Yes,
I
understand
that
yesterday
the
secretaries
and
assistants
Association
ratified
a
tentative
agreement
for
fiscal
year,
2018
dr.
R
lotto.
If
the
board
ratifies
that
tentative
agreement
today,
how
does
that
work
in
conjunction
with
the
funding
the
County
Council
set
aside
for,
say
AK
in
the
CA
o
contingency
fund?
In
other
words,
how
would
we
go
about
getting
that
money
to
our
seyh
Act
members?
Yes,.
E
Ma'am,
it's
a
so
we'll
have
to
now
go
through
a
process,
as
you
will
go
through
the
adoption
of
the
budget
today,
the
monies
that
were
originally
set
aside
for
say
act
by
the
an
earmark
by
this
board
in
your
budget
request
were
taken
out
when
during
the
county
council's
deliberations
and
that
money
was
set
up
in
a
contingency
fund.
So
that's
not
in
another
account
that
we
don't
have
access
to.
Yet
as
we
go
through
the
ratification
process.
E
If
you
do
choose
to
move
the
board
chooses
to
move
through
that
process
and
ratify
the
contract,
we
then
have
to
request
those
monies
from
the
caos
contingency
fund
back
to
our
budget
and
we'll
go
through
the
process.
I
have
to
the
processes
and
I'll
have
to
write
a
letter
to
the
county
executive
requesting
those
funds.
What
we
call
first
quarter
transfer
it's
not
unknown
to
you.
You've
gone
through
that
process
in
moving
funds
in
the
past
during
parts
of
the
year
I'll
make
that
request.
The
county
executive
then
has
to.
E
He
then
has
to
write
a
piece
of
legislation
that
gets
introduced
on
his
behalf
to
the
County
Council.
The
County
Council
won't
have
to
go
through
their
public
process
in
a
public
here
and
several
public
hearings
to
adopt
that
piece
of
legislation
to
move
the
money
from
the
caos
contingency
fund.
Back
into
your
account
once
it's
in
our
account,
then
we
can
go
through
the
process.
The
HR
and
payroll
process
to
pay
our
employees
so
and.
D
E
D
Okay,
given
that
I
have
two
motions:
first
I
move
that
we
change
item
5.06
to
reflect
the
board's
consideration
to
ratify
the
FY
2018
tentative
agreements.
They
act
rather
than
enact
the
terms
of
employment
and
that
we
add
to
the
agenda
item
5.08,
titled,
FY,
2017,
prescription,
copay
modification
for,
say,
AK,
further,
I
move.
We
take
up
item
5.08
out
of
order
and
place
it
before
item
5.06.
D
Second,
motion
is
to
add
item
five
point:
zero
nine
title;
first
quarter;
budget
fund,
supplemental
and
transfer
request
for
FY
2018
to
the
agenda
as
an
action
item
to
address
the
say:
AK
funding
from
the
county
conditional
on
the
board's
ratification
of
the
say
at
negotiating
entire.
In
this
meeting.
F
C
She
has
set
her
future
goals.
High
and
I
know
that
there
is
absolutely
nothing
that's
going
to
stop
her
from
achieving
them,
she's,
also
a
most
excellent
public
speaker
skills
that
are
going
to
serve
you
very
well,
especially
compared
to
many
of
your
peers.
Those
are
skills
that
I
I,
don't
see
in
a
lot
of
young
people
and
and
you're
just
amazing,
and
the
board
wanted
to
recognize
you
today
with
a
clock
that
you
can
keep
in
your
dorm
room.
So
you
can
make
sure
you
get
to
class
on
time.
G
I
bring
my
Kleenex,
it's
really
been
a
pleasure
to
serve
with
you
this
year,
I've
served
with
ten
student
board
members
and
you
have
been
one
of
the
most
remarkable
as
as
Stacey
stated,
your
your
eloquent.
You
are
able
to
address
in
an
insightful
caring
manner.
Many
different
topics
that
have
come
up.
You
always
keep
the
interest
of
students
at
heart
and
you,
you
have
really
been
a
pleasure
and
can't
wait
to
watch
your
successes
at
Howard.
G
I
know
we're
going
to
be
hearing
about
you
and
I
hope
you
come
back
and
share
some
of
those
with
us.
We've
enjoyed
it
when
our
student
board
members
have
come
back.
Thank
you
so
much
because
whether
people
realize
it
or
not
the
student
board
members
job
is
really
hard.
They
have
to
maintain
their
grades.
G
H
H
As
mrs.
nalli
said,
our
student
board
members
have
always
been
phenomenal.
Carolyn
is
absolutely
no
exception.
In
fact
she
has
been.
You
know
at
probably
more
prepared
than
most
of
us
and
she
does
an
excellent
job.
We
had
the
opportunity
to
see
her
speak
to
a
group
of
our
AAC
PS
leaders
yesterday
and
I
think
that
she
knocked
the
socks
off
of
all
of
them,
and
we
know
that
she
can
be
a
leader
anywhere
that
she
goes.
She
has
brought
a
remarkable
perspective
as
a
student
leader
this
year.
H
D
Just
echoing
what
it
is,
Carolyn
you've
brought
a
unique
and
valuable
perspective
to
everything
that
we
have
and
you've
always
spoken
up
for
our
most
needy
children
and
our
most
needy
students,
and
we
are
so
grateful
that
you
have
made
a
huge
contribution
to
this
school
system
and
to
this
board
and
I.
Wish
you
nothing
but
the
best
I'm.
Looking
forward
to
what
seeing
you
speak
on
television
in
years
to
come
as
you
move
forward
in
throughout
your
career
and
continue
to
make
a
difference
in
the
world.
Misako
Carolyn.
B
I
Gilliland,
thank
you,
madam
president.
Carolyn
I
want
to
just
echo
some
of
what's
been
said,
and
you
know
Beauvoir.
Thank
you
for
your
service,
but
but
really
in
particular,
two
key
areas.
One
is
for
raising
the
bar
again.
I
said
this
to
mr.
horse
camp
last
year,
and-
and
it
certainly
applies
here-
you
have
raised
the
bar
and
you've
left
big
shoes
for
your
successor,
and
my
hope
is
that
you've
really
set
a
path
for
her
to
follow
so
that
she
can
do
the
same,
and
and
that's
really
what
it's
about.
I
The
second
is
that
you've
given
voice
for
people
who've
needed
it
and
again
I
just
can't
stress
how
important
that's
been
and
I
can
assure
you
that
that
voice
will
continue
to
be
served
here,
and
you
know
I
really
do.
Thank
you
and
appreciate
all
that
you've
done
there.
The
year
has
flown
by.
It
seems
like
yesterday
that
we
just
started
on
this
path
together
and
I.
I
can't
underscore
enough
how
much
you
will
reap
the
benefits
of
the
service
and
what
you've
learned
this
year.
It's
going
to
help
you
not
just
in
college.
I
I
can't
attest
to
the
bowling
part
at
at
Howard,
but
it
will
help
you
College
and
then
I
can
assure
you.
It
will
help
you
in
your
professional
career
when
you
show
up
on
day
one
of
your
first
post
college,
job
and
you're
the
youngest
person
in
the
room.
You
really
won't
be
because
you're
bringing
an
experience
that
very
few
have
had
and
and
I
can
assure
you
that
that
will
speak
volumes
in
years
to
come.
So,
lastly,
I
will
say:
you've
made
this
board
a
better
place
to
be
so.
Thank
you
for
that.
That's.
C
J
I
want
to
thank
you
personally
because,
in
addition
to
your
service
to
the
entire
community
out
here,
you
helped
make
me
in
my
first
year,
I
hope
a
little
bit
better
of
a
board
member,
because
I
think
your
informal
advice
to
me
when
I've
just
asked
you
what
a
students
think
about
this.
You
know
what
do
you
all
think
about
this?
You
know
what
is
a
high
school
senior
think
about
this,
that
that's
a
perspective
that
you
know.
E
Thank
you,
Carolyn.
You
and
I
had
a
chance
to
talk.
Yesterday,
you
did
a
fabulous
job.
Speaking
in
front
of
800
of
our
leaders
across
the
county
and
and
I
will
echo
everything
that
has
already
been
said.
You
are
wonderful.
You
have
made
this
a
stronger
Board,
but
more
importantly
for
me-
and
these
are
things
that
we
talked
about
throughout
the
year-
is
you
have
you
have
strengthened
student
voice
across
the
school
system?
Two
of
your
colleagues
are
here
sitting
at
the
back
of
the
room.
They
follow
your
leadership.
E
They
followed
your
calling
and
student
voice
became
much
stronger
this
year
so
know
that,
as
you
leave
us
and
move
forward,
we
are
a
better
school
system
for
that,
not
only
for
your
time
on
the
board,
but
you've
brought
real
voice
to
our
students
and
those
that's
greatly
appreciate
it.
So
with
that
we
have
two
parting
gifts
for
you.
In
addition
to
your
clock,
you
can
hang
this
in
your
dorm
room,
taken.
K
Sorry,
I'm
a
little
sick
number
one
and
number
two,
you
all
known
the
crybaby
by
this
point.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
each
of
you.
I've
said
it
to
my
friends.
I've
said
it
to
my
family.
I've
said
it
to
people
that
I've
met
at
conferences,
I
enjoy
coming
to
work,
I
enjoy
working
with
each
of
you
up
here
and
I've
gained
so
many
different
perspectives
by
working
with
you
and
connecting
with
each
of
you
on
an
individual
level
that
I
can't
thank
you
enough
for
that
and
to
the
staff.
K
Thank
you
all
so
much
I
know
that
you
don't
necessarily
have
chance
to
say
something
to
me
now,
but
just
from
seeing
you
when
I
come
in
the
building
and
all
the
things
that
each
of
you
have
done
for
me
individually,
I
can't
thank
you
and
I
know
that
the
lessons
that
I
have
learned
and
the
relationships
that
I
have
gained
I'm
gonna
treasure
and
keep
with
me
forever.
Diana
and
Molly.
K
K
C
L
And
then
you're
kind
of
done
crying,
but
sorry
for
everyone
who
doesn't
know
me.
My
name
is
Emily
Moser
I,
just
graduated
from
North
County,
High,
School
Carolyn
from
walking
the
mile
and
the
Pacer
test
with
me
in
eighth
grade
making
out
rap
songs.
We
want
to
sitting
on
the
Board
of
Ed
for
Anne
Arundel,
County,
you've
come
so
far
and
I
can't
tell
you
how
proud
I
am
of
all
your
accomplishments.
L
M
Carolyn
from
what
I've
learned
from
you
from
the
past
few
years
and
all
in
my
time
in
crafts
and
my
time
with,
you
is
never
to
jump
to
an
emotional
statement
because
you
always
have
sat
back
took
it
in
and
it
made
an
educated
statement
on
whatever
you
said
and
you're,
just
such
a
great
leader
who
considers
everybody
and
every
possible
cause
and
effect
on
everybody
that
you
represent,
and
everybody
that
you
lead
so
I'm,
proud
to
call
you
a
colleague,
a
co-worker
and
most
of
all,
the
friends.
So
thank
you
for
all
that.
N
C
Kind
of
reiterate
what
what
happened
yesterday
of
Carolyn
and
Teresa
and
I
had
the
chance
to
go
to
the
unlocking
our
potential
conference
and
hear
the
terrific
keynote
speaker
after
a
wonderful
speech
by
Carolyn,
and
it
was
just
a
wonderful
day
for
everybody
who
the
leadership
for
ACPs
a
chance
to
step
back
and
listen
and
learn
and
develop
their
leadership
skills
to
help
us
move
forward
in
the
1718
school
year.
So
thank
you
to
everybody
who
arranged
the
conference.
It
was
a
really
wonderful
day.
C
C
No

okay,

C
O
Although
first
good
morning,
board
of
education,
doctoral,
lado,
Lisa,
Van
Buskirk
start
school
later,
Anne
Arundel
County,
as
we
enjoy
the
day
with
the
most
amount
of
sunshine
I
like
to
change
the
focus
from
what
I
normally
talk
about
the
early
mornings,
I
like
to
talk
about
the
evening
activities
that
would
end
after
today,
sunset
of
8:35
p.m.
soccer
games,
for
instance,
may
not
start
until
7:00
and
about
9:30.
And
if
the
game
is
far
away,
then
students
aren't
getting
home
till
10:30
11:00.
O
O
One
factory
in
Port
Charles
I'd
like
to
contrast
that
with
Maryland's
child
labor
laws,
minors,
14
and
15
years
of
age
may
not
be
employed
a
permit
to
work
before
7:00
a.m.
or
after
8:00
p.m.
arguably
writing
a
school
buses
school
related
and
occurs
before
the
state
of
Maryland
would
otherwise
permit
a
student
to
work.
O
O
There
are
instances
when
school
activities
get
out
late
enough,
that
students
cannot
get
those
eight
hours
of
sleep,
even
if
they
went
right
to
see
if
they
got
home.
If
you
had
intended
the
April
teen
sleep
conference,
you
would
have
heard
doctor
trellis
eyes,
ler
from
heart
recommend
a
minimum
of
11
hours
between
the
end
of
school
activities
and
the
start
of
school
20
years
ago,
as
a
cadet
at
the
Coast
Guard
Academy,
which
are
no
dates
myself.
O
If
I
was
when
I
participated
in
sports
and
we
got
back
after
taps
at
10:00,
we
were
allowed
lay
track
which
allowed
us
to
skip
the
6:00
a.m.
revelry,
the
6:20
formation
and
breakfast
to
allow
a
few
more
minutes
of
sleep.
A
ACPs
students
are
out
just
as
late
with
school
activities
that
aren't
allowed
late
rocket.
O
When
will
better
school
policy
of
spending
parity,
one
upon
which
the
county,
executive
and
County
Council
can
evaluate
against
other
budget
priorities
and
when
you
finally
make
it
a
priority
after
20
years
of
effort
by
between
equations
sure
that
the
sports
and
everything
else
in
the
afternoon
and
evening
aren't
just
pushed
back
so
that
students
are
actually
permitted
that
eight
to
ten
hours
of
sleep
and
finally
miss
Williams
I,
wish
you
luck
at
Howard
and
I
hope
that
you
enjoy
serving
school
after
717
morning.
Thank
you.
P
My
name
is
Julia
house
I'm,
a
proud
parent
of
an
upcoming
second
grade
student
at
Shadyside,
elementary
PTO
vice
president
and
member
of
the
community.
I
am
here
regarding
our
concerns
relating
to
the
overcrowding
2nd
grade
classrooms
at
Shadyside
elementary
school
for
the
2017-2018
school
year
and
the
negative
impact
this
will
not
only
have
on
my
daughter
but
the
other
students
in
the
school
and
the
South
County
community.
We
understand
the
due
to
current
funding.
Shadyside
will
not
be
able
to
secure
a
much
needed
additional
teacher
for
Shadyside
as
parents
and
volunteers
in
the
school.
P
We
were
so
alarmed
to
learn
that
the
current
for
1st
grade
classes
at
chainsaw
elementary
school
with
22
22
students
per
class
will
next
year
will
be
combined
into
3
2nd
grade
classes
of
approximately
28
students
per
class,
the
class
size
of
28
7
to
8
year
old
students
is
not
conductive
for
productive
learning.
A
class
size
of
28
is
unacceptable
at
most
elementary
school
grade
levels,
but
particularly
for
students
in
kindergarten
through
third
grade
where
engagement
and
nurturing
are
imperative.
We
have
a
great.
P
We
have
great
teachers
and
staff
at
Shady
side,
but
even
the
best
teachers
cannot
provide
28
students,
the
individual
they
need
for
the
large
classes.
Moreover,
the
class
sizes
will
make
it
difficult
to
adequately
supervise,
assess
and
engage
students
and
keep
them
safe
at
five
hundred
and
students
at
five
hundred
students
in
Shadyside
Elementary,
it
is
at
a
111
percent
capacity.
Deal
Elementary
is
at
73
percent
capacity.
Lothian
at
81
percent
capacity
and
Tracy's
is
at
91
percent
capacity.
I
understand
that
is
a
much
larger
situation
and
will
take
some
time
to
go
over.
P
But
why
does
Shadyside
Elementary
have
oversized
classrooms
when
other
clusters
in
the
school
other
clusters?
Schools
are
so
under
capacity.
Why
are
deal
elementary
classes
17
to
19
when
Shadyside
is
27
to
29?
A
review
of
the
latest
Maryland
class
size
report
indicates
that
the
average
elementary
school
class
in
in
rhonda
county
should
be
21.5
students
per
class.
P
We
only
asked
for
what
most
of
Anne
Arundel
County
is
already
getting
and
what
is
expected
a
second
grade
class
consistent
with
the
county's
average
that
can
only
be
obtained
by
adding
another
elementary
school
teacher
position
at
Shady
side.
I.
Thank
you
for
the
time
to
listen
and
your
consideration
for
additional
teachers
at
Shady
side.
Q
Hello,
my
name
is
Alison
Cohen
and
first
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
commitment
to
educating
students
in
Anne
Arundel
County.
As
a
classroom
teacher,
we
do
not
always
see
the
progress
at
the
administrative
level,
but
we
know
that
without
such
daily
operations,
classroom
teaching
would
not
be
possible.
I've
always
dreamed
of
becoming
inspirational.
Inspirational
teacher,
like
my
mother.
Q
As
far
as
I
can
remember,
watching
the
classic
light
bulb
moment
from
students
Minds
working
alongside
like-minded
people
participating
in
cooperation
with
families,
as
we
work
to
educate
their
children
and
receiving
amazing
non
materialistic
gifts
from
the
heart
from
students
are
just
a
few
of
the
many
charms
of
teaching.
We
all
love
I'm
a
passionate,
reputable,
intelligent,
ambitious,
rigorous
and
enthusiastic
educator
and
would
do
anything
I
can
to
cultivate
growth,
growth
and
advocate
for
my
students,
as
a
ACPs
interview,
team
stated
right
here
in
May
of
2016,
as
I
relocated
to
Maryland.
Q
I
am
an
ideal
candidate,
however
I'm
also
a
teacher
leaving
this
county,
and
perhaps
the
profession
here
are
some
reasons
why
I
care
deeply
about
the
values
of
public
education.
The
climate
at
the
school
in
which
I
worked,
create
an
environment
where
the
quality
of
teaching
practices,
relationships,
professional
development
and
relationships
with
students
and
families
were
practically
impossible.
It
came
to
my
attention
in
middle
school
years.
Educators
should
not
act
as
hypocrites
if
students
are
prohibited
from
gum
and
low-cut
shirts
and
those
rings
associate
educators.
The
same
goes
for
other
behaviors.
Q
We
are
the
epitome
of
positive
role
models.
If
we
act
as
such,
our
students
will
become
imitations
of
respectful
interactions,
meticulous
work
and
problem-solving
skills
when
the
administration
represents
just
the
opposite.
Both
staff
and
students
are
at
a
loss
as
a
value
for
positive
relations
and
quality
teaching
practices
and
even
less
than
satisfactory
is
not
acceptable
for
any
staff
or
student
working
hard
each
day
to
eliminate
all
gaps
and
elevate
students.
Q
Students
deserve
encouragement,
love
and
evidence-based
educational
practices,
I
believe
teachers
and
other
members
of
the
staff
do
as
well.
Please
contact
me
for
further
information.
Should
you
be
interested
in
ensuring
that
teachers
and
suit
in
every
elementary
school
and
other
schools
succeed
to
their
fullest
potential?
I
will
continue
to
advocate
not
only
for
the
wonderful
students
whom
I
taught
this
year,
but
also
for
the
inspiring,
hard-working
and
underpaid
teachers
who
tirelessly
work
to
teach
them.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
is
there.
Anyone
else
would
like
to
speak
before
the
boards
this
time,
all
right,
we'll
move
on
to
consent
items
so
I
have
a
motion
to
bundle
4.01
through
port
4.15
and
move
them
from
information
to
action
all
those
in
favor.
We
now
have
an
action
item
doctor
a
lot
of
your
recommendation.
Yes,.
J
R
Sir,
for
the
record,
I
love,
Trek,
Novus,
chief
operating
officer
to
begin
with.
This
is
a
revenue
item,
so
it's
not
an
expense
item
for
the
Board
of
Education,
so
the
potential
is
to
garner
revenue
coming
in
as
opposed
to
expenditures
going
out.
So
that's,
first
and
foremost.
The
second
is
that
the
master
leasing
agreement
has
a
financial
structure
that
is
as
such,
upon
the
the
installation
of
the
telecommunications
tower.
R
There
is
an
initial
$25,000
sighting
fee
for
essentially
the
pole,
and
then
there
is
the
each
pole
was
capable
of
carrying
between
one
through
five
carriers:
a
carrier
being
a
telecommunications
service
provider
such
as
a
Verizon
and
AT&T,
a
Sprint
etc.
So
for
each
carrier
that
is
mounted
on
the
pole,
each
additional
carrier,
that's
mounted
on
a
pole.
R
There
is
a
one-time,
$5,000
per
carrier
additional
fee,
and
then
there
is
a
revenue
split
that
occurs
once
the
poles
operational
for
essentially
the
life
of
that
structure
and
again,
depending
on
how
many
carriers
that
the
board
accrues
a
40%
40%
of
the
revenue
generated
from
that
pole
for
the
life
of
that
structure
accrued
to
the
Board
of
Education
as
well.
Okay,.
J
So
to
break
that
down
the
initial
payment
for
the
placement
of
the
pole
is
25,000,
yes,
sir,
then
up
to
5,000
per
carrier.
Yes,
so
up
to
five
carriers
that
could
be
twenty
five
plus
twenty.
That's
fifty
thousand
dollars,
plus
forty
percent
of
the
revenue
stream
that
comes
through
that
Tower
for
perpetuity.
R
J
J
So
I
being
trans,
just
I'm
being
transparent
with
everyone
I'm
asking
these
questions,
because
I
and
I
believe
several
other
board.
Members
have
received
email
inquiries
from
people
in
the
public
asking
about
the
financials
and
I
think
that
those
are
very
valid
concerns
for
those
citizens
to
be
raising,
and
you
you've
answered
these
questions
in
my
satisfaction
and
I
hope
that
addresses
the
concerns
of
those
citizens
as
well.
I
R
I
The
reason
for
my
question
is
not
specifically
germane,
then,
to
this,
given
that
the
stage
is
not
included
but
missus
nalli
and
I
were
at
Savannah
Park
High
School
for
the
evening
high
school
graduation-
and
you
know
I,
don't
wanna
put
words
in
your
mouth.
You
can
insert,
but
we
were
sitting
on
the
stage
you
know
for
a
brand
new
high
school
net
stage
was
practically
destroyed
and
in
the
stage
flooring
about
specifically
and
I
just
want
to
raise
that
as
a
concern
that,
as
those
additional
contracts
come
up,
we
we
potentially
evaluate
them.
I
C
Is
there
any
public
comment?
All
those
in
favor
motion
passes
eight
zero,
zero.
The
next
two
items
are
action.
Items
on
the
budget
item
five
point:
zero:
one
is
fiscal
year,
2018
operating
budget
final
adoption,
doctor
art:
this
is
an
information
to
action
item
to
have
a
motion
to
move
it
from
information
to
action.
Okay,.
B
R
So
we
want
to
walk
you
through
the
changes
that
have
transpired
since
then,
and
specifically
as
of
the
14th
of
June,
the
County
Council,
adopt
adopted
an
ordinance
and
embedded
within
that
ordinance
was
the
appropriation
Authority
for
the
school
district
and
there
were
a
number
of
substantive
changes,
few
but
substantive
regarding
the
differential
between
the
May
1
and
the
June
14th
adopted
budget.
So,
if
you
take
a
look
at
the
exhibit
before
you
on
the
revenue
side,
there
were
two
substantive
changes.
R
One
is
on
the
county
line
item
the
third
line
item
down
highlighted
in
yellow.
There
was
a
decrease
on
the
revenue
side
of
one
point,
885
million
dollars
and
that
revenue
reduction
was
attributable
to
the
amendment
number
80
that
was
enacted
on
on
the
part
of
the
council.
Unanimously
to
delete
the
compensation
and
associated
fixed
charges,
revenue
that
was
affiliated
with
the
bargaining
agreement
for
the
SAC
group
unit,
four,
because
we
did
not
have
an
agreement
at
that
time
clearly
and
therefore
there
was
not
clarity
around
what
the
fiscal
note
on
that
would
be.
R
The
county
was
authorized
to
allocate
up
to
7.5
million
dollars
for
the
board
of
education
outside
of
mo
e
as
a
contribution
towards
the
fixed
charges
category
and
specifically,
as
a
essentially
a
working
fund
that
we
could
use
collaboratively
in
negotiations
with
their
unions
to
help
the
transition
to
a
higher
cost
health
care
model,
inclusive
of
higher
premium,
splits,
higher
co-pays,
higher
out-of-pocket,
maximums,
etc.
So
the
county
executives
budget
on
May
1
didn't
stack
fully
utilize.
R
The
maximum
permissible
amount,
seven
point:
five
million
dollars
that
again
had
been
previously
authorized
up
to
that
amount
by
the
state,
superintendent,
State
Board.
The
council
again
introduced
a
amendment
to
the
budget
that
would
lowered
that
amount
by
1.2
million
dollars,
so
the
amount
lowered
from
7.5
million
down
to
the
6.3
million
it's
before
you
today
again,
that
is
essentially
the
mathematical
or
pro
rata
portion
of
the
7.5.
That's
attributable
to
the
stay
at
bargaining
unit
again,
which
we
did
not
have
an
agreement
at
the
time
of
striking
the
budget.
R
Everything
else
on
the
revenue
side
does
again
match
with
the
previous
presentation
that
was
delivered
just
after
made
the
first
so
going
down
on
the
expense
side,
there's
the
commensurate
offsets.
So
the
first
two
line
items
are
different
than
you:
last
saw:
May
1,
the
compensation
placeholder
and
the
fixed
charges.
R
Placeholder
were
lowered
collectively
by
one
point:
eight
eight,
five
million
dollars
as
I
indicated
earlier
in
a
compensation
area,
and
then,
if
you
go
to
the
very
last
line
on
that
exhibit
at
the
very
bottom
of
the
page,
you'll
see
that
it
now
to
pick
six
point
three
million.
Instead
of
seven
point
five
million-
and
that
is
the
one
point
two
million
dollar
offset,
so
if
you
were
to
lay
the
county
executives
budget
side-by-side
together
with
the
county
councils
adopted,
they
are
exactly
the
same
in
each
and
every
manner.
R
With
the
exception
of
the
one
point,
eight
a
5
million
dollar
say
a
compensation
element
and
the
one
point
two
million
dollar
one-time
exclusionary
offset
element
other
than
that
they
exactly
aligned
both
in
personnel,
counts,
FTE,
o
Authority,
as
well
as
Revenue
and
expenditure
authority.
All
in
year-over-year,
the
budget
that
was
adopted
includes
a
total
of
twenty-nine
point:
zero,
six
1
million
dollars.
It
is
a
two
point:
five
nine
percent
year-over-year
18
over
17
percent
increase
at
the
bottom
line.
That
is
less
than
the
board's
original
request.
R
Remember,
the
request
was
transmitted
to
the
county,
had
a
request
for
fifty
point:
eight
million
dollars.
That
being
said,
it
does
allow
us
to
fully
fund
the
negotiated
contemplated
negotiated
agreements
as
well
as
it
does
provide
some
better
level
of
stability
for
the
healthcare
fund
on
a
going-forward
basis
and
I
believe
what
that
will
conclude
our
remarks
and
it
open
it
up
to
any
questions
you
might
have
Madam
President.
I
Thank
you
again,
madam
president,
I've
got
one
question
that
I
wanted
to
ask,
but,
but
first
just
to
say
thank
you
to
each
of
you
for
shepherding
this
process.
I
know
there
were
a
lot
of
nights,
including
a
midnight
visit
to
the
County
Council
so
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
So
thank
you
for
for
all
of
that.
My
question
is
specific
to
the
healthcare
fund
balance.
I
know
we
are
ending
the
year
with
roughly
7.2
million
in
that
balance.
I
So
that
means
we'll
begin
the
next
fiscal
year
with
with
that
amount,
again
7.2
million
or
so
give
or
take
it's
my
understanding
that
there's
still
work
to
be
done
there
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
your
expert
opinion,
just
forecasting
mechanisms
that
you
have
used
or
are
using.
What
is
your
assessment
of
the
the
health
of
the
healthcare
fund
balance?
I
R
Sir,
so
thank
you
I
guess,
first
and
foremost,
it
was
critically
important
that
we
closed
out
the
FY
17
year
with
the
positive
balance
that
occurred,
largely
as
a
result
of
Avoca
was
just
taken.
This
past
Monday
night,
two
actions
were
enabled
one.
The
county
government
transferred
on
a
permanent
basis,
so
this
is
inside
of
Emily.
They
transferred
an
additional
five
million
dollars
of
revenue
to
the
Board
of
Education,
specifically
prolific
charges,
category
and
then
earlier
just
two
meetings
ago,
this
board
adopted
a
supplemental
budget
transfer
and
adjustment
request
that
was
transmitted
to
the
county.
R
That
also
was
approved
by
the
county
council
just
this
past
Monday
night.
So
those
two
actions
collectively
allowed
us
to
close
the
current
fiscal
year.
On
a
positive
note,
that's
good
news
step
a
as
you
know,
though:
I've
used
the
word
structural
deficit,
many
a
times
for
our
healthcare
fund,
so
we,
while
we're
currently
balanced
in
the
current
fiscal
year
and
are
likely
to
end
in
a
balanced
position.
Hopefully
in
FY
18.
The
structural
balance
essentially
remains.
We
didn't
get
into
this
hole
in
one
fell
swoop:
we're
not
going
to
get
out
of
it.
R
In
one
fell
swoop,
fundamentally,
the
you
know,
the
issue
is
that
the
cost
of
health
care
is
rapidly
outpacing,
the
the
cost
of
all
the
other
segments.
The
business
segments
as
I
alluded
to
earlier
is,
at
the
very
bottom,
an
exhibit.
That's
still
up
on
a
screen.
Our
budget
expanded
by
2.5
9%
all
in,
but
the
cost
of
healthcare
is
escalating
at
a
much
more
rapid
pace.
So,
for
example,
the
traditional
medical
elements
of
health
care
is
expanding,
it
at
least
a
5
to
6%,
and
that's
a
very
wishful
conservative
number
prescription.
R
Medical
costs
are
escalating
at
9
to
10
percent,
with
no
abatement
in
sight.
So
essentially,
the
cost
of
healthcare
is
accelerating
a
much
more
rapid
pace
than
our
ability
to
keep
up
with
it,
and
so,
while
we've
taken
some
actions
to
make
inroads
to
begin
to
add
some
stability
and
slowly
or
Oded
the
structural
deficit,
the
work
is
clearly
not
done.
R
The
discussions
that
we've
had
with
the
county
executive
branch
of
government
accounting,
legislative
branch
of
the
government,
the
superintendent
and
MSD
as
well,
we've
indicated
this
is
going
to
be
a
multi-year
strategy
that
we're
going
to
have
to
continue
to
chip
away
at
it,
both
on
constraining
costs
on
increasing
the
employee
ease
share
and
then
us
as
a
governmental
unit,
both
providing
additional
revenue
into
the
fund,
and/or
reallocating
or
redirecting
monies
internally
towards
the
healthcare
funds.
So,
while
we
bought
a
little
bit
more
time,
mr.
H
You,
madam
president,
I,
want
to
say
thank
you
as
well
for
your
Gilman's
work
on
this
I
know
I'm
grateful
for
the
collegial
manner
in
which
this
was
all
handled.
You
know
the
the
budget
was
passed
without
the
problems
that
have
happened
in
the
past.
Everyone
got
along.
Everyone
was
working
for
a
common
common
good
in
a
common
cause.
The
newspaper
even
talked
about
how
great
it
was
there
weren't
the
issues
in
the
past
years
that
we've
had.
You
know
how
it's
fantastic,
but
I.
Think
as
as
a
county
as
a
board.
H
We
need
to
look
at
this
budget
and
not
just
look
at
what
is
there,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
we're
looking
at
what
isn't
there
we
did
pass.
We
did
get
a
budget
passed
that
keeps
us
able
to
pay
for
our
employees,
health
insurance,
and
we
did
pass
a
budget
that
gives
our
employees
a
pay
raise
this
year
and
that's
great
and
I'm
really
pleased
that
we're
able
to
do
that.
H
But
what
weren't
we
able
to
do,
and
is
that
a
priority
for
us
and
for
our
County,
not
just
for
the
school
system
but
for
our
county
as
a
whole,
and
we
need
to
think
about
that
as
as
a
community
as
a
community?
What
are
our
priorities?
Is
it
a
priority
for
us
to
have
well
paid
teachers,
we're
able
to
give
them
a
staff
increase
this
year,
but
is
that
enough?
We
weren't
able
to
do
what
we
wanted
to
do.
H
H
The
community
needs
to
decide
what
our
priorities
are.
We're
told
there
isn't
enough
money
to
do
more
well.
Why
isn't
there
enough
money?
What
are
our
priorities?
I
think
Anne,
Arundel
County.
Our
community
needs
to
take
a
good
hard
look
at
itself
and
decide
what
our
priorities
are,
because
if
our
priorities
are
just
barely
keeping
up
and
just
barely
paying
the
bills,
I
think
a
lot
of
people
need
to
know
that.
H
But
if
our
priorities
are
providing
for
our
kids
and
making
sure
they
have
what
they
need
to
succeed
in
life,
then
maybe
we
need
to
make
some
changes
again.
I'm
glad
that
there
was
a
peaceful
budget
passage,
but
I
think
we
all
need
to
look
at
it
to
see
what
we
can
do
so
that
we
can
do
more.
So
we
can
do
what's
right,
so
we
can
serve
our
kids,
the
best
that
we
can.
C
B
Following
along
what
Teresa
just
said,
I
am
a
little
bit
upset
since
I
had
recommended
this
amendment
and
I
think
that
the
teachers
basically
deserved
a
better
pay,
especially
since
the
past
years.
They
did
not
receive
it,
and
this
has
to
do
with
the
amendment
to
start
2008
on
those
three
four
years
where
they
did
not
get.
The
increase.
I
think
it
is
owed
to
them
and
I
think
it
is
part
of
basically
the
citizens
of
the
county
and
the
county
count.
B
J
If
it's
a
program,
it's
going
to
take
a
moment
to
address
the
upcoming
vote,
because
I
don't
think,
there's
going
to
be
an
opportunity
to
really
do
that,
as
as
we're
voting
I'm
going
to
vote
against
the
proposed
operating
budget
today
and
I'd
like
to
take
a
moment
to
explain
why,
earlier
this
year,
when
we
were
presented
with
the
superintendent's
proposed
budget
of
one
point,
one
six,
four
billion
dollars.
Mr.
J
Gilliland
and
I
offered
a
couple
of
proposed
amendments
to
reduce
certain
line
items
to
account
for
the
fact
that
we
anticipated
that
there
wouldn't
be
sufficient
funds
to
pay
for
them.
So,
for
example,
I
proposed
a
reduction
of
only
three
hundred
and
thirty
nine
thousand
five
hundred
and
ninety
dollars
out
of
a
proposed
budget
of
again
1
billion,
164
million
six
hundred
and
fifty
seven
thousand
seven
hundred
and
sixty
two
dollars.
J
And
if
my
math
is
right,
that
was
less
than
two
hundredths
of
one
percent
of
a
difference
and
the
gist
of
the
response
from
board
members
who
disagreed
and
obviously
that's
their
prerogative
to
do.
That,
was
that
it's
important
to
ask
for
as
much
as
possible.
Otherwise,
you
will
never
receive
and
I
disagreed
with
that
proposition
then,
and
I
continue
to
disagree
with
it
today.
I,
don't
think
it
is
responsible
for
us,
as
stewards
of
public
funds
to
effectively
rubber
stamp
the
superintendent's
budget
request
year
after
year.
J
When
we
know
the
reality
is
that
the
funds
won't
be
there
to
meet
that
request,
that
model
of
operating
effectively
passes
the
buck
for
making
tough
choices
about
educational
priorities,
for
our
students
to
the
county,
executive
and
the
county
council.
So,
for
example,
the
reductions
that
I
proposed
in
that
mr.
DeLand
and
I
voted
for,
or
in
fact
adopted
by
the
County
Council
and
presumably
will
be
endorsed
by
this
board.
When
image
already
votes
to
approve
this
operating
budget
in.
A
J
Few
moments
I
feel
our
students
and
the
school
system
would
be
better
served
if
we
as
a
board,
exercise
more
discretion.
Considering
budget
requests
from
superintendents
going
forward,
in
particular
by
taking
to
account
fiscal
realities.
When
we
don't
do
that,
we
advocate
that
decision
making
to
the
county
count
to
the
county
executive
and
the
County
Council.
J
Don't
think
we
need
to
wait
to
become
an
elected
board
to
exercise
the
judgment
and
responsibility
to
approve
budgets
according
to
funds
that
are
likely
to
be
available
rather
than
year
after
year,
sending
out
budgets
that
we
know
will
never
be
approved
and
I
hope
additional
board.
Members
will
consider
that
perspective
in
the
budget
process
next
year.
Perhaps
the
County
Executive
in
the
County
Council
will
take
this
boards
of
future
boards
budget
approvals
more
seriously
when
those
budgets
become
more
based
on
realities
than
on
wishes.
C
D
Disagree
with
my
colleague
that
we
rubber
stamp
the
superintendent's
budget,
many
of
us
meet
with
the
staff
and
the
superintendent
for
a
great
deal
of
time
before
that
comes
out,
so
we
know
what's
there
and
we've
shared
our
priorities
as
well,
so
we
know
beforehand
what
comes
out
so
there's
nothing,
that's
rubber-stamped.
It
is
informed
vote.
D
What
is
truly
needed
to
meet
the
needs
of
all
of
our
students
and
provide
an
excellent
education
that
benefits
not
only
our
student
but
also
the
entire
county,
by
creating
an
educated
workforce
that
attracts
businesses
and
grows
the
economy
and
creates
the
best
environment
to
live,
work
and
start
a
business
in
Maryland.
We
are
called
to
do
that.
It
is
our
position
that
we
have
to
put
forth
to
need
our
elected
officials,
and
the
public
will
not
know
what
those
needs
are
if
we
do
not
put
them
out
there
as
a
priority.
D
We
would
be
derelict
in
our
duty
if
we
did
not
put
forth
these
things
and
ask
for
the
funds
needed
looking
at
areas
that
aren't
find
that
have
funded
in
this
budget.
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
that
anyone
could
argue
that
we
don't
need
33
additional
teachers
to
meet
our
700
700
plus
student
growth
or
23
teachers
to
serve
our
growing
special
education
population
or
10
teachers
to
serve
our
growing
ALL
population.
This
is
an
excellent
budget
that
meets
our
top
priorities.
For
this
year.
D
J
Just
follow
up
briefly
and
say
that
the
point
that
I'm
trying
to
make
and
I
hope
it's
not,
that
controversial,
is
that
if
we
want
the,
you
call
them
the
political
branches
to
take
the
budgets
approved
by
this
board
more
seriously
and
perhaps
apply
a
little
more
deference
to
the
choices
that
are
made
by
this
board.
I
think
our
approved
budgets
and
our
suggestions
will
have
more
force
when
we
ourselves
exercise
more
discretion
in
scrutinizing
those
proposals.
J
So
if
you
disagree
with
the
idea
that
these
are
not
enough
teachers
to
or
another
and
other
educational
professionals
to
carry
out
the
priorities
that
we
need
for
our
school,
then
you
should
vote
against
this
budget.
But
if
you
don't
do
that,
then
you
are
approving
it
and
to
say:
okay,
we'll
all
we've
got
to
do
at
the
front,
then
is
ask
for
as
much
as
possible.
That's
our
public
responsibility,
and
if
we
don't
do
that,
then
we're
derelict.
H
R
So
we're
obligated
to
essentially
have
an
adopted
budget
that
does
not
exceed
the
appropriation
Authority.
That's
granted
by
the
council
and
within
those
fourteen
state,
categorical
areas,
not
adopting
a
budget
would
create
a
lot
of
complexities
in
that
essentially,
while
we
would
have
the
appropriation
authority
to
dispense
the
monies,
we
would
not
have
the
operational
authority
here
internally
to
dispense
the
money
so
absent
an
approved
budget.
While
we
would
have
monies
in
our
account,
we
wouldn't
have
the
authority
to
actually
issue
check
speeds
of
vendors
or
employees
or
utility
companies
etc.
So.
R
S
C
I'd
just
like
to
echo
the
statements
from
miss
Burge,
miss
som
it
summer
and
I'm
very
grateful
for
the
cooperative
manner
in
which
this
budget
was
passed
and
worked
on,
especially
with
your
team
I'm
very
much
time
very
grateful
for
that
and
as
Miss
Homer
said,
this
started
with
dr.
or
a
lot
of
requesting
from
his
staff
and
from
us
what
our
priorities
were
so
that
he
could
craft
a
recommendation.
That
was
not
everything
we
wanted,
but
certainly
a
modest
as
modest
as
we
could
be
back
in
the
wintertime.
C
We
all
realized,
there's
only
so
much
money
in
the
pot
and
as
miss
Burge
just
said,
our
citizens
do
need
to
consider
if
we
want
to
enlarge
the
pot
as
a
county,
so
that
request
like
ours
for
additional
teachers.
Dr.
Allah
knows
ours
and
miss
house
today
when
she
came
to
speak
in
order
to
reduce
class
sizes
across
the
board
in
our
school
system,
we
need
to
add
features.
C
This
year
we
had
a
different
priority
and
that
was
to
shore
up
the
health
care
and
to
make
sure
we
were
able
to
give
our
our
staff
and
our
teachers
a
step
increase
so
approving
this
budget.
For
me
today
isn't
saying
that
I
agree
that
we
have
zero
teachers
on
the
list,
but
that
the
priorities
that
we
ended
up
expressing
to
the
council
and
to
the
county
executive
and
to
dr.
alato,
or
at
least
going
to
be
passed
so
that
we
can
move
forward
and
we
can
work
on
the
next
year's
budget.
C
C
Are
those
in
favor
of
the
fi2018
operating
budget
utmost
motion
passes
seven
one
item:
5.0
2
is
also
an
information
to
action
item
the
FY
2018
capital
budget
adoption
to
have
a
motion
to
move
this
from
information
to
action,
all
those
in
favor.
We
now
have
an
action
item,
dr.
Elanna,
your
recommendation.
Yes,.
R
So
much
aligned
with
the
comments,
though,
are
offered
following
the
delivery
of
the
county
executives
budget
in
May
1.
This
is
the
the
largest
funded
appropriation
Authority
capital
budget.
That
I
am
aware
of,
certainly
in
my
tenure
here
so
overall,
the
board
requested
just
in
excess
of
240
million
dollars
slightly
in
excess
of
one
hundred.
Ninety
seven
point:
three
million
dollars
was
finally
approved,
not
the
combination
of
state
and
local
county
sources.
R
Three
substantive
changes
occurred
during
the
deliberations
of
the
council.
Those
were
the
following:
edgewater
by
amendment
by
three
separate
amendments.
Actually,
Edgewater
elementary
school
had
667
additional
thousand
dollars
added
to
its
appropriation
Authority
for
FY
18.
Similarly,
Tyler
hates
had
six
hundred
sixty
seven
thousand
dollars
added
to
it
and
Richard
Henry
Lee
had
six
hundred
and
sixty
six
thousand
dollars
added
to
it.
Those
are
the
only
three
changes
to
transpired
between
the
county
executives,
delivery
on
May,
the
1st
and
the
county
council's
adoption
on
the
14th
of
June.
R
I
R
Is
a
little
bit
of
an
oddity?
It's
an
object,
it's
a
reduction
to
which
we
have
absolutely
no
objection
to
it
all
mr.
Gilliland.
Essentially,
this
is
as
a
result
of
a
current
year
action
by
the
executive
branch
of
state
government.
So
in
the
current
year
FY
17
we
had
an
aging
Schools
program
that
had
five
hundred
and
sixty
thousand
dollars
in
it
from
the
state,
the
balance
of
which
was
funded
by
the
county.
R
R
We
were
in
alignment
to
receive
five
hundred
six
thousand
dollars
from
the
state.
The
governor's
budget
did
not
in
the
current
year
fund
the
aging
Schools
program,
so
we
never
received
the
states
share
contribution
for
that
into
current
year
fy17
and
therefore
we
did
not
expend
the
local
counties
contribution
and
FY
17
now
rolling
forward
into
FY
18.
Mr.
gulen,
the
budget
was
approved
by
the
General
Assembly
does
in
fact
have
funding
in
it
for
the
aging
Schools
program
in
FY
18.
R
We
did
not
have
to
ask
the
county
government
for
any
additional
monies
local
monies,
because
we
had
FY
17
monies
appropriation
that
we
never
spent
so
we're
taking
the
FY
17
money
that
was
never
spent.
We're
rolling
it
forward
into
FY
18
to
complement
this.
So
at
the
end
of
the
day,
there
is
actually
no
reduction,
no
service
reduction
in
the
amount
of
projects
that
we're
going
to
transpire
the
undertake.
R
H
You-
and
this
is
not
actually
about
the
current
year.
This
is
about
the
out
year
plan
and
I
can't
remember
what
was
on
the
county
executive
six-year
plan
versus
what
is
on
this
one
and
I
apologize
for
that
I
cannot
remember:
did
the
county
executive
also
zero
out
all
of
the
old
mill
projects,
except
for
the
old
mill
West
project?
That's.
R
H
R
The
information
that
was
gleaned
from
that
viability,
study
and
I
think
the
executive
and
legislative
branch
of
the
county
understood
and
appreciated
the
fact
that
the
conclusion,
the
result
of
a
viability
study
would
probably
provide
guidance
on
how
the
old
mill
project
in
total
would
look
and
a
structure
in
the
cost
of
that
and
more
than
likely
create
a
recasting
of
our
request
for
old
mill.
So
I
think.
Essentially
it's
a
little
bit
more
of
a
pause.
R
Miss
purge
to
allow
the
viability
study
information
to
allow
that
recalibration
and
I
think
there
will
be
a
greater
focus
on
that
project
in
the
budget
ahead
and
the
second
element
of
it
is
that,
as
you
recall,
the
county
put
aside
monies
in
the
FY
17
budget,
albeit
not
ours,
in
the
county's
budget,
for
land
acquisition,
for
site
acquisition
and
how
we
were
able
to
discharge
to
mannerism.
In
which
we
could
undertake
the
entire
whole
mill
project
to
some
extent,
is
predicated
on
whether
we're
successful
or
not
successful
in
acquiring
land
to
support
the
project.
R
So
that
was
the
second
reason
that
there
was
a
little
bit
of
cart
before
the
horse
piece
and
I
think
both
the
executive
and
legislative
branch
of
county
government
wanted
to
see
how
the
the
land
acquisition
elements
concluded,
hopefully
successfully
concluded
and
therefore
that
again
would
allow
them
and
us
to
to
re-examine
how
we
want
to
tackle
that
project.
Okay,.
R
Largely
its
spending
affordability
in
the
out-years
until
we
can
all
nail
down
to
a
greater
degree,
specificity
the
cost
to
the
old
mill
project.
It
is
not
sure
whether
I
mean
the
county's
got
just
less.
The
state
has
some
pretty
de
fun,
not
pretty
extremely
well
defined
capital

Affordability
ratios
that
govern
the
amount
of

that
they
can
issue

they
have
to
have
a
better
handle,
I
think
on
the
expenditures
before
they
can
commit
to
greater
indebtedness,
levels.
Okay,.
H
And
I'm,
assuming
that
they
didn't
think
about
the
optics
of
what
that
looks
like
to
the
community
of
zeroing
out
a
project
until
2024
before
they
made
that
decision,
because
if
I
were
in
the
old
mill
community
I'd
be
a
little
stressed
to
see
my
life
schools
being
zeroed
out
until
at
least
2024.
But
that's
just
my
personal
opinion.

This
summit
comments
will
hearken
back
to
those
made
earlier
under
item
5.0,
one
on
the
14th
of
June
2017.
When
a
county
council
adopted
its
budget,
it
introduced
a
series
of
amendments,
the
total
to
three
million
and
$85,000
those
were
aligned
with
both
compensation
and
fixed
charges,
elements
associated
with
the
sac
agreements
because
they
had
not
been
ratified
and
therefore
lack
specificity.
R
C
C
C
C
H
I
still
want
to
put
solar
panels
on
the
top
of
all
of
these
or
work
solar
panels
on
and
turn
them
into
shade
structures
without
the
schools
having
to
pay
for
them.
Is
that
a
possibility?
Have
we
looked
into
that
seriously?
You
know
I.
This
is
going
to
be
my
weird
question
forever.
I
think
this
is
a
really
good
idea,
and
until
you
tell
me
it's
not
a
really
good
idea,
I'm
going
to
keep
bringing
it
up
so.
R
As
the
as
the
industry
for
alternative
energy
generation
continues
to
mature
we're,
obviously
always
looking
at
it.
You
know
that
we
have
a
ground
base
to
rate
its
being
installed
in
fort
Smallwood
and
we've
partnered
with
the
city
of
Annapolis
and
a
county
to
undertake
a
shared
distribution
out
of
a
ground-based
array
in
the
city
of
Annapolis
as
well.
So
we're
continuing
to
look
at
the
sort
of
evolutionary
process
of
the
solar
industry.
Both
technology,
wise
and
cost
structure,
wise
I
mean
the
cost
structures
incrementally
coming
down
as
we're
becoming
more
efficient
at
constructing
them.
H

All

I
You
I
did
not
ask
this
question
during
first
reading,
but
I've
had
a
chance
to
contemplate
on
that
and
on
this
a
bit
and
there's
no
clean
way
of
asking
this
question,
but
some
of
us
may
be
running
for
to
become
elected
members
of
this
board,
potentially
next
year
and
I'm.
Reading
the
vendor
relations
and,
in
particular,
the
regulations
that
stipulate
gifts,
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
a
campaign
contribution
would
not
qualify
as
a
gift.
This
is
that
your
your
read
on
that
and.

Again
for
the
record
Jeanette
Ortiz,
legislative
and
policy
council,
food
and
nutrition
services
brings
policy
EB
student
nutrition
services
whole
school
to
for
first
reading.
This
policy
was
last
revised
on
April
23rd
2015.
The
updated
policy
addresses
student
nutrition
standards
encompassing
the
entire
school
environment.
The
policy
will
be
posted
on
our
website
for
30
days
for
public
comment,
and
we
can
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
H
H
S
H
A
H
There
are
some
times
when
principals
come
into
schools
and
there
are
issues
because
the
new
principal
and
the
school
do
not
have
the
same
thoughts
about
wellness
and
they
don't
get
along
very
well.
So
I'm
just
wondering
you
know,
because
parents
like
to
point
to
regulations
and
principals
like
to
just
tell
them
the
way
that
it's
going
to
be,
and
you
know
as
a
parent
I'm
just
yeah
but
I'm
just
wondering
like.
H
V
The
record
Jody
was
a
supervisor
of
food
and
nutrition
services
of
parents
and
a
registered
dietician
here's
another
County.
This
policy
is,
is
I,
think
driven
as
a
model.
You
know
across
the
nation
to
really
set
the
nutrition
standard
above
a
federal
estate
and
a
local
regulation.
So
we
take
pride
in
all
of
the
fruits
and
the
vegetables
and
the
awesome
healthy,
nutritious
meals
we
sell,
and
we
really.
V
This
is
just
saying:
let
it
triple
all
the
way
through
the
system,
so
the
federal
legislation
that
was
just
passed
as
far
as
well
as
policy
states
that
you
really
have
to
have
the
role
model
in
place,
and
we
really
have
to
set
a
good
example.
But
it
also
says
you
have
to
comply
with
a
smart
snack
which,
in
the
USDA
standard
and
there's
Maryland
nutrition
standards
which
are
MSDE,
and
they
really
say
things
have
to
have
a
fruit
or
vegetable
as
its
component.
It
has
to
have
protein,
it
has
to
be
whole
great.
V
So
in
reality
we
really
want
to
continue
to
encourage
those
items
and
in
our
office
we
would
continue
to
support
the
schools
and
ways
they
can
use.
Those
initiatives
so
I
think
there's
so
many
ways
that
we
could
really
celebrate,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
lollipops,
and
this
is
basically
saying,
really
encourages
us
to
go
to
the
healthy
option.
It
will
give
many
options
to
really
have
them,
but.
V
G
W
V
You
know
it's
all
due
respect
having
a
daughter
that
mr.
Davis
anvil
elementary
under
how
these
celebrations
are
fantastic,
so
they
do
they
roots
and
vegetables
and
they
make
things
that
are
very
health,
oriented
and
very
positive.
So
it's
really
reflect
on
the
school
environment
as
well.
Take
my
help.
I
Thank
you,
I
just
want
to
piggyback
on
on
what
mrs.
Burge
was
saying,
but
in
another
way
just
to
be
clear,
then,
because
that
I
didn't
read
it
that
way,
but
but
now
I
see,
let's
say,
there's
a
contest
and
you
know
somebody
wants
to
bring
in
you
know
25
or
30
pizzas.
You
know
to
reward
the
kids
for
doing
a
good
job
somewhere.
So
you
know
pick
your
pizza
supplier
I,
don't
want
to
say
any
of
the
names
but
the
big
ones.
You
know
so
somebody
comes
in
with
25
pizzas.
V
I
When
I
was
under
the
impression
that
some
of
our
schools,
you
know,
if
there's
a
rewards,
event
or
I
should
say
award
ceremony
or
something
that
you
know
there
was
pizza,
was
provided
sometimes
or
there
were
snacks
or
other
things.
So
it
is
when
that
happens,
because
I've
been
invited
to
some.
So
when,
when
that
happens,
they're
in
violation
of
the
existing
policy
and
then
potentially
there'll
be
a
violation
of
this
new
policy.
V
I
C
G
Part
of
the
issue
in
schools
is
that
there
are
a
lot
of
students
or
some
students
who
are
allergic
so
when
Davidson
bill
and
other
schools,
when
we've
had
those
issues.
The
old
time
of
bringing
in
the
cupcakes
I
had
a
student
at
Davidson
Ville,
who
couldn't
even
sit
at
a
table
with
someone
having
a
peanut
butter
sandwich.
So
we
have
to
the
nutrition.
Labels

extremely
important
because
of
the
allergy
situation
and
you
can
also
work
with
and
we
did
work
with
the
school
lunch
and
and
do
have
reward
kind
of
celebrations.
G

This
is
now
into
your
comment
on
allergies.
Number:
nine
does
a
dress.
You
know
considering
wellness
issues
as
well
as
melody
via
for
registered
dietitians
on
snap,
we
work
with
all
the
school
nurses
to
really
look
at
that,
because,
when
it's
coming
from
home,
if
it's
not
prepackaged,
it's
not
labeled
we're
really
putting
ourself
a
trip
for
the
children
who
have
allergies
they're,
somebody
that
we
may
not
even
know
how
right.
C
B
Have
a
question
that
has
to
do
with
the
teachers
and
the
celebration,
because
I
went
to
one
of
the
schools
that
they
were
celebrating
their
Hispanic
week
and
they
had
the
Hispanic
food
and
there
were
only
the
teachers.
This
only
addresses
the
student
nutritional
services,
so
the
teachers
could
have
something
brought
into
the
school
for
their
celebrations.
H
H
A
H
H
H
V
So
on
the
regulation,
the
new
one
was
publicly
that
was
issued
from
USDA
because
we
can
notify
the
parents
of
what
our
chart
policy
is,
because
we
have
a
policy
that
can
establish
by
the
sword
a
few
years
back.
All
of
our
students
without
lunch,
money
are
entitled
up
to
five
lunches
and
that
would
be
their
negative
debt
balance
that
they
can
carry
over.
So
what.
E
So
we
opened
this
past
Monday
with
great
fanfare
and
some
nice
turnout,
but
one
of
the
people
of
the
many
that
were
there
to
celebrate.
The
opening
of
this
was
the
director
of
USDA
for
this
geographic
region,
she's
based
in
New
Jersey,
and
she
drove
down
from
New
Jersey
to
be
there
for
this
opening
of
the
farmers
market
or
Brooklyn
Park,
Middle,
School
and
she
and
I
were
talking
and
I
was
singing
Jodi's
praises.
She
grabbed
my
arm
and
looked
at
me
and
said
you
have
no
idea
how
amazing
Jody
is.

Communications
officer
for
the
school
system
and
to
my
left
are
Donna
Hoyle,
our
manager
of
web
services
and
mineka
monk,
our
senior
manager
for
communications.
We're
happy
to
be
here
to
take
you
through
our
new
website,
which
we
launched
last
week.
This
website
is
the
result
of
a
year
of
collaboration
with
every
department
in
this
school
system.
They
have
been
terrific
partners,
Donna,
spearheaded
this
project
and
she
and
mineka
as
well
as
I,
want
to
mention
amber
McClanahan,
our
online
communication
specialist,
who
did
an
awful
lot
of
work
as
well.
They
really
done
heavy
lifting.
Y
This
is
our
old
site,
which
was
built
in
2003,
which
I
would
liken
to
the
Mesozoic
era
in
terms
of
web
web
standards.
This
is
our
new
site,
which
we
launched
last
week,
just
a
couple
of
things
about
it.
We
designed
it
in
an
attempt,
sort
of
and
Donna
will
talk
about
this,
but
the
reverse
of
the
way
the
old
site
was
built,
a
set
of
an
org
chart
mentality.
We
put
some
focus
groups
together
and
went
from
a
user
accessibility
standpoint
it.
Y
It
is
easier
to
access.
It
has
more
information
for
people.
I
want
to
say
that
it
is
an
ongoing
initiative.
It
is
by
far
not
finished.
We
have
a
lot
of
work
left
to
do
our
school
web
sites,
for
example.
We
did
not
do
in
this
round
we're
doing
at
a
later
date,
but
there's
a
couple
key
features:
I
want
to
show
you
before
Donna
mineka
walk
you
through
the
heart
of
it.
Well,
first
and
then
first,
it
is
a
DA
compliant.
So
folks,
with
disabilities
have
full
access
to
it.
Y
When
you
we
have
the
ability
to
put
important
messages
on
our
site
like
this,
so
if,
for
example,
in
the
middle
of
the
morning,
it
starts
to
snow
and
we
have
to
close
schools
two
hours
early,
we
can
put
this
up
there
and
every
user
who
gets
to
our
site
will
get
this
message
like
this,
that
you
have
to
click
off
of
to
get
rid
of.
So
we
can
ensure
that
that
you
see
it
is
responsive.
Y
It
adapts
to
your
smart
phone,
your
iPad,
your
tablet
without
having
to
scroll
and
then
large
and
do
other
kind
of
stuff
that
we
used
to
do,
and
one
of
my
favorite
features.
This
translate
button
here
will
translate
our
website
every
text,
part
of
our
website
into
accountant
this
morning,
102
languages
and
so
that's
very
helpful.
It
does
use
Google
Translate,
so
it
is
limited
by
whatever
Google
Translate
limits
us
to,
but
it
is
obviously
exponentially
better
than
what
we
had
before
and
to
get
back
to
the
English
version.
Y
X
Morning,
so
what
we've
done
is
Bob
mentioned
is
a
complete
overhaul
of
our
of
our
website,
and
the
task
was
not
just
transferring
the
information
from
the
old
site
to
the
new,
but
really
enhancing
the
information
for
the
newly
formatted
site,
so
I'm
going
to
review
the
most
significant
changes
that
we
made
over
the
last
12
months.
While
we've
been
working
on
this,
we
think
that
we've
designed
a
site
with
a
great
deal
of
visual
impact
and
that's
certainly
more
modern.
X
So
we'll
go
over
that
a
little
a
little
bit
more
detail
later.
We
so
going
to
the
top
left
of
the
site.
We
kept
some
of
the
more
familiar
features
of
the
site.
Schools
today
is
something
that's
very
familiar
to
our
users
and
that's
school
status
information.
So
we
kept
that
in
the
same
place,
front
and
center
and
easily
accessible
one
of
the
major
enhancements
over
to
the
right
on
the
top
is
the
it's
called
the
mega
schools
menu,
and
certainly
this
is
a
lot
different
than
our
old
website.
X
The
way
that
we're
presenting
schools-
if
you,
if
you
click
on
any
of
the
schools,
it
takes
you
to
what
we
call
school.
We
refer
to
a
school
gateway
or
school
information
pages
and
they're.
The
our
links
on
these
pages
basic
school
information,
Twitter
feed,
just
everything
you
would
kind
of
want
to
know
about
that
school
as
well
as
links
to
the
school
websites.
X
So
that's
a
lot
different
than
our
old
site.
As
Bob
mentioned,
the
translation
function
certainly
something
that's
going
to
be
a
great
feature
for
our
wide
audience.
In
our
very
diverse
audience,
the
global
the
items
at
the
top,
the
top
right,
the
global
icons,
are
really
information
that
we
felt
to
be
front
and
center.
We
know
from
experience
that
our
school
calendar
is
certainly
the
most
visited
area
of
our
website.
X
So
that's
that's
why
we
presented
that,
on
the
top
of
the
front
page,
the
social
media,
moving
over
to
the
left,
the
social
media
icons
they
are,
they
actually
remain
static,
so
anywhere
you
go
throughout
the
website.
They
will
be
on
the
left
side
and
there
are
links
to
our
Twitter
and
all
of
our
social,
our
Twitter
and
Facebook,
and
social
media
accounts
over
to
the
right
on
the
is
our
search
engine,
which
is
the
magnifying
so
I
want
to
point
out
that
eventually
this
will
be
fully
operational,
but
right
now
it
is
not.
X
X
X
Parents
is
now
families
which
we
felt
was
a
more
inclusive
term
partner.
Community
and
business
is
now
partners
and
about
us
is
really
where
we
attempted
to
consolidate
all
the
information
about
the
organization
itself,
which
is
what's
really
more
scattered
throughout
the
site
for
so
just
to
take
you
through
some
of
the
focus
of
the
content
on
these
main
pages.
X
If
you,
if
we
look
at
the
students
page,
so
what
we
did
is
we
tried
to
create
groups
of
information
that
are
very
that
would
be
very
familiar
to
our
users
and
duplicate
that
throughout
the
website.
So
calendars
and
schedules
is
all
together.
You'll
see
that
duplicated
on
different
pages
throughout
our
site
meet
our
students.
You'll
also
see
meet
our
families,
some
other
information,
that's
graphically
represented,
and
this
was
a
joint
project
with
our
marketing
department
and
allows
us
to
kind
of
use
their
information
and
create
dynamic
content
that
would
change
on
a
frequent
basis.
X
We
also
other
other
links
that
are
really
important
are
under
resources
and
links
and
health
and
safety.
We
represented
a
lot
of
information
graphically.
We
wanted
it
to
be
eye-catching
and
again
you'll
see
health
and
safety
with
the
student
hotline
information.
That's
really
important
to
students
and
Families,
so
you'll
see
that
those
groups
of
information
duplicated
throughout
our
website.
X
Next
I
want
to
look
at
the
academics
tab,
so
this
is
completely
different,
a
complete
overhaul.
We
really
worked
extensively
on
dividing
this
up
into
subjects
and
programs
which
we
thought
was
just
a
better
representation
of
the
information.
So
this
is
kind
of
a
where
you
would
get
any
of
that
information
for
a
required
subject
a
program,
and
then
there
are
links
for
academic
support
on
the
right
and
then
I
want
to
point
out
that
if
you,
if
you
click
on
any
of
the
the
curriculum
areas,
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
create
uniform
information.
X
So
we
did.
We
did
work
with
the
departments
on
making
this
sites
look
very
similar,
so
that
people
would
really
know
you
know
where
to
access
information
on
the
same
place,
and
the
contact
area
on
each
page
is
on
the
right
side
so
that
any
parent
or
student
would
know
where
to
get
where
to
actually
get
assistance
in
that
area.
X
Click
Next
to
look
at
the
service
page.
This
is
a
really
good
example
of
of
how
we
tried
to
make
this
site
more
topical,
so
we
wanted
it
to
be
problem
and
solution
oriented.
So
someone
is
actually
looking
for
information
regarding
a
topic
that
it
would.
It
would
be
here
and
again,
you'll
see
the
same
thing
under
families,
because
some
of
those
are
the
same
topics
are
of
the
same
concern.
So
the
pages
are
different
and
relevant
information
for
each
topic.
X
Schools,
the
schools
page,
has
general
school
information,
green,
blue
and
green
ribbon.
Wellness
schools
and
bus
transportation
field
trips,
things
that
are
topical
to
a
school
specifically,
the
board
page
is
kind
of
everything
about
the
board,
the
same
as
a
lot
of
the
same
information
as
before,
but
presented
differently
on
this
new
site
next,
the
staff.
X
So
this
was
a
really
extensive
project
with
the
human
resources
department.
Hr
is
kind
of
a
sight
unto
itself
and
it
is
the
most
traveled
area
of
our
website
and
that's
just
due
to
the
nature
of
the
information
here
and
the
number
of
employees
that
we
have.
So
we
really
worked
extensively
on
make
on
dividing
this
up
into
those
that
would
like
to
work
here,
our
current
staff
and
retirees.
So
that's
that's,
divided
up
that
way,
and
this
site
has
a
great
deal
of
information
and
lots
of
layers.
X
The
partners
tab
is
really
just
a
catch-all
for
businesses
that
want
to
work
with
us
community
information
and
vice
versa,
and
then,
as
as
I
mentioned,
the
about
Us
tab
has
information
regarding
the
organization.
So
that's
where
you
would
find
org
charts
information
about
doctor
our
lotto,
a
catch
offer
for
information
regarding
a
a
CPF.
N
As
you
can
see
in
the
main
part
of
the
most
graphic
part
of
our
website,
we
have
what
is
already
familiar.
A
slide
show
right
in
the
beginning,
but
it's
much
bigger
and
brighter
and
also
gives
us
more
opportunities
to
use
other
tools,
besides
just
graphics,
to
communicate
with
the
public,
as
you
can
see
from
the
first
graphic.
N
It's
a
what
this
graphic
is:
the
summer
video
I'm,
sorry
summer,
graphic
that
has
all
details
about
summer
programming,
that's
going
on
in
the
school
system,
not
just
academically,
but
it
also
includes
summer
meals
that
are
provided
throughout
the
summer.
So
a
catch-all
for
summer
information
and
then
the
other
graphic.
That's
currently
running
in
the
slideshow
is
a
tutorial
video
for
folks
to
get
acquainted
with
them.
The
new
website,
so
that
they
feel
welcome,
then,
can
jump
right
in
and
get
all
the
information
they
need
to
navigate
this
new
site.
N
On
the
right
hand,
side
we
have
tabs
that
the
communications
office
will
manage
that
we
feel
is
the
most
pertinent
relevant
information
that
the
public
needs
to
know
right
now.
The
first
tab
is
the
upcoming
at
a
ACPs
which
is
directly
linked
to
our
school
calendar,
but
it
also
is
a
tool
that
we
can
use
to
link
to
other
school
events
going
on,
so
it
can
trickle
down
to
other
schools
as
well
as
offices
anything
exciting.
That's
going
on.
We
can
advertise
right
here
as
an
upcoming
event
within
this
tab.
N
The
next
tab
is
a
ACPs
now,
which
is
another
way
for
us
to
share
news
that
may
not
need
to
be
featured
as
a
big
graphic
as
part
of
the
slideshow,
but
that
is
relevant
to
what
the
public
needs
to
know.
What's
currently
running
is
final
school
hours,
which
is
definitely
a
hot
topic
for
our
public,
as
they
are
gearing
up
for
the
new
school
year,
knowing
when
school,
starts
and
ends,
since
it
has
changed
as
well
as
administrative
changes
that
are
currently
happening
and
that
have
occurred
throughout
the
summer.
N
Parents
want
to
know
who
their
new
principals
are
for
school,
so
they'll
be
able
to
get
that
information
quickly
and
access
it
there.
That
is
information
that
obviously
will
change
frequently
and
often
again,
as
news
changes
within
the
school
system.
The
next
tab
is
get
involved.
We
thought
it
was
very
important
to
put
out
front
and
center
reaching
out
to
the
public
how
they
can
get
involved,
so
not
only
businesses,
the
volunteers,
which
is
a
huge
part
of
our
system
to
keep
our
kids
and
our
schools
active
and
going
in
the
right
direction.
N
So
we
wanted
to
feature
that
that
is
information
that
is
not
as
dynamic
as
the
other
tab.
Information
is,
but
it's
something
again
that
we
wanted
to
include
to
embrace
the
community
so
that
they
know
that
we
need
them
to
help
us
move
forward,
and
then
we
have
the
hash
tag.
A
ACPs
awesome
tab,
which
is
information
that
we
like
to
include
about
all
the
exciting
things
that
are
happening.
That
is
truly
a
ACPs
awesome
in
our
school
system.
I
did
want
to
point
out
one
other
thing
with
the
global
icons
at
the
top.
N
We
do
have
the
ability
to
add
icons
in
that
section
and
we
will
do
so
as
needed
when
exciting
information
like,
for
instance,
as
the
school
year
begins,
parents
are
going
to
want
to
know
bus
schedules
they're
going
to
want
to
know
lots
of
important
information.
That's
coming
up
we'll
be
able
to
put
a
new
icon
up
there,
so
they
can
quickly
access
that
information,
and
then
Donna
will
finish
talking
about
the
rest
of
the
website.
Okay,.
X
Thank
you
so
at
the
bottom
of
the
site,
I
want
to
point
out
that
again
some
of
these
topics,
we
did
hold
parent
focus
groups
and
some
of
these
this
information
was
was
decided
as
a
result
of
some
of
our
focus
groups.
We
did
have
testing
assessments
up
front
on
our
old
site.
We
felt
it
was
important
to
include
that
here,
strategic
plan
operating
capital
budgets,
more
organization,
information
that
needs
to
be
front
and
center,
the
next,
the
next
three
boxes,
the
lighter
colored
boxes,
are
really
more
news.
X
Are
our
social
media
feeds
Twitter
and
Facebook,
and
our
television
station
cable,
media
information?
And
that's
that's
really,
you
know
kind
of
a
summary
of
the
whole
website.
Our
future
efforts,
as
Bob
mentioned
ad,
a
compliance
at
the
beginning,
we're
going
to
focus
heavily
on
keeping
the
site
compliant,
which
is
you
know,
certainly
a
big
issue
for
any
large
website
or
any
governmental
website
in
this
day
and
age,
and
so
we
will
be
doing
that
we'll
be
continually
enhancing
and
improving
the
information.
X
One
of
the
large
features
of
this
website
is
that
it
does
have
a
back-end
and
we
can
have
content
content
contributors.
So
we,
as
we've
worked
with
the
departments
in
building.
This
will
be
continually
providing
training
because
they
will
be
able
to
do
updates
and
enhance
their
websites,
but
we'll
also
oversee
that
you
know
to
ensure
that
the
site
you
know
continues
to
have
appropriate
information
and
is
ABA
compliant.
X
So
I
have
a
few
thank-yous
because
there
was
a
lot
of
collaboration
with
this
website.
Certainly
our
Communications
Office
manycam
Leung
contributed
a
lot
of
ideas
at
the
beginning
of
this
project,
and
you
know
that
was
just
really
a
great
help
to
us.
Amber
McClanahan
was
very
instrumental
in
doing
the
school
introductory
pages.
Lots
of
work
went
into
that,
and
the
department's,
just
that
I
want
to
mention,
is,
as
I
mentioned,
HR.
X
We
did
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work
together
over
the
last
few
months
and
they
were
tremendously
helpful
in
getting
this
news
website
up
in
that
large
departmental
area
curriculum
and
instruction.
Certainly,
lots
of
work
and
lots
of
contributions,
and
the
partnerships
and
marketing
department
contributed
a
lot
of
great
ideas
for
the
site,
and
that
is
reflected
in
our
new
website,
Advanced
Studies
and
special
education.
Just
they
had
a
lot
of
complex
information
to
rework
for
the
new
site
and
we're
very
proud
of
the
new
site
and
any
questions.
Thank
you.
Okay,.
B
I
have
a
question
for
Bob
Bob
on
the
emergency
button
and
I'm
going
to
refer
back
to
it,
because
it's
something
that
Annapolis
City
has
you
have
to
register
with
Annapolis
City,
but
if
there's
any
alert
physically,
you
can
either
get
it
in
your
telephone
and
I
mean
it
goes,
live
all
of
a
sudden.
You
just
starts
ringing
and
it
starts
talking
whether
you
like
it
or
not.
Can
the
parents
do
that
so.
Y
I
You
again,
madam
president,
I'll
be
brief,
and
brevity
is
not
my
strong
suit
but
I'll
try
just
to
say
thank
you
to
you,
mr.
Moser,
and
your
entire
team.
I
have
been
saying
to
to
mr.
Moser
and
dr.
alato,
since
I
got
here
that
I
thought
the
old
website
was
was
past
its
time
and
the
reality
is
that
that
was
created
when
websites
were
not
the
primary
information
modality,
and
you
know,
people
were
still
using
more
TV
at
that
time,
and
we've
certainly
seen
that
shift
over
the
lat.
I
The
last
you
know
12,
14,
15
or
so
years.
So
so
thank
you
for
that.
This
really
does
meet
our
obligation
to
inform
and
as
we
grow
for
the
ad,
a
compliance
and,
and
certainly
there's
the
multilingual
capacity
here,
which
is
a
tremendous
need
now.
I
I
think
this
is
excellent.
It
provides
the
rich
content,
great
videos,
great
graphics,
in
in
such
a
great
searchable
format.
I
That
is
not
just
what
you
see
on
the
computer
screen,
but
it's
also
a
great
mobile
experience
and
I
can't
underscore
that
enough
as
well,
because
it's
not
just
Mobile
Compatibility
anymore,
but
rather
it's
an
experience.
It's
a
mobile
experience
that
we
need
to
ensure
that
we're
setting.
So
this
this
is
tremendous
and
I
can't
say.
Thank
you
enough.
D
I
want
to
stress
again,
while
you
were
doing
and
I
was
doing
it
on
my
phone
here
and
it's
wonderful,
how
it
adapts
to
my
phone
and
how
I
can
go
through
everything.
Fabulous
y'all
have
done
a
great
job.
Thank
you!
So
much
and
just
for
massages
when
you
say
about
the
emergency
calls.
If
you
have
a
student
in
the
school
and
you're
registered
to
get
the
messages
we
hear
from
Bob
all
the
times,
there's
an
emergency.
So
we
do
get
the
phone
calls
about.
That.
D
C
C
So
if
you're
looking
to
get
hired
a
GPS,
that's
the
button
for
you
and
under
the
boarded
tab
there
is
a
section
at
the
very
bottom
that
says
the
school
board,
appointment,
commission
and
anybody
who
would
love
to
sit
in
the
seat
next
to
miss
a
so
they're,
currently
accepting
applications
right
on
the
website.
So
thank
you
all.
Thank.

at
each
of
the
high
schools

their
signature
program

then

Dima.
We
also
have
internships
that
are
required
for
our
students
to
complete
those
students
are
brought
to
us
multiple
ways
and
those
internships
are
brought
to
us
multiple
ways:
students
that
may
have
internship
opportunities
in
the
community
that
they
bring
to
us,
but
also
we
have
our
business
partners
bringing
in
internship
opportunities
that
they
want
to
offer
to
our
students
and
all
of
those
are
fully
vetted.
