D
All

thank

and
good
evening
to
all
of
you
who
are
here
today
to
the
board
to
the
community
that
is
listening
in
on
this
Workshop
before
I.
Pass
it
over
to
our
staff.
I
do
want
to
just
say
one
one,
quick
thing
about
the
process:
I
think
Anne,
Arundel,
County,
Public
Schools,
you
all
have
a
phenomenal
process
and
it's
been
a
great
experience
for
me
coming
in
and
going
through
each
of
the
steps
to
get
to
the
point
where
we
are
with
this
budget.
D
We
know
that
there
are
still
several
other
steps
that
also
includes
the
Amendments
potential
amendments
from
the
school
board,
we're
still
waiting
on
several
other
aspects
of
of
government
level
decisions
before
we
can
eventually
come
up
with
our
final
decision,
but
I
did
want
to
commend
this
team.
That's
here
tonight,
thank
you
all
have
done
a
phenomenal
job
of
getting
us
to
where
we
are
right
now
and
with
that
being
said,
I'll
pass
it
over
to
Matt
stansky,
who
will
address,
introduce
his
staff
and
we'll
get
ready
to
go
with.
E
The
show
all
right,
thank
you,
Dr
Bedell
for
the
record
Matt
stansky
acting
Chief
Operating
Officer.
E
We're
here
tonight
to
present
a
more
detailed
overview
of
the
superintendent's
recommended
fiscal
24,
operating
and
capital
budget.
So
the
way
the
process
will
work.
President
Tobin
a
few
and
the
board
are.
D
E
Fine,
all
right,
and
so
we'll
start
with
the
operating
budget
and
we'll
start
with
a
slide
that
you
all
are
familiar
with,
which
is
our
12-step
process
to
get
to
a
budget
adoption
and
so
we're
in
between
step.
Seven
and
eight.
So
Dr
Bedell
introduced
his
Budget
on
December,
the
14th
and
we're
now
here
to
provide
the
board,
with
a
detailed
overview
of
that
recommendation
to
ultimately
lead
to
a
board
adopted
request
in
the
middle
of
February.
E
So
our
total
operating
request
is
about
1.68
billion
dollars.
It
is
149.9
million
dollars
over
last
year
and
we'll
start
up
at
the
unrestricted
side,
so
we're
seeing
flat
revenue
from
the
federal
government
in
unrestricted
Revenue.
This
is
our
impact
Aid
that
we
get
for
having
Fort
Meade
in
the
county
on
the
state
budget,
we're
looking
at
a
49.9
million
dollar
increase.
Again.
This
is
an
estimate
we
will
know
more
details.
E
E
Hopefully,
it's
higher
or
lower,
depending
on
what
what
is
presented
but,
as
we
know,
most
of
the
state
revenue
is
Formula,
driven
based
on
enrollment
and
wealth,
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
A
little
bit
later
on
the
county
side,
we're
asking
for
921
million
dollars,
it's
a
86.3
million
dollar
increase
over
the
prior
year.
E
Again,
we
knew
last
year
we
ended
up
with
about
50
million
dollars
more
than
what
we
were
over
a
prior
year,
authorization
and
so
we're
asking
for
86
understanding
that
that
number
probably
is
not
attainable.
But
this
is
our
communication
at
this
point
as
to
what
we
feel
like
we
need
to
operate,
the
district,
the
other
unrestricted
Revenue
source,
is
local.
This
is
about
3.8
million
dollar
increase
in
the
vast
majority
of
this
is
interest
income.
E
So
with
Rising
interest
rates,
we
are
getting
more
return
on
our
money
sitting
in
the
bank
and
so
we're
reflecting
that
in
in
our
Revenue
increases
on
the
restricted
side,
we're
seeing
and
in
restricted
grants
an
actual
a
13
million
dollar
decrease
overall
in
federal,
restricted
grants,
and
this
is
the
recognition
of
the
covid
related
grants
beginning
to
expire.
E
So
we
will
have
sr1
and
sr2
expire
in
fiscal
24.,
and
so
this
will
be
you'll
see
this
again
in
future
budgets,
you'll
start
to
see
a
decline
in
this
line
item
because
of
the
expiration
of
those
large
grants,
especially
when
sr3
becomes
expires
on
September
30th
of
2024..
E
The
healthcare
fund,
we're
looking
at
a
5.2
million
dollar,
increase
just
a
reminder
to
the
board
that
this
line
item
is
for
employee
share
to
the
fund,
as
well
as
any
fund
balance
usage
into
the
fund,
and
so
we
are
starting
to
see
an
uptick
three
four
five
percent
in
claims
a
little
bit,
and
so
this
is
a
reflection
of
both
use
of
fund
balance
and
increase
in
employee
contributions
to
the
fund.
E
E
Well,
you
know
for
for
a
school
district,
who's,
feeding,
84
000
students,
it
is
really
astronomical
and
so
we're
seeing
20
to
30
percent
increases
in
Commodities
we're
having
to
use
new
vendors
we've
never
used
before,
because
our
current
vendor
Partners
don't
have
tomatoes
or
don't
have
other
vegetables,
and
so
because
of
that
we're
just
continuing
to
see
escalations
and
costs.
Hopefully
we
will
be
able
to
absorb
this
without
a
lunch
price
increase.
E
But
we'll
do
we'll
know
more
about
that
when
we
present
those
figures
to
you
in
May
for
the
next
school
year,
foreign
all
right.
Moving
on
this
is
just
a
kind
of
a
pie
chart
of
what
our
overall
Revenue
picture
looks
like
again
to
No
Surprise.
The
vast
majority
of
our
Revenue
comes
from
County
government
about
55.
Next
is
the
state
government
at
31
percent,
6.3
percent
from
the
federal
government?
This
is
higher
than
we
normally
have.
E
But
again
that's
a
reflection
of
the
Esser
covet
grants
once
those
expire
we'll
see
that
Federal
number
go
back
down
to
the
two
three
percent
range
next
slide
all
right.
So
what
is
really
what
really
drives
our
state
revenue
is,
as
I
mentioned,
is
our
enrollment,
so
I
wanted
to
give
the
board
tonight
an
overview
of
where
we
are
enrollment
wise,
so
for
total
enrollment
pre-k
through
12,
we
saw
about
a
1.56
percent
increase
almost
1300
students
to
84
456..
E
The
one
below
is
what
we
actually
get
funded
for
is
which
is
our
K-12
enrollment,
and
so
you
see
a
number
81
400
per
the
law.
That
is
an
average
of
the
last
three
years,
so
you
get
to
use
the
higher
of
your
930
enrollment
or
a
three-year
rolling
average,
so
that
81
400
was
a
three-year
rolling
average
and
then
for
this
school
year
at
81
910,
so
we
actually
got
funded
for
is
a
is
only
about
a
point.
Six
three
percent
increase.
You
see
a
asterisk.
E
There
wanted
to
talk
just
briefly
about
maintenance
of
effort,
given
the
County's
economic
situation.
E
This
isn't
really
an
issue
for
us,
but
I
did
want
to
point
out
that
if
the
county
were
to
just
fund
maintenance
of
effort,
they
could
actually
cut
our
budget
5.2
million
dollars
and
would
meet
that
maintenance
of
effort
requirement,
and
that
is
really
because
of
a
one-time
infusion
for
let
per
House
Bill
1450
last
year,
where
they
held
All,
Counties,
harmless
or
held
all
school
districts,
harmless
on
maintenance
of
effort,
but
then
took
that
money
out
in
the
in
the
fiscal
24
calculation.
E
So
that
is
why
you
actually
see
even
with
an
enrollment
increase.
Maintenance
of
effort
is
a
negative
number
for
this
year,
but
again,
given
the
County's
fiscal
Outlook,
I'm
not
concerned
about
that
number.
Okay,
here's
a
big
jump!
This
is
going
to
cause
a
little
bit
of
explanation.
Our
Farms
numbers
55
increase
here
so
you're
asking.
Why
is
that?
So?
Prior
school
year
the
number
was
deflated
so
remember.
School
year,
21
22
was
the
first
year
we
went
back
to
having
folks
fill
out
the
forms
to
qualify
for
free
and
reduced
price
meals.
E
So
for
for
two
years
during
covid
we
had
Universal
feeding.
So
forms
are
not
really
required
to
be
forms
were
not
required
to
be
filled
out
in
order
to
qualify,
and
so
because
of
because
of
that
and
getting
folks
used
to
filling
out
the
forms.
E
Again,
we
saw
a
big
decline
in
our
Farms
population
now
fast
forward
to
this
year,
we're
back
into
the
practice
again,
but
not
only
that
Marilyn
participated
in
a
pilot
program
with
the
Department
of
Agriculture,
where
we
use
actually
we're
able
to
use
Medicaid
roles
to
direct
certify
students,
and
that
has
shown
to
be
a
huge
success.
E
So
a
again
a
55
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
farm
students,
so
a
big
job,
but
wanted
to
kind
of
explain
that
there's
really
two
main
drivers
of
that
the
the
suppressed
number
from
prior
school
year
and
then
with
the
new
process
to
directly
certify
students
through
Medicaid
another
solid
six
percent
increase
in
our
English
language
learner
population.
So
we're
now
just
shy
of
8
000
students
in
that,
in
that
subgroup
we
did
see
a
significant
jump
in
the
number
of
students
with
IEPs
for
this
school
year.
E
We're
now
at
10
261
for
for
school
year,
2223
about
a
two
percent
increase
in
the
number
of
special
ed
students
who
are
transporting
as
well.
That's
a
number
we
report
to
the
state
every
year
and
then
the
last
number
is
obviously
a
reflection
of
the
blueprint.
We
saw
we're
seeing
a
29
increase
in
the
number
of
full
day.
This
is
full
day
only
right,
pre-kindergarten
students
that
we
are
educating
in
the
district.
E
So,
as
the
board
knows
we'll,
you
know
continue
to
see
that
number
grow
as
we
continue
to
implement
the
blueprint
foreign.
E
This
is
a
historical
look
at
Foundation
funding,
which
is
one
of
the
funding
formulas
that
that
transition
from
the
Thornton
funding
formula
to
now
the
blueprint,
the
Kerwin
formula-
and
so
you
can
see
then
what's
interesting
about
this.
Is
you
see
the
implementation
of
Thornton
back
in
fiscal
2006
to
2000
2008?
You
see
a
big
jump
from
5497
a
student
to
6694..
Then
you
see
the
Great
Recession
right
and
look
at
that.
That
number
remained
flat
all
the
way,
really
essentially
till
fiscal
13.
E
We
saw
slight
inflationary
increases
all
the
way
to
fiscal
18,
and
then
we
begin
to
see
the
implementation
of
the
blueprint.
And
now
you
see
a
significant
jump
here
from
fiscal
2
to
fiscal
22,
to
fiscal
23
and
then,
obviously,
now
from
23
to
24.,
I.
Think
it's
important
to
note
board
member
corcadel
and
I
were
just
having
this
discussion.
Prior
to
Thornton
or
prior
to
Kerwin.
There
was
an
inflationary
Factor
assessed
to
the
foundation
formula,
there's
no
longer
an
inflationary
Factor.
E
These
numbers
are
now
hard-coded
into
the
legislation
which
gave
it
some
predictability,
but
with
that
predictability
becomes
the
inability
to
get
an
additional
Revenue,
because
inflation
is
a
lot
higher
than
what
it
has
been
in
the
past,
and
so
that
is
something
that
we'll
have
to
work
through
with
our
other
23
colleagues
across
the
state
to
see.
If
we
can't,
you
know,
get
some
extra
dollars
because
of
the
inflationary
pressures
we're
facing
on
the
expenditure
side.
E
You
familiar
with
this
chart:
where
does
our
1.68
billion
dollars
go?
Well
just
about
79
of
it
goes
to
our
people.
We
are
people
business
and
so
the
vast
majority
of
this
these
dollars
go
to
salaries
and
benefits
and
of
that
79
you
can
see
89.1
just
shy
of
90
of
those
Personnel
costs
go
to
Personnel
that
are
directly
working
with
students
on
a
daily
basis.
The
next
big
ticket
item
is
a
variable
cost
about
12
percent.
That
is
kind
of
a
catch-all
from
contracted
services
to
materials
instruction
to
technology
and
then
the
other
three.
E
You
see
our
transportation,
those
are
contracted,
Transportation
costs,
the
the
bus
drivers
we
employ
are
in
the
salary
line,
utilities
at
Josiah,
three
percent
and
then
our
non-public
tuition,
which
is
for
our
special
ed
students
who
are
serviced
by
non-public
schools.
E
All
right
so
in
the
superintendent's
recommended
budget
we
have
the
budget
broken
down
by
five
main
categories.
We
have
the
compensation
increases,
we
have
contractual
obligations
and
commitments,
we
have
blueprint
mandates,
we
have
the
Esser
funding
cliff
and
then
we
have
enhancements
for
student
achievement.
E
Obviously,
this
is
subject
to
funding,
availability
and
negotiations
with
our
bargaining
units,
but
that
is
the
placeholder
as
it
stands
today
we
did
include
2.6
million
dollars
for
unit
4
teaching
assistance
right
now.
The
teaching
assistant
job
mirrors
this
the
student
day.
E
It
is,
you
know,
we've
known
for
a
few
years
now
that
we
need
those
folks
to
help
with
arrival
and
dismissal,
and
so
this
will
allow
us
to
use
the
utilize
those
individuals
to
help
with
those
activities,
so
2.6
million
dollars
in
recognition
of
the
workload
issues
we're
facing
in
special
education.
We
are
proffering
here,
a
potential
two
thousand
dollar
bonus,
obviously
subject
to
negotiation
for
all
unit,
one
special
Educators
at
3.8
million
dollars.
E
We
have
1.3
million
dollars,
we're
estimating
at
the
moment
for
the
national
board
certification,
salary
enhancement,
which
is
mandated
by
the
blueprint
for
those
Educators
who
meet
the
criteria
outlined
in
the
legislation.
E
We
are
also
proposing
another
five
dollar
a
day
increase
in
our
substitute
teacher
pay.
We
continue.
This
is
one
of
the
areas
where
we
continue
to
struggle
to
recruit
folks.
So
this
would
get
us
to
I
believe
to
125
dollars
a
day
for
the
daily
for
a
daily
sub,
and
this
would
be
the
third
year
in
a
row.
You
would
offer
a
five
dollar
increase
to
their
compensation
and
the
area
of
Transportation,
so
while
not
a
direct
compensation
package
to
our
drivers,
this
is
to
our
contracted
bus
bus
drivers.
E
This
would
be
another
10
cost
of
living
increase
to
to
those
folks
again
to
help
recruit
and
retain
drivers,
as
we
are
continue
to
need
them
into
done
to
mitigate
our
shortages,
and
so
we
have
3.6
million
dollars
there
as
well.
E
This
last
item
is
a
placeholder,
and
hopefully,
by
the
time
you
adopt
your
budget
in
the
middle
of
February.
I
can
propose
an
amendment
to
reduce
this,
but
the
general
assembly
passed
a
law
last
session,
mandating
that
all
employers
with
10
or
more
employees
must
begin
to
pay
into
a
fund
to
provide
employees
with
a
benefit
of
FMLA
paid
leave.
E
We
don't
have
any
other
rules
of
the
road
yet
other
than
we
know
that
the
law
stipulates
that
employers
and
employees
must
begin
to
pay
into
the
fund
in
October
of
2023
and
that
the
benefit
does
not
kick
in
until
July
1
of
2025..
So
this
is
our
estimate.
At
the
moment,
we
did
some
research
that,
based
on
what
other
states
who
have
implemented
paid
FMLA
have-
and
so
this
is
six
tenths
of
one
percent
of
employee
salary
that
we
believe
employer
the
employer
us
will
have
to
pay
into
the
fund.
E
But
until
we
get
the
rules
of
the
road
from
the
from
licensing
and
labor
and
regulation,
we
really
don't
know.
So
this
is
our
placeholder
until
we
can
figure
out
what
the
actual
rules
are
and
get
a
better
estimate
as
to
what
we
need
to
budget
in
order
to
effectuate.
This
change
all
right
contractual
obligations
and
commitments.
We
have
four
line
items
here.
E
Those
two
schools
were
open
in
24
25,
but
we
all
needed
startup
money
to
get
those
schools
ready
to
go
for
that
for
that
24-25
opening
next,
this
board
voted
on
a
authorizing
a
new
elementary
charter
school,
and
so
this
is
the
dollars
that
reflect
the
the
the
dollars
necessary
to
open
that
school
in
the
23-24
school
year
and
so
6.3
million
dollars,
and
this
will
be
funded
just
like
our
other
Charter
and
contract
schools,
where
they
get
their
per
pupil
allotment
based
on
our
revenues
and
so
that
6.3
million
dollars
is
our
estimate
to
open
the
school,
with
500
students
K
through
five
and
then
the
last
one
3.2
million
dollars.
E
This
is
the
for
the
four
existing
Charter
and
contract
schools
to
ensure
that
they
get
their
fair
share
of
dollars
based
on
our
Revenue
growth.
E
Blueprint
mandates,
we
have
10.3
million
dollars
in
total,
so
start
with
the
first
one,
5.1
million
dollars.
The
law
stipulates
that
districts
must
partner
with
their
local
Workforce
Development
boards
to
provide
career
counseling
to
students
in
grades
6
through
12..
The
money
must
come
from
the
districts
and
go
to
the
Workforce
Development
boards.
E
concentration
of
poverty.
These
are
fun.
This
is
funding
for
our
community
schools.
So
next
year
we
all
know,
schools
that
will
have
that
are
at
60
or
greater
of
poverty
or
Farms
rate
will
be
begin
to
become
eligible
for
this
program.
So
we
have
currently
15
Community
Schools.
Our
estimate
right
now
is,
we
would
add,
an
additional
seven.
But
again
we
won't
know
until
the
governor
releases
his
budget,
what
the
actual
number
will
be,
but
this
is
our
estimate,
so
this
will
be
obviously
subject
to
change.
E
Based
on
the
governor's
release
of
his
budget,
the
last
two
items
are
existing
programs
that
are
seeing
we're
project
projecting
small
increases
versus
College
and
Career
Readiness,
and
this
is
the
funding
that
mandates
that
any
student
who
is
identified
as
College
and
Career
ready
will
have
a
post
what
they
call
CCR
pathway
free
of
charge,
which
could
be
any
sort
of
CTE
program,
Community,
College
tuition
or
any
advanced
placement
or
International
Baccalaureate
fees.
E
Those
would
be
waived
for
those
students
and
the
district
would
be
required
to
to
pay
those
on
behalf
of
the
student
and
the
last
is
Transitional
supplemental
instruction,
which
is
a
a
fancier
term
for
tutoring
and
grades
K
through
three.
So
we
have
a
a
multi-million
dollar
tutoring
program.
That's
already
been
established
with
this
funding.
This
is
just
a
recognition
of
an
increase
in
that
in
that
funding
source
to
continue
the
that
program.
Again,
it's
tutoring
for
grades
K
through
three
Esser
fund
and
Cliff.
E
This
is
again
not
a
not
a
new
item
for
this
board.
As
you
as
a
as
alluded
to
earlier,
we
are,
you
know:
we
saw
an
influx
of
cash
from
the
federal
government
in
the
form
of
multiple
grants,
the
help
to
mitigate
the
the
effects
of
covid-19
on
the
on
the
district.
But
again
it
was
one-time
money,
but
we
do.
We
have
seen
some
things
that
we
would
like
to
keep.
You
know
going
in
perpetuity
and
so
those
those
items
would
be
required
to
move
into
the
general
fund.
E
We'll
start,
obviously,
with
our
Virtual
Academy,
we
think
that's
been
a
very
successful
operating
school.
It's
the
only
one
of
its
kind
in
the
state
of
Maryland,
but
it
is
out
of
Esser
funding
as
of
June
30th,
and
so
we
would
need
the
the
appropriators
to
get
us
the
funding
necessary
to
continue
that
school
in
perpetuity
technology.
Again.
This
is
funding
that
we
had
to
to
acquire
to
acquire
both
laptops,
Chromebooks
internet
for
families,
and
so
we
would
need
to.
E
We
would
like
to
continue
those
programs
and
so
2.9
Million
Dollars,
to
continue
those
lease
payments
is
essential.
Another
board
priority
was
early
literacy
right
and
so
we've
had
funding
in
our
Esser
grants
to
continue
training
around
the
science
of
reading
and
the
letters
program.
And
so
we
would
like
to
continue
that
for
our
for
another
year
and
again
in
year
over
year,
and
so
we
have
a
549
thousand
dollars
set
aside
in
this
to
do
that.
E
Mckinney
vetto
right
now,
with
the
grant,
is
funding
additional
secretary
in
that
office
to
help
students
with
transition
and
placement
into
the
a
variety
of
programs.
We
are
seeing
an
increase
in
those
student
populations,
we're
looking
at
1100
to
1200
as
our
estimate
for
this
school
year,
which
would
be
about
a
150
to
200
student
increase
over
last
school
year,
and
so
the
district
has
been
able
to
identify
funding.
E
So
we're
just
looking
for
the
FTE
at
this
point
to
to
get
that
authorized
and
make
that
position
permanent
and
then
obviously,
with
the
the
focus
on
CTE
and
the
blueprint
we
have
identified
as
our
funding
for
the
last
couple
years
to
help
with
a
manager
and
a
program
specialist,
especially
in
the
areas
of
computer
science
and
so
we're
again
hoping
to
make
this
a
permanent
part
of
the
operating
budget.
So
143
900
there,
okay,
we're
out
to
the
biggest
or
the
second
biggest
category,
was
enhancements
for
student
achievement.
E
E
and
then
we're
also
for
our
elementary
students
looking
to
expand
our
Rise
program,
which
is
currently
currently
temporarily
housed
at
Georgetown
East
we're
going
to
move
that
to
the
new
Rippling
Woods
building
and
look
to
expand
that
program
for
next
year.
Foreign
we've
talked
a
lot
about
Esser
era
for
Esser
and
for
pre-kindergarten.
So
we
have
two
line
items
here.
The
first
is
1.9
million
dollars.
E
We
had
used
Sr
dollars
as
seed
money
to
begin
dipping,
our
toes
in
the
water
of
three-year-old
Pre-K
per
the
blueprint,
and
so
we
would
need
to
move
this
funding
over
to
the
general
fund
and
make
it
permanent.
We
are
getting
Pre-K
Revenue
because
of
these
students
who
are
enrolled,
and
so
this
to
me
is
an
easy
swap
to
get
this
to
get
this
funding
out
of
Esser
and
over
into
the
general
fund,
and
then
we're
also
looking
to
add
three
more
classrooms
for
next
school
year.
At
1.2
million
dollars.
E
We
saw
again
about
the
five
percent
increase
in
our
ell
population
and
to
reflect
to
get
additional
services
for
those
students
looking
to
add
three
more
bilingual
facilitators.
We
are
also
looking
to
just
FTE
authorization
for
a
communication,
a
bilingual
communication
specialists
in
the
Communications
office.
We
are
also
asking
for
1.7
million
dollars
to
fund
an
additional
19
teachers
and
two
teaching
assistants
in
the
English
language
development
program
and
then
as
as
well
as
we're
looking
for
FTE
authorization
for
a
bilingual
data
assistant
in
the
international
and
family
Welcome
Center
foreign.
E
We
are
asking
for
expansion
of
the
Triple
E
program
into
the
Old
Mill
cluster.
We
still
have
five
clusters
that
do
not
have
the
Triple
E
program,
so
we're
looking
for
2.3
million
dollars
and
for
to
fund
nine
and
a
half
positions
which
would
include
also
Portables
and
materials
instruction
to
make
the
to
effectuate
this
program.
In
the
Old
Mill
cluster,
we
are
asking
for
FTE
authorization,
a
half
time
position
for
JROTC
1.0
position
at
for
a
registrar
at
North
County,
given
the
the
the
constant
influx
of
students
in
that
area.
E
In
the
area
of
Recruitment
and
Retention,
again,
with
the
increased
focus
on
on
trying
to
recruit
highly
effective
candidates
into
our
district,
we
do
we
are
asking
for
an
assistant
manager
in
the
human
resource
office
to
continue
to
to
help
mitigate
that
increased
workload
in
that
office.
We're
looking
for
Ft
authorization
there.
We
are
also
asking
for
four
new
right
start
advisors.
These
are
our
teacher
mentors.
Given
the
the
number
of
new
employees
that
we're
we're
bringing
on
board.
E
We
would
we
feel
it's
necessary
to
get
some
additional
mentorship
in
there
to
to
help
them
with
the
transition
into
becoming
a
teacher
for
333
600,
and
we're
also
asking
for
five
teaching
kindergarten
teaching
assistants
and
again,
five
more
what
we
call
permanent
substitutes
at
474
thousand
dollars
again
to
help
those
schools
with
higher
absenteeism
or
vacancy
rates.
E
We
have
12
assistant
principals,
we're
asking
for
we
have
roughly
again
35
36
schools
that
are
either
don't
have
an
assistant
principal
or
don't
have
the
formula
allocated
assistant
principles.
So
this
will
be
a
first
year
of
probably
a
three-year
ask
to
get
these
in
again
and
we're
also
looking
to
have
these
folks
begin.
E
How
I
would
say
to
begin
to
implement
the
sort
of
the
new
vision
of
the
assistant
principal
jobs
through
the
blueprint
which
would
be
to
teach
actually
as
well
as
become
an
assistant
principal
the
the
blueprint
requires
that
assistant
principals
teach
actually
20
of
their
day,
and
so
we're
going
to
look.
If
we
get
these
new
positions,
we
would
look
to
implement
that
and
pilot
it
with
these
12
positions
as
well.
E
We're
also
asking
for
just
FTE
authorization
for
two
Community
ambassadors.
This
would
convert
to
the
temporary
Community
ambassadors
to
full
time.
This
would
also
they
would
also
begin
to
set
up
the
the
mentoring
program,
which
would
include
career
counseling
that
Dr
Bedell
has
has
expressed.
You
know
as
a
priority
of
his,
and
so
these
these
folks
would
begin
to
get
that
program
in
motion
as
well
in
the
world
of
social
emotional
support.
E
Again,
this
was
a
board
priority
and
I
think
our
budget
reflects
that
that
priority,
we're
looking
to
add
to
pupil
Personnel
workers,
we're
looking
to
add
three
school
counselors
for
school
psychologists
and
then
three
social
workers
and
then
a
secretary
for
the
Social
Work
office,
who
has
seen
a
large
expansion
of
work
here
in
the
last
three
years.
E
In
the
world
of
special
education,
8.8
million
dollars,
so
we
have
3.6
in
a
comprehensive
sites
and
again
want
to
reflect
the
one
of
the
board
voted
on
priorities
here.
So
this
3.6
million
dollars
includes
14
additional
IEP
clerks,
which
are
folks
that
help
the
special
educator
with
the
day-to-day
paperwork
that
is
required
for
per
the
federal
government
to
monitor
IEP
progress
and
then
there's
50
positions
here
that
are
converting
temporary
tsas
to
actually
full-time
Tas.
E
We
believe
that
this
job
has
expanded
in
its
responsibilities
over
the
years
and
we
need
to
begin
to
reflect
the
importance
of
these
roles,
and
so
getting
these
folks
on
you
know.
Full-Time
jobs
with
Benefits
I
think
will
help
us
recruit
and
retain
these
individuals,
and
so
these
50
would
be
in
our
special
centers
we're
going
to
start
with
our
Three
Special
centers
and
then
hope
to
expand
that
in
other
budgets,
their
budget
years,
2.8
million
dollars
for
35
positions
in
our
specialty
sites
for
AAC
autism
and
our
Ed
classrooms.
E
And
then
we
have
2.3
million
dollars
so
right
now
we
have
what
we
call
our
ECI
Early
Childhood
programs
for
special
education,
we're
looking
to
convert
those
to
full
day
integrated
classrooms,
integrated
Pre-K
classrooms,
and
they
would
be
at
Point
Pleasant
in
our
Three
Special
Education
Centers,
as
well,
so
we'll
be
able
to
service
those
students
in
a
in
a
full
full
day.
Pre-K
environment
foreign
would
allow
us
to
get
us
get
funding
for
those
students
as
well
right
now
we're
not
getting
any
funding
for
them.
E
That's
secondary
to
the
supports
they
need
continue
on
in
special
education.
We
have
registrar
in
the
birth
of
five
program,
we're
asking
for
that.
We
also
have
a
1.0
non-public,
IEP
clerk.
This
would
allow
our
specialists
in
the
non-public
office
to
actually
go,
do
more
site
visits
and
provide
feedback
on
the
instructional
program
that
our
non-special
or
our
non-public
special
education
students
are
experiencing,
and
then
seven
positions
for
OT
occupational
therapy,
physical
therapy
and
speech
therapy
for
students
who
require
those
Services
as
well.
So
a
total
of
seven
and
I
should
forget.
E
Also
deaf
and
hard
of
hearing
interpreters
as
well.
We
had
a
family
move
into
the
community
that
require
those
services.
E
Everyone's
favorite
topic,
transportation
and
and
and
another
priority
of
the
board-
it's
been
mine,
I've
like
learned
to
learn
to
love
it
we
are.
We
are
asking
for
a
1.0,
a
receptionist
in
the
transportation
office,
a
bilingual
receptionist
to
again
help
with
those
calls
that
come
in.
We
think
that's
important
and
then
5.2
million
dollars.
E
So
this
is
a
combination
of
22
band
drivers
and
AIDS
that
would
be
aacps
employees
as
well
as
3.5
million
for
contracted
services
for
vendors,
who
would
also
provide
these
Services
as
well
so
again,
I
think
this
mixed
delivery
model
for
the
alternative
vehicle
program
has
worked
well
to
date.
E
Again
can't
thank
Dr
Bedell
on
the
board
enough
for
the
author,
the
emergency
procurements
that
have
really
relieved
the
system
and
have
given
us
a
fighting
chance
to
get
us
back
to
getting
students
to
and
from
school
on
time,
and
so
this
is
to
really
effectuate
that
to
make
it
permanent
to
get
the
dollars
in
here
to
really
to
get
a
robust
alternative
vehicle
program
in
place
so
that
we
can
free
those
CDL
and
yellow
buses
to
help
mitigate
any
other
shortfalls
that
we're
facing.
E
So
that
concludes
the
operating
budget.
I'll
quickly
review
the
capital
budget
and
again
this
has
not
changed
since
you
all
adopted
this
request
back
in
September,
so
we
have
197
million
dollars,
so
136.4
of
which
is
for
major
capital
projects,
including
the
conclusion
of
West
County
Elementary,
Old,
Mill,
Middle,
South,
cat
North,
Old,
Mill,
Middle,
School,
North
and
Old
Mill,
High
School,
and
then
a
60.6
million
dollars
in
recurring
projects
that
you
see
on
the
screen
to
date.
E
We
have
about
31.6
in
authorization
from
the
IAC
and
again
this
is
that's
the
first
dab
again.
We
will
walk
through
a
possible
additional
approvals
in
January
February
and
then,
ultimately
in
May,
when
the
IC
in
the
in
the
general
assembly
adopt
the
budget,
and
so
we
have
eight
million
dollars
in
construction
funding
authorized
for
cat
North
and
23.6
million
at
21
other
various
projects
in
schools
all
right.
So
what
are
our
issues
at
hand
here
for
this
fiscal
year
and
moving
forward
right
so
to
No
Surprise
the
sport?
E
There
are
funding
requirements
and
mandates
from
the
blueprint
we
went
through
at
least
what
the
mandates
were
for
next
next
year.
There
will
be
more
coming
and
growing
compensation
increases
for
employees
in
order
to
become
more
competitive
with
neighboring
jurisdictions.
Right
Dr
bedel
is,
you
know,
has
shown
charts
that
show
us
that
that
we're
currently
behind,
especially
when
it
comes
to
our
instructors
and
we
are
going
to
have
to
find
a
way
to
get
more
competitive
without
you
know,
hurting
programs
or
other
things
that
the
district
does
that
impact
children.
E
We've
talked
about
Esser
and
the
ARP
in
the
American
Rescue
plan
grants
right.
This
is
a
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
in
one-time
money
that
was
infused
to
the
district.
We've
done
some
amazing
things
with
those
dollars,
but
unfortunately,
those
dollars
expire
and
so
we're
gonna
have
to
really
kind
of
strategically
look
and
say
all
right.
What
do
we
with
what
we
spent?
What
was
really
truly
one
time
that
we,
you
know
no
longer
have
to
do,
and
what
is
that?
E
What
is
something
that
we've
seen,
that
the
data
shows
us
that
is
really
making
a
difference
and
that
we
want
to
continue
moving
forward
and
so
I.
Think
again,
our
our
ask
this
year
reflects
of
those
programs.
What
we
wanted
to
see
funded
that
really
was
not
funded
in
any
of
the
grants
moving
forward
for
next
year,
but
that
we
wanted
to
continue
on
a
permanent
basis,
and
then
we
saw
a
little
bit
too.
We
have
you
know
two
new
schools
that
were
opening
in
24
25.
E
E
It
was
a
pretty
significant
budgetary
impact,
and
so
we'll
have
to
to
do
that
again
and
that's
gonna
come
in
fiscal
25
when
there's
blueprint,
mandates
and
obviously
compensation
pressures
that
we're
all
going
to
be
facing,
and
so
we'll
just
have
to
together
work
through
those
issues
and
and
and
obviously
put
an
argument
together
to
our
funders,
that
that
shows
them
that
it's
truly
needed
and
it
should
be
invested
in
this
important
dates
to
remember.
Dr
Tobin
already
mentioned
the
public
hearings
coming
up
on
the
24th
and
26th.
E
This
board
is
scheduled
to
adopt
its
Budget
on
February
the
15th,
and
we
have
a
snow
date
if
necessary,
on
the
16th
and
then
this
the
budget
then
goes
to
the
county
executive
in
March
1
for
his
introduction
by
May
the
1st.
We
will
update
this
once
we
have
confirmation
on
County,
Council,
public
hearings
and
when
we
come
before
the
council
to
to
present
our
request
and
then
the
deadline
for
the
council
to
approve
a
budget
is
June
15th.
E
It's
board
will
then
take
that
up
and
their
June
26th
meeting
for
a
July,
1
implementation
date
and
I'll.
Just
reiterate
too.
E
What's
not
on
here
is
the
governor
governor-elect
still
he's
not
inaugurated
yet
we'll
be
releasing
his
Budget
on
Friday,
the
20th,
and
so
you
know
the
team
and
I
will
obviously
comb
it
Page
by
Page
and
we'll
have
an
update
for
Dr
Bedell
on
this
board.
At
some
point
once
we
feel
confident
in
what
is
included
in
that
budget.
So
with
that
and
a
president,
we
will
yield
the
floor
back
and
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
You
have.
C
Okay,
thank
you,
as
always:
Mr
stansky
and
the
entire
staff
I
know
this.
We
get
the
tip
of
what
is
a
huge
amount
of
work
and
I
Echo.
The
superintendent's
comments
that
we
are
very
very
grateful
to
have
the
kind
of
process
and
staff
that
we
do
and
and
I
know
the
work's
not
done
yet
it's
nice
of
them
to
drop
that
on
a
Friday.
So
you'll
have
a
lovely
weekend.
A
E
C
Thrilled
was
there
any
anything
additional
Dr
Bedell,
you
wanted
to
say
before
we
open
it
up.
Okay,
so
I'm
gonna
go
around
and
roll
call
order
and
I'll
ask
members.
You
know
again
two
questions
and
if
you
have
additional
questions,
we'll
do
a
second
round.
So
tonight
we
begin
with
Miss
Ellis.
H
H
One
question
I
have
is:
we've
heard
we
heard
we
had
a
presentation
from
the
county
on
what
is
expected
to
be
available
from
the
county,
and
we
know
that
our
ask
is
much
greater
than
that
and
I
want
to
preface
this
with
my
great
appreciation
for
a
very
thoughtfully,
carefully
put
together
budget
by
Dr,
Bedell
and
Mr
sandsky
and
all
of
your
amazing
team.
H
But
when
it
comes
down
to
it,
there
are
likely
to
be
some
tough
choices
to
be
made.
I
see
this
as
what
it
is.
It's
the
superintendent's
recommended
budget
and
I
I
fully
I
have
every
faith
that
all
of
these
things
are
needed
in
our
school
system.
H
But
the
question
is:
do
we
want
our
County
Executive
and
our
County
Council
to
decide
what
the
priorities
are
for
our
students
when
that's
what
we've
been
put
here
for
so
is
there
a
way
to
give
any
input
into
what
the
absolute
we
must
have
these
versus?
If
we're
not
going
to
get
it
all,
you
know
what,
how?
H
E
Right
so
Miss,
Ellis
I,
think
a
couple
things
to
your
question,
which
is
you
know
every
year
you
know
the
administration
and
it's
a
delegate
balance
of
of
you
know
how
do
we
publicly
communicate?
What
we
need,
which
is
what
ultimately,
this
document
you
know
in
this
budget
is,
is
a
is
a
Public
Communication
to
elected
officials,
about
what
the
school
district
needs
and
what
our
priorities
are
versus
fiscal
realities
and
I
think
what's
helped
or
what
will
help
is
you
know
this
board
in
October
voted
on
what
you
thought.
E
E
You
know
what
what
this
board
felt
was
a
priority.
I
think
Dr
Bedell
and
his
you
know.
Public
meetings
has
addressed
what
in
what
he
feels
is
a
priority
for
this.
For
this
school
district
and
I
think
they
align
really
well
and
so
I
think
you
know
you
don't
want
to
you.
Don't
want
to
make
too
many
Cuts
I
think
before
the
before
it
gets
to
the
County
Executive.
You
don't
want
to
signal
that.
Maybe
it's
not
as
needed.
E
As
you
know,
the
the
budget
request
isn't
what
is
really
needed
right,
and
so
it's
it's.
It's
a
balance
that
both
the
superintendent
and
and
this
board
always
have
to
have
to
deal
with
and
I.
Think
I.
Think
we've
made
a
good
attempt
that
the
request
that
the
administration
put
forward
to
you
all
is
responsible,
but
also
reflects
what
we
feel
like.
We
need
to
move
the
district
forward
in
a
year.
E
I
think
governor,
elect
Moore's
budget
coming
out
on
Friday
will
also
help
inform
this
right.
If
that,
if
the
number
is
north
of
49
million
dollars,
that
means
our
County
our
County
asks
could
be
less
right,
which
is
good
if
it's
south
of
49
million
dollars,
then
that's
a
you
know
a
different
conversation,
but
you
know
I
think
you,
you
know
Mr
trump,
our
presentation
was
was
good
and
and
it
did
sort
of
communicate.
E
What
I
think
we
all
knew,
which
was
last
year,
was
a
great
year,
but
I
think
you
know
comparing
it
to
last
year,
makes
it
look
seem
worse
than
what
it
is.
I
still
think
revenues
looks
still
look
strong,
they're,
just
not
what
they
were
a
year
ago
and
so
I
think
I
think
we've
done
already
a
good
job
of
communicating
what
those
priorities
are
and
I
think
there'll
be
opportunities
in
the
springtime.
E
H
Thank
you,
Mr
stansky
and
I
I.
That
was
a
very
I
I.
Think
well
put
response
to
my
question,
but
Dr
Bedell,
with
this
being
your
first
time
here
with
us,
and
some
of
us
have
gone
through
this
process
several
times
in
the
school
system.
I'd
like
to
hear
your
philosophy
on
that
question,
and
do
you
understand
what
I'm
asking
is
that
yeah
everything
here
is
important,
but
who,
who
should
make
those
determinations?
Should
we
hand
this
over
to
the
county
to
decide
what's
most
important
or
how?
How
do
we
do
that?
Yeah.
D
I
think
I
hear
what
you're
saying
and
given
that
it's
my
first
process
going
through
this
whole
process
for
the
very
first
time,
I
think
it's
important
that
I
kind
of
let
the
process
play
out
so
I
can
see
for
myself
what
went
well
with
it.
What
didn't
go
well
with
it
and
I
think
once
we
once
I
get
through
the
process,
it's
going
to
be
easier
for
me
than
to
recommend
whether
we
need
to
make
some
changes
or
not
I.
Just
everything.
D
That's
left
in
this
budget
is
extremely
important
because
we
sat
down
for
multiple
days
cutting
away
at
it.
So
the
truth
is
I.
Don't
want
to
lose
anything
in
here,
but
the
reality
is.
We
know
that
there
will
have
to
be
more
cuts
and
I
think
we
will
come
back
together
as
a
team
and
and
look
at
what
those
additional
Cuts
will
be.
I
have
had
my
fair
share
of
meetings
with
the
county
executive.
D
Already
I
think
I've
been
very
explicit
around
the
issues
that
are
really
that
really
matter
and
that
are
critical
for
us
and
so
I,
just
I
just
think
we
have
to
let
this
kind
of
play
out
and
and
then
make
assessments
after
we
get
through
that,
but
I
mean
I.
Really
it's
hard
on
me
to
weigh
in
on
a
process,
I've,
never
been
a
part
of,
and
just
say
we're
going
to
make
changes
on
it
when
I've
never
been
through
it.
It's
I,
don't
know
how
well
that
would
sit
with
others.
D
You
didn't
even
give
the
process
a
chance.
So
that's
part
of
the
reason
why
I'm
I'm
pretty
adamant
that
I
feel
good
about.
What's
been
presented
and
I.
Think
and
if
there's
some
things
that
get
cut
I
mean
I'm
certain.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
go
back
and
say:
hey
this.
This
can't
be
cut
so
we're
gonna
have
to
look
at
cutting.
Something
else
is
that
is
that
part
of
the
process
yeah.
It's
not
static
right,
no.
E
H
Uh-Huh,
thank
you
and
finally,
Triple
E.
If
this
Edition
were
to
be
passed,
what?
Where
would
that
leave
us
with.
E
H
B
Thank
you
and
thank
you
guys,
as
always
for
lots
of
helpful
information.
B
My
question,
actually
one
of
my
questions
is
regarding
AAA.
So
I'll
start
there,
since
it
was
brought
up.
I
am
curious,
so
the
blueprint
has
some
pretty
prescribed
things
relevant
to
Community
Schools
and
how
we
approach,
reading
and
and
some
of
the
fundamental
foundational
components
of
Triple
E
that
we're
we're
providing
for
I
guess.
My
question
is:
is
how
does
it
fit
with
the
blueprint
plan
moving
forward,
because
this
was
my
the
way
I've
always
understood
this
program?
B
Is
that
it's
filling
the
void
that
eventually
blueprint
will
come
and
provide
for
us,
so
we
have
been
chipping
away
at
it
and
even
offered
for
the
council
and
County
Executive
to
accelerate
the
the
program.
It's
a
multi-year
as
negotiated
with
our
local
funders,
but
I'm
I'm,
wondering
you
know
we're
talking
about
early
literacy,
kindergarten,
Readiness,
and
these
are
programs
that
are
very
well
targeted.
They
add
additional
teachers
to
the
programs,
but
when
I
look
at
five
years
from
now,
where
are
we
relevant
to
blueprint,
I,
I?
Guess
I'm?
Not
seeing?
B
E
So
I
think
just
from
strictly
like
a
math
standpoint,
so
the
blueprint
requires
a
60
40
split
in
the
teacher
work
day,
right
and
so
I
think
in
the
middle
and
high
school
level,
I'm
not
going
to
say
that's
easy
to
get
to,
but
we
have
a
lot
more
flexibility
to
get
to
those
targets.
E
Elementary
is
very
difficult
and
it
makes
it
even
more
difficult
when
in
in
a
in
clusters,
where
we
don't
have
that
fifth
sort
of
for
lack
better
term
cultural
art,
which
is
what
Triple
E
is
serving
as
so,
it
gets
those
teachers
that
additional
planning
time
gets
those
teachers
an
opportunity
to
do
small
group
instruction
for
clusters
that
don't
have
the
program
we're
really
struggling
to
make
that
work
that
requirement's
going
to
be
here
in
two
years.
We
have
work
groups
working
on
it,
but
ultimately
it
is
it's
there.
You
know
that
program.
E
The
Clusters
that
have
that
program
that
60
40
split
will
will
won't
be
as
difficult
to
get
to
with
those
programs
and
again
I.
Think
I'm,
not
I,
can't
really
I.
Don't
speak
well
to
the
educational
effectiveness
of
the
program.
But
what
I
can
tell
you
anecdotally
is
that
program
provides
students,
a
new
opportunity
at
the
elementary
level
to
really
learn
about
science
stem.
E
You
know,
Global
Studies,
all
the
things
that
at
a
at
a
young
age
you
typically
not
exposed
to
and
that
this
program
does
expose
you
to
that
and
I
think
well,
not
specifically
prescribed
in
the
blueprint
I
think
the
intent
of
the
blueprint
was
to
get
to
our
youngest
Learners
and
to
get
them
more
well-rounded
and
I.
Think
that
trip
our
Triple
E
program
does
that,
which
is
why
we
want
to
still
attempt
to
continue
to
expand
it
to
ultimately
get
it
to
all
of
our
schools.
Elementary.
E
B
The
board
did
a
couple
years
back,
asked
the
county
to
accelerate
that
and
and
put
them
in,
because
they're
helping
in
so
many
different
ways,
and
they
help
us
meet
our
objective.
So,
when
I'm
looking
at
five
remaining
one
being
requested,
only
one
being
funded
each
prior
year,
even
though
I
believe
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
proposed
that
amendment
was
to
I
supported
it,
I
didn't
profit
and
do
some
of
the
back
work
on
it,
but
was
in
anticipation
of
this.
B
So
if
that
is
going
to
come
to
fruition
in
two
years
and
when
I
do
the
math
I'm
going
to
need
5
to
get
through,
could
you
explain
the
rationale
in
continuing
because
look
we're
offering
in
many
categories
things
that
are
not
are
outside
of
our
traditional
comfort
zone?
So
to
speak
of
you
know,
we
were
on
a
two-year
increase
trajectory
for
multiple
years,
so
you
can
go
back
to
the
recession
years,
a
little
bit
of
relief
and
then
back
again
so
I'm
looking
at
this
program
and
saying
gee.
B
This
is
where
this
is
one
of
the
ways
how
we
get
to
some
of
our
our
outcomes
and
the
outcomes
sound
promising
I'd
be
I,
can't
wait
to
see
some
of
the
hard
data
that
supports
it
in
the
schools
that
we've
been
in
for
a
few
years,
but
I'm
just
wondering
why
we're
continuing
to
slow
walk
it
if
it
is
meeting
some
of
our
blueprint,
as
well
as
our
local
Focus.
No.
B
And
so
how
will
we
meet
those
objectives
in
two
years
in
those
in
those
absent
clusters?
We.
E
B
Sounds
good,
thank
you
very
much
and
then
my
only
other
second
question
and
I
don't
mean
to
to
ask
this
question
is
to
like
Target
out,
but
it
did
kind
of
strike
me
and
I
was
doing
one
more
pass
through
the
budget
book
because
no
question
submitted
so
far
because
I
think
I
have
a
pretty
good
understanding,
but
one
thing
that
I
didn't
see
in
the
program
enhancements
kind
of
called
out,
but
did
catch
and
just
wanted
to
clarify
so
under
under
the
chief
Communications
officer.
We're
proposing
adding
an
FTE.
Is
that
correct?
That's.
E
E
Yeah,
so
we
it
was
in
the
slides
that,
but
we
probably
skipped
over
a
little
bit.
It
is
a
bilingual
communication,
specialist,
okay,
again
to
help
with
our
our
increase
in
multi-language
lingual
families.
We
just
feel
that
that
additional
ft
is
necessary
to
to
communicate
with
those
with
those
families.
Well,.
D
D
Something
that
has
come
up
in
a
number
of
The,
Listener,
learning
tours
and
I-
think
significant
feedback
has
come
from
the
two
that
we've
already
done,
that
were
full
bilingual,
the
lack
of
of
having
Specialists
that
can
help
support
them.
You
know
from
from
central
office
and-
and
we
also
know
that
Transportation
was
another
issue
of
us
being
able
to
communicate
properly
with
the
growing
demographic.
D
So
we
we
I,
think
a
lot
of
what
we
were
looking
for
to
support
our
ell
Families
Our
bilingual
Hispanic
families,
with
the
amount
of
growth
we're
having
that
was.
That
was
a
pretty
critical,
critical
position.
I
think
you
all
will
see
and
I
know.
This
is
not.
You
didn't
ask
the
question
for
what
I'm
getting
ready
to
say,
but
it's
one
of
the
few
recommended
positions
in
in
one
of
the
key
cabinet
area
to
put
departments
in
central
office.
D
B
And
this
board
did
adopt
because
I
I
know
I
propered
it
as
a
motion
to
try
to
increase
our
bandwidth
capacity
to
communicate
because
there
there's
some
obvious
gaps
and
I
I
think
they
were
brought
out
to
our
benefit
in
a
sense
when
we
were
going
through,
you
know
our
covet
emergency
and
some
other
things
when
they've
emerged
so
seeing
that
as
progress,
then
I
have
no
other
further
questions
at
this
time.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Ms.
C
G
First
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
all
of
your
hard
work.
Thank
you
to
the
team.
It's
it's
a
heavy
lift
every
year,
I
already
adored
this
budget,
I
love
the
extra
explanation
and
the
answers
to
the
questions.
So
thank
you
for
all
of
that.
G
Just
some
nuts
and
bolts
things
to
ask
firstly,
regarding
Pre-K
3:
do
we
know
where,
in
the
county,
those
classrooms
and
well
both
line
items
under
I
think
it's
page
15
of
the
of
the
of
the
slide
deck
this
evening,
where
we're
gonna
focus
them
those
efforts,
if
funded,
of
course,.
G
E
We
do
not
know
the
location
just
yet,
okay,
but
as
soon
as
we
do
we'll,
let
you
know
and
we'll
let
us
get
back
to
you
on
so
for
the
eight
it's
just
wherever
the
existing
eight
eight
questions
are
located:
okay,
but
we'll
we
can
get
you
where
they
located.
G
And
then
just
another
question
or
two,
the
the
JROTC
teacher,
obviously
always
been
a
huge
fan
of
these
programs.
Obvious
reasons
to
it's
only
for
a
0.5
position
do
we
know
which
of
the
programs
that
person
will
be
placed
or
will
they
split
their
time
between
programs,
yeah.
G
And
then
you
know,
of
course,
as
we
get
into
you
know,
what's
going
to
be
funded
and
all
of
that
in
terms
of
APS
and
Community
ambassadors
and
all
of
our
hopeful
new
staff
for
the
social
emotional
piece,
knowing
where
those
folks
are
going
to
be
placed.
Ultimately,
once
we
have
that
information
I
know
this
board
would
love
that,
because
our
our
constituents
always
tend
to
ask,
and
so
you
know
that
that
information
would
be
great
to
have
but
yeah.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
great
budget.
G
Oh
one,
more
just
comment
going
back
to
something
Miss
Ellis
was
referring
to
our
former
colleague
Mr
grannan
used
to
say
this
often
so
like.
G
Ultimately,
we
are
in
charge
of
our
of
our
destiny
as
it
as
it
is,
and
so,
if,
if
our,
if
our
funders
make
decisions
that
we're
not
super
stoked
on
that,
we
would
rather
see
that
money
use
this
way
or
that
way
that
we
we
ultimately
can
make
that
decision
at
that
at
that
time,
and
so
you
know
he
liked
to
he
liked
to
say
you
know
well,
we
can
always
move
it
back
or
move
it
around.
G
So,
although
I
do
hope
that
that
our
funders
listening
out
there
fund
this
to
the
the
best
of
their
ability
and
so
I
look
forward
to
that,
because
I
can't
think
of
a
better
investment
than
our
children
and
I.
Thank
you
again,
everyone
for
your
help
and
your
work
on
this.
Thank
you.
D
Sure
I
just
wanted
to
respond
to
what
you
said
on
Thursday,
we
presented
to
leadership
and
Arundel
and
I
think
this
was
all
of
the
the
business
folks
and
we
did
add
a
slide
in
our
presentation
that
talked
about
the
return
on
investment
for
every
dollar
that
you
put
into
education.
D
Here's
the
return
to
the
economy,
so
we'll
we
will
probably
have
to
you
know,
use
that
utilize
that
slide
at
a
future
board
meeting
to
just
reiterate
to
people
that
there
was
a
study
that
was
conducted
that
showed
the
amount
of
investment
into
education
here
in
Anne
Arundel
and
what
the
return
would
be.
So
thank
you
for
for
drawing
that
from
me.
When
you
made
your
comments.
G
J
Thank
you,
president
Coleman,
so
I
have
more
comments
rather
than
questions.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
thank
Dr,
Miguel
I
think
this
is
a
great
budget.
In
my
mind,
Mr
stansky,
the
entire
team,
also
I'd
like
to
thank
Miss
shoheim
for
all
of
the
work
that
she's
put
in,
and
also
all
of
my
colleagues,
because
there
have
been
a
lot
of
very,
very
insightful
questions
that
were
answered
by
staff
and
we
thanked
staff
for
for
doing
that.
J
I've
always
believed
and
I
still
believe,
that
our
budget
requests
must
reflect
the
needs
of
our
students
and
not
projected
dollars
that
someone
says
that
we
might
get.
Having
said
that,
I
do
have
a
few
concerns.
One
of
them
has
to
do
with
the
increase
for
substitutes.
I
think
our
substitutes
are
extremely
valuable
to
us
and
I'm
thinking
about.
J
Maybe
that
needs
to
be
a
little
bit
more
than
the
five
percent
and
then
the
other
I'm
thinking
about
the
Virtual
Academy,
which
had
been
paid
for
by
Esser
funds,
and
we
know
that
that
has
to
that
you
know
we
have
to
have
a
a
request
from
the
county,
but
I'm
also
thinking
that
our
Virtual
Academy,
which
is
rather
unique
across
the
state
I'm
thinking
that
it's
going
to
need
to
grow
and
change
with
some
additional
responsibilities
and
I
am
kind
of
thinking
that
that
maybe
we
need
to
be
taking
a
look
at
that
and
perhaps
even
asking
for
a
little
bit
more
because
we
do
have
some
needs
in
this
school
system
that
can
be
met
by
our
Virtual
Academy
and
so
again.
J
F
Thank
you
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
I
have
I
I
kind
of
ambouncing
around
when
on
what
my
colleagues
have
already
said.
So
the
first
question
I
wanted
to
ask:
what
are
the
blueprint
requirements
for
the
colas
and
the
aps?
What
is
the,
what
is
the
minimum
state
law
and
then
what,
above
that,
are
we
seeking
so.
E
Per
state
law
districts
had
to
give
a
10
Cola
to
teacher
to
unit
one
only
right.
So
it's
so
the
blueprint
says
nothing
about
units
two
through
six,
so
we're
just
talking
unit
one
first,
and
so
it's
a
ten
percent
increase
between
fiscal
20
and
fiscal
24..
So
between
fiscal
20
and
23
we've,
given
a
seven
percent
increase
and
just
to
be
clear,
so
steps
or
makeup
steps
do
not
count
in
that
calculation
right.
E
So
the
aib
and
legislature
have
made
it
clear:
it's
only
colas,
so
we've
given
seven
seven
percent
Cola
between
fiscal
20
and
fiscal
23..
So
to
get
to
the
10
percent,
the
Mandate
would
be
a
three
percent
Cola
and
again
that
would
just
be
for
unit
one.
Only
so
obviously,
with
our
proposal
we
have
a
six
percent
Cola,
so
we
are
going
above
and
beyond
the
quote-unquote
Mandate
by
three
percent
on
the
assistant
principle
piece.
The
the
blueprint
does
not
mandate
a
number
of
assistant
principles
or
or
how
they're
distributed
amongst
schools.
E
What
it
does
begin
to
contemplate,
though,
is
a
cup
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
we
implement
the
career
ladder
that,
in
AP
by
the
end
of
this
decade,
will
have
to
be
nationally
board
certified
right
so
by
by
fiscal
29
assistant
principles
will
have
to
be
nationally
board
certified
and
they
will
begin
to
have
to
teach
20
of
their
day.
So
the
whole
theory
of
action
and
blueprint
is
that
everybody
in
the
building
is
in
is
focused
on
instruction
right.
Everybody
is
an
instructor
to
some
extent.
E
It
even
contemplates
doesn't
mandate
that
a
principal
teach
10
of
their
day,
but
it
recommends
that
an
actual
principal
teaches
10
of
their
time,
and
so
again
the
theory
of
action
here
is
everybody
in
the
building
from
administrators
to
instructors
are
focused
on
instruction.
Now
what
I
think
what
we're
sort
of
grappling
with
as
a
district
is?
E
There
are
tasks
that
administrators
do,
that
aren't
always
instructionally
focused,
but
are
essential
to
the
operation
of
the
building,
and
so,
if
we
are
taking
an
administrators
time,
some
of
their
time
away
to
instruct
whether
that
is
they're,
the
teacher
of
record
or
maybe
they're
just
an
expert
in
the
Civil
War
and
they're
teaching
that
section
of
U.S
history
right.
E
E
You
know
whatever
can
happen
in
a
school
school
day,
which
you
know
blows
your
mind
when
you
realize
the
things
that
administrators
have
to
deal
with
on
a
daily
basis
and
so
I
think
that's
what
we're
having
to
as
a
as
a
district
grapple
with,
as
as
the
requirement
comes
in
for
assistant
principals,
to
to
teach
part
of
their
day,
how
do
we
ensure
that
that
doesn't
impact
the
other
duties
and
responsibilities
of
that
role?.
D
And
and
if
I
can
just
tag
on
so
miss
Frank
with
this
assistant
principle
piece,
we
I
don't
know
that
it
would
be
a
major
issue
at
the
at
the
secondary
level
because
they
have
multiple
administrators.
It's
the
elementary
level
where
this
would
this.
This
push
could
be
pretty
detrimental
and,
and
one
of
the
things
I've
heard
going
into
each
of
the
cluster
meetings
right
before
listening
and
learning
tours
is
for
those
administrators
who
are
at
the
school
by
themselves.
D
They
don't
have
any
other
support
whatsoever
and
so
in
in
some
cases,
if
you're
spending
a
lot
of
your
time
having
to
do
504
having
to
do
IEPs
right,
there's
no
way
that
you're
going
to
have
time
just
in
your
regular
schedule.
How
do
you
even
get
the
time
that
you
need
to
get
into
classrooms
to
do
proper
observations
and
get
feedback,
so
we're
thinking
about
that
and
I
think
the
reason
why
we
made
the
request
for
12.
D
We
knew
we
couldn't
ask
for
all
35
of
them,
but
ultimately
the
goal
is
to
get
whole
in
every
single
one
of
our
schools,
which
would
then
allow
for
us
to
truly
be
able
to
adhere
to
what
blueprint
is
is
calling
for
when
you
talk
about
the
percentage
of
time
that
administrators
need
to
spend
in
the
classroom.
Still,
you
know,
teaching.
F
Okay,
thank
you
for
that
and
I
do
appreciate.
Your
budget.
I
did
not
fall
out
of
my
chair
this
year
reading
over
it,
so
it
was
well
done.
F
One
thing
that
I
frequently
bring
up
since,
since
this
is
your
first
budget
I
always
say
the
percentage
of
increase
year
over
year
should
reflect
the
increase
in
the
community.
Now,
unfortunately,
this
year
is
a
little
different
in
that
the
percentage
of
inflation
has
gone
up
so
high,
so
our
budget
does
not
far
exceed
the
percentage
of
inflation,
so
at
least
in
that
that
point
of
view,
it
certainly
makes
sense
what
you're,
asking
and
I
do
see
where
you
you,
smartly
reallocated
money.
So
I
did
appreciate
that.
F
My
last
question
is
just
to
ask
a
clarifying
question
on
what
Mrs
shulheim
stated.
I
did
not
serve
with
Mr
grannan,
though
I
did
hear
him
speak
several
times
to
clarify
moving
money
from
one
categories
to
another.
I
I
thought
that
when
Mr
granan
spoke
I
hope
he
hears
this.
This
is
gonna.
F
This
is
gonna
make
his
day
when
he
spoke,
I
thought
his
statements
were
geared
towards
making
the
budget
the
board's
budget
and
not
the
county
council's
budget
to
make
sure
that
any
reductions
are
are
intentional
by
the
board
and
not
something
that
the
County
Council
can
go
in
and
and
remove
money
from
a
category
that
we
may
actually
have
prioritized
over
what
they
end
up.
Removing.
Is
there
a
once
the
County
Council
goes
through
and
and
submits
before
we
approve
our
final
budget?
F
E
But
basically,
you
know
what
happens
is
any
and
you're
more
than
willing,
as
a
or
more
than
within
your
right
as
a
board
to
move
money
between
categories
with,
but
again
the
minute
we
do
that
it
requires
Council
approval,
okay,
and
so
you
know,
I
I
understood
what
Mr
Graham
was
kind
of
where
he
was
coming
from
and
what
he
was,
what
he
was,
what
he
was
saying,
but
the
process
still
is
regardless
of
what
money
we
switch
around
into
which
categories
that
still
requires
County
Council
authorization,
and
you
know
for
a
council
to
adopt
something
on
June
15th.
E
E
About
you
know
so,
and
so
I
just
you
know,
I
I
I
give
you
that,
as
a
you
know,
just
a
sort
of
my
my
observation
and
going
through
the
process
a
few
years
ago.
E
It
is
yeah,
but
but
I
do
think
that
with
Dr
bedell's
leadership,
that
the
lines
of
communication
between
us
and
the
administration
and
us
in
the
County
Council
will
be
open
and
that,
hopefully
we
don't
see
any
surprise,
Cuts
or
surprise
funding
right.
That's
that's!
The
goal
here
is
to
kind
of
do
this
in
Partnership.
That's.
F
My
concern,
too,
this
is
a
different
budget
year,
so
I
I
want
to
make
sure
that
if,
if
we
have
really
specific
priorities
that
those
do
not
get
overlooked,
so
how
do
we
best
achieve
that?
Is
it
to
shave
a
little
off
before
we
take
it
to
the
County
Council?
Is
it
to
make
sure
that
they
don't
shave
anything
off
that
we
would
really
want
once
they
receive
it?
You
know
what
what
is
the
and
I
think
everybody
is
sort
of,
echoing
that
same
sentence.
E
E
From
my
perspective,
Miss
Frank,
you
already
have
okay,
which
is
the
your
vote
in
October
as
to
what
this
board
wanted
to
see
in
the
superintendent's
request
and
I
think
we
will,
as
we
communicate
to
the
county
executive
in
that
next
phase,
that
vote
will
sort
of
dictate.
How
and
what
we
communicate
to
the
executive.
D
So
I
just
told
Madam
president.
This
is
where
stuff
goes
over
my
head
right
because.
D
Miss,
Ellis
and
and
Miss
Frank,
to
be
very
clear
with
you
that
if
we
get
locked
in
and
then
we
need
to
make
some
pivots
I,
don't
know
how
difficult,
because
I
haven't
been
through
it,
how
difficult
it
would
be,
and
then
what
does
that
make
us
look
like
to
the
county?
You
know:
hey,
you
guys
are
all
over
the
place.
You
don't
know
what
you're
doing
now.
The
reality
is
most
school
districts
around
the
country
make
pivots
throughout
the
year
and
they
don't
get
judged
for
doing
it.
A
C
Yeah,
we
will
do
a
second
round,
so
I'd
I'd
just
like
to
jump
in
and
then
we'll
go
around.
So
first
of
all,
yes
welcome
to
Maryland,
there's
good
and
there's
bad
with
it
right.
I
do
think,
however,
what
Mr
sansky
as
I
understand
it
has
been
saying
to
us
in
different
ways
in
response
to
I.
Think
several
versions
of
this
question
that
have
come.
We've
already
made
a
statement
as
the
Board
of
Education.
What
our
priorities
are.
It
is
our
job
to
Advocate.
C
C
This
is
the
real
cost
of
what
we
actually
need
and
as
Dr
Bedell
made
it
very
clear
when
you
presented
the
budget
to
us
and
as
you've
said
tonight,
there
were
things
you
didn't
ask
for
that.
You
need
new
teachers,
for
example,
so
it's
not
as
if
we
haven't
already
made
Cuts
but
I
think
the
argument
in
my
mind-
and
it's
it's
here.
You
know
in
every
statement
in
the
budget
book,
which
is
if
this
x
doesn't
get
funded.
C
I
am
thankful
for
what
seemed
to
me
to
be
very
good
and
open
lines
of
communication
at
this
point
and
I
think
that
is
all
to
the
good
for
ultimately
for
our
students,
because
if
we
have
those
communication
lines
open,
we
can
advocate
for
this
and
I
think
I
think
there's
much
Dr
Bedell
there's
much
to
unfold
yet
in
the
budget
season
here,
because
the
county
executive
has
his
own
case
to
make
which
he
will
be
making,
and
so
you
know
we're
part
of
that
and
then
ultimately,
the
County
Council
will
make
its
decisions,
and
so
there
are
many
things
to
unfold.
C
We
have
some
capacity,
I
mean
the
big
moves,
perhaps
that
were
being
referred
to
earlier
in
moving
whole
categories.
Now,
that's
not
a
simple
process,
albeit
not
an
impossible
one,
but
the
ability
to
Pivot
Lord
knows:
we've
done
it.
We
did
it
in
covid
and
again
the
case
has
to
be
made.
That's
our
job.
If
something
comes
up
so
I
would
just
suggest
that
you're
right,
Dr
Bedell,
some
of
this
has
to
unfold.
C
You
will
see
as
you
move
through
I
am
I.
Do
believe.
That,
what's
in
here
is
what
is
in
fact
necessary
and
I.
Think
accountability
goes
two
ways.
We
are
accountable
as
a
board
for
making
a
decision
about
what
we
believe
the
priorities
are,
and
we
have
done
that
our
funders
need
to
be
accountable
for
their
decisions.
C
If
things
don't
get
funded,
we
need
to
be
clear
about
what
that
means
for
our
students
and
so
I
think
we
just
have
to
be
very
straight
about
that
with
our
with
our
funders
one
mind,
really
the
area
I
intended
to
mention
something
about
before
making
that
statement.
C
C
Thus
far
the
the
Spanish
language,
Facebook
page,
various
other
things,
I
agree
that
we
continue
to
have
needs
in
that
area
and
so
I'm
I'm
very
glad
to
see
that,
because
I
think
we
have
seen
that
feedback
in
the
town
halls,
and
it's
just
evident
that
that
is
something
that
given
the
demographics
of
of
the
community
and
the
trajectory
of
demographics,
is
very
important
and
so
I
just
wanted
really
to
make
that
comment.
I
don't
have
additional
questions.
My
questions
have
mostly
been
answered,
so
I'm
going
to
do,
offer
everybody
another
round.
C
Ms
Ellis.
Do
you
have
additional
questions.
H
I
do
thank
you.
First,
just
kind
of
a
side
note:
the
Virtual
Academy
has
come
up
a
few
times
and
the
Virtual
Academy
was
new
and
it
was
brought
about
to
meet
a
specific
need
during
a
very
unusual
time.
H
H
But
so
for
me
before
we
start,
you
know
asking
for
more
money
and
trying
to
increase
that
we
need
to.
We
need
to
I,
think
make
some
decisions
about
who
this
applies
to
and
and
what
it
would
look
like.
So
I
I
would
like
a
workshop
on
the
Virtual
Academy
sometime
in
the
not
too
distant
future
that
that
could
be
very
helpful
and
I.
H
Don't
think
it
would
apply
to
this
budget
cycle,
but
just
going
forward
and
then
okay,
so
back
to
making
decisions
and
and
who's
responsible
for
what
I
did
hear
Dr
tuba,
making
a
good
point
that
this
is
the
cost
of
Education
I.
H
Think
you
know:
we've
all
stated
that
we
see
this
budget
and
we
we
see
the
needs
and
and
we're
very
much
behind
our
superintendent
on
those
decisions,
but
knowing
roughly
what
is
coming
as
far
as
funding
wise,
who
should
decide
where
that
money
goes
and
should
we
be
looking
at
it
that
if
we
make
some
of
those
tough
choices,
it
could
go
a
long
way
in
a
good
faith
effort
to
be
realistic
with
our
budget
and
give
our
County
electives
less
responsibility
to
have
to
make
those
choices.
H
So
that
being
said,
can
we
just
real
quickly
walk
through,
because
I
know
it's
not
very
complicated,
but
it
kind
of
it
can
get
confusing
a
little
bit.
Who
does
what?
So
we
had?
Our
superintendent
brought
us
a
recommended
budget,
and
then
we
have.
The
board
is
now
considering
this
budget.
The
board
will
pass
a
budget
onto
to
the
county
executive.
What
is
the
county
executive
able
to
do
with
that
budget?
H
In
other
words,
he's
he's
he's
not
going
to
add
to
it
correct,
but
he
can
cut
it
right
and
he
can
cut
it
from
various
areas
and
then,
when
he
passes
it
on
to
the
County
Council,
what
are
the
constraints
that
they
have?
What
are
they
able
to
do.
G
E
So
there's
a
minimum
floor
for
County
funding
right
the
state
number
and
the
federal
number
they
tend
to.
They
don't
mess
with
right.
They
confirm
it
from
through
the
state
budget,
and
you
know
that
can
go
to
fund
initiatives,
sort
of
below
the
line
on
the
sheet
right
yeah.
So
he
essentially
could
cut.
E
You
can't
add:
there's
not
programs
that
he
can
add
that
we
didn't
ask
for
right
correct
and
he
certainly
can't
or
wouldn't
fund
more
than
what
we're
asking
for,
but
then,
when
it
gets
to
the
council
as
long
as
it's
within
the
maintenance
of
effort
number,
they
could
make
additional
cuts
to
to
the
School
District
budget
to
fund
other
initiatives
or
the
opposite
can
happen,
which
is
typically.
What
happens?
Is
the
council
can
cut
other
requested
County
agency
funding
and
move
that
over
to
fund
additional
School
District
things
items
that
we've
requested.
E
County
executive
can
determine
what
the
revenue
number
is,
but
they
could
certainly
cut
from
the
you
know:
public
works,
you
know
half
a
million
dollars
for
XYZ
to
move
it
over
to
the
school
district,
and
so
when
you
sit
through
the
County
Council
budget
process,
they
have
similar
to
it.
You
know
we
have
an
amendment
process
there.
They
typically
have
amendments
into
the
hundred
and
in
its
record
recommendations,
and
they
either
vote
them
up
or
down,
and
so
then
they
get
to
a
bottom
line.
Number
like
okay.
E
H
E
Comes
to
us
to
essentially
certify
like
okay
right.
This
is
this
is
by
the
13
or
what
is
it?
15
State
categories
here
is
where
the
the
the
county
has
budgeted
your
dollars.
Do
you
agree?
Yes,
if
you
don't,
you
can
certainly
vote
to
transfer
money
from
one
state
category
to
another.
Then
that
goes
back
to
the
County
Council
for
right.
So.
H
The
County
Council
is
handing
our
budget
to
us
and
saying
this
is
your
budget
and
for
us
to
then
move
money
between
categories.
We're
basically
saying
we
disagree
with
the
budget.
You
just
gave
us
and
we
want
you
to
do
this
right
and
they've
already
they've
already
considered
our
budget
right
and
that's
not
the
same
as
asking
for
a
transfer
like
mid-year,
because.
F
C
If
I
just
could
interject
a
moment-
and
let's
be
a
little
careful
here-
I
I
appreciate
Ms
Ellis,
asking
us
to
walk
through
the
process
and
I
think
that
was
useful.
The
Precision
of
this
I
think
we're
asking
Mr
stansky
to
step
into
territory
that
technically
could
be
territory
or
should
be
territory.
We
might
go
to
council
for
when
it
gets
to
some
of
these
very
precise
places.
So
I
think
we
just
have
to
be
a
little
careful
in
this
Arena
of
getting
too
specific
I
think
you
know,
I.
H
E
E
E
C
You
Mrs
corkito.
H
B
I
had
one
follow-up
question
occurred
to
me
and
my
apologies
so
I
wanted
to
just
briefly
talk
about
Community
ambassadors,
I'm,
a
firm
believer
of
field
and
boots
on
the
ground
working
directly
with
folks
and
I.
Think
we've
seen
some
very
good
progress.
B
The
reports
that
the
board
has
heard
are
actual
tangible
examples
of
progress
being
made
and
families
dynamically
changing
for
the
better
and
thusly
the
students
and
and
interactively
you
know,
that's
an
interactive,
so
we
now
have
I
I
think
gone
a
little
further
in
the
definition
from
where
we
were
targeting
our
our
targets
were,
if
my
recollection,
they
were,
there
was
a
little
bit
of
poverty
map
in
it,
combined
with
a
little
bit
of
you
know,
Title
One
is
sitting
in
there
and
some
farms,
and
also
our
data
of
the
outcomes
in
particular
groups
and
working
and
providing
yet
another
opportunity.
B
B
I
thought
the
the
overarching
idea
was
to
get
community
Ambassador
type
positions,
engaging
with
the
students
and
the
families
to
to
reduce
the
gaps
and
to
give
those
students
who
need
that
extra
opportunity
that
dedicated
support,
so
we
will
have
unfortunately
in
Anne
Arundel,
we
have
I
think
quite
a
few
schools
that
are
going
to
have
those
needs
and
though
we've
seen
those
needs,
expand
and,
of
course
seeing
the
2.0
I
know
former
board
member
live
and
I
initiated
that
with
Miss
Antoine
years
ago
and
always
asks
the
question
and
I
always
ask
every
single
year.
B
Do
you
need
more,
and
there
was
one
year
where
we
didn't
the
rest
of
the
years
have
been
a
yes
and
and
so
we're
moving
those
two
in
and
so
I
I?
Guess
it's
a
two-part
question
number
one
is
what
is
the
community
ambassador's
role
relative
to
a
school
that
is
a
community
school
and
to
those
that
are
not?
B
And
then,
second
to
that,
are
we
anticipating
the
need
to
increase
overall
in
the
program
that
that
that's
going
to
bring
us
to
where
we
need
to
be
in
the
in
that
blueprint
environment
in
those
challenge?
Schools,
or
is
this
something
that
will
be
phased
into
something
slightly
different
or
will
be
repurposed
in
the
schools
that
are
not
Community
eligible,
because
this
community
schools
in
theory
will
be
receiving
these
additional
services?
B
That
may
include
things
that
our
community
ambassadors
are
currently
doing
and
because,
as
I
mentioned,
when
we
were
discussing
our
first,
our
blueprint,
Workshop
I,
am
concerned
about
those
schools.
Who
are
ineligible
for
the
definition
and
speaking
of
budget
and
limited
funds
that
puts
us
in
a
predicament
of
having
you
know
to
do
that
targeting
successfully
or
any
insight.
Now
it
doesn't
have
to
be
so.
E
I
think
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
answer
good
question
to
Scorpio,
so
I
think
for
the
community
school
program
for
right
now
because
of
the
definition
they
are
exclusively
outside
of
Phoenix
Academy.
They
are
exclusively
elementary
schools
right,
and
so
we
have
a
community
school
program
coordinator
at
each
one
of
those
15
elements.
You
know
15
schools,
again
vast
majority
Elementary,
and
so
with
the
community
ambassadors.
E
Prior
to
this,
the
blueprint
and
prior
to
you
know
the
implementation
of
community
schools
and
so
I
I
think
you
know,
the
role
of
the
community
Ambassador
is
going
to
remain
the
same,
which
is
to
really
focus
on
those
middle
and
high
schools
in
those
High
need
clusters,
and
what
you
see
is
our
proposal
is
the
recognition
of
the
work
those
folks
are
doing
and
to
make
two
of
these.
E
What
they're,
they're,
currently
temporary
positions
in
our
district,
to
make
them
full
time
and
and
you'll
what
you'll
probably
see,
is
again
a
multi-year
phase
and
to
eventually
make
all
of
these
Community
Ambassador
programs,
Community
ambassadors
positions,
full-time
benefited
employees
because
right
now,
they're
not
and
again,
to
your
point,
probably
needing
to
focus
in
those
clusters
that
are
high
poverty,
but
the
schools
within
those
clusters
that
don't
qualify
for
community
school
funding.
B
Okay,
so,
and
then,
because
I
did
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up,
because
I
was
looking
for
it
in
the
budget
and
it
used
to
sit
in
one
category
and
it's
not
in
there
in
that
category
anymore,
and
so
we
were
what
it
at
a
six
and
a
half
bodies.
I
believe
like
I,
forget
the
number
of
ftes.
Was
it
six
and
a
half
positions,
or
did
we
go
up
to
maybe
seven
or
eight
or
we're
up
to
eight
okay?
So
so
we're
currently
at
eight.

Okay,
going
back
to
the
previous
conversation
a
little
bit
about
being
able
to
Pivot
and
about
being
able
to
do
what
we
need
to
do.
We
continually
regularly
ask
for
transfers
throughout
the
year.
Second
quarter.
Fourth
quarter,
so
there
should
be
no
fear
of
our
own
shadow
or
anyone
else's
about
being
able
to
Pivot.
E
It's
very
possible
that
they
could
and
I
think
to
I
think
Dr
Patel's
point.
The
the
dependent
organization
that
is
school
districts
in
Maryland
is
unique
right.
Most
most
school
boards
have
their
own
taxing,
Authority
and
but
I
also
think
to
clear.
The
state
category
piece
is
also
unique:
yep
yeah.
So,
while
that's
right,
School
boards
have
to
report
to
their
state
entities
in
some
form
of
of
categorical
funding
or
category
categories
to
to
fulfill
their
Federal
requirements.
E
D
E
So
we
adopt
each
one
of
those
and
we
have
to
come
within
those
appropriation
maximums
for
all
15
and
then,
if,
if
we
anticipate
that
we
don't,
then
those
transfers
come
into
play
where
we
have
to
then
move
money,
whereas
is
I'm
sure
Dr
Bedell
is
used
to
you
just
go
to
your
board
and
make
those
transfers
without
much
fanfare.
The
process
is
a
little
more
drawn
out
in
Maryland.
Some
would
say
it
holds
districts
more
accountable,
I'm,
not
here
to
opine,
whether
that's
true
or
not,
but
it
is.
G
D
G
D
G
Absolutely
coming
growing
up
in
a
in
a
bond
State
and
you
you
know,
sometimes
things
don't
get
funded
and
then
what
do
you
do?
You
know
there's
no
fallback
and
then
the
only
other
thing
I
wanted
to
say
in
this
to
your
list
of
dates.
I
just
want
to
add
a
couple
of
things
to
it,
so
the
accounting
Executive
also
does
town
halls
with
every
councilmanic
District
Council
two
is
already
gone,
but
there's
all
the
rest
of
them.
G
Yet
to
go
and
District
three
is
this
Thursday
at
six
at
Chesapeake,
District
One
is
January
25th
at
Mead.
District
Seven
is
January
31st
at
Southern.
District
Six
is
on
February,
2nd
at
Annapolis,
District
5,
February,
8th
Severna,
Park,
District,
4,
February,
9th
Arundel,
and
then
they
have
a
Spanish
wide
to
because
they
utilized
our
great
idea
and
they're
doing
a
spanish-wide
all-county
one
that
I
believe
is
virtual
on
the
13th.
All
of
those
are
at
6
pm
and
they're
all
readily
accessible
on
the
county,
executive's
social
media.
C
I
Oh
yeah
I
just
had-
and
this
might
be
a
bit
too
much
into
the
details.
So
it's
totally
fine.
If
you
need
to
get
back
on
me
on
this,
but,
as
you
said,
I
the
125,
that's
like
the
average
wage.
That's
going
to
happen
with
the
increase
or
The
Substitute
Teacher
I
was
wondering:
do
we
have
the
an
idea
for
the
average
wage
of
like
gay
bus
driver
if
we
implement
this
10
Cola.
C
Thank
you,
Mr
silkworth
thank.
J
You,
president
Tolman
I,
don't
have
a
question.
I
do
have
a
comment
and
it
is
I'm
kind
of
a
very
positive
kind
of
a
guy,
and
so
I
have
every
faith
and
trust
in
my
colleagues
on
this
board
that
the
budget
that
we
finally
approve
will
be
what
our
students
will
need.
I
then
also
trust
in
Dr
Bedell,
based
upon
his
relationships,
he's
already
created
with
so
many
stakeholders
that
he
will
be
able
to
help
us
talk
to
our
County.
C
You
heard
it
here:
okay,
Miss,
Frank,.
A
F
No
I,
just
I,
do
I,
do
appreciate
everyone's
work
on
it.
I
love
to
talk
literature
with
Dr
Tobin,
it's
one
of
our
my
favorite
pastimes
of
the
board.
Actually,
no
I
appreciate
everyone's
work
on
this
I
I
have
some
very
pointed
questions.
I
have
a
lot
to
take
in
I'm
I'm.
Certainly
you
know
trying
to
absorb
everything
and
and
I
appreciate
everyone's
time
here
tonight,
taking
the
time
to
come
out
and
walk
us
through.
F
C
Thank
you,
Miss
Frank,
you
know,
I
have
one
small
question:
I
forgot
to
ask,
and
it's
perfectly
fine.
If
you
get
back
to
me
later,
I
was
looking
at
the
the
Esser
science
of
reading
funding,
and
this
is
for
the
letters
training
and
it's
about
550
K.
How
many
teachers
does
that?
C
Does
that
amount
to
and
I
mean
again,
you
don't
need
to
give
me
that
right
now,
but
I
know
previously,
it
was
one
per
school
and
so
at
some
point,
if
I
should
have
included
it
in
my
original
questions,
if
somebody
could
just.
F
C
And
be
very
grateful,
so
I
think
everybody's
had
an
opportunity.
I
want
to
thank.
Thank
you
again.
Thank
you,
Dr
Bedell.
Thank
you
to
Mr
stansky
to
all
the
staff.
I
think
this
has
has
always
been
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
dig
in
as
Miss
Frank
said.
This
is
really
one
of
our
critical
functions
in
any
given
year.
Did
you
have
some
things
to
say.
G
D
But
before
you
close
out,
yeah,
hey
I,
turn
it
on
and
turn
it
off
real
quick.
B
D
And
it
really
goes
back
to
what
Michelle
Hein
brought
up
about
those
different
Town
Hall
meetings
that
the
county
executive
is
having.
We
have
to
get
our
people
out
there,
one
way
or
another.
You
know
to
help
support
what
we
want
in
this
budget
and
I
think
as
you've
heard
from
Mr
stansky
when
he
went
over
to
five
areas
of
priority.
D
We
tried
to
build
this
budget
around
adhering
to
those
priorities,
while
also
adhering
to
what
blueprint
is
dictating
of
us
and
then
with
some
fundamental
one-on-one,
Common
Sense
things
that
we
need
to
be
asking
for
in
order
to
be
a
competitive,
School,
District
and
I
do
believe
that
there's
an
appetite
from
our
accounting
executive
to
do
as
much
as
he
can
possibly
do
to
support
us.
D
But
I
do
think
that
if
we
can
help
get
people
out
to
show
up
at
those
budget
hearings
and
to
continue
to
Advocate
on
our
behalf,
it
makes
it
a
lot
easier,
I
think
to
get
closer
to
some
of
the
things
that
we
want,
and
that
would
be
my
encouragement
to
everybody
in
this
room.
But
anybody
who's
listening
Let's
help
get
people
to
show
up
so
that
we
can
Advocate
on
on
our
behalf.
That's
it.
C
Yeah
well
said:
Dr,
Bedell
and
I
would
just
say.
Also
I
made
an
Ask
last
week
when
several
of
us
were
at
the
opening
of
the
Abbott
conference.
Also
to
ask
our
students
who
have
things
they
want
to
tell
us
to
please
come
to
our
budget,
halt
town
halls
and
testify
come
to
the
county
Executives
and
when
we
know
the
dates
for
the
County
Council
testimony,
no
one
is
more
impacted
than
they
are
and
Mr
McGrath
I
saw
your
Leica
one.
Oh.
I
This
reminds
me
I
I,
don't
think
I
can
use
a
specific
name,
but
there
is
an
aacps
student
who
was
I,
think
seeing
the
national
anthem
at
governor
elect
Moore's
inauguration.
C
Yes,
okay,
well,
I.
Think
that
concludes
our
work.
For
tonight
we
will
be
back
here
tomorrow
night
at
6
30
in
case
you've
missed
us,
and
so
everybody
have
a
good
night
and
we
will
see
you
tomorrow.
Thank
you.
