
even
better
place
to
learn
and
grow.
While
many
students
may
feel
uneasy
going
to
the
discipline
office,
she
helps
them
feel
calm
and
cared
for.
She
provides
a
safe
landing
for
the
students.
The
Board
of
Education
enthusiastically
recognizes
you
miss
Harper
herdeman,
as
the
March
2023
Employee
of
the
Month.
Congratulations.
Would
you
please
come
forward
to
accept
the
award.
F
C
Thank
you.
It's
amazing
how
many
people
show
up
and
realize
the
people
they
knew
and
loved
lie
really
well,
so
so
that
brings
us
to
item
2.08
volunteer
of
the
month,
MS
shulheim,
okay,
thank.
H
H
H
Oh
my
goodness,
since
joining
the
Jones
family
in
2020,
Mrs
Gilligan
has
helped
pave
the
way
to
their
new
normal,
ranging
from
running
after
school
programs.
Organizing
volunteers,
coordinating
the
book
fair
and
leading
new
volunteers,
Mrs
Gilligan
shows
us
the
way
to
volunteer
Nina
McCarthy
Secretary
of
the
PTA
described
how
Mrs
Gilligan
brought
back
after
school
programs
to
Jones
Elementary.
H
She
has
worked
tirelessly
to
staff
each
club
with
appropriate
leaders
and
chaperones,
not
to
mention
ensuring
each
child.
Has
the
proper
paperwork
and
each
volunteer
has
the
correct
background
check.
It
is
no
small
task
to
organize
and
she
handles
it
with
ease
and
Grace.
At
the
same
time,
his
planning
and
Staffing
eight
weeks
of
after
school
clubs,
Mrs
Gilligan
coordinated
the
Scholastic
Book
Fair
work
working
closely
with
the
media
specialist
to
create
a
smooth
process.
That
was
a
success
that
was
successful
and
well
received.
H
Beyond
the
basics
of
running
the
fair
Mrs
Gilligan
demonstrated
how
much
she
cares
about
the
children
by
working
with
the
school
counselor
to
create
a
special
fund
that
would
ensure
that
every
single
student
was
able
to
purchase
a
book
if
they
wished.
Mrs
Gillian
also
leads
the
PTA
enrichment
committee
committee.
As
a
mother
of
five
aacps
students,
including
a
set
of
triplets,
she
has
created
relationships
with
local
businesses
that
will
benefit
Jones
Elementary
and
our
children
for
years
to
come,
including
Partnerships
with
Park
books
and
hamal
garden
center.
H
Mrs
McCarthy
tells
us
that
Mrs
Gilligan
is
not
only
a
team
player.
She
is
a
leader
when
it
comes
to
making
things
happen.
She
never
hesitates
to
ask
a
question:
offer
a
solution
or
collaborate
with
the
PTA
staff,
PTA
staff
and
administration,
a
volunteer
who
is
this
dedicated
inclusive
and
is
committed
as
a
Rarity
Mrs
Gilligan's
Jones,
Elementary
School,
and
the
entire
Anne
Arundel
County
Public
Schools
Community
are
blessed
to
have
such
a
dedicated
volunteer.
Who
shows
the
way,
and
we
thank
you
for
your
service.
Would
you
please
come
forward?
It's
with
great
appreciation.
C
B
A
A
A
A
A
I
I
I
I
C
Before
we
move
on
I
I
wanted
to
mention
I
neglected
to
mention
at
the
beginning.
Our
student
member
Mr
McGrath
is
not
here
today
because
he
is
participating
in
the
U.S
Senate
youth
program
as
one
of
the
two
representatives
from
Maryland,
so
I'm
sure
he's
having
a
fantastic
experience
down
the
road
in
DC,
and
we
look
forward
to
having
him
back
with
us
after
he
has
completed
his
couple
of
weeks
in
those
in
that
program.
C
So
we
now
move
on
to
item
three
public
comments.
There
are
no
public
comments
today,
so
we
will
be
moving
forward
to
section
four
reports
and
the
first
of
those
is
item
4.01
the
PTA
report.
We
don't
have
one
today,
okay,
we
do
not
have
a
report
in
PTA
that
will
take
us
on
to
item
4.0
to
the
president's
report.
C
I
have
a
couple
of
things
to
update
on
I
was
speaking
of
the
PTA
very
fortunate,
along
with
Dr
Bedell,
to
attend
the
national
PTA
Reflections
awards
ceremony,
where
we
got
to
see
some
incredible
work
by
students
from
a
number
of
our
schools.
It
was
a
thrill
to
see
this
program
in
the
county.
I
know
a
number
of
leaders
in
our
PT's
PTA
in
the
county
worked
hard
to
bring
this
program
to
the
county
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
it
expand.
Ms
crocodile
I
see
your
light.
G
E
Entire
month
is
dedicated
to
highlight
and
focus
on,
the
history
of
the
accomplishments
of
obtaining
equity
and
equality
for
women
and
aacps
has
had
some
Trailblazers
over
its
decades
and
I
thought.
It
may
be
noteworthy
for
us
to
just
make
a
note
of
recognition
verbally
for
our
Trailblazers
and
moving
forward
I'm
looking
forward
to
the
next
chapter
because
we're
making
progress,
but
we
do
have
a
way
to
go
and
I
think
us
recognizing
that
has
taken
us
to
Great
Strides.
C
Thank
you
and
we
have
some
incredible
young
women
coming
up
through
our
school
system,
so
that
is
exciting.
Ms
shulheim.
C
You
I
also
wanted
to
note
that
I
had
the
opportunity
on
February
22nd
to
attend
one
of
the
dance
festivals,
one
of
the
the
ones
at
South
River,
and
that
was
extraordinary.
I
was
there
with
Miss
Jackson
and
we
had
a
fabulous
time
as
someone
who
myself
studied
dance
for
16
years,
I
know
how
much
work
went
into
that
and
what
a
joy
it
was
to
watch
each
and
every
group
of
students
from
schools
across
the
county
deliver
incredible
performances.
C
So
congratulations
to
those
students
to
their
teachers
to
their
choreographers,
to
their
families,
to
everyone
who
put
in
this
incredible
effort
to
bring
about
what
is
a
huge
event.
I
attended.
Only
one
of
the
festivals.
There
are
multiple
festivals
that
occur
and
and
the
work
that
goes
into
that
is
extraordinary.
So
and
I
also
wanted
to
say
that,
along
with
Dr
Bedell
and
a
number
of
my
colleagues,
we
also
had
the
great
joy
of
surprising
the
teacher
of
the
year
finalists
on
February
22nd.
C
Finally,
I
would
like
to
make
a
special
welcome
to
the
newest
member
of
our
team.
Here
at
the
Board
of
Education
Mr
Dan
Reagan
has
joined
us
as
the
Director
of
our
internal
audit
office.
This
is
an
office
that
many
in
the
public
may
not
be
aware
of,
but
it
is
one
of
the
most
critical
offices
for
any
Board
of
Education.
We
are
delighted
to
welcome
Mr
Reagan
to
our
team.
C
He
comes
to
us
from
the
Maryland
Office
of
the
Inspector
General
of
Education,
where
he
served
as
supervisory
Inspector
General
for
investigative
audits
prior
to
that
he
served
for
six
years
as
an
internal
auditor
for
Prince
George's,
County,
Public
Schools
and
spent
seven
years
in
the
office
of
the
Inspector
General
for
the
Central
Intelligence
Agency.
So
he
brings
a
wealth
of
experience.
This
will
be
a
boon
to
the
board,
to
our
entire
system,
to
our
students
and
to
the
taxpayers
of
this
County,
as
he
performs
critical
work
so
welcome
Mr
Reagan.
D
Good
afternoon
everyone
Dr
Toby
and
Dr
Bedell.
Thank
you
all.
We
had
a
great
meeting
yesterday
on
March.
The
7th
with
our
policy
committee
I,
would
love
to
welcome.
Also
a
new
member
of
the
policy
committee
Miss.
Let
me
make
sure
I
got
her
name
right,
Miss
Masa
contact.
D
She
is
coming
to
us
as
our
new
legislative
and
policy
support
specialist,
and
we
know
that
she's
going
to
bring
great
things
to
us
because
she's,
a
Clark
Atlanta
graduate,
but
also
we
had
the
pleasure
of
welcoming
Mr
Dan
rake
to
our
policy
committee
from
the
directive
audit.
So
that
was
great
in
the
business
of
the
media.
We
were
able
to
cover
two
regulations,
one
that
will
really
address
a
lot
of
the
Komar
updates,
which
is
the
policy
for
graduation
activities
and
the
care
about
school
equipment.
D
That's
there
so
we'll
be
able
to
discuss
both
of
those
we
discuss
both
of
those
regulations,
and
you
all
will
see
some
updates
to
those
regulations.
Please
feel
free
to
make
any
modifications
and
edit
I
will
tell
you
that
many
of
the
changes
are
comar
changes.
They're,
not
changes
that
we've
personalized
at
all.
So
take
your
time
to
review
those
regulations
other
than
that
we
didn't
have
any
information
for
the
good
of
the
order.
D
Great
meeting
and
great
discussion,
Miss
Gracie
Wilson
is
doing
a
fabulous
job
of
working
on
with
our
legislations,
while
the
delegation
is
in
session.
So
I
do
think
that
we'll
have
a
lot
of
reports
from
her
and
if
you
check
your
email,
you
should
see
some
information
about
proposals
that
are
bills
that
are
out
there.
That
may
affect
some
of
our
policies
other
than
that.
That's
all
that.
C
Thank
you,
Ms
Dent
item
4.04,
the
equity
committee
report
that
would
normally
be
delivered
by
the
chair,
Mr
McGrath
he's
not
here
today,
so
I
will
leave
it
to
him
to
update
us
at
a
later
meeting
which
takes
us
to
item
4.05.
The
superintendent's
report,
Dr
Bedell,
all.
J
Right,
thank
you,
madam
President.
We
have
a
slide
deck
that
we'll
go
through
I.
Just
wanted
want
to
just
start
off
by
saying
hello
to
everyone:
who's,
either
online
or
in
attendance.
Today,
I
have
been
extremely
busy
since
our
last
board
meeting
I
had
an
opportunity
to
attend
the
super
National
superintendents
Association
conference
and
actually
presented
a
session
there
around
supporting
superintendents
across
the
country.
J
With
this
work,
I
attended
the
institute
for
Education
Innovation
conference
recently
I
had
an
opportunity
to
attend
the
spamalada
play
at
Bates
and
as
a
parent,
to
see
your
daughter
all
the
work
that
she
put
in
and
to
see
all
of
those
other
students
perform.
J
The
way
that
they
performed
in
the
Middle
School
play
was
was
impressive,
but
probably
what
was
more
impressive
about
what
I
experienced
there
was
the
opening
remarks
just
around
how
aacps
wants
us
as
guests,
to
conduct
ourselves
in
a
very
cordial
manner
when
we
are
listening
to
a
performance
and-
and
it
appears
to
be
standard
it
just
made
me
proud.
You
know
of
our
expectations
that
we
not
only
have
for
our
students,
but
our
expectations
that
we
have
for
guests
attending
our
events.
J
I
also
want
to
congratulate
our
sixth
teacher
of
the
year
finalists,
who
we
had
the
pleasure
of
surprising
as
you've
heard
from
Madam
president
Nia
Baker
of
Lindale
Middle
School
Ian
Burns
of
Arundel
High
School,
Mary,
Kay,
Connerton
of
Annapolis
High

Elementary,

Courtney,
Kinney
of
South
Shore,
Elementary,

and

Magothy
River,
Middle
School.
The
aacps
teacher
of
the
year
will
be
announced
at
the
annual
excellence
in
education
Awards
on
April
20th,
some
other
good
news
that
we
want
to
share
with
you
all.
J
Congratulations
also
due
to
some
of
our
student
athletes.
Five
wrestlers

George's
County
I
also
want
to
congratulate
Savannah
park,
because
that
was
a
tough
one
for
me
last
night
having
to
watch
two
of
our
teams
battle
it
out,
but
the
good
news
was
we
knew.
J
One
of
our
teams
were
going
to
advance
to
compete
in
the
State
title,
and
that
is
something
that's
very
rare
So
kudos
to
all
of
those
athletes,
the
coaches
and
the
parents
who
have
to
give
up
a
lot
in
order
for
these
students
to
reach
Heights
like
this.
Next,
our
amazing
HR
team,
whom
you
will
hear
from
in
a
presentation
later
in
this
meeting,
is
continuing
our
efforts
to
recruit
awesome
Educators
to
work
with
our
students.
J
We
hit
a
milestone
this
week
with
regard
to
our
Outreach
to
Spanish-speaking
Families
Our,
all
Spanish
Facebook
page
reached
1
000
followers.
That's
a
great
accomplishment
for
a
page
that
just
started
in
August,
so
I
want
to
give
kudos
to
our
communication
team
for
continuing
to
help
figure
out
ways
to
create
this
sense
of
belonging
for
everybody
that
is
enrolled
in
this
school
district.
That
is
a
nice.
A
a
really
nice
accomplishment,
as
I've
said
since
I've
gotten
here,
I
want
to
take
every
opportunity.
J
I
can
to
speak
with
our
students,
because
I
do
have
a
story
that
I
think
can
impact
their
lives.
In
addition,
they
have
things
to
say
that
can
help
us
better.
The
work
that
we
are
doing
I've
had
a
chance
to
speak
to
three
groups
over
the
last
two
weeks
with
an
actual
slide
deck
presentation
that
I
use
that
I
utilize
over
the
years,
two
assemblies
at
MacArthur,
Middle
School
to
the
entire
student
body
and
then
afterwards,
I
stayed
there
and
had
lunch
with
the
students.
J
So
that
was
an
interesting
experience
and
then
one
group
earlier
this
week
at
Crofton,
Middle
School,
where
the
students
had
a
ton
of
questions
after
the
presentation,
as
well
as
giving
presentations
as
part
of
Black
History
Month
events
at
Annapolis,
High
School
in
Monarch,
Annapolis
I,
look
forward
to
more
opportunities
to
do
that
in
the
future
and
will
continuously
clear
my
schedule
in
an
effort
to
make
sure
that
our
students
understand
who
their
superintendent
is.
J
As
we
have
done
for
many
years,
our
school
system
will
administer
the
s.a.t
exam
free
of
charge
for
all
Juniors
this
month.
That
will
occur
on
Wednesday
March
22nd.
On
the
same
day,
we
are
offering
sophomores
the
opportunity
to
take
the
pre-sat
4
fee.
These
are
great
opportunities
and
we
are
pleased
to
be
able
to
offer
them
to
students
so
that
we
have
sufficient
staff
to
administer
both
exams.
J
All
Juniors
and
any
sophomores
who
will
be
testing
will
report
the
school
at
the
normal
time
on
March
22nd
with
other
high
school
students
reporting
three
hours
and
15
minutes
later
there
will
be
double
bus
runs
on
this
day
to
accommodate
students.
More
information
about
Transportation
Arrangements
will
be
sent
to
family
soon.
There
is
something
that's
not
in
my
notes
that
I
think
is
absolutely
important
and
it
is
a
conversation
I'm
having
with
my
team.
J
We
talk
a
lot
about
wanting
to
become
a
barrier-free
school
district
so
as
we
think
about
PSAT
the
exposure
that
we
want
students
to
have,
even
as
early
as
the
ninth
grade
getting
exposure.
These
are
the
conversations
we're
going
to
have
where
ultimately,
the
school
district
will
have
to
foot
the
bill
to
make
sure
that
all
of
our
kids
get
exposure
to
taking
the
PSAT.
J
J
As
a
school
district,
we
have
to
do
our
job
to
make
sure
that
we're
producing
more
National
Merit
Scholars,
so
that
it
allows
for
those
kids
to
to
ultimately
matriculate
through
college,
with
a
significant
reduced
amount
of
potential
debt,
and
so
that
will
be
a
part
of
our
conversation.
As
we
talk
about
next
steps
on
a
barrier-free
school
district.
J
As
to
the
latest
updates
on
our
transportation
numbers,
we
currently
have
40
bus
driver
vacancies
and
55
potential
drivers
in
training.
I
also
want
to
tell
you
that
our
transportation
technology
and
communication
teams
have
been
working
on
a
new
system
that
we
will
roll
out
in
the
near
future.
That
will
make
Communications
with
impact
their
families
more
streamlined.
So
you
can
see
almost
for
the
most
part
throughout
the
year
when
we
give
these
updates.
J
Those
numbers
have
constantly
dropped,
and
so
we're
hoping
that
this
is
the
beginning
of
of
a
permanent
fixture
and
hopefully
come
the
beginning
of
this
upcoming
school
year.
We'll
retain
the
people
that
we
have,
while
also
filling
these
other
vacancies
and
hopefully
open
up
this
school
year
as
seamless
as
possible.
That
would
be
the
goal.
J
I
also
want
to
remind
every
one
of
the
potential
redistricting
scenarios
we
have
released
for
public
comment
as
we
embark
on
this
comprehensive
two-phase
process.
I
encourage
everyone
to
go
to
the
www.aacps.org
forward,
slash
redistricting,
to
look
at
the
information
and
offer
your
thoughts.
This
is
a
long
process
with
plenty
of
opportunity
for
input,
so
I
urge
everyone
to
take
part.
J
I
want
to
remind
every
one
of
our
hashtag
be
present
campaign
where
parents,
alumni
and
community
members
can
build
relationships
with
students
in
our
schools
and
be
another
set
of
eyes
and
ears
for
administrators.
Anyone
who
is
interested
can
send
an
email
to
be
present
at
aacps.org.
We
will
start
this
off
in
a
phase
process
and
more
information
is
to
come
soon
around
what
those
schools
are.
J
And,
finally,
while
we
are
on
the
verge
of
spring
planning
for
our
summer,
programs
is
well
underway,
we
literally
have
thousands
of
opportunities
for
students
and
families
this
summer,
they
all
can
be
found
at
www.aacps.org
forward
slash
summer.
Applications
for
programs
are
due
by
March
15th
president
Tobin.
This
concludes
my
report.
Thank
you.
C
D
Just
a
quick
question
on
the
update
on
the
transportation
I
know
that
we
talked
about
bringing
more
buses
in-house
to
see.
If
we
could
kind
of
expand,
our
I
would
say
portfolio
of
buses
yeah.
Can
you
elaborate
a
little
bit
on.
J
That
yeah
I
think
we're
still
in
the
play:
We're.
That's
still
in
the
plans
and
Mr
stansky.
If
I'm,
not
mistaken,
I
believe
we've
we've
already
requested
some
additional
Vans
to
add
into
our
portfolio
and
I.
Don't
know
if
it's
there's
something
in
here
on
buses
but
I
think
that's
what
that's
with
a
particular
partner.
Is
that
correct.
K
K
to
also,
but
with
a
complement
of
vans
from
contracted
drivers
as
well,
but
looking
long
term
there's,
there's
obviously
two
really
big
items
into
whether
you
know
our
decision
Point
as
to
you
know
how
much
we
want
to
perform
the
service
in-house
versus
how
much
we
want
to
rely
on
contractors,
and
that
is
our
capacity
versus
our
contractor's
capacity
to
Electrify
our
bus
fleet
right
so
starting
in
January
of
2025,
all
new
buses
have
to
be
electric,
and
so
who,
amongst
our
partners
in
the
in
the
in
the
vendor
world,
will
have
the
capacity
to
do
that
along
with
us
and
I.
K
Think
the
second
piece
is
we
still
in
order
for
us
to
even
expand
our
opportunity
to
do
this
in-house.
We
have
to
identify
a
new
Transportation
Hub
center.
We
do.
We
just
do
not
have
the
facility
capacity
at
the
moment
to
do
anything
more
in-house
and
so
obviously
I
think
you'll
see
over
the
next
12
to
18
months.
K
As
we
look
at
our
capital
budget
and
our
proposals,
conversations
with
the
county
about
acquiring
property
and
then
a
capital
budget
request
to
build
a
facility
to
both
house
Transportation
staff,
along
with
an
enhanced
Fleet,
to
include
the
the
capacity
to
charge
which
will
what
will
have
to
be
new
electric
buses.
D
Okay,
that's
gave
me
about
five
five,
more
questions
that
I'm
not
going
to
take
of
the
board
dioces
with
to
ask,
but
I
do
want
to
at
a
time
to
be
determined
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
the
public
realizes
that
one
of
the
strategies
that
we
talked
about
was
creating
capacity
in-house.
D
And
so
what
you
just
told
me
is
that
the
realism
of
that
is
probably
not
as
it's
a
lot
a
lot
more
daunting
than
we
first
seen,
and
so
I
want
to
be
transparent
with
the
expectation
and
manage
expectations
that
that's
not
going
to
happen
and
that
the
that
portion
needs
to
be
contracted
out
and.
K
I
would
say,
even
if
you
look
at
the
Prismatic
report,
even
with
our
existing
balance
of
In-House
versus
contracted,
one
of
the
recommendations
was
a
new
facility
for
that
for
that
team,
along
with
expanded
capacity
to
hold
and
store
our
Fleet,
and
so
we're
going
to
look
at
that,
but
along
with
the
county,
but
along
with
potential
expansion
of
the
fleet
over
time.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
Mr
stansky,
so
seeing
no
more
lights
that
takes
us
to
item
five
presentations.
5.01
Workforce
diversity,
update,
Dr,
Bedell,
all.
J
L
Good
afternoon,
okay,
we're
up
good
afternoon
president
Tobin
vice
president
silkworth
members
of
the
board
and
Dr
Bedell
I'm
Del
I
am
Jessica
Executive
Director
of
Human,
Resources
and
I'm
delighted
to
be
here
to
share
with
you
our
Workforce
diversity.
Presentation
presenting
to
meet
with
me
today
is
Mr
Scott,
McGuire
senior
manager
of
human
capital
and
Miss
Shanika
McKenzie
Workforce
diversity,
specialist
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public,
Schools,
values,
diversity.
We
understand
that
positive
exposure
to
individuals
from
various
races
and
ethnic
backgrounds,
especially
in
childhood,
can
reduce
stereotypes
diminished,
unconscious
implicit
biases
and
promote
cross-cultural
social
bonding.
L
L
L
This
landscape
leaves
us
in
a
very
competitive
market.
We
are
not
alone
in
competing
for
human
capital
resources,
similar
to
what
we
experienced
this
year.
Many
school
systems
experience
vacancies
to
start
their
school
years.
During
the
2021-2022
school
year,
44
percent
of
Public
School
Systems
report
it
full
or
part-time
teaching
vacancies.
M
Over
the
past
five
years,
we
have
seen
a
drastic
increase
in
the
number
of
conditionally
certified
new
hires
to
42
percent.
While
we
have
added
committed
Educators
to
this
via
this
certif
certification
path,
there
are
many
unintended
consequences,
such
as
a
lack
of
teacher
preparation
program,
a
limited
understanding
of
educational
practices
and
pedagogy.
M
M
Aacps
has
seen
teacher
turnover
increase
by
five
percentage
points
over
the
past
year
and
30
percent
of
our
separations
come
from
those
teachers
with
one
to
five
years
experiences
of
experience.
While
we
have
been
visiting
and
meeting
with
principals,
we
continue
to
preach
that
retention
is
one
of
our
best
recruitment
strategies.
N
We
will
now
highlight
we
will
now
update
the
board
on
some
of
our
recruitment
efforts
to
date,
as
we
prepared
for
the
2223
recruitment
season,
aacps
attended
over
80
recruitment
events,
which
included
Crips
to
local
and
out-of-state
universities,
as
well
as
participation
in
both
local
and
National
job
fairs.
We
continue
to
host
virtual
recruitment
events
to
share
information
with
both
local
and
out-of-state
applicants
who
cannot
reach
us
as
easily
our
annual
teacher
recruitment.
N
Job
fair
is
one
of
our
largest
recruitment
events
and
has
a
focus
on
encouraging
Educators
from
racially
diverse
backgrounds
to
participate,
our
annual
hiring
event
in
Puerto
Rico
AIDS
in
our
recruitment
of
bilingual
Educators
and
those
from
Hispanic
Latino
backgrounds.
At
our
last
recruitment
event,
we
had
over
45
interviews
and
we
are
hosting
career
changer
events
for
candidates
who
may
not
have
pursued
a
career
in
education
but
are
interested
in
intendering.
The
field
early
offers
of
employment
are
another
tool
we
use
to
lock
in
highly
qualified
applicants
earlier
in
the
hiring
season.
N
N
N
The
increase
in
pay
that
was
approved
by
this
board
and,
if
approved
by
our
County
Council,
will
help
aacps
to
be
more
competitive
in
competing
with
surrounding
districts
for
top
talent
and
through
grant
funding.
We
have
an
individual
dedicated
to
increasing
the
diversity
of
our
nationally
board
certified
teachers,
which,
in
turn,
will
provide
greater
compensation
for
those
employees
to
highlight
a
few
of
our
successes.
N
As
Dr
Bedell
mentioned
last
Saturday
aacps
held
our
first
teacher
recruitment,
Job
Fair,
since
2020
we
had
over
150
attendees
at
that
event,
and
over
700
interviews
were
conducted
with
administrators.
Our
recruitment
team
is
currently
reviewing
data
from
those
interviews
and
are
reaching
out
to
applicants
through
our
teacher
hiring
events
in
Puerto
Rico,
our
most
recent
event.
We
hired
14
teachers,
which
began
the
22-23
school
year
with
us.
We
will,
we
will
be
returning
to
Puerto
Rico
later
on
this
month.
N
For
the
22-23
cycle,
through
our
various
recruitment
efforts,
we
are
happy
to
report
that
nearly
one-third
of
the
unit
1
new
hires
for
the
2223
school
year
were
racially
and
ethnically
diverse.
This
is
our
highest
percentage
of
diverse
new
hires,
an
increase
of
eight
percentage
points
from
last
year
and
six
percentage
points
from
the
21
2021
school
year,
where
the
percentage
was
nearly
27
and
now
has
taken
over
this
number
as
the
highest
percentage
of
diverse
new
hires
in
the
county.
L
So,
despite
our
efforts,
there
continued
to
be
some
identified,
barriers
and
opportunities
for
improvement
to
recruit
and
retain
educators,
lagging
salaries
behind
other
districts
and
other
professions
continue
to
be
an
area
in
which
we
struggle
certification
requirements
that
are
time
consuming
complicated
and
do
not
account
for
success
in
the
classroom
or
successful.
Relatable
experiences
are
a
challenge.
L
Our
conditional
teachers
have
limited
time
to
meet
the
testing,
and
course,
requirements
to
become
professionally
certified
and,
let's
not
forget
that
certificate
certification
takes
years
and
our
conditionally
certified
teachers
are
teaching
in
the
classroom
while
we're
expecting
them
to
achieve
professional
certification
at
the
same
time,
they're
learning
a
new
profession
as
we
look
to
the
future.
We
look
to
the
requirements
of
blueprint
and
the
report
that
we
submit
it
to
the
general
assembly
on
Workforce
diversity,
the
work
I'm,
sorry,
the
report,
exam
and
Staffing
Trends
recruitment
practices
and
interview
and
selection
processes.
L
As
a
part
of
the
report,
we
surveyed
managers
in
recent
hires,
we
conducted
focus
groups
and
we
analyze
this
information
in
our
Workforce
monitoring
team
to
make
recommendations
moving
forward.
This
has
resulted
in
enhanced
recruitment
efforts,
including
recruitment
Presence.
At
more
community-based
events,
work
around
the
development
of
alternative
certification
programs
and
mandatory
bias
and
interview
training,
which
is
going
on
right
now
moving
forward.
Our
next
report
is
due
on
June
30th
and
we
will
provide
updates
on
our
progress
as
well
as
the
next
steps
at
that
time.
C
H
Firstly,
thank
you
for
coming
here
again
and
presenting
this
report
to
us
as
you,
as
you
have
in
the
past,
I
want
to
applaud
your
efforts
on
recruiting
a
more
diverse
Workforce
for
unit
one
I.
Don't
think
I
need
to
tell
you
thing,
I'm
preaching
to
the
choir
and
I
say
how
important
that
is
to
our
students
and
our
community
at
large
and
I.
Just
I
just
hope
that
we
do
all
we
can
to
hold
on
to
them
with
with
both
arms
and
hence
yeah.
H
So
thank
you
for
your
work
on
this,
and
this
effort
and
I
know
that
it's
not
it's
not
easy.
You
know
we're.
We
were
already
a
net
importer
of
teachers
before
coven
before
inflation
hikes
before
all
of
this
and
and
and
I
know,
it
feels
like
one
step
forward,
two
steps
back
so
at
times,
but
your
work
does
not
go
unnoticed
by
the
sport.
So
thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
I,
don't
see
additional
lights.
I
do
have
a
one
question.
You
refer
to
the
the
one
barrier
that
remains
being
the
certification
path
and
I
know
from
personal
experience
and
discussing
with
teachers
that
I
know
who
are
career
Changers
that
it's
a
it's
a
real
issue,
because
something
else
that
you
referred
to
in
the
report
is
that
sometimes
what
they're
being
asked
to
take
classes
in
simply
don't
impact,
what
they're
teaching
and
what
they
will
be
teaching
some
of
this
I
realize
much
of
it
is
out
of
our
hands.
C
This
is
this
is
State
to
a
large
extent
state
requirements
it
do.
Is
there
a
sense
that
we
are
or
can
make
any
progress
with
the
state
on
getting
some
flexibility
here
and
some
movement
who.
J
Wants
to
take
that
ball,
I
guess
I'll!
Take
it
because
it
is
a
conversation
that
I
had
with
the
state
superintendent
before
the
holiday
break
and
or
the
winter
break,
and
it
is
something
that
he
wants
to
work
on,
trying
to
trying
to
make
it
not
as
difficult
for
people
to
be
able
to
get
their
teacher
certification.
J
I
haven't
had
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
him
since
I
believe
he
will
be
in
our
school
district
within
the
next
week
or
two
next
week.
So
I
will.
My
team
is
you
guys
are
hearing
me
loud
and
clear,
remind
me
to
make
sure
that
I
take
advantage
of
following
up
with
that
conversation
with
them
when
he
comes
to
visit,
and
hopefully
we'll
we'll
have
an
update
for
you
all
at
the
that
I
can
email.
You.
L
And
also
just
to
add
on
that,
I
know
that
when
Dr
Bedell
met
with
the
state
superintendent,
we
had
provided
him
with
some
specifics
of
scenarios
and
some
that
we
even
I
think
even
individuals
that
had
reached
out
to
you
as
a
board
and
I
thought
that
there
were
some
very
good
suggestions
from
the
individuals
that
had
reached
out
to
you
to
say
which
were
reflected
in
these
comments.
L
If
a
teacher
is
being
successful
in
a
classroom,
why
are
we
asking
for
additional
Hoops
to
jump
through
when
we
know
that
they,
you
know
if
we
can
show
that?
Do
they
need
to
take
some
additional
courses
when
they're
already
showing
success
in
the
classroom,
and
so
I
know
that
he
has
those
specifics,
but,
like
anything,
there's
a
few
administrative
regulations
that.
C
C
I
I
I
do
understand
and
I
think
some
of
those
suggestions
also
included
things
like
for
career
Changers.
Some
real
sense
of
you
know
that
experience
is
valuable
to
us.
C
How
can
that
be
actually
reflected
in
in
making
sure
these
folks
get
their
certification
so
that
it's
not
as
Dr
Bedell
says
so
often
one
size
fits
all
a
career
changer
is
is,
is
a
different
entity,
often
than
somebody
who's
straight
out
of
school,
and
we
need
to
recognize
the
value
of
those
positions
so
but
I
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you,
the
32
point:
what
was
it
17
I
think
percentage
is
definitely
the
highest
we've
seen,
and
that
is
a
great
accomplishment,
especially
in
this
very
competitive
market,
and
it's
good
to
see
you
here,
Mr
McGuire,
in
this
position,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
everything
that
you're
doing
it
is,
as
you
mentioned,
Ms
cutches
in
another
presentation
before
us,
recruiting
and
hiring
is
now
a
year-round
activity,
so
it
doesn't
seem
to
have
a
season
anymore.
C
H
I
moved
to
bundle,
please
item
6.01
to
6.07.
Second,
okay,.
C
All
right,
Dr
Bedell
thank.
J
H
P
Mr
silkworth
aye
Ms
Frank
aye,
Miss,
Ellis,
aye,
Michelle,
Hein,
aye,
Miss,
Den,
aye,
I'm,
sorry,
Dr,
Tobin
aye
motion
passes
six
zero.
Thank.
J
C
You
all
flip
there
we're
working
on
them,
seeing
no
lights,
Ms
hell.
J
I
C
You
Ms,
Wilson
and
I
know
you
have
busy
weekends
these
days.
I
do
yes,
Miss
shondheim
I
see
you're
like.
H
Yes,
so
I
was
alarmed
as
I
assume.
Most
of
us
are
about
some
amendments
that
occurred
to
a
bill
that
I
believe
we
previously
were
either
agnostic
or
supportive.
We.
H
Yeah
yeah
and
so
yeah
it
so
we
opposed
it
before
and
now
it's
even
worse.
H
I
Sure
so
House
Bill
119,
as
it
was
introduced,
would
have
required
that
all
County
boards
adopt
the
State
Health
curriculum
and
implement
it
with
Fidelity.
We
oppose
that
as
I
said,
because
it's
a
legislative
curricular
mandate,
which
we
oppose
now
that
the
bill
has
been
amended
to
require
that
we,
let
me
just
pull
the
fill
up.
I
want
to
get
the
text
rate
that
we
follow
the
policy
and
guidelines
for
the
programs
of
instruction
for
public
schools
established
by
the
state
board.
I
If
we
do
not
follow
that,
the
State
Board
is
required
to
provide
notification
to
us
and
then
they
are
required
to
alert
the
Comptroller
to
withhold
10
of
our
state
funding.
If
the
issue
is
not
corrected
within
90
days,
the
State
Board
is
required.
State
superintendent
is
required
to
notify
the
Comptroller
to
withhold
an
additional
10
of
our
state
funding
up
to
20..
H
Yeah,
it's
deeply
disturbing
to
me
that
they
would
take
an
already
questionable,
Bill
and
and
manipulated
in
this
way,
so
to
any
Maryland
general
assembly,
members
listening
or
will,
or
that
will
watch
this
program
check
your
inbox
and-
and
please
please
think
twice
because
it's
my
understanding
that
we're
not
the
only
ones
who
oppose
this.
That
mayb
also
opposes
this.
Now
too,.
Q
The
similar
train
of
thought
is
Michelle
Heim,
not
unexpectedly,
when
this
particular
item.
This
is
a
horrendous
amendment
that
they
they
added
and
kind
of
last
minute,
just
so
that
everybody
is
aware,
they're
actually
actively
debating
it
right
now,
I'm
getting
live
updates
as
we
speak.
Q
I
do
want
to
thank
you,
Miss
Wilson,
for
your
letter,
I
read
it
I
am
a
big
fan.
Thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
folks
who
have
asked
us
to
oppose
this
particular
legislation.
Q
I
Q
C
Q
In
support
of
that
particular
position,
I
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
that,
and
you
know
if
the
folks
in
Annapolis
think
that
they
want
to
just
mandate.
Education,
they're,
welcome
to
you,
know,
just
rewrite
the
law
and
do
it
themselves.
I
guess
so,
thanks
guys
or.
E
Thank
you,
I
was
monitoring
in
the
back,
I
had
something
to
tend
to,
but
what
happened
listening
so
I
just
wanted
to.
Let
people
know
that
I
I
have
not
been
at
completely
absent,
although
for
the
votes,
I
just
felt
compelled
to
take
a
minute
as
mabe's
president-elect
I
just
want
to.
E
First
thank
everybody
for
at
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public
Schools,
and
especially
you
Grace,
because
this
this
is
a
team
effort
and
I
will
just
tell
you
that
every
single
board
member
in
the
state
of
Maryland
will
be
receiving
the
call
to
action
and
a
call
to
action,
just
to
be
clear,
is
a
little
different
than
just
opposition.
E
This
is
because
of
the
level
of
a
grievous
impact
to
that
this
legislation
could
have
and
we
will
remain
steadfast
and
we
will
continue
to
reach
out
until
we
have
ensured
that
our
students
best
interest
is
being
observed,
and
in
the
absence
of
that,
we'll
continue,
regardless
of
the
outcome
of
this,
to
ensure
that
order
is
restored
appropriately,
because
this
is
this
is
one
that
everybody
should
be
very
concerned
about.
We
have
been
opposed
from
this
from
the
beginning,
and
this
comes
down
to
our
fundamental,
our
fundamental
jurisdiction.
E
There
is
no
point
of
having
an
elected
board
if
the
board
itself
does
not
have
the
ability
to
well
represent
its
constituents
and
its
community
and,
most
importantly,
it's
students.
So
thank
you
all
and
we've
got
a.
We
got
a
heavy
lift
in
the
next
several
weeks.
Folks,
so
thank
you
so
much
grace
for
all
you're,
doing
and
I
know
that
everybody
all
across
this
entire
state
shares
the
concerns
that
our
board
has
expressed.
For
this.
E
The
this
is
a
universal
nonpartisan
call
to
action
that
we
need
to
take,
and
this
is
our
moment
to
do
so.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
Ms
crocodile
I
I
would
just
like
to
add,
like
my
colleagues
I'm
deeply
concerned
about
this
bill
and
I
would
just
suggest
to
those
in
the
state
who
may
be
listening
just
at
the
moment
when
we
are
about
to
undertake
or
are
undertaking
this
Landmark
legislation.
That
requires
us
to
be
as
collaborative
as
possible
with
the
state
with
one
another
and
to
get
the
job
done
on
behalf
of
our
students.
C
There's
there's
no
question
about
that,
but
it's
a
big
lift
and
to
insert
something
like
this,
which
is
bad
on
its
own,
but
especially
at
this
moment,
I
find
well.
The
polite
term
is
short-sighted
and
I'll
stop
with
that,
but
I
I
would
I
would
hope
that
cooler
heads
prevail
and
some
sort
of
deeper
understanding
of
what's
required
to
actually
move
forward
for
our
students,
rather
than
whatever
politics
may
have
intervened
here,
comes
to
the
fore.
So
so
those
are
just
my
thoughts.
Ms
Ellis.
R
Thank
you,
I!
Don't
want
to
Echo
my
colleagues,
but
I
I
do
miss
porkito,
you
nailed
it
with
you
know.
What
are
we
all
here
for
If
This
Were
to
pass
and
I,
so
I
I
just
did
not
feel
comfortable
sitting
here,
silently
so
I
I
just
have
to
I.
This
is
this
is
so
radical
that
I'm
making
a
prediction
right
now
that
if
this
were
to
pass,
we
would
see
we
would
see
students
unenrolling
in
our
in
our
school
system.
R
Absolutely
I
I
firmly
believe
that
so
please,
I
I
urge
anyone
who
has
any
concerns,
or
is
anyone
any
aware
of
this
bill
in
any
way?
And
if
you're
not
please
look
into
it.
Please
contact
your
your
local
lawmakers.
H
Just
want
to
point
out
one
more
note:
listen
to
how
we're
in
lockstep
y'all
about
this.
This
covers
every
part
of,
although
we're
we
we
serve
as,
as
you
know,
non-partisan
we
run
as
nonpartisan
board
members
between
the
the
seven
of
us
here
today.
We
represent
probably
the
full
breadth
of
the
the
political
Spectrum,
and
we
all
think
this
bill
is
bad.
Just
saying
thanks.
C
Yeah
we're
we're
not
always
100
United,
but
I.
Think
we
pretty
much
are
in
this
case,
so
so
that
in
and
of
itself
might
be
the
next
Miracle
of
the
day.
So
Miss
corkito.
E
So
I'm
often
asked
what
you
can
do
and
I
just
want
to
I'd
hate
to
end
this
conversation
without
giving
some
suggestions
to
to
folks
who
are
listening
and
paying
attention,
perhaps
either
now
or
in
a
PostScript
review
of
the
video
and
I'll
just
say
this.
Yes,
emails
are
effective.
Yes,
letters
to
the
editor
are
effective,
both
the
Sun
and
our
local,
yes,
phone
calls
to
the
offices
of
the
folks
who
will
be
voting
on.
E
This
is
very,
very
important
that
is
notifying
your
Civic
organizations
and
anybody
who
has
an
interest
in
public
education
there.
There
should
be
no
Rock
left
Unturned
on
this
one.
So
we
appreciate
everybody
who
has
been
working.
I
know
a
lot
of
organizations
who
have
an
interest
in
public
education
have
been
following
this
and
let,
between
last
week
and
the
beginning,
part
of
this
week
has
has
been
feeling
the
burnt
of
the
next
move
that
this
legislation
has
been
turning
into.
E
So
thank
you
all
for
supporting
our
position
on
this,
because
you
are
really
supporting
our
students,
so
there
is
no
lack.
There
is
no
magic
number.
That
is
too
much
in
way
of
communicating
to
folks.
C
Okay,
thank
you
all
right
that
takes
us
to
item
7.0,
Force
students
course
related
field
fees,
code,
JG,.
J
I
Thank
you,
Dr
Bedell,
as
Dr
Bedell
said,
this
is
the
second
reading
for
policy
JG
student
fees,
fines
and
charges.
It
was
last
updated
on
in
1991.,
it's
being
updated
to
align
with
current
aacps
practice
and
the
requirements
of
the
blueprint
for
Maryland's
future
that
students,
meeting,
College
and
Career
ready
standards
will
have
access
to
post,
College
and
Career
Pathways
at
no
cost
to
students.
As
Dr
Bedell
said,
we've
received
no
comments
during
the
public
comment
period
and
with
that
I
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
on
this
policy.
C
Thank
you,
Ms
Wilson,
all
right
that
takes
us
to
items
7.05,
FY,
2024,
capital
budget
and
six-year
plan
modification.
All.
J
Right,
the
superintendent
recommends
approval
of
increasing
the
state
funding
request
for
the
FY
24
2024
capital
budget.
K
Okay,
so
you're,
probably
thinking
to
yourself,
we
just
adopted
our
capital
budget
on
February
15th.
Why
are
we
at
the
very
next
board
meeting
available
back
here,
asking
you
to
adopt
it
again?
Well,
sometimes,
timing
between
our
our
statutory
requirements
and
the
state's
release
of
data
and
funding,
don't
always
align,
and
so
here
we
are
so
on
February
9th
the
IAC
did
adopt
its
90
recommendations
for
funding,
but
that
signaled
to
24
leas
that
additional
funding
would
be
available
on
February
the
17th.
Two
days
after
we
adopted
our
budget.
K
That
guidance
was
released
with
our
targets,
and
so
good
news
is
the
the
governor
has
put
in
a
total
of
485
million
dollars
to
date
in
the
capital
budget
of
which
we
are
targeted
to
receive
approximately
45.5
million,
which
is
a
great
which
is
a
great
number.
So
that's
about
14
million
dollars
over
where
we
were
anticipating
our
Target
was
31.6.
K
In
addition
to
that,
there's
for
the
last
couple
years
now,
we've
had
this
new
additional
funding,
for
it's
called
enrollment
growth
and
relocatable
classrooms,
and
it
has
signal
to
us
that
we
would
be
receiving
an
additional
8.8
million
dollars
on
top
of
that
and
so
right.
So
all
in
we're
looking
at
increase
of
what
we
what
you
voted
on
on
February
15th
of
about
22.8
million
dollars.
So
that
is
the
good
news
also
in
that
memo
on
the
17th
from
the
IAC.
K
They
did
stipulate,
however,
that
there
was
some
additional
hurdles.
We'd
have
to
go
through
and
it
is
exactly
mirrors
the
process
that
we
go
through
in
September
and
so
the
the
the
wreck.
The
the
process
includes
a
board
vote
on
our
recommended
our
recommendation
for
projects,
and
then
they
will
be
seeking
a
county
Support
letter
as
well.
So,
of
course,
what's
unique
about
Anne
Arundel
county.
Is
the
county
executive
can't
send
that
support
level
letter
without
Council
approval?
K
So,
with
your
vote
to
approve
today,
we
will
send
the
resolution
over
to
the
county
executive
we've
been
in
discussions
with
them.
They
will
have
a
letter
of
support
sent
to
the
council,
we're
looking
at
a
late,
March
council
meeting
for
approval.
The
IAC
has
given
districts
until
April
13th
for
those
County
support
letters
to
to
come
forward,
and
so
the
exhibit
shows
most
of
the
money
is
going
into
the
to
the
cat
North
project
and
so
we're
not
changing
our
bottom
line.
K
Total
we're
just
lowering
the
county
request
and
increasing
the
state
request,
based
on
the
latest
guidance
from
the
IAC
and
I
will
say
in
one
final
one
final
thing:
while
we're
all
you
know
team
Maryland,
there
is
a
potential
if
the
state
of
Maryland
loses
the
FBI
head
headquarters
to
Virginia
that
additional
100
million
Statewide
may
come
into
the
school
construction
program.
K
But
you
know
I,
think
the
governor
and
his
team
would
at
the
moment,
prefer
to
see
that
FBI
headquarters
stay
in
or
come
to
Maryland,
but
there
is
also
the
IAC
had
signal
that
potential
as
well,
so
there
could
be
more
changes
coming.
But
for
now
we've
presented
to
you
what
we
know,
and
so
we
are
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
C
Thank
you.
Well,
it's
nice
to
hear
some
good
news,
even
if
we
do
have
to
jump
through
hoops
to
to
to
get
it
so
Ms
shulheim
I
see
your
light.
H
C
E
It's
always
going
to
similarly,
except
for
just
add
the
comment
that
I
am
happy
to
continue
to
update
this
as
long
as
money
keeps
coming
in,
especially
for
the
turf
field
down
at
Southern.
High
School
I
am
still
hopeful.
We
still
got
a
few
weeks
to
go
before
we're
going
to
know
but
I'm
hoping
to
see
this
back
at
our
first
April
meeting,
quite
frankly
with
that
modification,
if
at
all
possible.
So
thank
you
for
all
you
do.
E
I
was
going
to
suggest
that
once
questions
are
done,
I
I'm
happy
to
do
that,
but
I'll
second
Miss
shohan
at
the
appropriate
time.
