and
dr

good
evening.
I
am
michelle

assistant

curriculum
and
instruction,
and
I'm
here,

eleni

I
have
the
great
pleasure
of
introducing
this
evening's
board
recognition,
members
of
the
board
and
dr
rolotto.
G
G
The
theme
this
year
was,
if
I
cannot
do
great
things,
I
can
do
small
things
in
great
ways.
Through
this
statement
in
1964,
dr
martin
luther
king
jr
was
referencing.
The
recent
turmoil
and
violence
in
our
country,
but
through
a
vision
and
hope
for
peace
students,
were
recognized
to
reflect
upon
what
that
statement
meant
to
them,
both
as
a
future
leader
and
change
agent
for
peace
and
equality
for
all
these
young
artists
conceptualized.
That
idea
through
their
art
form,
and
they
did
so
brilliantly.
G
G
G
H
J
If
I
just
may,
as
the
representative
of
south
river
high
school,
just
extend
how
proud
we
are
as
a
community
in
what
our
school
has
done
to
support
such
such
talent
and
skill,
that
is
not
only
unique
but
inspiring
to
our
community
and
so
on
behalf
of
south
river
high
school's
district.
I
want
to
thank
you
personally
for
what
you
have
done
and
will
continue
to
do.
J
K
Dr
tobin,
mr
silkworth,
members
of
the
board
of
education
and
dr
arlatto,
I'm
caroline
mccurdy,
director
of
partnerships,
development
and
marketing,
and
I
have
the
honor
of
presenting
this
evening's
second
recognition.
The
21st
century
education
foundation
is
the
education
foundation
for
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools.
It
raises
essential
funds
and
awareness
for
programs
and
initiatives
that
support
aacps
in
five
critical
areas:
student
programs,
access
to
technology,
college
and
career
readiness,
family
and
community
engagement
and
employee
recognition
and
development.
K
This
school
year,
the
business
professionals
and
community
leaders
who
volunteer
their
time
to
serve
on
the
board
of
directors
for
the
foundation
voted
to
approve
a
new
employee
recognition
program.
With
the
support
of
dr
arlatto
and
the
office
of
school
performance,
the
principal
of
the
year
program
was
established
this
evening.
We
are
here
to
recognize
six
principals,
who
were
selected
as
finalists.
K
K
She
creates
and
maintains
a
safe,
welcoming
and
engaging
learning
environment
in
the
ib
pyp
school.
She
adopted
the
kids
at
hope,
program
and
aligned
it
to
the
school-wide
pbis
program,
so
that
teachers
and
staff
would
see
themselves
as
caring
adults
fostering
student
learning.
It
was
this
alignment
that
has
earned
frank
hebron,
harmon
elementary,
the
distinction
of
pbis
gold
every
year
since
2010.,
mrs
blass
blasingamewhite
frequently
asks
her
staff.
K
K
K
She
is
committed
to
service
and
surrounds
herself
with
exceptional
people
who
are
equally
committed
to
service,
such
as
the
anne
arundel
county
fire
and
police
department's
freetown,
improvement
association,
the
boys
and
girls
club
and
the
rotary
club
of
lakeshore
severna
park.
She
collaborates
with
colleagues
both
within
and
outside
of
aacps,
to
bring
forth
innovative
educational
approaches
to
improve
teaching
and
student
learning.
K
Ms
edmonds
encourages
her
faculty
to
think
creatively
regarding
not
only
instruction
but
family
engagement,
whether
it
be
in
person
or
virtual
with
attendance
in
the
hundreds
freetown
offers
family
fridays
with
with
focused
parent
workshops,
as
one
parent
shared.
Not
only
was
ms
edmonds
there
to
support
my
child,
but
also
to
give
me
the
support
and
encouragement
along
the
way
to
ensure
his
success.
K
When
she
arrived
at
belvedere
elementary
as
principal
in
2016,
ms
lambda
quickly
recognized
that
many
of
the
students
in
the
diverse
population
were
capable
of
accessing
advanced
curriculum.
She
provided
effective
professional
learning,
experiences
to
support
school
improvement
goals
in
the
areas
of
special
education,
gifted
and
talented
education,
social,
emotional
needs
and
environmental
literacy.
K
Ms
lambton
is
recognized
as
an
outstanding
leader,
both
locally
and
nationally,
presenting
at
numerous
conferences
and
being
named
as
the
2018
outstanding
school
system
administrator
by
the

Winterbottom.
K
How
does
a
principal
play
an
active
role
in
the
classroom
for
marley
middle
school
principal
kimberly
winterbottom?
The
answer
is
obvious:
they
are
there.
Mrs
winterbottom
is
present
for
observations,
learning
walks
peer
visits,
professional
development
and
collaborative
planning.
She
holds
her
leadership
team
to
a
high
standard
requiring
state
of
the
department
meetings
with
her
to
analyze
academic
performance
through
teacher
and
student
data.
K
K
K
In
addition
to
her
focus
on
students
and
families,
mrs
walsh
also
prioritizes
camaraderie
and
team
spirit.
As
one
of
the
tyler
heights.
Teachers
explains
julia
foster's
team
spirit
throughout
the
whole
school
and
on
a
small
scale.
Every
week
we
celebrate
each
other's
kindness
and
accomplishments.
It
is
a
wonderful
way
to
come
together
as
a
school
team.
K
L
M
B
I've
I've
had
the
privilege
of
being
at
some
of
the
saturday
morning.
Events
at
the
opening
this
fall
of
the
new
building
in
some
ways,
and
what
you
have
built
is
incredible
and
is
so
powerful
in
this
community,
and
you
are
an
incredible
educator
and
also
ambassador
for
aacps
throughout
the
community.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
So
if
those
of
you
who
want
to
leave
want
to
take
a
moment,
well,
let
everybody
or
you
could
stay.
D
Though
all
of
our
finalists
have
left
the
room
just
to
have
it
on
the
record,
I
do
not
envy
the
person
who
had
to
choose
between
all
of
those
women
because
it
seems
like
almost
an
impossible
choice.
Of
course,
mrs
walsh,
I've
attended
a
visit
to
tyler
heights
elementary
with
dr
tobin
and
that
school
just
looks
magical.
I
kind
of
wish
I
got
to
go
to
elementary
school
there,
because
it's
and
the
new
building
doesn't
hurt
either
but
just
personal
privilege,
because
my
principal
was
one
of
the
finalists.
D
B
Thank
you.
Okay
item
3.01
president's
report.
I
don't
have
a
report
tonight.
Item
3.02
equity
committee
report.
Ms
I'm
sorry,
I
do
have
a
report
tonight.
D
So
at
our
last
equity
meeting-
and
this
was
an
agenda
item
that
I
had
on
for
many
many
meetings,
but
that
always
got
pushed
back
or
postponed,
but
it
relates
to
projects
to
memorialize
the
late,
miss
candace,
cw
antwine,
who
still
is
very
dear
to
all
of
us
on
the
board.
I
think
that
goes
without
saying,
and
one
thing
that
I
know
during
my
short
time
of
getting
to
know
miss
antoine
is
that
she
was
passionate
about
the
military
and
military
families
and
so
going
into
2022.
D
I
decided
that
I
would
like
the
equity
committee
to
take
upon
the
project
of
creating
a
military
forum
for
military
students,
preferably
with
them
moderating
being
panelists
and
to
have
their
experience
in
acps
known
to
the
wide
community,
and
so
that's
what
we're
working
on
right.
Now,
it's
supposed
to
be
in
april,
which
is
the
month
of
the
military
child
right
and
it's
in
a
project
that
I
would
say,
I'm
not
going
to
speak
for
everyone
on
the
equity
committee.
But
I'll
just
say
it
seems
like
we're
really
all
excited.
D
For
I
mean
we're
really
all
excited
to
see
how
it
takes
off
and
I'm
excited
to
see
one
many
of
the
different
students
on
and
off
base
south
and
north
county
who
share
that
experience
of
having
a
parent
or
having
a
relative
that
is
gold,
star
veteran
active
duty.
What
have
you
and
so
I'm
very
excited
to
see
how
it
comes
together.
Of
course,
there's
gonna
be
an
ongoing
project
so
check
back
in
april
for
the
final
product,
but
that's
what
the
equity
committee
has
going
on
right
now.
B
Yes,
and
it
is
very
exciting.
Thank
you,
mr
missouri

was
impressive
and
allowed
for
a
wide
range
of
perspectives,
not
two-sided,
one
or
the
other,
but
a
diamond
representing
multi-faceted
views.

Q
Such
commitment
from
the
board
and
cac
membership
continually
strengthens
the
o,
the
cac
overall.
As
always,
we
welcome
your
feedback
and
look
forward
to
a
year
with
purpose
direction
and
results,
and
on
a
side
note,
I
would
like
to
thank
our
board
member
who
visited
with
our
committee
at
our
last
meeting
michelle
corcodell.
Thank
you
for
the
insights
and
also
the
information
that
to
help
our
hate
and
bias
in
terms
of
scope
and
looking
at
the
privacy
issues.
R
R
R
R
If
the
department
of
health
makes
that
decision,
the
school
will
close
and
operate
virtually
over
the
past
week
or
beginning
tomorrow
we
have
temporarily
paused
in-person
instruction
at
several
schools
for
a
five-day
period.
Students
and
staff
will
operate
in
the
virtual
environment
during
this
time.
R
The
first
off
ramp
or
first
option
for
a
county
is
at
least
80
percent
of
the
county's
population
is
fully
vaccinated
per
the
reporting
of
the
maryland
department
of
health
and
that's
important,
because
there
are
different
reporting
mechanisms.
You
could
see
different
numbers
from
different
reporting
agencies
and
they
don't
always
match
because
they
have
there
may
be
lags
in
the
reporting
time.
So
the
the
regulatory
language
says,
as
per
the
maryland
department
of
health
reporting,
currently
according
to
their
website.
R
The
second
possible
off-ramp
for
school
systems
to
undertake
for
the
lifting
of
the
mask
regulations
is
when
at
least
80
percent
of
the
students
and
staff
of
a
school
facility
are
fully
vaccinated,
and
the
last
is
that
the
county
or
possibility
is
that
the
county
has
sustained
14
consecutive
days
of
moderate
or
low
covid19
transmission
rates
per
the
cdc
reporting
again
important
to
know,
because
different
mech
different
reporting
groups
post
their
data
at
different
times.
R
Currently
on
the
cdc
reporting
website,
we
are
still
in
the
high
range,
not
in
the
moderate
or
low
range,
so
those
are
in
place.
R
We
will
follow
the
data
along
with
our
partners
in
the
department
of
health
and
if
we
become
close
to
or
reach
one
of
those
metrics
and
those
those
one
of
these
off
ramps.
I'll
we'll
talk
as
a
board,
you
will
I'll
present
the
information
and
we
can
then
make
decisions
moving
forward.
R
We
are
anticipating
final
word
on
the
state's
rules,
committee
and
msde's
final
adoption
of
the
van
transport
implementation
regulations
and
finally,
there
are
currently
five
drivers
awaiting
their
mva
road
test
for
final
certification
and
16
driver
candidates
in
the
pipeline.
At
this
juncture,
and
with
that,
madam
president,
I'll
turn
it
back
to
you.
B
Thank
you,
dr
alato.
Ms
scholheim,
your
light
is
on.
O
Yes,
thank
you
for
your
report.
Grateful
for
it
is
some
of
us
might
be
aware.
The
the
federal
government
is
now
offering
up
to
four
at-home
rapid
tests
per
household,
and
so
you
know,
whilst
we're
waiting
on
our
tests,
to
give
out
to
students.
That
might
be
something
we
might
consider
at
least
broadcasting
out
to
our
community.
O
So
for
those
in
the
audience
or
listening
at
home,
you
can
request
your
tests
at
covid
tests.
That's
covid
test
with
an
s
on
the
end,
dot
gov
and
you
can
go
to
the
the
site.
I
did
it
yesterday
and
request
for
free
up
to
four
tests
per
household,
so
that
might
help
families
while
they're,
while
we're
waiting
on
that.
So.
R
Indeed,
and
to
that
end-
and
I
don't
interrupt-
but
if
I
could
add,
there's
also
been
a
change
with
the
regulations
regarding
healthcare,
and
so
now
healthcare
providers
are
required
to
reimburse
for
tests
purchased
to
be
used
at
home,
and
there
are
some.
There
are
some
limits
to
that
which
I
don't
have
in
front
of
me,
but
that
begin
that
takes
hold
january
january.
15Th
is
when
that
took
hold,
so
that
is
also
another
option.
While
we
are
waiting
for
tests
that
families
can
avail
themselves
of.
Thank
you.
R
O
And
so
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
like
if,
if
we
wanted
to
maybe
put
that
in
english
and
spanish-
and
you
know
just
as
a
get
that
out
to
folks
about
the
way
they
can
get
tests
for
free
and
the
interim,
that
might
be
one
one
way
to
to
help
with
the
demand
for
those
things.
So
thank
you
so
much
as
always
for
the
information
and
your
report
appreciate
it.
B
Thank
you,
ms
omisori.
D
Thank
you,
dr
alato,
for
another
great
superintendent's
report
and
I
was
very
excited
I
did
not
know
you
were
going
to
announce
this
meeting,
but
I
had
obviously
I
know
the
state's
mob,
so
he's
been
talking
a
lot
about
off-ramps
for
masking,
and
so
I'm
really
excited
to
see
it
take
hold.
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
about
it,
though,
so
in
terms
of
a
school
particular
school
being
80
percent
or
more
of
staff
and
students
fully
vaccinated.
R
R
So
this
is
part
of
the
difficulty
of
this
off-ramp
that
my
that
myself
and
my
colleagues,
the
other
superintendents
around
the
state,
because
there
is
not
a
mechanism
yet
for
us
to
collect
that
data
right
now.
It
is
purely
self-reported.
We
do
have
a
mechanism
and
have
collected
the
data
from
our
staff.
So
we
know
in
each
of
the
buildings
the
staff
that
are
either
fully
vaccinated,
not
vaccinated
or
have
chosen
not
to
share
that
information
with
us,
and
they
certainly
have
that.
We've
always
given
them
that
option.
R
If
there
is
any
tell-tale
sign
at
all,
the
vaccination
status
for
the
5
to
11
year
old,
so
those
elementary
age,
students
in
anne
arundel
county,
just
to
use
as
a
marker,
is
fairly
low.
I
think
it
is
around
32
percent
in
anne
arundel
county,
it's
higher
as
you
get
into
the
secondary
schools,
middle
and
the
high
schools,
but
I
don't
know
that
is
yet
near
80
percent
for
the
students.
It
is
for
many
of
our
staff.
D
Okay
well.
Well,
I
actually
wasn't
expecting
that
answer,
because
now
I'm
just
trying
to
stick
to
the
two
question
rule.
I
appreciate
it
yeah
so
with
that
you
said
self-reporting
because
so
let's
say
I'm
not
boomi,
I'm
just
some
random
kid
who's.
Also
naming
me
who
goes
to
my
school
and
I'm
like
well,
I
know
most
of
my
friends
are
vaccinated
and
I
go
to
miss
davenport
and
I
say
well.
Why
can't
we
stop
wearing
masks?
Everyone
I
know
is
vaccinated.
D
Is
it
incumbent
upon
the
school
to
track
their
own
self-reporting
or
is
there
resources?
I
know
that
you
said
there
is
an
official
surveying
system
yet,
but
you
said
right
now:
it's
based
on
self-reporting
will
be
the
process
for
a
school
that
it's
like.
Oh,
I
just
found
this
out.
I
want
to
take
advantage
of
it
right
now.
R
So
there
isn't
one:
it
is
a
self-reporting
mech.
It
will
have
to
be
a
self-reporting
mechanism,
but
there
is
no
way
for
the
schools
to
collect
that
data.
We'll
have
to
build
that
for
them.
The
way
the
regulatory
language
is
written,
it
actually
puts
the
onus
on
the
school
to
do
that,
so
the
school
principal
has
to
verify
it.
We're
not
going
to
do
that
to
the
schools
we're
going
to
have
to
create
a
mechanism
and
help
them
collect
that
data.
R
Absolutely
I'm
not
going
to
ask
the
principals
to
collect
that
data.
Make
a
determination
about
80
percent
of
their
staff
is
vaccinated.
All
right.
R
Are
some
caveats
like
somebody
that
is?
Has
a
somebody
has
a
medical
exemption
or
the
student
is
not
yet
of
age
to
get
vaccinated?
So
there
are
some
caveats
about
what
those
numerators
and
denominators
will
be
to
get
to
that
80
percent.
F
In-School
cases
are
drastically
reducing,
I'm
very,
very
pleased
with
that
data.
We
have
had
some
concerns
brought
up
recently
about
some
of
the
changes
that
have
been
occurring
lately
specifically,
and
we
had
children
who
were
being
required
to
mask
during
recess,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
very
upset
about
that
when
those
decisions
are
made
and
this
kind
of
dovetails
with
my
next
question
as
well,
who
is
the
final
arbiter
of
those
decisions?
Is
it
the
county
executive,
the
health
officer
you
who
has
the
final
say
in
in
those
types
of
decisions.
R
Now
it
comes
to
me
from
the
health
officer
whose
guidance
is
who
we
have
continued
to
follow
since
the
beginning,
and
so
through.
It
was
his
advice
and
it
was
his
advice
that
I
followed
on
the
recess.
It
was
that
we
should
mask,
and
then
it
was
on
his
advice,
and
I
took
that
advice
and
implemented
that
we
don't
any
longer
have
to
ask.
R
The
health
department,
health
officer,
those
are
not
decisions
made
by
the
superintendent
and
I've
made
that
when
dr
k
was
last
with
us
in
a
meeting-
and
I
also
have
shared
that
with
the
board-
that
there
is
advice
and
then
there
is
the
illegal
authority
and
when
it
comes
to
outbreaks,
that's
not
something
in
the
decision-making
tree
of
the
superintendent.
It
is
solely
the
the
authority
of
the
of
the
health
officer.
F
Okay
and
then
I
don't
know
if
I
have
time
for
another
question,
but
if
we
don't
have
time
for
this
question,
a
lot
of
folks
have
also
asked
about
rescheduling,
homecoming
and
moving
forward
with
other
spring
events.
So
if
I
am
not
able
to
ask
that
question,
if
we
could
get
some
guidance
on
that
as
a
follow-up,
that
would
be
fantastic.
B
Okay,
miss
ellis.
S
Thanks
so
it's
come
to
my
attention
that
and
dr
alato
I've
asked
you
some
questions
about
the
the
coveted
positive
cases
and
the
fact
that
students
are
being
required
to
isolate
for
10
days
versus
the
five
days.
That's
on
the
cdc
website
as
their
guidance,
and
it
is
on
posted
on
our
website
that
the
reason
for
that
is
for
because
of
lunches
and
students
taking
their
mask
off
to
eat
lunch
and
therefore
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
keep
a
mask
on
for
the
following
five
days,
which
is
also
in
the
guidance.
S
So
I've
seen
a
letter
from
the
department
of
the
maryland
department
of
health
and
the
state
department
of
education.
Are
you
aware
of
the
difference
in
that
guidance,
from
what
we're
doing.
R
S
Oh
wow,
okay,
that.
R
And
that's
the
reason
that
I
bring
it
up.
That's
I
just
wanted
you
know
I
am.
I
am
absolutely
aware
of
that
letter.
I
became
aware
of
that
letter.
I
don't
know
just
prior
to
closed
session,
beginning
wow,
and
it
was
sent
from
mr
mosher
to
me
and
members
of
our
team
as
a
result
of
being
posted
to
the
facebook
page
of
the
maryland
state
department
of
education.
C
S
Gonna
quickly
read
the
part
in
the
next
couple
days
of
note,
because
people
might
not
know
what
we're
talking
about.
But
in
the
letter
there's
an
asterisk
and
it's
the
state
department
of
health
is
recommending
the
five-day
isolation
for
positive,
coveted
cases.
S
A
mask
and
yes
m
and
msde
and
wearing
a
mask
an
additional
five
days,
as
is
in
the
cdc
guidance,
but
in
this
letter
there's
an
asterisk
and
it
says
note
for
people
who
are
returning
either
from
isolation
after
a
positive
coven,
19
test
or
quarantine
after
exposure.
The
recommendation
is
that
masks
may
be
removed
only
when
eating
and
during
nap
time
unmasked
time
should
be
minimized
and
physical,
distancing
and
ventilation
maximize.
S
During
these
times,
people
should
not
be
participating
in
any
other
activities
unmasked.
So
this
is.
This
guidance
seems
to
indicate
that
our
reason
currently
for
imposing
a
10-day
isolation
and
or
quarantine
may
no
longer
be
necessary.
So
what's
the
next
step,
you
will
have
a
conversation
with
dr
k
and.
R
Yes,
ma'am,
we
have
forwarded
said
letter
to
dr
k
for
in
his
team's
review.
As
you
know,
we
meet
every
thursday
afternoon.
We
have
for
two
years
and
so
we'll
meet,
and
that
will
be
an
agenda
item
and
I'll
ask
them
for
their
analysis
and
input,
because
the
maryland
department
of
health
has
also
signed
off
on
said
letter.
R
I
would
assume
that
dr
k
may
already
be
aware
of
it
or
soon
to
be
aware
of
it,
because
it's
coming
from
maryland
department,
health
and
is
you
know
the
health
officers
of
24
districts
meet
regularly
with
dr
chen
and
her
team
at
the
maryland
department
health.
So
that
will
be
part
of
our
conversation
and
I
will
seek
guidance
during
tomorrow's
meeting.
R
R
S
I'm
sorry
one
more
thing
just
pleased
that
transportation
is
going
in
the
right
direction
and
I
did
a
parent
reach
out
to
me
very
excited
about
the
active
activity
buses
running
at
arundel
middle
and
they
were
just
ecstatic
so
still
wanted.
B
To
point
that
out,
thank
you.
Yes,
I
wanted
to
add
a
couple
of
buses
that
had
been
missing
for
a
long
time
in
the
annapolis.
Rolling
knolls
roots
are
finally
running,
and
that
is
wonderful,
wonderful
news,
ms
shalham,
did
you
put
your
light
on
again.
O
If
it's
still,
okay,
okay,
so
when
we
go
when
we
talk
about
self-reporting,
that's
like
an
honor
code
thing
where
we
attest.
If
we've,
if
we've
been
vaccinated
or
not,
will
we
will
will
anyone
at
any
time
have
to
show
cards
as
they
do
and
other
situations
or
is
that
just
an
honor?
Would
that
be
an
honor
code
thing
at
that
time?.
R
O
I
mean
I
know
we
all
want
this
to
be
behind
us,
but
for
it
actually
to
be
behind
us,
we
can't
wish
it
or
pretend
it
away.
There
has
to
be
real
data
there
to
back
it
up.
So
thank
you
that
was
that
was
my
question.
B
N
R
I
am
delighted
to
talk
about
spring
events,
and
homecoming,
so
homecoming
is
you're.
Well
aware
is
a
is
a
fall
event.
We
put
a
pause
on
that
pending
the
the
improvement
of
our
covet
situation
here
in
the
county,
so
I
have
talked
with
a
principal
of
a
high
school
principal
advisory
and
I'll
get
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
all
the
high
school
principals
tomorrow
and
part
of
that
conversation
will
be
around
homecoming,
prom
and
graduations.
R
So
we,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
the
schools
can
plan
a
homecoming
event,
but
that
will
be,
of
course,
the
caveat
in
all
of
this
discussion.
As
I
share
with
you
this
evening,
we
don't
know
what
the
crystal
ball
will
will
bring
us
when
it
comes
time
for
a
prom,
a
graduation
or
some
kind
of
homecoming
event,
we
could
be
massed,
we
could
be
distanced,
we
could
have,
we
could
have
capacity
limitations
like
we've
had
in
the
past.
R
I
just
don't
know,
but
but
I
will
be
letting
the
high
school
principals
know
that
they
can
move
forward
with
planning
those
events
in
their
communities.
If
they
so
choose
in
terms
of
homecoming,
they
will
absolutely
be
planning,
for.
We
are
already
started
the
planning
for
graduations
at
live
event
center.
We
will
be
again
meeting
with
high
school
principals
tomorrow.
R
R
We
didn't
get
to
use
that
information
and
knowledge,
we're
taking
them
back
for
a
tour,
so
we
can
go
through
the
planning,
the
same
member
of
the
office
of
school
performance,
the
director
of
office
of
school
performance,
mr
jim
todd,
will
be
heading
that
initiative
in
planning
graduations
and
supporting
each
of
the
high
schools
with
their
graduations,
and
so
that
planning
is
underway,
for
we
already
have
dates
that
have
gone
out
to
the
schools,
and
we
have
that
week
that
first
week
in
june
secured
for
you
our
use
of
the
live
event
center
for
commencement
exercises.
R
Likewise,
for
proms
I'll
give
the
high
school
principals
the
green
light
with
their
teams
to
plan
for
high
school
proms,
they
can
look
for
a
venue.
They
can
sign
a
contract.
We
will
assist
them
in
that
work.
In
that
contract
negotiation
work,
as
we
always
do,
but
again
it's
income.
It
will
be
incumbent
upon
the
principals
and
their
planners
for
these
events,
and
I'm
saying
it
to
you
and
I'll
continue
to
say
it.
R
We
don't
know
where
we
will
be
with
mitigation
strategies,
and
so
you
could
very
well
have
a
prom
where
we're
wearing
masks
or
we're
having
to
distance
at
graduation
which
could
limit
the
number
of
tickets
that
are
distributed
to
parents.
I
hope
none
of
that
comes
true,
but
are
possibilities
because
we
I
just
can't
guarantee
anything,
but
what
we're
not
going
to
do
is
say
no
to
those
events,
we're
going
to
start
the
planning
and
we're
moving
forward.
J
J
Could
you
share
with
the
board?
Maybe
what
the
plan
would
be
to
advise
the
board
on
some
of
the
learning
laws
and
when
we
can
expect
to
see
what
some
of
the
summer
game
plan
is
and
rolling
into
the
fall
just
sort
of
a
little
preview
of
what
we
can
expect
to
see
in
that
regard
on
under
better
understanding?
Now
that
we
have
some
data
coming
in.
R
So
I'm
not
prepared
to
answer
that
question.
What
I
can
tell
you
is
that
the
summer
this
summer
is
going
to
look
very
this
upcoming
summer's
gonna
look
very
similar
to
this
past
summer.
It
will
be
very
robust.
We
were
using
a
lot
of
our
both
sr2
and
esser
3
funding
to
pay
staff
and
to
pay
for
the
camps
and
and
and
academic
and
enrichment
activities
for
the
students.
So
it's
going
to
look
very
similar.
R
We're
hoping
we'll
always
offer
some
some
virtual
for
those
students
that
are
more
comfortable
or
their
families
more
comfortable
in
that
environment,
but
we'll
continue
and
we
hope
to
increase
the
amount
of
in-person
engagement
and
it's
going
to
be
very
dynamic
as
it
was
this
past
summer
and
that's
what
this
summer
and
the
next
summer
will
look
like
we're
very
excited
about
that.
Our
tutoring
sessions
are
up
and
running.
So
you
talk
about
learning
laws,
those
things
are
happening
from
the
summer
and
then
into
the
fall
and
then
we'll
go
through
the
spring.
R
R
J
And
could
you
maybe
just
go
for
one
more
time
for
the
parent's
sake,
how
they
can
engage
their
local
school
community
in
if
they
have
concerns
or
better
understanding
how
it
relates
to
their
student
and
maybe
in
the
course
of
identification
they
may
not
be
in
that
category,
but
want
to
kind
of
start.
Initiate
those
conversations-
and
I
know
we
had
our
bigger
conferences,
we
tend
to
have
in
the
fall
and
identify
that.
J
R
Absolutely
so
what
I
would
say
and
thank
you
for
the
question-
is
those
parents
should
reach
out
to
their
school
principal
assistant,
principal
and
importantly,
their
school
counselor
and
have
that
conversation
with
them
about
their
individual
child
they'll,
be
able
to
talk
about
how
the
student
is
doing
currently
in
their
classes,
whether
it's
elementary
middle
or
high
school,
and
then
what
resources
are
available?
R
What
tutoring
is
available
during
the
course
of
the
day
in
the
afternoons
and
then
in
the
evenings,
and
we
have
that's
our
secondary
tutoring
that
is
available
five
evenings
a
week
for
students
to
take
advantage
of.
So
I
think
it's
a
great
question.
Thank
you
for
asking
to
give
me
the
opportunity
to
encourage
parents
to
reach
out
to
their
school,
certainly
their
teacher
or
teachers,
but
the
school
counselor
and
the
the
school
administration
will
have
direct
knowledge
of
those
supports
that
are
in
place
that
their
children
can
take
advantage
of.
J
Yeah,
I
think
sometimes
you
know
you
know
as
a
parent,
it's
there,
but
being
reminded
of
that.
As
we
have
conversations
I
mean
I
personally
am
not
a
fan
of
the
phrase:
learning
loss,
just
as
I'm
not
a
fan
of
achievement
gap
versus
opportunity-
I
think
you
know,
recovery
educational
recovery
is
is
where
I
like
to
be
more
focused,
because
I
think
it
has
implies
that
the
objective
and
the
outcome
better
than
the
realities
of
varying
degrees,
of
of
losses
per
se.
But
thank
you
very
much.
B
Okay,
then.
Thank
you,
dr
aletto.
That's
all
great
advice,
much
appreciated,
okay
item
section,
four
public
comments:
shall
we
do
in
person
first
and
then
or
okay,
let's,
let's,
we
have
folks
who've
been
waiting,
so,
let's
in
here
in
the
building.
So
let's
begin
with
in
person.
B
V
Good
evening
dr
alato
and
this
board
has
relied
on
the
partisan
appointed
health
official,
dr
callen
eriman's
guidance
for
two
years
and
making
decisions
regarding
school
operations.
Yet
neither
this
board
nor
dr
k
have
addressed
the
real
pandemic
in
our
children,
their
decline
in
school
performance
and
mental
health.
From
these
unscientific
and
ineffective
mandates.
V
Dr
k
has
led
aacps
down
a
singularly
focused
path
following
a
clear
political
agenda,
while
turning
a
blind
eye
to
the
detrimental
effects.
These
decisions
are
having
on
our
youth,
we're
starting
to
see
undeniable
proof
of
what
parents
have
been
shouting
from
the
rooftops
for
two
years
now.
The
results
of
the
fall
mcap
are
sobering.
Just
15
percent
of
maryland's
public
school
students
pass
math
and
35
past
english.
The
greatest
single
year
decline
in
two
decades
at
dr
k's
direction.
V
Schools
in
anne
arundel
county
were
some
of
the
last
of
the
county
in
the
country
to
return
into
in-person
learning,
which
directly
negatively
affected
these
scores
and
now
we're
shutting
seven
schools
down
again
in
our
county.
In
addition,
the
u.s
surgeon
general
has
issued
an
advisory
to
quote,
highlight
the
urgent
need
to
address
the
nation's
youth
mental
health
crisis,
calling
for
a
swift
and
coordinated
response
to
improve
the
mental
health
of
children.
V
The
cdc
has
also
sounded
the
alarm
on
a
rise
and
suicide
attempts
in
children
since
2019,
and
a
study
conducted
by
the
non-profit,
fair
health
found
a
sharp
increase
in
mental
health
problems,
especially
anxiety,
depression,
eating
disorders
and
intentional
self-harm.
The
american
academy
of
pediatrics
has
even
declared
that
children's
mental
health
is
a
national
emergency.
Again,
our
children
are
not.
Okay.
Has
dr
k
heated
these
alarms
for
a
swift
and
coordinated
response
to
the
mental
health
crises
in
our
children,
or
was
he
too
busy
sidestepping
the
county
council's
vote?
V
B
B
V
Before
I
speak
for
my
two
minute
start,
I
had
prepared
this
before
finding
out
tonight
that
there
were
additional
schools
that
were
closed,
so
just
wanted
to
make
that
known
so
mayo
elementary
school
and
now
six
other
schools
have
been
closed
due
to
a
covenanting
outbreak
declared
a
school-wide
emergency
in
the
two
weeks
preceding
this
closure
at
mayo,
18,
students
and
staff
members
tested
positive
for
coven
or
nearly
five
percent
of
the
school's
population.
V
This
prompted
the
anne
arundel
county
department
of
health
to
declare
an
outbreak
and
aacps
closing
this
school
and
now
six
others
for
five
days
again.
This
occurred
at
the
direction
of
dr
kellen
airman,
an
unelected
physician
who
does
not
work
for
our
school
system
with
political
aspirations
who,
combined
with
stuart
pittman,
has
exerted
unprecedented
control
over
our
schools
under
the
guise
of
a
health
emergency.
V
I
saw
before
this
board
run
dr
alado
stated
last
month
that
it
was
a
goal
of
aacps
to
keep
our
schools
open
and
schools
would
only
close.
Should
there
not
be
enough
healthy
staff.
Yet
tonight
now
we're
finding
out.
That's
not
the
case,
so
mayo
was
closed
with
18
out
of
372
students
and
staff
testing
positive
only
around
a
4.8
positivity
rate,
where
any
of
these
case
false
positives.
This
was
over
a
two-week
time
span
were
any
of
these
people
able
to
come
back
after
five
days
were
any
asymptomatic.
V
What
is
the
aacps
criteria
for
shutting
schools
down?
Why
would
we
repeat
the
insanity
of
shutting
schools
down
which
did
nothing
to
benefit
but
instead
greatly
harmed
our
children?
The
first
time
around
speaking
of
insanity?
Last
week
an
email
went
out
to
parents
at
a
local
elementary
school
from
several
teachers
regarding
snack
protocol.
Please
tell
me
where
I
can
find
this
within
cdc
guidelines
for
schools
quote,
we
will
have
students
go
to
an
assigned
spot
around
the
room.
A
timer
will
be
set
for
five
minutes.
V
Students
must
be
able
to
eat
their
snacks
in
small
bites
with
their
mask
up
covering
their
mouth
and
nose.
They
can
take
a
bite
by
lifting
their
mask,
putting
their
mouths
back
up
over
their
mouth
and
nose
while
chewing
does
this
sound
like
a
scientific,
well-thought-out
approach
to
any
of
you,
or
does
this
sound
more
like
torture
to
five-year-olds?
V
I
follow
the
money
to
figure
out
why
our
kids
are
still
massed
in
anne
arundel
county.
Under
the
cares
act
and
the
esser
plan,
maryland
schools
have
received
an
unprecedented
influx
of
cash,
three
billion
dollars
in
federal
dollars
and
billions
more
in
state
and
local
money.
Aacps
alone
is
receiving
168
million,
and
one
of
the
stipulations
is
universal
and
correct.
Wearing
of
masks.
V
Please
summarize
give
that
money
back
to
the
feds
release
our
children
from
this
obscenity
unmask
our
children,
keep
our
schools
open
and
hold
yourselves
accountable.
Don't
listen
to
dr
kellen
airman.
For
all
of
this.
This
is
insanity.
We
can't
keep
our
kids
out
of
school,
put
our
kids
back
in
school.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
T
Good
evening
my
name
is
russell
leone.
He
him
his
I'm
an
elementary
school
teacher
and
president
of
teachers,
association
of
anne
arundel
county.
The
last
time
I
spoke
regarding
the
adjustment
of
the
calendar
to
offer
time
to
educators
to
address
their
mental
well-being.
It's
unfortunate
misconstrued
that
I
was
speaking
against
the
idea.
I
stated
that
offering
time
in
the
form.
T
T
As
you
consider
the
calendar
understand
that
educators
as
educators.
We
do
not
want
to
put
our
well-being
against
the
important
work
that
is
being
addressed
in
equity.
This
is
a
journey
we
are
on
and
will
always
strive
to
do
and
be
better
for
our
students
providing
two
to
three
hours.
Two
days
is
just
a
band-aid
on
a
much
deeper
cut
in
the
well-being
of
aacps
staff
to
truly
attack
the
issue.
We
need
to
address
the
underlying
factors
causing
us
to
even
look
at
our
calendar.
T
Educators
are
stressed,
and
we
know
that,
but
a
couple
of
hours
will
not
replace
the
demands
and
concerns
that
will
continue
to
linger
the
day
after
these
early
release
days,
reports
still
need
to
be
written
papers
to
be
graded
and
classes
to
cover
playing
on
the
mental
health
of
a
staff.
During
these
times
are
factors
like
no
longer
having
coveted
leave,
as
some
of
our
neighboring
counties
still
do
when
they
must
quarantine
for
themselves
or
their
children,
which
burns
through
their
own
sick
leave.
T

E

Good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
welcome
to
the
virtual

of
our
public
testimony.
Speakers

The
board
asks
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
that
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
meeting
student
specific
and
personal
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
form.
It
is
not
the
board's
general
practice
to
engage
in
question
answer
session
with
speakers
with
a
record.
Please
give
your
name
before
speaking.
Handouts
should
be
given
to

Well
we're
not
doing
that
since
we'll
work.
So,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
item
3.06
the
superintendent's
report,
our
first
speaker
is
kim
products.
X
Hi
good
evening,
my
name
is
kim
prada,
I'm
here
tonight,
because
I
feel
it's
important
to
remind
you
that
we
are
your
constituents
and
we
voted
you
into
this
position
in
the
hopes
that
you
would
make
educated
and
informed
decisions
regarding
our
children
in
school.
It
appears,
however,
that
when
it
comes
to
covid
restrictions
in
school
closings,
you
are
solely
dependent
upon
what
dr
k
tells
you
to
do
following
dr
k's
guidance
for
nearly
two
years
has
contributed
to
the
decline
in
our
children's
mental
health
and
school
performance.
X
Dr
k
is
consistently
focused
on
being
reactive
versus
proactive,
and
his
judgment
and
motivation
should
be
questioned.
He
has
led
aacps
down
a
path
that
follows
a
political
agenda,
pushing
vaccine
and
mass
mandates,
while
turning
a
blind
eye
to
the
negative
effects
that
his
decisions
are
having
on
our
children.
An
example
would
be
his
recent
flip
on
the
length
of
quarantine
for
coveted
positive
students
from
five
days
back
to
10
days,
but
staff
are
still
allowed
to
return
after
five
days
with
a
negative
test
which
follows
both
cdc
and
nbo
mdoh
recommendation.
X
Once
again,
why
are
students
the
ones
paying
the
price
and
missing
valuable
in-person
instructions
based
on
dr
k's
advisement?
Another
example
would
be
his
recent
closure
of
seven
seven
of
our
schools
at
the
state
and
federal
level.
It
is
agreed
upon
that
school
should
stay
open,
no
matter
what
dr
k
is
flexing
his
self-assumed
authority
to
shut
down
an
entire
school
for
a
five
percent
positive
case
rate
that
is
flat
out
child
abuse.
What
other
settings
are
we
shutting
down
for
a
five
percent
case
rate
we're?
X
C

Frankly,
lacks
the
ability
to
back
up
any
of
his
own
decisions
with
actual
data
and,
in
many
instances,
chooses
to
make
up
a
position
rather
than
follow
cdc
guidance.
Instead,
we
ask
you
to
do
what
is
right
for
our
students.
Please
keep
our
kids
in
the
classroom,
keep
our
schools
open
and
allow
our
children.
Y
Hi,
I'm
christy
basista
received
an
email
from
a
rental
middle
school
principal,
indicating
that
there
had
been
a
sharp
rise
in
behaviors
where
children
are
seeking
to
avoid
escape
from
work
of
learning.
They
are
seeing
situations
where
the
children
have
lost
patience
and
one
another
and
lack
the
stamina
to
engage
in
reading
writing
activities
for
any
length
of
time.
Y
We
all
know
that
all
of
these
policies
and
mandates
are
directly
contributing
to
the
mental
health
of
our
students.
You
took
away
their
social
identity.
You
took
away
all
of
their
dances,
you
enforced
the
vax
or
testing
on
student
athletes.
Our
children
can't
breathe
they're
dying
inside
they're,
constantly
bombarded
with
fear-mongering
and
are
experiencing
long-term
negative
effects
of
negative
reinforcement
through
every
overly
strict
and
heavy-handed
mandate.
Y
Your
policies
and
mandates
are
what
is
directly
contributing
to
the
health
and
mental
welfare
of
our
children.
Primary
effects
of
increased
stress
are
conduct
problems,
cognitive
in
attention,
sleep,
deprivation
and
hyper
vigilance
according
to
psychiatric
times,
social
isolation
and
loneliness
increase.
The
risk
of
depression,
up
to
nine
years
later,
research
demonstrated
that
covet
19
is
affecting
the
mental
health
of
children
and
adolescents,
and
that
depression
and
anxiety
are
prevalent.
Y
E
Z
Okay,
thank
you,
hi,
I'm
melissa,
einelman.
I
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
publicly
thank
you
for
your
motion
passed
in
the
december
boe
meeting
on
ending
contact
tracing
as
well
the
lengths
of
quarantine
on
our
children.
Although
the
shortened
quarantine
was
short-lived,
we
do
appreciate,
and
I'm
sure
our
staff
does
as
well
the
contact
tracing
ending.
Z
I
wanted
to
use
this
two
minutes
to
express
this
notion
that
we
parents
may
not
always
agree
with
the
things
this
boe
passes
and
we
will
give
you
our
strong
opinions
as
well
as
suggestions
on
things
we'd
like
to
see.
We
are
hoping
to
show
that,
although
we
disagree
at
times,
we
can
respect
differences
of
opinions
as
we
work
together
and
getting
back
to
normal
for
our
children.
Z
We
wish
to
continue
working
with
you
and
hope.
The
same
respect
is
shown
to
us.
One
concerned:
parents,
we
one
concern
of
parents.
We
like
this
boe
to
recognize
is
how
you
seem
to
be
blindly
following
all
guidance
of
dr
k,
with
the
maryland
department
of
health
time
and
time
again.
He
had
no
straight
answers
to
your
questions.
Time
and
time
again,
he
couldn't
provide
you
data,
you
request
it,
yet
you
don't
seem
to
ever
take
a
stance
against
his
guidance.
Z
Guidance
is
all
it
is
by
the
way
it
is
not
the
law
as
a
as
pointed
out
many
many
times
by
many
of
us.
This
will
come
with
the
consequences
of
children,
mental
health,
as
well
as
student
learning
loss,
a
mess.
All
I'm
sorry
a
mess.
You
all
bear
the
burden
on
your
shoulders,
a
mess
you
all
must
clean
up
on
behalf
of
his
guidance
for
our
children
and
staff.
Z
I
want
to
end
with
two
simple
questions:
why
do
you
allow
yourselves
this
burden
from
an
appointed
health
official
who
wasn't
aspiring
to
be
a
politician?
Do
you
consider
the
history
of
people
to
understand
the
intentions
of
their
guidance
before
you
blindly
follow
them
which
results
in
this
boe
carrying
the
burden
of
these
problems
created?
Thank
you.
E
AA
AA
However,
please
keep
in
mind
that
the
cdc
continues
to
recommend
contact,
tracing
and
quarantining,
which
we
are
no
longer
doing,
because
of
this.
Our
students
are
at
greater
risk
with
return
after
five
days
than
schools
that
are
following
all
cdc
guidance,
not
just
the
guidelines
that
are
convenient.
AA
AA
Additionally,
I
continue
to
have
serious
concerns
about
the
transparency
of
information
being
provided
to
parents,
caregivers
and
staff,
about
the
prevalence
of
kovid
19
within
our
schools.
The
reality
is
that
there
are
families
within
our
school
system
with
high
risk
family
members
or
students
themselves,
who
are
high
risk
for
whom
sending
their
children
to
school
every
day
is
a
significant
risk.
Current
currently,
these
families
are
being
given
no
helpful
information
that
would
allow
them
to
better
gauge
whether
that
risk
is
increasing
or
decreasing
for
their
particular
child.
AA
AA
Additionally,
while
other
school
systems
are
transparent
about
how
many
schools
or
classes
are
learning
virtually
aacps
provides,
no
publicly
time
has
expired,
except
that
which
was
provided
by
dr
arlatto.
Please
provide
helpful
information
that
gives
family
actionable
data.
Please
look
to
other
school
systems
in
their
dashboard,
such
as
those
at
montgomery
county
public
schools,
for
a
better
sense
of
how
to
provide
informative
data.
Thank
you.
AB
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
good
evening,
I'm
peggy
williams.
I've
been
trying
to
figure
out
why
the
insistence
on
the
masks
when
the
science
has
proven
they
don't
do
anything.
Even
the
health
experts
previously
previously
pushing
the
masks
have
had
to
admit
that
their
facial
decorations
and
do
nothing
to
protect
against
cover
19..
So
why
are
students
still
masked
it
wasn't
until
recently
that
I
saw
the
real
reason
I
know
now
and
all
these
other
parents
need
to
know
too.
AB
AB
The
goal
posts
and
definitions
have
to
keep
shifting
and
our
local
health
officer
manipulates
the
data
and
provides
non-responses,
and
I
fully
expect
a
new
off-ramp
to
change
in
order
for
the
federal
money
to
trickle
down
to
the
leas
all
covered
19
protocols
have
to
be
followed,
including
specifically,
universal
and
correct,
wearing
of
mass.
This
is
right
in
the
federal
register
in
the
paperwork,
tracing
contact,
tracing
quarantine,
coveted
testing
and
forcing
vaccinations
on
athletes
in
some
cases,
in
coordination
with
state
and
local
health
officials.
AB
The
testing
is
an
invasion
of
their
privacy
you're,
forcing
eua
medical
devices
and
experimental
products
on
children,
so
the
government
creates
a
crisis,
then
creates
a
solution
whereby
billions
of
dollars
fall
into
all
the
right
pockets
from
the
federal
level,
all
the
way
down
to
the
local.
We
can
put
this
behind
us,
like
somebody,
somebody
said
earlier:
don't
you
see
that
let
the
federal
government
keep
their
money
and
we'll
be
done.
AB
I
have
three
kids
in
the
system:
they're
just
trying
to
get
through
life.
The
best
way
they
know
how
my
solution
to
them
would
be
to
to
the
mass
tyranny
would
be
to
pull
them
out.
Yet
they
choose
to
stay,
but
I
make
sure
they
understand
they're,
nothing,
but
a
dollar
sign
the
aacps
and
the
msde.
They
understand,
there's
no
logic
to
the
code
policies.
They
know
it's
not
about
public
health
and
certainly
not
their
mental
or
physical
health.
E
I
I
However,
we
feel
the
policy
falls
short
in
the
second
position
statement
by
not
considering
the
broader
county-wide
impact
of
choosing
a
facility
name
for
those
of
you
with
a
copy
of
the
policy
in
front
of
you.
This
was
the
case
with
george
fox
middle
school.
The
former
name
had
equity
implications
across
the
county,
not
just
in
the
northeast
cluster.
The
equity
issue
is
respecting
the
impact
of
a
name
on
an
under
record
on
underrepresented
groups
across
the
county,
as
we
have
seen
that
inca
impact
can
be
substantial.
I
I
want
to
call
us
all
back
to
the
testimony
from
the
committee
that
looked
into
whether
or
not
the
former
george
fox
middle
school
should
be
renamed,
this
powerful
emotional
testimony
from
people
who
had
been
in
aacps
decades
ago,
or
people
across
the
county.
That's
the
equity
issue
that
we're
seeking
to
address
with
this
testimony.
Thank
you
very
much.
Z
Thank
you.
Okay.
One
of
my
fellow
mom
friends
testified
back
in
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
on
how
she
found
some
interesting
regulations
being
added
to
the
anne
arundel
county
public
school
system
to
be
exact.
The
document
regulation
history
is
as
dated
developed
by
superintendent,
318
2020
review
by
the
board
of
education,
401
2020
and
issued
by
2020
5
20
20
with
no
previous
regulation
history.
This
was
five
days
into
two
weeks
to
slow
the
spread
and
while
schools
were
shutting
down,
essentially
many
parents
felt
these
regulations
were
implemented
without
parent
or
public
input.
Z
Z
There
was
then
a
workshop
done
with
the
boe
scheduled
to
address
this
subject
and
live
streamed
after
many
of
us
expressed
concerns.
We
wanted
to
be
part
of
this
workshop.
We
sincerely
thank
you
for
that
and
listening
to
us
in
review
of
legislation,
exhibits
bill.
Hb
047
public
schools,
expanded
american
history,
development
of
context,
standards,
implementation,
the
ble
supports
this
bill
with
amendment
amendments
you're
asking
for
more
time
to
implement
and
asking
the
committee
to
identify
potential
funding
sources.
Z
Yet,
if
you
review
these
other
exhibits,
there
are
three
other
proposed
bills.
You
opposed
because
you
want
to
keep
local
control
and
authority.
This
seems
very
hypocritical
to
us
because
this
bill,
I'm
citing
you
express
no
such
concern
and
are
pretty
much
giving
up
local
control
and
authority.
We
are
concerned
you're,
allowing
the
law
to
be
made,
opening
the
door
to
even
more
crt
and
identity
politics
forced
in
our
schools
by
the
state
and
once
again
without
parental
input.
Z
Z
E
W
Good
evening,
members
of
the
board,
my
name
is
katie
davis.
I
have
two
children
in
the
public
school
system.
I
will
speak
on
the
all
or
nothing
proposal
of
shifting
the
two
afternoon
equity
professional
development
sessions
to
afternoons
off
for
teacher
wellness.
Teachers
are
tired.
Why
are
teachers
tired
not
from
training
per
se?
They
are
tired
from
the
extra
daily
responsibilities.
W
W
Switching
two
afternoons
to
wellness
does
not
solve
this
problem.
Professional
development
benefits
the
students.
Equity
training
may
seem
repetitive
to
some,
but
it's
a
necessity.
Cultural
responsive
teaching
skills
are
best
acquired
through
in-person
training.
Teachers
in
the
board
should
work
with
equity
office
to
adjust
the
training
if
needed
and
desired,
don't
eliminate
the
training
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
Let's
get
to
the
root
of
one
of
the
problems
with
the
school
system
recruit
100
substitutes.
Somehow
I
don't
know
how
it's
a
hard
sell.
W
Students
can
sometimes
be
mean
and
manipulative
towards
substitutes,
recruit,
retired
military
retired
teachers
who
won't
stand
for
the
nonsense.
This
school
year
seems
more
difficult
than
last
year.
Teachers
need
a
break,
and
I
just
don't
see
how
five
or
six
hours
is
going
to
cut
it
do
something
meaningful.
Thank
you.
AC
AC
AC
Our
teachers
need
brave
spaces
with
each
other,
and
our
students
need
more
ways
to
build
trust
in
their
educators,
because
both
historical
wrongs
and
pandemic
chaos
have
fractured
that
trust.
Now
is
not
the
time
to
impede
the
ability
of
people
from
different
generations
and
cultures
to
be
in
sufficient
relationship
with
each
other
for
learning
to
take
place.
AC
If
you
remove
pd
equity
sessions
from
the
calendar
cancel
plans
to
carry
forward
important
work
that
today's
conditions
require
of
our
educators
and
you
place
in
the
record
permanently
signal
to
future
teachers
from
diverse
backgrounds
that
this
school
system
questions
their
time
has
expired.
Let's
not
do
that.
Let's
keep
the
dignity
and
work
of
all
our
teachers
and
students
centered
in
every
wellness
contribution.
We
offer
during
this
hard
time
and
always.
AA
AA
What's
worse,
miss
ellis
is
giving
legitimacy
to
this
request
by
stating
that
it
came
out
of
the
work
group
she
put
together,
but
literally
the
only
thing
the
public
has
heard
about
this
work
group
is
that
it
was
formed
and
that
one
of
their
suggestions
was
removing
the
equity
pd
for
the
remainder
of
the
year,
because
it
is
quote
repetitive,
but
I
have
many
questions
who
was
in
this
group.
How
are
they
chosen?
Were
all
clusters
represented?
What
other
suggestions
did
they
come
up
with?
Why
haven't
those
been
made
publicly
available?
AA
Why
is
one
board
member
allowed
to
choose
one
item
from
a
list
of
many?
Instead
of
all
options
being
considered?
I
hope
the
majority
of
our
board
sees
through
this
charade.
I
know
teacher
workload
needs
to
be
addressed.
I've
testified
it
about
it
here.
Our
teachers
are
struggling
in
so
many
ways
and
need
to
know
that
our
entire
school
system
and
community
support
them,
but
students
in
our
school
system
need
teachers
to
have
issues
of
equity
and
relationship
building
at
the
top
of
their
mind.
AA
There
are
students
suffering
because
not
all
of
our
teachers
have
the
same
skills
when
it
comes
to
culturally
responsive
teaching
and
other
equity
tools
and
strategies.
It
is
clear
we
need
to
address
teacher
workload
and
have
continued
equity
professional
development.
We
need
to
address
both
in
real
and
lasting
ways,
work
creatively
to
incentivize
recruit
and
retain
substitutes,
so
that
teachers
can
take
time
off
as
needed
without
burdening
their
colleagues,
if
other
teachers
have
to
cover
pay
them.
For
that
time,
lighten
the
load
of
teachers
by
taking
away
the
additional
expectations
required
by
brightspace.
AA
Your
time
has
expired
if
teachers
or
board
members
have
suggestions
for
improving
equity
pd,
then
by
all
means
share
that
feedback
and
work
to
improve
it,
improve
it.
If
it
is
if
in
this
moment,
the
equity
training
needs
to
be
revamped,
adjusted
or
maybe
shortened,
then
let's
do
that,
but
not
in
this
way.
The
equity
office
is
open
to
feedback
work
with
them
like
the
caring,
dedicated
professionals
they
are,
but
we
do
not
need
a
motion
from
this
board
to
facilitate
that
kind
of
change.
Thank
you.
AD
Good
evening,
latika
hicks
dear
board
members,
I
respectfully
reject
your
idea
to
eliminate
the
remaining
equity
professional
development
days
to
address
teacher
wellness.
Professional
development
and
teacher
wellness
are
instrumental
to
student
success
and
the
thought
of
creating
an
either
or
situation
for
what
students
and
teachers
need
is
sad.
We
should
not
eliminate
opportunities
for
educators
to
learn
about
themselves
and
others
to
possibly
improve
how
they
exercise
their
duties
and
obligations.
AD
This
includes
their
ability
to
teach,
nurture
and
care
for
a
diverse
population
of
students.
Teachers
have
a
tremendous
responsibility
and
can
significantly
influence
our
young
people.
It
is
essential
to
equip
them
with
the
necessary
tools
like
the
school,
the
skills
and
strategies
gained
through
equity,
professional
development.
AD
Finally,
the
equity
pd
is
required
under
comore
and
aacps's
educational
equity
policy
and
regulations,
and
it
is
necessary
to
address
aacps's
history
of
denying
and
limiting
educational
opportunities
for
african-american
students.
Suppose
some
teachers
have
communicated
their
dissatisfaction
with
the
equity
pds.
In
that
case,
it
could
be,
for
many
reasons,
all
worth
exploring
and
which
we
know
the
equity
office
will
be
responsive
to.
If
there
are
ways
to
improve
it,
the
equity
office
will
the
boe
should
not
make
a
motion
to
eliminate
equity
pd.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
I'm
married
to
danny
speaking
for
the
anne
arundel
county
mwac,
the
anne
arundel
county
naacp
stands
in
unwavering
support
of
both
our
teachers
and
ongoing
equity
professional
development.
We
refuse
to
see
this
as
an
either
or
choice
between
development
of
equity
capacity
and
teacher
welfare.
Instead,
we
see
equity,
professional
development
as
an
essential
part
of
teacher
and
student
mental
health.
Cannot
we
see
the
equity
sessions
as
opportunities
for
teachers
to
be
in
community
with
each
other,
about
the
impact
of
these
times
on
them
and
on
their
students.
I
I
The
equity
sessions
provide
a
broad
outline
of
materials
that
are
supposed
to
be
tailored
to
the
needs
and
experiences
of
the
individual
teachers
and
the
individual
school
responsibility
for
tailoring
these
tv
sessions
into
meaningful
professional
development
lies
at
the
school
level.
Success
and
engagement
depend
on
the
way
the
material
is
personalized
and
delivered
at
each
school
again
contact
the
equity
department.
I
They
are
there
to
help
the
actual
time
game
for
teachers
would
be
about
five
hours
through
the
remainder
of
the
year.
This
is
almost
insulting.
Let
us
believe
the
burden
on
the
teachers.
Let
us
relieve
the
burden
on
the
teachers
with
something
more
than
token
five
hours
that
have
been
cunningly
set
in
terms
as
being
of
being
competitive
with
equity,
professional
development.
I
AE
Hi,
I'm
nicole
disney-bates,
I'm
a
teacher
at
neve
middle
and
about
two
months
ago
I
stood
before
you
and
I
begged
for
your
help.
I
said
that
our
boat
is
sinking,
that
we
are
almost
sunk,
and
here
we
are
again
our
teachers,
our
staff,
our
schools.
The
only
reason
that
the
boat
has
not
sunk
yet
is
because
we
are
sitting
around
with
buckets
bailing
it
out
day
in
and
day
out.
AE
I
have
heard
the
other
speakers
and
I
acknowledge
that
the
equity
pd
should
not
be
an
either
or
but
rather
of
both
could
we
have
both,
which
would
be
that
at
least
at
my
school,
when
we
need
to
do
a
breakspace
pd.
We
do
it
during
a
collaborative
planning
during
an
instructional
data
team
meeting
during
a
faculty
meeting,
you
could
do
one
and
the
other.
Could
we
do
something
similar
where
maybe
we
consider
conference
time
being
a
time
where
teachers
could
have
wellness?
AE
As
we
move
up
into
the
middle
school
high
school
grades,
the
conferences
become
less
intended,
not
necessarily
not
attended.
We
do
have
some
attendance,
especially
with
the
virtual
option,
but
less
attended.
Is
there
a
way
that
we
could
use
that
time
to
give
back
to
our
teachers
and
our
staff,
but
really
time
is
just
time?
AE
AE
E
Thank
you,
our
next
speaker
speaking
on
item
6.04
emergency
plan
code.
Eh
is
peggy
williams,.
AB
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
thank
you,
peggy
williams,
I'm
concerned
about
the
emergency
plans
policy.
One
question
is:
will
it
be
clear
when
the
emergency
ends
there
needs
to
be
a
clear
end
when
I've
seen
the
policy
that
aacps
will
be
coordinating
pandemic
emergency
plans
with
local
state
and
federal
officials
and
having
seen
the
deflating,
confusing
and
manipulation
of
data
and
non-responses
by
our
county
health
officer,
there
will
be
no
end,
then,
let's
consider
the
practice
of
lockdowns
during
emergency
incidents
or
events.
AB
I
see
what
is
happening
in
other
parts
of
the
world
where
people,
including
children,
are
being
detained
and
forcibly
injected
by
the
government.
That's
australia
right
here
in
anne
arundel
county
students
are
being
coerced
into
taking
experimental
injections
to
play
sports
because
of
a
so-called
emergency.
AB
The
prospect
of
not
having
access
to
my
children
in
this
climate
or
worse,
the
possibility
of
them
being
detained
under
the
guise
of
some
pandemic.
Lockdown
is
deeply
concerning
to
me,
and
also
just
in
general.
Parental
access
to
the
school
is
very
tightly
controlled.
That
makes
me
uncomfortable
language
in
this
policy
must
be
very
specific.
AB
I
understand
the
need
to
keep
our
kids
safe
in
certain
very
limited
circumstances,
but
this
needs
to
be
detailed
language
in
the
policy
like
maintaining
plans
and
procedures,
helps
to
minimize
complications
that
https
may
encounter
what
kind
of
complications,
also
as
determined
by
applicable
government
authorities,
as
determined
by
applicable
government
authorities,
understand
that
in
2022
there
are
a
lot
of
us
out
here
who
don't
trust
the
government
anymore,
especially
when
it
comes
to
our
children.
Thank
you.
E
B
Public
comment:
we
are
going
to
move
on
to
the
section
on
award
of
contracts.
O
Can
I
move
that
we
bundle
those
buttons.
J
R
B
You
have
a
second.
X
B
B
I
believe
I
forwarded
something
to
you
about
this
earlier
and
my
question
is
not
specific
to
this
particular
contract,
these
particular
contractors,
but
in
light
of
what
has
happened
since
the
beginning
of
school,
with
the
bus
driver
shortage,
I
think
we're
all
aware
that
it's
been
a
difficult
time,
but
potentially,
depending
on
the
data
different
contractors
have
performed
at
different
levels
through
this,
and
so
I'm
curious
if
they're
as
part
of
the
process
as
various
bus
contractors
come
up
for
and
contracts
come
up
for
renewal.
B
If,
in
the
process
of
selecting
the
contractors,
there
is
going
to
be
any
way
of
incorporating
the
the
relative
level
of
operation
for
a
given
contractor
through
this
particular
time,
if
you
have
anything
to
tell
us
about
that,.
AF
Certainly
are
for
the
record
alec
check
new
chief
operating
officer,
so
a
common
misperception
really
in
the
public
arena
is
that
that
we,
we
are
generally
guided
by
something
called
the
low
bid
process,
but
but
that
is
far
overly
simplified
and
it's
simply
a
shortcut
to
what
really
happens.
AF
There's
really
two
other
operational
elements
that
need
to
be
determined,
and
that
is
that
to
begin
with,
the
the
party
that's
offering
their
services,
putting
in
a
bid
has
to
be
declared,
responsive
and
responsive
means
that
they've
met
the
technical
requirements
of
the
bid.
So
you
know,
if
you
have
to
have
five
years
of
experience,
we
mean
five,
we
don't
mean
three.
AF
The
next
thing
is,
you
have
to
be
what's
called
a
responsible
vendor
responsible,
not
just
responsive
but
also
responsible,
and
that
is
demonstrating
your
capacity
to
our
satisfaction.
If
you
can
carry
out
the
various
required
elements
of
the
work
again,
that
is
partially
predicated
upon
your
past
body
of
work,
because
we
do
reference
checks.
We've
got
certainly
experiences
with
people,
but
the
other
part
of
the
responsiveness
piece
of
it
is.
AF
We
have
the
opportunity
if
needed,
and-
and
I
can
tell
you-
we
deployed
it
while
we're
not
talking
about
5.06
today,
we
certainly
did
of
bringing
in
the
contractors
for
what's
called
a
pre-award
meeting,
and
that
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
meet
face-to-face
with
the
contractor.
Go
over
the
scope
of
the
award
the
project
understand
from
them
to
articulate
to
us.
You
know
what
is
their
plan.
AF
What
is
their
staffing
levels,
you
know
do,
do
they
really
internalize
and
foresee
all
the
various
you
know
required
elements
of
the
work,
so
we
basically
walk
through
the
specifications,
walk
through
determine
conditions
and
gauge,
as
as
not
just
a
past
experience,
but
also
in
real
time
gage.
What's
her
plan
for
tackling
the
job
going
ahead,
and
so
we
do
that
I'll.
Give
you
a
very
other
good
example.
You
know
when
miss
antwine
was
with
us.
AF
She
was
always
you
know
when
she
saw
a
low,
a
ultra
low
bid
right
that
scares
all
of
us.
So
you
know,
prices
are
kind
of
grouped
and
you
have
some
probability-
that's
a
little
bit
too
low,
so
we
always
call
them
in
and
and
do
the
same
thing
we
do
a
pre-award
and
we,
you
know,
let's
talk
our
way
through
this.
Let's
see,
what's
required,
you
have
the
staffing,
do
you
have
the
you
know
bonding
capacity?
Do
you
have
the
capital
line
of
credits
whatever
on
on
on
that
type
of
award?
AF
So
we
do
that
not
just
for
this.
We
do
that
procedurally,
anytime,
that
we
have
concern
about
the
capacity
of
a
firm
to
fully
execute
and
discharge
the
requirements.
So
it's
really
after
you're
determined
to
be
responsive
to
the
solicitation
after
you've
been
determined
responsible
and
that
can
include
that
pre-award.
AF
B
J
Yes,
I
just
wanted
just
to
take
a
minute
to
thank
you
for
the
ceilings
and
lights,
central
middle
school
item
a
couple
years
back
member
scholheim
and
member
granny,
and
myself
was
with
dr
alato
touring
the
school
and
you
know.
Sometimes
we
do
try
our
best
to
get
out
to
the
different
schools,
and
so
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
taking
some
suggestions
on
on
how
we
can
brighten
central
middle
school's
day,
so
to
speak,
because
it
was,
I
think
it
was
more
because
they
had
the
addition
and
the
brighter
light.
J
So
I
really
appreciate
you
guys
continuing
to
follow
through
with
giving
them
the
best
possible
learning
environment,
as
as
you
do
with
many
other
of
our
schools.
AF
Yeah,
I
mean
obviously
the
lighting
quality
is
a
big
driving
factor
in
either
aiding
students
to
learn,
or
at
least
not
distracting
from
their
abilities
so
and
then
full
disclosure
to
your
colleagues.
You
know
the
central
middle
school
project
was
in
the
comprehensive
maintenance
plan.
You
know
long
long
before
your
three
colleagues
walked
through
that
building.
So
it's
really
a
matter
of
timing
and
funding.
We'd
actually
hope.
As
you
recall,
you
have
actually
done
it
in
the
last
fiscal
year,
but
but
the
funding
didn't
allow
it.
AF
So
it
pushed
forward
to
this
year
and
I
believe,
arundel
middle
school,
I
think,
is
the
very
next
one
behind
central
middle
school.
If
memory
serves
me
correctly,
so
we
do
have
in
the
conference
maintenance
plan
that
the
sport
adopted
back
in
september,
you'll
see
sort
of
the
work
that
we've
got
projected
on
going
forward
basis.
We
share
that
with
schools
and
communities
and
again
you
know
yourselves
to
look
at
that
and
use
that
as
an
instrument
to
inform
folks
for
upcoming
projects
and
to
help
turn
them
out
to
advocate
for
funding.
AF
J
Thank
you
yeah.
This
is
a
lot
of
these
things
I
have
been
advocating
for
prior
to
sitting
in
the
seat,
because
it
is
the
environment
that
our
kids
are
in
are
so
very,
very
important,
and
things
such
as
lighting
in
a
hallway
can
make
the
difference
of
someone
not
replying
high
back
in
the
hallway,
can
turn
it
into
you
know
very
negative
where
otherwise,
under
the
light
of
light
of
fighter
light
of
day,
I
was
just
didn't,
hear
him
or
something,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
that,
because
these
little
things
do
you're
absolutely
right.
J
They
make
a
huge
impact
and
I
cringe
every
time
our
maintenance
budget
gets
gets
shrugged
down,
because
I
know
10
years
from
now
that
little
bit
of
maintenance
will
also
go
a
long
way
to
ensure
I
can
squeeze
out
a
few
more
years
out
of
that
building
and
and
it
to
be
actually
useful
as
an
education
facility.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
all
the
hard
work
you
guys
are
doing
thanks.
AG
Mr
silkworth
bye
miss
frank,
miss
ellis
aye,
ms
corker
hi,
stephen
hi.
B
L
AH
AG
R
This
is
second
reading,
yes
and
I'll
leave
it
to
miss
ortiz
to
answer
any
questions
of
the
board.
Thank
you.
AH
Sure
for
the
record,
jeanette
ortiz
legislative
and
policy
council
before
you,
it's
policy,
eg
naming
facilities
and
with
me
is
mr
novich,
our
ceo.
So
this
policy
is
on
second
reading.
It
was
on
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
I
did
not
receive
any
public
comments.
We
obviously
did
have
some
testimony
this
evening
earlier,
but
we
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
miss
schoelheim.
O
O
AH
The
issue
statement.
O
AH
So
I
think
that
it's
implied
in
that
to
your
point.
We
have
an
equity
policy
and
regulation
that
you
know
in
accordance
with
state
regulations,
as
was
previously
stated
in
some
of
the
testimony
that
requires
us
to
you
know,
look
at
things
within
equity
lens
and
implement
our
policies
and
regulations
and
processes
and
procedures
in
an
equitable
fashion.
So
I,
if
there
is
consensus
on
the
board,
to
add
that
language
you
can
do
so.
If
you
want
to
vote
on
it,
you
can
also
do
that.
AF
Might
also
have
michelle
that
I
mean
these
are
written
in
the
hierarchical
fashion.
So
if
you
go
right
to
the
the
purpose,
which
really
takes
a
higher
position
to
the
issue,
the
word
equitable
is
the
fourth
one.
Yes,
yes,
so
then
that
then
governs
all
of
the
that's
true
they
go
afterwards
that
washes
through.
In
addition
to
the
point,
this
working
should
break
forward.
Thank.
AH
Yes,
it
was
discussed
and
that
language
was
specifically
added
to
the
purpose
statement
which,
as
mr
shaknovich
stated
sort
of
is
the
you
know,
kind
of
guides,
the
rest
of
the
policy.
AH
A
reference
in
the
testimony
about
considering
a
system-wide
impact
when
naming
schools
I
didn't,
I
did
not
hear
specific
language
got.
It.
O
Yeah,
I
guess
I
needed-
I
mean
to
avoid
last
minute
or
some
price
motions
and
to
get
my
head
wrapped
around
what
that,
what
did
what
that
would
mean
or
what
that
would
require?
I'm
gonna
think
about
that.
But
I
do
you
have
thoughts
on
that.
Just
I
mean
I
know
you
heard
it
for
the
first
time
too,
just
a
few
minutes
ago.
L
AF
AF
It
would
really
be
hard
pressed
for
me
to
believe
this
school
district,
knowing
this
school
district
and
the
wonderful
people
that
undertake
these
projects
under
leadership,
the
superintendent
would
not
be
looking
at
impacts,
not
just
in
a
micro
environment
but
in
a
macro
environment
county
wide,
and
I
think
the
research
that
goes
into
naming
really
takes
a
look
at
the
you
know
the
body
of
work
of
an
individual
three
years.
You
know
post
or
whatever,
so
it's
a
pretty
comprehensive
process
having
been
involved
in
the
in
the
northeast
project.
So
I
think
it
happens.
AF
K
P
O
Good
I
just
wanted
to.
I
just
wanted
to
address
that,
because
we
just
heard
it
and
that's
why
we
have
public
testimony
before
we
consider
items,
so
we
can
reflect
on
that
a
little
bit.
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mrs.
B

Some
of
the
comments
that
we
heard
were
about
the
equitable
evaluation,
but
prior
to
that
in
public
testimony.
One
of
the
reasons
behind
that
request
was
because
there
should
be
more
county
input
into
the
local
naming
of
schools
and
at
the
meeting
where
we
named
northeast
high
school.
That
was
a
big
concern
and
I
I
stood
then
and
said
that
I
think
that
the
community
should
be
naming
schools
and
I
stand
by
that
position
in
any
future
school
that
we
name.
F
I
would
not
support
anything
that
pushes
us
to
having
outside
communities
trying
to
name
what
is
what
is
something
that
should
be
within
that
community.
I
I
do
support
the
community's
input
and
I
don't
think
it
would
be
right
to
get
into
a
situation
again
and
this
down.
You
missed
a
doozy
where
we
went
into
that
problem.
It
was
a
problem
where
we
had
the
the
wants
of
the
community
were
very
clearly
identified,
and
then
we
had
other
folks
saying.
F
B
H
L
H
I
just
wanted
to.
I
think
that
the
public
testimony
tonight
did
bring
one
thing
to
my
attention
and
it's
just
a
clarify
clarification
for
me.
One
of
the
comments
was
that
in
the
position
sub
policy
that
we
consider
may
and
her
word
towards
a
in
a
position
statement,
maybe
we
should
consider
an
award
made
equity
lengths.
The
equity
lengths
that
we
are
looking
through
is
all
defined
through
the
main
equity
positions
that
they
put
out.
AH
AH
So
we
wouldn't
want
someone
to
see
it
like
in
this
policy
per
se
and
not
see
it
somewhere
else
and
have
this
idea
that
we're
not
you
know
uniformly
applying
the
educational,
equity
policy
and
regulation
and
I
believe
it's
policy
af
and
it
was
put
under
that
first
section
a
as
you
know,
a
prominent
overarching
policy
that
guides
the
school
system,
the
school
board
and
the
work
that
we
do.
So
I'm
sorry
that
was
a
little
long-winded.
I
don't
think
it's
necessary
to.
AF
Include
in
the
public
and
I've
got
a
little
bit
different
of
a
concern,
but
I
have
a
concern
as
well
and
it's
in
general
and
anytime
that
you're
essentially
adopting
by
reference
a
body
of
work
that
is
entirely
under
the
purview
of
somebody
else
now.
Certainly
if
it's
a
law
right
we're
obligated
under
under
preemption,
we
can't
you
know,
negate
our
responsibility
under
law,
but
in
a
hypothetical
example,
wait
in
maid's,
wonderful
right.
AF
We
know
that,
but
but
what
if
they
adopted
a
position
policy
or
or
doctor
that
document
or
alter
that
document
in
a
manner
that
you
didn't
agree
with
right.
A
third-party
entity
has
just
made
a
change
that
you
don't
agree
with,
but
yet
because
it's
in
here
now
we're
a
little
bit
stuck
with
it
and
then
later
we'd
have
to
move
it
or
amend
it
or
alter
something.
And
that
also
means
the
staff
would
always
have
to
keep
an
eye
out
on
this
third
party
and
again
made
simple
right,
because
it's
near
and
dear.
AF
We
know
that.
But
the
more
you
go
into
sort
of
you
know,
yielding
your
authority
to
another
group
that
you
don't
have
control
over.
It
gets
a
little.
It
starts,
gets
a
little
tricky
and
uncomfortable
for
for
staff
that
you
know
she's
giving
you
more
legal
advice,
I'm
giving
you
operational
advice,
no.
H
Thank
you
for
that.
I
just
thank
you
for
the
point
of
clarification,
for
both
of
you
all
thank
thank.
B
You
I
see
no
other
lights,
so
I'm
sorry
did
we
have
a
motion
on
this
one.
L
AG
B
AH
Yes,
so
before
you
is
policy
eh
emergency
plans,
this
is
also
before
you
on
a
second
reading.
This
policy
also
had
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
I
did
not
receive
any
public
comment,
mr
shaknovich,
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
J
Thank
you,
president
tobin.
At
the
appropriate
time,
I
would
like
to
make
a
motion,
but
I
do
not
want
to
negate
that
motion
to
negate
opportunities
for
questions
to
miss
ortiz
or
mr
chiknovich.
B
Thank
you,
ms
frank.
F
Yes,
I
just
have
one
question
about
this:
one
we
say:
localized,
regional
or
national,
emergency
or
pandemic
is
determined
by
the
applicable
government
authorities.
Is
there
a
particular
reason
we
didn't
say
epidemic
as
well.
AH
So
yes,
so
before
so
adding
the
word
pandemic
was
a
specific
request
from
miss
antwine
to
the
policy.
AH
However,
I
would
say
that
under
an
emergency
right,
all
of
those
things
would
be
covered,
but
given
the
fact
that
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
miss
antwine
felt
strongly
that
that
should
be
highlighted
in
this
policy,
but
an
epidemic
or
other
sort
of
emergency.
B
Okay,
so
seeing
no
other
lights,
miss
corcodel.
Thank.
J
You
well,
I,
I
think
miss
frank's
question
kind
of
speaks
to
where
I'm
going
with
this.
J
So
I
do
have
the
opportunity
to
engage
with
our
county
office
of
emergency
management
very
regularly
and,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
we
do
have
an
emergency
management
committee
designed
to
develop
a
brand
new
sort
of
set
of
sort
of
a
bundle
pack
of
some
procedurals,
as
well
as
a
stand-alone
policy.
J
This
policy
before
a
senate
second
reader
is
straf,
was
designed
for
operations,
and
I
think
many
schools
have
felt
that
that
has
always
been
adequate
and
clearly
the
circumstances
have
forced
a
lot
of
us
to
reevaluate
and
in
the
course
of
that,
we
do
exchange
different
information
on
what
we
are
up
to
and
the
generosity
and
team
spirit
of
our
office
of
emergency
management
was
to
extend
to
the
opportunity
to
give
us
some
feedback
and
some
suggestions,
and
you
know
they're
working.
They.
J
They
have
a
very
good
team
with
mima
and
fema
and
they
have
been
getting
feedback
from
our
other
neighbors
and
partners.
J
And
given
that
we
are
in
our
current
policy,
because
the
draft
is
not
proposing
any
real
systemic
changes,
so
in
this
particular
instance,
I
thought
there
would
be
value
for
us
to
basically
pause
for
a
minute
and
allow
them
to
take
a
look
at
it
and
then
send
the
recommendations
back
over
to
the
committee
to
take
a
look
at
and
if
anything
substance
were
to
emerge,
then
we
can
address
it.
J
There
are
some
policy
on
policies,
issues
and
parliamentary
that
lead
me
to
making
a
motion,
and
so
president
tobin
and
I
have
shared
the
final
final
version-
there
was
a
little
technical
tweaking
for
legal
purposes
for
it.
So
let
me
pull
that
up.
J
Okay,
I
move
in
accordance
with
policy,
be
oh,
oh
before
I
start.
I
just
want
to
thank
dr
tobin
and
dr
alato.
I
miss
ortiz
and
miss
dent
for
working
with
me
to
figure
out
if
this
was
a
good
idea
and
then
being
supportive
of
it.
I
almost
forgot
that
gratitude
is
more
important.
J
I
move
in
accordance
with
policy
bf,
subsection
c
subsection,
section
c
subsection,
3
f,
that
the
board
waive
its
usual
timelines
for
discussing
and
acting
on
proposed
policies
and,
at
this
time,
stay
its
consideration
of
proposed
policy
eh.
So
that
may
be
referred
back
to
the
board's
policy
committee
for
them
to
review
input
from
the
anne
arundel
county
office
of
emergency
management,
mima
and
or
fema
as
appropriate,
and
then
bring
the
policy,
including
any
resulting
revision
recommendations
back
to
the
board
for
second
reading
at
a
regularly
scheduled
board
meeting.
O
I
don't
necessarily
have
a
problem
with
this,
but
I
just
have
a
question
for
miss
ortiz:
do
we
ever
float
our
policies
to
outside
entities
and
how
do
how
and
when
does
that
happen
or,
and
are
we
opening
doors
to
any
sort
of
slippery
slopes,
since
we
like
local
control
of
what
we
do,
I'm
just
curious.
I
don't
necessarily
have
an
issue
with
this.
It's
just
it's
just
an
honest.
AF
AF
I'll
give
you
some
some
case
in
point,
so
a
lot
of
as
we
all
know,
a
lot
of
our
policy
and
regs
are
driven
by
either
regulatory
changes
or
administrative
procedure
changes,
for
example,
with
the
state,
and
so
if
and
I'll
give
you,
you
know
tangible
examples,
we're
actually
working
on
one
right
now.
You
know
when
the
state
adopts
a
new
law
that
drives
a
new
reg
and
it's
it's
overseen
by
an
agency
that
compels
us
to
change
one
of
our
policy
or
regs.
Quite
frequently,
you
know
we'll
draft
up
the
document
we
are.
AF
We
know
what
the
state
law
says.
We
know
what
the
administrative
procedure
guide
of
the
state
agency
says.
We
know
with
the
guidance
document
of
the
department,
but
we
very
frequently
will
give
them
the
copy
of
it
and
say:
hey
well,
let's
pass
muster,
because
certainly
we
don't
want
to
advise
you
that
this
is
a
solid
document.
AF
You
know
the
board
then
adopts
it,
we
send
it
to
the
state
and
they
take
tissue
with,
and
now
we
have
to
tweak
it
again.
So,
yes,
we
quite
often
run
things
by
other
governmental
entities.
You
know
other
subject
matter
experts
to
make
sure
that
the
finished
product
is
is
meeting
their
needs
again.
Most
of
that
is
legal,
driven,
yeah.
L
AI
A
O
So,
and
that
that's
really
good
to
to
hear,
is
that
the
case
with
this
one
is
this
driven
by
any.
This
is
something
that
miss
antoine
was
passionate
about,
but
it
was.
That
was
that.
That
is
that
the
only
reason
that
we're
looking
at
this
in
this
way
or
are
we
are,
we
did
state
law
change
that
we
have
to.
AF
Yeah,
this
is
really
a
differential
policy
that
you
know
what
it
basically
said
was
that
that
we
unilaterally
are
not
going
to
take
these
we're
going
to
take
these
not
only
in
concert,
but
you
know,
in
cooperation
with
the
determiners
of
the
emergency
via
the
local
state
or
federal.
So
I
think
the
language
we've
added
here,
although
not
initiated
by
a
local
state
or
federal
agency,
would
certainly
make
every
local
federal
or
state
government
more
pleased
with
the
policy
of
this
board,
because
it
really
publicly
states
that
we're
going
to
align
our
actions.
AF
You
know
we're
going
to
be
supportive
of
their
requirements
in
the
time
of
a
declared
emergency.
O
In
the
policy
right,
so
there's
no
downside
to
this
okay.
Well
I
mean
I
I
was.
I
was
supportive
anyway,
but
but
this
solidifies
my
support.
Thank
you.
L
AF
L
AF
And
graphs
and
flowcharts
well
we'll
put
that
in
the
sop
manual,
but
that's
not
the
way
the
board
has
its
work
structured.
So
I
I
will
say
that,
with
the
caveat,
be
careful
what
you
asked
for
it's
all
very
good
natured,
but
we
then
take
their
input
and
then
we'll
locate
it
in
the
right
place.
It
you
just
may
not
see
it
in
this.
F
I
I
will
definitely
support
this
motion.
Thank
you
for
bringing
it
miss
corcodale.
The
question
that
I
presented
earlier
was
pandemic
versus
epidemic.
If
we
think
back
to
h1n1,
it
was
handled
so
vastly
differently.
L
F
B
F
For
that
reason,
I'm
I'm
pretty
comfortable.
Thank
you.
B
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion,
we
have
a
second,
I
don't
see
any
more
lights.
Miss
crocodile.
Would
you
like
to
say
more.
J
J
Some
of
these
agencies
can't
have
just
different
definitions
in
it
and
you
you
always
hesitate
before,
even
considering
taking
them
up,
but
in
this
particular
case
I
I'm
kind
of
laughing
to
myself,
because
the
very
first
question
that
was
asked
was
we
want
to
support
and
help
and
and
and
just
share
with
you,
what
we're
seeing
coming
up
in
in
more
recent.
But
we
need
to
kind
of
understand
what
you
mean
by
a
policy
and
what
you
mean
by
your
emergency
by
your
kids.
J
You
know
in
emergency
management,
you
got
emp
and
coop
and
you've
got
the
higher
level,
and
so
for
us
it
is
a
little
different
and
I
said
well,
you
know
we.
This
is
not
the
regulation.
The
regulation
is
embedded
in
the
emp's
based
on
business
unit
and
it's
pretty
complex
for
a
school,
but
a
policy
is
the
what
and
the
why.
J
So
I'm
pretty
comfortable
that
we
have
a
commitment
of
a
good,
honest
work
through
with
it,
and
I
that
is
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
included
in
my
motion
to
recommit
back
to
the
committee
so
that
we
can
then
take
it
and
get
feedback
from
ms
ortiz
and
alex,
and
so
many
others
to
kind
of
say.
Okay,
does
this
make
sense
for
us,
because
you
know
sometimes
agencies
operate
under
different
optics
than
what
we
must
do.
J
So
I
did
try
my
best
to
put
in
some
fail-safes
to
ensure
that
the
board
maintains
what
its
intent
is
to
do.
So.
Thank
you
all
for
your
consideration
and
thank
you
once
again
folks
and
a
special
thanks
to,
of
course,
our
agency
partners
in
office
of
emergency
management
and
the
county
executive
for
his
leadership
in
those
agencies.
AG
Crocodile
moved
in
accordance
with
policy
bf
section
c3f
that
the
board
waived
its
usual
timelines
for
discussing
and
acting
on,
proposed
policies
and,
at
this
time,
stay
its
consideration
of
proposed
policy
eh
so
that
it
may
be
referred
back
to
the
police
board's
policy
committee
for
them
to
review
review
input
from
anne
arundel
county
office
of
emergency
management,
mima
and
or
fema
as
appropriate,
and
then
bring
the
policy,
including
any
resulting
revision.
Recommendations
back
to
the
board
for
second
reading
at
a
regularly
scheduled
board
meeting.
I
B
Thank
you.
So
now
we
move
on
to
item
6.05,
redistricting
and
attendance
areas.
AH
AH
We
did
receive
another
public
comment,
after
which
I
forwarded
today,
so
you
may
or
may
not
have
seen
it,
but
mr
sheknovich
and
I
are
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
F
Thank
you
again.
Sorry,
I'm
talking
tonight
this
ortiz,
I
have
not
a
couple
of
the
board.
Members
have
not
been
through
the
redistricting
process
yet
so
I
am
reading
through
it
everything
seems
yeah.
F
It
seems
fine.
The
way
that
it's
written,
I
don't
have
any
particular
concerns,
but
I
would
say
once
we
go
through
it.
I
might
just
want
to
reach
back
out
and
say
this
work.
This
didn't
or
maybe
have
some
some
follow-up
at
a
later
date,
but
I
know
it
might
be
a
while.
So
I.
F
That
we
have
a
need
for
the
policy,
but
I'm
having
having
said
that,
I
also
understand
that
once
I
actually
go
through
the
process,
I
may
have
a
different
opinion
on
how
the
policy
works
in
actuality.
So
that's
my
only
comment
there.
Thank
you.
AH
B
AH
Okay
for
the
record
again
jenna
ortiz
legislative
and
policy
counsel,
so
we
have
several
items
of
legislation
before
you
for
review.
Just
as
a
friendly
reminder,
the
maryland
general
assembly
convened
for
its
444th
legislative
session
last
wednesday
january
12th.
It's
only
my
17th.
I've
been
around
quite
that
long.
I
didn't
think
I'd
still
be
around
quite
this
long.
AH
So
before
you
is
the
legislative
exhibit
and
just
as
a
reminder,
the
bills
that
are
or
left
there
of
in.
L
AH
One
with
if
there
are
bills
that
would
need
your
vote
as
a
board
because
it
does
not
align
with
the
legislative
program
bills
in
section
two
are
just
fyi
no
position
bills.
They
may
be
something
you
know
things
such
as
like
commissions
and
work
groups
and
advisory
boards.
We
don't
typically
weigh
in
on
those.
AH
It
may
be
something
happening
at
another
school
system,
a
local
bill,
but
I'm
keeping
an
eye
on
it
because
it's
an
issue
of
interest
or
it
could
become
a
statewide
bill
and
then
section
three
which
is
going
to
be
predominantly
what
you
will
see.
This
session
falls
under
legislative
program.
I
you
know,
have
a
whole
process
of
reviewing
the
synopses
that
are
dropped
every
day
by
the
house
and
the
senate
of
bills,
collaborate
with
staff
to
review
and
provide
feedback.
AH
I
meet
with
the
superintendent
as
well
on
the
recommended
position,
so
there's
a
whole
lot
of
background
work
that
goes
into
you
know
producing
these
position.
Statements
oftentimes,
you
know,
I
say
lots
of
bills,
aren't
really
new
ideas,
they're
either
reintroductions
or
some
new
reiteration
of
something
from
the
past.
So
we
have
some
very
long
standing
positions
on
legislation,
so
with
that
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
AH
Makes
the
winter
go
by
fast
yeah.
AH
B
You
don't
remember,
january
february
or
march
for
years
right,
okay!
So,
ms
crocodile
your
light
is
on.
J
Yes,
miss
ortiz.
I
want
to
I'm
feeling
pretty
comfortable
on
the
stage
on
most
of
stuff,
but
as
it
relates
to
specific
bills,
targeting
us.
J
I
know
that
we
have
a
long-standing
history
of
not
taking
a
particular
position
to
allow
the
system
to
run
its
course
out
of
due
respect.
But
I
I
am
very
concerned
about
not
taking
a
position
on
something
that
could
hinder
our
ability
to
do
our
state
required
duties
and
is
in
direct
conflict.
So
I'm
referring
in
particular
to
house
bill
95
submitted
by
delhi
get
back
now,
and
I
guess
I
do
a
couple
questions
or
I
guess
just
am
I
reading
it
the
right
way
or
more
so
than
a
question.
J
So
I'm,
if
I
am
reading
this
accurately,
she
is
suggesting
that
we
so
that
we
basically
the
state,
would
be
forcing
a
redefinition
of
the
president's
duties
and
authority
by
moving
some
of
the
president's
current
parliamentarian
and
presiding
officership
to
a
parliamentarian
new
position
among
us,
and
there
is
no
differentiation
I
can
find-
or
am
I
missing,
of
who
who
gets
to
reign
supreme,
because
the
parliamentarian
is
normally
like
the
enlarged
in
very
very
large
bodies,
not
in
a
group
of
pain.
J
I've
never
seen
that
before
so
is
that
my
correct
read
that
it
would
basically
fundamentally
change
the
definitions
that
we
currently
are
operating
under,
as
it
relates
to
the
president's
duties.
So.
AH
As
far
as
the
president's
role
being
parliamentarian
roles-
that's
I
don't
know
you
know
this
would
create
a
separate
just
someone
on
the
board
would
be
elected
as
parliamentarian,
and
so
the
proposed
legislation
doesn't
get
into
details
about.
You
know
how
that
would
work.
However,
we
do
have
policy
on
the
role
of
the
president
and
vice
president.
AH
J
Okay,
and
then
second
to
that,
am
I
reading
this
correctly
that
now
in
the
middle
of
my
meeting,
this
new
parliamentarian
parliamentarian,
which
we're
not
really
sure
if
they
have
the
authority
to
overstep
the
president
in
their
presiding
role
or
not,
is
can
consult
with
the
anne
arundel
county
office
of
law.
I've
never
encountered
anything
where
we
would
even
take
advice
from
the
anne
arundel
county
of
law.
J
AH
So
I
don't
read
it
that
they
would
have
to
be
present
here.
I
believe
that
the
intent
in
my
conversation
with
the
delegate
in
reading
the
plain
language
of
the
bill
is
that
just
for
education,
our
parliamentary
procedures
right
and
to
make
sure
that
the
parliamentarian
is
sort
of
up-to-date
on
all
whatever
the
legal
requirements.
I
don't
know
you
know
I
have
my
own
opinions
on
why
that
may
be,
but
I
don't
know
for
sure
as
to
why
you
know
the
delegate
chose
the
county
of
law.
W
AH
J
So
basically,
if
I'm
hearing
this
correctly,
the
the
dele,
the
delegate,
does
not
feel
that
our
current
legal
staff
of
many
and
that
the
our
right
under
state
law
to
assign
our
legal
counsel
for
this
board
is
now
going.
Some
of
that
authority
is
going
to
be
taken
away,
because
now
I
have
a
new
lawyer
like
we
really
need
any
more
lawyers.
U
J
And
the
county,
really,
although
they
partner
with
us,
help
us
defend
us
and
even
do
our
risk.
You
know
management
stuff
does
not
have
authority
over
how
we
function
or
our
decisions,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
I'm
when
I
read
anne
arundel
county
office
of
law
that
we're
referring
to
the
actual
anne
arundel
county
office
of
law
under
the
direction
of
mr
swain,
whom
love
to
death,
he's
he's
a
great
person
and
a
great
civic
servant
for
so
many
years,
and
I
not
that
I
do
not
value
his
opinion.
J
Actually,
when
I
worked
with
the
county,
I
valued
his
opinion
here
daily
and
took
that
advice.
But
now
I
am
here
and
I
have
advice-
and
we
have
laws
with
that-
is
that
in
conflict
with
some
of
the
other
state
granted
authority
that
the
board
has
the
authority
to
actually
appoint
their
own
board
attorney
and
seek
it
as
its
legal
counsel.
AH
J
I
know
this
is
not
a
question
per
se,
but
I
will
just
say
that
in
our
states
of
emergency,
the
necessity
for
us
to
render
decisions,
sometimes
because
we
have
legal
obligations
with
deadlines,
capping
it
to
10
pm
and
limiting
us
to
six
hours.
Does
that
include
public
testimony
nights?
It
just
says
meetings
here.
J
It
does
not
map
back
out,
but
I'm
just
going
to
point
out
that
I'm
normally
it's
okay,
you
know
we
work
through
it
and
we
talk
through
it,
but
I
have
extreme
concerns
and,
madam
president,
and
when
the
time
is
right,
I
am
would
like
to
propose
a
motion
based
on
the
answers
that
I
got
from
ms
ortiz.
J
I've
got
a
problem
with
a
lot
of
the
rest
of
this
too,
but
really
that
a
couple
of
these
things
are
very,
very
limiting
to
our
ability
to
do
our
job
and
our
swine
oath.
And
lastly,
I'm
just
going
to
say
that
part
of
my
intent
of
motion
is
that
telling
me
that
I
cannot
make
a
good
decision
past
10
o'clock
at
night.
J
I
guess,
implies
that
elected
officials
cannot,
and
so,
while
the
county
council
is
up
till
midnight,
one
o'clock
over,
you
know
rentals,
for
example,
in
the
county
and
the
general
assembly
conducts
its
business
until
it's
done
at
midnight
at
one
o'clock
in
the
morning,
judiciary's
committee
is
hearing
testimony
and
doing
their
work
at
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
to
insinuate
that
any
one
of
me
or
my
colleagues
lack
the
ability
beyond
what
they
have.
I
I
it's
not
not
good
business
and
not
in
the
interest
of
working
with
us
and
I'll.
O
J
S
I
no
no!
No!
I
I
know
when
I
read
this
legislation,
I
had
all
of
the
same
concerns,
so
that
has
me
wondering
ms
ortiz,
and
this
is
in
no
way
being
critical.
Just
me
trying
to
understand.
S
Why
was
there?
No?
Why
was
this
not
recommended
as
a
board
vote?
I
mean
this
directly
impacts
this
board.
The
entire
bill
is
about
this
board.
AH
We've
not
weighed
in
except
for
I
believe
it
was
the
2017
bill
which
created
an
elected
school
board,
in
which
case
the
only
time
the
board
weighed
in
was
when
there
were
threats
of
limiting
the
power
of
the
the
ability
of
the
student
member
to
vote.
The
way
that
you
know
this,
our
member
student
member
of
the
board
has
total
voting
rights,
the
only
student
member
of
a
school
board
in
the
entire
country.
AH
To
do
so,
and
there
were
some
members
of
the
delegation
that
were
trying
to
restrict
the
voting
of
the
member,
and
so
that's
where
the
board
weighed
in
and
chose
to,
you
know
have
a
motion
to
to
do
so.
So,
historically,
the
board
has
not
weighed
in
on
bills,
impacting
the
very
nature
of
the
existence,
the
composition,
the
you
know,
of
the
board
anything
having
to
do
with
the
board.
So
you
know
in
our
discussions.
AH
That's
what
we
agreed
to
maintain
with
the
his
you
know
the
historical
positions
non-positions
of
this
board,
but,
of
course,
you
as
a
board,
have
the
ability
to
motion
and
take
a
position.
If
you
would
like
to.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
ms
schoenheim.
O
We've
also
said
on
these
seats,
some
of
us
for
three
years,
some
of
us
until
three
o'clock
in
the
morning
really
consequential
motions
have
failed
on
a
singular
vote
at
1
30
in
the
morning
when
we're
all
cross-eyed
and
tired
we've
used
being
exhausted
as
an
excuse
to
rush
through
things
or
not
rush
through
things
late
at
night,
and
we've
also
started
to
make
a
commitment
to
address
this
in
our
handbook,
which
is
which
I
do
still
really
really
support.
O
There
are
a
couple
really
huge
school
systems
in
this
country,
lausd
in
san
francisco,
usd
that
have
addressed
this
in
their
in
their
policy
and
in
their
handbook
and
san
francisco
usd
says
specifically,
and
I'm
quoting
here-
that
the
board
believes
that
late
night
meetings,
deter
public
participation
can
affect
the
board's
decision-making
ability
and
can
be
a
burden
to
staff
and
that
you
know
that
they
adjourn
their
regularly
scheduled
meetings
at
10
pm
unless
extended
by
general
consent
of
a
majority
of
the
board.
Whether
or
not
this
bill
lives
or
dies.
O
O
I
think
we're
more
we're
better
humans
if
we're
arrested,
we're
better
parents
if
we're
arrested,
we're
better
employees
if
we're
arrested,
we
serve
this
community
and
this
board
better
when
we
make
decisions
while
we're
still
fully
lucid,
and
so
whether
or
not
a
motion
about
this
particular
bill
is
successful
or
or
not.
I.
I
really
hope
that
that's
where
we
go
as
a
board.
I
really
hope
that
we're
committed
to
that
and
self-policing
that
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
O
We've
talked
all
about
that
recently,
so
part
hasn't
worked
out
so
far
for
for
us
all
that.
Well,
I
look
forward
to
someday
having
an
updated
handbook
with
language
in
it
that
might
address
this.
Looking
at
you
kid
and
and
and
you
know
that
we
can
better
police,
our
ourselves,
always
yeah.
So.
B
Thank
you,
miss
dent.
H
Mines
are
more
of
questions
than
they
are
statements,
so
with
the
this
is
my
first
go
around
with
this.
I
just
want
to
get
clarity,
so
when
you
say
you
take
no
position
if
the
board
does
have
input
to
any
of
this,
not
just
particularly
this
one.
I
have
no
input
on
this
one.
H
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understand
what
is
board
no
position
is
that
because
the
board
of
education
has
no
position
on
it,
or
is
that
just
because
you
haven't
gotten
any
feedback
from
the
board
of
education
to
take
a
position.
AH
So
it's
at
the
so
I
the
legislative
program
is
my
guiding
light.
You
know
during
session.
It
really
allows
me
to
best
advocate
on
behalf
of
the
school
system,
it's
very
comprehensive,
and
so
it
allows
me
to
be
able
to
take
positions.
You
know
historical
positions
and,
on
behalf
of
the
board,
based
on
that
program
right,
because
90
days
is
a
short
time.
Things
go
very
quickly.
I
can't
wait.
You
know
every
two
weeks.
AH
You
know
for
the
board
to
be
able
to
vote
on
every
single
bill,
so
there
are
bills
like
I
said
that
are
reintroduced
reintroduced
and
we
have
very
historical
positions.
So
I
will
submit
testimony
in
alignment
with
previous
last
five
six,
seven
ten
years
of
testimony
board
positions
without
needing
to
vote
from
the
board.
Those
are
your
section
threes
right,
but
if
there's
something
that
I
know
is
a
little
controversial
and
I
know
that
there
might
be
differences
of
opinion
on
the
board
like
I'll
hold,
that
back
before
submitting
anything.
AH
So
to
answer
your
question
about
the
no
positions
it's
just
sort
of
like
as
it
relates
to
our
legislative
program
and
the
positions
in
the
program
and
also
our
historical
positions
or
no
positions
on
similar
legislation
or
identical
legislation.
So
that's
the
recommended.
You
know
those
are
the
recommended
positions
of
the
board.
H
Okay
and
then
last
question,
so
when
you
get
this
prize,
so
I
got
this
document
right.
If
I
have
any
feedback,
how
do
I
present
this
feedback
to
you?
Is
this
something
that
I
can
just
send
directly
to
you
or
how's?
That
process
gathered.
AH
Yeah
I
mean
I
love
emails
like
email
me,
your
questions
in
advance,
if
you
can,
as
you
know
as
as
soon
as
you
can,
because
that
allows
me
to
be
to
provide
you
the
best
information
that
I
can.
If
I
have
information
in
advance
and
can
give
you
good
background
information
or
answer
your
questions
fully,
sometimes
I'll
get
emails
and
I'll
be
able
to
answer
them
and
the
board
member
is
satisfied
with
my
answers
and
it's
that
sometimes
you
know
the
questions
will
still
come
up
at
a
board
meeting.
AH
B
Dr
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
silkworth.
E
Thank
you,
president
tobin,
so
house
bill,
95,
delegate,
bagnol
did
in
fact
reach
out
to
me
and
I'm
not
sure
if
she
reached
out
to
any
others,
and
we
talked-
and
I
told
her
that
I
had
in
fact
seen
the
bill
and
kind
of
read
it
somewhat,
but
I
really
had
not
studied
the
bill
and
I
I
committed
to
her
that
I
would
do
that
and
I
have
I
oppose
the
bill.
E
I
understand
why
perhaps
the
bill
was
put
there,
but
in
response
to
miss
schauheim
I
have
I
will
commit,
and
I
think
most
of
us
will
commit
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
to
police
ourselves
and
to
make
sure
that
this
body
operates
the
way
it
should.
I
think
that's
our
responsibility
to
replace
ourselves.
I
think
we
have
started
to
do
that.
E
J
H
AH
Ms
ortiz,
you
want
to
so
this
document
right
you
want
to
this
document
is
aligned
with
the
positions,
historical
positions
of
the
bill
of
the
board
and
the
legislative
program.
So
if
you
want
to
pull
something
out
of
those
positions
and
that
would
take
action
of
the
board
and
state
law
indicates,
any
action
of
the
board
requires
five
votes.
S
Yeah,
so
I
do
sorry
I'm
shifting
gears,
so
I
do
have
something
just
quickly
since
now
it
is
emotional
on
the
table.
Look
I've
I've
conducted
meetings
with
this
board,
advocating
for
pleading
for
better
policing
of
ourselves,
and
I
am
in
favor
of
this
board.
S
You
know
making
decisions
that
will
enable
us
to
conduct
our
business
in
the
best
and
most
efficient
way
possible,
most
effective,
what's
best
for
the
students,
that's
what
we're
elected
to
do
right.
So
this
is
not
a
state
legislature
decision
it
shouldn't
it,
it
just
shouldn't
be,
and
so
it's
it's
not
about
being
opposed
to
better
being
more
efficient.
S
But
this
is
this
is
our
decision
and
this
cork
doll
did
bring
up
a
excellent
point
about
late.
Other
bodies
in
this
state,
including
the
general
assembly,
do
go
on
so
no.
I
I
greatly
oppose
this
bill,
so
I
will
be
supporting
the
motion.
J
J
The
fact
is,
the
general
assembly
handed
us
a
very
unusual,
never
seen
before
and
probably
will
never
be
seen
again,
at
least
in
the
state
of
maryland,
as
it
relates
to
a
transition
plan
and
that
transition
plan
did
create
some
of
the
circumstances
that
have
led
to
late
meetings,
and
I
understand
that
miss
bagnow
delegate,
bagnow
has
been
walked
away,
disappointed
in
late
night
meetings,
but
I
also
know
this
board
because
we
do
care
deeply
and
we
do
want
to
make
sure
we
get
down
to
the
bottom
of
things
have
taken,
perhaps
more
time
than
we
should,
and
every
single
one
of
us
has
committed
to
one
another,
as
well
as
to
our
delegation
on
numerous
occasions,
those
attempts
we
have
invested
time
money
and
have
demonstrated
improvement
over
those
course
of
those
years.
J
That
will
prevent
us,
in
theory,
under
circumstances
to
conduct
our
business,
and
you
know
capping
these
out
if
we
are
faced
with
a
budget
deadline.
There
is
no
out
for
me
on
that.
If
we
are,
if
we're
facing
march
1st
and
it's
approaching
midnight
and
we
have
to
transmit,
we
have
to
transmit
and
I'm
sorry
if
we
have
to
go
six
hours,
you
know
the
six
hours
seems
to
have
an
override,
but
the
10
pm
doesn't
and
last
time
I
checked.
J
10
p.m
is
the
curfew
I
give
a
child
so
but
mo,
but
one
of
the
biggest
ones
that
stands
out
is
injecting
the
county
government
into
a
state
agency's
authority
and
business
as
to
what
they
decide
as
it
relates
to
our
parliamentary
procedures.
It's
pretty
straightforward.
We
follow
the
same
robert's
roles
as
everybody
else,
and
our
president,
I
found
have
always
done
outstanding
jobs
to
make
these
tough
decisions.
J
They
have
to
decide
this
recognizing
that
members
are
going
to
be
mad
at
them,
hate
them
and
try
to
get
even
with
them,
and
we
still
must
manage
through
that,
because
we
know
that
everybody's
coming
from
a
place
of
just
caring
about
what
they're
trying
to
do,
but
our
ability
to
self-govern,
I
believe
is,
is
pretty
consistent
and
I
just
think
that
this
is
taking
it
a
step
too
far
and
it
is
not
clearly
defined
how
the
duties
would
be
shifted
and
it
really
does
take
away
from
our
governing
authority
and
power
to
make
the
decisions
that
we
need
to.
J
So
I
thank
all
of
you
for
considering
this
motion.
It
was
on
the
fly.
I
honestly
thought
it
was
a
typo
when
I
saw
anne
arundel
county
office
of
law
and
and
had
planned
on
that.
For
that
particular
reason
alone.
I
just
don't
think
it's
in
alignment
with
the
intent
and
spirit
of
how
an
lea
is
supposed
to
operate.
So
thank
you
for
your
consideration
and
firing.
None
okay.
B
F
B
Turn
your
mic,
let.
F
F
The
two
that
I
had
concerns
about
I
had
there
were
two
different
bills
that
you
said
that
we
would
support
with
amendments,
and
I
wanted
to
discuss
those
the
first
one
is
house
bill,
23,
the
school
discipline,
data
collection
and
school
resource
officers.
F
F
As
with
disproportionality,
it's
important
to
be
very
careful
with
small
student
groups.
According
to
this
bill,
an
elementary
bill
with
one
student
suspended
out
of
10
would
be
labeled
high
suspending
and,
as
we
have
incidents
of
a
higher
incidence
of
reporting
this
year
in
school.
I
would
absolutely
agree
with
that
assessment,
so
I
would
say
how
much
would
they
have
to
amend
this
particular
bill
to
get
it?
To
a
point
I
mean
how
many
amendments
would
you
think
would
get
it
to
a
point
where
we
would
need
it.
F
AH
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
for
that
question.
So
so
this
is
two
previous
bills
into
one
bill.
We
opposed
the
data
bill
in
the
last
previous
years
and
we've
always
supported
the
sro
bill.
So
what
the
sponsor
of
both
of
those
bills
decided
to
do
was
make
it
one
bill.
So
the
data
collection
piece
we
basically
oppose
and
have
lots
of
concerns,
and
if
it
was
a
stand-alone
bill,
as
it
has
been
every
session
since
I've
been
here-
and
this
is
my
sixth
session
at
aacps-
we
would
outright
oppose
it.
AH
But
the
provision
in
the
bill
about
sro
is
not
just
engaging
in
discipline
right
because
that's
not
the
role
of
an
sro
officer
and
has
had
the
support
of
law
enforcement
as
well
all
the
years
that
it's
been
in
in
introduced
in
general
assembly.
We
have
always
supported
that.
In
fact,
we've
brought
maybe
long
to
support
that
and
some
other
school
systems.
We
have
consistently
supported
that.
So
it's
a
support
with
amendments
because
we
really
do
support
that
provision.
AH
Obviously,
if
there
are
safety
issues
at
a
school,
something
like
that
right,
but
if
the
student
is
being
suspended
or
conversations
about
discipline
for
any
behaviors
right,
that's
not
the
role
of
an
sro
officer,
and
they
will
tell
you
that,
and
so
our
office
of
school
security
reviews
has
reviewed
this
legislation
over
the
years
and
mr
batten,
you
know
has
always
you
know
advised
for
the
board
to
support
this
legislation.
AH
F
And
so
the
sro
portion,
dr
and
you're
right,
an
srr
will
tell
you
that
and
dr
allen.
I
seem
to
recall
when
the
when
the
police
chief
and
some.
L
F
Sros
presented
to
us,
I
believe
that
was
one
of
the
comments
that
they
made
is
that
they
do
not
they're
they're
not
supposed
to
be
engaging
in
student
discipline,
and
they
were
very
clear
about
that
from.
L
F
Recall
it
was
a
while
ago
has
that
changed
I
mean
it
seems
like
in
our
county.
This
is
not
an
issue.
Is
that
correct.
R
Correct,
it's
not
I
so
no,
it
is
not
an
issue
at
times
it
can
become
a
gray
area
with
a
particular
administrator
or
a
particular
sro,
but
our
protocols
are
clear,
but
you're
talking
about
people
and
people
operating
within
schools,
so
with
a
given
administrator
sro.
Sometimes
it
can
become
cloudy.
F
F
So
I
have
one
more
bill
that
I
want
to
discuss
tonight.
Is
there
an
order
to
this
that
you
would
like.
B
I'd
rather,
I
would
rather
you
ask
all
your
questions
about
the
different
bills.
I
have
a
couple
more
lights
and
then.
F
Sure,
okay,
the
other
bill
that
I
had
questions
about
was
house
bill.
47
the
expanded
american
history
content
standards,
implementation.
F
So,
generally,
when
we
see
content
and
courses-
and
I
believe
some
of
the
other
courses
that
were
in
here-
we
all
or
all
of
those
were
in
opposition,
but
this
particular
bill-
you
said
support
with
amendments.
So
can
you
yeah
blame.
AH
That
one,
so
the
board
supported
a
bill
that
was
virtually
identical
to
this
one
last
year
with
amendments
you
know
the
the
subject
matter
was
a
little
bit
different
and
you
know
my
testimony
is
pretty
comprehensive
in
that
it's
you
know.
AH
Now:
it's
2022,
it's
probably
high
time
that
we
are
being
a
little
bit
more
inclusive
in
american
history
and
something
that
we
strive
to
do
as
a
county
and
the
bill
does
put
sort
of
the
responsibility
of
developing
these
standards,
which
is
in
our
legislative
program,
with
the
state
board
of
education,
right
that
the
state
board
of
education
develops
the
content
standards
and
that's
the
reason
for
the
support,
because
all
these
other
bills
don't
put
it
with
the
state
board,
they
dictate
what's
supposed
to
be
in
our
policies,
our
regulations
or
in
our
curriculum.
AH
This
board
does
exactly
what
we
say
in
our
legislative
program
that
these
curriculums
should
not
be
dictated
by
the
general
assembly.
The
state
board
should
make
that
determination
in
msde
and
so
bill.
This
bill
does
that
and
so,
but
we
obviously
have
concerns
with
timelines,
because
the
state
board
would
need
to
and
msc
would
need
to
review,
determine
the
content
standards
make
the
recommendations
or
the
requirements,
I
should
say,
really
develop.
Those
content,
standards
for
school
systems
and
school
systems
would
have
to
implement
them
and
so
acquiring
materials
of
instruction.
AH
That
sort
of
thing
you
know,
will
take
time
and
obviously
funding
to
be
able
to
further
update
our
materials
of
instruction.
So
it
looks
like
these
other
bills,
but
it's
very
different
in
that
it
puts
it
all
on
the
state
board
of
education
and
msd,
and
we
have
language
specifically
to
that
in
our
legislative
program.
AH
Yes,
and
no
so
we
could
but
having
the
resources
of
the
state
board
of
education
and
msce
a
lot
makes
it
a
lot
easier
for
us
and
other
school
systems
to
be
able
to
implement
such
an
inclusive
american,
his
in
expanded
american
history,
and
so,
like.
I
said
we
as
a
school
system
I
gave
some
examples
have
been.
You
know
striving
to
do
just
that,
but
obviously
msc
and
the
state
board
have
many
more
resources
and
individuals
that
would
be
able
to
come
up
with
the
various
content
standards.
AH
F
I
have
no
more
questions
from
now,
but
once
we
get
through
the
lights,
I
would
like
to
come
back.
B
S
O
Yeah,
I'm
not
going
to
be
supportive
of
this
because
I'm
supportive
of
our
our
long-standing
commitment
to
our
school
resource
officers
and
their
place
in
our
schools.
So
I
don't
want
to
send
the
wrong
message
by
opposing.
J
Thanks
this
is
a
hard
one,
because
I
got
to
say
it.
I
I
think
right
now,
where
this
bill
started
in
judicial
committee
right
yeah.
So
and
it's
now
gonna
be.
Is
it
miss
otterberry?
It's
been
it's
a
runways
and
means
now
right.
AH
Yeah,
so
this
isn't,
this
is
a
different.
This
is
delicate
washington,
alonzo
washingtonville
he's
the.
F
U
AH
Yeah
delegate,
washington
he's
the
vice
chair
of
the
ways
and
means
committee
and
husband
for
a
few
years
now,
and
so
this
is
his
bill
and
previously,
when
they
were
two
separate
bills,
they
were
both
his
his
bills.
J
Okay-
and
so
I
guess
you
know,
for
our
fresh
start
program
was
in
the
pipeline
well
before
these.
Some
of
these
conversations
have
happened
and
dates
back
quite
a
while,
I
know
roughly
took
them,
took
about
a
good
year
of
a
lot
of
hard
work
from
our
police
and
as
it
relates
to
where
we
are
in
our.
J
J
I'd
like
to
give
us
a
better
seat
at
the
table,
so
to
speak,
because
I
think
that
with
the
right
amendments,
it
can
be
more
in
line
with
what
we're
doing,
and
I
think,
if
we
oppose
this
right
off
the
bat
prior
to
seeing
what
some
of
the
amendments
that
are
in
discussion
right
now.
It's
my
understanding
as
it
relates
and
they're
having
a
few
more
discussions
on
that
for
amending
in
ways
that
I
think
will
benefit
us.
J
I
personally
oppose
that
the
state
telling
us
to
do
this
because
we
already
have
a
model
program
and
what
our
our
police
force
have
done
to
do
that.
Do
we
have
some
skips.
Absolutely
we're
talking
about
human
beings
here,
and
human
beings
are
going
to
make
mistakes
sometimes
more
than
once,
and
it's
how
we
respond
to
them
and
thus
far.
J
I
don't
think
it's
in
our
interest,
because
we're
already
doing
it,
of
course,
but
I
would
like
to
give
miss
ortiz
some
a
chance
to
kind
of
you
know,
still
have
seats
at
the
table
so
to
speak
and
when
we
do
oppose
we
kind
of
eliminate
some
of
that
voice.
So
I
would
I
would
be
for
this
a
couple
meetings
from
now
after
the
fouling
deadline.
J
I
guess-
and
I
want
to
support
it,
because
I
do
oppose
this
as
state
legislation
for
some
of
the
reasons
mrs
ortiz
brought
up
as
well
as
yourself.
I
would
like,
however,
for
us
to
see
what
else
comes
up
before
we
decide
on
this
particular
bill.
Thank.
B
B
P
H
So
I
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
areas
to
where,
while
we
may
be
doing
good
in
some
areas,
there
is
some
information
that
is
not
easily
as
easily
attainable,
as
others
may
think.
So
I
don't
think
that
this
is
something
that
I
can
comfortably
oppose
here
this
afternoon
and
I
just
would
not
be
comfortable
opposing
this
at
all
tonight.
Thank
you.
S
Sorry
and
I
I
know,
questions
were
asked,
but
I,
dr
elato,
can
you
just
help
me
understand.
AH
Previously,
law
enforcement
like
their
lobbyists,
the
chiefs
of
police,
sheriffs,
etc,
have
supported
this
legislation
in
previous
sessions,
and
so
I
think,
from
our
perspective,
it's
a
you
know
our
sros,
our
law
enforcement
are
looking
for
something
that
explicitly
in
law
can
allow
them
to
refer
to
as
far
as
the
sro
ps
to
in
the
instances,
I'm
not
saying
ours
in
particular,
but
this
is
a
statewide
bill
right,
and
so
this
is
an
issue
in
other
other
school
systems.
Unfortunately,.
Q
AH
Dr
alado
mentioned
there,
you
know
we
may
have
a
situation
here
and
there,
but
it
really
is
clear
and
it
allows
an
sro
to
say
clearly
say
no
or
it
gives
an
administrator
clear
boundaries
in
law
right.
Sometimes
people
need
to
see
things
in
law
or
in
a
policy
right.
We
get
parents
or
individuals
or
folks,
asking
where's
your
policy
on
this
or
where's
the
law.
S
So
if
I
understand
this
correctly,
basically,
anne
arundel
county
has
been
committed
to
the
value
that
we
place
in
our
sros.
That
they've
done
tremendous
good
in
this
school
system
and
to
our
credit,
it's
because
we
do
it
right
yeah,
and
so
we
have
lots
of
concerns
with
this
bill.
Regarding
what
it's
going
to.
You
know
that
I
guess
what
it
will
impose
on
this
school
system
and
those
are
the
amendments
that.
R
R
Nothing
in
terms
of
nothing
in
terms
of
the
data
collection,
without
the
amendments
right
that
that
that
ms
ortiz
has
shared
with
you
and
with
regard
to
the
sros.
I
completely
understand
miss
ortiz's
point
and
I've
heard
that
said
around
the
state.
As
you
know,
I
chair
the
governor's
advisory
on
school
safety,
and
so
it's
a
question
and
we
have
we're
represented
by
a
number
of
different
sro
groups
around
the
state
on
that
committee.
So
it's
a
conversation
that
we
have
fairly
frequently.
R
So
it
is
a
concern
in
other
jurisdictions.
It's
certainly
a
concern
for
us,
but
the
way
we
are
addressing
it
is
through
training.
So
we
bring
our
administrators
and
our
sros
together
under
the
leadership
of
mrs
jackson
and
mr
batten,
and
we
do
joint
training
with
elite
with
those
with
school
leadership
and
with
the
sros,
and
we
present
scenarios
where
they
have
to
pick
apart.
Is
this
a
legal
issue?
R
Is
this
a
disciplinary
issue
and
how
could
and
and
certainly
the
sro
support
our
school
teams
in
in
in
keeping
order
in
the
buildings,
but
they
don't
have
the
authority
and
discipline
just
like
we
don't
have
the
authority
in
arrest
powers,
for
example.
So
that's
how
we
are
addressing
it.
R
I
don't
necessarily
the
need
see
the
need
for
this
legislation
to
do
that,
but
I
understand
it
supports
the
greater
good
in
supporting
the
sros
having
language
that
that
they
can
count
on
or
back
them
up
when
things
in
certain
jurisdictions
may
not
be
going
the
way
they
would
like
or
should
be.
Okay.
S
AH
Don't
support
it
in
this
case
I
mean
some
people
might
look
at
this
as
opposed
to
commitments,
but
you
know,
and
to
miss
corcodel's
point
support
with
amendments.
People
will
still
talk
to
you
opposed
they're
like
okay.
You
know
we're
the
conversation.
P
AH
And
on
some
bills
we
want
the
conversation
to
be
done,
but
like
on
something
like
this,
it's
important
for
the
committee.
You
know
to
consider
certain
things,
but
also
understand
the
areas
that
we
do
support,
and
so
that
would
be
why
support
with
amendments,
especially
on
a
bill
like
this,
that
could
very
well
pass
right.
There's
some
legislation
that
okay,
I
may
not
be
so
concerned
about,
because
I
know
it's
dead
on
arrival
like
it's
not
going
anywhere.
AH
This
is
not
necessarily
it
with
a
new
chair
in
ways
of
means
and
the
sponsor
being
a
vice
chair,
and
so
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
our
voices
are
heard
and
looked
that
we
put
a
thoughtful
response
together
and
it's
not
just
you
know,
because
I
was
getting
that
made
john
williams
reputation
of
opposing
everything,
and
so
you
know
that
is
helpful,
but
sometimes
it's
not
helpful,
and
so
over
the
years
we've
looked
at
ways
I'm
like
okay.
Can
we
support?
AH
Is
there
a
piece
of
the
legislation
that
we
like,
and
even
if
we
don't
like
three
quarters
of
it?
If
we
like
this
one
quarter,
you
know
it's
helpful
to
support
with
amendments,
and
you
know
that's
all,
sometimes
it's
just
very
strategic
and
political
and
how
the
legislature
operates,
but
that's
the
reality
of
what
I'm
faced
with
as
to
whether
or
not
you
know,
delegate
washington
will
want
to
sit
down
and
chat
with
me
as
to
concerns,
and
I
know
that
maybe
and
others
have
similar
concerns
so
right.
AH
It's
not
just
us
saying
this,
and
so
you
know
miss
corcodell
mentioned
that
you
know
talking
about
amendments,
and
I
know
that
the
delegate
has
discussed
you
know
he
understands
the
concerns
with
this
bill
and
a
couple
of
his
other
bills
and
is
willing
to
listen
and
and
try
to
come
up
with
reasonable
amendments.
E
I
just
sort
of
made
one
very
brief
comment,
and
that
is,
as
I
read
this
paragraph
about
this
bill,
prohibits
a
school
resource
officer
from
unilaterally
enforcing
discipline.
The
few
years
experience
I
have
with
resource
officers
they
will.
They
do
not
get
involved
in
in
the
discipline
process,
and
I
can
think
of
many
cases
where
the
the
resource
officer
would
even
say
that
no,
that's,
not
my
purview.
E
That
is
what's
happening,
so
the
training
that
dr
alana
referenced
is
clearly
working
now,
if
there's
a
violation
of
criminal
law,
that's
their
purview
right
and
if
there's
or
issues
about
safety,
that's
their
purview
and
also,
more
importantly,
our
resource
officers
are
mentors
for
all
of
our
kids.
F
I
absolutely
support
our
sros
and
our
sro
program.
I
do
not
mean
to
in
any
way
shape
or
form
suggest
that
I
don't.
Our
sros
are
already
doing
this
job
and
they're
doing
it
very
well,
which
is
one
of
the
reasons.
I
don't
believe
that
we
would
need
a
state
law
if
this
bill
could
not
pass
in
the
purest
form,
which
is
what
what
you
said.
It
was
previously
I'm
very
nervous
with.
F
So
that's
my
concern
and
I
understand
that
you
have
to
kind
of
finesse
and
and
do
you
know
what
you
have
to
do,
but
I
don't
see
it
going
well.
In
my
personal
opinion,
I
also
would
fully
support
if,
if
our
officers
felt
the
need
for
more
clarity
on
creating
more
policy
within
our
school
system,
to
help
guide
that
or
doing
what
we
would
have
to
do
in
our
capacity
to
assist
them
in
any
way
shape
or
form.
F
B
Okay,
ms
zamasuri,
you
have
some
comments.
D
Very
short,
because
a
lot
of
what
has
been
said
is
akin
to
beating
a
dead
horse.
I
would
say
I
agree.
I
I
have
to
be
honest.
I
feel
like
I'm
similar
to
miss
den
I'm,
I'm
kind
of
halfsies.
D
I
agree
with
what
a
lot
of
what
miss
franco
said,
but
there's
other
things
I
don't
agree
with,
and
that's
kind
of
the
reason
why
I'm
muted,
because
of
a
comment
mr
silkworth
said
about
how
sros
are
role
models
for
all
of
our
students,
and
I
think
it's
important
to
recognize
that
that
reality
differs
depending
on
what
school
you're
at
that
is
not
necessary.
That
might
be
the
case
at
maybe
reciprocal
park,
but
that
might
not
be
the
case
of
me.
D
That
might
be
the
case
at
broad
neck,
but
that
might
not
be
the
case
in
glen
burnie,
and
so
I
think
I
will
concede-
and
I
say
this
simply
because
I've
seen
the
work
that
has
been
done
to
create
training
for
sros,
that
we
are
getting
better
when
it
comes
to
how
we
train
our
school
resource
resource
officers,
how
we
allow
them
to
manage
their
relationships
with
students
so
that
all
schools
can
see
their
sros
as
role
models.
But
I
would
not
say
that
that
is
the
entire
case
at
this
point.
D
However,
thinking
about
what
mr
silkworth
said
about
how
typically
sros
are
not
unilaterally
involved,
that's
when
it
comes
to
discipline.
That's
the
job
of
administration.
That
kind
of
sways
my
opinion
on
this
legislation
more
on
one
side
than
the
other,
so
just
keeping
it
sync.
There.
F
Sorry,
just
briefly,
I
I
it
just
occurred
to
me
that
miss
amassory
was
not
here
when
the
police
presented
last
time.
I
would
love
to
see
if
we
could
have
them
back
and
I
believe
we've
mentioned
yearly,
potentially
yeah.
AG
O
B
Okay,
I
think
that
concludes
item
6.06.
J
Sorry
I
just
wanted
just
to
I'm
not
a
fan
of
post
post
vote
script
comments,
but
I
I
do
want
to
notify
the
members
that
I
think
this
piece
of
legislation
and
a
couple
others.
I
I
just
want
to
sort
of
advance
notice
and
I
believe,
I'm
not
alone
with
my
colleagues
that,
as
we
get
a
little
closer
and
and
the
following
deadlines
close
and
we
start
to
home
in
on
exactly
where
we're
going.
J
Because
yeah,
it
just
keeps
adding
in
and
always
a
dangerous
question
to
ask
a
delegate.
But
their
priorities
are
in
education
because
it
usually
leads
to
more
legislation
and.
AH
On
top
of
it-
and
sometimes
you
know
a
bill
that
we
support
is
amended
in
a
way
that
we
can't
support
anymore.
You
know
what
I
mean,
so
it's
very
fluid
during
the
session,
and
so
I'm
I'm
all
over
it,
and
if
I
miss
something
my
green
street
colleagues
will
get
me
straight
on
friday
afternoon
when
we
meet
every
friday
during
sessions,
so
lots
of
eyes.
You
know
on
these
bills.
AH
B
Okay
item
6.07
the
seven
elementary
school
third
party
project,
digital
marquee,
dr
alado,
thank.
M
B
M
Director
of
facilities
and
severed
has
done
everything
according
to
policy,
and
we
are
looking
forward
to
your
approval,
so
they
can
move
on
with
your
project.
B
M
B
Yes,
it
looks
like
a
wonderful,
wonderful
opportunity
and
I
think
if
I
see
no
other
lights,
we
are.
AG
Ready
to
vote
mr
silkworth
aye,
ms
ray
oh,
miss
ellis.
M
AG
O
C
B
Okay,
zealous.
B
On
the
next
okay,
okay,
so
we
have.
O
B
Consensus.
Okay,
do
we
have
consensus?
Okay,
we
do
wonderful,
wonderful!
Thank
you
all
right
now,
miss
ellis.
S
Thank
you,
so
I
have
a
statement
to
make
an
emotion
for
the
calendar.
S
In
accordance
with
this
commitment
and
these
objectives,
the
board
commits
that
and
I'm
going
to
highlight
the
second
commitment,
which
is
aacps
procedures
and
practices,
will
provide
for
educational
equity
and
ensure
that
there
are
no
obstacles
to
accessing
educational
opportunities
for
any
aacps
student.
This
is
the
board's
policy.
S
S
However,
let's
give
ourselves
credit.
Our
staff
has
had
the
benefit
of
multiple
afternoons
of
professional
development
over
the
last
few
years.
Hitting
the
pause
button
for
one
semester
will
not
erase
that
work,
but
helping
our
teachers
feel
less
stressed
and
distracted
by
their
significant
workload.
Issues
will
help
make
this
training
more
impactful.
S
S
With
these
considerations
in
mind,
I
move
that
the
hours
following
student
dismissal
on
the
early
dismissal
days
currently
scheduled
for
professional
development
on
february
9th
and
march
30th
of
this
year,
be
considered
unscheduled
hours
for
teachers
to
use
at
their
own
discretion
and
that
the
professional
development
plan
for
those
afternoons
be
accessible
as
asynchronous
equity.
Training
to
be
completed
by
august
26
of
2022
and
or
offered
as
in-person
training
to
take
place.
During
the
week
of
opening
activities
for
teachers
august
19th
to
26th
as
further
determined
by
the
superintendent.
F
B
Okay,
miss
shawnheim.
O
Yeah,
I
have
some
words
about
this:
it's
absolute
madness
and
unconscionable
that
any
of
us
are
talking
about
reducing,
delaying
and
or
in
any
way,
minimizing
equity.
Pd.
Anything
of
the
sort
undermines
our
emission
of
all
means
all
our
strategic
plan
and
this
work,
this
board
and
the
school
system
have
invested
in
with
our
county.
Several
task
force
forces
and
with
our
equity
work
with
mabe
equity
is
at
the
center
of
everything
we
do
and
something
we
talk
about
non-stop.
O
Our
caucus
room
is
adorned
with
a
huge
wall,
graphic
of
the
mabe
equity
lens,
which
the
board
applies
when
developing
policy
and
it's
equally
important
to
all
board
actions,
additionally,
equity,
essential
to
all
school
system.
Discussions
and
decision
making.
I'm
certain
dr
alado
will
agree
with
that
statement.
O
The
topics
presented
during
united
apd's
must
be
engaged
with
and
learned
in
real
time
where
discussions
between
colleagues
can
be
had
not
asynchronously.
In
the
background,
whilst
doing
other
things,
these
topics
are
too
important
to
be
minimized.
In
that
way,
we
only
have
to
look
at
what
goes
on
in
our
schools
in
terms
of
bullying
and
bias
events
or
more
broadly,
in
our
communities,
to
see
how
important
it
is
that
everyone
feel
welcomed,
included,
safe
supported
and
given
the
opportunity
to
succeed,
while
asynchronous
equity
pd
might
seem
like
a
solution
to
addressing
teacher
workload.
O
O
Furthermore,
equity
pd
needs
full
attention
and
community
engagement,
the
teachers
and
the
staff
and
building
disc
in
a
building
discussing
together
how
the
material
applies
to
their
shared
experiences
and
to
the
students
in
their
school
equity
is
not
an
academic
subject.
It
is
a
skill,
a
way
of
seeing
and
responding
that
needs
to
be
learned
in
practice.
Meaningful
equity,
pd
constantly
means
constantly
evolving
professional
growth
in
insight
and
interaction
based
on
constant
changes
within
the
school
population
and
current
challenges.
O
Making
equity
pd
asynchronous
is
like
setting
it
out
in
the
cold,
without
food
or
water
to
die.
Pitting
equity,
pd
against
teacher
and
staff
wellness
is
wrong.
That's
look
harder
at
teacher
duties,
virtual
instruction,
recruiting
or
substitutes,
etc,
items
that
might
actually
impact
teacher
workload
and
thereby
improve
teacher
wellness.
I
am
absolutely
in
with
every
ounce
of
my
being
against
any
resolution
or
motion
that
would
any
way
reduce
decrease
or
minimize
our
staff's
work
and
commitment
to
equity.
O
B
Thank
you.
Yes,
dr
arlotto.
R
You
members
for
the
board
I
don't
want
to.
I
want
to
try
and
be
additive
and
not
repetitive.
So
I
appreciate
mrs
scholheim's
comments.
I
do
have
concerns
with
this
motion.
The
first
is
that
the
motion
specifies
operational
parts
of
the
school
system,
which
is
the
delivery
of
professional
development
and
that's
under
the
purview
of
the
superintendent.
R
For
us,
it
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
withhold
the
professional
development
until
august
for
pre-service
days,
because
this
is
professional
development
that
we're
focusing
on
now
for
next
for
this
year
and
next
year,
we'll
have
additional
professional
development
that
will
continue
to
that
will
renew
and
continue
to
focus
on
those
areas
of
culturally
responsive
teaching
in
the
brain.
R
Likewise
to
go
asynchronously,
as
mr
scholheim
points
out
really
defeats
the
purpose.
The
content
is
important,
but
it
is
so
much
more
about
the
conversation
that
has
had
the
push
and
pull
that
occurs.
I
have
the
great
opportunity,
as
do
my
entire
executive
staff
and
senior
staff,
where
we
pick
a
school
each
year
and
we
participate.
R
We
are
part
of
that
school's
team
and
I
get
to
see
the
growth
that
goes
on
because
they
challenge
each
other
as
a
school
community
that
staff,
and
that
can't
happen
when
you
are
just
reviewing
the
content
in
an
asynchronous
format
in
my
own
independence.
While
it
does
give
me
that
while
it
does
give
me
well,
it
does
allow
me
the
freedom
to
do
that.
It
really
defeats
the
purpose.
It
is
the
content,
but
it
is
also
the
conversation
and
the
follow-up
that
occurs.
That
is
really
important
and
then.
R
Lastly,
this
is-
and
I
have
spoken
to
this
on
several
occasions
publicly
in
our
meetings-
I
I
cannot
recommend
nor
support
any
reduction
in
our
professional
development
as
a
whole
and
certainly
as
it
relates
to
our
equity
and
our
unity
work.
It
is
just
far
too
important
that
we've
established
this
work
here
in
anne
arundel
county
public
schools.
It
is
about
everything
that
we
are
doing
in
every
aspect
of
our
work
and
this
work
needs
to
continue.
R
B
Thank
you,
dr
alato.
I
wanted
to
say
a
couple
of
things
myself.
First
of
all,
I've
in
the
course
of
my
professional
work
do
some
similar
work
as
equity
pd,
as
is
comprehended
in
equity
pd,
and
I
I
have
to
say
from
that
perspective.
I
share
the
concern
about
asynchronous.
B
It's
not
the
same
thing
in
philosophical
terms.
This
requires
a
kind
of
an
implication
of
the
self
and
that's
that's
a
living
thing,
and
so
I
have
concerns
about
that.
That
will
sort
of
get
the
worst
of
possible
worlds.
We'll
have
something
that
checks
a
box
but
doesn't.
B
Accomplish
what
it
needs
to
accomplish?
My
my
other
practical
concern.
To
be
honest,
is
I
just
don't
see
how
this
is
going
to
fix,
as
has
been
noted
in
some
of
the
testimony
and
other
things,
the
actual
problem,
which
is
teachers,
need
relief.
They've
made
that
very,
very
clear
to
us,
and
anyone
can
see
it
who
observes
what
life
is
like
right
now.
B
I
worry
that
this
is
a
kind
of
band-aid
and
I
would
be
very
concerned
if
we
passed
something
like
this
and
then
said
to
ourselves.
Oh,
we
really
provided
relief
to
the
teachers
because
I
just
don't
think
that's
what
this
amounts
to
at
the
end
of
the
day,
not
that
anybody
doesn't
want
an
extra
couple
of
hours
here
and
there,
but
that's
not
really
the
issue,
and
so
I
guess
I'd
I'd
like
to
ask
you,
dr
arlatto.
B
There
was
some
testimony
tonight
which
raised
a
couple
of
other
possibilities
and,
and
maybe
those
or
maybe
some
others.
I
think
there
was
one
suggestion
in
some
of
the
testimony
about
you
know
during
what
could
be
a
faculty
meeting.
B
Some
of
this
could
occur
a
kind
of
doubling
up
of
time
that
teachers
are
committed
to,
and
I
just
wondered
if
you,
dr
alado
or
any
other
staff,
had
thoughts
about
any
of
those
things
that
were
raised
or
any
other
possibilities
with
regard
to
where
we
might
find
something
that
really
gets
at
the
source
of
the
problem
for
for
teachers.
R
R
Supported
one
of
those
three
days
in
the
end,
so
I
brought
forward
a.
I
was
asked
to
bring
forward
some
ideas
about
finding
some
time
for
staff,
and
I
did
that
and
offered
three
days
that
were
unrelated
to
the
equity
professional
development
that
would
not
limit
or
eliminate
professional
development,
and
that
was
not
supported
by
the
board.
So.
P
R
Remind
you
of
that,
certainly
if,
if
the
board,
just
if
the
board
chooses
to
to
not
continue
to
support
our
equity
pd
days,
then
we
will
use
other
time
in
the
day,
as
maybe
was
suggested
by
some
of
the
public
comment
that
are
that
are
available
to
administrators
in
their
time
with
staff
to
deliver
and
engage
in
that
professional
development.
B
Okay,
thank
you,
mr
silkworth,
and
then
ms
corker.
E
Thank
you,
president
tobin
boy.
This
is
one
of
those
tough
decisions.
I
guess
that's
why
they
pay
us
the
big
bucks.
So
in
recent
days
we've
received
multiple
emails
concerning
equity,
pd
and
staff
needs
for
help
with
their
ever
ever-increasing
workload.
E
E
E
So
my
instincts
tell
me
to
think
back
to
the
days
when
I
was
the
teacher
in
the
classroom
in
the
school
when
I
was
involved
in
pd
situations,
while
being
stressed
because
of
an
upcoming
observation,
with
the
need
to
plan
for
four
different
subjects.
In
one
day,
my
focus
on
pd
was
clearly
not
what
it
should
have
been
because
of
the
stress
that
I
was
experiencing,
and
I
would
suggest
to
you
that
there
are
many
teachers
out
there
experiencing
that
same
stress
today.
E
E
E
E
I
might
suggest
that,
had
I
had
the
opportunity
to
complete
many
pd
sessions
in
an
asynchronous
manner.
During
my
teaching
career,
there
would
have
been
many
times
that
I
would
have
chosen
to
do
so.
E
I
do
hear
the
comments
about
the
face
to
face
being
more
productive.
I
understand
that
there
were
times
when
actually
during
my
career,
I
was
able
to
do
so,
and
I
did
find
that
being
able
to
do
it.
Asynchronously
was
more
beneficial
to
me
and,
ultimately
to
my
students,
because
I
was
able
to
plan
what
I
needed
to
plan.
E
I
might
add
that
every
teacher
has
his
or
her
own
stress
or
causes
of
stress
one
size
does
not
fit
all.
Therefore,
one
solution
will
not
solve
all
of
the
problems.
The
stress
levels
of
our
teachers
is
much
greater
today
than
before
covet.
These
are
unique
times
and
we're
traveling
down
roads.
We
have
never
traveled
before.
E
So
I
continue
to
think
about
what,
if
I
were
still
teaching.
What
would
I
want
my
board
member
to
say
we
should
respect
our
teachers,
and
I
know
we
all
do
and
staff
enough
to
allow
them
to
make
some
decisions
for
themselves
the
other
professionals
who
will
know
best
how
to
solve
the
stress
issues
and
work
with
issues
of
a
teacher
other
than
the
teacher
himself
or
herself.
E
So
if
a
teacher
would
like
to
have
time
during
these
assigned
pd
times
to
make
other
professional
choices
which
will
help
eliminate
their
stress,
while
increasing
student
achievement,
that's
a
tough
decision
when
it
comes
to
the
issue
of
equity.
But
I
think
that
this
decision
should
be
left
up
to
the
teacher.
E
I
don't
think
that
this
is
a
perfect
motion.
It
does
not,
however,
eliminate
equity,
pd
or
the
wellness
of
the
staff.
E
I
think
it
may
provide
a
pathway
for
teachers
to
make
decisions,
and
I
trust
that
all
of
our
teachers
and
staff,
I
trust,
all
of
them-
to
make
the
best
decisions
for
themselves
and
their
students
we
they
do
so
every
day
in
the
classroom.
Why
would
they
not
do
so
for
this?
So
thank
you.
For
the
time
president
told
me.
J
Thank
you,
president
tobin.
I
do
have
a
couple
questions
for
commentary
and
debate
on
it.
Dr
alato,
you
in
our,
which
I
don't
know
one
second,
let
me
get
to
it.
I
thought.
C
I
had
it
up
and
I
put
it
back
again.
This
is
our
our.
J
Local
essay
plan
consolidated
strategic
plan
in
your
reports,
and
I
think
our
most
recent
is
2020
because
you
do
them
in
october,
you
compile
the
data
right
and
then
so
2021
will
be
issued
in
october
right.
So
this
is
2020
is
the
most
current
essay
plan.
J
J
J
Well,
this
is
one
of
the
things
few
transitions
that
when
the
transmissions
we
don't
actually
sign
off
as
a
board,
and
it
is
of
course
on
our
website-
and
I
I
do
have
a
copy
of
it.
But
in
there
when
you
are
discuss,
when
you
are,
I
guess
highlighting
what
we
do
as
a
school
system.
One
of
the
things
that
stood
out
to
me
is
that
you
go
over
basically
that
we
have
a
plan
for
equity,
professional
development,
and
these
are
required
developments.
J
J
That
is
an
interpretation
of
our
policy
or
a
sop
that
we
are
operating
under
it
or
is
it
in
hr
anywhere?
Could
you
share
the
required
piece
of
our
training
for
our
staff.
R
Say
that
because
it's
required
by
the
school
system
right,
there's
no
state
law,
there's
no
local
law,
it
is
required
by
the
school
system
and
that's
that
terminology
references.
R
No,
no!
It's
not
in
regulatory
language
that
we
we
can.
We
get
to
decide
the
professional
development
that
we
deem
is
appropriate
for
our
employees
and
then
we
can
require
employees
to
go
through
training
and
it
could
be
content
training
because
I'm
a
math
teacher,
it
could
be
equity
training
that
is
systemic
across
the
school
across
the
school
system.
It
could
be.
R
J
R
No,
those
not
neces
they're,
not
necessarily
related
to
a
teacher,
maintaining
earning
or
maintaining
their
certification,
that's
separate
in
a
part
where
they
earn
those
credits
towards
their
re-certification
or
certification
with
a
maryland
state
department
of
education.
This
is
separate,
and
apart
from
that.
R
Now-
and
I
will
say
that
we
do
offer
some
professional
development
in
some
areas
that
has
approved
that
we
seek
approval
from
msde
that
can
earn
them
those
recertification
credits,
but
has
to
be
approved
by
the
maryland
state
department
of
education
in
advance.
We
do
have
some
of
our
professional
development
that
we
offer
in
that
allows
for
that.
J
I
have
another
question
for
you,
dr
alato,
so
you
had
presented
and
I
do
apologize
to
my
colleagues
again.
I
did
have
a
family
health
emergency.
At
the
time
we
were
debating.
I
didn't
miss
the
whole
meeting,
but
I
did
miss
dr
alado's
proposal
of
the
of
the
half
days
and
did
not
get
a
chance
to
weigh
in
and
vote
here.
So
I
I'm
not
re
reiterating,
but
I
I
do
want
to
know.
J
We
did
come
up
you
you
and
your
staff
did
work
and
spent
about
six
or
eight
weeks
when
recognizing
that
these
impacts
are
going
to
be
long
long-standing
for
our
staff
and
then
came
up
with
these
recommendations
that
did
not
interfere
with
pd
or
too
much
but
did
require
altercation
to
the
calendar,
obviously
as
it
related
to
their
being
in
the
in
the
building,
etc,
etc.
So
I
guess
my
question
is
or
or
what
I'm
scratching
my
head
about.
J
All
of
this
is
why
now,
two
months
later,
that
opportunity
is
still
not
an
option
for
us
to
come
up
with,
in
other
words,
legitimate
mental
health
opportunities,
whether
it's
and
quite
honestly,
what
mr
silkworth
was
talking
about.
Just
struck
a
very
big
chord,
and
I
heard
it
echoed-
maybe
not
in
so
many
different
ways.
It
didn't
occur
to
me.
J
I
just
is
there
opportunities
for
us
to
explore
those
and
consider
them
as
it
relates
to
operations,
because
I'm
seeing
that
we
did
find
some
days
come
and
gone,
and
we
also
have
from
time
to
time
considered
flexibility
as
it
relates
to
leave
and
such,
and
when
mr
silkworth
had
mentioned
that
we
need
to
trust
that
our
teachers
know
what's
in
their
best
mental
and
and
interest
and
interest
of
their
students.
J
I
agree
with
that
statement
and
I
agree
with
what
miss
ellis
is
trying
to
do.
I
just
I
honestly
for
the
life
of
me,
don't
understand
why
it
has
to
be
only
on
these
days
and
that's
the
only
opportunity
to
do
both
of
these
things.
J
Can
you
further
give
some
insight,
or
maybe
some
thoughts
on
what
I
just
said
as.
R
I
don't
know
that
I
have
any
insight,
but
I'm
glad
to
give
you
my
thoughts.
Nothing
precludes
this
board
from
altering
the
calendar,
so
I
offered
days
they
weren't
approved
by
the
board.
R
Okay,
I
identified
days
that
I
thought
were
strategically
appropriate,
but
it
would
have
taken
a
vote
of
the
board
to
change
the
calendar
because
they
were
full
school
days
and
they
would
have
become
half
days
so
it
would
have
taken
a
vote
of
the
board,
but
I
picked
three
dates
strategically
that
I
thought
would
lend
themselves
one
to
not
losing
too
much
instructional
time
because
of
when
they
were
picked,
and
it
would
have
led
to
possibly
longer
weekend
slightly
longer
weekends
for
families,
and
so
I
think
he
would
have
had
less
pushback
from
families
and
certainly
I
think
the
staff
would
appreciate
it.
J
And
so
you're
willing
to
do
that
if
we
want
to
take
a
look
at
that,
would
do
you
and
your
staff
have
time
to
come
up
with
new
proposed
dates
for
mental
health
or
even
other
solutions,
as
I
had
suggested,
you
know
individualizing
it
as,
as
mr
silkworth
had
pointed
out
to
you
know,
allow
teachers
you
know
so.
J
J
Okay,
president
tobin,
depending
on
the
out
I
mean,
if
the
bill
were
to
pass,
then
obviously
there's
not
a
need
for
that.
If
it
does
not,
I
think
I
don't
want
to
abandon,
but
I
also
do
not
want
to
interfere
with
a
syllabus,
which
is
how
I've
always
viewed
our
professional
development,
because
it
is
built
upon.
J
B
Yeah,
let
me
just
say
procedurally,
what
I
think
is
in
our
best
interest
is
to
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
on
the
table.
We
need
to
discuss
it,
we
need
to
vote
on
it
if
it
does
not
pass,
I
would
suggest
we
take
we,
whatever
the
appropriate
term,
is
table
this
and
maybe
request.
B
That
we
get
additional
at
a
later
date
additional
suggestions
from
the
staff,
because
I
don't
think
any
of
us
want
to
ask
them
to
come
up
with
that
on
the
fly
tonight
or
vote
on
it
on
the
fly,
and
that
seems
to
me
the
the
most
appropriate
way
to
proceed
with
this.
So.
J
I
I
agree
with
you,
and
so
I
guess
I
would
just
ask
you
know
once
a
motion
gets
seconded,
because
the
motion
becomes
of
the
board,
but
I
I
personally
always
feel
of
of
courtesy
to
to
the
motion
maker,
especially
one
who
put
in
so
much
time
and
effort
reaching
out
to
so
many
stakeholders
and
trying
to
find
that
way,
because
we
do
care
so
much
and
I
I
know
miss
ellis
does
if
there
is
based
on
what
dr
alato
has
just
shared
with
us,
a
willingness
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
not
go
back
to
the
drawing
board,
but
to
reconsider.
J
I
don't
know
if
there's
an
interest
just
to
simply
hold
this
vote
over
to
see
what
else
materializes
or
if
there
is
an
interest
in
an
immediate
action
and
then
from
there,
because,
as
I
said
I
I
don't,
I
don't
see
one
as
being
re
replacement.
Although
mr
silkworthy
made
some
very,
very
good
points
as
it
relates,
and
I
think
if
these
were
optional
training,
I
would
be
more
inclined
to
be
in
alignment
with
where
you
are,
but
these
are
already
required
of
our
teachers.
J
So
I
I
kind
of
feel
like
that.
We
already
imposed
it
and
so
to
speak
so
well.
B
F
Yes,
thank
you.
I
will
be
introducing
an
amendment
to
this
motion.
I
would
like
to
say
before
I
introduce
that
motion
that
I
would
not
support
a
further
adjustment
of
our
calendar
that
will
again
require
our
parents
to
adjust
their
schedules
and
take
off
work
so
to
this
motion.
F
If
this
is
the
way
that
we
are
able
to
accommodate
a
mental
health
support
for
our
teachers,
I
will
support
it.
If
this
motion
fails,
I
would
not
bring
this
back
to
the
board
to
continue
over
and
over
again
trying
to
figure
this
out
if
it
if
it
passes
it
passes.
If
it
doesn't,
I
wouldn't
support
to
continue
this,
so
I
will
move
that
the
hours
filing
student
dismissal
on
the
early
to
amend
the
motion.
L
F
C
F
So
I
would
just
like
to
point
out
that
dr
alado
mentioned
that
that
is
under
his
purview
and
so
to
make
this
motion
a
little
more
in
line
with
what
we
would
need
to
do
to
pass
it
I'm
offering
this.
But
obviously,
if
dr
arlotto
chooses
to
have
an
asynchronous
asynchronous
option,
you
know
the
board
would
likely
support
any
efforts
to
do
so.
B
O
So
so
far
this
year
we've
had
hundreds
of
bowling
and
bias
motivated
events
in
our
schools.
Hundreds
this
further
diminishes
our
our
stance
on
equity,
our
commitment
to
it
and
I'm
a
I'm
a
no
thanks.
H
We
say
the
word
equity
professional
development
goes
to
the
growth
of
our
workforce.
It
is
not
just
how
we
keep
pigeonholing
and
I
have
a
serious
concern,
as
I
said
before,
when
we
make
decisions
that
impact
the
day-to-day
operations
of
our
school
system.
There's
a
lot
of
work
goes
into
this
calendar.
I
probably
can
tell
you
I'm
exhausted
with
this
calendar,
because
I
can't
imagine
being
in
dr
lotto's
and
his
team
shoes
in
the
morning,
depending
on
what
this
motion
pass,
because
yet
again
we're
going
to
make
changes.
H
We
just
1
20
january
20th
literally,
is
tomorrow
less
than
less
than
14
days
ago.
We
talked
about
this
this
this
this
calendar,
and
yet
we
can't
even
make
a
decision
30
days
out.
So
here
we
are
yet
again
spending
another
long
talk
about
a
calendar
that
we
just
don't
put
enough
energy
into
the
calendar.
H
So
I
again
humbly
ask
everyone
to
table
this
decision
until
we
can
actually
look
at
the
calendar
and
if
we
want
to
sit
down
and
put
a
group
together
whatever
we
need
to
do,
but
we
are
going
toward
the
same
thing
that
we
continue
to
do.
Is
if
we
move
the
professional
development
off
the
calendar
for
february
the
9th
and
the
30th,
then,
where
do
we
put
it
and
what's
the
knee
jet
reaction
to
everything
that
we
put
in?
So
I
that's
one.
H
AB
S
Or
no,
it
is
because
there
is
an
amendment
proposed
to
the
motion
I
offered
so
I'm
kind
of
indifferent
about
the
amendment.
The
the
language
that
I
offered
was
specifically
to
ensure
that
we
were
maintaining
professional
development
it.
My
motion
does
not
eliminate
professional
development.
S
I
guess
language
that
maybe
made
some
operational
decisions,
but
the
language
I
offered
sorry,
I
forgot
to
keep
it
in
front
of
me-
was.
S
That
the
professional
development
plan
for
those
afternoons
be
accessible
as
asynchronous
training
to
be
completed
by
a
certain
date
and
or
offered
as
in-person
training
to
take
place
the
week
of
opening
activities.
In
other
words,
the
the
point
of
the
motion
was
to
say
we're
not
eliminating
professional
development
and
there's
options,
but
the
value
I
see
in
the
amendment
is
it
doesn't
all
options
could
be
explored
to
be
able
to
carry
out
professional
development
while
still
allowing
staff
to
pause
and
yeah.
So
I
I
guess
I
mean
I
could
support
the
amendment.
B
Okay,
miss
frank:
did
you
want
to
say
anything
before
we
vote?
I
don't.
F
See
him
just
briefly
a
couple
of
the
comments
that
I
heard
were
not
really
speaking
to
the
amendment,
so
I
just
wanted
to
be
clear
that
the
amendment
just
allows
dr
arlatto
to
do
whatever
operationally
he
decides
is
best,
and
it
gives
him
more
flexibility
to
do
that.
So
this
is
nothing
to
do
with
the
main
motion.
This
is
just
to
open
up
the
the
amendment
to
open
up
the
main
motion
to
make
it
a
little
bit
more
accessible
for
him.
AG
F
E
We're
voting
we're
voting,
I'm
going
to
vote.
C
A
E
E
E
E
B
B
C
O
Meeting
that
had
those
three
days,
one
of
them
was
december
3rd,
which
was
just
a
short
time
later.
We
decided
not
to
act
as
a
board
and
honor
that
night,
because
it
was
too
soon
for
the
the
main.
The
main
reason,
the
main
rationale
was
that
it
was
too
quick
for
our
for
our
parents
who
couldn't
possibly
you
know,
plan
for
that.
So
now
we're
looking
to
potentially
table
this
but
february
9th
is
not
all
that
far
from
here,
so
you're
gonna,
so
by
the
same
so
we're
to
put
parents
in
that
same
predicament.
O
With
this,
I'm
a
no
on
this
on
this
motion
the
table,
and
I
guess
you
can
read
the
I'm
a
no
on
the
main
motion
too
so
yeah.
J
Thank
you,
mr
silkworth.
That
was
some
of
the
where
I
was
considering
going
with
this
because,
as
I've
said
in
my
beginning,
I
don't
want
to
reiterate,
but
for
the
point
of
of
wide
table.
J
Our
conditions
in
november
were
were
definitely
different
than
they
are
now
we're
experiencing
some
new
issues
we
have
speaking
of
changes,
we've
got
cdc
and,
and
the
state
and
the
local
government
changing
how
we're
operating
on
a
near
daily
basis
out
of
out
of
health
concerns,
and
so
I
completely
expect
this
year
to
continue
to
have
a
necessity
of
flexibility,
agility
and
some
grace,
and
I
don't
think
that
disposing
of
the
needs
of
our
teachers
by
way
of
one
vote
is
going
to
solve
our
problem.
And
that's
what
we've
been
up
here.
J
Equity
is
too
important
to
ignore
and
we
made
a
commitment,
quite
frankly
as
a
board
when
we
decided
to
support
dr
arlatto
in
including
requiring
this
of
our
staff
and
now
is
not
the
time
to
abandon
that.
J
But
neither
is
it
the
time
to
just
dismiss
this
off
either
and
abandon
any
hope
of
having
some
wellness
relief
for
our
teachers,
and
so
I
like
what
mr
silkworth
is
doing,
because
what
we're
doing
is
actually
going
back
to
representative
stakeholders
and
asking
for
their
input
and
perhaps
something
we
should
have
done
more
due
diligence
of,
and
I
think
that
out
of
there
we
will
have
enough
clarity
to
ascertain
what
some
of
those
solutions
are,
and
I
think
if
we
pose
what
we
are
challenged
with
now
with
that
work
group,
maybe
even
include
our.
L
J
J
J
That's
not
going
to
benefit
the
child
either
or
the
family,
so
I
really
think
we
can
have
our
cake
and
eat
it
too.
If
we
just
take
that
step
back,
so
I
would
just
encourage
everyone
to
consider
that
that
and
and
I'm
not
willing
to
walk
away
yet
from
the
solution.
Maybe
next
week
we
have
this
discussion
and
I
don't
think
it's
a
waste
of
our
time
and
we
decide.
J
Ultimately,
no
that's
that's
okay,
but
let's
give
our
stakeholders
some
time.
Let's
get
them
input,
because
we
did
not
present
this
to
that
work
group
and
I
don't
like
continuously
tossing
around
decisions
on
behalf
of
our
professionals,
who
are
well
fully
capable
of
sharing
how
they
could
see
that
work
under
our
barrage
of
barriers
and
not
allow
our
colleagues
hard
work
go
in
vain.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you,
ms
ellis.
S
No,
I'm
I'm
just
clarifying,
I'm
not
speaking
to
my
motion
right
now,
I'm
only
speaking
to
the
the
table,
the
tabling
and
I
I
I
can't
support
it,
though
I
appreciate
the
the
the
intention
or
the
the
reasons
for
it,
but
our
next
board
meeting
is
february
2nd
and
our
first
early
dismissal
that
would
be
impacted
by
this
is
february
9th.
So
I,
for
that
reason
I
can't
I
can't
table.
I
can't
support
tabling
it.
R
I
don't
want
to
be
repetitive,
but
mrs
ellis
made
the
point
that
I
was
going
to
make
that
if
you're
tabling,
I
was
seeking
clarification
tabling
for
how
long
right,
because
the
clock
is
ticking
right,
you
have
another
meeting
on
the
second
and
the
and
the
first
professional
development
that
would
be
impacted
by
this
motion.
The
original
motion
should
it
pass,
is
february
9th,
and
there
are
currently
people
that
are
being
prepared
to
deliver
that
professional
development
that
is
going
on
now.
C
B
S
AG
AG
B
B
I
believe
we
have
taken
care
of
item
6.08,
all
right
item,
7.01
construction
status
report.
S
J
Just
really
briefly,
first
off,
thank
you
guys.
I
I
know
it's
a
heavy
lift
and
development
is
from
what
I
understand
at
all
levels.
It
gets
a
little
weird
and
awkward
around
coven
with
supplies
and
everything
else.
But
to
that
effect,
are
we
seeing
any
significant
impacts
as
it
relates
to
the
supply
chain
or
to
availability
of
our
contract
workers
or
contracted
workers?
AI
As
far
as
the
availability
of
workers,
no
material
supplies,
price
increases.
Yes,
we
have
seen
that
and
it
is
affecting
schedules
on
jobs.
None
of
the
major
projects
are
being
impacted.
It's
more
of
the
smaller
ones.
J
AI
AI
AI
J
Okay
and
then
does
there's
a
state
funding
portion.
Do
they
have
accommodations
for
escalations?
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
just
some
projects
or
if
they
still
do
that.
AI
Right
now
we
are
locked
in
with
a
dollar
per
square
foot,
cost
that
they
allocate
towards
each
of
the
large
capital
projects.
But
there
is
opportunities
to
request
a
waiver.
J
B
Thank
you,
mr
selfworth.
E
I
just
had
one
question
about
the
north
county:
high
school
construction.
That's
under
it
shows
a
completion
date
of
august
23
that's
about
a
year
and
a
half
away,
but
it
also
shows
the
current
status
is
83
percent
complete.
Is
there
any
chance
that
it
might
be
finished
early.
AI
Yeah
there
is
a
chance
that
it
could
be
finished
this
summer
towards
the
end
of
the
fall.
We're
working
with
the
contractor.
The
the
20
2023
date
shown
in
the
report
is
the
contract
date.
Okay,.
N
O
Yes,
thank
you,
as
always,
for
those
appreciate
it.
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
people-
transportation
category
and
you
don't
have
to.
If
you
don't
have
this
information
in
front
of
you,
that's
fine.
You
can
get
a
test
at
a
later
time.
I
understand
that
there's
penalties
for
not
running,
not
running,
runs
and
we're
also
not
paying
for
those
runs.
AF
Electric
no
chief
operating
officer-
I
do
have
those
figures-
I
don't
have
them
with
me
tonight,
but
before
you
go
dancing
off
trying
to
spend
that
money
twice.
Remember
that
you
know
barrel
of
oil,
topped
87
on
the
market
this
morning,
whereas
last
year,
this
time
we
were
sitting
at
about
about
41
or
so
so
we
are
107
increase
in
the
price
of
fuel
right
now
and
right
less
than
12
months,
so
yeah
to
the
extent
that
we're
saving
some
monies
on
you
know
the
the
minimus
liquidated
damages.
AF
So
we're
charging
these
contractors
it's
getting
gobbled
up
by
by
the
fuel
costs,
because.
AF
AF
AF
O
C
S
Before
we
close
real
quick,
yes,
dr
alado.
