G
All
right,
thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
with
you
this
evening
about
the
case
program
at
southern
high
school.
I
am
imploring
you
tonight
to
make
the
case
program
a
magnet
program
that
stays
at
southern
high
school
and
not
placed
at
another
school.
The
case
program
that
is
run
by
dr
stacy
eckles
has
fostered
a
profound
academic
turnaround
for
my
son.
Before
my
son
joined
this
program.
He
had
no
footing
at
school,
no
direction
or
academic
purpose,
no
idea
for
his
future.
G
I
cannot
expound
enough
how
this
program
and
the
mentor
relationship
that
dr
eckles
has
provided
for.
My
son
has
changed
his
and
our
lives.
I
received
an
email
the
other
day
stating
the
kid
I
see
today.
He
is
confident
a
problem
solver
consistently
searching
for
solutions
willing
to
take
initiative
forward,
thinking
willing
to
take
the
lead
and
cover
his
responsibilities,
and
all
of
this
is
due
to
his
involvement.
In
the
case
program.
Being
a
part
of
the
case
program
at
southern
high
school
has
taught
my
son
invaluable
knowledge
and
skills
about
the
agricultural
industry.
G
He
now
works
regularly
with
local
farmers
to
learn
more
about
agriculture,
mechanics
and
business.
We
need
the
case
program
expanded
to
include
agricultural
mechanics,
more
classes
in
food
science
and
an
agricultural
business
to
ready
our
students
to
become
a
part
of
our
country's
agricultural
industry.
If
anything
can
be
seen
from
recent
world
events,
grain
production
is
in
high
demand.
Our
governor
spoke
in
his
press
conference
the
other
day
about
the
need
to
expand
agricultural
education.
G
We
need
this
program
at
southern
high
school.
We
need
to
be
integrated
into
the
school
not
separated.
Furthermore,
we
have
a
state
and
national
award-winning
ffa
program
at
southern
that
is
run
by
dr
eckles
and
integrates
what
is
learned
in
case
into
the
ffa
program.
If
moved
to
another
school,
the
ffa
program
would
become
non-existent,
as
students
do
not
stay
after
school.
At
the
cat
schools
to
participate
in
extracurricular
activities,
no
other
magnet
program
is
housed
at
a
non-traditional
high
school.
All
other
programs
are
an
integrated
part
of
the
school
system.
G
H
I
thank
you
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
to
speak
tonight
on
the
agricultural
science
program,
also
known
as
case
I'm
asking
that
you
make
this
program
available
to
all
students
in
anne
arundel
county.
I
am
dena
tys,
a
full-time
farmer
in
anne
arundel
county.
I
sit
on
the
county
agriculture
commission.
I
co-lead
the
agriculture
education
committee
volunteer
leader
of
4-h
and
ffa
programs,
a
board
member
of
the
anne
arundel
county,
fair
director
of
the
county
farm
bureau
board
member
of
southern
maryland,
ag
development
corporation
and
sit
on
the
maryland
farm
bureau,
animal
care
control
committee.
H
I
tell
you
this
to
show
that
I
am
a
leader
in
the
agriculture
community.
Agriculture
is
the
state's
largest
commercial
industry,
with
an
economic
impact
of
23
billion
each
year,
supporting
more
than
94
000,
maryland
jobs
and
generating
900
million
in
state
and
local
taxes.
While
production
agriculture
makes
up
less
than
two
percent
of
the
american
population.
H
Agriculture
jobs
provide
almost
11
percent
of
the
u.s
employment
beyond
farming
jobs
and
agriculture
include
education,
research,
biotechnology,
food
beverage,
production
and
service,
environmental
services,
energy
crop
production,
veterinary
care,
finance,
marketing,
communication
sales,
national
and
international
trade.
Textiles,
apparel
leather
production,
forestry
and
fishing.
The
opportunities
are
abundant
for
trade
or
college-bound
students.
As
a
child,
I
was
given
the
opportunity
to
explore
the
ag
science
classes.
I
went
to
12
different
schools
by
the
time
I
graduated
from
high
school.
What
was
consistent
in
my
education
was
the
case.
H
Agriculture,
science
classes,
no
matter
what
county
we
moved
to
in
maryland,
or
what
other
states
we
moved
to.
The
school
districts
would
always
allow
me
to
transfer
to
schools
that
offer
the
agriculture
science
classes
and
the
ffa
club.
This
experience
led
me
to
be
the
leader
I
am
today
in
agriculture.
I
feel
that
it
is
a
tragedy
that
kids
in
anne
arundel
county
that
know
they
want
a
career
in
agriculture
are
not
able
to
have
that
opportunity
to
go
to
school.
That
offers
what
they
need
in
high
school.
I
Good
evening,
every
day,
our
students
in
anne
arundel
experience
the
connection
with
our
county's
land,
even
without
being
aware
of
it.
Through
the
case
program,
our
children
are
becoming
future
leaders
that
will
expand
this
connection
and
help
it
flourish
through
their
awareness
and
dedication
to
the
agricultural
industry.
They
are
our
future
leaders
and
with
this
program
they
can
leave
their
footprint
in
the
soil
and
make
their
mark
by
helping
everyone
in
our
community
and
country.
My
upcoming
freshman
son
is
excited
to
be
part
of
the
case
program
at
southern
high
school
next
year.
I
He
has
watched
with
excitement
the
many
opportunities
that
his
brother
has
been
given
because
of
his
involvement
in
the
program
and
in
ffa
he
chose
not
to
apply
to
the
other
magnet
programs
because
he
wants
to
be
at
southern
high
school
and
be
part
of
this
program.
As
he
told
me
today,
taking
the
case
program
out
of
southern
high
school,
takes
away
the
opportunities
to
learn
different
skills
and
gain
knowledge
in
different
fields.
As
it
is
now.
My
son
ethan
can
be
part
of
the
case
program
and
the
welding
program
at
cap
south.
I
He
is
learning
how
to
integrate
his
knowledge
in
both
programs
to
create
a
future
career
and
pathway.
Time
again
time
and
again,
my
son
has
spoken
to
everyone,
and
I
mean
everyone
that
will
listen
to
him
about
this
program
being
expanded
at
southern
and
he
keeps
hearing
that
it's
a
bus
situation.
There
are
new
buses.
Are
you
telling
me
that
we
are
going
to
keep
our
children
from
learning
and
growing
as
future
leaders,
because
we
aren't
willing
to
work
out
how
to
get
buses
to
the
southern
end
of
the
county?
I
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
gary
palmer,
I'm
a
farmer,
father
and
grandfather
of
10
children
in
anne
arundel
county,
my
children
attended
anne
arundel
county
public
schools.
My
grandchildren
are
attending
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools,
and
I
have
a
few
on
deck
waiting
to
get
in
as
soon
as
they
get
old.
Now
I
truly
believe
in
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools,
and
because
of
that
I
came
out
tonight
because
also
as
a
farmer,
I
realized
the
challenges
that
we
face
every
day
with
our
workforce.
J
Our
farm
is
a
small
farm.
It's
located
in
the
west
river
area.
We
invite
families,
we
do
community
events
and
I
sponsor
interns.
Two
of
the
interns
I've
sponsored
one
of
the
young.
Ladies.
She
is
actually
graduating
this
year
from
hartford
county
in
their
magnet
program,
which
is
a
case
program
and
she
is
choosing
to
pursue
a
career
as
a
agricultural
lawyer,
specializing
in
representing
small
farms
on
agriculture
matters.
J
These
children
were
lucky
because
they
had
the
exposure
to
it,
but
there's
a
lot
of
kids
in
our
community
that
don't
have
that
exposure
and
we
use
a
term
in
agriculture
sustainability.
We
talk
about
environmental
sustainability,
we
talk
about
economic
sustainability,
but
workforce
sustainability
is
key
to
our
success.
J
K
Good
evening
my
name
is
christina
corona,
I'm
a
teacher
at
meade
high
school.
I
was
dismayed
that
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
we
did
very
little
to
help
integrate
students
back
into
in-person
learning.
We
opened
the
schoolhouse
doors,
expecting
students
to
go
back
to
learning
as
if
they
had
not
spent
over
a
year
in
isolation
behind
devices
consumed
by
social
media,
while
dealing
with
the
stresses
of
a
worldwide
pandemic
that
resulted
in
the
death
of
loved
ones
and
a
host
of
financial
pressures,
we
are
already
seeing
rising
rates
of
teen
depression
and
suicide.
K
In
these
last
two
years
have
made
matters
worse.
Schools
should
be
refuges
fostering
our
students
well-being,
yet
we
are
not
rising
to
this
challenge.
This
is
why
I'm
here,
urging
you
to
support
schools
and
implementing
social
and
emotional
learning.
This
must
go
beyond
sure
out
of
context
wellness
lessons.
Instead,
we
should
be
embedding
social
emotional
supports
into
what
we
do
every
day.
Our
school
system
says
it
is
committed
to
pbis
and
restorative
practices.
However,
these
initiatives
only
truly
work
when
staff
have
the
time
and
resources
to
effectively
implement
them.
K
For
our
schools
to
be
nurturing
places,
our
students
need
the
work
of
classroom.
Teachers
needs
to
be
valued
and
uplifted.
The
complexities
of
active
learning,
different
instruction
and
restorative
practices
takes
time
and
thought
to
implement.
The
classroom
is
the
center
of
learning
and
yet,
instead
of
being
given
the
supports,
we
need
teachers
have
seen
rising
student
caseloads
with
no
additional
time
to
plan.
The
pressure
of
knowing
that
you
can't
do.
All
you
need
is
taking
a
toll
on
us.
K
In
fact,
all
educators
need
a
nurturing
work
environment
that
allows
us
to
be
our
best
selves.
Unfortunately,
when
we
inevitably
inevitably
fall
short,
many
of
us
are
reprimanded
that,
rather
than
coached
and
supported,
we
cannot
afford
a
mass
exodus
of
educators.
This
is
a
matter
of
equity.
Our
students,
especially
our
most
vulnerable
ones,
need
us
to
show
up
every
day
as
our
best
selves,
so
we
are
prepared
to
meet
their
needs,
while
education
should
be
humanizing.
K
M
Go
ahead,
my
name
is
laura
bardill
and
I
represent
our
tac
members
as
an
e-coach
for
the
technology
team
and
as
a
member
of
asi
today,
I'm
honored
to
represent
educators
across
the
district
by
sharing
their
stories
to
advocate
for
safety
in
our
school
operations,
and
once
mr
silkwork
comes
back,
I
just
want
to
say
a
thank
you
to
him
for
being
at
national
history
day
awards.
Yesterday,
too,
I
will
continue
on
recently,
educators
from
alternative
programs,
took
a
climate
survey
and
suggested
solutions
for
safety.
M
On
behalf
of
these
teachers,
I
am
here
to
call
for
fulfilling
ta
and
crisis
intervention
specialist
positions,
as
they
are
essential
to
the
functioning
of
our
classrooms
and
schools.
Please
consider
helping
alternative
schools
with
pbis
funding,
as
these
schools
do
not
have
a
local
pta.
One
fact
I
know
secondary
students
appreciate
awards,
especially
food.
M
Imagine
if
these
schools
had
an
ample
supply
of
little
small
gift
cards
or
other
fun
prizes
to
catch
students
at
their
best.
That
would
be
awesome
on
behalf
of
an
elementary
teacher
in
a
title.
One
program
who
has
signed
onto
a
safety
pledge
and
who
has
suggestions
for
solutions
for
increases
in
physical
violence
from
young
learners.
She
says
every
school
needs,
consistent
funding
for
behavior,
techs
and
full-time
counselors,
psychologists
and
social
workers,
and
on
behalf
of
provisional
teachers
who
have
become
concerned,
a
provisional
teacher
who
was
told
that
her
students
run
the
school.
M
A
N
Welcome
to
the
virtual
public
comment
portion
of
our
meeting
this
evening.
Speakers
will
be
allotted
two
minutes
each
and
may
not
allocate
their
time
to
others
this.
How
will
indicate
when
your
time
has
expired?
The
board
asked
that
comments
remain
civil
and
appropriate
for
the
various
audiences
they
may
be
watching
or
viewing
this
evening.
Student
specific
and
personal
matters
are
confidential
and
cannot
be
discussed
in
this
form.
It
is
not
for
its
general
practice
to
engage
in
question
and
answer
session
with
speakers
for
the
record.
Please
give
your
name
before
speaking.
N
O
O
Good
evening
my
name
is
kim
chance.
My
daughter
is
the
last
out
of
area
student
to
attend
and
benefit
from
the
case
program
before
the
rules
changed
in
2018..
The
rules
adopted
in
2018
for
out
of
area
transfers
hinder
the
effectiveness
of
this
program
and
hurts
the
students.
How
is
it
that
we
have
students
that
want
to
participate
room
in
the
classroom
and
this
and
in
the
school
and
they
are
being
blocked
from
attending
and
benefiting
from
all
the
program
has
to
offer
kasich's
designated
as
a
vocational
program,
but
college-bound
students
benefit
also.
O
It
is
important
to
recognize
that
this
program
is
more
than
the
classes.
It
includes
a
full
program
of
after
school
activities
through
ffa
and
career
development
training
to
fully
participate.
You
have
to
attend
the
high
school.
You
cannot
pop
in
half
day
for
just
the
classes.
One
of
the
most
unique
things
that
I've
witnessed
is
the
blending
of
the
vocational
and
college-bound
students
in
the
same
academic
program.
It's
amazing
to
watch
the
leadership
dynamics,
they
are
on
equal
footing
and
it
gives
these
groups
that
are
often
separated
in
other
schools
a
chance
to
work
together.
O
Ffa
is
a
student-run
organization
and
it
is
exciting
to
watch
these
kids
work
as
a
team.
I've
chaperoned,
the
greenhouse
while
they've
run
a
full-on
commercial
business
during
the
holidays
they
market,
buy
supplies,
create
schools,
create
work
schedules,
create
an
assembly
line
to
build
the
product
and
then
greet
and
assist
customers.
They
manage
the
sales,
the
orders
and
the
registers
they
create
their
own
hierarchy
of
management.
We
chaperones
simply
show
up
because
they
need
an
adult
on
site.
These
students
are
learning
real
life
skills.
O
O
N
F
Hello,
my
name
is
beckett
hummer
and
I'm
a
proud,
mead
mustang.
I
chose
mead
over
other
magnet
programs
because
I
wanted
to
be
a
mustang.
I
have
great
teachers
who
challenge
me
and
care
about
me,
but
the
reality
is
that
needs
students
are
not
receiving
the
same
high
school
experience
as
others
in
the
county.
We
are
halfway
through
the
third
quarter
of
the
school
year
and
we
have
still
not
returned
to
normal.
There
are
severely
limited
clubs,
no
real
flex
time.
No
pep
rallies,
no
homecoming
dance.
F
The
freshmen
and
sophomores
have
had
minimal
opportunities
to
develop
friendships
and
we
juniors
and
seniors
are
missing
out
on
the
great
memories
of
high
school.
All
of
our
academic,
social
and
emotional
lives
are
suffering
under
the
restrictions
and
limitations
in
place
at
meet.
We've
experienced
we've
expressed
our
disappointment
to
the
administration
that
we
are
not
receiving
the
same
opportunities
as
our
peers
at
other
schools
throughout
the
county.
F
We
have
spoken
about
the
lack
of
clubs
impacting
us,
both
socially
and
academically,
as
we
compete
with
other
students
for
scholarships
and
college
acceptances
and
the
lack
of
flex
time
that
negatively
impacts
our
academic
progress.
We
have
shared
that
we
feel
constantly
punished
rather
than
recognized
for
our
achievements.
Our
complaints
include
locked
bathrooms
and
constant
scolding
over
dress
code
violations
that
have
nothing
that
do
nothing
but
make
us
feel
disrespected.
Among
other
things,
we
have
left
these
conversations
feeling
frustrated
with
the
lack
of
response
and
apparent
unwillingness
to
listen.
F
Students
are
encouraged
to
advocate
for
themselves,
yet
nothing
we
say
seems
to
be
taken
seriously
or
results
in
change.
We
will
all
want
every
student
to
receive
the
resources
they
need.
However,
as
dr
rivers
himself
has
said,
more
than
95
of
the
students
at
need
are
doing
what
they
should.
Yet
our
entire
high
school
experience
is
being
curtailed
because
of
the
actions
and
needs
of
a
few.
It
is
unfair
for
the
vast
majority
of
students
to
be
punished
by
the
administration's
inability
to
maintain
a
safe
and
orderly
environment.
F
Students
are
requesting
an
in-person
meeting
with
dr
rivers,
dr
kennedy
and
ms
jackson,
to
discuss
the
inequity
of
opportunities
at
need.
We
want
concrete
dates
and
plans
for
when
we'll
have
a
high
school
experience
on
par
with
our
peers
at
other
schools.
We
want
to
salvage
a
portion
of
this
school
year,
so
we
don't
lose
even
more.
We
want
equality
and
equity
for
our
school.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
We
will
now
move
on
to
item
4.04
4.01,
a
presentation
on
the
curriculum
for
agricultural
science,
education.
The
case
program.
P
So,
thank
you
very
much.
As
always,
we
are
delighted
to
share
information
with
you
about
the
incredible
our
students.
The
programs
are
involved
in
clubs
and
activities
and
athletics
whatever
it
might
be.
P
Today,
we'd
like
to
we're
gonna,
spend
some
time
bringing
you
some
information
that
we've
not
shared
in
in
recent
times,
as
this
program
has
been
built
and
that's
our
case
agricultural
program,
we've
got
both
students
and
staff
here
to
share
some
of
their
direct
experiences,
as
well
as
some
of
our
central
office
team
that
helps
plan
and
support
the
school
as
well
as
the
wonderful
principal
of
southern
high
school.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
assistant
superintendent,
for
curriculum
instruction
to
introduce
herself
and
the
team.
Thank
you.
Q
Q
Q
Anne
arundel
county
has
a
rich
history
of
agricultural
farming,
since
the
creation
of
the
county
in
1650
farming
has
been
a
cornerstone
industry,
starting
with
tobacco
and
evolving
into
a
mix
of
grains,
vegetables
and
plant
nurseries.
Today,
anne
arundel
county
has
approximately
390
registered
farms
producing
a
range
of
agricultural
goods.
Certainly,
farming
and
the
diverse
array
of
careers
connected
to
it
can
continue
to
be
career
options
for
our
students.
R
R
The
case
curriculum
is
designed
to
train
students
in
fields
such
as
agricultural
engineering
and
technicians,
conservation,
scientists,
farm
management,
horticulturalists
and
many
others.
We
brought
case
to
anne
arundel
county
in
2014,
allowing
students
to
take
their
four
identified
credits
to
graduate
from
high
school
with
a
career
and
technical
education
completed
program
on
their
transcripts.
R
R
Anne
arundel
county
public
schools
currently
offers
two
different
case
pathways:
animal
science
and
plant
science.
In
the
23-24
school
year
we
will
add
case
natural
resources
pathway
to
the
center
of
applied
technology
north
each
of
these
pathways
starts
with
an
introduction
to
agricultural
agricultural,
food
and
natural
resources
and
ends
with
the
capstone
research
project
case
develops
their
courses
in
coordination
with
the
agricultural
community
and
educators
from
around
the
country,
using
their
input
to
keep
the
agriculture
industry
relevant
and
engaging
for
students.
R
All
of
these
skills
are
preparing
them
for
careers.
In
an
expansive
world
of
agriculture,
some
students
will
go
on
to
seek
a
post-secondary
education
building
on
the
foundational
knowledge
gained
in
their
case
classrooms.
Some
will
take.
Some
will
continue
to
use
what
they've
learned
on
their
own
family
farm,
while
others
will
take
their
experience
directly
into
the
local
or
regional
workforce.
Q
Anne
arundel
county
public
schools
prides
itself
on
preparing
students
to
whatever
comes
after
high
school.
The
case
program
is
no
different
case
on
a
national
level
has
established
articulation
agreements
with
colleges
and
universities
across
the
country
who
recognize
the
value
of
education.
These
students
are
receiving
students
who
pass
the
course
or
courses
and
their
end.
Of
course,
assessments
are
eligible
to
earn
anywhere
from
three
to
fifteen
credits
with
associated
post-secondary
schools.
R
For
each
course,
in
the
case
program,
teachers
benefit
a
two-week
specialized
training
that
prepares
them
to
deliver
an
engaging
curriculum.
These
trainings
are
hosted
at
universities
across
the
country
or
completed
virtually

provides
access
to
specific
curricular
material
for
both
instruction
and
assessment
upon
completion,
a
teacher
who
teaches
a
complete
case
pathway.
Four
different
courses
will
dedicate
at
least
eight
weeks
to
training
during
their
summers.
R
Additionally,
aacps
has
provided
collaborative
planning
opportunities
for
our
three
case
teachers
to
work
together.
All
three
teachers
came
together
for
a
full
day
of
collaborative
planning
at
the
phoenix
academy
near
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
that
focused
on
sharing
best
practices
and
collaborating
on
engaging
projects
for
students.
We
have
encouraged
the
use
of
virtual
meetings
to
continue
their
collaboration
throughout
the
school
year.
R
I
would
like
to
recognize
dr
staci
echols
case
teacher
at
southern
high
school
sean
wingard
case
teacher
at
the
phoenix
academy,
sarah
skinner
teacher,
at
the
center
of
applied
technology
north.
Additionally,
I
would
like
to
recognize
the
maryland
ag
ed
foundation,
a
key
partner
in
the
state
for
delivering
agricultural
education
curriculum.
They
have
provided
curricular,
supports
and
opportunities
for
experiences
outside
the
classroom
for
our
students.
R
Tonight
we
have
with
us
from
southern
high
school,
miss
angie,
hopkins
principal
southern
high
school
and
dr
staci
eckles
case
teacher
and
technology
and
engineering
department
chair
who
will
speak
specifically
about
the
amazing
things
happening
in
the
case
program
at
southern
high
school.
Ms
angie
hopkins
will
now
tell
you
more
about
the
evolution
of
case
at
her
school.
S
When
we
first
started
offering
the
case
courses,
the
teacher
turnover
that
we've
had
experience
has
stymied
the
expected
growth
of
the
program,
but
now
that
we
have
been
most
fortunate
to
bring
dr
echols
on
board,
the
program
continues
to
grow,
with
potentially
over
30
new
students
entering
the
case
pathway.
Next
year,
dr
eckles
has
been
at
southern
high
school
since
2018
and
has
served
as
the
agricultural
science
league
teacher
and
now
department
chair
for
technology
education.
S
T
Good
evening
my
name
is
dr
staci
eckles,
and
I
have
the
privilege
of
being
the
case
teacher
at
southern
high
school
in
our
school.
We
have
plant
and
animal
pathways.
The
case
curriculum
engages
students
both
in
and
outside
of
traditional
classroom
environment.
Our
classroom
for
one
day
could
be
the
lab,
the
greenhouse,
a
nearby
farm
or
any
setting
that
allows
us
to
make
connections
with
agricultural
education.
T
Our
students
dive
deep
into
content
related
to
natural
and
social
sciences
such
as
environmental
science,
agribusiness,
natural
resources,
aquaculture,
food
science
and
safety,
animal
plant
sciences,
entrepreneurship
and
many
other
areas,
and
many
other
areas
ag
education
focuses
on
preparing
future
generations
for
the
challenges
of
feeding
a
growing
population.
It
is
more
than
planting
and
harvesting.
It
is
a
science.
I
have
worked
hard
to
ensure
that
case
classes
support
a
naturally
inclusive
educational
environment.
T
I
want
all
students
to
know
that
they
can
have
a
future
in
this
industry,
regardless
of
how
much
or
how
little
they
knew
before
they
stepped
into
my
classroom.
We
scaffold
our
instruction
to
meet
the
needs
of
students
seeking
state
certifications,
entering
the
agricultural
workforce
or
seeking
post-secondary
education.
T
We
build
their
foundation
and
their
confidence
through
hands-on
projects
and
exponential
learning
experiential
learning
this
year
we
have
launched
some
exciting
and
rewarding
projects.
These
include
our
school
garden
where
students
grow,
produce
and
sell
at
the
local
farmers
market
hatch
and
raise
chickens
which
will
be
donated
to
our
local
food
bank
and
we
run
a
fundraiser
selling,
wreaths
and
trees
at
christmas
time.
T
Additionally,
through
collaborative
planning
with
our
administration,
we
planned
a
week
of
recognizing
the
national
ffa
week
and
educating
the
school
and
community
on
the
importance
of
agriculture
and
how
it
relates
to
feeding
our
population.
Lastly,
our
case
program
benefits
from
a
robust
partnership
with
our
future
farmers
of
america
program.
This
career
and
technical
student
organization
or
ctso
extends
the
curriculum
taught
in
the
case
classroom
and
adds
components
of
leadership
and
community
citizenship.
U
And
we
are
excited
to
have
the
opportunity
to
share
with
you
more
about
southern
high
school's
ffa
organization.
The
official
name
of
the
organization
is
the
national
ffa
organization.
The
letters
ffa
stand
for
future
farmers
of
america.
These
letters
are
a
part
of
our
history
and
our
heritage.
That
will
never
change,
but
ffa
is
not
just
for
students
who
want
to
be
production.
Farmers
we're
the
future
biologists
future
chemists,
future
veterinarians,
future
engineers
and
future
entrepreneurs
of
america.
V
V
Last
year,
our
food
science
team
placed
13th
nationally
and
our
agricultural
mechanics
team
placed
bronze.
Our
chapter
had
an
economic
impact
totally
locally
and
nationally
raising
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
2021
alone,
including
over
fifty
six
thousand
dollars
in
livestock
projects.
We
have
also
been
the
recipient
of
two
national
ffa
grants,
totaling
nine
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
to
exercise
our
leadership
skills.
We
actively
promote
agricultural
education
in
our
community,
raising
awareness
of
the
possibilities
within
anne
arundel,
county
public
schools.
T
We
benefit
from
a
strong
relationship
with
our
community.
Our
students
worked
on
a
national
ffa
living
to
serve
grant
of
4
500,
which
allowed
us
to
do
landscape
projects
at
the
anne
arundel
county
fairgrounds.
Last
year,
and
most
recently,
we
worked
with
our
ffa
alumni
and
homestead
gardens
to
raise
over
41
500
in
relief
for
kentucky
tornado
victims
to
help
build
this
program.
I
have
started
recruiting
from
southern
middle
school,
conducting
visits
to
classes
reaching
out
to
our
local
4-h
clubs
and
attending
8th
grade
scheduling,
nights
and
9th
grade
orientation
evenings.
R
R
The
plant
and
animal
science
case
programs
at
the
phoenix
academy
were
established
at
the
same
time
as
southern
high
school,
while
teacher
turnover
has
similarly
affected
growth.
They
have
found
a
superstar
teacher
in
mr
shawn
wingard.
The
students
at
phoenix
are
drawn
to
his
program
for
the
engaging
class
activities
and
ability
to
complete
hands-on
learning.
R
Mr
wingard's
students
are
currently
working
on
projects
like
supplying
arlington
echo
with
the
native
maryland
plants
for
their
butterfly
garden,
using
hydroponics
and
aquaponics
systems
to
grow
fruit,
vegetables
and
leafy
greens,
and
then
supplying
that
food
to
the
school's
culinary
arts
program.
There
are
ongoing
plans
for
program,
expansion
and
improvement
in
the
22-23
school
year.
The
program
intends
to
host
the
first
annual
phoenix
academy,
fall
fish
feast
using
both
tilapia
and
produce.
The
students
have
grown
as
well
as
hosting
their
first
annual
spring
plant
cell.
R
R
The
greenhouses
at
the
center
of
applied
technology
north
are
always
humming
with
activity
and
growing.
Some
kind
of
tasty
and
nutritious
food
students
can
be
found
tending
their
plants
in
the
greenhouse,
raising
their
chickens,
conducting
some
scientific
soil
analysis
or
learning
about
environmental
impacts
of
fertilizer.
R
R
Additionally,
the
program
at
cat
north
is
highly
collaborative
in
its
partnerships.
Working
alongside
the
culinary
arts
and
masonry
programs,
students
will
use
produce
grown
in
the
greenhouses
and
take
it
to
the
culinary
program
where
they
will
learn
how
to
incorporate
them
into
lit
into
delicious
recipes.
R
They
have
also
collaborated
with
the
masonry
program
to
identify
some
beautification
projects
for
the
cat
north
campus.
We
look
forward
to
their
continued
transition
to
a
case
program
and
all
the
opportunities
it
will
bring
for
our
students
in
all
three
schools.
Agricultural
education
is
enriching
students,
classroom
experiences.
They
are
engaging
in
experiential
learning
at
its
finest.
We
are
proud
of
what
the
students
accomplish
with
us
and
how
they
are
prepared
for
whatever
their
next
steps
in
life
may
be.
Q
C
D
Thank
you
before
I
start
with
questions
and
comments.
I
I
feel
compelled
to
say
a
couple
thank
yous,
dr
mcmahon
and
dr
alado.
Thank
you
very
much
for
listening
to
to
me
and
my
request
to
get
us
get
the
board
information
as
well
as
your
continued
support
of
the
programs
themselves
and
miss
batten
and
dr
echols
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
I
could
just
keep
on
going.
Thank
you
guys
so
very
much.
D
D
Summer,
which
is
where
that
began-
and
I
admittedly
you
know,
was
like
please,
please
come
with
me,
because
why?
Because
this
is
a
program,
a
lot
of
people
do
not
know
about
you
know,
but
I
want
to
thank
dr
tobin,
of
course,
for
helping
me
get
this
on
the
agenda,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
there's
many
partners
in
our
community
that
have
contributed
over
the
years
to
it
and
contribute
to
the
support
of
these
students.
D
I
have
felt
that
way
and
supported
those
initiatives
and
those
little
baby
steps
over
the
years
as
I
have
been
able
to
and
feel
that,
I'm
now
even
more
in
a
better
position
to
to
support
you
and
make
sure
it's
done
well,
so
that
we
can
have
many
years
of
success
and
not
and
and
put
those
years
of
stutter
behind
us,
because
I
think
we
learned
a
lot
and
it
allowed
us
to
really
grow.
I
do
have
a
specific
question.
Miss
batten.
D
You
guys
had
mentioned
your
msde
application
and
the
word
case
and
magnet
was
mentioned.
It
was
mentioned
during
cat
north
program,
southern
and
phoenix
have
case,
but
not
the
magnet
status.
Q
Absolutely
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
that
so
cat
north,
as
you
know,
serves
six
seven
other
high
schools,
making
it
a
magnet
site.
So
our
application
to
msde
is
to
apply
and
receive
approval
for
the
case
program
for
natural
resources,
so
that
the
teacher
then
will
become
certified
in
the
case
curriculum
that
is
part
of
that
program,
and
so
that
was
our
msd
application.
D
So
why
wouldn't
southern
have
a
magnet
application?
Why
would
have
they
not
been
considered
for
magnet.
Q
So
the
current
case
program
at
southern
high
school
certainly
is
open
to
all
students
within
the
southern
feeder.
The
magnet
component
of
that
would
be
something
we
would
have
to
explore
and
certainly
talk
about.
You
know
as
we
move
along.
You
made
the
comment
about
baby
steps.
We're
certainly
looking
at
growing
our
program
at
southern
high
school
and
dr
eckles
and
miss
hopkins
has
been
very
instrumental
in
the
recruitment
efforts
in
order
to
increase
our
enrollment.
There.
D
So
what
would
what
limit
southern
from
being
a
magnet
location,
because
we
have
it
as
far
up
north
as
glen
burnie
for
the
entire
county?
And
so,
although
southern
is
south,
it's
actually
the
high
school
is,
is
the
least
south
of
our
southern
feeder.
Just
about
so,
could
you
explain
that
a
little
further.
Q
So
I
will
start
and
then
I'm
certainly
I'm
going
to
invite
dr
mcmahon
to
join
us
as
far
as
the
magnet
component.
That
requires
other
components
that
we
have
to
consider
with
certainly
transportation,
as
mentioned
earlier
with
the
buses,
the
the
budget
implications
that
we
certainly
could
take
a
look
at
in
future
budget
enhancements
and
requirements.
So
that's
something
certainly
to
be
explored
down
the
road
in
future
years.
Well,.
D
I
think
that
would
that
that's
kind
of
where
I'd
like
to
be-
and
I
think
all
of
us
hearing
about
that
together,
is
exactly
how
we
do
it,
because
I
know
dr
mcmahon's
been
working
on
this
for
a
while
now
as
well
as
you
guys,
so
I'm
I
look
forward
to
the
share.
Thank
you,
dr.
P
Yeah,
so
the
the
the
magnet
distinction
is
something
at
the
local
level.
So
it's
not
at
the
state
level,
it's
the
local
level
in
determining
the
programs
and
the
schools
that
would
be
part
of,
and
then
the
feeder
patterns
and
those
sorts
of
things.
The
curriculum,
then,
is
something
we
then
go
to
the
state
and
is
managed
through
our
cte
office.
P
We
plan
them
out
over
time,
built
them
over
10
years
to
implement
them
and
incorporated
middle
school
programs
and
connected
some
of
the
elementary
feeder
programs
into
that
build
over
a
10-year
period,
going
from
the
high
schools
to
the
middle
schools
to
the
elementary
schools.
After
we
completed
our
10-year
build
just
prior
to
covid,
we
took
a
break
from
building
any
more
and
adding
any
more
magnet
programs.
P
That
was
a
conscious
decision
that
this
superintendent
made
along
with
our
team,
and
that
was
now
to
settle
in
and
support
the
schools
that
we
had
just
built
because
we
built
magnet
programs
and
signature
programs
at
all
the
high
schools
during
that
same
10-year
build.
So
then
we
took
a
step
back
catch
our
breath
and
let
the
teams
now
support
the
schools
to
make
sure.
Not
only
do
we
build
a
program
but
now
they're
flourishing.
P
We
then
began
the
conversation
about
what's
the
next
step,
and
so
we
have
had
some
sort
of
exploratory
conversations
around.
What
might
be
some
of
the
next
magnet
programs
that
we
would
add
to
our
repertoire
to
our
programs
of
choice
here
in
anne
arundel
county
coveted
hit,
and
we
stopped
those
conversations
for
all
the
obvious
reasons.
P
So
as
we
emerge
from
kogan
and
I
hope
in
the
coming
years,
it
won't
be
this
superintendent
that
will
do
it,
but
I
hope
in
coming
years
that
your
new
superintendent
and
this
team
will
look
for.
We
continue
to
be
forward
thinking
and
not
looking
to
add
magnet
programs
one
at
a
time.
You
should
be
adding
magnet
programs
as
part
of
a
group
as
part
of
a
cluster,
and
that's
very
well
thought
out
and
planned.
P
P
There's
been
talk
among
you
and
some
of
your
colleagues
over
time
about
maybe
adding
a
magnet
program
in
in
teacher
education
and
growing
our
own
or
possibly
where
some
of
our
schools
are
flourishing,
like
the
ag
program
in
computer
science,
which
is
clearly
an
industry,
that's
a
big
deal
here
in
anne
arundel
county.
So
I
use
those
as
examples
that,
instead
of
looking
to
add
magnet
programs
as
one-offs
that
we
really
think
systemically
systematically
about
and
engaging
the
public
about,
what
do
the
students
want?
P
How
can
the
community
support
that
really
well
through
internships
to
externships
for
the
staff
through
apprenticeship
programs
now
part
of
the
kerwin
building
the
blueprint?
We
have
to
think
about
that
as
well,
that
I
hope
into
the
future.
That's
where
the
program
goes.
Hi.
W
It
was
perfect,
that's
exactly
exactly
the
plan
and-
and
I
can
only
say
that
earlier
it
was
mentioned
sustainability
and
that's
a
perfect
word
for
our
magnet
programs.
We
have
stood
them
up
and
now
we
need
to
tend
to
them
and
get
them
to
be
sustainable
into
the
future,
as
we
think
about
what
to
lift
next.
C
Thank
you.
We
have
a
lot
of
lights
here,
so
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
ms
sean.
E
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
wonderful
presentation.
I
personally
didn't
know
much
about
the
program
being
camped
out
in
district
5,
which
is
nowhere
near
southern
high
school.
Nor
has
a
case
program
that
I'm
aware
of,
I
don't
think
so,
especially
after
this
presentation,
phoenix
academy
and
any
wall
and
then
cat
north.
E
I'm
delighted
to
hear
more
about
it
from
you
all
and
something
I'm
definitely
willing
to
support
and
and
as
a
board
member,
in
whatever
way,
is
appropriate
to
to
see
this
program
grow
and
and
flourish,
and
miss
crocodile
basically
asked
my
question
for
me.
So
I
don't
think
I
have
a
question
it
was
about.
E
You
know
the
the
magnet
application
and
then
versus
the
the
school
itself,
and-
and
I
also
appreciated
the
explanation
about
you
know,
what's
what's
next
and
you
know
one
thing
that
wasn't
mentioned
also,
is
you
know
junior
rotc
two
is
a
magnet
and
that's
been
that's
been
tossed
around
a
bunch
too
over
the
years,
and
so
it
sounds
like
there's
just
so
many
wonderful
opportunities
for
us
to
continue
to
support
our
students,
and
I
I'm
personally
an
environmentalist.
E
I
try
to
live
as
green
as
I
can
and,
and
I
love
what
you
all
are
doing,
and
so
anyway
I
can.
I
can
support
just
you
know.
Let
me
know
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
C
L
C
L
Ellis,
thank
you,
oh
goodness,
so
much
I'd
like
to
say,
first
of
all,
miss
corcodel.
Thank
you
for
pushing
to
bring
this
or
for
suggesting
to
bring
this
here,
and
especially
thank
you
for
in
inviting
me
to
the
ffa
event.
I
am
a
better
person
from
that
one
evening
of
my
life,
and
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
welcoming
me.
I
learned
so
much.
I
grew
up
a
horse
girl
yeah.
L
My
dearly
beloved
horse
passed
away
just
a
few
years
ago,
but
I
you
know,
I
was
not
involved
in
the
sort
of
agricultural
food
side
of
of
farming,
but
but
I
learned
so
much
in
one
evening
from
all
of
you,
and
I
really
really
appreciate
that
and
one
of
the
most
important
things
I
learned
and
I'm
bad
with
numbers
and
memory,
but
was
the
numbers
that
I
was
given
that
evening
about
our
economy
and
and
and
the
size
of
of
the
agriculture
industry.
L
That
my
first
question
is:
what
do
we
have
in
our
curriculum
to
to
give
kids
throughout
the
school
system
that
sort
of
picture
an
idea?
I
know
we
have
some
great
things
going
on
in
various
schools.
I
mean
mr
rizviki
has
that
amazing
farm
going
up
going
on
up
at
north
county,
but
what
do
we
have
in
our
curriculum
that
really
teaches
kids
about
the
importance
and
the
size
of
of
this
industry?.
Q
Q
We
have-
and
you
know
we
certainly
as
dr
mc
dr
olato
mentioned.
You
know
through
our
signature
programs,
where
opportunities
fit
we
you
know
we
do
certainly
make
those
connections
at
the
elementary
level.
We
certainly
we're
appropriate
incorporated
into
perhaps
our
science
and
social
studies,
but
you
know
I'd
have
to
look
that
up
again.
L
No
need
for
an
immediate
response,
but
I
would
just
really
just
like
parents
are
rightfully
asking
for
more
comprehensive
financial
literacy.
I
believe
this.
This
topic
is
crucial
to
our
future,
and
so
I
mean
it
can
certainly
be
tied
to
health,
but
it's
also
tied
to
economy,
and
I
would
just
love
to
see
that
education
so
back
to
case.
So
my
questions
were
around
developing
a
magnet,
and
you
know
I've
spoken
about
our
magnets
a
few
times.
L
I
I
have
a
somewhat
unpopular
opinion
that
I
I
believe
we
have
such
a
demand
for
stem
and
we
already
have
so
many
stem
magnets
that
that
to
me
indicates
maybe
a
need
for
a
different
approach
to
stem
education,
not
necessarily
magnets.
Perhaps
you
know
enhancing
what
we
offer
at
each
of
our
high
schools
in
terms
of
stem
and
maybe
high
schools
sharing
teachers
for
the
more
specialized
classes,
opening
the
door
for,
because
to
me,
these
magnets
are
really
more
specialized.
L
Like
we
have
our
performing
arts,
we
have
ib,
we
have
what's
it
the
biomedical.
L
One
I'm
trying
to
think
of,
and
so
now
I've
taken
down
a
list
of
those
that
have
been
mentioned
tonight,
and
these
are
the
types
of
things
that
I
really
truly
believe
weren't
magnets,
and
certainly
I
I
I
will
not
only
vote
for
a
magnet.
I
will-
and
you
know,
I'm
far
removed
from
the
districts
well,
not
true,
but
from
the
southern
part
of
district
seven,
but
anyway
I
will
advocate
for
you.
I
will
do
whatever
I
can
to
help
in
this
in
this
process.
L
I
really
want
to
see
this
take
again,
I
being
a
horsey
girl.
I
can
appreciate
that
you
know
our
our
city,
kids
know
so
little
about
this
and
I'm
sure
some
of
them
once
they
did
learn
about
it,
would
just
be
so
excited
to
be
able
to
get
their
hands
dirty
and
do
these
kinds
of
things.
So
anyway,
huge
advocate-
and
I
do
want
to
continue
this
discussion.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
miss
frank.
X
There's
a
whole
series
that
I've
seen
on
urban
farming
and
and
growing
in
really
tiny
little
spots
that
I
think
you're
kind
of
dovetailed
that
you're
saying
so.
Thank
you
so
so
much
for
the
presentation
tonight.
It
was
awesome
and
miss
arnold
and
mr
sherfield.
I
just
want
you
to
know,
as
as
you
were
speaking,
a
lot
of
the
folks
sitting.
X
Next
to
you
were
just
so
clearly
very
proud
and
as
you
were,
as
you
were
talking
about
your
accomplishments
and
your
accolades,
I
knew
the
gentleman
sitting
next
to
you
was
just
smiling
and-
and
they
were
clearly
so
excited
to
to
be
in
this
process
with
you,
so
I'm
so
thankful
to
see
it
and
to
be
able
to
see
all
your
faces
as
this
is
happening.
It's
really
very
special,
and
I
know
you
guys
are
over
here.
You
know
peeking
around
the
podium
too.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that.
X
I
I
echo
my
support.
I
I
would
love
to
see
this
grow.
I
would
love
to
see
this
in
in
not
just
southern
high
school
pasadena
has
hancock's
resolution.
I
know
some
chesapeake
folks
would
love
to
have
this,
and-
and
I
agree
I
think-
there's
certainly
you
know
some
exposure
that
people
would
benefit
from
in
all
districts.
X
T
So
we
are
currently
incubating
eggs
in
our
classroom.
Okay,
they
will
hatch
the
end
of
march.
The
chickens
will
then
be
raised
in
the
classroom
for
another
couple
weeks
before
they're
moved
to
the
greenhouse
chicken
coop
and
then
we'll
raise
them
till
finishing
weight,
and
then
they
will
be
processed
for
the
food
bank.
S
T
X
Well,
I
appreciate
that,
and-
and
just
so
you
know,
dr
eckles-
we
have
gotten
so
many
community
feedback
from
this
we've
gotten
so
much
public
comment
and
your
name
was
mentioned
so
many
times
that
I
feel
like.
I
know
you,
so
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you
clearly
are
doing
in
this.
Thank
you
and
I'll,
just
I'll
just
stop
with
the
chicken
and
egg
questions.
X
But
it
does
actually
lead
into
another
question
that
I
had
so
you
talk
about
you're
having
a
fish
fry
and
you
talk
about
the
plants
that
have
been
donated.
If
somebody
in
the
community
is
like,
I
love
this
program.
I
want
to
support
it.
Where
can
I
find
the
stuff
that
you
guys
are
producing?
Where
could
you
go
to
find
this?
I
know
you
mentioned
homestead
gardens,
but
but
how
would
you
know
where
to
find
it
so.
T
As
we
are
raising
produce
out
of
our
school
garden,
it
will
be
for
sale
on
sundays
at
the
anne
arundel
county
farmers
market.
I
am
a
small
business
owner
myself
with
my
husband.
We
raise
mushrooms,
and
so
my
husband
and
I
have
incorporated
southern
ffa's
booth
space
into
our
business
space
so
that
when
there
is
product
available,
we
share
booth
space.
X
Maybe
maybe
I'll
do
it?
Okay,
that
was.
That
was
the
only
question
I
had
so
you
do
the
you
do
the
farmer's
market,
where,
like,
if
you
go
to
homestead
gardens,
where
could
you
find
so.
V
T
Owner
of
homestead
gardens,
brian
riddle
supports
our
program
phenomenally
and
anything
I
need.
I
just
need
to.
A
T
So
it
truly
is
a
wonderful
relationship
with
homestead
gardens.
X
That's
great
and
then
so
the
like
the
fish
fry
that
you
were
discussing.
Where
could
somebody
from
the
community?
Where
could
they
go
and
partake
of
that
if
they
were
interested
well.
R
I
believe
that
the
fish
fry
is
an
in-house
product
for
phoenix
the
phoenix
academy.
It's
not
open
to
the
public
as
of
yet.
But
I
know
that
mr
wingard
is
working
on
many
projects
with
local
community
activist
groups
to
try
and
bring
some
of
the
things
that
the
students
produce
out
into
the
community
right
now.
R
They
currently
support
arts
and
echo,
and
a
lot
of
the
revitalizing
efforts
they
produce
plants
for
them
and
similarly,
cad
north
has
similar
connections
with
the
community
and
businesses
where
they
do
a
lot
of
work
with
bringing
in
business
partners
to
talk
to
the
students
and
then
taking
the
students
out
to
their
businesses,
the
specific
specific
of
which
I
don't
have
all
of
those
details,
because
it's
a
long
list
of
programs
to
keep
track
of.
R
But
dr
echols
is
right
that
having
those
business
partners
is
a
vital
component
of
all
of
our
cte
programs
and
she's.
A
perfect
example
of
how
we
have
maximized
that
effort
and
education
for
our
students.
X
N
Thank
you,
president
tobin.
I
have
a
few
comments
and
a
couple
questions
and
I
have
to
say
mr
weirs
bicky
was
mentioned.
If
you
know
mr
wiersbecky
and
hope
many
of
you
do
he's
one
of
our
young
teachers
at
north
county
and
I
was
doing
a
direct
reading
activity
some
years
ago
in
a
french
three
class
and
it
happened
to
be
about
worms
and
their
use
in
agriculture.
N
N
It's
not
something.
He
teaches
that's
something
that
he
does
for
the
kids
at
north
county,
high
school
and
miss
frank,
talked
about
that.
There's
a
you
can
make
a
case
for
case
in
every
cluster,
and
I
think
that
I
think
you
absolutely
can
make
a
case
for
case
a
little
bit
of
history.
So
I
learned
a
little
bit
today
didn't
know
that
there
were
390
farms.
N
I
didn't
know
that,
but
what
I
did
know
because
I
taught
at
southern
middle
for
two
years.
My
first
two
years,
I
was
a
southerner.
What
I
did
know
that
as
I
drove
from
baltimore
highlands
all
the
way
down
to
southern
every
day
I
drove
by
mostly
tobacco,
which,
thank
goodness,
is
no
longer
the
case
and
there's
so
many
other
things
that
have
happened.
This
is
the
case
is
truly
a
a
project-based
learning
and
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you.
N
The
success
of
the
program
is
clearly
based
upon
the
great
teachers,
students
and
families
that
we
have,
and
that's
that's
true
of
everyone,
so
I
did
have
a
couple
questions.
You
mentioned
some
connections
with
some
colleges.
N
I
didn't
hear
anne
arundel
community
and
I
was
wondering,
if
there's
a
possibility
for
that,
because
that
just
seems
like
it
would
be
a
natural
and
the
second
one
is.
How
would
how
positioned
are
we
really
because
I
too
would
like
to
see
this
program
grow?
How
positioned
are
we
in
terms
of
having
case-ready
teachers,
and
I
have
one
final
comment
that
I
will
make
after?
If
I
get
an
answer
about
that,
maybe
dr
echo.
T
On
the
case,
writing
teachers-
yes
portion.
There
are
many
universities
across
this
country
that
are
training
agricultural
students,
pre-service
teachers
in
the
case
program,
so
they
are
coming
out
of
college
pre-certified.
T
That
list
is
available
on
the
national
association
of
ag
educators
website
and
those
students.
Pretty
much
have
a
job
lined
up
when
they're
done
so
it
would
be
a
recruitment
effort
if
we
were
to
add
additional
case
teachers.
The
state
of
maryland
has
several
high
school
graduates
that
are
currently
in
programs
to
become
agricultural
educators.
T
N
Okay,
thank
you.
Well,
the
success
of
this
program
is
definitely
going
to
be
based
upon
an
awareness,
and
so
there
is
an
increased
awareness.
Hopefully
this
will
increase
the
awareness
about
this
marvelous
program.
I
clearly
would
love
to
be
invited
to
the
fish
fry.
A
N
Y
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
first
just
like
well,
I'm
not
going
to
clap,
because
the
mic
is
right
here,
but
if
I
could
clap,
I
would
say
giving
all
of
you
a
round
of
applause.
This
was
a
beautiful
presentation
and
I
knew
of
southern's
ffa
club
not
from
visiting
southern,
not
from
just
being
on
the
board,
but
actually
hearing
from
my
friends
across
the
country
who
compete
in
ffa
and
they
know
southern
and
from
that
they
know
acps.
Y
And
so
you
all
are
a
wonderful
treasure
not
only
to
south
county
as
miss
corcodell
by
her
smile
is
showing,
but
to
our
entire
school
system
through
everything
that
you
learn
and
do
and
you're
representing
us
really
well.
So
for
that
I
would
just
say
I'm
in
complete
support
of
the
case
and
improving
this
program,
and
I
actually
was
one
of
the
colleagues
that
dr
alata
referred
to
when
he
said
about
making
this
a
magnet
program.
Y
Y
I
don't
live
in
the
southern
cluster,
but
I
am
interested
in
food
science.
I
am
interested
in
stuff
like
ffa.
I
am
interested
in
what
you
all
have
done
so
well,
but
I
don't
go
to
a
school
that
has
these
types
of
opportunities
or
I'm
not
in
cat
north.
What
would
be
your
advice?
This
is
questions
all
of
you,
but
this
is
really
a
question
of
students.
U
My
answer
to
you
and
to
those
students
is
to
advocate
for
ag
education
and
a
magnet
program,
because
that
is
what
we
so
obviously
need.
I
can
name
students
off
the
top
of
my
head.
I
won't
I.
N
U
U
I
can
name
a
student
from
prodneck.
I
can
name
students
from
savannah
park.
I
can
name
students
from
south
river.
I
can
name
students
out
of
this
county
who
are
having
similar
issues
in
their
own
home
counties
same
with
same
issue
in
other
states,
but
I
can
name
students
here
and
I
can
give
a
list
of
students
here
and
we
can
show
emails
and
text
messages
from
students
within
our
county
who
want
to
come
to
our
school
because
they
want
to
be
in
our
program.
V
I
agree
very
much
with
ethan
that,
as
of
now,
there
is
a
very
large
body
of
kids
who
would
be
interested
in
being
part
of
the
case
program,
but
in
terms
of
getting
more
kids
interested
in
it
that
are
not
currently
aware
of
the
program.
A
lot
of
it
has
been
word
of
mouth.
For
me,
joining
ffa
and
getting
involved
in
these
classes
was
word
of
mouth
and
a
lot
of
us,
especially
now
with
the
digital
presence.
V
We
have
no
kids
from
other
parts
of
the
county
and
other
parts
of
the
area
that
are
not
part
of
the
southern
cluster
are
not
as
close
with
that
group
and
reaching
out
to
other
people
and
making
them
aware
of
the
program
and
telling
them
to
go
speak
to
their
friends.
The
people
that
they
know
to
bring
them
in
is
a
very
large
part
of
getting
a
body
involved
in
the
case
program.
Y
Well,
thank
you
all
for
what
you've
done.
I
didn't
know
about
this
until
this
year,
when
I
talked
to
my
friends
about
ffa,
and
so
maybe
in
a
different
world
where
boomi
goes
to
southern
high
school
she'd
be
doing
exactly
this,
because
this
sounds
incredible,
and
I
hope
that,
of
course,
I
agree
with
dr
a
lot
of
sentiment.
We
gotta
kind
of
figure
out
how
to
really
ride
this
bike
that
we
have
of
magnet
programs
before
we
start
adding
new
ones.
Y
I
really
hope
that
in
the
very
very
close
future
we
can
have
exactly
what
you've
talked
about
more
ag
ed
across
our
county
and
become
even
a
bigger
powerhouse
than
you
all
have
created
us
across
the
nation
when
it
comes
to
this
entire
industry.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
all
the
work
you
have
done,
but
mostly
the
students,
because
you
guys
are
biased
so.
AA
This
is
actually
a
full
circle,
so
I
went
to
high
school
in
melville
alabama
and
I
got
a
scholarship,
which
is
why
I
joined
the
army
to
go
to
university
alabama
to
be
an
agricultural
specialist,
and
I
was
raised
on
a
farm
and
I
asked
them.
You
don't
seriously
think
I'm
gonna
go
to
school
for
four
years
to.
AA
AA
So
now
I
am
a
big
climate
nut,
I'm
a
big
plant
advocate
and
with
the
entire
world
going
toward
plant-based
food
and
everything
else
you
all
have
grown
a
talent
that
I
suspect
that
next
year,
they'll
be
picking
it
out
if
dr
alado
or
his
predecessor
does
not
or
his
success
or
does
not
create
this
into
a
magnet
program
because
it's
growing
it's
a
big
growing
business.
So
that
was
the
second
part.
AA
The
third
question
I
had-
and
I
did
not
find
it
in
my
notes-
and
I
still
can't
find
it
is-
you
said
in
2023
and
2024
you're-
adding
additional
curriculum.
Can
you
just
expound
on
that
just
a
tad
bit
for
me?
Yes,.
R
Ma'am
so
case
has
four
different
program
offerings.
We
currently
run
two
of
them
in
the
county
at
the
same
programs
at
southern
and
phoenix.
The
natural
resources
pathway
is
the
one
we
are
adding
to
the
center
of
applied
technology
north
because
it
closely
aligns
with
the
program
it's
replacing,
which
is
environmental
resource
management.
The
teacher
there
is
transitioning
to
a
case
program,
she's,
been
to
case
training
already
and
will
hopefully
finish
up
at
the
end
of
next
summer.
C
D
So
I
I
I
thought
it
may
be
when
miss
ellis
and
I
were-
and
on
numerous
occasions
I
wouldn't
know
which
story
to
pick
first
of
what
I've
heard
from
our
students.
That
is
inspirational.
D
D
You
don't
have
to
go
too
into
the
educational,
but
just
that
story
of
of
connectivity,
because
you
know
we
hear
from
so
many
other
career
paths
about
this
happening
and
that
happening
and
you
guys
placing
to
be
clear.
These
people
folks
are
placing
bronze
compared
to
the
school
districts
that
do
have
full
magnet
and
fully
enhanced
like
on
steroids,
and
these
guys
are
competing
and
not
just
competing
we're
talking
about
13th
in
the
nation,
winning
bronze
in
some
of
these
specific
activities.
Never
more
a
proud
moment.
V
So
I'm
going
to
be
a
little
bit
biased
with
leaning
on
ffa
for
this
because,
as
we
mentioned,
it
is
very
much
so
part
of
the
case
program
at
southern,
but
being
a
part
of
this
program
has
really
shaped
the
entire
path
of
where
I
plan
on
going
with
my
future
and
with
my
career.
It
has
shaped
the
social
group
that
I
have
and
the
advice
and
the
mentorship
that
I've
gotten
from
dr
echols
has
put
me
on
the
path
of
where
I
want
to
go
in
my
career.
V
V
I
would
not
have
known
about
without
stacey
eccles
and
this
program
and
the
competition
events
that
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
be
a
part
of
have
taught
me
self-discipline
in
studying
and
learning
content
that
I
would
not
have
known
how
to
do
otherwise
and
has
given
me
so
many
opportunities
and
experiences
to
go
out
and
to
meet
people
such
as
right.
Now.
U
You
ask
for
like
one
story,
or
one
instance
or
something,
but
the
truth
of
it
is,
is
there's
thousands
of
stories
from
multiple
different
trips
and
millions
of
experiences
that
have
all
kind
of
rolled
up
into
this
moment
here.
If
you
guys
look
at
my
disciplinary
record
freshman
year
like
please
don't,
but
it
it
wasn't.
The
greatest
I
didn't
know
where
my
future
was
going.
U
U
Through
you
know
we
go,
we
went
to
kentucky
and
raised
so
much
over
40
000
that
we
put
into
a
community
for
people
that
we
didn't
even
know,
but
they
opened
their
homes
and
they
fed
us,
and
that
was
enough,
I
think,
but
three
years
ago.
That
wouldn't
be
me.
I
think
three
years
ago
that
wouldn't
have
been
a
lot
of
the
kids
who
went
on
that
trip.
U
U
That's
something
you
do
when
you're
30.,
you
know
we're
living
these
experiences,
we're
getting
this
education
and
we're
living
lives
that
aren't
like
anything
else.
Our
peers
are
living
and
we're
better
for
it,
and
I
think
that
I
just
wish
everybody
had
that
opportunity
to
grow
in
a
field
that
they
want
to
be
in.
U
One
last
thing:
I'm
sorry,
and
at
the
end
of
the
day
that
doesn't
come
from
just
me
or
an
organization.
It
comes
from
the
leadership
and
the
mentorship
from
dr
eckles
from
miss
hopkins
from
my
parents,
supporting
me
from
the
support
of
parents
of
my
peers
and
from
the
support
of
our
alumni's
parents
and
our
alumni
members
itself
yeah.
I
get
text
messages,
ethan,
we're
so
proud
of
you,
but
it
really
is
them,
and
it
is
you
guys
who
allow
us
to
have
this
opportunity.
So
thank
you
all.
E
Thank
you
for
for
sharing
it.
You
you
both
both
of
you
students
inspire
me.
Thank
you
for
your
sharing
your
story.
I
had
a
question
tough
act
to
follow.
Dang.
E
E
P
E
I'll
find
out
yeah,
because
if
that
you
know
if,
if
that,
if
that's
a
good,
if
that's
just,
if
that
could
be
a
step
towards
and
as
a
way
to
grow
it
back,
then
let's,
let's
look
into
that
like
we
do,
I
think
I
mean
I
think
junior
rotc
is
set
up
that
way
right
now,
where
it's
not
a
magnet,
but
you
can
go
if
you
do
your
transportation,
so
I
guess
I
guess
that's
the
the
next
step,
but
to
ask
the
why
we
can't
do
it
like
that
for
for
for
cases
at
southern
to
start
with
and
see
where
we
have.
E
We
see
a
lot
of
this
room
and
we
forget
how
other
people
you
know
perceive
coming
and
and
speaking
to
us
and
trust
me
when
I
say
the
the
honors
is
ours
to
hear
from
both
of
you.
So
thank
you
for
being
here
and
sharing
your
stories.
C
Okay,
okay!
Well,
this
has
been
a
magnificent
presentation.
Thank
you.
This
is
a
subject
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
I
was
very
grateful
when
miss
corcodell
brought
it
forward
as
a
as.
A
C
Topic-
and
I
think
it's
been
tremendously
valuable
to
all
of
us
to
hear
more-
I
I
knew
about
it.
I
knew
how
fabulous
the
ffa
program
is
at
southern
and
that
there
was
a
case
program.
But
beyond
that
I
didn't
know
a
whole
lot.
I
know
a
little
bit
about
the
phoenix
program
and,
yes,
I
will
be
looking
for
my
invitation
to
the
fish
night.
C
I
think
you
mentioned
expeditionary
learning
as
part
of
the
structure,
and
I
I
do
happen
to
think
this
kind
of
work
is
actually
really
what
project-based
learning
is
supposed
to
be.
I
mean,
in
other
words,.
C
These
aren't
made
up
projects
right.
This
is
what
it
takes
to
make
sure
the
animal
keeps
living
to
make
sure
the
water
is
pure
for
the
plants
to
make
sure
all
of
those
things
and-
and
I
think
it
lines
up
extraordinarily
well
with
my
understanding
of
the
pedagogical
leanings,
of
the
blueprint
in
so
many
ways,
not
just
the
career
and
and
college
readiness,
but
the
the
real
pedagogy
of
it.
C
A
C
That
middle
school
students
really
are
set
up
developmentally
in
many
ways
to
do
so
that
that's
a
question
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
considered
that
if
it's
something
that
would
be
ever
on
the
table,
I
mean
all
of
this-
I
realize
is
hypothetical
at
this
point,
but.
C
And
also
just
a
sort
of
practical
question,
it
was
noted
in
the
presentation
that
you're
looking
at
possibly
30
students
entering
the
case
program
next
year,
so
give
me
a
sense
of
how
many
students
are
in
the
program.
As
of
now.
C
Okay,
so
we're
looking
at
30
now
30
next
year
and
okay,
so
that
gives
that
gives
a
good
sense
of
sort
of
the
numbers
that
we're
looking
at.
But
I
think
that's
that's
terrific,
so
well,
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
you
have
made
our
night.
A
C
I
those
of
us
who
are
parents
can
relate
to,
but
you
should
be
very
proud,
and
all
of
you
should
be
very
proud
if
this
is
a
delight.
This
is
also
heartening
at
a
time
when
there's
some
disheartening
things
going
on
in
the
world
to
see
what
the
future
looks
like.
So
thank
you
all
of
you
and
we're
grateful.
As
mrs
shalham
said,
the
honor
is
ours
and
we're
deeply
grateful
that
you
took
the
time
to
be
with
us
tonight.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you.
A
C
The
the
only
report
I'm
going
to
deliver
as
part
of
the
president's
report
tonight
is
actually
a
report
from
the
the
superintendent
search
committee.
On
behalf
of
ms
frank,
the
chair
and
the
members
ms
dent
ms
schalheim
and
ms
ellis.
AB
C
C
Y
Thank
you,
dr
tobin,
so
we've
met
and
we've
been
working
a
lot
for
this
upcoming
military
student
panel,
and
so
there's
been
a
bit
of
a
change
since
the
last
time.
I
was
able
to
give
a
report.
So
originally
we
stated
that
if
there
was
an
in-person
option,
we
were
going
to
do
it
at
arundel
high
school,
as
it's
kind
of
at
the
epicenter
for
the
county
and
especially
for
those
affiliated
with
the
military,
but
instead
in
order
to
provide
not
only
an
in-person
option
but
a
virtual
option
as
well.
Y
We've
decided
to
host
it
at
the
board
room,
so
this
date
is
still
the
same
april
5th
and
so
far
we
have
chosen
those
who
will
be
in
our
panel
nine
students
from
across
aacps
across
grades
six
through
twelve
and
I'm
very,
very
excited
to
see
what
they
have
to
say.
But
besides
having
the
first
half
of
the
panel
be
about
their
experiences,
we're
also
offering
the
second
half
to
give
a
mic
really
to
those
who
work
in
the
military
community
and
work
with
military
students.
So
that
goes
for
liaisons
those
recruiters.
Y
That
goes
for
a
host
of
others
who
could
be
of
help
not
only
to
the
students
on
our
panel
but
to
military
students
and
their
families
across
aacps,
as
well
so
it'll
be
in
person,
and
it
can
also
be
viewed
online
through
our
youtube
channel
and
I'm
just
really
excited
to
see
how
it
materializes
and
besides
this
we're,
also
going
to
be
using
it
to
promote
the
late,
miss
cw,
entwines
award.
Because
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
students
out
there
who
want
to
go
into
the
military
and
know
it
isn't
cheap.
Y
So
I'm
really
excited
for
the
upcoming
month
of
the
military
child,
especially
the
fifth,
and
I
would
implore
anyone
watching
to
please
tune
in.
C
E
Thank
you
all
right.
Thank
you.
So
the
budget
committee
met
on
monday
march
14th
at
noon.
We
debriefed
on
the
recently
completed
budget
amendment
and
approval
process.
I
appreciate
all
of
the
feedback
as
we
work
to
continually
improve
collaboration
between
the
board
and
the
superintendent
and
staff,
as
well
as
transport,
transparency,
sorry
and
accountability.
E
In
addition,
the
committee
received
an
update
regarding
pending
legislation
that
this
board
hopes
will
improve
the
blueprint
for
maryland's
future,
including
adding
key
school-based
unit
1
staff
to
the
list
of
employees
eligible
for
nbct,
but
obviously
all
that
remains
in
the
error.
E
E
E
We
would
have
preferred
a
phase
out
period
as
opposed
to
a
hard
stop
hope
has
not
let
yet
loss
and
a
lot
of
advocacy
and
legislative
energy
at
all
levels
of
government,
including
this
board
and
mabe,
are
currently
in
place
to
find
another
solution
via
an
extension
or
glide
path,
rather
than
a
hard
stop,
and
I
encourage
members
to
use
their
lobbing
skills,
so
we
can
properly
support
students
this
summer
adequately
planned
for
next
year.
Thank
you.

AC
Good
evening,
president
tobin
vice
president
silkworth
fellow
board
members
and
dr
alato
for
the
record,
my
name
is
tanisha
howard,
the
chair
of
the
citizen
advisory
committee,
otherwise
known
as
the
cac
on
behalf
of
the
cac
body.
I
am
pleased
to
have
the
opportunity
to
share
with
board
members
our
recent
activities
for
the
public,
our
cac
conducts
our
meetings
virtually
on
the
second
monday
of
each
month
from
6
45
to
8
45
pm.
Our
meeting
schedule
is
currently
posted
on
our
aacps
cac
web
page,
which
is
located
under
the
board
tab
on
the
aacps
website.
AC
Our
next
regularly
scheduled
meeting
is
may
9th.
Yes,
we
do
have
a
break
for
spring
break.
Next
month
we
held
our
last
meeting
virtually
this
past
monday
march
14th
for
our
perspectives
and
impact
focus
series.
It's
a
new
initiative
this
year
celebrating
the
legacy
of
the
late
honorable,
candace
c.w
entwine
to
embrace,
embody
and
celebrate
all
of
aacps's
diversity
in
a
more
cohesive
and
empathetic
community.
AC
Furthermore,
the
concept
of
food
deserts
which
identify
17
areas
within
anne
arundel
county
was
examined
coupled
with
terminology
to
distinguish
between
alice,
which
is
the
asset,
limited
income
constrained,
employee
families
and
the
federal
poverty
level.
The
cac
gained
further
understanding
to
of
the
reality
of
a
living
wage
versus
a
poverty
wage
and
a
minimum
wage
on
a
household
with
no
children
to
three
or
more
children.
AC
Their
organization
made
significant
outreach
during
covet
and
continues
today
assisting
the
needs
of
five
times
the
number
of
households
prior
to
the
pandemic.
Some
key
highlights
in
their
efforts
to
promote
nutrition
and
reduce
food
insecurity.
52
percent
of
residents
receiving
their
services
this
past
year
were
seeking
help
for
the
first
time
they
distributed.
7.1
million
dollars
worth
of
food
and
basic
necessities.
AC
AC
They
do
have
commitment
to
have
locations
for
access
within
the
areas
of
the
food
deserts
for
high
impact.
Our
members
learned
of
all
the
efforts
students
in
schools,
did
within
our
clusters
to
amplify
and
support
the
anne
arundel
county
public
schools
and
the
21st
century
education
foundation,
harvest
for
the
hungry
campaign,
which,
in
the
2021-2022.
AC
Campaign
season
raised
92
940
dollars,
specifically
for
our
anne
arundel
county
food
bank,
which
serves
our
community,
so
all
of
our
dollars
and
all
of
our
efforts
went
to
our
community,
and
that
was
just.
I
was
extremely
proud
and
just
shocked
at
the
total
dollars
these
partnerships
and
our
ability
to
lean
into
our
respective
clusters
to
amplify
experiences.
In
others,
journeys
aims
to
collectively
improve
our
school
system,
its
policies
in
our
communities,
foster
awareness
and
encourage
participation
and
overall
empower
our
communities.
AC
AC
AC
We
see
a
future
where
all
our
students
will
graduate
as
caring
global
citizens,
with
tolerance
for
diverse
backgrounds,
experiences
and
experiences
for
a
safe,
healthy,
growing
environment
that
fosters
nurturing
of
the
whole
person.
The
enrichment
of
working
collaboratively
can
allow
us
to
find
innovative
approaches
to
expand
the
aacps
community's
sensitivity
to
issues
of
hate
and
bias.
In
a
move
to
eradicate
incidences
within
the
school
environment,
the
conversation
demonstrated
the
many
perspectives
where
lived,
experiences
do
not
reach
all.
AC
We
must
remain
open
to
hear
and
learn
and
thus
expand
our
understanding
which
challenges
our
comfort
zones
challenges
our
thoughts
and
it
challenges
our
way
of
life.
It
is
not
easy,
and
the
cac
hate
and
by
special
advisory
subcommittee
recognizes
its
work
in
this
area
to
seek
to
elevate
the
issue
in
accompanying
behaviors
of
microaggression
micro
insults
and
micro
invalidations
within
bullet,
with
with
also
bullying
and
intimidation.
AC
Every
student
should
should
be
and
feel
safe
at
school
differences.
Make
us
exceptional.
Sharing.
This
information
tonight
is
not
is
not
to
make
is
to
make
aware
not
to
finger
point.
We
endeavor
to
be
a
devoted
partner
of
the
board
of
education
to
build
solutions
through
our
collaborative
community
and
stakeholder
engagements
to
ensure
policy
impacts.
AC
All
perspectives,
since
the
cac
does
not
meet,
does
not
have
a
regular
meeting
in
march
and
on
behalf
of
our
military
representative,
nelson
villalobos,
we
are
excited
to
see
the
efforts
of
aacps
to
include
and
acknowledge
the
month
of
the
military
child,
which
is
next
month.
It
is
important
to
recognize
these
students
within
our
communities.
We
look
forward
to
all
the
support
to
our
military
families
in
the
future.
AC
The
cac
cluster
members
will
continue
to
share
the
military
resources
to
celebrate
the
month
of
the
military
child
within
our
clusters.
We
encourage
all
military
students
to
be
we.
We
encourage
all
our
military
students
to
be
supported
and
throughout
their
throughout
their
matriculation
and
pleased.
Now
there
is
the
cw
candace
cw
entwine
service
award.
AC
The
cac
also
is
still
working
on
several
subcommittee
work.
The
cac
subcommittees
for
student,
attire
and
personal
appearance
hate
and
buys
ready
to
read
early
literacy
and
wellness
lens
subcommittees
are
continuing
to
under
undertake
the
necessary
work
for
drafting
final
reports
and
presentations
for
the
end
of
the
year
submissions.
AC
Thank
you
for
your
continued
support
of
the
cac.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
you,
and
I
know
our
group
is
poised
with
its
talented,
passionate
and
dedicated
members
to
deliver
the
assistance
you
require
of
us
to
achieve
all
the
overall
goals
and
address
the
challenges
at
hand
and
into
the
future.

As
you're
aware,
we
implemented
a
covid
testing
program
for
those
employees
that
are
not
vaccinated
or
chose
not
to
disclose
their
vaccination
status.
This
program
was
very
successful
as
we
were
able
to
identify
asymptomatic,
coveted
positive
employees,
have
them
isolate,
thus
protecting
their
colleagues
and
students
from
potential
spread
or
exposure.
P
P
Anne
arundel
community
college
is
continuing
to
partner
with
the
anne
arundel
workforce
development,
corporation
aacps
and
the
department
of
public
works
to
host
a
series
of
information
nights
and
learners.
Permit
prepa
preparatory
sessions
for
individuals
interested
in
pursuing
a
commercial
driver's
license
or
cdl.
P
There
is
one
information
session
remaining,
and
that
is
this
thursday.
Tomorrow,
the
17th
at
10
am.
The
purpose
is
to
learn
more
about
cdl
training
opportunities
and
to
go
over.
The
steps
become
a
cdlb
license.
Holder
registration
is
open
via
the
anne
arum
county
workforce
development,
corporation's
website,
aawdc
wc,
in
partnership
with
the
anne
arundel
county
government
and
aacps
delivered
the
second
round
of
recruitment
and
retention
bonuses
to
the
contracted
school
bus
drivers
and
aides
during
the
first
two
weeks
of
march.
P
We
continue
to
work
collaboratively,
as
I
stated
earlier,
with
our
bus
contractors
and
other
partners
to
identify
and
hire
qualified
drivers,
I'm
very
sorry
for
the
income
for
the
inconsistencies
in
routes
throughout
the
year
and
subsequent
difficulties.
This
has
presented
to
students
and
their
families.
P
C
All
right:
well,
I
think
that's
one
of
the
shorter
updates
we've
had
in
a
while.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
okay,
we
will
move
on
now
to
section
six
consent
items.
P
Ma'am,
thank
you.
Madam
president.
I
recommend
that
the
board
of
education
authorize
the
award
of
contracts
as
listed
on
today's
agenda
6.01
through
6.06
bless.
You.
E
A
AD
Evening
for
the
record,
jeanette
ortiz
legislative
and
policy
council,
so
we
have
a
very
short
packet
yay,
believe
it
or
not.
There's
still
introducing
bills
pass
the
deadline
before
you
have
items
of
legislation
and
just
as
a
friendly
reminder
section,
one
is
something
bills
that
the
board
would
need
to
vote
on,
which
we
have
none
section.
Two
are
no
position:
bills
and
section:
three
are
bills
that
are
aligned
with
the
board's
already
adopted
positions
in
the
board's
legislative
program.
C
AD
AD
So
we
have
policy
again
janette
ortiz,
for
the
record
at
legislative
and
policy
council.
AD
It
has
been
amended
to
align
with
new
requirements
established
under
new
state
law,
which
requires
a
board
policy
to
include
certain
information
regarding
energy,
including
conservation
and
and
deficiency,
and
stylistic
revisions
were
also
made.
This
policy
will
be
on
the
acps
website
for
a
30-day
public
comment
period.
We're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
Thank
you,
mr.
E
Hi,
thank
you.
This
isn't.
I
think
this
is
more
for
mr
shaknovich
than
ms
ortiz.
So
how
would
this
policy,
when
adopted,
because
it
will
be
adopted
in
some
form?
How
will
it
affect
our
views
on
solar
and
and
will
this
speed
up?
Hopefully,
our
implementation
of
that
on
rooftops.
AE
So
this
requires
board
of
education
essentially
to
establish,
as
mr
ortiz
said,
a
sustainability
policy
that
aligns
with
the
state's
sort
of
vision
in
terms
of
sustainability.
There
was
a
work
group
at
the
state.
We
were
one
of
the
few
jurisdictions
who
were
invited
to
participate
in
that
we
shared
the
model
policies
and
sort
of
best
practices
from
amongst
the
jurisdictions
and
the
state
department
of
general
services
and
the
state
maryland
state
department
of
energy,
weighed
in
and
and
essentially
guided
the
revisions
that
not
only
us
but
the
other
24
jurisdictions
needed
to
do.
AE
The
reason
I'm
saying
it's
a
two-step
process
is
because,
following
right
behind
that,
as
you
know,
the
state
of
maryland
currently
is
weighing
a
number
of
sustainability
and
energy
efficiency
initiatives.
There's
you
know
various
versions
but
they're
hammering
out
the
details.
This
is
essentially
the
policy
glide
path
that
then
makes
way
for
the
prescriptive
requirements
that
likely
will
follow
out
of
that
subsequent
piece
of
legislation.
So
this
is
intentionally
light
because
the
prescriptive
requirements
are
going
to
come
in
the
companion
piece
of
legislation.
Ms
ortiz
yeah.
AD
No,
mr
shaknovich
is
exactly
right,
and
so
I'm
sure
some
of
you
are
aware
of
the
climate
solutions
now
act.
I
think
I
got
the
name
correct
and
so
that
actually
passed
out
of
the
senate,
education,
health
and
environmental
affairs
committee
on
second
reading
with
amendments,
and
so
there
is,
it
was
heavily
amended
and
it
does.
You
know
we
had
some
concerns
with
some
of
the
requirements
in
the
bill
and
some
of
those
concerns
have
been
addressed.
AD
But
to
your
point
about
solar
panels,
there
was
a
provision
in
that
proposed
legislation
which
speaks
to
solar
panels
and
encouraging
schools
in
the
building
of
new
construction
to
consider
installing
solar
panels
and
if
they're
unable
to
they
would.
You
know,
explain
why
to
the
interagency
commission
on
school
construction.
AD
Of
course,
it's
just
on
the
senate
side
and
the
house
has
a
different
bill,
trying
to
accomplish
sort
of
the
same
sort
of
conservation
and
and
climate
measures,
but
in
a
different
way.
So
you
know
still
to
be
seen
what
ends
up
passing
if
anything
at
all.
AE
Well,
we
are,
I
will
add,
that
we
are
in
a
set
in
essence
ahead
of
the
body
of
the
work.
One
of
the
requirements
would
require
that
public
school
buildings
within
a
state
of
maryland
be
constructed
to
be
solar
ready.
That
is
both
structurally,
as
well
as
the
infrastructure,
the
energy
collection
and
distribution
system.
That's
already
part
of
the
ed
specs
and
part
of
the
designs
that
we
are
currently
producing.
AE
So
you
know
we're
basically
trying
to
stay
ahead
of
the
you
know,
the
train,
that's
coming
down
the
pike
and
the
buildings
that
we're
already
producing
you're,
going
to
see
some
more
specs
coming
before
the
board
here
next
month.
In
all
likelihood-
and
again,
all
of
that
is
anticipatory
to
line
us
up
both
budgetarily
and
strategically
for
the
adoption
of
the
prescriptive
requirements.
E
Great,
thank
you
yes
and
I
mean
obviously
been
a
fan
rattled
off
the
word
solar,
more
than
any
other
word
used.
I've
used
in
this
this
room,
and
so
I
you
know.
Obviously
I
hope
that
it
has
a
positive
impact
on
on
what
we're
doing
and
not
just
for
our
new
buildings,
but
but
hopefully
for
existing
structures
as
well.
There's
just
a
lot
of
real
estate.
E
We
could
cover,
and
so
you
know
we'll
always
advocate
for
that,
even
if
it's
interjecting
it
into
the
first
reading
of
the
of
a
similarly
natured
policy
so
anyway,
thank
you.
E
C
This
thank
you
item
7.04
pregnant
and
parenting
students,
code,
js.
AD
So
yes,
policy,
js,
pregnant
and
parenting
students
is
also
before
you
on
first
reading.
This
is
a
new
policy
that
was
developed
to
align
with
new
state
law
requirements,
as
well
as
msde
model
link
policy,
language
and
so
prior
to
any
of
you
being
on
the
board.
In
2017,
there
was
legislation
that
provided
lawful
absences
for
certain
circumstances
for
pregnant
and
parenting
students,
and
there
have
been
it's
kind
of
a
movement
in
the
general
assembly.
AD
I
think
it
was
a
2019
law,
but
we
were
waiting
for
the
model
policy
and
msd
has
been
cranking
them
out
soon,
so
we
they
got
a
new
superintendent
they've
been
very
busy
getting
out
these
model
policies,
but
anyway,
the
this
policy
is
to
align
with
those
state
law
requirements,
and
so
it
will
be
on
the
acps
website
for
a
30-day
public
comment
period
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
Not
a
question,
I
just
wanted
to
thank
ms
ellis
and
my
fellow
colleagues
for
the
budget
proposal
that
we
have
moved
forward
to
the
council
and
although
it
has
nothing
to
do
with
the
policy
per
se,
I
kind
of
think
it
does,
because
it
is
another
way
of
demonstrating
our
support
for
everyone
in
our
community
and
meet
all
our
students
needs.
Thank
you.
AD
I
did
want
to
point
out
one
small
thing,
because
it
you
know,
as
mr
shaknovich
said,
with
the
sustainability
plan
policy,
where
we've
been
ahead
of
the
curve.
AD
Similarly,
with
this,
even
though
we
didn't
have
a
policy
in
place,
acps
has
a
lactation,
accommodations
policy
and
has
lactation
accommodations
and
all
of
our
buildings,
and
we
actually
received
an
award
a
few
years
ago
for
being
the
only
school
system
in
the
dmv
area,
with
something
written
in
policy
and
regulation,
and
so
we
are
already
equipped
to
you
know
we
were
already
equipped
to
meet
the
the
requirements
in
in
the
law.
X
Yes,
thank
you.
I
feel,
like
I've
talked
to
you
a
lot
this
week.
I
just
had
a
question.
We
used
the
term
parenting
goals
of
pregnant
and
parenting.
A
cps
students
is
that
specifically
geared
towards
paternal
aspects
is.
Is
that
gonna
be
the
thought
there.
AD
Yeah,
so
that's
a
good
question,
so,
yes,
it
was
purposeful,
the
general
assembly,
when
they
put
pregnant
and
parenting,
because
the
father
of
the
child
also
has
rights,
and
so
while
they
obviously
want
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
pregnant
student,
you
know
the
the
other
party
in
the
matter
also
may
need
to
you
know
as
far
as
lawful
absences,
for
example,
whether
they
have
doctor's
appointments
or
court
dates,
or
things
of
that
nature
that
relate
specifically
to
pregnant
parenting
needs
that
would
apply
to
both
parents.
So,
yes,.
AD
P
Thank
you,
madam
president,
members
of
the
board,
you
have
the
the
documents
in
front
of
you
and
we're
glad
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
E
Actually,
I
did
have
one
question.
Thank
you,
as
always
how
I
noticed,
probably
due
to
the
ongoing
transportation
issues
that
the
the
transportation
year
to
or
fiscal
year
to
date
spent
is,
you
know,
still
lower
than
some
of
the
other
most
of
the
other
categories
relative
to
where
we
are
in
the
in
the
school
year,
but
then
there's
the
gas
prices
being
as
they
are.
So
do
we
think
we're
we're
still
gonna
come
out
on
budget
by
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year?
E
How
do
you
see
fuel
playing
a
part
and
and
the
the
projections
going
forward.
AE
Sure,
thank
you
again.
Alex
is
chief
operating
officer,
I'm
joined
by
matt
stansky
director
of
financial
operations,
so
really
transportation
really
is
there's
two
dynamics,
and
the
first
thing
I
want
to
indicate
is
some
of
our
some
of
our
spending
categories
really
have
a
full
12
month,
spend
so
think
about
maintenance.
They
really
begin
spending
july
1,
so
you'll
see
their
spend
rate
tracks
with
the
calendar
a
little
bit
better
than
transportation.
It
really
doesn't
begin
to
spend
till
september,
so
you
always
got
to
be
careful
of
the
calendaring
effect.
AE
That's
first,
but
secondarily
directly
to
your
point.
Yes,
we're
very
concerned
about
the
fuel
price
increase.
Where
you
know
we
like
many
motorists,
are
eagerly
watching
if
there's
any
relief
at
the
federal
and
state
level.
That
could
help
that
I
still
believe
we'll
finish
essentially
on
target
in
terms
of
not
overrunning
our
our
budgets,
but
it
remains
a
concern.
We
certainly
did
not
build
a
budget.
You
know
planning
on
oil
being
95
of
a
barrel
as
it
was
just
at
the
close
of
the
market
today.
AE
So
it's
something
we
watch
each
and
every
day,
because
the
way
our
contracts
work
is
we
are
not.
We
do
not
lock
in
and
fix
a
fuel
fee
for
the
year,
so
fuel
is
a
commodity
that
sort
of
floats
up
and
down
with
market
rate
pricing.
So
it
is
something
again
that
we
keenly
watch
each
and
every
day
it's
a
game
we
play.
You
can
ask
me
at
any
minute
what
the
price
of
fuel
is
and
I'll
tell
ya.
E
E
Wow
all
right,
thank
you
for
the
explanation
appreciate
it.
